Exploring orbital angular momentum and spin-orbit correlation for gluons at the Electron-Ion Collider
In our previous work [Phys. Rev. Lett. 128, 182002 (2022)], we introduced a pioneering observable aimed at experimentally detecting the orbital angular momentum (OAM) of gluons. Our focus was on the longitudinal double spin asymmetry observed in exclusive dijet production during electron-proton scattering. We demonstrated the sensitivity of the $\cos ϕ$ angular correlation between the scattered electron and proton as a probe for gluon OAM at small-$x$ and its intricate interplay with gluon hel…

Optimizing Neural Networks for Bermudan Option Pricing: Convergence Acceleration, Future Exposure Evaluation and Interpolation in Counterparty Credit Risk

https://arxiv.org/abs/2402.15936 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2402.15936
arXiv:2402.15936v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: This paper presents a Monte-Carlo-based artificial neural network framework for pricing Bermudan options, offering several notable advantages. These advantages encompass the efficient static hedging of the target Bermudan option and the effective generation of exposure profiles for risk management. We also introduce a novel optimisation algorithm designed to expedite the convergence of the neural network framework proposed by Lokeshwar et al. (2022) supported by a comprehensive error convergence analysis. We conduct an extensive comparative analysis of the Present Value (PV) distribution under Markovian and no-arbitrage assumptions. We compare the proposed neural network model in conjunction with the approach initially introduced by Longstaff and Schwartz (2001) and benchmark it against the COS model, the pricing model pioneered by Fang and Oosterlee (2009), across all Bermudan exercise time points. Additionally, we evaluate exposure profiles, including Expected Exposure and Potential Future Exposure, generated by our proposed model and the Longstaff-Schwartz model, comparing them against the COS model. We also derive exposure profiles at finer non-standard grid points or risk horizons using the proposed approach, juxtaposed with the Longstaff Schwartz method with linear interpolation and benchmark against the COS method. In addition, we explore the effectiveness of various interpolation schemes within the context of the Longstaff-Schwartz method for generating exposures at finer grid horizons.

Sam Williams has golden opportunity in 2024
The Dallas Cowboys offseason has been one to forget, this roster is filled with players still on their rookie contracts, and one of them, Inpitucluar, has a golden opportunity to break out in 2024. Sam Williams, the second-round pick out of Ole Miss in 2022, will have every chance in 2024 to make a name for himself. Williams has had to fight for playing time in the last few years, but with Dante Fowler and Dorance Armstrong leaving via free agency, Williams will be needed this season. Last seas…

Optimal Pseudorandom Generators for Low-Degree Polynomials Over Moderately Large Fields

Optimal Pseudorandom Generators for Low-Degree Polynomials Over Moderately Large Fields
We construct explicit pseudorandom generators that fool $n$-variate polynomials of degree at most $d$ over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. The seed length of our generators is $O(d \log n + \log q)$, over fields of size exponential in $d$ and characteristic at least $d(d-1)+1$. Previous constructions such as Bogdanov's (STOC 2005) and Derksen and Viola's (FOCS 2022) had either suboptimal seed length or required the field size to depend on $n$. Our approach follows Bogdanov's paradigm while inc…

Computing Longest Common Subsequence under Cartesian-Tree Matching Model
Two strings of the same length are said to Cartesian-tree match (CT-match) if their Cartesian-trees are isomorphic [Park et al., TCS 2020]. Cartesian-tree matching is a natural model that allows for capturing similarities of numerical sequences. Oizumi et al. [CPM 2022] showed that subsequence pattern matching under CT-matching model can be solved in polynomial time. This current article follows and extends this line of research: We present the first polynomial-time algorithm that finds the lon…

Tyler Smith says he’s ‘really comfortable’ at guard as Cowboys consider move to tackle
The Dallas Cowboys have some big choices to make before the 2024 NFL Draft later this month. One of the biggest questions they have to answer is how they’ll replace long-time starting left tackle Tyron Smith. In 2022, when Smith suffered a severe leg injury, the team opted to try rookie first-rounder Tyler Smith there. It worked well, but once the veteran returned to full health, he returned to left tackle. Tyler Smith had a standout year at left guard this season, which has him quite content…

Using Large Context for Kidney Multi-Structure Segmentation from CTA Images
Accurate and automated segmentation of multi-structure (i.e., kidneys, renal tu-mors, arteries, and veins) from 3D CTA is one of the most important tasks for surgery-based renal cancer treatment (e.g., laparoscopic partial nephrectomy). This paper briefly presents the main technique details of the multi-structure seg-mentation method in MICCAI 2022 KIPA challenge. The main contribution of this paper is that we design the 3D UNet with the large context information cap-turing capability. Our meth…

Statistical theory of the broadband two plasmon decay instability
There is renewed interest in direct-drive inertial confinement fusion, following the milestone December 2022 3.15 MJ ignition result on the National Ignition Facility. A key obstacle is the control of the two plasmon decay instability. Here, recent advances in inhomogeneous turbulence theory are applied to the broadband parametric instability problem for the first time. A novel dispersion relation is derived for the two plasmon decay in a uniform plasma valid under broad-bandwidth laser fields …

Richard A. Litherland: A Brief Biography
Richard A. Litherland was born in 1953 in England. He received his PhD at Trinity College in Cambridge in 1979 and moved to the USA in 1983. He had a lengthy and distinguished career as a professor of mathematics and researcher of low-dimensional topology, based primarily at Louisiana State University (LSU) in Baton Rouge until his untimely passing in November 2022. In this paper we (Rick's family and students) recount some memories of Rick, his life and his mathematics.

Quantum simulation of hadronic states with Rydberg-dressed atoms
The phenomenon of confinement is well known in high-energy physics and can also be realized for low-energy domain-wall excitations in one-dimensional quantum spin chains. A bound state consisting of two domain-walls can behave like a meson, and in a recent work of Vovrosh et al. [PRX Quantum 3, 040309 (2022)] , it was demonstrated that a pair of mesons could dynamically form a meta-stable confinement-induced bound state (consisting of four domain-walls) akin to a hadronic state. However, the pr…

Burning plasma performance, transport, and the effect of hydrogen isotope on confinement has been predicted for ITER baseline scenario (IBS) conditions using nonlinear gyrokinetic profile predictions. Accelerated by surrogate modeling [P. Rodriguez-Fernandez NF 2022], high fidelity, nonlinear gyrokinetic simulations performed with the CGYRO code [J.
