Effect of Rotation on Wave Mixing in Intermediate Mass Stars
Internal gravity waves (IGWs) are likely to cause mixing in stellar interiors. Studies show that the mixing by these waves changes drastically across age and mass (Varghese et al. 2023, arXiv:2211.06432). Here, we study the effect of rotation on this wave mixing by considering a 7 M$_{\odot}$ model at ZAMS and midMS. We compare the mixing profiles at a range of rotation rates ($1\times 10^{-5}$, $2\times 10^{-5}$, $3\times 10^{-5}$, $4\times 10^{-5}$ and $1\times 10^{-4}$ rad.s$^{-1}$) and obse…

Our approach builds on some Feynman-Kac type probabilistic representation formulae for solutions of PDEs and their derivatives. Moreover, in the infinite horizon model wi…

Bifurcations of periodic orbits in the 3D secular planetary 3-Body problem: an approach through an integrable Hamiltonian system
We analyze, through a geometric description, the sequence of bifurcations of periodic orbits in a Hamiltonian model derived from the normalization of the secular 3D planetary three body problem. Stemming from the results in (Mastroianni & Efthymiopoulos 2023) we analyze the phase space of the corresponding integrable approximation. In particular, we propose a normal form leading to an integrable Hamiltonian whose sequence of bifurcations is qualitatively the same as that in the complete system.…

A fractional approach to strain-gradient plasticity: beyond core-radius of discrete dislocations
We derive a strain-gradient theory for plasticity as the $Γ$-limit of discrete dislocation fractional energies, without the introduction of a core-radius. By using the finite horizon fractional gradient introduced by Bellido, Cueto, and Mora-Corral of 2023, we consider a nonlocal model of semi-discrete dislocations, in which the stored elastic energy is computed via the fractional gradient of order $1-α$.

Analysis of non-equilibrium fluctuations in a number of COVID-19 cases and deaths based on time-convolutionless projection-operator method
The non-equilibrium fluctuations observed in a number of COVID-19 cases and deaths are analyzed from a statistical-dynamical point view. By investigating the data observed around the world which were collected from January 15, 2020 to April 28, 2023 at https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/, we first show that the dynamics of the fluctuations is described by a stochastic equation whose stochastic force is a multiplicative type. By employing the time-convolutionless projection-operator method in open syst…

Exact Sparse Representation Recovery in Signal Demixing and Group BLASSO
In this short article we present the theory of sparse representations recovery in convex regularized optimization problems introduced in (Carioni and Del Grande, arXiv:2311.08072, 2023). We focus on the scenario where the unknowns belong to Banach spaces and measurements are taken in Hilbert spaces, exploring the properties of minimizers of optimization problems in such settings. Specifically, we analyze a Tikhonov-regularized convex optimization problem, where $y_0$ are the measured data, $w$ …

GemNet: Menu-Based, Strategy-Proof Multi-Bidder Auctions Through Deep Learning
Differentiable economics uses deep learning for automated mechanism design. Despite strong progress, it has remained an open problem to learn multi-bidder, general, and fully strategy-proof (SP) auctions. We introduce GEneral Menu-based NETwork (GemNet), which significantly extends the menu-based approach of RochetNet [Dütting et al., 2023] to the multi-bidder setting. The challenge in achieving SP is to learn bidder-independent menus that are feasible, so that the optimal menu choices for eac…

Predicting Exoplanetary Features with a Residual Model for Uniform and Gaussian Distributions
The advancement of technology has led to rampant growth in data collection across almost every field, including astrophysics, with researchers turning to machine learning to process and analyze this data. One prominent example of this data in astrophysics is the atmospheric retrievals of exoplanets. In order to help bridge the gap between machine learning and astrophysics domain experts, the 2023 Ariel Data Challenge was hosted to predict posterior distributions of 7 exoplanetary features. The …

Implied volatility (also) is path-dependent
We propose a new model for the coherent forecasting of both the implied volatility surfaces and the underlying asset returns.In the spirit of Guyon and Lekeufack (2023) who are interested in the dependence of volatility indices (e.g. the VIX) on the paths of the associated equity indices (e.g. the S&P 500), we first study how implied volatility can be predicted using the past trajectory of the underlying asset price. Our empirical study reveals that a large part of the movements of the at-the-m…

Characteristics and Energy Flux Distributions of Decayless Transverse Oscillations Depending on Coronal Regions
Lim et al. (2023) have recently proposed that the slope ($δ$) of the power law distribution between the energy flux and oscillation frequency could determine whether high-frequency transverse oscillations give a dominant contribution to the heating ($δ<1$). A meta-analysis of decayless transverse oscillations revealed that high-frequency oscillations potentially play a key role in heating the solar corona. We aim to investigate how (whether) the distributions of the energy flux contained in t…

Davante Adams Sets Record Straight On Expectations For Raiders’ Offense
The 2023 campaign was Davante Adams’ second season with the Las Vegas Raiders, and the lack of success—particularly on the offensive side of the ball—was clearly weighing on him. Adams voiced his displeasure multiple times throughout the season, which had some wondering if the Raiders could potentially trade him. The superstar wide receiver is still in Las Vegas and is now preparing for his third year with the club, but he is making it pretty clear that he expects the offense to take a st…

Graphical proof of Ginibre's inequality
In this short note, we will give a new combinatorial proof of Ginibre's inequality for XY models. Our proof is based on multigraph representations introduced by van Engelenburg-Lis (2023) and a new bijection, which can be viewed as a combinatorial interpretation of Ginibre's square trick.

Phantom chain simulations for fracture of star polymer networks with various strand densities
Despite many attempts, the relation between fracture and structure of polymer networks is yet to be clarified. For this problem, a recent study for phantom chain simulations [Macromolecules, 56, 9359 (2023)] has demonstrated that the fracture characteristics obtained for polymer networks with various node functionalities and conversion ratios lie on master curves if they are plotted against cycle rank. In this study, we extended the simulation to the effect of prepolymer concentration on the re…

From asymmetric simple exclusion processes with open boundaries to stationary measures of open KPZ fixed point: the shock region
We continue the investigation of limit fluctuations of stationary measures of the asymmetric simple exclusion processes with open boundaries (open ASEP), complementing the recent result by Bryc et al. (2023). It was shown therein that in the fan region of the phase diagram, an appropriate scaling limit of the height function of open ASEP converges in distribution to a stochastic process introduced by Barraquand and Le Doussal (2022), known as the stationary measure of the (conjectural) open KPZ…
