Automatic synthesis of rulesets for programmable stochastic self-assembly of rotationally symmetric robotic modules

Alcherio Martinoli, Bahar Haghighat

Programmable stochastic self-assembly of modular robots provides promising means to formation of structures at different scales. One way to address the design of dedicated control rulesets for self-assembling robotic modules is to leverage formalisms based ...

Bipolar Lightning Flashes Observed at the Säntis Tower: Do We Need to Modify the Traditional Classification?

Mario Paolone, Marcos Rubinstein, Mohammad Azadifar, Davide Pavanello

We present and discuss current waveforms associated with 13 bipolar lightning flashes recorded at the Santis Tower during the period from June 2010 to January 2015. During this period, a total of 427 flashes were recorded, of which 13 (3%) were classified ...

The representation theory of finite sets and correspondences

Jacques Thévenaz, Serge Bouc

We investigate correspondence functors, namely the functors from the category of finite sets and correspondences to the category of k-modules, where k is a commutative ring. They have various specific properties which do not hold for other types of functor ...

Trace maps for Mackey algebras

Baptiste Thierry Pierre Rognerud

Let G be a finite group and R be a commutative ring. The Mackey algebra μR(G) shares a lot of properties with the group algebra RG however, there are some differences. For example, the group algebra is a symmetric algebra and this is not always the case fo ...

Left-induced model structures and diagram categories

Kathryn Hess Bellwald, Varvara Karpova, Magdalena Kedziorek

We prove existence results à la Jeff Smith for left-induced model category structures, of which the injective model structure on a diagram category is an important example. We further develop the notions of fibrant generation and Postnikov presentation fro ...

Decoding the Population Activity of Grid Cells for Spatial Localization and Goal-Directed Navigation

Alexander Mathis

Mammalian grid cells fire whenever an animal crosses the points of an imaginary, hexagonal grid tessellating the environment. Here, we show how animals can localize themselves and navigate by reading-out a simple population vector of grid cell activity acr ...
