Bootstrapping smooth conformal defects in Chern-Simons-matter theories
The expectation value of a smooth conformal line defect in a CFT is a conformal invariant functional of its path in space-time. For example, in large N holographic theories, these fundamental observables are dual to the open-string partition function in Ad ...
New York2024Fully solvable finite simplex lattices with open boundaries in arbitrary dimensions
Finite simplex lattice models are used in different branches of science, e.g., in condensed-matter physics, when studying frustrated magnetic systems and non-Hermitian localization phenomena; or in chemistry, when describing experiments with mixtures. An n ...
College Pk2023Region Extraction in Mesh Intersection
Annalisa Buffa, Pablo Antolin Sanchez, Emiliano Cirillo
Region extraction is a very common task in both Computer Science and Engineering with several applications in object recognition and motion analysis, among others. Most of the literature focuses on regions delimited by straight lines, often in the special ...
2023ON THE INDEPENDENCE NUMBER OF INTERSECTION GRAPHS OF AXIS-PARALLEL SEGMENTS
We prove that for any triangle-free intersection graph of n axis-parallel line segments in the plane, the independence number alpha of this graph is at least alpha n/4+ohm(root n). We complement this with a construction of a graph in this class satisfying ...
Ottawa2023Interactions of Cavitation Bubbles with Deformable Interfaces
Cavitation is a topic that has long been of interest due to the large and growing range of applications associated with it. This is mainly because the collapse of cavitation bubbles releases a considerable amount of energy into the surrounding environment. ...
EPFL2023One possible future for Grande Dixence
Sarah Catherine Amélie Planchamp
IPCC reports stop their predictions in 2100. An abrupt line in eighty years from now. Yet infrastructure, including buildings last for longer than that: what we build now is the heritage we will have to deal with when we reach that line. As such, engineers ...
2023Revisiting the Indifferentiability of the Sum of Permutations
The sum of two n-bit pseudorandom permutations is known to behave like a pseudorandom function with n bits of security. A recent line of research has investigated the security of two public n-bit permutations and its degree of indifferentiability. Mandal e ...
Springer2023Barriers to resolution in 1H NMR of rotating solids
David Lyndon Emsley, Daria Torodii, Pinelopi Moutzouri, Bruno Simões de Almeida
The role of 1H solid-state NMR in structure elucidation of solids is becoming more preponderant, particularly as faster magic-angle spinning rates (MAS) become available which improve 1H detected assignment strategies. However, current 1H spectral resoluti ...
San Diego2023Flexural-tensegrity snapping tails for bio-inspired propulsion in fluids
Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis, Claudio Boni
Many aquatic animals propel themselves by flapping their tails. Leveraging a recently proposed snapping cantilever beam based on the concept of flexural tensegrity, we propose a bio-inspired propulsion device. The design comprises a segmental beam with hol ...
ELSEVIER2022Dynamics of cavitation bubbles near granular boundaries
Mohamed Farhat, Davide Bernardo Preso, Armand Baptiste Sieber
We study the dynamics of a cavitation bubble near beds of sand of different grain sizes. We use high-speed imaging to observe the motion of the bubble and the sand for different values of the stand-off parameter gamma (dimensionless bubble-boundary distanc ...
