Finitely generated infinite simple groups of homeomorphisms of the real line

Yash Lodha

We construct examples of finitely generated infinite simple groups of homeomorphisms of the real line. Equivalently, these are examples of finitely generated simple left (or right) orderable groups. This answers a well known open question of Rhemtulla from ...

Singular global components and frequency shift of the geodesic acoustic continuum modes in shaped tokamaks

Jonathan Graves

Within the ideal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) model, the geodesic acoustic modes (GAMs) in tokamaks derived by Winsor et al (1968 Phys. Fluids 11 2448) belong to the continuous spectrum, characterised by unbounded non-square integrable eigenfunctions (delta f ...

Almost tiling of the Boolean lattice with copies of a poset

Istvan Tomon

Let P be a partially ordered set. If the Boolean lattice (2[n],⊂) can be partitioned into copies of P for some positive integer n, then P must satisfy the following two trivial conditions: (1) the size of P is a power of 2, (2) P has a unique maximal and m ...

Arithmetic and geometric structures in cryptography

Benjamin Pierre Charles Wesolowski

We explore a few algebraic and geometric structures, through certain questions posed by modern cryptography. We focus on the cases of discrete logarithms in finite fields of small characteristic, the structure of isogeny graphs of ordinary abelian varietie ...

Virtual Submodule Concept for Fast Semi-Numerical Modular Multilevel Converter Loss Estimation

Drazen Dujic, Alexandre François Christe

During the design phase of a modular multilevel converter (MMC), an accurate loss evaluation of the submodule (SM) plays an important role. In this paper, a method based on the analytical description of the MMC key waveforms that allows to directly obtain ...

Colloidal nanocrystals for photoelectrochemical and photocatalytic water splitting

Raffaella Buonsanti, Anna Loiudice, Chethana Janardhana Gadiyar

Colloidal nanocrystals (NCs) are among the most modular and versatile nanomaterial platforms for studying emerging phenomena in different fields thanks to their superb compositional and morphological tunability. A promising, yet challenging, application in ...

Exponentially long orbits in Hopfield neural networks

Wulfram Gerstner, Johanni Michael Brea, Samuel Pavio Muscinelli

We show that Hopfield neural networks with synchronous dynamics and asymmetric weights admit stable orbits that form sequences of maximal length. For N units, these sequences have length T = 2^N; that is, they cover the full state space. We present a mathe ...

Coupling Ideality of Integrated Planar High-Q Microresonators

Tobias Kippenberg, Michael Wolfgang Geiselmann, Junqiu Liu, Martin Hubert Peter Pfeiffer

Chip-scale optical microresonators with integrated planar optical waveguides are useful building blocks for linear, nonlinear, and quantum-optical photonic devices alike. Loss reduction through improving fabrication processes results in several integrated ...

A Prediction-Error Covariance Estimator for Adaptive Kalman Filtering in Step-Varying Processes: Application to Power-System State Estimation

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Mario Paolone, Lorenzo Zanni

In this paper, we present a new method for the estimation of the prediction-error covariances of a Kalman filter (KF), which is suitable for step-varying processes. The method uses a series of past innovations (i.e., the difference between the upcoming mea ...

The algebra of essential relations on a finite set

Jacques Thévenaz, Serge Bouc

Let X be a finite set and let k be a commutative ring. We consider the k-algebra of the monoid of all relations on X, modulo the ideal generated by the relations factorizing through a set of cardinality strictly smaller than Card(X), called inessential rel ...
