Relative plus constructions

Let h be a connective homology theory. We construct a functorial relative plus construction as a Bousfield localization functor in the category of maps of spaces. It allows us to associate to a pair (X,H), consisting of a connected space X and an hperfect ...

Bed for One: A Queer Interpretation of the Rooming House

Constantinos Marcou

Understanding the historical and overlapping complexities related to the queer subject, the single bed, and the emergence of the rooming house, helps frame larger theoretical questions about the neglected, yet contradicting by nature, category of queer dom ...

Density-wave ordering in a unitary Fermi gas with photon-mediated interactions

Jean-Philippe Brantut, Timo Zwettler, Victor Youri Helson, Kevin Etienne Robert Roux, Hideki Konishi, Elvia Colella

A density wave (DW) is a fundamental type of long-range order in quantum matter tied to self-organization into a crystalline structure. The interplay of DW order with superfluidity can lead to complex scenarios that pose a great challenge to theoretical an ...

A Functional Perspective on Information Measures

Amedeo Roberto Esposito

Since the birth of Information Theory, researchers have defined and exploited various information measures, as well as endowed them with operational meanings. Some were born as a "solution to a problem", like Shannon's Entropy and Mutual Information. Other ...

An Equivalence Between Data Poisoning and Byzantine Gradient Attacks

Rachid Guerraoui, Sadegh Farhadkhani, Oscar Jean Olivier Villemaud, Le Nguyen Hoang

To study the resilience of distributed learning, the “Byzantine" literature considers a strong threat model where workers can report arbitrary gradients to the parameter server. Whereas this model helped obtain several fundamental results, it has sometimes ...

Protected generation of dissipative Kerr solitons in supermodes of coupled optical microresonators

Tobias Kippenberg, Rui Ning Wang, Mikhail Churaev, Xinru Ji, Aleksandr Tusnin, Kenichi Komagata, Junqiu Liu, Alexey Tikan

A photonic dimer composed of two evanescently coupled high-Q microresonators is a fundamental element of multimode soliton lattices. It has demonstrated a variety of emergent nonlinear phenomena, including supermode soliton generation and soliton hopping. ...

Recent progress in silk fibroin-based flexible electronics

Jürgen Brugger, Xiao Sheng Zhang, Ya Wang, Peng Huang

With the rapid development of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the emergence of 5G, traditional silicon-based electronics no longer fully meet market demands such as nonplanar application scenarios due to mechanical mismatch. This provides unprecedented op ...

Structural transitions and mechanochemical coupling in the nucleoprotein filament explain homology selectivity and Rad51 protein cooperativity in cellular DNA repair

Daniel Migliozzi

The nucleoprotein filament (NPF) is the fundamental element of homologous recombination (HR), a major mechanism for the repair of double-strand DNA breaks in the cell. The NPF is made of the damaged DNA strand surrounded by recombinase proteins, and its se ...

Electrosorption at metal surfaces from first principles

Nicola Marzari

Electrosorption of solvated species at metal electrodes is a most fundamental class of processes in interfacial electrochemistry. Here, we use its sensitive dependence on the electric double layer to assess the performance of ab initio thermodynamics appro ...

Learning the Globally Optimal Distributed LQ Regulator

Maryam Kamgarpour, Luca Furieri

We study model-free learning methods for the output-feedback Linear Quadratic (LQ) control problem in finite-horizon subject to subspace constraints on the control policy. Subspace constraints naturally arise in the field of distributed control and present ...
