Bootstrapping massive quantum field theories

Denis Karateev

We propose a new non-perturbative method for studying UV complete unitary quantum field theories (QFTs) with a mass gap in general number of spacetime dimensions. The method relies on unitarity formulated as positive semi-definiteness of the matrix of inne ...

Annealing and Replica-Symmetry in Deep Boltzmann Machines

Emanuele Mingione, Diego Alberici

In this paper we study the properties of the quenched pressure of a multi-layer spin-glass model (a deep Boltzmann Machine in artificial intelligence jargon) whose pairwise interactions are allowed between spins lying in adjacent layers and not inside the ...

Measurement of the CKM matrix element vertical bar V-cb vertical bar from B-0 -> D*(-)l(+)nu(l) at Belle

Olivier Schneider, Yiming Li, Mingkui Wang, Chao Wang, Tagir Aushev, Sun Hee Kim, Donghyun Kim, Lei Li

We present a new measurement of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element vertical bar V-cb vertical bar from B-0 -> D*(-)l(+)nu(l) decays, reconstructed with the full Belle data set of 711 fb(-1) integrated luminosity. Two form factor parametrizations, ...

TacTiles: Dual-Mode Low-Power Electromagnetic Actuators for Rendering Continuous Contact and Spatial Haptic Patterns in VR

Herbert Shea, Juan José Zarate, Ronan Julien Hinchet

We introduce TacTiles, light (1.8g), low-power (130 mV), and small form -factor (1cm(3)) electromagnetic actuators that can form a flexible haptic array to provide localized tactile feedback. Our novel hardware design uses a custom 8 -layer PCB, dampening ...
