BPS invariants from p-adic integrals

Dimitri Stelio Wyss, Francesca Carocci, Giulio Orecchia

We define p-adic BPS or pBPS invariants for moduli spaces M-beta,M-chi of one-dimensional sheaves on del Pezzo and K3 surfaces by means of integration over a non-archimedean local field F. Our definition relies on a canonical measure mu can on the F-analyt ...

Diagnosing weakly first-order phase transitions by coupling to order parameters

Jonathan D'Emidio

The hunt for exotic quantum phase transitions described by emergent fractionalized de-grees of freedom coupled to gauge fields requires a precise determination of the fixed point structure from the field theoretical side, and an extreme sensitivity to weak ...

Named Entity Resources - Overview and Outlook

Maud Ehrmann

Recognition of real-world entities is crucial for most NLP applications. Since its introduction some twenty years ago, named entity processing has undergone a significant evolution with, among others, the definition of new tasks (e.g. entity linking) and t ...

Roadmap on optical rogue waves and extreme events

Krassimir Panajotov, Yiqi Zhang

The pioneering paper 'Optical rogue waves' by Solli et al (2007 Nature 450 1054) started the new subfield in optics. This work launched a great deal of activity on this novel subject. As a result, the initial concept has expanded and has been enriched by n ...

Online Authenticated-Encryption and its Nonce-Reuse Misuse-Resistance

Damian Vizár, Reza Reyhanitabar

A definition of online authenticated-encryption (OAE), call it OAE1, was given by Fleischmann, Forler, and Lucks (2012). It has become a popular definitional target because, despite allowing encryption to be online, security is supposed to be maintained ev ...
