Combinatorial Models in the Topological Classification of Singularities of Mappings
2018
The topological classification of finitely determined map germs \(f:(\mathbb R^n,0)\rightarrow (\mathbb R^p,0)\) is discrete (by a theorem due to R. Thom), hence we want to obtain combinatorial models which codify all the topological information of the map germ f. According to Fukuda’s work, the topology of such germs is determined by the link, which is obtained by taking the intersection of the image of f with a small enough sphere centered at the origin. If \(f^{-1}(0)=\{0\}\), then the link is a topologically stable map \(\gamma :S^{n-1}\rightarrow S^{p-1}\) (or stable if (n, p) are nice dimensions) and f is topologically equivalent to the cone of \(\gamma \). When \(f^{-1}(0)\ne \{0\}\)…
A Remark on an Overdetermined Problem in Riemannian Geometry
2016
Let (M, g) be a Riemannian manifold with a distinguished point O and assume that the geodesic distance d from O is an isoparametric function. Let \(\varOmega \subset M\) be a bounded domain, with \(O \in \varOmega \), and consider the problem \(\varDelta _p u = -1\ \mathrm{in}\ \varOmega \) with \(u=0\ \mathrm{on}\ \partial \varOmega \), where \(\varDelta _p\) is the p-Laplacian of g. We prove that if the normal derivative \(\partial _{\nu }u\) of u along the boundary of \(\varOmega \) is a function of d satisfying suitable conditions, then \(\varOmega \) must be a geodesic ball. In particular, our result applies to open balls of \(\mathbb {R}^n\) equipped with a rotationally symmetric metr…
Parabolic equations with natural growth approximated by nonlocal equations
2017
In this paper we study several aspects related with solutions of nonlocal problems whose prototype is $$ u_t =\displaystyle \int_{\mathbb{R}^N} J(x-y) \big( u(y,t) -u(x,t) \big) \mathcal G\big( u(y,t) -u(x,t) \big) dy \qquad \mbox{ in } \, \Omega \times (0,T)\,, $$ being $ u (x,t)=0 \mbox{ in } (\mathbb{R}^N\setminus \Omega )\times (0,T)\,$ and $ u(x,0)=u_0 (x) \mbox{ in } \Omega$. We take, as the most important instance, $\mathcal G (s) \sim 1+ \frac{\mu}{2} \frac{s}{1+\mu^2 s^2 }$ with $\mu\in \mathbb{R}$ as well as $u_0 \in L^1 (\Omega)$, $J$ is a smooth symmetric function with compact support and $\Omega$ is either a bounded smooth subset of $\mathbb{R}^N$, with nonlocal Dirichlet bound…
An invariant analytic orthonormalization procedure with applications
2007
We apply the orthonormalization procedure previously introduced by two of us and adopted in connection with coherent states to Gabor frames and other examples. For instance, for Gabor frames we show how to construct $g(x)\in L^2(\Bbb{R})$ in such a way the functions $g_{\underline n}(x)=e^{ian_1x}g(x+an_2)$, $\underline n\in\Bbb{Z}^2$ and $a$ some positive real number, are mutually orthogonal. We discuss in some details the role of the lattice naturally associated to the procedure in this analysis.
Measurements of the Absolute Branching Fractions of B±→K±Xcc̅
2006
We study the two-body decays of ${B}^{\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}}$ mesons to ${K}^{\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}}$ and a charmonium state ${X}_{c\overline{c}}$ in a sample of $210.5\text{ }\text{ }{\mathrm{fb}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$ of data from the BABAR experiment. We perform measurements of absolute branching fractions $\mathcal{B}({B}^{\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{K}^{\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}}{X}_{c\overline{c}})$ using a missing mass technique, and report several new or improved results. In particular, the upper limit $\mathcal{B}\mathbf{(}{B}^{\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{K}^{\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}}X(3872)\mathbf{)}l3.2\ifmmode…
Precision thrust cumulant moments atN3LL
2012
We consider cumulant moments (cumulants) of the thrust distribution using predictions of the full spectrum for thrust including O(alpha_s^3) fixed order results, resummation of singular N^3LL logarithmic contributions, and a class of leading power corrections in a renormalon-free scheme. From a global fit to the first thrust moment we extract the strong coupling and the leading power correction matrix element Omega_1. We obtain alpha_s(m_Z) = 0.1141 \pm (0.0004)_exp \pm (0.0014)_hadr \pm (0.0007)_pert, where the 1-sigma uncertainties are experimental, from hadronization (related to Omega_1) and perturbative, respectively, and Omega_1 = 0.372 \pm (0.044)_exp \pm (0.039)_pert GeV. The n-th th…

On the corner elements of the CKM and PMNS matrices
2013
Recent experiments show that the top-right corner element (U-e3) of the PMNS matrix is small but nonzero, and suggest further via unitarity that it is smaller than the bottom-left corner element (U-tau 1). Here, it is shown that if to the assumption of a universal rank-one mass matrix, long favoured by phenomenologists, one adds that this matrix rotates with scale, then it follows that A) by inputting the mass ratios m(c)/m(t), m(s)/m(b), m(mu)/m(tau), and m(2)/m(3), i) the corner elements are small but nonzero, ii) V-ub < V-td, U-e3 < U-tau 1, iii) estimates result for the ratios V-ub/V-td and U-e3/U-tau 1, and B) by inputting further the experimental values of V-us, V-tb and U-e2, U-mu 3,…
Examples for Calculating Path Integrals
2001
We now want to compute the kernel K(b, a) for a few simple Lagrangians. We have already found for the one-dimensional case that $$\displaystyle{ K{\bigl (x_{2},t_{2};x_{1},t_{1}\bigr )} =\int _{ x(t_{1})=x_{1}}^{x(t_{2})=x_{2} }[dx(t)]\,\text{e}^{(\mathrm{i}/\hslash )S} }$$ (19.1) with $$\displaystyle{ S =\int _{ t_{1}}^{t_{2} }dt\,L(x,\dot{x};t)\;. }$$ First we consider a free particle, $$\displaystyle{ L = m\dot{x}^{2}/2\;, }$$ (19.2) and represent an arbitrary path in the form, $$\displaystyle{ x(t) =\bar{ x}(t) + y(t)\;. }$$ (19.3) Here, \(\bar{x}(t)\) is the actual classical path, i.e., solution to the Euler–Lagrange equation: $$\displaystyle{ \frac{\partial L} {\partial x}\Big\vert _{…
Fluids in extreme confinement.
2012
For extremely confined fluids with two-dimensional density $n$ in slit geometry of accessible width $L$, we prove that in the limit $L\to 0$ the lateral and transversal degrees of freedom decouple, and the latter become ideal-gas-like. For small wall separation the transverse degrees of freedom can be integrated out and renormalize the interaction potential. We identify $n L^2 $ as hidden smallness parameter of the confinement problem and evaluate the effective two-body potential analytically, which allows calculating the leading correction to the free energy exactly. Explicitly, we map a fluid of hard spheres in extreme confinement onto a 2d-fluid of disks with an effective hard-core diame…
