Double points in families of map germs from ℝ2 to ℝ3
2020
We show that a 1-parameter family of real analytic map germs [Formula: see text] with isolated instability is topologically trivial if it is excellent and the family of double point curves [Formula: see text] in [Formula: see text] is topologically trivial. In particular, we deduce that [Formula: see text] is topologically trivial when the Milnor number [Formula: see text] is constant.
Lattice of closure endomorphisms of a Hilbert algebra
2019
A closure endomorphism of a Hilbert algebra [Formula: see text] is a mapping that is simultaneously an endomorphism of and a closure operator on [Formula: see text]. It is known that the set [Formula: see text] of all closure endomorphisms of [Formula: see text] is a distributive lattice where the meet of two elements is defined pointwise and their join is given by their composition. This lattice is shown in the paper to be isomorphic to the lattice of certain filters of [Formula: see text], anti-isomorphic to the lattice of certain closure retracts of [Formula: see text], and compactly generated. The set of compact elements of [Formula: see text] coincides with the adjoint semilattice of …
Stability conditions and related filtrations for $(G,h)$-constellations
2017
Given an infinite reductive algebraic group $G$, we consider $G$-equivariant coherent sheaves with prescribed multiplicities, called $(G,h)$-constellations, for which two stability notions arise. The first one is analogous to the $\theta$-stability defined for quiver representations by King and for $G$-constellations by Craw and Ishii, but depending on infinitely many parameters. The second one comes from Geometric Invariant Theory in the construction of a moduli space for $(G,h)$-constellations, and depends on some finite subset $D$ of the isomorphy classes of irreducible representations of $G$. We show that these two stability notions do not coincide, answering negatively a question raise…
Words with the Maximum Number of Abelian Squares
2015
An abelian square is the concatenation of two words that are anagrams of one another. A word of length n can contain \(\varTheta (n^2)\) distinct factors that are abelian squares. We study infinite words such that the number of abelian square factors of length n grows quadratically with n.
On the class of languages recognizable by 1-way quantum finite automata
2000
It is an open problem to characterize the class of languages recognized by quantum finite automata (QFA). We examine some necessary and some sufficient conditions for a (regular) language to be recognizable by a QFA. For a subclass of regular languages we get a condition which is necessary and sufficient. Also, we prove that the class of languages recognizable by a QFA is not closed under union or any other binary Boolean operation where both arguments are significant.
Bottom-quark mass from finite energy QCD sum rules
2011
Finite energy QCD sum rules involving both inverse and positive moment integration kernels are employed to determine the bottom quark mass. The result obtained in the $\bar{\text {MS}}$ scheme at a reference scale of $10\, {GeV}$ is $\bar{m}_b(10\,\text{GeV})= 3623(9)\,\text{MeV}$. This value translates into a scale invariant mass $\bar{m}_b(\bar{m}_b) = 4171 (9)\, {MeV}$. This result has the lowest total uncertainty of any method, and is less sensitive to a number of systematic uncertainties that affect other QCD sum rule determinations.
Determination of m¯b/m¯c and m¯b from nf=4 lattice QCD+QED
2021
We extend HPQCD's earlier ${n}_{f}=2+1+1$ lattice-QCD analysis of the ratio of $\overline{\mathrm{MS}}$ masses of the $b$ and $c$ quark to include results from finer lattices (down to 0.03 fm) and a new calculation of QED contributions to the mass ratio. We find that ${\overline{m}}_{b}(\ensuremath{\mu})/{\overline{m}}_{c}(\ensuremath{\mu})=4.586(12)$ at renormalization scale $\ensuremath{\mu}=3\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{GeV}$. This result is nonperturbative. Combining it with HPQCD's recent lattice $\mathrm{QCD}+\mathrm{QED}$ determination of ${\overline{m}}_{c}(3\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{GeV})$ gives a new value for the $b$-quark mass: ${\overline{m}}_{b}(3\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{GeV})=4.513(2…
Frequency-Sliding Generalized Cross-Correlation: A Sub-Band Time Delay Estimation Approach
2020
The generalized cross correlation (GCC) is regarded as the most popular approach for estimating the time difference of arrival (TDOA) between the signals received at two sensors. Time delay estimates are obtained by maximizing the GCC output, where the direct-path delay is usually observed as a prominent peak. Moreover, GCCs play also an important role in steered response power (SRP) localization algorithms, where the SRP functional can be written as an accumulation of the GCCs computed from multiple sensor pairs. Unfortunately, the accuracy of TDOA estimates is affected by multiple factors, including noise, reverberation and signal bandwidth. In this paper, a sub-band approach for time del…
A Fast Anchor Person Searching Scheme in News Sequences
2001
In this paper we address the problem of seeking anchor person shots in news sequences. This can be useful since usually this kind of scenes contain important and reusable information such as interviews. The proposed technique is based on our a priori knowledge of the editing techniques used in news sequences.
Words and Patterns
2002
In this paper some new ideas, problems and results on patterns are proposed. In particular, motivated by questions concerning avoidability, we first study the set of binary patterns that can occur in one infinite binary word, comparing it with the set of factors of the word. This suggests a classification of infinite words in terms of the "difference" between the set of its patterns and the set of its factors. The fact that each factor in an infinite word can give rise to several distinct patterns leads to study the set of patterns of a single finite word. This set, endowed with a natural order relation, defines a poset: we investigate the relationships between the structure of such a poset…
