The Essence of Constraint Propagation
We show that several constraint propagation algorithms (also called (local) consistency, consistency enforcing, Waltz, filtering or narrowing algorithms) are instances of algorithms that deal with chaotic iteration. To this end we propose a simple abstract framework that allows us to classify and compare these algorith...

Non-linear operations in quantum information theory
Quantum information theory is used to analize various non-linear operations on quantum states. The universal disentanglement machine is shown to be impossible, and partial (negative) results are obtained in the state-dependent case. The efficiency of the transformation of non-orthogonal states into orthogonal ones is d...

A Gallavotti-Cohen Type Symmetry in the Large Deviation Functional for Stochastic Dynamics

These include jump processes describing the evolution of stochastic lattice gases driven in the bulk or through particle reservoirs, general diffusive...

Branes for Higgs phases and exact conformal field theories
We consider multicenter supergravity solutions corresponding to Higgs phases of supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories with Z_N symmetric vacua. In certain energy regimes, we find a description in terms of a generalized wormhole solution that corresponds to the SL(2,R)/U(1) \times SU(2)/U(1) exact conformal field theory. W...

Search for High Mass Photon Pairs in p-pbar --> gamma-gamma-jet-jet Events at sqrt(s)=1.8 TeV
A search has been carried out for events in the channel p-barp --> gamma gamma jet jet. Such a signature can characterize the production of a non-standard Higgs boson together with a W or Z boson. We refer to this non-standard Higgs, having standard model couplings to vector bosons but no coupling to fermions, as a "bo...

It has an exact spherically-symmetric static solution, that yields to the Yilmaz-Rosen metric. This metric is very close to the Schwarzchild...

Multi-frequency, high resolution, full sky measurements of the anisotropy in both temperature and polarisation of the cosmic microwave background radiation are the goals of the satellite missions MAP (NASA) and Planck (ESA). The ultimate data products of these missions - multiple microwave sky maps, each of which will ...

Three-dimensional quantum geometry and black holes
We review some aspects of three-dimensional quantum gravity with emphasis in the `CFT -> Geometry' map that follows from the Brown-Henneaux conformal algebra. The general solution to the classical equations of motion with anti-de Sitter boundary conditions is displayed. This solution is parametrized by two functions wh...

The Entropy Production Fluctuation Theorem and the Nonequilibrium Work Relation for Free Energy Differences
There are only a very few known relations in statistical dynamics that are valid for systems driven arbitrarily far-from-equilibrium. One of these is the fluctuation theorem, which places conditions on the entropy production probability distribution of nonequilibrium systems. Another recently discovered far-from-equili...

Front dynamics during diffusion-limited corrosion of ramified electrodeposits
Experiments on the diffusion-limited corrosion of porous copper clusters in thin gap cells containing cupric chloride are reported. By carefully comparing corrosion front velocities and concentration profiles obtained by phase-shift interferometry with theoretical predictions, it is demonstrated that this process is we...

GRB990123, The Optical Flash and The Fireball Model
We compare the ongoing observations of the remarkable burst GRB990123, the mother of all bursts, with the predictions of the afterglow theory. We show that the observations agree with the recent prediction that a reverse shock propagating into the ejecta would produce a very strong prompt optical flash. This reverse sh...

Lyapunov Characterizations of Input to Output Stability
This paper presents necessary and sufficient characterizations of several notions of input to output stability. Similar Lyapunov characterizations have been found to play a key role in the analysis of the input to state stability property, and the results given here extend their validity to the case when the output, bu...

Notions of Input to Output Stability
This paper deals with several related notions of output stability with respect to inputs. The inputs may be thought of as disturbances; when there are no inputs, one obtains generalizations of the classical concepts of partial stability. The main notion studied is called input to output stability (IOS), and it reduces ...

Further results on controllability of recurrent neural networks
This paper studies controllability properties of recurrent neural networks. The new contributions are: (1) an extension of the result in the previous paper "Complete controllability of continuous-time recurrent neural networks" (Sontag and Sussmann) to a slightly different model, where inputs appear in an affine form, ...

Quantum Creep in Y_{1-x}Pr_{x}Ba_{2}Cu_{3}O_{7}$ Crystals: Magnetic Relaxation and Transport
We report transport and magnetic relaxation measurements in the mixed state of strongly underdoped Y_{1-x}Pr_{x}Ba_{2}Cu_{3}O_{7} crystals. A transition from thermally activated flux creep to temperature independent quantum flux creep is observed in both transport and magnetic relaxation at temperatures T * 5 K. Flux t...

We present a simulation of the spatial, luminosity and spectral distributions of four types of stellar objects. We simulate: (1) Galactic stars, based on a Galactic structure model, a stellar population synthesis model, stellar isochrones, and stellar spectral libraries; (2) white dwarfs, based on model atmospheres, th...

We present VLBA observations at 0.33 and 0.61 GHz, and VLA observations between 5 and 22 GHz, of subkiloparsec scale radio emission from Mrk 231. In addition to jet components clearly associated with the AGN, we also find a smooth extended component of size 100 - 1000 pc most probably related to the purported massive s...
