The statistical mechanics of networks
We study the family of network models derived by requiring the expected properties of a graph ensemble to match a given set of measurements of a real-world network, while maximizing the entropy of the ensemble. Models of this type play the same role in the study of networks as is played by the Boltzmann distribution in...

Dust-reddening and gravitational lensing of SDSS QSOs due to foreground damped Lyman-alpha systems
We use Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 2 QSO spectra to constrain the dust-reddening caused by intervening damped Lyman-alpha systems (DLAs). Comparing the spectral index distribution of a 70 sight-line DLA sample with that of a large control sample reveals no evidence for dust-reddening at z~3. Our limit on the ...

Locality in Quantum and Markov Dynamics on Lattices and Networks
We consider gapped systems governed by either quantum or Markov dynamics, with the low-lying states below the gap being approximately degenerate. For a broad class of dynamics, we prove that ground or stationary state correlation functions can be written as a piece decaying exponentially in space plus a term set by mat...

Scalable Percolation Search in Power Law Networks
We introduce a scalable searching algorithm for finding nodes and contents in random networks with Power-Law (PL) and heavy-tailed degree distributions. The network is searched using a probabilistic broadcast algorithm, where a query message is relayed on each edge with probability just above the bond percolation thres...

Curved Hexagonal Packings of Equal Disks in a Circle
For each k >= 1 and corresponding hexagonal number h(k) = 3k(k+1)+1, we introduce m(k) = max[(k-1)!/ 2, 1] packings of h(k) equal disks inside a circle which we call "the curved hexagonal packings".

A logarithmic-depth quantum carry-lookahead adder
We present an efficient addition circuit, borrowing techniques from the classical carry-lookahead arithmetic circuit. Our quantum carry-lookahead (QCLA) adder accepts two n-bit numbers and adds them in O(log n) depth using O(n) ancillary qubits. We present both in-place and out-of-place versions, as well as versions th...

Mixed-state dynamics in one-dimensional quantum lattice systems: a time-dependent superoperator renormalization algorithm
We present an algorithm to study mixed-state dynamics in one-dimensional quantum lattice systems. The algorithm can be used, e.g., to construct thermal states or to simulate real time evolutions given by a generic master equation. Its two main ingredients are (i) a superoperator renormalization scheme to efficiently de...

New measurement on photon yields from air and the application to the energy estimation of primary cosmic rays
The air fluorescence technique is used to detect ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECR), and to estimate their energy. Of fundamental importance is the photon yield due to excitation by electrons, in air of various densities and temperatures. After our previous report, the experiment has been continued using a Sr90 $\be...

Can giant planets form by direct gravitational instability?
Gravitational instability has been invoked as a possible mechanism of giant planet formation in protoplanetary disks. Here we critically revise its viability by noting that for the direct production of giant planets it is not enough for protoplanetary disks to be gravitationally unstable. They must also be able to cool...

The statistical mechanics of complex signaling networks : nerve growth factor signaling
It is becoming increasingly appreciated that the signal transduction systems used by eukaryotic cells to achieve a variety of essential responses represent highly complex networks rather than simple linear pathways. While significant effort is being made to experimentally measure the rate constants for individual steps...

Observing Conditions at Mt.Graham: VATT UBVR Sky Surface Brightness and Seeing Measurements from 1999 through 2003
We present measurements of sky surface brightness and seeing on Mt.Graham obtained at the Vatican Advanced Technology Telescope (VATT) during 16 observing runs between April 1999 and December 2003. We show that the sky surface brightness is significantly darker during photometric conditions, and can be highly variable ...

The laplacian of a graph as a density matrix: a basic combinatorial approach to separability of mixed states
We study entanglement properties of mixed density matrices obtained from combinatorial Laplacians. This is done by introducing the notion of the density matrix of a graph. We characterize the graphs with pure density matrices and show that the density matrix of a graph can be always written as a uniform mixture of pure...

Dealing with systematics in cosmic shear studies: new results from the VIRMOS-Descart Survey
We present a reanalysis of the VIRMOS-Descart weak lensing data, with a particular focus on different corrections for the variation of the point spread function anisotropy (PSF) across the CCDs. We show that the small scale systematics can be minimised, and eventually suppressed, using the B mode (curled shear componen...

Online Searching with Turn Cost
We consider the problem of searching for an object on a line at an unknown distance OPT from the original position of the searcher, in the presence of a cost of d for each time the searcher changes direction. This is a generalization of the well-studied linear-search problem. We describe a strategy that is guaranteed t...

Black hole-black string phase transitions in thermal 1+1-dimensional supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory on a circle
We review and extend earlier work that uses the AdS/CFT correspondence to relate the black hole-black string transition of gravitational theories on a circle to a phase transition in maximally supersymmetric 1+1-dimensional SU(N) gauge theories at large N, again compactified on a circle. We perform gravity calculations...

Nonconcave penalized likelihood with a diverging number of parameters
A class of variable selection procedures for parametric models via nonconcave penalized likelihood was proposed by Fan and Li to simultaneously estimate parameters and select important variables. They demonstrated that this class of procedures has an oracle property when the number of parameters is finite. However, in ...

On the Computational Complexity of the Forcing Chromatic Number
We consider vertex colorings of graphs in which adjacent vertices have distinct colors. A graph is $s$-chromatic if it is colorable in $s$ colors and any coloring of it uses at least $s$ colors. The forcing chromatic number $F(G)$ of an $s$-chromatic graph $G$ is the smallest number of vertices which must be colored so...
