Krawtchouk polynomials and Krawtchouk matrices
Krawtchouk matrices have as entries values of the Krawtchouk polynomials for nonnegative integer arguments. We show how they arise as condensed Sylvester-Hadamard matrices via a binary shuffling function. The underlying symmetric tensor algebra is presented. Our approach is used to solve Kac' formulation of the Ehrenfe...

Exactly marginal deformations of quiver gauge theories as seen from brane tilings
We study the relation between exactly marginal deformations in a large class of N=1 superconformal quiver gauge theories described by brane tilings and the degrees of freedom in the corresponding 5-brane systems. We show, with the help of NSVZ exact beta functions, that there are generically d-1 complex exactly margina...

How continuous quantum measurements in finite dimension are actually discrete

Let $\Omega$ be a matrix with entries $a_{i,j}=\omega^{ij},$ $1\leq i,j \leq n,$ where $\omega=e^{2\pi \sqrt{-1}/n},$ $n\in \mathbb N.$ The Chebotarev theorem states that if $n$ is a prime then any minor of $\Omega$ is non-zero. In this note we provide an analogue of this statement for composite $n.$

Gauge Singlet Scalars as Cold Dark Matter
In light of recent interest in minimal extensions of the Standard Model and gauge singlet scalar cold dark matter, we provide an arXiv preprint of the paper, published as Phys.Rev. D50 (1994) 3637, which presented the first detailed analysis of gauge singlet scalar cold dark matter.

The First Survey of X-ray Flares from Gamma Ray Bursts Observed by Swift: Temporal Properties and Morphology
We present the first systematic investigation of the morphological and timing properties of flares in GRBs observed by Swift/XRT. We consider a large sample drawn from all GRBs detected by Swift, INTEGRAL and HETE-2 prior to 2006 Jan 31, which had an XRT follow-up and which showed significant flaring. Our sample of 33 ...

Invariants of algebraic curves and topological expansion
For any arbitrary algebraic curve, we define an infinite sequence of invariants. We study their properties, in particular their variation under a variation of the curve, and their modular properties. We also study their limits when the curve becomes singular. In addition we find that they can be used to define a formal...

It is possible to show, interpreting the following notions appropriately, that if a code has a large distance, then its dual has a small covering radius and, ther...

A Sequential Algorithm for Generating Random Graphs
We present a nearly-linear time algorithm for counting and randomly generating simple graphs with a given degree sequence in a certain range. For degree sequence $(d_i)_{i=1}^n$ with maximum degree $d_{\max}=O(m^{1/4-\tau})$, our algorithm generates almost uniform random graphs with that degree sequence in time $O(m\,d...

The 21cm angular-power spectrum from the dark ages
At redshifts z >~ 30 neutral hydrogen gas absorbs CMB radiation at the 21cm spin-flip frequency. In principle this is observable and a high-precision probe of cosmology. We calculate the linear-theory angular power spectrum of this signal and cross-correlation between redshifts on scales much larger than the line width...

From $\epsilon$-entropy to KL-entropy: Analysis of minimum information complexity density estimation
We consider an extension of $\epsilon$-entropy to a KL-divergence based complexity measure for randomized density estimation methods. Based on this extension, we develop a general information-theoretical inequality that measures the statistical complexity of some deterministic and randomized density estimators. Consequ...

X-ray Hardness Variations as an Internal/External Shock Diagnostic
The early, highly time-variable X-ray emission immediately following GRBs exhibits strong spectral variations that are unlike the temporally smoother emission which dominates after $t\sim 10^3$ s. The ratio of hard channel (1.3-10.0 keV) to soft channel (0.3-1.3 keV) counts in the Swift X-ray telescope provides a new m...

Risk bounds for statistical learning
We propose a general theorem providing upper bounds for the risk of an empirical risk minimizer (ERM).We essentially focus on the binary classification framework. We extend Tsybakov's analysis of the risk of an ERM under margin type conditions by using concentration inequalities for conveniently weighted empirical proc...

A Landscape Analysis of Constraint Satisfaction Problems
We discuss an analysis of Constraint Satisfaction problems, such as Sphere Packing, K-SAT and Graph Coloring, in terms of an effective energy landscape. Several intriguing geometrical properties of the solution space become in this light familiar in terms of the well-studied ones of rugged (glassy) energy landscapes. A...

Posterior consistency of Gaussian process prior for nonparametric binary regression
Consider binary observations whose response probability is an unknown smooth function of a set of covariates. Suppose that a prior on the response probability function is induced by a Gaussian process mapped to the unit interval through a link function. In this paper we study consistency of the resulting posterior dist...

Optimal adaptive estimation of a quadratic functional
Adaptive estimation of a quadratic functional over both Besov and $L_p$ balls is considered. A collection of nonquadratic estimators are developed which have useful bias and variance properties over individual Besov and $L_p$ balls. An adaptive procedure is then constructed based on penalized maximization over this col...

We consider a system of $d$ coupled non-linear stochastic heat equations in spatial dimension 1 driven by $d$-dimensional additive space-time white noise. We establish upper and lower bounds on hitting probabilities of the solution $\{u(t, x)\}_{t \in \mathbb{R}_+, x \in [0, 1]}$, in terms of respectively Hausdorff mea...

Parameter estimation for mixed states from a single copy
Given a single copy of a mixed state of the form \rho=\lambda\rho_1+(1-\lambda)\rho_2, what is the optimal measurement to estimate the parameter \lambda, if \rho_1 and \rho_2 are known? We present a general strategy to obtain the optimal measurements employing a Bayesian estimator. The measurements are chosen to minimi...

Can one estimate the conditional distribution of post-model-selection estimators?
We consider the problem of estimating the conditional distribution of a post-model-selection estimator where the conditioning is on the selected model. The notion of a post-model-selection estimator here refers to the combined procedure resulting from first selecting a model (e.g., by a model selection criterion such a...

Robust oscillations in SIS epidemics on adaptive networks: Coarse-graining by automated moment closure
We investigate the dynamics of an epidemiological susceptible-infected-susceptible (SIS) model on an adaptive network. This model combines epidemic spreading (dynamics on the network) with rewiring of network connections (topological evolution of the network). We propose and implement a computational approach that enab...

In this paper, we study the Drinfeld cusp forms for $\Gamma_1(T)$ and $\Gamma(T)$ using Teitelbaum's interpretation as harmonic cocycles. We obtain explicit eigenvalues of Hecke operators associated to degree one prime ideals acting on the cusp forms for $\Gamma_1(T)$ of small weights and conclude that these Hecke oper...

We give improved analysis for the case ...
