Title: Particlelike scattering states in a microwave cavity, Abstract: We realize scattering states in a lossy and chaotic two-dimensional microwave cavity which follow bundles of classical particle trajectories. To generate such particlelike scattering states we measure the system's transmission matrix and apply an ad...

Title: Market Self-Learning of Signals, Impact and Optimal Trading: Invisible Hand Inference with Free Energy, Abstract: We present a simple model of a non-equilibrium self-organizing market where asset prices are partially driven by investment decisions of a bounded-rational agent. The agent acts in a stochastic marke...

Title: Current-driven skyrmion dynamics in disordered films, Abstract: A theoretical study of the current-driven dynamics of magnetic skyrmions in disordered perpendicularly-magnetized ultrathin films is presented. The disorder is simulated as a granular structure in which the local anisotropy varies randomly from grai...

Title: On the Rigidity of Riemannian-Penrose Inequality for Asymptotically Flat 3-manifolds with Corners, Abstract: In this paper we prove a rigidity result for the equality case of the Penrose inequality on $3$-dimensional asymptotically flat manifolds with nonnegative scalar curvature and corners. Our result also has...

Title: An Algebra Model for the Higher Order Sum Rules, Abstract: We introduce an algebra model to study higher order sum rules for orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle. We build the relation between the algebra model and sum rules, and prove an equivalent expression on the algebra side for the sum rules, involvin...

Title: On maxispaces of nonparametric tests, Abstract: For the problems of nonparametric hypothesis testing we introduce the notion of maxisets and maxispace. We point out the maxisets of $\chi^2-$tests, Cramer-von Mises tests, tests generated $\mathbb{L}_2$- norms of kernel estimators and tests generated quadratic for...

Title: Learning Unsupervised Learning Rules, Abstract: A major goal of unsupervised learning is to discover data representations that are useful for subsequent tasks, without access to supervised labels during training. Typically, this goal is approached by minimizing a surrogate objective, such as the negative log lik...

Title: Conformal Nanocarbon Coating of Alumina Nanocrystals for Biosensing and Bioimaging, Abstract: A conformal coating technique with nanocarbon was developed to enhance the surface properties of alumina nanoparticles for bio-applications. The ultra-thin carbon layer induces new surface properties such as water dispe...

Title: Characterizing spectral continuity in SDSS u'g'r'i'z' asteroid photometry, Abstract: Context. The 4th release of the SDSS Moving Object Catalog (SDSSMOC) is presently the largest photometric dataset of asteroids. Up to this point, the release of large asteroid datasets has always been followed by a redefinition ...
