On Cox rings of K3-surfaces. (arXiv:0901.0369v1 [math.AG]) - We study Cox rings of K3-surfaces. A first result is that a K3-surface has a
finitely generated Cox ring if and only if its effective cone is polyhedral.
Moreover, we investigate degrees of generators and relations for Cox rings of
K3-surfaces of Picard number two, and explicitly compute the Cox rings of
generic K3-surfaces admitting a non-symplectic involution and have Picard
number 2 to 5 or occur as double covers of del Pezzo surfaces.

New inductive constructions of complete caps in $PG(N,q)$, $q$ even. (arXiv:0901.0367v1 [math.CO]) - Some new families of small complete caps in $PG(N,q)$, $q$ even, are
described. By using inductive arguments, the problem of the construction of
small complete caps in projective spaces of arbitrary dimensions is reduced to
the same problem in the plane. The caps constructed in this paper provide an
improvement on the currently known upper bounds on the size of the smallest
complete cap in $PG(N,q),$ $N\geq 4,$ for all $q\geq 2^{3}.$ In particular,
substantial improvements are obtained for infinite values of $q$ square,
including $ q=2^{2Cm},$ $C\geq 5,$ $m\geq 3;$ for $q=2^{Cm},$ $C\geq 5,$ $m\geq
9,$ with $C,m$ odd; and for all $q\leq 2^{18}.$

Riemann-Stieltjes operators and multipliers on $Q_p$ spaces in the unit ball of $C^n$. (arXiv:0901.0366v1 [math.CV]) - This paper is devoted to characterizing the Riemann-Stieltjes operators and

Convexity properties of generalized moment maps. (arXiv:0901.0361v1 [math.DG]) - In this paper, we consider generalized moment maps for Hamiltonian actions on
$H$-twisted generalized complex manifolds introduced by Lin and Tolman
\cite{Lin}. The main purpose of this paper is to show convexity and
connectedness properties for generalized moment maps. We study Hamiltonian
torus actions on compact $H$-twisted generalized complex manifolds and prove
that all components of the generalized moment map are Bott-Morse functions.
Based on this, we shall show that the generalized moment maps have a convex
image and connected fibers. Furthermore, by applying the arguments of Lerman,
Meinrenken, Tolman, and Woodward \cite{Ler2} we extend our results to the case
of Hamiltonian actions of general compact Lie groups on $H$-twisted generalized
complex orbifolds.

Information, Divergence and Risk for Binary Experiments. (arXiv:0901.0356v1 [stat.ML]) - We unify f-divergences, Bregman divergences, surrogate loss bounds (regret
bounds), proper scoring rules, matching losses, cost curves, ROC-curves and
information. We do this by systematically studying integral and variational
representations of these objects and in so doing identify their primitives
which all are related to cost-sensitive binary classification. As well as
clarifying relationships between generative and discriminative views of
learning, the new machinery leads to tight and more general surrogate loss
bounds and generalised Pinsker inequalities relating f-divergences to
variational divergence. The new viewpoint illuminates existing algorithms: it
provides a new derivation of Support Vector Machines in terms of divergences
and relates Maximum Mean Discrepancy to Fisher Linear Discriminants. It also
suggests new techniques for estimating f-divergences.

A $C^0$-estimate for the parabolic Monge-Amp\`{e}re equation on complete non-compact K\"ahler manifolds. (arXiv:0901.0374v1 [math.DG]) - In this article we study the K\"ahler Ricci flow, the corresponding parabolic
Monge Amp\`{e}re equation and complete non-compact K\"ahler Ricci flat
manifolds. In our main result Theorem \ref{mainthm} we prove that if $(M, g)$
is sufficiently close to being K\"ahler Ricci flat in a suitable sense, then
the K\"ahler Ricci flow \eqref{KRF} has a long time smooth solution $g(t)$
converging smoothly uniformly on compact sets to a complete K\"ahler Ricci flat
metric on $M$. The main step is to obtain a uniform $C^0$-estimates for the
corresponding parabolic Monge Amp\`{e}re equation. Our results on this can be
viewed as a parabolic version of the main results in \cite{TY3} on the elliptic
Monge Amp\`{e}re equation.

Compressible flows with a density-dependent viscosity coefficient. (arXiv:0901.0352v1 [math.AP]) - We prove the global existence of weak solutions for the 2-D compressible

($\lambda=\lambda(\rho)$). Initial data and solutions are small in energy-norm
with nonnegative densities having arbitrarily large sup-norm. Then, we show
that if there is a vacuum domain at the initial time, then the vacuum domain
will retain for all time, and vanishes as time goes to infinity. At last, we
show that the condition of $\mu=$constant will induce a singularity of the
system at vacuum. Thus, the viscosity coefficient $\mu$ plays a key role in the
Navier-Stokes equations.

Namely, we prove that $\norm{\mathcal{S}}_{L^p(\R^n;\Lambda)\to

extending the recent Nazarov--Volberg estimates to higher dimensions. The

Convolution symmetries of integrable hierarchies, matrix models and $\tau$-functions. (arXiv:0901.0323v1 [math-ph]) - Generalized convolution symmetries of integrable hierarchies of KP-Toda and
2KP-Toda type have the effect of multiplying the Fourier coefficients of the
Baker-Akhiezer function by a specified sequence of constants. The induced
action on the associated fermionic Fock space is diagonal in the standard
orthonormal base determined by occupation sites and labeled by partitions. The
coefficients in the single and double Schur function expansions of the
associated $\tau$-functions, which are the Pl\"ucker coordinates of a
decomposable element, are multiplied by the corresponding diagonal factors.
Applying such transformations to matrix integrals, we obtain new matrix models
of externally coupled type which are also KP-Toda or 2KP-Toda $\tau$-functions.
More general multiple integral representations of tau functions are similarly
obtained, as well as finite determinantal expressions for them.

associated to any Lie algebroid $A$. We then show that this Weil algebra is
related to the Bott-Shulman complex (computing the cohomology of the
classifying space) via a Van Est map and we prove a Van Est isomorphism
theorem. As an application, we generalize and give a simpler more conceptual
proof of the main result of Bursztyn et.al. on the integration of Poisson and
Dirac structures and of the reconstruction of connection 1-forms on
prequantizations (Weinstein-Xu, Crainic).

Approximate Parametrization of Plane Algebraic Curves by Linear Systems of Curves. (arXiv:0901.0320v1 [math.AG]) - It is well known that an irreducible algebraic curve is rational (i.e.
parametric) if and only if its genus is zero. In this paper, given a tolerance
$\epsilon>0$ and an $\epsilon$-irreducible algebraic affine plane curve
$\mathcal C$ of proper degree $d$, we introduce the notion of
$\epsilon$-rationality, and we provide an algorithm to parametrize
approximately affine $\epsilon$-rational plane curves, without exact
singularities at infinity, by means of linear systems of $(d-2)$-degree curves.
The algorithm outputs a rational parametrization of a rational curve
$\bar{\mathcal C}$ of degree at most $d$ which has the same points at infinity
as $\mathcal C$. Moreover, although we do not provide a theoretical analysis,
our empirical analysis shows that $\bar{\mathcal C}$ and $\mathcal C$ are close
in practice.

Representations up to homotopy of Lie algebroids. (arXiv:0901.0319v1 [math.DG]) - This is the first in a series of papers devoted to the study of the
cohomology of classifying spaces. The aim of this paper is to introduce and
study the notion of representation up to homotopy and to make sense of the
adjoint representation of a Lie algebroid. Our construction is inspired by
Quillen's notion of superconnection and fits into the general theory of
structures up to homotopy. The advantage of considering such representations is
that they are flexible and general enough to contain interesting examples which
are the correct generalization of the corresponding notions for Lie algebras.
They also allow one to identify seemingly ad-hoc constructions and cohomology
theories as instances of the cohomology with coefficients in representations
(up to homotopy). In particular, we show that the adjoint representation of a
Lie algebroid makes sense as a representation up to homotopy and that, similar
to the case of Lie algebras, the resulting cohomology controls the deformations

organizational information. We identify three basic high level abstractions in
initial proposal for this framework viz., information, computation, and
communication. We present an analysis of two important notions of information,
namely, Shannon's Entropy and Algorithmic Information, and discuss inductive
and deductive approaches for defining the framework.

Invisible Parts of Attractors. (arXiv:0901.0316v1 [math.DS]) - This paper deals with the attractors of generic dynamical systems. We
introduce the notion of epsilon-invisible set, which is an open set in which
almost all orbits spend on average a fraction of time no greater than epsilon.
For extraordinarily small values of epsilon (say, smaller than 2^{-100}), these
are areas of the phase space which an observer virtually never sees when
following a generic orbit.
We construct an open set in the space of all dynamical systems which have an
epsilon-invisible set that includes parts of attractors of size comparable to
the entire attractor of the system, for extraordinarily small values of
epsilon. The open set consists of C^1 perturbations of a particular skew
product over the Smale-Williams solenoid. Thus for all such perturbations, a
sizable portion of the attractor is almost never visited by generic orbits and
practically never seen by the observer.

Levantamiento de Wagner de una Metrica de Riemann al Haz de Marcos Ortonormales. (arXiv:0901.0326v1 [math.DG]) - In the present work we construct a lift of a metric $g$ on a 2-dimensional

a metric defined on a non-holonomic distribution to its prolongation via the
Lie brackets. We apply the Wagner construction to the specific case when the
distribution is the infinitesimal connection in the orthonormal frame bundle
which corresponds to a Levi-Civita connection. We find relations between the
geometry of the Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ and of the total space $(P,G)$ of
the orthonormal frame bundle endowed with the lifted metric.

Azumaya structure on D-branes and resolution of ADE orbifold singularities revisited: Douglas-Moore vs. Polchinski-Grothendieck. (arXiv:0901.0342v1 [math.AG]) - In this continuation of [L-Y1] and [L-L-S-Y], we explain how the Azumaya

this project that Azumaya-type structure on D-branes themselves -- stated as
the Polchinski-Grothendieck Ansatz in [L-Y1] -- gives a mathematical reason for
many originally-open-string-induced properties of D-branes.

The Causal Perturbation Expansion Revisited: Rescaling the Interacting Dirac Sea. (arXiv:0901.0334v1 [math-ph]) - The causal perturbation expansion defines the Dirac sea in the presence of a
time-dependent external field. It yields an operator whose image generalizes
the vacuum solutions of negative energy and thus gives a canonical splitting of
the solution space into two subspaces. After giving a self-contained
introduction to the ideas and techniques, we show that this operator is in
general not idempotent. We modify the standard construction by a rescaling
procedure giving a projector on the generalized negative-energy subspace. The
resulting rescaled causal perturbation expansion uniquely defines the fermionic
projector in terms of a series of distributional solutions of the Dirac
equation. The technical core of the paper is to work out the combinatorics of
the expansion in detail. It is also shown that the fermionic projector with
interaction can be obtained from the free projector by a unitary
transformation. We finally analyze the consequences of the rescaling procedure
on the light-con...

The phase transition of the quantum Ising model is sharp. (arXiv:0901.0328v1 [math-ph]) - An analysis is presented of the phase transition of the quantum Ising model
with transverse field on the d-dimensional hypercubic lattice. It is shown that
there is a unique sharp transition. The value of the critical point is
calculated rigorously in one dimension. The first step is to express the
quantum Ising model in terms of a (continuous) classical Ising model in d+1
dimensions. A so-called `random-parity' representation is developed for the
latter model, similar to the random-current representation for the classical
Ising model on a discrete lattice. Certain differential inequalities are
proved. Integration of these inequalities yields the sharpness of the phase
transition, and also a number of other facts concerning the critical and
near-critical behaviour of the model under study.

On a new method for controlling exponential processes. (arXiv:0901.0327v1 [math.NA]) - Unlike the classical polynomial case there has not been invented up to very

this analog retains all basic properties of the classical Bernstein

operator" which has been introduced. We also fix our attention upon some
special type of exponential polynomials which are particularly important for
the further development of theory of representation of Multivariate data.

particular, the existence of globally smooth, classical solutions of these

is the fact that the global C^2 estimate contained in this paper makes no use

Linear Transformations and Restricted Isometry Property. (arXiv:0901.0541v1 [cs.IT]) - The Restricted Isometry Property (RIP) introduced by Cand\'es and Tao is a
fundamental property in compressed sensing theory. It says that if a sampling
matrix satisfies the RIP of certain order proportional to the sparsity of the
signal, then the original signal can be reconstructed even if the sampling
matrix provides a sample vector which is much smaller in size than the original
signal. This short note addresses the problem of how a linear transformation
will affect the RIP. This problem arises from the consideration of extending
the sensing matrix and the use of compressed sensing in different bases. As an
application, the result is applied to the redundant dictionary setting in
compressed sensing.

Critical mass phenomenon for a chemotaxis kinetic model with spherically symmetric initial data. (arXiv:0901.0503v1 [math.AP]) - The goal of this paper is to exhibit a critical mass phenomenon occuring in a
model for cell self-organization via chemotaxis. The very well known dichotomy
arising in the behavior of the macroscopic Keller-Segel system is derived at
the kinetic level, being closer to microscopic features. Indeed, under the
assumption of spherical symmetry, we prove that solutions with initial data of
large mass blow-up in finite time, whereas solutions with initial data of small
mass do not. Blow-up is the consequence of a virial identity and the existence
part is derived from a comparison argument. Spherical symmetry is crucial
within the two approaches. We also briefly investigate the drift-diffusion
limit of such a kinetic model. We recover partially at the limit the
Keller-Segel criterion for blow-up, thus arguing in favour of a global link
between the two models.

Transmission Capacities for Overlaid Wireless Ad Hoc Networks with Outage Constraints. (arXiv:0901.0492v1 [cs.IT]) - We study the transmission capacities of two coexisting wireless networks (a
primary network vs. a secondary network) that operate in the same geographic
region and share the same spectrum. We define transmission capacity as the
product among the density of transmissions, the transmission rate, and the
successful transmission probability (1 minus the outage probability). The
primary (PR) network has a higher priority to access the spectrum without
particular considerations for the secondary (SR) network, where the SR network
limits its interference to the PR network by carefully controlling the density
of its transmitters. Assuming that the nodes are distributed according to
Poisson point processes and the two networks use different transmission ranges,
we quantify the transmission capacities for both of these two networks and
discuss their tradeoff based on asymptotic analyses. Our results show that if
the PR network permits a small increase of its outage probability, the sum

Product Structures for Legendrian Contact Homology. (arXiv:0901.0490v1 [math.SG]) - Legendrian contact homology (LCH) and its associated differential graded
algebra are powerful non-classical invariants of Legendrian knots.
Linearization makes the LCH computationally tractable at the expense of
discarding nonlinear (and noncommutative) information. To recover some of the
nonlinear information while preserving computability, we introduce invariant
cup and Massey products - and, more generally, an A_\infty structure - on the
linearized LCH. We apply the products and A_\infty structure in three ways: to
find infinite families of Legendrian knots that are not isotopic to their
Legendrian mirrors, to reinterpret the duality theorem of the fourth author in
terms of the cup product, and to recover higher-order linearizations of the
LCH.

A Law of Likelihood for Composite Hypotheses. (arXiv:0901.0463v1 [math.ST]) - The law of likelihood underlies a general framework, known as the likelihood
paradigm, for representing and interpreting statistical evidence. As stated,
the law applies only to simple hypotheses, and there have been reservations
about extending the law to composite hypotheses, despite their tremendous
relevance in statistical applications. This paper proposes a generalization of
the law of likelihood for composite hypotheses. The generalized law is
developed in an axiomatic fashion, illustrated with real examples, and examined
in an asymptotic analysis. Previous concerns about including composite
hypotheses in the likelihood paradigm are discussed in light of the new
developments. The generalized law of likelihood is compared with other
likelihood-based methods and its practical implications are noted. Lastly, a
discussion is given on how to use the generalized law to interpret published
results of hypothesis tests as reduced data when the full data are not

Likelihood Inference in Exponential Families and Directions of Recession. (arXiv:0901.0455v1 [math.ST]) - When in a full exponential family the maximum likelihood estimate (MLE) does
not exist, the MLE may exist in the Barndorff-Nielsen completion of the family.
We propose a practical algorithm for finding the MLE in the completion based on
repeated linear programming using the R contributed package rcdd and illustrate
it with two generalized linear model examples. When the MLE for the null
hypothesis lies in the completion, likelihood ratio tests of model comparison
are almost unchanged from the usual case. Only the degrees of freedom need to
be adjusted. When the MLE lies in the completion, confidence intervals are
changed much more from the usual case. The MLE of the natural parameter can be
thought of as having gone to infinity in a certain direction, which we call a
generic direction of recession. We propose a new one-sided confidence interval
which says how close to infinity the natural parameter may be. This maps to
one-sided confidence intervals for mean values showing how close...

variables, and f is a smooth and strictly positive function of n variables,
with a minimum in 0. In the case where f tends to infinity at infinity, we give
the semi-classical asymptotic behaviour of the number of eigenvalues less...

Polarization Codes: Characterization of Exponent, Bounds, and Constructions. (arXiv:0901.0536v1 [cs.IT]) - Polarization codes were recently introduced by Ar\i kan. They achieve the
capacity of arbitrary symmetric binary-input discrete memoryless channels (and
even extensions thereof) under a low complexity successive decoding strategy.
The original polar code construction is closely related to the recursive
construction of Reed-Muller codes and is based on the $2 \times 2$ matrix
$\bigl[ 1 &0 1& 1 \bigr]$. It was shown by Ar\i kan and Telatar that this
construction achieves an error exponent of $\frac12$, i.e., that for
sufficiently large blocklengths the error probability decays exponentially in
the square root of the length. It was already mentioned by Ar\i kan that in
principle larger matrices can be used to construct polar codes. A fundamental
question then is to see whether there exist matrices with exponent exceeding
$\frac12$. We first show that any $\ell \times \ell$ matrix none of whose
column permutations is upper triangular polarizes symmetric channels. We then
charact...

On a geometric black hole of a compact manifold. (arXiv:0901.0528v1 [math.GT]) - Using a smooth triangulation and a Riemannian metric on a compact, connected,
closed manifold M of dimension n we have got that every such M can be
represented as a union of a n-dimensional cell and a connected union K of some
subsimplexes of the triangulation. A sufficiently small closed neighborhood of
K is called a geometric black hole. Any smooth tensor field T (or other
structure) can be deformed into a continuous and sectionally smooth tensor
field T1 where T1 has a very simple construction out of the black hole.

On Multipath Fading Channels at High SNR. (arXiv:0901.0521v1 [cs.IT]) - This work studies the capacity of multipath fading channels. A noncoherent
channel model is considered, where neither the transmitter nor the receiver is
cognizant of the realization of the path gains, but both are cognizant of their
statistics. It is shown that if the delay spread is large in the sense that the
variances of the path gains decay exponentially or slower, then capacity is
bounded in the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). For such channels, capacity does
not tend to infinity as the SNR tends to infinity. In contrast, if the
variances of the path gains decay faster than exponentially, then capacity is
unbounded in the SNR. It is further demonstrated that if the number of paths is
finite, then at high SNR capacity grows double-logarithmically with the SNR,
and the capacity pre-loglog, defined as the limiting ratio of capacity to
log(log(SNR)) as SNR tends to infinity, is 1 irrespective of the number of
paths.

Kashiwara and Zelevinsky involutions in affine type A. (arXiv:0901.0443v1 [math.RT]) - We first describe how the Kashiwara involution on crystals of affine type $A$

simple relation between this involution and the Zelevinsky involution on the
set of simple modules for the affine Hecke algebras. We then give efficient
procedures for computing these involutions. Remarkably, these procedures do not
use the underlying crystal structure. They also permit to match explicitly the
Ginzburg and Ariki parametrizations of the simple modules associated to affine
and cyclotomic Hecke algebras, respectively .

Non-vanishing theorem for log canonical pairs. (arXiv:0901.0409v1 [math.AG]) - We obtain a correct generalization of Shokurov's non-vanishing theorem for

Ambro's theory of quasi-log varieties. Our proof is very similar to the

The Tau Constant of A Metrized Graph and Its Behavior Under Graph Operations. (arXiv:0901.0407v1 [math.CO]) - This paper concerns the tau constant, which is an important invariant of a

We give several formulas for the tau constant, and show how it changes under
graph operations including deletion of an edge, contraction of an edge, union
of graphs along one or two points. We show how the tau constant changes when
edges of a graph are replaced by arbitrary graphs. We prove Rumely and Baker's

Deformations of canonical pairs and Fano varieties. (arXiv:0901.0389v1 [math.AG]) - This paper is devoted to the study of various aspects of deformations of log
pairs, especially in connection to questions related to the invariance of
singularities and log plurigenera. In particular, using recent results from the
minimal model program, we obtain an extension theorem for adjoint divisors in
the spirit of Siu and Kawamata and more recent works of Hacon and McKernan. Our
main motivation however comes from the study of deformations of Fano varieties.
Our first application regards the behavior of Mori chamber decompositions in
families of Fano varieties. We expect that, in the case of mild singularities,
such decomposition is rigid under deformation; we prove that this is the case
for low dimensional varieties and, in all dimensions, for toric varieties. We
then turn to analyze deformation properties of toric Fano varieties, and prove
that in fact every simplicial toric Fano variety with at most terminal
singularities is rigid under deformations (and in particular is no...

Confirming Two Conjectures of Su and Wang. (arXiv:0901.0385v1 [math.CO]) - Two conjectures of Su and Wang (2008) concerning binomial coefficients are
proved. For $n\geq k\geq 0$ and $b>a>0$, we show that the finite sequence
$C_j=\binom{n+ja}{k+jb}$ is a P\'{o}lya frequency sequence. For $n\geq k\geq 0$
and $a>b>0$, we show that there exists an integer $m\geq 0$ such that the
infinite sequence $\binom{n+ja}{k+jb}, j=0, 1, $, is log-concave for $0\leq
j\leq m$ and log-convex for $j\geq m$. The proof of the first result exploits
the connection between total positivity and planar networks, while that of the
second uses a variation-diminishing property of the Laplace transform.

Stein's lemma, Malliavin calculus, and tail bounds, with application to polymer fluctuation exponent. (arXiv:0901.0383v1 [math.PR]) - We consider a random variable X satisfying almost-sure conditions involving
G:=<DX,-DL^{-1}X> where DX is X's Malliavin derivative and L^{-1} is the
inverse Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operator. A lower- (resp. upper-) bound condition on
G is proved to imply a Gaussian-type lower (resp. upper) bound on the tail
P[X>z]. Bounds of other natures are also given. A key ingredient is the use of
Stein's lemma, including the explicit form of the solution of Stein's equation
relative to the function 1_{x>z}, and its relation to G. Another set of
comparable results is established, without the use of Stein's lemma, using
instead a formula for the density of a random variable based on G, recently
devised by the author and Ivan Nourdin. As an application, via a Mehler-type
formula for G, we show that the Brownian polymer in a Gaussian environment
which is white-noise in time and positively correlated in space has deviations
of Gaussian type and a fluctuation exponent \chi=1/2. We also show th...

associated to the surface and prove that it is a generalization of the
Bennequin's self-linking formula for a braid in R^3. We also prove that our
self-linking formula is invariant up to mod k under transversal isotopy of the

Convergence of ray sequences of Pade approximants to 2F1(a,1;c;z), c>a>0. (arXiv:0901.0435v1 [math.CA]) - The Pad\'e table of $\phantom{}_2F_1(a,1;c;z)$ is normal for $c>a>0$ (cf.
\cite{3}). For $m \geq n-1$ and $c \notin {\zz}^{\phantom{}^-}$, the
denominator polynomial $Q_{mn}(z)$ in the $[m/n]$ Pad\'e approximant
$P_{mn}(z)/Q_{mn}(z)$ for $\phantom{}_2F_1(a,1;c;z)$ and the remainder term
$Q_{mn}(z)\phantom{}_2F_1(a,1;c;z)-P_{mn}(z)$ were explicitly evaluated by
Pad\'e (cf. \cite{2}, \cite{5} or \cite{7}). We show that for $c>a>0$ and
$m\geq n-1$, the poles of $P_{mn}(z)/Q_{mn}(z)$ lie on the cut $(1,\infty)$. We
deduce that the sequence of approximants $P_{mn}(z)/Q_{mn}(z)$ converges to
$\phantom{}_2F_1(a,1;c;z)$ as $m \to \infty$, $ n/m \to \rho$ with $0<\rho \leq

A rarefaction-tracking method for hyperbolic conservation law. (arXiv:0901.0298v1 [math.NA]) - We present a numerical method for scalar conservation laws in one space
dimension. The solution is approximated by local similarity solutions. While
traditional approaches use shocks, the presented method uses rarefaction and
compression waves. The solution is represented by particles that carry function
values and move according to the method of characteristics. Between two
neighboring particles, an interpolation is defined by an analytical similarity
solution of the conservation law. An interaction of particles represents a
collision of characteristics. The resulting shock is resolved by merging
particles so that the total area under the function is conserved. The method is
variation diminishing, nevertheless, it has no numerical dissipation away from
shocks. Although shocks are not explicitly tracked, they can be located
accurately. We present numerical examples, and outline specific applications
and extensions of the approach.

Furthermore, we give a geometric criterion for a parabolic subgroup $P_C$ of

$G_R$-orbit structure of the flag ind-manifold $G_C/P_C$.

classical results on tensor products of holomorphic and anti-holomorphic
representations of the group SL(2, R). Moreover they provide an easy way to
decompose these tensor products, with the help of Frobenius reciprocity. We

A cofinite universal space for proper actions for mapping class groups. (arXiv:0811.3871v2 [math.GT] UPDATED) - We prove that the mapping class group $\Gamma_{g,n}$ for surfaces of negative
Euler characteristic has a cofinite universal space $\E$ for proper actions
(the resulting quotient is a finite $CW$-complex). The approach is to construct
a truncated Teichmueller space $\T_{g,n}(\epsilon)$ by introducing a lower
bound for the length of shortest closed geodesics and showing that
$\T_{g,n}(\epsilon)$ is a $\Gamma_{g,n}$ equivariant deformation retract of the
Teichmueller space $\T_{g, n}$. The existence of such a cofinite universal
space is important in the study of the cohomology of the group $\gag$. As an
application, we note that there are only finitely many conjugacy classes of
finite subgroups of $\Gamma_{g,n}$. Another application is that the rational
Novikov conjecture in K-theory holds for $\Gamma_{g,n}$.

complete graph of degree $N$ (called a patch). There are two birth rates: an
inter-patch one $\lambda$ and an intra-patch one $\phi$. Once a site is
occupied, there is no breeding from outside the patch and the probability
$c(i)$ of success of an intra-patch breeding decreases with the size $i$ of the
population in the site. We prove the existence of a critical value
$\lambda_{cr}(\phi, c, N)$ and a critical value $\phi_{cr}(\lambda, c, N)$. We

Convergence and Monotonicity Problems in an Information-Theoretic Law of Small Numbers. (arXiv:0810.5203v2 [cs.IT] UPDATED) - A version of the law of small numbers is analyzed in information-theoretic
terms. Specifically, let $f=\{f_i, i=0, 1, \}$ be a probability mass function
(pmf) on nonnegative integers with mean $\lambda<\infty$. Denote the $n$th
convolution of $f$ by $f^{*n}$ and denote the $\alpha$-thinning of $f$ by
$T_\alpha(f)$. Then, as $n\to\infty$, the entropy $H(T_{1/n}(f^{*n}))$ tends to
$H(po(\lambda))$, where $po(\lambda)$ denotes the pmf of the Poisson
distribution with mean $\lambda$, and the relative entropy $D(T_{1/n
(f^{*n})|po(\lambda))$ tends to zero, if it ever becomes finite. Moreover,
$\alpha^{-1} D(T_\alpha(f)|po(\alpha\lambda))$ increases in $\alpha\in (0,1)$,
and $n^{-1} D(f^{*n}|po(n\lambda))$ decreases in $n=1,2, $. It follows that
$D(T_{1/n}(f^{*n})|po(\lambda))$ decreases monotonically in $n$. Furthermore,
assuming that $f$ is ultra-log-concave (i.e., log-concave relative to the
Poisson pmf), we show that $H(T_{1/n}(f^{*n}))$ increases monotonically in $n$.

Bounds on the Sum Capacity of Synchronous Binary CDMA Channels. (arXiv:0806.1659v2 [cs.IT] UPDATED) - In this paper, we obtain a family of lower bounds for the sum capacity of
Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) channels assuming binary inputs and binary
signature codes in the presence of additive i.i.d. noise with an arbitrary
distribution. The envelope of this family gives a relatively tight lower bound
in terms of the number of users, spreading gain and the noise distribution. The
derivation methods for the noiseless and the noisy channels are different but
when the noise variance goes to zero, the noisy channel bound approaches the
noiseless case. The behavior of the lower bound shows that for small noise
power, the number of users can be much more than the spreading gain without any
significant loss of information (overloaded CDMA). An upper bound is also
derived under the usual assumption that the users send out equally likely
binary bits in the presence of additive i.i.d. noise with an arbitrary
distribution. As the noise level increases, and/or, the ratio of the number of

Robust Cognitive Beamforming With Partial Channel State Information. (arXiv:0806.1372v2 [cs.IT] UPDATED) - This paper considers a spectrum sharing based cognitive radio (CR)
communication system, which consists of a secondary user (SU) having multiple
transmit antennas and a single receive antenna and a primary user (PU) having a
single receive antenna. The channel state information (CSI) on the link of the
SU is assumed to be perfectly known at the SU transmitter (SU-Tx). However, due
to loose cooperation between the SU and the PU, only partial CSI of the link
between the SU-Tx and the PU is available at the SU-Tx. With the partial CSI
and a prescribed transmit power constraint, our design objective is to
determine the transmit signal covariance matrix that maximizes the rate of the
SU while keeping the interference power to the PU below a threshold for all the
possible channel realization within an uncertainty set. This problem, termed
the robust cognitive beamforming problem, can be naturally formulated as a

introduced by using the operadic Lax equation. The operadic Lax representations
for the harmonic oscillator are constructed in 3-dimensional binary
anti-commutative algebras. As an example, an operadic Lax representation for

Positivity for toric vector bundles. (arXiv:0805.4035v2 [math.AG] UPDATED) - We show that an equivariant vector bundle on a complete toric variety is nef
or ample if and only if its restriction to every invariant curve is nef or
ample, respectively. Furthermore, we show that nef toric vector bundles have a
nonvanishing global section at every point, and deduce that the underlying
vector bundle is trivial if and only if its restriction to every invariant
curve is trivial. We apply our methods and results to study, in particular, the
vector bundles M_L that arise as the kernel of the evaluation map on sections
of L, when L is an ample line bundle. We give examples of twists of such
bundles that are ample but not globally generated.

Perturbations of Matter Fields in the Second-order Gauge-invariant Cosmological Perturbation Theory. (arXiv:0804.3840v4 [gr-qc] UPDATED) - Some formulae for the perturbations of the matter fields are summarized
within the framework of the second-order gauge-invariant cosmological
perturbation theory in a four dimensional homogeneous isotropic universe, which
is developed in the papers [K.Nakamura, Prog.Theor.Phys., 117 (2007), 17.]. We
derive the formulae for the perturbations of the energy momentum tensors and
equations of motion for a perfect fluid, an imperfect fluid, and a signle
scalar field, and show that all equations are derived in terms of
gauge-invariant variables without any gauge fixing.

The second largest component in the supercritical 2D Hamming graph. (arXiv:0801.1608v3 [math.PR] UPDATED) - The 2-dimensional Hamming graph H(2,n) consists of the $n^2$ vertices
$(i,j)$, $1\leq i,j\leq n$, two vertices being adjacent when they share a
common coordinate. We examine random subgraphs of H(2,n) in percolation with
edge probability $p$, so that the average degree $2(n-1)p=1+\epsilon$. Previous
work by van der Hofstad and Luczak had shown that in the barely supercritical
region $n^{-2/3}\ln^{1/3}n\ll \epsilon \ll 1$ the largest component has size
$\sim 2\epsilon n$. Here we show that the second largest component has size
close to $\epsilon^{-2}$, so that the dominant component has emerged. This
result also suggests that a {\it discrete duality principle} might hold,
whereby, after removing the largest connected component in the supercritical
regime, the remaining random subgraphs behave as in the subcritical regime.

Blocks of cyclotomic Hecke algebras and Khovanov-Lauda algebras. (arXiv:0808.2032v3 [math.RT] UPDATED) - We construct an explicit isomorphism between blocks of cyclotomic Hecke

isomorphisms connect the categorification conjecture of Khovanov and Lauda to
Ariki's categorification theorem. The Khovanov-Lauda algebras are naturally
graded, which allows us to exhibit a non-trivial Z-grading on blocks of
cyclotomic Hecke algebras, including symmetric groups in positive

bounds on L_{infinity} norm of omega and use them together with the Local

On isometric dilations of product systems of C*-correspondences and applications to families of contractions associated to higher-rank graphs. (arXiv:0809.4348v2 [math.OA] UPDATED) - Let E be a product system of C*-correspondences over N^r. Some sufficient
conditions for the existence of a not necessarily regular isometric dilation of
a completely contractive representation of E are established and difference
between regular and *-regular dilations discussed. It is in particular shown
that a minimal isometric dilation is *-regular if and only if it is doubly
commuting. The case of product systems associated with higher-rank graphs is

How to Fully Exploit the Degrees of Freedom in the Downlink of MISO Systems With Opportunistic Beamforming. (arXiv:0809.0536v2 [cs.IT] UPDATED) - The opportunistic beamforming in the downlink of multiple-input single-output
(MISO) systems forms $N$ transmit beams, usually, no more than the number of
transmit antennas $N_t$. However, the degrees of freedom in this downlink is as
large as $N_t^2$. That is, at most $N_t^2$ rather than only $N_t$ users can be
simultaneously transmitted and thus the scheduling latency can be significantly
reduced. In this paper, we focus on the opportunistic beamforming schemes with
$N_t<N\le N_t^2$ transmit beams in the downlink of MISO systems over Rayleigh
fading channels. We first show how to design the beamforming matrices with
maximum number of transmit beams as well as least correlation between any pair
of them as possible, through Fourier, Grassmannian, and mutually unbiased bases
(MUB) based constructions in practice. Then, we analyze their system throughput
by exploiting the asymptotic theory of extreme order statistics. Finally, our
simulation results show the Grassmannian-based beam...

Sur l'homologie des groupes orthogonaux et symplectiques \`a coefficients tordus. (arXiv:0808.4035v3 [math.AT] UPDATED) - We compute the stable homology of orthogonal and symplectic groups over a
finite field k with coefficients coming from an usual endofunctor F of k-vector
spaces (exterior, symmetric, divided powers ), that is, for all natural
integer i, we compute the colimits of the vector spaces $H_i(O_{n,n}(k) ;
F(k^{2n}))$ and $H_i(Sp_{2n}(k) ; F(k^{2n}))$. In this situation, the
stabilization is a classical result of Charney. We give a formal framework to
connect stable homology of some families of groups and homology of suitable
small categories thanks to a spectral sequence which collapses in several
cases. By our purely algebraic methods (i.e. without stable K-theory) we obtain
again results of Betley for stable homology of linear groups and symmetric
groups. For orthogonal and symplectic groups over a field we prove a
categorical result for vector spaces equipped with quadratic or alternating
forms and use powerful cancellation results known in homology of functors

Algebraic characterization of logically defined tree languages. (arXiv:0709.2962v2 [cs.LO] UPDATED) - We give an algebraic characterization of the tree languages that are defined
by logical formulas using certain Lindstr\"om quantifiers. An important
instance of our result concerns first-order definable tree languages. Our
characterization relies on the usage of preclones, an algebraic structure
introduced by the authors in a previous paper, and of the block product
operation on preclones. Our results generalize analogous results on finite word
languages, but it must be noted that, as they stand, they do not yield an
algorithm to decide whether a given regular tree language is first-order
definable.

Consistency of Equations in the Second-order Gauge-invariant Cosmological Perturbation Theory. (arXiv:0812.4865v2 [gr-qc] UPDATED) - Along the general framework of the gauge-invariant perturbation theory
developed in the papers [K. Nakamura, Prog. Theor. Phys. {\bf 110} (2003), 723;
{\it ibid}, {\bf 113} (2005), 481.], we re-derive the second-order Einstein
equations on four-dimensional homogeneous isotropic background universe in
gauge-invariant manner without ignoring any mode of perturbations. We consider
the perturbations both in the universe dominated by the single perfect fluid
and in that dominated by the single scalar field. We also confirmed the
consistency of all equations of the second-order Einstein equation and the
equations of motion for matter fields which are derived in the paper [K.
Nakamura, arXiv:0804.3840 [gr-qc]]. This confirmation implies that the all
derived equations of the second order are self-consistent and these equations
are correct in this sense.

Homological index formulas for elliptic operators over C*-algebras. (arXiv:math/0603694v2 [math.KT] UPDATED) - We prove index formulas for elliptic operators acting between sections of
C*-vector bundles on a closed manifold. The formulas involve Karoubi's Chern
character from K-theory of a C*-algebra to de Rham homology of smooth
subalgebras. We show how they apply to the higher index theorem for coverings
and to flat foliated bundles, and prove an index theorem for C*-dynamical
systems associated to actions of compact Lie groups. In an Appendix we relate
the pairing of odd K-theory and KK-theory to the noncommutative spectral flow
and prove the regularity of elliptic pseudodifferential operators over
C*-algebras.

An approach to non simply laced cluster algebras. (arXiv:math/0512043v4 [math.RT] UPDATED) - Let $\Delta$ be an oriented valued graph equipped with a group of admissible
automorphisms satisfying a certain stability condition. We prove that the
(coefficient-free) cluster algebra $\mathcal A(\Delta/G)$ associated to the
valued quotient graph $\Delta/G$ is a subalgebra of the quotient $\pi(\mathcal
A(\Delta))$ of the cluster algebra associated to $\Delta$ by the action of $G$.
When $\Delta$ is a Dynkin diagram, we prove that $\mathcal A(\Delta/G)$ and
$\pi(\mathcal A(\Delta))$ coincide. As an example of application, we prove that
affine valued graphs are mutation-finite, giving an alternative proof to a
result of Seven.

Central Schemes for Porous Media Flows. (arXiv:math/0610454v4 [math.NA] UPDATED) - We are concerned with central differencing schemes for solving scalar
hyperbolic conservation laws arising in the simulation of multiphase flows in
heterogeneous porous media. We compare the Kurganov-Tadmor, 2000 semi-discrete
central scheme with the Nessyahu-Tadmor, 1990 central scheme. The KT scheme
uses more precise information about the local speeds of propagation together
with integration over nonuniform control volumes, which contain the Riemann
fans. These methods can accurately resolve sharp fronts in the fluid
saturations without introducing spurious oscillations or excessive numerical
diffusion. We first discuss the coupling of these methods with velocity fields
approximated by mixed finite elements. Then, numerical simulations are
presented for two-phase, two-dimensional flow problems in multi-scale
heterogeneous petroleum reservoirs. We find the KT scheme to be considerably
less diffusive, particularly in the presence of high permeability flow
channels, which lead to str...

Gorenstein projective dimension with respect to a semidualizing module. (arXiv:math/0611711v2 [math.AC] UPDATED) - We introduce and investigate the notion of $\gc$-projective modules over

module. This extends Holm and J{\o}rgensen's notion of $C$-Gorenstein
projective modules to the non-noetherian setting and generalizes projective and
Gorenstein projective modules within this setting. We then study the resulting
modules of finite $\gc$-projective dimension, showing in particular that they
admit $\gc$-projective approximations, a generalization of the maximal
Cohen-Macaulay approximations of Auslander and Buchweitz. Over a local
(noetherian) ring, we provide necessary and sufficient conditions for a
$G_C$-approximation to be minimal.

Random Current Representation for Transverse Field Ising Models. (arXiv:0812.4834v1 [math-ph] CROSS LISTED) - Recently, a random current representation for transverse field Ising models

The volume of causal diamonds, asymptotically de Sitter space-times and irreversibility. (arXiv:0812.3410v1 [hep-th] CROSS LISTED) - In this note we prove that the volume of a causal diamond associated with an
inertial observer in asymptotically de Sitter 4-dimensional space-time is
monotonically increasing function of cosmological time. The asymptotic value of
the volume is that of in maximally symmetric de Sitter space-time. The
monotonic property of the volume is checked in two cases: in vacuum and in the
presence of a massless scalar field. In vacuum, the volume flow (with respect
to cosmological time) asymptotically vanishes if and only if future space-like
infinity is 3-manifold of constant curvature. The volume flow thus represents
irreversibility of asymptotic evolution in spacetimes with positive
cosmological constant.
