New Method of Calculating a Multiplication by using the Generalized Bernstein-Vazirani Algorithm

We present a new method of more speedily calculating a multiplication by using the generalized Bernstein-Vazirani algorithm and many parallel quantum systems. Given the set of real values \(\{a_{1},a_{2},a_{3},\ldots ,a_{N}\}\) and a function \(g:\textbf {R}\rightarrow \{0,1\}\), we shall determine the following values \(\{g(a_{1}),g(a_{2}),g(a_{3}),\ldots , g(a_{N})\}\) simultaneously. The speed of determining the values is shown to outperform the classical case by a factor of \(N\). Next, we consider it as a number in binary representation; M₁ = (g(a₁),g(a₂),g(a₃),…,g(a _N )). By using \(M\) parallel quantum systems, we have \(M\) numbers in binary representation, simultaneously. The speed of obtaining the \(M\) numbers is shown to outperform the classical case by a factor of \(M\). Finally, we calculate the product; \( M_{1}\times M_{2}\times \cdots \times M_{M}. \) The speed of obtaining the product is shown to outperform the classical case by a factor of N × M.     

Exotic tetraquark states with the $$qq\bar{Q}\bar{Q}$$ configuration

In this work, we study systematically the mass splittings of the \(qq\bar{Q}\bar{Q}\) (\(q=u\), d, s and \(Q=c\), b) tetraquark states with the color-magnetic interaction by considering color mixing effects and estimate roughly their masses. We find that the color mixing effect is relatively important for the \(J^P=0^+\) states and possible stable tetraquarks exist in the \(nn\bar{Q}\bar{Q}\) (\(n=u\), d) and \(ns\bar{Q}\bar{Q}\) systems either with \(J=0\) or with \(J=1\). Possible decay patterns of the tetraquarks are briefly discussed.     

Cyclotomic Gaudin Models: Construction and Bethe Ansatz

To any finite-dimensional simple Lie algebra \({\mathfrak{g}}\) and automorphism \({\sigma: \mathfrak{g}\to \mathfrak{g}}\) we associate a cyclotomic Gaudin algebra. This is a large commutative subalgebra of \({U(\mathfrak{g})^{\otimes N}}\) generated by a hierarchy of cyclotomic Gaudin Hamiltonians. It reduces to the Gaudin algebra in the special case \({\sigma ={\rm id}}\).     

A New Set of Limiting Gibbs Measures for the Ising Model on a Cayley Tree

For the Ising model (with interaction constant J>0) on the Cayley tree of order k≥2 it is known that for the temperature T≥T _c,k =J/arctan?(1/k) the limiting Gibbs measure is unique, and for T<T _c,k there are uncountably many extreme Gibbs measures. In the Letter we show that if \(T\in(T_{c,\sqrt{k}}, T_{c,k_{0}})\), with \(\sqrt{k} then there is a new uncountable set \({\mathcal{G}}_{k,k_{0}}\) of Gibbs measures. Moreover \({\mathcal{G}}_{k,k_{0}}\ne {\mathcal{G}}_{k,k'_{0}}\), for k ₀≠k′₀. Therefore if \(T\in (T_{c,\sqrt{k}}, T_{c,\sqrt{k}+1})\), \(T_{c,\sqrt{k}+1} then the set of limiting Gibbs measures of the Ising model contains the set {known Gibbs measures}\(\cup(\bigcup_{k_{0}:\sqrt{k}.     

Limits of Gaudin Algebras,Quantization of Bending Flows,Jucys–Murphy Elements and Gelfand–Tsetlin Bases

Gaudin algebras form a family of maximal commutative subalgebras in the tensor product of n copies of the universal enveloping algebra \({U(\mathfrak {g})}\) of a semisimple Lie algebra \({\mathfrak {g}}\). This family is parameterized by collections of pairwise distinct complex numbers z ₁, . . . , z _n . We obtain some new commutative subalgebras in \({U(\mathfrak {g})^{\otimes n}}\) as limit cases of Gaudin subalgebras. These commutative subalgebras turn to be related to the Hamiltonians of bending flows and to the Gelfand–Tsetlin bases. We use this to prove the simplicity of spectrum in the Gaudin model for some new cases.     

Mathematical Methods of Subjective Modeling in Scientific Research: I. The Mathematical and Empirical Basis

mathematical formalism for subjective modeling, based on modelling of uncertainty, reflecting unreliability of subjective information and fuzziness that is common for its content. The model of subjective judgments on values of an unknown parameter x ∈ X of the model M(x) of a research object is defined by the researcher–modeler as a space¹ (X, p(X), \(P{I^{\bar x}}\), \(Be{l^{\bar x}}\)) with plausibility\(P{I^{\bar x}}\) and believability \(Be{l^{\bar x}}\) measures, where x is an uncertain element taking values in X that models researcher—modeler’s uncertain propositions about an unknown x ∈ X, measures \(P{I^{\bar x}}\), \(Be{l^{\bar x}}\) model modalities of a researcher–modeler’s subjective judgments on the validity of each x ∈ X: the value of \(P{I^{\bar x}}(\tilde x = x)\) determines how relatively plausible, in his opinion, the equality \((\tilde x = x)\) is, while the value of \(Be{l^{\bar x}}(\tilde x = x)\) determines how the inequality \((\tilde x = x)\) should be relatively believed in. Versions of plausibility Pl and believability Bel measures and pl- and bel-integrals that inherit some traits of probabilities, psychophysics and take into account interests of researcher–modeler groups are considered. It is shown that the mathematical formalism of subjective modeling, unlike “standard” mathematical modeling, ?enables a researcher–modeler to model both precise formalized knowledge and non-formalized unreliable knowledge, from complete ignorance to precise knowledge of the model of a research object, to calculate relative plausibilities and believabilities of any features of a research object that are specified by its subjective model \(M(\tilde x)\), and if the data on observations of a research object is available, then it: ?enables him to estimate the adequacy of subjective model to the research objective, to correct it by combining subjective ideas and the observation data after testing their consistency, and, finally, to empirically recover the model of a research object.     

Antiproton-nucleus electromagnetic annihilation as a way to access the proton timelike form factors

Contrary to the reaction \( \bar{{p}}\) p \( \rightarrow\) e ⁺ e ^- with a high-momentum incident antiproton on a free target proton at rest, in which the invariant mass M of the e ⁺ e ^- pair is necessarily much larger than the \( \bar{{p}}\) p mass 2m , in the reaction \( \bar{{p}}\) d \( \rightarrow\) e ⁺ e ^- n the value of M can take values near or below the \( \bar{{p}}\) p mass. In the antiproton-deuteron electromagnetic annihilation, this allows to access the proton electromagnetic form factors in the timelike region of q² near the \( \bar{{p}}\) p threshold. We estimate the cross-section \(d\sigma _{\bar pd \to e^ + e^ - n} /d\mathcal{M}\) for an antiproton beam momentum of 1.5GeV/c. We find that near the \( \bar{{p}}\) p threshold this cross-section is about 1pb/MeV. The case of heavy-nuclei target is also discussed. Elements of experimental feasibility are presented for the process \( \bar{{p}}\) d \( \rightarrow\) e ⁺ e ^- n in the context of the \( \overline{{{\rm P}}}\) ANDA project.     

Horizon structure of rotating Bardeen black hole and particle acceleration

We investigate the horizon structure and ergosphere in a rotating Bardeen regular black hole, which has an additional parameter (g) due to the magnetic charge, apart from the mass (M) and the rotation parameter (a). Interestingly, for each value of the parameter g, there exists a critical rotation parameter (\(a=a_{E}\)), which corresponds to an extremal black hole with degenerate horizons, while for \(a<a_{E}\) it describes a non-extremal black hole with two horizons, and no black hole for \(a>a_{E}\). We find that the extremal value \(a_E\) is also influenced by the parameter g, and so is the ergosphere. While the value of \(a_E\) remarkably decreases when compared with the Kerr black hole, the ergosphere becomes thicker with the increase in g. We also study the collision of two equal mass particles near the horizon of this black hole, and explicitly show the effect of the parameter g. The center-of-mass energy (\(E_\mathrm{CM}\)) not only depend on the rotation parameter a, but also on the parameter g. It is demonstrated that the \(E_\mathrm{CM}\) could be arbitrarily high in the extremal cases when one of the colliding particles has a critical angular momentum, thereby suggesting that the rotating Bardeen regular black hole can act as a particle accelerator.     

Conformal Mappings and Dispersionless Toda Hierarchy

Let \({\mathfrak{D}}\) be the space consists of pairs (f, g), where f is a univalent function on the unit disc with f(0) = 0, g is a univalent function on the exterior of the unit disc with g(∞) = ∞ and f′(0)g′(∞) = 1. In this article, we define the time variables \({t_n, n\in \mathbb{Z}}\), on \({\mathfrak{D}}\) which are holomorphic with respect to the natural complex structure on \({\mathfrak{D}}\) and can serve as local complex coordinates for \({\mathfrak{D}}\) . We show that the evolutions of the pair (f, g) with respect to these time coordinates are governed by the dispersionless Toda hierarchy flows. An explicit tau function is constructed for the dispersionless Toda hierarchy. By restricting \({\mathfrak{D}}\) to the subspace Σ consists of pairs where \({f(w)=1/\overline{g(1/\bar{w})}}\), we obtain the integrable hierarchy of conformal mappings considered by Wiegmann and Zabrodin [31]. Since every C ¹ homeomorphism γ of the unit circle corresponds uniquely to an element (f, g) of \({\mathfrak{D}}\) under the conformal welding \({\gamma=g^{-1}\circ f}\), the space Homeo _C (S ¹) can be naturally identified as a subspace of \({\mathfrak{D}}\) characterized by f(S ¹) = g(S ¹). We show that we can naturally define complexified vector fields \({\partial_n, n\in \mathbb{Z}}\) on Homeo _C (S ¹) so that the evolutions of (f, g) on Homeo _C (S ¹) with respect to ? _n satisfy the dispersionless Toda hierarchy. Finally, we show that there is a similar integrable structure for the Riemann mappings (f ^?1, g ^?1). Moreover, in the latter case, the time variables are Fourier coefficients of γ and 1/γ ^?1.     

$$Q\bar{Q}$$ ($$Q\in \{b,c\}$$Q∈{b,c}) spectroscopy using the Cornell potential

The mass spectra and decay properties of heavy quarkonia are computed in nonrelativistic quark-antiquark Cornell potential model. We have employed the numerical solution of Schrödinger equation to obtain their mass spectra using only four parameters namely quark mass (\(m_c\), \(m_b\)) and confinement strength (\(A_{c\bar{c}}\), \(A_{b\bar{b}}\)). The spin hyperfine, spin-orbit and tensor components of the one gluon exchange interaction are computed perturbatively to determine the mass spectra of excited S, P, D and F states. Digamma, digluon and dilepton decays of these mesons are computed using the model parameters and numerical wave functions. The predicted spectroscopy and decay properties for quarkonia are found to be consistent with available data from experiments, lattice QCD and other theoretical approaches. We also compute mass spectra and life time of the \(B_c\) meson without additional parameters. The computed electromagnetic transition widths of heavy quarkonia and \(B_c\) mesons are in tune with available experimental data and other theoretical approaches.     

Almost Commutative Riemannian Geometry: Wave Operators

Associated to any (pseudo)-Riemannian manifold M of dimension n is an n + 1-dimensional noncommutative differential structure (Ω¹, d) on the manifold, with the extra dimension encoding the classical Laplacian as a noncommutative ‘vector field’. We use the classical connection, Ricci tensor and Hodge Laplacian to construct (Ω², d) and a natural noncommutative torsion free connection \({(\nabla,\sigma)}\) on Ω¹. We show that its generalised braiding \({\sigma:\Omega^1\otimes\Omega^1\to \Omega^1\otimes\Omega^1}\) obeys the quantum Yang-Baxter or braid relations only when the original M is flat, i.e. their failure is governed by the Riemann curvature, and that σ ² = id only when M is Einstein. We show that if M has a conformal Killing vector field τ then the cross product algebra \({C(M)\rtimes_\tau\mathbb{R}}\) viewed as a noncommutative analogue of \({M\times\mathbb{R}}\) has a natural n + 2-dimensional calculus extending Ω¹ and a natural spacetime Laplacian now directly defined by the extra dimension. The case \({M=\mathbb{R}^3}\) recovers the Majid-Ruegg bicrossproduct flat spacetime model and the wave-operator used in its variable speed of light prediction, but now as an example of a general construction. As an application we construct the wave operator on a noncommutative Schwarzschild black hole and take a first look at its features. It appears that the infinite classical redshift/time dilation factor at the event horizon is made finite.     

Infinitesimal Deformations of a Formal Symplectic Groupoid

Given a formal symplectic groupoid G over a Poisson manifold (M, π ₀), we define a new object, an infinitesimal deformation of G, which can be thought of as a formal symplectic groupoid over the manifold M equipped with an infinitesimal deformation \({\pi_0 + \varepsilon \pi_1}\) of the Poisson bivector field π ₀. To any pair of natural star products \({(\ast,\tilde\ast)}\) having the same formal symplectic groupoid G we relate an infinitesimal deformation of G. We call it the deformation groupoid of the pair \({(\ast,\tilde\ast)}\) . To each star product with separation of variables \({\ast}\) on a Kähler–Poisson manifold M we relate another star product with separation of variables \({\hat\ast}\) on M. We build an algorithm for calculating the principal symbols of the components of the logarithm of the formal Berezin transform of a star product with separation of variables \({\ast}\) . This algorithm is based upon the deformation groupoid of the pair \({(\ast,\hat\ast)}\) .     

Dorey’s Rule and the q-Characters of Simply-Laced Quantum Affine Algebras

Let \({U_q(\widehat{\mathfrak g})}\) be the quantum affine algebra associated to a simply-laced simple Lie algebra \({\mathfrak{g}}\) . We examine the relationship between Dorey’s rule, which is a geometrical statement about Coxeter orbits of \({\mathfrak{g}}\) -weights, and the structure of q-characters of fundamental representations V _i,a of \({U_q(\widehat{\mathfrak g})}\) . In particular, we prove, without recourse to the ADE classification, that the rule provides a necessary and sufficient condition for the monomial 1 to appear in the q-character of a three-fold tensor product \({V_{i,a}\otimes V_{j,b}\otimes V_{k,c}}\) .     

Parabolic Presentations of the Super Yangian {Y(\mathfrak{gl}_{M|N})} Associated with Arbitrary 01-Sequences

Let μ be an arbitrary composition of M + N and let \({\mathfrak{s}}\) be an arbitrary \({0^{M}1^{N}}\)- sequence. A new presentation, depending on \({\mu \rm and \mathfrak{s}}\), of the super Yangian Y_M|N associated to the general linear Lie superalgebra \({\mathfrak{gl}_{M|N}}\) is obtained.     

The strong decays of <Emphasis Type="Italic">X</Emphasis>(3940) and <Emphasis Type="Italic">X</Emphasis>(4160)

The new mesons X(3940) and X(4160) have been found by Belle Collaboration in the processes \(e^+e^-\rightarrow J/\psi D^{(*)}{\bar{D}}^{(*)}\). Considering X(3940) and X(4160) as \(\eta _c(3S)\) and \(\eta _c(4S)\) states, the two-body open charm OZI-allowed strong decay of \(\eta _c(3S)\) and \(\eta _c(4S)\) are studied by the improved Bethe–Salpeter method combined with the \(^3P_0\) model. The strong decay width of \(\eta _c(3S)\) is \(\Gamma _{\eta _c(3S)}=(33.5^{+18.4}_{-15.3})\) MeV, which is close to the result of X(3940); therefore, \(\eta _c(3S)\) is a good candidate of X(3940). The strong decay width of \(\eta _c(4S)\) is \(\Gamma _{\eta _c(4S)}=(69.9^{+22.4}_{-21.1})\) MeV, considering the errors of the results, it is close to the lower limit of X(4160). But the ratio of the decay width \(\frac{\Gamma (D{\bar{D}}^*)}{\Gamma (D^*{\bar{D}}^*)}\) of \(\eta _c(4S)\) is larger than the experimental data of X(4160). According to the above analysis, \(\eta _c(4S)\) is not the candidate of X(4160), and more investigations of X(4160) is needed.     

Quantifying Contextuality of Empirical Models in Terms of Trace-Distance

In order to quantify contextuality of empirical models, the quantity of contextuality (QoC) of empirical models is introduced in terms of the trace-distance. Let Q C(e) denote the QoC of an empirical model e. The following conclusions are proved. (i) An empirical model e is non-contextual if and only if Q C(e)=0, and then it is contextual if and only if Q C(e)>0; (ii) the QoC function QC is convex, contractive and continuous. Finally, the QoC of some famous models is computed, including PM-isotropic boxes P M ^α , M-isotropic boxes M ^α , C H _n -isotropic boxes \(CH_{n}^{\alpha }\) as well as K box, where α∈[0,1]. Moreover, P M ^α is non-contextual if and only if \(\alpha \in [\frac {1}{6},\frac {5}{6}]\); M ^α is non-contextual if and only if \(\alpha \in [0,\frac {4}{5}]\); when n is even, \(CH_{n}^{\alpha }\) is non-contextual if and only if \(\alpha \in [\frac {1}{n},\frac {n-1}{n}]\), and when n is odd, \(CH_{n}^{\alpha }\) is non-contextual if and only if \(\alpha \in [0,\frac {n-1}{n}]\). The most important thing is that it is very easy to compare the QoC of any two isotropic boxes discussed in the above.     

Conformal Geometry of the Supercotangent and Spinor Bundles

We study the actions of local conformal vector fields \({X \in {\rm conf}(M,g)}\) on the spinor bundle of (M, g) and on its classical counterpart: the supercotangent bundle \({\mathcal{M}}\) of (M, g). We first deal with the classical framework and determine the Hamiltonian lift of conf (M, g) to \({\mathcal{M}}\) . We then perform the geometric quantization of the supercotangent bundle of (M, g), which constructs the spinor bundle as the quantum representation space. The Kosmann Lie derivative of spinors is obtained by quantization of the comoment map.The quantum and classical actions of conf (M, g) turn, respectively, the space of differential operators acting on spinor densities and the space of their symbols into conf (M, g)-modules. They are filtered and admit a common associated graded module. In the conformally flat case, the latter helps us determine the conformal invariants of both conf (M, g)-modules, in particular the conformally odd powers of the Dirac operator.     

Study of the weak annihilation contributions in charmless $$\varvec{B_s\rightarrow VV}$$ decays

In this paper, in order to probe the spectator-scattering and weak annihilation contributions in charmless \(B_s\rightarrow VV\) (where V stands for a light vector meson) decays, we perform the \(\chi ^2\)-analyses for the endpoint parameters within the QCD factorization framework, under the constraints from the measured \(\bar{B}_{s}\rightarrow \) \(\rho ^0\phi \), \(\phi K^{*0}\), \(\phi \phi \) and \(K^{*0}\bar{K}^{*0}\) decays. The fitted results indicate that the endpoint parameters in the factorizable and nonfactorizable annihilation topologies are non-universal, which is also favored by the charmless \(B\rightarrow PP\) and PV (where P stands for a light pseudo-scalar meson) decays observed in previous work. Moreover, the abnormal polarization fractions \(f_{L,\bot }(\bar{B}_{s}\rightarrow K^{*0}\bar{K}^{*0})=(20.1\pm 7.0)\%,(58.4\pm 8.5)\%\) measured by the LHCb collaboration can be reconciled through the weak annihilation corrections. However, the branching ratio of \(\bar{B}_{s}\rightarrow \phi K^{*0}\) decay exhibits a tension between the data and theoretical result, which dominates the contributions to \(\chi _\mathrm{min}^2\) in the fits. Using the fitted endpoint parameters, we update the theoretical results for the charmless \(B_s\rightarrow VV\) decays, which will be further tested by the LHCb and Belle-II experiments in the near future.     

Inverse Scattering at Fixed Energy on Surfaces with Euclidean Ends

On a fixed Riemann surface (M ₀, g ₀) with N Euclidean ends and genus g, we show that, under a topological condition, the scattering matrix S _V (λ) at frequency λ > 0 for the operator Δ+V determines the potential V if \({V\in C^{1,\alpha}(M_0)\cap e^{-\gamma d(\cdot,z_0)^j}L^\infty(M_0)}\) for all γ > 0 and for some \({j\in\{1,2\}}\) , where d(z, z ₀) denotes the distance from z to a fixed point \({z_0\in M_0}\) . The topological condition is given by \({N\geq \max(2g+1,2)}\) for j = 1 and by N ≥ g + 1 if j = 2. In \({\mathbb {R}^2}\) this implies that the operator S _V (λ) determines any C ^{1, α} potential V such that \({V(z)=O(e^{-\gamma|z|^2})}\) for all γ > 0.     

Spectral Measures Associated to Rank two Lie Groups and Finite Subgroups of {GL(2,\mathbb{Z})}

Spectral measures for fundamental representations of the rank two Lie groups SU(3), Sp(2) and G₂ have been studied. Since these groups have rank two, these spectral measures can be defined as measures over their maximal torus \({\mathbb{T}^2}\) and are invariant under an action of the corresponding Weyl group, which is a subgroup of \({GL(2,\mathbb{Z})}\). Here we consider spectral measures invariant under an action of the other finite subgroups of \({GL(2,\mathbb{Z})}\). These spectral measures are all associated with fundamental representations of other rank two Lie groups, namely \({\mathbb{T}^2=U(1) \times U(1)}\), \({U(1) \times SU(2)}\), U(2), \({SU(2) \times SU(2)}\), SO(4) and PSU(3).
