Flatness of families induced by hypersurfaces of flag varieties

We show the family of tangent flags to smooth quadric hypersurfaces extends to a flat family parametrized by the variety of complete quadrics. This answers a question posed by S. Kleiman.Partially supported by CNP_q-Brasil.     

Boundaries of Coxeter Matroids

The purpose of this paper is to introduce, for a finite Coxeter groupW, the mod 2 boundary operator on the space of all Coxeter matroids (also known asWP-matroids) forWandP, wherePvaries through all the proper standard parabolic subgroups ofW(Theorem 3 of the paper). A remarkably simple interpretation of Coxeter matroids as certain sets of faces of the generalized permutahedron associated with the Coxeter groupW(Theorem 1) yields a natural definition of the boundary of a Coxeter matroid. The latter happens to be a union of Coxeter matroids for maximal standard parabolic subgroupsQ_iofP(Theorem 2). These results have very natural interpretations in the case of ordinary matroids and flag-matroids (Section 3).

Spectral Analysis for Systems of Atoms and Molecules Coupled to the Quantized Radiation Field

We consider systems of static nuclei and electrons – atoms and molecules – coupled to the quantized radiation field. The interactions between electrons and the soft modes of the quantized electromagnetic field are described by minimal coupling, p→p−e A (x), where A(x) is the electromagnetic vector potential with an ultraviolet cutoff. If the interactions between the electrons and the quantized radiation field are turned off, the atom or molecule is assumed to have at least one bound state. We prove that, for sufficiently small values of the fine structure constant α, the interacting system has a ground state corresponding to the bottom of its energy spectrum. For an atom, we prove that its excited states above the ground state turn into metastable states whose life-times we estimate. Furthermore the energy spectrum is absolutely continuous, except, perhaps, in a small interval above the ground state energy and around the threshold energies of the atom or molecule.

Spectrum Slicing for Multiple Access Channels with Heterogeneous Services

Wireless mobile networks from the fifth generation (5G) and beyond serve as platforms for flexible support of heterogeneous traffic types with diverse performance requirements. In particular, the broadband services aim for the traditional rate optimization, while the time-sensitive services aim for the optimization of latency and reliability, and some novel metrics such as Age of Information (AoI). In such settings, the key question is the one of spectrum slicing: how these services share the same chunk of available spectrum while meeting the heterogeneous requirements. In this work we investigated the two canonical frameworks for spectrum sharing, Orthogonal Multiple Access (OMA) and Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA), in a simple, but insightful setup with a single time-slotted shared frequency channel, involving one broadband user, aiming to maximize throughput and using packet-level coding to protect its transmissions from noise and interference, and several intermittent users, aiming to either to improve their latency-reliability performance or to minimize their AoI. We analytically assessed the performances of Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) and ALOHA-based schemes in both OMA and NOMA frameworks by deriving their Pareto regions and the corresponding optimal values of their parameters. Our results show that NOMA can outperform traditional OMA in latency-reliability oriented systems in most conditions, but OMA performs slightly better in age-oriented systems.     

CMOS harmonic upconverter with power management of $$2{\bf nd}$$ harmonic for wideband short-range communications

The design and simulation of a 2nd harmonic based upconverter is introduced. With the proposed upconverter, it is possible to reach a good noise figure with power and area reduction. The design of the circuit was made with the UMC \(0.18\,\upmu \hbox {m}\) Mixed Mode/RF CMOS technology. However, the design methodology can be extended to a different CMOS process. According to the performance exhibited by the purposed mixer, it may be useful in wideband short-range communication technologies, such as certified wireless USB.     

Ground State and Resonances in the Standard Model of the Non-Relativistic QED

We prove existence of a ground state and resonances in the standard model of the non-relativistic quantum electro-dynamics (QED). To this end we introduce a new canonical transformation of QED Hamiltonians and use the spectral renormalization group technique with a new choice of Banach spaces.     

Preferred electron-impact elimination of two CHO groups from A triapentafulvalenequinone. Formation of a triafulvalene radical cation?

The mass spectral fragmentations of 1,2-diphenyl- and 1,2-di (phenyl-d₅)-4,5-benzotriapentafulvalene-3,6-quinone indicate the preferred elimination of two CHO groups with the formation of triafulvalene radical cations.     

1H and 13C n.m.r. study of butatriene-bis-tricarbonyliron complexes. Assignment of geometric orientation by comparative J(CCCH) values

A number of substituted butatriene-bis-tricarbonyliron complexes have been studied by ¹³C and ¹H n.m.r. spectroscopy. Long range coupling values, J(CCCH), have confirmed chemical shift results that methyl and phenyl groups assume opposite orientations at the coordinated double bonds with the methyl group preferentially trans to carbon and the phenyl group preferentially trans to iron.
