Complex Zeros of Algebraic Polynomial with Non-Zero Mean Random Coefficients

In this paper we obtain a formula for the average density of the distribution of complex zeros of an algebraic polynomial with random coefficients. The coefficients are assumed independent identical normally distributed random variables with mean and variance ². The value of the average density for the case of =0 and ²=1 was obtained previously. Some limits of the distribution of the complex zeros are provided using the presented formula.     

Majoration de sommes trigonométriques modulo pn

We give a generic estimation of trigonometric sums defined over closed sub-schemes with semi-stable reduction of the standard affine scheme modulo pn(n 2). We use Greenberg realisation to reduce to trigonometric sums defined over smooths sub-schemes of a finite product of Witt vectors over the finite field of p elements. Using the cohomological interpretation of this sums over a finite field, the sum is directly related to the Fourier–Deligne transformation of the dual pairs of Witt vectors. We deduce the estimation from the properties of the Fourier–Deligne transformation on simple perverse sheaves and pure sheaves.     

Dual properties of spacetime under an alternative Lorentz transformation

In flat spacetime, the fourth space coordinate in special relativity (SR) is equivalent to the coordinate time t_E. We will show, however, that this definition of physical time is not unique. Another natural choice of coordinate time, t_A, with absolute synchronization is allowed. Spacetime would exhibit dual properties, namely relativistic and absolute. In an arbitrary inertial frame, the relationship of the above two kinds of coordinate time corresponds to a resynchronization, and the Lorentz transformations can be written in an alternative form, which is called the generalized Galilean transformation (GGT). Although the absolute property is still hidden in nearly all types of experiments, the advantages of the above approach are as follows: (1) It will give us a deeper understanding of SR, including the basis of length contraction, time dilation and the interaction between moving objects and the physical vacuum. (2) It will provide a wider research domain than SR; for example, superluminal motion is predicted and has obtained growing experimental support.     

A pair of stream functions for three-dimensional vortex flows

Introducing a vector potential, that is based on a pair of stream functions, and a velocity potential, antisymmetric equations for the stream functions are derived with the help of a variational principle. It is found that the equations are in a suitable form to investigate flows with helical symmetry, and, for example, to connect upstream axisymmetric flows with downstream helical flows. The special case of a transition from an upstream solid-body vortex to a downstream helical flow is investigated in detail. Furthermore, the stream-function equations are particularly useful to investigate general small-amplitude inertia waves on vortex flows. Time-dependent helical flows that are time-independent in a suitably rotating frame of reference can also be discussed with the proposed method.     

Thermomechanical properties of smart composites

The smart composite materials reinforced by SMA show a high performance and special deformation behavior. The thermomechanical constitutive formulas of the composites are derived by means of Eshelby's equivalent inclusion method and Mori-Tanaka's mean field concept. The interaction between the inclusion and crack and toughening mechanism are considered and the energy release rate of a crack in the smart composite is calculated. This work shows that there are the multiple mechanisms contributing to the toughening of the smart composite materials reinforced by SMA.This project is supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China.     

Preparation and reaction of bis (perfluoroalkanesulfonyl) methyl halides

Halogenation of the potassium or silver salts of bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)methane (CF3SO2)2CH2 and its cyclo analogues 1 with N-fluoro-bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imine [(CF3SO2)2-NF], chlorine or bromine gave good yields of the corresponding α-halo disulfone (CF3SO2)2CHX and cyclo analogues 9, 10. The chemical transformation of these fluorinated α-halo-disulfones are described.     

Interaction between two folded solitary waves for a modified Broer--Kaup system

By means of a Painlevé-Baicklund transformation and a multi-linear separation-of-variable approach, abundant localized coherent excitations of a modified Broer-Kaup system are derived. There appear possible phase shifts for the interactions of the （2＋1）-dimensional novel localized structures, which are discussed in this paper.     

Interlaced Fourier transformation of ultrafast 2D NMR data

A new protocol for processing the data arising in ultrafast 2D NMR is discussed and exemplified, based on the interlaced Fourier transformation. This approach is capable of dealing in a single, combined fashion, with the two mirror-imaged interferograms arising in this kind of experiment as a result of the acquisition of a train of magnetic field gradient echoes. By combining all the acquired data points into a common Fourier processing procedure the spectral width along the direct-acquisition domain becomes effectively doubled, giving the opportunity of employing acquisition gradients that are approximately half as strong as hitherto required. This in turn should lead to an overall enhancement in the signal-to-noise ratio of the experiment of ca. 2, as well as to improvements in the achievable digital resolution. These expectations were tested by carrying out a series of homo- and heteronuclear ultrafast 2D NMR acquisitions, and found systematically fulfilled. The robustness and conditions that allow the interlaced numerical procedure to be implemented in routine analytical applications were explored and are briefly discussed.     

A Scheme for Physical Implementation of a Ququadrit Quantum Computation with Cooled-Trapped Ions

The physics realization of a ququadrit quantum computation with cooled trapped ¹³⁸Ba⁺ ions in a Paul trap is investigated. The ground state level 6² S_1/2(m = −1/2) and three metastable levels: 5² D_3/2(m = −1/2), 5² D_5/2(m = −1/2), and 5² D_5/2(m = 1/2), of the fine-structure of the ¹³⁸Ba⁺ ion, are used to store the quantum information of ququadrits. The use of coherent manipulation of populations in single ququadrit, being a four-dimensional Hilbert space, produces a discrete Fourier transform and the manipulation of the first red band transitions with the introduction of an ancillary quantum channel between two ququadrits generates a conditional phase gate. The combination of the both above results in a universal two-ququadrit gate, called XOR⁽⁴⁾ gate corresponding to the controlled-NOT gate operation in qubit systems. The implementation of quantum Fourier transform for n ququadrits is performed by means of the conditional phase-shift gate. The feasibility of physical realization of ququadrit quantum computation with cooled-trapped ¹³⁸Ba⁺ ions is detailed analyzed and described, and the theoretical detection method of logical states is given. Higher entanglement between ququadrits than qutrits or qubits and more security of ququadrit quantum cryptography than qutrit's or qutrit's will lead to more extensive applications ququadrits in quantum information fields. In particular, it is pointed out that this scheme should be the highest dimensional quantum computation in cooled-trapped ions, the entanglement between ququadrits should be the highest dimensional entanglement in it, and the ququadrit quantum cryptography should be the most secure cryptography protocol in it.
