We determine elastic and coupled-channel amplitudes for isospin-1 meson-meson scattering in P-wave, by calculating correlation functions using lattice QCD with light quark masses such that m_π = 236 MeV in a cubic volume ...

We present the first lattice QCD study of coupled-channel $\textit{Dπ}$, $\textit{Dη}$ and $\textit{D$_{s}$$\bar K$}$ scattering in isospin-1/2 in three partial waves. Using distillation, we compute matrices of correlation ...

We study the introduction of credit protection on sovereign debt. We find that such protection reduces debtor moral hazard by allowing a bonghokder to improve his position in negotiations with the sovereign. Moreover, ...

The emerging markets for credit derivatives have improved the liquidity of bank assets by providing banks with various new possibilities for selling and hedging their risks. This paper examines the consequences for banking ...

In this paper we study the impact of credit risk transfer (CRT) on the stability and the efficiency of a financial system in a model with endogenous intermediation and production. Our analysis suggests that with respect ...

The increasing penetration of electric vehicles over the coming decades, taken together with the high cost to upgrade local distribution networks and consumer demand for home charging, suggest that managing congestion on ...

In this paper we consider random planar maps weighted by the self-dual Fortuin--Kasteleyn model with parameter $q \in (0,4)$. Using a bijection due to Sheffield and a connection to planar Brownian motion in a cone we obtain ...

The 1-2 model on the hexagonal lattice is a model of statistical mechanics in which each vertex is constrained to have degree either 1 or 2. There are three edge directions, and three corresponding parameters a, b, c. It ...

The hexagonal polygon model arises in a natural way via a transformation of the 1-2 model on the hexagonal lattice, and it is related to the high temperature expansion of the Ising model. There are three types of edge, and ...

Following established traditions in anthropology and sociology, where cross-border research helps to identify important themes which benefit from comparative study, this dissertation introduces cross-sector policy research ...

Let V be a fi nite graph and let ∅ : V → V be an irreducible train track map whose mapping torus has word-hyperbolic fundamental group G. Then G acts freely and cocompactly on a CAT(0) cube complex. Hence, if F is a ...

We investigate the behavior of bouncing Bianchi type IX “mixmaster” universes in general relativity. This generalizes all previous studies of the cyclic behavior of closed spatially homogeneous universes with and without ...

We introduce a sheaf of infinite order differential operators D on smooth rigid analytic spaces that is a rigid analytic quantisation of the cotangent bundle. We show that the sections of this sheaf over sufficiently small ...

Let X be a smooth rigid analytic space. We prove that the category of co-admissible D-cap-modules on a smooth rigid analytic space supported on a closed smooth subvariety is naturally equivalent to the category of co-admissible ...

Abstract Background High-throughput measurement of allele-specific expression (ASE) is a relatively new and exciting application area for array-based technologies. In this paper, we explore several data sets which make use ...

The $\alpha$-sandwiched Rényi divergence satisfies the data processing inequality, i.e. monotonicity under quantum operations, for $\alpha$ $\geq$ 1/2. In this article, we derive a necessary and sufficient algebraic condition ...

In his 2005 review, $\textit{Gravity and the Thermodynamics of Horizons}$, Paddy suggested that a vacuum in thermal equilibrium with a bath of radiation should have a gradually diminishing energy. We work through the ...

This study concerns the decentralised prediction and reconstruction problems in a network. First of all, we propose a decentralised prediction algorithm in the framework of network consensus problem. It allows any ...

In water depths of 500m to greater than 2,000m, off the West coast of Africa, sediments comprise very soft clays with extremely high water contents and plasticity. In situ CPT and T-bar testing in these areas have identified ...
