STRUCTURE 5N2 (“GROUP A”): A RÍO BEC PARADIGMATIC PALACE?

Wilson’s renormalization group : a paradigmatic shift

A personal and subjective recollection, concerning mainly Wilson’s lectures delivered over the spring of 1972 at Princeton University (summary of a talk at Cornell University on November 16, 2013 at the occasion of the memorial Kenneth G. Wilson conference). 1 Why was it so difficult to accept Wilson’s viewpoint? In 1971-72 I was on leave from Saclay, employed by the theory group at the physics...

Learning a Syntagmatic and Paradigmatic Structure from Language Data with a Bi-Multigram Model

In this paper, we present a stochastic language modeling tool which aims at retrieving variable-length phrases (multigrams), assuming bigram dependencies between them. The phrase retrieval can be intermixed with a phrase clustering procedure, so that the language data are iteratively structured at both a paradigmatic and a syntagmatic level in a fully integrated way. Perplexity results on ATR t...

Finding a Princess in a Palace: a Pursuit-Evasion Problem

This paper solves a pursuit–evasion problem in which a prince must find a princess who is constrained to move on each day from one vertex of a finite graph to another. Unlike the related and much studied ‘Cops and Robbers Game’, the prince has no knowledge of the position of the princess; he may, however, visit any single room he wishes on each day. We characterize the graphs for which the prin...

Interferometry and EPR Entanglement in a BEC

Entanglement is the basis of the EPR paradox, and macroscopic entanglement is a challenging frontier in modern physics [1]. It also has potential applications in sub shot-noise interferometry and ultra-sensitive detection beyond the standard quantum limit. Bose Einstein condensates (BEC) of ultracold atoms are excellent candidates to provide entangled states involving a large number of massive ...
