We discuss scattering of fundamental matter in the planar and strong coupling limit via the AdS/CFT correspondence, generalizing the recently proposed calculation for adjoint matter due to Alday and Maldacena [1]. Color decomposition of quark amplitudes is a key property allowing to repeat the procedure in the case of fundamental matter and to derive the relation of these strong coupling amplit...

We consider a lattice formulation of the four dimensional N = 1 Wess-Zumino model that uses the Ginsparg-Wilson relation. This formulation has an exact supersymmetry on the lattice. We show that the corresponding Ward-Takahashi identity is satisfied, both at fixed lattice spacing and in the continuum limit. The calculation is performed in lattice perturbation theory up to order g in the couplin...

In this work we consider the problem of optimal cut selection in a multivariate analysis. When we wish to place an upper limit on the normalisation of a theoretical flux model, we show how the best detector sensitivity is found by optimizing the ratio of the average upper limit to the expected signal. In a multidimensional observable space, we find the constant Bayes posterior surface that defi...

The magnetization below and far above the quantum limit for small Fermi surface orbits has been measured in the metallic compound LaRhIn(5). The magnetization due to a pocket of Fermi surface that comprises less than 1 part in 10(4) of the total Brillouin zone volume, and for which the quantum limit is approximately 7 T, leads to the appearance of an overall sample magnetic moment at fields bet...

Abstract—In this study, a general approach to the reliability based limit analysis of laterally loaded piles is presented. In engineering practice the uncertainties play a very important role. The aim of this study is to evaluate the lateral load capacity of free-head and fixed-head long pile when plastic limit analysis is considered. In addition to the plastic limit analysis to control the pla...
