We obtain new consistent Kaluza-Klein embeddings of the gauged supergravities with half of maximal supersymmetry in dimensions D = 7, 6, 5 and 4. They take the form of warped embeddings in type IIA, type IIB, M-theory and type IIB respectively, and are obtained by performing Kaluza-Klein circle reductions or T-duality transformations on Hopf fibres in S 3 submanifolds of the previously-known sp...

We study the phenomenon of accidental or “emergent” supersymmetry within gauge theory and connect it to the scenarios of Split Supersymmetry and Higgs compositeness. Combining these elements leads to a significant refinement and extension of the proposal of Partial Supersymmetry, in which supersymmetry is broken at very high energies but with a remnant surviving to the weak scale. The Hierarchy...

We propose a method for integrating speech recognition and generation within a unified framework. The method consists of STRAIGHT, warped-frequency DCT, and an HMM engine. The warped-frequency DCT is used to derive a kind of mel-cepstral coefficient from the smoothed spectrum of STRAIGHT, which is known as a high-quality vocoder. This analysis/synthesis method has potential to improve the perfo...

1-3 (a): hemispherical tiling used for node acquisition; (b): textured hemispher-1-4 (a): the sweep-plane algorithm; (b): the recovered model (not textured).. . 2-2 (a): the position of the camera (red) and of the facade (white) in the modeled environment. The building in the foreground is projected onto the facade; (b): a color image showing the warped image; (c): the binary corresponding 2-3 ...

The Randall-Sundrum (RS) model, based on a slice of warped 5D spacetime, was originally introduced to explain the apparent hierarchy between the scales of weak and gravitational interactions. Over the past decade, this model has been extended to provide a predictive theory of flavor, as well as to address various constraints from precision data. In this talk, we will present a brief review of t...

In this paper, a simple adaptive interpolation approach is proposed for image interpolation. It depends on modifying the warped distance technique for image interpolation considering the local activity levels in each region of the image. This is performed by weighting the pixels used in the interpolation process with different adaptive weights. The adaptation can be extended to different tradit...

The dynamics of Wilson lines integrated along a warped extra dimension has been unknown. We study a five dimensional SU(N) pure gauge theory with Randall-Sundrum warped compactification on S/Z2. We clarify the notion of large gauge transformations on the covering space for this setup. We obtain Kaluza-Klein expansions of gauge and ghost fields for the most general twists and background gauge fi...

AdS3 vacua of topologically massive gravity (TMG) have been shown to be perturbatively unstable for all values of the coupling constant except the chiral point μl = 1. We study the possibility that the warped vacua of TMG, which exist for all values of μ, are stable under linearized perturbations. In this paper, we show that spacelike warped AdS3 vacua with Compère-Detournay boundary conditions...

Frequency-warped "lters are bene"cial in many audio applications because they inherently use nonuniform frequency resolution which may be matched so that it approximates the frequency representation of hearing. Warped transversal "lters are immediately obtained by replacing the unit delays of a conventional "lter with "rst-order allpass blocks. Implementation of warped recursive "lters is a pro...

We study the cosmology induced on a brane probing a warped throat region in a CalabiYau compactification of type IIB string theory. For the case of a BPS D3-brane probing the Klebanov-Strassler warped deformed conifold, the cosmology described by a suitable brane observer is a bouncing, spatially flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universe with timevarying Newton’s constant, which passes smoothly ...
