In this paper, we shall use the Kähler geometry formulation to study the global behavior of the Ricci flow on $R^2$. The geometric feature of our Ricci flow is that it has finite width. Our aim is to determine the limiting metric (which corresponds an eternal Ricci flow) obtained by L.F.Wu. We can use the classification result of Daskalopoulos-Sesum to give a sufficient condition such that the limiting metric of L.F.Wu is the metric of cigar soliton.
In this paper, we prove a gap result for a locally conformally flat complete non-compact Riemannian manifold with bounded non-negative Ricci curvature and a scalar curvature average condition. We show that if it has positive Green function, then it is flat. This result is proved by setting up new global Yamabe flow. Other extensions related to bounded positive solutions to a schrodinger equation are also discussed.
In this paper, we study the global Kähler-Ricci flow on a complete non-compact Kähler manifold. We prove the following result. Assume that $(M,g_0)$ is a complete non-compact Kähler manifold such that there is a potential function $f$ of the Ricci tensor, i.e., $$ R_{i\bar{j}}(g_0)=f_{i\bar{j}}. $$ Assume that the quantity $|f|_{C^0}+|\nabla_{g_0}f|_{C^0}$ is finite and the L2 Sobolev inequality holds true on $(M,g_0)$. Then the Kahler-Ricci flow with the initial metric $g_0$ either blows up at finite time or infinite time to Ricci flat metric or exists globally with Ricci-flat limit at infinite time. A related is also discussed.
In this paper, we give the boundeness of solutions to Fractional Laplacian Ginzburg-Landau equation, which extends the Brezis theorem into the nonlinear Fractional Laplacian equation. A related linear fractional Schrodinger equation is also studied.
In this paper, we study the question if there is an isometric immersion of the cigar soliton into $R^3$. We show that the answer is negative. Similar result in higher dimensions is also true for steady Bryant solitons.
In the framework of the one-boson exchange model, we have calculated the effective potentials between two heavy mesons $B^* \bar{B}^{*}$ and $D^* \bar{D}^{*}$ from the t- and u-channel $π$-, $η$-, $ρ$-, $ω$- and $σ$-meson exchanges. We keep the recoil corrections to the $B^* \bar{B}^{*}$ and $D^* \bar{D}^{*}$ systems up to $O(\frac{1}{M^2})$, which turns out to be important for the very loosely bound molecular states. Our numerical results show that the momentum-related corrections are favorable to the formation of the molecular states in the $I^G=1^+$, $J^{PC}=1^{+-}$ in the $B^* \bar{B}^{*}$ and $D^* \bar{D}^{*}$ systems.
We study the anomalous Hall-like effect (AHLE) and the effective anisotropic magnetoresistance (EAMR) in antiferromagnetic γ -IrMn3/Y3Fe5O12(YIG) and Pt/YIG heterostructures. For γ -IrMn3/YIG, the EAMR and the AHLE resistivity change sign with temperature due to the competition between the spin Hall magnetoresistance (SMR) and the magnetic proximity effect (MPE) induced by the interfacial antiferromagnetic uncompensated magnetic moment. In contrast, for Pt/YIG the AHLE resistivity changes sign with temperature whereas no sign change is observed in the EAMR. This is because the MPE and the SMR play a dominant role in the AHLE and the EAMR, respectively. As new types of galvanomagnetic property, the AHLE and the EAMR have proved vital in disentangling the MPE and the SMR in metal/insulating-ferromagnet heterostructures.
We introduce a hierarchical nonparametric model for probability measures based on a multi-resolution transformation of probability distributions. The model allows a varying amount of shrinkage to be applied to data features of different scales and/or at different locations in the sample space, and the varying shrinkage level is locally adaptive to the empirical behavior of the data. Moreover, the model's hierarchical design---through a latent Markov tree structure---allows borrowing of information across locations and scales in setting the adaptive shrinkage level. Inference under the model proceeds efficiently using general recipes for conjugate hierarchical models. We illustrate the work of the model in density estimation and evaluate its performance through simulation under several schematic scenarios carefully designed to be representative of a variety of applications. We compare its performance to those of several state-of-the-art nonparametric models---the Pólya tree, the optional Pólya tree, and the Dirichlet process mixture of normals. In addition, we establish several important theoretical properties for the model including absolute continuity, full nonparametricity, and posterior consistency.
In this paper, we study the finite time blowup of the generalized Euler ODE in the matrix geometry. We can extend Sullivan's result which is about the finite time blowup result of initial invertible linear operators to singular linear operators. we can give a complete answer to the question of Sullivan in the case when the initial matrix A is symmetric in the finite dimensional vector space W. Some open questions are proposed in the last part of the paper.
In this paper, we study a nonlocal elliptic problem with the fractional Laplacian on $R^n$. We show that the problem has infinite positive solutions in $C^τ(R^n)\bigcap H^α_{loc}(R^n)$. Moreover each of these solutions tends to some positive constant limit at infinity. We extend Lin's result to the nonlocal problem on $R^n$.
We show that a probabilistic version of the classical forward-stepwise variable inclusion procedure can serve as a general data-augmentation scheme for model space distributions in (generalized) linear models. This latent variable representation takes the form of a Markov process, thereby allowing information propagation algorithms to be applied for sampling from model space posteriors. In particular, we propose a sequential Monte Carlo method for achieving effective unbiased Bayesian model averaging in high-dimensional problems, utilizing proposal distributions constructed using local information propagation. We illustrate our method---called LIPS for local information propagation based sampling---through real and simulated examples with dimensionality ranging from 15 to 1,000, and compare its performance in estimating posterior inclusion probabilities and in out-of-sample prediction to those of several other methods---namely, MCMC, BAS, iBMA, and LASSO. In addition, we show that the latent variable representation can also serve as a modeling tool for specifying model space priors that account for knowledge regarding model complexity and conditional inclusion relationships.
Motivated by the LHCb's recent confirmation of $Z_1(4475)$ as the $J^P=1^+$ resonance, we investigate various exotic interpretations of $Z_1(4475)$, which may be an axial vector tetraquark state, the P-wave excitation of the S-wave $D_1 {\bar D}^\ast$ or $D_2 {\bar D}^\ast$ molecule, the S-wave molecule composed of a $D$ or $D^*$ meson and a D-wave vector $D$ meson, or the cousin molecular state of $Z_c(3900)$ and $Z_c(4020)$ composed of a $D$ or $D^*$ meson and their radial excitations. With the help of the heavy quark symmetry, we predict the typical radiative and hidden-charm and open-charm strong decay patterns of $Z_1(4475)$, which are crucial to further identify the molecular state assignment of $Z_1(4475)$.
In this work, we have adopted the spin rearrangement scheme in the heavy quark limit and extensively investigated three classes of the radiative decays: $\mathfrak{M}\to (b\bar{b})+γ$, $(b\bar{b})\to \mathfrak{M}+γ$, $ \mathfrak{M} \to \mathfrak{M}^\prime+γ$, corresponding to the electromagnetic transitions between one molecular state and bottomonium, one bottomonium and molecular state, and two molecular states respectively. We also extend the same formalism to study the radiative decays of the molecular states with hidden charm. We have derived some model independent ratios when the initial or final states belong to the same spin flavor multiplet. Future experimental measurement of these ratios will test the molecular picture and explore the underlying structures of the $XYZ$ states.
We investigate the ratio of the branching fractions of the molecular candidates decaying into the ground and radially excited states within the quark interchange model. Our numerical results suggest that these molecular candidates are more likely to decay into the radially excited states than into ground states. Especially, the ratio $Γ[Z_c(4430)\to πψ(2S)]$/$Γ[Z_c(4430)\to πJ/ψ]\sim 9.8$ is close to the experimental measurement, which supports the interpretation of $Z_c(4430)$ as the $\bar{D}D^*(2S)$ molecular state. The ratios of the branching fractions of $Z_b(10610)$ and $Z_b(10650)$ to $πΥ(2S, 3S)$ and $πΥ(1S)$ agrees very well with Belle's measurement. We also predict the similar ratios for $Z_c(3900)$, $Z_c(4020)$, $R_{Z_c(3900)}$$\approx$1.3 and $R_{Z_c(4020)}$$\approx$$4.7$. Hopefully the $πψ(2S)$ mode, and ratios $R_{Z_c(3900)}$ and $R_{Z_c(4020)}$ will be measured by the BESIII and Belle collaborations in the near future, which shall be very helpful to understand the underlying dynamics of these exotic states.
Through the spin rearrangement scheme in the heavy quark limit, we have performed a comprehensive investigation of the decay pattern and production mechanism of the hidden beauty di-meson states, which are either composed of a P-wave bottom meson and an S-wave bottom meson or two S-wave bottom mesons. We further extend the corresponding formula to discuss the decay behavior of some charmonium-like states by combining the experimental information with our numerical results. The typical ratios presented in this work can be measured by future experiments like BESIII, Belle, LHCb and the forthcoming BelleII, which shall provide important clues to the inner structures of the exotic states.
Let $(\mathcal{E},D(\mathcal{E}))$ be a quasi-regular semi-Dirichlet form and $(X_t)_{t\geq0}$ be the associated Markov process. For $u\in D(\mathcal{E})_{loc}$, denote $A_t^{[u]}:=\tilde{u}(X_{t})-\tilde{u}(X_{0})$ and $F^{[u]}_t:=\sum_{0 1\}}$, where $\tilde{u}$ is a quasi-continuous version of $u$. We show that there exist a unique locally square integrable martingale additive functional $Y^{[u]}$ and a unique continuous local additive functional $Z^{[u]}$ of zero quadratic variation such that $$A_t^{[u]}=Y_t^{[u]}+Z_t^{[u]}+F_t^{[u]}.$$ Further, we define the stochastic integral $\int_0^t\tilde v(X_{s-})dA_s^{[u]}$ for $v\in D(\mathcal{E})_{loc}$ and derive the related Itô's formula.
We introduce a probabilistic framework for two-sample comparison based on a nonparametric process taking the form of a Markov model that transitions between a "divide" and a "merge" state on a multi-resolution partition tree of the sample space. Multi-scale two-sample comparison is achieved through inferring the underlying state of the process along the partition tree. The Markov design allows the process to incorporate spatial clustering of differential structures, which is commonly observed in two-sample problems but ignored by existing methods. Inference is carried out under the Bayesian paradigm through recursive propagation algorithms. We demonstrate the work of our method through simulated data and a real flow cytometry data set, and show that it substantially outperforms other state-of-the-art two-sample tests in several settings.
In the framework of the one boson exchange model, we have calculated the effective potentials between two heavy mesons $B \bar{B}^{*}$ and $D \bar{D}^{*}$ from the t- and u-channel $π$, $η$, $ρ$, $ω$ and $σ$ meson exchange with four kinds of quantum number: $I=0$, $J^{PC}=1^{++}$; $I=0$, $J^{PC}=1^{+-}$; $I=1$, $J^{PC}=1^{++}$; $I=1$, $J^{PC}=1^{+-}$. We keep the recoil corrections to the $B \bar{B}^{*}$ and $D \bar{D}^{*}$ system up to $O(\frac{1}{M^2})$. The spin orbit force appears at $O(\frac{1}{M})$, which turns out to be important for the very loosely bound molecular states. Our numerical results show that the momentum-related corrections are unfavorable to the formation of the molecular states in the $I=0$, $J^{PC}=1^{++}$ and $I=1$, $J^{PC}=1^{+-}$ channels in the $D \bar{D}^{*}$ systems.
