Title: A generalization of a micro local version of Bochner's theorem
We prove a generalization of the microlocal version of Bochner’s tube theorem obtained in Baouendi and Tr`eves [Indiana Univ. Math. J. 31 (1982), pp. 885–895]. The results provide a class of CR structures where CR functions extend holomorphically to a full neighborhood of a point which may be of infinite type.  more » « less

    Described herein is the synthesis and characterization of macrocyclic Cr III mono-alkynyl complexes. By using the meso -form of the tetraazamacrocycle HMC (HMC = 5,5,7,12,12,14-hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane), trans -[Cr(HMC)(C 2 Ph)Cl]OTf ( 1a ), trans -[Cr(HMC)(C 2 Np)Cl]OTf ( 2a ), trans -[Cr(HMC)(C 2 C 6 H 4 t Bu)Cl]OTf ( 3a ), and trans -[Cr(HMC)(C 2 (3,5-Cl 2 C 6 H 3 ))Cl]OTf ( 4a ) complexes have been realized. These complexes were synthesized in high yield through the reaction of trans -[Cr( meso -HMC)(C 2 Ar) 2 ]OTf ( 1b–4b ) with stoichiometric amounts of methanolic HCl. Single crystal X-ray diffraction showed that the trans -stereochemistry and pseudo-octahedral geometry is retained in the desired mono-alkynyl complexes. The absorption spectra of complexes 1a–4a display d–d bands with distinct vibronic progressions that are slightly red shifted from trans -[Cr(HMC)(C 2 Ar) 2 ] + with approximately halved molar extinction coefficients. Time-delayed measurements of the emission spectra for complexes 1a–4a at 77 K revealed phosphorescence with lifetimes ranging between 343 μs ( 4a ) and 397 μs ( 1a ). The phosphorescence spectra of 1a–4a also exhibit more structuring than the bis-alkynyl complexes due to a strengthened vibronic coupling between the Cr III metal center and alkynyl ligands.

  3. In the problem of learning a class ratio from unlabeled data, which we call CR learning, the training data is unlabeled, and only the ratios, or proportions, of examples receiving each label are given. The goal is to learn a hypothesis that predicts the proportions of labels on the distribution underlying the sample. This model of learning is applicable to a wide variety of settings, including predicting the number of votes for candidates in political elections from polls. In this paper, we formally define this class and resolve foundational questions regarding the computational complexity of CR learning and characterize its relationship to PAC learning. Among our results, we show, perhaps surprisingly, that for finite VC classes what can be efficiently CR learned is a strict subset of what can be learned efficiently in PAC, under standard complexity assumptions. We also show that there exist classes of functions whose CR learnability is independent of ZFC, the standard set theoretic axioms. This implies that CR learning cannot be easily characterized (like PAC by VC dimension).

  4. ABSTRACT A reduced speed-of-light (RSOL) approximation is a useful technique for magnetohydrodynamic (MHD)-particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations. With an RSOL, some ‘in-code’ speed-of-light $$\tilde{c}$$ is set to much lower values than the true c, allowing simulations to take larger time-steps (which are restricted by the Courant condition given the large CR speeds). However, due to the absence of a well-formulated RSOL implementation from the literature, with naive substitution of the true c with a RSOL, the CR properties in MHD-PIC simulations (e.g. CR energy or momentum density, gyro radius) vary artificially with respect to each other and with respect to the converged ($$\tilde{c} \rightarrow c$$) solutions, with different choices of a RSOL. Here, we derive a new formulation of the MHD-PIC equations with an RSOL and show that (1) it guarantees all steady-state properties of the CR distribution function, and background plasma/MHD quantities are independent of the RSOL $$\tilde{c}$$ even for $$\tilde{c} \ll c$$; (2) it ensures that the simulation can simultaneously represent the real physical values of CR number, mass, momentum, and energy density; (3) it retains the correct physical meaning of various terms like the electric field; and (4) it ensures the numerical time-step for CRs can always be safely increased by a factor $$\sim c/\tilde{c}$$. This new RSOL formulation should enable greater self-consistency and reduced CPU cost in simulations of CR–MHD interactions.

    The nonresonant cosmic ray instability, predicted by Bell (2004), is thought to play an important role in the acceleration and confinement of cosmic rays (CR) close to supernova remnants. Despite its importance, the exact mechanism responsible for the saturation of the instability has not been determined, and there is no first-principle prediction for the amplitude of the saturated magnetic field. Using a survey of self-consistent hybrid simulations (with kinetic ions and fluid electrons), we study the non-linear evolution of the Bell instability as a function of the parameters of the CR population. We find that saturation is achieved when the magnetic pressure in the amplified field is comparable to the initial CR momentum flux.
