Title: Steady Radiating Gravity waves: An Exponential Asymptotics Approach
Abstract The radiation of steady surface gravity waves by a uniform stream$$U_{0}$$ U 0 over locally confined (width$$L$$ L ) smooth topography is analyzed based on potential flow theory. The linear solution to this classical problem is readily found by Fourier transforms, and the nonlinear response has been studied extensively by numerical methods. Here, an asymptotic analysis is made for subcritical flow$$D/\lambda > 1$$ D / λ > 1 in the low-Froude-number ($$F^{2} \equiv \lambda /L \ll 1$$ F 2 λ / L 1 ) limit, where$$\lambda = U_{0}^{2} /g$$ λ = U 0 2 / g is the lengthscale of radiating gravity waves and$$D$$ D is the uniform water depth. In this regime, the downstream wave amplitude, although formally exponentially small with respect to$$F$$ F , is determined by a fully nonlinear mechanism even for small topography amplitude. It is argued that this mechanism controls the wave response for a broad range of flow conditions, in contrast to linear theory which has very limited validity.  more » « less

  2. Abstract Using proton–proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of$$140\hbox { fb}^{-1}$$ 140 fb - 1 collected by the CMS experiment at$$\sqrt{s}= 13\,\text {Te}\hspace{-.08em}\text {V} $$ s = 13 Te V , the$${{{\Lambda }} _{\text {b}}^{{0}}} \rightarrow {{\text {J}/\uppsi }} {{{\Xi }} ^{{-}}} {{\text {K}} ^{{+}}} $$ Λ b 0 J / ψ Ξ - K + decay is observed for the first time, with a statistical significance exceeding 5 standard deviations. The relative branching fraction, with respect to the$${{{\Lambda }} _{\text {b}}^{{0}}} \rightarrow {{{\uppsi }} ({2\textrm{S}})} {{\Lambda }} $$ Λ b 0 ψ ( 2 S ) Λ decay, is measured to be$$\mathcal {B}({{{\Lambda }} _{\text {b}}^{{0}}} \rightarrow {{\text {J}/\uppsi }} {{{\Xi }} ^{{-}}} {{\text {K}} ^{{+}}} )/\mathcal {B}({{{\Lambda }} _{\text {b}}^{{0}}} \rightarrow {{{\uppsi }} ({2\textrm{S}})} {{\Lambda }} ) = [3.38\pm 1.02\pm 0.61\pm 0.03]\%$$ B ( Λ b 0 J / ψ Ξ - K + ) / B ( Λ b 0 ψ ( 2 S ) Λ ) = [ 3.38 ± 1.02 ± 0.61 ± 0.03 ] % , where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is systematic, and the third is related to the uncertainties in$$\mathcal {B}({{{\uppsi }} ({2\textrm{S}})} \rightarrow {{\text {J}/\uppsi }} {{{\uppi }} ^{{+}}} {{{\uppi }} ^{{-}}} )$$ B ( ψ ( 2 S ) J / ψ π + π - ) and$$\mathcal {B}({{{\Xi }} ^{{-}}} \rightarrow {{\Lambda }} {{{\uppi }} ^{{-}}} )$$ B ( Ξ - Λ π - )

  3. Abstract We introduce the immersion poset$$({\mathcal {P}}(n), \leqslant _I)$$ ( P ( n ) , I ) on partitions, defined by$$\lambda \leqslant _I \mu $$ λ I μ if and only if$$s_\mu (x_1, \ldots , x_N) - s_\lambda (x_1, \ldots , x_N)$$ s μ ( x 1 , , x N ) - s λ ( x 1 , , x N ) is monomial-positive. Relations in the immersion poset determine when irreducible polynomial representations of$$GL_N({\mathbb {C}})$$ G L N ( C ) form an immersion pair, as defined by Prasad and Raghunathan [7]. We develop injections$$\textsf{SSYT}(\lambda , \nu ) \hookrightarrow \textsf{SSYT}(\mu , \nu )$$ SSYT ( λ , ν ) SSYT ( μ , ν ) on semistandard Young tableaux given constraints on the shape of$$\lambda $$ λ , and present results on immersion relations among hook and two column partitions. The standard immersion poset$$({\mathcal {P}}(n), \leqslant _{std})$$ ( P ( n ) , std ) is a refinement of the immersion poset, defined by$$\lambda \leqslant _{std} \mu $$ λ std μ if and only if$$\lambda \leqslant _D \mu $$ λ D μ in dominance order and$$f^\lambda \leqslant f^\mu $$ f λ f μ , where$$f^\nu $$ f ν is the number of standard Young tableaux of shape$$\nu $$ ν . We classify maximal elements of certain shapes in the standard immersion poset using the hook length formula. Finally, we prove Schur-positivity of power sum symmetric functions on conjectured lower intervals in the immersion poset, addressing questions posed by Sundaram [12].

  4. Abstract This article revisits the problem of global well-posedness for the generalized parabolic Anderson model on$$\mathbb {R}^+\times \mathbb {T}^2$$ R + × T 2 within the framework of paracontrolled calculus (Gubinelli et al. in Forum Math, 2015). The model is given by the equation:$$\begin{aligned} (\partial _t-\Delta ) u=F(u)\eta \end{aligned}$$ ( t - Δ ) u = F ( u ) η where$$\eta \in C^{-1-\kappa }$$ η C - 1 - κ with$$1/6>\kappa >0$$ 1 / 6 > κ > 0 , and$$F\in C_b^2(\mathbb {R})$$ F C b 2 ( R ) . Assume that$$\eta \in C^{-1-\kappa }$$ η C - 1 - κ and can be lifted to enhanced noise, we derive new a priori bounds. The key idea follows from the recent work by Chandra et al. (A priori bounds for 2-d generalised Parabolic Anderson Model,,2024), to represent the leading error term as a transport type term, and our techniques encompass the paracontrolled calculus, the maximum principle, and the localization approach (i.e. high-low frequency argument).

  5. A<sc>bstract</sc> In a quantum theory of gravity, the species scale Λscan be defined as the scale at which corrections to the Einstein action become important or alternatively as codifying the “number of light degrees of freedom”, due to the fact that$$ {\Lambda}_s^{-1} $$ Λ s 1 is the smallest size black hole described by the EFT involving only the Einstein term. In this paper, we check the validity of this picture in diverse dimensions and with different amounts of supersymmetry and verify the expected behavior of the species scale at the boundary of moduli space. This also leads to the evaluation of the species scale in the interior of the moduli space as well as to the computation of the diameter of the moduli space. We also find evidence that the species scale satisfies the bound$$ {\frac{\left|\nabla {\Lambda}_s\right|}{\Lambda_s}}^2\le \frac{1}{d-2} $$ Λ s Λ s 2 1 d 2 all over moduli space including the interior.
