Title: Quasiregular Values and Rickman’s Picard Theorem
We prove a far-reaching generalization of Rickman’s Picard theorem for a surprisingly large class of mappings, based on the recently developed theory of quasiregular values. Our results are new even in the planar case.  more » « less

    Nucleation in a dynamical environment plays an important role in the synthesis and manufacturing of quantum dots and nanocrystals. In this work, we investigate the effects of fluid flow (low Reynolds number flow) on the homogeneous nucleation in a circular microchannel in the framework of the classical nucleation theory. The contributions of the configuration entropy from the momentum-phase space and the kinetic energy and strain energy of a microcluster are incorporated in the calculation of the change of the Gibbs free energy from a flow state without a microcluster to a flow state with a microcluster. An analytical equation is derived for the determination of the critical nucleus size. Using this analytical equation, an analytical solution of the critical nucleus size for the formation of a critical liquid nucleus is found. For the formation of a critical solid nucleus, the contributions from both the kinetic energy and the strain energy are generally negligible. We perform numerical analysis of the homogeneous nucleation of a sucrose microcluster in a representative volume element of an aqueous solution, which flows through a circular microchannel. The numerical results reveal the decrease of the critical nucleus size and the corresponding work of formation of a critical nucleus with the increase of the distance to axisymmetric axis for the same numbers of solvent atoms and solute atoms/particles.

    Abstract In this study, we model a sequence of a confined and a full eruption, employing the relaxed end state of the confined eruption of a kink-unstable flux rope as the initial condition for the ejective one. The full eruption, a model of a coronal mass ejection, develops as a result of converging motions imposed at the photospheric boundary, which drive flux cancellation. In this process, parts of the positive and negative external flux converge toward the polarity inversion line, reconnect, and cancel each other. Flux of the same amount as the canceled flux transfers to a flux rope, increasing the free magnetic energy of the coronal field. With sustained flux cancellation and the associated progressive weakening of the magnetic tension of the overlying flux, we find that a flux reduction of ≈11% initiates the torus instability of the flux rope, which leads to a full eruption. These results demonstrate that a homologous full eruption, following a confined one, can be driven by flux cancellation.

    The rank of a bimatrix game is the matrix rank of the sum of the two payoff matrices. This paper comprehensively analyzes games of rank one and shows the following: (1) For a game of rank r, the set of its Nash equilibria is the intersection of a generically one-dimensional set of equilibria of parameterized games of rank r − 1 with a hyperplane. (2) One equilibrium of a rank-1 game can be found in polynomial time. (3) All equilibria of a rank-1 game can be found by following a piecewise linear path. In contrast, such a path-following method finds only one equilibrium of a bimatrix game. (4) The number of equilibria of a rank-1 game may be exponential. (5) There is a homeomorphism between the space of bimatrix games and their equilibrium correspondence that preserves rank. It is a variation of the homeomorphism used for the concept of strategic stability of an equilibrium component.

    A Reeb graph is a graphical representation of a scalar function on a topological space that encodes the topology of the level sets. A Reeb space is a generalization of the Reeb graph to a multiparameter function. In this paper, we propose novel constructions of Reeb graphs and Reeb spaces that incorporate the use of a measure. Specifically, we introduce measure-theoretic Reeb graphs and Reeb spaces when the domain or the range is modeled as a metric measure space (i.e., a metric space equipped with a measure). Our main goal is to enhance the robustness of the Reeb graph and Reeb space in representing the topological features of a scalar field while accounting for the distribution of the measure. We first introduce a Reeb graph with local smoothing and prove its stability with respect to the interleaving distance. We then prove the stability of a Reeb graph of a metric measure space with respect to the measure, defined using the distance to a measure or the kernel distance to a measure, respectively.

    Entanglement entropy satisfies a first law-like relation, whichequates the first order perturbation of the entanglement entropy for theregion A A to the first order perturbation of the expectation value of the modularHamiltonian, \delta S_{A}=\delta \langle K_A \rangle δ S A = δ ⟨ K A ⟩ .We propose that this relation has a finer version which states that, thefirst order perturbation of the entanglement contour equals to the firstorder perturbation of the contour of the modular Hamiltonian,i.e.  \delta s_{A}(\textbf{x})=\delta \langle k_{A}(\textbf{x})\rangle δ s A ( 𝐱 ) = δ ⟨ k A ( 𝐱 ) ⟩ .Here the contour functions s_{A}(\textbf{x}) s A ( 𝐱 ) and k_{A}(\textbf{x}) k A ( 𝐱 ) capture the contribution from the degrees of freedom at \textbf{x} 𝐱 to S_{A} S A and K_A K A respectively. In some simple cases k_{A}(\textbf{x}) k A ( 𝐱 ) is determined by the stress tensor. We also evaluate the quantumcorrection to the entanglement contour using the fine structure of theentanglement wedge and the additive linear combination (ALC) proposalfor partial entanglement entropy (PEE) respectively. The fine structurepicture shows that, the quantum correction to the boundary PEE can beidentified as a bulk PEE of certain bulk region. While the shows thatthe quantum correction to the boundary PEE comes from the linearcombination of bulk entanglement entropy. We focus on holographictheories with local modular Hamiltonian and configurations of quantumfield theories where the applies.
