Abstract The total charm-quark production cross section per unit of rapidity$$\textrm{d}\sigma ({{\textrm{c}}\overline{\textrm{c}}})/\textrm{d}y$$ , and the fragmentation fractions of charm quarks to different charm-hadron species$$f(\textrm{c}\rightarrow {\textrm{h}}_{\textrm{c}})$$ , are measured for the first time in p–Pb collisions at$$\sqrt{s_\textrm{NN}} = 5.02~\text {Te}\hspace{-1.00006pt}\textrm{V} $$ at midrapidity ($$-0.96<0.04$$ in the centre-of-mass frame) using data collected by ALICE at the CERN LHC. The results are obtained based on all the available measurements of prompt production of ground-state charm-hadron species:$$\textrm{D}^{0}$$ ,$$\textrm{D}^{+}$$ ,$$\textrm{D}_\textrm{s}^{+}$$ , and$$\mathrm {J/\psi }$$ mesons, and$$\Lambda _\textrm{c}^{+}$$ and$$\Xi _\textrm{c}^{0}$$ baryons. The resulting cross section is$$ \textrm{d}\sigma ({{\textrm{c}}\overline{\textrm{c}}})/\textrm{d}y =219.6 \pm 6.3\;(\mathrm {stat.}) {\;}_{-11.8}^{+10.5}\;(\mathrm {syst.}) {\;}_{-2.9}^{+8.3}\;(\mathrm {extr.})\pm 5.4\;(\textrm{BR})\pm 4.6\;(\mathrm {lumi.}) \pm 19.5\;(\text {rapidity shape})+15.0\;(\Omega _\textrm{c}^{0})\;\textrm{mb} $$ , which is consistent with a binary scaling of pQCD calculations from pp collisions. The measured fragmentation fractions are compatible with those measured in pp collisions at$$\sqrt{s} = 5.02$$ and 13 TeV, showing an increase in the relative production rates of charm baryons with respect to charm mesons in pp and p–Pb collisions compared with$$\mathrm {e^{+}e^{-}}$$ and$$\mathrm {e^{-}p}$$ collisions. The$$p_\textrm{T}$$ -integrated nuclear modification factor of charm quarks,$$R_\textrm{pPb}({\textrm{c}}\overline{\textrm{c}})= 0.91 \pm 0.04\;\mathrm{(stat.)} ^{+0.08}_{-0.09}\;\mathrm{(syst.)} ^{+0.05}_{-0.03}\;\mathrm{(extr.)} \pm 0.03\;\mathrm{(lumi.)}$$ , is found to be consistent with unity and with theoretical predictions including nuclear modifications of the parton distribution functions.

                            Multipliers on bi-parameter Haar system Hardy spaces
                        
                    
    
            Abstract Let$$(h_I)$$ denote the standard Haar system on [0, 1], indexed by$$I\in \mathcal {D}$$ , the set of dyadic intervals and$$h_I\otimes h_J$$ denote the tensor product$$(s,t)\mapsto h_I(s) h_J(t)$$ ,$$I,J\in \mathcal {D}$$ . We consider a class of two-parameter function spaces which are completions of the linear span$$\mathcal {V}(\delta ^2)$$ of$$h_I\otimes h_J$$ ,$$I,J\in \mathcal {D}$$ . This class contains all the spaces of the formX(Y), whereXandYare either the Lebesgue spaces$$L^p[0,1]$$ or the Hardy spaces$$H^p[0,1]$$ ,$$1\le p < \infty $$ . We say that$$D:X(Y)\rightarrow X(Y)$$ is a Haar multiplier if$$D(h_I\otimes h_J) = d_{I,J} h_I\otimes h_J$$ , where$$d_{I,J}\in \mathbb {R}$$ , and ask which more elementary operators factor throughD. A decisive role is played by theCapon projection$$\mathcal {C}:\mathcal {V}(\delta ^2)\rightarrow \mathcal {V}(\delta ^2)$$ given by$$\mathcal {C} h_I\otimes h_J = h_I\otimes h_J$$ if$$|I|\le |J|$$ , and$$\mathcal {C} h_I\otimes h_J = 0$$ if$$|I| > |J|$$ , as our main result highlights: Given any bounded Haar multiplier$$D:X(Y)\rightarrow X(Y)$$ , there exist$$\lambda ,\mu \in \mathbb {R}$$ such that$$\begin{aligned} \lambda \mathcal {C} + \mu ({{\,\textrm{Id}\,}}-\mathcal {C})\text { approximately 1-projectionally factors through }D, \end{aligned}$$ i.e., for all$$\eta > 0$$ , there exist bounded operatorsA, Bso thatABis the identity operator$${{\,\textrm{Id}\,}}$$ ,$$\Vert A\Vert \cdot \Vert B\Vert = 1$$ and$$\Vert \lambda \mathcal {C} + \mu ({{\,\textrm{Id}\,}}-\mathcal {C}) - ADB\Vert < \eta $$ . Additionally, if$$\mathcal {C}$$ is unbounded onX(Y), then$$\lambda = \mu $$ and then$${{\,\textrm{Id}\,}}$$ either factors throughDor$${{\,\textrm{Id}\,}}-D$$ .

            Abstract The elliptic flow$$(v_2)$$ of$${\textrm{D}}^{0}$$ mesons from beauty-hadron decays (non-prompt$${\textrm{D}}^{0})$$ was measured in midcentral (30–50%) Pb–Pb collisions at a centre-of-mass energy per nucleon pair$$\sqrt{s_{\textrm{NN}}} = 5.02$$ TeV with the ALICE detector at the LHC. The$${\textrm{D}}^{0}$$ mesons were reconstructed at midrapidity$$(|y|<0.8)$$ from their hadronic decay$$\mathrm {D^0 \rightarrow K^-\uppi ^+}$$ , in the transverse momentum interval$$2< p_{\textrm{T}} < 12$$ GeV/c. The result indicates a positive$$v_2$$ for non-prompt$${{\textrm{D}}^{0}}$$ mesons with a significance of 2.7$$\sigma $$ . The non-prompt$${{\textrm{D}}^{0}}$$ -meson$$v_2$$ is lower than that of prompt non-strange D mesons with 3.2$$\sigma $$ significance in$$2< p_\textrm{T} < 8~\textrm{GeV}/c$$ , and compatible with the$$v_2$$ of beauty-decay electrons. Theoretical calculations of beauty-quark transport in a hydrodynamically expanding medium describe the measurement within uncertainties.more » « less

            Abstract A search for exotic decays of the Higgs boson ($$\text {H}$$ ) with a mass of 125$$\,\text {Ge}\hspace{-.08em}\text {V}$$ to a pair of light pseudoscalars$$\text {a}_{1} $$ is performed in final states where one pseudoscalar decays to two$${\textrm{b}}$$ quarks and the other to a pair of muons or$$\tau $$ leptons. A data sample of proton–proton collisions at$$\sqrt{s}=13\,\text {Te}\hspace{-.08em}\text {V} $$ corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138$$\,\text {fb}^{-1}$$ recorded with the CMS detector is analyzed. No statistically significant excess is observed over the standard model backgrounds. Upper limits are set at 95% confidence level ($$\text {CL}$$ ) on the Higgs boson branching fraction to$$\upmu \upmu \text{ b } \text{ b } $$ and to$$\uptau \uptau \text{ b } \text{ b },$$ via a pair of$$\text {a}_{1} $$ s. The limits depend on the pseudoscalar mass$$m_{\text {a}_{1}}$$ and are observed to be in the range (0.17–3.3) $$\times 10^{-4}$$ and (1.7–7.7) $$\times 10^{-2}$$ in the$$\upmu \upmu \text{ b } \text{ b } $$ and$$\uptau \uptau \text{ b } \text{ b } $$ final states, respectively. In the framework of models with two Higgs doublets and a complex scalar singlet (2HDM+S), the results of the two final states are combined to determine upper limits on the branching fraction$${\mathcal {B}}(\text {H} \rightarrow \text {a}_{1} \text {a}_{1} \rightarrow \ell \ell \text{ b } \text{ b})$$ at 95%$$\text {CL}$$ , with$$\ell $$ being a muon or a$$\uptau $$ lepton. For different types of 2HDM+S, upper bounds on the branching fraction$${\mathcal {B}}(\text {H} \rightarrow \text {a}_{1} \text {a}_{1} )$$ are extracted from the combination of the two channels. In most of the Type II 2HDM+S parameter space,$${\mathcal {B}}(\text {H} \rightarrow \text {a}_{1} \text {a}_{1} )$$ values above 0.23 are excluded at 95%$$\text {CL}$$ for$$m_{\text {a}_{1}}$$ values between 15 and 60$$\,\text {Ge}\hspace{-.08em}\text {V}$$ .more » « less

            Abstract Let$$\mathbb {F}_q^d$$ be thed-dimensional vector space over the finite field withqelements. For a subset$$E\subseteq \mathbb {F}_q^d$$ and a fixed nonzero$$t\in \mathbb {F}_q$$ , let$$\mathcal {H}_t(E)=\{h_y: y\in E\}$$ , where$$h_y:E\rightarrow \{0,1\}$$ is the indicator function of the set$$\{x\in E: x\cdot y=t\}$$ . Two of the authors, with Maxwell Sun, showed in the case$$d=3$$ that if$$|E|\ge Cq^{\frac{11}{4}}$$ andqis sufficiently large, then the VC-dimension of$$\mathcal {H}_t(E)$$ is 3. In this paper, we generalize the result to arbitrary dimension by showing that the VC-dimension of$$\mathcal {H}_t(E)$$ isdwhenever$$E\subseteq \mathbb {F}_q^d$$ with$$|E|\ge C_d q^{d-\frac{1}{d-1}}$$ .more » « less

            Abstract For a smooth projective varietyXover an algebraic number fieldka conjecture of Bloch and Beilinson predicts that the kernel of the Albanese map ofXis a torsion group. In this article we consider a product$$X=C_1\times \cdots \times C_d$$ of smooth projective curves and show that if the conjecture is true for any subproduct of two curves, then it is true forX. For a product$$X=C_1\times C_2$$ of two curves over$$\mathbb {Q} $$ with positive genus we construct many nontrivial examples that satisfy the weaker property that the image of the natural map$$J_1(\mathbb {Q})\otimes J_2(\mathbb {Q})\xrightarrow {\varepsilon }{{\,\textrm{CH}\,}}_0(C_1\times C_2)$$ is finite, where$$J_i$$ is the Jacobian variety of$$C_i$$ . Our constructions include many new examples of non-isogenous pairs of elliptic curves$$E_1, E_2$$ with positive rank, including the first known examples of rank greater than 1. Combining these constructions with our previous result, we obtain infinitely many nontrivial products$$X=C_1\times \cdots \times C_d$$ for which the analogous map$$\varepsilon $$ has finite image.more » « less
