Title: The theory of F-rational signature
Abstract F-signature is an important numeric invariant of singularities in positive characteristic that can be used to detect strong F-regularity.One would like to have a variant that rather detects F-rationality, and there are two theories that aim to fill this gap: F-rational signature of Hochster and Yao and dual F-signature of Sannai.Unfortunately, several important properties of the original F-signature are unknown for these invariants.We find a modification of the Hochster–Yao definition that agrees with Sannai’s dual F-signature and push further the united theory to achieve acompletegeneralization of F-signature.  more » « less

  2. Abstract Two key interfaces in flexible perovskite solar cells (f‐PSCs) are mechanically reinforced simultaneously: one between the electron‐transport layer (ETL) and the 3D metal‐halide perovskite (MHP) thin film using self‐assembled monolayer (SAM), and the other between the 3D‐MHP thin film and the hole‐transport layer (HTL) using an in situ grown low‐dimensional (LD) MHP capping layer. The interfacial mechanical properties are measured and modeled. This rational interface engineering results in the enhancement of not only the mechanical properties of both interfaces but also their optoelectronic properties holistically. As a result, the new class of dual‐interface‐reinforced f‐PSCs has an unprecedented combination of the following three important performance parameters: high power‐conversion efficiency (PCE) of 21.03% (with reduced hysteresis), improved operational stability of 1000 hT90(duration at 90% initial PCE retained), and enhanced mechanical reliability of 10 000 cyclesn88(number of bending cycles at 88% initial PCE retained). The scientific underpinnings of these synergistic enhancements are elucidated.

  3. The fiber single-cavity dual-comb laser (SCDCL) is an emerging light-source architecture that opens up the possibility for low-complexity dual-comb pump-probe measurements. However, the fundamental trade-off between measurement speed and time resolution remains a hurdle for the widespread use of fiber SCDCLs in dual-comb pump-probe measurements. In this paper, we break this fundamental trade-off by devising an all-optical dynamic repetition rate difference (Δfrep) modulation technique. We demonstrate the dynamic Δfrepmodulation in a modified version of the recently developed counterpropagating all-normal dispersion (CANDi) fiber laser. We verify that our all-optical dynamic Δfrepmodulation technique does not introduce excessive relative timing jitter. In addition, the dynamic modulation mechanism is studied and validated both theoretically and experimentally. As a proof-of-principle experiment, we apply this so-called dynamic CANDi (DCANDi) fiber laser to measure the relaxation time of a semiconductor saturable absorber mirror, achieving a measurement speed and duty cycle enhancement factor of 143. DCANDi fiber laser is a promising light source for low-complexity, high-speed, high-sensitivity ultrafast dual-comb pump-probe measurements.

  4. Abstract The problem of analyzing interconnectedness is one of today’s premier challenges in understanding systemic risk. Connections can both stabilize networks and provide pathways for contagion. The central problem in such networks is establishing global behavior from local interactions. Jiang-Lim-Yao-Ye (Jianget al2011Mathematical Programming 1271203–244) recently introduced the use of theHodge decomposition(see Lim 2020SIAM Review62685–715 for a review), a fundamental tool from algebraic geometry, to construct global rankings from local interactions (see Barbarossaet al2018(2018 IEEE Data Science Workshop (DSW), IEEE)pp 51–5; Haruna and Fujiki 2016Frontiers in Neural Circuits1077; Jiaet al2019(Proc. of the XXV ACM SIGKDD International Conf. on Knowledge Discovery & Data Mining, pp 761–71 for other applications). We apply this to a study of financial networks, starting from the Eisenberg-Noe (Eisenberg and Noe 2001Management Science47236–249) setup of liabilities and endowments, and construct a network of defaults. We then use Jiang-Lim-Yao-Ye to construct a global ranking from the defaults, which yields one way of quantifying ‘systemic importance’.

  5. Abstract Sessile plants encode a large number of small peptides and cell surface-resident receptor kinases, most of which have unknown functions. Here, we report that theArabidopsisreceptor kinase MALE DISCOVERER 1-INTERACTING RECEPTOR-LIKE KINASE 2 (MIK2) recognizes the conserved signature motif of SERINE-RICH ENDOGENOUS PEPTIDEs (SCOOPs) fromBrassicaceaeplants as well as proteins present in fungalFusariumspp. and bacterialComamonadaceae, and elicits various immune responses. SCOOP signature peptides trigger immune responses and altered root development in a MIK2-dependent manner with a sub-nanomolar sensitivity. SCOOP12 directly binds to the extracellular leucine-rich repeat domain of MIK2 in vivo and in vitro, indicating that MIK2 is the receptor of SCOOP peptides. Perception of SCOOP peptides induces the association of MIK2 and the coreceptors SOMATIC EMBRYOGENESIS RECEPTOR KINASE 3 (SERK3) and SERK4 and relays the signaling through the cytosolic receptor-like kinasesBOTRYTIS-INDUCED KINASE 1 (BIK1) and AVRPPHB SUSCEPTIBLE1 (PBS1)-LIKE 1 (PBL1). Our study identifies a plant receptor that bears a dual role in sensing the conserved peptide motif from phytocytokines and microbial proteins via a convergent signaling relay to ensure a robust immune response.
