The injection of secondary particles produced by dark annihilation around redshift ∼ 1000 would inevitably affect the process of recombination, leaving an imprint on cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature and polarization anisotropies. We show that the most recent CMB measurements provided by the WMAP satellite mission and the ACT telescope place interesting constraints on DM self-annihi...

We examine the ability for the Large Area Telescope (LAT) to constrain Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) dark matter through a combined analysis of Milky Way dwarf spheroidal galaxies. We examine the Lightest Supersymmetric Particles (LSPs) for a set of ∼ 71k experimentally valid supersymmetric models derived from the phenomenological-MSSM (pMSSM). We find that none of these models c...

Various sequences that possess explicit analytic expressions can be analysed asymptotically through integral representations due to Lindelöf, which belong to an attractive but largely forgotten chapter of complex analysis. One of the outcomes of such analyses concerns the non-existence of linear recurrences with polynomial coefficients annihilating these sequences, and, accordingly, the non-exi...

An element a of a semigroup algebra F[S] over a field F is called a right annihilating element of F[S] if xa = 0 for every x ∈ F[S], where 0 denotes the zero of F[S]. The set of all right annihilating elements of F[S] is called the right annihilator of F[S]. In this paper we show that, for an arbitrary field F, if a finite semigroup S is a direct product or semilattice or right zero semigroup o...

In this paper we continue to study the strongly annihilating-submodule graph. addition providing more properties of graph, compare extensively graph with

Gu map-1 is a modified version of GGH map. It uses same ideal lattices for constructing the trapdoors, while the novelty is that no encodings of zero are given. In this short paper we show that Gu map-1 cannot be used for the instance of witness encryption (WE) based on the hardness of 3-exact cover problem. That is, if Gu map-1 is used for such instance, we can break it by soving a combined 3-...
