Bohr’s principle of complementarity constitutes the hallmark and one of the most intriguing features of quantum mechanics. On the basis of this principle [1, 2] it is indeed universally accepted that any devices capable of determining the path taken by a particle trough a Young like double-aperture must destroy the interference. The justification usually presented is based on Heisenberg’s uncer...

Evaluating two-loop integrals in the transverse momentum space we obtain the trajectory of the Reggeized gluon in QCD in an explicit form in the two-loop approximation. It is presented as an expansion in powers of (D − 4) for the space-time dimension D tending to the physical value D = 4. As the result of a remarkable cancellation the third order pole in D − 4 disappears in the trajectory and t...

The Sivers mechanism for the single-spin asymmetry in unpolarized lepton scattering from a transversely polarized nucleon is driven by the orbital angular momentum carried by its quark and gluon constituents, combined with QCD final-state interactions. Both quark and gluon mechanisms can generate such a single-spin asymmetry, though only the quark mechanism can explain the small single-spin asy...

We study damped hyperbolic equations on the infinite line. We show that on the global attracting set G the ε-entropy (per unit length) exists in the topology of W 1,∞. We also show that the topological entropy per unit length of G exists. These results are shown using two main techniques: Bounds in bounded domains in position space and for large momenta, and a novel submultiplicativity argument...

If investors are more averse to the risk of losses on the downside than of gains on the upside, investors ought to demand greater compensation for holding stocks with greater downside risk. Downside correlations better capture the asymmetric nature of risk than downside betas, since conditional betas exhibit little asymmetry across falling and rising markets. We find that stocks with high downs...

This thesis addresses several aspects of the problem of determining the effect of the low-frequency eddy variability on the mean circulation of the Western North Atlantic. A framework for this study is first established by scale analysis of the eddy and mean terms in the mean momentum, vorticity, and heat balances in three regions of the Western North Atlantic -the northern recirculation, the s...

During the 1940s-1970s, the leftist intelligentsia played a prominent role in constructing a vibrant Iraqi culture, contributed greatly to the flourishing of literature and the arts, and exerted a great impact in the cultural and political spheres. This article focuses primarily on the 1960s, when, despite two Ba’thist coups, the cultural ambience was pronouncedly leftist. The second half of th...

employs the Z2 noise with an unbiased subtraction. This reduced the error by a factor of 4 with negligible overhead. The total quark contribution to the proton spin is found to be 0.30±0.07. From this and the quark spin content we deduce the quark orbital angular momentum to be 0.17 ± 0.06 which is ∼ 34% of the proton spin. We further predict that the gluon angular momentum to be 0.20 ± 0.07, i...

We show that new managers who take over mutual fund portfolios sell off inherited momentum losers at higher rates than stocks in any other momentum decile, even after adjusting for concurrent trades in these stocks by continuing fund managers. This behavior is observed regardless of fund characteristics and is stronger when new managers are external hires. The tendency of continuing fund manage...

The simple relationship between total angular momentum and energy and the seemingly natural separation of the angular momentum into spin and orbital components in the paraxial approximation, are investigated for a general nonparaxial form of monochromatic beam with near cylindrical symmetry.
