A new version of tetrad gravity in globally hyperbolic, asymptotically flat at spatial infinity spacetimes with Cauchy surfaces diffeomorphic to R3 is obtained by using a new parametrization of arbitrary cotetrads to define a set of configurational variables to be used in the ADM metric action. Seven of the fourteen first class constraints have the form of the vanishing of canonical momenta. A ...

We describe the structure of mirror formulas for genus 0 Gromov-Witten invariants of projective complete intersections with any number of marked points and provide an explicit algorithm for obtaining the relevant structure coefficients. As an application, we give explicit closed formulas for the genus 0 Gromov-Witten invariants of Calabi-Yau complete intersections with 3 and 4 constraints. The ...

A class of nonlinear elliptic optimal control problems with mixed control-state constraints arising, e.g., in Lavrentiev-type regularized state constrained optimal control is considered. Based on its first order necessary optimality conditions, a semismooth Newton method is proposed and its fast local convergence in function space as well as a mesh-independence principle for appropriate discret...

We derive two classes of brane-world solutions arising in the presence of a bulk scalar field. For static field configurations, we adopt a time-dependent, factorizable metric ansatz that allows for radion stabilization. The solutions are characterized by a non-trivial warping along the extra dimension, even in the case of a vanishing bulk cosmological constant, and lead to a variety of inflatio...

We study a model for leptogenesis in which the total CP asymmetries in the decays and scatterings involving the SU(2) singlet seesaw neutrinos Nα vanish (ǫNα = 0). Leptogenesis is possible due to non-vanishing CP violating lepton flavor asymmetries, realizing a situation in which the baryon asymmetry is due exclusively to flavor effects. We study the production of a net lepton asymmetry by solv...

This paper investigates the best achievable performance by a hypothesis test satisfying a structural constraint: two functions are computed at two different terminals and the detector consists of a simple comparator checking if the functions agree. Such tests arise as part of study of fundamental limits of channel coding, and hypothesis testing with communication (rate) constraints. A simple ex...

The deformation of applicable surfaces such as sheets of paper satisfies the differential geometric constraints of isometry (lengths and areas are conserved) and vanishing Gaussian curvature. We show that these constraints lead to a closed set of equations that allow recovery of the full geometric structure from a single image of the surface and knowledge of its undeformed shape. We show that t...

We propose a new family of relaxation schemes for mathematical programs with complementarity constraints that extends the relaxations of Kadrani, Dussault, Bechakroun from 2009 and the one of Kanzow & Schwartz from 2011. We discuss the properties of the sequence of relaxed non-linear program as well as stationarity properties of limiting points. A sub-family of our relaxation schemes has the de...

This paper is concerned with nonlinear inverse problems where data and solution are vector valued and, moreover, where the solution is assumed to have a sparse expansion with respect to a preassigned frame. We especially focus on such problems where the different components of the solution exhibit a common or so–called joint sparsity pattern. Joint sparsity means here that the measure (typicall...
