Sybil attacks pose a serious threat for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) security. They can create problems in routing, voting schemes, decision making, distributed storage and sensor re-programming. In a Sybil attack, the attacker masquerades as multiple sensor identities that are actually controlled by one or a few existing attacker nodes. Sybil identities are fabricated out of stolen keys, obt...

We show that the celebrated Painlevé equations for the Ising correlation functions follow in a simple way from the Ward Identities associated with local Integrals of Motion of the doubled Ising field theory. We use these Ward Identities to derive the equations determining the matrix elements of the product σ(x)σ(x) between any particle states. The result is then applied in evaluating the leadin...

We establish Pohozaev identities and integration by parts type formulas for anisotropic integro-differential operators of order 2s, with s ∈ (0, 1). These identities involve local boundary terms, in which the quantity u/d|∂Ω plays the role that ∂u/∂ν plays in the second order case. Here, u is any solution to Lu = f(x, u) in Ω, with u = 0 in R \ Ω, and d is the distance to ∂Ω.

We establish an integration by parts formula in bounded domains for the higher order fractional Laplacian (−∆) with s > 1. We also obtain the Pohozaev identity for this operator. Both identities involve local boundary terms, and they extend the identities obtained by the authors in the case s ∈ (0, 1). As an immediate consequence of these results, we obtain a unique continuation property for th...

Irrational conformal field theory (ICFT) includes rational conformal field theory as a small subspace, and the affine-Virasoro Ward identities describe the biconformal correlators of ICFT. We reformulate the Ward identities as an equivalent linear partial differential system with flat connections and new non-local conserved quantities. As examples of the formulation, we solve the system of flat...

international competition for having a greater contribution in the world is ever increasing, thus human resource management plays an important role. in a knowledge-based economy, an all-out participation of women in different social arenas promises optimal utilization of all human resource potentials. in this respect, iran has experienced an extensive presence of women in its higher education. ...

Scholars of ethnic politics have posited that in some societies ascriptive identities are ranked relative to each other, but the origins of ranking are poorly understood. This paper develops a theory of ranked identities, and of why the elites of subaltern groups sometimes choose to invest in improving their status within the value systems of dominant groups, rather than in creating their own. ...

Existing evidence seems to indicate that Muslims in Scotland have constructed hyphenated or hybrid identities that draw on religion, ethnicity and nationality. However, minor attention has been given to the differences in importance, meanings, and strengths of these identities, or the significance of their identity markers. Ethnic minority people can be identified with both their ethnic groups ...

Supersymmetric pure Yang-Mills theory is formulated with a local, i.e. space-time dependent, complex coupling in superspace. Super-Yang-Mills theories with local coupling have an anomaly, which has been first investigated in the Wess-Zumino gauge and there identified as an anomaly of supersymmetry. In a manifest supersymmetric formulation the anomaly appears in two other identities: The first o...
