    Principle of Relativity, 24 possible kinematical algebras and new geometries with Poincar\'e symmetry

    Full text link
    From the principle of relativity with two universal invariant parameters cc and ll, 24 possible kinematical (including geometrical and static) algebras can be obtained. Each algebra is of 10 dimensional, generating the symmetry of a 4 dimensional homogeneous space-time or a pure space. In addition to the ordinary Poincar\'e algebra, there is another Poincar\'e algebra among the 24 algebras. New 4d geometries with the new Poincar\'e symmetry are presented. The motion of free particles on one of the new space-times is discussed.Comment: 11 pages, talk on the 9th Asia-Pacific International Conference on Gravitation and Astrophysics, Jun. 29-Jul. 2, Wuhan, Chin

    Effects of Dimension-5 Operators in E6E_6 Grand Unified Theories

    Full text link
    The effective dimension-5 operators can be induced by quantum gravity or inspired by string and M theories. They have important impacts on grand unified theories. We investigate the group theoretic nature of them for the well known E(6) model. Considering the breaking chains E6↦H=SO(10)Γ—UVβ€²(1)↦SU(5)Γ—UV(1)Γ—UVβ€²(1)↦SU(3)Γ—SU(2)Γ—UZ(1)Γ—UV(1)Γ—UVβ€²(1)E_{6}\mapsto H=SO(10)\times U_{V'}(1)\mapsto SU(5)\times U_{V}(1)\times U_{V'}(1)\mapsto SU(3)\times SU(2)\times U_{Z}(1)\times U_{V}(1)\times U_{V'}(1) and E6↦H=SO(10)Γ—UVβ€²(1)↦SU(4)Γ—SUL(2)Γ—SUR(2)Γ—UVβ€²(1)↦SU(3)Γ—SUL(2)Γ—SUR(2)Γ—US(1)Γ—UVβ€²(1)E_{6}\mapsto H=SO(10)\times U_{V'}(1)\mapsto SU(4)\times SU_{L}(2)\times SU_{R}(2)\times U_{V'}(1)\mapsto SU(3)\times SU_{L}(2)\times SU_{R}(2)\times U_{S}(1)\times U_{V'}(1), we derive and give all of the Clebsch-Gordan coefficients Ξ¦s,z(r)\Phi^{(r)}_{s,z} associated with E6E_6 breaking to the standard model. Some applications of the results are discussed shortly.Comment: 8 pages, latex, minor changes, accepted for the publication in MPL

    Slow-light Airy wave packets and their active control via electromagnetically induced transparency

    Full text link
    We propose a scheme to generate (3+1)-dimensional slow-light Airy wave packets in a resonant Ξ›\Lambda-type three-level atomic gas via electromagnetically induced transparency. We show that in the absence of dispersion the Airy wave packets formed by a probe field consist of two Airy wave packets accelerated in transverse directions and a longitudinal Gaussian pulse with a constant propagating velocity lowered to 10βˆ’5 c10^{-5}\,c (cc is the light speed in vacuum). We also show that in the presence of dispersion it is possible to generate another type of slow-light Airy wave packets consisting of two Airy beams in transverse directions and an Airy wave packet in the longitudinal direction. In this case, the longitudinal velocity of the Airy wave packet can be further reduced during propagation. Additionally, we further show that the transverse accelerations (or bending) of the both types of slow-light Airy wave packets can be completely eliminated and the motional trajectories of them can be actively manipulated and controlled by using a Stern-Gerlach gradient magnetic field.Comment: 19 pages, 5 figure

    Stern-Gerlach Effect of Weak-Light Ultraslow Vector Solitons

    Full text link
    We propose a scheme to exhibit Stern-Gerlach (SG) deflection of high-dimensional vector optical soliton (VOS) at weak-light level in a cold atomic gas via electromagnetically induced transparency. We show that the propagating velocity and generation power of such VOS can be reduced to 10βˆ’6  c10^{-6}\,\,c (cc is light speed in vacuum) and lowered to magnitude of nanowatt, respectively. The stabilization of the VOS may be realized by using an optical lattice formed by a far-detuned laser field, and its trajectory can be deflected significantly by using a SG magnetic field. Deflection angle of the VOS can be of magnitude of 10βˆ’310^{-3} rad when propagating several millimeters. Different from atomic SG deflection, deflection angle of the VOS can be distinct for different polarization components and can be manipulated in a controllable way. The results obtained can be described in terms of a SG effect for the VOS with quasispin and effective magnetic moment.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figure

    Propagation effect of gravitational wave on detector response

    Full text link
    The response of a detector to gravitational wave is a function of frequency. When the time a photon moving around in the Fabry-Perot cavities is the same order of the period of a gravitational wave, the phase-difference due to the gravitational wave should be an integral along the path. We present a formula description for detector response to gravitational wave with varied frequencies. The LIGO data for GW150914 and GW 151226 are reexamined in this framework. For GW150924, the traveling time of a photon in the LIGO detector is just a bit larger than a half period of the highest frequency of gravitational wave and the similar result is obtained with LIGO and Virgo collaborations. However, we are not always so luck. In the case of GW151226, the time of a photon traveling in the detector is larger than the period of the highest frequency of gravitational wave and the announced signal cannot match well the template with the initial black hole masses 14.2MβŠ™_\odot and 7.5MβŠ™_\odot

    Guiding ultraslow weak-light bullets with Airy beams in a coherent atomic system

    Full text link
    We investigate the possibility of guiding stable ultraslow weak-light bullets by using Airy beams in a cold, lifetime-broadened four-level atomic system via electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT). We show that under EIT condition the light bullet with ultraslow propagating velocity and extremely low generation power formed by the balance between diffraction and nonlinearity in the probe field can be not only stabilized but also steered by the assisted field. In particular, when the assisted field is taken to be an Airy beam, the light bullet can be trapped into the main lobe of the Airy beam, propagate ultraslowly in longitudinal direction, accelerate in transverse directions, and move along a parabolic trajectory. We further show that the light bullet can bypass an obstacle when guided by two sequential Airy beams. A technique for generating ultraslow helical weak-light bullets is also proposed.Comment: 23 pages, 6 figure

    For periodic initial data with initial density, we establish the global existence and uniqueness of strong and classical solutions for the two-dimensional compressible Navier-Stokes equations with no restrictions on the size of initial data provided the shear viscosity is a positive constant and the bulk one is \lam=\rho^{\b} with \b>1.Comment: 12 pages. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1205.5342, arXiv:1207.3746 by other author

    Ultraslow Helical Optical Bullets and Their Acceleration in Magneto-Optically Controlled Coherent Atomic Media

    Full text link
    We propose a scheme to produce ultraslow (3+1)-dimensional helical optical solitons, alias helical optical bullets, in a resonant three-level Ξ›\Lambda-type atomic system via quantum coherence. We show that, due to the effect of electromagnetically induced transparency, the helical optical bullets can propagate with an ultraslow velocity up to 10βˆ’510^{-5} cc (cc is the light speed in vacuum) in longitudinal direction and a slow rotational motion (with velocity 10βˆ’710^{-7} cc) in transverse directions. The generation power of such optical bullets can be lowered to microwatt, and their stability can be achieved by using a Bessel optical lattice potential formed by a far-detuned laser field. We also show that the transverse rotational motion of the optical bullets can be accelerated by applying a time-dependent Stern-Gerlach magnetic field. Because of the untraslow velocity in the longitudinal direction, a significant acceleration of the rotational motion of optical bullets may be observed for a very short medium length.Comment: 21 pages, 5 figure

    Reformulation of Boundary BF Theory Approach to Statistical Explanation of the Entropy of Isolated Horizons

    Full text link
    It is shown in this paper that the symplectic form for the system consisting of DD-dimensional bulk Palatini gravity and SO(1,1)(1,1) BF theory on an isolated horizon as a boundary just contains the bulk term. An alternative quantization procedure for the boundary BF theory is presented. The area entropy is determined by the degree of freedom of the bulk spin network states which satisfy a suitable boundary condition. The gauge-fixing condition in the approach and the advantages of the approach are also discussed.Comment: 17 pages, no figure

    eXclusive Autoencoder (XAE) for Nucleus Detection and Classification on Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) Stained Histopathological Images

    Full text link
    In this paper, we introduced a novel feature extraction approach, named exclusive autoencoder (XAE), which is a supervised version of autoencoder (AE), able to largely improve the performance of nucleus detection and classification on hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) histopathological images. The proposed XAE can be used in any AE-based algorithm, as long as the data labels are also provided in the feature extraction phase. In the experiments, we evaluated the performance of an approach which is the combination of an XAE and a fully connected neural network (FCN) and compared with some AE-based methods. For a nucleus detection problem (considered as a nucleus/non-nucleus classification problem) on breast cancer H&E images, the F-score of the proposed XAE+FCN approach achieved 96.64% while the state-of-the-art was at 84.49%. For nucleus classification on colorectal cancer H&E images, with the annotations of four categories of epithelial, inflammatory, fibroblast and miscellaneous nuclei. The F-score of the proposed method reached 70.4%. We also proposed a lymphocyte segmentation method. In the step of lymphocyte detection, we have compared with cutting-edge technology and gained improved performance from 90% to 98.67%. We also proposed an algorithm for lymphocyte segmentation based on nucleus detection and classification. The obtained Dice coefficient achieved 88.31% while the cutting-edge approach was at 74%.Comment: 11 pages, 7 figures, 5 tables, conference pape
