Statefinder hierarchy exploration of the extended Ricci dark energy
We apply the statefinder hierarchy plus the fractional growth parameter to
explore the extended Ricci dark energy (ERDE) model, in which there are two
independent coefficients and . By adjusting them, we plot
evolution trajectories of some typical parameters, including Hubble expansion
rate , deceleration parameter , the third and fourth order hierarchy
and and fractional growth parameter ,
respectively, as well as several combinations of them. For the case of variable
and constant , in the low-redshift region the evolution
trajectories of are in high degeneracy and that of separate somewhat.
However, the CDM model is confounded with ERDE in both of these two
cases. and , especially the former, perform much better.
They can differentiate well only varieties of cases within ERDE except
CDM in the low-redshift region. For high-redshift region, combinations
can break the degeneracy. Both of
and have the ability to
discriminate ERDE with from CDM, of which the degeneracy
cannot be broken by all the before-mentioned parameters. For the case of
variable and constant , and can
only discriminate ERDE from CDM. Nothing but pairs
and can discriminate not only
within ERDE but also ERDE from CDM. Finally we find that
is surprisingly a better choice to discriminate within ERDE itself, and ERDE
from CDM as well, rather than .Comment: 8 pages, 14 figures; published versio
Quantum-Fluctuation-Driven Coherent Spin Dynamics in Small Condensates
We have studied quantum spin dynamics of small condensates of cold sodium
atoms. For a condensate initially prepared in a mean field ground state, we
show that coherent spin dynamics are {\em purely} driven by quantum
fluctuations of collective spin coordinates and can be tuned by quadratic
Zeeman coupling and magnetization. These dynamics in small condensates can be
probed in a high-finesse optical cavity where temporal behaviors of excitation
spectra of a coupled condensate-photon system reveal the time evolution of
populations of atoms at different hyperfine spin states.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure
Comparing holographic dark energy models with statefinder
We apply the statefinder diagnostic to the holographic dark energy models,
including the original holographic dark energy (HDE) model, the new holographic
dark energy model, the new agegraphic dark energy (NADE) model, and the Ricci
dark energy model. In the low-redshift region the holographic dark energy
models are degenerate with each other and with the CDM model in the
and evolutions. In particular, the HDE model is highly degenerate
with the CDM model, and in the HDE model the cases with different
parameter values are also in strong degeneracy. Since the observational data
are mainly within the low-redshift region, it is very important to break this
low-redshift degeneracy in the and diagnostics by using some
quantities with higher order derivatives of the scale factor. It is shown that
the statefinder diagnostic is very useful in breaking the low-redshift
degeneracies. By employing the statefinder diagnostic the holographic dark
energy models can be differentiated efficiently in the low-redshift region. The
degeneracy between the holographic dark energy models and the CDM
model can also be broken by this method. Especially for the HDE model, all the
previous strong degeneracies appearing in the and diagnostics are
broken effectively. But for the NADE model, the degeneracy between the cases
with different parameter values cannot be broken, even though the statefinder
diagnostic is used. A direct comparison of the holographic dark energy models
in the -- plane is also made, in which the separations between the models
(including the CDM model) can be directly measured in the light of the
current values of the models.Comment: 8 pages, 8 figures; accepted by European Physical Journal C; matching

Resonance Scattering in Optical Lattices and Molecules: Interband versus Intraband Effects
We study the low-energy two-body scattering in optical lattices with all
higher-band effects included in an effective potential, using a renormalization
group approach. As the potential depth reaches a certain value, a resonance of
low energy scattering occurs even when the negative s-wave scattering length
is much shorter than the lattice constant. These resonances can be
mainly driven either by interband or intraband effects or by both, depending on
the magnitude of . Furthermore the low-energy scattering matrix in optical
lattices has a much stronger energy-dependence than that in free space. We also
investigate the momentum distribution for molecules when released from optical
lattices.Comment: 4 figures, version accepted for publication in PR
Structural Deep Embedding for Hyper-Networks
Network embedding has recently attracted lots of attentions in data mining.
Existing network embedding methods mainly focus on networks with pairwise
relationships. In real world, however, the relationships among data points
could go beyond pairwise, i.e., three or more objects are involved in each
relationship represented by a hyperedge, thus forming hyper-networks. These
hyper-networks pose great challenges to existing network embedding methods when
the hyperedges are indecomposable, that is to say, any subset of nodes in a
hyperedge cannot form another hyperedge. These indecomposable hyperedges are
especially common in heterogeneous networks. In this paper, we propose a novel
Deep Hyper-Network Embedding (DHNE) model to embed hyper-networks with
indecomposable hyperedges. More specifically, we theoretically prove that any
linear similarity metric in embedding space commonly used in existing methods
cannot maintain the indecomposibility property in hyper-networks, and thus
propose a new deep model to realize a non-linear tuplewise similarity function
while preserving both local and global proximities in the formed embedding
space. We conduct extensive experiments on four different types of
hyper-networks, including a GPS network, an online social network, a drug
network and a semantic network. The empirical results demonstrate that our
method can significantly and consistently outperform the state-of-the-art
algorithms.Comment: Accepted by AAAI 1
From Micro to Macro: Uncovering and Predicting Information Cascading Process with Behavioral Dynamics
Cascades are ubiquitous in various network environments. How to predict these
cascades is highly nontrivial in several vital applications, such as viral
marketing, epidemic prevention and traffic management. Most previous works
mainly focus on predicting the final cascade sizes. As cascades are typical
dynamic processes, it is always interesting and important to predict the
cascade size at any time, or predict the time when a cascade will reach a
certain size (e.g. an threshold for outbreak). In this paper, we unify all
these tasks into a fundamental problem: cascading process prediction. That is,
given the early stage of a cascade, how to predict its cumulative cascade size
of any later time? For such a challenging problem, how to understand the micro
mechanism that drives and generates the macro phenomenons (i.e. cascading
proceese) is essential. Here we introduce behavioral dynamics as the micro
mechanism to describe the dynamic process of a node's neighbors get infected by
a cascade after this node get infected (i.e. one-hop subcascades). Through
data-driven analysis, we find out the common principles and patterns lying in
behavioral dynamics and propose a novel Networked Weibull Regression model for
behavioral dynamics modeling. After that we propose a novel method for
predicting cascading processes by effectively aggregating behavioral dynamics,
and propose a scalable solution to approximate the cascading process with a
theoretical guarantee. We extensively evaluate the proposed method on a large
scale social network dataset. The results demonstrate that the proposed method
can significantly outperform other state-of-the-art baselines in multiple tasks
including cascade size prediction, outbreak time prediction and cascading
process prediction.Comment: 10 pages, 11 figure
