Entropy of an autoequivalence on Calabi-Yau manifolds

We prove that the categorical entropy of the autoequivalence $T_{\mathcal{O}}\circ(-\otimes\mathcal{O}(-1))$ on a Calabi-Yau manifold is the unique positive real number $\lambda$ satisfying $$\sum_{k\geq 1}\frac{\chi(\mathcal{O}(k))}{e^{k\lambda}}=e^{(d-1)t}.$$ We then use this result to construct the first counterexamples of a conjecture on categorical entropy by Kikuta and Takahashi.Comment: 10 pages.

Theoretical Perspective of Convergence Complexity of Evolutionary Algorithms Adopting Optimal Mixing

The optimal mixing evolutionary algorithms (OMEAs) have recently drawn much attention for their robustness, small size of required population, and efficiency in terms of number of function evaluations (NFE). In this paper, the performances and behaviors of OMEAs are studied by investigating the mechanism of optimal mixing (OM), the variation operator in OMEAs, under two scenarios -- one-layer and two-layer masks. For the case of one-layer masks, the required population size is derived from the viewpoint of initial supply, while the convergence time is derived by analyzing the progress of sub-solution growth. NFE is then asymptotically bounded with rational probability by estimating the probability of performing evaluations. For the case of two-layer masks, empirical results indicate that the required population size is proportional to both the degree of cross competition and the results from the one-layer-mask case. The derived models also indicate that population sizing is decided by initial supply when disjoint masks are adopted, that the high selection pressure imposed by OM makes the composition of sub-problems impact little on NFE, and that the population size requirement for two-layer masks increases with the reverse-growth probability.Comment: 8 pages, 2015 GECCO oral pape

Constructing positive maps from block matrices

Positive maps are useful for detecting entanglement in quantum information theory. Any entangled state can be detected by some positive map. In this paper, the relation between positive block matrices and completely positive trace-preserving maps is characterized. Consequently, a new method for constructing decomposable maps from positive block matrices is derived. In addition, a method for constructing positive but not completely positive maps from Hermitian block matrices is also obtained.Comment: 13 page

Algebro-geometric solutions for the two-component Hunter-Saxton hierarchy

This paper is dedicated to provide theta function representations of algebro-geometric solutions and related crucial quantities for the two-component Hunter-Saxton (HS2) hierarchy through studying an algebro-geometric initial value problem. Our main tools include the polynomial recursive formalism, the hyperelliptic curve with finite number of genus, the Baker-Akhiezer functions, the meromorphic function, the Dubrovin-type equations for auxiliary divisors, and the associated trace formulas. With the help of these tools, the explicit representations of the algebro-geometric solutions are obtained for the entire HS2 hierarchy.Comment: 46 pages. accepted for publication J Nonl Math Phys, 2014. arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1406.6153, arXiv:1207.0574, arXiv:1205.6062; and with arXiv:nlin/0105021 by other author

A Riemann-Hilbert approach to the Harry-Dym equation on the line

In this paper, we consider the Harry-Dym equation on the line with decaying initial value. The Fokas unified method is used to construct the solution of the Harry-Dym equation via a $2 \times 2$ matrix Riemann Hilbert problem in the complex plane. Further, one-cups soltion solution is expressed in terms of solutions of the Riemann Hilbert problem.Comment: 17 page

G/GG/G Gauged Supergroup Valued WZNW Field Theory

The $G/G$ gauged supergroup valued WZNW theory is considered. It is shown that for G=\OSP, the $G/G$ theory tensoring a ($b$, $c$, $\beta$, $\gamma$) system is equivalent to the non-critical fermionic theory. The relation between integral or half integral moded affine superalgebra and its reduced theory, the NS or R superconformal algebra, is discussed in detail. The physical state space, i.e. the BRST semi-infinite cohomology, is calculated, for the \OSP/\OSP theory.Comment: AS-ITP-93-2

Zeno dynamics in quantum open systems

Quantum Zeno effect shows that frequent observations can slow down or even stop the unitary time evolution of an unstable quantum system. This effect can also be regarded as a physical consequence of the the statistical indistinguishability of neighboring quantum states. The accessibility of quantum Zeno dynamics under unitary time evolution can be quantitatively estimated by quantum Zeno time in terms of Fisher information. In this work, we investigate the accessibility of quantum Zeno dynamics in quantum open systems by calculating noisy Fisher information, in which a trace preserving and completely positive map is assumed. We firstly study the consequences of non-Markovian noise on quantum Zeno effect and give the exact forms of the dissipative Fisher information and the quantum Zeno time. Then, for the operator-sum representation, an achievable upper bound of the quantum Zeno time is given with the help of the results in noisy quantum metrology. It is of significance that the noise affecting the accuracy in the entanglement-enhanced parameter estimation can conversely be favorable for the accessibility of quantum Zeno dynamics of entangled states.Comment: 6 pages, 2 figure

Quantum Metrological Bounds for Vector Parameter

Precise measurement is crucial to science and technology. However, the rule of nature imposes various restrictions on the precision that can be achieved depending on specific methods of measurement. In particular, quantum mechanics poses the ultimate limit on precision which can only be approached but never be violated. Depending on analytic techniques, these bounds may not be unique. Here, in view of prior information, we investigate systematically the precision bounds of the total mean-square error of vector parameter estimation which contains $d$ independent parameters. From quantum Ziv-Zakai error bounds, we derive two kinds of quantum metrological bounds for vector parameter estimation, both of which should be satisfied. By these bounds, we show that a constant advantage can be expected via simultaneous estimation strategy over the optimal individual estimation strategy, which solves a long-standing problem. A general framework for obtaining the lower bounds in a noisy system is also proposed.Comment: 8 pages, 4 figure
