Enhanced transport of flexible fibers by pole vaulting in turbulent wall-bounded flow
Long, flexible fibers transported by a turbulent channel flow sample
non-linear variations of the fluid velocity along their length. As the fibers
tumble and collide with the boundaries, they bounce off with an impulse that
propels them toward the center of the flow, similar to pole vaulting. As a
result, the fibers migrate away from the walls, leading to depleted regions
near the boundaries and more concentrated regions in the bulk. These higher
concentrations in the center of the channel result in a greater net flux of
fibers than what was initially imposed by the fluid. This effect becomes more
pronounced as fiber length increases, especially when it approaches the channel
height.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figure
Free quasi-symmetric functions, product actions and quantum field theory of partitions
We examine two associative products over the ring of symmetric functions
related to the intransitive and Cartesian products of permutation groups. As an
application, we give an enumeration of some Feynman type diagrams arising in
Bender's QFT of partitions. We end by exploring possibilities to construct
noncommutative analogues.Comment: Submitted 28.11.0
The sparse Blume-Emery-Griffiths model of associative memories
We analyze the Blume-Emery-Griffiths (BEG) associative memory with sparse
patterns and at zero temperature. We give bounds on its storage capacity
provided that we want the stored patterns to be fixed points of the retrieval
dynamics. We compare our results to that of other models of sparse neural
networks and show that the BEG model has a superior performance compared to
them.Comment: 23 p
Gradation of Algebras of Curves by the Winding Number
We construct a new grading on the Goldman Lie algebra of a closed oriented
surface by the winding number. This grading induces a grading on the HOMFLY-PT
skein algebra and related algebras. Our work supports the conjectures of B.

Dual bases for non commutative symmetric and quasi-symmetric functions via monoidal factorization
In this work, an effective construction, via Sch\"utzenberger's monoidal
factorization, of dual bases for the non commutative symmetric and
quasi-symmetric functions is proposed
