Creation of blenders in the conservative setting

In this work we prove that each C^r conservative diffeomorphism with a pair of hyperbolic periodic points of co-index one can be C^1-approximated by C^r conservative diffeomorphisms having a blender.Comment: 4 figures, 16 figure

Noisy regression and classification with continuous multilayer networks

We investigate zero temperature Gibbs learning for two classes of unrealizable rules which play an important role in practical applications of multilayer neural networks with differentiable activation functions: classification problems and noisy regression problems. Considering one step of replica symmetry breaking, we surprisingly find that for sufficiently large training sets the stable state is replica symmetric even though the target rule is unrealizable. Further, the classification problem is shown to be formally equivalent to the noisy regression problem.Comment: 7 pages, including 2 figure

The dynamics of quasi-isometric foliations

If the stable, center, and unstable foliations of a partially hyperbolic system are quasi-isometric, the system has Global Product Structure. This result also applies to Anosov systems and to other invariant splittings. If a partially hyperbolic system on a manifold with abelian fundamental group has quasi-isometric stable and unstable foliations, the center foliation is without holonomy. If, further, the system has Global Product Structure, then all center leaves are homeomorphic.Comment: 18 pages, 1 figur

Ionisation by quantised electromagnetic fields: The photoelectric effect

In this paper we explain the photoelectric effect in a variant of the standard model of non relativistic quantum electrodynamics, which is in some aspects more closely related to the physical picture, than the one studied in [BKZ]: Now we can apply our results to an electron with more than one bound state and to a larger class of electron-photon interactions. We will specify a situation, where ionisation probability in second order is a weighted sum of single photon terms. Furthermore we will see, that Einstein's equality $$E_{kin}=h\nu-\bigtriangleup E>0$$ for the maximal kinetic energy $E_{kin}$ of the electron, energy $h\nu$ of the photon and ionisation gap $\bigtriangleup E$ is the crucial condition for these single photon terms to be nonzero.Comment: 59 pages, LATEX2
