Two-component Fermi gas with a resonant interaction

We consider a two-component Fermi gas interacting via a Feshbach molecular state. It is shown that an important energy scale is $E_g=g^4m^3/(64\pi^2)$ where $g$ is the Feshbach coupling constant and $m$ the mass of the particles. Only when $E_g\gg \epsilon_{\rm F}$ where $\epsilon_{\rm F}$ is the Fermi energy can the gas be expected to enter a universal state in the unitarity limit on the atomic side of the resonance where there are no molecules present. The universal state is distinct from the molecular gas state on the other side of the resonance. We furthermore calculate the energy of the gas for this universal state and our results are related to current experiments on $^{6}$Li and $^{40}$K.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figure

Generic Black-Box End-to-End Attack Against State of the Art API Call Based Malware Classifiers

In this paper, we present a black-box attack against API call based machine learning malware classifiers, focusing on generating adversarial sequences combining API calls and static features (e.g., printable strings) that will be misclassified by the classifier without affecting the malware functionality. We show that this attack is effective against many classifiers due to the transferability principle between RNN variants, feed forward DNNs, and traditional machine learning classifiers such as SVM. We also implement GADGET, a software framework to convert any malware binary to a binary undetected by malware classifiers, using the proposed attack, without access to the malware source code.Comment: Accepted as a conference paper at RAID 201

Limits from Weak Gravity Conjecture on Dark Energy Models

The weak gravity conjecture has been proposed as a criterion to distinguish the landscape from the swampland in string theory. As an application in cosmology of this conjecture, we use it to impose theoretical constraint on parameters of two types of dark energy models. Our analysis indicates that the Chaplygin-gas-type models realized in quintessence field are in the swampland, whereas the $a$ power-low decay model of the variable cosmological constant can be viable but the parameters are tightly constrained by the conjecture.Comment: Revtex4, 8 pages, 5 figures; References, minor corrections in content, and acknowledgement adde

A pseudo-potential analog for zero-range photoassociation and Feshbach resonance

A zero-range approach to atom-molecule coupling is developed in analogy to the Fermi-Huang pseudo-potential treatment of atom-atom interactions. It is shown by explicit comparison to an exactly-solvable finite-range model that replacing the molecular bound-state wavefunction with a regularized delta-function can reproduce the exact scattering amplitude in the long-wavelength limit. Using this approach we find an analytical solution to the two-channel Feshbach resonance problem for two atoms in a spherical harmonic trap

Second-order equation of state with the full Skyrme interaction: toward new effective interactions for beyond mean-field models

In a quantum Fermi system the energy per particle calculated at the second order beyond the mean-field approximation diverges if a zero-range interaction is employed. We have previously analyzed this problem in symmetric nuclear matter by using a simplified nuclear Skyrme interaction, and proposed a strategy to treat such a divergence. In the present work, we extend the same strategy to the case of the full nuclear Skyrme interaction. Moreover we show that, in spite of the strong divergence ($\sim$ $\Lambda^5$, where $\Lambda$ is the momentum cutoff) related to the velocity-dependent terms of the interaction, the adopted cutoff regularization can be always simultaneously performed for both symmetric and nuclear matter with different neutron-to-proton ratio. This paves the way to applications to finite nuclei.Comment: 15 figure

The trispectrum in ghost inflation

We calculate the trispectrum in ghost inflation where both the contact diagram and scale-exchange diagram are taken into account. The shape of trispectrum is discussed carefully and we find that the local form is absent in ghost inflation. In general, for the non-local shape trispectrum there are not analogous parameters to $\tau_{NL}^{loc.}$ and $g_{NL}^{loc.}$ which can completely characterize the size of local form trispectrum.Comment: 19 pages, 8 figures; clarifications and corrections added, version accepted for publication in JCA
