Elliptic blowup equations for 6d SCFTs. Part II: Exceptional cases
The building blocks of 6d SCFTs include certain rank one theories with gauge group . In this paper, we propose a universal recursion formula for the elliptic genera of all such theories. This formula is solved from the elliptic blowup equations introduced in our previous paper. We explicitly compute the elliptic genera and refined BPS invariants, which recover all previous results from topological string theory, modular bootstrap, Hilbert series, 2d quiver gauge theories and 4d superconformal theories. We also observe an intriguing relation between the -string elliptic genus and the Schur indices of rank SCFTs, as a generalization of Lockhart-Zotto's conjecture at the rank one cases. In a subsequent paper, we deal with all other non-Higgsable clusters with matters
On construction of optimal mixed-level supersaturated designs
Supersaturated design (SSD) has received much recent interest because of its
potential in factor screening experiments. In this paper, we provide equivalent
conditions for two columns to be fully aliased and consequently propose methods
for constructing - and -optimal mixed-level SSDs
without fully aliased columns, via equidistant designs and difference matrices.
The methods can be easily performed and many new optimal mixed-level SSDs have
been obtained. Furthermore, it is proved that the nonorthogonality between
columns of the resulting design is well controlled by the source designs. A
rather complete list of newly generated optimal mixed-level SSDs are tabulated
for practical use.Comment: Published in at http://dx.doi.org/10.1214/11-AOS877 the Annals of

Triaxial projected shell model approach
The projected shell model analysis is carried out using the triaxial
Nilsson+BCS basis. It is demonstrated that, for an accurate description of the
moments of inertia in the transitional region, it is necessary to take the
triaxiality into account and perform the three-dimensional angular-momentum
projection from the triaxial Nilsson+BCS intrinsic wavefunction.Comment: 9 pages, 2 figure
Multi-view Regularized Gaussian Processes
Gaussian processes (GPs) have been proven to be powerful tools in various
areas of machine learning. However, there are very few applications of GPs in
the scenario of multi-view learning. In this paper, we present a new GP model
for multi-view learning. Unlike existing methods, it combines multiple views by
regularizing marginal likelihood with the consistency among the posterior
distributions of latent functions from different views. Moreover, we give a
general point selection scheme for multi-view learning and improve the proposed
model by this criterion. Experimental results on multiple real world data sets
have verified the effectiveness of the proposed model and witnessed the
performance improvement through employing this novel point selection scheme
Kinetics and mechanism of formic acid decomposition on Ru(001)
The steady-state rate of decomposition of formic acid on
Ru(001) has been measured as a function of surface temperature, parametric in the pressure of formic acid. The
products of the decomposition reaction are C0_2, H_2, CO,
and H_2)0, i.e., both dehydrogenation and dehydration occur
on Ru (001). A similar product distribution has been observed on Ni(110), Ni(100), Ru(100), Fe(100), and
Ni(111) surfaces; whereas only dehydrogenation to C0_2
and H_2 occurs on the Cu(100), Cu(110), and Pt(111)
surfaces. Only reversible adsorption and desorption of formic acid is observed on the less reactive Ag(110) surface at low temperatures, whereas the more reactive Mo(100) surface is oxidized by formic acid at low temperatures with the products of this reaction being H_2, CO, and H_(2)O (Ref. 10). We report here the confirmation of earlier observations of the occurrence of both dehydrogenation and dehydration of formic acid on Ru(001), and more importantly, we provide a detailed mechanistic description of the steady-state decomposition reaction on this surface in terms of elementary steps
Nearly Antiferromagnetic Fermi Liquids: A Progress Report
I describe recent theoretical and experimental progress in understanding the
physical properties of the two dimensional nearly antiferromagnetic Fermi
liquids (NAFL's) found in the normal state of the cuprate superconductors. In
such NAFL's, the magnetic interaction between planar quasiparticles is strong
and peaked at or near the commensurate wave vector, . For
the optimally doped and underdoped systems, the resulting strong
antiferromagnetic correlations produce three distinct magnetic phases in the
normal state: mean field above , pseudoscaling between and
, and pseudogap below . I present arguments which suggest that the
physical origin of the pseudogap found in the quasiparticle spectrum below
is the formation of a precursor to a spin-density-wave-state, describe
the calculations based on this scenario of the dynamical spin susceptibility,
Fermi surface evolution, transport, and Hall effect, and summarize the
experimental evidence in its support.Comment: LATEX + PS figures. To appear in the proceedings of the
