    Complexity growth rates for AdS black holes in massive gravity and f(R)f(R) gravity

    Full text link
    The "complexity = action" duality states that the quantum complexity is equal to the action of the stationary AdS black holes within the Wheeler-DeWitt patch at late time approximation. We compute the action growth rates of the neutral and charged black holes in massive gravity and the neutral, charged and Kerr-Newman black holes in f(R)f(R) gravity to test this conjecture. Besides, we investigate the effects of the massive graviton terms, higher derivative terms and the topology of the black hole horizon on the complexity growth rate.Comment: 11 pages, no figur

    Inferring Mobile Payment Passcodes Leveraging Wearable Devices

    Mobile payment has drawn considerable attention due to its convenience of paying via personal mobile devices at anytime and anywhere, and passcodes (i.e., PINs) are the first choice of most consumers to authorize the payment. This work demonstrates a serious security breach and aims to raise the awareness of the public that the passcodes for authorizing transactions in mobile payments can be leaked by exploiting the embedded sensors in wearable devices (e.g., smartwatches). We present a passcode inference system, which examines to what extent the user's PIN during mobile payment could be revealed from a single wrist-worn wearable device under different input scenarios involving either two hands or a single hand. Extensive experiments with 15 volunteers demonstrate that an adversary is able to recover a user's PIN with high success rate within 5 tries under various input scenarios

    Pentaquark states with the QQQqqˉQQQq\bar{q} configuration in a simple model

    Full text link
    We discuss the mass splittings for the SS-wave triply heavy pentaquark states with the QQQqqˉQQQq\bar{q} (Q=b,c;q=u,d,s)(Q=b,c;q=u,d,s) configuration which is a mirror structure of QQˉqqqQ\bar{Q}qqq. The latter configuration is related with the nature of Pc(4380)P_c(4380) observed by the LHCb Collaboration. The considered pentaquark masses are roughly estimated with a simple method. One finds that such states are probably not narrow even if they do exist. This leaves room for molecule interpretation for a state around the low-lying threshold of a doubly heavy baryon and a heavy-light meson, e.g. ΞccD\Xi_{cc}D, if it were observed. As a by product, we conjecture that upper limits for the masses of the conventional triply heavy baryons can be determined by the masses of the conventional doubly heavy baryons.Comment: 19 pages, 1 figure, 10 tables; Version accepted by Eur.
