Perturbing Around A Warped Product Of AdS_4 and Seven-Ellipsoid
We compute the spin-2 Kaluza-Klein modes around a warped product of AdS_4 and
a seven-ellipsoid. This background with global G_2 symmetry is related to a
U(N) x U(N) N=1 superconformal Chern-Simons matter theory with sixth order
superpotential. The mass-squared in AdS_4 is quadratic in G_2 quantum number
and KK excitation number. We determine the dimensions of spin-2 operators using
the AdS/CFT correspondence. The connection to N=2 theory preserving SU(3) x
U(1)_R is also discussed.Comment: 21pp; The second and last paragraphs of section 2, the footnotes 1

Supersymmetric Reflection Matrices
We briefly review the general structure of integrable particle theories in
1+1 dimensions having N=1 supersymmetry. Examples are specific perturbed
superconformal field theories (of Yang-Lee type) and the N=1 supersymmetric
sine-Gordon theory. We comment on the modifications that are required when the
N=1 supersymmetry algebra contains non-trivial topological charges.Comment: 7 pages, Revtex, 2 figures, talk given at the International Seminar

Maximum Matching in Turnstile Streams
We consider the unweighted bipartite maximum matching problem in the one-pass
turnstile streaming model where the input stream consists of edge insertions
and deletions. In the insertion-only model, a one-pass -approximation
streaming algorithm can be easily obtained with space , where
denotes the number of vertices of the input graph. We show that no such result
is possible if edge deletions are allowed, even if space is
granted, for every . Specifically, for every , we show that in the one-pass turnstile streaming model, in order to compute
a -approximation, space is
required for constant error randomized algorithms, and, up to logarithmic
factors, space is sufficient. Our lower bound result is
proved in the simultaneous message model of communication and may be of
independent interest
Supersymmetry Breaking Vacua from M Theory Fivebranes
We consider intersecting brane configurations realizing N=2 supersymmetric
gauge theories broken to N=1 by multitrace superpotentials, and softly to N=0.
We analyze, in the framework of M5-brane wrapping a curve, the supersymmetric
vacua and the analogs of spontaneous supersymmetry breaking and soft
supersymmetry breaking in gauge theories. We show that the M5-brane does not
exhibit the analog of metastable spontaneous supersymmetry breaking, and does
not have non-holomorphic minimal volume curves with holomorphic boundary
conditions. However, we find that any point in the N=2 moduli space can be
rotated to a non-holomorphic minimal volume curve, whose boundary conditions
break supersymmetry. We interpret these as the analogs of soft supersymmetry
breaking vacua in the gauge theory.Comment: 32 pages, 8 figures, harvmac; v2: corrections in eq. 3.6 and in

Charge carrier induced lattice strain and stress effects on As activation in Si
We studied lattice expansion coefficient due to As using density functional
theory with particular attention to separating the impact of electrons and
ions. Based on As deactivation mechanism under equilibrium conditions, the
effect of stress on As activation is predicted. We find that biaxial stress
results in minimal impact on As activation, which is consistent with
experimental observations by Sugii et al. [J. Appl. Phys. 96, 261 (2004)] and
Bennett et al.[J. Vac. Sci. Tech. B 26, 391 (2008)]
Quantum error correction for continuously detected errors with any number of error channels per qubit
It was shown by Ahn, Wiseman, and Milburn [PRA {\bf 67}, 052310 (2003)] that
feedback control could be used as a quantum error correction process for errors
induced by weak continuous measurement, given one perfectly measured error
channel per qubit. Here we point out that this method can be easily extended to
an arbitrary number of error channels per qubit. We show that the feedback
protocols generated by our method encode logical qubits in physical
qubits, thus requiring just one more physical qubit than in the previous case.Comment: 4 page
