Three-point correlators from string amplitudes: Mixing and Regge spins
This paper has two parts. We first compute the leading contribution to the
strong-coupling mixing between the Konishi operator and a double-trace operator
composed of chiral primaries by using flat-space vertex operators for the
string-duals of the operators. We then compute the three-point functions for
protected or unprotected scalar operators with higher spin operators on the
leading Regge trajectory. Here we see that the nontrivial spatial structures
required by conformal invariance arise naturally from the form of the
polarization tensors in the vertex operators. We find agreement with recent
results extracted from Mellin amplitudes for four-point functions, as well as
with earlier supergravity calculations. We also obtain some new results for
other combinations of operators.Comment: v3: corrected numerical factor and other minor change
An LP-Based Approach for Goal Recognition as Planning
Goal recognition aims to recognize the set of candidate goals that are
compatible with the observed behavior of an agent. In this paper, we develop a
method based on the operator-counting framework that efficiently computes
solutions that satisfy the observations and uses the information generated to
solve goal recognition tasks. Our method reasons explicitly about both partial
and noisy observations: estimating uncertainty for the former, and satisfying
observations given the unreliability of the sensor for the latter. We evaluate
our approach empirically over a large data set, analyzing its components on how
each can impact the quality of the solutions. In general, our approach is
superior to previous methods in terms of agreement ratio, accuracy, and spread.
Finally, our approach paves the way for new research on combinatorial
optimization to solve goal recognition tasks.Comment: 8 pages, 4 tables, 3 figures. Published in AAAI 2021. Updated final

How hole defects modify vortex dynamics in ferromagnetic nanodisks
Defects introduced in ferromagnetic nanodisks may deeply affect the structure
and dynamics of stable vortex-like magnetization. Here, analytical techniques
are used for studying, among other dynamical aspects, how a small cylindrical
cavity modify the oscillatory modes of the vortex. For instance, we have
realized that if the vortex is nucleated out from the hole its gyrotropic
frequencies are shifted below. Modifications become even more pronounced when
the vortex core is partially or completely captured by the hole. In these
cases, the gyrovector can be partially or completely suppressed, so that the
associated frequencies increase considerably, say, from some times to several
powers. Possible relevance of our results for understanding other aspects of
vortex dynamics in the presence of cavities and/or structural defects are also
discussed.Comment: 9 pages, 4 page
