Enumeration of Hypermaps of a Given Genus
This paper addresses the enumeration of rooted and unrooted hypermaps of a
given genus. For rooted hypermaps the enumeration method consists of
considering the more general family of multirooted hypermaps, in which darts
other than the root dart are distinguished. We give functional equations for
the generating series counting multirooted hypermaps of a given genus by number
of darts, vertices, edges, faces and the degrees of the vertices containing the
distinguished darts. We solve these equations to get parametric expressions of
the generating functions of rooted hypermaps of low genus. We also count
unrooted hypermaps of given genus by number of darts, vertices, hyperedges and
faces.Comment: 42 page
Soliton-comb structures in ring-shaped optical microresonators: generation, reconstruction and stability
Characteristic features of soliton-comb structures in optical microresonators
are investigated in normal and anomalous dispersion regimes, when the detuning
parameter is varied over a broad range of values. The study rests on the
assumption that soliton combs are self-organized ensemble of co-propagating
coherently entangled states of light, and depending on the group-velocity
dispersion they can result from space-division multiplexing of single-bright
and single-dark solitons. Their analytical and numerical reconstruction schemes
are discussed, while a linear-stability analysis leads to a Lam\'e
eigenvalue problem whose boundstate spectrum is composed of a Goldstone-type
translation mode and stable internal modes, as well as unstable decaying modes
and growing modes. A power-spectral analysis of the three distinct possible
soliton crystals enables us probe their inner structures in the frequency
domain, and unveil the existence of structural defects in their power spectra.Comment: 19 pages, 9 figures, submitte

The bribery paradox in transition economies and the enactment of ‘new normal’ business environments
We develop a novel, sensemaking perspective on corruption in transition economies. Prior research has focused on understanding why some entrepreneurs are more likely to pay bribes than others. It typically assumes that paying bribes will lead to an intended – albeit unfair – competitive advantage. We challenge this assumption and uncover a bribery paradox: drawing upon sensemaking logic, we argue that beyond gaining an immediate benefit from bribing, entrepreneurs who frequently pay bribes may in the longer run be enacting a ‘new normal’ business environment perceived as high in obstacles, especially in transition countries. As sensemaking is grounded in identity construction and one’s social context, we argue that owners of family firms will be especially vulnerable to the dangers of perceiving greater obstacles over time and enacting an obstacle‐ridden ‘new normal’ business environment. We find empirical support for our framework on a sample of 310 privately‐held small and medium‐sized enterprises (SMEs) from 22 transition economies
Detection of Change--Points in the Spectral Density. With Applications to ECG Data
We propose a new method for estimating the change-points of heart rate in the
orthosympathetic and parasympathetic bands, based on the wavelet transform in
the complex domain and the study of the change-points in the moments of the
modulus of these wavelet transforms. We observe change-points in the
distribution for both bands.Comment: proceeding of the workshop 'Fouille de donn\'ees temporelles et

Narrow-band noise due to the moving vortex lattice in superconducting niobium
We report measurements of voltage noise due to vortex motion in Niobium, a
conventional low-Tc superconductor. A coherent oscillation leading to narrow
band noise (NBN) is evidenced. Its characteristic frequency is a linear
function of the overcritical transport current in the flux-flow regime, and
hence scales as the main velocity of the vortex flow. The associated length
scale is not the intervortex distance but the width of the sample, indicating
temporal coherence at a large scale. NBN is also observed in the non linear
part of the V(I) at the onset of depinning, in apparent disagreement with a
stochastic creep motion of flux bundles. NBN exists in the peak effect region,
showing that long range temporal correlations are preserved in this regime.Comment: accepted for publication in Phys Rev
Relativistic Quasilinear Diffusion in Axisymmetric Magnetic Geometry for Arbitrary-Frequency Electromagnetic Fluctuations
A relativistic bounce-averaged quasilinear diffusion equation is derived to
describe stochastic particle transport associated with arbitrary-frequency
electromagnetic fluctuations in a nonuniform magnetized plasma. Expressions for
the elements of a relativistic quasilinear diffusion tensor are calculated
explicitly for magnetically-trapped particle distributions in axisymmetric
magnetic geometry in terms of gyro-drift-bounce wave-particle resonances. The
resonances can destroy any one of the three invariants of the unperturbed
guiding-center Hamiltonian dynamics.Comment: 22 pages, Latex, to appear in Physics of Plasma
