General CPT-even dimension-five nonminimal couplings between fermions and photons yielding EDM and MDM
In this letter, we examine a new class of CPT-even nonminimal interactions,
between fermions and photons, deprived of higher order derivatives, that yields
electric dipole moment (EDM) and magnetic dipole moment (MDM) in the context of
the Dirac equation. The couplings are dimension-five CPT-even and
Lorentz-violating nonminimal structures, composed of a rank-2 tensor,
, the electromagnetic tensor, and gamma matrices, being addressed
in its axial and non-axial Hermitian versions, and also comprising general
possibilities. We then use the electron's anomalous magnetic dipole moment and
electron electric dipole moment measurements to reach upper bounds of part
in and (eV )
Integrability and Disorder in Mesoscopic Systems: Application to Orbital Magnetism
We present a semiclassical theory of weak disorder effects in small
structures and apply it to the magnetic response of non-interacting electrons
confined in integrable geometries. We discuss the various averaging procedures
describing different experimental situations in terms of one- and two-particle
Green functions. We demonstrate that the anomalously large zero-field
susceptibility characteristic of clean integrable structures is only weakly
suppressed by disorder. This damping depends on the ratio of the typical size
of the structure with the two characteristic length scales describing the
disorder (elastic mean-free-path and correlation length of the potential) in a
power-law form for the experimentally relevant parameter region. We establish
the comparison with the available experimental data and we extend the study of
the interplay between disorder and integrability to finite magnetic fields.Comment: 38 pages, Latex, 7 Postscript figures, 1 table, to appear in Jour.

Consistent discretizations: the Gowdy spacetimes
We apply the consistent discretization scheme to general relativity
particularized to the Gowdy space-times. This is the first time the framework
has been applied in detail in a non-linear generally-covariant gravitational
situation with local degrees of freedom. We show that the scheme can be
correctly used to numerically evolve the space-times. We show that the
resulting numerical schemes are convergent and preserve approximately the
constraints as expected.Comment: 10 pages, 8 figure
A Novel Side-Channel in Real-Time Schedulers
We demonstrate the presence of a novel scheduler side-channel in preemptive,
fixed-priority real-time systems (RTS); examples of such systems can be found
in automotive systems, avionic systems, power plants and industrial control
systems among others. This side-channel can leak important timing information
such as the future arrival times of real-time tasks.This information can then
be used to launch devastating attacks, two of which are demonstrated here (on
real hardware platforms). Note that it is not easy to capture this timing
information due to runtime variations in the schedules, the presence of
multiple other tasks in the system and the typical constraints (e.g.,
deadlines) in the design of RTS. Our ScheduLeak algorithms demonstrate how to
effectively exploit this side-channel. A complete implementation is presented
on real operating systems (in Real-time Linux and FreeRTOS). Timing information
leaked by ScheduLeak can significantly aid other, more advanced, attacks in
better accomplishing their goals
