The unavoidable arrangements of pseudocircles

It is known that cyclic arrangements are the only {\em unavoidable} simple arrangements of pseudolines: for each fixed $m\ge 1$, every sufficiently large simple arrangement of pseudolines has a cyclic subarrangement of size $m$. In the same spirit, we show that there are three unavoidable arrangements of pseudocircles

On the number of unknot diagrams

Let $D$ be a knot diagram, and let ${\mathcal D}$ denote the set of diagrams that can be obtained from $D$ by crossing exchanges. If $D$ has $n$ crossings, then ${\mathcal D}$ consists of $2^n$ diagrams. A folklore argument shows that at least one of these $2^n$ diagrams is unknot, from which it follows that every diagram has finite unknotting number. It is easy to see that this argument can be used to show that actually ${\mathcal D}$ has more than one unknot diagram, but it cannot yield more than $4n$ unknot diagrams. We improve this linear bound to a superpolynomial bound, by showing that at least $2^{\sqrt[3]{n}}$ of the diagrams in ${\mathcal D}$ are unknot. We also show that either all the diagrams in ${\mathcal D}$ are unknot, or there is a diagram in ${\mathcal D}$ that is a diagram of the trefoil knot

The number radial coherent states for the generalized MICZ-Kepler problem

We study the radial part of the MICZ-Kepler problem in an algebraic way by using the $su(1,1)$ Lie algebra. We obtain the energy spectrum and the eigenfunctions of this problem from the $su(1,1)$ theory of unitary representations and the tilting transformation to the stationary Schr\"odinger equation. We construct the physical Perelomov number coherent states for this problem and compute some expectation values. Also, we obtain the time evolution of these coherent states

Algebraic approach and coherent states for a relativistic quantum particle in cosmic string spacetime

We study a relativistic quantum particle in cosmic string spacetime in the presence of a uniform magnetic field and a Coulomb-type scalar potential. It is shown that the radial part of this problem possesses the $su(1,1)$ symmetry. We obtain the energy spectrum and eigenfunctions of this problem by using two algebraic methods: the Schr\"odinger factorization and the tilting transformation. Finally, we give the explicit form of the relativistic coherent states for this problem.Comment: 21 page

TxPI-u: A Resource for Personality Identification of Undergraduates

Resources such as labeled corpora are necessary to train automatic models within the natural language processing (NLP) field. Historically, a large number of resources regarding a broad number of problems are available mostly in English. One of such problems is known as Personality Identification where based on a psychological model (e.g. The Big Five Model), the goal is to find the traits of a subject's personality given, for instance, a text written by the same subject. In this paper we introduce a new corpus in Spanish called Texts for Personality Identification (TxPI). This corpus will help to develop models to automatically assign a personality trait to an author of a text document. Our corpus, TxPI-u, contains information of 416 Mexican undergraduate students with some demographics information such as, age, gender, and the academic program they are enrolled. Finally, as an additional contribution, we present a set of baselines to provide a comparison scheme for further research

Two-mode generalization of the Jaynes-Cummings and Anti-Jaynes-Cummings models

We introduce two generalizations of the Jaynes-Cummings (JC) model for two modes of oscillation. The first model is formed by two Jaynes-Cummings interactions, while the second model is written as a simultaneous Jaynes-Cummings and Anti-Jaynes-Cummings (AJC) interactions. We study some of its properties and obtain the energy spectrum and eigenfunctions of these models by using the tilting transformation and the Perelomov number coherent states of the two-dimensional harmonic oscillator. Moreover, as physical applications, we connect these new models with two important and novelty problems: The relativistic non-degenerate parametric amplifier and the relativistic problem of two coupled oscillators.Comment: 16 page

SU(1,1)SU(1,1) Approach to Stokes Parameters and the Theory of Light Polarization

We introduce an alternative approach to the polarization theory of light. This is based on a set of quantum operators, constructed from two independent bosons, being three of them the $su(1,1)$ Lie algebra generators, and the other one, the Casimir operator of this algebra. By taking the expectation value of these generators in a two-mode coherent state, their classical limit is obtained. We use these classical quantities to define the new Stokes-like parameters. We show that the light polarization ellipse can be written in terms of the Stokes-like parameters. Also, we write these parameters in terms of other two quantities, and show that they define a one-sheet (Poincar\'e hyperboloid) of a two-sheet hyperboloid. Our study is restricted to the case of a monochromatic plane electromagnetic wave which propagates along the $z$ axis

SU(1,1)SU(1,1) solution for the Dunkl oscillator in two dimensions and its coherent states

We study the Dunkl oscillator in two dimensions by the $su(1,1)$ algebraic method. We apply the Schr\"odinger factorization to the radial Hamiltonian of the Dunkl oscillator to find the $su(1,1)$ Lie algebra generators. The energy spectrum is found by using the theory of unitary irreducible representations. By solving analytically the Schr\"odinger equation, we construct the Sturmian basis for the unitary irreducible representations of the $su(1,1)$ Lie algebra. We construct the $SU(1,1)$ Perelomov radial coherent states for this problem and compute their time evolution.Comment: 14 page

Non-Hermitian inverted Harmonic Oscillator-Type Hamiltonians Generated from Supersymmetry with Reflections

By modifying and generalizing known supersymmetric models we are able to find four different sets of one-dimensional Hamiltonians for the inverted harmonic oscillator. The first set of Hamiltonians is derived by extending the supersymmetric quantum mechanics with reflections to non-Hermitian supercharges. The second set is obtained by generalizing the supersymmetric quantum mechanics valid for non-Hermitian supercharges with the Dunkl derivative instead of $\frac{d}{dx}$. Also, by changing the derivative $\frac{d}{dx}$ by the Dunkl derivative in the creation and annihilation-type operators of the standard inverted Harmonic oscillator $H_{SIO}=-\frac{1}{2}\frac{d^2}{dx^2}-\frac{1}{2}x^2$, we generate the third set of Hamiltonians. The fourth set of Hamiltonians emerges by allowing a parameter of the supersymmetric two-body Calogero-type model to take imaginary values. The eigensolutions of definite parity for each set of Hamiltonians are given

An algebraic approach to a charged particle in an uniform magnetic field

We study the problem of a charged particle in a uniform magnetic field with two different gauges, known as Landau and symmetric gauges. By using a similarity transformation in terms of the displacement operator we show that, for the Landau gauge, the eigenfunctions for this problem are the harmonic oscillator number coherent states. In the symmetric gauge, we calculate the $SU(1,1)$ Perelomov number coherent states for this problem in cylindrical coordinates in a closed form. Finally, we show that these Perelomov number coherent states are related to the harmonic oscillator number coherent states by the contraction of the $SU(1,1)$ group to the Heisenberg-Weyl group.Comment: 11 page
