Frequency Evolution of Neutron Peaks Below Tc: Commensurate and Incommensurate Structure in LaSrCuO and YBaCuO
We study the evolution of the neutron cross-section with variable frequency
and fixed below in two different cuprate families. Our
calculations, which predominantly probe the role of d-wave pairing, lead to
generic features, independent of Fermi surface shapes. Among our findings,
reasonably consistent with experiment, are (i) for near the gap
energy , both optimal {LaSrCuO} and slightly underdoped YBCO exhibit
(comparably) incommensurate peaks (ii) peak sharpening below is seen in
{LaSrCuO}, (iii) quite generically, a frequency evolution from incommensurate
to commensurate and then back to incommensurate structure is found with
increasing . Due to their narrow regime of stability,
commensurate peaks in {LaSrCuO} should be extremely difficult to observe.Comment: RevTex 5pages, 4figures; Manuscript rewritten, figures revised, and

Commensurate and Incommensurate Structure of the Neutron Cross Section in LaSrCuO and YBaCuO
We study the evolution of the d-wave neutron cross-section with variable
frequency \omega and fixed T (below and above Tc) in two different cuprate
families. The evolution from incommensurate to commensurate to incommensurate
peaks is rather generic within an RPA-like scheme. This behavior seems to be in
reasonable accord with experiments, and may help distinguish between this and
the "stripe" scenario.Comment: 2 pages; submitted to Proceedings of M2S-HTSC-V
Learning Active Basis Models by EM-Type Algorithms
EM algorithm is a convenient tool for maximum likelihood model fitting when
the data are incomplete or when there are latent variables or hidden states. In
this review article we explain that EM algorithm is a natural computational
scheme for learning image templates of object categories where the learning is
not fully supervised. We represent an image template by an active basis model,
which is a linear composition of a selected set of localized, elongated and
oriented wavelet elements that are allowed to slightly perturb their locations
and orientations to account for the deformations of object shapes. The model
can be easily learned when the objects in the training images are of the same
pose, and appear at the same location and scale. This is often called
supervised learning. In the situation where the objects may appear at different
unknown locations, orientations and scales in the training images, we have to
incorporate the unknown locations, orientations and scales as latent variables
into the image generation process, and learn the template by EM-type
algorithms. The E-step imputes the unknown locations, orientations and scales
based on the currently learned template. This step can be considered
self-supervision, which involves using the current template to recognize the
objects in the training images. The M-step then relearns the template based on
the imputed locations, orientations and scales, and this is essentially the
same as supervised learning. So the EM learning process iterates between
recognition and supervised learning. We illustrate this scheme by several
experiments.Comment: Published in at http://dx.doi.org/10.1214/09-STS281 the Statistical

Hall of Fame Scientists: Exploring identity through the examples of famous scientists using biology and English
In the Hall of Fame Scientists Unit, we hope introduce to students the concept of success and practice skills they will need for the rest of their high school career. The interdisciplinary unit is meant for ninth graders taking biology and English I. The unit concentrates on foundational writing skills: properly formatted paragraph (A.P.E.), citing scholarly sources, and research. Students should also communicate and apply scientific information extracted from various sources. We hope that after this unit, students will be able to independently recognize different perspectives, develop a cross-cultural understanding of what it means to be young, develop a growth mindset, and recognize the different avenues to success. We approached these transfer goals through a 6 day unit (of 90 minute block classes), in which we taught students skills through a research project. The unit concludes with students presenting a famous scientist’s journey to success, focusing on their years of adolescence and their identity
Torsion Vanishing for Some Shimura Varieties
We generalize the torsion vanishing results of Caraiani-Scholze and
Koshikawa. Our results apply to the cohomology of general Shimura varieties
of PEL type or , localized at a suitable maximal ideal
in the spherical Hecke algebra at primes such that
is a group for which we know the Fargues-Scholze
local Langlands correspondence is the semi-simplification of a suitably nice
local Langlands correspondence. This is accomplished by combining Koshikawa's
technique, the theory of geometric Eisenstein series over the Fargues-Fontaine
curve, the work of Santos describing the structure of the fibers of the
minimally and toroidally compactified Hodge-Tate period morphism for general
PEL type Shimura varieties of type or , and ideas developed by Zhang on
comparing Hecke correspondences on the moduli stack of -bundles with the
cohomology of Shimura varieties. In the process, we also establish a
description of the generic part of the cohomology that bears resemblance to the
work of Xiao-Zhu. Moreover, we also construct a filtration on the compactly
supported cohomology that differs from Manotovan's filtration in the case that
the Shimura variety is non-compact, allowing us to circumvent some of the
circumlocutions taken by Cariani-Scholze. Our method showcases a very general
strategy for proving such torsion vanishing results, and should bear even more
fruit once the inputs are generalized. Motivated by this, we formulate an even
more general torsion vanishing conjecture
Study Majorana Neutrino Contribution to B-meson Semi-leptonic Rare Decays
B meson semi-leptonic rare decays are sensitive to new physics beyond
standard model. We study the process and
investigate the Majorana neutrino contribution to its decay width. The
constraints on the Majorana neutrino mass and mixing parameter are obtained
from this decay channel with the latest LHCb data. Utilizing the best fit for
the parameters, we study the lepton number violating decay , and find its branching ratio is about
, which is consistent with the LHCb data reported recently.Comment: 10 pages, 3 figure
