Cluster algebras in scattering amplitudes with special 2D kinematics

We study the cluster algebra of the kinematic configuration space $Conf_n(\mathbb{P}^3)$ of a n-particle scattering amplitude restricted to the special 2D kinematics. We found that the n-points two loop MHV remainder function found in special 2D kinematics depend on a selection of \XX-coordinates that are part of a special structure of the cluster algebra related to snake triangulations of polygons. This structure forms a necklace of hypercubes beads in the corresponding Stasheff polytope. Furthermore in $n = 12$, the cluster algebra and the selection of \XX-coordinates in special 2D kinematics replicates the cluster algebra and the selection of \XX-coordinates of $n=6$ two loop MHV amplitude in 4D kinematics.Comment: 22 page

Finite size scaling of the bayesian perceptron

We study numerically the properties of the bayesian perceptron through a gradient descent on the optimal cost function. The theoretical distribution of stabilities is deduced. It predicts that the optimal generalizer lies close to the boundary of the space of (error-free) solutions. The numerical simulations are in good agreement with the theoretical distribution. The extrapolation of the generalization error to infinite input space size agrees with the theoretical results. Finite size corrections are negative and exhibit two different scaling regimes, depending on the training set size. The variance of the generalization error vanishes for $N \rightarrow \infty$ confirming the property of self-averaging.Comment: RevTeX, 7 pages, 7 figures, submitted to Phys. Rev.

Wave number-Explicit Analysis for Galerkin Discretizations of Lossy Helmholtz Problems

We present a stability and convergence theory for the lossy Helmholtz equation and its Galerkin discretization. The boundary conditions are of Robin type. All estimates are explicit with respect to the real and imaginary part of the complex wave number $\zeta\in\mathbb{C}$, $\operatorname{Re}\zeta\geq0$, $\left\vert \zeta\right\vert \geq1$. For the extreme cases $\zeta \in\operatorname*{i}\mathbb{R}$ and $\zeta\in\mathbb{R}_{\geq0}$, the estimates coincide with the existing estimates in the literature and exhibit a seamless transition between these cases in the right complex half plane.Comment: 29 pages, 1 figur
