Reliability of genetic networks is evolvable
Control of the living cell functions with remarkable reliability despite the
stochastic nature of the underlying molecular networks -- a property presumably
optimized by biological evolution. We here ask to what extent the property of a
stochastic dynamical network to produce reliable dynamics is an evolvable
trait. Using an evolutionary algorithm based on a deterministic selection
criterion for the reliability of dynamical attractors, we evolve dynamical
networks of noisy discrete threshold nodes. We find that, starting from any
random network, reliability of the attractor landscape can often be achieved
with only few small changes to the network structure. Further, the evolvability
of networks towards reliable dynamics while retaining their function is
investigated and a high success rate is found.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figure
Double diffractive rho-production in gamma^* gamma^* collisions
We present a first estimate of the cross-section for the exclusive process
gamma^*_L (Q_1^2) gamma^*_L(Q_2^2) -> rho^0_L rho^0_L, which will be studied in
the future high energy e^+ e^- linear collider. As a first step, we calculate
the Born order approximation of the amplitude for longitudinally polarized
virtual photons and mesons, in the kinematical region s >> -t, Q_1^2, Q_2^2.
This process is completely calculable in the hard region Q_1^2, Q_2^2 >>
Lambda^2_{QCD}. We perform most of the steps in an analytical way. The
resulting cross-section turns out to be large enough for this process to be
measurable with foreseen luminosity and energy, for Q_1^2 and Q_2^2 in the
range of a few GeV^2.Comment: 25 pages, 5 figures. Published version in EPJC. Minor changes and

The C-Odd Four-Gluon State in the Color Glass Condensate
The study of the perturbative Odderon at high gluon densities in the color
glass condensate requires to take into account states with more than three
gluons. We formulate evolution equations for these states in which the number
of gluons is not fixed during the evolution. We further determine the coupling
of these Odderon states to the gamma to eta_c impact factor for arbitrary
numbers of gluons. We find an exact solution of the evolution equation for the
four-gluon Odderon state in terms of the three-gluon Odderon state. It is shown
that a similar solution exists also for a different class of Odderon solutions
which does not couple to the gamma to eta_c impact factor. We discuss the
implications of our result from the perspective of constructing an effective
field theory of reggeized gluons for the color glass condensate.Comment: 32 pages; v2: references, comments and one equation adde
at very high energy
The next generation of -colliders will offer a possibility of clean
testing of QCD dynamics in the Regge limit. Recent progress in the theoretical
description of exclusive processes permits for many of them a consistent use of
the perturbative QCD methods.
We advocate that the exclusive diffractive production of two mesons
from virtual photons at very high energies should be measurable at the future
linear collider (LC).Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, talk given at the conference Baryon 0
