Data Modeling with Large Random Matrices in a Cognitive Radio Network Testbed: Initial Experimental Demonstrations with 70 Nodes

This short paper reports some initial experimental demonstrations of the theoretical framework: the massive amount of data in the large-scale cognitive radio network can be naturally modeled as (large) random matrices. In particular, using experimental data we will demonstrate that the empirical spectral distribution of the large sample covariance matrix---a Hermitian random matrix---agree with its theoretical distribution (Marchenko-Pastur law). On the other hand, the eigenvalues of the large data matrix ---a non-Hermitian random matrix---are experimentally found to follow the single ring law, a theoretical result that has been discovered relatively recently. To our best knowledge, our paper is the first such attempt, in the context of large-scale wireless network, to compare theoretical predictions with experimental findings.Comment: 4 pages, 11 figure

Reply to "Comment on 'Semiquantum-key distribution using less than four quantum states' "

Recently Boyer and Mor pointed out the first conclusion of Lemma 1 in our original paper is not correct, and therefore, the proof of Theorem 5 based on Lemma 1 is wrong. Furthermore, they gave a direct proof for Theorem 5 and affirmed the conclusions in our original paper. In this reply, we admit the first conclusion of Lemma 1 is not correct, but we need to point out the second conclusion of Lemma 1 is correct. Accordingly, all the proofs for Lemma 2, Lemma 3, and Theorems 3--6 are only based on the the second conclusion of Lemma 1 and therefore are correct.Comment: 1 pag

Fragmentation, NRQCD and Factorization in Heavy Quarkonium Production

We discuss factorization in heavy quarkonium production in high energy collisions using NRQCD. Infrared divergences at NNLO are not matched by conventional NRQCD matrix elements. However, we show that gauge invariance and factorization require that conventional NRQCD production matrix elements be modified to include Wilson lines or non-abelian gauge links. With this modification NRQCD factorization for heavy quarkonium production is restored at NNLO.Comment: 3pages Latex, 3eps figures, Talk given by G. C.

NRQCD Factorization and Velocity-dependence of NNLO Poles in Heavy Quarkonium Production

We study the transition of a heavy quark pair from octet to singlet color configurations at next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in heavy quarkonium production. We show that the infrared singularities in this process are consistent with NRQCD factorization to all orders in the heavy quark relative velocity v. This factorization requires the gauge-completed matrix elements that we introduced previously to prove NNLO factorization to order v ^2.Comment: 23pages latex, 2 figure
