    Flat space compressible fluid as holographic dual of black hole with curved horizon

    Full text link
    We consider the fluid dual of (d+2)(d+2)-dimensional vacuum Einstein equation either with or without a cosmological constant. The background solutions admit black hole event horizons and the spatial sections of the horizons are conformally flat. Therefore, a dd-dimensional flat Euclidean space Ed\mathbb{E}^d is contained in the conformal class of the spatial section of the black hole horizon. A compressible, forced, stationary and viscous fluid system can be constructed on the product (Newtonian) spacetime RĂ—Ed\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{E}^d as the lowest order fluctuation modes around such black hole background. This construction provides the first example of holographic duality which is beyond the class of bulk/boundary correspondence.Comment: 14 pages. V3: error corrections. To appear in JHE

    Fluids and vortex from constrained fluctuations around C-metric black hole

    Full text link
    By foliating the four-dimensional C-metric black hole spacetime, we consider a kind of initial-value-like formulation of the vacuum Einstein's equation, the holographic initial data is a double consisting of the induced metric and the Brown-York energy momentum tensor on an arbitrary initial hypersurface. Then by perturbing the initial data that generates the background spacetime, it is shown that, in an appropriate limit, the fluctuation modes are governed by the continuity equation and the compressible Navier-Stokes equation which describe the momentum transport in non-relativistic viscous fluid on a flat Newtonian space. It turns out that the flat space fluid behaves as a pure vortex and the viscosity to entropy ratio is subjected to the black hole acceleration.Comment: 19 pages, LaTeX. v2: added a new reference. v3: major revisio

    Dynamics of the sub-Ohmic spin-boson model: a time-dependent variational study

    Full text link
    The Dirac-Frenkel time-dependent variation is employed to probe the dynamics of the zero temperature sub-Ohmic spin-boson model with strong friction utilizing the Davydov D1 ansatz. It is shown that initial conditions of the phonon bath have considerable influence on the dynamics. Counterintuitively, even in the very strong coupling regime, quantum coherence features still manage to survive under the polarized bath initial condition, while such features are absent under the factorized bath initial condition. In addition, a coherent-incoherent transition is found at a critical coupling strength alpha ~ 0.1 for s=0.25 under the factorized bath initial condition. We quantify how faithfully our ansatz follows the Schr\"{o}dinger equation, finding that the time-dependent variational approach is robust for strong dissipation and deep sub-Ohmic baths (s<<1).Comment: 8 pages, 6 figure

    Fast and Accurate Neural Word Segmentation for Chinese

    Full text link
    Neural models with minimal feature engineering have achieved competitive performance against traditional methods for the task of Chinese word segmentation. However, both training and working procedures of the current neural models are computationally inefficient. This paper presents a greedy neural word segmenter with balanced word and character embedding inputs to alleviate the existing drawbacks. Our segmenter is truly end-to-end, capable of performing segmentation much faster and even more accurate than state-of-the-art neural models on Chinese benchmark datasets.Comment: To appear in ACL201

    A Synergic Neuro-Fuzzy Evaluation System in Cultural Intelligence

    Get PDF
    In today’s age of globalization, cultural awareness has become a challenge for designers of tutoring systems to include the cultural dimension in the tutoring strategy and in the learning environment. Nevertheless, cultural awareness is also a domain to be learned by a student, and a competency that can be assessed. Research on cultural intelligence has provided a new perspective and presented a new way to alleviate issues arising from cross-cultural education. To date, no research on cultural intelligence has been empirically computerized with soft-computing technology. This research aims to invent a cultural intelligence computational model and to implement the model in an expert system through the use of artificial intelligence technology. The purpose of this study is to provide intercultural training for individuals to solve the intercultural adaptation problems they may be faced with in a variety of authentic crosscultural situations

    A Second-Order Sliding Mode Controller Design for Spacecraft Tracking Control

    For spacecraft attitude tracking system, there exists the chattering phenomenon. In this paper, the spacecraft motion is decomposed into three-channel subsystems, and a second-order sliding mode control is proposed. This method has been proved to have good convergence and robustness. Combined with the proposed sliding surface, the three-channel controllers are designed. The control performance is confirmed by the simulation results, the approaching process is improved effectively, and a smooth transition is achieved without overshoot and buffeting
