It is shown that the combinatorics of commutation relations is well suited for analyzing the convergence rate of certain Markov chains. Examples studied include random walk on irreducible representations, a local random walk on partitions whose sta...
A simple method is proposed for determining the masses of new particles in collider events containing a pair of decay chains (not necessarily identical) of the form Z -> Y+1, Y -> X+2, X -> N+3, where 1,2 and 3 are visible but N is not. Initial stu...
Dirt is the second studio album by the American rock band Alice in Chains, released on September 29, 1992, by Columbia Records. It was the band's last
Entanglement entropy (EE) in critical quantum spin chains described by 1+1D conformal field theories contains signatures of the universal characteristics of the field theory. Boundaries and defects in the spin chain give rise to universal contributio...
Anyone find a decent pair of snow chains for the 20" wheels? I usually go to etrailer.com but they just have a pair of cables or a ladder type chain. I prefer the low profile diamond pattern chain tha...
Hello all, noob here. It’s our first time driving up from LA. We know nothing about chains or where to get them. Is this something we should get anywhere specific? How does getting them work? ...
Alice in Chains (often abbreviated as AiC) is an American rock band formed in Seattle in 1987. Since 2006, the band's lineup has consisted of vocalist/guitarists
We study the coordination of actions and the allocation of profit in supply chains under decentralized control in which a single supplier supplies several retailers with goods for replenishment of stocks. The goal of the supplier and the retailers is...
Jun 24, 2025 · Global supply chains face rising geopolitical fragmentation and economic divergence, driving four plausible outlooks, from multilateral cooperation to full degradation.
Every properly colored graph with $χ(G)=k$ colors has edge-disjoint Kempe "backbones", Kempe chains anchored by color-critical vertices for each pair of colors. Certain color permutations arrange these backbones into a clique-like structure, a stren...
Minimal Kitaev chains, composed of two quantum dots (QDs) connected via a superconductor, have emerged as an attractive platform to realize Majorana bound states (MBSs). These excitations exist when the ground state is degenerate. The additional requ...
A huge difference in the harmonic yield from the two topological phases of finite, dimerizing linear chains in laser fields has recently been observed in all-electron time-dependent density functional simulations [D. Bauer, K.K. Hansen, Phys. Rev. Le...
Let G be a 3-dimensional connected Lie group with a left-invariant nondegenerate CR structure. We show that all the chains on G are closed if and only if G is CR equivalent to one of the left-invariant spherical CR structures on SU(2), SO(3) and a qu...
The book "Continuous-Time Markov Chains" by W. J. Anderson collects a large part of the development in the past thirty years. It is now a popular reference for the researchers on this subject or related fields. Unfortunately, due to a misunderstandin...
A numerical approach to the study of equilibrium statistical properties of spin-1/2 XY chains is suggested. The approach is illustrated by the examining of influence of disorder on transverse dynamical susceptibility of spin-1/2 Ising chain in rand...
We give an analogy between non-reversible Markov chains and electric networks much in the flavour of the classical reversible results originating from Kakutani, and later Kemény-Snell-Knapp and Kelly. Non-reversibility is made possible by a voltage...
The dynamics of loop formation by linear polymer chains has been a topic of several theoretical/experimental studies. Formation of loops and their opening are key processes in many important biological processes. Loop formation in flexible chains h...
