Impartial Selection with Additive Guarantees via Iterated Deletion

Kavli Affiliate: Felix Fischer | First 5 Authors: Javier Cembrano, Felix Fischer, David Hannon, Max Klimm, | Summary: Impartial selection is the selection of an individual from a group based on nominations by other members of the group, in such a way that individuals cannot influence their own chance of selection. For this problem, we […]

The Quadruple Image Configurations of Asymptotically Circular Gravitational Lenses

Kavli Affiliate: Paul L. Schechter | First 5 Authors: Chirag Falor, Paul L. Schechter, , , | Summary: The quadruple image configurations of gravitational lenses with vanishing ellipticity are examined. Even though such lenses asymptotically approach circularity, the configurations are stable if the position of the source relative to the vanishing diamond caustic is held […]

Hermitian Nonlinear Wave Mixing Controlled by a PT-Symmetric Phase Transition

Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey Moses | First 5 Authors: Noah Flemens, Jeffrey Moses, , , | Summary: While non-Hermitian systems are normally constructed through incoherent coupling to a larger environment, recent works have shown that under certain conditions coherent couplings can be used to similar effect. We show that this new paradigm enables the behavior associated […]
