Localization of quantum states and landscape functions [PDF]

Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society, 2017
Eigenfunctions in inhomogeneous media can have strong localization properties. Filoche and Mayboroda showed that the function u u solving ( − Δ + V ) u = 1 (-\Delta + V)u = 1 controls the behavior of eigenfunctions ( − Δ +

Evolutionary divergence in CTCF-mediated chromatin topology drives transcriptional innovation in humans

Nature Communications
Chromatin topology can impact gene regulation, but how evolutionary divergence in chromatin topology has shaped gene regulatory landscapes for distinctive human traits remains poorly understood.

Group A Streptococcal S Protein Utilizes Red Blood Cells as Immune Camouflage and Is a Critical Determinant for Immune Evasion. [PDF]

, 2019
Group A Streptococcus (GAS) is a human-specific pathogen that evades the host immune response through the elaboration of multiple virulence factors. Although many of these factors have been studied, numerous proteins encoded by the GAS genome are of ...

Freezing Transition, Characteristic Polynomials of Random Matrices, and the Riemann Zeta-Function

, 2012
We argue that the freezing transition scenario, previously explored in the statistical mechanics of 1/f-noise random energy models, also determines the value distribution of the maximum of the modulus of the characteristic polynomials of large N x N ...

Measuring the Evolvability Landscape to study Neutrality [PDF]

, 2006
This theoretical work defines the measure of autocorrelation of evolvability in the context of neutral fitness landscape. This measure has been studied on the classical MAX-SAT problem.

Optimizing One Million Variable NK Landscapes by Hybridizing Deterministic Recombination and Local Search [PDF]

, 2017
In gray-box optimization, the search algorithms have access to the variable interaction graph (VIG) of the optimization problem. For Mk Landscapes (and NK Landscapes) we can use the VIG to identify an improving solution in the Hamming neighborhood in ...

Sampling from Rough Energy Landscapes [PDF]

, 1905
We examine challenges to sampling from Boltzmann distributions associated with multiscale energy landscapes. The multiscale features, or "roughness," corresponds to highly oscillatory, but bounded, perturbations of a smooth landscape.

Energy landscapes, lowest gaps, and susceptibility of elastic manifolds at zero temperature

, 2001
We study the effect of an external field on (1+1) and (2+1) dimensional elastic manifolds, at zero temperature and with random bond disorder. Due to the glassy energy landscape the configuration of a manifold changes often in abrupt, ``first order ...
