    In the present paper we construct all typical finite-dimensional representations of the quantum Lie superalgebra Uq[gl(2/2)]U_{q}[gl(2/2)] at generic deformation parameter qq. As in the non-deformed case the finite-dimensional Uq[gl(2/2)]U_{q}[gl(2/2)]-module WqW^{q} obtained is irreducible and can be decomposed into finite-dimensional irreducible Uq[gl(2)gl(2)]U_{q}[gl(2)\oplus gl(2)]-submodules VkqV^{q}_{k}Comment: published version.

    Effective Magnetic Monopoles and Universal Conductance Fluctuations

    Full text link
    The observation of isolated positive and negative charges, but not isolated magnetic north and south poles, is an old puzzle. Instead, evidence of effective magnetic monopoles has been found in the abstract momentum space. Apart from Hall-related effects, few observable consequences of these abstract monopoles are known. Here, we show that it is possible to manipulate the monopoles by external magnetic fields and probe them by universal conductance fluctuation (UCF) measurements in ferromagnets with strong spin-orbit coupling. The observed fluctuations are not noise, but reproducible quasiperiodic oscillations as a function of magnetisation direction, a novel Berry phase fingerprint of the magnetic monopoles.Comment: Final version accepted by Physical Review Letter

    Finite-Dimensional Representations of the Quantum Superalgebra Uq_{q}[gl(2/2)]: II. Nontypical representations at generic qq

    Full text link
    The construction approach proposed in the previous paper Ref. 1 allows us there and in the present paper to construct at generic deformation parameter qq all finite--dimensional representations of the quantum Lie superalgebra Uq[gl(2/2)]U_{q}[gl(2/2)]. The finite--dimensional Uq[gl(2/2)]U_{q}[gl(2/2)]-modules WqW^{q} constructed in Ref. 1 are either irreducible or indecomposible. If a module WqW^{q} is indecomposible, i.e. when the condition (4.41) in Ref. 1 does not hold, there exists an invariant maximal submodule of WqW^{q}, to say IkqI_{k}^{q}, such that the factor-representation in the factor-module Wq/IkqW^{q}/I_{k}^{q} is irreducible and called nontypical. Here, in this paper, indecomposible representations and nontypical finite--dimensional representations of the quantum Lie superalgebra Uq[gl(2/2)]U_{q}[gl(2/2)] are considered and classified as their module structures are analized and the matrix elements of all nontypical representations are written down explicitly.Comment: Latex file, 49 page

    Irreducible representations of Upq[gl(2/2)]

    Full text link
    The two-parametric quantum superalgebra Upq[gl(2/2)]U_{pq}[gl(2/2)] and its representations are considered. All finite-dimensional irreducible representations of this quantum superalgebra can be constructed and classified into typical and nontypical ones according to a proposition proved in the present paper. This proposition is a nontrivial deformation from the one for the classical superalgebra gl(2/2), unlike the case of one-parametric deformations.Comment: Latex, 8 pages. A reference added in v.

    Deceiving Google's Cloud Video Intelligence API Built for Summarizing Videos

    Full text link
    Despite the rapid progress of the techniques for image classification, video annotation has remained a challenging task. Automated video annotation would be a breakthrough technology, enabling users to search within the videos. Recently, Google introduced the Cloud Video Intelligence API for video analysis. As per the website, the system can be used to "separate signal from noise, by retrieving relevant information at the video, shot or per frame" level. A demonstration website has been also launched, which allows anyone to select a video for annotation. The API then detects the video labels (objects within the video) as well as shot labels (description of the video events over time). In this paper, we examine the usability of the Google's Cloud Video Intelligence API in adversarial environments. In particular, we investigate whether an adversary can subtly manipulate a video in such a way that the API will return only the adversary-desired labels. For this, we select an image, which is different from the video content, and insert it, periodically and at a very low rate, into the video. We found that if we insert one image every two seconds, the API is deceived into annotating the video as if it only contained the inserted image. Note that the modification to the video is hardly noticeable as, for instance, for a typical frame rate of 25, we insert only one image per 50 video frames. We also found that, by inserting one image per second, all the shot labels returned by the API are related to the inserted image. We perform the experiments on the sample videos provided by the API demonstration website and show that our attack is successful with different videos and images

    Retrieval of interatomic separations of molecules from laser-induced high-order harmonic spectra

    Full text link
    We illustrate an iterative method for retrieving the internuclear separations of N2_2, O2_2 and CO2_2 molecules using the high-order harmonics generated from these molecules by intense infrared laser pulses. We show that accurate results can be retrieved with a small set of harmonics and with one or few alignment angles of the molecules. For linear molecules the internuclear separations can also be retrieved from harmonics generated using isotropically distributed molecules. By extracting the transition dipole moment from the high-order harmonic spectra, we further demonstrated that it is preferable to retrieve the interatomic separation iteratively by fitting the extracted dipole moment. Our results show that time-resolved chemical imaging of molecules using infrared laser pulses with femtosecond temporal resolutions is possible.Comment: 14 pages, 9 figure
