ANOMALIES AS OBSTRUCTIONS: FROM DIMENSIONAL LIFTS TO SWAMPLAND

Anomalies as obstructions: from dimensional lifts to swampland

Abstract We revisit the relation between the anomalies in four and six dimensions and the Chern-Simons couplings one dimension below.While the dimensional reduction of chiral theories is well-understood, the question which three and five-dimensional theories can come from a general circle reduction, and are hence liftable, is more subtle.We argue t

Angle-Only Filtering of a Maneuvering Target in 3D

We consider the state estimation of a maneuvering target in 3D using bearing and elevation measurements from a passive infrared search and track (IRST) sensor.Since the range is not observable, the sensor must perform a maneuver to observe the state of the target.The target moves with a nearly constant turn (NCT) in the XY-plane and nearly constant

Identification and validation of DNA methylation markers to predict axillary lymph node metastasis of breast cancer.

BackgroundAxillary lymph node metastasis (ALNM) is one of the most important prognostic factors for breast cancer patients, and DNA methylation is involved in ALNM of breast cancer.However, the methylation profile of breast cancer ALNM remains unknown.MethodsBreast cancer tissues were collected from patients with and without ALNM.We investigated th
