Nonlinearity Compensation for Coherent Optical Satellite Communications

This paper addresses the performance degradation caused by fiber Kerr nonlinearity in high-power optical satellite uplinks by developing a realistic system model and proposing low-complexity digital signal processing techniques, including constellation shaping via a look-up table and nonlinear phase rotation, which collectively increase the maximum acceptable link loss by up to 6 dB while enabling adaptive rate tuning.

Random walks in finite Abelian groups with Birkhoff subpolytopes of doubly stochastic matrices and their physical implementation

This paper investigates random walks in finite Abelian groups governed by Markov chains within specific Birkhoff subpolytopes, demonstrating that their evolving probability distributions converge within a time-dependent shrinking polytope characterized by various statistical metrics, and illustrates these findings through physical implementations involving non-selective quantum measurements in both additive and Heisenberg-Weyl groups.

Finiteness of specializations of the qq-deformed modular group at roots of unity

This paper establishes that the qq-deformed modular group PSLq(2,Z)\operatorname{PSL}_q(2,{\mathbb Z}) specializes to a finite group at a complex parameter ζ\zeta if and only if ζ\zeta is a primitive nn-th root of unity for n{2,3,4,5}n \in \{2,3,4,5\}, in which cases the resulting groups are isomorphic to specific binary polyhedral groups, while the case n=6n=6 yields an infinite but "mild" structure with applications to Jones polynomials.

Splitting methods for the Gross-Pitaevskii equation on the full space and vortex nucleation

This paper establishes the convergence of Lie-Trotter and Strang splitting schemes for the Gross-Pitaevskii equation with time-dependent potentials and non-zero boundary conditions in Zhidkov spaces, while demonstrating the conservation of generalized mass, near-preservation of energy, and investigating quantum vortex nucleation in relevant experimental settings.

OFDM Waveform Optimization for Bistatic Integrated Sensing and Communications

This paper proposes a joint subcarrier assignment and power allocation framework for bistatic OFDM-based ISAC systems that maximizes communication data rate while satisfying delay sensing accuracy constraints, revealing that sensing subcarriers should be allocated only when their Fisher information gain outweighs the communication rate loss.
