In this paper we continue analysis of the Matrix theory describing the DLCQ of type IIB string theory on AdS5×S5 (and/or the plane-wave) background, i.e. the tiny graviton matrix theory (TGMT). We study and classify 1/2, 1/4, and 1/8 BPS solutions of the TGMT which are generically of the form of rotating three-brane giants. These are branes whose shape are deformed three-spheres and hyperboloids. In lack of a classification of such ten-dimensional type IIb supergravity configurations, we focus on the dual N=4 four-dimensional 1/2, 1/4, and one 1/8 BPS operators and show that they are in one-to-one correspondence with the states of the same set of quantum numbers in TGMT. This provides... 

In this paper we consider all consistent extensions of the AdS5 × S5 superalgebra, psu(2,2/4), to incorporate brane charges by introducing both bosonic and fermionic (non)central extensions. We study the Inönü-Wigner contraction of the extended psu(2,2/4) under the Penrose limit to obtain the most general consistent extension of the plane-wave superalgebra and compare these extensions with the possible BPS (flat or spherical) brane configurations in the plane-wave background. We give an explicit realization of some of these extensions in terms of the Tiny Graviton Matrix Theory (TGMT) [14] which is the 0+1 dimensional gauge theory conjectured to describe the DLCQ of strings on the AdS5 × S5... 

In this paper, we introduce limited-sharing multiparty computation; in which there is a network of workers (processors) and a set of sources, each having access to a massive matrix as a private input. These sources aim to offload the task of computing a polynomial function of the matrices to the workers, while preserving the privacy of data. We also assume that the load of the link between each source and each worker is upper bounded by a fraction of each input matrix for some cin{1, rac{1}{2},rac{1}{3}, ldots}. The objective is to minimize the number of workers needed to perform the computation, such that even if an arbitrary subset of t-1 workers, for some tin mathbb{N}, collude, they... 

In this article, we consider a secure multi-party computation problem (MPC), where the goal is to offload the computation of an arbitrary polynomial function of some massive private matrices (inputs) to a cluster of workers. The workers are not reliable. Some of them may collude to gain information about the input data (semi-honest workers). The system is initialized by sharing a (randomized) function of each input matrix to each server. Since the input matrices are massive, each share's size is assumed to be at most 1/k fraction of the input matrix, for some k ∈ N. The objective is to minimize the number of workers needed to perform the computation task correctly, such that even if an... 

We argue that one can relax the requirements of the non-associative three-algebras recently used in constructing D = 3, = 8 superconformal field theories, and introduce the notion of ''relaxed three-algebras''. We present a specific realization of the relaxed three-algebras in terms of classical Lie algebras with a matrix representation, endowed with a non-associative four-bracket structure which is prescribed to replace the three-brackets of the three-algebras. We show that both the so(4)-based solutions as well as the cases with non-positive definite metric find a uniform description in our setting. We discuss the implications of our four-bracket representation for the D = 3, = 8 and multi... 

The potentials of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as mechanical resonators for atomic-scale mass sensing are presented. To this aim, a nonlocal continuum-based model is proposed to study the dynamic behavior of bridged single-walled carbon nanotube-based mass nanosensors. The carbon nanotube (CNT) is considered as an elastic Euler–Bernoulli beam with von Kármán type geometric nonlinearity. Eringen’s nonlocal elastic field theory is utilized to model the interatomic long-range interactions within the structure of the CNT. This developed model accounts for the arbitrary position of the deposited atomic-mass. The natural frequencies and associated mode shapes are determined based on an eigenvalue... 

In a secure multiparty computation (MPC) system, there are some sources, where each one has access to a private input. The sources want to offload the computation of a polynomial function of the inputs to some processing nodes or workers. The processors are unreliable, i.e., a limited number of them may collude to gain information about the inputs. The objective is to minimize the number of required workers to calculate the polynomial, while the colluding workers gain no information about inputs. In this paper, we assume that the inputs are massive matrices, while the workers have the limited computation and storage at each worker. As proxy for that, we assume the link between each source...

The instability of large diameter single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) conveying fluid is investigated based on the molecular mechanics. Using the modal expansion for structural displacements, the governing equations of coupled fluid-structural dynamics of SWCNTs are derived. The natural frequencies and mode shape of the SWCNTs are obtained based on the molecular structural mechanics to account for the effect of chirality and discrete nature of SWCNTs. The results show that the vibrational behavior of large diameter SWCNTs conveying fluid is size dependent, but the effect of chirality is negligible. The obtained results are compared with the equivalent continuum-based model in the... 

In this effort, an analytical solution is proposed for the large amplitude nonlinear vibrations of doubly clamped carbon nanotube (CNT)-based nano-scale bio-mass sensors. The single walled CNT is modeled as an elastic Euler–Bernoulli nano-scale beam and the size effects are introduced into the mathematical model of the system through Eringen’s nonlocal elastic field theory. The nonlinearity arises due to mid-plane stretching of the bridged CNT, and is accounted for as the von Kármán nonlinearity. The impacts of deposited nano-scale bio-object, its geometrical properties, and its landing position along the longitudinal axis of the CNT-based resonator are considered. The nonlinear equations of...

A nonlocal continuum-based model is derived to simulate the dynamic behavior of bridged carbon nanotube-based nano-scale mass detectors. The carbon nanotube (CNT) is modeled as an elastic Euler-Bernoulli beam considering von-Kármán type geometric nonlinearity. In order to achieve better accuracy in characterization of the CNTs, the geometrical properties of an attached nano-scale particle are introduced into the model by its moment of inertia with respect to the central axis of the beam. The inter-atomic long-range interactions within the structure of the CNT are incorporated into the model using Eringen's nonlocal elastic field theory. In this model, the mass can be deposited along an...
