We discuss properties of the two-dimensional Landau Hamiltonian perturbed by a family of identical <i></i> potentials arranged equidistantly along a closed loop. It is demonstrated that for the loop size exceeding the effective size of the point obstacles and the cyclotronic radius such a system exhibits persistent currents at the bottom of the spectrum. We also show that the effect is sensitive to a small disorder.

In this paper we investigate the operator H=??(??) in L2 (R2), where&gt; 0 and? is a closed C4 Jordan curve in R2. We obtain the asymptotic form of each eigenvalue of H as tends to in nity. We also get the asymptotic form of the number of negative eigenvalues of H in the strong coupling asymptotic regime. MSC: 35J10, 35P15

In this paper, we present an efficient attack to the multivariate Quadratic Quasigroups (MQQ) cryptosystem. Our cryptanalysis breaks MQQ cryptosystems by solving systems of multivariate quadratic polynomial equations using a modified version of the MutantXL algorithm. We present experimental results comparing the behavior of our implementation of MutantXL to Magma's implementation of F_4 on MQQ systems (\ge 135 bit). Based on our results we show that the MutantXL implementation solves with much less memory than Magma's implementation of F_4 algorithm.

In this paper, we prove that the degree of regularity of the family of Square systems, an HFE type of systems, over a prime finite field of odd characteristics q is exactly q, and therefore prove that \begin{itemize} \item inverting Square systems algebraically is exponential, when q=O(n), where n is the number of variables of the system. \end{itemize}
