We calculate a G_2-period of a Fourier coefficient of a cuspidal Eisenstein series on the split simply-connected group E_6, and relate this period to the Ginzburg-Rallis period of cusp forms on GL_6. This gives us a relation between the Ginzburg-Rallis period and the central value of the exterior cube L-function of GL_6.

Error reconciliation is an important technique for learning with error (LWE) and ring-LWE (RLWE)-based constructions. In this paper, we present a comparison analysis on two error reconciliation-based RLWE key exchange protocols: Ding et al. in 2012 (DING12) and Bos et al. in 2015 (BCNS15). We take them as examples to explain the core idea of error reconciliation, building key exchange over RLWE problem, implementation and real-world performance, and compare them comprehensively. We also analyse a LWE key exchange 'Frodo' that uses an improved error reconciliation mechanism in BCNS15. To the best of our knowledge, our work is the first to present at least 128-bit classic (80-bit quantum) and 256-bit classic (> 200-bit quantum) secure parameter choices for DING12 with efficient portable C/C++ implementations. Benchmark shows that our efficient implementation is 11× faster than BCNS15 and one key exchange execution only costs 0.07 ms on a four-year-old middle range CPU. Error reconciliation is 1.57× faster than BCNS15.

Consider $N$ bosons in a finite box  $ \Lambda = [0,L]^3 \subset R^3$ interacting via a two-body smooth repulsive short range potential. We construct a variational state which gives the following upper bound on the ground state energy per particle $$ \bar{lim|_{\rho \to 0} \bar{lim|_{L \to \infty, N/L^3 \to \rho} ( \ frac{e_0 (\rho) - 4\pi a \rho }{ (4\pi a)^{5/2} (\rho)^{3/2} } ) \le \frac{16}{15 \pi ^2} , $$ where $a$ is the scattering length of the potential. Previously, an upper bound of the form $C16/15\pi^2$ for some constant $C >1$ was obtained in (Erdös et al. in Phys. Rev. A 78:053627, 2008). Our result proves the upper bound of the prediction by Lee and Yang (Phys. Rev. 105(3):1119–1120, 1957) and Lee et al. (Phys. Rev. 106(6):1135–1145, 1957).
