anyon statistics in tiny electronic colliders

in three dimensional systems elementary particles are divided exclusively between fermions which exclude each others and bosons which bunch together according to the phase acquired by the wavefunction when two particles are exchanged the situation is different in twodimensional systems which can host new particles called anyons for which the exchange phase can take any value and which obey partial exclusion between fermions and bosons interestingly these quasiparticles keep a memory of the exchanges between them that is protected from local perturbations of their trajectories one speaks of topological protection this protection is at the heart of the interest for anyons as specific types of anyons called nonabelian are the building blocks of topological quantum computing that would be protected from decoherence the existence of these quasiparticles was predicted forty years ago in twodimensional conductors in the fractional quantum hall regime however despite intense experimental and theoretical efforts direct signatures of their fractional statistics have only been observed recently offering only now the possibility to characterize fractional statistics and to exploit it for new functionalitiesthe purpose of this project is to quantitatively investigate the statistics of anyons by probing their tendency to bunch together or exclude each others in a nanoscale collider the different phases of the fractional quantum hall effect offer a very vast and almost completely unexplored variety of anyons i will characterize the differences between different statistics including the most interesting nonabelian case i will also investigate the robustness of the signatures of fractional statistics and to which extent they can be considered as topologically protected finally i will probe anyon statistics in the timedomain regime where anyon emission is dynamically controlled which is a necessary condition for quantum information perspectives
global adaptation of soil microbes under environmental change

the representation of soil carbon in models used by the intergovernmental panel on climate change ipcc remains significantly underdeveloped leading to uncertainty concerning some models predicting soils as carbon sinks and others as sources of carbon dioxide the development of microbeexplicit models is a very promising avenue for avoiding such inconsistencies and obtaining more accurate soil organic carbon soc predictions however these models still suffer from uncertain parameterization due to the lack of data and the high variability in microbial responses at the ecosystem scale these issues are especially true in carbonrich northern highlatitude soils that are most vulnerable to large soc loss with global change the variability in microbial response at the ecosystem scale is rooted in intricate microscale ecoevolutionary adaptive processes namely evolution dispersal and filtering of community diversity the diversity in microbiomes resulting from past selection influences present adaptive capacity and is referred to as the contingency effect the gamechange project will harness a recent surge of novel microbial genomic data in order to parameterize a new generation of biogeochemical model that accounts for the effect of microbial adaptation on soc including contingency effects gamechange will couple the genomeparameterized microscale microbial model with a vegetation land model using a novel emulation approach this novel coupled model will allow us to compare the 2100 soc predictions with and without microbial adaptation this project will produce the first coupled soil microbeland model parameterized with genomic data laying the foundation for more realistic microbial models for ipcc climate projections
scarfacebook organized crime and populist digital media politics in contemporary naples southern italy

the interactive forms of mass communication that characterize digital platforms of social mediation such as facebook and instagram intersect the institutional life of current democracies on multiple levels while serving as powerful echo chambers for a plethora of rather controversial populist political agencies as shown by the phd dissertation i have defended at the university of toronto in 2019 this is especially true within subaltern social spaces such as those punctuating the urban peripheries of naples southern italy there farright movements and criminal organizations regularly employ the online social media to elicit consent amid the local poor and establish dynamics of political patronage with them how do legal and criminal processes of digital networking cooperate in the entrenchment of populist politics within the most socially vulnerable areas of current democracies how do these processes impact the sociocultural lives of the neapolitan poor in terms of political mobilization what public policies and social interventions could challenge the conditions of structural violence and indirect governmentality engendered by these populist processes of digital mediation in naples and beyond my project will respond to these questions by providing ethnographic insights on the informal dynamics of digital mediation coinvolving current neapolitan gangsters populist institutional operators and their lowerclass publics i will conduct this project through innovative qualitative methods of sociocultural research which will integrate the ethnographic techniques i have learnt and practiced during my previous anthropological studies with the online techniques of netnographic analysis informing the fields of digital media studies and digital humanities i plan to do so through my engagement with the university of amsterdam as such this project will also allow me to be reintegrated within eu academia after ten years of scholarly work in north america

genomics of luminescence in mycena mushrooms

sailors called it burning of the sea shakespeare described it as pale fire and aristotle named it cold light the glimmer they witnessed was light emitted by living organisms or bioluminescence while it represents one of the most striking examples of convergent evolution across the tree of life in fungi it has a single origin in the agaricales order basidiomycota in particular mycena a large genus of mushroomforming fungi includes most of known bioluminescent species together with hundreds of species that lost the ability to emit light in glimmer i will study the evolution of fungal bioluminescence and test the hypothesis that multiple lineagespecific mechanisms led to the convergent loss of this trait providing clues for its ecological relevance to date mycena lacks a robust phylogenetic framework and is heavily under sampled fungarium collections such as the one at naturalis preserved thousands of mycena specimens over the past centuries thanks to new highthroughput sequencing methods these collections are being transformed in genomics resources bridging taxonomy and evolution in glimmer my expertise in fungal genomics will serve to develop a genomebased classification of mycena that combines contemporary and museum specimens i will generate assemblies of 100 representative species using shortread sequencing next i will extract phylogenetically informative loci to design a target sequence capture method for recalcitrant museum specimens for the first time in mushrooms then i will use the new classification to select reference species and obtain chromosomallevel assemblies using longread sequencing finally with genomewide synteny analyses i will investigate the evolutionary circumstances that led to the birth and death of bioluminescence in fungi by integrating taxonomy genomics and evolution my project will create a paradigm shift in our knowledge on fungal biodiversity and ultimately contribute to its conservation

how do cells form an embryo intracellular temporal and phenotypic dissection of mammalian gastrulation

in multicellular orin multicellular organisms how variation is achieved while cells comprise identical genetic information represents a fundamental open challenge my group strives to engage in the coming years the development of a single fertilized egg into a complete embryo represents an especially beautiful embodiment of this problem the process of differentiation is defined by the capacity of the cell ensemble to acquire increasingly more specialized internal states in a coordinated fashion we are therefore excited by recent breakthroughs in singlecell transcriptomics and epigenomics since these can capture the emergence of embryonic cellular diversification at incredible resolution but we believe there is an urgent need in the field to match descriptive single cell atlases with models and experimental frameworks to derive novel understanding of function and regulation in this processto this end we will undertake three complementary approaches all implemented during specification of the basic mammalian body plan gastrulation in vivo i we will scrutinize parallel and converged differentiation in embryonic and extraembryonic lineages at absolute time this will be achieved in both mouse and rabbit providing unprecedented molecular insight into the evolutionary hourglass theory ii building on our recently developed capabilities we will systematically dissect epigenetic mechanisms shaping and memorizing intracellular states importantly we will do so by controlling for cell type and effects that propagate in and between tissues over time iii finally we will chart and manipulate extracellular signaling affecting cell specification in the 3d embryonic space our study will provide mechanistic understanding and muchneeded quantitative models that truly represent embryonic development as a concurrent interacting ensemble with farreaching implications for other fields such as regenerative medicine cancer aging and synthetic embryogenesis

geometry and topology of singularities

this interdisciplinary project brings together innovative ideas and techniques from algebraic geometry and complex analytic geometry singularity theory commutative algebra and topology given two complex analytic varieties x and x that are part of an analytic family in a complex affine space we will study the relationships between the different similarities x and x might share such similarities can be of geometric and topological naturethe synonym for similarity we will use here is equisingularity we say x and x are topologically equisingular if there is a homeomorphism between x and x that extends to an ambient homomorphism that trivializes the entire family we say that x and x are geometrically equisingular if x and x have similar resolution of singularities or if a resolution of the entire family induces a resolution of each fiber understanding the topology of either x or x usually involves a continuous deformation of either one of them to a smooth variety the existence of which is guaranteed under a special smoothability hypothesis a stronger version of topological equisingularity called lipschitz equisingularity asks for a homeomorphism between x and x that satisfies the lipschitz inequality the ultimate goal of the project is to gain insight in the relationships between topological lipschitz and geometric equisingularity and develop an approach to study the topology of singularities that are not necessarily smoothable without imposing special dimension or codimension assumptions as was done previously
