description: We introduce an abstract concept of quantum field theory on categories fibered in groupoids over the category of spacetimes. This provides us with a general and flexible framework to study quantum field theories defined on spacetimes with extra geometric structures such as bundles, connections and spin structures. Using right Kan extensions, we can assign to any such theory an ordinary quantum field theory defined on the category of spacetimes and we shall clarify under which conditions it satisfies the axioms of locally covariant quantum field theory. The same constructions can be performed in a homotopy theoretic framework by using homotopy right Kan extensions, which allows us to obtain first toy-models of homotopical quantum field theories resembling some aspects of gauge theories.

description: We derive the quasiclassical non-equilibrium Eilenberger and Usadel equations to first order in quantities small compared to the Fermi energy, valid for Dirac edge and surface electrons with spin-momentum locking, as relevant for topological insulators. We discuss in detail several of the key technical points and assumptions of the derivation, and provide a Riccati-parametrization of the equations. Solving first the equilibrium equations for S/N and S/F bilayers and Josephson junctions, we study the superconducting proximity effect in Dirac materials. Similarly to related works, we find that the effect of an exchange field depends strongly on the direction of the field. Only components normal to the transport direction lead to attenuation of the Cooper pair wavefunction inside the F. Fields parallel to the transport direction lead to phase-shifts in the dependence on the superconducting phase difference for both the charge current and density of states in an S/F/S-junction. Moreover, we compute the differential conductance in S/N and S/F bilayers with an applied voltage bias, and determine the dependence on the length of the N and F regions and the exchange field.

Bootstrap equations for $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM with defects

description: This paper focuses on the analysis of $4d$ $\mathcal{N}=4$ superconformal theories in the presence of a defect from the point of view of the conformal bootstrap. We will concentrate first on the case of codimension one, where the defect is a boundary that preserves half of the supersymmetry. After studying the constraints imposed by supersymmetry, we will obtain the Ward identities associated to two-point functions of $\tfrac{1}{2}$-BPS operators and write their solution as a superconformal block expansion. Due to a surprising connection between spacetime and R-symmetry conformal blocks, our results not only apply to $4d$ $\mathcal{N}=4$ superconformal theories with a boundary, but also to three more systems that have the same symmetry algebra: $4d$ $\mathcal{N}=4$ superconformal theories with a line defect, $3d$ $\mathcal{N}=4$ superconformal theories with no defect, and $OSP(4^*|4)$ superconformal quantum mechanics. The superconformal algebra implies that all these systems possess a closed subsector of operators in which the bootstrap equations become polynomial constraints on the CFT data. We derive these truncated equations and initiate the study of their solutions.

Zur Vertiefung der grundlegenden Literaturrecherche werden Interviews mit drei Psychomotoriktherapeutinnen geführt. Die Ergebnisse aus der Literaturrecherche und den Interviews werden zusammengebracht und in Beziehung zur Psychomotoriktherapie von Kindern im mittleren Kindesalter dargestellt. Damit wird die Bedeutung von Rollenspielen für diese Arbeit veranschaulicht. Umgekehrt wird auch deutlich, dass das psychomotorische Setting die Möglichkeiten zum Spielen verschiedener Rollenspiele bereichernd erweitert. Zusammenfassend lässt sich festhalten, dass Rollenspiele in der Psychomotoriktherapie dem Kind bedeutsame soziale, emotionale und motorische Lernfelder bieten.
The reconstruction theorem in Besov spaces

description: The theory of regularity structures sets up an abstract framework of modelled distributions generalising the usual Hölder functions and allowing one to give a meaning to several ill-posed stochastic PDEs. A key result in that theory is the so-called reconstruction theorem: it defines a continuous linear operator that maps spaces of "modelled distributions" into the usual space of distributions. In the present paper, we extend the scope of this theorem to analogues to the whole class of Besov spaces $\mathcal{B}^γ_{p,q}$ with non-integer regularity indices. We then show that these spaces behave very much like their classical counterparts by obtaining the corresponding embedding theorems and Schauder-type estimates.

EU constitutionalism in the twenty-first century: politics and law in crisis
Creators: name: Scicluna, Nicole
Publisher: name: La Trobe
Year: 2023

description: Submission note: A thesis submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy to the School of Social Sciences and Communications, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, La Trobe University, Bundoora, Victoria.

This thesis advances a novel legal-constitutional approach to the study of the European Union (EU). It is framed by the twin crises of twenty-first century EU constitutionalism: the failure of the Constitutional Treaty in 2005, and the Eurozone crisis, which began in 2010. The thesis derives much of its theoretical framework from Integration through Law scholarship. However, in contrast to traditional legal integration theories, law is used to investigate the limits of integration, and the potential for partial disintegration. In particular, I will demonstrate how the integration process overburdened law in an attempt to overcome political deficiencies, with serious consequences for the EU’s ‘democratic deficit’. Part of the legacy of the first crisis was a retreat from the Constitution’s lofty ideal of democratisation via politicisation. Now, as a result of the second crisis, the integration project has become well and truly politicised and European policies highly salient for national voters. However, this process has occurred almost against the will of EU leaders, who have sought technocratic solutions to what are inherently political problems. Thus, over the past decade, the EU has moved from an unsuccessful attempt at democratisation via politicisation, to an unintended politicisation without democratisation. This thesis, then, analyses the European integration project as a community of law that is facing the challenge of maintaining the coherence and balance of its constitutional order. It contends that integration via constitutionalisation has peaked and is nearing its limits. If ever-closer union is to be achieved, it will have to be via different means. Given the course of Eurozone crisis management to date, this is more likely to be through reinforced intergovernmental and technocratic modes of governance than comprehensive engagement with, and inclusion of, European citizens. However, such a course poses a serious threat to the maintenance of European unity in the medium-to-long-term.

description: The unification of quantum mechanics and gravity remains as one of the primary challenges of present-day physics. Quantum-gravity-inspired phenomenological models offer a window to explore potential aspects of quantum gravity including qualitatively new behaviour that can be experimentally tested. One such phenomenological model is the generalized uncertainty principle (GUP), which predicts a modified Heisenberg uncertainty relation and a deformed canonical commutator. It was recently shown that optomechanical systems offer significant promise to put stringent experimental bounds on such models. In this paper, we introduce a scheme to increase the sensitivity of these experiments with an extended sequence of pulsed optomechanical interactions. We also analyze the effects of optical phase noise and optical loss and present a strategy to mitigate such deleterious effects.

description: We first consider the idea of renormalization group-induced estimates, in the context of optimization procedures, for the Brodsky-Lepage-Mackenzie approach to generate higher-order contributions to QCD perturbative series. Secondly, we develop the deviation pattern approach (DPA) in which through a series of comparisons between lower-order RG-induced estimates and the corresponding analytical calculations, one could modify higher-order RG-induced estimates. Finally, using the normal estimation procedure and DPA, we get estimates of $α_s^4$ corrections for the Bjorken sum rule of polarized deep-inelastic scattering and for the non-singlet contribution to the Adler function.

Coleman-Weinberg symmetry breaking in $SU(8)$ induced by a third rank antisymmetric tensor scalar field II: the fermion spectrum

description: We continue our study of Coleman-Weinberg symmetry breaking induced by a third rank antisymmetric tensor scalar, in the context of the $SU(8)$ model we proposed earlier. We focus in this paper on qualitative features that will determine whether the model can make contact with the observed particle spectrum. We discuss the mechanism for giving the spin $\frac{3}{2}$ field a mass by the BEH mechanism, and analyze the remaining massless spin $\frac{1}{2}$ fermions, the global chiral symmetries, and the running couplings after symmetry breaking. We note that the smallest gluon mass matrix eigenvalue has an eigenvector suggestive of $U(1)_{B-L}$, and conjecture that the theory runs to an infrared fixed point at which there is a massless gluon with 3 to -1 ratios in generator components. Assuming this, we discuss a mechanism for making contact with the standard model, based on a conjectured asymmetric breaking of $Sp(4)$ to $SU(2)$ subgroups, one of which is the electroweak $SU(2)$, and the other of which is a "technicolor" group that binds the original $SU(8)$ model fermions, which play the role of "preons", into composites. Quarks can emerge as 5 preon composites and leptons as 3 preon composites, with consequent stability of the proton against decay to a single lepton plus a meson. A composite Higgs boson can emerge as a two preon composite. Since anomaly matching for the relevant conserved global symmetry current is not obeyed by three fermion families, emergence of three composite families requires formation of a Goldstone boson with quantum numbers matching this current, which can be a light dark matter candidate.

description: Spontaneous synchronization has long served as a paradigm for behavioral uniformity that can emerge from interactions in complex systems. When the interacting entities are identical and their coupling patterns are also identical, the complete synchronization of the entire network is the state inheriting the system symmetry. As in other systems subject to symmetry breaking, such symmetric states are not always stable. Here we report on the discovery of the converse of symmetry breaking--the scenario in which complete synchronization is not stable for identically-coupled identical oscillators but becomes stable when, and only when, the oscillator parameters are judiciously tuned to nonidentical values, thereby breaking the system symmetry to preserve the state symmetry. Aside from demonstrating that diversity can facilitate and even be required for uniformity and consensus, this suggests a mechanism for convergent forms of pattern formation in which initially asymmetric patterns evolve into symmetric ones.

description: This paper surveys the emerging methods to automate reasoning over large libraries developed with formal proof assistants. We call these methods hammers. They give the authors of formal proofs a strong "one-stroke" tool for discharging difficult lemmas without the need for careful and detailed manual programming of proof search.
The main ingredients underlying this approach are efficient automatic theorem provers that can cope with hundreds of axioms, suitable translations of richer logics to their formalisms, heuristic and learning methods that select relevant facts from large libraries, and methods that reconstruct the automatically found proofs inside the proof assistants.
We outline the history of these methods, explain the main issues and techniques, and show their strength on several large benchmarks. We also discuss the relation of this technology to the QED Manifesto and consider its implications for QED-style efforts.

description: Tachycardiomyopathy is characterised by reversible left ventricular dysfunction, provoked by rapid ventricular rate. While the knowledge of mitochondria advanced in most cardiomyopathies, mitochondrial functions await elucidation in tachycardiomyopathy. Pacemakers were implanted in 61 rabbits. Tachypacing was performed with 330 bpm for 10 days (n = 11, early left ventricular dysfunction) or with up to 380 bpm over 30 days (n = 24, tachycardiomyopathy, TCM). In n = 26, pacemakers remained inactive (SHAM). Left ventricular tissue was subjected to respirometry, metabolomics and acetylomics. Results were assessed for translational relevance using a human-based model: induced pluripotent stem cell derived cardiomyocytes underwent field stimulation for 7 days (TACH-iPSC-CM). TCM animals showed systolic dysfunction compared to SHAM (fractional shortening 37.8 +/- 1.0% vs. 21.9 +/- 1.2%, SHAM vs. TCM, p < 0.0001). Histology revealed cardiomyocyte hypertrophy (cross-sectional area 393.2 +/- 14.5 mu m(2) vs. 538.9 +/- 23.8 mu m(2), p < 0.001) without fibrosis. Mitochondria were shifted to the intercalated discs and enlarged. Mitochondrial membrane potential remained stable in TCM. The metabolite profiles of ELVD and TCM were characterised by profound depletion of tricarboxylic acid cycle intermediates. Redox balance was shifted towards a more oxidised state (ratio of reduced to oxidised nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide 10.5 +/- 2.1 vs. 4.0 +/- 0.8, p < 0.01). The mitochondrial acetylome remained largely unchanged. Neither TCM nor TACH-iPSC-CM showed relevantly increased levels of reactive oxygen species. Oxidative phosphorylation capacity of TCM decreased modestly in skinned fibres (168.9 +/- 11.2 vs. 124.6 +/- 11.45 pmol center dot O-2 center dot s(-1)center dot mg(-1) tissue, p < 0.05), but it did not in isolated mitochondria. The pattern of mitochondrial dysfunctions detected in two models of tachycardiomyopathy diverges from previously published characteristic signs of other heart failure aetiologies.

description: Associative submanifolds $A$ in nearly parallel $G_2$-manifolds $Y$ are minimal 3-submanifolds in spin 7-manifolds with a real Killing spinor. The Riemannian cone over $Y$ has the holonomy group contained in ${\rm Spin(7)}$ and the Riemannian cone over $A$ is a Cayley submanifold. Infinitesimal deformations of associative submanifolds were considered by the author. This paper is a continuation of the work. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for an infinitesimal associative deformation to be integrable (unobstructed) to second order explicitly. As an application, we show that the infinitesimal deformations of a homogeneous associative submanifold in the 7-sphere given by Lotay, which he called $A_3$, are unobstructed to second order.

Are Cosmological Gas Accretion Streams Multiphase and Turbulent?

description: Simulations of cosmological filamentary accretion reveal flows ("streams") of warm gas, ~$10^4$ K, which are efficient in bringing gas into galaxies. We present a phenomenological scenario where gas in such flows -- if it is shocked as it enters the halo as we assume -- become biphasic and, as a result, turbulent. We consider a collimated stream of warm gas that flows into a halo from an over dense filament of the cosmic web. The post-shock streaming gas expands because it has a higher pressure than the ambient halo gas, and fragments as it cools. The fragmented stream forms a two phase medium: a warm cloudy phase embedded in hot post-shock gas. We argue that the hot phase sustains the accretion shock. A fraction of the initial kinetic energy of the infalling gas is converted into turbulence among and within the warm clouds. The thermodynamic evolution of the post-shock gas is largely determined by the relative timescales of several processes -- the cooling, the expansion of the post-shock gas, the amount of turbulence in the clouds, and the halo dynamics. We expect the gas to become multiphase when the cooling and dynamical times are of the same order-of-magnitude. In this framework, we show that this occurs in the important mass range of ~$10^{11}$ to $10^{13}$ M$_\odot$ , where the bulk of stars have formed in galaxies. Gas accreting along cosmic web filaments may eventually lose coherence and mix with the ambient halo gas. Through both the phase separation and "disruption" of the stream, the accretion efficiency onto a galaxy in a halo dynamical time is lowered. De-collimating flows make the direct interaction between galaxy feedback and accretion streams more likely, thereby further reducing the overall accretion efficiency. Moderating the gas accretion efficiency through these mechanisms may help to alleviate a number of significant challenges in theoretical galaxy formation.

description: Previous studies have demonstrated that soymilk and Lacticaseibacillus paracasei YIT 9029 (strain Shirota: LcS) each beneficially affect the gut microbiota and defecation habits. To investigate the effects of daily consumption of fermented soymilk containing LcS (FSM), we conducted a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 112 healthy Japanese adults with a low faecal Bifidobacterium count. They consumed 100 ml FSM or placebo (unfermented soymilk base) once daily for 4 weeks. Their gut microbiota was analysed by 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing and quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and faecal short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and urinary putrefactive products were assessed during the pre- and post-consumption periods. Defecation habits were examined weekly using a subjective questionnaire. In the post-consumption period, living LcS were not detected in two subjects in the FSM group (n = 57) but were detected in one subject in the SM group (n = 55). The FSM group had a significantly higher number and relative abundance of faecal lactobacilli compared with the placebo group. The relative abundance of Bifidobacterium, alpha-diversity of microbiota, and concentrations of acetate and total SCFAs in faeces were significantly increased in the FSM group, although no significant differences were detected between the groups. The number of defecations and defecation days per week significantly increased in both groups. Subgroup analysis of 109 subjects, excluding 3 with inconsistent LcS detection (2 and 1 subjects in the FSM and SM groups, respectively), revealed that the FSM group (n = 55) had significantly greater increases in faecal acetate concentration compared with the SM group (n = 54) and significant upregulation of pathways related to energy production or glucose metabolism in the gut microbiota. These findings suggest that daily FSM consumption improves the gut microbiota and intestinal environment in healthy adults and may help to maintain health and prevent diseases.

description: We show that the tensor product $M \mathbin{\overline{\otimes}} N$ of any two full factors $M$ and $N$ (possibly of type ${\rm III}$) is full and we compute Connes' invariant $τ(M \mathbin{\overline{\otimes}} N)$ in terms of $τ(M)$ and $τ(N)$. The key novelty is an enhanced spectral gap property for full factors of type ${\rm III}$. Moreover, for full factors of type ${\rm III}$ with almost periodic states, we prove an optimal spectral gap property. As an application of our main result, we also show that for any full factor $M$ and any non-type ${\rm I}$ amenable factor $P$, the tensor product factor $M \mathbin{\overline{\otimes}} P$ has a unique McDuff decomposition, up to stable unitary conjugacy.

description: Kinder mit ADHS (Aufmerksamkeits-Defizit-Hyperaktivitäts-Störung) fallen durch ihr Verhalten in der öffentlichen Schule auf und ecken an. Als eine mögliche Lösung für ihre Schwierigkeiten wechseln diese Kinder dann an eine Rudolf Steiner Schule. Die vorliegende Masterarbeit widmet sich der Frage, wie Lehrpersonen an Rudolf Steiner Schulen die Integration von Kindern mit ADHS gelingt. Dazu wurden Interviews mit Lehrkräften, Eltern, Kindern und Jugendlichen von verschiedenen Schulen geführt und diese mit Hilfe einer qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse ausgewertet. Die Arbeit zeigt auf, wie mit einer wohlwollenden, ressourcenorientierten Haltung an Kinder mit ADHS herangegangen wird, wie zentral der Einbezug der Eltern ist und wo auch Rudolf Steiner Schulen an ihre Grenzen stossen.

description: We examine a model of network formation in single-layer and multiplex networks in which individuals have positive incentives for social ties, closed triangles, and spillover edges. In particular, we investigate the influence of shocks to the network in which the cost of social ties changes after an initial equilibrium. We highlight the emergence of structural entrenchment: the retention of structural features, such as closed triangles and spillover edges, which are formed under historically different conditions from those currently driving network evolution. This work has broad implications for understanding path dependence in the structure and dynamics of single-layer and multiplex networks.

description: We apply symmetric tensor network state (TNS) to study the nearest neighbor spin-1/2 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model on Kagome lattice. Our method keeps track of the global and gauge symmetries in TNS update procedure and in tensor renormalization group (TRG) calculation. We also introduce a very sensitive probe for the gap of the ground state -- the modular matrices, which can also determine the topological order if the ground state is gapped. We find that the ground state of Heisenberg model on Kagome lattice is a gapped spin liquid with the $\mathbb{Z}_2$-topological order (or toric code type), which has a long correlation length $ξ\sim 10$ unit cell length. We justify that the TRG method can handle very large systems with over thousands of spins. Such a long $ξ$ explains the gapless behaviors observed in simulations on smaller systems with less than 300 spins or shorter than 10 unit cell length. We also discuss experimental implications of the topological excitations encoded in our symmetric tensors.

description: Diese Masterarbeit untersucht, inwieweit Lernerfahrungen und Erlebnisse während der Schulzeit die Bereitschaft zu einer beruflichen Aus- oder Weiterbildung bei gehörlosen Erwachsenen fördern beziehungsweise hemmen. Dazu werden Daten anhand qualitativer Interviews mit vier gehörlosen Erwachsenen gewonnen. Unter Beizug bestehender Theorien und der qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse werden fördernde beziehungsweise hemmende Faktoren genannt. Eine geringe oder gar fehlende Auseinandersetzung während der Schulzeit im Umgang mit herausfordernden Situationen, der Selbstwirksamkeitsüberzeugung, dem selbstgesteuerten Lernen und der Identitätsentwicklung führt dazu, dass die Basis für ein lebenslanges berufliches Weiterlernen fehlt. Dies erschwert den weiteren Bildungsweg. Wenn diese fehlende Basis jedoch eigenaktiv nachgeholt wird, erhöht das die Bereitschaft zu lebenslangem Weiterlernen.
Self in marriage, marriage in the self: negotiating 'modern' and 'traditional' values in Thai newlywed marriages

description: Submission note: A thesis submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy to the School of Social Sciences and Communications, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, La Trobe University, Bundoora.

Recent debates in studies of family and relationships have paid great attention to the transformation of marriage. The dichotomy of ‘traditional’ and ‘modern’ marriage has proved useful in conceptualizing different marriage types; however, it may also limit our understanding of the transformation of marriage. How are discourses around these competing marriage models negotiated by individuals? And how do these negotiations influence their construction of marriage? This thesis elaborates on these questions by analysing the experiences of twenty-two Thai newlyweds in order to explore the ways they develop married selves and marriages through navigating the competing ideals of tradition and modernity. In[-]depth interviews were conducted both individually and together, then analysed through a symbolic interactionist approach. The approach contributes to making sense of how married selves are developed in self-reflexivity and how ‘joint actions’ in marital situations are achieved by pointing to the agency of individuals. I argue that marriage is an arena of ‘practice’ in which newlyweds develop a ‘married self’ in relation to the meaning attached to marriage and marital roles. The newlyweds’ experiences demonstrate that both the ‘modern’ and ‘traditional’ values are sets of ideas from which the couples choose in creating their particular version of the marital relationship. Thus, I argue that what happens in Thai marriages neither follows a rigid pattern/fixed script determined by ‘tradition’, nor demonstrates a complete freedom of choice and self-fulfilment as suggested by ideas of ‘modernity’. Rather, experiences of becoming married are an example of ‘family practice’—doing and action in family relations. This reinforces the notion that traditional and modern values are not able to be assumed as something ‘real’ that can be uncritically described, but rather are social constructions to which individuals and groups have different relationships at different times, enabling those constructions to be subject to change over time and to vary across individuals/groups.
