Multidimensional Cosmology with a Generalized Maxwell Field: Integrable Cases
Creators: name: Bronnikov, Kirill A.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1997
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We consider multidimensional cosmologies in even-dimensional space-times (D=2n) containg perfect fluid and a multidimensional generalization of the Maxwell field, preserving its conformal invariance (the F field, an n-form). Among models with an isotropic physical 3-space some integrable cases are found: vacuum models (which are integrable in the general case) and some perfect fluid models with barotropic equations of state. All of them contain a component of the F field appearing as an additional scalar in 4 dimensions. A two-parameter family of spatially flat models and four one-parameter families, including non-spatially flat models, have been obtained (where the parameters are constants from the fluid equation of state). All these integrable models admit the inclusion of a massless scalar field or an additional fluid with ultrastiff equation of state. Basic properties of vacuum models in the physical conformal frame are outlined.

description: My dissertation project, ‘Reimagining the Modern Hindu Self: Caste, Untouchability and Hindu Theology in Colonial South Asia, 1899-1948’ examines the interrelationship between modern forms of Hinduness and the narratives of Progressivism in the context of Maharashtra, a region in Western India. I present a thick description of the complex social world of Marathi intellectuals and cultural actors of the early twentieth century through various discursive/philosophical writings, journals, newspapers, pamphlets, personal correspondence, biographies, as well as a wide range of literary corpus of novels, plays and literary criticism in Marathi. My project hopes to demonstrate that a deeper engagement with the vernacular discourses would be enriching and productive for South Asian intellectual history. My methodology involved an exploration of the dialogic and transformational relationships between the centre and the peripheries of ‘Hinduness’ across disparate sites of discursive productions like non-Brahmin print publics, theological debates and literary culture. Through an examination of the ways in which the various peripheries of Hinduness – like Untouchables, the non-Brahmin, the non-Hindu and the women – had transformed the ideas of what constituted the core of modern Hinduness, I argue that the various narratives of Maharashtra’s progressivism and a complex phenomenon of modern Hinduness were deeply implicated in the production of each other in the first half of the twentieth century. My project identifies untouchables, women, anti-caste intellectuals, toilet cleaners, translators of Sanskrit texts and people who fasted unto death as crucial actors in this reimagination of modern Hindu self. Also, by providing a regionally specific history of Hindu ethic, my project challenges the Pan-Indian narrative of universal Hinduism that is privileged in the historiography of South Asia and enables me to argue that the ethical value of Hinduness was inherently political and the universal idea of Hinduness did not emerge through a singular genealogy. It is in the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi in 1948, that the contradiction between the ethical and political aspects of Hinduness became significant. My project is to write a long and complex history of this imperative moment that coincided with the dawn of independent India.
A new quantum so(2,2) algebra

description: By starting from the non-standard quantum deformation of the sl(2,R) algebra, a new quantum deformation for the real Lie algebra so(2,2) is constructed by imposing the former to be a Hopf subalgebra of the latter. The quantum so(2,2) algebra so obtained is realized as a quantum conformal algebra of the (1+1) Minkowskian spacetime. This Hopf algebra is shown to be the symmetry algebra of a time discretization of the (1+1) wave equation and its contraction gives rise to a new $(2+1)$ quantum Poincaré algebra.

description: Location: JC Room F This session is for faculty members who are frustrated when students come to class without completing the assigned reading. This session will provide strategies and recommendations to increase active reading, critical thinking, and engagement in the classroom. Are you tired of coming to class excited and ready for students to engage in the reading, only to find a handful of students, at best, have actually completed the reading? Participants will learn multiple strategies and recommendations to increase active reading and engagement. As students implement these interlocking strategies they gain valuable techniques of how to read more effectively and have greater agency over their learning experience. Each of the strategies can be adopted and edited to meet student needs and course requirements. Presenters will demonstrate the ways in which these strategies assist in holding students accountable to the course readings, while also increasing reading comprehension. Additionally, they will discuss how the strategies have been implemented in 100 to 500 level courses. As a result of this session, instructors will be able to implement various interlocking strategies to increase student's active reading skills, critical thinking, and engagement. In turn, faculty members will find that more students are willing to productively participate, ask questions, and interrogate course concepts.

Semi-classical gravity in de Sitter spacetime and the cosmological constant

description: We show that there exist solutions to the semi-classical gravity equations in de Sitter spacetime sourced by the renormalised stress-energy tensor of a free Klein-Gordon field. For the massless scalar, solutions exist for every possible value of the cosmological constant, provided that the curvature coupling parameter is chosen appropriately. In the massive case, imposing Wald's axioms for the renormalised stress-energy tensor, the mass of the field and the curvature coupling constraint the allowed values of $Λ$. For a massive, minimally coupled field, a "small $Λ$" solution is found, fixed by the relation $m^2 \simeq 4.89707 \times 10^{12} Λ$. We emphasise that in this framework, the {\it old} cosmological constant problem in its standard formulation plays no rôle, in the sense that there are no bare-vs-physical values of $Λ$, for only the physical $Λ$ appears in the semi-classical equations, and the value that it is allowed to take is fixed or restricted by the equations themselves. We explain that there is an important relation between the cosmological constant problem and the violation of Wald's stress-energy renormalisation axioms.

description: We present a systematic approach to deriving normal forms and related amplitude equations for flows and discrete dynamics on the center manifold of a dynamical system at local bifurcations and unfoldings of these. We derive a general, explicit recurrence relation that completely determines the amplitude equation and the associated transformation from amplitudes to physical space. At any order, the relation provides explicit expressions for all the nonvanishing coefficients of the amplitude equation together with straightforward linear equations for the coefficients of the transformation. The recurrence relation therefore provides all the machinery needed to solve a given physical problem in physical terms through an amplitude equation. The new result applies to any local bifurcation of a flow or map for which all the critical eigenvalues are semisimple i.e. have Riesz index unity). The method is an efficient and rigorous alternative to more intuitive approaches in terms of multiple time scales. We illustrate the use of the method by deriving amplitude equations and associated transformations for the most common simple bifurcations in flows and iterated maps. The results are expressed in tables in a form that can be immediately applied to specific problems.

Decision making

description: Reinforcement learning (RL) is a generic paradigm for the modeling and optimization of sequential decision making. In the recent decade, progress in RL research has brought about breakthroughs in several applications, ranging from playing video games, mastering board games, to controlling simulated robots. To bring the potential benefits of RL to other domains, two elements are critical: (1) Efficient and general-purpose RL algorithms; (2) Formulations of the original applications into RL problems. These two points are the focus of this thesis. We start by developing more efficient RL algorithms. In Chapter 2, we propose Taylor Expansion Policy Optimization, a model-free algorithmic framework that unifies a number of important prior work as special cases. This unifying framework also allows us to develop a natural algorithmic extension to prior work, with empirical performance gains. In Chapter 3, we propose Monte-Carlo Tree Search as Regularized Policy Optimization, a model-based framework that draws close connections between policy optimization and Monte-Carlo tree search. Building on this insight, we propose Policy Optimization Zero (POZero), a novel algorithm which leverages the strengths of regularized policy search to achieve significant performance gains over MuZero. To showcase how RL can be applied to other domains where the original applications could benefit from learning systems, we study the acceleration of integer programming (IP) solvers with RL. Due to the ubiquity of IP solvers in industrial applications, such research holds the promise of significant real life impacts and practical values. In Chapter 4, we focus on a particular formulation of Reinforcement Learning for Integer Programming: Learning to Cut. By combining cutting plane methods with selection rules learned by RL, we observe that the RL-augmented cutting plane solver achieves significant performance gains over traditional heuristics. This serves as a proof-of-concept of how RL can be combined with general IP solvers, and how learning augmented optimization systems might achieve significant acceleration in general.

Popular music--Social aspects

description: This dissertation analyses identity formation through music among contemporary Colombian musicians. The work focuses on the emergence of musical fusions in Bogotá, which participant musicians and Colombian media have called "nueva música Colombiana" (new Colombian music). The term describes the work of bands that assimilate and transform North-American music genres such as jazz, rock, and hip-hop, and blend them with music historically associated with Afro-Colombian communities such as cumbia and currulao, to produce several popular and experimental musical styles. In the last decade, these new fusions have begun circulating outside Bogotá, becoming the distinctive sound of young Colombia domestically and internationally. The dissertation focuses on questions of musical circulation, affect, and taste as a means for articulating difference, working on the self, and generating attachments others and therefore social bonds and communities. This dissertation considers musical fusion from an ontological perspective influenced by actor-network, non-representational, and assemblage theory. Such theories consider a fluid social world, which emerges from the web of associations between heterogeneous human and material entities. The dissertation traces the actions, interactions, and mediations between places, people, institutions, and recordings that enable the emergence of new Colombian music. In considering those associations, it places close attention to the affective relationships between people and music. In that sense, instead of thinking on relatively fixed and consistent relationships between music, place, and identity, built upon discursive or imagined ties, the work considers each of these concepts as a network of relations enmeshed with each other and in consistent re-articulation.

Acting separately advection and dumping do not lead to an essential intermittency of the steady scalar statistics, while being mixed together produce a very strong non-Gaussianity in the convective range: $q$-th (positive) moment of the absolute value of scalar difference, $ $ is proportional to $r^{ξ_{q}}$, $ξ_{q}=\sqrt{d^{2}/4+αdq/[ (d-1)D]}-d/2$, where $α/D$ measures the rate of the damping in the units of the stretching rate. Probability density function (PDF) of the scalar difference is also found.

description: We investigate the phenomenon of "faster than light" photons in a family of dilaton black hole spacetimes. For radially directed photons, we find that their light-cone condition is modified even though the spacetimes are spherically symmetric. They also satisfy the "horizon theorem" and the "polarization sum rule" of Shore. For orbital photons, the dilatonic effect on the modification of the light-cone condition can become more dominant than the electromagnetic and the gravitational ones as the orbit gets closer to the event horizon in the extremal or near-extremal cases.

description: New Gold’s Rainy River gold mine near Fort Frances, Ontario, is actively producing 250 ounces of gold per year and also plans to generate 177M tonnes of mine rock to be stored in mine rock storage areas (MRSAs). While MRSAs can pose certain environmental risks, New Gold has taken a proactive approach to risk mitigation. New Gold developed a reclamation and closure plan guided by a risk-based approach using a Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA). An outcome of the FMEA was a commitment to conduct cover system and revegetation trials on pilot scale MRSAs. The trials will lower the risk associated with the effective establishment of the desired vegetation types and returning land use. The revegetation trial was designed in partnership with local indigenous communities, testing four cover system amendments, nine vegetation prescriptions and erosion control measures in a randomized complete block experiment. Each aspect of the study was designed to address a specific failure mode of the FMEA. Although the trial is in the early stages of a multi-year monitoring program, the risk-based approach has led to focused results that contribute directly to closure planning and has provided the framework to clearly demonstrate alignment with stakeholder expectations.

Historic preservation

description: This project argues for the interpretation of NASA’s historic space probes. Robotic space exploration programs have permanently transformed humans’ understanding of Earth, but the probes at the center of NASA’s first pioneering missions to deep space in the 1960s and 1970s will never return to their origin. Today, the historical significance of these objects is embodied in a network of resources that reflect triumphs of human curiosity, not just advancements in technology. The widely unrecognized contributions that women and men made to the history of “unmanned” space exploration reveal themselves on Earth through the enduring infrastructure that humans built and the data that humans rendered in their pursuit to understand the Solar System.
      After a review of the existing literature on outer space preservation, I outline the historical significance of space probes and establish interpretive themes designed to articulate the perspective that probes help generate, the human ingenuity underlying the development and operation of probes, and the impact of discoveries that robotic space exploration has enabled. I argue that by relying on the data returned to Earth by space probes and by considering a significant site at which these data were historically received, space probes can be meaningfully interpreted for public audiences. The project concludes with a proposal for reinterpreting the Pioneer Deep Space Station radio antenna site at Goldstone Deep Space Communications Complex, based on analysis of current interpretations and effective case study methods.

The data base that represents the phase space structure generated by the data is updated dynamically. This also allows filtering of non-stationary signals and dynamic parameter adjustment. We discuss exemplary applications, including the real time extraction of the fetal electrocardiogram from abdominal recordings.

Helium Absorption at 1083 nm from Extended Exoplanet Atmospheres: Dependence on Stellar Radiation

Subjects: subject: Earth and Planetary Astrophysics (astro-ph.EP)

description: Strong absorption signatures in the helium line at 1083 nm have recently been detected in transmission spectra of several close-in exoplanets. This absorption line originates from neutral helium atoms in an excited, metastable 2$^3$S state. The population of helium atoms in this excited state is governed by the spectral shape and intensity of the incident stellar radiation field. We investigate what kind of stellar environments are most favorable for populating the metastable helium state in extended planetary atmospheres. Our results suggest that planets orbiting at close separations from late-type stars, particularly K stars, are the most promising candidates for transit absorption signals at 1083 nm. This result is supported by observations, as all four exoplanets with currently reported helium detections orbit K-type stars. In general, conditions for exciting helium atoms become more favorable at closer orbital separations, and around stars with higher levels of extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) flux, which ionizes the helium ground state, and lower levels of mid-ultraviolet (mid-UV) flux, which ionizes the helium metastable state.

description: We present a perturbation theory for studying thermodynamic properties of the Kondo spin liquid phase of the half-filled Kondo lattice model. The grand partition function is derived to calculate chemical potential, spin and charge susceptibilities and specific heat. The treatment is applicable to the model with strong couplings in any dimensions (one, two and three dimensions). The chemical potential equals zero at any temperatures, satisfying the requirement of the particle-hole symmetry. Thermally activated behaviors of the spin(charge) susceptibility due to the spin(quasiparticle) gap can be seen and the two-peak structure of the specific heat is obtained. The same treatment to the periodic Anderson model around atomic limit is also briefly discussed.

description: Location: Dewberry Hall Many scholars agree that quality faculty-student interactions have positive implications on the overall student experience (Komarraju & Bhattacharaya, 2010; Micari & Pazos, 2012;). Elements of quality faculty-student interactions include accessibility, caring attitude, approachability, and many more (Cokley, Komarraju, Rosales, Pickett & Patel, 2007). Student development scholars indicate that quality faculty-student interactions are instrumental to interpersonal and intrapersonal student development (Tinto, 1975). Although teaching and research are the main components of a faculty role, advising naturally folds into this nature of work. The goal of the poster presentation is two-fold, and it aims to (a) inform Faculty of the Mason Academic Advisor Network (MAAN), and (b): provide resources that are designed to assist Faculty in regards to advising. Examples of resources that will be discussed include the following: The Mason Advisor Certificate Program (MAC), Webinars presented by the National Academic Advising Association (NACADA), and MAAN informational sharing platforms. MAC is a 6 module training series for faculty and advisors on topics related to student success, policy, and advising tools. The training series is comprised of the following modules: Academic Advising Foundations, Academics and Undergraduate Policy, Advising Tools and Resources, Building Rapport with Students, Working with Special Populations, and Transfer Admissions Policies and Procedures. Modules are offered every semester and they are taught by expert advisors at Mason. The NACADA professional development webinars include topics such as building self-efficacy within students and the Advising as Teaching Model. Participants will learn more about the advising resources that are provided by the Mason Academic Advisor Network which can inform their work/interactions with students. Faculty will also benefit from this resource by learning about our informational share opportunities, professional development webinars, and cross campus collaborations that will ultimately cater to holistic student development. https://advising.gmu.edu/mason-advisors/maan/

description: New pyridine derivatives bearing p-dimethyl amino phenyl and p-bromophenyl moieties at position-4 and 6 have been prepared. The behavior of pyridone derivative 2 toward ethyl chloroacetate followed by hydrazine hydrate gave pyridinyl acetohydrazide derivative 7, and its behavior toward carbon electrophiles has been investigated by its reaction with aromatic aldehydes, ethyl acetoacetate, acetyl acetone, cyclohexanone, phthalic anhydride, maleic anhydride, and isatin affording the pyridine derivatives 8a–e to 16, respectively. Treatment of compound 2 with acrylonitrile in Et3N, yielded the N- alkylated derivative 17. Some pyrazole derivatives have been synthesized by interaction of the chalcone 1 with hydrazine hydrate afforded pyrazole derivative 18. Treatment of compound 18 with benzoyl chloride and or acetic anhydride resulted in the formation of the acylated compounds 19 and 20. Elemental and spectroscopic pieces of evidence characterized all the newly synthesized compounds. Some of the synthesized compounds were tested for their antibacterial activities against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
Using Discord To Foster A Learning Community

description: **2014 University Teaching Excellence Award Winner** Location: Dewberry Hall I use a Discord server to help students in all of my game courses. Students form a support community. It improves their ability to overcome blocks doing assignments. My game design students are tasked with some pretty technical work. They need to learn tough 3D programs. If you’ve ever tried to get a cranky printer to work, or figure out why Word is formatting you pictures like a Tetris-puzzle, then you understand that technology is cranky and it breaks, a lot. Because of this volatility, it’s easy for students to become derailed on assignments. I use step by step tutorial videos to help students learn, but they can’t cover all rocky roads a student may travel. The great need identified here, is that students need help—more help than I can give in email. Discord is the answer. Discord is a VOIP ap for computers and phones that allows a group of people to message each other. Like Facebook or Slack, anyone in the group can chat with each other, whenever they want. They can sent emojis and share memes. What they really do is share knowledge, bolster each other, and form a learning community, a 24-hour, 7 days a week learning community. In my 4 courses, I have some 85 students. Eighty of the them have joined the VOLUNTARY discord chat for the courses. Now, only half (terribly vague data that needs---real data) of them participate regularly, defined as posting once or twice a week. More meaningful numbers are how many problems have been solved. As of this writing in just ONE course in 7 weeks, 40 questions have been asked and answered that directly pertain to coursework. I answered half of them. Students answered the others. By helping one student, many of them benefit. In my poster I’ll show my discord server, talk about how it works, show how students use it and answer questions and concerns about privacy, collegiality, and other relevant issues.

description: We provide a fully general-relativistic treatment of cosmological perturbations in a universe permeated by a large-scale primordial magnetic field, using the Ellis-Bruni gauge-invariant formalism. The exact non-linear equations for general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic evolution are derived. A number of applications are made: the behaviour of small perturbations to Friedmann universes are studied; a comparison is made with earlier Newtonian treatments of cosmological perturbations and some effects of inflationary expansion are examined.

Rejuvenating Communism: The Communist Youth League as a Political Promotion Channel in Post-Mao China

description: How does the Chinese Party-State renew its political elite and maintain its cohesion in the post-Mao era? This is a key question to understand the evolution of China’s political system and still the explanations one can find in the literature are far from satisfactory. Overall, the literature on transformation of the Chinese political elite focuses on the broad outcomes, the fact that since the 1980s officials tend to be younger and more educated, but it falls short in unveiling the mechanisms at play. It gives a limited answer to the elite renewal issue as it leaves politics aside. By focusing on educational levels and technical skills it forgets about the importance of political commitment.
      I approach these questions through a unique account of the role played by the Chinese Communist Youth League (CYL) in terms of cadres’ recruitment and promotion since the 1980s. Using biographical data and a snowball sample of 92 interviewees I reconstructed the trajectories of CYL cadres. Beyond my focus on the central organization of the CYL in Beijing, I compared the situation of the CYL in the capital cities of two very different provinces and in four universities. Through this mixed methods approach, I could assess the evolution of the CYL as a path to power in post-Mao China. My main findings are as follows:
      First, due to post-Cultural Revolution politics and the need for leaders at the time to recruit loyal young cadres, a “sponsored mobility” system was developed to renew the Party-State’s elite. College students are recruited and trained through the Party’s youth organizations. They are put then on a unique promotion path, which includes specific opportunities and trainings, and which leads them to leadership position in the Party-State. This contrasts with what happened in the Soviet case in particular. Under Khrushchev (1953-1964), the Soviet elite was renewed through the cooptation of professionals with technical skills rather than by recruiting young cadres who spent their whole career in the Party-State.
      Second, through the various steps of the sponsored mobility process, the young recruits develop a specific social role as future officials and transform their social circles. As a result, they cultivate a political commitment to their career in the Party-State and to the survival of the regime. Third, the decentralized nature of the Party-State and its youth organizations make it difficult for the young recruits to establish cohesive groups which could organize against the Party-State itself.

description: Faced with unresolved tensions between neutrino interaction measurements at few-GeV neutrino energies, current experiments are forced to accept large systematic uncertainties to cover discrepancies between their data and model predictions. In this paper, the widely used pion production model in GENIE is compared to four MINERvA charged current pion production measurements using NUISANCE. Tunings, ie, adjustments of model parameters, to help match GENIE to MINERvA and older bubble chamber data are presented here. We find that scattering off nuclear targets as measured in MINERvA is not in good agreement with scattering off nucleon (hydrogen or deuterium) targets in the bubble chamber data. An additional ad hoc correction for the low-$Q^2$ region, where collective effects are expected to be large, is also presented. While these tunings and corrections improve the agreement of GENIE with the data, the modeling is imperfect. The development of these tunings within the NUISANCE frameworkallows for straightforward extensions to other neutrino event generators and models, and allows omitting and including new data sets as they become available.
