title: Regular variation on Polish spaces, continuous maps and compound maxima
Creators: name: Milinčević, Nikolina
Publisher: name: Universität Bern
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: 510 Mathematics

description: This thesis focuses on regular variation in Polish spaces equipped with the general notion of scaling, bornology, and modulus. The bornology represents the collection of bounded sets, while the modulus generalises the metric to an arbitrary continuous Borel homogeneous function. We define and characterise regular variation and give numerous examples that show how the choice of scaling and bornology affects this definition.
The main part of the thesis concerns continuous maps of regularly varying elements. We examine continuous bornologically consistent morphisms and show that, in many cases, they preserve the regular variation property. We start with a regularly varying random element ξ with a tail measure μ, defined on the Polish space X endowed with continuous scaling and topologically and scaling consistent bornology with countable base. We then map it continuously by a bornologically consistent morphism ψ to a space Y with the same properties as X. We show that if ψμ is nontrivial on the bornology on Y that satisfies given properties, then ψξ is regularly varying in Y. This result is further applied to the polar decomposition map and quotient mapping, among others. As in some simpler spaces, we decompose ξ into an ”angular” part that belongs to the set of all points with modulus one, and into a ”modular” part and show that this modular part is also regularly varying. Conditionally on modulus being large, we obtain a nontrivial limit of their joint distribution. This limit is expressed as a product measure of the Pareto-type measure and the spectral measure of ξ.
For the continuous quotient map, we show that even though ξ is regularly varying, its equivalent class as a closed subset of X can contain both regularly varying and non-regularly varying selections. We show that if the selection map is chosen to be homogeneous with respect to scaling and if it minimises the modulus of the whole equivalence class, then the selected element is also regularly varying.
In the last chapter, we consider an independent and identically distributed sequence (Xn) of random variables that belong to some maximum domain of attraction. We consider H = max{Xi : i = 1, 2, . . . ,K}, where K is a positive random integer with finite expectation. We show that as long as K is a stopping time with respect to the filtration generated by the sequence (Xn) and possibly some random element independent of the sequence (Xn), then H is in the same maximum domain of attraction as X1. We apply this result to some marked renewal cluster processes where we observe the maximum of all the observations that arrived until moment t > 0. Since this problem often arises in insurance models, it can be interpreted as a maximal claim problem until time t. We show that after proper normalisation, the maximal claim until time t converges in distribution to the distribution G if X1 is in the maximum domain of attraction of distribution G.

description: Polycrystalline silicon thin film solar cell layer systems on glass were prepared in a two-step process
based on first generating a seed layer by diode laser crystallization followed by epitaxial thickening. This latter step
also was performed via the melt by diode laser treatment, partly after a solid phase furnace annealing step. The laser
parameters required for epitaxy were determined. The crystal structure was investigated by EBSD. 1 μm thick solar
cells without RTA treatment, without hydrogen passivation, and without light trapping delivered a maximum open
circuit voltage of 240 mV and a maximum short circuit current of 8 mA/cm².

description: Engineering innovations in transport are insufficient alone to combat its effects on the climate crisis. ‘Driving style’ – the way a driver prefers to or habitually drives their vehicle – significantly impacts fuel consumption and exhaust emissions. However, changes from an ‘aggressive’ to a more refined style – ‘eco-driving’ – offers overlooked opportunities for emissions savings. In this thesis, I explore how individual differences including personality, wellbeing and aspects of demography are related to objective eco-driving behaviours in a sample of monitored drivers. By adopting an interdisciplinary approach, this thesis incorporates methods from psychology and computer science to consider both theoretical and methodological implications. Substantially, findings across the research point to an emerging and central role of emotion dysfunction as a key influence in drivers’ inefficient operational driving behaviours. Moreover, a clear intention – behaviour gap is identified between drivers’ self-report intentions to eco-drive and their objective eco-driving behaviours. Recommendations illustrate how these insights can be translated into digital behaviour change interventions (DBCI) to encourage sustained changes in drivers’ ecological driving efficiency.

description: Since the pioneering discovery of molecular resonances in the 12C+12C reaction more than half a century ago a great deal of research work has been undertaken in alpha clustering. Our knowledge on physics of nuclear molecules has increased considerably and nuclear clustering remains one of the most fruitful domains of nuclear physics, facing some of the greatest challenges and opportunities in the years ahead. The occurrence of "exotic" shapes and Bose-Einstein alpha condensates in light N=Z alpha-conjugate nuclei is investigated. Various approaches of the superdeformed and hyperdeformed bands associated with quasimolecular resonant structures are presented. Evolution of clustering from stability to the drip-lines is examined: clustering aspects are, in particular, discussed for light exotic nuclei with large neutron excess such as neutron-rich Oxygen isotopes with their complete spectroscopy.

description: We report discovery of several energetic radio bursts at 34 MHz, using the Gauribidanur radio telescope. The radio bursts exhibit two important properties associated with the propagation of astronomical signals through the interstellar medium: (i) frequency dependent dispersive delays across the observing bandwidth, and (ii) Faraday rotation of the plane of linear polarization. These bursts sample a range of dispersion measures (DM; 1.4--3.6$~{\rm pc}~{\rm cm}^{-3}$), and show DM-variation at timescales of the order of a minute. Using groups of bursts having a consistent DM, we show that the bursts have originated from the radio-quiet gamma-ray pulsar Geminga. Detection of these bursts supports the existence of occasional radio emission from Geminga. The rare occurrence of these bursts, and the short timescale variation in their DM (if really caused by the intervening medium or the pulsar magnetosphere), might provide clues as to why the pulsar has not been detected in earlier sensitive searches. We present details of the observations and search procedure used to discover these bursts, a detailed analysis of their properties, and evidences of these bursts being associated with Geminga pulsar, and discuss briefly the possible emission mechanism of these bursts.

description: Part of a collection of correspondence between Adrian Stokes and Herbert Read spanning from 1934-1962. Stokes was a painter and art critic who also had an interest in psychoanalysis. It was largely due to his efforts and work that the small fishing port of St. Ives became a centre of modernist art culture. In this letter Stokes thanks Read for a published review, and invites Read and his wife to the ballet.

description: We present a study of the wind launching region of the Herbig Be star HD 58647 using high angular (lambda/2B=0.003") and high spectral (R=12000) resolution interferometric VLTI-AMBER observations of the near-infrared hydrogen emission line, Br-gamma. The star displays double peaks in both Br-gamma line profile and wavelength-dependent visibilities. The wavelength-dependent differential phases show S-shaped variations around the line centre. The visibility level increases in the line (by ~0.1) at the longest projected baseline (88 m), indicating that the size of the line emission region is smaller than the size of the K-band continuum-emitting region, which is expected to arise near the dust sublimation radius of the accretion disc. The data have been analysed using radiative transfer models to probe the geometry, size and physical properties of the wind that is emitting Br-gamma. We find that a model with a small magnetosphere and a disc wind with its inner radius located just outside of the magnetosphere can well reproduce the observed Br-gamma profile, wavelength-dependent visibilities, differential and closure phases, simultaneously. The mass-accretion and mass-loss rates adopted for the model are Mdot_a = 3.5 x 10^{-7} Msun/yr and Mdot_dw = 4.5 x 10^{-8} Msun/yr, respectively (Mdot_dw/Mdot_a =0.13). Consequently, about 60 per cent of the angular momentum loss rate required for a steady accretion with the measured accretion rate is provide by the disc wind. The small magnetosphere in HD 58647 does not contribute to the Br-gamma line emission significantly.

description: We study a Stackelberg game between a base station and a multi-antenna power beacon for wireless energy harvesting in a multiple sensor node scenario. Assuming imperfect CSI between the sensor nodes and the power beacon, we propose a utility function that is based on throughput non-outage probability at the base station. We provide an analytical solution for the equilibrium in case of a single sensor node. For the general case consisting of multiple sensor nodes, we provide upper and lower bounds on the power and price (players' strategies). We compare the bounds with solutions resulting from an exhaustive search and a relaxed semidefinite program, and find the upper bound to be tight.

description: The ability of humans to combine sounds, gestures, and signs sets us apart from other animals. Cognitive science and neuroscience, through neuroimaging, are studying the relationship between language structure and the brain. They aim to identify the neuronal connections activated during the process of reading. Reading, unlike innate abilities, must be learned since our primate brain did not evolve specifically for reading and writing. Creating children’s books requires consideration of various factors related to cognitive development and the neurobiological processes involved in reading. When crafting a text for a general audience, it is important to simplify complex concepts without trivializing them, while still capturing the essence of the subject matter. In this paper, I will discuss how I created a children’s book and how it served as the catalyst for an educational project. This project was implemented in schools, bookshops, libraries, and particularly museums, providing an exciting and rewarding challenge. Like any good story, it begins with “Once upon a time...”

description: Employing density functional theory-based methods, we investigate monolayer and bilayer structures of hexagonal SnS$_{2}$, which is recently synthesized monolayer metal dichalcogenide. Comparison of 1H and 1T phases of monolayer SnS$_{2}$ confirms the ground state to be the 1T phase. In its bilayer structure we examine different stacking configurations of the two layers. It is found that the interlayer coupling in bilayer SnS$_{2}$ is weaker than that of typical transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) so that alternative stacking orders have similar structural parameters and they are separated with low energy barriers. Possible signature of the stacking order in SnS$_{2}$ bilayer has been sought in the calculated absorbance and reflectivity spectra. We also study the effects of the external electric field, charging, and loading pressure on the characteristic properties of bilayer SnS$_{2}$. It is found that (i) the electric field increases the coupling between the layers at its prefered stacking order, so the barrier height increases, (ii) the bang gap value can be tuned by the external E-field and under sufficient E-field, the bilayer SnS$_{2}$ can become semi-metal, (iii) the most favorable stacking order can be switched by charging and (iv) a loading pressure exceeding 3 GPa changes the stacking order. E-field tunable bandgap and easy-tunable stacking sequence of SnS$_{2}$ layers make this 2D crystal structure a good candidate for field effect transistor and nanoscale lubricant applications.

description: We calculate the joint min--max distribution and the Edwards-Anderson's order parameter for the circular model of $1 / f$-noise. Both quantities, as well as generalisations, are obtained exactly by combining the freezing-duality conjecture and Jack-polynomial techniques. Numerical checks come with significantly improved control of finite-size effects in the glassy phase, and the results convincingly validate the freezing-duality conjecture. Application to diffusive dynamics is discussed. We also provide a formula for the pre-factor ratio of the joint/marginal Carpentier-Le Doussal tail for minimum/maximum which applies to any logarithmic random energy model.

description: Not much light trapping is expected when light traverses silicon film from a texture feature of underlying
glass substrate to the texture feature growing from the same texture, since PECVD silicon film surface to some extent
inherit the texture of the glass, in which case the two textured surfaces are quasi-planar. However, clear surface
decoupling is observed between Aluminium Induced Textured (AIT) glass surfaces and silicon film surfaces grown on
glass in cross-section focused ion beam (FIB) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) images in this investigation. The
correlation coefficient between decoupled surfaces is introduced, characterizing the surface decoupling degree. The
coefficient is calculated using the results from a model developed by the authors, which calculates the topography of the
silicon film based on surface topography of AIT glass measured by Atomic Force Microscope (AFM). We have
demonstrated that the ideal photocurrent density (assuming unity internal quantum efficiency) correlates well with this
coefficient, and therefore the surface decoupling degree, providing a new way of estimating the light trapping capability
of bare textured glass without depositing light absorbing film on it.

description: Monolayer black phosphorus (MBP) is an interesting emerging electronic material with a direct band gap and relatively high carrier mobility. In this work we report a theoretical investigation of nonequilibrium spin injection and spin-polarized quantum transport in MBP from ferromagnetic Ni contacts, in two-dimensional magnetic tunneling structures. We investigate physical properties such as the spin injection efficiency, the tunnel magnetoresistance ratio, spin-polarized currents, charge currents and transmission coefficients as a function of external bias voltage, for two different device contact structures where MBP is contacted by Ni(111) and by Ni(100). While both structures are predicted to give respectable spin-polarized quantum transport, the Ni(100)/MBP/Ni(100) trilayer has the superior properties where the spin injection and magnetoresistance ratio maintains almost a constant value against the bias voltage. The nonequilibrium quantum transport phenomenon is understood by analyzing the transmission spectrum at nonequilibrium.

description: We have carried out a statistical study on the mid- and far-infrared (IR) properties of Galactic IR bubbles observed by Spitzer. Using the Spitzer 8 $μ{\rm m}$ images, we estimated the radii and covering fractions of their shells, and categorized them into closed, broken and unclassified bubbles with our data analysis method. Then, using the AKARI all-sky images at wavelengths of 9, 18, 65, 90, 140 and 160 $μ{\rm m}$, we obtained the spatial distributions and the luminosities of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH), warm and cold dust components by decomposing 6-band spectral energy distributions with model fitting. As a result, 180 sample bubbles show a wide range of the total IR luminosities corresponding to the bolometric luminosities of a single B-type star to many O-type stars. For all the bubbles, we investigated relationships between the radius, luminosities and luminosity ratios, and found that there are overall similarities in the IR properties among the bubbles regardless of their morphological types. In particular, they follow a power-law relation with an index of $\sim$3 between the total IR luminosity and radius, as expected from the conventional picture of the Str$\rm{\ddot{o}}$mgren sphere. The exceptions are large broken bubbles; they indicate higher total IR luminosities, lower fractional luminosities of the PAH emission, and dust heating sources located nearer to the shells. We discuss the implications of those differences for a massive star-formation scenario.

description: Fortschritte in der Arzneimittelforschung haben zur raschen Entdeckung potenter Hit-Peptide geführt, die bevorzugte Gerüste für die gezielte Beeinflussung von Protein-Protein-Wechselwirkungen (PPI) oder Protein-Nukleinsäure-Wechselwirkungsstellen darstellen, bei denen es sich in der Regel um große, funktionslose hydrophobe Schnittstellen handelt. Hit-Peptide, die typischerweise in den chemischen Raum der "beyond- rule-of-five" (bRo5) fallen und hauptsächlich aus kanonischen Aminosäuren bestehen, haben in der Regel eine schlechte Pharmakokinetik und Membranpermeabilität. In Kapitel 2 haben wir versucht, die Membranpermeabilität von Peptiden durch den Einbau von (hetero)aromatischen Linkern in das Peptidgerüst zu verbessern. Als Modellpeptid wurde Sanguinamid A (1) ausgewählt, ein membrandurchlässiges zyklisches Peptid marinen Ursprungs mit einer angemessenen berichteten oralen Bioverfügbarkeit (F = 7 ± 4 %), das einen Thiazolring in seinem Rückgrat aufweist. Sein cysteinhaltiges homodetisches Peptidanalogon wurde als Negativkontrolle entwickelt, während das tert-Butylglycin-haltige Analogon, Danamid F (2, F = 51 ± 9%), unsere Positivkontrolle war. Auf eine Verbindungsbibliothek, die aus Pyridin, Pyridin-N-Oxid und 3-Aminobenzoesäure-Linkern bestand, folgte ein Screening der Membranpermeabilität mittels IAM-Chromatographie. Das Pyridin-haltige Analogon 21 wies einen mit Sanguinamid A vergleichbaren IAM-Wert auf, was auf eine gute Membranpermeabilität hindeutet. Darüber hinaus zeigten1 H-NMR-Studien bei variabler Temperatur, dass die Amide im Rückgrat von 21 ein Wasserstoffbrückenbindungs-HB-Netzwerk bilden könnten, das sich von dem von Sanguinamid A unterscheidet, aber dynamisch ist, um Chamäleonität zu ermöglichen. In Kapitel 3 befassten wir uns mit der späten Funktionalisierung von Peptiden, um unnatürliche Aminosäuren (UAAs) mit Hilfe von Katritzky-Salzen einzuführen. Bei dieser Methode wurden Lysinreste in Katritzky-Salze umgewandelt, gefolgt von photochemischen Giese-Reaktionen unter milden Bedingungen. Die Methode war mit allen kanonischen Aminosäuren und handelsüblichen Harzen und Linkern kompatibel, mit Ausnahme des 2-Chlornitrit-Chlorid-Harzes. Es wurde über einen breiten Substratbereich berichtet, und die Nützlichkeit der Methode wurde durch die selektive Modifizierung eines von zwei Lysinresten des Histon-3-Schwanzpeptids (Reste 1-10), eines von zwei Ornithinresten des zyklischen antibiotischen Peptids Gramicidin S und die Modifizierung des längeren p53-Peptids (15-29) nachgewiesen.

National insights are derived from Rapid Assessment Surveys (RAS), while European-level insights are based on literature reviews and the analysis of the Eurofound online survey "Living, working and COVID-19," conducted between 2020 and 2022.
 The first cycle offered analytical insights into the pandemic's impact across various domains of inequality, including the labor market, the economy, gender pay disparities, pension gaps, gender care gap, gender-based violence, decision-making in politics, human and fundamental rights, and environmental justice. In the second cycle, we updated the quantitative assessment of both national and European indicators, with a particular focus on the experiences of distinct demographic groups. This included young and older individuals, single parents, migrants, refugees, asylum seekers, and members of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ+) communities. The third cycle concentrated on longitudinal data and indicators to uncover the lasting impact of the pandemic and potential actions to tackle future crises. This report showcases the key findings from these cycles, illustrating how the pandemic's profound effects affected individuals across multiple dimensions of inequality. It also identifies recovery strategies and offers insights into methodological approaches for researching similar crises in the future.
Hot accretion flow with radiative cooling: state transitions in black hole X-ray binaries

description: We investigate state transitions in black hole X-ray binaries through different parameters by using two-dimensional axisymmetric hydrodynamical simulation method. For radiative cooling in hot accretion flow, we take into account the bremsstrahlung, synchrotron and synchrotron-self Comptonization self-consistently in the dynamics. Our main result is that the state transitions occur when the accretion rate reaches a critical value $\dot M \sim 3α \dot M_{\rm Edd}$, above which cold and dense clumpy/filamentary structures are formed, embedded within the hot gas. We argued this mode likely corresponds to the proposed two-phase accretion model, which may be responsible for the intermediate state of black hole X-ray binaries. When the accretion rate becomes sufficiently high, the clumpy/filamentary structures gradually merge and settle down onto the mid-plane. Eventually the accretion geometry transforms to a disc-corona configuration. In summary our results are consistent with the truncated accretion scenario for the state transition.

Static Spherically Symmetric Kerr-Schild Metrics and Implications for the Classical Double Copy

description: We discuss the physical interpretation of stress-energy tensors that source static spherically symmetric Kerr-Schild metrics. We find that the sources of such metrics with no curvature singularities or horizons do not simultaneously satisfy the weak and strong energy conditions. Sensible stress-energy tensors usually satisfy both of them. Under most circumstances these sources are not perfect fluids and contain shear stresses. We show that for these systems the classical double copy associates the electric charge density to the Komar energy density. In addition, we demonstrate that the stress-energy tensors are determined by the electric charge density and their conservation equations.

description: Part of a collection of correspondence between Adrian Stokes and Herbert Read spanning from 1934-1962. Stokes was a painter and art critic who also had an interest in psychoanalysis. It was largely due to his efforts and work that the small fishing port of St. Ives became a centre of modernist art culture. In this letter, Stokes thanks Read for a copy of Read's "The Education of Free Men". He goes on to discuss his thoughts of the book in relation to psychoanalysis.
Bulk amplitude and degree of divergence in 4d spin foams

description: We study the 4-d holomorphic Spin Foam amplitude on arbitrary connected 2-complexes and degrees of divergence. With recently developed tools and truncation scheme, we derive a formula for a certain class of graphs, which allows us to write down the value of bulk amplitudes simply based on graph properties. We then generalize the result to arbitrary connected 2-complexes and extract a simple expression for the degree of divergence only in terms of combinatorial properties and topological invariants. The distinct behaviors of the model in different regions of parameter space signal phase transitions. In the regime which is of physical interest for recovering diffeomorphsim symmetry in the continuum limit, the most divergent configurations are melonic graphs. We end with a discussion of physical implications.

description: The assembly of individual two-dimensional materials into van der Waals heterostructures enables the construction of layered three-dimensional materials with desirable electronic and optical properties. A core problem in the fabrication of these structures is the formation of clean interfaces between the individual two-dimensional materials which would affect device performance. We present here a technique for the rapid batch fabrication of van der Waals heterostructures, demonstrated by the controlled production of 22 mono-, bi- and trilayer graphene stacks encapsulated in hexagonal boron nitride with close to 100% yield. For the monolayer devices we found semiclassical mean free paths up to 0.9 micrometer, with the narrowest samples showing clear indications of the transport being affected by boundary scattering. The presented method readily lends itself to fabrication of van der Waals heterostructures in both ambient and controlled atmospheres, while the ability to assemble pre-patterned layers paves the way for complex three-dimensional architectures.

description: It is theoretically and experimentally argued that there may exist bubble or toroid-shaped configurations in some nucleus systems. Based on the nuclear transport model, it is shown that compared with the collision of normal nuclei, there is a depletion of central density of compression with bubble configurations in projectile and target nuclei. This depletion of central compression density may affect some observables in heavy-ion collisions.

Superintegrable systems with a position dependent mass : Kepler-related and Oscillator-related systems

description: The superintegrability of two-dimensional Hamiltonians with a position dependent mass (pdm) is studied (the kinetic term contains a factor $m$ that depends of the radial coordinate). First, the properties of Killing vectors are studied and the associated Noether momenta are obtained. Then the existence of several families of superintegrable Hamiltonians is proved and the quadratic integrals of motion are explicitly obtained. These families include, as particular cases, some systems previously obtained making use of different approaches. We also relate the superintegrability of some of these pdm systems with the existence of complex functions endowed with interesting Poisson bracket properties. Finally the relation of these pdm Hamiltonians with the Euclidean Kepler problem and with the Euclidean harmonic oscillator is analyzed.
