On the density of states in a free CFT and finite volume corrections

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Results from spectral geometry such as Weyl's formula can be used to relate the thermodynamic properties of a free massless field to the spatial manifold on which it is defined. We begin by calculating the free energy in two cases: manifolds posessing a boundary and spheres. The subextensive contributions allow us to test the Cardy-Verlinde formula and offer a new perspective on why it only holds in a free theory if one allows for a change in the overall coefficient. After this we derive an expression for the density of states that takes the form of a Taylor series. This series leads to an improvement over known results when the area of the manifold's boundary is nonzero but much less than the appropriate power of its volume.

description: The orbital distributions of currently observed extrasolar giant planets allow marginally stable orbits for hypothetical, terrestrial planets. In this paper, we propose that many of these systems may not have additional planets on these "stable" orbits, since past dynamical instability among giant planets could have removed them. We numerically investigate the effects of early evolution of multiple giant planets on the orbital stability of the inner, sub-Neptune-like planets which are modeled as test particles, and determine their dynamically unstable region. Previous studies have shown that the majority of such test particles are ejected out of the system as a result of close encounters with giant planets. Here, we show that secular perturbations from giant planets can remove test particles at least down to 10 times smaller than their minimum pericenter distance. Our results indicate that, unless the dynamical instability among giant planets is either absent or quiet like planet-planet collisions, most test particles down to ~0.1 AU within the orbits of giant planets at a few AU may be gone. In fact, out of ~30 % of survived test particles, about three quarters belong to the planet-planet collision cases. We find a good agreement between our numerical results and the secular theory, and present a semi-analytical formula which estimates the dynamically unstable region of the test particles just from the evolution of giant planets. Finally, our numerical results agree well with the observations, and also predict the existence of hot rocky planets in eccentric giant planet systems.

Disentangling the Oxygen Abundance vs Strong Line Ratios with Local Analogs
Creators: name: Navarrete, Benjamín
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Measuring oxygen-to-hydrogen abundance ratio as a metallicity tracer in galaxies has been widely used for local HII regions and star forming galaxies. Towards high redshift, these efforts face difficulties since the emission lines used, mainly the auroral [OIII]4363 for electron temperature with the direct method, are shifted to the IR and they lack good signal-to-noise. We measure, with high precision, the oxygen abundance of about ~15 local analogs of galaxies at redshift ~2.3 and study the relations with the strong emission line ratios. We used optical spectra of the analogs gathered with the Magellan/Echelle spectrograph at the 6.5m Blade Telescope in Las Campanas Observatory. In addition to the optical, we count with IR spectra for some of these analogs taken with the FIRE spectrograph at the same observatory. Using optical and infrared emission lines we can certainly diagnose the nature of the ionization of the gas present in these galaxies, exploring the differences between metallicity calibrations and infer their behavior in the high redshift universe.

description: We demonstrate quantum bath engineering for a superconducting artificial atom coupled to a microwave cavity. By tailoring the spectrum of microwave photon shot noise in the cavity, we create a dissipative environment that autonomously relaxes the atom to an arbitrarily specified coherent superposition of the ground and excited states. In the presence of background thermal excitations, this mechanism increases the state purity and effectively cools the dressed atom state to a low temperature.

description: We construct a three-color Potts-like model for the graphene zigzag edge reconstructed with Stone-Wales carbon rings, in order to study its thermal equilibrium properties. We consider two cases which have different ground-states: the edge with non-passivated dangling carbon bonds and the edge fully passivated with hydrogen. We study the concentration of defects perturbing the ground-state configuration as a function of the temperature. The defect concentration is found to be exponentially dependent on the effective parameters that describe the model at all temperatures. Moreover, we analytically compute the domain size distribution of the defective domains and conclude that it does not have fat-tails. In an appendix, we show how the exchange parameters of the model can be estimated using density functional theory results. Such equilibrium mechanisms place a lower bound on the concentration of defects in zigzag edges, since the formation of such defects is due to non-equilibrium kinetic mechanisms.

description: A unified framework to describe the adiabatic class of ensembles in the generalized statistical mechanics based on Schwammle-Tsallis two parameter (q, q') entropy is proposed. The generalized form of the equipartition theorem, virial theorem and the adiabatic theorem are derived. Each member of the class of ensembles is illustrated using the classical nonrelativistic ideal gas and we observe that the heat functions could be written in terms of the Lambert's W-function in the large N limit. In the microcanonical ensemble we study the effect of gravitational field on classical nonrelativistic ideal gas and a system of hard rods in one dimension and compute their respective internal energy and specific heat. We found that the specific heat can take both positive and negative values depending on the range of the deformation parameters, unlike the case of one parameter Tsallis entropy.

Do all stars in the solar neighbourhood form in clusters? A cautionary note on the use of the distribution of surface densities

description: Bressert et al. recently showed that the surface density distribution of low-mass, young stellar objects (YSOs) in the solar neighbourhood is approximately log-normal. The authors conclude that the star formation process is hierarchical and that only a small fraction of stars form in dense star clusters. Here, we show that the peak and the width of the density distribution are also what follow if all stars form in bound clusters which are not significantly affected by the presence of gas and expand by two-body relaxation. The peak of the surface density distribution is simply obtained from the typical ages (few Myr) and cluster membership number (few hundred) typifying nearby star-forming regions. This result depends weakly on initial cluster sizes, provided that they are sufficiently dense (initial half mass radius of <0.3 pc) for dynamical evolution to be important at an age of a few Myr. We conclude that the degeneracy of the YSO surface density distribution complicates its use as a diagnostic of the stellar formation environment.

description: In modeling multivariate time series, it is important to allow time-varying smoothness in the mean and covariance process. In particular, there may be certain time intervals exhibiting rapid changes and others in which changes are slow. If such time-varying smoothness is not accounted for, one can obtain misleading inferences and predictions, with over-smoothing across erratic time intervals and under-smoothing across times exhibiting slow variation. This can lead to mis-calibration of predictive intervals, which can be substantially too narrow or wide depending on the time. We propose a locally adaptive factor process for characterizing multivariate mean-covariance changes in continuous time, allowing locally varying smoothness in both the mean and covariance matrix. This process is constructed utilizing latent dictionary functions evolving in time through nested Gaussian processes and linearly related to the observed data with a sparse mapping. Using a differential equation representation, we bypass usual computational bottlenecks in obtaining MCMC and online algorithms for approximate Bayesian inference. The performance is assessed in simulations and illustrated in a financial application.

description: The basic principles of the correlation femtoscopy, including its correspondence to the Hanbury Brown and Twiss intensity interferometry, are re-examined. The main subject of the paper is an analysis of the correlation femtoscopy when the source size is as small as the order of the uncertainty limit. It is about 1 fm for the current high energy experiments. Then the standard femtoscopy model of random sources is inapplicable. The uncertainty principle leads to the partial indistinguishability and coherence of closely located emitters that affect the observed femtoscopy scales. In thermal systems the role of corresponding coherent length is taken by the thermal de Broglie wavelength that also defines the size of a single emitter. The formalism of partially coherent phases in the amplitudes of closely located individual emitters is used for the quantitative analysis. The general approach is illustrated analytically for the case of the Gaussian approximation for emitting sources. A reduction of the interferometry radii and a suppression of the Bose-Einstein correlation functions for small sources due to the uncertainty principle are found. There is a positive correlation between the source size and the intercept of the correlation function. The peculiarities of the non-femtoscopic correlations caused by minijets and fluctuations of the initial states of the systems formed in $pp$ and $e^+e^-$ collisions are also analyzed. The factorization property for the contributions of femtoscopic and non-femtoscopic correlations into complete correlation function is observed in numerical calculations in a wide range of the model parameters.

Schönheit aus evolutionärer Sicht

description: Charles Darwin und Alfred Russel Wallace postulierten, dass sich die Merkmale aller Lebewesen durch Variabilität und „Natürliche Selektion“ herausbildeten. Damit können Evolutionsbiologen die meisten Anpassungen erklären. Ein Problem sind jedoch die farbenprächtigen Federkleider vieler Vogelmännchen und deren aufwändiges und auffälliges Balzverhalten. Denn dadurch werden sie auffällig für diverse Raubfeinde und diese Merkmale müssten auf den ersten Blick einen negativen Selektionswert besitzen. Darwin erkannte das Dilemma und nahm an, dass es neben der „Natürlichen Selektion“ auch eine sexuelle Selektion geben müsse. Danach wählen die Vogelweibchen jeweils die Männchen mit dem schönsten Federkleid, Gesang oder Balzverhalten. D. h. für Darwin war Schönheit ein Wert und Selektionsmerkmal für sich. Diese These wurde von Richard Prum 2017 wieder aufgegriffen. Die meisten Evolutionsbiologen bevorzugen dagegen eine Interpretation der evolutionären Anpassung: Danach sind Schönheitsmerkmale Luxus-Merkmale der Männchen, die den Weibchen als indirekte und ehrliche Fitness-Indikatoren dienen: Nur, wenn ein Männchen sich diesen kostspieligen Luxus leisten kann (Handicap-Prinzip) und dabei auch noch überlebt, dann sollte es gute Gene tragen und fit sein. Wenn ein Vogelweibchen daher ein besonders schönes und attraktives Männchen zum Partner wählt, hat es dadurch auch ein besonders fittes Männchen selektiert, so dass die gemeinsamen Nachkommen eine besonders gute Chance zum Überleben haben. Durch sexuelle Selektion bleiben daher die Handicap-Merkmale erhalten. Obwohl Schönheit sehr stark subjektiv beeinflusst ist, gibt es offenbar evolutionäre Grundlagen, nicht nur bei Vögeln, sondern vermutlich auch bei uns Menschen.

description: Beauty in nature is often – but not always – due to symmetries, structures, or simplicity.Beauty in nature is often – but not always – due to symmetries, structures, or simplicity. Like beauty, simplicity is very hard to grasp or to define in a scientific sense. Structures are much easier to precisely describe and investigate in research projects, such as excellence clusters. In this article, the concept of symmetry, its relation to structures, and the connection to the notion of beauty is explored. Following an introduction about symmetries and structures that we encounter in everyday life, and their impact on our sense of beauty, specific examples from the physical sciences are explored in more detail. The relation between symmetries and conservation laws, as well as their significance for the laws of nature that govern the four fundamental interactions are discussed.

Umso mehr, als gerade in der sogenannten Klassischen Antike das Cliché „Schön ist auch Gut/Hässlich ist auch Böse“ geboren wurde, welches noch bis in unsere heutige Gegenwart ausstrahlt, wie ein Ausblick beleuchten wird.

description: Mechanical strain mediated magnetoelectric effects are studied in bilayers and trilayers of piezoelectric quartz and magnetostrictive permendur (P), an alloy of Fe-Co-V. It is shown that the magneto-electric voltage coefficient (MEVC), proportional to the ratio of the piezoelectric coupling coefficient to the permittivity, is higher in quart-based composites than for traditional ferroelectrics based ME composites. In bilayers of X-cut single crystal quartz and permendur, the MEVC varies from 1.5 V/cm Oe at 20 Hz to ~ 185 V/cm Oe at bending resonance or electromechanical resonance corresponding to longitudinal acoustic modes. In symmetric quartz-P trilayers, the MEVC ~ 4.8 V/cm Oe at 20 Hz and ~ 175 V/cm Oe at longitudinal acoustic resonance. A model for low-frequency and resonance ME effects is provided for theoretical estimates of MEVC and calculated MEVC are in general agreement with measured values. Magneto-electric composites with quartz have the desired characteristics such as the absence of ferroelectric hysteresis and pyroelectric losses and could potentially replace ferroelectrics in composite-based magnetic sensors, transducers and high frequency devices.

description: If gravity were an emergent phenomenon, some relativistic as well as non-relativistic speculations claim it is, then a certain emergence time scale tau_? would characterize it. We argue that the available experimental evidences have poor time resolution regarding how immediate the creation of Newton field of accelerated mass sources is. Although the concrete theoretical model of gravity's `laziness' is missing, the concept and the scale tau_? ~ 1ms, rooted in an extrapolation of spontaneous wave function collapse theory, might be tested directly in reachable experiments.

title: Bakhtin and the Rhetoric of the Modern Western Novel
Creators: name: Massey, Douglas J.
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University
publisherIdentifier: https://ror.org/04zjtrb98
publisherIdentifierScheme: ROR
Year: 2002

description: This thesis uses examples of temporal and spatial intersections (chronotope) provided by noted rhetorician, Mikhail Bakhtin, applying them to a modem Western novel. Bakhtin identifies three primary types of historical chronotope: Ancient Greek Romance, Chivalric Romance, and Rabelasian. The Ancient Greek Romance has three basic types: the adventure novel of ordeal, the adventure novel of everyday life, and ancient biography and autobiography. Certain elements of these three basic types are distinct characteristics that are readily identifiable and, according to Mikhail Bakhtin, "have a direct and unmediated relationship to time,'* (86) which is the dominant principle in the chronotope.

The Chivalric Romance is another distinct type of chronotope I will explore with application to The Great Gatsby, the modem Western novel I have chosen for this exercise. The protagonist of the novel, Jay Gatsby, is an anachronism, better suited to another time, and that period is the era of the knights and chivalry and romance. The normalizing of miraculous events of the chivalric romance bears some striking similarities to the events of the Gatsby narrative.

I am also devoting a chapter of this study to determining if the masks of the Rabelasian type (the rogue, clown and fool) are found in a modem novel like The Great Gatsby. These masks are not identified so much by their appearance as by their functions. This is of extreme importance to this exercise because it is so helpful in determining the issue of authorial position in the novel.

Although the wild exaggerations of the Rabelasian novel are not likely to be found in the modern novel, what might be found are descriptions of specific objects or actions that cause them to be heightened and stand apart from the normal. Mikhail Bakhtin cites a construction of series in the writings of Rabelais surrounding the appearance and functions of the human body. These are the body itself, clothing, food, drunkenness, sex, and death. I will apply these series to The Great Gatsby and determine the extent of their functions.

description: The present study is motivated by the study of reference [1], where the generalized second law of thermodynamics has been investigated for a flat FRW universe for two viable models of $f(T)$ gravity. In the present work, we have considered a non-flat universe and accordingly studied the behaviors of equation of state parameter and deceleration parameter. Subsequently, using the first law of thermodynamics we derived the expressions for the time derivative of the total entropy of a universe enveloped by apparent horizon. In the next phase, with the choice of scale factor pertaining to an emergent universe we have investigated the sign of the time derivatives of total entropy for three viable models of $f(T)$ gravity.

Bridging the gap between theory and practice: locating music theory, its pedagogies and curricula for Irish traditional musicians
Creators: name: McLoughlin, Avril
Publisher: name: University of Limerick
Year: 2023
Subjects: classificationCode: 3603
subject: Music

description: Music theory, its associated curricula and pedagogical praxes are frequently situated, defined and contextualised in terms of western classical music. Derived from this highly literate and notation-based culture, this defining interpretation of music theory becomes problematic, especially in the context of Irish traditional music education. As a consequence of the prioritising of western classical music in music theory curricula, Irish traditional music, amongst others tends to be excluded. For this cohort, the omission of Irish traditional music from music theory curricula reinforces and perpetuates the notion that music theory is abstract, unrelated to and separate from their practice. Additionally, if and when Irish traditional music is analysed, this music is subject to the imposition of classical music values, which in itself is problematic. Consequently, students taking music theory class, particularly those coming from a different musical practice such as Irish traditional music, often develop a sense of antipathy towards the subject. It is this disjuncture that gives rise to this thesis’ central research questions. How do you reimagine music theory so that it is relevant to the practices of Irish traditional musicians? What pedagogical approaches support and facilitate students’ understanding of the conceptual structures of this reimagined music theory? Semi-structured ethnographic interviews were conducted with nine key Irish traditional musicians, whereupon interpretive thematic analysis revealed three themes. This data not only guided the redefinition of music theory within the context of Irish traditional music, but also informed practical pedagogical approaches trialled with undergraduate Irish traditional music students, in the form of action research. Guided by a theory-informed approach, pedagogies in Phase 1 considered teaching musical concepts through singing and playing keyboard, whereupon they were contextualised in Irish traditional tunes. Phase 2 explored a practice-informed perspective, in which guiding principles were generated in pedagogy from repertoire and music. These guiding principles may be understood and defined as a theory of music. This thesis proposes that through redefinition, music theory becomes nuanced and informed by practice. Consequently, music theory becomes an area of study that reflects the structures of Irish traditional music. This research advocates the employment of a practice-informed and participatory approach in the music theory classroom. Furthermore, this thesis supports the idea of an inclusive and diverse approach to knowledge. Understood in this way, music theory stems from, reflects and incorporates practice, thus bridging the gap between theory and practice.

description: Experimental realizations of a 1D interface always exhibit a finite microscopic width $ξ>0$; its influence is erased by thermal fluctuations at sufficiently high temperatures, but turns out to be a crucial ingredient for the description of the interface fluctuations below a characteristic temperature $T_c(ξ)$. Exploiting the exact mapping between the static 1D interface and a 1+1 Directed Polymer (DP) growing in a continuous space, we study analytically both the free-energy and geometrical fluctuations of a DP, at finite temperature $T$, with a short-range elasticity and submitted to a quenched random-bond Gaussian disorder of finite correlation length $ξ$. We derive the exact `time'-evolution equations of the disorder free-energy $\bar{F}(t,y)$, its derivative $η(t,y)$, and their respective two-point correlators $\bar{C}(t,y)$ and $\bar{R}(t,y)$. We compute the exact solution of its linearized evolution $\bar{R}^{lin}(t,y)$, and we combine its qualitative behavior and the asymptotic properties known for an uncorrelated disorder ($ξ=0$), to construct a `toymodel' leading to a simple description of the DP. This model is characterized by Brownian-like free-energy fluctuations, correlated at small $|y|

description: The paper focuses on two fundamental concepts of 20th century life sciences: Homeostasis and Umwelt. Both concepts describe the reciprocal relationship between organisms and their surroundings and are based on a holistic conception of the body. The paper examines on the one hand the linkage of past, present, and future knowledge of the body in both concepts starting from Aby Warburg’s time model of Nachleben. On the other hand, the historicity of knowledge is reflected by confronting Warburg’s Nachleben with Georges Canguilhem’s history of concepts. Finally, the historical analysis of the two concepts reveals the conditions of possibility for a linkage of the two concepts in the 1970s and thus contributes to the history of holistic body knowledge.

description: We use the generalized Julia-Toulouse approach (GJTA) for condensation of topological currents (charges or defects) to argue that massive photons can coexist consistently with Dirac monopoles. The Proca theory is obtained here via GJTA as a low energy effective theory describing an electric condensate and the mass of the vector boson is responsible for generating a Meissner effect which confines the magnetic defects in monopole-antimonopole pairs connected by physical open magnetic vortices described by Dirac brane invariants, instead of Dirac strings.

description: The dominant contribution to $H^- t\bar{b}$ production at the LHC is the gluon-gluon fusion parton subprocess. We perform for the case of the complex MSSM a complete calculation of the NLO electroweak contributions to this channel. The other small contributions with quarks or photon in the initial state are calculated at tree level. The results are improved by using the effective bottom-Higgs couplings to resum the leading radiative corrections. We find that, beyond these leading corrections, the NLO electroweak contributions can be still be significant. The effect of the complex phases of the soft-breaking parameters is found to be sizable.

description: Interference phenomena are the source of some of the spectacular colors of animals and plants in nature. In some of these systems, the physical structure consists of an ordered array of layers with alternating high and low refractive indices. This periodicity leads to an optical band structure that is analogous to the electronic band structure encountered in semiconductor physics; namely, specific bands of wavelengths (the stop bands) are perfectly reflected. Here, we present a minimal model for optical band structure in a periodic multilayer and solve it using recursion relations. We present experimental data for various beetles, whose optical structure resembles the proposed model. The stop bands emerge in the limit of an infinite number of layers by finding the fixed point of the recursive relations. In order for these to converge, an infinitesimal amount of absorption needs to be present, reminiscent of the regularization procedures commonly used in physics calculations. Thus, using only the phenomenon of interference and the idea of recursion, we are able to elucidate the concepts of band structure and regularization in the context of experimentally observed phenomena, such as the high reflectance and the iridescent color appearance of structurally colored beetles.

description: In this paper we study holomorphic immersions of open Riemann surfaces into C^n whose derivative lies in a conical algebraic subvariety A of C^n that is smooth away from the origin. Classical examples of such A-immersions include null curves in C^3 which are closely related to minimal surfaces in R^3, and null curves in SL_2(C) that are related to Bryant surfaces. We establish a basic structure theorem for the set of all A-immersions of a bordered Riemann surface, and we prove several approximation and desingularization theorems. Assuming that A is irreducible and is not contained in any hyperplane, we show that every A-immersion can be approximated by A-embeddings; this holds in particular for null curves in C^3. If in addition A-{0} is an Oka manifold, then A-immersions are shown to satisfy the Oka principle, including the Runge and the Mergelyan approximation theorems. Another version of the Oka principle holds when A admits a smooth Oka hyperplane section. This lets us prove in particular that every open Riemann surface is biholomorphic to a properly embedded null curve in C^3.

description: We study, theoretically and numerically, a minimal model for phonons in a disordered system. For sufficient disorder, the vibrational modes of this classical system can become Anderson localized, yet this problem has received significantly less attention than its electronic counterpart. We find rich behavior in the localization properties of the phonons as a function of the density, frequency and the spatial dimension. We use a percolation analysis to argue for a Debye spectrum at low frequencies for dimensions higher than one, and for a localization/delocalization transition (at a critical frequency) above two dimensions. We show that in contrast to the behavior in electronic systems, the transition exists for arbitrarily large disorder, albeit with an exponentially small critical frequency. The structure of the modes reflects a divergent percolation length that arises from the disorder in the springs without being explicitly present in the definition of our model. Within the percolation approach we calculate the speed-of-sound of the delocalized modes (phonons), which we corroborate with numerics. We find the critical frequency of the localization transition at a given density, and find good agreement of these predictions with numerical results using a recursive Green function method adapted for this problem. The connection of our results to recent experiments on amorphous solids are discussed.

description: C. Jensen, J. McCammond and J. Meier have used weighted hypertrees to compute the Euler characteristic of a subgroup of the automorphism group of a free product. Weighted hypertrees also appear in the study of the homology of the hypertree poset. We link them to decorated hypertrees after a general study on decorated hypertrees, which we enumerate using box trees.---C. Jensen, J. McCammond et J. Meier ont utilisé des hyperarbres pondérés pour calculer la caractéristique d'Euler d'un sous-groupe du groupe des automorphismes d'un produit libre. Un autre type d'hyperarbres pondérés apparaît aussi dans l'étude de l'homologie du poset des hyperarbres. Nous étudions les hyperarbres décorés puis les comptons à l'aide de la notion d'arbre en boîte avant de les relier aux hyperarbres pondérés.

description: Ab initio studies of structural, elastic and electronic properties of the tetragonal perovskite-type PbZr0.5Ti0.5O3 are presented using the pseudo-potential plane wave method within the density functional theory in generalized gradient approximation. The calculated equilibrium lattice parameters remain in a good agreement with the available experimental data. The bulk modulus obtained from the Birch-Murnaghan equation of state is calculated as B0=170 GPa, and the gap energy Eg=2.1 eV-3.5 eV. The some differences between calculated and nominal charges exist for all atoms. The biggest ones are on the Pb ions. They are caused by hybridization of the Pb 6s and O 2p states. The influence of the strain on the averaged over directions Young modulus in the 0.1%-0.3% range was studied.
