description: We stack maps of the thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect produced by the Planck Collaboration around the centers of cosmic voids defined by the distribution of galaxies in the CMASS sample of the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey, scaled by the void effective radii. We report a first detection of the associated cross-correlation at the $3.4σ$ level: voids are under-pressured relative to the cosmic mean. We compare the measured Compton-$y$ profile around voids with a model based solely on the spatial modulation of halo abundance with environmental density. The amplitude of the detected signal is marginally lower than predicted by an overall amplitude $α_v=0.67\pm0.2$. We discuss the possible interpretations of this measurement in terms of modelling uncertainties, excess pressure in low-mass halos, or non-local heating mechanisms.

description: We provide evidence that randomized low-rank factorization is a powerful tool for the determination of the ground state properties of low-dimensional lattice Hamiltonians through tensor network techniques. In particular, we show that randomized matrix factorization outperforms truncated singular value decomposition based on state-of-the-art deterministic routines in TEBD and DMRG-style simulations, even when the system under study gets close to a phase transition: We report linear speedups in the bond- or local dimension, of up to 24 times in quasi-2D cylindrical systems.

description: A five-dimensional cosmological model including a single perfect fluid is studied in the framework of dynamical system analysis. All the critical points of the system with their stability properties are listed and some representative phase diagrams are explicitly shown. It is found that the stabilization of the extra dimension is possible and the observed flatness of the three-dimensional space is provided for certain ranges of the equation of state parameter of the fluid during the evolution of the universe. The model suggested here can be considered as a simplified model for examining the possible effects of the extra dimensions in the early universe.

description: The performance of many parallel applications depends on loop-level parallelism. However, manually parallelizing all loops may result in degrading parallel performance, as some of them cannot scale desirably to a large number of threads. In addition, the overheads of manually tuning loop parameters might prevent an application from reaching its maximum parallel performance. We illustrate how machine learning techniques can be applied to address these challenges. In this research, we develop a framework that is able to automatically capture the static and dynamic information of a loop. Moreover, we advocate a novel method by introducing HPX smart executors for determining the execution policy, chunk size, and prefetching distance of an HPX loop to achieve higher possible performance by feeding static information captured during compilation and runtime-based dynamic information to our learning model. Our evaluated execution results show that using these smart executors can speed up the HPX execution process by around 12%-35% for the Matrix Multiplication, Stream and $2D$ Stencil benchmarks compared to setting their HPX loop's execution policy/parameters manually or using HPX auto-parallelization techniques.

description: We report phase resolved spectroscopy of the transient accreting pulsar, 4U0115+63. For the first time, more than two cylotron resonance scattering features are detected in the spectrum of an X-ray pulsar. The shape of the fundamental line appears to be complex, and this is in agreement with predictions of Monte-Carlo models. As in other pulsars, the line energies and optical depths are strong functions of pulse phase. One possible model for this is an offset of the dipole of the neutron star magnetic field.

Blob algebra approach to modular representation theory

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Representation Theory (math.RT)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: Two decades ago P. Martin and D. Woodcock made a surprising and prophetic link between statistical mechanics and representation theory. They observed that the decomposition numbers of the blob algebra (that appeared in the context of transfer matrix algebras) are Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials in type $\tilde{A}_1$. In this paper we take that observation far beyond its original scope. We conjecture that for $\tilde{A}_n$ there is an equivalence of categories between the characteristic $p$ diagrammatic Hecke category and a "blob category" that we introduce (using certain quotients of KLR algebras called \emph{generalized blob algebras}). Using alcove geometry we prove the "graded degree" part of this equivalence for all $n$ and all prime numbers $p$. If our conjecture was verified, it would imply that the graded decomposition numbers of the generalized blob algebras in characteristic $p$ give the $p$-Kazhdan Lusztig polynomials in type $\tilde{A}_n$. We prove this for $\tilde{A}_1$, the only case where the $p$-Kazhdan Lusztig polynomials are known.

description: DWBA analysis of the inelastic $^{30-40}$S$(p,p')$ and $^{18-22}$O$(p,p')$ scattering data measured in the inverse kinematics has been performed to determine the isoscalar ($δ_0$) and isovector ($δ_1$) deformation lengths of the 2$^+_1$ excitations in the Sulfur and Oxygen isotopes using a compact folding approach. A systematic $N$-dependence of $δ_0$ and $δ_1$ has been established which shows a link between $δ_1$ and the neutron-shell closure. Strong isovector deformations were found in several cases, e.g., the 2$^+_1$ state in $^{20}$O where $δ_1$ is nearly three times larger than $δ_0$. These results confirm the relation $δ_1>δ_0$ anticipated from the core polarization by the valence neutrons in the open-shell (neutron rich) nuclei. The effect of neutron shell closure at N=14 or 16 has been discussed based on the folding model analysis of the inelastic $^{22}$O+$p$ scattering data at 46.6 MeV/u measured recently at GANIL.

description: In this paper the linear stability properties of the steady states of a no-slip lubrication equation are studied. The steady states are configurations of droplets and arise during the late-phase dewetting process under the influence of both destabilizing van der Waals and stabilizing Born intermolecular forces, which in turn give rise to the minimum thickness $eps$ of the remaining film connecting the droplets. The goal of this paper is to give an asymptotic description of the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the problem, linearized about the one-droplet solutions, as $epsto 0$. For this purpose, corresponding asymptotic eigenvalue problems with piecewise constant coefficients are constructed, such that their eigenvalue asymptotics can be determined analytically. A comparison with numerically computed eigenvalues and eigenfunctions shows good agreement with the asymptotic results and the existence of a spectrum gap to a single exponentially small eigenvalue for sufficiently small $eps$.

description: We present results of a joint {\sl Chandra} and {\sl XMM-Newton} analysis of the Fornax Cluster, the nearest galaxy cluster in the southern sky. Signatures of merger-induced gas sloshing can be seen in the X-ray image. We identify four sloshing cold fronts in the intracluster medium, residing at radii of 3\,kpc (west), 10\,kpc (northeast), 30\,kpc (southwest) and 200\,kpc (east). Despite spanning over two orders of magnitude in radius, all four cold fronts fall onto the same spiral pattern that wraps around the BCG NGC~1399, likely all initiated by the infall of NGC~1404. The most evident front is to the northeast, 10\,kpc from the cluster center, which separates low-entropy high-metallicity gas and high-entropy low-metallicity gas. The metallicity map suggests that gas sloshing, rather than an AGN outburst, is the driving force behind the redistribution of the enriched gas in this cluster. The innermost cold front resides within the radius of the strong cool core. The sloshing time scale within the cooling radius, calculated from the Brunt-V$\ddot{\rm a}$s$\ddot{\rm a}$l$\ddot{\rm a}$ frequency, is an order of magnitude shorter than the cooling time. It is plausible that gas sloshing can contribute to the heating of the cool core, provided that gas of different entropies can be mixed effectively via Kelvin-Helmholtz instability. The estimated age of the outermost front suggests that this is not the first infall of NGC~1404.

description: The dynamics and morphology of a liquid polystyrene (PS) film on the scale of a hundred nanometer dewetting from a liquid polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) film is investigated experimentally and theoretically. The polymers considered here are both below their entanglement lengths and have negligible elastic properties. A theoretical model based on viscous Newtonian flow for both polymers is set up from which a system of coupled lubrication equations is derived and solved numerically. A direct comparison of the numerical solution with the experimental findings for the characteristic signatures of the cross-sections of liquid/air and liquid/liquid phase boundaries of the dewetting rims as well as the dewetting rates is performed and discussed for various viscosity ratios of the PS and PMMA layers.

subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: Abstract: "We review recent theories of non-classical, structured deformations and integral representations for their Helmholtz free energy. Energy minimizers for a body undergoing shearing at two different length scales and for a bar experiencing both smooth extension and macroscopic fractures then are determined, and applications to the shearing of single crystals and to the cohesive fracture of solids are discussed. Yield, hysteresis, and the associated dissipation in two-level shears are shown to arise from instabilities at the microlevel, and the dichotomy between brittle and ductile fracture is related precisely to a critical length of a bar."

description: We present a method for local estimation of the signal-dependent noise level in magnetic resonance images. The procedure uses a multi-scale approach to adaptively infer on local neighborhoods with similar data distribution. It exploits a maximum-likelihood estimator for the local noise level. The validity of the method was evaluated on repeated diffusion data of a phantom and simulated data using T1-data corrupted with artificial noise. Simulation results are compared with a recently proposed estimate. The method was applied to a high-resolution diffusion dataset to obtain improved diffusion model estimation results and to demonstrate its usefulness in methods for enhancing diffusion data.

description: We propose a method of determining masses in brane scenarios which is independent of coordinate transformations. We apply our method to the scenario of Randall and Sundrum (RS) with two branes, which provides a solution to the hierarchy problem. The core of our proposal is the use of covariant equations and expressing all coordinate quantities in terms of invariant distances. In the RS model we find that massive brane fields propagate proper distances inversely proportional to masses that are not exponentially suppressed. The hierarchy between the gravitational and weak interactions is nevertheless preserved on the visible brane due to suppression of gravitational interactions on that brane. The towers of Kaluza-Klein states for bulk fields are observed to have different spacings on different branes when all masses are measured in units of the fundamental scale. Ratios of masses on each brane are the same in our covariant and the standard interpretations. Since masses of brane fields are not exponentiated, the fundamental scale of higher-dimensional gravity must be of the order of the weak scale.

description: Electrolyte gating is widely used to induce large carrier density modulation on solid surfaces to explore various properties. Most of past works have attributed the charge modulation to electrostatic field effect. However, some recent reports have argued that the electrolyte gating effect in VO2, TiO2 and SrTiO3 originated from field-induced oxygen vacancy formation. This gives rise to a controversy about the gating mechanism, and it is therefore vital to reveal the relationship between the role of electrolyte gating and the intrinsic properties of materials. Here, we report entirely different mechanisms of electrolyte gating on two high-Tc cuprates, NdBa2Cu3O7-δ (NBCO) and Pr2-xCexCuO4 (PCCO), with different crystal structures. We show that field-induced oxygen vacancy formation in CuO chains of NBCO plays the dominant role while it is mainly an electrostatic field effect in the case of PCCO. The possible reason is that NBCO has mobile oxygen in CuO chains while PCCO does not. Our study helps clarify the controversy relating to the mechanism of electrolyte gating, leading to a better understanding of the role of oxygen electro migration which is very material specific.

description: This thesis provides the first rigorous history of the concept of midlife crisis. It highlights the close connections between understandings of the life course and social change. It reverses accounts of popularization by showing how an idea moved from the public sphere into academia. Above all, it uncovers the feminist origins of the concept and places this in a historically little-studied tradition of writing about middle age that rejected the gendered "double standard of aging." Constructions of middle age and life-planning were not always oppressive, but often used for feminist purposes. The idea of midlife crisis became popular in the United States with journalist Gail Sheehy's Passages (1976), a critique of Erik Erikson's male-centered model of ego development and psychoanalytic constructions of gender and identity more generally. Drawing on mid-century notions of middle life as the time of a woman's entry into the public sphere, Sheehy's midlife crisis defined the onset of middle age, for men and women, as the end of traditional gender roles. As dual-earner families replaced the male breadwinner model, Passages circulated widely, read by women and men of different generations, including social scientists. Three psychoanalytic experts-Daniel Levinson, George Vaillant, and Roger Gould-rebutted Sheehy by putting forward a male-only concept of midlife as the end of a man's family obligations; they banned women from reimagining their lives. Though this became the dominant meaning of midlife crisis, it was not universally accepted. Feminist scholars, most famously the psychologist and ethicist Carol Gilligan, drew on women's experiences to challenge the midlife crisis, turning it into a sign of emotional instability, immaturity, and egotism. Resonating with widespread understandings of mental health and social responsibility, and confirmed by large-scale surveys in the late 1990s, this relegated the midlife crisis to a chauvinist cliché. It has remained a contested concept for negotiating the balances between work and life, production and reproduction into the present day.

A modified Landau-Lifshitz equation is derived and exact magnetic soliton solutions are obtained analytically. Our results show that the time-oscillation of the soliton size can be controlled in practical experiment by adjusting of the light-induced dipole-dipole interaction. Moreover, the elastic collision of two solitons is investigated.

description: We present a model for rate-independent, unidirectional, partial damage in visco-elastic materials with inertia and thermal effects. The damage process is modeled by means of an internal variable, governed by a rate-independent flow rule. The heat equation and the momentum balance for the displacements are coupled in a highly nonlinear way. Our assumptions on the corresponding energy functional also comprise the case of the Ambrosio-Tortorelli phase-field model (without passage to the brittle limit). We discuss a suitable weak formulation and prove an existence theorem obtained with the aid of a (partially) decoupled time-discrete scheme and variational convergence methods. We also carry out the asymptotic analysis for vanishing viscosity and inertia and obtain a fully rate-independent limit model for displacements and damage, which is independent of temperature.

description: We present images and spectra of the Cepheus E (Cep E) region at both optical and infrared wavelengths. Only the brightest region of the southern lobe of the Cep E outflow reveals optical emission, suggesting that the extinction close to the outflow source plays an important rôle in the observed difference between the optical and IR morphologies. Cep E is a unique object since it provides a link between the spectroscopic properties of the optical Herbig-Haro (HH) objects and those of deeply embedded outflows.

description: Large-scale integration of distributed energy resources into residential distribution feeders necessitates careful control of their operation through power flow analysis. While the knowledge of the distribution system model is crucial for this type of analysis, it is often unavailable or outdated. The recent introduction of synchrophasor technology in low-voltage distribution grids has created an unprecedented opportunity to learn this model from high-precision, time-synchronized measurements of voltage and current phasors at various locations. This paper focuses on joint estimation of model parameters (admittance values) and operational structure of a poly-phase distribution network from the available telemetry data via the lasso, a method for regression shrinkage and selection. We propose tractable convex programs capable of tackling the low rank structure of the distribution system and develop an online algorithm for early detection and localization of critical events that induce a change in the admittance matrix. The efficacy of these techniques is corroborated through power flow studies on four three-phase radial distribution systems serving real household demands.

description: In this paper we study a distributed control problem for a phase-field system of Caginalp type with logarithmic potential. The main aim of this work would be to force the location of the diffuse interface to be as close as possible to a prescribed set. However, due to the discontinuous character of the cost functional, we have to approximate it by a regular one and, in this case, we solve the associated control problem and derive the related first order necessary optimality conditions.
The geometry of the M5-branes and TQFTs

description: The calculation of the partition function for N M5-branes is addressed for the case in which the worldvolume wraps a manifold $T^2\times M_4$, where $M_4$ is simply connected and Kaehler. This is done in a compactification of M-theory which induces the Vafa-Witten theory on $M_4$ in the limit of vanishing torus volume. The results follow from the equivalence of the BPS spectrum counting in the complementary limit of vanishing $M_4$ volumes and from a classification of the the moduli space of quantum vacua of the supersymmetric twisted theory in terms of associated spectral covers. This reduces the problem of the moduli counting to algebraic equations.

Year: 2023

description: The document reports on the implementation of the data analytics and interoperability of EN-TRACK. It provides an overview of the implemented functionalities, putting emphasis on the specific assumptions in the processing and calculation of the results, aiming to facilitate their understanding and interpretation by the users. References to the source code and detailed technical documentation published in open online repositories are provided.

The data processing implementation comprises of a set of software components integrated into an R software library (https://github.com/BeeGroup-cimne/rentrack) that are reusable and combinable for performing variety of tasks including among others data collection, data harmonisation, pre-processing and calculation of KPIs. A full list of the functions in the library is provided in Annex 1. These common utility components are combined into two data processing pipelines written in Python that produce the results presented in the EN-TRACK web application (https://github.com/BeeGroup-cimne/entrack_services).

The first pipeline produces the benchmarking of buildings, and the second one provides the assessment and benchmarking of EEMs. The descriptions of both pipelines include details of the data-driven models and the particularities in their application for benchmarking and assessment of EEMs, including the specific assumptions.

In the context of interoperability, the acquisition of data from the eQuad and DEEP platforms, and the exposure of EN-TRACK data to external systems, is addressed through comments and referencing of the implemented Application Programming Interfaces.

All the software documentation will be maintained and updated in the respective repositories to keep track of any new functionality implemented in EN-TRACK. It is important to note that the open software library rentrack developed in the project promotes the reusability of its components in other data-driven initiatives. The continuous gathering of data by the project platform will enable wider evaluation of the existing tools and their further upgrading in the future.
Correlated EoM and Distributions for A=6 Nuclei

description: Energy spectra and electromagnetic transitions of nuclei are strongly depending from the correlations of the bound nucleons. Two particle correlations are responsible for the scattering of model particles either to low momentum- or to high momentum-states. The low momentum states form the model space while the high momentum states are used to calculate the G-matrix. The three and higher order particle correlations do not play a role in the latter calculation especially if the correlations induced by the scattering operator are of sufficient short range. They modify however, via the long tail of the nuclear potential, the Slater determinant of the A particles by generating excited Slater's determinants. In this work the influence of the correlations on the level structure and ground state distributions of even open shell nuclei is analyzed via the boson dynamic correlation model BDCM. The model is based on the unitary operator $e^S$ ({\it S} is the correlation operator) formalism which in this paper is presented within a non perturbative approximation. The low lying spectrum calculated for $^6$Li reproduce very well the experimental spectrum while for $^6$He a charge radius slightly larger than that obtained within the isotopic-shift (IS) theory has been calculated. Good agreement between theoretical and experimental results has been obtained without the introduction of a genuine three body force.

description: Abstract: "Numerical approximations of strongly degenerate variational problems of the form J(u) = F ΓéÇ┬╣ F(u)╠ü + u-f)┬▓ are considered, where F is assumed convex but may have intervals where F" = 0. It is shown that, in spite of the degeneracy, natural numerical approximations still converge in W[superscript 1,p]. Rates in weaker norms and the connection with non-convex variational problems are also considered."

description: We investigate dynamics of exact N-soliton trains in spin chain driven by a time-dependent magnetic field by means of an inverse scattering transformation. The one-soliton solution indicates obviously the spin precession around the magnetic field and periodic shape-variation induced by the time varying field as well. In terms of the general soliton solutions N-soliton interaction and particularly various two-soliton collisions are analyzed. The inelastic collision by which we mean the soliton shape change before and after collision appears generally due to the time varying field. We, moreover, show that complete inelastic collisions can be achieved by adjusting spectrum and field parameters. This may lead a potential technique of shape control of soliton.

description: We are concerned with statistical inference for 2 x 2 x K contingency tables in the context of genetic case-control association studies. Multivariate methods based on asymptotic Gaussianity of vectors of test statistics require information about the asymptotic correlation structure among these test statistics under the global null hypothesis. We show that for a wide variety of test statistics this asymptotic correlation structure is given by the linkage disequilibrium matrix of the K loci under investigation. Three popular choices of test statistics are discussed for illustration.
On The Cosmic Origins Of Carbon And Nitrogen

description: We analyze the behavior of N/O and C/O abundance ratios as a function of metallicity as gauged by O/H in large, extant Galactic and extragalactic H II region abundance samples. Numerical chemical evolution models are computed using published stellar yields implied by comparing analytical models to the observations. Our results suggest that carbon and nitrogen originate from separate production sites and are decoupled from one another. Massive stars (M>8M_sun) dominate the production of carbon, while intermediate-mass stars between 4 and 8 solar masses, with a characteristic ejection delay time of 250 Myr after their formation, dominate nitrogen production. Carbon production is positively sensitive to metallicity through mass loss processes in massive stars and has a pseudo-secondary character. Nitrogen production in intermediate mass stars is primary at low metallicity, but clearly secondary (and perhaps tertiary) when 12+log(O/H)>8.3. The observed flat behavior of N/O versus O/H in metal-poor galaxies is explained by invoking low star formation rates which flatten the age-metallicity relation and thereby allow N/O to rise to observed levels at low metallicities. The observed scatter and distribution of data points for N/O challenge the popular idea that intermittent polluting by oxygen from massive stars is occurring following star bursts. The effect of inflow of gas into galactic systems on secondary production of nitrogen from carbon may introduce some scatter into N/O ratios at high metallicities.
