description: A large part of the mSUGRA parameter space satisfying the WMAP constraint on the dark matter relic density corresponds to a higgsino LSP of mass $\simeq 1$ TeV. We find a promising signal for this LSP at CLIC, particularly with polarized electron and positron beams. One also expects a viable monochromatic $γ$-ray signal from its pair annihilation at the galactic center at least for cuspy DM halo profiles. All these results hold equally for the higgsino LSP of other SUSY models like the non-universal scalar or gaugino mass models and the so-called inverted hierarchy and more minimal supersymmetry models.

description: In 2011, Haemers asked the following question: If $S$ is the Seidel matrix of a graph of order $n$ and $S$ is singular, does there exist an eigenvector of $S$ corresponding to $0$ which has only $\pm 1$ elements? In this paper, we construct infinite families of graphs which give a negative answer to this question. One of our constructions implies that for every natural number $N$, there exists a graph whose Seidel matrix $S$ is singular such that for any integer vector in the nullspace of $S$, the absolute value of any entry in this vector is more than $N$. We also derive some characteristics of vectors in the nullspace of Seidel matrices, which lead to some necessary conditions for the singularity of Seidel matrices. Finally, we obtain some properties of the graphs which affirm the above question.

description: The purpose of this literature review is to find out the link Islamic principles based on the Qur’an, and hadith that in line with the green microfinance activities. The scope of this literature review is divided into four main sections: (1) Is Islamic perspective on economic activities has concern with the environmental issues?, ,(2) Why microfinance has an important role to implementing green microfinance activities?,  (3) What's the link between Islamic principles and green microfinance activities, (4) Who has responsibilities on the implementation of green microfinance activities?. Based on Islamic perspective, the people can run their business as long as they didn’t destroy environmental. The conservation of environmental very important to support the sustainability of human life, it's reflected in The Qur’an and Hadith as the supreme sources of Islamic law. Furthermore, Islamic finance has a strong engagement with the microfinance activities, because the main clients of microfinance are low income people, and the one of microfinance objectives is related to poverty alleviation. Furthermore, the majority clients of microfinance are poor people that also as the contributor of environmental destruction. Related to this condition, appropriate law enforcement from the government who has the legitimacy to force microfinance for implementing environmental conservation activities.

description: We construct new 1/2 supersymmetric solutions in D=3, N=2, matter coupled, U(1) gauged supergravities and study some of their properties. We do this by employing a quite general supersymmetry breaking condition, from which we also redrive some of the already known solutions. Among the new solutions, we have an explicit non-topological soliton for the non-compact sigma model, a locally flat solution for the compact sigma model and a string-like solution for both types of sigma models. The last one is smooth for the compact scalar manifold.

description: In this paper, we propose a model for the initial stage of the development of the Universe, analogous to cavitation in a liquid in a negative pressure field. It is assumed that at the stage of inflation, multiple breaks of the metric occur with the formation of areas of physical vacuum in which the generation of matter occurs. The proposed model explains the large-scale isotropy of the Universe without ultrafast inflationary expansion and the emergence of a large-scale cellular (cluster) structure, as a result of the development of cavitation ruptures of a false vacuum. It is shown that the cavitation model can be considered on par with (or as an alternative to) the generally accepted inflationary multiverse model of the Big Bang.

description: A method to design gratings in integrated photonics, is presented. The method is based on a transfer matrix formalism enhanced by Finite Element Method (FEM) parameter calculations. The main advantages of the proposed technique are the easy of use, the fast optimization time and the versatility of the approach. Few examples of optimized gratings to obtain various scattered light field profiles for different applications are presented: a double-Gaussian profile, a flat top square profile, a spot profile on a chip surface, profiles suited to get efficient and selective coupling to single mode and multimode fibers. A discussion of the limits of the method and some insights on how to improve it are also discussed.

description: We propose to use rich informations on the pp, pbar p total cross sections sigma below N=10 GeV in order to predict the total cross section and rho ratio at very high energies. Using the FESR as a constraint for high energy parameters, we search for the simultaneous best fit to the data points of sigma and rho ratio up to some energy (e.g., ISR, Tevatron) to determine the high-energy parameters. We then predict sigma and rho in the LHC and high-energy cosmic-ray regions. Using the data up to sqrt s =1.8 TeV(Tevatron), we predict sigma(pp) and rho(pp) at the LHC energy(sqrt s = 14 TeV) as 106.3 +- 5.1(syst) +- 2.4(stat) mb and 0.126 +- 0.007(syst) +- 0.004(stat), respectively. The predicted values of sigma in terms of the same parameters are in good agreement with the cosmic-ray experimental data sample up to Plab = 10^(8--9) GeV by Block, Halzen, and Stanov.

description: In this note we present studies of coverage and power for confidence intervals for a Poisson process with known background calculated using the Likelihood ratio (aka Feldman & Cousins) ordering with Bayesian treatment of uncertainties in nuisance parameters. We consider both the variant where the Bayesian integration is done in both the numerator and the denominator and the modification where the integration is done only in the numerator whereas in the denominator the likelihood is taken at the maximum likelihood estimate of the parameters. Furthermore we discuss how measurements can be combined in this framework and give an illustration with limits on the branching ratio of a rare B-meson decay recently presented by CDF/D0. A set of C++ classes has been developed which can be used to calculate confidence intervals for single or combining multiple experiments using the above algorithms and considering a variety of parameterizations to describe the uncertainties.

Partial complements in finite soluble groups

Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: QA177.C54 2012
subject: Finite groups
subject: Solvable groups

description: Let G be a finite group with normal subgroup N. Let K be a subgroup of G. We say that K is a partial complement of N in G if N and K intersect trivially. There are two main results in this work. The first main result arises from analysing when each partial complement of N in G is contained in a complement of N in G when G is a finite soluble group, N is the product of minimal normal subgroups, N is complemented and all the complements of N in G are conjugate. We show that each partial complement of N in G is contained in a complement of N in G if and only if N is projective. The next natural question is: if N is non-projective, which partial complements are contained in a complement of N in G? We say that a cyclic p-partial complement is a partial complement that is cyclic and its order is a power of p. We establish exactly which cyclic p-partial complements are contained in a conjugate of H. So the next question is: if the partial complement is a non-cyclic p-partial complement, how do we know that is contained in a conjugate of H? This is a difficult question and because of restriction on representation theory, we have needed to restrict H to be in the class of groups that are nilpotent p'-groups by p-groups. To answer this question, we use the first cohomology group. The first cohomology group is the number of conjugacy classes of complements to N in G. That is, if we have a partial complement K such that the first cohomology group vanishes then we know there is only one conjugacy class of complements of N in NK and therefore K is in a conjugate of H. The second main result finds exactly when the first cohomology group vanishes. This is a sufficient condition for a partial complement to be contained in a complement of N in G. -- provided by Candidate.
A constitutive model for sand and the analysis of the canlex embankments
Creators: name: Puebla, Humberto
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: A numerical analysis procedure including a constitutive model for predicting static liquefaction occurrence and liquefaction-induced displacements is presented in this dissertation. The main features of sand characteristic behaviour, as observed from laboratory element tests, are first identified to establish the most important issues regarding static liquefaction analysis. Based on physics fundamentals and elastic-plastic theory, a relatively simple constitutive model capable of capturing sand characteristic behaviour is then proposed. The model has two independent plastic components, a shear mechanism and a volumetric mechanism. The plastic shear mechanism is governed by a hyperbolic relationship between the stress ratio and plastic shear strain, and a flow rule for estimating shear-induced plastic volumetric strain from plastic shear strain. In addition, it has the ability to handle some of the effects induced by inherent anisotropy and rotation of principal stresses. The plastic volumetric mechanism responds to a power law that relates the cap pressure to the plastic volumetric strain induced by compressive loading. The proposed constitutive model is incorporated into a commercially available computer program (FLAC). The code uses a finite differences method that satisfies dynamic equilibrium using a step-by-step time domain procedure and a groundwater flow technique, allowing coupled stress-flow analyses to be performed. The proposed model is calibrated using data from conventional laboratory tests. The model is shown to capture reasonably well the drained and undrained characteristic response of Syncrude sand as observed from element tests, over a range of confining stresses and relative densities. The calibrated model is subsequently used for modelling the Canadian Liquefaction Experiment (CANLEX) embankments that included a field event in which a test embankment was built over a loose sand foundation layer, and a centrifuge test performed on a sand model of the prototype structure. Both earth-structures were planned to induce a static liquefaction failure and their responses characterized by the observed displacements and pore pressures. The proposed constitutive model and numerical procedure used to simulate the CANLEX embankments are shown adequate for performing analysis of sand liquefaction, triggered by rapid monotonic (static) loading. The results from modelling both embankments are in reasonable agreement with the measured responses.

description: We present the results of phase-referenced VLBA+Effelsberg observations at five frequencies of the double-image gravitational lens JVAS B0218+357, made to establish the precise registration of the A and B lensed image positions. The motivation behind these observations is to investigate the anomalous variation of the image flux density ratio (A/B) with frequency - this ratio changes by almost a factor of two over a frequency range from 1.65 GHz to 15.35 GHz. We investigate whether frequency dependent image positions, combined with a magnification gradient across the image field, could give rise to the anomaly. Our observations confirm the variation of image flux ratio with frequency. The results from our phase-reference astrometry, taken together with the lens mass model of Wucknitz et al. (2004), show that shifts of the image peaks and centroids are too small to account for the observed frequency-dependent ratio.

description: Medium and high resolution spectroscopy of U Equulei from 1 to 4 microns during 1997-2003 has revealed information about its unusual circumstellar envelope, observed previously at optical and radio wavelengths. Strong absorption bands of H2O and of CO dominate the 1-4um spectrum. The gas has a mean temperature of 600 K and 12C/13C =< 10. The CO 2-0 line profiles and velocities imply no net ejection or infall and indicate either rapid radial gas motions being seen along a narrow continuum beam, or absorption by orbiting gas that is nearly coincident with a highly extended continuum source. The gas could be located in a disk-like structure. The observed high column densities of warm CO and H2 normally would be associated with sufficient dust to completely obscure the star at optical wavelengths. The observations thus indicate either a highly abnormal gas-to-dust ratio, consistent with the earlier optical observation of abundant refractory metal oxides in the circumstellar gas, or peculiar geometry and/or illumination.

description: A Molecular Dynamics approach has been used to compute the shear force resulting from the shearing of disks. Two-dimensional monodisperse disks have been put in an horizontal and rectangular shearing cell with periodic boundary conditions on right and left hand sides. The shear is applied by pulling the cover of the cell either at a constant rate or by pulling a spring, linked to the cover, with a constant force. Depending on the rate of shearing and on the elasticity of the whole set up, we showed that the measured shear force signal is either irregular in time, regular in time but not in shape, or regular in shape.

Controlling the direction of topological transport in a non-Hermitian time-reversal symmetric Floquet ladder

description: We propose a one-dimensional Floquet ladder that possesses two distinct topological transport channels with opposite directionality. The transport channels occur due to a $\mathbb Z_2$ non-Hermitian Floquet topological phase that is protected by time-reversal symmetry. The signatures of this phase are two pairs of Kramers degenerate Floquet quasienergy bands that are separated by an imaginary gap. We discuss how the Floquet ladder can be implemented in a photonic waveguide lattice and show that the direction of transport in the resulting waveguide structure can be externally controlled by focusing two light beams into adjacent waveguides. The relative phase between the two light beams selects which of the two transport channels is predominantly populated, while the angles of incidence of the two light beams determine which of the transport channels is suppressed by non-Hermitian losses. We identify the optimal lattice parameters for the external control of transport and demonstrate the robustness of this mechanism against disorder.

description: Issues of inequalities persist in the field of Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) despite acknowledgment and discussions of outdated, prejudicial practices. The goal of this dissertation is to show that acknowledging discrimination in TEFL is not enough to rectify the problems Non-Native English-Speaking Teachers (NNESTs) face. In the form of an autoethnographic study of the career of an English teacher of Chinese background spanning almost two decades and two continents, this dissertation aimed to show the intersectional nature of the discriminations NNESTs face within the professional setting. More importantly, this dissertation aimed to highlight those said discriminations are reflections of greater societal attitudes by showing how the discrimination the author experienced in TEFL intersects with the discrimination he encounters in everyday life in Germany. In order to create a more just professional environment in TEFL, research that builds on the lived experiences of NNESTs is absolutely essential. The experiences lived by the author and subsequently shared and analyzed in this dissertation should: serve as a bridge that fills the gap between the professional and personal spheres of ‘International English Teachers’, increase awareness of the problems NNESTs face, and encourage NNESTs to speak out against unjust treatments by sharing their own lived experiences in both their professional and adopted private environments.

description: The State of Israel was established amid historic trauma experienced by both Jewish and Palestinian Arab people. These traumas included the repeated invasion of Palestine by various empires/countries, and the Jewish experience of anti-Semitism and the Holocaust. This culminated in the 1948 creation of the State of Israel. The newfound State has experienced turmoil since its inception as both identities clashed. The majority-minority power imbalance resulted in inequalities and discrimination against the Palestinian Citizens of Israel (PCI). Discussion of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict tends to assume that the issues of the PCIs are the same as the issues of the Palestinians in the Occupied Territories. I believe that the needs of the PCIs are different. Therefore, I have conducted a qualitative case study into possible ways the relationship between the PCIs and the State of Israel shall be improved. To this end, I provide a brief review of the history of the conflict. I explore themes of inequalities and models for change. I analyze the implications of the theories for PCIs and Israelis in the political, social, and economic dimensions. From all these dimensions, I identify opportunities for change. In proposing an “Agenda for Change,” it is my sincere hope that addressing the context of the Israeli-Palestinian relationship may lead to a change in attitude and behaviour that will avoid perpetuating the conflict and its human costs on both sides.

description: We numerically solve the Hubbard model on the Bethe lattice with finite coordination number $z=3$, and determine its zero-temperature phase diagram. For this purpose, we introduce and develop the `variational uniform tree state' (VUTS) algorithm, a tensor network algorithm which generalizes the variational uniform matrix product state algorithm to tree tensor networks. Our results reveal an antiferromagnetic insulating phase and a paramagnetic metallic phase, separated by a first-order doping-driven metal-insulator transition. We show that the metallic state is a Fermi liquid with coherent quasiparticle excitations for all values of the interaction strength $U$, and we obtain the finite quasiparticle weight $Z$ from the single-particle occupation function of a generalized "momentum" variable. We find that $Z$ decreases with increasing $U$, ultimately saturating to a non-zero, doping-dependent value. Our work demonstrates that tensor-network calculations on tree lattices, and the VUTS algorithm in particular, are a platform for obtaining controlled results for phenomena absent in one dimension, such as Fermi liquids, while avoiding computational difficulties associated with tensor networks in two dimensions. We envision that future studies could observe non-Fermi liquids, interaction-driven metal-insulator transitions, and doped spin liquids using this platform.

Religion and politics in the writings of Xu Xuan (917-92)

Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: PL2687.H595 Z95 2010
subject: Xu, Xuan, 916-991 Criticism and interpretation

description: This study takes advantage of the window provided by Xu Xuan's works to consider representations of religion by a member of the elite in the tenth century. It attempts to return Xu's works to the context in which they were written to reveal how the attitudes Xu Xuan expressed about religion and religious practice were tied to a specific understanding of politics, geography and history. Xu Xuan presents a particularly valuable subject for study due to the volume of his surviving works, which include temple inscriptions and Jishen lu, a collection of accounts of otherworldly events, both representing genres that are proving useful in the modem study of Chinese religion. Furthermore, he lived through a period of dramatic political reordering in China, serving under both the Southern Tang, a state outside traditional historical orthodoxy, and the Song, a recognized dynasty that was to see profound changes in Chinese culture and society. Two genres and two states provide ground for examining how Xu chose to represent different aspects of religion in varying circumstances. Xu's works reveal how regional character in the tenth century was variously defined and exploited in relation to religious numinosity for the purposes of state legitimacy and individual identity. Xu's depiction of the contemporary world of spirits in Jishen lu within the territory of the Southern Tang is sympathetic to the interests of this geographically limited state. Furthermore, in representations of the past under the Southern Tang, he drew on both the precedent of Tang rule and the southern dynasties, with emphasis depending on the context of the composition, whereas under the Song he was forced to present a revised position closer to Song interests. To enhance the significance of individual temples, he drew on regional religious identity. Following increasing recognition within regional politics for local gods as the tenth century progressed, Xu forcefully justified state patronage of martial gods that empowered the Southern Tang, but reduced his focus to local character and personal experience under the Song. Within these various representations that drew on existing tradition, Xu was aware that his contributions to the religious record could influence a cult's trajectory of development.

description: A recombination radiation line of electron-hole plasma, observed in electroluminescence spectra of tunneling silicon MOS diodes, has been investigated at the temperature > 300 K. The internal quantum efficiency of the luminescence, equal to 0.003, appears to be unexpectedly high. The spectral position of the luminescence line indicates, that a weak overheating of the diode by the diode current results in an anomalously strong reduction of the semiconductor energy gap inside the electron-hole plasma. A unique threshold optical hysteresis is observed in the luminescence intensity with changing diode current. These results are explained by condensation of injected electron-hole plasma into a dense state. A reduction of the semiconductor energy gap due to generation of phonons by the plasma is discussed as a reason of the plasma condensation. The plasma condensation is identified as the plasma self-compression.

description: Organic matter represents more than one third of the waste produced worldwide and is a major contributor to the acute shortage of acceptable land fill sites. Composting significantly reduces the volume of organic waste and is an environmentally sound way of recycling this waste into valuable soil conditioner. The traditional process of composting heaped material is cheap and simple but slow (taking up to 140 days). In addition, the problems associated with odor and vermin make this process less attractive, especially in areas of high density living. Heap systems can be managed to a limited extent by regular mixing and moisture addition but it is difficult to manipulate the microbial communities successfully. Continuous in-vessel composting systems are increasingly being used for on-site composting of organic matter due to their ease of use and manageability. Hot Rot continuous in-vessel composting system acquired and set up by ANU Green at the ANU campus in Canberra is one such system. The aim of this study was to characterize the microbial communities present in the system and the physical and chemical makeup of the material being composted. This was accomplished by using 16S rDNA-PCR followed by DGGE, 454 pyro- sequencing and standard chemical analyses such as the carbon and nitrogen content, pH, electrical conductivity and temperature. Experimental manipulations of the system, such as varying the residence time of the material in the vessel and seeding the input with the finished product were trialed. The results of these experiments showed that the material exiting the composting system rarely met the Australian standards for compost and that additional maturation of the material was required. High throughput sequencing using the 454 platform provided considerable insight into the bacterial diversity present in the system and into the changes in the bacterial communities during the composting process under the experimental conditions. Importantly, the results also showed that the elimination of pathogens occurred regardless of the operating temperature and that elevated temperatures likely slowed the composting process. Consideration should be given to revising the relevant Australian standards so that they reflect the different composting regimes used in Australia.

Cell dynamics approach to the formation of metastable phases during phase transformation

description: In this paper, we use the cell dynamics method to study the dynamics of phase transformation when three phases exist. The system we study is a two-dimensional system. The system is able to achieve three phases coexistence, which for simplicity we call crystal, liquid and vapor phases. We focus our study on the case when the vapor and crystal phases are stable and can coexist while the other intermediate liquid phase is metastable. In this study we examine the most fundamental process of the growth of a composite nucleus which consists of a circular core of one phase surrounded by a circular layer of second phase embedded in a third phase. We found that there is one special configuration that consists of a core stable phase surrounded by another stable phase in a metastable liquid environment which becomes stationary and stable. Then, the nucleus does not grow and the metastable liquid survives. The macroscopic liquid phase does not disappear even though it is thermodynamically metastable. This result seems compatible to the argument of kinetics of phase transition developed by Cahn [J. Am. Ceram. Soc. {\bf 52}, 118 (1969)] based on the construction of a common tangent of the free energy curve.

Heavy metal sorption and hydraulic conductivity studies using three types of bentonite admixes
Creators: name: Li, Franky
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This study investigated the sorption and migration behaviour of heavy metals permeating through clay barriers, the effect of heavy metals on clay barrier hydraulic conductivity, and the use of Forest soil and Spruce bark as potential clay barrier materials. Bentonite, Forest soil, and Spruce bark were submitted to Batch adsorption testing to determine sorption capacities and investigate competition effects associated with multi-heavy-metal sorption. The heavy metal solutions consisted of single, binary, and ternary combinations of lead (Pb), copper (Cu), and (Cd) ranging from 0 - 1000 mg I A According to sorption capacities, the heavy metals ranked as follows: Forest soil > bentonite = Spruce bark. A n equation based on the Freundlich equation was developed for describing multi-heavy-metal sorption, and expressed the following ranking in terms of sorption competitiveness: Pb> Cu> Cd. A bentonite admix (100:8 ratio of sand:bentonite), Forest soil admix (100:7:1 ratio of sand:bentonite:Forest soil), and Spruce bark admix (100:7:1 ratio of sand:bentonite:Spruce bark) were submitted to Leaching cell testing to investigate the heavy metal compatibility of clay barriers. The admixes were compacted into rigidwalled cells and permeated with 500 mg L⁻¹ solutions of Pb, Cu, and Cd. The hydraulic conductivities of heavy metal leachates were ≈ 2 orders of magnitude greater than the blank (0.01 M calcium nitrate) leachate. The Forest soil admix ranked the best in terms of heavy metal retention capacity, and breakthrough points. After each Leaching cell test, the admix samples were extruded and submitted to Selective Sequential Extractions (SSEs). The SSE determined the distribution of heavy metals amongst five soil components: cation exchangeable, carbonates, Fe and Mn oxides and hydroxides, organic matter, and the residual. The addition of Forest soil, and Spruce bark in clay barrier mixes promoted stronger heavy metal fixation. In addition, the SSE results showed a linear relation between the sorption characteristics and sorption concentrations of the admixes. The Leaching cell and SSE results showed that heavy metals followed unpredictable pathways, and caused significant short-circuiting. In terms of relative mobility, Cd was ≈1.5 times more mobile than Cu, and ≈ 4 times more mobile than Pb, respectively.

description: Recent developments of high-reputation-rate X-ray free electron lasers (XFELs) such as European XFEL and LSCS-II, combined with coincidence measurements at the COLTRIMS-Reaction Microscope, is now opening a door to realize a long-standing dream to create molecular movies of photo-induced chemical reactions of gas-phase molecules. In this paper, we theoretically propose a new method to experimentally visualize dissociation of diatomic molecules via time-resolved polarization-averaged molecular-frame photoelectron angular distributions (PA-MFPADs) measurements using the COLTRIMs--Reaction Microscope and two-color XFEL pump-probe set-up. The first and second order scattering theories with the Muffin-tin approximation give us simple EXAFS type formula for the forward and backward scattering peaks in the PA-MFPADs structure. This formula acts as an experimentally applicable "bond length ruler" by adjusting only three semi-empirical parameters from the time-resolved measurements. The accuracy and applicability of a new ruler equation are numerically examined against the PA-MFPADs of CO2+ calculated by Full-potential multiple scattering theory as a function of the C-O bond length reported in the preceding work. The bond lengths retrieved from the PA-MFPADs via the EXAFS formula well reproduce the original C-O bond lengths used in the reference ab-initio PA-MFPADs with accuracy of 0.1 Å. We expect that time-resolved PA-MFPADs will be a new attractive tool to make molecular movies visualizing intramolecular reactions.

description: The cluster variation method (CVM) is a hierarchy of approximate variational techniques for discrete (Ising--like) models in equilibrium statistical mechanics, improving on the mean--field approximation and the Bethe--Peierls approximation, which can be regarded as the lowest level of the CVM. In recent years it has been applied both in statistical physics and to inference and optimization problems formulated in terms of probabilistic graphical models. The foundations of the CVM are briefly reviewed, and the relations with similar techniques are discussed. The main properties of the method are considered, with emphasis on its exactness for particular models and on its asymptotic properties. The problem of the minimization of the variational free energy, which arises in the CVM, is also addressed, and recent results about both provably convergent and message-passing algorithms are discussed.

description: We present a Bayesian hierarchical modelling approach to infer the cosmic matter density field, and the lensing and the matter power spectra, from cosmic shear data. This method uses a physical model of cosmic structure formation to infer physically plausible cosmic structures, which accounts for the non-Gaussian features of the gravitationally evolved matter distribution and light-cone effects. We test and validate our framework with realistic simulated shear data, demonstrating that the method recovers the unbiased matter distribution and the correct lensing and matter power spectrum. While the cosmology is fixed in this test, and the method employs a prior power spectrum, we demonstrate that the lensing results are sensitive to the true power spectrum when this differs from the prior. In this case, the density field samples are generated with a power spectrum that deviates from the prior, and the method recovers the true lensing power spectrum. The method also recovers the matter power spectrum across the sky, but as currently implemented, it cannot determine the radial power since isotropy is not imposed. In summary, our method provides physically plausible inference of the dark matter distribution from cosmic shear data, allowing us to extract information beyond the two-point statistics and exploiting the full information content of the cosmological fields.

description: We investigate theories in which the technifermions in higher dimensional representations of the technicolor gauge group dynamically break the electroweak symmetry of the standard model. For the two-index symmetric representation of the gauge group the lowest number of techniflavors needed to render the underlying gauge theory quasi conformal is two. We confront the models with the recent electroweak precision measurements and demonstrate that the two technicolor theory is a valid candidate for a dynamical breaking of the electroweak symmetry. The electroweak precision measurements provide useful constraints on the relative mass splitting of the new leptons needed to cure the Witten anomaly. In the case of a fourth family of leptons with ordinary lepton hypercharge the new heavy neutrino can be a natural candidate of cold dark matter. We also propose theories in which the critical number of flavors needed to enter the conformal window is higher than the one with fermions in the two-index symmetric representation, but lower than in the walking technicolor theories with fermions only in the fundamental representation of the gauge group. Due to the near conformal/chiral phase transition, we show that the composite Higgs is very light compared to the intrinsic scale of the technicolor theory. For the two technicolor theory we predict the composite Higgs mass not to exceed 150 GeV.
