description: We prove that every cusped hyperbolic 3-manifold has a finite cover admitting infinitely many geometric ideal triangulations. Furthermore, every long Dehn filling of one cusp in this cover admits infinitely many geometric ideal triangulations. This cover is constructed in several stages, using results about separability of peripheral subgroups and their double cosets, in addition to a new conjugacy separability theorem that may be of independent interest. The infinite sequence of geometric triangulations is supported in a geometric submanifold associated to one cusp, and can be organized into an infinite trivalent tree of Pachner moves.

description: We report on radio continuum observations of the host galaxy of the short gamma-ray burst 071227 (z=0.381) with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA). We detect the galaxy in the 5.5 GHz band with an integrated flux density of Fnu = 43 +/- 11 microJy, corresponding to an unobscured star-formation rate (SFR) of about 24 Msun/yr, forty times higher than what was found from optical emission lines. Among the ~30 well-identified and studied host galaxies of short bursts this is the third case where the host is found to undergo an episode of intense star formation. This suggests that a fraction of all short-burst progenitors hosted in star-forming galaxies could be physically related to recent star formation activity, implying a relatively short merger time scale.

description: Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet theory is a string-generated gravity theory when approaching the low energy limit. By introducing the higher order curvature terms, this theory is supposed to help to solve the black hole singularity problem. In this work, we investigate the evaporation of the static spherically symmetric neutral AdS black holes in Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity in various spacetime dimensions with both positive and negative couping constant $α$. By summarizing the asymptotic behavior of the evaporation process, we find the lifetime of the black holes is dimensional dependent. For $α>0$, in $D\geqslant6$ cases, the black holes will be completely evaporated in a finite time, which resembles the Schwarzschild-AdS case in Einstein gravity. While in $D=4,5$ cases, the black hole lifetime is always infinite, which means the black hole becomes a remnant in the late time. Remarkably, the cases of $α>0, D=4,5$ will solve the terminal temperature divergent problem of the Schwarzschild-AdS case. For $α<0$, in all dimensions, the black hole will always spend a finite time to a minimal mass corresponding to the smallest horizon radius $r_{min}=\sqrt{2|α|}$ which coincide with an additional singularity. This implies that there may exist constraint conditions to the choice of coupling constant.

Introduction: Bathroom Songs? Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick as a Poet

description: Bathroom Songs represents the first study to consider the poetry of one of the most significant literary theorists of the late-twen-tieth  and  early-twenty-first  centuries,  Eve  Kosofsky  Sedgwick.  Most renowned for her trilogy of ground-breaking, queer-theo-retical  texts — Between Men: English Literature and Male Homo-social Desire (1985), Epistemology of the Closet (1990), and Ten-dencies  (1993)  —  Sedgwick  was,  from  the  outset,  and  always  in  her mind a poet. For example, as Hal A. Sedgwick documented, all of the entries on his wife’s CV from 1967 to 1975 were prizes for poetry.2 In 1977, Sedgwick submitted her first book of poems, Traceable, Salient, Thirsty, to various presses, containing key po-ems  from  the  previous  four  years;  but  the  volume,  bafflingly,  failed to find a publisher.

description: I began writing this essay in what used to be a child’s bedroom. Perched at the small desk by the doll’s house, I looked away to my  right  and  saw  how  the  enormous  sash  window  smoothly  held my reflection among the lights and the trees outside. This uncanny  framing,  this  return  to  the  fascination  of  reflection  among  the  tactile  technologies  of  childhood  imagination  feels  like a fitting place to begin thinking about one of the first poems Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick ever published: ‘An Essay on the Picture P l a n e ’.According  to  Fat  Art,  Thin  Art,  Sedgwick  composed  the  poem  in  1973  but  the  tiny  discrepancies  —  a  missing  line  here,  an extra comma there — between the publication of the poem in The Poetry Miscellany in 1975 and the collection of the poem in 1994 hint that the latter text is the product of a slight return to a younger muse, a muse still theorizing the world around her. My own return to ‘An Essay on the Picture Plane’ oscillates between a  question  and  an  instruction  that  Sedgwick’s  poem  scratched  up from my own childhood. The question: “What are you look-ing  at?”  The  instruction:  “Look  with  your  eyes,  not  with  your  hands”. I learnt both at school. And both, like ‘An Essay on the Picture Plane’, left me tongue-tied.

description: Canonical quantum theories with discrete space may imply interesting effects. This article presents a general effective description, paying due attention to the role of higher spatial derivatives in a local expansion and differences to higher time derivatives. In a concrete set of models, it is shown that spatial derivatives one order higher than the classical one are strongly restricted in spherically symmetric effective loop quantum gravity. Moreover, radial holonomy corrections cannot be anomaly-free to this order.

Protecting Free and Open Source Software: Solutions in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act

Open source software

description: Since the development of the General Public License, Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) developers have used copyright law to protect their software even while the goals of legally protecting FOSS often run contradictory to the policies behind the Copyright Act. Fundamental to FOSS licenses is the requirement that source code remains accessible, under the notion that this openness promotes greater progress in FOSS development and results in more robust software. However, because of the prevalent distribution of source code, FOSS is particularly vulnerable to copyright infringement. FOSS developers have preemptively protected their works by inventively licensing their work to the public. However, enforcing FOSS licenses through traditional litigation under the Copyright Act has proven challenging. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act provides legal protection that arises along with the exclusive rights traditionally provided to authors, including protection for technological measures that control access, protection for technological measures that protect exclusive rights of a copyright owner, and protection for the integrity of copyright management information (CMI). However, these extra protections are seemingly counterintuitive to the fundamentals of FOSS licenses, which seek to make their copyrighted works more accessible and less restricted. This article focuses on the provisions of the DMCA covering CMI. These provisions have rarely been litigated or otherwise analyzed. However, a review of court decisions regarding the CMI provisions of the DMCA suggest that they may prove to be particularly beneficial in protecting FOSS projects because of the emphasis by FOSS camps in managing FOSS licenses. Just as FOSS camps have traditionally utilized copyright protection that is seemingly in opposition to FOSS goals to created legal safeguards for their works, similar results can, and should, be achieved using the CMI provisions of the DMCA.

description: The lower dimension $\dim_L$ is the dual concept of the Assouad dimension. As it fails to be monotonic, Fraser and Yu introduced the modified lower dimension $\dim_{ML}$ by making the lower dimension monotonic with the simple formula $\dim_{ML} X=\sup\{\dim_L E: E\subset X\}$. As our first result we prove that the modified lower dimension is finitely stable in any metric space, answering a question of Fraser and Yu. We prove a new, simple characterization for the modified lower dimension. For a metric space $X$ let $\mathcal{K}(X)$ denote the metric space of the non-empty compact subsets of $X$ endowed with the Hausdorff metric. As an application of our characterization, we show that the map $\dim_{ML} \colon \mathcal{K}(X)\to [0,\infty]$ is Borel measurable. More precisely, it is of Baire class $2$, but in general not of Baire class $1$. This answers another question of Fraser and Yu. Finally, we prove that the modified lower dimension is not Borel measurable defined on the closed sets of $\ell^1$ endowed with the Effros Borel structure.

description: This is the second of two papers describing the second data release (DR2) of the Australia Telescope Large Area Survey (ATLAS) at 1.4 GHz. In Paper I we detailed our data reduction and analysis procedures, and presented catalogues of components (discrete regions of radio emission) and sources (groups of physically associated radio components). In this paper we present our key observational results. We find that the 1.4 GHz Euclidean normalised differential number counts for ATLAS components exhibit monotonic declines in both total intensity and linear polarization from millijansky levels down to the survey limit of ~100 uJy. We discuss the parameter space in which component counts may suitably proxy source counts. We do not detect any components or sources with fractional polarization levels greater than 24%. The ATLAS data are consistent with a lognormal distribution of fractional polarization with median level 4% that is independent of flux density down to total intensity ~10 mJy and perhaps even 1 mJy. Each of these findings are in contrast to previous studies; we attribute these new results to improved data analysis procedures. We find that polarized emission from 1.4 GHz millijansky sources originates from the jets or lobes of extended sources that are powered by an active galactic nucleus, consistent with previous findings in the literature. We provide estimates for the sky density of linearly polarized components and sources in 1.4 GHz surveys with ~10" resolution.

description: Unreasonably large damages awards in patent litigation have been an important force in motivating the movement for patent reform. "Apportionment" has found support as a solution to problem damages awards.  Under apportionment, the portion of the overall value of the product that is "attributable" to the patented technology is identified. Then, reasonable royalty damages are calculated with reference to this apportioned value of the patented technology rather than the overall value of the product. While the problems that have motivated the apportionment movement are real and serious, apportionment makes sense as a solution only under the assumption that an economically invalid approach to calculating damages is being taken in the first place. A more sensible solution is to require litigants to take an economically valid approach to damages. In addition, when there are complementarities between assets, such that the combined use of two or more assets is worth more than their individual use, no unique way exists to apportion the overall value of the product among the assets (including the patented technology at issue), rendering apportionment infeasible in many cases. We consider these and other issues that surround apportionment.

description: We consider compact Kählerian manifolds $X$ of even dimension 4 or more, endowed with a log-symplectic structure $Φ$, a generically nondegenerate closed 2-form with simple poles on a divisor $D$ with local normal crossings. A simple linear inequality involving the iterated Poincaré residues of $Φ$ at components of the double locus of $D$ ensures that the pair $(X, Φ)$ has unobstructed deformations and that $D$ deforms locally trivially.
Regulation of Innovation Under Follow-On Biologics Legislation: FDA Exclusivity as an Efficient Incentive Mechanism
Creators: Morgan, Maxwell R.
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Law
subject: FOS: Law

description: As part of its broader effort to reform the American health care system, Congress has recently enacted legislation that creates a statutory pathway for FDA approval of generic "follow-on" biologics products. A crucial debate leading up to the passage of this legislation was whether and to what extent it should provide originator biologics manufacturers with a period of FDA data exclusivity protection as an incentive for future innovation. This debate was particularly significant because of the ongoing reevaluation in the United States of the appropriate role of patent law in fostering technological advance, with recent Supreme Court decisions indicating a trend towards retrenchment of the scope of available patent protections. In the end, the bill adopted by Congress and signed into law by President Obama affords manufacturers of new biologics products with 12 years of data exclusivity.  The central thesis of this Article is that optimal biologics innovation policy would situate FDA exclusivity as the industry's primary incentive mechanism, displacing patent law in that role. The inclusion of a lengthy 12-year data exclusivity period in the newly enacted legislation is a laudable step in the right direction. But reliance on patenting in the biologics innovation process would also likely have to be substantially curtailed in order to attain optimal levels of innovation. If this were achieved, FDA exclusivity would act as an adequate surrogate for the incentives offered by patents, while a number of pathologies currently associated with patenting in the biomedical research context would be eliminated.  This Article also argues that Congress should adopt a regime of market exclusivity protection instead of the data exclusivity protection presently included in the new legislation. Market exclusivity would permit the FDA to adopt rules requiring public disclosure of both basic research results (which may cease to be published absent strong patent rights) and clinical trials data (which cannot be divulged under a data exclusivity regime) in exchange for FDA approval. Such disclosure rules would contribute to efficient, disaggregated research into new and improved therapeutic approaches.
The Abject Animal Poetics of 'The Warm Decembers'
Creators: name: Westwood, Ben
Publisher: name: punctum books
Year: 2017

description: Sedgwick’s long, unfinished verse novel, ‘The Warm Decembers’ (c. 1978–1986),  invites  us  to  think  carefully  about  the  relations  between  humans  and  animals,  the  value  of  animals  in  poetry,  and  how  these  ideas  might  link  to  the  abject.  In  what  follows,  these points of connection emerge as functions of the “perverse, desiring  energies”  which,  Sedgwick  suggests,  animate  and  col-our  the  poem’s  representation  of  boundaries  between  states  of  being, between, that is, beings dead and alive, past and present, real  and  fictional,  and  human  and  animal.1  In  ‘The  Warm  De-cembers’, animals are figures of the abject, which intensify and diversify the poem’s expressive capabilities. They are represent-ed as something other than the simple outside of humanity, as parts of structures which are never stable but constantly folding in on themselves or dissolving into indistinctness. And, in this linguistic and conceptual reconfiguration, Sedgwick offers a vi-sion  of  how  the  category  of  the  abject  can  help  us  re-describe  our relations with different forms of animal life and a vision of how  animals  can  offer  writers  uniquely  flexible  models  for  ar-ticulation and expression.

description: In ‘A Poem is Being Written’, Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick declares:I have spent — wasted — a long time gazing in renewed stu-pefaction at the stupidity and psychic expense of my failure, during  [my  teen  years],  to  make  the  obvious  swerve  that  would  have  connected  my  homosexual  desire  and  identifi-cation  with  my  need  and  love,  as  a  woman,  of  women.  The gesture would have been more a tautology even than a con-nection. Yet it went and has still gone unmade.4Sedgwick’s coming out as, to put it crudely, not a lesbian is sand-wiched  in  between  her  description  of  her  deep  depression  as  a  teenager  and  a  self-identification  that  has  earned  her  some  praise, lots of scorn, and even more virulent forms of criticism: “In among the many ways I do identify as a woman, the identi-fication  as  a  gay  person  is  a  firmly  male  one,  identification  ‘as’  a gay man; and in among its tortuous, and alienating paths are knit the relations, for me, of telling and of knowing”.5 Related to this, she explains, is the fact that, instead of a “will-to-live”, she possesses  an  “aggressive  will-to-narrate  and  will-to-uncover”.  “Un-covering” can mean revealing in an epistemological sense but also to ferret out a secret, lay bare, or, literally, to reveal one’s body,  all  practices  also  related  to  various  kinds  of  (often  para-noid, to use Sedgwick’s term, and extremely productive) know-ing, and in ‘A Poem is Being Written’, Sedgwick exposes her ass as a site of shame and pleasure, just as she confesses her attach-ment to other forms of ideological exposure.
Predictability and Patentable Processes: The Federal Circuit's In re Bilski Decision and Its Effect on the Incentive to Invent

subject: FOS: Law

description: Throughout the past two centuries, the U.S. patent system has defined the scope of (potentially) patentable processes by proscribing patents on fundamental principles (including abstract ideas, laws of nature, and natural phenomena). Unfortunately, such a description of patentable subject matter led to ambiguity and unpredictability in the application of the patent laws. In 2008, the Federal Circuit addressed this uncertainty by promulgating a new standard to describe the ambit of patentable processes:  a process may constitute patentable subject matter if (1) it utilizes a particular machine or apparatus, or (2) it transforms an object into a different state or thing. This Article describes how the Federal Circuit's new standard furthers the underlying policy goal of all patent laws:  the incentivization of innovation. Specifically, this paper argues that this new rule presents a simple and easy to apply standard that will increase the predictability of the patent laws. In the presence of such predictability, prospective inventors and investors are more likely to engage in research and development, thus leading to increased inventive activity.
Enhanced signal propagation in a network with unidirectional and random couplings

description: We investigate the effect of unidirectional regular and random couplings of units in a network on stochastic resonance. For simplicity we choose the units as Bellows map with bistability. In a regular network we apply a weak periodic signal and noise to first unit only. Above certain coupling strength undamped and enhanced signal propagation takes place. Resonance occurs at the same value of noise intensity in all units. The response amplitude displays sigmoidal function type variation with unit number. When all the units are driven by the weak periodic force and noise oscillatory variation of response amplitude with unit number occurs. In the network with random coupling all the units are subjected to periodic force and noise. In this case the value of noise intensity at which resonance occurs and the corresponding value of average response amplitude increases nonlinearly with the number of units wired. Numerical simulation with multiple couplings shows that in both type of networks single coupling is sufficient to realize a great improvement in stochastic resonance and signal propagation.

description: ‘Sisterhood  is  Very  Complicated’:  there’s  a  reason  that  epithet  was  ditched  in  favour  of  a  dactyl  with  half  the  syllables.  Still,  it’s the truth, if not exclusive of its shorter, slighter sister slogan. Here’s  a  story  of  how  Eve  Kosofsky  Sedgwick  taught  me  that  complexity. And its power too, even sorcery, a word that comes (no, not from soror but) from Latin serere, to arrange things in a sequence — particularly, in the case of sorcery, the lots (“sorts”) that make a fortune. It’s a story about poetry and making poetry. Or about making fortune, fortuna. I used to feel kind of left out, in the ID450 Collective of wom-en faculty and grad students (and a boat-builder, a math tutor, a childcare worker), mostly studying and teaching literature and writing at, or near, Boston University in the early 1980s.1 By na-ture, just because I usually do arrange that, but also, and more particularly, because I wasn’t  fat,  or rather wasn’t seen as fat or understood as fat (though I’d always been fat secretly). Those I loved most in that group were, or anyhow saw themselves that way,  above  all  Eve.  Not  that  I  didn’t  love  us  all.  But  half  of  us  were thin and half of us were fat, as far as we knew, and indeed I was at my very thinnest then, or so it scarily appeared, as I’d responded  to  the  major  heterosexual  experiment  of  my  youth  (a traumatic one) by losing my appetite for two years. And the fat  ones  seemed  to  have  a  lot  more  quiddity:  they  were  more  radiantly,  as  the  expression  goes,  themselves.  There  was  more to them.

description: We consider the additional entropy production (EP) incurred by a fixed quantum or classical process on some initial state $ρ$, above the minimum EP incurred by the same process on any initial state. We show that this additional EP, which we term the "mismatch cost of $ρ$", has a universal information-theoretic form: it is given by the contraction of the relative entropy between $ρ$ and the least-dissipative initial state $φ$ over time. We derive versions of this result for integrated EP incurred over the course of a process, for trajectory-level fluctuating EP, and for instantaneous EP rate. We also show that mismatch cost for fluctuating EP obeys an integral fluctuation theorem. Our results demonstrate a fundamental relationship between "thermodynamic irreversibility" (generation of EP) and "logical irreversibility" (inability to know the initial state corresponding to a given final state). We use this relationship to derive quantitative bounds on the thermodynamics of quantum error correction and to propose a thermodynamically-operationalized measure of the logical irreversibility of a quantum channel. Our results hold for both finite and infinite dimensional systems, and generalize beyond EP to many other thermodynamic costs, including nonadiabatic EP, free energy loss, and entropy gain.

description: In order to test the expansion of the universe and its geometry, we carry out an Alcock & Paczynski cosmological test, that is, an evaluation of the ratio of observed angular size to radial/redshift size. The main advantage of this test is that it does not depend on the evolution of the galaxies, but only on the geometry of the universe. However, the redshift distortions produced by the peculiar velocities of the gravitational infall do also have an influence, which should be separated from the cosmological effect. We derive the anisotropic correlation function of sources in three surveys within the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS): galaxies from SDSS-III/Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopy Survey-Data Release 10 (BOSS-DR10), and QSOs from SDSS-II and SDSS-III/BOSS-DR10. From these, we are able to disentangle the dynamic and geometric distortions and thus derive the ratio of observed angular size to radial/redshift size at different redshifts. We also add some other values available in the literature. Then, we use the data to evaluate which cosmological model fits them. We used six different models: concordance Lambda-CDM, Einstein-de Sitter, open-Friedman Cosmology without dark energy, flat quasi-steady state cosmology, a static universe with a linear Hubble law, and a static universe with tired-light redshift. Only two of the six models above fit the data of the Alcock & Paczynski test: concordance Lambda-CDM and static universe with tired-light redshift; whereas the rest of them are excluded at a >95% confidence level. If we assume that Lambda-CDM is the correct one, the best fit with a free Omega_m is produced for Omega_m=0.24^{+0.10}_{-0.07}.

Waiting in the Dark: Some Musings on Sedgwick's Performative(s)

description: This  chapter  was  originally  given  as  a  paper  at  the  Fat  Art,  Thin  Art  symposium  held  at  the  University  of  York  on  Febru-ary  14,  2014,  placed  into  the  ‘Autobiographies’  section  of  the  day.  It  is  only  now,  only  later,  with  the  benefit  of  that  oft-cited  lens  —  hindsight  —  that  the  date  seems  a  particularly  apposite  one, although I suspect it was anything but an arbitrary choice. So  much  of  what  was  said  that  day  was  said  with  such  emo-tion in the close quarters of a room full of people that seemed uncommonly close to each other and to the material they were presenting  (although,  in  several  instances,  many  had  only  just  met)  that  it  feels,  now,  improbably  difficult  to  produce  a  writ-ten record of my part in that particularly lovely and particularly unusual academic event, and yet what follows is my effort to do just that.

description: Let $K$ be a field. The étale open topology on the $K$-points $V(K)$ of a $K$-variety $V$ was introduced in our previous work. The étale open topology is non-discrete if and only if $K$ is large. If $K$ is separably, real, $p$-adically closed then the étale open topology agrees with the Zariski, order, valuation topology, respectively. We show that existentially definable sets in perfect large fields behave well with respect to this topology: such sets are finite unions of étale open subsets of Zariski closed sets. This implies that existentially definable sets in arbitrary perfect large fields enjoy some of the well-known topological properties of definable sets in algebraically, real, and $p$-adically closed fields. We introduce and study the class of éz fields: $K$ is éz if $K$ is large and every definable set is a finite union of étale open subsets of Zariski closed sets. This should be seen as a generalized notion of model completeness for large fields. Algebraically closed, real closed, $p$-adically closed, and bounded $\mathrm{PAC}$ fields are éz. (In particular pseudofinite fields and infinite algebraic extensions of finite fields are éz.) We develop the basics of a theory of definable sets in éz fields. This gives a uniform approach to the theory of definable sets across all characteristic zero local fields and a new topological theory of definable sets in bounded $\mathrm{PAC}$ fields. We also show that some prominent examples of possibly non-model complete model-theoretically tame fields (characteristic zero Henselian fields and Frobenius fields) are éz.

The post-growth funding dilemma of the welfare state: An explorative analysis of the growth dependence of the Austrian welfare state
Creators: name: Kaufmann, Raphael
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022
Subjects: post-growth
Austrian welfare state
growth dependence

contradiction of capitalism

description: To expedite a social-ecological transformation, it is necessary to overcome structural growth dependencies that currently lock societies in a spiral of social-ecological crises. This master's thesis thus scrutinises the issue of welfare state growth dependence, which until now has received only minor attention in post-growth literature. Based on a comprehensive literature review, I develop a typology of welfare state growth dependence, delineating four distinct dilemmas: (i) the expenditure dilemma, (ii) the revenue dilemma, (iii) the automatic stabiliser dilemma, and lastly (iv) the post-growth funding dilemma – the latter being the focus of this thesis. In essence, the post-growth funding dilemma arises in a degrowing economy, as the sustainable downscaling of economic activities results in declining welfare state receipts, ceteris paribus. I argue that the post-growth funding dilemma is a type of second-order growth dependence grounded in the growth dependencies of those socioeconomic areas used as sources for welfare state funding. I proceed with a political economy analysis of the post-growth funding dilemma, drawing on insights from critical state theory and in particular neo-Marxist accounts of state imperatives. I infer that the post-growth funding dilemma constitutes a latent contradiction of welfare capitalism.
Following an overview of the regime characteristics and expenditures of the Austrian welfare state, I analyse the tax base composition of welfare state funding in Austria with respect to labour, capital, land, and consumption. Subsequently, these socioeconomic areas are subjected to a growth dependence analysis, which leads to a more nuanced restatement of the post-growth funding dilemma. I infer that the growth dependence of employment is the main source of the post-growth funding dilemma. On a more structural level, however, capital as self-expanding value is identified as the main cause of growth dependencies in the capitalist economic system. In the case of the Austrian welfare state, I conclude that its heavy reliance on labour taxes and social contributions constitutes the main cause of its post-growth funding dilemma. Built on the insights developed, I formulate tentative suggestions for policy avenues towards growth independent welfare states. To overcome the post-growth funding dilemma, the following measures are proposed: taxes on various forms of capital; a redistributive reduction of labour taxes and social contributions; measures to tackle the growth dependence of employment (e.g. working time reduction); and taxes on land. The thesis concludes with a discussion of the results and a more encompassing outlook pertaining to the nature of welfare states in a future post- growth society.

Multi-Robot Pickup and Delivery via Distributed Resource Allocation

description: In this paper, we consider a large-scale instance of the classical Pickup-and-Delivery Vehicle Routing Problem (PDVRP) that must be solved by a network of mobile cooperating robots. Robots must self-coordinate and self-allocate a set of pickup/delivery tasks while minimizing a given cost figure. This results in a large, challenging Mixed-Integer Linear Problem that must be cooperatively solved % without a central coordinator. We propose a distributed algorithm based on a primal decomposition approach that provides a feasible solution to the problem in finite time. An interesting feature of the proposed scheme is that each robot computes only its own block of solution, thereby preserving privacy of sensible information. The algorithm also exhibits attractive scalability properties that guarantee solvability of the problem even in large networks. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first attempt to provide a scalable distributed solution to the problem. The algorithm is first tested through Gazebo simulations on a ROS~2 platform, highlighting the effectiveness of the proposed solution. Finally, experiments on a real testbed with a team of ground and aerial robots are provided.
Introduction: Someday We'll Look Back with Pleasure Even on This: Sedgwick's Uncollected Poems

description: In one of the final lyrics Sedgwick published in her lifetime, she offered  a  translation  and  recontextualisation  of  Virgil’s  phrase:  “Forsan  et  haec  olim  meminisse  juvabit”:  “Someday  we’ll  look  back  with  pleasure  even  on  this”.  The  poem  documented  how,  even though “Things with us are actually very bad” at the time of writing, Sedgwick had a reparative sense of the future, maso-chistic  pleasure  she  would  experience  recalling  the  sore  scene;  in a similar way to which, in the earlier ‘A scar, just a scar’, she knew that “someday soon” she would “feel more nostalgia” for the painful hospital experience she was immersed in “than for any school” she had fantasied about.

description: Nanofabricated quantum bits permit large-scale integration but usually suffer from short coherence times due to interactions with their solid-state environment. The outstanding challenge is to engineer the environment so that it minimally affects the qubit, but still allows qubit control and scalability. Here we demonstrate a long-lived single-electron spin qubit in a Si/SiGe quantum dot with all-electrical two-axis control. The spin is driven by resonant microwave electric fields in a transverse magnetic field gradient from a local micromagnet, and the spin state is read out in single-shot mode. Electron spin resonance occurs at two closely spaced frequencies, which we attribute to two valley states. Thanks to the weak hyperfine coupling in silicon, Ramsey and Hahn echo decay timescales of 1us and 40us, respectively, are observed. This is almost two orders of magnitude longer than the intrinsic timescales in III-V quantum dots, while gate operation times are comparable to those achieved in GaAs. This places the single-qubit rotations in the fault-tolerant regime and strongly raises the prospects of quantum information processing based on quantum dots.
