Feasibility of a Unitary Quantum Dynamics in the Gowdy $T^3$ Cosmological Model

description: It has been pointed out that it is impossible to obtain a unitary implementation of the dynamics for the polarized Gowdy $T^{3}$ cosmologies in an otherwise satisfactory, nonperturbative canonical quantization proposed for these spacetimes. By introducing suitable techniques to deal with deparametrized models in cosmology that possess an explicit time dependence (as it is the case for the toroidal Gowdy model), we present in this paper a detailed analysis about the roots of this failure of unitarity. We investigate the impediments to a unitary implementation of the evolution by considering modifications to the dynamics. These modifications may be regarded as perturbations. We show in a precise manner why and where unitary implementability fails in our system, and prove that the obstructions are extremely sensitive to modifications in the Hamiltonian that dictates the time evolution of the symmetry-reduced model. We are able to characterize to a certain extent how far the model is from unitarity. Moreover, we demonstrate that the dynamics can actually be approximated as much as one wants by means of unitary transformations.

Getting to the roots of wilderness : Chinese Canadian immigrant perceptions of wilderness in British Columbia
Creators: name: Geddes, Bronwen Claire
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: For centuries, Western societies thought of wilderness as a barren, desolate place that harboured temptation and sin. Over the last hundred and fifty years, a marked shift has occurred in Western perception of this so-called savage place; it has become revered, protected, and even worshipped. What was once the Devil's playground is now thought to provide a locus of spiritual regeneration and hope for the future. In North America, this pronounced shift is thought to coincide with notions of the sublime and the frontier. This study explores the perceptions of wilderness among Chinese Canadian immigrants in British Columbia, people who have been less influenced by concepts of the sublime and frontier. It examines closely the idea that wilderness today is a self-evident construct that holds across most inhabitants of the province. Instead, ideas about wilderness held by people who have immigrated from China, similar to the ideas held by early immigrants from Europe, are influenced by tradition (especially Confucianism, Taoism, and, more recently, Maoism), space (i.e. coming from densely populated areas), and language. Through this study, it has become apparent that the language and discourse surrounding wilderness in Canada is markedly different from that of Chinese Canadian immigrants. While the language and meaning of wilderness, as referred to in Western society, is assumed relatively easily for interviewees, the identification with moral and aesthetic responses common to discussions of wilderness in North America is much less likely to manifest itself. Wilderness, which represented barrenness and desolation to interviewees when they lived in China, has come to represent forests, mountains, animals, and lack of human influence. What previously had different philosophical meaning, now, in a cognitive sense, represents beauty and, potentially, a locus of spirituality. The results of this study have important consequences for decision-making in cross-cultural environments. Policy surrounding wilderness or environmental preservation may be without meaning or relevance to new immigrants, who bring with them shared meanings and relationships to nature that may or may not be incongruous with Canadian environmental policy. In facing such debates, it is crucial to understand the perceptions of various players and how those ideas are linked to tradition, language, and the geography of the familiar. It is also critical to ask - What is wilderness and why are we protecting it above all else?

description: Proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR) is a widely used tool for chemical structural analysis. However, 1H-NMR spectra suffer from natural aberrations that render computer-assisted automated identification of these spectra difficult, and at times impossible. Previous efforts have successfully implemented instrument dependent or conditional identification of these spectra. In this paper, we report the first instrument independent computer-assisted automated identification system for a group of complex carbohydrates known as the xyloglucan oligosaccharides. The developed system is also implemented on the world wide web (http://www.ccrc.uga.edu) as part of an identification package called the CCRC-Net and is intended to recognize any submitted 1H-NMR spectrum of these structures with reasonable signal-to-noise ratio, recorded on any 500 MHz NMR instrument. The system uses Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) technology and is insensitive to the instrument and environment-dependent variations in 1H-NMR spectroscopy. In this paper, comparative results of the ANN engine versus a multidimensional Bayes' classifier is also presented.

description: The Pratt-Arrow measure of absolute risk aversion, as defined by r(x)=-un(x)/u1(x), is well known to be invariant to linear transformations. However, this invariance property applies with respect to transformations of u and not with respect to arbitrary rescalings of the outcome variables, x. The effects of this misunderstanding has led to ambiguity in classifying attitudes by risk aversion coefficients. It is shown that inappropriate rescalings of the outcome variable can lead to inaccurate rankings produced by generalized stochastic dominance.

description: In many social dilemmas, individuals tend to generate a situation with low payoffs instead of a system optimum ("tragedy of the commons"). Is the routing of traffic a similar problem? In order to address this question, we present experimental results on humans playing a route choice game in a computer laboratory, which allow one to study decision behavior in repeated games beyond the Prisoner's Dilemma. We will focus on whether individuals manage to find a cooperative and fair solution compatible with the system-optimal road usage. We find that individuals tend towards a user equilibrium with equal travel times in the beginning. However, after many iterations, they often establish a coherent oscillatory behavior, as taking turns performs better than applying pure or mixed strategies. The resulting behavior is fair and compatible with system-optimal road usage. In spite of the complex dynamics leading to coordinated oscillations, we have identified mathematical relationships quantifying the observed transition process. Our main experimental discoveries for 2- and 4-person games can be explained with a novel reinforcement learning model for an arbitrary number of persons, which is based on past experience and trial-and-error behavior. Gains in the average payoff seem to be an important driving force for the innovation of time-dependent response patterns, i.e. the evolution of more complex strategies. Our findings are relevant for decision support systems and routing in traffic or data networks.

description: LF-Monopix1 and TJ-Monopix1 are depleted monolithic active pixel sensors (DMAPS) in 150 nm LFoundry and 180 nm TowerJazz CMOS technologies respectively. They are designed for usage in high-rate and high-radiation environments such as the ATLAS Inner Tracker at the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC). Both chips are read out using a column-drain readout architecture. LF-Monopix1 follows a design with large charge collection electrode where readout electronics are placed inside. Generally, this offers a homogeneous electrical field in the sensor and short drift distances. TJ-Monopix1 employs a small charge collection electrode with readout electronics separated from the electrode and an additional n-type implant to achieve full depletion of the sensitive volume. This approach offers a low sensor capacitance and therefore low noise and is typically implemented with small pixel size. Both detectors have been characterized before and after irradiation using lab tests and particle beams.

description: Two Mpc-size contact discontinuities have recently been identified in the XMM-Newton and Suzaku X-ray observations of the outskirts of the Perseus cluster (Walker et al. 2020). These structures have been tentatively interpreted as "sloshing cold fronts", which are customarily associated with differential motions of the cluster gas, perturbed by a merger. In this study we consider an alternative scenario, namely, that the most prominent discontinuity near the cluster virial radius is the result of the collision between the accretion shock and the "runaway" merger shock. We also discuss the possible origin of the second discontinuity at ~1.2 Mpc.

description: We present echelle spectroscopy of the close pre-main-sequence binary star systems DQ Tau and UZ Tau-E. Over a 16 day time interval we acquired 14 nights of spectra for DQ Tau and 12 nights of spectra for UZ Tau-E. This represents the entire phase of DQ Tau, and 63 percent of the phase of UZ Tau-E. As expected, photospheric lines such as Li I 6707 clearly split into two components as the primary and secondary orbit one another, as did the permitted line He I 5876. Unlike the photospheric features, the forbidden lines of [O I] 6300 and [O I] 5577, retain the same shape throughout the orbit. Therefore these lines must originate outside of the immediate vicinity of the two stars and any circumstellar disks that participate in the orbital motion of the stars.

description: A daily limitation on the number of hours irrigators can pump may be imposed by utility companies seeking to use the company's generating capacity more efficiently. Three power interruption patterns are analyzed to determine electricity cost reductions which would have to be offered to keep irrigators from being made worse off by the interruptions. Irrigation system pumping capacity and the irrigator's attitudes toward risk are found to be primary determinants of the size of the required reductions.

description: Nanotechnology has not only provided us the possibility of developing quantum machines but also noncanonical power sources able to drive them. Here we focus on studying the performance of quantum machines driven by arbitrary combinations of equilibrium reservoirs and a form of engineered reservoirs consisting of noninteracting particles but whose distribution functions are nonthermal. We provide the expressions for calculating the maximum efficiency of those machines without needing any knowledge of how the nonequilibrium reservoirs were actually made. The formulas require the calculation of a quantity that we term entropy current, which we also derive. We illustrate our methodology through a solvable toy model where heat "spontaneously" flows against the temperature gradient.

description: We show that the cosmological constant appears as a Lagrange multiplier if nature is described by a canonical noncommutative spacetime. It is thus an arbitrary parameter unrelated to the action and thus to vacuum fluctuations. The noncommutative algebra restricts general coordinate transformations to four-volume preserving noncommutative coordinate transformations. The noncommutative gravitational action is thus an unimodular noncommutative gravity. We show that spacetime noncommutativity provides a very natural justification to an unimodular gravity solution to the cosmological problem. We obtain the right order of magnitude for the critical energy density of the universe if we assume that the scale for spacetime noncommutativity is the Planck scale.

description: Fano resonance has raised great attention in nanophotonics attributing to its unique properties.In this work, we study the imaging function of Fano-resonant silicon metasurfece governed by quasi-bound states in the continuum (BICs). First, by breaking the in-plane symmetry of nanodisks, a symmetry-protected quasi-BIC is excited with the emergence of a sharp Fano resonance. The near field distributions, multipole contributions and radiation patterns of the metasurface are performed to uncover the mechanism and characteristics of this resonance. In addition, we investigate the imaging function of this Fano-resonant metasurface assisted by phase-change material Ge_2Sb_2Te_5(GST). Through selective modification of different units from a-GST to c-GST, the produced transmitted image well reconstructs the target letter. Our finding may provide a route to achieve efficient metasurface-based imaging and fast spatial modulations.

description: A measure for evaluating whether live hog and cattle futures prices represent rational forecasts is presented. It is assumed that the mechanisms which generate rational price forecasts possess the same stochastic properties as the cash prices with which they are associated. Using empirical data, tests are constructed which suggest that for contracts more than two months from maturity the rationality hypothesis is generally rejected. These findings are related to other studies of futures performance and the livestock markets.

description: Crop yields, farm income risk and returns, and soil losses were simulated from 1974 to 1984 for southeastern Washington Palouse-region farms in three climatic subregions under alternative conservation and commodity policy scenarios. Historical commodity programs reinforced preexisting disincentives to retire highly erodible land to perennial grasses, but cropland base protection (CBP) legislation would eliminate such disincentives and increase profitability and decrease risk of land retirement. Nevertheless, additional incentives would be needed. Government rental payments can provide necessary incentives, but they are more costly without CBP. CBP was not included in the 1985 farm bill.

description: The R Coronae Borealis (RCB) stars are extremely hydrogen-deficient carbon stars which produce large amounts of dust, causing sudden deep declines in brightness. They are believed to be formed primarily through white dwarf mergers. In this paper, we use MESA to investigate how post-merger objects with a range of initial He-burning shell temperatures from 2.1 - 5.4 *10^8 K with solar and subsolar metallicities evolve into RCB stars. The most successful model of these has subsolar metallicity and an initial temperature near 3 *10^8 K. We find a strong dependence on initial He-burning shell temperature for surface abundances of elements involved in the CNO cycle, as well as differences in effective temperature and radius of RCBs. Elements involved in nucleosynthesis present around 1 dex diminished surface abundances in the 10% solar metallicity models, with the exception of carbon and lithium which are discussed in detail. Models with subsolar metallicities also exhibit longer lifetimes than their solar counterparts. Additionally, we find that convective mixing of the burned material occurs only in the first few years of post-merger evolution, after which the surface abundances are constant during and after the RCB phase, providing evidence for why these stars show a strong enhancement of partial He-burning products.

Leptogenesis in Unified Theories with Type II See-Saw

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: In some classes of flavour models based on unified theories with a type I see-saw mechanism, the prediction for the mass of the lightest right-handed neutrino is in conflict with the lower bound from the requirement of successful thermal leptogenesis. We investigate how lifting the absolute neutrino mass scale by adding a type II see-saw contribution proportional to the unit matrix can solve this problem. Generically, lifting the neutrino mass scale increases the prediction for the mass of the lightest right-handed neutrino while the decay asymmetry is enhanced and washout effects are reduced, relaxing the lower bound on the mass of the lightest right-handed neutrino from thermal leptogenesis. For instance in classes of unified theories where the lightest right-handed neutrino dominates the type I see-saw contribution, we find that thermal leptogenesis becomes possible if the neutrino mass scale is larger than about 0.15 eV, making this scenario testable by neutrinoless double beta decay experiments in the near future.

description: The quantity demanded in a market can be decomposed into two components: the number of purchasers and the quantity per purchaser. Focusing on these two components, the demands for different types of single-flavor fruit juice commodities are analyzed. The approach allows the market demand elasticities to be estimated as the sum of elasticity estimates for the numbers of purchasers and the elasticity estimates for the quantities per purchaser. The method of seemingly unrelated regressions is employed to estimate the equations for the two demand components for the different types of juice.

description: Millimeter Wave (mmWave) communications rely on highly directional beams to combat severe propagation loss. In this paper, an adaptive beam search algorithm based on spatial scanning, called Iterative Deactivation and Beam Shifting (IDBS), is proposed for mmWave beam alignment. IDBS does not require advance information such as the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) and channel statistics, and matches the training overhead to the unknown SNR to achieve satisfactory performance. The algorithm works by gradually deactivating beams using a Bayesian probability criterion based on a uniform improper prior, where beam deactivation can be implemented with low-complexity operations that require computing a low-degree polynomial or a search through a look-up table. Numerical results confirm that IDBS adapts to different propagation scenarios such as line-of-sight and non-line-of-sight and to different SNRs. It can achieve better tradeoffs between training overhead and beam alignment accuracy than existing non-adaptive algorithms that have fixed training overheads.

I argue that the ritual of marriage enshrines the commodity and gives it a larger visual appeal that needs to be understood in the context of India's economic liberalization of the nineties. The narrative reflects the normative role cinema can play in shaping ideas about religion, politics and economics in contemporary India. In order to interrogate the Bollywood film's tendency to homogenize Indian cultural experience, the thesis also investigates resistant films such as Mira Nair's Monsoon Wedding (2001), and Deepa Mehta's Fire (1996). Also, I demonstrate how national print media and women's magazines in particular reinforce stereotypes about marriage in the globalized economy. Hum Aapke Hain Kaun's opulent visual spectacle functioned as a marker of class and became a symbol of self-representation of that class as well. This thesis engages with debates about the construction of nation, family and women. The thesis presents specific examples from Hum Aapke Hain Kaun and the resonance it has within public debates about morality and sexuality including the work of artist M.F. Hussain. It also argues that the film is a visual endorsement of the fundamentalist and exclusive ideas Hindutva (militant Hindu nationalism) was trying to perpetuate in the highly visible public spheres of the Nation.

description: This study presents the empirical results of estimating the household broiler meat expenditure pattern in the western region using the 1977-78 United States Department of Agriculture Nationwide Food Consumption Survey. The effects of assuming homoscedasticity and heteroscedasticity in the tobit model on resulting estimates are discussed in terms of estimated coefficients, marginal effects, and elasticities. Based on the strength of the sample data, the results suggest that specification of the homoscedastic model should be rejected in favor of the heteroscedastic model, implying that the validity of homoscedasticity should not be routinely accepted without testing when applying tobit procedure to analyze survey data.

description: Estimates of the benefits of environmental improvement, usually a nonmarket commodity, can be a valuable part of the information base for economically efficient environmental decision making. The objective of this paper is to review the literature of one class of nonmarket valuation methodologies based on observed consumption behavior subsumed under the term "travel cost demand models." Relative to travel cost demand models, we examine policy issues and underlying concepts focusing on choice theory and welfare evaluation. In addition, we identify major related empirical issues including demand specification, data problems, demand estimation, and welfare measurement. Unanswered questions may contribute to a research agenda.
Revised and new proper motions for confirmed and candidate Milky Way dwarf galaxies

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)

description: A new derivation of systemic proper motions of Milky Way satellites is presented, and applied to 59 confirmed or candidate dwarf galaxy satellites using Gaia Data Release 2. This constitutes all known Milky Way dwarf galaxies (and likely candidates) as of May 2020 except the Magellanic Clouds, the Canis Major and Hydra 1 stellar overdensities, and the tidally disrupting Bootes III and Sagittarius dwarf galaxies. We derive systemic proper motions for the first time for Indus 1, DES J0225+0304, Cetus 2, Pictor 2 and Leo T, but note that the latter three rely on photometry that is of poorer quality than for the rest of the sample. We cannot resolve a signal for Bootes 4, Cetus 3, Indus 2, Pegasus 3, or Virgo 1. Our method is inspired by the maximum likelihood approach of Pace & Li (2019) and examines simultaneously the spatial, color-magnitude, and proper motion distribution of sources. Systemic proper motions are derived without the need to identify confirmed radial velocity members, although the proper motions of these stars, where available, are incorporated into the analysis through a prior on the model. The associated uncertainties on the systemic proper motions are on average a factor of $\sim 1.4$ smaller than existing literature values. Analysis of the implied membership distribution of the satellites suggests we accurately identify member stars with a contamination rate less than 1 in 20.

Probing Very High Energy Prompt Muon and Neutrino fluxes and the cosmic ray knee via Underground Muons

description: We calculate event rate and demonstrate the observational feasibility of very high energy muons (1-1000 TeV) in a large mass underground detector operating as a pair-meter. This energy range corresponds to surface muon energies of $\sim$(5 TeV - 5000 TeV) and primary cosmic ray energies of $\sim$ (50 TeV - 5 $\times 10^4$ TeV). Such measurements would significantly assist in an improved understanding of the prompt contribution to $ν_e, ν_μ$ and $μ$ fluxes in present and future ultra-high energy neutrino detectors. In addition, they would shed light on the origin of the observed 'knee' in the cosmic ray spectrum.

description: Monte Carlo analysis of the performance of alternative estimators of simultaneous system's coefficients in the presence of autocorrelation is performed. The "true" underlying model is an estimated, three-equation, monthly model of the U.S. pork market. Estimators for ex post forecasts are also compared. Multicollinearity is found to be a salient characteristic likely adversely affecting estimator performance. Results show that correcting for autocorrelation is desirable when levels of autocorrelation are high for both parameter accuracy and ex post forecasting. However, the best structural coefficient estimator for high levels of autocorrelation is not necessarily the best estimator for ex post forecasting.
Prisoner's dilemma on dynamic networks under perfect rationality

description: We consider the prisoner's dilemma being played repeatedly on a dynamic network, where agents may choose their actions as well as their co-players. This leads to co-evolution of network structure and strategy patterns of the players. Individual decisions are made fully rationally and are based on local information only. They are made such that links to defecting agents are resolved and that cooperating agents build up new links. The exact form of the updating scheme is motivated by profit maximization and not by imitation. If players update their decisions in a synchronized way the system exhibits oscillatory dynamics: Periods of growing cooperation (and total linkage) alternate with periods of increasing defection. The cyclical behavior is reduced and the system stabilizes at significant total cooperation levels when players are less synchronized. In this regime we find emergent network structures resembling 'complex' and hierarchical topology. The exponent of the power-law degree distribution ($γ\sim8.6$) perfectly matches empirical results of human communication networks.
