description: In this paper we present a class of higher derivative theories of gravity which admit Birkhoff's theorem. In particular, we explicitly show that in this class of theories, although generically the field equations are of fourth order, under spherical (plane or hyperbolic) symmetry, all the field equations reduce to second order and have exactly the same or similar structure to those of Lovelock theories, depending on the spacetime dimensions and the order of the Lagrangian.

description: Temperature and carrier density dependent spin dynamics for GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells (QWs) with different structural symmetry has been studied by using time-resolved Kerr rotation technique. The spin relaxation time is measured to be much longer for the symmetrically-designed GaAs quantum well comparing with the asymmetrical one, indicating the strong influence of Rashba spin-orbit coupling on spin relaxation. D'yakonov-Perel' (DP) mechanism has been revealed to be the dominant contribution for spin relaxation in GaAs/AlGaAs QWs. The spin relaxation time exhibits non-monotonic dependent behavior on both temperature and photo-excited carrier density, revealing the important role of non-monotonic temperature and density dependence of electron-electron Coulomb scattering. Our experimental observations demonstrate good agreement with recently developed spin relaxation theory based on microscopic kinetic spin Bloch equation approach.

description: In this paper we simplify and extend previous work on three-point functions in Vasiliev's higher spin gauge theory in AdS4. We work in a gauge in which the space-time dependence of Vasiliev's master fields is gauged away completely, leaving only the internal twistor-like variables. The correlation functions of boundary operators can be easily computed in this gauge. We find complete agreement of the tree level three point functions of higher spin currents in Vasiliev's theory with the conjectured dual free O(N) vector theory.

description: We present observations of NGC 839 made with the Wide Field Spectrograph (WiFeS) on the ANU 2.3m telescope. Our data cover a region 25" x 60" at a spatial resolution of ~1.5". The long axis of the field is aligned with the superwind we have discovered in this starburst galaxy. The data cover the range of 3700-7000 Å, with a spectral resolution R~7000 in the red, and R~3000 in the blue. We find that the stellar component of the galaxy is strongly dominated by a fast rotating intermediate-age (~400 Myr) A-Type stellar population, while the gas is concentrated in a bi-conical polar funnel. We have generated flux distributions, emission line ratio diagnostics and velocity maps in both emission and absorption components. We interpret these in the context of a new grid of low-velocity shock models appropriate for galactic-scale outflows. These models are remarkably well fit to the data, providing for the first time model diagnostics for shocks in superwinds and strongly suggesting that shock excitation is largely responsible for the extended LINER emission in the outflowing gas in NGC 839. Our work may have important implications both for extended LINER emission seen in other galaxies, as well as in the interpretation of objects with "composite" spectra. Finally, we present a scenario for the formation of E+A galaxies based upon our observations of NGC 839, and its relation to M82.

Interplay between magnetism and superconductivity in iron-chalcogenide superconductors: crystal growth and characterizations

description: In this review, we present a summary of the results on single crystal growth of two types of iron-chalcogenide superconductors, Fe(1+y)Te(1-x)Se(x) (11), and A(x)Fe(2-y)Se(2) (A= K, Rb, Cs, Tl, Tl/K, Tl/Rb), using Bridgman, zone-melting, vapor self-transport, and flux techniques. The superconducting and magnetic properties (the latter gained mainly from neutron scattering measurements) of these materials are reviewed to demonstrate the connection between magnetism and superconductivity. It will be shown that for the 11 system, while static magnetic order around the reciprocal lattice position (0.5, 0) competes with superconductivity, spin excitations centered around (0.5, 0.5) are closely coupled to the materials' superconductivity; this is made evident by the strong correlation between the spectral weight around (0.5, 0.5) and the superconducting volume fraction. The observation of a spin resonance below the superconducting temperature, Tc, and the magnetic-field dependence of the resonance, emphasize the important role spin excitations play in the superconductivity. Generally, these results illustrate the similarities between the iron-based and cuprate superconductors. In A(x)Fe(2-y)Se(2), superconductivity with Tc ~ 30 K borders an antiferromagnetic insulating phase; this is closer to the behavior observed in the cuprates but differs from that in other iron-based superconductors.

description: A combination of synchrotron X-ray, neutron powder diffraction, magnetization, heat capacity and electrical resistivity measurements reveals that NdMnAsO is an antiferromagnetic semiconductor with large Neel temperature (TN = 359(2) K). At room temperature the magnetic propagation vector k = 0 and the Mn moments are directed along the crystallographic c-axis (mMn = 2.41(6) BM). Upon cooling a spin reorientation (SR) transition of the Mn moments into the ab-plane occurs (TSR = 23 K). This coincides with the long range ordering of the Nd moments, which are restricted to the basal plane. The magnetic propagation vector remains k = 0. At base temperature (1.6 K) the fitted moments are mab,Mn = 3.72(1) BM and mab,Nd = 1.94(1) BM. The electrical resistivity is characterized by a broad maximum at 250 K, below which it has a metallic temperature dependence but semiconducting magnitude (rho250K = 50 Ohm cm, residual resistivity ratio = 2), and a slight upturn at the SR transition.
Finite-size scaling from self-consistent theory of localization

description: Accepting validity of self-consistent theory of localization by Vollhardt and Woelfle, we derive the finite-size scaling procedure used for studies of the critical behavior in d-dimensional case and based on the use of auxiliary quasi-1D systems. The obtained scaling functions for d=2 and d=3 are in good agreement with numerical results: it signifies the absence of essential contradictions with the Vollhardt and Woelfle theory on the level of raw data. The results ν=1.3-1.6, usually obtained at d=3 for the critical exponent of the correlation length, are explained by the fact that dependence L+L_0 with L_0>0 (L is the transversal size of the system) is interpreted as L^{1/ν} with ν>1. For dimensions d\ge 4, the modified scaling relations are derived; it demonstrates incorrectness of the conventional treatment of data for d=4 and d=5, but establishes the constructive procedure for such a treatment. Consequences for other variants of finite-size scaling are discussed.

description: In revenue maximization of selling a digital product in a social network, the utility of an agent is often considered to have two parts: a private valuation, and linearly additive influences from other agents. We study the incomplete information case where agents know a common distribution about others' private valuations, and make decisions simultaneously. The "rational behavior" of agents in this case is captured by the well-known Bayesian Nash equilibrium. Two challenging questions arise: how to compute an equilibrium and how to optimize a pricing strategy accordingly to maximize the revenue assuming agents follow the equilibrium? In this paper, we mainly focus on the natural model where the private valuation of each agent is sampled from a uniform distribution, which turns out to be already challenging. Our main result is a polynomial-time algorithm that can exactly compute the equilibrium and the optimal price, when pairwise influences are non-negative. If negative influences are allowed, computing any equilibrium even approximately is PPAD-hard. Our algorithm can also be used to design an FPTAS for optimizing discriminative price profile.

description: The dynamic structures of the cubic and tetragonal phase in BaTiO3 and its dielectric response above the cubic-to-tetragonal phase transition temperature (Tp) are studied by first-principles molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. It's shown that the phase transition is due to the condensation of one of the transverse correlations. Calculation of the phonon properties for both the cubic and tetragonal phase shows a saturation of the soft mode frequency near 60 cm-1 near Tp and advocates its order-disorder nature. Our first-principles calculation leads directly to a two modes feature of the dielectric function above Tp [Phys. Rev. B 28, 6097 (1983)], which well explains the long time controversies between experiments and theories.

description: Under certain conditions we prove the existence of a steady-state transport regime for interacting mesoscopic systems coupled to reservoirs (leads). The partitioning and partition-free scenarios are treated on an equal footing. Our time-dependent scattering approach is {\it exact} and proves, among other things the independence of the steady-state quantities from the initial state of the sample. Closed formulas for the steady-state current amenable for perturbative calculations w.r.t. the interaction strength are also derived. In the partitioning case we calculate the first order correction and recover the mean-field (Hartree-Fock) results.

description: The IceCube Neutrino Observatory, situated at the South Pole within a cubic kilometer of underground ice, is a state-of-the-art experiment for detecting particles of high energies, with a special focus on investigating neutrino physics. The neutrino flux can be divided into three distinct components: astrophysical, originating from extraterrestrial sources; conventional, arising from the decay of pions and kaons in atmospheric cosmic ray cascades; and the prompt component, which has yet to be detected and stems from the decay of charmed hadrons. This study aims to reconstruct the total flux of neutrinos at Earth and places a particular emphasis on examining the predicted angular dependence. Unfolding encompasses a collection of techniques that aim to determine a quantity in a manner independent of specific assumptions, thereby removing the influence of various assumptions made during the process. In this analysis, the energy spectrum of muon neutrinos is unfolded with the employment of an innovative technique for reshaping the observable space to ensure an adequate number of events in the low statistic region at the highest energies. This work presents the unfolded energy and zenith angle spectrum reconstructed from eleven years of IceCube data in the range from 500 GeV to 4 PeV energies, and compares the findings with both model predictions and previous measurements.

Der Neutrinofluss kann in drei verschiedene Komponenten unterteilt werden: astrophysikalische Neutrinos aus extraterrestrischen Quellen; konventionelle Neutrinos, aus dem Zerfall von Pionen und Kaonen in atmosphärischen Luftschauern; und prompte Neutrinos, die noch nicht gemessen wurden, aber aus dem Zerfall von Hadronen aus Charm-Quarks erwartet werden. Diese Studie zielt darauf ab, den Gesamtfluss der Neutrinos auf der Erde zu rekonstruieren, und legt einen besonderen Schwerpunkt auf die Untersuchung der vorhergesagten Winkelabhängigkeit. Die Entfaltung umfasst eine Reihe von Techniken, die darauf abzielen, eine physikalische Größe modellunabhängig zu bestimmen. In dieser Analyse wird das Energiespektrum von Myon-Neutrinos mit Hilfe einer innovativen Technik zur Umformung des beobachtbaren Raums entfaltet, um eine angemessene Anzahl von Ereignissen im Bereich der niedrigen Statistik bei den höchsten Energien sicherzustellen. Diese Arbeit präsentiert das ungefaltete Energie- und Zenitwinkelspektrum, das aus elf Jahren IceCube-Daten im Energiebereich von 500 GeV bis 4 PeV rekonstruiert wurde, und vergleicht die Ergebnisse sowohl mit Modellvorhersagen als auch mit früheren Messungen.

description: We conduct a study of holographic RG flows whose UV is a theory in 2+1 dimensions decoupled from gravity, and the IR is the N=6,8 superconformal fixed point of ABJM. The solutions we consider are constructed by warping the M-theory background whose eight spatial dimensions are manifolds of special holonomies sp(1) times sp(1) and spin(7). Our main example for the spin(7) holonomy manifold is the A8 geometry originally constructed by Cvetic, Gibbons, Lu, and Pope. On the gravity side, our constructions generalize the earlier construction of RG flow where the UV was N=3 Yang-Mills-Chern-Simons matter system and are simpler in a number of ways. Through careful consideration of Page, Maxwell, and brane charges, we identify the discrete and continuous parameters characterizing each system. We then determine the range of the discrete data, corresponding to the flux/rank for which the supersymmetry is unbroken, and estimate the dynamical supersymmetry breaking scale as a function of these data. We then point out the similarity between the physics of supersymmetry breaking between our system and the system considered by Maldacena and Nastase. We also describe the condition for unbroken supersymmetry on class of construction based on a different class of spin(7) manifolds known as B8 spaces whose IR is different from that of ABJM and exhibit some interesting features.

A Ginsparg-Wilson approach to lattice $\mathcal{CP}$ symmetry
Creators: name: Cundy, Nigel

Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Lattice (hep-lat)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: There is a long standing challenge in lattice QCD concerning the relationship between $\mathcal{CP}$-symmetry and lattice chiral symmetry: naïvely the chiral symmetry transformations are not invariant under $\mathcal{CP}$. With results similar to a recent work by Igarashi and Pawlowski, I show that this is because charge conjugation symmetry has been incorrectly realised on the lattice. The naive approach, to directly use the continuum charge conjugation relations on the lattice, fails because the renormalisation group blockings required to construct a doubler free lattice theory from the continuum are not invariant under charge conjugation. Correctly taking into account the transformation of these blockings leads to a modified lattice $\mathcal{CP}$ symmetry for the fermion fields, which, for gauge field configurations with trivial topology, has a smooth limit to continuum $\mathcal{CP}$ as the lattice spacing tends to zero. After constructing $\mathcal{CP}$ transformations for one particular group of lattice chiral symmetries, I construct a lattice chiral gauge theory which is $\mathcal{CP}$ invariant and whose measure is invariant under gauge transformations and $\mathcal{CP}$.

Polycrystalline samples of helium of either high isotopic purity or natural concentration of $^3$He were grown in an annular container by the blocked-capillary method and investigated before and after annealing. No correlation has been found between the magnitude of the low-temperature shift of the torsional oscillator frequency and the amount of crystalline defects as measured by the thermal conductivity. In samples with the natural $^3$He concentration a substantial excess thermal conductivity over the usual $T^3$ dependence was observed below 120 mK.

Identification of a novel subtype of endometrial cancer with unfavorable outcome using artificial intelligence-based histopathology image analysis
Creators: name: Darbandsari, Amirali
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Background: In contrast to histopathological assessment, molecular subtyping of Endometrial Cancer (EC) provides a reproducible classification system with significant prognostic value. Proactive Molecular Risk Classifier for Endometrial Cancer (ProMisE) was developed as a practical, cost-efficient, and therapeutically beneficial molecular classifier, replacing complex genomic tests. ProMisE stratifies EC into four subtypes: (1) POLE mutant, (2) Mismatch repair deficient, (3) p53 abnormal (p53abn) by immunohistochemistry, and (4) No Specific Molecular Profile (NSMP), which lacks any of the distinguishing features of the other three subtypes. Although ProMisE has provided significant prognostic value, there are clinical outliers within its four subtypes. This is especially evident in the largest ProMisE subtype, NSMP, accounting for about half of all ECs, where a fraction of patients encounter a very aggressive disease course, similar to the behavior of patients diagnosed with p53abn. Method: We considered the problem of refining the EC NSMP subtype using ubiquitous histopathology images. We hypothesized that evaluating the digital hematoxylin and eosin-stained images of NSMP could discern clinical outcome outliers. To this end, we designed an image analysis framework utilizing Artificial Intelligence (AI) to detect NSMP patients with comparable histological characteristics to the p53abn subtype. The analysis included various preprocessing steps, deep neural networks classifying the subtype of images, and survival and genomic analyses. Finding: Exploiting an AI-based methodology, we have expanded the NSMP subtype into two subgroups: ‘p53abn-like’ NSMPs and the rest of the NSMP cases. The former consists of patients diagnosed with NSMP by ProMisE, yet our AI-based analysis labeled them as p53abn due to morphological similarities. With following similar trends in two independent datasets, ‘p53abn-like’ NSMPs displayed comparable clinical behavior to p53abn, where they had markedly unfavorable outcomes in comparison with the remainder of the NSMP cases. In addition, the extensive genomic analysis suggested that ‘p53abn- like’ NSMPs had significantly higher fractions of genome altered than NSMPs in both datasets, validating our initial hypothesis in a different domain of data. We also discovered that ‘p53abn-like’ NSMPs patients might not benefit from hormone therapy. These findings emphasize the potential of AI screening as a stratification tool within ProMisE.

INSPIRE is a novel, group-based intervention that builds on Small Changes by focusing to a greater extent on psychological factors that may be working in opposition of an individual’s weight management goals. INSPIRE draws upon evidence-based techniques from self-compassion and positive psychology. The primary aim of the present study was to determine the feasibility, acceptability, and efficacy of INSPIRE for change in weight and subjective well-being outcomes compared to the original Small Changes program. Fifty-eight treatment-seeking female community members with obesity (Mean BMI = 34.47; SD = 3.40; Mean age = 52, SD = 9.00) were randomly assigned to either INSPIRE or Small Changes. The primary outcome was change in weight and secondary outcomes pertained to changes in subjective well-being and self-compassion. Outcomes were measured at baseline, post-treatment (3 months), and after an additional 3-month follow-up period that included bi-weekly contact with participants (6 months). The INSPIRE program demonstrated feasibility (assessed by attendance and homework completion) and acceptability (assessed by mean ratings of utility and likelihood of continued use). The INSPIRE and Small Changes groups showed significant declines in weight across the 6 months. However, fitted trajectories suggested that the INSPIRE group had a faster rate of linear change while the Small Changes group had a faster rate of quadratic change. Similarly, intervention type was a significant predictor of change in life satisfaction but did not predict change in positive affect, negative affect, or self-compassion. Positive affect, negative affect, and self-compassion were significant predictors of change in weight across the observation period. Currently, behavioral interventions for weight management pay little regard to subjective well-being and instead focus on changes to nutrition and physical activity. The present study demonstrates the importance of addressing subjective well-being in behavioural health interventions to improve treatment outcomes.

description: Suppose Alice wishes to send messages to Bob through a communication channel C_1, but her transmissions also reach an eavesdropper Eve through another channel C_2. The goal is to design a coding scheme that makes it possible for Alice to communicate both reliably and securely. Reliability is measured in terms of Bob's probability of error in recovering the message, while security is measured in terms of the mutual information between the message and Eve's observations. Wyner showed that the situation is characterized by a single constant C_s, called the secrecy capacity, which has the following meaning: for all $ε> 0$, there exist coding schemes of rate $R \ge C_s - ε$ that asymptotically achieve both the reliability and the security objectives. However, his proof of this result is based upon a nonconstructive random-coding argument. To date, despite a considerable research effort, the only case where we know how to construct coding schemes that achieve secrecy capacity is when Eve's channel C_2 is an erasure channel, or a combinatorial variation thereof. Polar codes were recently invented by Arikan; they approach the capacity of symmetric binary-input discrete memoryless channels with low encoding and decoding complexity. Herein, we use polar codes to construct a coding scheme that achieves the secrecy capacity of general wiretap channels. Our construction works for any instantiation of the wiretap channel model, as originally defined by Wyner, as long as both C_1 and C_2 are symmetric and binary-input. Moreover, we show how to modify our construction in order to achieve strong security, as defined by Maurer, while still operating at a rate that approaches the secrecy capacity. In this case, we cannot guarantee that the reliability condition will be satisfied unless the main channel C_1 is noiseless, although we believe it can be always satisfied in practice.

description: A numerical procedure is presented for mapping the vicinity of the null-space of the spin relaxation superoperator. The states populating this space, i.e. those with near-zero eigenvalues, of which the two-spin singlet is a well-studied example, are long-lived compared to the conventional T1 and T2 spin-relaxation times. The analysis of larger spin systems described herein reveals the presence of a significant number of other slowly relaxing states. A study of coupling topologies for n-spin systems (n = 4 - 8) suggests the symmetry requirements for maximising the number of long-lived states.

description: Several recent experiments have demonstrated the viability of a passive device that can generate spin-entangled currents in two separate leads. However, manipulation and measurement of individual flying qubits in a solid state system has yet to be achieved. This is particularly difficult when a macroscopic number of these indistinguishable qubits are present. In order to access such an entangled current resource, we therefore show how to use it to generate distributed, static entanglement. The spatial separation between the entangled static pair can be much higher than that achieved by only exploiting the tunnelling effects between quantum dots. Our device is completely passive, and requires only weak Coulomb interactions between static and flying spins. We show that the entanglement generated is robust to decoherence for large enough currents.

description: We prove a function field analogue of the Herbrand-Ribet theorem on cyclotomic number fields. The Herbrand-Ribet theorem can be interpreted as a result about cohomology with $μ_p$-coefficients over the splitting field of $μ_p$, and in our analogue both occurrences of $μ_p$ are replaced with the $\mathfrak{p}$-torsion scheme of the Carlitz module for a prime $\mathfrak{p}$ in $\F_q[t]$.
