description: We define a complete set of supertraces on the algebra $SH_N(ν)$, the algebra of observables of the $N$-body rational Calogero model with harmonic interaction. This result extends the previously known results for the simplest cases of $N=1$ and $N=2$ to arbitrary $N$. It is shown that $SH_N(ν)$ admits $q(N)$ independent supertraces where $q(N)$ is a number of partitions of $N$ into a sum of odd positive integers, so that $q(N)>1$ for $N\ge 3$. Some consequences of the existence of several independent supertraces of $SH_N (ν)$ are discussed such as the existence of ideals in associated $W_{\infty}$ - type Lie superalgebras.

description: We present Most, a process language with message-observing session types. Message-observing session types extend binary session types with type-level computation to specify communication protocols that vary based on messages observed on other channels. Hence, Most allows us to express global invariants about processes, rather than just local invariants, in a bottom-up, compositional way. We give Most a semantic foundation using traces with binding, a semantic approach for compositionally reasoning about traces in the presence of name generation. We use this semantics to prove type soundness and compositionality for Most processes. We see this as a significant step towards capturing message-dependencies and providing more precise guarantees about processes.

Image-Based Reconstruction and Visual Hull from Imprecise Input
Creators: name: He, Peng
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2012

description: Image-based reconstruction is a series of computer vision processes which takes 2D images of the scene as input and outputs the geometric shape approximate of the scene. It has vast applications in industrial design, manufacture, gaming, filming, heritage protection and many other areas. The visual hull of a polyhedral (or polygonal) scene in R3 (or R2) is the best 3D (or 2D) shape that one can retrieve from its silhouettes. It has great advantage in obstacle avoidance, robotic navigation, 3D model acquisition and human motion tracking. A 3D visual hull is bounded by planes and quadratic surfaces. Classical image-based reconstruction and visual hull methods fail to maintain the exactness and robustness when the input is imprecise. In the solid domain of 3D objects in R3, geometric shapes with imprecision are well modelled and carefully studied. Each partial geometric object is defined by two disjoint open sets : interior and exterior. The interior (respectively, exterior) is an open set that contains all the points definitely known to be inside (respectively, outside) the object. Partial objects, ordered with subset inclusion, form a continuous Scott domain in which each object approximates the target object at a certain level of precision. We study the image-based reconstruction and visual hull in the solid domain which allows the notion of the partial polyhedron and the partial visual hull. They capture the imprecision in the input polyhedral scenes and outputs the exact information about what points are definitely inside or outside the reconstructed scene and the visual hull. The partial image-based reconstruction and the partial visual hull algorithm maintain the same computational complexity as the corresponding classical methods. The outputs of the algorithms are partial objects or partial visual hulls which converge to their classical counterparts as the input converges to an exact value. For the image-based reconstruction and the 2D visual hull, we show that their construction processes with imprecise input are Hausdro and the Scott continuity. For the 3D visual hull algorithm, we show its Hausdro and the Scott continuity of the domain-theoretic construction in the Solid domain of the projective 3 space P3. Furthermore, we prove the computability of the image-based reconstruction, the 2D and the 3D visual hull.
Rotation curves of UMa galaxies in the context of modified Newtonian dynamics

description: This is the third in a series of papers in which spiral galaxy rotation curves are considered in the context of Milgrom's modified dynamics (MOND). The present sample of 30 objects is drawn from a complete sample of galaxies in the Ursa Major cluster with photometric data by Tully et al. (1996) and 21 cm line data by Verheijen (1997). The galaxies are roughly all at the same distance (15 to 16 Mpc). The radio observations are made with the Westerbork Synthesis Array which means that the linear resolution of all rotation curves is comparable. The greatest advantage of this sample is the existance of K'-band surface photometry for all galaxies; the near-infrared emission, being relatively free of the effects of dust absorption and less sensitive to recent star formation, is a more precise tracer of the mean radial distribution of the dominant stellar population. The predicted rotation curves are calculated from the K'-band surface photometry and the observed distribution of neutral hydrogen using the simple MOND prescription where the one adjustable parameter is the mass of the stellar disk or the implied mass-to-light ratio. The predicted rotation curves generally agree with the observed curves and the mean M/L in the near-infrared is about 0.9 with a small dispersion. The fitted M/L in the B-band is correlated with B-V color in the sense predicted by population synthesis models. Including earlier work, about 80 galaxy rotation curves are now well-reproduced from the observed distribution of detectable matter using the MOND formula to calculate the gravitational acceleration; this lends considerable observational support to Milgrom's unconventional hypothesis.

description: A search for Supersymmetry signals with Same-Sign Dileptons in the final state at the Large Hadron Collider is presented. The results are based on 976 pb-1 of pp collision data recorded by the Compact Muon Solenoid experiment at 7 TeV centre of mass energy. The analysis strategy for channels including a hadronically decaying τ (eτ, µτ, ττ ) is discussed in detail. The numbers of observed events are compatible with the expectation from Standard Model processes in all the considered channels with a total of 2.9 ± 1.7 predicted and 3 observed. An Upper Limit of total observed events from New Physics is extracted at the 95% Confidence Level and is equal to 5.8. The results are interpreted in the Constrained Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model and a simplified Supersymmetry model favouring τ channels characterised by [Mathematical formula appears here. To view, please open pdf attachment]. A lower limit of 400 GeV on the gluino mass is set in the simplified model for neutralino masses up to 350 GeV, with the exception of the region around mğ ≈ mLSP. This exclusion extends to gluino masses of up to 620 GeV for neutralino masses of less than 100 GeV.
Stable partially substituted silicon clusters from functional disilenes and homo- and heterocyclic silanes
Creators: name: Abersfelder, Kai Helmut
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2012

description: Disilenides, i.e. disila analogues of vinyl anions as an example for functionalized disilenes, are well-suited to transfer a Si-Si double bond moiety to a broad variety of organic and inorganic substrates. During this project different aspects of disilenide reactivity were investigated. On the one hand, the stable disilenes thus obtained allow the study of the properties of unsymmetrically substituted Si-Si double bonds. Examples synthesisied during this project include silyl- and stannyl substituted disilenes. In particular, the relatively weak Si-Sn bond may be useful for further functionalisation. On the other hand, the high tendency of the Si-Si double bond towards rearrangements into saturated structures was used for the preparation of otherwise inaccessible (multi)functional homonuclear silicon rings, which turned out to be well-suited precursors for the synthesis of partially substituted molecular silicon clusters. The main part of this thesis focuses on such metalloid silicon cluster compounds. Metalloid clusters are compounds which contain one element in different oxidation states with an average oxidation state between 0 and 1 and can be regarded as intermediate species between organometallic molecules and the elemental state. In particular, silicon derivatives are of interest as similar species are assumed intermediates in gas phase deposition techniques and furthermore band-gap determining constituents of amorphous silicon modifications produced via these techniques. The stable compounds that were obtained and fully characterised include an aromatic tricyclic isomer of hexasilabenzene and a bridged persilapropellane, which turned out to be a substituted derivative of the global minimum on the potential energy surface of Si6H6. Both compounds show the rare structural feature of unsubstituted cluster vertices. Reactivity studies on these clusters were carried out including the stepwise halogeneration, reduction and reaction with organometallic reagents. From the reaction with halogenating agents functionalised silicon clusters were obtained.

Towards constructive nonlinear control systems analysis and design
Creators: name: Sassano, Mario
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2012

description: This work presents a novel method to solve analysis and design problems for nonlinear control systems, the classical solutions of which rely on the solvability, or on the solution itself, of partial differential equations or inequalities. The first part of the thesis is dedicated to the analysis of nonlinear systems. The notion of Dynamic Lyapunov function is introduced. These functions allow to study stability properties of equilibrium points, similarly to standard Lyapunov functions. In the former, however, a positive definite function is combined with a dynamical system that render Dynamic Lyapunov functions easier to construct than Lyapunov functions. These ideas are then extended to characterize Dynamic Controllability and Observability functions, which are exploited in the model reduction problem for nonlinear systems. Constructive solutions to the L2-disturbance attenuation and the optimal control problems are proposed in the second part of the thesis. The key aspect of these solutions is the definition of Dynamic Value functions that, generalizing Dynamic Lyapunov functions, consist of a dynamical feedback and a positive definite function. In the last part of the thesis a similar approach is utilized to simplify the observer design problem via the Immersion and Invariance technique. Finally, the effectiveness of the methodologies is illustrated by means of several applications, including range estimation and the optimal robust control of mechanical systems, combustion engine test benches and the air path of a diesel engine.

description: Access control is a crucial part of a system's security, restricting what actions users can perform on resources. Therefore, access control is a core component when dealing with e-Health data and resources, discriminating which is available for a certain party. We consider that current systems that attempt to assure the share of policies between facilities are prone to system's and network's faults and do not assure the integrity of policies lifecycle. By approaching this problem with the use of a distributed ledger, namely a consortium blockchain, where the operations are stored as transactions, we ensure that the different facilities have knowledge about all the parties that can act over the e-Health resources while maintaining integrity, auditability, authenticity, and scalability.

Behaviour of high Mach number boundary layers with sudden pressure gradient changes
Creators: name: Luthman, Elizabeth
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2012

description: Hypersonic airbreathing propulsion has been under research since the mid 1960s and will continue to be of interest as the imperative for cheaper, safer and more reliable access to space grows. As such, the compression of high Mach number boundary layers in scramjet intakes is an ongoing field of interest. Even at high Mach numbers, laminar boundary layers under constant conditions are well understood and well represented theoretically. Abrupt changes in pressure gradient, whether from geometry or incident shock waves, cause significant deviation from these theories. This thesis sets out to explore this modification. The chosen, computational investigation used the change between zero and adverse linear constant pressure gradient flows with the computational geometry consisting of a flat plate section and a compression curve. The computations covered a range of adverse pressure gradients [Mathematical equation appears here. To view, please open pdf attachment], Reynolds numbers (Re[Cartesian streamwise distance (m)]0 = 87500 to 90000000) and Mach numbers (4 to 8). The effect of pressure gradient, Reynolds number and Mach number on the equilibrium or non-equilibrium change between pressure gradients was investigated. It was observed that flows of this type can be divided into three sections: a fully developed zero pressure gradient flow, a fully developed adverse pressure gradient flow and an interaction region between the two. The stronger the pressure gradient, the more non-equilibrium the response of the boundary layer to the change in pressure became. Inertial forces came to dominate in the interaction region and viscous effects only reasserted themselves further downstream. This was illustrated by the significant transverse variations in pressure occurring in this interaction region. The investigation is extended to turbulent boundary layers modelled using the Baldwin- Lomax turbulence model.

description: Large urban communication networks such as smart cities are an ecosystem of devices and services cooperating to address multiple issues that greatly benefit end users, cities and the environment. LinkNYC is a first-of-its-kind urban communications network aiming to replace all payphones in the five boroughs of New York City (NYC) with kiosk-like structures providing free public Wi-Fi. We consolidate these networks with standalone edge cloud devices known as cloudlets and introduce geographically distributed content delivery cloudlets (CDCs) to store popular Internet content closer to end users; essential in environments with diverse and dynamic content interests. A content-centric and delivery framework is proposed leveraging NYC's population densities and CDCs for interest-based in-network caching. Analysis shows that although the adoption of multiple CDCs dramatically improves overall network performance, advanced caching policies are needed when considering increased content heterogeneity. Thus, we propose popularity-driven (pLFU) and cooperation-based (sLFU) caching policies at individual CDCs to account for user and content dynamics over time. The amalgamation of urban population densities, multiple CDC placements and smarter caching techniques help exploit the ultimate benefits of a content-centric urban communications network and dramatically improves overall network performance and responsiveness. Our proposed solutions are validated using LinkNYC as a use-case.

Optimal control and robust estimation for ocean wave energy converters
Creators: name: Abraham, Edo
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: This thesis deals with the optimal control of wave energy converters and some associated observer design problems. The first part of the thesis will investigate model predictive control of an ocean wave energy converter to maximize extracted power. A generic heaving converter that can have both linear dampers and active elements as a power take-off system is considered and an efficient optimal control algorithm is developed for use within a receding horizon control framework. The optimal control is also characterized analytically. A direct transcription of the optimal control problem is also considered as a general nonlinear program. A variation of the projected gradient optimization scheme is formulated and shown to be feasible and computationally inexpensive compared to a standard nonlinear program solver. Since the system model is bilinear and the cost function is not convex quadratic, the resulting optimization problem is shown not to be a quadratic program. Results are compared with other methods like optimal latching to demonstrate the improvement in absorbed power under irregular sea condition simulations. In the second part, robust estimation of the radiation forces and states inherent in the optimal control of wave energy converters is considered. Motivated by this, low order H∞ observer design for bilinear systems with input constraints is investigated and numerically tractable methods for design are developed. A bilinear Luenberger type observer is formulated and the resulting synthesis problem reformulated as that for a linear parameter varying system. A bilinear matrix inequality problem is then solved to find nominal and robust quadratically stable observers. The performance of these observers is compared with that of an extended Kalman filter. The robustness of the observers to parameter uncertainty and to variation in the radiation subsystem model order is also investigated. This thesis also explores the numerical integration of bilinear control systems with zero-order hold on the control inputs. Making use of exponential integrators, exact to high accuracy integration is proposed for such systems. New a priori bounds are derived on the computational complexity of integrating bilinear systems with a given error tolerance. Employing our new bounds on computational complexity, we propose a direct exponential integrator to solve bilinear ODEs via the solution of sparse linear systems of equations. Based on this, a novel sparse direct collocation of bilinear systems for optimal control is proposed. These integration schemes are also used within the indirect optimal control method discussed in the first part.

description: In this interview, Otha Williams discusses his life with a focus on his drug use. He reviews his long and successful dancing career from performing in the 1929 film Hallelujah, to training at Sadie and Mary Bruce's dance schools in Chicago, to performing in nightclubs across the country including the Town Club in Cicero, Illinois, Zombie in Detroit, Michigan, and the Cotton Club in Cincinnati, Ohio. Williams describes the milieu of entertainers in Chicago in the 1930s. He describes how he began casually using heroin in 1935, and how he became addicted in 1946. He describes his experiences selling heroin, including managing a sophisticated drug trafficking operation under the leadership of Al Capone in Chicago in the 1930s. Williams estimates his salary as a dancer in the 1930s, and compares it to his drug expenses. He discusses different hypotheses for why many Black performers used heroin in the early to mid-twentieth century. He discusses the change in price and public perception of marijuana post-criminalization in the 1930s. He compares the price of heroin between different U.S. cities. He discusses touring Europe and the South Pacific as a dancer with the United Service Organizations during World War II. Williams compares the quality and price of heroin before and after World War II. He reviews his arrest record, describing his six arrests for mostly drug related charges, and his rough total of two years incarcerated. He describes substituting morphine and Dilaudid prescriptions for heroin when the drug was scarce or too expensive, and his few experiences with opium. He compares heroin users in his generation to users in the 1980s. Williams discusses his attempts to detox from heroin, both independently and at the Morris J. Bernstein Institute in the 1960s. He discusses joining a methadone program in 1972
title: Polish foreign policy between east and west, 1989-2004

Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2007

description: After Poland assumed a pro-Western orientation following the end of the communist regime in 1989, its immediate foreign policy goals became to join NATO and the EU, the importance of Poland's relations with the newly emerging states in the ex-Soviet region lagged behind in the foreign policy agenda. While there was political consensus among the policy making elite and the populace about Poland's integration into Western structures and necessary resources and efforts were channelled to this end, challenges posed by the transformation in Poland's East was dealt with in a piecemeal fashion, devoid of a coherent conceptual Eastern policy framework and a strong institutional backing. However, as Poland's prospects of joining NATO and the EU became more secure. Eastern policy was increasingly debated in intellectual and academic circles and foreign policy makers searched for a more structured and robust response to the challenges brought about by relations with Poland's Eastern neighbours. Poland's Eastern policy has progressed since the early 1990s when its existence was doubted and became an important dimension of Poland's foreign policy and after joining the EU in 2004, Polish policy makers even contemplated how Poland's Eastern policy could influence and even shape the EU's relations with its Eastern neighbours. This study investigates the factors that contributed to the formation of an Eastern policy concept and domestic and international determinants that shaped Poland's relations with its Eastern neighbours. It presents how Polish foreign policy responded to a changing regional and international environment and gives an account of Poland's accession process to NATO and the EU and concurrent development of relations with the Eastern neighbours. It explores the legal framework and institutions that take part in foreign policy making and execution and offers an analysis of 20th century historical currents and intellectual and academic debates on EP. Poland's bilateral relations with Russia, Ukraine and Belarus constitute the main case studies where the impact on relations of domestic political discourses in Poland, the EU and NATO enlargement, economic and investment links, regional energy politics and the role of minorities and historical heritage are examined. As well as extensive primary and secondary sources, the study utilises in-depth interviews with high level Polish policy makers, academics and businessmen undertaken during fieldwork in Poland.

description: Tensions between cosmological measurements by different surveys or probes have always been important --- and are presently much discussed --- as they may lead to evidence of new physics. Several tests have been devised to probe the consistency of datasets given a cosmological model, but they often have undesired features such as dependence on the prior volume, or burdensome requirements such as that of near-Gaussian posterior distributions. We propose a new quantity, defined in a similar way as the Bayesian evidence ratio, in which these undesired properties are absent. We test the quantity on simple models with Gaussian and non-Gaussian likelihoods. We then apply it to data from the Planck satellite: we investigate the consistency of $Λ$CDM model parameters obtained from TT and EE angular power spectrum measurements, as well as the mutual consistency of cosmological parameters obtained from large scale (multipoles, $\ell<1000$) and small scale ($\ell \geq 1000$) portions of each measurement and find no significant discrepancy in the six-dimensional $Λ$CDM parameter space.

These sigma models typically admit 1/2 supersymmetric domain wall solutions and we find, for a particular hyper-Kähler target, exact 1/4 supersymmetric static solutions representing a non-trivial intersection of two domain walls. We also show that the intersecting domain walls can carry Noether charge while preserving 1/4 supersymmetry. We briefly discuss an application to the D1-D5 brane system.

description: Protons accelerated to high energies in the relativistic shocks that generate gamma ray bursts photoproduce pions, and then neutrinos in situ. I show that ultra high energy neutrinos (> 10^19 eV) are produced during the burst and the afterglow. A larger flux, also from bursts, is generated via photoproduction off CMBR photons in flight but is not correlated with currently observable bursts, appearing as a bright background. Adiabatic/synchrotron losses from protons/pions/muons are negligible. Temporal and directional coincidences with bursts detected by satellites can separate correlated neutrinos from the background.

description: We study supersymmetric domain walls in N=1 SU(N) gauge theory with 3 massive adjoint representation chiral multiplets. This theory, known as N=1^*, can be obtained as a massive deformation of N=4 Yang-Mills theory. Following Polchinski and Strassler, we consider the string dual of this theory in terms of spherical 5-branes and construct BPS domain walls interpolating between the many vacua. We compare our results to field theoretic domain walls and also find that this work is related to the physics of expanded ``dielectric'' branes near zero radius.

Bayesian biclustering algorithms and their application to gene expression data
Creators: name: Fowler, Anna
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: Biclustering identifies subsets of rows and columns of a data matrix which are similar, revealing an underlying structure which may be obscured when clustering either rows or columns independently. Gene expression data sets typically contain measurements from thousands of genes for a comparatively small number of samples, or time points. Therefore, biclustering models and algorithms need to be robust to imbalanced dimensions if they are to be effectively applied to gene expression data. In this thesis, we develop biclustering algorithms for application to gene expression data. A novel, agglomerative biclustering algorithm for application to a data matrix containing observations from a far larger number of genes than samples is introduced. Variable selection is included in this algorithm, allowing sample clusters to be based on only the discriminating gene clusters. This algorithm is developed to ensure a fast computation time and the effect of having a far larger number of genes than samples is examined. Dynamic clusters which split and merge over time are introduced for time series data; these allow cluster memberships to be time dependent, forming biclusters of genes or samples and time points. Reversible Jump MCMC methods are used to identify these clusters, and alternative proposal schemes are considered to improve acceptance rates and overall performance of the algorithm. Combining these two ideas produces biclusters of genes and samples which split and merge over time, identifying co-regulated subsets of genes, samples and time points.
Measurement of the electron charge asymmetry in inclusive W production in pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV in the CMS experiment.
Creators: name: Jarvis, Martyn
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: In this thesis, two measurements of the electron charge asymmetry in inclusive W boson production with the CMS detector are presented. The measurements are obtained from proton-proton collision data with sqrt(s) = 7 TeV. The first measurement is performed with data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36 pb-1 collected by the CMS detector in 2010 and the second one uses data corresponding to 840 pb-1 collected during the first half of 2011. In proton-proton collisions, more W+ bosons are produced relative to W- due to the prevalence of up-type quarks with respect to down-type valence quarks in the proton. A measurement of this asymmetry as a function of the boson rapidity can provide valuable information on the u/d ratio within the proton. Since the boson rapidity cannot be directly measured due to the longitudinal momentum carried by the undetected neutrino, the asymmetry is measured as a function of the pseudorapidity of the charged lepton, in this case the electron, from the W decay. In both measurements, events are selected by requiring a single electron with tight selection criteria on quality of identification and measurement of the energy of the electron. The signal yield is extracted using extended maximum likelihood fits to the missing transverse energy spectrum using a set of reference template shapes for the signal, electroweak background and QCD background. The templates are obtained using Monte Carlo simulation, corrected with information from collision data events (for the signal and electroweak backgrounds), and a control sample of events obtained from an inverted selection (for the QCD background). In the first measurement the charge asymmetry is measured in 6 bins of the absolute value of the electron’s pseudorapidity and compared with predictions from theory. The statistical error ranges from 0.006 to 0.010. The increased amount of data in the second measurement allows the results to be presented in 11 bins of the absolute value of the electron’s pseudorapidity. The statistical error has been reduced and ranges from 0.003 to 0.004 and the global error is in the range 0.006 to 0.014.

description: We show that the monopole scalar charge of black holes in Einstein--Maxwell--dilaton theory is proportional to the electric potential at the event horizon, with a proportionality factor given by (minus) the scalar coupling constant. We also show that the scalar charge, in the weak electric charge limit, does not depend on the black hole spin. This result can be very useful to circumvent spin degeneracy issues when testing the theory against gravitational waves observations.

Poisson-Lie T-duality and Loop Groups of Drinfeld Doubles

description: A duality invariant first order action is constructed on the loop group of a Drinfeld double. It gives at the same time the description of both of the pair of $σ$-models related by Poisson-Lie T-duality. Remarkably, the action contains a WZW-term on the Drinfeld double not only for conformally invariant $\si$-models. The resulting actions of the models from the dual pair differ just by a total derivative corresponding to an ambiguity in specifying a two-form whose exterior derivative is the WZW three-form. This total derivative is nothing but the Semenov-Tian-Shansky symplectic form on the Drinfeld double and it gives directly a generating function of the canonical transformation relating the $\si$-models from the dual pair.

Parabolic equation in time and space dependent anisotropic Musielak-Orlicz spaces in absence of Lavrentiev's phenomenon

description: We study a general nonlinear parabolic equation on a Lipschitz bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^N$, \begin{equation*} \left\{\begin{array}{l l} \partial_t u-\mathrm{div} A(t,x,\nabla u)= f(t,x)&\text{in}\ \ Ω_T,\\ u(t,x)=0 &\ \mathrm{ on} \ (0,T)\times\partialΩ,\\ u(0,x)=u_0(x)&\text{in}\ Ω, \end{array}\right. \end{equation*} with $f\in L^\infty(Ω_T)$ and $u_0\in L^\infty(Ω)$. The growth of the monotone vector field $A$ is controlled by a generalized fully anisotropic $N$-function $M:[0,T)\timesΩ\times\mathbb{R}^N\to[0,\infty)$ inhomogeneous in time and space, and under no growth restrictions on the last variable. It results in the need of the integration by parts formula which has to be formulated in an advanced way. Existence and uniqueness of solutions are proven when the Musielak-Orlicz space is reflexive OR in absence of Lavrentiev's phenomenon. To ensure approximation properties of the space we impose natural assumption that the asymptotic behaviour of the modular function is sufficiently balanced. Its instances are log-Hölder continuity of variable exponent or optimal closeness condition for powers in double phase spaces. The noticeable challenge of this paper is cosidering the problem in non-reflexive and inhomogeneous fully anisotropic space that changes along time.

title: Estimating Xtop lattice artifacts from flowed SU(2) calorons

Publisher: name: Springer
Year: 2022

description: Lattice computations of the high-temperature topological susceptibility of QCD receive lattice-spacing corrections and suffer from systematics arising from the type and depth of gradient flow. We study the lattice spacing corrections to Xtop semi-analytically by exploring the behavior of discretized Harrington–Shepard calorons under the action of different forms of gradient flow. From our study we conclude that Nτ = 6 is definitely too small of a time extent to study the theory at temperatures of order 4 Tc and we explore how the amount of gradient flow influences the continuum extrapolation.

The origin of kinematically distinct cores and misaligned gas discs in galaxies from cosmological simulations

description: Integral field spectroscopy surveys provide spatially resolved gas and stellar kinematics of galaxies. They have unveiled a range of atypical kinematic phenomena, which require detailed modelling to understand. We present results from a cosmological simulation that includes stellar and AGN feedback. We find that the distribution of angles between the gas and stellar angular momenta of galaxies is not affected by projection effects. We examine five galaxies ($\approx 6$ per cent of well resolved galaxies) that display atypical kinematics; two of the galaxies have kinematically distinct cores (KDC), while the other three have counter-rotating gas and stars. All five form the majority of their stars in the field, subsequently falling into cosmological filaments where the relative orientation of the stellar angular momentum and the bulk gas flow leads to the formation of a counter-rotating gas disc. The accreted gas exchanges angular momentum with pre-existing co-rotating gas causing it to fall to the centre of the galaxy. This triggers low-level AGN feedback, which reduces star formation. Later, two of the galaxies experience a minor merger (stellar mass ratio $\sim1/10$) with a galaxy on a retrograde orbit compared to the spin of the stellar component of the primary. This produces the KDCs, and is a different mechanism than suggested by other works. The role of minor mergers in the kinematic evolution of galaxies may have been under-appreciated in the past, and large, high-resolution cosmological simulations will be necessary to gain a better understanding in this area.

Non-BPS D-branes and enhanced symmetry in an asymmetric orbifold
Creators: name: Gutperle, Michael
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this paper properties of D branes in a nine dimensional asymmetric orbifold are discussed, using a $(-1)^{F_L}σ_{1/2}$ projection, where $F_L$ is the leftmoving space-time fermion number and $σ_{1/2}$ is a freely acting shift of order two. There are two types of non BPS D branes, which are stable at $R>2$ and $R<2$ respectively. At R=2 there is a perturbative enhancement of gauge symmetry and the two types of branes are related by a global bulk symmetry transformation. At this point in the moduli space the associated boundary states are constructed using a free fermion representation of the theory. Some aspects of the enhancement of gauge symmetry in the S-dual type $\tilde I$ theory are discussed.
