Laplacian Abelian Projection: Abelian dominance and Monopole dominance
Creators: name: van der Sijs, A. J.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Lattice (hep-lat)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A comparative study of Abelian and Monopole dominance in the Laplacian and Maximally Abelian projected gauges is carried out. Clear evidence for both types of dominance is obtained for the Laplacian projection. Surprisingly, the evidence is much more ambiguous in the Maximally Abelian gauge. This is attributed to possible ``long-distance imperfections'' in the maximally abelian gauge fixing.

Carbonatitic magmatism and metamorphic processes in the Monashee complex, British Columbia : thermotectonic evolution of the western North American margin from the Neoproterozoic to the Paleogene
Creators: name: Abdale, Lindsey
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2025

description: The Monashee complex, the deepest exposed structural level in the southern Omineca belt of the Canadian Cordillera, offers a rare window into the tectonic interface between cratonic North America and accreted terranes. This region hosts three Proterozoic-Paleozoic episodes of carbonatite magmatism, offering unique insights into the tectono-magmatic processes that shaped the Canadian Cordillera. Zircon U-Pb geochronology and trace element analysis date magmatic events. New carbonatite ages, approximately 500 and 360 Ma, correspond to regional extensional rifting events, suggesting a genetic link. Zircon Hf isotopes from carbonatites of 800 to 500 Ma suggest a consistent metasomatized mantle source, while those from about 360 Ma show multiple parental melts from depleted and enriched mantle and crustal sources. Mapping, stratigraphy, and geochemistry inform carbonatitic eruption processes. Five 360 Ma carbonatites in the Monashee complex are interpreted as pyroclastic density current deposits (PDC) based on their stratigraphic restriction, lack of intrusive features, and textural parallels to other PDC deposits. Their fine-grained matrix and high lithic-to-juvenile clast ratios suggest a phreatomagmatic origin. This volcanic interpretation within a marine succession directly pins the volcanic activity to the paleo-continental margin, correlating with Devonian-Mississippian alkaline magmatism during extensional back-arc tectonics. Pseudosection modeling, thermometry, and zircon U-Pb geochronology constrain the timing of metamorphic events and partial melting conditions in the deep crust. Reset and altered zircon from Monashee complex carbonatites date hydrothermal and tectonic events at ca. 163 and 130 Ma. These ages match metamorphism in the overlying Selkirk allochthon during accretion and suggest that the terranes were juxtaposed by the mid-Jurassic, earlier than previously thought. Leucosome from the Monashee complex records zircon U-Pb ages equilibrated with garnet, indicating peak metamorphism by 60 Ma, with continued partial melting and zircon crystallization during decompression until at least 50 Ma, ruling out exhumation models that rely on a competent and coherent basement, such as thrust systems. This refined tectonic history warrants a re-examination of the southern Cordillera’s tectonic evolution and architecture. More broadly, this dissertation introduces new field, petrographic, and geochemical approaches to interpreting deformed and metamorphosed carbonatites and highlights the potential of altered zircon in revealing overlooked tectono-metamorphic histories.

description: Molybdenum disulfide (MoS$_2$) has attracted interest owing to its strain-tuned electronic and optical properties, making it a promising candidate for applications in strain engineering devices. In this study, we investigate the effect of uniaxial strain on the electronic properties of MoS$_2$ monolayer using first-principles calculations. Results show that a crossover of the K-K direct to -K indirect bandgap transitions occur at a strain of 1.743%. Moreover, a strong correlation is observed between the modified bandgap and the density of states (DOS) of the Mo-4d and S-3p orbitals at the valence band maximum and conduction band minimum. The uniaxial strain-tuned interatomic distance along the a-crystallographic axis does not only alter the bandgap at different rates but also affects the DOS of the Mo-4d orbital and possible electronic transitions. This study clarifies the mechanism of the electronic structural modification of two-dimensional MoS2 monolayer, which may affect intervalley transitions.

description: In this work the numerical solution of acoustic tomography problem based on the iterative and functional-analytical algorithms is considered. The mathematical properties of these algorithms were previously described in works of R.G.Novikov for the case of the Schrödinger equation. In the present work, for the case of two-dimensional scalar Helmholtz equation, the efficiency of the iterative algorithm in reconstruction of middle strength scatterers and advantages of the functional-analytical approach in recovering strong scatterers are demonstrated. A filtering procedure is considered in the space of wave vectors, which additionally increases the convergence of the iterative algorithm. Reconstruction results of sound speed perturbations demonstrate the comparable noise immunity and resolution of the considered algorithms when reconstructing middle strength scatterers. A comparative numerical investigation of the iterative and functional-analytical algorithms in inverse acoustic scattering problems is implemented in this work for the first time.

Fairness Implications of Encoding Protected Categorical Attributes

description: Past research has demonstrated that the explicit use of protected attributes in machine learning can improve both performance and fairness. Many machine learning algorithms, however, cannot directly process categorical attributes, such as country of birth or ethnicity. Because protected attributes frequently are categorical, they must be encoded as features that can be input to a chosen machine learning algorithm, e.g.\ support vector machines, gradient boosting decision trees or linear models. Thereby, encoding methods influence how and what the machine learning algorithm will learn, affecting model performance and fairness. This work compares the accuracy and fairness implications of the two most well-known encoding methods: \emph{one-hot encoding} and \emph{target encoding}. We distinguish between two types of induced bias that may arise from these encoding methods and may lead to unfair models. The first type, \textit{irreducible bias}, is due to direct group category discrimination, and the second type, \textit{reducible bias}, is due to the large variance in statistically underrepresented groups. We investigate the interaction between categorical encodings and target encoding regularization methods that reduce unfairness. Furthermore, we consider the problem of intersectional unfairness that may arise when machine learning best practices improve performance measures by encoding several categorical attributes into a high-cardinality feature.

Ranking the Cosmos : identifying strongly lensed galaxies
Creators: name: Rice, Silke
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2025

description: The search for strongly lensed galaxies is challenging due to their rarity and the vast data volumes from upcoming surveys like Euclid. These galaxies are vital for studying dark matter and cosmology, making efficient classification methods essential. While traditional classification methods, particularly convolutional neural networks (CNNs), have proven effective, they are computationally expensive and prone to false positives. We propose a learning-to-rank algorithm with a support vector machine (SVM) classifier to prioritize candidate lensed galaxies, streamlining human inspection. Our approach outperforms CNNs in accuracy, runtime, and calibration, even with imbalanced datasets. Integrating real and simulated data ensures robust generalization to real observations. This study demonstrates that simpler models like SVMs can outperform complex deep learning architectures for this task, offering a promising alternative for classifying strongly lensed galaxies in large astronomical datasets.
Improved bounds for the dimension of divisibility

description: The dimension of a partially-ordered set $P$ is the smallest integer $d$ such that one can embed $P$ into a product of $d$ linear orders. We prove that the dimension of the divisibility order on the interval $\{1, \dotsc, n\}$ is bounded above by $C(\log n)^2 (\log \log n)^{-2} \log \log \log n$ as $n$ goes to infinity. This improves a recent result by Lewis and the first author, who showed an upper bound of $C(\log n)^2 (\log \log n)^{-1}$ and a lower bound of $c(\log n)^2 (\log \log n)^{-2}$, asymptotically. To obtain these bounds, we provide a refinement of a bound of Füredi and Kahn and exploit a connection between the dimension of the divisibility order and the maximum size of $r$-cover-free families.

description: Deterministic switching of a magnetic vortex with an electric field is challenging because electric fields cannot break time-reversal symmetry. Here we demonstrate, using phase-field simulations, a deterministic switching of the vortex chirality in a triangle-shaped nanomagnet by applying an electric field to its underlying ferroelectric layer. The nanomagnet is juxtaposed with an overlying antiferromagnetic layer to acquire an exchange bias from their interface. The simulations show that such deterministic electrically-driven magnetic vortex chirality switching is enabled by a synergistic effect of the electric-field-induced strain from the ferroelectric, the three-fold in-plane shape anisotropy of the nanomagnet, and the exchange-bias field. An electric-field-controlled deterministic switching of magnetic vortex chirality has been computationally demonstrated in a novel magnetoelectric architecture, offering a viable route to designing low-power vortex-based spintronic devices.
Irreversible Work Reduction by Disorder in Many-Body Quantum Systems

description: We study the effect of disorder on work exchange associated to quantum Hamiltonian processes by considering an Ising spin chain in which the strength of coupling between spins are randomly drawn from either Normal or Gamma distributions. The chain is subjected to a quench of the external transverse field which induces this exchange of work. In particular, we study the irreversible work incurred by a quench as a function of the initial temperature, field strength and magnitude of the disorder. While presence of weak disorder generally increases the irreversible work generated, disorder of sufficient strength can instead reduce it, giving rise to a disorder induced lubrication effect. This reduction of irreversible work depends on the nature of the distribution considered, and can either arise from acquiring the behavior of an effectively smaller quench for the Normal-distributed spin couplings, or that of effectively single spin dynamics in the case of Gamma distributed couplings.

description: Single-photon detectors and nanoscale superconducting devices are two major candidates for realizing quantum technologies. Superconducting-nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) comprise these two solid-state and optic aspects enabling high-rate (1.3 GBit s-1) quantum key distribution over long distances (>400 km), long-range (>1200 km) quantum communication as well as space communication (239,000 miles). The attractiveness of SNSPDs stems from competitive performance in the four single-photon relevant characteristics at wavelengths ranges from UV to the mid IR: high detection efficiency, low false-signal rate, low uncertainty in photon time arrival and fast reset time. However, to-date, these characteristics cannot be optimized simultaneously. In this review, we present the mechanisms that govern these four characteristics and demonstrate how they are affected by material properties and device design as well as by the operating conditions, allowing aware optimization of SNSPDs. Based on the evolution in the existing literature and state-of-the-art, we propose how to choose or design the material and device for optimizing SNSPD performance, while we also highlight possible future opportunities in the SNSPD technology.

description: We observed two full orbital phase curves of the transiting brown dwarf KELT-1b, at 3.6um and 4.5um, using the Spitzer Space Telescope. Combined with previous eclipse data from Beatty et al. (2014), we strongly detect KELT-1b's phase variation as a single sinusoid in both bands, with amplitudes of $964\pm36$ ppm at 3.6um and $979\pm54$ ppm at 4.5um, and confirm the secondary eclipse depths measured by Beatty et al. (2014). We also measure noticeable Eastward hotspot offsets of $28.4\pm3.5$ degrees at 3.6um and $18.6\pm5.2$ degrees at 4.5um. Both the day-night temperature contrasts and the hotspot offsets we measure are in line with the trends seen in hot Jupiters (e.g., Crossfield 2015), though we disagree with the recent suggestion of an offset trend by Zhang et al. (2018). Using an ensemble analysis of Spitzer phase curves, we argue that nightside clouds are playing a noticeable role in modulating the thermal emission from these objects, based on: 1) the lack of a clear trend in phase offsets with equilibrium temperature, 2) the sharp day-night transitions required to have non-negative intensity maps, which also resolves the inversion issues raised by Keating & Cowan (2017), 3) the fact that all the nightsides of these objects appear to be at roughly the same temperature of 1000K, while the dayside temperatures increase linearly with equilibrium temperature, and 4) the trajectories of these objects on a Spitzer color-magnitude diagram, which suggest colors only explainable via nightside clouds.

description: In this paper hadroproduction of charmonium states in polarized pp collisions is discussed. A thermal picture for the gluonic cloud of comovers is given making contact between the formalism and the measured unpolarized cross sections. The experimentally observed non-polarization of the final J/psi states leads to the consequence that no correlations between the initial proton spin and the final charmonium spin should be existent. Hence the single spin asymmetries vanish to leading order in that model.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: In order to place constraints on cosmology through optical surveys of galaxy clusters, one must first understand the properties of those clusters. To this end, we introduce the Mass Analysis Tool for Chandra (MATCha), a pipeline which uses a parallellized algorithm to analyze archival Chandra data. MATCha simultaneously calculates X-ray temperatures and luminosities and performs centering measurements for hundreds of potential galaxy clusters using archival X-ray exposures. We run MATCha on the redMaPPer SDSS DR8 cluster catalog and use MATCha's output X-ray temperatures and luminosities to analyze the galaxy cluster temperature-richness, luminosity-richness, luminosity-temperature, and temperature-luminosity scaling relations. We detect 447 clusters and determine 246 r2500 temperatures across all redshifts. Within 0.1 < z < 0.35 we find that r2500 Tx scales with optical richness as ln(kB Tx / 1.0 keV) = (0.52 \pm 0.05) ln(λ/70) + (1.85 \pm 0.03) with intrinsic scatter of 0.27 \pm 0.02 (1 σ). We investigate the distribution of offsets between the X-ray center and redMaPPer center within 0.1 < z < 0.35, finding that 68.3 \pm 6.5% of clusters are well-centered. However, we find a broad tail of large offsets in this distribution, and we explore some of the causes of redMaPPer miscentering.

description: In Quantum Field Theory, scattering amplitudes are computed from propagators which, for internal lines, are built upon spin/polarization-sum relationships. In turn, these are normally constructed upon plane-wave solutions of the free field equations. A question that may now arise is whether such spin/polarization-sums can be generalized. In the past, there has been a first attempt at generalizing spin sums for fermionic fields in terms of the Michel-Wightman identities. In this paper, we aim to find the most general spin sums for fermionic fields within the range of QFT.

description: Open Innovation (OI) presents an opportunity for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) to gain a competitive advantage over their peers in their respective markets. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of adopting an open innovation model in the context of SMEs. In doing so, Loughview Timber; a small manufacturer and supplier of timber external door sets, fire rated doors, staircases, windows, based outside of Gilford in Northern Ireland, is used as a case study. They have partnered with the University of Limerick in a knowledge transfer project on product development, using open innovation as a vehicle. Using existing processes and procedures as a base, the study aims to analyse the need for open innovation within Loughview Timber; thus, analysing the effect open innovation would have on the organisation whilst providing recommendatons for the company’s innovation practices. Based on a review of existing literature, a questionnaire and subsequent review of Loughview Timber’s internal documents and market reports, findings emerge. It is recommended that Loughview Timber continue to exploit the benefits of knowledge transfer available, in this case, in the form of InterTradeIreland’s FUSION programme, while also looking for further opportunities to partner with other third level educational institutions. Further research is required across a wider range of SMEs to more accurately determine the effectiveness of open innovation on supporting SME’s product development activities.

description: We present an avatar system designed to facilitate the embodiment of humanoid robots by human operators, validated through iCub3, a humanoid developed at the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT). More precisely, the contribution of the paper is twofold: first, we present the humanoid iCub3 as a robotic avatar which integrates the latest significant improvements after about fifteen years of development of the iCub series; second, we present a versatile avatar system enabling humans to embody humanoid robots encompassing aspects such as locomotion, manipulation, voice, and face expressions with comprehensive sensory feedback including visual, auditory, haptic, weight, and touch modalities. We validate the system by implementing several avatar architecture instances, each tailored to specific requirements. First, we evaluated the optimized architecture for verbal, non-verbal, and physical interactions with a remote recipient. This testing involved the operator in Genoa and the avatar in the Biennale di Venezia, Venice - about 290 Km away - thus allowing the operator to visit remotely the Italian art exhibition. Second, we evaluated the optimised architecture for recipient physical collaboration and public engagement on-stage, live, at the We Make Future show, a prominent world digital innovation festival. In this instance, the operator was situated in Genoa while the avatar operates in Rimini - about 300 Km away - interacting with a recipient who entrusted the avatar a payload to carry on stage before an audience of approximately 2000 spectators. Third, we present the architecture implemented by the iCub Team for the ANA Avatar XPrize competition.

description: Vacuum energies are computed in light-cone field theories to obtain effective potentials which determine vacuum condensate. Quantization surfaces interpolating between the light-like surface and the usual spatial one are useful to define the vacuum energies unambiguously. The Gross-Neveu, SU(N) Thirring, and O(N) vector models are worked out in the large $N$ limit. The vacuum energies are found to be independent of the interpolating angle to define the quantization surface. Renormalization of effective potential is explicitly performed. As an example of the case with nonconstant order parameter, two-dimensional QCD is also studied. Vacuum energies are explicitly obtained in the large $N$ limit which give the gap equation as the stationary point.

description: We propose a solution to the problem of Bloch electrons in a homogeneous magnetic field by including the quantum fluctuations of the photon field. A generalized quantum electrodynamical (QED) Bloch theory from first principles is presented. In the limit of vanishing quantum fluctuations we recover the standard results of solid-state physics, for instance, the fractal spectrum of the Hofstadter butterfly. As a further application we show how the well known Landau physics is modified by the photon field and that Landau polaritons emerge. This shows that our QED-Bloch theory does not only allow to capture the physics of solid-state systems in homogeneous magnetic fields, but also novel features that appear at the interface of condensed matter physics and quantum optics.

description: We study the effect of a non-vanishing flux for the NS-NS antisymmetric tensor in open-string orbifolds. As in toroidal models, the total dimension of the Chan-Paton gauge group is reduced proportionally to the rank of $B_{ab}$, both on D9 and on D5-branes, while the Moebius amplitude involves some signs that, in the $Z_2$ case, allow one to connect continuously ${\rm U} (n)$ groups to $Sp(n) \otimes Sp(n)$ groups on each set of D-branes. In this case, non-universal couplings between twisted scalars and gauge vectors arise, as demanded by the generalised Green-Schwarz mechanism. We also comment on the role of the NS-NS antisymmetric tensor in a recently proposed type scenario, where supersymmetry is broken on the D-branes, while it is preserved in the bulk.

Investigating racial equity and anti-racism policy in K-12 public schooling in British Columbia : an anti-colonial discursive analysis of the Surrey School District's Racial Equity Strategic Plan
Creators: name: Kahlon, Aneet Kaur
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: The purpose of this research is to examine how Canadian K-12 public education racial equity policy may function to reproduce the oppressive social, historical, and political forces it claims to challenge. This thesis conducts a qualitative content analysis of Surrey School District’s Racial Equity Strategic Plan 2023-2028, through an anti-colonial discursive framework, to research how capitalism, colonialism, imperialism, and white supremacy may be overlooked within attempts to achieve racial equity in education. Specifically, this investigation focuses on how hegemony may be reinforced through the implementation of educational racial equity policy due to persistent power inequities embedded in the text which function in opposition to policy goals. This research delves deeply into investigating historical educational policies in British Columbia’s public schools in order to understand how educational policy has affected Indigenous, Black, and racialized communities in the past and how these outcomes endure today. This research finds that in order for the Surrey School District’s Racial Equity Strategic Plan 2023-2028 to improve the equity outcomes of its target populations, it must acknowledge and address the normative colonial structures and values that enforce educational domination over and oppression of marginalized communities beyond the dimension of race. Racial equity and anti-racism policies must incorporate initiatives of critical structural reform of education systems that seek to address the root cause of racism, such as capitalism, colonialism, imperialism, systemic whiteness, and white supremacy, in order to meaningfully and holistically address racism for Indigenous, Black, and other racialized communities within K-12 public schooling.
Survival and disruption of subsystems during a cold collapse

description: Cold collapse of a cluster composed of small identical clumps, each of which is in virial equilibrium, is considered. Since the clumps have no relative motion with respect to each other initially, the cluster collapses by its gravity. At the first collapse of the cluster, most of the clumps are destroyed, but some survive. In order to find the condition for the clumps to survive, we made systematic study in two-parameter space: the number of the clumps $N_c$ and the size of the clump $r_v$. We obtained the condition, $N_c \gg 1$ and $n_k \geq 1$, where $n_k$ is related to $r_v$ and the initial radius of the cluster $R_{ini}$ through the relation $R_{ini}/r_v = 2 N_c^{(n_k+5)/6}$. A simple analytic argument supports the numerical result. This $n_k$ corresponds to the index of the power spectrum of the density fluctuation in the cosmological hierarchical clustering, and thus our result may suggest that in the systems smaller than $2/(Ωh^2)$Mpc, the first violent collapse is strong enough to sweep away all substructures which exist before the collapse.

Putting centre dominance under the microscope

description: We make various short points on the phenomenon of centre dominance in SU(2). The Z(2) dominance seen in Wilson loops is related to the loop distribution and to half-odd-integer representations of the group. The distributions also make it clear that, in this picture, the requirement of vortices for confinement is essentially trivial. We confirm that the same effect appears in the positive plaquette model. The simple random vortex picture is shown to give a substantial fraction of the string tension.

description: Cockpit design is a core area of human factors and ergonomics (HF/E). Ideally, good design compensates for human capacity limitations by distributing task requirements over human and interface to improve safety and performance. Recent empirical findings suggest that the mere spatial layout of car cockpits may influence driver behaviour, expanding current views on HF/E in cockpit design. To assess the reliability of findings showing that an expansive driver seat space predicts parking violations, we replicated an original field study in a geographically and socio-culturally different location and included an additional covariate. After controlling for car length, brand status, and car price, driver seat space remained a positive predictor of illegal parking. This suggests that the spatial design of vehicle cockpits may indeed have an influence on driver behaviour and may therefore be a relevant dimension to be included in research and applications of HF/E in cockpit design. Practitioner summary: In car cockpit design, ergonomists typically focus on optimising human–machine interfaces to improve traffic safety. We replicate evidence showing that increasing physical space surrounding the driver relates to an increased probability of parking violations. This suggests that spatial design should be added to the ergonomist's toolbox for reducing traffic violations.
Strong Coupling Limit of ${\cal N}=2$ SCFT Free Energy and Higher Derivative AdS/CFT Correspondence

description: We study the role of higher derivative terms (Riemann curvature squared ones) in thermodynamics of SCFTs via AdS/CFT correspondence. Using IIB string effective action (d5 AdS gravity) with such HD terms deduced from heterotic string via duality we calculate strong coupling limit of ${\cal N}=2$ SCFT free energy with the account of next to leading term in large $N$ expansion. It is compared with perturbative result following from boundary QFT. Considering modification of such action where HD terms form Weyl squared tensor we found (strong coupling limit) free energy in such theory. It is interesting that leading and next to leading term of large $N$ expanded free energy may differ only by factor 3/4 if compare with perturbative result. Considering HD gravity as bosonic sector of some (compactified) HD supergravity we suggest new version of AdS/CFT conjecture and successfully test it on the level of free energies for ${\cal N}=2,4$ SCFTs.

description: We study the decay of a pseudovector glueball with quantum numbers $J^{PC}=1^{+-}$, the lightest glueball with spin different from zero or two, in the top-down holographic Witten-Sakai-Sugimoto model. This glueball is dual to the string-theoretic Kalb-Ramond tensor field, which completely fixes all its couplings by gauge invariance and $D$-brane anomaly inflow. The dominant decay channels are determined by a Chern-Simons-like action for the flavor branes; couplings from the Dirac-Born-Infeld action turn out to be subdominant. While the resulting width is parametrically of order $N_c^{-2}λ^{-1}$ for $N_c$ colors and 't Hooft coupling $λ$, when extrapolated to $N_c=3$ and with $λ$ matched to experimental data, the prediction is that the pseudovector glueball is an extremely broad resonance.

description: We present a model based on an O(3) flavor symmetry and a minimal extension of the scalar sector to induce hierarchical breaking, O(3) -> O(2) -> SO(2) -> nothing. The model naturally accounts for all the known lepton parameters and yields various interesting predictions for others: (i) Neutrinos are nearly degenerate, m_ν\sim 0.1 eV; (ii) The solar neutrino problem is solved by the MSW small mixing angle solution; (iii) The MNS mixing angle theta_{13} is unobservably small, theta_{13} = O(10^{-5}).

Distinct universality classes of diffusive transport from full counting statistics

description: The hydrodynamic transport of local conserved densities furnishes an effective coarse-grained description of the dynamics of a many-body quantum system. However, the full quantum dynamics contains much more structure beyond the simplified hydrodynamic description. Here we show that systems with the same hydrodynamics can nevertheless belong to distinct dynamical universality classes, as revealed by new classes of experimental observables accessible in synthetic quantum systems, which can, for instance, measure simultaneous site-resolved snapshots of all of the particles in a system. Specifically, we study the full counting statistics of spin transport, whose first moment is related to linear-response transport, but the higher moments go beyond. We present an analytic theory of the full counting statistics of spin transport in various integrable and non-integrable anisotropic one-dimensional spin models, including the XXZ spin chain. We find that spin transport, while diffusive on average, is governed by a distinct non-Gaussian dynamical universality class in the models considered. We consider a setup in which the left and right half of the chain are initially created at different magnetization densities, and consider the probability distribution of the magnetization transferred between the two half-chains. We derive a closed-form expression for the probability distribution of the magnetization transfer, in terms of random walks on the half-line. We show that this distribution strongly violates the large-deviation form expected for diffusive chaotic systems, and explain the physical origin of this violation. We discuss the crossovers that occur as the initial state is brought closer to global equilibrium. Our predictions can directly be tested in experiments using quantum gas microscopes or superconducting qubit arrays.

description: We estimate the cross-section for glueball production in peripheral heavy-ion collisions through two-photon and double-Pomeron exchange, at energies that will be available at RHIC and LHC. Glueballs will be produced at large rates, opening the possibility to study decays with very small branching ratios. In particular, we discuss the possibility of observing the subprocess $γγ(PP) \rightarrow G \rightarrow γγ$.

Do Large Abelian Monopole Loops Survive the Continuum Limit?

Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Lattice (hep-lat)

description: An analysis of the monopole loop length distribution is performed in Wilson-action SU(2) lattice gauge theory. A pure power law in the inverse length is found, at least for loops of length, $l$, less than the linear lattice size $N$. This power shows a definite $β$ dependence, passing 5 around $β=2.9$, and appears to have very little finite lattice size dependence. It is shown that when this power exceeds 5, no loops any finite fraction of the lattice size will survive the infinite lattice limit. This is true for any reasonable size distribution for loops larger than N. The apparent lack of finite size dependence in this quantity would seem to indicate that abelian monopole loops large enough to cause confinement do not survive the continuum limit. Indeed they are absent for all $β> 2.9$.
