description: Throughout this paper, I will lay out some of the underpinnings of my practice. My practice is multivalent; it ranges widely, draws from many sources and employs a multitude of media. It reflects my explorations in using the parafiction as a narrative device to investigate memories and history. It relies on research to explore backgrounds and linkages. It is about collections of objects as allegorical devices and the play with the archive, the Wunderkammer and museological tropes. My practice is an examination of the potential of the narrative and its narrator(s) to reveal the wonders of the everyday. This paper traces my investigation and analysis of the narrative as a means to understand fictions that deal with possibles and plausibles, specifically through the works of Mieke Bal, Manfred Jahn and Carrie Lambert Beatty. Referencing the films of Patrick Keiller and works by Rodney Graham I examine the role of the narrator, as a not always reliable guide, for uncovering forgotten, misplaced and speculative memories and histories. I reveal the narrator as “trickster” whose disclosure of information offers only clues and trace elements. The evolution of my own work, from just prior to and during the MFA, illustrates my material and theoretical explorations that have led to the body of work called Remote Viewer, presented in the 2018 MFA Graduate Exhibition. By referencing the practices of artists Susan Hiller, Mark Dion and Cornelia Parker, I illustrate how my play with everyday objects as allegorical devices operates in support of my speculative narratives. Similar to the practices of Tom Sachs and Richard E Prince, I employ models and dioramas to highlight the inherent magic of the sometimes futile attempt to replicate memories and events. This paper is also about the struggle to define and “own” my art practice. A practice that over the course of my MFA, through playful exploration and experimentation has developed faster than my theoretical “understanding” of how it operates. This “final” version is the next step in catching up and closing the gap.

Abstract Efmoroctocog alfa (Elocta®, Eloctate®, Eloctate™), an extended half-life (EHL) recombinant factor VIII (rFVIII)-Fc fusion protein, is approved for the treatment and prophylaxis of bleeding in patients with haemophilia A. The efficacy of efmoroctocog alfa in the prevention and treatment of bleeding in previously treated patients (PTPs) and previously untreated patients (PUPs) with severe haemophilia A has been demonstrated in phase III studies; this includes its use in the perioperative setting (in PTPs). Furthermore, the effectiveness of efmoroctocog alfa in clinical practice has been confirmed in numerous real-world studies; compared with conventional, standard half-life (SHL) FVIII products, prophylaxis with this EHL FVIII product achieved similar or reduced bleeding rates with fewer injections. Efmoroctocog alfa was generally well tolerated; inhibitors occurred in approximately one-third of PUPs in a phase III study. Efmoroctocog alfa is an established and effective EHL FVIII replacement therapy for the management of haemophilia A. Compared with SHL FVIII products, EHL FVIII products such as efmoroctocog alfa have the potential to optimise prophylactic outcomes by decreasing the burden of treatment or increasing the level of bleed protection.

Recollimation and Radiative Focusing of Relativistic Jets: Applications to Blazars and M87

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: Recent observations of M87 and some blazars reveal violent activity in small regions located at relatively large distances from the central engine. Motivated by these considerations, we study the hydrodynamic collimation of a relativistic cooling outflow using a semi-analytical model developed earlier. We first demonstrate that radiative cooling of the shocked outflow layer can lead to a focusing of the outflow and its reconfinement in a region having a very small cross-sectional radius. Such a configuration can produce rapid variability at large distances from the central engine via reflections of the converging recollimation shock. Possible applications of this model to TeV blazars are discussed. We then apply our model to M87. The low radiative efficiency of the M87 jet renders focusing unlikely. However, the shallow profile of the ambient medium pressure inferred from observations, results in extremely good collimation that can explain the reported variability of the X-ray flux emitted from the HST-1 knot.

description: Recent studies on biphenyl-containing compounds, a type of PD-1/PD-L1 blocker which binds to PD-L1 and induces dimerisation, have focussed on its immune function. Herein, 10 novel biphenyl derivatives were designed and synthesised. The results of the CCK-8 showed that compounds have different anti-tumour activities for tumour cells in the absence of T cells. Particularly, 12j–4 can significantly induce the apoptosis of MDA-MB-231 cells (IC50 = 2.68 ± 0.27 μM). In further studies, 12j–4 has been shown to prevent the phosphorylation of AKT by binding to cytoplasmic PD-L1, which induces apoptosis in MDA-MB-231 cells through non-immune pathways. The inhibition of AKT phosphorylation restores the activity of GSK-3β, ultimately resulting in the degradation of PD-L1. Besides, in vivo study indicated that 12j–4 repressed tumour growth in nude mice. As these biphenyls exert their anti-tumour effects mainly through non-immune pathways, they are worthy of further study as PD-L1 inhibitors. 10 novel biphenyl derivatives were designed and synthesised. 12j–4 can cause the apoptosis of MDA-MB-231 cells with an IC50 value of 2.68 ± 0.27 μM in the absence of immune cells. 12j–4 prevents the phosphorylation of AKT by binding to cytoplasmic PD-L1 to induce apoptosis through non-immune pathways.

description: My research focuses on an investigation of how my body reacts to spatial and sensory information and developing visual motifs and metaphors that poetically capture somatic interruptions in my daily life. While subjected to the onset of neurocardiogenic episodes that cause me to have uniquely altered sensory somatic encounters, my body feels like a receiver for a multitude of sensory information from internal and external environments. Sometimes objects, shapes, spaces and sound change instantaneously, and my body is left to respond accordingly, losing parts of vision, sense of touch or ability to hear. I look to these somatic experiences for inspiration in making art. Key research questions have guided my practice, such as What can the fragmentation of spaces that occur in these moments provide my practice? How do I translate somatic experiences, such as a corner of a room disappearing or a wall floating upward through the ceiling, into a visual narrative? How does one remain orientated in such a moment and how can one's (re)orientation be transposed into an art installation? My aim was to make sonic, visual and material gestures about these experiences to better understand them and the relationship between sensory and spatial perception. Much of my inquiry assesses the aesthetic content of the ‘home’ as a way of mapping the manner in which my body and perceptions are ‘organized’ by and within the world. I draw on the work of Gaston Bachelard and Tim Endensor, among others, to not only develop my discussion of architectural spaces and its aesthetics but also as a way of navigating my personal experiences of architectural spaces that enclose the fragility of my body and its reliance on an external environment for orientation.

description: My project, The Song of the Whale, is a product of an interdependent narrative structure, and has been led by my conjectural knowledge and artistic research. My research has led me to my current investigation and exploration of particular events and techniques in relation to methods and methodologies, which could represent historical progress with regard to an impending future catastrophe - Armageddon, which is from a verse in the New Testament, “And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon” (King James Version, Rev. 16.16). The dichotomy between fear - of war or disasters, and goodness in relation to being brought up in the Christian faith, performs the formation of my framing metaphor and my figuration which is my positionality, through embodied knowledge, which is always moving with my ideas into different positions. My artistic process often begins with narrative. Mieke Bal’s Narratology has provided significant insight because her theory of narrative, involving fabula, story, and narrative text, is effectual in breaking down the essential features of narratives in my work. Allegory threads these three layers of narrative together. In this process of decomposing and interpreting my narrative, I explore Manfred Jahn’s theory of focalization - the relationship between the vision, the agent that sees, and that which is seen (Bal 146). In further exploring this connection, I found it useful to consider both my situated and embodied knowledge in relation to Jahn’s Model of Vision. In this context, I began to speculate about narrative perspective in my writings, and I experimented with second person narration and stumbled upon an unpredicted momentum, which made me step into and play again in the relationship among my elements and audience. I developed more of a sense of concern with, and curiosity about, how the audience becomes a participant in connection with my artwork.

description: Multi-instrument data sets of NOAA AR10938 on Jan. 16, 2007, (e.g., {\emph{Hinode}}, {\it{STEREO}}, {\it{GOES}}, {\it{MLSO}} and {\it{ISOON}} H$α$) are utilized to study the fine structure and evolution of a magnetic loop system exhibiting multiple crossing threads, whose arrangement and individual shapes are very suggestive of individual field lines in a flux rope. The footpoints of the magnetic threads are closely rooted into pores and plage areas. A C-class flare recorded by {\it{GOES}} at approximately 2:35 UT near one of the footpoints of the multi-thread system (along with a wisp of loop material shown by EUV data) led to the brightening of the magnetic structure revealing its fine structure with several threads that indicate a high degree of linking (suggesting a left-handed helical pattern as shown by the filament structure formed later-on). EUV observations by {\emph{Hinode}}/EIS of hot spectral lines at 2:46 UT show a complex structure of coronal loops. The same features were observed about 20 minutes later in X-ray images from {\emph{Hinode}}/XRT and about 30 minutes further in EUV images of {\it{STEREO}}/SECCHI/EUVI with much better resolution. H$α$ and 304 Å images revealed the presence of several filament fibrils in the same area. They evolved a few hours later into a denser structure seemingly showing helical structure, which persistently lasted for several days forming a segment of a larger scale filament. The present observations provide an important indication for a flux robe as a precursor of a solar filament.

description: Hello, My Other Self is a personal journey of discovery. As a Māori who is seeking cultural kinship, my first integral questions are “ko wai au”, who am I? and “no hea au”, where do I come from? As a Māori designer I look to my whakapapa, reminding me of where I come from, the stories of our people and what makes te ao Māori unique. Māori design and Māori culture are so closely interwoven that it is impossible to consider these two concepts separately. The backbone of my exploration of woven process fuses customary māoritanga holding steadfast to the blessings of Papatūānuku from inception with contemporary form and practice. Creating narratives of whakapapa, through the intangible knowledge of ancestry that I embody in my being, connecting maker, materials and artifact. Pursuing this praxis focuses on deepening an understanding of my culture through engaging the notion and dissecting the meaning of weaving as a design practice from material based exploration, to the woven process, to sustainability, where I, as Māori, am considered the medium. The eternal thread or te aho tapu is the genealogical line, the first and sacred line of weaving that guides me on this journey. Te aho tapu in māoridom is our connection to the past, acknowledging this is personally and culturally important as in our concept of time we cannot separate ourselves from our tūpuna or the generation in front of us. This journey is a reflective exploration of material characteristics, creating cloth, a korowai, a blanket of culture, in te ao Pākehā culture, seeking ways I can culturally embrace and sustain culture in today’s world through Māori forms of design. Intrinsically engaging with harakeke and natural fibres that share similar foundational relationships such as flax, buffalo and sheep wool. The use of these materials enhances the cultural values, asserting sustainability of Māori epistemological notions of practice and meaning into my design. I am weaving my story metaphorically, culturally and physically.

description: European countries do less research than Japan and the United States. We use a quantitative multi-country growth model to ask: (i) Why is ~his so? (ii) Would there be any benefit to expanding research in Europe? (iii) y&.at would various European research promotion policies do? We find that: (i) Europe's lower research effort has more to do with the smaller markets facing European inventors than with lower research productivity. (ii) Europe has substantial research potential in that increased research effort in most European countries generates bigger income benefits there than in.creased effort in the United States and Japan of equivalent amounts. (ill) Policies to stimulate research in Europe raise productivity not only there but elsewhere. But a problem with pursuing these policies at the national level is the potential for free riding. A second possible problem with promoting research is distributional: While all countries within the European Union benefit, the countries that are already best at doing research, which tend to be the richer members, fare best. The benefits of policies that facilitate the adoption of innovations are more evenly spread.

description: The sensitivity of the zero position of the forward backward asymmetry $\mathcal{A}_{FB}$ for the exclusive $B\rightarrow K_{1}(1270)μ^{+}μ^{-}$ decay is examined by using most general non-standard 4-fermion interactions. Our analysis shows that the zero position of the forward backward asymmetry is very sensitive to the sign and size of the Wilson coefficients corresponding to the new vector type interactions, which are the counter partners of the usual Standard Model operators but have opposite chirality. In addition to these, the other significant effect comes from the interference of Scalar-Pseudoscalar and Tensor type operators. These results will not only enhance our theoretical understanding about the axial vector mesons but will also serve as a good tool to look for physics beyond the SM.

description: Whether methionine content and its metabolites in liver and skeletal muscle show diurnal rhythmicity remains unknown. In the present study, we investigated the diurnal rhythms in methionine and S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) in plasma, liver, and longissimus thoracis muscle, as well as in enzymes involved in methionine-related transmethylation reaction using pigs maintained in a 12-h photoperiod. The results showed that concentration of methionine and SAM, as well as mRNA expression of methionine adenosyltransferase (MAT1A), DNA methyltranferase (DNMT3A and DNMT3B) in liver showed diurnal rhythmicity. Comparison with typical circadian clock genes revealed a similarity between the diurnal patterns of MAT1A and cryptochrome circadian clock 1 (CRY1) expression, whereas the daily patterns of MAT2A, DNMT3A, and DNMT3B expression were reversely related to the expression patterns of Timeless. These results imply that much attention should be paid to rhythms of methionine metabolism and methylation activity in the pathogenesis of diseases, such as cancer and metabolic syndrome.

description: We report the results of an optical campaign carried out by the XMM-Newton Survey Science Centre with the specific goal of identifying the brightest X-ray sources in the XMM-Newton Galactic Plane Survey of Hands et al. (2004). In addition to photometric and spectroscopic observations obtained at the ESO-VLT and ESO-3.6m, we used cross-correlations with the 2XMMi, USNO-B1.0, 2MASS and GLIMPSE catalogues to progress the identification process. Active coronae account for 16 of the 30 identified X-ray sources. Many of the identified hard X-ray sources are associated with massive stars emitting at intermediate X-ray luminosities of 10^32-34 erg/s. Among these are a very absorbed likely hyper-luminous star with X-ray/optical spectra and luminosities comparable with those of eta Carina, a new X-ray selected WN8 Wolf-Rayet star, a new Be/X-ray star belonging to the growing class of Gamma-Cas analogs and a possible supergiant X-ray binary of the kind discovered recently by INTEGRAL. One of the sources, XGPS-25 has a counterpart which exhibits HeII 4686 and Bowen CIII-NIII emission lines suggesting a quiescent or X-ray shielded Low Mass X-ray Binary, although its properties might also be consistent with a rare kind of cataclysmic variable (CV). We also report the discovery of three new CVs, one of which is a likely magnetic system. The soft (0.4-2.0 keV) band LogN-LogS curve is completely dominated by active stars in the flux range of 1x10^-13 to 1x10^-14 erg/cm2/s. In total, we are able to identify a large fraction of the hard (2-10 keV) X-ray sources in the flux range of 1x10^-12 to 1x10^-13 erg/cm2/s with Galactic objects at a rate consistent with that expected for the Galactic contribution only.

We examine the effect of lower geographic barriers to trade on research and the effects of scale and research productivity on relative incomes.

description: Modeling interacting galaxies to reproduce observed systems is still a challenge due to the extended parameter space (among other problems). Orbit and basic galaxy parameters can be tackled by fast simulation techniques like the restricted N-body method, applied in the fundamental work by Toomre & Toomre (1972). This approach allows today for the study of millions of models in a short time. One difficulty for the classical restricted N-body method is the missing orbital decay, not allowing for galaxy mergers. Here we present an extension of the restricted N-body method including dynamical friction. This treatment has been developed by a quantitative comparison with a set of self-consistent merger simulations. By varying the dynamical friction (formalism, strength and direction), we selected the best-fitting parameters for a set of more than 250000 simulations. We show that our treatment reliably reproduces the orbital decay and tidal features of merging disk galaxies for mass ratios up to q=1/3 between host and satellite. We implemented this technique into our genetic algorithm based modeling code MINGA and present first results.

This allows us to prove, under regularity hypothesis, that these manifolds are a doubly warped product up to a zero measure subset formed by an union of leaves. We also obtain a necessary and sufficient condition which ensures the decomposition of the whole manifold and use it to give sufficient conditions of geometrical nature. Finally, we study the uniqueness of direct product decomposition in the non simply connected case.

description: Recent progress in the understanding of the nucleon is presented. The unpolarised structure functions are obtained with unprecedented precision from the combined H1 and ZEUS data and are used to extract proton parton distribution functions via NLO QCD fits. The obtained parametrisation displays an improved precision, in particular at low Bjorken x, and leads to precise predictions of cross sections for LHC phenomena. Recent data from proton-antiproton collisions at Tevatron indicate further precise constraints at large Bjorken x. The flavour content of the proton is further studied using final states with charm and beauty in DIS ep and pp collisions. Data from polarised DIS or proton-proton collisions are used to test the spin structure of the proton and to constrain the polarised parton distributions.

description: Parton distributions in impact parameter space, which are obtained by Fourier transforming GPDs, exhibit a significant deviation from axial symmetry when target and/or quark are transversely polarized. In combination with the final state interactions, this transverse deformation provides a natural mechanism for naive-T odd transverse single-spin asymmetries in semi-inclusive DIS. The deformation of PDFs in impact parameter space can also be related to the transverse force acting on the active quark in polarized DIS at higher twist.

description: We discuss the stochastic mean-field theory (SMFT) method which is a new approach for describing disordered Bose systems in the thermodynamic limit including localization and dimensional effects. We explicate the method in detail and apply it to the disordered Bose-Hubbard model at finite temperature, with on-site box disorder, as well as experimentally relevant unbounded speckle disorder. We find that disorder-induced condensation and reentrant behavior at constant filling are only possible at low temperatures, beyond the reach of current experiments [Pasienski et al., arXiv:0908.1182]. Including off-diagonal hopping disorder as well, we investigate its effect on the phase diagram in addition to pure on-site disorder. To make contact to present experiments on a quantitative level, we also combine SMFT with an LDA approach and obtain the condensate fraction in the presence of an external trapping potential.

description: Fluctuations in the terms of trade-the price of a country's exports relative to the price of its imports-are a source of perennial concern to policymakers in developing countries and industrialized nations alike. Terms of trade growth is extremely volatile and can lead to sudden changes in a country's economic health. This paper seeks to understand the sources of fluctuations in the terms of trade. We decompose a country's terms of trade volatility into a component stemming from differences in the composition of import baskets and export baskets, which we define as a "goods price effect," and a component due to cross-country differences in the price of a particular class of goods, which we call a "country price effect". We ask whether the decomposition depends in a clear way on country characteristics-developed vs. less-developed; exporter of manufactured goods vs. exporter of fuels or other commodities? Our goal in this paper is twofold. First, we provide new evidence on the sources of terms of trade volatility that should be of use to policymakers. Second, the stylized facts that emerge from this analysis will provide guidance for economists seeking to build better models of interdependent economies.

description: We characterize the multipartite entanglement of a system of n qubits in terms of the distribution function of the bipartite purity over balanced bipartitions. We search for maximally multipartite entangled states, whose average purity is minimal, and recast this optimization problem into a problem of statistical mechanics, by introducing a cost function, a fictitious temperature and a partition function. By investigating the high-temperature expansion, we obtain the first three moments of the distribution. We find that the problem exhibits frustration.

Dynamics of the Density Matrix in Contact with a Thermal Bath and the Quantum Master Equation

description: We study the structure of the time evolution of the density matrix in contact with a thermal bath in a standard projection operator sheme. The reduced density matrix of the system in the steady state is obtained by tracing out the degree of freedom of the thermal bath from the equilibrium density matrix of the total system. This reduced density matrix is modified by the interaction, and is different from that of the equilibrium of the system alone. We explicitly calculate the contribution of each term in quantum master equation to the realization of the steady state density matrix, and make clear roles of each term. By making use of the role of each term, the properties of the commonly used quantum master equation are examined.

description: The goal of this process-based inquiry is to be responsive to the art making process and to what transpires when the work transforms in the different stages and different media. For this purpose, I use cut-out collage figures that are transformed from analogue to digital media, from inanimate to animate work, and from small scale to large and back to small. In addition to the physical transformation, I investigate what this transformation means to the work both conceptually and as content. Through the cycle of disassembly and reconstitution, initial considerations about what constitutes hybridity, multiplicity or non-variability in the material practices of contemporary print media expand into thematic concerns of hybridity, alterity and repetition. These concepts are approached through a variety of texts on pluralism, polysemy, dynamism, hybridization and awkwardness. Starting as hand-pulled prints, the paper collage figures transform into scans, digital prints, stop-motion work and finally video projections. Within this series of metamorphoses, each experimental iteration of the process investigates what qualities, characteristics and possibilities are relinquished by the altered relationship between the work in different stages, and what are repossessed in the final work.

description: Near-sun space-environment effects on metallic thin films solar sails as well as hollow-body sails with inflation fill gas are considered. Analysis of interaction of the solar radiation with the solar sail materials is presented. This analysis evaluates worst-case solar radiation effects during solar-radiation-pressure acceleration. The dependence of the thickness of solar sail on temperature and on wavelength of the electromagnetic spectrum of solar radiation is investigated. Physical processes of the interaction of photons, electrons, protons and helium nuclei with sail material atoms and nuclei, and inflation fill gas molecules are analyzed. Calculations utilized conservative assumptions with the highest values for the available cross sections for interactions of solar photons, electrons and protons with atoms, nuclei and hydrogen molecules. It is shown that for high-energy photons, electrons and protons the beryllium sail is mostly transparent. Sail material will be partially ionized by solar UV and low-energy solar electrons. For a hollow-body photon sail effects including hydrogen diffusion through the solar sail walls, and electrostatic pressure is considered. Electrostatic pressure caused by the electrically charged sail's electric field may require mitigation since sail material tensile strength decreases with elevated temperature.

description: Abstract

The increasing anthropogenic impact on the places of natural growth of plant communities leads to the fact that the population of wild ornamental irises decreases from year to year. The aim of the study is to determine the limiting environmental factors affecting the distribution of certain species of irises (Iris L) in the Ganja- Gazakh region. The assessment of the potential and real ecological valence of species was carried out, the coefficient of ecological efficiency and the tolerance index of species were calculated. With the help of amplitude ecological scales, it is possible to determine the state of the growing environment in the response of the cenopopulation to changes in certain environmental factors. It was revealed that the species of irises growing on the territory in the Ganja- Qazakh region. Are assemblers in the structure of ecological and cenotic groups, and changes in the soil and climate of the region can be determined by their condition in the cenopopulation. The results of the research can be used in phyto-indication of territories and monitoring of plant resources.
Valuations on manifolds and integral geometry

description: One constructs new operations of pull-back and push-forward on valuations on manifolds with respect to submersions and immersions. A general Radon type transform on valuations is introduced using these operations and the product on valuations. It is shown that the classical Radon transform on smooth functions, and the well known Radon transform on constructible functions with respect to the Euler characteristic are special cases of this new Radon transform. An inversion formula for the Radon transform on valuations has been proven in a specific case of real projective spaces. Relations of these operations to yet another classical type of integral geometry, Crofton and kinematic formulas, are indicated.
description: 77 pages. In several places the claim of continuity of some operators on distributions and valuations is replaced by the claim of sequential continuity. Few related modifications in appropriate places are made

description: This thesis project is a material inquiry into the perceptual consequences of colour, pattern and shape, as well as a personal investigation of the terms of Western abstraction. In this paper, I will describe and contextualize three bodies of studio work I have developed during my time as a graduate student. I will articulate how these projects reanimate certain Modernist tropes, especially the concepts of non-objective form and colour-as-subject. I will also link my works to an additional set of concerns, which include the spatio-temporal implications of modular structure and three-dimensional form, and the significance of labour-intensive material craft in the digital age. Stripe Set is a series of painted canvases with the same composition but different colour palettes. As a modular work, this project can be reconfigured in response to architectural situations and opportunities of exhibition context. It queries notions of originality and multiplicity while delivering an experience of chromatic intensity that calls a viewer’s attention to their embodied situation. The Polychrome Lozenges are a series of serigraphs on cotton paper that explore the boundary between object and image while paying homage to the history of striped painting within the 20th century canon. The Intermedial Experiments are a collection of works made from wood and fibreboard that blend combinations of drawing, painting and sculpture to generate instances of perceptual surprise. In addition to coming off the wall into literal space, these pieces mark a significant shift as they depart from arbitrary colour palettes to consider how specifically sourced colours can link abstract artworks to our everyday perceptual experiences.

description: This review provides an elementary discussion of electroweak symmetry breaking in the minimal and the next-to-minimal supersymmetric models with the focus on the fine-tuning problem -- the tension between natural electroweak symmetry breaking and the direct search limit on the Higgs boson mass. Two generic solutions of the fine-tuning problem are discussed in detail: models with unusual Higgs decays; and models with unusual pattern of soft supersymmetry breaking parameters.

description: We give a geometric interpretation of the Jones-Ocneanu trace on the Hecke algebra, using the equivariant cohomology of sheaves on SL(n). This construction makes sense for all simple algebraic groups, so we obtain a generalization of the Jones-Ocneanu trace to Hecke algebras of other types. We give a geometric expansion of this trace in terms of the irreducible characters of the Hecke algebra, and conclude that it agrees with a trace defined independently by Gomi. Based on our proof, we also prove that certain simple perverse sheaves on a reductive algebraic group G are equivariantly formal for the conjugation action of a Borel B, or equivalently, that the Hochschild homology of any Soergel bimodule is free, as the authors had previously conjectured. This construction is closely tied to knot homology. This interpretation of the Jones-Ocneanu trace is a more elementary manifestation of the geometric construction of HOMFLYPT homology given by the authors in a previous paper.
