title: Contemporary Cultural Anthropology in Poland

Subjects: subject: Anthropology
subject: FOS: Sociology

description: Contemporary cultural anthropology in Poland is characterized by two types of change within the discipline . One is the change in emphasis from founding or renewing old institutions, such as departments in universities, museums, and research institutes, to maintaining and improving them. Accounts of Polish post-World War II ethnography stress the rebuilding of the old institutions and the expansion of the discipline by the founding of new ones (e.g.,Kutrzeba-Pojnarowa 1964, 1968). While it is difficult to predict the course of future events, it appears that the rebuilding and founding phase is all but over and that current emphasis and future activity will focus on maintaining and improving existing institutions .

description: A geodesic orbit manifold is a complete Riemannian manifold all of whose geodesics are orbits of one-parameter groups of isometries. We give both a geometric and an algebraic characterization of geodesic orbit manifolds that are diffeomorphic to $\mathbf{R}^n$. Along the way, we establish various structural properties of more general geodesic orbit manifolds.

description: In many physical systems, there are specific electronic states called dark state that are protected from the rapid radiative decay imposed by the system symmetry. Although their long-lived nature indicates their potential for quantum information and spintronic applications, their high stability comes at the expense of optical accessibility. Breaking the symmetry by using magnetic and electric fields has been employed to hybridize dark and bright states thus making them optically active, but high-frequency and on-chip operation remains to be developed. Here we demonstrate the strain-induced coherent coupling of dark and bright exciton states in a GaAs mechanical resonator. The in-plane uniaxial strain breaks the rotational symmetry of the crystal, allowing the dark states to be optically accessible without any external fields. Such dark-bright coupling is tailored by the local strain distribution, which enables the coherent spin operation in the gigahertz regime and opens the way to on-chip excitonic quantum memories and circuits.

description: We compare the magnetic helicity in the 17-18 March 2013 interplanetary coronal mass ejection (ICME) flux-rope at 1 AU and in its solar counterpart. The progenitor coronal mass ejection (CME) erupted on 15 March 2013 from NOAA active region 11692 and associated with an M1.1 flare. We derive the source region reconnection flux using post-eruption arcade (PEA) method (Gopalswamy et al. 2017a) that uses the photospheric magnetogram and the area under the PEA. The geometrical properties of the near-Sun flux rope is obtained by forward-modeling of white-light CME observations. Combining the geometrical properties and the reconnection flux we extract the magnetic properties of the CME flux rope (Gopalswamy et al. 2017b). We derive the magnetic helicity of the flux rope using its magnetic and geometric properties obtained near the Sun and at 1 AU. We use a constant-α force-free cylindrical flux rope model fit to the in situ observations in order to derive the magnetic and geometric information of the 1-AU ICME. We find a good correspondence in both amplitude and sign of the helicity between the ICME and the CME assuming a semi-circular (half torus) ICME flux rope with a length of π AU. We find that about 83% of the total flux rope helicity at 1 AU is injected by the magnetic reconnection in the low corona. We discuss the effect of assuming flux rope length in the derived value of the magnetic helicity. This study connecting the helicity of magnetic flux ropes through the Sun-Earth system has important implications for the origin of helicity in the interplanetary medium and the topology of ICME flux ropes at 1 AU and hence their space weather consequences.

description: In this paper, we model two drivers which underlie the economic tradeoff shareholders face in designing incentives for optimal effort allocation by managers. The first driver is limited managerial attention, by which we mean that performing one task may have an adverse effect on the cost-efficiency of performing another. The second is the presence of a performance reporting task, by which we mean the manager’s ability to exert personally costly effort to improve the precision (or quality) of his/her performance measures. We show that the subtle interactions of the two drivers may alter the characteristics of incentive provision. First, we show the interaction may lead to a positive relation between the strength of the incentive and the variance of the performance measures. Second, the interaction may render an otherwise informative performance signal unused in equilibrium incentive contracts. In particular, we show that it is possible that the principal does not use the signal whose precision can be improved by the manager, in order to discourage the manager from diverting attention to the performance reporting task (which makes the productive effort more costly). Finally, we apply the model to a specific project-selection setting and show that in order to induce the agent to choose higher-risk-higher-return projects, the principal may need to raise the bonus rate when the project-selection choice is unobservable.

description: Given an intersection pattern of arbitrary sets in Euclidean space, is there an arrangement of convex open sets in Euclidean space that exhibits the same intersections? This question is combinatorial and topological in nature, but is motivated by neuroscience. Specifically, we are interested in a type of neuron called a place cell, which fires precisely when an organism is in a certain region, usually convex, called a place field. The earlier question, therefore, can be rephrased as follows: Which neural codes, that is, patterns of neural activity, can arise from a collection of convex open sets? To address this question, Giusti and Itskov proved that convex neural codes have no "local obstructions," which are defined via the topology of a code's simplicial complex. Codes without local obstructions are called locally good, because the obstruction precludes the code from encoding the intersections of open sets that form a good cover. In other words, every good-cover code is locally good. Here we prove the converse: Every locally good code is a good-cover code. We also prove that the good-cover decision problem is undecidable. Finally, we reveal a stronger type of local obstruction that prevents a code from being convex, and prove that the corresponding decision problem is NP-hard. Our proofs use combinatorial and topological methods.

description: n this paper, we show that within the set of stochastic three-period-lived OLG economies with productive assets (such as land), markets are necessarily sequentially incomplete, and agents in the model do not share risk optimally. We start by characterizing perfect risk-sharing and find that it requires state-dependent consumption claims which depend only on the exogenous shock realizations. We show then that the recursive competitive equilibrium of any overlapping generations economy with weakly more than three generations is not strongly stationary. This then allows us to show directly that there are short-run Pareto improvements possible in terms of risk-sharing and hence, that the recursive competitive equilibrium is not Pareto optimal. We then show that a financial reform which eliminates the equity asset and replaces it with zero net supply insurance contracts (Arrow securities) will implement to Pareto optimal stochastic steady-state known to exist in the model. Finally, we also show via numerical simulations that a system of government taxes and transfers can lead to a Pareto improvement over the competitive equilibrium in the model.

description: In patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) have been utilized as an alternative to warfarin, which is known to have several limitations. This study aimed to clarify the selection criteria for anticoagulants, considering both individual patient factors and the differences between various drugs. This study conducted a web-based questionnaire from September 20, 2023 to October 3, 2023, among physicians who were members of a cardiology-specific website. In total, 172 respondents were enrolled in this study. Edoxaban was the most frequently selected anticoagulant (39.1%), followed by apixaban (32.7%) and rivaroxaban (16.8%). Logistic regression analysis revealed that increased concern for adherence enhanced the frequency of selecting edoxaban (odds ratio [OR] = 2.42; p = 0.047), with the opposite trend observed for dabigatran (OR = 0.404; p = 0.029). The selection of apixaban is related to whether the patient is able to maintain a regular lifestyle, including adherence to medication schedules (OR = 1.874; p = 0.031). Furthermore, detailing activities from a medical representative, especially regarding a new indication, were found to influence drug selection for rivaroxaban (OR = 2.422; p = 0.047). This study revealed that edoxaban is the most frequently selected anticoagulant. Although prescribing cardiologists select drugs based on background factors, adherence to medication and information from medical representatives were also crucial factors in the selection process.

description: We consider a stochastic process in which independent identically distributed random matrices are multiplied and where the Lyapunov exponent of the product is positive. We continue multiplying the random matrices as long as the norm, $ε$, of the product is \emph{less} than unity. If the norm is greater than unity we reset the matrix to a multiple of the identity and then continue the multiplication. We address the problem of determining the probability density function of the norm, $P_ε$. We argue that, in the limit as $ε\to 0$, $P_ε\sim (\ln (1/ε))^με^γ$, where $μ$ and $γ$ are two real parameters. Our motivation for analysing this \emph{matrix contraction process} is that it serves as a model for describing the fine-structure of strange attractors, where a dense concentration of trajectories results from the differential of the flow being contracting in some region. We exhibit a matrix-product model for the differential of the flow in a random velocity field, and show that there is a phase transition, with the parameter $μ$ changing abruptly from $μ=0$ to $μ=-\frac{3}{2}$ as a parameter of the flow field model is varied.

description: To explore real-life use of the extemporaneous combination of nebivolol and valsartan (NV-EXC) in adult hypertensive patients in Europe. Retrospective analysis of patients starting NV-EXC treatment conducted using prescription databases in Italy, Germany, Hungary, and Poland. The selection period during which study patients were identified covered a time span ranging from 3 to 9 years (until 30 June 2020) according to availability of the different data sources. Patient demographics, clinical information, and treatment adherence, measured by proportion of days covered, were evaluated. Additionally, the potential eligibility of Italian patients for the single pill combination (SPC) of nebivolol and valsartan over a one-year period was estimated. The study included 170,682 patients initiating NV-EXC across the databases. Most patients were females (from 51 to 60%) and primarily aged over 60 years. Few patients received prescriptions of both available dosages of valsartan (80 and 160 mg) during follow-up (from 3.2 to 8.5%). Common comorbidities included dyslipidemia (19.2%) and diabetes (19.1%). Around 59.5% of patients did not require cardiologic visits during the study period. Adherence to NV-EXC, as indicated by the Italian database, was low in 53.3% of patients, with only 16.1% showing high adherence. The Italian database revealed 680 prevalent NV-EXC users in 2019, estimating a potential 30,222 adult patients eligible for the nebivolol/valsartan SPC. The combination of nebivolol and valsartan is frequently prescribed for hypertension, but adherence remains a challenge. A potential nebivolol/valsartan SPC holds promise in enhancing adherence and optimizing therapeutic outcomes for hypertension management.

description: In this paper, we study the chameleon profile in inhomogeneous density distributions and find that the fifth force in thin shell near the surface is weaker from what expected in homogeneous density distributions. Also, we check the validity of quasi-static approximation for the chameleon scalar field in the astrophysical time scales. We have investigated the rolling down behaviour of the scalar field on its effective potential inside a one solar mass red giant star by using MESA code. We have found that the scalar field is fast enough to follow the minimum of the potential. This adiabatic behaviour reduces the fifth force and extends the screened regions to lower densities where the field has smaller mass and was expected to be unscreened. As a consequence, the star evolution is similar to what expected from standard general relativity. In addition, considering the stability of star, an approximate constraint on the coupling constant $β$ is found.

description: To describe the clinical characteristics and treatment adherence in European adult hypertensive patients starting treatment with the extemporaneous combination of nebivolol and ramipril (NR-EXC). Retrospective database analysis of patients receiving NR-EXC treatment across five European countries (Italy, Germany, France, Poland, Hungary) over a period ranging from 3 to 9 years (until 30 June 2020) according to data availability for the different data sources. Patient demographics, comorbidities, and treatment adherence were evaluated. We identified 592,472 patients starting NR-EXC. Most of them were over 60 years of age, with ramipril most commonly prescribed at 5 mg (from 30.0 to 57.2% of patients across the databases). Notable comorbidities included diabetes (19.2%) and dyslipidemia (18.2%). The study population was also highly subjected to polytherapy with antithrombotics, lipid-lowering agents, and other lowering blood pressure agents as the most co-prescribed medications, as resulted from Italian database. Up to 59% of the patients did not request a cardiologic visit during the study period. Adherence to therapy was low in 56.3% of the patients, and it was high only in 11.1% of them. The combination of nebivolol and ramipril is frequently prescribed in Europe, but adherence to treatment is suboptimal. The transition to a single pill combination could enhance treatment adherence and streamline regimens, potentially leading to significant benefits. Improved adherence not only correlates with better blood pressure control but also reduces the risk of cardiovascular events, underscoring the importance of this development.

description: Cognitive radio (CR) is a key enabler realizing future networks to achieve higher spectral efficiency by allowing spectrum sharing between different wireless networks. It is important to explore whether spectrum access opportunities are available, but conventional CR based on transmitter (TX) sensing cannot be used to this end because the paired receiver (RX) may experience different levels of interference, according to the extent of their separation, blockages, and beam directions. To address this problem, this paper proposes a novel form of medium access control (MAC) termed sense-and-predict (SaP), whereby each secondary TX predicts the interference level at the RX based on the sensed interference at the TX; this can be quantified in terms of a spatial interference correlation between the two locations. Using stochastic geometry, the spatial interference correlation can be expressed in the form of a conditional coverage probability, such that the signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) at the RX is no less than a predetermined threshold given the sensed interference at the TX, defined as an opportunistic probability (OP). The secondary TX randomly accesses the spectrum depending on OP. We optimize the SaP framework to maximize the area spectral efficiencies (ASEs) of secondary networks while guaranteeing the service quality of the primary networks. Testbed experiments using USRP and MATLAB simulations show that SaP affords higher ASEs compared with CR without prediction.

I am grateful to have been spared the oil-energy view, the beef shortage view and other examples that I lump together as the worm's-eye view, or perhaps views, of inflation. The first fact to note is that neither economic theory nor evidence sustain anything like the number of separate and independent views of inflation represented on the program«

description: In recent years, the importance of holistic care in individuals with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) has been emphasized, and therefore a measurement tool that evaluates biopsychosocial impact is needed. This study was conducted to determine the validity, reliability, and responsiveness of the Cognitive Exercise Therapy Approach-Biopsychosocial Questionnaire (BETY-BQ) in individuals with SLE. Lupus Quality of Life (LupusQoL), Short Form-36 (SF-36), Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ), and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) were used for the validity. For reliability, evaluations were repeated at 1 -week intervals and for responsiveness, the same scales were re-administered at 3-month intervals to 30 patients. BETY-BQ showed moderate to high correlations with LupusQoL subparameters (rho = −0.522 to −0.718, p < 0.001), moderate to very high correlations with SF-36 subparameters (r = −0.826 to rho = 0.594, p < 0.001), high correlations with HAQ and HADS-D (rho = 0.735, p < 0.001; rho = 0.622, p < 0.001, respectively) and a moderate correlation with HADS-A (rho = 0.571, p < 0.001). In the test-retest method the correlation between the responses was very high (r = 0.989, p < 0.001). The intraclass correlation coefficient (r = 0.944, p < 0.001) and Cronbach’s alpha value were found to be excellent (0.952). BETY-BQ showed moderate correlations with LupusQoL subparameters (the body image r = −0.443, p = 0.014; planning rho = −0.529, p = 0.003; fatigue r = −0.484, p = 0.007; intimate relationships rho = −0.421, p = 0.02), SF-36 social function subparameter (rho = −0.427, p = 0.019) and anxiety and depression subparameter of HADS (rho = 0.418, p = 0.021; r = 0.507, p = 0.004, respectively). BETY-BQ which was found as a valid, reliable, and responsive scale in individuals with SLE, was presented to healthcare professionals for use in clinical and research studies as a scale that can be preferred in the evaluation of biopsychosocial status of individuals with SLE.

description: The rate of increase of consumer prices in the United States has fallen, gradually, from nearly 14% in mid-1974 to an average rate of about 6% for the past six months. Some further reduction in the average rate of inflation is likely to occur in 1976. Experience in the rest of the world covers a wide range. Some countries substantially reduced the rate of price increase; in others the rate of increase remained high. During the year 1975, consumer prices rose by more than 20% in Britain, by approximately 10% in France, Italy and Canada, and by 5% or less in Germany and Switzerland. Why are the rates of price increase in these countries so different? Why is inflation no longer proceeding at high or rising rates everywhere? Why have some countries succeeded in reducing inflation where others have failed?

description: The existence of a large population of Compton thick (CT, $N_{H}>10^{24} cm^{-2}$) AGN is a key ingredient of most Cosmic X-ray background synthesis models. However, direct identification of these sources, especially at high redshift, is difficult due to the flux suppression and complex spectral shape produced by CT obscuration. We explored the Chandra COSMOS Legacy point source catalog, comprising 1855 sources, to select via X-ray spectroscopy, a large sample of CT candidates at high redshift. Adopting a physical model to reproduce the toroidal absorber, and a Monte-Carlo sampling method, we selected 67 individual sources with >5% probability of being CT, in the redshift range $0.0410^{24} cm^{-2}$, gives a total of 41.9 effective CT, corrected for classification bias. We derive number counts in the 2-10 keV band in three redshift bins. The observed logN-logS is consistent with an increase of the intrinsic CT fraction ($f_{CT}$) from $\sim0.30$ to $\sim0.55$ from low to high redshift. When rescaled to a common luminosity (log(L$_{\rm X}$/erg/s)$=44.5$) we find an increase from $f_{CT}=0.19_{-0.06}^{+0.07}$ to $f_{CT}=0.30_{-0.08}^{+0.10}$ and $f_{CT}=0.49_{-0.11}^{+0.12}$ from low to high z. This evolution can be parametrized as $f_{CT}=0.11_{-0.04}^{+0.05}(1+z)^{1.11\pm0.13}$. Thanks to HST-ACS deep imaging, we find that the fraction of CT AGN in mergers/interacting systems increases with luminosity and redshift and is significantly higher than for non-CT AGN hosts.

description: We revise a recently proposed mechanism for spontaneous CP breaking at finite temperature in the Higgs sector of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, based on the contribution of squarks, charginos and neutralinos to the one-loop effective potential. We have included plasma effects for all bosons and added the contribution of neutral scalar and charged Higgses. While the former have little effect, the latter provides very strong extra constraints on the parameter space and change drastically the previous results. We find that CP can be spontaneously broken at the critical temperature of the electroweak phase transition without any fine-tuning in the parameter space.

description: The “American Century” is ending. After World War II, American power, inventiveness, creativity, and economic, military, and financial strength was unchallenged in a class by themselves. The United States proposed military and economic strategies to avoid war, contain the Soviet Union, and prevent a return to the destructive economic policies of the interwar years. The institutions that embodied and carried out these policies succeeded. They prevented a major war in Europe, ended the threat from the Soviet Union, opened most of the world economy to trade, fostered prosperity, expansion of economic activity, reductions in poverty, and increased economic and financial stability. More people in more places increased living standards, health, educational attainment, and longevity. That period is ending. The international institutions that sustained the successful policy no longer enjoy general acceptance. A large part of the U.S. electorate no longer supports the policy consensus that sustained the policies and contributed to its success.

description: Post-COVID-19 Condition (PCC) is a prevalent, persistent and debilitating phenomenon occurring three or more months after resolution of acute COVID-19 infection. Fatigue and depressive symptoms are commonly reported in PCC. We aimed to further characterize PCC by assessing the relationship between fatigue and depressive symptom severity in adults with PCC. A post hoc analysis was conducted on data retrieved from a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study evaluating vortioxetine for cognitive deficits in persons with PCC. We sought to determine the relationship between baseline fatigue [i.e. Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) total score] and baseline depressive symptom severity [i.e. 16-item Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology (QIDS-SR-16) total score] in adults with PCC. The statistical analysis included baseline data from 142 participants. After adjusting for age, sex, education, employment status, history of major depressive disorder (MDD) diagnosis, self-reported physical activity, history of documented acute SARS-CoV-2 infection and body mass index (BMI), baseline FSS was significantly correlated with baseline QIDS-SR-16 (β = 0.825, p = .001) In our sample, baseline measures of fatigue and depressive symptoms are correlated in persons living with PCC. Individuals presenting with PCC and fatigue should be screened for the presence and severity of depressive symptoms. Guideline-concordant care should be prescribed for individuals experiencing clinically significant depressive symptoms. Fatigue and depressive symptom severity scores were not pre-specified as primary objectives of the study. Multiple confounding factors (i.e. disturbance in sleep, anthropometrics and cognitive impairment) were not collected nor adjusted for in the analysis herein. Unrestricted Research Grant from H.

description: INCREASES in real income per man-hour are compounded of two parts: relative increases in capital and more efficient utilization of resources. Classical economic theory stressed the notion that higher levels of real income are generated by increasing the capital stock-the higher the level of capital, the higher the marginal revenue product of a worker and so the higher his real wages. Real wages might also be increased by an upward shift of the production function stemming from research that leads to better resource combinations, new techniques, etc. The latter is technological change. Much of the current interest in technological change centers around its relative importance as a determinant of higher real wages.

description: We explore the uses of ultracold molecules as a platform for future experiments in the field of quantum simulation, focusing on two molecular species, $^{40}$Ca$^{19}$F and $^{87}$Rb$^{133}$Cs. We report the development of coherent quantum state control using microwave fields in both molecular species; this is a crucial ingredient for many quantum simulation applications. We demonstrate proof-of-principle Ramsey interferometry measurements with fringe spacings of $\sim 1~\rm kHz$ and investigate the dephasing time of a superposition of $N=0$ and $N=1$ rotational states when the molecules are confined. For both molecules, we show that a judicious choice of molecular hyperfine states minimises the impact of spatially varying transition-frequency shifts across the trap. For magnetically trapped $^{40}$Ca$^{19}$F we use a magnetically insensitive transition and observe a coherence time of 0.61(3) ms. For optically trapped $^{87}$Rb$^{133}$Cs we exploit an avoided crossing in the AC Stark shift and observe a maximum coherence time of 0.75(6) ms.

description: With singly-tagged $\bar D$ samples selected from the data collected at and around 3.773 GeV with the BESII detector at the BEPC collider, we have measured the branching fractions for the inclusive $K^\pm$ decays of $D^+$ and $D^0$ mesons, which are $BF(D^+\to K^-X) = (24.7 \pm 1.3 \pm 1.2)%$, $BF(D^+\to K^+X) = (6.1 \pm 0.9 \pm 0.4) %$, $BF(D^0\to K^-X) = (57.8 \pm 1.6 \pm 3.2) %$ and $BF(D^0\to K^+X) = (3.5 \pm 0.7 \pm 0.3) %$, respectively. We have also measured the branching fractions for the inclusive semileptonic decays of $D^+$ and $D^0$ mesons to be $BF(D^+ \to e^+ X)=(15.2 \pm 0.9 \pm 0.8)%$ and $BF(D^0 \to e^+ X) =(6.3 \pm 0.7 \pm 0.4) %$. These yield the ratio of their partial widths to be $Γ(D^+ \to e^+X)/Γ(D^0 \to e^+X)=0.95 \pm 0.12 \pm 0.07$.

description: We analyse the propagation of electromagnetic waves in magnetoelectric media. Recently, Feigel has predicted that such a medium may ``extract momentum from vacuum" in the sense that the total momentum of the virtual waves (vacuum fluctuations of the electromagnetic field) is nontrivial. Our aim is to check the feasibility of this effect. The crucial point in our study is an assumption of the finite size of the magnetoelectric sample, which allows us to reduce the calculation of the momenta and forces of the electromagnetic waves acting on the sample to the vacuum region outside of the medium. In this framework, we demonstrate that, in contrast to Feigel, the total force caused by the virtual is zero, with an appropriate count of the modes that should be taken into account in this effect. Furthermore, we find that the two irreducible parts of the magnetoelectric matrix behave differently in the possible Feigel effect. Going beyond the original scheme of the virtual electromagnetic waves, we propose an experimental scheme which is suitable for the measurement of the magnetoelectric susceptibilities of the medium with the help of real electromagnetic waves.

On Maximum Entropy and Inference

description: Maximum Entropy is a powerful concept that entails a sharp separation between relevant and irrelevant variables. It is typically invoked in inference, once an assumption is made on what the relevant variables are, in order to estimate a model from data, that affords predictions on all other (dependent) variables. Conversely, maximum entropy can be invoked to retrieve the relevant variables (sufficient statistics) directly from the data, once a model is identified by Bayesian model selection. We explore this approach in the case of spin models with interactions of arbitrary order, and we discuss how relevant interactions can be inferred. In this perspective, the dimensionality of the inference problem is not set by the number of parameters in the model, but by the frequency distribution of the data. We illustrate the method showing its ability to recover the correct model in a few prototype cases and discuss its application on a real dataset.

description: Given a fully symmetric Banach function space $E$ and a decreasing positive weight $w$ on $I = (0, a)$, $0 < a \le \infty $, the generalized Lorentz space $Λ_{E,w}$ is defined as the symmetrization of the canonical copy $E_w$ of $E$ on the measure space associated with the weight. If $E$ is an Orlicz space then $Λ_{E,w}$ is an Orlicz-Lorentz space. An investigation of the Köthe duality of these classes is developed that is parallel to preceding works on Orlicz-Lorentz spaces. First a class of functions $M_{E,w}$, which does not need to be even a linear space, is similarly defined as the symmetrization of the space $w.E_w$. Let also $Q_{E,w}$ be the smallest fully symmetric Banach function space containing $M_{E,w}$. Then the Köthe dual of the class $M_{E,w}$ is identified as the Lorentz space $Λ_{E',w}$, while the Köthe dual of $Λ_{E,w}$ is $Q_{E',w}$. The space $Q_{E,w}$ is also characterized in terms of Halperin's level functions. These results are applied to concrete Banach function spaces. In particular the Köthe duality of Orlicz-Lorentz spaces is revisited at the light of the new results.

description: We investigate the phase diagram of a two-species Bose-Hubbard model including a conversion term, by which two particles from the first species can be converted into one particle of the second species, and vice-versa. The model can be related to ultra-cold atom experiments in which a Feshbach resonance produces long-lived bound states viewed as diatomic molecules. The model is solved exactly by means of Quantum Monte Carlo simulations. We show than an "inversion of population" occurs, depending on the parameters, where the second species becomes more numerous than the first species. The model also exhibits an exotic incompressible "Super-Mott" phase where the particles from both species can flow with signs of superfluidity, but without global supercurrent. We present two phase diagrams, one in the (chemical potential, conversion) plane, the other in the (chemical potential, detuning) plane.
