Deriving the Nonlinear Cosmological Power Spectrum and Bispectrum from Analytic Dark Matter Halo Profiles and Mass Functions

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We present an analytic model for the fully nonlinear power spectrum P and bispectrum Q of the cosmological mass density field. The model is based on physical properties of dark matter halos, with the three main model inputs being analytic halo density profiles, halo mass functions, and halo-halo spatial correlations, each of which has been well studied in the literature. We demonstrate that this new model can reproduce the power spectrum and bispectrum computed from cosmological simulations of both an n=-2 scale-free model and a low-density cold dark matter model. To enhance the dynamic range of these large simulations, we use the synthetic halo replacement technique of Ma & Fry (2000a), where the original halos with numerically softened cores are replaced by synthetic halos of realistic density profiles. At high wavenumbers, our model predicts a slope for the nonlinear power spectrum different from the often-used fitting formulas in the literature based on the stable clustering assumption. Our model also predicts a three-point amplitude Q that is scale dependent, in contrast to the popular hierarchical clustering assumption. This model provides a rapid way to compute the mass power spectrum and bispectrum over all length scales where the input halo properties are valid. It also provides a physical interpretation of the clustering properties of matter in the universe.

description: We provide a simple holographic description for a warped conformal field theory (WCFT) at finite temperature. To this end we study the counterpart of warped anti-de Sitter black holes in three dimensions using a lower-spin $\mathfrak{sl}(2,\mathbb{R})\oplus\mathfrak{u}(1)$ Chern-Simons theory proposed by Hofman and Rollier. We determine the asymptotic symmetries, thermal entropy and holographic entanglement entropy and show that all these quantities are in perfect agreement with the expectations from the dual WCFT perspective. In addition we provide a metric interpretation of our results which naturally fits with our analysis in the Chern-Simons formulation.

description: We consider a family of four-dimensional non-linear sigma models based on an O(5) symmetric group, whose fields take their values on the 4-sphere S4. An SO(4)-subgroup of the model is gauged. The solutions of the model are characterised by two distinct topological charges, the Chern-Pontryagin charge of the gauge field and the degree of the map, i.e. the winding number, of the S4 field. The one dimensional equations arising from the variation of the action density subjected to spherical symmetry are integrated numerically. Several properties of the solutions thus constructed are pointed out. The only solution with unit Chern-Pontryagin charge are the usual BPST instantons with zero S4 winding number, while solutions with unit S4 winding number have zero Chern-Pontryagin charge.

Quantum Communication Advantage in TFNP

Publisher: name: Apollo - University of Cambridge Repository
Year: 2025

description: We exhibit a total search problem whose communication complexity in the quantum SMP (simultaneous message passing) model is exponentially smaller than in the classical two-way randomized model. Moreover, the quantum protocol is computationally efficient and its solutions are classically verifiable, that is, the problem lies in the communication analogue of the class TFNP. Our problem is a bipartite version of a query complexity problem recently introduced by Yamakawa and Zhandry (JACM 2024). We prove the classical lower bound using the structure- vs-randomness paradigm for analyzing communication protocols.

description: Within international development [1], public health [2], and clinical medicine [3]–[5], there is increasing interest in determining whether cash payments or other economic incentives can be used to influence the choices and behavior of individuals and groups in order to promote desired health goals (Box 1). However, a number of complex issues affect the review and approval by research ethics committees (RECs) of research studying the effectiveness of using financial incentives to promote desired health goals. Current ethical and regulatory frameworks regard the provision of gifts or cash payments to participants in human research as potentially problematic. Specifically, these frameworks imply that such incentives may undermine the autonomy of participant choice, hinder the disclosure of medical information, exacerbate social inequalities, or result in the exploitation or degradation of vulnerable populations [6]–[9]. Typically, these frameworks provide guidance about payment to research participants to reimburse expenses, to compensate for time and effort, to provide insurance coverage, or as an incentive to participate in the research itself. However, the issue of payment as a component of the research intervention is relatively new. RECs thus lack explicit guidance about ethical issues surrounding research that evaluates the use of financial incentives as an intervention to promote health.

description: We present results from a comprehensive partial-wave analysis of pi+-p elastic scattering and charge-exchange data, covering the region from threshold to 2.1 GeV in the lab pion kinetic energy, employing a coupled-channel formalism to simultaneously fit pi-p\toηn data to 0.8 GeV. Our main result, solution FA02, utilizes a complete set of forward and fixed-t dispersion relation constraints, from threshold to 1 GeV, and from t = 0 to -0.4 (GeV/c)^2, applied to the piN elastic amplitude. A large number of systematic checks have been performed, including fits with no charge-exchange data and other database changes, fits with few or no dispersion relation constraints, and changes to the Coulomb correction scheme. We have also reexamined methods used to extract Breit-Wigner resonance parameters. The quality of fit to both data and dispersion relation constraints is superior to our earlier work. The results of these analyses are compared with previous solutions in terms of their resonance spectra and preferred values for couplings and low-energy parameters, including the piNN coupling constant.

description: Degradation and enclosure can change plant composition and soil properties, thereby alter soil microbial community, diversity and activity. This study used high-throughput sequencing and microplate fluorometric to determine the patterns of soil fungal community and extracellular enzyme activity (EEA) under degradation and restoration on the Tibetan Plateau. Three degradation (including: non-degraded, DN; moderately degraded, DM; and severely degraded, DS) and three enclosure (including: 5 years, EI; 10 years, EII; and 15 years, EIII) treatments were set up. DM and DS increased the species richness of fungi compared with DN. EI decreased the fungal diversity compared with DS while EII significantly increased it. DM significantly increased EEA while DS had no significant effect on any EEA compared to DN. EI decreased EEA (significant for βX), EII increased EEA (significant for βG) compared with DS while EIII had no significant effect. This variation of EEA among different degradation and enclosure treatments could be partially explained by soil properties and fungal community but had no relation with plant properties. The degradation could change soil fungi and extracellular enzyme activity and may adversely affect vegetation health in the alpine ecosystem. Enclosure could partially reverse these changes, but long-term field experiments are still needed.
Two-dimensional galaxy-galaxy lensing: a direct measure of the flattening and alignment of light and mass in galaxies

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We propose a new technique to directly measure the shapes of dark matter halos of galaxies using weak gravitational lensing. Extending the standard galaxy-galaxy lensing method, we show that the shape parameters of the mass distribution of foreground galaxies can be measured from the two-dimensional shear field derived from background galaxies. This enables the comparison of the ellipticity of the mass distribution with that of the light in galaxies, as well as an estimate of the degree of alignment between the stellar component and dark matter. We choose the specific case of an elliptical, isothermal profile and estimate the feasibility and significance of the detection of this signal. The prospects for applying this technique are excellent with large on-going surveys like the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. The expected signal is smaller, but comparable in significance to that of the mass in standard galaxy-galaxy lensing analyses. Since shapes of halos depend on the degree of dissipation and the transfer of angular momentum during galaxy assembly, constraints obtained from our analysis will provide an important input to models of galaxy formation.

description: The modeling of finite-extent semiconductor nanostructures that are embedded in a host material requires the numerical treatment of the boundary in a finite simulation domain. For the study of a self-assembled InAs dot embedded in GaAs, three kinds of boundary conditions are examined within the empirical tight-binding model: (i) the periodic boundary condition, (ii) raising the orbital energies of surface atoms, and (iii) raising the energies of dangling bonds at the surface. The periodic boundary condition requires a smooth boundary and consequently a larger GaAs buffer than the two nonperiodic boundary conditions. Between the nonperiodic conditions, the dangling-bond energy shift is more efficient than the orbital-energy shift, in terms of the elimination of nonphysical surface states in the middle of the gap. A dangling-bond energy shift bigger than 5 eV efficiently eliminates all of the mid-gap surface states and leads to interior states that are highly insensitive to the change of the energy shift.

description: We study five-dimensional solutions to Einstein equations coupled to a scalar field. Bounce-type solutions for the scalar field are associated with AdS_5 spaces with smooth warp functions. Gravitons are dynamically localized in this framework in analogy to the Randall-Sundrum solution whereas, a bulk fermion gives rise to a single chiral zero mode localized at the bounce. Additional bulk scalar fields are incorporated in this picture. The dilaton, as a bulk scalar leads, through its coupling, to localized gauge boson fields, something that holds also in the case that the bounce system is replaced by a brane.

The biennial ISIPTA meetings are well established among international conferences on generalized methods for uncertainty quantification. The first ISIPTA took place in Gent in 1999, followed by meetings in Cornell, Lugano, Carnegie Mellon, Prague, Durham and Innsbruck. Compiègne proved to be a very nice location for ISIPTA 2013, offering wonderful opportunities for collaborations and discussions, as well as sightseeing places such as its imperial palace.
Implementation of a principle-based parser : based on On-Line Locality Principle
Creators: name: Paolucci, Massimo
Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University
Year: 1994
Subjects: subject: Philosophy
subject: FOS: Philosophy, ethics and religion

description: Abstract: "In this paper I present a principle-based parser based on Pritchett's theory of human sentence processing. The parser proceeds bottom-up and at each step it attempts to maximally satisfy the principles of the grammar; specifically, the parser satisfies the maximal number of theta and case requirements. This strategy does not guarantee that the best local choice will be the best choice globally; therefore the parser is obliged to backtrack. The reanalysis process is constrained by the On- Line Locality Principle, which is responsible for the selection of the solution in points of abiguity. As a consequence the On-Line Locality Principle is responsible for failures of the revision process in the sense that the revision process may fail to recognize the grammatical structure of some sentences because of this constraint.The theory underlying the implementation guarantees that the revision process fails with all and only garden path sentences. When the failure of the revision process is caused by the On-Line Locality Principle the parser attempts to build a different structure that violates theOn- Line Locality Principle, but nevertheless satisfies the grammar. If such a structure is found, then the sentence is potentially a garden path and an appropriate message is given. With an extension of the revision process to NP-traces, some island violations can be seen asa side effect of the parsing process. Following this idea, island violations are a special kind of garden path involving traces instead ofopen NPs."

description: This paper investigates the re-use of highly precise equipment through the retrofitting of historical GPS choke ring antennas to accommodate Multi-GNSS systems. Specifically, it focuses on the former "reference" antenna of the International GNSS Service (IGS), the AOAD/M_T NONE antenna in a JPL 2d choke ring design, supported by the the GeoForschungsZentrum Potsdam (GFZ). The Institut für Erdmessung (IfE), a calibration institution certified by the International GNSS Service (IGS), had two different types of such antennas available: one delivered with the original Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) and retrofitted with the updated LNA, and another already equipped with the updated LNA. The IfE performed calibrations with both the original and retrofitted LNAs, providing legacy GPS L1/L2 calibrations and Multi-GNSS calibrations for broader variety of signals and frequencies. These calibrations are based on the robot calibration approach with a robot arm on a short baseline with common clock to reduce all external error sources. In this study, we present the different performance of the antenna with the retrofitted LNA based on Signal-to-Noise decrease functions, signal and frequency comparisons, variations in carrier phase, and analysis of code phase (group delays). Furthermore, we have performed an analysis on the basis of the pattern domain of PCC (Phase Center Corrections) and GDV (Group Delay Variations), as well as on the parameter domain, including positioning and other parameters such as clock corrections. Comprehensive performance analysis has been carried out to evaluate the effectiveness of such retrofitted antennas to also support Multi-GNSS systems. Additionally, we apply newly developed scalar measures for comparisons and performance analysis, providing a robust framework for assessing the suitability of retrofitted antennas for modern navigation needs. The findings shed light on the practical implications and technical considerations involved in adapting historical GPS choke ring antennas, emphasising responsible equipment re-use and performance optimisation in today's technological landscape.

description: The globular cluster ultraluminous X-ray source, RZ2109, is a complex and unique system which has been detected at X-ray, ultra-violet, and optical wavelengths. Based on almost 20 years of Chandra and XMM-Newton observations, the X-ray luminosity exhibits order-of-magnitude variability, with the peak flux lasting on the order of a few hours. We perform robust time series analysis on the archival X-ray observations and find that this variability is periodic on a timescale of 1.3 $\pm 0.04$ days. The source also demonstrates broad [OIII] 5007 Angstrom emission, which has been observed since 2004, suggesting a white dwarf donor and therefore an ultra-compact X-ray binary. We present new spectra from 2020 and 2022, marking eighteen years of observed [OIII] emission from this source. Meanwhile, we find that the globular cluster counterpart is unusually bright in the NUV/UVW2 band. Finally, we discuss RZ2109 in the context of the eccentric Kozai Lidov mechanism and show that the observed 1.3 day periodicity can be used to place constraints on the tertiary configuration, ranging from 20 minutes (for a 0.1 ${\rm M}_\odot$ companion) to approximately 95 minutes (for a 1 ${\rm M}_\odot$ companion), if the eccentric Kozai Lidov mechanism is at the origin of the periodic variability.

Human Rights, Needs, and Autonomy

Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Philosophy
subject: FOS: Philosophy, ethics and religion

description: All people have human rights and there is a close connection between human rights, needs, and autonomy. Accounting for this connection is difficult on many of the traditional rights theories. On many traditional theories, human rights protect individuals’ important interests. These theories are well suited to account for the fact that human rights protect individuals from dire need. Even the non-autonomous have some needs, which constitute some of their important interests. But because these theories sometimes say autonomy is not constitutive of the interests human rights protect they can fail to capture the close relationship between human rights and autonomy. On other traditional human rights theories, human rights only protect individuals’ autonomy. These theories avoid the problem sketched above. But, purely autonomy-based theories cannot explain the universality of rights -- some people lack autonomy. Furthermore, if human rights only protect individuals’ autonomy, human rights can be fulfilled and yet some can be left in dire need. So, some of the best known attempts to justify human rights either cannot appropriately connect human rights and autonomy or cannot account for the human right of all to meet their basic needs. This paper suggests that a theory on which human rights protect individuals’ ability to live minimally good lives should be taken seriously because it can avoid this dilemma. For, it argues, people need whatever will enable them to live such lives and autonomy is partly constitutive of such a life.

The same Skyrme interaction SLy6 is used supplemented by a density-dependent zero-range pairing force. This study supports the interpretation of spectra made on the grounds of more schematic models in terms of coexisting spherical, oblate, prolate and superdeformed prolate structures. The model qualitatively reproduces the variation of the spectra with neutron number. Our results for E0 and E2 transition probabilities are compared with the few existing experimental data. Finally, we predict the presence of superdeformed bands at low excitation energy in the most neutron-deficient isotopes.

description: The technique of chemical tagging uses the elemental abundances of stellar atmospheres to `reconstruct' chemically homogeneous star clusters that have long since dispersed. The GALAH spectroscopic survey --which aims to observe one million stars using the Anglo-Australian Telescope -- allows us to measure up to 30 elements or dimensions in the stellar chemical abundance space, many of which are not independent. How to find clustering reliably in a noisy high-dimensional space is a difficult problem that remains largely unsolved. Here we explore t-distributed stochastic neighbour embedding (t-SNE) -- which identifies an optimal mapping of a high-dimensional space into fewer dimensions -- whilst conserving the original clustering information. Typically, the projection is made to a 2D space to aid recognition of clusters by eye. We show that this method is a reliable tool for chemical tagging because it can: (i) resolve clustering in chemical space alone, (ii) recover known open and globular clusters with high efficiency and low contamination, and (iii) relate field stars to known clusters. t-SNE also provides a useful visualization of a high-dimensional space. We demonstrate the method on a dataset of 13 abundances measured in the spectra of 187,000 stars by the GALAH survey. We recover 7 of the 9 observed clusters (6 globular and 3 open clusters) in chemical space with minimal contamination from field stars and low numbers of outliers. With chemical tagging, we also identify two Pleiades supercluster members (which we confirm kinematically), one as far as 6$^\circ$ -- one tidal radius away from the cluster centre.

description: Aims. We analyze the properties of the sources in the NGC253 to define an up to date catalog of GC candidates in the galaxy. Methods. Our analysis is based on the science verification data of two ESO survey telescopes, VST and VISTA. Using ugri photometry from VST and JKs from VISTA, GC candidates were selected using the morpho-photometric and color properties of spectroscopically confirmed GCs available in the literature. The strength of the results was verified against available archival HST/ACS data from the GHOSTS survey. Results. The adopted GC selection leads to the definition of a sample of ~350 GC candidates. At visual inspection, we find that 82 objects match all the requirements for selecting GC candidates and 155 are flagged as uncertain GC candidate; 110 are unlikely GCs, most likely background galaxies. Furthermore, our analysis shows that four of the previously spectroscopically confirmed GCs, i.e., ~20% of the total spectroscopic sample, are more likely either background galaxies or high-velocity Milky Way stars. The radial density profile of the selected best candidates shows the typically observed r1/4-law radial profile. The analysis of the color distributions reveals only marginal evidence of the presence of color bimodality, which is normally observed in galaxies of similar luminosity. The GC luminosity function does not show the typical symmetry, mainly because of the lack of bright GCs. Part of the bright GCs missing might be at very large galactocentric distances or along the line of sight of the galaxy dusty disk. Conclusions. Using ugriJKs photometry we purged the list of GCs with spectroscopic membership and photometric GC candidates in NGC 253. Our results show that the use of either spectroscopic or photometric data only does not generally ensure a contaminant-free sample and a combination of both spectroscopy and photometry is preferred.

Anomalies in a slightly doped insulator with strong particle-hole asymmetry and narrow gap---the case for SmB$_6$?

description: SmB$_6$, known to be a Kondo insulator, has received intense scrutiny in recent years due to its paradoxical experimental signatures: while some quantities show an insulating behavior, others point to a metallic state. This has led to the conjecture that SmB$_6$ hosts nontrivial excitations within its bulk gap, and has spawned several theories to that effect. In principle, there exists an alternative possibility: the system is a metal but unusually with both metal- and insulator-like properties. Inspired by this possibility, I consider a minimal model of a Kondo insulator---a flat band hybridized with a parabolic band---that is slightly electron doped, i.e., the chemical potential is in the conduction band but close to the band edge. By calculating the dc conductivity, ac conductivity, specific heat, and quantum oscillations at the phenomenological level, I show that these quantities exhibit unusual behaviors that are, surprisingly, qualitatively consistent with those observed experimentally in SmB$_6$. The rapid change of band curvature around the chemical potential arising from the strong particle-hole asymmetry and the narrow gap in the model, a feature not usually encountered in the textbook cases of metals or insulators, is at the heart of the unusual behaviors.

Testing the multiple supernovae versus gamma-ray burst scenarios for giant HI supershells

description: The energy source of the giant HI supershells in nearby galaxies and in our own is still an unsettled issue. Proposed scenarios for production of near-complete ringlike supershells are multiple supernovae (SNe) and gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). In the late phase of evolution it is difficult to tell these models apart. We show that, if a supershell has been powered by multiple SNe, peculiar metal abundances should be found in the medium within the bubble. We present line diagnostics that could detect such unusual abundances, such as unusually high ratios of [O]/[Fe] and [Ne]/[Fe]. Among ions of the same element, a higher enhancement is expected in lines from a high-ionization state than in lines from a low-ionization state. Identification of the energy source of HI supershells would set strong constraints on the rates and energetics of GRBs, as well as on their location within a galaxy.

How To Do Things With an Infinte Regress

description: Scientific methods may be viewed as procedures for converging to the true answer to a given empirical question. Typically, such methods converge to the truth only if certain empirical presuppositions are satisfied, which raises the question whether the presuppositions are satisfied. Another scientific method can be applied to this empirical question, and so forth, occasioning an empirical regress. So there is an obvious question about the point of such a regress. This paper explains how to assess the methodological worth of a methodological regress by solving for the strongest sense of single-method performance that can be achieved given that such a regress exists. Several types of regresses are “collapsed” into corresponding concepts of single method performance in this sense. The idea bears on some other issues in the philosophy of science, including Popper’s falsificationism and its relationship to Duhem’s problem.
Two-dimensional array of magnetic particles: The role of an interaction cutoff

description: Based on theoretical results and simulations, in two-dimensional arrangements of a dense dipolar particle system, there are two relevant local dipole arrangements: (1) a ferromagnetic state with dipoles organized in a triangular lattice, and (2) an anti-ferromagnetic state with dipoles organized in a square lattice. In order to accelerate simulation algorithms we search for the possibility of cutting off the interaction potential. Simulations on a dipolar two-line system lead to the observation that the ferromagnetic state is much more sensitive to the interaction cutoff $R$ than the corresponding anti-ferromagnetic state. For $R \gtrsim 8$ (measured in particle diameters) there is no substantial change in the energetical balance of the ferromagnetic and anti-ferromagnetic state and the ferromagnetic state slightly dominates over the anti-ferromagnetic state, while the situation is changed rapidly for lower interaction cutoff values, leading to the disappearance of the ferromagnetic ground state. We studied the effect of bending ferromagnetic and anti-ferromagnetic two-line systems and we observed that the cutoff has a major impact on the energetical balance of the ferromagnetic and anti-ferromagnetic state for $R \lesssim 4$. Based on our results we argue that $R \approx 5$ is a reasonable choice for dipole-dipole interaction cutoff in two-dimensional dipolar hard sphere systems, if one is interested in local ordering.

description: We are developing two-dimensional 16 x 25 pixel detector arrays of both unstressed and stressed Ge:Ga photoconductive detectors for far-infrared astronomy from SOFIA. The arrays, based on earlier 5 x 5 detector arrays used on the KAO, will be for our new instrument, the Far Infrared Field Imaging Line Spectrometer (FIFI LS). The unstressed Ge:Ga detector array will cover the wavelength range from 40 to 120 microns, and the stressed Ge:Ga detector array from 120 to 210 microns. The detector arrays will be operated with multiplexed integrating amplifiers with cryogenic readout electronics located close to the detector arrays. The design of the stressed detector array and results of current measurements on several prototype 16 pixel linear arrays are reported. They demonstrate the feasibility of the current concept. ***This paper does not include Figures due to astro-ph size limitations.

Plum pudding random medium model of biological tissue toward remote microscopy from spectroscopic light scattering

description: Biological tissue has a complex structure and exhibits rich spectroscopic behavior. There is \emph{no} tissue model up to now able to account for the observed spectroscopy of tissue light scattering and its anisotropy. Here we present, \emph{for the first time}, a plum pudding random medium (PPRM) model for biological tissue which succinctly describes tissue as a superposition of distinctive scattering structures (plum) embedded inside a fractal continuous medium of background refractive index fluctuation (pudding). PPRM faithfully reproduces the wavelength dependence of tissue light scattering and attributes the "anomalous" trend in the anisotropy to the plum and the powerlaw dependence of the reduced scattering coefficient to the fractal scattering pudding. Most importantly, PPRM opens up a novel venue of quantifying the tissue architecture and microscopic structures on average from macroscopic probing of the bulk with scattered light alone without tissue excision. We demonstrate this potential by visualizing the fine microscopic structural alterations in breast tissue (adipose, glandular, fibrocystic, fibroadenoma, and ductal carcinoma) deduced from noncontact spectroscopic measurement.
