On Alternating-Time Temporal Logic, Hyperproperties, and Strategy Sharing
Creators: name: Beutner, Raven
name: Finkbeiner, Bernd
Publisher: name: CISPA
Year: 2024

description: Alternating-time temporal logic (ATL*) is a well-established framework for formal reasoning about multi-agent systems. However, while ATL* can reason about the strategic ability of agents (e.g., some coalition A can ensure that a goal is reached eventually), we cannot compare multiple strategic interactions, nor can we require multiple agents to follow the same strategy. For example, we cannot state that coalition A can reach a goal sooner (or more often) than some other coalition A'. In this paper, we propose HyperATL*_S, an extension of ATL* in which we can (1) compare the outcome of multiple strategic interactions w.r.t. a hyperproperty, i.e., a property that refers to multiple paths at the same time, and (2) enforce that some agents share the same strategy. We show that HyperATL*_S is a rich specification language that captures important AI-related properties that were out of reach of existing logics. We prove that model checking of HyperATL*_S on concurrent game structures is decidable. We implement our model-checking algorithm in a tool we call HyMASMC and evaluate it on a range of benchmarks.

description: Aims: To compare healthcare resource utilization and costs between patients aged 18–64 years with osteoarthritis (OA) and matched controls without OA in a privately insured population. Methods: Patients with OA were selected from de-identified US-based employer claims (Q1:1999–Q3:2011). The index date was defined as the first OA diagnosis indicated by ICD-9-CM codes. One year before and after the index date were defined as the baseline and study periods, respectively. A second OA diagnosis during the study period was also required. Patients with OA were matched one-to-one on age, gender, index date, and minimum length of follow-up to controls without OA. Baseline characteristics and study period resource utilization and costs (2016 USD) were compared between cohorts. Results: This study identified 199,539 patients with OA (knee: 87,271, hip: 19,953, hand: 15,670, spine: 12,496). The average age was 54 years, and 58% were female. OA patients had higher healthcare resource utilization than matched controls in inpatient, emergency room, and outpatient settings (p p Limitations: This sample, obtained using claims data, only includes patients who were actively seeking care for OA and were likely symptomatic. Asymptomatic patients would likely not be captured in this analysis. Conclusions: Patients with OA incur greater healthcare resource utilization and costs than patients without OA, with substantial variation by joint location.

description: We present a detailed theoretical study of the effects of structural disorder on LN photonic crystal slab cavities, ranging from short to long length scales, using a fully-3D Bloch mode expansion technique. We compute the optical density of states, quality factors and effective mode volumes of the cavity modes, with and without disorder, and compare with the localized modes of the corresponding disordered photonic crystal waveguide. We demonstrate how the quality factors and effective mode volumes saturate at a specific cavity length and become bounded by the corresponding values of the Anderson modes appearing in the disordered waveguide. By means of the intensity fluctuation criterion, we observe Anderson localization for cavity lengths larger than around L31, and show that the field confinement in the disordered LN cavities is mainly determined by the local characteristics of the structural disorder as long as the confinement region is far enough from the cavity mirrors and the effective mode localization length is much smaller than the cavity length; under this regime, the disordered cavity system becomes insensitive to changes in the cavity boundaries and a good agreement with the intensity fluctuation criterion is found for localization. Surprisingly, we find that the Anderson localized modes do not appear as new disorder-induced resonances in the main spectral region of the LN cavity modes, and, moreover, the disordered DOS enhancement is largest for the disordered waveguide system with the same length. These results are fundamentally interesting for applications such as lasing and cavity-QED, and provide new insights into the role of the boundary condition on finite-size slow-light waveguides. They also point out the clear failure of using models based on the cavity boundaries/mirrors and a single slow-light Bloch mode to describe cavity systems with large N.
Intrinsic non-commutativity of closed string theory

description: We show that the proper interpretation of the cocycle operators appearing in the physical vertex operators of compactified strings is that the closed string target is non-commutative. We track down the appearance of this non-commutativity to the Polyakov action of the flat closed string in the presence of translational monodromies (i.e., windings). In view of the unexpected nature of this result, we present detailed calculations from a variety of points of view, including a careful understanding of the consequences of mutual locality in the vertex operator algebra, as well as a detailed analysis of the symplectic structure of the Polyakov string. We also underscore why this non-commutativity was not emphasized previously in the existing literature. This non-commutativity can be thought of as a central extension of the zero-mode operator algebra, an effect set by the string length scale -- it is present even in trivial backgrounds. Clearly, this result indicates that the $α'\to 0$ limit is more subtle than usually assumed.

description: On a compact manifold $M$, we consider the affine space $A$ of non self-adjoint perturbations of some invertible elliptic operator acting on sections of some Hermitian bundle, by some differential operator of lower order. We construct and classify all complex analytic functions on the Fréchet space $A$ vanishing exactly over non invertible elements, having minimal order and which are obtained by local renormalizations, a concept coming from quantum field theory, called renormalized determinants. The additive group of local polynomial functionals of finite degrees acts freely and transitively on the space of renormalized determinants. We provide different representations of the renormalized determinants in terms of spectral zeta determinants, Gaussian Free Fields, infinite product and renormalized Feynman amplitudes in perturbation theory in position space à la Epstein-Glaser. Specializing to the case of Dirac operators coupled to vector potentials and reformulating our results in terms of determinant line bundles, we prove our renormalized determinants define some complex analytic trivializations of some holomorphic line bundle over $A$ relating our results to a conjectural picture from some unpublished notes by Quillen [52] from April 1989.

Catching a star before explosion: the luminous blue variable progenitor of SN 2015bh

description: In this paper we analyse the pre-explosion spectrum of SN2015bh by performing radiative transfer simulations using the CMFGEN code. This object has attracted significant attention due to its remarkable similarity to SN2009ip in both its pre- and post-explosion behaviour. They seem to belong to a class of events for which the fate as a genuine core-collapse supernova or a non-terminal explosion is still under debate. Our CMFGEN models suggest that the progenitor of SN2015bh had an effective temperature between 8700 and 10000 K, luminosity in the range ~ 1.8-4.74e6 Lsun, contained at least 25% H in mass at the surface, and half-solar Fe abundances. The results also show that the progenitor of SN 2015bh generated an extended wind with a mass-loss rate of ~ 6e-4 to 1.5e-3 Msun/yr and a velocity of 1000 km/s. We determined that the wind extended to at least 2.57e14 cm and lasted for at least 30 days prior to the observations, releasing 5e-5 Msun into the circumstellar medium. In analogy to 2009ip, we propose that this is the material that the explosive ejecta could interact at late epochs, perhaps producing observable signatures that can be probed with future observations. We conclude that the progenitor of SN 2015bh was most likely a warm luminous blue variable of at least 35 Msun before the explosion. Considering the high wind velocity, we cannot exclude the possibility that the progenitor was a Wolf-Rayet star that inflated just before the 2013 eruption, similar to HD5980 during its 1994 episode. If the star survived, late-time spectroscopy may reveal either a similar LBV or a Wolf-Rayet star, depending on the mass of the H envelope before the explosion. If the star exploded as a genuine SN, 2015bh would be a remarkable case of a successful explosion after black-hole formation in a star with a possible minimum mass 35 Msun at the pre-SN stage.

description: Tools for fighting cyber-criminal activities using new technologies are promoted and deployed every day. However, too often, they are unnecessarily complex and hard to use, requiring deep domain and technical knowledge. These characteristics often limit the engagement of law enforcement and end-users in these technologies that, despite their potential, remain misunderstood. For this reason, in this study, we describe our experience in combining learning and training methods and the potential benefits of gamification to enhance technology transfer and increase adult learning. In fact, in this case, participants are experienced practitioners in professions/industries that are exposed to terrorism financing (such as Law Enforcement Officers, Financial Investigation Officers, private investigators, etc.) We define training activities on different levels for increasing the exchange of information about new trends and criminal modus operandi among and within law enforcement agencies, intensifying cross-border cooperation and supporting efforts to combat and prevent terrorism funding activities. On the other hand, a game (hackathon) is designed to address realistic challenges related to the dark net, crypto assets, new payment systems and dark web marketplaces that could be used for terrorist activities. The entire methodology was evaluated using quizzes, contest results, and engagement metrics. In particular, training events show about 60% of participants complete the 11-week training course, while the Hackathon results, gathered in two pilot studies (Madrid and The Hague), show increasing expertise among the participants (progression in the achieved points on average). At the same time, more than 70% of participants positively evaluate the use of the gamification approach, and more than 85% of them consider the implemented Use Cases suitable for their investigations.

description: Complex electronic band structures, with multiple valleys or bands at the same or similar energies can be beneficial for thermoelectric performance, but the advantages can be offset by inter-valley and inter-band scattering. In this paper, we demonstrate how first-principles band structures coupled with recently developed techniques for rigorous simulation of electron-phonon scattering provide the capabilities to realistically assess the benefits and trade-offs associated with these materials. We illustrate the approach using n-type silicon as a model material and show that intervalley scattering is strong. This example shows that the convergence of valleys and bands can improve thermoelectric performance, but the magnitude of the improvement depends sensitively on the relative strengths of intra- and inter-valley electron scattering. Because anisotropy of the band structure also plays an important role, a measure of the benefit of band anisotropy in the presence of strong intervalley scattering is presented.

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

description: Understanding the role of the environment in shaping the evolution of life histories remains a major challenge in ecology and evolution. We synthesize longevity patterns of marine sessile species and find strong positive relationships between depth and maximum lifespan across multiple sessile marine taxa, including corals, bivalves, sponges and macroalgae. Using long-term demographic data on marine sessile and terrestrial plant species, we show that extreme longevity leads to strongly dampened population dynamics. We also used detailed analyses of Mediterranean red coral, with a maximum lifespan of 532 year, to explore the life-history patterns of long-lived taxa and the vulnerability to external mortality sources that these characteristics can create. Depth-related environmental gradients—including light, food availability, temperature and disturbance intensity—drive highly predictable distributions of life histories that, in turn, have predictable ecological consequences for the dynamics of natural populations.

description: A vector space partition of $\mathbb{F}_q^v$ is a collection of subspaces such that every non-zero vector is contained in a unique element. We improve a lower bound of Heden, in a subcase, on the number of elements of the smallest occurring dimension in a vector space partition. To this end, we introduce the notion of $q^r$-divisible sets of $k$-subspaces in $\mathbb{F}_q^v$. By geometric arguments we obtain non-existence results for these objects, which then imply the improved result of Heden.

description: The hybrid halide perovskites MAPbI$_{3}$, MAPbI$_{2.94}$Cl$_{0.06}$, and MAPbCl$_{3}$ (MA - methylammonium) have been investigated using inelastic and quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS) with the aim of elucidating the impact of chloride substitution on the rotational dynamics of MA. In this context, we discuss the influence of the inelastic neutron scattering caused by low-energy phonons on the QENS resulting from the MA rotational dynamics in MAPbI$_{3-x}$Cl$_{x}$. Through a comparative temperature-dependent QENS investigation with different energy resolutions, which allow a wide Fourier time window, we achieved a consistent description of the influence of chlorine substitution in MAPbI$_{3}$ on to the MA dynamics. Our results show that chlorine substitution in the low temperature orthorhombic phase leads to a weakening of the hydrogen bridge bonds since the characteristic relaxation times of C$_{3}$ rotation at 70 K in MAPbCl$_{3}$ (135 ps) and MAPbI$_{2.94}$Cl$_{0.06}$ (485 ps) are much shorter than in MAPbI$_{3}$ (1635 ps). For the orthorhombic phase, we obtained the activation energies from the temperature-dependent characteristic relaxation times $τ$C$_{3}$ by Arrhenius fits indicating lower values of E$_{a}$ for MAPbCl$_{3}$ and MAPbI$_{2.94}$Cl$_{0.06}$ compared to MAPbI$_{3}$. We also performed QENS analyses at 190 K for all three samples. Here we observed that MAPbCl$_{3}$ shows slower MA rotational dynamics than MAPbI$_{3}$ in the disordered structure.

A globalized and preconditioned Newton-CG solver for metric-aware curved high-order mesh optimization

description: We present a specific-purpose globalized and preconditioned Newton-CG solver to minimize a metric-aware curved high-order mesh distortion. The solver is specially devised to optimize curved high-order meshes for high polynomial degrees with a target metric featuring non-uniform sizing, high stretching ratios, and curved alignment -- exactly the features that stiffen the optimization problem. To this end, we consider two ingredients: a specific-purpose globalization and a specific-purpose Jacobi-$\text{iLDL}^{\text{T}}(0)$ preconditioning with varying accuracy and curvature tolerances (dynamic forcing terms) for the CG method. These improvements are critical in stiff problems because, without them, the large number of non-linear and linear iterations makes curved optimization impractical. Finally, to analyze the performance of our method, the results compare the specific-purpose solver with standard optimization methods. For this, we measure the matrix-vector products indicating the solver computational cost and the line-search iterations indicating the total amount of objective function evaluations. When we combine the globalization and the linear solver ingredients, we conclude that the specific-purpose Newton-CG solver reduces the total number of matrix-vector products by one order of magnitude. Moreover, the number of non-linear and line-search iterations is mainly smaller but of similar magnitude.

description: When considering the values which define heritage, aesthetic value is usually one of the most important, nearly always linked to the idea of work of art and to concepts such as beauty or harmony. Furthermore, aesthetics and politics tend to be dealt with separately. However, the link between aesthetics and politics is key in order to manage the meaning of those artefacts made with the intention of altering the political environment (political artefacts), particularly when they could be (or when they have already become) heritage. This paper puts forward the idea that in order to fully comprehend the social effects of political artefacts, their relationship with aesthetics must be understood. The function of aesthetics in modifying the meanings and connotations of heritage, when the latter is considered to be negative from a socio-political point of view, is also examined. In order to exemplify this relationship between aesthetics and politics, the resignification of the Valley of the Fallen (Valle de los Caídos), the most iconic and important Francoist memorial in Spain, is discussed.

description: The intricate interplay between optically dark and bright excitons governs the light-matter interaction in transition metal dichalcogenide monolayers. We have performed a detailed investigation of the "spin-forbidden" dark excitons in WSe2 monolayers by optical spectroscopy in an out-of-plane magnetic field Bz. In agreement with the theoretical predictions deduced from group theory analysis, magneto-photoluminescence experiments reveal a zero field splitting $δ=0.6 \pm 0.1$ meV between two dark exciton states. The low energy state being strictly dipole forbidden (perfectly dark) at Bz=0 while the upper state is partially coupled to light with z polarization ("grey" exciton). The first determination of the dark neutral exciton lifetime $τ_D$ in a transition metal dichalcogenide monolayer is obtained by time-resolved photoluminescence. We measure $τ_D \sim 110 \pm 10$ ps for the grey exciton state, i.e. two orders of magnitude longer than the radiative lifetime of the bright neutral exciton at T=12 K.

description: Current is a characteristic feature of nonequilibrium systems. In stochastic systems, these currents exhibit fluctuations constrained by the rate of dissipation in accordance with the recently discovered thermodynamic uncertainty relation. Here, we derive a conjugate uncertainty relationship for the first passage time to accumulate a fixed net current. More generally, we use the tools of large-deviation theory to simply connect current fluctuations and first passage time fluctuations in the limit of long times and large currents. With this connection, previously discovered symmetries and bounds on the large-deviation function for currents are readily transferred to first passage times.

description: We present a model of holographic dark energy in which the Infrared cutoff is determined by both the Ricci and the Gauss-Bonnet invariants. Such a construction has the significant advantage that the Infrared cutoff, and consequently the holographic dark energy density, does not depend on the future or the past evolution of the universe, but only on its current features, and moreover it is determined by invariants, whose role is fundamental in gravitational theories. We extract analytical solutions for the behavior of the dark energy density and equation-of-state parameters as functions of the redshift. These reveal the usual thermal history of the universe, with the sequence of radiation, matter and dark energy epochs, resulting in the future to a complete dark energy domination. The corresponding dark energy equation-of-state parameter can lie in the quintessence or phantom regime, or experience the phantom-divide crossing during the cosmological evolution, and its asymptotic value can be quintessence-like, phantom-like, or be exactly equal to the cosmological-constant value. Finally, we extract the constraints on the model parameters that arise from Big Bang Nucleosynthesis.

Grounding Spatial Relations in Text-Only Language Models

description: This paper shows that text-only Language Models (LM) can learn to ground spatial relations like "left of" or "below" if they are provided with explicit location information of objects and they are properly trained to leverage those locations. We perform experiments on a verbalized version of the Visual Spatial Reasoning (VSR) dataset, where images are coupled with textual statements which contain real or fake spatial relations between two objects of the image. We verbalize the images using an off-the-shelf object detector, adding location tokens to every object label to represent their bounding boxes in textual form. Given the small size of VSR, we do not observe any improvement when using locations, but pretraining the LM over a synthetic dataset automatically derived by us improves results significantly when using location tokens. We thus show that locations allow LMs to ground spatial relations, with our text-only LMs outperforming Vision-and-Language Models and setting the new state-of-the-art for the VSR dataset. Our analysis show that our text-only LMs can generalize beyond the relations seen in the synthetic dataset to some extent, learning also more useful information than that encoded in the spatial rules we used to create the synthetic dataset itself.

description: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a common retinal disease that leads to blindness. For diagnosis purposes, DR image grading aims to provide automatic DR grade classification, which is not addressed in conventional research methods of binary DR image classification. Small objects in the eye images, like lesions and microaneurysms, are essential to DR grading in medical imaging, but they could easily be influenced by other objects. To address these challenges, we propose a new deep learning architecture, called BiRA-Net, which combines the attention model for feature extraction and bilinear model for fine-grained classification. Furthermore, in considering the distance between different grades of different DR categories, we propose a new loss function, called grading loss, which leads to improved training convergence of the proposed approach. Experimental results are provided to demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed approach.

description: The Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) has been operating for more than 15 years as an international facility dedicated to advancing compelling multidisciplinary underground scientific research in rare-process physics, as well as offering research opportunities in other disciplines. SURF laboratory facilities include a Surface Campus as well as campuses at the 4850-foot level (1490 m, 4300 m.w.e.) that host a range of significant physics experiments, including the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) dark matter experiment and the MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR neutrinoless double-beta decay experiment. The CASPAR nuclear astrophysics accelerator completed the first phase of operation and is planning for the second phase beginning in 2024. SURF is also home to the Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility (LBNF) that will host the international Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE). SURF offers world-class service, including an ultralow background environment, low-background assay capabilities, and electroformed copper is produced at the facility. SURF is preparing to increase underground laboratory space. Plans are advancing for construction of new large caverns (nominally 100m L x 20m W x 24m H) on the 4850L (1485 m, 4100 m.w.e.) on the timeframe of next generation experiments (~2030). SURF plans to leverage existing advisory and community committees as well as engage the underground science community to inform plans for future laboratory space.

description: Note: In lieu of an abstract, this is an excerpt from the first page. Chemical Process Engineering A major focus of Processes will be chemical process engineering with applications to both traditional industries and emerging industries for renewable chemicals and energy production. The special issue begins with a data driven study on the optimization of chiller plants at the University of Texas at Austin, where the solution of a multi-period optimal loading problem is shown to reduce energy costs by 8.57% [1]. Also energy related, the second paper focuses on transport modeling of molecular sieve cobalt oxide silica membranes for hydrogen processing, and demonstrates that multi-tube membrane modules should be designed to maintain an appropriate driving force for hydrogen permeation [2]. The third paper addresses the emerging problem of biodiesel process design through the development and screening of a generic superstructure that captures all possible process alternatives based on available technology [3]. This topic area is completed with the fourth paper, which reports the viscosity and density of diesel fuels obtained from British refineries at elevated pressures up to 500 MPa and temperatures in the range 298 K to 373 K [4].

description: We perform three-dimensional radiation non-ideal magnetohydrodynamics simulations and investigate the impact of the Hall effect on the angular momentum evolution in the collapsing cloud cores in which the magnetic field $\magB$ and angular momentum $\angJ$ are misaligned with each other. We find that the Hall effect notably changes the magnetic torques in the pseudo-disk, and strengthens and weakens the magnetic braking in cores with an acute and obtuse relative angles between $\magB$ and $\angJ$, respectively. This suggests that the bimodal evolution of the disk size may occur in early disk evolutionary phase even if $\magB$ and $\angJ$ are randomly distributed. We show that a counter-rotating envelope form in the upper envelope of the pseudo-disk in cloud cores with obtuse relative angles. We also find that a counter-rotating region forms at the midplane of the pseudo-disk in cloud cores with acute relative angles. The former and latter types of counter-rotating envelopes may be associated with the YSOs with a large ($r\sim100$ AU) and small ($r\lesssim10$ AU) disks, respectively.

description: Given a finite, flat morphism between embeddable noetherian schemes of pure dimension 1, we define the notion of direct and inverse image for generalized divisors and generalized line bundles. In the case when we deal with (possibly reducible, non-reduced) projective curves over a field and the codomain curve is smooth, we introduce the compactified Jacobians parametrizing torsion-free rank-1 sheaves and we study the Norm and inverse image maps between compactified Jacobians. Finally, we introduce and study the Prym stack defined as the kernel of the Norm map.
