description: This paper is a follow-up to "Models of PT${}^-$ with internal induction for total formulae." We give a strenghtening of the main result on the semantical non-conservativity of the theory of PT${}^-$ with internal induction for total formulae (PT${}^- +$ INT(tot)). We show that if to PT${}^-$ the axiom of internal induction for all arithmetical formulae is added (PT${}^-$), then this theory is semantically stronger than PT${}^- +$ INT(tot). In particular the latter is not relatively truth definable (in the sense of Fujimoto) in the former. Last but not least we provide an axiomatic theory of truth which meets the requirements put forward by Fischer and Horsten in "The expressive power of truth."

The Empirical Saddlepoint Approximation for GMM Estimators
Creators: name: Fallaw Sowell
Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: 150399 Business and Management not elsewhere classified
subject: FOS: Economics and business

description: The empirical saddlepoint distribution provides an approximation to the sampling distributions for the GMM parameter estimates and the statistics that test the overidentifying restrictions. The empirical saddlepoint distribution permits asymmetry, non-normal tails, and multiple modes. If identification assumptions are satisfied, the empirical saddlepoint distribution converges to the familiar asymptotic normal distribution. In small sample Monte Carlo simulations, the empirical saddlepoint performs as well as, and often better than, the bootstrap. The formulas necessary to transform the GMM moment conditions to the estimation equations needed for the saddlepoint approximation are provided. Unlike the absolute errors associated with the asymptotic normal distributions and the bootstrap, the empirical saddlepoint has a relative error. The relative error leads to a more accurate approximation, particularly in the tails.
Enhanced PeerHunter: Detecting Peer-to-peer Botnets through Network-Flow Level Community Behavior Analysis

description: Peer-to-peer (P2P) botnets have become one of the major threats in network security for serving as the fundamental infrastructure for various cyber-crimes. More challenges are involved in the problem of detecting P2P botnets, despite a few work claimed to detect centralized botnets effectively. We propose Enhanced PeerHunter, a network-flow level community behavior analysis based system, to detect P2P botnets. Our system starts from a P2P network flow detection component. Then, it uses "mutual contacts" to cluster bots into communities. Finally, it uses network-flow level community behavior analysis to detect potential botnets. In the experimental evaluation, we propose two evasion attacks, where we assume the adversaries know our techniques in advance and attempt to evade our system by making the P2P bots mimic the behavior of legitimate P2P applications. Our results showed that Enhanced PeerHunter can obtain high detection rate with few false positives, and high robustness against the proposed attacks.

Testing a cosmological galaxy simulation with unsupervised machine learning
Creators: name: Turner, Sebastian
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: Simulations enables astrophysicists, usually limited to studying observations, to run numerical experiments and test their theories. Simulation results must, though, be tested against observations in order to check how realistic they are. Previous comparisons of galaxy simulations and observations have considered only one or two features at a time (e.g. GSMFs). Using clustering, an unsupervised machine learning technique, invites a comparison that considers more features at a time, so that all aspects of galaxy formation and evolution are captured concurrently. Our work represents the first time that simulations and observations have been compared in this way. We compare simulated and observed galaxies via the k-means clustering algorithm, evaluating the outcomes we find using stability. Simulated galaxies are taken from EAGLE, and observed galaxies from GAMA. We ensure a consistent selection of 5 features for both simulations and observations. We interpret the clusters we find in the context of theories of galaxy evolution.

description: A slight incompatibility in recent low-energy and high-energy α_s measurements can be interpreted as evidence for new light colour degrees of freedom. Assuming that these are the gluinos of a supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model, we investigate to what extent they change the standard QCD predictions for deep inelastic structure functions, and in particular whether thay can be detected in such measurements at HERA. We present a modified set of parton distributions which includes a light gluino distribution and which can be used for further phenomenological investigations.

description: A state of an open quantum system is described by a density matrix, whose dynamics is governed by a Liouvillian superoperator. Within a general framework, we explore fundamental properties of both first-order dissipative phase transitions and second-order dissipative phase transitions associated with a symmetry breaking. In the critical region, we determine the general form of the steady-state density matrix and of the Liouvillian eigenmatrix whose eigenvalue defines the Liouvillian spectral gap. We illustrate our exact results by studying some paradigmatic quantum optical models exhibiting critical behavior.

description: In this work, we discuss connections between different theoretical physics communities and their works, all related to systems that act as sources of particles such as photons, phonons, or electrons. Our interest is to understand how a low-dimensional quantum system driven by coherent fields, e.g. a two-level system, Jaynes-Cummings system, or photon pair source driven by a laser pulse, emits photons into a waveguide. Of particular relevance to solid-state sources is that we provide a way to include dissipation into the formalism for temporal-mode quantum optics. We will discuss the connections between temporal-mode quantum optics, scattering matrices, quantum stochastic calculus, continuous matrix product states and operators, and very traditional quantum optical concepts such as the Mandel photon counting formula and the Lindblad form of the quantum-optical master equation. We close with an example of how our formalism relates to single-photon sources with dephasing.
A new singularity theorem for black holes which allows chronology violation in the interior
Creators: name: Lesourd, Martin
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The interior of the Kerr solution is singular and achronological. The classic singularity theorem by Hawking and Penrose relies on chronology, and thus does not apply to the Kerr solution. An improvement of their theorem by Kriele partially removes the requirement of chronology. However, both of these singularity theorems fail to give any information on the type or location of the incomplete geodesics. Here, using recent results of Minguzzi, we prove a new singularity theorem, specifically designed to apply to black holes, which enables locating null incomplete geodesics within the black hole interior, all the while allowing certain forms of chronology violation in the interior.

description: The universal enveloping algebra of any simple Lie algebra g contains a family of commutative subalgebras, called the quantum shift of argument subalgebras math.RT/0606380, math.QA/0612798. We prove that generically their action on finite-dimensional modules is diagonalizable and their joint spectra are in bijection with the set of monodromy-free opers for the Langlands dual group of G on the projective line with regular singularity at one point and irregular singularity of order two at another point. We also prove a multi-point generalization of this result, describing the spectra of commuting Hamiltonians in Gaudin models with irregular singulairity. In addition, we show that the quantum shift of argument subalgebra corresponding to a regular nilpotent element of g has a cyclic vector in any irreducible finite-dimensional g-module. As a byproduct, we obtain the structure of a Gorenstein ring on any such module. This fact may have geometric significance related to the intersection cohomology of Schubert varieties in the affine Grassmannian.

The phase diagram of similar models with continuous symmetry were extensively studied in the infinite scalar self coupling $λ=\infty$ limit. Recent analytical and numerical calculations at zero self coupling showed qualitatively different phase diagram, raising the question of the $λ$ dependence of the phase diagram. Here we use analytical (large $N_f$, perturbative and mean field) approximations as well as numerical simulations to investigate the system.

description: We report on simulations of two-dimensional turbulence in the inverse energy cascade regime. Focusing on the statistics of Lagrangian tracer particles, scaling behavior of the probability density functions of velocity fluctuations is investigated. The results are compared to the three-dimensional case. In particular an analysis in terms of compensated cumulants reveals the transition from a strong non-Gaussian behavior with large tails to Gaussianity. The reported computation of correlation functions for the acceleration components sheds light on the underlying dynamics of the tracer particles.

description: We explore thick branes in $f(R,ϕ,X)$ gravity. We obtain the linear tensor perturbation equation of $f(R,ϕ,X)$ branes and show that the branes are stable against the tensor perturbations under the condition of $\frac{\partial f(R,ϕ,X)}{\partial R}>0$. In order to obtain thick brane solutions of the fourth-order field equations in this theory, we employ the reconstruction technique. We get exact solutions of the specific $f(R,ϕ,X)$ thick brane generated by a non-canonical scalar field. It is shown that the zero mode of the graviton for the thick brane is localized under certain conditions. This implies that the four-dimensional Newtonian potential is recovered on the brane. The effects of the Kaluza-Klein modes of the graviton for the $f(R,ϕ,X)$ thick brane are also discussed.

description: Context. The radiative losses in the solar chromosphere vary from 4~kW~m$^{-2}$ in the quiet Sun, to 20~kW~m$^{-2}$ in active regions. The mechanisms that transport non-thermal energy to and deposit it in the chromosphere are still not understood. Aims. We aim to investigate the atmospheric structure and heating of the solar chromosphere in an emerging flux region. Methods. We use observations taken with the CHROMIS and CRISP instruments on the Swedish 1-m Solar Telescope in the Ca II K, Ca II 854.2 nm, H$α$, and Fe I 630.1 nm and 630.2 nm lines. We analyse the various line profiles and in addition perform multi-line, multi-species, non-Local Thermodynamic Equilibrium (non-LTE) inversions to estimate the spatial and temporal variation of the chromospheric structure. Results. We investigate which spectral features of Ca II K contribute to the frequency-integrated Ca II K brightness, which we use as a tracer of chromospheric radiative losses. The majority of the radiative losses are not associated with localized high-Ca II K-brightness events, but instead with a more gentle, spatially extended, and persistent heating. The frequency-integrated Ca II K brightness correlates strongly with the total linear polarization in the Ca II 854.2 nm line, while the Ca II K profile shapes indicate that the bulk of the radiative losses occur in the lower chromosphere. Non-LTE inversions indicate a transition from heating concentrated around photospheric magnetic elements below $\log{τ_{500}} =-3$ to a more space-filling and time-persistent heating above $\log{τ_{500}} =-4$. The inferred gas temperature at $\log{τ_{500}} =-3.8$ correlates strongly with the total linear polarization in the Ca II 854.2 nm line, suggesting that that the heating rate correlates with the strength of the horizontal magnetic field in the low chromosphere.

The effects of team strategic orientation on team process and information search

description: We tested the effects of team strategic orientation on team member perceptions, work strategy and information search. In Experiment 1, 80 teams worked on a hidden profile decision-making task. A defensive team strategic orientation increased members’ perceptions of the problem’s scope, leading to a more process- focused work strategy and broader information search compared to an offensive team strategic orientation. When teams needed critical information from the environment, defensive teams outperformed offensive teams; offensive teams performed better when critical information resided within the team. In Experiment 2, these findings were replicated with 92 teams performing a different decision task. When making a second decision, half of the teams were led to change their strategic orientation; teams shifting from offense to defense altered their information search behavior more readily than did teams shifting in the opposite direction, suggesting an asymmetric adaptation effect.

description: We update the online SpectroWeb database of spectral standard reference stars with 1178 oscillator strength values of atomic absorption lines observed in the optical spectrum of the Sun and Procyon (Alpha CMi A). The updated line oscillator strengths are measured with best fits to the disk-integrated KPNO-FTS spectrum of the Sun observed between 4000 A and 6800 A using state-of-the-art detailed spectral synthesis calculations. A subset of 660 line oscillator strengths is validated with synthetic spectrum calculations of Procyon observed with ESO-UVES between 4700 A and 6800 A. The new log(gf)-values in SpectroWeb are improved over the values offered in the online Vienna Atomic Line Database (VALD). We find for neutral iron-group elements, such as Fe I, Ni I, Cr I, and Ti I, a statistically significant over-estimation of the VALD log(gf)-values for weak absorption lines with normalized central line depths below 15 %. For abundant lighter elements (e.g. Mg I and Ca I) this trend is statistically not significantly detectable, with the exception of Si I for which the log(gf)-values of 60 weak and medium-strong lines are substantially decreased to best fit the observed spectra. The newly measured log(gf)-values are available in the SpectroWeb database at http://spectra.freeshell.org which interactively displays the observed and computed stellar spectra, together with corresponding atomic line data.

Can Early Dark Energy Explain EDGES?

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics (astro-ph.CO)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The Experiment to Detect the Global Epoch of Reionization Signature (EDGES) collaboration has reported the detection of an absorption feature in the sky-averaged spectrum at $\approx 78$ MHz. This signal has been interpreted as the absorption of cosmic microwave background (CMB) photons at redshifts $15 \lesssim z \lesssim 20$ by the 21cm hyperfine transition of neutral hydrogen, whose temperature is expected to be coupled to the gas temperature by the Wouthuysen-Field effect during this epoch. Because the gas is colder than the CMB, the 21cm signal is seen in absorption. However, the absorption depth reported by EDGES is more than twice the maximal value expected in the standard cosmological model, at $\approx 3.8σ$ significance. Here, we propose an explanation for this depth based on "early dark energy" (EDE), a scenario in which an additional component with equation of state $w=-1$ contributes to the cosmological energy density at early times, before decaying rapidly at a critical redshift, $z_c$. For $20 \lesssim z_c \lesssim 1000$, the accelerated expansion due to the EDE can produce an earlier decoupling of the gas temperature from the radiation temperature than that in the standard model, giving the gas additional time to cool adiabatically before the first luminous sources form. We show that the EDE scenario can successfully explain the large amplitude of the EDGES signal. However, such models are strongly ruled out by observations of the CMB temperature power spectrum. Moreover, the EDE models needed to explain the EDGES signal exacerbate the current tension in low- and high-redshift measurements of the Hubble constant. We conclude that non-finely-tuned modifications of the background cosmology are unlikely to explain the EDGES signal while remaining consistent with other cosmological observations.

description:
This proposal addresses the critical necessity for Affordable and Healthy Housing in Granville and Vance counties, North Carolina, a wicked problem within the "Neighborhood and
Built Environment" domain of the Social Determinants of Health. Previous studies found that 17% of residents in Granville and Vance counties endured a variation of housing insecurity between 2014 and 2018 (Johnson et al., 2022). Housing problems included overcrowding, poor infrastructure, and cost-burden rents.


This proposal presents systemic barriers, identifies a steering committee of diverse partners, and analyzes current policies to address fixes that backfired in the Fair Housing Act and Tenant-Based Rental Assistance initiative. We used a comprehensive systems approach to analyze the interactions between structural, social, and policy factors that reinforce housing insecurity.

description: Following Symanzik we argue that the Schrödinger functional in lattice gauge theories without matter fields has a well-defined continuum limit. Due to gauge invariance no extra counter terms are required. The Schrödinger functional is, moreover, accessible to numerical simulations. It may hence be used to study the scaling properties of the theory and in particular the evolution of the renormalized gauge coupling from low to high energies. A concrete proposition along this line is made and the necessary perturbative analysis of the Schrödinger functional is carried through to 1-loop order.

description: Proper understanding of the effects on the instruments of monetary policy of changes in the technology of making and receiving payments has been marred by failure to observe three distinctions. One is the distinction between changes in technology that overcome regulatory and legal restrictions and changes that would occur in the absence of these restrictions. A second distinction is between money and credit, or more properly the distinction between technical changes or innovations that increase borrowing and lending and innovations that change the demand for and supply of money. A third distinction is between the immediate or impact effect on a particular type of institution and the full equilibrium effect on the economy. In this section, I discuss the first of these issues. The following sections distinguish between money and credit and analyze the impact and final effect of innovation on both money and credit.

description: We explore four different strategies to extract the D-meson semileptonic decay form factors from the Green functions computed in QCD numerically on the lattice. From our numerical tests we find that two such strategies, based on the use of double ratios of 3-point correlation functions, lead to an appreciable reduction of systematic uncertainties. This is an important step in reducing the overall uncertainty in the lattice QCD results for the D-decay form factors which are needed to determine the CKM entries |Vcd| and |Vcs| experimentally, that are nowadays known by imposing the unitarity of the CKM matrix.

description: In this study, I examine the effects of corruption on patterns of relations in a well-known case of organizational crime. By contrasting corrupt and non-corrupt projects within an organization, I am able to examine how fraudulent endeavors alter the way individuals mobilize to accomplish a goal. This study examines longitudinal data and couples qualitative coding techniques with social network analysis to understand the effects of corruption on social structure. In contrast to non-corrupt projects, corrupt networks have lower connectivity, fewer reciprocal relations, and communicate less frequently. These different patterns also hold for between- and within-subject studies. For individuals, corrupt communications, as compared to non-corrupt communications, are less frequent, less likely to be reciprocated, and have reduced transitivity, meaning that message recipients are not as likely to share a communication link. This study highlights the role of content in understanding the emergent properties of communication networks.

description: A fundamental marketing problem faced by auctioneers is the promotion of their auction in order to recruit bidders. Merchants would like to attract as many bidders as possible to an auction, since the higher the number of bidders, the higher the expected winning price and profitability. This suggests that an intense advertising campaign that raises awareness for the largest possible customer base would be desirable. However, from a customer’s viewpoint a large number of competing bidders decreases the perceived chance of winning, which subsequently deters the customer from participating in future auctions. In this paper we examine this tradeoff between the auctioneers’ desire to expand their customer base and the bidders’ desire for attractive values. We model the entry decision of consumers based on their expected gains from participating in the auction and derive the auctioneer’s optimal advertising policy. Our results suggest that controlling growth by limiting advertising spending can encourage consumer retention and increase an auctioneer’s long term profitability.
The Infrared Structure of Nambu-Goldstone Bosons

description: The construction of effective actions for Nambu-Goldstone bosons, and the nonlinear sigma model, usually requires a target coset space $G/H$. Recent progresses uncovered a new formulation using only IR data, without reference to $G/H$, by imposing the Adler's zero condition, which can be seen to originate from the superselection rule in the space of degenerate vacua. The IR construction imposes a nonlinear shift symmetry on the Lagrangian to enforce the correct single soft limit amid constraints of the unbroken group $H$. We present a systematic study on the consequence of the Adler's zero condition in correlators of nonlinear sigma model, by deriving the conserved current and the Ward identity associated with the nonlinear shift symmetry, and demonstrate how the old-fashioned current algebra emerges. The Ward identity leads to a new representation of on-shell amplitudes, which amounts to bootstrapping the higher point amplitudes from lower point amplitudes and adding new vertices to satisfy the Adler's condition. The IR perspective allows one to extract Feynman rules for the mysterious extended theory of biadjoint cubic scalars residing in the subleading single soft limit, which was first discovered using the Cachazo-He-Yuan representation of scattering amplitudes. In addition, we present the subleading triple soft theorem in the nonlinear sigma model and show that it is also controlled by on-shell amplitudes of the same extended theory as in the subleading single soft limit.

description: The pp -> {pp}_s pi0 differential cross section has been measured with the ANKE spectrometer at COSY-Juelich for seven proton beam energies T_p between 0.5 and 1.97 GeV. By selecting proton pairs with an excitation energy of less than 3 MeV it is ensured that the final {pp}_s system is in the 1S0 state. In the measured region of theta_{pp}^{cm} < 18 deg, the data reveal a forward dip for T_p =< 1.4 GeV whereas a forward peaking is seen at 1.97 GeV. The energy dependence of the forward cross section shows a broad peak in the 0.6-0.8 GeV region, probably associated with Delta(1232) excitation, and a minimum at 1.4 GeV. Some of these features are similar to those observed for the spin-isospin partner reaction, pp -> d pi+. However, the ratio of the forward differential cross sections of the two reactions shows a significant suppression of single pion production associated with a spin--singlet final nucleon pair.

description: We establish a macroscopic description of the splay--density coupling in semiflexible main-chain nematic polymers with hairpins, using a vectorial continuity constraint for the "recovered" polar order of the chain tangents and introducing chain backfolds (hairpins) as its new type of sources besides chain ends. We treat both types of sources on a unified basis as a mixture of two ideal gases with fixed composition. Performing detailed Monte Carlo simulations of nematic monodomain melts of "soft" worm-like chains with variable length and flexibility, we show via their structure factors that the chain backfolding weakens the splay--density coupling, and demonstrate how this weakening can be consistently quantified on the macroscopic level. We also probe and discuss the deviations from the noninteracting gas idealization of the chain ends and backfolds.

description: We evaluate the predictive power of the neutrino mass matrices arising from seesaw mechanism with heavy Majorana mass matrices subject to texture zero and satisfy a cyclic permutation invariant form to the solar neutrino mixing phenomena. From eight possible patterns of heavy Majorana neutrino mass matrix, we found that there is no heavy Majorana neutrino mass matrix to be invariant in form under a cyclic permutation. But, by imposing an additional assumption that at least one of the 2x2 sub-matrices of heavy Majorana neutrino mass matrix inverse having zero determinant, we found that only two of the eight possible patterns for heavy Majorana neutrino mass matrices to be invariant under a cyclic permutation. One of the two invariant heavy Majorana neutrino mass matrices could produces neutrino mass matrix $M_ν$ that can be used to explain the neutrino mixing phenomena for both solar and atmospheric neutrinos qualitatively.

New Signals for Gluinos and Squarks of Supergravity at the Tevatron Collider

description: Within the supergravity framework, sleptons are expected to be considerably lighter than squarks if gluinos and squarks are approximately degenerate. This can lead to a significant enhancement in leptonic branching ratio for neutralinos, and sometimes, charginos. Using ISAJET 7.0/ISASUSY 1.0, we evaluate the multilepton signals from cascade decays of gluinos and squarks produced at the Fermilab Tevatron $p\bar p$ collider assuming squark and slepton masses are related as in supergravity models. We find observable cross sections for spectacular event topologies: $m$-lepton + $n$-jet + $\eslt$ events ($m \leq 4$, $n \geq 2$) and same-sign dilepton + $\eslt$ events and show that the SM backgrounds to the isolated trilepton, four lepton and same-sign dilepton signals are very small. These signals can extend the mass reach of the Tevatron experiments to $m_{\tg}\sim 300$~GeV if $m_{\tg}\sim m_{\tq}$ and ${\cal O}(1000)$ pb$^{-1}$ of data are collected.

description: Symbolic calculators like Mathematica are becoming more commonplace among upper level physics students. The presence of such a powerful calculator can couple strongly to the type of mathematical reasoning students employ. It does not merely offer a convenient way to perform the computations students would have otherwise wanted to do by hand. This paper presents examples from the work of upper level physics majors where Mathematica plays an active role in focusing and sustaining their thought around calculation. These students still engage in powerful mathematical reasoning while they calculate but struggle because of the narrowed breadth of their thinking. Their reasoning is drawn into local attractors where they look to calculation schemes to resolve questions instead of, for example, mapping the mathematics to the physical system at hand. We model the influence of Mathematica as an integral part of the constant feedback that occurs in how students frame, and hence focus, their work.
