description: Based on the work of OPAL (Iglesias & Rogers 1996) and Alexander & Ferguson (1994), we construct a series of opacity tables for various metallicities Z=0, 0.00001, 0.00003, 0.0001, 0.0003, 0.001, 0.004, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04, 0.05, 0.06, 0.08 and 0.1. These tables can be easily used in Eggleton's stellar evolution code in place of the old tables without changing the code. The OPAL tables are used for ${\log}_{10}(T/{\rm K})> 3.95$ and Alexander's for ${\log}_{10}(T/{\rm K})< 3.95$. At ${\rm log}_{10}(T/{\rm K})=3.95$, the two groups' data fit well for all hydrogen mass fractions. Conductive opacities are included by reciprocal addition according to the formulae of Yakovlev & Urpin (1980). For different metallicities $1M_\odot$ models are constructed with the new opacity tables. Comparison of 1 and $5M\odot$ models constructed with the older OPAL tables (Iglesias & Rogers 1992) shows that the new opacities have most effect in the late stages of evolution, the extension of the blue loop during helium burning for intermediate-mass and massive stars.

description: S-folds are a non-perturbative generalization of orientifold 3-planes which figure prominently in the construction of 4D $\mathcal{N} = 3$ SCFTs and have also recently been used to realize examples of 4D $\mathcal{N} = 2$ SCFTs. In this paper we develop a general procedure for reading off the flavor symmetry experienced by D3-branes probing 7-branes in the presence of an S-fold. We develop an S-fold generalization of orientifold projection which applies to non-perturbative string junctions. This procedure leads to a different 4D flavor symmetry algebra depending on whether the S-fold supports discrete torsion. We also show that this same procedure allows us to read off admissible representations of the flavor symmetry in the associated 4D $\mathcal{N} = 2$ SCFTs. Furthermore this provides a prescription for how to define F-theory in the presence of S-folds with discrete torsion.

description: We propose a general technique to solve the classical many-body problem with radiative damping. We modify the short-distance structure of Maxwell electrodynamics. This allows us to avoid runaway solutions as if we had a covariant model of extended particles. The resulting equations of motion are functional differential equations (FDEs) rather than ordinary differential equations. Using recently developed numerical techniques for stiff FDEs, we solve these equations for the one-body central force problem with radiative damping with a view to benchmark our new approach. Our results indicate that locally the magnitude of radiation damping may be well approximated by the standard third-order expression but the global properties of our solutions are dramatically different. We comment on the two body problem and applications to quantum field theory and quantum mechanics.

Curvature profiles for quantum gravity

description: Building on the recently introduced notion of quantum Ricci curvature and motivated by considerations in nonperturbative quantum gravity, we advocate a new, global observable for curved metric spaces, the curvature profile. It is obtained by integrating the scale-dependent, quasi-local quantum Ricci curvature, and therefore also depends on a coarse-graining scale. To understand how the distribution of local, Gaussian curvature is reflected in the curvature profile, we compute it on a class of regular polygons with isolated conical singularities. We focus on the case of the tetrahedron, for which we have a good computational control of its geodesics, and compare its curvature profile to that of a smooth sphere. The two are distinct, but qualitatively similar, which confirms that the curvature profile has averaging properties which are interesting from a quantum point of view.

A New Light-Speed Anisotropy Experiment: Absolute Motion and Gravitational Waves Detected

description: Data from a new experiment measuring the anisotropy of the one-way speed of EM waves in a coaxial cable, gives the speed of light as 300,000+/-400+/-20km/s in a measured direction RA=5.5+/-2hrs, Dec=70+/-10deg S, is shown to be in excellent agreement with the results from seven previous anisotropy experiments, particularly those of Miller (1925/26), and even those of Michelson and Morley (1887). The Miller gas-mode interferometer results, and those from the RF coaxial cable experiments of Torr and Kolen (1983), De Witte (1991) and the new experiment all reveal the presence of gravitational waves, as indicated by the last +/- variations above, but of a kind different from those supposedly predicted by General Relativity. The understanding of the operation of the Michelson interferometer in gas-mode was only achieved in 2002 and involved a calibration for the interferometer that necessarily involved Special Relativity effects and the refractive index of the gas in the light paths. The results demonstrate the reality of the Fitzgerald-Lorentz contraction as an observer independent relativistic effect. A common misunderstanding is that the anisotropy of the speed of light is necessarily in conflict with Special Relativity and Lorentz symmetry - this is explained. All eight experiments and theory show that we have both anisotropy of the speed of light and relativistic effects, and that a dynamical 3-space exists - that absolute motion through that space has been repeatedly observed since 1887. These developments completely change fundamental physics and our understanding of reality.

A new form of transcorrelated Hamiltonian inspired by range-separated DFT
Creators: name: Giner, Emmanuel
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The present work introduces a new form of explicitly correlated factor in the context of the transcorrelated methods. The new correlation factor is obtained from the r 12 $\approx$ 0 mathematical analysis of the transcorrelated Hamiltonian, and its analytical form is obtained such that the leading order in 1/r 12 of the scalar part of the effective two-electron potential reproduces the long-range interaction of the range-separated density functional theory. The resulting correlation factor exactly imposes the cusp and is tuned by a unique parameter $μ$ which controls both the depth of the coulomb hole and its typical range in r 12. The transcorrelated Hamiltonian obtained with such a new correlation factor has a straightforward analytical expression depending on the same parameter $μ$, and its physical contents continuously change by varying $μ$ : one can change from a non divergent repulsive Hamiltonian at large $μ$ to a purely attractive one at small $μ$. We investigate the convergence of the ground state eigenvalues and right-eigenvectors of such new transcorrelated Hamiltonian as a function of the basis set and as a function of $μ$ on a series of two-electron systems. We found that the convergence towards the complete basis set is much faster for a quite wide range values of $μ$. We also propose a specific value of $μ$ which essentially reproduce the results obtained with the frozen Gaussian geminal introduced by Ten-No [CPL-330,169 (2000)].
A natural heavy-hole flopping mode qubit in germanium

description: Flopping mode qubits in double quantum dots (DQDs) allow for coherent spin-photon hybridization and fast qubit gates when coupled to either an alternating external or a quantized cavity electric field. To achieve this, however, electronic systems rely on synthetic spin-orbit interaction (SOI) by means of a magnetic field gradient as a coupling mechanism. Here we theoretically show that this challenging experimental setup can be avoided in heavy-hole (HH) systems in germanium (Ge) by utilizing the sizeable cubic Rashba SOI. We argue that the resulting natural flopping mode qubit possesses highly tunable spin coupling strengths that allow for one- and two-qubit gate times in the nanosecond range when the system is designed to function in an optimal operation mode which we quantify.

description: Motivated by potential phenomenological applications, we develop the necessary tools for building GUT models in F-theory. This approach is quite flexible because the local geometrical properties of singularities in F-theory compactifications encode the physical content of the theory. In particular, we show how geometry determines the gauge group, matter content and Yukawa couplings of a given model. It turns out that these features are beautifully captured by a four-dimensional topologically twisted N=4 theory which has been coupled to a surface defect theory on which chiral matter can propagate. From the vantagepoint of the four-dimensional topological theory, these defects are surface operators. Specific intersection points of these defects lead to Yukawa couplings. We also find that the unfolding of the singularity in the F-theory geometry precisely matches to properties of the topological theory with a defect.

This scheme is applicable irrespective of whether the condensate is initially in a coherent, thermal or more generally in any mixture of coherent states. The effects of atom loss and finite temperature to the decoherence can therefore be studied. We also discuss the various noise sources causing the decoherence.

description: Water is one of the key chemical elements in planetary structure modelling. Due to its complex phase diagram, equations of state cover often only parts of the pressure - temperature space needed in planetary modelling. We construct an equation of state of H$_2$O spanning a very wide range from 0.1 Pa to 400 TPa and 150 K to $10^{5}$ K, which can be used to model the interior of planets. We combine equations of state valid in localised regions to form a continuous equation of state spanning over said pressure and temperature range. We provide tabulated values for the most important thermodynamic quantities, i.e., density, adiabatic temperature gradient, entropy, internal energy and bulk speed of sound of water over this pressure and temperature range. For better usability we also calculated density - temperature and density - internal energy grids. We discuss further the impact of this equation of state on the mass radius relation of planets compared to other popular equation of states like ANEOS and QEOS. AQUA is a combination of existing equation of state useful for planetary models. We show that AQUA is in most regions a thermodynamic consistent description of water. At pressures above 10 GPa AQUA predicts systematic larger densities than ANEOS or QEOS. A feature which was already present in a previously proposed equation of state, which is the main underlying equation of this work. We show that the choice of the equation of state can have a large impact on the mass-radius relation, which highlights the importance of future developments in the field of equation of states and regarding experimental data of water at high pressures.

description: MgB2/Fe tapes with 2.5-15 at.% ZrB2 additions were prepared through the in situ powder-in-tube method. Compared to the pure tape, a significant improvement in the in-field critical current density Jc was observed, most notably for 10 at.% doping, while the critical temperature decreased slightly. At 4.2 K, the transport Jc for the 10 at.% doped sample increased by more than an order of magnitude than the undoped one in magnetic fields above 9 T. Nanoscale segregates or defects caused by the ZrB2 additions which act as effective flux pinning centers are proposed to be the main reason for the improved Jc field performance.

description: The promising increase of Electric Vehicles (EVs) in our society poses a challenging problem on the impact assessment of their charging/discharging to power distribution grids. This paper addresses the assessment problem in a framework of nonlinear differential equations. Specifically, we address the nonlinear ODE (Ordinary Differential Equation) model for representing the spatial profile of voltage phasor along a distribution feeder, which has been recently introduced in literature. The assessment problem is then formulated as a two-point boundary value problem of the nonlinear ODE model. In this paper we derive an asymptotic charcterisation of solutions of the problem through the standard regular perturbation method. This provides a mathematically-rigor and quantitative method for assessing how the charging/discharging of EVs affects the spatial profile of distribution voltage. Effectiveness of the asymptotic charcterisation is established with simulations of both simple and practical configurations of the power distribution grid.

We need memories to co-generate affective atmospheres, which are unique to the extent that they develop from analogies with other experiences. The greatest atmospheric engagement occurs in spaces resonating with our embodied habits, emotional affinities, and body memories. This contribution investigates strategies that make a space memorable and observes how memories trigger the atmospheric potential of certain places. Our case study is the Pammatone business and housing complex designed by Franco Albini and Franca Helg in the Piccapietra district in Genoa in the mid-20th century. We purposely selected a building that resulted from an enduring atmospheric praxis rather than an attempt to induce sensorial oversaturation: Albini and Helg were pioneers in teaching how to stage atmospheric spaces—long before the current “atmospheric turn.”

description: The origin of Uranus and Neptune remains a challenge for planet formation models. A potential explanation is that the planets formed from a population of a few planetary embryos with masses of a few Earth masses which formed beyond Saturn's orbit and migrated inwards. These embryos can collide and merge to form Uranus and Neptune. In this work we revisit this formation scenario and study the outcomes of such collisions using 3D hydrodynamical simulations. We investigate under what conditions the perfect-merging assumption is appropriate, and infer the planets' final masses, obliquities and rotation periods, as well as the presence of proto-satellite disks. We find that the total bound mass and obliquities of the planets formed in our simulations generally agree with N-body simulations therefore validating the perfect-merging assumption. The inferred obliquities, however, are typically different from those of Uranus and Neptune, and can be roughly matched only in a few cases. In addition, we find that in most cases the planets formed in this scenario rotate faster than Uranus and Neptune, close to break-up speed, and have massive disks. We therefore conclude that forming Uranus and Neptune in this scenario is challenging, and further research is required. We suggest that future planet formation models should aim to explain the various physical properties of the planets such as their masses, compositions, obliquities, rotation rates and satellite systems.

title: An empirical investigation of the profitability of Greek commercial banks
Creators: name: Vasiliou, Dimitrios
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 1990

description: This study seeks to identify the factors that accounted for Greek commercial bank profitability. Our aim is to isolate the characteristics and the management strategies that are common to high-performance financial institutions but are absent among the low-performance ones. The main data consist of the 1977-1986 income statements and balance sheets for a sample of eight Greek commercial banks. The emphasis of the analysis is more upon the empirical evidence and less upon the theoretical grounds. The first chapter describes and analyses the Greek financial system. The second chapter explores the profitability path of the sample banks during the period studied and subsequently ranks the firms according to their earnings for the whole period examined by employing a normalization criterion. The relationship between Greek bank earnings performance and their balance sheet structure is investigated in chapter three. This is done by describing and estimating a statistical cost accounting model. Chapter four examines the link between interbank profitability and various financial ratios (i.e. a financial ratio comparison approach). Chapter five analyses the market concentration in Greek commercial banking and its influence on earnings (i.e. the Structure-Conduct-- Performance hypothesis). Finally, chapter six is concerned with scale economies in the preceding industry.
Garrison temporality and geologic temporality in Canadian poetry
Creators: name: Rae, Ian
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This essay examines the interstices between geography and history in English Canadian poetry by analyzing the production of space through poetic imagery. It introduces two terms, "garrison temporality" and "geologic temporality," to demonstrate how poets created divisions in the Canadian landscape temporally, demarcating these divisions according to their understanding of the perceived spaces' historicity. In early Canadian poetry, poets tended to distinguish colonized spaces from uncolonized spaces by designating them as either historical or ahistorical. This was achieved, more specifically, by appropriating civil, or garrison, spaces into a narrative of English expansion which traced its historical lineage back to European antiquity. The space outside the garrison's perimeter was deemed to exist out of time, providing yet another justification for further colonization. Later generations of Canadian poets contested the ahistorical designations created by this narrative, as well as the division they draw between urban and non-urban spaces, by appealing to geologic time. Geologic temporality functions not so much as a viable explanatory model for the narration of history as it does a poetic device for contesting the centrality of Europe and of urban centers in assessing contemporary Canada's place in time. This essay traces the shift in attitudes towards time and space from Charles G.D. Roberts' "Tantramar Revisited" (1886) to Dale Zieroth's "Baptism" (1981).
Constraining the Quasar Contribution to the Reionisation of Cosmic Hydrogen

description: Absorption spectra of high redshift quasars suggest that the reionisation of cosmic hydrogen was complete near z~6. The dominant sources of ionising photons responsible for this reionisation are generally thought to be stars and quasars. In this paper we make a quantitative estimate of the relative contributions made by these sources. Our approach is to compute the evolution of the post overlap ionising background radiation by combining semi-analytic descriptions of reionisation in a clumpy medium with a model for the quasar luminosity function. Our overall model has two free parameters, the star formation efficiency and the minimum quasar luminosity. By adjusting these parameters, we constrain the relative contributions made by stars and quasars through comparison with reported observations (Fan et al. 2005). We find that the relative quasar contribution (at z=5.7) to the ionising background was between 1.4% and 14.5%. The range of uncertainty is dominated by the unknown minimum quasar luminosity.

description: We present a novel and remarkably simple formulation of degenerate higher-order scalar-tensor (DHOST) theories whose Lagrangian is quadratic in second derivatives of some scalar field. Using disformal transformations of the metric, we identify a special "frame" (or metric) for which the Lagrangian of quadratic DHOST theories reduces to the usual Einstein-Hilbert term plus a few terms that depend on simple geometric quantities characterizing the uniform scalar field hypersurfaces. In particular, for quadratic DHOST theories in the physically interesting class Ia, the Lagrangian simply consists of the Einstein-Hilbert term plus a term proportional to the three-dimensional scalar curvature of the uniform scalar field hypersurfaces. The classification of all quadratic DHOST theories becomes particularly transparent in this geometric reformulation, which also applies to scalar-tensor theories that are degenerate only in the unitary gauge.

description: The one-particle spectral function of a state formed by superconducting (SC) clusters is studied via Monte Carlo techniques. The clusters have similar SC amplitudes but randomly distributed phases. This state is stabilized by the competition with anti-ferromagnetism, after quenched disorder is introduced. Fermi arcs between the critical temperature Tc and the cluster formation temperature scale T* are observed, similarly as in the pseudo-gap state of the cuprates. The arcs originate at metallic regions in between the neighboring clusters that present large SC phase differences.

description: Inspired by the stringy quintessence F-term problem we highlight a generic contribution to the effective moduli masses that arises due to kinetic mixings between the moduli and the quintessence sector. We then proceed to discuss few supergravity toy models that accommodate such effect, and point out possible shortcomings. Interestingly, in the standard 2-derivative supergravity action there is no term to mediate the supersymmetry breaking from the kinetic quintessence sector to the gaugini and generate Majorana masses. Therefore we also propose a 2-derivative supersymmetric invariant that plays exactly this role.

description: The thermodynamic properties (magnetization, magnetic susceptibility, transverse and longitudinal correlation lengths, specific heat) of one- and two-dimensional ferromagnets with arbitrary spin S in a magnetic field are investigated by a second-order Green-function theory. In addition, quantum Monte Carlo simulations for S= 1/2 and S=1 are performed using the stochastic series expansion method. A good agreement between the results of both approaches is found. The field dependence of the position of the maximum in the temperature dependence of the susceptibility fits well to a power law at low fields and to a linear increase at high fields. The maximum height decreases according to a power law in the whole field region. The longitudinal correlation length may show an anomalous temperature dependence: a minimum followed by a maximum with increasing temperature. Considering the specific heat in one dimension and at low magnetic fields, two maxima in its temperature dependence for both the S= 1/2 and S = 1 ferromagnets are found. For S>1 only one maximum occurs, as in the two-dimensional ferromagnets. Relating the theory to experiments on the S= 1/2 quasi-one-dimensional copper salt TMCuC [(CH_3)_4NCuCl_3], a fit to the magnetization as a function of the magnetic field yields the value of the exchange energy which is used to make predictions for the occurrence of two maxima in the temperature dependence of the specific heat.

description: Several correlations among parameters derived from modelling the high-energy properties of GRBs have been reported. We show that well-known examples of these have common features indicative of strong contamination by selection effects. We focus here on the impact of detector threshold truncation on the spectral peak versus isotropic equivalent energy release ($E_{\rm pk}$-$E_{\rm iso}$) relation, extended to a large sample of 218 Swift and 56 HETE-2 GRBs with and without measured redshift. The existence of faint Swift events missing from pre-Swift surveys calls into question inferences based on pre-Swift surveys which must be subject to complicated incompleteness effects. We demonstrate a generalized method for treating data truncation in correlation analyses and apply this method to Swift and pre-Swift data. Also, we show that the $E_{\rm pk}$-$E_γ$ ("Ghirlanda") correlation is effectively independent of the GRB redshifts, which suggests its existence has little to do with intrinsic physics. We suggest that a physically-based correlation, manifest observationally, must show significantly reduced scatter in the rest frame relative to the observer frame and must not persist if the assumed redshifts are scattered. As with the $E_{\rm pk}$-$E_γ$ correlation, we find that the pre-Swift, bright GRB $E_{\rm pk}$-$E_{\rm iso}$ correlation of \citet{amati06} does not rigorously satisfy these conditions.

description: This paper makes a selective survey on the recent development of the factor model and its application on statistical learnings. We focus on the perspective of the low-rank structure of factor models, and particularly draws attentions to estimating the model from the low-rank recovery point of view. The survey mainly consists of three parts: the first part is a review on new factor estimations based on modern techniques on recovering low-rank structures of high-dimensional models. The second part discusses statistical inferences of several factor-augmented models and applications in econometric learning models. The final part summarizes new developments dealing with unbalanced panels from the matrix completion perspective.

description: Due to a printing error the above mentioned article [Annals of Applied Probability 10 (2000) 75--103, doi:10.1214/aoap/1019737665] had numerous equations appearing incorrectly in the print version of this paper. The entire article follows as it should have appeared. IMS apologizes to the author and the readers for this error. A recent paper by Harrison and Van Mieghem explained in general mathematical terms how one forms an ``equivalent workload formulation'' of a Brownian network model. Denoting by $Z(t)$ the state vector of the original Brownian network, one has a lower dimensional state descriptor $W(t)=MZ(t)$ in the equivalent workload formulation, where $M$ can be chosen as any basis matrix for a particular linear space. This paper considers Brownian models for a very general class of open processing networks, and in that context develops a more extensive interpretation of the equivalent workload formulation, thus extending earlier work by Laws on alternate routing problems. A linear program called the static planning problem is introduced to articulate the notion of ``heavy traffic'' for a general open network, and the dual of that linear program is used to define a canonical choice of the basis matrix $M$. To be specific, rows of the canonical $M$ are alternative basic optimal solutions of the dual linear program. If the network data satisfy a natural monotonicity condition, the canonical matrix $M$ is shown to be nonnegative, and another natural condition is identified which ensures that $M$ admits a factorization related to the notion of resource pooling.

description: We measure the scalar induced gravitational waves from the cosmic microwave background (CMB) observations and the gravitational wave observations. In the $Λ$CDM+$r$ model, we constrain the cosmological parameters within the evolution of the scalar induced gravitational waves by the additional scalar power spectrum. The two special cases called narrow power spectrum and wide power spectrum have influence on the cosmological parameters, especially the combinations of Planck18+BAO+BK15+LISA. We also compare these numerical results from four datasets within LIGO, LISA, IPTA and FAST projects, respectively. The constraints from FAST have a significant impact on tensor-to-scalar ratio.

description: The theme of human mobility is transversal to multiple fields of study and applications, from ad-hoc networks to smart cities, from transportation planning to recommendation systems on social networks. Despite the considerable efforts made by a few scientific communities and the relevant results obtained so far, there are still many issues only partially solved, that ask for general and quantitative methodologies to be addressed. A prominent aspect of scientific and practical relevance is how to characterize the mobility behavior of individuals. In this article, we look at the problem from a location-centric perspective: we investigate methods to extract, classify and quantify the symbolic locations specified in telco trajectories, and use such measures to feature user mobility. A major contribution is a novel trajectory summarization technique for the extraction of the locations of interest, i.e. attractive, from symbolic trajectories. The method is built on a density-based trajectory segmentation technique tailored to telco data, which is proven to be robust against noise. To inspect the nature of those locations, we combine the two dimensions of location attractiveness and frequency into a novel location taxonomy, which allows for a more accurate classification of the visited places. Another major contribution is the selection of suitable entropy-based metrics for the characterization of single trajectories, based on the diversity of the locations of interest. All these components are integrated in a framework utilized for the analysis of 100,000+ telco trajectories. The experiments show how the framework manages to dramatically reduce data complexity, provide high-quality information on the mobility behavior of people and finally succeed in grasping the nature of the locations visited by individuals.

description: Mercury mission MESSENGER's %(MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging Solar Assembly for X-rays (SAX) observed almost 700 solar flares between May 28, 2007 and August 19, 2013, as cataloged by \citet{dennisSOLARFLAREELEMENT2015}. The SAX instrument, part of the X-ray Spectrometer (XRS), operated at 1 -- 10 keV, partially overlapping the energy range of the GOES X-ray spectrometers. SAX provides viewing angles different from the Earth-Sun line and can therefore be used as a GOES proxy for partially or fully occulted flares as seen from Earth. For flares with GOES classes above C2 seen on-disk for both instruments, we found an empirical relationship between the soft X-ray (SXR) fluxes measured by both SAX and GOES. Due to the different energy response of the two SXR instruments, individual events can deviate on average by about a factor of two from the empirical relationship, implying that predictions of the GOES class of occulted flares from SAX data are therefore accurate to within the same factor. The distinctive GOES energy response in combination with the multithermal nature of flares makes it difficult for any instrument, even other soft X-ray spectrometers, to provide a GOES proxy more accurate than a factor of two.

description: Scrambling of information in a quantum many-body system, quantified by the out-of-time-ordered correlator (OTOC), is a key manifestation of quantum chaos. A regime of exponential growth in the OTOC, characterized by a Lyapunov exponent, has so far mostly been observed in systems with a high-dimensional local Hilbert space and in weakly-coupled systems. Here, we propose a general criterion for the existence of a well-defined regime of exponential growth of the OTOC in spatially extended systems with local interactions. In such systems, we show that a parametrically long period of exponential growth requires the butterfly velocity to be much larger than the Lyapunov exponent times a microscopic length scale, such as the lattice spacing. As an explicit example, we study a random unitary circuit with tunable interactions. In this model, we show that in the weakly interacting limit the above criterion is satisfied, and there is a prolonged window of exponential growth. Our results are based on numerical simulations of both Clifford and universal random circuits supported by an analytical treatment.
