description: The current proposals for producing non-Abelian anyons and Majorana particles, which are neither fermions nor bosons, are primarily based on the realization of topological superconductivity in two dimensions. We show theoretically that the unique Landau level structure of bilayer graphene provides a new possible avenue for achieving such exotic particles. Specifically, we demonstrate the feasibility of a "parton" fractional quantum Hall (FQH) state, which supports non-Abelian particles without the usual topological superconductivity. Furthermore, we advance this state as the fundamental explanation of the puzzling $1/2$ FQH effect observed in bilayer graphene [Kim {\em et al.}, Nano Lett. {\bf 15}, 7445 (2015)], and predict that it will also occur in trilayer graphene. We indicate experimental signatures that differentiate the parton state from other candidate non-Abelian FQH states and predict that a transverse electric field can induce a topological quantum phase transition between two distinct non-Abelian FQH states.

description: We model a sonic black hole analog in a quasi one-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate, using a Gross-Pitaevskii equation matching the configuration of a recent experiment by Steinhauer [Nat. Phys. 10, 864 (2014)]. The model agrees well with important features of the experimental observations, demonstrating their hydrodynamic nature. We find that a zero-frequency bow wave is generated at the inner (white hole) horizon, which grows in proportion to the square of the background condensate density. The relative motion of the black and white hole horizons produces a Doppler shift of the bow wave at the black hole, where it stimulates the emission of monochromatic Hawking radiation. The mechanism is confirmed using temporal and spatial windowed Fourier spectra of the condensate. Mean field behavior similar to that in the experiment can thus be fully explained without the presence of self-amplifying Hawking radiation.

Boundaries and Belongings: Muslim Migration, Homelands, and Subjectivities in Bengal, 1945 – 1970
Creators: name: Majumdar, Sohini
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2023

description: This dissertation takes an interdisciplinary approach to examine the history of border-making, migration, citizenship, and construction of identities in South Asia at the critical juncture of the end of the British Empire and the formation of the new nation-states of India and Pakistan. It focuses on Bengal, a colonial province that became partitioned between India (West Bengal) and Pakistan (East Bengal and later, East Pakistan) in 1947. It zooms in on the Muslims who lived in the Bengal region, a community who became divided between the two countries, to understand how the creation of the new nation states intersected with lives of ordinary people. It therefore opens the scope to document voices of those people who, until very recently, were marginalized in official narratives. The three main questions that this dissertation investigates include how state policies affected ordinary people, how people negotiated with a very difficult crisis, and how new identity formations unfolded as large masses became citizens of a new state and lost their belonging to an older country. In so doing, it shows how people who were hitherto colonial subjects were remodeled as nation citizens. A primary aim of this dissertation is to show that categories and collectivities, such as citizen, refugee, migrant, or minority, are not a-priori ontological realities, but constructs produced through everyday negotiations between the state and the people. My research shows that partition was not only about violence, as is often believed, but also about social, cultural, and emotional transitions. By mapping a wide variety of emotions that accompanied the displacements, ranging from confusion, trauma, loneliness, and alienation to nostalgia, hope, and expectations, I trace how these human sentiments and experiences essentially gave meaning to a border that had not existed until 1947.

Capillary Wave Theory of Adsorbed Liquid Films and the Structure of the Liquid-Vapor Interface

Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)

description: In this paper we try to work out in detail the implications of a microscopic theory for capillary waves under the assumption that the density is given along lines normal to the interface. Our study provides interface Hamiltonians for adsorbed films in a variety of systems, and shows that the corrections to the classical capillary wave spectrum are of the same order as the surface tension. This implies that it is possible, at least in principle, to measure them in x-ray surface scattering experiments. Interestingly, our study also sheds some light on the nature of the liquid-vapor interface in the absence of external fields and allows us to reconcile the Fisk-Widom scaling hypothesis with capillary wave theory.

Complex suppression patterns distinguish between major energy loss effects in Quark-Gluon Plasma

description: Interactions of high momentum partons with Quark-Gluon Plasma created in relativistic heavy-ion collisions provide an excellent tomography tool for this new form of matter. Recent measurements for charged hadrons and unidentified jets at the LHC show an unexpected flattening of the suppression curves at high momentum, exhibited when either momentum or the collision centrality is changed. Furthermore, a limited data available for B probes indicate a qualitatively different pattern, as nearly the same flattening is exhibited for the curves corresponding to two opposite momentum ranges. We here show that the experimentally measured suppression curves are well reproduced by our theoretical predictions, and that the complex suppression patterns are due to an interplay of collisional, radiative energy loss and the dead-cone effect. Furthermore, for B mesons, we predict that the uniform flattening of the suppression indicated by the limited dataset is in fact valid across the entire span of the momentum ranges, which will be tested by the upcoming experiments. Overall, the study presented here, provides a rare opportunity for pQCD theory to qualitatively distinguish between the major energy loss mechanisms at the same (nonintuitive) dataset.

Adaptive Least Mean Squares Estimation of Graph Signals

description: The aim of this paper is to propose a least mean squares (LMS) strategy for adaptive estimation of signals defined over graphs. Assuming the graph signal to be band-limited, over a known bandwidth, the method enables reconstruction, with guaranteed performance in terms of mean-square error, and tracking from a limited number of observations over a subset of vertices. A detailed mean square analysis provides the performance of the proposed method, and leads to several insights for designing useful sampling strategies for graph signals. Numerical results validate our theoretical findings, and illustrate the performance of the proposed method. Furthermore, to cope with the case where the bandwidth is not known beforehand, we propose a method that performs a sparse online estimation of the signal support in the (graph) frequency domain, which enables online adaptation of the graph sampling strategy. Finally, we apply the proposed method to build the power spatial density cartography of a given operational region in a cognitive network environment.

description: Understanding anomalous transport and reaction kinetics due to microscopic physical and chemical disorder is a long-standing goal in many fields including geophysics, biology, and engineering. We consider reaction-diffusion characterized by fluctuations in both transitions times and decay rates. We introduce and analyze a model framework that explicitly connects microscopic fluctuations with the mescoscopic description. For broad distributions of transport and reaction time scales we compute the particle density and derive the equations governing its evolution, finding power-law decay of the survival probability, and spatially heterogeneous decay that leads to subdiffusion and an asymptotically stationary surviving-particle density. These anomalies are clearly attributable to non-Markovian effects that couple transport and chemical properties in both reaction and diffusion terms.

description: Distance measures between quantum states like the trace distance and the fidelity can naturally be defined by optimizing a classical distance measure over all measurement statistics that can be obtained from the respective quantum states. In contrast, Petz showed that the measured relative entropy, defined as a maximization of the Kullback-Leibler divergence over projective measurement statistics, is strictly smaller than Umegaki's quantum relative entropy whenever the states do not commute. We extend this result in two ways. First, we show that Petz' conclusion remains true if we allow general positive operator valued measures. Second, we extend the result to Renyi relative entropies and show that for non-commuting states the sandwiched Renyi relative entropy is strictly larger than the measured Renyi relative entropy for $α\in (\frac12, \infty)$, and strictly smaller for $α\in [0,\frac12)$. The latter statement provides counterexamples for the data-processing inequality of the sandwiched Renyi relative entropy for $α< \frac12$. Our main tool is a new variational expression for the measured Renyi relative entropy, which we further exploit to show that certain lower bounds on quantum conditional mutual information are superadditive.

description: Establishing the completeness of a Bethe Ansatz solution for an exactly solved model is a perennial challenge, which is typically approached on a case by case basis. For the rational, spin-1/2 Richardson--Gaudin system it will be argued that, for generic values of the system's coupling parameters, the Bethe states are complete. This method does not depend on knowledge of the distribution of Bethe roots, such as a string hypothesis, and is generalisable to a wider class of systems.

Zuerst wird ein allgemeines Konzept für die Einbindung statistischer Prozeduren in eine menügesteuerte Software entwickelt. Die resultierende Java--Bibliothek besteht aus konfigurierbaren Oberflächenkomponenten und Funktionen, die die Kommunikation zum statistischen Softwarepaket GAUSS ermöglichen. Diese Bibliothek ist die Grundlage für die Software JMulTi, einem menügeführten Programm zur Analyse univariater und multivariater Zeitreihen. Der Einsatz von JMulTi bei der Analyse von VAR Modellen wird anschließend dokumentiert. Dazu werden für den monetären Sektor in Deutschland unrestringierte und restringierte VAR Modelle geschätzt und unterschiedliche Bootstrapkonfidenzintervallen für Impulsantworten berechnet und verglichen. Diese Intervalle sind Gegenstand einer abschließenden und detaillierten Analyse. Es wird untersucht, ob die in JMulTi verwendeten Bootstrapverfahren (und weitergehende Vorschläge wie z.B. das Subsampling) in der Lage sind, die mögliche Inkonsistenz des standardasymptotischen Verfahrens bei der Berechnung von Konfidenzintervallen für Impulsantworten zu überwinden. Eine Monte-Carlo-Studie illustriert die Leistungsfähigkeit der untersuchten Methoden.
description: The thesis develops and examines tools for the analysis of dynamic multi-equation models (VAR models). First, a general concept for the integration of statistic procedures into a menu controlled software is developed. The resulting Java-library consists of configurable graphical user interface components and functions, which allow communication to the statistic software package GAUSS. This library is the basis for the software JMulTi, a menu-driven program for analyzing univariate and multivariate time series. The use of JMulTi for analyzing VAR models is documented next. Unrestricted and restricted VAR models for the monetary sector of Germany are estimated and different bootstrap confidence intervals for impulse responses are computed and compared. These intervals are subject of a concluding and detailed analysis. It is examined whether the bootstrap methods used in JMulTi (and further suggestions, e.g. the subsampling) are able to overcome the possible inconsistency of the standard asymptotic method when computing confidence intervals for impulse responses. A Monte-Carlo-study illustrates the performance of the examined methods.

description: A correspondence between three-dimensional flat connections and constant curvature four-dimensional simplices is used to give a novel quantization of geometry via complex SL(2,C) Chern-Simons theory. The resulting quantum geometrical states are hence represented by the 3d blocks of analytically continued Chern-Simons theory. In the semiclassical limit of this quantization the three-dimensional Chern-Simons action, remarkably, becomes the discrete Einstein-Hilbert action of a 4-simplex, featuring the appropriate boundary terms as well as the essential cosmological term proportional to the simplex's curved 4-volume. Both signs of the curvature and associated cosmological constant are present in the class of flat connections that give rise to this correspondence. We provide a Wilson graph operator that picks out this class of connections. We discuss how to promote these results to a model of Lorentzian covariant quantum gravity encompassing both signs of the cosmological constant. This paper presents the details for the results reported in reference [1] (arXiv:1509.00458).

Algebraic structures in quantum theory
Creators: name: Geiko, Roman
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2023

description: The thesis is devoted to the analysis of various algebraic structures appearing in quantum theory and their applications to concrete physical problems. Analysis of symmetries is one of the most universal and powerful tools for studying physical systems. According to the Wigner theorem, symmetries of quantum mechanics fall into two categories: they can be realized by either unitary or anti-unitary operators. We review Dyson’s classification of quantum symmetry types and prove that this approach is equivalent to a more modern approach to quantum symmetries using the graded commutants. Our results do not depend on the specific symmetry group and rely only on the general theory of real representations– the only assumption we make is that there exists at least one symmetry operator that is realized anti-unitarily. Further, we discuss the anti-unitary symmetries of Abelian Chern-Simons theory in three dimensions and derive a simple criterion guaranteeing the existence of a time reversal symmetry at the quantum level. We give a general description of classical Lagrangians leading to quantum time reversal symmetric theories using classical results by Nikulin. We make a conjecture about the time reversal invariance of the general three-dimensional Chern-Simons theory. Further, we solve the problem of classification of homotopy classes of loops of Clifford circuits. We perform this computation by noticing that Clifford circuits correspond to automorphisms of a Pauli module equipped with an anti-hermitian form. In the final chapter, we discuss equivalent points of view on matrix-product states and connections with the representation theory of C∗-algebras. We introduce the most general tensor networks for one-dimensional lattices by allowing both onsite and bond Hilbert spaces to be infinite-dimensional. Our results provide a rigorous mathematical framework for realistic states with an unbounded number of Schmidt coefficients.

description: We study the massive ODE/IM correspondence for modified $B_2^{(1)}$ affine Toda field equation. Based on the $ψ$-system for the solutions of the associated linear problem, we obtain the Bethe ansatz equations. We also discuss the T-Q relations, the T-system and the Y-system, which are shown to be related to those of the $A_3/{\bf Z}_2$ integrable system. We consider the case that the solution of the linear problem has a monodromy around the origin, which imposes nontrivial boundary conditions for the T-/Y-system. The high-temperature limit of the T- and Y-system and their monodromy dependence are studied numerically.

description: The thermodynamic limit and boundary energy of the isotropic spin-1 Heisenberg chain with non-diagonal boundary fields are studied. The finite size scaling properties of the inhomogeneous term in the $ T-Q $ relation at the ground state are calculated by the density matrix renormalization group. Based on our findings, the boundary energy of the system in the thermodynamic limit can be obtained from Bethe ansatz equations of a related model with parallel boundary fields. These results can be generalized to the $SU(2)$ symmetric high spin Heisenberg model directly.

description: The simplified linguistic relation between syntax and semantics as intrinsic property of classic Arabic motivates a dedicated look at P vs. NP in light of efforts and solutions presented by ancient Arab- and Muslim scholars to facilitate logical- and mathematical deduction. In Islamic Jurisprudence (Fikh) it has recently been shown [Abdelwahab et al. 2014] that if a formal system expressing Fikh is chosen in such a way that it is both, logically complete and decidable, the question of a complete and consistent legislation is decidable. If this formal Fikh-system is additionally chosen to be at least as expressive as propositional logic, the deduction of detailed sentences is efficient while the deduction of general rules is NP-complete. Further investigation reveals that ancient scholars adopted a very efficient approach for checking the validity of assertions with regard to both, language and logical argument which was mainly characterized by the extensive use of syntactical patterns already existent in input-variables. Accordingly, this paper introduces efficient pattern-oriented procedures for 3-SAT as well as 2-approximation algorithms for MinFBDD. It opens up the possibility of constructing polynomial sized FBDDs for all Boolean functions expressed in a compact way. Eventually, an application of this new 3-SAT-solver is shown to enable polynomial upper bounds of the number of nodes in FBDDs constructed for finite projective planes problems overhauling the currently known exponential lower bounds.

description: Speckle based imaging consists of forming a super-resolved reconstruction of an unknown sample from low-resolution images obtained under random inhomogeneous illuminations (speckles). In a blind context where the illuminations are unknown, we study the intrinsic capacity of speckle-based imagers to recover spatial frequencies outside the frequency support of the data, with minimal assumptions about the sample. We demonstrate that, under physically realistic conditions, the covariance of the data has a super-resolution power corresponding to the squared magnitude of the imager point spread function. This theoretical result is important for many practical imaging systems such as acoustic and electromagnetic tomographs, fluorescence and photoacoustic microscopes, or synthetic aperture radar imaging. A numerical validation is presented in the case of fluorescence microscopy.

Projection from the Imaginary Dimension: Foundations of Conscious Interface Geometry
Creators: name: Thavarajah, Rogan
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: This paper introduces a foundational mathematical and conceptual model in which perception, time, memory, and subjective experience emerge as recursive projections of a universal coherence field through a non-spatial, imaginary dimension. The framework replaces traditional object-based ontology with phase-dependent geometry, in which conscious observers generate their perceived reality via a projection operator acting on the coherence field Ψ\PsiΨ.

We define the imaginary dimension Θ\ThetaΘ as a complex-valued axis outside of spacetime, from which projection phase θ\thetaθ determines the geometry of experience. A universal projection operator Pθ\mathcal{P}_\thetaPθ maps this field into observer-relative realities ψ(θ)\psi^{(\theta)}ψ(θ). This model introduces dimensional recursion, topological coherence states, and projection-based relativity—explaining diverse cognitive and perceptual states as geometric forms.

The work lays the groundwork for a full theory of consciousness as recursive geometry, integrating subjective experience, memory, and temporal flow under a unified projection principle. It has implications for quantum foundations, observer-centric physics, and experimental neuroscience.

description: We report serendipitous detections of line emission with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) in band 3, 6, and 7 in the central parsec down to within 1" around Sgr A* at an up to now highest resolution (<0.5") view of the Galactic Center (GC) in the sub-millimeter (sub-mm) domain. From the 100 GHz continuum and the H39αemission we obtain a uniform electron temperature around 6000 K for the minispiral. The spectral index of Sgr A* is ~ 0.5 at 100 - 250 GHz and ~ 0.0 at 230 - 340 GHz. The bright sources in the center show spectral indices around -0.1 implying Bremsstrahlung emission, while dust emission is emerging in the minispiral exterior. Apart from CS, which is most widespread in the center, H13CO+, HC3N, SiO, SO, C2H, CH3OH, 13CS and N2H+ are also detected. The bulk of the clumpy emission regions is at positive velocities and in a region confined by the minispiral northern arm, bar and the sources IRS 3 and 7. Although partly spatially overlapping with the radio recombination line (RRL) emission at same negative velocities, the relation to the minispiral remains unclear. A likely explanation is an infalling clump consisting of denser cloud cores embedded in diffuse gas. The central association of clouds (CA) shows three times higher CS/X (X: any other observed molecule) ratios than the circumnuclear disk (CND) suggesting a combination of higher excitation, by a temperature gradient and/or IR-pumping, and abundance enhancement due to UV- and/or X-ray emission. Hence, we conclude that this CA is closer to the center than the CND is to the center. Moreover, we find molecular emission at velocities up to 200 km s-1. ...

Este proyecto impulsó el respeto a los derechos humanos mediante la asistencia técnica y legal para la adopción de regulaciones favorables a la atención del aborto y la implementación de la sentencia C-055 de 2022 a nivel territorial y promovió el acceso a información de calidad mediante acciones de formación en farmacias, con personal médico a cargo del servicio social obligatorio rural y personal de enfermería.Asimismo, el proyecto también buscó aportar al fortalecimiento del sistema de salud a través de la construcción de un Índice Municipal de la Oferta de Aborto Seguro. Dicho índice sintetiza la información disponible sobre la atención del aborto y permite identificar los municipios de Colombia en los que la población no tiene una oferta adecuada. A su vez, contribuirá al análisis de las inequidades en el acceso al aborto seguro en Colombia desde una perspectiva multidimensional. Por lo anterior, se espera que el índice propuesto pueda contribuir a la implementación de la sentencia C-055 de 2022 y a la transversalización de la Resolución 051 de 2023 a nivel territorial, y entregue insumos que permitan avanzar en el cumplimiento de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) relacionados con la buena salud y el bienestar para todos (ODS3) y la igualdad de género (ODS5)El propósito de este informe es presentar el análisis de la oferta actual de atención del aborto en los 1.121 municipios de Colombia y los retos y oportunidades en función de tres dimensiones o ejes temáticos y veintisiete indicadores. También presenta el abordaje metodológico y la identificación de las dimensiones e indicadores para la construcción del panel municipal de indicadores estandarizados y del Índice Municipal de la Oferta de Aborto Seguro. En Anexo 1 de este informe presenta los puntajes de cada dimensión y del índice para cada uno de los municipios del país

description: In this paper, we prove some finiteness results about split Kac-Moody groups over local non-archimedean fields. Our results generalize those of "An affine Gindikin-Karpelevich formula" by Alexander Braverman, Howard Garland, David Kazhdan and Manish Patnaik. We do not require our groups to be affine. We use the hovel I associated to this situation, which is the analogue of the Bruhat-Tits building for a reductive group.

description: Multifractal theory provides a new spatial analytical tool to describe urban form and growth, but many basic problems remain to be solved. Among various pending issues, the most significant one is how to obtain proper multifractal dimension spectrums. If an algorithm is improperly used, the parameter values will be abnormal. This paper is devoted to drawing a comparison between two OLS-based approaches for estimating urban multifractal parameters. Using observational data and empirical analysis, we will demonstrate how to utilize the double logarithmic linear regression to evaluate multifractal parameters. The OLS regression analysis has two different approaches. One is to fix the intercept to zero, and the other is not to fix it. The case studies show that the advisable method is to constrain the intercept to zero. The zero-intercept regression yields proper multifractal parameter spectrums within certain scale range of moment order, while the common regression results are not normal. In practice, the zero-intercept regression and the common regression can be combined to calculate multifractal parameters. Comparing the two sets of results, we can judge when and where multifractal urban structure appears. This research will inspire urban scientists to employ a proper technique to estimate multifractal dimensions for urban scientific studies.

description: Die Arbeit untersucht die Bedeutung der inhaltlichen Ausgestaltung von Geschlechterpolitik am Beispiel von Gender Mainstreaming mit theoretischen Angeboten und Versatzstücken von feministischen Theorien in deutschen Kommunen. Auf Grundlage einer Analyse kommunaler Dokumente und qualitativer Interviews wird gezeigt, welches feministische Wissen in Geschlechterpolitik einfließt, welche Filter und Transferbruchstellen wirksam werden und welche Folgen dies für die theoretische Ausgestaltung von Politikstrategien wie Gender Mainstreaming hat. Deutlich wird, dass es weniger zu einer zunehmenden Kluft zwischen Theorieangeboten und Geschlechterpolitik kommt, sondern vielmehr zu einer selektiven Übernahme bestimmter Theorieangebote, die sich nicht immer passgenau in Strukturen und Institutionen von Geschlechterpolitik einfügen und die daher vielfältige Verwerfungen mit sich bringen können. Abschließend werden die Folgen eines solchen Ausschlusses und einer solchen exklusiven Verwendung bestimmter feministischer Theorieangebote und mögliche Alternativen für die politische Praxis besprochen.
description: This doctoral thesis presents empirical results of an interdisciplinary study, which explores the configuration of ‘gender mainstreaming’ with feminist theory in German municipalities. The results are based on the analysis of municipal documents and qualitative interviews in ten German municipalities. Drawing on the example of the strategy of ‘gender mainstreaming’ this study emphasizes the theoretical configuration of gender policy with components and elements of feminist knowledge. It shows to what extend different generations or bundles of feminist theory are of particular relevance for political practice. The study presents empirical evidence that the configuration of ‘gender mainstreaming’ predominantly refers to a small range of feminist theories, while specific feminist theories like very recent theoretical trends are expelled. As a consequence feminist knowledge is not only extremely fractured, but also creates rupture zones when being transferred into political practice. Concluding the study raises the question for the actual effects of this exclusive usage of feminist theory within political practice and political movements.
A sharp threshold for van der Waerden's theorem in random subsets

description: We establish sharpness for the threshold of van der Waerden's theorem in random subsets of $\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$. More precisely, for $k\geq 3$ and $Z\subseteq \mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$ we say $Z$ has the van der Waerden property if any two-colouring of $Z$ yields a monochromatic arithmetic progression of length $k$. Rödl and Ruciński (1995) determined the threshold for this property for any k and we show that this threshold is sharp. The proof is based on Friedgut's criteria (1999) for sharp thresholds, and on the recently developed container method for independent sets in hypergraphs by Balogh, Morris and Samotij (2015) and by Saxton and Thomason (2015).

description: We analyse archival data from the Parkes radio telescope which was observing a location 35.6$^\circ$ away from SGR 1806-20 during its giant $γ$-ray flare of 2004 December 27. We show that no FRB-like burst counterpart was detected, and set a radio limit of 110\,MJy at 1.4 GHz, including the estimated 70\,dB suppression of the signal due to its location in the far side lobe of Parkes and the predicted scattering from the interstellar medium. The upper limit for the magnetar giant flare radio to $γ$-ray fluence ratio is $η_\mathrm{SGR} \lesssim 10^{7}\,\mathrm{Jy\,ms\,erg^{-1}\,cm^{2}}$. Based on the non-detection of a short and prompt $γ$-ray counterpart of fifteen FRBs in $γ$-ray transient monitors, we set a lower limit on the fluence ratios of FRBs to be $η_\mathrm{FRB} \gtrsim 10^{7-9}\,\mathrm{Jy\,ms\,erg^{-1}\,cm^{2}}$. The fluence ratio limit for \sgr\ is inconsistent with all but one of the fifteen FRBs. We discuss possible variations in the magnetar-FRB emission mechanism and observational caveats that may reconcile the theory with observations.

description: Quantum key distribution can be enhanced and extended if nonclassical single-photon states of light are used. We study a connection between the security of quantum key distribution and quantum non-Gaussianity of light arriving at the receiver's detection system after the propagation through a noisy quantum channel, being under full control of an eavesdropper performing general collective attacks. We show that while quantum nonclassicality exhibited by the light arriving at the receiver's station is a necessary indication of the security of the discrete-variable protocols, quantum non-Gaussianity can be a sufficient indication of their security. Therefore, checking for non-Gaussianity of this light by performing standard autocorrelation function measurement can be used for prior verification of the usability of prepare-and-measure schemes. It can play similar role to the prior verification of the quantum correlations sufficient to violate Bell inequalities for entanglement-based protocols.

description: For a discrete subgroup of an indefinite unitary group $U(1,n+1)$, $n\geq 1$, consider the attached modular variety. Using local Borcherds products, we study Heegner divisors in the local Picard group over a boundary component the compactified variety. We obtain a criterion for local Heegner divisors to be torsion elements in the local Picard group. As an application, we find that the obstructions for a local Heegner divisor to be a torsion element can be described through spaces of vector valued elliptic cusp forms spanned by certain theta-series.

description: Social scientists have criticised computer models of pedestrian streams for their treatment of psychological crowds as mere aggregations of individuals. Indeed most models for evacuation dynamics use analogies from physics where pedestrians are considered as particles. Although this ensures that the results of the simulation match important physical phenomena, such as the deceleration of the crowd with increasing density, social phenomena such as group processes are ignored. In particular, people in a crowd have social identities and share those social identities with the others in the crowd. The process of self categorisation determines norms within the crowd and influences how people will behave in evacuation situations. We formulate the application of social identity in pedestrian simulation algorithmically. The goal is to examine whether it is possible to carry over the psychological model to computer models of pedestrian motion so that simulation results correspond to observations from crowd psychology. That is, we quantify and formalise empirical research on and verbal descriptions of the effect of group identity on behaviour. We use uncertainty quantification to analyse the model's behaviour when we vary crucial model parameters. In this first approach we restrict ourselves to a specific scenario that was thoroughly investigated by crowd psychologists and where some quantitative data is available: the bombing and subsequent evacuation of a London underground tube carriage on July 7th 2005.
