description: We study approximation of operators between Banach spaces $X$ and $Y$ that nearly attain their norms in a given point by operators that attain their norms at the same point. When such approximations exist, we say that the pair $(X, Y)$ has the pointwise Bishop-Phelps-Bollobás property (pointwise BPB property for short). In this paper we mostly concentrate on those $X$, called universal pointwise BPB domain spaces, such that $(X, Y)$ possesses pointwise BPB property for every $Y$, and on those $Y$, called universal pointwise BPB range spaces, such that $(X, Y)$ enjoys pointwise BPB property for every uniformly smooth $X$. We show that every universal pointwise BPB domain space is uniformly convex and that $L_p(μ)$ spaces fail to have this property when $p>2$. For universal pointwise BPB range space, we show that every simultaneously uniformly convex and uniformly smooth Banach space fails it if its dimension is greater than one. We also discuss a version of the pointwise BPB property for compact operators.

description: We elaborate on the low-energy effective action of $6D,\,{\cal N}=(1,1)$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills (SYM) theory in the ${\cal N}=(1,0)$ harmonic superspace formulation. The theory is described in terms of analytic ${\cal N}=(1,0)$ gauge superfield $V^{++}$ and analytic $ω$-hypermultiplet, both in the adjoint representation of gauge group. The effective action is defined in the framework of the background superfield method ensuring the manifest gauge invariance along with manifest ${\cal N}=(1,0)$ supersymmetry. We calculate leading contribution to the one-loop effective action using the on-shell background superfields corresponding to the option when gauge group $SU(N)$ is broken to $SU(N-1)\times U(1)\subset SU(N)$. In the bosonic sector the effective action involves the structure $\sim \frac{F^4}{X^2}$, where $F^4$ is a monomial of the fourth degree in an abelian field strength $F_{MN}$ and $X$ stands for the scalar fields from the $ω$-hypermultiplet. It is manifestly demonstrated that the expectation values of the hypermultiplet scalar fields play the role of a natural infrared cutoff.

description: We examine the slepton masses of SUSYLR models and how they change due the presence of light-doubly charged higgs bosons. We discover that the measurement of the slepton masses could bound and even predict the value of the third generation Yukawa coupling of leptons to the SU(2)_R Triplets. We also consider the unification prospects for this model with the addition of left-handed, B - L = 0 triplets--a model we call the Triplet Extended Supersymmetric Standard Model (TESSM). Finally, we discuss the changes in the slepton masses due to the presence of the SU(2)_L triplets.

Searching for Effects of Spatial Noncommutativity via Chern-Simons' Processes
Creators: name: Zhang, Jian-Zu
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The possibility of testing spatial noncommutativity in the case of both position-position and momentum-momentum noncommuting via a Chern-Simons' process is explored. A Chern-Simons process can be realized by an interaction of a charged particle in special crossed electric and magnetic fields, in which the Chern-Simons term leads to non-trivial dynamics in the limit of vanishing kinetic energy. Spatial noncommutativity leads to the spectrum of the orbital angular momentum possessing fractional values. Furthermore, in both limits of vanishing kinetic energy and subsequent vanishing magnetic field, the Chern-Simons term leads to this system having non-trivial dynamics again, and the dominant value of the lowest orbital angular momentum being $\hbar/4$, which is a clear signal of spatial noncommutativity. An experimental verification of this prediction by a Stern-Gerlach-type experiment is suggested.

description: Earth observation (EO) satellite missions have been providing detailed images about the state of the Earth and its land cover for over 50 years. Long term missions, such as NASA's Landsat, Terra, and Aqua satellites, and more recently, the ESA's Sentinel missions, record images of the entire world every few days. Although single images provide point-in-time data, repeated images of the same area, or satellite image time series (SITS) provide information about the changing state of vegetation and land use. These SITS are useful for modeling dynamic processes and seasonal changes such as plant phenology. They have potential benefits for many aspects of land and natural resource management, including applications in agricultural, forest, water, and disaster management, urban planning, and mining. However, the resulting satellite image time series (SITS) are complex, incorporating information from the temporal, spatial, and spectral dimensions. Therefore, deep learning methods are often deployed as they can analyze these complex relationships. This review presents a summary of the state-of-the-art methods of modelling environmental, agricultural, and other Earth observation variables from SITS data using deep learning methods. We aim to provide a resource for remote sensing experts interested in using deep learning techniques to enhance Earth observation models with temporal information.

La disuguaglianza dei redditi in Italia. Non solo un problema di altezza.
Creators: name: Franzini, Maurizio
Publisher: name: Argomenti
Year: 2020

description: Negli ultimi decenni la disuguaglianza nei redditi disponibili in Italia è cresciuta molto meno della disuguaglianza nei redditi di mercato. La spiegazione sta nell’apparente crescente intensità della redistribuzione realizzata dallo stato attraverso le imposte dirette e i trasferimenti monetari, tra i quali hanno un ruolo essenziale le pensioni. Il forte peggioramento della disuguaglianza nei redditi di mercato risente anche della crescente disuguaglianza nei redditi da lavoro, alla base della quale non vi è soltanto il maggior rendimento del capitale umano, come di norma si sostiene, ma una serie di altri fattori, di difficile individuazione, che, comunque, sono collegati alle origini familiari e, quindi, configurano una limitata mobilità sociale intergenerazionale. Tutto ciò suggerisce di guardare non soltanto all’altezza della disuguaglianza ma anche ai processi che la generano e che possono definirne il grado di accettabilità. L’attenzione verso quei processi ha implicazioni per individuare le politiche più appropriate per contrastare la disuguaglianza.

description: A critical challenge to the cold dark matter (CDM) paradigm is that there are fewer satellites observed around the Milky Way than found in simulations of dark matter substructure. We show that there is a match between the observed satellite counts corrected by the detection efficiency of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (for luminosities $L \gtrsim$ 340 L$_\odot$) and the number of luminous satellites predicted by CDM, assuming an empirical relation between stellar mass and halo mass. The "missing satellites problem", cast in terms of number counts, is thus solved. We also show that warm dark matter models with a thermal relic mass smaller than 4 keV are in tension with satellite counts, putting pressure on the sterile neutrino interpretation of recent X-ray observations. Importantly, the total number of Milky Way satellites depends sensitively on the spatial distribution of satellites, possibly leading to a "too many satellites" problem. Measurements of completely dark halos below $10^8$ M$_\odot$, achievable with substructure lensing and stellar stream perturbations, are the next frontier for tests of CDM.

Multiple zonal jets and convective heat transport barriers in a quasi-geostrophic model of planetary cores

description: We study rapidly-rotating Boussinesq convection driven by internal heating in a full sphere. We use a numerical model based on the quasi-geostrophic approximation for the velocity field, whereas the temperature field is three-dimensional. This approximation allows us to perform simulations for Ekman numbers down to 1e-8, Prandtl numbers relevant for liquid metals (~0.1) and Reynolds numbers up to 3e4. Persistent zonal flows composed of multiple jets form as a result of the mixing of potential vorticity. For the largest Rayleigh numbers computed, the zonal velocity is larger than the convective velocity despite the presence of boundary friction. The convective structures and the zonal jets widen when the thermal forcing increases. Prograde and retrograde zonal jets are dynamically different: in the prograde jets (which correspond to weak potential vorticity gradients) the convection transports heat efficiently and the mean temperature tends to be homogenised; by contrast, in the cores of the retrograde jets (which correspond to steep gradients of potential vorticity) the dynamics is dominated by the propagation of Rossby waves, resulting in the formation of steep mean temperature gradients and the dominance of conduction in the heat transfer process. Consequently, in quasi-geostrophic systems, the width of the retrograde zonal jets controls the efficiency of the heat transfer.

description: Utilizing the Stern-Gerlach apparatus to create matter-wave superposition states is a long-sought-after goal, not only due to its potential applications in the quantum realm but also because of its fundamental implications for studying the quantum properties of gravity. The main challenge in creating a macroscopic quantum interferometer arises from the loss of coherence, primarily through two channels. One channel involves strong coupling with the environment for macroscopic matter, leading to decoherence. The other channel relates to the precision of wave packet overlap, which can occur due to external and internal fluctuations of various sources. The latter introduces a unique challenge for larger-scale masses by perturbing the centre of mass motion of the macroscopic object. Here, we study a particular challenge, namely, the issue of internal degrees of freedom, specifically phonon fluctuations and contrast reduction. This work will investigate the contrast reduction caused by spin-magnetic field and diamagnetic interactions at the phonon occupation level in the quantum gravity-induced entanglement of masses (QGEM) protocol configuration.

description: Although the functional renormalization group (fRG) is by now a well-established method for investigating correlated electron systems, it is still undergoing significant technical and conceptual improvements. In particular, the motivation to optimally exploit the parallelism of modern computing platforms has recently led to the development of the "truncated-unity" functional renormalization group (TU-fRG). Here, we review this fRG variant, and we provide its extension to multiband systems with spin-orbit coupling. Furthermore, we discuss some aspects of the implementation and outline opportunities and challenges ahead for predicting the ground-state ordering and emergent energy scales for a wide class of quantum materials.

description: More and more artists from all over the world are engaging in the production of AI art. Because of this, art historians need to start thinking about how the histories of AI art should be articulated. This paper aims to take part in this conversation by addressing the problem of whether the AIs created by human artists should be considered as artists too in the discourse of art and its history. By building on previous research on ethics, consciousness, authorship, creatorship, and intent, this paper presents a number of arguments as to whether or not anthropocentrism should be abandoned in the writing of AI art's histories.

description: Condition monitoring of industrial systems is crucial for ensuring safety and maintenance planning, yet notable challenges arise in real-world settings due to the limited or non-existent availability of fault samples. This paper introduces an innovative solution to this problem by proposing a new method for fault detection and condition monitoring for unseen data. Adopting an approach inspired by zero-shot learning, our method can identify faults and assign a relative health index to various operational conditions. Typically, we have plenty of data on normal operations, some data on compromised conditions, and very few (if any) samples of severe faults. We use a variational autoencoder to capture the probabilistic distribution of previously seen and new unseen conditions. The health status is determined by comparing each sample's deviation from a normal operation reference distribution in the latent space. Faults are detected by establishing a threshold for the health indexes, allowing the model to identify severe, unseen faults with high accuracy, even amidst noise. We validate our approach using the run-to-failure IMS-bearing dataset and compare it with other methods. The health indexes generated by our model closely match the established descriptive model of bearing wear, attesting to the robustness and reliability of our method. These findings highlight the potential of our methodology in augmenting fault detection capabilities within industrial domains, thereby contributing to heightened safety protocols and optimized maintenance practices.

description: We present a new cosmological probe for galaxy clusters, the halo sparsity. This characterises halos in terms of the ratio of halo masses measured at two different radii and carries cosmological information encoded in the halo mass profile. Building upon the work of Balmes et al. (2014) we test the properties of the sparsity using halo catalogs from a numerical N-body simulation of ($2.6$ Gpc/h)$^3$ volume with $4096^3$ particles. We show that at a given redshift the average sparsity can be predicted from prior knowledge of the halo mass function. This provides a quantitative framework to infer cosmological parameter constraints using measurements of the sparsity of galaxy clusters. We show this point by performing a likelihood analysis of synthetic datasets with no systematics, from which we recover the input fiducial cosmology. We also perform a preliminary analysis of potential systematic errors and provide an estimate of the impact of baryonic effects on sparsity measurements. We evaluate the sparsity for a sample of 104 clusters with hydrostatic masses from X-ray observations and derive constraints on the cosmic matter density $Ω_m$ and the normalisation amplitude of density fluctuations at the $8$ Mpc h$^{-1}$ scale, $σ_8$. Assuming no systematics, we find $Ω_m=0.42\pm 0.17$ and $σ_8=0.80\pm 0.31$ at $1σ$, corresponding to $S_8\equiv σ_8\sqrt{Ω_m}=0.48\pm 0.11$. Future cluster surveys may provide opportunities for precise measurements of the sparsity. A sample of a few hundreds clusters with mass estimate errors at a few percent level can provide competitive cosmological parameter constraints complementary to those inferred from other cosmic probes.

description: The statistical properties of galaxy distance estimators are studied and a rigorous framework is developed for identifying and removing the effects of Malmquist bias due to obsevational selection. The prescription of Schechter (1980) for defining unbiased distance estimators is extended to more general -- and more realistic -- cases. The derivation of `optimal' unbiased distance estimators of minimum dispersion, by utilising information from additional -- suitably correlated -- observables, is discussed and the results applied to a calibrating sample from the Fornax cluster, as used in the Mathewson spiral galaxy redshift survey. The optimal distance estimator derived from I-band magnitude, diameter and 21cm line width has an intrinsic scatter which is 25 \% smaller than that of the Tully-Fisher relation quoted for this calibrating sample.

NLO BFKL at work: the electroproduction of two light vector mesons

description: The amplitude for the forward electroproduction of two light vector mesons can be written completely within perturbative QCD in the Regge limit with next-to-leading accuracy, thus providing the first example of a physical application of the BFKL approach at the next-to-leading order. Recently, a numerical determination of the amplitude has been obtained in the case of equal photon virtualities, by using a definite representation for the amplitude and a definite optimization method for the perturbative series. Here, we study the main systematic effects in the previous determination, by considering a different representation of the amplitude and different optimization methods of the perturbative series. Moreover, we compare our result for the differential cross section at the minimum $|t|$ with a different approach, based on collinear kernel improvement.

Structural intensity analysis for car body design: going beyond interpretation issues through vector field processing

description: In this paper we consider an energetic approach for car body design at low and mid frequencies. To achieve NVH performance target, a classical strategy consists in lowering input power and controlling its dissipation. The present paper focuses on the relation between dissipation phenomena and structural intensity. The final goal of these investigations is to improve abilities to manage energy propagation within the car body. The proposed approach does not use structural intensity to identify sources – a classic use of sound intensity – but sets the vibration source as an input data of the problem; the unknowns are the paths and the dissipation areas of vibrational energy. Intensity divergence allows an accurate localization of vibration sources and energy dissipation areas. Structural intensity is a vector field, thus a fundamental property allows to separate it into irrotational (curl-free) and solenoidal (divergence-free) components. Therefore using streamlines of irrotational component greatly simplifies the reading of the structural intensity field, as illustrated on an academic plate. To end with, structural intensity is computed on a car body model. Structural intensity field appears to be very complex almost everywhere, so analysis of structural intensity display would require a simplification of the vector field. Displaying both divergence and irrotational component would meet the demand.

description: For a simple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ and an irreducible faithful representation $π$ of $\mathfrak{g}$, we introduce the Schur polynomials of $(\mathfrak{g},π)$-type. We then derive the Sato-Zhou type formula for tau functions of the Drinfeld-Sokolov (DS) hierarchy of $\mathfrak{g}$-type. Namely, we show that the tau functions are linear combinations of the Schur polynomials of $(\mathfrak{g},π)$-type with the coefficients being the Plücker coordinates. As an application, we provide a way of computing polynomial tau functions for the DS hierarchy. For $\mathfrak{g}$ of low rank, we give several examples of polynomial tau functions, and use them to detect bilinear equations for the DS hierarchy.

description: We present the initial results of a study of globular clusters in M31, using the Faint Object Camera (FOC) on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). The sample of objects consists of 13 clusters spanning a range of properties. Three inde- pendent image deconvolution techniques were used in order to compensate for the optical problems of the HST, leading to mutually fully consistent results. We present detailed tests and comparisons to determine the reliability and limits of these deconvolution methods, and conclude that high-quality surface photome- try of M31 globulars is possible with the HST data. Surface brightness profiles have been extracted, and core radii, half-light radii, and central surface brightness values have been measured for all of the clusters in the sample. Their comparison with the values derived from ground-based observations indi- cates the later to be systematically and strongly biased by the seeing effects, as it may be expected. A comparison of the structural parameters with those of the Galactic globulars shows that the structural properties of the M31 globu- lars are very similar to those of their Galactic counterparts. A candidate for a post-core-collapse cluster, Bo 343 = G 105, has been already identified from these data; this is the first such detection in the M31 g. c. system.

Motion of grain boundaries incorporating dislocation structure

Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this paper, we present a continuum model for the dynamics of low angle grain boundaries in two dimensions based on the motion of constituent dislocations of the grain boundaries. The continuum model consists of an equation for the motion of grain boundaries (i.e., motion of the constituent dislocations in the grain boundary normal direction) and equations for the dislocation structure evolution on the grain boundaries. This model is derived from the discrete dislocation dynamics model. The long-range elastic interaction between dislocations is included in the continuum model, which ensures that the dislocation structure on a grain boundary is consistent with the Frank's formula. These evolution of the grain boundary and its dislocation structure are able to describe both normal motion and tangential translation of the grain boundary and grain rotation due to both coupling and sliding. Since the continuum model is based upon dislocation structure, it naturally accounts for the grain boundary shape change during the motion and rotation of the grain boundary by motion and reaction of the constituent dislocations. Using the derived continuum grain boundary dynamics model, simulations are performed for the dynamics of circular and non-circular two dimensional grain boundaries, and the results are validated by discrete dislocation dynamics simulations.

description: The melting of quasi-long-range superconductivity in two spatial dimensions occurs through the proliferation and unbinding of vortex-antivortex pairs -- a phenomenon known as the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) transition. Although signatures of this transition have been observed in bulk measurements, these experiments are often complicated, ambiguous, and unable to resolve the rich physics of the vortex unbinding transition. Here we show that local noise magnetometry is a sensitive, noninvasive probe that can provide direct information about the scale-dependent vortex dynamics. In particular, by resolving the distance and temperature dependence of the magnetic noise, it may be possible to experimentally study the renormalization group flow equations of the vortex gas and track the onset of vortex unbinding in situ. Specifically, we predict i) a nonmonotonic dependence of the noise on temperature and ii) the local noise is almost independent of the sample-probe distance at the BKT transition. We also show that noise magnetometry can distinguish Gaussian superconducting order-parameter fluctuations from topological vortex fluctuations and can detect the emergence of unbound vortices. The weak distance dependence at the BKT transition can also be used to distinguish it from quasiparticle background noise. Our predictions may be within experimental reach for a number of unconventional superconductors.
