description: This dissertation explores the conditions and the extent to which innovations, by both users and by firms, can originate in developing countries and diffuse to the rest of the world. The primary setting for these studies is the mobile financial services industry. Additionally, this dissertation looks at the overall significance of user innovation at the country level in order to discern drivers of user innovation diffusion. Finally, it investigates implications for innovation policy. These topics are addressed in three studies. The first study examines two main research questions. First, to what extent can users play a role in innovation in developing countries? Second, what is the global relevance and diffusion of innovations that originate in developing countries? This study finds that users pioneered over half of mobile financial services and that 85% of the services originated in developing countries. A comparison between all innovations in this industry shows that user innovations diffuse at more than double the rate of firm innovations. Additionally, three-quarters of the innovations that originated in developing countries diffused to OECD countries. This study also proposes a new methodology to analyze the sources of service innovations, which can be used in future research. The second study tries to answer the following research question: Under what conditions can industries emerge in the economic ‘South’? In addition, what firms are successful at entering in the South? This study uses a hand-collected dataset from the mobile financial services industry. We find that latent demand is an important driver for firm entry in developing countries, as is market share. Furthermore, previous entry in the industry leads to industry-specific knowledge accumulation, which spills over within firms and increases the likelihood of subsequent entry into other countries. The third study examines the characteristics of diffusion of user innovations using data from a large-scale national survey conducted in Portugal. It looks at differences between market and non-market channels of diffusion for professional-user innovators as well as end-user innovators. The main findings are that although most user innovators are willing to share their innovations for free, they do not actively inform other people about their solutions, which negatively affects diffusion. Furthermore, this research concludes that professional-user innovators are significantly more likely to protect their intellectual property than end-user innovators, which increases the likelihood of commercialization of the innovation.

description: We analyze 3-loop contributions to the gauge coupling felt by ultrasoft ("magnetostatic") modes in hot Yang-Mills theory. So-called soft/hard terms, originating from dimension-six operators within the soft effective theory, are shown to cancel 1097/1098 of the IR divergence found in a recent determination of the hard 3-loop contribution to the soft gauge coupling. The remaining 1/1098 originates from ultrasoft/hard contributions, induced by dimension-six operators in the ultrasoft effective theory. Soft 3-loop contributions are likewise computed, and are found to be IR divergent, rendering the ultrasoft gauge coupling non-perturbative at relative order O(alphas^{3/2}). We elaborate on the implications of these findings for effective theory studies of physical observables in thermal QCD.

description: Spins confined to point defects in atomically-thin semiconductors constitute well-defined atomic-scale quantum systems that are being explored as single photon emitters and spin qubits. Here, we investigate the in-gap electronic structure of individual sulphur vacancies in molybdenum disulphide (MoS2) monolayers using resonant tunneling scanning probe spectroscopy in the Coulomb blockade regime. Spectroscopic mapping of defect wavefunctions reveals an interplay of local symmetry breaking by a charge-state dependent Jahn-Teller lattice distortion that, when combined with strong (~100 meV) spin-orbit coupling, leads to a locking of an unpaired spin-1/2 magnetic moment to the lattice at low temperature, susceptible to lattice strain. Our results provide new insights into spin and electronic structure of vacancy induced in-gap states towards their application as electrically and optically addressable quantum systems.

description: Excavations at Casas Grandes, Chihuahua, Mexico have produced 576 burials dating between the 12th and 14th centuries. Social differentiation was investigated among Casas Grandians by analyzing a series of burial attributes defined from the society's mortuary program. An attempt was made to determine the manner degree to which social life at Casas Grandes was hierarchically structured during the Medio Period (ca. A.D. 1060 to 1340). Specifically, the hypothesis that Casas Grandes was organized on the basis of ascriptive ranking was tested. This hypothesis was evaluated by testing for the presence of symbolic indicators of distinct offices of power and rank by reference to qualitative or categorical attributes of burial treatment. Univariate and multivariate analyses of the attributes of Casas Grandes burials have demonstrated that the burial attributes cluster into several presumed social-defined dimensions of differentiation. These dimensions are assumed to indicate different degrees of access to increasingly less common facets of burial treatment which may signify differences in social ranking. Finally, the implications of this study and directions for future investigations of hierarchical organization are discussed.

description: Recent research has highlighted the potential of LLM applications, like ChatGPT, for performing label annotation on social computing text. However, it is already well known that performance hinges on the quality of the input prompts. To address this, there has been a flurry of research into prompt tuning -- techniques and guidelines that attempt to improve the quality of prompts. Yet these largely rely on manual effort and prior knowledge of the dataset being annotated. To address this limitation, we propose APT-Pipe, an automated prompt-tuning pipeline. APT-Pipe aims to automatically tune prompts to enhance ChatGPT's text classification performance on any given dataset. We implement APT-Pipe and test it across twelve distinct text classification datasets. We find that prompts tuned by APT-Pipe help ChatGPT achieve higher weighted F1-score on nine out of twelve experimented datasets, with an improvement of 7.01% on average. We further highlight APT-Pipe's flexibility as a framework by showing how it can be extended to support additional tuning mechanisms.

description: The free energy and magnetization for the general $SU(N)$ one impurity Kondo model in the magnetic field, $h$, are calculated by extending the previous $1/N$ expansion technique: the saddle point is determined self-consistently to the $1/N$ order. The obtained universal field dependent magnetization $M(h/T_{K})$ by this simple method is shown analytically to be asymptotically exact at both $h \ll T_{K}$ and $h \gg T_{K}$ limits. For general ''$f$-electron'' fillings, except half filling, the $M(h/T_{K})$ curves cross continuously from weak to strong coupling limit, but overestimate the curvature in the crossover region for moderate $N$. The magnetic Wilson crossover numbers are calculated for amusement. Our results explicitly verify that the $1/N$ parameter is non-singular under the adiabatic continuation.

description: The absolute accuracy of the estimated parameters of gravitational wave sources will be fundamentally limited by the calibration uncertainties of the detectors in upcoming observation runs with the increased number of source statistics. Photon calibrators have so far been the primary tools for absolute calibration of test-mass displacement, relying on measurement of the photon pressure. The current technological limit of the absolute calibration uncertainty for gravitational-wave amplitudes is limited to a few percent, due to the uncertainty in the laser power-standard maintained by the metrology institutes. To reduce this uncertainty, this article proposes a novel calibration method that combines a photon calibrator and a gravity field calibrator. The gravity field calibrator achieves modulation of the displacement of the test mass by generating a gravity gradient. In previous studies, uncertainty in the distance between the test mass and the gravity field calibrator has proven a serious source of systematic error. To suppress this uncertainty, we propose a novel method that uses a combination of quadrupole and hexapole mass distributions in the gravity field calibrator. We estimate the absolute uncertainty associated with method to be as low as 0.17~%, which is ten times less than that of previous methods.

description: We study a family of non-Abelian topological models in a lattice that arise by modifying the Kitaev model through the introduction of single-qudit terms. The effect of these terms amounts to a reduction of the discrete gauge symmetry with respect to the original systems, which corresponds to a generalized mechanism of explicit symmetry breaking. The topological order is either partially lost or completely destroyed throughout the various models. The new systems display condensation and confinement of the topological charges present in the standard non-Abelian Kitaev models, which we study in terms of ribbon operator algebras.

Realization of Sneutrino Self-interacting Dark Matter in the Focus Point Supersymmetry

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: The Lightest Supersymmetric Particle (LSP) is generally regarded as higgsino in focus point supersymmetry (SUSY). Under such circumstance it leads to bileptino LSP when the MSSM is extended by $U(1)_{B-L}$ gauge group within the framework of Double Focus Point (DFP) supersymmetry. The bileptino is a copy of higgsino whose partner, bilepton, is used to break $U(1)_{B-L}$ gauge symmetry spontaneously. Such scenario, however, is not favored by direct detection since it leads to unacceptable spin-independent cross section when one requires correct self-scattering cross section. We point out that is not necessarily the case even in the presence of light $Z^{\prime}$. The right-handed sneutrino in this model acts as LSP in most of parameter space for non-vanishing soft trilinear coupling $T_η$. It is thus consistent of the requirement of DFP SUSY without involving any direct detection issue. The corrected relic abundance could be achieved via sneutrino annihilate into pair of bilepton which also serve as light mediator in Self-Interacting Dark Matter (SIDM). Moreover, stringent constraint comes from CMB anisotropies can be evaded by considering retarded decay of right-handed neutrinos. We further stress the need for a large soft trilinear term $T_η$ in order to generate desirable self-scattering cross section $σ/m_{\tildeν_R}$ with moderate Yukawa coupling $Y_η$. The numerical calculation illustrates that SIDM is reliable in our model from the scales of dwarf galaxy to galaxy cluster.

JWST reveals a high fraction of disk breaks at $1\leq z\leq 3$

description: We analyzed the deconvolved surface brightness profiles of 247 massive and angularly large disk galaxies at $1\leq z\leq 3$ to study high-redshift disk breaks, using F356W-band images from the Cosmic Evolution Early Release Science survey (CEERS). We found that 12.6% of these galaxies exhibit type I (exponential) profiles, 56.7% exhibit type II (down-bending) profiles, and 34.8% exhibit type III (up-bending) profiles. Moreover, we showed that galaxies that are more massive, centrally concentrated, or redder, tend to show fewer type II and more type III breaks. These fractions and the detected dependencies on galaxy properties are in good agreement with those observed in the Local Universe. In particular, the ratio of the type II disk break radius to the bar radius in barred galaxies typically peaks at a value of 2.25, perhaps due to bar-induced radial migration. However, the timescale for secular evolution may be too lengthy to explain the observed breaks at such high redshifts. Instead, violent disk instabilities may be responsible, where spiral arms and clumps torque fling out the material, leading to the formation of outer exponential disks. Our results provide further evidence for the assertion that the Hubble Sequence was already in place during these early periods.

description: We study in a systematic and modular invariant way gaugino condensation in the hidden sector as a potential source of hierarchical supersymmetry breaking and a non--trivial potential for the dilaton $S$ whose real part corresponds to the tree level gauge coupling constant (${\rm Re}\ S\sim g_{gut}^{-2}$). For the case of pure Yang--Mills condensation, we show that no realistic results (in particular no reasonable values for ${\rm Re}\ S$) can emerge, even if the hidden gauge group is not simple. However, in the presence of hidden matter (i.e. the most frequent case) there arises a very interesting class of scenarios with two or more hidden condensing groups for which the dilaton dynamically acquires a reasonable value (${\rm Re}\ S\sim 2$) and supersymmetry is broken at the correct scale ($m_{3/2}\sim 10^3\ GeV$) with no need of fine--tuning. Actually, good values for ${\rm Re}\ S$ and $m_{3/2}$ are correlated. We make an exhaustive classification of the working possibilities. Remarkably, the results are basically independent from the value of $δ^{GS}$ (the contributions from the Green--Schwarz mechanism). The radius of the compactified space also acquires an expectation value, breaking duality spontaneously.

description: The present paper aims at locating the breakings of the integration process of an international system observed during about 50 years in the 19th century. A historical study could link them to special events, which operated as exogenous shocks on this process. The indicator of integration used is the spread between the highest and the lowest among the London, Hamburg and Paris gold-silver prices. Three algorithms are combined to study this integration: a periodization obtained with the SOM algorithm is confronted to the estimation of a two-regime Markov switching model, in order to give an interpretation of the changes of regime; in the same time change-points are identified over the whole period providing a more precise interpretation of the various types of regulation.

description: We present a simple way to describe the lowest unoccupied diffuse states in carbon nanostructures in density functional theory (DFT) calculations using a minimal LCAO (linear combination of atomic orbitals) basis set. By comparing plane wave basis calculations, we show how these states can be captured by adding long-range orbitals to the standard LCAO basis sets for the extreme cases of planar sp2 (graphene) and curved carbon (C60). In particular, using Bessel functions with a long range as additional basis functions retain a minimal basis size. This provides a smaller and simpler atom-centered basis set compared to the standard pseudo-atomic orbitals (PAOs) with multiple polarization orbitals or by adding non-atom-centered states to the basis.

description: We report current progress on the synthesis of methods to alleviate two major difficulties in implementing a Monte Carlo Renormalization Group (MCRG) for quantum systems. In particular, we have utilized the loop-algorithm to reduce critical slowing down, and we have implemented an MCRG method in which the symmetries of the classical equivalent model need not be fully understood, since the Renormalization Group is given by the Monte Carlo simulation. We report preliminary results obtained when the resulting MCRG method is applied to the d=1 XXZ model. Our results are encouraging. However, since this model has a Kosterlitz-Thouless transition, it does not yet provide a full test of our MCRG method.

description: We confront a network model of human aging and mortality in which nodes represent health attributes that interact within a scale-free network topology, with observational data that uses both clinical and laboratory (pre-clinical) health deficits as network nodes. We find that individual health attributes exhibit a wide range of mutual information with mortality and that, with a re- construction of their relative connectivity, higher-ranked nodes are more informative. Surprisingly, we find a broad and overlapping range of mutual information of laboratory measures as compared with clinical measures. We confirm similar behavior between most-connected and least-connected model nodes, controlled by the nearest-neighbor connectivity. Furthermore, in both model and observational data, we find that the least-connected (laboratory) nodes damage earlier than the most-connected (clinical) deficits. A mean-field theory of our network model captures and explains this phenomenon, which results from the connectivity of nodes and of their connected neighbors. We find that other network topologies, including random, small-world, and assortative scale-free net- works, exhibit qualitatively different behavior. Our disassortative scale-free network model behaves consistently with our expanded phenomenology observed in human aging, and so is a useful tool to explore mechanisms of and to develop new predictive measures for human aging and mortality.

Optimization of x-ray production from an argon cluster jet, using a genetic algorithm, approximately doubled the measured energy through temporal modification of the 150 mJ driving laser pulse. This approach achieved an increased radiation yield through exploration of a multi-dimensional parameter space, without requiring detailed a priori knowledge of the complex cluster dynamics. The optimized laser pulses exhibited a slow rising edge to the intensity profile, which enhanced the laser energy coupling into the cluster medium, compared to the optimally compressed FWHM pulse (40 fs). Our work suggests that this technique can be more widely utilized for control of intense pulsed secondary radiation from petawatt-class laser systems.

description: The decay widths of $Υ(nS)$ $\rightarrow$ $\bar{d}^{\ast}(2380)+X$ with $n=1,2,3$ are studied in a phenomenological way. With the help of crossing symmetry, the decay widths are obtained by investigating the imaginary part of the forward scattering amplitudes between $d^\ast$ and $Υ(nS)$. The wave functions of $d^\ast$ and deuteron obtained in previous studies are used for calculating the amplitude. The interaction between $d^{\ast}$ ($d$) and $Υ$ is governed by the quark-meson interaction where the coupling constant is determined by fitting the observed widths of $Υ(nS)$ $\rightarrow$ $\bar{d}+X$. The numerical results show that the decay widths of $Υ(nS)$ $\rightarrow$ $\bar{d}^{\ast}+X$ are about $2 - 10$ times smaller than that of $\bar{d}+X$. The calculated momentum of $\bar{d^*}$ is in the range $0.3-0.8$ GeV. Therefore, it is very likely that one can find $\bar{d}^\ast(2380)$ in these semi-inclusive decay processes.

description: Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) presents a formidable challenge in robotics, involving the dynamic construction of a map while concurrently determining the precise location of the robotic agent within an unfamiliar environment. This intricate task is further compounded by the inherent "chicken-and-egg" dilemma, where accurate mapping relies on a dependable estimation of the robot's location, and vice versa. Moreover, the computational intensity of SLAM adds an additional layer of complexity, making it a crucial yet demanding topic in the field. In our research, we address the challenges of SLAM by adopting the Particle Filter SLAM method. Our approach leverages encoded data and fiber optic gyro (FOG) information to enable precise estimation of vehicle motion, while lidar technology contributes to environmental perception by providing detailed insights into surrounding obstacles. The integration of these data streams culminates in the establishment of a Particle Filter SLAM framework, representing a key endeavor in this paper to effectively navigate and overcome the complexities associated with simultaneous localization and mapping in robotic systems.

Matrix Models and One Dimensional Open String Theory (Revised)

description: We propose a random matrix model as a representation for $D=1$ open strings. We show that the model is equivalent to $N$ fermions with spin in a central potential that also includes a long-range ferromagnetic interaction between the fermions that falls off as $1/(r_{ij})^2$. We find two interesting scaling limits and calculate the free energy for both situations. One limit corresponds to Dirichlet boundary conditions for the dual graphs and the other corresponds to Neumann conditions. We compute the boundary cosmological constant and show that it is of order $1/\log(β)$. We also briefly discuss a possible analog of the Das-Jevicki field for the open string tachyon. (n.b. This is a revised version of paper previously submitted to xxx@lanl.gov. The original version misidentified the Dirichlet and Neumann cases. This version also includes references to work by Yang that was missing in the original.)

description: The traditional picture of post-starburst galaxies as dust- and gas-poor merger remnants, rapidly transitioning to quiescence, has been recently challenged. Unexpected detections of a significant ISM in many post-starbursts raise important questions. Are they truly quiescent and, if so, what mechanisms inhibit further star formation? What processes dominate their ISM energetics? We present an infrared spectroscopic and photometric survey of 33 SDSS-selected E+A post-starbursts, aimed at resolving these questions. We find compact, warm dust reservoirs with high PAH abundances, and total gas and dust masses significantly higher than expected from stellar recycling alone. Both PAH/TIR and dust-to-burst stellar mass ratios are seen to decrease with post-burst age, indicative of the accumulating effects of dust destruction and an incipient transition to hot, early-type ISM properties. Their infrared spectral properties are unique, with dominant PAH emission, very weak nebular lines, unusually strong H$_{2}$ rotational emission, and deep ${\rm [C\, II]}$ deficits. There is substantial scatter among SFR indicators, and both PAH and TIR luminosities provide overestimates. Even as potential upper limits, all tracers show that the SFR has typically experienced a more than two order-of-magnitude decline since the starburst, and that the SFR is considerably lower than expected given both their stellar masses and molecular gas densities. These results paint a coherent picture of systems in which star formation was, indeed, rapidly truncated, but in which the ISM was $\textit{not}$ completely expelled, and is instead supported against collapse by latent or continued injection of turbulent or mechanical heating. The resulting aging burst populations provide a "high-soft" radiation field which seemingly dominates the E+As' unusual ISM energetics.

Universality and Scaling at the chiral transition in two-flavor QCD at finite temperature

description: The order of the phase transition in finite-temperature QCD with two degenerate light quarks is still an open problem and corresponds to the last question mark in the zero-density phase diagram of QCD. We argue that establishing the nature of the transition in this case is also a crucial test for numerical simulations of lattice QCD, allowing precise estimates of possible systematic errors related e.g. to the choice of fermion-simulation algorithm or of discretized formulation for fermions.

Radio Monitoring and High Resolution Observations of the Soft Gamma Ray Repeater 1806-20. by Vasisht et al. Postscript file, 13 pages

description: We report the results of radio flux-monitoring and high resolution observations at 3.6 cm with the VLA, of the central condensation in G10.0-0.3, the radio nebula surrounding the soft gamma ray repeater (SGR) 1806-20. The quiescent X-ray source AX1805.7-2025 is coincident with the radio core suggesting that G10.0-0.3 is a plerionic supernova remnant. The monitoring experiment was performed in 10 epochs spread over five months, starting just before the latest reactivation of SGR 1806-20 in gamma-rays. There is no apparent increase in the radio flux density from the central region of G10.0-0.3 on timescales of days to months following the gamma-ray bursts. At a resolution of 1 arcsec the peak region of G10.0-0.3 is seen to consist of a compact source with diffuse, one-sided emission, reminiscent of core-jet geometry seen in AGNs and some accreting Galactic binaries. By analogy with these latter sources, we argue that the SGR 1806-20 is coincident with the core component. If so, this is the first arcsecond localization of a high energy transient. The lack of radio variability and the low brightness temperature of the central component distinguish SGR 1806-20 from other accreting binaries. The structure of the high resolution radio image also does not particularly resemble that seen in the vicinity of young pulsars. Thus there is no compelling observational evidence for either of the two models discussed for SGRs, the pulsar model or the accreting binary model.

description: This document presents the results of phase I data recovery at a portion of AZ T:12:10 (ASM), hereafter referred to as Las Colinas, that is located in Phoenix, Maricopa County, Arizona. The work was conducted by Carter & Burgess (C&B) at the request of the City of Phoenix (COP) Archaeologist as Pueblo Grand Museum (PGM) Project No. PGM 2004-17 under an existing on-call archaeological services agreement (Contract No. 110324). The COP Cost Center number for this project is 8860150021. The project is sponsored by the COP Neighborhood Services Department, and was undertaken to determine the nature and extent of any cultural resources within the proposed location of a modular building, a sidewalk, and associated utilities. For purposes of this investigation, the term "cultural resources" refers to prehistoric or historic archaeological sites or objects and potentially significant historic buildings or structures. Phase I data recovery was conducted on September 6 and 7, 2005. Michael Stubing served as the Project Director, and Laurene Montero served as the Project Manager/Principal investigator. Crew for the project included Korri Turner and Sarah Grumbley. No prehistoric or historic features or artifacts were found as a result of the phase I data recovery. A proposed phase I data recovery trench in the location of a future utility line installation could not be excavated due to the presence of an existing electrical line. This trench will be excavated for utility installation purposes at a later date. It is recommended that this utility line excavation be monitored to determine if cultural resources are present.
