description: We develop a technique to construct analytical solutions of the linear perturbations of inflation with a nonlinear dispersion relation, due to quantum effects of the early universe. Error bounds are given and studied in detail. The analytical solutions describe the exact evolution of the perturbations extremely well even when only the first-order approximations is used.

description: A combinatorial simplex algorithm is an instance of the simplex method in which the pivoting depends on combinatorial data only. We show that any algorithm of this kind admits a tropical analogue which can be used to solve mean payoff games. Moreover, any combinatorial simplex algorithm with a strongly polynomial complexity (the existence of such an algorithm is open) would provide in this way a strongly polynomial algorithm solving mean payoff games. Mean payoff games are known to be in NP and co-NP; whether they can be solved in polynomial time is an open problem. Our algorithm relies on a tropical implementation of the simplex method over a real closed field of Hahn series. One of the key ingredients is a new scheme for symbolic perturbation which allows us to lift an arbitrary mean payoff game instance into a non-degenerate linear program over Hahn series.

Creators: name: Schwertführer, Maximilian

description: Schauspiel als Darstellende Kunst basiert auf der menschlichen Wahrnehmung, verbunden mit allen Sinnen des Menschen. Schauspielende versetzen sich durch unterschiedliche Methoden in Wahrnehmungs- und Bewusstseinszustände. Viele SchauspielerInnen und in weiterer Folge SchauspieltheoretikerInnen, wie Stella Adler, Sanford Meisner und Lee Strasberg, welche Schüler und Schülerin von dem sowjetischen Schauspieler und Regisseur Konstantin Stanislawski waren, haben ebenso ihre eigenen Schauspielmethoden entwickelt. Eher unbekannt ist die Schauspielmethode von Michael Cechov. Ziel dieser Masterarbeit ist es, mit ausgewählten Schauspielmethoden – insbesondere von Michael Cechov – Vorgänge der Wahrnehmung bei den Schauspielenden zu erforschen und somit neuropsychologische Bewegungen und Ausdrucksgebärden als konkrete Erfahrungen von Wahrnehmung als leibliche Disposition sichtbar zu machen. Handlungen werden in Cechovs Methode als theatrale Strategien erforscht und sind auch das Bindeglied zu neuropsychologischen Aspekten. Es entsteht die Suche nach einer Formel für die Wahrhaftigkeit, gemeinsam mit Expert:Innen zu dieser Thematik. Ich frage nach dem „Wie": Wie entsteht die Wahrhaftigkeit in der Schauspielkunst nur durch Bewusstseinszustände? Wieweit kommt ein Spielender in einen veränderten Wahrnehmungszustand (Rausch, Trance)? Inwiefern haben neuropsychologische Mechanismen im Gehirn – insbesondere der kognitive Teil – Einfluss auf das Spiel?
description: Acting as a performing art is based on human perception, connected to all human senses. Actors use different methods to put themselves in states of perception and consciousness. Many actors and acting theorists, such as Stella Adler, Sanford Meisner and Lee Strasberg, who were students of the Russian actor and director Konstantin Stanislawski, also developed their own acting methods. Michael Cechov's acting method is rather unknown. The aim of this master's thesis is to use selected acting methods - in particular those of Michael Cechov - to research processes of perception in the actors/actors and thus to make neuropsychological movements and expressive gestures visible as concrete experiences of perception as a bodily disposition. In Cechov's method, bodily impulses are explored as theatrical strategies and are also the link to neuropsychological aspects. I ́m exploring about "how”: how does truthfulness in the art of acting come about only through states of consciousness? How far does a player get into an altered state of perception (intoxication, trance)? To what extent do neuropsychological mechanisms in the brain - especially the cognitive part - influence the game?

description: The last two decades have seen an increased interest in reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions from buildings. However, buildings and spaces are increasingly being expected to provide the best possible thermal comfort environment to the occupants. Commercial buildings are trying to adopt greener technologies in order to reduce energy consumption and provide better environment for their occupants as it makes financial sense. Residential buildings, however, are mostly owned by individuals and the adoption of greener practices is low due to the lack of knowledge by the decision makers, i.e. the homeowners. This situation can be changed by acquiring an in-depth understanding on thermal comfort in residential buildings. Currently, there are mathematical models to help predict human thermal comfort. However, will it be suitable for residential building especially in UK.

We reduce the problem to studying the statistics of extrema of a certain Gaussian process and demonstrate that, in spite of the randomness of the single-particle levels, the longitudinal spin susceptibility and all its moments diverge simultaneously at the point of the Stoner instability which is determined by the standard criterion involving the mean level spacing only.

description: Recently, Thornton et al. reported the detection of four fast radio bursts (FRBs). The dispersion measures indicate that the sources of these FRBs are at cosmological distance. Given the large full sky event rate ~ 10^4 sky^-1 day^-1, the FRBs are a promising target for multi-messenger astronomy. Here we propose double degenerate, binary white-dwarf (WD) mergers as the source of FRBs, which are produced by coherent emission from the polar region of a rapidly rotating, magnetized massive WD formed after the merger. The basic characteristics of the FRBs, such as the energetics, emission duration and event rate, can be consistently explained in this scenario. As a result, we predict that some FRBs can accompany type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) or X-ray debris disks. Simultaneous detection could test our scenario and probe the progenitors of SNe Ia, and moreover would provide a novel constraint on the cosmological parameters. We strongly encourage future SN and X-ray surveys that follow up FRBs.

Rapidity distributions in exclusive Z + jet and photon + jet events in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)

description: Rapidity distributions are presented for events containing either a Z boson or a photon with a single jet in proton-proton collisions produced at the CERN LHC. The data, collected with the CMS detector at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV, correspond to an integrated luminosity of 5.0 inverse femtobarns. The individual rapidity distributions of the boson and the jet are consistent within 5% with expectations from perturbative QCD. However, QCD predictions for the sum and the difference in rapidities of the two final-state objects show discrepancies with CMS data. In particular, next-to-leading-order QCD calculations, and two common Monte Carlo event generators using different methods to match matrix-element partons with parton showers, appear inconsistent with the data as well as with each other.

description: Recent experiments have demonstrated a fluctuation-induced lateral trapping of spherical colloidal particles immersed in a binary liquid mixture near its critical demixing point and exposed to chemically patterned substrates. Inspired by these experiments, we study this kind of effective interaction, known as the critical Casimir effect, for elongated colloids of cylindrical shape. This adds orientational degrees of freedom. When the colloidal particles are close to a chemically structured substrate, a critical Casimir torque acting on the colloids emerges. We calculate this torque on the basis of the Derjaguin approximation. The range of validity of the latter is assessed via mean-field theory. This assessment shows that the Derjaguin approximation is reliable in experimentally relevant regimes, so that we extend it to Janus particles endowed with opposing adsorption preferences. Our analysis indicates that critical Casimir interactions are capable of achieving well-defined, reversible alignments both of chemically homogeneous and of Janus cylinders.

description: For integers g >= 3, k >= 2, call a number N a (g,k)-reverse multiple if the reversal of N in base g is equal to k times N. The numbers 1089 and 2178 are the two smallest (10,k)-reverse multiples, their reversals being 9801 = 9x1089 and 8712 = 4x2178. In 1992, A. L. Young introduced certain trees in order to study the problem of finding all (g,k)-reverse multiples. By using modified versions of her trees, which we call Young graphs, we determine the possible values of k for bases g = 2 through 100, and then show how to apply the transfer-matrix method to enumerate the (g,k)-reverse multiples with a given number of base-g digits. These Young graphs are interesting finite directed graphs, whose structure is not at all well understood.

description: We exhibit novel effects (absent in GR) of sources in massive gravity. First, we show that removing its ghost mode forces a field-current identity: The metric's trace is locally proportional to that of its stress tensor; a point source implies a metric singularity enhanced by the square of the graviton's range. Second, exterior solutions acquire spatial stress hair--their metric components depend on the interior T_ij. Also, in contrast to naive expectations, the Newtonian potential of a source is now determined by both its spatial stress and mass. Our explicit results are obtained at linear, Fierz-Pauli, level, but qualitatively persist nonlinearly.

description: We present the first public release of our generic neural network training algorithm, called SkyNet. This efficient and robust machine learning tool is able to train large and deep feed-forward neural networks, including autoencoders, for use in a wide range of supervised and unsupervised learning applications, such as regression, classification, density estimation, clustering and dimensionality reduction. SkyNet uses a `pre-training' method to obtain a set of network parameters that has empirically been shown to be close to a good solution, followed by further optimisation using a regularised variant of Newton's method, where the level of regularisation is determined and adjusted automatically; the latter uses second-order derivative information to improve convergence, but without the need to evaluate or store the full Hessian matrix, by using a fast approximate method to calculate Hessian-vector products. This combination of methods allows for the training of complicated networks that are difficult to optimise using standard backpropagation techniques. SkyNet employs convergence criteria that naturally prevent overfitting, and also includes a fast algorithm for estimating the accuracy of network outputs. The utility and flexibility of SkyNet are demonstrated by application to a number of toy problems, and to astronomical problems focusing on the recovery of structure from blurred and noisy images, the identification of gamma-ray bursters, and the compression and denoising of galaxy images. The SkyNet software, which is implemented in standard ANSI C and fully parallelised using MPI, is available at http://www.mrao.cam.ac.uk/software/skynet/.

description: Since the onset of globalization, rapid change in the nature and pace of global integration has made people, firms, cities and countries more connected, and by implication, integrated into a global economy and global society. Perhaps unsurprisingly, attention was first cast towards those world cities located in advanced industrial countries. Over the past twenty years, a group of emerging economies – the so-called BRICS economies of Brazil, Russia, India and China, South Africa – have become more central participants in global trade and investments. Despite significant interest in China little attention has been directed towards other BRICS economies. Each is noteworthy in its own way but perhaps the biggest single oversight is India – the sixth largest economy in the world and with a population exceeding 1.3 billion. The aim of this thesis is therefore to provide the first in-depth account of how Indian cities are connected into the world city network. Examining why some Indian cities are better connected than others, this thesis accounts for the changing functional roles of Indian cities in the world city network, develops a typology of Indian cities, and seeks to understand how a better knowledge of Indian cities and how they are connected regionally and globally aids global urban research. Adopting a historical approach to account for the changing functional roles of Indian cities, the thesis then uses an Indian company-level dataset and the classic GaWC global network connectivity approach, to reveal firm-level geographies of Indian cities and by implication, indicating how understanding city connectivity of Indian cities can help to understand India’s recent economic development.

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

description: The ETH model of the pion-nucleon ($πN$) interaction contains $t$-channel $σ$- and $ρ$-exchange graphs, as well as the $s$- and $u$-channel contributions with the well-established $s$ and $p$ baryon states with masses below $2$ GeV as virtual particles; the model amplitudes obey crossing symmetry and isospin invariance. In the present work, we give the analytical expressions for the model contributions to the $K$-matrix elements up to (and including) the $f$ waves. We also extract a new phase-shift solution after performing a partial-wave analysis of meson-factory $π^\pm p$ elastic-scattering data below $100$ MeV; included in our results now are also the effects of the variation of the $σ$-meson mass in the interval which is currently recommended by the Particle-Data Group. Finally, we revisit the subject of the $πN$ $Σ$ term and, using the model amplitudes, obtain $Σ= 72.4 \pm 3.1$ MeV. Our prediction agrees well with the result extracted with Olsson's method, after a few flaws in his paper [Phys. Lett. B 482 (2000) 50] were corrected.

description: Given a subset S of vertices of an undirected graph G, the cut-improvement problem asks us to find a subset S that is similar to A but has smaller conductance. A very elegant algorithm for this problem has been given by Andersen and Lang [AL08] and requires solving a small number of single-commodity maximum flow computations over the whole graph G. In this paper, we introduce LocalImprove, the first cut-improvement algorithm that is local, i.e. that runs in time dependent on the size of the input set A rather than on the size of the entire graph. Moreover, LocalImprove achieves this local behaviour while essentially matching the same theoretical guarantee as the global algorithm of Andersen and Lang. The main application of LocalImprove is to the design of better local-graph-partitioning algorithms. All previously known local algorithms for graph partitioning are random-walk based and can only guarantee an output conductance of O(\sqrt{OPT}) when the target set has conductance OPT \in [0,1]. Very recently, Zhu, Lattanzi and Mirrokni [ZLM13] improved this to O(OPT / \sqrt{CONN}) where the internal connectivity parameter CONN \in [0,1] is defined as the reciprocal of the mixing time of the random walk over the graph induced by the target set. In this work, we show how to use LocalImprove to obtain a constant approximation O(OPT) as long as CONN/OPT = Omega(1). This yields the first flow-based algorithm. Moreover, its performance strictly outperforms the ones based on random walks and surprisingly matches that of the best known global algorithm, which is SDP-based, in this parameter regime [MMV12]. Finally, our results show that spectral methods are not the only viable approach to the construction of local graph partitioning algorithm and open door to the study of algorithms with even better approximation and locality guarantees.

description: In this paper we study single-parametric systems of integer shifts of Gauss and Lorenz functions. In case of Cauchy--Lorenz system we explicitly calculate nod functions and prove that it tends to sinc function in limit. For both Gauss and Cauchy--Lorenz systems and corresponding nod functions we explicitly calculate Riesz constants via trigonometric, hyperbolic and Jacobi theta-functions, also limit behavior of this values is found depending on parameters. A special result is a sharp monotonicity property proved for a special ratio of Jacobi theta-functions which is important in many areas. Brief discussion of numerical methods is included with additional references. Different applications are outlined to coherent states and atomic spectra. Some unsolved problems and comments are added.

description: In a previous paper, one of us has showed that, at least in some cases, the Kerr-nature of astrophysical black hole candidates is extremely difficult to test and current techniques, even in presence of excellent data not available today, cannot distinguish a Kerr black hole from a Bardeen one, despite the substantial difference of the two backgrounds. In this paper, we investigate if the detection of the "shadow" of nearby super-massive black hole candidates by near future mm/sub-mm very long baseline interferometry experiments can do the job. More specifically, we consider the measurement of the Kerr spin parameter of the Bardeen and Hayward regular black holes from their shadow, and we then compare the result with the estimate inferred from the K$α$ iron line and from the frequency of the innermost stable circular orbit. For non-rotating black holes, the shadow approach provides different values, and therefore the Kerr black hole hypothesis can potentially be tested. For near extremal objects, all the approaches give quite similar results, and therefore it is not possible to constrain deviations from the Kerr solution. The present work confirms that it is definitively challenging to test this kind of metrics, even with future facilities. However, the detection of a source that looks like a fast-rotating Kerr black hole can put meaningful constraints on the nature of the compact object.

description: Metric-affine geometry provides a non-trivial extension of the general relativity where the metric and connection are treated as the two independent fundamental quantities in constructing the space-time (with non-vanishing torsion and non-metricity). In this paper we study the generic form of action in this formalism, and then construct the Weyl-invariant version of this theory. It is shown that in Weitzenbock space, the obtained Weyl-invariant action can cover the conformally invariant teleparallel action. Finally the related field equations are obtained in the general case.

description: We examine the notion of inconsistency in pairwise comparisons and propose an axiomatization which is independent of any method of approximation or the inconsistency indicator definition (e.g., Analytic Hierarchy Process, AHP). It has been proven that the eigenvalue-based inconsistency (proposed as a part of AHP) is incorrect.
description: Enhanced text, with 21 pages and 3 figures, proves that arbitrarily inaccurate pairwise matrices are considered acceptable by theories with a inconsistency based on the principal eigenvalue (e.g., AHP). CPC (corner pairwise comparisons) matrix is the crucial part of this study as it invalidates any eigenvalue-based inconsistency. All comments are highly appreciated

description: To calibrate automatic pipelines that determine atmospheric parameters of stars, one needs a sample of stars -- ``benchmark stars'' -- with well defined parameters to be used as a reference We provide a detailed documentation of the determination of the iron abundance of the 34 FGK-type benchmark stars selected to be the pillars for calibration of the one billion Gaia stars. They cover a wide range of temperatures, surface gravities and metallicities. Up to seven different methods were used to analyze an observed spectral library of high resolution and high signal-to-noise ratio. The metallicity was determined assuming a value of effective temperature and surface gravity obtained from fundamental relations, i.e. these parameters were known a priori independently from the spectra. We present a set of metallicity values obtained in a homogeneous way for our sample of Benchmark Stars. In addition to this value, we provide a detailed documentation of the associated uncertainties. Finally, we report for the first time a value of the metallicity of the cool giant psi Phe.

Vector-like Bottom Quarks in Composite Higgs Models

description: Like many other models, Composite Higgs Models feature the existence of heavy vector-like quarks. Mixing effects between the Standard Model fields and the heavy states, which can be quite large in case of the top quark, imply deviations from the SM. In this work we investigate the possibility of heavy bottom partners. We show that they can have a significant impact on electroweak precision observables and the current Higgs results if there is a sizeable mixing with the bottom quark. We explicitly check that the constraints from the measurement of the CKM matrix element $V_{tb}$ are fulfilled, and we test the compatibility with the electroweak precision observables. In particular we evaluate the constraint from the $Z$ coupling to left-handed bottom quarks. General formulae have been derived which include the effects of new bottom partners in the loop corrections to this coupling and which can be applied to other models with similar particle content. Furthermore, the constraints from direct searches for heavy states at the LHC and from the Higgs search results have been included in our analysis. The best agreement with all the considered constraints is achieved for medium to large compositeness of the left-handed top and bottom quarks.

description: In the early 1980's the author proved G.W. Whitehead's conjecture about stable homotopy groups and symmetric products. In the mid 1990's, Arone and Mahowald showed that the Goodwillie tower of the identity had remarkably good properties when specialized to odd dimensional spheres. In this paper we prove that these results are linked, as has been long suspected. We give a state-of-the-art proof of the Whitehead conjecture valid for all primes, and simultaneously show that the identity tower specialized to the circle collapses in the expected sense. Key to our work is that Steenrod algebra module maps between the primitives in the mod p homology of certain infinite loopspaces are determined by elements in the mod p Hecke algebras of type A. Certain maps between spaces are shown to be chain homotopy contractions by using identities in these Hecke algebras.

description: Abstract

The odd-even license plate policy is a key initiative by the Jakarta Provincial Government to reduce private vehicle usage on designated roads to combat traffic congestion. Since its inception, the number of roads under this policy has steadily increased from 5 in 2016 to 25 in 2019, covering various areas of Jakarta, including West, Central, East, and South Jakarta. Despite the policy's expansion, data indicates an unexpected rise in passenger vehicle purchases in Jakarta and surrounding regions, suggesting limited effectiveness in reducing traffic congestion. Furthermore, while Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) were exempted from the odd-even restriction starting in 2019, the adoption rate of BEVs has not kept pace with the growth of Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicles. Currently, ICE vehicles continue to dominate the roads under the odd-even policy. To identify the most effective strategies for managing ICE vehicle usage, a k-means clustering analysis is proposed to assess the characteristics of the 25 odd-even roads, including road capacity, average speed, and traffic congestion. By clustering these roads based on their unique characteristics, more targeted and efficient policies can be developed to promote sustainable urban mobility and alleviate congestion in Jakarta.

description: We study a one-dimensional totally asymmetric simple exclusion process with one special site from which particles fly to any empty site (not just to the neighboring site). The system attains a non-trivial stationary state with density profile varying over the spatial extent of the system. The density profile undergoes a non-equilibrium phase transition when the average density passes through the critical value 1-1/[4(1-ln 2)]=0.185277..., viz. in addition to the discontinuity in the vicinity of the special site, a shock wave is formed in the bulk of the system when the density exceeds the critical density.
