description: In this work, we present an analytical solution for QCD$\otimes$QED coupled Dokshitzer-Gribov-Lipatov-Altarelli-Parisi (DGLAP) evolution equations at the leading order (LO) accuracy in QED and next-to-leading order (NLO) accuracy in perturbative QCD using double Laplace transform. This technique is applied to obtain the singlet, gluon and photon distribution functions and also the proton structure function. We also obtain contribution of photon in proton at LO and NLO at high energy and successfully compare the proton structure function with HERA data \cite{12} and APFEL results \cite{7}. Some comparisons also have been done for the singlet and gluon distribution functions with the MSTW results\cite{9}. In addition, the contribution of photon distribution function inside the proton has been compared with results of MRST \cite{11} and with the contribution of sea quark distribution functions which obtained by MSTW \cite{9} and CTEQ6M \cite{14}.

description: Incarceration is an important form of policy feedback that affects political participation in many different contexts. However, this research often treats incarceration as a binary outcome, obscuring differences in how individuals experience incarceration. More generally, this is also a limitation of quantitative policy feedback research that typically does not explore differences in how policies are experienced and the potential heterogeneous effects generated by this variation. Research on incarceration and voting has also been constrained to suboptimal tests of the mechanisms at play such as political socialization and resource deprivation. Using administrative data from the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections merged with state voter files, I leverage discontinuities in the custody classification scores assigned to newly incarcerated individuals to study the causal effect of the harshness of one’s prison environment (e.g. minimum versus medium custody) on turnout. Results summary will go here. My results lend new new insight into the political consequences of incarceration and show how greater attention to not just whether or not a carceral encounter occurs but the nature of the encounter can enrich our understanding of how the carceral state affects political behavior.

description: Accurate quantum computing relies on the precision of quantum gates. However, quantum gates in practice are generally affected by dissipative environments, which can significantly reduce their fidelity. In this study, we elucidate fundamental relations between the average fidelity of generic quantum gates and the dissipation that occurs during the computing processes. Considering scenarios in which a quantum gate is subject to Markovian environments, we rigorously derive fidelity-dissipation relations that hold for arbitrary operational times. Intriguingly, when the quantum gate undergoes thermal relaxation, the result can be used as a valuable tool for estimating dissipation through experimentally measurable fidelity, without requiring detailed knowledge of the dissipative structure. For the case of arbitrary environments, we uncover a trade-off relation between the average fidelity and energy dissipation, implying that these quantities cannot be large simultaneously. Our results unveil the computational limitations imposed by thermodynamics, shedding light on the profound connection between thermodynamics and quantum computing.

description: We propose a short- and long-range corrected (SLC) hybrid scheme employing 100% Hartree-Fock (HF) exchange at both zero and infinite interelectronic distances, wherein three SLC hybrid density functionals with the D3 dispersion corrections (SLC-LDA-D3, SLC-PBE-D3, and SLC-B97-D3) are developed. SLC-PBE-D3 and SLC-B97-D3 are shown to be accurate for a very diverse range of applications, such as core ionization and excitation energies, thermochemistry, kinetics, noncovalent interactions, dissociation of symmetric radical cations, vertical ionization potentials, vertical electron affinities, fundamental gaps, and valence, Rydberg, and long-range charge-transfer excitation energies. Relative to omegaB97X-D, SLC-B97-D3 provides significant improvement for core ionization and excitation energies and noticeable improvement for the self-interaction, asymptote, energy-gap, and charge-transfer problems, while performing similarly for thermochemistry, kinetics, and noncovalent interactions.

description: UAV networks consisting of low SWaP (size, weight, and power), fixed-wing UAVs are used in many applications, including area monitoring, search and rescue, surveillance, and tracking. Performing these operations efficiently requires a scalable, decentralized, autonomous UAV network architecture with high network connectivity. Whereas fast area coverage is needed for quickly sensing the area, strong node degree and base station (BS) connectivity are needed for UAV control and coordination and for transmitting sensed information to the BS in real time. However, the area coverage and connectivity exhibit a fundamental trade-off: maintaining connectivity restricts the UAVs' ability to explore. In this paper, we first present a node degree and BS connectivity-aware distributed pheromone (BS-CAP) mobility model to autonomously coordinate the UAV movements in a decentralized UAV network. This model maintains a desired connectivity among 1-hop neighbors and to the BS while achieving fast area coverage. Next, we propose a deep Q-learning policy based BS-CAP model (BSCAP-DQN) to further tune and improve the coverage and connectivity trade-off. Since it is not practical to know the complete topology of such a network in real time, the proposed mobility models work online, are fully distributed, and rely on neighborhood information. Our simulations demonstrate that both proposed models achieve efficient area coverage and desired node degree and BS connectivity, improving significantly over existing schemes.

description: Deviations from General Relativity can alter the quasi-normal mode (QNM) ringdown of perturbed black holes. It is known that a shift-symmetric (hence massless) scalar can only introduce black hole hair if it couples to the Gauss-Bonnet invariant, in which case the scalar charge is fixed with respect to the black hole mass and controlled by the strength of that coupling. The charge per unit mass decreases with the mass and can, therefore, be used as a perturbative parameter for black holes that are sufficiently large with respect to the scale suppressing the deviation from General Relativity or the Standard model. We construct an effective field theory scheme for QNMs using this perturbative parameter to capture deviations from Kerr for both the background and the perturbations. We demonstrate that up to second order in the charge per unit mass, QNMs can be calculated by solving standard linearised perturbation equations for the Kerr metric with sources depending on solutions of the same equations up to first order. It follows that corrections to the QNM frequencies are heavily suppressed for sufficiently massive black holes, meaning that LISA is very unlikely to detect any evidence of scalar hair in ringdown signals.

description: Current and future neutrino experiments can be used to discover dark matter, not only in searches for dark matter annihilating to neutrinos, but also in scenarios where dark matter itself scatters off Standard Model particles in the detector. In this work, we study the sensitivity of different neutrino detectors to a class of models called boosted dark matter, in which a subdominant component of a dark sector acquires a large Lorentz boost today through annihilation of a dominant component in a dark matter-dense region, such as the galactic center or dwarf spheroidal galaxies. This analysis focuses on the sensitivity of different neutrino detectors, specifically the Cherenkov-based Super-K and the future argon-based DUNE to boosted dark matter that scatters off electrons. We study the dependence of the expected limits on the experimental features, such as energy threshold, volume and exposure in the limit of constant scattering amplitude. We highlight experiment-specific features that enable current and future neutrino experiments to be a powerful tool in finding signatures of boosted dark matter.

With the increasing concern of climate change and greenhouse gas emissions, innovative solutions to produce energy via renewable sources are needed. Geothermal energy has the potential to provide heating and cooling to residential and commercial buildings, however, its implementation has been stunted due to high initial costs, longer payback periods, and lesser return on investment. Helical steel piles, mainly used as structural foundations for buildings, have the potential to act as in-ground heat exchangers, producing higher efficiencies than conventional borehole systems at a lower cost. Eight helical steel piles, fitted with plastic tubing for fluid circulation, have been installed in an experimental site in Waterloo, Ontario. Cooling and heating tests have been conducted on the novel system to evaluate the capacity, power consumption and coefficient of performance. This paper presents the results of the peak and steady state capacity tests as well as the limitations experienced.

description: The correlation between digital media and traditional scholarly subjects like psychology is one with largely untapped potential. Video
 games may seem solely recreational, but the interactive component provides psychologists with a unique window into a subject's mind. As Art Director and Lead Animator of STAR Frog Jumpers, an iPad game designed to help psychologists diagnose autism in children, optimizing the link between established psych tests and interactive alternatives has proven to be a fascinating endeavor.
 STAR Frog Jumpers borrows its mechanics from a traditional pencil-and-paper pattern recognition task called the Trail Making Test
 (TMT). As the creator of all visual elements, the most important part of adapting the TMT to an interactive format was establishing the middle ground between aesthetics and functionality. Background animations are minimized to avoid unnecessary visual distraction, but "success" cut scenes are emphasized to provide a tangible goal for the subject. The levels are dynamic, but designed with a relatively muted color scheme that accentuates the bright numbers and letters. These details are crucially important to account for, as children with autism are likely to be distracted by background features. When we are finished, Drexel psychologists will compare the reaction time and accuracy results between the traditional TMT and our dynamic, colorful, goal-based interpretation.

description: Abelian duality is realized naturally by combining differential cohomology and locally covariant quantum field theory. This leads to a C$^*$-algebra of observables, which encompasses the simultaneous discretization of both magnetic and electric fluxes. We discuss the assignment of physically well-behaved states to such algebra and the properties of the associated GNS triple. We show that the algebra of observables factorizes as a suitable tensor product of three C$^*$-algebras: the first factor encodes dynamical information, while the other two capture topological data corresponding to electric and magnetic fluxes. On the former factor we exhibit a state whose two-point correlation function has the same singular structure of a Hadamard state. Specifying suitable counterparts also on the topological factors we obtain a state for the full theory, providing ultimately a unitary implementation of Abelian duality.

description: The recent COVID-19 pandemic underscores the significance of early-stage non-pharmacological intervention strategies. The widespread use of masks and the systematic implementation of contact tracing strategies provide a potentially equally effective and socially less impactful alternative to more conventional approaches, such as large-scale mobility restrictions. However, manual contact tracing faces strong limitations in accessing the network of contacts, and the scalability of currently implemented protocols for smartphone-based digital contact tracing becomes impractical during the rapid expansion phases of the outbreaks, due to the surge in exposure notifications and associated tests. A substantial improvement in digital contact tracing can be obtained through the integration of probabilistic techniques for risk assessment that can more effectively guide the allocation of new diagnostic tests. In this study, we first quantitatively analyze the diagnostic and social costs associated with these containment measures based on contact tracing, employing three state-of-the-art models of SARS-CoV-2 spreading. Our results suggest that probabilistic techniques allow for more effective mitigation at a lower cost. Secondly, our findings reveal a remarkable efficacy of probabilistic contact-tracing techniques in performing backward and multi-step tracing and capturing super-spreading events.

description: Multimode optical fibers support the dense, low-loss transmission of many spatial modes, making them attractive for technologies such as communications and imaging. However, information propagating through multimode fibers is scrambled, due to modal dispersion and mode mixing. This is usually rectified using wavefront shaping techniques with devices such as spatial light modulators. Recently, we demonstrated an all-fiber system for controlling light propagation inside multimode fibers using mechanical perturbations, called the fiber piano. In this tutorial we explain the design considerations and experimental methods needed to build a fiber piano, and review applications where fiber pianos have been used.

description: We analyze the classic problem of existence of Einstein metrics in a given conformal structure for the class of conformal structures inducedf Nurowski's construction by (oriented) (2,3,5) distributions. We characterize in two ways such conformal structures that admit an almost Einstein scale: First, they are precisely the oriented conformal structures $\mathbf{c}$ that are induced by at least two distinct oriented (2,3,5) distributions; in this case there is a 1-parameter family of such distributions that induce $\mathbf{c}$. Second, they are characterized by the existence of a holonomy reduction to $SU(1,2)$, $SL(3,{\mathbb R})$, or a particular semidirect product $SL(2,{\mathbb R})\ltimes Q_+$, according to the sign of the Einstein constant of the corresponding metric. Via the curved orbit decomposition formalism such a reduction partitions the underlying manifold into several submanifolds and endows each ith a geometric structure. This establishes novel links between (2,3,5) distributions and many other geometries - several classical geometries among them - including: Sasaki-Einstein geometry and its paracomplex and null-complex analogues in dimension 5; Kähler-Einstein geometry and its paracomplex and null-complex analogues, Fefferman Lorentzian conformal structures, and para-Fefferman neutral conformal structures in dimension 4; CR geometry and the point geometry of second-order ordinary differential equations in dimension 3; and projective geometry in dimension 2. We describe a generalized Fefferman construction that builds from a 4-dimensional Kähler-Einstein or para-Kähler-Einstein structure a family of (2,3,5) distributions that induce the same (Einstein) conformal structure. We exploit some of these links to construct new examples, establishing the existence of nonflat almost Einstein (2,3,5) conformal structures for which the Einstein constant is positive and negative.

description: A comparative study is performed on volcanic seismicities at Icelandic volcano, Eyjafjallajökull, and Mt. Etna in Sicily from the viewpoint of complex systems science, and the discovery of remarkable similarities between them is reported. In these seismicities as point processes, the jump probability distributions of earthquakes (i.e., distributions of the distance between the hypocenters of two successive events) are found to obey the exponential law, whereas the waiting-time distributions (i.e., distributions of inter-occurrence time of two successive events) follow the power law. A careful analysis is made about the finite size effects on the waiting-time distributions, and the previously reported results for Mt. Etna (Abe and Suzuki 2015) are reinterpreted accordingly. It is shown that the growth of the seismic region in time is subdiffusive at both volcanoes. The aging phenomenon is commonly observed in the "event-time-averaged" mean-squared displacements of the hypocenters. A comment is also made on (non-)Markovianity of the processes.

description: Diffusion models have been demonstrated as powerful deep learning tools for image generation in CT reconstruction and restoration. Recently, diffusion posterior sampling, where a score-based diffusion prior is combined with a likelihood model, has been used to produce high quality CT images given low-quality measurements. This technique is attractive since it permits a one-time, unsupervised training of a CT prior; which can then be incorporated with an arbitrary data model. However, current methods rely on a linear model of x-ray CT physics to reconstruct or restore images. While it is common to linearize the transmission tomography reconstruction problem, this is an approximation to the true and inherently nonlinear forward model. We propose a new method that solves the inverse problem of nonlinear CT image reconstruction via diffusion posterior sampling. We implement a traditional unconditional diffusion model by training a prior score function estimator, and apply Bayes rule to combine this prior with a measurement likelihood score function derived from the nonlinear physical model to arrive at a posterior score function that can be used to sample the reverse-time diffusion process. This plug-and-play method allows incorporation of a diffusion-based prior with generalized nonlinear CT image reconstruction into multiple CT system designs with different forward models, without the need for any additional training. We develop the algorithm that performs this reconstruction, including an ordered-subsets variant for accelerated processing and demonstrate the technique in both fully sampled low dose data and sparse-view geometries using a single unsupervised training of the prior.

description: Towards the efficient simulation of near-term quantum devices using tensor network states, we introduce an improved real-space parallelizable matrix-product state (MPS) compression method. This method enables efficient compression of all virtual bonds in constant time, irrespective of the system size, with controlled accuracy, while it maintains the stability of the wavefunction norm without necessitating sequential renormalization procedures. In addition, we introduce a parallel regauging technique to partially restore the deviated canonical form, thereby improving the accuracy of the simulation in subsequent steps. We further apply this method to simulate unitary quantum dynamics and introduce an improved parallel time-evolving block-decimation (pTEBD) algorithm. We employ the improved pTEBD algorithm for extensive simulations of typical one- and two-dimensional quantum circuits, involving over 1000 qubits. The obtained numerical results unequivocally demonstrate that the improved pTEBD algorithm achieves the same level of simulation precision as the current state-of-the-art MPS algorithm but in polynomially shorter time, exhibiting nearly perfect weak scaling performance on a modern supercomputer.

description: We clarify the structure obtained in Hélein and Vey's proposition for a variational principle for the Einstein-Cartan gravitation formulated on a frame bundle starting from a structure-less differentiable 10-manifold. The obtained structure is locally equivalent to a frame bundle which we term "generalised frame bundle". In the same time, we enrich the model with a Dirac spinor coupled to the Einstein-Cartan spacetime. The obtained variational equations generalise the usual Einstein-Cartan-Dirac field equations in that they are shown to imply the usualy field equations when the generalised frame bundle is a standard frame bundle.

description: We revisit the fundamental string (F1) solution in the doubled formalism. We show that the wave-like solution of double field theory (DFT) corresponding to the F1/pp-wave duality pair is more properly a solution of the DFT action coupled to a doubled sigma model action. The doubled string configuration which sources the pp-wave can be thought of as static gauge with the string oriented in a dual direction. We also discuss the DFT solution corresponding to a vibrating string, carrying both winding and momentum. We further show that the solution dual to the F1 in both time and space can be viewed as a "negative string" solution. Negative branes are closely connected to certain exotic string theories which involve unusual signatures for both spacetime and brane worldvolumes. In order to better understand this from the doubled point of view, we construct a variant of DFT suitable for describing theories in which the fundamental string has a Euclidean worldsheet, for which T-dualities appear to change the spacetime signature.

A Non-Traditional Variant Nonlinear Energy Sink: Harmonically Forced Responses

Year: 2022

This study focuses on simultaneous vibration suppression and energy harvesting in a broad frequency band. For this purpose, a variant nonlinear energy sink (NES) is developed. The developed variant NES consists of a nonlinear oscillator and an electromagnetic energy harvester. Unlike a true NES, the nonlinear oscillator’s spring is not essentially  nonlinear. The variant NES is attached to a single-degree-of- freedom (SDOF) primary system that is subjected to a base  excitation. Different from the traditional way, the electromagnetic energy harvester is placed between the oscillator’s mass and the base. This study investigates the performance of this non-traditional variant NES under harmonic base excitation. First, the developed apparatus is described. Subsequently, the approximate solutions of steady state responses are derived using the harmonic balance (HB) method. Next, computer simulations are conducted using both the HB method’s solution and numerical integration. The results show that under harmonic excitation, the proposed apparatus behaves similarly to a true NES with the following features: amplitude jump, excitation level dependence, strongly modulated response (SMR), etc. Overall, the non-traditional variant NES can achieve vibration suppression and energy harvesting in a broad frequency band.

Majorana fermions in the nonuniform Ising-Kitaev chain: exact solution

description: A quantum computer based on Majorana qubits would contain a large number of zero-energy Majorana states. This system can be modelled as a connected network of the Ising-Kitaev chains alternating the "trivial" and "topological" regions, with the zero-energy Majorana fermions localized at their interfaces. The low-energy sector of the theory describing such a network can be formulated in terms of leading-order couplings between the Majorana zero modes. I consider a minimal model exhibiting effective couplings between four Majorana zero modes - the nonuniform Ising-Kitaev chain, containing two "topological" regions separated by a "trivial" region. Solving the model exactly, I show that for generic values of the model parameters the four zero modes are localized at the four interface points of the chain. In the special case where additional inversion symmetry is present, the Majorana zero modes are "delocalized" between two interface points. In both cases, the low-energy sector of the theory can be formulated in terms of the localized Majorana fermions, but the couplings between some of them are independent of their respective separations: the exact solution does not support the "nearest-neighbor" form of the effective low-energy Hamiltonian.

Measurement of jet substructure in boosted $t\bar{t}$ events with the ATLAS detector using 140 fb$^{-1}$ of 13 TeV $pp$ collisions

description: Measurements of the substructure of top-quark jets are presented, using 140 fb$^{-1}$ of 13 TeV $pp$ collision data recorded with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. Top-quark jets reconstructed with the anti-$k_{t}$ algorithm with a radius parameter $R=1.0$ are selected in top-quark pair ($t\bar{t}$) events where one top quark decays semileptonically and the other hadronically, or where both top quarks decay hadronically. The top-quark jets are required to have transverse momentum $p_\mathrm{T} > 350$ GeV, yielding large samples of data events with jet $p_\mathrm{T}$ values between 350 and 600 GeV. One- and two-dimensional differential cross-sections for eight substructure variables, defined using only the charged components of the jets, are measured in a particle-level phase space by correcting for the smearing and acceptance effects induced by the detector. The differential cross-sections are compared with the predictions of several Monte Carlo simulations in which top-quark pair-production quantum chromodynamic matrix-element calculations at next-to-leading-order precision in the strong coupling constant $α_\mathrm{S}$ are passed to leading-order parton shower and hadronization generators. The Monte Carlo predictions for measures of the broadness, and also the two-body structure, of the top-quark jets are found to be in good agreement with the measurements, while variables sensitive to the three-body structure of the top-quark jets exhibit some tension with the measured distributions.

description: We investigate single-valued polylogarithms in two complex variables, which are relevant for the seven-point remainder function in N=4 super-Yang-Mills theory in the multi-Regge regime. After constructing these two-dimensional polylogarithms, we determine the leading logarithmic approximation of the seven-point remainder function up to and including five loops.

description: The paper contains a review of the exact or accurate results achieved in the field of the three-body antikaon-nucleon physics. Different states and processes in $\bar{K}NN$ and $\bar{K}\bar{K}N$ systems are considered. In particular, quasi-bound states in $K^- pp$ and $K^- K^- p$ systems were investigated together with antikaonic deuterium atom. Near-threshold scattering of antikaons on deuteron, including the $K^- d$ scattering length, and applications of the scattering amplitudes are also discussed. All exact three-body results were calculated using some form of Faddeev equations. Different versions of $\bar{K}N$, $ΣN$, $\bar{K}\bar{K}$, and $NN$ potentials, specially constructed for the calculations, allowed investigation of the dependence of the three-body results on the two-body input. Special attention is paid to the antikaon-nucleon interaction, being the most important for the three-body systems. Approximate calculations, performed additionally to the exact ones, demonstrate accuracy of the commonly used approaches.
