description: We show that there is a fermionic minimal model, i.e. a 1+1d conformal field theory which contains operators of half-integral spins in its spectrum, for each $c=1-6/m(m+1)$, $m\ge 3$. This generalizes the Majorana fermion for $c=1/2$, $m=3$ and the smallest $\mathcal{N}{=}1$ supersymmetric minimal model for $c=7/10$, $m=4$. We provide explicit Hamiltonians on Majorana chains realizing these fermionic minimal models.

description: In March 2020 at the University of British Columbia, we tested a broad group of fellow students’ climate literacy and learned helplessness levels with one survey presented in two classes and another released online. We asked: Do learned helplessness and climate literacy scores predict students’ willingness to engage in climate action? Our group aimed to correlate commonly-used indicators of learned helplessness and performance on a novel climate literacy quiz with willingness to act sustainably. To isolate the relationship between climate literacy levels and actions, every participant first took a 6 question quiz on climate literacy, and then answered 3 questions on sustainability actions they would be willing to incorporate into their lives. Besides the correlations, the corresponding data sets generally estimate undergraduate students’ knowledge of actions that can help mitigate climate change and their willingness to engage with them. Unexpectedly, our strongest correlations resulted from the inclusion of a confidence measure before participants were quizzed on climate literacy. We found significant correlations for literacy predicting confidence and confidence with willingness to act. Hence, our group suggests that UBC focus on encouraging confidence in climate education to promote its vision of educating more climate-conscious and upstanding global citizens.

This construction provides an alternative geometric description of an analytic tool introduced by Wilfrid Kendall. Our construction uses a tractrix flow which can be defined as a gradient flow for a family of functions of certain type.

description: As passengers spend more time in vehicles, the demand for non-driving related tasks (NDRTs) increases. In-car Augmented Reality (AR) has the potential to enhance passenger experiences by enabling interaction with the environment through NDRTs using world-fixed Points of Interest (POIs). However, the effectiveness of existing interaction techniques and visualization methods for in-car AR remains unclear. Based on a survey (N=110) and a pre-study (N=10), we developed an interactive in-car AR system using a video see-through head-mounted display to engage with POIs via eye-gaze and pinch. Users could explore passed and upcoming POIs using three visualization techniques: List, Timeline, and Minimap. We evaluated the system's feasibility in a field study (N=21). Our findings indicate general acceptance of the system, with the List visualization being the preferred method for exploring POIs. Additionally, the study highlights limitations of current AR hardware, particularly the impact of vehicle movement on 3D interaction.

description: In this paper we study a generalization of the two-groups model in the presence of covariates — a problem that has recently received much attention in the statistical literature due to its applicability in multiple hypotheses testing problems. The model we consider allows for infinite dimensional parameters and offers flexibility in modeling the dependence of the response on the covariates. We discuss the identifiability issues arising in this model and systematically study several estimation strategies. We propose a tuning parameter-free nonparametric maximum likelihood method, implementable via the expectation-maximization algorithm, to estimate the unknown parameters. Further, we derive the rate of convergence of the proposed estimators — in particular we show that the finite sample Hellinger risk for every ‘approximate’ nonparametric maximum likelihood estimator achieves a near-parametric rate (up to logarithmic multiplicative factors). In addition, we propose and theoretically study two ‘marginal’ methods that are more scalable and easily implementable. We demonstrate the efficacy of our procedures through extensive simulation studies and relevant data analyses — one arising from neuroscience and the other from astronomy. We also outline the application of our methods to multiple testing. The companion R package NPMLEmix implements all the procedures proposed in this paper.

description: We exploit a slightly noncollinear second-harmonic cross-correlation scheme to map the 3D space-time intensity distribution of an unknown complex-shaped ultrashort optical pulse. We show the capability of the technique to reconstruct both the amplitude and the phase of the field through the coherence of the nonlinear interaction down to a resolution of 10 $μ$m in space and 200 fs in time. This implies that the concept of second-harmonic holography can be employed down to the sub-ps time scale, and used to discuss the features of the technique in terms of the reconstructed fields.

description: Bagging (i.e., bootstrap aggregating) involves combining an ensemble of bootstrap estimators. We consider bagging for inference from noisy or incomplete measurements on a collection of interacting stochastic dynamic systems. Each system is called a unit, and each unit is associated with a spatial location. A motivating example arises in epidemiology, where each unit is a city: the majority of transmission occurs within a city, with smaller yet epidemiologically important interactions arising from disease transmission between cities. Monte Carlo filtering methods used for inference on nonlinear non-Gaussian systems can suffer from a curse of dimensionality as the number of units increases. We introduce bagged filter (BF) methodology which combines an ensemble of Monte Carlo filters, using spatiotemporally localized weights to select successful filters at each unit and time. We obtain conditions under which likelihood evaluation using a BF algorithm can beat a curse of dimensionality, and we demonstrate applicability even when these conditions do not hold. BF can out-perform an ensemble Kalman filter on a coupled population dynamics model describing infectious disease transmission. A block particle filter also performs well on this task, though the bagged filter respects smoothness and conservation laws that a block particle filter can violate.

We obtain stationary perturbation solutions for aligned and unaligned spiral logarithmic configurations in such a composite SID system and derive analytically existence criteria for these solutions. In comparison with the similar problem of a single SID studied by Shu et al. (2000), there are now two possible sets of solutions owing to an additional SID.

description: We review some results concerning the properties of static, spherically symmetric solutions of multidimensional theories of gravity: various scalar-tensor theories and a generalized string-motivated model with multiple scalar fields and fields of antisymmetric forms associated with p-branes. A Kaluza-Klein type framework is used: there is no dependence on internal coordinates but multiple internal factor spaces are admitted. We discuss the causal structure and the existence of black holes, wormholes and particle-like configurations in the case of scalar vacuum with arbitrary potentials as well as some observational predictions for exactly solvable systems with p-branes: post-Newtonian coefficients, Coulomb law violation and black hole temperatures. Particular attention is paid to conformal frames in which the theory is initially formulated and which are used for its comparison with observations; it is stressed that, in general, these two kinds of frames do not coincide.

description: Thermal noise and harmonic forcing have recently been shown to cooperatively excite sine-Gordon breathers robust to dissipation. Such a phenomenon has been found assuming a Gaussian noise source, delta-correlated both in time and space. In light of the potential implications of this generation technique, e.g., for the experimental observation of breathers in long Josephson junctions, it is physically motivated to investigate the effects of more realistic noise sources with finite correlation time and/or correlation length. Here, breathers are demonstrated to still emerge under this broader class of noise sources. The correlation time and the correlation length are found to offer control over the probability of observing breathers, as well on the typical timescale for their emergence. In particular, our results show that, as compared to the thermal case, the temporal and spatial correlations in the noise can lead to a larger breather-only occurrence frequency, i.e., the latter quantity behaves nonmonotonically versus both the correlation time and the correlation length. Overall, noise correlations represent a powerful tool for controlling the excitation of the elusive breather modes in view of experiments.

description: We present a method for computing the 6-dimensional coarse-grained phase-space density $f(x,v)$ in an N-body system, and derive its distribution function $v(f)$. The method is based on Delaunay tessellation, where $v(f)$ is obtained with an effective fixed smoothing window over a wide $f$ range. The errors are estimated, and $v(f)$ is found to be insensitive to the sampling resolution or the simulation technique. We find that in gravitationally relaxed haloes built by hierarchical clustering, $v(f)$ is well approximated by a robust power law, $v(f) \propto f^{-2.5 \pm 0.05}$, over more than 4 decades in $f$, from its virial level to the numerical resolution limit. This is tested to be valid in the $Λ$CDM cosmology for haloes with masses $10^9-10^{15}\msun$, indicating insensitivity to the slope of the initial fluctuation power spectrum. By mapping the phase-space density in position space, we find that the high-$f$ end of $v(f)$ is dominated by the ``cold'' subhaloes rather than the parent-halo central region and its global spherical profile. The value of $f$ in subhaloes near the virial radius is typically $>100$ times higher than its value at the halo centre, and it decreases gradually from outside in toward its value at the halo centre. This seems to reflect phase mixing due to mergers and tidal effects involving puffing up and heating. The phase-space density can thus provide a sensitive tool for studying the evolution of subhaloes during the hierarchical buildup of haloes. It remains to be understood why the evolved substructure adds up to the actual universal power law of $v(f) \propto f^{-2.5}$. It seems that this behaviour results from the hierarchical clustering process and is not a general result of violent relaxation.

description: The rapid advances in fitness wearable devices are redefining privacy around interactions. Fitness wearables devices record a considerable amount of sensitive and private details about exercise, blood oxygen level, and heart rate. Privacy concerns have emerged about the interactions between an individual's raw fitness data and data analysis by the providers of fitness apps and wearable devices. This paper describes the importance of adopting and applying legal frameworks within the fitness tracker ecosystem. In this review, we describe the studies on the current privacy policies of fitness app providers, heuristically evaluate the methods for consent management by fitness providers, summarize the gaps identified in our review of these studies, and discuss potential solutions for filling the gaps identified. We have identified four main problems related to preserving the privacy of users of fitness apps: lack of system transparency, lack of privacy policy legibility, concerns regarding one-time consent, and issues of noncompliance regarding consent management. After discussing feasible solutions, we conclude by describing how blockchain is suitable for solving these privacy issues.

In particular, for randomly dilute Ising systems we consider the Gaussian-to-random and the pure-Ising-to-random crossover, determining the corresponding crossover functions for the magnetic susceptibility and the correlation length. Moreover, for the physically interesting cases of dilute Ising, XY, and Heisenberg systems, we estimate several universal ratios of scaling-correction amplitudes entering the high-temperature Wegner expansion of the magnetic susceptibility, of the correlation length, and of the zero-momentum quartic couplings.

description: By the density functional theory for crystallization, it is shown that for vortex lines in an underlying layered structure a smectic phase with period m=2 can be stabilized by strong layer pinning. The freezing of vortex liquid is then two-step, a second-order liquid-smectic transition and a first-order smectic-lattice transition. DFT also indicates that a direct, first-order liquid-lattice transition preempts the smectic order with m>2 irrespectively of the pinning strength. Possible H-T phase diagrams are mapped out. Implications of the DFT results to the interlayer Josephson vortex system in high-Tc cuprates are given.

description: With the transition to fully autonomous vehicles, non-driving related tasks (NDRTs) become increasingly important, allowing passengers to use their driving time more efficiently. In-car Augmented Reality (AR) gives the possibility to engage in NDRTs while also allowing passengers to engage with their surroundings, for example, by displaying world-fixed points of interest (POIs). This can lead to new discoveries, provide information about the environment, and improve locational awareness. To explore the optimal visualization of POIs using in-car AR, we conducted a field study (N = 38) examining six parameters: positioning, scaling, rotation, render distance, information density, and appearance. We also asked for intention of use, preferred seat positions and preferred automation level for the AR function in a post-study questionnaire. Our findings reveal user preferences and general acceptance of the AR functionality. Based on these results, we derived UX-guidelines for the visual appearance and behavior of location-based POIs in in-car AR.

description: Intersection numbers of twisted cocycles arise in mathematics in the field of algebraic geometry. Quite recently, they appeared in physics: Intersection numbers of twisted cocycles define a scalar product on the vector space of Feynman integrals. With this application, the practical and efficient computation of intersection numbers of twisted cocycles becomes a topic of interest. An existing algorithm for the computation of intersection numbers of twisted cocycles requires in intermediate steps the introduction of algebraic extensions (for example square roots), although the final result may be expressed without algebraic extensions. In this article I present an improvement of this algorithm, which avoids algebraic extensions.

description: Atomically thin two-dimensional semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) can withstand large levels of strain before their irreversible damage occurs. This unique property offers a promising route for control of the optical and electronic properties of TMDs, for instance by depositing them on nano-structured surfaces, where position-dependent strain can be produced on the nano-scale. Here, we demonstrate strain-induced modifications of the optical properties of mono- and bilayer TMD WSe$_2 $ placed on photonic nano-antennas made from gallium phosphide (GaP). Photoluminescence (PL) from the strained areas of the TMD layer is enhanced owing to the efficient coupling with the confined optical mode of the nano-antenna. Thus, by following the shift of the PL peak, we deduce the changes in the strain in WSe$_2$ deposited on the nano-antennas of different radii. In agreement with the presented theory, strain up to $\approx 1.4 \%$ is observed for WSe$_2$ monolayers. We also estimate that $>3\%$ strain is achieved in bilayers, accompanied with the emergence of a direct bandgap in this normally indirect-bandgap semiconductor. At cryogenic temperatures, we find evidence of the exciton confinement in the most strained nano-scale parts of the WSe$_2$ layers, as also predicted by our theoretical model. Our results, of direct relevance for both dielectric and plasmonic nano-antennas, show that strain in atomically thin semiconductors can be used as an additional parameter for engineering light-matter interaction in nano-photonic devices.

The Local versus the Global in the History of Relativity: The Case of Belgium

Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: History and Philosophy of Physics (physics.hist-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: This article contributes to a global history of relativity, by exploring how Einstein's theory was appropriated in Belgium. This may sound as a contradiction in terms, yet the early-twentieth-century Belgian context, because of its cultural diversity and reflectiveness of global conditions (the principal example being the First World War), proves well-suited to expose transnational flows and patterns in the global history of relativity. The attempts of Belgian physicist Théophile de Donder to contribute to relativity physics during the 1910s and 1920s illustrate the role of the war in shaping the transnational networks through which relativity circulated. The local attitudes of conservative Belgian Catholic scientists and philosophers, who denied that relativity was philosophically significant, exemplify a global pattern: while critics of relativity feared to become marginalized by the scientific, political, and cultural revolutions that Einstein and his theory were taken to represent, supporters sympathized with these revolutions.

Passer rutilans intensior rothschild

description: Passer rutilans intensior Rothschild
Passer rutilans intensior Rothschild, 1922: 11 (Mekong Valley, 7–9000 ft.).
Now Passer rutilans intensior Rothschild, 1922. See Hartert, 1928: 198; LeCroy and Dickinson, 2001: 192; Dickinson, 2003: 716; and Summers-Smith, 2009: 796.
HOLOTYPE: AMNH 719362, adult male, collected in the Mekong Valley, 7000–9000 ft, China, 6 July 1921, by George Forrest (no. 605). From the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: In the original description, Rothschild designated as the type of intensior a male collected by Forrest in the Mekong Valley, 7000–9000 feet in elevation, on 6 July 1921. Both male and female were included in the description and measurements were given for more than one male, implying that all were from the Mekong Valley, which was given as the habitat. However, Rothschild had a single Forrest specimen, a male, from the Mekong Valley itself when he described intensior, as is shown in his (Rothschild, 1926: 328) summary of all of his Yunnan material. Hartert (1928: 198) also listed this Mekong Valley specimen as the type, and there is no question as to its holotype status (LeCroy and Dickinson, 2001: 192).
However, in the original description (see above), Rothschild listed both male and female, giving measurements for more than one male. When Rothschild (1923: 54) later reported on Forrest’s 1921 collection, he listed two specimens of intensior, the holotype of intensior from the Mekong Valley and a female from the Mekong-Salwin divide. It is not clear from the description of intensior whether he intended to include the female from the Mekong-Salwin divide or even specimens collected earlier in the Mekong Valley that were part of the BMNH share of Forrest’s collections.

description: This study aimed to explore the relationship between convenience and composting habits. More specifically, does providing compostable plastic bags to students living in The University of British Columbia’s Thunderbird Residence increase the prevalence of proper composting? This study used a self-report questionnaire to better understand Thunderbird Residence’s composting habits and motivation. Additionally, every week data was collected from Thunderbird Residence’s composting facility/bins. Photographs were taken of each compost bin and rated on a plastic contamination scale (ranging from 1-5). Overall, this study found results that were in line with the hypothesis; being given plastic compostable bags was associated with better composting habits. This means that the residence blocks that were given plastic compost bags (blocks 3000 & 5000) had higher scores on the contamination scale, with less plastic contamination and better composting habits.

description: We report the detection of a possible subsolar mass companion to the triple young system TY CrA using the NACO instrument at the VLT UT4 during its commissioning. Assuming for TY CrA a distance similar to that of the close binary system HD 176386, the photometric spectral type of this fourth stellar component candidate is consistent with an ~M4 star. We discuss the dynamical stability of this possible quadruple system as well as the possible location of dusty particles inside or outside the system.

Generation of a microresonator soliton comb via current modulation of a DFB laser

description: Dissipative Kerr-microresonator soliton combs (hereafter called soliton combs) has been rapidly progressing as compact frequency combs. Comb mode scanning of the soliton combs with a large range and fast speed is of paramount importance for applications such as LiDAR and spectroscopy, requiring large and rapid frequency scanning of a pump continuous-wave (CW) laser as well as resonance frequency of a microresonator. Here, we demonstrate the generation of a soliton comb by a distributed feedback (DFB) laser toward the comb mode scanning with a large range and fast speed. Compared with conventional pump CW lasers (i.e. external cavity diode lasers: ECDLs), DFB lasers can be frequency-scanned more largely and rapidly without mode-hopping. In addition, because of the fast scan speed of the DFB laser, a single soliton comb is generated simply by controlling the injection current of the DFB laser, greatly simplifying the system without having any additional optical modulators such as a carrier-suppressed single-sideband modulator (CS-SSB modulator), acousto-optic modulator (AOM), and auxiliary CW laser.

description: Resonant electron transport through a mesoscopic region (quantum dot or single molecule) with electron-phonon interaction is considered at finite voltage. In this case the standard Landauer-Büttiker approach cannot be applied. Using the nonequilibrium Green function method we show that due to a nonequilibrium distribution function of electrons in the mesoscopic region, the inelastic scattering rate and spectral function of the dot become functions of the voltage and have to be calculated self-consistently.

description: We study fair resource allocation when the resources contain a mixture of divisible and indivisible goods, focusing on the well-studied fairness notion of maximin share fairness (MMS). With only indivisible goods, a full MMS allocation may not exist, but a constant multiplicative approximate allocation always does. We analyze how the MMS approximation guarantee would be affected when the resources to be allocated also contain divisible goods. In particular, we show that the worst-case MMS approximation guarantee with mixed goods is no worse than that with only indivisible goods. However, there exist problem instances to which adding some divisible resources would strictly decrease the MMS approximation ratio of the instance. On the algorithmic front, we propose a constructive algorithm that will always produce an $α$-MMS allocation for any number of agents, where $α$ takes values between $1/2$ and $1$ and is a monotone increasing function determined by how agents value the divisible goods relative to their MMS values.
