Vortex-strings in N=2 quiver X U(1) theories

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study half-BPS vortex-strings in four dimensional N=2 supersymmetric quiver theories with gauge group SU(N)^n X U(1). The matter content of the quiver can be represented by what we call a tetris diagram, which simplifies the analysis of the Higgs vacua and the corresponding strings. We classify the vacua of these theories in the presence of a Fayet-Iliopoulos term, and study strings above fully-Higgsed vacua. The strings are studied using classical zero modes analysis, supersymmetric localization and, in some cases, also S-duality. We analyze the conditions for bulk-string decoupling at low energies. When the conditions are satisfied, the low energy theory living on the string's worldsheet is some 2d N=(2,2) supersymmetric non-linear sigma model. We analyze the conditions for weak to weak 2d-4d map of parameters, and identify the worldsheet theory in all the cases where the map is weak to weak. For some SU(2) quivers, S-duality can be used to map weakly coupled worldsheet theories to strongly coupled ones. In these cases, we are able to identify the worldsheet theories also when the 2d-4d map of parameters is weak to strong.

description: The main purpose of the study was to ascertain head teacher’s perception of the role of school management team in ensuring access to education and infrastructural development in primary schools in Anambra State. Two research questions guided the study. The study adopted the descriptive research design. The population of the study comprised 1070 head teachers in government owned primary schools in Anambra State. The sample of the study comprised 291 head teachers in public primary schools in Anambra State. Questionnaire was used to collect data for the study. The instrument was validated by three experts in education. The reliability of the instrument was determined through a pilot test. Mean and standard deviation was used to answer the research questions. The finding of the study revealed that head teachers opined that school management team ensures access to education in primary school in Anambra State to a low extent. Conversely, findings revealed that head teachers opined that school management team ensures infrastructural development in primary school in Anambra State to a high extent. Based on these findings, the researcher recommended among others that School management teams in primary schools should actively engage with parents, communities, and local leaders to raise awareness about the free and compulsory education policy

description: This paper addresses the integral energy fluxes in natural and controlled turbulent channel flows, where active skin-friction drag reduction techniques allow a more efficient use of the available power. We study whether the increased efficiency shows any general trend in how energy is dissipated by the mean velocity field (mean dissipation) and by the fluctuating velocity field (turbulent dissipation). Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) of different control strategies are performed at Constant Power Input (CPI), so that at statistical equilibrium each flow (either uncontrolled or controlled by different means) has the same power input, hence the same global energy flux and, by definition, the same total energy dissipation rate. The simulations reveal that changes in mean and turbulent energy dissipation rates can be of either sign in a successfully controlled flow. A quantitative description of these changes is made possible by a new decomposition of the total dissipation, stemming from an extended Reynolds decomposition, where the mean velocity is split into a laminar component and a deviation from it. Thanks to the analytical expressions of the laminar quantities, exact relationships are derived that link the achieved flow rate increase and all energy fluxes in the flow system with two wall-normal integrals of the Reynolds shear stress and the Reynolds number. The dependence of the energy fluxes on the Reynolds number is elucidated with a simple model in which the control-dependent changes of the Reynolds shear stress are accounted for via a modification of the mean velocity profile. The physical meaning of the energy fluxes stemming from the new decomposition unveils their inter-relations and connection to flow control, so that a clear target for flow control can be identified.

description: The accurate calculation of excited state properties of interacting electrons in the condensed phase is an immense challenge in computational physics. Here, we use state-of-the-art equation-of-motion coupled-cluster theory with single and double excitations (EOM-CCSD) to calculate the dynamic structure factor, which can be experimentally measured by inelastic x-ray and electron scattering. Our calculations are performed on the uniform electron gas at densities corresponding to Wigner-Seitz radii of $r_s=5$, 4, and 3 corresponding to the valence electron densities of common metals. We compare our results to those obtained using the random-phase approximation, which is known to provide a reasonable description of the collective plasmon excitation and which resums only a small subset of the polarizability diagrams included in EOM-CCSD. We find that EOM-CCSD, instead of providing a perturbative improvement on the RPA plasmon, predicts a many-state plasmon resonance, where each contributing state has a double-excitation character of 80\% or more. This finding amounts to an ab initio treatment of the plasmon linewidth, which is in good quantitative agreement with previous diagrammatic calculations, and highlights the strongly correlated nature of lifetime effects in condensed-phase electronic structure theory.

The results are exact for zero and two flavors, and approximate in the weak-coupling limit for one and three flavors. The presence of states of magnetic charge 2, in the three-flavor case only, is confirmed.

description: A recent experiment by Minev et. al [arXiv:1803.00545] demonstrated that in a dissipative (artificial) 3-level atom with strongly intermittent dynamics it is possible to "catch and reverse" a quantum jump "mid-flight": by the conditional application of a unitary perturbation after a fixed time with no jumps, the system was prevented from getting shelved in the dark state, thus removing the intermittency from the dynamics. Here we offer an interpretation of this phenomenon in terms of the dynamical large deviation formalism for open quantum dynamics. In this approach, intermittency is seen as the first-order coexistence of active and inactive dynamical phases. Dark periods are thus like space-time bubbles of the inactive phase in the active one. Here we consider a controlled dynamics via the (single - as in the experiment - or multiple) application of a unitary control pulse during no-jump periods. By considering the large deviation statistics of the emissions, we show that appropriate choice of the control allows to stabilise a desired dynamical phase and remove the intermittency. In the thermodynamic analogy, the effect of the control is to prick bubbles thus preventing the fluctuations that manifest phase coexistence. We discuss similar controlled dynamics in broader settings.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2018

description: The presence of microplastics in marine waters was increasingly documented to be a hot subject nowadays due the evidence that they are accumulating and thus, they can move through natural food webs, which means microplastics and associated pollutants have the potential to move into human food chains, plus the imposed strict regulations in developed countries beside the moral deterrent against the natural aquatic life. The treatment of those molecules via photodegradation over Zinc Oxide (ZnO) semiconductor had been studied in this project. Here we report the fabrication of visible light active zinc oxide nanorods (ZnO NRs), wherein the visible light absorption is enhanced by a Tin Oxide coating. Methylene Blue and Coumarin had been used as an organic model to study the different phtotodegradation aspects. The role of the coating is to provide stability for our semiconductor in acidic PH and to enhance the degradation of organic molecule by applying the band match theory to assure a targeted flow of charge carrier between our nanorods particles in a most beneficial way to the aimed photodegradation. Results presented here provide a simple strategy to make the wide bandgap ZnO NRs visible light active, enabling their use as promising semiconductors for photocatalytic decontamination of refineries waste water.

description: A quantum equivalence principle is formulated by means of a gravitational phase operator which is an element of the Poincare group. This is applied to the spinning cosmic string which suggests that it may (but not necessarily) contain gravitational torsion. A new exact solution of the Einstein- Cartan-Sciama-Kibble equations for the gravitational field with torsion is obtained everywhere for a cosmic string with uniform energy density, spin density and flux. A novel effect due to the quantized gravitational field of the cosmic string on the wave function of a particle outside the string is used to argue that spacetime points are not meaningful in quantum gravity.

We discuss types of evolution in terms of the defining parameters and obtain relevant explicit description of the pure state spaces and their Remannian geometry with the Fubini-Study metric . In particular, there is given an analysis of the modification of known geometry of quantum state manifold by the linear noncommuting perturbation of the Hamiltonian. For families of states resulting from the unitary evolution, we characterize a degree of entanglement using the squared concurrence as its measure.

description: HEX-programs are an extension of answer set programs (ASP) with external sources. To this end, external atoms provide a bidirectional interface between the program and an external source. The traditional evaluation algorithm for HEX-programs is based on guessing truth values of external atoms and verifying them by explicit calls of the external source. The approach was optimized by techniques that reduce the number of necessary verification calls or speed them up, but the remaining external calls are still expensive. In this paper we present an alternative evaluation approach based on inlining of external atoms, motivated by existing but less general approaches for specialized formalisms such as DL-programs. External atoms are then compiled away such that no verification calls are necessary. The approach is implemented in the dlvhex reasoner. Experiments show a significant performance gain. Besides performance improvements, we further exploit inlining for extending previous (semantic) characterizations of program equivalence from ASP to HEX-programs, including those of strong equivalence, uniform equivalence and H, B -equivalence. Finally, based on these equivalence criteria, we characterize also inconsistency of programs wrt. extensions. Since well-known ASP extensions (such as constraint ASP) are special cases of HEX, the results are interesting beyond the particular formalism.

description: Energies and wave functions are calculated for d-wave quasiparticles in the mixed state using the formalism of Franz and Tesanovic for the low-lying energy levels. The accuracy of the plane-wave expansion is explored by comparing approximate to exact results for a simplified one-dimensional problem, and the convergence of the plane- wave expansion to the two-dimensional case is studied. The results are used to calculate the low-energy tunneling density of states and the low-temperature specific heat, and these theoretical results are compared to semiclassical treatments and to the available data. Implications for the muon spin resonance measurements of vortex core size are also discussed.

И ещё как критик, написал статьи, которые сыграли большую роль в выяснении сущности и развития новой поэзии в Иране в 1960-е гг. Его поэтическое творчество анализируется с одной стороны как поэта, который был под влиянием поэтов-учителей классической поэзии, а в особенности Хорасанской школы, а с другой стороны он был вдохновлён новой поэзией Ирана и, наилучшим образом сохраняя язык классиков, объединил его со стилем и шаблоном Нима, не создав двойственности. Ахаван как активный деятель в обществе не только выразил индивидуальные нужны жизни, но и занимался политическими и социальными проблемами.

description: In this work we derived a rotating and non-linear magnetic-charged black hole surrounded by quintessence using the Newman-Janis algorithm. Considering the state parameter $ω_q=-3/2$, we studied the event horizons, the ergosphere, and the ZAMO. We found that the existence of the outer horizon is constrained by the values of the charge $Q$. Furthermore, we found that the ergo-region increases when both the charge $Q$ and the spin parameter $a$ are increased. On the other hand, regarding equatorial circular orbits, we studied the limit given by the static radius on the existence of circular geodesics, the photon circular geodesics, and the innermost stable circular orbits (ISCO). We show that photon circular orbits do not depend strongly on $Q$, and $r_{ISCO}$ is constrained by the values of charge.

description: Recently, there has been tremendous research interest in novel bismide semiconductor materials (such as GaBi$_x$As$_{1-x}$) for wavelength-engineered, low-loss optoelectronic devices. We report a first study of the quantum confined Stark effect (QCSE) computed for GaBi$_x$As$_{1-x}$/GaAs quantum well (QW) structures based on large-scale atomistic tight-binding calculations. A comprehensive investigation of the QCSE as a function of the applied electric field orientations and the QW Bi fractions reveals unconventional character of the Stark shift at low Bi compositions ($x$=3.125\%). This atypical QCSE is attributed to a strong confinement of the ground-state hole wave functions due to the presence of Bi clusters. At technologically-relevant large Bi fractions ($\geq$ 10\%), the impact of Bi clustering on the electronic structure is found to be weak, leading to a quadratic Stark shift of the ground-state transition wavelength, similar to the previously observed Stark shift in other conventional III-V materials. Our results provide useful insights for the understanding of the electric field dependence of the electronic and optical properties of GaBi$_x$As$_{1-x}$/GaAs QWs, and will be important for the design of devices in the optoelectronics and spintronics areas of research.

description: Automated theorem provers (ATPs) typically run in a single thread. Hardware parallelism is then exploited through portfolios, in which distinct and disjoint strategies are launched as fully-independent processes and do not cooperate. Whilst there has been some historic exploration of cooperation, the technical challenge has prevented this from being fully explored in modern ATPs. The following describes the non-trivial engineering effort required to make the Vampire theorem prover multithreaded, such that multiple proof attempts coexist in the same memory space. This lays the foundations for a new generation of proof search techniques able to cooperate with other proof attempts running in parallel. As an initial demonstration, we implement a shared persistent grounding daemon that receives all clauses generated by all proof attempts and checks whether a heuristically-grounded version is unsatisfiable. The resulting multi-threaded system achieves limited contention compared to the previous process-based implementation, and persistent grounding improves performance in certain cases.

description: The AKARI Infrared Astronomical Satellite produced the all-sky survey (AFASS) maps in the far-IR at roughly arc-minute spatial resolution, enabling us to investigate the whole sky in the far-IR for objects having surface brightnesses greater than a few to a couple of dozen MJy/sr. While the AFASS maps are absolutely calibrated against large-scale diffuse emission, it was uncertain whether or not an additional flux correction for point sources was necessary. Here, we verify that calibration for point-source photometry in the AFASS maps is proper. With the aperture correction method based on the empirical point-spread-function templates derived directly from the AFASS maps, fluxes in the AKARI bright source catalogue (BSC) are reproduced. The AKARI BSC fluxes are also satisfactorily recovered with the 1 sigma aperture, which is the empirical equivalent of an infinite aperture. These results confirm that in the AFASS maps far-IR photometry can be properly performed by using the aperture correction method for point sources and by summing all pixel values within an appropriately defined aperture of the intended target (i.e., the aperture photometry method) for extended sources.

description: A theoretical interpretation is given to recent proton spin relaxation-time (T_1) measurements on NiCu(C_7H_6N_2O_6)(H_2O)_3$\cdot$2H_2O, which is an ideal one-dimensional ferrimagnetic Heisenberg model system of alternating spins 1 and 1/2. The relaxation rate T_1^{-1} is formulated in temrs of the spin-wave theory and is evaluated by the use of a quantum Monte Carlo method. Calculations of the temperature and applied-field (H) dependences of T_1^{-1} are in total agreement with the experimental findings. T_1 behaves as $T_1^{-1}\propto H^{-1/2}$, which turns out an indirect observation of the quadratic dispersion relations dominating the low-energy physics of quantum ferrimagnets.

description: The energy demand of the residential sector contributed to about 29 % of Germany’s final energy consumption in 2020. For the planning and optimization of energy systems, an understanding of the temporal energy consumption is necessary. This paper discusses tools for estimating these load profiles. Load profiles for electricity, space heating and domestic hot water (DHW) are investigated. A total of ten tools were applied. It turns out that the selected load profiles are dependent on the field of application. Load profiles influence the results of energy system modeling and therefore it is important to differentiate load profile tools. Standardized load profiles are well suited when a large number of buildings are considered. Stochastic load profiles, behavioral load profiles and the reference load profiles are well suited for building-specific simulations. Physical load pro- files are well suited for single building models, but as soon as several buildings are considered, the input effort for a sufficient accuracy is high.

description: There is need to enact swift solutions to mitigate and adapt to the urgency of the climate crisis, often relying on highly visible or fast results. How about the tools and impacts of environmental organizing that are difficult to measure, see, or even explain? The following study is an exploration of climate change resilience, and the socio-ecological tools communities use in the city of Paraná (Entre Ríos, Argentina) to change the cultural landscape. I draw on environmental justice, slow justice, and political ecology of freshwater ecosystems to argue that relationship and community-building are critical strategies for longevity of socio-ecological movements and developing resilience. Using an ethnographic approach that included in-depth interviews, audiovisual primary sources, and participant observation in local offices, wetlands, homes, and community centers, this study aims to piece together the multigenerational and spatial narrative of environmental organizing in Paraná. This project provides a highly localized examples of ways that communities are imagining a more just and equitable future in creative and collaborative ways.

description: The stochastic block model is widely used for detecting community structures in network data. How to test the goodness of fit of the model is one of the fundamental problems and has gained growing interests in recent years. In this article, we propose a novel goodness-of-fit test based on the maximum entry of the centered and rescaled adjacency matrix for the stochastic block model. One noticeable advantage of the proposed test is that the number of communities can be allowed to grow linearly with the number of nodes ignoring a logarithmic factor. We prove that the null distribution of the test statistic converges in distribution to a Gumbel distribution, and we show that both the number of communities and the membership vector can be tested via the proposed method. Furthermore, we show that the proposed test has asymptotic power guarantee against a class of alternatives. We also demonstrate that the proposed method can be extended to the degree-corrected stochastic block model. Both simulation studies and real-world data examples indicate that the proposed method works well. Supplementary materials for this article are available online.

description: This paper explores the concept of transformative reparations as a means of improving transitional justice. Transformative reparations move transitional justice beyond surface level solutions by reforming the structural causes that made victims vulnerable to oppression in the first place, ensuring non-repetition. Despite challenges with implementation, transformative reparations empower civil society and offer a path to lasting structural reform. Using Chile as a case study, the paper delves into the efforts of Mapuche organizations like Aukiñ Wallmapu Ngulam and Wallmapuwen, advocating for transformative reforms such as land restitution and political autonomy. In the pursuit of upholding human rights for vulnerable populations, transformative reparations stand as a vital avenue for societal transformation that extend beyond compensation.

description: В конце ХХ века мировая наука приблизилась к открытию законов, действие которых объясняет единые механизмы структурогенеза, т. е. существования мира, обеспечивающие целостность развивающихся природных и социальных явлений. Познанием этих законов человечество во многом обязано синергетике, возникшей как научное направление, изучающее единую сущность самых разнообразных феноменов, рассматриваемую как процесс перехода от неупорядоченности (хаоса) к порядку. Фундамент синергетики был заложен, когда специалистами в разных частях мира и в различных областях знания были обнаружены общие детерминанты материальных, социальных и мыслительных процессов и созданы синергетические теории самоорганизации сложных систем

description: Photo-graphic presentation and discussion of the prehistoric pottery from UCL Institute of Archaeology training excavations conducted at Downley, West Sussex (director Mark Roberts). The main report focuses on the (mostly Middle) Iron Age assemblage from the site but appendices are included on a small Bronze Age assemblage from the site, that from a contemporary Middle Iron Age site at Merston on the Sussex Coastal Plain, and some previously unpublished images of East and West Sussex Middle and Late Iron Age pottery from Artefact Services's archive. The Downley assemblage broadens the range of pottery types, sizes and fabrics attributable to the West Sussex Middle Iron Age, and helps us contextualise the site chronologically, culturally, regionally, in terms of its material procurement strategies, and functionally

description: Cosmological simulations are reaching the resolution necessary to study ultra-faint dwarf galaxies. Observations indicate that in small populations, the stellar initial mass function (IMF) is not fully populated; rather, stars are sampled in a way that can be approximated as coming from an underlying probability density function. To ensure the accuracy of cosmological simulations in the ultra-faint regime, we present an improved treatment of the IMF. We implement a self-consistent, stochastically populated IMF in cosmological hydrodynamic simulations. We test our method using high-resolution simulations of a Milky Way halo, run to $z=6$, yielding a sample of nearly 100 galaxies. We also use an isolated dwarf galaxy to investigate the resulting systematic differences in galaxy properties. We find that a stochastic IMF in simulations makes feedback burstier, strengthening feedback, and quenching star formation earlier in small dwarf galaxies. For galaxies in halos with mass $\lesssim10^{8.5}$ M$_\odot$, a stochastic IMF typically leads to lower stellar mass compared to a continuous IMF, sometimes by more than an order of magnitude. We show that existing methods of ensuring discrete supernovae incorrectly determine the mass of the star particle and its associated feedback. This leads to overcooling of surrounding gas, with at least ${\sim}$10 per cent higher star formation and ${\sim}$30 per cent higher cold gas content. Going forward, to accurately model dwarf galaxies and compare to observations, it will be necessary to incorporate a stochastically populated IMF that samples the full spectrum of stellar masses.

description: It is known that weak coupling calculations of absorption or emission by slightly non-extremal D-brane configurations are in exact agreement with semiclassical results for the black holes they describe at strong couplings. We investigate one open string loop corrections to processes involving single and parallel D-branes and show that a class of relevant terms vanish, indicating that these processes are not renormalized. Our results have implications for five dimensional black holes and extremal 3-branes.

description: We present a scheme to describe the dynamics of accelerating discrete-time quantum walk for one- and two-particle in position space. We show the effect of acceleration in enhancing the entanglement between the particle and position space in one-particle quantum walk and in generation of entanglement between the two unentangled particle in two-particle quantum walk. By introducing the disorder in the form of phase operator we study the transition from localization to delocalization as a function of acceleration. These inter-winding connection between acceleration, entanglement generation and localization along with well established connection of quantum walks with Dirac equation can be used to probe further in the direction of understanding the connection between acceleration, mass and entanglement in relativistic quantum mechanics and quantum field theory. Expansion of operational tools for quantum simulations and for modelling quantum dynamics of accelerated particle using quantum walks is an other direction where these results can play an important role.

description: In a class of low-energy supersymmetry models the photino is a natural dark matter candidate. We investigate the effects of post-freeze-out photino annihilations which can generate electromognetic cascades and lead to photo-destruction of $^4$He and subsequent overproduction of D and $^3$He. We also generalize our analysis to a generic dark matter component whose relic abundance is {\it not} determined by the cross section of the self-annihilations giving rise to electromagnetic showers.

description: The European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) currently prepares the assimilation of soil moisture data derived from advanced scatterometer (ASCAT) measurements. ASCAT is part of the MetOp satellite payload launched in November 2006 and will ensure the operational provision of soil moisture information until at least 2020. Several studies showed that soil moisture derived from scatterometer data contain skillful information. Based on data from its predecessor instruments, the ERS-1/2 scatterometers we examine the potential of future ASCAT soil moisture data for numerical weather prediction (NWP). In a first step, we compare nine years of the ERS scatterometer derived surface soil moisture index (ΘS) against soil moisture from the ECMWF re-analysis (ERA40) data set (ΘE) to (i) identify systematic differences and (ii) derive a transfer function which minimises these differences and transforms ΘS into model equivalent volumetric soil moisture ΘS*. We then use a nudging scheme to assimilate ΘS* in the soil moisture analysis of the ECMWF numerical weather prediction model. In this scheme the difference between ΘS* and the model first guess ΘFG, calculated at 1200 UTC, is added in 1/4 fractions throughout a 24 h window to the model resulting in analysed soil moisture ΘNDG. We compare results from this experiment against those from a control experiment where soil moisture evolved freely and against those from the operational ECMWF forecast system, which uses an optimum interpolation scheme to analyse soil moisture. Validation against field observations from the Oklahoma Mesonet, shows that the assimilation of ΘS* increases the correlation from 0.39 to 0.66 and decreases the RMSE from 0.055 m3 m-3 to 0.041 m3 m-3 compared against the control experiment. The corresponding forecasts for low level temperature and humidity improve only marginally compared to the control experiment and deteriorate compared to the operational system. In addition, the results suggest that an advanced data assimilation system, like the Extended Kalman Filter, could use the satellite observations more effectively. © 2008 Elsevier Ltd.

vegetation optical depth

description: In microwave remote sensing of the Earth's surface, the satellite signal holds information on both soil moisture and vegetation. This necessitates a correction for vegetation effects when retrieving soil moisture. This paper assesses the strengths and weaknesses of the existing vegetation correction as part of the Vienna University of Technology (TU-Wien) method for soil moisture retrieval from coarse-scale active microwave observations. In this method, vegetation is based on a multiyear climatology of backscatter variations related to phenology. To assess the plausibility of the correction method, we first convert the correction terms for retrievals from the Advanced Scatterometer (ASCAT) into estimates of vegetation optical depth τa using a water-cloud model. The spatial and temporal behaviors of the newly developed τa are compared with the optical depth retrieved from passive microwave observations with the land parameter retrieval model τp. Spatial patterns correspond well, although low values for τa are found over boreal forests. Temporal correlation between the two products is high (R = 0.5), although negative correlations are observed in drylands. This comparison shows that τa and thus the vegetation correction method are sensitive to vegetation dynamics. Effects of the vegetation correction on soil moisture retrievals are investigated by comparing retrieved soil moisture before and after applying the correction term to modeled soil moisture. The vegetation correction increases the quality of the soil moisture product. In areas of high interannual variability in vegetation dynamics, we observed a negative impact of the vegetation correction on the soil moisture, with a decrease in correlation up to 0.4. It emphasizes the need for a dynamic vegetation correction in areas with high interannual variability.
