Neutrino oscillations at high densities: cosmological and astrophysical aspects
Creators: name: Sarikas, Srdjan
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II
Year: 2011

description: This doctoral thesis treats the effects of neutrino oscillations in the early universe and supernovae. The main probe for the context of the early universe is big bang nucleosynthesis (BBN). I explain the general link between neutrinos and BBN with an emphasis on the degeneracy between neutrino asymmetry and extra degrees of freedom. I show how the degenerate effects of both oscillations and collisions lead to observables detectable in the near future that brake this degeneracy and draw bounds on neutrino asymmetry and their contribution to the energy density of the universe in the current epoch. Considering astrophysical aspects, I analyze the significance of a proper treatment of neutrino evolution to understand the neutrino signal from the next galactic supernova (SN). I show the type of effects collective neutrino conversions can produce and the numerical difficulties confronted. Finally, I show how that stability analysis can complement a numerical treatment and provide definitive answers in
some example cases.

UTILIZZO DI TADALAFIL NELLA PREVENZIONE DELLA FIBROSI DEI CORPI CAVERNOSI NELLA IPP E NELL’INVECCHIAMENTO
Creators: name: Iapicca, Gennaro
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II

description: L’IPP e l’invecchiamento sono condizioni accomunate da una spiccata attività fibroblastica con una produzione abnorme di fibre di collagene a discapito di fibre elastiche. E’, dunque, ipotizzabile che l’impiego di Tadalafil possa inibire il processo di “collagenizzazione” che si verifica nell’induratio penis plastica e nell’invecchiamento con conseguente alterazione micro strutturale della microarchitettura cavernosa e deficit erettile. Il presente studio è finalizzato alla formulazione di un protocollo sperimentale per la valutazione del trattamento della IPP e dei fenomeni degenerativi dei corpi cavernosi legati all’invecchiamento con l’impiego di Tadalafil.

description: We numerically construct a symmetric wormhole solution in pure Einstein gravity supported by a massive $3$-form field with a potential that contains a quartic self-interaction term. The wormhole spacetimes have only a single throat and they are everywhere regular and asymptotically flat. Furthermore, their mass and throat circumference increase almost linearly as the coefficient of the quartic self-interaction term $Λ$ increases. The amount of violation of the null energy condition (NEC) is proportional to the magnitude of $3$-form, thus the NEC is less violated as $Λ$ increases, since the magnitude of $3$-form decreases with $Λ$. In addition, we investigate the geodesics of particles moving around the wormhole. The unstable photon orbit is located at the throat. We also find that the wormhole can cast a shadow whose apparent size is smaller than that cast by the Schwarzschild black hole, but reduces to it when $Λ$ acquires a large value. The behavior of the innermost stable circular orbit around this wormhole is also discussed. The results of this paper hint toward the possibility that the 3-form wormholes could be potential black hole mimickers, as long as $Λ$ is sufficiently large, precisely when NEC is weakly violated.

description: On the frequency-amplitude plane, Gravitational Waves (GWs) from cosmic strings show a flat plateau at higher frequencies due to the string loop dynamics in standard radiation dominated post-inflationary epoch. The spectrum may show an abrupt upward or a downward trend beyond a turning point frequency $f_*$, if the primordial dark age prior to the Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN), exhibits non-standard cosmic histories. We argue that such a spectral break followed by a rising GW amplitude which is a consequence of a post-inflationary equation of state ($ω>1/3$) stiffer than the radiation ($ω=1/3$), could also be a strong hint of a leptogenesis in the seesaw model of neutrino masses. Dynamical generation of the right handed (RH) neutrino masses by a gauged $U(1)$ symmetry breaking leads to the formation of a network of cosmic strings which emits stochastic GWs. A gravitational interaction of the lepton current by an operator of the form $\partial_μR j^μ$--which can be generated in the seesaw model at the two-loop level through RH neutrino mediation, naturally seeks a stiffer equation of state to efficiently produce baryon asymmetry proportional to $1-3ω$. We discuss how GWs with reasonably strong amplitudes complemented by a neutrino-less double beta decay signal could probe the onset of the most recent radiation domination and lightest RH neutrino mass at the intermediate scales.

description: We present a hybrid light-emitting diode structure composed of an n-type gallium nitride nanowire on a p-type silicon substrate in which current is injected along the length of the nanowire. The device emits ultraviolet light under both bias polarities. Tunnel-injection of holes from the p-type substrate (under forward bias) and from the metal (under reverse bias) through thin native oxide barriers consistently explains the observed electroluminescence behaviour. This work shows that the standard p-n junction model is generally not applicable to this kind of device structure.

description: La tesi si pone come obiettivo quello di definire una metodologia di sviluppo di modelli critici complessi e riparabili basata sulle tecniche ed i metodi del Model Driven Engineering che consenta di integrare due filoni di ricerca: quello teso a sviluppare metodologie e strumenti per la composizionalità ed il multiformalismo, con le relative tecniche di soluzione e quello finalizzato alla derivazione (possibilmente automatica) di modelli formali a partire da modelli di alto livello del sistema utilizzati nella specifica e nella progettazione. La tesi è stata sviluppata  affrontando le seguenti tematiche:
•	Definizione di una metodologia per lo sviluppo e la generazione automatica di modelli formali di sistemi complessi basata su approcci e tecniche di MDE;
•	Estensione del profilo MARTE-DAM (Modeling and Analysis Real Time Embedded Systems – Dependability Analysis and Modeling) per la specifica ad alto livello di sistemi affidabili al fine di poter esprimere concetti relativi alla manutenibilità – ed in particolare al fine di modellare specifici aspetti dei sistemi riparabili;
•	Studio delle relazioni esistenti tra i linguaggi di specifica formali, con particolare riferimento alla relazione di tipo generalizzazione-specializzazione, al fine di ingegnerizzare il processo di generazione automatica di modelli espressi mediante diversi formalismi in relazione tra loro;
•	Sviluppo di tecniche trasformazionali basate sui risultati sopra riportati per particolari classi di formalismi di interesse, in particolare sono state sviluppate opportune trasformazioni Model-to-Model/Model-to-Text per la generazione automatica di modelli basati su alberi dei guasti riparabili (RFT) a partire da una specifica MARTE-DAM ad alto livello del sistema.
I metodi e le tecniche sviluppati per definizione di un processo di sviluppo, a partire dalla metodologia proposta, sono stati validati applicandoli al caso di studio del Radio Block Center, punto di criticità del sistema di controllo e segnalamento ferroviario soggetto allo standard ERTMS-ETCS (European Railway Traffic Management System/European Train Control System), standard europeo applicato in Italia alle linee ferroviarie dell’“Alta Velocità”.

description: The spectral theory of quantum graphs is related via an exact trace formula with the spectrum of the lengths of periodic orbits (cycles) on the graphs. The latter is a degenerate spectrum, and understanding its structure (i.e.,finding out how many different lengths exist for periodic orbits with a given period and the average number of periodic orbits with the same length) is necessary for the systematic study of spectral fluctuations using the trace formula. This is a combinatorial problem which we solve exactly for complete (fully connected) graphs with arbitrary number of vertices.

System size dependence of two-particle angular correlations in p+p, Cu+Cu and Au+Au collisions
Creators: name: Li, Wei

Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Nuclear Experiment (nucl-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We present a systematic study of two-particle angular correlations in p+p, Cu+Cu and Au+Au collisions over a broad range of pseudorapidity and azimuthal angle. The PHOBOS detector has a uniquely large angular coverage for inclusive charged particles, which allows for the study of correlations on both long- and short-range scales. A complex two-dimensional correlation structure emerges which is interpreted in the context of a cluster model. The cluster size and its decay width are extracted from the two-particle pseudorapidity correlation function. The cluster size found in semi-central Cu+Cu and Au+Au collisions is comparable to that found in p+p but a non-trivial increase of cluster size with decreasing centrality is observed. Moreover, the comparison between Cu+Cu and Au+Au systems shows an interesting scaling of the cluster size with the measured fraction of total cross section (which is related to $b/2R$), suggesting a geometric origin. These results should provide insight into the hadronization stage of the hot and dense medium created in heavy ion collisions.

title: Developing animal theology : an engagement with Leonardo Boff
Creators: name: Linzey, Clair Susan
Publisher: name: University of St Andrews
Year: 2020

description: This thesis seeks to develop animal theology in dialogue with Leonardo Boff, specifically in relation to his liberation, ecological, and contextual theologies. Through an examination of his major works relating to creation—notably, Jesus Christ Liberator: A Critical Christology of Our Time (1972), Saint Francis: A Model for Human Liberation (1981), Ecology and Liberation: A New Paradigm (1993), and Cry of the Earth, Cry of the Poor (1995)—this thesis unravels the anthropocentric and instrumentalist thinking that characterises Roman Catholic thought about animals. In Jesus Christ Liberator, the work of Christ is considered only in relation to humanity, which in practical terms means that human beings—their life, worth, and destiny—are God’s primary, if not exclusive, concern. In Saint Francis, despite the obvious moral example provided, Boff almost wholly ignores Francis’s significance for other creatures, and his ecological theology tantalisingly remains insufficiently attentive to the animal issue. Yet Boff’s ecological theology represents a significant shift, and at least notionally, he accepts the rights of other creatures. So paradoxically, his ecological theology is a catalyst for greater concern for creation, including animals. Boff may have influenced the thinking of Pope Francis, especially in the pope’s Laudato Si’ (2015), and has certainly engendered greater theological thinking on the environment. Finally, this thesis proposes a non-anthropocentric reconstruction of the Trinity as Gentleness, Solidarity, and Fraternity, reinforced by Boff’s work in Trinity and Society (1986) and Holy Trinity, Perfect Community (1988). A Trinitarian theology of animal liberation is suggested based on, inter alia, the notion of communion as being “for” creation and the idea of Triune sight. The Trinity is proposed as a model for human–animal relations.

description: We study the ionised ISM in NGC 7793 with MUSE/AO, at a spatial resolution of $\sim$ 10 pc. The data are complemented with young star clusters (YSCs), O stars and GMCs observed with HST and ALMA. Using a strong-line method, we find a median $12 + \log(O/H) \sim 8.37$ with a scatter of 0.25 dex, in agreement with previous estimates. The abundance map is rich in substructures, surrounding clusters and massive stars, although clear degeneracies with photoionisation are present. We determine the observed total amount of ionising photons, $Q(H^0)$, from the extinction corrected H$α$ luminosity, and compare it to the expected $Q(H^0)$ obtained by summing the contributions of YSCs and massive stars, to obtain an escape fraction ($f_{esc}$). Overall, we find $f_{esc, HII} = 0.67_{-0.12}^{+0.08}$ for the population of HII regions. We also conclude that the sources of ionisation observed within the FoV are more than sufficient to explain the amount of diffuse ionised gas observed in this region of the galaxy. In general, we find that YSCs located in HII regions have a higher probability to be younger, less massive, and to emit a higher number of ionising photons than clusters in the rest of the field. Finally, we study the optical depth of the regions traced by [SII]/[OIII], finding no systematic trend between the resulting ionisation structure and $f_{esc}$. [abridged]

description: We show that any two different unitary operations acting on an arbitrary multipartite quantum system can be perfectly distinguishable by local operations and classical communication when a finite number of runs is allowed. We then directly extend this result into the case when the number of unitary operations to be discriminated is more than two. Intuitively, our result means that the lost identity of a nonlocal (entangled) unitary operation can be recovered locally, without any use of entanglement or joint quantum operations.

description: For a simply connected, compact, simple Lie group G, the moduli space of flat G-bundles over a closed surface is known to be pre-quantizable at integer levels. For non-simply connected G, however, integrality of the level is not sufficient for pre-quantization, and this paper determines the obstruction -- namely a certain cohomology class in H^3(G^2;Z) -- that places further restrictions on the underlying level. The levels that admit a pre-quantization of the moduli space are determined explicitly for all non-simply connected, compact, simple Lie groups G.

description: We perform precision measurements of the branching ratios of the 4P3/2 level decay of a single 40Ca+ ion suspended in a linear Paul trap. High precision is achieved by a novel technique based on monitoring the population transfer when repeatedly pumping the ion between different internal states. The branching fractions into the 4S1/2, 3D5/2 and 3D3/2 levels are found to be 0.9347(3), 0.0587(2) and 0.00661(4), respectively. For the branching ratio A(P3/2-S1/2)/\sum_J A(P3/2-D_J)=14.31(5), we find a forty-fold improvement in accuracy as compared to the best previous measurement.
Force distributions and force chains in random stiff fiber networks

description: We study the elasticity of random stiff fiber networks. The elastic response of the fibers is characterized by a central force stretching stiffness as well as a bending stiffness that acts transverse to the fiber contour. Previous studies have shown that this model displays an anomalous elastic regime where the stretching mode is fully frozen out and the elastic energy is completely dominated by the bending mode. We demonstrate by simulations and scaling arguments that, in contrast to the bending dominated \emph{elastic energy}, the equally important \emph{elastic forces} are to a large extent stretching dominated. By characterizing these forces on microscopic, mesoscopic and macroscopic scales we find two mechanisms of how forces are transmitted in the network. While forces smaller than a threshold $F_c$ are effectively balanced by a homogeneous background medium, forces larger than $F_c$ are found to be heterogeneously distributed throughout the sample, giving rise to highly localized force-chains known from granular media.

description: Changes in the metal properties, caused by periodic indents in the metal surface, have been studied within the limit of quantum theory of free electrons. It was shown that due to destructive interference of de Broglie waves, some quantum states inside the low-dimensional metal become quantum mechanically forbidden for free electrons. Wave vector density in k space, reduce dramatically. At the same time, number of free electrons does not change, as metal remains electrically neutral. Because of Pauli exclusion principle some free electrons have to occupy quantum states with higher wave numbers. Fermi vector and Fermi energy of low-dimensional metal increase and consequently its work function decrease. In experiment, magnitude of the effect is limited by the roughness of metal surface. Rough surface causes scattering of the de Broglie waves and compromise their interference. Recent experiments demonstrated reduction of work function in thin metal films, having periodic indents in the surface. Experimental results are in good qualitative agreement with the theory. This effect could exist in any quantum system comprising fermions inside a potential energy box of special geometry.

description: Crystals of plasmonic metal nanoparticles have intriguing optical properties. They reach the regimes of ultrastrong and deep strong light-matter coupling, where the photonic states need to be included in the simulation of material properties. We propose a quantum description of the plasmon polaritons in supercrystals that starts from the dipole and quadrupole excitations of the nanoparticle building blocks and their coupling to photons. Our model excellently reproduces results of finite difference time domain simulations. It provides detailed insight into the emergence of the polariton states. Using the example of a face centered cubic crystals we show that the dipole and quadrupole states mix in many high symmetry directions of the Brilouin zone. A proper description of the plasmon and plasmon-polariton band structure is only possible when including the quadrupole-derived states. Our model leads to an expression of the reduced coupling strength in nanoparticle supercrystals that we show to enter the deep strong coupling regime for metal fill fractions above $0.8$. In addition to the plasmon-polariton energies we analyse the relative contributions of the dipole, quadrupole, and photonic states to their eigenfunctions and are able to demonstrate the decoupling of light in the deep strong coupling regime. Our results pave the way for a better understanding of the quantum properties of metallic nanoparticle supercrystals in the ultrastrong and deep-strong coupling regime.

description: Propagation, transmission and reflection properties of linearly polarized plane waves and arbitrarily short electromagnetic pulses in one-dimensional dispersionless dielectric media possessing an arbitrary space-time dependence of the refractive index are studied by using a two-component, highly symmetric version of Maxwell's equations. The use of any slow varying amplitude approximation is avoided. Transfer matrices of sharp nonstationary interfaces are calculated explicitly, together with the amplitudes of all secondary waves produced in the scattering. Time-varying multilayer structures and spatiotemporal lenses in various configurations are investigated analytically and numerically in a unified approach. Several new effects are reported, such as pulse compression, broadening and spectral manipulation of pulses by a spatiotemporal lens, and the closure of the forbidden frequency gaps with the subsequent opening of wavenumber bandgaps in a generalized Bragg reflector.

description: We undertake a systematic exploration of recurrent patterns in a 1-dimensional Kuramoto-Sivashinsky system. For a small, but already rather turbulent system, the long-time dynamics takes place on a low-dimensional invariant manifold. A set of equilibria offers a coarse geometrical partition of this manifold. A variational method enables us to determine numerically a large number of unstable spatiotemporally periodic solutions. The attracting set appears surprisingly thin - its backbone are several Smale horseshoe repellers, well approximated by intrinsic local 1-dimensional return maps, each with an approximate symbolic dynamics. The dynamics appears decomposable into chaotic dynamics within such local repellers, interspersed by rapid jumps between them.

Year: 2021

description: Aufgrund der demografischen Altersentwicklung der Bevölkerung wird auch die Prävalenz von Suchterkrankungen im höheren Alter zunehmen. Am häufigsten festgestellt wird der problematische Konsum von Alkohol und Medikamenten oder deren Kombination. Im Hinblick auf die Entwicklung von Suchtproblemen stellen ältere Menschen eine besonders vulnerable Gruppe dar. Der Austritt aus dem Berufsleben mit dem Verlust von Tagesstruktur, die zunehmende Isolation und körperliche Gebrechen sind die wichtigsten Faktoren, welche eine Suchtentwicklung begünstigen können. Die vorliegende Arbeit umfasst eine Situationsanalyse bezüglich Suchtprävention im Alter für den Kanton Nidwalden. Bestehende kantonale Angebote wurden zusammengetragen, Good Practice-Modelle aufgezeigt und durch Expertinnen- und Experteninterviews ergänzt. Stärken und Schwächen des bestehenden Angebots konnten identifiziert und Empfehlungen für eine wirkungsvolle Suchtprävention im Alter für den Kanton Nidwalden formuliert werden. Die Situationsanalyse zeigte, dass sowohl verhaltens- wie auch verhältnisbezogene Massnahmen notwendig sind. Im Bereich der Verhaltensprävention konnte festgestellt werden, dass eine Sensibilisierung der Zielgruppe, sowohl durch Informationsmaterial wie auch durch Veranstaltungen, angezeigt ist. Weiter zeigte sich, dass vorhandene Freizeit- und Beschäftigungsangebote der Zielgruppe bekannt gemacht werden müssen. Im Rahmen der Verhältnisprävention wurde erkannt, dass Fachpersonen aus der Hausarztmedizin sowie aus dem Pflege- und Betreuungsbereich über die Suchtrisiken älterer Menschen informiert und befähigt werden müssen, adäquate Massnahmen zur Früherkennung und Frühintervention umzusetzen. Ein weiteres Handlungsfeld umfasst die Unterstützung der Angehörigen von suchtgefährdeten oder bereits suchtkranken Personen. Ihnen sollen bestehende Fachstellen und Hilfsangebote bekannt gemacht werden. Die Analyse brachte zudem die Wichtigkeit von Vernetzung und des fachlichen Austauschs unter den Akteuren und Akteurinnen zum Vorschein. Die gewonnenen Erkenntnisse und daraus abgeleiteten Empfehlungen zeigen, dass die Verhinderung einer Suchtentwicklung eine herausfordernde Aufgabe ist. Für eine wirkungsvolle und nachhaltige Umsetzung müssen die Aktivitäten sorgfältig geplant, auf verschiedenen Ebenen angesiedelt und langfristig angelegt werden.

description: Near Ambient Pressure Scanning Photoelectron Microscopy adds to the widely used photoemission spectroscopy and its chemically selective capability two key features: (i) the possibility to chemically analyse samples in a more realistic environmental, gas pressure condition, and (ii) the capability to investigate a system at the relevant spatial scale. To achieve these goals the approach developed at the ESCA Microscopy beamline at the Elettra Synchrotron facility combines the submicron lateral resolution of a Scanning Photoelectron Microscope with a custom designed Near Ambient Pressure Cell where a gas pressure up to 0.1 mbar is confined inside it around the sample. In this manuscript a review of experiments performed with this unique setup will be presented to illustrate its potentiality in both fundamental and applicative research such as the oxidation reactivity and gas sensitivity of metal oxides and semiconductors. In particular the capability to do operando experiment with this setup opens the possibility to perform investigations with active devices to properly address the real nature of the studied systems, because it can yield to more conclusive results when microscopy and spectroscopy are simultaneously combined in a single technique.
Comparison of creep/duration of load performance in bending of Parallam® parallel strand lumber to machine stress rated lumber
Creators: name: Craig, Bruce A.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: A comparison of the creep/duration of load (DOL) performance of a new structural wood composite material called Parallam® parallel strand lumber (PSL) to two grades of machine-stress-rated (HSR) Douglas-fir lumber is presented in this thesis. Evaluation of the creep/DOL performance was made on nominal 2x4 members under constant bending stress at three stress levels. A total of 306 test specimens were evaluated for a 15-1/2 month time period. The analysis suggests that the duration of load effect for Parallam PSL was consistent with the Madison curve for the time period studied while the MSR Douglas-fir lumber was consistent with recent duration of load models developed for structural lumber. The analysis also indicates that the current duration of load adjustment factors can be applied to develop working stresses for Parallam. The creep behaviour of the Parallam PSL was found to be equivalent or better than the two MSR lumber grades under dry-service conditions. Furthermore, evidence of linear viscoelastic behaviour was found for all test materials within the range of applied stresses evaluated. Two mathematical models of creep were fitted to the creep data and compared. A '4-parameter linear viscoelastic' model fitted the creep data better than an empirical 'power curve' model. The model parameters developed provide a basis for estimating the mean creep behaviour and variability in creep response for these materials under in-service load conditions for dry-service environments.

Il est temps de prendre au sérieux l’art gionien du récit bref pour tenter d’en dégager les principales caractéristiques.

description: The interpretation by the author in recent years of bond lengths as sums of the relevant atomic or ionic radii has been extended here to the bonds in the skeletal structures of adenine, guanine, thymine, cytosine, uracil, ribose, deoxyribose and phosphoric acid. On examining the bond length data in the literature, it has been found that the averages of the bond lengths are close to the sums of the corresponding atomic covalent radii of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen and phosphorus. Thus, the conventional molecular structures have been resolved here, for the first time, into probable atomic structures.

The origin of the molecular emission around the southern hemisphere Re 4 IRS - HH 188 region

description: We present SEST observations of the molecular environment ahead of the southern Herbig-Haro object 188 (HH188), associated with the low-mass protostar Re4 IRS. We have also used the SuperCosmos Halpha survey to search for Halpha emission associated with the Re4 IRS - HH188 region. The aim of the present work is to study the properties of the molecular gas and to better characterize this southern star forming region. We mapped the HCO+ 3-2 and H13CO+ 1-0 emission around the YSO and took spectra of the CH3OH 2(0)-1(0)A+ and 2(-1)-1(-1)E and SO 6(5)-5(4) towards the central source. Column densities are derived and different scenarios are considered to explain the origin of the molecular emission. HCO+ arises from a relatively compact region around the YSO; however, its peak emission is displaced to the south following the outflow direction. Our chemical analysis indicates that a plausible scenario is that most of the emission arises from the cold, illuminated dense gas ahead of the HH188 object. We have also found that HH188, a high excitation object, seems to be part of a parsec scale and highly collimated HH system. Re4 IRS is probably a binary protostellar system, in the late Class 0 or Class I phase. One of the protostars, invisible in the near-IR, seems to power the HH188 system.

The Void Phenomenon Explained

description: We use high-resolution N-body simulations, combined with a halo occupation model of galaxy bias, to investigate voids in the galaxy distribution. Our goal is to address the 'void phenomenon' of Peebles (2001), which presents the observed dearth of faint galaxies in voids as a challenge to the current cosmology. In our model, galaxy luminosity is determined only as a function of dark matter halo mass. With this simple assumption, we demonstrate that large, empty voids of ~15 Mpc/h in diameter are expected even for galaxies seven magnitudes fainter than L*. The predictions of our model are in excellent agreement with several statistical measures; (i) the luminosity function of galaxies in underdense regions, (ii) nearest neighbor statistics of dwarf galaxies, (iii) the void probability function of faint galaxies. In the transition between filaments and voids in the dark matter, the halo mass function changes abruptly, causing the maximum galaxy luminosity to decrease by ~5 magnitudes over a range of ~1 Mpc/h. Thus the boundary between filaments and voids in the galaxy distribution is nearly as sharp for dwarfs as for ~L* objects. These results support a picture in which galaxy formation is driven predominantly by the mass of the host dark matter halo, and is nearly independent of the larger-scale halo environment. Further, they demonstrate that LCDM, combined with a straightforward bias model, naturally explains the existence of the void phenomenon.

description: Several states were proposed as candidates for the $ν=5/2$ quantum Hall plateau. We suggest an experiment which can determine the physical state. The proposal involves transport measurements in the geometry with three quantum Hall edges connected by two quantum point contacts. In contrast to interference experiments, this approach can distinguish the Pfaffian and anti-Pfaffian states as well as different states with identical Pfaffian or anti-Pfaffian statistics. The transport is not sensitive to the fluctuations of the number of the quasiparticles trapped in the system.

description: We study ground state degeneracy and spin-wave excitations in a 1D version of a Kagome antiferromagnet -- a Heisenberg antiferromagnet on a Kagome stripe. We show that for nearest-neighbor interaction, the classical ground state is infinitely degenerate. For any spin configuration from the degenerate set, the classical spin-wave spectrum contains, in addition to Goldstone modes, a branch of zero energy excitations, and a zero mode in another branch. We demonstrate that the interactions beyond nearest neighbors lift the degeneracy, eliminate a zero mode, and give a finite dispersion to formerly zero-energy branch, leaving only Goldstone modes as zero-energy excitations.

description: We present a new algebraic method for solving the inverse problem of quantum scattering theory based on the Marchenko theory. We applied a triangular wave set for the Marchenko equation kernel expansion in a separable form. The separable form allows a reduction of the Marchenko equation to a system of linear equations. For the zero orbital angular momentum, a linear expression of the kernel expansion coefficients is obtained in terms of the Fourier series coefficients of a function depending on the momentum $q$ and determined by the scattering data in the finite range of $q$. It is shown that a Fourier series on a finite momentum range ($0
