Towards a more fundamental theory beyond quantum mechanics, avoiding the Schroedinger paradox
Creators: name: Caravaglios, Francesco
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The main distinction between classical mechanics and quantum mechanics is the lack in the latter of a full mechanical determinism: different final states can arise from the same physical state, after the measurement. No hidden variable is supposed to exist, nothing can discriminate two apparently identical states even if they give a different result. In this paper we try to put the basis for a more fundamental theory that (approximately) coincides with quantum mechanics when comparing statistics, but it is more fundamental, since it mathematically describes measurement processes giving an explicit time evolution of the wave function during the collapse. The theory is deterministic even if the Heisenberg uncertainty principle is still valid. The theory distinguishes physical states that collapse and physical states that do not collapse. The theory can be made compatible with all experiments done in the past, but new phenomena such as violations of the Born law or the superposition principle could transpire. However, even if we have probably shown that it is possible to build ad hoc a theory that can describe both the wave function collapse and the Schroedinger linear evolution, a simple and unified construction is still missing.

description: In this paper we study the controllability of an artificial advection-diffusion system through the boundary. Suitable Carleman estimates give us the observability on the adjoint system in the one dimensional case. We also study some basic properties of our problem such as backward uniqueness and we get an intuitive result on the control cost for vanishing viscosity.

Sudden interaction quench in the quantum sine-Gordon model

description: We study a sudden interaction quench in the weak-coupling regime of the quantum sine-Gordon model. The real time dynamics of the bosonic mode occupation numbers is calculated using the flow equation method. While we cannot prove results for the asymptotic long time limit, we can establish the existence of an extended regime in time where the mode occupation numbers relax to twice their equilibrium values. This factor two indicates a non-equilibrium distribution and is a universal feature of weak interaction quenches. The weak-coupling quantum sine-Gordon model therefore turns out to be on the borderline between thermalization and non-thermalization.

University housing : an assessment of current policies and practices at the University of British Columbia
Creators: name: Innes, David Murray
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The pressures or urbanization are felt throughout almost every aspect of Twentieth Century North American society. The gap created by the unprecedented rate of change accompanying this process between existing resources and demands has exerted a profound impact in many facets or urbanized society, certainly in the area of education. University housing is one particular aspect of education which has experienced the demanding pressures of urbanized change, largely due to the expanded role of the university in contemporary society, and the concomitant increases in enrollment this has fostered. The intention of this thesis is to examine current trends in university housing in the North American context, and to relate these to student housing policy and practice at the University of British Columbia as a case study. From this process of analysis and evaluation, specific policy proposals and recommendations in relation to student housing at U.B.C. will be made. The thesis hypothesizes that university housing policy at the case study level is limited by economic and quantitative considerations to the provision of accommodation on a scale largely disregarding both the diversity of student housing determinants and the larger university community as a whole, coinciding closely with housing policies at universities elsewhere throughout the continent. University housing trends and developments in the North American context are examined through a review of current literature in terms of their historical traditions, current reactions to the pressures of growth and urbanization, financial implications, and their relationship to the university and the city. Student housing at the case study level is examined in terms of current university housing policy, housing demand, and existing housing determinants and locational factors. The basic conclusions of the thesis recommend greater university initiative in the establishment of a realistic and comprehensive housing policy at U.B.C, reflecting student demand as well as the broader development goals of the university itself, and suggest a method of integrating this process within the larger process of planning the university district within the context of a comprehensive development authority.

description: We continue work of Gekeler and others on elliptic curves over ${\mathbb F}_q(T)$ with conductor $\infty\cdot{\mathfrak n}$ where ${\mathfrak n}\in{\mathbb F}_q[T]$ has degree 3. Because of the Frobenius isogeny there are infinitely many curves in each isogeny class, and we discuss in particular which of these curves is the strong Weil curve with respect to the uniformization by the Drinfeld modular curve $X_0({\mathfrak n})$. As a corollary we obtain that the strong Weil curve $E/{\mathbb F}_q(T)$ always gives a rational elliptic surface over $\bar{{\mathbb F}_q}$.

description: We observed the accreting millisecond pulsar SAX J1808.4-3658 with Gemini-South in g' and i' bands, nearly simultaneous with XMM-Newton observations. A clear periodic flux modulation on the system's orbital period is present, consistent with the varying aspect of the donor star's heated face. We model the contributions of a disk and donor star to these optical bands. To produce the observed modulation amplitudes, we conclude that the donor must be irradiated by an external flux 2 orders of magnitude greater than provided by the measured X-ray luminosity. A possible explanation for this irradiation is that the radio pulsar mechanism becomes active during the quiescent state as suggested by Burderi et al., with relativistic particles heating the donor's day-side face. Our modelling constrains the binary inclination to be between 36 and 67 degrees. We obtain estimates for the pulsar mass of >2.2 solar masses (although this limit is sensitive to the source's distance), consistent with the accelerated NS cooling in this system indicated by X-ray observations. We also estimate the donor mass to be in the range of 0.07-0.11 solar masses, providing further indications that the system underwent non-standard binary evolution to reach its current state.

Formation of the seed black holes: a role of quark nuggets?
Creators: name: Lai, Xiaoyu

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics (astro-ph.CO)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Strange quark nuggets (SQNs) could be the relics of the cosmological QCD phase transition, and they could very likely be the candidate of cold quark matter if survived the cooling of the later Universe, although the formation and evolution of these SQNs depend on the physical state of the hot QGP (quark-gluon plasma) phase and the state of cold quark matter. We reconsider the possibility of SQNs as cold dark matter, and find that the formation of black holes in primordial halos could be significantly different from the standard scenario. In a primordial halo, the collision between gas and SQNs could be frequent enough, and thus the viscosity acting on each SQN would decrease its angular momentum and make it to sink into the center of the halo, as well as heat the gas. The SQNs with baryon numbers less than $10^{35}$ could assemble in the center of the halo before the formation of primordial stars. A black hole could form by merger of these SQNs, and then its mass could quickly become about $10^3\ M_\odot$ or higher, by accreting the surrounding SQNs or gas. The black holes formed in this way could be the seeds for the supermassive black holes at redshift as high as $z\sim 6$.

Following Maggs et al., we construct an appropriate constrained free energy functional, such that its Euler-Lagrange equations are equivalent to the Poisson-Boltzmann equation. We then develop, implement, and test an algorithm for its numerical minimization, which is quite simple and unconditionally stable. The analytic solution for planar geometry is used for validation. Furthermore, some results are presented for a charged colloidal sphere surrounded by counterions.

In the limit where the time tends to infinity, we prove that this covariance converges to that obtained by P. Diaconis and S. Evans in a previous work on uniformly distributed unitary matrices. Finally, we discuss some combinatorial aspects of our results.

description: In this paper we consider the analytic continuation of the weighted Bergman spaces on the Lie ball $$\mathscr{D}=SO(2,n)/S(O(2) \times O(n))$$ and the corresponding holomorphic unitary (projective) representations of SO(2,n) on these spaces. These representations are known to be irreducible. Our aim is to decompose them under the subgroup SO(1,n) which acts as the isometry group of a totally real submanifold $\mathscr{X}$ of $\mathscr{D}$. We give a proof of a general decomposition theorem for certain unitary representations of semisimple Lie groups. In the particular case we are concerned with, we find an explicit formula for the Plancherel measure of the decomposition as the orthogonalising measure for certain hypergeometric polynomials. Moreover, we construct an explicit generalised Fourier transform that plays the role of the intertwining operator for the decomposition. We prove an inversion formula and a Plancherel formula for this transform. Finally we construct explicit realisations of the discrete part appearing in the decomposition and also for the minimal representation in this family.
The Ergodic Capacity of Phase-Fading Interference Networks

description: We identify the role of equal strength interference links as bottlenecks on the ergodic sum capacity of a $K$ user phase-fading interference network, i.e., an interference network where the fading process is restricted primarily to independent and uniform phase variations while the channel magnitudes are held fixed across time. It is shown that even though there are $K(K-1)$ cross-links, only about $K/2$ disjoint and equal strength interference links suffice to determine the capacity of the network regardless of the strengths of the rest of the cross channels. This scenario is called a \emph{minimal bottleneck state}. It is shown that ergodic interference alignment is capacity optimal for a network in a minimal bottleneck state. The results are applied to large networks. It is shown that large networks are close to bottleneck states with a high probability, so that ergodic interference alignment is close to optimal for large networks. Limitations of the notion of bottleneck states are also highlighted for channels where both the phase and the magnitudes vary with time. It is shown through an example that for these channels, joint coding across different bottleneck states makes it possible to circumvent the capacity bottlenecks.

description: The explosion of sub-Chandrasekhar mass white dwarfs via the double detonation scenario is a potential explanation for type Ia supernovae. In this scenario, a surface detonation in a helium layer initiates a detonation in the underlying carbon/oxygen core leading to an explosion. For a given core mass, a lower bound has been determined on the mass of the helium shell required for dynamical burning during a helium flash, which is a necessary prerequisite for detonation. For a range of core and corresponding minimum helium shell masses, we investigate whether an assumed surface helium detonation is capable of triggering a subsequent detonation in the core even for this limiting case. We carried out hydrodynamic simulations on a co-expanding Eulerian grid in two dimensions assuming rotational symmetry. The detonations are propagated using the level-set approach and a simplified scheme for nuclear reactions that has been calibrated with a large nuclear network. The same network is used to determine detailed nucleosynthetic abundances in a post-processing step. Based on approximate detonation initiation criteria in the literature, we find that secondary core detonations are triggered for all of the simulated models, ranging in core mass from 0.810 up to 1.385 M_solar with corresponding shell masses from 0.126 down to 0.0035 M_solar. This implies that, as soon as a detonation triggers in a helium shell covering a carbon/oxygen white dwarf, a subsequent core detonation is virtually inevitable.

description: We present numerical N-body simulation studies of large-scale structure formation. The main purpose of these studies is to analyze the several models of dark matter and the role they played in the process of large-scale structure formation. We analyze in this work a flat cold dark matter dominated model known as the Santa Barbara cluster. We compare the results for this model using the standard Newtonian limit of general relativity with the corresponding results of using the Newtonian limit of scalar-tensor theories. An specific model is the one that considers that the scalar field is non-minimally coupled to the Ricci scalar in the Einstein-Hilbert Lagrangian. Comparisons of the models are done showing results of rotation curves, density profiles, and velocity dispersions for halos formed at z=0. We analyze, in particular, the Santa Barbara cluster and its possible equation of state.

description: We explain the Fano peak (an asymmetric resonance peak) as an interference effect involving resonant states. We reveal that there are three types of Fano asymmetry according to their origins: the interference between a resonant state and an anti-resonant state, that between a resonant state and a bound state, and that between two resonant states. We show that the last two show the asymmetric energy dependence given by Fano, but the first one shows a slightly different form. In order to show the above, we analytically and microscopically derive a formula where we express the conductance purely in terms of the summation over all discrete eigenstates including resonant states and anti-resonant states, without any background integrals. We thereby obtain microscopic expressions of the Fano parameters that describe the three types of the Fano asymmetry. One of the expressions indicate that the corresponding Fano parameter becomes complex under an external magnetic field.

description: Some University historians indicate that the Targum was first published as an annual in 1867, but of this we have no extant evidence. In January 1869, the Targum as we now know it, made its appearance as a monthly paper that concerned itself with student “literary contributions” and college news as well as serving as a vehicle for bringing news to alumni and the general public. The newspaper, which originally was for sale, varied in frequency over the years as did its title (The Targum, Rutgers Targum, Rutgers Daily Targum, and Daily Targum). The newspaper has continuously been published since 1869 with the exception of 19 months during the second world war, between February 1944 and October 1945. The Targum was published by the students of Rutgers College, and later Rutgers University—New Brunswick represented through the years as the Targum Association, Rutgers Targum Association, and Rutgers College Targum. As a student organization, the Targum operated under the oversight of the dean of students and student government but in October 1980, the Targum became an independent college paper.

description: Starting from trace formulae for the tunnelling splittings (or decay rates) analytically continued in the complex time domain, we obtain explicit semiclassical expansions in terms of complex trajectories that are selected with appropriate complex-time paths. We show how this instanton-like approach, which takes advantage of an incomplete Wick rotation, accurately reproduces tunnelling effects not only in the usual double-well potential but also in situations where a pure Wick rotation is insufficient, for instance dynamical tunnelling or resonant tunnelling. Even though only one-dimensional autonomous Hamiltonian systems are quantitatively studied, we discuss the relevance of our method for multidimensional and/or chaotic tunnelling.
Mate selection in the threespine stickleback (Gasterosteus)
Creators: name: Hay, Douglas Edward
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The threespine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus L.) is a highly varied and widely distributed species of small fish. Throughout most of its range there are two distinct forms. One form (trachurus) is anadromous and the other form (leiurus) is sedentary and lives entirely in fresh water. Hagen (1967) concluded that these two forms were re productively isolated and that both leiurus and trachurus should be considered as species. Hagen's conclusion was based on differences he found in ecological habitats, breeding times, and the apparent absence of introgression between, leiurus and trachurus. The purpose of this study was to determine if ethological factors or mate selection contribute to reproductive isolation. Mate selection tests were conducted in which (1) courting males were simultaneously exposed to receptive females of both types, and (2) receptive females were simultaneously exposed to both types of courting males. The results of both these tests clearly demonstrate that matings between similar phenotypes occur significantly more often than matings between dissimilar phenotypes. Additional experiments attempt to document the specific behavioural mechanisms responsible for mate selectivity. The orientation of males to females, and females to males, was observed and quantified. Males were found to orient, or direct most of their courtship, to females of their own phenotype. Females also tended to orient to males of their own phenotype. Certain behavioural patterns of male courtship were quantified and compared between leiurus and trachurus. Significant differences were found in a number of courtship activities: leiurus males perform significantly more zig-zags per minute than trachurus males, the first courtship response of leiurus males is usually a zig-zag while the first response of trachurus males is usually a bite. Non-random mating between leiurus and trachurus may contribute greatly to their reproductive isolation. Non-random or selective mating may be explained by difference in behaviour between the two forms, particularly during courtship.

description: We consider the ground state of a single "spin-down" impurity atom interacting attractively with a "spin-up" atomic Fermi gas. By constructing variational wave functions for polarons, molecules and trimers, we perform a detailed study of the transitions between each of these dressed bound states as a function of mass ratio $r=m_\uparrow/m_\downarrow$ and interaction strength. We find that the presence of a Fermi sea enhances the stability of the $p$-wave trimer, which can be viewed as a Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) molecule that has bound an additional majority atom. For sufficiently large $r$, we find that the transitions lie outside the region of phase separation in imbalanced Fermi gases and should thus be observable in experiment, unlike the well-studied equal-mass case.

description: Light emission spectrum from a scanning tunnelling microscope (LESTM) is investigated as a function of relative humidity and shown to be a novel and sensitive means for probing the growth and properties of a water meniscus in the nm-scale. An empirical model of the light emission process is formulated and applied successfully to replicate the decay in light intensity and spectral changes observed with increasing relative humidity. The modelling indicates a progressive water filling of the tip-sample junction with increasing humidity or, more pertinently, of the volume of the localized surface plasmons responsible for light emission; it also accounts for the effect of asymmetry in structuring of the water molecules with respect to polarity of the applied bias. This is juxtaposed with the case of a non-polar liquid in the tip-sample nano cavity where no polarity dependence of the light emission is observed. In contrast to the discrete detection of the presence/absence of water bridge in other scanning probe experiments by measurement of the feedback parameter for instrument control LESTM offers a means of continuously monitoring the development of the water bridge with sub-nm sensitivity. The results are relevant to applications such as dip-pen nanolithography and electrochemical scanning probe microscopy.

description: The starting point of this article is the question "How to retrieve fingerprints of rhythm in written texts?" We address this problem in the case of Brazilian and European Portuguese. These two dialects of Modern Portuguese share the same lexicon and most of the sentences they produce are superficially identical. Yet they are conjectured, on linguistic grounds, to implement different rhythms. We show that this linguistic question can be formulated as a problem of model selection in the class of variable length Markov chains. To carry on this approach, we compare texts from European and Brazilian Portuguese. These texts are previously encoded according to some basic rhythmic features of the sentences which can be automatically retrieved. This is an entirely new approach from the linguistic point of view. Our statistical contribution is the introduction of the smallest maximizer criterion which is a constant free procedure for model selection. As a by-product, this provides a solution for the problem of optimal choice of the penalty constant when using the BIC to select a variable length Markov chain. Besides proving the consistency of the smallest maximizer criterion when the sample size diverges, we also make a simulation study comparing our approach with both the standard BIC selection and the Peres-Shields order estimation. Applied to the linguistic sample constituted for our case study, the smallest maximizer criterion assigns different context-tree models to the two dialects of Portuguese. The features of the selected models are compatible with current conjectures discussed in the linguistic literature.

description: The Möbius inversion formula, introduced during the 19th century in number theory, was generalized to a wide class of monoids called locally finite such as the free partially commutative, plactic and hypoplactic monoids for instance. In this contribution are developed and used some topological and algebraic notions for monoids with zero, similar to ordinary objects such as the (total) algebra of a monoid, the augmentation ideal or the star operation on proper series. The main concern is to extend the study of the Möbius function to some monoids with zero, i.e., with an absorbing element, in particular the so-called Rees quotients of locally finite monoids. Some relations between the Möbius functions of a monoid and its Rees quotient are also provided.

description: On September 28 2018, an Mw 7.5 strike-slip earthquake occurred to the north of Palu Bay on the Sulawesi Island, Indonesia. This triggered a destructive tsunami within the bay, which reached Palu city. Simulation have been conducted to investigate the landslide source. However, the tsunami should be investigated considering a physical model in the area where detailed bathymetric survey had not been conducted. In this study, we investigated the impact of coastal landslides on the southern part of the bay using a two-layer model. Owing to the increasing collapse volume, the southern west coastal landslide could approximately explain the observations in Palu city. However, the calculated mass volume of the source largely overestimated the bathymetric survey data. Hence, we considered the possibility of submarine landslide in the southern part of the bay and the simulation results could approximately explain the maximum tsunami heights in the southern part of the bay. These results suggest that more detailed multibeam data will be required to investigate the possible submarine landslide in the southern area which could induce a destructive tsunami reaching Palu city within a few minutes after the collapse.

description: To accommodate the observed accelerated expansion of the universe, one popular idea is to invoke a driving term in the Friedmann-Lemaitre equation of dark energy which must then comprise 70% of the present cosmological energy density. We propose an alternative interpretation which takes into account the entropy and temperature intrinsic to the horizon of the universe due to the information holographically stored there. Dark energy is thereby obviated and the acceleration is due to an entropic force naturally arising from the information storage on the horizon surface screen. We consider an additional quantitative approach inspired by surface terms in general relativity and show that this leads to the entropic accelerating universe.

Effects of certain climatic factors on the productivity and availability of forages on the Ashnola bighorn winter ranges
Creators: name: Harper, Frederick Eugene
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The seasonal development and yields of four major plant communities, of the important winter ranges of California bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis californiana Douglas) in the Ashnola region, and their relation to basic climatic factors, were studied from May 1967 through December 1968. The four communities were: 1) Da bunch grass community dominated by Agropyron spicatum, 2) a sod grass community dominated by Poa pratensis, 3) a tree understory community dominated by Calamagrostis rubescens and 4) a half-shrub community dominated by Artemisia frigida. The climatic variables measured were: ambient air temperature, precipitation, including snow, evaporation and wind. Run-off, soil moisture and soil temperature were also measured. To reduce climatic variations between communities, all study sites were located at approximately the same elevation and were close to one another. Virtually all forage production in the four communities, in the growing seasons of both 1967 and 1958, occurred before the end of July. After this time, due to shattering, leaching and decay, decreases in herbage weights, ranging from 23 to 35 percent occurred by autumn, and further losses, ranging from 7 to 36 percent occurred over winter. The mean growth rates were essentially the same in the two years, but the cessation of growth two weeks earlier in 1968, resulted in lower production than in 1967. The dates spring growth commenced coincided closely with the dates that mean daily temperatures rose to 42 degrees Fahrenheit, whereas the dates growth ceased coincided closely with the dates that available soil water was exhausted. Both ambient air temperatures and soil temperatures remained favourable for growth until early autumn. The length of the growing season is the main factor determining net productivity of the Ashnola bighorn winter ranges; temperatures determine the beginning of the season and soil moisture deficits terminate the season. Moreover because the growing season is relatively short, climatic influences are important factors determining how much of the forage produced will remain potentially available for overwintering bighorn.

description: We study the relationship between characteristics of new mortgages and borrowers’ financial stress in Canada’s energy-intensive regions following the 2014 collapse in oil prices. We find that borrowers with limited home equity were more likely to have difficulty repaying debt.

description: Nous étudions la relation entre les caractéristiques des nouveaux prêts hypothécaires et les tensions financières chez les emprunteurs dans les régions du Canada où le secteur de l’énergie est très présent après l’effondrement des prix du pétrole en 2014. Nous constatons que ceux ayant un avoir propre foncier limité étaient plus susceptibles d’avoir de la difficulté à rembourser leurs dettes.
Relationship of precipitation to runoff from a small westcoast watershed
Creators: name: Zeman, Lubomir John
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Streamflow from a small watershed on the western slopes of the British Columbia Coast Mountains is strongly influenced by a maritime climate (wet winters and dry summers). The abrupt rise northward from the Fraser delta to the north shore mountain--5000 feet + in 20 miles--has a pronounced orographic effect on the annual precipitation. Militza Lake Basin, which is located at the south west corner of Golden Ears Provincial Park, has been chosen as an area to study the hydrologic characteristics of the west coast conditions. Instrumentation began in 1966. Hydrometric surveys, collection of systematic records of stage and precipitation data to provide essential information on the headwaters of the drainage area, were carried out in 1967. The information obtained from records between October 1, 1967 and September 30, 1968 has been subjected to analysis. The degree of correlation that naturally existed during this period, between the streamflow characteristics under study and precipitation as a control parameter, has been established.

description: Recently, a new mechanism leading to purely quantum directed transport in the asymmetric multibaker map has been presented. Here, we show a comprehensive characterization of the finite asymptotic current behavior with respect to the $h$ value, the shape of the initial conditions, and the features of the spectrum. We have considered different degrees of asymmetry in these studies and we have also analyzed the classical and quantum phase space distributions for short times in order to understand the mechanisms behind the generation of the directed current.

description: Excerpts from the report Purpose: Studies summarized in this report attempted to provide some insight into the relationship of the industry and the rural community. Interest centered on the personal and family characteristics of individuals hired by rural industries and the effects of industrial development on incomes and level of living. Another question probed was how industrialization affected family participation in social and community organizations and activities. Information on the farming operations of part-time farmers was obtained. The reaction of plant employees was compared with the reaction of other residents of the rural community to measure differences in attitudes and effects of rural industrialization on two occupationally divergent groups within the community. Information was desired to serve two interested groups: (1) Federal and State agencies that have responsibilities for area development and (2) rural communities that have undergone some degree of industrialization in recent years or those planning for industrial development.
Generalized Painleve-Gullstrand descriptions of Kerr-Newman black holes

description: Generalized Painleve-Gullstrand metrics are explicitly constructed for the Kerr-Newman family of charged rotating black holes. These descriptions are free of all coordinate singularities; moreover, unlike the Doran and other proposed metrics, an extra tunable function is introduced to ensure all variables in the metrics remain real for all values of the mass M, charge Q, angular momentum aM, and cosmological constant Λ> - 3/(a^2). To describe fermions in Kerr-Newman spacetimes, the stronger requirement of non-singular vierbein one-forms at the horizon(s) is imposed and coordinate singularities are eliminated by local Lorentz boosts. Other known vierbein fields of Kerr-Newman black holes are analysed and discussed; and it is revealed that some of these descriptions are actually not related by physical Lorentz transformations to the original Kerr-Newman expression in Boyer-Lindquist coordinates - which is the reason complex components appear (for certain ranges of the radial coordinate) in these metrics. As an application of our constructions the correct effective Hawking temperature for Kerr black holes is derived with the method of Parikh and Wilczek.
