description: We introduce the notion of transmission time to study the dynamics of disordered quantum spin chains and prove results relating its behavior to many-body localization properties. We also study two versions of the so-called Local Integrals of Motion (LIOM) representation of spin chain Hamiltonians and their relation to dynamical many-body localization. We prove that uniform-in-time dynamical localization expressed by a zero-velocity Lieb-Robinson bound implies the existence of a LIOM representation of the dynamics as well as a weak converse of this statement. We also prove that for a class of spin chains satisfying a form of exponential dynamical localization, sparse perturbations result in a dynamics in which transmission times diverge at least as a power law of distance, with a power for which we provide lower bound that diverges with increasing sparseness of the perturbation.
description: Generalized the results about LIOMs to more general interactions (stretched exponential decay), simplified the proof of Theorem 2.11, made some minor corrections, and added two references

Scientific advances and adaptation strategies for Wisconsin lakes facing climate change. Lake Reserv Manage. 35:364–381. Climate change threatens inland lakes, which are highly valued for their ecological and economic benefits. Here, we synthesize adaptation strategies that could offset climate impacts on Midwestern lakes. Our synthesis is based on results from the Wisconsin Initiative on Climate Change Impacts lake adaptation workshop, in which 48 researchers and managers with expertise on Wisconsin’s inland lakes gathered to provide input on climate adaptation strategies. We identified recent scientific advances, knowledge gaps, and examples of successful climate adaptation strategies with respect to four key themes: lake levels, water quality, aquatic invasive species, and fisheries. While adaptation strategies for each theme differed, there was consensus around the need for a multifaceted approach that incorporates communication and outreach, policy and regulation changes, traditional resource conservation approaches, and novel engineering designs. Managers should focus on protecting high-quality lakes, building lake resilience, and retaining beneficial ecosystem services. Most importantly, thoughtful and strategic interactions with stakeholders, policymakers, and researchers across multiple disciplines will be key to implementing climate adaptation strategies.

description: The single particle eigenstates of the Aubry-André-Harper model are known to show a delocalization-localization transition at a finite strength of the quasi-periodic disorder. In this work, we point out that an intimate relationship exists between the sub-band structure of the spectrum and transport properties of the model. To capture the transport properties we have not only used a variety of single-particle measures like inverse participation ratio, and von Neumann entropy, but also many-particle measures such as persistent current and its variance, and many body entanglement entropy. The many-particle measures are very sensitive to the sub-band structure of the spectrum. Even in the delocalized phase, surprisingly the entanglement entropy is substantially suppressed when the Fermi level is in the band gaps whereas the persistent current is vanishingly small for the same locations of the Fermi level. The entanglement entropy seems to follow area-law exclusively for these special locations of Fermi level or filling fractions of free fermions. A study of the standard deviation of persistent current offers further distinguishing features for the special fillings. In the delocalized phase, the standard deviation vs. mean persistent current curves are discontinuous for the non-special values of filling fractions and continuous (closed) for the special values of filling fractions whereas in the localized phase, these curves become straight lines for both types of filling fractions. We have also discussed how the results depend on the system size. Our results, specially on the persistent current, can potentially be tested experimentally using the present day set-ups based on ultra-cold atoms.

description: Otto Appel (1867-1952) is best known for his research in the field of phytopathology, in particular for his discoveries on bacterial and fungal diseases of crops such as potato and cereals. His work ranged from fundamental research, like the discovery and description of pathogens and their ways to affect their host plants, to applied research on cultivation practices and storage methods. He published numerous scientific articles as well as practical recommendations for farmers in form of flyers and pocket books with the aim to improve yield and quality and to reduce losses and, thus, securing the supply with plant based food and materials. His commitment to applied research was also reflected in his long-term membership in the board of the Association for Applied Botany and later on in the awarding of Honorary Presidency of the Association. As director of the Federal Biological Research Centre for Agriculture and Forestry in Berlin, he was the key player in setting up an efficient and well-organized plant protection service in Germany. Otto Appel’s achievements significantly influenced agricultural practices and generally enhanced food quality and safety in Germany and beyond. They are still remembered today, when the Deutsche Phytomedizinische Gesellschaft awards the Otto Appel Medal to outstanding researchers in phytomedicine every two years.

description: This is a study of the unexplored layers of the Japanese practice of urban planning and architecture in urban Manchuria (current northeast China) during the first half of the twentieth century. I reframe my examination within a broader context of international imperialism and Japanese reception of modern architecture during the first half of the twentieth century and argue that the dynamic interactions among the Japanese, Russian, and Chinese politicians and architects mutually shaped the international cityscapes in Manchuria. Moreover, I examine Japanese architects’ writings and buildings to illustrate how they regulated the indigenous and former colonial spaces and constructed a modern living space in Manchuria through the development of residential houses.

旧満洲（現在中国東北地方）における植民地都市空間の研究は、これまで公共建築や日本帝国の拡張を中心におこなわれてきた。本研究では、旧満洲都市の商業・生活空間に焦点をあて、建築史、美術史、地域学、社会学などを融合させた従来と異なる学際的なアプローチで、旧満洲の植民地都市空間を再考し、植民地支配の空間体験とモダニズムの本質を解明する。

満洲のケーススタディとして、20世紀前半の長春＝新京の商業・生活空間に焦点をあて、日・中・露の連携と競争がもたらした都市空間の形成と変遷を明らかにする。著者が発見した数枚の古地図を分析し、文献資料と照合しながら、1932年まで長春に共存した日本鉄道付属地とロシア鉄道付属地や中国の城内・商埠地との空間的な相互依存関係を検討する。三国の政治と経済の錯綜する土地である長春は、流動的で多層的な都市空間だったのである。さらに、満洲で活躍した日本人建築家の活動と言説を中心に、彼らが設計したモダン住宅や植民地観光のビジュアル資料を再考し、観光表象における「帝国的まなざし」と日常空間との重なりや齟齬を明らかにし、その観光空間と戦後に流行した満洲ロマンやノスタルジーとの関係にも焦点をあててきた。
Obstructing 4-torsion in the classical knot concordance group

description: We prove that if the order of the first homology of the 2-fold branched cover of a knot K in the 3-sphere is given by pm where p is a prime congruent to 3 mod 4 and gcd(p,m) =1, then K is of infinite order in the knot concordance group. This provides an obstruction to classical knots being of order 4. In particular, there are 11 prime knots with 10 or fewer crossings that are of order 4 in the algebraic concordance group; all are infinite order in concordance. Another corollary states that any knot with Alexander polynomial 5t^2 - 11t + 5 is of infinite order in concordance; Levine proved that in higher dimensions all such knots are of order 4.

description: This dissertation is the culmination of over two years of fieldwork at a residence for indigent elderly and disabled people situated in the neighborhood of Park Slope in the borough of Brooklyn, New York.  The research methodology relied heavily on participant observation, as well as a semi-structured formal interview on a select group of informants, to gain a local perspective on the direct and indirect social effects of institutional policies towards indigent elder populations receiving funding from federal and state level agencies. Using theoretical models from medical and psychological anthropology on cultural studies of death, grieving, and mourning, this analysis focuses on entitlement/benefit policies and their social impact on the organizational structure at a geriatric residential complex. Especially salient were the notions of self-identity and the coping strategies used by the elderly poor and the people who are involved in their care to make do with their low social and economic positioning. At this site, in their everyday routines, older adults faced a myriad of challenges imposed by the lack of clarity and consistent change surrounding implementation of these benefits by various outside institutions.
      In this diverse setting, social work staff engaged in care-taking practices in the hope of addressing inequalities experienced by the tenant population. Subsequently, social workers became key participants in maintaining the measurements of equality used to determine eligibility for such resources. This was due in part to their gatekeeper status within the privately funded charity-based organization for the diverse sets of residents supported by a mix of private and public entities using federal and state funds. Ultimately, the regulations designed to alleviate inequality created boundaries among tenants and were a source of tension embroiled in larger issues surrounding ethnic, linguistic, and social difference. By exploring the ways in which professional experts with authoritative-knowledge guided and interacted with the elderly-poor at one independent living facility, the research addresses the growing complexity shadowing affordable housing for older adults in the United States as the populace at large continues to diversify. In addressing how these initiatives were enacted and allocated under these conditions, one of the main aims of this research was to reveal how conflicts and struggles emanating from them were managed.

description: We present a numeric-computational procedure to deal with the intricate bandmixing phenomenology in the framework of the quadratic eigenvalue problem (QEP), which is derived from a physical system described by N-coupled components Sturm-Liouville matrix boundary-equation. The modeling retrieves the generalized Schur decomposition and the root-locus-like techniques to describe the dynamics of heavy holes (hh), light holes (lh) and spin-split holes (sh) in layered semiconductor heterostructures. By exercising the extended (N = 6) Kohn Lüttinger model, our approach successfully overcomes the medium-intensity regime for quasi-particle coupling of previous theoretical studies. As a bonus, the sufficient conditions for a generalized QEP have been refined. The sh-related off -diagonal elements in the QEP mass-matrix, becomes a competitor of the bandmixing parameter, leading the hh-sh and lh-sh spectral distribution to change, then they can not be disregarded or zeroed, as was assumed in previous theoretical studies. Thereby, we unambiguously predict that several of the new features detected for hh-lh-sh spectral properties and propagating modes, become directly influenced by the metamorphosis of the effective band-offset scattering profile due sub-bandmixing effects strongly modulated with the assistance of sh, even at low-intensity mixing regime.

description: Vector vortex beams possess a topological property that derives both from the spatially varying amplitude of the field and also from its varying polarization. This property arises as a consequence of the inherent Skyrmionic nature of such beams and is quantified by the associated Skyrmion number, which embodies a topological property of the beam. We illustrate this idea for some of the simplest vector beams and discuss the physical significance of the Skyrmion number in this context.

description: Die folgende Dokumentation gibt einen systematischen Überblick über die Entwicklung, regionale Verteilung und sozialstrukturelle Zusammensetzung der Par-teimitgliedschaften in Deutschland ab 1990. Die Tabellen 1,2 und 15-26 sind im Heft 2/2015 der Zeitschrift für Parlamentsfragen veröffentlicht. Es werden nur Daten aus den Mitgliederkarteien der Parteien verwendet (Stand jeweils 31.12.), die von den Parteigeschäftsstellen autorisiert sind. Für die Abbildungen zur Mit-gliederentwicklung der Parteien seit 1946 wurden die eigenen Daten des Verfassers durch Daten aus dem 2005 erschienenen Handbuch zur Statistik der Parlamen-te und Parteien in den westlichen Besatzungszonen und in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland (4 Bände, Düsseldorf: Droste) ergänzt. Bei der Interpretation der Daten des Jahres 1990 ist wegen Datenerfassungsproblemen in Bezug auf die ostdeutschen Landesverbände, die auch zu nachträglichen Karteibereinigungen führten, Vorsicht geboten. Die Dokumentation der sozialstrukturellen Zusammensetzung der Parteimitgliedschaften enthält keine Angaben über die berufliche Stellung, weil die hierzu vorhandenen Daten den Beruf zum Zeitpunkt des Parteieintritts ohne spätere Aktualisierung wiedergeben und somit die tätsächliche Berufsstruktur der Parteimitgliedschaften nicht korrekt widerspiegeln. Im Herbst 2008 wurde auf Anregung der Bundesgeschäftsführer vom Verfasser ein Workshop mit allen für die Mitgliederstatistik verantwortlichen Mitarbeitern der Parteien durchgeführt, auf dem eine Reihe von Verbesserungen der Mitgliederstatistik und ihrer Publika-tion beschlossen wurde. Daher gibt es ab 2008 eine Altersstatistik der Mitglieder mit einer identischen, sehr feinen Altersgruppeneinteilung sowie eine Statistik der Eintritte, Austritte und Todesfälle sowie der Eintritte nach Geschlecht und Alter. Der Anteil einer bestimmten Bevölkerungsgruppe unter den Parteimitgliedern sagt noch nichts darüber aus, ob diese Gruppe in den Parteimitgliedschaften gegen-über der Bevölkerung unter- oder überrepräsentiert ist. Um die Art der Repräsentation sozialer Gruppen in den einzelnen Parteimit-gliedschaften feststellen und zwischen den Parteien exakt vergleichen zu können, wurden daher so genannte Proportionalitätsquotienten (PQ) gebildet, indem der Anteil einer Gruppe an den Parteimitgliedern durch den Anteil dieser Gruppe an der jeweiligen beitrittsberechtigten Bevölkerung dividiert wurde. PQ-Werte über 1 bedeuten daher eine Über-repräsentation der Gruppe bei den Parteimitgliedern und PQ- Werte unter 1 eine Unterrepräsentation, die umso stärker ist, je kleiner der Wert ist.

description: This paper analyzes the effects of information and communication technology (ICT) on governance where the state‘s ability to authoritatively implement and enforce political decisions is weak or functionally absent – areas of limited statehood (AoLS). How do ICTs influence the provision of collective goods in AoLS, especially in policy fields such as security, welfare and the environment? In addressing this question we focus on the emergence of ICT- enabled forms of steering. Virtual organizations such as Ushahidi and FrontlineSMS enable the coordination of collective goods without the same level of hierarchical structure historically associated with traditional forms of governance. The focus lies on quasi-organizational forms that rely on mass collaborative action across electronic networks. The consideration of these questions is supported by fieldwork in Africa in 2011, and on previous research in Afghanistan and various African countries in 2010. The paper concludes with some tentative hypotheses on the interconnection between ICT, statehood and governance.
description: Dieses Arbeitspapier analysiert die Effekte von Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien (ICT) in Räumen begrenzter Staatlichkeit (RbS) mit Bezug auf Governance. Es geht dabei v.a. der Frage nach, wie ICTs die Bereitstellung kollektiver Güter insbesondere in den Politikfeldern Sicherheit, Wohlfahrt und Umwelt beeinflussen. Bei der Beantwortung dieser Frage konzentrieren wir uns auf die Entstehung neuer Steuerungsformen, die auf ICTs basieren. Virtuelle Organisationen wie Ushahidi oder FrontlineSMS beispielsweise ermöglichen die Erbringung kollektiver Güter auch ohne staatlich-hierarchische Strukturen, die in einem traditionellen Verständnis häufig als Voraussetzung von Governance betrachtet werden. Unser Fokus liegt somit auf Governance-Formen die auf kollektivem Handeln über elektronische Netzwerke basieren. Die Diskussion dieser Fragen wird durch die Ergebnisse von Forschungsaufenthalten illustriert, die in den Jahren 2010 und 2011 in Afghanistan und verschiedenen afrikanischen Staaten stattgefunden haben. Das Paper endet mit einigen vorläufigen Hypothesen zu der Verbindung von ICTs, Staatlichkeit und Governance.
Models for Enhanced Absorption in Inhomogeneous Superconductors

description: We discuss the low-frequency absorption arising from quenched inhomogeneity in the superfluid density rho_s of a model superconductor. Such inhomogeneities may arise in a high-T_c superconductor from a wide variety of sources, including quenched random disorder and static charge density waves such as stripes. Using standard classical methods for treating randomly inhomogeneous media, we show that both mechanisms produce additional absorption at finite frequencies. For a two-fluid model with weak mean-square fluctuations in rho_s and a frequency-independent quasiparticle conductivity, the extra absorption has oscillator strength proportional to the quantity /rho_s, as observed in some experiments. Similar behavior is found in a two-fluid model with anticorrelated fluctuations in the superfluid and normal fluid densities. The extra absorption typically occurs as a Lorentzian centered at zero frequency. We present simple model calculations for this extra absorption under conditions of both weak and strong fluctuations. The relation between our results and other model calculations is briefly discussed.

description: At the Crossroads: African American and Caribbean Writers in the Interwar Period charts discourses of folk culture, empire and modernity in the works of six African American and Caribbean writers. Each of the dissertation's three sections pairs a writer from the U.S. with a writer from the Anglophone, Francophone or Spanish-speaking Caribbean: Jean Toomer and Eric Walrond; Langston Hughes and Nicolás Guillén; and Zora Neale Hurston and Jean Price-Mars. I argue that these writers engage the concept of modernity precisely by turning to "imperial sites" that are conspicuously absent from dominant narratives of modern progress. With a sustained interest in the masses and vernacular culture, they turn to the remnants of the Southern plantation, the Caribbean "backwoods," the inner city slums and other "elsewheres" presumably left behind by history. I contend that U.S. empire is a crucial frame for reading the various representations of local folk culture in these works. From the construction of the Panama Canal on the eve of WWI, to the U.S. military occupation of Haiti and ongoing intervention in Cuba, the interwar years are marked by aggressive U.S. expansion into the Caribbean basin. Though it is commonplace to observe that interwar literature is preoccupied with newness and change, less acknowledged is the role of U.S. imperialism in constituting this newness. Caribbean experience is profoundly influenced by these events, and as African Americans sought fuller citizenship they could not ignore the workings of U.S. imperialism just south of the South. Far from being symbols of a bygone time, these imperial sites--and the "folk" who inhabit them--help to produce the modern. At the Crossroads considers the entanglements of U.S. empire and Jim Crow as it traces uses of the folk and vernacular culture across this U.S-Caribbean literary space. The "folk" emerge as a concept that varies across space and time, challenging anew the claims to authenticity, shared origins, and monolithic community that have persistently shaped understandings of the folk's place in the black tradition.

description: As the world’s displaced continue to step through the doors of its cities in numbers not seen in recorded history, planners have an obligation to consider refugees as we reimagine the neighborhoods and paradigms in which we work. While the few refugees who resettle in the United States may be considered on a global level to be fortunate, resettlement systems which have been put in place in the twentieth century have left much of the work of integration to chance. This study aims to identify neighborhood factors which may contribute to a welcoming community for refugees and therefore create greater community integration. An evaluation of physical and social factors on the ground in the Liberian community in Staten Island, combined with personal experiences of resettlement informs the recommendations at the conclusion of this study.
Researching Inequalities from a Socio-ecological Perspective

description: The inequality implications of nature exploitation, utilitarian representations of nature and processes of (global) environmental change are substantial. In Latin America social inequalities are historically rooted in unequal allocation systems of land rights or mining rents. Current investments in natural resources or elements thereof tend to generate new or reinforce existing patterns of inequality. Despite these evidences and despite the increasing recognition of the social dimensions of environmental change, linking the analysis of social inequalities with (global) environmental change, politics and forms of nature appropriation and production is still incipient. Based on first empirical findings from the Research Network on Interdependent Inequalities in Latin America (desiguALdes.net) the aim of this paper is to draw conclusions on how inequalities can be researched through the lens of societal nature relations. The paper reveals ways to theoretically conceptualize and analytically understand social inequalities as historically rooted expressions of contingent spatio-temporal societal nature relations, taking different research fields and social theories as points of departure. The key fields addressed are environmental justice, political ecology and social and cultural anthropology. In addition, core analytical categories such as time, space and physical materiality are introduced in order to show how they operate in empirical analysis. The paper concludes with a summary of the main findings.

description: Mammalian olfaction requires the enduring expression of a single olfactory receptor (OR) gene for the life of each sensory neuron. This is due to the fact that OR proteins play multiple roles in the coherent perception of odors, first by sensing molecular cues from the external environment, and by directing the wiring of neuronal projections faithfully from the peripheral sensory neurons to the brain. Both of these processes require singular and stable OR expression in olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs. The transcription factor Atf5 has previously been shown to enforce these modes of expression, through a process that requires the unfolded protein response (UPR). The work presented in this thesis deciphers how Atf5 enables proper OR expression and neuronal function in the olfactory system. We identify the developmental window in which UPR is activated, and provide evidence that Atf5 protein expression coincides with the assembly of a multi-chromosomal enhancer hub that drives singular and robust OR transcription, opposing a model in which precocious polygenic OR transcription initiates UPR. Further, we show that Atf5 directly regulates a collection of genes that facilitate proper OR trafficking, axonogenesis, as well as transcription factors and chromatin modifiers, which we propose to be involved in stable OR expression and neuronal maturation. Finally, we find that Atf5 has a special role in the olfactory system that cannot be replaced by its ubiquitously expressed homologue, Atf4, and that this is due to a requisite interaction between Atf5 and the bZIP transcription factor Cebpγ, and potentially other transcription factors known to be critical for olfactory function.

description: This dissertation examines the relationship between race and bodily health in the British West Indies and the Carolina/Georgia Lowcountry from the late seventeenth through the early nineteenth century. In the eighteenth century, planters often justified African slavery by claiming that Africans, unlike Europeans, had bodies particularly suited to labor in warm climates. Historians have tended to take these claims as evidence of a growing sense of biological race in plantation societies. Much of this work, though, relies on published sources. This dissertation examines these public sources, including medical manuals, natural histories, and political pamphlets, alongside private sources, particularly the personal correspondence of planters and slaveholders to uncover a different story of race and slavery.
      These two source types reveal significant discrepancies between planters’ public rhetoric and private beliefs about health, race, and the environment in plantation societies. First, correspondence between the Greater Caribbean and Britain demonstrates that health and disease did not contribute to the development of racial slavery in the Atlantic. Second, these sources show how and why planters manipulated public conceptions of climate and health to justify and maintain a system of racial slavery. Planters insisted on climate-based arguments for slavery in spite of their experiences in the Americas, rather than because of them. Slaveholders contributed to the construction of a biological concept of race by making arguments about health differences between Africans and Europeans that they neither experienced nor believed. Nevertheless, their arguments entered the public record and consciousness, and the resultant development of racial thinking had profound consequences that continue to the present day. This dissertation demonstrates the critical importance of the environment to the history of race.

Scientific advances and adaptation strategies for Wisconsin lakes facing climate change. Lake Reserv Manage. XX:XXX–XXX. Climate change threatens inland lakes, which are highly valued for their ecological and economic benefits. Here, we synthesize adaptation strategies that could offset climate impacts on Midwestern lakes. Our synthesis is based on results from the Wisconsin Initiative on Climate Change Impacts lake adaptation workshop, in which 48 researchers and managers with expertise on Wisconsin’s inland lakes gathered to provide input on climate adaptation strategies. We identified recent scientific advances, knowledge gaps, and examples of successful climate adaptation strategies with respect to four key themes: lake levels, water quality, aquatic invasive species, and fisheries. While adaptation strategies for each theme differed, there was consensus around the need for a multifaceted approach that incorporates communication and outreach, policy and regulation changes, traditional resource conservation approaches, and novel engineering designs. Managers should focus on protecting high-quality lakes, building lake resilience, and retaining beneficial ecosystem services. Most importantly, thoughtful and strategic interactions with stakeholders, policymakers, and researchers across multiple disciplines will be key to implementing climate adaptation strategies.

Atlas Novus: Kawada Kikuji's Chizu (The Map) and Postwar Japanese Photography

description: This dissertation explores a vital moment in the history of Japanese photography through a sustained monographic analysis of Kawada Kikuji’s 1965 photobook Chizu (The Map). Through this first full-length English-language study on Kawada’s early work, I argue that Chizu is a palimpsest, where Kawada mobilizes both the malleability and medium-specificity of photography to create a temporal atlas of postwar Japan. Chizu is not legible cartography, but instead is an archival universe where the atomic bomb and its victims, Japan’s past military aggressions, and national narratives of ruin and growth are interwoven in a state of temporal confusion and perpetual haunting.
      Chizu is also wedged chronologically and theoretically between two periods in the history of Japanese photography: the early 1950s hegemony of postwar “realism” and the avant-garde project of Provoke in the late 1960s and 1970s. My dissertation intersects a sociopolitical and psychological history of postwar Japan with visual and iconographic analysis, accompanied by comparative frameworks of contemporaneous publications that also dealt with the subjects of the atomic bomb, the Second World War, and the political unrest of the early 1960s. By structuring the dissertation around the three major thematic categories that I have identified within the visual language of the photobook—the “stains” of the Atomic Bomb Dome, the “memorial goods” of the Second World War, and the “signs of the present”—I dissect and contextualize the temporal layering and theoretical stakes at work within Chizu’s complex network of traces.
      Chizu’s enormous significance lies in its refusal to settle on a firm aesthetic or theoretical language of photography, preferring instead to alternatively mobilize and refute indexicality, to put forward a multisensory experience of the photograph, and to cast assumptions about photography’s legibility into deep suspicion. I argue that this is a singular gesture of the period, one born not from individual subjectivity as dogmatic artistic ideology, but instead from an existential state of questioning the foundations of photography's relationship to time, to index, and to legible narrative. Finally, I argue that Chizu stands as an important artistic illumination of the concept of a longue durée violence: In this case, a violence continuously and insidiously enacted on a body of citizenry well before and well after the zero hour event of the atomic bomb.
Shot Noise and the Transmission of Dilute Laughlin Quasiparticles

description: We analyze theoretically a three-terminal geometry in a fractional quantum Hall system - studied in a recent experiment - which allows a dilute beam of Laughlin quasiparticles to be prepared and subsequently scattered by a point contact. Employing a chiral Luttinger liquid description of the nu^{-1} = m integer edge states, we compute the current and noise of the quasiparticle beam after transmission through the point contact at finite temperature and bias voltage. A re-fermionization procedure at m=2 allows the current and noise to be computed non-perturbatively for arbitrary transparency of the point contact. Surprisingly, we find for weak backscattering the zero temperature limit is subtle and singular even at fixed finite bias voltage. In particular, at T=0 the incident charge e/m quasiparticles are either reflected or else Andreev scattered (backscattering a charge (-1 + 1/m)e quasihole and transmitting an electron) - Laughlin quasiparticles are not transmitted in this limit. A direct signature of these Andreev processes should be accessible in a particular cross-correlation noise measurement that we propose.
