Homotopy and duality in non-Abelian lattice gauge theory
Creators: name: Attal, Romain
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We propose an approach of lattice gauge theory based on a homotopic interpretation of its degrees of freedom. The basic idea is to dress the plaquettes of the lattice to view them as elementary homotopies between nearby paths. Instead of using a unique $G$-valued field to discretize the connection 1-form, $A$, we use an $\AG$-valued field $U$ on the edges, which plays the role of the 1-form $\ad_A$, and a $G$-valued field $V$ on the plaquettes, which corresponds to the Faraday tensor, $F$. The 1-connection, $U$, and the 2-connection, $V$, are then supposed to have a 2-curvature which vanishes. This constraint determines $V$ as a function of $U$ up to a phase in $Z(G)$, the center of $G$. The 3-curvature around a cube is then Abelian and is interpreted as the magnetic charge contained inside this cube. Promoting the plaquettes to elementary homotopies induces a chiral splitting of their usual Boltzmann weight, $w=v\bar{v}$, defined with the Wilson action. We compute the Fourier transform, $\hat{v}$, of this chiral Boltzmann weight on $G=SU_3$ and we obtain a finite sum of generalized hypergeometric functions. The dual model describes the dynamics of three spin fields : $λ_P\in{\hat{G}}$ and $m_P\in{\hat{Z(G)}}\simeq\Z_3$, on each oriented plaquette $P$, and $ε_{ab}\in{\hat{\OG}}\simeq\Z_2$, on each oriented edge $(ab)$. Finally, we sketch a geometric interpretation of this spin system in a fibered category modeled on the category of representations of $G$.

description: Abstract

The study aimed to identify some of the injuries that handball players are exposed to (shoulder joint injuries) as well as trying to improve the performance of handball players, by providing some basic information within the framework of the player's health that he needs throughout his sports career, as well as focusing on strengthening the muscles of the shoulder joint ligaments by focusing on sports training based on scientific foundations, without forgetting to focus on physical preparation and good warm-up to avoid injuries. Given the importance of the topic that we are studying, which is: shoulder joint injuries and their impact on the performance of handball players, we had to study the phenomenon as it is, treat it, diagnose it and list it for reading, using the "descriptive-analytical" approach to clarify concepts and terms, analyze variables and provide the results reached based on the questionnaire. In our field study that we conducted in the state of Bouira, we used the questionnaire because it helps to collect new information derived directly from the source, as the questionnaire included several questions and each group of questions serves a specific axis related to the topic and each axis serves a specific hypothesis.

description: Este trabalho apresenta uma síntese teórica sobre a credibilidade e consistência da política monetária, buscando estimar os custos da tentativa de manter a credibilidade dessa no governo Lula, em termos de variações na taxa de desemprego. Para isso, usou-se a Lei de Okun e estimativas da taxa de desemprego não aceleradora da inflação (TDNAI). A partir da TDNAI estimada foi simulado um cenário alternativo de acordo com as metas inflacionárias estabelecidas pelas autoridades monetárias brasileiras para 2005. Dos resultados estimados foi possível concluir que a meta da inflação para 2005, estabelecida pelo Banco Central em 4,5%, não será cumprida e que a política monetária no Brasil tem baixa credibilidade, revertida em custos elevados em termos de desemprego – cerca de 0,85 pontos percentuais de desemprego para cada 1 ponto percentual de redução da inflação, conforme taxa de sacrifício estimada.

 Tiphysa Mulsant, 1850:517; Crotch, 1874:210; Korschefsky, 1931:208; Blackwelder, 1945:449; Gordon, 1987:26; Duverger, 1989:146; Millèo and Almeida, 2003:274; Milléo and Almeida, 2007:423.
 Type species: Tiphysa plumbea Mulsant, 1850, by monotypy.
 Description: Brachiacanthini with form oval, convex. Dorsal surface of pronotum and elytra entirely black with metallic blue or green tint (Fig. 655). Head partly yellow in male, brown or black in female. Antenna with 11 articles, basal article twice as long as wide, antennal insertion exposed. Clypeus with apical border emarginate. Labrum rectangular. Apical maxillary palpomere securiform with sides diverging (Fig. 657). Mandible large, robust, with apical tooth and subapical tooth. Scutellum small, longer than wide. Elytral epipleuron narrow, deeply excavated for reception of tibiae, strongly descending externally. Prosternal process slightly convex, with two carinae. Protibia short, with large, arcuate flange smooth on outer margin (Fig 656). Abdomen without visible gland pores between ventrites 4 and 5. Tarsal claw with subquadrate basal tooth. Postcoxal line on basal abdominal sternite incomplete, of Scymnus (Scymnus) type. Male genitalia with basal lobe asymmetrical (Fig. 658, 659). Female genitalia typical Brachiacanthini type.
 Remarks: Tiphysa was reviewed and correctly assigned to Brachiacanthini by Milléo & Almeida (2003). That publication should be referred to for detailed illustrations of morphological characters.
 Tiphysa is not strongly distinguished from Cyrea, they both lack abdominal gland openings between abdominal ventrites 4-5, but Tiphysa has epipleurae strongly descending externally, a black, dorsal surface with a metallic luster, and strongly flanged protibia. Nearly all members of Cyrea lack a well-defined protibial flange, the epipleurae do not have a strongly descending external margin, and no known species has an entirely black, metallic dorsum.
 Type specimens of Tiphysa ega e and two unlabeled specimens of T. plumbea in the Crotch collection are the only Tiphysa found among many Brachiacanthini taxa examined. Tiphysa plumbea, the type species, was described from Cayenne (French Guiana), and T. egae from Brazil (Amazonas). Mulsant (1850) stated that his type (s) were in the Dejean collection, now deposited in the MNHL, but no specimens remain there.

description: Recent gamma-ray and anti-proton analyses suggest that dark matter with mass $m=48-67$ GeV annihilating via $b\bar{b}$ channel can explain the Galactic center GeV gamma-ray excess and the anti-proton excess as measured by AMS-02 simultaneously. In this article, by differentiating the contributions of dark matter annihilation and normal diffuse cosmic rays, we show that dark matter with mass $m=40-50$ GeV annihilating via $b\bar{b}$ channel with the thermal relic annihilation cross section can best explain the radio continuum spectrum of the central radio halo of the Ophiuchus cluster. This mass range, annihilation cross section, and the annihilation channel is completely consistent with the dark matter interpretations of the GeV gamma-ray excess and the anti-proton excess.

description: We review the state of the art regarding the computation of the resistance coefficients in conditions typical of the stellar plasma, and compare the various results studying their effect on the solar model. We introduce and discuss for the first time in an astrophysical context the effect of quantum corrections to the evaluation of the resistance coefficients, and provide simple yet accurate fitting formulae for their computation. Although the inclusion of quantum corrections only weakly modifies the solar model, their effect is growing with density, and thus might be of relevance in case of denser objects like, e.g., white dwarfs.

description: The J/psi yield at midrapidity at the top RHIC (relativistic heavy ion collider) energy is calculated within the statistical coalescence model, which assumes charmonium formation at the late stage of the reaction from the charm quarks and antiquarks created earlier in hard parton collisions. The results are compared to the new PHENIX data and to predictions of the standard models, which assume formation of charmonia exclusively at the initial stage of the reaction and their subsequent suppression. Two versions of the suppression scenario are considered. One of them assumes gradual charmonium suppression by comovers, while the other one supposes that the suppression sets in abruptly due to quark-gluon plasma formation. Surprisingly, both versions give very similar results. In contrast, the statistical coalescence model predicts a few times larger $J/ψ$ yield in the most central collisions.

description: Vector Symbolic Architectures combine a high-dimensional vector space with a set of carefully designed operators in order to perform symbolic computations with large numerical vectors. Major goals are the exploitation of their representational power and ability to deal with fuzziness and ambiguity. Over the past years, several VSA implementations have been proposed. The available implementations differ in the underlying vector space and the particular implementations of the VSA operators. This paper provides an overview of eleven available VSA implementations and discusses their commonalities and differences in the underlying vector space and operators. We create a taxonomy of available binding operations and show an important ramification for non self-inverse binding operations using an example from analogical reasoning. A main contribution is the experimental comparison of the available implementations in order to evaluate (1) the capacity of bundles, (2) the approximation quality of non-exact unbinding operations, (3) the influence of combining binding and bundling operations on the query answering performance, and (4) the performance on two example applications: visual place- and language-recognition. We expect this comparison and systematization to be relevant for development of VSAs, and to support the selection of an appropriate VSA for a particular task. The implementations are available.

description: Climate change, a consequence of excess greenhouse gas emissions (GGE) into the atmosphere, may seriously disrupt the world economy in future decades. In a 2006 report, the results of which have been widely publicised, economist Nicholas Stern considered that in the absence of coordinated intervention by the international community, the average temperature could rise more than 3°C by the end of the century, which would cost the planet’s inhabitants the equivalent of 5% of gross world product each year (Stern, 2007). We study and compare two types of tools at the disposal of the public authorities to encourage a reduction in carbon emissions: a carbon tax and subsidies for “green” research and development (R&D). We show that the two policies are not antagonistic but in fact complementary, with each reinforcing the role of the other in the correction of the externality justifying its implementation.

description: Using pesticides in agriculture and introducing varieties that are resistant to some pests and diseases (insects, fungus, virus and bacteria) exerts selection pressure on the populations of those pests and diseases. In the course of time, the efficiency of this technology may decrease if resistances (to pesticides or resistant varieties) develop. Therefore, the sustainability of pesticides and resistant varieties is largely dependent on their use. The more systemic and intensive the use of the technology, the higher the selective pressure, the quicker the selection of the resistance gene in the population and the faster the technology becomes obsolete. Sustainable management of resistance requires parsimonious use of the preventive means, which is not necessarily compatible with the users’ economic interests in the short run. From an economic point of view, the sensitivity of pests or diseases to pesticides or varietal resistances is a natural resource. Sustainable resistance-management strategies aim to extract it in an optimal way in the course of time, that is to say to delay the adaptation of these pest or disease populations1. In order to control the development of resistance to pesticides, the “regulator” has various environmental policy tools. Our study helps to understand the determinants in the arbitration between two of these tools: compulsory refuge areas and a tax on pesticides or seeds of resistant varieties. A spatially and temporally explicit bio-economic model was used to compare the performance of the two tools according to various assumptions on pest mobility. This analysis followed on from a previous pluri-disciplinary exercise of bio-economic simulations on the example of European Corn Borers (Vacher et al., 2007).
The formation region of emitted $α$ and heavier particles inside radioactive nuclei

description: We investigate the formation distance ($R_0$) from the center of the radioactive parent nucleus at which the emitted cluster is most probably formed. The calculations are microscopically performed starting from solving the time-independent Schrödinger wave equation for the $α$-core system, using nuclear potential based on the Skyrme-SLy4 nucleon-nucleon interaction and folding Coulomb potential, to determine the incident and transmitted wave functions of the system. Our results advocate that the emitted cluster is mostly formed in the pre-surface region of the nucleus, under the effect of Pauli blocking from the saturated core density. The deeper $α$-formation distance inside the nucleus gives rise to less preformation probability, and indicates more stable nucleus of longer half-life. Also, the $α$-particle tends to be formed at a bit deeper region inside the nuclei having larger isospin asymmetry and in the closed shell nuclei. Regarding the emitted nuclei heavier than $α$-particle, we find that the formation distance of the emitted clusters heavier than $α$-particle increases with increasing the isospin asymmetry of the formed cluster, rather than with increasing its mass number. The partial half-life of a certain cluster-decay mode increases upon increasing either the mass number or the isospin asymmetry of the emitted cluster.

description: The gravitational interactions of elementary particles are suppressed by the Planck scale M_P ~ 10^18 GeV and are typically expected to be far too weak to be probed by experiments. We show that, contrary to conventional wisdom, such interactions may be studied by particle physics experiments in the next few years. As an example, we consider conventional supergravity with a stable gravitino as the lightest supersymmetric particle. The next-lightest supersymmetric particle (NLSP) decays to the gravitino through gravitational interactions after about a year. This lifetime can be measured by stopping NLSPs at colliders and observing their decays. Such studies will yield a measurement of Newton's gravitational constant on unprecedentedly small scales, shed light on dark matter, and provide a window on the early universe.

description: In 2008, on the occasion of the “Grenelle de l’Environnement” Conference, France set itself the objective of reducing pesticide use by half within ten years. In order to answer the question of the authorities as to the feasibility of reducing pesticide use in French agriculture and reaching the target fixed by the “Grenelle de l’Environnement”, the INRA and the Ministries for Agriculture and Ecology launched the ECOPHYTO R&D project. We show here the results of research carried out within that study. A significant reduction in pesticide use requires major changes in farming practices. In order to analyse the impacts of such changes in the French arable crop sector, which represents 68% of pesticide use in France, a mathematical programming model was made. It studies the combinations of farming techniques which could achieve various levels of reduction in pesticide use and assesses the impact these changes could have on farm income and production. The results show that a 30% reduction in pesticide use could be achieved by changing the techniques used and without any major fall in production or margin (at 2006 prices). However, the 50% objective would lead to much greater falls in production and would require growth in the use of systems that are currently little used, such as integrated production and organic farming.

description: Food and the environment are at the heart of sustainable development. However, the results of experimental work carried out by researchers from the INRA-SAE2 Department on consumer perceptions and willingness-to-pay for products respecting some of the criteria of sustainable development, show that information transmission to consumers via labels is imperfect. In order to promote sustainable development practices, we show that use of other tools, such as taxes and quality standards, could be conceivable.

description: To investigate the importance of three-nucleon forces (3NF) systematically over a broad range of intermediate energies, the differential cross sections of elastic proton-deuteron scattering have been measured at proton bombarding energies of 108, 120, 135, 150, 170 and 190 MeV at center-of-mass angles between $30^\circ$ and $170^\circ$. Comparisons with Faddeev calculations show unambiguously the shortcomings of calculations employing only two-body forces and the necessity of including 3NF. They also show the limitations of the latest few-nucleon calculations at backward angles, especially at higher beam energies. Some of these discrepancies could be partially due to relativistic effects. Data at lowest energy are also compared with a recent calculation based on \chipt.

description: In this paper, we introduce a modified epidemic model on regular and scale-free networks respectively. We consider the birth rate $δ$, cure rate $γ$, infection rate $λ$, $α$ from the infectious disease, and death rate $β$ from other factors. Through mean-field analysis, we find that on regular network there is an epidemic threshold $λ_{c}$ dependent on the parameters $δ$, $γ$, $α$, and $β$; while for power law degree distribution network epidemic threshold is absent in the thermodynamic limit. The result is the same as that of the standard SIS model. This reminds us the structure of the networks plays a very important role in the spreading property of the infectious disease.

 We examined a single male specimen of this species collected in Ecuador. It agreed in most aspects with the description and illustrations presented in Adams (1970) and Machado and Rafael (2010). The distinctive wing maculation, and configuration of the gonocoxites and internal genital armature matched those described by Adams. The specimen we examined differed in having the tip of gonocoxite entire rather than serrate as in N. phantomellus. The type material described by Adams (1970) was collected from the Rio Caragualà, Brazil. The specimen we examined from Ecuador was from some 3,000 km to the northwest of the type locality. This collection suggests that N. phantomellus has a more widespread distribution in South America than previously reported, or the specimen from Ecuador represents an undescribed and closely related species. Until additional material becomes available we are considering this species to be N. phantomellus. Nallachius loxanus Navás, a member of the americanus species group, is the only other dilarid species known from Ecuador.

description: The EPOS SP Risk Register has been delivered (D1.2 Risk Register) at M3, April 2020.

D1.5 “Final report on KPIs and risks monitoring to internal boards" (M30) is an update of D.1.4 "First report on KPIs and risks monitoring to internal boards" (M12) that has been delivered on January 2021 (M12). In particular, the update concerns the status of the EPOS SP risks and KPIs at M30, assessed after the M19-27

interim report.

The report has been drafted by the EPOS ERIC Executive Coordination Office (ECO) with the contribution of the WP Leaders. D1.5 is planned in the framework of the WP1 “Project Management”, Task 1.3 "Risk Management and project impact assessment” focusing on ensuring an adequate quality control mechanism to manage the project impact and risks.

During the project’s lifetime, periodic assessments of the state of the play of the project's key performance indicators (KPIs) and risks have been performed within each WPs and at Executive Board (EB) level. Corrective actions have been defined when the performance, quality, or effectiveness of the activities executed were not achieved. Risk mitigation and contingency measures were planned to be implemented if needed. The final report on KPIs and risks monitoring to internal boards aims to support the EPOS SP Boards namely, the Executive Board, the Project Council, and the Advisory Board, to guarantee the effective management of KPIs and risks and propose timely corrective actions for the effective implementation and prosecution of the project.

In the single impurity limit, the repulsive Coulomb potential of an acceptor atom and intervalley scattering lead to a twofold orbitally degenerate effective-mass like $e'$ state being formed from Mo $d_{x^2-y^2}$ and $d_{xy}$ states, bound to the K and K$'$ valence band maxima. It also leads to a singly degenerate $a'_1$ state with Mo $d_{3z^2-r^2}$ character bound to the slightly lower lying valence band maximum at $Γ$. Within the accuracy of our calculations, these $e'$ and $a'_1$ states are degenerate for MoS$_2$ and accommodate the hole that polarizes fully in the local spin density approximation in the impurity limit. With spin-orbit coupling included, we find a single ion magnetic anisotropy of $\sim 5\,$meV favouring out-of-plane orientation of the magnetic moment. Pairs of such hole states introduced by V, Nb or Ta doping are found to couple ferromagnetically unless the dopant atoms are too close in which case the magnetic moments are quenched by the formation of spin singlets. Combining these exchange interactions with Monte Carlo calculations allows us to estimate ordering temperatures as a function of the dopant concentration $x$. For $x \sim 9\%$, Curie temperatures as high as 100K for Nb and Ta and in excess of 160K for V doping are predicted. Factors limiting the ordering temperature are identified and suggestions made to circumvent these limitations.

description: This study is the result of several collective and individual research works on the connections between law, agriculture and the environment. Real but seldom highlighted, the impact of legal rules on determining farming practices shows an instrumentalised law which has gradually opened up to take into account the diversity and complexity, the interests and stakes in the implementation of sustainable agriculture models. We propose a number of factors for understanding the role of European and French law in the development of contemporary agriculture. Initially, the law was undoubtedly a tool that served the conventional technical and economic model. Then, when the context changed, its less obvious role was (and, above all, will be) to favour the implementation of sustainable farming practices.

description: Technological innovations in the agri-food sector raise the issue of their acceptability by consumers and their market entry in Europe. Recent research on perceptions of nanotechnology in food enables to understand and anticipate potential consumer reactions before the introduction of new products. One survey highlights indifference among German and French consumers as regards nanotechnologies, as well as a form of pessimism towards these products. An experimental economics study carried out in a laboratory shows a mistrustful attitude from French and German consumers and a low acceptance for nano-food or food nano-packaging. In the present state of knowledge and taking into account consumer attitudes towards this technology, possibilities for developing nano-products in the agri-food sector currently appear to be limited.

description: We demonstrate the interaction between surface acoustic waves and Dirac electrons in monolayer graphene at low temperatures and high magnetic fields. A metallic interdigitated transducer launches surface waves that propagate through a conventional piezoelectric GaAs substrate and couple to large-scale monolayer CVD graphene films resting on its surface. Based on the induced acousto-electric current, we characterize the frequency domains of the transducer from its first to the third harmonic. We find an oscillatory attenuation of the SAW velocity depending on the conductivity of the graphene layer. The acousto-electric current reveals additional fine structure that is absent in pure magnetotransport. In addition we find a shift between the acousto-electric longitudinal voltage and the velocity change of the SAW. We attribute this shift to the periodic strain field from the propagating SAW that slightly modifies the Dirac cone.

description: Recently, crowd counting is a hot topic in crowd analysis. Many CNN-based counting algorithms attain good performance. However, these methods only focus on the local appearance features of crowd scenes but ignore the large-range pixel-wise contextual and crowd attention information. To remedy the above problems, in this paper, we introduce the Spatial-/Channel-wise Attention Models into the traditional Regression CNN to estimate the density map, which is named as "SCAR". It consists of two modules, namely Spatial-wise Attention Model (SAM) and Channel-wise Attention Model (CAM). The former can encode the pixel-wise context of the entire image to more accurately predict density maps at the pixel level. The latter attempts to extract more discriminative features among different channels, which aids model to pay attention to the head region, the core of crowd scenes. Intuitively, CAM alleviates the mistaken estimation for background regions. Finally, two types of attention information and traditional CNN's feature maps are integrated by a concatenation operation. Furthermore, the extensive experiments are conducted on four popular datasets, Shanghai Tech Part A/B, GCC, and UCF_CC_50 Dataset. The results show that the proposed method achieves state-of-the-art results.

description: This paper studies the welfare impact of alternative scenarios of trade protectionism and liberalization in Argentina. The impact of the different trade policies is assessed in two different ways. We first use the multi-sectoral and multi-regional computable general equilibrium MIRAGE model to assess the effects of trade policy on GDP, exports, imports, terms of trade, real wages, and welfare. The second approach is to follow the trade and poverty literature and use the price and factor remuneration changes from each simulation to feed them into household survey data and assess the welfare effect on Argentine households. The simulations show that an increase in protectionism in a unilateral way has only short term benefits while the long run effects are negative. On the other hand liberalization scenarios tend to have short term negative effects.

description: The sharp magnetic discontinuities which naturally appear in solar magnetic flux tubes driven by turbulent photospheric motions are associated with intense currents. \citet{Par83} proposed that these currents can become unstable to a variety of microscopic processes, with the net result of dramatically enhanced resistivity and heating (nanoflares). The electric fields associated with such ``hot spots'' are also expected to enhance particle acceleration. We test this hypothesis by exact relativistic orbit simulations in strong random phase magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence which is forming localized super-Dreicer Ohm electric fields ($E_Ω/E_D$ = $10^2 ... 10^5$) occurring in 2..15 % of the volume. It is found that these fields indeed yield a large amplification of acceleration of electrons and ions, and can effectively overcome the injection problem. We suggest in this article that nanoflare heating will be associated with sporadic particle acceleration.

Microscopic Calculation of the Dielectric Susceptibility Tensor for Coulomb Fluids II

description: For a Coulomb system contained in a domain Λ, the dielectric susceptibility tensor χ_Λ is defined as relating the average polarization in the system to a constant applied electric field, in the linear limit. According to the phenomenological laws of macroscopic electrostatics, χ_Λ depends on the specific shape of the domain Λ. In this paper we derive, using the methods of equilibrium statistical mechanics in both canonical and grand-canonical ensembles, the shape dependence of χ_Λ and the corresponding finite-size corrections to the thermodynamic limit, for a class of general ν-dimensional (ν\ge 2) Coulomb systems, of ellipsoidal shape, being in the conducting state. The microscopic derivation is based on a general principle: the total force acting on a system in thermal equilibrium is zero. The results are checked in the Debye-Hückel limit. The paper is a generalization of a previous one [L. Šamaj, J. Stat. Phys. 100:949 (2000)], dealing with the special case of a one-component plasma in two dimensions. In that case, the validity of the presented formalism has already been verified at the exactly solvable (dimensionless) coupling Γ= 2.
