description: AASM guidelines are the result of decades of efforts aiming at standardizing sleep scoring procedure, with the final goal of sharing a worldwide common methodology. The guidelines cover several aspects from the technical/digital specifications,e.g., recommended EEG derivations, to detailed sleep scoring rules accordingly to age. Automated sleep scoring systems have always largely exploited the standards as fundamental guidelines. In this context, deep learning has demonstrated better performance compared to classical machine learning. Our present work shows that a deep learning based sleep scoring algorithm may not need to fully exploit the clinical knowledge or to strictly adhere to the AASM guidelines. Specifically, we demonstrate that U-Sleep, a state-of-the-art sleep scoring algorithm, can be strong enough to solve the scoring task even using clinically non-recommended or non-conventional derivations, and with no need to exploit information about the chronological age of the subjects. We finally strengthen a well-known finding that using data from multiple data centers always results in a better performing model compared with training on a single cohort. Indeed, we show that this latter statement is still valid even by increasing the size and the heterogeneity of the single data cohort. In all our experiments we used 28528 polysomnography studies from 13 different clinical studies.

description: The water retention curve (WRC) defines the relationship between matric suction and saturation and is a key function for determining the hydro-mechanical behavior of unsaturated soils. We investigate possible microscopic origins of the water retention behavior of granular soils using both Computed Tomography (CT) experiment and multiphase lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM). We conduct a CT experiment on Hamburg sand to obtain its WRC and then run LBM simulations based on the CT grain skeleton. The multiphase LBM simulations capture the hysteresis and pore-scale behaviors of WRC observed in the CT experiment. Using LBM, we observe that the spatial distribution and morphology of gas clusters varies between drainage and imbibition paths and is the underlying source of the hysteresis. During drainage, gas clusters congregate at the grain surface; the local suction increases when gas clusters enter through small pore openings and decreases when gas clusters enter through large pore openings. Whereas, during imbibition, gas clusters disperse in the liquid; the local suction decreases uniformly. Large pores empty first during drainage and small pores fill first during imbibition. The pore-based WRC shows that an increase in pore size causes a decrease in suction during drainage and imbibition, and an increase in hysteresis.

description: This document aims to provide the AfriConEU consortium with an effective and efficient plan to follow in communicating and disseminating the work and results of the project. A separate document will describe how the exploitation of the results will be achieved (D6.14 and D6.15). The first version of this document includes a detailed dissemination and communication strategy. The upcoming versions (D6.2, D6.3 and D6.4) will update the strategy and report all the implemented dissemination and communication activities, including their effectiveness in reaching the dissemination and communication goals. It is clarified in advance that even though the terms of communication, dissemination and exploitation are sometimes used as synonyms and overlap during the project’s life cycle, they have different meanings and objectives. The above terms in this document are used according to the following definitions:

● Communication can be understood as informing, promoting, and communicating the project’s actions and results to multiple audiences, including the media, the general public, and the project’s stakeholders. Communication takes place from the beginning of the project until the end.

● Dissemination refers to the public disclosure of the project’s results, especially to stakeholders that might use the results in their work. These stakeholders refer to authorities, industry, policymakers, sectors of interest and civil society. Dissemination takes place at any time and as soon as the project has results.

● Exploitation refers to the concrete use of the project’s results for commercial, societal, and political purposes addressed to the industry, including SMEs, authorities, industrial authorities, policymakers, sectors of interest, and civil society. Exploitation takes place towards the end and beyond, as soon as the project has exploitableresults.

This communication and dissemination plan was made at the beginning of the project, in March 2021 (Month 3). Updated versions are expected to be delivered in February 2022 (Month 13), May 2023 (Month 28), and January 2024 (Month 36). The updated versions will integrate a) additions by the work done during the implementation of AfriConEU and b) suggestions after the review by the European Commission. The more the project proceeds, the more specific and complete this document becomes. Hence, this initial plan serves as ageneral guideline for the whole AfriConEU consortium, including the essential elements, such as target audiences, key messages, strategy, channels, tools, activities, actions expected byall partners.It is clarified that this document is dedicated to the project’s external communication. For the project’s internal communication within the Consortium, the deliverable D1.1 Management and Quality Plan can be consulted.
Capture of free-floating planets by stellar systems

description: Evidence of exoplanets with orbits that are misaligned with the spin of the host star may suggest that not all bound planets were born in the protoplanetary disk of their current planetary system. Observations have shown that free-floating Jupiter-mass objects can exceed the number of stars in our galaxy, implying that capture scenarios may not be so rare. To address this issue, we construct a three-dimensional simulation of a three-body scattering between a free-floating planet and a star accompanied by a Jupiter-mass bound planet. We distinguish between three different possible scattering outcomes, where the free-floating planet may get captured after the interaction with the binary, remain unbound, or "kick-out" the bound planet and replace it. The simulation was performed for different masses of the free-floating planets and stars, as well as different impact parameters, inclination angles and approach velocities. The outcome statistics are used to construct an analytical approximation of the cross section for capturing a free-floating planet by fitting their dependence on the tested variables. The analytically approximated cross section is used to predict the capture rate for these kinds of objects, and to estimate that about 1\% of all stars are expected to experience a temporary capture of a free-floating planet during their lifetime. Finally, we propose additional physical processes that may increase the capture statistics and whose contribution should be considered in future simulations.

description: In the last two decades, a nanostructuring paradigm has been successfully applied in a wide range of thermoelectric materials, resulting in significant reduction in thermal conductivity and superior thermoelectric performance. These advances, however, have been accomplished without directly investigating the local thermoelectric properties, even though local electric current can be mapped with high spatial resolution. In fact, there still lacks an effective method that links the macroscopic thermoelectric performance to the local microstructures and properties. Here, we show that local thermal conductivity can be mapped quantitatively with good accuracy, nanometer resolution, and one-to-one correspondence to the microstructure using a three-phase skutterudite as a model system. Scanning thermal microscopy combined with finite element simulations demonstrate close correlation between sample conductivity and probe resistance, enabling us to distinguish thermal conductivities spanning orders of magnitude, yet resolving thermal variation across a phase interface with small contrast. The technique thus provides a powerful tool to correlate local thermal conductivities, microstructures, and macroscopic properties for nanostructured materials in general, and nanostructured thermoelectrics in particular.

description: This is the second in a series of papers where we construct an invariant of a four-dimensional piecewise linear manifold $M$ with a given middle cohomology class $h\in H^2(M,\mathbb C)$. This invariant is the square root of the torsion of unusual chain complex introduced in Part I (arXiv:1605.06498) of our work, multiplied by a correcting factor. Here we find this factor by studying the behavior of our construction under all four-dimensional Pachner moves, and show that it can be represented in a multiplicative form: a product of same-type multipliers over all 2-faces, multiplied by a product of same-type multipliers over all pentachora.

description: Taking advantage of the fact that the flavor of the neutrino in semileptonic $B$ decays $B\to D^{(*)}τν$ is not known, we show how a minimal set of higher-dimensional lepton flavor violating (LFV) operators can explain the $R(D^{(*)})$ anomalies, and as a spin-off, can give rise to the LFV decay of the Higgs boson, $h\toμτ$. We also show how none but the minimal set of operators survive the present data.

description: Wikipedia entity pages are a valuable source of information for direct consumption and for knowledge-base construction, update and maintenance. Facts in these entity pages are typically supported by references. Recent studies show that as much as 20\% of the references are from online news sources. However, many entity pages are incomplete even if relevant information is already available in existing news articles. Even for the already present references, there is often a delay between the news article publication time and the reference time. In this work, we therefore look at Wikipedia through the lens of news and propose a novel news-article suggestion task to improve news coverage in Wikipedia, and reduce the lag of newsworthy references. Our work finds direct application, as a precursor, to Wikipedia page generation and knowledge-base acceleration tasks that rely on relevant and high quality input sources. We propose a two-stage supervised approach for suggesting news articles to entity pages for a given state of Wikipedia. First, we suggest news articles to Wikipedia entities (article-entity placement) relying on a rich set of features which take into account the \emph{salience} and \emph{relative authority} of entities, and the \emph{novelty} of news articles to entity pages. Second, we determine the exact section in the entity page for the input article (article-section placement) guided by class-based section templates. We perform an extensive evaluation of our approach based on ground-truth data that is extracted from external references in Wikipedia. We achieve a high precision value of up to 93\% in the \emph{article-entity} suggestion stage and upto 84\% for the \emph{article-section placement}. Finally, we compare our approach against competitive baselines and show significant improvements.

In this Rapid Communication, we introduce "nodal-link semimetals", which host linked nodal rings in the Brillouin zone. We put forward a general recipe based on the Hopf map for constructing models of nodal-link semimetal. The consequences of nodal ring linking in the Landau levels and Floquet properties are investigated.

description: The high granularity of the CALICE Semi-Digital Hadronic CALorimeter (SDHCAL) provides the capability to reveal the track segments present in hadronic showers. These segments are then used as a tool to probe the behaviour of the active layers in situ, to better reconstruct the energy of these hadronic showers and also to distinguish them from electromagnetic ones. In addition, the comparison of these track segments in data and the simulation helps to discriminate among the different shower models used in the simulation. To extract the track segments in the showers recorded in the SDHCAL, a Hough Transform is used after being adapted to the presence of the dense core of the hadronic showers and the SDHCAL active medium structure.

description: In this work we describe a general method for obtaining degenerate solutions to the Dirac equation, corresponding to an infinite number of electromagnetic 4-potentials and fields, which are explicitly calculated. In more detail, using four arbitrary real functions, one can automatically construct a spinor which is solution to the Dirac equation for an infinite number of electromagnetic 4-potentials, defined by those functions. An interesting characteristic of these solutions is that, in the case of Dirac particles with non-zero mass, the degenerate spinors should be localized, both in space and time. Our method is also extended to the cases of massless Dirac and Weyl particles, where the localization of the spinors is no longer required. Finally, we propose two experimental methods for detecting the presence of degenerate states.

Boundary-driven Lindblad dynamics of random quantum spin chains : strong disorder approach for the relaxation, the steady state and the current

description: The Lindblad dynamics of the XX quantum chain with large random fields $h_j$ (the couplings $J_j$ can be either uniform or random) is considered for boundary-magnetization-drivings acting on the two end-spins. Since each boundary-reservoir tends to impose its own magnetization, we first study the relaxation spectrum in the presence of a single reservoir as a function of the system size via some boundary-strong-disorder renormalization approach. The non-equilibrium-steady-state in the presence of two reservoirs can be then analyzed from the effective renormalized Linbladians associated to the two reservoirs. The magnetization is found to follow a step profile, as found previously in other localized chains. The strong disorder approach allows to compute explicitly the location of the step of the magnetization profile and the corresponding magnetization-current for each disordered sample in terms of the random fields and couplings.

Geometric description of modular and weak values in discrete quantum systems using the Majorana representation

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016

description: We express modular and weak values of observables of three- and higher-level quantum systems in their polar form. The Majorana representation of N-level systems in terms of symmetric states of N-1 qubits provides us with a description on the Bloch sphere. With this geometric approach, we find that modular and weak values of observables of N-level quantum systems can be factored in N-1 contributions. Their modulus is determined by the product of N-1 ratios involving projection probabilities between qubits, while their argument is deduced from a sum of N-1 solid angles on the Bloch sphere. These theoretical results allow us to study the geometric origin of the quantum phase discontinuity around singularities of weak values in three-level systems. We also analyze the three-box paradox [1] from the point of view of a bipartite quantum system. In the Majorana representation of this paradox, an observer comes to opposite conclusions about the entanglement state of the particles that were successfully pre- and postselected.

description: Wikipedia, rich in entities and events, is an invaluable resource for various knowledge harvesting, extraction and mining tasks. Numerous resources like DBpedia, YAGO and other knowledge bases are based on extracting entity and event based knowledge from it. Online news, on the other hand, is an authoritative and rich source for emerging entities, events and facts relating to existing entities. In this work, we study the creation of entities in Wikipedia with respect to news by studying how entity and event based information flows from news to Wikipedia. We analyze the lag of Wikipedia (based on the revision history of the English Wikipedia) with 20 years of \emph{The New York Times} dataset (NYT). We model and analyze the lag of entities and events, namely their first appearance in Wikipedia and in NYT, respectively. In our extensive experimental analysis, we find that almost 20\% of the external references in entity pages are news articles encoding the importance of news to Wikipedia. Second, we observe that the entity-based lag follows a normal distribution with a high standard deviation, whereas the lag for news-based events is typically very low. Finally, we find that events are responsible for creation of emergent entities with as many as 12\% of the entities mentioned in the event page are created after the creation of the event page.

description: Speech is the fundamental mode of human communication, and its synthesis has long been a core priority in human-computer interaction research. In recent years, machines have managed to master the art of generating speech that is understandable by humans. But the linguistic content of an utterance encompasses only a part of its meaning. Affect, or expressivity, has the capacity to turn speech into a medium capable of conveying intimate thoughts, feelings, and emotions -- aspects that are essential for engaging and naturalistic interpersonal communication. While the goal of imparting expressivity to synthesised utterances has so far remained elusive, following recent advances in text-to-speech synthesis, a paradigm shift is well under way in the fields of affective speech synthesis and conversion as well. Deep learning, as the technology which underlies most of the recent advances in artificial intelligence, is spearheading these efforts. In the present overview, we outline ongoing trends and summarise state-of-the-art approaches in an attempt to provide a comprehensive overview of this exciting field.

description: We establish a new connection between metric Diophantine approximation and the parametric geometry of numbers by proving a variational principle facilitating the computation of the Hausdorff and packing dimensions of many sets of interest in Diophantine approximation. In particular, we show that the Hausdorff and packing dimensions of the set of singular $m\times n$ matrices are both equal to $mn \big(1-\frac1{m+n}\big)$, thus proving a conjecture of Kadyrov, Kleinbock, Lindenstrauss, and Margulis (preprint 2014) as well as answering a question of Bugeaud, Cheung, and Chevallier (preprint 2016). We introduce the notion of a $template$, which generalizes the notion of a $rigid$ $system$ (Roy, 2015) to the setting of matrix approximation. Our main theorem takes the following form: for any class of templates $\mathcal F$ closed under finite perturbations, the Hausdorff and packing dimensions of the set of matrices whose successive minima functions are members of $\mathcal F$ (up to finite perturbation) can be written as the suprema over $\mathcal F$ of certain natural functions on the space of templates. Besides implying KKLM's conjecture, this theorem has many other applications including computing the Hausdorff and packing dimensions of the set of points witnessing a conjecture of Starkov (2000), and of the set of points witnessing a conjecture of Schmidt (1983).

description: Die vorliegende Studie fokussiert auf Weiterbildungsangebote und Beratungsleistungen für land- und forstwirtschaftliche Betriebe in Österreich im Bereich der Unternehmensführung. Ziel der Studie war es, den Bedarf dafür aus Sicht potenzieller Kunden, also der Landwirtinnen und Landwirte in Österreich, zu erheben und zu quantifizieren. Unterschiede und spezielle Bedürfnisse nach Betriebsgröße, natürlicher Erschwernis sowie Alter und Geschlecht der Betriebsleiter wurden herausgearbeitet. Um die gewünschten Informationen zu erhalten, wurde im Frühling 2015 eine schriftliche Befragung auf der Basis von Telefoninterviews (Computer Assisted Telephone Interviews – CATI) durchgeführt; die Stichprobe für die Auswertung umfasste 380 Fragebögen im gesamten Bundesgebiet. Ergänzend zur quantitativen Analyse wurden fünf Gruppendiskussionen mit Landwirtinnen und Landwirten umgesetzt. Die Studie belegt, dass potenzielle Kunden ein breites Portfolio an Themen der Unternehmensführung und deren Transfer in die Praxis nachfragen. Teilweise unterscheiden sich die Präferenzen signifikant je nach betrieblichen und persönlichen Merkmalen. Betriebsleiter größerer Betriebe bevorzugen Angebote der Betriebswirtschaft, Jüngere fordern mehr Angebote über das Internet. Als ein relativ neues Betätigungsfeld in der Bildungs- und Beratungsarbeit kristallisierte sich das Thema der Kommunikation mit der Gesellschaft heraus, vor allem aus Sicht von Landwirtinnen und Landwirten größerer Betriebe.

description: The aim of the article is to analyze and decode, for the theory and practice of pragmatistic education, the thought of the renowned philosopher and educator – John Dewey, and the American sociologist – Richard Sennett. Among many important concepts and solutions that can be drawn from the legacy of both philosophers, the author distinguishes the issue of routine, understood by each of the philosophers in a different way. John Dewey claims that routine leads to the blockage of human development, whereas Richard Sennett believes that routine has an educational power. These two distinct approaches to routine may be a source of instruction and inspiration for modern pedagogy as a scientific discipline.

description: We test the gauge/gravity duality between the matrix model and type IIA string theory at low temperatures with unprecedented accuracy. To this end, we perform lattice Monte Carlo simulations of the Berenstein-Maldacena-Nastase (BMN) matrix model, which is the one-parameter deformation of the Banks-Fischler-Shenker-Susskind (BFSS) matrix model, taking both the large $N$ and continuum limits. We leverage the fact that sufficiently small flux parameters in the BMN matrix model have a negligible impact on the energy of the system while stabilizing the flat directions so that simulations at smaller $N$ than in the BFSS matrix model are possible. Hence, we can perform a precision measurement of the large $N$ continuum energy at the lowest temperatures to date. The energy is in perfect agreement with supergravity predictions including estimations of $α'$-corrections from previous simulations. At the lowest temperature where we can simulate efficiently ($T=0.25λ^{1/3}$, where $λ$ is the 't Hooft coupling), the difference in energy to the pure supergravity prediction is less than $10\%$. Furthermore, we can extract the coefficient of the $1/N^4$ corrections at a fixed temperature with good accuracy, which was previously unknown.

description: The creation of well understood structures using spectral hole burning is an important task in the use of technologies based on rare earth ion doped crystals. We apply a series of different techniques to model and improve the frequency dependent population change in the atomic level structure of Thulium Yttrium Gallium Garnet (Tm:YGG). In particular we demonstrate that at zero applied magnetic field, numerical solutions to frequency dependent three-level rate equations show good agreement with spectral hole burning results. This allows predicting spectral structures given a specific hole burning sequence, the underpinning spectroscopic material properties, and the relevant laser parameters. This enables us to largely eliminate power dependent hole broadening through the use of adiabatic hole-burning pulses. Though this system of rate equations shows good agreement at zero field, the addition of a magnetic field results in unexpected spectral diffusion proportional to the induced Tm ion magnetic dipole moment and average magnetic field strength, which, through the quadratic Zeeman effect, dominates the optical spectrum over long time scales. Our results allow optimization of the preparation process for spectral structures in a large variety of rare earth ion doped materials for quantum memories and other applications.

description: We describe AlphaFold, the protein structure prediction system that was entered by the group A7D in CASP13 Submissions were made by three free-modelling methods which combine the predictions of three neural networks. All three systems were guided by predictions of distances between pairs of residues produced by a neural network. Two systems assembled fragments produced by a generative neural network, one using scores from a network trained to regress GDT_TS. The third system shows that simple gradient descent on a properly constructed potential is able to perform on-par with more expensive traditional search techniques and without requiring domain segmentation. In the CASP13 free-modelling assessors' ranking by summed z-scores, this system scored highest with 68.3 vs 48.2 for the next closest group. (An average GDT_TS of 61.4.) The system produced high-accuracy structures (with GDT_TS scores of 70 or higher) for 11 out of 43 free-modelling domains. Despite not explicitly using template information, the results in the template category were comparable to the best performing template-based methods. This article is protected by copyright.

description: The work describes the methodological evolution and pedagogical reasons that have enabled the implementation, in 2007/2008, of a blogroom to teach computer science in the University of Florence’s College of Medicine. An innovation that decidedly upsets the traditional teaching approach by using free or low cost tools but, more importantly, by making students active in their own education.

description: We study the phase diagram of the two-dimensional repulsive Hubbard model with spin-dependent anisotropic hopping at half-filling. The system develops Ising antiferromagnetic long-range order already at infinitesimal repulsive interaction strength in the ground state. Outside the perturbative regime, unbiased predictions for the critical temperatures of the Ising antiferromagnet are made for representative interaction values by a variety of state-of-the-art quantum Monte Carlo methods, including the diagrammatic Monte Carlo, continuous-time determinantal Monte Carlo and path-integral Monte Carlo methods. Our findings are relevant to ultracold atom experiments in the p-orbital or with spin-dependent optical lattices.

Dynamic d-symmetry Bose condensate of a planar-large-bipolaron-liquid in cuprate superconductors

description: Planar large-bipolarons can form if the ratio of the surrounding mediums static to high-frequency dielectric constants is especially large. A large-bipolaron in p-doped La2CuO4 is modeled as two electrons being removed from the out-of-plane orbitals of four oxygen ions circumscribed by four copper ions of a CuO2 layer. These oxygen dianions relax inwardly as they donate electrons to the surrounding outwardly relaxing copper cations. This charge transfer generates the strong in-plane electron-lattice interaction needed to stabilize a large-bipolaron with respect to decomposing into polarons. The lowest-energy radial in-plane optic vibration of a large-bipolarons four core oxygen ions with their associated electronic charges has d-symmetry. Electronic relaxation in response to multiple large-bipolarons atomic vibrations lowers their frequencies to generate a phonon-mediated attraction among them which fosters their condensation into a liquid. This liquid features distinctive transport and optical properties. A large-bipolaron liquids superconductivity can result when it undergoes a Bose condensation yielding macroscopic occupation of its ground-state. The synchronized vibrations of large-bipolarons core-oxygen ions with their electronic charges generate this Bose condensates dynamic global d-symmetry.

Open-system spin transport and operator weight dissipation in spin chains

description: We use non-equilibrium steady states to study the effect of dissipation-assisted operator evolution (DAOE) on the scaling behavior of transport in one-dimensional spin chains. We consider three models in the XXZ family: the XXZ model with staggered anisotropy, which is chaotic; XXZ model with no external field and tunable interaction, which is Bethe ansatz integrable and (in the zero interaction limit) free fermion integrable; and the disordered XY model, which is free-fermion integrable and Anderson localized. We find evidence that DAOE's effect on transport is controlled by its effect on the system's conserved quantities. To the extent that DAOE preserves those symmetries, it preserves the scaling of the system's transport properties; to the extent it breaks those conserved quantities, it pushes the system towards diffusive scaling of transport.

Generalised model-independent characterisation of strong gravitational lenses I: Theoretical foundations
Creators: name: Wagner, Jenny
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics (astro-ph.CO)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We extend the model-independent approach to characterise strong gravitational lenses of Wagner & Bartelmann (2016) to its most general form to leading order by using the orientation angles of a set of multiple images with respect to their connection line(s) in addition to the relative distances between the images, their ellipticities and time-delays. For two symmetric images that straddle the critical curve, the orientation angle additionally allows to determine the slope of the critical curve and a second (reduced) flexion coefficient at the critical point on the connection line between the images. It also allows to drop the symmetry assumption that the axis of largest image extension is orthogonal to the critical curve. For three images almost forming a giant arc, the degree of assumed image symmetry is also reduced to the most general case, allowing to describe image configurations for which the source need not be placed on the symmetry axis of the two folds that unite at the cusp. For a given set of multiple images, we set limits on the applicability of our approach, show which information can be obtained in cases of merging images, and analyse the accuracy achievable due to the Taylor expansion of the lensing potential for the fold case on a galaxy cluster scale NFW-profile, a fold and cusp case on a galaxy cluster scale SIE-profile, and compare the generalised approach with the one of Wagner & Bartelmann (2016). The position of the critical points is reconstructed with less than 5" deviation for multiple images closer to the critical points than 30\% of the (effective) Einstein radius and the slope of the critical curve at a fold and its shape in the vicinity of a cusp deviate less than 20\% from the true values for distances of the images to the critical points less than 15\% of the (effective) Einstein radius.

Interference-Managed Local Service Insertion for 5G Broadcast

description: Broadcast of localized TV content enables tailored content delivery catering to the requirements of regional user base. 5G multicast-broadcast service (MBS) requires a spectrally efficient broadcast solution that enables the change of content from one local service area (LSA) to another. A frequency reuse factor of unity between two adjacent LSAs causes their boundary region to become saturated with co-channel interference (CCI). Increasing the reuse factor will reduce the CCI at the cost of degrading the spectral efficiency. This paper addresses the frequency and transmit power planning which manages the CCI at the LSA boundary to achieve a satisfactory trade-off between spectral efficiency and broadcast coverage.

Is the Harrison-Zel'dovich spectrum coming back? ACT preference for $n_s \sim 1$ and its discordance with Planck

description: The Data Release 4 of the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) shows an agreement with an Harrison-Zel'dovich primordial spectrum ($n_s=1.009 \pm 0.015$), introducing a tension with a significance of $99.3\%$ CL with the results from the Planck satellite. The discrepancy on the value of the scalar spectral index is neither alleviated with the addition of large scale structure information nor with the low multipole polarization data. We discuss possible avenues to alleviate the tension relying on either neglecting polarization measurements from ACT or in extending different sectors of the theory.
