description: We investigate a model of large extra dimensions where the internal space has the geometry of a hyperbolic disc. Compared with the ADD model, this model provides a more satisfactory solution to the hierarchy problem between the electroweak scale and the Planck scale, and it also avoids constraints from astrophysics. In general, a novel feature of this model is that the physical results depend on the position of the brane in the internal space, and in particular, the signal almost disappears completely if the brane is positioned at the center of the disc. Since there is no known analytic form of the Kaluza-Klein spectrum for our choice of geometry, we obtain a spectrum based on a combination of approximations and numerical computations. We study the possible signatures of our model for hadron colliders, especially the LHC, where the most important processes are the production of a graviton together with a hadronic jet or a photon. We find that the signals are similar to those of the ADD model, regarding both qualitative behavior and strength. For the case of hadronic jet production, it is possible to obtain relatively strong signals, while for the case of photon production, this is much more difficult.

Generation and Gender Survey

description: This study investigates the relationships between family composition measures (i.e. parental separation and sibship size) and higher education attainment across cohorts, countries, and regions, and by parental education levels contrasting them with intergenerational education attainment. Using the Generation and Gender Survey, with 18 countries, 226 regions, and 107,185 individuals, and employing multilevel fixed-effect models, we explore the variation in the association between family composition measures and higher education attainment, as well as the average association based on parental education levels. The variation in the association between family composition measures and educational attainment is considerably smaller compared to the strength of intergenerational transmission of education both within and between countries and across the cohorts. Changes in parental education level are associated with the changes across generations in the association between the sibship size and educational attainment. The average association between parental divorce and educational attainment is similar across place, generation and family of origin. Country-specific institutions exert a greater influence on intergenerational educational transmission than on the effects of family composition on educational attainment.

description: In this paper we consider an extension of the beta regression model proposed by Ferrari and Cribari-Neto (2004). We extend their model in two different ways, first, we let the regression structure be nonlinear, second, we allow a regression structure for the precision parameter, moreover, this regression structure may also be nonlinear. Generally, the beta regression is useful to situations where the response is restricted to the standard unit interval and the regression structure involves regressors and unknown parameters. We derive general formulae for second-order biases of the maximum likelihood estimators and use them to define bias-corrected estimators. Our formulae generalizes the results obtained by Ospina et al. (2006), and are easily implemented by means of supplementary weighted linear regressions. We also compare these bias-corrected estimators with three different estimators which are also bias-free to the second-order, one analytical and the other two based on bootstrap methods. These estimators are compared by simulation. We present an empirical application.

description: In this paper we study the sensitivity of the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST) project to the determination of cosmological parameters, employing the Monte Carlo Markov Chains (MCMC) method. For comparison, we first analyze the constraints on cosmological parameters from current observational data, including WMAP, SDSS and SN Ia. We then simulate the 3D matter power spectrum data expected from LAMOST, together with the simulated CMB data for PLANCK and the SN Ia from 5-year Supernovae Legacy Survey (SNLS). With the simulated data, we investigate the future improvement on cosmological parameter constraints, emphasizing the role of LAMOST. Our results show the potential of LAMOST in probing for the cosmological parameters, especially in constraining the equation-of-state (EoS) of the dark energy and the neutrino mass.

title: ‘A Dei natura’ : a re-examination of Calvin’s doctrine of the divine attributes with particular reference to his exegetical works
Creators: name: McCray, Alden C.
Publisher: name: University of St Andrews
Year: 2020

description: From at least the middle of the nineteenth century much scholarship on Calvin’s theology has taken the apparent omission of a locus on the divine attributes in his Institutio as evidence that he did not teach a doctrine of God’s essence and attributes, and so instantiated a significant rupture with patristic and medieval theology. Others have claimed that Calvin imported a nominalist or ‘Scotist’ metaphysics of God into Protestantism. This thesis challenges such accounts. Throughout his exegetical works Calvin assumes a classical account of God’s perfections; he regards this account to be both biblically warranted and necessary for metaphysically responsible interpretations of divine revelation. Calvin affirms a series of materially traditional commitments concerning divine attributes in accordance with his own particular theological purposes – chiefly, the scriptural exposition of the nature of God so as to build up trust, hope, and confidence in God as origin, cause, and end of all things. The thesis surveys Calvin’s specific theological, exegetical, and pastoral arguments on a range of incommunicable and communicable perfections, from simplicity and aseity to mercy and grace. It offers a portrait of Calvin as a particular sort of biblical theologian, one for whom divine metaphysics and scriptural exegesis are inseparable modes of Christian reasoning, the conclusions of which are themselves intrinsically generative of Christian piety.

description: Solar campfires are fine-scale heating events, recently observed by Extreme Ultraviolet Imager (EUI), onboard Solar Orbiter. Here we use EUI 174Å images, together with EUV images from SDO/AIA, and line-of-sight magnetograms from SDO/HMI to investigate the magnetic origin of 52 randomly selected campfires in the quiet solar corona. We find that (i) the campfires are rooted at the edges of photospheric magnetic network lanes; (ii) most of the campfires reside above the neutral line between majority-polarity magnetic flux patch and a merging minority-polarity flux patch, with a flux cancelation rate of $\sim$10$^{18}$Mx hr$^{-1}$; (iii) some of the campfires occur repeatedly from the same neutral line; (iv) in the large majority of instances, campfires are preceded by a cool-plasma structure, analogous to minifilaments in coronal jets; and (v) although many campfires have `complex' structure, most campfires resemble small-scale jets, dots, or loops. Thus, `campfire' is a general term that includes different types of small-scale solar dynamic features. They contain sufficient magnetic energy ($\sim$10$^{26}$-10$^{27}$ erg) to heat the solar atmosphere locally to 0.5--2.5MK. Their lifetimes range from about a minute to over an hour, with most of the campfires having a lifetime of $

An adaptive routing strategy for packet delivery in complex networks

description: We present an efficient routing approach for delivering packets in complex networks. On delivering a message from a node to a destination, a node forwards the message to a neighbor by estimating the waiting time along the shortest path from each of its neighbors to the destination. This projected waiting time is dynamical in nature and the path through which a message is delivered would be adapted to the distribution of messages in the network. Implementing the approach on scale-free networks, we show that the present approach performs better than the shortest-path approach and another approach that takes into account of the waiting time only at the neighboring nodes. Key features in numerical results are explained by a mean field theory. The approach has the merit that messages are distributed among the nodes according to the capabilities of the nodes in handling messages.

description: Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), a key reactive oxygen species, plays an important role in living organisms, industrial and environmental fields. Here, a non-contact upconversion nanosystem based on the excitation energy attenuation (EEA) effect and a conventional upconversion nanosystem based on the joint effect of EEA and fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) are designed for the fluorescence sensing of H2O2. We show that the upconversion luminescence (UCL) is quenched by MoO3−x nanosheets (NSs) in both systems due to the strong absorbance of MoO3−x NSs in the visible and near-infrared regions. The recovery in UCL emissions upon addition of H2O2 enables quantitative monitoring of H2O2. Benefiting from the non-contact method, hydrophobic OA-NaYF4:Yb,Er can be used as the luminophore directly and ultrahigh quenching efficiency (99.8%) is obtained. Moreover, the non-contact method exhibits high sensitivity toward H2O2 with a detection limit of 0.63 μM, which is lower than that determined by simple spectrophotometry (0.75 μM) and conventional upconversion-based nanocomposites (9.61 μM). As an added benefit, the same strategy can be applied to the sensing of pH, showing a broad pH-responsive property over a range of 2.6 to 8.2. The successful preparation of different upconversion-based nanosystems for H2O2 sensing using the same material as the quencher provides a new design strategy for fluorescence sensing of other analytes.

description: In this paper we show that Yang-Mills theory in the Curci-Ferrari-Delbourgo-Jarvis gauge admits some up to now unknown local linear Ward identities. These identities imply some non-renormalization theorems with practical simplifications for perturbation theory. We show in particular that all renormalization factors can be extracted from two-point functions. The Ward identities are shown to be related to supergauge transformations in the superfield formalism for Yang-Mills theory. The case of non-zero Curci-Ferrari mass is also addressed.

Embedding Node Structural Role Identity Using Stress Majorization

description: Nodes in networks may have one or more functions that determine their role in the system. As opposed to local proximity, which captures the local context of nodes, the role identity captures the functional "role" that nodes play in a network, such as being the center of a group, or the bridge between two groups. This means that nodes far apart in a network can have similar structural role identities. Several recent works have explored methods for embedding the roles of nodes in networks. However, these methods all rely on either approximating or indirect modeling of structural equivalence. In this paper, we present a novel and flexible framework using stress majorization, to transform the high-dimensional role identities in networks directly (without approximation or indirect modeling) to a low-dimensional embedding space. Our method is also flexible, in that it does not rely on specific structural similarity definitions. We evaluated our method on the tasks of node classification, clustering, and visualization, using three real-world and five synthetic networks. Our experiments show that our framework achieves superior results than existing methods in learning node role representations.

description: We propose and study a model of traffic in communication networks. The underlying network has a structure that is tunable between a scale-free growing network with preferential attachments and a random growing network. To model realistic situations where different nodes in a network may have different capabilities, the message or packet creation and delivering rates at a node are assumed to depend on the degree of the node. Noting that congestions are more likely to take place at the nodes with high degrees in networks with scale-free character, an efficient approach of selectively enhancing the message-processing capability of a small fraction (e.g. 3%) of the nodes is shown to perform just as good as enhancing the capability of all nodes. The interplay between the creation rate and the delivering rate in determining non-congested or congested traffic in a network is studied more numerically and analytically.

description: Different routing strategies may result in different behaviors of traffic on internet. We analyze the correlation of traffic data for three typical routing strategies by the detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA) and find that the degree of correlation of the data can be divided into three regions, i.e., weak, medium, and strong correlation. The DFA scalings are constants in both the regions of weak and strong correlation but monotonously increase in the region of medium correlation. We suggest that it is better to consider the traffic on complex network as three phases, i.e., the free, buffer, and congestion phase, than just as two phases believed before, i.e., the free and congestion phase.

The social organization of case processing by administrative tribunals
Creators: name: Lioy, Michele L.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This study provides an ethnographic analysis of case processing by administrative tribunals. The processing of cases is done to review decisions which already have been made at another level in the administrative system, in order to arrive at a 'new' decision. The analysis is based on data collected through the systematic observation of hearing encounters in three administrative tribunals in the field of social welfare. This study documents the tribunals' practices in arriving at a new decision. It shows how the social organizational features of the hearings and, the legal and procedural constraints which must be taken into consideration, affect the decision of the tribunal members both individually and collectively, and the outcome for the appellants. The fact that the tribunals' task is to arrive at a decision and the possibility that the 'new' decision may be reviewed are other factors which impose constraints on the tribunals' practices. The task of processing cases mainly consists in assessing the story which is jointly produced during the hearing by the appellant and the tribunal members who use the case file in order to obtain background information on the case. The three tribunals examined in this study use different practices to process cases. The lay tribunals use mostly common sense practices which prevent them from rendering consistent decisions especially when the legislation left them discretion. The professional tribunal uses legal practices which ensure more consistency, but do not ensure that the appellant feels that justice has been done. In fact, the issue is raised as to whether social justice is achieved, even when the decisions are legally attained, when cognitive discrepancies between the appellant and the tribunal members are such that there is no mutual intelligibility and the appellant can be processed without understanding what he has contributed to the processing of his own case and how he was processed.

description: A new formulation of relativistic quantum mechanics is presented and applied to a free, massive, and spin zero elementary particle in the Minkowski spacetime. The reformulation requires that time and space, as well as the timelike and spacelike intervals, are treated equally, which makes the new theory fully symmetric and consistent with the Special Theory of Relativity. The theory correctly reproduces the classical action of a relativistic particle in the path integral formalism, and allows for the introduction of a new quantity called vector-mass, whose physical implications for nonlocality, the uncertainty principle, and quantum vacuum are described and discussed.

description: We analyze two pre-supernova (SN) and three post-SN high-resolution images of the site of the Type II-Plateau supernova SN 2006my in an effort to either detect the progenitor star or to constrain its properties. Following image registration, we find that an isolated stellar object is not detected at the location of SN 2006my in either of the two pre-SN images. In the first, an I-band image obtained with the Wide-Field and Planetary Camera 2 on board the Hubble Space Telescope, the offset between the SN 2006my location and a detected source ("Source 1") is too large: > 0.08", which corresponds to a confidence level of non-association of 96% from our most liberal estimates of the transformation and measurement uncertainties. In the second, a similarly obtained V-band image, a source is detected ("Source 2") that has overlap with the SN 2006my location but is definitively an extended object. Through artificial star tests carried out on the precise location of SN 2006my in the images, we derive a 3-sigma upper bound on the luminosity of a red supergiant that could have remained undetected in our pre-SN images of log L/L_Sun = 5.10, which translates to an upper bound on such a star's initial mass of 15 M_Sun from the STARS stellar evolutionary models. Although considered unlikely, we can not rule out the possibility that part of the light comprising Source 1, which exhibits a slight extension relative to other point sources in the image, or part of the light contributing to the extended Source 2, may be due to the progenitor of SN 2006my. Only additional, high-resolution observations of the site taken after SN 2006my has faded beyond detection can confirm or reject these possibilities.

description: This paper proposes a physio-chemically-based constitutive framework to simulate and predict the response of semi-crystalline low-density polyethylene (LDPE) to severe photo-oxidation. Photo-oxidation induced by exposure to Ultra-Violet (UV) light and oxygen is the dominant degradation mechanism affecting the lifespan of LDPE. In this work, we propose evolution functions for the material properties in the constitutive equations of \cite{boyce2000constitutive} to incorporate the effects of photo-oxidation on the mechanical response of LDPE. The evolution functions are based on chemically verified processes that are responsible for material degradation, namely the change in crystallinity and mass loss relative to the initial pristine films over exposure time. Changes in crystallinity and mass loss are characterized by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Quartz Crystal Microbalance with Dissipation Monitoring (QCM-D) experiments, respectively. Connecting the physio-chemical processes affecting polymer network evolution to the mechanical response of LDPE bypasses the need for defining fitting parameters that carry no physical meaning. The developed constitutive framework is validated with respect to a series of in-house uniaxial tensile tests performed on LDPE aged for different UV exposure times. Comparison of the constitutive framework versus experimental mechanical tests also confirms the accuracy of DSC and QCM-D as rigorous techniques to monitor and characterize degradation in LDPE films. The outcome shed light on the evolution of the macromolecular network in LDPE under extreme photo-oxidation and the evolution of the associated mechanical material properties.
Thermoelectric Effect at Quantum Limit in Two-Dimensional Organic Dirac Fermion System with Zeeman Splitting

description: The thermoelectric effect in a two-dimensional (2D) massless Dirac fermion (DF) system at the quantum limit is discussed to verify the prediction of high-performance thermopower in an organic conductor α-(BEDT-TTF)2I3. Because of relatively large Zeeman splitting in α-(BEDT-TTF)2I3, the boundless increase of thermopower at high magnetic fields, predicted without the Zeeman effect, is hardly expected, whereas there appears to be a broad local maximum. This is characteristic of 2D DF systems with Zeeman splitting and is recognized in the previous experiment. In contrast to 3D Dirac/Weyl semimetals with robust gapless features, it might be difficult to realize high-performance thermopower in real 2D DF systems under high magnetic fields.

description: We report the discovery of four new pulsating subdwarf B (sdBV) stars from Campaign 7 of the Kepler spacecraft's K2 mission. EPICs 215776487, 217280630, 218366972, and 218717602 are all gravity (g)-mode pulsators and we also detect two pressure (p)-mode pulsations in EPIC 218717602. We detect asymptotic l=1 sequences in all four stars, allowing us to identify nearly all of the g modes. We detect evenly-spaced frequency multiplets in EPIC 218717602, from which we determine a rotation period near seven days. Spectroscopic observations determine that EPIC 218366972, is in a 5.92d binary with most likely a white dwarf companion of canonical mass while the others have no detected companions. As we detect no multiplets in EPIC 218366972, it is added to the growing list of subsynchronously rotating stars. With 40 Kepler-detected sdBV stars and a growing number of TESS publications, we update an examination of the group properties to provide direction for models. We notice a correlation between effective temperature and period of maximum pulsation amplitude, at least for g-mode pulsations, and update the previously-observed effective temperature-rotation period relation.

description: The energetic cost of creating a defect within a host material is given by the formation energy. Here we present a formulation allowing the calculation of formation energies in one-dimensional nanostructures, which overcomes the difficulties involved in defining the chemical potential of the constituent species and the possible passivation of the surface. We also develop a formula for the Madelung correction for general dielectric tensors and computational cell shapes. We apply this formalism to the formation energies of charged Al impurities in silicon nanowires, obtaining concentrations significantly larger than in their bulk counterparts.

description: AbstractExisting research has shown that the quality of the relationship between teacher and child is associated with more positive perceptions of school authorities. There has been relatively less attention to the processes that connect attitudes towards different sources of authority, such as between teachers and police. The current study uses a counterfactual approach to estimate the direct and indirect effects of teacher–child relationships on children’s later perceptions of police legitimacy. Using data from a longitudinal study of youth in Zurich, Switzerland, this study applies non-bipartite propensity score matching to identify matched pairs (n = 232 pairs, 55% male) of children with better versus worse relationships with their teacher at age 11 following a teacher change. Matched pairs were then compared on potential mediators (moral norms about deviant behavior and low self-control) at age 13 and perceptions of police legitimacy at age 15. The results demonstrate the importance of the quality of the relationships between students and teachers in shaping young people’s interpersonal characteristics as well as perceptions of the world around them. Namely, if young people feel that they are being treated fairly by their teachers, they are more likely to distinguish behaviors that are right or wrong (moral norms) and control their actions (self-control). Moreover, as a result they are also more likely to perceive authorities such as police as legitimate agents that facilitate societal order.

description: We consider the possibility that masses and gravitational potentials of galaxy cluster, estimated at X-ray wavelengths, could be explained without assuming huge amounts of dark matter, but in the context of $f(R)$-gravity. Specifically, we take into account the weak field limit of such theories and show that the corrected gravitational potential allows to estimate the total mass of a sample of 12 clusters of galaxies. Results show that such a gravitational potential provides a fair fit to the mass of visible matter (i.e. gas + stars) estimated by X-ray observations, without the need of additional dark matter while the size of the clusters, as already observed at different scale for galaxies, strictly depends on the interaction lengths of the corrections to the Newtonian potential.

description: The light-matter interaction associated with a two-dimensional (2D) excitonic transition coupled to a zero-dimensional (0D) photonic cavity is fundamentally different from coupling localized excitations in quantum dots or color centers, which have negligible spatial extent compared to the cavity-confined mode profile. By calculating the radiation-matter coupling of the exciton transition of a surface deposited 2D material and a 0D photonic crystal nanobeam mode, we found that there is an optimal spatial extent of the monolayer material that maximizes such an interaction strength due to the competition between minimizing the excitonic envelope function area and maximizing the total integrated field. This is counter to the intuition from the Dicke model, where the oscillator strength is expected to monotonically grow with the number of oscillators, which correlates to the monolayer area assuming the excitonic wavefunction is delocalized over the entire quantum well. We also found that at near zero exciton-cavity detuning, the direct transmission efficiency of a waveguide-integrated cavity can be severely suppressed, which suggests performing experiments by using a side-coupled cavity to get better performances.

description: We report on Mid-infrared (MIR) OCT at 4 $μ$m based on collinear sum-frequency upconversion and promote the A-scan scan rate to 3 kHz. We demonstrate the increased imaging speed for two spectral realizations, one providing an axial resolution of 8.6 $μ$m, and one providing a record axial resolution of 5.8 $μ$m. Image performance is evaluated by sub-surface micro-mapping of a plastic glove and real-time monitoring of CO$_2$ in parallel with OCT imaging.

description: Let $X$ be a smooth algebraic curve. Suppose that there exists a triple covering $f : X \to Y$ where $Y$ is a smooth algebraic curve. In this paper, we investigate the existence of morphisms from $X$ to the projective line $\mathbf{P}^1$ which do not factor through the covering $f$. For this purpose, we generalize the classical results of Maroni concerning base-point-free pencils on trigonal curves to the case of triple covers of arbitrary smooth irrational curves.

description: Die Pracht Dresdens geht auf das 18. Jahrhundert zurück, als die Stadt eine wahre Blütezeit erlebte. Der Kurfürst-König August der Starke und sein Sohn und Nachfolger August III. waren die wichtigsten Förderer der Künste. Ihre Kollektionen prägen die sächsische Museumslandschaft bis heute, besonders die Staatlichen Kunstsammlungen Dresden (SKD). Daneben etablierte sich im 18. Jahrhundert eine beachtliche adlige und bürgerliche Sammlerschicht, die bislang wenig erforscht ist. Mithilfe von zeitgenössischen Quellen wie Stadtbeschreibungen, Nachlassverzeichnissen, Auktionskatalogen und diversen Artikeln in Wochenzeitungen und Zeitschriften konnten im Rahmen des Dissertationsvorhabens der Autorin bereits Spuren von rund 280 solcher, meist bis dato unbekannter Sammlungen aufgefunden werden, etwa von Naturalien, Gemälden, Gemmen, Grafiken, Büchern und Münzen, sogar von Schuhen und Erotika. Eine quellenkundliche Spurensuche – wie es in diesem Beitrag anhand von Bücher-, Karten- und Grafiksammlungen ansatzweise geschildert wird – bringt allgemeine Erkenntnisse zum Sammeln in Dresden, fördert aber auch Neues zu den verschiedenen Sammlercharakteren wie auch zu den einzelnen Beständen und Objekten zutage. In der Dissertation wird eine ganze „Sammlungsstadt“ – und nicht wie bisher nur die großen „Sammlungsleuchttürme“ – in den Blick genommen. In diesem Beitrag soll nun das Vorgehen, eine Sammlungslandschaft zu rekonstruieren, dargestellt werden. Die Spurensuche nach Dresdner Sammlungen des 18. Jahrhunderts und bis heute existierenden Objekten macht einen weiteren Abschnitt des Artikels aus. Zwar wurden die Bestände nach dem Tod des Sammlers häufig durch Auktionen zerstreut und überlebten die Zeitläufte meistens nicht, doch finden sich bei genauer Spurensuche bis heute immer wieder Objekte aus dem ehemaligen Besitz der Dresdner Sammler wieder: etwa in den SKD, der Sächsischen Landesbibliothek – Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Dresden (SLUB), den Senckenberg Naturhistorischen Sammlungen, aber auch in (inter-)nationalen Museen und im Kunsthandel. In das für Museen, Archive und Bibliotheken so wichtige Feld der Provenienzforschung fällt also auch die Spurensuche zu Dresdner Sammlungen des 18. Jahrhunderts. In diesem Beitrag werden dabei verschiedene Provenienzmerkmale und ihre Zuordnung zu Objekten aus dem Besitz früherer Eigentümer der Residenzstadt vorgestellt.
Consociationalism and coalition politics in Malaysia
Creators: name: Mauzy, Diane K.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: In this thesis I have examined the "consociational" arrangements used by the political elites in Malaysia, namely the elite transactions and bargaining which occurred in the original Alliance Party system, and especially the refashioning of the formula towards a grand coalition strategy after the May 13, 1969 riots. Primary emphasis has been given to the 1969-1975 period and the leadership of Tun Abdul Razak. Theoretically, the basic approach used is a version of the consociational democracy model of Arend Lijphart. However, I have also made use of the literature on political modernization and coalition theory, especially on larger-than-minimal political coalitions. Empirically, the research is based on interviews in Malaysia in 1974-1975, Malaysian and Singapore newspapers, translations of the vernacular Press, government and party literature, election manifestos, and articles and books related to the subject. The general question posed is: how does a country like Malaysia, with salient reinforcing ethnic cleavages dividing the two nearly-numerically balanced groups, the Malays and the non-Malays, maintain political stability and avoid ethnic violence? In answer, it is maintained that, conceptually, consociationalism can be separated from the condition of "democracy", and that a version of it can operate where there is not a balance of power among the segments. The Alliance practiced one form of consociationalism which followed quite closely the requirements of Lijphart's model, while the National Front practices another form of consociationalism, which deviates from Lijphart's model in being less democratic and more unbalanced, but is still consociational. It is argued that, in a country like Malaysia, the chances of successfully maintaining political stability and avoiding ethnic confrontation are improved when elite consociational practices are used in conjunction with political controls restricting political competition.

description: The accurate determination of magnetic phase transitions in electronic systems is an important task of solid state theory. While numerically exact results are readily available for model systems such as the half-filled 3D Hubbard model, the complexity of real materials requires additional approximations, such as the restriction to certain classes of diagrams in perturbation theory, that reduce the precision with which magnetic properties are described. In this work, we examine the description of magnetic properties in second order perturbation theory, GW, FLEX, and two TMatrix approximations to numerically exact CT-QMC reference data. We assess finite-size effects and compare periodic lattice simulations to cluster embedding. We find that embedding substantially improves finite size convergence. However, by analyzing different partial summation methods we find no systematic improvement in the description of magnetic properties, with most methods considered in this work predicting first-order instead of continuous transitions, leading us to the conclusion that non-perturbative methods are necessary for the accurate determination of magnetic properties and phase transitions.

description: In diesem Beitrag werden absichtliche und unwillkürliche Hinterlassenschaften an historischen Modellen von Bauwerken und technischen Anlagen vorgestellt und analysiert. Es geht dabei um Provenienzmerkmale, um Belege der Zugehörigkeit und Ordnung sowie um Skizzen und Zeichnungen. Damit lassen sich Fragen zu Herkunft, Nutzung und den verschiedenen Stationen der Modelle beantworten. Grundlage dieses Artikels sind die Forschungen im Rahmen des Dissertationsprojektes des Verfassers zur königlichen Modellkammer der Georg-August-Universität Göttingen. Diese im 18. Jahrhundert gegründete universale Lehrsammlung wurde bis Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts im Curriculum der angewandten Mathematik genutzt. Nach bisherigem Forschungsstand war sie einmalig an einer deutschen Universität des 18. Jahrhunderts. Eine weitere Besonderheit besteht darin, dass bis heute 24 Modelle erhalten geblieben sind und darüber hinaus reichlich Schriftgut zur Sammlung im Universitätsarchiv aufbewahrt wird. Neben den dort zu findenden Inventaren erlaubt die ebenfalls zum Teil erhaltene Korrespondenz zwischen den verschiedenen Akteuren nicht nur die Rekonstruktion der Sammlung, sondern ermöglicht auch Aussagen über die historische Sammlungspraxis. Über den Umgang mit den Modellen in der universitären Lehre selbst schweigen jedoch die Schriftquellen. Um diese „Aufzeichnungslücken“ zu schließen, werden die Modelle selbst als Quelle herangezogen, wofür die materielle historische Forschung einen breitgefächerten Methodenkasten bietet.
