description: The angular momentum of a molecular cloud core plays a key role in star formation, since it is directly related to the outflow and the jet emanating from the new-born star and it eventually results in the formation of the protoplanetary disk. However, the origin of the core rotation and its time evolution are not well understood. Recent observations reveal that molecular clouds exhibit a ubiquity of filamentary structures and that star forming cores are associated with the densest filaments. Since these results suggest that dense cores form primarily in filaments, the mechanism of core formation from filament fragmentation should explain the distribution of the angular momentum of these cores. In this paper we analyze the relation between velocity fluctuations along the filament close to equilibrium and the angular momentum of the cores formed along its crest. We first find that an isotropic velocity fluctuation that follows the three-dimensional Kolmogorov spectrum does not reproduce the observed angular momentum of molecular cloud cores. We then identify the need for a large power at small scales and study the effect of three power spectrum models. We show that the one-dimensional Kolmogorov power spectrum with a slope -5/3 and an anisotropic model with reasonable parameters are compatible with the observations. Our results stress the importance of more detailed and systematic observations of both the velocity structure along filaments and the angular momentum distribution of molecular cloud cores to determine the validity of the mechanism of core formation from filamentary molecular clouds.

description: The technique of transmission spectroscopy allows us to constrain the chemical composition of the atmospheres of transiting exoplanets. It relies on very high signal-to-noise spectroscopic (or spectrophotometric) observations and is thus most suited for bright exoplanet host stars. In the era of TESS, NGST and PLATO, more and more suitable targets, even for mid-sized telescopes, are discovered. Furthermore, a wealth of archival data is available that could become a basis for long-term monitoring of exo-atmospheres. We analyzed archival HARPS spectroscopic time series of four host stars to transiting bloated gas exoplanets, namely WASP-76b, WASP-127b, WASP-166b and KELT-11b, searching for traces of sodium (sodium doublet), hydrogen (H$α$, H$β$), and lithium (670.8 nm). The archival data sets include spectroscopic time series taken during transits. Comparing in- and out-of-transit spectra we can filter out the stellar lines and investigate the absorption from the planet. Simultaneously, the stellar activity is monitored using the Mg I and Ca I lines. We independently detect sodium in the atmosphere of WASP-76b at a 7-9 $σ$ level. Furthermore, we report also at 4-8 $σ$ level of significance the detection of sodium in the atmosphere of WASP-127b, confirming earlier result based on low-resolution spectroscopy. The data show no sodium nor any other atom at high confidence levels for WASP-166b nor KELT-11b, hinting at the presence of thick high clouds.

description: In this paper we address the question how the control of delayed measured chaotic systems can be improved. Both unmodified OGY control and difference control can be successfully applied only for a certain range of Lyapunov numbers depending on the delay time. We show that this limitation can be overcome by at least two classes of methods, by rhythmic control and by the memory methods linear predictive logging control (LPLC) and memory difference control (MDC).

description: A grid of 20 millions 3-1100$μ$m SED models is presented for synthetic young clusters embedded in dense clumps. The models depend on four primary parameters: the clump mass M$_{clump}$ and dust temperature T$_{dust}$, the fraction of mass f$_{core}$ locked in dense cores, and the age of the clump t$_{SF}$. We populate the YSO clusters using the IMF from Kroupa(2001) and the YSOs SED models grid of Robitaille et al. (2006). We conduct extensive testing of SED fitting using a simulated dataset and we find that M$_{clump}$ essentially depends on the submillimeter portion of the SED, while T$_{dust}$ is mostly determined from the shape of the SED in the 70-350$μ$m range. Thanks to the large number of models computed we verify that the combined analysis of L/M, [8-24] and [24-70] colours removes much of the SEDs f$_{core}$-t$_{SF}$ degeneracy. The L/M values are particularly useful to diagnose f$_{core}$. L/M$\leq$1 identifies protoclusters with f$_{core}\leq$0.1 and t$_{SF} \leq 10^5$ years, while L/M$\geq$10 excludes f$_{core}\leq$0.1. We characterize lower limits of L/M where ZAMS stars are not found in models, and we also find models with L/M $\geq$10 and no ZAMS stars, in which [8-24]$\geq0.8\pm 0.1$ independently from M$_{clump}$, temperature and luminosity. This is the first set of synthesis SED models suited to model for embedded and unresolved clusters of YSOs. A set of new evolutionary tracks in the L/M diagram is also presented.

description: Every year, American institutions, both private and public, contribute tens of millions of dollars to the preservation of foreign heritage. This sum is only a small portion of total U.S. foreign assistance: in 2018 the U.S. government administered $32.77 billion in foreign aid, while private charitable organizations with international missions collected an additional $22.88 billion in donations. Yet, the money sent abroad for preservation can have a tremendous impact on foreign heritage and the communities that care for them. Heritage sites are important platforms for the construction and mediation of current social values and identities and can be leveraged to both reinforce and challenge hegemonic norms. Through its engagement with the heritage, historic preservation engages with these tensions and is therefore inherently political. For this reason, U.S. financial contributions to the preservation of foreign heritage deserve to be probed as a distinct kind of American influence abroad. Previous critiques of this dynamic have focused primarily on how government agencies use heritage funding to further foreign policy objectives, usually as means of diplomacy. However, private nonprofits are also key entities in this arena, as evidenced by the prominence of organizations like the World Monuments Fund and the Getty Conservation Institute. Yet, little has been written about the private American institutions that engage with preservation internationally, and there is a gap in our knowledge about the trends they exhibit, the factors that shape their agendas, and the magnitude of their impact. This thesis begins to fill that gap specifically by examining the organizations that facilitate the funding of preservation overseas, channeling financial support from U.S.-based donors, foundations, and government agencies to the organizations and communities that care for heritage abroad. In many ways, these agents act as the representatives of preservation in the philanthropic sector. However, they also fill a diverse set of functions and operate in a complex ecosystem informed by the dynamics of philanthropy, international affairs, and domestic politics. Consequently, the interests that shape their agendas extend well beyond the field of preservation. In order to better understand these organizations and their cumulative effects on preservation internationally, this thesis probes the following questions: • What types of organizations are facilitating U.S.-led funding of preservation abroad? • What trends exist among these various categories of organizations? • What is the magnitude of their financial impact on preservation abroad? • What factors and interests shape their priorities?

description: We studied the long-term evolution of the spectral-temporal correlated properties of the black hole candidate Swift J1753.5-0127 from the onset of its outburst until 2011 with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE). The source stayed most of its lifetime during hard state, with occasionally transitioned to the hard intermediate state. Similar to typical black hole transients, Swift J1753.5-0127 traces a clear hard line in absolute rms - intensity diagram during the low hard state, with expected highest absolute rms, while shows a clear turn during the hard intermediate state, accompanied by lower absolute rms. Different from Cyg X-1, we found that frequency-dependent time lag increased significantly in the 0.02 -- 3.2 Hz band during state transition in this source. The X-ray time lags in 0.02 -- 3.2 Hz can therefore be used as indicators of state transition in this source. Type-C QPO frequency is positively related with its fractional rms and X-ray photon index, suggesting a moving inwards disk/corona scenario. We discussed the physical interpretation of our results in our paper.

Subjects: subject: Communication
subject: Internet

subject: FOS: Sociology

description: This dissertation uses Russian social media as a lens for exploring the historically, culturally, socially and politically situated relationship between individuals and online communication technologies. I propose a framework for comparative international analysis that leverages three interconnected elements – history, network structure and media ecology. On the basis of these three elements, this dissertation examines Russia’s social media ecology and its relationship to Russia’s broader socio-political environment, articulating the various factors that have influenced the specific network structure and nature of social media in Russia, its role within the broader online and traditional media ecologies, and its implications for Russian society and politics in general. In the first part, I outline the features of Russia’s distinct social media ecology, and examine the various historic and social factors that have shaped its evolution, highlighting the implications of the intertwined development of the Internet and social media in Russia. In the second section, I present the findings of my case study of the network structure of Russian social media, examining the culture of Russia’s online social networks and providing a detailed analysis of the network structure and patterns of attention in Russian social media between 2009- 2010. In the final section, I consider these findings within the broader context of Russia’s media ecology, highlighting the distinction between “Internet Russia” and “TV Russia” and evaluating the role of Russian social media networks in offline action, particularly the tumultuous events of 2012. Russian social media networks are not a microcosm, reflection or “map” of Russian society. They are created and pursued by an as yet elite, but growing, segment of the population - active and engaged social media users for whom the relatively uncensored Internet serves not only as an independent source of information, but, more significantly, as an avenue for interpersonal connection and communication. Civil participation in Russia, I conclude, has its roots in these interpersonal social networks. My historically, socially and culturally rooted exploration of Russian social media ecology recognizes it as an interpersonal space as well as a public sphere, highlighting the communication and coordination aspect of social media, as much as the informational one. This approach explains the immediate success, “like a fish to water,” of LiveJournal’s social network based blogging platform in Russia, and provides a foundation for understanding the unique structure and nature of Russian social media networks. Finally, it offers context and insight for a more nuanced understanding of the offline social and political ramifications of social media in Russia, as well as a matrix for cross cultural comparison.

The Master of the Rebels: Teenage Encounters with Shakespeare, 1944-2012.
Creators: Martin, Darragh Gerard
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2013
Subjects: Theater

description: This dissertation tells the story of Shakespeare's role in the invention of the teenager and teenagers' roles in re-inventing Shakespeare. In post World War II England, Australia, and the United States, Shakespeare's plays became one arena where competing versions of teenage identity were defined, with Shakespearean characters and teenage subjects cast as rebels or romantic consumers. I argue that a narrow canon of School Shakespeare has emerged, with Hamlet and Romeo and Juliet recast as plays about romantic consumption, limiting the political roles of teenagers to onlookers rather than rebellious actors. Attending to what I term double reply, I contend that teenagers can resist their interpellation as romantic consumers, carving a powerful alternative discourse through parody and non-verbal performance.
The Marriage of Man and God: Solomon's Song of Songs and Resurrection in the  Divine Comedy

description: By the time Dante wrote The Divine Comedy, the Old Testament book known as The Song of Songs or Canticles had been read by Christians as an allegory of the “marriage” of God and the Resurrected Church.  For this reason Dante chose King Solomon, the assumed author of the book, as spokesman for the doctrine of resurrection in Canto ten of the Paradiso. This thesis explores Dante's poetic response to the Song of Song’s erotic marriage imagery and his uniquely experiential vision of resurrection of the body, reunited for all eternity with the soul and God through love.

description: This is a study of democratization in Egypt through the lens of labor organization in the period following the fall of Hosni Mubarak. As a vehicle for collective action that is perpendicular to the Islamist-secular divide, labor organization produced cross-cutting cleavages that transcended intractable identity-based divisions. The suspension of prior constraints on political mobilization opened up spaces for the construction of autonomous working class organizations. An important subset of democratization theory has emphasized the role of working class organizations and political conflict over resource allocation in the institutionalization of democratic orders. The double-negative of the non-emergence of an autonomous organization of the working class and the failure of democratic transition in Egypt steers this study away from a macro-level assessment of the impact of labor autonomy on democratization towards an expository account of the forms of political action undertaken in the pursuit of political autonomy. Taking the assembly of political actors as projects, I examine how various groups sought to mobilize available resources in those projects. In consecutive chapters I consider the impact of available tools, and gravitational constraints of economic legacies, institutional vestiges, the media environment and the legal apparatus on the failures and success of these efforts. What remains of these projects should impact future efforts to construct autonomous political actors, which in this study are defined as political subjects capable of a destructive withdrawal from alliances, the credible threat of which institutionalizes the vulnerability of a governing regime.

description: Record companies invest billions of dollars in new talent around the globe each year. Gaining insight into what actually makes a hit song would provide tremendous benefits for the music industry. In this research we tackle this question by focussing on the dance hit song classification problem. A database of dance hit songs from 1985 until 2013 is built, including basic musical features, as well as more advanced features that capture a temporal aspect. A number of different classifiers are used to build and test dance hit prediction models. The resulting best model has a good performance when predicting whether a song is a "top 10" dance hit versus a lower listed position.

description: This dissertation draws on data from a six-month study of the materiality of one Kindergarten classroom undergoing curriculum reform in an urban public elementary school. Informed by a network case study approach, whereby case study methods are uncased through an Actor Network Theory lens, I question what it means to say literacy curriculum is enacted, or reformed, by acknowledging the multiplicity of actors entangled within curriculum, both human and non-human, local and distant, invited and uninvited. Furthermore, I propose ways of uncasing studies of literacy curriculum, revealing how no site—a school, a classroom, or an instructional block—is a fixed case but rather is constructed through networks of mobility streaming from many places.
      Through ecological surveys, images, fieldnotes, recordings and document archives, I trace the materialities of one Kindergarten classroom outward to reveal multiple dynamic networks—shifting school zones, neighborhoods, and curricular trends—that mobilize various bodies and materials into one seemingly stable public-school classroom. Networked within one morning meeting, for instance, were rotting pumpkins, pocket charts and cheese sandwiches doing the work of environmental nonprofits, DOE officials, and cafeteria staff, all entangled with the teacher and students in solving the problem of food waste at lunch.
      However, I also confront ethical choices made in tracing literacy curriculum as material “network effects.” Set in the nation’s most segregated school system, I address how curriculum is not only affected by networks of circulating materials, but also networks circulating students’ bodies into unequal school spaces, leading to neighborhood gentrification and changing school funding and enrollment. I conclude with what responsibilities exist for researchers advocating for a material focus to address systemic issues of injustice in schools.

description: Some memristors are quite interesting from the point of view of dynamical systems. When driven by narrow pulses of alternating polarities, their dynamics has a stable fixed point, which may be useful for future applications. We study the transient dynamics of two types of memristors characterized by a stable fixed point using a time-averaged evolution equation. Time-averaged trajectories of the Biolek window function memristor and resistor-threshold type memristor circuit (an effective memristor) are determined analytically, and the times of relaxation to the stable fixed point are found. Our analytical results are in perfect agreement with the results of numerical simulations.

description: Theatre as mimesis, the actor as mimic: can we still think in these terms, two and a half millennia after antiquity? The Meaning in Mimesis puts canonical texts of acting theory by Plato, Diderot, Stanislavsky, Brecht, and others back into conversation with their informing paradigms in philosophy and aesthetics, in order to trace the recurring impulse to theorize the actor's art and the theatrical experience in terms of one-to-one correspondences. I show that, across the history of ideas that is acting theory, the familiar conception of mimesis as imagistic representation entangles over and over again with an "other mimesis": mimesis as the embodied attunement with alterity, a human capacity that bridges the gap between self and other. When it comes to the philosophy of the theatre, it is virtually impossible to consider the one-to-one of representation or re-enactment without at the same time grappling with the one-to-one of identification or vicarious experience.

description: Inkjet printing of 8% Y2O3-stabilized ZrO2 (YSZ) thin films is achieved by designing a novel water-based reactive ink for Drop-on-Demand (DoD) inkjet printing. The ink formulation is based on a novel chemical strategy that consists of a combination of metal oxide precursors (zirconium alkoxide and yttrium salt), water and a nucleophilic agent, i.e. n-methyldiethanolamine (MDEA). This chemistry leads to metal-organic complexes with long term ink stability and high precision printability. Ink rheology and chemical reactivity are analyzed and controlled in terms of metal-organic interactions in the solutions. Thin dense nanocrystalline YSZ film below 150 nm are obtained by low temperature calcination treatments (400-500 °C), making the deposition suitable for a large variety of substrates, including silicon, glass and metals. Thin films and printed patterns achieve full densification with no lateral shrinkage and high ionic conductivity.

The Meaning and Use of Associate Degrees in the Employment of IT Technicians

description: Educational credentials are clearly linked to economic success, but the reasons for this link are not clear. Common theoretical approaches provide explanations but lack direct employer perspectives on credentials' meaning and the context in which employers make sense of credentials. In this study, I used an alternative perspective based in Meyer's (1977) theory of education as an institution, labor market sociology, the sociology of work, and organizational theory to examine the role of social context in how employers make sense of the associate degree for IT technician jobs. I conducted comparative case studies of contrasting labor markets: Detroit and Seattle. I interviewed 78 hiring managers in 58 organizations of varying types about their perceptions and ways of using degrees in hiring IT technicians. Hiring managers' perspectives on associate and bachelor's degrees for IT technician jobs reflect their ideas of degree holders' social roles. They expected associate degree holders to be eager to please and to lack ability, skill, and initiative relative to the bachelor's degree holders. In contrast, they expected bachelor's degree holders to feel entitled. These expectations of traits found in different degree holders illustrate the relative status differences between these credentials and degree holders' reaction to these differences. Hiring managers held ideas about associate degrees specific to their local labor market. Detroit hiring managers more commonly expected associate degrees to signify commitment to career, while Seattle hiring managers more commonly expected them to signify lack of ability, skill, and initiative. These differing views may be associated with the level of education in the local population and the reputation of local community colleges. Some evidence indicates that bureaucracy in hiring may also influence the use of educational credentials. Further research is needed to understand the role of organizational context. The key finding of this study is that credentials exist in a relational context. Degrees take on meaning in relationship to social context, including: other degrees, the occupation, the local labor market, and potentially the organization. This finding exists in contrast to common theories that propose standard meanings associated with educational credentials but miss these more specific, situated meanings.

description: We investigate the performance of DNNs when trained on class-incremental visual problems consisting of initial training, followed by retraining with added visual classes. Catastrophic forgetting (CF) behavior is measured using a new evaluation procedure that aims at an application-oriented view of incremental learning. In particular, it imposes that model selection must be performed on the initial dataset alone, as well as demanding that retraining control be performed only using the retraining dataset, as initial dataset is usually too large to be kept. Experiments are conducted on class-incremental problems derived from MNIST, using a variety of different DNN models, some of them recently proposed to avoid catastrophic forgetting. When comparing our new evaluation procedure to previous approaches for assessing CF, we find their findings are completely negated, and that none of the tested methods can avoid CF in all experiments. This stresses the importance of a realistic empirical measurement procedure for catastrophic forgetting, and the need for further research in incremental learning for DNNs.

description: The link between the nucleon generalized parton distributions and the non-diagonal one-body density matrix in momentum space is studied. Attention is focussed on the region where quark generalized parton distributions (GPD's) describe emission and reabsorption of a single active quark by the target nucleon. The correct covariant connection with wave functions used in any constituent quark model is established. Results obtained with different constituent quark models are presented for the unpolarized quark GPD's.

Classification of multidimensional inflationary models

description: We define under which circumstances two multi-warped product spacetimes can be considered equivalent and then we classify the spaces of constant curvature in the Euclidean and Lorentzian signature. For dimension D=2, we get essentially twelve representations, for D=3 exactly eighteen. More general, for every even D, 5D+2 cases exist, whereas for every odd D, 5D+3 cases exist. For every D, exactly one half of them has the Euclidean signature. Our definition is well suited for the discussion of multidimensional cosmological models, and our results give a simple algorithm to decide whether a given metric represents the inflationary de Sitter spacetime (in unusual coordinates) or not.

The Measure of Minority:  Producing Unequal Citizens through Science and Politics, India 1870-1950

description: What were the knowledges, scientific evidence and terms of recognition that constituted the object minority in the Indian subcontinent? How was minority produced simultaneously as a generalizable identity and as a naturalized marker of the Muslim identity? Focusing on the late colonial and the early postcolonial period, this dissertation is an analysis of the emergence of minority in relation to the nation-state in India. In doing that, I examine how minority came to be constituted as much by scientific knowledge produced about non-dominant communities, as by the discourse around electoral politics and constitutional rights. I demonstrate the possibilities and limitations in the way minority came to be constructed as a marginalized subject in governance and at the same time a difference from the national norm that threatened the ideal of the homogenous nation. Drawing on and contributing to scholarship in political history, history and sociology of science, and race and religious studies, this dissertation offers a reimagination of the relation between minority, nation and population.
The Meaning of White Flesh: Personhood, Solidarity and Evil as White-Embodied-Being

Subjects: Whites--Race identity

description: This paper wrestles with the theological implications of the way that violence makes itself present in white bodies. It is an effort to confront with the meaning of a present reality – the way in which bodies are racially marked – that has roots in particular lived experiences of the past, which live on in the form of triggering, hauntings and trauma. This paper argues that the rejection of body–spirit/soul/psyche/mind dualism and person–world dualism, grounded in the Incarnation of Jesus Christ and expressed in the Shawn Copeland’s non-dualistic category of “black-embodied-being-in-the-world,” makes it necessary to understand white embodiment through a parallel category of “white-embodied-being-in-the-world,” instead of other terms (such as “whiteness”) often used to characterize the “problem of white people.” This paper suggests an ethical response by white-embodied-being-in-the-world rooted in the particularity of white persons’ implication in incidents of subjugation. Noting that some of those subjugations involve harm from white bodies simply by virtue of their presence, and following Ivone Gebara’s understanding of evil as being present “in the daily run of what is harmful to actual persons,” this essay concludes that the white body presents a problem of evil, a problem of theodicy, and that any possible white solidarity must proceed from a candid assessment of that fact. Considering several responses to this circumstance, I examine three responses: Jennifer Harvey’s response rooted in the commands of Jesus, a dialectical response modeled on Irving Greenberg’s response to the Holocaust, and an erotic response derived from Copeland and Audre Lorde. Weighing the strengths and weaknesses of each, I tentatively propose an erotic, dialectical solidarity as ethical response from white-embodied-being-in-the-world.
Library marketing for Southeast Asia Chinese overseas special collections : transnational discovery & delivery
Creators: name: Shih, Virginia Jing-Yi
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: In recognition of the dynamic research, teaching, learning, and collecting needs of Chinese Overseas studies, scholars, librarians, archivists, curators, and knowledge creators have been collaborating for decades to create, collect, and provide research information access to the community in academic institutions, libraries, archives, museums, documentation centers, and depositories in both public and private sectors. They may not recognize that they have been conducting “unconscious” marketing for ongoing collections and services as a commodity to keep the field survive and thrive especially in special collection development which is perceived as a “luxury” in many research institutions. This paper will serve as an open discussion for resources sharing and collaborative initiatives to promote scattered hidden treasures locally and globally in the public domain. Given my specialization in Southeast Asian studies librarianship, I will focus on how librarians could conduct proactive and productive marketing for Southeast Asia Chinese Overseas special collections of primary sources to better serve a worldwide, diverse target audience. I will define the scope of Southeast Asia Chinese Overseas special collections in breadth and depth and showcase some specific samples of rare items as illustrations. I will elaborate on my insightful perspectives of ongoing cultural, social, political, and institutional challenges of identifying, acquiring, cataloging, preserving, and providing onsite and online access to Southeast Asia Chinese Overseas special collections in all possible subjects, formats, and languages within Southeast Asia and beyond. I will address practical marketing strategies which include public relations, publicity, promotion, advertising, advocacy, and branding between knowledge creators and knowledge seekers as part of a solid marketing action plan to accomplish the academic objectives and evaluate the outcome as an ongoing marketing agenda in our Southeast Asia Chinese Overseas special collection development enterprise. Last but not least, I would like to call for volunteers to create an online action-oriented marketing committee in 1) promoting essential onsite and online special collections; 2) initiating cooperative digitization projects; and 3) facilitating conference call meetings, webinars or research projects of common interest to enhance the advancement of Southeast Asia Chinese Overseas studies.
Fractional Calculus and the Evolution of Fractal Phenomena

description: It is argued that the evolution of complex phenomena ought to be described by fractional, differential, stochastic equations whose solutions have scaling properties and are therefore random, fractal functions. To support this argument we demonstrate that the fractional derivative (integral) of a generalized Weierstrass function (GWF) is another fractal function with a greater (lesser) fractal dimension. We also determine that the GWF is a solution to such a fractional differential stochastic equation of motion.

description: The need for a time-shift invariant formulation of quantum theory arises from fundamental symmetry principles as well as heuristic cosmological considerations. Such a description then leaves open the question of how to reconcile global invariance with the perception of change, locally. By introducing relative time observables, we are able to make rigorous the Page-Wootters conditional probability formalism to show how local Heisenberg evolution is compatible with global invariance.

Reshuffling the OPE: Delocalized Operator Expansion
Creators: name: Hofmann, Ralf
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A generalization of the operator product expansion for Euclidean correlators of gauge invariant QCD currents is presented. Each contribution to the modified expansion, which is based on a delocalized multipole expansion of a perturbatively determined coefficient function, sums up an infinite series of local operators. On a more formal level the delocalized operator expansion corresponds to an optimal choice of basis sets in the dual spaces which are associated with the interplay of perturbative and nonperturbative N-point correlations in a distorted vacuum. A consequence of the delocalized expansion is the running of condensates with the external momentum. Phenomenological evidence is gathered that the gluon condensate, often being the leading nonperturbative parameter in the OPE, is indeed a function of resolution. Within a model calculation of the nonperturbative corrections to the ground state energy of a heavy quarkonium system it is shown exemplarily that the convergence properties are better than those of the OPE. Potential applications of the delocalized operator expansion in view of estimates of the violation of local quark-hadron duality are discussed.

A new proof of Birkhoff's theorem
Creators: name: Schmidt, H. -J.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1997
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Assuming SO(3)-spherical symmetry, the 4-dimensional Einstein equation reduces to an equation conformally related to the field equation for 2-dimensional gravity following from the Lagrangian L = R^(1/3). Solutions for 2-dimensional gravity always possess a local isometry because the traceless part of its Ricci tensor identically vanishes. Combining both facts, we get a new proof of Birkhoff's theorem; contrary to other proofs, no coordinates must be introduced. The SO(m)-spherically symmetric solutions of the (m+1)-dimensional Einstein equation can be found by considering L = R^(1/m) in two dimensions. This yields several generalizations of Birkhoff's theorem in an arbitrary number of dimensions, and to an arbitrary signature of the metric.
