description: Recent T2K, MINOS and Double CHOOZ results, together with global fits of mixing parameters, indicate a sizeable reactor angle theta13 ~ 8 deg which, if confirmed, would rule out tri-bimaximal (TB) lepton mixing. Recently two of us studied the vacuum alignment of the Altarelli-Feruglio A4 family symmetry model including additional flavons in the 1' and 1" representations, leading to so-called "trimaximal" neutrino mixing and allowing a potentially large reactor angle. Here we show how such a model may arise from a Supersymmetric (SUSY) Grand Unified Theory (GUT) based on SU(5), leading to sum rule bounds |s| < thetaC/3, |a| < (r + thetaC/3)|cos delta|/2, where s,a,r parameterise the solar, atmospheric and reactor angle deviations from their TB mixing values, delta is the CP violating oscillation phase, and thetaC is the Cabibbo angle.

description: Recent observational and theoretical studies have suggested that supermassive black holes (SMBHs) grow mostly through non-merger (`secular') processes. Since galaxy mergers lead to dynamical bulge growth, the only way to observationally isolate non-merger growth is to study galaxies with low bulge-to-total mass ratio (e.g. B/T < 10%). However, bulge growth can also occur due to secular processes, such as disk instabilities, making disk-dominated selections a somewhat incomplete way to select merger-free systems. Here we use the Horizon-AGN simulation to select simulated galaxies which have not undergone a merger since z = 2, regardless of bulge mass, and investigate their location on typical black hole-galaxy scaling relations in comparison to galaxies with merger dominated histories. While the existence of these correlations has long been interpreted as co-evolution of galaxies and their SMBHs driven by galaxy mergers, we show here that they persist even in the absence of mergers. We find that the correlations between SMBH mass and both total mass and stellar velocity dispersion are independent of B/T ratio for both merger-free and merger-dominated galaxies. In addition, the bulge mass and SMBH mass correlation is still apparent for merger-free galaxies, the intercept for which is dependent on B/T. Galaxy mergers reduce the scatter around the scaling relations, with merger-free systems showing broader scatter. We show that for merger-free galaxies, the co-evolution is dominated by radio-mode feedback, and suggest that the long periods of time between galaxy mergers make an important contribution to the co-evolution between galaxies and SMBHs in all galaxies.

description: Using a recently proposed model for combinatorial landscapes, Local Optima Networks (LON), we conduct a thorough analysis of two types of instances of the Quadratic Assignment Problem (QAP). This network model is a reduction of the landscape in which the nodes correspond to the local optima, and the edges account for the notion of adjacency between their basins of attraction. The model was inspired by the notion of 'inherent network' of potential energy surfaces proposed in physical-chemistry. The local optima networks extracted from the so called uniform and real-like QAP instances, show features clearly distinguishing these two types of instances. Apart from a clear confirmation that the search difficulty increases with the problem dimension, the analysis provides new confirming evidence explaining why the real-like instances are easier to solve exactly using heuristic search, while the uniform instances are easier to solve approximately. Although the local optima network model is still under development, we argue that it provides a novel view of combinatorial landscapes, opening up the possibilities for new analytical tools and understanding of problem difficulty in combinatorial optimization.
Mechanisms of divergence in threespine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus)
Creators: name: Marchinko, Kerry Brian
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: One of the most impressive examples of parallel divergence in nature is the repeated loss of armour in freshwater threespine stickleback, yet we have little evidence for the mechanisms driving this evolutionary change. I tested two ecological factors hypothesized to drive armour divergence between marine and freshwater populations and examined the mechanisms maintaining armour variation within a polymorphic population of stickleback. I demonstrate how differences in salinity between marine and freshwater habitats might indirectly drive the reduction of lateral plate number in freshwater. Offspring with a reduced number of armour plates grew much faster than offspring with many plates when raised in fresh water, but not salt water. Larger size is positively associated with two measures of fitness, survival and reproductive potential, suggesting that the parallel loss of plates in fresh water arose through a correlated response to selection for faster growth during plate development. I show that predation by freshwater aquatic insects favours armour reduction and larger body size. Using an F₂ intercross between divergent marine and freshwater populations, I measured selection on body size, spine traits and Ectodysplasin, a gene linked to quantitative trait loci for plate number, spine length, and body shape. Insect predation, when compared to experimental controls, resulted in increased juvenile size, shorter dorsal spine and pelvic girdle length after accounting for size, and favoured the low armor Ectodysplasin allele. My work on an Ectodysplasin polymorphism in a freshwater population revealed a rare example of a stable polymorphism with heterozygote disadvantage. Genetic analysis revealed that selection rather than population subdivision or assortative mating accounts for the observed heterozygote deficiency. Differences in carbon isotope signature hint that niche separation exists between Ectodysplasin homozygotes, providing an ecological mechanism (frequency-dependent selection) for the maintenance of polymorphism despite heterozygous disadvantage. Overall, my thesis contributes to a growing body of empirical work revealing the powerful effects of divergent selection and highlights the benefits of integrating genetic and ecological approaches for understanding the mechanisms maintaining variation and promoting diversification in wild populations.

description: Using a Markov chain approach we rederive the exact density functional for hard rod mixtures on a one-dimensional lattice, which forms the basis of the lattice fundamental measure theory. The transition probability in the Markov chain depends on a set of occupation numbers, which reflects the property of a zero-dimensional cavity to hold at most one particle. For given mean occupation numbers (density profile), an exact expression for the equilibrium distribution of microstates is obtained, that means an expression for the unique external potential that generates the density profile in equilibrium. By considering the rod ends to fall onto lattice sites, the mixture is always additive.

description: CdTe is II-VI semiconductor material with excellent characteristics and has demonstrated promising potential for application in the photovoltaic field. The electronic properties of Cd43Te28 with microporous structures have been investigated based on density functional theory. The newly established binding-energy and bond-charge model have been used to convert the value of Hamiltonian into bonding values. We provide a method for describing topological chemical bonds by atomic coordinates and wave phases. We also discuss the dynamic process of the wave function with time and the magic cube matrix. This study provides an innovative method and technology for the accurate analysis of the topological bonding and electronic properties of microporous semiconductor materials.

description: The group of area preserving diffeomorphisms showed importance in the problems of self-dual gravity and integrability theory. We discuss how representations of this infinite-dimensional Lie group can arise in mathematical physics from pure local considerations. Then using Lie algebra extensions and cohomology we derive the second Plebański equation and its geometry. We do not use Kähler or other additional structures but obtain the equation solely from the geometry of area preserving transformations group. We conclude that the Plebański equation is Lie remarkable.

Tensor polarization of deuterons passing through matter

description: It is shown that the magnitude of tensor polarization of the deuteron beam, which arises owing to the spin dichroism effect, depends appreciably on the angular width of the detector that registers the deuterons transmitted through the target. Even when the angular width of the detector is much smaller than the mean square angle of multiple Coulomb scattering, the beam's tensor polarization depends noticeably on rescattering. When the angular width of the detector is much larger than the mean square angle of multiple Coulomb scattering (as well as than the characteristic angle of elastic nuclear scattering), tensor polarization is determined only by the total reaction cross sections for deuteron-nucleus interaction, and elastic scattering processes make no contribution to tensor polarization.

description: This is certainly not the most propitious time to publish a Journal "on Law and Integration". It is disintegration, not integration, that seems to be the dominant motive behind the contemporary events in Europe; it is the panacea offered to soothe the fears raised by the multiple crises which hold the present state of Europe in a tight grip; it is the invisible thread keeping together the anxieties which underlie the scholarly discussions about its future. It is not our task to determine the multifarious factors, of a social, political or cultural nature, which led to the current state of things. But the analysis of law as a possible disintegration factor would clearly be part of our brief. In all its aspects, the EU-Turkey Statement of 18 March 2016 on the large influx of migrants and asylum seekers in Greece seems to be exploiting the potentialities offered by international law as an alternative decision-making procedure within the EU legal system. This is not a completely unexplored road. The Brexit agreement, adopted by the Member States, acting within the European Council on 18 and 19 February 2016 equally seems to subvert the very mission of the founding treaties: to create an ever closer Union. Even with respect to this precedent, however, the EU-Turkey Statement seems to go one step further as it represents a visible example of the creeping modifications of the EU legal and political system, which almost inadvertently happens with the abdicant consent of the other political EU Institutions. This use of international instruments has the effect of disregarding the European institutional balance upon which the acquis européen has developed and which, with all its limits, constitutes the legacy of the first phase of the European integration. It may shift the centre of gravity to the Member States, the unmoved movers of the European legal universe. It may subdue the institutional pluralism, which has represented the hallmark of the political experience of the European integration, and create, instead, an institutional desert, where the political power is concentrated in the hand of the States acting through the European Council. It may mark the return to a Europe of sovereign States and the definite disappearance of the notion of a European public interest, of which we are in desperate need.

description: Cosmological relaxation of the electroweak scale via Higgs-axion interplay, named as relaxion mechanism, provides a dynamical solution to the Higgs mass hierarchy. In the original proposal by Graham, Kaplan and Rajendran, the relaxion abundance today is too small to explain the dark matter of the universe because of the high suppression of the misalignment angle after inflation. It was then realised by Banerjee, Kim and Perez that reheating effects can displace the relaxion, thus enabling it to account for the dark matter abundance from the misalignment mechanism. However, this scenario is realised in a limited region of parameter space to avoid runaway. We show that in the regime where inflationary fluctuations dominate over the classical slow-roll, the "stochastic misalignment" of the field due to fluctuations can be large. We study the evolution of the relaxion after inflation, including the high-temperature scenario, in which the barriers of the potential shrink and destabilise temporarily the local minimum. We open new regions of parameter space where the relaxion can naturally explain the observed dark matter density in the universe, towards larger coupling, larger mass, larger mixing angle, smaller decay constant, as well as larger scale of inflation.

In this paper, we will try to answer if it is possible that the Möbius polynomial of a matroid, together with the Möbius polynomial of the dual matroid, define the coboundary polynomial of the matroid. In some cases, the answer is affirmative, and we will give two constructions to determine the coboundary polynomial in these cases.

description: Two hundred and seventy two skulls and one hundred and ninety four antlers of Rocky Mountain Wapiti (Ce~vus elaphus nelsoni) and twenty-five skulls of the Manitoba Elk (C. e. manitobensis) collected from different locations were analysed with the aid of a digital computer. Individual variation in the male and female skulls conformed to a normal distribution, with the exception of the nasal width, foramen magnum width and basioccipital width. Individual variation in antlers was extreme except for the angles formed in the main beam and the length of the beam to Tine 4. The growth of male and female skulls and antlers is discussed. Differences in allometric growth patterns in skulls were tested by a covariance analysis of regression coefficients of selected skull traits against the condylobasal length. Sexual dimorphism is pronounced in the skulls, with the exception of upper and lower toothrows, the widths of PM2 and M2, the width across the maxillaries at M2, the lower diastema and the brain cavity height. Pedicel development in females is discussed. Geographic variation was tested by an analysis of variance followed by repeated t-testing. Thirteen measurements were found to differ between locations in adult female skulls, 11 of which differed within locations of the subspecies neZsoni as well as between subspecies of nelsoni and manitobensis. These differences are discussed in terms of population quality resulting from high or low nutritional regimes. The validity of the North American races nelsoni, manitobensis and merriami is discussed.

description: Recently introduced connections between quantum codes and Narain CFTs provide a simple ansatz to express a modular-invariant function $Z(τ,\bar τ)$ in terms of a multivariate polynomial satisfying certain additional properties. These properties include algebraic identities, which ensure modular invariance of $Z(τ,\bar τ)$, and positivity and integrality of coefficients, which imply positivity and integrality of the $\mathfrak{u}(1)^n \times \mathfrak{u}(1)^n$ character expansion of $Z(τ,\bar τ)$. Such polynomials come naturally from codes, in the sense that each code of a certain type gives rise to the so-called enumerator polynomial, which automatically satisfies all necessary properties, while the resulting $Z(τ,\bar τ)$ is the partition function of the code CFT -- the Narain theory unambiguously constructed from the code. Yet there are also ``fake'' polynomials satisfying all necessary properties, that are not associated with any code. They lead to $Z(τ,\bar τ)$ satisfying all modular bootstrap constraints (modular invariance and positivity and integrality of character expansion), but whether they are partition functions of any actual CFT is unclear. We consider the group of the six simplest fake polynomials and denounce the corresponding $Z$'s as fake: we show that none of them is the torus partition function of any Narain theory. Moreover, four of them are not partition functions of any unitary 2d CFT; our analysis for other two is inconclusive. Our findings point to an obvious limitation of the modular bootstrap approach: not every solution of the full set of torus modular bootstrap constraints is due to an actual CFT. In the paper we consider six simple examples, keeping in mind that thousands more can be constructed.

The coupling of their underlying microscopic mechanisms -- one based on a three-dimensional topological insulator, one based on two-dimensional superconductivity -- stabilizes topological superconductivity over a wide range of parameters, and gives rise to two disjoint topological regions in the phase diagram of FeSe$_{0.45}$Te$_{0.55}$. We show that the topological origin of these regions can be identified by considering the form of Majorana edge modes at domain walls.

description: Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is a neutrino experiment being built in Southern China to measure neutrinos produced in nuclear power plants at a distance of 52.5 km. Having the main goal to improve the knowledge about neutrino oscillations, fundamental properties of these particles, JUNO will also be able to observe neutrinos of natural origin such as from the Sun, supernovae, the Earth atmosphere and its interior. The latter are called geoneutrinos and can serve as a proxy for investigation of the Earth’s radiogenic heat. Using inverse beta-decay as the detection channel, JUNO is sensitive to geoneutrinos produced in beta-decays of U-238 and Th-232 radioactive isotopes. JUNO will collect in one year about 400 geoneutrinos, what is more than the present-day statistics measured by Borexino and KamLAND together. This talk will report the JUNO expected sensitivity to geoneutrino measurement including some preliminary results of an updated analysis.

description: The 3D structure of the inner Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) is investigated using the red clump (RC) stars and the RR Lyrae stars (RRLS). The V and I pass bands photometric data from the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE III) catalogue are used. The mean dereddened I${_0}$ magnitude and the dispersion in the I${_0}$ magnitudes are used to estimate the relative positions of different regions in the SMC and the line of sight (LOS) depth across the SMC respectively. From the analysis of both the populations we found that the north eastern part of the SMC is closer to us and the line of sight depth across the SMC is large. The radial density profile of the RC stars suggest that they are more likely to be distributed in a nearly spheroidal system. An elongation along the NE-SW direction is seen in the distribution of the RC stars. Based on these results the observed SMC is approximated as a triaxial ellipsoidal galaxy. The parameters of the ellipsoid obtained using both the populations are found to be similar. The above estimated parameters depend on the data coverage of the SMC. Using the RRLS with equal coverage in all the three axes (data within 3 degrees in X, Y and Z axes), we estimated an axes ratio of 1:1.33:1.61 with an inclination, i = 2.6 deg and position angle of the projection of the ellipsoid, ϕ= 70.2 deg. Our tidal radius estimates and the recent observational studies suggest that the full extent of the SMC in the XY plane is of the order of the front to back distance estimated along the line of sight. These results suggest that the structure of the SMC is spheroidal or slightly ellipsoidal. We propose that the SMC experienced a merger with another dwarf galaxy at ~ 4-5 Gyr ago, and the merger process was completed in another 2-3 Gyr. This resulted in a spheroidal distribution comprising of stars older than 2 Gyr.

description: We present the first rest-frame optical spectrum of a high-redshift quasar observed with JWST/NIRCam in Wide Field Slitless (WFSS) mode. The observed quasar, J0100+2802, is the most luminous quasar known at $z>6$. We measure the mass of the central supermassive black hole (SMBH) by means of the rest-frame optical H$β$ emission line, and find consistent mass measurements of the quasar's SMBH of $M_\bullet\approx10^{10}\,M_\odot$ when compared to the estimates based on the properties of rest-frame UV emission lines CIV and MgII, which are accessible from ground-based observatories. To this end, we also present a newly reduced rest-frame UV spectrum of the quasar observed with X-Shooter/VLT and FIRE/Magellan for a total of 16.8 hours. We readdress the question whether this ultra-luminous quasar could be effected by strong gravitational lensing making use of the diffraction limited NIRCam images in three different wide band filters (F115W, F200W, F356W), which improves the achieved spatial resolution compared to previous images taken with the Hubble Space Telescope by a factor of two. We do not find any evidence for a foreground deflecting galaxy, nor for multiple images of the quasar, and determine the probability for magnification due to strong gravitational lensing with image separations below the diffraction limit of $Δθ\lesssim 0.05''$ to be $\lesssim 2.2\times 10^{-3}$. Our observations therefore confirm that this quasar hosts a ten billion solar mass black hole less than $1$ Gyr after the Big Bang, which is challenging to explain with current black hole formation models.

description: Simple, or Kleinian, singularities are classified by Dynkin diagrams of type ADE. Let g be the corresponding finite-dimensional Lie algebra, and W its Weyl group. The set of g-invariants in the basic representation of the affine Kac-Moody algebra g^ is known as a W-algebra and is a subalgebra of the Heisenberg vertex algebra F. Using period integrals, we construct an analytic continuation of the twisted representation of F. Our construction yields a global object, which may be called a W-twisted representation of F. Our main result is that the total descendant potential of the singularity, introduced by Givental, is a highest weight vector for the W-algebra.

For the first study (n = 65), participants were assigned to conditions: (1) insult/non-sexually coercive fantasy material; (2) no insult/sexually coercive fantasy material; and, (3) insult/sexually coercive fantasy material. Those deemed high risk for sexual coercion were more easily frustrated than the low group, especially when exposed to Condition 3. Changes in negative affect predicted likelihood of engaging in sexual aggression for the low but not the high risk group and anticipated enjoyment of sexual coercion in the high but not the low group. Controlling for degree of acculturation eliminated any differences between Chinese and Caucasian males. The results suggest that the appeal of sexually aggressive thoughts/fantasies is largely influenced by emotional reactivity in response to environmental stimuli. In the second study (n = 142), participants were assigned to conditions involving either an innocuous or a sexually aggressive cognitive priming task. Regardless of condition, high risk males were more likely to engage in sexual aggression in the laboratory than those deemed low risk. When the effects of discomfort were controlled, a significant interaction between risk and condition on sexual aggression was observed. While engaging in significantly less sexual aggression than the high group when assigned to the innocuous cognitive priming task, the low risk group assigned to the sexually aggressive cognitive priming task was indistinguishable from the high group. Chinese men were significantly more likely than Caucasian men to be deemed high risk and yet, this did not result in differential rates of sexual aggression in the laboratory. Discomfort in response to the sexually aggressive cognitive priming task did, however, result in Chinese men engaging in more sexual aggression than those assigned to the innocuous task. These findings suggest that even those not previously inclined towards sexual aggression can do so under opportunistic circumstances, following an increase in discomfort associated with exposure to and involvement with sexually coercive material.

description: We examine the relevance of several major material-dependent parameters to the magnetic softness in iron-base superconductors by first-principles electronic structure analysis of their parent compounds. The results are explained in the spin-fermion model where localized spins and orbitally degenerate itinerant electrons coexist and are coupled by Hund's rule coupling. We found that the difference in the strength of the Hund's rule coupling term is the major material-dependent microscopic parameter for determining the ground-state spin pattern. The magnetic softness in iron-based superconductors is essentially driven by the competition between the double-exchange ferromagnetism and the superexchange antiferromagnetism.

description: The behaviour of mule deer was studied from October, 1969 to April, 1970 in Waterton Lakes National Park, Alberta. Deer movements, group dynamics, aggression, activity, and habitat utilization were examined in relation to the social and physical environment, in an attempt to determine the factors which could influence deer behaviour in winter. Social factors appeared to exert a major influence on deer behaviour in early winter. In November, rutting bucks sometimes disrupted the activity of maternal groups, and there was some indication that these groups preferred habitats that provided concealment during the rut, possibly because of such disturbances. Intra-group dominance and examples of potential inter-group dominance were observed during early winter, while inter-class dominance was observed throughout the winter. The activity of members of established maternal groups was reasonably synchronous, but synchrony was less evident in unstable groups. Changes in monthly activity patterns appeared to be associated with alterations in group structure, which were particularly frequent during mid and late winter. The deer's patterns of movement and habitat utilization seemed to follow the law of least effort. In early winter, when forage was readily available, deer moved little and occupied small areas. Movements of bucks during the rut was an exception to this rule. When snow restricted forage availability and deer mobility, the animals moved to habitats where snow was shallowest. The deer appeared to be continually compensating for changes in the environment by altering their pattern of habitat utilization in order to take advantage of areas which provided either food or shelter, or both.

description: Four or more tills, commonly separated by nonglacial deposits, are exposed along the Gods River in northwestern Hudson Bay Lowland. The oldest till (Till A) overlies Paleozoic bedrock and is overlain by fossiliferous beds of fluvial, lacustrine, and organic origin (Gods River sediments). Pollen, spores, seeds, wood, insects, and molluscs from within the Gods River sediments record a subarctic climate and a vegetational succession that began and ended with tundra. During the warmest part of the interval, a forest-tundra vegetation grew in the region. The Gods River sediments are correlative with the Missinaibi Formation in northern Ontario and a Sangamon age is inferred. Till B, which overlies the Gods River sediments, is usually separated from the younger Till C by stratified sand and gravel devoid of organic material (Twin Creeks sediments) . This glacial-nonglacialglacial sequence probably encompasses the greater part of Wisconsin. time. The uppermost till (Till D) was laid down during a glacial advance prior to about 7, 600 years B. P. Tyrrell Sea invaded the area contemporaneously with, or shortly after, deglaciation. Isostatic rebound raised the land surface and sea-level receded rapidly. During the initial thousand-year period following inundation, the rate of uplift was about 6 m/ century. Since then, the rate of uplift has decreased to about O. 6 m/ century.

Aspects of the behavioural ecology and sociobiology of the pronghorn (Antilocapra Americana)

description: This is a comprehensive analysis of the behavioural ecology and sociobiology of the pronghorn. It is hypothesized that climate, availability of food, predation and the open structure of the plains habitat are the major ecological selection forces. The general form of adaptations used during the birth process, over the growing season and over the lifetime is predicted by the interaction of the basic biological requirements of a medium-sized ruminant with the ecological forces. The predictions are tested by analysis of behavioural, morphological and reproductive characteristics. Behavioural data on the birth process and social organization were gathered at Wind cave National Park, South Dakota. Data on social organization were analyzed by a computer mapping system. The hypothesis accurately predicted the prominent life history features. The behavioural ecology of birth can be explained by predation and weather. Does and fawns completed the necessary physiological and behavioural processes rapidly and used variations in habitat structure for concealment. Hypothermia was counteracted by maternal drying and ruffling of neonatal pelage. Social behaviour patterns rely heavily on vision for communication, as was expected from the open iii habitat structure. The territorial social organization of one population was explained by competition for food and different strategies of male and female ruminants in a polygynous mating system. Territories were economically defendable. Availability of food was considered a primary ecological force, with habitat structure and predation secondary forces. The change from a territorial social organization to herds of mixed sexes at the beginning of winter may be due to the halting of plant productivity and an increase in predation pressure. Formation of mixed herds may be facilitated by male and female mimicry. Males lose their horn sheaths in early winter. Females have small horns and varying amounts of black hair on their rostrums. Sexual dimorphism in body size is conservative when compared with territorial African gazelles. The relatively long gestation period enables the female to give birth in the spring and to insure insemination by territorial males to obtain the best genes for her eggs and avoid harassing courtship from non-territorial males. Since territories are economically defendable only during the growing season, females come into estrous at that time. Climatic variability may explain why females give birth to two young.
On the nature of the Herbig B[e] star binary system V921 Scorpii: Geometry and kinematics of the circumprimary disk on sub-AU scales

description: V921 Scorpii is a close binary system (separation 0.025") showing the B[e]-phenomenon. The system is surrounded by an enigmatic bipolar nebula, which might have been shaped by episodic mass-loss events, possibly triggered by dynamical interactions between the companion and the circumprimary disk (Kraus et al. 2012a). In this paper, we investigate the spatial structure and kinematics of the circumprimary disk, with the aim to obtain new insights into the still strongly debated evolutionary stage. For this purpose, we combine, for the first time, infrared spectro-interferometry (VLTI/AMBER, R=12,000) and spectro-astrometry (VLT/CRIRES, R=100,000), which allows us to study the AU-scale distribution of circumstellar gas and dust with an unprecedented velocity resolution of 3 km*s^-1. Using a model-independent photocenter analysis technique, we find that the Br-gamma-line emission rotates in the same plane as the dust disk. We can reproduce the wavelength-differential visibilities and phases and the double-peaked line profile using a Keplerian-rotating disk model. The derived mass of the central star is 5.4+/-0.4 M_sun*(d/1150 pc), which is considerably lower than expected from the spectral classification, suggesting that V921 Sco might be more distant (d approx 2kpc) than commonly assumed. Using the geometric information provided by our Br-gamma spectro-interferometric data and Paschen, Brackett, and Pfund line decrement measurements in 61 hydrogen recombination line transitions, we derive the density of the line-emitting gas (N_e=2...6*10^19 m^-3). Given that our measurements can be reproduced with a Keplerian velocity field without outflowing velocity component and the non-detection of age-indicating spectroscopic diagnostics, our study provides new evidence for the pre-main-sequence nature of V921 Sco.
