description: In the approach of Causal Dynamical Triangulations (CDT), quantum gravity is obtained as a scaling limit of a non-perturbative path integral over space-times whose causal structure plays a crucial role in the construction. After some general considerations about the relation between quantum gravity and cosmology, we examine which aspects of CDT are potentially interesting from a cosmological point of view, focussing on the emergence of a de Sitter universe in CDT quantum gravity.

Measuring the Complexity of Urban Form and Design

Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Physics and Society (physics.soc-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Complex systems have become a popular lens for analyzing cities and complexity theory has many implications for urban performance and resilience. This paper develops a typology of measures and indicators for assessing the physical complexity of the built environment at the scale of urban design. It extends quantitative measures from city planning, network science, ecosystems studies, fractal geometry, statistical physics, and information theory to the analysis of urban form and qualitative human experience. Metrics at multiple scales are scattered throughout diverse bodies of literature and have useful applications in analyzing the adaptive complexity that both evolves and results from local design processes. In turn, they enable urban designers to assess resilience, adaptability, connectedness, and livability with an advanced toolkit. The typology developed here applies to empirical research of various neighborhood types and design standards. It includes temporal, visual, spatial, scaling, and connectivity measures of the urban form. Today, prominent urban design movements openly embrace complexity but must move beyond inspiration and metaphor to formalize what "complexity" is and how we can use it to assess both the world as-is as well as proposals for how it could be instead.
Complex Balancing Reconstructed to the Asymptotic Stability of Mass-action Chemical Reaction Networks with Conservation Laws

description: Motivated by the fact that the pseudo-Helmholtz function is a valid Lyapunov function for characterizing asymptotic stability of complex balanced mass action systems (MASs), this paper develops the generalized pseudo-Helmholtz function for stability analysis for more general MASs assisted with conservation laws. The key technique is to transform the original network into two different MASs, defined by reconstruction and reverse reconstruction, with an important aspect that the dynamics of the original network for free species is equivalent to that of the reverse reconstruction. Stability analysis of the original network is then conducted based on an analysis of how stability properties are retained from the original network to the reverse reconstruction. We prove that the reverse reconstruction possesses only an equilibrium in each positive stoichiometric compatibility class if the corresponding reconstruction is complex balanced. Under this complex balanced reconstruction strategy, the asymptotic stability of the reverse reconstruction, which also applies to the original network, is thus reached by taking the generalized pseudo-Helmholtz function as the Lyapunov function. To facilitate applications, we further provide a systematic method for computing complex balanced reconstructions assisted with conservation laws. Some representative examples are presented to exhibit the validity of the complex balanced reconstruction strategy.

description: This report documents UTIG’s approach to managing aerogeophysical data in the field. This approach to fieldwork has taken shape in the course of over 20+ years of polar campaigns based out of over 10 Antarctic stations. Aerogeophysical survey is not simply about the act of making measurements and observations. A key component of conducting surveys is managing data as it is collected and providing feedback for quality control. We want to document that institutional knowledge for the benefit of researchers who are continuing in this work as well as for the users of our data. While this document focuses on data management in the field, we start by providing the context for a typical aerogeophysical campaign and describe how the work is broken up amongst teams. We then discuss the philosophy behind field data processing, with a focus on what the goals are for preliminary processing and how it differs from the final products. With that motivation, we describe how the Base Operations team typically meets those goals, along with case studies of how we have applied this approach when based at a variety of stations and field camps, with the differing logistical challenges imposed by each. Companion documents focusing on instrumentation and airborne operations are forthcoming.

description: We study the ground-state properties of a class of $\mathbb{Z}_n$ lattice gauge theories in 1 + 1 dimensions, in which the gauge fields are coupled to spinless fermionic matter. These models, stemming from discrete representations of the Weyl commutator for the $\mathrm{U}(1)$ group, preserve the unitary character of the minimal coupling, and have therefore the property of formally approximating lattice quantum electrodynamics in one spatial dimension in the large-$n$ limit. The numerical study of such approximated theories is important to determine their effectiveness in reproducing the main features and phenomenology of the target theory, in view of implementations of cold-atom quantum simulators of QED. In this paper we study the cases $n = 2 ÷8$ by means of a DMRG code that exactly implements Gauss' law. We perform a careful scaling analysis, and show that, in absence of a background field, all $\mathbb{Z}_n$ models exhibit a phase transition which falls in the Ising universality class, with spontaneous symmetry breaking of the $CP$ symmetry. We then perform the large-$n$ limit and find that the asymptotic values of the critical parameters approach the ones obtained for the known phase transition the zero-charge sector of the massive Schwinger model, which occurs at negative mass.

A Fast Frequent Directions Algorithm for Low Rank Approximation

description: Recently a deterministic method, frequent directions (FD) is proposed to solve the high dimensional low rank approximation problem. It works well in practice, but experiences high computational cost. In this paper, we establish a fast frequent directions algorithm for the low rank approximation problem, which implants a randomized algorithm, sparse subspace embedding (SpEmb) in FD. This new algorithm makes use of FD's natural block structure and sends more information through SpEmb to each block in FD. We prove that our new algorithm produces a good low rank approximation with a sketch of size linear on the rank approximated. Its effectiveness and efficiency are demonstrated by the experimental results on both synthetic and real world datasets, as well as applications in network analysis.

Detection of virial shocks in stacked Fermi-LAT clusters

description: Galaxy clusters are thought to grow by accreting mass through large-scale, strong, yet elusive, virial shocks. Such a shock is expected to accelerate relativistic electrons, thus generating a spectrally-flat leptonic virial-ring. However, until now, only the nearby Coma cluster has shown evidence for a $γ$-ray virial ring. We stack Fermi-LAT data for the 112 most massive, high latitude, extended clusters, enhancing the ring sensitivity by rescaling clusters to their virial radii and utilizing the expected flat energy spectrum. In addition to a central unresolved, hard signal (detected at the $\sim 5.8σ$ confidence level), probably dominated by AGN, we identify (at the $5.8σ$ confidence level) a bright, spectrally-flat $γ$-ray ring at the expected virial shock position. The ring signal implies that the shock deposits $\sim 0.6\%$ (with an interpretation uncertainty factor $\sim2$) of the thermal energy in relativistic electrons over a Hubble time. This result, consistent with the Coma signal, validates and calibrates the virial shock model, and indicates that the cumulative emission from such shocks significantly contributes to the diffuse extragalactic $γ$-ray and low-frequency radio backgrounds.

description: The estimation of a log-concave density on $\mathbb{R}$ is a canonical problem in the area of shape-constrained nonparametric inference. We present a Bayesian nonparametric approach to this problem based on an exponentiated Dirichlet process mixture prior and show that the posterior distribution converges to the log-concave truth at the (near-) minimax rate in Hellinger distance. Our proof proceeds by establishing a general contraction result based on the log-concave maximum likelihood estimator that prevents the need for further metric entropy calculations. We also present two computationally more feasible approximations and a more practical empirical Bayes approach, which are illustrated numerically via simulations.

description: 6d superconformal field theories (SCFTs) are the SCFTs in the highest possible dimension. They can be geometrically engineered in F-theory by compactifying on non-compact elliptic Calabi-Yau manifolds. In this paper we focus on the class of SCFTs whose base geometry is determined by $-2$ curves intersecting according to ADE Dynkin diagrams and derive the corresponding mirror Calabi-Yau manifold. The mirror geometry is uniquely determined in terms of the mirror curve which has also an interpretation in terms of the Seiberg-Witten curve of the four-dimensional theory arising from torus compactification. Adding the affine node of the ADE quiver to the base geometry, we connect to recent results on SYZ mirror symmetry for the $A$ case and provide a physical interpretation in terms of little string theory. Our results, however, go beyond this case as our construction naturally covers the $D$ and $E$ cases as well.

description: Purpose: The analysis of optimized spin ensemble trajectories for relaxometry in the hybrid state. Methods: First, we constructed visual representations to elucidate the differential equation that governs spin dynamics in hybrid state. Subsequently, numerical optimizations were performed to find spin ensemble trajectories that minimize the Cramér-Rao bound for $T_1$-encoding, $T_2$-encoding, and their weighted sum, respectively, followed by a comparison of the Cramér-Rao bounds obtained with our optimized spin-trajectories, as well as Look-Locker and multi-spin-echo methods. Finally, we experimentally tested our optimized spin trajectories with in vivo scans of the human brain. Results: After a nonrecurring inversion segment on the southern hemisphere of the Bloch sphere, all optimized spin trajectories pursue repetitive loops on the northern half of the sphere in which the beginning of the first and the end of the last loop deviate from the others. The numerical results obtained in this work align well with intuitive insights gleaned directly from the governing equation. Our results suggest that hybrid-state sequences outperform traditional methods. Moreover, hybrid-state sequences that balance $T_1$- and $T_2$-encoding still result in near optimal signal-to-noise efficiency. Thus, the second parameter can be encoded at virtually no extra cost. Conclusion: We provide insights regarding the optimal encoding processes of spin relaxation times in order to guide the design of robust and efficient pulse sequences. We find that joint acquisitions of $T_1$ and $T_2$ in the hybrid state are substantially more efficient than sequential encoding techniques.

description: Quantum coherence stemming from the superposition behaviour of a particle beyond the classical realm, serves as one of the most fundamental features in quantum mechanics. The wave-particle duality phenomenon, which shares the same origin, has a strong relationship with quantum coherence. Recently, an elegant relation between quantum coherence and path information has been theoretically derived. Here, we experimentally test such new duality by l1-norm measure and the minimum-error state discrimination. We prepare three classes of two-photon states encoded in polarisation degree of freedom, with one photon serving as the target and the other photon as the detector. We observe that wave-particle-like complementarity and Bagan's equality, defined by the duality relation between coherence and path information, is well satisfied. Our results may shed new light on the original nature of wave-particle duality and on the applications of quantum coherence as a fundamental resource in quantum technologies.

description: In this paper, we investigate the crossing statistics of speckle patterns formed in Fresnel diffraction region by a laser beam scattering through a nanofluid. We extend $zero-crossing$ statistics to assess dynamical properties of nanofluid. According to joint probability density function of laser beam fluctuation and its time derivative, theoretical framework for Gaussian and non-Gaussian regimes are revisited. We count number of crossings not only at {\it zero} level but also for all available thresholds to determine the average speed of moving particles. Using probabilistic framework in determining crossing statistics, {\it a priori} Gaussianity is not essentially considered, therefore even in presence of deviation from Gaussian fluctuation, this modified approach is capable to compute relevant quantities such as mean value of speed more precisely. Generalized total crossing which represents the weighted summation of crossings for all thresholds to quantify small deviation from Gaussian statistics is introduced. This criterion can also manipulate the contribution of noises and trends to infer reliable physical quantities. The characteristic time scale for having successive crossings at a given threshold is defined. In our experimental setup, we find that increasing sample temperature leads to more consistency between Gaussian and perturbative non-Gaussian predictions. The maximum number of crossing does not necessarily occur at mean level indicating that we should take into account other levels in addition to {\it zero} level to achieve more accurate assessments.

description: The problem of minimizing convex functionals of probability distributions is solved under the assumption that the density of every distribution is bounded from above and below. A system of sufficient and necessary first-order optimality conditions as well as a bound on the optimality gap of feasible candidate solutions are derived. Based on these results, two numerical algorithms are proposed that iteratively solve the system of optimality conditions on a grid of discrete points. Both algorithms use a block coordinate descent strategy and terminate once the optimality gap falls below the desired tolerance. While the first algorithm is conceptually simpler and more efficient, it is not guaranteed to converge for objective functions that are not strictly convex. This shortcoming is overcome in the second algorithm, which uses an additional outer proximal iteration, and, which is proven to converge under mild assumptions. Two examples are given to demonstrate the theoretical usefulness of the optimality conditions as well as the high efficiency and accuracy of the proposed numerical algorithms.

description: We present a simple $U(1)_{B_3-3L_μ}$ gauge Standard Model extension that can easily account for the anomalies in $R(K)$ and $R(K^*)$ reported by LHCb. The model is economical in its setup and particle content. Among the Standard Model fermions, only the third generation quark family and the second generation leptons transform non-trivially under the new $U(1)_{B_3-3L_μ}$ symmetry. This leads to lepton non-universality and flavor changing neutral currents involving the second and third quark families. We discuss the relevant experimental constraints and some implications.

On the self-duality of rings of integers in tame and abelian extensions

description: Let $L/K$ be a tame and Galois extension of number fields with group $G$. It is well-known that any ambiguous ideal in $L$ is locally free over $\mathcal{O}_KG$ (of rank one), and so it defines a class in the locally free class group of $\mathcal{O}_KG$, where $\mathcal{O}_K$ denotes the ring of integers of $K$. In this paper, we shall study the relationship among the classes arising from the ring of integers $\mathcal{O}_L$ of $L$, the inverse different $\mathfrak{D}_{L/K}^{-1}$ of $L/K$, and the square root of the inverse different $A_{L/K}$ of $L/K$ (if it exists), in the case that $G$ is abelian. They are naturally related because $A_{L/K}^2 = \mathfrak{D}_{L/K}^{-1} = \mathcal{O}_L^*$, and $A_{L/K}$ is special because $A_{L/K} = A_{L/K}^*$, where $*$ denotes dual with respect to the trace of $L/K$.

description: During May and June 1989, the Leicestershire Archaeological Unit conducted a small scale excavation at All Saints' Church, Lubenham. The village lies upon alluvium in the Welland Valley, approximately two miles (3km) west of Market Harborough, in south-east Leicestershire, close to the Northamptonshire border. The church itself is thought to date from c.1180, when it consisted simply of a nave and chancel. During the 170 years or so that followed, the church underwent a series of structural alterations entailing the construction of two arcades, the addition of north and south aisles, bell tower and chapels, and the enlargement of the chancel. The final alterations to the church were made in c.1547. At that time the west end of the south aisle was demolished and the west arch blocked with a new wall and a window was inserted. After that time however, the church escaped the renovation and refurbishment commonly applied to churches in the Victorian period, retaining its Georgian oak box pews. More recently the nineteenth-century floor timbers have become in need of extensive replacement in the nave and north aisle, due to severe dry rot.

description: The interaction of a thin viscous film with an elastic sheet results in coupling of pressure and deformation, which can be utilized as an actuation mechanism for surface deformations in a wide range of applications, including microfluidics, optics, and soft robotics. Implementation of such configurations inherently takes place over finite domains and often requires some pre-stretching of the sheet. Under the assumptions of strong pre-stretching and small deformations of the lubricated elastic sheet, we use the linearized Reynolds and Foppl-von Karman equations to derive closed-form analytical solutions describing the deformation in a finite domain due to external forces, accounting for both bending and tension effects. We provide a closed-form solution for the case of a square-shaped actuation region and present the effect of pre-stretching on the dynamics of the deformation. We further present the dependence of the deformation magnitude and timescale on the spatial wavenumber, as well as the transition between stretching- and bending-dominant regimes. We also demonstrate the effect of spatial discretization of the forcing (representing practical actuation elements) on the achievable resolution of the deformation. Extending the problem to an axisymmetric domain, we investigate the effects arising from nonlinearity of the Reynolds and Foppl-von Karman equations and present the deformation behavior as it becomes comparable to the initial film thickness and dependent on the induced tension. These results set the theoretical foundation for implementation of microfluidic soft actuators based on elastohydrodynanmics.

description: Abstract Objective: To identify and map candidate interventions for improving the relational environment in hospitals, targeting aspects of context identified in realist programme theory. The findings will inform recommendations co-developed with stakeholders in Kenya. Introduction: The relational environment, or how health workers communicate and interact with one another, profoundly influences behavioural norms and is fundamental to the delivery of quality patient care in hospitals. However, it has been relatively neglected in interventions aiming to improve quality of patient care. We previously reported a realist synthesis of staff social ties in hospitals, and are currently refining the programme theory using realist evaluation. To inform upcoming stakeholder co-development activities, we now seek to identify and map candidate interventions which could target important aspects of context identified as influencing relational environment. Inclusion criteria: Relevant documents from credible sources in both the academic and grey literature. Interventions must primarily focus on the relational environment of hospitals and be relevant to our realist programme theory. Documents with richest and most relevant data will be prioritised for inclusion. Methods: Ovid Embase, Ovid Medline, and EBSCOhost CINAHL will be searched with no limits for language or publication dates. Reference lists of included documents will be screened. Grey literature will be purposively searched. Screening will be conducted by a single author, with a second screening a sample of retrieved documents to check for systematic error. Data will be extracted using NVivo and analysed thematically in NVivo and Word. Identified relevant interventions will be mapped and described by emergent typology.
Remembering, Re-Modelling and Reusing: Neolithic to Anglo-Saxon Activity at Loughborough Road, Rothley, Leicestershire

description: Archaeological excavations on land west of Loughborough Road, Rothley, Leicestershire revealed significant evidence for a Neolithic round mound, constructed on high ground overlooking the confluence of the rivers Soar, Wreake and Rothley Brook. The round mound was reused in the Bronze Age, and after a period of disuse, the monument became the focus for Late Iron Age activity, including enclosures and possible human burials. The latest Iron Age phase provided rare evidence in Leicestershire for activity dating to the 'Belgic' period. In the early Anglo-Saxon period, the area around the monument was reused again and became the focus for a small inhumation cemetery. At least 14 inhumations were discovered, including evidence for a 'warrior' burial.
