description: This paper establishes the global existence and uniqueness of smooth solutions to the two-dimensional compressible magnetohydrodynamic system when the initial data is close to an equilibrium state. In addition, explicit large-time decay rates for various Sobolev norms of the solutions are also obtained. These results are achieved through a new approach of diagonalizing a system of coupled linearized equations. The standard method of diagonalization via the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the matrix symbol is very difficult to implement here. This new process allows us to obtain an integral representation of the full system through explicit kernels. In addition, in order to overcome various difficulties such as the anisotropicity and criticality, we fully exploit the structure of the integral representation and employ extremely delicate Fourier analysis and associated estimates.

description: The extended Bose-Hubbard model with correlated tunneling exhibits staggered superfluid and supersolid quantum phases. We study finite-temperature phase transitions of quantum phases of dipolar bosons in a two-dimensional optical lattice using Gutzwiller mean-field and quantum Monte Carlo approaches. When nearest-neighbor repulsion is comparable to the on-site interaction, we find that the two topologically distinct superfluids are separated by a normal fluid phase, while at stronger off-site interactions, density-modulated insulating quantum phases appear. We estimate the critical temperature of the staggered superfluid to normal fluid transition and show that this transition is of the Kosterlitz-Thouless type. Finally, we elucidate the coexistence of staggered quantum phases in the presence of an external trapping potential. Our study paves a way to observe novel staggered quantum phases in recent dipolar optical lattice experiments.

description: We investigate the issue of eigenfunction localization in random fractal lattices embedded in two dimensional Euclidean space. In the system of our interest, there is no diagonal disorder -- the disorder arises from random connectivity of non-uniformly distributed lattice sites only. By adding or removing links between lattice sites, we change the spectral dimension of a lattice but keep the fractional Hausdorff dimension fixed. From the analysis of energy level statistics obtained via direct diagonalization of finite systems, we observe that eigenfunction localization strongly depends on the spectral dimension. Conversely, we show that localization properties of the system do not change significantly while we alter the Hausdorff dimension. In addition, for low spectral dimensions, we observe superlocalization resonances and a formation of an energy gap around the center of the spectrum.

description: Context. The high-angular-resolution capability of the new-generation ground-based adaptive-optics camera SPHERE at ESO VLT allows us to assess, for the very first time, the cratering record of medium-sized (D~100-200 km) asteroids from the ground, opening the prospect of a new era of investigation of the asteroid belt's collisional history. Aims. We investigate here the collisional history of asteroid (6) Hebe and challenge the idea that Hebe may be the parent body of ordinary H chondrites, the most common type of meteorites found on Earth (~34% of the falls). Methods. We observed Hebe with SPHERE as part of the science verification of the instrument. Combined with earlier adaptive-optics images and optical light curves, we model the spin and three-dimensional (3D) shape of Hebe and check the consistency of the derived model against available stellar occultations and thermal measurements. Results. Our 3D shape model fits the images with sub-pixel residuals and the light curves to 0.02 mag. The rotation period (7.274 47 h), spin (343 deg,+47 deg), and volume-equivalent diameter (193 +/- 6km) are consistent with previous determinations and thermophysical modeling. Hebe's inferred density is 3.48 +/- 0.64 g.cm-3 , in agreement with an intact interior based on its H-chondrite composition. Using the 3D shape model to derive the volume of the largest depression (likely impact crater), it appears that the latter is significantly smaller than the total volume of close-by S-type H-chondrite-like asteroid families. Conclusions. Our results imply that (6) Hebe is not the most likely source of H chondrites. Over the coming years, our team will collect similar high-precision shape measurements with VLT/SPHERE for ~40 asteroids covering the main compositional classes, thus providing an unprecedented dataset to investigate the origin and collisional evolution of the asteroid belt.

description: We report a 51V nuclear magnetic resonance investigation of the frustrated spin-1/2 chain compound LiCuVO4, performed in pulsed magnetic fields and focused on high-field phases up to 55 T. For the crystal orientations H // c and H // b we find a narrow field region just below the magnetic saturation where the local magnetization remains uniform and homogeneous, while its value is field dependent. This behavior is the first microscopic signature of the spin-nematic state, breaking spin-rotation symmetry without generating any transverse dipolar order, and is consistent with theoretical predictions for the LiCuVO4 compound.

description: We explore the multiwavelength properties of AGN host galaxies for different classes of radio-selected AGN out to z$\lesssim$6 via a multiwavelength analysis of about 7700 radio sources in the COSMOS field. The sources were selected with the Very Large Array (VLA) at 3 GHz (10 cm) within the VLA-COSMOS 3 GHz Large Project, and cross-matched with multiwavelength ancillary data. This is the largest sample of high-redshift (z$\lesssim$6) radio sources with exquisite photometric coverage and redshift measurements available. We constructed a sample of moderate-to-high radiative luminosity AGN (HLAGN) via spectral energy distribution (SED) decomposition combined with standard X-ray and mid-infrared diagnostics. Within the remainder of the sample we further identified low-to-moderate radiative luminosity AGN (MLAGN) via excess in radio emission relative to the star formation rates in their host galaxies. We show that AGN power in HLAGN occurs predominantly in radiative form, while MLAGN display a substantial mechanical AGN luminosity component. We found significant differences in the host properties of the two AGN classes, as a function of redshift. At z$$1.5, we observed a reversal in the behaviour of the stellar mass distributions with the HLAGN populating the higher stellar mass tail. We interpret this finding as a possible hint of the downsizing of galaxies hosting HLAGN, with the most massive galaxies triggering AGN activity earlier than less massive galaxies, and then fading to MLAGN at lower redshifts. Our conclusion is that HLAGN and MLAGN samples trace two distinct galaxy and AGN populations in a wide range of redshifts, possibly resembling the radio AGN types often referred to as radiative- and jet-mode (or high- and low-excitation), respectively.

description: III-Nitride light emitting diodes (LEDs) are widely used in a range of high efficiency lighting and display applications, which have enabled significant energy savings in the last decade. Despite the wide application of GaN LEDs, transport mechanisms across InGaN/GaN heterostructures in these devices are not well-explained. Fixed polarization sheet charges at InGaN/GaN interfaces lead to large interface dipole charges, which create large potential barriers to overcome. One-dimensional models for transport across such heterostructures predict turn-on voltages that are significantly higher than that found in real devices. As a result, conventional models for transport cannot predict the performance of new designs such as for longer wavelength LEDs, or for multi-quantum well LEDs. In this work, we show that incorporating low and high Indium compositions within quantum wells at the submicron scale can provide accurate prediction of the characteristics of GaN/InGaN light emitting diodes.

description: We introduce an Interaction and Trade-off based Eco-Evolutionary Model (ITEEM), in which species are competing for common resources in a well-mixed system, and their evolution in interaction trait space is subject to a life-history trade-off between replication rate and competitive ability. We demonstrate that the strength of the trade-off has a fundamental impact on eco-evolutionary dynamics, as it imposes four phases of diversity, including a sharp phase transition. Despite its minimalism, ITEEM produces without further ad hoc features a remarkable range of observed patterns of eco-evolutionary dynamics. Most notably we find self-organization towards structured communities with high and sustainable diversity, in which competing species form interaction cycles similar to rock-paper-scissors games.

description: Research and development on the next generation wireless systems, namely 5G, has experienced explosive growth in recent years. In the physical layer (PHY), the massive multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) technique and the use of high GHz frequency bands are two promising trends for adoption. Millimeter-wave (mmWave) bands such as 28 GHz, 38 GHz, 64 GHz, and 71 GHz, which were previously considered not suitable for commercial cellular networks, will play an important role in 5G. Currently, most 5G research deals with the algorithms and implementations of modulation and coding schemes, new spatial signal processing technologies, new spectrum opportunities, channel modeling, 5G proof of concept (PoC) systems, and other system-level enabling technologies. In this paper, we first investigate the contemporary wireless user equipment (UE) hardware design, and unveil the critical 5G UE hardware design constraints on circuits and systems. On top of the said investigation and design trade-off analysis, a new, highly reconfigurable system architecture for 5G cellular user equipment, namely distributed phased arrays based MIMO (DPA-MIMO) is proposed. Finally, the link budget calculation and data throughput numerical results are presented for the evaluation of the proposed architecture.

description: Rotational shear in Sun-like stars is thought to be an important ingredient in models of stellar dynamos. Thanks to helioseismology, rotation in the Sun is characterized well, but the interior rotation profiles of other Sun-like stars are not so well constrained. Until recently, measurements of rotation in Sun-like stars have focused on the mean rotation, but little progress has been made on measuring or even placing limits on differential rotation. Using asteroseismic measurements of rotation we aim to constrain the radial shear in five Sun-like stars observed by the NASA Kepler mission: KIC004914923, KIC005184732, KIC006116048, KIC006933899, and KIC010963065. We used stellar structure models for these five stars from previous works. These models provide the mass density, mode eigenfunctions, and the convection zone depth, which we used to compute the sensitivity kernels for the rotational frequency splitting of the modes. We used these kernels as weights in a parametric model of the stellar rotation profile of each star, where we allowed different rotation rates for the radiative interior and the convective envelope. This parametric model was incorporated into a fit to the oscillation power spectrum of each of the five Kepler stars. This fit included a prior on the rotation of the envelope, estimated from the rotation of surface magnetic activity measured from the photometric variability. The asteroseismic measurements without the application of priors are unable to place meaningful limits on the radial shear. Using a prior on the envelope rotation enables us to constrain the interior rotation rate and thus the radial shear. In the five cases that we studied, the interior rotation rate does not differ from the envelope by more than approximately +/-30%. Uncertainties in the rotational splittings are too large to unambiguously determine the sign of the radial shear.

description: The paper analyzes special cyclic Jacobi methods for symmetric matrices of order $4$. Only those cyclic pivot strategies that enable full parallelization of the method are considered. These strategies, unlike the serial pivot strategies, can force the method to be very slow or very fast within one cycle, depending on the underlying matrix. Hence, for the global convergence proof one has to consider two or three adjacent cycles. It is proved that for any symmetric matrix $A$ of order~$4$ the inequality $S(A^{[2]})\leq(1-10^{-5})S(A)$ holds, where $A^{[2]}$ results from $A$ by applying two cycles of a particular parallel method. Here $S(A)$ stands for the Frobenius norm of the strictly upper-triangular part of $A$. The result holds for two special parallel strategies and implies the global convergence of the method under all possible fully parallel strategies. It is also proved that for every $ε>0$ and $n\geq4$ there exist a symmetric matrix $A(ε)$ of order $n$ and a cyclic strategy, such that upon completion of the first cycle of the appropriate Jacobi method the inequality $S(A^{[1]})> (1-ε)S(A(ε))$ holds.

description: We study the focus-focus type of monodromy in an integrable version of the Dicke model. Classical orbits forming a pinched torus represent analogues of the dynamic superradiance under conditions of a closed system. Quantum signatures of monodromy appear in lattices of expectation values of various quantities in the Hamiltonian eigenstates and are related to an excited-state quantum phase transition. We demonstrate the breakdown of these structures with an increasing strength of non-integrable perturbation.

Crash testing difference-smoothing algorithm on a large sample of simulated light curves from TDC1

Subjects: subject: Instrumentation and Methods for Astrophysics (astro-ph.IM)

description: In this work, we propose refinements to the difference-smoothing algorithm for measurement of time delay from the light curves of the images of a gravitationally lensed quasar. The refinements mainly consist of a more pragmatic approach to choose the smoothing time-scale free parameter, generation of more realistic synthetic light curves for estimation of time delay uncertainty and using a plot of normalized $χ^2$ computed over a wide range of trial time delay values to assess the reliability of a measured time delay and also for identifying instances of catastrophic failure. We rigorously tested the difference-smoothing algorithm on a large sample of more than thousand pairs of simulated light curves having known true time delays between them from the two most difficult `rungs' -- rung3 and rung4 -- of the first edition of Strong Lens Time Delay Challenge (TDC1) and found an inherent tendency of the algorithm to measure the magnitude of time delay to be higher than the true value of time delay. However, we find that this systematic bias is eliminated by applying a correction to each measured time delay according to the magnitude and sign of the systematic error inferred by applying the time delay estimator on synthetic light curves simulating the measured time delay. Following these refinements, the TDC performance metrics for the difference-smoothing algorithm are found to be competitive with those of the best performing submissions of TDC1 for both the tested `rungs'. The MATLAB codes used in this work and the detailed results are made publicly available at https://github.com/rathnakumars/difference-smoothing

description: In 1956, Freeman Dyson discovered that the practical solution of Schrödinger equation may be facilitated when one replaces the standard self-adjoint Hamiltonian $\mathfrak{h}=\mathfrak{h}^\dagger$ by its manifestly non-Hermitian isospectral avatar $H =Ω^{-1} \mathfrak{h} Ω$ with $Ω^\daggerΩ=Θ\neq I$. The standard unitary interpretation of the evolution can be then achieved either by the ``operator transformation'' (OT) reconstruction of $\mathfrak{h}$, or via a metric-amendment (MA) change of the Hilbert space, ${\cal H}_{auxiliary}\to {\cal H}_{physical}$. In our present letter we describe an alternative Hermitization of a ``hybrid form'' (HF) which simply combines the OT model-building strategy with the MA model-building strategy. The merits of the approach are illustrated using a schematic two-state quantum system.

description: We present NLO electroweak corrections to Higgs production in association with off-shell top-antitop quark pairs. The full process $\text{p}\text{p}\to\text{e}^+ν_{\text{e}} μ^-\barν_μ\text{b}\bar{\text{b}} \text{H}$ is considered, and hence all interference, off-shell, and non-resonant contributions are taken into account. The electroweak corrections turn out to be below one per cent for the integrated cross section but can exceed $10\%$ in certain phase-space regions. In addition to its phenomenological relevance, the computation constitutes a major technical achievement as the full NLO virtual corrections involving up to 9-point functions have been computed exactly. The results of the full computation are supported by two calculations in the double-pole approximation. These also allow to infer the effect of off-shell contributions and emphasise their importance especially for the run II of the LHC. Finally, we present combined predictions featuring both NLO electroweak and QCD corrections in a common set-up that will help the experimental collaborations in their quest of precisely measuring the aforementioned process.

description: We study the intermediate inflation scenario in the context of $F(T)$ gravity, and we examine it's viability by calculating the power spectrum of the primordial curvature perturbations and the corresponding spectral index. As we demonstrate, it is possible for the resulting spectral index to be compatible with the observational data and we investigate the parameter space in order to see when the compatibility with data is possible.

description: Theory and observations agree that the accreted stellar halos (ASHs) of Milky Way-like galaxies display significant scatter. I take advantage of this stochasticity to invert the link between halo assembly history (HAH) and ASH, using mock ASHs corresponding to 750 $Λ$CDM HAHs, sharing a final virial mass of $M_{h}(z=0)=10^{12.25}M_\odot$. Hosts with poor/rich ASHs assemble following orthogonal growth-patterns. Hosts with rich ASHs experience accretion events (AEs) with high virial mass ratios (HVMRs, $M_s/M_h\gtrsim 0.1$) at $0.5\lesssim z_{infall}\lesssim1.5$, in a phase of fast growth. This maximizes the accreted stellar mass under the condition these satellites are disrupted by $z=0$. At similar times, hosts with poor ASHs grow slowly through minor mergers, with only very recent HVMR AEs: this results in a globally more abundant satellite population and in distinctive surviving massive satellites (stellar mass $\log M_{s,*}/M_\odot\gtrsim 9$). Several properties of the Milky Way are in agreement with the predictions of this framework for hosts with poor, concentrated ASHs, including: i) the recent infall of Sagittarius and Magellanic Clouds, ii) the likely higher-than-average concentration of its dark halo, iii) the signatures of fast chemical enrichment of a sizable fraction of its halo stellar populations.

description: Intense, quasi-monochromatic, polarized $γ$-ray beams produced by Compton scattering of laser photons against relativistic electrons are used for fundamental studies and applications. Following a series of photoneutron cross section measurements in the Giant Dipole Resonance energy region performed at the NewSUBARU synchrotron radiation facility, we have developed the eliLaBr Monte Carlo simulation code for characterization of the scattered $γ$-ray photon beams. The code is implemented using Geant4 and is available on the GitHub repository (https://github.com/dan-mihai-filipescu/eliLaBr). Here we report the validation of the eliLaBr code on NewSUBARU LCS $γ$-ray beam flux and spectral distribution data and two applications performed with it for asymmetric transverse emittance profiles electron beams, characteristic for synchrotrons. The first application is based on a systematic investigation of transverse collimator offsets relative to the laser and electron beam axis. We show that the maximum energy of the LCS $γ$-ray beam is altered by vertical collimator offsets, where the edge shifts towards lower energies with the increase in the offset. Secondly, using the eliLaBr code, we investigate the effect of the laser polarization plane orientation on the properties of the LCS $γ$-ray beams produced with asymmetric emittance electron beams. We show that: 1. The use of vertically polarized lasers contributes to the preservation of the LCS $γ$-ray beam maximum energy edge by increasing the precision in the vertical collimator alignment. 2. Under identical conditions for the electron and laser beams phase-space distributions, the energy spectrum of the scattered LCS $γ$-ray beam changes with the laser beam polarization plane orientation: the use of vertically polarized laser beams slightly deteriorates the LCS $γ$-ray beam energy resolution.
Multiplicity Dependence of Non-extensive Parameters for Strange and Multi-Strange Particles in Proton-Proton Collisions at $\sqrt{s}= 7$ TeV at the LHC

description: The transverse momentum ($p_{\rm T}$) spectra in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 7 TeV, measured by the ALICE experiment at the LHC are analyzed with a thermodynamically consistent Tsallis distribution. The information about the freeze-out surface in terms of freeze-out volume, temperature and the non-extenisivity parameter, $q$, for $K^{0}_{S}$, $Λ+\barΛ$, $Ξ^{-}+\barΞ^{+}$ and $Ω^{-}+\barΩ^{+}$ are extracted by fitting the $p_{\rm T}$ spectra with Tsallis distribution function. The freeze-out parameters of these particles are studied as a function of charged particle multiplicity density ($dN_{ch}/dη$). In addition, we also study these parameters as a function of particle mass to see any possible mass ordering. The strange and multi-strange particles show mass ordering in volume, temperature, non-extensive parameter and also a strong dependence on multiplicity classes. It is observed that with increase in particle multiplicity, the non-extensivity parameter, $q$ decreases, which indicates the tendency of the produced system towards thermodynamic equilibration. The increase in strange particle multiplicity is observed to be due to the increase of temperature and not to the size of the freeze-out volume.

Compositional abstraction and safety synthesis using overlapping symbolic models

description: In this paper, we develop a compositional approach to abstraction and safety synthesis for a general class of discrete time nonlinear systems. Our approach makes it possible to define a symbolic abstraction by composing a set of symbolic subsystems that are overlapping in the sense that they can share some common state variables. We develop compositional safety synthesis techniques using such overlapping symbolic subsystems. Comparisons, in terms of conservativeness and of computational complexity, between abstractions and controllers obtained from different system decompositions are provided. Numerical experiments show that the proposed approach for symbolic control synthesis enables a significant complexity reduction with respect to the centralized approach, while reducing the conservatism with respect to compositional approaches using non-overlapping subsystems.
Tunable narrow-band plasmonic resonances in electromagnetically-induced-transparency media

description: The spectral response of a plasmonic nanostructure may heavily depend on the refractive index of its surroundings. The key idea of this paper is to control this response by coherent optical means, i.e. with an optically controlled electromagnetically-induced-transparency medium. In such environment, an external laser provides a knob to shift the position of plasmonic resonances without the need to change the geometry of the nanostructure. Additionally, the setup can be exploited to excite narrow-band surface plasmon polaritons.

description: This study presents intriguing research findings about using virtual reality technology to explore the relationship between imagination, memory, immersion, and interaction in the context of decision-making strategies. Specifically, it highlights the impact of perceived risk and uncertainty on rationality and addresses gaps in our understanding of this phenomenon. The study investigates the play concept as a defining characteristic of users and society, a critical theme that requires attention. It highlights the growing body of contemporary literature about the benefits of play theory in both public and scientific discourse and its potential to create more authentic, fulfilling experiences. Using game characteristics, such as action-adventure, exploration, role-playing, and strategy, in the virtual world can be an effective form of therapy, contributing to the content, depth of thinking, and range of implicit goals. Therefore, developing immersive virtual reality (IVR) environments incorporating these elements can provide a new avenue for therapeutic intervention.
Reheating constraints in quintessential inflation

description: We study the consequences of reheating in quintessential inflation. From simple inflationary quintessential models introduced in cite{hap, hap2}, we show that when the reheating is due to the production of heavy massive particles conformally coupled with gravity, a viable model which matches with the current observational data cite{Ade, Planck, bicep2} is only possible for reheating temperatures that range between $1$ GeV and $10^4$ GeV. On the other hand, when the universe reheats via the production of massless particles, the viability of the model is only possible when those particles are nearly conformally coupled with gravity, leading to a reheating temperature between $1$ MeV and $10^4$ GeV.

description: Background and objective: Understanding the circumstances in which communication breaks down during conversations involving people with hearing loss is fundamental for (1) developing assessments and rehabilitation strategies that better target functional real-world communication, and (2) for enhancing signal-processing algorithms in hearing devices. The objective of this scoping review is to uncover what is known about the interplay between hearing loss and/or background noise on communication breakdowns. Methods and analysis: We will search electronic databases (MEDLINE, PsychINFO, Web of Science (Core Collection), EMBASE, Scopus and LLBA) and reference lists of key studies for article inclusion. Two reviewers will independently screen titles and abstracts to determine eligibility for inclusion in the review. Key information will then be categorised and classified to generate a summary of study participants, methods of identification, and key outcomes. The review will apply the PRISMA extension for scoping reviews to present the results along with a narrative synthesis describing overall trends. Ethics and dissemination: Formal ethical approval was not required to undertake this scoping review. Findings will be published in scientific peer-reviewed journals and conference presentations.
