description: We show that the measured abundance of ultra-faint lensed galaxies at $z\approx 6$ in the Hubble Frontier Fields (HFF) provides stringent constraints on the parameter space of i) Dark Matter models based on keV sterile neutrinos; ii) the "fuzzy" wavelike Dark Matter models, based on Bose-Einstein condensate of ultra-light particles. For the case of the sterile neutrinos, we consider two production mechanisms: resonant production through the mixing with active neutrinos and the decay of scalar particles. For the former model, we derive constraints for the combination of sterile neutrino mass $m_ν$ and mixing parameter $\sin^2(2θ)$ which provide the tightest lower bounds on the mixing angle (and hence on the lepton asymmetry) derived so far by methods independent of baryonic physics. For the latter we compute the allowed combinations of the scalar mass, its coupling to the Higgs field, and the Yukawa coupling of the scalar to the sterile neutrinos. We compare our results to independent, existing astrophysical bounds on sterile neutrinos in the same mass range. For the case of "fuzzy" Dark Matter, we show that the observed number density $\approx 1/{\rm Mpc}^3$ of high-redshift galaxies in the HFF sets a lower limit $m_ψ\geq 8\cdot 10^{-22}$ eV (at 3-$σ$ confidence level) on the particle mass, a result that strongly disfavors wavelike bosonic Dark Matter as a viable model for structure formation. We discuss the impact on our results of uncertainties due to systematics in the selection of highly magnified, faint galaxies at high redshifts.

description: A series of furoxan derivatives of chromone were prepared. The antiproliferative activities were tested against five cancer cell lines HepG2, MCF-7, HCT-116, B16, and K562, and two normal human cell lines L-02 and PBMCs. Among them, compound 15a exhibited the most potent antiproliferative activity. It was also found 15a produced more than 8 µM of NO at the peak time of 45 min by Griess assay. Generally, antiproliferative activity is positively related to NO release to some extent. Further in-depth studies on apoptosis-related mechanisms showed that 15a caused S-phase cell cycle arrest in a concentration-dependent manner and induced apoptosis significantly through mitochondria-related pathways. Human apoptosis protein array assay also demonstrated 15a increased the expression levels of pro-apoptotic Bax, Bad, HtrA2 and Trail R2/DR5. The expression of catalase and cell cycle blocker claspin were similarly up-regulated. In balance, 15a induced K562 cells death through both endogenous and exogenous pathways.
Sustained sensorimotor control as intermittent decisions about prediction errors: Computational framework and application to ground vehicle steering

description: A conceptual and computational framework is proposed for modelling of human sensorimotor control, and is exemplified for the sensorimotor task of steering a car. The framework emphasises control intermittency, and extends on existing models by suggesting that the nervous system implements intermittent control using a combination of (1) motor primitives, (2) prediction of sensory outcomes of motor actions, and (3) evidence accumulation of prediction errors. It is shown that approximate but useful sensory predictions in the intermittent control context can be constructed without detailed forward models, as a superposition of simple prediction primitives, resembling neurobiologically observed corollary discharges. The proposed mathematical framework allows straightforward extension to intermittent behaviour from existing one-dimensional continuous models in the linear control and ecological psychology traditions. Empirical observations from a driving simulator provide support for some of the framework assumptions: It is shown that human steering control, in routine lane-keeping and in a demanding near-limit task, is better described as a sequence of discrete stepwise steering adjustments, than as continuous control. Furthermore, the amplitudes of individual steering adjustments are well predicted by a compound visual cue signalling steering error, and even better so if also adjusting for predictions of how the same cue is affected by previous control. Finally, evidence accumulation is shown to explain observed covariability between inter-adjustment durations and adjustment amplitudes, seemingly better so than the type of threshold mechanisms that are typically assumed in existing models of intermittent control.

description: Deep reinforcement learning has achieved many impressive results in recent years. However, tasks with sparse rewards or long horizons continue to pose significant challenges. To tackle these important problems, we propose a general framework that first learns useful skills in a pre-training environment, and then leverages the acquired skills for learning faster in downstream tasks. Our approach brings together some of the strengths of intrinsic motivation and hierarchical methods: the learning of useful skill is guided by a single proxy reward, the design of which requires very minimal domain knowledge about the downstream tasks. Then a high-level policy is trained on top of these skills, providing a significant improvement of the exploration and allowing to tackle sparse rewards in the downstream tasks. To efficiently pre-train a large span of skills, we use Stochastic Neural Networks combined with an information-theoretic regularizer. Our experiments show that this combination is effective in learning a wide span of interpretable skills in a sample-efficient way, and can significantly boost the learning performance uniformly across a wide range of downstream tasks.

description: High tunnels are a low-cost technology that can strengthen local and regional food systems by facilitating the production of high-quality fruits and vegetables during and beyond the frost-free growing season. The potential for high tunnels to improve crop quality and yield has been established with research trials, but there is a lack of research on the farm-level impacts of high tunnels, or comparisons between organic and conventional farming systems. This survey of high tunnel users in the U.S. Midwest state of Indiana finds that farmers have been successful with extending the growing season, as nearly half of the respondents are now harvesting in the cooler months and planting earlier in the spring. Farmers also reported significant increases in the productivity and quality of their crops year-round, and improvement in their farm’s economic stability. Farm-level impacts were similar for farmers using organic and conventional farming practices, although farmers using organic practices were more likely to increase their off-season production than their conventional counterparts. Overall, high tunnels hold potential as a tool for increasing the availability of fresh vegetables and fruits for local food systems, thus increasing the viability of Midwest farms.

description: Purpose: Patient-Reported Outcomes (PROs) and its measures (PROMs) are key to outcome assessment in Fibromyalgia (FM) trials. The aim of this review was to investigate which domains and instruments were assessed in recent FM trials and to compare them to recommendations by the Outcome Measures in Rheumatology (OMERACT) initiative. In addition, we investigated the overlap with a generic health assessment approach, i.e. eight domains suggested by the Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (R) (PROMIS (R)). Methods: In compliance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, a systematic literature search in scientific databases including PubMed, PsycInfo, and Embase was conducted to identify studies that assessed at least two dimensions of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) from 2015 to June 2022. Non-randomized and randomized controlled trials were included in the analysis. We extracted PROs and PROMs used in each study. Results: From 1845 identified records, 107 records out of 105 studies met the inclusion criteria. Studies investigated 50 PROs using 126 different PROMs. Most frequently assessed domains were pain, depression, fatigue, and anxiety (> 95% of the studies). The disease-specific FIQ was the most frequently applied PROM (82%). Overall, only 9% of the studies covered all domains deemed mandatory by OMERACT. Very few studies covered all eight generic health domains suggested by PROMIS. Conclusion: The majority of trials covered most OMERACT domains or generic PROMIS health domains. There was, however, great variability in the instruments used to assess the domains, which points at a limited degree of standardization in the field.

description: This paper derives the arbitrary order globally hyperbolic moment system for a non-linear kinetic description of the Vicsek swarming model by using the operator projection. It is built on our careful study of a family of the complicate Grad type orthogonal functions depending on a parameter (angle of macroscopic velocity). We calculate their derivatives with respect to the independent vari- able, and projection of those derivatives, the product of velocity and basis, and collision term. The moment system is also proved to be hyperbolic, rotational invariant, and mass-conservative. The relationship between Grad type expansions in different parameter is also established. A semi-implicit numerical scheme is presented to solve a Cauchy problem of our hyperbolic moment system in order to verify the convergence behavior of the moment method. It is also compared to the spectral method for the kinetic equation. The results show that the solutions of our hyperbolic moment system converge to the solutions of the kinetic equation for the Vicsek model as the order of the moment system increases, and the moment method can capture key features such as rarefaction and shock waves, contact discontinuity, and vortex formation.

description: A major difficulty in quantum simulation is the adequate treatment of a large collection of entangled particles, synonymous with electron correlation in electronic structure theory, with coupled cluster (CC) theory being the leading framework in dealing with this problem. Augmenting computationally affordable low-rank approximations in CC theory with a perturbative account of higher-rank excitations is a tractable and effective way of accounting for the missing electron correlation in those approximations. This is perhaps best exemplified by the "gold standard" CCSD(T) method, which bolsters the baseline CCSD with effects of triple excitations using considerations from many-body perturbation theory (MBPT). Despite this established success, such a synergy between MBPT and the unitary analog of CC theory (UCC) has not been explored. In this work, we propose a similar approach wherein converged UCCSD amplitudes, which can be obtained on a quantum computer, are leveraged by a classical computer to evaluate energy corrections associated with triple excitations - leading to the UCCSD[T] and UCCSD(T*) methods. The rationale behind these choices is shown to be rigorous by studying the properties of finite-order UCC energy functionals. Although our efforts do not support the addition of the fifth-order contribution as in the (T) correction, comparisons are nevertheless made using a hybrid UCCSD(T) approach. We assess the performance of these approaches on a collection of small molecules, and demonstrate the benefits of harnessing the inherent synergy between MBPT and UCC theories.

description: Chemoresistance in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) frequently contributes to failure of systemic therapy. While the radiosensitizing properties of 5-fluorouracil (FU) are well known, it is unknown whether ionizing radiation (IR) sensitizes towards FU cytotoxicity. Here, we hypothesize that upregulation of thymidine phosphorylase (TP) by IR reverses FU chemoresistance in PDAC cells. The FU resistant variant of the human PDAC cell line AsPC-1 (FU-R) was used to determine the sensitizing effects of IR. Proliferation rates of FU sensitive parental (FU-S) and FU-R cells were determined by WST-1 assays after low (0.05 Gy) and intermediate dose (2.0 Gy) IR followed by FU treatment. TP protein expression in PDAC cells before and after IR was assessed by Western blot. To analyze the specificity of the FU sensitizing effect, TP was ablated by siRNA. FU-R cells showed a 2.7-fold increase of the half maximal inhibitory concentration, compared to FU-S parental cells. Further, FU-R cells showed a concomitant IR resistance towards both doses applied. When challenging both cell lines with FU after IR, FU-R cells had lower proliferation rates than FU-S cells, suggesting a reversal of chemoresistance by IR. This FU sensitizing effect was abolished when TP was blocked by anti-TP siRNA before IR. An increase of TP protein expression was seen after both IR doses. Our results suggest a TP dependent reversal of FU-chemoresistance in PDAC cells that is triggered by IR. Thus, induction of TP expression by low dose IR may be a therapeutic approach to potentially overcome FU chemoresistance in PDAC.

description: Abstract

Many successful ready-to-eat food entrepreneurs in the online market Provide their customers with delicious  food, new and affordable and speedy service Presently, due to the high competition caused by a large number of new entrepreneurs, those who lack knowledge of online marketing often struggle to succeed. Since marketing is  constantly changing, businesses must be agile and develop their organization to stay competitive. This research aims to 1) examine the level of development of personal capabilities, digital marketing strategy, management innovation, organization agile and online marketing success of the ready-to-eat food entrepreneurs in Thailand, ; 2) explore the influence of the development of personal capabilities, digital marketing strategy, management innovation and organization agile towards online marketing success of the ready-to-eat food entrepreneurs in Thailand, ; and 3) develop the online marketing successful model of ready-to-eat food entrepreneurs in Thailand. The study employed a mixed research methodology consisting of quantitative and qualitative approaches. The quantitative aspect involved a, sample group was of 400 ready-to-eat food exporters,  with the sample size determined based on the 20-time criteria of the observed variables through the multiple-stage sampling. Data collection was conducted through questionnaires, which  were later analyzed using   structural equation modeling. For the qualitative aspect, 20 ready-to-eat food entrepreneurs and experts in Thailand were interviewed in-depth as primary informants. The findings revealed that 1) the level of development of personal capabilities, digital marketing strategy, management innovation, organization agile, and online marketing success of the ready-to-eat food entrepreneurs in Thailand were all at a high level, ; 2) the development of personal capabilities, digital marketing strategy, management innovation and organization agile influenced  online marketing success of the ready-to-eat food entrepreneurs in Thailand at a statistical significance level of .05, ; and 3) the online marketing successful model of ready-to-eat food entrepreneurs in Thailand, as developed by the researcher, was called the “PCOA Model” (Development of Personal Capabilities and Development of the Organization Agile for Successful Ready-to-Eat Food Products in Thailand). Based on the qualitative findings, it is crucially for ready-to-eat food entrepreneurs in Thailand to respond to changes in customer behaviors by continuously improving their packaging, taste, and variety of products in accordance with  customer demands. These findings can serve as a valuable guideline for establishing effective business policies to enhance the online marketing success of such  entrepreneurs in Thailand.

description: Given two nonempty and disjoint intersections of closed and convex subsets, we look for a best approximation pair relative to them, i.e., a pair of points, one in each intersection, attaining the minimum distance between the disjoint intersections. We propose an iterative process based on projections onto the subsets which generate the intersections. The process is inspired by the Halpern-Lions-Wittmann-Bauschke algorithm and the classical alternating process of Cheney and Goldstein, and its advantage is that there is no need to project onto the intersections themselves, a task which can be rather demanding. We prove that under certain conditions the two interlaced subsequences converge to a best approximation pair. These conditions hold, in particular, when the space is Euclidean and the subsets which generate the intersections are compact and strictly convex. Our result extends the one of Aharoni, Censor and Jiang ["Finding a best approximation pair of points for two polyhedra'', Computational Optimization and Applications 71 (2018), 509--523] who considered the case of finite-dimensional polyhedra.

description: Recent research shows that most Brazilian students have serious problems regarding their reading skills. The full development of this skill is key for the academic and professional future of every citizen. Tools for classifying the complexity of reading materials for children aim to improve the quality of the model of teaching reading and text comprehension. For English, Fengs work [11] is considered the state-of-art in grade level prediction and achieved 74% of accuracy in automatically classifying 4 levels of textual complexity for close school grades. There are no classifiers for nonfiction texts for close grades in Portuguese. In this article, we propose a scheme for manual annotation of texts in 5 grade levels, which will be used for customized reading to avoid the lack of interest by students who are more advanced in reading and the blocking of those that still need to make further progress. We obtained 52% of accuracy in classifying texts into 5 levels and 74% in 3 levels. The results prove to be promising when compared to the state-of-art work.9

Open spin chains with dynamic lattice supersymmetry

Subjects: subject: Mathematical Physics (math-ph)

description: The quantum spin $1/2$ XXZ chain with anisotropy parameter $Δ=-1/2$ possesses a dynamic supersymmetry on the lattice. This supersymmetry and a generalisation to higher spin are investigated in the case of open spin chains. A family of non-diagonal boundary interactions that are compatible with the lattice supersymmetry and depend on several parameters is constructed. The cohomology of the corresponding supercharges is explicitly computed as a function of the parameters and the length of the chain. For certain specific values of the parameters, this cohomology is shown to be non-trivial. This implies that the spin-chain ground states are supersymmetry singlets. Special scalar products involving an arbitrary number of these supersymmetry singlets for chains of different lengths are exactly computed. As a physical application, the logarithmic bipartite fidelity of the open quantum spin $1/2$ XXZ chain with $Δ=-1/2$ and special diagonal boundary interactions is determined.

description: In spite of recent advances in field delineation methods, bibliometricians still don't know the extent to which their topic detection algorithms reconstruct `ground truths', i.e. thematic structures in the scientific literature. In this paper, we demonstrate a new approach to the delineation of thematic structures that attempts to match the algorithm to theoretically derived and empirically observed properties all thematic structures have in common. We cluster citation links rather than publication nodes, use predominantly local information and search for communities of links starting from seed subgraphs in order to allow for pervasive overlaps of topics. We evaluate sets of links with a new cost function and assume that local minima in the cost landscape correspond to link communities. Because this cost landscape has many local minima we define a valid community as the community with the lowest minimum within a certain range. Since finding all valid communities is impossible for large networks, we designed a memetic algorithm that combines probabilistic evolutionary strategies with deterministic local searches. We apply our approach to a network of about 15,000 Astronomy & Astrophysics papers published 2010 and their cited sources, and to a network of about 100,000 Astronomy & Astrophysics papers (published 2003--2010) which are linked through direct citations.

description: Semantic Role Labeling (SRL) is a Natural Language Processing task that enables the detection of events described in sentences and the participants of these events. For Brazilian Portuguese (BP), there are two studies recently concluded that perform SRL in journalistic texts. [1] obtained F1-measure scores of 79.6, using the PropBank.Br corpus, which has syntactic trees manually revised, [8], without using a treebank for training, obtained F1-measure scores of 68.0 for the same corpus. However, the use of manually revised syntactic trees for this task does not represent a real scenario of application. The goal of this paper is to evaluate the performance of SRL on revised and non-revised syntactic trees using a larger and balanced corpus of BP journalistic texts. First, we have shown that [1]'s system also performs better than [8]'s system on the larger corpus. Second, the SRL system trained on non-revised syntactic trees performs better over non-revised trees than a system trained on gold-standard data.

description: Background: The insufficient quality of external post-mortem examination of the corpse as well as the documentation of death certificates (DCs) have long been the subject of controversial discussions in the literature. Frequently criticized are faulty or implausible causal chains and a falsely attested natural mode of death. Objective: It was investigated which type of death was attested by the responsible physician in the case of an unknown or inexactly determined cause of death and how often an autopsy at the institute for forensic medicine was carried out in these cases. Method: The confidential and non-confidential parts of all DCs in the second quarter of 2013 of the city of Munich were screened in a standardized manner and statistically analyzed. Results: The study comprised a total of 3228 DCs. Out of all cases, 900 DCs (27.9%) were classified under Ia and 462 cases (14.3%) under Ic as an unknown or inexactly determined cause of death. Despite being certified as an unknown cause of death, 4,0% of these cases were assigned a natural death. Autopsies were performed far more often for cases with unknown cause of death (Ia: 52.0% and Ic: 52.1%, respectively) than in cases with an inexactly determined cause of death (Ia: 5.2% and Ic: 7.5%, respectively). Discussion: In most cases, the responsible physician attested the correct manner of death in the case of an unknown cause of death (96.0%) but in 4.0% they also falsely certified a natural manner of death at the same time. This has far-reaching consequences, especially in terms of criminal proceedings, since if a natural death is reported, the investigating authorities are not notified with the aim of clarifying the circumstances of the death. At this point, there is a risk of a recording gap for non-natural deaths.

description: While small, Neptune-like planets are among the most abundant exoplanets, our understanding of their atmospheric structure and dynamics remains sparse. In particular, many unknowns remain on the way moist convection works in these atmospheres where condensable species are heavier than the non-condensable background gas. While it has been predicted that moist convection could shut-down above some threshold abundance of these condensable species, this prediction is based on simple linear analysis and relies on strong assumptions on the saturation of the atmosphere. To investigate this issue, we develop a 3D cloud resolving model for H2 atmospheres with large amounts of condensable species and apply this model to a prototypical temperate Neptune-like planet -- K2-18b. Our model confirms the shut-down of moist convection and the onset of a stably stratified layer in the atmosphere, leading to much hotter deep atmospheres and interiors. Our 3D simulations further provide quantitative estimates of the turbulent mixing in this stable layer, which is a key driver of the cycling of condensables in the atmosphere. This allows us to build a very simple, yet realistic 1D model that captures the most salient features of the structure of Neptune-like atmospheres. Our qualitative findings on the behavior of moist convection in hydrogen atmospheres go beyond temperate planets and should also apply to the regions where iron and silicates condense in the deep interior of H2-dominated planets. Finally, we use our model to investigate the likelihood of a liquid ocean beneath a H2 dominated atmosphere on K2-18b. We find that the planet would need to have a very high albedo (>0.5-0.6) to sustain a liquid ocean. However, due to the spectral type of the star, the amount of aerosol scattering that would be needed to provide such a high albedo is inconsistent with the latest observational data.

MRI in axial spondyloarthritis: understanding an ‘ASAS-positive MRI’ and the ASAS classification criteria

description: In 2009, the Assessment of SpondyloArthritis international Society (ASAS) published a definition of 'active sacroiliitis on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for classification of axial spondyloarthritis'. This new definition of an 'ASAS-positive MRI' was integral to new classification criteria for axial spondyloarthritis that were published in the same year. The ASAS MRI definition had the considerable advantage of simplicity and the definition gained popularity as guidance for interpreting MRI of the sacroiliac joints in clinical practice. However, classification criteria are not designed for use in clinical practice with the consequence that overreliance on the presence of bone marrow edema, which is the principal determinant of an 'ASAS-positive MRI', may result in a tendency to overcall inflammatory sacroiliitis in the clinical setting. This article aims to inform the reader about the rationale behind the ASAS definition of a positive MRI and ASAS classification criteria, their proper use in research and why they should not be used in clinical practice. The article also contains guidance for an updated imaging protocol and interpretation of images including typical imaging findings, differential diagnosis, and common pitfalls.
When travel matters: opportunities, barriers and policy options for workplace travel management in Sydney

description: The way we travel matters. The transport mode we choose enables us to fulfil our needs and meet our daily requirements as we move from place to place. The car, as the dominant transport mode in most cities internationally, affords us considerable mobility and flexibility. It allows us to moderate spatial and temporal limitations in carrying out our travel routines, thus providing a functional and convenient way of moving about. However, the negative consequences of excessive car use also matter. Car dependence in cities gives rise to various environmental, economic, human health and social implications, requiring urban planners and policy makers to consider ways to address these negative externalities. -- In Sydney, an increasingly populous, multicentric and car dependent city, urban planning policy continues to focus on improved public transport infrastructure and service delivery as means to achieving car reduction objectives - hence demonstrating a predisposition to supply-side initiatives. Initiatives that seek to reduce demand for travel, including Workplace Travel Management (WTM), have received considerably less attention, despite being embraced by strategic planning frameworks for more than a decade. WTM incorporates a system of policy interventions aimed at travel behaviour modification of employees within trip generating organisations (workplaces) to reduce, or increase the efficiency of, car use for journeys to, from and at work. As such, it offers a possible approach to reducing commuting and work-related travel that may contribute to broader planning policies seeking to address excessive car use in urban environments. -- This thesis considers the potential development and implementation of a centrally administered, citywide WTM programme in Sydney. It explores the domains in which such a programme would operate, and garners the perspectives of primary system actors within these domains as to opportunities for, and barriers to, more comprehensive WTM planning practice in Sydney. The thesis aspires to a deeper understanding of the WTM policy environment and the diversity and interdependence of actors and their contexts - as these factors ultimately determine programme operation and outcomes. This thesis reveals a highly complex policy environment for WTM and proposes a resilience framework as a means to better understand and negotiate that complexity.

description: We present linear polarization measurements of nearby FGK dwarfs to parts-per-million (ppm) precision. Before making any allowance for interstellar polarization, we found that the active stars within the sample have a mean polarization of 28.5 +/- 2.2 ppm while the inactive stars have a mean of 9.6 +/- 1.5 ppm. Amongst inactive stars we initially found no difference between debris disk host stars (9.1 +/- 2.5 ppm) and the other FGK dwarfs (9.9 +/- 1.9 ppm). We develop a model for the magnitude and direction of interstellar polarization for nearby stars. When we correct the observations for the estimated interstellar polarization we obtain 23.0 +/-2.2 ppm for the active stars, 7.8 +/- 2.9 ppm for the inactive debris disk host stars and 2.9 +/- 1.9 ppm for the other inactive stars. The data indicates that whilst some debris disk host stars are intrinsically polarized most inactive FGK dwarfs have negligible intrinsic polarization, but that active dwarfs have intrinsic polarization at levels ranging up to ~45 ppm. We briefly consider a number of mechanisms, and suggest differential saturation of spectral lines in the presence of magnetic fields is the best able to explain the polarization seen in active dwarfs. The results have implications for current attempts to detect polarized reflected light from hot Jupiters by looking at the combined light of the star and planet.

description: Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of sacubitril-valsartan (SV) on central apneas (CA) and obstructive apneas (OA) in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Methods: In patients with HFrEF, SV initiation was titrated to the highest tolerable dosage. Patients were evaluated with portable apnea monitoring, echocardiography, and cardiopulmonary exercise testing at baseline and 3 months later. Results: Of a total of 18 patients, 9 (50%) had OA, 7 (39%) had CA, and 2 (11%) had normal breathing. SV therapy was related to a reduction in NT-pro BNP and an improvement in LV function after 3 months. Portable apnea monitoring revealed a significant decrease of the respiratory event index (REI) after treatment with SV (20 +/- 23 events/h to 7 +/- 7 events/h, p = 0.003). When subgrouping according to type of apneas, REI, and time spent below 90% saturation (T90) decreased in patients with CA and OA (all p < 0.05). Conclusion: In this prospective study, SV treatment for 3 months in patients with CA and OA is associated with a significant decrease in REI.

description: We construct (2+1)-dimensional lattice systems, which we call fusion surface models. These models have finite non-invertible symmetries described by general fusion 2-categories. Our method can be applied to build microscopic models with, for example, anomalous or non-anomalous one-form symmetries, 2-group symmetries, or non-invertible one-form symmetries that capture non-abelian anyon statistics. The construction of these models generalizes the construction of the 1+1d anyon chains formalized by Aasen, Fendley, and Mong. Along with the fusion surface models, we also obtain the corresponding three-dimensional classical statistical models, which are 3d analogues of the 2d Aasen-Fendley-Mong height models. In the construction, the "symmetry TFTs" for fusion 2-category symmetries play an important role.
