Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We construct a mesoscale model of colloidal suspensions that contain solutes reversibly adsorbing onto the colloidal particle surfaces. The present model describes the coupled dynamics of the colloidal particles, the host fluid, and the solutes through the Newton-Euler equations of motion, the hydrodynamic equations, and the advection-diffusion equation, respectively. The solute adsorption is modeled through a square-well potential, which represents a short-range attractive interaction between a particle and a solute molecule. The present model is formulated to be solved through direct numerical simulations. Some numerical results are presented to validate the simulations. The present model enables investigations of solute adsorption effects in the presence of a fluid flow and an inhomogeneous solute concentration distribution.

description: Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian local ring with residue field $k$. We show that if a finite direct sum of syzygy modules of $k$ surjects onto `a semidualizing module' or `a non-zero maximal Cohen-Macaulay module of finite injective dimension', then $R$ is regular. We also prove that $R$ is regular if and only if some syzygy module of $k$ has a non-zero direct summand of finite injective dimension.

subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Spectral clustering is a novel clustering method which can detect complex shapes of data clusters. However, it requires the eigen decomposition of the graph Laplacian matrix, which is proportion to $O(n^3)$ and thus is not suitable for large scale systems. Recently, many methods have been proposed to accelerate the computational time of spectral clustering. These approximate methods usually involve sampling techniques by which a lot information of the original data may be lost. In this work, we propose a fast and accurate spectral clustering approach using an approximate commute time embedding, which is similar to the spectral embedding. The method does not require using any sampling technique and computing any eigenvector at all. Instead it uses random projection and a linear time solver to find the approximate embedding. The experiments in several synthetic and real datasets show that the proposed approach has better clustering quality and is faster than the state-of-the-art approximate spectral clustering methods.

description: Let p be a prime number and f an overconvergent p-adic automorphic form on a definite unitary group which is split at p. Assume that f is of "classical weight" and that its Galois representation is crystalline at places dividing p, then f is conjectured to be a classical automorphic form. We prove new cases of this conjecture in arbitrary dimension by making crucial use of the "patched eigenvariety".
Remarks on the thermodynamics and the vacuum energy of a quantum Maxwell gas on compact and closed manifolds
Creators: name: Kelnhofer, Gerald
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The quantum Maxwell theory at finite temperature at equilibrium is studied on compact and closed manifolds in both the functional integral- and Hamiltonian formalism. The aim is to shed some light onto the interrelation between the topology of the spatial background and the thermodynamic properties of the system. The quantization is not unique and gives rise to inequivalent quantum theories which are classified by θ-vacua. Based on explicit parametrizations of the gauge orbit space in the functional integral approach and of the physical phase space in the canonical quantization scheme, the Gribov problem is resolved and the equivalence of both quantization schemes is elucidated. Using zeta-function regularization the free energy is determined and the effect of the topology of the spatial manifold on the vacuum energy and on the thermal gauge field excitations is clarified. The general results are then applied to a quantum Maxwell gas on a n-dimensional torus providing explicit formulae for the main thermodynamic functions in the low- and high temperature regimes, respectively.

Because of the nature of the proof we can then apply the concepts to so-called complex oscillations (or 'algorithmically random Brownian motion'), showing that their rapid points have the same dimension.

description: Many practitioners experience dissonance between the potential of their field and the realities of practice as defined by status-quo conventions. The forces that shape practice create inefficiencies, barriers to opportunity, and amplify contingency across the built environment. This work aims to establish a new mode of practice that can flow around the status-quo, with the extended goal of accessing a means to impact problems on a systemic plane. This dissertation follows a practice-based design science research methodology. Beginning with a critical dissection of the architectural profession, it progresses via a series of representational and reflective tools that illustrate an emergent framework for the ‘creative project’: the conception, design, and implementation of a novel strategic design practice, called ‘Future Workshop’ (FW). This is developed in parallel with (and in contrast to) an existing architectural practice (DWA). The strategic design approach synthesizes new professional methods from architecture and other disciplines, allowing client organizations to target higher-order problems upstream of typical design engagements, focusing the impact of future design efforts on the most important goals and priorities. The research traverses the tensions between the pragmatic and intellectual hemispheres of practice and establishes metrics for considering these abstract problems through a particular series of diagrams and representational tokens, or ‘glyphs’. The contribution of this work is multivalent, including a novel way of operating a design practice (FW), and new means of inquiry, proposing situated methodologies for research within professional practice.

description: Students taking introductory physics are rarely exposed to computational modeling. In a one-semester large lecture introductory calculus-based mechanics course at Georgia Tech, students learned to solve physics problems using the VPython programming environment. During the term 1357 students in this course solved a suite of fourteen computational modeling homework questions delivered using an online commercial course management system. Their proficiency with computational modeling was evaluated in a proctored environment using a novel central force problem. The majority of students (60.4%) successfully completed the evaluation. Analysis of erroneous student-submitted programs indicated that a small set of student errors explained why most programs failed. We discuss the design and implementation of the computational modeling homework and evaluation, the results from the evaluation and the implications for instruction in computational modeling in introductory STEM courses.

description: This Doctor of Design thesis introduces BAAKFIL, a new paradigm to address the housing crisis in Canada with a focus in Edmonton, Alberta. My research objective is to explore a practice-based solution through a new business model and an architectural design tool-kit to illustrate how this model can be applied. BAAKFIL demonstrates how it is possible to address land cost to increase affordability. It promotes gentle densification of mature neighborhoods, in response to socio-cultural needs, demographics and sustainable community revitalization. A new business model about equity leveraging unlocks underutilized land; where an owner partners with a developer by putting up backyard space for development while retaining tenure in the original house and property. The developer builds new housing without purchasing or financing land. Land cost is removed from the project proforma, substantially reducing development costs and instantly increasing affordability for the consumer. This is a scalable solution across Canada. The BAAKFIL Design Tool-kit gives agency to the landowner (who continues to live in place) in promoting the design of sustainable and respectful architecture, responsive to neighborhood context. Broader conclusions are included about density, the micro-community and sustainable, resilient cities. BAAKFIL improves the ecology of urban neighborhoods by advocating the revitalization of city alleys. BAAKFIL is an acronym for Back Alley Advantage, Kinship, Family & Integrated Living. It is a densification model that supports the preservation of existing housing and population growth at the same time. BAAKFIL integrates innovation within the housing industry at a societal scale. It positions the architect inside the housing question. With gentle densification of mature neighborhoods over time, BAAKFIL increases affordability with redeeming socio-cultural value.
The impact of intangible intensity on the amount and quality of accruals, the tone of narrative disclosures, and the stock of capital assets

description: My dissertation consists of three studies about the impact of intangible intensity on the amount and quality of accruals, the tone of narrative disclosures, and the stock of capital assets. In my first study, presented in Chapter 2, I examine whether the amounts of accruals, their composition (components such as working capital, long-term, conditionally conservative, nonarticulating, and financial accruals), and their properties (alleviating timing difference between the occurrence of economic events and cash flows, as well as accruals’ ability to predict cash flows and earnings) differ for knowledge versus physical firms. I find that, as a percentage of assets and revenues, the absolute value of accruals is larger for knowledge firms than for physical firms. This pattern indicates that accounting for knowledge firms requires at least as much judgment and estimates as for physical firms. Meanwhile, accruals’ timing mitigating role is more prone to estimation errors for knowledge firms. Despite higher errors, knowledge firms’ accruals are as predictive of future earnings and cash flows as for physical firms, at least by the time knowledge firms become large and mature. This study contributes to the ongoing debate on the changing usefulness of accrual accounting vis-à-vis cash accounting, as the composition of listed firms shifts toward knowledge firms. I show that accrual accounting remains prevalent and useful despite this shift. In my second study, presented in Chapter 3, I estimate investment and maintenance portions of research and development (R&D) and MainSG&A (SG&A minus R&D), and their amortization rates, on an industry-year–specific basis. My modified book value, inclusive of capitalized intangibles, exhibits greater association with future returns, investments, and bankruptcies, relative to as-reported and mechanically estimated book values. I provide a better estimate of book values of assets and equity for consumers of financial statements. In my third study, presented in Chapter 4, I develop a model that uses the level of uncertainty in the narrative disclosures of the loss-reporting firms to predict their future earnings. I find that the level of uncertainty in narrative disclosures contains incremental information about the future performance of the loss-reporting firms. This information is economically significant as a size-adjusted hedged portfolio based on this information provides abnormal returns. In additional analysis, I find that the level of uncertainty in the narrative disclosures is more informative for young firms and those that report special items and research and development expenditures.

description: We analyse photoproduction of eta mesons off the proton in a gauge-invariant chiral unitary framework. The interaction kernel for meson-baryon scattering is derived from the leading order chiral effective Lagrangian and iterated in a Bethe-Salpeter equation. The recent precise threshold data from the Crystal Ball at MAMI can be described rather well and the complex pole corresponding to the S11(1535) is extracted. An extension of the kernel is also discussed.

description: Excerpts from the report: Because of the rapid expansion and the increase in importance of flat storage in recent years, Farmer Cooperative Service and Kansas State University made this study to provide information to those planning new storage and to those desiring cost estimates of flat-storage facilities. The cost data in this report should apply generally to flat-storage facilities throughout the Midwest. Allowance was made for recent increases in building costs to arrive at the estimated cost figures. The purpose of this report is (1) to indicate the role and development of flat-type facilities in meeting the needs of Kansas producers for grain-storage space, and (2) to analyze the costs of storing in flat facilities.

description: It is expected that black holes are formed dynamically under the gravitational collapses and approach to the stationary states. In this paper, we show that the asymptotic Killing vector at late time should exist on the horizon and then that it can be extended to the out of black holes under the assumption of the analyticity of spacetimes. This fact implies that if there is another asymptotic Killing vector which becomes stationary Killing at far region and spacelike in "ergoregion", the rotating black holes may have the asymptotically axisymmetric Killing vector at late time. Thus, we may expect that the asymptotic rigidity of the black holes holds.

description: The interleaving of chaos and cryptography has been the aim of a large set of works since the beginning of the nineties. Many encryption proposals have been introduced to improve conventional cryptography. However, many proposals possess serious problems according to the basic requirements for the secure exchange of information. In this paper we highlight some of the main problems of chaotic cryptography by means of the analysis of a very recent chaotic cryptosystem based on a one round Substitution Permutation Network. More specifically, we show that it is not possible to avoid the security problems of that encryption architecture just by including a chaotic system as core of the derived encryption system.

description: Let $F$ be a totally real field in which $p$ is unramified. Let $\overline{r}: G_F \rightarrow \mathrm{GL}_2(\overline{\mathbb{F}}_p)$ be a modular Galois representation which satisfies the Taylor--Wiles hypotheses and is tamely ramified and generic at a place $v$ above $p$. Let $\mathfrak{m}$ be the corresponding Hecke eigensystem. We describe the $\mathfrak{m}$-torsion in the mod $p$ cohomology of Shimura curves with full congruence level at $v$ as a $\mathrm{GL}_2(k_v)$-representation. In particular, it only depends on $\overline{r}|_{I_{F_v}}$ and its Jordan--Hölder factors appear with multiplicity one. The main ingredients are a description of the submodule structure for generic $\mathrm{GL}_2(\mathbb{F}_q)$-projective envelopes and the multiplicity one results of \cite{EGS}.

description: The phase diagram of hydrogen is one of the most important challenges in high-pressure physics and astrophysics. Especially, the melting of dense hydrogen is complicated by dimer dissociation, metallization and nuclear quantum effect of protons, which together lead to a cold melting of dense hydrogen when above 500 GPa. Nonetheless, the variation of the melting curve at higher pressures is virtually uncharted. Here we report that using ab initio molecular dynamics and path integral simulations based on density functional theory, a new atomic phase is discovered, which gives an uplifting melting curve of dense hydrogen when beyond 2 TPa, and results in a reentrant solid-liquid transition before entering the Wigner crystalline phase of protons. The findings greatly extend the phase diagram of dense hydrogen, and put metallic hydrogen into the group of alkali metals, with its melting curve closely resembling those of lithium and sodium.

description: Excerpts from the report: This study seeks to determine and evaluate the relative efficiency of different methods for managing the total milk supply for fluid markets. The degree of efficiency is measured in two general ways: (1) The portion of the milk supply which must be carried as necessary reserves, and (2) the relative cost of managing and handling the flow of milk by different methods. The main objectives of research in the supply coordination area are: (1) To determine and evaluate the relative efficiency of different methods of managing the total milk supply for a market, (2) to describe the evolutionary process whereby specific markets have attained their present status, (3) to develop a course of action by which specific markets may achieve improvements in coordinating the milk supply, and (4) to generalize from the specific case studies so as to provide helpful information to other markets.
Methanotrophs in an Oil Sands End-Pit Lake and their Potential Co-oxidation of Naphthenic Acids

description: Methanotrophs possess the highly promiscuous enzyme, methane monooxygenase (MMO) which has been characterized to co-oxidize many substrates in conjunction with methane. As such, methanotrophs are hereby explored in the remediation of environmental pollutants such as naphthenic acids (NAs) in Base Mine Lake (BML), the first oil sands end-pit lake. BML is known to harbor an active methanotrophic population and can be explored for the co-oxidation or co-metabolism of compounds of concern in BML like NAs. We report on the dynamics of the methanotrophic population in the BML water column and sediment interface over time was explored using both 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing and pmoA gene (encoding particulate MMO) abundance by qPCR quantification. The results showed that methanotrophs can be up to 2.7 × 104 cells mL-1 of water by qPCR and are delineated by season, with Methylobacter dominating the water columns in winter and Methylococcus being the most abundant in the summer seasons based on 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing. Conversely, Methylococcus was most abundant in winter BML ice cover compared to Methylobacter spp. in this preliminary analysis of the methanotroph community associated with the ice cover in winter. In a mixed culture of methanotrophs enriched from BML water, we demonstrated that a surrogate NA, cyclohexane carboxylic acid (CHCA), could be biodegraded in a methane-dependent manner to non-detectable levels. Similarly, a tailings ponds methanotroph isolate, Methylicorpusculum oleharenae, was also able to degrade CHCA, strongly suggesting that MMO is implicated in the hydroxylation of NA. Overall, these findings may suggest that methanotrophs can play a role in the bioremediation and reclamation of organic compounds found in BML.

description: We consider a simple model for QCD dynamics in which DGLAP integro-differential equation may be solved analytically. This is a gauge model which possesses dominant evolution of gauge boson (gluon) distribution and in which the gauge coupling does not run. This may be ${\cal N} =4$ supersymmetric gauge theory with softly broken supersymmetry, other finite supersymmetric gauge theory with lower level of supersymmetry, or topological Chern-Simons field theories. We maintain only one term in the splitting function of unintegrated gluon distribution and solve DGLAP analytically for this simplified splitting function. The solution is found by use of the Cauchy integral formula. The solution restricts form of the unintegrated gluon distribution as function of momentum transfer and of Bjorken $x$. Then we consider an almost realistic splitting function of unintegrated gluon distribution as an input to DGLAP equation and solve it by the same method which we have developed to solve DGLAP equation for the toy-model. We study a result obtained for the realistic gluon distribution and find a singular Bessel-like behaviour in the vicinity of the point $x=0$ and a smooth behaviour in the vicinity of the point

description: The pair correlation function is a fundamental spatial point process characteristic that, given the intensity function, determines second order moments of the point process. Non-parametric estimation of the pair correlation function is a typical initial step of a statistical analysis of a spatial point pattern. Kernel estimators are popular but especially for clustered point patterns suffer from bias for small spatial lags. In this paper we introduce a new orthogonal series estimator. The new estimator is consistent and asymptotically normal according to our theoretical and simulation results. Our simulations further show that the new estimator can outperform the kernel estimators in particular for Poisson and clustered point processes.

description: We prove that a vector bundle $π: E \to M$ is characterized by the Lie algebra generated by all differential operators on $E$ which are eigenvectors of the Lie derivative in the direction of the Euler vector field. Our result is of Pursell-Shanks type but it is remarkable in the sense that it is the whole fibration that is characterized here. The proof relies on a theorem of [Lecomte P., J. Math. Pures Appl. (9) 60 (1981), 229-239] and inherits the same hypotheses. In particular, our characterization holds only for vector bundles of rank greater than 1.

description: In this thesis, we present two new quantum algorithms for graph problems. The first algorithm we give is a memoryless walk that can find a unique marked vertex on a two-dimensional grid. Our walk is based on a construction proposed by Falk, which tessellates the grid with squares of size 2 × 2. Our walk uses minimal memory, O(sqrt(N logN)) applications of the walk operator, and outputs the marked vertex with vanishing error probability. To accomplish this, we apply a selfloop to the marked vertex—a technique we adapt from interpolated walks. We prove that with our explicit choice of selfloop weight, this forces the action of the walk asymptotically into a single rotational space. We characterize this space and as a result, show that our memoryless walk produces the marked vertex with a success probability asymptotically approaching one. Our second algorithm decides whether a graph contains a perfect matching. This is the first quantum algorithm based on the algebraic characterization by Tutte, which reduces the problem of detecting perfect matchings to deciding whether a matrix has nonzero determinant. The key part of our algorithm is a new span program that can decide whether a matrix is singular. Our span program has a simple structure and its witness size matches that of a related span program by Belovs for matrix rank-finding, up to a constant factor. Using a transformation given by Reichardt, our span program can be compiled into a quantum algorithm, which we use as a subroutine in our algorithm to detect perfect matchings. We also show that there are families of graphs for which our perfect matching detection algorithm may have exponential query complexity. These graphs could be a useful tool in determining the tight quantum query complexity of the perfect matching detection problem, which remains an open problem.

description: We propose a quantum dot qubit architecture that has an attractive combination of speed and fabrication simplicity. It consists of a double quantum dot with one electron in one dot and two electrons in the other. The qubit itself is a set of two states with total spin quantum numbers $S^2=3/4$ ($S=\half$) and $S_z = -\half$, with the two different states being singlet and triplet in the doubly occupied dot. The architecture is relatively simple to fabricate, a universal set of fast operations can be implemented electrically, and the system has potentially long decoherence times. These are all extremely attractive properties for use in quantum information processing devices.

description: We describe the completed local rings of the trianguline variety at certain points of integral weights in terms of completed local rings of algebraic varieties related to Grothendieck's simultaneous resolution of singularities. We derive several local consequences at these points for the trianguline variety: local irreducibility, description of all local companion points in the crystalline case, combinatorial description of the completed local rings of the fiber over the weight map, etc. Combined with the patched Hecke eigenvariety (under the usual Taylor-Wiles assumptions), these results in turn have several global consequences: classicality of crystalline strictly dominant points on global Hecke eigenvarieties, existence of all expected companion constituents in the completed cohomology, existence of singularities on global Hecke eigenvarieties.

description: Discrete spectral transformations of skew orthogonal polynomials are presented. From these spectral transformations, it is shown that the corresponding discrete integrable systems are derived both in 1+1 dimension and in 2+1 dimension. Especially in the (2+1)-dimensional case, the corresponding system can be extended to 2x2 matrix form. The factorization theorem of the Christoffel kernel for skew orthogonal polynomials in random matrix theory is presented as a by-product of these transformations.

description: Background Post- endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) pancreatitis (PEP) can lead to significant morbidity and even mortality. The aim of this study was to develop a PEP prediction model using easily accessible patient- and procedure-related variables. Methods Using a multi center prospective ERCP registry, we conducted logistic regression using stepwise selection on several patient- and procedure-related variables that were determined a priori. Variables were included or excluded based on an initial alpha cut-off of 0.2. The final model was based on a combination of Bayesian information criterion (BIC) and Akaike's information criterion (AIC) performance, as well as on the inclusion of variables deemed to be of clinical relevance, while maintaining face validity. All available data was used for model development, with subsequent internal validation performed on bootstrapped data using 10-fold cross validation. Results From September 1, 2019 to January 16, 2022, 3021 ERCP procedures were enrolled and included in our study. There were 151 (5.0%) cases of PEP. Variables included in the final model were patient sex, patient age, pancreatic duct cannulation, native papilla status, presence of precut sphincterotomy, cannulation time, presence of biliary stricture, and pancreatic duct stenting. The final model had an AIC, BIC, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of 822.28, 886.77, and 0.79, respectively. Bootstrapped data using 800 replicates revealed a C-statistic of 0.78 and expected to observed (E:O) ratio of 1.003. Conclusion This study successfully established and internally validated a promising PEP predictive model using easily obtainable variables that are known at baseline or observed during the ERCP procedure. The model achieved an area under the curve of 0.79. External validation is required prior to clinical use.

description: The purpose of this report is to showcase GeoSocial Demonstrator #1. As part of the demonstrator, we built a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) which implements the preliminary GeoSocial service design and allows the integration of selected data sources. Both the GeoSocial service and demonstrator involved an iterative approach to drawing on Agile methods. Such an approach allows outputs from different stages, comprising several activities, to feedback on the design and development of the solution in a way that caters for flexibility in functionality under time and cost constraints.
Sergei Lyapunov's Douze études d'exécution transcendante, op. 11 : a performer's perspective
Creators: name: Saratovsky, Sergei Nikolaevich

description: The music of the Russian composer, Sergei Lyapunov (1859-1924), remains largely unknown today. The Douze études d’exécution transcendante, Op. 11, to which this document is devoted, continues to be neglected in both writings and performances. I contend that one reason for this lies in a lack of appreciation of the music’s cultural significance, whereby it is regarded as a second-rate copy of Liszt’s work of the same name. In this thesis, I present some sources that are generally unknown to musicians. By examining these sources, I attempt to uncover some of what these études are about. On this basis, I provide interpretive suggestions that can add to the authenticity of a performance and its artistic effect. Chapter One provides a cursory introduction to Lyapunov and the Douze études, and reviews the literature on the composer. Here, too, I trace Liszt’s influence on Lyapunov. Chapter Two is devoted to examining programmatic references in three of the études. I explain the meaning of an enigmatic asterisk sign in Carillon, which points to a major hymn of the Russian Orthodox Church; and I show how features of Chant épique arise from the text of a folk song that Lyapunov collected during an 1893 expedition and quoted in this étude. Although the program to Térek is explicit — the étude is prefaced by an excerpt from a poem by Lermontov — I argue that one cannot properly interpret its music based just on the lines found in the score, but must rather take into account the implications of the entire poem. One of Lyapunov’s students orally transmitted the composer’s interpretive remarks about this cycle to Mikhail Shifman, who published them in Russia. In Chapter Three, I translate them and offer my interpretive elaborations. I also discuss a little known historical recording featuring Lyapunov’s performance of the final étude. Chapter Four concludes by suggesting possible implications this study might have within a broader context. The ways in which I have examined this cycle could be applied not only to compositions by lesser-known Russian composers, but also to the celebrated pieces by the Russian masters.
The Identification of Target Gene to Increase Immunotherapy Response in Patients with Solid Tumors using Experimental and Computational Approaches

description: Conventional cancer therapies have limitations which can lead to high recurrence rates and reduced quality of life. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) have been shown to have more durable responses and fewer side effects. This makes them an alternative treatment for solid tumors like bladder cancer and MSI-high colorectal carcinoma. However, many patients do not respond to ICI or develop resistance due to factors such as the absence of CD8+ T cells in the tumor microenvironment, dysfunctional CD8+ T cells, and impaired tumor-specific memory T cells generation. This study shows that inhibiting Sun1 enhances tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte infiltration, inhibits tumor growth in mice, and improves the response to anti-PD-1 treatment. Although the role of Sun1 in chromatin organization and gene expression regulation is not fully clear, its inhibition can upregulate the immune-related genes within the knockout cell lines. This approach suggests a potential strategy for enhancing ICI effectiveness in cancer treatment.

description: We investigate the interplay between the Z_{Nc} symmetry and the emergence of the quarkyonic phase, adding the flavor-dependent complex chemical potentials μ_f=μ+iTθ_f with (θ_f)=(0, θ, -θ) to the Polyakov-loop extended Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (PNJL) model. When θ=0, the PNJL model with the μ_f agrees with the standard PNJL model with the real chemical potential μ. When θ=2π/3, meanwhile, the PNJL model with the μ_f has the Z_{Nc} symmetry exactly for any real μ, so that the quarkyonic phase exists at small T and large μ. Once θvaries from 2π/3, the quarkyonic phase exists only on a line of T=0 and μlarger than the dynamical quark mass, and the region at small T and large μis dominated by the quarkyonic-like phase in which the Polyakov loop is small but finite.
