description: The data release 1 (DR1) of milliarcsecond-scale accurate optical positions of stars and galaxies was recently published by the space mission Gaia. We study the offsets of highly accurate absolute radio (very long baseline interferometry, VLBI) and optical positions of active galactic nuclei (AGN) to see whether or not a signature of wavelength-dependent parsec-scale structure can be seen. We analyzed VLBI and Gaia positions and determined the direction of jets in 2957 AGNs from their VLBI images. We find that there is a statistically significant excess of sources with VLBI-to-Gaia position offset in directions along and opposite to the jet. Offsets along the jet vary from zero to tens of mas. Offsets in the opposite direction do not exceed 3 mas. The presense of strong, extended parsec-scale optical jet structures in many AGNs is required to explain all observed VLBI-Gaia offsets along the jet direction. The offsets in the opposite direction shorter than 1 mas can be explained either by a non-point-like VLBI jet structure or a "core-shift" effect due to synchrotron opacity.

description: We propose a novel (Type-II) zeroing control barrier function (ZCBF) for safety-critical control, which generalizes the original ZCBF approach. Our method allows for applications to a larger class of systems (e.g. passivity-based) while still ensuring robustness, for which the construction of conventional ZCBFs is difficult. We also propose a locally Lipschitz continuous control law that handles multiple ZCBFs, while respecting input constraints, which is not currently possible with existing ZCBF methods. We apply the proposed concept for unicycle navigation in an obstacle-rich environment.

description: Production material centres around two interviews conducted with Lorna Wanosts’a7 Williams near the former site of a S7ístken, a traditional semi-subterranean winter dwelling of the Lil̓wat7úl, along the Birkenhead River. In tape 1, Wanosts’a7 gives a detailed description of a S7ístken and typical layout of a S7ístken village; and how inter-generational stories strengthened her connection to such locations. Tape 1 continues with a second interview in which Wanosts’a7 talks about learning her family’s past; her uncle and his role in the community, including his stories about how smallpox and the 1918 Influenza Epidemic impacted Indigenous communities; and how loss and trauma breakdown community social practices. In tape 2, Wanosts’a7 talks about learning the extent of the loss and trauma that her people had experienced, and finding a greater appreciation of the strength that still remains; and the importance of rebuilding and continuing to carry stories into the future. The filmed segments of the first interview run from 01:53 on tape 1, and continue until 06:09 on tape 1. The films segments of the second interview begin at 09:39 on tape 1, and continue until 10:20 in tape 2. Additional sequences of the environment and Wanosts’a7 walking can be found proceeding and following each interview, as well as a sequence of Wanosts’a7 driving at the end of tape 2.

description: Given a surjective mapping $f : E \to F$ between Banach spaces, we investigate the existence of a subspace $G$ of $E$, with the same density character as $F$, such that the restriction of $f$ to $G$ remains surjective. We obtain a positive answer whenever $f$ is continuous and uniformly open. In the smooth case, we deduce a positive answer when $f$ is a $C^1$-smooth surjection whose set of critical values is countable. Finally we show that, when $f$ takes values in the Euclidean space $\mathbb R^n$, in order to obtain this result it is not sufficient to assume that the set of critical values of $f$ has zero-measure.

description: The meeting was organized by the Dial-a-Molecule, Directed Assembly, and AI3 Science Discovery Networks. Dial-a-Molecules vision is that in 20-40 years, scientists will be able to deliver any desired molecule within a timeframe useful to the end-user, using safe, economically viable and sustainable processes. Predicting the outcome of unknown reactions is a key challenge, and a key problem is lack of data, particularly on failed reactions. Synthesis must become a data-driven discipline. Since 2011 the Dial-a-Molecule Network has organized many meetings around the themes of collecting better data and using automated reaction platforms for repeatable and captured procedures. A recent success has been the establishment of the center for Rapid Online Analysis of Reactions (ROAR) at Imperial College.

description: The model of minimal dilatonic gravity (MDG), called also the massive Branse-Dicke model with $ω=0$, is an alternative model of gravitation, which uses one Branse-Dicke gravitation-dilaton field $Φ$ and offers a simultaneous explanation of the effects of dark energy (DE) and dark matter (DM). Here we present an extensive research of non-rotating neutron star models in MDG with four different realistic equations of state (EOS), which are in agreement with the latest observational data. The equations describing static spherically symmetric stars in MDG are solved numerically. The effects corresponding to DE and DM are clearly seen and discussed.

description: A large ongoing research effort focuses on Variational Quantum Algorithms (VQAs), representing leading candidates to achieve computational speed-ups on current quantum devices. The scalability of VQAs to a large number of qubits, beyond the simulation capabilities of classical computers, is still debated. Two major hurdles are the proliferation of low-quality variational local minima, and the exponential vanishing of gradients in the cost function landscape, a phenomenon referred to as barren plateaus. Here we show that by employing iterative search schemes one can effectively prepare the ground state of paradigmatic quantum many-body models, circumventing also the barren plateau phenomenon. This is accomplished by leveraging the transferability to larger system sizes of iterative solutions, displaying an intrinsic smoothness of the variational parameters, a result that does not extend to other solutions found via random-start local optimization. Our scheme could be directly tested on near-term quantum devices, running a refinement optimization in a favorable local landscape with non-vanishing gradients.

description: As the most significant difference from parabolic equations, long-time or short-time behavior of solutions to time-fractional evolution equations is dominated by the fractional orders, whose unique determination has been frequently investigated in literature. Unlike all the existing results, in this article we prove the uniqueness of orders and parameters (up to a multiplier for the latter) only by principal terms of asymptotic expansions of solutions near $t=0$ at a single spatial point. Moreover, we discover special conditions on unknown initial values or source terms for the coincidence of observation data. As a byproduct, we can even conclude the uniqueness for initial values or source terms by the same data. The proof relies on the asymptotic expansion after taking the Laplace transform and the completeness of generalized eigenfunctions.

The persistent revolution: history, nationalism and neoliberalism in Mexico from the 1982 debt crisis to the 2010 bicentenary of independence

Year: 2023

description: Submission note: A thesis submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy to the School of Historical and European Studies, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, La Trobe University, Bundoora.

This thesis examines how Mexican revolutionary nationalist discourse was invoked during the country’s transition from a hegemonic corporatist state with an economic nationalist development model to a multiparty political system with a neoliberal development model. The timeframe of the study is from the 1982 debt crisis to the bicentenary of independence and centenary of the Mexican Revolution in 2010. I argue that revolutionary nationalism emerges during tie period as not simply a “top-down” tool of political manipulation, but a multidirectional framework through which elite and popular actors communicated and negotiated with one another. Mexico’s revolutionary nationalism was a discourse forged by state and nation-builders in negotiation with local communities following the Mexican Revolution. This nationalist framework played a central role in not only promoting national unity under the state, but defining what constituted legitimate citizenship rights. This thesis for the first time applies insights gained from a “post-revisionist” school of Mexican history focussed on the state and nation-building projects of the 1920s and 1930s to the sweep of post-1982 Mexican history Revolutionary nationalism’s continued role of in shaping hegemonic ideas of politics and legitimate rights in Mexico period is shown by examining how a diverse array of actors continued to negotiate access to rights and resources in reference to the great heroes and movements of the revolutionary nationalist framework. In this thesis, I undertake a more integrated examination than has previously been attempted of Mexican nationalism alongside the institutional, economic and social transformations of the period. I argue that such an examination avoids both material and cultural determinism by acknowledging how both culture and material calculations of self-interest are interrelated and interact in political decision making. This thesis further contributes a unique and critical perspective to the literature on Mexico’s “transition to democracy” that explores how major political, economic and social upheavals were legitimised and resisted during a moment of crisis and transition.

description: The path integral is not typically utilized for analyzing entanglement experiments, in part because there is no standard toolbox for converting an arbitrary experiment into a form allowing a simple sum-over-history calculation. After completing the last portion of this toolbox (a technique for implementing multi-particle measurements in an entangled basis), some interesting 4- and 6-particle experiments are analyzed with this alternate technique. While the joint probabilities of measurement outcomes are always equivalent to conventional quantum mechanics, differences in the calculations motivate a number of foundational insights, concerning nonlocality, retrocausality, and the objectivity of entanglement itself.

description: We study high temperature spin transport in a disordered Heisenberg chain in the ergodic regime when bulk dephasing is present. We find that while dephasing always renders the transport diffusive, there is nonetheless a remnant of the diffusive to sub-diffusive transition found in a system without dephasing manifested in the behaviour of the diffusion constant with the dephasing strength. By studying finite-size effects we show numerically and theoretically that this feature is caused by the competition between large crossover length scales associated to disorder and dephasing that control the dynamics observed in the thermodynamic limit. We demonstrate that this competition may lead to a dephasing enhanced transport in this model.

description: The forward Drell--Yan process in $pp$ scattering at the LHC at $\sqrt{S}=14$ TeV is considered. We analyze the Drell--Yan structure functions assuming the dominance of a Compton-like emission of a virtual photon from a fast quark scattering off the small $x$ gluons. The color dipole framework is applied to perform quantitatively the twist decomposition of all the Drell--Yan structure functions. Two models of the color dipole scattering are applied: the Golec-Biernat--Wüsthoff model and the dipole cross section obtained from the Balitsky--Fadin--Kuraev--Lipatov evolution equation. The two models have essentially different higher twist content and the gluon transverse momentum distribution and lead to different significant effects beyond the collinear leading twist description. It is found that the gluon transverse momentum effects are significant in the Drell--Yan structure functions for all Drell--Yan pair masses $M$, and the higher twist effects become important for $M \lesssim 10$ GeV. It is found that the structure function $W_{TT}$ related to the $A_2$ angular coefficient and the Lam--Tung observable $A_0 -A_2$ are particularly sensitive to the gluon $k_T$ effects and to the higher twist effects. A procedure is suggested how to disentangle the higher twist effects from the gluon transverse momentum effects.

Prejudice towards Muslim immigrants in Australia: the role of values in understanding and reducing prejudice
Creators: name: Lethbridge, Melissa Jayne
Publisher: name: La Trobe
Year: 2023

description: Submission note: A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Psychology in Clinical Psychology to the School of Psychological Sciences, Faculty of Science, Technology, and Engineering, La Trobe University, Bundoora.

Since the events of September 11, Muslim immigrants living in Australia have been the target of discrimination, intolerance, and even ethnic violence (Poynting and Mason, 2006). Despite the continuance of prejudice directed at this immigrant group, there has been a lack of research investigating the antecedents of prejudice towards Muslims in an Australian context. This thesis aimed to fill this gap by investigating the role of individual and cultural values in both understanding and reducing prejudice towards Muslim immigrants. In Study 1, a correlational design was employed in which 196 participants from the Australian community completed an online survey. Participants completed a shortened version of the Schwartz Value Survey (Schwartz, 1992) where they rated the importance of ten values for themselves personally and then for Muslim immigrants. Consistent with hypotheses, the results showed that the higher the value discrepancy, the stronger the level of prejudice. In Study 2, two hundred and forty participants from the Australian community were assigned to an identity condition (Australian vs. personal) and then read about Australian born citizens having either similar or different values with Muslim immigrants. The type of values was also manipulated in which participants read about self-transcendence, openness to change, or conservation values. In line with the common ingroup identity model (Gaertner and Dovidio, 2000), a main effect emerged for identity which showed that the Australian identity prime was successful in reducing prejudice. This was qualified by an interaction effect which demonstrated that prejudice was further reduced when participants read about similar values. In direct contrast, the strongest levels of prejudice were shown when participants read about similar values under the personal identity prime. These effects occurred regardless of what type of values was presented as similar between the cultures. The implications of the findings are discussed with regard to relevant theory, further research, and methods for anti-prejudice interventions.

Effects of magnetic field topology in black hole-neutron star mergers: Long-term simulations

description: We report long-term simulations of black hole-neutron star binary mergers where the neutron star possesses an asymmetric magnetic field dipole. Focusing on the scenario where the neutron star is tidally disrupted by the black hole, we track the evolution of the binary up to $\approx 100$ms after the merger. We uncover more than one episode of thermally driven winds being launched along a funnel wall in all these cases beginning from $\approx 25$ms after the merger. On the other hand, we are unable to conclude presently whether the amount of ejected mass increases with the \it{degree} of asymmetry. A large-scale magnetic field configuration in the poloidal direction is formed along the funnel wall accompanied by the generation of a large Poynting flux. The magnetic field in the accretion disk around the black hole remnant is amplified by the nonaxisymmetric magnetorotational instability (MRI). The MRI growth is estimated to be in the ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) regime and thus would be free from significant effects induced by potential neutrino radiation. However, the asymmetry in the magnetic field leads to increased turbulence, which causes the vertical magnetic field in the accretion disk to grow largely in a nonlinear manner.

description: The recent experimental determination of the parity violating asymmetry $A_{\rm pv}$ in ${}^{48}$Ca and ${}^{208}$Pb at Jefferson Lab is important for our understanding on how neutrons and protons arrange themselves inside the atomic nucleus. To better understand the impact of these measurements, we present a rigorous theoretical investigation of $A_{\rm pv}$ in ${}^{48}$Ca and ${}^{208}$Pb and assess the associated uncertainties. We complement our study by inspecting the static electric dipole polarizability in these nuclei. The analysis is carried out within nuclear energy density functional theory with quantified input. We conclude that the simultaneous accurate description of $A_{\rm pv}$ in ${}^{48}$Ca and ${}^{208}$Pb cannot be achieved by our models that accommodate a pool of global nuclear properties, such as masses and charge radii, throughout the nuclear chart, and describe -- within one standard deviation -- the experimental dipole polarizabilities $α_{\rm D}$ in these nuclei.

description: We consider the possibility of an interaction in the dark sector in the presence of massive neutrinos, and study the observational constraints on three different scenarios of massive neutrinos using the most recent CMB anisotropy data in combination with type Ia supernovae, baryon acoustic oscillations, and Hubble parameter measurements. When a sterile neutrino is introduced in the interacting dark sector scenario in addition to the standard model prediction of neutrinos, we find that the coupling parameter, characterizing the interaction between dark matter and dark energy, is non-zero at 2$σ$ confidence level. The interaction model with sterile neutrino is also found to be a promising one to alleviate the current tension on Hubble constant. We do not find the evidence for a coupling in the dark sector when the possibility of a sterile neutrino is discarded.

description: A true lie is a lie that becomes true when announced. In a logic of announcements, where the announcing agent is not modelled, a true lie is a formula (that is false and) that becomes true when announced. We investigate true lies and other types of interaction between announced formulas, their preconditions and their postconditions, in the setting of Gerbrandy's logic of believed announcements, wherein agents may have or obtain incorrect beliefs. Our results are on the satisfiability and validity of instantiations of these semantically defined categories, on iterated announcements, including arbitrarily often iterated announcements, and on syntactic characterization. We close with results for iterated announcements in the logic of knowledge (instead of belief), and for lying as private announcements (instead of public announcements) to different agents. Detailed examples illustrate our lying concepts.

description: We introduce graded Hecke algebras H based on a (possibly disconnected) complex reductive group G and a cuspidal local system L on a unipotent orbit of a Levi subgroup M of G. These generalize the graded Hecke algebras defined and investigated by Lusztig for connected G. We develop the representation theory of the algebras H. obtaining complete and canonical parametrizations of the irreducible, the irreducible tempered and the discrete series representations. All the modules are constructed in terms of perverse sheaves and equivariant homology, relying on work of Lusztig. The parameters come directly from the data (G,M,L) and they are closely related to Langlands parameters. Our main motivation for considering these graded Hecke algebras is that the space of irreducible H-representations is canonically in bijection with a certain set of "logarithms" of enhanced L-parameters. Therefore we expect these algebras to play a role in the local Langlands program. We will make their relation with the local Langlands correspondence, which goes via affine Hecke algebras, precise in a sequel to this paper.

description: Application of transformation theory to underwater acoustics has been a challenging task because highly anisotropic density is unachievable in water. A possible strategy is to exploit anisotropic modulus rather than density, while has not been experimentally demonstrated. We present an annular underwater acoustic cloak designed from particular graded solid microstructures. The geometry tailored microstructures mimics meta-fluid with highly anisotropic modulus through substantially suppressed shear wave. Transient wave experiments are conducted with the cloak in a designed 2D underwater waveguide system and proved excellent cloaking performance for enclosed target over broadband frequency 9-15 kHz. This finding paves the way for controlling underwater acoustics using the structured anisotropic modulus meta-fluid.

description: We embed Feynman integrals in the subvarieties of Grassmannians through homogenization of the integrands in projective space, then obtain GKZ-systems satisfied by those scalar integrals. The Feynman integral can be written as linear combinations of the hypergeometric functions of a fundamental solution system in neighborhoods of regular singularities of the GKZ-system, whose linear combination coefficients are determined by the integral on an ordinary point or some regular singularities. Taking some Feynman diagrams as examples, we elucidate in detail how to obtain the fundamental solution systems of Feynman integrals in neighborhoods of regular singularities. Furthermore we also present the parametric representations of Feynman integrals of the 2-loop self-energy diagrams which are convenient to embed in the subvarieties of Grassmannians.

Universality in the Shape Dependence of Holographic Rényi Entropy for General Higher Derivative Gravity

description: We consider higher derivative gravity and obtain universal relations for the shape coefficients $(f_a, f_b, f_c)$ of the shape dependent universal part of the Rényi entropy for four dimensional CFTs in terms of the parameters $(c, t_2, t_4)$ of two-point and three-point functions of stress tensors. As a consistency check, these shape coefficients $f_a$ and $f_c$ satisfy the differential relation as derived previously for the Rényi entropy. Interestingly, these holographic relations also apply to weakly coupled conformal field theories such as theories of free fermions and vectors but are violated by theories of free scalars. The mismatch of $f_a$ for scalars has been observed in the literature and is due to certain delicate boundary contributions to the modular Hamiltonian. Interestingly, we find a combination of our holographic relations which are satisfied by all free CFTs including scalars. We conjecture that this combined relation is universal for general CFTs in four dimensional spacetime. Finally, we find there are similar universal laws for holographic Rényi entropy in general dimensions.

description: We consider low-energy tests of low-scale leptogenesis based on the type I seesaw scenario with three right-handed singlet neutrinos $ν_{l R}$. In this scenario, successful leptogenesis is possible for quasi-degenerate in mass heavy Majorana neutrinos $N_{1,2,3}$, $M_{1,2,3}\cong M$, $|M_j - M_i|\ll M$, $i\neq j = 1,2,3$, heavy Majorana neutrino masses $M \sim (0.05 - 5\times 10^5)$ GeV, and $N_j$ charged current and neutral current weak interaction couplings as large as $\mathcal{O}(10^{-2})$. We derive the constraints on the corresponding leptogenesis parameter space from the existing data from low-energy experiments, including the limits from the experiments on $μ\rightarrow e γ$ decay and on the rate of $μ- e$ conversion in gold. We show also that the planned and upcoming experiments on charged lepton flavour violation with $μ^\pm$, MEG II on the $μ\rightarrow eγ$ decay, Mu3e on $μ\rightarrow eee$ decay, Mu2e and COMET on $μ- e$ conversion in aluminium and PRISM/PRIME on $μ- e$ conversion in titanium, can probe significant region of the viable leptogenesis parameter space, and thus have a potential for a discovery. Experiments on $τ\to eee(μμμ)$ and $τ\to e(μ)γ$ decays (e.g., BELLE II) also can probe a part of the leptogenesis parameter space, although a relatively small one.

Calibrating the Classical Hardness of the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm

description: Trading fidelity for scale enables approximate classical simulators such as matrix product states (MPS) to run quantum circuits beyond exact methods. A control parameter, the so-called bond dimension $χ$ for MPS, governs the allocated computational resources and the output fidelity. Here, we characterize the fidelity for the quantum approximate optimization algorithm by the expectation value of the cost function it seeks to minimize and find that it follows a scaling law $F\bigl(\lnχ\bigr/N\bigr)$ with $N$ the number of qubits. With $\lnχ$ amounting to the entanglement that an MPS can encode, we show that the relevant variable for investigating the fidelity is the entanglement per qubit. Importantly, our results calibrate the classical computational power required to achieve the desired fidelity and benchmark the performance of quantum hardware in a realistic setup. For instance, we quantify the hardness of performing better classically than a noisy superconducting quantum processor by readily matching its output to the scaling function. Moreover, we relate the global fidelity to that of individual operations and establish its relationship with $χ$ and $N$. We sharpen the requirements for noisy quantum computers to outperform classical techniques at running a quantum optimization algorithm in speed, size, and fidelity.

Optical isolators based on non-reciprocal four-wave mixing
Creators: name: Heras, Alberto Muñoz de las
name: Carusotto, Iacopo
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Optics (physics.optics)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this work we propose and theoretically characterize optical isolators consisting of an all-dielectric and non-magnetic resonator featuring an intensity-dependent refractive index and a strong coherent field propagating in a single direction. Such devices can be straightforwardly realized in state-of-the-art integrated photonics platforms. The mechanism underlying optical isolation is based on the breaking of optical reciprocity induced by the asymmetric action of four-wave mixing processes coupling a strong propagating pump field with co-propagating signal/idler modes but not with reverse-propagating ones. Taking advantage of a close analogy with fluids of light, our proposed isolation mechanism is physically understood in terms of the Bogoliubov dispersion of collective excitations on top of the strong pump beam. A few most relevant set-ups realizing our proposal are specifically investigated, such as a coherently illuminated passive ring resonator and unidirectionally lasing ring or Taiji resonators.

Longitudinal and Transverse form Factors from $^{65}$Cu and $^{71}$Ga Nuclei

description: In the present work, the inelastic electron scattering for longitudinal and transverse form factors of $^{65}$Cu and $^{71}$Ga nuclei lie in the fp-shell region are studied in the framework of the shell model. The calculation is performed in the ($1f_{5/2}$,$2p_{3/2}$,$2p_{1/2}$,$1g_{9/2}$) model space using jun45 effective interaction. The wavefunctions employed to conduct the shell model calculations are extracted from the jun45 effective interaction for these nuclei with the jj44 shell model space and $(Sk35-Skzs^{*})$ residual interaction to evaluate the interactions matrix element between initial and final states. The effective charges used to account for the core-polarization (CP) effect are created using calculations of microscopic perturbations that include intermediate one-particle, one-hole excitation from the core and the model space (MS) orbits into all upper orbits with n$\hbarω$ excitations following the same approach done in [Ref.20]. To account for the (CP) effects contribution, the inelastic form factor is obtained by employing the shape of Tassie and Bohr-Mottelson models with appropriate proton and neutron effective charges. The calculated form factors were compared with available experimental data.

Pointing Error Modeling of mmWave to THz High-Directional Antenna Arrays

description: This paper focuses on providing an analytical framework for the quantification and evaluation of the pointing error at high-frequency millimeter wave (mmWave) and terahertz (THz) communication links. For this aim, we first characterize the channel of a point-to-point communication link between to unstable transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx) and then, we derive the probability density function (PDF) and cumulative distribution functions (CDF) of the pointing error in the presence of an unstable Tx and Rx as a function of the antennas' pattern. Specifically, for the standard array antenna, a closed-form expression is provided for PDF of the pointing error, which is a function of the number of antenna elements. Moreover, a more tractable approximate model is provided for the CDF and PDF of pointing error. In addition, using $α-μ$ distribution, which is a common model for small-scale fading of THz links, the end-to-end PDF of the considered channel is derived and used to calculate the outage probability of the considered system. Finally, by employing Monte-Carlo simulations, the accuracy of the analytical expressions is verified and the performance of the system is studied.
