Ambidexterity and the universality of finite spans

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Algebraic Topology (math.AT)
subject: FOS: Mathematics
subject: 55P99, 55U35, 57R56

description: Pursuing the notions of ambidexterity and higher semiadditivity as developed by Hopkins and Lurie, we prove that the span $\infty$-category of $m$-finite spaces is the free $m$-semiadditive $\infty$-category generated by a single object. Passing to presentable $\infty$-categories we obtain a description of the free presentable $m$-semiadditive $\infty$-category in terms of a new notion of $m$-commutative monoids, which can be described as spaces in which families of points parameterized by $m$-finite spaces can be coherently summed. Such an abstract summation procedure can be used to give a formal $\infty$-categorical definition of the finite path integral described by Freed, Hopkins, Lurie and Teleman in the context of 1-dimensional topological field theories.

description: We consider a spin-3/2 fermionic dark matter (DM) particle interacting with the Standard Model quarks through the exchange of a charged and coloured scalar or vector mediator in a simple $t$-channel model. It is found that for the vector mediator case, almost the entire parameter space allowed by the observed relic density is already ruled out by the direct detection LUX data. No such bounds exist on the interaction mediated by scalar particles. Monojet + missing energy searches at the Large Hadron Collider provide the most stringent bounds on the parameters of the model for this case. The collider bounds put a lower limit on the allowed DM masses.

description: We present and discuss near horizon boundary conditions for flat space higher-spin gravity in three dimensions. As in related work our boundary conditions ensure regularity of the solutions independently of the charges. The asymptotic symmetry algebra is given by a set of $\hat{\mathfrak{u}}(1)$ current algebras. The associated charges generate higher-spin soft hair. We derive the entropy for solutions that are continuously connected to flat space cosmologies and find the same result as in the spin-2 case: the entropy is linear in the spin-2 zero-mode charges and independent from the spin-3 charges. Using twisted Sugawara-like constructions of higher-spin currents we show that our simple result for entropy of higher-spin flat space cosmologies coincides precisely with the complicated earlier results expressed in terms of higher-spin zero mode charges.

description: Although the existence of a west wall now seems certain, its exact position can only be approximated. It is not absolutely proven that the foundations located west of Bath Lane are those of the town wall. It is hoped that future excavations will resolve this problem, but this may not be possible, for, particularly to the west of Bath Lane, industrial development has destroyed much of the evidence.

description: Taobao, as the largest online retail platform in the world, provides billions of online display advertising impressions for millions of advertisers every day. For commercial purposes, the advertisers bid for specific spots and target crowds to compete for business traffic. The platform chooses the most suitable ads to display in tens of milliseconds. Common pricing methods include cost per mille (CPM) and cost per click (CPC). Traditional advertising systems target certain traits of users and ad placements with fixed bids, essentially regarded as coarse-grained matching of bid and traffic quality. However, the fixed bids set by the advertisers competing for different quality requests cannot fully optimize the advertisers' key requirements. Moreover, the platform has to be responsible for the business revenue and user experience. Thus, we proposed a bid optimizing strategy called optimized cost per click (OCPC) which automatically adjusts the bid to achieve finer matching of bid and traffic quality of page view (PV) request granularity. Our approach optimizes advertisers' demands, platform business revenue and user experience and as a whole improves traffic allocation efficiency. We have validated our approach in Taobao display advertising system in production. The online A/B test shows our algorithm yields substantially better results than previous fixed bid manner.

description: In Leicester, the ground early man first stood on is now up to four and a half metres below the present ground surface. This deep build-up is the result of occupation that has been so intense that in the area of the Roman and Medieval town (Fig 1) it has left a debris of over 1.4 million cubic metres of material, consisting of the remains of buildings, streets, yards and accumulations of soil and rubbish. Today, a few historic buildings have survived, but most of the physical remains of Leicester's past lie beneath our feet.
Alternative transient eddy-current flowmetering methods for liquid metals

Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Instrumentation and Detectors (physics.ins-det)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We present a comprehensive numerical analysis of alternative transient eddy-current flowmetering methods for liquid metals. This type of flowmeter operates by tracking eddy-current markers excited by the magnetic field pulses in the flow of a conducting liquid. Using a simple mathematical model, where the fluid flow is replaced by a translating cylinder, a number possible alternative measurement schemes are considered. The velocity of the medium can be measured by tracking zero crossing points and spatial or temporal extrema of the electromotive force (emf) induced by transient eddy currents in the surrounding space. Zero crossing points and spatial extrema of the emf travel synchronously with the medium whereas temporal extrema experience an initial time delay which depends on the conductivity and velocity of the medium. Performance of transient eddy-current flowmetering depends crucially on the symmetry of system. Eddy current asymmetry of a few per cent makes the detection point drift with a velocity corresponding to a magnetic Reynolds number $Rm\sim 0.1.$ With this level of asymmetry transient eddy-current flowmetering can be reliably applicable only to flows with $Rm\gtrsim 0.1.$ A more accurate symmetry adjustment or calibration of flowmeters may be necessary at lower velocities.

Excavations in a Medieval Market Town

description: Transactions of the Leicestershire Archaeological and Historical Society, 61, 1-7
description: Mountsorrel is situated 12 kms north of Leicester and forms a linear settlement straddling the A6, Leicester to Derby road. It lies on a keuper marl capped gravel terrace on the west side of the Soar valley, and skirts a large granodiorite outcrop. A castle was built on this outcrop in 1080 but there was no mention of the town in the Domesday Book. The earliest reference to it was in 12th century market charters which established a weekly market and an annual fair. Only a little is known of the town's subsequent history until the 17th century when it started to expand. The introduction of the hosiery industry and the impact of the 18th century improvement of water transport on the local quarries, stimulated a greater development of the town in the 19th and 20th centuries.

description: Transactions of the Leicestershire Archaeological and Historical Society, 63, 18-47
description: The north-east quarter of Roman and medieval Leicester is relatively unexplored in both historical and archaeological terms and so this excavation, albeit on a very small scale, has provided an opportunity to enhance our knowledge of the area. It was carried out in December 1977 in the back yards of numbers 15-23 Elbow Lane just prior to the demolition of these houses and the re-development of the site. The excavation was directed by John Lucas on behalf of the Leicestershire Archaeological Unit and was financed by the Leicestershire County Council and the Department of the Environment. An area measuring l 11m by 3.25m was excavated entirely by band. All the finds and site archive were subsequently deposited with Leicestershire Museums. The site lay on a natural ground of sand and gravel near the foot of a gentle south to north slope and just within the north wall of the Roman and medieval town

description: The determination of acceptability prices of contingent claims requires the choice of a stochastic model for the underlying asset price dynamics. Given this model, optimal bid and ask prices can be found by stochastic optimization. However, the model for the underlying asset price process is typically based on data and found by a statistical estimation procedure. We define a confidence set of possible estimated models by a nonparametric neighborhood of a baseline model. This neighborhood serves as ambiguity set for a multi-stage stochastic optimization problem under model uncertainty. We obtain distributionally robust solutions of the acceptability pricing problem and derive the dual problem formulation. Moreover, we prove a general large deviations result for the nested distance, which allows to relate the bid and ask prices under model ambiguity to the quality of the observed data.

description: Transactions of the Leicestershire Archaeological and Historical Society, 83, 103-112
description: A late-medieval drawing of Leicester, which occurs in a margin in BL, MS Royal 13. A. III, is introduced and discussed in the context of the manuscript's text and illustrations broadly. Further illustrations in the same manuscript represent other British cities and structures: that of Leicester is thus part of a programme. While these illustrations are remarkably detailed and evocative in certain respects, it is concluded that they cannot be considered accurate by modern standards. In reaching this conclusion, and pointing out the virtues of the drawings, that of Leicester is examined in detail.

Mathematical Modelling of Population Dynamics of Social Protests

Year: 2023
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Mathematical modelling of riots and protests is now becoming a powerful tool in providing a better understanding of dynamics of social unrest with the eventual goal to ensure a sustainable development of the human society. Currently, however, most of the existing studies in the considered research area are based on either non-spatial or spatially implicit models, whereas in a large number of cases dynamics of social protests clearly exhibit spatial heterogeneity. To bridge the existing gap, here we explore spatial-temporal patterns of social protests using a reaction-diffusion modelling framework. Our model variables are: the number of protesters and the cumulative amount of damage made as an outcome of the protest. The system has been studied analytically as well as by means of extensive numerical simulation in one dimensional and two-dimensional space. We show that the proposed model exhibits a variety of dynamical regimes including stationary patterns with round hot spots as well as complex labyrinthine-like structures. The system also predicts the various types propagating waves of protests with regular and irregular fronts as well as a patchy spread, where protests spread in space via irregular motion and interaction of separate patches of high numbers of protestors without formation of any continuous front, the number of protestors between patches being nearly zero. We reveal the structure of the model’s parameter space, identifying the range of key parameters for which particular dynamical regimes are possible. Along with reaction-diffusion model, considering continuous space, we also consider the model of protests on discrete networks of different nature. We find that Turing instability can lead to pattern formation on networks, which opens up an exciting possibility to explore it as a generation mechanism in a large number of social unrest contexts. The networkbased model also shows a variety of non-Turing patterns including both stationary and non-stationary complex dynamics, where different nodes behave differently. Finally, we consider a realistic network to model the yellow vests movement in France.
Random Close Packing and the Hard Sphere Percus-Yevick Theory

description: The Percus-Yevick theory for monodisperse hard spheres gives very good results for the pressure and structure factor of the system in a whole range of densities that lie within the liquid phase. However, the equation seems to lead to a very unacceptable result beyond that region. Namely, the Percus-Yevick theory predicts a smooth behavior of the pressure that diverges only when the volume fraction $η$ approaches unity. Thus, within the theory there seems to be no indication for the termination of the liquid phase and the transition to a solid or to a glass. In the present article we study the Percus-Yevick hard sphere pair distribution function, $g_2(r)$, for various spatial dimensions. We find that beyond a certain critical volume fraction $η_c$, the pair distribution function, $g_2(r)$, which should be positive definite, becomes negative at some distances. We also present an intriguing observation that the critical $η_c$ values we find are consistent with volume fractions where onsets of random close packing (or maximally random jammed states) are reported in the literature for various dimensions. That observation is supported by an intuitive argument. This work may have important implications for other systems for which a Percus-Yevick theory exists.

description: Moreau's seminal paper, introducing what is now called the Moreau envelope and the proximity operator (also known as the proximal mapping), appeared in 1965. The Moreau envelope of a given convex function provides a regularized version which has additional desirable properties such as differentiability and full domain. Fifty years ago, Attouch proposed using the Moreau envelope for regularization. Since then, this branch of convex analysis has developed in many fruitful directions. In 1967, Bregman introduced what is nowadays known as the Bregman distance as a measure of discrepancy between two points generalizing the square of the Euclidean distance. Proximity operators based on the Bregman distance have become a topic of significant research as they are useful in the algorithmic solution of optimization problems. More recently, in 2012, Kan and Song studied regularization aspects of the left Bregman-Moreau envelope even for nonconvex functions. In this paper, we complement previous works by analyzing the left and right Bregman-Moreau envelopes and by providing additional asymptotic results. Several examples are provided.

Simple theory for oscillatory charge profile in ionic liquids near a charged wall
Creators: name: Ciach, Alina
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The mesoscopic field theory for ionic systems [A. Ciach and G. Stell, J. Mol. Liq. 87, 255 (2000)] is extended to the system with charged boundaries. A very simple expression for the excess grand potential functional of the charge density is developed. The size of hard-cores of ions is taken into account in the expression for the internal energy. The functional is suitable for a description of a distribution of ions in ionic liquids and ionic liquid mixtures with neutral components near a weakly charged wall. The Euler-Lagrange equation is obtained, and solved for a flat confining surface. An exponentially damped oscillatory charge density profile is obtained. The electrostatic potential for the restricted primitive model agrees with the simulation results on a semiquantitative level.

description: Archaeological work at Cumberland Street revealed evidence for the Roman town wall and rampart. The wall had been extensively robbed in the middle ages but a narrow remnant had survived on the property line between the Sanvey Gate and Cumberland Street plots. The surviving rampart showed rare evidence for its construction methods including the use of timber strapping and turf block construction. Together with a reappraisal of previous excavations it is suggested that a construction sequence for the defences is apparent with an early phase represented by a rampart and ditch with a later addition of the wall. Shortly after the robbing of the town wall in the 12th/13th century the area was encroached upon by medieval settlement evident from a pit dug into the backfilled robber trench. The pottery from this feature included a rare example of medieval splashed ware with zoomorphic decoration which, it is suggested, was of local manufacture.

The Medieval Parks of Leicestershire

Year: 2023

description: The park was a common feature of the medieval landscape, and was to be found in substantial numbers in every county of England. It was part of the demesne lands of the lord of the manor, and typically consisted of a relatively small area - commonly between 150 and 300 acres - of "unimproved" land, almost invariably well-wooded to provide covert for the deer, and usually containing pasture. The medieval park, therefore, was quite different from its modern successor, the sophisticated, landscaped amenity park though, as we shall see, there are numerous examples of large, modern parks developing directly out of their smaller medieval predecessors.

description: This thesis presents a comprehensive study on the impacts of bank capital allocation practices on broader economic growth and sustainability with secondary effects on financial system performance. In completing the study, in Chapter 1 we begin by extending Schumpeter’s theory (1934; 1939) on financial intermediation to account for the effects of capital allocation practices at banks. We uniquely demonstrate, in quasi-experimental settings through a bank-economy Agent-Based Model, that use of more comprehensive capital allocation practices at banks promotes more efficient credit allocations. Significantly, the gains in efficiencies result in positive real effects on industrial economic growth and loan performance, as well as financial system profitability and capital adequacy. In seeking to confirm Schumpeter’s extended theory in real-world settings, in Chapter 2 we develop a novel lexical frontier analysis approach for measuring ex-ante banks’ efficiency by assessing capital allocation capabilities. Comparing results from the novel approach to existing techniques, we demonstrate a link between the quality of capital allocation practices and bank production and economic (profit) efficiencies. In Chapter 3, we calculate US banks’ profit efficiencies, as ex-post proxy for capital allocation efficiency, and demonstrate that US banks utilizing robust capital allocation practices that are economically efficient, promote growth of ESG sustainable industries while moderating growth of sectors with lower prospects. The collection of findings demonstrate that application of robust capital allocation practices by banks can be a major accelerator of the Schumpeterian credit intermediation channel for industrial growth, with significant positive effects on bank efficiency, capital adequacy, resiliency, and financial system stability.

Direct sum decomposability of polynomials and factorization of associated forms
Creators: name: Fedorchuk, Maksym

Subjects: subject: Algebraic Geometry (math.AG)

description: We prove two criteria for direct sum decomposability of homogeneous polynomials. For a homogeneous polynomial with a non-zero discriminant, we interpret direct sum decomposability of the polynomial in terms of factorization properties of the Macaulay inverse system of its Milnor algebra. This leads to an if-and-only-if criterion for direct sum decomposability of such a polynomial, and to an algorithm for computing direct sum decompositions over any field, either of characteristic $0$ or of sufficiently large positive characteristic, for which polynomial factorization algorithms exist. For homogeneous forms over algebraically closed fields, we interpret direct sums and their limits as forms that cannot be reconstructed from their Jacobian ideal. We also give simple necessary criteria for direct sum decomposability of arbitrary homogeneous polynomials over arbitrary fields and apply them to prove that many interesting classes of homogeneous polynomials are not direct sums.

description: One of the basic of modern marketing understanding is customer satisfaction. Companies can survive as long as they meet the customers' wants and enable customer satisfaction. Defining the consumer's demands and meeting them is one of the means of enabling consumer satisfaction. For this reason, it is important in this intensively competitive environment to be in regular touch with the customers to observe the changes in their behavior closely.

description: In the early 1990s a late medieval ecclesiastical seal matrix was discovered by a metal detectorist at Robertsbridge, Sussex. It turned out to be a seal of the confraternity of Burton Lazars Hospital, Leicestershire. The article assesses the find in the context of other confraternity seals known for this institution and concludes that it is untypical of previously identified examples and may well be a prototype.

description: We study cosmetic contact surgeries along transverse knots in the standard contact 3-sphere, i.e. contact surgeries that yield again the standard contact 3-sphere. The main result is that we can exclude non-trivial cosmetic contact surgeries along all transverse knots not isotopic to the transverse unknot with self-linking number -1. As a corollary it follows that every transverse knot in the standard contact 3-sphere is determined by the contactomorphism type of its exteriors. Moreover, we give counterexamples to this for transverse links in the standard contact 3-sphere.

Digraphs with degree two and excess two are diregular

description: A $k$-geodetic digraph with minimum out-degree $d$ has excess $ε$ if it has order $M(d,k) + ε$, where $M(d,k)$ represents the Moore bound for out-degree $d$ and diameter $k$. For given $ε$, it is simple to show that any such digraph must be out-regular with degree $d$ for sufficiently large $d$ and $k$. However, proving in-regularity is in general non-trivial. It has recently been shown that any digraph with excess $ε= 1$ must be diregular. In this paper we prove that digraphs with minimum out-degree $d = 2$ and excess $ε= 2$ are diregular for $k \geq 2$.
