description: We obtain new Fourier interpolation and -uniqueness results in all dimensions, extending methods and results by the first author and M. Sousa, and by the second author. We show that the only Schwartz function which, together with its Fourier transform, vanishes on surfaces close to the origin-centered spheres whose radius are square roots of integers, is the zero function. In the radial case, these surfaces are spheres with perturbed radii, while in the non-radial case, they can be graphs of continuous functions over the sphere. As an application, we translate our perturbed Fourier uniqueness results to perturbed Heisenberg uniqueness for the hyperbola, using the interrelation between these fields introduced and studied by Bakan, Hedenmalm, Montes-Rodriguez, Radchenko and Viazovska.

description: Self-assembly is a phenomenon observed in nature at all scales where autonomous entities build complex structures, without external influences nor centralised master plan. Modelling such entities and programming correct interactions among them is crucial for controlling the manufacture of desired complex structures at the molecular and supramolecular scale. This work focuses on a programmability model for non DNA-based molecules and complex behaviour analysis of their self-assembled conformations. In particular, we look into modelling, programming and simulation of porphyrin molecules self-assembly and apply Kolgomorov complexity-based techniques to classify and assess simulation results in terms of information content. The analysis focuses on phase transition, clustering, variability and parameter discovery which as a whole pave the way to the notion of complex systems programmability.
Inequality, Identity, and Partisanship: How redistribution can stem the tide of mass polarization

description: The form of political polarization where citizens develop strongly negative attitudes towards out-party policies and members has become increasingly prominent across many democracies. Economic hardship and social inequality, as well as inter-group and racial conflict, have been identified as important contributing factors to this phenomenon known as "affective polarization." Such partisan animosities are exacerbated when these interests and identities become aligned with existing party cleavages. In this paper we use a model of cultural evolution to study how these forces combine to generate and maintain affective political polarization. We show that economic events can drive both affective polarization and sorting of group identities along party lines, which in turn can magnify the effects of underlying inequality between those groups. But on a more optimistic note, we show that sufficiently high levels of wealth redistribution through the provision of public goods can counteract this feedback and limit the rise of polarization. We test some of our key theoretical predictions using survey data on inter-group polarization, sorting of racial groups and affective polarization in the United States over the past 50 years.

L. europaeus, tolai, and tibetanus have been placed in capensis or treated as distinct species. Such “lumping" would undoubtedly make alleni and flavigularis conspecific with callotis, and insularis with californicus, but these have not yet been proposed to my knowledge (JECF).

description: We study the interactions of two or more solitary waves in the Adlam-Allen model describing the evolution of a (cold) plasma of positive and negative charges, in the presence of electric and transverse magnetic fields. In order to show that the interactions feature an exponentially repulsive nature, we elaborate two distinct approaches: (a) using energetic considerations and the Hamiltonian structure of the model; (b) using the so-called Manton's method. We compare these findings with results of direct simulations, and identify adjustments necessary to achieve a quantitative match between them. Additional connections are made, such as with solitons of the Korteweg--de Vries equation. New challenges are identified in connection to this model and its solitary waves.

description: Given a principal $G$-bundle $P \to M$ and two $C^1$ curves in $M$ with coinciding endpoints, we say that the two curves are holonomically equivalent if the parallel transport along them is identical for any smooth connection on $P$. The main result in this paper is that if $G$ is semi-simple, then the two curves are holonomically equivalent if and only if there is a thin, i.e. of rank at most one, $C^1$ homotopy linking them. Additionally, it is also demonstrated that this is equivalent to the factorizability through a tree of the loop formed from the two curves and to the reducibility of a certain transfinite word associated to this loop. The curves are not assumed to be regular.

description: In this paper, we consider the nonparametric estimation problem of the drift function of stochastic differential equations driven by $α$-stable Lévy motion. First, the Kullback-Leibler divergence between the path probabilities of two stochastic differential equations with different drift functions is optimized. By using the Lagrangian multiplier, the variational formula based on the stationary Fokker-Planck equation is constructed. Then combined with the data information, the empirical distribution is used to replace the stationary density, and the drift function is estimated non-parametrically from the perspective of the process. In the numerical experiment, the different amounts of data and different $α$ values are studied. The experimental results show that the estimation result of the drift function is related to both. When the amount of data increases, the estimation result will be better, and when the $α$ value increases, the estimation result is also better.

description: The ongoing global increase in wildfire activity is not unique to Australia, yet Australia's Arnhem Land region is uniquely decreasing in bushfire activity despite being situated within one of the world’s most (increasingly) flammable landscapes. Remote sensing data, among other methods of research utilized in this paper, suggest that this unique phenomenon can be understood through the underlying institutional structures of the region's settler-state and Aboriginal management regimes. A comparison between these two regimes reveals that the more-Aboriginal system of land management evidently surpasses the neighboring settler-state's ability to reduce bushfire activity within equally flammable landscapes because, as I argue, this non-profit system (ALFA) resists adopting the same purely bureaucratic structure that increases landscape flammability. Prior studies on bushfires and/or indigenous land management in Australia typically limit discussions to either empirically understanding the continent's bushfire activity without studying underlying regional management structures or by further articulating local Traditional Ecological Knowledge without enunciating its effect on regional bushfire activity. Following this paper's case study, I argue that further studies on bushfires in Australia (or wildfires in other anglophonic settler colonies) should utilize a methodology of inquiring into the institutional structures of management regimes and their economic mobilization of resources. Doing so could more substantially contribute towards greater understandings of sociocultural political relations under late-capitalist and settler-colonial contexts continuing to unsustainably advance the ongoing processes of climate change, the anthropocene, and these processes’ inherent flammability.

description: Human trafficking is a widespread and compound social, economic, and human rights issue occurring in every region of the world. While there have been an increasing number of anti-human trafficking works from the Operations Research and Analytics domains in recent years, no systematic review of this literature currently exists. We fill this gap by providing a systematic literature review that identifies and classifies the body of Operations Research and Analytics research related to the anti-human trafficking domain, thereby illustrating the collective impact of the field to date. We classify 142 studies to identify current trends in methodologies, theoretical approaches, data sources, trafficking contexts, target regions, victim-survivor demographics, and focus within the well-established 4Ps principles. Using these findings, we discuss the extent to which the current literature aligns with the global demographics of human trafficking and identify existing research gaps to propose an agenda for Operations Research and Analytics researchers.

Constraints on black hole spins with a general relativistic accretion disk corona model

description: The peaks of the spectra of the accretion disks surrounding massive black holes in quasars are in the far-UV or soft X-ray band, which are usually not observed. However, in the disk corona model, the soft photons from the disk are Comptonized to high energy in the hot corona, and the hard X-ray spectra (luminosity and spectral shape) contain the information of the incident spectra from the disk. The values of black hole spin parameter $a_{\ast}$ are inferred from the spectral fitting, which spread over a large range, $\sim -0.94$ to $0.998$. We find that the inclination angles and mass accretion rates are well determined by the spectral fitting, while the results are sensitive to the accuracy of black hole mass estimates. No tight constraints on the black hole spins are achieved, if the uncertainties of black hole mass measurements are a factor of four, which are typical for the single-epoch reverberation mapping method. Recently, the accuracy of black hole mass measurement has been significantly improved to $0.2-0.4$~dex with velocity resolved reverberation mapping method (Pancoast et al., 2014). The black hole spin can be well constrained if the mass measurement accuracy is $\la 50$\%. In the accretion disk corona scenario, a fraction of power dissipated in the disk is transported into the corona, and therefore the accretion disk is thinner than a bare disk for the same mass accretion rate, because the radiation pressure in the disk is reduced. We find that the thin disk approximation, $H/R\la 0.1$, is still valid if $0.3

description: This paper presents a systematic study of the effects of hyperspectral pixel dimensionality reduction on the pixel classification task. We use five dimensionality reduction methods -- PCA, KPCA, ICA, AE, and DAE -- to compress 301-dimensional hyperspectral pixels. Compressed pixels are subsequently used to perform pixel classifications. Pixel classification accuracies together with compression method, compression rates, and reconstruction errors provide a new lens to study the suitability of a compression method for the task of pixel classification. We use three high-resolution hyperspectral image datasets, representing three common landscape types (i.e. urban, transitional suburban, and forests) collected by the Remote Sensing and Spatial Ecosystem Modeling laboratory of the University of Toronto. We found that PCA, KPCA, and ICA post greater signal reconstruction capability; however, when compression rates are more than 90\% these methods show lower classification scores. AE and DAE methods post better classification accuracy at 95\% compression rate, however their performance drops as compression rate approaches 97\%. Our results suggest that both the compression method and the compression rate are important considerations when designing a hyperspectral pixel classification pipeline.

description: The usual setting for learning the structure and parameters of a graphical model assumes the availability of independent samples produced from the corresponding multivariate probability distribution. However, for many models the mixing time of the respective Markov chain can be very large and i.i.d. samples may not be obtained. We study the problem of reconstructing binary graphical models from correlated samples produced by a dynamical process, which is natural in many applications. We analyze the sample complexity of two estimators that are based on the interaction screening objective and the conditional likelihood loss. We observe that for samples coming from a dynamical process far from equilibrium, the sample complexity reduces exponentially compared to a dynamical process that mixes quickly.

description: For a thermodynamic system, apart from thermal fluctuations, there are also fluctuations in thermodynamic volume when the system is in contact with a volume reservoir. For the case of black holes in anti-de Sitter spacetimes, the effect of thermal fluctuations on the entropy is well studied. The aim of this work is to compute novel logarithmic corrections to black hole entropy coming from simultaneous fluctuations of energy and thermodynamic volume. We work in the isothermal-isobaric ensemble and first obtain a general form of corrections to entropy which are valid for any thermodynamic system. Applying the formalism to Kerr black holes in AdS reveals that the black hole entropy gets corrected as: $\mathcal{S} = S_0 - k \ln S_0 + \cdots$ where $S_0$ is given by the Bekenstein-Hawking formula and $k = - 1$. The same leading coefficient is also obtained in the canonical ensemble, i.e. by considering energy fluctuations alone. This coefficient is found to be unaltered in the slowly rotating and high temperature limits.

description: Complex phenotypic differences among different acute leukemias cannot be fully captured by analyzing the expression levels of one single molecule, such as a miR, at a time, but requires systematic analysis of large sets of miRs. While a popular approach for analysis of such datasets is principal component analysis (PCA), this method is not designed to optimally discriminate different phenotypes. Moreover, PCA and other low-dimensional representation methods yield linear or non-linear combinations of all measured miRs. Global human miR expression was measured in AML, B-ALL, and T-ALL cell lines and patient RNA samples. By systematically applying support vector machines to all measured miRs taken in dyad and triad groups, we built miR networks using cell line data and validated our findings with primary patient samples. All the coordinately transcribed members of the miR-23a cluster (which includes also miR-24 and miR-27a), known to function as tumor suppressors of acute leukemias, appeared in the AML, B-ALL and T-ALL centric networks. Subsequent qRT-PCR analysis showed that the most connected miR in the B-ALL-centric network, miR-708, is highly and specifically expressed in B-ALLs, suggesting that miR-708 might serve as a biomarker for B-ALL. This approach is systematic, quantitative, scalable, and unbiased. Rather than a single signature, our approach yields a network of signatures reflecting the redundant nature of biological signaling pathways. The network representation allows for visual analysis of all signatures by an expert and for future integration of additional information. Furthermore, each signature involves only small sets of miRs, such as dyads and triads, which are well suited for in depth validation through laboratory experiments such as loss- and gain-of-function assays designed to drive changes in leukemia cell survival, proliferation and differentiation.

description: We present new BVI photometry of the globular cluster NGC 6981 (M72), based mostly on ground-based CCD archive images. We present a new color-magnitude diagram (CMD) that reaches almost four magnitudes below the turn-off level. We performed new derivations of metallicity and morphological parameters of the evolved sequences, in good agreement with previous authors, obtaining a value of [Fe/H] ~ -1.50 in the new UVES scale. We also identify the cluster's blue straggler population. Comparing the radial distribution of these stars with the red giant branch population, we find that the blue stragglers are more centrally concentrated, as found in previous studies of blue stragglers in globular clusters. Taking advantage of the large field of view covered by our study, we analyzed the surface density profile of the cluster, finding extratidal main sequence stars out to r ~ 14.1 arcmin or about twice the tidal radius. We speculate that this may be due to tidal disruption in the course of M72's orbit, in which case tidal tails associated with the cluster may exist. We also take a fresh look at the variable stars in the cluster, recovering all previous known variables, including three SX Phoenicis stars, and adding three previously unknown RR Lyrae (1 c-type and 2 ab-type) to the total census. Finally, comparing our CMD with unpublished data for M3 (NGC 5272), a cluster with similar metallicity and horizontal branch morphology, we found that both objects are essentially coeval.

description: Controlling thermal transport is important for a range of devices and technologies, from phase change memories to next-generation electronics. This is especially true in nano-scale devices where thermal transport is altered by the influence of surfaces and changes in dimensionality. In superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors, the thermal boundary conductance (TBC) between the nanowire and the substrate it is fabricated on influences most of the performance metrics that make these detectors attractive for applications. This includes the maximum count rate, latency, jitter, and quantum efficiency. Despite its importance, the study of TBC in superconducting nanowire devices has not been done systematically, primarily due to the lack of a straightforward characterization method. Here, we show that simple electrical measurements can be used to estimate the TBC between nanowires and substrates and that these measurements match acoustic mismatch theory across a variety of substrates. Numerical simulations allow us to refine our understanding, however, open questions remain. This work should enable thermal engineering in superconducting nanowire electronics and cryogenic detectors for improved device performance.

description: Spin-polarized transport of photo-electrons in bulk, p-type GaAs is investigated in the Pauli blockade regime. In contrast to usual spin diffusion processes in which the spin polarization decreases with distance traveled due to spin relaxation, images of the polarized photo-luminescence reveal a spin-filter effect in which the spin polarization increases during transport over the first 2 microns from 26 % to 38 %. This is shown to be a direct consequence of the Pauli Principle and the associated quantum degeneracy pressure which results in a spin-dependent increase in the minority carrier diffusion constants and mobilities. The central role played by the quantum degeneracy pressure is confirmed via the observation of a spin-dependent increase in the photo-electron volume and a spin-charge coupling description of this is presented.

description: In most wireless networks, nodes have only limited local information about the state of the network, which includes connectivity and channel state information. With limited local information about the network, each node's knowledge is mismatched; therefore, they must make distributed decisions. In this paper, we pose the following question - if every node has network state information only about a small neighborhood, how and when should nodes choose to transmit? While link scheduling answers the above question for point-to-point physical layers which are designed for an interference-avoidance paradigm, we look for answers in cases when interference can be embraced by advanced PHY layer design, as suggested by results in network information theory. To make progress on this challenging problem, we propose a constructive distributed algorithm that achieves rates higher than link scheduling based on interference avoidance, especially if each node knows more than one hop of network state information. We compare our new aggressive algorithm to a conservative algorithm we have presented in [1]. Both algorithms schedule sub-networks such that each sub-network can employ advanced interference-embracing coding schemes to achieve higher rates. Our innovation is in the identification, selection and scheduling of sub-networks, especially when sub-networks are larger than a single link.

description: Recent experimental advances in strongly coupled light-matter systems has sparked the development of general ab-initio methods capable of describing interacting light-matter systems from first principles. One of these methods, quantum-electrodynamical density-functional theory (QEDFT), promises computationally efficient calculations for large correlated light-matter systems with the quality of the calculation depending on the underlying approximation for the exchange-correlation functional. So far no true density-functional approximation has been introduced limiting the efficient application of the theory. In this paper, we introduce the first gradient-based density functional for the QEDFT exchange-correlation energy derived from the adiabatic-connection fluctuation-dissipation theorem. We benchmark this simple-to-implement approximation on small systems in optical cavities and demonstrate its relatively low computational costs for fullerene molecules up to C$_{180}$ coupled to 400,000 photon modes in a dissipative optical cavity. This work now makes first principle calculations of much larger systems possible within the QEDFT framework effectively combining quantum optics with large-scale electronic structure theory.

description: The Radiance Enhancement (RE) method was introduced for efficient detection of clouds from the space. Recently, we have also reported that due to high reflectance of combustion-originated smokes, this approach can also be generalized for detection of the forest fires by retrieving and analyzing datasets collected from a space orbiting micro-spectrometer operating in the near infrared spectral range. In our previous publication, we have performed a comparison of observed and synthetic radiance spectra by developing a method for computation of surface reflectance consisting of different canopies by weighted sum based on their areal coverage. However, this approach should be justified by a method based on corresponding proportions of the upwelling radiance. The results of computations we performed in this study reveal a good match between areal coverage of canopies and the corresponding proportions of the upwelling radiance due to effect of the instrument slit function.

description: The Consent-to-Contact (C2C) registry at the University of California, Irvine collects data from community participants to aid in the recruitment to clinical research studies. Self-selection into the C2C likely leads to bias due in part to enrollees having more years of education relative to the US general population. Salazar et al. (2020) recently used the C2C to examine associations of race/ethnicity with participant willingness to be contacted about research studies. To address questions about generalizability of estimated associations we estimate propensity for self-selection into the convenience sample weights using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). We create a combined dataset of C2C and NHANES subjects and compare different approaches (logistic regression, covariate balancing propensity score, entropy balancing, and random forest) for estimating the probability of membership in C2C relative to NHANES. We propose methods to estimate the variance of parameter estimates that account for uncertainty that arises from estimating propensity weights. Simulation studies explore the impact of propensity weight estimation on uncertainty. We demonstrate the approach by repeating the analysis by Salazar et al. with the deduced propensity weights for the C2C subjects and contrast the results of the two analyses. This method can be implemented using our estweight package in R available on GitHub.

description: Information theory allows us to investigate information processing in neural systems in terms of information transfer, storage and modification. Especially the measure of information transfer, transfer entropy, has seen a dramatic surge of interest in neuroscience. Estimating transfer entropy from two processes requires the observation of multiple realizations of these processes to estimate associated probability density functions. To obtain these observations, available estimators assume stationarity of processes to allow pooling of observations over time. This assumption however, is a major obstacle to the application of these estimators in neuroscience as observed processes are often non-stationary. As a solution, Gomez-Herrero and colleagues theoretically showed that the stationarity assumption may be avoided by estimating transfer entropy from an ensemble of realizations. Such an ensemble is often readily available in neuroscience experiments in the form of experimental trials. Thus, in this work we combine the ensemble method with a recently proposed transfer entropy estimator to make transfer entropy estimation applicable to non-stationary time series. We present an efficient implementation of the approach that deals with the increased computational demand of the ensemble method's practical application. In particular, we use a massively parallel implementation for a graphics processing unit to handle the computationally most heavy aspects of the ensemble method. We test the performance and robustness of our implementation on data from simulated stochastic processes and demonstrate the method's applicability to magnetoencephalographic data. While we mainly evaluate the proposed method for neuroscientific data, we expect it to be applicable in a variety of fields that are concerned with the analysis of information transfer in complex biological, social, and artificial systems.

description: The dynamics of the spread of contagions such as viruses, infectious diseases or even rumors/opinions over contact networks (graphs) have effectively been captured by the well known \textit{Susceptible-Infected-Susceptible} ($SIS$) epidemic model in recent years. When it comes to competition between two such contagions spreading on overlaid graphs, their propagation is captured by so-called \textit{bi-virus} epidemic models. Analysis of such dynamical systems involve the identification of equilibrium points and its convergence properties, which determine whether either of the viruses dies out, or both survive together. We demonstrate how the existing works are unsuccessful in characterizing a large subset of the model parameter space, including all parameters for which the competitiveness of the bi-virus system is significant enough to attain coexistence of the epidemics. In this paper, we fill in this void and obtain convergence results for the entirety of the model parameter space; giving precise conditions (necessary and sufficient) under which the system \textit{globally converges} to a \textit{trichotomy} of possible outcomes: a virus-free state, a single-virus state, and to a coexistence state -- the first such result.
