description: The projection games (aka Label-Cover) problem is of great importance to the field of approximation algorithms, since most of the NP-hardness of approximation results we know today are reductions from Label-Cover. In this paper we design several approximation algorithms for projection games: 1. A polynomial-time approximation algorithm that improves on the previous best approximation by Charikar, Hajiaghayi and Karloff. 2. A sub-exponential time algorithm with much tighter approximation for the case of smooth projection games. 3. A polynomial-time approximation scheme (PTAS) for projection games on planar graphs and a tight running time lower bound for such approximation schemes.

title: "Thank you Mario - but our princess has left the castle" - Konstruktionen von weiblichen Protagonistinnen in digitalen Spielen für den japanischen Markt
Creators: name: Gmeinbauer, Christina
Year: 2021

description: In der vorliegenden Dissertation wird der Frage nachgegangen, wie weibliche Protagonistinnen in digitalen Spielen für ein japanisches Publikum konstruiert werden. Datengrundlage bildet das Weißbuch Famitsū gēmu hakusho ファミ通ゲーム白書 [Famitsū-Spiele-Weißbuch], welches Listen über die populärsten Konsolenspiele in Japan seit 1996 enthält. Anhand dieser Listen wurden im Zeitraum zwischen 1996 und 2017 Spiele ausgewählt, die unumgänglich weibliche Figuren als Protagonistinnen einsetzen. Die Spiele wurden hinsichtlich der Fragen untersucht, wie diese Hauptfiguren visuell dargestellt werden, wie sie als ‚fiktive Wesen‘ in den Spielwelten konstruiert werden, inwiefern dahingehend interaktive Mitgestaltungsmöglichkeiten für die Spieler*innen angeboten werden und welche Botschaften diese Figuren daher zu Gender-Fragen in Japan transportieren. Die Betrachtung der einzelnen Spiele erfolgte auf Grundlage einer qualitativen Spieleanalyse, bei der die ausgewählten Spiele und ihre Inhalte codiert wurden. Die Studie kommt zu dem Ergebnis, dass weibliche Protagonistinnen in digitalen Spielen für ein japanisches Publikum visuell stark stereotypisiert konstruiert werden und einerseits mit ‚femininen‘ Markern (wie geschlechtsspezifischer Kleidung, langen Haaren/Wimpern etc.) ausgestattet werden, andererseits oft wenig bekleidet oder in körperbetonender Kleidung auftreten und daher sexualisiert wirken. Diese normativen visuellen Gestaltungsweisen werden jedoch in vielen der untersuchten Spiele auch mit einer narrativen Rahmung kombiniert, in der stereotype Idealvorstellungen von ‚Weiblichkeit‘ in Japan hinterfragt werden: So werden die Figuren beispielsweise im Berufsalltag oder als aggressive Kriegerinnen entworfen und mit selbstbewussten Persönlichkeiten gezeichnet. In einigen Spielen wird darüber hinaus direkt auf die gesellschaftliche Diskriminierung von Frauen Bezug genommen und über diese diskutiert. Die Verfasserin kommt daher zu dem Schluss, dass weibliche Protagonistinnen in digitalen Spielen für den japanischen Markt höchst ambivalent konstruiert werden und einerseits zwar visuell objektifiziert dargestellt werden, andererseits aber auch in Handlungen agieren, in denen oft anspruchsvoll diskutiert wird, wie Frauen sich in einer von Männern dominierten Welt durchsetzen können. Viele der untersuchten Spiele bieten daher auf der narrativen Ebene auch Gegenentwürfe zu geschlechtlichen Idealvorstellungen in Japan an.

description: Two-photon exchange (TPE) contributions to elastic electron-proton scattering in the forward regime and in leading log $\sim t\ln|t|$ approximation in the momentum transfer $|t|$ are considered. The imaginary part of TPE amplitude in these kinematics is related to the total photo absorption cross section. The real part of the TPE amplitude is obtained from the imaginary part by means of a fixed-$t$ dispersion relation. The dispersion integrals for the relevant elastic $ep$-scattering amplitude converge and do not need subtraction. This allows us to make clean a prediction for the real part of the TPE amplitude at forward angles with the leading term $\sim t\ln|t|$. Numerical estimates are comparable to the experimental precision in extracting the charge radius from experimental data.

description: Abstract
Agricultural financing in developing economies is a complex system that threatens food supply despite numerous research and interventions. Research in this area has yet to have a critical realistic constructivist lens to analyze the transformation of agricultural financing in a sociocultural and long-term perspective using Activity Theory (AT). This selective review of literature seeks to justify how agricultural financing is an Activity Theory (AT) phenomenon and addresses how Activity-Based Analysis (ABA) can be leveraged to transform agricultural financing systems. Key findings indicate that activity theory principles and theoretical implications help guide researchers and policymakers to frame transformational policies interventions toward addressing agricultural financing system challenges. We argue that considering agricultural financing activity as the unit of analysis enables researchers and policymakers to incorporate dynamic, multi-level and complex activity elements for agricultural financing over space and time dimensions. Empirical testing of Activity Theory approaches towards agricultural financing design research is crucial for future research.

description: This article provides a Wilsonian description of the perturbatively renormalizable Tensorial Group Field Theory introduced in arXiv:1303.6772 [hep-th] (Commun. Math. Phys. 330, 581-637). It is a rank-3 model based on the gauge group SU(2), and as such is expected to be related to Euclidean quantum gravity in three dimensions. By means of a power-counting argument, we introduce a notion of dimensionality of the free parameters defining the action. General flow equations for the dimensionless bare coupling constants can then be derived, in terms of a discretely varying cut-off, and in which all the so-called melonic Feynman diagrams contribute. Linearizing around the Gaussian fixed point allows to recover the splitting between relevant, irrelevant, and marginal coupling constants. Pushing the perturbative expansion to second order for the marginal parameters, we are able to determine their behaviour in the vicinity of the Gaussian fixed point. Along the way, several technical tools are reviewed, including a discussion of combinatorial factors and of the Laplace approximation, which reduces the evaluation of the amplitudes in the UV limit to that of Gaussian integrals.

description: We present a study of in-medium cross sections and (off-shell) transition rates for the most relevant binary reactions for strange pseudoscalar meson production close to threshold in heavy-ion collisions at FAIR energies. Our results rely on a chiral unitary approach in coupled channels which incorporates the $s$- and $p$-waves of the kaon-nucleon interaction. The formalism, which is modified in the hot and dense medium to account for Pauli blocking effects, mean-field binding on baryons, and pion and kaon self-energies, has been improved to implement full unitarization and self-consistency for both the $s$- and $p$-wave interactions at finite temperature and density. This gives access to in-medium amplitudes in several elastic and inelastic coupled channels with strangeness content $S=-1$. The obtained total cross sections mostly reflect the fate of the $Λ(1405)$ resonance, which melts in the nuclear environment, whereas the off-shell transition probabilities are also sensitive to the in-medium properties of the hyperons excited in the $p$-wave amplitudes [$Λ$, $Σ$ and $Σ^*(1385)$]. The single-particle potentials of these hyperons at finite momentum, density and temperature are also discussed in connection with the pertinent scattering amplitudes. Our results are the basis for future implementations in microscopic transport approaches accounting for off-shell dynamics of strangeness production in nucleus-nucleus collisions.

description: High-dimensional statistical tests often ignore correlations to gain simplicity and stability leading to null distributions that depend on functionals of correlation matrices such as their Frobenius norm and other $\ell_r$ norms. Motivated by the computation of critical values of such tests, we investigate the difficulty of estimation the functionals of sparse correlation matrices. Specifically, we show that simple plug-in procedures based on thresholded estimators of correlation matrices are sparsity-adaptive and minimax optimal over a large class of correlation matrices. Akin to previous results on functional estimation, the minimax rates exhibit an elbow phenomenon. Our results are further illustrated in simulated data as well as an empirical study of data arising in financial econometrics.

The $η$ decay into 3$π$ in asymmetric nuclear medium

description: We explore how the $η$-$π^0$ mixing angle and the $η$ meson decay into $π^{+}π^{-}π^0$ and 3$π^{0}$ are modified in the nuclear medium on the basis of the in-medium chiral effective theory with the isospin asymmetry $α$ varied, where $α\equiv δρ/ρ$ with $δρ=ρ_n-ρ_p$ and $ρ=ρ_n+ρ_p$. We find that the larger the isospin asymmetry $δρ$ and smaller the total density $ρ$, the more enhanced the mixing angle. We show that the decay width in the nuclear medium has an additional density dependence which cannot be renormalized into that of the mixing angle: The additional term originates from the vertex proportional to a low energy constant $c_1$, which only comes into play in the nuclear medium but not in the free space. It turns out that the resultant density effect on the decay widths overwhelms that coming from the isospin asymmetry, and the higher the $ρ$, the more enhanced the decay widths; the width for the $π^{+}π^{-}π^0$ decay is enhanced with a factor two to three at the normal density $ρ_0$ with a minor increase due to $δρ$, while that for the 3$π^0$ decay shows only a small increase of around 10 percent even at $ρ_0$. We mention the possible relevance of the partial restoration of chiral symmetry to the unexpected density effect on the decay widths in the nuclear medium.

description: We present photometric and spectroscopic models of the Classical T Tauri star AA Tau. Photometric and spectroscopic variability present in observations of AA Tau is attributed to a magnetically induced warp in the accretion disc, periodically occulting the photosphere on an 8.2--day timescale. Emission line profiles show signatures of both infall, attributed to magnetospherically accreting material, and outflow. Using the radiative transfer code TORUS, we have investigated the geometry and kinematics of AA Tau's circumstellar disc and outflow, which is modelled here as a disc wind. Photometric models have been used to constrain the aspect ratio of the disc, the offset angle of the magnetosphere dipole with respect to the stellar rotation axis, and the inner radius of the circumstellar disc. Spectroscopic models have been used to constrain the wind and magnetosphere temperatures, wind acceleration parameter, and mass loss rate. We find observations are best fitted by models with a mass accretion rate of $5\times10^{-9}$ M$_\odot$ yr$^{-1}$, a dipole offset of between $10^\circ$ and $20^\circ$, a magnetosphere that truncates the disc from 5.2 to 8.8 R$_\star$, a mass-loss-rate to accretion-rate ratio of ~ 0.1, a magnetosphere temperature of 8500 -- 9000 K, and a disc wind temperature of 8000 K.

description: Observations of cool stars reveal dark spot-like features on their surfaces. Compared to sunspots, starspots can be bigger or cover a larger fraction of the stellar surface. While sunspots appear only at low latitudes, starspots are also found in polar regions, in particular on rapidly rotating stars. Sunspots are believed to result from the eruption of magnetic flux-tubes rising from the deep interior of the Sun. The strong magnetic field locally reduces convective heat transport to the solar surface. Such flux-tube models have also been invoked to explain starspot properties. However, these models use several simplifications and so far the generation of either sunspots or starspots has not been demonstrated in a self-consistent simulation of stellar magnetic convection. Here we show that direct numerical simulations of a distributed dynamo operating in a density-stratified rotating spherical shell can spontaneously generate cool spots. Convection in the interior of the model produces a large scale magnetic field which interacts with near surface granular convection leading to strong concentrations of magnetic flux and formation of starspots. Prerequisites for the formation of sizeable high-latitude spots in the model are sufficiently strong density stratification and rapid rotation. Our model presents an alternate mechanism for starspot formation by distributed dynamo action.

description: Die Innovation Autonomer Fahrzeuge sowie deren Schlüsseltechnologien besitzen ein enormes Potenzial, das bestehende System PKW-basierter Mobilität einschneidend zu verändern. Neben möglichen Auswirkungen auf Aspekte wie Stadt-, Raum sowie Verkehrsplanung forciert das Aufkommen autonomer Fahrtechnologien auch die in der Metropolregion München bestehende Automobilindustrie diesen Trend aufzugreifen, u.A. um ihre globale Wettbewerbsfähigkeit zu sichern. Interdisziplinäre, technische Innovationen wie Autonome Vehikel (AV) entstehen dabei oftmals in einen breiteren Technologischen Innovationssystem (TIS), welches auch diverse Akteure außerhalb der Automobilindustrie einschließt (bspw. Universitäten, administrative Organe, institutionelle Rahmenbedingungen etc.). Das TIS-Konzept ermöglicht unter anderem durch seine analytischen Elemente der Systemstruktur sowie Systemfunktionen eine holistische Betrachtung der Innovation AV im Kontext der Metropolregion München, was den zentralen Bestandteil der vorliegenden Masterarbeit bildet. Der TIS-Ansatz wird gestützt durch ExpertInneninterviews erstmalig im Kontext der Metropolregion München angewendet und seine Systemstruktur sowie Funktionen empirisch analysiert, was zudem einen Beitrag zur Forschung im Bereich von TIS und AV leistet. Zentrale Erkenntnisse der Strukturanalyse sind, dass die wichtigsten Akteure des Systems im Bereich der Unternehmen sowie Hochschulen zu verorten sind. Die durch ExpertInneninterviews sowie der Auswertung diverser Dokumente und Unternehmensinformationen gestützte Analyse der Systemfunktionen offenbarte, dass in der Region bereits sehr viel Wissen bzgl. AV generiert und verbreitet wird, Ressourcen mobilisiert werden und diverse Pilotprojekte sowie Tests mit autonomen Fahrzeugen durchgeführt werden, was die wesentlichen, treibenden Kräfte des TIS darstellt. Diese Aktivitäten werden dabei primär seitens der Automobilindustrie und Hochschulen vorangetrieben, während Startups noch unterrepräsentiert sind. Eine ausbaufähige Förderung von innovationsfreudigen Startups im Bereich der enabling Technologien von AV (insbesondere im Bereich von AV-Software) sowie eine allgemein ausbaufähige Steuerung der Akteure (hauptsächlich von Unternehmen) im TIS seitens nationaler sowie regionaler Akteure auf politisch-administrativer Ebene konnten als Hindernisse zur weiteren Entwicklung des betrachteten TIS identifiziert werden.

description: We construct a quantum system of spherical spins with a continuous local symmetry. The model is exactly soluble in the thermodynamic limit and exhibits a number of interesting properties. We show that the local symmetry is spontaneously broken at finite as well as zero temperatures, implying the existence of classical and quantum phase transitions with a nontrivial critical behavior. The dynamical generation of gauge fields and the equivalence with the $CP^{(\mathcal{N}-1)}$ model in the limit $\mathcal{N}\rightarrow\infty$ are investigated. The dynamical generation of gauge fields is a consequence of the restoration of the local symmetry.

description: We describe an algorithm to subdivide automatically a given set of PL n-manifolds (via coloured triangulations or, equivalently, via crystallizations) into classes whose elements are PL-homeomorphic. The algorithm, implemented in the case n=4, succeeds to solve completely the PL-homeomorphism problem among the catalogue of all closed connected PL 4-manifolds up to gem-complexity 8 (i.e., which admit a coloured triangulation with at most 18 4-simplices). Possible interactions with the (not completely known) relationship among different classification in TOP and DIFF=PL categories are also investigated. As a first consequence of the above PL classification, the non-existence of exotic PL 4-manifolds up to gem-complexity 8 is proved. Further applications of the tool are described, related to possible PL-recognition of different triangulations of the K3-surface.

description: For a special value of the mass, a massive graviton on de Sitter space acquires an enhanced scalar gauge symmetry, and is called partially massless. The partially massless graviton possesses a duality invariance akin to electromagnetic duality. We display this duality in its manifestly local and covariant form, in which it acts to interchange the first order field equations and Bianchi identities of a gauge invariant field strength.

description: We associate to a full flag $\mathcal{F}$ in an $n$-dimensional variety $X$ over a field $k$, a "symbol map" $μ_{\mathcal{F}}:K(F_X) \to Σ^n K(k)$. Here, $F_X$ is the field of rational functions on $X$, and $K(\cdot)$ is the $K$-theory spectrum. We prove a "reciprocity law" for these symbols: Given a partial flag, the sum of all symbols of full flags refining it is $0$. Examining this result on the level of $K$-groups, we re-obtain various "reciprocity laws". Namely, when $X$ is a smooth complete curve, we obtain degree of a principal divisor is zero, Weil reciprocity, Residue theorem, Contou-Carrère reciprocity. When $X$ is higher-dimensional, we obtain Parshin reciprocity.

Mode Selection and Single-mode Lasing by Active Transformation Optics

description: Using the correspondence between (saturated) nonlinear and (unsaturated) linear dielectric constants, we propose a simple and systematic method to achieve selective excitation of lasing modes that would have been dwarfed by more dominant ones of lower thresholds. The key element of this method is incorporating the control of modal interactions into the spatial pump profile, and it is most valuable in the presence of spatially and spectrally overlapping modes, where it would be difficult to achieve selective excitation otherwise.

description: The following proposition is justified from several different points of view. If you use P = 0.05 to suggest that you have made a discovery, you will be wrong at least 30 percent of the time. If, as is often the case, experiments are under-powered, you will be wrong most of the time. It is concluded that if you wish to keep your false discovery rate below 5 percent, you need to use a 3-sigma rule, or to insist on P value below 0.001. And never use the word "significant".

Search for s-channel single top-quark production in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$=8 TeV with the ATLAS detector
Creators: name: ATLAS Collaboration

Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: This Letter presents a search at the LHC for s-channel single top-quark production in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV. The analyzed data set was recorded by the ATLAS detector and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb$^{-1}$. Selected events contain one charged lepton, large missing transverse momentum and exactly two b-tagged jets. A multivariate event classifier based on boosted decision trees is developed to discriminate s-channel single top-quark events from the main background contributions. The signal extraction is based on a binned maximum-likelihood fit of the output classifier distribution. The analysis leads to an upper limit on the s-channel single top-quark production cross-section of 14.6 pb at the 95% confidence level. The fit gives a cross-section of $σ_s$=5.0$\pm$4.3 pb, consistent with the Standard Model expectation.

description: A model of a multilayer device with non-trivial geometrical structure and nonlinear dependencies of thermodynamic material properties at cryogenic temperatures is suggested. A considered device, called cryogenic cell, is intended for use in multicharged ion sources for pulse injection of gaseous species into ionization space of ion sources. The main requirement for the cryogenic cell operation is the permanent opening and closing for gaseous species injection in a millisecond range, while cell closing is provided by freezing of the gaseous specie at the outer surface of the cell and the cell opening - by the corresponding pulse heating of the cell surface up to definite temperature. The thermal behaviour of the device in a millisecond time range is simulated. The algorithm for solving the non-stationary heat conduction problem with a time-dependent periodical heating source is suggested. The algorithm is based on finite difference explicit-implicit method. The OpenCL realization of the algorithm is discussed. The optimal particular choice of the parameters to provide the required pulse temperature regime of the designed cryogenic cell for the chosen working gas is presented. Based on these results further optimization can be formulated.

Study of Kaon Decay to Two Pions

description: The weak decay of the kaon to two pions is studied within the NJL Model. Using the standard effective weak Hamiltonian, both the decay amplitude arising from an intermediate state σ-meson and the direct decay amplitude are calculated. The effect of final state interactions is also included. When the matching scale is chosen such that the decay amplitude with isospin I=2 is close to its experimental value, the σ-meson contributes more than 85% of the total I=0 amplitude. This supports recent suggestions that the σ-meson should play a vital role in explaining the ΔI= 1/2 rule in this system.

Resummation of Double-Differential Cross Sections and Fully-Unintegrated Parton Distribution Functions

description: LHC measurements involve cuts on several observables, but resummed calculations are mostly restricted to single variables. We show how the resummation of a class of double-differential measurements can be achieved through an extension of Soft-Collinear Effective Theory (SCET). A prototypical application is $pp \to Z + 0$ jets, where the jet veto is imposed through the beam thrust event shape ${\mathcal T}$, and the transverse momentum $p_T$ of the $Z$ boson is measured. A standard SCET analysis suffices for $p_T \sim m_Z^{1/2} {\mathcal T}^{1/2}$ and $p_T \sim {\mathcal T}$, but additional collinear-soft modes are needed in the intermediate regime. We show how to match the factorization theorems that describe these three different regions of phase space, and discuss the corresponding relations between fully-unintegrated parton distribution functions, soft functions and the newly defined collinear-soft functions. The missing ingredients needed at NNLL/NLO accuracy are calculated, providing a check of our formalism. We also revisit the calculation of the measurement of two angularities on a single jet in JHEP 1409 (2014) 046, finding a correction to their conjecture for the NLL cross section at ${\mathcal O}(α_s^2)$.

description: Surface-pressure isotherms, X-ray reflectivity and X-ray near-total reflection fluorescence were used to study the properties of 1-(3-methoxycarbonyl)propyl-1-phenyl[6,6]C$_{61}$ (PCBM) that was pre-mixed with cesium carbonate and spread as a film at the air-water interface. The pre-mixed PCBM with cesium carbonate demonstrated a strikingly strong effect on the organization of the film. Whereas films formed from pure PCBM solution were rough due to strong inter-molecular interactions, the films formed from the mixture were much smoother. This indicates that the cesium carbonate moderates the inter-molecular interactions among PCBM molecules, hinting that the cesium diffusion observed in inverted organic photovoltaics and the likely ensuing ionic Cs-PCBM interaction decreases aggregation tendency of PCBM. This implies that the use of cesium salts affects the morphology of the organic layer and consequently improves the efficiency of these devices.

Hyperbolic graphs for free products, and the Gromov boundary of the graph of cyclic splittings

description: We define analogues of the graphs of free splittings, of cyclic splittings, and of maximally-cyclic splittings of $F_N$ for free products of groups, and show their hyperbolicity. Given a countable group $G$ which splits as $G=G_1\ast\dots\ast G_k\ast F$, where $F$ denotes a finitely generated free group, we identify the Gromov boundary of the graph of relative cyclic splittings with the space of equivalence classes of $\mathcal{Z}$-averse trees in the boundary of the corresponding outer space. A tree is \emph{$\mathcal{Z}$-averse} if it is not compatible with any tree $T'$, that is itself compatible with a relative cyclic splitting. Two $\mathcal{Z}$-averse trees are \emph{equivalent} if they are both compatible with a common tree in the boundary of the corresponding outer space. We give a similar description of the Gromov boundary of the graph of maximally-cyclic splittings.
