description: Deregulated lipid metabolism has been recognized as a critical alteration that supports the development and growth of various types of tumors. Changes in lipid metabolism enable reprogramming of energetics and availability of synthetic intermediates and signaling mediators that can have pleiotropic effects in cellular physiology. The identification of critical factors that reshape lipid metabolism during oncogenesis can provide targets for the development of novel therapeutic protocols. Enzymes are an attractive class of molecules for the development of therapeutic compounds. This review focuses on deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs) that have been implicated both in lipid and cellular homeostatic processes. In certain cases, a causative link between the two processes is mediated by the deubiquitinating enzyme whereas in other cases we present evidence that support a possible role for the DUB as the underlying linker of lipid content and cell growth deregulation. Collectively, our report highlights critical nodes of deubiquitination-dependent metabolic and growth regulatory processes that can be interrogated further for a detailed understanding of cancer promoting mechanisms and therapeutic exploitation.

description: We measure hydrodynamic interactions between colloidal particles confined in a thin sheet of fluid. The reduced dimensionality, compared to a bulk fluid, increases dramatically the range of couplings. Using optical tweezers we force a two body system along the eigenmodes of the mobility tensor and find that eigen-mobilities change logarithmically with particle separation. At a hundred radii distance, the mobilities for correlated and anti-correlated motions differ by a factor of two, whereas in bulk fluids, they would be practically indistinguishable. We derive the two dimensional counterpart of the Oseen hydrodynamic tensor which quantitatively reproduces the observed behavior. These results highlight the importance of dimensionality for transport and interactions in colloidal systems and proteins in biological membranes.

description: MAGIC currently is the largest imaging atmospheric Cerenkov telescope world-wide. Since 2004, gamma-ray emission from several active galactic nuclei in the GeV/TeV energy range has been detected, some of which were newly discovered as very-high energy gamma-ray sources. The gamma-rays are assumed to originate from particle acceleration processes in the AGN jets. We give an overview of the AGN observed and detected by MAGIC, discuss spectral and temporal properties of these and show physics implications of some selected observations.

We find that the relative rates for these transitions to the final states with different J significantly depend on whether the initial state is a pure charmonium state or a four-quark/molecular state.

A Model of Spinfoam Coupled with an Environment

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this paper, an open quantum system theory for spinfoams is developed. This new formalism aims at deriving an effective Lindblad equation to compute the reduced dynamics of a quantum gravitational field. The system parameters are determined from numerical ab initio calculations, based on the spinfoam formalism. This theoretical proposal is illustrated by means of examples. The decoherence effect can induce the relaxation of the quantum gravitational state toward a sate of a small area. This is analogue to the well-known Purcell relaxation of QED, for which the qubits are replaced by the spin-network representation of the gravitational field. Some thermodynamic properties of these systems are computed, and several issues with the thermal time hypothesis are underlined. Moreover, the results suggest that further approximations can be performed to study reduced dynamics of quantum space-time.
Baade-Wesselink distances and the effect of metallicity in classical cepheids

Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: The aim of this paper is to investigate the metallicity dependence of the $PL$-relation in $V$ and $K$ based on a sample of 68 Galactic Cepheids with individual Baade-Wesselink distances (some of the stars also have an HST-based parallax) and individually determined metallicities from high-resolution spectroscopy. Literature values of the $V$-band, $K$-band and radial velocity data have been collected for a sample of 68 classical cepheids that have their metallicity determined in the literature from high-resolution spectroscopy. Based on a $(V-K)$ surface-brightness relation and a projection factor derived in a previous paper, distances have been derived from a Baade-Wesselink analysis. $PL$- and $PLZ$-relations in $V$ and $K$ are derived. The effect of the adopted dependence of the projection factor on period is investigated. The change from a constant $p$-factor to one recently suggested in the literature with a mild dependence on $\log P$ results in a less steep slope by 0.1 unit, which is about the 1-sigma error bar in the slope itself. The observed slope in the $PL$-relation in $V$ in the LMC agrees with both hypotheses. In $K$ the difference between the Galactic and LMC slope is larger and would favour a mild period dependence of the $p$-factor. The dependence on metallicity in $V$ and $K$ is found to be marginal, and independent of the choice of $p$-factor on period. This result is severely limited by the small range in metallicity covered by the Galactic Cepheids.

Capitalization effects of creative mortgage financing
Creators: name: Graham, Barbara Elizabeth Anne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This thesis studies the impact of creative financing on single family house prices, focussing on instruments such as Agreements-for-Sale, assumed mortgages and vendor-financed loans. Benefits from financing at below-market interest rates are expected to be capitalized into higher sale prices of houses, however, the literature is not clear on the appropriate adjustment. If the purchase price of houses increased by an amount equal to the present value of the payment savings, there would be no direct benefit for purchasers and they would effectively be using a financing scheme similar to a graduated payment mortgage. A Canadian sample of housing transactions has been used, specifically in the Lower Mainland area of British Columbia between 1980 and 1982. The sample was selected to include home sales at different price levels and during different periods of market activity. In this way, the capitalization effect of creative financing instruments could be tested at different house price levels and market conditions, as well as for alternative types of creative funds. Creative financing arrangements can be classified as institutional or non-institutional depending on the loan origination source, and it was hypothesized that assumption loans (institutional origination) would be properly capitalized in the price while vendor-financed loans (non-institutional origination) would be overcapitalized in house prices. The reason for the dual pricing response hinges on the discount rate used to calculate the benefit of below-market financing; it should be higher for vendor-financed loans due to the higher costs in loan origination and servicing for the seller as compared to a financial intermediary. The results indicated that assumption loans were properly capitalized in the price of single family homes as the coefficient of the creative financing variable assumed a value of approximately 1. The vendor-financed sample revealed that the benefit for below-market financing was overcapitalized in the price as the coefficient was generally in excess of 3. The research suggests that the market interest rate is not the appropriate discount rate to use in deriving the benefit from vendor-financed loans and possibly a higher rate should be used. This is an area which requires further study. A sample of house sales which includes information on the secondary yields of vendor-financing from sellers to other mortgage market participants should help to identify the true market rate for these non-institutional loans and provide for a more precise calculation of the present value of the payment savings in the case of vendor-financed loans.
Development and Mechanistic Investigation of Indium(III)-Catalysed Hydrosilane Reduction of Imines

description: Asymmetric catalysis continues to be of utmost importance inter alia for the development of enantiomerically pure drugs. The application of computational methods in understanding how enantioselectivity is induced in specific reactions is a powerful time-saving tool for organic chemists. By investigating the reaction pathway, specifically the enantiodetermining transition state, factors that result in an increased energy difference between the two enantiomeric transition states can be identified and thus employed for increasing the enantiomeric excess. Little is known regarding the achievement of enantioselectivity in indium(III)-catalysed reactions. Hence, the project described in this dissertation has started from scratch by generating the experimental data from which to build computational models. This dissertation starts with an introduction to the field of asymmetric catalysis, the advantages of indium as a catalyst and recent progress within indium-catalysed reactions. Following is a discussion of an extensive methodology project where complexes of In(III) and various functionalised BINOL ligands or BINOL derivatives have been investigated as catalysts for the hydrosilane reduction of imines. The functionalised BINOL ligands employed include a range of C1-symmetric BINOL ligands, which were synthesised as part of a project on optimising BINOL phosphoric acid ligands described in Chapter 2. Significant progress has been made towards the development of a catalyst complex capable of achieving an enantioselective In(III)-catalysed reduction. The developed methodology presented in this thesis represents a novel method for achieving enantioselectivity in prochiral substrates by the use of chiral ligands co-ordinating to an indium metal-centre. Enantiomeric excess was obtained only in polar, protic solvent systems, where up to 73% e.e. was achieved. The experimental work has been combined with computational investigations of potential complexes and mechanistic pathway calculations. The most plausible pathway, established from the computational investigations presented in this thesis, proceeds via the formation of an In(III)-hydride species. This hydride is then transferred to the imine in the manner observed in ruthenium-catalysed reactions. Preliminary results for an alternative active In(III)-In(III) dimeric complex is discussed. Extensive experimental mechanistic investigations are presented along with a substrate scope of the reaction. Finally, future perspectives are given on how the knowledge obtained regarding the enantiodetermining mode in the investigated hydrosilane reduction might be employed to achieve enantioselectivity in other In(III)-catalysed reactions.

description: ZnCr2O4 undergoes a first order spin-Peierls-like phase transition at 12.5 K from a cubic spin liquid phase to a tetragonal Neel state. Using powder diffraction and single crystal polarized neutron scattering, we determined the complex spin structure of the Neel phase. This phase consisted of several magnetic domains with different characteristic wave vectors. This indicates that the tetragonal phase of ZnCr2O4 is very close to a critical point surrounded by many different Neel states. We have also studied, using elastic and inelastic neutron scattering techniques, the effect of nonmagnetic dilution on magnetic correlations in ZnCr_{2-2x}Ga_{2x}O_4 (x=0.05 and 0.3). For x=0.05, the magnetic correlations do not change qualitatively from those in the pure material, except that the phase transition becomes second order. For x= 0.3, the spin-spin correlations become short range. Interestingly, the spatial correlations of the frozen spins in the x=0.3 material are the same as those of the fluctuating moments in the pure and the weakly diluted materials.

description: In this paper, we study the influence of the selective pressure on the performance of cellular genetic algorithms. Cellular genetic algorithms are genetic algorithms where the population is embedded on a toroidal grid. This structure makes the propagation of the best so far individual slow down, and allows to keep in the population potentially good solutions. We present two selective pressure reducing strategies in order to slow down even more the best solution propagation. We experiment these strategies on a hard optimization problem, the quadratic assignment problem, and we show that there is a value for of the control parameter for both which gives the best performance. This optimal value does not find explanation on only the selective pressure, measured either by take over time and diversity evolution. This study makes us conclude that we need other tools than the sole selective pressure measures to explain the performances of cellular genetic algorithms.

description: We propose a greedy reconstruction algorithm to find the probability distribution of a parameter characterizing an inhomogeneous spin ensemble in Nuclear Magnetic Resonace. The identification is based on the application of a number of constant control processes during a given time for which the final ensemble magnetization vector is measured. From these experimental data, we show that the identifiability of a piecewise constant approximation of the probability distribution is related to the invertibility of a matrix which depends on the different control protocols applied to the system. The algorithm aims to design specific controls which ensure that this matrix is as far as possible from a singular matrix. Numerical simulations reveal the efficiency of this algorithm on different examples. A systematic comparison with respect to random constant pulses is done.

Protostar Mass Due to Infall and Dispersal

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The mass of a protostar is calculated from the infall and dispersal of an isothermal sphere in a uniform background. For high contrast between peak and background densities and for short dispersal time t_d, the accretion is "self-limiting": gas beyond the core is dispersed before it accretes, and the protostar mass approaches a time-independent value of low mass. For lower density contrast and longer dispersal time, the accretion "runs away": gas accretes from beyond the core, and the protostar mass approaches massive star values. The final protostar mass is approximately the initial gas mass whose free-fall time equals t_d. This mass matches the peak of the IMF for gas temperature 10 K, peak and background densities 10^6 and 10^3 cm^-3, and for t_d comparable to the core free-fall time t_core. The accretion luminosity exceeds 1 L-Sun for 0.1 Myr, as in the "Class 0" phase. For t_d/t_core=0.4-0.8 and temperature 7-50 K, self-limiting protostar masses are 0.08-5 M-Sun. These protostar and core masses have ratio 0.4 +- 0.2, as expected if the core mass distribution and the IMF have the same shape.

description: Since 2002, the number of detected blazars at E_γ> 100 GeV has more than doubled. I study all currently known BL Lac-type objects with published energy spectra. Their intrinsic energy spectra are reconstructed by removing extragalactic background light attenuation effects. The emission properties are then compared and correlated among each other, with X-ray data, and with the individual black hole masses. In addition, I consider temporal properties of the very high energy gamma-ray flux. Key findings concern the flux--black hole mass and variability scale--black hole mass connections and the correlation of the spectral slope and the luminosity. As a specific application, the study allows to constrain the still undetermined redshift of the blazar PG 1553+113.

Radio Continuum Jet in NGC 7479

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The barred galaxy NGC 7479 hosts a remarkable jet-like radio continuum feature: bright, 12-kpc long in projection, and hosting an aligned magnetic field. The degree of polarization is 6%-8% along the jet, and remarkably constant, which is consistent with helical field models. The radio brightness of the jet suggests strong interaction with the ISM and hence a location near the disk plane. We observed NGC 7479 at four wavelengths with the VLA and Effelsberg radio telescopes. The equipartition strength is 35-40 micro-G for the total and >10 micro-G for the ordered magnetic field in the jet. The jet acts as a bright, polarized background. Faraday rotation between 3.5 and 6 cm and depolarization between 6 and 22 cm can be explained by magneto-ionic gas in front of the jet, with thermal electron densities of ~0.06 cm**(-3) in the bar and ~0.03 cm**(-3) outside the bar. The regular magnetic field along the bar points toward the nucleus on both sides. The regular field in the disk reveals multiple reversals, probably consisting of field loops stretched by a shearing gas flow in the bar. The projection of the jet bending in the sky plane is in the sense opposite to that of the underlying stellar and gaseous spiral structure. The bending in 3-D is most easily explained as a precessing jet, with an age less than 10**6 years. Our observations are consistent with very recent triggering, possibly by a minor merger. NGC 7479 provides a unique opportunity to study interaction-triggered 15-kpc scale radio jets within a spiral galaxy.

description: Interactive Machine Teaching systems allow users to create customized machine learning models through an iterative process of user-guided training and model assessment. They primarily offer confidence scores of each label or class as feedback for assessment by users. However, we observe that such feedback does not necessarily suffice for users to confirm the behavior of the model. In particular, confidence scores do not always offer the full understanding of what features in the data are used for learning, potentially leading to the creation of an incorrectly-trained model. In this demonstration paper, we present a vision-based interactive machine teaching interface with real-time saliency map visualization in the assessment phase. This visualization can offer feedback on which regions of each image frame the current model utilizes for classification, thus better guiding users to correct the corresponding concepts in the iterative teaching.

In the intermediate-mass region thermal radiation from the Quark-Gluon Plasma, evaluated perturbatively with hard-thermal loop corrections, takes over. An important source over the entire mass range are decays of correlated open-charm hadrons, rendering the nuclear modification of charm and bottom spectra a critical ingredient.

description: Using bag of words representations of time series is a popular approach to time series classification. These algorithms involve approximating and discretising windows over a series to form words, then forming a count of words over a given dictionary. Classifiers are constructed on the resulting histograms of word counts. A 2017 evaluation of a range of time series classifiers found the bag of symbolic-fourier approximation symbols (BOSS) ensemble the best of the dictionary based classifiers. It forms one of the components of hierarchical vote collective of transformation-based ensembles (HIVE-COTE), which represents the current state of the art. Since then, several new dictionary based algorithms have been proposed that are more accurate or more scalable (or both) than BOSS. We propose a further extension of these dictionary based classifiers that combines the best elements of the others combined with a novel approach to constructing ensemble members based on an adaptive Gaussian process model of the parameter space. We demonstrate that the temporal dictionary ensemble (TDE) is more accurate than other dictionary based approaches. Furthermore, unlike the other classifiers, if we replace BOSS in HIVE-COTE with TDE, HIVE-COTE is significantly more accurate. We also show this new version of HIVE-COTE is significantly more accurate than the current best deep learning approach, a recently proposed hybrid tree ensemble and a recently introduced competitive classifier making use of highly randomised convolutional kernels. This advance represents a new state of the art for time series classification.

description: We perform a new and updated analysis of sneutrinos as dark matter candidates, in different classes of supersymmetric models. We extend previous analyses by studying sneutrino phenomenology for full variations of the supersymmetric parameters which define the various models. We first revisit the standard Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, concluding that sneutrinos are marginally compatible with existing experimental bounds, including direct detection, provided they compose a subdominant component of dark matter. We then study supersymmetric models with the inclusion of right-handed fields and lepton-number violating terms. Simple versions of the lepton-number-violating models do not lead to phenomenology different from the standard case when the neutrino mass bounds are properly included. On the contrary, models with right-handed fields are perfectly viable: they predict sneutrinos which are compatible with the current direct detection sensitivities, both as subdominant and dominant dark matter components. We also study the indirect detection signals for such successful models: predictions for antiproton, antideuteron and gamma-ray fluxes are provided and compared with existing and future experimental sensitivities. The neutrino flux from the center of the Earth is also analyzed.

description: By varying the disorder realisation in the many-body localised (MBL) phase, we investigate the influence of resonances on spectral properties. The standard theory of the MBL phase is based on the existence of local integrals of motion (LIOM), and eigenstates of the time evolution operator can be described as LIOM configurations. We show that smooth variations of the disorder give rise to avoided level crossings, and we identify these with resonances between LIOM configurations. Through this parametric approach, we develop a theory for resonances in terms of standard properties of non-resonant LIOM. This framework describes resonances that are locally pairwise, and is appropriate in arbitrarily large systems deep within the MBL phase. We show that resonances are associated with large level curvatures on paths through the ensemble of disorder realisations, and we determine the curvature distribution. By considering the level repulsion associated with resonances we calculate the two-point correlator of the level density. We also find the distributions of matrix elements of local observables and discuss implications for low-frequency dynamics.

The random and systematic errors in the measured force signal are determined at the 95\% confidence level and combined into the total experimental error. The role of surface roughness and edge effects is investigated and shown to be negligibly small. The distribution of patch potentials is characterized by Kelvin probe microscopy, yielding an estimate of the typical size of patches, the respective r.m.s. voltage and their impact on the measured force. A comparison between the experimental results and theory is performed with no fitting parameters. For this purpose, the Casimir force in the sphere-plate geometry is computed independently on the basis of first principles of quantum electrodynamics using the scattering theory and the gradient expansion. In doing so, the frequency-dependent dielectric permittivity of Au is found from the optical data extrapolated to zero frequency by means of the plasma and Drude models. It is shown that the measurement results exclude the Drude model extrapolation over the region of separations from 0.2 to 4.8~$\upmu$m, whereas the alternative extrapolation by means of the plasma model is experimentally consistent over the entire measurement range. A discussion of the obtained results is provided.

Temperature dependence of the slip length in polymer melts at attractive surfaces

description: Using Couette and Poiseuille flow, we extract the temperature dependence of the slip length, $δ$, from molecular dynamics simulations of a coarse-grained polymer model in contact with an attractive, corrugated surface. $δ$ is dictated by the ratio of bulk viscosity and surface mobility. At weakly attractive surfaces, a lubrication layer forms, $δ$ is large and increases upon cooling. Close to the glass transition temperature, $T_ g$, very large slip lengths are observed. At a more attractive surface, a``stick y surface layer" is build up, which gives rise to a small slip length. Upon cool ing, $δ$ decreases at high temperatures, passes through a minimum and grows upon approaching $T_g$. At strongly attractive surfaces, the Navier-slip condit ion fails to describe Couette and Poiseuille flow simultaneously. The simulation results are corroborated by a schematic, two-layer model suggesting that the ob servations do not depend on the details of the computational model.

Finite Duration and Energy Effects in Lorentz-Violating Vacuum Cerenkov Radiation

description: Vacuum Cerenkov radiation is possible in certain Lorentz-violating quantum field theories, when very energetic charges move faster than the phase speed of light. In the presence of a CPT-even, Lorentz-violating modification of the photon sector, the character of the Cerenkov process is controlled by the high-frequency behavior of the radiation spectrum. The development of the Cerenkov process can be markedly different, depending on whether the only limits on the emission of very energetic photons come from energy-momentum conservation or whether there are additional effects that cut off the spectrum at high frequencies. Moreover, since the high-frequency cutoff determines the total rate at which an emitting charge loses energy, it also controls all aspects of the emission that are related to the process's finite duration.

Spin digitizer for high-fidelity readout of a cavity-coupled silicon triple quantum dot

description: An important requirement for spin-based quantum information processing is reliable and fast readout of electron spin states, allowing for feedback and error correction. However, common readout techniques often require additional gate structures hindering device scaling or impose stringent constraints on the tuning configuration of the sensed quantum dots. Here, we operate an in-line charge sensor within a triple quantum dot, where one of the dots is coupled to a microwave cavity and used to readout the charge states of the other two dots. Owing to the proximity of the charge sensor, we observe a near-digital sensor response with a power signal-to-noise ratio >450 at an integration time of $t_{\rm int}$ = 1 $μ$s. Despite small singlet-triplet splittings $\approx$40 $μ$eV, we further utilize the sensor to measure the spin relaxation time of a singlet-triplet qubit, achieving an average single-shot spin readout fidelity >99%. Our approach enables high-fidelity spin readout, combining minimal device overhead with flexible qubit operation in semiconductor quantum devices.
Gibbons-Hawking Boundary Terms and Junction Conditions for Higher-Order Brane Gravity Models

description: We derive the most general junction conditions for the fourth-order brane gravity constructed of arbitrary functions of curvature invariants. We reduce these fourth-order theories to second order theories at the expense of introducing new scalar and tensor fields - the scalaron and the tensoron. In order to obtain junction conditions we apply the method of generalized Gibbons-Hawking boundary terms which are appended to the appropriate actions. After assuming the continuity of the scalaron and the tensoron on the brane, we recover junction conditions for such general brane universe models previously obtained by different methods. The derived junction conditions can serve studying the cosmological implications of the higher-order brane gravity models.

Mapping Traits on a Cladogram of Dragons to Learn Convergent & Divergent Evolution
Creators: name: McPheron, Linda
Publisher: name: QUBES Educational Resources
Year: 2025

description: This activity allows students to understand the concepts of both divergent and convergent evolution by allowing them to map traits onto hypothetical dragons. This removes the need for them to know what organisms or groups are considered closely related to each other. They map 2 divergent traits near the base of the cladogram of dragons and explain how these 2 traits evolved. Then they map 2 traits that show convergent evolution onto the cladogram and explain how they may have evolved independently in the 2 groups of dragons. They can also explain how other mythical creatures may have also independently evolved these traits, which also shows convergent evolution.

description: An experimental apparatus measuring free-surface deformation of a centrifuged granular pile is developed. By horizontally rotating a quasi two-dimensional granular pile whose apex is located at the vertical rotation axis, the resultant force of gravity and centrifuge yields the deformation of the granular pile. In this setup, centrifugal force depends on distance from the rotation axis whilst gravitational force is constant everywhere. Therefore, free-surface deformation by various centrifuge degrees can be systematically examined using this apparatus. In the system, a small unit consisting of a camera and computer is rotated with the granular sample to record the rotation-induced deformation. To evaluate the validity of the system, deformation of a rotated water surface is first measured and analyzed. The obtained data are properly explained by the theoretical parabolas without any fitting parameter. Next, we measure the deformation of non-cohesive and cohesive granular piles using the developed apparatus. Both granular samples show the significant deformation of granular pile and finally develop steep granular slopes on the side walls. However, details of the deformation processes depend on the cohesion strength. To quantitatively characterize the difference, the effective strength by cohesion and granular local-slope variations are analyzed based on the experimental results.

description: We investigate the effects of two dimensional confinement on the lasing properties of a classical random laser system operating in the incoherent feedback (diffusive) regime. A suspension of 250nm rutile (TiO2) particles in a Rhodamine 6G solution was inserted into the hollow core of a photonic crystal fiber (PCF) generating the first random fiber laser and a novel quasi-one-dimensional RL geometry. Comparison with similar systems in bulk format shows that the random fiber laser presents an efficiency that is at least two orders of magnitude higher.

Toroidal $\&$ orbifold compactifications at large D and D-duality

Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this paper I will further investigate the spectrum of quantum gravity or string theories at large number of dimensions. We will see that volumes of certain orbifolds shrink at large D. It follows that the mass spectra of the leading Kaluza-Klein towers and also of wrapped brane states on these orbifolds possess a non-trivial dependence on D: KK modes become heavy at large D, whereas wrapped branes become light. This observation can be used either to apply the Large Dimension Conjecture or, as we will do, to investigate the possibility of a D-duality symmetry, which relates in gravity compactifications of different dimensions. We will set up the general rules for D-duality in higher dimensional gravity. However due to existence of the critical dimensions, D-duality is quite restricted in string theory. As simple tests for D-duality in string theory, we will discuss the duality between M-theory on a two-dimensional orbifold, namely the Möbius strip, and an IIB S-fold on a circle, which corresponds to the heterotic CHL string, as well the duality between a (truncated) 12-dimensional theory on a three-dimensional orbifold and another IIB S-fold compactification. Finally I also comment on the possible existence of exotic theories at large D.
