Investigating nuclear structure through gamma-ray and electron spectroscopy with Solenogam
Creators: name: Gerathy, Matthew
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2020

description: This thesis reports on the continued development of the Solenogam system following the installation of a new 8-T solenoid. Solenogam is an array designed at the Australian National University Heavy Ion Accelerator Facility (ANU-HIAF) for γ-ray and electron spectroscopy. Coupled to a gas-filled magnetic solenoid (SOLITAIRE), the system enables the study of long-lived nuclear states in a low-background environment. The combination of γ-ray and electron detectors allows a wide range of spectroscopic information to be obtained with the energy and ordering of nuclear states extracted from γ-γ coincidences and transition multipolarities assigned using conversion coefficients extracted from the electron data. Furthermore, the collection of γ-e − coincidences allows conversion coefficients to be extracted for complex level schemes as contaminating electron lines can be removed using γ-ray gates. In order to better understand the behaviour of the array, a simulation of Solenogam has been developed using the Geant4 libraries. Alongside this, two measurements were conducted with the array. In the first, electric monopole (E0) transitions were investigated in 184Pt and 190Pt in order to benchmark Solenogam’s capabilities for characterising these transitions. As E0 transitions are sensitive to changes in the nuclear charge distribution and hence the nuclear shape, they are an ideal probe of shape coexistence, a phenomenon where competing nuclear shapes exist at similar excitation energies. The known 184Pt level scheme contains several coexisting structures and mixed M1/E2/E0 transitions, making for an ideal test case. The results of this measurements were consistent with previously reported values; however, no new spectroscopic information was obtained from the measured data. In the second measurement, the decay of a (49/2 +) isomer in 145Sm was studied. High-spin isomers have been reported in almost all the N = 83 isotones near Z = 64 and, while these states have been interpreted as deformed shape isomers, in several cases the spin and parity assignments remain tentative. A revised half life of 3.52(16) µs has been measured and firm spin and parity assignments were made based on conversion coefficients. These results indicated that the previously reported 145Sm level scheme was incorrect and a new state at 8815-keV has been proposed as the high-spin isomer. This new level scheme was understood using shell-model calculations and analysis of the systematics of the N = 83 isotone chain.

description: We present a general method to bosonize systems of Fermions with infinitely many degrees of freedom, in particular systems of non-relativistic electrons at positive density, by expressing the quantized conserved electric charge- and current density in terms of a bosonic antisymmetric tensorfield of a rank d--1, where d is the dimension of space. This enables us to make concepts and tools from gauge theory available for the purpose of analyzing electronic structure of non-relativistic matter. We apply our bosonization identities and concepts from gauge theory, such as Wegner -'t Hooft duality, to a variety of systems of condensed matter physics: Landau-Fermi liquids, Hall fluids, London superconductors, etc.. Among our results are an exact formula for the plasmon gap in a metal, a simple derivation of the Anderson-Higgs mechanism in superconductors, and an analysis of the orthogonality catastrophe for static sources.

description: Constructed to satisfy all known exact constraints and appropriate norms for a semilocal density functional, the strongly constrained and appropriately normed (SCAN) meta-generalized gradient approximation functional has shown early promise for accurately describing the electronic structure of molecules and solids. One open question is how well SCAN predicts the formation energy, a key quantity for describing the thermodynamic stability of solid-state compounds. To answer this question, we perform an extensive benchmark of SCAN by computing the formation energies for a diverse group of nearly one thousand crystalline compounds for which experimental values are known. Due to an enhanced exchange interaction in the covalent bonding regime, SCAN substantially decreases the formation energy errors for strongly-bound compounds, by approximately 50% to 110 meV/atom, as compared to the generalized gradient approximation of Perdew, Burke, and Ernzerhof (PBE). However, for intermetallic compounds, SCAN performs moderately worse than PBE with an increase in formation energy error of approximately 20%, stemming from SCAN's distinct behavior in the weak bonding regime. The formation energy errors can be further reduced via elemental chemical potential fitting. We find that SCAN leads to significantly more accurate predicted crystal volumes, moderately enhanced magnetism, and mildly improved band gaps as compared to PBE. Overall, SCAN represents a significant improvement in accurately describing the thermodynamics of strongly-bound compounds.

description: We demonstrate that a supersymmetric theory twisted on a Kähler four manifold $M=Σ_1 \times Σ_2 ,$ where $Σ_{1,2}$ are 2D Riemann surfaces, possesses a "left-moving" conformal stress tensor on $Σ_1$ ($Σ_2$) in the BRST cohomology. The central charge of the Virasoro algebra has a purely geometric origin and is proportional to the Euler characteristic of the $Σ_2$ ($Σ_1$) surface. This structure is shown to be invariant under renormalization group. We also give a representation of the algebra $W_{1+\infty}$ in terms of a free chiral supermultiplet.

description: The Central Andes in northwestern Argentina are characterized by steep topographic and climatic gradients. The humid foreland areas at 1 km asl elevation rapidly rise to over 5 km in the eastern Cordillera, and they form an orographic rainfall barrier on the eastern windward side. This topographic setting combined with seasonal moisture transport through the South American monsoon system leads to intense rainstorms with cascading effects such as landsliding and flooding. In order to better quantify the dynamics of water vapour transport, we use high-temporal-resolution global navigation satellite system (GNSS) remote sensing techniques. We are particularly interested in better understanding the dynamics of high-magnitude storms with high water vapour amounts that have destructive effects on human infrastructure. We used an existing GNSS station network with 12 years of time series data, and we installed two new ground stations along the climatic gradient and collected GNSS time series data for three years. For several stations we calculated the GNSS signal delay gradient to determine water vapour transport direction. Our statistical analysis combines in situ rainfall measurements and ERA5 reanalysis data to reveal the water vapour transport mechanism for the study area. The results show a strong relationship between altitude and the water vapour content, as well as between the transportation pathways and the topography.
Asymptotic Theory for Linear Mixed Effects Models With Large Cluster Size
Creators: name: Lyu, Ziyang
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2020

description: This thesis first deals with asymptotic results for the maximum likelihood and restricted maximum likelihood (REML) estimators of the parameters in the nested error regression model when both the number of independent clusters and the cluster sizes (the number of observations in each cluster) go to infinity. A set of conditions is given under which the estimators are shown to be asymptotically normal. There are no restrictions on the rate at which the cluster size tends to infinity. Moreover, this thesis deals with the estimated distributions of the estimated best linear unbiased predictors (EBLUP) of the random effects, with ML/REML, estimated variance components, converge to the true distributions of the corresponding random effects, when both of the number of independent clusters and the cluster sizes (the number of observations in each cluster) go to infinity.

description: Standard methods of data assimilation assume prior knowledge of a model that describes the system dynamics and an observation function that maps the model state to a predicted output. An accurate mapping from model state to observation space is crucial in filtering schemes when adjusting the estimate of the system state during the filter's analysis step. However, in many applications the true observation function may be unknown and the available observation model may have significant errors, resulting in a suboptimal state estimate. We propose a method for observation model error correction within the filtering framework. The procedure involves an alternating minimization algorithm used to iteratively update a given observation function to increase consistency with the model and prior observations, using ideas from attractor reconstruction. The method is demonstrated on the Lorenz 1963 and Lorenz 1996 models, and on a single-column radiative transfer model with multicloud parameterization.
On Transformations Preserving the Basis Conditions of a Spin Structure Group in Four-Dimensional Super String Theory in Free Fermionic Formulation
Creators: name: Kholodnyi, Valery A.

Year: 1994
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: Let $Ξ$ stand for a finite abelian spin structure group of four-dimensional superstring theory in free fermionic formulation whose elements are 64-dimensional vectors (spin structure vectors) with rational entries belonging to $\rbrack -1,\, 1\rbrack $ and the group operation is the $mod\, \, 2 $ entry by entry summation $\oplus $ of these vectors. Let $B=\{b_i,\, i= 1,\cdots ,k+1\}$ be a set of spin structure vectors such that $b_i$ have only entries 0 and 1 for any $\, i= 1,\cdots ,k$, while $b_{k+1}$ is allowed to have any rational entries belonging to $\rbrack -1,\, 1\rbrack $ with even $N_{k+1}$, where $N_{k+1}$ stands for the least positive integer such that $N_{k+1}b_{k+1}= 0\,mod\,2$. Let $B$ be a basis of $Ξ$, i.e., let $B$ generate $Ξ$, and let $Λ_{m, n}$ stand for the transformation of $B$ which replaces $b_n$ by $b_m\oplus b_n$ for any $m \ne k+1$, $n \ne 1$, $m \ne n$. We prove that if $B$ satisfies the axioms for a basis of spin structure group $Ξ$, then $B'=Λ_{m, n}B$ also satisfies the axioms. Since the transformations $Λ_{m,n}$ for different $m$ and $n$ generate all nondegenerate transformations of the basis $B$ that preserve the vector $b_1$ and a single vector $ b_{k+1} $ with general rational entries, we conclude that the axioms are conditions for the whole group $Ξ$ and not just conditions for a particular choice of its basis. Hence, these transformations generate the discrete symmetry group of four-dimensional superstring models in free fermionic formulation.

description: We present Spitzer Space Telescope time-series photometry at 3.6 and 4.5 $μ$m of 2MASS J11193254$-$1137466AB and WISEA J114724.10$-$204021.3, two planetary-mass, late-type ($\sim$L7) brown dwarf members of the $\sim$10 Myr old TW Hya Association. These observations were taken in order to investigate whether or not a tentative trend of increasing variability amplitude with decreasing surface gravity seen for L3-L5.5 dwarfs extends to later-L spectral types and to explore the angular momentum evolution of low-mass objects. We examine each light curve for variability and find a rotation period of 19.39$^{+0.33}_{-0.28}$ hours and semi-amplitudes of 0.798$^{+0.081}_{-0.083}$% at 3.6 $μ$m and 1.108$^{+0.093}_{-0.094}$% at 4.5 $μ$m for WISEA J114724.10$-$204021.3. For 2MASS J11193254$-$1137466AB, we find a single period of 3.02$^{+0.04}_{-0.03}$ hours with semi-amplitudes of 0.230$^{+0.036}_{-0.035}$% at 3.6 $μ$m and 0.453 $\pm$ 0.037% at 4.5 $μ$m, which we find is possibly due to the rotation of one component of the binary. Combining our results with 12 other late-type L dwarfs observed with Spitzer from the literature, we find no significant differences between the 3.6 $μ$m amplitudes of low surface gravity and field gravity late-type L brown dwarfs at Spitzer wavelengths, and find tentative evidence (75% confidence) of higher amplitude variability at 4.5 $μ$m for young, late-type Ls. We also find a median rotation period of young brown dwarfs (10-300 Myr) of $\sim$10 hr, more than twice the value of the median rotation period of field age brown dwarfs ($\sim$4 hr), a clear signature of brown dwarf rotational evolution.

description: We show how the Newtonian potential between two heavy masses can be computed in simplicial quantum gravity. On the lattice we compute correlations between Wilson lines associated with the heavy particles and which are closed by the lattice periodicity. We check that the continuum analog of this quantity reproduces the Newtonian potential in the weak field expansion. In the smooth anti-de Sitter-like phase, which is the only phase where a sensible lattice continuum limit can be constructed in this model, we attempt to determine the shape and mass dependence of the attractive potential close to the critical point in $G$. It is found that non-linear graviton interactions give rise to a potential which is Yukawa-like, with a mass parameter that decreases towards the critical point where the average curvature vanishes. In the vicinity of the critical point we give an estimate for the effective Newton constant.

description: Mitochondrial genetic markers have been extensively used to study the phylogenetics and phylogeography of many birds, including seabirds of the order Procellariiformes. Evidence suggests that part of the mitochondrial genome of Procellariiformes, especially albatrosses, is duplicated, but no DNA fragment covering the entire duplication has been sequenced. We sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome of a non-albatross species of Procellariiformes, Puffinus lherminieri (Audubon’s shearwater) using the long-read MinION (ONT) technology. Two mitogenomes were assembled from the same individual, differing by 52 SNPs and in length. The shorter was 19 kb long while the longer was 21 kb, due to the presence of two identical copies of nad6, three tRNA, and two dissimilar copies of the control region (CR). Contrary to albatrosses, cob was not duplicated. We further detected a complex repeated region of undetermined length between the CR and 12S. Long-read sequencing suggests heteroplasmy and a novel arrangement within the duplicated region, indicating a complex evolution of the mitogenome in Procellariiformes.

description: SuMu on Exceli-põhine digitaalne tööriist, millega hinnata Eestis toimuvate rahvusvahelise mõjuga kultuuri- ja spordisündmuste sotsiaal-majanduslikku mõju. See on prognoosivõimeline mudel, mis võimaldab hinnata potentsiaalsete ja tegelike Eestis korraldatavate sündmuste mõju seda võõrustavale kohalikule omavalitsusele, Eestile ning sündmuse korraldajatele ja teistele toetajatele.

SuMu kasutajatena nähakse peamiselt riigiasutusi, kohalikke omavalitsusi ning sündmuste korraldajaid. Korraldajad saavad sellega prognoosida oma sündmuse üldist mõju ja kasumlikkust, riigiasutused ja omavalitsused saavad kasutada mudelit näiteks toetuste maksmisega seotud otsuste tegemisel. Seega on mudeli peamine eesmärk võimaldada nii avalikul kui ka erasektoril teha paremaid otsuseid suurte sündmuste Eestisse toomisel ja nende tulususe tagamisel. Mudel on rakendatav eelkõige suurtel, 2000 – 50 000 külastajaga sündmustel.

SuMu mõõdab sündmuste sotsiaal-majanduslikku mõju. Selle alla kuuluvad sotsiaalne mõju sündmust võõrustava omavalitsuse elanikele ning majanduslik mõju Eestile ja kohalikule omavalitsusele. Majanduslik mõju hõlmab muu hulgas pikaajalist mõju, mis tuleneb paranenud kuvandist ja tänu sellele tulevikus saabuvatest külastajatest. Mudel võtab arvesse, et sündmuse külastajad maksavad pileti, ööbimise, toitlustuse, transpordi jm eest ning osalevad kohalikus elus.

SuMu teoreetiline baas ja mudeli struktuur on loodud, tuginedes varasemale teaduskirjandusele ja mudelitele, mis käsitlevad sündmuste ja turismi eri tüüpi mõjusid üle maailma. Teoreetilised seosed kvantifitseeriti, kasutades projekti käigus vaadeldud 10 spordi- ja 10 kultuurisündmuse ning varasemate uuringute käigus kogutud andmeid. Kuigi SuMu ei suuda pikaajalise majandusliku ehk kuvandi mõju ulatust väga täpselt mõõta ja seda tasub käsitleda pigem suurusjärgu hinnanguna, on see autoritele teadaolevalt siiski esimene mudel, mis seda eri tüüpi sündmuste puhul teeb. Lisaks on SuMu prognoosivõimeline ning loodud töötama just Eesti oludes.

description: Microresonator-based nonlinear processes are fundamental to applications including microcomb generation, parametric frequency conversion, and harmonics generation. While nonlinear processes involving either second- ($χ^{(2)}$) or third- $χ^{(3)}$) order nonlinearity have been extensively studied, the interaction between these two basic nonlinear processes has seldom been reported. In this letter, we demonstrate a coherent interplay between second- and third- order nonlinear processes. The parametric ($χ^{(2)})$ coupling to a lossy ancillary mode shortens the lifetime of the target photonic mode and suppresses its density of states, preventing the photon emissions into the target photonic mode via Zeno effect. Such effect is then used to control the stimulated four-wave mixing process and realize a suppression ratio of $34.5$.

description: We discuss the mechanism of spontaneous symmetry breaking and the elementary excitations for a weakly-interacting Bose gas at finite temperature. We consider both the non-relativistic case, described by the Gross-Pitaevskii equation, and the relativistic one, described by the cubic nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation. We analyze similarities and differences in the two equations and, in particular, in the phase and amplitude modes (i.e. Goldstone and Higgs modes) of the bosonic matter field. We show that the coupling between phase and amplitude modes gives rise to a single gapless Bogoliubov spectrum in the non-relativistic case. Instead, in the relativistic case the spectrum has two branches: one is gapless and the other is gapped. In the non-relativistic limit we find that the relativistic spectrum reduces to the Bogoliubov one. Finally, as an application of the above analysis, we consider the Bose-Hubbard model close to the superfluid-Mott quantum phase transition and we investigate the elementary excitations of its effective action, which contains both non-relativistic and relativistic terms.

description: SuMu on Exceli-põhine digitaalne tööriist, millega hinnata Eestis toimuvate rahvusvahelise mõjuga kultuuri- ja spordisündmuste sotsiaal-majanduslikku mõju. See on prognoosivõimeline mudel, mis võimaldab hinnata potentsiaalsete ja tegelike Eestis korraldatavate sündmuste mõju seda võõrustavale kohalikule omavalitsusele, Eestile ning sündmuse korraldajatele ja teistele toetajatele.

SuMu kasutajatena nähakse peamiselt riigiasutusi, kohalikke omavalitsusi ning sündmuste korraldajaid. Korraldajad saavad sellega prognoosida oma sündmuse üldist mõju ja kasumlikkust, riigiasutused ja omavalitsused saavad kasutada mudelit näiteks toetuste maksmisega seotud otsuste tegemisel. Seega on mudeli peamine eesmärk võimaldada nii avalikul kui ka erasektoril teha paremaid otsuseid suurte sündmuste Eestisse toomisel ja nende tulususe tagamisel. Mudel on rakendatav eelkõige suurtel, 2000 – 50 000 külastajaga sündmustel.

SuMu mõõdab sündmuste sotsiaal-majanduslikku mõju. Selle alla kuuluvad sotsiaalne mõju sündmust võõrustava omavalitsuse elanikele ning majanduslik mõju Eestile ja kohalikule omavalitsusele. Majanduslik mõju hõlmab muu hulgas pikaajalist mõju, mis tuleneb paranenud kuvandist ja tänu sellele tulevikus saabuvatest külastajatest. Mudel võtab arvesse, et sündmuse külastajad maksavad pileti, ööbimise, toitlustuse, transpordi jm eest ning osalevad kohalikus elus.

SuMu teoreetiline baas ja mudeli struktuur on loodud, tuginedes varasemale teaduskirjandusele ja mudelitele, mis käsitlevad sündmuste ja turismi eri tüüpi mõjusid üle maailma. Teoreetilised seosed kvantifitseeriti, kasutades projekti käigus vaadeldud 10 spordi- ja 10 kultuurisündmuse ning varasemate uuringute käigus kogutud andmeid. Kuigi SuMu ei suuda pikaajalise majandusliku ehk kuvandi mõju ulatust väga täpselt mõõta ja seda tasub käsitleda pigem suurusjärgu hinnanguna, on see autoritele teadaolevalt siiski esimene mudel, mis seda eri tüüpi sündmuste puhul teeb. Lisaks on SuMu prognoosivõimeline ning loodud töötama just Eesti oludes.
Canonical Transformations and Path Integral Measures

description: This paper is a generalization of previous work on the use of classical canonical transformations to evaluate Hamiltonian path integrals for quantum mechanical systems. Relevant aspects of the Hamiltonian path integral and its measure are discussed and used to show that the quantum mechanical version of the classical transformation does not leave the measure of the path integral invariant, instead inducing an anomaly. The relation to operator techniques and ordering problems is discussed, and special attention is paid to incorporation of the initial and final states of the transition element into the boundary conditions of the problem. Classical canonical transformations are developed to render an arbitrary power potential cyclic. The resulting Hamiltonian is analyzed as a quantum system to show its relation to known quantum mechanical results. A perturbative argument is used to suppress ordering related terms in the transformed Hamiltonian in the event that the classical canonical transformation leads to a nonquadratic cyclic Hamiltonian. The associated anomalies are analyzed to yield general methods to evaluate the path integral's prefactor for such systems. The methods are applied to several systems, including linear and quadratic potentials, the velocity-dependent potential, and the time-dependent harmonic oscillator.

Sentences with Gapping: Parsing and Reconstructing Elided Predicates

description: Sentences with gapping, such as Paul likes coffee and Mary tea, lack an overt predicate to indicate the relation between two or more arguments. Surface syntax representations of such sentences are often produced poorly by parsers, and even if correct, not well suited to downstream natural language understanding tasks such as relation extraction that are typically designed to extract information from sentences with canonical clause structure. In this paper, we present two methods for parsing to a Universal Dependencies graph representation that explicitly encodes the elided material with additional nodes and edges. We find that both methods can reconstruct elided material from dependency trees with high accuracy when the parser correctly predicts the existence of a gap. We further demonstrate that one of our methods can be applied to other languages based on a case study on Swedish.

description: The present study evaluates the effectiveness of fractional carbon dioxide (CO2) laser for the treatment of burn scars. Literature search was conducted in electronic databases and studies were selected by following pre-determined eligibility criteria. Random effect meta-analyses were performed to achieve the effect size of the changes (mean difference (MD) between post-treatment and pretreatment values) in selected scar assessment scale scores and other important outcome measures. 14 studies were included. Treatment of burn scars with fractional CO2 laser significantly improved Vancouver Scar Scale (MD −3.01 [95% confidence interval (CI) −3.79, −2.22]; p ˂ .00001), Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS)– Patient (MD −14.38 [95% CI −17.62, −11.13]; p ˂ .00001, POSAS – Observer (MD −8.81 [9% CI −11.60, −6.02]; p ˂ .00001 and Scar Assessment Scale (MD 1.64 [95% CI 0.49, 2.78]; p = .005) scores especially with regards to pigmentation, vascularity, pliability, and height of scar. Pain and pruritis also improved with this treatment. Scar thickness measured with ultrasonography decreased non-significantly (MD −0.48 [95% CI −1.04, 0.09]; p = .1) whereas cutometer measures, R0 (scar firmness) and R2 (scar elasticity) did not change meaningfully. Fractional CO2 laser therapy is a valuable tool for the treatment of burn scars which has potential for reducing scar severity.

Female board representation and corporate performance: an Australian perspective
Creators: name: Bayly, Nicholas
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2020

description: This thesis contributes to the extensive literature on female board representation and corporate performance. It comprises three papers that present new research on this topic, primarily in an Australian context. In Chapter 2, I provide a thorough overview of the current state of knowledge, detailing a diverse array of methodologies and findings, and emphasising the endogeneity issues that plague the literature. I demonstrate that, despite many claims to the contrary in the popular press, there is no genuine consensus in the literature that women's presence or appointment as corporate directors either positively or negatively influences firms' financial performance. In Chapter 3, I generate a new dataset from records of female appointments to non-executive directorships at companies listed on the Australian Securities Exchange. I use this dataset to perform an event study examining the effect of these announcements on share price, and implement a range of parametric and non-parametric tests. The results fail to provide consistent evidence of a general effect; they also suggest no such effect is present for large firms specifically. In Chapter 4, I use Australian data to replicate, then extend two significant studies examining the link between women's presence on boards and a range of accounting and market-based measures of financial performance. I also briefly examine gendered differences in board members' remuneration and attendance. The results differ substantially according to a range of methodological choices (e.g. controls, modelling technique and sample group), but generally do not support the conclusion that female board representation affects financial performance.

description: John Waterlow was an inspiring clinical and laboratory-based nutritional scientist, who was recognized as paterfamilias of a large, international and influential group of distinguished acolytes. His early work was characterized by study of the nature and clinical management of infantile malnutrition, notably as director of the MRC's Tropical Metabolism Research Unit which he established in Jamaica in 1954. His London period, from 1970 until and beyond his official retirement in 1982, involved him as Head of the Nutrition Department at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine. Here he established a Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism Unit to continue his experimental animal and human studies researching protein metabolism; he also assumed the role of the the UK's most influential public health nutritionist, becoming President of the Nutrition Society. Like all great scientists, his work encompassed a very wide range of scientific disciplines, although he modestly described himself as a physiologist, consistent with his primary Cambridge training. Above all, throughout his career, he was happiest as an experimentalist at the bench, from his first assignment studying heat stroke of British troops in the Iraq desert during the Second World War to his measurement of [15N] enrichment in urea as part of his study of whole-body protein turnover just prior to his retirement, working with an isotope ratio mass spectrometer which, like much of the equipment he used, he had largely assembled himself.

description: Let $V$ be a vector space of dimension $d$ over $F_q$, a finite field of $q$ elements, and let $G \le GL(V) \cong GL_d(q)$ be a linear group. A base of $G$ is a set of vectors whose pointwise stabiliser in $G$ is trivial. We prove that if $G$ is a quasisimple group (i.e. $G$ is perfect and $G/Z(G)$ is simple) acting irreducibly on $V$, then excluding two natural families, $G$ has a base of size at most 6. The two families consist of alternating groups ${\rm Alt}_m$ acting on the natural module of dimension $d = m-1$ or $m-2$, and classical groups with natural module of dimension $d$ over subfields of $F_q$.
Computable invariants for links in the three-torus
Creators: name: Masoudian, Sahar
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2020

description: This work contributes to our knowledge of a type of crystal called rod packings by viewing them as links in the three-torus and computing the fundamental group of their complementary space, which is a topological invariant for these structures. Topological notions play an important role in chemistry. Chemists need the topological properties of crystalline materials for better understanding of their connectivity and classification [Ockwig et al., 2005]. We extend some standard invariants in knot theory from the normal case of knots and links in the three-torusto the case of knots and links in the three-torus. The fundamental group of the complement of knots and links is selected in this study. Although this invariant is not a complete invariant as we show in Chapter 3, it is still a strong invariant to compute. It is possible to compute this invariant by hand for simple examples in this thesis, and there are practical algorithms for computing the presentation of more complicated examples such as helical weavings [Evans et al., 2013]. We compute this invariant to classify the structures described in O'Keeffe et al. [2001] topologically, then we compare our equivalency classes with ambient isotopy of weavings [Evans et al., 2013] produced by a physical simulation for these periodic structures (called PB-SONO algorithm). In Grishanov et al. [2009], doubly periodic structures are considered for computing some numerical invariants, which leads us to enumerate some easier invariants such as the number of components. However, these invariants are not sufficient to discriminate the 3-periodic structures in our case, since some of them have the same invariants. For our computations, we use the standard techniques in knot theory from Rolfsen [1976] and some works on the topology of the three-torus from Johnson [2006]. As it was mentioned, we compute the fundamental group of the complement of these links (structures from crystallography). This invariant is sufficient to prove these structures are distinct within the 3-torus. Then we generalise the example of Whitehead links [Whitehead, 1937] in the 3-torus by using a twisting homeomorphism in a handlebody (with boundary of P-surface) from the standard Heegaard splitting of the 3-torus. This shows that the complementary space is not a complete invariant for links in the 3-torus.

description: $\chat=1$ fermionic string theory, which is considered as a fermionic string theory in two dimension, is shown to decompose into two mutually independent parts, one of which can be viewed as a topological model and the other is irrelevant for the theory. The physical contents of the theory is largely governed by this topological structure, and the discrete physical spectrum of $\chat=1$ string theory is naturally explained as the physical spectrum of the topological model. This topological structure turns out to be related with a novel hidden $N=2$ superconformal algebra (SCA) in the enveloping algebra of the $N=3$ SCA in fermionic string theories.
