description: We present an extension of the canonical coupled mode theory of electromagnetic waves to the case of pulses and spatio-temporal perturbations in complex media. Unlike previous attempts to derive such a model, our approach involves no approximation, and does not impose any restriction on the spatio-temporal profile. Moreover, the effect of modal dispersion on mode evolution and on the coupling to other modes is fully taken into account. Thus, our approach can yield any required accuracy by retaining as many terms in the expansion as needed. It also avoids various artifacts of previous derivations by introducing the correct form of the solution. We then provide what is, to the best of our knowledge, the first ever validation of the coupled mode equations with exact numerical simulations, and demonstrate the wide range of possibilities enabled by spatio-temporal perturbations of pulses, including pulse shortening or broadening or more complex shaping. Our formulation is valid across the electromagnetic spectrum, and can be applied directly also to other wave systems.

Επιχειρείται αρχικά η αποσαφήνιση της έννοιας της παραπληροφόρησης, μέσω της παράθεσης διαφορετικών απόψεων σχετικά με τον ορισμό του φαινομένου, αλλά και η διάκρισή της από τον δημοφιλή όρο «fake news». Ακολουθεί εκτενής παρουσίαση και ανάλυση των πρωτοβουλιών των θεσμικών οργάνων της Ε.Ε., προς την κατεύθυνση της θεσμικής αντιμετώπισης του φαινομένου. Ιδιαίτερη έμφαση δίνεται στον Κώδικα Δεοντολογίας της Ε.Ε. για την παραπληροφόρηση, ο οποίος έχει υπογραφεί από τις μεγάλες πλατφόρμες και προάγει ένα αυτορρυθμιστικό μοντέλο αντιμετώπισης του φαινομένου. Με το Σχέδιο Δράσης της Ε.Ε. για την αντιμετώπιση της παραπληροφόρησης ορίζονται για πρώτη φορά συγκεκριμένες δράσεις, στις οποίες πρέπει να προβούν τα θεσμικά όργανα της Ε.Ε. σε συνεργασία με το κράτη – μέλη και το Ευρωπαϊκό Κοινοβούλιο. Αναφορά γίνεται και στην υπό ψήφιση Πρόταση για τις ψηφιακές υπηρεσίες, η οποία δεν αφορά ρητά στην ρύθμιση του φαινομένου της παραπληροφόρησης, αλλά περιέχει διατάξεις που μπορεί να συμβάλουν στην αντιμετώπισή του. Στη συνέχεια, γίνεται μία προσπάθεια επεξήγησης της συμβολής των λεγόμενων «social bots» στην υπερταχεία διάδοση της παραπληροφόρησης και παρουσιάζονται ορισμένοι τρόποι τεχνικής αντιμετώπισης του φαινομένου. Τονίζεται η ανάγκη διεπιστημονικής συνεργασίας, αλλά και συνεργασίας της επιστημονικής κοινότητας με τους παρόχους, προς την κατεύθυνση της αποτελεσματικής αντιμετώπισης του φαινομένου. Όλα τα παραπάνω συνοδεύονται από ανησυχίες και προβληματισμούς σχετικά με τους πιθανούς περιορισμούς που μπορεί να συνεπάγονται οι ρυθμιστικές προσπάθειες, για το δικαίωμα στην ελευθερία της έκφρασης. Σε αυτό το πλαίσιο αναλύεται και το πρόσφατο παράδειγμα της απαγόρευσης αναμετάδοσης περιεχομένου από τα ρωσικά μέσα ενημέρωσης εντός της Ε.Ε. Η παραπληροφόρηση είναι ένα παλαιό πρόβλημα που έχει λάβει νέες διαστάσεις λόγω των υφιστάμενων τεχνολογικών δυνατοτήτων. Η ρύθμιση και τελικά η αντιμετώπισή της συνδέεται άμεσα με την οριστική αποσαφήνιση του περιεχομένου της που επιδέχεται ρύθμισης. Το βέβαιο είναι ότι η αποτελεσματική καταπολέμηση του φαινομένου της παραπληροφόρησης δεν θα επιτευχθεί, χωρίς την «ψηφιακή εκπαίδευση» των πολιτών, ώστε να είναι σε θέση να λαμβάνουν τεκμηριωμένες αποφάσεις σχετικά με την αξιοπιστία ή μη του περιεχομένου που τους διατίθεται.

description: In this paper, we study KM-arcs of type t, i.e. point sets of size q + t in PG(2, q) such that every line contains 0, 2 or t of its points. We use field reduction to give a different point of view on the class of translation arcs. Starting from a particular F2-linear set, called an i-club, we reconstruct the projective triads, the translation hyperovals as well as the translation arcs constructed by Korchmaros-Mazzocca, Gacs-Weiner and Limbupasiriporn. We show the KM-arcs of type q/4 recently constructed by Vandendriessche are translation arcs and fit in this family. Finally, we construct a family of KM-arcs of type q/4. We show that this family, apart from new examples that are not translation KM-arcs, contains all translation KM-arcs of type q/4.

description: In quantum field theory, bare particles are dressed by a cloud of virtual particles to form physical particles. The virtual particles affect properties such as the mass and charge of the physical particles, and it is only these modified properties that can be measured in experiments, not the properties of the bare particles. The influence of virtual particles is prominent in the ultrastrong-coupling regime of cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED), which has recently been realized in several condensed-matter systems. In some of these systems, the effective interaction between atom-like transitions and the cavity photons can be switched on or off by external control pulses. This offers unprecedented possibilities for exploring quantum vacuum fluctuations and the relation between physical and bare particles. Here we show that, by applying external electromagnetic pulses of suitable amplitude and frequency, each virtual photon dressing a physical excitation in cavity-QED systems can be converted into a physical observable photon, and back again. In this way, the hidden relationship between the bare and the physical excitations becomes experimentally testable. The conversion between virtual and physical photons can be clearly pictured using Feynman diagrams with cut loops.

Normal modes. The true story

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The aim of this article is a comprehensive description of normal modes of molecular vibrations. The starting point is chosen to be a general molecular system with separated center of mass and an arbitrary embedding of body-fixed axes. This allows to focus on internal degrees of freedom only, leaving the problem of rotational motion behind. Nevertheless, for the sake of completeness we first introduce a general quantum-mechanical Hamiltonian in Eckart-Watson representation, to make a quick leap into a simplified harmonic description for internal motion and rigid rotor for rotational degrees of freedom. This regime constitutes a basis for more sophisticated calculations.

description: Flares are frequent energetic explosions in the stellar atmosphere, and are thought to occur by impulsive releases of magnetic energy stored around starspots.
 Large flares (so called “superflares”) generate strong high energy emissions and coronal mass ejections (CMEs), which can greatly affect the planetary environments. For haracterizing stellar CMEs, understanding of their sources (e.g., flares and erupting prominences) is important.
 Recent Kepler/TESS photometric data have revealed the statistical properties of superflares on G, K, M-type stars. Superflare stars are well characterized by the existence of large starspots on the surface, and their magnetic fluxes can explain well superflare energies. Flare frequency/energy depends on stellar rotation period and stellar temperature. Young rapidly-rotating stars and cooler stars tend to have frequent flares. Recent spectroscopic observation campaigns have detected some possible candidates of stellar prominence eruptions from G-M stars using blueshifts of chromospheric lines (e.g., H-alpha). They could be the start point for quantitatively discussing physical properties and time evolution of stellar CMEs, and their effects on the environment and habitability of various planets.

 In the early part of the talk, I briefly overview the recent statistical results of superflares from Kepler/TESS data. Then in the latter part, I discuss the recent reports of stellar prominence eruptions and how these results can help our understanding of stellar CMEs.

General theory of regular biorthogonal pairs and its physical applications

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Mathematical Physics (math-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this paper we introduce a general theory of regular biorthogonal sequences and its physical applications. Biorthogonal sequences $\{ ϕ_{n} \}$ and $\{ ψ_{n} \}$ in a Hilbert space ${\cal H}$ are said to be regular if $Span\; \{ ϕ_{n} \}$ and $Span\; \{ ψ_{n} \}$ are dense in ${\cal H}$. The first purpose is to show that there exists a non-singular positive self-adjoint operator $T_{\mbox{$f$}}$ in ${\cal H}$ defined by an ONB $\mbox{$f$} \equiv \{ f_{n} \}$ in ${\cal H}$ such that $ϕ_{n}=T_{\mbox{$f$}} f_{n}$ and $ψ_{n}= T_{\mbox{$f$}}^{-1} f_{n}$, $n=0,1, \cdots$, and such an ONB $\mbox{$f$}$ is unique. The second purpose is to define and study the lowering operators $A_{\mbox{$f$}}$ and $B_{\mbox{$f$}}^{\dagger}$, the raising operators $B_{\mbox{$f$}}$ and $A_{\mbox{$f$}}^{\dagger}$, the number operators $N_{\mbox{$f$}}$ and $N_{\mbox{$f$}}^{\dagger}$ determined by the non-singular positive self-adjoint operator $T_{\mbox{$f$}}$. These operators connect with ${\it quasi}$-${\it hermitian \; quantum \; mechanics}$ and its relatives. This paper clarifies and simplifies the mathematical structure of this framework minimized the required assumptions.

description: There is an urgent need to transform education in line with the needs and interests of groups that have been historically disadvantaged through processes of unsustainable development. Transforming education for more sustainable futures is a complex problem that needs to be approached from the perspectives, interests and lived experience of those directly experiencing and facing those challenges. It requires drawing not only on knowledge from the academic disciplines but from Indigenous and local knowledge held in communities as well as professional knowledge and practical know-how held by practitioners, policymakers and other relevant stakeholders. Bringing together these different forms of expertise requires transgressing traditional top-down, university-led approaches to research, which often involve knowledge hierarchies that overlook and undervalue Indigenous, local, professional and practical knowledge. This is our Call to Action with evidence informed recommendations for transformative research. It was presented at TESF's online Legacy Event, July 17th 2023. This Call to Action is one of six: Climate and Environmental Justice Education Education for Sustainable Livelihoods Education for Sustainable Cities and Communities Tackling Intersecting Inequalities Knowledge co-creation for transforming education for sustainable futures Ethical partnerships for collaborative action and learning

When the algebra decomposes, it actually does so as a direct sum of Leavitt path algebras for some suitable graphs. Under certain finiteness conditions, a unique indecomposable decomposition exists.

An adjoint based method for the inversion of the Juno and Cassini gravity measurements into wind fields

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Earth and Planetary Astrophysics (astro-ph.EP)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: During 2016-17 the Juno and Cassini spacecraft will both perform close eccentric orbits of Jupiter and Saturn, respectively, obtaining high-precision gravity measurements for these planets. This data will be used to estimate the depth of the observed surface flows on these planets. All models to date, relating the winds to the gravity field, have been in the forward direction, thus allowing only calculation of the gravity field from given wind models. However, there is a need to do the inverse problem since the new observations will be of the gravity field. Here, an inverse dynamical model, is developed to relate the expected measurable gravity field, to perturbations of the density and wind fields, and therefore to the observed cloud-level winds. In order to invert the gravity field into the 3D circulation, an adjoint model is constructed for the dynamical model, thus allowing backward integration. This tool is used for examination of various scenarios, simulating cases in which the depth of the wind depends on latitude. We show that it is possible to use the gravity measurements to derive the depth of the winds, both on Jupiter and Saturn, taking into account also measurement errors. Calculating the solution uncertainties, we show that the wind depth can be determined more precisely in the low-to-midlatitudes. In addition, the gravitational moments are found to be particularly sensitive to flows at the equatorial intermediate depths, therefore we expect that if deep winds exist on these planets they will have a measurable signature by Juno and Cassini.

Constructing minimal blocking sets using field reduction

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Combinatorics (math.CO)

description: We present a construction for minimal blocking sets with respect to $(k-1)$-spaces in $\mathrm{PG}(n-1,q^t)$, the $(n-1)$-dimensional projective space over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q^t}$ of order $q^t$. The construction relies on the use of blocking cones in the {\em field reduced} representation of $\mathrm{PG}(n-1,q^t)$, extending the well-known construction of linear blocking sets. This construction is inspired by the construction for minimal blocking sets with respect to the hyperplanes by Mazzocca, Polverino and Storme ({\em the MPS-construction}); we show that for a suitable choice of the blocking cone over a planar blocking set, we obtain larger blocking sets than the ones obtained from planar blocking sets in \cite{pol}. Furthermore we show that every minimal blocking set with respect to the hyperplanes in $\mathrm{PG}PG(n-1,q^t)$ can be obtained by applying field reduction to a minimal blocking set with respect to $(nt-t-1)$-spaces in $\mathrm{PG}(nt-1,q)$. We end by relating these constructions to the linearity conjecture for small minimal blocking sets. We show that if a small minimal blocking set is constructed from the MPS-construction, it is of Rédei-type whereas a small minimal blocking set arises from our cone construction if and only if it is linear.

description: In a common paradigm, the electronic structure of condensed matter is divided into weakly and strongly correlated compounds. While conventional band theory usually works well for the former class, many-body effects are essential for the latter. Materials like the familiar SrTiO$_3$ compound that bridge or even abandon this characterization scheme are highly interesting. Here it is shown by means of combining density functional theory with dynamical-mean field theory that oxygen vacancies on the STO (001) surface give rise to a dichotomy of weakly-correlated $t_{2g}$ low-energy quasiparticles and localized 'in-gap' states of dominant $e_g$ character with subtle correlation signature. We furthermore touch base with recent experimental work and study the surface instability towards magnetic order.

description: Giant eruptions or supernova-impostor events are far more mysterious than true supernovae. An extreme example can release as much radiative energy as a SN, ejecting several M_sun of material. These events involve continuous radiation-driven outflows rather than blast waves. They constitute one of the main unsolved problems in stellar astrophysics, but have received surprisingly little theoretical effort. Here I note some aspects that are not yet familiar to most astronomers.

We find that a narrow extended defect composed of periodic units consisting of one octogonal and two pentagonal rings embedded in the hexagonal bulk of a bismuth bilayer introduces two pairs of one-dimensional Dirac-fermion states with opposite spin-momentum locking. Although both Dirac pairs are localized along the extended-defect core, their interactions are screened due to the trivial topological nature of the extended defect.

description: We investigate the evolution of nuclear gas-phase oxygen abundance and star formation rate (SFR) of local far-infrared selected star-forming galaxies along the merger sequence, as traced by their optical morphologies. The sample was drawn from a cross-correlation analysis of the IRAS Point Source Catalog Redshift Survey and 1 Jy ultraluminous infrared galaxies sample with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7 database. The investigation is done by comparing our sample to a control sample matched in the normalized redshift distribution in two diagnostics, which are the nuclear gas-phase metallicity vs. stellar mass and the nuclear SFR vs. stellar mass diagrams. Galaxies with different morphological types show different mass-metallicity relations (MZR). Compared to the MZR defined by the control sample, isolated spirals have comparable metallicities with the control sample at a given stellar mass. Spirals in pairs and interacting galaxies with projected separations $r_{p} >$ 20 kpc show mild metallicity dilution of 0.02-0.03 dex. Interacting galaxies with $r_{p}

description: We discuss the neutrino mass matrix based on the Occam's Razor approach in the framework of the seesaw mechanism. We impose four zeros in the Dirac neutrino mass matrix, which give the minimum number of parameters needed for the observed neutrino masses and lepton mixing angles, while the charged lepton mass matrix and the right-handed Majorana neutrino mass matrix are taken to be real diagonal ones. The low-energy neutrino mass matrix has only seven physical parameters. We show successful predictions for the mixing angle $θ_{13}$ and the CP violating phase $δ_{CP}$ with the normal mass hierarchy of neutrinos by using the experimental data on the neutrino mass squared differences, the mixing angles $θ_{12}$ and $θ_{23}$. The most favored region of $\sinθ_{13}$ is around $0.13\sim 0.15$, which is completely consistent with the observed value. The CP violating phase $δ_{CP}$ is favored to be close to $\pm π/2$. We also discuss the Majorana phases as well as the effective neutrino mass for the neutrinoless double-beta decay $m_{ee}$, which is around $7\sim 8$ meV. It is extremely remarkable that we can perform a "complete experiment" to determine the low-energy neutrino mass matrix, since we have only seven physical parameters in the neutrino mass matrix. In particular, two CP violating phases in the neutrino mass matrix are directly given by two CP violating phases at high energy. Thus, assuming the leptogenesis we can determine the sign of the cosmic baryon in the universe from the low-energy experiments for the neutrino mass matrix.

Sudakov effects in photon-initiated processes

description: We consider the effect of the Sudakov factor in photon-initiated processes, corresponding to the no branching probability for the initial-state photon. We demonstrate how such a factor follows simply from the solution of the DGLAP equation for the photon PDF, and is therefore included automatically by this. We use this result to argue that the appropriate scale for the QED coupling $α$ associated with an initial-state photon is not the virtuality of the photon, but rather the factorization scale at which the photon PDF is evaluated, and therefore that the use of the on-shell renormalization scheme is not appropriate for such processes. We also discuss exclusive photon-initiated processes, and demonstrate that no explicit Sudakov factor is required in this case.

Exending pseudo-arcs in odd characteristic

description: A {\em pseudo-arc} in $\mathrm{PG}(3n-1,q)$ is a set of $(n-1)$-spaces such that any three of them span the whole space. A pseudo-arc of size $q^n+1$ is a {\em pseudo-oval}. If a pseudo-oval $\mathcal{O}$ is obtained by applying field reduction to a conic in $\mathrm{PG}(2,q^n)$, then $\mathcal{O}$ is called a {\em pseudo-conic}. We first explain the connection of (pseudo-)arcs with Laguerre planes, orthogonal arrays and generalised quadrangles. In particular, we prove that the Ahrens-Szekeres GQ is obtained from a $q$-arc in $\mathrm{PG}(2,q)$ and we extend this construction to that of a GQ of order $(q^n-1,q^n+1)$ from a pseudo-arc of $\mathrm{PG}(3n-1,q)$ of size $q^n$. The main theorem of this paper shows that if $\mathcal{K}$ is a pseudo-arc in $\mathrm{PG}(3n-1,q)$, $q$ odd, of size larger than the size of the second largest complete arc in $\mathrm{PG}(2,q^n)$, where for one element $K_i$ of $\mathcal{K}$, the partial spread $\mathcal{S}=\{K_1,\ldots,K_{i-1},K_{i+1},\ldots,K_{s}\}/K_i$ extends to a Desarguesian spread of $\mathrm{PG}(2n-1,q)$, then $\mathcal{K}$ is contained in a pseudo-conic. The main result of \cite{Casse} also follows from this theorem.

Gravitational Wave Memory In dS$_{4+2n}$ and 4D Cosmology

description: We argue that massless gravitons in all even dimensional de Sitter (dS) spacetimes higher than two admit a linear memory effect arising from their propagation inside the null cone. Assume that gravitational waves (GWs) are being generated by an isolated source, and over only a finite period of time. Outside of this time interval, suppose the shear-stress of the GW source becomes negligible relative to its energy-momentum and its mass quadrupole moments settle to static values. We then demonstrate, the transverse-traceless (TT) GW contribution to the perturbation of any dS$_{4+2n}$ written in a conformally flat form -- after the source has ceased and the primary GW train has passed -- amounts to a spacetime constant shift in the flat metric proportional to the difference between the TT parts of the source's final and initial mass quadrupole moments. As a byproduct, we present solutions to Einstein's equations linearized about de Sitter backgrounds of all dimensions greater than three. We then point out there is a similar but approximate tail induced linear GW memory effect in 4D matter dominated universes. Our work here serves to improve upon and extend the 4D cosmological results of arXiv:1504.06337, which in turn preceded complementary work by Bieri, Garfinkle and Yau (arXiv:1509.01296) and by Kehagias and Riotto (arXiv:1602.02653).

description: In the future, competitive advantages will be given to organisations that can extract valuable information from massive data and make better decisions. In most cases, this data comes from multiple sources. Therefore, the challenge is to aggregate them into a common framework in order to make them meaningful and useful. This paper will first review the most important multi-criteria decision analysis methods (MCDA) existing in current literature. We will offer a novel, practical and consistent methodology based on a type of MCDA, to aggregate data from two different sources into a common framework. Two datasets that are different in nature but related to the same topic are aggregated to a common scale by implementing a set of transformation rules. This allows us to generate appropriate evidence for assessing and finally prioritising the level of adoption of analytical tools in four types of companies. A numerical example is provided to clarify the form for implementing this methodology. A six-step process is offered as a guideline to assist engineers, researchers or practitioners interested in replicating this methodology in any situation where there is a need to aggregate and transform multiple source data.

description: The viscosity of Graphene nano-sheet suspensions (GNS)and its behavior with temperature and concentration have been experimentally determined. A physical mechanism for the enhanced viscosity over the base fluids has been proposed for the poly-dispersed GNSs. Experimental data reveals that enhancement of viscosity for GNSs lie in between that of Carbon Nanotube Suspensions (CNTSs) and nano Alumina suspensions (nAS) , indicating the hybrid mechanism of percolation (like CNTs) and Brownian motion assisted sheet dynamics (like Alumina particles). Sheet dynamics and percolation, along with a proposed percolation Network Dynamicity Factor; have been used to determine a dimensionally consistent analytical model to accurately determine and explain the viscosity of poly-dispersed GNSs. It has been hypothesized that the dynamic sheets behave qualitatively analogous to gas molecules. The model also provides insight into the mechanisms of viscous behavior of different dilute nanoparticle suspensions. The model has been found to be in agreement with the GNS experimental data, and even for CNT and nano Alumina suspensions.

description: Money flow models are essential tools to understand different economical phenomena, like saving propensities and wealth distributions. In spite of their importance, most of them are based on synthetic transaction networks with simple topologies, e.g. random or scale-free ones, as the characterisation of real networks is made difficult by the confidentiality and sensitivity of money transaction data. Here we present an analysis of the topology created by real credit card transactions from one of the biggest world banks, and show how different distributions, e.g. number of transactions per card or amount, have nontrivial characteristics. We further describe a stochastic model to create transactions data sets, feeding from the obtained distributions, which will allow researchers to create more realistic money flow models.

It is also established that each restriction semigroup has a proper cover which is embeddable in a semidirect product of a semilattice by a group.
