description: Why are COVID-19 conspiracy theories so prevalent? Particularly, why would some citizens ignore scientific evidence and common logic but, instead, be convinced that COVID-19 was a military experiment or spread by 5G signals? Why would they believe that Bill Gates had anything to do with it? In this contribution, we argue that populism is at the centre of these beliefs, as the complex nature of the COVID-19 pandemic makes it an ideal playground for populists’ opposition to scientific and political elites. We use Structural Equation Models and panel survey data (n = 823) from the Austrian Corona Panel Project to test this argument. We demonstrate a negative correlation of populist attitudes with both trust in political and scientific institutions, which, in return, negatively relate to COVID-19 conspiracy beliefs. This results in an overall positive relationship of populist attitudes and conspiracy beliefs that is independent of political ideology. These findings have important implications for elite communication regarding virus mitigation.

description: Atomically thin chromium triiodide (CrI3) has recently been identified as a layered antiferromagnetic insulator, in which adjacent ferromagnetic monolayers are antiferromagnetically coupled. This unusual magnetic structure naturally comprises a series of anti-aligned spin filters which can be utilized to make spin-filter magnetic tunnel junctions with very large tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR). Here we report voltage control of TMR formed by four-layer CrI3 sandwiched by monolayer graphene contacts in a dual-gated structure. By varying the gate voltages at fixed magnetic field, the device can be switched reversibly between bistable magnetic states with the same net magnetization but drastically different resistance (by a factor of ten or more). In addition, without switching the state, the TMR can be continuously modulated between 17,000% and 57,000%, due to the combination of spin-dependent tunnel barrier with changing carrier distributions in the graphene contacts. Our work demonstrates new kinds of magnetically moderated transistor action and opens up possibilities for voltage-controlled van der Waals spintronic devices.

description: We study the build up of quantum coherence between two Bose-Einstein condensates which are initially in mixed states. We consider in detail the two cases where each condensate is initially in a thermal or a Poisson distribution of atom number. Although initially there is no relative phase between the condensates, a sequence of spatial atom detections produces an interference pattern with arbitrary but fixed relative phase. The visibility of this interference pattern is close to one for the Poisson distribution of two condensates with equal counting rates but it becomes a stochastic variable in the thermal case, where the visibility will vary from run to run around an average visibility of $π/4.$ In both cases, the variance of the phase distribution is inversely proportional to the number of atom detections in the regime where this number is large compared to one but small compared with the total number of atoms in the condensates.

description: In democratic countries, public support for the judiciary is crucial to prevent abuse of power by the government. While facing the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, governments may overly restrict their citizens’ rights to prevent the spread of infectious diseases. This study examined whether voters would support a court's ruling if the court decided that the government's restriction of their rights was illegal and nullified the risk-averse policies. We suppose that voters faced with the risk of a pandemic will support a government with the expertise and resources to prevent a pandemic, and we set up the following hypotheses: If the courts nullify the measures against COVID-19, the public will not support the courts, and the government's failure to comply with the court's ruling will not diminish support for the government. We find support for these hypotheses in the contexts wherein the degree of restriction on voters’ rights is weak. Because there is a close relationship between “public support for the court” and “government abuse of power,” we need to consider which factors determine support for the court.

Interior-Boundary Conditions for Schrodinger Operators on Codimension-1 Boundaries

description: Interior-boundary conditions (IBCs) are boundary conditions on wave functions for Schrödinger equations that allow that probability can flow into (and thus be lost at) a boundary of configuration space while getting added in another part of configuration space. IBCs are of particular interest because they allow defining Hamiltonians involving particle creation and annihilation (as used in quantum field theories) without the need for renormalization or ultraviolet cut-off. For those Hamiltonians, the relevant boundary has codimension 3. In this paper, we develop (what we conjecture is) the general form of IBCs for the Laplacian operator (or Schrödinger operators), but we focus on the simpler case of boundaries with codimension 1.

description: Since the COVID-19 pandemic started, there has been increasing evidence suggesting that current gendered and racially biased structures put in place to deal with the crises lead women and BAME population to be disproportionately affected by the pandemic. Yet, there is less information on how different groups respond to the pandemic in terms of compliance with the measures implemented by the government, and the role that parenthood and employment play in explaining compliance for such groups. We take insights from the literature on policy preferences and compliance to argue that gender, ethnicity, parenthood and employment are associated with high levels of worry about the consequences of the pandemic, leading to variations in compliance with social distancing measures. We test our argument using data from an original nationally representative survey. Results indicate that women and BAME respondents present important challenges to manage anxiety, stress and worry but they manifest differently in their compliance with social distancing measures. We also find that parenthood and employment affect compliance but in an unexpected direction. Together, results indicate that compliance is not only a matter of individual choice but also a matter of structural and contextual factors.

description: The problem of determining the ground state of a $d$-dimensional interface embedded in a $(d+1)$-dimensional random medium is treated numerically. Using a minimum-cut algorithm, the exact ground states can be found for a number of problems for which other numerical methods are inexact and slow. In particular, results are presented for the roughness exponents and ground-state energy fluctuations in a random bond Ising model. It is found that the roughness exponent $ζ= 0.41 \pm 0.01, 0.22 \pm 0.01$, with the related energy exponent being $θ= 0.84 \pm 0.03, 1.45 \pm 0.04$, in $d = 2, 3$, respectively. These results are compared with previous analytical and numerical estimates.

A General Analysis of $γ$ Determinations from $B\toπK$ Decays

description: We present a general parametrization of $B^\pm\toπ^\pm K, π^0K^\pm$ and $B_d\toπ^0 K, π^\mp K^\pm$ decays, taking into account both electroweak penguin and rescattering effects. This formalism allows -- among other things -- an improved implementation of the strategies that were recently proposed by Neubert and Rosner to probe the CKM angle $γ$ with the help of $B^\pm\toπ^\pm K, π^0K^\pm$ decays. In particular, it allows us to investigate the sensitivity of the extracted value of $γ$ to the basic assumptions of their approach. We find that certain SU(3)-breaking effects may have an important impact and emphasize that additional hadronic uncertainties are due to rescattering processes. The latter can be controlled by using SU(3) flavour symmetry arguments and additional experimental information provided by $B^\pm\to K^\pm K$ modes. We propose a new strategy to probe the angle $γ$ with the help of the neutral decays $B_d\toπ^0 K, π^\mp K^\pm$, which is theoretically cleaner than the $B^\pm\toπ^\pm K, π^0K^\pm$ approach. Here rescattering processes can be taken into account by just measuring the CP-violating observables of the decay $B_d\toπ^0K_{\rm S}$. Finally, we point out that an experimental analysis of $B_s\to K^+K^-$ modes would also be very useful to probe the CKM angle $γ$, as well as electroweak penguins, and we critically compare the virtues and weaknesses of the various approaches discussed in this paper. As a by-product, we point out a strategy to include the electroweak penguins in the determination of the CKM angle $α$ from $B\toππ$ decays.

description: On March 17, 2020, the state of Florida held its Presidential Preference Primary amid a growing global pandemic. At that time, health officials and the media continued to report on the disproportionate dangers of serious health complications and death from COVID-19 for the elderly population. How did the prevalence of COVID-19 along with age affect Florida voters’ propensity to vote on Election Day? Using individual-level voting data from the primary along with county COVID-19 rates, I test the interactive effects of the prevalence of COVID-19 and voter age on the probability of voting in person or not voting at all. I find that for both Democrats and Republicans, voters were more likely to not vote in any manner as the county COVID-19 rate and their age increased. This effect is more pronounced for Republicans. No differences in probabilities of in person voting occurred for Democrat voters based upon age, but older Republicans were less likely to vote in person as the county COVID-19 rate increased.

description: We consider models with fermionic dark matter that transforms under a non-Abelian dark gauge group. Exotic, vector-like leptons that also transform under the dark gauge group can mix with standard model leptons after spontaneous symmetry breaking and serve as a portal between the dark and visible sectors. We show in an explicit, renormalizable model based on a dark SU(2) gauge group how this can lead to adequate dark matter annihilation to a standard model lepton flavor so that the correct relic density is obtained. We identify a discrete symmetry that allows mass mixing between the vector-like fermions and a single standard model lepton flavor, while preventing mixing between these fields and the remaining standard model leptons. This flavor sequestering avoids unwanted lepton-flavor-violating effects, substantially relaxing constraints on the mass scale of the vector-like states. We discuss aspects of the phenomenology of the model, including direct detection of the dark matter.

description: We present a theoretical study of the magnetic band structure of conduction and valence states in Quantum Well Wires in high magnetic fields. We show that hole mixing results in a very complex behavior of valence edge states with respect to conduction states, a fact which is likely to be important in magneto-transport in the Quantum Hall regime. We show how the transition from one-dimensional subbands to edge states and to Landau levels can be followed by optical experiments by choosing the appropriate, linear or circular, polarization of the light, yielding information on the one-dimensional confinement.

description: We introduce a mathematical framework for quantifying fine-tuning in general physical settings. In particular, we identify two distinct perspectives on fine-tuning, namely, a local and a global perspective --- and develop corresponding measures. These measures apply broadly to settings characterized by an arbitrary number of observables whose values are dependent on an arbitrary number of parameters. We illustrate our formalism by quantifying fine-tuning as it arises in two pertinent astrophysical settings: (i) in models where a significant fraction of the dark matter in the universe is in the form of primordial black holes, and (ii) in scenarios that derive the fraction of protons in habitable dark-matter halos from underlying models of cosmic inflation.

Building on measures tested in previous research, we identify the public’s vulnerability to conspiracy narratives and its willingness to comply with public health guidance. We test whether individuals exhibiting pro-Russian or anti-Western attitudes believe more strongly in COVID-19 conspiracy narratives compared to the rest of the population. Then, we check if those believing conspiracy narratives are less susceptible to comply with public health recommendations. We find an indirect relationship between distrusting Western actors and noncompliance with COVID-19 guidelines. Thus, pro-Russian and anti-EU, U.S. and NATO attitudes are linked to stronger conspiracy beliefs, which relate to lower levels of concern and knowledge regarding the virus, which in turn are associated with reduced compliance with official guidelines. This suggests that openness to anti-Western narratives may have behavioral consequences. The findings highlight potential sources of unsafe behaviors during the pandemic, especially in the young democracies of Eastern Europe.

description: Robust and adaptive control strategies are needed when robots or automated systems are introduced to unknown and dynamic environments where they are required to cope with disturbances, unmodeled dynamics, and parametric uncertainties. In this paper, we demonstrate the capabilities of a combined $\mathcal{L}_1$ adaptive control and iterative learning control (ILC) framework to achieve high-precision trajectory tracking in the presence of unknown and changing disturbances. The $\mathcal{L}_1$ adaptive controller makes the system behave close to a reference model; however, it does not guarantee that perfect trajectory tracking is achieved, while ILC improves trajectory tracking performance based on previous iterations. The combined framework in this paper uses $\mathcal{L}_1$ adaptive control as an underlying controller that achieves a robust and repeatable behavior, while the ILC acts as a high-level adaptation scheme that mainly compensates for systematic tracking errors. We illustrate that this framework enables transfer learning between dynamically different systems, where learned experience of one system can be shown to be beneficial for another different system. Experimental results with two different quadrotors show the superior performance of the combined $\mathcal{L}_1$-ILC framework compared with approaches using ILC with an underlying proportional-derivative controller or proportional-integral-derivative controller. Results highlight that our $\mathcal{L}_1$-ILC framework can achieve high-precision trajectory tracking when unknown and changing disturbances are present and can achieve transfer of learned experience between dynamically different systems. Moreover, our approach is able to achieve precise trajectory tracking in the first attempt when the initial input is generated based on the reference model of the adaptive controller.

description: There are growing concerns that the COVID-19 pandemic is strengthening nationalism around the world by fueling discrimination, unilateralism, and economic crises. However, there have been few empirical analyses of the effect of the pandemic on individuals’ level of nationalism. Using evidence from two original surveys conducted in Canada in 2019 and 2020, I show that public support for international economic integration has increased rather than decreased since the outbreak of the pandemic. The survey data point to economic anxiety induced by the pandemic as a key mechanism shaping individuals’ attitudes towards international economic integration. While the existing literature has found that negative economic sentiment depresses support for international economic integration, economic anxiety appears to be positively related to support for integration in the COVID-19 era. My findings therefore run counter to current arguments about the effect of the pandemic and to expectations based on the existing literature. Gaining a better empirical understanding of the relationship between the pandemic and nationalism in public opinion is particularly important at a time when international cooperation is needed to address both COVID-19 and its economic effects.

description: We perform comparative analyses of quantum loop corrections to some observationally important two- and three-point Green functions within two distinct symmetry-breaking mechanisms. It appears that the existing high-energy data, neutrino experiments and present astrophysical and cosmological constraints strongly disfavour the Higgs mechanism, while the introduction of the noncontractible space as a symmetry-breaking mechanism can resolve all known problems and puzzles of fundamental interactions.

description: We study the scenario of electroweak baryogenesis mediated by nonsuperconducting cosmic strings. This idea relies upon electroweak symmetry being restored in a region around the core of the topological defect so that, within this region, the rate of baryon number violation is enhanced. We compute numerically how effectively baryon number is violated along a cosmic string, at an epoch when the baryon number violation rate elsewhere is negligible. We show that B-violation along nonsuperconducting strings is quite inefficient. When proper accounting is taken of the velocity dependence of the baryon number production by strings, it proves too small to explain the observed abundance by at least ten orders of magnitude, whether the strings are in the friction dominated or the scaling regime.

description: At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, both the federal government and local governments across the U.S. recommended that Americans engage in social distancing and other prosocial health behaviors (e.g. wearing a mask in public). While social scientists know a fair amount about compliance with these recommendations, we know less about why some people may have been more likely to comply than others. Building on insights from Human Values Theory, we argue that people who are more self-transcendent (i.e. more likely to put others’ needs before their own) are more likely to engage in a variety of prosocial health behaviors (PSHB). In a demographically representative survey (N = 1,015) conducted at the pandemic’s outset, we find that self-transcendent people were significantly more likely to engage in PSHB; irrespective of partisanship and local COVID-19 transmission rates. Recognizing the limitations of self-reported data, we validate these findings by merging international and interstate phone-tracking data into opinion surveys. We find that, on average, people in both countries and states that place a higher emphasis on self-transcendence values were more likely to engage in social distancing. Our work suggests that while prosocial health recommendations are politically contentious, variation in compliance transcends conventional partisan disagreements.

description: Social networking through Twitter, Facebook and similar platforms is widespread and is a main avenue through which members of the public communicate about, during, and after disasters. These Internet- and smartphone-based platforms facilitate discourse among people affected by a disaster and those who want to help them. Such discourse, instances of communication constituting organization, can create ad hoc self-help communities. These communications can be measured as to effectiveness in providing help in emergencies. This thesis compares communications by members of the public using the Facebook group SnowedOutAtlanta and the Twitter hashtag #snowedoutatlanta during the Atlanta snow and ice storm that began January 28, 2014. Using the CAUSE Model (Rowan, Botan, Kreps, Samoilenko, & Farnsworth, 2009) as a basis for identifying functional goals in crises, the first 500 Facebook group posts and the first 500 Twitter posts were analyzed. Messages were coded for indications of Enactment (i.e., behavior, such as offering or accepting shelter), Connection (information that could help others, such as reports of traffic safety conditions of specific sections of specific roads), Comment (messaging related to the storm but which did not render aid, such as personal emotional reaction to the storm), and Spam (messaging unrelated to the storm or to promote sales of products, such as advertisements for songs). Results indicate Facebook group traffic showed strong evidence of fostering provision of aid such as offering and providing shelter and transportation to people stranded by the storm, while Twitter users mostly provided information such as personal comments, with little evidence of providing aid. The findings demonstrate the potential for applied research in social network platform use related to providing help during disasters. The findings also provide guidance for emergency communicators and members of the public that platforms such as Facebook can facilitate provision of aid, while platforms such as Twitter can facilitate information exchange.

Stochastically positive structures on Weyl algebras. The case of quasi-free states

description: We consider quasi-free stochastically positive ground and thermal states on Weyl algebras in Euclidean time formulation. In particular, we obtain a new derivation of a general form of thermal quasi-free state and give conditions when such state is stochastically positive i.e. when it defines periodic stochastic process with respect to Euclidean time, so called thermal process. Then we show that thermal process completely determines modular structure canonically associated with quasi-free state on Weyl algebra. We discuss a variety of examples connected with free field theories on globally hyperbolic stationary space-times and models of quantum statistical mechanics.

Transport experiments as a function of applied magnetic field strength and direction obey the spin Hall magnetoresistance phenomenology with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. Our results establish the utility of ionic gating as an alternative method to control spintronic devices without using ferromagnets.
