title: The Image of the Beggar in Britain 1760-1820
Creators: name: Leeson, Margaret Ann
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2021

description: The years between circa 1760 and 1820 saw the sudden appearance of a substantial body of beggar images in British art, yet by the end of the period such images had all but disappeared. This thesis aims to investigate this phenomenon, which has never before been systematically studied. It will be argued here that the image of the beggar assumed a symbolic significance as a result of the rapid socio-economic change that Britain underwent as it moved from a broadly paternalistic model of social relations to one increasingly based on laissez-faire principles. As the traditional signifier of poverty, the figure of the mendicant functioned at once to express and to contain elite concerns about these developments.

 This thesis starts by examining the emergence of beggar imagery around the middle of the century before analysing its function in a range of genres. It argues that sentimental images in which the beggar is depicted as an object of sympathy and benevolence served to embody a new secular morality. At the same time, however, the beggar became an increasingly problematic presence in landscape imagery because mendicancy's inevitable association with poverty and suffering made it impossible to view the figure in a purely aesthetic light. Likewise, beggars feature only rarely in satirical images of the period because the moral and social issues raised by their plight meant that they could not readily be depicted as comic figures. Only as attitudes towards mendicity hardened in the years around 1800 did a more detached perspective become possible, such that the beggar came to be viewed in a comic and/or aesthetic spirit, either as a deviant or a rogue.

 By exploring the tensions that surrounded the begging figure, this thesis helps to shed light on transformations in British culture and society in this period.

description: Brexit is a major topic in Europe and beyond, and its implications for present and future European integration cannot be overstated. While most of the discussions on Brexit revolve around the 2016 referendum or David Cameron’s “great blunder” and its consequences, it examines Brexit as a decades-long process. The contemporary academic approach examines EU-UK relations from a fresh global perspective, taking into account historical context, political factors, legal issues, and economic concerns.
A decomposition of waves in time series of data related to Covid-19, applied to study the role of Alpha variant in the spread of infection

description: Here it is proposed a decomposition in components of the “waves” which appear in the time series of data related to Covid-19 pandemic. The decomposition is based on functions of κ-statistics; in particular the κ-Weibull is used. Fitted data are those of the “waves” ranging from August 2020 to April 2021 in the United Kingdom, from September 2020 to May 2021 in Ireland, and from September 2020 to June 2021 in Italy. For the United Kingdom, the time series of daily infection shows a wave composed by two peaks. Among the many factors involved in the spread of infection, it seems that, in driving the onset of the second peak, the main role was played by the emergence of Alpha variant of Sars-Cov-2. Therefore, the proposed decomposition of waves in the time series is applied to study the role of Alpha variant in the spread of infection. For what concerns data from Ireland, if we decompose the analysed “wave” in three components, we can observed that for one of them the role of the Alpha variant was relevant for sure. In the case of Italy, the effect is less evident, because it was spread over a larger time interval.

description: The capacity of a fading channel can be substantially increased by feeding back channel state information from the receiver to the transmitter. With limited-rate feedback what state information to feed back and how to encode it are important open questions. This paper studies power loading in a multicarrier system using no more than one bit of feedback per sub-channel. The sub-channels can be correlated and full channel state information is assumed at the receiver.

Double scaling limits of random matrices and minimal (2m,1) models: the merging of two cuts in a degenerate case

description: In this article, we show that the double scaling limit correlation functions of a random matrix model when two cuts merge with degeneracy $2m$ (i.e. when $y\sim x^{2m}$ for arbitrary values of the integer $m$) are the same as the determinantal formulae defined by conformal $(2m,1)$ models. Our approach follows the one developed by Bergère and Eynard in \cite{BergereEynard} and uses a Lax pair representation of the conformal $(2m,1)$ models (giving Painlevé II integrable hierarchy) as suggested by Bleher and Eynard in \cite{BleherEynard}. In particular we define Baker-Akhiezer functions associated to the Lax pair to construct a kernel which is then used to compute determinantal formulae giving the correlation functions of the double scaling limit of a matrix model near the merging of two cuts.

Multiple Bands - A Key to High - Temperature Superconductivity in Iron Arsenides?

Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)

description: In the framework of four-band model of superconductivity in iron arsenides proposed by Barzykin and Gor'kov we analyze the gap ratios on hole - like and electron - like Fermi - surface cylinders. It is shown that experimentally observed (ARPES) gap ratios can be obtained only within rather strict limits on the values of pairing coupling constants. The difference of T_c values in 1111 and 122 systems is reasonably explained by the relative values of partial densities of states. The multiple bands electronic structure of these systems leads to a significant enhancement of effective pairing coupling constant determining T_c, so that high enough T_c values can be achieved even for the case of rather small intraband and interband pairing interactions.

description: We present a general method to characterize the quantum correlations obtained after local measurements on multipartite systems. Sufficient conditions for a quantum system to be fully-nonlocal according to a given partition, as well as being (genuinely) multipartite fully-nonlocal, are derived. These conditions allow us to identify all completely-connected graph states as multipartite fully-nonlocal quantum states. Moreover, we show that this feature can also be observed in mixed states: the tensor product of five copies of the Smolin state, a biseparable and bound entangled state, is multipartite fully-nonlocal.

Crystal Melting and Wall Crossing Phenomena

Year: 2010

subject: Algebraic Geometry (math.AG)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: This paper summarizes recent developments in the theory of Bogomol'nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield (BPS) state counting and the wall crossing phenomena, emphasizing in particular the role of the statistical mechanical model of crystal melting. This paper is divided into two parts, which are closely related to each other. In the first part, we discuss the statistical mechanical model of crystal melting counting BPS states. Each of the BPS state contributing to the BPS index is in one-to-one correspondence with a configuration of a molten crystal, and the statistical partition function of the melting crystal gives the BPS partition function. We also show that smooth geometry of the Calabi-Yau manifold emerges in the thermodynamic limit of the crystal. This suggests a remarkable interpretation that an atom in the crystal is a discretization of the classical geometry, giving an important clue as to the geometry at the Planck scale.In the second part we discuss the wall crossing phenomena. Wall crossing phenomena states that the BPS index depends on the value of the moduli of the Calabi-Yau manifold, and jumps along real codimension one subspaces in the moduli space. We show that by using type IIA/M-theory duality, we can provide a simple and an intuitive derivation of the wall crossing phenomena, furthermore clarifying the connection with the topological string theory. This derivation is consistent with another derivation from the wall crossing formula, motivated by multi-centered BPS extremal black holes. We also explain the representation of the wall crossing phenomena in terms of crystal melting, and the generalization of the counting problem and the wall crossing to the open BPS invariants.

description: In this paper, we calculated the $B \to (\jpsi, η_c) K$ decays in the perturbative QCD approach with the inclusion of the partial next-to-leading order (NLO) contributions. We found that (a) when the large enhancements from the known NLO contributions are taken into account, the NLO pQCD predictions for the branching ratios are the following: $Br(B^0 \to \jpsi K^0) = 5.2^{+3.5}_{-2.8}\times 10^{-4}$, $Br(B^+ \to \jpsi K^+) = 5.6^{+3.7}_{-2.9}\times 10^{-4}$, $Br(B^0 \to η_c K^0) = 5.5^{+2.3}_{-2.0}\times 10^{-4}$, $Br(B^+ \to η_c K^+) = 5.9^{+2.5}_{-2.1}\times 10^{-4}$, which are roughly 40% smaller than the measured values, but basically agree with the data within $2-σ$ errors; (b) the NLO pQCD predictions for the CP-violating asymmetries of $B \to (\jpsi,η_c)K$ decays agree perfectly with the data.

description: Motivated by numerical evidence of the valence bond groundstate of the two-dimensional Heisenberg pyrochlore lattice, we argue using a $t$-$J$ model that it evolves under doping into novel phases characterized by superconductivity coexisting with the underlying valence-bond solid order. A fermionic mean-field theory supplemented by exact diagonalization results provide strong arguments in favor of the stability of such supersolid phases. The resemblance with modulated superconducting patterns in high-$T_c$ cuprates as well as possible relevance to frustrated noncuprate superconductors such as spinels and pyrochlores is discussed.

description: Subcritical crack growth of synthetic fused silica glass is investigated using the Single-Edge-V-Notched-Beam (SEVNB) method. The measurement was performed in a very stiff four-point bending device, which is equipped with a computer-aided control system. This technique enables several loading cycles of controlled crack growth with one measurement and sample. The control system is based on an online compliance measurement that enables an automatic measurement routine without much operation of the user and without the necessity of the optical observation of the crack. The crack velocity as a function of the applied stress intensity factor was determined by analysing the measured specimen compliance. The presented method allows determining a large number of v-KI curves under identical conditions by measuring only one sample.

description: Motivated by the recent unexpected large forward-backward asymmetry (FBA) of the top quark observed by D$Ø$ and CDF at the Tevatron, we investigate a possible explanation for the anomaly within the framework of diquark models. Unlike other mechanisms induced by s-channel or t-channel, the top-quark pair production in the diquark models is dictated by the u-channel diagram. We find that the color-triplet diquark can generate the FBA of 20% when the constraint from the cross section of the top-quark pair production is taken into account.

We present preliminary results of an ongoing investigation of the X-ray and multiwavelength properties of 5 radio-loud NLS1 based on archival data from Swift and XMM-Newton. Some sources present interesting characteristics, very uncharacteristic for a radio-quiet narrow-line Seyfert 1, such as very hard X-ray spectra, and correlated optical and ultraviolet variability. However, none of the studied sources show conclusive evidence for relativistic jets. gamma-ray observations with Fermi are strongly recommended to definitely decide on the presence or not of relativistic jets.

Microscopic origin of the jump diffusion model

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The present paper is aimed at studying the microscopic origin of the jump diffusion. Starting from the $N$-body Liouville equation and making only the assumption that molecular reorientation is overdamped, we derive and solve the new (hereafter generalized diffusion) equation. This is the most general equation which governs orientational relaxation of an equilibrium molecular ensemble in the hindered rotation limit and in the long time limit. The generalized diffusion equation is an extension of the small-angle diffusion equation beyond the impact approximation. We establish the conditions under which the generalized diffusion equation can be identified with the jump diffusion equation, and also discuss the similarities and differences between the two approaches.

description: We report a numerical study of self-avoiding polymers on the square lattice, including an attractive potential between nonconsecutive monomers. Using Wang-Landau sampling (WLS) with adaptive windows, we obtain the density of states for chains of up to N=300 monomers and associated thermodynamic quantities. The method enables one to simulate accurately the low-temperature regime, which is virtually inaccessible using traditional methods. Instead of defining fixed energy windows, as in usual WLS, this method uses windows with boundaries that depend on the set of energy values on which the histogram is flat at a given stage of the simulation. Shifting the windows each time the modification factor $f$ is reduced, we eliminate border effects that arise in simulations using fixed windows.

description: We obtain the complete phase diagram of the hardcore Bose-Hubbard model in the presence of a period-two superlattice in two and three dimensions. First we acquire the phase boundaries between the superfluid phase and the `trivial' insulating phases of the model (the completely-empty and completely-filled lattices) analytically. Next, the boundary between the superfluid phase and the half-filled Mott-insulating phase is obtained numerically, using the stochastic series expansion (SSE) algorithm followed by finite-size scaling. We also compare our numerical results against the predictions of several approximation schemes, including two mean-field approaches and a fourth-order strong-coupling expansion (SCE), where we show that the latter method in particular is successful in producing an accurate picture of the phase diagram. Finally, we examine the extent to which several approximation schemes, such as the random phase approximation and the strong-coupling expansion, give an accurate description of the momentum distribution of the bosons inside the insulating phases.

description: We present parameter estimation forecasts for future 3D cosmic shear surveys for a class of Unified Dark Matter (UDM) models, where a single scalar field mimics both Dark Matter (DM) and Dark Energy (DE). These models have the advantage that they can describe the dynamics of the Universe with a single matter component providing an explanation for structure formation and cosmic acceleration. A crucial feature of the class of UDM models we use in this work is characterised by a parameter, c_inf (in units of the speed of light c=1), that is the value of the sound speed at late times, and on which structure formation depends. We demonstrate that the properties of the DM-like behaviour of the scalar field can be estimated with very high precision with large-scale, fully 3D weak lensing surveys. We found that 3D weak lensing significantly constrains c_inf, and we find minimal errors 0.00003, for the fiducial value c_inf=0.001, and 0.000026, for c_inf=0.012. Moreover, we compute the Bayesian evidence for UDM models over the LCDM model as a function of c_inf. For this purpose, we can consider the LCDM model as a UDM model with c_inf=0. We find that the expected evidence clearly shows that the survey data would unquestionably favour UDM models over the LCDM model, for the values c_inf>0.001.

description: Suppose that $Y$ is a scalar and $X$ is a second-order stochastic process, where $Y$ and $X$ are conditionally independent given the random variables $ξ_1,...,ξ_p$ which belong to the closed span $L_X^2$ of $X$. This paper investigates a unified framework for the inverse regression dimension-reduction problem. It is found that the identification of $L_X^2$ with the reproducing kernel Hilbert space of $X$ provides a platform for a seamless extension from the finite- to infinite-dimensional settings. It also facilitates convenient computational algorithms that can be applied to a variety of models.

Manifestation of helical edge states as zero-bias magneto-tunneling-conductance peaks in non-centrosymmetric superconductors

description: Helical edge states exist in the mixed spin-singlet and -triplet phase of a noncentrosymmetric superconductor (NCSS) when the pair amplitude (PA) in the negative helicity band, $Δ_-$, is smaller than the PA in the positive helicity band, $Δ_+$, i.e., when the PA in the triplet component is more than the same in the singlet component. We numerically determine energies of these edge states as a function of $γ= Δ_-/Δ_+$. The presence of these edge states is reflected in the tunneling process from a normal metal to an NCSS across a bias energy $eV$: (i) Angle resolved spin conductance (SC) obeying the symmetry $g_s(ϕ) =-g_s(-ϕ)$ shows peaks when the bias energy equals the available quasiparticle edge state energy provided $|eV| \lesssim Δ_-$. (ii) The total SC, $G_s$, is zero but modulates with $eV$ for finite magnetic field $H$. (iii) The zero bias peaks of $G_s$ and total charge conductance, $G_c$, at finite $H$ split into two at finite $eV$ for moderate $H$. (iv) At zero bias, $G_c$ and $G_s$ increase with $H$ and show peaks at $|H|\sim γH_0$ where $H_0$ is a characteristic field.

High-fidelity universal quantum gates through quantum interference

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Twisted rapid passage is a type of non-adiabatic rapid passage that gives rise to controllable quantum interference effects that were first observed experimentally in 2003. We show that twisted rapid passage sweeps can be used to implement a universal set of quantum gates that operate with high-fidelity. For each gate in the universal set, sweep parameter values are provided which simulations indicate will yield a quantum gate with error probability P_{e} < 10**(-4). Note that all gates in this universal set are driven by a **single** type of control field (twisted rapid passage), and the error probability for each gate falls below the rough-and-ready estimate for the accuracy threshold P_{a} ~ 10**(-4). The simulations suggest that the universal gate set produced by twisted rapid passage shows promise for use in a fault-tolerant scheme for quantum computing.

description: I give a brief overview of a polaron formation in three distinct transition metal oxides: (i) spin polaron when a hole is added to the antiferromagnetic (AF) ordered plane in La$_2$CuO$_4$, (ii) orbital polaron when a hole is added to the alternating orbital (AO) ordered plane in LaMnO$_3$, and (iii) spin-orbital polaron when a hole is added to the AF and AO ordered plane in LaVO$_3$. Comparison of the distinct features of the above polarons can shed some light on the basic differences between the experimental phase diagrams of the lightly doped transition metal oxides La$_{2-x}$Sr$_x$CuO$_4$, La$_{1-x}$Sr$_x$MnO$_3$, and La$_{1-x}$Sr$_{x}$VO$_3$.

description: When a large group of pedestrians moves around a corner, most pedestrians do not follow the shortest path, which is to stay as close as possible to the inner wall, but try to minimize the travel time. For this they accept to move on a longer path with some distance to the corner, to avoid large densities and by this succeed in maintaining a comparatively high speed. In many models of pedestrian dynamics the basic rule of motion is often either "move as far as possible toward the destination" or - reformulated - "of all coordinates accessible in this time step move to the one with the smallest distance to the destination". Atop of this rule modifications are placed to make the motion more realistic. These modifications usually focus on local behavior and neglect long-ranged effects. Compared to real pedestrians this leads to agents in a simulation valuing the shortest path a lot better than the quickest. So, in a situation as the movement of a large crowd around a corner, one needs an additional element in a model of pedestrian dynamics that makes the agents deviate from the rule of the shortest path. In this work it is shown, how this can be achieved by using a flood fill dynamic potential field method, where during the filling process the value of a field cell is not increased by 1, but by a larger value, if it is occupied by an agent. This idea may be an obvious one, however, the tricky part - and therefore in a strict sense the contribution of this work - is a) to minimize unrealistic artifacts, as naive flood fill metrics deviate considerably from the Euclidean metric and in this respect yield large errors, b) do this with limited computational effort, and c) keep agents' movement at very low densities unaltered.

description:

La ricerca, insieme all’insegnamento, ha caratterizzato fin dalla nascita, e continua a caratterizzare, la vita delle Università italiane. Questo volume vuole ripercorrere, attraverso alcuni dei ricercatori più importanti che hanno svolto le loro ricerche nell’Ateneo cagliaritano, i 400 anni dalla sua fondazione, per testimoniare la grande vitalità ma anche le difficoltà attraversate dal nostro Ateneo.

I contenuti di questo volume, presentati al convegno "La ricerca nei 400 anni dell’Università degli Studi di Cagliari”, tenutosi a Cagliari il 23 marzo 2021, insieme al video dedicato ai 400 anni di ricerca nell’Università di Cagliari, disponibile in YouTube, costituiscono una importante testimonianza della storia della ricerca nella nostra Università.

Il primo capitolo racconta le basi sulle quali è stata costruita l’Università degli studi di Cagliari e descrive la storia dei ricercatori presentati nel Video. È interessante notare in questo capitolo come le donne, pur arrivando in ritardo all’Università, abbiano trovato in questa istituzione un riconoscimento importante per il loro avanzamento culturale.

Il volume è quindi dedicato a quattro figure di rilievo che hanno operato nell’Ateneo cagliaritano nel 900: il matematico Enrico Bombieri, il medico Giuseppe Brotzu, l’archeologo Giovanni Lilliu e il fisico Antonio Pacinotti.

Si ringrazia la Rettrice Maria Del Zompo e il Rettore eletto Francesco Mola per avere fortemente voluto questo volume come futura memoria delle celebrazioni dei 400 anni dalla fondazione dell’Università degli studi di Cagliari.
