description: Different formulations of the $4d$ compact lattice QED with staggered fermions (standard Wilson and modified by suppression of lattice artifacts) are investigated by Monte Carlo simulations within the quenched approximation. We show that after suppressing lattice artifacts the system undergoes a phase transition from the Coulomb phase into a presumably weakly chirally broken phase only at (unphysical) negative $β$--values.

title: Indigenous co-governance of volcanoes
Creators: name: Talwar, Smrithi
Publisher: name: GNS Science
Year: 2021

description: Westernised nations typically conceptualise nature and landscapes as being subject to property-based ownership. Whether owned by private individual(s) or by the state, the owner has the right to modify its features, to permit its modification by others, and the right to take action against those who modify or impact the resource through their actions. By contrast, traditional or indigenous relationships with nature and landscapes are rooted in a very different paradigm of human-nature relations. This paradigm is typified by strong links to cultural identity. Frequently, personhood is attributed to key features in natural landscapes, such as rivers, mountains, volcanoes and forests. The aim of this report is to make an initial contribution to a longer-term project on the co governance of volcanoes, looking at ways in which cultural understandings of indigenous communities interface with modern hazard management and risk mitigation practices. This report does the following: Undertakes a desktop study of the contrasting paradigms of human-nature relationships internationally and within Aotearoa New Zealand, Reviews case law examples of ‘environmental personhood’ both internationally and within Aotearoa New Zealand, and Provides recommendations for next steps in this research, with a focus on culturally embedded methodologies. The report finds that experiments across the world around granting rights to nature can act as a bridge between two world views, i.e. between westernised legal systems and indigenous cultural values. Aotearoa New Zealand’s legal innovation in relation to the Te Urewera protected area and Te Awa Tupua (Whanganui river) has inspired similar efforts elsewhere in the world. After exploring these experiments with rights to nature or ‘environmental personhood’, this report makes an initial analysis of two recent co-governance initiatives around volcanoes in Aotearoa New Zealand: (a) the formation of the Maunga Authority in relation to volcanoes in the Auckland volcanic field, and (b) volcanoes in the Tongariro National Park. The report concludes with suggestions for taking this work forward. Exploring these initiatives in greater detail would hold useful lessons for indigenous communities in other parts of the world who are concerned with issues of self-determination and cultural identify linked to these natural landscapes, as well as to environmental campaigners who hope these innovations will result in the improved environmental health and management of these landscapes.

description: Millimeter wave (mmWave) communication links for 5G cellular technology require high beamforming gain to overcome channel impairments and achieve high throughput. While much work has focused on estimating mmWave channels and designing beamforming schemes, the time dynamic nature of mmWave channels quickly renders estimates stale and increases sounding overhead. We model the underlying time dynamic state space of mmWave channels and design sounding beamformers suitable for tracking in a Kalman filtering framework. Given an initial channel estimate, filtering efficiently leads to refined estimates and allows forward prediction for higher sustained beamforming gain during data transmission. From tracked prior channel estimates, adaptively chosen optimal and constrained suboptimal beams reduce sounding overhead while minimizing estimation error.

Effects of dynamical paths on the energy gap and the corrections to free energy in path integrals of mean-field quantum spin systems
Creators: name: Koh, Yang Wei
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Disordered Systems and Neural Networks (cond-mat.dis-nn)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In current studies of mean-field quantum spin systems, much attention is placed on the calculation of the ground-state energy and the excitation gap, especially the latter which plays an important role in quantum annealing. In pure systems, the finite gap can be obtained by various existing methods such as the Holstein-Primakoff transform, while the tunneling splitting at first-order phase transitions has also been studied in detail using instantons in many previous works. In disordered systems, however, it remains challenging to compute the gap of large-size systems with specific realization of disorder. Hitherto, only quantum Monte Carlo techniques are practical for such studies. Recently, Knysh [Nature Comm. \textbf{7}, 12370 (2016)] proposed a method where the exponentially large dimensionality of such systems is condensed onto a random potential of much lower dimension, enabling efficient study of such systems. Here we propose a slightly different approach, building upon the method of static approximation of the partition function widely used for analyzing mean-field models. Quantum effects giving rise to the excitation gap and non-extensive corrections to the free energy are accounted for by incorporating dynamical paths into the path integral. The time-dependence of the trace of the time-ordered exponential of the effective Hamiltonian is calculated by solving a differential equation perturbatively, yielding a finite-size series expansion of the path integral. Formulae for the first excited-state energy are proposed to aid in computing the gap. We illustrate our approach using the infinite-range ferromagnetic Ising model and the Hopfield model, both in the presence of a transverse field.

description: We study the effects of quenched one-dimensional disorder on the holographic Weyl semimetal quantum phase transition (QPT), with a particular focus on the quantum critical region. We observe the smearing of the sharp QPT linked to the appearance of rare regions at the horizon where locally the order parameter is non-zero. We discuss the role of the disorder correlation and we compare our results to expectations from condensed matter theory at weak coupling. We analyze also the interplay of finite temperature and disorder. Within the quantum critical region we find indications for the presence of log-oscillatory structures in the order parameter hinting at the existence of an IR fixed point with discrete scale invariance.

description: Activated sludge, which is difficult and expensive to be treated and disposed, is a keen concern in wastewater treatment plants. In this study, magnetic sludge biochar containing activated sludge and different size (14.3, 40.2 and 90.5 nm) of Fe3O4 nanoparticles was investigated as an effective adsorbent for tetracycline (TC) adsorption. Magnetic sludge-based biochar was prepared by a facile cross-linking method and characterized by using transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and zeta potential analysis. The adsorption performances of TC on three kinds of adsorbents were investigated. Although 14.3 nm Fe3O4 nanoparticles could be inclined to aggregate and partially filled with pores of biochar, it turned out that magnetic sludge biochar with 14.3 nm Fe3O4 nanoparticles exhibited optimum performance for TC removal with adsorption capacity up to 184.5 mg g−1, due to the larger amounts of functional groups and the change of zeta potential. Furthermore, the adsorption kinetics of TC on three kinds of adsorbents were studied, which implied that the pseudo-second-order kinetic model exhibited the better fit for all the sorption process.

description: The field is expanded in a wavelet series and the wavelet coefficients are varied in a simulation of the 2D $ϕ^4$ field theory. The drastically reduced autocorrelations result in a substantial decrease of computing requirements, compared to those in local Metropolis simulations. A large part of the improvement is shown to be the result of an additional freedom in the choice of the allowed range of change at the Metropolis update of wavelet components, namely the range can be optimized independently for all wavelet sizes.

The corresponding Hamiltonian can be promoted into a Hermitian operator acting in the physical Hilbert space, implying a unitary evolution for the system. Consequences for the black hole physics are discussed. In particular, this manifestly unitary theory rules out the Hawking scenario for the endpoint of the black hole evaporation process.

description: We present the first results of applying Gaussian Mixture Models in the stellar kinematic space of normalized angular momentum and binding energy on NIHAO high resolution galaxies to separate the stars into multiple components. We exemplify this method using a simulated Milky Way analogue, whose stellar component hosts: thin and thick discs, classical and pseudo bulges, and a stellar halo. The properties of these stellar structures are in good agreement with observational expectations in terms of sizes, shapes and rotational support. Interestingly, the two kinematic discs show surface mass density profiles more centrally concentrated than exponentials, while the bulges and the stellar halo are purely exponential. We trace back in time the Lagrangian mass of each component separately to study their formation history. Between z~3 and the end of halo virialization, z~1.3, all components lose a fraction of their angular momentum. The classical bulge loses the most (~95%) and the thin disc the least (~60%). Both bulges formed their stars in-situ at high redshift, while the thin disc formed ~98% in-situ, but with a constant SFR~1.5M$_{\rm\odot}$/yr$^{\rm-1}$ over the last ~11 Gyr. Accreted stars (6% of total stellar mass) are mainly incorporated to the thick disc or the stellar halo, which formed ex-situ 8% and 45% of their respective masses.

description: We investigate universality, scaling, the beta-function and the topological charge in the positive plaquette model for SU(2) lattice gauge theory. Comparing physical quantities, like the critical temperature, the string tension, glueball masses, and their ratios, we explore the effect of a complete suppression of a certain lattice artifact, namely the negative plaquettes, for SU(2) lattice gauge theory. Our result is that this modification does not change the continuum limit, i.e., the universality class. The positive plaquette model and the standard Wilson formulation describe the same physical situation. The approach to the continuum limit given by the beta-function in terms of the bare lattice coupling, however, is rather different: the beta-function of the positive plaquette model does not show a dip like the model with standard Wilson action.

description: We consider a renormalizable two-dimensional model of dilaton gravity coupled to a set of conformal fields as a toy model for quantum cosmology. We discuss the cosmological solutions of the model and study the effect of including the backreaction due to quantum corrections. As a result, when the matter density is below some threshold new singularities form in a weak coupling region, which suggests that they will not be removed in the full quantum theory. We also solve the Wheeler-DeWitt equation. Depending on the quantum state of the Universe, the singularities may appear in a quantum region where the wave function is not oscillatory, i.e., when there is not a well defined notion of classical spacetime.

The $π$-$N$ and $π$-$π$ scattering lengths are also calculated for comparison. The calculations are made with heavy quarks corresponding to $m_π/m_ρ\approx 0.73-0.95$. The results show that the $N$-$N$ system has an attractive force in both spin-singlet and triplet channels, with their scattering lengths significantly larger than those for the $π$-$N$ and $π$-$π$ cases, a trend which is qualitatively consistent with the experiment. Problems toward a more realistic calculation for light quarks are discussed.

Cosmic Censorship in 2-Dimensional Dilaton Gravity

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The global structure of 2-dimensional dilaton gravity is studied, attending in particular to black holes and singularities. A gravitational energy is defined and shown to be positive at spatial singularities and negative at temporal singularities. Trapped points are defined, and it is shown that spatial singularities are trapped and temporal singularities are not. Thus a local form of cosmic censorship holds for positive energy. In an analogue of gravitational collapse to a black hole, matter falling into an initially flat space creates a spatial curvature singularity which is cloaked in a spatial or null apparent horizon with non-decreasing energy and area.

description: This paper deals with the numerical (finite volume) approximation of reaction-diffusion systems with relaxation, among which the hyperbolic extension of the Allen--Cahn equation represents a notable prototype. Appropriate discretizations are constructed starting from the kinetic interpretation of the model as a particular case of reactive jump process. Numerical experiments are provided for exemplifying the theoretical analysis (previously developed by the same authors) concerning the stability of traveling waves, and important evidence of the validity of those results beyond the formal hypotheses is numerically established.

description: We review recent developments in differential topology with special concern for their possible significance to physical theories, especially general relativity. In particular we are concerned here with the discovery of the existence of non-standard (``fake'' or ``exotic'') differentiable structures on topologically simple manifolds such as $S^7$, \R and $S^3\times {\bf R^1}.$ Because of the technical difficulties involved in the smooth case, we begin with an easily understood toy example looking at the role which the choice of complex structures plays in the formulation of two-dimensional vacuum electrostatics. We then briefly review the mathematical formalisms involved with differentiable structures on topological manifolds, diffeomorphisms and their significance for physics. We summarize the important work of Milnor, Freedman, Donaldson, and others in developing exotic differentiable structures on well known topological manifolds. Finally, we discuss some of the geometric implications of these results and propose some conjectures on possible physical implications of these new manifolds which have never before been considered as physical models.

description: Learning to rank has been intensively studied and widely applied in information retrieval. Typically, a global ranking function is learned from a set of labeled data, which can achieve good performance on average but may be suboptimal for individual queries by ignoring the fact that relevant documents for different queries may have different distributions in the feature space. Inspired by the idea of pseudo relevance feedback where top ranked documents, which we refer as the \textit{local ranking context}, can provide important information about the query's characteristics, we propose to use the inherent feature distributions of the top results to learn a Deep Listwise Context Model that helps us fine tune the initial ranked list. Specifically, we employ a recurrent neural network to sequentially encode the top results using their feature vectors, learn a local context model and use it to re-rank the top results. There are three merits with our model: (1) Our model can capture the local ranking context based on the complex interactions between top results using a deep neural network; (2) Our model can be built upon existing learning-to-rank methods by directly using their extracted feature vectors; (3) Our model is trained with an attention-based loss function, which is more effective and efficient than many existing listwise methods. Experimental results show that the proposed model can significantly improve the state-of-the-art learning to rank methods on benchmark retrieval corpora.

Fractal Structure in Two-Dimensional Quantum Regge Calculus

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Lattice (hep-lat)

description: We study the fractal structure of the surface in two-dimensional quantum Regge calculus by performing Monte Carlo simulation with up to 200,000 triangles. The result can be compared with the universal scaling function obtained analytically in the continuum limit of dynamical triangulation, which provides us with a definite criterion whether Regge calculus serves as a proper regularization of quantum gravity. When the scale-invariant measure is taken as the measure of the link-length integration, we observe the correct scaling behavior in the data for the type of loop attached to a baby universe. The data seem to converge to the universal scaling function as the number of triangles is increased. The data for the type of loop attached to the mother universe, on the other hand, shows no scaling behavior up to the present size.

description: We propose the difference weak measurement scheme, and illustrate its advantages for measuring small longitude phase-shift in high precision. Compared to the standard interferometry and standard weak measurement schemes, the proposed scheme has much higher resolution in present of various practical imperfections, such as alignment error and light intensity variation error. Moreover, we highlight the advantage of utilizing complex weak value, where its imaginary part can reduce the harmful effect induced by channel decoherence. Finally, we propose closed-loop scenario to solve the narrow dynamic range problem obsessing the current weak measurement schemes. Difference weak measurement scheme simultaneously fulfills the requirements of high precision, wide dynamic range and strong robustness, which makes it a powerfully practical tool for phase-shift measurement and other metrological tasks.

description: Monopole and photon contributions to abelian Wilson loops are calculated using Monte-Carlo simulations of finite-temperature $SU(2)$ QCD in the maximally abelian gauge. Long monopole loops alone are responsible for the behavior of the string tension in the confinement phase up to the critical $β_c$. Short monopole loops and photons do not contribute to the string tension. The abelian and the monopole spacial string tensions (both of which agree with the normal ones for $β< β_c$) show a $g^{4}(T) T^2$ scaling behavior in the deconfinement phase. The abelian spacial string tension is in agreement with the full one even in the deconfinement phase.

description: Rapid and profound changes in the technology used for data acquisition, computing and information management provides a framework that has the potential to allow communities to consider acquiring, analysing and managing data in new ways. Improving the collection and management of data, immediately in post-disaster response and reconnaissance and in long-term impact assessments, is central to enabling knowledge of such events to be used and applied to improve community resilience to future disasters. This report is focused on the collection of data on the physical damage to assets, such as buildings, infrastructure and agriculture, as well as impacts to people. Several existing tools for field data collection were reviewed and their strength and limitations were discussed. We concluded none of reviewed data capture tools were suitable for direct adoption as the next generation of data capture tool due to limitations inherent with each tool. Learned from the findings of the tools review, we proposed a conceptual design for the next generation of data capture tool along with three key themes, namely efficiency, transparency and standardisation. In summary, the major functions of next generation data collection tool are: Easy to use via smarter interface and latest technology; Peril- and purpose-specific data collection forms, easily expansible for other applications; Visual presentation and statistical analysis to support decision-making; Enough documentation designed for various user groups This report intends to enable improved design of data collection within the context of risk reduction and readiness, as well as facilitating efficient and rapid capture of damage distributi/on across the affected region. This in turn supports better decision making for a quicker disaster response and recovery. (auth)

description: Learning to rank with biased click data is a well-known challenge. A variety of methods has been explored to debias click data for learning to rank such as click models, result interleaving and, more recently, the unbiased learning-to-rank framework based on inverse propensity weighting. Despite their differences, most existing studies separate the estimation of click bias (namely the \textit{propensity model}) from the learning of ranking algorithms. To estimate click propensities, they either conduct online result randomization, which can negatively affect the user experience, or offline parameter estimation, which has special requirements for click data and is optimized for objectives (e.g. click likelihood) that are not directly related to the ranking performance of the system. In this work, we address those problems by unifying the learning of propensity models and ranking models. We find that the problem of estimating a propensity model from click data is a dual problem of unbiased learning to rank. Based on this observation, we propose a Dual Learning Algorithm (DLA) that jointly learns an unbiased ranker and an \textit{unbiased propensity model}. DLA is an automatic unbiased learning-to-rank framework as it directly learns unbiased ranking models from biased click data without any preprocessing. It can adapt to the change of bias distributions and is applicable to online learning. Our empirical experiments with synthetic and real-world data show that the models trained with DLA significantly outperformed the unbiased learning-to-rank algorithms based on result randomization and the models trained with relevance signals extracted by click models.
