description: The selection of high-redshift galaxies often involves spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting to photometric data, an expectation for contamination levels, and measurement of sample completeness -- all vetted through comparison to spectroscopic redshift measurements of a sub-sample. The first JWST data is now being taken over several extragalactic fields, to different depths and across various areas, which will be ideal for the discovery and classification of galaxies out to distances previously uncharted. As spectroscopic redshift measurements for sources in this epoch will not be initially available to compare with the first photometric measurements of z > 8 galaxies, robust photometric redshifts are of the utmost importance. Galaxies at z > 8 are expected to have bluer rest-frame ultraviolet (UV) colors than typically-used model SED templates, which could lead to catastrophic photometric redshift failures. We use a combination of BPASS and Cloudy models to create a supporting set of templates that match the predicted rest-UV colors of z > 8 the simulated galaxies in a mock catalog (Yung et al. 2022), which mimics expected field depths and areas of the Cosmic Evolution Early Release Science Survey (CEERS: m$_{5σ}$ ~ 28.6 over ~100 arcmin$^2$; Finkelstein et al. 2022a, Bagley et al. 2022). We use EAZY to highlight the improvements in redshift recovery with the inclusion of our new template set and suggest criteria for selecting galaxies at 8 < z < 10 with JWST, providing an important test case for observers venturing into this new era of astronomy.

description: The pseudogap metal phase of the hole-doped cuprates can be described by small Fermi surfaces of electron-like quasiparticles, which enclose a volume violating the Luttinger relation. This violation requires the existence of additional fractionalized excitations which can be viewed as fractionalized remnants of the paramagnon. We fractionalize the paramagnon into bosonic spinons, and present a gauge theory of bosonic spinons, a Higgs field, and an ancilla layer of fermions coupled to the original electrons. Along with the small Fermi surface metal, this theory displays conventional phases: the Fermi liquid with a low-energy paramagnon mode, and phases with spin density wave order. We follow the evolution of the electronic photoemission spectrum across these quantum phase transitions. We consider both the two-sublattice Néel and incommensurate spin density wave phases.

description: This creative thesis project is a culmination of the Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing degree at UNLV. The thesis - titled Encyclopedia of My Body - was composed entirely during my graduate semesters at UNLV. As a hybrid collection book of poetry, fiction, and creative non-fiction, it explores the different bodies that create and shape human people. Included within these bodies are of course the temporal, organic bodies human people inhabit; using my own body as the focus, I explore the intersections of gender, pain, and transness. This collection however seeks to trouble the idea of bodies, and therefore explores the bodies of relationships, of physics, of home, memory, and of time. Written under the supervision of Maile Chapman (committee chair) and José Orduña (committee member), my committee further includes Anne Stevens (English and Interdisciplinary, Gender, and Ethic Studies) and Lynn Comella (Interdisciplinary, Gender, and Ethic Studies). Their disparate subject and genre interests are meant to diversify the feedback received during this project's composition, but with a particular focus on gender studies. This project comprises 72 pages.
Health Disparities Among Sexual and Gender Minorities

description: Decades of research has shown that sexual and gender minorities (SGMs) experience adverse health and mental health outcomes to a greater extent than their heterosexual peers. The need to better understand and eliminate health disparities in the SGM population was recognized by the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD) at NIH. The Secretary of Health at the Department of Health and Human Services approved the designation of the SGM population as a health disparities population in 2016 and called for SGM studies to examine the health needs of the SGM population across SGM subgroups via large representative samples of the SGM population. This cross-sectional study drew from the 2016 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) to examine the mental health outcome of mental health distress across SGM subgroups in a large representative sample of SGMs and heterosexual adults in the US population. A series of multiple logistic regression analyses were conducted to assess the odds for SGM subgroups to experience more days of mental health distress relative to heterosexual peers. SGM subgroups had significantly greater odds for experiencing both 1-14 days and 15-30 days of mental health distress relative to their heterosexual peers; however, the magnitude of these odds differed across SGM subgroups. Bisexual females had notably greater odds of experiencing more days of mental health distress (OR=5.40, CI 4.16-7.01) while the lesbian females had notably lower odds of mental health distress across SGM subgroups. The odds for lesbian females to experience 1-14 days of mental health distress were no longer significantly greater than their heterosexual peers when adjusting for sociodemographic factors; lesbian females no longer had significantly greater odds of experiencing more days of mental health distress (1-14 days and 15-30 days) than their heterosexual peers when adjusting for education, income, and age; Multiracial females who identified as lesbian had significantly lower odds of experiencing mental health distress relative to White (non-Hispanic) heterosexual females (OR=09, CI .92-.93). The findings from this study support the conclusions put forth in the current SGM research: SGMs have greater odds of experiencing mental health distress compared to their heterosexual peers; however, these odds vary across SGM subgroups and within sociodemographic segments of the SGM population.

description: We consider the Hurwitz Dubrovin--Frobenius manifold structure on the space of meromorphic functions on the Riemann sphere with exactly two poles, one simple and one of arbitrary order. We prove that the all genera partition function (also known as the total descendant potential) associated with this Dubrovin--Frobenius manifold is a tau function of a rational reduction of the Kadomtsev--Petviashvili hierarchy. This statement was conjectured by Liu, Zhang, and Zhou. We also provide a partial enumerative meaning for this partition function associating one particular set of times with enumeration of rooted hypermaps.

description: The spectrum of a non-Hermitian system generically forms a two-dimensional complex Riemannian manifold with distinct topology from the underlying parameter space. Spectral topology permits parametric loops to map the affiliated eigenvalue trajectories into knots. In this work, through analyzing exceptional points and their topology, we uncover the necessary considerations for constructing eigenvalue knots and establish their relation to spectral topology. Using an acoustic system with two periodic synthetic dimensions, we experimentally realize several knots with braid index 3. In addition, by highlighting the role of branch cuts on the eigenvalue manifolds, we show that eigenvalue knots produced by homotopic parametric loops are isotopic such that they can deform into one another by type-II or type-III Reidemeister moves. Our results not only provide a general recipe for constructing eigenvalue knots but also expand the current understanding of eigenvalue knots by showing that they contain information beyond that of the spectral topology.

Such effects are observable if the number of inflationary e-folds is close to the minimum requirement to solve the horizon problem. We show that this can potentially explain two CMB large scale anomalies: the quadrupole-octopole alignment and the quadrupole power suppression. We discuss its effect on the parity anomaly. We also provide analytical template for more detailed data comparison.

description: The center-of-mass energy can be arbitrarily high in Schwarzschild spacetime if one considers the front collision of two particles, one of which moves along so-called white hole geodesics and another one along a black hole geodesic. This process can take place if one considers the gravitational collapse model. In this paper, we consider the well-known naked singularity formation in Vaidya spacetime and investigate the question about two particle collision near the boundary of the collapsing cloud. The center-of-mass energy of the front collision is considered. One particle moves away from the naked singularity and another one falls onto a collapsing cloud. We show that the center-of-mass energy grows unboundly if the collision takes place in the vicinity of the conformal Killing horizon.

description: Microelectromechanical system (MEMS) based on-chip resonators offer great potential for high frequency signal processing circuits like reference oscillators and filters. This is due to their exceptional features like small size, large frequency-quality factor product, integrability with CMOS ICs, low power consumption, low cost batch fabrication etc. A capacitively transduced cantilever beam resonator is one such popular MEMS resonator topology. In this letter, the inherent square-law nonlinearity of the voltage-to-force transfer function of a cantilever resonator's capacitive transducer has been employed for the realization of frequency doubling effect. Using this concept, frequency doubling of input signals of 500 kHz to 1 MHz, and 227.5 kHz to 455 kHz has been experimentally demonstrated for two cantilever beams of length 51.75 and 76.75 micrometer respectively. The MEMS cantilevers have been fabricated with polysilicon using the PolyMUMPs surface micromachining process, and their testing has been performed using Laser Doppler Vibrometry. The test results obtained are in reasonable compliance with the analytical and CoventorWare finite-element simulation results. The high efficiency demonstrated by the cantilever frequency doubler makes it a promising choice for signal generation at high frequencies.

description: We have studied the magnetic relaxation behavior of a two-dimensional Ising ferromagnet by Monte Carlo simulation. Our primary goal is to investigate the effects of the system's geometry (area preserving) , boundary conditions, and dynamical rules on the relaxation behavior. The Glauber and Metropolis dynamical rules have been employed. The systems with periodic and open boundary conditions are studied. The major findings are the exponential relaxation and the dependence of relaxation time ($τ$) on the aspect ratio $R$ (length over breadth having fixed area). A power law dependence ($τ\sim R^{-s}$) has been observed for larger values of aspect ratio ($R$). The exponent ($s$) has been found to depend linearly ($s=aT+b$) on the system's temperature ($T$). The transient behaviours of the spin-flip density have been investigated for both surface and bulk/core. The size dependencies of saturated spin-flip density significantly differ for the surface and the bulk/core. Both the saturated bulk/core and saturated surface spin-flip density was found to follow the logarithmic dependence $f_d = a + b~log(L)$ with the system size. The faster relaxation was observed for open boundary condition with any kind (Metropolis/Glauber) of dynamical rule. Similarly, Metropolis algorithm yields faster relaxation for any kind (open/periodic) of boundary condition.

description: Tools of Topological Data Analysis provide stable summaries encapsulating the shape of the considered data. Persistent homology, the most standard and well studied data summary, suffers a number of limitations; its computations are hard to distribute, it is hard to generalize to multifiltrations and is computationally prohibitive for big data-sets. In this paper we study the concept of Euler Characteristics Curves, for one parameter filtrations and Euler Characteristic Profiles, for multi-parameter filtrations. While being a weaker invariant in one dimension, we show that Euler Characteristic based approaches do not possess some handicaps of persistent homology; we show efficient algorithms to compute them in a distributed way, their generalization to multifiltrations and practical applicability for big data problems. In addition we show that the Euler Curves and Profiles enjoys certain type of stability which makes them robust tool in data analysis. Lastly, to show their practical applicability, multiple use-cases are considered.

description: Newton's second law has limited scope of application when transient phenomena are present. We consider a modification of Newton's second law in order to take into account a sudden change (surge) of angular momentum or linear momentum. We hypothesize that space itself resists such surges according to a kind of induction law (related to inertia); additionally, we provide further evidence of the "fluidic" nature of space itself. This "back-reaction" is quantified by the tendency of angular momentum flux threading across a surface. This quantity is mass-dependent, and bears similarity to the quantum mechanics phase shift, present in the Aharonov-Bohm and Aharonov-Casher effects. Furthermore, this provides evidence of vacuum polarization, a phenomena which is relative to local space indicating that local geometry and topology should be taken into account in any fundamental physical theory.

description: In 1990, D.Snow proposed an effective algorithm for computing the orbits of finite Weyl groups. Snow's algorithm is designed for computation of weights, $W$-orbits and elements of the Weyl group. An extension of Snow's algorithm is proposed, which allows to find pairs of mutually inverse elements together with the calculation of $W$-orbits in the same runtime cycle. This simplifies the calculation of conjugacy classes in the Weyl group. As an example, the complete list of elements of the Weyl group $W(D_4)$ obtained using the extended Snow's algorithm is given. The elements of $W(D_4)$ are specified in two ways: as reduced expressions and as matrices of the faithful representation. We present a partition of this group into conjugacy classes with elements specified as reduced expressions. Various forms are given for representatives of the conjugacy classes of $W(D_4)$: using Carter diagrams, using reduced expressions and using signed cycle-types. In the appendix, we provide an implementation of the algorithm in Python.

description: The second law of thermodynamics tells us which state transformations are so statistically unlikely that they are effectively forbidden. Its original formulation, due to Clausius, states that "Heat can never pass from a colder to a warmer body without some other change, connected therewith, occurring at the same time". The second law applies to systems composed of many particles interacting; however, we are seeing that one can make sense of thermodynamics in the regime where we only have a small number of particles interacting with a heat bath. Is there a second law of thermodynamics in this regime? Here, we find that for processes which are cyclic or very close to cyclic, the second law for microscopic systems takes on a very different form than it does at the macroscopic scale, imposing not just one constraint on what state transformations are possible, but an entire family of constraints. In particular, we find a family of free energies which generalise the traditional one, and show that they can never increase. We further find that there are three regimes which determine which family of second laws govern state transitions, depending on how cyclic the process is. In one regime one can cause an apparent violation of the usual second law, through a process of embezzling work from a large system which remains arbitrarily close to its original state. These second laws are not only relevant for small systems, but also apply to individual macroscopic systems interacting via long-range interactions, which only satisfy the ordinary second law on average. By making precise the definition of thermal operations, the laws of thermodynamics take on a simple form with the first law defining the class of thermal operations, the zeroeth law emerging as a unique condition ensuring the theory is nontrivial, and the remaining laws being a monotonicity property of our generalised free energies.

description: Iterative steady-state solvers are widely used in computational fluid dynamics. Unfortunately, it is difficult to obtain steady-state solution for unstable problem caused by physical instability and numerical instability. Optimization is a better choice for solving unstable problem because steady-state solution is always the extreme point of optimization regardless of whether the problem is unstable or ill-conditioned, but it is difficult to solve partial differential equations (PDEs) due to too many optimization variables. In this study, we propose an Online Dimension Reduction Optimization (ODRO) method to enhance the convergence of the traditional iterative method to obtain the steady-state solution of unstable problem. This method performs proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) on the snapshots collected from a few iteration steps, optimizes PDE residual in the POD subspace to get a solution with lower residual, and then continues to iterate with the optimized solution as the initial value, repeating the above three steps until the residual converges. Several typical cases show that the proposed method can efficiently calculate the steady-state solution of unstable problem with both the high efficiency and robustness of the iterative method and the good convergence of the optimization method. In addition, this method is easy to implement in almost any iterative solver with minimal code modification.

title: Changes in Mirror Lake, Northwestern Washington, as a Result of the Diversion of Water from the Nooksack River
Creators: name: Tracy, Karel
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2001

description: "
Mirror Lake, a small lake in northwest Washington, has been used as a settling pond for water diverted from the Middle Fork of the Nooksack River since 1962. In this thesis, I combine bathymetric data and sediment sampling to document the changes in sedimentation that have resulted from this diversion, and compare these results to a previous study conducted in 1991.

To document the change in the bathymetry of Mirror Lake since 1991, I surveyed the lake in the summer of 2000 using a theodolite and sonar depth gauge. I compared a contour map generated from this survey to the map from the survey of 1991. However, inconsistency in measurement of x-y position between the two surveys prevented accurate comparison of the bathymetry except in an area near the delta.

Four cores collected from three locations in the lake, and 14 grab samples from the uppermost bottom sediments allowed analysis of the post-diversion sediments and comparison to the pre-diversion sediments. The deposits since 1962 were analyzed for the thickness of the strata, grain size, organic content and magnetic susceptibility, and compared to the pre-diversion sediments. The sediments from the diverted water have a thickness of about 1.3 meters near the middle of the lake. The sediments are characterized by very fine to medium sand (diameter 0.063 to 0.5 mm) at the delta and by medium to coarse silt (0.016 to 0.063 mm) near the center of the lake. In contrast, the pre-diversion sediment is primarily organic sediment that has a median grain size equivalent to very fine sand (0.063 to 0.125 mm).

Between 1991 and 2000, about 15,000 +/- 2000 cubic meters of sediment have been deposited; this estimate translates to about 1700 +/- 200 cubic meters per year, or about 0.6% of the lake volume. The estimate is based on the change in bathymetry from 1991 to 2000 in the places where this change was significantly greater than measurement error. For the majority of the lake, I estimated sediment thicknesses from water depth and the sediment thickness at nearby coring sites. My estimate of error for this rate combines errors in estimating the stratigraphic location of the 1991 strata and in estimating sediment thickness where neither coring nor bathymetric comparison provided this information. Five radiocarbon dates from three cores, as well as the presence of Mazama tephra, suggest that organic sediment accumulated at a rate on the order of 40 cubic meters per year prior to the diversion.

description: We consider vacuum polarization of charged scalar matter field outside the tube with magnetic flux inside. The tube is impenetrable for quantum matter and the perfectly rigid (Neumann) boundary condition is imposed at its surface. We write expressions for induced vacuum energy density for the case of a space of arbitrary dimension and for an arbitrary value of the magnetic flux. We do the numerical computation for the case of half-integer flux value in the London flux units and (2+1)-dimensional space-time. We show that the induced vacuum energy of the charged scalar matter field is induced if the Compton wavelength of the matter field exceeds the transverse size of the tube considerably. We show that vacuum energy is periodic in the value of the magnetic flux of the tube, providing a quantum-field-theoretical manifestation of the Aharonov-Bohm effect. The dependencies of the induced vacuum energy upon the distance from the center of the tube under the different values of its thickness were obtained. Obtained results are compared to the results obtained earlier in the case of the perfectly reflecting (Dirichlet) boundary condition. It is shown that the value of the induced vacuum energy density in the case of the Neumann boundary condition is greater than in the case of the Dirichlet boundary condition.

description: We study the statistics and cosmic evolution of massive black hole seeds formed during major mergers of gas-rich late-type galaxies. Generalizing the results of the hydro-simulations from Mayer et al. 2010, we envision a scenario in which a supermassive star can form at the center of galaxies that just experienced a major merger owing to a multi-scale powerful gas inflow, provided that such galaxies live in haloes with masses above 10^{11} Msun, are gas-rich and disc-dominated, and do not already host a massive black hole. We assume that the ultimate collapse of the supermassive star leads to the rapid formation of a black hole of 10^5 Msun following a quasi-star stage. Using a model for galaxy formation applied to the outputs of the Millennium Simulation, we show that the conditions required for this massive black hole formation route to take place in the concordance LambdaCDM model are actually common at high redshift, and can be realized even at low redshift. Most major mergers above z~4 in haloes with mass > 10^{11} Msun can lead to the formation of a massive seed and, at z~2, the fraction of favourable mergers decreases to about half. Interestingly, we find that even in the local universe a fraction (~20%) of major mergers in massive haloes still satisfy the conditions for our massive black hole formation route. Those late events take place in galaxies with a markedly low clustering amplitude, that have lived in isolation for most of their life, and that are experiencing a major merger for the first time. We predict that massive black hole seeds from galaxy mergers can dominate the massive end of the mass function at high (z>4) and intermediate (z~2) redshifts relative to lighter seeds formed at higher redshift, for example, by the collapse of Pop III stars. Finally, a fraction of these massive seeds could lie, soon after formation, above the MBH-MBulge relation.

description:
Beaver Seasons: A Whatcom Phenology is a journal exploring seasonal changes across several beaver-shaped habitats in Whatcom County, Washington. Drawn especially from the author's work co-stewarding one hundred acres of conserved land, the journal's entries reflect on phenology in the lives of beavers and other species who benefit from the ecosystems they create. Inspired by the Japanese form of haibun, the author shapes these events in verse and compressed prose meditations to reckon with nature's cycles, changes, and interconnections in his travel through the year. Through curious and compassionate pursuit, the author seeks new ways to be grateful for the places of which he is a part.

description: We report results from a deep Jansky Very Large Array (JVLA) search for CO 1-0 line emission from galaxies in a candidate galaxy cluster at z~1.55 in the COSMOS field. We target 4 galaxies with optical spectroscopic redshifts in the range z=1.47-1.59. Two of these 4 galaxies, ID51613 and ID51813, are nominally detected in CO line emission at the 3-4 sigma level. We find CO luminosities of 2.4x10^10 K km/s pc^2 and 1.3x10^10 K km/s pc^2, respectively. Taking advantage from the clustering and 2-GHz bandwidth of the JVLA, we perform a search for emission lines in the proximity of optical sources within the field of view of our observations. We limit our search to galaxies with K<23.5 (AB) and z_phot=1.2-1.8. We find 2 bright optical galaxies to be associated with significant emission line peaks (>4 sigma) in the data cube, which we identify with the CO line emission. To test the reliability of the line peaks found, we performed a parallel search for line peaks using a Bayesian inference method. Monte Carlo simulations show that such associations are statistically significant, with probabilities of chance association of 3.5% and 10.7% for ID 51207 and ID 51380, respectively. Modeling of their optical/IR SEDs indicates that the CO detected galaxies and candidates have stellar masses and SFRs in the range (0.3-1.1)x10^11 M_sun and 60-160 M_sun/yr, with SFEs comparable to that found in other star-forming galaxies at similar redshifts. By comparing the space density of CO emitters derived from our observations with the space density derived from previous CO detections at z~1.5, and with semi-analytic predictions for the CO luminosity function, we suggest that the latter tend to underestimate the number of CO galaxies detected at high-redshift. Finally, we argue about the benefits of future blind CO searches in clustered fields with upcoming submm/radio facilities.

description: We present ac conductivity spectra of tellurite glasses at several temperatures. For the first time, we report oscillatory modulations at frequencies around MHz. This effect is more pronounced the lower the temperature, and washes out when approaching the glass transition temperature $T_g$. We show, by using a minimal model, how this modulation may be attributed to the fractal structure of the glass at intermediate mesoscopic length scales.
'Lived Experience' and its Eurocentrisms: Elucidating Colonial Violence in Filipino American Mental Health

description: This paper draws on postcolonial theory, critical mental health literature, and Filipino American psychology to examine the ways in which colonial legacies figure in the contemporary mental health and healthcare experiences of first- and second-generation Filipino Americans. I argue that American colonial rule laid the blueprint for the development of a Filipino American identity rooted in and always striving towards white American ideals. Generations later, these effects continue to be articulated through Filipinos’ complex experiences of shame, indebtedness, and invisibility in the United States. By utilizing interview narratives that go beyond the individual and encompass familial and colonial history, this paper also seeks to challenge Eurocentric assumptions behind what constitutes “lived experience” in critical mental health scholarship– that is, its tendency to reproduce patterns of exclusion and hegemonic knowledge production in its preclusion of the imperial and colonial technologies used to cement difference. In the case of Filipino Americans, whose historical narrative has been systematically diluted, essentialized, and abridged by way of racial and colonial projects, a phenomenological and psychosocially rooted examination uncovers the implicit and understudied ways in which Filipino Americans continue to be disadvantaged by colonial legacies.

description: Early Hearing Detection and Intervention systems rely on collaborative, coordinated systems, yet, in actuality, collaboration is often reduced to periodic communication related to processes. This can be even more important in a state like Idaho where access to providers and resources are limited in rural and remote areas. Researchers at Idaho State University were awarded a grant to bring together key community stakeholders with the goal of evaluating and improving families’ journeys from newborn hearing screening to enrollment in Part B educational services. This paper will outline the process and information that was collected as part of the Idaho Community Collaboration experience as well as identifying key next steps for the state.

description: The universal enveloping algebra $U(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$ of $\mathfrak{sl}_2$ is a unital associative algebra over $\mathbb C$ generated by $E,F,H$ subject to the relations \begin{align*} [H,E]=2E, \qquad [H,F]=-2F, \qquad [E,F]=H. \end{align*} The element $$ Λ=EF+FE+\frac{H^2}{2} $$ is called the Casimir element of $U(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$. Let $Δ:U(\mathfrak{sl}_2)\to U(\mathfrak{sl}_2)\otimes U(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$ denote the comultiplication of $U(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$. The universal Hahn algebra $\mathcal H$ is a unital associative algebra over $\mathbb C$ generated by $A,B,C$ and the relations assert that $[A,B]=C$ and each of \begin{align*} [C,A]+2A^2+B, \qquad [B,C]+4BA+2C \end{align*} is central in $\mathcal H$. Inspired by the Clebsch--Gordan coefficients of $U(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$, we discover an algebra homomorphism $\natural:\mathcal H\to U(\mathfrak{sl}_2)\otimes U(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$ that maps \begin{eqnarray*} A &\mapsto & \frac{H\otimes 1-1\otimes H}{4}, \\ B &\mapsto & \frac{Δ(Λ)}{2}, \\ C &\mapsto & E\otimes F-F\otimes E. \end{eqnarray*} By pulling back via $\natural$ any $U(\mathfrak{sl}_2)\otimes U(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$-module can be considered as an $\mathcal H$-module. For any integer $n\geq 0$ there exists a unique $(n+1)$-dimensional irreducible $U(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$-module $L_n$ up to isomorphism. We study the decomposition of the $\mathcal H$-module $L_m\otimes L_n$ for any integers $m,n\geq 0$. We link these results to the Terwilliger algebras of Johnson graphs. We express the dimensions of the Terwilliger algebras of Johnson graphs in terms of binomial coefficients.

description: The emergent gauge theories are reconsidered in light of supersymmetry and an appropriate emergence conjecture is formulated. Accordingly, it might be expected that only global symmetries are fundamental symmetries of Nature, whereas local symmetries and associated massless gauge fields could solely emerge due to spontaneous breaking of underlying spacetime symmetries involved, such as relativistic invariance and supersymmetry. We further argue that this breaking, taken in the form of the nonlinear sigma-model type pattern for vector fields or superfields, puts essential restrictions on geometrical degrees of freedom of a physical field system that makes it to adjust itself in such a way that its global internal symmetry G turns into the local symmetry G_{loc}. Remarkably, this emergence process may naturally be triggered by supersymmetry, as is illustrated in detail by an example of a general supersymmetric QED model which is then extended to the Standard Model and GUTs. The requirement of vacuum stability in such class of models makes both Lorentz invariance and supersymmetry to become spontaneously broken in the visible sector. As a consequence, massless photon and other gauge bosons appear as the corresponding Goldstone and pseudo-Goldstone zero modes and special local invariance is simultaneously generated. Due to this invariance all possible Lorentz violations are turned out to be completely cancelled out among themselves. However, broken supersymmetry effects related to an existence of a light pseudo-goldstino (being essentially a photino) are still left in the theory. It typically appears in the low-energy particle spectrum as the eV scale stable LSP or the electroweak scale long-lived NLSP, being in both cases accompanied by a very light gravitino, that could be considered as some observational signature in favor of emergent supersymmetric theories.
