description: The first experimental information on the strong interaction between $Λ$ and $Ξ^-$ strange baryons is presented in this Letter. The correlation function of $Λ-Ξ^-$ and $\overlineΛ-\overlineΞ^{+}$ pairs produced in high-multiplicity proton-proton (pp) collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV at the LHC is measured as a function of the relative momentum of the pair. The femtoscopy method is used to calculate the correlation function, which is then compared with theoretical expectations obtained using a meson exchange model, chiral effective field theory, and Lattice QCD calculations close to the physical point. Data support predictions of small scattering parameters while discarding versions with large ones, thus suggesting a weak $Λ-Ξ^{-}$ interaction. The limited statistical significance of the data does not yet allow one to constrain the effects of coupled channels like $Σ-Ξ$ and N$-Ω$.

description: We present high-precision photometric light curves of five O-type stars observed with the refurbished {\it Kepler\/} satellite during its Campaign 0. For one of the stars, we also assembled high-resolution ground-based spectroscopy with the {\sc hermes} spectrograph attached to the 1.2-m Mercator telescope. The stars EPIC202060097 (O9.5V) and EPIC202060098 (O7V) exhibit monoperiodic variability due to rotational modulation with an amplitude of 5.6 mmag and 9.3 mmag and a rotation period of 2.63 d and 5.03 d, respectively. EPIC202060091 (O9V) and EPIC202060093 (O9V:pe) reveal variability at low frequency but the cause is unclear. EPIC202060092 (O9V:p) is discovered to be a spectroscopic binary with at least one multiperiodic $β\,$Cep-type pulsator whose detected mode frequencies occur in the range $[0.11,6.99]$ d$^{-1}$ and have amplitudes between 0.8 and 2.0 mmag. Its pulsation spectrum is shown to be fully compatible with the ones predicted by core-hydrogen burning O-star models. Despite the short duration of some 33\,d and the limited data quality with a precision near 100 $μ$mag of these first K2 data, the diversity of possible causes for O-star variability already revealed from campaigns of similar duration by the MOST and CoRoT satellites is confirmed with {\it Kepler}. We provide an overview of O-star space photometry and give arguments why future K2 monitoring during Campaigns 11 and 13 at short cadence, accompanied by time-resolved high-precision high-resolution spectroscopy opens up the possibility of in-depth O-star seismology.

Multiplicity and rapidity dependence of ${\rm K}^*(892)^0$ and $ϕ(1020)$ production in p-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}$ = 5.02 TeV

description: The transverse-momentum ($p_{\rm T}$) spectra of ${\rm K}^*(892)^0$ and $ϕ(1020)$ measured with the ALICE detector up to $p_{\rm T}$ = 16 GeV/$c$ in the rapidity range $-1.2 < y < 0.3$, in p-Pb collisions at the center-of-mass energy per nucleon-nucleon collision $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}$ = 5.02 TeV are presented as a function of charged particle multiplicity and rapidity. The measured $p_{\rm T}$ distributions show a dependence on both multiplicity and rapidity at low $p_{\rm T}$ whereas no significant dependence is observed at high $p_{\rm T}$. A rapidity dependence is observed in the $p_{\rm T}$-integrated yield (d$N$/d$y$), whereas the mean transverse momentum ($\left< p_{\rm T} \right>$) shows a flat behavior as a function of rapidity. The rapidity asymmetry ($Y_{\rm asym}$) at low $p_{\rm T}$ ( < 5 GeV/$c$) is more significant for higher multiplicity classes. At high $p_{\rm T}$, no significant rapidity asymmetry is observed in any of the multiplicity classes. Both ${\rm K}^*(892)^0$ and $ϕ(1020)$ show similar $Y_{\rm asym}$. The nuclear modification factor ($Q_{\rm CP}$) as a function of $p_{\rm T}$ shows a Cronin-like enhancement at intermediate $p_{\rm T}$, which is more prominent at higher rapidities (Pb-going direction) and in higher multiplicity classes. At high $p_{\rm T}$ (> 5 GeV/$c$), the $Q_{\rm CP}$ values are greater than unity and no significant rapidity dependence is observed.

description: In this paper, we study the joint distribution of the cokernels of random $p$-adic matrices. Let $p$ be a prime and $P_1(t), \cdots, P_l(t) \in \mathbb{Z}_p[t]$ be monic polynomials whose reductions modulo $p$ in $\mathbb{F}_p[t]$ are distinct and irreducible. We determine the limit of the joint distribution of the cokernels $\text{cok} (P_1(A)), \cdots, \text{cok}(P_l(A))$ for a random $n \times n$ matrix $A$ over $\mathbb{Z}_p$ with respect to Haar measure as $n \rightarrow \infty$. By applying the linearization of a random matrix model, we also provide a conjecture which generalizes this result. Finally, we provide a sufficient condition that the cokernels $\text{cok}(A)$ and $\text{cok}(A+B_n)$ become independent as $n \rightarrow \infty$, where $B_n$ is a fixed $n \times n$ matrix over $\mathbb{Z}_p$ for each $n$ and $A$ is a random $n \times n$ matrix over $\mathbb{Z}_p$.

description: The thermal stability and separation characteristic of anti-sticking layers of Pt/Cr films were studied in this paper. Several types of adhesion layers were investigated: 10.0 nm Pt, 1.5 nm Cr+50.0 nm Pt, 2.5 nm Cr+50.0 nm Pt and 3.5 nm Cr+50.0 nm Pt fabricated using direct current magnetron sputtering. The variation of layer thicknesses, roughness, crystallization and surface topography of Pt/Cr films have been analyzed by grazing incidence X-ray reflectometry, large angle X-ray diffraction and the optical profiler before and after heating. 2.5 nm Cr+50.0 nm Pt films exhibit the best thermal stability and separation characteristic according to the heating and hot slumping experiments. The films were also applied as anti-sticking layers to optimize the maximum temperature of hot slumping technology.

description: We present detailed EUV spectra of 4 large solar flares: M5.6, X1.3, X3.4, and X17 classes in the spectral ranges 176-207 Å and 280-330 Å. These spectra were obtained {by the slitless} spectroheliograph SPIRIT aboard the CORONAS-F satellite. To our knowledge these are the first detailed EUV spectra of large flares obtained with spectral resolution of $\sim 0.1$ Å. We performed a comprehensive analysis of the obtained spectra and provide identification of the observed spectral lines. The identification was performed based {on the calculation} of synthetic spectra (CHIANTI database was used), with simultaneous {calculations of DEM} and density of the emitting plasma. More than 50 intense lines are present in the spectra that correspond to a temperature range of $T=0.5-16$ MK; most of the lines belong to Fe, Ni, Ca, Mg, Si ions. In all the considered flares intense hot lines from Ca XVII, Ca XVIII, Fe XX, Fe XXII, and Fe XXIV are observed. The calculated DEMs have a peak at $T \sim 10$ MK. The densities were determined using Fe XI - Fe XIII lines and averaged $6.5 \times 10^9$ cm$^{-3}$. We also discuss the identification, accuracy and major discrepancies of the spectral line intensity prediction.

description: Context. Edge-on galaxies can offer important insights in galaxy evolution as they are the only systems where the distribution of the different components can be studied both radially and vertically. The HEROES project was designed to investigate the interplay between the gas, dust, stars and dark matter (DM) in a sample of 7 massive edge-on spiral galaxies. Aims. In this second HEROES paper we present an analysis of the atomic gas content of 6 out of 7 galaxies in our sample. The remaining galaxy was recently analysed according to the same strategy. The primary aim of this work is to constrain the surface density distribution, the rotation curve and the geometry of the gas disks in a homogeneous way. In addition we identify peculiar features and signs of recent interactions. Methods. We construct detailed tilted-ring models of the atomic gas disks based on new GMRT 21-cm observations of NGC 973 and UGC 4277 and re-reduced archival HI data of NGC 5907, NGC 5529, IC 2531 and NGC 4217. Potential degeneracies between different models are resolved by requiring a good agreement with the data in various representations of the data cubes. Results. From our modelling we find that all but one galaxy are warped along the major axis. In addition, we identify warps along the line of sight in three galaxies. A flaring gas layer is required to reproduce the data only for one galaxy, but (moderate) flares cannot be ruled for the other galaxies either. A coplanar ring-like structure is detected outside the main disk of NGC 4217, which we suggest could be the remnant of a recent minor merger event. We also find evidence for a radial inflow of 15 +- 5 km/s in the disk of NGC 5529, which might be related to the ongoing interaction with two nearby companions. (Abridged)

description: Let $X$ be a quasicompact quasiseparated scheme. The collection of derived Azumaya algebras in the sense of Toën forms a group, which contains the classical Brauer group of $X$ and which we call $Br^\dagger(X)$ following Lurie. Toën introduced a map $ϕ:Br^\dagger(X)\to H^2_{et}(X,\mathbb G_m)$ which extends the classical Brauer map, but instead of being injective, it is surjective. In this paper we study the restriction of $ϕ$ to a subgroup $Br(X)\subset Br^\dagger(X)$, which we call the "derived Brauer group", on which $ϕ$ becomes an isomorphism $Br(X)\simeq H^2_{et}(X,\mathbb G_m)$. This map may be interpreted as a derived version of the classical Brauer map which offers a way to "fill the gap" between the classical Brauer group and the cohomogical Brauer group. The group $Br(X)$ was introduced by Lurie by making use of the theory of prestable $\infty$-categories. There, the mentioned isomorphism of abelian groups was deduced from an equivalence of $\infty$-categories between the "Brauer space" of invertible presentable prestable $\mathcal O_X$-linear categories, and the space $Map(X,K(\mathbb G_m,2))$. We offer an alternative proof of this equivalence of $\infty$-categories, characterizing the functor from the left to the right via gerbes of connective trivializations, and its inverse via connective twisted sheaves. We also prove that this equivalence carries a symmetric monoidal structure, thus proving a conjecture of Binda an Porta.

Conformally and Disformally Coupled Vector field Models of Dark Energy
Creators: name: Gómez, Gabriel
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Scalar fields coupled to dark matter by conformal or disformal transformations give rise to a general class of scalar-tensor theories which leads to a rich phenomenology in a cosmological setting. While this possibility has been studied comprehensively in the literature for scalar fields, the vector case has been hardly treated. We build hence models based on vector fields conformally and disformally coupled to dark matter and derive explicitly the general covariant form of the interaction term in an independent way of the gravity theory, whereby this result can be applied to general vector-tensor theories. For concreteness, the standard Proca theory with a vector exponential potential is taken to describe the vector-tensor sector, and some specific coupling functions are assumed to study the cosmological background dynamics by dynamical system techniques. Despite of choosing such a minimalist form for the underlying theory, the parameter space is considerably enriched compared to the uncoupled case due to the novel interactions, leading to new branches of solutions for the vector equation of motion. Thus, different trajectories can exist in phase space depending on the coupling parameters associated to the conformal and disformal functions. From here, new emerging vector-dark matter scaling solutions, and renewed stable attractor points are found to drive the late-time accelerated expansion of the universe. As a first examination about instabilities issues, we derive general conditions to avoid classical instabilities in a more general setup of the theory. Numerical calculations are performed as well to investigate more quantitatively the impact of the conformal and disformal couplings on the cosmological background evolution. These effects depend essentially on the strength on the coupling parameters and, in some specific cases, on their associated signs.

Onsager's irreversible thermodynamics of the dynamics of transient pores in spherical lipid vesicles

description: Onsager's irreversible thermodynamics is used to perform a systematic deduction of the kinetic equations governing the opening and collapse of transient pores in spherical vesicles. We show that the edge tension has to be determined from the initial stage of the pore relaxation and that in the final state the vesicle membrane is not completely relaxed, since the surface tension and the pressure difference are about $25\%$ of its initial value. We also show that the pore life-time is controlled by the solution viscosity and its opening is driven by the solution leak-out and the surface tension drop. The final collapse is due to a non-linear interplay between the edge and the surface tensions together with the pressure difference. Also, we discuss the connection with previous models.

description: This paper presents a data-learned linear Koopman embedding of nonlinear networked dynamics and uses it to enable real-time model predictive emergency voltage control in a power network. The approach involves a novel data-driven ``basis-dictionary free" lifting of the system dynamics into a higher dimensional linear space over which an MPC (model predictive control) is exercised, making it both scalable and rapid for practical real-time implementation. A Koopman-inspired deep neural network (KDNN) encoder-decoder architecture for the linear embedding of the underlying dynamics under distributed controls is presented, in which the end-to-end components of the KDNN comprising of a triple of transforms is learned from the system trajectory data in one go: A Neural Network (NN)-based lifting to a higher dimension, a linear dynamics within that higher dimension, and an NN-based projection to the original space. This data-learned approach relieves the burden of the ad-hoc selection of the nonlinear basis functions (e.g., polynomial or radial) used in conventional approaches for lifting to higher dimensional linear space. We validate the efficacy and robustness of the approach via application to the standard IEEE 39-bus system.
On the nonintegrality of certain generalized binomial sums

description: We consider certain generalized binomial sums $\mathcal{S}_{(r,n)}(\ell)$ and discuss the nonintegrality of their values for integral parameters $n,r \geq 1$ and $\ell \in \mathbb{Z}$ in several cases using $p$-adic methods. In particular, we show some properties of the denominator of $\mathcal{S}_{(r,n)}(\ell)$. Viewed as polynomials, the sequence $(\mathcal{S}_{(r,n)}(x))_{n \geq 0}$ forms an Appell sequence. The special case $\mathcal{S}_{(r,n)}(2)$ reduces to the sum $\sum_{k=0}^{n} \binom{n}{k} \frac{r}{r+k}$, which has recently received some attention from several authors regarding the conjectured nonintegrality of its values. So far, only a few cases have been proved. The generalized results imply, among other things, for even $|\ell| \geq 2$ that $\mathcal{S}_{(r,n)}(\ell) \notin \mathbb{Z}$ when $\binom{r+n}{r}$ is even, e.g., $r$ and $n$ are odd. Although there exist exceptions where $\mathcal{S}_{(r,n)}(\ell) \in \mathbb{Z}$, ``almost all'' values of $\mathcal{S}_{(r,n)}(\ell)$ for $n,r \geq 1$ are nonintegral for any fixed $|\ell| \geq 2$. Subsequently, we also derive explicit inequalities between the parameters for which $\mathcal{S}_{(r,n)}(\ell) \notin \mathbb{Z}$. Especially, this is shown for certain small values of $\ell$ for $r \geq n$ and $n > r \geq \frac{1}{5} n$. As a supplement, we finally discuss exceptional cases where $\mathcal{S}_{(r,n)}(\ell) \in \mathbb{Z}$.

Nature Based Solutions

description: Causal loop diagrams can provide a useful tool for synthesising the complex interrelationships between Nature Based Solutions (NBS) and health. Following prioritization with representatives from the Urban Living Labs (ULLs), we focused on street trees as an example of a NBS with the potential to reduce the heat island effect, improve air quality, increase carbon sequestration, and improve the quality of living environments. We define street trees as trees growing alongside public roads, regardless of whether they are managed by local authorities or by private individuals or corporations. 

The burden of disease around mental health is high and projected to increase. Finding population level strategies to avoid, reduce and mitigate poor mental health is a key priority globally. Interest in the potential of street trees to help adapt to the consequences of environmental change, whilst sequestering carbon and contributing to better health and wellbeing outcomes is growing.

While links between nature and mental health, urban trees and mental health, and overall benefits of street trees have been documented in a number of reviews, the links between street trees and mental health remain less clear. This report provides important insights into the use of causal loop diagrams in unpicking the complexities.

description: In this study we set out to conduct a thematic analysis of jealousy in polyamorous relationships, reporting results on a free response item which asked polyamorous participants to describe a time when they had experienced jealousy in a relationship. Participants were instructed that this can include the circumstances, reasons for experiencing jealousy, how they resolved it, etc. and to feel free to be candid and expressive, describing anything that may be relevant to their experience. Qualitative and quantitative methods will be used to provide (1) a thematic analysis of messages contained in individuals response to the question discussed above, and (2) descriptive statistics of demographics and other relevant incidence. Additionally, depending on the qualitative themes evident in the responses, quantitative measures and demographic items will be used to further illicit themes that emerge.

Until now, the most used method of prediction involving tens of TNOs/Centaurs was to consider a constant offset for the right ascension and for the declination with respect to a reference ephemeris. This offset is determined as the difference between the most recent observations of the TNO and the reference ephemeris. This method can be successfully applied when the offset remains constant with time. This paper presents an alternative method of prediction based on a new accurate orbit determination procedure, which uses all the available positions of the TNO from the Minor Planet Center database plus sets of new astrometric positions from unpublished observations. The orbit determination is performed through a numerical integration procedure (NIMA), in which we develop a specific weighting scheme. The NIMA method was applied for 51 selected TNOs/Centaurs. For this purpose, we have performed about 2900 new observations during 2007-2014. Using NIMA, we succeed in predicting the stellar occultations of 10 TNOs and 3 Centaurs between 2013 and 2015. By comparing the NIMA and JPL ephemerides, we highlighted the variation of the offset between them with time. Giving examples, we show that the constant offset method could not accurately predict 6 out of the 13 observed positive occultations successfully predicted by NIMA. The results indicate that NIMA is capable of efficiently refine the orbits of these bodies. Finally, we show that the astrometric positions given by positive occultations can help to further refine the orbit of the TNO and consequently the future predictions. We also provide the unpublished observations of the 51 selected TNOs and their ephemeris in a usable format by the SPICE library.

description: We propose a quantum repeater architecture that can operate under ambient conditions. Our proposal builds on recent progress towards non-cryogenic spin-photon interfaces based on nitrogen-vacancy centers, which have excellent spin coherence times even at room temperature, and optomechanics, which allows to avoid phonon-related decoherence and also allows the emitted photons to be in the telecom band. We apply the photon number decomposition method to quantify the fidelity and the efficiency of entanglement established between two remote electron spins. We describe how the entanglement can be stored in nuclear spins and extended to long distances via quasi-deterministic entanglement swapping operations involving the electron and nuclear spins. We furthermore propose schemes to achieve high-fidelity readout of the spin states at room temperature using the spin-optomechanics interface. Our work shows that long-distance quantum networks made of solid-state components that operate at room temperature are within reach of current technological capabilities.

description: We present a fully differential next-to-next-to-leading order calculation of charm quark production in charged-current deep-inelastic scattering, with full charm-quark mass dependence. The next-to-next-to-leading order corrections in perturbative quantum chromodynamics are found to be comparable in size to the next-to-leading order corrections in certain kinematic regions. We compare our predictions with data on dimuon production in (anti-)neutrino scattering from a heavy nucleus. Our results can be used to improve the extraction of the parton distribution function of a strange quark in the nucleon.

description: The unit vectors transformation between the Cartesian and the novel Similar Oblate Spheroidal coordinates, and vice versa, is derived. It can help to transform vector fields between these two types of orthogonal coordinates which can advantageously simplify solutions of problems exhibiting oblate spheroidal geometry. Several examples demonstrate the use of the derived relations. Generalized sine and cosine applicable in Similar Oblate Spheroidal coordinate system are introduced.

description: Variational quantum algorithms (VQAs) provide a promising approach to achieving quantum advantage for practical problems on near-term noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices. Thus far, most studies on VQAs have focused on qubit-based systems, but the power of VQAs can be potentially boosted by exploiting infinite-dimensional continuous-variable (CV) systems. Here, we implement the CV version of one VQA, a quantum approximate optimization algorithm by developing an automated collaborative computing system between a programmable photonic quantum computer and a classical computer. We experimentally demonstrate that this algorithm solves the minimization problem of simple continuous functions by implementing the quantum version of gradient descent to localize an initially broadly-distributed wavefunction to the minimum. This method allows the execution of a practical CV quantum algorithm on a physical platform. Our work can be extended to the minimization of more general functions, providing an alternative to achieve the quantum advantage in practical problems.

Optimal Power Flow in Four-Wire Distribution Networks: Formulation and Benchmarking

description: In recent years, several applications have been proposed in the context of distribution networks. Many of these can be formulated as an optimal power flow problem, a mathematical optimization program which includes a model of the steady-state physics of the electricity network. If the network loading is balanced and the lines are transposed, the network model can be simplified to a single-phase equivalent model. However, these assumptions do not apply to low-voltage distribution networks, so the network model should model the effects of phase unbalance correctly. In many parts of the world, the low-voltage distribution network has four conductors, i.e. three phases and a neutral. This paper develops OPF formulations for such networks, including transformers, shunts and voltage-dependent loads, in two variable spaces, i.e. current-voltage and power-voltage, and compares them for robustness and scalability. A case study across 128 low-voltage networks also quantifies the modelling error introduced by Kron reductions and its impact on the solve time. This work highlights the advantages of formulations in current-voltage variables over power-voltage, for four-wire networks.
