description: The combination of a number of correlated estimates of a given observable is frequently performed using the Best Linear Unbiased Estimate (BLUE) method. Most features of such a combination can already be seen by analysing the special case of a pair of estimates from two correlated estimators of the observable. Two important parameters of this combination are the weight of the less precise estimate and the ratio of uncertainties of the combined result and the more precise estimate. Derivatives of these quantities are derived with respect to the correlation and the ratio of uncertainties of the two estimates. The impact of using either absolute or relative uncertainties in the BLUE combination is investigated on a number of examples including Peelle's Pertinent Puzzle. Using an example, a critical assessment is performed of suggested methods to deal with the fact that both the correlation and the ratio of uncertainties of a pair of estimates are typically only known with some uncertainty. Finally, a proposal is made to decide on the usefulness of a combination and to perform it. The proposal is based on possible improvements with respect to the most precise estimate by including additional estimates. This procedure can be applied to the general case of several observables.

description: We establish the test which allows to show that a mean does not admit a weak-Hardy property. As a result we prove that Hardy and weak-Hardy properties are equivalent in the class of homogeneous, symmetric, repetition invariant, and Jensen concave mean on $\mathbb{R}_+$. More precisely, for every mean $\mathscr{M} \colon \bigcup_{n=1}^\infty \mathbb{R}_+^n \to \mathbb{R}$ as above, the inequality $$\mathscr{M}(a_1)+\mathscr{M}(a_1,a_2)+\dots<\infty$$ holds for all $a \in \ell^1(\mathbb{R}_+)$ if and only if there exists a positive, real constant $C$ (depending only on $\mathscr{M}$) such that $$\mathscr{M}(a_1)+\mathscr{M}(a_1,a_2)+\dots

description: We extend our recent analysis of the limitations of the effective field theory approach to studying dark matter at the LHC, by investigating the case in which Dirac dark matter couples to standard model quarks via $t$-channel exchange of a heavy scalar mediator. We provide analytical results for the validity of the effective field theory description, for both $\sqrt{s}$ = 8 TeV and 14 TeV. We make use of a MonteCarlo event generator to assess the validity of our analytical conclusions. We also point out the general trend that in the regions where the effective field theory is valid, the dark matter relic abundance is typically large.

description: We present the first application of a Nested Sampling algorithm to explore the high-dimensional phase space of particle collision events. We describe the adaptation of the algorithm, designed to perform Bayesian inference computations, to the integration of partonic scattering cross sections and the generation of individual events distributed according to the corresponding squared matrix element. As a first concrete example we consider gluon scattering processes into 3-, 4- and 5-gluon final states and compare the performance with established sampling techniques. Starting from a flat prior distribution Nested Sampling outperforms the Vegas algorithm and achieves results comparable to a dedicated multi-channel importance sampler. We outline possible approaches to combine Nested Sampling with non-flat prior distributions to further reduce the variance of integral estimates and to increase unweighting efficiencies.

Model order reduction strategies for weakly dispersive waves

Subjects: subject: Numerical Analysis (math.NA)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: We focus on the numerical modelling of water waves by means of depth averaged models. We consider in particular PDE systems which consist in a nonlinear hyperbolic model plus a linear dispersive perturbation involving an elliptic operator. We propose two strategies to construct reduced order models for these problems, with the main focus being the control of the overhead related to the inversion of the elliptic operators, as well as the robustness with respect to variations of the flow parameters. In a first approach, only a linear reduction strategies is applied only to the elliptic component, while the computations of the nonlinear fluxes are still performed explicitly. This hybrid approach, referred to as pdROM, is compared to a hyper-reduction strategy based on the empirical interpolation method to reduce also the nonlinear fluxes. We evaluate the two approaches on a variety of benchmarks involving a generalized variant of the BBM-KdV model with a variable bottom, and a one-dimensional enhanced weakly dispersive shallow water system. The results show the potential of both approaches in terms of cost reduction, with a clear advantage for the pdROM in terms of robustness, and for the EIMROM in terms of cost reduction.

description: Magnon-mediated spin transport across nonmagnetic metal (NM) and ferromagnetic insulator (FI) interface depends critically on electron-magnon coupling. We propose a novel route to enhance electron-magnon coupling dynamically from transport viewpoint. Using non-equilibrium Green's function a theoretical formalism for magnon-mediated spin current is developed. In the language of transport, the effective electron-magnon coupling at NM/FI interface is determined by self-energy of FI lead, which is proportional to density of states (DOS) at NM/FI interface due to nonlinear process of electron-magnon conversion. By modifying interfacial DOS, the spin conductance of 2D and 3D NM/FI systems can be increased by almost three orders of magnitude, setting up a new platform of manipulating dynamical electron-magnon coupling.

The corresponding three-loop kernel functions are calculated using asymptotic expansion techniques which lead to analytic expressions. Our final result, $a_μ^{\rm had,NNLO} = 1.24 \pm 0.01 \times 10^{-10}$, has the same order of magnitude as the current uncertainty of the leading order hadronic contribution and should thus be included in future analyses.

description: Lepton Flavor Violating (LFV) observables such as $μ\to eγ$, $μ\to 3e$ and $μN \to eN$ are among the best probes for new physics at the TeV scale. In the near future the bounds on these observables will improve by many orders of magnitude. In this work we use the SM EFT to understand the impact of these measurements. The precision reach is such that the interpretation of the bounds requires an analysis of the dimension-six operator mixing up to the two-loop level. Using on-shell amplitude techniques, which make transparent many selection rules, we classify and calculate the different operator mixing chains. At the leading order, on-shell techniques allow to calculate anomalous dimensions of SM EFT operators from the product of tree-level amplitudes, even for two-loop renormalization group mixings. We illustrate the importance of our EFT approach in models with extra vector-like fermions.

description: We show how calculable IR loop effects impact positivity bounds in Effective Field Theories with causal and unitary UV completions. We identify infrared singularities which appear in dispersion relations at $|t|\lesssim m^2$. In the massless limit, they weaken two-sided bounds based on crossing symmetry, such as the lower bound on the amplitude for Galileon scattering. For amplitudes that are analytic in $s$ even for large negative $t$, i.e. $|t|\gg m^2$, we propose a new simple analytic approach to dispersive bounds, which are instead insensitive to the singularities, and explicitly compute the finite contributions from loops. Finally we show that the singularity do not affect the bounds based on smearing in impact parameter.

description: We apply a recent formalism of quantum geodesics to the well-known bicrossproduct model $λ$-Minkowski quantum spacetime $[x^i,t]=\imathλ_p x^i$ with its flat quantum metric as a model of quantum gravity effects, with $λ_p$ the Planck scale. As examples, quantum geodesic flow of a plane wave gets an order $λ_p$ frequency dependent correction to the classical geodesic velocity. A quantum geodesic flow with classical velocity $v$ of a Gaussian with width $\sqrt{2β}$ initially centred at the origin changes its shape but its centre of mass moves with ${\over}=v(1+{λ_p^2\over 2β}+O(λ^3_p))$, an order $λ_p^2$ correction. This implies, at least within perturbation theory, that a `point particle' cannot be modelled as an infinitely sharp Gaussian due to quantum gravity corrections. For contrast, we also look at quantum geodesics on the noncommutative torus with a 2D curved weak quantum Levi-Civita connection.

description: In these times of “fake news,” knowledge contexts and knowledge sources should be important to both management practice and theory. Building on strategic sensemaking, this study aims to identify the influence of the type of formal external knowledge source on the strategic interpretation of environmental changes. Therefore, this article adresses formal external knowledge sources in the sensing of threats in comparison to the sensing of opportunities. Using second respondent and objectively validated survey data from top managers of 483 firms, we show that the type of formal external knowledge source influences the strategic interpretation of environmental changes. The results also reveal that the strength of these associations is moderated differently by a firm’s general intensity of gathering and interpreting environmental knowledge.

description: We have observed the eigenmodes of coupled transverse domain walls in a pair of ferromagnetic nanowires. Although the pair is coupled magnetostatically, its spectrum is determined by a combination of pinning by edge roughness and dipolar coupling of the two walls. Because the corresponding energy scales are comparable, the coupling can be observed only at the smallest wire separations. A model of the coupled wall dynamics reproduces the experiment quantitatively, allowing for comparisons with the estimated pinning and domain wall coupling energies. The results have significant implications for the dynamics of devices based on coupled domain walls.

description: Selling new products is a major success factor, particularly in today’s fast changing environment. Surprisingly, existing insights on the role of the sales force adoption as a key antecedent of customer’s innovation adoption consistently focus on the salespeople’s perspective. This study, however, examines the effect of the sales force adoption on the customer’s innovation adoption, by looking at it from a customer’s point of view. By analyzing objectively validated survey responses about an industrial innovation from salesperson-visited business customers, the authors provide insights into the effect of customers’ perceived salesperson adoption on the customer’s innovation adoption. Surprisingly, findings show that the customers’ attitudinal adoption of an innovation is negatively driven by their perception of salesperson’s effort. Results also reveal that a high number of competing products in the same market reduce the chance of a salesperson perceived as highly committed to sell a highly-innovative product

description: This work studies the dependence of the solution with respect to interface geometric perturbations in a multiscaled coupled Darcy flow system in direct variational formulation. A set of admissible perturbation functions and a sense of convergence are presented, as well as sufficient conditions on the forcing terms, in order to conclude strong convergence statements. For the rate of convergence of the solutions we start solving completely the one dimensional case using orthogonal decompositions on appropriate subspaces. Finally, the rate of convergence question is analyzed in a simple multiple dimensional setting, studying the nonlinear operators introduced by the geometric perturbations.

We present toy models of $\mathbb{Z}_2$ Weyl semimetals which have surface modes forming helical Fermi arcs. We also show that Dirac points with $\mathbb{Z}_2$ topological charge are stable in a semimetal with time-reversal, inversion, and SU(2) spin rotation symmetries when the square of the product of time-reversal and inversion equals plus identity. Furthermore, we briefly discuss the topological stability of point nodes in superconductors using Clifford algebras.

description: When pursuing sustainable approaches to fabricate photonic structures, nature can be used as a source of inspiration for both the nanoarchitecture and the constituent materials. Although several biomaterials have been promised as suitable candidates for photonic materials and pigments, their fabrication processes have been limited to the small to medium-scale production of films. Here, by employing a substrate-free process, structurally coloured microparticles are produced via the confined self-assembly of a cholesteric cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) suspension within emulsified microdroplets. Upon drying, the droplets undergo multiple buckling events, which allow for greater contraction of the nanostructure than predicted for a spherical geometry. This buckling, combined with a solvent or thermal post-treatment, enables the production of dispersions of vibrant red, green, and blue cellulose photonic pigments. The hierarchical structure of these pigments enables the deposition of coatings with angular independent colour, offering a consistent visual appearance across a wide range of viewing angles.

A Trained Regularization Approach Based on Born Iterative Method for Electromagnetic Imaging

description: A trained-based Born iterative method (TBIM) is developed for electromagnetic imaging (EMI) applications. The proposed TBIM consists of a nested loop; the outer loop executes TBIM iteration steps, while the inner loop executes a trained iterative shrinkage thresholding algorithm (TISTA). The applied TISTA runs linear Landweber iterations implemented with a trained regularization network designed based on U-net architecture. A normalization process was imposed in TISTA that made TISTA training applicable within the proposed TBIM. The iterative utilization of the regularization network in TISTA is a bottleneck that demands high memory allocation through the training process. Therefore TISTA within each TBIM step was trained separately. The TISTA regularization network in each TBIM step was initialized using the weights from the previous TBIM step. The above approach achieved high-quality image restoration after running few TBIM steps while maintained low memory allocation through the training process. The proposed framework can be extended to Newton or quasi-Newton schemes, where within each Newton iteration, a linear ill-posed problem is optimized that differs from one example to another. The numerical results illustrated in this work show the superiority of the proposed TBIM compared to the conventional sparse-based Born iterative method (SBIM).

description: We explore different limits of exactly solvable vector and matrix fermionic quantum mechanical models with quartic interactions at finite temperature. The models preserve a $U(1)\times SU(N)\times SU(L)$ symmetry at the classical level and we analyze them through bosonization techniques introducing scalar (singlet) and matrix (non-singlet) bosonic fields. The bosonic path integral representations in the vector limits $(N,1)$ and $(1,L)$ are matched to fermionic Fock space Hamiltonians expressed in terms of quadratic Casimirs and some additional terms involving the Cartan subalgebra, which makes explicit the symmetries preserved by scalar and matrix bosonizations at the quantum level. For the case of non-singlet bosonization we find an equivalence between the vector model and the Polychronakos+Frahm spin model. Using this relation we compute the free energy. Finally, we compute the eigenvalue distribution in the large $N,L$-limit with $ α= \frac{L}{N}$ fixed. The model displays a third order phase transition as we vary the temperature which, in the $α\gg1$ limit, can be characterized analytically. We conclude finding the critical curve in the parameter space were the eigenvalue distribution transitions from single to double cut.

LHC search for di-Higgs decays of stoponium and other scalars in events with two photons and two bottom jets

description: We study the prospects for LHC discovery of a narrow resonance that decays to two Higgs bosons, using the final state of two photons and two bottom jets. Our work is motivated in part by a scenario in which two-body flavor-preserving decays of the top squark are kinematically forbidden. Stoponium, a hadronic bound state of the top squark and its anti-particle, will then form, and may have a large branching fraction into the two Higgs boson final state. We estimate the cross-section needed for a 5-sigma discovery at the 14 TeV LHC for such a narrow di-Higgs resonance, using the invariant mass distributions of the final state bottom jets and photons, as a function of the integrated luminosity. The results are also applicable to any other di-Higgs resonance produced by gluon fusion.

Quantum time mirrors for general two-band systems

Subjects: subject: 530 Physik

description: Methods that are devised to achieve reversal of quantum dynamics in time have been named "quatum time mirrors". Such a time mirror can be considered as a generalization of Hahn's spin echo to systems with continuous degrees of freedom. We extend the quantum time mirror protocol originally proposed for Dirac dispersions to arbitrary two-band systems and establish the general requirements for its efficient implementation. We further discuss its sensitivity to various non- homogeneous perturbations including disorder potentials and the effect of external static magnetic and electric fields. Our general statements are verified for a number of exemplary Hamiltonians, whose phase-coherent dynamics are studied both analytically and numerically. The Hamiltonians considered can be used to describe the low-energy properties of systems as diverse as cold atom- optics setups, direct band gap semiconductors or (mono- or bilayer) graphene. We discuss the consequences of many-body effects at a qualitative level, and consider the protocol feasibility in state-of-the-art experimental setups.

description: Continuous variable quantum states of light are used in quantum information protocols and quantum metrology and known to degrade with loss and added noise. We were able to show the distribution of bright polarization squeezed quantum states of light through an urban free-space channel of 1.6 km length. To measure the squeezed states in this extreme environment, we utilize polarization encoding and a post-selection protocol that is taking into account classical side information stemming from the distribution of transmission values. The successful distribution of continuous variable squeezed states is accentuated by a quantum state tomography, allowing for determining the purity of the state.

description: We classify all non-invertible Kramers-Wannier duality defects in the $E_8$ lattice Vertex Operator Algebra (i.e. the chiral $(E_8)_1$ WZW model) coming from $\mathbb{Z}_m$ symmetries. We illustrate how these defects are systematically obtainable as $\mathbb{Z}_2$ twists of invariant sub-VOAs, compute defect partition functions for small $m$, and verify our results against other techniques. Throughout, we focus on taking a physical perspective and highlight the important moving pieces involved in the calculations. Kac's theorem for finite automorphisms of Lie algebras and contemporary results on holomorphic VOAs play a role. We also provide a perspective from the point of view of (2+1)d Topological Field Theory and provide a rigorous proof that all corresponding Tambara-Yamagami actions on holomorphic VOAs can be obtained in this manner. We include a list of directions for future studies.

description: Particle production during cosmic expansion can be interpreted as a two-mode squeezing process of quantum states. The two-mode squeezed states consist of an infinite number of entangled particles and then enhance the nonclassicality of particles. There are two methods for estimating the degree of squeezing. One is to employ instantaneous vacuum states, and the other is to adopt adiabatic vacuum states. We analytically study the squeezing process of gravitons and axions by using the two methods. We first consider a cosmological model of inflation followed by instantaneous reheating leading to a radiation dominated era. In the case of gravitons, we find no qualitatively difference in the squeezing between the two methods. However, for the axions, it turns out that the squeezing in the instantaneous vacuum increases as the mass increases while the squeezing decreases in the adiabatic vacuum as the mass increases. We then study the effect of non-instantaneous reheating on the the squeezing and show that the squeezing is enhanced compared with the instantaneous reheating. We also illustrate how the squeezed states enhance the violation of Bell inequality and quantum noise of gravitons and axions.

Colour alignment for relative colour constancy via non-standard references

description: Relative colour constancy is an essential requirement for many scientific imaging applications. However, most digital cameras differ in their image formations and native sensor output is usually inaccessible, e.g., in smartphone camera applications. This makes it hard to achieve consistent colour assessment across a range of devices, and that undermines the performance of computer vision algorithms. To resolve this issue, we propose a colour alignment model that considers the camera image formation as a black-box and formulates colour alignment as a three-step process: camera response calibration, response linearisation, and colour matching. The proposed model works with non-standard colour references, i.e., colour patches without knowing the true colour values, by utilising a novel balance-of-linear-distances feature. It is equivalent to determining the camera parameters through an unsupervised process. It also works with a minimum number of corresponding colour patches across the images to be colour aligned to deliver the applicable processing. Two challenging image datasets collected by multiple cameras under various illumination and exposure conditions were used to evaluate the model. Performance benchmarks demonstrated that our model achieved superior performance compared to other popular and state-of-the-art methods.
