Lightcone Modular Bootstrap and Tauberian Theory: A Cardy-like Formula for Near-extremal Black Holes

description: We show that for a unitary modular invariant 2D CFT with central charge $c>1$ and having a nonzero twist gap in the spectrum of Virasoro primaries, for sufficiently large spin $J$, there always exist spin-$J$ operators with twist falling in the interval $(\frac{c-1}{12}-\varepsilon,\frac{c-1}{12}+\varepsilon)$ with $\varepsilon=O(J^{-1/2}\log J)$. We establish that the number of Virasoro primary operators in such a window has a Cardy-like i.e. $\exp\left(2π\sqrt{\frac{(c-1)J}{6}}\right)$ growth. We make further conjectures on potential generalization to CFTs with conserved currents. A similar result is proven for a family of holographic CFTs with the twist gap growing linearly in $c$ and a uniform boundedness condition, in the regime $J\gg c^3\gg1$. From the perspective of near-extremal rotating BTZ black holes (without electric charge), our result is valid when the Hawking temperature is much lower than the "gap temperature".

description: Food recognition and nutritional apps are trending technologies that may revolutionise the way people with diabetes manage their diet. Such apps can monitor food intake as a digital diary and even employ artificial intelligence to assess the diet automatically. Although these apps offer a promising solution for managing diabetes, they are rarely used by patients. This chapter aims to provide an in-depth assessment of the current status of apps for food recognition and nutrition, to identify factors that may inhibit or facilitate their use, while it is accompanied by an outline of relevant research and development.

description: We apply laser light to induce the asymmetric heating of Janus colloids adsorbed at water-oil interfaces and realize active micrometric "Marangoni surfers". The coupling of temperature and surfactant concentration gradients generates Marangoni stresses leading to self-propulsion. Particle velocities span four orders of magnitude, from microns/s to cm/s, depending on laser power and surfactant concentration. Experiments are rationalized by finite elements simulations, defining different propulsion regimes relative to the magnitude of the thermal and solutal Marangoni stress components.

A Deep Learning Approach to Quasar Continuum Prediction
Creators: name: Liu, Bin

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We present a novel intelligent quasar continuum neural network (iQNet), predicting the intrinsic continuum of any quasar in the rest-frame wavelength range 1020 Angstroms $\leq λ\leq$ 1600 Angstroms. We train this network using high-resolution Hubble Space Telescope/Cosmic Origin Spectrograph ultraviolet quasar spectra at low redshift ($z \sim 0.2$) from the Hubble Spectroscopic Legacy Archive, and apply it to predict quasar continua from different astronomical surveys. We utilize the HSLA quasar spectra that are well-defined in the rest-frame wavelength range [1020, 1600] Angstroms with an overall median signal-to-noise ratio of at least five. The iQNet achieves a median AFFE of 2.24% on the training quasar spectra, and 4.17% on the testing quasar spectra. We apply iQNet and predict the continua of $\sim$3200 SDSS-DR16 quasar spectra at higher redshift ($2< z \leq 5$) and measure the redshift evolution of mean transmitted flux ($< F >$) in the Ly-$α$ forest region. We measure a gradual evolution of $< F >$ with redshift, which we characterize as a power-law fit to the effective optical depth of the Ly-$α$ forest. Our measurements are broadly consistent with other estimates of $$ in the literature, but provide a more accurate measurement as we are directly measuring the quasar continuum where there is minimum contamination from the Ly-$α$ forest. This work proves that the deep learning iQNet model can predict the quasar continuum with high accuracy and shows the viability of such methods for quasar continuum prediction.

Methodology of decolonizing gender and international development : a view from China
Creators: name: Ling, Mee Lain
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This research study is an analysis, which I undertook during my internship at UNESCO Office Beijing, of a multilateral inter-governmental agency's Gender and Development conceptual framework in education and implementation of this framework in education at the field office level. By deconstructing dominant paradigms of development, the study makes a case that international development and Gender and Development paradigms are shot through with hegemonic feminist and dominant development thought which operate to mutually reinforce each other. In wishing to go beyond a project of deconstruction that implicates "first world developers" and Euroamerican-orientated feminists, this study then shifts to another path. The goal of this path is to extend on Chela Sandoval's (2000) Methodology of the Oppressed to identify and specify a methodology of decolonizing. This methodology is one which aims to look at possible psychological and ideological aspects of decolonizing mind and heart in development. This approach is profoundly shaped by Linda Tuhiwai Smith's (1999) work and aims to continue a theme she speaks to in Decolonizing Methodologies: Research and Indigenous Peoples. Combining this with using love collectively as social movement, this methodology of decolonizing seeks to contribute to the increasing resistance and agitation among a diverse array of thinkers to transform development's dominant paradigm. Throughout, I aim to make transparent my herstory, motivations, and locations from which I approach this research topic as well as my personal journey through decolonizing transformations. This journey is stirred by personal experiences of 'awakening' that have been inspired by conversations with friends, family, comrades-in-struggle and UNESCO Beijing colleagues, and guided primarily by the works of Linda Tuhiwai Smith, Chela Sandoval, Arturo Escobar, Desmond Tutu, Chandra Talpade Mohanty, James Fadiman and Robert Frager, Gloria Anzaldua, bell hooks, Audre Lorde, Patricia Monture-Angus, Aihwa Ong, Trinh T. Minh-ha and Cornel West, among many other admirable activists striving for greater humanity in today's world of gross inequalities.
The Neon Abundance of Galactic Wolf-Rayet Stars

Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: The fast, dense winds which characterize Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars obscure their underlying cores, and complicate the verification of evolving core and nucleosynthesis models. Core evolution can be probed by measuring abundances of wind-borne nuclear processed elements, partially overcoming this limitation. Using ground-based mid-infrared spectroscopy and the 12.81um [NeII] emission line measured in four Galactic WR stars, we estimate neon abundances and compare to long-standing predictions from evolved-core models. For the WC star WR121, this abundance is found to be >~11x the cosmic value, in good agreement with predictions. For the three less-evolved WN stars, little neon enhancement above cosmic values is measured, as expected. We discuss the impact of clumping in WR winds on this measurement, and the promise of using metal abundance ratios to eliminate sensitivity to wind density and ionization structure.

description: We work in the locally de Sitter background of an inflating universe and consider a massless, minimally coupled scalar with a quartic self-interaction. We use dimensional regularization to compute the fully renormalized scalar self-mass-squared at one and two loop order for a state which is released in Bunch-Davies vacuum at t=0. Although the field strength and coupling constant renormalizations are identical to those of lfat space, the geometry induces a non-zero mass renormalization. The finite part also shows a sort of growing mass that competes with the classical force in eventually turning off this system's super-acceleration.

description: Through model Hamiltonian studies and first-principle electronic structure calculations, we have examined the effect of inversion symmetry breaking (ISB) field and hydrostatic pressure on the band topology of halide perovskites by taking MAPbI$_3$ as a prototype. Our study shows that while hydrostatic pressure induces normal to topological insulator continuous phase transition, the ISB field makes it first order. The pressure smoothly reduces the normal bandgap, and without ISB, the system achieves a gapless state before it produces a non-trivial bandgap with inverted characters. The ISB field does not stabilize the gapless state, and therefore, the discontinuity in the bandgap with pressure gives rise to the first-order transition. Furthermore, in the non-trivial phase, the ISB field forms an invariant surface Dirac circle in the neighbourhood of TRIM, which is first of its kind. The circle is formed due to interpenetration of Dirac cones resembling the band topology of AA-stacked bilayer graphene.
The Statistics of Crumpled Paper

Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)

description: A statistical study of crumpled paper is allowed by a minimal 1D model: a self-avoiding line bent at sharp angles -- in which resides the elastic energy -- put in a confining potential. Many independent equilibrium configurations are generated numerically and their properties are investigated. At small confinement, the distribution of segment lengths is log-normal in agreement with previous predictions and experiments. At high confinement, the system approaches a jammed state with a critical behavior, whereas the length distribution follows a Gamma law which parameter is predicted as a function of the number of layers in the system.

description: A triple radio source recently detected in association with the luminous infrared source IRAS 16547-4247 has been studied with high angular resolution and high sensitivity with the Very Large Array at 3.6 and 2 cm. Our observations confirm the interpretation that the central object is a thermal radio jet, while the two outer lobes are most probably heavily obscured HH objects. The thermal radio jet is resolved angularly for the first time and found to align closely with the outer lobes. The opening angle of the thermal jet is estimated to be $\sim 25^\circ$, confirming that collimated outflows can also be present in massive protostars. The proper motions of the outer lobes should be measurable over timescales of a few years. Several fainter sources detected in the region are most probably associated with other stars in a young cluster.

description: Existing safety assurance approaches for autonomous vehicles (AVs) perform system-level safety evaluation by placing the AV-under-test in challenging traffic scenarios captured by abstract scenario specifications and investigated in realistic traffic simulators. As a first step towards scenario-based testing of AVs, the initial scene of a traffic scenario must be concretized. In this context, the scene concretization challenge takes as input a high-level specification of abstract traffic scenes and aims to map them to concrete scenes where exact numeric initial values are defined for each attribute of a vehicle (e.g. position or velocity). In this paper, we propose a traffic scene concretization approach that places vehicles on realistic road maps such that they satisfy an extensible set of abstract constraints defined by an expressive scene specification language which also supports static detection of inconsistencies. Then, abstract constraints are mapped to corresponding numeric constraints, which are solved by metaheuristic search with customizable objective functions and constraint aggregation strategies. We conduct a series of experiments over three realistic road maps to compare eight configurations of our approach with three variations of the state-of-the-art Scenic tool, and to evaluate its scalability.

The artist and teacher-leader : the appearance of Hannah Arendt’s "In-between"
Creators: name: Daniel, Mary Jane
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Hannah Arendt's, The Human Condition, presents a foundation to examine the formation of identity within the context of her triumvirate, labour, work and action or the vita activa. I am most interested in her idea of an "in-between" space that captures the "reality [of] the webs of human relationships, indicating by the metaphor its somewhat intangible quality" (1958, p. 183). However intangible the "in-between" it is no less real and it is in the webs of relationships where we may develop a sense of safety, courage, and the willingness to do what is good, and act in our daily lives. In order to develop webs of relationships in my daily labour, work and action as both an artist and a teacher-leader, I explore the private and public spaces that are available for me to labour, work and act, the conditions that nurture or mitigate against action, and the opportunities for renewal, that is, rebirth or natality, within the plurality of others. In Chapter One: Opening, I explore the formation of my identity as both an artist and as a teacher-leader, the emerging "in-between" space between my practices and how each practice sheds light on the other. In Chapter Two: Labour, I discuss labour in relation to my practices. Labour is necessary and never ending, and has its own pleasures. However, in order to live a full life, it is not sufficient to labour alone. In Chapter Three: Work, Arendt's notion of work as it differs from labour is explained in the context of how work objects place us in the world and serve to remind us of our purposes and our identities. Work results in a product, but as in labour, work is not sufficient in realizing a full life. However, work may lead to action, considered the most important aspect in the vita activa. In Chapter Four: Action, I explain how Arendt contends that for us to be truly alive, we need to become engaged in action where people have an opportunity to re-create themselves or experience "natality" amongst a plurality, or previously existing, others. In order to foster such relationships, we require both public and private spaces in our practice worlds. In Chapter Five: The In-Between, I describe where the "in-between" began for me and how this space is so important in my efforts to live a better life and how it contributes to forming the various webs of relationships as I move from labour and work towards action.

description: We study the perturbations up to the 2nd-order for a power-law inflation driven by a scalar field in synchronous coordinates. We present the 1st-order solutions, and analytically solve the 2nd-order perturbed Einstein equation and scalar field equation, give the 2nd-order solutions for all the scalar, vector, and tensor metric perturbations, as well as the perturbed scalar field. During inflation, the 1st-order tensor perturbation is a wave and is decoupled from other perturbations, the scalar metric perturbation and the perturbed scalar field are coupled waves, propagating at the speed of light, differing from those in the dust and relativistic fluid models. The 1st-order vector perturbation is not wave and just decreases during inflation. The 2nd-order perturbed Einstein equation is similar in structure to the 1st-order one, but various products of the 1st-order perturbations occur as the effective source, among which the scalar-scalar coupling is considered in this paper. The solutions of all the 2nd-order perturbations consist of a homogeneous part similar to the 1st-order solutions, and an inhomogeneous part in a form of integrations of the effective source. The 2nd-order vector perturbation is also a wave since the effective source is composed of the 1st-order waves. We perform the residual gauge transformations between synchronous coordinates up to the 2nd-order, and identify the 1st-order and 2nd-order gauge modes.

description: The possibility to utilize different types of two-qubit gates on a single quantum computing platform adds flexibility in the decomposition of quantum algorithms. A larger hardware-native gate set may decrease the number of required gates, provided that all gates are realized with high fidelity. Here, we benchmark both controlled-Z (CZ) and exchange-type (iSWAP) gates using a parametrically driven tunable coupler that mediates the interaction between two superconducting qubits. Using randomized benchmarking protocols we estimate an error per gate of $0.9\pm0.03\%$ and $1.3\pm0.4\%$ fidelity for the CZ and the iSWAP gate, respectively. We argue that spurious $ZZ$-type couplings are the dominant error source for the iSWAP gate, and that phase stability of all microwave drives is of utmost importance. Such differences in the achievable fidelities for different two-qubit gates have to be taken into account when mapping quantum algorithms to real hardware.

description: Magnetic multilayers of $(SrRuO_3)_m(SrMnO_3)_n$ were grown artificially using the pulsed laser deposition technique on (001)-oriented $SrTiO_3$ substrates. The state of strain at the interfaces and the structural coherency are studied in details utilizing asymmetrical $X$-ray diffraction and the $\sin ^2ψ$ method. First, the evolution of the lattice parameters, the crystallinity and the epitaxy of the films are evaluated as a function of the number of $SrMnO_3$ unit cells using $X$-rays diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. Second, our results on the stress indicate that the $SrRuO_3/SrMnO_3$ superlattices show a larger residual strain as compared to the single layer film of $SrRuO_3$. This suggests that the lattice stiffening from interfacial strain and inhibiting the dislocation by composition modulation. Finally, these results bring insights on the interfacial stress measurements of oxide multilayers that can be used to control the physical properties at the level of the atomic scale.

description: We report theoretical studies of charge transport in single-stranded DNA in the direction perpendicular to the backbone axis. We find that, if the electrodes which sandwich the DNA have the appropriate spatial width, each nucleotide carries a unique signature due to the different electronic and chemical structure of the four bases. This signature is independent of the nearest-neighbor nucleotides. Furthermore, except for the nucleotides with Guanine and Cytosine bases, we find that the difference in conductance of the nucleotides is large for most orientations of the bases with respect to the electrodes. By exploiting these differences it may be possible to sequence single-stranded DNA by scanning its length with conducting probes.

description: We analyze the stability and decay of supercurrents of strongly interacting bosons on optical lattices. At the mean field level, the system undergoes an irreversible dynamic phase transition, whereby the current decays beyond a critical phase gradient that depends on the interaction strength. At commensurate filling the transition line smoothly interpolates between the classical modulational instability of weakly interacting bosons and the equilibrium Mott transition at zero current. Below the mean field instability, the current can decay due to quantum and thermal phase slips. We derive asymptotic expressions of the decay rate near the critical current. In a three dimensional optical lattice this leads to very weak broadening of the transition. In one and two dimensions the broadening leads to significant current decay well below the mean field critical current. We show that the temperature scale below which quantum phase slips dominate the decay of supercurrents, is easily within experimental reach.

description: In this article we consider shape optimization problems as optimal control problems via the method of mappings. Instead of optimizing over a set of admissible shapes a reference domain is introduced and it is optimized over a set of admissible transformations. The focus is on the choice of the set of transformations, which we motivate from a function space perspective. In order to guarantee local injectivity of the admissible transformations we enrich the optimization problem by a nonlinear constraint. The approach requires no parameter tuning for the extension equation and can naturally be combined with geometric constraints on volume and barycenter of the shape. Numerical results for drag minimization of Stokes flow are presented.
Driven-dissipative phase transition in a Kerr oscillator: From semiclassical $\mathcal{PT}$ symmetry to quantum fluctuations

description: We study a minimal model that has a driven-dissipative quantum phase transition, namely a Kerr non-linear oscillator subject to driving and dissipation. Using mean-field theory, exact diagonalization, and the Keldysh formalism, we analyze the critical phenomena in this system, showing which aspects can be captured by each approach and how the approaches complement each other. Then critical scaling and finite-size scaling are calculated analytically using the quantum Langevin equation. The physics contained in this simple model is surprisingly rich: it includes a continuous phase transition, $Z_{2}$ symmetry breaking, $\mathcal{PT}$ symmetry, state squeezing, and critical fluctuations. Due to its simplicity and solvability, this model can serve as a paradigm for exploration of open quantum many-body physics.

description: Recently signatures of superconductivity were observed close to 80 K in \LN\ under pressure. This discovery positions \LN\ as the first bulk nickelate with high-temperature superconductivity, but the lack of zero resistance presents a significant drawback for validating the findings. Here we report pressure measurements up to over 30 GPa using a liquid pressure medium and show that single crystals of \LNO\ do exhibit zero resistance. We find that \LNO\ remains metallic under applied pressures, suggesting the absence of a metal-insulator transition proximate to the superconductivity. Analysis of the normal state $T$-linear resistance suggests an intricate link between this strange metal behaviour and superconductivity, whereby at high pressures both the linear resistance coefficient and superconducting transition are slowly suppressed by pressure, while at intermediate pressures both the superconductivity and strange metal behaviour appear disrupted, possibly due to a nearby structural instability. The association between strange metal behaviour and high-temperature superconductivity is very much in line with diverse classes of unconventional superconductors, including the cuprates and Fe-based superconductors. Understanding the superconductivity of \LNO\ evidently requires further revealing the interplay of strange metal behaviour, superconductivity, as well as possible competing electronic or structural phases.

description: This paper presents the evaluation of the Radar Cross Section (RCS) of a metallic object by measurements accomplished within the diffuse-field environment produced by a Reverberation Chamber (RC). The method is based on the extraction of the ballistic wave between the antenna and the target that is mixed with the backscattering response of the RC. A good agreement is obtained when compared with classical RCS measurement inside an anechoic chamber. This communication also highlights the potential stirrer positioning issues and their impact on the retrieved RCS accuracy.

description: Binary systems consisting of a white dwarf and a main-sequence companion with orbital periods up to $\approx 100$ d are often thought to be formed through common envelope evolution which is still poorly understood. To provide new observational constraints on the physical processes involved in the formation of these objects, we are conducting a large-scale survey of close binaries consisting of a white dwarf and an A to K-type companion. Here we present three systems with eccentric orbits and orbital periods between $\approx10-42$ d discovered by our survey. Based on HST spectroscopy and high angular resolution images obtained with SPHERE-IRDIS, we find that two of these systems are most likely triple systems while the remaining one could be either a binary or a hierarchical triple but none of them is a post common envelope binary (PCEB). The discovery of these systems shows that our survey is capable to detect systems with orbital periods of the order of weeks, but all six PCEBs we have previously discovered have periods below 2.5 d. We suggest that the fact that all of the systems we identify with periods of the order of weeks are not PCEBs indicates a transition between two different mechanisms responsible for the formation of very close ($\lesssim 10$ d) and somewhat wider WD+AFGK binaries: common envelope evolution and non-conservative stable mass transfer.

description: We consider the problem of multi-fidelity zeroth-order optimization, where one can evaluate a function $f$ at various approximation levels (of varying costs), and the goal is to optimize $f$ with the cheapest evaluations possible. In this paper, we study certified algorithms, which are additionally required to output a data-driven upper bound on the optimization error. We first formalize the problem in terms of a min-max game between an algorithm and an evaluation environment. We then propose a certified variant of the MFDOO algorithm and derive a bound on its cost complexity for any Lipschitz function $f$. We also prove an $f$-dependent lower bound showing that this algorithm has a near-optimal cost complexity. As a direct example, we close the paper by addressing the special case of noisy (stochastic) evaluations, which corresponds to $\eps$-best arm identification in Lipschitz bandits with continuously many arms.
Match-based solution of general parametric eigenvalue problems

description: We describe a novel algorithm for solving general parametric (nonlinear) eigenvalue problems. Our method has two steps: first, high-accuracy solutions of non-parametric versions of the problem are gathered at some values of the parameters; these are then combined to obtain global approximations of the parametric eigenvalues. To gather the non-parametric data, we use non-intrusive contour-integration-based methods, which, however, cannot track eigenvalues that migrate into/out of the contour as the parameter changes. Special strategies are described for performing the combination-over-parameter step despite having only partial information on such migrating eigenvalues. Moreover, we dedicate a special focus to the approximation of eigenvalues that undergo bifurcations. Finally, we propose an adaptive strategy that allows one to effectively apply our method even without any a priori information on the behavior of the sought-after eigenvalues. Numerical tests are performed, showing that our algorithm can achieve remarkably high approximation accuracy.
