description: We analyze the inverse problem of Density Functional Theory using a regularized variational method. First, we show that given $k$ and a target density $ρ$, there exist potentials having $k^{\text{th}}$ bound mixed states which densities are arbitrarily close to $ρ$. The state can be chosen pure in dimension $d=1$ and without interactions, and we provide numerical and theoretical evidence consistently leading us to conjecture that the same pure representability result holds for $d=2$, but that the set of pure-state $v$-representable densities is not dense for $d=3$. Finally, we present an inversion algorithm taking into account degeneracies, removing the generic blocking behavior of standard ones.

description: In theoretical machine learning, the statistical complexity is a notion that measures the richness of a hypothesis space. In this work, we apply a particular measure of statistical complexity, namely the Rademacher complexity, to the quantum circuit model in quantum computation and study how the statistical complexity depends on various quantum circuit parameters. In particular, we investigate the dependence of the statistical complexity on the resources, depth, width, and the number of input and output registers of a quantum circuit. To study how the statistical complexity scales with resources in the circuit, we introduce a resource measure of magic based on the $(p,q)$ group norm, which quantifies the amount of magic in the quantum channels associated with the circuit. These dependencies are investigated in the following two settings: (i) where the entire quantum circuit is treated as a single quantum channel, and (ii) where each layer of the quantum circuit is treated as a separate quantum channel. The bounds we obtain can be used to constrain the capacity of quantum neural networks in terms of their depths and widths as well as the resources in the network.

Three essays on the impacts of sanctuary policies in the United States
Creators: name: Blizzard, Brittany
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: In the last decade, 11 states and the District of Columbia implemented sanctuary policies to provide protection for immigrants residing in their jurisdictions while others have adopted prohibitions against sanctuary. This dissertation explores how sanctuary policies at the state level affect multiple aspects of life for immigrants to the United States, their children, and their surrounding communities. In the first essay, I address the central question of whether sanctuary policy protections induce an inflow of immigrants to states with pro-sanctuary policies. Results from this study demonstrate that sanctuary policy adoption attracts immigrant movers, and the effects increases over time. In my second essay, my co-author Jocelyn Johnston and I take a mixed methods approach to examining why and how in some anti-sanctuary states certain counties are fighting back against state legislation in order to protect their local immigrant communities. Results show that an increasing percentage of local employment in sectors that traditionally employ immigrants in conjunction with a larger Hispanic population make counties more likely to deviate from state policy. Lastly, I examine the relationship between sanctuary policies and immigrant population health. This investigation presents new evidence that sanctuary policies affect health outcomes among immigrants, particularly in terms of access to health care. Showing the most significant improvements among the more vulnerable groups, effects are heterogeneous across immigrant groups. These three papers pose questions about why state and local jurisdictions break from the status quo to protect immigrants and what happens when they do. Immigration policies affect not only migration outcomes, but they also impact state and local economies and health outcomes, among others, because of the direct impact that immigration policies have on the number and type of people who live in an area.

description: A flat sheet programmed with a planar pattern of spontaneous shape change will morph into a curved surface. Such metric mechanics is seen in growing biological sheets, and may be engineered in actuating soft matter sheets such as phase-changing liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs), swelling gels and inflating baromorphs. Here, we show how to combine multiple patterns in a sheet by stitching regions of different shape changes together piecewise along interfaces. This approach allows simple patterns to be used as building blocks, and enables the design of multi-material or active/passive sheets. We give a general condition for an interface to be geometrically compatible, and explore its consequences for LCE/LCE, gel/gel, and active/passive interfaces. In contraction/elongation systems such as LCEs, we find an infinite set of compatible interfaces between any pair of patterns along which the metric is discontinuous, and a finite number across which the metric is continuous. As an example, we find all possible interfaces between pairs of LCE logarithmic spiral patterns. In contrast, in isotropic systems such as swelling gels, only a finite number of continuous interfaces are available, greatly limiting the potential of stitching. In both continuous and discontinuous cases, we find the stitched interfaces generically carry singular Gaussian curvature, leading to intrinsically curved folds in the actuated surface. We give a general expression for the distribution of this curvature, and a more specialized form for interfaces in LCE patterns. The interfaces thus also have rich geometric and mechanical properties in their own right.

Local Well-posedness and Incompressible Limit of the Free-Boundary Problem in Compressible Elastodynamics
Creators: name: Zhang, Junyan
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Analysis of PDEs (math.AP)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: We consider 3D free-boundary compressible elastodynamic system under the Rayleigh-Taylor sign condition. It describes the motion of an isentropic inviscid elastic medium with moving boundary. The deformation tensor satisfies the neo-Hookean linear elasticity. The local well-posedness was proved by Trakhinin [84] by Nash-Moser iteration. In this paper, we give a new proof of the local well-posedness by the combination of classical energy method and hyperbolic approach and also establish the incompressible limit. We apply the tangential smoothing method to define the approximation system. The key observation is that the structure of the wave equation of pressure together with Christodoulou-Lindblad elliptic estimates reduces the energy estimates to the control of tangentially-differentiated wave equations in spite of a potential loss of derivative in the source term. We first establish the nonlinear energy estimate without loss of regularity for the free-boundary compressible elastodynamic system. The energy estimate is also uniform in sound speed which yields the incompressible limit. It is worth emphasizing that our method is completely applicable to compressible Euler equations. Our observation also shows that it is not necessary to include the full time derivatives in boundary energy and analyze higher order wave equations as in the previous works of compressible Euler equations (cf. Lindblad-Luo [59] and Luo [61]) even if we require the energy is uniform in sound speed. Moreover, the enhanced regularity for compressible Euler equations obtained in [59,61] can still be recovered for a slightly compressible elastic medium by further delicate analysis which is completely different from Euler equations.

Nonlinear reconstruction of features in the primordial power spectrum from large-scale structure

description: Potential features in the primordial power spectrum have been searched for in galaxy surveys in recent years since these features can assist in understanding the nature of inflation. The null detection to date suggests that any such features should be fairly weak, and next-generation galaxy surveys, with their unprecedented sizes and precisions, are in a position to place stronger constraints than before. However, even if such primordial features once existed in the early Universe, they would have been significantly damped in the nonlinear regime at low redshift due to structure formation, which makes them difficult to be directly detected in real observations. A potential way to tackle this challenge for probing the features is to undo the cosmological evolution, i.e., using reconstruction to obtain an approximate linear density field. By employing a set of N-body simulations, here we show that a recently-proposed nonlinear reconstruction algorithm can effectively retrieve damped oscillatory features from halo catalogues and improve the accuracy of the measurement of feature parameters (assuming that such primordial features do exist). We do a Fisher analysis to forecast how nonlinear reconstruction affects the constraining power, and find that it can lead to significantly more robust constraints on the feature amplitude for a DESI-like survey. Comparing nonlinear reconstruction with other ways of improving constraints, such as increasing the survey volume and range of scales, this shows that it is possible to achieve what the latter do, but at a lower cost.

Crackdowns and coalitions: The relationship between social movement structure and survival
Creators: name: Chesterton, Hannah P.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023
Subjects: classificationCode: 441004
subject: Social change

description: Using mixed methods, I study the relationship between a social movement’s organizational structure and how it survives diverse repression, which is the state’s efforts to hinder or eliminate collective action. Following the introduction, the second chapter proposes an integrated framework and applies it to Ukraine’s 2013-2014 Maidan movement. Drawing on resource mobilization theory (RMT) and Chenoweth and Stephan’s research on tactical choice, I argue that decentralized leadership and networks are mobilizing structures that are vital for a movement’s survival in the face of repression. The third chapter examines the relationship between organizational structure, repression severity, and survival, and it addresses several major gaps in the literature. The findings show that maximalist movements with high levels of factional conflict are more likely to survive than unified movements and that the risk of being suppressed is constant over the lifespan of a movement. In the final study, I conduct qualitative case studies of two non-maximalist movements, which were targeted by the FBI’s covert counterintelligence program. The case study findings suggest that factionalism with cooperation is vital for survival. In all, the findings suggest that organizational structure is central to the repression-survival story, but the relationships are complex and context-specific.

description: This study examined the farmer’s perception on climate change and adaptation strategies to mitigate the adverse effect of climate change in the agricultural sector of Gujarat. It used farm level information of 400 farmers who were purposely selected from 8 districts. Thereupon, linear, non-linear and log-linear production function models were used to examine the impact of climate change, farmer’s adaptation strategies and technological change on agricultural production in Gujarat. The descriptive and empirical results specify that adaptation strategies (i.e., change in showing time of crops, mixed cropping pattern, irrigation facilities, application of green and organic fertilizer, hybrid varieties of seeds, dampening of seed before planting, climate tolerate crops, organic farming and technology) have a positive impact on agricultural production. Thus, farmer’s adaptation strategies are useful to mitigate the negative impact of climate change in the agricultural sector. Maximum temperature and minimum temperature, precipitation and rainfall have a negative impact on agricultural production. However, the impact of these factors seemed positive in the agricultural sector when farmers apply aforementioned adaptation strategies in cultivation. Family size, education level of farmers, annual income of farmers, arable land, irrigated area, cost of technology, appropriate technology and financial support from government have a positive contribution to increase agricultural production in Gujarat.

description: Die vorliegende Diplomarbeit beschäftigt sich mit den sozialen und wirtschaftlichen Entwicklungen der Osttiroler Bergbauern in den letzten 50 Jahren. Die Arbeit besteht aus einer authentischen Darstellung, welche einen realistischen Blick auf die Welt der Osttiroler Bergbauern geben soll. Darum werden narrative Interviews durchgeführt und anhand der qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse von Philipp Mayring ausgewertet werden. Zu Beginn der Arbeit wird die Methode der Interviews vorgestellt, ehe die wichtigsten Begriffe definiert werden und eine Einführung in den geschichtlichen Hintergrund der Bauern in Österreich, Tirol und Osttirol folgt. Im weiteren Verlauf werden Hintergrundinformationen zu den Interviewpartnern vorgestellt. Anschließend beginnt der interviewbasierte Teil der Diplomarbeit. Hierbei werden die Wirtschafts- und Sozialaspekte mithilfe von Literatur erläutert und mit den Gedanken der Interviewpartner untermauert. Im Kapitel der Wirtschaftsaspekte werden Themen wie etwa die Technologisierung, die Richtlinien der EU, die Erwerbsform und die Arbeitsteilung bearbeitet. Die Dorfgemeinschaft, der Haushalt und die Hofübergabe werden beim Paragrafen der Sozialaspekte bearbeitet. Durch die Erfahrungen der Befragten können die Leser an den Empfindungen der Bauern teilnehmen. Insgesamt wurden sechs Familien interviewt, welche aus verschiedenen Ortschaften Osttirols stammen. Es ist zu beachten, dass jeder Interviewpartner andere Ansichten vertritt und somit andere Erfahrungen preisgibt. Denn es handelt sich bei Bergbauern um keine homogene Gruppe von Menschen, sondern um einzelne Individuen mit eigenen Meinungen.
Persuaded by the polls? Voter responses to election polling information
Creators: name: Heseltine, Michael James
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Since the advent of election polling, scholars, practitioners, and public observers alike have long debated the potentially troubling normative effects of these polls, and election forecasts more generally, on voter behavior and, ultimately, on the outcomes of the elections that these polls ostensibly seek to forecast. While the debate remains ongoing, the contemporary media landscape has rapidly shifted in the era of cable news and online media outlets, with political polling and election predictions taking a central role in the ways in which an increasingly diverse media chooses to cover elections. Subsequently, modern statistical techniques and elections polling have combined to broaden both the supply and demand of polling-centered media, drastically changing the ways in which both the public and media interacts with political polling. Subsequently, this dissertation offers an in-depth exploration of the relationship between exposure to election polling and individual-level electoral behavior. Comprising three interrelated areas of research, this work 1) tests how polling exposure influences individual voter behavior across a range of electoral contexts, 2) examines how political donation behavior is driven by political polling and, 3) evaluates how voter perceptions of candidate characteristics are shaped by horserace polling results. In evaluating these three related areas, this dissertation will offer a broad examination of polling effects, beyond mere conventional voting behavior, while offering contemporary evidence about the role and effects of election polling and forecasting in the modern media environment.

description: Since the advent of election polling, scholars, practitioners, and public observers alike have long debated the potentially troubling normative effects of these polls, and election forecasts more generally, on voter behavior and, ultimately, on the outcomes of the elections that these polls ostensibly seek to forecast. While the debate remains ongoing, the contemporary media landscape has rapidly shifted in the era of cable news and online media outlets, with political polling and election predictions taking a central role in the ways in which an increasingly diverse media chooses to cover elections. Subsequently, modern statistical techniques and elections polling have combined to broaden both the supply and demand of polling-centered media, drastically changing the ways in which both the public and media interacts with political polling. Subsequently, this dissertation offers an in-depth exploration of the relationship between exposure to election polling and individual-level electoral behavior. Comprising three interrelated areas of research, this work 1) tests how polling exposure influences individual voter behavior across a range of electoral contexts, 2) examines how political donation behavior is driven by political polling and, 3) evaluates how voter perceptions of candidate characteristics are shaped by horserace polling results. In evaluating these three related areas, this dissertation will offer a broad examination of polling effects, beyond mere conventional voting behavior, while offering contemporary evidence about the role and effects of election polling and forecasting in the modern media environment.

description: This letter presents a method to reduce the computational demands of including second-order dynamics sensitivity information into the Differential Dynamic Programming (DDP) trajectory optimization algorithm. An approach to DDP is developed where all the necessary derivatives are computed with the same complexity as in the iterative Linear Quadratic Regulator (iLQR). Compared to linearized models used in iLQR, DDP more accurately represents the dynamics locally, but it is not often used since the second-order derivatives of the dynamics are tensorial and expensive to compute. This work shows how to avoid the need for computing the derivative tensor by instead leveraging reverse-mode accumulation of derivative information to compute a key vector-tensor product directly. We also show how the structure of the dynamics can be used to further accelerate these computations in rigid-body systems. Benchmarks of this approach for trajectory optimization with multi-link manipulators show that the benefits of DDP can often be included without sacrificing evaluation time, and can be done in fewer iterations than iLQR.

Formerly incarcerated women's reentry, employment, and “rehabilitation”

description: This dissertation fills critical gaps in the literature on women’s reentry with three studies. The first study examines the reentry and job-seeking experiences of formerly incarcerated women who began living at a halfway house during the COVID-19 pandemic. I interviewed women multiple times during their stay and after they left the halfway house. I found that women used various coping techniques to navigate challenges brought on by the pandemic. These coping techniques are categorized as flight, fight, and freeze. The second study is an experimental correspondence audit study using resumes of fictitious formerly incarcerated women seeking employment after incarceration. I applied for entry-level jobs in Prince William County, Virginia and varied resumes by applicant race, conviction status, and the presence or absence of a desistance signal in the form of a career readiness and job skills certificate. Results show no statistically significant differences in employer callback rates between black and white applicants, applicants with and without a criminal record, and applicants with and without a desistance signal. The third study examines the meaning of “rehabilitation” from the perspectives of the women interviewed in the first study. During their interviews, women were asked: “In your opinion, what does it mean to be rehabilitated?” Three conceptualizations of rehabilitation emerged from their answers: living responsibly, actively engaging in an ongoing coping process, and self-actualization. All three studies contribute to the literature by examining the reentry and job seeking experiences of formerly incarcerated women, providing insight into the job search process by applying to jobs formerly incarcerated women would typically seek upon release from custody, and allowing formerly incarcerated women to define “rehabilitation” for themselves.

description: A general framework for the study of regular variation (RV) is that of Polish star-shaped metric spaces, while recent developments in [1] have discussed RV with respect to some properly localised boundedness $\mathcal{B}$ imposing weak assumptions on the structure of Polish space. Along the lines of the latter approach, we discuss the RV of Borel measures and random processes on general Polish metric spaces. Tail measures introduced in [2] appear naturally as limiting measures of regularly varying time series. We define tail measures on a measurable space indexed by $\mathcal{H}(D)$, a countable family of homogeneous coordinate maps, and show some tractable instances for the investigation of RV when $\mathcal{B}$ is determined by $\mathcal{H}(D)$. This allows us to study the regular variation of cadlag processes on $D(R^l, R^d)$ retrieving in particular results obtained in [1] for RV of stationary cadlag processes on the real line removing $l=1$ therein. Further, we discuss potential applications and open questions.
