Taming Defects in $\mathcal{N}=4$ Super-Yang-Mills
Creators: name: Wang, Yifan
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study correlation functions involving extended defect operators in the four-dimensional ${\cal N}=4$ super-Yang-Mills (SYM). The main tool is supersymmetric localization with respect to the supercharge $\cal Q$ introduced in \cite{Pestun:2009nn} which computes observables in the $\cal Q$-cohomology. We classify general defects of different codimensions in the ${\cal N}=4$ SYM that belong to the $\cal Q$-cohomology, which form ${1\over 16}$-BPS defect networks. By performing the $\cal Q$-localization of the ${\cal N}=4$ SYM on the four-dimensional hemisphere, we discover a novel defect-Yang-Mills (dYM) theory on a submanifold given by the two-dimensional hemisphere and described by (constrained) two-dimensional Yang-Mills coupled to topological quantum mechanics on the boundary circle. This also generalizes to interface defects in ${\cal N}=4$ SYM by the folding trick. We provide explicit dictionary between defect observables in the SYM and those in the dYM, which enables extraction of general ${1\over 16}$-BPS defect network observables of the SYM from two-dimensional gauge theory and matrix model techniques. Applied to the D5 brane interface in the $SU(N)$ SYM, we explicitly determine a set of defect correlation functions in the large $N$ limit and obtain precise matching with strong coupling results from IIB supergravity on $AdS_5\times S^5$.

KINETICS OF CALCIUM ION FLUXES ASSOCIATED WITH HISTAMINE RELEASE IN THE RAT MAST CELL
Creators: name: McClain, David Edward
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: The involvement of Ca('2+) in secretion is not completely understood. It has been proposed that stimulation leads to an uptake of extracellular Ca('2+) into the cytosol, thus triggering Ca('2+)-sensitive, intracellular processes that lead to exocytosis. In the mast cell, one of the difficulties in testing this hypothesis has been the inability to measure with sufficient precision and accuracy the rapid Ca('2+) movements and histamine secretion that occur after stimulation. This study describes a new method of rapid sampling capable of distinguishing the sequences of histamine release, Ca('2+) uptake, and Ca('2+) efflux in the stimulated mast cell. Measurements of Ca('2+) efflux and histamine release during stimulation show that the two events occur simultaneously. Ca('2+) may therefore be released by the same mechanism that releases histamine from the cell. The bulk of the Ca('2+) uptake from the extracellular medium is shown to occur after histamine release in compound 48/80- and ionophore A23187-stimulated cells. This indicates Ca('2+) uptake is a late event in the secretion process and not the trigger for secretion. Cell-associated calcium pools must therefore provide the Ca('2+) that increases the cytosolic concentration of this ion. The involvement of these calcium pools was probed using the Ca('2+)-chelating agent, EGTA, and the Ca('2+)-binding protein, calmodulin. There are several EGTA-sensitive Ca('2+) pools in the cell, but the identity of these stores remains a mystery. A novel, Ca('2+)-dependent inhibition of histamine release by extracellular calmodulin has been identified, suggesting there are Ca('2+)-binding control sites at or near the outer surface of the plasma membrane. The results presented here are consistent with recent reports that stimulation of membrane-bound phosphatidylinositol metabolism may be the critical event in mast cell stimulation which triggers the release of endogenous stores of Ca('2+) into the cytosol.

description: Applying the recently developed spin-charge gauge theory for the pseudogap phase in cuprates, we propose a self-consistent explanation of several peculiar features of the far-infrared in-plane AC conductivity, including a broad peak as a function of frequency and significant anisotropy at low temperatures, along with a similar temperature-dependent in-plane anisotropy of DC conductivity in lightly doped cuprates. The anisotropy of the metal-insulator crossover scale is considered to be responsible for these phenomena. The obtained results are in good agreement with experiments. An explicit proposal is made to further check the theory.

Fast, Convexified Stochastic Optimal Open-Loop Control For Linear Systems Using Empirical Characteristic Functions

Subjects: subject: Optimization and Control (math.OC)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: We consider the problem of stochastic optimal control in the presence of an unknown disturbance. We characterize the disturbance via empirical characteristic functions, and employ a chance constrained approach. By exploiting properties of characteristic functions and underapproximating cumulative distribution functions, we can reformulate a nonconvex problem by a conic, convex under-approximation. This results in extremely fast solutions that are assured to maintain probabilistic constraints. We construct algorithms for optimal open-loop control using piecewise linear approximations of the empirical characteristic function, and demonstrate our approach on two examples.
CUTBACK MANAGEMENT IN HIGHER EDUCATION
Creators: name: Sibolski, Elizabeth H.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Statement of the Problem. During recent years, cutback management or retrenchment has been a fact of life for American higher education. Through a mail survey and case studies, this research sought a better understanding of how institutions respond to stresses caused in part by difficult economic conditions and declining student pools. Mail Survey of Cutback Management. The major portion of the research involved collection of data on cutback management using a survey of chief business officers at over three hundred institutions in the Northeastern United States. A research framework and hypotheses anticipated that the more severe the resource decline, the more centralized decision making would become, the more active campus groups would become, and the more severe administrative policies would be. Data from the survey failed to produce expected relationships among the variables despite the fact that a representative group of more than seventy percent responded to the survey. The survey did, however, produce descriptions of contemporary management and budget techniques practiced by institutions of higher education. Cutback management in higher education is not a neat process following the rational-comprehensive style of decision making. Neither does cutback management appear to be a short process with a clear ending. Alternative explanations such as the garbage can, political, or incremental models may better describe the process of cutback management in higher education. Case Studies of Turnaround Management. A secondary portion of the research involved six case studies of institutional turnaround at private institutions in the Northeast. These cases were intended to illustrate the process of returning to normal from situations of decline. A business administration model of the turnaround process was used in analyzing case data. Evidence indicated that there are common stages in turnarounds and common keys to success. The process appeared to be lengthy, sometimes taking a decade or more. Furthermore, the process appeared to be a highly individualistic one that focused on unique, marketable aspects of the institutions. Finally, evidence from the case studies provided some support for basic hypotheses from the mail survey. Thus severity of decline experienced seemed related to severity of cutback administrative strategies, for example.

Production Economics

description: In an area where many of the farmers keep accurate financial accounts, economic research, very properly, has commenced with an investig- -ation of these accounts. Research is being done by the Edinburgh College upon two distinct types of agriculture - (a) semi-arable sheep farms in the Border Counties, and (b) arable farming for the production of crops for sale in the Lothians and counties north of the Forth. The present report deals with holdings of the latter type. Some farmers are more successful than others. The object of the investigation is to discover wherein the "goodness" of the "good farmer" lies. Some of the factors in success may be under the farmer's control, for example in a livestock district he may be able to increase the proportion of sheep carried by his holding if sheep prove to be more profitable than cattle. Alternatively a factor may be something the farmer himself cannot change. Thus, if heaviness of soil is a cause of non-success the farmer cannot "by taking thought" alter this, although he may seek a rent reduction or change his farming system. Accordingly, even at a time when, in certain types of arable farming, "successful" men are merely those whose failure is less disastrous than that of their neighbours, no apology is made for the title chosen for the present series of reports.

description: A quantum circuit is generalized to a nonunitary one whose constituents are nonunitary gates operated by quantum measurement. It is shown that a specific type of one-qubit nonunitary gates, the controlled-NOT gate, as well as all one-qubit unitary gates constitute a universal set of gates for the nonunitary quantum circuit, without the necessity of introducing ancilla qubits. A reversing measurement scheme is used to improve the probability of successful nonunitary gate operation. A quantum NAND gate and Abrams-Lloyd's nonlinear gate are analyzed as examples. Our nonunitary circuit can be used to reduce the qubit overhead needed to ensure fault-tolerant quantum computation.

EFFECTS OF EXPERIMENTER SEX AND WARMTH ON LEARNED HELPLESSNESS IN COLLEGE STUDENTS (SEX ROLES)
Creators: name: Wayne, Barbara Hatfield
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This study investigated previous findings that female authority-figure evaluators employed as experimenters in a learned-helplessness procedure produce greater deficits in affect and performance following failure than do similar male experimenters. An additional question asked whether varying the level of interpersonal warmth shown by the experimenter to subjects would affect subjects' performance. It was hypothesized that high warmth would reduce the impact of the helplessness intervention. In particular, it was predicted that the display of high warmth by female experimenters would mitigate the deficits produced in subjects they tested. High interpersonal warmth was proposed to be an operationalization of a feminine, nurturant quality often desired or expected in females. The study employed a 2 x 2 x 2 design, using male versus female experimenters, male versus female subjects, and high-warmth versus low-warmth conditions. Subjects were 96 college students. They were exposed to a learned helplessness manipulation consisting of very difficult anagrams. Dependent measures consisted of performance on easy anagrams, and measures of affect, motivation, and self-efficacy expectancy. Results confirmed that subjects tested by female authority figure experimenters showed greater performance deficits than subjects tested by similar male experimenters. They did not show greater deficits in affect, motivation, or self-efficacy expectancies. Experimenter warmth had a substantial effect on students' response to failure. Students tested under low-warmth conditions showed better performance, but also greater decrements in affect and self-efficacy expectancies, than students tested under high warmth. Differences were also observed between male and female students, with female students performing better following failure than males. Experimenter warmth did not interact with experimenter sex to differentially mitigate deficits produced by female experimenters. Conclusions from the study are that investigators of learned helplessness and similar phenomena must attend to such factors as type of experimenter and the interpersonal situation of the study, especially when attempting to develop generalizations from research. The importance of further investigation of responses to female authority figures is emphasized: This study confirmed the existence of heightened response to failure in persons evaluated by female authority figures, but determined that interpersonal warmth has an independent rather than a mediating effect.

The signal-to-noise analysis of the Little-Hopfield model revisited

description: Using the generating functional analysis an exact recursion relation is derived for the time evolution of the effective local field of the fully connected Little-Hopfield model. It is shown that, by leaving out the feedback correlations arising from earlier times in this effective dynamics, one precisely finds the recursion relations usually employed in the signal-to-noise approach. The consequences of this approximation as well as the physics behind it are discussed. In particular, it is pointed out why it is hard to notice the effects, especially for model parameters corresponding to retrieval. Numerical simulations confirm these findings. The signal-to-noise analysis is then extended to include all correlations, making it a full theory for dynamics at the level of the generating functional analysis. The results are applied to the frequently employed extremely diluted (a)symmetric architectures and to sequence processing networks.

THE THEORY OF LITERARY GENRES IN GEORGE LUKACS (HUNGARY)
Creators: name: Souag, Mostefa
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: In spite of his high reputation among the contemporary intellectual audience, Lukacs' work is still perceived and treated reductively in parts, especially with respect to his literary theory and criticism. Believing that Lukacs' views particularly in this sphere of aesthetic form an evolving whole, this study seeks to construct the most fundamental principles on which he bases his genre theory. This perspective was chosen because, like many critics, I regard genre theory as the formative principle of literary theory as a whole. Mostly through descriptive method, this study exposes and explains the differences that Lukacs directly or indirectly makes between modes (the historically universal categories of the genre system), and genres (the variables that represent the more concrete changes in the historical process as aesthetically reflected in literary forms). Throughout his career, Lukacs established his genre theory on one central category, that of totality. The modes represent the most fundamental types of totality: totality of objects for epic, totality of movement for drama, and totality of the lyrical moment or the subjective for lyric. The genres, on the other hand, are the more concrete forms in which the modes, and thus the totalities, aesthetically objectify themselves. They are, in other words, the aesthetic forms of particular historical moments, such as the epic genre for early Greek society or the novel for the bourgeois society. Although it contains some weaknesses, Lukacs' genre theory does form a whole that is deep, rich, insightful, and very useful in understanding the problems of genre, especially from an historical perspective.

title: Some studies in the disintegration of laminar liquid jets in immiscible binary liquid systems
Creators: name: Khan, Shuaib Ahmad
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1984

description: The breakup of a liquid jet in an immiscible liquid has been investigated. The variation in the jet break-up length was studied to determine the influence of various parameters e.g. amplitude and frequency of the applied vibrations. To generate experimental data a rig was designed and constructed. To maintain a constant flow of the dispersed phase through the nozzle, a number of techniques were tried. A compressed air system was found to be the most suitable to develop a constant head for the flow and no variation in the flow of a dispersed phase was observed after 12 hours. Initially experiments were conducted at a high flow rate of the dispersed phase and the variation in the jet length was measured under the influence of externally applied vibrations. It was found that amplitude and frequency of the applied vibration influenced the jet break-up length. Rayleigh's equation was applied to correlate the experimental data. It was found that the applied frequency does not effect the growth rate but it does influence the jet break-up length. Hence Rayleigh's equation was modified to allow for this variation. The error between experimental and predicted results was found to be not more than the difference in the dropsizes. To eliminate this error, the measurement technique previously employed ( still photography ) was supplemented with a video technique and the jet length measurements were only taken when monosized droplets were produced. At low flow rates it was found easier to produce monosized droplets, hence subsequent measurements were taken in this flow region. To correlate experimental data Rayleigh's equation was further modified to take into account the influence of a natural and an applied vibration. Theoretical and experimental results agree well within the range of error + 0.30 mm. It was found that the number of monosized droplets produced were equal to the applied frequency. Any change in the frequency altered the dropsize because the flow rate was constant.

description: A weakly nonlocal extension of ideal fluid dynamics is derived from the Second Law of thermodynamics. It is proved that in the reversible limit the additional pressure term can be derived from a potential. The requirement of the additivity of the specific entropy function determines the quantum potential uniquely. The relation to other known derivations of Schrödinger equation (stochastic, Fisher information, exact uncertainty) is clarified.

title: Some topics in the analysis of spherical data.
Creators: name: Wood, Andrew T.A.
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1985

description: This thesis is concerned with the statistical analysis of directions in 3 dimensions. An important reference is the book by Mardia (1972). At the time of publication of this book, the repertoire of spherical distributions used for modelling purposes was rather limited, and there was clearly a need to investigate other possibilities. In the last few years there has been some interest in the 8 parameter family of distributions mentioned by Mardia (1975), which is known as the Fisher-Bingham family. In Chapter 1 an outline of the thesis is given. The Fisher-Bingham family is discussed in Chapter 2, and an effective method for calculating the normalising constant is presented. Attention is then focussed on an interesting 6 parameter subfamily, and a simple rule is given for classifying the distributions in this subfamily according to type (unimodal, bimodal, ’closed curve'). Estimation and inference are then discussed, and the Chapter is concluded with a numerical example. In Chapter 3, the family of bimodal distributions presented in Wood (1982) is described. Other bimodal models are also mentioned briefly. The problem of simulating Fisher-Bingham distributions is considered in Chapter 4. Some inequalities are derived and then used to construct suitable envelopes so that an acceptance-rejection procedure can be used. In Chapter 5, the robust estimation of concentration for a Fisher distribution is considered, and L-estimators of the type suggested by Fisher (1982) are investigated. It is shown that the best of these estimators have desirable all-round properties. Indications are also given as to how these ideas can be adapted to other contexts. Possibilities for further research are mentioned in Chapter 6.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: We study the characteristics of the quantum state of light produced by a conditional preparation protocol totally performed in the continuous variable regime. It relies on conditional measurements on quantum intensity correlated bright twin beams emitted by a non-degenerate OPO above threshold. Analytical expressions as well as computer simulations of the selected state properties and preparation efficiency are developed and show that a sub-Poissonian state can be produced by this technique. Projection onto a given trigger value is studied and then extended to a finite band. The continuous variable regime offers the unique possibility to improve dramatically the preparation efficiency by choosing multiple selection bands and thus to generate a great number of sub-Poissonian states in parallel.

description: Being a wide band gap system GaMnN attracted considerable interest after the discovery of highest reported ferromagnetic transition temperature $T_C$ $\sim$ 940 K among all diluted magnetic semiconductors. Later it become a debate due to the observation of either a ferromagnetic state with very low $T_C$ $\sim$ 8 K or sometimes no ferromagnetic state at all. We address these issues by calculating the ferromagnetic window, $T_C$ Vs $p$, within a $t-t'$ Kondo lattice model using a spin-fermion Monte-Carlo method on a simple cubic lattice. We exploit the next-nearest-neighbor hopping $t'$ to tune the degree of delocalization of the free carriers and show that carrier localization (delocalization) significantly widen (shrunken) the ferromagnetic window with a reduction (enhancement) of the optimum $T_C$. We connect our results with the experimental findings and try to understand the ambiguities in ferromagnetism in GaMnN.

description: The dynamic geometry of the family of 3-periodics in the Elliptic Billiard is mystifying. Besides conserving perimeter and the ratio of inradius-to-circumradius, it has a stationary point. Furthermore, its triangle centers sweep out mesmerizing loci including ellipses, quartics, circles, and a slew of other more complex curves. Here we explore a bevy of new phenomena relating to (i) the shape of 3-periodics and (ii) the kinematics of certain Triangle Centers constrained to the Billiard boundary, specifically the non-monotonic motion some can display with respect to 3-periodics. Hypnotizing is the joint motion of two such non-monotonic Centers, whose many stops-and-gos are akin to a Ballet.

THE RELEVANCE OF A SECONDARY MORTGAGE MARKET INSTITUTION TO JAMAICA

description: This study investigates the creation and early development of the Jamaica Mortgage Bank and its impact on the mortgage market in Jamaica. Established in 1971 as a predominantly secondary mortgage market institution and modeled after the Federal National Mortgage Association in Washington, D.C., USA, the bank was expected to play a major role in the growth and development of the mortgage market in Jamaica, its main objectives being to increase the liquidity of mortgage-lending institutions, attract new investors into the mortgage market, and promote and develop an active mortgage market. It was hypothesized that the introduction of the Jamaica Mortgage Bank did not significantly affect the number of mortgage contracts and the behavior of mortgage institutions in Jamaica. Because of the relatively narrow empirical base with which the study was conducted, it became necessary to combine cross-section and time series data in the analysis. This was supplemented by a questionnaire to corporate managers of mortgage institutions regarding their reactions to the bank's policies in instituting changes in mortgage practices in Jamaica. It was found that the Jamaica Mortgage Bank has been less than successful in its efforts to significantly improve the liquidity of mortgage institutions and to expand the amount of funds to mortgage-originating institutions. It was also observed that the bank had only limited success in recycling funds in the mortgage market through its sales program. Further, the bank failed to develop a mortgage instrument to attract local savings from individual and institutional investors. From the results of the questionnaire, there appears to be a general consensus that the bank has been instrumental in instituting changes in mortgage practices in Jamaica, namely in the areas of mortgage credit underwriting, accounting practices and procedures, loan amortization, the marketability and transferability of the mortgage instrument, and low-income housing developments. This study provides a striking empirical test of the transferability of a modern capital market institution to the developing world. It demonstrates the opportunities and dangers inherent in the choice of a secondary mortgage market institution as an alternative in meeting housing and finance requirements in the developing world.
The Unexpected Role of Final State Interactions in Deep Inelastic Scattering

description: Rescattering of the struck quark in Deep Inelastic Scattering implies that measured parton distributions are not directly related to the Fock state probabilities of the target wave function. The production amplitudes acquire dynamical phases, which gives rise to shadowing and diffraction in DIS. I review the kinematics and dynamics of DIS as seen in various frames and gauges.

New Genuine Multipartite Entanglement

description: The quantum entanglement as one of very important resources has been widely used in quantum information processing. In this work, we present a new kind of genuine multipartite entanglement. It is derived from special geometric feature of entangled systems compared with quantum multisource networks. We prove that any symmetric entangled pure state shows stronger nonlocality than the genuinely multipartite nonlocality in the biseparable model. Similar results hold for other entangled pure states with local dimensions no larger than $3$. We further provide computational conditions for witnessing the new nonlocality of noisy states. These results suggest that the present model is useful characterizing a new kind of generic quantum entanglement.

description: The high energy limit of scattering amplitudes in the N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory is studied by solving the corresponding BFKL equation in the next-to-leading approximation. The gluon Green's function is analysed using a newly proposed method suitable for investigating the contribution from higher conformal spins. From this new approach complete agreement is obtained with the results of Kotikov and Lipatov on conformal spins and angular dependence.
