Quartic quantum theory: an extension of the standard quantum mechanics
Creators: name: Zyczkowski, Karol
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We propose an extended quantum theory, in which the number K of parameters necessary to characterize a quantum state behaves as fourth power of the number N of distinguishable states. As the simplex of classical N-point probability distributions can be embedded inside a higher dimensional convex body of mixed quantum states, one can further increase the dimensionality constructing the set of extended quantum states. The embedding proposed corresponds to an assumption that the physical system described in N dimensional Hilbert space is coupled with an auxiliary subsystem of the same dimensionality. The extended theory works for simple quantum systems and is shown to be a non-trivial generalisation of the standard quantum theory for which K=N^2. Imposing certain restrictions on initial conditions and dynamics allowed in the quartic theory one obtains quadratic theory as a special case. By imposing even stronger constraints one arrives at the classical theory, for which K=N.

description: We analyze the influence of religious social norms on corporate greenwashing behavior. Specifically, we focus on a specific form of greenwashing: selective disclosure. Using a large sample of US firms between 2005 and 2019, we show that firms located in counties where religious adherence is high are less likely to engage in greenwashing. We also find that a stronger religious adherence within the county in which a company is located reduces the magnitude of greenwashing, when observed. We further analyze the mechanism underlying this relationship and show that religious adherence impacts greenwashing behaviors through the channel of risk aversion. A comprehensive set of robustness tests aimed at addressing potential endogeneity concerns confirms that religion is a relevant driver of corporate greenwashing behavior.

description: The Space Interferometry Mission PlanetQuest Light (or SIM-Lite) is a new concept for a space borne astrometric instrument, to be located in a solar Earth-trailing orbit. SIM-Lite utilizes technology developed over the past ten years for the SIM mission. The instrument consists of two Michelson stellar interferometers and a precision telescope. The first interferometer chops between the target star and a set of Reference stars. The second interferometer monitors the attitude of the instrument in the direction of the target star. The telescope monitors the attitude of the instrument in the other two directions. SIM-Lite will be capable of one micro-arc-second narrow angle astrometry on magnitude 6 or brighter stars, relative to magnitude 9 Reference stars in a two degree field. During the 5 year mission, SIM-Lite would search 65 nearby stars for planets of masses down to one Earth mass, in the Habitable Zone, which have orbit periods of less than 3 years. SIM-Lite will also perform global astrometry on a variety of astrophysics objects, reaching 4.5 micro-arc-seconds absolute position and parallax measurements. As a pointed instrument, SIM-Lite will be capable of achieving 8 micro-arc-second astrometric accuracy on 19th visual magnitude objects and 15 micro-arc-second astrometric accuracy on 20th visual magnitude objects after 100 hours of integration. This paper will describe the instrument, how it will do its astrometric measurements and the expected performance based on the current technology.

description: We investigate electronic transport through II-VI semiconductor resonant tunneling structures containing diluted magnetic impurities. Due to the exchange interaction between the conduction electrons and the impurities, there arises a giant Zeeman splitting in the presence of a moderately low magnetic field. As a consequence, when the quantum well is magnetically doped the current-voltage characteristics shows two peaks corresponding to transport for each spin channel. This behavior is experimentally observed and can be reproduced with a simple tunneling model. The model thus allows to analyze other configurations. First, we further increase the magnetic field, which leads to a spin polarization of the electronic current injected from the leads, thus giving rise to a relative change in the current amplitude. We demonstrate that the spin polarization in the emitter can be determined from such a change. Furthermore, in the case of a magnetically doped injector our model shows a large increase in peak amplitude and a shift of the resonance to higher voltages as the external field increases. We find that this effect arises from a combination of giant Zeeman splitting, 3-D incident distribution and broad resonance linewidth.

description: We study compactifications of type IIA string theory on Calabi-Yau manifolds that are mirror to a subset of the type IIB LARGE-volume models. A combination of flux, alpha' corrections and non-perturbative effects stabilises the moduli in a non-supersymmetric AdS vacuum. This vacuum has the feature that the (ten-dimensional) string coupling is exponentially small which can naturally lead to a TeV supersymmetry breaking scale with an intermediate string scale. The AdS vacuum can be uplifted to a dS one through the introduction of D6 branes, and complex-structure modular inflation can be realised.

description: Conformational sampling of biomolecules using molecular dynamics simulations often produces large amount of high dimensional data that makes it difficult to interpret using conventional analysis techniques. Dimensionality reduction methods are thus required to extract useful and relevant information. Here we devise a machine learning method, Gaussian mixture variational autoencoder (GMVAE) that can simultaneously perform dimensionality reduction and clustering of biomolecular conformations in an unsupervised way. We show that GMVAE can learn a reduced representation of the free energy landscape of protein folding with highly separated clusters that correspond to the metastable states during folding. Since GMVAE uses a mixture of Gaussians as the prior, it can directly acknowledge the multi-basin nature of protein folding free-energy landscape. To make the model end-to-end differentialble, we use a Gumbel-softmax distribution. We test the model on three long-timescale protein folding trajectories and show that GMVAE embedding resembles the folding funnel with folded states down the funnel and unfolded states outer in the funnel path. Additionally, we show that the latent space of GMVAE can be used for kinetic analysis and Markov state models built on this embedding produce folding and unfolding timescales that are in close agreement with other rigorous dynamical embeddings such as time independent component analysis (TICA).

description: We study the density structures of dark matter subhalos for both cold dark matter and self-interacting dark matter models using high-resolution cosmological $N$-body simulations. We quantify subhalo's central density at 150 pc from the center of each subhalo at the classical dwarf spheroidal and ultrafaint dwarf scales found in Milky-Way sized halos. By comparing them with observations, we find that the self-interacting scattering cross-section of $σ/m<3\ \rm{cm^{2}g^{-1}}$ is favored. Due to the combination of hosts' tide and self-interactions, the central density of subhalos with small pericenter shows a noticeable difference between the cold and the self-interacting models, indicating that Milky-Way satellites with small pericenter are ideal sites to further constrain the nature of dark matter by future large spectroscopic surveys.

description: In this article we present a method for formally proving the correctness of the lazy algorithms for computing homographic and quadratic transformations -- of which field operations are special cases-- on a representation of real numbers by coinductive streams. The algorithms work on coinductive stream of Möbius maps and form the basis of the Edalat--Potts exact real arithmetic. We use the machinery of the Coq proof assistant for the coinductive types to present the formalisation. The formalised algorithms are only partially productive, i.e., they do not output provably infinite streams for all possible inputs. We show how to deal with this partiality in the presence of syntactic restrictions posed by the constructive type theory of Coq. Furthermore we show that the type theoretic techniques that we develop are compatible with the semantics of the algorithms as continuous maps on real numbers. The resulting Coq formalisation is available for public download.

description: Near-IR and X-ray flares have been detected from the supermassive black hole Sgr A* at the center of our Galaxy with a (quasi)-period of ~17-20 minutes, suggesting an emission region only a few Schwarzschild radii above the event horizon. The latest X-ray flare, detected with XMM-Newton, is notable for its detailed lightcurve, yielding not only the highest quality period thus far, but also important structure reflecting the geometry of the emitting region. Recent MHD simulations of Sgr A*'s disk have demonstrated the growth of a Rossby wave instability, that enhances the accretion rate for several hours, possibly accounting for the observed flares. In this Letter, we carry out ray-tracing calculations in a Schwarzschild metric to determine as accurately as possible the lightcurve produced by general relativistic effects during such a disruption. We find that the Rossby wave induced spiral pattern in the disk is an excellent fit to the data, implying a disk inclination angle of ~77 deg. Note, however, that if this association is correct, the observed period is not due to the underlying Keplerian motion but, rather, to the pattern speed. The favorable comparison between the observed and simulated lightcurves provides important additional evidence that the flares are produced in Sgr A*'s inner disk.

The focus is on Denjoy-Carleman classes for which we develop the theory from scratch and discuss important related concepts such as (non-)quasianalyticity. It allows us to give an efficient and, to a fair extent, elementary introduction to Braun-Meise-Taylor classes based on their representation as intersections and unions of Denjoy-Carleman classes.

Actual and perceived mood fluctuations : a comparison of menstrual, weekday, and lunar cycles
Creators: name: McFarlane, Jessica
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The major purpose of the study was to examine mood fluctuations associated with phases of the menstrual cycle. To assess the relative impact of the menstrual cycle on moods, other cycles hypothesized to influence moods also were assessed. Mood fluctuations in women and men were studied both prospectively and retrospectively to determine whether cyclic changes occur with the phases of the menstrual cycle, lunar cycle, and/or days of the week. Each participant (15 women using oral contraceptives, 12 normally cycling women, and 15 men) recorded their moods daily for 70 days (prospective data). A daily mean score was obtained for both pleasantness and arousal (each on a 9-point positive to negative scale). Mood stability/variability was recorded daily on a 4-point scale. At the end of the study, participants recalled (retrospective data) their mood over the previous 2 months for each day of the week and the phases of their menstrual cycle (women only). The focus on menstrual cycles was sucessfully camouflaged. Prospectively, there were no group differences and no menstrually-related mood fluctuations. The retrospective reports, however, indicated systematic bias. Women recalled more positive moods in the follicular phase and more negative moods in the premenstrual and menstrual phases than they had reported prospectively. All groups reported weekday mood changes — Monday lows and Friday/Saturday highs. Recollections of weekday mood fluctuations were similar to but more exaggerated than prospective reports. Prospective reports revealed no mood fluctuations over the lunar cycle. Together, these results indicate that stereotypes (both well- and ill-founded) influence recollections of mood, and are consistent with schematic processing theories. The importance for menstrual cycle research of obtaining information about positive as well as negative experiences, camouflaging the purpose of the study, collecting prospective data, and assessing results in the contexts of other cycles also is discussed.

description: We investigate the time-dependent variations of ultraviolet (UV) black hole mass estimates of quasars in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). From SDSS spectra of 615 high-redshift (1.69 < z < 4.75) quasars with spectra from two epochs, we estimate black hole masses, using a single-epoch technique which employs an additional, automated night-sky-line removal, and relies on UV continuum luminosity and CIV (1549A) emission line dispersion. Mass estimates show variations between epochs at about the 30% level for the sample as a whole. We determine that, for our full sample, measurement error in the line dispersion likely plays a larger role than the inherent variability, in terms of contributing to variations in mass estimates between epochs. However, we use the variations in quasars with r-band spectral signal-to-noise ratio greater than 15 to estimate that the contribution to these variations from inherent variability is roughly 20%. We conclude that these differences in black hole mass estimates between epochs indicate variability is not a large contributer to the current factor of two scatter between mass estimates derived from low- and high-ionization emission lines.

description: A double-quantum-dot coupled to electrodes with spin-dependent splitting of chemical potentials (spin bias) is investigated theoretically by means of the Green's functions formalism. By applying a large spin bias, the quantum spin in a quantum dot (the dot 1) can be manipulated in a fully electrical manner. To noninvasively monitor the manipulation of the quantum spin in the dot 1, it is proposed that the second quantum dot (the dot 2) is weakly coupled to the dot 1. In the presence of the exchange interaction between the two dots, the polarized spin in the dot 1 behaves like an effective magnetic field and weakly polarizes the spin in the nearby quantum dot 2. By applying a very small spin bias to the dot 2, the spin-dependent transport through the dot 2 can be probed, allowing the spin polarization in the dot 1 to be identified nondestructively. These two steps form a complete scheme to manipulate a trapped spin while permitting this manipulation to be monitored in the double-dot system using pure electric approaches.

description: Salamandrina is the only extant representative of the Salamandrininae, characterised by a unique suite of morphological, ecological, and ethological features. The Salamandrina species are endemic of Italy, although their past distribution included different areas of Europe. Fossil remains belonging to this genus were previously described from the Miocene of Hungary, Mio-Pliocene transition of Greece, and Pliocene of Sardinia. The fossil record of this genus is herein expanded, with detailed descriptions of pre-caudal and caudal vertebrae from the Miocene of Germany (Petersbuch), Greece (Ano Metochi), Sardinia (Oschiri), and Spain (La Gloria, La Roma, Masada Ruea, Puente Minero), and the Pleistocene of Italy (Montagnola Senese). Otic-occipitum complexes and limb elements referred to Salamandrina are also described from the Miocene of La Roma (Spain). All these remains are referred to Salamandrina sp., given that identification at the species level of the retrieved skeletal elements is not possible. Nevertheless, the fossil record clearly indicates that the current range of this genus is the result of a prolonged extirpation process that ultimately led to the significant shrinkage of the original range or, at least apparently, to a late dispersal into the Italian Peninsula.

description: We report theropod caudal vertebrae found at Phu Wiang Mountain, Thailand. They resemble the Portuguese Baryonyx and pertain to the Spinosauridae based on the presence of striations on the surface of the transverse process of the caudals, well developed double keels and a deep ventral groove on the centra, two laminae, delimiting three fossae below the transverse process, and posterior caudals having curved, rod-like neural spines with small process at the base. This supports the presence of spinosaurids in the Sao Khua Formation of Thailand. Furthermore, the putative basal ceratosaur Camarillasaurus Sánchez- Hernández and Benton, 2014 from Spain is found here to be a spinosaurid based on the resemblance of the type materials to the Thai spinosaurid described in the present work, as well as the phylogenetic analysis and the similarity to other spinosaurids. In Europe, spinosaurids have been reported from England, Portugal, and Spain. The reassessment of Camarillasaurus adds to the number of this group in this region. The presence of more than one spinosaurid taxon in the same region is common and can be found in the Kem Kem Beds of Morocco, the Araripe Basin of Brazil, the Iberian Peninsula, and the Khorat Plateau of Southeast Asia.

description: As the digitization of travel industry accelerates, analyzing and understanding travelers' behaviors becomes increasingly important. However, traveler data frequently exhibit high data sparsity due to the relatively low frequency of user interactions with travel providers. Compounding this effect the multiplication of devices, accounts and platforms while browsing travel products online also leads to data dispersion. To deal with these challenges, probabilistic traveler matching can be used. Most existing solutions for user matching are not suitable for traveler matching as a traveler's browsing history is typically short and URLs in the travel industry are very heterogeneous with many tokens. To deal with these challenges, we propose the similarity based multi-view information fusion to learn a better user representation from URLs by treating the URLs as multi-view data. The experimental results show that the proposed multi-view user representation learning can take advantage of the complementary information from different views, highlight the key information in URLs and perform significantly better than other representation learning solutions for the user matching task.

description: The nonanalyticity and the sign problem in the Z3-symmetric heavy quark model at low temperature are studied phenomenologically. For the free heavy quarks, the nonanalyticity is analyzed in the relation to the zeros of the grand canonical partition function. The Z3-symmetric effective Polyakov-line model (EPLM) in strong coupling limit is also considered as an phenomenological model of Z3-symmetric QCD with large quark mass at low temperature. We examine how the Z3-symmetric EPLM approaches to the original one in the zero-temperature limit. The effects of the Z3-symmetry affect the structure of zeros of the microscopic probability density function at the nonanalytic point. The average value of the Polyakov line can detect the structure, while the other thermodynamic quantities are not sensible to the structure in the zero-temperature limit. The effect of the imaginary quark chemical potential is also discussed. The imaginary part of the quark number density is very sensitive to the symmetry structure at the nonanalytical point. For a particular value of the imaginary quark number chemical potential, large quark number may be induced in the vicinity of the nonanalytical point.

description: Graph anomaly detection is crucial for identifying nodes that deviate from regular behavior within graphs, benefiting various domains such as fraud detection and social network. Although existing reconstruction-based methods have achieved considerable success, they may face the \textit{Anomaly Overfitting} and \textit{Homophily Trap} problems caused by the abnormal patterns in the graph, breaking the assumption that normal nodes are often better reconstructed than abnormal ones. Our observations indicate that models trained on graphs with fewer anomalies exhibit higher detection performance. Based on this insight, we introduce a novel two-stage framework called Anomaly-Denoised Autoencoders for Graph Anomaly Detection (ADA-GAD). In the first stage, we design a learning-free anomaly-denoised augmentation method to generate graphs with reduced anomaly levels. We pretrain graph autoencoders on these augmented graphs at multiple levels, which enables the graph autoencoders to capture normal patterns. In the next stage, the decoders are retrained for detection on the original graph, benefiting from the multi-level representations learned in the previous stage. Meanwhile, we propose the node anomaly distribution regularization to further alleviate \textit{Anomaly Overfitting}. We validate the effectiveness of our approach through extensive experiments on both synthetic and real-world datasets.

Pulse-Shape discrimination with the Counting Test Facility

description: Pulse shape discrimination (PSD) is one of the most distinctive features of liquid scintillators. Since the introduction of the scintillation techniques in the field of particle detection, many studies have been carried out to characterize intrinsic properties of the most common liquid scintillator mixtures in this respect. Several application methods and algorithms able to achieve optimum discrimination performances have been developed. However, the vast majority of these studies have been performed on samples of small dimensions. The Counting Test Facility, prototype of the solar neutrino experiment Borexino, as a 4 ton spherical scintillation detector immersed in 1000 tons of shielding water, represents a unique opportunity to extend the small-sample PSD studies to a large-volume setup. Specifically, in this work we consider two different liquid scintillation mixtures employed in CTF, illustrating for both the PSD characterization results obtained either with the processing of the scintillation waveform through the optimum Gatti's method, or via a more conventional approach based on the charge content of the scintillation tail. The outcomes of this study, while interesting per se, are also of paramount importance in view of the expected Borexino detector performances, where PSD will be an essential tool in the framework of the background rejection strategy needed to achieve the required sensitivity to the solar neutrino signals.

description: Genus Calcigorgia Broch, 1935
Diagnosis
Acanthogorgiid gorgonians whose sclerites are not individually conspicuous and not regularly arranged in the polyp. Sclerites are spindles, capstans, ovals, and clubs with warty, leafy, or serrated heads.
Remarks
The diagnosis given above combines those provided by Broch (1935) and Bayer (1981), and adds the cases when clubs with leafy or serrated (dentate) heads are present. Leafy clubs were shown for Calcigorgia matua, C. herba sp. nov. and С. lukini sp. nov. Clubs with serrated heads were found in C. japonica and in some specimens of Calcigorgia from Matsumoto et al. (2019). Matsumoto et al. (2019) also gave a diagnosis of the genus, but they wrongly noted that “tentacular sclerites are scales or absent; polyp and coenenchymal sclerites in the form of stout tuberculate spindles” (Matsumoto et al. 2019: 2–3). Calcigorgia spiculifera, the type of the genus, has not only scales but also clubs and spindles in the tentacles. Its polyp body and coenenchyme with capstans and ovals (Broch 1935: 22–25, fig. 14; Table 1 of the present paper). Additionally, various sclerite types besides the scales were documented in tentacles and other parts of colonies of a range of Calcigorgia representatives, including those described in Matsumoto et al. 2019 (Table 1 of the present contribution).

description: In the literatures, several types of thick smooth brane configurations in a pure geometric Weyl integrable 5-dimensional space time have been presented. The Weyl geometry is a non-Riemannian modification of 5-dimensional Kaluza--Klein (KK) theory. All these thick brane solutions preserve 4-dimensional Poincaré invariance, and some of them break $Z_2$--symmetry along the extra dimension. In this paper, we study localization of various matter fields on these pure geometrical thick branes, which also localize the graviton. We present the shape of the potential of the corresponding Schr$\mathrm{\ddot{o}}$dinger problem and obtain the lowest KK mode. It is showed that, for both spin 0 scalars and spin 1 vectors, there exists a continuum gapless spectrum of KK states with $m^2>0$. But only the massless mode of scalars is found to be normalizable on the brane. However, for the massless left or right chiral fermion localization, there must be some kind of Yukawa coupling. For a special coupling, there exist a series of discrete massive KK modes with $m^2 >0$. It is also showed that for a given coupling constant only one of the massless chiral modes is localized on the branes.

description: Face recognition has been used more and more in real world applications in recent years. However, when the skin color bias is coupled with intra-personal variations like harsh illumination, the face recognition task is more likely to fail, even during human inspection. Face normalization methods try to deal with such challenges by removing intra-personal variations from an input image while keeping the identity the same. However, most face normalization methods can only remove one or two variations and ignore dataset biases such as skin color bias. The outputs of many face normalization methods are also not realistic to human observers. In this work, a style based face normalization model (StyleFNM) is proposed to remove most intra-personal variations including large changes in pose, bad or harsh illumination, low resolution, blur, facial expressions, and accessories like sunglasses among others. The dataset bias is also dealt with in this paper by controlling a pretrained GAN to generate a balanced dataset of passport-like images. The experimental results show that StyleFNM can generate more realistic outputs and can improve significantly the accuracy and fairness of face recognition systems.

description: Body-Mass-Index (BMI) conveys important information about one's life such as health and socio-economic conditions. Large-scale automatic estimation of BMIs can help predict several societal behaviors such as health, job opportunities, friendships, and popularity. The recent works have either employed hand-crafted geometrical face features or face-level deep convolutional neural network features for face to BMI prediction. The hand-crafted geometrical face feature lack generalizability and face-level deep features don't have detailed local information. Although useful, these methods missed the detailed local information which is essential for exact BMI prediction. In this paper, we propose to use deep features that are pooled from different face regions (eye, nose, eyebrow, lips, etc.,) and demonstrate that this explicit pooling from face regions can significantly boost the performance of BMI prediction. To address the problem of accurate and pixel-level face regions localization, we propose to use face semantic segmentation in our framework. Extensive experiments are performed using different Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) backbones including FaceNet and VGG-face on three publicly available datasets: VisualBMI, Bollywood and VIP attributes. Experimental results demonstrate that, as compared to the recent works, the proposed Reg-GAP gives a percentage improvement of 22.4\% on VIP-attribute, 3.3\% on VisualBMI, and 63.09\% on the Bollywood dataset.

It is further shown that the new approach substantially decreases notorious finite-volume effects.

First-passage and extreme-value statistics of a particle subject to a constant force plus a random force

description: We consider a particle which moves on the x axis and is subject to a constant force, such as gravity, plus a random force in the form of Gaussian white noise. We analyze the statistics of first arrival at point $x_1$ of a particle which starts at $x_0$ with velocity $v_0$. The probability that the particle has not yet arrived at $x_1$ after a time $t$, the mean time of first arrival, and the velocity distribution at first arrival are all considered. We also study the statistics of the first return of the particle to its starting point. Finally, we point out that the extreme-value statistics of the particle and the first-passage statistics are closely related, and we derive the distribution of the maximum displacement $m={\rm max}_t[x(t)]$.

description: The Coherent WaveBurst (cWB) search algorithm identifies generic gravitational wave (GW) signals in the LIGO-Virgo strain data. We propose a machine learning (ML) method to optimize the pipeline sensitivity to the special class of GW signals known as binary black hole (BBH) mergers. Here, we test the ML-enhanced cWB search on strain data from the first and second observing runs of Advanced LIGO and successfully recover all BBH events previously reported by cWB, with higher significance. For simulated events found with a false alarm rate less than $1\,\mathrm{yr}^{-1}$, we demonstrate the improvement in the detection efficiency of 26% for stellar-mass BBH mergers and 16% for intermediate mass black hole binary mergers. To demonstrate the robustness of the ML-enhanced search for the detection of generic BBH signals, we show that it has the increased sensitivity to the spin precessing or eccentric BBH events, even when trained on simulated quasi-circular BBH events with aligned spins.
