NS5-Branes, T-Duality and Worldsheet Instantons

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: The equivalence of NS5-branes and ALF spaces under T-duality is well known. However, a naive application of T-duality transforms the ALF space into a smeared NS5-brane, de-localized on the dual, transverse, circle. In this paper we re-examine this duality, starting from a two-dimensional N=(4,4) gauged linear sigma model describing Taub-NUT space. After dualizing the circle fiber, we find that the smeared NS5-brane target space metric receives corrections from multi-worldsheet instantons. These instantons are identified as Nielsen-Olesen vortices. We show that their effect is to break the isometry of the target space, localizing the NS5-brane at a point. The contribution from the k-instanton sector is shown to be proportional to the weighted integral of the Euler form over the k-vortex moduli space. The duality also predicts the, previously unknown, asymptotic exponential decay coefficient of the BPS vortex solution.

description: Just after the full moon had set early on 27 October 1857, Aborigines entered a darkened homestead on the Dawson River, Central Queensland, and killed all the men, except one who was knocked unconscious and left for dead. Then they induced the women and children outside and, after some deliberation, raped the three eldest and killed them all. The station family's name was Fraser and the tribe blamed for the attack was later known as the Jiman. The place was Hornet Bank sheep station, 30 miles west of Taroom. Among the 11 white victims were three employees - a tutor, and two shepherds. The eldest son of the family, William Fraser, had left some time previously with drays for Ipswich, 320 miles away. His 14-year-old brother, Sylvester, who had been knocked unconscious, soon recovered but lay hidden under his bed, listening as his mother and sisters were abused and slaughtered. Then, after the intruders had left about sunrise, Sylvester escaped to a neighbouring station and raised the alarm. In the retribution by the Native Mounted Police and settlers of the Upper Dawson and other districts, at least 150 Aborigines died; the total may have been 300. The long-term effect on the Jiman was the destruction of their society; the long-term effect on the Fraser brothers, William and Sylvester, was one of unremitting failure as colonists, and yet their story has become Queensland legend. Their revenge against the Jiman, without prosecution, helped to set the pattern for white attitudes and colonial government policy towards the Aborigines of Queensland for 40 years.

description: We present a mid-infrared (IR) sample study of nearby ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) using multi-epoch observations with the Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) on the Spitzer Space Telescope. Spitzer/IRAC observations taken after 2014 were obtained as part of the Spitzer Infrared Intensive Transients Survey (SPIRITS). Our sample includes 96 ULXs located within 10 Mpc. Of the 96~ULXs, 12 have candidate counterparts consistent with absolute mid-IR magnitudes of supergiants, and 16 counterparts exceeded the mid-IR brightness of single supergiants and are thus more consistent with star clusters or non-ULX background active galactic nuclei (AGN). The supergiant candidate counterparts exhibit a bi-modal color distribution in a Spitzer/IRAC color-magnitude diagram, where "red" and "blue" ULXs fall in IRAC colors $[3.6] - [4.5]\sim0.7$ and $[3.6] - [4.5]\sim0.0$, respectively. The mid-IR colors and absolute magnitudes of 4 "red" and 5 "blue" ULXs are consistent with that of supergiant B[e] (sgB[e]) and red supergiant (RSG) stars, respectively. While "blue", RSG-like mid-IR ULX counterparts likely host RSG mass donors, we propose the "red" counterparts are ULXs exhibiting the "B[e] phenomenon'' rather than hosts of sgB[e] mass donors. We show that the mid-IR excess from the "red" ULXs is likely due to thermal emission from circumstellar or circumbinary dust. Using dust as a probe for total mass, we estimate mass-loss rates of $\dot{M}\sim1\times10^{-4}$ M$_\odot$ yr$^{-1}$ in dust-forming outflows of red ULXs. Based on the transient mid-IR behavior and its relatively flat spectral index, $α=-0.19\pm0.1$, we suggest that the mid-IR emission from Holmberg IX X-1 originates from a variable jet.

description: Medical data has lead to the common understanding that bicycle helmets need to be improved to better protect against brain injuries resulting from rotational acceleration. Although many different technologies exist for reducing rotational acceleration during impacts, the lack of an official testing standard means that their evaluation is based on customized set-ups that may differ and not represent real accident conditions. Previously, the authors have shown that scalp tissue plays an important role during helmet testing by absorbing energy and creating a low friction interface between head and helmet, thus reducing rotational accelerations and velocities. However, no published study has yet examined the effectiveness of anti-rotational helmet technologies in the presence of a biofidelic scalp layer. The objective of this study is to address this gap. Three different commercially available helmet models, each one equipped with a different technology, were tested in the presence of scalp tissue, in two different scenarios; with and without the technology present. The effectiveness of each of these technologies is already documented in other studies, but only in the absence of a biofidelic scalp layer. Tests were carried out using HIII headform with porcine scalp attached to the outmost layer. Motion tracking was used to compare the impact kinematics of each helmet model in both scenarios. Results showed that when a biofidelic scalp layer is present, there is no statistical difference between helmet models with and without the anti-rotational technology in terms of rotational acceleration, velocity, relative rotation, impact duration and injury risk. Results suggest that the presence of the scalp can obscure the functionality of anti-rotational acceleration technologies. This could indicate that the effectiveness of technologies tested in previous studies, which have not tested anti-rotational acceleration technologies in the presence of a realistic scalp layer, may exaggerate the contribution of such technologies if compared with a more biofidelic set-up. The study supports the fact that headforms should be better designed by incorporating artificial skin layers that can better imitate scalp’s behavior and, in addition, provides insights for the design of technologies against rotational acceleration.

description: Spins in silicon quantum devices are promising candidates for large-scale quantum computing. Gate-based sensing of spin qubits offers compact and scalable readout with high fidelity, however further improvements in sensitivity are required to meet the fidelity thresholds and measurement timescales needed for the implementation of fast-feedback in error correction protocols. Here, we combine radio-frequency gate-based sensing at 622 MHz with a Josephson parametric amplifier (JPA), that operates in the 500-800 MHz band, to reduce the integration time required to read the state of a silicon double quantum dot formed in a nanowire transistor. Based on our achieved signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), we estimate that singlet-triplet single-shot readout with an average fidelity of 99.7% could be performed in 1 $μ$s, well-below the requirements for fault-tolerant readout and 30 times faster than without the JPA. Additionally, the JPA allows operation at a lower RF power while maintaining identical SNR. We determine a noise temperature of 200 mK with a contribution from the JPA (25%), cryogenic amplifier (25%) and the resonator (50%), showing routes to further increase the read-out speed.

description: This work demonstrates the use of Deep Learning-based Computer Vision for Remanufacturing end-of-life consumer electronics products, considering smartphones as the use-case. We implemented automated detection of screen defects such as scratches and cracks. In turn, this could lead to increased reuse of smartphones in a secondary market alongside new ones to meet consumer demand. The refurbishment of smartphone devices is a growing industry heavily dependent on manual labor, making decisions subjective, especially in grading the severity of damage. A critical analysis of defect detection and smartphone grading from a remanufacturing perspective is conducted. This analysis is significant in a remanufacturing sector that deals with dynamically varying input of cores (used products for remanufacturing), characteristics, timing, and number of returns. The solution we propose here is novel in its own right, requiring data analysis and collection, data curing, defect parameterization, and dataset building to enable model-based training and detection experiments. We collected and annotated a dataset to detect and grade the various defects based on their severity. A range of deep learning models was trained on the dataset to obtain baseline results for the state-of-the-art deep learning detection models, including YOLOv7, YOLOv8, YOLO11 variants, and Mask R-CNN. Our experiments also showed improved precision values when the pre-trained models were pre-fine-tuned using a road crack segmentation dataset before training on our phone defect dataset. The inference time for the YOLOv8x model is 8ms. This reduced inference time with a high precision of 70.4% indicates that a consistent, fast, and accurate grading is achieved here, ensuring a high throughput rate in the remanufacturing process and ensuring sustainability

description: A roadway departure crash is one in which a vehicle crosses an edge line, a centerline, or otherwise leaves the traveled way. These crashes that involve run-off-road and cross-median/centerline head-on collisions tend to be more severe than other crash types. According to the NHTSA Fatality Analysis Reporting System database, a total of 7,833 people perished in crashes involving fixed roadside objects in 2017, accounting for 21 percent of the total number of fatalities in the United States. Several previous studies have reported that rural bridge-related crashes result in more fatalities due to their being mostly the fixed-object crash type. As such, further in-depth investigation of this type of crash is necessary. Due to the lack of a comprehensive database that includes bridge-related crashes and bridge characteristics, identifying the key factors contributing to this type of crash is a challenging task that is addressed in this paper. Study team gathered and compiled five years (2011–2015) of crash data from the New Jersey crash database and the characteristics of bridges from the Long-Term Bridge Performance portal. A Firth’s penalized-likelihood logistic regression model was developed to examine the impact of explanatory variables on crash severity. Based on the five years (2011–2015) of crash data, significant factors (i.e., driver age, weather conditions, surface conditions, lighting conditions, speed limit, roadway characteristics, and direction of traffic) were identified that affect the severity of bridge-related crashes in Middlesex County, New Jersey. This model is an appropriate tool for predicting the impact of all the confounding variables on the probability of bridge-related crashes while also considering the rareness of the event. Based on the obtained odds ratio, the various effects of the identified variables are discussed, and recommendations made regarding countermeasures policymakers can establish to reduce the number of these crashes in New Jersey.

We demonstrate the equivalence of these procedures in the subspace of the second-class constraints. We then proceed to embed this mixed first- and second-class system into an extended first-class system within the framework of both approaches, and construct the corresponding generator for this extended gauge symmetry in both formulations.

Revisiting the Weak Nuclear Force: A Proposal of G Theory in Light of the W Boson Mass Discrepancy
Creators: name: ABOU-BAKR, KHETTAB
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025
Subjects: subject: W bosons
subject: Nuclear physics

description: This paper introduces G Theory, a novel framework for interpreting the weak nuclear force in light of the recent discrepancies observed in the W boson mass measurements, particularly the 2022 CDF II results. Contrary to theories invoking supersymmetry or new exotic particles, G Theory proposes that the deviation may stem from subtle gravitational-quantum effects embedded in weak interactions. By introducing a gravitational correction term into the Fermi coupling, the theory bridges quantum field dynamics and gravitational behavior at subatomic scales. The paper offers mathematical formulations, physical implications, and predictions for future experiments, aiming to extend the Standard Model without altering its fundamental particle content. This work invites further exploration into the hidden role of quantum gravity in known interactions.

Efficient Implementation and the Product State Representation of Numbers

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The relation between the requirement of efficient implementability and the product state representation of numbers is examined. Numbers are defined to be any model of the axioms of number theory or arithmetic. Efficient implementability (EI) means that the basic arithmetic operations are physically implementable and the space-time and thermodynamic resources needed to carry out the implementations are polynomial in the range of numbers considered. Different models of numbers are described to show the independence of both EI and the product state representation from the axioms. The relation between EI and the product state representation is examined. It is seen that the condition of a product state representation does not imply EI. Arguments used to refute the converse implication, EI implies a product state representation, seem reasonable; but they are not conclusive. Thus this implication remains an open question.

description: Intrusion of the occupant compartment increases the risks for severe injury and death. This study analyzes rear sled and crash tests with an instrumented second-row Hybrid III 5th percentile anthropometric test device (ATD) to assess occupant kinematics and biomechanical responses with and without intrusion of the second-row seatback. Three sled tests and four crash tests were conducted with a 1993 Ford Taurus and a belted 5th female ATD seated behind a belted 50th male ATD on the right-side of the vehicle. The sled tests were conducted at 25, 33 and 40 km/h and involved no intrusion. The first crash test was conducted with a passenger car striking the vehicle at 80 km/h with full centerline overlap. The second to fourth crash tests were with a Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) striking with a 50% overlap. Tests 2 and 3 were at 51 km/h and test 4, at 80 km/h impact speed. A large wooden speaker box was placed in the trunk of the Taurus in tests 3 and 4. Second-row intrusion was measured at the right-rear outboard package shelf retractor. The sled tests without intrusion had occupant responses below injury assessment reference values (IARVs). The right second-row ATD moved rearward relative to the interior, compressing the rear seatback until it rebounded forward. Occupant compartment intrusion of 12–77 cm in the crash tests pushed the ATD forward, increasing head and chest acceleration. The head, neck and chest biomechanical responses were below IARVs in crash tests 1 to 3 with minimal intrusion (≤ 25 cm). Most of the biomechanical responses were above IARVs for the right second-row ATD in test 4 with higher intrusion. The HIC increased with intrusion. Head acceleration was more than 2.5-times greater in test 3 than in test 2, highlighting the importance of cargo in rear crashes. Test 4 had 2.4-times more energy than test 3 and up to 7.7 times greater biomechanical responses with 77 cm of intrusion. The crash tests show that intrusion increases occupant responses in the right second-row seat and pushes the occupant forward in rear impacts. The sled tests without intrusion had relatively low biomechanical responses. Intrusion was influenced by the crash energy and cargo.

description: We have identified 82 short-period variable stars in Sextans A from deep WFPC2 observations. All of the periodic variables appear to be short-period Cepheids, with periods as small as 0.8 days for fundamental-mode Cepheids and 0.5 days for first-overtone Cepheids. These objects have been used, along with measurements of the RGB tip and red clump, to measure a true distance modulus to Sextans A of (m-M)_0 = 25.61 +/- 0.07, corresponding to a distance of d = 1.32 +/- 0.04 Mpc. Comparing distances calculated by these techniques, we find that short-period Cepheids (P < 2 days) are accurate distance indicators for objects at or below the metallicity of the SMC. As these objects are quite numerous in low-metallicity star-forming galaxies, they have the potential for providing extremely precise distances throughout the Local Group. We have also compared the relative distances produced by other distance indicators. We conclude that calibrations of RR Lyraes, the RGB tip, and the red clump are self-consistent, but that there appears to be a small dependence of long-period Cepheid distances on metallicity. Finally, we present relative distances of Sextans A, Leo A, IC 1613, and the Magellanic Clouds.

description: The UK is one of many high-income countries to experience a decline in driving license acquisition among young adults in the 2000s. This paper draws on newly available nationally representative microdata that captures the progress of individual drivers through the UK driving license acquisition process, to establish socio-demographic correlates. Using the 2016 and 2017 editions of England’s National Travel Survey data, a series of binary logit models were employed to identify factors associated with progression through the various phases of the UK’s driving license acquisition process. Factors that are associated with (1) the frequency of taking the driving license tests, (2) the number of times having failed the theory and driving tests are then identified. The socio-demographic explanators considered were each found to be associated with driving license holding in intuitive ways that are consistent with prior literature. However, relatively few factors are significantly associated with progress through the steps of the license acquisition process, and the goodness-of-fit for progress through these intermediate phases are generally lower (indicating that other unobservable idiosyncratic personal or contextual characteristics are dominant in these processes). A consistent theme is the strong relationship with labor market participation. Links between income and the intermediate phases, however, were generally weaker. Age is negatively associated with progress through the early phases when respondents are applying for provisional license and taking theory test, but this relationship turns positive in later stages of the acquisition process. To the authors’ knowledge, this study is the first opportunity to evaluate this novel data resource covering the UK’s driving license acquisition process. This is an important research direction to help policymakers understand young adults’ delay in acquiring licenses, particularly the extent to which there may be structural inequalities. The main finding is that socio-demographic factors appear to be relatively poor predictors, with employment status the strongest single correlate of the variables that were tested. This paper is concluded with suggestions for designers of household travel surveys in regions where youth license-acquisition is of increasing focus, as well as a brief discussion of future research needs.

description: Wannier90 is an open-source computer program for calculating maximally-localised Wannier functions (MLWFs) from a set of Bloch states. It is interfaced to many widely used electronic-structure codes thanks to its independence from the basis sets representing these Bloch states. In the past few years the development of Wannier90 has transitioned to a community-driven model; this has resulted in a number of new developments that have been recently released in Wannier90 v3.0. In this article we describe these new functionalities, that include the implementation of new features for wannierisation and disentanglement (symmetry-adapted Wannier functions, selectively-localised Wannier functions, selected columns of the density matrix) and the ability to calculate new properties (shift currents and Berry-curvature dipole, and a new interface to many-body perturbation theory); performance improvements, including parallelisation of the core code; enhancements in functionality (support for spinor-valued Wannier functions, more accurate methods to interpolate quantities in the Brillouin zone); improved usability (improved plotting routines, integration with high-throughput automation frameworks), as well as the implementation of modern software engineering practices (unit testing, continuous integration, and automatic source-code documentation). These new features, capabilities, and code development model aim to further sustain and expand the community uptake and range of applicability, that nowadays spans complex and accurate dielectric, electronic, magnetic, optical, topological and transport properties of materials.

Reduction of pteridines

Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1961
Subjects: Pteridines

description: 215 leaves
description: Summary: Reduction: The fifteen possible hydroxy- and polyhydroxypteridines were reduced, chemically and catalytically. Potassium borohydride, sodium dithionite, and potassium (or sodium) amalgam were used as the chemical reducing agents. Hydrogenation over palladium, platinum, and Raney-nickel were used for catalytic reductions. Except 2,4,7-trihydroxypteridine all these were successfully reduced by at least one of the above methods. Hyuroxypteridines lacking a hydroxy group in the pyrazine ring gave tetrahydropteridines and, in some cases, a dihydro-compound as well. Thus 2-hydroxypteridine gave 5,6,7, 8-tetraliydro-2-hydroxypteridine and also 3,4-dihydro-2-hydroxypteridine. The latter is the first example of the reduction of a pteridine in the pyrimidine ring.On the other hand, hydroxypteridines having a hydroxy group in the pyrazine ring gave only dihydro-compounds on reduction. Thus 6-hydroxypteridines gave 7,8-dihydro-6- hydroxypteridines, and 7-hydroxypteridines gave their 5,6- dihydro-derivatives.

description: We study a quotient Conformal Field Theory, which describes a 3+1 dimensional cosmological spacetime. Part of this spacetime is the Nappi-Witten (NW) universe, which starts at a ``big bang'' singularity, expands and then contracts to a ``big crunch'' singularity at a finite time. The gauged WZW model contains a number of copies of the NW spacetime, with each copy connected to the preceeding one and to the next one at the respective big bang/big crunch singularities. The sequence of NW spacetimes is further connected at the singularities to a series of non-compact static regions with closed timelike curves. These regions contain boundaries, on which the observables of the theory live. This suggests a holographic interpretation of the physics.

Revisiting Hardy's Paradox: Counterfactual Statements, Real Measurements, Entanglement and Weak Values

description: Classical-realistic analysis of entangled systems have lead to retrodiction paradoxes, which ordinarily have been dismissed on the grounds of counter-factuality. Instead, we claim that such paradoxes point to a deeper logical structure inherent to quantum mechanics, which is naturally described in the language of weak values, and which is accessible experimentally via weak measurements. Using as an illustration, a gedanken-experiment due to Hardy\cite{hardy}, we show that there is in fact an exact numerical coincidence between a) a pair of classically contradictory assertions about the locations of an electron and a positron, and b) the results of weak measurements of their location. The internal consistency of these results is due to the novel way by which quantum mechanics "resolves" the paradox: first, by allowing for two distinguishable manifestations of how the electron and positron can be at the same location: either as single particles or as a pair; and secondly, by allowing these properties to take either sign. In particular, we discuss the experimental meaning of a {\em negative} number of electron-positron pairs.

description: Chandra is detecting a significant population of normal and starburst galaxies in extremely deep X-ray exposures. For example, approximately 15% of the sources arising in the 2 Ms Chandra Deep Field-North survey are fairly normal galaxies, where "normal" means "Milky Way-type" X-ray emission rather than simply exhibiting an "optically normal" spectrum. Many of these galaxies are being detected at large look-back times z=0.1-0.5, allowing the study of the evolution of X-ray binary populations over significant cosmological timescales. We are also detecting individual off-nuclear ultraluminous X-ray sources (e.g., X-ray binaries), providing the first direct constraints on the prevalence of lower-mass black holes at significantly earlier times. The X-ray emission from such "normal" galaxies may also be a useful star-formation rate indicator, based on radio/X-ray cross-identifications. We describe the contribution of normal galaxies to the populations which make up the X-ray background and present their directly measured X-ray number counts. We find that normal and starburst galaxies should dominate the 0.5--2 keV number counts at X-ray fluxes fainter than 7e-18 erg cm^{-2} s^{-1} (thus they will outnumber the "mighty" AGN). Finally, we look to the future, suggesting that it is important that the population of X-ray faint normal and starburst galaxies be well constrained in order to design the next generation of X-ray observatories.
