Compositional phase stability of correlated electron materials within DFT+DMFT

description: Predicting the compositional phase stability of strongly correlated electron materials is an outstanding challenge in condensed matter physics, requiring precise computations of total energies. In this work, we employ the density functional theory plus dynamical mean-field theory (DFT+DMFT) formalism to address local correlations due to transition metal d electrons on compositional phase stability in the prototype rechargeable battery cathode material LixCoO2, and detailed comparisons are made with the simpler DFT+U approach (i.e. the Hartree-Fock solution of the DMFT impurity problem). Local interactions are found to strongly impact the energetics of the band insulator LiCoO2, most significantly via the Eg orbitals, which are partially occupied via hybridization with O p states. We find CoO2 and Li1/2CoO2 to be moderately correlated Fermi liquids with quasiparticle weights of 0.6-0.8 for the T2g states, which are most impacted by the interactions. As compared to DFT+U, DFT+DMFT considerably dampens the increase in total energy as U is increased, which indicates that dynamical correlations are important to describe this class of materials despite the relatively modest quasiparticle weights. Unlike DFT+U, which can incorrectly drive LixCoO2 towards spurious phase separating or charge ordered states, DFT+DMFT correctly captures the system's phase stability and does not exhibit a strong charge ordering tendency. Most importantly, the error within DFT+U varies strongly as the composition changes, challenging the common practice of artificially tuning U within DFT+U to compensate the errors of Hartree-Fock. DFT+DMFT predicts the average intercalation voltage decreases relative to DFT, opposite to the result of DFT+U, which would yield favorable agreement with experiment in conjunction with the overprediction of the voltage by the strongly constrained and appropriately normed DFT functional.

description: Being able to predict the crowd flows in each and every part of a city, especially in irregular regions, is strategically important for traffic control, risk assessment, and public safety. However, it is very challenging because of interactions and spatial correlations between different regions. In addition, it is affected by many factors: i) multiple temporal correlations among different time intervals: closeness, period, trend; ii) complex external influential factors: weather, events; iii) meta features: time of the day, day of the week, and so on. In this paper, we formulate crowd flow forecasting in irregular regions as a spatio-temporal graph (STG) prediction problem in which each node represents a region with time-varying flows. By extending graph convolution to handle the spatial information, we propose using spatial graph convolution to build a multi-view graph convolutional network (MVGCN) for the crowd flow forecasting problem, where different views can capture different factors as mentioned above. We evaluate MVGCN using four real-world datasets (taxicabs and bikes) and extensive experimental results show that our approach outperforms the adaptations of state-of-the-art methods. And we have developed a crowd flow forecasting system for irregular regions that can now be used internally.

Neutrino oscillation studies and the neutrino cross section

description: The present uncertainties in the knowledge of the neutrino cross sections for E_nu \sim 1 GeV, that is in the energy range most important for atmospheric and long baseline accelerator neutrinos, are large. These uncertainties do not play a significant role in the interpretation of existing data, however they could become a limiting factor in future studies that aim at a complete and accurate determination of the neutrino oscillation parameters. New data and theoretical understanding on nuclear effects and on the electromagnetic structure functions at low Q^2 and in the resonance production region are available, and can be valuable in reducing the present systematic uncertainties. The collaboration of physicists working in different subfields will be important to obtain the most from this available information. It is now also possible, with the facilities developed for long baseline beams, to produce high intensity and well controlled neutrino beams to measure the neutrino interaction properties with much better precision that what was done in the past. Several projects and ideas to fully exploit these possibilities are under active investigation. These topics have been the object of the first neutrino interaction (NUINT01) workshop.

description: The squeezing in a nonlinear system with chaotic dynamics is considered. The model describing interaction of collection of two-level atoms with a single-mode of self-consistent field and an external field is analyzed. It is shown that in the semiclassical limit, in contrast to the regular behaviour, the chaotic dynamics result in: (i) an increase in squeezing, (ii) unstable squeezing and contraction of time intervals of squeezing on large enough times. The possibility of the experimental observation of the described effects is discussed.

description: The Lorentzian EPRL spin foam amplitude for loop quantum gravity is a multi-dimensional non-compact integral of highly oscillating functions. Using a method based on the decomposition of Clebsch-Gordan coefficients for the unitary infinite-dimensional representations of SL(2,C) in terms of those of SU(2), we are able to provide for the first time numerical evaluations of the vertex amplitude. The values obtained support the asymptotic formula obtained by Barrett and collaborators with a saddle point approximation, showing, in particular, a power-law decay and oscillations related to the Regge action. The comparison offers a test of the efficiency of the method. Truncating the decomposition to the first few terms provides a qualitative matching of the power-law decay and oscillations. For vector and Euclidean Regge boundary data, a qualitative matching is obtained with just the first term, which corresponds to the simplified EPRL model. We comment on future developments for the numerics and extension to higher vertices. We complete our work with some analytic results: We provide an algorithm and explicit configurations for the different geometries that can arise as boundary data, and explain the geometric consequences of the decomposition used.

The Classical and Quantum Aspects of the Detection of Gravitational Waves
Creators: Factourovich, Maxim
Publisher: name: Columbia University

Subjects: Physics

description: Detection of gravitational waves has been one of the major undertakings of science for the past several decades. The elusive phenomenon first emerged as a natural consequence of the A. Einstein's Theory of General Relativity, but for many years was beyond the reach of the existing technological capabilities. Today, a radical effort is underway to take the measurement technology to a new, unprecedented level of sensitivity, in order to give a definite answer to one of the most fundamental aspects of our understanding of the Universe.
      The currently accepted detection scheme utilizes interference of near-infrared light inside a high-finesse Fabry-Perot cavity, and has achieved resolution on a scale of 10-21 as compared to the cavity length. At this scale, the signal becomes very sensitive to all kinds of unwanted inputs which include, but not limited to, the seismic activity, acoustic vibrations, thermal effects and radiation pressure noise. Moreover, the sensitivity requirements place it near the fundamental limit of quantum uncertainty which poses the ultimate barrier for lowering the detection threshold. Additionally, at the large kilometer-scale size of the installations, the signal propagation delays become significant enough to call for precise synchronization between the remote sensors and electronics within the main data collector. The need for this becomes even more evident considering a possibility of triangulation the otherwise non-directional signal, by unifying the data collected from different observatories spread around the globe.
      In this work, we first address the aspect of precise timing synchronization implemented in the US-based Advanced Laser-Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatories (LIGO) located at Hanford, WA and Livingston, LA. The developed Advanced LIGO Timing System allows for synchronization of virtually unlimited number of devices to an accuracy of better than 1 microsecond, regardless of the distances involved. The machinery uses Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) logic at its core processing units. The FPGA chips are driven by oscillators synchronized to both, a Master atomic clock and the Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites for a precise calibration with redundancy. The timings signals are encoded in a pulse-modulated signal and distributed over the network via optical fibers.
      Additionally, we present a prototype device that allows overcoming the quantum sensitivity barrier without violating the Uncertainty Principle, also known as the Squeezer. We demonstrate the laser shotnoise reduction of up to 9 dB in a test setup, that eventually translated to a 25% increase in the detector sensitivity, upon injection of the squeezed light into the operational LIGO
      interferometer.

description: We examine the possibility that a significant component of the energy density of the universe has an equation-of-state different from that of matter, radiation or cosmological constant ($Λ$). An example is a cosmic scalar field evolving in a potential, but our treatment is more general. Including this component alters cosmic evolution in a way that fits current observations well. Unlike $Λ$, it evolves dynamically and develops fluctuations, leaving a distinctive imprint on the microwave background anisotropy and mass power spectrum.

description: On-chip actuation and readout of mechanical motion is key to characterize mechanical resonators and exploit them for new applications. We capacitively couple a silicon nitride membrane to an off resonant radio-frequency cavity formed by a lumped element circuit. Despite a low cavity quality factor (Q$_\mathrm{E}\approx$ 7.4) and off resonant, room temperature operation, we are able to parametrize several mechanical modes and estimate their optomechanical coupling strengths. This enables real-time measurements of the membrane's driven motion and fast characterization without requiring a superconducting cavity, thereby eliminating the need for cryogenic cooling. Finally, we observe optomechanically induced transparency and absorption, crucial for a number of applications including sensitive metrology, ground state cooling of mechanical motion and slowing of light.

description: Lake Rotorua is experiencing increasing nutrient-related water quality problems. This paper is one in a series that explores the idea of creating a nutrient trading system as part of the ongoing policy response to this problem. 1 Most of the current nutrient flows to the Lake come from non-point rural sources – measuring these emissions is challenging. We find that it is possible to monitor/model nutrient loss from a wide range of activities in the Rotorua catchment. The model OVERSEER combined with ROTAN and some other models for forestry, urban and geothermal activities and horticulture already exist. They are currently in a process of enhancement – a particular area of current weakness is knowledge of the groundwater lags from specific locations in the catchment. The land-based models need to be used in a specific form that relies on initialisation with verifiable data and uses easily collated and verified data on an annual basis. The form of the model should be fixed for each regulatory year to minimise uncertainty for landowners and regulators. The models need to be updated to reflect new science. The process for doing this needs to be strategic and credible (this will be discussed in a later paper on governance processes). Once changes are recommended they need to be implemented in a way that is perceived to be fair.

description: We estimate the size of the triple Pomeron vertex in perturbative QCD and compare with the phenomenological value extracted from Regge fits to experimental data. For simplicity, the results of the QCD analysis are taken in the large-N_c limit. We find that the perturbative triple Pomeron coupling is of the same order of magnitude as the observed one. We also estimate the size of the Pomeron self energy and its contribution to the renormalization of the Pomeron intercept. The effect is very small, in agreement with previous nonperturbative estimates.

description: This dissertation explores the important but long forgotten career of the American artist Francis Davis Millet (1848-1912) and in the process calls into question several common understandings of turn-of-the-century American civic art. Through an examination of Millet’s civic art, including mural painting, illustration, and parades, I argue that Millet attempted to use the works he created for large audiences to help viewers navigate a common modern experience: the cultural diversity they encountered all around them. While many American artists making civic art during this period focused on allegorical scenes and emphasized whiteness, Millet’s images taught audiences about cultural diversity and even reflected a certain cultural sensitivity in their careful rendering of nonwhite subjects. In doing so, Millet employed the rhetoric of empiricism and engaged with his subject matter in a manner understood by his audience to be under the purview of science. This, I argue, aligned his project to the hierarchical understanding of “culture” and “evolution” presented by the anthropological community at the time, which argued for the superiority of white over nonwhite groups. In this way, though Millet attempted to move away from all-white subject matter and used global themes relevant to a modern moment, the underlying message he promoted served to reinforce notions of Anglo American hegemony.

Every closed, oriented, real analytic Riemannian 4-manifold whose bundle of self-dual 2-forms is trivial can be isometrically embedded as a coassociative submanifold in a G_2-manifold, even as the fixed locus of an anti-G_2 involution. These results, when coupled with McLean's analysis of the moduli spaces of such calibrated submanifolds, yield a plentiful supply of examples of compact calibrated submanifolds with nontrivial deformation spaces.

description: Corporate responsibility for human rights violations is increasingly becoming a reality. Voluntary codes of compliance, national legislation, international standards, consumer power and non-governmental organizations’ campaigns are all playing a role in further defining and enforcing the notion of corporate responsibility. This thesis analyzes the Coalition of Immokalee Workers (CIW), a worker-based human rights organization, which altered the labor relations defining Florida’s tomato fields through the implementation of the Fair Food Program. By focusing on the structure and objectives of the CIW, the thesis attempts to show how worker participation can constitute a transformative instrument within the struggle against corporate abuse. The organization’s success lies in the fact that it was able to establish its own agency against traditional power structures. It created among the workers a sense of solidarity that fostered a commitment toward changing their living and working conditions. Thus, the thesis questions grassroots approaches as a crucial path not only for the implementation of corporate responsibility programs, but also for their effectiveness and sustainability.

In this study, we implement a convolutional neural network trained to identify the spin-glass state in the three-dimensional Edwards-Anderson Ising spin-glass model from an input of Monte Carlo sampled configurations at a given temperature. The neural network is designed to be flexible with the input size and can accurately perform inference over a small sample of the instances in the test set. Using the neural network to classify instances of the three-dimensional Edwards-Anderson Ising spin-glass in a (random) field we show that the inferred phase boundary is consistent with the absence of an Almeida-Thouless line.

description: Taking and reviewing lecture notes is an effective and prevalent method of studying employed by students at the post-secondary level (Armbruster, 2000; Armbruster, 2009; Dunkel and Davy, 1989; Peverly et al., 2009). However, few studies have examined the cognitive variables that underlie this skill. In addition, these studies have focused on more verbally based domains, such as history and psychology. The current study examined the practical utility of notes in actual class settings. It is the first study that has attempted to examine the outcomes and cognitive skills associated with note-taking and review in any area of mathematics. It also set out to establish the importance of quality of notes and quality of review sheets to test performance in graduate level probability and statistics courses. Finally, this dissertation sought to explore the extent to which variables besides notes also contribute to test performance in this domain. Participants included 74 graduate students enrolled in introductory probability and statistics courses at a private graduate teacher education college in a large city in the Northeast United States. Participants took notes during class and provided the researcher with a copy of their notes for several lectures. Participants were also required to write down additional information on the back of two formula sheets that were used as an aid on the midterm exam. The independent variables included handwriting speed, gender, spatial visualization ability, background knowledge, verbal ability, and working memory. The dependent variables were quality of lecture notes, quality of supplemental review sheets, and midterm performance. All measures were group administered. Results revealed that gender was the only predictor of quality of lecture notes. Quality of lecture notes was the only significant predictor of quality of supplemental review sheets. Neither quality of lecture notes nor quality of supplemental review sheets predicted overall test performance. Instead, background knowledge and instructor significantly predicted overall test performance. Handwriting speed was a marginally significant predictor of overall test performance. Future research aimed at replicating these findings and expanding the results to include other mathematical domains and educational levels is recommended.

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 CP dependence of neutrino oscillation probability for all channels in arbitrary matter profile within three generations. We show that an oscillation probability for ν_e \to ν_μcan be written in the form P(ν_e \to ν_μ) =A_{eμ} cos δ+ B_{eμ} sin δ+ C_{eμ} without any approximation using the CP phase δ. This result holds not only in constant matter but also in arbitrary matter. Another probability for ν_μ\to ν_τcan be written in the form P(ν_μ\to ν_τ)= A_{μτ} cos δ+ B_{μτ} sin δ + C_{μτ} + D_{μτ} cos 2δ+ E_{μτ} sin 2δ. The term which is proportional to sin 2δdisappear, namely E_{μτ}=0, in symmetric matter. It means that the probability reduces to the same form as in constant matter. As for other channels, probabilities in arbitrary matter are at most the quadratic polynomials of sin δand cos δas in the above two channels. In symmetric matter, the oscillation probability for each channel reduces to the same form with respect to δas that in constant matter.

description: With the aging of the population and the change in the way people choose to support their old age, it has become a popular way to enjoy aging life in a familiar environment. To study the practice mode of this senior care demand and the operating principle behind it, this study is devoted to studying the practice of Aging in Community in Shanghai and New York, and the effectiveness generated by the different cooperation modes formed among the government, the private sector and non-profit organizations. In this study, a comparative study was conducted in the way of document analysis and semi-structured interview to study and analyze the practice in the Shanghai embedded community-based senior care program and New York naturally occurring retirement community-supportive service program. Effectiveness was evaluated from three perspectives: innovation and its sustainability, comprehensiveness, and community integration. After analysis, it found that the Shanghai case mainly adopts the practice of the government-led model, which is a centralized model that can provide a set of continuous innovation, comprehensive but less integrated practice, while New York adopts shared responsibility model, which a more distributed model that provides a less sustainably innovative and comprehensive but more for the community and integration solution.

description: Given an edge-weighted graph $G$ on $n$ nodes, the NP-hard Max-Cut problem asks for a node bipartition such that the sum of edge weights joining the different partitions is maximized. We propose a fixed-parameter tractable algorithm parameterized by the number $k$ of crossings in a given drawing of $G$. Our algorithm achieves a running time of $O(2^k \cdot p(n + k))$, where $p$ is the polynomial running time for planar Max-Cut. The only previously known similar algorithm [8] is restricted to 1-planar graphs (i.e., at most one crossing per edge) and its dependency on $k$ is of order $3^k$ . A direct consequence of our result is that Max-Cut is fixed-parameter tractable w.r.t. the crossing number, even without a given drawing. Moreover, the results naturally carry over to the minor crossing number.

Self-organized synchronization of mechanically coupled resonators based on optomechanics gain-loss balance

description: We investigate collective nonlinear dynamics in a blue-detuned optomechanical cavity that is mechanically coupled to an undriven mechanical resonator. By controlling the strength of the driving field, we engineer a mechanical gain that balances the losses of the undriven resonator. This gain-loss balance corresponds to the threshold where both coupled mechanical resonators enter simultaneously into self-sustained limit cycle oscillations regime. Rich sets of collective dynamics such as in-phase and out-of-phase synchronizations therefore emerge, depending on the mechanical coupling rate, the optically induced mechanical gain and spring effect, and the frequency mismatch between the resonators. Moreover, we introduce the quadratic coupling that induces enhancement of the in-phase synchronization. This work shows how phonon transport can remotely induce synchronization in coupled mechanical resonator array and opens up new avenues for metrology, communication, phonon-processing, and novel memories concepts.

Towards an Effective Particle-String Resolution of the Cosmological Constant Problem

description: The Cosmological Constant Problem is re-examined from an effective field theory perspective. While the connection between gravity and particle physics has not been experimentally probed in the quantum regime, it is severely constrained by the successes of Standard Model quantum field theory at short distances, and classical General Relativity at large distances. At first sight, it appears that combining particle physics and gravity inevitably leads to an effective field theory below the weak scale which suffers from large radiative corrections to the cosmological constant. Consequently, this parameter must be very finely tuned to lie within the experimental bounds. An analog of just this type of predicament, and its resolution, are described in some detail using only familiar quantum field theory. The loop-hole abstracted from the analogy is the possibility of graviton ``compositeness'' at a scale less than $10^{-2}$ eV, which cuts off the large contributions to the cosmological constant from standard model physics. Experimentally, this would show up as a dramatic breakdown of Newton's Law in upcoming sub-centimeter tests of gravity. Currently, strings are the only known example of such compositeness. It is proposed that the gravitational sector comprises strings of very low tension, which couple to a stringy ``halo'' surrounding each point-like standard model particle.

description: Chains of extended jordanian twists are studied for the universal enveloping algebras U(so(M)). The carrier subalgebra of a canonical chain F cannot cover the maximal nilpotent subalgebra N(so(M)). We demonstrate that there exist other types of Frobenius subalgebras in so(M) that can be large enough to include N(so(M)). The problem is that the canonical chains F do not preserve the primitivity on these new carrier spaces. We show that this difficulty can be overcome and the primitivity can be restored if one changes the basis and passes to the deformed carrier spaces. Finally the twisting elements for the new Frobenius subalgebras are explicitly constructed. This gives rise to a new family of universal R-matrices for orthogonal algebras. For a special case of g = so(5) and its defining representation we present the corresponding matrix solution of the Yang-Baxter equation.

description: Immensely bright quasars and radio-loud active galactic nuclei (AGNs) provide an enticing opportunity to construct standard candles detectable up to the very early universe. An analytic theory is proposed to measure the distance to powerful \citeauthor{FR+1974} type-II radio sources based on their integrated flux density across a broad range of radio frequencies, and the angular size and axis ratio of their synchrotron-emitting lobes. This technique can be used at low-redshift to construct absolute standard candles in conjunction with X-ray observations of the host cluster, or at high-redshift to measure the relative distances of objects and constrain the curvature of our universe. Distances calculated with this method are consistent for dissimilar objects at the same redshift; the two lobes of Cygnus A have flux densities, linear sizes and spectral break frequencies varying by between 15-35\% yet their fitted distances are the same to within 7\%. These distance estimates together yield a transverse comoving distance to Cygnus A of $261_{-55}^{+70}\rm\, Mpc$ corresponding to a Hubble constant of $H_0 = 64_{-13}^{+17}\rm\, km\, s^{-1}\, Mpc^{-1}$. Large samples of suitable FR-II sources could provide a measure of the Hubble constant independent of existing techniques such as the cosmic microwave background, baryon acoustic oscillations, and type 1a supernovae.

description: Suppose $F$ is a self-affine set on $\mathbb{R}^d$, $d\geq 2$, which is not a singleton, associated to affine contractions $f_j = A_j + b_j$, $A_j \in \mathrm{GL}(d,\mathbb{R})$, $b_j \in \mathbb{R}^d$, $j \in \mathcal{A}$, for some finite $\mathcal{A}$. We prove that if the group $Γ$ generated by the matrices $A_j$, $j \in \mathcal{A}$, forms a proximal and totally irreducible subgroup of $\mathrm{GL}(d,\mathbb{R})$, then any self-affine measure $μ= \sum p_j f_j μ$, $\sum p_j = 1$, $0 < p_j < 1$, $j \in \mathcal{A}$, on $F$ is a Rajchman measure: the Fourier transform $\widehatμ(ξ) \to 0$ as $|ξ| \to \infty$. As an application this shows that self-affine sets with proximal and totally irreducible linear parts are sets of rectangular multiplicity for multiple trigonometric series. Moreover, if the Zariski closure of $Γ$ is connected real split Lie group in the Zariski topology, then $\widehatμ(ξ)$ has a power decay at infinity. Hence $μ$ is $L^p$ improving for all $1 < p < \infty$ and $F$ has positive Fourier dimension. In dimension $d = 2,3$ the irreducibility of $Γ$ and non-compactness of the image of $Γ$ in $\mathrm{PGL}(d,\mathbb{R})$ is enough for power decay of $\widehatμ$. The proof is based on quantitative renewal theorems for random walks on the sphere $\mathbb{S}^{d-1}$.
