QED$_3$ with quenched disorder: quantum critical states with interactions and disorder

description: Quantum electrodynamics in 2+1-dimensions (QED$_3$) is a strongly coupled conformal field theory (CFT) of a U(1) gauge field coupled to $2N$ two-component massless fermions. The $N=2$ CFT has been proposed as a ground state of the spin-1/2 kagome Heisenberg antiferromagnet. We study QED$_3$ in the presence of weak quenched disorder in its two spatial directions. When the disorder explicitly breaks the fermion flavor symmetry from SU($2N$)$\rightarrow$U(1)$\times$SU($N$) but preserves time-reversal symmetry, we find that the theory flows to a non-trivial fixed line at non-zero disorder with a continuously varying dynamical critical exponent $z>1$. We determine the zero-temperature flavor (spin) conductivity along the critical line. Our calculations are performed in the large-$N$ limit, and the disorder is handled using the replica method.

description: With present and future wireless technologies, such as IEEE 802.11, BlueTooth, RF-Lite, and G3, handheld devices will frequently be in close, interactive communication. Many environments, including offices, meeting rooms, automobiles and classrooms already contain many computers and computerized appliances, and the smart homes of the future will have ubiquitous embedded computation. When the user enters one of these environments carrying a handheld device, how will that device interact with the environment? We are exploring, as part of the Pebbles research project, the many ways that handheld devices such as PalmOS Organizers, PocketPC and Windows CE devices, and smart cell phones can serve as useful adjuncts to the “fixed” computers and computerized appliances in the user’s vicinity. This brings up many interesting research questions, such as: How can the handheld device improve the user interfaces of everything else in the user’s environment, rather than being just be another complex gadget that must be learned? What is the best way to provide a user interface that spans multiple devices that are in use at the same time? How will users and systems decide which functions should be presented and in what manner on what device? How can the user’s handheld device be effectively used as a “Personal Universal Controller” to provide an easy-to-use and familiar interface to all of the complex appliances available to a user? How can communicating handheld devices enhance the effectiveness of meetings and classroom lectures? We present some preliminary observations on these issues, and discuss some of the systems that we have built to investigate them.

description: We report new results of a 57Fe Mössbauer study of multiferroic 3R-AgFeO2 powder samples performed in a wide temperature range, including two points, TN1 ~ 14 K and TN2 ~ 9 K, of magnetic phase transitions. At the intermediate temperature range, TN2 < T < TN1, the 57Fe Mössbauer spectra can be described in terms of collinear spin-density-waves (SDW) with the inclusion of many high-order harmonics, indicating that the real magnetic structure of this ferrite appears to be more complicated than a pure sinusoidally modulated SDW. The spectra at low temperatures, T < TN2, consist of a Zeeman pattern with line broadenings and sizeable spectral asymmetry. It has been shown that the observed spectral shape is consistent with a transition to the elliptical cycloidal magnetic structure. An analysis of the experimental spectra was carried out under the assumption that the electric hyperfine interactions are modulated when the Fe3+ magnetic moment rotates with respect to the principal axis of the EFG tensor and emergence of the strong anisotropy of the magnetic hyperfine field Hhf at the 57Fe nuclei. The large and temperature-independent anharmonicity parameter, m ~ 0.78, of the cycloidal spin structure obtained from the experimental spectra results from easy-axis anisotropy in the plane of rotation of the iron spin. Analysis of different mechanisms of spin and hyperfine interactions in 3R-AgFeO2 and its structural analogue CuFeO2 points to a specific role played by the topology of the exchange coupling and the oxygen polarization in the delafossite structures.

description: We present a quantum algorithm for systems of (possibly inhomogeneous) linear ordinary differential equations with constant coefficients. The algorithm produces a quantum state that is proportional to the solution at a desired final time. The complexity of the algorithm is polynomial in the logarithm of the inverse error, an exponential improvement over previous quantum algorithms for this problem. Our result builds upon recent advances in quantum linear systems algorithms by encoding the simulation into a sparse, well-conditioned linear system that approximates evolution according to the propagator using a Taylor series. Unlike with finite difference methods, our approach does not require additional hypotheses to ensure numerical stability.

Study of Dark-Matter Admixed Neutron Stars using the Equation of State from the Rotational Curves of Galaxies

description: In this work, we employ the dark matter equations of state (DMEOSs) obtained from the rotational curves of galaxies as well as the fermionic DMEOS with m = 1.0 GeV to study the structure of darkmatter admixed neutron stars (DMANSs). Applying the equation of state in the Skyrme framework for the neutron matter (NM), we calculate the mass-radius relation for different DMANSs with various DMEOSs and central pressure of dark matter (DM) to NM ratios. Our results show that for some DMEOSs, the mass-radius relations are in agreement with new observations, e.g. EXO 1745-248, 4U 1608-52, and 4U 1820-30, which are inconsistent with the normal neutron stars. We conclude that both DMEOSs and central pressure ratios of DM to NM affect the slope of the mass-radius relation of DMANSs. This is because of the interaction between DM and NM, which leads to gravitationally or self-bound DMANSs. We study the radius of the NM sphere as well as the radius of the DM halo for different DMANSs. The results confirm that, in some cases, a NM sphere with a small radius is surrounded by a halo of DM with a larger radius. Our calculations verify that, due to the different degrees of DM domination in DMANSs, with a value of the visible radius of a star two possible DMANSs with different masses can be exist. The gravitational redshift is also calculated for DMANSs with different DMEOSs and central pressure ratios. The results explain that the existence of DM in a DMANS leads to higher values of gravitational redshift of the star.

description: This study presents a review of the current state of research on teaching quantum mechanics in secondary and lower undergraduate education. A conceptual approach to quantum mechanics is being implemented in more and more introductory physics courses around the world. Because of the differences between the conceptual nature of quantum mechanics and classical physics, research on misconceptions, testing, and teaching strategies for introductory quantum mechanics is needed. For this review, 74 articles were selected and analyzed for the misconceptions, research tools, teaching strategies and multimedia applications investigated. Outcomes were categorized according to their contribution to the various subtopics of quantum mechanics. Analysis shows that students have difficulty relating quantum physics to physical reality. It also shows that the teaching of complex quantum behavior, such as time dependence, superposition and the measurement problem, has barely been investigated for the secondary and lower undergraduate level. At the secondary school level, this review shows a need to investigate student difficulties concerning wave functions and potential wells. Investigation of research tools shows the necessity for the development of assessment tools for secondary and lower undergraduate education, which cover all major topics and are suitable for statistical analysis. Furthermore, this review shows the existence of very diverse ideas concerning teaching strategies for quantum mechanics and a lack of research into which strategies promote understanding. This review underlines the need for more empirical research into student difficulties, teaching strategies, activities and research tools intended for a conceptual approach for quantum mechanics.

description: Giant radio galaxies (GRGs) are one of the largest astrophysical sources in the Universe with an overall projected linear size of ~0.7 Mpc or more. Last six decades of radio astronomy research has led to the detection of thousands of radio galaxies. But only ~ 300 of them can be classified as GRGs. The reasons behind their large size and rarity are unknown. We carried out a systematic search for these radio giants and found a large sample of GRGs. In this paper, we report the discovery of 25 GRGs from NVSS, in the redshift range (z) ~ 0.07 to 0.67. Their physical sizes range from ~0.8 Mpc to ~4 Mpc. Eight of these GRGs have sizes greater than 2Mpc which is a rarity. In this paper, for the first time, we investigate the mid-IR properties of the optical hosts of the GRGs and classify them securely into various AGN types using the WISE mid-IR colours. Using radio and IR data, four of the hosts of GRGs were observed to be radio loud quasars that extend up to 2 Mpc in radio size. These GRGs missed detection in earlier searches possibly because of their highly diffuse nature, low surface brightness and lack of optical data. The new GRGs are a significant addition to the existing sample that will contribute to better understanding of the physical properties of radio giants.

description: This paper focuses on developing a framework for uncovering insights about NDD children's performance (e.g., raw gaze cluster analysis, duration analysis \& area of interest for sustained attention, stimuli expectancy, loss of focus/motivation, inhibitory control) and informing their teachers. The hypothesis behind this work is that self-adaptation of games can contribute to improving students' well-being and performance by suggesting personalized activities (e.g., highlighting stimuli to increase attention or choosing a difficulty level that matches students' abilities). The aim is to examine how AI can be used to help solve this problem. The results would not only contribute to a better understanding of the problems of NDD children and their teachers but also help psychologists to validate the results against their clinical knowledge, improve communication with patients and identify areas for further investigation, e.g., by explaining the decision made and preserving the children's private data in the learning process.

description: We argue that the level-$1$ elliptic algebra $U_{q,p}(\widehat{\mathfrak{g}})$ is a dynamical symmetry realized as a part of 2d/5d correspondence where the Drinfeld currents are the screening currents to the $q$-Virasoro/W block in the 2d side. For the case of $U_{q,p}(\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}(2))$, the level-$1$ module has a realization by an elliptic version of the Frenkel-Kac construction. The module admits the action of the deformed Virasoro algebra. In a $r$-th root of unity limit of $p$ with $q^2 \rightarrow 1$, the $\mathbb{Z}_r$-parafermions and a free boson appear and the value of the central charge that we obtain agrees with that of the 2d coset CFT with para-Virasoro symmetry, which corresponds to the 4d $\mathcal{N}=2$ $SU(2)$ gauge theory on $\mathbb{R}^4/\mathbb{Z}_r$.

description: We study the dynamics of genuine multipartite entanglement for quantum systems upto four qubits interacting with general collective dephasing process. Using a computable entanglement monotone for multipartite systems, we observe the feature of freezing dynamics of genuine entanglement for three and four qubits entangled states. We compare the dynamics with that of random states and find that most states exibit this feature. We then study the effects of collective dephasing on genuine nonlocality and find out that although quantum states remain genuinely entangled yet their genuine nonlocality is lost in a finite time. We show the sensitivity of asymptotic states being genuinely entangled by mixing white noise.

Anisotropic Andreev Reflection and Josephson Effect in Ballistic Phosphorene

Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)

description: We study Andreev reflection and the Josephson effect in a ballistic monolayer of black phosphorous, known as phosphorene. Due to the anisotropic band structure of this system, the supercurrent changes with an order of magnitude when comparing tunneling along two perpendicular directions in the monolayer. We show that the main reason for this effect is a large difference in the number of transverse modes in Andreev bound states. The oscillatory behavior of the supercurrent as a function of the length and chemical potential of the junction also differs substantially depending on the orientation of the superconducting electrodes deposited on the phosphorene sheet. For Andreev reflection, we show that a gate voltage controls the probability of this process and that the anisotropic behavior found in the supercurrent case is also present for conductance spectra.

description: Laser surface structuring has proven to be an effective technique for achieving a copper surface with secondary electron yield (SEY) values close to or below unity. However, the attributes that minimize SEY, such as moderately deep grooves and redeposited nanoparticles, may lead to undesirable consequences, including increased radio frequency surface resistance. This investigation systematically examined data about different cleaning procedures designed to eliminate redeposited adsorbed particulates. Various analysis techniques were used iteratively after each consecutive cleaning step, providing insights into the evolving surface characteristics. The collected experimental results identified distinct impacts of microgrooves, groove orientation, and associated particulates on secondary electron yield and surface resistance. Exposing the crests while retaining high particulate coverage in the grooves leads to reduced SEY values and surface resistance, suggesting that the tips of the grooves exert a more significant influence on surface current density than the groove depth. At the same time, nanoparticles in the grooves have a more significant impact on SEY values than the exposed tips at the surface.

description: Methods of measuring differentiation in archaeological assemblages have long been based on attribute-level analyses of assemblages. This paper considers a method of comparing assemblages as probability distributions via the Hellinger distance, as calculated through a Dirichlet-categorical model of inference using Monte Carlo methods of approximation. This method has application within practice-theory traditions of archaeology, an approach which seeks to measure and associate different factors that comprise the habitus of society. It is implemented here focusing on the question of regional food consumption habits in Republican Italy in the last two centuries BCE, toward informing a perspective on mass social change.

description: We construct the Siegel modular forms associated with the theta lift of twisted elliptic genera of $K3$ orbifolded with $g'$ corresponding to the conjugacy classes of the Mathieu group $M_{24}$. We complete the construction for all the classes which belong to $M_{23} \subset M_{24}$ and two other classes outside the subgroup $M_{23}$. For this purpose we provide the explicit expressions for all the twisted elliptic genera in all the sectors of these classes. We show that the Siegel modular forms satisfy the required properties for them to be generating functions of $1/4$ BPS dyons of type II string theories compactified on $K3\times T^2$ and orbifolded by $g'$ which acts as a $\mathbb{Z}_N$ automorphism on $K3$ together with a $1/N$ shift on a circle of $T^2$. In particular the inverse of these Siegel modular forms admit a Fourier expansion with integer coefficients together with the right sign as predicted from black hole physics. Our analysis completes the construction of the partition function for dyons as well as the twisted elliptic genera for all the $7$ CHL compactifications.

description: A $\mathcal{CP}$ conserving $\mathrm{SU}(3)$ gauge theory is spontaneously broken to $\mathrm{T}_7$ by the vacuum expectation value (VEV) of a $\boldsymbol{15}$-plet. Even though the $\mathrm{SU}(3)$-$\,\mathcal{CP}$ transformation is not broken by the VEV, the theory exhibits physical $\mathcal{CP}$ violation in the broken phase. This is because the $\mathrm{SU}(3)$-$\,\mathcal{CP}$ transformation corresponds to the unique order-two outer automorphism of $\mathrm{T}_7$, which is not a physical $\mathcal{CP}$ transformation for the $\mathrm{T}_7$ states, and there is no other possible $\mathcal{CP}$ transformation. We explicitly demonstrate that $\mathcal{CP}$ is violated by calculating a $\mathcal{CP}$ odd decay asymmetry in the broken phase. This scenario provides us with a natural protection for topological vacuum terms, ensuring that $θ\,G_{μν}\widetilde{G}^{μν}$ is absent even though $\mathcal{CP}$ is violated for the physical states of the model.

description: We demonstrate that theoretical predictions using current resummation techniques for the lepton pair production (LPP) rapidity and $x_F$ distributions can be inconsistent with data in high rapidity and $x_F$ kinematic regions by observing their effect in global fits of parton distribution functions (PDFs). We present an enhanced resummation technique for the LPP rapidity and $x_F$ distributions that agrees with LPP data. The enhanced resummation method is used in conjunction with threshold resummation in deep inelastic scattering (DIS) to perform two global fits of PDFs using the minimal and Borel prescriptions. The results are analyzed to determine the effect of threshold resummation on global fits of PDFs.

Curse and/or blessing? : Turkish soap operas and their impact on contemporary Algerian women : audience reception and audio-visual analysis of the historical TV drama Harim al-Sultan (The Magnificent Century)
Creators: name: KHEDIMI ZAHRA
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021
Subjects: Turkey, Algeria

description: Abstract
 Turkey is now the second biggest TV market exporter after the US finding huge audiences
 among Arab women. This study examines how Algerian women perceive the Dizi genres,
 what makes them captivating and influential, and determines the dominant positive and
 negative themes tackled in these TV dramas. Based on literature review on globalized media,
 media effect theories, and gender studies, an online focus group discussion, online
 questionnaires, and interpretative phenomenological analysis techniques this study aims to
 understand the reception and perception of Turkish TV series by Algerian female viewers.
 The thesis implements the audio-visual content analysis method on the most-watched Dizi TV
 drama titled Harim al-Sultan as a case study to identify the prominent features of those soap
 operas. The findings show that the lack of Algerian local cinematic production, cultural
 proximity between Turkey and Algeria, Syrian dialect, creative scenarios, and modern
 lifestyles broadcasted in the Dizi TV dramas has rapidly increased its popularity among
 Algerian female viewers.
 The results also indicate that Turkish TV dramas depict women who appear to be modern and
 independent and who challenge imposed traditional patriarchal values. At the same time, they
 also promote gender stereotypes, romanticizing rape stories, and spreading Western
 ideologies under the umbrella of modernity that could threaten or weaken Algerian females’

Tackling Maternal Anxiety in the Perinatal Period: Reconceptualising Mothering Narratives
Creators: name: Schmied, Virginia

description: For many mothers in Australia, worries about pregnancy, birth and parenthood have become a source of considerable anxiety. Although apprehension and heightened concern are normal responses to change, raised expectations, contradictory information, the increased surveillance of mental health issues and a fragmented health system may contribute to the higher prevalence of anxiety. In this paper, we identify challenges surrounding maternal anxiety, including the limitations of current approaches to prevention and treatment, and the role the ‘good mother’ narrative may play in increasing anxiety. An overview of our research at Western Sydney University (WSU) demonstrates how working with mothers, and those who support them, can optimise resilience and hope and allow for new ways to celebrate the diverse experience of motherhood within our communities. Our ultimate goal is to transform the narrative from one that pathologises mothers, and those who support them, to one that normalises, embraces and celebrates the diverse, natural concerns about parenting.

description: We present a moving control volume (CV) approach to computing hydrodynamic forces and torques on complex geometries. The method requires surface and volumetric integrals over a simple and regular Cartesian box that moves with an arbitrary velocity to enclose the body at all times. The moving box is aligned with Cartesian grid faces, which makes the integral evaluation straightforward in an immersed boundary (IB) framework. Discontinuous and noisy derivatives of velocity and pressure at the fluid-structure interface are avoided and far-field (smooth) velocity and pressure information is used. We re-visit the approach to compute hydrodynamic forces and torques through force/torque balance equation in a Lagrangian frame that some of us took in a prior work (Bhalla et al., J Comp Phys, 2013). We prove the equivalence of the two approaches for IB methods, thanks to the use of Peskin's delta functions. Both approaches are able to suppress spurious force oscillations and are in excellent agreement, as expected theoretically. Test cases ranging from Stokes to high Reynolds number regimes are considered. We discuss regridding issues for the moving CV method in an adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) context. The proposed moving CV method is not limited to a specific IB method and can also be used, for example, with embedded boundary methods.

description: Excitons and plasmons are the two most fundamental types of collective electronic excitations occurring in solids. Traditionally, they have been studied separately using bulk techniques that probe their average energetic structure over large spatial regions. However, as the dimensions of materials and devices continue to shrink, it becomes crucial to understand how these excitations depend on local variations in the crystal- and chemical structure on the atomic scale. Here we use monochromated low-loss scanning-transmission-electron-microscopy electron-energy-loss (LL-STEM-EEL) spectroscopy, providing the best simultaneous energy and spatial resolution achieved to-date to unravel the full set of electronic excitations in few-layer MoS2 nanosheets over a wide energy range. Using first-principles many-body calculations we confirm the excitonic nature of the peaks at ~2eV and ~3eV in the experimental EEL spectrum and the plasmonic nature of higher energy-loss peaks. We also rationalise the non-trivial dependence of the EEL spectrum on beam and sample geometry such as the number of atomic layers and distance to steps and edges. Moreover, we show that the excitonic features are dominated by the long wavelength (q=0) components of the probing field, while the plasmonic features are sensitive to a much broader range of q-vectors, indicating a qualitative difference in the spatial character of the two types of collective excitations. Our work provides a template protocol for mapping the local nature of electronic excitations that open new possibilities for studying photo-absorption and energy transfer processes on a nanometer scale.

description: Modified gravity theories are supposed to incorporate low-energy quantum-gravity effects and, at the same time, they could shed light into the dark matter and dark energy problems. Here we study a particular modification of general relativity where local Lorentz invariance is spontaneously broken and whose physical effects, despite a decade-long effort, were unknown. We show that, during inflation, this modification produces anisotropies that would generate measurable effects on the Cosmic Microwave Background. Then, by using empirical constraints on the B-mode polarization spectrum, we can estimate that the `coefficient' components absolute value have to be smaller than $10^{-43}$. This is a remarkably strong limit, in fact, it is 29 orders of magnitude better than the best constraints on similar coefficients. Thus, we propose that inflation could stringently test other modified gravity theories.

description: The growing concern for food safety and quality, especially in the COVID-19 pandemic and new normal situation, motivates governments and private sectors to improve consumers’ confidence in food systems, such as through adopting certifications and traceability systems. The recent emergence of diverse food labelling schemes in food systems in emerging countries has sparked questions about consumers’ valuation of such labels. Nonetheless, little is known about how familiarity with, trust in and knowledge of these food labels affect consumers’ utility. The purpose of this study is to reveal consumers’ preferences towards food labels. This research uses the discrete choice experiment (DCE) methodology to measure 1365 respondents’willingness to pay for safety attributes displayed on food labels in different retailing outlets. Empirical evidence shows that certification was the most preferred safety attributes with highest level WTP hovering around 50% more for both USDA and VietGap certificates. Second rank belongs to traceability system when consumer express particular interest for farming and processing information instead of those with more complicated information. Meanwhile, food purchasing venue is less affecting on consumers’ WTP for a certain food label. Consumers’s demographic factors, familiarity, knowledge and trust also hold an important role in explaining consumers’heterogeneity. Our findings provide managerial implications for food policymakers and food providers to govern the food market to restore consumers’confidence.

description: Part of a collection of correspondence between Adrian Stokes and Herbert Read spanning from 1934-1962. Stokes was a painter and art critic who also had an interest in psychoanalysis. It was largely due to his efforts and work that the small fishing port of St. Ives became a centre of modernist art culture. In this letter, Stokes discusses a "Beauty and the Beast" essay Read has sent him, and psychoanalysis. Includes a portion of the essay on a separate strip of paper.

description: The LHCb RICH system provides hadron identification over a wide momentum range (2-100 GeV/c). This detector system is key to LHCb's precision flavour physics programme, which has unique sensitivity to physics beyond the standard model. This paper reports on the performance of the LHCb RICH in Run II, following significant changes in the detector and operating conditions. The changes include the refurbishment of significant number of photon detectors, assembled using new vacuum technologies, and the removal of the aerogel radiator. The start of Run II of the LHC saw the beam energy increase to 6.5 TeV per beam and a new trigger strategy for LHCb with full online detector calibration. The RICH information has also been made available for all trigger streams in the High Level Trigger for the first time.

description: Porous mesophases, where well-defined particle-depleted 'void' spaces are present within a particle-rich background fluid, can be self-assembled from colloidal particles interacting via isotropic pair interactions with competing attractions and repulsions. While such structures could be of wide interest for technological applications (e.g., filtration, catalysis, absorption, etc.), relatively few studies have investigated the interactions that lead to these morphologies and how they compare to those that produce other micro-phase-separated structures, such as clusters. In this work, we use inverse methods of statistical mechanics to design model isotropic pair potentials that form porous mesophases. We characterize the resulting porous structures, correlating features of the pair potential with the targeted pore size and the particle packing fraction. The former is primarily encoded by the amplitude and range of the repulsive barrier of the designed pair potential and the latter by the attractive well depth. We observe a trade-off with respect to the packing fraction of the targeted morphology: greater values support more spherical and monodisperse pores that themselves organize into periodic structures, while lower values yield more mobile pores that do not assemble into ordered structures but remain stable over a larger range of packing fraction. We conclude by commenting on the limitations of targeting a specific pore diameter within the present inverse design approach as well as by describing future directions to overcome these limitations.

description: Existing designs of transformation acoustic cloaks are not easy to implement in many practical situations because of their large dimensions, while scattering cancellation cloaks do not protect the inner cloak volume. Here we report implementation of an acoustic metamaterial exhibiting cylindrical dispersion in an ultra-thin (~1mm) and ultra-lightweight (~3g) acoustic cloak design intended to protect a human-head-size object in air, which combines scattering cancellation in the far-field with efficient sound proofing of the inner cloak volume.
