description: Biased bilayer graphene (BBG) is an important system for studies of excitonic effects in graphene--based systems, with its easily tunable bandgap. This bandgap is governed by an external gate voltage, allowing one to tune the optical response of the system. In this paper, we study the excitonic linear and nonlinear optical response of Bernal stacked BBG as a function of the gate voltage, both for in--plane (IP) and out--of--plane (OOP) directions. Based on a semi-analytical model of the electronic structure of BBG describing the influence of gate voltage on excitonic binding energies, we focus our discussion on both the IP and OOP excitonic response. Both linear and second harmonic generation (SHG) nonlinear responses are shown to be very sensitive to the gate voltage, as both the interband momentum matrix elements and the bandgap of the system will vary greatly with bias potential.

description: Some time ago, it has been suggested that gravitons can acquire mass in the process of spontaneous symmetry breaking of diffeomorphisms through the condensation of scalar fields [Chamseddine and Mukhanov, JHEP, 2010]. Taking this possibility into account, in the present paper, first we show how the graviton mass intricately reshapes the gravitational potential akin to a Yukawa-like potential at large distances. Notably, this long-range force modifies the Newton's law in large distances and might explain the phenomena of dark matter. The most important finding in the present paper is the derivation of a modified Newtons law of gravity by modifying the Verlindes entropic force relation due to the graviton contribution. The graviton contribution to the entropy basically measures the correlation of graviton and matter fields which then reproduces the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy at the horizon. This result shows the dual description of gravity: in the language of quantum information and entropy the gravity can be viewed as an entropic force, however in terms of particles and fields, it can be viewed as a longe range force. Further we have recovered the corrected Einstein field equations as well as the $Λ$CDM where dark matter emerges as an apparent effect.

description: In recent years, the brand sponsorship industry has continued to grow, and with the emergence of the new Name Image Likeness (NIL) rules in college sports, it is essential for brands to understand how their sponsorships are impacting athletes. Athletes’ voices, followings and opportunities are growing and brands need to evolve to remain relevant. This thesis investigates the mental frameworks of student athletes as well as their perceptions of and affinity towards their sponsors to better understand the impact of brand sponsorships on student athletes’ long-term loyalty. Athletes were interviewed using a standard questionnaire, which was created based on concepts from Social Identity Theory and the consumer decision-making process. It accounts for consumer vs. brand loyalty, as well as functional, symbolic, and experiential variables. Using the standardized questionnaire, 23 athletes were asked about their college experiences, thoughts, memories, and feelings as they pertain to brand sponsorship. Five key findings resulted from this research: athletes feel connected to their university brands, but disconnected from their university sponsorship brand, aesthetic is a very powerful variable that affects self-concept, external perception, identity, and in some cases performance, branded clothing (aesthetic) can create exaggerated feelings of team connectivity as well as connections to strangers – this relationship becomes more complex as the clothing becomes more unique or requires more work to acquire, performance enhancement and brand trust are potentially related and inclusion, input and individuality impact athlete-brand connection. In relation to the overarching research question, over three fourths of the postgraduates interviewed said they still occasionally purchase gear from the brands they wore in college and over three fourths of the current athletes said that they will continue to purchase; however, no concise conclusions can be made that college sponsorship leads to long term brand loyalty

description: We consider a class of interacting particle models with anisotropic, repulsive-attractive interaction forces whose orientations depend on an underlying tensor field. An example of this class of models is the so-called Kücken-Champod model describing the formation of fingerprint patterns. This class of models can be regarded as a generalization of a gradient flow of a nonlocal interaction potential which has a local repulsion and a long-range attraction structure. In contrast to isotropic interaction models the anisotropic forces in our class of models cannot be derived from a potential. The underlying tensor field introduces an anisotropy leading to complex patterns which do not occur in isotropic models. This anisotropy is characterized by one parameter in the model. We study the variation of this parameter, describing the transition between the isotropic and the anisotropic model, analytically and numerically. We analyze the equilibria of the corresponding mean-field partial differential equation and investigate pattern formation numerically in two dimensions by studying the dependence of the parameters in the model on the resulting patterns.

description: Live-streaming platforms have enjoyed a significant rise in popularity in recent years, particularly after the advent of the Covid-19 pandemic. Twitch, the leading video game livestreaming platform, allows users to form relationships with other chatters through its live content and simultaneous chat, as well as experience parasocial interactions and parasocial relationships with livestreamers. In an online survey, the current study explored what factors drive belongingness for Twitch users (N = 154) in live-streaming communities. Findings show that connectedness, community identity, behavioral involvement, and parasocial relationships are significant predictors of community belongingness. Of these, parasocial relationships and behavioral involvement are the most significant drivers of community belongingness, indicating that audiences seek out and participate in live-streaming communities to satisfy social needs. Parasocial interactions themselves, although necessary to forming parasocial relationships, do not predict belongingness. Finally, the study points to further research about the nature of parasocial relationships on Twitch, the transformation of parasocial interaction to parasocial relationship, as well as how these relationships drive consumer behavior like donations

description: Side-pumping fibre combiners offer several advantages in fibre laser design, including distributed pump absorption, reduced heat load, and improved flexibility and reliability. These benefits are particularly important for all-fibre lasers and amplifiers operating in the mid-IR wavelength range and based on soft-glass optical fibres. However, conventional fabrication methods face limitations due to significant differences in the thermal properties of pump-delivering silica fibres and signal-guiding fluoride-based fibres. To address these challenges, this work introduces a design for a fuse-less side-polished (D-shaped) fibre-based pump combiner comprising multimode silica and double-clad fluoride-based fibres. The results demonstrate stable coupling efficiency exceeding 80% at a 980-nm wavelength over 8 hours of continuous operation under active thermal control. The developed pump combiner has also been successfully integrated into a linear Er-doped fibre laser cavity, showing continuous-wave generation at 2731 or 2781-nm central wavelength with an output power of 0.87 W. Overall, this innovative approach presents a simple, repeatable, and reproducible pump combiner design that opens up new possibilities for leveraging fibre-based component technology in soft glass matrices and other emerging fibres with unique compositions.
Strain tensor selection and the elastic theory of incompatible thin sheets

description: The existing theory of incompatible elastic sheets uses the deviation of the surface metric from a reference metric to define the strain tensor [Efrati et al., J. Mech. Phys. Solids {\bf 57}, 762 (2009)]. For a class of simple axisymmetric problems we examine an alternative formulation, defining the strain based on deviations of distances (rather than distances squared) from their rest values. While the two formulations converge in the limit of small slopes and in the limit of an incompressible sheet, for other cases they are found not to be equivalent. The alternative formulation offers several features which are absent in the existing theory. (a) In the case of planar deformations of flat incompatible sheets, it yields linear, exactly solvable, equations of equilibrium. (b) When reduced to uniaxial (one-dimensional) deformations, it coincides with the theory of extensible elastica; in particular, for a uniaxially bent sheet it yields an unstrained cylindrical configuration. (c) It gives a simple criterion determining whether an isometric immersion of an incompatible sheet is at mechanical equilibrium with respect to normal forces. For a reference metric of constant positive Gaussian curvature, a spherical cap is found to satisfy this criterion except in an arbitrarily narrow boundary layer.

description: Various quantum-walk based algorithms have been proposed to analyse and rank the centrality of graph vertices. However, issues arise when working with directed graphs --- the resulting non-Hermitian Hamiltonian leads to non-unitary dynamics, and the total probability of the quantum walker is no longer conserved. In this paper, we discuss a method for simulating directed graphs using PT-symmetric quantum walks, allowing probability conserving non-unitary evolution. This method is equivalent to mapping the directed graph to an undirected, yet weighted, complete graph over the same vertex set, and can be extended to cover interdependent networks of directed graphs. Previous work has shown centrality measures based on the CTQW provide an eigenvector-like quantum centrality; using the PT-symmetric framework, we extend these centrality algorithms to directed graphs with a significantly reduced Hilbert space compared to previous proposals. In certain cases, this centrality measure provides an advantage over classical algorithms used in network analysis, for example by breaking vertex rank degeneracy. Finally, we perform a statistical analysis over ensembles of random graphs, and show strong agreement with the classical PageRank measure on directed acyclic graphs.

In the framework of the High Energy Generalized Structure (HEGS) model the form of the diffraction minimum in the nucleon-nucleon elastic scattering in a wide energy region is analyzed. The energy dependences of the main characteristics of the diffraction dip are obtained. The numerical predictions at LHC energies are presented. The comparison of the model predictions with the new LHC data at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV is made.

description: While various service orchestration aspects within Computing Continuum (CC) systems have been extensively addressed, including service placement, replication, and scheduling, an open challenge lies in ensuring uninterrupted data delivery from IoT devices to running service instances in this dynamic environment, while adhering to specific Quality of Service (QoS) requirements and balancing the load on service instances. To address this challenge, we introduce QEdgeProxy, an adaptive and QoS-aware load balancing framework specifically designed for routing client requests to appropriate IoT service instances in the CC. QEdgeProxy integrates naturally within Kubernetes, adapts to changes in dynamic environments, and manages to seamlessly deliver data to IoT service instances while consistently meeting QoS requirements and effectively distributing load across them. This is verified by extensive experiments over a realistic K3s cluster with instance failures and network variability, where QEdgeProxy outperforms both Kubernetes built-in mechanisms and a state-of-the-art solution, while introducing minimal computational overhead.

Free compact boson on branched coverings of the torus

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

description: We have studied the free compact boson on a $n$-sheeted covering of the torus gluing alone $m$ branch cuts. It is interesting because when the branched cuts are chosen to be real, the partition function is related to the $n$-th Rényi entanglement entropy of $m$ disjoint intervals in a finite system at finite temperature. After proposing a canonical homology basis and its dual basis of the covering surface, we find that the partition function can be written in terms of theta functions.

description: The initial stage of the small-scale ionization-induced instability developing inside the fused silica volume exposed to the femtosecond laser pulse is studied as a possible initial cause of the self-organized nanograting formation. We have calculated the spatial spectra of the instability with the electron-hole diffusion taken into account for the first time and have found that it results in the formation of some hybrid (diffusion-wave) 1D structure with the spatial period determined as geometrical mean of the laser wavelength and characteristic diffusion length of the process considered. Near the threshold of the instability this period occurs to be approximately equal to the laser half-wavelength in the silica, close to the one experimentally observed.

description: We unravel the ground state properties and emergent non-equilibrium dynamics of a mixture consisting of a few spin-polarized fermions embedded in a two-dimensional bosonic quantum droplet. For an increasingly attractive droplet-fermion interaction we find a transition from a spatially delocalized fermion configuration to a state where the fermions are highly localized and isolated. This process is accompanied by the rise of induced fermion-fermion interactions mediated by the droplet. Additionally, for increasing attractive droplet-fermion coupling, undulations in the droplet density occur in the vicinity of the fermions manifesting the back-action of the latter. Following interaction quenches from strong attractive to weaker droplet-fermion couplings reveals the spontaneous nucleation of complex excitation patterns in the fermion density such as ring and cross shaped structures. These stem from the enhanced interference of the fermions that remain trapped within the droplet, which emulates, to a good degree, an effective potential for the fermions. The non-negligible back-action of the droplet manifests itself in the fact that the effective potential predictions are less accurate at the level of the many-body wave function. Our results provide a paradigm for physics beyond the reduced single-component droplet model, unveiling the role of back-action in droplets and the effect of induced mediated interactions.

description: The spin connection enters the theory of gravity as a nonabelian gauge field associated with local Lorentz transformations. Normally it is eliminated from making an extra assumption - that of the metricity of the vierbein field. However, treated by itself with the usual gauge action, it has a negative beta function, implying that it is asymptotically free. I suggest that the spin connection could be confined (or perhaps partially confined) in the same way as other nonabelian gauge fields. This would remove the need to make the extra assumption of metricity, as the spin connection would not be present in the low energy theory, leaving the symmetry to be realized only using metric variables.

description: Functional renormalisation group approach is applied to a system of kaons with finite chemical potential. A set of approximate flow equations for the effective couplings is derived and solved. At high scale the system is found to be at the normal phase whereas at some critical value of the running scale it undergoes the phase transition (PT) to the phase with a spontaneously broken symmetry with the kaon condensate as an order parameter. The value of the condensate turns out to be quite sensitive to the kaon-kaon scattering length.

The attempt to use this quantum non-locality for the transmission of superluminal signals is exposed to serious objections which are based on very general theorems. However, we show that one of the theorems is equivalent to the impossibility of superluminal signals. Hence, the question whether superluminal EPR signals are possible can not be decided in this way.

description: Topological phases associated with non-Abelian charges can exhibit a distinguished bulk-edge correspondence compared with Abelian phases, although elucidating this relationship remains challenging in traditional solid-state systems. In this paper, we propose a theoretical framework for synthesizing non-Abelian quaternion charges in ultracold atomic gases. By designing artificial spin-orbit coupling patterns, the topological edge modes demonstrate a clear correspondence with the band topology determined by various quaternion charges. This paves the way for observing the interface modes whose existence is attributed to the nonconservation multiplication relation, which is fundamental to non-Abelian charges. This scheme can be readily implemented using current ultracold atom techniques, offering a promising approach to explore the intriguing non-Abelian characteristics of the system.

description: Although animal locations gained via GPS, etc. are typically observed on a discrete time scale, movement models formulated in continuous time are preferable in order to avoid the struggles experienced in discrete time when faced with irregular observations or the prospect of comparing analyses on different time scales. A class of models able to emulate a range of movement ideas are defined by representing movement as a combination of stochastic processes describing both speed and bearing. A method for Bayesian inference for such models is described through the use of a Markov chain Monte Carlo approach. Such inference relies on an augmentation of the animal's locations in discrete time that have been observed with error, with a more detailed movement path gained via simulation techniques. Analysis on real data on an individual reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) illustrates the presented methods.

The Red Workers: An Intensified Politics and Poetics of Electrical Power Supply during the Hubei Lockdown

description: This thesis examines the distinct politics and poetics of the electrical power supply workers in the context of China’s containment of COVID during its domestic outbreak from January to April 2020 in Hubei – the epicenter of both the COVID outbreak and the state’s initial anti-epidemic actions. In response to the COVID outbreak, the state launched a power supply campaign, mobilizing the electrical workers to conduct intensive emergency cabling, wiring, and troubleshooting, and even taking up tasks other than power supply to do community disease prevention work, acting as and assuming responsibilities of grassroots cadres. In following these front-line power workers who participated in this campaign fervently and whose laboring bodies enabled the steady flow of both electrical and political forms of power, this thesis reveals how the grassroots “redness” animated in those workers is more an ever-shifting field of emergence reverberating with other discursive and material forces in their immediate techno-political, social, and ethical worlds than a single, fixed abstraction signifying patriotism and the loyalty to the party-state. It also shows that what we think of as a single object as electricity is a heterogeneous and multiplied thing that flows differently, moving from a physical force recalcitrant to sensory perception and linguistic capture to a political spectacle when its seamless flow (or lack thereof) is event-ified, from a materialized instantiation of the social fervor around the nation-state to an ethical peg through which both familial and collective relationships and intimacy are made and remade.

description: Na atualidade, as transições de dados estão cada vez mais constantes. Com a expansão 9 das redes, cada vez mais entidades enviam e recebem dados de caráter público ou privado. Para este último tipo de dado, redes de acesso público como a Internet podem não ser o meio mais seguro de transporte dessas informações. As imagens digitais são um tipo de dado altamente representativo e cada vez mais relevante. A criptografia surge como uma medida para evitar vazamentos e alterações nos dados transportados em canais de comunicação. Existem variados algoritmos de criptografia, onde cada um atende a requisitos de segurança diferentes. Algoritmos de criptografia baseada em Autômatos Celulares são alternativas com capacidade de comportamento evolutivo altamente caótico, isto é, oferecem alto grau de embaralhamento, objetivo importante à confidencialidade. Este trabalho emprega técnicas utilizadas em segmentação de imagens como k-means, detecção de bordas e thresholding como métodos de criptoanálise. As técnicas de segmentação são aplicadas em cifras de imagens digitais geradas pelo modelo criptográfico OBCCA (Optimized Border Chaotic Cellular Automata). Dessa forma, foi possível observar ruídos e realçar características das imagens originais em cifras de baixa qualidade. Cifras mais robustas não foram afetas pelas técnicas e refletem o grau de confidencialidade presente no modelo OBCCA.

description: The Robot Operating System (ROS) has significantly gained popularity among robotic engineers and researchers over the past five years, primarily due to its powerful infrastructure for node communication, which enables developers to build modular and large robotic applications. However, ROS presents a steep learning curve and lacks the intuitive usability of vendor-specific robotic Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs). Moreover, its modular and distributed nature complicates the control and monitoring of extensive systems, even for advanced users. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a highly adaptable and reconfigurable web-based GUI for intuitively controlling, monitoring, and configuring complex ROS-based robotic systems. The GUI leverages ROSBridge and roslibjs to ensure seamless communication with ROS systems via topics and services. Designed as a versatile platform, the GUI allows for the selective incorporation of modular features to accommodate diverse robotic systems and applications. An initial set of commonly used features in robotic applications is presented. To demonstrate its reconfigurability, the GUI was customized and tested for four industrial use cases, receiving positive feedback. The project's repository has been made publicly available to support the robotics community and lower the entry barrier for ROS in industrial applications.

description: In the description of general covariance, the vierbein and the Lorentz connection can be treated as independent fundamental fields. With the usual gauge Lagrangian, the Lorentz connection is characterized by an asymptotically free running coupling. When running from high energy, the coupling gets large at a scale which can be called the Planck mass. If the Lorentz connection is confined at that scale, the low energy theory can have the Einstein Lagrangian induced at low energy through dimensional transmutation. However, in general there will be new divergences in such a theory and the Lagrangian basis should be expanded. I construct a conformally invariant model with a larger basis size which potentially may have the same property.
