Part-Whole-Modifiers and the *-Operator
Creators: name: Igel, Moritz
Publisher: name: Proceedings of Sinn und Bedeutung
Year: 2021

description: In this paper, I present an analysis of German ‘ganz’ ( whole), which I see as evidence for the existence of the plural operator in the syntax as well as its ability to enter into scope relationships with other operators at LF. I also elaborate on more general ideas of ‘wholeness’ in natural language.

description: Seit einigen Jahren wächst der Niedriglohnsektor in Deutschland und es häufen sich Berichte über schlechte Arbeitsbedingungen im sogenannten unteren Dienstleistungssegment. In diesem Beitrag wird der Frage nachgegangen, wie sich Beschäftigte im Lebensmitteleinzelhandel selbst innerhalb der Gesellschaft positionieren und inwiefern ihre Sicht auf ihre Arbeit relevant ist für ein Verständnis sozialer Ungleichheit in unserer Gesellschaft. Unter Einbeziehung des Habitus-Konzepts von Bourdieu und dem Verständnis von Subjekt als Subjektkonstitution von Becker-Schmidt und Knapp wurden 18 Leitfaden-Interviews mit Beschäftigten im Lebensmitteleinzelhandel in tiefer gehenden Einzelfallanalysen ausgewertet. Im Ergebnis werden drei Thesen vorgestellt: Die Beschäftigten haben ein hohes Arbeitsethos, sie verinnerlichen die Unternehmenserwartung von Effizienz, Produktivität und Wirtschaftlichkeit und erfahren kollegiale Wertschätzung. Das bedeutet, dass Menschen auch unter schlechten Arbeitsbedingungen gute Arbeit leisten und dass sie ihren sozialen Status durch Bezug auf kapitalistisch orientierte Leistungsfähigkeit aufzuwerten versuchen.

A manner condition on causatives: Resultative compounds in Daakaka
Creators: name: Hopperdietzel, Jens
Publisher: name: Proceedings of Sinn und Bedeutung
Year: 2021

description: In event (de)composition, causative predicates are traditionally analyzed as complex predicates, that denote sets of causing events e leading to a result state s (e.g. open). The additional modification of the causing event by a manner predicate (e.g. push) derives a complex resultative predicate in which both sub-eventualities are specified by respective roots (e.g. push X open or open X by pushing; Beavers 2012, Rappaport Hovav & Levin 2001, Dowty 1979). In this paper, I address causative predicates in the underdocumented Oceanic language Daakaka (Vanuatu). Based on original fieldwork, I demonstrate that, whereas in most languages, manner modification is optional in the context of causative predicates (as e.g. in English or Romance), in Daakaka, it is obligatory. This paper provides a unified semantic analysis of three types of resultative compounds in Daakaka, and makes the argument that manner verbs modify the causing event denoted by causative verbs. To account for crosslinguistic variation, I propose that languages differ as to whether they license existential closure over covert event variables (e.g. English) or require their overt realization by lexical (or functional) material (e.g. Daakaka).

Counterfactual attitude contents and the semantics of plurals in belief contexts
Creators: name: Haslinger, Nina
name: Schmitt, Viola
Publisher: name: Proceedings of Sinn und Bedeutung
Year: 2021

description: Indefinites in the complement clause of believe may participate in cumulative relations with a plural attitude subject, even under an intensional reading (Schmitt 2020; see also Pasternak 2018). Schmitt (2020) provides a compositional semantics for such constructions, where indefinites introduce pluralities of partial individual concepts. Crucially, however, such pluralities can only be formed if, intuitively, the concepts are ‘distinct enough’ (Haslinger and Schmitt to appear). We here implement this ‘distinctness constraint’ compositionally, combining Schmitt’s (2020) ideas with a new proposal concerning the semantics of plural indefinites: We argue that the latter introduce a distinctness requirement that appeals to the attitude subjects’ counterfactual beliefs – a requirement that is visible in cumulative belief sentences, but is trivialized (and thus unnoticeable) in extensional contexts. To compose our new DP-denotations with other material in the sentence, we use a version of Yalcin’s (2007) ‘domain semantics’.

So gut wie alle Nachfolger*innen setzen sich mit diesem Autor fruchtbar auseinander. Als Theoriestifter wird Simmel allerdings häufig verkannt. Der Artikel zeigt seine Einflüsse auf die nachfolgenden Denkschulen: Sozialphänomenologieund Interpretative Soziologie, Struktur-Funktionalismus und Systemtheorie, Kritische Theorie und die aktuellen Strömungen. Aber trotz der Kontinuitäten verwischen sich die Spuren Simmels, wozu einige erklärende Ideen angeboten werden.

description: The dijet invariant mass distributions from the hadronic decay of unpolarized top quark ($t\to b W^+$ followed by $W^+\to u \bar{d}$) are calculated, including the next-to-leading order QCD radiative corrections. We treat the top decay in the complex mass scheme due to the existence of the intermediate state W boson. Our analytical expressions are also available in different dimensional regularization schemes and $γ_5$ strategies. Finally, in order to construct the jets, we use different jet algorithms to compare their influences on our results. The obtained dijet mass distributions from the top quark decay are useful to distinguish these dijets from those produced via other sources and to clarify the issue about the recent CDF Collaborations' $Wjj$ anomaly.

Dependent Numerals in Bengali: A Case for Covert Adverbial D-operators
Creators: name: Guha, Ishani
Publisher: name: Proceedings of Sinn und Bedeutung
Year: 2021

description: The semantic analysis of adnominal dependent numerals is much debated among two theoretical positions regarding the extent of distributivity involved. One school of analyses proposes that a covert Adverbial D operator is key to the licensing of these numerals and another school claims that the D operator is part of the lexical meaning of the numerals. In this work, I use lack of cumulative interpretations of nominals as a diagnostic for distributivity. This is implemented by probing the interpretation of nominal co-arguments of dependent numerals in ditransitive constructions and thereby finding that distributivity can be traced beyond the immediate bounds of the dependent numerals. Based on that evidence, I argue in favor of the covert Adverbial D operator based analysis, against recent influential lexicalist proposals. Thus the work provides a crucial piece in this on-going debate about the semantics of these numerals.

Decomposing Necessity — The Hausa exclusive particle sai as a window into the building blocks of modal meaning
Creators: name: Grubic, Mira
name: Mucha, Anne
Publisher: name: Proceedings of Sinn und Bedeutung
Year: 2021

description: We discuss the modal uses of the Hausa exclusive particle sai (≈ only). We argue that the distribution of sai in modal environments provides evidence for the following claims on the composition of modal meaning that have been independently made in the literature: i) Future-oriented modality involves a prospective aspect operator that can be realized covertly in some languages (e.g. English, Kratzer 2012b) and overtly in others (e.g. Gitksan, Matthewson 2012, 2013). ii) Necessity interpretations arise from exhaustifying possibilities, i.e. an exhaustivity operator applying to existential modality (e.g. Kaufmann 2012 for the case of im-peratives and Leffel 2012 for a relevant analysis of necessity meaning in Masalit). We show that future-oriented necessity in Hausa decomposes into EXH((PROSP )), with sai contributing exhaustivity.

description: A neutron scattering study of heavily hole-overdoped superconducting KFe$_2$As$_2$ revealed a well-defined low-energy incommensurate spin fluctuation at [$π(1\pm2δ$),0] with $δ$ = 0.16. The incommensurate structure differs from the previously observed commensurate peaks in electron-doped $A$Fe$_2$As$_2$ ($A$ = Ba, Ca, or Sr) at low energies. The direction of the peak splitting is perpendicular to that observed in Fe(Te,Se) or in Ba(Fe,Co)$_2$As$_2$ at high energies. A band structure calculation suggests interband scattering between bands around the $Γ$ and X points as an origin of this incommensurate peak. The perpendicular direction of the peak splitting can be understood within the framework of multiorbital band structure. The results suggest that spin fluctuation is more robust in hole-doped than in electron-doped samples, which can be responsible for the appearance of superconductivity in the heavily hole-doped samples.

description: 94 Prozent aller mit Waffengewalt ausgetragenen Konflikte sind in den 1990er Jahren innerstaatliche Konflikte. Ein besonderes Merkmal dieser Kriege ist insbesondere in ihrer langen Dauer zu sehen. Mit den Begriffen Staatskollaps, Staatszerfall ("failed state") und fragile Staatlichkeit, hatte man versucht Typisierungsvorschläge für die Gewaltursachen und unterschiedlichen Varianten bzw. Grade von Defiziten staatlicher Ordnung in diesen Regionen zu identifizieren. Und in der Tat scheint es so, dass die zentrale Quelle ursächlicher Eskalationsprozesse bei diesen Kriegen, die mangelnde Durchstaatlichung der Gesellschaften der Entwicklungsländer ist. Wenn man von fragiler Staatlichkeit spricht, dann setzt das allerdings erstens auch ein Konzept von stabiler Staatlichkeit voraus. In der Regel ist dies das Ordnungskonzept des europäischen modernen Nationalstaates. Zweitens muss darauf hingewiesen werden, dass es sich bei dieser Form des "Staates" häufig nicht einfach um einen "failed state", sondern - zunächst - um eine andere Ordnung im Rahmen unterschiedlicher "Ordnungsformen von Gewalt" (Trutz von Trotha) handelt, die allerdings durch ihre inneren Strukturen enorm konfliktanfällig ist. Die Rede vom Scheitern des Staates führt häufig in die Irre, unterstellt sie doch Unfähigkeit wo das Versagen (partiell) interessengeleitet organisiert ist. Die Akkumulationssicherungsmacht des Staates (G. Hauck) kann sehr stark ausgeprägt sein, auch wenn seine Regulationsmacht sehr schwach ist. Drittens ist zu vermerken, dass selbst ein Bürgerkrieg nicht nur als Zusammenbruch der gesellschaftlichen Ordnung, sondern auch als Nährboden neuer, gewaltgestützter sozialer Ordnungsformen zu beschreiben ist. In dem Text soll es somit darum gehen, einerseits die zentralen Mechanismen dieser Kriege/Gewalteskalationen und unterschiedlichen Ordnungskonfigurationen in aller Kürze zu skizzieren, um zu zeigen wie in den Gewaltdynamiken der Bürgerkriege, die einzelnen Ebenen miteinander zusammenhängen. Andererseits soll sich der Vortrag mit der Entstehung sozialer Ordnungen jenseits des (europäischen) Staates befassen.

Discourse anaphoricity and first-person indexicality in emoji resolution
Creators: name: Grosz, Patrick
name: Kaiser, Elsi
name: Pierini, Francesco
Publisher: name: Proceedings of Sinn und Bedeutung
Year: 2021

description: This paper proposes a formal semantic classification of emoji-text combinations, focusing on two core sets of emoji: face emoji and activity emoji. Based on different data sources (introspective intuitions, naturalistic Twitter examples, and experimental evidence), we argue that activity emoji (case study I) are essentially event descriptions that serve as separate discourse units (similar to free adjuncts) and connect to the accompanying text by virtue of suitable discourse relations. By contrast, face emoji (case study II) are expressive elements that are anchored to an attitude holder and comment on a proposition provided by the accompanying text. We conclude by revisiting emoji semantics from the perspective of formal gesture semantics: we probe interactions of emoji and texts that contain clausal negation, and conclude that emoji generally do not scope under negation; however, the appearance of such a scope relation arises when activity emoji are connected to the accompanying text by virtue of an Explanation discourse relation.

Event-related readings and degrees of difference

Publisher: name: Proceedings of Sinn und Bedeutung
Year: 2021

description: I present an analysis of event-related readings that treats both them and object-related readings as resulting from quantiﬁcation over temporal stages of individuals, with the distinction between the two arising from a difference in the degree of maximality that quantiﬁers require those stages to fulﬁl. The analysis accounts for the compositional-semantic effect of different in these examples, and the possibility of multiple event-related readings. I also examine the connection between this analysis and existing accounts of quantiﬁer domain restriction.

Renormalization and cyclotron resonance in bilayer graphene with weak electron-hole asymmetry

description: Cyclotron resonance in bilayer graphene is studied with weak electron-hole asymmetry, suggested by experiment, taken into account and with the focus on many-body corrections that evade Kohn's theorem. It is shown by direct calculation that the theory remains renormalizable to O(e^2) in the presence of electron-hole asymmetry parameters, and a general program to carry out renormalization for graphene under a magnetic field is presented. Inclusion of electron-hole asymmetry in part improves the theoretical fit to the existing data and the data appear to indicate the running of the renormalized velocity factor with the magnetic field, which is a key consequence of renormalization.

description: The detection of ionized bubbles around quasars in redshifted 21-cm maps is possibly one of the most direct future probes of reionization. We consider two models for the growth of spherical ionized bubbles to study the apparent shapes of the bubbles in redshifted 21-cm maps, taking into account the finite light travel time (FLTT) across the bubble. We find that the FLTT, whose effect is particularly pronounced for large bubbles, causes the bubble's image to continue to grow well after it's actual growth is over. There are two distinct FLTT distortions in the bubble's image: (i) its apparent center is shifted along the line of sight (LOS) towards the observer from the quasar; (ii) it's shape is anisotropic along the LOS. The bubble initially appears elongated along the LOS. This is reversed in the later stages of growth where the bubble appears compressed. The FLTT distortions are expected to have an impact on matched filter bubble detection where it is most convenient to use a spherical template for the filter. We find that the best matched spherical filter gives a reasonably good estimate of the size and the shift in the center of the anisotropic image. The mismatch between the spherical filter and the anisotropic image causes a 10 - 20% degradation in the SNR relative to that of a spherical bubble. We conclude that a spherical filter is adequate for bubble detection. The FLTT distortions do not effect the lower limits for bubble detection with 1000 hr of GMRT observations. The smallest spherical filter for which a detection is possible has comoving radii 24 Mpc and 33 Mpc for a 3-sigma and 5-sigma detection respectively, assuming a neutral fraction 0.6 at z \sim 8.

description: In this paper we reconsider the derivation of anomaly mediated supersymmetry breaking. We work in a general formalism where the F-term of the conformal compensator superfield is arbitrary. This allows for a continuous interpolation between the original derivation and a more recent Dine-Seiberg derivation of anomaly mediation. We show that the physical soft parameters are independent of the compensator F-term and results of two formalisms agree. Finally, we discuss the role of supersymmetric and non-supersymmetric thresholds in the effective low energy Lagrangian as well as the effects of explicit small mass parameters (such as mu-term) on the superpartner spectrum.

description: We study chronology protection in stationary, rotationally symmetric spacetimes in 2+1 dimensional gravity, focusing especially on the case of negative cosmological constant. We show that in such spacetimes closed timelike curves must either exist all the way to the boundary or, alternatively, the matter stress tensor must violate the null energy condition in the bulk. We also show that the matter in the closed timelike curve region gives a negative contribution to the conformal weight from the point of view of the dual conformal field theory. We illustrate these properties in a class of examples involving rotating dust in anti-de Sitter space, and comment on the use of the AdS/CFT correspondence to study chronology protection.

description: We report on a novel experimental paradigm that investigates preschoolers’ inter-pretations of clause types, with a focus on the distinctions between polar interrogatives, falling declaratives, and rising declaratives. Prior research demonstrates that by about age three, children have acquired the links between the main clause types and their canonical speech acts, and shows that they are also aware of indirect requests. But as of yet, there is no work exploring their comprehension of rising declaratives. Our results suggest that children possess an adult-like understanding of pragmatics and prosody that allows them to uncover the intended illocutionary force of speakers’ utterances.

This, combined with an argument provided by Landsberg and Manivel (whose proof was corrected by Friedland), implies set-theoretic defining equations in degrees 5, 6 and 9 for a much larger set of secant varieties, including $σ_{4}(\mathbb{P}^{3}\times \mathbb{P} ^{3} \times \mathbb{P} ^{3})$ which is of particular interest in light of the salmon prize offered by E. Allman for the ideal-theoretic defining equations.

I thought pointing is rude: A dialogue-semantic analysis of pointing at the addressee
Creators: name: Ginzburg, Jonathan
name: Lücking, Andy
Publisher: name: Proceedings of Sinn und Bedeutung
Year: 2021

description: A pilot corpus study on the use of pointing gestures in dialogue yielded 44 instances of pointing at the addressee. In none of these instances is the addressee the gesture’s referent, however. Rather, such discourse pointings are bound up with dialogue management: they control the addressee’s attention and her view of the status of these referents in the incrementally emergent context. We distinguish four classes of addressee pointings, descriptively glossed utterance anaphora, common ground, something’s coming to mind, and grab turn. We exemplify each class by means of empirical data and provide a dialogue semantics analysis. In this way, we extend the taxonomy of uses of pointings currently discussed in semantics and argue that the linguistic competence revealed by discourse pointings is inherently dialogical, adding evidence for extending the domain of grammar from well-formedness and truth conditions to include micro–level elements of conversational interaction.

description: This contribution is concerned with the at-issueness status of co-speech gestures expressing manner modiﬁcation. While such gestures are typically considered to be non-at-issue, they can be made to be at-issue by the German demonstrative intensiﬁer SO. We discuss the potential of an anaphoric relative of this intensiﬁer, so in so do pro-forms, to shift the content of a co-speech gesture to at-issue status. We propose a formal analysis along the lines of Ebert et al., 2020, and sketch the design for an acceptability judgment experiment to test our predictions.

description: In this article actions for N=4 SYM and N=8 supergravity are formulated in terms of a chiral superfield, which contains only the physical degrees of freedom of either theory. In these new actions, which originate from the lightcone superspace, the supergravity cubic vertex is the square of the gauge theory one (omitting the color structures). Amplitude calculations using the corresponding Feynman supergraph rules are tedious, but can be simplified by choosing a preferred superframe. Recursive calculations of all MHV amplitudes in N=4 SYM and the four-point N=8 supergravity amplitude are shown to agree with the known results and connections to the BCFW recursion relations are pointed out. Finally, the new path integrals are discussed in the context of the double-copy property relating N=4 SYM theory to N=8 supergravity.

The combination of indeﬁnite and deﬁnite ‘determiners’ — a cross-linguistic study
Creators: name: Duah, Reginald

Publisher: name: Proceedings of Sinn und Bedeutung
Year: 2021

description: In the West African languages Akan, Ga (Kwa), Ngamo, and Hausa (West-Chadic), deﬁnite familiarity markers and choice-functional indeﬁnites can combine giving rise to a deﬁnite interpretation, which poses a puzzle for a compositional analysis of DPs. When combined, three different readings can arise: anaphoric, recognitional, or complement anaphoric reading, though the languages differ with respect to which reading is available. We propose that the available readings depend on (i) whether the deﬁnite is strongly or weakly familiar, and (ii) whether the choice-functional indeﬁnite has a novelty condition or not. By that the paper contributes to the ongoing discussion on the interpretation of (in)deﬁnites, crosslinguistically.

Taking explicitly into consideration the fact that observations on the apparatus are made when it has `settled down after the measurement interaction' and are restricted to macroscopically distinguishable pointer readings, the unwanted superpositions of (system + apparatus) states are shown to be suppressed; this provides a genuinely physics based justification for the (traditionally \emph{postulated}) von Neumann projection/collapse rule. The decoherence mechanism brought into play by the stated observational constraints is free from the objections against the traditional decoherence program.

Why premise questions?

Publisher: name: Proceedings of Sinn und Bedeutung

description: This paper is concerned with the interpretation of conditional questions introduced by the wh-word why (why-conditional questions, WCQs for short). In particular, we observe that WCQs – unlike the other conditional questions – cannot be uttered out of the blue and hence have a hypothetical reading; instead, the felicitous utterance of a WCQ requires some interlocutor’s commitment to the proposition in its antecedent (p). This makes WCQs necessarily premise conditionals in the sense of Iatridou (1991); Haegeman (2003). Along with Goebel (2017), we assume that premisehood is a speciﬁc use of a regular indicative conditional sentence. We explain the premise interpretation of conditionals as a combination of their thematic nature and the discourse constraints derived from the fact that p has its own discourse history. Additionally, we derive the necessary premise interpretation of WCQs from the impossibility of entertaining the question “What happens if ¬p?”, which is necessary for the hypothetical interpretation of indicative conditionals.

description: This paper presents a high dynamic power hardware-inthe-loop (PHIL) emulation test bench to mimic arbitrary permanent magnet synchronous machines with nonlinear magnetics. The proposed PHIL test bench is composed of a high performance real-time simulation system to calculate the machine behaviour and a seven level modular multiphase multilevel converter to emulate the power flow of the virtual machine. The PHIL test bench is parametrized for an automotive synchronous machine and controlled by a motor converter using a predictive trajectory dead-beat current controller. Measurements of high dynamic current steps and phase current ripples at the real machine are reproduced precisely at the PHIL test bench. Thus, the validity of the used machine model as well as the excellent performance of the PHIL test bench is proven.

description: We study the collision of two particles with the different rest masses moving in the equatorial plane of a Kerr-Taub-NUT spacetime and get the center-of-mass (CM) energy for the particles. We find that the CM energy depends not only on the rotation parameter, $a$, but also on the NUT charge of the Kerr-Taub-NUT spacetime, $n$. Especially, for the extremal Kerr-Taub-NUT spacetime, an unlimited CM energy can be approached if the parameter $a$ is in the range $[1,\sqrt{2}]$, which is different from that of the Kerr and Kerr-Newman black holes.

Rationalizing evaluativity
Creators: name: Bumford, Dylan
name: Rett, Jessica
Publisher: name: Proceedings of Sinn und Bedeutung
Year: 2021

description: Many degree constructions are evaluative in the sense that they require a measure of some sort to exceed a contextually-determined norm. We assume that this inference is always an implicature (Rett, 2015b), and we develop a game-theoretic pragmatic treatment to explain how and when it arises. Our analysis is couched in a Rational Speech Act (RSA) model of communication, building on the theory of vagueness-resolution proposed in Lassiter and Goodman 2014. To extend the Lassiter and Goodman model to a wider range of degree constructions, we do two things: ﬁrst, we incorporate insights from Barker (2002) about the role of comparison-class uncertainty in the interpretation of gradable predicates, and second, we adapt an independent RSA model of Manner implicature (Bergen et al., 2016) to capture the effects of linguistic markedness in degree constructions (Rett, 2015b). Combining these pieces provides the ﬁrst gradient model of evaluativity inferences, and we conclude by discussing some of its novel predictions.

On tropes, states, and the combinatorics of the copula 'werden' in German
Creators: name: Bücking, Sebastian
name: Scheifele, Edith
Publisher: name: Proceedings of Sinn und Bedeutung
Year: 2021

description: This paper provides an ontology-based approach to the combinatorics of copula verbs. First, we argue that werden ‘become’ in German can be combined with trope ascriptions (e. g., groß ‘tall’), but not with state ascriptions (e. g., im Garten ‘in the garden’, tot ‘dead’). The approach is spelled out in terms of a (mis)match between the typing presuppositions of werden and the proffered ontological type of its predicative argument. Second, we relate our results to the combinatorics of stative copulas, focusing on the ser/estar alternation in Spanish. It is shown that the sensitivity of the alternation to a comparison between vs. within individuals can be recast in ontological terms. This captures striking combinatorial analogies between ser and werden and sheds new light on the ontological foundation of comparison classes.

Homogeneity and universal quantiﬁcation in embedded questions
Creators: name: Blok, Dominique
name: Chark, Jordan
Publisher: name: Proceedings of Sinn und Bedeutung
Year: 2021

description: Based on experiments carried out in three languages (German, Dutch, Ulster English) we provide evidence for the claims that question-internal universal quantiﬁers (who all) can be made at-issue and collapse homogeneity in embedded contexts. We show that these question quantifying particles can be accounted for in a domain restriction analysis (Brisson, 2003). Couched within the account of homogeneity provided in Kriz and Spector (2020), homogeneity removal follows as a result of these particles ﬂattening the alternatives which enter into the computation of homogeneity.

What gerund complements tell us about deontic necessity modals
Creators: name: Bhadra, Diti
name: Banerjee, Arka
Publisher: name: Proceedings of Sinn und Bedeutung
Year: 2021

description: This work is an exploration of the interaction between deontic necessity modals and the obligatorily gerundive complements they take in South Asian languages, with a focus on Bangla. We investigate a novel semantic category of gerunds – which we call gen-gerunds –arguing that they contain special morphology that embodies a relation between a deontic neces-sity and a set of eventualities that this necessity holds over. This morphology turns gen-gerunds into deﬁnite descriptions, unlike regular gerunds. Focusing futher on the (in)compatibilities between regular and gen-gerunds and strong and weak deontic necessity, we argue that the composition is affected by the nominal or predicative status of the modals, and these effects directly inform the distribution of these elements. We connect our account to interaction with negation and copulas with strong and weak necessity as well, and argue that the combined fac-tors of the semantics of gerunds and the categorial semantics of the modals themselves provide the answers to our main questions.

Oscillons After Inflation

description: Oscillons are massive, long-lived, localized excitations of a scalar field. We show that in a large class of well-motivated single-field models, inflation is followed by self-resonance, leading to copious oscillon generation and a lengthy period of oscillon domination. These models are characterized by an inflaton potential which has a quadratic minimum and is shallower than quadratic away from the minimum. This set includes both string monodromy models and a class of supergravity inspired scenarios, and is in good agreement with the current central values of the concordance cosmology parameters. We assume that the inflaton is weakly coupled to other fields, so as not to quickly drain energy from the oscillons or prevent them from forming. An oscillon-dominated universe has a greatly enhanced primordial power spectrum on very small scales relative to that seen with a quadratic potential, possibly leading to novel gravitational effects in the early universe.

On the finite subgroups of U(3) of order smaller than 512

description: We use the SmallGroups Library to find the finite subgroups of U(3) of order smaller than 512 which possess a faithful three-dimensional irreducible representation. From the resulting list of groups we extract those groups that can not be written as direct products with cyclic groups. These groups are the basic building blocks for models based on finite subgroups of U(3). All resulting finite subgroups of SU(3) can be identified using the well known list of finite subgroups of SU(3) derived by Miller, Blichfeldt and Dickson at the beginning of the 20th century. Furthermore we prove a theorem which allows to construct infinite series of finite subgroups of U(3) from a special type of finite subgroups of U(3). This theorem is used to construct some new series of finite subgroups of U(3). The first members of these series can be found in the derived list of finite subgroups of U(3) of order smaller than 512. In the last part of this work we analyse some interesting finite subgroups of U(3), especially the group S_4(2)\cong A_4\rtimes Z_4, which is closely related to the important SU(3)-subgroup S_4.

Directed motion entailments in the semantics of roots: A root-sensitive approach
Creators: name: Ausensi, Josep
name: Smith, Ryan
name: Yu, Jianrong
Publisher: name: Proceedings of Sinn und Bedeutung
Year: 2021

description: Syntactic, decompositional theories of verb meaning hold that verbs are created in the syntax by merging roots, which provide idiosyncratic information, with functional heads, which introduce structural components of meaning such as change or causation. In this paper, we examine the consequences of such a view for verbs of inherently directed motion like arrive, enter, ascend, descend, depart, leave, etc. (Levin, 1993; Rappaport Hovav, 2014). We show that this class of verbs does not show uniform behavior with respect to sub-lexical modiﬁcation with modiﬁers like again and durative temporal modiﬁers, which are well-established diagnostics for decompositional theories of verb meaning (e.g., Dowty, 1979; von Stechow, 1996; Beck and Johnson, 2004). This suggests that a syntactic, decompositional view may be appropriate only for some of these verbs, while others must contain all directed motion entailments within their verb roots. We argue that a root-sensitive approach to lexical decomposition of this verb class is necessary in order to account for their distinct grammatical properties.
