description: A spectrum exhibiting $E_8$ symmetry is expected to arise when a small longitudinal field is introduced in the transverse-field Ising chain at its quantum critical point. Evidence for this spectrum has recently come from neutron scattering measurements in cobalt niobate, a quasi one-dimensional Ising ferromagnet. Unlike its zero-temperature counterpart, the finite-temperature dynamics of the model has not yet been determined. We study the dynamical spin structure factor of the model at low frequencies and nonzero temperatures, using the form factor method. Its frequency dependence is singular, but differs from the diffusion form. The temperature dependence of the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) relaxation rate has an activated form, whose prefactor we also determine. We propose NMR experiments as a means to further test the applicability of the $E_8$ description for CoNb$_2$O$_6$.

description: Multistable gene regulatory systems sustain different levels of gene expression under identical external conditions. Such multistability is used to encode phenotypic states in processes including nutrient uptake and persistence in bacteria, fate selection in viral infection, cell cycle control, and development. Stochastic switching between different phenotypes can occur as the result of random fluctuations in molecular copy numbers of mRNA and proteins arising in transcription, translation, transport, and binding. However, which component of a pathway triggers such a transition is generally not known. By linking single-cell experiments on the lactose-uptake pathway in E. coli to molecular simulations, we devise a general method to pinpoint the particular fluctuation driving phenotype switching and apply this method to the transition between the uninduced and induced states of the lac genes. We find that the transition to the induced state is not caused only by the single event of lac-repressor unbinding, but depends crucially on the time period over which the repressor remains unbound from the lac-operon. We confirm this notion in strains with a high expression level of the repressor (leading to shorter periods over which the lac-operon remains unbound), which show a reduced switching rate. Our techniques apply to multi-stable gene regulatory systems in general and allow to identify the molecular mechanisms behind stochastic transitions in gene regulatory circuits.

description: Under natural assumptions on the thermodynamic properties of space and time with the holographic principle we reproduce a MOND-like behaviour of gravity on particular scales of mass and length, where Newtonian gravity requires a modification or extension if no dark matter component is introduced in the description of gravitational phenomena. The result is directly obtained with the assumption that a fundamental constant of nature with dimensions of acceleration needs to be introduced into gravitational interactions. This in turn allows for modifications or extensions of the equipartion law and/or the holographic principle. In other words, MOND-like phenomenology can be reproduced when appropriate generalised concepts at the thermodynamical level of space and/or at the holographic principle are introduced. Thermodynamical modifications are reflected in extensions to the equipartition law which occur when the temperature of the system drops below a critical value, equals to Unruh's temperature evaluated at the acceleration constant scale introduced for the description of the gravitational phenomena. Our calculations extend the ones by Verlinde (2011) in which Newtonian gravity is shown to be an emergent phenomenon, and together with it reinforces the idea that gravity at all scales is emergent.

Πιο συγκεκριμένα, αρχικά εξετάστηκε η ιστορική εξέλιξη των μέσων κοινωνικής δικτύωσης, τα βασικά χαρακτηριστικά , οι κατηγορίες και τα επικοινωνιακά τους στοιχεία. Έγινε αναφορά στις πρακτικές του ψηφιακού μάρκετινγκ αλλά και στο μάρκετινγκ επιρροής μέσων κοινωνικής δικτύωσης. Στη συνέχεια ιδιαίτερη αναφορά έγινε στους Influencer της εκπαίδευσης αλλά και στις υπάρχουσες προκλήσεις και ευκαιρίες. Βαρύτητα δόθηκε στα ΜΚΔ στη τριτοβάθμια εκπαίδευση. Η έρευνα που έγινε σκοπό είχε να διερευνήσει πώς το φύλο των ερωτηθέντων διαφοροποιεί τις απόψεις τους αναφορικά με το μάρκετινγκ επιρροής καθώς και την άποψη των συμμετεχόντων αναφορικά με το εάν λειτουργεί πραγματικά το influence marketing επηρεάζει τις υπόλοιπες απόψεις τους σχετικά με αυτό. Η μελέτη συμπερασματικά κατέληξε στο ότι οι άνδρες συμφωνούν σε περισσότερο πως το Influencer Marketing προωθεί έναν ιστότοπο. Ενώ επίσης έγινε σαφές οτι όσο περισσότερο συμφωνούν οι συμμετέχοντες πως λειτουργεί πραγματικά το influencer marketing, τόσο περισσότερο φαίνεται να υποστηρίζουν πως τα social media άλλαξαν το μάρκετινγκ επιρροής. Τέλος, όσο πιο θετική είναι η στάση των ερωτηθέντων σε σχέση με το ότι το μάρκετινγκ επιρροής έχει αποτέλεσμα, τόσο περισσότερο συμφωνούν ως προς το ότι επιτυγχάνονται επιχειρησιακοί στόχοι με το influencer marketing στα κοινωνικά δίκτυα και πως την επόμενη πενταετία το μάρκετινγκ επιρροής θα γνωρίσει ανάπτυξη.

description: We consider periodic energy problems in Euclidean space with a special emphasis on long-range potentials that cannot be defined through the usual infinite sum. One of our main results builds on more recent developments of Ewald summation to define the periodic energy corresponding to a large class of long-range potentials. Two particularly interesting examples are the logarithmic potential and the Riesz potential when the Riesz parameter is smaller than the dimension of the space. For these examples, we use analytic continuation methods to provide concise formulas for the periodic kernel in terms of the Epstein Hurwitz Zeta function. We apply our energy definition to deduce several properties of the minimal energy including the asymptotic order of growth and the distribution of points in energy minimizing configurations as the number of points becomes large. We conclude with some detailed calculations in the case of one dimension, which shows the utility of this approach.

Using Lyman-alpha to detect galaxies that leak Lyman continuum

description: We propose to infer ionising continuum leaking properties of galaxies by looking at their Lyman-alpha line profiles. We carry out Lyman-alpha radiation transfer calculations in two models of HII regions which are porous to ionising continuum escape: 1) the so-called "density bounded" media, in which massive stars produce enough ionising photons to keep the surrounding interstellar medium transparent to the ionising continuum, i.e almost totally ionised, and 2) "riddled ionisation-bounded" media, surrounded by neutral interstellar medium, but with holes, i.e. with a covering factor lower than unity. The Lyman-alpha spectra emergent from these configurations have distinctive features: 1) a "classical" asymmetric redshifted profile in the first case, but with a small shift of the maximum of the profile compare to the systemic redshift (Vpeak < 150 km/s); 2) a main peak at the systemic redshift in the second case (Vpeak = 0 km/s), with, as a consequence, a non-zero Lyman-alpha flux bluewards the systemic redshift. Assuming that in a galaxy leaking ionising photons, the Lyman-alpha component emerging from the leaking star cluster(s) dominates the total Lyman-alpha spectrum, the Lyman-alpha shape may be used as a pre-selection tool to detect Lyman continuum (LyC) leaking galaxies, in objects with well determined systemic redshift, and high spectral resolution Lyman-alpha spectra (R >= 4000). The examination of a sample of 10 local starbursts with high resolution HST-COS Lyman-alpha spectra and known in the literature as LyC leakers or leaking candidates, corroborates our predictions. Observations of Lyman-alpha profiles at high resolution should show definite signatures revealing the escape of Lyman continuum photons from star-forming galaxies.

Αναλυτικότερα, εξετάζουμε το κατά πόσο ο συντελεστής Gini, η φτώχεια, η εκπαίδευση και η υγεία να επηρεάζουν το σύνολο των εγκλημάτων. Για την οικονομική ανισότητα επιλέχθηκαν σαν μεταβλητές ο συντελεστής Gini και η φτώχεια. Αντίστοιχα για την κοινωνική ανισότητα επιλέχθηκαν η υγεία και η εκπαίδευση. Οι μεταβλητές αυτές αποτελούν ακρογωνιαίο λίθο της σύγχρονης βιβλιογραφίας κατά την μέτρηση και τον καθορισμό της εγκληματικότητας. Γενικά, η εγκληματικότητα είναι όρος δυσχερής ως προς τη μέτρηση αφού επηρεάζεται από πολλούς παράγοντες και δείκτες. Είναι ένα πρόβλημα με πολλά δεδομένα και πολλές λύσεις που ωστόσο δεν θα εξετάσουμε στην εργασία αυτή. Αναλυτικότερα, στην εργασία, έχουμε λάβει δεδομένα για τα έτη 2011 έως και το 2020 για τους δείκτες της υγείας, της φτώχειας, της εκπαίδευσης και της εισοδηματικής ανισότητας. Για το σύνολο των εγκλημάτων έχουμε λάβει δεδομένα από το 2011 έως και το 2019 διότι τα δεδομένα για το 2020 αναμένονται να δημοσιευθούν τον Νοέμβριο του 2022. Ωστόσο, με την μέθοδο missing value του στατιστικού προγράμματος SPSS μπορέσαμε να εξάγουμε εκτιμήσεις με βάση τα προηγούμενα έτη. Συνεπώς, τα δεδομένα της εγκληματικότητας, ενδεχομένως να διαφέρουν μετά την επίσημη δημοσιοποίηση τους τον Νοέμβρη. Τέλος, επειδή η εγκληματικότητα είναι ένα υδαρές αλλά καθόλου διαυγές φαινόμενο, τα αποτελέσματα μελλοντικών ερευνών μπορεί να εμφανιστούν τελείως διαφορετικά από τα αποτελέσματα της παρούσας έρευνας.

description: In this article we study simplicity and traces of reduced $L^p$ operator crossed products $F^p_{\mathrm{r}}(G, A, α)$. Given $p \in (1, \infty)$, let $G$ be a Powers group, and let $α\colon G \to Aut(A)$ be an isometric action of $G$ on a unital $L^p$ operator algebra $A$ such that $A$ is $G$-simple. We prove that the reduced $L^p$ operator crossed product of $A$ by $G$, $F^p_{\mathrm{r}}(G, A, α)$, is simple. Moreover, we show that traces on $F^p_{\mathrm{r}}(G, A, α)$ are in correspondence with $G$-invariant traces on A. Our results generalize the results obtained by de la Harpe for reduced $C^*$crossed products in 1985. By letting $G$ be a countable nonabelian free group as a special case, we recover an analogue of a result of Powers from 1975. For the case $p = 1$, it turns out that (reduced) $L^p$ operator group algebras are not simple.

description: The fractional quantum Hall effect (FQHE) realized in two-dimensional electron systems under a magnetic field is one of the most remarkable discoveries in condensed matter physics. Interestingly, it has been proposed that FQHE can also emerge in time-reversal invariant spin systems, known as the chiral spin liquid (CSL) characterized by the topological order and the emerging of the fractionalized quasiparticles. A CSL can naturally lead to the exotic superconductivity originating from the condense of anyonic quasiparticles. Although CSL was highly sought after for more than twenty years, it had never been found in a spin isotropic Heisenberg model or related materials. By developing a density-matrix renormalization group based method for adiabatically inserting flux, we discover a FQHE in a spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ isotropic kagome Heisenberg model. We identify this FQHE state as the long-sought CSL with a uniform chiral order spontaneously breaking time reversal symmetry, which is uniquely characterized by the half-integer quantized topological Chern number protected by a robust excitation gap. The CSL is found to be at the neighbor of the previously identified $Z_2$ spin liquid, which may lead to an exotic quantum phase transition between two gapped topological spin liquids.

description: We characterize the functions for which the corresponding Bregman divergence is jointly convex on matrices. As an application of this characterization, we derive a sharp inequality for the quantum Tsallis entropy of a tripartite state, which can be considered as a generalization of the strong subadditivity of the von Neumann entropy. (In general, the strong subadditivity of the Tsallis entropy fails for quantum states, but it holds for classical states.) Furthermore, we show that the joint convexity of the Bregman divergence does not imply the monotonicity under stochastic maps, but every monotone Bregman divergence is jointly convex.

description: This paper is a survey of methods for solving smooth (strongly) monotone stochastic variational inequalities. To begin with, we give the deterministic foundation from which the stochastic methods eventually evolved. Then we review methods for the general stochastic formulation, and look at the finite sum setup. The last parts of the paper are devoted to various recent (not necessarily stochastic) advances in algorithms for variational inequalities.

description: We present a practical method for the solution of the quark-gluon vertex for use in Bethe--Salpeter and Dyson--Schwinger calculations. The efficient decomposition into the necessary covariants is detailed, with the numerical algorithm outlined for both real and complex Euclidean momenta. A truncation of the quark-gluon vertex, that neglects explicit back-coupling to enable the application to bound-state calculations, is given together with results for the quark propagator and quark-gluon vertex for different quark flavours. The relative impact of the various components of the quark-gluon vertex is highlighted with the flavour dependence of the effective quark-gluon interaction obtained, thus providing insight for the construction of phenomenological models within Rainbow-Ladder. Finally, we solve the corresponding Green's functions for complex Euclidean momenta as required in future bound-state calculations.

description: In the present paper we continue the project of systematic construction of invariant differential operators on the example of the non-compact algebras $su(n,n)$. Earlier were given the main multiplets of indecomposable elementary representations for $n\leq 4$, and the reduced ones for $n=2$. Here we give all reduced multiplets containing physically relevant representations including the minimal ones for the algebra $su(3,3)$. Due to the recently established parabolic relations the results are valid also for the algebra $sl(6,\mathbb{R})$ with suitably chosen maximal parabolic subalgebra.

description: We augment seminal models based on Ohlson (1995) by integrating the value impact of ratings related to three different extra-financial categories, i. e. corporate governance, human capital, and innovation capital. By integrating extra-financial information in valuation models, we examine whether current market values can be better estimated and future stock performance better predicted when considering this information. For a sample of large Euro-pean public firms, we find that a model including human capital information and analysts’ earnings forecasts best explains current stock prices. Our model based on human capital in-formation (without analysts’ forecasts) best identifies under- and overvalued companies.

description: Large classes of standard single-field slow-roll inflationary models consistent with the required number of e-folds, the current bounds on the spectral index of scalar perturbations, the tensor-to-scalar ratio, and the scale of inflation can be efficiently constructed using genetic algorithms. The setup is modular and can be easily adapted to include further phenomenological constraints. A semi-comprehensive search for sextic polynomial potentials results in roughly O(300,000) viable models for inflation. The analysis of this dataset reveals a preference for models with a tensor-to-scalar ratio in the range 0.0001 < r < 0.0004. We also consider potentials that involve cosine and exponential terms. In the last part we explore more complex methods of search relying on reinforcement learning and genetic programming. While reinforcement learning proves more difficult to use in this context, the genetic programming approach has the potential to uncover a multitude of viable inflationary models with new functional forms.

description: Hadron masses can be decomposed as a sum of quark and glue components which are defined through hadronic matrix elements of QCD operators. The components consist of the quark mass term, the quark energy term, the glue energy term, and the trace anomaly term. We calculate these components for mesons with lattice QCD for the first time. The calculation is carried out with overlap fermion on $2+1$ flavor domain-wall fermion gauge configurations. We confirm that $\sim 50\%$ of the light pion mass comes from the quark mass term and $\sim 10\%$ comes from the quark energy; whereas, while for the $ρ$ meson, the quark energy contributes roughly half of its mass but the quark mass term contributes little. The combined glue components contribute $\sim 40 - 50\%$ for both mesons. It is interesting to observe that the quark mass contribution to the mass of the vector meson is almost linear in quark mass over a large quark mass region below the charm quark mass. For heavy mesons, the quark mass term dominates the masses, while the contribution from the glue components is about $200$ MeV (a bare value around 2GeV) for the heavy pseudoscalar and vector mesons. The charmonium hyperfine splitting is found to be dominated by the quark energy term which is consistent with the picture of the quark potential model.

Co-designing the whole AI/SW/HW stack in terms of speed, accuracy, energy consumption, size, costs, and other metrics has become extremely complex, long and costly. With no rigorous methodology for analyzing performance and accumulating optimisation knowledge, we are simply destined to drown in the ever growing number of design choices, system

features and conflicting optimisation goals.

We present our novel community-driven approach to solve the above problems. Originating from natural sciences, this approach is embodied in Collective Knowledge (CK), our open-source cross-platform workflow framework and repository for automatic, collaborative and reproducible experimentation. CK helps organize, unify and share representative workloads, data sets, AI frameworks, libraries, compilers, scripts, models and other artifacts as customizable and reusable components with a common JSON API.

CK helps bring academia, industry and end-users together to gradually expose optimisation choices at all levels (e.g. from parameterized models and algorithmic skeletons to compiler flags and hardware configurations) and autotune them across diverse inputs and platforms. Optimization knowledge gets continuously aggregated in public or private repositories such as cKnowledge.org/repo in a reproducible way, and can be then mined and extrapolated to predict better AI algorithm choices, compiler transformations and hardware designs.

We also demonstrate how we use this approach in practice together with ARM and other companies to adapt to a Cambrian AI/SW/HW explosion by creating an open repository of reusable AI artifacts, and then collaboratively optimising and co-designing the whole deep learning stack (software, hardware and models).
