description: Multi-Higgs production provides a phenomenologically clear window to the electroweak symmetry breaking sector. We perform a comprehensive and comparative analysis of new electroweak physics effects in di-Higgs and di-Higgs+jet production. In particular, we discuss resonant di-Higgs phenomenology, which arises in the Higgs portal model and in the MSSM at small tan beta, and non-resonant new physics contributions to di-Higgs production in models where the newly discovered Higgs candidate is interpreted as a pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson. We show that, for all these scenarios, a measurement of the di-Higgs and di-Higgs+jet final states provides an accessible and elaborate handle to understand electroweak symmetry breaking in great detail.

description: Background: There is an overabundance of claims about the advantages and disadvantages of health interventions. Many people are unable to assess the reliability of these claims. Acting on unreliable health claims or failing to act on reliable advice can lead to waste of resources and unnecessary suffering. There is a global focus on teaching critical thinking, including in the new Kenyan curriculum, however, critical thinking about health is not taught in Kenyan schools. The study planned for in this protocol is an evaluation of the effects of the Informed Health Choices secondary school intervention on the ability of lower secondary school students in Kenya to think critically about health information and choices. The intervention consists of providing teachers with digital teaching resources and training them to deliver the intervention to students. The intervention covers 10 lessons that address nine key concepts. Methods: This study is a cluster-randomized trial. We will stratify lower secondary schools by ownership and geographical location, and randomly select 80 of them. We will randomly allocate the schools to either the intervention or control group. The intervention schools will teach the 10 lessons in one academic term alongside the Kenya national secondary school curriculum. The control schools will continue teaching the national secondary school curriculum. The primary outcome measure will be a test with multiple-choice questions from the Claim Evaluations Tools item bank. The test will include two items for each of the nine concepts covered by the teaching resources. The primary outcome will be the proportion of students attaining a predetermined passing score.

description: This paper shows how a recently developed view of typing as small-step abstract reduction, due to Kuan, MacQueen, and Findler, can be used to recast the development of simple type theory from a rewriting perspective. We show how standard meta-theoretic results can be proved in a completely new way, using the rewriting view of simple typing. These meta-theoretic results include standard type preservation and progress properties for simply typed lambda calculus, as well as generalized versions where typing is taken to include both abstract and concrete reduction. We show how automated analysis tools developed in the term-rewriting community can be used to help automate the proofs for this meta-theory. Finally, we show how to adapt a standard proof of normalization of simply typed lambda calculus, for the rewriting approach to typing.

description: We have successfully observed quantum oscillation (QO) for FeTe_{1-x}Se_{x}. QO measurements were performed using non-superconducting and superconducting thin crystals of FeTe_{0.65}Se_{0.35} fabricated by the scotch-tape method. We show that the Fermi surfaces (FS) of the non-superconducting crystal are in good agreement with the rigid band shift model based on electron doping by excess Fe while that of the superconducting crystal is in good agreement with the calculated FS with no shift. From the FS comparison of both crystals, we demonstrate the change of the cross-sectional area of the FS, suggesting that the suppression of the FS nesting with the vector Q_{s} = (π, π) due to excess Fe results in the disappearance of the superconductivity.

description: Recent neutron scattering and specific heat studies on the pyrochlore Yb2Ti2O7 have revealed variations in its magnetic behavior below 265mK. In the best samples, a sharp anomaly in the specific heat is observed at T=265mK. Other samples, especially single crystals, have broad features in the specific heat which vary in sharpness and temperature depending on the sample, indicating that the magnetic ground state may be qualitatively different in such samples. We performed detailed comparisons of the chemical structure of a pulverised single crystal of Yb2Ti2O7, grown by the floating zone technique, to a sintered powder sample of Yb2Ti2O7. Rietveld refinements of neutron powder diffraction data on these samples reveal that the crushed single crystal is best described as a "stuffed" pyrochlore, Yb2(Ti(2-x)Yb(x))O7-(x/2) with x = 0.046(4), despite perfectly stoichiometric starting material. Substituting magnetic Yb3+ on the non-magnetic Ti4+ sublattice would introduce random exchange bonds and local lattice deformations. These are expected to be the mechanism leading to of the variation of the delicate magnetic ground state of Yb2Ti2O7. Determination of the cubic cell length, a, could be useful as a method for characterizing the stoichiometry of non- pulverised single crystals at room temperature.

description: Abstract 
Background: Bone age, a valuable indicator of biological and structural maturity, often surpasses chronological age in significance. The hand and wrist radiograph is a prevalent modality for determining bone age, with forensic applications necessitating precise age estimation. Aim & Objective: This study delved into the ossification status at elbow and wrist joints in female adolescent. Methods: A radiological study of hand was conducted on total 100 girls of age group 14–16 years, healthy school-going girls in Bagalkot city district, Karnataka, India. Results: The radiographs were studied in detail and the findings were recorded. a cohort of 100 Our observations revealed that, by ages 14-16, all epiphyseal centers around the elbow joint, barring conjoint epiphyses, were undergoing fusion. Notably, by age 14, ossification around the elbow joint in girls reached 90% completion, culminating in full ossification by age 15. Conclusion: By the age of 14, girls typically exhibit complete fusion of the conjoint epiphysis, medial epicondyle, proximal end of the radius, and in 94% of cases, the proximal end of the ulna. Furthermore, by age 15, the distal end of the radius achieves complete fusion in 96% of girls, indicating advanced skeletal maturation.

description: We find new BPS solutions to the nonabelian theory on a world-volume of parallel D1-branes. Our solutions describe two parallel, separated bundles of N D1-branes expanding out to form a single orthogonal D3-brane. This configuration corresponds to two charge N magnetic monopoles in the world-volume of a single D3-brane, deforming the D3-brane into two parallel spikes. We obtain the emergent surface corresponding to our nonabelian D1-brane configuration and demonstrate, at finite N, a surprisingly accurate agreement with the shape of the D3-brane world-volume as obtained from the abelian Born-Infeld action. Our solution provides an explicit realization of topology change in noncommutative geometry at finite N.

description: In recent papers, we and colleagues have introduced a way to visualize the full vacuum Riemann curvature tensor using frame-drag vortex lines and their vorticities, and tidal tendex lines and their tendicities. We have also introduced the concepts of horizon vortexes and tendexes and 3-D vortexes and tendexes (regions where vorticities or tendicities are large). Using these concepts, we discover a number of previously unknown features of quasinormal modes of Schwarzschild and Kerr black holes. These modes can be classified by mode indexes (n,l,m), and parity, which can be electric [(-1)^l] or magnetic [(-1)^(l+1)]. Among our discoveries are these: (i) There is a near duality between modes of the same (n,l,m): a duality in which the tendex and vortex structures of electric-parity modes are interchanged with the vortex and tendex structures (respectively) of magnetic-parity modes. (ii) This near duality is perfect for the modes' complex eigenfrequencies (which are well known to be identical) and perfect on the horizon; it is slightly broken in the equatorial plane of a non-spinning hole, and the breaking becomes greater out of the equatorial plane, and greater as the hole is spun up; but even out of the plane for fast-spinning holes, the duality is surprisingly good. (iii) Electric-parity modes can be regarded as generated by 3-D tendexes that stick radially out of the horizon. As these "longitudinal," near-zone tendexes rotate or oscillate, they generate longitudinal-transverse near-zone vortexes and tendexes, and outgoing and ingoing gravitational waves. The ingoing waves act back on the longitudinal tendexes, driving them to slide off the horizon, which results in decay of the mode's strength. (iv) By duality, magnetic-parity modes are driven in this same manner by longitudinal, near-zone vortexes that stick out of the horizon. [Abstract abridged.]

Isospin breaking and $f_0(980)$-$a_0(980)$ mixing in the $η(1405) \to π^{0} f_0(980)$ reaction

description: We make a theoretical study of the $η(1405) \to π^{0} f_0(980)$ and $η(1405) \to π^{0} a_0(980)$ reactions with an aim to determine the isospin violation and the mixing of the $f_0(980)$ and $a_0(980)$ resonances. We make use of the chiral unitary approach where these two resonances appear as composite states of two mesons, dynamically generated by the meson-meson interaction provided by chiral Lagrangians. We obtain a very narrow shape for the $f_0(980)$ production in agreement with a BES experiment. As to the amount of isospin violation, or $f_0(980)$ and $a_0(980)$ mixing, assuming constant vertices for the primary $η(1405)\rightarrow π^{0}K\bar{K}$ and $η(1405)\rightarrow π^{0}π^{0}η$ production, we find results which are much smaller than found in the recent experimental BES paper, but consistent with results found in two other related BES experiments. We have tried to understand this anomaly by assuming an I=1 mixture in the $η(1405)$ wave function, but this leads to a much bigger width of the $f_0(980)$ mass distribution than observed experimentally. The problem is solved by using the primary production driven by $η' \to K^* \bar K$ followed by $K^* \to K π$, which induces an extra singularity in the loop functions needed to produce the $f_0(980)$ and $a_0(980)$ resonances. Improving upon earlier work along the same lines, and using the chiral unitary approach, we can now predict absolute values for the ratio $Γ(π^0, π^+ π^-)/Γ(π^0, π^0 η)$ which are in fair agreement with experiment. We also show that the same results hold if we had the $η(1475)$ resonance or a mixture of these two states, as seems to be the case in the BES experiment.

description: The Paduan painter Andrea Mantegna (1431 – 1506) was one of the most innovative and influential artists of the Italian Renaissance. His works have been the focus of numerous studies often focusing on his many connections within the city of Padua, his training under Francesco Squarcione (1397 – 1468), and other artists he encountered there during his youth. None, however, have investigated evidence of Paduan campanilismo within his body of work. Campanilismo is an important aspect of Italian identity, where individuals feel a strong sense of belonging, identity, and pride to the location of their birth, more powerful even than any sense of national or regional identity. At a time when Venetian painters and sculptors were working feverishly to create pro-Venetian propaganda with the aim of reinforcing the city’s mythical past, it is curious that Mantegna’s works have not been viewed as a counter to this movement in the form of pro-Paduan propaganda. As Padua had a true ancient past pre-dating Rome, a rich intellectual and humanistic tradition formed in large part by its famous university, and a strong Christian tradition linked to Saint Peter, Paduans would necessarily desire to push back against their Venetian rulers and affirm their own true identity. This thesis will argue for evidence of Paduan campanilismo within Mantegna’s oeuvre and that it was used to reclaim and reaffirm the city’s long-standing traditions and culture.
Completing the glutamate - glutamine cycle: The role of Neurotransmitter Transporter 4 in presynaptic glutamate supply
Creators: name: Nicoli, Angela
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2023

description: Recycling of glutamate following release from synapses is important for neuronal health and continued synaptic function. The glutamate glutamine cycle is the process by which astrocytes sequester released glutamate and return it to presynaptic terminals in the form of glutamine. Despite extensive research into the mechanisms of this cycle, some aspects are not fully understood. Debate surrounds the necessity of the cycle for replenishing synaptic glutamate, and how glutamine is transported into presynaptic terminals is unknown. Here, we investigate whether Neurotransmitter Transporter 4 (NTT4/SLC6A17) provides presynaptic terminals with glutamine. Accordingly, we generated Slc6a17 / (NTT4 KO) mice to assess this possibility. By tracing labelled glucose and acetate, we show that glutamate glutamine cycling is interrupted in NTT4 KO brain compared to control. To understand the mechanism behind this interruption, electrophysiological recordings were carried out in acutely isolated brain slices from NTT4 KO mice. Postsynaptic responses to presynaptic stimulation were measured in the hippocampus, a region shown to strongly express NTT4. The results show for the first time, that knockout of NTT4 causes a reduction in the amplitude of evoked postsynaptic currents in hippocampal CA3 cells and a reduction in field potentials in CA1 over time, when synaptic activity is increased. Pharmacological inhibition of NTT4 with leucine causes an identical reduction in these amplitudes, providing additional evidence for the role of NTT4 during periods of elevated synaptic activity. To ascertain whether these reductions were due to depletion of presynaptic neurotransmitter, quantal size was measured at CA3 pyramidal cells, where it was shown that the amplitude of spontaneous single vesicle associated postsynaptic currents were reduced in NTT4 KO cells after the application of high frequency stimulation. This confirmed that presynaptic terminals rely on NTT4 for replenishing presynaptic glutamate when activity at the synapse increases. Finally, the functional role of this deletion in learning and behaviour was assessed, with NTT4 KO mice displaying worse memory retention, more anxiety, social deficits, and impaired ability to perform tasks of daily living, compared to controls. This research helps to clarify the role of the glutamate glutamine cycle in recycling neurotransmitter at the synapse, and identifies the missing link in this cycle, the presynaptic glutamine transporter NTT4. As interrupted glutamatergic signalling is a hallmark in a number of pathologies including epilepsy, intellectual disability, Alzheimer's disease and many more, the discoveries outlined here provide a new avenue for the development of novel treatments.

Reynolds number effect on the dissipation function in wall-bounded flows
Creators: name: Laadhari, Faouzi
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Fluid Dynamics (physics.flu-dyn)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The evolution with Reynolds number of the dissipation function, normalized by wall variables, is investigated using direct numerical simulation (DNS) databases for incompressible turbulent Poiseuille flow in a plane channel, at friction Reynolds numbers up to Reτ= 2000. DNS results show that the mean part, directly dissipated by the mean flow, reaches a constant value while the turbulent part, converted into turbulent kinetic energy before being dissipated, follows a logarithmic law. This result shows that the logarithmic law of friction can be obtained without any assumption on the mean velocity distribution. The proposed law is in good agreement with experimental results in plane-channel and boundary layer flows.
Investor Behavior and Portfolio Optimization: Implications from Stochastic Dominance and Prospect theory
Creators: name: Chow, Nikolai
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2023

description: This thesis investigates investor behavior and portfolio optimization, navigating through the theoretical framework of Stochastic Dominance (SD) and Prospect Theory. These two concepts serve as a bridge between traditional financial theories and the complexities of behavioral finance. The thesis extensively explores the connection between Central Moments and different SD concepts in Chapter 2, including an in-depth analysis of diversification. An empirical analysis of the Eastern Halloween effect, through the lens of SD, is undertaken in Chapter 3. This study reveals intriguing aspects of market efficiency and risk implications associated with the observed phenomenon. Chapter 4 revisits portfolio optimization, establishing links between Partial Moments, MV Analysis, and Prospect Theory. It introduces Prospect Stochastic Dominance (PSD) and its impacts on Mean-Variance Analysis and portfolio optimization. Chapter 5 extends the discussion to loss aversion, a critical component of Prospect Theory, and its implications on moments and Portfolio Choice. By integrating classic finance theories and behavioral finance, this thesis aspires to enrich the academic discourse and practical understanding of finance. The ultimate goal is to generate valuable insights that could enhance investment decision-making processes, contribute to better financial outcomes, and add nuance to our understanding of finance.

description: Probing the origin of neutrino mass by disentangling the seesaw mechanism is one of the central issues of particle physics. We address it in the minimal left-right symmetric model and show how the knowledge of light and heavy neutrino masses and mixings suffices to determine their Dirac Yukawa couplings. This in turn allows one to make predictions for a number of high and low energy phenomena, such as decays of heavy neutrinos, neutrinoless double beta decay, electric dipole moments of charged leptons and neutrino transition moments. We also discuss a way of reconstructing the neutrino Dirac Yukawa couplings at colliders such as the LHC.

Made in Paridrayan: Sound, Land, and Movement in Indigenous Taiwan
Creators: name: Sim, Jarrod
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2023

description: Employing methodologies and theoretical approaches from the fields of anthropology, cultural studies, ethnomusicology, folkloristics, and indigenous knowledge, this thesis explores the role and significance of landscape, sonic production and identity-making within a mountainous indigenous (Paiwan) community known as Paridrayan, located in present-day Taiwan. In 2009, the community was relocated away from their ancestral land, denying them the sights and sounds of the environment that generations of residents have grown accustomed to. This led to a detachment from their current dwelling and a longing to return home. The Paiwan consists of two sub-groups: the Ravar and the Vuculj. Paridrayan is known as the progenitor of the Ravar, from which other Ravar communities descended. Today, many Paridrayan elders, who are custodians of knowledge traditions, are in their late seventies and eighties and thus, there is an urgency to preserve and document their knowledge before it is lost. Existing research focuses largely on the Vuculj, and only a handful look specifically at the Ravar. In Anglophonic research, there are even lesser mentions of the Ravar and very few have focused on sonic production. The original contribution of this thesis is threefold. First, it aims to preserve the oral traditions of the Ravar by recording the wisdom of village elders for the community and the wider audience. Second, I engage in a Paridrayan-centric ethnography that reveals the richness of Ravar culture by focusing on its point of origin. Finally, to lay the groundwork for future research on the Ravar culture and to repudiate misinformation. The Paiwan, like many other Austronesian-speaking societies, do not have a written script and possesses an oral tradition that is used as the primary tool for knowledge transmission. Therefore, studying sonic production is the most ideal approach to understanding how the community maintains their traditions amidst a globalised world. My analysis juxtaposes sonic production with everyday life. I explore the role of silence in mourning rituals; materiality in instrument-making; infinity in vocal singing; and movement in a storytelling genre known as tjautsiker. Landscape features as a common theme throughout the discussions in this thesis. It is a confluence point that always leads back to the soils of Paridrayan where one can be both here and there at the same time.
Role of Nuclear Structure in One- and Two-Body Nuclear Response for WIMP Direct Detection

description: Most of the matter content of the universe is expected to consist of "dark matter", a form of matter which does not interact with light. While there are multiple lines of evidence for the existence of dark matter, its exact identity remains a mystery. There are a number of hypotheses, of which Weakly Interacting Massive Particles ("WIMPs") constitute one of the most attractive candidates. There are a number of methods the search for WIMPs is using, one of which is direct detection, which attempts to observe collisions between WIMPs and nuclei, or alternatively between WIMPs and electrons, although the latter possibility was not considered in this thesis. To interpret a signal from a direct detection experiment, or lack thereof, the interaction between WIMPs and nuclei must be understood. This dependence of this interaction on nuclear structure can be encapsulated in terms of "structure factors", which are functions of momentum, specifically, matrix elements of nuclear observables that depend on the momentum exchanged in the collision. The calculated structure factors for a particular nucleus may depend on the nuclear interaction used to calculate its structure. Although the WIMPs are often assumed to only couple to single nucleons, in which case the WIMP-nucleus interaction can be described in terms of "one-body structure factors" (expectations of one-body observables) recent work based on Chiral Effective Field theory predicts possible interactions of WIMPs with pairs of nucleons, which two-body structure factors (expectations of two-body observables) are necessary to describe. The object of this thesis was to investigate the dependence of the one- and two-body structure factors on the interaction between nucleons used to calculate the nuclear structure. Nuclear responses were calculated for isotopes of fluorine, sodium, silicon, argon, germanium, iodine and xenon, with between 2 and 4 interactions per nuclide. Although some one-body structure factors may vary significantly with nuclear interaction, two-body structure factors were found to depend only very weakly on the interaction. Thus, for comparing data with theory, the two-body structure factors can be calculated with a particular interaction without concern that it will give a significantly inaccurate value.

description: When one splits spacetime into space plus time, the Weyl curvature tensor (which equals the Riemann tensor in vacuum) splits into two spatial, symmetric, traceless tensors: the tidal field $E$, which produces tidal forces, and the frame-drag field $B$, which produces differential frame dragging. In recent papers, we and colleagues have introduced ways to visualize these two fields: tidal tendex lines (integral curves of the three eigenvector fields of $E$) and their tendicities (eigenvalues of these eigenvector fields); and the corresponding entities for the frame-drag field: frame-drag vortex lines and their vorticities. These entities fully characterize the vacuum Riemann tensor. In this paper, we compute and depict the tendex and vortex lines, and their tendicities and vorticities, outside the horizons of stationary (Schwarzschild and Kerr) black holes; and we introduce and depict the black holes' horizon tendicity and vorticity (the normal-normal components of $E$ and $B$ on the horizon). For Schwarzschild and Kerr black holes, the horizon tendicity is proportional to the horizon's intrinsic scalar curvature, and the horizon vorticity is proportional to an extrinsic scalar curvature. We show that, for horizon-penetrating time slices, all these entities ($E$, $B$, the tendex lines and vortex lines, the lines' tendicities and vorticities, and the horizon tendicities and vorticities) are affected only weakly by changes of slicing and changes of spatial coordinates, within those slicing and coordinate choices that are commonly used for black holes.

A probabilistic numerical method for optimal multiple switching problem and application to investments in electricity generation

description: In this paper, we present a probabilistic numerical algorithm combining dynamic programming, Monte Carlo simulations and local basis regressions to solve non-stationary optimal multiple switching problems in infinite horizon. We provide the rate of convergence of the method in terms of the time step used to discretize the problem, of the size of the local hypercubes involved in the regressions, and of the truncating time horizon. To make the method viable for problems in high dimension and long time horizon, we extend a memory reduction method to the general Euler scheme, so that, when performing the numerical resolution, the storage of the Monte Carlo simulation paths is not needed. Then, we apply this algorithm to a model of optimal investment in power plants. This model takes into account electricity demand, cointegrated fuel prices, carbon price and random outages of power plants. It computes the optimal level of investment in each generation technology, considered as a whole, w.r.t. the electricity spot price. This electricity price is itself built according to a new extended structural model. In particular, it is a function of several factors, among which the installed capacities. The evolution of the optimal generation mix is illustrated on a realistic numerical problem in dimension eight, i.e. with two different technologies and six random factors.

Eigenvalue estimates for non-selfadjoint Dirac operators on the real line

Subjects: subject: Spectral Theory (math.SP)

description: We show that the non-embedded eigenvalues of the Dirac operator on the real line with non-Hermitian potential $V$ lie in the disjoint union of two disks in the right and left half plane, respectively, provided that the $L^1-norm$ of $V$ is bounded from above by the speed of light times the reduced Planck constant. An analogous result for the Schrödinger operator, originally proved by Abramov, Aslanyan and Davies, emerges in the nonrelativistic limit. For massless Dirac operators, the condition on $V$ implies the absence of nonreal eigenvalues. Our results are further generalized to potentials with slower decay at infinity. As an application, we determine bounds on resonances and embedded eigenvalues of Dirac operators with Hermitian dilation-analytic potentials.

description: Determination of the neutrino mass hierarchy using a reactor neutrino experiment at $\sim$60 km is analyzed. Such a measurement is challenging due to the finite detector resolution, the absolute energy scale calibration, as well as the degeneracies caused by current experimental uncertainty of $|Δm^2_{32}|$. The standard $χ^2$ method is compared with a proposed Fourier transformation method. In addition, we show that for such a measurement to succeed, one must understand the non-linearity of the detector energy scale at the level of a few tenths of percent.

description: In this paper, we propose a signal-selective spectrum sensing method for cognitive radio networks and specifically targeted for receivers with multiple-antenna capability. This method is used for detecting the presence or absence of primary users based on the eigenvalues of the cyclic covariance matrix of received signals. In particular, the cyclic correlation significance test is used to detect a specific signal-of-interest by exploiting knowledge of its cyclic frequencies. The analytical threshold for achieving constant false alarm rate using this detection method is presented, verified through simulations, and shown to be independent of both the number of samples used and the noise variance, effectively eliminating the dependence on accurate noise estimation. The proposed method is also shown, through numerical simulations, to outperform existing multiple-antenna cyclostationary-based spectrum sensing algorithms under a quasi-static Rayleigh fading channel, in both spatially correlated and uncorrelated noise environments. The algorithm also has significantly lower computational complexity than these other approaches.

description: We explore systematic biases in the identification of dark matter in future direct detection experiments and compare the reconstructed dark matter properties when assuming a self-consistent dark matter distribution function and the standard Maxwellian velocity distribution. We find that the systematic bias on the dark matter mass and cross-section determination arising from wrong assumptions for its distribution function is of order ~1σ. A much larger systematic bias can arise if wrong assumptions are made on the underlying Milky Way mass model. However, in both cases the bias is substantially mitigated by marginalizing over galactic model parameters. We additionally show that the velocity distribution can be reconstructed in an unbiased manner for typical dark matter parameters. Our results highlight both the robustness of the dark matter mass and cross-section determination using the standard Maxwellian velocity distribution and the importance of accounting for astrophysical uncertainties in a statistically consistent fashion.

description: We present a systematic first-principles study of the structural and vibrational properties of perovskite-structure EuTiO3. Our calculated phonon spectrum of the high-symmetry cubic structural prototype shows strong M- and R-point instabilities, indicating a tendency to symmetry-lowering structural deformations composed of rotations and tilts of the oxygen octahedra. Subsequent explicit study of 14 different octahedral tilt-patterns showed that the I4/mcm, Imma, and R\bar{3}c structures, all with antiferrodistortive rotations of the octahedra, have significantly lower total energy than the prototype Pm\bar{3}m structure. We discuss the dynamical stability of these structures, and the influence of the antiferrodistortive structural distortions on the vibrational, optical, and magnetic properties of EuTiO3, in the context of recent unexplained experimental observations.

description: We use the spherical collapse model of structure formation to investigate the separation in the collapse of uncoupled matter (essentially baryons) and coupled dark matter in an interacting dark energy scenario. Following the usual assumption of a single radius of collapse for all species, we show that we only need to evolve the uncoupled matter sector to obtain the evolution for all matter components. This gives us more information on the collapse with a simplified set of evolution equations compared with the usual approaches. We then apply these results to four quintessence potentials and show how we can discriminate between different quintessence models.
