description: We study the simplifications occurring in any likelihood function in the presence of a large number of small systematic uncertainties. We find that the marginalisation of these uncertainties can be done analytically by means of second-order error propagation, error combination, the Lyapunov central limit theorem, and under mild approximations which are typically satisfied for LHC likelihoods. The outcomes of this analysis are i) a very light treatment of systematic uncertainties ii) a convenient way of reporting the main effects of systematic uncertainties such as the detector effects occuring in LHC measurements.

description: An edge (vertex) cut $X$ of $G$ is $r$-essential if $G-X$ has two components each of which has at least $r$ edges. A graph $G$ is $r$-essentially $k$-edge-connected (resp. $k$-connected) if it has no $r$-essential edge (resp. vertex) cuts of size less than $k$. If $r=1$, we simply call it essential. Recently, Lai and Li proved that every $m$-edge-connected essentially $h$-edge-connected graph contains $k$ edge-disjoint spanning trees, where $k,m,h$ are positive integers such that $k+1\le m\le 2k-1$ and $h\ge \frac{m^2}{m-k}-2$. In this paper, we show that every $m$-edge-connected and $2$-essentially $h$-edge-connected graph that is not a $K_5$ or a fat-triangle with multiplicity less than $k$ has $k$ edge-disjoint spanning trees, where $k+1\le m\le 2k-1$ and $$h\ge f(m,k)=\begin{cases} 2m+k-4+\frac{k(2k-1)}{2m-2k-1}, & m< k+\frac{1+\sqrt{8k+1}}{4}, \\ m+3k-4+\frac{k^2}{m-k}, & m\ge k+\frac{1+\sqrt{8k+1}}{4}. \end{cases}$$ Extending Zhan's result, we also prove that every 3-edge-connected essentially 5-edge-connected and $2$-essentially 8-edge-connected graph has two edge-disjoint spanning trees. As an application, this gives a new sufficient condition for Hamilton-connectedness of line graphs. In 2012, Kaiser and Vrána proved that every 5-connected line graph of minimum degree at least 6 is Hamilton-connected. We allow graphs to have minimum degree 5 and prove that every 5-connected essentially 8-connected line graph is Hamilton-connected.

description: Including finite-temperature effects from the electronic degrees of freedom in electronic structure calculations of semiconductors and metals is desired; however, in practice it remains exceedingly difficult when using zero-temperature methods, since these methods require an explicit evaluation of multiple excited states in order to account for any finite-temperature effects. Using a Matsubara Green's function formalism remains a viable alternative, since in this formalism it is easier to include thermal effects and to connect the dynamic quantities such as the self-energy with static thermodynamic quantities such as the Helmholtz energy, entropy, and internal energy. However, despite the promising properties of this formalism, little is know about the multiple solutions of the non-linear equations present in the self-consistent Matsubara formalism and only a few cases involving a full Coulomb Hamiltonian were investigated in the past. Here, to shed some light onto the iterative nature of the Green's function solutions, we self-consistently evaluate the thermodynamic quantities for a one-dimensional (1D) hydrogen solid at various interatomic separations and temperatures using the self-energy approximated to second-order (GF2). At many points in the phase diagram of this system, multiple phases such as a metal and an insulator exist, and we are able to determine the most stable phase from the analysis of Helmholtz energies. Additionally, we show the evolution of the spectrum of 1D boron nitride (BN) to demonstrate that GF2 is capable of qualitatively describing the temperature effects influencing the size of the band gap.

description: It is well-known that the appearance of almost-empty (shallow) conduction bands in solids strongly affects their superconducting properties. In a shallow band charge carriers are depleted and have nearly zero velocities so that the crossover from the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) superfluidity to Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) is approached. Based on a two-band prototype system with one shallow and one deep band, we demonstrate that the fundamental phase diagram of the superconducting magnetic response changes qualitatively as compared to standard superconductors with only deep bands. The so-called intertype (IT) domain between superconductivity types I and II systematically expands in the phase diagram when passing from the BCS to BEC side: its width is inversely proportional to the squared Cooper-pair radius that shrinks several orders of magnitude through the crossover. We also show that the coupling to a stable condensate of the deep band makes the system rather robust against the otherwise strong superconducting fluctuations. Thus, the BCS-BEC crossover induced by a shallow band pushes standard superconductivity types wide apart so that the IT domain tends to dominate the phase diagram and therefore the magnetic properties of shallow-band superconductors.

description: A noncollinear magnet consists of the magnetic moments forming a noncollinear spin structure. Because of this structure, the Hamiltonian of magnons acquires the cubic terms. Although the cubic terms are the magnon-magnon interactions characteristic of noncollinear magnets, their effects on magnon transport have not been clarified yet. Here we show that in a canted antiferromagnet the cubic terms cause a magnon drag that magnons drag magnon spin current and heat current, which can be used to enhance these currents by tuning a magnetic field. For a strong magnetic field, we find that the cubic terms induce low-temperature peaks of a spin-Seebeck coefficient, a magnon conductivity, and a magnon thermal conductivity, and that each value is one order of magnitude larger than the noninteracting value. This enhancement is mainly due to the magnetic field dependence of the coupling constant of the cubic terms through the magnetic-field dependent canting angle. Our magnon drag offers a way for controlling the magnon currents of noncollinear magnets via the many-body effect.

Low-energy effective action for pions and a dilatonic meson

description: Numerical simulations of QCD-like theories in which the number of flavors is adjusted so that the beta function is very small, but confinement and chiral symmetry breaking nevertheless take place, appear to reveal the presence of a flavor-singlet scalar meson which can be as light as the pions. Because the breaking of dilatation symmetry, quantified by the beta function, is small relative to QCD, a possible explanation is that the scalar meson is a pseudo Nambu-Goldstone boson associated with the approximate dilatation symmetry. We use this observation to systematically develop a low-energy effective action that accounts for both the pions and the "dilatonic" scalar meson. In order to justify the power counting that controls the couplings of the dilatonic meson we invoke the Veneziano limit, in which the number of fundamental-representation flavors $N_f$ grows in proportion with the number of colors $N_c$, while the ratio $N_f/N_c$ is kept close to, but below, the critical value where the conformal window is entered.

description: We study the thermodynamic behaviour of Inozemtsev's long-range elliptic spin chain using the Bethe ansatz equations describing the spectrum of the model in the infinite-length limit. We classify all solutions of these equations in that limit and argue which of these solutions determine the spectrum in the thermodynamic limit. Interestingly, some of the solutions are not selfconjugate, which puts the model in sharp contrast to one of the model's limiting cases, the Heisenberg xxx spin chain. Invoking the string hypothesis we derive the thermodynamic Bethe ansatz equations (TBA-equations) from which we determine the Helmholtz free energy in thermodynamic equilibrium and derive the associated Y-system. We corroborate our results by comparing numerical solutions of the TBA-equations to a direct computation of the free energy for the finite-length hamiltonian. In addition we confirm numerically the interesting conjecture put forward by Finkel and González-López that the original and supersymmetric versions of Inozemtsev's elliptic spin chain are equivalent in the thermodynamic limit.

description: Despite significant progress made over the past twenty five years, unconstrained face verification remains a challenging problem. This paper proposes an approach that couples a deep CNN-based approach with a low-dimensional discriminative embedding learned using triplet probability constraints to solve the unconstrained face verification problem. Aside from yielding performance improvements, this embedding provides significant advantages in terms of memory and for post-processing operations like subject specific clustering. Experiments on the challenging IJB-A dataset show that the proposed algorithm performs comparably or better than the state of the art methods in verification and identification metrics, while requiring much less training data and training time. The superior performance of the proposed method on the CFP dataset shows that the representation learned by our deep CNN is robust to extreme pose variation. Furthermore, we demonstrate the robustness of the deep features to challenges including age, pose, blur and clutter by performing simple clustering experiments on both IJB-A and LFW datasets.

description: The most developed aspect of the theory of finite semigroups is their classification in pseudovarieties. The main motivation for investigating such entities comes from their connection with the classification of regular languages via Eilenberg's correspondence. This connection prompted the study of various natural operators on pseudovarieties and led to several important questions, both algebraic and algorithmic. The most important of these questions is decidability: given a finite semigroup is there an algorithm that tests whether it belongs to the pseudovariety? Since the most relevant operators on pseudovarieties do not preserve decidability, one often seeks to establish stronger properties. A key role is played by relatively free profinite semigroups, which is the counterpart of free algebras in universal algebra. The purpose of this paper is to give a brief survey of the state of the art, highlighting some of the main developments and problems.

description: A dichroic atomic vapor laser lock (DAVLL) system exploiting buffer-gas-filled millimeter-scale vapor cells is presented. This system offers similar stability as achievable with conventional DAVLL system using bulk vapor cells, but has several important advantages. In addition to its compactness, it may provide continuous stabilization in a multi-gigahertz range around the optical transition. This range may be controlled either by changing the temperature of the vapor or by application of a buffer gas under an appropriate pressure. In particular, we experimentally demonstrate the ability of the system to lock the laser frequency between two hyperfine components of the $^{85}$Rb ground state or as far as 16 GHz away from the closest optical transition.

description: Using the power of gravitational lensing magnification by massive galaxy clusters, the Hubble Frontier Fields provide deep views of six patches of the high redshift Universe. The combination of deep Hubble imaging and exceptional lensing strength has revealed the greatest numbers of multiply-imaged galaxies available to constrain models of cluster mass distributions. However, even with $\mathcal{O}(100)$ images per cluster, the uncertainties associated with the reconstructions are not negligible. The goal of this paper is to show the diversity of model magnification predictions. We examine 7 and 9 mass models of Abell 2744 and MACS J0416, respectively, submitted to the Mikulski Archive for Space Telescopes for public distribution in September 2015. The dispersion between model predictions increases from 30% at common low magnifications ($μ\sim2$) to 70% at rare high magnifications ($μ\sim40$). MACS J0416 exhibits smaller dispersions than Abell 2744 for $2

description: We reach the robust conclusion that, by combining the observed cosmic rays of r-process elements with the fact that the velocity of the neutron-star-merger ejecta is much higher than that of the supernova ejecta, either (1) the reverse shock in the neutron-star-merger ejecta is a very inefficient accelerator that converts less than 0.003% of the ejecta kinetic energy to the cosmic-ray energy or (2) the neutron star merger is not the origin of the Galactic r-process elements. We also find that the acceleration efficiency should be less than 0.1% for the reverse shock of the supernova ejecta with the observed cosmic rays lighter than the iron.

description: High-dimensional entanglement is significant for the fundamental studies of quantum physics and offers unique advantages in various quantum information processing (QIP) tasks. Integrated quantum devices have recently emerged as a promising platform for creating, processing, and detecting complex high-dimensional entangled states. A crucial step towards practical quantum technologies is to verify that these devices work reliably with an optimal strategy. In this work, we experimentally implement an optimal quantum verification strategy on a three-dimensional maximally entangled state using local projective measurements on a silicon photonic chip. A 95% confidence is achieved from 1190 copies to verify the target quantum state. The obtained scaling of infidelity as a function of the number of copies is -0.5497+-0.0002, exceeding the standard quantum limit of -0.5 with 248 standard deviations. Our results indicate that quantum state verification could serve as an efficient tool for complex quantum measurement tasks.
Understanding Arc-Continent Collision in the Banda Arc Through 3-D Seismic Imaging
Creators: name: Zhang, Ping
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2023

description: The active arc-continent collision in the Banda Arc is a result of convergence of the Indo-Australian plate with the Eurasian plate in SE Asia. From west to east along the Sunda-Banda arc, the subducting Indo-Australian plate changes from the Cretaceous to Jurassic age Indian Ocean lithosphere to continental lithosphere of Australian margin as it collides with the Banda arc. This young collision effectively captures spatial transition between subduction zone to arc-continent collision, which can be alternatively viewed as the temporal transition of these processes along-strike. Detailed knowledge of seismic structure is key to understanding this complex tectonic transition. A new Banda Arc Seismic Experiment composed of 30 broadband stations was carried out from March 2014 to August 2019 (~5 years) in the Timor-Leste and Nusa Tenggara Timor region of Eastern Indonesia. In this thesis, I analyzed this dataset with multiple techniques including receiver function, auto-correlation, ambient noise tomography, as well as teleseismic surface wave tomography, aiming to image the first comprehensive and high-resolution 3-D crust and upper mantle seismic structures at different scales. An up-to-date seismic catalog that is foundational for structural studies was also built. I successfully imaged the subducted Australian continental margin at lithospheric depths, with pronounced along-strike structural variations at different scales. I suggested it may reflect the diachronous (progressive) collision as a result of oblique plate convergence or the inherent structural heterogeneities of the incoming and colliding Australian (lower) plate, or both. The present-day crustal structure may also be complicated by exotic terranes or microplates formed during the Jurassic breakup of eastern Gondwana. Tectonic fabrics related to orogenic, strike-slip, and volcanic structures from a variety of crustal depths are imaged across the entire collisional zone. The distribution of their strikes is interpreted to be associated with orogenesis, variable magmatic systems, strike-slip motion, and strain partitioning in response to the arc-continent collision and plate convergence. The new catalog describes a complex pattern of crustal events and abundant deep slap seismicity. Lastly, I analyzed the observed crustal fabrics, mantle anisotropy, isotropic structures in the crust and upper mantle as well as the seismicity together with the topography and existing geochemistry and geology observations. Altogether, these new seismic observations make a strong case links the surface geology with subsurface crust and mantle structures, unraveling an enigmatic structural and compositional boundary along the Banda volcanic arc.

A Study of Environmental Stress Cracking in Non-Crystalline Plastics
Creators: name: Earl, B L
Publisher: name: London South Bank University
Year: 1972

description: The primary aim of this project was to investigate the initiation and propagation of brittle fracture in plastics on crazing liquids and to establish a mechanism of solvent crazing. As a background to this the fracture process in air has also been studied. Concurrent studies of mechanical properties and fracture morphology have been undertaken. Craze initiation strains for plastics in liquids were found to alter with temperature in a manner. which correlated with the softening effects of the liquids on the plastics. This indicated a plasticisation mechanism was operative in solvent crazing. The morphological studies suggested that a change in fracture behaviour of polystyrene in organic liquids over a narrow temperature range could be due to a glass-to-rubber transition in the craze material brought about by plasticisation at the craze tip. The research to be described was carried out during the period April 1968 to November 1971 at Yarsley Research Laboratories, Chessington, Surrey under the guidance of Mr. R.J. Loneragan (Royal Armament Research and Development Establishment), Mr. M.A. Crook (Polytechnic of the South Bank) and Mr. L.W. Turner (Yarsley Research Laboratories Ltd.).

Wir bringen dort Partner aus der Denkmalpflege, Architektur, Umwelt sowie der Bauindustrie zusammen, um historische und innovative Materialien und Techniken zu erforschen, zu erproben und zu zeigen. Zusammen mit der messtechnischen Begleitung der einzelnen Forschungsprojekte im Bereich der Energieeffizienz bei denkmalgeschützten Gebäuden dient die Alte Schäfflerei aus der Mitte des 18. Jahrhunderts als Anschauungsobjekt. Im Zuge der Maßnahmen wurde das sanierungsbedürftige Gebäude des historischen Handwerkerbereiches in Kloster Benediktbeuern erhalten und unter Berücksichtigung denkmalpflegerischer und energetischer Aspekte mit innovativen Lösungsansätzen instandgesetzt. Somit ist die innovative energetische Optimierung des Obergeschosses samt Dachwerksinstandsetzung eines der Beispiele, die musterhaft direkt am Gebäude gezeigt und auf weitere historische Gebäude angewandt werden können. Im Rahmen des Förderprojektes konnte der barocke Dachstuhl denkmalgerecht repariert werden. Durch die Dämmmaßnahme der obersten Geschossdecke kann das Dachgeschoss als hinterlüfteter Bereich bestehen bleiben. Dies bietet weiterhin die Möglichkeit das barocke Dachwerk für Besucher des Zentrums sichtbar zu belassen. Im Rahmen der energetischen Ertüchtigung des Obergeschosses des Kopfbaus durch Innendämmungen wurden Konzepte zur Optimierung der Bestandsfenster entwickelt und wissenschaftlich erforscht. Die Dämmmaßnahmen im Dachgeschoss des Kopfbaus wurden durch Wissenschaftler des Fraunhofer IBP messtechnisch begleitet und ausgewertet.

description: It has a long tradition to study trust behavior among humans or artificial agents by investigating the trust game. Although previous studies based on evolutionary game theory have revealed that trust and trustworthiness can be promoted if network structure or reputation is considered, they often assume that interactions among agents are one-shot and investors do not consider the investment environment before making decisions, which collide with many realistic situations. In this paper, we introduce the conditional investment strategy into the repeated N-player trust game, in which conditional investors decide to invest or not depending on their assessment of the trustworthiness level of the group. By using the approach of the Markov decision process, we study the evolutionary dynamics of trust in repeated group interactions with the conditional investment strategy. We find that conditional investors can form an effective alliance with trustworthy trustees, hence they can sweep out untrustworthy trustees. Moreover, we verify that such alliance can exist in a wide range of model parameters. These results may explain why trusting in others and reciprocating them with trustworthy actions can be sustained in game interactions among intelligent agents.

description: The concept of temperature in nonequilibrium thermodynamics is an outstanding theoretical issue. We propose an energy repartition principle that leads to a spectral (mode-dependent) temperature in steady-state nonequilibrium systems. The general concepts are illustrated by analytic solutions of the classical Heisenberg spin chain connected to Langevin heat reservoirs with arbitrary temperature profiles. Gradients of external magnetic fields are shown to localize spin waves in a Wannier-Zeemann fashion, while magnon interactions renormalize the spectral temperature. Our generic results are applicable to other thermodynamic systems such as Newtonian liquids, elastic solids, and Josephson junctions.

description: Prior foveated rendering methods often suffer from a limitation where the shading load escalates with increasing display resolution, leading to decreased efficiency, particularly when dealing with retinal-level resolutions. To tackle this challenge, we begin with the essence of the human visual system (HVS) perception and present visual acuity-consistent foveated rendering (VaFR), aiming to achieve exceptional rendering performance at retinal-level resolutions. Specifically, we propose a method with a novel log-polar mapping function derived from the human visual acuity model, which accommodates the natural bandwidth of the visual system. This mapping function and its associated shading rate guarantee a consistent output of rendering information, regardless of variations in the display resolution of the VR HMD. Consequently, our VaFR outperforms alternative methods, improving rendering speed while preserving perceptual visual quality, particularly when operating at retinal resolutions. We validate our approach using both the rasterization and ray-casting rendering pipelines. We also validate our approach using different binocular rendering strategies for HMD devices. In diverse testing scenarios, our approach delivers better perceptual visual quality than prior foveated rendering while achieving an impressive speedup of 6.5$\times$-9.29$\times$ for deferred rendering of 3D scenarios and an even more powerful speedup of 10.4$\times$-16.4$\times$ for ray-casting at retinal resolution. Additionally, our approach significantly enhances the rendering performance of binocular 8K path tracing, achieving smooth frame rates.

description: We present an evaluation of the background induced by $^{241}$Am-$^{13}$C neutron calibration sources in the Daya Bay reactor neutrino experiment. As a significant background for electron-antineutrino detection at 0.26$\pm$0.12 per detector per day on average, it has been estimated by a Monte Carlo simulation that was benchmarked by a special calibration data set. This dedicated data set also provided the energy spectrum of the background.

description: Many-body entanglement is at the heart of the Kondo effect, which has its hallmark in quantum dots as a zero-bias conductance peak at low temperatures. It signals the emergence of a conducting singlet state formed by a localized dot degree of freedom and conduction electrons. Carbon nanotubes offer the possibility to study the emergence of the Kondo entanglement by tuning many-body correlations with a gate voltage. Here we quantitatively show an undiscovered side of Kondo correlations, which counterintuitively tend to block conduction channels: inelastic cotunneling lines in the magnetospectrum of a carbon nanotube strikingly disappear when tuning the gate voltage. Considering the global \SUT\ $\otimes $ \SUT\ symmetry of a carbon nanotube coupled to leads, we find that only resonances involving flips of the Kramers pseudospins, associated to this symmetry, are observed at temperatures and voltages below the corresponding Kondo scale. Our results demonstrate the robust formation of entangled many-body states with no net pseudospin.
