description: By extending the Kac-Rice approach to manifolds of finite internal dimension, we show that the mean number $\left\langle\mathcal{N}_\mathrm{tot}\right\rangle$ of all possible equilibria (i.e. force-free configurations, a.k.a. equilibrium points) of an elastic line (directed polymer), confined in a harmonic well and submitted to a quenched random Gaussian potential in dimension $d=1+1$, grows exponentially $\left\langle\mathcal{N}_\mathrm{tot}\right\rangle\sim\exp{(r\,L)}$ with its length $L$. The growth rate $r$ is found to be directly related to the generalised Lyapunov exponent (GLE) which is a moment-generating function characterising the large-deviation type fluctuations of the solution to the initial value problem associated with the random Schrödinger operator of the 1D Anderson localization problem. For strong confinement, the rate $r$ is small and given by a non-perturbative (instanton, Lifshitz tail-like) contribution to GLE. For weak confinement, the rate $r$ is found to be proportional to the inverse Larkin length of the pinning theory. As an application, identifying the depinning with a landscape "topology trivialization" phenomenon, we obtain an upper bound for the depinning threshold $f_c$, in the presence of an applied force, for elastic lines and $d$-dimensional manifolds, expressed through the mean modulus of the spectral determinant of the Laplace operators with a random potential. We also discuss the question of counting of stable equilibria. Finally, we extend the method to calculate the asymptotic number of equilibria at fixed energy (elastic, potential and total), and obtain the (annealed) distribution of the energy density over these equilibria (i.e. force-free configurations). Some connections with the Larkin model are also established.

Subjects: Marketing communications

description: Earlier previous interactions and transactions were the only means for the companies to collect information about their customers. But with the increasing popularity of social media platforms and availability of data from various other resources to the companies has largely influenced the ways of marketing and communication between companies and their customers through digital marketing CRM. It has been proved through various announcement made in near past by Facebook, a social media network, that the data provided by the users with Facebook will enable the companies to link it with their customer's data. In this way social platforms have started to be an integral part of traditional CRM strategies.
The Effects of Inequality, Density, and Heterogeneous Residential Preferences on Urban Displacement and Metropolitan Structure: An Agent-Based Model

Subjects: subject: Physics and Society (physics.soc-ph)

description: Urban displacement - when a household is forced to relocate due to conditions affecting its home or surroundings - often results from rising housing costs, particularly in wealthy, prosperous cities. However, its dynamics are complex and often difficult to understand. This paper presents an agent-based model of urban settlement, agglomeration, displacement, and sprawl. New settlements form around a spatial amenity that draws initial, poor settlers to subsist on the resource. As the settlement grows, subsequent settlers of varying income, skills, and interests are heterogeneously drawn to either the original amenity or to the emerging human agglomeration. As this agglomeration grows and densifies, land values increase, and the initial poor settlers are displaced from the spatial amenity on which they relied. Through path dependence, high-income residents remain clustered around this original amenity for which they have no direct use or interest. This toy model explores these dynamics, demonstrating a simplified mechanism of how urban displacement and gentrification can be sensitive to income inequality, density, and varied preferences for different types of amenities.

description: This paper addresses the boundary stabilization of a flexible wing model, both in bending and twisting displacements, under unsteady aerodynamic loads, and in presence of a store. The wing dynamics is captured by a distributed parameter system as a coupled Euler-Bernoulli and Timoshenko beam model. The problem is tackled in the framework of semigroup theory, and a Lyapunov-based stability analysis is carried out to assess that the system energy, as well as the bending and twisting displacements, decay exponentially to zero. The effectiveness of the proposed boundary control scheme is evaluated based on simulations.

description: Clouds play an important role in the climate system; nonetheless, the relationship between climate change in general and regional cloud occurrence is not yet well understood. This particularly holds for remote areas such as the iconic Galapagos archipelago in Ecuador. As a first step towards a better understanding, we analyzed the spatio-temporal patterns of cloud cover over Galapagos. We found that cloud frequency and distribution exhibit large inter- and intra-annual variability due to the changing influence of climatic drivers (trade winds, sea surface temperature, El Niño/La Niña events) and spatial variations due to terrain characteristics and location within the archipelago. The highest cloud frequencies occur in mid-elevations on the slopes exposed to the southerly trade winds (south-east slopes). Towards the highlands ( >900 m a.s.l), cloud frequency decreases, with a sharp leap towards high-level crater areas mainly on Isabela Island that frequently immerse into the trade inversion layer. With respect to the diurnal cycle, we found a lower cloud frequency over the islands in the evening than in the morning. Seasonally, cloud frequency is higher during the hot season (January–May) than in the cool season (June–December). However, spatial differences in cloudiness were more pronounced during the cool season months. We further analyzed two periods beyond average atmospheric forcing. During El Niño 2015, the cloud frequency was higher than usual, and differences between altitudes and aspects were less pronounced. La Niña 2007 led to negative anomalies in cloud frequency over the islands, with intensified differences between altitude and aspect.
Gapless Topological Order, Gravity, and Black Holes

description: In this work we demonstrate that linearized gravity exhibits gapless topological order with an extensive ground state degeneracy. This phenomenon is closely related both to the topological order of the pyrochlore U(1) spin liquid and to recent work by Hawking et. al. who used the soft photon and graviton theorems to demonstrate that the vacuum in linearized gravity is not unique. We first consider lattice models whose low-energy behavior are described by electromagnetism and linearized gravity, and then argue that the topological nature of these models carries over into the continuum. We demonstrate that these models can have many ground states without making assumptions about the topology of spacetime or about the high-energy nature of the theory, and show that the infinite family of symmetries described by Hawking et. al. are simply the difierent topological sectors. We argue that in this context black holes appear as topological defects in the IR theory, and that this suggests a potential approach to understanding both the firewall paradox and information encoding in gravitational theories. Finally, we use insights from the soft boson theorems to make connections between deconfined gauge theories with continuous gauge groups and gapless topological order.

description: Taking the neutrino oscillation data into consideration, a dimensionless parameter $Δ= (m_3-m_1)/(m_3+m_1)$ is adopted to parameterize the three neutrino mass eigenstates and the normal (positive $Δ$) or inverted (negative $Δ$) mass hierarchies in three typical cosmological models. Using the currently available cosmic observational data, several Markov Chain Monte Carlo chains are obtained with uniform priors on the free parameters at first. Applying importance sampling the results are compared with three new priors, i.e., logarithmic prior on $|Δ|$, linear and logarithmic priors on $Σm_ν$. It turns out that the three new priors increase the upper limits of neutrino mass, but do not change the tendency towards different model's preference for different hierarchies, i.e., the normal hierarchy tends to be favored by $Λ$CDM and $w$CDM, which, however, disappears in the $w_0 w_a$CDM model. In addition, the almost symmetrical contours in the $w-Δ$, $w_0-Δ$, $w_a-Δ$ planes indicate that the normal and inverted hierarchy have strong degeneracy. Finally, we perform a Bayesian model comparison analysis, finding that flat linear prior on $Δ$ and $w_0 w_a$CDM are the most preferred prior and model, respectively.

description: We study the popular centrality measure known as effective conductance or in some circles as information centrality. This is an important notion of centrality for undirected networks, with many applications, e.g., for random walks, electrical resistor networks, epidemic spreading, etc. In this paper, we first reinterpret this measure in terms of modulus (energy) of families of walks on the network. This modulus centrality measure coincides with the effective conductance measure on simple undirected networks, and extends it to much more general situations, e.g., directed networks as well. Secondly, we study a variation of this modulus approach in the egocentric network paradigm. Egonetworks are networks formed around a focal node (ego) with a specific order of neighborhoods. We propose efficient analytical and approximate methods for computing these measures on both undirected and directed networks. Finally, we describe a simple method inspired by the modulus point-of-view, called shell degree, which proved to be a useful tool for network science.

description: We show that a partially massless graviton can propagate on a large set of spacetimes which are not Einstein spacetimes. Starting from a recently constructed theory for a massive graviton that propagates the correct number of degrees of freedom on an arbitrary spacetime, we first give the full explicit form of the scalar constraint responsible for the absence of a sixth degree of freedom. We then spell out generic conditions for the constraint to be identically satisfied, so that there is a scalar gauge symmetry which makes the graviton partially massless. These simplify if one assumes that spacetime is Ricci symmetric. Under this assumption, we find explicit non-Einstein spacetimes allowing for the propagation of a partially massless graviton.

Spin-dependent $μ\to e$ conversion

description: The experimental sensitivity to $μ\to e$ conversion on nuclei is expected to improve by four orders of magnitude in coming years. We consider the impact of $μ\to e$ flavour-changing tensor and axial-vector four-fermion operators which couple to the spin of nucleons. Such operators, which have not previously been considered, contribute to $μ\to e$ conversion in three ways: in nuclei with spin they mediate a spin-dependent transition; in all nuclei they contribute to the coherent ($A^2$-enhanced) spin-independent conversion via finite recoil effects and via loop mixing with dipole, scalar, and vector operators. We estimate the spin-dependent rate in Aluminium (the target of the upcoming COMET and Mu2e experiments), show that the loop effects give the greatest sensitivity to tensor and axial-vector operators involving first-generation quarks, and discuss the complementarity of the spin-dependent and independent contributions to $μ\to e$ conversion

description: The direct detection of Gravitational Waves (GWs) in 2015 revealed an entirely new way of studying the Universe and fundamental physics. This tremendous achievement, almost 100 years since the initial study of GWs by Einstein, allows us to see into regions invisible to our standard Electromagnetic (EM) observations, from the primordial universe to the interior of neutron stars. In this thesis, we exploit this new probe to investigate a number of physical characteristics of the Universe and to test our current understanding of Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity. To accomplish this, we use powerful cosmological simulations, which are able to replicate the observed large-scale structure down to complex, non-linear scales. More specifically: In Chapter 1, we review the current paradigm of cosmology, the LCDM model and its limitations. We motivate some of the fundamental assumptions and problems that we aim to tackle in the next chapters, and provide a brief introduction to GWs and their propagation in spacetime. In Chapter 2, we describe our numerical simulations and their outputs for the values of gravitational potentials. In Chapter 3, we exploit GWs Standard Sirens, i.e. GWs observations where we are able to locate their counterpart sources in the EM spectrum, in order to constrain the level of inhomogeneities in our Universe. In parallel, we test possible degeneracies of the former with theories that modify general relativity. In Chapter 4, we study the presence of inhomogeneities on the propagation of GWs. We derive a modified propagation equation due to the presence of matter anisotropies. We solve the latter numerically, exploiting realistic environments from numerical simulations. For this, we develop a novel ray-tracing approach. As a result, we are able to derive potential effects on the stochastic GW background and examine lensing observables and their cosmological applications. Finally, in Chapter 5, we investigate the power of galaxies’ clustering on a statistical method of determination of the Hubble-Lemaˆıtre parameter based on GWs. Since the majority of GWs observations will not have an EM counterpart, we can combine in a statistical way, the galaxies that reside within the GWs sky localisation region, in order to determine H0. We estimate the capabilities of the method, in realistic environments with clustered galaxies, from numerical simulations. At the same time, we evaluate the importance of clustering, when galaxies are missing from survey catalogues, due to observational limitations.

description: In the spring of 1964 construction work took place for the foundations of the new Shakespeare's Head public house in Southgate Street, Leicester. In the course of this work a number of features of Roman and later date were observed. The subject of the present paper is a shallow pit containing kiln material and wasters discovered in the north east corner of the site. Although no accurate dating evidence was found, the kiln appears to have been producing wares comparable to the Thetford ware family of Saxo-Norman pottery of the tenth and eleventh centuries A.D.

The analogous result was shown in equal characteristic by Ein-Lazarsfeld-Smith and Hochster-Huneke.

description: In 1960 excavations in the churchyard at Kirby Bellars produced over 500 sherds of pottery dating from the Roman period to the present day. Over 350 of these were unstratified in the top three feet of disturbed soil but another 100 sherds were stratified, providing a most important sequence. The earliest finds, dating from the Saxon period, were found at the bottom of a narrow ditch. The top of the ditch was filled with early medieval pottery, while above this were traces of timber and cob buildings associated with thirteenth- and fourteenth-century pottery.

description: Archaeological investigation undertaken between November 2013 and February 2014, at the Catthorpe Interchange, M1 Junction 19, Leicestershire, revealed evidence for two phases of Roman activity. A series of quarry pits was followed by two enclosures, droveways and field boundary ditches, indicating the presence of a probable agricultural complex. A moderate assemblage of Roman pottery was recovered, with more closely datable forms suggesting a Middle Roman date for the assemblage as a whole. Extensive medieval ridge-and-furrow agriculture had truncated much of the earlier archaeological evidence.

description: The recovery of approximately sparse or compressible coefficients in a Polynomial Chaos Expansion is a common goal in modern parametric uncertainty quantification (UQ). However, relatively little effort in UQ has been directed toward theoretical and computational strategies for addressing the sparse corruptions problem, where a small number of measurements are highly corrupted. Such a situation has become pertinent today since modern computational frameworks are sufficiently complex with many interdependent components that may introduce hardware and software failures, some of which can be difficult to detect and result in a highly polluted simulation result. In this paper we present a novel compressive sampling-based theoretical analysis for a regularized $\ell^1$ minimization algorithm that aims to recover sparse expansion coefficients in the presence of measurement corruptions. Our recovery results are uniform, and prescribe algorithmic regularization parameters in terms of a user-defined a priori estimate on the ratio of measurements that are believed to be corrupted. We also propose an iteratively reweighted optimization algorithm that automatically refines the value of the regularization parameter, and empirically produces superior results. Our numerical results test our framework on several medium-to-high dimensional examples of solutions to parameterized differential equations, and demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach.

description: We present results on the light, strange and charm nucleon scalar and tensor charges from lattice QCD, using simulations with $N_f=2$ flavors of twisted mass Clover-improved fermions with a physical value of the pion mass. Both connected and disconnected contributions are included, enabling us to extract the isoscalar, strange and charm charges for the first time directly at the physical point. Furthermore, the renormalization is computed non-perturbatively for both isovector and isoscalar quantities. We investigate excited state effects by analyzing several sink-source time separations and by employing a set of methods to probe ground state dominance. Our final results for the scalar charges are $g_S^u = 5.20(42)(15)(12)$, $g_S^d = 4.27(26)(15)(12)$, $g_S^s=0.33(7)(1)(4)$, $g_S^c=0.062(13)(3)(5)$ and for the tensor charges $g_T^u = 0.782(16)(2)(13)$, $g_T^d = -0.219(10)(2)(13)$, $g_T^s=-0.00319(69)(2)(22)$, $g_T^c=-0.00263(269)(2)(37)$ in the $\overline{\rm MS}$ scheme at 2~GeV. The first error is statistical, the second is the systematic error due to the renormalization and the third the systematic arising from possible contamination due to the excited states.

description: An approximate dual representation for non-Abelian lattice gauge theories in terms of a new set of dynamical variables, the plaquette occupation numbers (PONs) that are natural numbers, is discussed. They are the expansion indices of the local series of the expansion of the Boltzmann factors for every plaquette of the Yang-Mills action. After studying the constraints due to gauge symmetry, the SU(2) gauge theory is solved using Monte Carlo simulations. For a PONs configuration the weight factor is given by Haar-measure integrals over all links whose integrands are products of powers of plaquettes. Herein, updates are limited to changes of the PON at a plaquette or all PONs on a coordinate plane. The Markov chain transition probabilities are computed employing truncated maximal trees and the Metropolis algorithm. The algorithm performance is investigated with different types of updates for the plaquette mean value over a large range of $β$s. Using a $12^4$ lattice very good agreement with a conventional heath bath algorithm is found for the strong and weak coupling limits. Deviations from the latter being below 0.1% for $2.5 < β< 3$. The mass of the lightest $J^{PC}=0^{++}$ glueball is evaluated and reproduces the results found in the literature.

description: The thermalization of hot carriers and phonons gives direct insight into the scattering processes that mediate electrical and thermal transport. Obtaining the scattering rates for both hot carriers and phonons currently requires multiple measurements with incommensurate timescales. Here, transient extreme-ultraviolet (XUV) spectroscopy on the silicon 2p core level at 100 eV is used to measure hot carrier and phonon thermalization in Si(100) from tens of femtoseconds to 200 ps following photoexcitation of the indirect transition to the Δ valley at 800 nm. The ground state XUV spectrum is first theoretically predicted using a combination of a single plasmon pole model and the Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE) with density functional theory (DFT). The excited state spectrum is predicted by incorporating the electronic effects of photo-induced state-filling, broadening, and band-gap renormalization into the ground state XUV spectrum. A time-dependent lattice deformation and expansion is also required to describe the excited state spectrum. The kinetics of these structural components match the kinetics of phonons excited from the electron-phonon and phonon-phonon scattering processes following photoexcitation. Separating the contributions of electronic and structural effects on the transient XUV spectra allows the carrier population, the population of phonons involved in inter- and intra-valley electron-phonon scattering, and the population of phonons involved in phonon-phonon scattering to be quantified as a function of delay time.

description: We give necessary and sufficient conditions for moduli spaces of semistable chains on a curve to be irreducible and non-empty. This gives information on the irreducible components of the nilpotent cone of GL_n-Higgs bundles and the irreducible components of moduli of systems of Hodge bundles on curves. As we do not impose coprimality restrictions, we can apply this to prove connectedness for moduli spaces of U(p,q)-Higgs bundles.

description: The distribution of matter in the universe is, to first order, lognormal. Improving this approximation requires characterization of the third moment (skewness) of the log density field. Thus, using Millennium Simulation phenomenology and building on previous work, we present analytic fits for the mean, variance, and skewness of the log density field $A$. We further show that a Generalized Extreme Value (GEV) distribution accurately models $A$; we submit that this GEV behavior is the result of strong intrapixel correlations, without which the smoothed distribution would tend (by the Central Limit Theorem) toward a Gaussian. Our GEV model yields cumulative distribution functions accurate to within 1.7 per cent for near-concordance cosmologies, over a range of redshifts and smoothing scales.

description: Linking human whole-body motion and natural language is of great interest for the generation of semantic representations of observed human behaviors as well as for the generation of robot behaviors based on natural language input. While there has been a large body of research in this area, most approaches that exist today require a symbolic representation of motions (e.g. in the form of motion primitives), which have to be defined a-priori or require complex segmentation algorithms. In contrast, recent advances in the field of neural networks and especially deep learning have demonstrated that sub-symbolic representations that can be learned end-to-end usually outperform more traditional approaches, for applications such as machine translation. In this paper we propose a generative model that learns a bidirectional mapping between human whole-body motion and natural language using deep recurrent neural networks (RNNs) and sequence-to-sequence learning. Our approach does not require any segmentation or manual feature engineering and learns a distributed representation, which is shared for all motions and descriptions. We evaluate our approach on 2,846 human whole-body motions and 6,187 natural language descriptions thereof from the KIT Motion-Language Dataset. Our results clearly demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed model: We show that our model generates a wide variety of realistic motions only from descriptions thereof in form of a single sentence. Conversely, our model is also capable of generating correct and detailed natural language descriptions from human motions.
