description: The present rate of the expansion of our Universe, the Hubble constant, can be predicted from the cosmological model using measurements of the early Universe, or more directly measured from the late Universe. But as these measurements improved, a surprising disagreement between the two appeared. In 2019, a number of independent measurements of the late Universe using different methods and data provided consistent results making the discrepancy with the early Universe predictions increasingly hard to ignore. We review key advances realized by 2019: -- The local or late Universe measurement of the Hubble constant improved from 10% uncertainty twenty years ago to under 2% by the end of 2019. -- In 2019, multiple independent teams presented measurements with different methods and different calibrations to produce consistent results. -- These late Universe estimations disagree at 4$σ$ to 6$σ$ with predictions made from the Cosmic Microwave Background in conjunction with the standard cosmological model, a disagreement that is hard to explain or ignore.

description: This study tests the transferability of the nonmarket values of water conservation for domestic and environmental purposes across three south European countries and Australia applying a common choice experiment design. Diﬀerent approaches are followed to test the transferability of the estimated values, aiming to minimise transfer errors for use in policy analysis, comparing both single- and multicountry transfers, with and without socio-economic adjustments. Within Europe, signiﬁcant diﬀerences are found between implicit prices for environmental water use, but not for domestic water use. In the Australian case study, alleviating restrictions on domestic water use has no signiﬁcant value. Pooling the three European samples improves the transferability of the environmental ﬂow values between Europe and Australia. Results show that a reduction in transfer error is achieved when controlling for unobserved and observed preference heterogeneity in the single- and multicountry transfers, providing additional support for the superiority of socio-economic adjustment procedures in value transfer.

description: Assuming that a particle source is at rest in a locally non-rotating frame on the equatorial plane of the Kerr-Sen black hole, we investigate the escape of the massless particle and massive particle from the black hole to spatial infinity. We calculate the escape probabilities of the emitted particles. We find that the angular momentum of the Kerr-Sen black hole boosts the escape probabilities near the horizon of the extreme Kerr-Sen black hole; however the angular momentum of the Kerr-Sen black hole suppresses the escape probabilities near the horizon of the non-extreme Kerr-Sen black hole. We also discover that the horizon limit of the Kerr-Sen black hole is not the most difficult position to escape for a particle in certain conditions.

description: Software architectures are essential for describing complicated software systems and therefore, extended research has been done to explore qualitative aspects, such as the correctness of a system. However, quantitative features, like average response time or the maximum cost among all costs occurring most frequently within a specific number of components, have yet to be widely investigated. In this thesis, we introduce a weighted configuration logic addressed over the algebraic structure of product valuation monoids. Our logic serves as a specification language of software architectures. The aforementioned quantitative measures are further investigated under the scope of common architectural patterns using formulas which are consistent with our logic. Gradually, a complete framework, which leads to the construction of a unique (with respect to the equivalence relation) normal form for every logic formula, is established and concludes to the decidability of equivalence of formulas.

description: The balance of payments identity linking the current account to net domestic investment and foreign capital inﬂows is used as a framework to assess the eﬀects of a mining boom on the exchange rate. The exchange rate response is found to vary with whether the boom is generated by an increase in global demand or an increase in domestic supply, and the response varies over time as the boom moves through investment and production stages. Also, the exchange rate response depends on the mix of resident and nonresident investment funds, the share of the investment domestically sourced and the distribution of windfall income and its expenditure. A key result is the absence of a simple relationship between the terms of trade and the exchange rate.

It is based on an exact secular equation that we derived within the microscopic Bogoliubov--de Gennes (BdG) formalism. Results obtained from a classification of electron and hole orbits are in excellent agreement with those from an exact numerical diagonalization of the BdG equation. Our analysis opens up new possibilities for determining thermodynamic properties of mesoscopic hybrid systems.

description: The origin, geometry and kinematics of the broad line region (BLR) gas in quasars and active galactic nuclei (AGN) are uncertain. We demonstrate that clumpy biconical disc winds illuminated by an AGN continuum can produce BLR-like spectra. We first use a simple toy model to illustrate that disc winds make quite good BLR candidates, because they are self-shielded flows and can cover a large portion of the ionizing flux-density ($ϕ_H$-$n_H$) plane. We then conduct Monte Carlo radiative transfer and photoionization calculations, which fully account for self-shielding and multiple scattering in a non-spherical geometry. The emergent model spectra show broad emission lines with equivalent widths and line ratios comparable to those observed in AGN, provided that the wind has a volume filling factor of $f_V\lesssim0.1$. Similar emission line spectra are produced for a variety of wind geometries (polar or equatorial) and for launch radii that differ by an order of magnitude. The line emission arises almost exclusively from plasma travelling below the escape velocity, implying that `failed winds' are important BLR candidates. The behaviour of a line-emitting wind (and possibly any `smooth flow' BLR model) is similar to that of the locally optimally-emitting cloud (LOC) model originally proposed by Baldwin et al (1995), except that the gradients in ionization state and temperature are large-scale and continuous, rather than within or between distinct clouds. Our models also produce UV absorption lines and X-ray absorption features, and the stratified ionization structure can partially explain the different classes of broad absorption line quasars.

Many copies may be required for entanglement distillation

description: A mixed quantum state shared between two parties is said to be distillable if, by means of a protocol involving only local quantum operations and classical communication, the two parties can transform some number of copies of that state into a single shared pair of qubits having high fidelity with a maximally entangled state state. In this paper it is proved that there exist states that are distillable, but for which an arbitrarily large number of copies is required before any distillation procedure can produce a shared pair of qubits with even a small amount of entanglement. Specifically, for every positive integer n there exists a state that is distillable, but given n or fewer copies of that state every distillation procedure outputting a single shared pair of qubits will output those qubits in a separable state. Essentially all previous examples of states proved to be distillable were such that some distillation procedure could output an entangled pair of qubits given a single copy of the state in question.

description: Disturbances such as atmospheric turbulence and aero-optic effects lead to wavefront aberrations, which degrade performance in imaging and laser propagation applications. Adaptive optics (AO) provide a method to mitigate these effects by pre-compensating the wavefront before propagation. However, development and testing of AO systems requires wavefront aberration data, which is difficult and expensive to obtain. Simulation methods can be used to generate such data less expensively. For atmospheric turbulence, the Kolmogorov-Taylor model provides a well-defined power spectrum that can be combined with the well-known angular spectrum method to generate synthetic phase screens. However, as aero-optics cannot be similarly generalized, this process cannot be applied to aero-optically relevant phenomena. In this paper, we introduce ReVAR (Re-Whitened Vector Auto-Regression), a novel algorithm for data-driven aero-optic phase screen generation. ReVAR trains on an input time-series of spatially and temporally correlated wavefront images from experiment and then generates synthetic data that captures the statistics present in the experimental data. The first training step of ReVAR distills the input images to a set of prediction weights and residuals. A further step we call re-whitening uses a spatial principal component analysis (PCA) to whiten these residuals. ReVAR then uses a white noise generator and inverts the previous transformation to construct synthetic time-series of data. This algorithm is computationally efficient, able to generate arbitrarily long synthetic time-series, and produces high-quality results when tested on turbulent boundary layer (TBL) data measured from a wind tunnel experiment. Using measured data for training, the temporal power spectral density (TPSD) of data generated using ReVAR closely matches the TPSD of the experimental data.

description: The Kerr-Schild double copy relates exact solutions of gauge and gravity theories. In all previous examples, the gravity solution is associated with an abelian-like gauge theory object, which linearises the Yang-Mills equations. This appears to be at odds with the double copy for scattering amplitudes, in which the non-abelian nature of the gauge theory plays a crucial role. Furthermore, it is not yet clear whether or not global properties of classical fields - such as non-trivial topology - can be matched between gauge and gravity theories. In this paper, we clarify these issues by explicitly demonstrating how magnetic monopoles associated with arbitrary gauge groups can be double copied to the same solution (the pure NUT metric) in gravity. We further describe how to match up topological information on both sides of the double copy correspondence, independently of the nature of the gauge group. This information is neatly expressed in terms of Wilson line operators, and we argue through specific examples that they provide a useful bridge between the classical double copy and the BCJ double copy for scattering amplitudes.

description: The relation of the recently proposed E(5) critical point symmetry with the interacting boson model is investigated. The large-N limit of the interacting boson model at the critical point in the transition from U(5) to O(6) is obtained by solving the Richardson equations. It is shown explicitly that this algebraic calculation leads to the same results as the solution of the Bohr differential equation with a $β^4$ potential.

description: There are limitations associated with the application of nonmarket valuation techniques, including choice experiments, in subsistence economies. In part, this is due to the concern that using money as a mode of contribution may not capture the potential contribution of low-income households. To address this limitation, respondents in this study were provided with the option of contributing towards the management of invasive plants in labour terms if they were unwilling to contribute in monetary terms. The results show that the existing practice of using dollar values to estimate willingness to contribute may disproportionately exclude the concerns of some groups within the community. The analysis also indicates that allowing respondents to express their willingness to contribute in labour increases their participation in environmental decision-making processes and hence increases the estimated value of forest ecosystem services. This study contributes to the limited empirical literature on the development of nonmarket valuation surveys, particularly choice experiments, in low-income countries in general and rural areas in particular.

description: The present thesis aims to investigate, starting with the process and the importance of creating productions of cultural value. Specifically experimental theatre, in the 21st century environment, focusing on theatre groups composed of young professional or semi-professional artists. Subsequently, the investigation will move on to the concept of marketing and the ways it contributes to the creation of effective strategies in terms of communication with the public as well as managing said theatre groups and their productions. Moreover, it will examine the probability of accessing and utilizing financing tools such as private sponsorship and European funds towards culture, which are directly related to the target of maintaining sustainable economical growth for such groups. This attempt at an accurate portrayal of the Greek cultural circumstances will be based on three individual theatre group case studies as well as on the distinct example of “Faltsoi” (Apo ton pempto stiho kiolas Faltsoi) theatre group. These will serve as illustrations of culture-based organizations alternative fund resources.

description: Feelings of ‚being left behind', which, according to the discourse, could be found especially in rural areas, are often used as an explanation for the success of the Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) in the 2017 federal elections Bundestag elections. What is meant by ‚being left behind' is not scientifically defined. In this Thünen Working Paper I therefore examine systematically what meanings are discursively attached to the expression 'being left behind' in the context of the AfD election success of 2017 and rural regions and in which content connections it is embed-ded. For this, I use the methodology of Grounded Theory. The material corpus consists of 233 articles (online and print) of the popular-medial discourse. In addition to articles from national daily and weekly newspapers, I have also included articles from regional newspapers and, due to the online search, magazine articles as well as occasional television and audio contributions. The review of the print media was limited to the third and fourth quarters of 2017. In the above mentioned context situated, three different discursive forms of ‘being left behind’ – infrastruc-tural, economic and cultural – become evident. ‘Being left behind’ goes hand in hand with a conglomeration of feelings of fear, dissatisfaction, powerlessness, and with the criticism of the democratic system itself.

description: Hubble Space Telescope imaging shows that most star-forming galaxies at cosmic noon -- the peak of cosmic star formation history -- appear disk-dominated, leaving the origin of the dense cores in their quiescent descendants unclear. With the James Webb Space Telescope's (JWST) high-resolution imaging to 5 μm, we can now map the rest-frame near-infrared emission, a much closer proxy for stellar mass distribution, in these massive galaxies. We selected 70 star-forming galaxies with 10$<$log(M)$<$12 and 1.5$<$z$<$3 in the CEERS survey and compare their morphologies in the rest-frame optical to those in the rest-frame near-IR. While the bulk of these galaxies are disk-dominated in 1.5 μm (rest-frame optical) imaging, they appear more bulge-dominated at 4.4 μm (rest-frame near-infrared). Our analysis reveals that in massive star-forming galaxies at z$\sim$2, the radial surface brightness profiles steepen significantly, from a slope of $\sim$0.3/dex at 1.5 μm to $\sim$1.4/dex at 4.4 μm within radii $<$ 1 kpc. Additionally, we find their total flux contained within the central 1 kpc is approximately 7 times higher in F444W than in F150W. In rest-optical emission, a galaxy's central surface density appears to be the strongest indicator of whether it is quenched or star-forming. Our most significant finding is that at redder wavelengths, the central surface density ratio between quiescent and star-forming galaxies dramatically decreases from $\sim$10 to $\sim$1. This suggests the high central densities associated with galaxy quenching are already in place during the star-forming phase, imposing new constraints on the transition from star formation to quiescence.

description: We review the current knowledge about nuclear star clusters (NSCs), the spectacularly dense and massive assemblies of stars found at the centers of most galaxies. Recent observational and theoretical work suggest that many NSC properties, including their masses, densities, and stellar populations vary with the properties of their host galaxies. Understanding the formation, growth, and ultimate fate of NSCs therefore is crucial for a complete picture of galaxy evolution. Throughout the review, we attempt to combine and distill the available evidence into a coherent picture of NSC evolution. Combined, this evidence points to a clear transition mass in galaxies of ~10^9 solar masses where the characteristics of nuclear star clusters change. We argue that at lower masses, NSCs are formed primarily from globular clusters that inspiral into the center of the galaxy, while at higher masses, star formation within the nucleus forms the bulk of the NSC. We also discuss the coexistence of NSCs and central black holes, and how their growth may be linked. The extreme densities of NSCs and their interaction with massive black holes lead to a wide range of unique phenomena including tidal disruption and gravitational wave events. Lastly, we review the evidence that many NSCs end up in the halos of massive galaxies stripped of the stars that surrounded them, thus providing valuable tracers of the galaxies' accretion histories.

description: Abridged: The small-- and intermediate--scale structure and the fraction of the ISM ionized by non--radiative processes is investigated in a small sample of four local starburst galaxies, imaged with the HST WFPC2. The sample comprises three dwarf galaxies, NGC3077, NGC4214, and NGC5253, and one giant spiral, NGC5236 (M83). The galaxies span a range in metallicity, luminosity, and environment, enabling the investigation of non--radiative ionization processes in a variety of galactic conditions. For this purpose, the four galaxies were imaged in the lines of H-beta(4861 A), [OIII](5007 A), H-alpha(6563 A), and [SII](6717,6731 A). The non--photoionized gas in these galaxies has been traced on scales ranging from a few tens of pc to a few hundred pc, providing a full budget for this ionized gas component. Using the `maximum starburst line' of Kewley et al. (2001) to discriminate between photoionized and non--photoionized gas, we find that in all four galaxies non--photoionization processes are responsible for a small fraction of the total H-alpha emission, at the level of 3%--4%. The starbursts in the three dwarf galaxies deposit a significant fraction, 70%-100%, of their mechanical energy into the surrounding interstellar medium and require time--extended (a few x 10^7 yr to ~10^8 yr) star formation, in order to account for the observed luminosity of the non--photoionized gas. In the massive spiral, the non--photoionized gas is concentrated in localized areas surrounded by active star--formation, with no evidence for extended structures (as those in the dwarfs). This confirms the picture that starbursts remain confined events in massive galaxies, likely due to the deep potential well.

Ξεκινάμε από τα βασικά, εισάγοντας τα τανυστικά γινόμενα και εφοδιάζοντάς τα με C*-νόρμες. Ορίζουμε πότε μια C*-άλγεβρα είναι πυρηνική και βλέπουμε παραδείγματα. Αποδεικνύουμε το θεώρημα του Takesaki για το ότι η χωρική (spatial) νόρμα είναι η ελάχιστη και, σε ένα πιο κατηγορικό πλαίσιο, μελετάμε ακριβείς ακολουθίες. Παρουσιάζουμε την στοιχειώδη θεωρία των πλήρως θετικών απεικονίσεων και καταλήγουμε σε ένα δύσκολο θεώρημα των Choi, Effros και Kirchberg το οποίο χαρακτηρίζει τις πυρηνικές C*-άλγεβρες ως τις έχουσες την “πλήρως θετική ιδιότητα προσέγγισης”. Κλείνουμε την εργασία αυτή με μια σύντομη μελέτη φυσικών εγκλεισμών μεταξύ μέγιστων τανυστικών γινομένων και με μια εφαρμογή στην πυρηνικότητα C*-αλγεβρών που συσχετίζονται με διακριτές ομάδες.
description: The project is an exploration of C*-tensor products with emphasis given in the property of nuclearity. We begin from scratch, introducing tensor products and their properties and defining C*-norms on them. We define nuclearity of C*-algebras and provide examples. We prove Takesaki's theorem about the minimality of the spatial norm and we study short-exact sequences in a more categorical approach. We investigate all the necessary theory of completely positive maps as a precursor to proving a deep theorem of Choi, Effros and Kirchberg that characterizes nuclear C*-algebras as those that possess the “completely positive approximation property". We conclude our survey with a brief study of induced inclusions on maximal tensor products and an application to the nuclearity of C*-algebras associated to discrete groups.

description: Context: Deep GALEX UV data show that the extreme outskirts of some spiral galaxies are teeming with star formation. Such young stellar populations evolving so far away from the bulk of their host galaxies challenge our overall understanding of how star formation proceeds at galactic scales. It is at present unclear whether our own Milky Way may also exhibit ongoing and recent star formation beyond the conventional edge of the disk ($\sim 15$ kpc). Aims: Using \textit{Gaia} DR2 data, we aim to determine if such a population is present in the Galactic halo, beyond the nominal radius of the Milky Way disk. Methods: We studied the kinematics of \textit{Gaia} DR2 sources with parallax values between 1/60 and 1/30 milliarcseconds towards two regions that show abnormally high values of extinction and reddening; the results are compared with predictions from GALAXIA Galactic model. We also plotted the color-magnitude (CM) diagrams with heliocentric distances computed inverting the parallaxes, and studied the effects of the large parallax errors by Monte Carlo sampling. Results: The kinematics point towards a Galactic origin for one of the regions, while the provenance of the stars in the other is not clear. A spectroscopic analysis of some of the sources in the first region confirms that they are located in the halo. The CM diagram of the sources suggests that some of them are young.

description: The crystal structure of barium-germanium clathrate Ba6Ge25 was studied using neutron powder diffraction in the temperature range 20-300K. The compound was found to be cubic (S.G. P4_1 23) in the entire temperature range. However, the fully-ordered model of the crystal structure (no split sites) is marginal at room temperature, and clearly fails at low temperature. A much better description of the crystal structure below 250K is given in terms of two split Ba sites, with random occupancies, for two out of three types of cages present in the Ba6Ge25 structure. The Ba atoms were found to interact strongly with the Ge host. The separation of the split Ba sites grows with decreasing temperature, with a sudden increase on cooling through the 200-250K temperature range, accompanied by an expansion of the entire crystal structure. We propose a simple model for this transition, based on temperature-induced de- trapping of Ba from a deep double-well potential. This transition is associated with sizeable anomalies in the transport and magnetic properties. The most significant of these effects, that is, the drop in electrical conductivity on cooling, can be easily explained within our model through the enhanced structural disorder, which would affect the relaxation time for all portions of the Fermi surface. We suggest that the other anomalies (increase in the absolute value of the negative Seebeck coefficient, decrease in the magnetic susceptibility) can be explained within the framework of the one-electron semi- classical model, without any need to invoke exotic electron-electron interaction mechanisms.

Statistical Interpretation of LMC Microlensing Candidates

description: After a decade of gravitational microlensing experiments, a dozen of microlensing candidates in the direction of the stars of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) have been detected by the EROS and MACHO groups. Recently it was shown that the distribution of the duration of the observed LMC microlensing events is significantly narrower than what is expected from the standard halo model. In this article we make the same comparison, using non-standard halo models and considering the contribution of non-halo components of the Milky Way such as the disc, spheroid and LMC itself in the microlensing events. Comparing the theoretical and experimental widths of distributions of the duration of events shows that neither standard nor non-standard halo models are compatible with the microlensing data at least with 95 per cent of confidence. This results maybe explained if (i) the MACHOs in the Galactic halo reside in clumpy structures or (ii) the durations of events have been underestimated due to the blending effect.

description: Galaxy cluster mergers are believed to generate large-scale shock waves that are ideal sites for electron acceleration. We compute radio emission light curves for galaxy group and cluster mergers simulated in a cosmological context to study the dependence of radio luminosity on cluster mass, redshift, and impact parameter. We used model galaxy clusters from The Three Hundred project to identify cluster mergers characterised by the two main merging structures and follow their evolution throughout the simulated cosmic history. We found that the median non-thermal radio relic luminosity light curve produced in galaxy cluster mergers can be described by a skewed Gaussian function abruptly rising after core-passage of the secondary cluster that peaks after $\sim0.1-0.8\,$Gyr as a function of $M_{200,1}$, the mass of the primary, displaying a mass-dependent luminosity output increase of $\lesssim10$ to about $\gtrsim10-50$ times relative to the radio emission measured at core-passage for galaxy groups and clusters, respectively. In general, most merger orbits are fairly radial with a median opening angle of $\sim20^{\circ}$ before the collision. We also found that, independent of the cluster mass, less radial mergers tend to last longer, although the trend is weak. Finally, we found that the peak radio luminosity shows a significant correlation with mass, $P_{1.4}\propto M_{200,1}^{2.05}$, demonstrating that this relation holds all the way up from galaxy group scales to the most massive galaxy clusters. We conclude that cluster mass is the primary driver for radio `gischt' median luminosity, although there are significant variations for a given cluster mass. Our simulations suggest that the shock-driven, non-thermal radio emission observed on cluster outskirts are the result of massive galaxy cluster mergers at $z\lesssim1$, peaking at $z\sim0-0.5$.
