description: In recent years concerns about social cohesion and religious toleration have become increasingly problematic and fraught in Australia. Religious vilification laws are one way that governments have sought to address these issues, with mixed results. In the context of these concerns, this thesis focuses on the question of state toleration of religion as distinct from interpersonal tolerance (and argues for the importance of this distinction) and to analyse the shape and rationale of such a policy. It argues that state toleration can be understood as the product of a concept of religion in relation to the development of the modern sovereign state. The nature and origin of this dynamic is illustrated well by John Locke's arguments for religious toleration at the end of the 17th Century. Locke and his French contemporary, Pierre Bayle, both argued for a concept of toleration that understood religion as individual, conscientious belief and limits the applicability of the concept of toleration to contemporary conflicts. This is illustrated clearly in changes to the way that blasphemy and religious offence were subsequently treated in the West. Religions that do not fit within the inherited definition have prompted alternative approaches. The consequences of this are illustrated by the discourse around religious identity and vilification. The Rushdie Affair in Britain and anti-vilification legislation in Australia puts forward an alternative definition of religion as an ascriptive identity. However, such a definition of religion is at odds with the established concept of state toleration. The conflict between rival concepts of religious toleration adds to the problem. The implication of this is that the very question of what is religion' is a political question, one that should be negotiated in each new context. The conclusion looks at how vilification laws fail to adequately address this and looks at the way that the concepts of allegiance and civility offer an alternative.

description: Our search for the earliest stages of massive star formation turned up twelve massive pre-protocluster candidates plus a few protoclusters. For this search, we selected 47 FIR-bright IRAS sources in the outer Galaxy. We mapped regions of several square arcminutes around the IRAS source in the millimeter continuum in order to find massive cold cloud cores possibly being in a very early stage of massive star formation. Masses and densities are derived for the 128 molecular cloud cores found in the obtained maps. We present these maps together with near-infrared, mid-infrared, and radio data collected from the 2MASS, MSX, and NVSS catalogs. Further data from the literature on detections of high-density tracers, outflows, and masers are added. The multi-wavelength datasets are used to characterize each observed region. The massive cloud cores (M>100 M_sun) are placed in a tentative evolutionary sequence depending on their emission at the investigated wavelengths. Candidates for the youngest stages of massive star formation are identified by the lack of detections in the above-mentioned near-infrared, mid-infrared, and radio surveys. Twelve massive cores prominent in the millimeter continuum fulfill this requirement. Since neither FIR nor radio emission have been detected from these cloud cores massive protostars must be very deeply embedded in these cores. Some of these objects may actually Pre-Proto-cluster cores: an up to now rare object class, where the initial conditions of massive star formation can be studied.

description: We examine a recent deformation of three-dimensional anti-deSitter gravity based on noncommutative Chern-Simons theory with gauge group $U(1,1)\times U(1,1)$. In addition to a noncommutative analogue of 3D gravity, the theory contains two addition gauge fields which decouple in the commutative limit. It is well known that the level is quantized in noncommutative Chern-Simons theory. Here it implies that the cosmological constant goes like minus one over an integer-squared. We construct the noncommutative $AdS^3$ vacuum by applying a Seiberg-Witten map from the commutative case. The procedure is repeated for the case of a conical space resulting from a massive spinning particle.

A waste audit and directions for reduction at the University of British Columbia
Creators: name: Felder, Melissa Anne Juanita
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: A solid waste audit is designed to determine the quantity and composition of the waste generated in a specific area. The information provided by an audit can help in evaluating waste management practices; such as the efficiency of recycling programs or the feasibility of composting. The literature revealed that many factors complicate a waste audit; the most significant being that waste varies in space and over time. Methodology was developed to address spatial and temporal variation in waste generated at the University of British Columbia for the 1998 year. This methodology was applied to the campus, and resulting data was analyzed to provide recommendations for achieving campus waste reduction goals. To study spatial variability, the campus was partitioned into sixteen different activity areas. Representative samples of waste were collected a minimum of three times from each activity area. Wherever possible, the number of users of the activity area was enumerated during the sample period. Statistically significant differences were found between the waste-per-user values for the sampled activity areas. Existing data on the number of people frequenting activity areas was employed to estimate total waste loads, as the majority of the activity areas (70%) had smaller variations associated with the calculated waste-per-user data sets than with the original waste data sets. The total waste estimated from the experimental design was compared to documented waste values for the year and was found to vary by -18%. Expected differences were attributed to special events, construction waste, and the omission of some activity areas. Other possibilities included spurious events as found in the sampled waste stream, and the under/overestimation of the amount of users for extrapolation. The University has several options available for waste reduction or diversion targets, including enhancing the current recycling program, source reduction of plastic materials, and diverting organic material to composting. The greatest diversion by weight would be accomplished through the diversion of organic material, as it is estimated to make up a substantial 70% of the calculated annual waste stream.

description: This paper considers the problem of linear time-invariant (LTI) system identification using input/output data. Recent work has provided non-asymptotic results on partially observed LTI system identification using a single trajectory but is only suitable for stable systems. We provide finite-time analysis for learning Markov parameters based on the ordinary least-squares (OLS) estimator using multiple trajectories, which covers both stable and unstable systems. For unstable systems, our results suggest that the Markov parameters are harder to estimate in the presence of process noise. Without process noise, our upper bound on the estimation error is independent of the spectral radius of system dynamics with high probability. These two features are different from fully observed LTI systems for which recent work has shown that unstable systems with a bigger spectral radius are easier to estimate. Extensive numerical experiments demonstrate the performance of our OLS estimator.

description: The computational cost of exact methods for quantum simulation using classical computers grows exponentially with system size. As a consequence, these techniques can only be applied to small systems. By contrast, we demonstrate that quantum computers could exactly simulate chemical reactions in polynomial time. Our algorithm uses the split-operator approach and explicitly simulates all electron-nuclear and inter-electronic interactions in quadratic time. Surprisingly, this treatment is not only more accurate than the Born-Oppenheimer approximation, but faster and more efficient as well, for all reactions with more than about four atoms. This is the case even though the entire electronic wavefunction is propagated on a grid with appropriately short timesteps. Although the preparation and measurement of arbitrary states on a quantum computer is inefficient, here we demonstrate how to prepare states of chemical interest efficiently. We also show how to efficiently obtain chemically relevant observables, such as state-to-state transition probabilities and thermal reaction rates. Quantum computers using these techniques could outperform current classical computers with one hundred qubits.

description: Many young stars reside within the central half-parsec from SgrA*, the supermassive black hole in the Galactic Center. The origin of these stars remains a puzzle. Recently, Hansen and Milosavljevic (2003, HM) have argued that an Intermediate-Mass Black Hole (IMBH) could have delivered the young stars to the immediate vicinity of SgrA*. Here we focus on the final stages of the HM scenario. Namely, we integrate numerically the orbits of stars which are initially bound to the IMBH, but are stripped from it by the tidal field of SgrA*. Our numerical algorithm is a symplectic integrator designed specifically for the problem at hand; however, we have checked our results with SYMBA, a version of the widely available SWIFT code. We find that the distribution of the post-inspiral orbital parameters is sensitive to the eccentricity of the inspiraling IMBH. If the IMBH is on a circular orbit, then the inclinations of numerically computed orbits relative to the inspiral plane are almost always smaller than 10 degrees, and therefore (a) the simulations are in good agreement with the observed motions of stars in a clockwise-moving stellar disc, (b) the simulations never reproduce the orbits of stars outside this disc, which include those in the second thick ring of stars and the randomly oriented unrelaxed orbits of some of the S-stars. If the IMBH's orbital eccentricity is e=0.6, then approximately half of the stars end up with orbital inclinations below 10 degrees, and another half have inclinations anywhere between 0 and 180 degrees; this is somewhat closer to what's observed. We also show that if IRS13 cluster is bound by an IMBH, as has been argued by Maillard et. al. 2004, then the same IMBH could not have delivered all of the young stars to their present location.

On the evolution of a binary system with arbitrarily misaligned orbital and stellar angular momenta due to quasi-stationary tides

description: We consider the evolution of a binary system interacting due to tidal effects without restriction on the orientation of the orbital, and where significant, spin angular momenta, and orbital eccentricity. We work in the low tidal forcing frequency regime in the equilibrium tide approximation. Internal degrees of freedom are fully taken into account for one component, the primary. In the case of the companion the spin angular momentum is assumed small enough to be neglected but internal energy dissipation is allowed for as this can be significant for orbital circularisation in the case of planetary companions. We obtain a set of equations governing the evolution of the orbit resulting from tidal effects. These depend on the masses and radii of the binary components, the form and orientation of the orbit, and for each involved component, the spin rate, the Coriolis force, the normalised rate of energy dissipation associated with the equilibrium tide due to radiative processes and viscosity, and the classical apsidal motion constant. These depend on stellar parameters with no need of additional assumptions or a phenomenological approach as has been invoked in the past. They can be used to determine the evolution of systems with initial significant misalignment of spin and orbital angular momenta as hypothesised for systems containing Hot Jupiters. The inclusion of the Coriolis force may lead to evolution of the inclination between orbital and spin angular momenta and precession of the orbital plane which may have observational consequences.

Benchmarking TD-DFT and Wave Function Methods for Oscillator Strengths and Excited-State Dipole Moments

description: Using a set of oscillator strengths and excited-state dipole moments of near full configuration interaction (FCI) quality determined for small compounds, we benchmark the performances of several single-reference wave function methods (CC2, CCSD, CC3, CCSDT, ADC(2), and ADC(3/2)) and time-dependent density-functional theory (TD-DFT) with various functionals (B3LYP, PBE0, M06-2X, CAM-B3LYP, and $ω$B97X-D). We consider the impact of various gauges (length, velocity, and mixed) and formalisms: equation of motion (EOM) \emph{vs} linear response (LR), relaxed \emph{vs} unrelaxed orbitals, etc. Beyond the expected accuracy improvements and a neat decrease of formalism sensitivy when using higher-order wave function methods, the present contribution shows that, for both ADC(2) and CC2, the choice of gauge impacts more significantly the magnitude of the oscillator strengths than the choice of formalism, and that CCSD yields a notable improvement on this transition property as compared to CC2. For the excited-state dipole moments, switching on orbital relaxation appreciably improves the accuracy of both ADC(2) and CC2, but has a rather small effect at the CCSD level. Going from ground to excited states, the typical errors on dipole moments for a given method tend to roughly triple. Interestingly, the ADC(3/2) oscillator strengths and dipoles are significantly more accurate than their ADC(2) counterparts, whereas the two models do deliver rather similar absolute errors for transition energies. Concerning TD-DFT, one finds: i) a rather negligible impact of the gauge on oscillator strengths for all tested functionals (except for M06-2X); ii) deviations of ca.~0.10 D on ground-state dipoles for all functionals; iii) the better overall performance of CAM-B3LYP for the two considered excited-state properties.

description: The present work provides a mathematically rigorous account on super fiber bundle theory, connection forms and their parallel transport, that ties together various approaches. We begin with a detailed introduction to super fiber bundles. We then introduce the concept of so-called relative supermanifolds as well as bundles and connections defined in these categories. Studying these objects turns out to be of utmost importance in order to, among other things, model anticommuting classical fermionic fields in mathematical physics. We then construct the parallel transport map corresponding to such connections and compare the results with those found by other means in the mathematical literature. Finally, applications of these methods to supergravity will be discussed such as the Cartan geometric formulation of Poincaré supergravity as well as the description of Killing vector fields and Killing spinors of super Riemannian manifolds arising from metric reductive super Cartan geometries.

description: We present the discovery of non-thermal radio and X-ray emission positionally coincident with the TeV $γ$-ray source HESS J1813--178. We demonstrate that the non-thermal radio emission is due to a young shell-type supernova remnant (SNR) G12.8--0.0, and constrain its distance to be greater than 4 kpc. The X-ray emission is primarily non-thermal and is consistent with either an SNR shell or unidentified pulsar/pulsar wind nebula origin; pulsed emission is not detected in archival ASCA data. A simple synchrotron+inverse Compton model for the broadband emission assuming that all of the emission arises from the SNR shell implies maximum energies of $(30-450)(B/10 microG)^{-0.5}$ TeV. Further observations are needed to confirm that the broadband emission has a common origin and better constrain the X-ray spectrum.

description: Recent experimental improvements on K-decay data allow for a precise extraction of the strangeness-changing scalar K pi form factor and the related strange scalar spectral function. On the basis of this scalar as well as the corresponding pseudoscalar spectral function, the strange quark mass is determined to be m_s(2 GeV) = 92 +- 9 MeV. Further taking into account chiral perturbation theory mass ratios, the light up and down quark masses turn out to be m_u(2 GeV) = 2.7 +- 0.4 MeV as well as m_d(2 GeV) = 4.8 +- 0.5 MeV. As a by-product, we also find a value for the Cabibbo angle |V_{us}| = 0.2236(29) and the ratio of meson decay constants F_K/F_π= 1.203(16). Performing a global average of the strange mass by including extractions from other channels as well as lattice QCD results yields m_s(2 GeV) = 94 +- 6 MeV.

description: We theoretically investigate transport in a spin incoherent one dimensional electron system, which may be realized in quantum wires at low electron density and finite temperature. Both the pure and disordered cases are considered, both in finite wires and in the thermodynamic limit. The effect of Fermi liquid leads attached to the finite length system is also addressed. In the infinite system, we find a phase diagram identical to that obtained for a spinless Luttinger Liquid, provided we make the identification $g=2g_c$, where $g$ is the interaction parameter in a spinless Luttinger Liquid and $g_c$ is the interaction parameter of the charge sector of a Luttinger Liquid theory for electrons with spin. For a finite length wire attached to Fermi liquid leads the transport depends on details of the disorder in the wire. A simple picture for the cross-over from the spin incoherent regime to the spin coherent regime as the temperature is varied is also discussed, as well as some physical implications.

description: Improving maternal health is one of the strategies towards universal health coverage entwined in the health systems management service delivery component, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) like Kenya where maternal and neonatal mortality rates remain persistently high.   Obstetric care is the practice of caring for women after conception, throughout pregnancy, and during childbirth. High-risk obstetric clients are more vulnerable to incidences of adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes. Approximately 8 women die every day in Kenya as a result of pregnancy-related complications and this ratio is even higher for high-risk obstetric women due to pre-existing medical conditions, pregnancy-related complications, or a history of difficult deliveries. The main objective of this study is to assess the effects of an education intervention for high risk obstetric clients on the utilization of maternal healthcare services in Nairobi County, Kenya.

description: The FORS Upgrade project (FORS-Up) aims at bringing a new life to the highly demanded workhorse instrument attached to ESO's Very Large Telescope (VLT). FORS2 is a multimode optical instrument, which started regular science operations in 2000 and since then, together with its twin, FORS1, has been one of the most demanded and most productive instruments of the VLT. In order to ensure that a FORS shall remain operational for at least another 15 years, an upgrade has been planned. This is required as FORS2 is using technology and software that is now obsolete and cannot be put and maintained to the standards in use at the Observatory. The project - carried out as a collaboration between ESO and INAF-Astronomical Observatory of Trieste - aims at bringing to the telescope in 2023/2024 a refurbished instrument with a new scientific detector, an upgrade of the instrument control software and electronics, a new calibration unit, as well as additional filters and grisms. The new FORS will also serve as a test bench for the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) standard technologies (among them the use of programmable logic controllers and of the features of the ELT Control Software). The project aims at minimising the downtime of the instrument by performing the upgrade on the currently decommissioned instrument FORS1 and retrofitting the Mask Exchange Unit and polarisation optics from FORS2 to FORS1.

description: Quantum tunneling between two potential wells in a magnetic field can be strongly increased when the potential barrier varies in the direction perpendicular to the line connecting the two wells and remains constant along this line. An oscillatory structure of the wave function is formed in the direction joining the wells. The resulting motion can be coherent like motion in a conventional narrow band periodic structure. A particle penetrates the barrier over a long distance which strongly contrasts to WKB-like tunneling. The whole problem is stationary. A not very small tunneling transparency can be set between two quantum wires with real physical parameters and separated by a long potential barrier. The phenomenon is connected to Euclidean resonance.

description: RWP-RK is a small family of transcription factors (TFs) that are exclusively found in plants. These TFs have a conserved RWP-RK motif which mediates DNA binding. These RWP-RK TFs have been classified in two subfamilies: (i) NLPs (NIN-like proteins), which carry an additional PB1 domain at their C-terminus along with the RWP-RK domain, and (ii) RKDs, which contain only RWP-RK domain. TFs from both these subfamilies are known to play a key role in regulating responses to nitrogen deficiency. In the present study, we carried out a genome-wide survey for genes encoding RWP-RK TFs using wheat genome sequences available at EnsemblPlants and identified 11 members of RWP-RK family. These 11 TFs include 6 NLPs and 5 RKDs. Gene Ontology (GO) term annotations revealed that these TFs play a key role in various biological processes including N metabolism. The proposed 3D structure of these TFs shared high homology with known structures and allowed us to understand their functions at the molecular level. In silico expression profiling of these putative RWP-RK genes in wheat suggested increased expression of three genes (TaNLP2, TaNLP3, and TaNLP4) under N starvation and drought stress. Further studies like VIGS and RNAi will elucidate the functional role of these wheat RWP-RK TFs in controlling cellular and tissue responses to N deficiency and drought stress.

description: Three dimensional computations of self consistent three species gyrofluid turbulence are carried out for tokamak edge conditions. Profiles as well as disturbances in dependent variables are followed, running the dynamical system to transport equilibrium. The third species density shows a significant correlation with that of the electrons, regardless of initial conditions and drive mechanisms. For decaying systems the densities evolve toward each other. Companion tests with a simple two dimensional drift wave model show this persists even if the third species is a passively advected test field. Similarity in the transport character of electrons and the trace species does not imply that the electrons themselves have a test particle transport character.

We investigate the existence of equilibria with $H\equiv -c_o$. When $c_o \ge 0$ we characterize those cases where the infimum of this energy is finite for topological annuli and we find the minimizer in the cases that it exists. Results for topological discs are also given.

description: We construct smooth static bubble solutions, denoted as topological stars, in five-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell theories which are asymptotic to $\mathbb{R}^{1,3}\times$S$^1$. The bubbles are supported by allowing electromagnetic fluxes to wrap smooth topological cycles. The solutions live in the same regime as non-extremal static charged black strings, that reduce to black holes in four dimensions. We generalize to multi-body configurations on a line by constructing closed-form generalized charged Weyl solutions in the same theory. Generic solutions consist of topological stars and black strings stacked on a line, that are wrapped by electromagnetic fluxes. We embed the solutions in type IIB String Theory on S$^1\times$T$^4$. In this framework, the charged Weyl solutions provide a novel class in String Theory of multiple charged objects in the non-supersymmetric and non-extremal black hole regime.

description: Pixel quality (PQ) products delivered with Analysis Ready Data (ARD) provide users with information about the conditions of the surface, atmosphere, and sensor at the time of acquisition. Knowing whether an observation was affected by clouds or sensor saturation is crucial when selecting data to include in automated analysis, as imperfect or erroneous observations are undesirable for most applications. There is, however, a certain rate of commission error in cloud detection, and saturation may not affect all spectral bands at a time, which can lead to suitable observations being excluded. This can have a substantial impact on the amount of data available for analysis. To understand how different surface types can affect cloud commission and saturation, we analyzed cloud and per-band saturation PQ flags for 31 years of Landsat data within Digital Earth Australia. Areas showing substantial reduction in observation density compared to their surroundings were investigated to characterize how specific surface types impact on the temporal density of observations deemed desirable. Using Fmask 3.2 by way of example, our approach demonstrates a method that can be applied to summarize the characteristics of cloud-screening algorithms and sensor saturation. Results indicate that cloud commission and sensor saturation rates show specific characteristics depending on the targets under observation. This potentially leads to an imbalance in data availability driven by surface type in a given study area. Based on our findings, the level of detail in PQ flags delivered with ARD is pivotal in maximizing the potential of EO data.

description: We present a determination of the charm quark mass in lattice QCD with three active quark flavours. The calculation is based on PCAC masses extracted from $N_\mathrm{f}=2+1$ flavour gauge field ensembles at five different lattice spacings in a range from 0.087 fm down to 0.039 fm. The lattice action consists of the $\mathrm{O}(a)$ improved Wilson-clover action and a tree-level improved Symanzik gauge action. Quark masses are non-perturbatively $\mathrm{O}(a)$ improved employing the Symanzik-counterterms available for this discretisation of QCD. To relate the bare mass at a specified low-energy scale with the renormalisation group invariant mass in the continuum limit, we use the non-pertubatively known factors that account for the running of the quark masses as well as for their renormalisation at hadronic scales. We obtain the renormalisation group invariant charm quark mass at the physical point of the three-flavour theory to be $M_\mathrm{c} = 1486(21)\,\mathrm{MeV}$. Combining this result with five-loop perturbation theory and the corresponding decoupling relations in the $\overline{\mathrm{MS}}$ scheme, one arrives at a result for the renormalisation group invariant charm quark mass in the four-flavour theory of $M_\mathrm{c}(N_\mathrm{f}=4) = 1548(23)\,\mathrm{MeV}$. In the $\overline{\mathrm{MS}}$ scheme, and at finite energy scales conventional in phenomenology, we quote $m^{\overline{\mathrm{MS}}}_{\mathrm{c}}(m^{\overline{\mathrm{MS}}}_{\mathrm{c}}; N_\mathrm{f}=4)=1296(19)\,\mathrm{MeV}$ and $m^{\overline{\mathrm{MS}}}_{\mathrm{c}}(3\,\mathrm{GeV}; N_\mathrm{f}=4)=1007(16)\,\mathrm{MeV}$ for the renormalised charm quark mass

description: High resolution SQUID magnetization measurements in lead nanoparticles are used to study the fluctuating diamagnetism in zero-dimensional condition, namely for particle size d lesser than the coherence length. The diamagnetic magnetization Mdia (H, T= const) as a function of the field H at constant temperature is reported in the critical region and compared with the behaviour in the temperature range where the first-order fluctuation correction is expected to hold. The magnetization curves are analysed in the framework of exact fluctuation theories based on the Ginzburg-Landau functional for the coherence length much greater than d. The role of the upturn field Hup where Mdia reverses the field dependence is discussed and its relevance for the study of the fluctuating diamagnetism, particularly in the critical region where the first-order fluctuation correction breaks down, is pointed out. The size and temperature dependence of Hup is theoretically derived and compared to the experimental data. The relevance and the magnetization curves for non-evanescent field and of the upturn field for the study of the fluctuating diamagnetism above the superconducting transition temperature is emphasized.

description: Frustrated rare-earth pyrochlore titanates, Yb$_2$Ti$_2$O$_7$, and Tb$_2$Ti$_2$O$_7$ have been proposed as promising candidates to realize quantum spin ice (QSI). Multiple exotic quantum phases, including Coulombic ferromagnet, quantum valence-bond solid, and quadrupolar ordering, have been predicted to emerge in the QSI state upon application of a (111)-oriented external magnetic field. Here, we report on the primal successful layer-by-layer growth of ultra-thin films of frustrated quantum pyrochlores, R$_2$Ti$_2$O$_7$ (R = Er, Yb, and Tb), along the (111) direction. We confirm their high crystallinity and proper chemical composition by a combination of methods, including in-situ RHEED, x-ray diffraction, reciprocal space mapping, and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The availability of large area (111)-oriented QSI structures with planar geometry offers a new complementary to the bulk platform to explore strain and magnetic field dependent properties in the quasi-2D limit.

description: Paradoxe Mengen treten in vielen Bereichen der Mathematik auf. Diese Mengen werden unter Verwendung des Auswahlaxioms konstruiert und weisen kontraintuitive Eigenschaften auf, wie beispielsweise die Vitali-Menge oder das Banach-Tarski-Paradoxon. Die zentrale Frage dieser Arbeit ist, ob bestimmte Fragmente des Auswahlaxioms aus der Existenz spezifischer paradoxer Mengen abgeleitet werden können. Wir liefern mehrere negative Antworten auf diese Frage. Insbesondere zeigen wir, dass es Modelle der ZFC-Mengenlehre ohne eine Wohlordnung der reellen Zahlen gibt, die dennoch eine Zerlegung des dreidimensionalen euklidischen Raums in Einheitskreise enthalten. Darüber hinaus entwickeln wir einen allgemeinen Rahmen für die Konstruktion ähnlicher Modelle für andere paradoxe Mengen unter bestimmten Bedingungen der Erweiterbarkeit und Amalgamierung. Zudem präsentieren wir einige Ergebnisse zum Transzendenzgrad der reellen Zahlen über bestimmten mengentheoretischen Teilkörpern.
description: Paradoxical sets appear in many areas of mathematics. These are sets that are constructed using the Axiom of Choice and exhibit counterintuitive properties, examples include the Vitali set and the Banach-Tarski paradox. The central question of this thesis is whether certain fragments of the Axiom of Choice can be recovered from the existence of specific paradoxical sets. We provide several negative answers to this question. In particular, we show that there exist models of ZFC without a well-ordering of the reals that still contain a partition of three-dimensional Euclidean space into unit circles. Furthermore, we develop a general framework for constructing similar models for other paradoxical sets, under certain conditions of extendability and amalgamation. We also include some results on the transcendence degree of the reals over certain set theoretical subfields.

The impact of astrophysical dust grains on the confinement of cosmic rays

description: We argue that charged dust grains could significantly impact the confinement and transport of galactic cosmic rays. For sub-GeV to ~1000GeV cosmic rays, small-scale parallel Alfvén waves, which isotropize cosmic rays through gyro-resonant interactions, are also gyro-resonant with charged grains. If the dust is nearly stationary, as in the bulk of the interstellar medium, Alfvén waves are damped by dust. This will reduce the amplitude of Alfvén waves produced by the cosmic rays through the streaming instability, thus enhancing cosmic-ray transport. In well-ionized regions, the dust damping rate is larger by a factor of ~10 than other mechanisms that damp parallel Alfvén waves at the scales relevant for ~GeV cosmic rays, suggesting that dust could play a key role in regulating cosmic-ray transport. In astrophysical situations in which the dust moves through the gas with super-Alfvénic velocities, Alfvén waves are rendered unstable, which could directly scatter cosmic rays. This interaction has the potential to create a strong feedback mechanism where dust, driven through the gas by radiation pressure, then strongly enhances the confinement of cosmic rays, increasing their capacity to drive outflows. This mechanism may act in the circumgalactic medium around star-forming galaxies and active galactic nuclei.
Particle-In-Cell Simulations of a Nonlinear Transverse Electromagnetic Wave in a Pulsar Wind Termination Shock

description: A 2.5-dimensional particle-in-cell code is used to investigate the propagation of a large-amplitude, superluminal, nearly transverse electromagnetic (TEM) wave in a relativistically streaming electron-positron plasma with and without a shock. In the freestreaming, unshocked case, the analytic TEM dispersion relation is verified, and the streaming is shown to stabilize the wave against parametric instabilities. In the confined, shocked case, the wave induces strong, coherent particle oscillations, heats the plasma, and modifies the shock density profile via ponderomotive effects. The wave decays over $\gtrsim 10^2$ skin depths; the decay length scale depends primarily on the ratio between the wave frequency and the effective plasma frequency, and on the wave amplitude. The results are applied to the termination shock of the Crab pulsar wind, where the decay length-scale (at least 0.05") might be comparable to the thickness of filamentary, variable substructure observed in the optical and X-ray wisps and knots.
