Entanglement entropy on a fuzzy sphere : matrix quantum mechanics simulations using deep learning
Creators: name: Andrzejewski, Tomasz
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: The Ryu-Takayanagi formula, discovered in the context of the AdS/CFT correspondence, revealed that entanglement entropy encodes the information about geometry. In order to learn about non-locality structure of QFTs on fuzzy spaces we calculate entanglement entropy and mutual information for a massive free scalar field on a noncommutative (fuzzy) sphere, using standard methods for finding entropy of coupled harmonic oscillators. When computing these quantities we use two different methods of factorizing quantum mechanical Hilbert spaces, i.e. two different constructions of projection matrices. We find that our results are largely dependent on which projection matrix we used. We further use machine learning techniques to find variational wavefunction for scalar field theory with a quartic interaction on a fuzzy sphere. The theory is realized by a matrix model, where the matrix size plays the role of an ultraviolet cutoff. We use variational quantum Monte Carlo with deep generative flows to search for ground state energy of this matrix model. We find that, depending on the projection matrix used, entropy stays the same or behaves differently as we vary the parameter of quartic interaction.

description: We present a combined x-ray and neutron reflectivity study characterizing the interface between polystyrene (PS) and silanized surfaces. Motivated by the large difference in slip velocity of PS on top of dodecyl-trichlorosilane (DTS) and octadecyl-trichlorosilane (OTS) found in previous studies, these two systems were chosen for the present investigation. The results reveal the molecular conformation of PS on silanized silicon. Differences in the molecular tilt of OTS and DTS are replicated by the adjacent phenyl rings of the PS. We discuss our findings in terms of a potential link between the microscopic interfacial structure and dynamic properties of polymeric liquids at interfaces.

description: We use SPH simulations with an approximate radiative cooling prescription to model evolution of a massive and large ($\sim 100$ AU) very young protoplanetary disc. We also model dust growth and gas-grain dynamics with a second fluid approach. It is found that the disc fragments onto a large number of $\sim 10$ Jupiter mass clumps that cool and contract slowly. Some of the clumps evolve onto eccentric orbits delivering them into the inner tens of AU, where they are disrupted by tidal forces from the star. Dust grows and sediments inside the clumps, displaying a very strong segregation, with the largest particles forming dense cores in the centres. The density of the dust cores may exceed that of the gas and is limited only by the numerical constraints, indicating that these cores should collapse into rocky planetary cores. One particular giant planet embryo migrates inward close enough to be disrupted at about 10 AU, leaving a self-bound solid core of about 7.5 $\mearth$ mass on a low eccentricity orbit at a radius of $\sim$ 8 AU. These simulations support the recent suggestions that terrestrial and giant planets may be the remnants of tidally disrupted giant planet embryos.

description: The cluster mass function traces the growth of linear density perturbations and provides valuable insights into the growth of structures, the nature of dark matter, and the cosmological parameters governing the Universe. The primary science goal of eROSITA, on board the {\it Spectrum Roentgen Gamma (SRG)} mission, launched in 2019, is to constrain cosmology through the evolution of cluster mass function. In this paper, we present the cosmological constraints obtained from 5259 clusters of galaxies detected over an area of 12791~deg$^2$ in the Western Galactic Hemisphere of the eROSITA's first All-Sky Survey (eRASS1). The common footprint region between the eROSITA Survey and DES, KiDS, and HSC surveys is used for calibration of the scaling between X-ray count rate and their total mass through measurements of their weak gravitational lensing signal. eRASS1 cluster abundances constrain the $Λ$CDM parameters, which are the energy density of the total matter to $Ω_{\mathrm{m}}=0.29^{+0.01}_{-0.02}$, and the normalization of the density fluctuations to $σ_8=0.88\pm0.02$ and their combination yields $S_8=σ_8 (Ω_\mathrm{m} / 0.3)^{0.5}=0.86\pm0.01$, consistent and at a similar precision with the state-of-the-art CMB measurements. eRASS1 cosmological experiment places a most stringent upper limit on the summed masses of left-handed light neutrinos to $\sum m_ν< 0.22\mathrm{~eV}$ (95\% confidence interval). Combining eRASS1 cluster abundance measurements with CMB and ground-based neutrino oscillation experiments, we measure the summed neutrino masses to be $\sum m_ν=0.08_{-0.02}^{+0.03}\mathrm{~eV}$ or $\sum m_ν=0.12_{-0.01}^{+0.03}\mathrm{~eV}$ depending on the mass hierarchy scenario for neutrino eigenstates. eRASS1 cluster abundances significantly improve the constraints on the dark energy equation of state parameter to $w=-1.12\pm0.12$.

description: This paper concerns the set $\hat{\mathcal{M}}$ of pseudo-Anosovs which occur as monodromies of fibrations on manifolds obtained from the magic 3-manifold $N$ by Dehn filling three cusps with a mild restriction. We prove that for each $g$ (resp. $g \not\equiv 0 \pmod{6}$), the minimum among dilatations of elements (resp. elements with orientable invariant foliations) of $\hat{\mathcal{M}}$ defined on a closed surface $\varSigma_g$ of genus $g$ is achieved by the monodromy of some $\varSigma_g$-bundle over the circle obtained from $N(\tfrac{3}{-2})$ or $N(\tfrac{1}{-2})$ by Dehn filling two cusps. These minimizers are the same ones identified by Hironaka, Aaber-Dunfiled, Kin-Takasawa independently. In the case $g \equiv 6 \pmod{12}$ we find a new family of pseudo-Anosovs defined on $\varSigma_g$ with orientable invariant foliations obtained from N(-6) or N(4) by Dehn filling two cusps. We prove that if $δ_g^+$ is the minimal dilatation of pseudo-Anosovs with orientable invariant foliations defined on $\varSigma_g$, then $$ \limsup_{\substack{g \equiv 6 \pmod{12} g \to \infty}} g \log δ^+_g \le 2 \log δ(D_5) \approx 1.0870,$$ where $δ(D_n)$ is the minimal dilatation of pseudo-Anosovs on an $n$-punctured disk. We also study monodromies of fibrations on N(1). We prove that if $δ_{1,n}$ is the minimal dilatation of pseudo-Anosovs on a genus 1 surface with $n$ punctures, then $$ \limsup_{n \to \infty} n \log δ_{1,n} \le 2 \log δ(D_4) \approx 1.6628. $$

description: We study Linial-Meshulam random 2-complexes, which are two-dimensional analogues of Erdős-Rényi random graphs. We find the threshold for simple connectivity to be p = n^{-1/2}. This is in contrast to the threshold for vanishing of the first homology group, which was shown earlier by Linial and Meshulam to be p = 2 log(n)/n. We use a variant of Gromov's local-to-global theorem for linear isoperimetric inequalities to show that when p = O(n^{-1/2 -ε}) the fundamental group is word hyperbolic. Along the way we classify the homotopy types of sparse 2-dimensional simplicial complexes and establish isoperimetric inequalities for such complexes.

description: In a process of becoming an a/r/tographer through my life stories and breadmaking, I make, re- make, write, and re-write. Being in-between materials such as ingredients for bread making, my body and memories, I contemplate what knowledge making means through seeing, seen, and unseen. Inspired by the works of Tim Ingold and Maxine Greene, I explore the concept of offering/giving/gifting as well as exchanging while reviewing the theoretical perspectives of making with materials and aesthetic education. When seeing things in mundane life from a different position, I desire to know things around me as otherwise. Such a knowing occurs with other entities including non-human kinds, which allow me to make deeper connections between my lived experience and current conditions to create different kinds of knowledge.

description: Strongly interacting non-equilibrium systems are of great fundamental interest, yet their inherent complexity make then notoriously hard to analyze. We demonstrate that the dynamics of the Bose-Hubbard model, which by itself evades solvability, can be solved exactly at any interaction strength in the presence of loss tuned to a rate matching the hopping amplitude. Remarkably, the full solvability of the corresponding Liouvillian, and the integrability of the pertinent effective non-Hermitian Hamiltonian, survives the addition of disorder and generic boundary conditions. By analyzing the Bethe ansatz solutions we find that even weak interactions change the qualitative features of the system, leading to an intricate dynamical phase diagram featuring non-Hermitian Mott-skin effects, disorder induced localization, highly degenerate exceptional points, and a Bose glass-like phase of fragmented condensates. We discuss realistic implementations of this model with cold atoms.

description: Observed high-redshift QSOs, at z~6, may reside in massive dark matter (DM) halos of more than 10^{12} Msun and are thus expected to be surrounded by overdense regions. In a series of 10 constrained simulations, we have tested the environment of such QSOs. Comparing the computed overdensities with respect to the unconstrained simulations of regions empty of QSOs, assuming there is no bias between the DM and baryon distributions, and invoking an observationally-constrained duty-cycle for Lyman Break Galaxies, we have obtained the galaxy count number for the QSO environment. We find that a clear discrepancy exists between the computed and observed galaxy counts in the Kim et al. (2009) samples. Our simulations predict that on average eight z~6 galaxies per QSO field should have been observed, while Kim et al. detect on average four galaxies per QSO field compared to an average of three galaxies in a control sample (GOODS fields). While we cannot rule out a small number statistics for the observed fields to high confidence, the discrepancy suggests that galaxy formation in the QSO neighborhood proceeds differently than in the field. We also find that QSO halos are the most massive of the simulated volume at z~6 but this is no longer true at z~3. This implies that QSO halos, even in the case they are the most massive ones at high redshifts, do not evolve into most massive galaxy clusters at z=0.

We take into account energy losses in the cosmic microwave radiation, the only one relevant for protons above $10^{18}$ eV, and we explore the dependence of Greisen-Zatsepin-Kuz'min (GZK) horizon on the cosmology. We investigate several cosmological scenarios, from matter dominated to energy dominated ones, and we consider the impact of uncertainties in the Hubble parameter in a $Λ-$Cold Dark Matter (CDM) Universe, estimated from recent observations, on the GZK horizon. The impact of the (unknown) extragalactic magnetic field on our study is discussed, as well as possible probes of the Hubble parameter attainable by current and future experiments.

description: Abstract (IT) La finalità del trasferimento tecnologico è quella che i prodotti della ricerca scientifica diventino fruibili e industrializzabili attraverso la collaborazione con partner industriali, soggetti esterni interessati ed investitori. Affinché la valorizzazione passi per la creazione di una attività imprenditoriale la fase dello “sviluppo del concetto” è fondamentale. Lo strumento maggiormente utilizzato per capire tali potenzialità è il business plan ma ha il limite dell’elevato grado di complessità e un’approfondita conoscenza di strumenti economici, finanziari e di marketing. Per evitare di perdere risorse ed energie prima di avere una visione completa della propria idea imprenditoriale, si possono utilizzare alcuni strumenti intuitivi e semplici per definire la propria idea di business e facilitare la compilazione del business plan, come ad esempio il Business Model Canvas. Questo metodo pratico e veloce permette di produrre e validare in poco tempo molteplici modelli di business e obbliga a focalizzare l’attenzione sui punti salienti della vision. Abstract (EN) The purpose of the technology transfer is that the products of scientific research become usable and industrializable through collaboration with industrial partners, external interested parties and investors. For the enhancement of an entrepreneurial activity, the “concept development” phase is fundamental. The most widely used tool to understand this potential is the business plan but it has the limit of a high degree of complexity and an in-depth knowledge of economic, financial and marketing tools. To avoid wasting resources and energy before having a complete vision of your business idea, you can use some intuitive and simple tools to define your business idea and facilitate the compilation of the business plan, such as the Business Model Canvas. This practical and fast method allows you to produce and validate multiple business models in a short time and forces you to focus attention on the salient points of the vision.
Microstructural and surface characterization and custom tribometer development for tribological analysis of plasma-based PTWA and EJPO coatings for engine block application

description: Next-generation internal combustion engines demand new materials to meet efficiency mandates regarding energy conservation and emission reduction. Replacing heavy ferrous metals with lightweight aluminum (Al) alloys considerably reduces the engine weight, improving its efficiency. However, most Al alloys suffer from poor tribological characteristics, the deriving factor for emerging technologies protecting Al components. In automotive engine blocks, a traditional method is to embed cast-iron liners within the cylinder bores to protect them from combustion harsh condition. However, this method poses challenges like generation of residual stress during casting which demands costly heat treatment processes. Linerless engine blocks equipped with advanced thin coatings have attracted original equipment manufacturers for a few decades. These coatings offer advantages such as light weighing and the flexibility in using optimized material for specific application. Among them is the plasma transferred wire arc (PTWA) coating mass produced in Ford Mustang GT500 engines. Despite its relatively high tribological properties, the coating’s mechanical bonding to the substrate is a concern in terms of durability and engine lifetime. Recently, a cost-effective and environmentally friendly coating technology called Electrolytic Jet Plasma Oxidation (EJPO) has been under development with the ability to produce strong chemical bonding to the Al substrate. This study aims at characterizing the new EJPO and existing PTWA coatings applied to two V8 engine blocks, from microstructural and surface topography aspects. The results distinguished each coating’s characteristic to resist scuffing in engine’s oil starving condition. While the PTWA coating showed the evidence of anti-friction solid lubricant phase (FeO) in its microstructure, EJPO one was featured by its superior surface topography. The comparison of the coatings’ bearing area curves revealed higher valley depth (4.5 times) and core roughness (1.9 times) for the EJPO coating compared to the PTWA one. Further, the EJPO coating oil retention capability is estimated to be 9 times higher than its counterpart. In the next study phase, a custom- tribometer was designed and manufactured for the future tribology study at UBC_HPPM lab. The machine was successfully run at a wide range of velocity, up to 1800 RPM, and normal load (up to 450N) with negligible vibration.

description: At the 2023 Les Houches Summer School on Theoretical Biological Physics, several students asked for some background on information theory, and so we added a tutorial to the scheduled lectures. This is largely a transcript of that tutorial, lightly edited. It covers basic definitions and context rather than detailed calculations. We hope to have maintained the informality of the presentation, including exchanges with the students, while still being useful.

description: During spermiogenesis, sperm chromatin undergoes a series of modifications in which histones are lost and replaced with transition nuclear proteins (TNP) and subsequently with protamine. Histones are important for DNA replication but in spermiogenesis histones replacement with protamine prevents DNA replication and causes sperm maturation. Any problem in this replacement may cause male infertility. Few molecular epidemiological studies have been conducted to examine the association between TNP2 polymorphism and male infertility in diverse populations. These studies to date have analyzed the above polymorphisms in small sample sizes, leading to an underestimation of the association. There is no meta-analysis exploring the exact association between the TNP SNPs and male infertility reported so far.

description: Let F_k be the free group on k generators. A word w \in F_k is called primitive if it belongs to some basis of F_k. We investigate two criteria for primitivity, and consider more generally, subgroups of F_k which are free factors. The first criterion is graph-theoretic and uses Stallings core graphs: given subgroups of finite rank H \le J \le F_k we present a simple procedure to determine whether H is a free factor of J. This yields, in particular, a procedure to determine whether a given element in F_k is primitive. Again let w \in F_k and consider the word map w:G x G x ... x G \to G (from the direct product of k copies of G to G), where G is an arbitrary finite group. We call w measure preserving if given uniform measure on G x G x ... x G, w induces uniform measure on G (for every finite G). This is the second criterion we investigate: it is not hard to see that primitivity implies measure preservation and it was conjectured that the two properties are equivalent. Our combinatorial approach to primitivity allows us to make progress on this problem and in particular prove the conjecture for k=2. It was asked whether the primitive elements of F_k form a closed set in the profinite topology of free groups. Our results provide a positive answer for F_2.

The fundamental plane of black hole activity for low-luminosity radio active galactic nuclei across 1 < z < 4

description: The fundamental plane of black hole activity (BHFP) describes the correlation between radio luminosity ($L_R$), X-ray luminosity ($L_X$), and black hole mass. It reflects a disc-jet connection. However, dependence of BHFP on various physical properties of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and host galaxies is unclear, especially for low-luminosity AGNs, which is important for understanding accretion physics in AGNs. Here we explore the dependence of BHFP on radio loudness, Eddington ratio ($λ_E$), redshift, and galaxy star formation properties at 0.1 < z < 4 for radio AGNs. Based on current deep and large surveys, our studies extend to low luminosities and high redshifts. From GOODS and COSMOS fields, we constructed a homogeneous radio AGN sample including 208 objects. We divided the radio AGN sample into 141 radio-quiet (RQ) AGNs and 67 radio-loud (RL) AGNs according to the radio loudness defined by the $L_R$-to-$L_X$ ratio. This ratio shows a bimodal distribution that is well described by two Gaussian models. Their cross point corresponds to a radio loudness threshold of $\log (L_R/L_X) = -2.73$. RQ and RL AGNs show different BHFPs, indicating a dependence of BHFP on the radio loudness. For both RQ and RL AGNs, BHFP shows a dependence on $λ_E$, but no dependence on redshift. BHFP shows a dependence on the galaxy star formation properties for RQ AGNs, while for RL AGNs this dependence disappears. BHFP sheds important light on the accretion physics and X-ray emission origins. X-ray emission of RQ AGNs originates from a combination of advection-dominated accretion flow (ADAF) and synchrotron radiation from jet at $0.01 < λ_E < 0.1$, and from jet at $0.1 < λ_E < 1$. X-ray emission in RL AGNs originates from a combination of ADAF and jet at $λ_E < 0.01$, from jet at $0.01 < λ_E < 0.1$, and from a combination of standard thin disc and jet at $λ_E > 0.1$.

High throughput screen for improved recombinant laccase production in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Creators: name: Strawn, Garrett
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is an attractive host for the recombinant production of proteins. Despite widespread, the typically low protein yield is a severe disadvantage compared to other host systems. To address this limitation, the objective of this research is to identify gene deletions that influence recombinant protein production in S. cerevisiae. Specifically, we have used an industrially relevant fungal laccase enzyme, Lcc1, isolated from Trametes trogii as our model recombinant protein. We utilized synthetic genetic array (SGA) methodology to produce a library of 4,790 laccase expressing gene deletion strains and a novel soft agarose overlay assay to assess quantities of active secreted laccase. We identified 66 gene deletions that resulted in increased secreted laccase. Gene ontology (GO) analysis revealed an enrichment for processes such as vacuolar targeting, proteolysis, autophagy, and vesicle trafficking. Further validation of the levels of secreted laccase from the identified mutant strains was done in liquid cultures resulting in a set of 17 gene deletions with significantly increased secreted laccase activity from that of a reference strain. Notably, deletions of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane localized flippase, ARV1, a component of the SKI complex, SKI3, and PMT2, an ER membrane protein-O-mannosyltransferase all resulted in an over 4-fold increase in secreted laccase activity. Through complementation experiments and independent gene deletions, we were able to verify the role of six gene deletions in increasing secreted laccase activity. We have also identified a set of 207 gene deletions which decrease secreted laccase activity that could serve as potential targets for overexpression. When assessed in liquid cultures, deletion of the ER co-chaperone SCJ1, resulted in almost no secreted laccase activity. However, upon overexpression of the co-chaperone, secreted laccase activity was also decreased compared to that of a reference strain suggesting the basal expression level is optimal to produce the recombinant laccase. Our results firstly demonstrate the application of high throughput screening techniques for investigating effects on recombinant protein production. Additionally, we have identified a set of gene deletions with uninvestigated roles in recombinant laccase production thus elaborating upon previously identified bottlenecks limiting recombinant protein production in S. cerevisiae.
A measurement of cluster masses using Planck and SPT-SZ CMB lensing

description: We used an unbiased CMB lensing mass estimator on 468 SPT-SZ clusters from the SPT-SZ and the Planck public data, the first such estimation using combined ground- and space-based data. We measured the average ratio between CMB lensing and SZ mass to be $M_{\rm CMBlens}/M_{\rm SZ} = 0.98 \pm 0.19$ (stat.) $\pm 0.03$ (syst.). The average CMB lensing mass from the combination of the two data sets is measured at 4.8$σ$, which is a significant gain with respect to the measurement performed on the SPT-SZ only (3.9$σ$) or the Planck only (3.7$σ$) data set. We showed that the combination not only takes advantage of the two different ranges of spatial scales (i.e. Fourier modes) observed but also exploits the lensing induced correlation between scales observed by one experiment and the other. This result demonstrates the importance of measuring a large range of spatial scales for CMB lensing mass estimation, from arcmin to degrees. This large range of scales will most probably be provided by the combination of various data sets, such as from the large and small aperture telescopes of the upcoming Simons Observatory and future CMB-S4 experiment, and Planck. In this context, the Planck data will remain a key element for CMB lensing cluster studies in the years to come.

description: We study brick wall quantum circuits enjoying a global fermionic symmetry. The constituent 2-qubit gate, and its fermionic symmetry, derive from a 2-particle scattering matrix in integrable, supersymmetric quantum field theory in 1+1 dimensions. Our 2-qubit gate, as a function of three free parameters, is of so-called free fermionic or matchgate form, allowing us to derive the spectral structure of both the brick wall unitary $U_F$ and its, non-trivial, hamiltonian limit $H_γ$ in closed form. We find that the fermionic symmetry pins $H_γ$ to a surface of critical points, whereas breaking that symmetry leads to non-trivial topological phases. We briefly explore quench dynamics for this class of circuits.
