description: We investigate the consequences of elliptic leading singularities for the unitarity-based representations of two-loop amplitudes in planar, maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. We show that diagonalizing with respect to these leading singularities ensures that the integrand basis is term-wise pure (suitably generalized, to the elliptic multiple polylogarithms, as necessary). We also investigate an alternative strategy based on diagonalizing a basis of integrands on differential forms; this strategy, while neither term-wise Yangian-invariant nor pure, offers several advantages in terms of complexity.

description: Dear Readers, It is my pleasure to present you Issue 7 of Consilience, which our team has been diligently compiling and editing through the Fall of 2011. The wide range of topics and perspectives that this issue brings to the table, now more than expected of a Consilience publication, stretch from microfinance credit-scoring models in West Africa to the viability of hydropower in the Mekong basin to algal blooms in Guatemala. We have endeavoured to form more and deeper connections with academic institutions and networks around the world dealing with sustainable development issues. For example, Liana Ricci, from the Sapienza University of Rome, writes a thought-provoking article on peri-urban development in Tanzania, the submission a result of the collaboration between Consilience and the International PhD Workshop in Sustainable Development, hosted at Columbia University. Critically, Liana’s article points to the fact that more than ever we need to be concerned with institutional capacity building in developing countries. Aspects of this challenge are explored by several of our authors, including Esohe Odaro in her piece on service delivery in Sub-Saharan Africa. Yet it is important to note that sustainable development is not just a concept to be applied to developing countries by those in developed countries, but should be used to critically analyze the current situation and trajectory of the developed world as well. To this aim I am pleased to recommend Frank Hemmes et al’s scholarly article regarding energy use monitoring in the Netherlands, as well as Julia and Robert Fredenburg’s incredibly evocative photo essay regarding river deltas in California. As always, I encourage you to contact me at vs2299@columbia.edu orcontact@consiliencejournal.org with any comments or queries, and I encourage you to continue engaging with us. Enjoy the issue!

description: Integrating robots in complex everyday environments requires a multitude of problems to be solved. One crucial feature among those is to equip robots with a mechanism for teaching them a new task in an easy and natural way. When teaching tasks that involve sequences of different skills, with varying order and number of these skills, it is desirable to only demonstrate full task executions instead of all individual skills. For this purpose, we propose a novel approach that simultaneously learns to segment trajectories into reoccurring patterns and the skills to reconstruct these patterns from unlabelled demonstrations without further supervision. Moreover, the approach learns a skill conditioning that can be used to understand possible sequences of skills, a practical mechanism to be used in, for example, human-robot-interactions for a more intelligent and adaptive robot behaviour. The Bayesian and variational inference based approach is evaluated on synthetic and real human demonstrations with varying complexities and dimensionality, showing the successful learning of segmentations and skill libraries from unlabelled data.

description: Massive arbitrary spin totally symmetric free fermionic fields propagating in d-dimensional (Anti)-de Sitter space-time are investigated. Gauge invariant action and the corresponding gauge transformations for such fields are proposed. The results are formulated in terms of various mass parameters used in the literature as well as the lowest eigenvalues of the energy operator. We apply our results to a study of partial masslessness of fermionic fields in (A)dS(d), and in the case of d=4 confirm the conjecture made in the earlier literature.

Chiral Anomaly in SU(2)${}_R$-Axion Inflation and the New Prediction for Particle Cosmology

description: Upon embedding the axion-inflation in the minimal left-right symmetric gauge extension of the SM with gauge group $SU(2)_L\times SU(2)_R \times U(1)_{B-L}$, [arXiv:2012.11516] proposed a new particle physics model for inflation. In this work, we present a more detailed analysis. As a compelling consequence, this setup provides a new mechanism for simultaneous baryogenesis and right-handed neutrino creation by the chiral anomaly of $W_R$ in inflation. The lightest right-handed neutrino is the dark matter candidate. This setup has two unknown fundamental scales, i.e., the scale of inflation and left-right symmetry breaking $SU(2)_R\times U(1)_{B-L}\rightarrow U(1)_{Y}$. Sufficient matter creation demands the left-right symmetry breaking scale happens shortly after the end of inflation. Interestingly, it prefers left-right symmetry breaking scales above $10^{10}~GeV$, which is in the range suggested by the non-supersymmetric SO(10) Grand Unified Theory with an intermediate left-right symmetry scale. Although $W_R$ gauge field generates equal amounts of right-handed baryons and leptons in inflation, i.e. $B-L=0$, in the Standard Model sub-sector $B-L_{SM}\neq 0$. A key aspect of this setup is that $SU(2)_R$ sphalerons are never in equilibrium, and the primordial $B-L_{SM}$ is conserved by the Standard Model interactions. This setup yields a deep connection between CP violation in physics of inflation and matter creation (visible and dark); hence it can naturally explain the observed coincidences among cosmological parameters, i.e., $η_{B}\simeq 0.3 P_ζ$ and $Ω_{DM}\simeq 5Ω_{B}$. The $SU(2)_R$-axion inflation comes with a cosmological smoking gun; chiral, non-Gaussian, and blue-tilted gravitational wave background, which can be probed by future CMB missions and laser interferometer detectors.

From Colonial Port to Post-Revolution: Urban Planning for 21st Century Havana – Photo Essay
Creators: name: Currie, Laura Peñaranda
Publisher: name: Consilience
Year: 2020

description: Coffee table books are filled with them: the clichés of Havana as “frozen in time”, scented with “nostalgia for a bygone era”. At first sight, the city’s unique combination of urban design and architectural styles suggest a tension between the island’s various historical and political periods. At second glance, the tension lessens into what is a mostly complimentary relationship between patterns, designs, and vision. That is, a city made rich by its combination of continuous innovation and historic preservation. The result is an avant-garde, mostly European (compact, pedestrian, grid-based), urban planning agenda with many assets and challenges to its name. This photo essay aims to: examine how Havana’s colonial history created the city’s basic modern grid street pattern, compact block structure; identify what elements make Havana’s urban character different from that of other major Latin American cities; observe current projects as outlined by the New Master Plan; and, finally identify challenges ahead. By covering these points, the essay sets out to challenge the “frozen in time” perception of Havana by replacing it with one of a unique and historically rich city on the brink of major changes.

An Implicit Finite Volume Scheme to Solve the Time Dependent Radiation Transport Equation Based on Discrete Ordinates
Creators: name: Jiang, Yan-Fei
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Instrumentation and Methods for Astrophysics (astro-ph.IM)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We describe a new algorithm to solve the time dependent, frequency integrated radiation transport (RT) equation implicitly, which is coupled to an explicit solver for equations of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) using {\sf Athena++}. The radiation filed is represented by specific intensities along discrete rays, which are evolved using a conservative finite volume approach for both cartesian and curvilinear coordinate systems. All the terms for spatial transport of photons and interactions between gas and radiation are calculated implicitly together. An efficient Jacobi-like iteration scheme is used to solve the implicit equations. This removes any time step constrain due to the speed of light in RT. We evolve the specific intensities in the lab frame to simplify the transport step. The lab-frame specific intensities are transformed to the co-moving frame via Lorentz transformation when the source term is calculated. Therefore, the scheme does not need any expansion in terms of $v/c$. The radiation energy and momentum source terms for the gas are calculated via direct quadrature in the angular space. The time step for the whole scheme is determined by the normal Courant -- Friedrichs -- Lewy condition in the MHD module. We provide a variety of test problems for this algorithm including both optically thick and thin regimes, and for both gas and radiation pressure dominated flows to demonstrate its accuracy and efficiency.

description: We present a numerical study of noise correlations, i.e., density-density correlations in momentum space, in the extended fermionic Hubbard model in one dimension. In experiments with ultracold atoms, these noise correlations can be extracted from time-of-flight images of the expanding cloud. Using the density-matrix renormalization group method to investigate the Hubbard model at various fillings and interactions, we confirm that the shot noise contains full information on the correlations present in the system. We point out the importance of the sum rules fulfilled by the noise correlations and show that they yield nonsingular structures beyond the predictions of bosonization approaches. Noise correlations can thus serve as a universal probe of order and can be used to characterize the many-body states of cold atoms in optical lattices.

Building a Credit Scoring Model for the Savings and Credit Mutual of the Potou Zone
Creators: name: Hemmes, Frank
Publisher: name: Consilience
Year: 2020

description: Energy consumption by households plays an important part in the creation of greenhouse gasses and thus contributes to climate change. Decreasing this consumption can thus help to reduce emissions. In this article, we look at means to assist consumers in controlling their energy use, by giving them customized feedback on their electricity meter readouts. During a one-month test, customers of Dutch energy utility Greenchoice could upload their electricity meter readouts and receive information to monitor their consumption. Feedback on consumption is thought to stimulate consumers to use less energy. The results of the experiment support this theory, as participating customers consumed 6-7 percentage points less electricity compared to non-participants.

description: Using the gravitational potential and source multipole moments bilinear in the spins, first computed to next-to-leading order (NLO) in the post-Newtonian (PN) expansion within the effective field theory (EFT) framework, we complete here the derivation of the dynamical invariants and flux-balance equations, including energy and angular momentum. We use these results to calculate spin-spin effects in the orbital frequency and accumulated phase to NLO for circular orbits. We also derive the linear momentum and center-of-mass fluxes and associated kick-velocity, to the highest relevant PN order. We explicitly demonstrate the equivalence between the quadratic-in-spin source multipoles obtained using the EFT formalism and those rederived later with more traditional tools, leading to perfect agreement for spin-spin radiative observables to NLO among both approaches.

Resummation of mass terms in perturbative massless quantum field theory
Creators: name: Aste, Andreas
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The neutral massless scalar quantum field $Φ$ in four-dimensional space-time is considered, which is subject to a simple bilinear self-interaction. Is is well-known from renormalization theory that adding a term of the form $-\frac{m^2}{2} Φ^2$ to the Lagrangean has the formal effect of shifting the particle mass from the original zero value to m after resummation of all two-leg insertions in the Feynman graphs appearing in the perturbative expansion of the S-matrix. However, this resummation is accompanied by some subtleties if done in a proper mathematical manner. Although the model seems to be almost trivial, is shows many interesting features which are useful for the understanding of the convergence behavior of perturbation theory in general. Some important facts in connection with the basic principles of quantum field theory and distribution theory are highlighted, and a remark is made on possible generalizations of the distribution spaces used in local quantum field theory. A short discussion how one can view the spontaneous breakdown of gauge symmetry in massive gauge theories within a massless framework is presented.

We analyze the Cerenkov emissions that are associated with the least constrained Lorentz-violating modifications of the photon sector, calculating the threshold energy, the frequency spectrum, and the shape of the Mach cone. In order to obtain sensible results for the total power emitted, we must make use of information contained within the theory which indicates at what scale new physics must enter.

On solutions of matrix-valued convolution equations, anisotropic fractional derivatives and their applications in linear and non-linear anisotropic viscoelasticity
Creators: name: Hanyga, Andrzej
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Analysis of PDEs (math.AP)

description: A relation between matrix-valued complete Bernstein functions and matrix-valued Stieltjes functions is applied to prove that the solutions of matricial convolution equations with extended LICM kernels belong to special classes of functions. In particular the cases of the solutions of the viscoelastic duality relation and the solutions of the matricial Sonine equation are discussed, with applications in anisotropic linear viscoelasticity and a generalization of fractional calculus. In the first case it is in particular shown that duality of completely monotone relaxation functions and Bernstein creep functions in general requires inclusion in the relaxation function of a Newtonian viscosity term in addition to the memory effects represented by the completely monotone kernel. We define anisotropic generalized fractional derivatives (GFD) by replacing the kernel $t^{-α}/Γ(1-α)$ of the Caputo derivatives with completely monotone matrix-valued kernels which are weakly singular at 0.

Peri-Urban Livelihood and Adaptive Capacity: Urban Development in Dar Es Salaam
Creators: name: Ricci, Liana
Publisher: name: Consilience
Year: 2020

description: This research focuses on the interactions between urban development and global environmental change processes as crucial for reducing the impacts of climate change. Together with the challenges of rapid urban growth, environmental change impacts will undermine efforts to achieve sustainable development. Peri-urban refers to the area where urban and rural features and processes meet, intertwine and interact, usually located between city and countryside. Peri-urban growth patterns are shaping most of the urban development in sub-Saharan Africa, raising concerns regarding vulnerability to global environmental change in unplanned settlements. To date, there has been little exploration of the implications of peri-urban patterns for social vulnerability and adaptation options. The study discussed in this paper, conducted in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, illustrates the livelihood strategies and environmental management practices used by peri-urban dwellers, while underlining challenges and opportunities for adaptive capacity. According to a few scholars, the acknowledgement of such hybridity leads to a reconsideration of the dominant strategies for addressing environmental issues in peri-urban areas. Assuming the transition to urban is the best solution, those strategies emphasize the role of infrastructure and services provisioning. Moreover, a criticism of dominant approaches arises through analysis of the recent trend toward ecological security in global cities’ environmental management.

Relationship between cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase activation and smooth muscle relaxation by cyclic AMP and analogs
Creators: name: MacDonell, Karen Loraine
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: It is generally held that adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) mediates smooth muscle relaxation by the activation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA). This hypothesis was tested in two intact smooth muscle preparations, the rat vas deferens and the bovine coronary artery, using exogenously applied cAMP and cAMP analogs. After 30 minutes of incubation, N⁶,2'-0-dibutyryl-cAMP (dBu-cAMP) (1 - 100 μM) inhibited phenylephrine (PE)-induced tension generation in the rat vas deferens in a dose-dependent manner. This analog (10 μM) also activated the soluble fraction of PKA but did not activate the particulate fraction kinase. In contrast, 8-bromo-cAMP (8Br-cAMP) (10 -100 μM) did not have any significant effect on inhibition of PE-induced tension after 30 minutes of incubation but, at a concentration of 10 μM, significantly activated both the soluble and particulate fractions of PKA. The time course of activation of soluble PKA activation by 8Br-cAMP (10 μM) demonstrated that the kinase was significantly activated only after 30 minutes of exposure to the analog. In the bovine coronary artery, cAMP (10 - 100 μM) relaxed potassium-depolarized helical strips and significantly activated soluble PKA in a dose-dependent manner. dBu-cAMP (10 - 100 μM) affected neither tension nor soluble PKA activity. 8Br-cAMP (10 - 100 μM) did not affect the coronary artery tension but did activate soluble PKA. Both smooth muscle preparations were homogenized with charcoal prior to the determination of PKA activity in order to minimize artifactual assay results. As a further precaution, extracellularly associated cAMP and analogs were also washed from bovine coronary artery strips after the incubation period. These controls allowed for a valid assessment of PKA activity in the cyclic nucleotide-treated tissues. The results of the tension and kinase studies demonstrate a lack of correlation between activation of PKA and inhibition of rat vas deferens contraction or relaxation of bovine coronary artery. This does not support the hypothesis that the kinase is responsible for cAMP-induced relaxation of vascular and non-vascular smooth muscle. While the mechanism by which exogenous cAMP and specific analogs induce relaxation in some smooth muscle preparations remains unclear, it can be suggested that PKA activation is not necessarily required for the final functional effect.

description: We report micro-photoluminescence studies of single GaN/AlN quantum dots grown along the (0001) crystal axis by molecular beam epitaxy on Si(111) substrates. The emission lines exhibit a linear polarization along the growth plane, but with varying magnitudes of the polarization degree and with principal polarization axes that do not necessarily correspond to crystallographic directions. Moreover, we could not observe any splitting of polarized emission lines, at least within the spectral resolution of our setup (1 meV). We propose a model based on the joint effects of electron-hole exchange interaction and in-plane anisotropy of strain and/or quantum dot shape, in order to explain the quantitative differences between our observations and those previously reported on, e.g. CdTe- or InAs-based quantum dots.

description: Jupiter co-orbital comets have orbits that are not long-term stable. They may experience flybys with Jupiter close enough to trigger tidal disruptions like the one suffered by comet Shoemaker-Levy 9. Our aim was to study the activity and dynamical evolution of the Jupiter co-orbital comet P/2019 LD2 (ATLAS). We present results of an observational study carried out with the 10.4m Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) that includes image analyses using a MC dust tail fitting code to characterize its activity, and spectroscopic studies to search for gas emission. We also present N-body simulations to explore its orbital evolution. Images of LD2 obtained on 2020 May 16 show a conspicuous coma and tail. The spectrum does not exhibit any evidence of CN, C2, or C3 emission. The comet brightness in a 2.6 arcsec aperture is r'=19.34+/-0.02 mag, with colors (g'-r')=0.78+/-0.03, (r'-i')=0.31+/-0.03, and (i'-z')=0.26+/-0.03. The temporal dependence of the dust loss rate can be parameterized by a Gaussian having a FWHM of 350 days and a maximum of 60 kg/s reached on 2019 August 15. The total dust loss rate is 1.9e09 kg. LD2 is now following what looks like a short arc of a quasi-satellite cycle that started in 2017 and will end in 2028. On 2063 January 23, it will experience a very close encounter with Jupiter at 0.016 au. Its probability of escaping the solar system during the next 0.5 Myr is 0.53+/-0.03. LD2 is a kilometer-sized object, in the size range of the Jupiter-family comets, with a typical comet-like activity likely linked to sublimation of crystalline water ice and clathrates. Its origin is still an open question. We report a probability of LD2 having been captured from interstellar space during the last 0.5 Myr of 0.49+/-0.02, 0.67+/-0.06 during the last 1 Myr, 0.83+/-0.06 over 3 Myr, and 0.91+/-0.09 during the last 5 Myr.

Causes of Poor Service Delivery in Africa and Their Impact on Development
Creators: name: Odaro, Esohe Denise
Publisher: name: Consilience

description: Service delivery remains a pressing issue throughout Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Recently, the focus of government policies on meeting the Millennium Development Goals has increased attention on better provision of services. At present, however, services in Africa lag significantly behind those of other developing countries and are considerably more expensive than elsewhere (Foster & Briceno; 2010). This paper explores the factors affecting service delivery in SSA and compares public services provision to private sector service delivery, as well as the impact of both on development. The paper unfolds in three steps: After a brief review of the current condition of services, I will examine the shortlist of identified factors contributing to the current state of services and conclude with brief recommendations. I have excluded South Africa in my analysis because it is more developed than other countries in the region. This is by no means intended to be an exhaustive list of causal factors and capacity constraints allow for only partial considerations of primarily, water, and to a lesser extent, sanitation and electricity.

description: Transition rate measurements are reported for the first and the second 2+ states in N=Z 64Ge. The experimental results are in excellent agreement with large-scale Shell Model calculations applying the recently developed GXPF1A interactions. Theoretical analysis suggests that 64Ge is a collective gamma-soft anharmonic vibrator. The measurement was done using the Recoil Distance Method (RDM) and a unique combination of state-of-the-art instruments at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL). States of interest were populated via an intermediate-energy single-neutron knock-out reaction. RDM studies of knock-out and fragmentation reaction products hold the promise of reaching far from stability and providing lifetime information for excited states in a wide range of nuclei.
High Dependency on Quacks – Is There a Gap in the Public Health Care Delivery System? Reflections from a District Located in the Thar Desert (India)
Creators: name: Singh, Alok Chauhan
Publisher: name: Consilience
Year: 2020

description: This paper tries to analyse the availability and role of public health care services provided by the public sector in India. In addition, it also explores the reasons behind the high dependency on quacks in the study area. Data was acquired through in-depth interviews of 610 respondents with the help of a structured questionnaire from September to December 2010. Here, an attempt has been made to probe the pattern of utilization of health care services available at public health facilities by the sample respondents. It has been assessed in relation to socio-economic and demographic characteristics of the interviewees which exert significant influence on the utilization of health care facilities. The study finds that the number of CHCs/PHCs/Sub-centres in the study area is not adequate to meet the health needs (medical advice or treatment) of entire the population. The results recommend improving the availability and accessibility of health care facilities in the area under study.

Econometric Analysis of Factors Influencing Fuel Wood Demand in Rural and Peri-Urban Farm Households of Kogi State
Creators: name: Onoja, Anthony O
name: Idoko, Ojochenemi
Publisher: name: Consilience
Year: 2020

description: This study was designed to determine variables influencing fuelwood demand in rural areas of Kogi State. Eighty households were randomly sampled from all the Agricultural Zones of the state. A 2SLS method was then used for estimation of the coefficients of the simultaneous equation model. The most significant determinants of fuelwood demand in the study area are the price of fuelwood, kerosene’s price, household size and personal incomes of the household heads. In light of this study’s findings, recommendations included reduction of kerosene prices, investment in renewable energy, cooking gas and electricity and use of agricultural extension agents to educate farmers on sustainable farming.

description: Aims: ``Compact ellipticals'' are so rare that a search for M32 analogs is needed to ensure the very existence of this class. Methods: We report here the discovery of A496cE, a M32 twin in the cluster Abell 496, located in the halo of the central cD. Results: Based on CFHT and HST imaging we show that the light profile of A496cE requires a two component fit: a Sersic bulge and an exponential disc. The spectrum of A496cE obtained with the ESO-VLT FLAMES/Giraffe spectrograph can be fit by a stellar synthesis spectrum dominated by old stars, with high values of [Mg/Fe] and velocity dispersion. Conclusions: The capture of A496cE by the cD galaxy and tidal stripping of most of its disc are briefly discussed.

Between Discourses of Extreme Pressure and Modernization: Small Farmers’ Diverse Perceptions of Vulnerability to Soy in Santarém, Pará
Creators: name: Theis, Sophie

Publisher: name: Consilience
Year: 2020

description: The socio-ecological implications of the soybean agricultural expansion in the Brazilian Amazon cannot be fully understood without examining the interactions between soy and small farmers. The expansion of soy in Santarém following the construction of the Cargill port in 2001 has affected local smallholders, but how and to what degree is the subject of significant controversy. Discourse has emerged describing the impact of soybean agricultural expansion on the small farmers of the region. One discourse, which we term the modernization discourse, depicts effects on smallholders like migration as natural and welfare-improving. In opposition, a second discourse, which we term the extreme pressure discourse, portrays smallholders as struggling to survive under social, economic, and biological pressures associated with rapid land-use change due to soy. However, characterizing smallholders’ livelihoods as vulnerable too often assumes that smallholders have a single, homogenous experience of the expansion of soy agriculture and that they are unable to adapt to changes. Interviews with smallholders who remain farming in 20 communities of rural Santarém reveal heterogeneity in farmers’ perceptions to the soybean-smallholder conflict. Understanding of vulnerability must expand to encapsulate farmers’ adaptive capacity. Smallholders do express a desire and capacity to maintain a rural livelihood and their farming identity amidst the land-use change. Smallholders’ perceptions of the impacts of the soy frontier complicate both extremes of public discourse vis-à-vis the soy conflict.

description: It has recently been proved that, in the presence of vortex flows, the fluctuation dynamics of a rotating photon-fluid model is governed by the Klein-Gordon equation of an effective massive scalar field in a $(2+1)$-dimensional acoustic black-hole spacetime. Interestingly, it has been demonstrated numerically that the rotating acoustic black hole, like the familiar Kerr black-hole spacetime, may support spatially regular stationary density fluctuations (linearized acoustic scalar `clouds') in its exterior regions. In particular, it has been shown that the composed rotating-acoustic-black-hole-stationary-scalar-field configurations of the photon-fluid model exist in the narrow dimensionless regime $α\equivΩ_0/mΩ_{\text{H}}\in(1,α_{\text{max}})$ with $α_{\text{max}}\simeq 1.08$ [here $Ω_{\text{H}}$ is the angular velocity of the black-hole horizon and $\{Ω_0,m\}$ are respectively the effective proper mass and the azimuthal harmonic index of the acoustic scalar field]. In the present paper we use analytical techniques in order to explore the physical and mathematical properties of the acoustic scalar clouds of the photon-fluid model in the regime $Ω_{\text{H}}r_{\text{H}}\gg1$ of rapidly-spinning central supporting acoustic black holes. In particular, we derive a remarkably compact analytical formula for the discrete resonance spectrum $\{Ω_0(Ω_{\text{H}},m;n)\}$ which characterizes the stationary bound-state acoustic scalar clouds of the photon-fluid model. Interestingly, it is proved that the critical (maximal) mass parameter $α_{\text{max}}$, which determines the regime of existence of the composed acoustic-black-hole-stationary-bound-state-massive-scalar-field configurations, is given by the exact dimensionless relation $α_{\text{max}}=\sqrt{{{32}\over{27}}}$.

description: We study four dimensional non-abelian gauge theories with classical moduli. Introducing a chemical potential for a flavor charge causes moduli to become unstable and start condensing. We show that the moduli condensation in the presence of a chemical potential generates nonabelian field strength condensates. These condensates are homogeneous but non-isotropic. The end point of the condensation process is a stable homogeneous, but non-isotropic, vacuum in which both gauge and flavor symmetries and the rotational invariance are spontaneously broken. Possible applications of this phenomenon for the gauge theory/string theory correspondence and in cosmology are briefly discussed.
