Excited State-Specific CASSCF Theory for the Torsion of Ethylene

Sandra Saade

State-specific complete active space self-consistent field (SS-CASSCF) theory has emerged as a promising route to accurately predict electronically excited energy surfaces away from molecular equilibria. However, its accuracy and practicality for chemical ...

Correlation of powers of Hüsler-Reiss vectors and Brown-Resnick fields, and application to insured wind losses

Erwan Fabrice Koch

H & uuml;sler-Reiss vectors and Brown-Resnick fields are popular models in multivariate and spatial extreme-value theory, respectively, and are widely used in applications. We provide analytical formulas for the correlation between powers of the components ...

Where is M-theory in the space of scattering amplitudes?

João Miguel Augusto Penedones Fernandes, Andrea Guerrieri

We use the S-matrix bootstrap to carve out the space of unitary, analytic, crossing symmetric and supersymmetric graviton scattering amplitudes in nine, ten and eleven dimensions. We extend and improve the numerical methods of our previous work in ten dime ...

Scattering from Time-Modulated Transmission-Line Loads: Theory and Experiments in Acoustics

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Matthieu Francis Malléjac

Scattering wave systems that are periodically modulated in time offer many new degrees of freedom to control waves in both the spatial and frequency domains. Such systems, albeit linear, do not conserve frequency and require the adaptation of the usual the ...

Infrared-active phonons in one-dimensional materials and their spectroscopic signatures

Nicola Marzari, Thibault Daniel Pierre Sohier, Norma Rivano

Dimensionality provides a clear fingerprint on the dispersion of infrared-active, polar-optical phonons. For these phonons, the local dipoles parametrized by the Born effective charges drive the LO-TO splitting of bulk materials; this splitting actually br ...

Bayes Security: A Not So Average Metric

Carmela González Troncoso, Giovanni Cherubin

Security system designers favor worst-case security metrics, such as those derived from differential privacy (DP), due to the strong guarantees they provide. On the downside, these guarantees result in a high penalty on the system's performance. In this pa ...

GLOBALLY plus -REGULAR VARIETIES AND THE MINIMAL MODEL PROGRAM FOR THREEFOLDS IN MIXED CHARACTERISTIC

Zsolt Patakfalvi

We establish the Minimal Model Program for arithmetic threefolds whose residue characteristics are greater than five. In doing this, we generalize the theory of global F-regularity to mixed characteristic and identify certain stable sections of adjoint lin ...

Nonlocally-resonant metamaterials

Aleksi Antoine Bossart

In this thesis, we unveil a third design path to manipulate elastic waves within architected media, distinct from the traditional phononic crystal and locally-resonant metamaterial concepts. The core innovation lies in the concept of nonlocal resonances, d ...

Homogenization results for the generator of multiscale Langevin dynamics in weighted Sobolev spaces

Andrea Zanoni

We study the homogenization of the Poisson equation with a reaction term and of the eigenvalue problem associated to the generator of multiscale Langevin dynamics. Our analysis extends the theory of two-scale convergence to the case of weighted Sobolev spa ...

Measurement of the 171Tm beta spectrum

Lesya Shchutska, Maarten Willibrord Uriël Van Dijk, Alexey Boyarsky

The beta spectrum of the main transition of the 171Tm was measured using a double focalizing spectrometer. The instrument was lately improved in order to reduce its low energy threshold to 34 keV. We used the spectrometer to measure the energy end-point of ...

Cycling Interaction Rituals in the Conflict against the Car. From the Bike Subculture to the City Scale and Beyond

Alexandre André Robert Rigal

Mobility scholars have long been interested in challenging the automobile's hegemony in the street, particularly by highlighting how to develop urban cycling. The article contributes to this task by explaining how one type of conflict between the bike and ...

First-person experience cannot rescue causal structure theories from the unfolding argument

Michael Herzog, Adrien Christophe Doerig, Aaron Schurger

We recently put forward an argument, the Unfolding Argument (UA), that integrated information theory (IIT) and other causal structure theories are either already falsified or unfalsifiable, which provoked significant criticism. It seems that we and the cri ...

Semiclassical methods in conformal field theories scrutinized by the epsilon-expansion

Gil Badel

Conformal Field Theories (CFTs) are crucial for our understanding of Quantum Field Theory (QFT). Because of their powerful symmetry properties, they play the role of signposts in the space of QFTs. Any method that gives us information about their structure ...

Studies on Types: Dormitories

Tiago André Pratas Borges, Anja Fröhlich, Estelle Lépine, Vanessa Pointet

Concepts of type and typology are not specific to architecture. Rather they represent an interdisciplinary approach to ordering knowledge and gaining insight. In the field of architecture, the study of types and typology offers a didactic perspective that ...

Formula Normalizations in Verification

Viktor Kuncak, Simon Guilloud, Dragana Milovancevic, Mario Bucev

We propose a new approach for normalization and simplification of logical formulas. Our approach is based on algorithms for lattice-like structures. Specifically, we present two efficient algorithms for computing a normal form and deciding the word problem ...

Excitonic devices with van der Waals heterostructures: valleytronics meets twistronics

Andras Kis, Ahmet Avsar, Alberto Ciarrocchi, Fedele Tagarelli

2D semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides comprise an emerging class of materials with distinct properties, including large exciton binding energies that reach hundreds of millielectronvolts and valley-contrasting physics. Thanks to the van der Wa ...

Nonperturbative Quantum Field Theory in Curved Spacetime

Kamran Salehi Vaziri

Quantum Field Theory(QFT) as one of the most promising frameworks to study high energy and condensed matter physics, has been mostly developed by perturbative methods. However, perturbative methods can only capture a small island of the space of QFTs. QFT ...

On the commutativity of flows of rough vector fields

Maria Colombo, Riccardo Tione

In the class of Sobolev vector fields in R-n of bounded divergence, for which the theory of DiPerna and Lions provides a well defined notion of flow, we characterize the vector fields whose flow commutes in terms of the Lie bracket and of a regularity cond ...

Identity-Society (Mis)Alignment And The Instrumentalization Of Firm Creation: Creative Destruction And Creative Reconstruction

Marc Gruber, Shirah Eden Foy

Research on founder identity has significantly advanced our understanding of entrepreneurship and related literatures. By departing from the widely held-though often implicit-assumption that culture defines the parameters of identity formation, this paper ...

Where Is String Theory in the Space of Scattering Amplitudes?

We use the S-matrix bootstrap to carve out the space of unitary, crossing symmetric and supersymmetric graviton scattering amplitudes in ten dimensions. We focus on the leading Wilson coefficient a controlling the leading correction to maximal supergravity ...
