General and Unified Model of the Power Flow Problem in Multiterminal AC/DC Networks

Mario Paolone, Willem Lambrichts

This paper proposes a generic and unified model of the power flow (PF) problem for multiterminal hybrid AC/DC networks. The proposed model is an extension of the standard AC-PF. The DC network is treated as an AC one and, in addition to the Slack, PV and P ...

Microscopic field theory for structure formation in systems of self-propelled particles with generic torques

Ignacio Pagonabarraga Mora, Elena Sesé Sansa

We derive a dynamical field theory for self-propelled particles subjected to generic torques and forces by explicitly coarse-graining their microscopic dynamics, described by a many-body Fokker-Planck equation. The model includes both intrinsic torques ind ...

Unified theory of atom-centered representations and message-passing machine-learning schemes

Michele Ceriotti, Jigyasa Nigam, Guillaume André Jean Fraux, Sergey Pozdnyakov

Data-driven schemes that associate molecular and crystal structures with their microscopic properties share the need for a concise, effective description of the arrangement of their atomic constituents. Many types of models rely on descriptions of atom-cen ...

The art of simulating the early universe. Part I. Integration techniques and canonical cases

Daniel Garcia Figueroa, Adrien Florio, Wessel Valkenburg

We present a comprehensive discussion on lattice techniques for the simulation of scalar and gauge field dynamics in an expanding universe. After reviewing the continuum formulation of scalar and gauge field interactions in Minkowski and FLRW backgrounds, ...

Stochastic gravitational-wave background from metastable cosmic strings

Valerie Fiona Domcke

A metastable cosmic-string network is a generic consequence of many grand unified theories (GUTs) when combined with cosmic inflation. Metastable cosmic strings are not topologically stable, but decay on cosmic time scales due to pair production of GUT mon ...

Aspects of Gauge Theories Vacua

Adrien Florio

This thesis is concerned with gauge theories, their complicated vacuum and resulting effects. After an introduction to the subject, it is divided into four parts. Firstly, we treat the problem of chiral charge dynamics at finite temperature. Quantum field ...

Superexchange mechanism and quantum many body excitations in the archetypal di-Cu oxo-bridge

Cédric Weber, Edward Baxter Linscott

The hemocyanin protein binds and transports molecular oxygen via two copper atoms at its core. The singlet state of the Cu2O2 core is thought to be stabilised by a superexchange pathway, but detailed in situ computational analysis is complicated by the mul ...

Functional penalised basis pursuit on spheres

Matthieu Martin Jean-André Simeoni

In this work, we propose a unified theoretical and practical spherical approximation framework for functional inverse problems on the hypersphere. More specifically, we consider recovering spherical fields directly in the continuous domain using functional ...

Quantum effects in Palatini Higgs inflation

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Andrey Shkerin, Sebastian Zell

We study quantum effects in Higgs inflation in the Palatini formulation of gravity, in which the metric and connection are treated as independent variables. We exploit the fact that the cutoff, above which perturbation theory breaks down, is higher than th ...

The emergence of small-scale self-affine surface roughness from deformation

Till Junge

Most natural and man-made surfaces appear to be rough on many length scales. There is presently no unifying theory of the origin of roughness or the self-affine nature of surface topography. One likely contributor to the formation of roughness is deformati ...

A Return on Our Experience of Using Services as a Unifying Concept for Business and IT Alignment in a University

Alain Wegmann, Gorica Tapandjieva Sekulovska

We describe the use of the concept of service for aligning the business activities of an organization and its IT resources. This work is set in the context of a longitudinal action-research project between our research unit and our university's IT departme ...

Representations and descriptors unifying the study of molecular and bulk systems

Kevin Rossi

Establishing a unified framework for describing the structures of molecular and periodic systems is a long-standing challenge in physics, chemistry, and material science. With the rise of machine learning methods in these fields, there is a growing need fo ...

The epsilon expansion meets semiclassics

Riccardo Rattazzi, Alexander Monin, Gabriel Francisco Cuomo, Gil Badel

We study the scaling dimension Delta(phi n) of the operator phi(n) where phi is the fundamental complex field of the U(1) model at the Wilson-Fisher fixed point in d = 4 - epsilon. Even for a perturbatively small fixed point coupling lambda*, standard pert ...

What do gravitons say about (unimodular) gravity?

Mario Herrero Valea

We revisit the problem of constraining the weak field limit of the gravitational lagrangian from S-matrix properties. From unitarity and Lorentz invariance of the S-matrix of massless gravitons, we derive on-shell gauge invariance to consist on the transve ...

Towards a non-perturbative approach to the Hierarchy problem

Andrey Shkerin

In this report, based on [1], we suggest that the hierarchy between the Electroweak (EW) and the Planck scales can emerge due to a nonperturbative effect that relates low-energy and strong-gravity physics. In this mechanism, the EW scale results from an ex ...
