High-order accurate entropy stable adaptive moving mesh finite difference schemes for special relativistic (magneto)hydrodynamics

This paper develops high-order accurate entropy stable (ES) adaptive moving mesh finite difference schemes for the two- and three-dimensional special relativistic hydrodynamic (RHD) and magnetohydrodynamic (RMHD) equations, which is the high-order accurate ...

Local excitations in amorphous solids

Wencheng Ji

Amorphous solids are structurally disordered. They are very common and include glasses, colloids, and granular materials, but are far less understood than crystalline solids. Key aspects of these materials are controlled by the presence of excitations in w ...

Hamiltonian truncation in Anti-de Sitter spacetime

João Miguel Augusto Penedones Fernandes, Marco Meineri, Kamran Salehi Vaziri, Matthijs Jan Hogervorst

Quantum Field Theories (QFTs) in Anti-de Sitter (AdS) spacetime are often strongly coupled when the radius of AdS is large, and few methods are available to study them. In this work, we develop a Hamiltonian truncation method to compute the energy spectrum ...

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

Adrien Florio, Wessel Valkenburg, Daniel Garcia Figueroa, Francisco Torrenti

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, ...

Goldstone equivalence and high energy electroweak physics

Andrea Wulzer, Gabriel Francisco Cuomo, Luca Vecchi

The transition between the broken and unbroken phases of massive gauge theories, namely the rearrangement of longitudinal and Goldstone degrees of freedom that occurs at high energy, is not manifestly smooth in the standard formalism. The lack of smoothnes ...

Complements to Mugge and Friedel's Theory of Twinning

Cyril Cayron

The crystallography of twinning is based on the concepts of simple shear and obliquity introduced by Mugge, Mallard and Friedel at the turn of the last century, with tensor mathematics later developed by Bilby, Bevis and Crocker in the 1960s. We propose a ...

Large charge, semiclassics and superfluids : from broken symmetries to conformal field theories

Gabriel Francisco Cuomo

This thesis explores the application of semiclassical methods in the study of states with large quantum numbers for theories invariant under internal symmetries. In the first part of the thesis, we study zero-temperature superfluids. These provide a gener ...

Geometric robustness of deep networks: analysis and improvement

Pascal Frossard, Seyed Mohsen Moosavi Dezfooli, Can Kanbak

Deep convolutional neural networks have been shown to be vulnerable to arbitrary geometric transformations. However, there is no systematic method to measure the invariance properties of deep networks to such transformations. We propose ManiFool as a simpl ...

Combine and conquer: Relating BIP and Reo

Simon Bliudze

Coordination languages simplify design and development of concurrent systems. Particularly, exogenous coordination languages, like BIP and Reo, enable system designers to express the interactions among components in a system explicitly. A formal relation b ...

Shape Projectors for Landmark-Based Spline Curves

Michaël Unser, Daniel Andreas Schmitter

We present a generic method to construct orthogonal projectors for two-dimensional landmark-based parametric spline curves. We construct vector spaces that define a geometric transformation (e.g., affine, similarity, and scaling) that is applied to a refer ...

Poincaré, Scale and Conformal Symmetries : Gauge Perspective and Cosmological Ramifications

Georgios Karananas

Symmetries are omnipresent and play a fundamental role in the description of Nature. Thanks to them, we have at our disposal nontrivial selection rules that dictate how a theory should be constructed. This thesis, which is naturally divided into two parts, ...

Projective transformations of structural equilibrium

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet

Direct methods that transform the geometry of a structure and conserve its static equilibrium are of particular interest for designers. They allow the exploration of alternative solutions at minimum computational cost. While parallel transformations (stret ...

Local Geometric Transformations in Image Analysis

Zsuzsanna Püspöki

The characterization of images by geometric features facilitates the precise analysis of the structures found in biological micrographs such as cells, proteins, or tissues. In this thesis, we study image representations that are adapted to local geometric ...

Data Reconciliation in Open Reaction Systems using the Concept of Extents

Dominique Bonvin, Julien Léo Billeter, Sriniketh Srinivasan

Kinetic models of chemical reaction systems are typically represented in terms of state variables, such as concentrations, temperature and partial pressures [1]. These state variables in turn depend on the underlying reactions, transfer phenomena, and tran ...

On the Use of Extents for Process Monitoring and Fault Diagnosis

Dominique Bonvin, Julien Léo Billeter, Sriniketh Srinivasan

Process monitoring and fault diagnosis are broadly used to control quality and enforce safety compliance in industrial processes. Processes are commonly monitored by online spectroscopy, with either PCA or calibration techniques such as PLS being used to p ...

General coordinate invariance in quantum many-body systems

Alexander Monin, Solomon G Shamsuddin Osman Endlich

We extend the notion of general coordinate invariance to many-body, not necessarily relativistic, systems. As an application, we investigate nonrelativistic general covariance in Galilei-invariant systems. The peculiar transformation rules for the backgrou ...

Robust Image Reconstruction from Multiview Measurements

Pierre Vandergheynst, Gilles Puy

We propose a novel method to accurately reconstruct a set of images representing a single scene from a few linear multiview measurements. Each observed image is modeled as the sum of a background image and a foreground one. The background image is common t ...
