Universal Casimir attraction between filaments at the cell scale

The electromagnetic Casimir interaction between dielectric objects immersed in salted water includes a universal contribution that is not screened by the solvent and therefore long-ranged. Here, we study the geometry of two parallel dielectric cylinders. W ...

Scale invariant Einstein-Cartan gravity and flat space conformal symmetry

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Georgios Karananas, Sebastian Zell

We find the conditions under which scale-invariant Einstein-Cartan gravity with scalar matter fields leads to an approximate conformal invariance of the flat space particle theory up to energies of the order of the Planck mass. In the minimal setup, these ...

Hints of the Photonic Nature of the Electromagnetic Fields in Classical Electrodynamics

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein

Several recent publications show that the electromagnetic radiation generated by transmitting antennas satisfy the following universal conditions: The time domain radiation fields satisfy the condition A ≥ h/4π ⇒ q ≥ e where A is the action of the radiatio ...

BOSS Correlation Function analysis from the Effective Field Theory of Large-Scale Structure

Cheng Zhao

After calibrating the predictions of the Effective Field Theory of Large-Scale Structure against several sets of simulations, as well as implementing a new method to assert the scale cut of the theory without the use of any simulation, we analyze the Full ...

Age-Optimal Causal Labeling of Memoryless Processes

Emre Telatar, Yunus Inan

We consider a problem of labeling a memoryless temporal point process. The labelings have to be done causally. We study the tradeoff between the rate and age of the labeled process and characterize the optimal tradeoff curve. We show that the optimal curve ...

Completed SDSS-IV extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: Cosmological implications from two decades of spectroscopic surveys at the Apache Point Observatory

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Andrei Variu, Zheng Zheng, Cheng Zhao, Anand Stéphane Raichoor, Johan Comparat, Amélie Tamone, Yuting Wang

We present the cosmological implications from final measurements of clustering using galaxies, quasars, and Ly alpha forests from the completed Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) lineage of experiments in large-scale structure. These experiments, composed of ...

Einstein-Cartan gravity, matter, and scale-invariant generalization

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Andrey Shkerin, Inar Timiryasov, Sebastian Zell

We study gravity coupled to scalar and fermion fields in the Einstein-Cartan framework. We discuss the most general form of the action that contains terms of mass dimension not bigger than four, leaving out only contributions quadratic in curvature. By res ...

The completed SDSS-IV extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: BAO and RSD measurements from the anisotropic power spectrum of the quasar sample between redshift 0.8 and 2.2

Cheng Zhao

We measure the clustering of quasars of the final data release (DR16) of eBOSS. The sample contains 343 708 quasars between redshifts 0.8

Multidimensional Measures of Physical Activity and Their Association with Gross Motor Capacity in Children and Adolescents with Cerebral Palsy

Anisoara Ionescu, Lena Carcreff, Stéphane Armand

The current lack of adapted performance metrics leads clinicians to focus on what children with cerebral palsy (CP) do in a clinical setting, despite the ongoing debate on whether capacity (what they do at best) adequately reflects performance (what they d ...

Max-infinitely divisible models and inference for spatial extremes

Emeric Rolland Georges Thibaud, Raphaël Huser

For many environmental processes, recent studies have shown that the dependence strength is decreasing when quantile levels increase. This implies that the popular max-stable models are inadequate to capture the rate of joint tail decay, and to estimate jo ...

Origin of high strength in the CoCrFeNiPd high-entropy alloy

William Curtin, Binglun Yin

IMPACT STATEMENT Experiments and theory are highlighting chemical ordering in high-entropy alloys (HEAs) as important for mechanical properties but the high strength in CoCrFeNiPd is predicted here to be achievable in the random alloy due to the large misf ...

Dilaton-assisted generation of the Fermi scale from the Planck scale

Andrey Shkerin

In scale-invariant theories of gravity the Planck mass M-p, which appears due to spontaneous symmetry breaking, can be the only scale at the classical level. It was argued that the second scale can be generated by a quantum nonperturbative gravitational ef ...

A Simple Theoretical Model of Importance for Summarization

Maxime Jean Julien Peyrard

Research on summarization has mainly been driven by empirical approaches, crafting systems to perform well on standard datasets with the notion of information Importance remaining latent. We argue that establishing theoretical models of Importance will adv ...

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 ...

Conformal symmetry: Towards the link between the Fermi and the Planck scales

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Andrey Shkerin

If the mass of the Higgs boson is put to zero, the classical Lagrangian of the Standard Model (SM) becomes conformally invariant (CI). Taking into account quantum non-perturbative QCD effects violating CI leads to electroweak symmetry breaking with the sca ...

Gravity, scale invariance and the hierarchy problem

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Andrey Shkerin

Combining the quantum scale invariance with the absence of new degrees of freedom above the electroweak scale leads to stability of the latter against perturbative quantum corrections. Nevertheless, the hierarchy between the weak and the Planck scales rema ...

Conductor Performance of CCCN3, CCCN4 and CCCN5 Samples for ITER CC Coils

Pierluigi Bruzzone, Kamil Sedlák, Boris Stepanov, Fang Liu, Bo Liu

The conductor for the ITER Correction Coils (CC) is manufactured in China and is tested in the SULTAN facility. The third China CC conductor for the qualification SULTAN test sample (CCCN3) was prepared from a 200 m long CC conductor unit length (Phase II) ...

Imaging and manipulation of skyrmion lattice domains in Cu2OSeO3

Helmuth Berger

Nanoscale chiral skyrmions in noncentrosymmetric helimagnets are promising binary state variables in high-density, low-energy nonvolatile memory. Skyrmions are ubiquitous as an ordered, single-domain lattice phase, which makes it difficult to write informa ...

MASS-CONCENTRATION RELATION OF CLUSTERS OF GALAXIES FROM CFHTLenS

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Huanyuan Shan

Based on weak lensing data from the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Lensing Survey (CFHTLenS), in this paper we study the mass-concentration (M-c) relation for similar to 200 redMaPPer clusters in the fields. We extract the M-c relation by measuring the den ...

Warped dipole completed, with a tower of Higgs bosons

Minho Son

In the context of warped extra-dimensional models which address both the Planck-weak- and flavor-hierarchies of the Standard Model (SM), it has been argued that certain observables can be calculated within the 5D effective field theory only with the Higgs ...
