BPS invariants from p-adic integrals

Dimitri Stelio Wyss, Francesca Carocci, Giulio Orecchia

We define p-adic BPS or pBPS invariants for moduli spaces M-beta,M-chi of one-dimensional sheaves on del Pezzo and K3 surfaces by means of integration over a non-archimedean local field F. Our definition relies on a canonical measure mu can on the F-analyt ...

Multiplicity-free Representations of Algebraic Groups

Donna Testerman, Martin W. Liebeck

Let K be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, and let G be a connected reductive algebraic group over K. We address the problem of classifying triples (G, H, V ), where H is a proper connected subgroup of G, and V is a finitedimensional ir ...

Correlating long-term performance and aging behaviour of building integrated PV modules

Christophe Ballif, Alessandro Francesco Aldo Virtuani, Ebrar Özkalay

Because building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) modules are fully integrated into a building envelope, the back of the module can be exposed to little or no ventilation, resulting in increased operating temperatures. As the temperature increases, the perfo ...

Correspondence functors and duality

Jacques Thévenaz, Serge Bouc

A correspondence functor is a functor from the category of finite sets and correspondences to the category of k-modules, where k is a commutative ring. By means of a suitably defined duality, new correspondence functors are constructed, having remarkable p ...

Interlocking modular microfluidic cooling substrates for future high energy physics experiments

Massimo Angeletti

In high energy physics, semiconductor-based sensors are widely used in particle tracking applications. These sensors are typically glued on low-mass cooling substrates, which guarantee the correct thermal management and, at the same time, minimise their in ...

Chromatin modules and their implication in genomic organization and gene regulation

Bart Deplancke, Guido Van Mierlo, Judith Franziska Kribelbauer

Regulation of gene expression is a complex but highly guided process. While genomic technologies and computational approaches have allowed high-throughput mapping of cis-regulatory elements (CREs) and their interactions in 3D, their precise role in regulat ...

Long-term performance and reliability of silicon heterojunction solar modules

Christophe Ballif, Alessandro Francesco Aldo Virtuani, Olatz Arriaga Arruti

The high-efficiency silicon heterojunction (SHJ) technology is now perceived mature enough to enter the Giga-Watt manufacturing scale with several players around the globe. The growth of the SHJ technology requires confidence from manufacturers, investors, ...

Generic direct summands of tensor products for simple algebraic groups and quantum groups at roots of unity

Jonathan Gruber

Let G be either a simple linear algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic l>0 or a quantum group at an l-th root of unity. The category Rep(G) of finite-dimensional G-modules is non-semisimple. In this thesis, we develop new tech ...

Operating Temperatures and Diurnal Temperature Variations of Modules Installed in Open-Rack and Typical BIPV Configurations

Christophe Ballif, Alessandro Francesco Aldo Virtuani, Andrew Wayne Fairbrother

Because of building skin integration with restricted or reduced rear-side ventilation, elevated operating temperatures are expected in building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) modules and systems, which may impact their long performance and reliability. Th ...

Serre-Tate theory for Calabi-Yau varieties

Maciej Emilian Zdanowicz

Classical Serre-Tate theory describes deformations of ordinary abelian varieties. It implies that every such variety has a canonical lift to characteristic zero and equips the base of its universal deformation with a Frobenius lifting and canonical multipl ...

Monitoring the Operating Temperatures of Modules in Open-Rack and Typical BIPV Configurations

Christophe Ballif, Alessandro Francesco Aldo Virtuani, Andrew Wayne Fairbrother, Ebrar Özkalay

Elevated operating temperatures are expected in BIPV systems due to restricted or reduced rear-side ventilation, which impacts their performance and reliability. This work reports operating temperatures and diurnal (day-night) temperature variations of the ...

From metrics towards meaningful assessments of urban sustainability - exploring visions, frameworks and indicators

Pekka Jaakko Halla

Problem statement. Cities hold a central role in global efforts towards sustainability, and integrating sustainability concerns into the governance of cities constitutes an increasingly urgent challenge. One avenue holding promise in this respect concerns ...

Spherical birational sheets in reductive groups

Filippo Ambrosio

We classify the spherical birational sheets in a complex simple simply-connected algebraic group. We use the classification to show that, when G is a connected reductive complex algebraic group with simply-connected derived subgroup, two conjugacy classes ...

Stability of inks used for masking metallic interconnects in BIPV modules

Christophe Ballif, Alessandro Francesco Aldo Virtuani, Alejandro Borja Block

The necessity to reduce carbon emissions has pushed European institutions to foster the adoption - for new buildings - of Nearly Zero Energy Buildings, which need to minimize energy consumption with energy generated on site. This opens up an enormous poten ...

Soft pneumatic actuator-driven origami-inspired modular robotic ‘‘pneumagami’’

Jamie Paik, Matthew Aaron Robertson, Özdemir Can Kara

This article presents a new modular robotic platform for enabling reconfigurable, actively controlled, high-degree-of-freedom (high-DoF) systems with compact form factor. The robotic modules exploit the advantages of origami-inspired construction methods a ...

35 years of photovoltaics: Analysis of the TISO-10-kW solar plant, lessons learnt in safety and performance-Part 1

Christophe Ballif, Alessandro Francesco Aldo Virtuani, Eleonora Annigoni

The TISO-10-kW solar plant, connected to the grid in 1982, is the oldest installation of this kind in Europe. Its history is well documented, and the full set of modules has been tested indoors at regular intervals over the years. After 35 years of operati ...

Hardware-conscious Query Processing in GPU-accelerated Analytical Engines

Anastasia Ailamaki, Periklis Chrysogelos, Panagiotis Sioulas

In order to improve their power efficiency and computational capacity, modern servers are adopting hardware accelerators, especially GPUs. Modern analytical DMBS engines have been highly optimized for multi-core multi-CPU query execution, but lack the nece ...

Glass-free lightweight PV building elements: solutions to minimize weight and maximize durability

Ana Cristina Oliveira Martins

In densely populated countries, little free land is available for the deployment of photovoltaics (PV) in field installations. In addition, 40% of the world's demand for electricity is related to buildings. These facts provide a strong argument for the acc ...
