Limits on neutrino Lorentz violation from multimessenger observations of TXS 0506+056
2019
The observation by the IceCube Collaboration of a high-energy ($E \gtrsim 200$ TeV) neutrino from the direction of the blazar TXS 0506+056 and the coincident observations of enhanced $\gamma$-ray emissions from the same object by MAGIC and other experiments can be used to set stringent constraints on Lorentz violation in the propagation of neutrinos that is linear in the neutrino energy: $\Delta v = - E/M_1$, where $\Delta v$ is the deviation from the velocity of light, and $M_1$ is an unknown high energy scale to be constrained by experiment. Allowing for a difference in neutrino and photon propagation times of $\sim 10$ days, we find that $M_1 \gtrsim 3 \times 10^{16}$ GeV. This improves …
Regularity and h-polynomials of toric ideals of graphs
2020
For all integers 4 ≤ r ≤ d 4 \leq r \leq d , we show that there exists a finite simple graph G = G r , d G= G_{r,d} with toric ideal I G ⊂ R I_G \subset R such that R / I G R/I_G has (Castelnuovo–Mumford) regularity r r and h h -polynomial of degree d d . To achieve this goal, we identify a family of graphs such that the graded Betti numbers of the associated toric ideal agree with its initial ideal, and, furthermore, that this initial ideal has linear quotients. As a corollary, we can recover a result of Hibi, Higashitani, Kimura, and O’Keefe that compares the depth and dimension of toric ideals of graphs.
In the Shadows of a hypergraph: looking for associated primes of powers of squarefree monomial ideals
2018
The aim of this paper is to study the associated primes of powers of square-free monomial ideals. Each square-free monomial ideal corresponds uniquely to a finite simple hypergraph via the cover ideal construction, and vice versa. Let H be a finite simple hypergraph and J(H) the cover ideal of H. We define the shadows of hypergraph, H, described as a collection of smaller hypergraphs related to H under some conditions. We then investigate how the shadows of H preserve information about the associated primes of the powers of J(H). Finally, we apply our findings on shadows to study the persistence property of square-free monomial ideals and construct some examples exhibiting failure of contai…
Le cône diamant symplectique
2009
Resume Si n + est le facteur nilpotent d'une algebre semi-simple g , le cone diamant de g est la description combinatoire d'une base d'un n + module indecomposable naturel. Cette notion a ete introduite par N.J. Wildberger pour sl ( 3 ) , le cone diamant de sl ( n ) est decrit dans Arnal (2006) [2] , celui des algebres semi-simples de rang 2 dans Agrebaoui (2008) [1] . Dans cet article, nous generalisons ces constructions au cas des algebres de Lie sp ( 2 n ) . Les tableaux de Young semi-standards symplectiques ont ete definis par C. De Concini (1979) [4] , ils forment une base de l'algebre de forme de sp ( 2 n ) . Nous introduisons ici la notion de tableaux de Young quasi standards symplec…
Combinatorial Gray codes for classes of pattern avoiding permutations
2007
The past decade has seen a flurry of research into pattern avoiding permutations but little of it is concerned with their exhaustive generation. Many applications call for exhaustive generation of permutations subject to various constraints or imposing a particular generating order. In this paper we present generating algorithms and combinatorial Gray codes for several families of pattern avoiding permutations. Among the families under consideration are those counted by Catalan, Schr\"oder, Pell, even index Fibonacci numbers and the central binomial coefficients. Consequently, this provides Gray codes for $\s_n(\tau)$ for all $\tau\in \s_3$ and the obtained Gray codes have distances 4 and 5.
Effects of confinement and external fields on structure and transport in colloidal dispersions in reduced dimensionality
2012
In this work, we focus on low-dimensional colloidal model systems, via simulation studies and also some complementary experiments, in order to elucidate the interplay between phase behavior, geometric structures and transport properties. In particular, we try to investigate the (nonlinear!) response of these very soft colloidal systems to various perturbations: uniform and uniaxial pressure, laser fields, shear due to moving boundaries and randomly quenched disorder.We study ordering phenomena on surfaces or in monolayers by Monte Carlo computer simulations of binary hard-disk mixtures, the influence of a substrate being modeled by an external potential. Weak external fields allow a control…
Traumets rom : En analyse av Sofi Oksanens Utrenskning
2019
Masteroppgave nordisk språk og litteratur NO500 - Universitetet i Agder 2019 This thesis is an analysis of Sofi Oksanen’s novel Utrenskning [Purge] (2011), with a particular focus on what significance the various rooms convey in the narrative of trauma. Utrenskning relates stories of occupation, violence and abuse through three generations of Estonian women, and how this has led totrauma, fear, and damaged relationships. The study’s primary theory is that the novel interprets aspects of traumatic experiences through a spatial point of view. One distinctive feature of Utrenskning is that almost all of the action plays out within different rooms. The rooms have different functions for the nov…
Nucleation and Collapse of the Superconducting Phase in Type-I Superconducting Films
2005
The phase transition between the intermediate and normal states in type-I superconducting films is investigated using magneto-optical imaging. Magnetic hysteresis with different transition fields for collapse and nucleation of superconducting domains is found. This is accompanied by topological hysteresis characterized by the collapse of circular domains and the appearance of lamellar domains. Magnetic hysteresis is shown to arise from supercooled and superheated states. Domain-shape instability resulting from long-range magnetic interaction accounts well for topological hysteresis. Connection with similar effects in systems with long-range magnetic interactions is emphasized.
Off-Axis Properties of Short Gamma-Ray Bursts
2005
Based on recent models of relativistic jet formation by thermal energy deposition around black hole-torus systems, the relation between the on- and off-axis appearance of short, hard gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) is discussed in terms of energetics, duration, average Lorentz factor, and probability of observation, assuming that the central engines are remnants of binary neutron star or neutron star-black hole mergers. As a consequence of the interaction with the torus matter at the jet basis and the subsequent expansion of the jets into an extremely low-density environment, the collimated ultrarelativistic outflows possess flat core profiles with only little variation of radially-averaged propert…
Fracture processes studied in CRESST
2005
In the early stages of running of the CRESST dark matter search with sapphire crystals as detectors, an unexpectedly high rate of signal pulses appeared. Their origin was finally traced to fracture events in the sapphire due to the very tight clamping of the detectors. During extensive runs the energy and time of each event was recorded, providing large data sets for such phenomena. We believe this is the first time that the energy release in fracture has been accurately measured on a microscopic event-by-event basis. The energy distributions appear to follow a power law, dN/dE proportional to E-beta, similar to the Gutenberg-Richter power law for earthquake magnitudes, and after appropriat…
