The pluralize() function returns the singular form of a plural noun. The singularize() function returns the plural form of a singular noun. The pos parameter (part-of-speech) can be set to NOUN or ADJECTIVE, but only a small number of possessive adjectives inflect (e.g. my → our). The custom dictionary is for user-defined replacements. Accuracy of the algorithms is 96%.

+ABSTRACT
+We observed a nearby millisecond pulsar J2124�3358 with the Hubble Space Telescope in broad far-UV (FUV) and optical filters. The pulsar is detected in both bands with fluxes F (1250-2000 �A) = (2.5 � 0.3) � 10-16 erg s-1 cm-2 and F (3800 - 6000 �A) = (6.4 � 0.4) � 10-17 erg s-1 cm-2, which correspond to luminosities of  5.8 � 1027 and 1.4 � 1027 erg s-1, for d = 410 pc and E(B - V ) = 0.03. The optical-FUV spectrum can be described by a power-law model, f  , with slope  = 0.18� 0.48 for a conservative range of color excess, E(B - V ) = 0.01�0.08. Since a spectral flux rising with frequency is unusual for pulsar magnetospheric emission in this frequency range, it is possible that the spectrum is predominantly magnetospheric (power law with  < 0) in the optical while it is dominated by thermal emission from the neutron star surface in the FUV. For a neutron star radius of 12 km, the surface temperature would be between 0.5 � 105 and 2.1 � 105 K, for  ranging from -1 to 0, E(B - V ) = 0.01�0.08, and d = 340�500 pc. In addition to the pulsar, the FUV images reveal extended emission spatially coincident with the known H bow shock, making PSR J2124�3358 the second pulsar (after PSR J0437-4715) with a bow shock detected in FUV.

+1. INTRODUCTION
+Although many rotation-powered pulsars have been detected in the radio, X-rays and -rays, only about a dozen of them have been detected in the UV-optical-IR (UVOIR) range (see Mignani 2011 for a review). Their optical spectra can be described by a power-law (PL) model, f  , with slopes -1  0. The PL components of their X-ray spectra show a faster decrease with frequency, implying spectral break(s) between the optical and X-rays. This non-thermal emission is thought to be produced by relativistic electrons/positrons in the pulsar magnetosphere. In addition to the PL optical emission, several middle-aged (a few hundred kyr old) pulsars (e.g., PSR B0656+14 and Geminga) exhibit thermal (Rayleigh-Jeans) spectra, f  2, in the far-UV (FUV), originating from the surface of cooling neutron stars (NSs), with brightness temperatures of  (2�8) � 105 K, usually somewhat lower than those inferred from thermal X-ray components (Kargaltsev & Pavlov 2007).
+As the temperature of a passively cooling NS sharply decreases at ages beyond about 1 Myr (Yakovlev & Pethick 2004), surfaces of old pulsars were expected to be very cold. However, our Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observations of the 7 Gyr old millisecond (recycled) pulsar J0437�4715 (J0437 hereafter), the only millisecond pulsar firmly detected in the UVOIR range5, have shown a thermal FUV spectrum emitted from the bulk NS sur-

+face with a temperature of about 2 � 105 K (Kargaltsev et al. 2004; Durant et al. 2012). This result suggests that some heating mechanism(s) operate throughout the life of NSs. To understand the nature of such mechanisms, we initiated an HST program to observe old pulsars in the FUV and optical bands. In this paper we report first results from this program, obtained from observations of PSR J2124�3358 (J2124 hereafter).
+J2124 is a solitary 4.93 ms pulsar with a spin-down energy loss rate E = 6.8 � 1033 erg s-1 and a characteristic age of 3.8 Gyr (Reardon et al. 2016). It was discovered during the Parkes 436 MHz survey of the southern sky (Bailes et al. 1997). J2124 has a parallax distance d = 410+-9700 pc and an accurately measured proper motion, � cos  = -14.14 � 0.04 mas yr-1, � = -50.08�0.09 mas yr-1(Reardon et al. 2016), corresponding to the transverse velocity V = 101.2�0.8 km s-1 (at d = 410 pc).
+X-ray pulsations from J2124 were found by Becker & Tru�mper (1999) in ROSAT observations. XMM-Newton observations of J2124 have shown that a two-component model is required to fit its X-ray spectrum (Zavlin 2006). For example, a PL + H-atmosphere (polar cap) model with   1 -  = 2.1 � 0.7, Tpc = (1.3 � 0.1) � 106 K, and Rpc = (0.74 � 0.09)d410 km provides a reasonable description of the observed spectrum. Alternatively, a two-temperature H-atmosphere model (a hot polar cap "core" surrounded by a colder "rim"), with Tcore = (2.2� 0.5) � 106 K, Rcore = (0.17 � 0.4)d410 km, Trim = (0.5 � 0.1) � 106 K, Rrim = (2.9 � 1.1)d410 km, describes the spectrum equally well (see also Bogdanov et al. 2008).
+J2124 was also detected by Fermi (see the 2PC LAT
+by Durant et al. (2014), likely comes from the millisecond pulsar J0737�3039A, but additional observations are needed to prove it.

+catalog; Abdo et al. 2013). Its -ray spectrum can be characterized by a cut-off PL model with  = 0.78 � 0.13 and cut-off energy Ecut = 1.63 � 0.19 GeV. The corresponding 0.1�100 GeV energy flux is F = (3.68�0.16)� 10-11 erg s-1 cm-2. The best-fit  is rather small for a pulsar (only 14% of pulsars in the 2PC LAT catalog have similar or smaller  values).
+In the optical, J2124 was observed by the ESO Very Large Telescope (VLT) in 2001 using the FOcal Reducer and Spectrograph 1 (FORS1) camera. The pulsar was not detected, with limits of U 26, B 27.7, and V 27.8 (Mignani & Becker 2004).
+J2124 is among the 9 pulsars (including J0437) around which H bow-shock nebulae have been detected (Brownsberger & Romani 2014; Gaensler et al. 2002; see the H image in the bottom-right panel of Figure 1). H bow shocks are created by pulsars moving through the interstellar medium (ISM) at a speed exceeding the ISM sound speed, if there are enough neutral H atoms ahead of the pulsar. They are expected to be accompanied by cometary X-ray pulsar wind nebulae, which are produced by synchrotron radiation of the shocked pulsar wind confined by the ram pressure of oncoming medium (Kargaltsev & Pavlov 2008). A Chandra ACIS observation of J2124 revealed a puzzling faint X-ray nebula which looks like a one-sided, elongated structure projected within the interior of the H bow shock (Chatterjee et al. 2005; Hui & Becker 2006). This X-ray emission extends northwest of the pulsar by  0.5 (see the X-ray image in Figure 2), and its spectrum fits an absorbed PL with photon index  = 2.2 � 0.4 and luminosity L0.5-10 keV  2.4 � 1029d2410 erg s-1.
+In this paper we present an analysis of our HST observations of J2124 in optical and FUV bands (Section 2), resulting in detection of the pulsar in both bands (Section 2.2.1), and discovery of FUV emission from the bow shock (Section 2.2.2). We discuss the implications of our findings in Section 3.
+2. OBSERVATIONS AND RESULTS
+The HST observations of J2124 (program 13783, PI Pavlov; see Table 1) were carried out in three visits that occurred between 2014 November 15 and 2015 August 12. The data were taken with the Solar Blind Channel (SBC) detector of the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS; 34. 6�30. 8 field of view, 0. 034�0. 030 pixel scale) using long-pass filters F125LP and F140LP, and with the Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) Ultraviolet-Visible channel (UVIS; 162 � 162 field of view, 0. 04 pixel scale) in the very broad F475X (wide B) filter. The F125LP, F140LP and F475X filter pivot wavelengths are 1438, 1528, and 4939 �A, respectively. The throughputs of these filters are shown in Figure 3. The pulsar was placed close to the center of the SBC field-of-view for ACS observations and near the corner ( 11 away from the edges) of the UVIS2 chip in WFC3 observation. The chosen UVIS placement ensures that the pulsar is close to the readout, which minimizes the charge transfer efficiency (CTE) losses6. The FUV data were acquired during four orbits. The F125LP images were taken in the

+Earth shadow, where the geocoronal FUV background is greatly reduced. The F140LP filter, which cuts off geocoronal emission shortward of 1400 �A, was used outside the shadow parts of the orbits. The UVIS/F475X exposure was taken during a single orbit. The data were downloaded from the Mikulski Archive for Space Telescopes (MAST7). Each MAST image is flat-field corrected using the PyRAF Multidrizzle task, which produces co-aligned images, corrected for geometrical distortion. We perform aperture photometry using the PHOT and POLYPHOT tasks in IRAF8.
+
+2.1. Astrometry
+To identify the pulsar in the HST images (see Figure 1), we had to check the astrometry of our data. We used stars from the Guide Star Catalog (GSC v.2.3) within the field of view of the WFC3/UVIS to improve the astrometry of the F475X image. Other catalogs with more precise coordinate measurements (e.g., 2MASS, UCAC4) had too few objects in the UVIS field of view. Moreover, most of these objects are bright stars, saturated in the UVIS image, which prevents accurate centroiding and renders them unsuitable for the astrometric correction. Prior to the correction, we found a systematic offset between the GSC v.2.3 and the UVIS stars to be  0. 4 (consistent with the typical HST pointing error9). We then selected 20 stars from the GSC with obvious UVIS counterparts suitable for accurate centroid determination. As these stars did not have proper motion measurements, we could not adjust their coordinates for the epoch of the HST observations. This can explain four outliers (i.e., UVIS stars having 3 times the mean offset from the catalog position), which we interpret as a proper motion effect. These stars were removed from our final sample of reference stars. We then used the IRAF task DAOFIND to find the detector coordinates of the centroids for the remaining 16 reference stars and supplied them to the IRAF task CCMAP10 to calculate new astrometric solution by matching these stars with their GSC counterparts. The refined astrometric solution has standard deviations  = 0. 17 and  = 0. 16 for the sample of 16 stars (at 68% confidence).
+In the SBC image only five sources are seen. Since none of them have counterparts in catalogs, we had to align the F125LP and F140LP images with the UVIS image. Three of the sources, seen in both the UVIS and SBC

+Figure 1. Smoothed HST F125LP (top left) and F140LP (top right) FUV images of the J2124 field (Gaussian smoothing with r = 0. 2 kernel). J2124 position is marked by small white circle. The bow shock (middle region, labeled as "S") and background (two outer regions, labeled as "B") extraction areas are shown in white in the top-right panel, while the pulsar motion is shown with a white arrow in the top-left panel. The SOAR H (bottom right) image (obtained from the SOAR archive and described in detail by Brownsberger & Romani 2014), smoothed with r = 1 kernel, shows the bow shock emission (J2124 position is marked by the white cross). The bow shock extraction region from the top-right panel is overploted. The bow shock is not visible in the F475X (bottom left) image. All images are to the same scale. North and east are shown in the equatorial coordinate system.

+images, were used in the alignment process. However, all three sources appear to be extended in both images (likely, they are background galaxies). This hinders accurate centroid determination leading to an uncertainty11 of  0. 1 in aligning the SBC images with the UVIS image.
+In the astrometry-corrected UVIS image we found a faint source located at  = 21:24:43.841(16) and  = -33:58:45.01(18). These coordinates are offset by  cos  = -0. 01 � 0. 19 and  = -0. 18 � 0. 18 from the pulsar's radio coordinates ( = 21:24:43.841662(24) and  = -33:58:45.1897(5)) expected at the epoch of the UVIS observation (MJD 56976). Since the offset is within the alignment uncertainty, we conclude that this
+
+is a very viable candidate for the pulsar counterpart12.
+2.2. Pulsar Photometry
+To find the optimal aperture for the photometry in SBC/F125LP image, we calculated the signal-to-noise (S/N ) ratio for a set of varying circular apertures centered on the source. The background was estimated from an annular region with rin = 20 and rout = 50 pixels (0. 64 and 1. 6, respectively) centered on the source. We found that the r = 5 pixels (0. 16) aperture provides a maximum S/N  9. This aperture corresponds to about 64% of the encircled energy, according to ACS Instru-
+
+11 Note that CCMAP calculates a "perfect" (no error) astrometric solution from three points (stars). The quoted uncertainty,  0. 1, was obtained by selecting different centroiding methods (brightness peak, weighted brightness center, brightest pixel), and selecting the mean and standard deviation as the true center and astrometric solution uncertainty, respectively.
+
+12 We attempted to improve the astrometry by matching GSC v.2.3 stars with UCAC4 stars within one degree from the pulsar. Using 370 matches for stars with magnitudes J  12, we found offsets 0. 012 � 0. 111 and -0. 001 � 0. 076 along R.A. and Decl., respectively. Since these offsets are statistically insignificant, the GSC�UCAC4 matching does not improve the astrometry and does not change our conclusion.

+We repeated this procedure for the UVIS/F475X im-
+age, where the background was taken from an annulus
+with rin = 8 and rout = 12 pixels (0. 32 and 0. 48, respectively). We found the optimal extraction aperture
+of r = 3 pixels (0. 12), which corresponds to the encir-
+cled energy fraction of  78% and provides S/N  19.
+The net source count rate was calculated as Cs = Ct - Cb(As/Ab), where Ct is the total count rate in the source region of area As, and Cb is the background count rate in the region of area Ab. Correspondingly, the source count rate uncertainty was calculated as Cs = Ct + Cb(As/Ab)2 1/2 t-ex1p/2, where texp is the exposure time. The net count rates for the optimal apertures are
+given in Table 2.
+We then corrected the rates for the finite aperture sizes
+and followed standard photometry procedures to convert count rates to flux densities14. The observed mean flux
+densities for F125LP, F140LP, and F475X are 27 � 4 nJy,
+25 � 11 nJy, and 22 � 2 nJy, respectively. For a plausible

+2.3. Extinction
+To interpret the photometry results, we need to know the interstellar extinction toward J2124. The extinction coefficient A is proportional to the color excess E(B - V ), which, on average, is proportional to the hydrogen column density NH. Zavlin (2006) reported NH = (1�3) � 1020 cm-2 toward J2124 based on fits to the X-ray data. The dispersion measure, DM = 4.6 pc cm-3, leads to a similar NH = 1.4 � 1020 cm-2 (for an assumed 10% degree of ISM ionization). The relation NH = 2.2 � 1021RV E(B - V ) cm-2 (Gorenstein 1975; Gu�ver & O� zel 2009), with the commonly assumed RV = 3.1, corresponds to E(B - V ) = 0.015� 0.045. In our analysis below, we explore an even broader range of color excess, E(B - V ) = 0.01�0.08, to account for the additional uncertainty introduced by the NH-toE(B - V ) conversion. The upper bound on color excess, E(B - V ) = 0.08, in the direction to J2124 (l = 10. 9, b = -45. 4) is based on the Galactic extinction maps by Schlegel et al. (1998). To perform de-reddening, we use the extinction curves adopted from Clayton et al. (2003).

+Figure 4. Example of a single PL fit to the HST photometry results for the J2124 pulsar (the measurement in F140LP is not shown because its band is within the F125LP band). The blue dash-dot line shows the best-fit model spectrum at fixed d = 410 pc, reddened with E(B - V ) = 0.03. The downward arrows show the VLT limits reported by Mignani & Becker (2004). The errors for the F475X data point are comparable to the size of the dot. The black horizontal lines show the filter widths at half maximum.
+The photometric data in only 3 spectral bands (of which one, F140LP, is within the other, F125LP) can be fitted with many spectral models. We first fit the data with an absorbed PL model, f = f0 (/0) � 10-0.4A , which is often used to describe magnetospheric emission (Pavlov et al. 1997). We fit the PL slope  and normalization f0 at 0 = 6.07 � 1014 Hz (corresponding to the pivot wavelength of the F475X filter) for 4 fixed values of color excess: E(B - V ) = [0.01, 0.03, 0.05, 0.08]. An example of such a fit is shown in Figure 4, and the PL parameters for the four E(B - V ) values are given in Figure 5. The slope and normalization values on the E(B - V ) grid are  = [0.20 � 0.02, 0.28 � 0.02, 0.35 � 0.02, 0.46 � 0.02] and f0 = [22.6 � 0.2, 24.1 � 0.3, 25.7 � 0.3, 28.4 � 0.3] nJy (at 6.07 � 1014 Hz), respectively. Their dependences on color excess can be approximated by linear functions in this E(B - V ) range:   0.164+3.71 E(B-V ) and f0  21.6+82.9 E(B-V ) nJy. The corresponding de-reddened fluxes in the FUV and optical bands are F (1250�2000 �A) = [2.6 � 0.3, 2.9 � 0.3, 3.4 � 0.4, 4.4 � 0.5] � 10-16 and F (3800�6000 �A) = [6.6�0.4, 7.1�0.4, 7.6�0.4, 8.4�0.5]�10-17 erg s-1 cm-2.
+We then considered a single thermal (BB) model with a fixed radius R = 12 km, a typical radius of a NS as seen by a distant observer. We fit both the BB temperature T and color excess E(B - V ) for distances d = 340�500 pc. Because the FUV band falls in the Rayleigh-Jeans regime for the obtained temperatures, we can express the final results as T = (3.6 � 0.2) � 106d2410 K and E(B - V ) = 0.51 � 0.01. Since this color excess is much larger than the Galactic value along the line-of-sight and the temperature is implausibly high for the entire NS surface (contradicts to the X-ray data), this model can be ruled out.
+Lastly, we fit a two-component BB+PL model. Given the small number of data points, we fit the BB temperature T and PL normalization f0 on a three-dimensional grid  = [-1, 0], d = [340, 410, 500] pc, and E(B - V ) = [0.01, 0.03, 0.05, 0.08]. The resulting BB temperatures and PL normalizations are plotted in Figure 6. Examples

+
+A bow-shaped structure spatially coincident with the known H bow shock (see Gaensler et al. 2002; Brownsberger & Romani 2014) is clearly visible in the F125LP image shown in Figure 1 (top left). The FUV bow shock appears to be asymmetric, being thicker and brighter east of the pulsar. We measure the apex distance (from the pulsar to the leading edge of the bow shock) to be  2. 5, consistent with the Brownsberger & Romani (2014); Gaensler et al. (2002) measurements in H.
+To extract the bow shock flux, we define the source and two background regions, "inside" and "outside" of the bow shock, shown in Figure 1 (top right). The background regions were selected based on the F125LP image, in which the bow shock was most clearly detected. The regions are close to the bow shock extraction region to mitigate effects from the inhomogeneous detector background while excluding the pulsar. Due to the larger apparent thickness of the east side of the bow shock, more space was left between the bow shock extraction region and the background regions. We take into account the background variations by selecting background regions on both sides of the bow shock: one ?inside? and one ?outside? the bow shock. These regions were used for both F125LP and F140LP flux measurements. A combined background from the two regions was extracted. The net source count rate was calculated similarly to the pulsar, with the area Ab being the combined area of the "outside" and "inside" background regions. The F125LP and F140LP count rates and their uncertainties are given in Table 2. From the measured count rates we calculated the absorbed fluxes in the F125LP and F140LP wavelength ranges: F (1250 - 2000 �A) = (8.1 � 0.4) � 10-15 erg s-1 cm-2 and F (1350 - 2000 �A) = (7.0 � 0.7) � 10-15 erg s-1 cm-2, for a flat f spectrum. The unabsorbed luminosity can be estimated as L(1250 - 2000 �A)  1.9 � 1029 erg s-1, for E(B - V ) = 0.03, and d = 410 pc.
+The bow shock is not detected in the F475X images (see Figure 8). Because of the apparent non-uniformities in the background, which significantly exceed the statistical fluctuations, we chose to measure the upper limits by sampling the background counts from ten different regions in the vicinity of the bow shock and calculat-

+ing the standard deviation from the mean value. The areas of the background regions were equal to that of the bow shock region used for FUV flux measurements. The standard deviation can be considered as a conservative 1 upper limit. The corresponding 3 upper limit on the bow shock flux in the area of 52 arcsec2 is F (3750 - 6000 �A)  2.9 � 10-15 erg s-1 cm-2, for a flat f spectrum and E(B - V ) = 0.03.
+Similar to our analysis of the FUV bow shock around J0437 (Rangelov et al. 2016), we measured the ratio of the count rates in F125LP and F140LP filters for the J2124 bow shock. We obtained a ratio of C125/C140 = 1.3 � 0.2. It is smaller than C125/C140 = 1.63 � 0.08 for the J0437 bow shock, but the associated uncertainty is large.
+3. DISCUSSION
+3.1. Spectrum of PSR J2124-3358
+The obtained photometric measurements can be used to constrain the optical-FUV spectral energy distribution (SED) for J2124 and to look for thermal emission, similar
+
+Optical-UV emission from pulsar J2124-3358
+

+
+to that of J0437. The slope  0.2 inferred from the nonthermal (single
+PL) fit is outside the typical range of -1  0 found for the optical-UV magnetospheric emission seen in other pulsars (Kargaltsev & Pavlov 2007; Mignani 2011). However, we cannot rule out the possibility that the FUVoptical emission of J2124 is entirely magnetospheric, with  > 0, because virtually nothing is known about optical spectra of non-accreting recycled pulsars15. The PL fit implies the V-band luminosity LV  5 � 1026d2410 erg s-1, which corresponds to an optical efficiency16 V  LV /E int  2 � 10-7, similar to the efficiencies of middle-aged pulsars (see Figure 4 in Danilenko et al. 2012).
+A thermal interpretation for combined FUV and optical emission (single BB fit) can be ruled out because it requires a color excess much larger than the Galactic value along this line-of-sight, as well as an implausibly high temperature,  3.6 � 106 K, of the entire NS surface, which would result in an X-ray luminosity much larger than observed.
+Finally, there remains a good possibility that the optical emission is predominantly nonthermal while the FUV emission is largely thermal, similar to what is observed for nearby middle-aged pulsars (Kargaltsev & Pavlov 2007). The optical efficiency in the PL+BB fit is similar to (slightly lower than) that of the single PL fit, because the thermal component contribution is very small in the optical (see Figure 7). It follows from Figure 6 that the NS surface temperature of J2124 is likely in the range T  (0.5�2.1) � 105 K for the considered (conservative) range color excess values, E(B - V ) = 0.01�0.08, and distances d = 340�500 pc. Thus, this interpetation of the J2124 spectrum yields the NS surface temperature similar to that of J0437 (Durant et al. 2012).
+Zavlin (2006) has shown that two components are required to fit the X-ray spectrum of J2124. However, various combinations of thermal and nonthermal components were found to be statistically acceptable (e.g., two-component H-atmosphere model, H-atmosphere + PL, BB+PL; see Section 1). Extrapolation of the thermal components, originating from small, hot areas on the NS surface (presumably polar caps), underpredicts the observed FUV fluxes by several orders of magnitude. Therefore, the X-ray-emitting heated regions cannot be responsible for the observed FUV emission from the J2124. The extrapolated best-fit X-ray PL components of the BB+PL and H-atmosphere + PL models overpredict the FUV-optical fluxes by a large margin, but this is not unusual for middle-aged pulsars, which often show a spectral break between the X-ray and optical bands. The extrapolated -ray spectrum is a few orders of magnitude below the optical-FUV fluxes, which means that the optical-FUV and -ray emission are pro-
+15 Optical emission from the J0437 pulsar is buried under the much brighter emission of the white dwarf companion (Durant et al. 2012).
+16 The observed spin-down energy loss rate, E , needs to be corrected for the Shklovskii effect (Shklovskii 1970). With the corrected period derivative, Pint = 2.06 � 10-20 s s-1, we obtain the intrinsic spin-down power E int = (2.4+-00..69) � 1033 erg s-1 (for the the moment of inertia of 1045 g cm2) and the characteristic pulsar age of 11+-63 Gyr, for d = 410+-9700 pc.
+
+duced by different mechanisms. If the two-component (thermal plus magnetospheric)
+nature of the optical-FUV spectrum of J2124 is confirmed in future observations, J2124 would be the second recycled pulsar, after J0437, with such a high temperature, T  105 K of the NS surface. It would firmly prove that a heating mechanism operates at least in millisecond pulsars and could distinguish between heating models.
+Heating mechanisms that may operate in the interiors of ancient NSs include the dissipation of rotational energy due to interactions between superfluid and normal components of the NS (vortex creep; Alpar et al. 1984; Shibazaki & Lamb 1989), release of strain energy stored by the solid crust due to spin-down deformation (Cheng et al. 1992), rotochemical heating (Reisenegger 1995; Fern�andez & Reisenegger 2005; Petrovich & Reisenegger 2010), rotation-induced deep crustal heating (a variant of rotochemical heating that operates in the crusts of pulsars; Gusakov et al. 2015), and decay or annihilation of dark matter particles, trapped in the NS interiors (de Lavallaz & Fairbairn 2010; Kouvaris & Tinyakov 2010). Among the internal heating mechanisms, the vortex creep, rotochemical heating, and deep crustal heating, all of which are driven by the spin-down of pulsars, are able to account for the high surface temperatures,  105 K, of millisecond pulsars (Gonzalez & Reisenegger 2010; Gusakov et al. 2015). Both J2124 and J0437 are much older than the standard NS cooling time, so they are expected to be in a quasi-stationary state in which any internal heating and photon cooling balance each other (e.g., Reisenegger 1995; Fern�andez & Reisenegger 2005). Thus the effective temperature should be a function of the spin-down parameters,   1/4 for vortex creep,  ( )2/7 for rotochemical heating (assuming modified Urca reactions and neglecting superfluid corrections), and  ( )1/4 for rotation-induced deep crustal heating, where  is the NS rotation rate and  is its time derivative. The spin-down parameters (corrected for the Shklovskii effect) of J2124 are quite similar to those of J0437, so the ratio of their effective temperatures is expected to be TJ2124/TJ0437 = 0.89, 0.95, 0.96, respectively, for the three heating mechanisms. Since, for a radius of 12 km (as assumed here), TJ0437  1.8 � 105 K (inferred from the results of Durant et al. 2012), the temperature expected for J2124 is only slightly lower, TJ2124  (1.6-1.7)�105 K, which is consistent with temperatures estimated in the PL+BB scenario. To confirm this scenario and estimate the temperature more accurately, the J2124 pulsar must be observed with several filters in the UVOIR range, and the distance to the pulsar should be measured more precisely.
+3.2. FUV bow shock
+J2124 is the second pulsar with a bow shock detected in FUV. The first FUV bow shock was discovered by Rangelov et al. (2016) around J0437. These authors tested two spectral models for FUV emission. A PL continuum model, with -3  -1 in the FUV range ( -1 if the PL spectrum extends to the optical range), could correspond to synchrotron radiation of relativistic electrons leaked from the X-ray PWN region and trapped at the forward bow shock. The other model, favored by Rangelov et al. (2016), was the spec-

+
+trum emitted by the ISM matter heated and compressed in a collisionless shock (SHELLS model in Bykov et al. 2013); it was consistent with the measured bow shock fluxes at reasonable values of the shock (pulsar) velocity and upstream ISM density.
+The bow shock of J2124 is dimmer and has a lower S/N , which prevents us from performing a similarly detailed analysis. Nevertheless, we can compare general properties of the J2124 shock with those of the J0437 shock. The FUV bow shocks of both pulsars are spatially coincident with the H bow shocks (see Figure 1). In contrast to J0437, the J2124 bow shock shows a significant asymmetry of its shape with respect to the proper motion direction, which has been attributed to a local ISM density gradient perpendicular to the pulsar's direction of motion (Gaensler et al. 2002). Interestingly, there is also an asymmetry in shock brightness, opposite in the the H and FUV images (compare the top-left and bottom-right panels in Figure 1); the reason of this asymmetry remains unclear. In addition to the asymmetry, the head (apex region) of the FUV-H J2124 bow shock is "flatter" than the head of the J0437 bow shock. This could be caused by anisotropy of the pulsar wind, such that the wind is concentrated in the pulsar's equatorial plane that is nearly perpendicular to the pulsar's velocity (Gaensler et al. 2002; Brownsberger & Romani 2014).
+The FUV luminosity, L(1250�2000 �A)  1.9 � 1029d2410 erg s-1, extracted from the As = 52 arcsec2 area of the J2124 bow shock is a factor of  3.8d2410 higher than the FUV luminosity from the As = 32 arcsec2 area of the J0437 shock. However, the (distance-independent) mean specific intensity, I = L/(4d2As)  1.9 � 10-16 erg cm-2 s-1 arcsec-2 for the J2124 bow shock, is a factor of 2.8 lower than that of the J0437 shock. Such a difference could be partly due to the fact that the width of the extraction region of the J2124 shock was somewhat broader than the actual width of the bright shock area. In addition, the more distant J2124 shock was imaged at larger physical separations in units of length from the apex, where the shock becomes intrinsically dimmer.
+
+Therefore, it is likely that the specific intensities of the J2124 and J0437 shocks are close to each other at the same (physical) separations from the apices. Since in the ISM shock interpretation the emitted shock flux per unit emitting area is crudely proportional to the upstream density and only weakly depends on the pulsar velocity in the relevant range of parameters (see Figure 6 of Rangelov et al. 2016), it means that the ISM densities ahead of the J0437 and J2124 shocks are close to each other.
+For pulsar J0437, Rangelov et al. (2016) used the ratio of the F125LP and F140LP count rates, CF125/CF140 = 1.63�0.08, to estimate the slope of the J0437 spectrum in the FUV range, -3  -1 (see Figure 4 in Rangelov et al. 2016). Similarly, for J2124, we have CF125/CF140 = 1.3 � 0.2, from which we infer -10  -4, i.e., a very steeply decreasing f spectrum. This result, however, suffers from the large uncertainty of the F140LP count rate. Such a steep spectrum cannot be extrapolated to the optical (F475X) band because the extrapolated spectral flux would greatly exceed the upper limit in that filter, which requires a FUV-optical slope  0 (see Figure 9), corresponding to CF125/CF140 1.85. Unless the count rate uncertainties are greatly underestimated due to unaccounted systematic errors, this discrepancy can be considered as an argument for a shock SED more complex than a simple PL.
+In the shocked ISM emission model the ratio of FUV and H fluxes depends on the model parameters. Brownsberger & Romani (2014) report the H photon flux FH = 5.3 � 10-3 photons s-1 cm-2, or energy flux FH = 1.6 � 10-15 erg s-1 cm-2. This corresponds to the ratio of F125LP to H energy fluxes of  6, although this value can be larger (by a factor of up to 2) because we do not know the exact apex areas used by Brownsberger & Romani (2014). For comparison, the flux ratio in the same filters for J0437 is FFUV/FH = 12 � 4 (Figure 6 in Rangelov et al. 2016), i.e., generally consistent with J2124. The non-detection of the J2124 bow shock in the F475X image provides additional constraints on the spectral shape and, possibly, on the emission mechanism. Figure 9 shows a single PL model and a shocked ISM model (normalized to FUV flux measurement) compatible with the 3 F475X upper limit. The shocked ISM model appears to be able to describe the measurements; however, given the complexity of the model and the scarcity of the data, we do not attempt to fit it.
+The detection of the FUV bow shock around two pulsars allows one to assume that such shocks can be detected from many other pulsars, including those from which no H shock is seen because of a lack of neutral hydrogen atoms upstream of the shock. Such observations, currently possible only with the HST, would be very useful for studying the ISM properties and the physics of relativistic shocks.

+ABSTRACT
+We revisit the relation between the stellar surface density, the gas surface density, and the gas-phase metallicity of typical disk galaxies in the local Universe with the SDSS-IV/MaNGA survey, using the star formation rate surface density as an indicator for the gas surface density. We show that these three local parameters form a tight relationship, confirming previous works (e.g., by the PINGS and CALIFA surveys), but with a larger sample. We present a new local leaky-box model, assuming star formation history and chemical evolution is localized except for outflowing materials. We derive closed-form solutions for the evolution of stellar surface density, gas surface density and gas-phase metallicity, and show that these parameters form a tight relation independent of initial gas density and time. We show that, with canonical values of model parameters, this predicted relation match the observed one well. In addition, we briefly describe a pathway to improving the current semi-analytic models of galaxy formation by incorporating the local leaky-box model in the cosmological context, which can potentially explain simultaneously multiple properties of Milky Way-type disk galaxies, such as the size growth and the global stellar mass-gas metallicity relation.

+1. INTRODUCTION
+Over the past few decades, a standard cosmological model of structure formation emerged in a series of major observational and theoretical advances (e.g., White & Rees 1978). However, most of these studies have largely focused on the global properties of galaxies (e.g., Kauffmann et al. 1993; Springel et al. 2005; Somerville & Dav�e 2015).
+Recent integral-field-unit (IFU) spectroscopic surveys from the ground (e.g., Bacon et al. 2001; RosalesOrtega et al. 2010; S�anchez et al. 2012), high-spatial resolution deep imaging surveys with the Hubble Space Telescope (e.g., Scoville et al. 2007; Koekemoer et al. 2011), and high-resolution hydrodynamical simulations (e.g., Vogelsberger et al. 2014; Hopkins et al. 2014) have shifted the focus of the investigations of galaxy formation to small-scale astrophysics and to the relationships between local and global properties of galaxies. In particular, the MaNGA survey (Bundy et al. 2015) in SDSSIV (Blanton et al. 2017) is obtaining IFU spectroscopy for about 10, 000 nearby galaxies and will provide the largest sample of galaxies with kpc-scale resolved optical spectroscopy, enabling systematic investigations of local properties and also their correlations with global parameters. In this paper, using the MaNGA data ob-

+
+tained in the first two years, we investigate the relation between the stellar surface density (), gas surface density (gas), and gas-phase metallicity (Z) in typical disk galaxies, using the star formation rate (SFR) surface density (SFR) as a proxy for gas. In particular, we show that a simple leaky-box model can explain well the observed relation between these parameters and propose a new way of thinking about disk galaxy formation.
+The rest of the paper is organized as follows. In Section 2 and 3, we describe the data we use and the observed relation. We present the local leaky-box model in Section 4. In Section 5, we outline a global semianalytic model for disk galaxy formation. We summarize our results in Section 6. When necessary, we assume the CDM cosmogony, with  = 0.7, m = 0.3, and H0 = 70 km s-1 Mpc-1.
+2. DATA
+The SDSS-IV/MaNGA IFU survey uses the BOSS spectrographs (Smee et al. 2013) on the 2.5-m SDSS telescope (Gunn et al. 2006) at the Apache Point Observatory. Detailed description of the MaNGA surveys are available in Bundy et al. (2015, overview), Drory et al. (2015, instrumentation), Law et al. (2015, 2016, observation, data reduction), and Yan et al. (2016a,b, calibration, survey design). We use the fourth internal data release of the MaNGA survey (MPL-4), which includes 1390 galaxies observed as of June 2015.
+For our purposes, we are interested in typical disk galaxies and we select our sample and use the same data as we did in Barrera-Ballesteros et al. (2016). We select 653 disk galaxies spanning stellar masses between 108.5 M and 1011 M . The data cubes include about 507, 000 star-forming spaxels with spatial resolution ranging from  1.5 kpc to  2.5 kpc. For the parameter measurements, we use the estimates from the

+PIPE3D pipeline (S�anchez et al. 2016). PIPE3D estimated the stellar mass at a given spaxel by fitting the underlying stellar continuum with spectral templates taken from MIUSCAT SSP library (Vazdekis et al. 2012), assuming a Salpeter (1955) IMF. The pipeline also took into account of dust attention (Calzetti 2001). We estimated SFR using the dust attenuation-corrected flux of H. We have also corrected the surface densities for the inclination effect (see Barrera-Ballesteros et al. 2016). For gas-phase metallicity, we use the O3N2 indicator based on the [O III] 5008 and [N II] 6584 ratio (e.g., Marino et al. 2013). For more details regarding the data and the survey, we refer the reader to references above.
+3. THE LOCAL  - SFR - Z RELATION
+Early works (e.g., Edmunds & Pagel 1984; Vila-Costas & Edmunds 1992) have already suggested that there exists a relationship between the local stellar surface density and the gas-phase metallicity. More recently, the PINGS and CALIFA surveys have presented conclusive evidence for such a relationship (Rosales-Ortega et al. 2012; S�anchez et al. 2013). In Barrera-Ballesteros et al. (2016), we presented further evidence with the MaNGA survey. Rosales-Ortega et al. (2012) and S�anchez et al. (2013) further showed that, including the local SFR surface density indicates that the three parameters together form a tight relationship. Our objective is to revisit this relation with a larger sample and then devise a local chemical evolution model for its interpretation.
+In the left panel of Figure 1, we show the  - Z relation (the same as in Figure 2 of Barrera-Ballesteros et al. 2016). In addition, we divide the star-forming regions into three subsamples with the highest, intermediate, and lowest SFR surface density and show their distributions in blue, green, and red contours, respectively. We find that these three parameters, , SFR and Z, form a tight correlation with each other. We therefore
+
+confirm the findings by Rosales-Ortega et al. (2012) with the PINGS survey (Rosales-Ortega et al. 2010), who used luminosity surface density as a proxy for stellar surface density and H equivalent width for specific SFR, and also the recent results with the derived physical parameters from the larger CALIFA survey (S�anchez et al. 2013).
+The gas-phase metallicity is the ratio of the amount of heavy elements (in our case, oxygen) to the total amount of gas in the galaxy, i.e., Z = metal/gas. Both metals and stars are integrated products of the star-formation history, while the SFR is closely correlated to the amount of gas available, through the Kennicutt-Schmidt (K-S) law (Schmidt 1959; Kennicutt 1998). The relations between the three parameters must therefore be closely related to the local star-formation history. In the next section, we present a leaky-box model of the local starformation history and chemical evolution and show that it can naturally explain our observation.
+4. THE LOCAL LEAKY-BOX MODEL
+We assume a disk galaxy grows inside out (e.g., Larson 1976; Matteucci & Francois 1989; Governato et al. 2007; Pilkington et al. 2012; Gibson et al. 2013, among others), and gas falls in onto the outskirts, collapses and triggers star formation.7 In this scenario all processes � star formation and metal production � are localized within the same region except for the outflowing gas. These assumptions enable us to construct a model of the localized star formation history and chemical evolution, which we describe in detail below.
+If gas is accreted onto the galaxy with initial gas surface density 0  gas(t0) at accretion time t0, we can
+7 We note if we start with a disk of gas right from the beginning, our analysis still applies.

+
+(1)
+
+where gas(t) and (t) are the surface densities of gas and long-lived stars at a given time t, respectively. For
+convenience we have defined out(t) to represent the would-be density of the expelled gas should it stay within
+the same area, even though it can be anywhere in the
+circum-/inter-galactic media. If there is no outflow (i.e.,
+
+out = 0), we have a closed-box model. There has been ample evidence showing that star-forming galaxies exhibit ubiquitous outflows (e.g., Lynds & Sandage 1963; Bland & Tully 1988; Heckman et al. 1990; Shapley et al. 2003; Rupke et al. 2005; Martin & Bouch�e 2009; Weiner et al. 2009; Rubin et al. 2014; Zhu et al. 2015, among others). Outflows also help explain the large amount of metals found outside galaxies in the circum-/inter-galactic media (e.g., Bergeron 1986; Steidel et al. 2010; Tumlinson et al. 2011; Stocke et al. 2013; Borthakur et al. 2013; Werk et al. 2014; Bordoloi et al. 2014; Zhu et al. 2014,
+
+4
+
+Zhu et al.
+
+among others). We here therefore assume a leaky-box model.
+Another assumption of our model is that the expelled gas does not fall back onto the galaxy. Theoretical studies have suggested at least a fraction of the expelled gas would be reaccreted (e.g., Oppenheimer et al. 2010; Bower et al. 2012; Marasco et al. 2012; Brook et al. 2012; Henriques et al. 2013; Christensen et al. 2016). If some of the expelled gas falls right back onto the same region, its effect is equivalent to a smaller outflow rate and our model still applies. If some of the expelled gas gets mixed with gas outside and falls back in onto the outskirts, the formalism applies as well since the recycled gas does not invalidate the locality. If a significant fraction of the expelled gas is spread out and falls back over the whole galaxy (e.g., as in the galaxy fountain model, Marasco et al. 2012), it may have a non-negligible effect on the chemical evolution. This last scenario is more complicated than our simple model can yet address and we leave it for future work.
+With the assumptions above, the total surface density defined above stays constant over the cosmic time (= 0). This synthetic density, tot(t), includes the outflowing gas, while the total density within the disk would only include the gas and stars in the disk ((t) + gas(t)). The constancy of this density and the direct connection between the amount of outflowing gas and the instantaneous SFR make it possible to derive a closed-form solution of the full chemical evolution history, as described below.
+The SFR surface density is related to the gas surface density through the K-S law:
+
+SFR
+
+
+
+1
+
+1 -
+
+R
+
+d(t) dt
+
+=
+
+kgas(t) ,
+
+(2)
+
+where R is the "return fraction", i.e., the fraction of the stellar mass formed that is assumed to be instantaneously returned to the gas from short-lived massive stars, and is the effective SF efficiency and k is the K-S index. Note is not unitless and its dimension depends on k. Following convention, we express  and gas in unit of M pc-2, while SFR in unit of M kpc-2. We also expect there is a threshold below which SF cannot continue, and we assume this threshold to be 10 M pc-2 (e.g., Skillman 1987; Schaye 2004; Leroy et al. 2008).
+In global models, the outflow rate is usually assumed to be proportional to the total SFR (e.g., Springel & Hernquist 2003; Dalla Vecchia & Schaye 2008) and we extend this assumption to our local model. The outflow rate is related to the SFR through

+
+,
+
+(3)
+
+where  is the mass loading factor and we assume it is constant (e.g., Springel & Hernquist 2003; Heckman et al. 2015).
+Combining the above equations gives the relation between gas consumption rate, SFR surface density, and gas surface density:
+
+dgas(t) = -(1 +  ) d(t)

+Leaky-box Model for the Local Relation
+

+
+from which we can solve for the full star-formation history, including gas(t), (t), SFR(t), out(t), massweighted age of the stars, etc. In particular, assuming k > 1, gas(t) is given by
+
+1g-ask(t) = 10-k - (1 - R + ) (1 - k)(t - t0) . (6)
+
+We can now derive the chemical evolution of this leaky-
+box model. The metallicity (Z  metal/gas) growth rate is given by
+
+dZ (t) dt
+
+=
+
+1 gas(t)
+
+dmetal(t) dt
+
+-
+

+dmetal(t) - Z(t) dgas(t) , (7)
+
+gas(t)
+
+dt
+
+dt
+
+where metal is the surface density of metals in the gas. If y is the total metal mass yield that a stellar population releases into the ISM normalized by the mass locked up in long-lived stars, the amount of new metals that stay in the gas in the galaxy is given by the total yield minus that locked in stars and expelled along with outflows:
+
+dmetal(t) = y d(t) - Z(t) d(t) + dout(t)

+

+

+
+where we have assumed the metallicity in the outflowing gas is the same as in the ISM at the time.
+The metallicity growth rate is then given by
+
+dZ(t) = dgas(t)
+
+y
+

+

+
+(10)
+
+We have thus derived the local version of the well-known global leaky-box model of chemical evolution (e.g., Tinsley 1980), which has been used to study the global massmetallicity relation (e.g., Zahid et al. 2014; Belfiore et al. 2016). We assume Z0 is 0.1% of the solar value, though as long as it is lower than 1% solar, it has no effect on any of our conclusions.
+Based on the assumptions of the model (Eq. 1 and Eq. 3), we can also calculate 0 as
+
+
+
+0 = gas(t) +
+
+1+ 1-R
+
+(t) ,
+
+(11)
+
+and the metallicity can now be fully determined if we can observe  and gas and if we know  and y. This
+
+ -gas -Z relation is a fundamental relation predicted by the local leaky-box model.
+Now if we assume the K-S law (Eq. 2) holds and we can
+measure SFR, we can estimate the gas density gas(t) with
+
+gas(t) =
+
+SFR(t)
+
+1/k
+.
+
+(12)
+
+In principle, we can constrain the parameters (R, y, , , k) directly using the observation. The model, however, is non-linear and the parameters are degenerate with each other. For example, the yield y and the loading factor  are degenerate in the amplitude, thus a closedbox model (with  = 0) with high yield can also fit the data well. A robust modeling therefore requires careful treatments of the completeness (as a function of the observables). In this first work, we choose to investigate the relation using a fiducial model with values calibrated from the literature. In particular, we first fix the return fraction R to be 0.3 for a Salpeter IMF (e.g., Tinsley 1980; Madau & Dickinson 2014). We use = 0.0004 and k = 2.2 for the K-S law in normal spiral galaxies (e.g., Misiriotis et al. 2006; Bigiel et al. 2008). The K-S law is observed to be non-linear. For normal galaxies, the slope is k  2.2 when total gas surface density is considered, and is smaller (k  1.2) if only molecular gas density is included (e.g., Wong & Blitz 2002; Boissier et al. 2003; Luna et al. 2006). For star-burst galaxies, the K-S law is shallower (e.g., Bigiel et al. 2008). As we are interested in the total gas density for typical star-forming galaxies, we here adopt a linear K-S relation with k = 2.2 and take the amplitude from Bigiel et al. (2008). For the mass loading factor , we set it to be 1, a choice consistent with suggestions by past studies (e.g., Martin 1999; Veilleux et al. 2005; Schaye et al. 2010; Heckman et al. 2015). The right panel of Figure 1 shows the observed relation with these choices. Fixing these three values ( = 0.0004, k = 2.2 and  = 1), we fit the normalization for the metal yield and obtain y  0.003. This yield is for oxygen (16O), and the total metal yield is larger by about a factor of two, ytotal  0.006. The values above are for a Salpeter IMF. For a Chabrier or Kroupa IMF (Chabrier 2003; Kroupa 2001), the oxygen and total metal yield would be about 0.0045 and 0.009, respectively. We plot this best-fit relation with the dashed line. We find it remarkable that, with these canonical values, we obtain a tight  - gas/SFR - Z relation, and the fiducial model matches the observation very well. Our best-fit metal yield is at the lower end of the theoretical estimates (e.g., Henry et al. 2000; Kobayashi et al. 2006; Zahid et al. 2012; Vincenzo et al. 2016). As it is degenerate with the mass loading factor (), if we choose a larger , we will get a larger yield. To take a further look at this local relation, we separate the parent spaxel samples by their galactocentric distance and the stellar mass of their host galaxy. In Figure 2, we plot the local relation for star-forming regions outside (left) and within (right) the effective radius. In Figure 3, we show the relation for low-mass (left) and high-mass (right) galaxies. The dash lines in all panels are the same as in Figure 1. We show the best-fit local relation fits well the data of all the subsamples. We observe
+
+6
+
+Zhu et al.
+
+a weak dependence of the relation on the galactocentric distance and stellar mass: regions at larger radius and in more massive galaxies tend to be distributed above the best-fit relation with higher metallicity. We suspect that this weak dependence may be caused by some of the simple assumptions we made in the model: constant yield and mass loading factor, no recycled gas and metals, and no radial mixing. We leave detailed investigation for future work.
+As similar in the global leaky-box model, given an initial gas surface density 0, the leaky-box model fully describes the local star formation history and chemical evolution. In Figure 4, we show for the fiducial model the predicted evolutionary tracks of metallicity for different 0 as a function of gas,  and log10 0/gas. Each line shows that as time increases, the metallicity and stellar surface density increase, while the gas surface density decreases. We show that the evolution of metallicity, stellar and gas surface density, as well as their relations, are strong functions of the initial gas surface density, while the  - gas - Z relation (bottom) does not depend on either time or 0 and is a fundamental relation predicted by the local leaky-box model.
+Since the local leaky-box model is fully determined by the initial gas surface density 0, for any typical disk galaxy, if we can determine the initial surface density at the accretion time at any given radius, we can connect the small-scale astrophysics with the large-scale cosmological context. We briefly discuss how to expand the local model to a cosmological inside-out growth model in the next section.
+Some of the earlier works have presented similar ideas of localized star formation history and chemical evolution (e.g., Rosales-Ortega et al. 2012; S�anchez et al. 2013; Fu et al. 2013; Ho et al. 2015; Carton et al. 2015; Kudritzki et al. 2015). In particular, Ho et al. (2015) and Carton et al. (2015) extended a global gas regulatory model (Lilly et al. 2013) by ignoring radial mass transfer, which is also an assumption of our model, and showed that it could reproduce the radial metallicity profile for a large fraction of disk galaxies in their samples. They used global parameters (total stellar mass, total SFR) except for the metallicity in their models to reconstruct the observed density/metallicity gradient from resolved IFU observations. Although they did not provide a formalism for the localized star-formation history as we did, they presented new ideas to connect the global properties of the galaxy with the local ones. The model we suggest below outlines a way to integrate these ideas presented in their pioneering works and our local leaky-box model to build a typical disk galaxy analytically in the cosmological context.
+
+5. THE COSMOLOGICAL INSIDE-OUT GROWTH MODEL
+Suppose the dark matter accretion rate of a given dark matter halo (with mass MDM) at a given time (t) is
+
+M DM
+
+
+
+dMDM(t) dt
+
+=
+
+M DM(MDM, t) ,
+
+(13)
+
+which is a function of MDM and t and can be calibrated from simulations (e.g., Wechsler et al. 2002; Correa et
+al. 2015), the gas accretion rate (onto the galaxy) is then
+
+given by
+
+M gas(t)
+
+
+
+dMgas(t) dt
+
+=
+
+ fb
+
+M DM(MDM, t) ,
+
+(14)
+
+where fb is the cosmic ratio of baryon mass to dark matter and  is the fraction of baryons that fall all the way in onto the galaxy.
+We assume the newly-accreted gas only stays on the outskirts and the galaxy grows from inside out. In this case the gas accretion rate is naturally connected to the size growth of the galaxy R (t) and the initial surface density at the galaxy-size radius at the accretion time 0(R):
+
+M gas(t)
+
+=
+
+n
+
+h(R)
+
+2R(t)
+
+dR dt
+
+(15)
+
+= 0(R) 2R(t) R ,
+
+(16)
+
+where n is the volume density when gas starts to form stars and must be closely connected to the SF density threshold for giant molecular clouds, R(t) is the galaxy size at t, h(R) is the initial scale height at R, and 0(R) is the initial total surface density at R.
+If we can calibrate M gas(t) with simulations, we can infer the radial profile of the initial density 0(R) from the size growth of the galaxy R , and vice versa. In particular, if we know the size R(t) and its growth rate R (t) of a typical disk galaxy (e.g., van Dokkum et al. 2013; van der Wel et al. 2014), by applying the local leaky-box model, we can fully derive the radial profiles of gas(r, t), (r, t), SFR(r, t), Z(r, t), and mass-weighted stellar age t (r, t), where r < R(t). IFU surveys such as CALIFA and MaNGA have started to obtain these radial profiles for a large sample of disk galaxies (e.g., S�anchez et al. 2013; P�erez et al. 2013). Galactic surveys, such as RAVE (Steinmetz et al. 2006) and APOGEE (Majewski et al. 2015), have also started to provide chemical gradient measurements of Galactic stars (e.g., Boeche et al. 2013; Hayden et al. 2014; Ness et al. 2016), lending support to an inside-out growth scenario for our own Milky Way. We can also compare the relations among the above parameters and their dependence on global properties should we observe a large sample of systems, such as the stellar mass/SFR (in-)dependence of the  - Z relation observed in our previous paper (e.g., BarreraBallesteros et al. 2016) and the relation between global stellar mass, SFR, and central-region metallicity (e.g., Mannucci et al. 2010; Lara-L�opez et al. 2010; S�anchez et al. 2013; Salim et al. 2014, 2015; Bothwell et al. 2016). We therefore expect a full semi-analytical model can be compared with observations directly, not only for global properties as previous-generation models, but also for local and structural properties revealed by IFU spectroscopic and deep high-spatial resolution imaging surveys. We leave the full modeling for future work.
+
+6. CONCLUSIONS
+With the most recent data from the MaNGA survey, we have confirmed a tight relation between the stellar surface density, gas surface density, and gas-phase metallicity. We introduced a new local leaky-box model, in which star formation and metal production are localized within the same region except for the outflowing gas.
+
+Leaky-box Model for the Local Relation
+
+7
+
+With this model we derived closed-form solutions for the evolution of stellar surface density, gas surface density, and gas-phase metallicity, and showed that they follow a tight relation regardless of initial gas density and time. We further demonstrated that, with canonical values for the model parameters, the closed-form relation predicted by the model matches the observed one well. Our local leaky-box model therefore provided a natural explanation for the relationship between local parameters by the recent IFU observations and suggested a new look at the evolution of typical disk galaxies like our own Milky Way. We briefly introduced how to build a cosmological semianalytical inside-out growth model that can take into account of the small-scale astrophysics by including the localized star formation history.
+We can further refine and improve the local leaky-box model. For example, if we can observe the gas density (e.g., , as in the DiskMass Survey, Martinsson et al. 2013), then we can investigate the local relation directly without the assumption of the Kennicutt-Schmidt law. The current local leaky-box model also neglects several possible effects. We have assumed the parameters ( , k, , y) are all constant. In reality, the K-S index depends on gas (e.g., Bigiel et al. 2008), and the mass loading factor must also depend on SFR (Heckman et al. 2015) and also the local and/or global gravitational potential. It is believed that radial migration of stars and gas happens on some level (e.g., Haywood 2008), though it is yet unclear how important it is in the general evolution of disk galaxies. The expelled gas can also be recycled back to the galaxy (e.g., Oppenheimer et al. 2010; Christensen et al. 2016). Mergers can also affect the distribution of metals (e.g., Rupke et al. 2010). In addition, the model we described does not address the formation and evolution of bulges and bars at the center. It is also a statistical model and neglects structures such as spiral arms. We expect these open issues to be the focuses of future investigations.
+On a larger scale, the outflow component can be connected to quenching due to stellar/supernova feedback. The cosmological inside-out growth model with the localized star formation history is a natural next step of the gas regulatory model used for global evolution of galaxies (e.g., Bouch�e et al. 2010; Lilly et al. 2013). Instead of adding more gas to the total gas reservoir, the insideout growth model simplifies the physical treatments as it adds new gas to the outskirts without interfering with the (local) reservoir on the inside.
+The MaNGA survey is continuing its operation and will provide us with six times more data by the end of the survey. With such a large dataset, we will be able to
+
+investigate not only the local properties with IFU data themselves, but also the correlations between them and global properties and large-scale structures. Together with the rapid development of high-resolution hydrodynamical simulations and new analytical models as the one described in this paper, we are entering a new era of galaxy formation and evolution where we can now connect directly small-scale astrophysics with the cosmological context in both observation and theory.

+Abstract
+A number of proposals with differing predictions (e.g. Borel group cohomology, oriented cobordism, group supercohomology, spin cobordism, etc.) have been made for the classification of symmetry protected topological (SPT) phases. Here we treat various proposals on an equal footing and present rigorous, general results that are independent of which proposal is correct. We do so by formulating a minimalist Generalized Cohomology Hypothesis, which is satisfied by existing proposals and captures essential aspects of SPT classification. From this Hypothesis alone, formulas relating classifications in different dimensions and/or protected by different symmetry groups are derived. Our formalism is expected to work for fermionic as well as bosonic phases, Floquet as well as stationary phases, and spatial as well as on-site symmetries.

+The quest for a complete understanding of phases of matter has been a driving force in condensed matter physics. From the Landau-Ginzburg-Wilson paradigm [1] to topological insulators and superconductors [2�6] to topological orders [7] to symmetry protected topological (SPT) phases [8] to symmetry enriched topological phases [9�12], we have witnessed an infusion of ideas from topology into this centuryold field. SPT phases are a relatively simple class of non-symmetry-breaking, gapped quantum phases and have been a subject of intense investigation in recent years [13]. As an interacting generalization of topological insulators and superconductors and intimate partner of topological orders [14], they exhibit such exotic properties as the existence of gapless edge modes, and harbor broad applications. They have also been increasingly integrated into other novel concepts such as many-body localization and Floquet phases [15�29].
+Despite tremendous progress [30�53], a complete classification of SPT phases remains elusive. This is especially true when fermions, high (e.g.  3) spatial dimensions, or continuous symmetry groups are involved. A number of proposals have been made for the general classification of SPT phases: the Borel group cohomology proposal [33], the oriented cobordism proposal [35], Freed's proposal [38, 39], and Kitaev's proposal [40, 42] in the bosonic case; and the group supercohomology proposal [34], the spin cobordism proposal [36], Freed's proposal [38, 39], and Kitaev's proposal [42, 43] in the fermionic case. These proposals give differing predictions in certain dimensions for certain symmetry groups, and while more careful analysis [45�53] has uncovered previously overlooked phases and brought us closer than ever to our destination, we believe that we can do much more.
+In this paper, we will take a novel, minimalist approach to the classification problem of SPT phases, by appealing to the following principle of Mark Twain's [54]:
+Distance lends enchantment to the view.
+In this spirit, we will not commit ourselves to any particular construction of SPT phases, specialize to specific dimensions or symmetry groups, or investigate the completeness of any of the proposals above. Instead, we will put various proposals under one umbrella and present results that are independent of which proposal is correct. This will begin with the formulation of a hypothesis, we dub the Generalized Cohomology Hypothesis, that encapsulates essential attributes of SPT classification. These attributes will be shown to be possessed by various existing proposals and argued, on physical grounds, to be possessed by the unknown complete classification should it differ from existing ones. The results we present will be rigorously derived from this Hypothesis alone. Because we are taking a "meta" approach, we will not be able to produce the exact classification in a given dimension protected by a given symmetry group. We will be able, however, to relate classifications in different dimensions and/or protected by different symmetry groups. Such relations will be interpreted physically � this may require additional physical input, which we will keep to a minimum and state explicitly. A major advantage of this formalism is the universality of our results, which, as we said, are not specific to any particular construction.
+What will enable us to relate different dimensions and symmetry groups is ultimately the fact that the Hypothesis is a statement about all dimensions and all symmetry groups simultaneously. Furthermore, due to a certain "symmetry" the Hypothesis carries, the relations we derive will hold in arbitrarily high dimensions. Finally, the Hypothesis is supposed to apply to fermionic phases as well as bosonic phases. Thus our formalism is not only independent of construction, but also independent of physical dimension and particle content, that is, bosons vs. fermions.
+More specifically, the Hypothesis will be based on a prototype offered by Kitaev [40, 42, 43]. We will add a couple of new ingredients (additivity and functoriality; see below) and formulate the ideas in a language amenable to rigorous treatment. While the Hypothesis is informed by Refs. [40, 42, 43], our philosophy is fundamentally different. The goal of Refs. [40, 42, 43] was to classify SPT phases in  3 dimensions by incorporating into the Hypothesis current understanding of the classification of invertible topological orders. The goal of this paper is to make rigorous, maximally general statements about the classification of SPT phases by refraining from incorporating such additional data. The approach of Refs. [40, 42, 43] was concrete, whereas ours is minimalist.
+Here is a preview of some of the fruits of this minimalist undertaking.
+3
+
+(i) We will be able to relate the original definition of SPT phases [8, 31] to the one currently being developed by Refs. [35, 38, 39, 41, 42, 55], which is in terms of invertibility of phases and uniqueness of ground state on arbitrary spatial slices. According to the latter definition, the classification of SPT phases can be nontrivial even without symmetry. (For instance, the integer quantum Hall state represents an SPT phase in that sense.) We will show that SPT phases in the old sense are not only a subset, but in fact a direct summand1, of SPT phases in the new sense. More precisely,
+
+d-dimensional G-
+
+d-dimensional G-
+
+d-dimensional
+
+protected SPT phases = protected SPT phases  invertible topo- ,
+
+(1)
+
+in the new sense
+
+in the old sense
+
+logical orders
+
+where invertible topological orders are synonymous with SPT phases (in the new sense) without symmetry, and d and G are arbitrary. We will also see the two definitions are nicely captured by two natural variants of a mathematical structure that we will introduce. These claims depend only on the Hypothesis, and are expounded upon in Sec. 6.1.
+
+(ii) We will be able to relate the classification of translationally invariant SPT phases to the classification
+
+of usual SPT phases. (From now on, SPT phases will mean SPT phases in the new sense.) The
+
+former are protected by a discrete spatial translational symmetry Z as well as an internal symmetry
+
+G, whereas the latter are protected by G alone. It is conceivable that translational symmetry will
+
+refine the classification, but it is not clear whether every usual SPT phase will have a translationally
+
+invariant representative, whether every usual SPT phase will split into multiple phases, or whether
+
+all usual SPT phases will split into the same number of phases. To all three questions, we will give
+
+affirmative answers. More precisely, we will prove that there is a decomposition
+
+
+
+
+
+d-dimensional
+
+(d-1)-dimensional d-dimensional
+
+(Z � G)-protected SPT phases
+
+= Gph-apsreostected
+
+SPT 
+
+G-protected SPT phases
+
+,
+
+(2)
+
+such that forgetting the translational symmetry corresponds to projecting from the left-hand side onto the second direct summand in the right-hand side. These claims depend only on the Hypothesis and the belief that it applies to translational symmetries as well as internal symmetries for a suitable definition of translationally invariant SPT phases. These are the subject of Sec. 6.2.
+
+(iii) We will go on to argue, through a field-theoretic construction in App. B, that the inclusion of the first summand in the right-hand side into the left-hand side corresponds to a layering construction, where one produces a d-dimensional translationally invariant phase by stacking identical copies of a usual (d - 1)-dimensional phase.
+
+(iv) We will generalize the relation above to d-dimensional SPT phases protected by discrete translation
+
+in n directions. We will see a hierarchy of lower-dimensional classifications enter the decomposition,
+
+with
+
+n k
+
+direct summands in dimension d - k. (The relation above corresponds to n = 1.) This is
+
+discussed in Sec. 6.3.
+
+(v) We will reinterpret the Z above as discrete temporal translational symmetry. Accordingly, there
+
+will be a decomposition
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+d-dimensional G- (d - 1)-dimensional G- d-dimensional G- 
+
+protected Floquet SPT phases
+
+= pSrPoTtecptheadse(sstationary)  parryo)teScPteTd p(shtaasteiosn- .
+
+(3)
+
+We will give physical meaning to the projection maps onto the two direct summands in the righthand side, in terms of pumping and Floquet eigenstates, respectively. What the relation tells us is
+
+1The direct sum is with respect to an abelian group structure of classification that we will describe later. Note that we could have used the direct product notation � for groups, but the direct sum notation  is more common for abelian groups in the mathematical literature.
+4
+
+that a d-dimensional Floquet SPT phase can pump any (d - 1)-dimensional stationary SPT phase we want, that it can represent any d-dimensional (stationary) SPT phase we want, and that it is completely determined by these two pieces of information. Except for the pumping interpretation, these claims depend only on the Hypothesis and the belief that it applies to discrete temporal translational symmetry as well as internal symmetries for a suitable definition of Floquet SPT phases. These are discussed in Sec. 6.4.
+(vi) We will show that a similar decomposition exists for semidirect products Z G, and more generally G1 G2, whose applications to space group-protected SPT phases will be discussed in Sec. 6.5.
+(vii) An enlargement of symmetry group can not only refine a classification but also eliminate certain phases, for a priori there may be obstructions to lifting an action of a smaller symmetry group over to a larger symmetry group. In Sec. 6.6, we will give a sufficient condition for the absence of such obstructions. More specifically, given G  G, if one can find another subgroup G  G such that G G = G, including the special case of direct product, then every G -protected SPT phase will be representable by some G-protected SPT phase. This claim follows immediately from the Hypothesis.
+(viii) There are other results derived from the Hypothesis that we would rather defer to a subsequent paper due to our incomplete understanding. They are summarized in Sec. 7.
+This paper is organized as follows. In Sec. 2, we establish conventions, define SPT phases, and comment on two elementary properties of SPT phases, additivity and functoriality, that will play a role in the Hypothesis. In Sec. 3, we introduce necessary mathematical concepts and formulate the Generalized Cohomology Hypothesis. In Sec. 4, we justify the Hypothesis on physical grounds. In Sec. 5, we present mathematical forms of the results we derived from the Hypothesis. In Sec. 6, we explore physical implications of these results. In Sec. 7, we summarize the paper, advertise further preliminary results, and suggest future directions.
+A variety of topics are covered in the appendices. In App. A, we explain in more detail how existing proposals for the classification of SPT phases satisfy the Hypothesis. In App. B, we propose a fieldtheoretic construction to corroborate the weak-index interpretation in Sec. 6.2. In App. C, we present an equivalent but more succinct version of the Hypothesis using the terminology of category theory. In App. D, we explicitly show that the group cohomology construction [33] is additive and functorial. In App. E, we supply proofs to various lemmas and propositions in the paper. App. F is a review of notions in algebraic topology, category theory, and generalized cohomology theories.

+2. Generalities
+2.1. Particle content, dimensionality, and symmetry action
+Locality is defined differently for fermionic systems than for bosonic (i.e. spin) systems [56]. For this reason, classifications of bosonic phases and fermionic phases are traditionally done separately. While we will follow that tradition, our formalism works identically in the two cases. Therefore, we can omit the qualifiers "fermionic" and "bosonic" and simply speak of "SPT phases."
+By the dimension of a physical system, we always mean the spatial dimension. When it comes to mathematical construction, it is convenient to allow dimensions to be negative. If a purely mathematical result in this paper appears to contain a free variable d, then it should be understood that this result is
+5
+
+valid for all d  Z. If a physical result appears to contain a free variable d, then it should be understood that this result is valid for all d  Z for which all dimensions involved are non-negative.
+For simplicity, we assume all symmetry actions to be linear unitary. A generalization to antilinear antiunitary actions is possible (see Sec. 7) but beyond the purview of this paper.
+We allow all topological groups satisfying the basic technical conditions in App. F.3 to be symmetry groups. Thus, a symmetry group can be finite or infinite, and discrete or non-discrete (also called "continuous"). In the non-discrete case, one must define what it means for a symmetry group G to act on a Hilbert space H , that is whether we want a representation  : G  U (H ) to be continuous, measurable2, or something else, where U (H ) denotes the space of unitary operators on H [33]. Conceivably, the Hypothesis can hold for one definition but fail for another, so some care is needed.
+It is possible that the validity of the Hypothesis requires further restrictions on symmetry groups and symmetry actions, such as compactness and on-siteness, but there is a growing body of evidence [15�17, 30, 31, 57�65] against the necessity of such restrictions. It appears that discrete temporal translation [15� 17], discrete spatial translation [30, 31], and other space group actions [57�65] may well fit into the same framework as on-site symmetry actions. In particular, Refs. [64, 65] maintained that the classification of d-dimensional G-protected topological phases is the same whether G is spatial or internal, provided that orientation-reversing symmetry operations (e.g. parity) are treated antiunitarily. In any case, on-site actions by finite groups are in the safe zone. We emphasize that the derivation of the mathematical results in Sec. 5 from the Hypothesis is independent of these considerations.
+2.2. Mathematical notation and conventions We denote bijections and homeomorphisms by , isomorphisms of algebraic structures by =, homo-
+topy or pointed homotopy by , and homotopy equivalences or pointed homotopy equivalences by . We denote the one-point set, the unit interval (i.e. [0, 1]), the boundary of the unit interval (i.e. {0, 1}), the n-sphere, the n-disk, and the boundary of the n-disk by pt, I, I, Sn, Dn, and Dn, respectively.
+Unless stated otherwise, "map" always means continuous map, "group" always means topological group, and "homomorphism" between groups always means continuous homomorphism. For experts, the technical conventions in App. F.3 are observed throughout, except in Apps. F.1-F.3.
+2.3. Definition of SPT phases
+2.3.1. Old definition of SPT phases Traditionally, the definition of SPT phases goes as follows [8, 31]. First, one defines a trivial system
+to be a local, gapped system whose unique ground state is a product state. Then, one defines a shortrange entangled (SRE) system to be a local, gapped3 system that can be deformed to a trivial one via local, gapped systems. Finally, one defines a G-protected SPT phase to be an equivalence class of Gsymmetric, non-symmetry-breaking4 SRE systems with respect to the following equivalence relation: two such systems are equivalent if they can be deformed into each other via G-symmetric, non-symmetrybreaking SRE systems.
+2.3.2. New definition of SPT phases Explicit as the definition above is, we shall adopt a different definition that will turn out to be
+extremely convenient for our formalism, at the expense of including more phases. The set of SPT phases in the old sense will be shown to sit elegantly inside the set of SPT phases in the new sense, undisturbed, and they can be readily recovered. The definition spelled out below is based on the ideas in Refs. [35, 38, 39, 41, 42, 55].
+To begin, let us assume that the terms "system," "local," "gapped," "G-symmetric," "non-symmetrybreaking," and "deformation" have been defined. Given two arbitrary systems a and b of the same
+2The measurability of (d + 1)-cochains as postulated in Ref. [33] reduces to the measurability of  when d = 0. 3We do not consider a system with accidental degeneracy in the thermodynamic limit to be gapped. 4Note that "G-symmetric" is an adjective qualifying Hamiltonians while "non-symmetry-breaking" is an adjective qualifying ground states.

Each deformation class, shown as a patch here, is called a G-protected topological phase. Each invertible (respectively non-invertible) class, shown as a gray or black (respectively pink) patch, is called an SPT (respectively SET) phase. The identity class, shown as a black patch, is called the trivial SPT phase. Dashed circles are meant to indicate, by forgetting the symmetry, that more systems will be allowed and that distinct phases can become one.
+
+dimension, we write a + b (no commutativity implied; this is just a notation) for the composite system formed by stacking b on top of a. However the aforementioned terms may be defined, it seems reasonable to demand the following:
+(i) a + b is well-defined.
+(ii) If both a and b are local, gapped, G-symmetric, or non-symmetry-breaking, then a + b is also local, gapped, G-symmetric, or non-symmetry-breaking, respectively.
+(iii) A deformation of either a or b also constitutes a legitimate deformation of a + b.
+We will speak of deformation class, which, as usual, is an equivalence class of systems with respect to the equivalence relation defined by deformation (possibly subject to constraints, as discussed in the next paragraph)5.
+Now, let G be a symmetry group and d be a non-negative integer. Consider the set Md(G) of deformation classes of d-dimensional, local, gapped, G-symmetric, non-symmetry-breaking systems. We have seen that there is a binary operation on the set of such systems, given by stacking, which descends to a binary operation on Md(G), owing to property (iii). We define the trivial d-dimensional G-protected SPT phase to be the identity of Md(G) with respect to the said binary operation. We define a ddimensional G-protected SPT phase to be an invertible element of Md(G). We define a d-dimensional G-protected symmetry enriched topological (SET) phase to be a non-invertible element of Md(G). In general, we call an element of Md(G) a d-dimensional G-protected topological phase. An illustration of these concepts appears in Fig. 1.
+In mathematical jargon, SPT phases are thus the group of invertible elements of the monoid Md(G) of d-dimensional G-protected topological phases. We will see later that Md(G) is commutative. This means that the d-dimensional G-protected SPT phases form not just a group, but an abelian group. This is elaborated upon in Sec. 2.4.1.
+
+5If a deformation is defined to be a path in a space of systems that comes with a topology, then a deformation class is nothing but a path component of the space.

+Figure 2: (color online). Schematic illustration of the structure of the space of d-dimensional local, gapped systems. Each deformation class, shown as a patch here, is called a topological order. Each invertible (respectively non-invertible) class, shown as a gray or black (respectively pink) patch, is called an invertible (respectively intrinsic) topological order. The identity class, shown as a black patch, is called the trivial topological order, which is in particular invertible. A system is called SRE (respectively LRE) if it belongs to an invertible (respectively intrinsic) topological order.
+Note that we have made no mention of SRE systems so far. Instead, SPT and SET phases naturally fall out of the binary operation given by stacking. The uniqueness of identity and inverses and the abelian group structure of SPT phases come about for free. This is in line with the minimalism we are after and is we think the beauty of the definition.
+Let us introduce special names for the special case of trivial symmetry group G = 0. The trivial SPT phase in this case can be called the trivial topological order ; an SPT phase, an invertible topological order ; an SET phase, an intrinsic topological order ; and any element of Md(0), a topological order. We may call a system short-range entangled (SRE) if it represents an invertible topological order, and long-range entangled (LRE) otherwise. An illustration of these concepts appears in Fig. 2.
+2.3.3. Comparison between old and new definitions of SPT phases To make contact with the old definition of SPT phases [8, 31], we note that all trivial systems in the
+old sense represent the identity element of Md(0), where 0 denotes the trivial group. Hence, SRE systems in the old sense are precisely those SRE systems in our sense that happen to lie in this identity class. Similarly, SPT phases in the old sense are precisely those SPT phases in our sense that, by forgetting the symmetry, represent the said identity class. This shows that the SPT phases in the old sense are a subset of the SPT phases in our sense. One of our results in this paper is that the former form a subgroup, in fact a direct summand, of the latter. These are illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2.
+What is also clear is that the classification of SPT phases (according to our definition; same below) can be nontrivial even for the trivial symmetry group. This amounts to saying that there can exist nontrivial invertible topological orders, or that the set of SRE systems are partitioned into more than one deformation classes in the absence of symmetry. Examples of systems that represent nontrivial invertible topological orders are given in Table 1. While this may seem to contradict the original idea [8] of symmetry protection, it is the new notion of short-range entanglement not the old one that is closely related and potentially equivalent to the condition of unique ground state on spatial slices of arbitrary topology, and in two dimensions, the condition of no nontrivial anyonic excitations [13, 35, 38, 39, 41, 42, 55], both of which are more readily verifiable, numerically and experimentally, than the deformability to product states.

+2.4. Elementary properties of SPT phases
+In this subsection, we discuss two elementary properties of the classification of SPT phases that will play a role in the Hypothesis. These follow essentially from the definition and should be features of any classification proposal.
+2.4.1. Additivity Additivity says that the d-dimensional G-protected SPT phases form a discrete6 abelian group with
+respect to stacking. To see this, we first note that stacking of d-dimensional G-protected topological phases is tautologically associative (Fig. 3). We then note that any G-symmetric system with a product state as the unique gapped ground state, which always exists, represents an identity with respect to stacking. Since SPT phases are invertible by definition, a discrete group structure is defined.
+This leaves commutativity. We recall, in order to compare systems defined on different Hilbert spaces, that one would usually allow for "embedding" of smaller Hilbert spaces into larger Hilbert spaces7. This is known as an isometry [30, 31, 72, 73]. Given two Hilbert spaces H1 and H2 � these are supposed to be associated to individual sites of two different systems � the Hilbert spaces H1  H2 and H2  H1 are isomorphic. Embedding them into (H1  H2)  (H2  H1) = C2  H1  H2, we can then interpolate between the two in a canonical, symmetry-preserving fashion. Therefore, the resulting phase is independent of the order of stacking.
+Note that the above also shows that the d-dimensional G-protected topological phases form a discrete commutative monoid Md(G).
+(Some definitions of SPT phases admit the coexistence of multiple trivial phases [61, 74], but this can always be salvaged by declaring the identity under stacking to be the true trivial phase, which is unique by elementary group theory.)
+2.4.2. Functoriality
+Functoriality says that every homomorphism  : G  G between any symmetry groups G and G induces a homomorphism  from the discrete abelian group of d-dimensional G-protected SPT phases to the discrete abelian group of d-dimensional G -protected SPT phases. Note that the direction of mapping is reversed. Implicit here is the assumption that the coherence relation (  ) =    be satisfied for all composable homomorphisms  and .
+Let us first understand this in the special case where G is a subgroup of G and  is the inclusion. A d-dimensional G-protected SPT phase is represented by a d-dimensional, local, gapped, G-symmetric, non-symmetry-breaking system. By forgetting all symmetry operations outside the subgroup G , we can view this same system as a representative of a d-dimensional G -protected SPT phase. Since this applies to paths of systems as well, we get a well-defined map from the set of d-dimensional G-protected SPT phases to the set of d-dimensional G -protected SPT phases. This is the induced map . It is easy to check that  preserves discrete abelian group structure. Moreover, such maps can be composed. For instance, we can further forget G entirely to obtain a map into the set of d-dimensional invertible
+
+6Recall that "group" in this paper means "topological group." This is why we need the adjective "discrete" here, as the
+abelian group of SPT phases is not endowed with a topology. 7More precisely, we want to "embed" representations of the symmetry group rather than Hilbert spaces.

Given G  G, a representative of a d-dimensional G-protected SPT phase can also be viewed as a representative of a d-dimensional G -protected SPT phase, which in turn can be viewed as a representative of a d-dimensional invertible topological order, by forgetting first the symmetry operations outside G and then G itself. This defines a map from the set of d-dimensional G-protected SPT phases to the discrete abelian group of d-dimensional G -protected SPT phases, and then to the set of d-dimensional invertible topological orders.
+
+topological orders. Forgetting symmetry operations in two steps is clearly equivalent to forgetting them all at once, which is the origin of the coherence relation (  ) =   . These are illustrated in Fig. 4.
+The general case where  : G  G is an arbitrary homomorphism only requires a small modification. A d-dimensional G-protected SPT phase is represented by a triple H , , H^ , where H^ is a Hamiltonian
+and  : G  U (H ) is a representation of G on some Hilbert space H . By precomposing , we obtain a representation    : G - G - U (H ) of G . Then the triple H ,   , H^ represents a d-dimensional G -protected SPT phase. This defines the map .
+Note that the same argument also shows that every homomorphism  : G  G between any symmetry groups G and G induces a homomorphism  : Md(G)  Md(G ) between the monoids of d-dimensional G- and G -protected topological phases.
+3. The Generalized Cohomology Hypothesis
+In this section, we will state the Generalized Cohomology Hypothesis, which is the foundation of our formalism. Intuitively, the Hypothesis says that the classifications of SPT phases in different dimensions protected by different symmetry groups are intertwined in some intricate fashion, so that all information can be encoded into what is called an -spectrum. And just like proteins are produced from genes through the processes of transcription and translation, the classifications of d-dimensional G-protected SPT phases for varying d and G can be produced from the -spectrum through the classifying space construction and homotopy theory.
+An -spectrum is by definition a sequence of pointed topological spaces Fd indexed by integers d  Z together with pointed homotopy equivalences Fd Fd+1, where Fd+1 is the loop space of Fd+1 (see App. F.1). As discussed in Sec. 4.6, Fd is believed to be the space of d-dimensional SRE states, and the pointed homotopy equivalences Fd Fd+1 can be given physical interpretations as well. Note that
+10
+
+shifting d turns an -spectrum into another -spectrum. This is responsible for the validity of the results in Secs. 5 and 6 in arbitrarily high dimensions.
+Definition 3.1. An (unreduced) generalized cohomology theory h has an -spectrum (Fd)dZ as its data. Given an integer d, it assigns to each topological space X the discrete abelian group hd(X) := [X, Fd], i.e. the homotopy classes of maps from X to Fd.8
+Definition 3.2. A reduced generalized cohomology theory h~ has an -spectrum (Fd)dZ as its data. Given an integer d, it assigns to each pointed topological space X the discrete abelian group h~d(X) := X, Fd , i.e. the homotopy classes of pointed maps from X to Fd.
+Different choices of -spectrum can give wildly different generalized cohomology groups hd(X)'s and h~d(X)'s. This is the degree of freedom that will allow us to encompass various inequivalent classification proposals. Furthermore, unreduced and reduced theories come hand in hand and can be recovered from each other.
+The discrete abelian group structure on hd(X) is defined via the bijection hd(X) := [X, Fd]  [X, Fd+1]. Given two classes [c1] , [c2]  hd(X) represented by maps c1, c2 : X  Fd+1, we define [c1] + [c2] by concatenating the loops c1(x) and c2(x) for each x. Further replacing Fd+1 by 2Fd+2, one can show that [c1] + [c2] = [c2] + [c1]. The reduced case is similar.
+hd is also functorial, in that every map f : X  Y induces a homomorphism f  : hd(Y )  hd(X) so that (f  g) = g  f  for all composable f and g. Given a class [c]  hd(Y ) represented by a map c : Y  Fd, we define f  ([c]) by precomposing f with c. The reduced case is similar.
+Before stating the Generalized Cohomology Hypothesis, we recall there is a so-called classifying space functor B (see App. F.4). It assigns a pointed topological space BG to each group G, and a pointed map B : BG  BG to each homomorphism  : G  G. As a result, the composition hd(B-) of B and hd assigns a discrete abelian group hd(BG) to each group G, and a homomorphism  : hd(BG)  hd(BG ) to each homomorphism  : G  G. The reduced case is similar. We are now ready to state the
+Generalized Cohomology Hypothesis. There exists an (unreduced) generalized cohomology theory h such that, given any dimension d  0 and symmetry group G, hd(BG) classifies d-dimensional G-protected SPT phases (see Sec. 2.3.2), with its discrete abelian group structure corresponding to stacking (see Sec. 2.4.1) and its functorial structure corresponding to replacing symmetry groups (see Sec. 2.4.2).
+4. Justification of the Hypothesis
+Before taking off from the Hypothesis, we must explain how we arrived at it. We devote this section to the justification of the Hypothesis.
+4.1. Additivitiy and functoriality We have seen that every generalized cohomology theory is additive and functorial. This is encouraging,
+as additivity and functoriality are basic to the classification of SPT phases and should be features of any classification proposal.
+8This differs from the standard definition in two ways, even when the Brown representability theorem is assumed: first, the representing -spectrum is part of the data; and second, we are not considering pairs of spaces. These differences, however, are completely innocuous.

+4.2. Ubiquity of generalized cohomology theories
+To give a feeling of the ubiquity of generalized cohomology theories, we have listed some classic examples in Table 2. Note that the first entry already hosts infinitely many possibilities, corresponding to different A's. Other entries have obvious generalizations to other structure groups. Furthermore, one can synthesize new generalized cohomology theories from old ones in at least two ways. The first way is to take products of -spectra degree-wise: given (Fd)dZ and (Fd )dZ, we define
+
+Fd := Fd � Fd ,
+
+(4)
+
+so that
+
+[X, Fd] = [X, Fd]  [X, Fd ] ,
+
+(5)
+
+X, Fd = X, Fd  X, Fd .
+
+(6)
+
+The second way is to take the smash product of the corresponding CW-spectra of two given -spectra [75].
+It therefore would not be surprising if SPT phases were classified by a generalized cohomology theory of some sort. Better yet, the above operations on spectra could allow one to improve approximate classifications upon, for instance, the discovery of a class of systems exhibiting new physical effects9.
+
+4.3. Existing proposals as special cases
+One of the main motivations for the Hypothesis is the fact that it is satisfied by various existing proposals for the classification of SPT phases [40, 42, 43]. These include the Borel group cohomology proposal [33], the oriented cobordism proposal [35], and Kitaev's proposal [40, 42] in the bosonic case; and the group supercohomology proposal [34], the spin cobordism proposal [36], and Kitaev's proposal [42, 43] in the fermionic case. (Freed's proposals appear to be more nuanced; see the original papers [38, 39].) Their spectra are summarized in Table 3. We have checked, for finite symmetry groups, that the additive and functorial structures of the Borel group cohomology proposal indeed correspond to stacking phases and replacing symmetry groups, respectively; see App. D. The same can only be done to a lesser extent for non-finite groups or for the other proposals, where explicit lattice models are unavailable. Exactly how these proposals fit into our framework will be expounded upon in App. A.
+The first entry in Table 3 may look odd, since Borel group cohomology as defined in Ref. [33] is an algebraic structure not a topological one. The equivalence between the two relies on the well-known natural isomorphism Hgdr+ou1p (G; A) = Hd+1 (BG; A) for any coefficient A and discrete group G [77]. See App. A.1 for detail.

+4.4. Rationale behind classifying spaces
+The use of classifying spaces BG signifies a gauge-theory nature of SPT phases. More precisely, it suggests, for the purpose of classifying G-protected SPT phases, that it suffices to look at gauge theories with structure group G even though most systems are not gauge theories. An element [c] of hd (BG) can be thought of as a generalized topological term, or more precisely, a characteristic class [79].
+Let us elucidate this with a familiar example: the first Chern class c1, which assigns an element c1() of H2(X; Z) to each U (1)-bundle  over X. In a physical context, X would be a Brillouin zone,  would be a family of Bloch wave functions over it, and c1() would be expressed as Berry's curvature [80]. In general, however, X can vary, and c1 has an important property called naturality: if  is a bundle over X, f : Y  X is a map, and f  is the pull-back bundle over Y , then c1 (f ) = f  (c1()), where the f  in the right-hand side is the induced homomorphism f  : H2 (Y ; Z)  H2 (X; Z). Thus, the first Chern class of a pull-back bundle is determined by that of the original bundle. Since every U (1)-bundle over any space X is the pull-back along some map f : X  BU (1) of the universal bundle U(1) : EU (1)  BU (1) over the classifying space BU (1) (see App. F.4), we can regard c1 simply as an element of H2 (BU (1); Z).
+In the general case, different gauge field configurations in a G-gauge theory over a manifold X can be thought of as different principal G-bundles over X. Reversing the logic in the previous paragraph, we see that a generalized cohomology class [c]  hd (BG) would assign an element [c] () of hd (X) to each gauge field configuration  over X. Just like the first Chern class can be integrated over X to produce the first Chern number, the element [c] () can also sometimes be paired with the fundamental class of X to produce a characteristic number. The latter is supposed to be the topological action (or action amplitude) evaluated at the gauge field configuration .
+4.5. Lattice models for arbitrary generalized cohomology theory
+Esoteric as generalized cohomology theories may seem, Refs. [42, 43] have actually outlined a way to construct lattice models given any such theory h. It can be thought of as a generalization of the group cohomology construction [33] where additional degrees of freedom are placed on the d-simplices of a d-dimensional system. The input is now a map c : BG  Fd instead of a (d + 1)-cocycle. More details of the construction can be found in App. B.1.

+Figure 5: (color online). An illustration in the d = 0 case of the process that defines the map f in the pumping interpretation of -spectrum, where only a finite segment of an infinite or periodic system is drawn.
+4.6. Physical interpretations of -spectrum Refs. [40, 42, 43] proposed a physical interpretation of the spaces Fd in the -spectrum: Fd is the
+space of d-dimensional SRE states (i.e. ground states of SRE systems), and the basepoint of Fd is a particular d-dimensional trivial SRE state (e.g. a product state). There are two interpretations of the pointed homotopy equivalences Fd Fd+1 as discussed below.
+4.6.1. Dimension reduction interpretation A pointed homotopy equivalence Fd Fd+1 consists of a pair of maps f : Fd Fd+1 : g such that
+f  g  id and g  f  id. Recall that each element of Fd+1 is by definition a loop in Fd+1 based at the basepoint of Fd+1. In the dimension reduction interpretation [43], g is defined by first interpreting a loop l in Fd+1 as a pattern of (d + 1)-dimensional SRE states (with the endpoints of l corresponding to spatial infinity) and then taking the domain wall, where we note, because l is based at the basepoint of Fd+1, that the pattern is trivial far away from the domain wall. The spirit here is similar to that of the Jackiw-Rebbi soliton [81], for which the pattern is given by the spatially dependent mass term. The other map, f , is defined by inserting a d-dimensional SRE state | into a (d + 1)-dimensional trivial bulk and spreading it out in the normal direction, which then becomes a pattern of (d + 1)-dimensional SRE states and can be identified with an element of Fd+1. Note that the dimension reduction interpretation is compatible with the identification of the discrete abelian group structure of hd(BG) with stacking. Namely, concatenating loops in Fd+1 corresponds to stacking d-dimensional SRE states, and vice versa. That neither g nor f takes us out of the space of SRE (i.e. invertible-up-to-homotopy) states can be argued for by considering the reverse loop �l and the (up-to-homotopy) inverse � of | , respectively.
+4.6.2. Pumping interpretation In the pumping interpretation [40, 42], g : Fd+1  Fd is defined by interpreting a loop l in Fd+1 as
+an adiabatic evolution and measuring the d-dimensional SRE state that is pumped across an imaginary cut. On the other hand, f : Fd  Fd+1 is defined by assigning the following adiabatic evolution to a given a d-dimensional SRE state | . Namely, we first create an alternating stack of | and � and then annihilate them with neighbors, as depicted in Fig. 5. In the d = 0 case, this is reminiscent of the Chalker-Coddington model [82], although Ref. [82] was considering dynamics of real electrons not adiabatic evolution of SRE states. Note that the pumping interpretation is compatible with the identification of the discrete abelian group structure of hd(BG) with stacking. Namely, concatenating loops in Fd+1 corresponds to stacking d-dimensional SRE states. That neither f nor g takes us out of the space of SRE states can be argued for by considering � and the loop formed by concatenating l and �l, respectively.
+5. Consequences of the Hypothesis: Mathematical Results
+In this section, we discuss mathematical consequences of the Hypothesis. Their physical implications will be explored in Sec. 6. We stress that the results here depend on nothing beyond the Hypothesis. In fact, they are properties of all generalized cohomology theories.

+
+In what follows, we will denote by (Fd)dZ an arbitrary -spectrum, and by h and h~ the unreduced and reduced generalized cohomology theories it defines, respectively.

+
+(11)
+
+hd (B(Z � G)) = hd-1 (BG)  hd (BG) .
+
+(12)
+
+When h is the ordinary cohomology H�(-; R) with coefficient ring R, Eq. (12) reduces to the familiar Ku�nneth formula H�(S1 � BG; R) = H�(S1; R) R H�(BG; R), where we recall that Hi(S1; R) = R if i = 0, 1 and 0 otherwise. Eq. (12) is also easy to understand when h is a product of ordinary cohomology theories, i.e. h�(-) = i H�+di (-; Ri) for arbitrary shifts di and rings Ri. In general, h can be a "twisted" product of ordinary theories, and may not have a cup product, so it is not obvious why Eq. (12) should hold. A handwavy argument would be to replace every R in the usual Ku�nneth formula by h�(pt) and note that h�(BZ) = h�(S1) = h�(pt)  h�-1(pt) as graded discrete abelian groups.

+6. Consequences of the Hypothesis: Physical Implications
+In this section we discuss physical implications of the mathematical results in Sec. 5. We stress that the results below are not specific to any classification proposal or physical dimension, and apply to the fermionic case as well as the bosonic case. Some of our results serve as comprehensive generalizations of special cases (which are typically proposal-, dimension-, or particle content-specific) that already exist in the literature, while others are entirely new. Occasionally, in order to paint a full physical picture, it is necessary to bring in assumptions in addition to the Hypothesis or take leaps of faith, but such assumptions or leaps will be kept to a minimum and always stated explicitly.
+In what follows, we denote by h the generalized cohomology theory appearing in the Hypothesis, by h~ the corresponding reduced theory, and by (Fd)dZ their defining -spectrum.
+17
+
+6.1. Unification of old and new definitions of SPT phases
+In Sec. 2.3, we reviewed the old definition of SPT phases [8, 31], and formalized a new definition of SPT phases based on ideas in Refs. [35, 38, 39, 41, 42, 55]. The old definition is in terms of deformability to product states, whereas the new one is in terms of invertibility of phases, which is closely related and potentially equivalent [35, 38, 39, 41, 42, 55] to the condition of unique ground state on arbitrary spatial slice and, in two dimensions, the condition of no nontrivial anyonic excitations.
+We have seen in Sec. 2.3.3 that d-dimensional G-protected SPT phases in the old sense form a subset of those in the new sense. Here we would like to make their relationship more explicit.
+Physical Result 1. If SPT phases (in the new sense) are classified by a generalized cohomology theory h as in the Hypothesis, then d-dimensional invertible topological orders (i.e. d-dimensional SPT phases protected by the trivial symmetry group) are classified by hd(pt).
+
+Proof. This is a simple application of the Hypothesis: set G to be the trivial group 0 and recall that the classifying space of the trivial group, B0, is homotopy equivalent to the one-point set, pt.
+The merit of Physical Result 1 lies in the fact that the value on a point, hd (pt), is basic to any generalized cohomology theory h. Given an h, hd (pt) is usually the simplest to compute. Conversely, from hd (pt), one can deduce important information about hd (X) for any X (which was the basis of the approach in Refs. [40, 42, 43]; see Apps. A.3 and A.7).
+Physical Result 2. If SPT phases in the new sense are classified by an unreduced generalized cohomology theory h as in the Hypothesis, then SPT phases in the old sense are classified by the corresponding reduced theory h~, where the same remarks about additivity and functoriality apply.
+
+Proof. As remarked in Sec. 2.3.3, SPT phases in the old sense are precisely those SPT phases in the new sense that, by forgetting the symmetry, represent the trivial topological order. Thus, by the functoriality part of the Hypothesis, they are precisely the kernel of the map p in Lemma 5.1, which is naturally isomorphic to h~d (BG) by exactness.
+We would like to point out that the converse of Physical Result 2 is not automatic. That is, had we formulated the Hypothesis for SPT phases in the old sense in terms of h~, then it would not have been nearly as easy, if not impossible, to deduce that SPT phases in the new sense are classified by h.
+
+Physical Result 3. There is a natural isomorphism of abelian groups,
+
+d-dimensional G-
+
+d-dimensional G-

+d-dimensional
+
+protected SPT phases = protected SPT phases  invertible topo- .
+
+(30)
+
+in the new sense
+
+in the old sense
+
+logical orders
+
+Proof. We have seen in Physical Result 1 that hd (pt) = hd (B0) classifies d-dimensional invertible topological orders, and in Physical Result 2 that h~d (BG) classifies d-dimensional G-protected SPT phases in the old sense. The desired natural isomorphism then follows from Corollary 5.2.
+We note that the special case of Physical Result 3 where h is the spin cobordism theory in Ref. [36] has been pointed out by Ref. [36].
+The next result gives more information about the isomorphism in Physical Result 3.
+
+18
+
+Physical Result 4. The isomorphism in Physical Result 3 is such that the canonical injection
+
+i:
+
+d-dimensional G-protected SPT phases in the old sense
+
+
+
+d-dimensional G-protected SPT phases in the new sense
+
+(31)
+
+is given by inclusion, and that the canonical projection
+
+p:
+
+d-dimensional G-protected SPT phases in the new sense
+
+d-dimensional invertible topological orders
+
+(32)
+
+is given by forgetting symmetry G.
+
+Proof. Recall that Corollary 5.2 came from Lemma 5.1. We have seen in Physical Result 1 that hd (B0) classifies d-dimensional invertible topological orders, and in Physical Result 2 that ker p classifies ddimensional G-protected SPT phases in the old sense. The first half of Physical Result 4 is then trivial, whereas the second half follows from the functoriality part of the Hypothesis.
+6.2. Strong and weak topological indices in the interacting world
+As observed already in the 1-dimensional bosonic case [30, 31], the classification of SPT phases can be modified by an additionally imposed discrete spatial translational symmetry. Two translationally invariant systems that are inequivalent in the presence of translational symmetry may be deformable to each other via non-translationally invariant paths. A priori, it is also not obvious that there are no intrinsically non-translationally invariant SPT phases.
+Here we would like to clarify the relationship between classifications in the presence and absence of discrete translational symmetry. We will begin with discrete translation Z in only one direction and take G to be a symmetry it commutes with (hence forming Z � G). We shall assume that the Hypothesis is valid in this setup (see Sec. 2.1).
+
+Physical Result 5. Let Z act as discrete spatial translations. Then there is a natural isomorphism

+
+(34)
+
+is given by forgetting translational symmetry.
+
+Proof. Recall that Corollary 5.4 came from Proposition 5.3. The claim then follows from the funtoriality part of the Hypothesis.
+
+19
+
+Physical Result 7. It seems plausible that the isomorphism in Physical Result 5 is such that the canonical injection
+
+:
+
+(d - 1)-dimensional Gprotected SPT phases
+
+
+
+d-dimensional (Z � G)protected SPT phases
+
+(35)
+
+is given by the layering construction where one produces a d-dimensional (Z � G)-symmetric system by stacking identical copies of a (d - 1)-dimensional G-symmetric system.
+
+Arguments. A special case of Physical Result 5 has been observed in the group cohomology classification of 1-dimensional bosonic SPT phases, where  is indeed given by such a layering construction; see Sec. VB4 of Ref. [30] and Sec. IVC3 of Ref. [31]. As for arbitrary generalized cohomology theories in arbitrary dimensions, a field-theoretic construction is proposed in App. B to justify this interpretation of .
+Therefore, in parallel with the notions of strong and weak topological insulators [83], we can divide d-dimensional (Z � G)-protected SPT phases into strong ones and weak ones, according to whether they can be produced through the layering construction, or equivalently whether they become trivial upon forgetting the translational symmetry. We shall call the first and second direct summands in the righthand side of Eq. (33) the weak topological index and the strong topological index, respectively. Their counterparts in Ref. [83] would be Z2  Z2  Z2 and Z2, respectively. Despite the similarities, there is a crucial distinction between our Physical Results 5-7 and Ref. [83]: the former deal with possibly interacting bosonic or fermionic systems, whereas the latter dealt with free fermion systems.
+The next two addenda tell us how Physical Result 5 interacts with Physical Result 3.
+Addendum to Physical Result 6.  does not mix different invertible topological orders. In particular, it takes SPT phases in the old sense to SPT phases in the old sense.
+
+Proof. The invertible topological order an SPT phase represents is obtained by forgetting all symmetry operations. We have seen that  is given by forgetting Z. Since forgetting first Z and then G is equivalent to forgetting Z � G in one step,  must preserve invertible topological orders. The second half of the addendum also follows independently from the commutativity of the second square in Eq. (9).
+Addendum to Physical Result 7.  can never produce d-dimensional (Z � G)-protected SPT phases with nontrivial invertible topological orders.
+
+Proof. This follows from the commutativity of the first square in Eq. (9).
+This addendum is independent of the arguments for Physical Result 7. If one believes in those arguments, however, then what the addendum is saying is that the layering construction can never produce nontrivial invertible topological orders.
+Now, let us spell out the implications of Physical Results 5-7 in detail.
+Physical Result 8. Let Z act as discrete spatial translations and assume the interpretation of  in Physical Result 7 is valid. Then we have the following:
+(i) Every d-dimensional G-protected SPT phase can be canonically represented by a d-dimensional (Z � G)-protected SPT phase.
+
+20
+
+(ii) The layering construction turns equivalent (d - 1)-dimensional systems into equivalent ddimensional systems, and is hence well-defined at the level of phases.
+(iii) The layering construction commutes with addition of phases and replacement of G.
+(iv) The layering construction turns trivial, nontrivial, or distinct (d - 1)-dimensional G-protected SPT phases into trivial, nontrivial, distinct d-dimensional (Z � G)-protected SPT phases, respectively.
+(v) Every d-dimensional (Z � G)-protected SPT phase obtained through the layering construction becomes trivial upon forgetting Z.
+(vi) Every d-dimensional (Z � G)-protected SPT phase that becomes trivial upon forgetting Z can be obtained through the layering construction.
+(vii) If two d-dimensional (Z � G)-protected SPT phases become the same phase upon forgetting Z, then their difference can be obtained through the layering construction.
+(viii) A (Z � G)-protected SPT phase is uniquely determined by its strong and weak topological indices, and every combination of strong and weak topological indices is allowed.
+
+Proof. All statements follow from the exactness of the second row of Eq. (9), except for the one about replacement of G, which depends on naturality, and the one about canonical representative, which depends on splitting.
+
+The results here have been observed in the group cohomology classification of 1-dimensional bosonic SPT phases; see Sec. VB4 of Ref. [30] and Sec. IVC3 of Ref. [31]. Note that 0-dimensional G-protected SPT phases are nothing but isomorphism classes of 1-dimensional unitary representations of G, which are classified by Hg1roup (G; U (1)) = H2 (BG; Z) (only finite groups were considered in Refs. [30, 31]).
+
+6.3. Hierarchy of strong and weak topological indices
+We now perform a sanity check on Physical Results 5-8 by imposing discrete spatial translational symmetry in multiple linearly independent directions. With translational symmetry in two directions, for example, we have
+
+d-dim (Z � Z � G)-SPT phases
+
+= {(d - 1)-dim (Z � G)-SPT phases}  {d-dim (Z � G)-SPT phases}
+
+
+
+

+

+  Gph-aSsPeTs
+

+
+G-SPT phases
+
+,
+
+(36)
+
+where we have abbreviated "d-dimensional G-protected SPT phases" to "d-dim G-SPT phases." In the last line, the last direct summand is a strong index arising from forgetting translational symmetry in both directions; the second and third direct summands are weak indices corresponding to stacking identical copies of 1-codimensional phases in two different ways; the first direct summand is a "very weak" index corresponding to stacking 2-codimensional phases two-dimensionally. This decomposition can be generalized to translation in n directions in a straightforward fashion.

+We thus see a hierarchy of topological indices in different codimensions. There is a single strong topo-
+
+logical index, in 0 codimension (i.e. d dimensions), which arises from forgetting translational symmetry in
+
+all n directions. There are
+
+n k
+
+weak topological indices in k codimensions (i.e. d - k dimensions), which
+
+correspond to stacking identical copies of k-codimensional phases in
+
+n k
+
+different ways. This hierarchy is
+
+visualized in Fig. 6.
+
+6.4. Pumping, Floquet eigenstates, and classification of Floquet SPT phases
+
+Here we would like to reinterpret the Z in Physical Results 5-8 as a discrete temporal translational symmetry. Accordingly, we shall call a (Z � G)-protected SPT phase a G-protected Floquet SPT phase. As usual, we allow for interactions.
+
+A few words about the definition of Floquet SPT phases are in order. In essence, what we would like
+
+to define as a G-protected Floquet SPT phase is a deformation class of Floquet eigenstates, rather than a
+
+deformation class of periodic Hamiltonians [16]. A Floquet eigenstate is invariant under both the Floquet
+
+operator exp
+
+-i
+
+T 0
+
+H^ (t)dt
+
+and the G-action, which makes it clear what it would mean to forget the
+
+discrete temporal translational symmetry. In principle, different Floquet eigenstates of the same periodic
+
+Hamiltonian can represent different G-protected Floquet SPT phases, and different periodic Hamiltonians
+
+can have common Floquet eigenstates. We shall assume that the Hypothesis is valid for discrete temporal
+
+translational symmetry with respect to this notion of Floquet SPT phases (see Sec. 2.1).
+
+The results below mirror the results in Sec. 6.2.

+Figure 6: Illustration of the hierarchy of strong and weak topological indices. Different rows and columns correspond to different dimensions and symmetry groups, respectively. Zn acts as discrete spatial translations in n linearly independent directions, where n  d. Each dot denotes an abelian group of SPT phases of the appropriate dimension protected by the appropriate symmetry group. An upper-rightward move corresponds to the layering construction in the relevant direction ( in Physical Result 7). A horizontal leftward move corresponds to forgetting translational symmetry in the relevant direction ( in Physical Result 6). A horizontal rightward move corresponds to taking the canonical SPT phase with one additional translational symmetry [the splitting of the second row in Eq. (9)]. Each path along solid arrows from the leftmost column to the rightmost dot contributes a topological index, with the horizontal path responsible for the strong topological index and the rest responsible for the weak topological indices.

+
+(40)
+
+is given by measuring what (d-1)-dimensional G-protected SPT phase is pumped across an imaginary cut in a d-dimensional system in one Floquet cycle.
+
+Arguments. A special case of Physical Result 10 has been observed in the classification of 1-dimensional Floquet SPT phases within the group cohomology framework [15�17], where it was argued that  should have such a pumping interpretation, at least when G is finite abelian.
+We note that special cases of Physical Results 10-12 where h is the group cohomology theory in Ref. [33] have appeared in classifications of 1-dimensional bosonic Floquet SPT phases [15�17], in which
+
+23
+
+the fermionic case was also discussed. The next two addenda tell us how Physical Result 10 interacts with Physical Result 3.
+Addendum to Physical Result 11.  does not mix different invertible topological orders. In particular, it takes Floquet SPT phases in the old sense to SPT phases in the old sense.
+Proof. Same as Addendum to Physical Result 6.
+Addendum to Physical Result 12. Every (d-1)-dimensional G-protected SPT phase, with trivial or nontrivial invertible topological order, can be produced via  from a d-dimensional G-protected Floquet SPT phase with trivial invertible topological order.
+Proof. Same as Addendum to Physical Result 7. This addendum is independent of the arguments for Physical Result 12.
+Now, let us spell out the implications of Physical Results 10-12 in detail.
+Physical Result 13. Let G act in a way that commutes with the group Z of discrete temporal translations and assume the interpretation of  in Physical Result 12 is valid. Then we have the following:
+(i) Equivalent Floquet systems pump equivalent stationary systems across the cut. That is, pumping is well-defined at the level of phases.
+(ii) Every d-dimensional G-protected SPT phase can be obtained by forgetting the discrete temporal translational symmetry of some canonical d-dimensional G-protected Floquet SPT phase, which pumps the trivial (d - 1)-dimensional G-protected SPT phase across the cut.
+(iii) Every (d - 1)-dimensional G-protected SPT phase can be obtained through pumping from some canonical d-dimensional G-protected Floquet SPT phase, which becomes trivial upon forgetting the discrete temporal translational symmetry.
+(iv) Pumping commutes with addition of phases. That is, the (d - 1)-dimensional G-protected SPT phase pumped across the cut by the sum of two d-dimensional G-protected Floquet SPT phases is equal to the sum of the (d - 1)-dimensional G-protected SPT phases that are pumped across the cut by the two d-dimensional G-protected Floquet SPT phases respectively.
+(v) Pumping commutes with replacement of G. That is, given a homomorphism  : G  G and a d-dimensional G-protected Floquet SPT phase [c], if we write  [c] for the d-dimensional G protected Floquet SPT phase induced from [c] via , then the (d - 1)-dimensional G -protected SPT phase pumped across the cut by  [c] is equal to the one induced via  from the (d - 1)dimensional G-protected SPT phase that is pumped across the cut by [c].
+(vi) A d-dimensional G-protected Floquet SPT phase is uniquely determined by
+(a) the d-dimensional G-protected SPT phase obtained by forgetting the discrete temporal translational symmetry and
+(b) the (d - 1)-dimensional G-protected SPT phase pumped across the cut, and every combination of d- and (d - 1)-dimensional G-protected SPT phases is allowed.
+24
+
+Proof. All statements follow from the exactness and splitting of the second row of Eq. (9), except for the one about replacement of G, which depends on naturality.
+One can imagine combining ideas in Secs. 6.2 and 6.4 to treat cases where both spatial and temporal translational symmetries are present, cases where only a combination of spatial and temporal translations is a symmetry, etc., i.e., in a loose sense, spacetime crystals [84�86].
+6.5. Applications to space group-protected SPT phases A growing body of evidence [30, 31, 57�65] has emerged suggesting that the Generalized Cohomology
+Hypothesis is applicable to most, perhaps all, non-on-site symmetries as well as on-site ones. Namely, if G is a symmetry group acting in a microscopically unitary, possibly non-on-site, but orientation-preserving fashion, then the classification of d-dimensional G-protected SPT phases is given by hd (BG) for the same generalized cohomology theory h one would use to classify SPT phases protected by on-site unitary symmetries10. Systematic investigation of this principle has been put forth by Refs. [64, 65]. In Ref. [64], the principle was demonstrated for bosonic SPT phases in 1, 2, and 3 dimensions through a tensor network construction. In Ref. [65], it was demonstrated through a space group "gauging" procedure proposed therein. The principle is in accord with previously discovered special cases [30, 31, 57�63]. While some discrepancies exist [59, 60, 62, 74], we suspect they are due to the inhomogeneous definitions of space group-protected SPT phases in the literature; they also involve effectively antiunitary symmetry operations, which are beyond the purview of this paper.
+With these remarks out of the way, let us see what implications the results in Sec. 5 have on SPT phases protected by space group symmetries.
+Physical Result 14. Let SG be a space group with all orientation-reversing elements removed. Let P G be its point group. If SG is symmorphic, then every d-dimensional P G-protected SPT phase can be canonically represented by a d-dimensional SG-protected SPT phase.
+Proof. When symmorphic, SG = T G P G, where T G is the translational group. Apply Proposition 5.9.
+Put differently, when a space group is symmorphic, lifting the translational symmetry can never lead to "intrinsically new" phases. Note that one is not obligated to retain all orientation-preserving elements in the symmetry group of a physical lattice. It is perfectly fine to let G contain only rotations about a particular axis, for instance.
+Physical Result 15. Let G0 be a group that acts in an on-site fashion and SG be a space group with all orientation-reversing elements removed. Then every d-dimensional SG-protected SPT phase can be canonically represented by a d-dimensional (G0 SG)-protected SPT phase.
+Proof. Apply Proposition 5.9.
+Again, Physical Result 15 says, given an on-site symmetry and a space group symmetry, that lifting the former can never lead to "intrinsically new" phases. Note that there is no condition on symmorphism. An example of G0 and SG that do not commute is this: suppose G0 = Zn is generated by spin rotation
+10The claim is actually more general, in that one can allow for orientation-reversing (e.g. parity) or microscopically antiunitary (e.g. time-reversal) symmetry operations, as long as both are treated antiunitarily [64, 65]. In our framework, this would give rise to a nontrivial action on the -spectrum, thereby necessitating twisted generalized cohomology theories. Since we are only concerned with effectively unitary symmetry actions, we have simplified the claim a little.

+
+When G0 happens to commute with SG, we have the following additional result.
+
+Physical Result 16. With the same set-up as in Physical Result 15, if SG commutes with G0, then every d-dimensional G0-protected SPT phase can be canonically represented by a d-dimensional (G0 � SG)-protected SPT phase.
+
+Proof. Apply Proposition 5.7 or 5.9.
+On the other hand, if SG happens to be symmorphic, we have the following result.
+Physical Result 17. With the same set-up as in Physical Result 15, if SG is symmorphic, then every d-dimensional P G-protected SPT phase can be canonically represented by a d-dimensional (G0 P G)-protected SPT phase, in fact a d-dimensional (G0 SG)-protected one, where P G is the point group.
+Proof. When SG is symmorphic, the total symmetry group is G0 SG = (G0 � T G) P G, where T G is the translational group. Apply Proposition 5.9.
+This says, given an on-site symmetry and a symmorphic space group symmetry, that lifting the on-site symmetry and the translational symmetry can never lead to "intrinsically new" phases.
+Finally, let us see how Physical Results 14-17 interact with Physical Result 3.
+Addendum to Physical Results 14-17. If the phase being represented has trivial invertible topological order, then so does the canonical phase that represents it.
+
+Proof. This follows from the commutativity of the second square in Eq. (13).
+6.6. Obstruction-free enlargement of symmetry group Here we would like to discuss the enlargement of symmetry groups in general. Let G  G be
+a subgroup. As one replaces G by G, one expects to refine the classification of SPT phases. It is also possible, however, for certain G -protected SPT phases to be eliminated, for a priori there may be obstructions to lifting an action of G over to G. Here we give a sufficient condition for the absence of such obstructions.
+Physical Result 18. Given G  G, if there exists a subgroup G  G such that G is a semidirect product G G , then every d-dimensional G -protected SPT phase can be representable by a ddimensional G-protected SPT phase.
+
+Proof. The condition is equivalent to the existence of a homomorphism  : G  G such that    = id, where  : G  G is the inclusion. This implies that    : hd (BG )  hd (BG)  hd (BG ) is the identity. In particular,  : hd (BG)  hd (BG ) is surjective.
+Note that direct products are considered to be special cases of semidirect products. Moreover, there are many equivalent criteria for when G is such a semidirect product:
+
+26
+
+(i) There exists a normal subgroup G  G such that every element g  G can be written as g = g g for some unique g  G and g  G .
+(ii) There exists a normal subgroup G  G such that every element g  G can be written as g = g g for some unique g  G and g  G .
+(iii) There exists a surjective homomorphism G G that is the identity on G .
+As a special case, the enlargement from the trivial symmetry group to any symmetry group G is always obstruction-free. That is, every invertible topological order can be represented some G-protected SPT phase. This fact has been surreptitiously incorporated into Fig. 4.
+7. Summary and Outlook
+We have taken a novel, minimalist approach to the classification problem of SPT phases, where instead of directly classifying SPT phases, we looked for common ground among various existing classification proposals, which gave conflicting predictions in certain cases. The key in this approach was the formulation of a Generalized Cohomology Hypothesis that was satisfied by various proposals and captured essential aspects of SPT classification. We took the Hypothesis as the starting point and derived rigorous, general results from it. These results were born to be independent of which proposal is correct (or whether any proposal is correct at all, as long as the unknown complete classification satisfies the Hypothesis, which seems plausible on independent grounds). They typically give relations between classifications of SPT phases in different dimensions and/or protected by different symmetry groups. They hold in arbitrarily high dimensions and apply equally to fermionic and bosonic SPT phases. Our formalism works not only for on-site symmetries but also, as we argued, for discrete temporal translation, discrete spatial translation, and other space group symmetries. In a sense, what we have accomplished was not a classification, but rather a meta-, or second-order classification of SPT phases, and the merit of this approach lies in the unprecedented universality of our results.
+We believe the results presented herein are only the tip of an iceberg. Generalized cohomology theories, and by extension infinite loop spaces and stable homotopy theory [75, 76], are well-studied mathematical subjects with plenty of theorems one can draw from. An effort to understand these subjects should prove worthwhile. As another step in the same direction, we will derive and interpret the following results in an upcoming paper:
+(i) Given coprime positive integers m and n, we have h~d (BZmn) = h~d (B (Zm � Zn)) = h~n (BZm)  h~n (BZn) regardless of h~.
+(ii) There exist nontrivial discrete groups G for which h~d (BG) = 0 for all d regardless of h~.
+(iii) There exist non-isomorphic finite groups G1, G2 for which hd (BG1) = hd (BG2) regardless of h, at least in low dimensions with an additional, well-founded physical input.
+Let us conclude with some interesting open questions.
+(i) How would our results generalize if effectively antiunitary symmetries were allowed, which would give rise to group actions on the -spectrum and necessitate twisted generalized cohomology theories?
+(ii) Does the multiplicative structure of a multiplicative generalized cohomology theory have a physical meaning11?
+(iii) Do generalized cohomology groups in negative dimensions have a physical meaning12?
+(iv) Can the Hypothesis be derived from "first principles"?

+28
+
+A. Existing Classification Proposals as Generalized Cohomology Theories
+In this appendix, we explain how various proposals for the classification of SPT phases can be viewed as generalized cohomology theories. Below, we denote by K(A, n) the n-th Eilenberg-Mac Lane space of A (see App. F.4).
+
+A.1. Borel group cohomology proposal
+Ref. [33] proposed that d-dimensional G-protected bosonic SPT phases are classified by Hgdr+ou1p (G; U (1)) when G is finite and acts in an on-site, unitary fashion. Here, Hg�roup denotes group cohomology. For infinite or continuous groups, Ref. [33] conjectured a classification by a Borel group cohomology group HBd+or1el (G; U (1)), which is naturally isomorphic to Hd+2 (BG; Z) [87]. Here, H� (-; Z) is the ordinary (topological) cohomology theory with Z coefficient [78]. Ordinary cohomology theories are the most ordinary kind of generalized cohomology theories. We know from Table 2 that they are represented by Eilenberg-Mac Lane spectra. Taking into account the shift in dimension, we thus have
+
+HBd+or1el (G; U (1)) = Hd+2 (BG; Z) = [BG, K(Z, d + 2)] .
+
+(41)
+
+It can be seen either at the level of -spectrum or by inspecting Definitions F.55 and F.56 that a shift in
+dimension turns generalized cohomology theories into generalized cohomology theories. We will prove in App. D that the discrete abelian group and functorial structures of Hgdr+ou1p (G; U (1))
+for finite G correspond to stacking phases and replacing symmetry groups, respectively. This cannot be
+done for continuous or infinite discrete groups since no explicit construction was given in those cases. It only remains to show that the Hd+2 (BG; Z) reduces to Hgdr+ou1p (G; U (1)) in physical dimensions
+d  0 when G is finite. By comparing the definitions of group cohomology and cellular cohomology, one finds a natural isomorphism Hgdr+ou1p (G; U (1)) = Hd+1 (BG; U (1)) for discrete groups and in particular
+finite groups. Since Hd+1(-; A) = Hd+1(-; A) for all d  0 and coefficients A, the following lemma
+completes the proof.
+
+Lemma A.1. For each n  Z, there is a natural transformation,
+
+Hn (X; U (1))  Hn+1 (X; Z) ,
+
+(42)
+
+that is an isomorphism when X = BG and G is a finite13.
+
+Proof. See App. E.
+
+A.2. Oriented cobordism proposal Ref. [35] proposed that d-dimensional G-protected bosonic SPT phases are classified by
+
+Hom (M SOd+1 (BG) , U (1))
+
+(43)
+
+when G is finite and acts in an on-site, unitary fashion. Here, M SO� (X) denotes the n-th oriented bordism group, which is a discrete abelian group, of topological space X. Continuous symmetry groups were not dealt with in Ref. [35]. In fact, the proposal was to further quotient out a subgroup of "continuous theta-parameters," but we may as well do a classification with such parameters allowed and quotient them out at the end of the day. Ref. [35] also assumed a "vanishing thermal Hall response," but that is a matter of what the word "system" means, which was put in a black box in Sec. 2.3.2.
+To prove that the oriented cobordism proposal is a generalized cohomology theory, it is best to use the algebraic definitions F.55 and F.56 of generalized cohomology theories, and the analogous algebraic definitions [78] of generalized homology theories, rather than the topological definitions 3.2 and 3.1. By inspecting these algebraic definitions, one can convince themselves that the functor Hom (-, U (1)) turns
+
+13This result was stated informally without proof in Ref. [71].
+29
+
+generalized homology theories into generalized cohomology theories. The only axiom that is perhaps
+nontrivial to check is the exactness axiom, for which one should invoke the fact that U (1) is an injective Z-module. Knowing that oriented bordism M SO� is a generalized homology theory [75, 76, 88], we conclude that the oriented cobordism proposal is a generalized cohomology theory.
+It can only be partially verified that that the additive and functorial structures of the oriented cobor-
+dism proposal correspond to stacking phases and replacing symmetry groups, respectively, as no lattice
+model was given in Ref. [35]. Eq. (43) is different from the standard oriented cobordism group M SOd+1 (BG) [35], and hence is
+not represented by the Thom spectrum M SO in the sense of Theorem F.57. It is, however, still related
+to the Thom spectrum M SO as oriented bordism groups M SOd+1 (BG) can be defined in terms of it [75, 76, 88].
+
+A.3. Kitaev's bosonic proposal
+Kitaev's proposal [40, 42] is unique among all existing classification proposals for bosonic SPT phases. He took the Generalized Cohomology Hypothesis as a fundamental assumption and tried to construct an -spectrum from physical knowledge. The key observation there was that hd (pt)'s simultaneously classify invertible topological orders (see Physical Result 1) and determine homotopy groups of the -spectrum:
+
+hd (pt) = i (Fi+d) =: -d (F ) , i
+
+(44)
+
+Homotopy groups carry important information about a topological space. The additional information needed to determine the homotopy type of a space is given by so-called k-invariants [78], and they are sometimes unique for trivial reasons. Given the homotopy groups and k-invariants of a space, the reconstruction proceeds by building a Postnikov tower from the bottom up [78].
+Refs. [40, 42] assumed that
+
+F0  CP , h1 (pt) = 0, h2 (pt) = Z, h3 (pt) = 0,
+
+(45)
+
+where CP  is the space of rays of (the direct limit of) finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces (recall Sec. 4.6), and h2 (pt) is generated by the E8-model [45, 70, 71]. Physically, 2(CP ) = Z can be identified with the integral of the Berry curvature, and h2 (pt) = Z can be identified with chiral central charge [40, 42]. Accordingly, the homotopy groups of the -spectrum are
+
+i < -3 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 > 2
+
+i (F ) ?
+
+0 Z 0 00Z 0
+
+Having a single nontrivial homotopy group, the homotopy type of F1 can be trivially determined:
+
+F1 = K(Z, 3),
+
+(46)
+
+since there is no k-invariant to worry about. It turns out that the homotopy type of F2 can also be
+
+determined:
+
+F2 = K(Z, 4) � Z,
+
+(47)
+
+but for that one must utilize the fact that F2 F3 is a loop space. Though not mentioned in Refs. [40,
+
+42], we can go on to determine the homotopy type of F3. It has two nontrivial homotopy groups in positive dimensions and one potentially nontrivial k-invariant, which takes value in H6 (K (Z, 1) ; Z).
+
+Incidentally, H6 (K (Z, 1) ; Z) = 0, so this k-invariant must be trivial as well, and the homotopy type of
+
+F3 can be determined:
+
+F3 = K(Z, 5) � K(Z, 1) K(Z, 5) � S1.
+
+(48)
+
+A similar argument (H7 (K (Z, 2) ; Z) = 0 plus the fact that it is a loop space) shows that
+
+F4 = K(Z, 6) � K(Z, 2) � -4 (F ) K(Z, 6) � CP  � h4 (pt) ,
+
+(49)
+
+but h4 (pt) is unknown. All higher dimensional Fd's require further input. It can only be partially verified that that the additive and functorial structures of Kitaev's bosonic
+proposal correspond to stacking phases and replacing symmetry groups, respectively, as the lattice model given in Ref. [71] was schematic.
+
+30
+
+A.4. Freed's bosonic proposal We refer the reader to Refs. [38, 39] in view of the complexity of the proposal.
+
+A.5. Group supercohomology proposal
+Ref. [34] proposed, when G is finite and acts in an on-site, unitary fashion, that d-dimensional Gprotected fermionic SPT phases are classified by a group supercohomology group whose cochains of are pairs14
+
+d : Gd+1  U (1),
+
+(51)
+
+nd-1 : Gd  Z2  U (1).
+
+(52)
+
+We believe that the proposal amounts to using the -spectrum with the homotopy groups
+
+
+
+Z2, i = d,
+
+i-d (F ) := i (Fd) = Z0,,
+
+i = d + 2, otherwise,
+
+(53)
+
+and the k-invariants (see App. A.3) defined as follows. Having at most two nontrivial homotopy groups, each Fd has at most one nontrivial k-invariant, kd+1. If we denote by  and  the Bockstein homomorphisms [78] associated with the first and second rows of the commutative diagram

+Z
+
+R ei2x U (1)
+

+
+(54)
+
+and by  the map induced by the last vertical map, then kd+1 is defined to be the unique map making the following diagram commute:
+
+Hd (-; Z2)
+Sq2
+
+kd+1 
+
+Hd+3 (-; Z)
+
+
+Hd+2 (-; Z2)  Hd+2 (-; U (1))
+
+(55)
+
+where Sq2 is the Steenrod square [78], which Ref. [33] mentioned in passing. In other words,
+
+kd+1 =   Sq2.
+
+(56)
+
+One can think of the resulting theory as some sort of "twisted product" between Hd+2 (-; Z) and Hd (-; Z2), which should correspond to d and nd-1, respectively (recall Lemma A.1). Indeed, if all kd+1's were trivial, then Fd would simply be a product K(Z, d + 2) � K(Z2, d) and the generalized cohomology group would simply be Hd+2 (-; Z)  Hd (-; Z2). In reality, this is true in d = 0, 1 but not necessarily higher dimensions. Thus, we have
+
+F0 = K(Z, 2) � Z2 CP  � Z2,
+
+(57)
+
+F1 = K(Z, 3) � K(Z2, 1) K(Z, 3) � RP ,
+
+(58)
+
+14The cochains in Ref. [34] are actually triples (d, nd-1, ud-1)  HomZ Z Gd+1 , U (1) � HomZG Z Gd , H1 Zf2 , U (1) � HomZG Z Gd , Hg1roup Gf , U (1) ,
+(50) where Gf is the full symmetry group including fermion parity, but at the level of equivalence classes, ud-1 is irrelevant. See App. C of Ref. [34].

+
+A.7. Kitaev's fermionic proposal
+Kitaev's proposal [42, 43] for the classification of fermionic SPT phases was in close analogy with the bosonic case discussed in App. A.3. Again, he took the Generalized Cohomology Hypothesis as a fundamental assumption and tried to construct an -spectrum from physical knowledge. This time, it was assumed that
+
+F0  CP  � Z2, h1 (pt) = Z2, h2 (pt) = Z,
+
+(60)
+
+where CP  is the space of rays of (the direct limit of) finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces (recall Sec. 4.6), the Z2 in F0 is fermion parity, the Z2 in h1 (pt) is generated by the Majorana chain [66], and Z is generated by (p + ip)-superconductors [67�69]. Physically, 2(CP ) = Z can be identified with the integral of the Berry curvature. Accordingly, the homotopy groups of the -spectrum are
+
+i < -2 -2 -1 0 1 2 > 2
+
+i (F ) ?
+
+Z Z2 Z2 0 Z 0
+
+Unfortunately, without further input, one can only determine the homotopy type of Fd for d  0. As for F1, there are two path components, which are homotopy equivalent since F1 is a loop space. The component containing the basepoint has two nontrivial homotopy groups and one potentially nontrivial
+k-invariant,
+
+k2  H4 (K (Z2, 1) ; Z) = Z2.
+
+(61)
+
+Thus there are two possibilities:
+
+F1 = X3 � Z2,
+
+(62)
+
+where X3 is either K(Z, 3)�K(Z2, 1) corresponding to k2 = 0, or a more complicated space corresponding to k2 = 0. If one borrows k2 from App. A.5, then k2 = 0, and F1 = K (Z, 3) � K (Z2, 1) � Z2 K(Z, 3) � CP  � Z2.
+It can only be partially verified that that the additive and functorial structures of Kitaev's fermionic
+
+proposal correspond to stacking phases and replacing symmetry groups, respectively, as the lattice model given in Ref. [71] was schematic.

+
+B. Field-Theoretic Argument for Weak-Index Interpretation
+In this Appendix, we present a field-theoretic argument for Physical Result 7. To do so, we must first stipulate how to associate physical phases to cohomology classes (Apps. B.1 and B.2). Then we can check if the map  in Physical Result 7 on the mathematical side corresponds to the layering construction on the physical side (App. B.3).
+The arguments below apply equally to the fermionic and the bosonic cases.
+
+32
+
+B.1. Kitaev's construction
+We follow the prescription of Refs. [42, 71] to associate (d - 1)-dimensional SPT phases protected by on-site unitary symmetry G to cohomology classes [c]  hd-1 (BG). The construction is essentially a nonlinear sigma model with target space BG. There are some subtleties discussed in Refs. [42, 71] that we will sweep under the rug here.
+To wit, we first associate to each map c : BG  Fd-1 and spatial slice X the state
+
+| (c, X) =
+
+|m  | (c, m) Dm,
+
+(63)
+
+Map(X,BG)
+
+where m is a chiral field over X with target space BG, and |(c  m) is a pattern of SRE states that looks like c (m(x))  Fd-1 around x  X. Then, to each cohomology class [c]  hd-1 (BG), we associate the (d - 1)-dimensional G-protected SPT phase represented by a system whose unique ground state on
+a spatial slice X is | (c, X) , where c is any representative of [c].
+
+B.2. A generalization to translational symmetry
+We propose a generalization of the construction in Refs. [42, 71] that will enable us to associate d-dimensional SPT phases protected by discrete spatial translational symmetry Z and on-site unitary symmetry G to cohomology classes [c ]  hd (B (Z � G)).
+More specifically, over a spatial slice Y = R � X, where R is the direction along which discrete spatial translational symmetry is assumed, we let there be two fields: a chiral field m with target aspace BG and a background field ei with target space S1  U (1)15. The latter can be thought of as the vacuum
+expectation value of an order parameter characterizing the translational symmetry breaking. It should thus be constant over X and wind around S1 periodically along R:
+
+(x0 + 1) = (x0) + 2,
+
+(64)
+
+which guarantees that ei(x0+1) = ei(x0). Here, x0 and x are the coordinates for R and X, respectively. We have dropped x from the arguments of  for brevity.
+Now, we associate to each map c : S1 � BG  Fd and spatial slice Y = R � X the state
+
+| (c , , X) =
+
+|m  | (c , , m ) Dm ,
+
+(65)
+
+Map(Y ,Fd )
+
+where | (c , , m ) is the pattern of SRE states that looks like c ei(x0), m (x0, x) around (x0, x)  R � X. Then, to each cohomology class [c ]  hd (B (Z � G)) = hd S1 � BG , we associate the ddimensional (Z � G)-protected SPT phase represented by a system whose unique ground state on a spatial slice Y = R � X is | (c , , X) , where c is any representative of [c ].
+
+B.3. Weak-index interpretation
+Take any [c]  hd-1 (BG) and let [c ]  hd (B (Z � G)) be its image under . Since Fd-1 cohomology class [c] can be represented by a map
+
+Fd, the
+
+c : BG  Fd,
+
+(66)
+
+which sends each point of BG to a loop in Fd, or equivalently a map
+
+c : S1 � BG  Fd
+
+(67)
+
+subject to the constraint that it sends all of {s0} � BG to the basepoint of Fd, where s0 denotes the basepoint of S1. On the other hand, since B (Z � G) S1 � BG, the cohomology class [c ] can also be
+
+represented by a map
+
+c : S1 � BG  Fd,
+
+(68)
+
+15We thank Ryan Thorngren for suggesting the idea of a background field.

+
+(69)
+
+We now argue, by tinkering with the background field, that | (c, , X) can be obtained by stacking identical copies of | (c, X) separated by trivial slabs (see Fig. 7). To that end, let us assume, in the spirit of Ref. [43], that there is a short distance cutoff for the chiral field m . We deform  according to Fig. 8: we create a series of plateaus and squeeze transitions between them to within a distance much less than from integral values of x0. Symmetry is preserved during the deformation, presumably so is the gap. Since the constant loop in Fd corresponds to a trivial (d - 1)-dimensional state, the | (c, , X) must now look trivial away from integral values of x0. This effectively decouples layers corresponding to different transitions between plateaus, each of which is nothing but a copy of | (c, X) . We have achieved the factorization
+
+| (c, , X) = � � �  | (c, X)  |trivial  | (c, X)  |trivial  � � � .

+
+C. Categorical Viewpoint
+In this appendix, we revisit the Generalized Cohomology Hypothesis from a categorical perspective. As we will see, the Hypothesis can be stated more succinctly in categorical language (see App. F.2 for background).
+
+C.1. Paraphrase of the Generalized Cohomology Hypothesis The classification of SPT phases can be viewed as a sequence of contravariant functors
+
+SPT d : Grp  Ab
+
+(71)
+
+indexed by nonnegative integers d  N. Given a group G, SPT d (G) is the discrete abelian group of ddimensional G-protected SPT phases. Given a group homomorphism , SPT d() is the map defined by pulling back representations, as in Sec. 2.4.2. We can paraphrase the Generalized Cohomology Hypothesis as follows:
+
+34
+
+Generalized Cohomology Hypothesis (Categorical Version). There exists a generalized cohomology theory h such that there are natural isomorphisms
+
+SPT d(G) = hd(BG), d  N.
+
+(72)
+
+Note the left-hand side is defined physically while the right-hand side is purely mathematical. The Hypothesis bridges physics and mathematics.
+But life is not always as good as natural isomorphisms. In practice, what one can do is to propose a construction, which can be viewed as a family of maps
+
+hd (BG)  SPT d (G) .
+
+(73)
+
+Such maps may or may not be bijective, but they had better be homomorphisms between discrete
+abelian groups and respect the functorial structure. In other words, they had better form a natural
+transformation for each d. Under certain conditions, this can be achieved through a redefinition of the additive or functorial structures of hd if it is not already the case.
+
+C.2. Further examples Let us exemplify how this categorical lingo can be used. We can say that Ref. [33] proposed a construction (at least for finite groups)
+
+Hd+2 (BG; Z)  SPT d (G) ,
+
+(74)
+
+and proved that the maps were well-defined. They actually form a natural transformation for each d as
+
+per App. D, though the original paper did not set out to prove this.
+
+We can also say that Ref. [35] argued for the existence of natural isomorphisms (at least for finite
+
+groups)
+
+Hom (M SOd+1(BG), U (1))  SPT d(G).
+
+(75)
+
+However, the paper did not give explicit formulas for these maps in the form of lattice models.
+
+Suppose we can define maps
+
+Hom (M SOd+1(BG), U (1))  SPT d(G)
+
+(76)
+
+that at least form a natural transformation for each d. Ref. [35] tried to elucidate the relationship between Ref. [33] and their proposal: "there exist SPT phases which appear to be nontrivial from the group cohomology point of view, but are trivial from the cobordism point of view," and "there also exist SPT phases which are nontrivial from [the cobordism] point of view but are not captured by the group cohomology classification." What was presumed in these remarks was a commutativity diagram for each d:
+
+Hd+2 (BG; Z)
+
+Hom (M SOd+1(BG), U (1))
+
+(77) SPT d(G)
+
+where the vertical arrow is the natural transformation (74), the dashed diagonal arrow is the natural transformation (76), and the horizontal arrow is a certain mathematically obvious natural transformation (assuming G is finite) that we do not intend to explain. The remarks quoted above amount to saying that the horizontal arrow does not have to be either injective or surjective.
+Finally, we can say that what we did in App. B was to specify the horizontal arrows in the diagram below and argue that the diagram commutes:
+
+hd-1 (BG)
+
+SPT d(G)
+
+
+
+layering
+
+(78)
+
+hd (B (Z � G))
+
+SPT d (Z � G)
+
+We used Kitaev's construction [43] for the upper horizontal arrow and proposed a generalized construction for the lower horizontal arrow.

+
+D. Additivity and Functoriality of the Group Cohomology Construction
+In this subsection we will show, within the group cohomology construction [33] of bosonic SPT phases (for finite groups), that adding cohomology classes corresponds to stacking SPT phases (see Sec. 2.4.1), and that the map induced by a homomorphism between symmetry groups corresponds to replacing the symmetry group (see Sec. 2.4.2). We will begin with the 1-dimensional case.
+
+D.1. 1-dimensional case
+
+Let us review the construction in Ref. [33], specializing to 1 dimension. Take a finite symmetry
+
+group G. Consider a ring with N sites and associate to each site the |G|-dimensional Hilbert space CG,
+
+which has orthonormal basis {|g |g  G} and on which G acts according to g |gi = |ggi . We define
+
+| := 1
+|G|
+
+gG |g and P^i := I(i-1)  | |  I(N-i). Then the Hamiltonian
+
+N
+
+H^ (0) := - P^i
+
+(79)
+
+i=1
+
+is local, preserves the symmetry, and has a unique, gapped ground state,
+
+|(0) = | N .
+
+(80)
+
+Given a 2-cocycle   HomG G3, U (1) , we define a diagonal, local unitary operator,
+
+U^ () :=
+
+N -1
+
+ (1, g1, gN )-1
+
+ (1, gi, gi+1) |{gi} {gi}| .
+
+g1,...,gN G
+
+i=1
+
+(81)
+
+Then the Hamiltonian corresponding to  is given by
+
+H^ () := U^ ()H^ (0)U^ (),
+
+(82)
+
+which is local and symmetry-preserving because H^ (0) and U^ () are. It has a unique, gapped ground state,

+
+D.1.1. Adding cohomology classes = stacking SPT phases
+Envision two rings as in App. D.1, corresponding to 2-cocycles  and  , respectively. Stacking one ring on top of the other produces another 1-dimensional system. With an augmented Hilbert space CG  CG associated to each (composite) site, this composite system is no longer given by the group cohomology
+construction per se. It is, nevertheless, in the same phase as a system constructed as such, namely the one corresponding to the sum  of  and  , as we show below16. Thus, the mathematical addition of
+cocycles, and hence cohomology classes, corresponds precisely to the physical stacking of SPT phases.
+To show that the composite system with the Hamiltonian
+
+H^ ()  H^ ( ) = U^ ()H^ (0)U^ ()  U^ ( )H^ (0)U^ ( )
+
+(84)
+
+is in the same phase as the system with the Hamiltonian
+
+H^ ( ) = U^ ( )H^ (0)U^ ( ),
+
+(85)
+
+16Recall that there is an additive structure on the set of 2-cocycles, defined by ( ) (g0, g1, g2) := (g0, g1, g2)(g0, g1, g2). Addition of cocycles is written multiplicatively because, in physics, the composition law of U (1) is usually considered multiplicative rather than additive.

+
+Figure 9: (color online). Two 1-dimensional systems, which consist of vertices labeled 1 through 10 (blue) and 1 through 10 (red), respectively, are stacked together to form a new 1-dimensional system. With the introduction of an auxiliary vertex 0 (magenta), a cone is formed for each system. The ground states |() and |( ) are then given by "integrating"  and  over the two cones, respectively � this is a standard procedure in topological quantum field theories [89]. The coefficients in Eq. (86) and Eq. (88) are the "integrals" of  over the shaded "surfaces" (i.e. chains) in (a) and (b), respectively. The two are equal because the chains in (a) and (b) are homologous.
+
+we first tensor the latter with a trivial ancillary ring, yielding H^ ( )  H^ (0). Since H^ ( )  H^ (0) is related to H^ ()  H^ ( ) by conjugation by the unitary operator

+
+it suffices to find a path from I to U^ 1 via local unitary operators that preserve the symmetry. Here, {gi}
+
+and {gi} are variables on the first and the second rings, respectively. By the cocycle condition d = 0,
+
+we have

+
+(88)
+
+Geometrically, this amounts to replacing the chain shown in Fig. 9(a) by the chain shown in Fig. 9(b). In this new form, U^ 1 would preserve the symmetry even if  failed to satisfy the cocycle condition. Take a
+path t in the space of 2-cochains that begins at the trivial 2-cochain and ends at  . Then
+
+U^ t := {gi},{gi}

+for 0  t  1, is a path from I to U^ 1 via local unitary operators that preserve the symmetry, as desired.
+
+D.1.2. Induced cohomology class = replaced symmetry group
+Consider two possible symmetry groups G and G and a homomorphism  : G  G between them.
+A 2-cocycle  of G determines a 1-dimensional system representing a G-protected SPT phase via the construction in App. D.1. It has the Hilbert space CG associated to each site, the G-action g |gi = |ggi , and the Hamiltonian H^ (). We denote this system by CG, , H^ () .
+Precomposing  with , we obtain a G -action on CG:
+
+(  )g |gi = (g ) |gi = |(g )gi .
+
+(90)
+
+The Hamiltonian H^ () commutes with    since it does with . Thus the same physical system can also be viewed as a representative of a G -protected SPT phase. Physically, this amounts to forgetting
+
+37
+
+those symmetry operations in G that are not in the image of , and relabelling those in the image of 
+by elements of G in a possibly redundant manner. We denote this system by CG,   , H^ () .
+On the other hand, the mathematical structure of group cohomology is such that every homomorphism  : G  G gives rise to an induced homomorphism  from the discrete abelian group of 2-cocycles of G to the discrete abelian group of 2-cocycles of G . More explicitly, this  sends a 2-cocycle  of G to
+the 2-cocycle
+
+ : G � G � G  U (1)
+
+(g0, g1, g2)   ((g0), (g1), (g2))
+
+(91)
+
+of G . For the given  and , the 2-cocycle  determines, via the construction in App. D.1, a system that represents a G -protected SPT phase. We denote this system by CG ,  , H^ () .
+A good construction of SPT phases should have functoriality built into its mathematical structure. It would therefore be ideal if the systems CG ,  , H^ () and CG,   , H^ () were actually the same,
+which is unfortunately false unless  is an isomorphism. They are, however, in the same G -protected SPT phase, as we now show.
+To that end, let us recall that every group homomorphism can be factored as the composition of a surjective homomorphism and an inclusion. Thus it suffices to consider these two special cases.
+First, suppose  : G  G is an inclusion. We will deform the system CG,   , H^ () into the
+
+system CG ,  , H^ () step by step. To begin, let S be a set of representatives of the right cosets of G in G. That is,
+
+G s1  G s2 = , s1 = s2  S,
+
+(92)
+
+sSG s = G.
+
+(93)
+
+We can assume that the identity 1  G is contained in S. Given any g  G, there is a unique pair
+
+(g , s)  G � S for which g s = g. We can thus rewrite every basis state |g in the form |g  |s and
+
+pretend that the Hilbert space CG is the tensor product of CG and CS. The G -action    on CG then
+
+goes over into
+
+(  )g (|gi  |s ) = |g gi  |s .
+
+(94)
+
+Next, we choose a path W^ t of unitary operators on CG  CS that acts trivially on CG for all t  [0, 1],
+
+equals I at t = 0, and sends |gi
+
+ 1
+|S|
+
+sS |s to |gi  |1 at t = 1. Since W^ t commutes with the
+
+G -action for all t, so does the family of local unitary operators
+
+U^ t
+
+:=
+
+U^ ()W^
+
+N t
+
+U^ ().

+
+Given any g  G , there is a unique pair (t, r)  T � R for which tr = g . We can thus rewrite every basis state |g in the form |t  |r and pretend that the Hilbert space CG is the tensor product of CT and CR. In this new form, the G -action satisfies

+Take a finite symmetry group G. Consider a triangulated d-dimensional oriented closed manifold M together with a total ordering of the vertices17, which we accordingly label by 1, 2, . . ., N . We denote by 0, . . . , d the vertices of a d-simplex , with 0 < � � � < d. The ordering 0 < � � � < d determines an orientation of , which may or may not agree with that of M . We set O() = 1 if it does and O() = -1 otherwise. Given a (d + 1)-cocycle , the construction in Ref. [33] of H^ () and |() is the same as in App. D.1 except that the unitary operator (81) should be replaced by
+
+U^ () :=
+
+ (1, g0 , . . . , gd )O() |{gi} {gi}| ,
+
+{gi} 
+
+(105)
+
+where  runs over the d-simplices of M .
+
+D.2.1. Adding cohomology classes = stacking SPT phases Take any d-cocycle  of G. Since d = 0, we have

+k=0
+
+1, g0 , . . . , gk , gk , . . . , gd (-1)k = 1
+
+for all g0 , . . . , gd , g1 , . . . , gd  G. Expanding the left-hand side, one can show that

+
+k=0
+
+(106) (107)
+
+The proof in App. D.1.1 can be immediately generalized to d dimensions by substituting Eq. (107) for Eq. (87), where the vertices of the composite system may be ordered either so that 1 < 1 < 2 < 2 < � � � < N < N or so that 1 < � � � < N < 1 < � � � < N .
+
+D.2.2. Induced cohomology class = replaced symmetry group To generalize the proof in App. D.1.2 to d dimensions, one simply replaces all expressions of the form
+
+N -1
+(1, g1, gN )-1 (1, gi, gi+1),
+i=1
+
+(108)
+
+where  is some 2-cocycle and {gi} is some indexed family of elements of either G or G, by corresponding
+
+expressions of the form
+
+ (1, g0 , . . . , gd )O() ,
+
+(109)
+
+
+
+where  runs over the d-simplices of M .
+
+E. Proofs In this appendix we collect proofs for mathematical results in this paper. We begin with some lemmas.
+
+17Ref. [33] considered "branching structures" instead of total orderings of vertices, but this distinction is inconsequential.

+
+E.1. Some lemmas
+Lemma E.1. Let (Fn) be an -spectrum and (X, x0) be a pointed CW-complex. There is a natural split short exact sequence,

+{x0}, p induced by the inclusion {x0}  X, and i given by
+
+Proof. The long exact sequence of reduced cohomology groups of the pair ((X � I) / (X � I) , ({x0} � I) / ({x0} � I))
+breaks into short exact sequences, since there is an obvious retraction (X � I) / (X � I)  ({x0} � I) / ({x0} � I) .
+Now apply the suspension-loop adjunction and use the fact that Fn Fn+1.
+
+(111) (112)
+
+Lemma E.2. Let (Fn) be an -spectrum and (X, A) be a CW-pair with basepoint x0 together with a retraction  : X A. There is a natural commutative diagram,

+consisting of exact rows and columns, with ~ and  induced by the quotient map X X/A, ~ and  induced by the inclusion A  X, and i and p as in Lemma E.1. Furthermore,  induces splittings ~ and  of the first and second rows, which fit into the commutative diagram
+
+X, Fn ~ A, Fn

+
+[X, Fn]  [A, Fn]
+
+(114)
+
+Proof. The exactness of the columns follows from Lemma E.1. The split exactness of the first row follows from the fact that the long exact sequence of reduced cohomology groups of (X, A) breaks into short exact sequences due to the existence of a retraction. The split exactness of the second row follows from diagram chasing. Commutativity and naturality are trivial to check.
+
+Lemma E.3. Let (Fn) be an -spectrum and X, Y be pointed CW-complexes. There exists an isomor-

+Now apply the suspension-loop adjunction and use the fact that Fn Fn+1. The rest can be verified straightforwardly.

+of abstract (i.e. without topology) abelian groups, which gives rise to a natural long exact sequence,

+The lemma will be established once we prove that
+
+Hn (BG; R) = 0
+
+(129)
+
+for all n  Z and finite groups G. By the universal coefficient theorem, this amounts to showing that Ext1 Hn (BG; Z) , R = Hom Hn (BG; Z) , R = 0. The Ext group is trivial because R is a field. The
+Hom group is trivial because Hn (BG; Z) is pure torsion, as per Remarks 3.6 and 3.7 and Corollary 5.4 in Chap. II of Ref. [77].
+
+F. Mathematical Background
+F.1. Notions in algebraic topology The definitions and constructions below are standard in algebraic topology. See e.g. Ref. [78] for detail.
+Definition F.1 (pointed topological space). A pointed topological space (X, x0) is a nonempty topological space X together with a privileged point x0  X called the basepoint. When the choice of x0 is clear from the context, one may simply write X instead of (X, x0).
+Recall from Sec. 2.2 that "map" always means continuous map.
+Definition F.2 (pointed map). A pointed map between pointed topological spaces is a map that preserves basepoint.
+Definition F.3 (topological group). A topological group is a topological space with a group structure such that both the multiplication and the inversion maps are continuous.
+As in the main text (see Sec. 2.2), we will abbreviate "topological group" to simply "group" and assume that homomorphisms between topological groups are continuous.
+Construction F.4. Given a topological space X, we can form the quotient space X/A from X by collapsing a subspace A  X. The image of A is the default basepoint of X/A.
+Construction F.5. Given two pointed topological spaces (X, x0) and (Y, y0), we define the wedge sum X  Y to be (X Y ) / {x0, y0}. That is, it is formed from the disjoint union X Y by identifying x0 and y0.
+Construction F.6. Given two pointed topological spaces (X, x0) and (Y, y0), we define the smash product X  Y to be (X � Y ) / ((X � {y0})  ({x0} � Y )). It can be viewed as (X � Y ) / (X  Y ).
+Construction F.7. Given a topological space X, we form the suspension SX from X � I by collapsing X � {0} to a point and X � {1} to another point.
+Construction F.8. Given a pointed topological space (X, x0), we define the reduced suspension X to be (X � I) / ((X � I)  ({x0} � I)). Equivalently, it can be formed from SX by further collapsing {x0} � I. It can also be viewed as S1  X.

+Figure 10: (color online). Illustration of the (a) quotient, (b) wedge sum, (c) smash product, (d) suspension, and reduced suspension constructions.
+
+These constructions are illustrated in Fig. 10.
+
+Definition F.9 (homotopy). A homotopy between two maps f0, f1 : X  Y is a map f : X � I  Y such that
+
+f (x, 0) = f0(x), f (x, 1) = f1(x), x.
+
+(130)
+
+When such a map exists, f0 and f1 are said to be homotopic, and we write f0  f1. This defines an equivalence relation, an equivalence class with respect to which is called a homotopy class. The set of homotopy classes of maps from X to Y is denoted by [X, Y ].
+
+Definition F.10 (pointed homotopy). A pointed homotopy between two pointed maps f0, f1 : (X, x0)  (Y, y0) is a map f : X � I  Y such that
+
+f (x, 0) = f0(x), f (x, 1) = f1(x), x, f (x0, t) = y0, t.
+
+(131) (132)
+
+When such a map exists, f0 and f1 are said to be homotopic in the pointed sense, and we write f0  f1. This defines an equivalence relation, an equivalence class with respect to which is called a pointed homotopy class. The set of pointed homotopy classes of maps from (X, x0) to (Y, y0) is denoted by X, Y .
+
+Example F.11. The n-th homotopy group of a pointed topological space (Y, y0) is n(Y ) := Sn, Y . In particular, the fundamental group is 1(Y ) := S1, Y , while the set of path components is 0(Y ) := [pt, Y ]  S0, Y .
+
+Definition F.12 (homotopy equivalence). A homotopy equivalence between topological spaces X and Y is a pair of maps f : X Y : g such that both g  f and f  g are homotopic to the identities. When such maps exist, X and Y are said to be homotopy equivalent, and we write X Y . This defines an equivalence relation, an equivalence class with respect to which is called a homotopy type.
+
+Definition F.13 (pointed homotopy equivalence). A pointed homotopy equivalence between pointed
+topological spaces (X, x0) and (Y, y0) is a pair of pointed maps f : (X, x0) (Y, y0) : g such that both g  f and f  g are homotopic to the identities in the pointed sense. When such maps exist, (X, x0) and (Y, y0) are said to be homotopy equivalent in the pointed sense, and we write (X, x0) (Y, y0). This defines an equivalence relation, an equivalence class with respect to which is called a pointed homotopy
+type.
+
+A single map f : X  Y or pointed map f : (X, x0)  (Y, y0) is sometimes said to be a homotopy equivalence or pointed homotopy equivalence, respectively, if a g with the above properties exists. Thus f is a homotopy equivalence or pointed homotopy equivalence if and only if it represents an invertible map in [X, Y ] or X, Y , respectively. A homotopy equivalence or pointed homotopy equivalence is precisely an isomorphism in the homotopy category (see App. F.2).
+
+Construction F.14. Given topological spaces X and Y , we can form the space Map(X, Y ) of maps from X to Y , endowed with the compact-open topology [78].

+single 1-cell e1 (equator) to a single 0-cell e0 and then attaching two 2-cells e21 (northern hemisphere) and e22 (southern hemisphere).
+
+Construction F.15. Given pointed topological spaces (X, x0) and (Y, y0), we can form the space Map (X, Y ) of pointed maps from (X, x0) to (Y, y0), endowed with the compact-open topology.
+Example F.16. Provided that X is sufficiently well-behaved (e.g. locally compact; see Proposition A.14 of Ref. [78]), a homotopy or pointed homotopy can alternatively be defined to be a path in the space Map(X, Y ) or Map (X, Y ), respectively. In this case, [X, Y ] and X, Y can be viewed as the sets of path components of Map(X, Y ) and Map (X, Y ), respectively.
+Example F.17 (path space). The path space P Y of a pointed topological space (Y, y0) is defined to be the space Map ((I, 0), (Y, y0)). Intuitively, it is the space of paths in Y with y0 as the initial point. There is a canonical map P Y  Y sending a path p to its endpoint p(1). The default basepoint of P Y is the constant path.
+Example F.18 (loop space). The loop space Y of a pointed topological space (Y, y0) is defined to be the space Map (S1, s0), (Y, y0) . It can be viewed as the preimage of y0 with respect to the map P Y  Y . Intuitively, it is the space of loops in Y based at y0. The default basepoint of Y is the constant loop.
+Theorem F.19. The sequence Y  P Y  Y , where the first map is the inclusion and the second map is as in Example F.17, is a fibration. It is called the path space fibration.
+The definition of topological space is general enough to harbor wild examples. It is common in algebraic topology to work with better-behaved spaces, such as CW-complexes.
+Construction F.20. Let us construct a topological space X inductively, as follows. Begin with a discrete topological space X0, called the 0-skeleton. For each n  1, we form the n-skeleton Xn by "gluing" the boundaries of a family of n-disks to Xn-1 along some maps  : Dn  Xn-1. That is, we form the disjoint union Xn-1 ( Dn) and then identify x  Dn with (x)  Xn-1 for all x and . Finally, define X = nXn and declare a set in X to be open if and only if its intersections with all Xn's are open.
+The homeomorphic image en of the interior of a Dn is called an n-cell. A point in X0 is called a 0-cell. Note that the 's need not be injective.
+Definition F.21 (CW-complex). A CW-complex is a topological space constructed as in Construction F.20, with the partition into cells retained as part of the data.
+Example F.22. There are two common CW structures on S2 as illustrated in Fig. 11.
+
+Example F.23. All closed manifolds of dimension = 4 can be given CW structures (the 4-dimensional case is an open question) [90, 91].
+
+45
+
+Definition F.24 (CW-group). A CW-group G is a CW-complex together with a topological group structure with the following properties [77, 92, 93]:
+(i) the inversion map sends n-cells to n-cells;
+(ii) g1, g2  G contained in some n1- and n2-cells respectively, g1g2 is contained in a cell of dimension  n1 + n2.
+These properties imply that the identity is a 0-cell.
+
+Example F.25. All discrete groups can be viewed as CW-groups with each group element viewed as a 0-cell.
+
+Example F.26. O(n), U (n), Sp(n), and SO(n) can all be given CW-group structures [94].
+
+F.2. Categories, functors, and natural transformations The definitions below are standard in category theory. See e.g. Ref. [95] for detail.
+
+Definition F.27 (category). A category C consists of
+(i) a class Obj(C) of objects;
+(ii) a class Mor(C) of morphisms (or arrows);
+(iii) a function dom : Mor(C)  Obj(C) called domain (or source) and a function cod : Mor(C)  Obj(C) called codomain (or target) � we denote by HomC (a, b) or simply Hom (a, b), called the hom-class, the class of morphisms with domain a and codomain b, and use f : a  b to indicate that dom(f ) = a and cod(f ) = b �
+(iv) a function
+
+id : Obj(C)  Mor(C) a  ida
+called identity; (v) for each triple (a, b, c) of objects, a map
+
+(133)
+
+Hom (a, b) � Hom (b, c)  Hom (a, c) (f, g)  g  f or gf
+
+(134)
+
+called composition � we say two morphisms f, g are composable if g  f is defined �
+
+such that the following axioms are satisfied: 1. associativity: (h  g)  f = h  (g  f ) for all composable morphisms f, g, h; 2. identity: ida  Hom (a, a) and idb f = f ida = f for all objects a, b and morphisms f  Hom (a, b).
+
+Example F.28. The category Set of sets has as objects the class of all sets, and as morphisms the class of all functions between sets. That is, Obj(Set) consists of all sets, and given sets a, b, Hom(a, b) consists of all functions from a to b. The composition is the usual composition of functions. Given a, ida is the constant function on a.
+
+Example F.29. The category Top of topological spaces has as objects all topological spaces, and as morphisms all maps between them.
+
+46
+
+Example F.30. The category Top of pointed topological spaces has as objects all pointed topological spaces, and as morphisms all pointed maps between them.
+Example F.31. The category Top2 of topological pairs has as objects all pairs (X, A) of topological spaces with A  X, and as HomTop2 ((X, A) , (Y, B)) all maps f : X  Y such that f (A)  B.
+Example F.32. The category Grp of groups has as objects all groups, and as morphisms all homomorphisms between them.
+Example F.33. The category Ab of discrete abelian groups has as objects all discrete abelian groups, and as morphisms all homomorphisms between them.
+Example F.34. The homotopy category Toph of topological spaces has as objects all topological spaces, and HomToph(X, Y ) := [X, Y ].
+Example F.35. The homotopy category Toph of pointed topological spaces has as objects all pointed topological spaces, and HomToph(X, Y ) := X, Y .
+Definition F.36. A monomorphism, epimorphism, or isomorphism is a morphism that is left-cancellative, right-cancellative, or invertible (in the two-sided sense), respectively. Recall that f is called left- or rightcancellative if f  g1 = f  g2  g1 = g2 or g1  f = g2  f  g1 = g2, respectively.
+Example F.37. A monomorphism, epimorphism, or isomorphism in Set is an injective, surjective, or bijective function, respectively.
+Example F.38. A monomorphism, epimorphism, or isomorphism in Top is an injective, surjective, or bijective map, respectively.
+Example F.39. A monomorphism, epimorphism, or isomorphism in Grp is an injective, surjective, or bijective homomorphism, respectively.
+Example F.40. An isomorphism in Toph or Toph is a homotopy equivalence or pointed homotopy equivalence, respectively.
+Definition F.41 (covariant functor). A covariant functor (or functor) F from category C to category D, often written F : C  D, consists of
+(i) a function F : Obj(C)  Obj(D); (ii) a function F : Mor(C)  Mor(D);
+such that the following axioms are satisfied: (i) F maps HomC(a, b) into HomD (F (a), F (b)) for all a, b  Obj(C); (ii) F (ida) = idF(ida) for all a  Obj(C);
+(iii) F(g  f ) = F(g)  F(f ) for all composable f, g  Mor(C).
+When F is clear from the context, one often writes f instead of F(f ).
+Definition F.42 (contravariant functor). A contravariant functor (or cofunctor) F from category C to category D, often written F : C  D (or F : Cop  Dop), consists of
+1. a function F : Obj(C)  Obj(D);
+47
+
+2. a function F : Mor(C)  Mor(D); such that the following axioms are satisfied:
+1. F maps HomC(a, b) into HomD (F (b), F (a)) for all a, b  Obj(C); 2. F (ida) = idF(ida) for all a  Obj(C); 3. F(g  f ) = F(f )  F(g) for all composable f, g  Mor(C). When F is clear from the context, one often writes f  instead of F(f ).
+
+Example F.43. The forgetful functor For : Top  Top is a covariant functor that assigns to each
+pointed topological space (X, x0) the topological space X with the basepoint forgotten, and to each pointed map f : (X, x0)  (Y, y0) the same f viewed as a map between unpointed topological spaces.
+
+Example F.44. The loop space functor  : Top  Top is a covariant functor that assigns to each (X, x0)  Top the loopspace X, and to each pointed map f : (X, x0)  (Y, y0) the map f : X  Y given by composition with f . That is, it sends a loop l : (S1, s0)  (X, x0) in (X, x0) to the loop f  l : (S1, s0)  (Y, y0) in (Y, y0).
+
+Example F.45. The classifying space functor B : Grp  Top is a covariant functor that assigns to each topological group G its classifying space BG, and to each homomorphism  : G  G a pointed map  : BG  BG (see App. F.4).
+
+Definition F.46 (natural transformation). Let F, G : C  D be covariant functors. A natural transformation T from F to G, often written T : F  G, is an assignment of a morphism T (a) : F(a)  G(a) to each a  Obj(C) such that the following diagram commutes for all a, b  Obj(C) and all f  HomC(a, b):
+
+F (a) T (a) G(a)
+
+F (f )
+
+G(f )
+
+F (b) T (b) G(b)
+
+(135)
+
+A natural transformation between contravariant functors is defined the same way but with the vertical arrows in the diagram reversed.
+
+Definition F.47 (natural isomorphism). A natural isomorphism T is a natural transformation with all T (a) being isomorphisms.
+
+F.3. Technical conventions It is not only mathematically customary, but also physically justifiable, to work with "nice" categories
+of topological spaces and groups, because after all, pathological spaces and groups may be unphysical. Throughout the paper, apart from Apps. F.1-F.3, the following conventions shall be observed (adapted from Ref. [77]):
+(i) Unless a topological construction makes it impossible18, all topological spaces shall be CW-complexes, and the basepoints of all pointed topological spaces shall be 0-cells.
+(ii) All subspaces of CW-complexes shall be subcomplexes.
+
+18For instance, the path or loop space of a pointed CW-complex may or may not be a pointed CW-complex. It is, however, always pointed homotopy equivalent to one [96].
+48
+
+(iii) All groups shall be CW-groups.
+(iv) All subgroups shall be subcomplexes.
+(v) All binary products of topological spaces shall be compactly generated products.
+(vi) All objects in Top, Top , Top2, Toph, Toph , and Grp shall be unpointed or pointed CWcomplexes or CW-groups, as appropriate.
+The CW approximation theorem implies that every topological space is weakly homotopy equivalent to a CW complex [78]. The following theorem (a generalization of Proposition 4.22 of Ref. [78]) then indicates that restricting to CW-complexes is hardly a loss of generality. It was also the reason why we were able to freely switch between homotopy equivalent spaces on numerous occasions in the main text.
+
+Theorem F.48. Let f : Y  Z be a homotopy equivalence, or more generally weak homotopy equivalence, between topological spaces Y and Z. Then the induced maps
+
+f : [X, Y ]  [X, Z] ,
+f : X, Y  X, Z , f  : [Z, X]  [Y, X] , f : Z, X  Y, X
+
+(136) (137) (138) (139)
+
+are bijections for all CW-complexes X.
+
+F.4. Generalized cohomology theories
+Definition F.49 (Eilenberg-Mac Lane space). Let G be a discrete group and n be a non-negative integer. If n > 1, we further require G to be abelian. A space X is called an Eilenberg-Mac Lane space K(G, n) if
+
+i(X) =
+
+G, 0,
+
+i = n, i = n,

+for non-negative integers i. K(G, n) exists and is unique up to homotopy equivalence. This allows us to abuse the terminology and speak of the Eilenberg-Mac Lane space K(G, n).
+
+Example F.50. RP , Z, S1, and CP  are K(Z2, 1), K(Z, 0), K(Z, 1), and K(Z, 2), respectively.
+
+Definition F.51 (classifying space). Let G be a group. A space BG is called a classifying space of G if there exists a principal G-bundle G : EG  BG satisfying either of the following equivalent conditions [77]:
+(i) Given any X, every principal G-bundle over X is isomorphic to the pull-back of G along a unique homotopy class of maps f : X  BG.
+(ii) The map
+
+is a bijection.
+
+[X, BG] 
+
+isomorphism classes of principal G-bundles over X
+
+[f ]  [f (G)]
+
+(141)
+
+BG exists and is unique up to homotopy equivalence.
+
+49
+
+Table 4: Examples of classifying spaces. Recall that BG is unique only up to homotopy equivalence. Given here are the
+
+most widely used models for G : EG  BG.

+
+S =  n=0Sn
+
+RP  =  n=0RP n Identify antipodes
+
+Some simple examples of classifying spaces are given in Table 4. It turns out [77, 78] that
+
+i (BG) = i-1(G).
+
+(142)
+
+Thus if G is a discrete group, then BG is a K(G, 1). More generally, if a group G is a K(G , n) as a topological space for some discrete G , then BG is a K(G , n + 1). This is consistent with Example F.50 and Table 4.
+
+Construction F.52 (explicit construction of classifying spaces). There is an explicit construction of  : EG  BG based on the usual geometric realization [77, 97]. It has the following properties:
+(i) Each EG is a CW-complex and each BG is a pointed CW-complex. (ii) B : Grp  Top is a covariant functor. (iii) B(G1 � G2) is homeomorphic to BG1 � BG2. (iv) B (G1 G2) homotopy equivalent to BG1 �G2 EG2. (v) BG can be given an abelian group structure if G is abelian.
+This will be our default model for BG.
+
+The last property enables us to iterate the construction to produce B2G, B3G, . . . when G is an abelian group. If G is in addition discrete, then BnG is a K(G, n).
+
+Definition F.53 (-spectrum). An -spectrum [75, 76, 78] is a family of pointed topological spaces
+
+indexed by integers,
+
+. . . , F-2, F-1, F0, F1, F2, . . .
+
+(143)
+
+together with pointed homotopy equivalences
+
+for all n.
+
+Fn - Fn+1
+
+(144)
+
+One can show that Fn determines all Fm's with m < n up to pointed homotopy equivalence. Moreover, shifting the index n turns an -spectrum into another -spectrum.
+
+Example F.54 (Eilenberg-Mac Lane spectrum). Given any discrete abelian group A, the EilenbergMac Lane spaces K(A, n) form an -spectrum, called the Eilenberg-Mac Lane spectrum of A [75, 76, 78]. More precisely, the Eilenberg-Mac Lane spectrum of A consists of
+
+Fn =
+
+K(A, n), pt,
+
+n  0, n < 0.

+
+A generalized cohomology theory [75, 76] is a theory that satisfies the first six of the seven EilenbergSteenrod axioms [98, 99] plus Milnor's additivity axiom [100]. Inclusion of the seventh, dimension axiom of Eilenberg and Steenrod's would force the theory to be an ordinary one. Here we define generalized cohomology theories in an equivalent but more compact way [78].
+
+Definition F.55 (reduced generalilzed cohomology theory). A reduced generalized cohomology theory consists of
+
+(i) a family of contravariant functors indexed by integers n;
+
+h~n : Top  Ab
+
+(146)
+
+(ii) a natural transformation, called the coboundary map,
+
+ : h~n(A)  h~n+1(X/A)
+
+(147)
+
+for topological pairs (X, A), for each n;
+
+such that the following axioms are satisfied: (i) homotopy: pointed homotopic maps in Top induce identical homomorphisms in Ab; (ii) exactness: given any pair (X, A), there is a long exact sequence
+
+� � � - h~n (X/A) -q h~n(X) -i h~n(A) - h~n+1 (X/A) -q h~n+1(X) -i h~n+1(A) - � � � (148)
+
+where i : A  X is the inclusion map and q : X X/A is the quotient map;
+
+(iii) wedge: given any family of pointed spaces, (X), the inclusion maps X  X induce an
+
+isomorphism
+
+h~n (X) -= h~n (X) .
+
+(149)
+
+
+
+Definition F.56 (unreduced generalized cohomology theory). An (unreduced) generalized cohomology theory consists of
+
+(i) a family of contravariant functors indexed by integers n;
+
+hn : Top2  Ab
+
+(150)
+
+(ii) a natural transformation, called the coboundary map,
+
+ : hn (A, )  hn+1 (X, A)
+
+(151)
+
+for topological pairs (X, A), for each n;
+
+such that the following axioms are satisfied: (i) homotopy: homotopic maps in Top2 induce identical homomorphisms in Ab; (ii) exactness: given any pair (X, A), there is a long exact sequence
+
+� � � - hn (X, A) -j hn (X, ) -i hn (A, ) - hn+1 (X, A) -j hn (X, ) -i hn (A, ) - � � � (152)
+
+where i : (A, )  (X, ) and j : (X, )  (X, A) are the inclusion maps.
+
+51
+
+(iii) excision: given a triple (X, A, B) with B  A  X, the quotient map (X, A)  (X/B, A/B) induces
+
+an isomorphism
+
+hn (X/B, A/B) -= hn (X, A) ;
+
+(153)
+
+(iv) additivity: given any family of pairs, (X, A), the inclusion maps (X, A)  (
+
+induce an isomorphism
+
+hn ( X, A) -= hn (X, A) .
+
+
+
+X,
+
+A) (154)
+
+Every reduced generalized cohomology theory canonically determines an unreduced generalized cohomology theory, and vice versa, as follows. Given a reduced theory h~, we define an unreduced theory h
+
+according to
+
+hn (X, A) := h~n (X/A) ,
+
+(155)
+
+with the convention X/ := X pt. Given an unreduced theory h, we define a reduced theory h~ according
+
+to
+
+h~n(X) := hn(X, pt).
+
+(156)
+
+To make contact with Definitions 3.1 and 3.2, we need the pivotal Brown representability theorem (see e.g. Ref. [101] or Theorems 4.58 and 4E.1 of Ref. [78]).
+
+Theorem F.57 (Brown representability theorem). Every -spectrum (Fn)nZ defines a reduced generalized cohomology theory h~ according to
+
+h~n (X) := X, Fn .
+
+(157)
+
+Conversely, every reduced generalized cohomolog theory can be represented by an -spectrum this way.
+
+Definitions 3.1 and 3.2 differ from Definitions F.56 and F.55 in two subtle ways, even when the
+
+Brown representability theorem is assumed. First, Definitions 3.1 and 3.2 treated -spectrum as part
+
+of the data of a generalized cohomology theory, but in reality different -spectra can represent the
+
+same theory (although, in the category of spectra, a representing spectrum is determined by the theory
+
+up to isomorphism, in view of the Yoneda lemma). It was because of the physical interpretations of
+
+-spectrum that we decided to treat it as part of the data. Second, in Definition 3.1, an unreduced
+
+generalized cohomology theory was only evaluated on individual spaces not pairs. The connection is
+
+given by
+
+hn(X) := hn(X, ).
+
+(158)
+
+It is then easy to show that
+
+hn(X) = [X, Fn]
+
+(159)
+
+for any -spectrum (Fn) that represents the corresponding reduced theory h~, in accord with Definition 3.1.
+
+Table 2 contains some classic generalized cohomology theories alongside with -spectra that represent
+
+them.

+A METHOD TO MEASURE THE UNBIASED DECORRELATION TIMESCALE OF THE AGN VARIABLE SIGNAL FROM STRUCTURE FUNCTIONS

+ABSTRACT
+A simple, model-independent method to quantify the stochastic variability of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) is the structure function (SF) analysis. If the SF for the timescales shorter than the decorrelation timescale  is a single power-law and for the longer ones becomes flat (i.e., the white noise), the auto-correlation function (ACF) of the signal can have the form of the power exponential (PE). We show that the signal decorrelation timescale can be measured directly from the SF as the timescale matching the amplitude 0.795 of the flat SF part (at long timescales), and only then the measurement is independent of the ACF PE power. Typically, the timescale has been measured at an arbitrarily fixed SF amplitude, but as we prove, this approach provides biased results because the AGN SF/PSD slopes, so the ACF shape, are not constant and depend on either the AGN luminosity and/or the black hole mass. In particular, we show that using such a method for the simulated SFs that include a combination of empirically known dependencies between the AGN luminosity L and both the SF amplitude and the PE power, and having no intrinsic  �L dependence, produces a fake   L relation with 0.3  0.6, that otherwise is expected from theoretical works (  0.5). Our method provides an alternative means for analyzing AGN variability to the standard SF fitting. The caveats, for both methods, are that the light curves must be sufficiently long (several years rest-frame) and the ensemble SF assumes AGNs to have the same underlying variability process.

+1. INTRODUCTION
+AGNs are known to be variable sources at all wavelengths (e.g., Mushotzky et al. 1993; Vanden Berk et al. 2004; Barvainis et al. 2005; McHardy et al. 2005; MacLeod et al. 2010; Ackermann et al. 2011; Kozlowski et al. 2016; Vagnetti et al. 2016), but the exact process leading to variability is still unknown, although simulations of accretion disk instabilities (Kawaguchi et al. 1998) have the closest variability pattern to observations in the optical bands (Chen & Taam 1995; Vanden Berk et al. 2004; Kozlowski 2016a). What is known, however, is that a typical AGN variability is of the stochastic nature (e.g., Kelly et al. 2009; Zu et al. 2013; Andrae et al. 2013; Kozlowski 2016a). This is frequently quantified by means of the power spectral density (PSD) that on the low frequencies shows a flat spectrum (the white noise; PSD  0) and
+simkoz@astrouw.edu.pl
+
+on the high frequencies appears to follow the red noise (PSD  -2) or even steeper dependence (PSD  -3; e.g., Mushotzky et al. 2011; Kasliwal et al. 2015a; Simm et al. 2016).
+A similar method of quantifying the AGN variability is the structure function (SF) analysis (e.g., Simonetti et al. 1984, 1985; Hughes et al. 1992; di Clemente et al. 1996; Collier & Peterson 2001; Emmanoulopoulos et al. 2010; MacLeod et al. 2012; Kozlowski 2016a). For a given time interval t (also called the time lag), all pairs of points are identified and then the rms of the magnitude differences is calculated. Typically SF, which measures the square root of the rms as a function of the time lag, at short time lags can be described as a single power-law (SPL) with a slope of   0.5 in optical-IR bands, corresponding to the PSD SPL slope of  = -2 (e.g., Collier & Peterson 2001; MacLeod et al. 2012; Kozlowski et al. 2016; Kozlowski 2016a) and on the long time lags it flattens to the SPL slope of  = 0. The time lag at which the SF changes slope is called the decorrelation timescale  (or
+
+2
+
+Szymon Kozlowski
+
+the break timescale, or the decorrelation frequency for PSD), because for the short time lags the data points are correlated and for the longer ones they become uncorrelated.
+It is of high interest to study the dependence of the decorrelation timescale on the physical parameters of AGNs, such as the black hole mass, the luminosity and/or the Eddington ratio, or its correlation with the dynamical, thermal, and/or viscous timescales in accretion disks (e.g., Siemiginowska & Czerny 1989; Collier & Peterson 2001; Czerny 2006; King 2008; Kelly et al. 2009; Edelson et al. 2014). But how one does actually measure it? Typically it has been estimated as the time lag at which the SF reaches a certain, arbitrarily selected SF amplitude. We will show that this is generally an incorrect procedure (although the only available for short light curves), because the variability process changes with the changing black hole mass and/or the luminosity (Simm et al. 2016; Kozlowski 2016a), and also the SF amplitude is correlated with the luminosity. As we will show this procedure is leading to a fake relation   L with 0.3  0.6, that is otherwise expected from the theory of accretion disks (  L0.5; e.g., Frank et al. 2002; MacLeod et al. 2010).
+In this paper, we present a method that under certain conditions (discussed in Section 3) produces a correct measurement of the decorrelation timescale. If the autocorrelation function (ACF) of the stochastic process is of the power exponential (PE) form (which is a reasonable assumption, as explained in Section 2), one can measure the decorrelation timescale directly from the data via the rest-frame time lag at which SF reaches the amplitude 0.795 of the flat SF part at long timescales. As we will show this is an unbiased measure of the decorrelation timescale, because it always returns the the actual decorrelation timescale (and not a biased fraction of it). One can obviously fit the SF to obtain the decorrelation timescale, however, the SF time lag bins are not independent producing the problems described in Emmanoulopoulos et al. (2010).
+In Section 2 we describe the AGN variability, while in Section 3 we discuss various problems related to the SF measurements and interpretations. The paper is summarized in Section 4.
+2. DESCRIPTION OF VARIABILITY
+A light curve yi composed of i = 1, . . . , N points, measured at times ti, can be represented as a sum of the signal si and the noise ni, i.e., yi = si + ni (e.g., Scargle 1981, 1982, 1989; Rybicki & Press 1992; Press et al. 1992a,b). Empirically, from a light curve we know only yi and we do not know directly si. We can study the general properties of the true signal si from
+
+the data yi using the covariance function, where we shift the copy of our light curve in time by the time difference (or the time lag) t = ti - tj and the jth index is for the copied light curve
+
+cov(yi, yj)  var(yi) - V (yi, yj),
+
+(1)
+
+where
+
+cov(yi, yj)  (yi - y )(yj - y ) ,
+
+(2)
+
+var(yi)  (yi - y )2 ,
+
+(3)
+
+V
+
+(yi,
+
+yj )
+
+
+
+1 2
+
+(yi - yj )2
+
+.
+
+(4)
+
+The covariance of the light curve with itself is the variance var(yi), V (yi, yj) is the theoretical structure function, and is the summation over all ij pairs in a narrow t range, divided by the number of such pairs. The theoretical SF is related to typically reported SFs via SF = 2V (in units of magnitude, that have more natural interpretation).
+From the definition and properties of the covariance, we can link the data to the signal via (from Equation 1)
+
+V (yi, yj) = var(si) + var(ni) - cov(si, sj) - cov(ni, nj) =
+
+= s2 + n2 - cov(si, sj),
+
+(5)
+
+where var(si)  s2, var(ni)  n2 (both the signal and noise are assumed to have the Gaussian properties), and cov(si, ni) = cov(ni, nj)  0 because the data are assumed here to be uncorrelated with the noise, and the noise is assumed to be uncorrelated with itself. It is also important to note that the process leading to variability must be stationary, because only then the variances and means do not change with time. The covariance function of the signal is related to the auto-correlation function as ACF (t)  cov(si, sj)/s2. The measured SF is then
+
+SFOBS(t) = 2s2(1 - ACF (t)) + 2n2 . (6)
+After subtracting the noise term (2n2 ) we have the true SF due to the variable signal only
+
+SF (t) = 2s2(1 - ACF (t)) =
+
+= SF 1 - ACF (t),
+
+(7)
+
+ where SF = 2s is the SF amplitude at
+
+timescales much longer than the decorrelation
+
+timescale (Collier & Peterson 2001; MacLeod et al.
+
+2010; Emmanoulopoulos et al. 2010; Kasliwal et al.
+
+2015a). Throughout this manuscript we will be
+
+discussing the noise-subtracted SFs.
+
+We are interested here in the ACF that has a form of
+
+the power exponential (PE)
+
+ACF (t) = exp -

+The Unbiased Decorrelation Timescale in AGNs from SFs
+
+3
+
+2.1. The Method
+It is straightforward to prove that for t =  , SF is an unbiased measure (in terms of the underlying process) of the decorrelation timescale, because the exponent then does not depend on  and all 0 <  < 2 SFs cross at the same point (Figure 1). The amplitude of this point is SF = SF 1 - exp(-1) = 0.795 SF. This simply means that once the measured SF reaches the flat part (SF) one can just read off the decorrelation timescale from the SF curve and it will be correct for the case of PE ACF regardless of the power.
+
+Figure 1. Structure functions (Eqn. (7)) corresponding to three ACFs with the PE power  = 0.5, 1.0 (DRW), and 1.5 (from left to right). The only unbiased measure of the true decorrelation timescale is for the variability amplitude of 0.795 SF. If the timescale is measured at a different amplitude, in this example 0.3 SF (the gray horizontal line), for  = 0.5 (1.0, 1.5), we in fact measure 0.9% (9.5%, 20%) of the true decorrelation timescale (the bottom inset shows projections of the three SFs below 0.3 SF onto the time lag axis).
+
+where 0 <   2 (e.g.; Zu et al. 2013), because it natu-
+
+rally produces an SF that has one SPL slope below the
+
+decorrelation timescale and another one (flat SF) for the
+
+longer timescales, a pattern observed in AGN SFs. This
+
+can be quantified by expanding the ACF into a Taylor
+
+series, where the only non-negligible terms for |t|  
+
+are 1 - (|t| -1), so the SF becomes an SPL of the
+
+form

+
+3. DISCUSSION
+Measuring either the SF amplitudes at a fixed timescale (e.g., Vanden Berk et al. 2004; Schmidt et al. 2010; Morganson et al. 2014; Kozlowski et al. 2016) or the timescales at the fixed SF amplitude (e.g., Findeisen et al. 2015; Caplar et al. 2016) are going to provide biased results because the AGN SF slopes at short time lags (or the PSD slopes at high frequencies) are not constant and appear to depend on either the luminosity and/or the black hole mass (Simm et al. 2016; Kozlowski 2016a). If the data are short and/or the break in the SF is not present, however, this is the only justified procedure to be used.
+The AGN variability amplitude is known to be anti-correlated with the luminosity (e.g., Angione & Smith 1972; Uomoto et al. 1976; Hook et al. 1994; Paltani & Courvoisier 1994; Giveon et al. 1999). In particular, Kozlowski (2016a) based on the SF analysis of the 9000 SDSS AGNs showed that the SF amplitude at long timescales (the flat part) is SF  L-(0.35�0.05). This means that with the increase of brightness by one magnitude the AGN variability amplitude decreases to about 72%. And in fact, the amplitude of the whole SF changes by this amount.
+Measuring the decorrelation timescale at a fixed SF amplitude (below 0.795 SF) introduces a bias, because for fainter AGNs with higher variability, the measured decorrelation timescale will appear shorter than the one for the brighter ones, even for the same intrinsic decorrelation timescale (Figure 2, top-left panel). In this example, we measure the time lag at 0.3 SF (the gray horizontal line). For the faint AGNs (that have set SF = 1.0 units) we measure 0.094 of the true decorrelation timescale, while for the brighter ones 0.151 (with set SF = 0.8 units). In other words, when SF is decreasing (along y-axis in Figure 2) because of the increasing L, this can be interpreted as a fake increase of  (with the increasing L) when measuring it at a constant SF level.
+While there exist an empirical evidence that the decor-

The filled large dots mark the decorrelation timescale at 0.795 SF, while the filled squares show the timescales at the fixed SF amplitude of 0.3 SF (the gray line). See Section 3 for a detailed discussion.
+relation timescale does not or weakly depend on the AGN luminosity but rather on the black hole mass,   L-(0.05�0.17)M (0.38�0.15) from Kozlowski (2016a), the theoretical predictions point to the form   L0.5 (Frank et al. 2002). In the top-right panel of Figure 2, we show what would happen if the decorrelation timescale had a positive correlation with the luminosity, namely the brighter the AGN the longer the timescale.
+Simm et al. (2016) showed that the PSD slope steepens with the increasing black hole mass, and Kozlowski (2016a) showed that the SF slope (  /2) steepens with the increasing luminosity as   L(0.10�0.03). In the bottom panels of Figure 2 we include this effect. This causes another bias because the measured time lag at 0.3 SF increases additionally for bright AGNs. When using the empirically measured relations SF  L-0.35 and   L0.1, the measurement of the timescale at a fixed amplitude (below 0.795 SF) produces an artificial relation   L with 0.3  0.6 that is otherwise expected from the theoretical standpoint, namely   L0.5, and the power of this artificial relation depends on what SF amplitude the  measurement is made.
+While it is not the goal of this paper to evaluate the biases of the SF amplitude at a fixed timescale, it is easy to decipher from Figure 2 what they would be. If all AGN variability was due to the same process (which is not the case) and the timescale were independent on luminosity (which appears to be the case), the measurement of the
+
+SF amplitude would be correct and the amplitude ratio from the bright and faint AGNs would correspond to the ratio of SF for these objects (Figure 2, top-left panel). If we added a theoretical positive correlation of the timescale with the luminosity, the SF amplitude at a fixed timescale would further decrease (Figure 2, top-right panel). Additional decrease will be observed for brighter AGNs because of the steepening of the SF slope (bottom panels of Figure 2). This means that one should seek a relation of SF with the physical AGN parameters and not an arbitrarily selected SF amplitude below the decorrelation timescale, that will be biased.
+Obtaining a meaningful SF from a single AGN light curve that typically is short and not well sampled is problematic, if not impossible. Emmanoulopoulos et al. (2010) have already studied and discussed various problems regarding this topic. In particular, they investigate the impact of data sampling and gaps, as well as data length on the SF measurements. The most interesting finding is that for light curves with no intrinsic decorrelation timescales (featureless PSD), breaks will appear in the SFs of almost all light curves, and they provide a rough guide at what timescales they should appear as a function of the experiment length and the PSD slope (their Figure 5). While for all considered types of samplings (dense, sparse, with/without gaps) the short time lag SF part appears to be nearly independent of the sampling, the SFs differ in shape after the spurious break.
+To explore some of these problems, we simulate three sets of 50 AGN light curves spanning 5000 days (13.7 years) with the same process having  = 1.0, SF = 0.25 mag, and for the decorrelation timescales of  = 0.5, 1, and 3 years, sampled every 10 days, so having 500 data points (using the prescription from Kozlowski et al. 2010). For every light curve, we calculate its SF (Figure 3, thin gray lines). The SF for the input process is shown as the thick black line in Figure 3. It is obvious that each individual SF differs from the input SF, because of the data sampling and due to different light curve realizations of the same process. We calculate the ensemble SF from the 50 light curves that is shown as the dotted black line in Figure 3. It closely resembles the input SF and we show that the measurement of  at 0.795 SF is adequate (as indicated by the uncertainties). Note, however, we assumed here a simplification by using the exact same process for all 50 light curves (identical process parameters, but different light curve realizations). It is not clear if this assumption holds for the variability processes for a collection of true AGNs with similar physical parameters, although this is what is commonly assumed.
+While this question still awaits to be answered, MacLeod et al. (2008) show that ensemble SFs from

+Figure 3. Structure functions for 50 simulated AGN light curves (gray lines) for the same DRW process with SF = 0.25 mag and INPUT = 0.5 year (left panel), 1 year (middle), and 3 years (right). The input SF for the DRW process is shown as the black solid line and the ensemble SF is shown as the black dotted line. Emmanoulopoulos et al. (2010) already shown that individual SFs "suffer" from wiggles and/or breaks that are due to the light curve length and cadence. Infinitely long and well-sampled light curves would asymptotically produce the input SFs. A similar effect occurs when one merges a number of individual SFs (the ensemble SF), however, it is not clear if AGNs with similar physical parameters should have the same process leading to variability (although this is commonly assumed). The measured decorrelation timescale OUTPUT is estimated at 0.795 SF (marked with dot) and can be well-determined from ensemble SFs, provided the data are sufficiently long to constrain SF. The horizontal error bar shows the asymmetric one side dispersions, while the reported uncertainties are these dispersions divided by 25 (for each side separately).
+
+two-epoch data provide quantitatively similar results to those based on light curves with many epochs.
+Another potential problem is mentioned by Emmanoulopoulos et al. (2010), who argued that fitting a model to the SFs is an intrinsically incorrect procedure because the time lag bins are not independent, the SF uncertainties appear too small, and the bootstrap method yields statistically meaningless SF error bars (these problems were also identified and discussed in Kozlowski 2016a). We provide here a method of determination of the decorrelation timescale that is not based on SF fitting, so once the flat part of the SF can be identified,  can be just "read off" from the SF at 0.795 SF level. In practice, however, reaching the SF level may be problematic, because one needs to collect many light curves that are several years long in rest-frame, so for distant AGNs meaning plausibly decades. As already mentioned, also the assumption that an ensemble of light curves for many AGNs can be treated as representative for the group, has not been verified. It is plausible that AGNs with similar or identical physical parameters (the BH mass and luminosity) will have variability that is due to different processes, so ensemble variability studies may not be valid.
+Kelly et al. (2011) proposed a sophisticated method of analyzing individual AGN light curves with a mixture of DRW processes, and pointed out that such a mixture can result in a range of PSD slopes. It is likely, however, that most near-future individual light curves will be either short or not well sampled to enable secure
+
+determination of the model parameters for large AGN samples, so ensemble SFs will be a must (although see the caveats from the previous paragraph).
+4. SUMMARY
+In this paper, from basic properties of the covariance of the variable signal in the data, we derived a method of measurement the decorrelation timescale for AGN light curves that always provides the actual and processindependent value. It is valid for SFs that at short time lags show a single power-law behavior and on the long ones appear to be flat, hence the ACF of the process can be of the power exponential type. The decorrelation timescale should be measured at 0.795 of the SF amplitude at the long timescales (after the photometric noise is removed). We also showed that when using the empirically established relations SF  L-0.35 and   L0.1, the measurement of the timescale at a fixed SF amplitude (below 0.795 SF) produces an artificial non-existing relation,   L with 0.3  0.6 (e.g.,  = 0.4 found by Caplar et al. 2016), that is otherwise expected from the theory of accretion disks (i.e.,   0.5).
+While individual SFs for typical AGN light curves, that are short and sparsely sampled, are rarely meaningful (Emmanoulopoulos et al. 2010), we showed that ensemble SFs from many AGNs would yield reliable decorrelation timescales for a whole class (having assumed identical variability parameters for individual objects). This is of particular importance because deep, large, optical sky surveys aiming at variability (such as (in the
+
+6
+

+
+alphabet order) Catalina/CRTS, DES, Gaia, LaSillaQuest, LSST, OGLE, PanStarrs, and SDSS/BOSS) have already or will provide in the near future light curves for thousands or hundreds of thousands of AGNs. The problem that these data will face, however, is their length and/or cadence. AGNs are typically distant sources with significant redshifts z, so the rest frame data lengths, in fact, will be shorter by a factor of (1+z). Such SFs may not probe sufficiently long timescales (SF) to measure the decorrelation timescale reliably. Building the ensemble SFs may remain the main tool for these data sets, because the sparseness/length of light curves may prevent their direct modeling (for most of the surveys; see Kozlowski 2016d). The caveat is that the assumption that an ensemble of light curves for many AGNs can be treated as representative for the group has not been verified, but is commonly assumed.
+The consecutive SDSS Quasar Data Releases (e.g.,
+
+Schneider et al. 2010; Pa^ris et al. 2016) have provided increasingly rich databases of AGN properties that include now 280,000 black hole mass estimates, the luminosities, and the Eddington ratios (e.g., Shen et al. 2011; Kozlowski 2016c) distributed over a quarter of the sky, enabling unprecedented studies of the connection between the AGN variability and the underlying AGN physics. The forthcoming decades are guaranteed to bring many new and exciting developments in this field of research.

+Beijing Normal University, Beijing 100875, China
+ABSTRACT We show that in D = 2n+1 dimensions, when mass is negative and all angular momenta are non-vanishing, Kerr and Kerr-AdS metrics describe smooth time machines, with no curvature singularity. Turning off the angular momenta appropriately can lead to static AdS solitons with negative mass. Setting zero the cosmological constant yields a class of Ricci-flat Ka�hler metrics in D = 2n dimensions. We also show that Euclidean-signatured AdS solitons with negative mass can also arise in odd dimensions. We then construct time machines in D = 5 minimal gauged supergravity that carry only magnetic dipole charges. Turning off the cosmological constant, the time machine becomes massless and asymptotically flat. It can be described as a constant time bundle over the Eguchi-Hanson instanton.

+1 Introduction
+This paper studies the properties of the general Kerr metrics with or without a cosmological constant, when they do not describe rotating black holes. The Kerr metric [1] of a rotating black hole that is asymptotic to four-dimensional Minkowski spacetime is far more subtle to construct than the static Schwarzschild metric [2] with spherical symmetry. The solution was generalized by Carter [3] to include a cosmological constant and the metric describes a rotating back hole in de Sitter (dS) or anti-de Sitter (AdS) spacetimes for positive or negative cosmological constants respectively. Inspired by string theory, Kerr metrics in higher dimensions were constructed in [4]. Kerr-(A)dS metric in five dimensions were constructed
+
+2
+
+in [5], motivated by the AdS/CFT correspondence [6]. The Kerr-(A)dS metrics in general dimensions were later constructed in [7, 8].
+One fascinating feature of Riemannian geometry is that a local metric may extend onto very different manifolds in different coordinate patches. For example, a five-dimensional Kerr-AdS "over-rotating" metric is equivalent, after performing a coordinate transformation, to an under-rotating Kerr-AdS metric [9]. Kerr and particularly Kerr-AdS metrics are very complicated in general dimensions and it is quite possible that these local metrics can describe spacetimes other than rotating black holes. Indeed, we find that when the mass is negative, the local metrics in D = 2n + 1 can describe a smooth time machine, provided that all independent orthogonal angular momenta are turned on. In this paper we adopt the definition of time machine in [10]. In such a time machine, the spacetime closes off at some Euclidean pseudo horizon at the price that the real time coordinate becomes periodic. The curvature power-law singularity is outside the spacetime. The conclusion holds for both asymptotically-flat or AdS solutions.
+Turning off the angular momenta appropriately, we obtain AdS solitons with negative mass. These solutions with general parameters are of multi-cohomogeneity. If the starting Kerr-AdS metrics have equal angular momenta and hence are cohomogeneity one, the corresponding AdS solitons are also cohomogeneity one, with level surfaces as S2n-1/Zk. Such a five-dimensional AdS soliton was previously constructed in [11, 12]. Ours generalize to arbitrary 2n + 1 dimensions and multi-comohogeneity.
+We can set the cosmological constants of the AdS solitons to zero, and the resulting solutions are direct products of time and a class of D = 2n Ricci-flat metrics. The special case of cohomogeneity-one solutions are the Eguchi-Hanson (EH) instanton and its higherdimensional generalizations.
+The paper is organized as follows. In section 2, we begin with the D = 5 example, and then demonstrate that all Kerr or Kerr-AdS metrics in odd dimensions with negative mass can have the smooth time-machine configuration when all the angular momenta are turned on. In section 3, we concentrate on Kerr-AdS metrics in odd dimensions and obtain the static limit that describes soliton configruations with negative mass. In section 4, we turn off the cosmological constant of the soliton configurations and obtain a class of Ricciflat metrics in D = 2n dimensions. In section 5, we perform Wick rotation on the Kerr metrics and find that in odd dimensions, the Euclidean-signatured solitons can also have negative mass. In section 6, we consider charged Kerr-AdS solution in five-dimensional minimal gauged supergravity and obtain the analogous limit of time machines that carry
+3
+
+magnetic dipole charges. Turning off the gauging, we obtain a massless asymptotically-flat time machine that is a constant time bundle over the EH instanton. We conclude the paper in section 7.
+
+2 Time machines with negative mass
+In this section, we consider Kerr and Kerr-AdS metrics in odd D = 2n + 1 dimensions. We show that when mass is negative, the metrics can describe smooth time machines where geodesic complete on some Euclidean Killing horizons, provided that all angular momenta are turned on. The conclusion is true for both asymptotically flat or AdS metrics. For this reason, we focus on the discussion on Kerr-AdS metrics to avoid the repetition of discussing the Kerr and Kerr-AdS metrics separately. However, since our results are applicable for both types of metrics, we shall not emphasise the word AdS.

+We start with a class of rotating metrics in five dimensions with the level surfaces as
+
+squashed S3 written as a U (1) bundle over S2:
+
+ds25 f
+
+= =
+
+dr2 f

+

+=

+2� r4W
+
+dt .
+
+(2.1)
+
+Here the metric d22 and 1-form 3 are given by
+
+d22 = d2 + sin2  d2 ,
+
+3 = d + cos d .
+
+(2.2)
+
+The metric for the unit round S3 is given by
+
+d23
+
+=
+
+1 4
+
+32 + d22
+
+.
+
+(2.3)
+
+Thus the metric (2.1) for constant t and r describes squashed S3 with W as the squashing
+
+parameter. Metrics (2.1) are all Einstein with R� = -4g2g� , where constant 1/g is the AdS
+radius. The solutions are specified by two integration constants (�, ). (There should be
+
+no confusion between (�, ) as the spacetime indices and as integration constants of the
+
+solutions.) The invariant Riemann tensor squared is

+
+Thus there is only one power-law curvature singularity at r = 0. Depending on the values of the constants (�, ), the metrics can extend smoothly onto very different manifolds. When � = 0 = , the metrics become the AdS5 vacuum in global coordinates. Thus the metrics all approach AdS asymptotically at the r   region. In particular, when � > 0 and  = 0, the metric is the well-known Schwarzschild-AdS solution. We now give the list of (�, ) values for which the power-law curvature singularity at r = 0 can be either unreachable geodesically or hidden inside an event horizon
+� � > 0 and  > 0: Rotating black hole with equal angular momenta and positive mass, which we shall give a quick review in the next subsection 2.1.2.
+� � < 0 and  < 0: Time machine with equal angular momenta and negative mass, which we shall discuss in 2.1.3.
+� � = 0 and  < 0: AdS static soliton with negative mass, which we shall discuss in section 3.
+� � < 0, the metric becomes real if we make a Wick rotation t = i  , giving rise to Einstein-Riemannian geometry. We shall discuss this in section 5.
+
+2.1.2 Rotating black hole
+
+We first consider the case with � > 0 and  > 0. The metric describes a rotating black
+
+hole that is non-rotating asymptotically. The event horizon is located at r = r0 > 0 that is the largest real root of f (r). A necessary condition for the existence of such a root is 1 - g2/� > 0. We can express � in terms of r0 and :

+
+(2.5)
+
+Following the standard technique, we obtain the thermodynamical quantities including the
+
+mass M , angular momentum J, angular velocity +, temperature T and entropy S.

+
+(2.7)
+

+
+Note that in five dimensions, there are in general two independent angular momenta and
+
+the corresponding Kerr-AdS metric was constructed in [5]. The above solution describes
+
+the one with equal angular momenta. An important difference between the black hole and the time machine to be studied in
+
+the next subsection is the characteristics of the Killing horizon at r = r0. The null Killing vector on the horizon, which is a degenerate surface, is given by
+
+
+
+=
+
+ t
+
++
+
++
+
+ 
+
+.
+
+(2.8)
+
+The surface gravity  on the horizon can be obtained from the null Killing vector as

+2
+
+=
+
+-
+
+g�
+
+�2 42
+
+2
+
+= (2T )2 .
+
+(2.9)
+
+The surface gravity defined above with a minus sign implies that the imaginary time is periodic leading to black hole temperature. It also implies that geodesics do not complete
+
+on the event horizon and there is an interior region.
+
+2.1.3 Time machine
+The thermodynamical quantities (2.6) imply that for the metric (2.1) to describe a black hole, we must have that � and  are both non-negative. However, the local solution (2.1) is real as long as we have �  0. It is thus of interest to study the global structure of (2.1) when � and  are both negative instead. Let
+
+- � =   0 , - =   0 .
+
+(2.10)
+
+The solution (2.1) becomes

+(2.11)
+
+The metric is still asymptotic to AdS5, but with mass and angular momentum given by

+

+
+
+
+ .
+
+(2.12)
+
+Thus the solution has negative mass, with no lower bound. Naively, one would expect that the metric would then have naked curvature singularity. This is indeed the case when  = 0, corresponding to the Schwarzschild-AdS solution with negative mass. However, if  is non-vanishing, the manifold described by this metric is smooth, with the local r = 0 power-law singularity outside the manifold.
+

+
+As the radial coordinate r decreases from the asymptotic infinity, we come across a
+
+special
+
+point
+
+r
+
+=
+
+
+
+1 4
+
+for
+
+which
+
+W

+=

+
+This
+
+is
+
+neither
+
+coordinate
+
+nor
+
+curvature
+
+singularity,
+
+but a velocity of light surface (VLS). Inside the VLS, we have g < 0. In other words,
+
+the periodic coordinate  becomes time like, giving rise to naked CTCs. Thus the metric
+
+describes a time machine, with the VLS as its boundary.
+
+As r decreases further, at r = r0 > 0, we have f (r0) = 0. This corresponds to a Killing
+
+horizon. The null Killing vector (of zero length) is given by
+
+
+
+=
+
+r02 (1 + g2r02)  + 2r02(1 + g2r02)2

+
+It is easy to verify that the surface gravity  defined in (2.9) is negative, giving rise to
+
+imaginary temperature
+
+T
+
+=
+
+i 2
+
+.
+
+(2.14)
+
+It is thus more natural to define a "Euclidean surface gravity" E as
+
+2E

+
+�2 42
+

+
+.
+
+(2.15)
+
+The Killing horizon with a real Euclidean surface gravity is called Euclidean pseudo horizon,
+
+on which conical singularity can arise potentially.
+
+A simplest example of Euclidean pseudo horizon occurs in two-dimensional flat space
+
+written in polar coordinates ds2 = d2 + 2d2. The Killing vector  =  is null, i.e. having zero length, in the middle  = 0, with E = 1. The metric describes Euclidean R2 if  = 2, in which case  = 0 is just an ordinary point in R2. If  = 2, the metric is
+
+of a cone with the tip at  = 0.
+
+It is easy to verify that for the Killing vector 1, we have 2E = 1. Thus, for the time machine to avoid conic singularity, 1 must likewise generate 2 period. In other words, it is the real time coordinate rather than the imaginary time coordinate that must be periodic.
+
+Once this is imposed, the geodesic completes and spacetime closes off at the Killing horizon.
+
+The local r = 0 singularity is then outside the manifold. It should be emphasized that the
+
+existence of the Killing horizon r = r0 is independent of whether the cosmological constant  = -4g2 vanishes or not. It follows that the above result is applicable also for the
+
+asymptotically-flat cases.
+
+In the standard embedding of AdS5 in the (4 + 2) flat spacetime, time t in global
+
+coordinates
+
+is
+
+periodic.
+
+The
+
+Killing
+
+vectors
+
+0
+
+=
+
+1 g
+
+ t
+
+and
+
+2
+
+=
+
+2
+
+ 
+
+both
+
+generate
+
+2
+
+period.
+
+7
+
+It follows from (2.13) that (0, 1, 2) are linearly dependent. The consistency requires that coefficients are co-prime integers, namely
+
+n00 = n11 + n22 .
+
+(2.16)
+
+Comparing this to (2.13), we conclude that the dimensionless parameters (gr0, g2) or the original (g4, g2) of the asymptotically-AdS time machines can be expressed in terms of
+
+two rational numbers. Note that the period of 1 has to be strictly 2 to avoid conic singularity. The period of  can be further divided by integer k without introducing singularity,
+
+corresponding to AdS5/Zk. We can also divide or multiply the period t by an integer, corresponding to the quotient or multi-covering of the AdS.
+
+When g = 0, we have an asymptotically-flat time machine with equal angular momenta.
+
+In
+
+this
+
+case,
+
+the
+
+Killing
+
+vector
+
+ t
+
+is
+
+not
+
+periodic
+
+a
+
+priori,
+
+and
+
+hence
+
+there
+
+is
+
+no
+
+extra
+
+constraint such as (2.16).
+
+It is worth commenting that in the case of the rotating black hole discussed in subsection
+
+2.1.2, the event-horizon topology is 3-sphere. To be specific, the horizon geometry is a squashed 3-sphere, written as a U (1) bundle over S2. For the time machine discussed in
+
+this section, the Euclidean pseudo horizon is Minkowski signatured, and it is a constant
+
+time bundle over S2. It is also rather counterintuitive that not only the time-machine mass
+
+is negative, it has no lower bound.
+
+Finally it is also worth commenting that if the function f (r) had a double zero, there
+
+would be no need for periodic identification of the real time coordinate. The resulting
+
+spacetime is called a repulson [14]. None of the examples studied in detail in this paper
+
+exhibits repulson-like behavior.
+
+2.2 D = 2n + 1 time machines with equal angular momenta
+
+The five-dimensional time machine discussed in the previous subsection can be easily gen-
+
+eralized to all D = 2n + 1 dimensions. We start with the Kerr-AdS black holes with all
+
+equal angular momenta. The Kerr-Schild form was given in [7]. The Boyer-Lindquist form
+
+was presented in [16], given by

+
+dimensions. When n = 2, the solution reduces to (2.1).
+

+
+Since  and  are positive, the solutions all have negative mass, with no lower bound. When  = 0, the solution becomes the Schwarzschild-AdS metric with negative mass,
+and hence the power-law curvature singularity at r = 0 is naked. If on the other hand
+
+9
+
+ > 0, no matter how small or big, there is a Killing horizon at r = r0 > 0 where f (r0) = 0.
+
+The corresponding null Killing vector takes the form

+.
+
+(2.25)
+
+The overall scaling of the Killing vector is chosen such that the Euclidean surface gravity
+
+is unit, as in (2.15). Consequently, r = r0 is a pseudo horizon where geodesic completes
+
+provided that  generates 2 period. It is easy to see that on the Killing horizon, g =
+
+r0W (r0)

+<
+

+
+The

+
+The event horizon is located at V - 2m = 0. Indeed the determinant of the sub-manifold
+
+of constant r slice has a factor of (V - 2m), but Riemann tensor invariants are regular at
+
+10
+
+V - 2m = 0. These show that V - 2m = 0 gives a degenerate surface, with only coordinate
+
+singularity.
+
+We now consider the case with m < 0. Naively, one might expect that the solutions
+
+have a naked power-law curvature singularity, since it is clear that V - 2m = 0 cannot
+
+be satisfied for any real r. However, the fact is that as long as rotating parameters ai's
+
+are all non-vanishing, the geodesic does complete at some Euclidean Killing horizon before
+
+reaching the singularity. To see this, it is important to note that r = 0 is not a curvature
+
+singularity when all ai = 0. Instead curvature singularities are located at r2 + a2i = 0, together with appropriate �j's for each i. In other words, there is nothing special at r = 0 and the geodesic can extend further into the r2 < 0 region. Then it is easy to see that
+
+when all ai = 0 and m is negative, no matter how small or big |m| is, there exists a pure
+
+imaginary r0 with
+
+- a2i < r02 < 0 , for all i = 1, 2, . . . n,
+
+(2.29)
+
+such that V - 2m = 0. The r = r0 surface gives rise to a Killing horizon. It is also straightforward to verify that on the Killing horizon there are CTCs. For example,
+
+gii
+
+�i =1
+
+=
+
+(r02 + a2)2 2i r02
+
+<
+
+0,
+
+for all i = 1, 2, . . . n.
+
+(2.30)
+
+This implies that the Killing horizon is a pseudo horizon where geodesic completes provided
+
+that the appropriate null Killing vector generates 2 period, as was discussed in the case of
+
+equal angular momenta. It is also important to note that from the definition of V in (2.27)
+
+we conclude that the existence of the Euclidean Killing horizon is independent of whether
+
+the cosmological constant parameter g2 vanishes or not. Hence the conclusion is applicable
+
+for both asymptotically-flat or AdS solutions.
+
+It is perhaps convenient to introduce n + 1 new parameters, (�, 1, . . . , n), and express m and ai in terms of these parameters

+For the metric to describe a rotating black hole, the parameters (�, i) must be non-negative. However, the reality condition of the metric only requires that �i  0 for all i. Thus we can take all the parameters (�, i) to be negative. The solutions then describe a general
+
+11
+
+class of time machines with negative mass. When i =  for all i, they reduce to the cohomogeneity-one metrics discussed earlier.
+The situation is very different in D = 2n even dimensions, for which there are only (n - 1) independent orthogonal rotations. The Kerr-AdS metrics are [7, 8]

+As in the case of odd dimensions, the determinant of the submanifold of constant r slice

+Thus in even dimensions, the coordinate r cannot be purely imaginary. The r = 0 is a
+
+spacetime power-law curvature singularity. It follows that for m < 0, the quantity (V - 2m)
+
+cannot vanish for any r > 0 and hence there is no degenerate surface. The singularity at
+
+r = 0 is thus naked.
+
+2.4 Further time machines
+For the time machine metric (2.23) to be Einstein, the CPn-1 metric d2n-1 can be replaced by any Einstein-Ka�lher metrics, at the expense that the asymptotic regions are no longer AdS. When the base is a direct product of multiple Einstein-Ka�hler spaces, there is a subtlety that the period associated with the fibre 1-form  must be consistent with all these factors of the base [17]. Here we present an example in seven dimensions where d22 is
+
+12
+
+replaced by the metric of S2 � S2:

+For this solution, the level surfaces are not of S5 but the T 1,1 space. The asymptotic region is no longer AdS7, and boundary is T � T 1,1, instead of T � S5. The Killing horizon and the period of associated null Killing vector can be easily determined.
+
+3 AdS Solitons with negative mass
+In the previous sections, we find that in odd dimensions, when mass is negative, Kerr or Kerr-AdS metrics with all angular momenta turned on describe smooth time machines. We now consider the possibility of turning off all the angular momenta. There are two ways of doing this. The trivial way leads simply to the Schwarzschild metrics with negative mass. An alternative limit can lead to static solitons. Negative mass solitons emerge only when there is a cosmological constant. When the cosmological constant is zero, the mass vanishes, and we shall study this in section 4.
+
+3.1 Cohomogeneity-one metrics
+
+In the typical way of writing Kerr-AdS black holes, the mass M and angular momentum J are expressed in terms of m and a. Turning off the angular momentum parameter a has the effect of reducing the metric to the Schwarzschild black hole. In our parametrization (2.6), we can have two manifest ways of turning off the angular momentum. The first is to set  = 0, corresponding to setting a = 0, giving rise to the usual Schwarzschild black hole. The alternative is to set � = 0, corresponding to setting a  , and we have a new non-trivial static configuration. It follows from (2.1) that when � = 0 and  = - is negative, we obtain a static soliton in five dimensions. For general dimensions, we start with the time-machine solution (2.23) and set  = 0, we have

+(3.6)
+
+This solution was first obtained in [11, 12]. (The local metric with a positive cosmological constant in Euclidean signature was constructed earlier in [18], which can describe smooth compact manifolds.) When the cosmological constant vanish, i.e. g = 0, the metric is a direct product of time and the EH instanton [13]. The global analysis for (3.6) was performed and descretized negative mass was obtained. The negativeness of the soliton mass was demonstrated also using holographic stress energy in [11, 12] and the Noether procedure [19]. In our approach, the solutions were obtained in some special limit of KerrAdS metrics, and hence the mass formula is a direct consequence of that of Kerr-AdS black holes.
+
+3.2 First-order equations without superpotential
+It is well-known that EH instanton can be obtained from a set of first-order equations associated with some superpotential. It turns out that the solitons (3.1) in general odd dimensions can also arise from a set of first-order equations. For simplicity, we demonstrate
+14
+
+this explicitly in five dimensions and show that the static soliton (3.6) can arise as solutions
+
+of some first-order differential equations, instead of Einstein's second-order equations of
+
+motion. However, we also demonstrate that there is no superpotential associated with this
+
+first-order system.
+
+The most general ansatz for static metrics with the SU (2) � U (1) isometry of squashed
+
+S3 is
+
+ds2 = d2 - a2dt2 + b232 + c2d22 ,
+
+(3.7)
+
+where the metric d2 and 1-form 3 are given in (2.2) and (a, b, c) are functions of the radial
+
+coordinate . A dot denotes a derivative with respect to . For the metric to be Einstein
+
+with R� + 4g2g� = 0, the (a, b, c) functions satisfy

+
+(3.8)
+
+We find that there exists a set of first-order equations that can solve the above second-order
+
+equations of motion, namely

+a = 2g2ab , 1 + 4g2c2

+
+(3.9)
+
+It is easy to verify that these first-order equations yield precisely the soliton solution (3.6).
+
+We now demonstrate that this first-order system is not associated with any superpo-
+
+tential. To see this, it is convenient to define a new radial coordinate , related to  by
+
+d = abc2d. In this system, the effective Lagrangian is given by L = T - V where

+
+(3.13)
+
+It is easy to verify that the above equations do not satisfy the integrability condition unless g = 0, in which case we have U = a(b2 + 2c2). This is precisely the superpotential for generating the EH instanton. For non-vanishing g, on the other hand, although we have the first-order equation (3.9), there is no superpotential associated with the system.
+
+3.3 Higher-cohomogeneity solitons
+
+3.3.1 D = 5
+
+The local solutions of the static solitons were obtained by taking a limit from Kerr-AdS metrics such that the two equal angular momenta vanish whilst the mass is non-vanishing. Such a limit typically leads to the Schwarzschild-AdS black holes. However, as we have shown in the previous subsection, there can be an alternative limit. This new limit can be performed also for the Kerr-AdS metrics with two general angular momenta. We start with the five-dimensional Kerr-AdS black hole constructed in [5], which involves three parameters, (m, a, b). Since we shall use the exact convention for the metric presented in [5], we shall not give it here. The mass and angular momenta are given by [16]
+
+M
+
+=
+
+m(2a
+
++ 2b - 42a2b

+ma 22ab
+
+,
+
+Jb
+
+=
+
+mb 22b a
+
+,
+
+(3.14)
+
+where a = 1 - a2g2 and b = 1 - b2g2. Setting a = b = 0 turns off the angular momenta
+
+and
+
+gives
+
+rise
+
+to
+
+the
+
+Schwarzschild-AdS
+
+black
+
+hole
+
+of
+
+mass
+
+M
+
+=
+
+3 4
+
+m.
+
+We would like
+
+instead to send a, b, m to infinity such that we have Ja, Jb  0 while keeping M finite and
+
+non-vanishing. To be specific, we scale the parameters
+
+a = a~ ,
+
+b = ~b
+
+m

+=
+
+1 2
+
+4
+

+

+
+If the inequality is saturated, (r) has a double zero and the metric has a power-law
+
+curvature singularity at r = (a2 + b2)/2 and  = /4. It is of interest to note that not
+
+only the mass can be negative, but also there is no lower bound.
+

+
+All three Killing vectors must generate 2 period in order to avoid conical singularity. On

+
+We shall not classify all possible (n1, n2, n3) that could arise. Instead, we present an exam-
+
+ple: (n1, n2, n3) = (1, 2, 5), which implies that a = 0.713b and m = 3.77/g4 and r0 = 1.47b.
+
+In fact there is a further subtle conic singularity. As was noted in [21], the Killing vectors
+
+(1, 3)
+

+(2, 3)
+

+
+In
+
+Euclidean signature, any linear combination of two null Killing vectors is also null, and
+
+hence (n33 - n11) or (n33 - n22) must generate also 2 period. The consistency then
+
+requires that n1 = n2 = 1. This corresponds to the cohomogeneity-one solutions with
+
+a = b, discussed earlier. The example of (n1, n2, n3) = (1, 2, 5) still have a conic singularity

+
+four dimensional with d2 + 2d~ 2, where d~ 2 is not a round S3, but a lens space. For the
+
+specific (n1, n2, n3) = (1, 2, 5) example, the lens space is S3/Z2, giving rise to the R4/Z2
+
+orbifold singularity. Such singularity can be resolved by an EH instanton whose asymptotic
+
+region is precisely R4/Z2 [22].
+
+3.3.2 D = 2n + 1
+
+We obtain some non-trivial static soliton solutions from Kerr-AdS5 metrics by taking some
+
+appropriate limit (3.15). Under this limit, all angular momenta vanish, whilst the mass
+
+becomes a finite negative number. The resulting metric is specified by three integration
+
+constants. This procedure can be generalized to general odd dimensions. Kerr-AdS metrics
+
+in general dimensions were constructed in [7, 8], involving a mass parameter m and n =
+
+[(D - 1)/2] parameters ai for angular momenta. The mass and angular momenta are given
+
+in (2.28) and (2.34) for odd and even dimensions.
+
+We can turn off the angular momenta by setting ai = 0, leading to the Schwarzschild-
+

+
+4 Ricci-flat instantons in D = 2n dimensions
+In the previous section, we obtained large classes of static AdS solitons in D = 2n + 1 dimensions. For the cohomogeneity-one metrics (3.1), it can be easily seen that in the g = 0 limit, the resulting spacetime is a direct product of time and the D = 2n gravitational instanton that is a higher-dimensional generalization of the EH instanton. The metric (3.1) was generalized to multi-cohomogeneity metrics (3.17) in D = 5 and (3.27) in D = 2n + 1. In this section, we perform a further g = 0 limit on (3.17) and (3.27) and obtain Ricci-flat gravitational instantons in D = 2n dimensions.
+

+
+4.1 D = 4
+
+We start with the five-dimensional Einstein metric (3.17) and reparameterize the (a, b, ) constants as
+
+a2 = a20(1 - g22) ,
+
+b2 = a20(1 + g22) ,

+

+

+(4.5)
+
+Thus the metric is the Ricci-flat and BPS limit of the general Plebanski solutions [23].
+
+When  = 0, the metric is the EH instanton. For  = 0, the curvature singularity is located

+number, then we have

+2q3 = (q - p)1 + (q + p)2 .
+
+(4.7)
+
+20
+
+It follows from (3.22) that n1 = (q - p), n2 = q + p and n3 = 2q. Further regularity conditions follow the same procedure described in subsection 3.3.1. The existence of the ADE-type conical codimension-3 singularity, albeit may be resolved, suggests that these metrics are outside the classes of Gibbons-Hawking instantons [24, 25]. Furthermore, the relation (4.7) implies that the asymptotic regions are cones of more general lens spaces, rather than the S3/Zk+1 for k number of EH instantons.
+
+4.2 D = 2n
+
+For general even dimensions, we start with the Einstein metric (3.27) and reparameterize the integration constants

+

+
+All these

+
+they must all generate 2 period to avoid conical singularities. We shall study the global
+
+21
+
+structure of these metrics in a future publication since these massless solutions are outside the scope of this paper. We expect all these metrics are Ricci-flat Ka�her, locally the same as those BPS limits of Kerr-AdS-NUT solutions obtained in [26]. In particular when all bi's vanish, the metric reduces to the spatial section of (3.1) with g = 0, which is on a smooth manifold of Ricci-flat Ka�hler. In general, the metrics are cones of Einstein-Sasaki spaces in the asymptotic regions and isolated examples smooth metrics with higher cohomogeneity were found in [27, 28].
+
+5 Euclidean AdS solitons with negative mass
+
+For a Schwarzschild black hole, we can Wick rotate the time coordinate t so that the solution becomes a Euclidean-signatured soliton that is asymptotic to RD-1 �S. For Kerr metrics or Kerr-(A)dS metrics, the reality condition requires that the rotation parameters ai become pure imaginary after the Wick rotation. In other words, we must have
+
+t = i  , ai  i ai .
+
+(5.1)
+
+For positive cosmological constant, the resulting metric becomes compact and the absence of conical singularities on the Euclidean Killing horizons put strong constraints on the parameter spaces. Consequently the complete manifolds are classified by a set of integer values. This was done in general for Kerr-dS metrics in [7]. Einstein-Sasaki metrics Y pq [29] and more general Lpqr [30, 31] can also be constructed in this procedure.
+In this section, we consider a negative or zero cosmological constant, and hence the manifolds are non-compact. An interesting phenomenon occurs in odd dimensions. Before the Wick rotation, we have 0 < i  1 for i, it follows from (2.34) and (2.28) that the mass are positive definite, provided that m > 0. Under ai  iai, we have
+
+i = 1 + a2i g2  1 .
+
+(5.2)
+
+It follows from (2.28) that the mass for even dimensions remain positive definite. However,
+
+in odd dimensions, the mass for Euclidean solitons can become negative provided that none
+
+of the ai vanishes and they are all sufficiently large so that
+
+n i=1
+
+1 i
+
+<
+
+1 2
+
+.
+
+(5.3)
+
+When the above bound is saturated, we obtain a massless soliton. Of course, when the
+
+above bound is violated, we get solitons with positive mass. It is clear that the cosmological
+
+22
+
+constant g2 plays a crucial role in the above discussion and hence the solitons can only have negative mass for asymptotic AdS spacetimes.
+To demonstrate this explicitly, we start with the cohomogeneity-one Kerr-AdS metric with all equal angular momenta. In five dimensions, the metric can be written as (2.1). We can perform Wick rotation and choose the parameters
+
+t = i , � = b > 0 ,  = -a < 0 .
+
+(5.4)
+
+In general D = 2n + 1 dimensions, we can start with (2.23) and perform Wick rotation and
+
+set  = -b and  = a, we find that the Euclidean soliton is

+
+(2n - 1)b - g2a
+
+.
+
+(5.6)
+
+The metric has a Killing horizon at r = r0 which is the largest real root of f . We can express b in terms of (r0, a), given by

+
+=
+
+4 W (r0) f (r0)
+
+,
+
+(5.8)
+
+ provided that we let    - ab/(r0W (r0)) d . Note that the condition b  0 implies
+
+a  r02(n-1). It follows that there is a lower bound of the mass
+
+M
+
+
+
+-
+
+A2n-1 16
+
+g2r02n
+
+.
+
+(5.9)
+
+(This should be compared to the Minkowski-signatured AdS soliton, whose mass has an
+
+upper bound (3.20).) Thus mass can be also negative for Euclidean AdS solitons in odd
+
+dimensions. In particular, the parameter region
+
+(2n - 1)(1 + g2r02) 2n(1 + g2r02) - 1
+
+
+
+a r02n
+
+
+
+1
+
+(5.10)
+
+corresponds to 0  M  -g2r02n. Thus when the lower bound is saturated we have a massless soliton. When a is sufficiently small so that the above lower bound is violated,
+
+23
+
+then the mass becomes positive. It is worth commenting that in the extremal case where f has a double root, the mass is positive.
+The existence of negative mass in Euclidean-signatured space is not uncommon. The Atiyah-Hitchin metric is a solution of the Euclidean Taub-NUT with negative mass [32,33], where the asymptotic region is R3 � S. Analogous solutions exist also in higher dimensions [34].
+
+6 Time machine with a dipole charge
+In the previous sections, we have focused on the Einstein metrics with R� = -2ng2 g� in D = 2n + 1 dimensions. We now consider charged rotating solutions. Exact solutions of charged Kerr-AdS black holes in higher dimensions are known only in supergravities. In five dimensions, notable examples include ones in supergravities [35] and gauged supergravities [36, 37]. BPS solutions are somewhat simpler and global analysis indicates that both black holes or time machines can arise, see e.g. [10,38�42]. In this section we consider the charged Kerr-AdS black hole in minimal gauged supergravity in five dimensions [36]. Soliton limits of this solution were studied in [43]. We consider a very different limit such that the resulting solution carries no electric charge, but only the magnetic dipole charge.
+
+6.1 Asymptotic to AdS5
+

+be seen, for example,

+from g11
+
+which is obviously negative at r = r0
+
+and  =
+
+1 2
+
+.
+
+For
+
+non-vanshing q, the existence of the Killing horizon is independent of the value and sign of
+
+the constant . It follows (6.4) that the mass can be either positive or negative, without
+
+upper or lower bounds. On the Killing horizon, there is a magnetic dipole charge, given by

+7 Conclusions
+In this paper, we studied the properties of Kerr and Kerr-AdS metrics in D = 2n + 1 dimensions when they do not describe rotating black holes. We found that when the mass was negative and all angular momenta turned on, the metrics could describe smooth time machines where spacetime closes off on some Euclidean pseudo horizon, which is Minkowski signatured, a time bundle over some base space. The absence of conical singularity of
+26
+
+the degenerate surface of the horizon requires the periodic identification of the real time coordinate. Such negative-mass time machines can arise for both asymptotically-flat or AdS spacetimes. We also constructed analogous time machines in gauged and ungauged minimal supergravity in five dimensions, where the time machines carry no electric but dipole charges.
+Turning off the angular momenta appropriately, the aforementioned AdS time machines reduce to static solitons with negative mass. Furthermore, Euclideanization of Kerr-AdS metrics in odd dimensions can also lead to solitons with negative mass. For those that are solutions to Einstein's vacuum field equations with or without a cosmological constant, the absence of any singularity implies that the origin of the spacetime curvature is purely gravitational without any matter energy-momentum tensor. This is very different from Schwarzschild or Kerr black holes where singular matter source is located at the singularity. Thus our solutions are the manifestations of pure-gravity states. Such states are not unusual in Euclidean signatured gravity; they are described by gravitational instantons. Our work demonstrates that pure gravitational states can arise in Minkowski signatured gravity in D = 2n + 1. In addition, we find that taking the cosmological constant to zero, the AdS solitons solutions reduce to a class of Ricci-flat Ka�hler metrics in D = 2n dimensions.
+Time machines are not unusual in supergravities where BPS time machines have been constructed. What is unusual is perhaps that all these solutions carry negative energies. It is thus of interest to examine the positive-mass conjecture. Having naked CTCs can be perfectly consistent with the energy conditions. In fact the naked CTCs in Go�del-type metrics [44] emerge precisely because of the null-energy condition [45].
+Positive-mass conjecture states that mass of asymptotically Minkowski spacetime is nonnegative. In our time-machine solutions, the time is required to be periodic. Although the asymptotic spacetime is flat for the  = 0 solutions, it is not quite Minkowski, where time is isomorphic to a real line. For the AdS solitons with negative mass, the EH instaton-like requirement of the period of  coordinate implies that the asymptotic spacetime is AdS/Zk rather than AdS.
+Concrete examples of violating the positive-mass conjecture are perhaps those negativemass AdS time machines. This is because in the flat-spacetime embedding of AdS, time in global coordinates are already periodic. The further periodic identification of the null Killing vector on the Euclidean pseudo horizon can be perfectly consistent with the time period of global AdS provided that the constraint (2.16) is satisfied. This implies that the mass and angular momenta are discretized and are functions of rational numbers. This
+27
+
+phenomenon is analogous to the discretization of compact manifolds. It can be argued that in the "real world setting," spacetime configurations with discretized mass and angular momentum are so fine tuned and hence it is unlikely for the time machine to be created. Of course, one can hardly call the AdS2n+1 spacetime as the real world. On the other hand, the discrete nature of the time-machine configurations suggests topological structures that imply that these solutions, although having negative mass, are stable.1 It is of great interest to investigate the corresponding states in the boundary conformal field theory.

+Particle-Hole Symmetry in the Fermion-Chern-Simons and Dirac Descriptions of a Half-Filled Landau Level

+It is well known that there is a particle-hole symmetry for spin-polarized electrons with two-body interactions in a partially filled Landau level, which becomes exact in the limit where the cyclotron energy is large compared to the interaction strength, so one can ignore mixing between Landau levels. This symmetry is explicit in the description of a half-filled Landau level recently introduced by D. T. Son, using Dirac fermions, but it was thought to be absent in the older fermion-ChernSimons approach, developed by Halperin, Lee, and Read and subsequent authors. We show here, however, that when properly evaluated, the Halperin, Lee, Read (HLR) theory gives results for long-wavelength low-energy physical properties, including the Hall conductance in the presence of impurities and the positions of minima in the magnetoroton spectra for fractional quantized Hall states close to half-filling, that are identical to predictions of the Dirac formulation. In fact, the HLR theory predicts an emergent particle-hole symmetry near half filling, even when the cyclotron energy is finite.

+I. INTRODUCTION
+A series of recent developments have focused renewed attention on the problem of a two-dimensional system of interacting electrons at, or close to, a half-filled Landau level. In particular, in a highly original work, D. T. Son[1] has proposed a description of the half-filled Landau level that employs a collection of relativistic Dirac fermions, interacting with an emergent gauge field with no Chern-Simons term. This description stands in contrast to the more traditional description in terms of non-relativistic "composite fermions" interacting with a Chern-Simons gauge field, developed by Halperin, Lee and Read (HLR)[2] and others, some twenty years ago. (See, e.g., Refs. [3�11]).
+The Son-Dirac description has led to a number of valuable insights into the conventional problem of twodimensional electrons in a strong magnetic field[12�16], and it has also served to elucidate connections to other physical problems, such as exotic electronic states that could arise at the surface of a three-dimensional topological insulator[12, 17, 18], time-reversal invariant U (1) quantum spin liquids in three dimensions[12, 19, 20], and a class of field theory dualities in (2 + 1) dimensions[12, 18, 21�25].
+The Dirac picture seems to have some significant advantages compared with the HLR description for the conventional two-dimensional electron system, in particular with respect to particle-hole (PH) symmetry. It is
+
+2
+
+well known that a partially-filled Landau level of spinpolarized electrons with two-body interactions should have an exact PH symmetry about half-filling, in the limit where the electron-electron interaction is weak compared to the cyclotron energy, so one can neglect mixing between Landau levels[26]. Numerical calculations, either through trial wave functions motivated by the composite fermi liquid picture[27, 28], or through unbiased energetic calculations[14, 27], seem to confirm that this symmetry is unbroken in the incompressible phase. This symmetry is made manifest in the Dirac model by setting a single parameter equal to zero, the Dirac mass mD.
+By contrast, the HLR approach is not explicitly PH symmetric, and in fact it has been questioned whether the approach is even compatible with PH symmetry[29, 30]. It has been suggested that the Dirac theory and the HLR theory actually represent different fixed points and that there might necessarily be some kind of discontinuous phase transition separating these fixed points[1, 29� 31]. These suggestions have been based on analyses of several key physical properties, in which it appeared that predictions of HLR were contradictory to PH symmetry.
+In this paper, we reexamine several of these properties, and we find that when properly analyzed, the HLR theory gives identical results to the Dirac theory, in the limit of long wavelengths and low energies, near half filling. Some of the confusion about these points has arisen simply because the predictions of HLR theory were not previously analyzed with sufficient care. Despite our limitations to long-wavelengths and low-energies, we believe that our analysis casts strong doubt on the possibility that there is any regime of parameters in which the Dirac description and the HLR description correspond to two different phases of matter. Specifically, we have carried out detailed studies of two types of properties where it has been suggested that there are irreconcilable differences between the HLR and Son-Dirac descriptions � the Hall conductance of a half-filled Landau level in the presence of disorder, and the momentum values of the minima in the magnetoroton spectra of fractional quantized Hall states that are symmetrically displaced from  = 1/2.
+In the presence of a disorder potential that is statistically PH symmetric, symmetry dictates that the Hall conductance should be exactly e2/2h, in the absence of Landau level mixing. Since 1997, it has been widely believed that HLR is incompatible with this requirement, and that HLR implies deviations in the Hall conductance proportional to the inverse square of the mean-free path of the composite fermions. We show below, however, that when properly evaluated, these deviations are absent in the HLR theory, at least in the case of weak, long-wavelength, disorder potentials.
+For a system where the electronic filling factor  is close to one half, oscillations in the conductivity at finite wave vector q and frequency  have been predicted, and in some cases observed, as a function of the deviations from half filling. These oscillations involve excitation or modulation at a non-zero wave vector q, where maxima
+
+or minima in some characteristic of the response are predicted to occur at a series of values of q, approximately given by
+
+qn
+
+
+
+zn|eB| kF
+
+(1)
+
+where zn is the n-th zero of the J1 Bessel function, B is the deviation of the magnetic field from the field at half filling, and kF is the Fermi wave vector of the composite fermions. PH symmetry requires that if the electron density is varied, while the magnetic field is held fixed, the wave vectors qn should be precisely independent of the sign of B. In the Son-Dirac theory, Eq. (1) directly obeys this PH symmetry, because the value of kF is a constant, determined by the magnetic field, independent of the electron density. In HLR, however, kF is determined by the electron density, which will be slightly different for positive and negative values of B. Therefore, if one were to treat Eq. (1) as an exact equality, using the definition of kF in HLR, one would find that PH symmetry is obeyed to first order in B, but is violated at second order.
+We show below that a careful evaluation of the locations of minima in the magnetoroton excitation spectrum in fractional quantum Hall states close to  = 1/2, originally discussed by Simon and Halperin (SH)[10], using the HLR approach, gives predictions that are PH symmetric, at least to order (B)2. We show that these predictions coincide with the predictions of the Son-Dirac theory. The SH formulas actually contain corrections to Eq. (1), which vanish in the limit B  0 but are nonzero at order (B)2 and which precisely eliminate the PH asymmetry at this order.
+We note that the results described above were both obtained by careful evaluation of the HLR theory at the RPA level, and did not require any explicit assumption of particle hole symmetry, or any apparent assumption about the ratio between the electron interaction strength and the bare electron cyclotron energy. These results suggest that even when this ratio is finite, so the electrons are not projected into a single Landau level, there may be an emergent PH symmetry, which becomes asymptotically exact in the limit of low-frequency, long-wavelength and small deviation from half-filling. Our results show that for the properties we have analyzed, this is true at least to some nontrivial orders in frequency, momentum and deviation from half-filling.
+Within the context of HLR theory, we find that a similar degree of PH symmetry should emerge in the vicinity of other fractions of the form 1/(2n), such as 1/4, 1/6, etc. As a practical matter, this is only of interest for small values of n, since at least for the case of Coulomb interactions between the electrons, the ground state for values of n > 3 appears to be a Wigner crystal of electrons, rather than a liquid of composite fermions. Nevertheless, an emergent PH symmetry at  = 1/4 or 1/6 would be noteworthy, since there is no exact particle hole symmetry about fractions other than 1/2, even for electrons

+
+confined to a single Landau level. The structure of the paper is the following. In the
+next Section we review the HLR approach to the halffilled Landau level. In Section III we address the issue of dc transport at  = 1/2 in the presence of disorder, and show how the HLR approach yields results which are consistent with the requirements of particle-hole symmetry. In Section IV we address "commensurability oscillations", which occur at fillings slightly away from  = 1/2, with a focus on the locations of minima in the dispersion curves for the lowest-energy magnetoroton excitations in fractional quantized Hall states near half filling. We show how an analysis within the HLR approach yields results that are consistent with the requirements of particle-hole symmetry. In Section V, we review the Son-Dirac approach, and make a comparison between results of that approach and our analyses based on HLR. We conclude with a Summary section.
+
+II. REVIEW OF THE HLR APPROACH
+
+A. Definition of the Problem
+
+We consider a two-dimensional system of interacting electrons in a strong magnetic field, with a Landau level filling fraction  that is equal to or close to  = 1/2. We assume that the electrons are fully spin polarized, so we may neglect the spin degree of freedom. The Hamiltonian of the system may be written in the form
+
+H0 =
+
+|pj
+
+- A(rj)|2 2m
+
++
+
+V2,
+
+(2)
+
+j
+
+where V2 is a two-body interaction of the form
+
+1
+
+V2 = 2 v2(ri - rj),
+
+(3)
+
+i=j
+
+and A is the vector potential due to a uniform magnetic field B in the z-direction. In the case where v2 is a longrange potential, the Hamiltonian must include interactions between the electrons and a uniform neutralizing background, which we include in V2. In the presence of impurities, we shall add a one-body potential V1(rj) which depends on position; for the present, however, we shall consider a system without impurities, so we take V1 = 0. Except where otherwise stated, we use units where the electron charge is positive and equal to unity, and = c = 1.
+The system under consideration has several important properties. First, it is Galilean invariant, so that it must obey Kohn's theorem, which states that the response to a uniform time-varying electric field should be the same as for a system of non-interacting electrons in the given magnetic field. Second, as mentioned in the Introduction, in the limit where the electron mass m is taken to zero, so that the cyclotron energy becomes infinite while
+
+the electron-electron interaction is held fixed, the system should manifest an exact PH symmetry about Landaulevel filling fraction  = 1/2. We shall see to what extent these properties are preserved by approximations that have been proposed for treating the system.
+
+B. The HLR hypothesis
+
+The fermion-Chern-Simons approach employed in HLR began with an exact unitary transformation, a singular gauge transformation, where the many-body electron wave function is multiplied by a phase factor that depends on the positions of all the electrons, such that the transformed Hamiltonian acquires a Chern-Simons gauge field a�, with -2 flux quanta attached to every electron. The transformed problem may be expressed in Lagrangian form by the following Lagrangian density:
+
+L0 = �
+
+D�D iDt - � + 2m
+
+ada  - 8 + Lint
+
+(4)
+
+ada  �a� a
+
+(5)
+
+D�  � + i (a� + A�).
+
+(6)
+
+Taking the variation of the Lagrangian with respect to a0, we obtain the constraint
+
+ � a = -4 � = -4 nel(r).
+
+(7)
+
+In these equations,  is the Grassmann field for a set of transformed "composite fermions" (CFs), whose density � is identical to the electron density nel(r).
+At this stage, we have merely transformed one insoluble problem to another. However, the transformed problem admits a sensible mean-field approximation, whereas the original problem did not. In particular, if the Landau level is half full, so that there is one electron for each quantum of electromagnetic flux, the mean field problem describes a set of non-interacting fermions in zero magnetic field. To go beyond mean-field theory, one must include the effects of fluctuations in the gauge field and fluctuations in the two-body potential. The central hypothesis of HLR is that, in principle, one could obtain the correct properties of the system by starting from the mean field solution, treating the omitted fluctuation terms via perturbation theory. This assumes that the interacting ground state can be reached from the mean-field solution by turning on the perturbing terms adiabatically, without encountering any phase transition. Among the consequences of this assumption are that the ground state at  = 1/2 should be compressible, and that there should be something like a Fermi surface, with a well-defined Fermi wave vector, kF = 4nel[2, 8, 9, 11].
+Experimentally, in GaAs two-dimensional electron systems, it appears that the HLR hypothesis is correct for
+
+4
+
+electrons in the lowest Landau level. However, it appears that the HLR hypothesis breaks down for electrons in the second Landau level, where one observes an incompressible fractional Hall state, with an energy gap, at half filling, in high quality samples[32]. It is widely believed that this quantized Hall state may be understood as arising from an instability of the Fermi surface to formation of Cooper pairs in the second Landau level[33�36]. In still higher Landau levels, it appears that the Fermi surface is unstable with respect to the formation of charge density waves, which can lead to a large anisotropy in the measured electrical resistivity at low temperatures[37�40].
+If one is interested in dynamic properties, such as the response to a time-dependent and space-dependent electric field, the first level of approximation, beyond static mean field theory, is the random phase approximation (RPA), or time-dependent Hartree approximation. In this approximation, the composite fermions are treated as non-interacting fermions, with the bare mass m, driven by an effective electromagnetic field which is the sum of the applied external electromagnetic field, the Hartree potential arising from the interaction V2, in the case where there are induced modulations in the selfconsistent charge density, and induced electric and magnetic fields arising from modulations of the Chern Simons gauge field. These fields may be written as
+
+e = -4z^ � jel , b = -4nel ,
+
+(8)
+
+where jel is the electron current density at the point in question.
+As we shall discuss further below, many properties of the system near  = 1/2 are described properly by the RPA, including the response of the system to a uniform time-dependent electric field. However, use of the unrenormalized electron mass as assumed in the RPA, can lead to a serious error in the energy scale for various excitations. A proper low-energy description of the composite fermion liquid requires the use of an effective mass m, which may be very different than the bare mass m. In particular, one expects that the renormalized mass should be determined by the electron-electron interaction v2, and should be independent of m, in the limit where m  0 and the cyclotron energy goes to infinity. The renormalized mass enters directly in the low temperature specific heat, and it also is manifest in the magnitudes of the energy gaps at fractional quantized Hall states of the form  = p/(2p + 1), where p is a positive or negative integer, in the limit |p|   or   1/2[2, 11].
+A simple modification of the RPA, which we denote RPA*, would consist of replacing m by m in the RPA. Although this would correctly give the energy scale for the specific heat and energy gaps in the fractional quantized Hall states, this would change the response to a time-dependent uniform electric field, which was correctly given in RPA. Specifically, if we write E = ^()jel, at frequency , then it is required by Kohn's theorem that the resistivity tensor should be given by
+
+^() = -im - 4^,
+
+(9)
+
+where ^ is the unit antisymmetric tensor, xy = - yx = 1. Using RPA*, one would find, incorrectly, that m is replaced by m in the formula for ^.
+This defect in RPA* is familiar from the theory of ordinary Fermi liquids. In order to get the correct lowfrequency response functions in the presence of a renormalized effective mass, it is necessary to include effects of the Landau interaction parameters Fl. These may be defined by the energy cost to form a distortion of the Fermi surface. Specifically, a small distortion of the form
+
+
+
+kF (r, ) =
+
+ul(r)e-il
+
+l=-
+
+(10)
+
+will have an energy cost
+
+E = vF kF 4
+
+
+
+d2r
+
+(1 + Fl) |ul(r)|2,
+
+(11)
+
+l=-
+
+where vF  kF /m. For a Galilean invariant system, we must have
+
+F1 = F-1 = (m/m) - 1 = (vF /vF ) - 1.
+
+(12)
+
+As noted in SH [10], inclusion of these interaction parameters will also restore the correct response for the composite fermion system at  = 1/2. In the presence of a non-zero current, the l = �1 parameters lead to an extra force on the electrons, which restores m to m in the resistivity tensor (9).
+We remark that it is also necessary to take into account a Landau interaction parameter if one wishes to obtain the correct value for the electron compressibility. As in a normal Fermi liquid, we have
+
+d� 2
+
+dnel = m (1 + F0),
+
+(13)
+
+where � is the chemical potential (defined to exclude the contribution of the macroscopic electrostatic potential).
+
+C. Infrared divergences
+As was already observed in HLR, in the case of Coulomb interactions, which behave as 1/r for large separations r, an analysis of contributions to the effective mass m arising from long-wavelength fluctuations of the Chern-Simons gauge field predicts a logarithmic divergence in m as one approaches the Fermi surface. A similar divergence is found in the Landau interaction parameters, however, so that Galilean invariance is preserved, and the compressibility remains finite. The decay rate for quasiparticles close to the Fermi energy is predicted to be small compared to the quasiparticle energy, in this case, so that the quasiparticle excitations remain well-defined, and the composite Fermion system may be described as a "marginal Fermi liquid." Similar infrared divergences are
+
+5
+
+found in the Son-Dirac theory of the half-filled Landau level.
+It is believed that these infrared divergences will be absent, and m will remain finite, if one assumes an electron-electron interaction that falls off more slowly than 1/r, so that long-wavelength density fluctuations in the electron density are suppressed. Moreover, these divergences are irrelevant to the issues of PH symmetry which are the focus of the current investigation. Consequently, we shall assume, for the purposes of our discussion, that we are dealing with an electron-electron interaction that falls of more slowly than 1/r and that m is finite.
+We remark that for short-range electron-electron interactions, fluctuations in the gauge field lead to divergences that are stronger than logarithmic, and long-lived quasiparticles can no longer be defined at the Fermi surface. Nevertheless, it is believed that many predictions of the HLR theory remain valid in this case[8, 9]. We expect that the results of the present paper with regard to particle hole symmetry should also apply in the case of short-range interactions, but we have not investigated this case in detail.
+
+D. Energy gaps at  = p/(2p + 1)
+
+According to the HLR picture, if there is a finite effective mass m at  = 1/2, then for fractional quantized Hall states of the form  = p/(2p + 1), where p is a positive or negative integer, the energy gaps, in the limit p  , should have the asymptotic form
+
+|B|
+
+Eg = m ,
+
+(14)
+
+where B the deviation from the magnetic field at  = 1/2 for the given electron density, i.e.,
+
+B
+
+B
+
+=
+
+B
+
+-
+
+4nel
+
+=
+
+. 2p + 1
+
+(15)
+
+Note that the allowed values of B are symmetric about  = 1/2, assuming that the electron density is varied while B is held fixed, since B(p) = -B(-p - 1).
+In the limit m  0, PH symmetry requires that the energy gap should be the same for B and -B, assuming that B has been held fixed. Equation (14) will satisfy this requirement, at least to first order order in B. Symmetry beyond first order depends on the choice of m used in the formula. Although the HLR analysis specifies that m should be evaluated under the condition of  = 1/2, there is still an ambiguity when B = 0, because one must decide whether to use the value appropriate for the given magnetic field or for the given electron density. These conditions are precisely equivalent to each other only when B = 0. If one employs in Eq. (14) the value of m calculated at the given value of B, then the formula will exhibit PH symmetry to all orders in B.
+
+If one were to use the value of m calculated at the given value of nel, however, there would be violations of PH symmetry at second order in B.
+In practice, the value of the renormalized mass cannot be calculated entirely within the HLR approach, so the value of m to be used in the effective theory must be obtained from experiment or from some other microscopic calculation. Thus we can say that the HLR theory is compatible with PH symmetry in the fractional quantized Hall energy gaps, but it can only be deduced from the theory to first order in B. We remark that the same situation occurs in the Son-Dirac theory. Precise PH symmetry in that case depends on a separate assumption that the renormalized value of the Dirac velocity should be determined by the magnetic field and not by the electron density.
+
+III. DC TRANSPORT AT  = 1/2
+
+PH symmetry, in the limit m  0, implies that the Hall conductivity in response to a spatially uniform electric field should be precisely given by
+
+1
+
+xy
+
+=
+
+-yx
+
+=
+
+, 4
+
+(16)
+
+regardless of the applied frequency. This should be true even in the presence of impurities, provided that the disorder potential Vimp is PH symmetric in a statistical sense. This means that if one chooses the uniform background potential such that the average Vimp = 0, then all odd moments of the disorder potential must vanish.
+In the absence of impurities, we may use the result (9) for a Galilean invariant system to calculate the conductivity tensor
+
+^()
+
+=
+
+^-1()
+
+=
+
+-im + 4^ 162 - m22 .
+
+(17)
+
+If m = 0, this gives ^() = -^/4, which satisfies the condition for PH symmetry. As we have seen, the HLR theory will satisfy Galilean invariance if the F�1 interaction parameter is taken into account. However, if one were to use the renormalized mass without the F�1 interaction, one would find that m is replaced by m in Eq. (17), so that particle hole symmetry would not be satisfied for  = 0.
+Of greater interest is the dc Hall conductivity in the presence of impurities. For many years, beginning with the work of Kivelson et al. in 1997[29], it has been widely believed that the HLR approach must give a result for the dc Hall conductivity that is inconsistent with PH symmetry, at least at the level of RPA and perhaps beyond, if the mean free path for composite fermions is finite. The reasoning goes as follows. Within the HLR approach, the electron resistivity tensor is related to the resistivity tensor of the composite fermions by
+
+^ = ^cf + ^CS,
+
+(18)
+
+6
+
+where ^CS is the Chern-Simons resistivity tensor, given by
+
+^CS = -4^.
+
+(19)
+
+One finds that in order to obtain the PH symmetric result for xy, if xx = 0, it is necessary that xcyf = -1/4. However, it was argued that xcyf is necessarily equal to zero at  = 1/2. This is because, in the absence of impurities, the composite fermions see an average effective magnetic field equal to zero, which is effectively invariant under time reversal. The presence of impurities leads to non-uniformities in the electron density, which lead to local fluctuations in the effective magnetic field b(r). These fluctuations, in turn, will be the dominant source of scattering of composite fermions, under conditions where the correlation length for the impurity potential is large compared to the Fermi wave length. If the impurity potential is statistically PH symmetric, then there will be equal probability to have a positive or negative value of b at any point, so that the resulting perturbation to the composite fermions should again be invariant under time reversal in a statistical sense.
+The fallacy we find here in this reasoning is that fluctuations in b are correlated with fluctuations in the electrostatic potential, which though their effects are weak compared to the effects of b, are sufficient to break the statistical time-reversal symmetry produced by the b fluctuations alone. We shall see below that when these correlated fluctuations are taken into account we recover precisely the result xcyf = -1/4 required by PH symmetry.
+In the subsections below, we show how disorder leads to the desired result for xcyf . As there are some subtleties involved in these calculations, we present here two different derivations, which bring different insights to the problem and which may be applicable in somewhat different regimes. The first derivation employs a semi-classical analysis and uses the Kubo formula, which expresses the conductivity in terms of equilibrium correlation functions. The second derivation employs the Born Approximation and the Boltzmann Equation , and calculates the conductivity by analyzing the effect of the electric field on the particles' dynamics. We also discuss consequences for thermoelectric transport at  = 1/2.
+Our calculations are restricted to the case where the Fourier components of the disorder potential have wave vectors small compared to kF . Neither the HLR nor the Dirac theories, in their simplest forms, can describe quantitatively the effect of potential fluctuations with wave vectors comparable to or larger than kF . In either theory, the coupling between a short-wavelength potential fluctuation and the operators that scatter a composite fermion from one point to another on the Fermi surface will be affected by vertex corrections, whose value is determined by microscopic considerations and cannot be calculated within the low-energy theory itself.
+It should be emphasized that while the effects discussed below may be important as a matter of princi-
+
+ple, they are all sub-leading corrections to the transport
+in the presence of impurities. For small impurity concentrations, the CF Hall conductance xcyf = -1/4 is small compared to the diagonal CF conductance, xcxf , which is proportional to kF lcf, where lcf is the transport
+mean free path for composite fermions. Conversely, if one were to set xcyf = 0, this would lead to a deviation of the electronic xy from the PH-symmetric value by an amount proportional to x2x  1/(kF lcf)2, which is small compared to xx as well as to xy, in the limit of large
+kF lcf.
+
+A. Disorder potential and fluctuations of the magnetic field
+
+In general, density fluctuations produced by an external electrostatic potential such as Vimp will tend to screen the external potential and give rise to a combined selfconsistent potential, which we denote V (r). Within a mean-field approximation, for long-wavelength potential fluctuations, the induced density fluctuation should be related to V by
+
+ncf(r) = -V (r),
+
+(20)
+
+where  = m/2 is the compressibility of noninteracting fermions. We assume here that the potential Vimp contains only Fourier components with wave vectors q that are small compared to kF , which is appropriate for a remotely doped system, where the impurities are set back from the 2DES by a distance large compared to the Fermi wavelength.
+Beyond the mean field approximation, we should replace m by m, and we should redefine the potential V to include effects of the F0 Landau parameter. The effective magnetic field b = b(r) + B produced by a fluctuation in the redefined V is then given by
+
+b(r) = 2mV (r) .
+
+(21)
+
+Equivalently, we may describe this in terms of the induced vector potential a, which may be written in Fourier space as
+
+a(q)
+
+=
+
+-2mV
+
+(q)
+
+iz^ � q2
+
+q
+
+(22)
+
+Since the gauge fluctuation will couple to the momentum of a composite fermion with a term -a � pj/m, we find that the total effect of the impurity potential is a term in
+the Hamiltonian whose matrix element between an initial
+state of momentum k and a final state k is given by
+
+2i(k � k ) � z^
+
+Ukk = V (q) 1 +
+
+q2
+
+,
+
+(23)
+
+where q = k - k .
+
+7
+
+B. Semiclassical analysis using the Kubo formula
+
+In this subsection, we employ a semiclassical analysis of the dynamics of CFs of mass m in the presence of the (screened) impurity potential V (r). We restore factors of e and , and we consider a more general situation, where  = 1/(2n), where n is an integer, not necessarily equal to 1. Then Eq (21) for the effective magnetic field b should be replaced by
+
+2nm
+
+b = V (r)
+
+.
+
+(24)
+
+e
+
+The semiclassical equations of motion are then
+
+2nV (r)
+
+p = -V +
+
+p � z^
+
+(25)
+
+r = p/m .
+
+(26)
+
+(We assume, here, and in the formulas below, that the
+
+product of the electron charge and the z-component of
+
+the external magnetic field is positive. Results for the
+
+opposite case may be obtained by interchanging indices
+
+for the x and y axes.)
+
+We shall consider V (r) to be a random function, sym-
+
+metrically distributed around V = 0. Its correlation
+
+length  is assumed large compared to /pF with pF = 2m the Fermi momentum and  the Fermi energy, as
+
+required for validity of the semiclassical approximation.
+
+Note that the Lorentz force (of order V pF / ) is then large compared to the force exerted by gradient of the poten-
+
+tial (of order V /) by a factor pF / . The validity of the
+
+semiclassical analysis also requires that the typical scat-
+
+tering angle from this Lorentz force,   V m/( pF ),
+
+is large compared to the diffraction angle  /(pF ), i.e.
+
+V
+
+2/(m2).
+
+It is convenient to separate into radial and angular co-
+
+ordinates, by writing
+
+p(t)  px(t) + ipy(t) = |p(t)|ei(t) .
+
+(27)
+
+For a particle of energy 
+
+|p(t)| = 2m{ - V [r(t)]}
+

+
+along the trajectory r(t) of the particle. We shall use the classical form of the Kubo formulas for
+the conductivity in terms of velocity-velocity correlation functions. To this end, we construct the correlator
+
+1 K(t - t0)  m2
+
+p(t)p(t0)
+
+(30)
+
+with the average taken over the distribution of particles in phase space. To represent the degenerate Fermi gas
+
+we shall consider the microcanonical distribution at the Fermi energy . The conductivities are then

+
+K(t) dt

+
+(31)
+
+where the prefactor involves the compressibility. For fixed Fermi energy , large compared to V , we use (28) expanded to first order in V /, to write

+
+ei
+
+t t0

+

+
+(32)
+
+and then use (29) to replace V (r) -( /2n) for pF / 1 at both t and t0, leading to

+
+The correlator

+
+(34)
+
+depends on how the particles move in real space. Assuming that the composite mean free path lcf is large compared to the correlations length  for fluctuations in the potential V , we may expect that each particle will explore phase space with the probability of the microcanonical distribution, (p, r)  [ - |p|2/2m - V (r)]. (The assumption lcf  is clearly valid in the limit where the magnitude of the potential fluctuations is small while  is held fixed.) Integrating the microcanonical distribution over 2D momentum leads to a uniform real-space density distribution [since  > V (r)]. Thus, each particle moves in such a way that its time-varying potential V [r(t)] has the same probability distribution as V (r). For example, from Eqn (29),  vanishes under time-averaging. More specifically, since the distribution of V is invariant under V  -V , so too is that of  under   -, such that (34) is real. Hence, from (33)

+
+(36)
+
+For the case  = 1/2, where n = 1, we recover our
+desired result xcfy = -1/(4), in units where e = = 1. More generally, the result (36) implies that the electron
+Hall conductivity at  = 1/(2n) is precisely given by xy = (e2)/(4 n), even in the presence of impurities. Thus there seems to be a kind of emergent PH symmetry
+at fractions such as  = 1/4 and  = 1/6.
+
+8
+
+C. Calculation using the Born Approximation and Boltzmann Equation
+
+It seems reasonable that we are justified in using a
+
+semiclassical approximation for our problem, because we
+
+are necessarily focused on potential fluctuations on a length scale  that is large compared to kF-1. However, the requirement also that the classical scattering
+
+angle exceeds the diffraction angle, [i.e., the condition
+
+V
+
+2/(m2) discussed above], leads to some sub-
+
+tleties in the applicability of the classical results for weak
+
+potentials[41]. It can be shown that the transport scat-
+
+tering cross section, (i.e., the integrated cross section
+
+weighted by the square of the momentum transfer) is
+
+correctly given by the semiclassical approximation in this
+
+case, and it agrees with a quantum mechanical calcula-
+
+tion based on the Born approximation. However, the to-
+
+tal scattering cross section, as well as the differential cross
+
+section at any particular angle, is generally not given cor-
+
+rectly by a semiclassical analysis. Therefore, it seems
+
+useful to check that our semiclassical calculation of the
+
+off-diagonal part of the CF conductivity tensor can be
+
+duplicated in a more quantum mechanical calculation.
+
+Here we follow closely the analysis used by Nozi`eres
+
+and Lewiner (NL)[42] for the anomalous Hall effect due
+
+to spin-orbit interactions in a spin-polarized semiconduc-
+
+tor. In their analysis, NL employed a Boltzmann equa-
+
+tion to study the evolution of the electron system in a
+
+uniform applied electric field, paying careful attention to
+
+the effects of spin orbit coupling on the collision integral
+
+in the presence of the field.
+
+In our case, we wish to study carefully the scattering
+
+of a composite fermion by an impurity described by an
+
+effective Hamiltonian of the form (23). In order to use
+
+the NL analysis directly, we must impose the condition
+
+that the scattering matrix element Ukk due to a single impurity is zero in the limit k  k . This means that
+
+the associated potential V (q) should vanish for q  0
+
+faster than q. In real space, this means that the space
+
+integral of the potential V (r) should vanish, as well as
+
+its first spatial moments. If individual impurities do
+
+not satisfy these conditions, the NL analysis may still
+
+be used if impurities can be grouped into small clusters
+
+that satisfy the conditions. In any case, the purpose of
+
+this subsection is to provide a check of the validity of the
+
+above-described semiclassical approximation as a matter
+
+of principle, rather than to check the validity in a realistic
+
+situation.
+
+It is instructive to describe our calculation in two parts.
+
+In the first part we consider the scattering of a single
+
+composite fermion from momentum k to momentum k
+
+by the potential (23) in the absence of an electric field.
+
+We show - following NL - that this scattering involves a
+
+"side-jump"
+
+rq
+
+=
+
+-
+
+(z^�q) (2kF2 )
+
+,
+
+i.e.,
+
+a
+
+motion
+
+of
+
+the
+
+elec-
+
+tron in the direction perpendicular to the momentum
+
+transferred from the disordered potential to the compos-
+
+ite fermion. When averaged over all scattering processes
+
+from a momentum k each scattering event involves a side-
+
+jump, which results in a net motion perpendicular to the
+
+direction of k. In the presence of an electric field Ex, the
+
+net flux of electrons that experience scattering by the
+
+potential is proportional to eEx , where   lcfm/kF is the transport scattering time. As they scatter from
+
+impurities, the extra electrons acquire a velocity in the
+
+y-direction given by / where  is the cumulative side
+
+jump during the time  in which their direction of mo-
+
+tion is randomized. Since  is of order kF-1, this results
+
+in
+
+a
+
+current
+
+in
+
+the
+
+y-direction
+
+of
+
+the
+
+order
+
+of
+
+e2 h
+
+Ex
+
+,
+
+which
+
+gives rise to a non-zero contribution to xcfy that is inde-
+
+pendent of the mean free path.
+
+In the second part we consider the effect of an applied
+
+electric field on the scattering. In the presence of that
+
+field the change in position associated with the side-jump
+
+implies that the scattering of the composite fermion in-
+
+volves also a change in its kinetic energy. As explained
+
+below, that change results in another contribution to the
+
+Hall current, equal in magnitude and sign to the first con-
+
+tribution. Throughout this subsection, we assume n = 1,
+
+and return to units where e = = 1.
+
+1. Scattering rate of a single composite fermion
+
+For the first part, suppose that a composite fermion, described by a Gaussian wave packet, centered at a momentum k0 on the Fermi surface, is incident on the impurity. As discussed in Appendix B of NL, we may write the wave function of the CF as
+
+(r, t) = Ck(t)eik�r
+
+(37)
+
+k
+
+Ck = Ck0 + Ck1 + Ck2,
+
+(38)
+
+where Ck0 describes the incident wave:
+
+Ck0 = N e-ikte-(k-k0)2/22
+
+(39)
+
+where k is the energy of a fermion of wave vector k, and N is a normalization constant, and C1 and C2 are of order U and U 2 respectively. (Note that the incident
+wave packet is centered at the origin at time t = 0.) In
+the limit of large positive times one finds that
+
+Ck1 = -2i Ukk (k - k )Ck0
+
+(40)
+
+k
+
+Ck2 = -42
+
+Ukk Uk k (k - k ) � (41)
+
+kk
+
+�(k - k )Ck0 .
+
+As noted in NL, the average position of the particle at time t can be written as
+
+i 2
+
+Ck
+
+Ck k
+
+-
+
+Ck
+
+Ck k
+
+=
+
+|Ck|2rk,
+
+(42)
+
+k
+
+k
+
+9
+
+where
+
+
+
+rk
+
+=
+
+- Arg k
+
+Ck.
+
+(43)
+
+There are two contributions to the shift of the average
+position. The first is seen when we consider a momentum
+k in the scattered wave, with |k - k0| , so that Ck0 = 0. Then, to lowest order, Ck may be replaced by Ck1, and the phase is equal to the phase of C1. Using (23) for U , we find that C1 has an extra argument, beyond the contribution from e-ikt, arising from the complex value of Ukk . This extra argument has the form Arg Ck1  -q2/[2z^ � (k � k0)], and it leads to an extra displacement of the center of the scattered wave packet by an amount
+
+r(k1)
+
+=
+
+z^ � k - 2kF2 .
+
+(44)
+
+The second contribution to the average displacement
+comes from weight that has been asymmetrically re-
+moved from the incident part of the wave packet, where k is close to k0. Here there is an interference between C0 and C2. If one assumes that V (q) is vanishing for q = 0,
+then one finds that the contribution from this term is
+given by
+
+r0 = |Ck1|2(z^ � k)/(2kF2 ).
+
+(45)
+
+k
+
+Summing the two contributions we find that the net displacement ("side jump") associated with a particle that scatters from a direction k0 into direction k = k0 + q depends on the transferred momentum, and is given by
+
+(z^ � q)
+
+rq = - (2kF2 ) .
+
+(46)
+
+This side jump contributes directly to the total current through a net charge displacement per unit time
+
+J = f (k)Wk,k rk -k,
+k,k
+
+(47)
+
+where f (k) is the occupation probability for a state of
+momentum k, and Wk,k is the transition probability [see Eq. (52) below]. We can express the side-jump contri-
+bution J in terms of the current in the absence of that contribution, J0 = k f (k)k/m. Using Eq. (46) for the displacement, and noticing that the transport scattering
+rate is given by
+
+1 
+
+
+Wk,k (1 - k^ � k^ )
+
+(48)
+
+k
+
+we can simplify Eq. (47) to
+
+m
+
+J = - 2 kF2 J0 � z^.
+
+(49)
+
+Since,
+
+to
+
+leading
+
+order,
+
+J0
+
+=
+
+ne  m
+
+E,
+
+the
+

+
+term
+
+leads
+
+to
+
+a contribution to xcfy of the form
+
+xsjy
+

+
+(50)
+
+2. Scattering rate in a composite fermion liquid in the presence of an electric field
+
+Eq. (50) is half of the amount we need for PH symmetry. The second half is a consequence of having a liquid of composite fermions, in which an applied electric field affects the occupation of momentum states. While the scattering rate from momentum k to momentum k is symmetric with respect to the sign of (k � k ) � z^ for a single composite fermion in the absence of an electric field, the situation is more complicated in the presence of both a liquid of composite fermions and an electric field. In that case, due to the electric field the side-jump is associated with a change of the composite fermion's kinetic energy by an amount eE � rq. The effect of this change of energy on the transport is best understood by means of the Boltzmann equation. For dc transport in the presence of impurities the equation reads
+
+F � kf = - Wk,k (f (k) - f (k )), (51)
+k
+where
+
+Wk,k = 2|Vk,k |2( k + F � rq - k ) (52)
+
+Here f0 is the Fermi-Dirac distribution, F = eE is the force acting on the composite fermions, is the energy,
+
+and V is the disordered potential. The -function ex-
+
+presses the change of the kinetic energy incurred by the
+
+scattered electron, a change which is our main focus here.
+
+As customary, linear response to F is analyzed by set-
+
+ting f to be f0 on the left-hand side of (51) and by writing
+
+f (k)
+
+=
+
+f0
+
++ f1
+
+=
+
+f0
+
++
+
+f0 
+
+u
+

+
+vk
+
+on
+
+the
+
+right-hand
+
+side.
+
+The transfer of energy affects the expansion of the distri-
+
+bution functions on the right hand side. Specifically we
+
+have,
+
+-
+
+f0 
+
+u
+
+�
+
+k Wk,k (f (k) - f (k )) =
+
+k

+v(k
+
+))
+
++
+
+f0 
+
+Wk,k
+
+F
+
+�
+
+rq
+
+.
+
+We now make use of the definition of the transport scattering rate (48) to write the Boltzmann equation as
+
+z^ � k F � vk - 2kF2 
+
+f0 = u � vk f0 ,
+
+
+
+
+
+(53)
+
+which amounts to
+
+f1(k) =  F �
+
+z^ � k vk - 2kF2 
+
+f0 . 
+
+(54)
+
+As this expression shows, in the limit of a small scattering rate 1/ the shift of the Fermi sea that results from the application of the electric field is primarily parallel to the electric field, but includes also a small term perpendicular to the field. This term contributes to the Hall conductivity.
+
+10
+
+The current is J = dkf1(k)vk, with dk =
+
+m (2)2
+
+d d. The angular integral gives  for both com-
+
+ponents of the current (each component from a different
+
+term), leading to xcfx =
+
+kF vF 4
+
+
+
+,
+
+and
+
+xcfy
+
+=
+
+-
+

+
+.
+
+This
+
+contribution to the Hall conductivity adds to the side-
+
+jump contribution calculated in the previous subsection,
+
+with
+
+the
+
+sum
+
+of
+
+the
+

+
+D. Thermopower and thermal transport
+
+1. General considerations
+
+In this subsection, we again restore and the electron charge e. The formulas are correct for either sign of e, provided that the product of the electron charge and the z-component of the external magnetic field is positive. For eB < 0, the x and y axes should be interchanged.
+The thermoelectric and thermal responses for the CFs can be obtained from standard results for non-interacting fermions, based on interpreting the CF conductivity in terms of an energy-dependent conductivity c�f () through
+
+�cf =
+
+c�f ()
+
+f -
+
+
+d,
+
+(55)
+
+with f the Fermi distribution. We explore the consequences, making use only of the fact that xcfy = -(e2/4n ), independent of the Fermi energy, and hence that dcxfy/d = 0. Here we focus on the  = 1/2 state with n = 1.
+Although observations of thermal effects require that the temperature should not be too small, the calculations here also assume that the temperature should not be too high. In particular, we assume that the temperature is sufficiently low that the mean free path for inelastic scattering of composite fermions is large compared to the mean free path for elastic scattering by impurities. This restriction becomes more severe as the sample becomes more ideal.
+
+2. Thermopower
+
+The heat current jQ = jE - �jN induced by a field
+Ecf applied to the CFs is described by a response function, j�Q = Lc�f Ecf, assuming that the temperature is a constant. For a non-interacting Fermi gas, at low tem-
+peratures, expanding around the Fermi level leads to the
+general result
+
+Lc�f
+
+=
+
+2kB2 T 2 3e
+
+dc�f dE
+
+.
+
+(56)
+
+Since the Hall conductivity of the CFs is fixed to xcfy = -e2/2h, requiring dcxfy/dE = 0, then
+
+Lc�f = Lcxfx� .
+
+(57)
+
+This (diagonal) result is of the form required by PH symmetry, as discussed in [31], so that �cf and Lc�f are each characterized by a single non-universal quantity, xcfx = ycfy and Lcxfx = Lcyfy.
+To construct the thermoelectric response tensor for the
+electrons (not the CFs), one must take account of the fact
+that the electric field that couples to the electrons is
+
+E = E cf + ^CSj
+
+(58)
+
+where j is the current of either electrons or CFs and
+
+^CS  -4 ^.
+
+(59)
+
+e2
+
+The response tensors for the electrons are readily found to be
+
+^ = ^cf(1 + ^CS^cf)-1 L^ = L^cf(1 + ^CS^cf)-1 .
+
+(60) (61)
+
+With our specific forms of ^cf and L^cf, these become
+
+e2
+
+e2
+
+^ =
+
+^+
+
+,
+
+(62)
+
+4
+
+4 xcfx
+
+L^ = ^ e2Lcxfx . 4 xcfx
+
+(63)
+
+In a thermopower experiment, one measures a voltage gradient induced when there is a heat current, but no electric current, flowing through the sample. Making use of an Onsager relation[43], as well as the relations between CF and electron coefficients, one finds
+
+1 S� = T
+
+L^ (^cf)-1
+
+�
+
+=
+
+1 T
+
+Lcxfx
+
+(^cf)-1 � .
+
+(64)
+
+We see that the thermopower tensor has non-zero offdiagonal elements, since �cf is not diagonal. This contrasts with predictions based on a naive application of the HLR theory, pointed out by [31], in which the offdiagonal thermopower vanishes. It recovers the central result of their PH symmetric theory.
+
+3. Thermal Transport
+
+In a thermal transport experiment, one seeks to measure the heat current jQ induced by a temperature gradient T , under conditions where the electrical current is zero. As shown in Ref. [13], the diagonal thermal conductivity Kxx at  = 1/2 should be related by the Wiedemann-Franz law to the conductivity of the composite fermions, that is
+
+Kxx
+
+=
+
+xcfx
+
+
+
+2kB2 3e2
+
+T
+
+.
+
+(65)
+
+This result is obtained in both the HLR theory and the Dirac theory. Note that the thermal conductivity will
+
+11
+
+become large as the mean free path becomes large, while the diagonal electrical conductivity xx approaches zero in this limit.
+It was also suggested in Ref. [16] that for a system confined to the lowest Landau level, with a particle-hole symmetric distribution of impurities, the off-diagonal thermal conductivity should be given precisely by
+
+Kxy
+
+=
+
+1 2kB2 T 2 6
+
+=
+
+xy
+
+2kB2 T 3e2
+
+.
+
+(66)
+
+However, in an actual experiment in a strong magnetic field, one expects that thermal gradients and currents will be quite inhomogeneous, and a major part of the thermal Hall current will be associated with chiral heat flow near the sample boundaries, where particle-hole symmetry is strongly broken[43]. Moreover, the transverse heat flow will be small compared to the longitudinal heat current, if the disorder scattering is weak. A proper analysis of the transverse heat flow is, therefore, a non-trivial problem, which we shall not address here.
+
+IV. COMMENSURABILITY OSCILLATIONS
+
+An important property investigated in HLR, which turns out to be sensitive to PH symmetry, was the wavevector dependent longitudinal conductivity, xx(q), for a wave vector q in the x-direction, in the limit of frequency   0. Precisely at  = 1/2, In the absence of impurities, it was found, using the RPA that
+
+q
+
+xx(q) = 8kF ,
+
+(67)
+
+independent of the renormalized mass or the bare mass. Subsequent analyses supported the idea that this result should be correct to all orders in perturbation theory, even in the case of short range electron-electron interactions or of 1/r interactions, where the effective mass is found to diverge at the Fermi energy[8]. In the presence of disorder, it was predicted that Eq (67) should hold for qlcf 1, where lcf is the transport mean free path for the composite fermions. For qlcf 1, the electrical conductivity approaches a constant, given by
+
+1
+
+xx(q
+
+=
+
+0)
+
+
+
+. 4kF lcf
+
+(68)
+
+(This equation may be taken as a definition of lcf). The non-trivial q-dependence of xx results from an
+inverse q-dependence of the transverse conductivity for composite fermions, which is non-local, because at  = 1/2, the composite fermions can travel in straight lines for distances of the order of lcf, which can be very large compared to the inter-particle distance kF-1. For filling factors that differ slightly from  = 1/2, the composite fermions will no longer travel in straight lines, but rather should follow cyclotron orbits with an effective cyclotron
+
+radius given by
+
+RC
+
+=
+
+kF . |B|
+
+(69)
+
+One would expect, therefore, that the conductivity
+should become independent of q for wavelengths large compared to RC , or qRC 1. Analysis at the RPA level, using a semiclassical description of the composite fermion
+trajectories, found that the value of the conductivity in
+this regime is essentially the same as the q = 0 conductivity at  = 1/2. By contrast, in the regime qRC  1, if lcf  RC , one finds that the longitudinal conductivity depends on q and |B|, and is a non-monotonic function
+of these variables. If either q or B is varied, one finds a
+series of maxima and minima, with the maxima occurring
+roughly at points which satisfy Eq. (1), or equivalently
+
+qRC  zn.
+
+(70)
+
+Since
+
+zn
+
+
+
+(n +
+
+1 4
+
+),
+
+with
+
+a
+
+high
+
+degree
+
+of
+
+accuracy,
+
+it is natural to describe the oscillatory dependence as
+
+a commensurability phenomenon, with maxima in xx where the diameter of the cyclotron orbit is approxi-
+
+mately (n + 1/4) times the wavelength 2/q. The cal-
+
+culated peaks and valleys are generally broad if qlcf is of order unity, but the peaks are predicted to become
+
+sharp, and the positions of the maxima to become more
+
+precisely defined, in the limit of a clean sample and small
+
+B.
+
+Experimentally, the values of xx(q, ), at relatively low frequencies, have been extracted from accurate mea-
+
+surements of the propagation velocity of surface acoustic
+
+waves, as a function of acoustic wavelength and applied
+
+magnetic field, in a sample containing a two-dimensional
+
+electron gas, by Willett and coworkers[44]. These surface
+
+acoustic wave experiments were, in fact, very important
+
+in establishing the validity of the HLR picture.
+
+Another type of commensurability oscillation, com-
+
+monly referred to as Weiss oscillations, may be ob-
+
+served by measuring the dc resistivity in the presence
+
+of a periodic electrostatic potential, which may be im-
+
+posed by a periodic array of gates or etched defects on
+
+the surface[45�51]. In this case, theory predicts, and ex-
+
+periments have seen, maxima in the resistivity at mag-
+
+netic fields where the wave vector q of the array satisfies
+
+approximately Eq (1) or (70).
+
+In the following subsections, we shall examine a third
+
+type of commensurability oscillation related to the exis-
+
+tence of local minima in the spectrum (q) of so-called
+
+magnetoroton excitations in a fractional quantized Hall
+
+state with  close to 1/2. Magnetorotons may be un-
+
+derstood as bound states of a quasiparticle in the lowest
+
+empty composite-Fermion Landau level and a quasihole
+
+in the highest filled level. As was discussed by Simon
+
+and Halperin[10], the spectrum should have a series of
+
+minima, at wave vectors given approximately by Eq. (1),
+
+which become increasingly sharp for small values of |B|.
+
+The frequencies (q) are manifest as poles in the response
+
+12
+
+function to an applied electric field at frequency  and wave vector q. For certain filling fractions the magnetoroton minima have been numerically calculated using composite fermion trial wave functions[52].
+Although the magnetoroton spectrum may be difficult to measure experimentally in the region of interest to us1, it has a big advantage from a theoretical point of view compared to predictions for the magnetoresistance in a periodic potential or the zero-frequency longitudinal conductance. The last two quantities are well defined only in the presence of a small but finite density of impurities. However, the behavior of a partially full compositefermion Landau level in the presence of weak impurity scattering may be quite complicated, and is certainly not well understood. By contrast, the magnetoroton spectrum may be studied in system without impurities, in a fractional quantized Hall state where there is an energy gap and where the magnetoroton may be precisely defined, as the lowest energy excitation for the given value of q. We shall comment briefly on our understanding of the Weiss oscillations at the end of this section.
+The requirements imposed by PH symmetry on the magnetoroton minima were stated in the Introduction. They are not satisfied in a naive application of the HLR approach. Below we show how they are satisfied by a more careful application of the HLR theory.
+
+A. Magnetoroton spectrum at  = p/(2p + 1)
+
+We now look for the dispersion minima of the magneto-
+
+roton modes within the HLR composite fermion theory,
+
+at
+
+filling
+
+fraction
+
+
+
+=
+
+p 2p+1
+
+,
+
+when
+
+|p|
+
+is
+
+large.
+
+The
+
+mag-
+
+netoroton frequencies will appear as poles in the current
+
+response matrix W^ (q, ) to an electric field E at wave
+
+vector q and frequency , defined by
+
+j(q, ) = W^ E(q, ).
+
+(71)
+
+We shall take q to lie along the x-axis, so the indices x and y refer to longitudinal and transverse components respectively.
+Our analysis will follow closely the work of SH[10], and we shall first consider the response function using the RPA. Following Eqs. (27) and (28) of SH, we may write
+
+W^ -1 = ^ + U^ ,
+
+(72)
+
+^ = ^cf(q, ) + ^CS,
+
+(73)
+
+where ^cf(q, ) = (^cf)-1(q, ) is the resistivity tensor of the composite fermions, and U^ has matrix elements
+
+q2 Uxx = i  v2(q), Uxy = Uyx = Uyy = 0, (74)
+
+1 However, the magnetoroton spectrum has been successfully measured at filling fractions 2/5, 3/7 and 4/9 by Kukushkin et al.[53].
+
+where v2 is the two-body interaction, defined above.
+According to SH, the composite fermion conductivity tensor, for a general value of p, can be expressed in terms of an infinite sum of terms involving associated Laguerre polynomials. It the limit of large p, one can employ a semiclassical approximation, where the sums can be carried out, and one can write the conductivity tensor in closed form in terms of Bessel functions. For the moment, we shall employ this semiclassical approximation, and shall comment later on the corrections that would be expected if one were to employ the full expressions for ^cf(q, ).
+

+
+(76)
+
+We begin by looking for the poles of the physical conductivity tensor, which correspond to zeros of Det(). To leading order in 1/p, these poles are located at the zeros of Det(cf), which would yield dispersion minima at X = zn, R = 0 where zn is the n'th zero of the Bessel function J1. Here, however, we calculate the momenta ( X) at these dispersion minima to next order in 1/p and address the question of their PH symmetry near halffilling.

+
+(87)
+
+As we will see below, the exact values of qn and n will receive significant corrections once we take other effects into account. However, particle-hole symmetry of the dispersion will still hold even after we include all the leading corrections.
+
+2. Corrections for the poles of W^
+
+We now discuss various corrections to the above re-
+sult. The regime we are interested in, for p 1, will have X  1/p and R  1/p1/2. In this regime, the components of ^cf in Eq. (77) will be of order p1/2 or p0,
+and any correction of higher order in 1/p will not affect
+our results.
+
+First we consider Fermi-liquid corrections including
+
+mass renormalization and the residual Landau interac-
+
+tion. To incorporate mass renormalization we simply
+
+replace c by c = B/m. This leads to a violation of Kohn's theorem and the f -sum rule, which has
+
+to be compensated by introducing the proper Landau in-
+
+teraction parameter F1. The Landau parameter leads to
+
+another contribution to the diagonal components of the
+
+composite
+
+fermion
+
+resistivity
+
+tensor,
+
+cxfx
+
+=
+
+i(m -m) nel
+
+,
+
+which is of order 1/p3/2 in the regime we consider. This
+
+will not change our result for the dispersion minima.
+
+We can also consider corrections to the semiclassical expression of cf in Eq. (77), for example from the full quantum-mechanical summation in Appendix A of SH.[10] Since we expect the semiclassical expression to be justified in the large p limit (which has been explicitly demonstrated recently in [54]), the corrections should be formally higher order in 1/p. In principle several leading
+
+14
+
+order corrections are possible:
+
+xcfy
+
+=
+
+p a,
+|p|
+
+ycfy
+
+=
+
+ip b
+|p|R
+
+ipX +c
+|p|R
+
+i +d ,
+pR
+
+(88)
+
+where other types of corrections are either higher order in 1/p (taking into account X  R  1/p), or forbidden by general constraints. These constraints include cf being odd under p  -p when fixing R, and xcfx, ycfy being odd under R  -R when fixing p. Both constraints are closely related to the symmetry of the conductivity matrix elements under a change of the sign of the frequency. These terms would give rise to corrections to the dispersion curve in Eq. (80), which would lead to corrections of the locations of the dispersion minima, so that
+
+1
+
+Xn = zn
+
+1- + 4p |p|
+
+,
+
+(89)
+
+with some constant . The actual momenta at the dispersion minima would thus be shifted to
+
+
+
+qn
+
+
+
+zn B 2|p|
+
+1 1- +
+2p |p|
+
+.
+
+(90)
+
+These corrections beyond the semiclassical approximation could indeed shift the momenta of the magneto-roton minima at order 1/p2. However, this correction would be symmetric in p  -p - 1 (at order 1/p2), so particle-hole symmetry is still preserved at this order.
+The correction terms in (88) will also lead to a correction of the frequencies at the minima:
+
+(n2 )Quantum
+
+
+
+ p
+
+(c)2
+
+,
+
+(91)
+
+with some constant . This gives a frequency n of order p-1/2c , which is parametrically larger than the semiclassical result in Eq. (87).
+We have calculated numerically the values of the coefficients a, b, c and d in Eq. (88) at the first two magnetoroton minima, n = 1, 2. We find that the coefficients a, b, and c are all zero, and consequently,  = 0 in Eqs. (89) and(90). The values of d, are nonzero, however, being equal to 0.082 at n = 1 and and 0.297 at n = 2. These lead to values of  equal to 0.0046 and 0.029, respectively, in Eq. (91). Hence, corrections due to the difference between the semiclassical expressions in terms of Bessel functions, and the full quantum sum in SH can affect the frequency at the magnetoroton minimum, but do not actually contribute a shift in the wave vectors, to order |B|2.
+Finally we notice that the real dispersion curve is given by the poles of the full response tensor W^ in Eq. (72). This modifies Eq. (79) to
+
+Det(W^ -1cf) = Det(1 - 4^cf + U^ cf) = 0. (92)
+
+This leads to an extra term
+
+Uxxxcfx
+
+=
+
+(1 - J02(zn))|p|q2v2(q) zn2 |c|
+
+(93)
+
+on the right hand side of the dispersion relation in
+
+Eq. (80). Generically this term is dominating over the
+
+other terms in Eq. (80). To see this, let us consider very
+
+long-ranged

+
+

+
+which

+ |p|1+X1-
+
+ zn1-|p|1+ + (1 - )zn-|p|1+X,
+
+(94)
+
+where we have used the fact that c  1/p. The first term  |p|1+ dominates over the other terms in the original dispersion curve Eq. (80). Its effect is to set the frequency at the dispersion minima, in leading order, to be

+pcqn2 v2(qn) (1 - J02(zn))

+
+(95)
+
+In the physical case of Coulomb repulsion, v2(q) = 2/ q where is the dielectric constant, (95) still gives the leading result for the minimum frequency, but one should take into account the variation of  due to logarithmic divergence of the effective mass. Specifically it is predicted that [11, 55]

+
+(96)
+
+where the constant C depends on the bare mass and on the behavior of the interaction at short distances. For pure Coulomb interactions and vanishing bare mass, the best available estimate is C  4.1[55].
+The second term in Eq. (94) leads to a shift in the momenta at the minima, giving

+
+(97)
+
+The extra shift is parametrically dominating, but it does not depend on the sign of p, so it does not affect particlehole symmetry, at least to the order |p|-2 that we are considering. For Coulomb repulsion the correction is of the form  log|p|/|p|, which is again particle-hole symmetric.
+The predicted magnetoroton spectrum for the symmetric fractions  = 20/41 and  = 21/41 are plotted in Figure 1, at our various levels of approximation, for the case of pure Coulomb interactions.

The curve labeled "RPA + Coulomb" shows the magnetoroton spectrum computed in the HLR approach, including the correction due to the Coulomb interaction. The curves labeled "RPA" and "Semiclassical" show the locations of the poles in the electron conductivity tensor ^(q, ), which does not include the interaction effect, computed in the Random Phase Approximation and semiclassical approximation, respectively. Curves for  = 20/41 and  = 21/41 could not be distinguished in these plots. The expanded figure in the lower panel includes for comparison a naive approximation, which identifies the magnetoroton spectrum with the zeros of the determinant of the composite fermion conductivity ^cf(q, ). Although the naive approximation coincides with the RPA and semiclassical approximations to leading order in the deviation from  = 1/2, it deviates from them at second order and is not symmetric about  = 1/2 at this order.
+
+B. Magnetorotons near  = 1/(2N )
+
+The analysis given above can be readily extended to the magnetoroton spectrum in fractional quantized Hall states of the form

+

+
+(98)
+
+2pN + 1
+
+where N is an integer > 1, which are close to  = 1/(2N ), for large |p|. Here we define B as

+
+(99)
+
+which is the difference between B and the value corresponding to  = 1/(2N ) at the given electron density. Using the same analysis as for N = 1, we find that the minima of the lowest magnetoroton modes occur at momentum values qn which depend on the absolute value, but not on the sign, of B, at least through order |B|2, provided we compare systems with different electron densities but the same magnetic field B. Specifically, we have
+
+qn
+
+=
+
+zn
+
+|eB|lB N 1/2
+
+,
+
+(100)
+
+up to small corrections which are symmetric in B. Along with our previous result that in the presence of PHsymmetric disorder, the Hall conductance at  = 1/(2N ) is fixed at 1/(4N ), at least through second order in the impurity scattering rate, this suggests that there is a type of emergent particle-hole symmetry near all these even-denominator fillings.
+Interestingly, a similar type of emergent particle-hole symmetry was found also when the energy gaps EG of fractional quantum Hall states at filling factors close to 1/(2N ) were calculated for electrons interacting through the Coulomb interaction. The energy gap, in this case, is predicted to have the form [11]
+
+|| 
+
+e2 , (101)
+
+2 lBN 3/2|2pN + 1|[C + ln |2pN + 1|]
+
+which reduces to Eq. (96) for N = 1. This expression is predicted to be exact in the limit of large p, and the leading logarithmic term is independent of the bare mass of the electron electron. Moreover, the result is symmetric in B, at least to lowest order. However, the possibility of asymmetric corrections at second order in B was not investigated.
+
+C. Weiss oscillations
+As remarked above, a proper analysis of the experiments measuring the resistivity in the presence of an imposed periodic potential with wave vector q would require a careful analysis of the effects of impurity scattering at filling factors away from  = 1/2, which is beyond the scope of the current paper. However, one can gain insight into the problem from a very recent investigation by Cheung, Raghu and Mulligan ([56] and private communications). They have calculated the change in resistivity xx produced by a weak modulating potential in an approximation where they treat impurities in a simple relaxation approximation, where the relaxation rate is take to be a constant, independent of B and the
+
+16
+
+scattering wave vector, etc. Although the bulk of their paper is based on the Son-Dirac model, they also present results based on the HLR equations.
+Treating the ratio x = V (r)m/b(r) as a free parameter, where V is the residual screened electric potential produced by the external periodic potential and b is the induced Chern-Simons magnetic field seen by the composite fermions, they find a series of curves for the induced magnetoresistance, as a function of B whose shapes depend on x. When x = 1/2, they find that the HLR prediction coincides precisely with the Dirac prediction and is properly symmetric in B, when the density is varied while B is held fixed. In particular, when x = 1/2, it is predicted that there will be minima in xx at magnetic fields that satisfy
+
+B 1/2 q
+
+|B| 
+
+.
+
+e
+
+zn
+
+(102)
+
+According to the discussion in Subsection III A of the present paper, leading to Eq. (21), the value x = 1/2 is indeed the proper choice for that parameter. (We note that the Weiss oscillations are measured at a temperature T that is larger than the energy scale |B|/m, so that the electron compressibility may be taken to be the same as at  = 1/2.)
+The fact that one must take into account modulations in the Chern-Simons scalar potential as well as in the Chern-Simons magnetic field, in order to understand in a quantitative way the effects of an imposed periodic potential on the electrical resistivity, was previously emphasized by Zwerschke and Gerhardts [51]. Also, a correct formula for the magnetoresistance in the presence of modulations in both the screened electrostatic potential and the effective magnetic field b was contained in Ref. [30] by Barkeshli, Mulligan, and Fisher. In that paper, however, authors then ignored the electrostatic potential on the grounds that its effects would be small compared to the effect of b, so they did not obtain the small correction necessary to restore the PH symmetry.
+Although the resistance minima observed experimentally in Ref. [45] do obey particle-hole symmetry, the actual positions deviate (symmetrically) from the values predicted by Eq. (102), by amounts of order |B|2. We do not know whether these deviations could be explained by a theory that includes the effects of impurity scattering in a more accurate way.
+It should be emphasized that theoretical discussions about presence or absence of particle-hole symmetry generally refer to a situation where nel is varied while B is held constant. In experiments, however, it is most common to vary B while nel is held constant. In that mode of operation, features that occur at positions we consider symmetric, such as those given by Eq. (102), will appear asymmetric in the data, by amounts of order |B|2. By contrast, the values of |B| given by the naive HLR theory, where modulations in the ChernSimons scalar potential are ignored, would appear symmetric about  = 1/2 in the data.
+
+D. Ambiguity of kF
+The question of what determines the Fermi momentum kF of composite fermions, away from half-filling, has played a significant role in the literature[30, 45, 57]. Naively, there are three possible answers depending on which theory one uses: in HLR theory the Fermi volume is given by the particle density, in anti-HLR it is given by the hole density, and in Son-Dirac it is given by the half of the flux density. These answers are identical at  = 1/2, but deviate from one another away from half-filling. However, one should be more careful when addressing this issue.
+There are two sources of confusion regarding kF . First, kF of the composite fermions is not a sharply defined quantity away from half-filling, since the composite fermions move in a nonzero effective magnetic field B and do not have a sharp Fermi surface. The ambiguity in the definition of kF , set by the inverse effective cyclotron radius, is of order B. The differences in kF determined from electron, hole or flux densities are also of this order, so the three answers are identical within this intrinsic ambiguity.
+A subtler point is that kF itself is not a measurable quantity, especially away from  = 1/2. What can be measured in commensurability oscillation experiments are the commensurability momenta qn. Past work has inferred kF from qn via Eq. (1). However, the simple relation Eq. (1) is valid only to leading order in B. Once we go to higher order in B, which is necessary to differentiate particle-density from hole-density, the simple relation Eq. (1) no longer holds and a more careful calculation is needed. This is exactly what we did in the earlier parts of this Section. Our results show that the commensurability momenta are indeed particle-hole symmetric, even though in HLR theory kF , which is not an observable by itself, appears to be formally PH asymmetric.

+external magnetic field,  are the Pauli spin matrices, and
+Lint is a term which represents the two-body interaction v2. The velocity vD is an input parameter, like the effective mass m in the HLR theory, which must be taken
+either from experiment or from an independent micro-
+scopic calculation. We shall be interested in a situation
+
+17
+
+in which the Fermi level is inside the band of positive en-
+
+ergy fermion states. The lower Dirac band is integrated
+
+out,
+
+which
+
+produces
+
+the
+
+�
+
+1 8
+
+ada
+
+term.
+
+The Son-Dirac Lagrangian becomes explicitly PH sym-
+
+metric if one takes the limit mD  0. In this limit, the contribution of the ada term is precisely canceled by
+
+the contribution from the Berry curvature, which is com-
+
+pletely concentrated at the bottom of the occupied states
+
+in the positive energy Dirac band. Then, the Lagrangian
+
+may be replaced by a form in which mD is precisely zero and the ada term is simply omitted; i.e., there is no
+
+longer a Chern-Simons term in the action for the gauge
+
+field a� In the following discussion, we confine ourselves to the case mD=0, except where otherwise specified.
+In the Son-Dirac formulation, the composite fermions
+
+see an effective magnetic field b(r) which is related to the
+
+electron density and the applied magnetic field in the
+
+same way as in HLR:
+
+b =  � a = 4nel -  � A.
+
+(105)
+
+However, the electron density and the composite fermion density are no longer identical. Rather, the density of Dirac composite fermions is tied to the (local) value of the magnetic field

+
+
+

+
+(106)
+
+Similarly, the current of the Dirac fermions is related to the local electric field by

+1
+
+jDF
+
+=
+
+- 4
+
+z^
+
+�
+
+E,
+
+(107)
+
+while the effective electric field felt by the Dirac fermions is given by
+
+eDF = -a0 - ta = z^ � (4jel - E).
+
+(108)
+
+The electrical conductivity tensor, for a long-wavelength electric field is then given by
+
+^ = ^DF + ^CS,
+
+(109)
+
+where ^DF = (^DF)-1 is the resistivity tensor of the Dirac fermions, and
+
+1 ^CS = ^.
+4
+
+(110)
+
+As in the HLR theory the presence of potential disorder will cause fluctuations in electron density, which will lead to fluctuations in the effective field b(r) proportional to the self-consistent electric potential V (r). Potential fluctuations do not lead to fluctuations in a0 or in the effective electric field e. Therefore, if the potential fluctuations are statistically PH symmetric, so that all odd moments of b are zero, the Dirac fermions will see a field that is statistically time-reversal symmetric, and ^DF will be purely diagonal. Therefore, we recover xy = 1/4 as required by particle hole symmetry.
+
+At a finite frequency , in the absence of impurities, in the RPA, the resistivity tensor for Dirac fermions is readily calculated to be
+
+^DF = -im/nel
+
+(111)
+
+where m = kF /vD. As this is purely diagonal, the ac Hall conductivity remains fixed at the value required by PH symmetry. However, the diagonal conductivity xx predicted by (109) does not agree with the result xx() = 0, which is required by Kohn's theorem in the limit where the electron mass m  0, and electrons are restricted to the lowest Landau level. As remarked above, this can be corrected, beyond the RPA, by including the effects of Landau interaction parameters F�1.
+Using the Son-Dirac Lagrangian for mD = 0, one predicts that fractional quantized Hall states should occur when
+
+B B = ,
+2pDF
+
+(112)
+
+where pDF is half of an odd integer, either positive or negative. This condition is obviously PH symmetric and it is equivalent to the HLR prediction, with the identification pDF = p + 1/2. The shift in the choice of indexing reflects the presence of a Berry phase of  for the Dirac fermions at the Fermi energy. The energy gaps in the quantized Hall states are given, within RPA by Eq. (14) with m replaced by m = kF /vD. As remarked previously, the gaps will obey PH symmetry provided that the velocity vD is assumed to depend on the magnetic field, and not on the electron density, or more generally, if vD is assumed to be an even function of B.
+According to PH symmetry, the magneto-exciton spectra should also be independent of the sign of B. The positions of the magnetoroton minima may be found, to lowest order in B, by tracking the dispersion of poles in the electrical conductivity ^(q, ), as was done in Subsection IV A 1 above in the HLR picture. Taking into account Eq. (109), we see that within the Dirac description, poles in ^(q, ) coincide with the occurrence of a zero in the determinant of the composite fermion conductivity tensor ^DF(q, ). Within the semiclassical approximation, these zeros occur at  = 0, if
+
+B1/2
+
+qn
+
+=
+
+zn
+
+. 2|pDF|
+
+(113)
+
+These values are clearly PH symmetric and are identical to the results obtained using HLR in Subsection IV A 1, through order |B|2. This result for Dirac composite fermions was also obtained in [58], to lowest order in |B|, with careful attention to interaction effects.
+As in the HLR case, the actual locations of the magnetoroton minima in the Dirac theory will be shifted from these values (by amounts small compared to qn), and the frequency values will be shifted from zero, due to interaction effects and to corrections to the semiclassical theory, but all such shifts should be symmetric in B.
+
+18
+
+Finally, we discuss properties of the Dirac Lagrangian (103) in the case where the Dirac mass mD is not set equal to zero, so the theory is not explicitly PH symmetric. As was observed by Son[1], in the non-relativistic limit, where mDvD kF , the Dirac action reduces precisely to the HLR action (4), after a redefinition of the gauge field, (a�  a� + A�). As we have seen, the HLR theory and the massless Dirac theory give identical results for long-wavelength low-energy properties in the limit of  = 1/2, so that PH symmetry reappears in this case. We find that there is a similar emergent PH symmetry for intermediate values of mD. Since the Lagrangian for the Dirac theory with finite mD includes a Chern-Simons term identical to that in the HLR theory, the relations between the composite fermion and the electronic response functions are identical in the two theories. The semiclassical theory for the minima of the magnetoroton spectra take the same form as we found in Section IV above, which implies that the spectrum is, again, symmetric in B, at least through order |B|2. Similarly, we find that the Hall conductance in the presence of impurities at  = 1/2 is fixed at 1/4, at least through order (1/lcf)2, under the same conditions that we assumed in the analysis of HLR in Section III.
+An apparent difference between HLR and a Dirac theory with finite mD is that in the latter case the fermions near the Fermi energy have a non-zero Berry curvature. This Berry curvature is the same as that which results from spin-orbit coupling in a semiconductor, which, as we have remarked, is responsible for side-jump contributions to the anomalous Hall effect in semiconductor models. However, in the limit of scattering wavevectors q much smaller than kF , which we have assumed in our analysis, the matrix element for the spin-orbit term is negligible compared to that from the screened impurity potential V or the effective magnetic field fluctuation b. Scattering from potential fluctuations with q of order kF would depend on renormalized matrix elements whose values are beyond the scope of an effective theory.
+In the Dirac theory with finite mD, fermions at the Fermi energy will have a Berry phase which is neither zero nor . In contrast with the Berry curvature, the total Berry phase has no direct effect on the dc Hall conductivity in the presence of impurities, but it does affect the ac Hall conductivity. Just as in HLR, the finite frequency Hall conductivity will deviate from 1/4 at order 2, unless the effect is counteracted by a non-zero Fermi-liquid interaction parameter, whose actual value will depend on details of the original microscopic theory.
+VI. CONCLUSIONS
+We have seen that in the limit of long wavelengths and low frequencies, with  close to 1/2, and in the limit of small disorder potential, the Son-Dirac and HLR theories make identical physical predictions for several key properties, provided that the HLR theory is properly
+
+evaluated. Both theories give results for these properties that are consistent with PH symmetry, even at the RPA level. In the Dirac theory, PH symmetry is put in by hand, at the outset, by setting the Dirac mass mD equal to zero. In the HLR theory, PH symmetry seems to emerge, asymptotically, in this limit, even though it is not put in at the beginning. Moreover, the PH symmetry seems to emerge even if the bare mass m is not taken to zero, which would be the condition for electrons to be confined to a single Landau level, where PH symmetry would be exact.
+In order to get the correct energy scale for the specific heat or for energy gaps in fractional quantized Hall states close to  = 1/2, at the RPA level, the bare mass m in HLR must be replaced by a renormalized mass m, whose value cannot be obtained within the theory itself. Similarly in the massless Dirac theory, one must use a renormalized value of the Fermi velocity vD. After these substitutions are made, however, neither the Dirac theory nor the HLR theory will give the correct response functions to perturbations at a finite frequency, unless one also includes the effects of the Landau interaction parameters Fl, for l = �1. In the HLR theory, this correction gives the correct frequency response, dictated by the Galilean invariance of the original model. In the limit m  0, this leads to a conductivity tensor ^() for a spatially uniform electric field that is independent of  and which, therefore, satisfies the requirement that xy() should be independent of frequency by PH symmetry, for electrons confined to the lowest Landau level. If the Landau interaction were omitted, however, an RPA calculation with the renormalized mass would incorrectly give a frequency-dependence to ^, which would result in a non-zero correction to xy() at order 2.
+In the Dirac theory, for mD = 0, one obtains correctly xy() = 1/4 at all frequencies, even at the simple RPA level, because of the explicit built in PH symmetry. However, the diagonal conductance xx() will be incorrect at order , unless one includes the Landau interaction correction.
+We have also investigated the positions of minima in the dispersion curve for magnetorotons, at quantized Hall states of the form  = p/(2p + 1), in the limit of large p, in the absence of impurity scattering. The minima of interest to us occur at wave vectors qn that are small compared to kF , and at frequencies that are small compared to the energy gap c = |B|/m, where B is the deviation of the magnetic field B from the value corresponding to  = 1/2, at the given electron density. Therefore, the positions of these minima are properly a subject for investigation in a theory that is supposed to be valid in the limit of long wavelengths and low frequencies. We have found that the HLR and Dirac theories give identical values for the location of these minima, consistent with PH symmetry, at least to order |B|2.
+It is more difficult to compare predictions of the two theories for correlation functions or response functions at a wave vector q that is not small compared to kF , even
+
+19
+
+if the frequency is arbitrarily small. An important example is the correlation function studied by Geraedts et al.[14]. The authors introduce an operator P (r) which is proportional to nel(r)2nel(r), projected to the lowest Landau level, and they study the correlation function for the Fourier transform, P-qPq , for q close to 2kF . According to the Dirac theory, this correlation function should have no observable singularity at q = 2kF , because P (r) is even under PH inversion, and fluctuations in such quantifies should not give rise to backscattering across the Fermi surface at q = 2kF . Geraedts et al. have studied this correlation function numerically, for electrons confined to the lowest Landau level at half filling, using density-matrix renormalization group (DMRG) methods, and have found the singularity to be missing, as predicted. By contrast, they do observe a singularity at q = 2kF , as expected, in the density correlation function ne-lqneql .
+There does not seem to be any obvious reason in HLR theory why P-qPq should be immune from a singularity at q = 2kF , even if one imposes the requirement of particle-hole symmetry. However, in order to actually calculate this response function in the HLR theory, one would have to know the correct form of the renormalized vertex that couples Pq to the composite fermions at q = 2kF . It is certainly possible that this quantity will vanish when m = 0, but at present, we do not have an argument to that effect. Thus, we cannot say that HLR and the Dirac theories make identical predictions for this property, but we can say that there is not a necessary contradiction between the two theories, in so far as the relevant vertices are unknown.
+The HLR and Dirac theories can both be extended to describe a situation where the Fermi surface turns out to be unstable to formation of Cooper pairs, with the result that the actual ground state is an incompressible fractional quantized Hall state, with an energy gap. As Son has observed, pairing in the Dirac theory must occur in a channel with even angular momentum, because of the Berry phase associated with the Dirac composite fermions. The three most obvious channels for pairing are then l = 0, 2, and -2. The symmetries of the l = 2 and l = -2 state coincide, respectively, with the of the well-known "Pfaffian" and "anti-Pfaffian" states, which are related to each other by PH conjugation[33�36]. The Dirac theory predicts that these two states should have identical energies, as is indeed required by PH symmetry, in the limit where electrons there are confined to a single Landau level, and there are only two-body interactions among them. Within the HLR theory, the Pfaffian and anti-Pfaffian states would be described by pairing in the channels l = 1 and l = -3 respectively. There is no obvious reason, within the theory, why these two states should have the same energy. However, such a coincidence is perfectly compatible with the theory; it means that for a PH symmetric system, the pairing interaction must be the same in the l = 1 and l = -3 channels. Pairing in the l = 0 channel of the Dirac
+
+model would lead to a new PH symmetric quantized Hall state, which Son named the PH-Pfaffian. Such a state would be described in HLR by pairing in the channel l = -1. There does not seem to be any numerical evidence that such a state would actually be the ground state of any quantum Hall system with realistic parameters. Wang and Chakravarty[59] argued that within a particular approximation scheme, the l = 0 pairing appears to be unfavorable in Dirac composite fermi liquid. However, Zucker and Feldman have suggested that the PH-Pfaffian state seems compatible with existing experiments, and the state could have been stabilized by disorder and Landau-level mixing[60]. (The PH-Pfaffian is equivalent to the "T-Pfaffian" state, which was proposed, independently, in the context of surface states of topological superconductors[61].)
+In summary, we have found no contradictions between physical predictions of the HLR and Son-Dirac theories for the low-energy properties of a half-filled Landau level. We find that the HLR approach is quite compatible with the existence of particle-hole symmetry, which is required in the case where the bare electron mass is taken to zero. For some properties this symmetry emerges automatically from the HLR theory, while in other cases it may be necessary to properly specify the value of parameters such as the Landau interactions strengths or a renormalized finite-momentum vertex. These results are all consistent with the point of view that the physics described by the particle-hole symmetric Son-Dirac theory is in fact a special case of the HLR theory.
+As this manuscript was nearing completion, however, we became aware of recent work by M. Levin and D. T. Son, which asserts that the HLR approach is not able to obtain the correct value for the Hall viscosity at  = 1/2, in the PH symmetric limit[62]. The Hall viscosity is reflected in a correction to the Hall conductance at nonzero wavevector q, which appears in the limit q  0 and   0, with  qvF . Although the Hall viscosity may be very difficult to measure experimentally, this suggests that there are theoretical problems that need to be resolved before we can determine the precise relation between the HLR and Son-Dirac theories. Therefore it is still possible that the two theories may eventually be physically distinct, in which case the difference in their measurable behaviors would be much subtler than previously believed. Of course, even if both theories agree, it remains possible that neither one is correct in all respects.

+Gravitational wave astronomy has set in motion a scientific revolution. To further enhance the science reach of this emergent field, there is a pressing need to increase the depth and speed of the gravitational wave algorithms that have enabled these groundbreaking discoveries. To contribute to this effort, we introduce Deep Filtering, a new highly scalable method for end-to-end time-series signal processing, based on a system of two deep convolutional neural networks, which we designed for classification and regression to rapidly detect and estimate parameters of signals in highly noisy time-series data streams. We demonstrate a novel training scheme with gradually increasing noise levels, and a transfer learning procedure between the two networks. We showcase the application of this method for the detection and parameter estimation of gravitational waves from binary black hole mergers. Our results indicate that Deep Filtering significantly outperforms conventional machine learning techniques, achieves similar performance compared to matched-filtering while being several orders of magnitude faster thus allowing real-time processing of raw big data with minimal resources. More importantly, Deep Filtering extends the range of gravitational wave signals that can be detected with ground-based gravitational wave detectors. This framework leverages recent advances in artificial intelligence algorithms and emerging hardware architectures, such as deep-learning-optimized GPUs, to facilitate real-time searches of gravitational wave sources and their electromagnetic and astro-particle counterparts.

+
+I. INTRODUCTION
+Gravitational wave (GW) astrophysics is by now a well established field of research. The advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational wave Observatory (aLIGO) detectors have detected four significant GW events, consistent with Einstein's general relativity predictions of binary black hole (BBH) mergers [1�4]. These major scientific breakthroughs, worthy of the 2017 Nobel Prize in Physics, have initiated a new era in astronomy and astrophysics. By the end of aLIGO's second discovery campaign, referred to as O2, the European advanced Virgo detector [5] joined aLIGO, establishing the first, three-detector search for GW sources in the advanced detector era. We expect that ongoing improvements in the sensitivity of aLIGO and Virgo within the next few months will continue to increase the number and types of GW sources.
+GW astrophysics is a multidisciplinary enterprise. Experimental and theoretical physics, cosmology, fundamental physics, high performance computing (HPC) and high throughout computing have been combined into a coherent program to revolutionize our understanding of the Universe. For instance, at the interface of HPC and theoretical physics, numerical relativity (NR) simulations of Einstein's field equations are extensively used to validate the astrophysical nature of GW transients [6]. Furthermore, NR simulations of binary neutron star (BNS) mergers, neutron star-black hole (NSBH) mergers, core collapse supernovae and other massive, relativistic systems provide key physical insights into the physics of systems that are expected to generate electromagnetic (EM) and astro-particle counterparts [7�12].
+Ongoing discovery campaigns with GW detectors and astronomical facilities [13�18] have already led to multimessenger observations of GW events and their EM counterparts [19�21]. These complementary observations have provided new and detailed information about the astrophysical origin, and cosmic evolution of ultra compact objects [7, 22� 27]. The time sensitive nature of these analyses requires al-
+
+gorithms that can detect and characterize GW events in realtime [28].
+aLIGO's flagship matched-filtering searches have been very successful at identifying and characterizing GW transients [29�32]. Looking ahead in the near future, GW discovery campaigns will be longer, and data will be gathered by a network of interferometers in several continents. In anticipation for this scenario, LIGO scientists now exploit stateof-the-art HPC facilities to increase the pool of computational resources to carry out for large scale GW data analysis. To maximize the science we can extract from GW observations, it is essential to cover a deeper parameter space of astrophysically motivated sources, i.e., we need to increase the dimensionality of existing GW searches from 3-dimensions (3D) to 9D1. Furthermore, accelerating parameter estimation algorithms, which typically last from several hours to a few days, is no trivial task since they have to sample a 15D parameter space [33]. This is a grand computational challenge given the compute intensive nature of large scale GW searches [34].
+To start addressing these pressing issues, we introduce Deep Filtering, a new machine (deep) learning algorithm, based on deep neural networks (DNNs) [35] to directly process highly noisy time-series data for both classification and regression. Deep Filtering consists of two deep convolutional neural networks [36] that directly take timeseries inputs and are capable of detecting and characterizing signals whose peak power is significantly weaker than that of the background noise. In this foundational article, we carry out a systematic assessment of DNNs trained to cover the stellar-mass, BBH parameter-space, where ground-based GW detectors are expected to have the highest detection rate [37]. As a first step, to construct and validate Deep Filtering,

+
+2
+
+we have used a dataset of inspiral-merger-ringdown (IMR) BBH waveforms for training [38].
+As discussed in [34], the computational cost of matchedfiltering searches increases significantly when targeting GW sources that span a higher dimensional parameter space. In contrast, when using deep learning, all the intensive computation is diverted to the one-time training stage, after which the datasets can be discarded, i.e., the size of template banks that describe the GW signals we search for present no limitation when using deep learning. Indeed, it is preferable to use large datasets of GW signals for the one-time training stage to cover as deep a parameter space as possible. With existing computational resources on supercomputers such as Blue Waters, we estimate that it would possible to finish training the DNNs on templates across 10 or more dimensions of parameters within a few weeks.
+The main objective in developing Deep Filtering is to enhance existing, low latency GW detection algorithms to enable deeper and faster GW searches. We envision using Deep Filtering to identify and rapidly constrain the astrophysical parameters of GW transients. This real-time analysis would then be followed up by existing LIGO pipelines focusing on a narrow region of GWs' higher dimensional parameter space. A targeted search of this nature will significantly reduce the size of multi-dimensional template banks, enabling the use of established matched-filtering searches at a fraction of their computational cost to quantify the significance of new GW detections. This approach would combine the best of two approaches: the scalable, multidimensional nature of neural networks with the sophistication of LIGO detection pipelines. To accomplish this, we are working with the developers of PyCBC [29] to implement Deep Filtering as a module to increase the depth and speed of this pipeline.
+The results we present in this article confirm that DNNs are ideal tools for future GW analysis. We have found that DNN are able to interpolate between waveform templates, in a similar manner to Gaussian Process Regression (GPR) 2, and to generalize to new classes of signals beyond the templates used for training. Furthermore, our DNNs can be evaluated faster than real-time with a single CPU, and very intensive searches over a broader range of signals can be easily carried out with one dedicated GPU. The intelligent nature of deep learning would allow automated learning of persistent and transient characteristics of noises inherent to the detectors, while incorporating real-time data quality information. This analysis, combined with recent work to understand and characterize aLIGO non-Gaussian noise transients [42, 43], strongly suggests that it is feasible to create a single efficient pipeline to perform all tasks--identifying the presence or absence of GW signals, classifying noise transients, and reconstructing the astrophysical properties of detected GW sources. Furthermore,
+2 GPR [39�41] is a statistical tool that can serve as a probabilistic interpolation algorithm providing information about the training set of NR simulations needed to accurately describe a given parameter-space and generates interpolated waveforms that match NR counterparts above any given accuracy.
+
+since this technique can be applied to other types of raw timeseries data, similar DNNs can be used to process telescope data, thus paving a natural path to realizing real-time multimessenger astrophysics with a unified framework.
+As NR continues to shed light into the physics of GW sources[6], we will rely on an extensive exploitation of HPC resources to obtain NR waveforms to train our DNN algorithm. At the same time, we are using HPC facilities to carry out large scale parameter sweeps to find optimal DNNs for GW detection and parameter estimation. The approach we discuss here employs recent advances in artificial intelligence algorithms, by computer scientists and industries, for accelerating scientific discovery by enhancing the use of traditional HPC resources, while allowing us to exploit emerging hardware architectures such as deep-learning-optimized Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) [44], Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) [45], Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) [46], quantum computers [47] and brainlike neuromorphic chips [48]. This approach may provide the needed platform to address common challenges on large scale data analytics on disparate fields of research to effectively consolidate different windows of observation into the Universe.
+This article is organized as follows: Section II provides a comprehensive overview of artificial neural networks and deep learning, particularly focusing on convolutional neural networks in the context of time-series signal processing. In Section III, we describe our assumptions, datasets, and procedure to construct the DNN-based GW analysis pipeline. We report the results of our analysis in Section IV. In Section V, we discuss its immediate applications, and their implications for GW astrophysics missions, along with scope for improvements. We summarize our findings and outline its broader impact in Section VI.
+II. DEEP NEURAL NETWORKS
+In this section we provide a brief overview of the main concepts of deep learning, including machine learning, artificial neural networks, and convolutional neural networks in the context of time-series signal processing.
+The vast majority of algorithms are designed with a specific task in mind. They require extensive modifications before they can be re-used for any other task. The term machine learning refers to a special class of algorithms that can learn from examples to solve new problems without being explicitly re-programmed. This enables cross-domain applications of the same algorithm by training it with different data [49]. More importantly, some of these algorithms are able to tackle problems which humans can solve intuitively but find difficult to explain using well-defined rules, hence they are often called "artificial intelligence" [49].
+The two main categories of machine learning are supervised and unsupervised learning. In supervised learning, the algorithm learns from some data that is correctly labeled, while unsupervised learning algorithms have to make sense of unstructured and unlabeled data [50]. We will be focusing on an
+
+3
+
+application of supervised learning in this work, where we use labeled data obtained from physics simulations to train an algorithm to detect signals embedded in noise and also estimate multiple parameters of the source.
+Although traditional machine learning algorithms have been successful in several applications, they are limited in their ability to deal directly with raw data. Often the data has to be simplified manually into a representation suitable for each problem. Determining the right representation is extremely difficult and time-consuming, often requiring decades of effort even for domain experts, which severely limits the applicability of these algorithms [49].
+Representation learning is a subset of machine learning which aims to resolve this issue by creating algorithms that can learn by themselves to find useful representations of the raw data and extract relevant features from it automatically for each problem [51]. Here, we are focusing on a special type of representation learning called deep learning.
+
+FIG. 1. An Artificial Neural Network (ANN) or multilayer perceptron with one hidden layer is depicted [60]. The circles represent neurons and arrows represent connections (weights) between neurons. Note that each neuron has only a single output, which branches out to connect with neurons in the next layer.
+Artificial Neural Networks
+
+Deep Learning
+Deep learning is a new subfield of machine learning, which resolves this difficulty of feature engineering with algorithms that learn by themselves to find useful representations of the raw data, and extract multiple levels of relevant features from it automatically for each problem. This is achieved by combining a computational architecture containing long interconnected layers of "artificial neurons" with powerful learning (optimization) algorithms [35, 49]. These deep artificial neural networks (DNNs) are able to capture complex non-linear relationships in the data by composing hierarchical internal representations, all of which are learned automatically during the training stage. The deepest layers are able to learn highly abstract concepts, based on the simpler outputs of the previous layers, to solve problems that previously required human-level intelligence [50].
+Various factors including the exponential growth of computational resources (especially GPUs), availability of massive amounts of data, and the development of new algorithmic techniques and software have recently contributed to make deep learning very successful in commercial applications, thus revolutionizing multiple industries today. The state-ofthe-art algorithms for image processing, speech recognition, natural language understanding are all based on deep learning. DNNs power many of the technologies routinely used by us including search engines (Google, Bing), voice recognition, personal assistants (Siri, Cortana, Google assistant), text prediction on mobile keyboards, real-time face detection on cameras, face recognition (e.g. face-tagging in Facebook), language translation (Google Translate), text-to-speech synthesis [52], recommendations on Amazon, and automatic captioning on YouTube, to name a few [53].
+
+Artificial neural networks (ANN), the building blocks of DNNs, are biologically-inspired computational models that have the capability to learn from observational data [54]. The fundamental units of neural networks are artificial neurons (loosely modeled after real neurons [55]), which are based on perceptrons introduced by Rosenblatt in 1957 [56]. A perceptron takes a vector of inputs (x) and computes a weighted output with an offset known as bias. This can be modeled by the equation f (x) = w � x + b, where the weights (w) and bias (b) are learned through training.
+Minsky and Papert showed in their 1969 book Perceptrons [57] that a single perceptron has many limitations. Unfortunately, this led to a decline in the popularity of all neural networks in the following decades [50]. However, it was later found that these limitations can be overcome by using multiple layers of inter-connected perceptrons to create ANNs. The universality theorem [58] proves that ANNs with just three layers (one hidden layer) can model any function up to any desired level of accuracy.
+Multilayer perceptrons are also known as feed-forward neural networks because information is propagated forward from the input layer to the output layer without internal cycles (i.e no feedback loops) [49]. While potentially more powerful cyclic architectures can be constructed, such as Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs), we will be focusing mainly on simple feed-forward neural networks in this article.
+An ANN usually has an input layer, one or more hidden layers, and an output layer (shown in Figure 1). A non-linear "activation" function is applied to the output of each of the hidden layers. Without this non-linearity, using multiple layers would become redundant, as the network will only be able to express linear combinations of the input. The most commonly used non-linear activation functions are the logistic sigmoid, hyperbolic tan, and the rectified linear unit (also called ReLU or ramp). It has been empirically observed that the ramp produces the best results for most applications [59] . This function is mathematically expressed as max(0, x).
+
+4
+
+The key ingredient that makes ANNs useful is the learning algorithm. Almost all neural networks used today are trained with variants of the back-propagation algorithm based on the steepest descent method [50]. The idea is to propagate errors backward from the output layer to the input layer after each evaluation of a neural network, in order to adjust the weights of each neuron so that the overall error is reduced in a supervised learning problem [61]. The weights of an ANN are usually initialized randomly to small values and then back-propagation is performed over multiple rounds, known as epochs, until the errors are minimized. Stochastic gradient descent with mini-batches [62] has been the traditional method used for back-propagation. This technique uses an estimate of the gradient of the error over subsets of the training data in each iteration to change the weights of the ANN. The magnitude of these changes is determined by the "learning rate". New methods with variable learning rates such as ADAM (Adaptive Momentum Estimation) are becoming more popular and have been shown empirically to achieve better results more quickly [63].
+Convolutional Neural Networks
+A convolutional neural network (CNN), whose structure is inspired by studies of the visual cortex in mammals [49], is a type of feed-forward neural network. First developed by Fukushima for his Neocognitron [64], they were successfully combined with back-propagation by LeCun [36] in the 1980s, for developing a highly accurate algorithm for recognizing handwritten digits. The exceptional performance of Alex Krizhevsky's entry based on CNNs, which won the ImageNet competition by a huge margin in 2012 [65], has sparked the current interest in these networks especially in the field of computer vision. CNNs have been most effective for image and video processing. They have been shown to approach or even surpass human-level accuracy at a variety of constrained tasks such as hand-writing recognition, identifying objects in photos, tracking movements in videos etc. [35].
+The introduction of a "convolution layer", containing a set of neurons that share their weights, is the critical component of these networks. Multiple convolution layers are commonly found in DNNs, with each having a separate set of shared weights that are learned during training. The name comes from the fact that an output equivalent to a convolution, or sometimes cross-correlation [49], operation is computed with a kernel of fixed size. A convolutional layer can also be viewed as a layer of identical neurons that each "look" at small overlapping sections of the input, defined as the receptive field.
+The main advantage of using these layers is the ability to reduce computational costs by having shared weights and small kernels, thus allowing deeper networks and faster training and evaluation speeds. Because of the replicated structure, CNNs are also able to automatically deal with spatially translated as well as (with a few modifications [35]) rotated and scaled signals. In practice, multiple modules each consisting of a sequence of convolution and pooling (sub-sampling) layers, fol-
+
+lowed by a non-linearity, are used. The pooling layers further reduces computational costs by constraining the size of the DNN, while also making the networks more resilient to noise and translations, thus enhancing their ability to handle new inputs [35]. Dilated convolutions [66] is a recent development which enables rapid aggregation of information over larger regions by having gaps within each of the receptive fields. In this study, we focus on CNNs as they are the most efficient DNNs on modern hardware, allowing fast training and evaluation (inference).
+Time-series Analysis with Convolutional Neural Networks
+Conventional methods of digital signal processing such as matched-filtering (cross-correlation or convolution against a set of templates) [67] in time-domain or frequency-space are limited in their ability to scale to a large parameter-space of signal templates, while being too computationally intensive for real-time parameter estimation analysis [33]. Signal processing using machine learning in the context of GW astrophysics is an emerging field of research [42, 68�73]. These traditional machine learning techniques, including shallow ANNs, require "handcrafted" features extracted from the data as inputs rather than the raw noisy data itself. DNNs, on the other hand, are capable of extracting these features automatically.
+Deep learning has been previously applied only for the classification of glitches with spectrogram images as inputs to CNNs [43, 74, 75] and unsupervised clustering of transients [43], in the context of aLIGO. Using images as inputs is advantageous for two reasons: (i) there are well established architectures of 2D CNNs which have been shown to work (GoogLeNet [76], VGG [77], ResNet [78]) and (ii) pre-trained weights are available for them, which can significantly speed up the training process via transfer learning while also providing higher accuracy even for small datasets [43]. However, our experiments showed that this approach would not be optimal for detection or parameter estimation since many signals having low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR 3) are not visible in spectrograms, as shown in Fig. 2. Theoretically, all the information about the signal is encoded within the time-series, whereas spectrograms are lossy noninvertible representations of the original data. Although 2D CNNs are commonly used, especially for image-related tasks, we found that by directly feeding raw time-series data as inputs to certain types of CNNs, one can obtain much higher sensitivities at low SNR, significantly lower error rates in parameter estimation, and faster analysis speeds. This automated feature learning allows the algorithm to develop more optimal strategies of signal processing than when given handextracted information such as spectrograms. There has only

+FIG. 2. Sample of input data. The red time-series is an example of the input to our DNN algorithm. It contains a BBH GW signal (blue) which was whitened with aLIGO's design sensitivity and superimposed in noisy data with SNR = 7.5 (peak power of this signal is 0.36 times the power of background noise). The component masses of the merging BHs are 57M and 33M . The corresponding spectrogram on the right shows that the GW signal on the left is not visible, and thus cannot be detected by an algorithm trained for image recognition. Nevertheless, our DNN detects the presence of this signal directly from the (red) time-series input with over 99% sensitivity and reconstructs the source's parameters with a mean relative error of about 10%.
+
+been a few attempts at signal processing using CNNs with raw time-series data in general and only for single parameter estimation [80, 81].
+In this work, we demonstrate, for the first time, that DNNs can be used for both signal detection and multiple-parameter estimation directly from highly noisy time-series data, once trained with templates of the expected signals, and that dilated CNNs outperform traditional machine learning algorithms, and reach accuracies comparable to matched-filtering methods. We also show that our algorithm is far more computationally efficient than matched-filtering. Instead of repeatedly performing overlap computations against all templates of known signals, our CNN builds a deep non-linear hierarchical structure of nested convolutions, with small kernels, that determines the parameters in a single evaluation. Moreover, the DNNs act as an efficient compression mechanism by learning patterns and encoding all the relevant information in their weights, analogous to a reduced-order model [82], which is significantly smaller than the size of the training templates. Therefore, the DNNs automatically perform an internal optimization of the search algorithm and can also interpolate, or even extrapolate, to new signals not included in the template bank (unlike matched-filtering).
+Note that matched-filtering is equivalent to a single convolution layer of a neural network, with very long kernels corresponding to all the signals in a template bank. Therefore, our algorithm can be viewed as an extension of matchedfiltering, which performs template matching against a small set of short duration templates, and aggregates this information in the deeper layers to effectively model the full range of long-duration signals.
+
+III. METHOD
+Our goal is to show that Deep Filtering is a powerful tool for GW data analysis. We do this by demonstrating that a system of two DNNs can detect and characterize GW signals embedded in highly noisy time-series data.
+As a proof of concept, we focus on GWs from BBH mergers, which are expected to dominate the number of GW detections with ground-based GW detectors [3, 37, 83]. In future work, we will extend this method to signals produced by other events by adding more neurons in the final layer and training with larger datasets.
+We chose to divide the problem into two separate parts, each assigned to a different DNN. The first network, henceforth known as the "classifier", will detect the presence of a signal in the input, and will provide a confidence level for the detection. The classes chosen for now are "True" or "False" depending on whether or not a signal from a BBH merger is present in the input. The second network, which we call the "predictor", will estimate the parameters of the source of the signal (in this case, the component masses of the BBH). The predictor is triggered when the classifier identifies a signal with a high probability.
+We partitioned the system in this manner so that, in the future, more classes of GW transients [8, 9, 84], may be added to the classifier, and separate predictors can be made for each type of signal. Moreover, categories for various types of anomalous sources of noise, like glitches and blips [32, 74], can also be added to the classifier [43].
+Assumptions

+dividual spins and orbital eccentricities are zero. This reduces our parameter space to two dimensions, namely, the individual masses of the BBH systems, which we have restricted to lie between 5M and 75M . Furthermore, we have constrained the inputs to have a duration of 1 second, and a sampling rate of 8192Hz throughout this analysis, which is more than sufficient for the events we are considering. Note that the classifier will be applied to the continuous data stream by using a sliding window of width 1 second.
+Ideally, the inputs to our DNNs will be the unprocessed time-series of strains measured by the GW detectors. Throughout this analysis, however, we have whitened the signals using aLIGO's Power Spectral Density (PSD) at the "Zero-detuned High Power" design sensitivity [85] shown in Figure 3. We have also ignored glitches, blips, and other transient sources of detector noise for now. This is in line with previous studies, which have first showcased a machine learning algorithm for LIGO data analysis using simulated noise [68, 72], and then followed up by an independent study where the algorithm is tested using real aLIGO noise [71]. Our analysis, using real aLIGO data, will be presented in a separate publication.
+Obtaining Data
+Supervised deep learning algorithms are far more effective when trained with very large datasets. Obtaining high quality training data has been a difficult and cumbersome task in most applications of DNNs, such as object recognition in images, speech and text processing, etc. Fortunately, we do not face this issue, since we can take advantage of scientific simulations to produce the necessary data for training.
+Over the last decade, sophisticated techniques have been developed to perform accurate 3-dimensional NR simulations of merging BHs [84, 86] on HPC facilities. For the analysis at hand, we use Effective-One-Body (EOB) waveforms that describe GWs emitted by quasi-circular, non-spinning BBHs [38]. We extracted the final 1 second window of each

+FIG. 4. Distribution of data. The figure shows the distribution of component masses of BBHs for the training and testing datasets. The mass-ratios were confined between 1 and 10, which accounts for the missing points in the lower right corner. We choose this mass-ratio range because the state-of-the-art EOB model we have used to create the datasets has only been validated for these mass-ratio values. Each point represents a quasi-circular, non-spinning GW signal of 1 second duration, sampled at 8192 Hz, which is whitened with aLIGO's expected noise spectrum at design sensitivity. These waveforms were normalized and translated randomly in time. Thereafter, multiple batches of noise at each SNR were added to produce training and testing datasets.
+template for our analysis. We have split the data into separate sets for training and
+testing. For the training dataset, the BBHs component masses are in the range 5M to 75M in steps of 1M . The testing dataset has intermediate component masses, i.e., masses separated from values in the training dataset by 0.5M . By not having overlapping values in the training and testing sets, one can ensure that the network is not overfitting, i.e., memorizing only the inputs shown to it without learning to generalize to new inputs. The distribution of component masses, and a template from the training and testing sets, is shown in Fig. 4. Subsequently, we shifted the location of the peak of each signal randomly within an interval of 0.2 seconds in both the training and testing sets to make the DNNs more robust with respect to time translations. Next, we superimposed different realizations of Gaussian white noise on top of the signals over multiple iterations, thus amplifying the size of the datasets. The power of the noise was adjusted according to the desired SNR for each training session. We then standardized the inputs to have zero mean and unit variance to make the training process easier [87].
+The final training sets at each SNR were produced from
+
+7
+
+ 2500 templates of GWs from BBH mergers by adding multiple batches of noise and shifting in time. It is also a standard practice to use a validation set to monitor the performance on unseen data during training in order to prevent overfitting. The validation and testing sets at each SNR were generated from a different set of  2500 templates by superimposing different noise realizations.
+Designing Neural Networks
+We used very similar DNN architectures for both the classifier and predictor, which demonstrates the versatility of this method. The only difference was the addition of a softmax layer to the classifier to obtain probability estimates as the outputs. Our strategy was to first train the predictor on the datasets labeled with the BBH masses, and then transfer the weights of this pre-trained network to initialize the classifier and then train it on datasets with 50% random noise. This transfer learning process reduced the training time required for the classifier, while also slightly improving its accuracy at low SNR.
+We designed simple DNNs from the ground up. Overall, we tested around 80 configurations of DNNs ranging from 1 to 4 convolutional layers and 1 to 3 fully connected layers (also called linear layers) similar to [88], but modified for timeseries inputs. Among these, we discovered that a design for the classifier with 3 convolutional layers followed by 2 fully connected layers yielded good results with fastest inference speed for the datasets that we are considering. We tried adding a few recent developments such as batch normalization [89] and dropout [90] layers. However, we did not use them in our final design as they did not provide significant improvements for the simple problem we are considering. The addition of noise to the signals during the training process serves as a form of regularization in itself. Many of the layers have parameters, commonly known as hyperparameters, which we had to tune manually via a randomized trial-and-error procedure. Depth is a hyperparameter which determines the number of filters in each convolutional layer. Our choices for depth in the consecutive layers were 16, 32, and 64 respectively. We used kernel sizes of 16, 8, and 8 for the convolutional layers and 4 for all the (max) pooling layers. Stride, which specifies the shift between the receptive fields of adjacent neurons, was chosen to be 1 for all the convolution layers and 4 for all the pooling layers. Dilation determines the overall size of each receptive field, which could be larger than the kernel size by having gaps in between. Here, it is a measure of the temporal extend of the convolutions. We observed that using dilation of 4 in the final two convolution layers improved the performance. The final layout of our classifier DNN is shown in Fig. 5.
+Deeper networks are expected to provide further improvements in accuracy although at the cost of slower evaluation speed. To show this, we also designed a deeper net, shown in Fig. 6, with 4 convolution layers and 3 fully connected layers that had comparable sensitivity for detection and significantly

This is the deep dilated 1D CNN, modified to take time-series inputs, that we designed for prediction which outputs two real-valued numbers for the two component masses of the BBH system. For classification we simply added a softmax layer after the 14th layer to obtain the probabilities for two classes, i.e., "True" or "False". The input is the time-series sampled at 8192Hz and the output is either the probability of each class or the value of each parameter. Note that the number of neurons in layer 14 can be increased to add more categories for classification or more parameters for prediction. The size of this net is about 2MB.

+better performance for parameter estimation. Although this design performed slightly better, it was a factor of 5 slower on a GPU for evaluation. This net had convolution layers having kernel sizes were 16, 16, 16, and 32 with dilations 1, 2, 2, and 2 respectively. The pooling layers all had kernel size 4 and stride 4.
+A loss function (cost function) is required to compute the error after each iteration by measuring how close the outputs are with respect to the target values. We designed a mean absolute relative error loss function for the predictor. For classification, we used the standard cross-entropy loss function.
+
+Training Strategy
+We spent significant effort on hyperparameter optimization, to design architectures of the CNNs by trial and error. First, we used Gaussian white noise without whitening the signals i.e., a flat PSD, to determine the optimal architectures of the DNNs. We found that this design was also optimal for signals whitened with the Zero-Detuned PSD of aLIGO. This indicates that the same architecture will perform well on wide variety of PSDs. Once we chose the best performing DNNs, we trained it for about a total of 10 hours. We relied on the neural network functionality in the Wolfram Language, Mathematica, based internally on the open-source MXNet framework [91], which utilizes the CUDA deep learning library

+FIG. 6. Architecture of deeper neural network. This is the deeper version of the CNN, modified to take time-series inputs, that we designed for parameter estimation. The input is the time-series sampled at 8192Hz and the output is the predicted value of each parameter. This can be converted to a classifier by adding a softmax layer after layer 19 to obtain the probability for a detection. Note that the number of neurons in layer 19 can be increased to add more categories for classification or more parameters for prediction. The 2 neurons in the final layer outputs the 2 parameters corresponding to the individual masses of BBHs. The size of this net is approximately 23MB.
+
+FIG. 7. Sensitivity of detection with smaller net. This is the sensitivity (fraction of signals detected) of the shallower classifier as a function of SNR on the test set. Note that the sensitivity was measured with the same classifier after training once over the entire range of SNR, i.e., without specifically re-training it for each SNR. This curve saturates at sensitivity of 100% for SNR  10, i.e, signals with SNR  10 are always detected. The single detector false alarm rate was tuned to be about 0.5% for this classifier. Note that the optimal matched-filter SNR is on average proportional to 12.9 � 1.4 times the ratio of the amplitude of the signal to the standard deviation of the noise for our test set. This implies that Deep Filtering is capable of detecting signals significantly weaker than the background noise.

+(cuDNN) [44] for acceleration with NVIDIA GPUs. We used the ADAM [63] method as our learning algorithm.
+During this process, we developed a new strategy to improve the performance and reduce training times of the DNNs. By starting off training the predictor on inputs having high SNR ( 100) and then gradually increasing the noise in each subsequent training session until a final SNR distribution randomly sampled in the range 5 to 15, we observed that the performance can be quickly maximized for low SNR, while remaining accurate for signals with very high SNR. For instance, we obtained about 11% error when trained using this scheme with gradually decreasing SNR and only about 21% mean error at parameter estimation on the test set when directly trained on the same range of SNR (5-15). Furthermore, we found that the classifier performs significantly better (with an increase from 96% to 99% accuracy on one of our test sets) when its initial weights are transfered from the fully trained predictor, i.e., the classifier was created by simply adding a softmax layer to the trained predictor and then trained on the dataset of signals and noise. We expect these techniques would be useful for training neural networks, in general, with noisy data.

+FIG. 8. Sensitivity of detection with deeper net. This is the sensitivity of the deeper classifier as a function of SNR on the test set. Note that this sensitivity was also measured with the same classifier after training once over the entire range of SNR, i.e., without specifically re-training it for each SNR. This curve saturates at sensitivity of 100% for SNR  9, i.e, signals with SNR  9 are always detected. The single detector false alarm rate was tuned to be approximately 0.5% for this classifier.
+IV. RESULTS
+We trained our classifier to achieve 100% sensitivity for signals with SNR  10 and a single detector false alarm rate less than 0.6%. Note that the false alarm rate of Deep
+

+
+Filtering can be significantly decreased by combining classifications on multiple detector inputs and by computing the overlap of the template predicted by Deep Filtering with the input to confirm each detection. The sensitivity of this classifier as a function of SNR is shown in Fig. 7. The deeper classifier obtained slightly better sensitivity as shown in Fig. 8
+For comparison, we trained standard implementations of all commonly used machine learning classifiers-- Random Forest, Support Vector Machine, k-Nearest Neighbors, Hidden Markov Model, Shallow Neural Networks, Naive Bayes, and Logistic Regression -- along with the DNNs on a simpler training set of 8000 elements for fixed total mass and peak signal amplitude. Unlike DNNs, none of these algorithms were able to directly handle raw noisy data even for this simple problem as shown in Fig. 12.
+Our predictor was able to successfully measure the component masses given noisy GWs, that were not used for training, with an error of the same order as the spacing between templates for SNR  13. The deeper predictor consistently outperformed matched-filtering. At very large SNR, over 50, we could train both the predictors to have relative error less than 5%, whereas the error with matched-filtering using the same templates was always greater than 11% with the given template bank. This means that, unlike matched-filtering, our algorithm is able to automatically perform interpolation between the known templates to predict intermediate values. The variation in relative error against SNR for each architecture of the DNNs is shown in Fig. 9 and Fig. 10. The largest relative errors were concentrated at lower masses, because a small variation in predicted masses led to larger relative errors in this region.
+We can estimate the distribution of errors and uncertainties empirically at each region of the parameter-space. We observed that the errors closely follow Gaussian normal distributions for each input for SNR ( 9), allowing easier characterization of uncertainties. Once we obtain initial estimates for the parameters via Deep Filtering, traditional techniques may be rapidly applied using only a few templates near these predictions to cross-validate our detection and parameter estimates and to measure uncertainties. There are also emerging techniques to estimate quantify in the predictions of CNNs [92], which may be applied to this method.
+After testing common machine learning techniques including Linear Regression, k-Nearest Neighbors, Shallow Neural Networks, Gaussian Process Regression, and Random Forest on the simpler problem with fixed total mass, we observed that, unlike DNNs, they could not predict even a single parameter (mass-ratio at fixed total mass) accurately, as evident from Fig. 12, when trained directly on time-series data.
+Having trained our DNNs to detect and characterize quasicircular, non-spinning BBH signals, we assessed their capabilities to identify new classes of GW signals, beyond our original training and testing sets. We used two distinct types of signals that were not considered during the training stage, namely: (i) moderately eccentric NR simulations (approximate eccentricity of 0.1 when entering aLIGO band), that we recently generated with the open-source, Einstein Toolkit [84]

+FIG. 9. Error in parameter estimation with smaller net. This shows the mean percentage error of estimated masses on our testing sets at each SNR using the predictor DNN with 3 convolution layers. The DNN was trained only once over the range of SNR and was then tested at different SNR, without re-training. Note that a mean relative error less than 20% was obtained for SNR  8 . At high SNR, the mean error saturates at around 11%. See Fig. 10 for the results with the deeper version of the predictor.
+FIG. 10. Error in parameter estimation with deeper net. This shows the mean percentage error of estimated masses on our testing sets at each SNR using the deeper CNN with 4 convolution layers. Note that a mean relative error less than 15% was obtained for SNR  7 . At high SNR, the mean error saturates at around 7%. Note that we were able to optimize the predictor to have less than 3% error for very high SNR ( 50), which demonstrates the ability of Deep Filtering to learn patterns connecting the templates and effectively interpolate to intermediate points in parameter space.

+
+whitened them and added different realizations of noise, in the same manner as before, to produce test sets.
+We have found that both the classifiers detected all these signals with nearly the same rate as the original test set, with 100% sensitivity for SNR  10. Remarkably, the predictor quantified the component masses of our eccentric simulations for SNR  12 with a mean relative error less than 20% for mass-ratios q = {1, 2, 3, 4}, and less than 30% for q = 5.5 respectively. For the spin-precessing systems we tested, with SNR  12, the mean error in predicting the masses was less than 20% for q = {1, 3}, respectively.
+These findings are very encouraging, since recent analyses have made evident that existing aLIGO algorithms are not capable of accurately detecting or reconstructing the parameters of eccentric signals [94�96], and do not cover spin-precessing systems [29]. This ability to generalize to new categories of signals, without being shown any examples, means that DNNbased pipelines can increase the depth of existing GW detection algorithms without incurring in any additional computational expense.
+Furthermore, our simple classifier and predictor are only 2MB in size each, yet they achieve excellent results. The average time taken for evaluating them per input of 1 second duration is approximately 6.7 milliseconds, and 106 microseconds using a single CPU and GPU respectively. The deeper predictor net, which is about 23MB, achieves slightly better accuracy at parameter estimation but takes about 85 milliseconds for evaluation on the CPU and 535 microseconds on the GPU, which is still orders of magnitude faster than real-time. Note that the current deep learning frameworks are not well optimized for CPU evaluation. For comparison, we estimated an evaluation time of 1.1 seconds for time-domain matched-filtering on the same CPU (using 2-cores) with the same template bank of clean signals used for training, the results are shown in
+
+10
+Fig. 14. This extremely fast inference rate indicates that realtime analysis can be carried out with a single CPU or GPU, even with DNNs that are significantly larger and trained over a much larger template banks of millions of signals. For example, a state-of-the-art CNN for image recognition [97, 98] has hundreds of layers (61MB in size) and is trained with over millions of examples to recognize thousands of different categories of objects. This CNN can process significantly larger inputs, each having dimensions 224 � 224 � 3, using a single GPU with a mean time of 6.5 milliseconds per input. Note that these CNNs can be trained on millions of inputs in a few hours using parallel GPUs [99].
+For applying the Deep Filtering method to a multidetector scenario, we simply need to apply our nets pretrained for single detector inference separately to each detector and check for coincident detections with similar parameter estimates. Enforcing coincident detections would decrease our false alarm probability, from about 0.59% to about 0.003%. Once the Deep Filtering pipeline detects a signal then traditional matched-filtering may be applied with a select few templates around the estimated parameters to crossvalidate the event and estimate confidence measure. Since only a few templates need to be used with this strategy, existing challenges to extend matched-filtering for higher dimensional GW searches may thus be overcome, allowing real-time analysis with minimal computational resources.
+V. DISCUSSION
+The results we obtained with our prototype DNNs exceeded our expectations with high detection rate and low prediction errors even for signals with very low SNR. Initially, we had trained a DNN to predict only the mass-ratios at a fixed total mass. Extending this to predict two component masses was as simple as adding an extra neuron to the output layer, which suggests that it would be straightforward to extend our method to predict any number of parameters such as spins, eccentricities, etc. By incorporating examples of transient detector noise in the training set, the DNNs can also be taught to automatically ignore or classify glitches. We have only explored very simple DNNs in this first study, therefore, it is expected that more complex DNNs would improve the accuracy of interpolation between GW templates for prediction as well as the sensitivity at low SNR, while retaining real-time performance.
+Based on our preliminary results, we expect Deep Filtering to be able to learn from and adapt to the characteristics of LIGO noise when trained with real data. The performance of this algorithm with real aLIGO data, especially in the presence of glitches and for the detection of true GW events, will be demonstrated in a following work.
+Deep learning is known to be highly scalable, overcoming what is known as the curse of dimensionality [100]. This intrinsic ability of DNNs to take advantage of large datasets is a unique feature to enable simultaneous GW searches over a higher dimensional parameter-space that is beyond the reach of existing algorithms. Furthermore, DNNs are excellent at

+generalizing or extrapolating to new data. We have shown that our DNNs, trained with only signals from non-spinning BHs on quasi-circular orbits, can detect and reconstruct the parameters of eccentric and spin-precessing compact sources that may go unnoticed with existing aLIGO detection algorithms [94�96, 101]. It is probable that our classifier is already capable of detecting even more types of signals, beyond what we have tested.
+As our understanding of scientific phenomena improves and catalogs of NR simulations become available, new categories of detected and simulated GW sources can be easily added to the training datasets with minimal modifications to the architecture of DNNs. Multi-task learning [102] allows a single DNN to classify inputs into categories and sub-
+
+categories, while also performing parameter estimation for each type of signal. This means that simultaneous real-time searches for compact binary coalescence, GW bursts, supernovae, and other exotic events as well as classification of noise transients can be carried out under a single unified pipeline.
+Our DNN algorithm requires minimal pre-processing. In principle, aLIGO's colored noise can be superimposed into the training set of GW templates, along with observed glitches. It has been recently found that deep CNNs are capable of automatically learning to perform band-pass filtering on raw time-series inputs [103], and that they are excellent at suppressing highly non-stationary colored noise [104] especially when incorporating real-time noise characteristics [105]. This suggests that manually devised pre-processing and whitening

Once trained, analyzing a second of data takes only milliseconds with a single CPU and microseconds with a GPU. This means that real-time GW searches could be carried out by anyone with an average laptop computer or even a smartphone, while big datasets can be processed rapidly in bulk with inexpensive hardware and software optimized for inference. The speed, power efficiency, and portability of DNNs would allow rapidly analyzing the continuous stream of data from GW detectors or other astronomical facilities.

+Speed-up Factor for Inference
+
+FIG. 14. Speed-up of analysis. The DNN-based pipeline is many orders of magnitude faster compared to matched-filtering (crosscorrelation or convolution) against the same template bank of waveforms (tested on batches of inputs using both cores of an Intel Core i7-6500U CPU and an inexpensive NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 GPU for a fairer comparison). Note that the evaluation time of a DNN is constant regardless of the size of training data, whereas the time taken for matched-filtering is proportional to the number of templates being considered, i.e., exponentially proportional to the number of parameters. Therefore, the speed-up of Deep Filtering would be higher in practice, especially when considering larger template banks over a higher dimensional parameter space.
+
+steps may be eliminated and raw aLIGO data can be fed to DNNs. This would be particularly advantageous since it is known that Fourier transforms are the bottlenecks of aLIGO pipelines [29].
+Powerful modern hardware, such as GPUs, ASICs, or FPGAs, are essential to efficiently train DNNs. An ideal choice would be the new NVIDIA DGX-1 supercomputers dedicated for deep learning analytics located on-site at each of the LIGO labs. However, once DNNs are trained with a given aLIGO PSD, they can be more quickly re-trained, via transfer learning, during a detection campaign for recalibration in real-time based on the latest characteristics of each detectors' noise. Deep learning methods can also be immediately applied through distributed computing via citizen science campaigns such as Einstein@Home [106] as several open-source deep learning libraries, including MXNet, allow scalable distributed training and evaluation of neural networks simultaneously on heterogeneous devices, including smartphones and tablets. Low-power devices such as FPGAs and GPU chips dedicated for deep learning inference [46, 107, 108] may even be placed on the GW detectors to reduce data transfer issues and latency in analysis.
+DNNs automatically extract and compress information by finding patterns within the training data, creating a dimensionally reduced model [109]. Our fully trained DNNs are each only 2MB (or 23MB for the deeper model) in size yet encodes
+
+BNS inspirals have been confirmed as the engines of short gamma ray bursts (sGRBs) [19, 22�26, 110�112]. We expect that future detections of NSBH mergers may confirm whether these systems are also the progenitors of sGRBs, and whether rapidly rotating hypernovae are the progenitors of long duration GRBs, collapsars, etc. [7, 27]. DNNs are particularly suited for image and video processing, therefore, they can be trained to simultaneously search for GW transients and their EM counterparts using telescopes' raw image data [113]. If the identification of an EM transient can be carried out quickly, we can interface this information with a DNN-based GW detection pipeline and vice-versa. Joint analyses of this nature will enable real-time multimessenger astrophysics searches.
+Recent work suggests that space-based GW detectors such as the evolved Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (eLISA) [114, 115] will be able to detect stellar mass BBH systems weeks before they merge in the frequency band of ground-based GW detectors [116]. DNNs can be used to detect these sources in the eLISA and aLIGO frequency bands using a unified pipeline (on-board analysis may be possible in space with extremely power-efficient chips dedicated for deep learning inference). Furthermore, by training similar DNNs, low-latency classification algorithms to search for EM transients in the anticipated sky region where these events are expected to occur.
+In summary, the flexibility and computational efficiency of DNNs could promote them as standard tools for multimessenger astrophysics.
+Scope for Improvements
+One may construct a multi-dimensional template bank using available semi-analytical waveform models, and all available NR waveforms. Thereafter, one can superimpose samples of real aLIGO noise, and non-Gaussian noise transients, on these templates, and carry out an intensive training procedure with coincident time-series inputs from multiple detectors. Once this process is finished, the DNN may be used for real-time classification and parameter estimation, including sky localization, while being periodically re-trained with
+
+13
+
+more gravitational waveforms and recent aLIGO noise. Timeseries inputs from multiple detectors may be provided directly to the CNNs and more neurons may be added in the final layer to predict more parameters such as spins, eccentricity, time difference, location in the sky, etc. The hyperparameters of the neural networks may be tuned, and more layers may be added to further improve the performance of Deep Filtering.
+CNNs are limited by the fact that they can only use fixed length tensors as inputs and outputs and thus require a sliding window technique in practice. On the other hand, RNNs, the deepest of all neural networks, have cyclic internal structures and are well-suited for time-series analysis since they can make decisions based on a continuous stream of inputs rather than a vector of fixed length [50], however, they are harder to train [117]. A powerful type of RNN called LSTM (Long-Short-Term-Memory) [118] is capable of remembering long-term dependencies in the input sequence. Therefore RNNs [50] are ideal for processing temporal data as they can take inputs of variable lengths and have been remarkably successful at voice recognition problems [119]. We are developing sequence-to-sequence models with LSTM RNNs and CNNs which can be used to denoise the input time-series and produce the clean signal as output. This pre-processed data can then be fed into our Deep Filtering pipeline so as to further improve the sensitivity at very low SNR.
+Stacking time-series datasets to produce multi-dimensional tensors can facilitate processing massive quantities of data efficiently on modern hardware, for e.g., to find signals that are very long in duration like BNS inspirals. The accuracy of the DNNs can be further enhanced by training an ensemble of different models and averaging the results for each input [49].
+aLIGO uses a variety of independent sensors to monitor the environment and assess data quality. Many algorithms are currently used to estimate periods which must be vetoed due to disturbances that lead to a loss in detector sensitivity. Data quality information from these auxiliary channels may also be incorporated to improve robustness of signal detection and parameter estimation in the presence of glitches and for detector characterization [120].
+In a broader context, our results indicate that, given models or template banks of expected signals, Deep Filtering can be used as a generic tool for efficiently detecting and extracting highly noisy time-domain signals in any discipline.
+VI. CONCLUSION
+We have presented a novel framework for signal processing that is tailored to enable real-time multimessenger astrophysics, and which can enhance existing data analysis techniques in terms of both performance and scalability. We exposed CNNs to time-series template banks of GWs, and allowed it to develop its own strategies to extract a variety of GW signals from highly noisy data. The DNN-based prototype introduced in this article provides a strong incentive to conduct a more comprehensive investigation and optimization of DNNs to build a new data analysis pipeline based on Deep Filtering, trained with real detector noise, in-
+
+cluding glitches, and the largest available template banks covering the entire parameter-space of signals, to incorporate glitch classification and to accelerate and broaden the scope of GW searches with aLIGO and future GW missions. We are currently collaborating with the developers of the PyCBC pipeline [29], which is routinely used for GW detection both in off-line and on-line mode, to implement Deep Filtering as a module to increase the science reach of GW astronomy.
+The known scalability of deep learning to high-dimensional data allows the use of as many GW templates as needed to train DNNs to simultaneously target a broad class of astrophysically motivated GWs sources. More neurons may be added to encode as much astrophysical information as needed for predicting any number of parameters, and multi-task learning can unify detection and classification of different types of sources and glitches, as well as parameter estimation, with a single DNN. Therefore, we expect this approach will increase the depth and speed of existing GW algorithm allowing realtime online searches after being trained with template banks of millions or billions of waveforms.
+The DNN-based pipeline can be used to provide instant alerts with accurate parameters for EM follow-up campaigns, and also to accelerate matched-filtering and detailed Bayesian parameter estimation methods. Each prediction made by the DNNs can be quickly verified by performing traditional template matching with only the templates close to the predicted parameters. While aLIGO matched-filtering pipelines do not cover GWs from spin-precessing and eccentric BBH mergers, we have shown that DNNs were able to automatically generalize well to these signals, even without using these templates for training, having similar detection rates for all signals and small errors in estimating parameters of low mass-ratio systems. We expect that including examples of all classes of known GW signals and noise transients while training would improve the performance across the entire range of signals. We are now working on including millions of spin-precessing and eccentric templates and developing methods to train on large-scale parallel GPU clusters.
+Employing DNNs for multimessenger astrophysics offers unprecedented opportunities to harness hyper-scale AI computing with emerging hardware architectures, and cuttingedge software. In addition, the use of future exascale supercomputing facilities will be critical for performing improved HPC simulations that faithfully encode the gravitational and EM signatures of more types of sources, which will be used to teach these intelligent algorithms. We expect that our new approach will percolate in the scientific community and serve as a key step in enabling real-time multimessenger observations by providing immediate alerts for follow-up after GW events. As deep CNNs excel at image processing, applying the same technique to analyze raw telescope data may accelerate the subsequent search for transient EM counterparts. We also anticipate that our new methodology for processing signals hidden in noisy data will be useful in many other areas of engineering, science, and technology. Therefore, this work is laying the foundations to integrate diverse domains of expertise to enable and accelerate scientific discovery.

+Generalization of Faddeev�Popov Rules in Yang�Mills Theories: N=3,4
+BRST Symmetries

+Abstract
+The Faddeev�Popov rules for a local and Poincare-covariant procedure of Lagrangian quantization for a gauge theory with gauge group are generalized to the case of an invariance of the respective quantum actions, S(N), with respect to N -parametric Abelian SUSY transformations with odd-valued parameters p, p = 1, ..., N and anticommuting generators sp: spsq + sqsp = 0, for N = 3, 4, implying the substitution of an N -plet of ghost fields , Cp, instead of the parameter, , of the infinitesimal gauge transformations:  = Cpp. The total configuration spaces of field variables for a quantum theory of the same classical model coincide in the N = 3 and N = 4 symmetric cases. For the N = 3-parametric SUSY transformations the superspace of the irreducible representation includes, in addition to Yang�Mills fields A�, also 3 ghost odd-valued fields Cp, as well as 3 new even-valued Bpq = -Bqp and 1 odd-valued B fields for p, q = 1, 2, 3. It is shown, that in order to construct the quantum action, S(3) a gauge-fixing procedure achieved by adding to the classical action of an N = 3-exact gauge-fixing term (without introduction of non-degenerate odd supermatrix) additionally requires a 1 antighost field C, 3 even-valued Bp and 3 odd-valued Bpq fields, as well as the Nakanishi�Lautrup field B. The action of N = 3 transformations in the space of additional fields, (3) = (C, Bp, Bpq, B), not being entangled with the fields (3) of N = 3-irreducible representation space is realized as well. These transformations are the N = 3 BRST symmetry transformations for the vacuum functional, Z3(0) = d(3)d(3) exp{(i/�h)S(3)}. It is shown that the total configuration space of the fields ((3), (3)), as the space of reducible N = 3 BRST symmetry transformations, proves to be the space of an irreducible representation of the fields (4) for N = 4-parametric SUSY transformations, which contains, in addition to A� the (4 + 6 + 4 + 1) ghost-antighost, Cr = (Cp, C), new even-valued, Brs = -Bsr = (Bpq, Bp4 = Bp), odd-valued Br = (B, Bpq) fields and B for r, s = 1, 2, 3, 4, r = (p, 4). The quantum action S(4) is constructed by adding to the classical action an N = 4-exact gauge-fixing term with a gauge boson, F(4) as the sr-potential as compared to a gauge fermion (3) for N = 3 case. It is proved that the N = 4-parametric SUSY transformations are by N = 4 BRST transformations for the vacuum functional, Z4(0) = d(4) exp{(i/�h)S(4)}. The procedures are valid for any admissible gauge. The equivalence with N = 1 and N = 2 BRSTinvariant quantization methods are explicitly established. The finite N = 3, 4 BRST transformations are derived from the algebraic SUSY transformations. The Jacobians for a change of variables related to finite N = 3, 4 SUSY transformations with field-dependent parameters in the respective path integral are calculated. The Jacobians imply the presence of a corresponding modified Ward identity which reduces to a new form of the standard Ward identities in the case of constant parameters and describe the problem of a gauge-dependence. The gauge-independent Gribov-Zwanziger models with local N = 3, 4 BRST symmetries are proposed An introduction into diagrammatic Feynman techniques for N = 3, 4 BRST invariant quantum actions for Yang�Mills theory is suggested. A generalization to the case of N = 2K - 1 and N = 2K, K > 2 BRST transformations is discussed1.

+1 Introduction
+
+The problem of Lorentz-covariant quantization for gauge theories with a non-Abelian gauge group [1] is a long-standing one, starting with the lecture of R. Feynman [2], showing that the naive one-loop diagram calculation within perturbative techniques with a propagator constructed, according to quantum electrodynamic, for the photon field A� in the form

+
+turns out to be incorrect2. A modification of calculations for reconstructing the one-loop contribution from the tree diagrams, using unitarity and analyticity [2], makes it possible to interpret the additional contributions as an input from a scalar particle, which should be, however, considered as a fermion due to the "-" sign before this summand. The solution of this problem was found by L. Faddeev and V. Popov in their celebrated work [3] by means of a trick known as the insertion of unity, providing the existence of a path integral for Yang�Mills fields, A�(x) = Am � (x)tm, given in Minkowski space-time R1,3 and taking values in a compact Lie group G, with generators tm for its Lie algebra G, in the form

+respectively, for the Landau gauge, (A) = 0, (A) = �A�, and then with the use of the proposal of 't Hooft [5] for the Feynman gauge (A, B), (A, B) = �A� + g2B, with an arbitrary field B = Bmtm
+known as Nakanishi-Lautrup field [6, 7]. This representation, with a gauge-invariant classical action S0 , in comparison with the case of an Abelian U (1) gauge group, essentially includes a determinant of an
+non-degenerated operator M (A):
+
+M (A) = �D� = � � - [A�, ] 4
+
+(1.4)
+
+known as the Faddeev�Popov operator (having multiple zero-mode eigenfunctions as compared to the Abelian case, known as Gribov copies [8]). In [9] (see the review [10]), it was shown, with the use of F. Berezin [11] generalization of the Gaussian integral over Grassmann variables, that the representations (1.2), (1.3) may be equivalently presented in a local form by using fictitious scalar Grassman-odd fields C(x), C(x) = Cm(x), Cm(x) tm

+
+and similarly for Z0F , where, instead of the quantum action SFLP = SFLP (A, C, C, B), one should use the action SFFP = SFLP (A)(A,B) given in the Feynman gauge. Independently. the development of the diagrammatic technique without using Grassmann-odd fictitious fields was suggested by B. DeWitt
+[4]. The representation (1.5) allows one to replace gauge transformations for Yang�Mills fields with arbitrary scalar functions (x) = m(x)tm by global transformations in the total configuration space Mtot of fields A = (A, C, C, B), with a constant Grassmann-odd parameter �, �2 = 0 by the rule

+one to prove the gauge-invariant renormalizability of a quantum Yang�Mills theory [14], [15], as well as the path integral independence from a choice of the gauge condition for small variations. This also makes it possible to obtain the Ward identities for generating functionals of Green's functions [16]. In [17, 18] it was shown that the Faddeev�Popov representation (1.2), (1.3) admits the form (1.5) for an antiBRST symmetry transformation with another Grassmann parameter, ��: (x) = C(x)��5, which may be considered within the N = 2 BRST ( BRSTantiBRST) symmetry [19] for Yang�Mills theories, describing ghost and antighost fields as an Sp(2)-doublet Cma(x) of fields: (Cm1, Cm2) = (Cm, Cm), as well as the parameters (�, ��) = (�1, �2), which follows from the substitution m(x) = Cma(x)�a (with summation over repeated indices). The lifting of N = 1, 2 BRST symmetry transformations, given originally in an infinitesimal algebraic form, to a finite group-like form, with finite field-dependent parameters �(), �a() has been introduced for N = 1 case in [23], [24] (for gauge theories with a closed algebra and general gauge theories, see [25]),for N = 2 case in [26] (as well as for constrained dynamical systems and general gauge theories in [28, 29, 30, 31] with references therein), which allows one to establish that the path integral in different gauges, such as (1.2) and (1.3), assume the same value.
+Recently [27], we have examined special SUSY (distinct from space-time SUSY) transformations with m Grassmann-odd generators that form an Abelian superalgebra Gm leaving the classical action (in a certain class of field-theoretic models) invariant and realizing a lifting of Gm to an Abelian supergroup Gm, with finite parameters and respective group-like elements being functionals of field variables. We have studied some physical consequences of these transformations at the path integral level. As a consequence, we are interested in the following question.
+Is it possible to find a general solution for the non-local Faddeev�Popov path integral representations (1.2), (1.3) in a local form which admits an extended N = k global SUSY transformation with k  3 Grassmann-odd parameters, such as those realized by N = 1, 2 BRST symmetries? In the case of a positive solution, which depends on a possibility to realize on an appropriate N = k SUSY irreducible representation space the N = k-invariant gauge-fixing procedure to construct N = k-invariant quantum action, S(N), we are interested in investigating such physical consequences as gauge-dependence, unitarity, renormalizability and Ward identities for the Feynman diagrams in the corresponding path integral with local N = 3 and N = 4-BRST invariant quantum actions.
+The paper is devoted to the solution of the problem in question and is organized as follows. In Section 2, we expound a generalization of the non-local Faddeev�Popov path integral to an N = k BRST symmetry realization in Subsection 2.2, starting from the review of N = 1, 2 cases in Subsection 2.1. We derive a local Faddeev�Popov path integral, Z(3), over fields composing total configuration space, which is the reducible representation superspace of N = 3 SUSY transformations being explicitly constructed both for the fields of N = 3 irreducible representation superspace and for auxiliary fields from nonminimal sector in Subsection 2.3 so as to formulate an N = 3 BRST invariant gauge-fixing procedure without a special odd supermatrix. In Section 3 we consider the fields of N = 3 irreducible and additional representation superspaces on equal footing within explicitly constructed N = 4 SUSY transformations, and formulate N = 4 SUSY invariant gauge-fixing procedure for local path integral, Z(4), in Section 4, for which these transformations are N = 4 BRST symmetry transformations. In Section 5, we determine infinitesimal and finite group-like N = k BRST symmetry transformations, for k = 3, 4, with constant and field-dependent parameters and compute respective Jacobians for changes of variables in the path integrals. In Section 6, we apply the results concerning the Jacobians so as to relate the respective path integral in different gauges, and to obtain new Ward identities, accompanied by the study of gauge dependence and gauge-invariant Gribov�Zwanziger formulation both within N = 3 and N = 4 BRST local quantum actions for Yang�Mills theories. The introduction into Feynman diagrammatic technique in N = 3, N = 4 BRST quantum perturbative formulations for Yang�Mills theory is the basic point of Section 7. The results are summarized in Conclusions. The proof of an impossibility to realize N = 3 BRST invariant gauge-fixing on the configuration space consisting of only the fields of N = 3 irreducible representation superspace without an odd nondegenerate supermatrix (based on an explicit construction of quantum action and N = 3 BRST transformations) is given in Appendix A.The details of derivation

+2.1 Review of N = 1, 2 BRST symmetry
+
+In the case of usual BRST symmetry, the path integral, be it in Landau (1.2), Feynman (1.3), or arbitrary
+admissible gauges, may be uniquely presented using a local quantum action, S = S() in the space M(toNt=1)  Mtot of fields A:

+
+() = C(A, B) + (), () = 1, for deg. > 2, deg(A, B) = 1
+
+(2.6)
+
+with the use, first, the condensed notations in (2.5) and (2.6), implying the integration over some region in R1,d-1 and trace over su(N^ ) indices, second, of a nilpotent Grassmann-odd "right-hand" (left-hand) Slavnov generator -s (s), -s 2 = 0, [15] of N = 1 BRST transformations acting on the local coordinates

In turn, for the generating functionals of Green's functions, as well as of correlated and one-particle irreducible Green's functions (known as well as, the effective action ( A )), depending, respectively, on the external sources JA, (JA) = A and mean fields, A , we have

+Now, we have all the things prepared to generalize the Faddeev�Popov procedure in order to realize a more general case of N = 3 BRST symmetry for an appropriate local quantum action depending on the entire set of fields, on which the latter symmetry transformations are defined.
+
+2.2 Proposal for non-local Faddeev�Popov path integral with N = 3 BRST symmetry
+
+There are many ways to present the functionals (1.2), (1.3) without using a determinant and a functional -function within perturbation techniques. In the case of Landau and Feynman gauges, we generalize the path integral (1.2), 1.3 by the rule
+
+Z0L = Z0F =
+
+dA (A) det M (A)detkM (A) det-kM (A) exp
+
+i �h
+
+S0(A)
+
+, k  0,
+
+(2.31)
+
+dAdB det M (A)detkM (A) det-kM (A) exp
+
+i �h
+
+S0
+
+(A)
+
++
+
+d4x �A� + g2B B .(2.32)
+
+7
+
+The path integral formulations with local quantum action exist for any k  N0 as follows, e.g. for (2.31):
+
+Z0L =
+
+k
+
+k
+
+dAdB dCldCl dBldBl exp
+
+i �h
+

+for D[k] = (D1, ..., Dk), D  {C, C, B, B}, (C0, C0)  (C, C),
+
+(2.33) (2.34) (2.35)
+
+where odd-valued fields C[k], C[k] and even-valued fields B[k], B[k] taking values in Lie group G, whose numbers coincide.
+However, it is not for any k that there exists a local representation for the path integral (2.33) such that the total set of fields, (k), (k) = (A, C0, C0, C[k], C[k], B[k], B[k], B) forms the representation space of Abelian group of SUSY transformations, like N = 1, 2 BRST symmetry, for k = 0, but with larger numbers of N  3, so that the Grassmann-odd: with Cl, Cl; Grassmann-even : with Bl, Bl ghost actions with Faddeev-Popov operator and gauge-fixed term with (A)B would be generated as the exact terms with respect to the action of being searched N -parametric generators of BRST symmetry transformations.
+More exactly, the fact holds that
+Statement 1: In order the action functional SL(k), (2.34) to be given on the configuration space of fields (k) = (A, C0, C0, C[k], C[k], B[k], B[k], B) permitting the local presentation for the path integral, ZL(0), (2.31) in the form (2.33) will be invariant with respect to N = N (k)-parametric Abelian SUSY transformations with Grassmann-odd generators -s pk : -s pk -s qk + -s qk -s pk = 0, qk, pk = 1, ..., N , and will be presented in the form:
+
+S(LN(k))((N(k))) = S0(A) -
+
+(-1)N N!
+
+F(N
+

+
+  p1kp2k...pN k p1kp2k...pN k = N ! for k > 2,
+
+(2.37)
+
+with some gauge-fixing functional, F(N(k)) corresponding to the Landau gauge, so that the fields (N(k))7 should parameterize the irreducible representation superspace of the Abelian superalgebra G(N (k)) of
+N (k)-parametric SUSY transformations, the spectra of integer k = k(N ) should be found as:
+
+1) k(1) = 0, k(N ) = 2N-2 - 1, for N  2 .
+
+(2.38)
+
+If in addition, the gauge-fixing functional F(N(k)) should be determined without introducing auxiliary Grassmann-odd scalar or supermatrix the spectra of integer k = ku(N ) is determined by the relation:
+
+2)
+
+ku(1) = 0,
+
+ku(N
+
+)
+
+=
+
+22[
+
+N -1 2
+
+]
+
+-
+
+1,
+
+for
+
+N
+
+ 2,
+
+(2.39)
+
+for integer part, [x], of real x.
+Note, the local path integral ZFL(N(k)) (0) = d(N(k)) exp{(i/�h)S(LN(k))((N(k)))} = Z0L for N (k) > 2 due to the presence of possible additional vertexes in fictitious fields in S(LN(k)). In addition, in the second case
+7When the exponential index k in the representations (2.31), (2.32) is related to N = N (k)-parametric SUSY transformations we will denote the fields parameterizing configuration space, the quantum action and gauge-fixing functional as, (N(k)), S(LN(k)), F(N(k)) in opposite case we add "tilde" over it: (k), S(Lk), F(k) so that for N (k) = k in general: (N(k)) = (k), S(LN(k)) = S(Lk).
+
+8
+
+the requirement of the irreducibility of the G(N (k)) (finite-dimensional) representations for each N (k) is weakened. The irreducibility will be hold only for even N : N = 2K, K  N.
+
+Indeed, this leads, for N = 1, k(1) = 0, to the standard Faddeev�Popov representation (1.5) with the BRST symmetry, whereas, for k(2) = 0, this leads to the N = 2 BRST symmetry with a local path integral (2.16).
+
+For N = 3, k(3) = 1, there arises a first non-trivial case for the case 1 (2.38) and ku(3) = 3 for the case 2 (2.39) of the Statement. For N = 4 for both cases we have from (2.38), (2.39): k(4) = ku(4) = 3.
+
+The validity of the first part (2.38) follows from the simple fact that any field finite-dimensional
+
+irreducible tensor representation superspace of the Abelian superalgebra G(N ) with Grassmann-odd gen-
+
+erators -s p:

+
+part in fields Cp, Bp1...pl, B, for l = 2, ..., N - 1, due to the last equation in (2.43) has the length,
+
+llin = N . The Grassmann-odd and Grassmann-even numbers of new degrees of freedom for additional to A� fields in the multiplet k(N) of the irreducible representation of the superalgebra G(N ) without decomposition in su(N^ ) generators tm are equal to, (2N-1, 2N-1 - 1). Indeed, for N = 1, the only ghost
+
+field C(x) contains in N = 1 irreducible multiplet. For N = 2, two ghost-antighost Cp  Ca, a = 1, 2
+
+and Nakanishi-Lautrup, B2  B, fields. Then, first, extracting the degrees of freedom relating to the usual ghost and antighost C, C and B fields, second, dividing any subset on pairs of Grassmann-odd
+
+(and Grassmann-even) fields as it is given in (2.34), we get to the value of k = k(N ) for the respective
+
+exponent of the determinants in (2.31):
+
+(2N-1, 2N-1 - 1) 
+
+2N-1 - 2, 2N-1 - 2

+
+1 2
+
+2N-1 - 2, 2N-1 - 2
+
+2=.38
+
+2N-2 - 1, 2N-2 - 1 . (2.44)
+
+However, we meet the problem when going to construct the action functional (quantum action), S(LN(k)), by the rule (2.36) for odd N = 2K - 1, in particular, for N = 3 SUSY transformations on the G(N )irreducible representation superspace. Indeed, the respective gauge-fixing functional, F(3) (3) due to the linear part of the N = 3 SUSY transformations (2.41), (2.43) should be, at least, quadratic in the fields A�. The fact that, the Grassmann parity of F(3)) determines it as the fermion, (F(3)) = 1, means the necessity to introduce some additional Grassmann odd non-degenerate supermatrix in order to realize the prescription (2.36) for the quantum action. The details of using of such kind of odd supermatrix, which should both to determine the required Grassmann parity of F(3) and to change the basis of additional fields (C, B) in the configuration space parameterized by (3 to construct N = 3 SUSY invariant action S(L3)((3)) for k(3) = 1 are considered in the Appendix A.
+For k(N ) N=5;6,... = 7; 15, . . ., etc, the situation is more involved, and we leave its detailed consideration out of the paper scope (see as well comments in the Conclusions).
+
+9
+
+The validity of the second part (2.39) of the Statement we consider here only for N = 3 case, whereas
+for even, N = 2K, case its both parts (2.38) and (2.39) coincide.
+To do so we should determine the total configuration space, M(toNt=3)  M(to3t), the fields parameterizing it, (3), (3) =(3) being sufficient to construct the (bare) quantum action, S(L3), must form a finitedimensional field completely reducible representation of Abelian G(3) superalgebra. That means, that on the fields (3) it will be realized the another irreducible representation of N = 3-parametric G(3) superalgebra not being entangled with the irreducible G(3)-representation acting on the fields (3).
+First of all, let us find exactly the action of the generators -s p of G(N )-representation for N = 3 on
+the fields (3), (3) = A�, Cp1 , Bp1p2 , B(3) = B parameterizing irreducible representation superspace from (2.41) �(2.43). Lemma 1: The action of the generators -s p of the Abelian superalgebra G(3) on the fields (3) is given by the relations:

+Bp[p1 , Cp2] , Cp3 + Bp1p2 , Cp , Cp3 = pp1p2 P p3 ,
+

+

+
+(2.64)
+
+meaning that we may put (B4) = 0. One can easily see that the 3 � 3 equations (2.57) considered for B
+
+are fulfilled as well:
+
+B -s p[31]-s p[32] + -s p[32]-s p[31] = 0  -s {[3p]1 -s p[32]} = 0.
+
+(2.65)
+
+Therefore, -s p = -s p[3] are the generators of the irreducible representation of G(3) superalgebra of N = 3-
+
+parametric transformations in the field superspace, M(m3i)n, parameterized by the fields, A(33). That fact
+
+completes the proof of the Lemma 1.
+
+Thus, in order to have the superspace of irreducible representation being closed with respect to the action of abelian Lie superalgebra G(3) with Grassmann odd scalar generators -s p this superspace should parameterized by the set of fields:
+
+{A(33)} = A�, Cp, Bp1p2 , B = An�, Cpn, Bp1p2n, Bn tn
+
+(2.66)
+
+used as local coordinates in the configuration space M(m3i)n with dimension: dim M(m3)in = (N^ 2 - 1) d + 3, 3 + 1 , for an irreducible gauge theory of the fields A� with a non-Abelian gauge group SU (N^ ). It is obvious that M(m3)in  M(toi)t for i = 1, 2. We will call M(m3i)n as the minimal configuration space.
+Now, due to insufficiency of the M(m3i)n to provide gauge-fixing procedure without using of additional odd supermatrix or Grassmann-odd parameter let us extend the M(m3i)n by the fields (3) of so-called non-minimal sector, starting from a new antighost field, C(x) = Cm(x)tm, to provide a determination of the gauge fermion F(3)  (3) as the quadratic functional for the Landau gauge, (A) = 0:
+
+L(3)(C, A) = ddx tr C(A).
+
+(2.67)
+
+Properly the fields (3) contain the Nakanishi-Lautrup fields, B, and have the contents
+
+(3) = C, Bp, Bp1p2 , B ,  C, Bp1p2 + (1, 1) =  Bp1 , B = (0, 0)
+
+(2.68)
+
+with even and odd degrees of freedom, (3+1, 1+3) (modulo dim SU (N^ ) indices) and determine the action of generators -s p(n) of the representation of the Abelian superalgebra G(3) in the superspace, M(n3m) , with
+the local coordinates (3). Lemma 2: The action of the generators -s p(n) of the Abelian superalgebra G(3) on the fields (3) is determined by the relations:
+
+C-s p(n) = Bp, Bp1 -s p(n) = Bp1p, Bp1p2 -s p(n) = p1p2pB, B-s p(n) = 0.
+
+(2.69)

+
+Indeed, the relations (2.69) repeat by its form linearized chain (2.41) �(2.43) without non-linear terms. It easy to check, that the generators -s p(n) satisfy to the defining relations:
+
+-s p(n1)-s p(n2) + -s p(n2)-s p(n1) = 0,
+
+4
+-s p(nl ) = 0.
+l=1
+
+(2.70)
+
+12
+
+In particular, we have the exact sequence
+
+C, Bp, Bp1p2 , B  -s p(n3) Bp3 , Bpp3 , p1p2p3 B, 0  -s p(n4) Bp3p4 , pp3p4 B, 0, 0  -s p(n5) p3p4p5 B, 0, 0, 0  0 -s p(n6) (2.71)
+of the length, equal to 4.
+
+We will call the representation (2.69) as the N = 3 trivial representation of the superalgebra G(3).
+
+Finally. we construct the reducible representation of the superalgebra G(3) in the total configuration
+
+space, M(to3t), parameterized by the fields, (3), (3) = (3) , with dimension in each space-time point x  R1,d-1,
+
+dim M(to3t) = (N^ 2 - 1) d + 23 - 1, 23 .
+
+(2.72)
+
+The generators of this representation we will denote as, -s pto3t = -s p3 + -s p(n3), (and then we will omit index "tot" in it as it done for the generally-adopted notations in N = 1, 2 BRST symmetry cases). The action of -s pto3t is completely determined by (2.45) and (2.45).
+Now, let us turn to the gauge-fixing procedure, construction of the quantum action and path integral, whose integrand will be invariant with respect to derived N = 3 SUSY transformations.
+
+2.3 N = 3 BRST-invariant path integral and quantum action
+
+Let us determine the local path integral, Z3, and generating functionals of Green functions in any ad-
+missible gauge, turning to the non-degenerate Faddeev-Popov matrix, for Yang-Mills theory underlying above constructed explicit N = 3 SUSY invariance (2.45), (2.69) in the total configuration space M(to3t), with triplet of anticommuting parameters p and the local quantum action S(3) ((3), (3)) given by the prescription (2.36) as follows:

+
+,
+
+(2.74)
+
+with gauge fermion functional, (3) = (3) (3) , depending on the fields (3) as follows (confer with (2.6)):
+
+(3)((3)) = C(3)(A, B) + (3)((3)), for deg(3) > 2, deg(3)(A, B) = 1,
+
+(2.75)
+
+and external sources JAt3 = JA3 , J An3 to the respective Green functions related to the fields A(33), A(3n3) with the same Grassmann parities: (JA3 ) = (A(33)), (J An3 ) = (A(3n3) ).
+
+It is easy to check that both the' functional measure, d(3)d(3) = d(3), as well as the quantum action, S(3) , are invariant with respect to the change of variables, A(3t)  (A3)t generated by N = 3 SUSY transformations (2.45), (2.69), with accuracy up to the first order in constant p (equally with
+infinitesimal p):
+
+(A3)t = A(3t)(1 + -s pp) : A(3t) = A(3t)-s pp = S(3) = o(), sdet (3)/(3) = 1 + o(), (2.76)
+
+We will call, therefore, the transformations:
+
+A(3t) = (A3)t - A(3t) = A(3t)-s pp,
+
+(2.77)
+
+with the explicit action of the generators -s p (2.45), (2.69) on the component fields as N = 3-parametric BRST transformations.
+
+13
+
+The particular representations for the path integrals (2.73), (2.74) in the Landau and Feynman gauges are easily obtained within the same R-family of the gauges as for the N = 1 BRST invariant case (2.5) due to obvious coinciding choice of the gauge functions, (3)(A, B), for (3) = 0, in (2.75) with one, (A, B) = (�A� + g2B = 0), in (2.6). The quantum action, S(3) , has the representation:

Indeed, e.g. the validity of (2.84) follows from the calculation of variations:
+
+A = AA (3t) A(3t)-s p p = AA (3t) A(3t)-s p  A-s p, (AB) = (A)B + A(B) = (A-s pp)B + A(B-s pp) = (A-s p)B(-1)(B) + A(B-s p)
+
+(2.87) p,(2.88)
+
+and the same for the second: 1 2(AB), and third: 12 2 (AB) variations.
+For instance, the ghost-dependent functional, Sadd(3), with cubic and quartic in fictitious fields terms is derived from the expression:
+
+Sadd(3)

+
++ M (A)Cr, Cp , Cq + D�(A)Cr, �Cp , Cq + D�(A)Cr, Cp , �Cq pqr,
+
+where we have omitted vanishing terms, Cp, Cq pqr  0, and with use of the antisymmetry in p, q, r as well as the integration by parts the representation (2.81) immediately follows from (2.89). Note, the each term in Sadd(3), which determine the interaction vertexes from the sector of fictitious fields, contains the
+
+14
+
+space-time differential operator for any gauge from R-gauges, that looks as more nontrivial analog of Sadd (2.20) for N = 2 BRST symmetry.
+
+Let us study some consequences of the suggested N = 3 BRST transformations. As in the N = 1, 2
+
+BRST case, the N = 3 invariance, for the corresponding generating functionals of Green's functions,
+
+Z3|(J ) , W3|(J ) and effective action, 3|( (3) ): 3|( (3) ) = W3|(J ) - JAt A(3t) , JAt = -(3|/ A(3t) ), A(3t) = - A(Jt)W3|(J ),
+
+(2.90)
+
+with a given gauge condition (3)((3)), leads to the presence of an G(3)-triplet of Ward identities:
+
+JAt A(3t)-s p (3),J = 0,
+
+JAt
+
+A(3t)-s p
+
+(3),J = 0,

+3|  A(3t)
+
+A(3t)-s p (3)  = 0,
+
+(2.91)
+
+with respective normalized average expectation values M , (3),J M , (3),J M , (3),  so that
+
+1 (3),J = 1, for a functional M = M ((3)) calculated using Z3|(J ), W3|(J ), 3| for a given gauge fermion (3) in the presence of external sources , JAt and mean fields A(3t) . The gauge independence
+
+of the path integral Z3|(0)  Z3|(3) (0) under an infinitesimal variation of the gauge condition, (3)  (3) + (3):
+
+Z3|(3)+(3) (0) = Z3|(3) (0).
+
+(2.92)
+

+
+(2.93)
+
+which we consider in details in the Section 5.
+
+The equivalence of N = 3 and N = 1 BRST invariant path integrals Z3|(0) (2.73), Z (2.5),. e.g in R-like gauges immediately follows from the structure of the quantum action S(3) , (2.78). Indeed,

+
+The crucial point of the found N = 3 BRST symmetry transformations in M(to3t) that the whole fields (3) due to the relations (2.38), (2.39) of the Statement leading to: ku(3) = k(4) = ku(4), maybe organized in the respective multiplet of N = 4 field irreducible SUSY transformations with constant 4 Grassmann-

+

+Ri (A)- j Rj (A) - (-1) Ri (A)- j Rj (A) = -FRi (A), for F = f mnl(x - z)(x - y). (3.2)
+The nilpotency on any other fields follows, first, from the Leibnitz rule of acting of -s� on the commutator of any functions A, B with definite Grassmann parities:
+
+A, B -s� = A-s� , B (-1)(B) + A, B-s� ,
+

+
+(3.4)
+
+for any A  C, Bp1 , Bp1p2 , Cp1 , Bp1p2 , B, B . E.g. for Grassmann-even A = Bp1p2 we have,

+(3.5)
+
+where we have used the relations (3.1), linearity and Leibnitz rule (3.3) for -s� , Jacobi identity (3.4) and
+
+generalized antisymmetry for the (super)commutator.
+
+The transformations,
+
+(3)  (3) = (3)(1 + -s� �) = (3) + � (3),
+

+, with S(1) = S0(A) + (1)-s� ,
+
+(3.7)

+
+with a new gauge fermion functional, (1) = (1) (3) , which should determine a non-degenerate
+
+quantum action S(1) on the Mt(o3t), i.e. with non-degenerate supermatrix of the second derivatives in
+
+A(3t), B(3t)
+
+of
+
+S(1)
+
+evaluated -

+
+(1) = B(1)(A, B) + CpBqrpqr + (1)((3)), for deg.(1) > 2, deg(1)(A, B) = 1.
+
+(3.8)
+
+Indeed, from the invariance of the integration measure, d(3), and quantum action, S(1) , due to the same reason as for the standard N = 1 BRST realization in Mtot (2.8):
+
+� S(1) = 0, d(3) = d(3)sdet (3)/(3) = d(3),
+
+(3.9)
+
+it follows the invariance of the integrand in Z1|(0) with respect to these transformations. It justifies a definition of the transformations (3.6) as N = 1 antiBRST symmetry transformations in M(to3t).
+Choosing, (1)((3)) = 0 in (3.8) for the quadratic gauge functional, (1), (in particular, for Rgauges: (1)(A, B) = (A, B)) we find for the quantum action, S(1) , the representation:
+
+S(1) = S0(A) + ddx tr �A� + g2B B + BM (A)C + BpBqr + CpBqr pqr + Sadd(1),(3.10)
+
+Sadd(1) = ddx tr Cp Bqr , C + Cp, C Bqr pqr.
+
+(3.11)
+
+Integrating out of Bp, Bqr fields we get for the path integral:
+
+Z1|(0) =
+
+dAdBdCdBdCpdBqr(Bq1r1 )(Cp1 ) exp
+
+i �h
+

+
+S
+
+(1)
+
+with S = S0(A) +  (1) -s� ,  (1) = B(1)(A, B),(3.13)
+
+where the resulting (after integration) fields A(1), in fact, coincide with the fields given by the local formulation for the path integral (2.5) within Faddeev-Popov rules with N = 1 BRST symmetry, in
+particular, for the Landau gauge (1.5) under identification:
+
+A(1) = A, B, C, B  A = A, C, C, B .
+
+(3.14)
+
+The only difference consists in the realization N = 1 antiBRST symmetry for Z1|(0) given in M(to3t) and of N = 1 BRST symmetry for Z (2.5) determine over Mtot. After replacing (B, C)  (C, C) the above path integral will coincide exactly
+Thus, we reached the validity of the
+Statement 2: The path integral, Z1|(0), (3.7) with the quantum action, S(1) , (3.10) at least, for the
+special quadratic gauge fermion, (1), (3.8) with (1) = 0 determined in N = 3 reducible representation space, M(to3t), of G(3) superalgebra, but with realization of the additional N = 1 antiBRST symmetry (3.1), (3.9) coincide with respective path integral (3.12), with the quantum action, S, (3.13) obtained with use of N = 1 antiBRST symmetry transformations acting in the standard configuration space, Mtot.
+Now, we may reveal the physical contents of the fields spectrum for the Z3|(0) (2.73), S(3) (3) (2.78)�(2.81) being invariant with respect to N = 3 BRST symmetry transformations (2.45), (2.69). Namely, the fields B, C from M(to3t) space correspond respectively to the pair of ghost field C inheriting the gauge symmetry and antighost field, C, introducing the gauge condition in the gauge fermion for N = 1 BRST symmetry realization of the standard Faddeev-Popov path integral.

+
+Lautrup field B remains the same as in case of standard N = 1 BRST symmetry formulation, i.e. as the
+
+Lagrangian multiplier (at least for Landau gauge) introducing the gauge into the quantum action.
+
+Because of, the term in the ghost part, Sgh(3), (2.80) with Grassmann-even triplet of ghost-antighost pairs maybe presented as follows,
+
+1 2
+
+ddx tr BpM (A)Bqrpqr 
+
+ddx tr BpM (A)Bp
+
+(3.15)
+
+we can immediately identify the fields, (C0, C0; C[3], C[3]; B[3], B[3]) in the quantum action (2.34) for the local representation (2.33) of the generalized path integral (2.31) , for ku(3) = 3, with singlet and Grassmann-odd and Grassmann-even triplets of ghost pairs as follows:
+
+C0, C0; C[3], C[3]; B[3], B[3] = B, C; Cp, Bp; Bp, Bp, .
+
+(3.16)
+
+Note, first, that for N = 1 antiBRST symmetry realization in the configuration space M(to3t) it is possible in addition to the path integral formulation (3.7) introduce all necessary for diagrammatic Feynman tech-
+
+nique generating functionals of Green functions as it was done for N = 1 and N = 3 BRST symmetry case
+
+in the Subsections 2.1, 2.3 and study theirs respective properties (Ward identities, gauge-independence

+
+3.2 N = 4 = 3 + 1 SUSY transformations
+
+Now, we are able to consider the triplet of the Grassmann-odd ghost fields Cp and singlet C, triplets of the Grassmann-even ghost fields Bpq and Bp, triplet of new Grassmann-odd ghost fields Bpq and singlet B on the equal footing within corresponding Grassmann-odd quartet, Cr, Grassmann-even sextet, Br1r2, and Grassmann-odd quartet, Br1r2r3 for r, r1, r2, r3 = 1, 2, 3, 4 as the elements (with the fields A�, B) of the irreducible tensor representation of the Abelian G(4) superalgebra. In fact, the N = 3 and N = 1
+representations of G(3) and G(1) superalgebra in the same G(3)-representation space of the fields (3) are nontrivially entangled in unique N = 4 irreducible representation in the same representation space M(to3t) = M(to4t) whose local coordinates (fields) are organized into G(4)-irreducible antisymmetric tensors, as well as the parameters and generators have the structures:

+
+The form of the transformations (3.20) follows from the chain (2.41), (2.43) for N = 4. To prove the Lemma we will follow the algorithm elaborated when the Lemma 1 was proved. We start from the boundary condition for the transformations (3.20) inherited from the gauge transformations for A� (2.40)

+
+so that the latter quantities, Qr44 pared for the N = 3 quantities,

+, (3.43) do not present in the transformations for Qp  Qp3 (2.62), (2.63), which are non-vanishing
+
+B in when
+
+(3.20) enter
+
+as cominto the
+
+transformations for B (2.45). One can immediately check that the equations (3.40) considered for B,
+
+instead of Br1r2r3 , are fulfilled as well:
+
+B -s r[41]-s r[42] + -s r[42]-s r[41] = 0  -s {[4r]1 -s [r42]} = 0.
+
+(3.44)
+
+Therefore, -s r = -s r[4] are the generators of the irreducible representation of G(4) superalgebra of N = 4-
+parametric SUSY transformations in the field superspace, Mt(o4t), parameterized by the fields, A(44). That fact completes the proof of the Lemma 4.
+
+Note, first, that the transformations on the fields Br1r2 , Br1r2r3 , B do not contain the terms more than
+cubic in the fictitious fields, whereas they depend linearly on the fields B's in the cubic terms. Second, the quantities, Qr4 do not enter into the transformations for Grassmann-even field B as compared to its N = 3 analogs, Qp, which are essentially presented in the transformations for Grassmann-odd B.
+
+Now, we have all necessary to construct N = 4 G(4)-invariant quantum action for the Yang�Mills theory.
+
+4 N=4 BRST invariant gauge-fixing procedure and local path integral
+Let us determine according to the prescription (2.33), (2.36) the local path integral, Z4, generating functionals of Green functions in any admissible gauge, turning to the non-degenerate Faddeev-Popov matrix, for Yang-Mills theory underlying above constructed explicit N = 4 SUSY invariance (3.20) in
+21
+
+the total configuration space M(to4t), M(to4t) = M(to3t), with quartet of anticommuting parameters r and the local quantum action SY(4) ((4)) as follows:

+

+
+.
+
+(4.2)
+
+with use of the compact notation for, r1r2r3r4  [r]4. Here, W4|Y (J(4)) is the generating functionals of connected correlated Green functions and gauge boson functional, F(N(4)) = Y(4) = Y(4) (4) , depends on the fields (4) as follows (confer with Y (2.17) for N = 2 BRST symmetry):
+
+Y(4)((4)) = Y(04)((4)) + Y(4)((4)), for degY(4) > 2, degY(04)((4)) = 2,
+
+(4.3)
+
+and JAt4 are the external sources (coinciding with ones for N = 3 case, JAt3 ) to the Green functions related to A(4t4) with the same Grassmann parities: (JAt4 ) = (A(4t4)).
+It is not difficult to check that both the' functional measure, d(4), as well as the quantum action, SY(4) , are invariant with respect to the change of variables, A(4t)  (A4)t generated by N = 4 SUSY transformations (3.20) with accuracy up to the first order in constant p (equally with infinitesimal p):
+(A4)t = A(4t)(1 + -s rr) : A(4t) = A(4t)-s rr = SY(4) = o(), sdet (4)/(4) = 1 + o(), (4.4)
+
+These properties justify the definition of the transformations:
+
+A(4t) = (A4)t - A(4t) = A(4t)-s rr,
+
+(4.5)
+
+with the explicit action of the generators -s r (3.20) on the component fields as N = 4-parametric BRST transformations for the functionals Z4|Y (0), Z4|Y (J(4)).
+The particular representations for the path integrals (4.1), (4.2) in the Landau and Feynman gauges may be obtained within the same R-family of the gauges as for the N = 1, 2, 3 BRST invariant cases (2.5), (2.17), (2.73). To do so we determine the quadratic gauge boson functional, Y(04)((4)), which should generate R-like gauges as follows:

To derive (4.7)�(4.10) we have used the relations (2.82)�(2.86), (3.3) being adapted for N = 4 BRST symmetry, as well as the following from (2.86) Leibnitz-like property of the generators, -s r acting on the product of any functions A, B with definite Grassmann grading:
+
+(AB) -s r1 -s r2 -s r3 -s r4 [r]4 = A-s r1 -s r2 -s r3 -s r4 B + 4A-s r1 (B-s r2 -s r3 -s r4 ) (-1)(B)

+
+The detailed derivation for the quantum action, structure of the additional -dependent term, S, are considered in the Appendix B. Note, the each terms in Sadd(4) contain space-time derivative and, in particular, the second-order differential operator (Faddeev-Popov operator) for any gauge from R-gauges, as for the Sadd(3) (2.89) for N = 3 BRST symmetry. For the Landau gauge, the summands in Sadd(4) proportional to the Lorentz condition: (�A�) = 0, may be omitted therein due to the presence of ((�A�)) in the functional integral (4.1) after integrating over the fields B.
+The equivalence of N = 4 and N = 1 BRST invariant path integrals Z4|Y (0) (4.1), Z (2.5),. e.g in the Landau gauge determined by the gauge functional Y(04)(A) (4.6) follows analogously to the derivation (2.94) for N = 3 case from the structure of the quantum action SY(4) , (4.7)�(4.10). Indeed, using the representation for SY(4) (B.22) in terms of dual G(4)-tensor fields Br1r2 , Cr (B.20), (B.21) let us divide the quartets of ghost Grassman-odd fields Cr, Cr as G(3)-triplets and singlets which permits to present the respective term in the ghost part of the action as:
+
+Cr; Cr = (C, Cp); (C, Cp)  CrM (A)Cr = CM (A)C + CpM (A)Cp,
+
+(4.12)
+
+for r = (1, p), p = 1, 2, 3 and C  -B234. Because of the remark above we may omit the terms with
+(�A�) with except for Nakanishi-Lautrup field B and therefore integrate by the fields Cp, second, with respect to Cp, and then trivially with respect to Br1r2 and Br1r2 for 1  r1 < r2  3 as follows:
+
+Z4|Y (0)(0) = =

+
+= Z.
+
+(4.13)
+
+The functional Z exactly coincides with one given in (2.5) in the Landau gauge.
+Again, the N = 4 BRST invariance, for the corresponding generating functionals of Green's functions, Z4|Y (J(4)) , W4|Y (J(4)) and effective action, 4|Y ( (4) ) determined by the same rule as for its N = 3 analog (2.90) with a given gauge condition Y(4)((4)), leads to the presence of an G(4)-quartet of Ward identities:

+Here, we consider the algorithm of construction of finite N = k BRST transformations starting from its algebraic (infinitesimal) proposals respectively for k = 3, 4 cases and calculate theirs Jacobians together with some physical corollaries.
+
+5.1 N = 3 BRST transformations
+The finite N = 3 BRST transformations acting on the fields A(3t3), parameterizing configuration space M(to3t), are restored from the algebraic (equivalently, infinitesimal for small p) N = 3 BRST transformations, generalizing the recipe [26] for N = 2 BRST symmetry and following to [27], [35] in two equivalent ways. First, the derivation is based on the condition which follows for any -s p-closed regular functional K (3) to be invariant with respect to right-hand supergroup transformations and, second, from the Lie equations :
+
+1) K g(p)(3) = K (3) and K-s p = 0  g (p) = exp {-s pp} ,

+
+For the field-dependent G(3) triplet of odd-valued functionals p((3)), which is not closed under N = 3 BRST transformations, p-s p = 0, but for, /x�p = 0, the finite element g p((3)) cannot be

The Jacobian of a change of variables: A(3t3)  (A3)t3 = A(3t3)g~ p((3)) , in M(to3t), in the path integral Z3|(0) (2.73) generated by finite FD N = 3 BRST transformations may be calculated explicitly, following a generalization of the

+6 Correspondence between the gauges, Ward identities, gauge dependence, gauge-invariant Gribov�Zwanziger model.
+
+Here we consider the physical properties of the respective N = 3, N = 4 finite BRST transformations, including extended by sources (antifields) to the N = 3 or N = 4 BRST transformations effective actions in the Subsection 6.1 and its applications in the Subsection 6.2 to the Gribov�Zwanziger model [36] with gauge-invariant horizon functional suggested in [37] with preservation of the local N = 1, 2 BRST invariance, shown in [38], [39].
+
+6.1 FD Finite N = 3, 4 BRST Symmetry for Ward identities and Gauge Dependence Problem.
+
+First, let us study a relation that exists among the path integrals underlying N = 3 BRST symmetry, Z3|(3)0 (0) and Z3|(3)0+(3) (0) in different admissible gauges, one of which being described by a Grassmann-odd gauge functional (3)0 corresponding to the Landau gauge (2.75) for  = 0. The other one ((3)0 + (3)) corresponds to any family from the gauges within the (3)((3)), including R-gauges for (3) = 0 in (2.75) and for (A, B) = (�A� + g2B = 0) within the functional (3)((3)). To this end, we use a finite FD N = 3 BRST transformation with functionally-dependent parameters ^p1 |(3)
+(5.11), the N = 3 BRST invariance of the quantum action, S(3) (3) (2.78) for  = 0, and the form of the Jacobian, J(3) (3) , (5.12) of a corresponding change of variables, (3)  (3)g~(^), given as follows

+The coincidence of the vacuum functionals Z3|(3)0 (0) and Z3|(3)0+(3) (0), evaluated with the respective fermionic functionals (3)0 and (3)0 + (3), takes place in case there holds a compensation equation for an unknown Fermionic functional  = ((3)):

+with opposite sign than in (2.93) because of we started here from the gauge determined by (3)0 instead of (3)0 + (3) in (2.92). Therefore, for any change (3) of the gauge condition (3)0  (3)0 + (3), we can construct a unique FD N = 3 BRST transformation with functionally-dependent parameters (6.4) that allows one to preserve the form of the path integral (6.1) for the same Yang�Mills theory. On the another hand, if we consider the inverse form of compensation equation (6.2) for an unknown gauge variation (3) with a given  (3) , we can present it in the form

+

+
+Thereby, for any change of variables in the path integral Z(3)0 given by finite FD N = 3 BRST transfor-
+
+mations

+the

+^p

+
+Z , (3)0+(3)
+
+evaluated,
+
+however, in a gauge determined by the Fermionic functional (3)0 + (3), in complete agreement with
+
+(6.7).
+
+This latter, in particular, implies that we are able to reach any gauge condition for the partition function within the R-like family of gauges, starting, e.g., from the Landau gauge and choosing: (3) = g2 ddxtr CB (for  = 1 in the Feynman gauge).
+Making in Z(3) (J(3)) an FD N = 3 BRST transformation, (3)  (3)g~(^) and using the relations (5.12) and (6.3), we obtain a modified Ward (Slavnov�Taylor ) identity:
+

+
+i �h

+
+J(3)
+
+d(3) L exp
+
+i �h
+
+S(3) + JC3t (C33t)
+
+, with 1 (3),J(3) = 1 .
+
+(6.9)
+
+Due to the presence of  (3) , which implies functionally dependent ^p(), the modified Ward identity
+depends on a choice of the gauge Fermion (3) (3) for non-vanishing J(3), according to (6.3), (6.4), and therefore the corresponding Ward identities for Green's functions, obtained by differentiating (6.8) with respect to the sources, contain the functionals ^p() and their derivatives as weight functionals. Due to
+(6.8) for constant p, the usual G(3)-triplet of the Ward identities (2.91) for Z3|(3) (J(3)) follow from the first order in p.
+Then, taking account of (6.4), we find that (6.8) implies a relation which describes the gauge dependence of Z3|(3) (J(3)) for a finite change of the gauge, (3)  (3) + (3):
+
+Z J 3|(3)+(3) (3) = Z3|(3) J(3)

+
+so that on the mass-shell for Z3|(3) J(3) : J(3) = 0, the path integral (and therefore the conventional physical S-matrix) does not depend on the choice of (3) (3) .
+Let us introduce extended generating functionals of Green's functions by means of sources KC3t|p, KC3t|pq = -KC3t|qp, KC3t , ((KC3t|p) = (KC3t|pq) + 1 = (KC3t ) = (C3t ) + 1), introduced respectively to N = 3 BRST variations (C33t)-s p, (C33t)-s p-s q, and (C33t)(-s )3:

+The Ward identities (6.19) are interesting as they remind of the behavior of the extended quantum

+action S(3) (3), Kp, Kpq, K (6.14) � being the tree approximation for the extended effective action (3) within the loop expansion � and serve as generating equations for a corresponding G(3)-covariant

+
+In turn, the case of N = 4 finite BRST transformations permits to get the same results with some
+peculiarities. We restrict ourselves by only derivation of the respective modified Ward identity and description of the gauge dependence problem, being based on the solution of the compensation equation

+Thus, for any change of variables in the path integral Z4|Y(4) given by finite FD N = 4 BRST transformations with the parameters ^r (5.24), we obtain the same path integral Z , 4|Y(4)+Y(4) evaluated, however, in a gauge determined by the Bosonic functional Y(4) + Y(4).
+Making in Z4|Y(4) (J(4)) an FD N = 4 BRST transformation, (4)  (4)g~(^) and using the relations (5.25), (6.22) and (6.23), we obtain a N = 4 modified Ward (Slavnov�Taylor ) identity:

+
+(6.26)
+
+where the source-dependent average expectation value corresponding to a gauge-fixing Y(4) (4) is determined as in (6.9) for N = 3 case. Due to  (4) , which implies functionally dependent ^r(), the modified Ward identity depends on a choice of the gauge Boson Y(4) (4) for non-vanishing J(4), according to (6.22), (6.23) with the same as for N = 3 case interpretation for the modified Ward identities for the Green functions. Due to (6.26) for constant r, the usual G(4)-quartet of the Ward identities (4.14) for Z4|Y(4) (J(4)) follow from the first order in r.
+Then, taking account of (6.23), we find that (6.26) implies a relation which describes the gauge dependence of Z4|Y(4) (J(4)) for a finite change of the gauge, Y(4)  Y(4) + Y(4):
+
+Z4|Y(4)+Y(4) (J(4)) = Z4|Y(4) (J(4))

+so that on the mass-shell for Z4|Y(4) J(4) : J(4) = 0, the path integral (and therefore the conventional physical S-matrix) does not depend on the choice of Y(4) (4) .

+6.2 Gauge-independent Gribov-Zwanziger model with local N = 3, 4 BRST symmetries
+
+Finally, we turn to the Gribov copies problem [8] within the Gribov�Zwanziger model [36] with a gaugeinvariant horizon functional, H(Ah), recently proposed to be added to an N = 1 BRST invariant Yang�
+Mills quantum action [37] in Landau gauge with the use of the gauge-invariant (thereby, invariant with
+respect to a local N = 1, 2 BRST invariance, as it was shown in [39], Eq. (36)�(40)) transverse fields Ah� = (Ah)n�tn [43]:

+(6.29)
+
+Note, that the systematic study for the original Gribov�Zwanziger model [36] with not BRST-invariant horizon, H(A), within Lagrangian BRST quantization of gauge theories [44], [45] from the viewpoint of
+
+32
+
+so-called soft BRST symmetry breaking was initiated in [46]. Then, as in the case of N = 1, 2 BRST symmetry, the gauge and N = 1, 2 BRST invariant extension of the respective quantum Yang�Mills action within the R-family of gauges with a gauge fermion  and a boson Y prescribed by the Gribov� Zwanziger actions are given by

+BRST invariant formulations of the respective quantum actions S(3) (3) (2.78) and SY(4) (4) (4.7). Therefore, the N = 3 and N = 4 BRST invariant and gauge independent Gribov�Zwanziger actions within (3) and respectively within Y(4)-family of gauges related to R-gauges are given by

+(6.32) (6.33)
+
+As in the case of the N = 1, 2 BRST symmetry, one may expect the unitarity of the theory within the suggested N = 3, N = 4 BRST symmetry generalizations of the Faddeev�Popov quantization rules [3]. These problems are under study.
+The same results concerning the problems of unitarity and gauge-independence may be achieved within the local formulations of Gribov�Zwanziger theory [36] when the horizon functional is localized (in the path integral) by means of a quartet of auxiliary fields aux = m � n, �m � n; �mn, �m � n , having opposite Grassmann parities, (, �) = (, �) + 1 = 0, and being antisymmetric in su(N^ ) indices m, n. We suggest here the only N = 1 BRST invariant formulation,
+
+S^GZ (1), aux = S0(A) +  (1) -s + S(Ah, aux).
+
+(6.34)
+
+S = ddx �m � nM ml(Ah)�ln - ��mnM ml(Ah)�ln
+
++ f mnl(Ah)�m(n�l - �n�l) + 2d(N^ 2 - 1) ,
+
+(6.35)
+
+with additional non-local N = 1 BRST transformations for the fields aux with untouched ones for (1) (2.7)
+
+aux-s = m � n, �m � n; �mn, �m � n -s = 0, ��mn; m � n -  M -1 mk(Ah)f knl(Ah)l�, 0 . (6.36)
+The part S in case of N = 3 and N = 4 BRST formulation for the quantum actions (as well as for the N = 2 case) should be modified due to another spectra for the auxiliary fields aux.
+Finally, the non-local gauge-invariant transverse fields, Ah�, (6.28) can also be localized by using complex SU (N^ )-valued auxiliary field, h(x), with non-trivial own gauge and N = 1 BRST transformations [47] in order to reach really localized Gribov-Zwanziger model still N = 1, 2, 3, 4 BRST invariant without Gribov ambiguity, whose properties are now under study.
+
+7 On Feynman diagrammatic technique in N = 3, N = 4 BRST quantization
+Here, we introduce some new definitions to develop a Feynman diagrammatic technique for the Yang� Mills theory within suggested N = 3 and N = 4 BRST invariant formulations for the non-renormalized quantum actions S(3) (3) given by (2.78)�(2.81), and SY(4) (4) determined by (4.7)�(4.10). To be complete, we compare the graphs which contain additional lines related to new fictitious fields to ones with
+33
+
+known, i.e. ghost, C(x), antighost, C(x), fields in N = 1 BRST setup and with duplet of ghost-antighost fields, Ca(x), a = 1, 2 in N = 2 BRST setup, having in mind that usually the Nakanishi-Lautrup field B(x) is integrated out from the quantum actions.
+We present the generating functionals of Green functions in R-gauges Z(J) (2.9), ZY (J) determined
+with the quantum action SY () (2.18), Z3| (J ) (2.74), Z4|Y (J(4)) (4.2) respectively for N = 1, 2, 3, 4 BRST symmetry within the perturbation theory according to [48] but for d-dimensional space-time

From the N = 3 case the propagator's line for the Grassmann-even (Bose) fictitious particle is given by "dash with dot" as compared to the standard "dash" notations for the Grassmann-odd (Fermi) fictitious particle. There are 3 independent propagators for Grassmann-odd fields among CpBqr 0 and 3 ones for Grassmann-even from BpBqr 0 in the Figure 3, which are C1B23 0, C2B31 0, C3B12 0 and B1B23 0, B2B31 0, B3B12 0, i.e. for {p, q, r}={(1, 2, 3); (2, 3, 1).(3, 1, 2)}. For N = 4 BRST symmetric case the Figure 4 contains 4 independent propagators for Grassmann-odd fields - Cr4B[r]3 0 and 3 ones for Grassmann-even from Br1r2 Br3r4 0: C1B234 0, C2B314 0, C3B124 0, C4B132 0 and B12B34 0, B13B42 0, B14B23 0.
+There exist more additional vertexes from (7.9), (7.10), (7.11) which can be analogously represented as in the Figures 5, 6.
+8 Conclusion
+In the present work a generalization of the Faddeev�Popov proposal presenting the Lagrangian path integral for the Yang�Mills theory in Landau and Feynman gauges [3], [9] is proposed for non-local form by inserting the special unity, detkM (A) det-kM (A), depending on non-negative integer k in (2.31),

+(with the same number of physical degrees of freedom as compared to the case of space-time extended
+
+SUSY gauge theories) in the spectrum of the total configuration spaces larger than those for N = 1, 2
+
+BRST symmetry cases. It is shown in the Statement 1, that to realize the N = m BRST symmetry
+
+transformations with more than two Grassmann-odd parameters, p, p = 1, 2, ..., m (in substituting instead of the infinitesimal gauge parameters  = Cpp the m-plet of Grassmann-odd ghost fields) when formulating the corresponding quantum actions, S(LN(k))((N(k))) (2.36) with the gauge-fixing terms
+(respecting N (k) = m BRST invariance) to be added to the classical Yang�Mills action the spectrum
+
+of k = k(N ) should obey to the relation (2.38), whereas to perform the gauge-fixing procedure without
+
+using an odd non-degenerate transformation changing the Grassmann parities for some fictitious fields
+
+its spectrum k = ku(N ) is described by (2.39).
+
+An irreducible representation space, commuting generators -s p with triplet
+
+M(m3i)n, for the 3-parametric abelian superalgebra of Grassmann-odd constant parameters, p, with
+
+G(3) of antiits action on
+
+the local coordinates, fields (3), has been explicitly constructed by Eqs. (2.45). To formulate a local
+
+quantum action with appropriate gauge-fixing procedure, we have followed two ways. First, that proves
+
+the condition (2.38) of the Statement 1, is based on the original using of Grassmann-odd non-degenerate
+
+operator  which changes the Grassmann parities and acts on G(3)-irreducible space of initial Yang�Mills
+
+fields A�, triplets Cp, Bpq, odd singlet B, in such a way, that the respective change of variables in the
+
+subspace of part of fictitious fields, M (A.8) has permitted to make possible to pass to a new basis of
+
+fictitious fields in which the local quantum action (A.22) and path integral (A.13) in Landau gauge with
+
+a new form of N = 3 BRST symmetry transformations, (A.23)�(A.28), have been constructed. Second,
+
+the non-minimal sector of the fields (3) containing antighost field (as a connection) C to incorporate the usual gauge condition, (A, B), into a gauge fermionic functional (3) (2.75) has been introduced, on which a new N = 3 representation of G(3)-superalgebra is explicitly realized (2.69). The sector contains
+
+two G(3)-singlets, C, B with usual Nakanishi-Lautrup field and two G(3)-triplets, Bp, Bpq and together
+
+37
+
+with the fields, (3) composes the fields (3) of reducible G(3)-superalgebra representation parameterizing the total configuration space M(to3t), on which the quantum action S(3) (3) (2.78)�(2.81) and path in-
+
+tegral Z3|(0) (2.73) in R-like gauges, determined by the gauge fermionic functional (3) (3) (2.75), have been explicitly constructed. The set of the transformations in M(to3t), (3) = (3)-s pp, determined by (2.45), (2.69), leaving both the quantum action and the integrand of the respective path integral by
+
+invariant,we call N = 3 BRST transformations. The quantum (non-renormalized) action S(3) contains the terms quadratic in fictitious fields leading to the same one-loop contribution for the effective action
+
+as one for the quantum actions constructed according to N = 1 and N = 2 BRST symmetry principles
+
+in smaller configuration space, whereas for more than quadratic in powers of ghost fields terms in S(3) , described by the Sadd(3) (2.81) which generates the ghost vertexes to be different than ones derived from
+the former actions. We have established with the help of G(1)-superalgebra with nilpotent generator -s� and parameter �
+
+being additional to G(3)-superalgebra, but acting on the fields of M(to3t) by the rule (3.1), the fact that the G(1)- invariant path integral Z1|(0) (3.7) with the quantum action S(1) and, at least for special quadratic gauge fermionic functional (1) (3.8) given on M(to3t) is equivalent to the N = 1 antiBRST invariant path integral (3.12) with the quantum action S, (3.13) constructed by the standard Faddeev-Popov method
+with use of N = 1 antiBRST symmetry transformations acting in the standard configuration space, Mtot of fields A�, C, C, B. We call the transformations (3.9) with parameter � which led to the G(1)- invariance of S(1) and integrand of Z1|(0) by N = 1 antiBRST symmetry transformations in M(to3t).
+
+It was shown the Grassmann-odd parameters: G(3)-triplet p and G(1)-singlet �, of G(3) and G(1)

For any  classical action and the functionals Sgf(4), Sgh(4) lead to the same contribution into one-loop effective action as those for the known and above quantum actions
+
+constructed according to the N = 1, N = 2 and both N = 3 BRST symmetry recipes. It was explicitly
+
+shown on the level of the non-renormalized path integrals the equivalence among N = 3 BRST invariant
+
+path integral evaluated in the R-like gauges and usual N = 1 BRST invariant path integral in the R
+
+-gauges in (2.94). For N = 4 BRST invariant path integral its equivalence with N = 1 BRST invariant
+
+path integral was found in case of Landau gauge in (4.13).
+
+For both N = 3 and N = 4 BRST invariant formulations of the quantum actions the generating functionals of Greens functions, including effective actions were determined and Ward identities (2.91), (4.14) for them, which follow from the respective algebraic N = m, m = 3, 4 BRST invariance, were derived as well as the independence on the choice of the gauge condition for the respective path integral under the corresponding small variation of the gauge: (3)  (3) + (3) and Y(4)  Y(4) + Y(4) were established by means of infinitesimal FD N = m BRST transformations.

+
+The finite N = 3 and N = 4 BRST transformations were restored to form respectively the Abelian supergroups G(m) = exp{-s pp}, p = 1, 2, ..., m acting on the respective configuration space M(tomt) by means of two ways: first, by continuation of the invariance of any regular functional under algebraic
+
+N = m, m = 3, 4 BRST transformations to full invariance under finite transformations, second by means of resolution of the Lie equations. The sets G~(m) (5.4), (5.22) of finite FD N = m BRST transfor-
+
+mations were introduced and the respective Jacobians of the change of variables in M(tomt) generated by

+these transformations were calculated in (5.5), (5.23). For functionally-dependent Grassman-odd parame-

+
+integral, Z3|(3) (0) = Z3|(3)+(3) (0), Z4|Y (0) = Z4|Y +Y  (0), from the solutions of the corresponding compensation equations (6.2), (6.21) relating the parameters ^p1 with respective change of the gauge condition (3), Y(4) in (6.4) and (6.23). Second, they were used to derive new modified Ward identities

+(6.8), (6.26) for the generating functionals of Green functions Z3|(3) (J(3)), Z4|Y(4) (J(4)) depending on the functionally-dependent FD parameters ^p1 , p1 = 1, 2.., m, and therefore on the finite variation of the
+gauge (3), Y(4) respectively. Third, they have permitted to establish gauge independence of Z3|(3) (J(3)), Z4|Y(4) (J(4)) upon the respective choice of the gauge condition (3)  (3) + (3) and Y(4)  Y(4) + Y(4)
+
+on the corresponding mass-shell: J(3) = 0, J(4) = 0.
+
+The new Ward identities (6.19) for the extended (by means of sources Kp, Kpq, K to the N = 3 BRST variations (3)-s p, (3)-s p-s q, and (3)(-s )3) generating functional of vertex Green's functions,  (3) , Kp, Kpq, K (6.17) obtained from the part of extended N = 3 BRST transformations (6.12) in the space of (3), Kp, Kpq, K for constant p, reproduced the new differential-geometric objects. i.e., G(3)-triplets of antibrackets: (�, �)p and odd-valued first-order differential operators V p (6.20).

+The gauge-independent Gribov-Zwanziger model of Yang�Mills fields without residual Gribov ambiguity in the infrared region of the field A� configurations described by gauge-invariant, and therefore N = m BRST invariant, for m = 3, 4, horizon functional H(Ah) (6.29) in terms of gauge-invariant transverse fields Ah� (6.28) [43], firstly proposed in [37] within N = 1 BRST symmetry realization but with non-local BRST transformations was suggested in non-local form but with local N = 3, N = 4 BRST
+invariance by the Eqs. (6.32), (6.33). The partially local, (in view of residual presence of non-local vector field Ah�) Gribov-Zwanziger model was proposed with non-local N = 1 BRST symmetry (2.7), (6.36), due to inverse gauge-invariant Faddeev-Popov matrix M -1 (Ah) presence for auxiliary fields in (6.36).
+
+The extension of the basics for the diagrammatic Feynman technique within perturbation theory for the N = 3 and N = 4 BRST invariant quantum actions for the Yang�Mills theory were proposed due to the presence of additional both Grassmann-odd and Geassmann-even fictitious fields.
+
+Concluding, let us present the spectrum of irreducible representations for a G(l) Abelian superalgebra
+
+with l = 0 (non-gauge theories), l = 1 (BRST symmetry algebra), l = 2 (BRST-antiBRST symmetry
+
+algebra), l = 3 (superalgebra with 3 BRST symmetries), and so on according to the chain (2.41)�
+
+(2.43), by a numeric pyramid partially similar to the Pascal triangle (1), which contains in its left-
+
+hand side the symbol "d|A" relating to number of degrees of freedom of the classical Yang�Mills fields
+
+A� with suppressed su(N^ ) indices: where an l-th row, corresponding to the field content (l) of an

Notice, that the second left-hand side only contains the numbers 1, 2, 3, ..., 2K of Grassmann-odd fictitious fields, C, Cp2 , Cp3 , ..., Cp2K ; the third left-hand side (starting from N = 2) only contains the numbers 1, 3, 6, ..., C22K of Grassmann-even fictitious fields B, Bp3q3 , Bp4q4 , ..., Bp2Kq2K , etc. The final right-hand side of the triangle (1) is composed
+of the Nakanishi�Lautrup G(l)-singlet fields B  B2, B3  B, B4, ..., Bl, with alternating Grassmann parity, (Bl) = l, respectively for l = 2, 3, ..., 2K.
+In turn, for the reducible representation space of G(2K - 1)-superalgebra, for integer K determining the non-minimal sector of fields to be necessary to provide gauge-fixing procedure without odd supermatrix, the spectrum of additional fields is described by the Table 2 corresponding to the exact sequence (2.71). In particular, from Table 1 it follows that, for odd numbers N = 2K - 1 of parameters in the G(N ) superalgebra, the generalized Faddeev�Popov rules must be described by odd non-degenerate transformation, , intended to present the path integral with the Grassmann-even Nakanishi�Lautrup field B(2K-1) = B2k-1 exponentiating the standard gauge condition, added to the classical action using an N = (2K - 1) BRST-exact form.
+It follows from the both Tables that the generalization of the Faddeev-Popov quantizations for the case of N = 2K - 1 BRST invariance without using of an odd non-degenerate transformation, when formulating the local quantum action and path integral leads to the dimension of the total configuration space M(to2tK-1) to coinciding with the one for Mt(o2tK) realizing N = 2K BRST symmetry for the same purpose.
+There are various directions to extend the results of the present study. Let us mention some of them. First, to develop the case of N = 3, 4 BRST symmetries transformations in a Yang-Mills theory as a dynamical system with first-class constraints in the generalized canonical formalism [49], [50], [51]. Second: to develop the case of N = 3, 4 BRST symmetry transformations for irreducible general gauge theories in Lagrangian formalism [44], including theories with a closed algebra of rank 1. Third: to generalize, in a manifest way, the Faddeev�Popov rules in Yang�Mills theories to the case of N = 2K - 1 and N = 2K, K > 2 BRST symmetry transformations in Lagrangian formalism and in generalized canonical formalism. Then, it is intended to examine the case of irreducible dynamical systems subject

Next, it is planned to consider an irreducible general gauge theory subject to N = 2K - 1, N = 2K K > 2 BRST symmetry transformations in the Lagrangian formalism. The problem of study of the renormalizability for the suggested N = 3, 4 BRST invariant formulations of the quantum actions so as to have completely renormalized respective effective actions remains a very important question, as well as adopting of the N = m, m = 2, 3, 4 BRST invariance to the renormalizability of N = 1 space-time super Yang�Mills theory in terms of N = 1 superfields considered for N = 1 BRST symmetry in [53], [54] on the basis of preserving the gaugeinvariance, and, hence, the N = m BRST symmetry, regularization by higher-derivatives [55], recently developed for N = 2 superfield formulation of Abelian and super Yang�Mills theories [56] on a basis of N = 2 harmonic superspace approach [57]. We intend to study these problems in forthcoming works.

+A On N = 3 BRST invariant gauge-fixing in N = 3 irreducible superspace
+
+Here, we will prove that it is impossible to perform N = 3 BRST invariant gauge-fixing procedure within the set of fields A(33) parameterizing the superspace of irreducible representation of G(3)-superalgebra without using of non-degenerate odd-valued change of variables among the components of (3) to explicitly
+construct such a gauge-fixing.
+
+Indeed, it is easy to see that in the basis of additional to A� fields in A(33) = (A�, Cp, Bpq, B) composing the irreducible representation space of G(3)-superalgebra, on which due to Lemma 1 the N = 3 SUSY
+
+transformations is realized (2.45), there are no enough coordinates to reach a non-local Faddeev�Popov

+where F (A) may be interpreted as a Grassmann-odd analog of gauge conditions (2.6), (2.15) used in the N = 1, 2 BRST symmetry realizations for the quantum action, and therefore M F (A, x; y) should be
+considered as a Grassmann-odd analog of the Faddeev�Popov matrix (1.4).
+
+A.1 Non-degenerate odd-valued change of fictitious fields
+
+To provide a satisfactory description, we must deal neither with the appearance in Z0L of the -function (F ) from odd-valued functions, nor with the superdeterminant sdetM F (A) from an odd-valued matrix
+
+M F (A)10, we may pass to another basis of auxiliary fields, (3), in the representation space M(3) of the N = 3 superalgebra G(3) with the same number of Grassmann-odd and Grassmann-even fields. To
+
+this end, we introduce a non-degenerate transformation in M(3): (3)  (3) = (3), with unaffected Yang�Mills fields A�, ghost fields C1, C3, bosonic fields B13, and to be transformed fictitious fields M =
+(B23, B12, C2, B), by introducing a Grassmann-odd non-degenerate matrix N = NMN (analogous to the odd supermatrix  = AB = (A, B) , () = 1, resulting from the odd Poisson bracket, (�, �), calculations with respect to the field-antifield variables A in the field-antifield formalism [44], [45]), composed from the unit matrices 1(N^2-1) with suppressed su(N^ )-indices, as follows:
+
+ B2
+
+ 0
+
+0
+
+ 0   B23 
+
+M  M = N MN N :
+
+
+
+B C1

+
+ 
+
+B12 C2
+
+ ,
+
+C3
+
+00 0
+
+B
+
+(A.8)
+
+with the odd non-degenerate supermatrix , which turns the only fields of definite parity into new fields with the same properties but with opposite parity:  B23, B12, C2, B = C1, C3, B2, B , so that by definition, the property to be idempotent for  holds: 2 = 1. Notice that the separation of the (un)transformed fields in (3) is not unique for unaffected A�. Note, that in the usual sense [11], [58] sdetN = 0.
+The supermatrix N plays the role of an inverse for itself, which make it possible to express the initial fictitious fields N from (A.8) as functions of new fictitious fields N :
+
+M = N MN N , (N ) = 1, because of N 2 = 14(N^2-1).
+
+(A.9)
+
+10If one attempts to exponentiate the non-local path integral (2.31) over M(3) = {A(33)} in the basis of, first, the auxiliary
+fields {Cp, Bpq , B} by means of the one Lie-group G-valued field B12 from the triplet of Grassmann-even fields Bpq , to exponentiate (), second, the pair, C1, C2 from the triplet of Grassmann-odd fields Cp, to exponentiate det M , third, the
+pair B13, B23 from Grassmann-even fields Bpq , and the remaining pair of Grassmann-odd fields, C3, B, to exponentiate, respectively, det-1M and detM , we get:
+
+Z0L =
+
+dA() det2M (A) det-1M (A) exp
+
+i �h S0(A)
+
+=
+
+i d(3) exp �h SL((3)) ,
+
+for SL((3)) = S0(A) + ddx tr (A)B12 + C1M (A)C2 + B23M (A)B13 + C3M (A)B .
+
+However, to provide N = 3 BRST invariance of the local action SL((3)) for Yang�Mills theory one must impose additional requirement: B12 = 0, being rather restrictive one.
+
+42
+
+A.2 N = 3 BRST-invariance and path integral in new fictitious fields
+
+The following step is based on a definition of the gauge fermion F(3)0(A) with help of the odd matrix  in quadratic form consistent for the Landau gauge:
+
+F(L3)0(A)
+
+=
+
+-
+
+1 2
+
+ddx tr
+
+A�A�
+
+=
+
+-
+
+1 2
+
+ddx A�mmnAn�, for (F(L3)0) = 1.
+
+(A.10)
+
+Because the map  acts linearly, turning the points (with coordinates) in a fiber of the respective bundle
+into the same points (with coordinates) in a fiber of another bundle, but with opposite parity, then the respective infinitesimal gauge for A� and N (3) SUSY transformations for A(33) make by natural the properties:
+
+A� = (A�)  A� = (A�) = D�(A)Cpp, � = �, D�(A)Cp = D�(A)Cp   A, Cp = A, Cp ,
+
+(A.11) (A.12)
+
+where the last relation maybe considered as the continuation of the commutativity property of  with partial derivative �.
+Now, we can write the path integral related to (2.31) in a local form, (2.33) for k = 1 with the action SF(L3)0 (A.5), fermionic functional F(L3)0, in terms of a new basis of {A(33)} for the representation space of the G(3) superalgebra, as follows:

+
+43
+
+Note, first, the terms proportional to the (A) in (A.18) maybe easily elaborated by the rule
+
+tr (A) B = mnn(A)Bm = n(A)mnBm = tr (A)B, tr (A) Bpq, Cr = tr (A) Bpq, Cr ,
+
+(A.19) (A.20)
+
+by virtue of the properties (A.11), (A.12). Second, the quadratic in the fictitious fields with Faddeev� Popov matrix summands, we can present due to the same properties as follows:
+tr M(A)Cq Bpr = tr BprM(A)Cq = tr BprM(A)Cq = tr (Bpr)M(A)Cq. (A.21)
+
+Expressing the fields M in terms of M , according to the change of variables (A.8) in M(3), we get for the action SF(L3)0 (A.13)�(A.15) with use of (A.19)�(A.21) and with use of dual field B2 = -B13 = 132B13:
+

+(A.22)
+
+Here, the role of Faddeev�Popov ghosts is a mixed one, in comparison with the initial basis of fictitious fields Cp, Bpq, B. For example, in the first row of (A.22) for the fields C, C, used within the original Faddeev�Popov quantization as ghost and antighost fields, we have, respectively, C1, B23 and C3, B12.
+
+Therefore, as far as the last condition in (A.12) holds true, the functional SF(L3)0  , with the gauge functional (A.10) which determines the path integral ZF(L3)0 (A.13) in the Landau gauge with a local quantum action solving the problem of generalization of the Faddeev�Popov rules in the case of the
+irreducible representation N = 3-parametric G(3) superalgebra.
+
+The latter local action (as well as the measure d(3)) corresponding to the Landau gauge is invariant under N = 3 (therefore called as N = 3 BRST) transformations, which, at the algebraic level in a new basis of fields, A(33), are written with allowance for (2.45), (A.8), (A.9), as follows:

+Thus, we see, that the preservation of the explicit N = 3 BRST symmetry for the quantum action S(L3)((3)) in the space of G(3)-irreducible representation M(3) requires the introduction of odd nondegenerate supermatrix N with destroying of G(3)-covariance of the fields (3) to get local path integral (A.13) with N = 3 BRST invariance (A.23)-(A.28).
+This fact proves the validity condition (2.38) of the Statement 1 concerning gauge-fixing procedure for odd N .

+
+In this Appendix, we present the details of calculations used in Section 4 to find N = 4 BRST invariant
+quantum action (4.7)�(4.10) and establish a correspondence between the gauge-fixing procedures in the
+Yang�Mills theory described by a gauge-fixing function (A, B) = 0 from the class of R-gauges in N = 1 BRST formulation and by a gauge-fixing functional Y(04) in the suggested N = 4 BRST quantization.
+
+To calculate SY(4) (4) we have used the results of applications (2.82)�(2.86), (2.87), (2.88), (3.3) adapted for N = 4 case, as well as the property (4.11) for differentiation of the product and commutator of any two functions by products of the generators -s p up to 4-th order.

+The plan of the paper is as follows. We quickly review the low energy excitations in some relevant phases of quark matter in Sec. II to compare and contrast with the FF phase. In Sec. III we set up the problem. The basic formalism is the multi-component Boltzmann transport equation (Sec. III A) which we solve in the relaxation time approximation. We describe the low energy modes (Secs. III B, III C) and their interactions (Sec. III D). We also clarify the role played by phonons in Sec. III E. In Sec. IV we show results for isotropic pairing. In Sec. V we show results for the FF phase. We summarize the results and speculate about some implications for neutron star phenomenology in Sec. VI. A quick review of the gapless fermionic modes in FF phases (Appendix A) and the details about the numerical implementation of the collision integrals (Appendix B) are given in the Appendix.
+
+II. REVIEW
+
+We now review some proposed phases of quark matter in neutron stars. We discuss the excitation spectra and the interactions between the quasi-particles in the phases and this will help us in identifying the ingredients required in setting up the Boltzmann transport equation for the crystalline phase. Experts in the field can skip to the end of the section and start from Sec. III A.
+In the absence of attractive interactions, fermions at a finite chemical potential � and a temperature much smaller than � are expected to form a Fermi gas, filling up energy levels up to the Fermi sphere.
+For massless weakly coupled quarks in the absence of pairing, the excitation spectrum is simply
+
+E = || = ||p| - �|
+
+(2)
+
+where  = |p| - � is the radial displacement of the mo-
+
+4
+
+mentum vector from the Fermi surface. The excitations at the Fermi surface (defined by  = 0) are gapless, can be excited thermally, and therefore fermions near the Fermi surface are very efficient at transporting momentum and charge. They exhibit "fast" neutrino cooling and sufficiently large viscosities to damp r-modes.
+The interactions between the quarks are mediated by gluons (eight gluons corresponding to the generators t1, . . . t8 1) and the photon. In the absence of pairing, the longitudinal components of these mediators are Debye screened [41]. The transverse components of the mediators (magnetic components) are unscreened in the presence of static fluctuations of the current, and are only dynamically screened (Landau damping). Consequently, they have a longer range compared to the longitudinal gauge bosons and dominate scattering in relativistic systems [42].
+Pairing, induced by the attractive color interaction between the quarks, qualitatively affects the transport properties of quark matter.
+At asymptotically high densities (corresponding to a quark number chemical potential � sufficiently larger than the strange quark mass), the strange quark mass can be ignored, and the lagrangian is symmetric under SU(3) transformations between the up (u or 1), down (d or 2) and (s or 3) quarks. They can all be treated as massless and form Cooper pairs in a pattern that locks the color and flavor symmetries (CFL phase) [49]

+
+s, s are the Weyl spinor indices, f are flavor indices that run from 1 to 3. c, c are color labels that run over 1 (colloquially red or r), 2 (green or g), and 3 (blue or b). The left handed quarks (L) and the right handed quarks (R) pair among themselves and can be treated independently. The condensate is translationally invariant, which corresponds to pairing between quarks of opposite momenta.
+The SU(3) color symmetries and the global SU(3)L and SU(3)R flavor symmetries are broken by the condensate to a global subgroup consisting of simultaneous color and flavor transformations,
+
+SU(3)c � SU(3)L � SU(3)R � U(1)B  SU(3)c+L+RZ2 . (4)
+
+A diagonal subgroup of the SU(3)L � SU(3)R is weakly gauged by the electric charge Qe, where Qe is a diagonal
+matrix in the flavor space with entries equalling the elec-
+tric charges of the u, d and s quarks, and a linear combination of the t8 and Q (known as Q~) is unbroken [49, 65].
+
+1We use the standard notation for the Gell-Mann matrices [69] as the generators of the color SU(3).
+
+The fermionic excitations are 9 Bogoliubov quasiparticles [49] (for each hand) which are all gapped. In the NJL model [70], the condensate  is related to the gap in the excitation spectrum, 0CFL as follows [49],
+
+0CFL =  ,
+
+(5)
+
+where  is a measure of the interaction strength between quarks (the condensate , as well as 0CFL depend on �, but we are not explicitly writing the dependence here.)
+Using the BCS theory one can show that eight fermionic quasi-particles in the CFL phase have excitation energies [71�73]
+
+E = 2 + 20CFL
+
+(6)
+
+and another branch of quasi-particles have (approximately) the spectrum of excitation
+
+E = 2 + 420CFL .
+
+(7)
+
+0CFL is expected to be of the order of a few 10s of MeV while the temperatures of the neutron stars of interest is at most a few keV, and therefore the quarks do not participate in transport.
+Pairing also qualitatively modifies the propagation of the gauge fields. The Debye screening of the longitudinal gauge bosons is proportional to the susceptibility of the free energy to changes in the color gauge potential and therefore is largely unaffected if (0CFL/�)2 1 (as we shall assume). But pairing generates a Meissner mass for the transverse gluons. In the limit e  0 all the eight gluons have equal Meissner masses. Turning on the weak electromagnetic interaction, (e g where g is the strong coupling) [49, 73, 74] leads to a mixing between the transverse gauge fields and a linear combination of the gauge fields associated with the Q~ charge does not develop a Meissner mass while the orthogonal combination has a Meissner mass approximately equal to that of the other gluons.
+Since the fermions are all gapped, the low energy theory consists of the Goldstone modes ("phonons") associated with the broken global symmetries [49, 75�81]. While the phonon viscosity [50] formally diverges at small T , what this really means is that the hydrodynamic approximation breaks down at a temperature small enough that mean free path becomes equal to the size of the neutron star (or vortex separation [51]). Flow on smaller length scales is dissipationless, and the r-modes can not be efficiently damped at very small temperatures. The conclusion from the discussion of the unpaired and the CFL phase of quark matter is that the phenomenology of r-mode damping suggests that phases featuring gapless fermionic excitations might be consistent with the data.
+Even at the highest densities expected in neutron stars [4], the strange quark mass can not be ignored. The finite strange quark mass stresses [82] the cross species pairing (Eq. 3) in the CFL phase.
+
+5
+
+To understand the origin of this stress, note that in the absence of pairing, the Fermi surfaces of the quarks in neutral quark matter in weak equilibrium Refs. [54, 71] are given [83] by

+
+(9)
+
+On the other hand pairing between fermions of oppo-
+site momenta (Eq. 3) is strongest if the pairing species
+have equal Fermi momenta. This argument suggests that
+when pF  0CFL, the symmetric pairing pattern in Eq. 3 may get disrupted. A detailed analysis [84] bears out this intuition. For m2s/� > 20CFL, a condensate with unequal pairing strengths between various species has a lower free energy than the condensate in Eq. 3 2.
+
+cfsL(r)c f s L(r) = I Icc Iff ss .
+I
+
+(10)
+
+The pairing between the s and the d quarks is the weakest because the splitting between their Fermi surfaces is the largest (Eq.8). The s and the u pairing is also reduced, while the u - d pairing is not significantly affected [84].
+The resultant phase has a remarkable property that certain fermionic excitations are gapless [72]. To see how this behavior arises, note that if two fermions i and j with a chemical potential difference |�i - �j| = 2�, form Cooper pairs with a gap parameter  ( =  is not the gap in the excitation spectrum for finite �), the Bogoliubov quasi-particles have eigen-energies
+
+E� = � � 2 + 2 .
+

+
+For  < �, the set of gapless fermions lie on the surface
+
+|| = � �2 - 2 .
+
+(12)
+
+The gapless CFL phase was found to be unstable in Refs. [95�97]. The Meissner mass squared of some of the gluons is negative in this phase. (This chromomagnetic instability was found earlier in the 2SC phase [98, 99] that we discuss below.) This instability can be seen as an instability towards the formation of a position dependent condensate [100, 101], which bear resemblance to the LOFF (Larkin, Ovcinnikov, Fulde, Ferrell)
+
+2Other ways by which the CFL phase can respond to the stress on pairing include the formation of K0 condensates (CFL - K0) [85�89] and K0 condensates with a current (currCFL - K0) [88, 90�92]. The bulk viscosity in the CFL - K0 phase was
+calculated in Refs. [93, 94]. In the absence of additional damping mechanisms, the viscosity of CFL - K0 appears to be insufficient
+to damp r-modes [52].
+
+phases [61, 102] previously considered in condensed matter systems. (It has been argued in Refs. [103, 104] that the chromomagnetic instability might instead lead to a condensation of gluons, a possibility we won't explore further here.) We review the LOFF phases in Sec. II A, and the possibility that LOFF phases are the ground state of baryonic matter in the cores of neutron stars motivates the analysis of transport in FF phases, which is the prime objective of present manuscript.
+Restricting, for the moment, to spatially homogeneous and isotropic condensates, another possibility that has been considered in detail in the literature [62, 63] is one where the stress due to the s quark mass lead to the s quarks dropping out from pairing. The u and d quarks form a two-flavor, two color condensate (2SC pairing)
+
+cf sc f s = 3 3cc 3f f ss .
+
+(13)
+
+The u-b, the d-b are also unpaired, while the ur quarks pair with the dg quarks and the ug with the dr.
+Taking, for the moment, equal u and d Fermi surfaces, 2SC pairing (Eq. 13) leaves a SU(2) sub group of color unbroken. The symmetry breaking pattern is
+
+SU(3)c � SU(2)L � SU(2)R � U(1)B 
+
+(14)
+
+SU(2)(r-g) � SU(2)L�SU(2)R � U(1)B~ ,
+
+Since the SU(2) transformations associated with r - g quarks are unbroken, the t1, t2, t3 gluons do not pick up
+a Meissner mass [65, 66]. As we shall see, because of this, the t1, t2, t3 gluons play a special role in the two-flavor
+FF phase that we consider.
+If the strange quark mass is large enough that their
+contribution to the thermodynamics can be ignored, the longitudinal components of the t1, t2, t3 gluons remain
+un-screened [66, 68]. This can be intuitively understood
+as follows. Debye screening (at low T ) requires the pres-
+ence of ungapped excitations (here ungapped fermions)
+that can couple with the relevant gauge field. Here, the
+r and g quarks of both u and d quarks are gapped (with
+a gap 2SC0) due to pairing. Furthermore, the condensate is also neutral under the t1, t2, t3 gluons. Therefore, both longitudinal and transverse gluons t1, t2, t3
+can mediate long range interactions between quarks, and
+give rise to confinement on an energy scale much smaller
+than QCD [67]. The color transformations corresponding to the t4 . . . t7 generators and the associated trans-
+verse gauge fields do develop a Meissner mass. The longitudinal components of the t4 . . . t7 gauge fields are Debye screened [66, 68]. Similarly, the t8 gluons feature
+Meissner and Debye screening [66, 68]. As in the case
+of the CFL phase, the transverse components of a linear combination of t8 and Q gauge bosons (Q~ photon) have
+0 Meissner mass. Electrical neutrality is maintained by
+electrons. Finally, since no global symmetries are broken
+by the condensate, there are no Goldstone modes.
+The low energy dynamics are therefore dominated by
+the unpaired u - b and d - b quarks interacting predominantly via the Q~ photon and the electrons interacting via
+
+6

+the photons. Transport in this phase has been analyzed in detail in Ref. [64]. The bulk viscosity for the 2SC phase was computed in Ref. [105]. Since the b quarks are unpaired, the transport properties in this mode are similar to that in unpaired quark matter and hence we expect that viscosities should be large enough to damp r-mode instabilities if a large volume of 2SC matter is present in the cores of neutron stars.
+For weak and intermediate coupling strengths [106, 107], the 2SC phase has a smaller free energy compared to the CFL phase and unpaired quark matter, only for temperatures larger than a few MeV [106�109]. For large couplings [106, 107] however, it is favoured over the CFL and the unpaired phase over a range of chemical potentials expected to be present in some region in the cores of neutron stars (350 to 400MeV) and the occurrence of a 2SC phase may provide a plausible mechanism for the damping of r-modes. It is however worth exploring other compelling possibilities, viable in particular for intermediate and weak coupling.
+As in the case of three-flavor pairing, the requirements of neutrality and weak equilibrium tend to split the u - d Fermi surfaces [110] and impose a stress on pairing. For large enough stress (�  2SC0), the u and d quarks that participate in pairing exhibit gapless excitations as suggested by Eqs. 12 and 13 [110, 111].
+The low energy theory of the gapless 2SC phase features the unpaired b quarks near the Fermi surface, as well as Bogoliubov quasi-particles (linear combinations of ur - dg - ug - dr quarks and holes) near the gapless spheres (Eq. 12). The gapless quasi-particles interact via the t1, t2, t3, and t8 gluons and the photon with each other. They can also exchange t4 . . . t7 gluons to change to b quarks. In terms of the participants in the low energy theory, this phase resembles the two-flavor FF phase that we shall study in detail in the paper.
+The transverse t1, t2, t3 gluons remain massless since the SU(2)c(r-g) is unbroken in the gapless phase. (The global SU(2)L � SU(2)R in Eq. 14 are no longer relevant because it is broken by �.) The presence of gapless excitations generates a Debye screening mass [98, 99] for the longitudinal modes of all the gauge fields.
+However, like three-flavor pairing, the 2SC phase with gapless Bogoliubov excitations is unstable [98] since the Meissner mass squared of a linear combination of photon and the t8 gluon (orthogonal to the Q~ photon) becomes negative for � > 2SC0. In addition, the mass squared of t4, t5, t6, and the t7 gluons become negative for � > 2SC0/ 2 [98]. As in three-flavor case, this instability can be seen as an instability towards the formation for a LOFF phase.
+Finally, it is possible that the stress due to � disrupts the inter species pairing altogether and leads to the formation of Cooper pairs of a single flavor [112�115]. If the pairing is weaker than keV scale, then for hotter neutron stars it will be irrelevant and results found for unpaired quark matter shall apply. For stronger pairing, only few transport properties of these single flavor states
+
+have been studied (see Ref. [116] for the calculation of neutrino emissivity and Ref. [117] for electronic properties.) and it will be interesting to calculate their viscosities. Some of the phases feature gapless fermionic modes and would be expected to behave similarly to unpaired quark matter, though more detailed analyses would be interesting.
+The two points we want to take away from this brief review are (a) the analyses of r-mode damping suggest that if a quark matter core damps the r-modes, then it features gapless fermionic excitations (b) at neutron star densities for a range of parameters, uniform and isotropic pairing phases are unstable towards the formation of a position dependent condensate. We now review the salient features of phases with such pairing.
+
+A. LOFF phase
+
+A natural candidate for a position dependent pairing condensate is the LOFF phase which was proposed as the plausible ground state for stressed quark matter [54, 118] before the discovery of the chromomagnetic instabilities. The motivation for this proposal is that a condensate of the form,
+
+i(r)j (r) = e2ib�r ,
+
+(15)
+
+allows pairing along rings on split Fermi surfaces for b = |b| > � [54] 3 (b, � and  are all taken to be much smaller than �). b defines the wave-vector for the periodic variation of the condensate.
+In the NJL model, the phase with condensate Eq. 15 is preferred over unpaired matter as well as the space independent condensate for �  [0.7070, 0.7540] [54]. At the upper end, the transition from the crystalline phase to the normal phase is second order as we increase �, and   0 smoothly as �  0.7540 from the left. The crystalline phase is favoured over normal matter for � < 0.7540, where 0 is the two-flavor gap for � = 0. The most favoured momentum b near � = 0.7540 is
+
+b = � ,
+
+(16)
+
+with   1.1996786... [61, 83, 102, 119, 120]. (This number is conventionally called  in the literature but in this manuscript we give it a different symbol to avoid confusion with the viscosity .) The homogeneous phase with pairing parameter 0 is favoured for � < 0.707. (For single gluon exchange the window of favorability is larger [121].)
+
+3The real number b refers to |b| which is different from the "blue" colored quark. b as an index in the set {a, b, c, d} refers to the branch of the dispersion as we discuss below. We apologize for the degeneracy in notation but the contexts are quite different and hence unlikely to cause confusion.
+
+7
+
+Intuitively one expects [119] that condensates featuring multiple plane waves
+
+i(r)j (r) =  e2ibm�r ,
+m
+
+(17)
+
+can pair quarks along multiple rings and give a stronger Free energy benefit as long at the pairing rings do not overlap. The set of plane waves {bm} define a crystal structure. A detailed calculation [119] till the 6th order in the pairing parameter in the Ginsburg-Landau approximation confirms this. A more recent sophisticated numerical analyses reveals [58] that higher order terms are important for determining the favoured crystal structure, and may predict different favoured crystal structures than what the Ginsburg-Landau analysis predicts.
+For the three-flavor problem, the form of the LOFF condensate [56, 120, 122] is
+
+cfs(r)c f s (r) =
+
+I e2iqm�r Icc If f ss .
+
+I {qm}I
+
+(18)
+
+Within the Ginzburg-Landau approximation [56], condensates of the form Eq. 18 for two crystalline phases have a lower free energy than unpaired quark matter as well as homogeneous pairing phases over a wide range of parameters of �,  and ms that are expected to exist in neutron star cores [57].
+Therefore it is natural to evaluate its transport properties and test whether they are consistent with existing and future observations. As mentioned above, neutrino emissivity for a three-flavor LOFF phase with the simplest three flavor crystal structure were computed in Ref. [59].
+In this paper we take the first step in the calculation of the shear viscosity in crystalline color superconductors. To simplify the calculations we ignore the s quarks completely and consider phases with a single plane wave condensate,
+
+cfs(r)c f s (r) = 3e2ib�r 3cc 3ff ss ,
+
+(19)
+
+which corresponds to taking 1 = 2 = 0 in Eq. 18, as well as limiting the set of momentum vectors {bm}3 to just one vector b. This is also known as the Fulde-Ferrel
+(FF) state.
+Eq. 19 models FF pairing between u and d quarks
+with Fermi surfaces split by 2� = �d - �u [which can be thought of as the measure of the strange quark mass �  m2s/(4�) [71] (Eq. 8) in 2SC + s [48] or the electron chemical potential �  �e/2 [110] in the 2SC phase without s quarks]. This simplifies the calculations signifi-
+cantly since the dispersions of the fermions [54] in the FF
+state have a compact analytic form (Eq. 42). We shall
+see that even with these approximations, the calculation
+of the viscosity contributions of the ur - ug - dr - dg
+quarks is non-trivial because of pairing.
+
+Eq. 19 can be seen as denoting pairing between two Fermi surfaces with radii � � � and centres displaced by 2b. For b > �, the two Fermi surfaces intersect. For 3  0 (true near the second order phase transition between the inhomogeneous and unpaired phase), the pairing parameter is small and pairing can not occur when either the u or the d momentum state is unoccupied [54]. (See Appendix A for a quick reminder.) The boundary of these "pairing regions" feature gapless fermionic excitations. This suggests that the contributions of the paired ur - dg - ug - dr quarks is not very different from their contributions in unpaired quark matter.
+However, the shapes of the gapless "Fermi surfaces" in LOFF pairing is quite complicated, and their areas drop rapidly as 3 increases as we decrease � from 0.7540. Therefore, it is not clear how their contributions behave in the neutron star core. We answer this question in this paper. In the following section we develop the formalism to calculate shear viscosity coefficient in crystalline color superconducting phase.
+
+III. FORMALISM
+This section develops the theoretical aspect of calculation of transport coefficients in the LOFF phase. We start our discussion with Boltzmann equation in an anisotropic system.
+
+A. Boltzmann transport equation
+
+In a system of multiple species, the relaxation times i for the species i can be found by solving a matrix equation,
+
+L(in) = [Ri(jn)]j(n) ,
+j
+
+(20)
+
+where Li is related to the phase space of quasi-particles that participate in transport, and [Rij] is the collision integral. We have labelled the collisional integral with an additional index (n) associated with the tensor structure of the transport property we are considering.
+To be concrete, consider a situation where transport is dominated by fermionic particles and their interaction with each other provides the most important scattering mechanism. Following the notation of Ref. [64] the Boltzmann transport equation for each species i can be written

+(21)
+
+We shall consider phases with a condensate of the form
+
+cfs(r)c f s (r) = 3(r) 3cc 3ff ss .
+
+(29)
+
+where f is the Fermi-Dirac distribution function. M(12  34) refers to the transition matrix element for the scattering of the initial state featuring 1, 2 (defined by momenta p1, p2 and additional quantum numbers like spin, color and flavor) to the final state 2, 4. The sum over 2, 3, 4 runs over all the species that interact with i.
+The form of the flows  and  in Eq. 21, relevant for the calculation of the shear viscosity, are given by

+tensor into susbspaces, (n), invariant under the rotational symmetries of the system. n defined by
+
+(n) = (n)ab ab
+
+(24)
+
+are the dimensions of these subspaces. For example, in an isotropic system, the shear viscosity
+tensor should be invariant under all rotations, and the only projection operator is the traceless symmetric tensor
+
+We shall ignore the contribution of the s quarks which, if present (2SC+s phase [110]), are unpaired. Only ur -dg and ug-dr quark pairs participate in pairing. The ub and db (b color) quarks as well as the electrons are unpaired.
+Transport effected by the ub and the db quarks, as well as by the electrons in the homogeneous and isotropic 2SC phase has been studied in detail in Ref. [64]. Since they are unpaired, techniques from condensed matter theory for calculating the transport in Fermi liquids can be used to simplify the calculation, although there are new features associated with the fact that the quarks are relativistic [123] and due to the non-trivial color and flavor structure of the interaction [64].
+Here we want to focus on the effect of crystalline pairing on the quark transport. In the full three-flavor theory with 1, 2 = 0, the ub and db species as well as the strange quarks will participate in crystalline pairing (Eq. 18). Therefore we need to develop techniques to calculate fermionic transport properties in the presence of a crystalline order parameter. In this paper, we shall limit ourselves to the calculation of transport in the two-color two-flavor subsystem of ur -dg -ug -dr quarks. Even in this two-color, two-flavor subspace, the theory of transport is quite rich and we will learn valuable lessons that will help in future attempts to extend the calculations to the three-flavor problem.

+Now, with the two energy eigenstates Eq. 42 in hand, it is tempting to treat Eq. 21 as a two species problem in the eigenstates Eq. 38 and Eq. 39 which corresponds to an appropriate linear combination of u particles and d holes (Eq. 44).
+Since, u and d quarks have different couplings (which is the case for Q~ "photons") with the gauge fields, we treat it as a four species problem, labelling the species as
+
+a  E1,  < 0
+
+b  E1,  > 0
+
+(46)
+
+c  E2,  < 0
+
+d  E2,  > 0 .
+
+This labelling also clarifies the contributions to the shear viscosity from the various branches of the Bogoliubov dispersions (Fig.(1)).
+The matrix equation, Eq. 21, is now a 4 � 4 matrix equation which gives the four relaxation times i and the viscosities can be found by using Eq. 28.
+
+D. Interactions
+
+The interactions between the quarks are mediated by the gauge bosons: the gluons and the photon. The gluonquark vertex is
+
+Sg = (g) d4x��tmAm �
+
+(47)
+
+where g is the strong coupling constant, and the photonquark vertex is
+
+Se = (-e) d4x��QA�
+
+(48)
+
+where tm are the Gell-Mann matrices and Q = diag{2/3, -1/3} in flavor space.
+To contrast with the properties of the mediators in the FF phase, we revise the main features in the unpaired phase. Transport in the unpaired phase is dominated by the quarks and the electron. The mediators of their interactions have the following properties.
+
+The longitudinal components of the gluons as well as the photon are Debye screened. The relevant propagators for the gauge boson are
+
+-q2
+
+i -
+
+l(q)
+
+[q^iq^j ]ab
+
+(49)
+
+where (, q) = p�3 - p�1 = p�2 - p�4 is the four momentum carried by the gauge field, q2 = qiqi, q = |q|, and l 4 is longitudinal polarization tensor. We have neglected 2
+in the propagator. In the limit of small q,

+
+(52)
+
+Since the energy exchange, , is governed by the temper-
+
+ature, while the momentum exchange can be much larger
+
+(typically of the order of g�), the transverse gluons have
+
+a longer range compared to the longitudinal and there-
+
+fore their exchange is the dominant scattering mechanism
+
+for the quarks. Consequently, the momentum exchange
+
+q that dominates the collision integral for the transverse
+
+gauge bosons is  (T l(0))1/3 [123], while for the longitudinal gauge bosons it is  (l(0))1/2.
+

+
+We now consider the gauge bosons in the two-flavor
+
+FF phase. As far as the Debye screening masses are con-
+
+cerned, these are determined by the total density of gap-
+
+less states. For gluons that couple with the species that
+
+participate in pairing, this density of states is affected by
+
+two competing effects.
+
+First, there is a geometric factor associated with a re-
+
+duction in size of the surface of gapless excitations [54]

+
+since the blocking region is absent for cos

+

+
+Second, the Fermi velocity on the surface of gapless
+
+excitations is reduced due to pairing. In spherical coor-
+

+
+(54)
+
+The reduction of the velocity enhances the density of states at the gapless point [124] for certain values of .
+Consequently, we expect that for the gluons

+
+where f is expected to be of order 1 [125]. Similar arguments hold for the photon.
+We leave a detailed analysis of screening of the longitudinal modes for future work. The two main points we want to emphasize are as follows. First the longitudinal t1, t2, t3 gluons are screened and hence unlike in the 2SC phase [67] the ur - dg - ug - dr quarks are not confined. Second, the longitudinal modes of all the mediators are screened and therefore can be ignored compared to the Landau damped transverse mediators while calculating the transport properties. The transverse screening masses for the gauge bosons in the two-flavor FF phase were analyzed in detail in Ref. [100, 126] and we summarize the main conclusions here.
+In contrast with unpaired phase, in the two-flavor FF phase, the Meissner masses for the t4 . . . t7 gluons are non-zero [100, 126, 127]. The FF condensate cures the instability seen in the gapless 2SC phase, and the squares of all the four Meissner masses are positive, and are functions of , �, �, and b.

+non-zero. The fate of the t8 and the photon is more interesting.
+As in the 2SC phase, the condensate is neutral under the linear combination associated with the Q~ charge which is unscreened. The Q~ photon is weakly coupled to the
+quarks and is less important than the unscreened glu-
+ons [46]. The orthogonal linear combination,
+
+AX� = cos A8� + sin AQ� ,

+
+with
+
+
+
+3g
+
+cos  =

+
+(58)
+
+e2 + 3g2
+
+is strongly coupled. Because b chooses a particular direction, the trans-
+verse polarization tensor is not invariant in the range of the transverse projection operator
+
+[ij - q^iq^j] .
+
+(59)
+
+Ref. [126] showed that a further projection by bibj (note that Ref. [126] uses q to denote what we call b and k to denote what we call q) gives a polarization tensor which vanishes in the 0 momentum limit (the "longitudinal transverse gluon"). The projection on to ij - bibj (the "transverse transverse gluon") has a finite Meissner mass.
+While the "longitudinal transverse" part of AX� is long ranged as well as strongly coupled, its contribution is smaller compared to the t1, t2, t3 gluons as we argue below (below Eq. 75). The transverse t1, t2, t3 gluons are massless as in the 2SC phase [125, 126]. What has not been appreciated in the literature is that they are Landau damped.
+To express the transverse polarization tensor in a compact form we choose an orthogonal basis for the range of Eq. 59 as follows.

+[] (Eq. 40) ensures that i1 = i3 and i2 = i4, and the nature of the Bologliubov particles doesn't change at the
+vertex. This can be traced to the residual SU(2) symmetry. The factor 1/(2p12p22p32p4) appears in |M|2 due to the convention of the phase space integrals in Eq. 21:
+the spinors us are normalized to be dimensionless. Eq. 75 can also be used to complete the argument that
+we made earlier about why the exchange of transverse AX is less important than the exchange of t1, t2, t3
+even though they have 0 Meissner mass. In matrix elements the exchange of AX comes with a coherence fac-
+tor (Eq. 99) where two terms of similar size cancel. This is because i31, i31, i12, and i12 in Eq. 99 are all roughly 1/ 2 for   0 and in Eq. 99 their products ap-
+pear with a - sign. On the other hand the coherence factors in Eq. 75 add for t1, t2, t3 gluons. Therefore we expect the numerical contribution from AX� to be smaller than the contribution from t1, t2, t3 gluons. (There is an
+additional reduction by a factor of  1/2 because the
+"transverse transverse gluon" is massive.) Therefore we neglect the scatterings mediated by AX� . This numerical suppression is not parametric and in a future, more com-
+plete calculation, these scatterings should be included. We note that AX� induces coupling between the b quarks and the paired quarks and complicates the Boltzmann
+equation Eq. 21 significantly.
+There are additional mediators of quark-quark inter-
+actions in the two-flavor FF phase. Phonons [129] asso-
+ciated with the periodicity of the condensate [130, 131],
+are derivatively coupled to the fermion fields.

+
+E. Contribution of phonons
+Phonons, the Goldstone modes associated with broken symmetries, are also low energy modes. Here we make a quick estimate of their contribution to transport and to the collision integral. They are not relevant in the FF phase but play an important role in gapped phases.

+
+7In non-relativistic systems [132], the magnetic gauge bosons do not contribute due to the small speeds and the exchange of phonons and the longitudinal gauge bosons comepete. For v 1, the phonon exchange is the dominant scattering mechanism. We thank Sanjay Reddy for his comment on this point.

This is simple to understand because the phase space for fermions near the Fermi surface is enhanced. We shall see in Sec. IV B 1 that this is not true for paired systems.
+
+2. Momentum transport via phonons
+If phonons are present in the low energy theory then they can also transport energy and momentum. While this is not the main topic of the paper, we make a quick estimate to see how this contribution compares with the fermionic contribution.
+
+In both the unpaired phase and in the FF phase,
+
+phonons can scatter off gapless fermionic excitations
+
+which have a large density of states near the Fermi
+
+surface. This effect is simply the Landau damping of

+
+IV. RESULTS FOR A SIMPLE INTERACTION FOR ISOTROPIC PAIRING
+
+As discussed in the previous section, pairing affects transport properties of fermions in two important ways. First, it modifies the dispersion relations of the fermions. Second, it changes the mediator interactions.
+To get some understanding of how the modification of the dispersion relations due to pairing affects transport (which is the dominant effect because of the exponential thermal factors in Eq. 21), we solve the Boltzmann equations with and without pairing for a simple system featuring two species of quarks 1 and 2 interacting via a single abelian gauge field A� which couples to the two species in the following manner

+LA

+
+(90)
+
+15
+
+where
+
+ = (1, 2)T .
+
+(91)
+
+Furthermore, we focus on scattering via longitudinal A�, which is not affected by pairing. We approximate the polarization tensor of the longitudinal mode of A� by the Debye screened mass which has the standard form as given in Eq.(50) with Nf = 1.
+The square of the matrix element averaged over initial spins and summed over the final spins [64] (after making some simplifying approximations) is given by

+
+The dispersions are given by Eq. 43 with b = 0,  = 0. Dropping the absolute sign in , E = � �  and we don't need to distinguish between the  > 0 and  < 0 modes. For convenience here we can put � = 0 and the two species can be treated as identical. (The corrections to the results are suppressed by �/�.)
+In this case the left hand side of Eq. 21 is simply given by the integral,

+(We will use the superscript "un" to denote the values of L, R,  and  for one unpaired species.)
+The right hand side of Eq. 21 can be obtained following Refs. [42, 64]. The interaction Eq. 90 does not change flavor, and hence the species index 3 is the same as i, and 2 the same as 4. There are two relevant integrals

+
+Typically the system described above will feature additional low energy modes. For example, to ensure the neutrality of the system a background of oppositely charged particles is necessary, and fluctuations in their
+
+16
+
+density is gapless. (A real world example is the electron "gas" in a lattice of ions.) Quarks can scatter off these "phonons". In Sec. III E 1 we made a quick estimate of how these processes affect quark transport and found that Riqj-ph  �T 4, which is parametrically smaller than Eq. 96. Therefore they can be ignored for unpaired quark matter. However, these scattering processes will turn out to be important in the next section.
+Finally, it is easy to see that the viscosity of unpaired quarks (Eq. 97) is much larger than that of phonons in the presence of unpaired fermions (Eq. 89).
+
+B. Paired fermions
+
+We now consider the effect of isotropic pairing on transport to get some intuition into the anisotropic problem. For b = 0, we can simplify the integrals Rij (Eq. 21) using rotational symmetry (Appendix B). In Sec. IV B 1 we take � = 0 and see how pairing affects the fermionic contribution to viscosity. In Sec. IV B 2 we take � = 0 and see how the gapless modes that arise when  < � contribute to transport. In the FF phase, the fermions at the boundary of the blocking regions are gapless and we expect to see that they share some features of the system considered in Sec. IV B 2.
+The scattering matrix element for Bogoliubov quasiparticles (following the steps used for obtaining Eq. 75) for an interaction of the form Eq. 90 is given by

+
+1. BCS pairing
+
+We first consider the standard BCS pairing with � = 0. The results are shown in Fig. 2. The top left panel shows Li i = a, b, c, d (Eq. 46). In this symmetric situation, Li are equal for all the species and are represented by four overlapping curves (red, green, blue and cyan online). Similarly, Rii (i not summed) are all equal. (This is shown on the top right panel. We don't show the cross terms.) Results for  (Eq. 20) and i (Eq. 28) are shown in the bottom left and right panel respectively.

+ T -- As  is increased, the participation of
+fermions in transport is thermally suppressed. Since Li
+
+involves single particle excitations, it is easy to see that
+
+Li()  Li( = 0)e-/T .
+
+(103)
+
+This is shown in Fig. 2 by the dot-dashed curve (yellow online). Similarly, since Ri involve two particle excitations, we expect that
+
+Rij ()  Rij ( = 0)e-2/T .
+
+(104)
+
+We see in Fig. 2 that this turns out to be true for /T larger than 4 and the suppression for /T 4 while present, is a little weaker. Consequently, one can quickly deduce that i()  i( = 0)e/T : the few thermally excited quarks rarely scatter with each other. The large relaxation time compensates for the small number of mo-
+
+18
+
+mentum carrying fermions and for /T 4 the viscosity converges back to the value for unpaired quark matter.
+This result is puzzling since we expect the paired fermions to be frozen at temperatures smaller than the pairing gap and hence not contribute to the viscosity. We expect only the low energy phonons to participate in transport at low energies [135].
+We argued in the previous section (Sec. IV A) that in the absence of pairing for T �, the contribution to the quark collision integral R from quark-phonon scattering (Eq. 96) is sub-dominant to the contribution from quark-quark scattering (Eq. 85). Pairing, however, affects these two contributions differently. Since quarkphonon scattering involves only one gapped mode, we expect the Rij(q-ph)()  Rij(q-ph)(0)e-/T rather than as in Eq. 104 and dominates scattering. Then i doesn't grow exponentially and i is exponentially suppressed.

+
+which is subdominant to the phonon contribution (Eq. 88, since we are assuming no other gapless fermions are present).
+This entire argument relies on the existence of a gapless mode in the low energy theory, but in most of the paired systems we know such a mode is present. If the symmetry broken by the fermion condensate is global or has a global component 9 then the pairing itself gives rise to a Goldstone mode which can scatter off fermions. If the symmetry broken by the condensate is local rather
+
+than global, then pairing does not by itself give rise to a phonon mode. For example in ordinary BCS superconductors the local U (1)  Z2 gives a mass to the transverse photons (the Meissner effect). However even in this case there is a Goldstone mode associated with the breaking of translational symmetry by the underlying lattice.
+10
+
+Therefore the common statement that the paired
+
+fermions don't contribute to transport at low temper-
+
+atures is generically true, but subtle. Things are cleaner
+
+if there are fermionic modes that are gapless, in which
+
+case they dominate transport when � T . This is the
+
+situation we shall explore next.
+
+In drawing Figs. 2 we have taken g = 1. Obtaining
+
+results for arbitrary g is simple. The top left panel (Li)

+doesn't depend on the collisions and square of the matrix element, |M|2,

+is not scales

+The l

+
+2. Isotropic gapless pairing
+
+To analyze the effect of gapless fermions in this simple system let us consider an isotropic gapless paired phase (b  0,  > �). As discussed in Sec. II, this phase is unstable, but the analyses will give us insight into the anisotropic calculation. In Fig. 3 we keep  > T fixed (/T = 2.5), and consider the effect of increasing � keeping b equal to 0.
+Based on the discussion in Sec. IV B 1, we expect that for  > � both Li and Rij to be exponentially suppressed from the unpaired value. Whereas for  < � (Eq. 42) E1 = 0 for  = � �2 - 2 and therefore the branches a and b in Eq. 46 are gapless while the branches c and d are gapped. Therefore, for � >  we expect Li, and Rij corresponding a and b to be unsuppressed compared to the unpaired value.

+
+9For the quark pairing the condensate breaks baryon number conservation. For cold atoms fermion number conservation is a global symmetry. In both these cases the dispersion of the resultant mode is vF / 3 and hence absorption of phonons by fermions is kinematically allowed.
+
+10The sound speed of the lattice phonons is much smaller than the Fermi speed of the fermions and fermion phonon scattering is kinematically allowed. However hypothetically one can consider a situation where this is not the case. Then the statement that gapped contributions do not contribute to transport will not hold. Since this is not germane to our paper we will not explore this further here.

+In light of the simple and intuitive result Eq. 112, the analysis of this section seems needlessly complicated: one could restrict to modes near the gapless spheres (mode a near  = - �2 - 2 and mode b near  =
++ �2 - 2) and neglect modes c and d. Near the gapless , the dispersion of the modes can be approximated as linear, which means that standard Fermi liquid techniques would lead to Eq. 112 for gapless fermions if � .
+While the discussion of the isotropic gapless phase clarifies some aspects of the calculation of the collision integrals for the FF phase, the details of the analysis is more subtle because the pairing pattern is anisotropic. In the following section we present the results for anisotropic pairing.
+
+V. RESULTS FOR ANISOTROPIC PAIRING
+
+From the dispersions Eq. 43, one can think of the problem in terms of an angle dependent Fermi surface splitting,
+
+�eff (cos ) = � + b cos  .
+
+(113)
+
+For � + b cos  > , species a and b are gapless, for  > � + b cos  > - all four modes are gapped, and for � + b cos  < - modes c and d are gapless (Eq. 43) [54, 83]. Therefore, the shape of the gapless
+
+surface depends on the values of � and the gap parameter  which is a function of �. Furthermore, even the nature of the gapless modes changes with the angle depending upon whether |�eff (cos )|  (in which case the dispersion near the gapless modes is linear and the mode velocity v  1) or |�eff (cos )|   (in which case the dispersion near the gapless modes is quadratic and the mode velocity v  0). Consequently, the results for the FF phase can not be obtained by a simple extension of the isotropic analysis and a detailed calculation of the collision integral is necessary. We perform this analysis for a simple model for quark interactions: exchange of Debye screened, longitudinal gluons described by Eqs. 79 90, in the next section (Sec. V A). In Sec. V B we show the analysis for the two-flavor FF phase with the realistic interaction: exchange of dynamically screened, transverse t1, t2, and t3 gauge bosons.
+A. Debye screened gluon exchange
+To evaluate the integrals Li and Rij appearing in Eq. 21 with the dispersions Eq. 43 for any given T and �, we need  and b as a function of �. For a given b and �,  can be found by solving the gap equation for the FF phase [120].
+We take the solution of the gap equation,  as a function of �, from Fig. 3 in Ref. [120]. The calculations in Ref. [120] were performed for three-flavor pairing with an FF pairing pattern for ud and sd pairing. When the angle  between the two plane waves is 0, the two pairing rings on the u interfere minimally and hence we use the corresponding solution to the gap equation (green curve in Fig. 3 in Ref. [120]), reproduced in Fig. 4.
+Near the second order phase transition at � < 0.7540, /0 1 and b = � minimizes the free energy. Here, 0 is the gap in the 2SC phase in the absence of Fermi surface splitting and the precise value of  is 1.1996786... [61, 83, 102, 119, 120].  is zero at the transition and increases with decreasing � Fig. 4. In this paper we will use b/� = 1.19 for the entire range �/0  (0.575, 0.75).
+Even though the FF phase is not favoured compared to the homogeneous pairing phase (in which the paired fermions are gapped since  = 0 > �) for � < 0.707, we will explore this range because of the possibility that the higher plane wave states may be favoured in a wider region and may be governed by similar physics. (Also see Ref. [121].)
+In Fig. 5 we plot the results for L, R,  and  as a function of � with b and  chosen as described above. For a fixed �, which sets the overall scale, there are two dimensionless ratios that are needed to specify the transport properties of the FF phase as a function of �, T /�, and 0/�. We show the results for T /� = 3.34 � 10-4 and 0/� = 1.67 � 10-2 in Fig. 5 though the results should be unchanged as long as the hierarchy of scales T 0 and 0 � are satisfied.

The pairing is anisotropic with b = 1.19� and  is taken from Fig. 4. T /� = 3.34�10-4 is held fixed and T /0 = 0.02. The central values are given by filled circles and the error bars are are shown by the dashes of the corresponding color. The error bars for Rij are associated with errors in the seven dimensional Monte Carlo integration used for evaluating Rij (Eq. B2) and are propagated to  and . The large errors in c and d (blue and cyan online) do not affect the final . The dashed horizontal lines correspond to the values for unpaired matter (see the caption of Fig. 2 for details). The upper dot dashed curves in the panels for La and Lb (Raa, Rbb) [yellow online] are associated with geometric reduction due to a smaller gapless surface as described in Eq. 115 (Eq. 116). The lower dot dashed curves in the panels for Lc and Ld (Rcc, Rdd) [yellow online] are associated with exponential reduction due to pairing. The results are discussed from Eqs. 115 to Eq. 118 in the text.
+
+To get a concrete feel for numbers, one can take � = 300MeV, 0 = 5MeV (which is on the lower edge of 0 for model studies) and T = 0.1MeV. We choose 0 = 5MeV so that the exponential suppression exp(-/T ) is small enough to be clearly visible in the results, but still large enough to be accessible within numerical errors.

+This is a remarkable result and is once again a consequence of the intricate interplay between  and  that we saw in Sec. IV B 1. The reduced phase space due to pairing increases a and b by the same factor as it decreases La and Lb because R goes as the square of this factor. Consequently, in the product, the two effects cancel out.
+The key results that we obtained in this section are that
+
+1. La and Lb are only geometrically suppressed by the smaller gapless surface (Eq. 115)
+
+2. Lc and Ld are exponentially suppressed
+3. For Debye screened mediators, Raa and Rbb are only geometrically suppressed (Eq. 116)
+4. Rcc and Rdd are exponentially suppressed
+
+B. Two-flavor FF phase using t1, t2, t3 exchange
+Now we use the interaction mediated by the Landau damped t1, t2, t3 to calculate  in the two-flavor FF phase. In the Eq. 21 the left hand sides, Li, depend only on the spectrum of quasi-particles and not the interaction. Therefore, they are not modified. For T /0 = 0.02 they are as shown in the top left panel of Fig. 5 in Sec. V A.
+The difference from Sec. V A appears in the collision integral [Rij], where the square of the matrix element |M(12  34)|2 in Eq. 21 (or Eq. B2) is given by Eq. 75

+about 36. Evaluating the collision integral numerically, one obtains R1t1un/�5  -7.2�10-8 shown by the dashed horizontal line (green online) in Fig. 6 . Comparing with
+the numerical result for the longitudinal gluon exchange, R1u1n/�5  -1.23 � 10-9 from the dashed horizontal line in (green online) on the top right column of Fig. 5, we see
+that numerically the enhancement factor is  58, which
+shows that the estimate (Eq. 122) is in the right ballpark.
+This also impies we can ignore the longitudinal gluons.
+This also applies to the FF phase.
+The non-trivial results shown in Fig. 6 are the val-
+ues of Raa and Rbb for the FF phase. The pairing is
+
+anisotropic with b = 1.19� and  is taken from Fig. 4. T /� = 3.34 � 10-4 is held fixed and T /0 = 0.02 (the same as the parameters used in Fig. 5). The geometric
+suppression due to the smaller gapless surface (Eq. 116)
+would lead to a reduction in Raa and Rbb. The actual numerical evaluation for Raa and Rbb shows that they are enhanced over the unpaired isotropic result. This can
+be understood as follows.

+
+For |� + b cos |  , the dispersion is gapless for   0
+
+(Eq. A3) implying vp  0 and the jacobian for the  functions diverges. Higher order terms in the Taylor ex-
+
+pansion of p prevent Rij from diverging, but this shows up as an increase in Rij. A similar phenomenon for the isotropic gapless CFL phase was seen earlier in Ref. [124].
+
+There are two reasons why this effect is not seen in
+
+Fig. 5 where the interaction is mediated by Eq. 90. First,
+
+the relative - sign between the coherence factor in Eq. 99
+
+compared with the + sign in Eq. 75 implies that the ma-
+
+trix element Eq. 99 tends to 0 if   0 while Eq. 75 does
+
+not (we also discussed a similar effect in Sec. III D). Sec-
+
+ond, this effect is more important if the collision integral
+
+is dominated by small q compared to � and the linear
+
+expansion (Eq. 123) is accurate: The effect is therefore
+
+more pronounced where the exchanged gauge boson is Landau damped. 11
+
+With the collision integral R in hand, we can calculate
+
+ and . The results for  for four different values of the
+
+temperatures, T /0 = 0.025, T /0 = 0.05, T /0 = 0.1, T /0 = 0.2, are shown in Fig. 7 and clearly show a reduction in  by a factor of roughly 100 associated with
+
+the enhancement in the collision integral.
+
+One technical comment about the numerical evalua-
+
+tion is that because of the more peaked nature of the
+
+integrand due to the two reasons mentioned above, the
+
+Monte Carlo integration for Rij (Eq. B2) converges very slowly. Therefore to improve the statistics, we have av-
+
+eraged Raa and Rbb (which should be equal), and Rab and Rba (which should be equal) while making Fig. 7 and added the errors in quadrature. Similarly, we have
+
+combined the data for the c and d branches in Fig. 7

+cosity in the unpaired phase using Eq. B1. The result for the FF phase is denoted by the solid points with errors denoted by error bars. The error bars are large enough that we do not attempt a fit but a rough description of the data in this T range is given by
+
+  10-21t un .
+
+(126)
+
+Since  is relatively flat with respect to � for all the T 's in a wide range of T  (Fig. 6), we propose Eq. 126 as a fair parameterization of the shear viscosity in the FF phase for T  throughout the two-flavor FF window. Eq. 126 is a concise summary of our main result.
+
+11There is an additional source of enhancement when the gauge boson polarization is given by Eq. 52 rather than Eq. 61. Since h < 1, |M|2 is larger in the anisotropic paired phase than the isotropic unpaired phase. However, since h is not 1 for all cos , this is not the dominant effect.
+
+VI. CONCLUSIONS
+We present the first calculation of the shear viscosity of the two-flavor FF phase of quark matter.
+We identify the low energy quasi-particles that play an important role in transporting momentum and energy at low T . Due to the large density of states near the Fermi surface, the u and d quarks, and the electrons dominate transport properties if they are gapless. The "blue" u and d quarks, and the electrons do not participate in pairing and their viscosity is the same as in the 2SC phase, calculated in Ref. [64].
+The ur -dg -ug -dr quarks pair and form Bogoliubov quasi-particles. The main difference between the twoflavor FF and the 2SC phase is that the spectra of Bogoliubov quasi-particles feature gapless modes near surfaces that form the boundaries of crescent shaped blocking regions. The technical advance made in the paper is the calculation of their viscosity.
+The other low energy modes, the phonons associated with the compressions and rarefactions of the iso-phase surfaces of the order parameter [130], are Landau damped and do not contribute significantly to energy-momentum transport at low temperatures.
+By comparing the strength and the ranges of the particles that mediate quark interactions (see Sec. III D for details) we conclude that the dominant mechanism of scattering of the ur - dg - ug - dr Bogoliubov quasiparticles in the two-flavor FF phase is the exchange of transverse t1, t2 and t3 gluons which are Landau damped. Note in particular that the longitudinal t1, t2 and t3 gluons are Debye screened and can be ignored. The Landau damping is anisotropic. The gluon polarization tensor is given in Eqs. 61 62. (More details about the calculation of the gluon polarization will be given in a forthcoming publication [128].) We also show that the scattering of the Bogoliubov quasi-particles via exchange of the Goldstone modes, and due to their absorption and emission is subdominant for T � and can be ignored.
+We give a novel formalism to describe the scattering of Bogoliubov quasi-particles. We separate the two branches of the quasi-particle dispersions (Eq. 43) into  > 0 and  < 0 (Eq. 46, Fig. 1) modes. This doubles the dimension of the collision integral matrix [Rij], with four modes a, b, c and d (Eq. 46). The utility of this formalism is that it interpolates between two pairing regimes. When T is comparable to  (near the superconducting phase transition) the collision integral includes processes involving a + c  a + c ("inter-band" processes). When T  the collision integral only features a + a  a + a, b + b  b + b, and a + b  a + b ("intra-band" processes). Pair breaking processes are frozen. For isotropic gapless pairing in this regime (b = 0, � > ) a simpler formalism involving only the E1 branch (Eq. 43) would be sufficient. The subtlety in the FF phases is that both E1 and E2 branches can become gapless depending on the values of b, �,  and the angle  of the momentum with the ^b direction. Our formalism allows for all these

+
+possibilities. Our main result is given in Fig. 7 and Fig. 8. The key
+result is that the viscosity of the ur - dg - ug - dr quarks for a wide range of � in the LOFF window is reduced by a factor of roughly 10-2 compared to the viscosity of unpaired quarks interacting via Landau damped transverse gluons. This is summarized in a compact parameterization of the viscosity Eq. 126.
+This is a surprising result. In the 2SC phase the ur - dg - ug - dr quarks are fully gapped and are frozen. In the FF phase the geometric area of the gapless surface is reduced by pairing. But at the same time the phase space for collisions is also reduced by the square of the geometric factor. Hence this simple argument suggests that the shear viscosity should be comparable to that for unpaired quarks. Indeed this is precisely what happens if the interaction between the quarks is assumed to be mediated by Debye screened longitudinal gluons corresponding to the broken generators, as shown in Fig. 5. For long range interactions (dominated by smaller momentum exchanges), however there is an additional effect due to the increase of the density of states satisfying the energy conservation equation due to small velocities over a part of the Fermi surface. The collision integral is enhanced and the shear viscosity is reduced (Eq. 126). This effect is particularly pronounced for t1, t2, t3 gluons because the coherence factors in the matrix element don't cancel (Eq. 75).
+Comparing the shear viscosity of the paired quarks in the FF phase with the contribution of the ub and db quarks Ref. [64] we note that it is suppressed due to two effects. First, the paired quarks dominantly scatter via Landau damped gluons. As discussed above (Eq. 126), the viscosity is further reduced by a factor 100 due to pairing effects. In contrast the transverse gluons exchanged by b quarks all have a Meissner mass and only the transverse Q~ photon is Landau
+
+damped. For (�/T )1/3 (s3/2/5/3), Q~ exchange dominates b - b scattering and paired/b  10-2s5/3/5/3. For (�/T )1/3 (s3/2/5/3), gluon exchange dominates b - b scattering and paired/b  10-2(T /�)1/3. This implies that the sum of the viscosities due to the b quarks and the electrons calculated for the 2SC phase in [64] gives the shear viscosity of the two-flavor FF phase to a very good approximation.
+In this paper we have only given results for the projection operator (0). It will be interesting to repeat the calculation for the other projection operators (1) and (2) ((3) and (4) are Hall projections and the associated viscosities are expected to be zero in a system without magnetic fields). The difference between the three is related to the anisotropy in the shear viscosity tensor and might have interesting implications, although condensation in multiple direction will tend to isotropise the shear viscosity.
+Looking ahead, one can think of several advances that can improve upon our calculation; for example considering more complicated pairing patterns and including the strange quark. In the following discussion we attempt to present a plausible picture of how the shear viscosity of these more realistic phases might behave based on the intuition gained from our calculation, and make some speculations about the physical implications for neutron star phenomenology.
+For example, one can consider more realistic two-flavor LOFF structures [119] involving multiple plane waves. Even these more complex condensates [129] feature gapless fermionic excitations, and while the details are more complicated, the two main features (a) gapless quasiparticle excitations over a Fermi surface with a complicated shape (b) transverse t1, t3, and t3 gluons are Landau damped, are expected to be present also in these more complicated phases. Consequently the shear viscosity of the ur - dg - ug - dr quarks can be ignored as
+
+26
+
+in the FF phase.
+
+Depending on the strange quark mass and the cou-
+
+pling strength between quarks, quark matter in neutron
+
+stars may also feature strange quarks. In the 2SC + s
+
+phase, the electron number is suppressed and numerous
+
+unpaired strange quarks contribute to transport. One
+
+expects their contributions to be comparable to that of
+
+the ub and db quarks in the 2SC phase. The same is also expected for the two FF+s phase. 12 In all these cases
+
+our calculation suggests that whether unpaired s quarks
+
+are present or not it is impossible to distinguish two fla-
+
+vor LOFF pairing from 2SC pairing by comparing the
+
+shear viscosity of the two phases. The paired quarks are
+
+suppressed, though not exponentially.
+
+Qualitative differences, however, are expected to arise
+
+if the strange quarks are also paired. That is, the three-
+
+flavor FF [120] or three-flavor LOFF phases [56]. In these
+
+phases the electrons are few in number and can be ig-
+
+nored as a first approximation. The fermionic excitations
+
+are gapless on non-trivial surfaces [120], as in the two
+
+flavor case. But importantly all Meissner masses are fi-
+
+nite [127] [even if they are smaller by a factor  (/�)2
+
+compared to their values in the CFL phase]. Scatter-
+
+ing of the Bogoliubov quasi-particles is carried out by long ranged Q~ photon (weakly coupled) and short ranged
+
+gluons (screened). Furthermore, for statically screened
+
+gauge boson exchanges (Fig. 5) we find that that the ge-
+
+ometric reduction in the size of the Fermi surface does
+
+not lead to the suppression of the shear viscosity rela-
+
+tive to unpaired matter since the geometric factor cancels
+
+out in . If this intuition holds for the three-flavor FF,
+
+it would imply that three-flavor FF where all the gluons
+
+are screened (and perhaps even three flavor LOFF), has a
+
+significantly larger shear viscosity compared to unpaired
+
+quark matter.
+
+For example for (�/T )1/3 (s3/2/5/3), we expect
+
+that the viscosity of three-flavor FF phases will be larger
+
+than the results for unpaired quark matter by a factor

+
+viscosity {left most curve (blue online) in Fig. 1 in [17]}
+
+for three-flavor FF will be on the right of the curve shown
+
+for unpaired (but interacting) quark matter. This may
+
+affect the observed distribution of the neutron stars in
+
+the T -  plane [139].
+
+Currently, the temperatures of several fast spinning
+
+neutron stars are not well known (they are simply upper
+
+bounds), and no neutron stars are known which lie close
+
+to the shear viscosity stability edge (cooler than 107 K).
+
+A discovery of such a star could in principle distinguish
+
+between three-flavor paired and unpaired quark matter
+
+as the source of damping of r-modes, if one can simultaneously pin down the damping by other mechanisms (for example phase boundaries or Eckman layers).
+Making this speculation more quantitative will require finding a better estimate of the LOFF window in threeflavor quark matter, making models of hybrid neutron stars with quark matter and LOFF cores with equations of states compatible with recent constraints on masses and radii of neutron stars, and a calculation of the shear viscosity in three-flavor LOFF phases as a function of the T and �.
+Presently, stronger constraints on the viscosities of dense matter come from hotter, fast rotating neutron stars. The bulk viscosity provides the damping mechanism in this regime and only selected phases of dense matter are consistent with the observations unless the r- modes saturate at small amplitudes [17]. Since the bulk viscosity in quark matter does not involve the scattering between two quarks it is not sensitive to the nature of screening of the gluons but it is sensitive to the presence of gapless quark modes. Therefore it may be interesting to calculate the bulk viscosity in these phases to find out how the geometric reduction in the gapless surface affects the bulk viscosity in LOFF phases.

+Appendix A: Pairing and blocking regions
+
+At T = 0, all energy eigenstates with E < 0 are filled and the E > 0 eigenstates are empty. This defines the pairing and the blocking regions [54, 83]. (For a geometrical description see Fig. 2 in Ref. [54].)

For  = 0, � = 0, b = 0 the integral can be performed analytically for T � [42, 64] and gives Lun (Eq. 94). For � , Fermi liquid theory predicts that the result is 2Lun. For generic , �, b one can use Azimuthal symmetry to write the integral as a two dimensional integral which can be evaluated easily numerically.
+The general evaluation of the collision integral R is more difficult. For b = 0, spherical symmetry can be used to simplify the integral [42, 64]. Performing d3p4 integration using the momentum  function, changing variables from p3 to q = p3 - p1, and using Eq. 41

+The azimuthal angle p1 can be set to be 0. The five dimensional integration can be done easily
+using Monte Carlo techniques and we find converged answers with 105 - 106 points. The results for Rij shown in Figs. 2, 3 are obtained using 106 points. The error bars
+are the estimated error in the Monte Carlo integration.
+More points are required for Landau damped exchange bosons since the |M(12  34)|2 and hence the integrand
+is more sharply peaked at q  0.
+For the anisotropic case, simplifications associated

+
+The azimuthal angle p1 can be set to be 0. Because of the higher dimensions the convergence of
+the Monte Carlo evaluation of Eq. B2 is much slower
+compared to Eq. B1. In making Fig. 5 where the mediator is Debye screened, we used 7�107 points and obtained
+
+28
+
+reasonably converged results. The evaluation of Rij for Figs. 6, 7 was more computationally involved because the
+dispersions as well as the interactions are anisotropic and
+the interactions are mediated by Landau damped gluons.
+Thus the integrand is sharply peaked at small q. To evaluate Rij for Figs. 6 7 we used 2.2�108 Monte Carlo points which took about a week on a modern cluster with 100
+
+nodes. The most challenging part of the computation is simultaneously solving for the momentum energy conservation constraint Ep3 -Ep1 =  = Ep2 -Ep4 and required writing a robust solver in c. The convergence of Rij is poor, as seen by the large error bars in Rij and . Substantial improvements would require significantly higher computing resources and/or a better algorithm which we leave for future.

+ULTRA-DIFFUSE AND ULTRA-COMPACT GALAXIES IN THE FRONTIER FIELDS CLUSTER ABELL 2744

+ABSTRACT
+We report the discovery of a large population of Ultra-diffuse Galaxies (UDGs) in the massive galaxy cluster Abell 2744 (z = 0.308) as observed by the Hubble Frontier Fields program. Since this cluster is  5 times more massive than Coma, our observations allow us to extend 0.7 dex beyond the high-mass end of the relationship between UDG abundance and cluster mass reported by van der Burg et al. (2016). Using the same selection criteria as van der Burg et al. (2016), A2744 hosts an estimated 2133 � 613 UDGs, ten times the number in Coma. As noted by Lee & Jang (2016), A2744 contains numerous unresolved compact objects, which those authors identified predominantly as globular clusters. However, these objects have luminosities that are more consistent with ultracompact dwarf (UCD) galaxies. The abundances of both UCDs and UDGs scale with cluster mass as a power law with a similar exponent, although UDGs and UCDs have very different radial distributions within the cluster. The radial surface density distribution of UCDs rises sharply toward the cluster centre, while the surface density distribution of the UDG population is essentially flat. Together, these observations hint at a picture where some UCDs in A2744 may have once been associated with infalling UDGs. As UDGs fall in and dissolve, they leave behind a residue of unbound ultra-compact dwarfs.
+
+1. INTRODUCTION
+It is now known that the Universe is not nearly as deficient in massive low surface brightness galaxies as was once thought, and that such `ultra-diffuse galaxies' (UDGs) can be found in large numbers in rich clusters of galaxies (van Dokkum et al. 2015a,b; Koda et al. 2015; van der Burg et al. 2016). The largest UDGs have sizes similar to the Milky Way (half-light radii around 3 kpc) but only 1/100 to 1/1000 as many stars. These systems were originally discovered using the Dragonfly Telephoto Array (Abraham & van Dokkum 2014), which is highly optimized for the detection of low surface brightness structures, but the detection of most UDGs is within the capability of conventional telescopes.
+The discovery of UDGs has generated tremendous interest in the community, from observers who are rapidly enlarging the UDG samples (e.g. Koda et al. 2015; Mihos et al. 2016; van der Burg et al. 2016), from simulators who must now try to understand the origin and evolution of these galaxies (e.g. Yozin & Bekki 2015; Amorisco & Loeb 2016), and even from alternative gravity researchers who claim their existence challenges dark matter models (Milgrom 2015). The existence of so many presumably `delicate' UDGs in rich clusters (Koda et al. (2015) put their number at  800 in Coma) poses the immediate question of why they are not being ripped apart by the tidal field of their host clusters. They may be short-lived

+and be on their first infall and about to be shredded, but this seems unlikely given their predominantly red stellar populations and smooth morphologies. However, two UDGs in Virgo show extended tidal debris and appear to be in the process of being tidally stripped (Mihos et al. 2015, 2016). If they have survived for several orbits in a rich cluster, then simple stability arguments suggest that they must have significantly higher masses than implied by their stellar populations; in fact, in order to survive, their dark matter fractions need to be > 98% (van Dokkum et al. 2015a) within their half-light radii, suggesting they are `failed' L galaxies. At least two objects in Coma, Dragonfly 17 (Peng & Lim 2016) and Dragonfly 44 (van Dokkum et al. 2016) show strong evidence (high velocity dispersions or large globular cluster populations, or both) for being resident within very massive halos. So for at least two UDGs the `failed giant' picture appears to be plausible. However, these may be extreme cases (Amorisco et al. 2016; Rom�an & Trujillo 2016b), with more typical UDGs being better described as `inflated dwarfs', whose anomalously large sizes are due to extreme feedback-driven outflows (Di Cintio et al. 2017), unusually high spins (Amorisco & Loeb 2016), or tidal disruption (Collins et al. 2014). At present, very little is known about the characteristics of UDGs, and it is not clear what fraction of them are `failed giants', `inflated dwarfs', or some other phenomenon.
+Another relatively newly discovered population of lowmass objects lies at the opposite end of the selection function from UDGs. These `ultra-compact dwarfs' (UCDs) have characteristics reminiscent of both the nuclei of low-mass galaxies (Georgiev & B�oker 2014), and massive globular clusters (GCs), and they may well have a connection to both populations (see, e.g., Mieske et al. 2002, 2012; Brodie et al. 2011; Norris et al. 2014; Zhang et al. 2015). UCDs seem to occur mostly in dense environments (both near the centres of clusters and near
+
+2
+
+Janssens et al.
+
+massive galaxies), suggesting that environmental factors (e.g. tidal stripping) drives their formation (e.g., Bekki et al. 2003; Pfeffer & Baumgardt 2013).
+With an eye towards better understanding the nature of both UDGs and UCDs, in this paper we investigate the `extreme' galaxy populations in Abell 2744 using data obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST ) Frontier Fields (FF) program. A2744, also known as the Pandora Cluster, is one of the most massive (virial mass  5 � 1015 M , Boschin et al. 2006; Medezinski et al. 2016) and most disturbed galaxy clusters known (Owers et al. 2011). Its intracluster light fraction is high at 19 � 3% (Jim�enez-Teja & Dupke 2016), with a mass surface density of  10 M pc-2 and a stellar population consistent with the disruption of L galaxies (Montes & Trujillo 2014). These properties suggest A2744 is an ideal location to search for UDGs and UCDs at a lookback time of 3.5 Gyr and we seek to learn whether its extreme characteristics may have left an imprint in its population of UDG and UCD galaxies.
+In this paper, we adopt a CDM cosmology with m = 0.3,  = 0.7, H0 = 70 km s-1 Mpc-1, and a redshift for A2744 of z = 0.308, which corresponds to m-M = 41.02 and 1 arcsec = 4.536 kpc. All magnitudes are in the AB system. Galactic extinction corrections from the Schlafly & Finkbeiner (2011) extinction maps were applied to all magnitudes.6
+2. DATA
+The HST FF program has produced the deepest images to date of galaxy clusters and gravitational lensing for six clusters along with six parallel blank fields offset from each cluster (Lotz et al. 2016). Each cluster and parallel field were observed for 70 orbits with the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) in F435W, F606W and F814W, and 70 orbits with the Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) in F105W, F125W, F140W and F160W. The filters with the deepest coverage are F814W, F105W and F160W. We use the higher resolution 30 mas scale v1.0 images with the "self-calibration" applied to the ACS images and the time variable sky correction applied to the WFC3 images (Koekemoer et al., in prep). The 30 mas images properly sample the ACS point spread function (PSF).
+We note that despite being offset 6 west of A2744's core, the parallel field is well within A2744's virial radius (R200 = 9 = 2.5 Mpc, Medezinski et al. 2016). To supply background corrections, we relied on the HST eXtreme Deep Field (XDF, Illingworth et al. 2013). This is the deepest image of the sky to date in the optical/near-IR, and was obtained by stacking data from 19 different HST programs spanning 10 years covering the Hubble UltraDeep Field. The XDF has ACS coverage in F435W, F606W, F775W, F814W and F850LP, and WFC3 coverage in F105W, F125W, F140W and F160W. Only 60 mas scale images are available for all filters.
+3. METHODOLOGY
+3.1. Object Detection
+For the A2744 cluster and parallel field, we ran SExtractor (Bertin & Arnouts 1996) in dual image mode
+6 Using the online calculator at https://ned.ipac.caltech. edu/forms/calculator.html.
+
+on the 30 mas images using the F814W image as the detection image for all bands. To detect extended low surface-brightness objects, DETECT MINAREA was set to 20 pixels, and DETECT THRESH and ANALYSIS THRESH were both set to 0.7 times the background RMS. Backgrounds were measured in local annuli 24 pixels thick.
+The XDF's F814W depth is relatively shallow, so instead we used F775W as the detection band. The 60 mas pixels are 4 times the area so DETECT MINAREA was set to 5 pixels.
+3.2. Point Spread Functions
+PSFEx (Bertin 2011) was used to fit the PSF across the F814W A2744 cluster and parallel field images. Stars were selected from a more conservative SExtractor catalog with DETECT MINAREA = 5 and DETECT THRESH = 1.0 using the cuts 1.0 < FWHM < 6.0 pixels, S/N > 5 and e < 0.3. For the XDF, we again used the F775W image with the same parameters as the A2744 FF, except we used FWHM < 3.1 pixels to select the PSF stars.
+3.3. Ultra-diffuse Galaxy Selection
+UDG candidates were selected based on their half-light radii and peak surface-brightness. Our approach is essentially that adopted by (van der Burg et al. 2016, hereafter vdB16), with minor adaptations needed to account for the fact that our observations are based on data obtained with HST. In brief, we followed a four-stage process: (1) Low-surface brightness candidates were selected using SExtractor. (2) Candidates were then filtered on the basis of colour to isolate systems with rest-frame colours consistent with quiescent galaxies at the redshift of A2744. (3) Structural parameters were obtained for the remaining candidates in order to extract systems with sizes larger than 1.5 kpc, absolute r-band mean surface brightnesses between 23.8  � e,abs  26.3 mag arcsec-2 and S�ersic index n  4. (4) Obvious image artifacts were discarded using visual inspection. We now describe each of these four steps in some detail.
+1. In the first step of our selection procedure, we conservatively selected all objects large enough to conceivably be a UDG using the following SExtractor parameter cuts: FLAGS < 4 (allowing blended objects and objects with nearby neighbours) and FLUX RADIUS > 7.4 pixels, corresponding to 1.0 kpc at z = 0.308.
+2. UDGs are known to be red (van Dokkum et al. 2015a; vdB16). So in the second step we used A2744's red sequence to define a colour cut which allowed us to isolate the UDG candidates in the A2744 cluster and parallel fields. This was done by applying a linear fit to the bright end of the F814W - F105W red sequence defined using Astrodeep (Merlin et al. 2016; Castellano et al. 2016) photometric redshifts 0.2 < zphot < 0.4 and selecting objects with colours between 0.15 and -0.5 of the red sequence. No such cut was applied to data from the XDF (and, as will be shown below, none was needed, as the XDF contains very few UDGs).
+3. The next step in our UDG galaxy selection relied on structural parameter fits to further isolate UDG

+dex n  4 to produce a set of UDG candidates.7 Since UDGs are round (Burkert 2016), we also removed objects with axis ratios b/a  0.3 to remove edge-on disks and lensing arcs. A total of 65 UDG candidates were found in the A2744 cluster field, 63 in the parallel field, and 30 in the XDF.
+4. Each candidate was visually inspected and classified into the following categories: (i) UDG; (ii) Possible UDG/poorly fit object; (iii) Image artifact. Most objects in the third category were due to spurious features in the low signal-to-noise regions at the edges of the frames.
+After the final visual inspection, we find a total of 76 UDGs in A2744 (41 in the cluster field, 35 in the parallel field), while just 4 UDGs are found in the XDF. All but one of our visually inspected UDGs have a photo-z in the Astrodeep catalog, and 63 have zphot < 1. The circularized sizes and mean surface brightness of all objects in our sample are shown in the left panel of Figure 1. The black lines show our size and surface brightness cuts (Step 2 in our procedure above). For comparison, we also show the Coma UDGs from Yagi et al. (2016) in light grey. Since the purpose of the XDF observations was to determine the level of background contamination from field UDGs, the physical sizes of XDF objects were calculated assuming they are at the same redshift as A2744. The right-hand panel of Figure 1 shows the sizes, absolute r magnitudes and stellar masses of A2744 UDG candidates, along with those in Coma from Yagi et al. (2016) for comparison. We calculated stellar masses from the F814W magnitudes using the same SSP as above. Examples of six UDGs are shown in Figure 2.

+
+At z = 0.308, UCDs are unresolved by HST. They are also expected to be predomininantly found near the brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs). Therefore, to detect point sources near the BCGs, we applied a 15 pixel median filter to the A2744 cluster image and subtracted this off to remove low-frequency power (e.g. from intracluster light and galaxy halos) from the image. SExtractor was then run in dual image mode using the median filtered image as the detection image using DETECT MINAREA = 5 and DETECT THRESH = 1.0. Point sources were identified on the basis of image concentration, C3-7, given by the difference in an object's magnitude determined with 3 pixel and 7 pixel diameter apertures. Point sources were obtained using the cuts FLAGS < 4 and C3-7 < 1.25 magnitudes. Object magnitudes were determined using 4 pixel (0.12 ) diameter apertures. An aperture correction of 0.88 magnitudes was applied by first finding the correction from a 0.12 to a 1 diameter aperture using our PSFEx PSF, and then correcting from a 1 diameter to infinity using Table 5 in Sirianni et al. (2005). The luminosity (mass) distribution of UCD candidates in A2744 is shown in Figure 3.
+
+4. ULTRA-DIFFUSE AND ULTRA-COMPACT GALAXIES IN ABELL 2744
+The WFC3 coverage of A2744 and its parallel field contain 76 systems that are classified as UDGs using the objective criteria noted above. The observations sample only a small portion of A2744 within R200, so this number must be corrected for geometrical incompleteness. Since, as shown below, the radial surface density of UDGs appears relatively flat, we simply divide the number of observed UDGs by the fraction of A2744 observed within R200 and subtract off the expected number of background UDGs in this area. Therefore, after applying a geometrical and background correction, A2744 contains 2133 � 613 UDGs. This is about 10 times the number that exist in Coma8.
+Recently, vdB16 showed that the number of UDGs

+
+8 Note that we adopt a considerably more stringent definition for UDGs than that used by Koda et al. (2015). Using their definition and correcting for incompleteness yields over 800 UDGs in Coma.

+
+in nearby clusters scales nearly linearly (in log space) with the mass of the cluster (interior to M200, the number of UDGs scales as M 0.93). Adding A2744 (M200 = 5�1015 M ) allows us to extend this relation by 0.7 dex, as shown in Figure 4, which overplots our A2744 number on top of the relation of vdB16. We include UDGs in Coma and Fornax by applying our selection to the Yagi et al. (2016) and Mun~oz et al. (2015) catalogs, respectively, the numbers in A168 and UGC842 (Rom�an & Trujillo 2016a), and three Hickson Compact Groups (Rom�an & Trujillo 2016b). For Fornax, the catalog covers the inner 350 kpc, so we apply a geometrical incompleteness correction9 out to R200 = 700 kpc (Drinkwater et al. 2001). A2744 contains about twice the number of UDGs predicted by the vdB16 relationship, although the errors are large and the deviation from the relationship is not significant.
+Recently, Lee & Jang (2016) studied compact (FWHM 400 pc) objects within the A2744 cluster field (using the parallel field for background subtraction). These sources are concentrated around the brightest cluster galaxies, confirming their membership of A2744. They detected thousands of sources ranging from a faint limit of around F814W  29.5 to F814W  27. By fitting a standard globular cluster luminosity function with a peak at F814W = 33.0 (some 3.5 mags below the detection limit) and extrapolating to F814W = 27, they concluded that A2744 contained 147 � 26 UCDs, and a total number of 385, 044 � 24, 016 globular clusters. However, the assumption of a standard Gaussian GCLF extrapolated to bright magnitudes implies that a significant number of their GCs have masses greater than 2�106 M (a widely accepted upper mass cutoff for a GC), and it seems much more likely to us that the vast majority of the objects identified by Lee & Jang (2016) are UCDs. We note that within 300 kpc of the Fornax cluster centre, the number of UCDs with masses > 107 M is 24 (Pfeffer et al. 2014), and similarly in Virgo, there are 31 (Zhang et al. 2015). Scaling by the relative cluster masses and the predicted relation of Pfeffer et al., one expects between 360 and 720 UCDs in A2744. This is inconsistent with the 147 UCDs identified by Lee & Jang (2016). However, our estimate of 385 � 32 (Figure 3) UCDs with masses between 107 and 108 M within 300 kpc of the cluster centre10 (including a background correction from the parallel field) lies between these two extremes. Two UDGs in Virgo, VLSB-A and VLSB-D, appear to be in the process of being tidally disrupted and host compact nuclei with properties similar to UCDs, hinting at a transformation from UDG to UCD (Mihos et al. 2016). At least one UDG in A2744 appears to be nucleated (top right of Figure 2). In addition, the abundance of UCDs is predicted to scale with cluster mass in a manner similar to that of UDGs (NUCD  M 0.87, Pfeffer et al. 2014).

+sity distribution of UCDs is very cuspy, rising sharply toward the centre, whereas the surface density distribution of UDGs is essentially flat. In fact, vdB16 find the projected surface density of UDGs in their clusters to be consistent with zero UDGs within a central spherical region of r = 0.15 � R200. This points to a picture where some UCDs in A2744 may have once been nuclei or satellites of infalling UDGs, but that the latter are ultimately destroyed by tidal forces. As UDGs fall in and dissolve (and, presumably, blend into the intra-cluster light), they leave behind a residue of unbound, but long lived, UCDs.

+ABSTRACT
+MassSpec, a method for determining the mass of a transiting exoplanet from its transmission spectrum alone, was proposed by de Wit & Seager (2013). The premise of this method relies on the planet's surface gravity being extracted from the transmission spectrum via its effect on the atmospheric scale height, which in turn determines the strength of absorption features. Here, we further explore the applicability of MassSpec to low-mass exoplanets � specifically those in the super-Earth size range for which radial velocity determinations of the planetary mass can be extremely challenging and resource intensive. Determining the masses of these planets is of the utmost importance because their nature is otherwise highly unconstrained. Without knowledge of the mass, these planets could be rocky, icy, or gas-dominated. To investigate the effects of planetary mass on transmission spectra, we present simulated observations of super-Earths with atmospheres made up of mixtures of H2O and H2, both with and without clouds. We model their transmission spectra and run simulations of each planet as it would be observed with JWST using the NIRISS, NIRSpec, and MIRI instruments. We find that significant degeneracies exist between transmission spectra of planets with different masses and compositions, making it impossible to unambiguously determine the planet's mass in many cases.

+1. INTRODUCTION
+The canonical idea of a small planet has dramatically changed in the last decade. Out of the thousands of planet candidates discovered by Kepler (Mullaly et al. 2015), nearly 80% of them have radii < 3R. Additionally, occurrence rate studies verify that this high frequency is not merely an observational bias (Dressing et al. 2013; Petigura et al. 2013; Morton & Swift 2014; Silburt et al. 2015). The next step to understanding this large population of planets is to obtain precise mass measurements necessary to shed light on the bulk composition of these objects. Although these masses are unobtainable via Kepler 's transit method, they can be calculated from transit timing variations (TTVs) (e.g. Lissauer et al. 2011, 2013; Carter et al. 2012; Jontof-Hutter et al. 2014; Masuda 2014; Jontof-Hutter et al. 2016) and radial velocity (RV) measurements (e.g. Batalha et al. 2011; Weiss et al. 2013; Howard et al. 2103; Dressing et al. 2015). Nevertheless, the RV and TTV methods have only yielded masses for a fraction of these systems to date.

+
+to be rocky (e.g. the Kepler-11 system, Lissauer et al. (2013)), were later found by way of their mass and inferred bulk density to have large H/He envelopes. Although radius might act as a first order proxy for a planet's composition and H/He fraction (Lopez et al. 2014; Rogers 2015), there is no one-to-one mapping between planet radius and mass for sub-gas giant planets. Considerable compositional degeneracies exist in theoretical mass-radius relations for low-mass exoplanets (Fortney et al. 2007; Seager et al. 2007). Furthermore, observations of the spectra of transiting exoplanets require knowledge of the planet's surface gravity, and therefore its mass, to correctly interpret key properties such as the thermal structure, atmospheric composition, and presence of aerosols. Mass measurements are therefore a necessary first step toward understanding the population of sub-jovian exoplanets.
+Determining masses through RVs (effective for massive planets around bright, quiet stars) and TTV analyses (effective for closely spaced planets in multi-planet systems) is a technical challenge, which in the case of lowmass planets is often insurmountable with current instruments. The current state-of-the art is 0.8 m s-1 while an Earth-mass planet in the habitable zones of a Sun-like star and a 0.1 M M-dwarf, respectively, will produce a 0.09 m s-1 and a 0.9 m s-1 signal (Fischer et al. 2016). Although a number of RV instruments able to measure masses down to an Earth-mass and below are currently in development (see Fischer et al. 2016), most will only

+begin operation 1-3 years after the launch of the James
+
+Webb Space Telescope (JWST ). Yet a key priority of the
+
+JWST mission is to characterize the atmospheres of low-
+
+mass exoplanets.
+
+In the interest of bypassing resource-intensive RVs
+
+to determine exoplanet masses, a technique for deter-
+
+mining the mass of a transiting exoplanet from atmo-
+
+spheric observations alone � via its transmission spec-
+
+trum � was proposed by de Wit & Seager (2013). This
+
+method, termed MassSpec, relies on accurate determi-

+
+cause these planets are assumed to have H/He-dominated
+
+atmospheres with �  2.3 amu. In this case, MassSpec
+
+can be used to verify or determine exoplanet masses.
+
+Low-mass planets, however, could be rocky, icy, or they
+
+could have large H/He envelopes. The implied atmo-
+
+spheric composition that accompanies each type of planet
+
+spans a wide range. This poses a challenge for retriev-
+
+ing masses because � is essentially unconstrained. Here,
+
+we investigate the extent of these degeneracies and de-
+
+termine the feasibility of extracting masses specifically
+
+from JWST observations of the transmission spectra of
+
+small-radius planets without any a priori knowledge of
+
+planet mass. In �2 we describe our method for modeling
+
+spectra and JWST instrumental noise, in �3 we describe
+
+our results, and we end with concluding remarks in �4.
+
+2. METHODS
+2.1. Modeling Transmission Spectra
+In order to investigate degeneracies in transmission spectra for planets of unknown mass, we use the Exo-Transmit radiative transfer package (Kempton et al. 2016) to compute a grid of spectra where we vary both the planet's surface gravity and atmospheric composition while keeping the planet's size fixed. We then inter-compare the spectra to determine which ones are observationally distinguishable from one another. In all cases, we fix the temperature-pressure profile to an isothermal T =400 K and the planet's radius at Rp = 1.5 R. This planet size was specifically chosen to reflect the point of greatest compositional uncertainty, which corresponds to the maximum size after which planets tend to decrease in density with increasing radius, indicating a H/He-envelope (Weiss & Marcy 2014; Rogers 2015). In other words, a 1.5 R planet could be rocky, icy, or could have a large H/He envelope with approximately equal probability.
+For simplicity, we consider atmospheres that are a mix of only H2 and H2O � two of the major constituent materials for low-mass exoplanets. This approach is motivated because any absorptive gas will produce the same qualitative behaviors as what we describe in the following sections. Additionally, barring very high C/O planets, self-consistent models that include photochemistry, thermochemistry and kinetic-transport always show large H2O components, regardless of H2 content (Hu et al.
+
+2014). Therefore, additional molecules are not expected to change our results.
+In our model grid, we vary gravity from 5 - 25 m/s2, in steps of 1.4 m/s2, and the ratio of H2O to H2 (by volume) from 10-3 - 101 in log steps of 0.4 dex, creating a total of 150 models. This range of parameters covers H2rich mini-Neptunes, H2O-rich water worlds, and rocky planets with H2-H2O atmospheres. We also generate a limited number of spectra for cloudy atmospheres where a fully optically thick gray cloud has been inserted at a specified atmospheric pressure.
+Because we only investigate H2-H2O atmospheres, the sole opacity sources in the cloud-free models are the vibration-rotation bands of water vapor in the near- and mid-IR, collision-induced absorption (CIA), and Rayleigh scattering off of H2 and H2O gas (see Freedman et al. (2008, 2014) and Lupu et al. (2014) for a more detailed description of the opacity data). Exo-Transmit includes H2-H2 CIA opacities but not H2H2O or H2O-H2O. The non-inclusion of H2O CIA should not affect our results because these opacities tend to be only weakly wavelength dependent. For our cloudy models, the cloud opacity is treated as an infinite opacity source at the location of the cloud deck.
+
+2.2. Modeling JWST Observations and Instrumental Noise
+
+We simulate three different instrument modes: the
+
+NIRISS Single Object Slitless Spectrometer (SOSS)
+
+(R=700, 0.7-2.7�m), NIRSpec G395H+f290lp (R=2000,
+
+2.8-5�m), and the MIRI Low Resolution Spectrometer
+
+(LRS) (R=100, 5-14�m). To calculate the flux and back-
+
+ground rates, F and B, we use the beta version of Space Telescope Science Institute's online Exposure Time Cal-
+
+culator3 (ETC). The ETC does not contain a systematic
+
+noise floor, which has been suggested to be anywhere
+
+from 20-30 ppm for the near-IR instruments and 50 ppm
+
+for MIRI (Greene et al. 2016). These noise estimates
+
+may shift somewhat but will not impact the conclusions
+
+in this paper.
+
+The duty cycle is calculated by determining the num-
+
+ber of allowable groups in an integration before detector
+
+saturation. A group, in JWST terminology, is one or
+
+more consecutively read frames -- all exoplanet spec-
+
+troscopy modes have a single frame per group. To de-
+
+termine the number of groups per integration, ngrp, we
+
+sequentially increase ngrp in the ETC, until a single pixel
+
+on the detector becomes saturated. The duty cycle is cal-
+

+
+tionally, a GJ-1214-like star at J = 8 will have a distance
+
+of 6.6 pc, which acts as an optimistic comparison with
+
+de Wit & Seager (2013)'s assumed system at 15 pc. We
+
+calculate ngrp = 2, 9, and 29 for NIRISS SOSS, NIRSpec

+
+Fout is the flux (e-/s) for the host star computed from the JWST ETC. Fin is the in-transit flux, Fin = Fout(1- Rp2,/R2,), where Rp2,/R2, is obtained from the transmission spectrum model described in �2.1. The in-transit
+and out-of-transit time components, tin and tout, are the transit duration and the out-of-transit observing time,
+respectively, multiplied by the duty cycle.

+
+puted in the JWST ETC, and npix is the number of extracted pixels. The read noise, RN , will be different for
+
+each instrument. We use RN = 18 e- for the near-IR de-
+
+tectors and RN = 28 e- for MIRI (Greene et al. 2016).
+
+Finally, the factor of (Fouttout)-2 comes from propagat-
+
+ing errors from the equation for the transit depth:
+

+

+.
+
+(3)
+
+The final simulated observation is computed by assuming random Gaussian noise with standard deviation specified by Equation 2.
+Finally, unless otherwise specified, each observation simulation is computed for 100 transits. Each transit is composed of 1 hour in-transit, the approximate transit duration for a 400 K, 1.5 R planet orbiting a GJ-
+
+1214-like star, and 1-hour out-of-transit (200 hours for 100 transits). For reference, this is approximately double the number of observing hours spent on the longest campaigns for single exoplanet targets to date with HST (Kreidberg et al. 2014a,b; Stevenson et al. 2014). However, it may be realistic to expect long observing campaigns for the most promising potentially habitable small-radius exoplanets with JWST. The simulated observations from de Wit & Seager (2013) are also composed of 200 hours of observing time, but they only consider in-transit data, which are assumed to be spread across three NIRSpec grisms (66.67 hrs in each). Our observing time is larger by a factor of 3 because we do not assume the time is split between three modes. This only further emphasizes the difficulties in constraining masses via transmission spectroscopy.
+3. RESULTS
+To determine the absolute degree of difference between pairs of model transmission spectra, we directly intercompare the mean-subtracted spectra at native instrument resolving power without any added noise to find the maximum deviation at a single wavelength. For this comparison of the spectral models, we produce our full model grid (as described in Section 2.1) for both a Sunlike and a GJ 1214b-like (0.2 R) host star. We find that in each of the observing modes, for the larger Sunlike host star, over 70% of the planet-pair scenarios have maximum spectral differences of less than 50 ppm. For reference, this is the noise floor that has been suggested for the mid-IR JWST instruments (Greene et al. 2016)

+and is close to the minimum noise level achieved with near-IR detectors on HST (Line et al. 2016). That is to say, that in over 70% of cases, the maximum difference between pairs of models is small enough that it would be challenging for any amount of JWST observing time to reveal the distinction. This high percentage is expected because a 400 K super-Earth orbiting a Sun-like star is a challenging target for JWST with its long orbital period and small transit depth of approximately 200 ppm. Super-Earths with temperatures of 400 K around M-dwarf stars, however, have been shown to be attainable for atmospheric characterization with JWST with 20 transits (Batalha et al. 2015; Barstow et al. 2015; Greene et al. 2016). For a GJ 1214-like star, we find 4.5% (505 total pairs) of cases to be degenerate with maximum differences of 50 ppm or less in the NIRISS band, 5.5% (615 total pairs) in the NIRSpec G395H band and 13% (1471 total pairs) in the MIRI LRS band. As expected, these numbers are dependent on the bin size. For example, if a NIRISS observation is binned down from its native resolving power (R = 700) to R = 100, the number of degenerate planet pairs at the 50 ppm level increases from 4.5% to 9% (1086 total pairs).
+In Figure 1 we illustrate the degenerate parameter space by isolating two representative gravities (9.3 and 20.7 m/s2) and showing the maximum spectral differences as a function of composition, with scaling for both the GJ 1214-type and Sun-like host star. We choose these two gravities to illustrate cases where degeneracies would exist, yet the implied planet types are very different. The planet denoted as model #1 has a density
+
+of 3.5 g/cm3 as opposed to 7.7 g/cm3 for model #2. By comparing against theoretical mass-radius relationships for low-mass planets (Fortney et al. 2007; Seager et al. 2007), the former is a low-density planet with a considerable volatile component � either an ice-rich water-world or a hydrogen-rich mini-Neptune � whereas the latter is a rocky planet consistent with an Earth-like bulk composition.
+The least degenerate region of Figure 1 lies in the lower right-hand corner where the high surface gravity planet combined with a high MMW atmosphere will produce much smaller spectral features than a low surface gravity, low MMW atmosphere. The most degenerate regions occur along a diagonal that cuts across the top portion of each panel of Figure 1. This is the region where both model #1 and model #2 produce comparably sized spectral features, which takes place where the low surface gravity planet has a higher MMW atmosphere and vice versa. This qualitative behavior extends to other surface gravity pairings. We point out that the relative strength of spectral features in transmission grows proportionately with temperature, as will the maximum spectral differences between models. Planets with T > 400 K will therefore be more easily distinguishable from one another, and less so for T < 400 K.
+The metric employed in Figure 1 for distinguishing between atmospheric scenarios assumes that model discrepancies at a single wavelength are sufficient for ascertaining the best-fit model parameters. More realistically, instrumental noise along with finite observing time will limit the degree to which an atmosphere can be characterized. To quantify these effects, in Figure 2, we isolate a single degenerate planet pair from Figure 1 and show each resulting simulated observation in the three different JWST modes using the noise model described in Section 2.2. The two planets shown in Figure 2 have g = 9.3 m/s2 with log[H2O/H2] = 1.0 and g = 20.7 m/s2 with log[H2O/H2] = -0.3. The former case represents a water world with a water-dominated atmosphere, whereas the latter would be a rocky planet with an outgassed hydrogen-dominated atmosphere.
+On average over each observational band pass, the difference between the two observations is 10 ppm. For NIRISS SOSS (the least degenerate observation), only considering pure shot and read noise, the errors after 100 transits are 5 ppm. The reduced-2 for one NIRISS observation using the opposing model as a template is 2red = 1.3 -- right at the 3- interval for 230 DOF (2red < 1.27) it would just be on the cusp of nondegeneracy. In reality though, 5 ppm error bars are highly unlikely given the current state of the art using Hubble (e.g. Line et al. 2016), as well as current knowledge of instrument systematics (Greene et al. 2016). If we were to include a 20 ppm noise floor, the reduced2 shrinks to 2red = 1.06. Within the 1- interval for 230 DOF (2red < 1.09), these cases could only be distinguished with a priori knowledge of the planet's mass. Given the considerable number of non-degenerate planet pairs, especially for the M-dwarf host star, it may seem that MassSpec could be a productive method for measuring exoplanet masses in some situations where RVs are unattainable. However, the aforementioned cases were all modeled without the presence of aerosols (clouds

The two simulations differ in their assumed gravity, metallicity (H2O/H2), indicated in the color legend, and cloud assumptions. In the top panel neither model has clouds. In the bottom panel, the low gravity, high metallicity model has a 10 millibar cloud that reduces the strength of its absorption features. Observations were simulated for NIRISS SOSS with no noise floor and binned to R=100. Top panel observations were simulated with 40 transits (80 hrs).

+and haze). As we know from ground and space-based observations, aerosols are practically ubiquitous in the transmission spectra of exoplanets (e.g. Kreidberg et al. 2014a; Sing et al. 2016). Aerosols add an additional layer of degeneracy to the retrieval of physical parameters from transmission spectra and can therefore further complicate the extraction of mass information from atmospheric observations. This occurs because both the presence of clouds and an increase in metallicity can have the same dampening effect on molecular absorption features. In Figure 3, we demonstrate this effect by adding a gray opacity source to one of two planet cases whose cloudfree spectra were initially non-degenerate. We show that when a 10 mbar cloud is added to a target with g = 7.8 m/s2 and log[H2O/H2] = 0.1 it becomes degenerate with a target that has a no clouds, g = 20.7 m/s2, and log[H2O/H2] = -0.3. Figure 3 is a single illustration of a general effect, in which we expect the presence of aerosols to dramatically increase the number of planet pairs that are degenerate with one another.
+
+4. DISCUSSION & CONCLUSION
+To investigate degeneracies between gravity and composition in small planets, we have inter-compared 150 forward model transmission spectra for a planet with a H2-H2O atmosphere, radius of R = 1.5 R, and isothermal temperature of 400 K. The surface gravity and atmospheric composition were allowed to vary with the goal of determining whether the planet's mass (via its surface gravity) is recoverable from transmission spectrum observations. We found that a considerable fraction of the planet pairs were identical to one another at or below the 50 ppm level -- more so for a larger Sun-like host star. With the addition of clouds, these degeneracies were exacerbated. The 50 ppm level is important because it is the approximate minimum noise level, or noise floor, that has been suggested for mid-IR JWST instruments (Greene et al. 2016). Barring any unfore-
+
+5
+seen circumstances, the near-IR instruments will likely have a lower noise floor of 20-30 ppm.
+By modeling the JWST noise sources we determined that even 100 transits (equivalent here to 200 hrs) in key observing modes is not sufficient to discern between many planet pairs, even assuming no systematic noise floor. A shorter timespan of observations, smaller planetary radius, larger stellar radius, or lower planetary temperature will further enhance the difficulties with extracting a planet's mass from its transmission spectrum.
+These conclusions paint a far more pessimistic picture of mass extraction via transmission spectroscopy than de Wit & Seager (2013). Yet our results are fully consistent with retrieval studies (Benneke & Seager 2012, 2013; Barstow et al. 2015; Greene et al. 2016), which attempt to constrain the atmospheres of super-Earths and miniNeptunes with simulated JWST data, even when the masses are known. For example, Greene et al. (2016) find that only a log[H2O] > -7 lower limit can be placed on the water mixing ratio of a cloud-free, 100% H2O, 500 K, 2.1 R planet orbiting an K=8 M0.0V star with a high SNR 1-11 �m observation. Similarly, Benneke & Seager (2012) cannot reliably determine whether the observed absorber is the main constituent of the atmosphere or just a minor species when the mixing ratio is less than 0.1%, and there is no observation of the molecular Rayleigh scattering (< 1�m). We speculate that de Wit & Seager (2013)'s optimistic results may be in part because of narrow bounds on priors, assumptions of higher JWST duty cycles, their modeling of only in-transit observations, and/or their lack of systematic noise.
+Our choice to model a 1.5 R planet was motivated by the observation that planets of this size have bulk densities that are equally likely to indicate a rocky planet as one that is volatile-rich (Lopez et al. 2014; Rogers 2015). These two planet types have very different implied formation histories, with the latter more likely to have formed beyond the snow line and migrated inward. Yet we have shown a case where a water world is indistinguishable from a high surface gravity rocky planet with JWST observations (Figure 2), and many more similar degenerate planet pairs exist in our full grid. Therefore, independently determining the mass of small-radius planets is required in order to correctly interpret the composition of a planet's atmosphere and its formation history.
+We caution that JWST observations undertaken for atmospheric characterization of small-radius planets whose masses are unknown may not yield fruitful results. Further down the road, spectroscopic characterization efforts for directly-imaged near Earth-size planets are also likely to present substantial model degeneracies, absent mass measurements. In the JWST era and beyond, successful interpretation of exoplanet spectra for small-radius planets will therefore rely necessarily on the success of future precision RV instruments such as Carmenes, HPF, MAROON-X, NEID, Spirou, and Veloce.

+Magnetization jump in one dimensional J - Q2 model with anisotropic exchange

+We investigate the adiabatic magnetization process of the one-dimensional J -Q2 model with XXZ anisotropy g in an external magnetic field h by using density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) method. According to the characteristic of the magnetization curves, we draw a magnetization phase diagram consisting of four phases. For a fixed nonzero pair coupling Q, i) when g < -1, the ground state is always ferromagnetic in spite of h; ii) when g > -1 but still small, the whole magnetization curve is continuous and smooth; iii) if further increasing g, there is a macroscopic magnetization jump from partially- to fully-polarized state; iv) for a sufficiently large g, the magnetization jump is from non- to fully-polarized state. By examining the energy per magnon and the correlation function, we find that the origin of the magnetization jump is the condensation of magnons and the formation of magnetic domains. We also demonstrate that while the experienced states are Heisenberg-like without long-range order, all the jumped-over states have antiferromagnetic or N�eel long-range orders, or their mixing.
+I. INTRODUCTION
+Quantum spin systems play a very important role in condensed matter physics, because of their underlying rich physics, such as the spin liquid state [1] and the valence-bond solid (VBS) state [2]. Typically, subjected to external magnetic field, the magnetization process of the spin systems can exhibit anomalous phenomena. Among them two kinds of nonanalytic magnetization behaviors have attracted many interests. One is the magnetization plateau, which usually accompanies with the spin excitation gap and has been found in many systems, such as the frustrated spin systems [3, 4], and quasi-periodic systems with nontrivial topological property [5, 6]. The other is the magnetization jump, which exhibits discontinuity in the magnetization density.
+The magnetization jump was first proposed by N�eel [7] in the system with the Ising-like anisotropic exchange interaction, and then also investigated in various of lattice spin systems in different dimensions [8�19]. Most of these model systems involve anisotropy or frustration. Experimentally, the magnetization jump was first confirmed in hydrated copper compound [20], and then was found in many kinds of magnetic materials [21�27]. However, understanding the mechanism of the magnetization jump in an intuitive way is still in exploration. Many explanations have been presented for this issue, such as the magnetic domain reorientation [21, 22, 27], the spin-flop transition [9, 18, 28], the formation of bound magnon pairs [12], and the macroscopically large degeneracy at the critical value of the external magnetic field [11, 29].
+Recently, field driven phase transition has been proposed in one-dimensional (1D) J -Q2 model [30, 31]. This model was first introduced by Sandvik [32] to construct a spin valence-bond-solid (VBS) state without frustration. In the presence of external magnetic field, the numerical results by employing the exact diagonalization and the stochastic series expansion quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) method [33] show that the magnetization curve of the model displays a sharp jump from a finite value to the saturated magnetization density at certain critical magnetic field. In their work, the origin of the magnetization jump is explained as the onset of attractive interactions between magnons, according to the analytical results for two magnons on a ferromagnetic background. However, one notes that the anisotropic exchange effect, which is usually closely related to the magnetization jump, has not been considered in Ref. [31]. In the present work, we numerically investigate the one-dimensional J - Q2 model with XXZ anisotropy using DMRG method. We obtain a novel anisotropy dependent magnetization phase diagram with considerable physics. It shows that the magnetization jump behavior can be evidently influenced (either depressed or enhanced) by anisotropy. Interestingly, if the anisotropy strength g is large enough, e.g. g > 4 in units of J, a direct jump from a non-polarized to a fully-polarized state occurs. We emphasize that this direct magnetization jump observed in the strongly anisotropic case is found for the first time, which is absent in the isotropic one. We systemically explore the mechanism of the magnetization jump in the whole parameter regime by analysing the properties of N -magnon state, i.e. its ground state energy, correlation function and long-range order. Focusing on the excitation energy

+per magnon for N -magnon state and the corresponding excitation energy difference between (N +1)- and N -magnon states, we determine the critical magnetization density and external magnetic field at which the magnetization jump appears. Analysis of system's energy in the whole magnetization process indicates that magnetic domain forms in the jumped-over states. This reveals that the magnetization jump shown in this work is due to the formation of the magnetic domain, in which region all spins are in a uniform direction. This understanding is also supported by analytical calculations in some limit cases, e.g., g   and few magnon limit. In addition to energetic consideration, we further analyse the correlation function for each magnetization sector and different parameters. We find that while the experienced states in the magnetization process are Heisenberg-like without long-range order, all the jumped-over states have antiferromagnetic or N�eel long-range orders, or their mixing.
+The paper is organized as follows. In the following section we introduce the anisotropic J - Q2 model and the numerical method we used. In the section "Results", the magnetization jump behavior in different parameter regimes is illustrated and a novel anisotropy induced phase diagram is presented. In the section "Discussion", we analyse the mechanism of the magnetization jump both in the few magnon limit and the whole magnetization process.

+and g is the XXZ anisotropy. J is the Heisenberg exchange constant,
+
+Q is the coupling strength of the nearest pairs, and h is the external magnetic field. g = 1 recovers the isotropic
+
+limit. In the isotropic limit without magnetic field, the competition between J and Q terms leads to a ground state
+
+phase transition from Heisenberg ground state to the doubly degenerate VBS phase [34]. In this paper, we are more
+
+interested in the adiabatic magnetization process of the system subjected to the external magnetic field. To describe
+
+the magnetization process, we define the magnetization density as

+

+

+
+where L is the system size. It can be readily obtained that it is always fully magnetized (m = 1) if g < -1. On the other hand, g > -1 is a non-trivial case, in which we can analytically stress the behavior of m in some limit cases: m = 0 for h = 0 and m = 1 if h is large enough. In this work, we explore how the magnetization density m extrapolates from zero to saturation between these two limits. Of course, calculating m in a general value of h should resort numerical ways.
+In practice, we numerically employ the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) method [35, 36], which is extremely powerful for the one-dimensional systems. We perform the calculation for systems with different lattice sizes up to 240, to obtain the physics in the thermodynamic limit. The periodic boundary condition (PBC) is adopted and the DMRG many-body states M are kept dynamically [37] in order to control the truncation error. In DMRG calculations, the computational cost is in the order of M 3. There are two ways to choose M , one is to fix M , in this case the truncation error is different for different steps. The other is to fix truncation error, and in this case the number of the kept many-body states changes. In this work, in order to reduce the computational cost, we choose the latter, and dynamically control M up to 2000, to guarantee the truncation error  < 10-8 in the whole calculations we performed. In the rest of the paper, we use J = 1 as the energy scale and restrict Q and h to positive values.
+
+III. RESULTS
+We first revisit the magnetization property in the isotropic case using DMRG calculation. The magnetization process in different strength of nearest pair coupling Q is shown in Fig. 1 (a) and (b). When Q = 0, the system is the spin-1/2 Heisenberg chain, and its zero temperature magnetization curve is continuous and smooth. Here the small jumps and plateaus come from the finite size effect and will disappear in the thermodynamic limit. For a small Q = 0.2, comparing to Q = 0, m changes rapidly near the saturated magnetization, but still, goes smoothly to m = 1 at the same saturated field hsat without a macroscopic magnetization jump. Further increasing Q to 0.4, the magnetization density m changes suddenly from a partially-polarized value mc to m = 1, and the saturated field hsat is also larger than that for the smooth magnetization curves. This sharp jump of the magnetization curve indicates a

+ground state phase transition induced by the external field. The above results obtained by DMRG calculation agree with that in Ref.[31] well. The difference is that in our DMRG calculation, the zero temperature case can be directly addressed, while the QMC method needs an extrapolation from finite small temperature to zero.
+In the presence of a magnetization jump, the critical field hsat increases as the coupling strength Q increases, and the critical magnetization mc is smaller for a larger Q. However, as shown in Fig. 1(b), even if Q is sufficiently large, a finite value of mc does not decrease anymore and converges to a nonzero value. It implies no direct magnetization jump from m = 0 to m = 1 even when Q  .
+Then we extend our investigation to the general case with a tunable anisotropy g. Since g < -1 is a trivial case as mentioned above, we need just discuss the case of g > -1. In Fig. 1(c), we show the magnetization curves with a fixed typical value of Q (i.e. Q = 1.5) in several different values of anisotropy g. When g = -0.5, the magnetization density m increases gradually from 0 to 1 without macroscopic magnetization jump. For larger values of anisotropy g = 0.5 and 2.0, we can observe the shape jumps from a finite mc to the saturated magnetization density. Furthermore, when g is sufficiently large (g = 4.0), a direct jump from m = 0 to the fully-polarized state occurs. We again point out that this novel phenomenon can not be observed in the isotropic system.

+
+According to the different behaviors of the magnetization process, we can summarize our main results in a phase diagram consisting of four regions, as shown in Fig. 2(a). When g < -1, the system is in the ferromagnetic (FM) phase, and the magnetization property is trivial. When g > -1, the magnetization curve of the system has three different shapes: there is i) no magnetization jump (N-MJ), ii) a partially- to fully-polarized magnetization jump (PFMJ), iii) a non-polarized to fully-polarized magnetization jump (NF-MJ). The phase boundaries obtained by DMRG show a good convergence as the system size increases, indicating that these phases are stable in the thermodynamic limit. From these boundaries, we see that both the pair coupling Q and the anisotropy g > -1 can enhance the magnetization jump. Furthermore, the critical anisotropy g for both boundaries seems to converge in the large Q limit. We show a visual variation of critical magnetization density mc in {Q, g} space in Fig. 2(b), one can see that mc decreases with the increase of pair coupling Q or anisotropy g which means that the magnetization jump is enhanced.
+
+IV. DISCUSSION
+
+A. The magnetization jump in the few magnon limit
+
+Macroscopic magnetization jumps have been extensively discussed for various systems in the literature[31, 38� 40]. Among others, the attractive interaction between magnons plays an important role in leading to magnetization jump. For example, in the isotropic J - Q2 model [31], Iaizzi et al. found from QMC simulation a macroscopic magnetization jump. At the same time, their theoretical analysis for two-magnon case demonstrates that in this case these two magnons form a bound state due to an effectively attractive interaction between them. However, Iaizzi et al. also pointed out that the formation of a bound state between two magnons is not sufficient condition for the macroscopic magnetization jump, and furthermore, an effectively attractive interaction between the magnon pairs or a cluster including macroscopic number of magnons is needed [31, 38�40]. In order to demonstrate this, in the following we consider the few magnon limit up to four magnons.
+From Fig.1 we can see that with the increase of coupling strength Q or anisotropy g, the magnetization jump first appears near m = 1. Thus we can analyse the origin of the magnetization jump in the ferromagnetism background. In the system with up to two magnons, we can easily get the ground state energy of the system (details in supplementary material). For convenience, the N -magnon excitation energy is defined as
+
+E~(N ) = E(N ) - E(0),
+
+(3)
+
+where E(N ) is the ground state energy of the system with N magnons and without external magnetic field. The information from the value of E~(2) - 2E~(1) helps us to understand the mechanism of the magnetization jump in

+
+the few magnon limit. The negative value of E~(2) - 2E~(1) indicates that the effective interaction between the
+two magnons is attractive, and thus the magnetization curve exhibits a macroscopic magnetization jump near the saturated magnetization. In contrast, if E~(2) - 2E~(1) > 0, the effective interaction is repulsive and there is no signal of magnetization jump for the few magnon limit. E~(2) - 2E~(1) = 0 is the critical case, in which the two-magnon
+system is in an effectively noninteracting magnon ground state. In Fig. 3(a), (b), we show the results of the quantity E~(2) - 2E~(1) for the system with L = 128, which is an
+example size with negligible size effect. The magnetization density curve is smooth and continuous if the pair coupling Q = 0 because the system has no magnetization jump according to Fig. 2. Correspondingly, E~(2) - 2E~(1) is almost independent of g and always positive as shown in Fig.3(a). However, for a very small Q = 0.05, E~(2)-2E~(1) is positive
+for small values of g, but negative when g is large enough. As the anisotropy g increases, the effective interaction
+between magnons changes from repulsive to attractive. This means the magnetization jump can be induced by the
+anisotropy. The boundary between the N-MJ phase and the PF-MJ phase in Fig. 2 can be determined by a critical g when E~(2) - 2E~(1) = 0. From the curves in different Q, we can also conclude that a needed g for a magnetization
+jump is smaller when Q is larger, in agreement with the results by DMRG (see Fig. 2). Similar to Fig. 3(a), we show E~(2) - 2E~(1) as a function of Q for different g in Fig. 3(b). In the isotropic case
+with g = 1, E~(2) - 2E~(1) > 0 for small Q, but becomes negative for large Q. A magnetization phase transition
+from the N-MJ phase to the PF-MJ phase occurs at the critical Qc(g = 1) = 2/9, in agreement with the result in Ref. [31]. Notably, our large-scale DMRG calculation gives exactly the same critical Qc. Different curves for decreasing g show that the magnetization jump exists in the anisotropic case, and the critical value of Q is larger for smaller g. However, when g is too small (g = -0.6), the curve of E~(2) - 2E~(1) goes up as Q increases, and there is no cross with E~(2) - 2E~(1) = 0. In this case, the effective interactions between two magnons are always repulsive,
+and there is no signal for the magnetization jump from the two-magnon state to the saturated state. From Figs. 3(a) and (b), we can get the critical g and Q corresponding to E~2 - 2E~1 = 0. Thus we can obtain the phase boundary between N-MJ and NF-MJ phase as shown in Fig. 3(c). We can see that the phase boundary obtained in the few
+magnon limit perfectly agrees with the numerical results by DMRG calculation. We also notice that the asymptotic behavior of this curve can be analytically evaluated, namely, gc approaches to -4 + 7 /3 in large Q limit (details in supplementary material).

+(macroscopic number) magnons is necessary. We use N intervals d1, d2 � � � dN , which describe the distance between the nearest neighbor magnons for an N -magnon state, to mark the different configurations of the N -magnon state. Due
+
+to the periodic boundary condition, only N - 1 intervals are independent. Thus, to describe the distribution feature
+
+of the magnons, we define the magnon occupied volume as V =
+
+ i
+
+di[39],
+
+where
+
+the
+
+prime
+
+means
+
+that
+
+the
+
+summation
+
+discards the largest interval. Obviously, a small value of V indicates the preference of magnon condensation, while
+
+the large one corresponds to magnon separated case.
+
+Using the exact diagonalization method, we can get the probability P (V ) of the system with up to four magnons.
+
+The probability of the magnon occupied volume V for a state | is defined as:
+
+P (V ) =
+
+|Cd1,d2,��� ,dN |2 ,
+
+(4)
+
+ i
+
+di =V
+
+where Cd1,d2,��� ,dN =  d1, d2, � � � , dN . We plot the probability P (V ) for the ground state as a function of the magnon occupied volume V (see Fig. 4). From Fig. 4(a), (b) and (c) it is noted that all the lines have a maximum
+value, and we define the corresponding value of V as Vp. For the two-magnon system shown in Fig. 4(a), we can see that Vp = 31 when g < -0.156, in this case the two magnons tend to be separated and the effective interaction between magnons is repulsive. For g > -0.156, as g increases, Vp decreases to 2, which means the two magnons tend to condense and the effective interaction between magnons becomes attractive. For the threshold value of g = -0.156,
+P (V ) is almost flat, indicating that the magnons are effectively free. In Fig.4(b), (c) we show the distribution of
+magnons with three and four magnons. When g = -0.8, Vp = 34 for three-magnon case and Vp = 40 for four-magnon case. The large value of Vp means that the magnons prefer to disperse. With increase of g, Vp shifts toward small value. Up to g = 0.8, for three magnons case Vp = 5 and for four magnons case Vp = 7. This result indicates that the magnons tend to form a many magnon bound state.
+In Fig. 4(d) we plot Vp as a function of the anisotropy g. It is shown that the Vp shifts toward small value with the increase of g, which means the magnons have a trend to form a bound state with a strong anisotropy. Moreover, for
+all different magnons cases, the Vp has a dramatic drop for certain g, which indicates that the formation of the bound state is quite rapid. This result has a profound insight on the magnetization jump observed in the magnetization
+process.
+
+B. The magnetization jump in the whole magnetization process
+The analysis of the effective interaction between magnons in the few magnon limit already gives a clue to the origin of the magnetization jump. Furthermore, in this subsection, we explicitly investigate the magnetization process in the presence of the external field. In this case, the arbitrary N -magnon state has to be considered.

+
+N -magnon state subjected to the external field h is
+
+E(N, h) = E(N ) - h Stzot ,
+
+(5)
+
+where the magnon number N is equal to the number of the down spins, and Stzot = i Siz is equal to L/2 - N . For simplicity, we use E(N ) instead of E(N, 0) here and hereafter.
+Consider one N -magnon state as the ground state of the system at some external magnetic field h during the magnetization process, then the ground state energy E(N, h) should satisfy E(N, h) < E(M, h) for any M = N . Note the fact that for the model we investigate, the magnetization density m increases monotonically as h increases, and there is only one jump from some critical magnetization mc to the saturated magnetization. Therefore, the condition E(N, h) < E(M, h) can be rewritten as
+
+E(N, h) < E(0, h)
+
+(6)
+
+for M < N , and
+
+E(N, h) < E(N + 1, h)
+
+(7)
+
+for M > N . Inserting Eq. (5) into the conditions Eqs. (6) and (7), one can easily obtain the necessary requirement of the external field h:
+
+h < -E~(N )/N,
+
+(8)
+
+h > E(N ) - E(N + 1).
+
+(9)
+
+where E~(N ) is defined in Eq.(3). Combining Eqs. (8) and (9), one further obtains
+
+e(N ) < e(N + 1),
+
+(10)
+
+where e(N ) = E~(N )/N is the excitation energy per magnon for the N -magnon state in the absence of h. If the relationship in Eq. (10) can not be satisfied, the N -magnon state can never be the ground state during the magnetization process. This is the origin of the macroscopic magnetization jump, from the perspective of the energy. More specifically, we can define the difference of the excitation energy per magnon as e(N ) = e(N + 1) - e(N ) as the determination condition of the N -magnon state during the magnetization process. When e(N ) > 0, the N -magnon state can be the ground state, and corresponds to the continuous part of the magnetization curve. Oppositely, the N -magnon state with e(N ) < 0 cannot be the ground state, and corresponds to the macroscopic magnetization
+
+8
+jump. By taking N = 2, one can also understand the reason why the phase boundary between the N-MJ and PF-MJ phases can be determined by comparing the excitation energies in the few magnon limit.
+In Fig. 5, we show the excitation energy per magnon e(N ) and the energy difference e(N ) for Q = 1.5 and several different g as examples. Here e(N ) and e(N ) are numerically obtained by DMRG for each N -magnon states. In the N-MJ phase (e.g. g = -0.5), where the magnetization curve of the system is smooth and continuous (see Fig. 1(c)), the excitation energy per magnon e(N ) increases monotonically as the number N increases, as shown in Fig. 5(a). In this case, the energy difference e(N ) shown in Fig. 5(b) is always positive, i.e., Eq. (10) is always satisfied. We also notice that e(N ) > e(1) holds for all these states. It means that the energy of the N -magnon state is larger than N free magnons. In this sense the effective interactions between magnons is always repulsive.
+In the PF-MJ phase (g = 0.5), as shown in Fig. 5(c), as N increases, the excitation energy per magnon e(N ) decreases for smaller N but increases for larger N . As shown in Fig. 5(d), there exists a region where the energy difference e(N ) < 0 , and adding a magnon to the N -magnon state will decreases the average energy of the magnons. This indicates the condensation of magnons, and the formation of the magnetic domain in these N -magnon states. These states can not be the ground state of the system in the magnetization process, and correspondingly the magnetization curve has a macroscopic jump.
+Figs. 5(e) and (f) show the results for the NF-MJ phase (g = 4.0) with the magnetization jump from m = 0 to 1. In this phase, the excitation energy per magnon e(N ) decreases monotonically as the number N increases, and the energy difference e(N ) is negative for arbitrary magnetization density.
+We can further understand e(N ) in a more explicit way, by directly comparing the magnetization curve and the energy difference e(N ) as a function of N . Notice that magnetization m = 1-2N/L, so Fig. 6 (a) and (b) indeed have the same y-axis. As shown in Fig. 6(a), for a magnetization curve in the PF-MJ phase, there is a macroscopic jump from a critical mc to m = 1. Correspondingly, the value of e(N ) shown in Fig. 6(b) has a transition from positive to negative at exactly same critical magnetization density mc. The accordance of mc is marked by the horizontal dashed line. Moreover, by considering the critical case of Eq. (8), we can also get the critical field hsat = -e(N ), where the critical magnon number N satisfies e(N - 1) < 0 < e(N ).
+We can retrieve the magnetization phase diagram by plotting the critical magnetization mc in the parameter space {Q, g}, as shown in Fig. 2(b). When the magnetization curve is smooth and continuous, mc should be 1 in the thermodynamic limit, indicating there is no magnetization jump. However, for the finite size system, we have mc = 1 - 2/L because of a microscopic quantized jump. Nevertheless, the N-MJ phase denoted by the darkest blue is distinct in Fig. 2(b). For a fixed g > (-4 + 7)/3, the magnetization jump appears as Q increases to the critical value, and mc decreases with the increasing of Q. Finally, when g and Q are both sufficiently large, the system is in the NF-MJ phase with mc = 0. All these phases and the corresponding phase boundaries are explicit and clear.
+
+C. Understanding the direct magnetization jump in large anisotropy limit
+
+In the macroscopic viewpoint, the direct magnetization jump can be understood in an analytical and intuitive way
+in the large g limit. When the anisotropy is large enough, the system enters into an NF-MJ phase, as shown in Fig. 2. In this limit, being divided by g2 on both sides, the Hamiltonian described by Eq. (1) reads(details in supplementary

+
+Equation (12) describes a classical Hamiltonian without quantum fluctuation, then we can easily get the ground state
+energy and the spin configuration of the system. The unit element of this Hamiltonian is a bond with 4 sites, and
+the total energy of the system is the summation of all the bonds. A bond contributes negative energy -Eb when the numbers of both up and down spins are even, where Eb = Q/16 as the bond energy. Oppositely, when the numbers of both up and down spins are odd, a bond has positive energy +Eb. We have listed all possible spin arrangements of a single bond in Table I.
+Without loss of generality, we consider the system with even sites L with external magnetic field h = 0. The ground
+state of the system has magnetization m = 0 or m = �1, with ground state energy Eg = -LEb, since there are L bonds under PBCs. For m = 0, the spin configuration can be a 2-fold degenerated spin pattern |� � �  � � � ,

+
+or a 4-fold degenerated spin pattern |� � �  � � � . For m = 1(-1), the spin configuration can be |� � �  � � � (|� � �  � � � ). Introducing infinitely small quantum fluctuations, the ground state has m = 0 when h = 0, and will be fully-polarized under a small magnetic field. Thus, the direct jump is the only choice for the magnetization process.
+Furthermore, we consider the jumped-over spin states with magnetization 0 < m < 1. To minimize the energy, the spin pattern has to be separated into two regions: i) a magnon-full region with m = 0 and ii) a fully-polarized domain region with m = 1. Therefore in this case, all the bonds within the same region have negative energy, and only the bonds across the two regions can contribute positive energy. For example, the spin structure can be |� � �  +  � � � , and only the bond |� � �  +  � � � that connects the two separated parts of the system contributes positive energy +Eb. Therefore, in the large g limit, for all the jumped-over states with magnetization 0 < m < 1, its ground state has magnetic domains. For this special model, we can also conclude that all the states with magnetic domain can not be the ground state of the system. In other words, considering the magnetization process, all the states with magnetic domain will be jumped over during the magnetization process. We expect this point is not only valid for the large g limit, but also be crucial for a general value of g.
+
+D. Correlation functions
+
+According to the previous subsections, we found that the states with magnetization domain structure are jumped over during the magnetization process. In this subsection, we are interested in the difference between the structures of the jumped-over states and experienced states. To unveil the physics of the magnetization jump beyond the energy perspective, we investigate the spin-spin correlation function:
+
+CS (r) = S0zSrz - S0z Srz ,
+
+(13)
+
+where r is real space coordinate.
+We plot the long-range correlation function CS() as a function of magnetization density m = 1-2N/L in Fig. 7(a). Here we define CS() = [CS(L/2) + CS (L/2 - 1)]/2 to remove the strong oscillations when g is very large. For the N-MJ phase without magnetization jump, CS() is very small for all the magnetization densities, and its amplitude decreases as L increases (see inset). Therefore, in the thermodynamic limit CS() is zero, and there is no LRO in this phase.
+In the PF-MJ phase (g = 0.5), CS() approaches 0 for small magnetization densities, where the magnetization curve is continuous. For these jumped-over states at larger m, CS() is nonzero and show convergence for different system sizes. Therefore in the thermodynamic limit, the jumped-over state has AFM-LRO because of the formation
+of magnetic domain.
+In the NF-MJ phase (g = 4.0), CS() is nonzero for larger magnetization density. Specially, for m between 0.7 and 1, CS() is the same as in the PF-MJ phase independent of the system size, as these N -magnon states share the same domain structure. However, different with the PF-MJ phase, the spin-spin correlation function has large
+oscillations in the long-range limit for those states with magnetization densities from m = 0.1 to 0.3. The states
+near m = 0 have nearly zero CS(), there is no AFM-LRO or domain, but the spin-spin correlation function has long-range N�eel oscillations (details in supplementary material), as large g drives the system to the classical limit.

+V. CONCLUSION
+In this work, we systematically investigate the adiabatic magnetization properties of the 1D anisotropic J - Q2 model at zero temperature by numerically using the DMRG method. We have found that the anisotropy g plays a crucial role in the magnetization process. The characteristics of the magnetization behavior can be summarized by a magnetization phase diagram consisting of four phases: the FM phase, the N-MJ phase without magnetization jump, the PF-MJ phase with a partially- to fully-polarized magnetization jump, and specially the NF-MJ phase with a direct magnetization jump from non- to fully-polarized state, which does not exist in the isotropic J - Q2 model.
+We further study the origin of the magnetization jump. In the few magnon limit, we analyse the system with up to four magnons and get the clue that the attractive interaction between magnons may effects the formation of magnetization jump. For the N -magnon state, we point out that the origin of the magnetization jump is the condensation of magnons from the energy consideration. For the direct magnetization jump which is absent in the isotropic system, the analysis in the limit of infinite large anisotropy shows that the magnetization domain plays an important role in the magnetization jump. By explicitly investigating the spin-spin correlation function, we confirm that the spins condense and form the magnetic domain in those jumped-over states. A schematic phase diagram is shown in Fig. 7(b) for a fixed non-zero pair coupling: i) If the magnetization curve is continuous, the corresponding ground states of the system cannot have any long-range order; ii) The state with long-range orders (e.g. antiferromagnetic or N�eel long-range orders, or their mixing) cannot be the ground state of the system during the magnetization process, and therefore the magnetization jump arises. This reminds us the fact that the 1D spin-1/2 chain cannot have a stable long-range ordered ground state [41] with continuous symmetry breaking due to the strong quantum fluctuations. Therefore, the conclusion obtained here is not only valid to the J - Q2 model we study, but also should be a general conjecture for a wide range of 1D spin models and materials.

+A. Hamiltonian in the few magnon limit
+
+Note that in this study the macroscopic magnetization jump always happens from a finite magnetization to the saturated magnetization state, which is the ferromagnetic state. Therefore, to understand the magnetization jump in the simplest way, it is natural to consider the one- and two-magnon states on a ferromagnetic background. The ferromagnetic state, which is a zero-magnon state, is denoted as |0 = |  � � � . In the Following, we examine the ground state for the system in N -magnon sectors in the few magnon limit (up to N = 2), neglecting the contribution of the external field. For simplicity, we denote the Hamiltonian as
+
+H = HJ + HQ,
+
+(14)
+
+where HJ = -J i Pi,i+1 and HQ = -Q i Pi,i+1Pi+2,i+3. For the system described by the Hamiltonian in Eq. (14), with size L and periodic boundary conditions (PBC), the energy of this zero-magnon state is

+Then the ground state energy E2(k) of the two-magnon state with momentum k can be obtained by numerically diagonalizing the (L - 1) � (L - 1) Hamiltonian matrix in the basis set |d, k . In Fig. 8 we show the dispersion
+Ek(2) - E(0) of the two-magnon exited states for several different parameters. As one can see, for these examples the two-magnon ground state always has k = 0. Actually, we have carefully checked the dispersion for all the parameters
+we concern in this work, and the minimum Ek(2) - E(0) for each point in the parameter space always has zero momentum. Therefore, the Hamiltonian matrix H~ (2) = HJ + HQ - E(0) in the two-magnon basis can be simplified as

+
+In order to see the finite size effect in the few magnon limit, we plot E~(2) - 2E~(1) for g = 0.5 as a function of Q for different system sizes, as shown in Fig. 9. All these curves have a precise cross at E~(2) - 2E~(1) = 0 and a
+critical Qc(g = 0.5) = 0.386145 even for L = 8, which is the minimum system size to include all the information of the effective Hamiltonian described by Eq. (28). Therefore, the finite size effect in the few magnon limit is negligible.
+
+B. The asymptotic behavior
+
+From Fig.3(c) in the main text we can see that the phase boundary between the N-MJ and PF-MJ phases can be exactly determined by comparing the energy of one- and two-magnon excitations. The phase boundary obtained in the few magnon limit perfectly agrees with the numerical results by DMRG.
+We also notice the asymptotic behavior of this curve when the pair coupling Q is extremely large. In the limit of Q  , the one-magnon excitation energy is

+
+In this section we discuss the different behaviors of the spin-spin correlation function in the experienced sectors and the jumped-over sectors. Fig. 10 displays the correlation function CS(r) with different parameters as examples. In the N-MJ phase (g = -0.5), independent of the magnon number N , the spin-spin correlation CS(r) is negative for all the distance r > 0, and rapidly decays to 0 as r increases. In this case, a spin has anti-ferromagnetic correlation with
+its environment, and is screened due to the strong quantum fluctuation. The states in the experienced sector have no long-range order (LRO).
+In the PF-MJ phase (g = 0.5), the magnetization curve is continuous at some magnetization density, and then has a sharp jump. The blue triangle-line shown in Fig. 10(a) for N = 4 is the correlation function of an jumped-over
+state. In this state, CS(r) is positive when the distance r is small but negative when the spins are far apart from each other, which is the typical behavior of the system having two ferromagnetic domains. We also notice CS(r) has a finite value even when r = L/2, which is the largest distance possible for the finite system with system size L. In
+fact, CS(r) seems to converge when r is large enough. This indicates the anti-ferromagnetic (AFM) long-range order of the jumped-over states. The AFM-LRO still can be observed when N = 35, as this state is also jumped over in the
+magnetization process, as the blue triangle-line shown in Fig. 10(b). Further increasing the magnon number N , the

+Abstract
+The entanglement entropy (EE) of gauge theories in three spacetime dimensions is analyzed using manifestly gauge-invariant variables defined directly in the continuum. Specifically, we focus on the Maxwell, Maxwell-Chern-Simons (MCS), and nonabelian Yang-Mills theories. Special attention is paid to the analysis of edge modes and their contribution to EE. The contact term is derived without invoking the replica method and its physical origin is traced to the phase space volume measure for the edge modes. The topological contribution to the EE for the MCS case is calculated. For all the abelian cases, the EE presented in this paper agrees with known results in the literature. The EE for the nonabelian theory is computed in a gauge-invariant gaussian approximation, which incoprorates the dynamically generated mass gap. A formulation of the contact term for the nonabelian case is also presented.
+
+1 Introduction and Summary
+In this paper we formulate a gauge-invariant set up, defined directly in the continuum, for computing the entropy of vacuum entanglement (EE) for gauge theories in three spacetime dimensions. We apply this approach to analyze the EE for the abelian Maxwell, MaxwellChern-Simons (MCS) and nonabelian pure Yang-Mills theories. Our approach allows for the identification and clarification of the physical origin of the Kabat contact term for all these cases without invoking the replica trick and the ensuing conical partition function. The calculational framework is set up in such a way that it can be extended to more involved geometries than have been studied in the past.
+Quantifying the information content of gauge theory vacua has recently emerged as an interesting computational as well as a conceptual challenge. While it can be argued - in analogy with finite dimensional quantum mechanical models - that EE, defined as the von Neumann entropy of the reduced density matrix red is a reasonable measure of the ground state entanglement of any field theory, its definition and computation are far from obvious in a gauge theory. In a typical field theory without gauge symmetries (e.g a free scalar theory), even though the wave functionals do display entanglement, they, as well as observables, are expressed in terms of local fields. Thus, there is no conceptual obstruction to integrating out degrees of freedom for the "inside" region (or the "outside" region) to obtain a reduced density matrix for the complementary region. This can be done just as one would in a system of coupled oscillators, and this was indeed the approach taken in the early computations of EE for scalar field theories [1]. By contrast, the obvious physical degrees of freedom in a gauge theory are the nonlocal Wilson loops which can prevent a clean separation of the Hilbert space into "inside" and "outside" regions. Further, [1] used an explicit position space representation of the vacuum wave functional  for the scalar theory. Our explicit knowledge of gauge invariant 's is limited at best for gauge theories.
+Several different approaches to circumvent these issues have recently been explored. One could conceive of defining and computing EE on a lattice [2]. Though the lattice allows one to compute using quasi-local link and plaquette variables, the constraint of gauge invariance again impacts on separating variables into different regions. This leads to several prescriptions for "cutting" the lattice into "inside" and "outside" regions and they may lead to inequivalent expressions for EE. (See [3] for a computation explicitly devoted to these issues for the Maxwell theory in D = 2 + 1.) Further, a topological term such as the Chern-Simons term is difficult to realize on the lattice. An alternative method, the replica trick, allows one to work directly in the continuum by formally expressing the wave functional as a Euclidean path integral with specific boundary conditions at the initial and final time slices [4, 5].1 The -th power of the reduced density matrix red is formally expressed as a path integral over a cone using the replica method. However, a rigorous proof of equivalence of the entropy computed from the

+cone partition function (Scone) with EE (as computed from an explicit construction of ) is lacking for gauge theories.2 In a beautiful paper, Kabat [7] computed Scone for Maxwell fields which have D - 2 physical degrees of freedom. The computation in [7] showed that Scone differed from the EE of D - 2 scalar fields by an additional negative contribution; the so called contact term. The contact term and its possible physical interpretation has been explored recently [8, 9], however it is is not completely clear if it arises in computations of EE entirely within a Hamiltonian formulation [9]. A natural question to ask is whether the contact term is an artifact of the replica trick and whether it can be ascribed a physical significance without recourse to the replica method. In this work we address this question specifically in three spacetime dimensions and find that the contact term arises naturally from the phase space integration measure. The result can also be generalized - at least formally - to the nonablelian case and to more involved geometries than are analytically accessible by the replica procedure.
+For purposes of computing "half-space" entanglement between two regions I and II, our strategy is to decompose the Hamiltonian and invariant degrees of freedom of the theory defined in I II such that we have a manifestly gauge invariant formulation of the theory individually in I and II. It is crucial to the decomposition to note that the gauge transformations that do not go to identity at spatial boundaries must be regarded as physical degrees of freedom; namely the edge modes of gauge theories [13]. Such edge modes would be present at the interface between I and II were it to be a real boundary. The process of entangling I and II involves integrating the edge modes out of the physical Hilbert space, rather than just setting them to zero. This, in turn, induces a degeneracy factor in the reduced density matrix. Formally, this degeneracy is captured by the measure of the phase space path integral and we show that it accounts precisely for the contact term. This construction generalizes to the MCS and, to some extent, to nonabelian cases. In the case of the MCS theory, we also show that an additional contribution from the edge modes arises when the entangling surface has a nontrivial topology. Specifically for the case of a circular interface, the zero modes of the edge modes produce an additional topological contribution, which is identical to what is obtained for the pure Chern-Simons theory.
+To briefly recapitulate, the key new results of this paper are the following. We formulate the computation of the EE in 2+1 dimensional gauge theories in terms of gauge-invariant variables and apply this to the abelian Maxwell, the Maxwell-Chern-Simons and (approximately) to pure Yang-Mills theories. The origin of the contact term is identified as arising from integration of the edge degrees of freedom on the interface, rather than factoring them out as gauge degrees of freedom. The contact term is shown to be related to the interface term which arises in the Mayer-Vietoris type decomposition of the determinant of the Laplacian on a Riemannian manifold, namely the BFK gluing formula [10]. This is also the term which is important in capturing the diffractive contributions in the Casimir effect [11]. For the Maxwell-Chern-
+2However Scone is interesting in its own right as it computes the one-loop correction to the BekensteinHawking entropy of a black hole.

+
+Simons theory, with a circular interface separating the two regions of interest, we show that there is also a topological contribution which is identical to what is obtained for the ChernSimons theory modulo the usual regularization-dependent terms. For the nonabelian theory, we find a tractable regime where the EE for pure Yang-Mills theory can be computed, albeit approximately. It is possible to include the effect of the nonperturbative mass gap and also obtain an approximate expression for the contact term.
+This paper is organized as follows. In section 2, we collate and review some basic results for half-space entanglement for the massive scalar field in three spacetime dimensions, which we need to call on for later discussions. Section 3 is devoted to the Maxwell theory in terms of gauge-invariant variables, keeping track of the edge modes. The phase space measure of these modes is shown to account for the contact term after the modes are integrated out of the physical spectrum. In section 4, we do a similar analysis for the MCS theory. The contact term contribution remains the same as in the pure Maxwell case. The bulk EE is now given by that of a massive scalar. We also study the MCS theory with a circular entangling surface in which case we recover the well known topological term known to be present in the case of pure Chern-Simons theory. In section 5, we discuss the nonabelian pure-glue theory. Of course, this theory is not exactly solvable, and the computation of the EE, perforce, can only be approximate. We use the formulation due to [12] to obtain a gauge invariant truncation of the vacuum wave-functional of the gauge theory. This tractable regime allows us to work with a Gaussian wave functional which, nevertheless, retains information about the nonperturbative mass-gap of this theory. Specifically, we find that the mass-gap leads to a finite (and hence universal) term in the EE which is proportional to the area of the entangling surface. Interestingly, its contribution is negative, leading to a reduction in entanglement and provides a direct potential link between the IR properties of the gauge theory and EE. We also provide a general, although somewhat formal, expression for the contact term for the nonabelian theory. In the final section we comment on some conceptual connections between our approach and the replica-trick methods. There are two appendixes, one on a technical point on eliminating a certain field component and the other on the topological contribution to the EE for the MCS theory.
+
+2 The entanglement entropy of a massive scalar field
+
+Since many of the cases we discuss will utilize the EE of a massive scalar field, we start by
+
+briefly recalling how such a computation is carried out; for more details, see [5]. With a

+
+where  denotes the value of the field at a given time-slice, say, at t = 0. We can now apply the replica trick to the wave function. The first step involves giving (2) a path integral representation as [5]

+
+where we integrate over all fields from t = - to t = 0. Here we are using the Euclidean action, t for this expression being the Euclidean time variable. We simply regard the above as a mathematical representation of the wave functional without ascribing any fundamental meaning to the three-dimensional action appearing in the functional integral on the right hand side. Repeating this construction  times and integrating the degrees of freedom on the negative x-axis (out of the density matrix constructed from the wave function) reduces the EE computation to the evaluation of a functional integral for a massive scalar field on a cone with deficit angle 2(1 - ) [5]. More precisely, the EE can be defined as
+
+SE = ( - 1)W.
+

+
+The leading term here is the EE of a massless scalar field, which is proportional to the area of the entangling surface and is cut-off dependent. (In 2+1 dimensions, A is the length of the entangling surface.) There is also a finite term proportional to the mass. This may be unambiguously extracted by taking the   0 limit of SE(m) - SE(0). Notice also that the mass correction tends to decrease the entanglement entropy. Since correlators are of short range ( 1/m) in a massive theory, we may expect the entanglement to be reduced, in agreement with (8).
+
+We now turn to the gauge theories.
+

+
+3 The Maxwell theory
+
+Our approach, as mentioned in the introduction, is to cast the gauge theory entirely in terms of gauge-invariant variables and use it to calculate the entanglement entropy. The arguments presented, we believe, will help to clarify the role of the Kabat contact term. In three spacetime dimensions, the gauge field has one physical polarization, so that part of the entropy for the amount of entanglement encoded in the quantum vacuum wave function is identical to the contribution of a single massless scalar.3 However, the elimination of the gauge degrees of freedom and the factorization of the reduced phase volume into two regions can lead to a second contribution. We show that this extra contribution is indeed the contact term. It is related to the surface term in the BFK gluing formula for determinants of the Laplace-type operators [10]. This elucidates the nature of the contact term without invoking the replica trick and without referencing conical singularities.
+
+Since we will use a Hamiltonian framework, we start with the gauge A0 = 0. In two dimensions, the spatial components Ai and the electric field Ei have the general parametrization
+
+Ai = i + ij j,
+
+Ei = Ai = i + ijj 
+
+(9)
+
+(Since Ei = Ai,  and  are ,  in a Lagrangian description. But here we want to carry out a Hamiltonian analysis, so these are independent phase space variables.) Our strategy is to set up the theory in two regions I and II, with I  II being the spatial manifold. We then consider the theory defined on the full space I  II but write it in terms of variables appropriate to regions I and II. It is then easy to see that integrating over the variables in region II does not give the theory which was a priori defined in I. This discrepancy is due to entanglement. Alternatively, we can put together the theories defined in each region to obtain the full space theory via suitable matching conditions. This will also bring out the entanglement and the contact term.
+
+We begin the analysis starting with region I; the situation for II will be similar. Since degrees of freedom on the boundaries will be important, we start with a decomposition of the fields given by
+
+I(x) = ~I(x) + 0I(y) n � G(y, x)I
+I
+
+I(x) = ~I(x) + 0I(y) n � G(y, x)I
+
+(10)
+
+I
+
+Here the tilde-fields all obey Dirichlet boundary conditions, vanishing on I. The boundary
+
+values are explicitly shown as the fields with a subscript 0. They are continued into the interior
+
+such that they obey the Laplace equation, i.e.,
+
+2x 0I(y) n � G(y, x)I = 0, etc.
+
+(11)
+
+I
+
+3The last reference in [2] refers to this part of EE as the 'extractable contribution' where it was shown to count the number of correlated Bell pairs.
+
+6
+
+The Green's function G(y, x) obeys Dirichlet conditions on the boundary. The decomposition
+
+of the fields as in (10) follows from Green's theorem. We will also do a similar decomposition
+
+for the field ,
+
+I(x) = ~ I(x) + 0I(y) n � G(y, x)I
+
+(12)
+
+I
+
+A similar separation of modes for  will emerge from the simplifications which follow.
+
+The needed ingredients for the analysis are the canonical structure and the Hamiltonian expressed in terms of this parametrization (10), (12). The canonical one-form is given by
+
+A = Ei Ai
+
+=
+
+(-2~I) ~I + ~ I BI +
+
+I
+
+0I(y)M (y, x)I +  0I 0I(x)
+
++ 0I(y)M (y, x)I -  0I 0I(x)
+
+=
+
+(-2~I) ~I + ~ I BI + EI 0I(x) + QI 0I(x)
+
+(13)
+
+I
+
+where B = -2 is the magnetic field,  = niijj is the tangential derivative on the boundary, and
+
+M (x, y)I = n � x n � yG(x, y)I|x, y on I
+
+(14)
+
+EI(x) = 0I(y)M (y, x)I +  0I(x)
+y
+
+QI(x) = 0I(y)M (y, x)I -  0I(x)
+
+(15)
+
+y
+
+Notice that EI and -QI are related to the normal and tangential components of the electric
+
+field on the boundary, although not exactly equal to them. If we consider a large rectangular
+
+volume divided into two regions with a flat interface, then M = q2 where q is the momentum
+
+variable (wave vector in a Fourier decomposition of the fields) along the boundary and we have
+
+the identity
+
+xyM -1(x, y) = M (x, y)
+
+(16)
+
+In this case, it is easy to see that we have a constraint C = y EI(x)M -1(x, y) + QI(x) = 0. This is a first class constraint and so we can enforce it choosing a conjugate constraint 0  0. The canonical one-form thus reduces to
+
+A = (-2~I) ~I + ~ I BI + EI 0I
+
+(17)
+
+I
+
+The essence of the constraint on Q can be understood as follows. The definition of  via B = -2 allows some freedom, a new "gauge type " redundancy, since  and  + f give the same B, if 2f = 0. Such an f is entirely determined by the boundary value as in
+
+f (x) = f0(y) n � yG(y, x)
+
+(18)
+
+7
+
+It is then possible to choose f0 to obtain  = 0 on I, for the same magnetic field B. This freedom is reflected in the constraint and in our ability to choose the conjugate constraint 0  0.
+The canonical structure (17) shows that the phase volume is given by
+
+d�I = [d~d~]I [dE d0]I [d~ dB]I det(-2)I
+
+(19)
+
+The determinant is to be calculated with Dirichlet conditions on the modes. The Hamiltonian can be simplified in a similar way to obtain
+
+H=
+
+1 2
+
+(~I)2 + (~ I)2 + BI2
+
++
+
+1 2
+
+EI(x)M -1(x, y)I EI(y)
+
++
+
+1 2
+
+0I(x)(M (x, y) - xyM -1(x, y)) 0I(y)
+
+(20)
+
+The last term is actually zero for the flat interface in infinite volume (which is the case we will continue to discuss), due to (16). It is also zero for the interface being a circle. We display it here to show how there can be extra terms for interfaces with curvatures or for more general partitioning of the full space.
+
+It is also useful to write down the phase space path integral since it provides a succinct
+
+way to capture the effects of both the Hamiltonian (and hence the wave function) and the
+
+integration measure. For this, we first recall that, for a theory with first class constraints
+
+  0, and corresponding gauge fixing constraints   0, the phase space path integral is
+
+given by

+(21)
+
+
+
+
+
+where d� is the phase volume (for the full phase space before reduction by constraints) and {, } denotes the Poisson bracket (computed with the full canonical structure). For the Maxwell theory, in the Coulomb gauge with    � E and    � A, this gives
+
+Z = d� ( � E) ( � A) det(-2) eiS
+
+(22)
+
+where the action is given, for I, by A and H as
+
+SI = (-2~I) ~I + ~ I B I + EI 0I(x) + QI 0I(x) - dt H
+
+(23)
+

+
+We have already obtained d� and H for region I. With the fields in (10), the constraints become

+
+( � E) = (det(-2)I)-1 (~)
+

+
+(24)
+

+
+This is equivalent to imposing Gauss law with test functions going to zero on the boundary I. Using (19) and (20), the partition function (22) can be now obtained as
+
+ZI =
+
+d�I (~I) (~I) (det(-2))-I 1 eiSI
+
+= [dEd0]I [d~ dB]I exp iSI|~,~=0

+We can do a similar calculation, resulting in similar formulae, for region II.
+
+Now we want to consider the theory defined on the full space III and consider integrating over the degrees of freedom in region II. The resulting theory is to be compared to the theory intrinsically defined in region I, namely to (26). For the theory on the full space, we use the same parametrization of fields as in (9). Further we assume that the fields go to zero at the spatial boundary of the full space. This leads to

+
+On the full space, we have the theory for a scalar field . However, instead of just considering this theory, we want to rewrite the action (27) with the field variables decomposed into the two regions I and II. This can be done by writing

(Their inclusion will not change anything that follows, except for the definition of E in terms of 0. This is immaterial, we can just consider the redefined E as the conjugate variable to 0.) The action for , B will lead to the usual scalar field results, and since our focus is on the factoring out of the gauge degrees of freedom, we do not display the action for the  and B fields in terms of variables in each region. We will see how it reduces to a scalar field result.
+The phase space volume element in these variables is
+
+d�split = [d~d~]I [d~d~]II det(-2)I det(-2)II [dEd0] � d�,B
+
+(31)
+
+As for the expressions for the constraints in terms of these variables, the nature of the test functions is the crucial ingredient. Considering test functions f, h, whose boundary values on the interface are f0, h0 respectively, and with the tilde-functions vanishing on the interface, we have
+
+if Ei = f~I(-2~I) + f~II(-2~II) + f0 E  0

+
+(32)
+

+
+II
+
+For the theory on the full space, -dependence is eliminated everywhere including the interface, so, based on (32), we must interpret the constraints as
+
+( � E) ( � A) = [-2~I] [-2~II] [E] [-2~I] [-2~II] [(MI + MII)0]
+
+(33)
+
+Further, we can use the splitting formula (or the BFK gluing formula [10])
+
+det(-2) = det(-2)I det(-2)II det(MI + MII)
+
+(34)
+
+Using (31)-(34), it is then easy to verify that
+
+d�split [-2~I] [-2~II][E] [-2~I] [-2~II][(MI + MII)0] det(-2) eiSsplit

+
+(35)
+
+does indeed reproduce the partition function in (28). The calculations from that point until (35) were meant to show that the parametrization with the splitting as in (29) does capture the theory on the full space.
+Consider now the integration of the degrees of freedom in region II. From the point of view of the theory in II, the modes due to E, 0 are physical edge degrees of freedom, they are not considered as gauge degrees of freedom. This means that one integrates over only the ~II
+
+10
+
+and ~II without imposing the constraints which eliminate the edge degrees of freedom. The corresponding test functions f , h in (32) are taken to vanish on the interface, so that we get
+
+d�split [-2~I] [-2~II][-2~I] [-2~II] det(-2) eiSsplit
+
+= det(MI + MII) [d~d~]I [-2~I] [-2~I] det(-2)I 2 [dEd0]d�,B eiS

+
+and 0I while we have E, 0 in (36), the result is identical once the integral is performed; the
+
+result
+
+does
+
+not

+
+So the only extra factor in reducing the theory by integrating over region II, but keeping the edge modes for II, is det(MI + MII). This term arises from the phase volume and hence must be counted as a degeneracy factor due to the additional modes. The corresponding density matrix must be defined to account for the extra degeneracy as
+
+1
+
+ = det(MI + MII) ()red
+
+(39)
+
+where ()red is the normalized reduced density matrix for a massless scalar (from the -B sector) and 1 is a unit matrix such that Tr 1 = det(MI + MII). This degeneracy factor affects EE which will now be given by

The first term SE  is the contribution from the scalar field . The second term on the right hand side is the contact term.4 If we take the regions I and II to be the left and right half-planes, then MI  q2,
+4There is a slight abuse of notation between (36) and (39) or (40). The determinant in (36) involves a product over all time, which is not shown explicitly. This is because we have a factor det(MI + MII) on each time-slice, but, since the operator does not involve time-derivatives, this gives an overall integration over time in Tr log(MI + MII). The factors det(MI + MII) in (39) and (40) are at fixed time.

+
+Here we absorbed the Tr log 2 part into a redefinition of the cut-off and used a mass term (i.e.
+
+q2  q2 + m2) as an infrared regulator, although this is ultimately not needed for the answer
+
+displayed. The result (41) agrees with Kabat's calculation of the contact term. Notice that

+
+to the entangling surface, where d is the spacetime dimension of the theory.
+
+To recapitulate, we see that the "extractable part" of vacuum entanglement is captured
+
+by a single massless scalar. If one eliminates the gauge degrees of freedom over the full space
+
+I  II, and then considers integrating over the , B degrees of freedom in region II, then this
+
+is all there is to the entropy. However, if one keeps the E, 0 modes on the interface, since they are physical from the point of view of the theory in region II, then there is an additional
+
+contribution from the degeneracy. This reproduces the contact term obtained in the replica
+
+method. Although we phrased the arguments in terms of the phase space functional integral, the key point is the splitting of the phase volume. The factor det(-2), which may be viewed
+
+as arising from factoring out the gauge degrees of freedom, does not trivially factorize into the
+
+two regions. The "extra piece" det(MI + MII) is precisely the same surface term needed for the BFK gluing formula (34). We identify this as the contact term. Also, even though we have
+
+considered a flat spacetime with a flat interface between the two regions, it is clear that the
+
+result can be generalized to any bipartite partition of space, with the appropriate MI and MII.
+
+We will close this section with a few comments. In going from (25) to (26), we integrated
+
+over B. The resulting path integral is thus appropriate for describing the evolution of E-
+
+diagonal wave functions, since  is part of the electric field. One could also consider integrating
+
+over  to obtain a -diagonal representation with the corresponding wave functions as functions
+
+of
+

+
+(Here we consider the full space for simplicity.) Naively, it would seem that this does not lead to a scalar field result for the EE, since there are higher derivatives involved. However, notice that the commutation rules are
+
+[(x), (y)] = i G(y, x)
+
+(43)
+
+If we consider splitting the manifold into two regions, say, I and II, with the corresponding I and II, then this commutation rule tells us that there is some entanglement since [I, II] = 0
+due to the nonlocality of the Green's function; there is an uncertainty principle for simultaneous
+
+12
+
+measurements of  and  for far separated regions. This is true irrespective of which state of
+
+the system (or wave function) we choose and could be an additional source of entanglement
+
+beyond what is obtained from the wave function. Calculations just using the wave function
+
+are not adequate. To simplify the analysis, one option is to choose variables which give local
+
+commutation rules, thereby transferring all entanglement to the wave function. One such
+
+choice is
+
+ = -2 
+
+(44)
+
+In this case, the action for the -part reduces to

+correctly
+
+corresponds
+
+to
+
+what
+
+is needed for a scalar field. Thus the previous results are still obtained.
+
+It is possible to include edge modes on the boundary of the full space as well, although they are not important for the entanglement entropy. The Hamiltonian for the full space has a form similar to (20) (without the subscript I, of course). The term involving E is the term corresponding to the edge modes. Since the E at different points on the boundary commute at equal time, the E-dependent term in the Hamiltonian is like a free particle kinetic energy term and gives continuous eigenvalues. This is in agreement with [13].
+
+4 The Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory
+
+We shall now consider a similar analysis for the Maxwell-Chern-Simons (MCS) theory. The
+
+action is given by

+
+(46)
+
+where e is the coupling constant. While the Maxwell term is manifestly gauge invariant, the Chern-Simons (CS) term changes by a boundary term upon carrying out a gauge transformation. This boundary term will have a contribution involving the spatial boundary and two terms on the initial and final time-slices which results from the time-integration. The latter terms will be part of the Gauss law of the theory, while the spatial boundary contributions will vanish for those transformations which become the identity at the spatial boundary. We will consider only such transformations for the boundary of the full space, so that the CS term can be taken to be gauge invariant in the full space.
+
+As in the case of the Maxwell theory, we want to start with the theory defined on the full space I  II and write it on terms of variables defined on each region. Again, we choose the A0 = 0 condition. We can simplify the canonical structure and the Hamiltonian in the parametrization we use and then consider integrating out the degrees of freedom in one of the
+
+13
+
+two regions, say, II. Using variables in the full space, but split up as in (29), we find

+
+The last term in (47) is a canonical transformation, so it gives the well-known phase factor for the wave functions of the MCS theory. It will not be important for our discussion of the entanglement entropy. (In Appendix A we write down A and simplify it, showing one can choose 0 = 0. We have used the resulting expression along with (48) to obtain (47).) The Hamiltonian can be simplified as

+
+The volume element for the phase space can be obtained from (47) as
+
+d�split = [d~d~]I [d~d~]II [d0 d0] det(-2)I det(-2)II det M
+
+(53)
+
+The constraint corresponding to the Gauss law can be identified from (47) and reads
+
+f~I(-2~I) + f~II(-2~II) + f0 M 0  0
+
+(54)
+
+I
+
+II
+
+Thus, if we want to factor out  on the full space including the interface, the constraints are
+
+given by
+
+C = [-2~I] [-2~II] [M 0] � [-2~I] [-2~II] [M 0]
+
+(55)
+
+The first set of terms on the right hand side correspond to the Gauss law while the second set gives the Coulomb gauge-fixing conditions. The Poisson bracket of the two constraints is again -2 which may be split up using the BFK formula (34). It is then easy to see that the theory on the full space reduces to the -B sector, i.e., the theory of a massive scalar field.
+
+However, as discussed before, in integrating over the region II, the modes 0 and 0 become physical degrees of freedom. We integrate only over ~II and ~II without imposing the constraints which eliminate the edge degrees of freedom. Following the same procedure as in the Maxwell
+case, we find that we get an extra factor of det M which can be essentially interpreted as the
+contact term. Thus the EE contributed by the gauge fields is
+
+SE = SE(m) + Tr log(MI + MII)
+
+(56)
+
+SE (m)
+
+is
+
+identical
+
+to
+
+the
+

+
+When
+
+the

+
+(57)
+
+which brings out the massive corrections to the pure Maxwell case studied earlier. Most
+
+notably, we see the presence of a cut-off independent finite term proportional to the mass-gap
+
+15
+
+that scales as the area of the entangling surface. Tr log(MI + MII) is again the contact term, which is formally identical to what is obtained for the (massless) Maxwell case.
+
+When the boundary between region I and II has nontrivial topology, such as a circle, there
+
+can be an additional contribution to the EE, depending on the procedure of integrating out
+
+fields in II. To see how this can arise, we first consider splitting the fields as in (29), but keep
+
+distinct values 0I, 0II on the two sides of the interface,

+

+fields 0, 0 are

+(59)
+
+We can consider the symplectic reduction of this via the constraints 0I - 0II  0, EI - EII  0, which are the matching conditions at the interface. Clearly A reduces to the previous expression (47) in this case. The  0 and  0 terms all cancel out between the two regions. The phase volume also reduces correctly. From (59) we get
+
+d� = [dEId0I] [dEIId0II] det MI det MII
+
+(60)
+
+The Poisson bracket of the constraints is
+
+{0I - 0II, EI - EII} = MI-1 + MI-I 1

+
+so that the reduced volume is

+d� [EI - EII] [0I - 0II] det MI-1 + MI-I 1 = [dEd0] det(MI + MII)
+EII ,0II
+
+(62)
+
+Thus for a planar interface, we do recover the previous result, with the contact term as Tr log(MI + MII) 5.
+
+In the case of an interface which is a circle (or has the topology of a circle), the condition
+
+0I - 0II  0 is too restrictive. Since 0 is an angular variable, it can shift by an integer multiple of 2 upon going around the circle, so that we only need
+
+0I - 0II  0 mod 2Z
+
+(63)
+
+One way to enforce this constraint is to add a term Hconstraint to the Hamiltonian,
+
+Hconstraint
+

+
+[1 - cos(0I - 0II)]
+
+(64)
+
+5Since we have dd as well in the measure, dE  dd = d0  dd, so we can drop the   part at this point.
+

+
+with    eventually. The result for the EE will thus be of the form
+
+SMCS = SE(m) + Tr log(MI + MII) + SChiral(k)
+
+(65)
+
+where SChiral(k) refers to the contribution from integrating over EI, EII, 0I, 0II with the constraint [EI - EII] and the term (64). For the pure Chern-Simons case (without the Maxwell
+
+action), such a calculation has been done [15, 16, 17, 18]. The key result of that calcula-

+
+5 Yang-Mills Theory
+
+We will now turn to the issues in computing the EE for the nonabelian gauge theory in 2+1 dimensions. It is useful to start with considerations within a perturbative scheme. In this case, we can consider the phase space functional integral which is given in the Coulomb gauge by
+
+Z = [dE dA] (DiEi) ( � A) det(- � D) eiS
+
+(67)
+
+Similar to the situation with the Abelian theory, we can introduce the parametrization
+
+Aai = ia + ijj a,
+
+Eia = ia + ijj a
+
+(68)
+
+This is not the parametrization best-suited to the nonabelian theory, nevertheless we can, in principle, consider this as a starting point for perturbation theory. A mode decomposition for fields in regions I and II can be done in a way analogous to (10) and (12). The action will contain terms which mix the boundary fields and the bulk fields, and the integration over various fields will have to be done in a perturbative expansion. The determinants involved in the factorization of the phase volume, i.e., the extension of formula (34), will also have to be obtained via a similar expansion. To the lowest order, the results will coincide with the Maxwell theory except for a multiplicative factor of dimG (= N 2 - 1 for SU (N )), since we have dim G fields rather than one.
+This approach is clearly unsatisfactory since we do not see any nonperturbative effects in the entropy. Some nonpertrubative effects, such as the mass gap, can be included using the KKN approach to gluodynamics [12]. Again, we do not expect an exact calculation, but there is a qualified free limit of the theory which corresponds to the inclusion of the nonperturbative
+
+17
+
+mass gap but otherwise ignores the interactions. So what we need is a formulation where we can use the mass term and expand around this free limit to get further corrections. We shall refer to [12] for the relevant technical details, capturing only what is relevant for the computation of EE below.
+As usual, we start with the choice of A0 = 0. The nonabelian analog of the fields , , for SU (N ) gauge symmetry, are SL(N, C)-valued complex matrices M and M  which parametrize the gauge fields as
+
+A

+
+Under gauge transformations, M  g M . The hermitian matrix H = M M , which is in SL(N, C)/SU (N ), provides a coordinatization of the space of gauge-invariant configurations C and can be regarded as the basic gauge-invariant observable (the nonabelian analog of ). The measure on the configuration space is given by [12]
+
+d�C = d�[H ] e2 cA SW ZW [H]
+
+(70)
+
+where d�[H] is the Haar measure on the space of hermitian matrices H and

+is the Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) action for the field H. Also cA in (70) is the adjoint
+
+Casimir of the group, equal to N for SU (N ). As shown in [12], the SW ZW factor arises from the Jacobian for change of variables from A, A� to H. The Yang-Mills Hamiltonian can be

+
+The Hamiltonian involves the covariant Green's function G� and hence needs to be defined with
+
+appropriate regulators in place. We refer to the original papers [12] for these and other technical
+
+issues. For our purposes, it is important to highlight that the first term in the Hamiltonian
+
+acts as a mass term when acting on functionals of J. It is this term that renders the theory
+
+massive and its coefficient m = (e2cA/2) is the basic mass gap of the nonabelian theory.
+
+Furthermore, (72) is self-adjoint only with respect to the measure (70) and the coefficient of
+
+the WZW action is fixed by the requirement of self-adjointness.
+
+While (72) is not known to be exactly solvable, one can compute the ground state wave functional in a strong coupling expansion. This has been carried out in a series of papers,
+
+18
+
+and the resulting string tension compares remarkably well with lattice results [21, 22]. To the leading order in this expansion, the wave functional is

+
+m + m2 - 2
+
+(74)
+
+Focusing on just the quadratic part of the wave functional, we can rewrite it in more famil-
+
+iar terms. One can parametrize H as H = e and absorb the exponential factor involving
+
+SW ZW [H] in (70) in a redefinition of the wave function. After expanding to quadratic order

+

+
+The wave function (74) is square integrable with the integration measure for H given by (70), while the wave function (75) is square-integrable with just the Haar measure d�[H]. The same manipulations allow us to rewrite the Hamiltonian in terms of its action on (75) as

+
+The ellipsis refer to cubic and higher order terms in . Ignoring the higher order terms, it is clear that (75) is the wave functional for (76) . This quadratic theory is the non-standard free limit of the nonabelian theory we alluded to earlier. In this approximation, the gauge theory decouples into dim G copies of a massive scalar theory.
+Having reduced the problem to that of dimG copies of a massive scalar, we can borrow from (8) and write the EE for this theory (in the nonstandard free limit mentioned above) as
+
+A
+
+SE

+

+
+O()
+
+ 2
+
+(77)
+
+A couple of comments are in order at this point.
+
+1. The first term in (77) corresponds to the EE for dim G copies of the Maxwell theory, see the first term of the expression for SE in (40).
+
+2. Apart from the divergent 1/ term, we see that the three-dimensional entropy also con-
+
+tains a finite negative term -dimG (A m/12) that is proportional to the mass gap. This
+
+is reminiscent of the topological contribution to the entropy in Chern-Simons theories
+
+but, unlike the topological term, this contribution scales as the area. This result shows
+
+a direct link between the finite part of EE and the volume measure on the gauge the-
+
+ory configurations which - in turn - is deeply connected to IR properties of the theory.
+
+Specifically, m is renormalized in the presence of an explicit or induced Chern-Simons
+
+term by a finite amount [23],
+
+m  m + e2k 4
+
+19
+
+where k is the Chern-Simons level number. In theories with extended supersymmetry, the induced level number exactly cancels m and the mass gap is renormalized to zero [24]. (This is required by supersymmetry.) The finite term in (77) will thus be absent in such theories which are also known to be non-confining. This observation suggests a putative link between the finite terms in the EE and IR properties of gauge theories.
+
+As in the Abelian case, focusing on the gauge-invariant variable a, we get only the part
+of EE, the nonabelian version of the EE due to scalar fields, without the contact term. The
+wave function describes the vacuum properties of the scalar field part, so this contribution may
+be referred to as the contribution due to the wave function. The latter term was due to the
+measure factor from gauge-fixing. To see such an effect for the nonabelian theory, we must
+recast the formalism given here in the language of gauge fixing. As shown in [21], this can be done. Notice that we can write A = M -1(-HH-1)M  + M -1M , A� = M -1�M , so that we may view the fields as a complex gauge transformation by M  of the configuration (A, A�) = (-HH-1, 0). The Gauss law condition on the wave functions can then be used to eliminate E which is conjugate to A� in favor of E� in the expression for the Hamiltonian. This
+will involve some singular expressions which have to be evaluated with regularization and this
+leads to the mass term [21]. As far as the wave function is concerned, the physical variables one needs to take care of are E� and A. The canonical one-form for the theory is given by
+
+A = EiaAai = -4 Tr(E� A + E A�)
+
+(78)
+
+where E = (-ita)(E1a + iE2a)/2, E� = (-ita)(E1a - iE2a)/2. The generator of gauge transformations (or the Gauss law operator) is
+
+Ga = 2(D� E + DE�)a
+
+(79)
+
+We want to express A in terms of E�, A, G and a conjugate constraint which gives the required
+
+gauge choice, say,   0. The gauge of interest can be viewed as M  = 1, but this is highly
+
+nonlocal in terms of the original fields. What we need is a choice for which the commutator [G(x), (y)] is local, so that there is no additional source of entanglement.  = A� is possible, but here the commutator is D� (x - y) and it is not clear how we can split the chiral operator D� into contributions from two regions. So we choose  = DA�. The canonical one-form can
+
+then be written as
+
+A = -4 Tr E� A + G(x) (-DD� )-x,1y (y)
+
+(80)
+
+The phase volume then takes the form
+
+d� = det[(-DD� )-1] [dE�dA] [dGd]
+
+(81)
+
+or equivalently,
+
+det[(-DD� )] d� = [dE�dA] [dGd]
+
+(82)
+
+20
+
+The integral over G,  will have to be eliminated in the functional integral via suitable integration. This could be over a -function, or over a contour enclosing  = 0 after a deformation of the -contour into the complex plane suitably. In any case, we see that we get a factor det(-DD� )I in region I, det(-DD� )II in region II, and a similar term for the full space. Therefore, following the analysis for the Abelian case, we expect that the appropriate version of the contact term is given by
+
+Scontact = log
+
+det(-DD� )III det(-DD� )I det(-DD� )II
+
+(83)
+
+This result depends on the fields, and so, in the expression for the entropy, this will contribute with an averaging over the physical fields, i.e., the integration over H has to be carried out. We already have the mass term in this formulation, so we can consider the expansion of (83) around the qualified free limit mentioned earlier. The lowest order contribution from (83) is then the same as the result for (dimG copies of) the Abelian theory.
+
+6 The cone partition function and the contact term
+
+In this final section we connect our formulation of the contact term with the conventional results derived from the replica method. The ground state wave functional at a fixed time, say at t = 0, can be obtained as the functional integral of e-S , where S is the Euclidean action, over all fields for all t < 0 with specified fixed values at t = 0. For the Maxwell field, we can use the BRST gauge-fixed Euclidean action

+
+[A~�] = D[A, c, c�] (A�(xi, t = 0) - A~�(xi)) e-S
+
+(85)
+
+If we apply the replica trick directly to this expression (85), the EE would still be given by (4), but W would now be given by [7]

+
+(86)
+
+The first term is the gauge field contribution, while the second term arises from the ghost fields. The functional determinants above are to be evaluated on the cone and the curvature term R� represents a delta function contribution from the tip of the cone. Using the same techniques used in [7], one can obtain the following expression for the EE as derived from (86),
+
+SEcone = (d - 2)SE (m = 0) + SEcontact
+
+(87)
+

+
+The expression for EE in (87) deviates from the expression obtained from the massless limit of
+
+(7) due to the contact term contribution. To better understand this additional contribution it
+
+is useful to deconstruct the evaluation of (86), which is expressed in terms of the vector heat

+kernel

+Denoting the Lorentz indices along the cone (whose tip lies at the entangling surface) by a, b,
+
+the vector fields along those directions satisfy

+
+These modes can be constructed from eigenfunctions of the scalar Laplacian n. Specifically, the longitudinal and transverse components of Aa are given by
+
+1 n
+
+an,
+
+1 n
+
+abbn
+
+(91)
+
+respectively [7]. The direction transverse to the cone has no curvature contributions and the gauge field along that direction simply contributes one scalar degree of freedom to the partition function. After tracing over the a, b indices, the heat kernel along the cone becomes [7, 8]
+
+KV (s, x, x) =

+
+(92)
+
+In the second expression, we have carried out an integration by parts (and K(s) denotes the scalar heat kernel as before). The additional underlined term generates the contact contribution (88). Adding the scalar contribution from the direction transverse to the cone and those of the ghost fields, the above expression reproduces Kabat's result [7] given in (87). We are now in a position to argue how the above contact term obtained from the conical partition function has the same physical origin as the one discussed earlier (40). In our construction the contact term arose from unintegrated edge modes confined to the entangling surface. These are precisely the modes that the boundary term above captures which justifies our previous identification of det(MI + MII) as the contact term.

+Appendix B: The topological contribution for the MaxwellChern-Simons theory
+The topological contribution in the case of pure Chern-Simons theory has been computed using numerous techniques in the literature [15, 16, 17, 18]. We start with a brief outline of
+23
+
+the computation of the (topological) contribution to EE using the methods used in [15] which are closest in spirit to the Hamiltonian techniques employed in this paper.
+First of all, we make an observation which establishes a point of contact with the papers cited which use the Chern-Simons theory with a chiral field on the boundary. The ChernSimons term is not invariant under gauge transformations which do not vanish on the boundary. One can add a chiral field action on the boundary to make a gauge-invariant action SMCS = S1 + Sch, with
+
+S1 =
+
+d3x

+
+(99)
+
+This is invariant under the gauge transformation Ai  Ai + if (or    + f ),    - f , so that we may trade the field  for 0 by choosing a gauge where  is set to zero and retaining 0. The resulting contribution to A is of the form  0I0I -  0II0II which is what occurs in (59). So we can use techniques similar to those for the chiral field in [15].
+
+We consider the interface to be a circle of radius R, coordinatized by  , 0    l with l = 2R. Since  is angle-valued field on the circle, it is a map  : S1  S1. Thus, in a general mode expansion for , there is a part which is completely periodic and a part which gives a shift under    + l. Since we have a U (1) gauge symmetry, it is sufficient for ei to be periodic, so we can identify  and  + 2Z, which shows that there can be a nonzero shift 2Z. The latter may be viewed as  , or better as a nontrivial holonomy around the circle which can be accommodated by a constant gauge connection c.
+
+For the pure Chern-Simons action, we can drop the E-dependent terms in (59), (99). The
+
+canonical one-form for the Chern-Simons action (or the corresponding part from the chiral
+
+action (99)), is then

+

+
+We have added the constant flat connection c to accommodate the nonperiodicity of . (We have also absorbed e2 into , c. The new  in (100) is periodic, ( + l) = ( ). The factor of 2 for c-term is convenient for the following reason. The phase space function which leads to the shift    +  via the Poisson brackets defined by   is 2 . With the factor of 2 for c, this function becomes   + c, which is a covariant derivative of  with connection c.)

+
+consistently reinforce each other. This term has the same structure as the leading divergent piece of the gauge field EE. The second term is the topological entropy.6
+
+To apply this to the case of the Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory, we start with the Green's function with Dirichlet boundary conditions for the Laplacian on a disc. This is given by

+
+It is easy to verify that M -1 = M as in (16). Consider now the canonical one-form for the MCS theory given in (59), with the addition of the flat connection c; i.e.,

+
+(114)
+
+with EI/II = 0I/II MI/II �  0I/II With the mode expansion (102), we can verify that the terms [0()M (, ) �  0()]0() do not have a contribution from X0I/II. The "zero mode" fields X0I/II, N I/II are decoupled from the nonzero modes in the expression for A. For the nonzero modes, we have the straightforward identification of XI with XII. Therefore, the
+cancellations for the terms involving  0,    between I and II as mentioned in text (see
+(48)) apply and we can simplify A to
+
+A = 0IMI 0I + 0IIMII 0II + N IdX0I - N IIdX0II
+
+(115)
+
+The analysis of the zero mode part proceeds as in the Chern-Simons case, and we obtain the same topological contribution to the entropy. With the constraints 0I -0II  0, 0I -0II  0, we recover the arguments given in text in section 4, leading to the contact term as in (56).

+In this paper we investigate the role of additional light fields not directly coupled to the background during preheating. We extend our previous study that proved that the production of particles associated with such fields can be abundant due to quantum corrections, even for the massless states. We also obtain the expression for the occupation number operator in terms of interacting fields which includes the non-linear effects important for non-perturbative particle production. We show that adding too many light degrees of freedom without direct interactions with the background might attenuate or even quench preheating as the result of back-reaction effects and quantum corrections.

+I. INTRODUCTION
+Post-inflationary particle production is a very complex stage in the evolution of the universe that mixes perturbative and non-perturbative processes [1�5]. Usually it is divided into two main stages:
+a) preheating - when exponentially and nonperturbatively produced states typically correspond to the fields directly interacting with the inflaton, they do affect the mass term of the inflaton through back-reaction effects
+b) reheating (thermalization) - when the inflaton decays perturbatively and produced particles end up in thermal equilibrium with a well-defined temperature.
+Interesting is the question about the impact of the additional fields, especially light ones, on preheating. Their presence in the theory during [6�8] and after inflation is important for multi-field inflation models and for curvaton scenarios [9�11]. For recent reviews of postinflationary particle production see [12] or [13].
+In our previous study [14] we showed that light fields which are not coupled directly to the background can be produced due to quantum corrections and their abundance can be sizeable, even for the massless case. In this paper we want to develop these results addressing the problem of additional light degrees of freedom and avoiding at the same time the infinite growth resulting from the approximation used previously. The crucial difference between present considerations at that of [14] lies in the fact that presently the inflaton is massive.
+The outline of the paper is as follows. In Section II we develop the formalism necessary to describe the creation of particles in the presence of interactions, with and without time-varying vacuum expectation value (vev) of the considered field. In Section III we apply our formalism to a number of well-motivated cosmological scenarios, including a sector of very light fields. In Section IV we compare our results with the earlier ones [14], discuss the
+
+role of different parameters in the theory, summarize the paper and conclude.
+
+II. PARTICLE PRODUCTION IN TERMS OF INTERACTING FIELDS
+
+Usually the occupation number operator of produced particles is defined in terms of the creation and annihilation operators as Nk  akak. This definition assumes that produced states can be treated as free fields which means that their equations of motion are linear. However, in general fields associated with the produced particles interact with other fields which spoils linearity and results in the non-perturbative production. In that case it is not clear how to define the number operator properly. In this section we address this issue and describe particle number using the theory of interacting fields which takes into account the non-linear effects. To compare these results with a simpler theory of a free field with time-dependent mass term see Appendix A.
+For simplicity let us consider a real scalar field  with the Lagrangian of the form:
+
+L
+

+
+1 ()2 2

+
+1 2
+
+m202
+
+-
+
+V
+
+[, (other
+
+fields)],
+
+(1)
+
+where m0 is a bare mass of  and V is a general potential. Then equation of motion reads:
+
+0 = (2 + m20) +
+
+V 
+
+= (2 + M 2) + J,
+
+(2)
+
+where M is a physical mass that can depend on time 1
+
+1 In general physical mass can depend not only on time but also on space coordinates. For simplicity we consider only the timedependent case as it is more common in cosmological considerations.

+and should be a c-number, and

+J

+
+
+(m20
+
+-
+
+M 2)
+
++
+
+V 
+
+(3)
+
+is a source term that can be an operator. Formal solution of (2) can be presented in a form of
+the Yang-Feldman equation
+
+x0
+
+(x) = (t)(x) -
+
+d4y i[(t)(x), (t)(y)]J (y), (4)
+
+t
+
+where the first term describes an asymptotic field defined at x0 = t which satisfies the free field equation of motion
+
+0 = (2 + M 2)(t).
+
+(5)
+
+These relations are equivalent to the Bogoliubov transformation for the wave function
+
+(kt) = kaks - kaks,
+
+(12)
+
+where aks denotes the asymptotic value of the mode k, aks = ikn, okut.

+
+(13)
+
+Substituting (8) into the above results in a quite complicated expression for the Hamiltonian which can be simplified by choosing the Bogoliubov coefficients of the form
+
+In case that  does not have a vev, the (t) can be decomposed into modes
+
+(t)(x) =

+
+0 = �(kt) + k2(kt)
+
+(7)
+
+ with k  |k|, k  k2 + M 2 and obeys the inner product 2 relation: (kt), (kt) = 1.
+
+From (4) also the relation between two asymptotic fields defined at different times x0 = t and x0 = tin can
+
+be derived
+
+t
+(t)(x) = in(x) - d4y i[in(x), in(y)]J (y), (8)
+tin
+
+where we denoted in(x)  (tin)(x). Evaluating the inner product of the above equation with (kt): (t), (kt) , we can obtain the Bogoliubov transformation for annihilation operators [14]

+where
+
+k = k(t, tin)  ((kt), ikn), k = k(t, tin)  ((kt), ikn) (10)
+and the normalization condition reads

+
+where H is the total Hamiltonian, Veff an effective potential, V0 a zero-point energy and E is an one-particle energy. Therefore particle number is just the kinetic energy of the system divided by the one-particle energy.

+

+
+Nk+(t) + Nk-(t)

+
+III. NUMERICAL RESULTS FOR MULTI-SCALAR SYSTEMS
+
+To obtain numerical results for some specific models we follow the procedure described in Section II. We are especially interested in time-evolution of particle number density for each considered species:
+
+n(t) =
+
+d3k (2)3
+
+Nk V
+
+,
+
+(26)
+
+where V is the volume of the system, and in timedependence of the background (inflaton). We consider a time range and starting from the initial state we solve equations of motion for all the species and calculate their number density. Then we move to a slightly later time and repeat the procedure taking into account the backreaction of previously produced states on the evolution of the background (given by the induced potential coming from non-zero energy density) and all the species.
+Before we present numerical results for specific models, let us focus on a subtlety in calculation of the particle
+
+4 The zero point term can be regarded as the volume of the system because
+
+(2)33(k = 0) = d3xeik�x|k=0 = d3x = V.
+

+
+Therefore, we can also find distribution operators:

+scribe the time evolution of distributions nk = Nk /V for each type of produced states we need to determine
+the time evolution of bilinear products of field operators ^k^k , ^k^k and ^k^k . Equations of motion for these operators can be derived by calculating their time
+derivatives and using (2)as

+We assume that it is the field  that has time-varying vev

+
+ is another scalar field with vanishing vev that can be,
+
+for instance. a mediator field between the inflaton and
+
+the Standard Model. We also assume m m. The
+

+Appendix B.
+
+Asymptotically, when quantum effects can be ne-

+

+
+(33)
+
+where 0 denotes the initial amplitude of the oscillations,  (t = t0) = 0. When this trajectory crosses the nonadiabatic area for : |  | < m|0|/g, the mass of  becomes very small and kinetic energy of the background field  is transferred to the field . This results in the creation of  particles with the distribution [5]

+

+
+which corresponds to the linear potential acting on  describing the backreaction effects. Then trajectory of  goes back towards the origin and  particles can be produced again both due to the oscillatory behaviour of  and backreaction.

+is important to note that corresponding particles may be produced through an interaction with some other state coupled directly to the background that is produced resonantly. Furthermore, if there are many additional light degrees of freedom, one can expect that energy transfer from the background to the light sector during preheating might be sizeable. In this section we focus on such light fields and discuss the possibility of their production through the indirect interaction with the background field.
+We can describe such a situation by extending (32) with n light or massless fields n (m m, m) that are not coupled to the background at the tree-level

If the final number density of  is comparable to the one for  (n  n) its presence may even quench the preheating process by terminating the energy transfer. The reason that  can be produced so efficiently is the strong coupling between  and  that enhances the back-reaction effects.
+We would expect that most of the energy would be transferred to n fields as they are very light and the process is energetically favourable. But we can prove that the more light species we include, the larger the final value of |  | becomes and, in other words, the less energy from the background goes to the light fields, see Figure 4.

+the suppression of  particle production and also spoils the production of other species. Too many n particles produced through indirect coupling to the background prevent the production of particles directly coupled to the background, .
+It is interesting to investigate the impact of both couplings - g that couples  to  and the background  and y that couples additional fields n to , on the features of preheating. Varying the coupling y for fixed g leads to the conclusion that the initial stage of preheating does not depend on y coupling for  and  states. It only influences the final abundance of produced  and  states - the bigger y is, the smaller number density of these states we observe, see Figure 5. For  the impact of y is quite opposite - both initial and final stages of  production are strongly influenced by the value of y. This time the bigger y is, the larger number density of  we observe which also results in more effective energy transfer to the background as y coupling drops, see Figure 6. Also, for choices of parameters resulting in n  n we can observe quenching of the energy transfer from the background.
+Our study may seem similar to the process of instant preheating [16, 17], where the system of three fields background ,  interacting with the background and some other field  not coupled to , is considered. Instant preheating relies on the fact that  particles produced within one-time oscillation of  decay immediately to  before the next oscillation of . So  states can be

+IV. DISCUSSION AND SUMMARY
+In our previous work [14] we presented a formalism for describing particle production in a time-dependent background. It turned out it possesses one drawback there exists a secularity in the number density of massless states that can be a product of approximating the fields by their asymptotic values. In this paper we have developed more accurate description by expressing the number operator in terms of interacting fields. Figure 7 compares the two methods for the Lagrangian (32). The new method avoids artificial secularity caused by time integral of the interaction effects with the Green functions seen before. The old method seems to overestimate the production at the late stage because it includes "inverse decay" processes, whereas the new one takes into account mass correction terms. However, the results with secularity are still applicable at the early stages of particle production process.
+As the application of the new method in this paper we investigated the role of additional light fields coupled indirectly to the background during resonant particle production processes such as preheating. In particular, we considered models with a scalar field  interacting with the background  through its mass term and with n light fields n. In order to describe particle production in the system, at first we defined number operator in terms of interacting fields and then we solved numerically their equations of motion. In case of a few additional light fields, their production can be also resonant through the quantum correction to their mass term and their final amount can be sizeable. However, many degrees of freedom of these extra light fields can prevent 's and also n's resonant particle production. As a result, energy transfer from the background does

+Abstract--Non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) is a problem with many applications, ranging from facial recognition to document clustering. However, due to the variety of algorithms that solve NMF, the randomness involved in these algorithms, and the somewhat subjective nature of the problem, there is no clear "correct answer" to any particular NMF problem, and as a result, it can be hard to test new algorithms. This paper suggests some test cases for NMF algorithms derived from matrices with enumerable exact non-negative factorizations and perturbations of these matrices. Three algorithms using widely divergent approaches to NMF all give similar solutions over these test cases, suggesting that these test cases could be used as test cases for implementations of these existing NMF algorithms as well as potentially new NMF algorithms. This paper also describes how the proposed test cases could be used in practice.
+
+I. INTRODUCTION
+What do document clustering, recommender systems, and audio signal processing have in common? All of them are problems that involve finding patterns buried in noisy data. As a result, these three problems are common applications of algorithms that solve non-negative matrix factorization, or NMF [2], [6], [7].
+Non-negative matrix factorization involves factoring some matrix A, usually large and sparse, into two factors W and H, usually of low rank
+
+A = WH
+
+(1)
+
+Because all of the entries in A, W, and H must be nonnegative, and because of the imposition of low rank on W and H, an exact factorization rarely exists. Thus NMF algorithms often seek an approximate factorization, where WH is close to A. Despite the imprecision, however, the low rank of W and H forces the solution to describe A using fewer parameters, which tends to find underlying patterns in A. These underlying patterns are what make NMF of interest to a wide range of applications.
+In the decades since NMF was introduced by Seung and Lee [5], a variety of algorithms have been published that compute NMF [1]. However, the non-deterministic nature of these NMF algorithms make them difficult to test. First, NMF asks for approximations rather than exact solutions, so whether or not an output is correct is somewhat subjective. Although cost functions can quantitatively indicate how close a given solution is to being optimal, most algorithms do not claim

+
+to find the globally optimal solution, so whether or not an algorithm gives useful solutions can be ambiguous. Secondly, all of the algorithms produced so far are stochastic algorithms, so running the algorithm on the same input multiple times can give different outputs if they use different random number sequences. Thirdly, the algorithms themselves, though often simple to implement, can have very complex behavior that is difficult to understand. As a result, it can be hard to determine whether a proposed algorithm really "solves" NMF.
+This paper proposes some test cases that NMF algorithms should solve verifiably. The approach uses very simple input, such as matrices that have exact non-negative factorizations, that reduce the space of possible solutions and ensure that the algorithm finds correct patterns with little noise. In addition, small perturbations of these simple matrices are also used, to ensure that small variations in the matrix A do not drastically change the generated solution.
+II. PERTURBATIONS OF ORDER
+Suppose NMF is applied to a non-negative matrix A to get non-negative matrices W and H such that A  WH. If A is chosen to have an exact non-negative factorization, then the optimal solution satisfies A = WH. Furthermore, if A is simple enough, most "good" NMF algorithms will find the exact solution.
+For example, suppose A0 is a non-negative square diagonal matrix, and the output W0 and H0 is also specified to be square. Let the diagonal n � n matrix A0 be denoted A0 = diag(a0), where a0 is an n-dimensional vector, so that the diagonal entries A0(i, i) are a0(i). It is easy to show that W0 and H0 must be monomial matrices (diagonal matrices under a permutation) [3]. Ignoring the permutation and similarly denoting W0 = diag(w0) and H0 = diag(h0), then a0(i) = w0(i)h0(i) for applicable i. Such diagonal matrices A0 were given as input to the known NMF algorithms described in the next section, and all of the algorithms successfully found exact solutions in the form of monomial matrices for W0 and H0.
+One way to analyze the properties of an algorithm is to perturb the input by a small amount > 0 and see how the output changes. Formally, if the input A0 gives output W0H0, then the output generated from A0 + A1 can be approximated as (W0 + W1)(H0 + H1). It is assumed that is sufficiently small that 2 terms are negligible.
+For the test case, the nonzero entries of A1 were chosen to be the on the superdiagonal (the first diagonal directly above the main diagonal). This matrix is denoted as A1 =
+
+diag(a1, 1), where a1 is an n - 1-dimensional vector such that A1(i, i + 1) = a1(i). The resulting matrix A0 + A1 has O(1) entries on its main diagonal, O( ) entries on the superdiagonal, and zeroes elsewhere. It is assumed that all the vector entries a0(i) and a1(i) are of comparable magnitude.
+
+III. RESULTS FROM VARIOUS ALGORITHMS
+
+Three published NMF algorithms were implemented and run with input of the form A = A0 + A1 as described above. Algorithm 1 was the multiplicative update algorithm described by Seung and Lee in their groundbreaking paper [5], which was run for 106 iterations in each test. Algorithm 2 was the ALS algorithm described in [1], and which was run for 106 iterations as well. Algorithm 3 was a gradient descent method as described by Guan and Tao [4], and was run for 104 iterations. These three algorithms were chosen because they were representative and easy-to-implement algorithms of three distinct types. Many published NMF algorithms are variations of these three algorithms.
+The experiments began with the simplest nontrivial case, in which A is a 2�2 matrix with only three nonzero entries, with fixed a0 = [1 1] and a1 = [1], while was varied over several different values. Each of the algorithms used randomness in the form of initial seed values for W and H. The random seeds were held constant as varied. As a result, the outputs from the algorithms with different values of were comparable within each test case.
+For the 2 � 2 case, it is possible to enumerate all of the non-negative exact factorizations of A. Given that the factors W and H are also 2 � 2 matrices, they can be written as shown below.

+
+Recall that all entries must be non-negative, so from equation (5), either p or r must be 0, and either q or t must be 0. Furthermore, it cannot be that p = q = 0 because that would contradict equation (6), and it cannot be that r = t = 0 because that would contradict equation (3). Thus two cases remain: p = t = 0 and q = r = 0.
+Substituting p = t = 0 into equations (3), (4), and (6) and solving for r, s, and u gives

+
+Observe that these two solutions look similar. In fact, they differ merely by a permutation. In the first case, W and H have the same main diagonal and superdiagonal format as A, and can be written in matrix notation as
+
+WH =
+
+w0(1) w1(1) w0(2)

+
+(9)
+
+The second case can be written as (WP)(P-1H), where P
+
+1
+
+is the permutation matrix 1
+
+.
+
+All three of the algorithms tested gave solutions of this
+
+form 1000 times out of 1000, for each of several values of
+
+. The consistency of the solutions enabled further analysis.
+
+The change in the solution can be measured by the change in
+
+the three parameters w0(1), w0(2), and w1(1) (ignoring the permutation if present). Figure 1 shows the change in each
+
+of the three parameters from the base case A0 for several different values of when input into Algorithm 1. Each of
+
+the values is the arithmetic mean of the corresponding values
+
+generated from 1000 different random seeds. Of course, the
+
+precise values depend on the distribution of randomness used.
+
+But notice that as approaches 0, the values of the three
+
+parameters become very nearly linear in . The results for
+
+Algorithms 2 and 3 were very similar - they also showed
+
+linearity of the parameters in , with comparable slopes.
+
+However, w1(1) was not always linear in , even for small . In some cases, the difference approached 0 much more quickly.
+
+To see why this occurred, consider that the entries in H could
+
+have been chosen to be the parameters rather than the entries
+
+in W. Also, recall that in the base case A0, in which = 0, w1(1) = h1(1) = 0 since both entries are off the diagonal. Thus, when either is linear in , they are of the form x for
+
+some slope x. Since the solution is exact, it can be deduced
+
+that
+
+w0(1)h1(1) + w1(1)h0(2) =
+
+(10)
+
+Therefore, in the cases that w1(1) approaches 0 very quickly, since w0(1) approaches a large, stable value as approaches 0, h1(1) must be nearly linear in . So in the cases that w1(1) is not linear in , its symmetrical counterpart, h1(1), is. To simplify this complication out of the data, the parameters in W were chosen when w1(1) was closer to linearity in , and the parameters in H were chosen when h1(1) was closer to linearity in .
+Curiously, although it was possible for w1(1) and h1(1) to "split" the nonlinearity so that both were somewhat linear, this rarely occurred. All three algorithms preferred to make one of them very close to linear at the expense of the other. When w1(1) approached zero very rapidly, by equations (3) and (4), h1(1) = h0(1), and similarly, when h1(1) is negligible, w1(1) = h0(2).
+Next, different values for the entries of a0 and a1 were tried, so they had a range of entries rather than all 1's. The algorithms all behaved similarly; up to permutation, they satisfied the following formula
+
+WH =
+
+w0(1) w1(1) w0(2)
+
+a0 (1) w0 (1)
+
+a1 (1) w0 (1)
+
+(
+
+-
+
+w1 (1)a0 a1 (1)w0
+
+(2) (2)
+
+)
+
+a0 (2)
+
+w0 (2)
+
+(11)
+
+Note that equation (9) is just a special case of this equation
+
+in which a0(1) = a0(2) = a1(1) = 1. The same phenomena
+
+was also observed in which the algorithm usually made one of
+
+w1(1) and h1(1) be nearly linear in and the other approach
+
+zero rapidly, rather than having both entries be non-negligible.
+
+As long as the entries of a0 and a1 are roughly on the order
+
+of 1, the algorithms operated similarly.
+
+The next case examined set A to be a 3 � 3 matrix. Using
+
+similar logic to the 2�2 case, it can be deduced that any exact
+
+factorization of A is likely to be of the form
+
+ w0(1) 
+
+w1(1) w0(2)
+
+  h0(1) w1(2)   w0(3)
+
+h1(1) h0(2)
+
+
+h1(2)  h0(3)
+(12)
+
+Indeed, all three algorithms always gave solutions of this form.
+
+In fact, most of the time there were two more zero entries
+
+than necessary - either w1(1) or h1(1), and either w1(2) or h1(2). This is similar to the way that w1(1) or h1(1) often approached 0 rapidly in the 2 � 2 case. To note another
+
+similarity to the 2 � 2 case, whenever w1(i) was significant and h1(i) was not, w1(i) was very close to w0(i + 1) - in similar situations h1(i) was approximately h0(i).
+As a result, there were 4 distinct configurations of the
+
+nonzero elements in the solutions, as given by Figure 2. Note
+
+that Type IV appears to be an inexact solution; since it has
+
+positive w1(1) and h1(2), the entry at position A(1, 3) =
+w1(1)h1(2) in the product W H would have to be nonzero.
+However, both w1(1) and h1(2), like all entries on the superdiagonal, are O( ), so w1(1)h1(2) is O( 2), and is
+
+considered negligible. In fact, most of the solutions generated
+
+by the algorithms had nonzero values for entries that were supposed to be zero, but for this analysis anything below O( 2)
+
+was considered negligible.

This chart shows how often each algorithm generated a solution of each type out of 100 cases. Type II (in which H is diagonal) was the most common among all the algorithms, but by differing amounts.
+
+Each algorithm was run 100 times on the 3 � 3 input with w0 = [1 1 1], w1 = [1 1], and = 10-3. The solutions were categorized by the solution type in Figure 2. The distributions of the solutions by algorithm type are given in Figure 2. Note that some solutions did not have two negligible entries among w1(1), w1(2), h1(1), and h1(2), in which case the smaller entry was ignored for the sake of sorting - this accounted for about 20% of the three algorithms, the majority occurring in Algorithm 1. It is significant to note that even the solutions that didn't fall cleanly into a "type" still satisfied the pattern given in (12). It seems that an NMF algorithm should satisfy this pattern, but little more is required.
+Next, entries in a0 and a1, were changed as in the 2 � 2 case. As long as the entries were O(1) (as opposed to O( ) or O( 1 )), the behavior of the algorithms was similar.
+Finally, A larger than 3�3 were examined. Several different sizes of matrices were tested, ranging from 4 � 4 to 20 � 20, always keeping A, W, and H square, with positive entries only on the main diagonal and the superdiagonal. The experiments followed the same general pattern; nonzero entries in W and H appeared only on the main diagonal and superdiagonal. Using similar logic to the 2�2 and 3�3 cases, it can be shown that these are the only exact solutions. However, in practice, as the matrices get larger, exceptions to this pattern become more common, particularly in Algorithm 3. The general rule seems to mostly hold (over half the time) until A becomes around 20 � 20. Note, however, that because the run-time of
+
+the algorithms are cubic in the size of the matrix, at best, the sample size for large matrices is small.
+IV. PROPOSED TESTS FOR NMF ALGORITHMS
+Since all three algorithms, which cover a variety of approaches to NMF, had a lot in common in their solutions, it is propose that these inputs A could be used as a test case of an NMF algorithm implementation. In this section, it is proposed how such test cases could be executed.
+The test begins with input of the form
+A = A0 + A1 = diag(a0) + diag(a1, 1) (13)
+A is square, and preferably somewhere between 3 � 3 and 8 � 8 in size, although bigger inputs may be useful as well. The entries should vary between tests. Each test should start by using = 0 so that A is diagonal. The results of this test should have W and H monomial - only one nonzero element in each row and column. Ignore entries that are below O(10-10), for the entirety of testing, as any such entries are negligible.
+If W or H is not monomial, or if the product WH is not equal to A to within a negligible margin of error, the algorithm fails the test. Otherwise, the generated solution can be used to find the permutation matrix P that makes WP and P-1H diagonal by replacing the nonzero entries of H with 1's. Since A = WH is diagonal, WP is also diagonal, and since I = P-1P is diagonal, so is P-1H. Knowing P will make the rest of the testing much simpler since it is easier to identify whether a solution is of the form given above when it is not permuted.
+Next, run the test again using a positive value for ; = 10-3 seems to work well, although using a variety of is also recommended. Make sure to use the same random seeds that were used in the = 0 test to produce corresponding output. Then check that the W and H given by the algorithm are such that WP and P-1H have nonzero entries only on the two diagonals that they are supposed to. If this doesn't hold, changing might have changed which permutation returns W and H to the proper form, so check again; this happens more commonly among larger matrices than smaller ones. However, if W and H really do break the form, or A = WH, the algorithm fails the test on this input. Otherwise, it passes.
+Note that even widely accepted algorithms do fail these tests occasionally, especially with matrices larger than 8 � 8, so it's advisable to perform the test many times to get a more accurate idea of an algorithm's performance.
+

+V. CONCLUSION
+This paper proposes an approach to the problem of testing NMF algorithms by running the algorithms on simple input that can produce an exact non-negative factorization, and perturbations of such input. In particular, square matrices with O(1) entries on the main diagonal and O( ) entries on the superdiagonal are proposed, because they have exact solutions that can enumerated mathematically, or because they are perturbations of matrices with exact solutions.

+Abstract. Is it possible that the dark sector (dark energy in the form of an effective dynamical
+cosmological constant, and dark matter) has its origin in quantum gravity? This talk sketches a positive response. Here specifically quantum gravity refers to the combined effect of quantum foam (or spacetime foam due to quantum fluctuations of spacetime) and gravitational thermodynamics. We use two simple independent gedankan experiments to show that the holographic principle can be understood intuitively as having its origin in the quantum fluctuations of spacetime. Applied to cosmology, this consideration leads to a dynamical cosmological constant of the observed magnitude, a result that can also be obtained for the present and recent cosmic eras by using unimodular gravity and causal set theory. Next we generalize the concept of gravitational thermodynamics to a spacetime with positive cosmological constant (like ours) to reveal the natural emergence, in galactic dynamics, of a critical acceleration parameter related to the cosmological constant. We are then led to construct a phenomenological model of dark matter which we call "modified dark matter" (MDM) in which the dark matter density profile depends on both the cosmological constant and ordinary matter. We provide observational tests of MDM by fitting the rotation curves to a sample of 30 local spiral galaxies with a single free parameter and by showing that the dynamical and observed masses agree in a sample of 93 galactic clusters. We also give a brief discussion of the possibility that quanta of both dark energy and dark matter are non-local, obeying quantum Boltzmann statistics (also called infinite statistics) as described by a curious average of the bosonic and fermionic algebras. If such a scenario is correct, we can expect some novel particle phenomenology involving dark matter interactions. This may explain why so far no dark matter detection experiments have been able to claim convincingly to have detected dark matter.
+
+1. Introduction This talk is based on several loosely related pieces of work I did mostly with various collaborators. I will start with one aspect of John Wheeler's spacetime foam or quantum foam by which he was referring to a foamy structure of spacetime due to quantum fluctuations. So how large are those fluctuations? I will briefly discuss (in section 2) a gedankan experiment to measure a distance l and deduce the intrinsic limitation l to the accuracy with which we can measure that distance, [1, 2, 3] for that distance undergoes quantum fluctuations. 1 To gain more insight I

+from
+
+the
+
+gedankan
+
+experiment,
+
+is
+
+exactly
+
+what
+
+the holographic principle [4, 5] demands, according to which the maximum amount of information stored in a
+
+will use (in section 2) an argument in mapping out the geometry of spacetime [7] to arrive at the same result. When I generalize the argument to the case of an expanding Universe, we will see that something akin to a (positive) cosmological constant emerges [8] -- an effective dynamical cosmological constant that has its origin in the quantum fluctuations of spacetime. This dynamical cosmological constant will be shown [9, 10] (in section 3) to have the same magnitude as the one deduced by using unimodular gravity [11, 12] in combination with causal-set theory [13].
+Next I switch gear to discuss (in section 4) gravitational thermodynamics /entropic gravity, inspired by the work of Ted Jacobson [14] and Eric Verlinde [15]. By generalizing their work to our spacetime with positive cosmological constant , we will be led to a critical acceleration parameter ac of the same magnitude as the one introduced by Milgrom by hand in his formulation of MOND (modified Newtonian dynamics) to explain flat galactic rotation curves. But I will argue that ac actually is a manifestation of the existence of dark matter of a specific mass profile. My collaborators and I call that model of dark matter "modified dark matter" (MDM) to distinguish it from cold dark matter (CDM). [16, 17] Recently my collaborators and I have sucessfuly tested MDM (see Section 5) with galactic rotation curves and galactic clusters. [18]
+The take-home message from this talk is this: It is possible that the dark sector (viz., dark energy and dark matter) has its origin in quantum gravity. If so, then we can perhaps understand why the dark sector is really so different from ordinary matter. And if the scenario to be sketched in Section 6 is correct, then we can expect some rather novel particle phenomenology, for the quanta of the dark sector obey not the familiar Bose-Einstein or Fermi-Dirac statistics, but an exotic statistics that goes by the name infinite statistics [19, 20, 21, 22] or quantum Boltzmann statistics. [23, 17] However, it is known that theories of particles obeying this exotic statistics are non-local -- meaning that we cannot use conventional quantum field theories to describe these particles' interactions. On the positive side, this non-locality may explain why so far dark matter detection experiments have failed to definitively detect dark matter. Furthermore we expect that the extended nature of the quanta of the dark sector may connect them to certain global aspects of spacetime such as the cosmological constant and the Hubble parameter (as will be shown in Section 4).
+I would like to take this opportunity to make a disclaimer on my own behalf: In a recent paper "New Constraints on Quantum Gravity from X-ray and Gamma-Ray Observations" by Perlman, Rappaport, Christiansen, Ng, DeVore, and D. Pooley [24], it was claimed that detections of quasars at TeV energies with ground-based Cherenkov telescopes seem to have ruled out the holographic spacetime foam model (with l scaling as l1/3lP2/3). But now I believe this conclusion is conceivably premature when correct averaging is carried out. The point is that these authors (including myself!) have considered the instantaneous fluctuations in the distance between the location of the emission and a given point on the telescope aperture. Perhaps one should average over both the huge number of Planck timescales during the time it takes light to propagate through the telescope system, and over the equally large number of Planck squares across the detector aperture. It is then possible that the net fluctuations are exceedingly small, but at the moment there is no formalism for carrying out such averages. [25]
+2. Spacetime (Quantum) Foam and Effective Cosmological Constant  Spacetime is foamy due to quantum fluctuations. To examine how large the fluctuations are, let us consider a gedankan experiment in which a light signal is sent from a clock to a mirror (at a
+region of space scales as the area of its two-dimensional surface, like a hologram.[6]
+
+distance l away) and back to the clock in a timing experiment to measure l. From the jiggling

+

+
+We
+
+conclude
+
+that
+
+the
+
+fluctuations
+
+of
+
+a
+
+distance
+
+l
+
+scales
+
+as
+
+l > l1/3lP2/3,
+
+(1)
+
+where lP = �hG/c3  10-33cm is the Planck length. 2 [1, 2, 3]
+
+One can further show that the scaling of l given above is exactly what the holographic
+
+principle [4, 5] demands. Heuristically, this comes about because a cube with side l contains
+
+ l2/lP2 number of small cubes with side l. [27] Imagine partitioning a cubic region with side l into small cubes. The small cubes so constructed should be as small as physical laws allow so
+
+that intuitively we can associate one degree of freedom with each small cube. In other words,
+
+the number of degrees of freedom that the region can hold is given by the number of small
+
+cubes that can be put inside that region. A moment's thought tells us that each side of a small
+
+cube cannot be smaller than the accuracy l with which we can measure each side l of the big
+
+cube. This can be easily shown by applying the method of contradiction: assume that we can
+
+construct small cubes each of which has sides less than l. Then by lining up a row of such small
+
+cubes along a side of the big cube from end to end, and by counting the number of such small
+
+cubes, we would be able to measure that side (of length l) of the big cube to a better accuracy
+
+than l. But, by definition, l is the best accuracy with which we can measure l. The ensuing
+
+contradiction is evaded by the realization that each of the smallest cubes (that can be put inside
+
+the big cube) indeed measures l by l by l. Thus, the number of degrees of freedom I in the
+
+region (measuring l by l by l) is given by l3/l3, which, according to the holographic principle,
+
+is
+
+I < l2/lp2.
+
+(2)
+
+It follows that l is bounded (from below) by the cube root of llP2 , the same result as found above in the gedanken experiment argument.
+
+We can rederive the scaling of l by another argument. Let us consider mapping out the geometry of spacetime for a spherical volume of radius l over the amount of time 2l/c it takes light to cross the volume.[7] One way to do this is to fill the space with clocks, exchanging signals with the other clocks and measuring the signals' times of arrival. The total number of operations, including the ticks of the clocks and the measurements of signals, is bounded by the Margolus-Levitin theorem [28] which stipulates that the rate of operations cannot exceed the amount of energy E that is available for the operation divided by �h/2. This theorem, combined with the bound on the total mass of the clocks to prevent black hole formation, implies that the total number of operations that can occur in this spacetime volume is no bigger than 2(l/lP )2/. To maximize spatial resolution, each clock must tick only once during the entire time period. If we regard the operations as partitioning the spacetime volume into "cells", then on the average each cell occupies a spatial volume no less than  l3/(l2/lP2 ) = llP2 , yielding an
+
+2 Now the amount of fluctuations in the distance l can be thought of as an accumulation of the l/lP individual
+
+fluctuations each by an amount plus or minus lP . But note that the individual fluctuations cannot be completely
+
+random (as opposed to random-walk); actually successive fluctuations must be entangled and somewhat anti-
+
+correlated (i.e., a plus fluctuation is slightly more likely followed by a minus fluctuation and vice versa), in order
+
+that
+
+together
+
+they
+
+produce
+
+a
+
+total
+
+fluctuation
+
+less
+
+than

+
+random-walk
+
+model
+
+(for
+
+which
+
+l
+

+
+
+l1/2 lP1/2 .)
+
+[26] This small amount of anti-correlation between successive fluctuations (corresponding to what statisticians
+
+call

+
+Brownian
+

+
+with

+
+average separation between neighboring cells no less than  l1/3lP2/3. [8] This spatial separation can be interpreted as the average minimum uncertainty in the measurement of a distance l, that is, l > l1/3lP2/3, in agreement with the result found in the gedanken experiment to measure the fluctuation of a distance l.
+
+We make two observations: [29, 23] First, maximal spatial resolution (corresponding to
+l  l1/3lP2/3) is possible only if the maximum energy density   (llP )-2 is available to map the geometry of the spacetime region, without causing a gravitational collapse. Secondly, since, on the average, each cell occupies a spatial volume of llP2 , a spatial region of size l can contain no more than  l3/(llP2 ) = (l/lP )2 cells. Hence, this result for spacetime fluctuations corresponds to the case of maximum number of bits of information l2/lP2 in a spatial region of size l, that is allowed by the holographic principle[4, 5].
+
+It is straightforward to generalize [29] the above discussion for a static spacetime region with low spatial curvature to the case of an expanding universe by the substitution of l by H-1 in the expressions for energy and entropy densities, where H is the Hubble parameter. (Henceforth we adopt c = 1 = h� for convenience unless stated otherwise.) Thus, applied to cosmology, the above argument leads to the prediction that (1) the cosmic energy density has the critical value
+
+  (H/lP )2,
+
+(3)
+
+and (2) the universe of Hubble size RH contains I  (RH /lp)2 bits of information. (For the present cosmic epoch we have I  10122.) It follows that the average energy carried by each particle/bit is RH3 /I  RH-1. Such long-wavelength constituents of dark energy give rise to a more or less uniformly distributed cosmic energy density and act as a dynamical cosmological constant with the observed small but nonzero value
+
+  3H2.
+
+(4)
+
+3. Cosmological Constant  via Unimodular Gravity and Causal-set Theory The dynamical cosmological constant we have just obtained will be seen to play an important role in our subsequent discussions. So let us "rederive" it by using another method based on quantum gravity. The idea makes use of the theory of unimodular gravity[11, 9] (which can be regarded as the ordinary theory of gravity except for the way the cosmological constant  arises in the theory). But here we will use the (generalized) version of unimodular gravity given by the Henneaux and Teitelboim action[12]
+
+Sunimod
+
+=
+
+-
+
+1 16G
+
+[g(R + 2) - 2�T �](d3x)dt.
+
+(5)
+
+One of its equations of motion is g = �T �, the generalized unimodular condition, with g given in terms of the auxiliary field T �. Note that, in this theory, /G plays the role of "momentum" conjugate to the "coordinate" d3xT0 which can be identified, with the aid of the generalized
+
+unimodular condition, as the spacetime volume V . Hence /G and V are conjugate to each
+
+other. It follows that their fluctuations obey a Heisenberg-type quantum uncertainty principle,
+
+V/G  1.
+
+(6)
+
+Next we borrow an argument due to Sorkin[13], drawn from the causal-set theory, which stipulates that continous geometries in classical gravity should be replaced by "causal-sets", the discrete substratum of spacetime. In the framework of the causal-set theory, the fluctuation in
+
+ the number of elements N making up the set is of the Poisson type, i.e., N  N . For a causal
+
+set, the spacetime volume V becomes lP4 N . It follows that

+ lP4 N

+
+
+lP4
+
+ N
+
+
+

+
+ V
+
+=
+
+ G V.
+
+(7)
+
+Putting Eqs. (6) and (7) together yields a minimum uncertainty in  of   V -1/2. This cosmological constant, like the one given by Eq. (4) from a heuristic quantum mechanical consideration, is finite and is to be identified with the fully renormalized cosmological constant from a quantum field-theoretic argument given by the path integration method, to which we turn next.
+
+Following an argument due to Baum[30], Hawking[31], and Adler[32], one can now plausibly
+argue [9] that, in the framework of unimodular gravity,  vanishes to the lowest order of
+approximation and that it is positive if it is not zero. The argument goes as follows: Consider the vacuum functional for unimodular gravity given by path integrations over T �, g� , the matter fields (represented by ), and :
+
+ZMinkowski = d�() d[]d[g� ] d[T �]exp {-i[Sunimod + SM (, g� )]} ,
+
+(8)
+
+where SM stands for the contribution from matter (including radiation) fields (and d�() denotes the measure of the  integration). [32] The integration over T � yields (�), which implies that  is spacetime-independent (befiting its role as the cosmological constant). A Wick rotation
+
+now allows us to study the Euclidean vacuum functional Z. The integrations over g� and  give
+
+exp[-S(g� , )] where g� and  are the background fields which minimize the effective action

+for S Note
+
+yields a that (1)
+
+Lagrangian whose first two terms are  now denotes the fully renormalized
+
+the Einsteincosmological
+
+constant after integrations over all other fields have been carried out; (2) the Einstein-Hilbert terms are exactly the first two terms in Eq. (5), hence the fluctuation   V -1/2 we found
+
+above now applies to the renormalized . Next we can make a change of variable from the
+
+original (bare)  to the renormalized  for the integration in Eq. (8). Let us assume that for
+
+the present and recent cosmic eras,  is essentially in the ground state, then it is reasonable
+
+to neglect the effects of . [33]. To continue, we follow Baum[30] and Hawking[31] to evaluate
+
+S(g� , 0). For negative , S is positive; for positive , one finds S(g� , 0) = -3/G, so that
+
+Z  d�()exp(3/G).
+
+(9)
+
+This implies that the observed cosmological constant in the present and recent eras is essentially zero (or more accurately, very small but positive). So we [9] conclude that  is positive and it fluctuates about zero with a magnitude of
+
+  V -1/2  RH-2,
+
+(10)
+
+where, we recall, RH is the Hubble radius of the Universe, contributing an energy density

+
+4. From Cosmological Constant  to Modified Dark Matter (MDM) The dynamical cosmological constant (originated from quantum fluctuations of spacetime) can now be shown to give rise to a critical acceleration parameter in galactic dynamics. The argument [16] is based on a simple generalization of E. Verlinde's recent proposal of entropic gravity [15, 14] for  = 0 to the case of de-Sitter space with positive . Let us first review Verlinde's derivation
+
+(or prescription, if you like) of Newton's second law F = ma. Consider a particle with mass m
+
+approaching a holographic screen at temperature T . Using the first law of thermodynamics to
+

+
+cosmological constant , the net Unruh-Hawking temperature, [35, 36, 37] as measured by a
+
+non-inertial observer with acceleration a relative to an inertial observer, is

+
+with [38]
+
+a~ = a2 + a20 - a0,
+
+(12)
+
+where a0  /3. Hence the entropic force (in de-Sitter space) is given by the replacement of T and a by T~ and a~ respectively, leading to
+
+F = m[ a2 + a20 - a0].
+
+(13)
+
+For a  a0, we have F/m  a which gives a = aN  GM/r2, the familiar Newtonian value
+
+for the acceleration due to the source M .
+
+But for a
+
+
+
+a0,

+
+so
+
+the
+
+terminal
+
+velocity v of the test mass m in a circular motion with radius r should be determined from
+
+ma2/(2a0) = mv2/r. In this small acceleration regime, the observed flat galactic rotation curves
+
+(v being independent of r) now require a 
+
+1
+2aN a30 / 4 .
+
+But that means F  maN ac .
+
+This is the celebrated modified Newtonian dynamics (MoND) scaling [39, 40, 41] discovered by
+
+Milgrom who introduced the critical acceleration parameter
+
+ac = a0/(2) = cH/(2)
+
+(14)
+
+by hand to phenomenologically explain the observed flat galactic rotation curves. Thus, we
+have recovered MoND with the correct magnitude for the critical galactic acceleration parameter ac  10-8cm/s2. From our perspective, MoND is a classical phenomenological consequence of quantum gravity (with the h� dependence in T  �h and S  1/�h cancelled out in the product
+T S for the entropic force). [16] As a bonus, we have also recovered the observed Tully-Fisher relation (v4  M ).
+
+Having generalized Newton's 2nd law, we [16] can now follow the second half of Verlinde's
+
+argument [15] to generalize Newton's law of gravity a = GM/r2. Verlinde derives Newton's
+
+law of gravity by considering an imaginary quasi-local (spherical) holographic screen of area

+
+The
+
+generalized
+
+Newton's
+
+law of gravity (for the case of de-Sitter space) is obtained by the replacement of T and M by T~
+
+and M~ respectively, so that we get
+
+2kBT~ = G M~ /r2,
+
+(15)
+
+where
+
+M~ = M + Md
+
+(16)
+
+represents the total mass enclosed within the volume V = 4r3/3, with Md being some unknown mass, i.e., dark matter. For a  a0, consistency with the Newtonian force law a  aN implies

+Md  0. But for a  a0, consistency with the condition a  2aN a30/ 4 requires 3

+
+(17)
+
+This yields the dark matter mass density d profile given by d(r)  M 1/2(rv)(/G)1/2/r2, for an ordinary (visible) matter source of radius rv with total mass M (rv). 4
+
+Thus dark matter indeed exists! And the MoNDian force law derived above, at the galactic scale, is simply a manifestation of dark matter! [16, 42] Dark matter of this kind can behave as if there is no dark matter but MoND. Therefore, we used to call it "MoNDian dark matter" which, to some people sounds like an oxymoron. Now we call it "modified dark matter". Note that the dark matter profile we have obtained relates, at the galactic scale, dark matter (Md), dark energy () and ordinary matter (M ) to one another.

+Rotation curves predicted by MDM for NGC 4217, a typical HSB galaxy, and NGC 3917, a typical LSB galaxy in the sample are shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 respectively. (See Ref. [18] for the rotation curves for the other 28 galaxies.)
+
+In these figures, observed rotation curves are depicted as filled circles with error bars, and for the two curves at the bottom, the dotted and dash-dotted lines show the stellar and interstellar gas rotation curves, respectively. The solid lines and dashed lines are rotation curves predicted by MDM and the standard cold dark matter (CDM) paradigm respectively. For the CDM fits, we use the Navarro, Frenk & White (NFW) [44] density profile, employing three free parameters (one of which is the mass-to-light ratio.) It is fair to say that both models fit the data well;

+Sanders [45] studied the virial discrepancy (i.e., the discrepancy between the observed mass

+
+MMOND/Mobs  2.1, we conclude that, at the cluster scale, MDM is superior to MOND.
+
+7 For completeness we mention that previously we have used  = 0 when fitting galactic rotation curves. But since now the galaxy cluster sample in our current study implies   0.5, we (in unpublished work [18]) refit the galaxy rotation curves using  = 0.5 and find the fits are nearly identical with a reduction in mass-to-light ratios of about 35%.
+
+6. The Dark Sector and Infinite Statistics What is the essential difference between ordinary matter and dark energy from our perspective? To find that out, let us recall our discussions in Section 2, and liken the quanta of dark energy to a perfect gas of N particles obeying Boltzmann statistics at temperature T in a volume V . For the problem at hand, as the lowest-order approximation, we can neglect the contributions from matter and radiation to the cosmic energy density for the recent and present eras. Thus let us take V  RH3 , T  RH-1, and N  (RH /lP )2. A standard calculation (for the relativistic case) yields the partition function ZN = (N !)-1(V /3)N , where  = ()2/3/T . With the free energy given by F = -T lnZN = -N T [ln(V /N 3) + 1], we get, for the entropy of the system,
+
+S = -(F/T )V,N = N [ln(V /N 3) + 5/2].
+
+(21)
+
+The important point to note is that, since V  3, the entropy S in Eq. (21) becomes
+nonsensically negative unless N  1 which is equally nonsensical because N should not be too different from (RH /lP )2  1. But the solution [23] is obvious: the N inside the log in Eq. (21) somehow must be absent. Then S  N  (RH /lP )2 without N being small (of order 1) and S is non-negative as physically required. That is the case if the "particles" are distinguishable and
+nonidentical! For in that case, the Gibbs 1/N ! factor is absent from the partition function ZN , and the entropy becomes S = N [ln(V /3) + 3/2].
+
+Now the only known consistent statistics in greater than two space dimensions without the Gibbs factor (recall that the Fermi statistics and Bose statistics give similar results as the conventional Boltzmann statistics at high temperature) is infinite statistics (sometimes called "quantum Boltzmann statistics") [19, 20, 21]. Thus we have shown that the "particles" constituting dark energy obey infinite statistics, instead of the familiar Fermi or Bose statistics [23]. 8
+
+To show that the quanta of modified dark matter also obey this exotic statistics, we [17] first reformulate MoND via an effective gravitational dielectric medium, motivated by the analogy [48] between Coulomb's law in a dielectric medium and Milgrom's law for MoND. Ho, Minic and I then find that MONDian force law is recovered if the quanta of MDM obey infinite statistics.
+
+What is infinite statistics? Succinctly, a Fock realization of infinite statistics is provided by a q = 0 deformation of the commutation relations of the oscillators: akal - qal ak = kl with q between -1 and 1 (the case q = �1 corresponds to bosons or fermions). States are built by acting on a vacuum which is annihilated by ak. Two states obtained by acting with the N oscillators in different orders are orthogonal. It follows that the states may be in any representation of the permutation group. The statistical mechanics of particles obeying infinite statistics can be obtained in a way similar to Boltzmann statistics, with the crucial difference that the Gibbs 1/N ! factor is absent for the former. Infinite statistics can be thought of as corresponding to the statistics of identical particles with an infinite number of internal degrees of freedom, which is equivalent to the statistics of nonidentical particles since they are distinguishable by their internal states.
+
+It has been shown that a theory of particles obeying infinite statistics cannot be local [22, 21]. For example, the expression for the number operator,
+
+ni = ai ai + akai aiak +
+
+al akai aiakal + ...,
+
+k
+
+lk
+
+(22)
+
+8 Using the Matrix theory approach, Jejjala, Kavic and Minic [47] have also argued that dark energy quanta obey infinite statistics.
+
+is both nonlocal and nonpolynomial in the field operators, and so is the Hamiltonian. The lack of locality may make it difficult to formulate a relativistic verion of the theory; but it appears that a non-relativistic theory can be developed. Lacking locality also means that the familiar spin-statistics relation is no longer valid for particles obeying infinite statistics; hence they can have any spin. Remarkably, the TCP theorem and cluster decomposition have been shown to hold despite the lack of locality [21].
+According to the holographic principle, the number of degrees of freedom in a region of space is bounded not by the volume but by the surrounding surface. This suggests that the physical degrees of freedom are not independent but, considered at the Planck scale, they must be infinitely correlated, with the result that the spacetime location of an event may lose its invariant significance. Since the holographic principle is believed to be an important ingredient in the formulation of quantum gravity, the lack of locality for theories of infinite statistics may not be a defect; it can actually be a virtue. Perhaps it is this lack of locality that makes it possible to incorporate gravitational interactions in the theory. Quantum gravity and infinite statistics appear to fit together nicely, and nonlocality seems to be a common feature of both of them [23].
+7. Summary and Conclusion The dark sector in the concordant model of cosmology CDM has two components: dark energy and dark matter. We have argued that quantum fluctuations of spacetime give rise to dark energy in the form of an effective cosmological constant  of the correct magnitude as observed � a result also expected for the present and recent cosmic eras in (generalized) unimodular gravity and causal-set theory. In a spacetime with positive , gravitational thermodynamics arguments then show that dark matter (i.e., modified dark matter) necessarily exists whose mass profile is intimately related to  and ordinary matter, with an emergent acceleraton parameter related to  and the Hubble parameter H, of the magnitude required to explain flat galactic rotation curves. Thus the dark sector in our Universe may indeed have its origin in quantum gravity.
+Pursuing this line of argument further, we find that the quanta of the dark sector appear to obey an unfamiliar statistics, viz, infinite statistics (or quantum Boltzmann statistics). This indicates that the dark sector is made up of extended quanta. As a result, we expect novel particle phenomenology for interactions involving dark matter, thereby "explaining" why so far dark matter detection experiments have not yet convincingly detected dark matter. The extended nature of the MDM quanta may also explain why the mass profile of MDM depends on such global aspects of spacetime as  and H.
+MDM has passed observational tests at both the galactic and cluster scales. We can also mention that preliminary examinations have demonstrated (see Ref. [16]) that the cosmology with MDM is well described by the usual Friedmann's equations. We anticipate that this fact will allow MDM to predict the correct cosmic microwave background (CMB) spectrum shapes as well as the alternating peaks. And as briefly explained in Ref. [49], the MDM mass distribution as found appears to be consistent with the observed strong gravitational lensing.
+We conclude by listing a few items on our lengthy to-do list. We plan to study concrete constraints from gravitational lensing and the bullet cluster on MDM. And we would like to answer these questions: Can we distinguish MDM from CDM? How strongly coupled is MDM to baryonic matter? How does MDM self-interact? We will also test MDM at cosmic scales by studying the acoustic peaks in the CMB and by doing simulations of structure formation. Last but not least, if the quanta of MDM indeed obey infinite statistics as we found, can quantum
+
+gravity be the origin of particle statistics and can the underlying statistics be infinite statistics such that ordinary particles obeying Bose or Fermi statistics are actually some sort of collective degrees of freedom of more fundamental entities obeying infinite statistics? And if so, what are the implications for grand unification?

+THE KPZ FIXED POINT
+KONSTANTIN MATETSKI, JEREMY QUASTEL, AND DANIEL REMENIK
+ABSTRACT. An explicit Fredholm determinant formula is derived for the multipoint distribution of the height function of the totally asymmetric simple exclusion process with arbitrary initial condition. The method is by solving the biorthogonal ensemble/non-intersecting path representation found by [Sas05; BFPS07]. The resulting kernel involves transition probabilities of a random walk forced to hit a curve defined by the initial data. In the KPZ 1:2:3 scaling limit the formula leads in a transparent way to a Fredholm determinant formula, in terms of analogous kernels based on Brownian motion, for the transition probabilities of the scaling invariant Markov process at the centre of the KPZ universality class. The formula readily reproduces known special self-similar solutions such as the Airy1 and Airy2 processes. The invariant Markov process takes values in real valued functions which look locally like Brownian motion, and is H�lder 1/3- in time.

+1. THE KPZ UNIVERSALITY CLASS
+All models in the one dimensional Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) universality class (random growth models, last passage and directed polymers, random stirred fluids) have an analogue of the height function h(t, x) (free energy, integrated velocity) which is conjectured to converge at large time and

+
+length scales ( 0), under the KPZ 1:2:3 scaling
+
+1/2h(-3/2t, -1x) - Ct,
+
+(1.1)
+
+to a universal fluctuating field h(t, x) which does not depend on the particular model, but does depend on the initial data class. Since many of the models are Markovian, the invariant limit process, the KPZ fixed point, will be as well. The purpose of this article is to describe this Markov process, and how it arises from certain microscopic models.
+
+The KPZ fixed point should not be confused with the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation [KPZ86],
+
+th = (xh)2 + x2h + 1/2
+
+(1.2)
+
+with  a space-time white noise, which is a canonical continuum equation for random growth, lending its name to the class. One can think of the space of models in the class as having a trivial, Gaussian fixed point, the Edwards-Wilkinson fixed point, given by (1.2) with  = 0 and the 1:2:4 scaling 1/2h(-2t, -1x) - Ct, and the non-trivial KPZ fixed point, given by (1.2) with  = 0. The KPZ equation is just one of many models, but it plays a distinguished role as the (conjecturally) unique heteroclinic orbit between the two fixed points. The KPZ equation can be obtained from microscopic models in the weakly asymmetric or intermediate disorder limits [BG97; AKQ14; MFQR17; CT15; CN16; CTS16] (which are not equivalent, see [HQ15]). This is the weak KPZ universality conjecture.
+
+However, the KPZ equation is not invariant under the KPZ 1:2:3 scaling (1.1), which is expected to send it, along with all other models in the class, to the true universal fixed point. In modelling, for example, edges of bacterial colonies, forest fires, spread of genes, the non-linearities or noise are often not weak, and it is really the fixed point that should be used in approximations and not the KPZ equation. However, progress has been hampered by a complete lack of understanding of the time evolution of the fixed point itself. Essentially all one had was a few special self-similar solutions, the Airy processes.
+
+Under the KPZ 1:2:3 scaling (1.1) the coefficients of (1.2) transform as   1/2. A naive guess
+
+would then be that the fixed point is nothing but the vanishing viscosity ( 0) solution of the
+
+Hamilton-Jacobi equation
+
+th = (xh)2 + x2h
+
+given by Hopf's formula

+

+
+h0(y)}.
+
+It is not: One of the key features of the class is a stationary solution consisting of (non-trivially) time
+
+dependent Brownian motion height functions (or discrete versions). But Brownian motions are not
+
+invariant for Hopf's formula (see [FM00] for the computation). Our story has another parallel in the
+
+dispersionless limit of KdV (  0 in)
+
+th = (xh)2 + x3h
+
+(in integrated form). Brownian motions are invariant for all , at least in the periodic case [QV08].
+But as far as we are aware, the zero dispersion limit has only been done on a case by case basis, with
+no general formulas. All of these lead, presumably, to various weak solutions of the pure non-linear evolution th = (xh)2, which is, of course, ill-posed.
+
+Our fixed point is also given by a variational formula (see Theorem 4.10) involving a residual forcing noise, the Airy sheet. But, unfortunately, our techniques do not allow us to characterize this noise. Instead, we obtain a complete description of the Markov field h(t, x) itself through the exact calculation of its transition probabilities (see Theorem 4.1).
+
+The strong KPZ universality conjecture (still wide open) is that this fixed point is the limit under the scaling (1.1) for any model in the class, loosely characterized by having: 1. Local dynamics; 2. Smoothing mechanism; 3. Slope dependent growth rate (lateral growth); 4. Space-time random forcing with rapid decay of correlations.
+Universal fixed points have become a theme in probability and statistical physics in recent years. 4d, SLE, Liouville quantum gravity, the Brownian map, the Brownian web, and the continuum random tree have offered asymptotic descriptions for huge classes of models. In general, these have been obtained as non-linear transformations of Brownian motions or Gaussian free fields, and their description relies to a
+
+THE KPZ FIXED POINT
+
+3
+
+large degree on symmetry. In the case of 4d, the main tool is perturbation theory. Even the recent theory of regularity structures [Hai14], which makes sense of the KPZ equation (1.2), does so by treating the non-linear term as a kind of perturbation of the linear equation.
+In our case, we have a non-perturbative two-dimensional field theory with a skew symmetry, and a solution should not in principle even be expected. What saves us is the one-dimensionality of the fixed time problem, and the fact that several discrete models in the class have an explicit description using non-intersecting paths. Here we work with TASEP, obtaining a complete description of the transition probabilities in a form which allows us to pass transparently to the 1:2:3 scaling limit1. In a sense, a recipe for the solution of TASEP has existed since the work of [Sas05], who discovered a highly non-obvious representation in terms of non-intersecting paths which in turn can be studied using the structure of biorthogonal ensembles [BFPS07]. However, the biorthogonalization was only implicit, and one had to rely on exact solutions for a couple of special initial conditions to obtain the asymptotic Tracy-Widom distributions FGUE and FGOE [TW94; TW96] and the Baik-Rains distribution FBR [BR01], and their spatial versions, the Airy processes [Joh00; Joh03; Sas05; BFPS07; BFP07; BFP10]. In this article, motivated by the probabilistic interpretation of the path integral forms of the kernels in the Fredholm determinants, and exploiting the skew time reversibility, we are able to obtain a general formula in which the TASEP kernel is given by a transition probability of a random walk forced to hit the initial data.
+We end this introduction with an outline of the paper and a brief summary of our results. Section 2.1 recalls and solves the biorthogonal representation of TASEP, motivated by the path integral representation, which is derived in the form we need it in Appendix A.2. The biorthogonal functions appearing in the resulting Fredholm determinants are then recognized as hitting probabilities in Section 2.2, which allows us to express the kernels in terms of expectations of functionals involving a random walk forced to hit the initial data. The determinantal formulas for TASEP with arbitrary initial conditions are in Theorem 2.6. In Section 3, we pass to the KPZ 1:2:3 scaling limit to obtain determinantal formulas for transition probabilities of the KPZ fixed point. For this purpose it turned out to be easier to use formulas for right-finite initial TASEP data. But since we have exact formulas, we can obtain a very strong estimate (Lemma 3.2) on the propagation speed of information which allows us to show there is no loss of generality in doing so. Section 4 opens with the general formula for the transition probabilities of the KPZ fixed point, Theorem 4.1; readers mostly interested in the physical implications may wish to skip directly there. We then work in Section 4.2 to show that the Chapman-Kolmogorov equations hold. This is done by obtaining a uniform bound on the local H�lder  < 1/2 norm of the approximating Markov fields. The proof is in Appendix C. The rest of Section 4 gives the key properties of the fixed point: regularity in space and time and local Brownian behavior, various symmetries, variational formulas in terms of the Airy sheet, and equilibrium space-time covariance; we also show how to recover some of the classical Airy processes from our formulas. Sections 3 and 4 are done at the level of pointwise convergence of kernels, skipping moreover some of the details. The convergence of the kernels is upgraded to trace class in Appendix B, where the remaining details are filled in.
+So, in a sense, everything follows once one is able to explictly biorthogonalize TASEP. We begin there.
+
+2. TASEP
+The totally asymmetric simple exclusion process (TASEP) consists of particles with positions � � � < Xt(2) < Xt(1) < Xt(0) < Xt(-1) < Xt(-2) < � � � on Z  {-, } performing totally asymmetric nearest neighbour random walks with exclusion: Each particle independently attempts jumps to the neighbouring site to the right at rate 1, the jump being allowed only if that site is unoccupied (see [Lig85] for the non-trivial fact that the process with an infinite number of particles makes sense). Placing a necessarily infinite number of particles at � allows for left- or right-finite data with no change of notation, the particles at � playing no role in the dynamics. We follow the standard
+1The method works for several variants of TASEP which also have a representation through biorthogonal ensembles, which will appear in the updated version of this article.

+
+practice of ordering particles from the right; for right-finite data the rightmost particle is labelled 1. Let
+
+Xt-1(u) = min{k  Z : Xt(k)  u}
+
+denote the label of the rightmost particle which sits to the left of, or at, u at time t. The TASEP height function associated to Xt is given for z  Z by
+
+ht(z) = -2 Xt-1(z - 1) - X0-1(-1) - z,
+
+(2.1)
+
+which fixes h0(0) = 0. We will also choose the frame of reference
+
+X0-1(-1) = 1,
+
+i.e. the particle labeled 1 is initially the rightmost in Z<0.
+The height function is a random walk path ht(z + 1) = ht(z) + ^t(z) with ^t(z) = 1 if there is a particle at z at time t and -1 if there is no particle at z at time t. The dynamics of ht is that local max's become local min's at rate 1; i.e. if ht(z) = ht(z � 1) + 1 then ht(z)  ht(z) - 2 at rate 1, the rest of the height function remaining unchanged. We can also easily extend the height function to a continuous function of x  R by linearly interpolating between the integer points.
+
+2.1. Biorthogonal ensembles. TASEP was first solved by Sch�tz [Sch97] using Bethe ansatz. He showed that the transition probability for N particles has a determinantal form
+
+P(Xt(1) = x1, . . . , Xt(N ) = xN ) = det(Fi-j(xN+1-i - X0(N + 1 - j), t))1i,jN (2.2)

+
+- w)-n wx-n
+
+et(w-1),
+
+where 0,1 is any simple loop oriented anticlockwise which includes w = 0 and w = 1. To mesh with our convention of infinitely many particles, we can place particles X0(j), j  0 at  and X0(j), j > N at -. Remarkable as it is, this formula is not conducive to asymptotic analysis where we want
+
+to consider the later positions of M N of the particles. This was overcome by [Sas05; BFPS07] who
+
+were able to reinterpret the integration of (2.2) over the excess variables as a kind of non-intersecting
+
+line ensemble, and hence the desired probabilities could be obtained from a biorthogonalization problem,
+
+which we describe next.
+
+First for a fixed vector a  RM and indices n1 < . . . < nM we introduce the functions
+
+a(nj, x) = 1x>aj ,
+
+�a(nj, x) = 1xaj ,
+
+which also regard as multiplication operators acting on the space 2({n1, . . . , nM } � Z) (and later on L2({t1, . . . , tM } � R)). We will use the same notation if a is a scalar, writing
+a(x) = 1 - �a(x) = 1x>a.
+
+Theorem 2.1 ([BFPS07]). Suppose that TASEP starts with particles labeled 1, 2, . . . (so that, in particular, there is a rightmost particle)2,3 and let 1  n1 < n2 < � � � < nM  N . Then for t > 0 we
+have
+
+where
+
+P(Xt(nj)  aj, j = 1, . . . , M ) = det(I - �aKt�a) 2({n1,...,nM }�Z)

+
+nnii-k(xi)nnjj-k(xj ),
+
+k=1
+
+(2.3) (2.4)
+
+2We are assuming here that X0(j) <  for all j  1; particles at - are allowed. 3The [BFPS07] result is stated only for initial conditions with finitely many particles, but the extension to right-finite
+(infinite) initial conditions is straightforward because, given fixed indices n1 < n2 < � � � < nM , the distribution of Xt(n1), . . . , Xt(nM ) does not depend on the initial positions of the particles with indices beyond nM .

+

+
+at w = 1. The functions nk (x), k = 0, . . . , n - 1, are defined implicitly by
+
+(1) The biorthogonality relation xZ nk (x)n(x) = 1k= ; (2) 2-xnk (x) is a polynomial of degree at most n - 1 in x for each k.
+
+The initial data appear in a simple way in the nk , which can be computed explicitly. Qm is easy,

+
+Q-m(x, y) = (-1)y-x+m2y-x m . y-x
+
+(2.6)
+
+It is not hard to check [BFPS07, Eq. 3.22] that for all m, n  Z, Qn-mnn-k = mm-k. In particular,
+
+nk = Q-kn0-k, while by Cauchy's residue theorem we have n0 = RX0(n), where y(x) = 1x=y

+
+Q and R commute, because Q(x, y) and R(x, y) only depend on x - y. So
+
+(2.7)
+
+nk = RQ-kX0(n-k).
+
+(2.8)
+
+The nk , on the other hand, are defined only implicitly through 1 and 2. Only for a few special cases of initial data (step, see e.g. [Fer15]; and periodic [BFPS07; BFP07; BFS08]) were they known, and
+hence only for those cases asymptotics could be performed, leading to the Tracy-Widom FGUE and FGOE one-point distributions, and then later to the Airy processes for multipoint distributions.
+We are now going to solve for the nk for any initial data. Let us explain how this can be done starting just from the solution for step initial data X0(i) = -i, i  1. In addition to the extended kernel formula (2.3), one has a path integral formula (see Appendix A.2 for the proof),
+
+det I - Kt(nm)(I - Qn1-nm a1 Qn2-n1 a2 � � � Qnm-nm-1 am ) L2(R),
+
+(2.9)
+
+where
+
+Kt(n) = Kt(n, �; n, �).
+
+(2.10)
+
+Such formulas were first obtained in [PS02] for the Airy2 process (see [PS11] for the proof), and later extended to the Airy1 process in [QR13a] and then to a very wide class of processes in [BCR15].
+
+The key is to recognize the kernel Q(x, y) as the transition probabilities of a random walk (which is why we conjugated the [BFPS07] kernel by 2x) and then a1 Qn2-n1 a2 � � � Qnm-nm-1 am (x, y) as the probability that this walk goes from x to y in nm - n1 steps, staying above a1 at time n1, above a2 at time n2, etc. Next we use the skew time reversibility of TASEP, which is most easily stated in terms
+of the height function,
+
+Pf (ht(x)  g(x), x  Z) = P-g(ht(x)  -f (x), x  Z) ,
+
+(2.11)
+
+4We have conjugated the kernel Kt from [BFPS07] by 2x for convenience. The additional X0(n - k) in the power of 2 in the nk 's is also for convenience and is allowed because it just means that the nk 's have to be multiplied by 2X0(n-k).

+
+the subscript indicating the initial data. In other words, the height function evolving backwards in time is indistiguishable from minus the height function. Now suppose we have the solution (2.4) for step initial data centered at x0, which means h0 is the peak -|x - x0|. The multipoint distribution at time t is given by (2.9), but we can use (2.11) to reinterpret it as the one point distribution at time (t, x0), starting from a series of peaks. The multipoint distributions can then be obtained by extending the resulting kernel in the usual way, as in (2.4) (see also (A.1)). One can obtain the general formula and then try to justify proceeding in this fashion. But, in fact, it is easier to use this line of reasoning to simply guess the formula, which can then be checked from Theorem 2.1. This gives us our key result.
+
+Theorem 2.2. Fix 0  k < n and consider particles at X0(1) > X0(2) > � � � > X0(n). Let hnk ( , z) be the unique solution to the initial�boundary value problem for the backwards heat equation

+
+Remark 2.3. It is not true that Qhnk ( + 1, z) = hnk ( , z). In fact, in general Qhnk (k, z) is divergent.
+
+Proof. The existence and uniqueness is an elementary consequence of the fact that the dimension of ker(Q)-1 is 1, and it consists of the function 2z, which allows us to march forwards from the initial
+condition hnk (k, z) = 2z-X0(n-k) uniquely solving the boundary value problem hnk ( , X0(n - k)) = 0 at each step. We next check the biorthogonality.

+
+For  k, we use the boundary condition hnk ( , X0(n - k)) = 1 =k, which is both (2.12b) and (2.12c), to get
+
+(Q)- hnk (0, X0(n - )) = hnk ( , X0(n - )) = 1k= . For > k, we use (2.12a) and 2z  ker (Q)-1
+
+(Q)- hnk (0, X0(n - )) = (Q)-( -k-1)(Q)-1hnk (k, X0(n - )) = 0.
+
+Finally, we show that 2-xnk (x) is a polynomial of degree at most k in x. We have
+
+2-xnk (x) = 2-x

+
+thus
+
+we get 2-xnk (x) = pk(x).
+
+To see that 2-xhnk (0, x) is a polynomial of degree at most k, we proceed by induction. Note first that, by (2.12b), 2-xhnk (k, x) is a polynomial of degree 0. Assume now that 2-xhnk ( , x) is a polynomial of
+
+degree at most k - for some 0 <  k. By (2.12a) and (2.6) we have
+
+2-xhnk ( , x) = 2-x(Q)-1hnk ( - 1, x) = 2-(x-1)hnk ( - 1, x - 1) - 2-xhnk ( - 1, x),
+
+which implies that 2-xhnk ( - 1, x) = hnk ( , X0(n - k)) -

+2.2. TASEP kernel as a transition probability with hitting. We will restrict for a while to the single time kernel Kt(n) defined in (2.10). The multi-time kernel can then be recovered as (see (A.5))
+
+Kt(ni, �; nj , �) = -Qnj-ni 1ni X0(n - m)},
+
+with the convention that min  = . Then for z  X0(n - ) we have

+
+which can be proved by checking that (Q)-1hnk ( , �)�X0(n- ) = hnk ( + 1, �)�X0(n- -1). From the memoryless property of the geometric distribution we have for all z  X0(n - k) that
+
+PB- 1=z  0,n = k, Bk = y = 2X0(n-k)-yPB- 1=z  0,n = k ,
+
+and as a consequence we get, for z2  X0(n),
+
+n-1
+G0,n(z1, z2) = PB- 1=z2  0,n = k (Q)n-k(X0(n - k), z1)

+
+which is the probability for the walk starting at z2 at time -1 to end up at z1 after n steps, having hit the curve X0(n - m) m=0,...,n-1 in between.
+The next step is to obtain an expression along the lines of (2.16) which holds for all z2, and not just z2  X0(n). We begin by observing that for each fixed y1, 2-y2Qn(y1, y2) extends in y2 to a polynomial 2-y2Q(n)(y1, y2) of degree n - 1 with

+Using (2.6) and (2.17), we have Q-1Q(n) = Q(n)Q-1 = Q(n-1) for n > 1, but Q-1Q(1) = Q(1)Q-1 = 0. Note also that Q(n)Q(m) is divergent, so the Q(n) are no longer a group like Qn.

+Example 2.7. (Step initial data) Consider TASEP with step initial data, i.e. X0(i) = -i for i  1.
+If we start the random walk in (2.23) from B0 = z1 below the curve, i.e. z1 < 0, then the random walk clearly never hits the epigraph. Hence, S�te,pni(X0)  0 and the last term in (2.25) vanishes. For the second term in (2.25) we have

+
+Example 2.8. (Periodic initial data) Consider now TASEP with the (finite) periodic initial data
+
+X0(i) = 2(N -i) for i = 1, . . . , 2N . For simplicity we will compute only Kt(n). We start by computing S�te,pni(X0), and proceed formally. Observe that eBm-m() m0, with () = - log(2e - 1) the

+Thus if z1  2(N - 1), EB0=z1[eB -()] = ez1. But it is easy to see from the definition of X0
+
+that B is necessarily 2(N -  ) +1. Using this and choosing  = log(e + e2 - e) leads to EB0=z1 [e- ] = e(z1-2N-1) log(e+ e2-e). Formally inverting the moment generating function gives

+
+Remark 3.1. The KPZ fixed point has one free parameter7, corresponding to  in (1.2). Our choice of the height function moving downwards corresponds to setting  > 0. The scaling of space by the factor 2 in (3.1) corresponds to the choice || = 1/2.
+
+Assume that we have initial data X0 chosen to depend on  in such a way that8
+
+h0 = lim h(0, �).

+
+(3.2)
+
+Because the X0(k) are in reverse order, and because of the inversion (2.1), this is equivalent to

+X0(-1x) + 2-1x - 1
+

+
+7[JG15] has recently conjectured that the KPZ fixed point is given by th = (xh)2 - (-x2)3/2h + 1/2(-x2)3/4,  > 0, the evidence being that formally it is invariant under the 1:2:3 KPZ scaling (1.1) and preserves Brownian motion. Besides the non-physical non-locality, and the inherent difficulty of making sense of this equation, one can see that it is not correct because it has two free parameters instead of one. Presumably, it converges to the KPZ fixed point in the limit  0. On the other hand, the model has critical scaling, so it is also plausible that if one introduces a cutoff (say, smooth the noise) and then take a limit, the result has  = 0, and possibly even a renormalized . So it is possible that, in a rather uninformative sense, the conjecture could still be true.
+8This fixes our study of the scaling limit to perturbations of density 1/2. We could perturb off any density   (0, 1) by observing in an appropriate moving frame without extra difficulty, but we do not pursue it here.
+
+THE KPZ FIXED POINT

+
+The left hand side is also taken to be the linear interpolation to make it a continuous function of x  R. For fixed t > 0, we will prove that the limit
+
+h(t, x; h0) = lim h(t, x)
+0
+
+(3.4)
+
+exists, and take it as our definition of the KPZ fixed point h(t, x; h0). We will often omit h0 from the notation when it is clear from the context.
+
+3.1. State space and topology. The state space in which we will always work, and where (3.2), (3.3) will be assumed to hold and (3.4) will be proved, in distribution, will be9
+UC = upper semicontinuous fns. h : R  [-, ) with h(x)  C(1 + |x|) for some C < 
+with the topology of local UC convergence, which is the natural topology for lateral growth. We describe this topology next.
+Recall h is upper semicontinuous (UC) iff its hypograph hypo(h) = {(x, y) : y  h(x)} is closed in [-, ) � R. [-, ) will have the distance function10 d[-,)(y1, y2) = |ey1 - ey2|. On closed subsets of R � [-, ) we have the Hausdorff distance d(C1, C2) = inf{ > 0 : C1  B(C2) and C2  B(C1)} where B(C) = xC B(x), B(x) being the ball of radius  around x. For UC functions h1, h2 and M = 1, 2, . . ., we take dM (h1, h2) = d(hypo(h1)M , hypo(h2)M ) where M = [-M, M ] � [-, ). We say h - h if h(x)  C(1 + |x|) for a C independent of  and dM (h, h)  0 for each M  1.
+We will also use LC = g : -g  UC (made of lower semicontinuous functions), the distance now being defined in terms of epigraphs, epi(g) = {(x, y) : y  g(x)}.
+
+3.2. For any h0  UC, we can find initial data X0 so that (3.3) holds in the UC topology. This is
+easy to see, because any h0  UC is the limit of functions which are finite at finitely many points, and - otherwise. In turn, such functions can be approximated by initial data X0 where the particles are densely packed in blocks. Our goal is to take such a sequence of initial data X0 and compute
+Ph0(h(t, xi)  ai, i = 1, . . . , M ) which, from (2.1) and (3.4), is the limit as   0 of

+
+While (2.26) is more general, it turns out (2.25) is nicer for passing to limits. There is no loss of generality because of the next lemma, which says that we can safely cut off our data far to the right. For each integer L, the cutoff data is X0,L(n) = X0(n) if n > - -1L and X0,L(n) =  if n  - -1L . This corresponds to replacing h0(x) by h0,L(x) with a straight line with slope -2-1/2 to the right of X0(- -1L )  2L. The following will be proved in Appendix B.5:
+Lemma 3.2. (Finite propagation speed) Suppose that X0 satisfies (3.3). There are 0 > 0 and C <  and c > 0 independent of   (0, 0) such that the difference of (3.5) computed with initial data X0 and with initial data X0,L is bounded by C(e-cL3 1Lc-1/2 + L-1/21L>c-1/2 ).
+
+9The bound h(x)  C(1 + |x|) is not as general as possible, but it is needed for finite propagation speed (see Lemma 3.2). With work, one could extend the class to h(x)  C(1 + |x|),  < 2. Once the initial data has parabolic growth there
+is infinite speed of propagation and finite time blowup. 10This allows continuity at time 0 for initial data which takes values -, such as half-flat (see Section 4.4).

+
+In addition to St,x we need to introduce the limiting version of S�te,pni(X0). For g  LC,
+
+S�etp,xi(g)(v, u) = EB(0)=v St,x- (B( ), u)1 < ,
+
+(3.9)
+
+where B(x) is a Brownian motion with diffusion coefficient 2 and  is the hitting time of the epigraph of g12,13. Note that, trivially, S�etp,xi(g)(v, u) = St,x(v, u) for v  g(0). If h  UC, there is a similar operator S�ht,yxpo(h) with the same definition, except that now  is the hitting time of the hypograph of h and S�ht,yxpo(h)(v, u) = St,x(v, u) for v  h(0).
+
+Lemma 3.3. Under the scaling (3.6) and assuming that (3.3) holds in LC, if we set zi = 2-1xi + -1/2(ui + ai), y = -1/2v, then we have, as  0,
+
+St,xi (v, ui) := -1/2St,-ni (y , zi) - St,xi (v, ui), St,-xj (v, uj ) := -1/2St,nj (y , zj ) - St,-xj (v, uj ), S�t,,-epxi(j-h-0 )(v, uj ) := -1/2S�te,pnij(X0)(y , zj ) - S�etp,-i(x-jh-0 )(v, uj ) pointwise, where h-0 (x) = h0(-x) for x  0.

However, one cannot apply the optional stopping theorem
+to conclude that EB(0)=v St,x- (B( ), u)1< = St,x(v, u). For example, if g  0, one can compute
+EB(0)=v St,x- (B( ), u)1< = St,x(-v, u). The minus sign is not a mistake! 14We note that this (or rather Appendix B) is the only place in the paper where steepest descent is used.

+
+(3.15)
+
+We also have F (0)  log(2), which cancels the prefactor 1/2 coming from the change of variables. In
+
+view of (3.8), this gives (3.10). The proof of (3.11) is the same, using (2.22). Now define the scaled
+walk B(x) = 1/2 B-1x + 2-1x - 1 for x  Z+, interpolated linearly in between, and let   be the hitting time by B of epi(-h(0, �)-). By Donsker's invariance principle [Bil99], B converges
+
+locally uniformly in distribution to a Brownian motion B(x) with diffusion coefficient 2, and therefore (using (3.3)) the hitting time   converges to  as well. Thus one can see that (3.12) should hold; a
+
+detailed proof is in Lemmas B.1 and B.5.
+
+We will compute next the limit of (3.5) using (2.24) under the scaling (3.6). To this end we change variables in the kernel as in Lemma 3.3, so that for zi = 2-1xi + -1/2(ui + ai) we need to compute the limit of -1/2 �2-1xKt�2-1x (zi, zj). Note that the change of variables turns �2-1x(z) into �-a(u). We have ni < nj for small  if and only if xj < xi and in this case we have, under our scaling,
+-1/2Qnj-ni (zi, zj ) - e(xi-xj)2 (ui, uj ),
+as  0. For the second term in (2.25) we have
+
+-1/2(St,-ni )X0(1)St,nj (zi, zj ) = -1
+
+
+-1/2X0(1) dv (St,xi )(ui, -1/2v)St,-xj (-1/2v, uj )
+- (St,xi )-h0(0)St,-xj (ui, uj ).
+
+The limit of the third term in (2.25) is proved similarly. Thus we obtain a limiting kernel
+
+- e(xi-xj)2 (ui, uj )1xi>xj + (St,xi )-h0(0)St,-xj (ui, uj ) + (St,xi )�-h0(0)S�etp,-i(x-jh-0 )(ui, uj ), (3.16)
+
+surrounded by projections �-a. Our computations here only give pointwise convergence of the kernels, but they will be upgraded to trace class convergence in Appendix B, which thus yields convergence of
+the Fredholm determinants.
+We prefer the projections �-a surrounding (3.16) to read a, so we change variables ui - -ui and replace the Fredholm determinant of the kernel by that of its adjoint to get det I - aKhexytpo(h0)a
+with Khexytpo(h0)(ui, uj) = the kernel in (3.16), evaluated at (-uj, -ui) and with xi and xj flipped. But St,x(-u, -v) = (St,x)(v, u), so (St,xj )-h0(0)St,-xi (-uj , -ui) = (St,-xi )�h0(0)St,xj (ui, uj ). Similarly, we have S�etp,xi(-h-0 )(-v, -u) = (S�ht,yxpo(h-0 ))(u, v) for v  -h0(0), and thus we get (St,xj )�-h0(0)S�etp,-i(x-ih-0 )(-uj , -ui) = (S�ht,y-pxoi(h-0 ))h0(0)St,xj (ui, uj ). This gives the following preliminary (one-sided) fixed point formula.
+
+Theorem 3.4. (One-sided fixed point formulas) Let h0  UC with h0(x) = - for x > 0. Given x1 < x2 < � � � < xM and a1, . . . , aM  R,
+
+Ph0(h(t, x1)  a1, . . . , h(t, xM )  aM ) = det I - aKhexytpo(h0)a L2({x1,...,xM }�R) = det I - Kht,yxpMo(h0) + Kht,yxpMo(h0)e(x1-xM )2 �a1 e(x2-x1)2 �a2 � � � e(xM -xM-1)2 �aM

+(3.17)
+L2(R)
+(3.18)
+
+with Khexytpo(h0)(xi, �; xj , �) = -e(xj-xi)2 1xiL, which can be obtained from the previous theorem by translation invariance. We then take a continuum limit of the operator e(x1-xM )2 �a1 e(x2-x1)2 �a2 � � � e(xM -xM-1)2 �aM on the right side
+of (3.18) to obtain a "hit" operator for the final data as well. From Lemma 3.2, the result is the same as
+
+if we started with two-sided data for TASEP.
+
+The shift invariance of TASEP tells us that h(t, x; hL0 ) d=ist h(t, x - L; LhL0 ), where L is the
+
+shift operator from (2.27). Our goal then is to take L   in the formula given in Theorem 3.4 for
+
+h(t, x - L; LhL0 ). The left hand side of (3.17) becomes det
+
+I - aKLLhL0 a
+
+with
+L2({x1,...,xM }�R)
+
+KLLhL0 (xi, �; xj, �) given by
+
+e(xj -xi)2 1xi 0, and are measurable in t > 0. The measurability is clear from the construction. To see that they are non-degenerate probability measures, note that the space B0(UC)  B(UC) of sets A of the form A = {h  UC, h(xi)  ai, i = 1, . . . , n} generates B(UC), and it is clear from the construction that pn(a1, . . . , an) = Ph0(h(t, xi)  ai, i = 1, . . . , n) is non-decreasing in each ai (cf. (3.5)). To show that pn(a1, . . . , an) - 1 as all ai   one uses the estimate |det(I - K) - 1|  K 1e K 1+1 (with � 1 denoting trace norm, see (B.1)) and (3.17). To see that pn(a1, . . . , an) - 0 as any ai  -, take t = 2 (general t > 0 follows from scaling invariance, Prop. 4.6(i)) and note first that pn(a1, . . . , an)  p1(ai) for any i. By the skew time reversal symmetry and affine invariance of the fixed point (Prop. 4.6) together with (4.6) we know the one dimensional marginals p1(ai) = P(A2(x) - (x - xi)2  -h0(x) + ai  x  R), where A2(x) is the Airy2 process (see Section 4.4), which clearly vanishes as ai  -18.
+From the Fredholm determinant formula (4.5), the transition probabilities satisfy the Feller property: If  is a continuous function on UC, then Pt(h0) := Eh0[(h(t))] := (h)ph0(t, dh) is a continuous function of h0  UC. This is proved in Appendix B.2, based on showing that the kernels are continuous maps from UC into the space of trace class operators.
+Finally, we need to show the Markov property, i.e. Pt t>0 forms a semigroup. While one expects the limit of Markov processes to be Markovian, this is not always the case, and requires some compactness.
+Lemma 4.3. Let p(t, x, A) be Feller Markov kernels on a Polish space S for each  > 0, and p(t, x, A) a measurable family of Feller probability kernels on S, such that for each t > 0,  > 0, there is a compact subset K of S such that p(t, x, KC ) < , p(t, x, KC ) <  and lim0 p(t, x, A) = p(t, x, A) uniformly over x  K. Then p(t, x, A) satisfy the Chapman-Kolmogorov equations
+
+p(s, x, dy)p(t, y, B) = p(s + t, x, B),
+S
+
+B  B(S).
+
+Proof. Fix s, t > 0, x  S,  > 0 and A  B(S), choose a compact K  S and choose 0 so that for all  < 0, p(t, x, KC) + p(t, x, KC) < /3, |p(s, y, A) - p(s, y, A)| < /3 for all
+
+18Suppose h0(x�) > - and t = 2. Then we can bound p1(ai) by P(A2(x�) - (x� - xi)2  -h0(x�) + ai) which is a
+
+shifted FGUE. Hence we have pn(a1, . . . , an)

+
+Furthermore, h(t, x) is locally Brownian in x in the sense that for each y  R, the finite dimensional distributions of +(x) = -1/2(h(t, y + x) - h(t, y)) and -(x) = -1/2(h(t, y - x) - h(t, y)) converge, as  0, to Brownian motions with diffusion coefficient 2.
+
+The regularity will be proved in Appendix C. The method is the Kolmogorov continuity theorem,
+which reduces regularity to two point functions, which we can estimate using trace norms. The proof of the local Brownian property is exactly the same as [QR13a] (with Khtypo(h0) replacing B0 there) once we have a bound on the trace norm.
+
+4.4. Airy processes. Using Theorem 4.1 we can recover several of the classical Airy processes19 by starting with special initial data and observing the spatial process at time t = 2.
+
+Start by considering the UC function du(u) = 0, du(x) = - for x = u, known as a narrow wedge at u. It leads to the Airy2 process (sometimes simply the Airy process):
+
+h(2, x; du) + (x - u)2 = A2(x) (sometimes simply A(x)). (4.6)
+
+Flat initial data h0  0, on the other hand, leads to the Airy1 process:
+
+h(2, x; 0) = A1(x).
+
+(4.7)
+
+Finally the UC function hh-f(x) = - for x < 0, hh-f(x) = 0 for x  0, called wedge or half-flat initial data, leads to the Airy21 process:
+h(2, x; hh-f) + x21x<0 = A21(x).
+
+Formulas for the n-point distributions of these special solutions were obtained in 2000's in [PS02; Joh03; SI04; Sas05; BFPS07; BFP07; BFS08] in terms of Fredholm determinants of extended kernels,
+
+19Besides the ones we treat here, there are three more basic Airy processes Astat, A1stat and A2stat, obtained by starting from a two-sided Brownian motion, a one-sided Brownian motion to the right of the origin and 0 to the left of the origin, and a one-sided Brownian motion to the right of the origin and - to the left of the origin [IS04; BFS09; BFP10; CFP10]. However, applying Theorem 4.1 in these cases involves averaging over the initial randomness and hence verifying that the resulting formulas coincide with those in the literature is much more challenging.
+
+THE KPZ FIXED POINT
+
+18
+
+and later in terms of path-integral kernels in [CQR13; QR13a; BCR15]. The Airy21 process contains the other two in the limits x  - and x  .
+We now show how the formula for the Airy21 process arises from the KPZ fixed point formula (4.5) (a slightly more direct derivation could be given using (3.20)). The Airy1 and Airy2 processes can be obtained analogously, or in the limits x  �. We have to take h0(x) = - for x < 0, h(x) = 0 for x  0 in Theorem 4.1. It is straightforward to check that S�h0ypo(h-0 )  0. On the other hand, as in [QR16, Prop. 3.6] one checks that, for v  0,
+
+S�ht,y0po(h+0 )(v, u) =
+
+
+Pv(0  dy)St,-y(0, u) = St,0(-v, u),
+
+0
+
+which gives
+
+Kht/y2po(h0) = I - (St/2,0)0[St/2,0 - St/2,0] = (St/2,0)(I + )�0St/2,0.
+
+Fix x1 < � � � < xM and let g(xi) = ai, g(x) =  for other x's. We clearly have S�e-pti,(xg1-x1) = 0, while
+S�e-pti,(-g+xx11)St,xM (v, u) = EB(0)=v e(xM -x1- )2 (B( ), u)1 < = EB(0)=v B(-x1 + xi)  ai some i, B(xM - x1) = v = e(xM -x1)2 (v, u) - �a1 e(x2-x1)2 �a2 � � � e(xM -xM-1)2 �aM (v, u).
+
+This gives us Ke-pti(g) = I - (S-t,x1 )�a1 e(x2-x1)2 �a2 � � � e(xM -xM-1)2 �aM S-t,-xM , and we deduce from the fixed point formula (4.5) that P(h(t; xi)  ai, i = 1, . . . , M ) is given by
+
+det I - Kht/y2po(h0) + Kht/y2po(h0)(S-t/2,x1 )�a1 e(x2-x1)2 �a2 � � � e(xM -xM-1)2 �aM S-t/2,-xM = det I - K2t/2,1x1 + �a1 e(x2-x1)2 �a2 � � � e(xM -xM-1)2 �aM e(x1-xM )2 K2t,x11
+
+(where we used the cyclic property of the Fredholm determinant) with
+
+K2t/2,1x1 = S-t/2,-x1 Kht/y2po(h0)(S-t/2,x1 ) = (St,-x1 )(I + )�0St,x1 .
+
+Choosing t = 2 and using (3.8) yields
+
+K22 ,x11(u, v) = +
+
+0
+d e-2x31/3-x1(u-) Ai(u -  + x21) e2x31/3+x1(v-) Ai(v -  + x21)
+-
+0
+d e-2x31/3-x1(u+) Ai(u +  + x21) e2x31/3+x1(v-) Ai(v -  + x21)
+-
+
+which, after simplifying and comparing with [QR13b, Eq. 1.8], is the kernel K2x1 1 in [BCR15, Cor. 4.8]. Therefore P(h(2, xi; h0)  ai, i = 1, . . . , M ) = P A21(xi) - (xi  0)2  ai, i = 1, . . . , M .
+It is worth noting that we have proved a certain amount of universality of the Airy processes which was not previously known (although for one point marginals this appears in [CLW16], and to some extent [QR16]). It can be stated as follows:
+
+Corollary 4.5. Consider TASEP with initial conditions X0,1 and X0,2 and let h0,1 and h0,2 denote the corresponding rescaled height functions (3.1). Assume that h0,1 and h0,2 converge in distribution in UC to the same limit h0 as   0. Then for all t > 0, h,1(t, �) and h,2(t, �) have the same (distributional) limit.
+
+So, for example, if h0  d0 in UC, then h(2, �) - A2 in UC. This was previously known only for the special case X0(i) = -i, i  1.

+
+4.5. Symmetries and variational formulas. The KPZ fixed point comes from TASEP with an extra
+piece of information, which is a canonical coupling between the processes started with different initial
+data. More precisely, for each h0  UC we have, as described above, a probability measure Ph0 corresponding to the Markov process h(t, �) with initial data h0. But we actually have produced, for each n = 1, 2, 3, . . . , a consistent family of probability measures Ph10,...,hn0 corresponding to the joint Markov process h1(t, �), . . . , hn(t, �) with initial data h10, . . . , hn0 . We do not have explicit joint probabilities, but the coupling is still useful, as noted in the following
+
+Proposition 4.6 (Symmetries of h).
+
+(i) (1:2:3 Scaling invariance)
+
+h(-3t, -2x; h0(-2x)) d=ist h(t, x; h0),  > 0;
+(ii) (Skew time reversal) P h(t, x; g)  -f (x) = P h(t, x; f )  -g(x) , (iii) (Shift invariance) h(t, x + u; h0(x + u)) d=ist h(t, x; h0); (iv) (Reflection invariance) h(t, -x; h0(-x)) d=ist h(t, x; h0); (v) (Affine invariance) h(t, x; f + a + cx) d=ist h(t, x; f ) + a + cx + c2t; (vi) (Preservation of max) h(t, x; f1  f2) = h(t, x; f1)  h(t, x; f2).
+
+f , g  UC;
+
+These properties also allow us to obtain the following two results: Proposition 4.7. Suppose that h0(x)  C(1 + |x|) for some C < . For each t > 0, there exists C�(t) <  almost surely such that h(t, x)  C�(t)(1 + |x|).
+
+Proof. By Prop. 4.6(i,v,vi) and (4.7), P(h(2t, x; h0)  C�(1 + |x|) for some x  R) is bounded above by 2P(t1/3A1(t-2/3x) + t1/3C + t-1/3Cx + t1/3C2  C�(1 + |x|) for some x  R), which goes to 0 as C� .
+
+Proposition 4.8. Let h0  UC. Then for t > 0 we have

+
+where o1(1) - 0 as maxi ai  -, o2(1) - 0 as maxi ai  , and they depend on h0, t, and the xi's.
+
+Proof. The upper bound is proved in footnote 18 (using also Prop. 4.6(i)). For the lower bound, we can
+estimate as in the previous proof Ph0(h(2t, xi)  ai, i = 1, . . . , n)  2P(t1/3A1(t-2/3xi) + t1/3C + t-1/3Cxi + t1/3C2t  ai, i = 1, . . . , n). This is certainly less than the worst case over the i's, which is given by 1 - FGOE(41/3t-1/3 mini ai - t1/3C - t-1/3Cxi - t1/3C2).
+
+We turn now to the relation between the fixed point and the Airy sheet (conjectured in [CQR15]). We introduce this process first.
+Example 4.9. (Airy sheet) h(2, y; dx) + (x - y)2 = A(x, y) is called the Airy sheet. Fixing either one of the variables, it is an Airy2 process in the other. In some contexts it is better to include the parabola, so we write A^(x, y) = A(x, y) - (x - y)2. Unfortunately, the fixed point formula does not give joint probabilities P(A(xi, yi)  ai, i = 1, . . . , M ) for the Airy sheet20.
+
+By repeated application of Prop. 4.6(vi) to initial data which take finite values h0(xi) at xi, i = 1, . . . , n, and - everywhere else, which approximate h0 in UC as the xi make a fine mesh, and then taking limits, we obtain as a consequence
+
+20The fixed point formula reads P(A^(x, y)  f (x) + g(y), x, y  R) = det I - Kh1ypo(-g)Ke-p1i(f) . Even in the case
+when f , g take two non-infinite values, it gives a formula for P(A^(xi, yj)  f (xi) + g(yj), i, j = 1, 2) but f (xi) + g(yj) only span a 3-dimensional linear subspace of R4. So it does not determine the joint distribution of A^(xi, yj), i, j = 1, 2.

+
+4.6. Regularity in time.
+
+Proposition 4.11. Fix x0  R and initial data h0  UC. For t > 0, h(t, x0) is locally H�lder  in t for any  < 1/3.
+
+Proof. Since t > 0, from the Markov property and the fact that at time 0 < s < t the process is in C  we can assume without loss of generality that s = 0 and h0  C , for some  < 1/2. There is an R <  a.s. such that |A(x)|  R(1 + |x|) and |h0(x) - h0(x0)|  R(|x - x0| + |x - x0|). From
+the variational formula (4.8), |h(t, x0) - h(0, x0)| is bounded by

+
+Letting  = /(2 - ) and sending  1/2 we get the result.
+
+Remark 4.12. One doesn't really expect Prop. 4.11 to be true at t = 0, unless one starts with H�lder 1/2- initial data, because of the lateral growth mechanism. For example, we can take h0(x) = x1x>0 with   (0, 1/2) and check using the variational formula that h(t, 0) - h(0, 0)  t/(2-) for small
+t > 0, which can be much worse than H�lder 1/3-. On the other hand, the narrow wedge solution does satisfy h(t, 0; d0) - h(0, 0; d0)  t1/3. At other points h(0, 0; d0) = - while h(t, 0; d0) > - so there is not much sense to time continuity at a point. It should be measured instead in UC, which we
+leave for future work.
+
+4.7. Equilibrium space-time covariance. The only extremal invariant measures for TASEP are the Bernoulli measures and the blocking measures which have all sites to the right of x occupied and those the left of x unoccupied, where clearly no particle can move [Lig76]. The latter have no limit in our scaling. Choosing Bernoulli's with density (1 - 1/2)/2 we obtain by approximation that Brownian motion with drift   R is invariant for the KPZ fixed point, modulo absolute height shifts. More precisely, white noise plus an arbitrary height shift   R is invariant for the distribution valued spatial derivative process u = xh, which could be called the stochastic Burgers fixed point, since it is expected to be the 1:2:3 scaling limit of the stochastic Burgers equation (introduced by [Bur74])
+tu = xu2 + x2u + x
+
+satisfied by u = xh from (1.2). Dynamic renormalization was performed by [FNS77] leading to the dynamic scaling exponent 3/2. The equilibrium space-time covariance function was computed in [FS06] by taking a limit from TASEP:
+
+E[u(t, x)u(0, 0)] = 2-5/3t-2/3gsc(2-1/3t-2/3(2x - t)), where gsc(w) = s2dFw(s) with Fw(s) = s2(FGUE(s + w2)g(s + w2, w)), and where

+
+Since u(t, x) is essentially a white noise in x for each fixed t, one may wonder how the left hand
+
+side of (4.9) could even make sense. In fact, everything is easily made rigorous: For smooth functions  and  with compact support we define E[ , xh()(t) , xh()(0, �) ] through , xh()(t, �) =
+
+THE KPZ FIXED POINT

+
+This gives the equality (4.9) in the sense of distributions. But since the right hand side is a regular function, the left is as well, and the two sides are equal.
+
+The novelty over [FS06] is the existence of the stationary Markov process having this space-time covariance.
+
+APPENDIX A. PATH INTEGRAL FORMULAS
+
+A.1. An alternative version of [BCR15, Thm. 3.3]. We work in the setting of [BCR15, Sec. 3] and
+prove a version of [BCR15, Thm. 3.3] with slightly different assumptions. Given t1 < t2 < � � � < tn we consider an extended kernel Kext given as follows: For 1  i, j  n and x, y  X ((X, �) is a
+given measure space),
+
+Kext(ti, x; tj, y) =
+
+Wti,tj Ktj (x, y) -Wti,tj (I - Ktj )(x, y)
+
+if i  j, if i < j.
+
+(A.1)
+
+Additionally, we are considering multiplication operators Nti acting on a measurabe function f on X as Ntif (x) = ti(x)f (x) for some measurable function ti defined on X. M will denote the diagonal operator acting on functions f defined on {t1, . . . , tn}�X as M f (ti, �) = Ntif (ti, �).
+We will keep all of the notation and assumptions in [BCR15] except that their Assumption 2(iii) is replaced by
+
+Wti,tj Ktj Wtj ,ti = Kti
+
+(A.2)
+
+for all ti < tj. We are assuming here that Wti,tj is invertible for all ti  tj, so that Wtj,ti is defined as a proper operator21. Moreover, we assume that it satisfies
+
+Wtj,ti Kti = Kext(tj , �; ti, �)
+
+for all ti  tj, and that the multiplication operators Uti, Uti introduced in Assumption 3 of [BCR15] satisfy their Assumption 3(iii) with the operator in that assumption replaced by
+
+Uti Wti,ti+1 N ti+1 � � � Wtn-1,tn N tn Ktn - Wti,t1 N t1 Wt1,t2 N t2 � � � Wtn-1,tn N tn Ktn Uti . Note that these inverse operators inherit the semigroup property, so that now we have
+
+for all ti, tj, tk.
+
+Wti,tj Wtj ,tk = Wti,tk
+
+(A.3)
+
+Theorem A.1. Under Assumptions 1, 2(i), 2(ii), 3(i), and 3(ii) of [BCR15, Thm. 3.3] together with (A.2), (A.3) and the alternative Assumption 3(iii) above, we have
+det I - N Kext L2({t1,...,tn}�X) = det I - Ktn + Ktn Wtn,t1 N t1 Wt1,t2 N t2 � � � Wtn-1,tn N tn L2(X),
+
+where N ti = I - Nti .
+
+Proof. The proof is a minor adaptation of the arguments in [BCR15, Thm. 3.3], and we will use throughout it all the notation and conventions of that proof. We will just sketch the proof, skipping several technical details (in particular, we will completely omit the need to conjugate by the operators Uti and Vti, since this aspect of the proof can be adapted straightforwardly from [BCR15]).
+
+21This is just for simplicity; it is possible to state a version of Theorem A.1 asking instead that the product Ktj Wtj,ti be well defined.
+
+THE KPZ FIXED POINT
+

+
+In order to simplify notation throughout the proof we will replace subscripts of the form ti by i, so for example Wi,j = Wti,tj . Let K = N Kext. Then K can be written as
+K = N(W-Kd + W+(Kd - I)) with Kdij = Ki1i=j, Ni,j = Ni1i=j,
+where W-, W+ are lower triangular, respectively strictly upper triangular, and defined by
+Wi-j = Wi,j 1ij , Wi+j = Wi,j 1i n - i the left-hand side above equals 0 (the case k = 0 is interpreted as NiWi,nKn). As in [BCR15] this leads to
+
+i n-j
+
+Ki,n =
+
+(-1)k
+
+Wi,j Nj Wj, 1 N 1 W 1, 2 N W k-1 k-1, k N k W k,nKn.
+
+j=1 k=0 j= 0< 1<���< kn
+
+Replacing each N by I - N except for the first one and simplifying as in [BCR15] leads to
+
+Ki,n = Wi,i+1N i+1Wi+1,i+2N i+2 � � � Wn-1,nN nKn - Wi,1N 1W1,2N 2 � � � Wn-1,nN nKn.
+
+Setting i = n yields Kn,n = Kn - Wn,1N 1W1,2N 2 � � � Wn-1,nN nKn and then an application of the cyclic property of the determinant gives the result.

+A.2. Proof of the TASEP path integral formula. To obtain the path integral version (2.9) of the TASEP formula we use Theorem A.1. Recall that Qn-mnn-k = mm-k. Then for Kt(n) = Kt(n, �; n, �) we may write
+
+nj -1
+
+nj -1
+
+Qnj -ni Kt(nj ) =

+Qnj -ni nkj  nkj =

+nnii-nj+k  nkj = Kt(ni, �; nj , �) + Qnj-ni 1ni 0 will be fixed and we will not note the dependence of bounding constants on it. These constants will often change from line to line, with C indicating something bounded and c something strictly positive.
+

+
+B.1. The fixed point kernel is trace class. Here we prove is that for suitable  > 0, the (conjugated)
+
+fixed point kernel
+
+M (St,0)Kht/y2po(h0)Ke-pti/(g2)St,0M-1
+
+(B.3)
+
+is trace class (note that (St,0)St,0 = I). Using (4.4) we may rewrite (B.3) as
+
+M (St,0)Kht/y2po(h0)St,0
+
+(St,0)Ke-pti/(g2)St,0M-1 = M ( Ke3pt/i(2- h0) )M M-1Ketp/2i(g)M-1 = M-1Ke3pt/i(2- h0)M-1  M-1Kte/p2i(g)M-1 . (B.4)
+
+Thus it suffices to prove that each of the terms in the expansion (4.2) of Ketpi(g) is Hilbert-Schmidt after surrounding by M-1 and M-1. If g   then clearly Ketpi(g) = 0 and there is nothing to prove, so we may assume that g(x) <  for some x  R. The first term in (4.2) is (St,x)g(x)St,-x. We have

+Since g(y)  -C(1 + |y|) we have B( )  -C(1 +  ), with a bounded C which may depend on x. And, if we let  be the hitting time of -C(1 + |y|), we have   . We can replace the Airy function in St,-x- (B, u) by the monotone function Ai(z)  Ce-c(z0)-3/2 to bound the right hand side of (B.7) by

+
+B.2. Feller property. The first thing we need is to show that the hitting times are continuous with respect to our topology. Recall that for g  LC[0, ), we use  to denote the hitting time of epi(g) by the Brownian motion B.
+
+Lemma B.1. Suppose that, as n  , gn  g in LC[0, ) and Bn  B uniformly on compact sets. Let  n be the hitting time of epi(gn) by Bn. Then for any K, T < ,

+
+(B.10)
+
+Furthermore, the convergence is uniform over g in sets of bounded H�lder  norm,   (0, 1].
+
+Proof. { n  T } = supx[0,T ]{Bn(x) - gn(x)}  0. Since the supremand converges to B - g in UC, and since
+
+hn --U-C h =
+
+sup hn(x) --- sup h(x),
+
+n0
+
+x[-M,M ]
+
+n0 x[-M,M ]
+
+we have { n  T }  {  T }, and therefore (B.10) by the bounded convergence theorem.
+
+To prove the uniformity, note that if g ,[0,T ]  M and  > 0 then there is a  <  depending
+
+only on  and M so that any f whose epigraph has Hausdorff distance on [0, T ] less than  from g, has
+
+uniform distance on [0, T ] less than . Consider the event An = Bn - gn - B + g ,[0,T ] <  .
+
+Since Pu(Acn) - 0 (uniformly over g ,[0,T ]  M ), it is enough to consider the probabilities
+
+restricted to An. On An, u-  un  u+, where the subscript indicates the dependence on the
+
+starting point. Hence it suffices to show that
+
+K -K
+
+du
+
+P(u+  T ) - P(u-  T ) 2 - 0 uniformly
+
+over g ,[0,T ]  M . We use coupling. Let (B, B) be a pair of coalescing Brownian motions starting at
+
+(u + , u - ) defined by letting B(x) = 2u - B(x) until the first time u they meet, and B(x) = B(x)
+
+for x > u. We have P(u+  T ) - P(u-  T ) = P(B hit but B didn t)  P(u > u+). To get a lower bound on u+, note that g(x)  g(0) - M x so u+  u+ = the hitting time of g(0) - M x by B. Hence P(u+  T ) - P(u-  T )  P(u > u+), which depends only on 
+
+and M and goes to 0 as  0 for u < g(0).
+
+By repeating (B.3) through (B.9) with the difference of kernels and estimating using Lemma B.1, we obtain
+Corollary B.2. Suppose that gn - g in LC[0, ) and g(x) < . Then there exist  >  > 2|x|/t such that as n  , in Hilbert-Schmidt norm,
+M-1(S�etp,xi(gn))�gn(x)M - M (S�etp,xi(g))�g(x)M , M-1�gn(x)S�tep,-i(xgn)M-1 - M-1�g(x)S�etp,-i(xg)M-1, .
+In particular, the fixed point kernel (B.3) is a continuous function of (h0, g)  UC � LC into the space of trace class operators, and therefore the fixed point transition probabilities (4.5) are as well.
+The corollary together with Theorem 4.1 show that the map h0 - ph0(t, Ag) is continuous on Ag = {h  UC : h(x)  g(x), x  R} for any g  LC. Since these form a generating family for the Borel sets, every continuous function  on UC can be approximated by finite linear combinations, and therefore the map h0  Pt(h0) is continuous as well, i.e. the Feller property holds.

+
+Note the cutoffs e-2u and (v), (v) compensate for the non-integrability of St,x(v - u) and St,x(v - u) as u   and v  -. Hence we can bound the above by (2/2) times

+
+which vanishes as  0 as long as  + 2x/t > 0 by domination using Lemma B.3.
+
+Similarly, the square of the Hilbert-Schmidt norm of the left hand side of (B.12) is given by
+
+du dv e2v  (u)St,-x(u - v)�a (v) - (u)St,-x(u - v)�a(v) 2 .
+R2
+Now the cutoffs (u), (u) and �a(v), �a(v) compensate for the non-integrability of e2vSt,x(u- v) and e2vSt,x(u - v) as u  - and v  , and one can bound the integral analogously to the previous case to see that it vanishes as  0 (now under the condition  - 2x/t > 0).
+Finally the square of the Hilbert-Schmidt norm of the left hand side of (B.13) is given by
+
+dv du e-2v+2 u St,x(u - v)� (u) - St,x(u - v)�(u) 2.

+Again the cutoffs (v), (v) and e-2u compensate for the non-integrability of e2 vSt,x(u - v) and e2 vSt,x(u - v) as u   and v  -, and we get a bound of 2/2( - ) times

+
+(B.14)
+
+Furthermore, the convergence is uniform over g in sets of locally bounded H�lder  norm,   (0, 1].
+
+Proof. Since g - g in LC[0, ) and g(0) < , there exist x  0 with g(x)  g(0). By a slight recentering we can assume that x = 0. By proceeding as in the proof of Lemma B.4 we may replace �g(0) and �a by �g(0) and �a; the error terms introduced by this replacement are treated similarly.

+
+THE KPZ FIXED POINT
+

+
+B.4.1. Proof of Theorem 3.4. What remains is to justify the trace class convergence of the kernel in (2.25) to that in (3.16), after conjugating by M-1, with  (and later  ) chosen as in Lemmas B.4 and B.5. The convergence of the second and third terms of (2.25) is direct from (B.11)�(B.13) and (B.14). The convergence of the first term can be proved along the lines of the proof in [BFP07]. This obviously also shows that the extended kernel appearing in (3.17) is trace class after the conjugation.
+The proof of the path integral formula (3.18) is the same as the one for two-sided initial data (3.21), which we prove below.
+
+B.4.2. Proof of Theorem 3.5. Consider first the extended kernel formula (3.20). We need to justify the trace class convergence of the kernel M-1ai e-xi2 Kthypo(hL0 )exj2 aj M, as L  , to the same kernel but with hL0 replaced by h0. Before doing so it will be convenient to undo the steps following (3.16) (or, equivalently, use (4.4)) to go back to the representation in terms of epi operators, which
+leaves us with the operator
+
+M �-aj exj 2 Ketpi(- hL0 )e-xi2 �-ai M-1.
+
+(B.15)
+
+Recall now that Ketpi(g) = I - Stg where (in the case t = 2) Stg is the Brownian scattering operator introduced in [QR16, Def. 1.16]22. It was proved in [QR16, Thm. 3.2] that for a version of hL0 (x) truncated at |x| > L one has that S2,0�0S2- hL0 �0(S2,0) converges to the same operator but without truncation. It is straightforward now to check that the proof of this result still holds in our case (time 2 can be replaced by general time t > 0, using that our g has a linear bound; the St,0's can be removed without affecting the argument; the projections �aj and �aj play the same role as the �0's; and the operators exj2 and e-xi2 act simply on Ktepi(- hL0 ) without posing any problem), and inspecting the proof reveals that it in fact gives the convergence of (B.15). This argument also shows that the limiting
+operator is trace class (cf. [QR16, Prop. 3.5]),
+To verify the path integral formula (3.21) we go to the epi operator representation as above and
+look at det(I - K) with K as in (B.15) but without the conjugation. This time we are going to use
+[BCR15, Thm. 3.3] directly, so we need to check that K satisfies the assumptions. In the notation of that theorem we have Wxi,xj = e(xj-xi)2 for xi < xj , Kxi = e-xi2 Khtypo(h0)exi2 , Wxj,xi Kxi = e-xj2 Khtypo(h0)exi2 for xi < xj and Nxi = �-ai . We set also Vxi = M-1-ai , Vxi = M -ai , Uxi = M-1 and Uxi = M . Assumptions 1 and 3 are not hard to check using the arguments of Appendices B.1 and B.3 together with [BCR15, Lem. 3.1]. Assumption 2 is direct.
+
+B.4.3. Proof of Theorem 4.1. Our first task is to justify the continuum statistics limit (3.22). The
+original proof is in [CQR13, Prop. 3.2], which however assumes a bit more regularity of g. But the
+result is straightforward to extend to our setting using the arguments of Lemmas B.1 and B.5.
+Next we need to justify the trace class limit (after conjugation) of Kt,L := St/2,-Lg[-L,L](St/2,-L) to I - K-epti/(g2). By (B.4), after conjugating the whole kernel appearing in Section 3.5 by MSt,0 we see that it is enough to prove the convergence of M-1Kt,LM-1 with Kt,L = (St/2,-L)g[-L,L]St/2,-L to M-1(I-Ketp/2i(g))M-1. Now I-Kt,L is nothing but Ketp/2i(gL) with gL(x) = g(x)1|x|L+�1|x|>L (see [QR16, Prop. 3.4 and Eqs. 3.11, 3.12]), and we know from Corollary B.2 and the arguments in (B.5)�(B.9) that M-1Ketp/2i(gL)M-1 - M-1Ketp/2i(g)M-1 in trace norm as L   for large enough  . So M-1(I - Kt,L)M-1 - M-1Ketp/2i(g)M-1 1 - 0 with L   as needed.
+
+22A minor difficulty is that [QR16] works under an additional regularity assumpion on the barrier function g. However, it can be checked easily that the more general setting which we are considering here introduces no difficulties in the proof, see for instance Appendix B.1 and the proof of (B.10), and compare with the proof of [QR16, Prop. 3.5].

+APPENDIX C. REGULARITY
+
+In this section we obtain the necessary tightness on h(t, x) by obtaining uniform bounds on the local H�lder norm  < 1/2. Note we are working at t fixed and the bounds are as functions of x. Although we do not address it here, in principle one could obtain bounds on the entire rescaled space-time field for TASEP by using the Markov property. We start with a version of the Kolmogorov continuity theorem.

+Lemma C.1. Let h(x) be a stochastic process defined for x in an interval [-M, M ]  R, with one and two point distribution functions Fx(a) = P(h(x)  a) and Fx,y(a, b) = P(h(x)  a, h(y)  b). Suppose that there exist C <  and c > 0 such that for all x  [-M, M ],

+arXiv:1701.00019v1 [cs.RO] 30 Dec 2016
+
+Abstract-- This technical report addresses the problem of optimal surveillance of the route followed by a dynamic parade using a team of aerial robots. The dynamic parade is considered to take place within an urban environment, it is discretized and at every iteration, the algorithm computes the best possible placing of the aerial robotic team members, subject to their camera model and the occlusions arising from the environment. As the parade route is only as well covered as its least�covered point, the optimization objective is to place the aerial robots such that they maximize the minimum coverage over the points in the route at every time instant of it. A set of simulation studies is used to demonstrate the operation and performance characteristics of the approach, while computational analysis is also provided and verifies the good scalability properties of the contributed algorithm regarding the size of the aerial robotics team.
+
+as its least�covered point, the optimization objective is to place the aerial robots of the team such that they maximize the minimum coverage over the points in the route at every time instant of it. Figure 1 presents the motivation behind the algorithmic contribution of our work.
+
+I. INTRODUCTION
+Aerial robotics have demonstrated their ability to provide rapid coverage of complex areas and environments by exploiting miniaturized sensing technology and their advanced locomotion capabilities. Nowadays, aerial robots of very limited cost present robust flight behavior [1, 2], and can be equipped with a multi�modal sensing suite that may contain visible light cameras [3�5], thermal imaging [6�9] or even Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) devices [10] and more. At the same time, progress in robotic perception has enabled the online, real�time, 3D reconstruction of the environment [11�13], tracking of areas and targets of interest [14] or even semantic scene understanding [15]. Finally, the sucessful combination of modern path planning strategies with the real�time localization and mapping capabilities of the robot has allowed aerial robots to navigate or even explore autonomously in possibly cluttered, challenging and previously unknown environments [16�23].
+Aiming to further leverage these outstanding achievements, this work deals with the challenge of using aerial robots to monitor dynamic social phenomena such as parades taking place in our cities. In particular, we aim to address the problem of optimally coordinating and positioning a team of aerial robots �each of them equipped with a camera sensor� such that they can provide optimal surveillance of a dynamically evolving parade route taking place within an urban environment. The parade route is able to change its spatial distribution and form dynamically, the aerial robots are subject ot the limitations of their sensing modules and the goal is to optimize the totally achieved coverage along the parade route. As the parade route is only as well covered

+
+Fig. 1: Motivation figure of the optimal multi�aerial robot parade route surveillance algorithm: a team of aerial robots could be requested to provide coverage of a complex social event such as a parade in New York.
+To approach this problem, we contribute an algorithm that considers a team of aerial robots capable of flying holonomic trajectories and equipped with a camera sensor of limited field of view, assumes a dynamically evolving parade route within an urban environment consisting of buildings or other occlusion structures and aims to find the best possible "guarding" positions of the robot team such that optimal coverage is provided at every instance of the parade. As the parade route evolves, the robot team modifies its position to provide the best coverage at any time. As this problem is in general nonconvex and NP�hard, we contribute an algorithm that provides approximate solutions via convexification very fast. To demonstrate the capabilities of the algorithm we present a set of simulation studies, while the computational properties of the algorithm are also analyzed.
+The rest of this document is organized as follows: Section II overviews and details the specific problem considered, while Section III describes the proposed optimal multi�aerial robot dynamic parade route surveillance algorithm. Subsequently, Section IV presents detailed simulation results and computational analysis of the algorithm. Finally, conclusions
+
+are drawin Section V.
+II. PROBLEM DESCRIPTION
+A dynamic parade following the route trajectory r(t) is considered to take place in an urban 2D map, subsets of which are occupied by buildings�obstacles of rectangle shape. Given a set of S aerial robots capable of flying holonomic trajectories and a sensor model constrained by a field�of�view FOV, the problem is to find the set of aerial robot trajectories T(t) = [t1(t), t2(t), ..., tN (t)] that maximize the minimum coverage for every point of r(t). Due to its nature as a problem of finding dynamic guard positions to ensure coverage of a desired subset of the environment, this problem is expected to be NP�hard. The inclusion of visibility constraints and obstacles in the environment is then further complicating the effort to derive optimal solutions.

+
+max t
+
+(1)
+
+s.t. t  A(k)xg(k), xg(k)  {0, 1}n, 1T xg(k) = S
+
+This problem is nonconvex and, in general, NP�hard due to the necessary boolean decision variable in its definition. This fact necessitates the derivation of methods and approaches that can approximate the optimal solutions efficiently, while presenting superior performance characteristics. This can be achieved via appropriate relaxations leading to the convexification of the problem [24, 25].
+
+C. Relaxation for Convexification
+In order to perform an efficient �yet accurate� convexification of the problem, we form the following convex relaxation:
+
+The specifics of the algorithmic approach to solve the problem of optimal dynamic parade route surveillance using a team of aerial robots are provided below.
+A. Representation of the Parade Route
+The dynamic parade is considered to follow the route r(t) and its dynamic evolution is sampled every Ts. The time�trajectory r(t) is considered to be constructed via the sequential, piecewise connection of linear segments, an approach that allows to easily model a parade that takes place within an urban environment. For every k�th sample of the route r(k), it is discretized into a set of m points {r1(k), r2(k), ..., rm(k)}.
+B. Optimization Objective
+For the parade route r(t), its discretized version r(k) per k�th iteration of the algorithm, and considering a team of S aerial robots, an equal amount of "guard positions" is desired to be computed to optimize the parade coverage. These guard positions may be selected from an arbitrary large set of possible guard locations n (fixed or varying per iteration). For these guard positions, the decision variable xg(k)  {0, 1}n is defined and becomes xg(k)i = 1 if and only if a robot is placed at the i�th location. Associated with each robot location i is a coverage vector i(k)  Rm, which describes how well an aerial robot placed at location i would cover each point in the current of the current instance r(k) of the parade route. Assuming additive coverage, the vector that describes the total coverage of every edge will be defined by A(k)xg(k), where A(k)  Rm�n has i(k) as its i�th column.
+Subsequently, as the parade route is only as secure as its least well�covered point, the optimization problem that deals with how to optimally position the aerial robots for the k�th sample of the route r(k) takes the form:
+
+max t
+
+(2)
+
+s.t. t  A(k)xg(k), 0  xg(k)  1, 1T xg(k) = S
+
+by constraining xg(k)  [0, 1]n. In general, the solution to this relaxed problem, xg will have fractional variables [25]. As a boolean allocation is considered in order to specifically
+assign a guard location to every robot, the iterated weighted 1 heuristic will be used to achieve the recovery of a Boolean
+solution [25].
+
+D. Application of the Iterated Weighted 1 Heuristic
+In order to recover a boolean solution, an approach is
+to solve a sequence of convex problems where the linear term -wT xg(k) is added to the objective, and then picking the weight vector w  Rn+ at each iteration to try and induce a sparse solution vector xg(k). Enhancing sparsity via reweighted 1 optimization is an extensively employed approach in convex optimization. Broadly, given a set v and denoting its cardinality as card(v), the iterated weighted 1 heuristic is the process of minimizing card(v) over v  V through the following process:
+
+1:  = 0 2: while running do 3: minimize ||diag()v||1 over v  V 4: i = 1/( + vi|)
+
+Naturally, this process is extended for the case of matrices, while the matrix rank operator rank(�) is then acting with the role of the cardinality operator. For the problem of finding solution to the relaxed, convex, problem of Section III-C, the iterated 1 heuristic consists of initializing w = 0 and repeating the two steps:
+
+Step 1:
+
+max t - wT xg(k)
+
+(3)
+
+s.t. t  A(k)xg(k),
+
+0  xg(k)  1,
+
+1T xg(k) = S
+
+Step 2:
+
+Let wi = /( + xig), i
+
+(4)
+
+Until a Boolean solution is reached. Within these expressions,  and  are adjusted to promote a sparse solution. Typical choices would be  = 1 and  = 10-4. Intuitively, the weight vector w is incentivizing elements of xg(k) which were close to zero in the last iteration towards zero in the next iteration. It is highlighted that the 1 heuristic is characterized by increased performance as it typically converges within 5 or fewer iterations.
+
+E. Iterative Algorithm Execution
+The aforementioned steps provide the solution of placing a team of aerial robots at the optimal guard positions to ensure the best coverage of a fixed instane of the parade route. As the parade is in fact dynamic, these steps are executed iteratively. At every step k �sampled at a possibly varying sampling period Ts� the current instance of the route r(k) is used and the relevant optimal robot positions are computed. The reference commands to the robots are then provided to the team on a nearest neighbor fashion.
+
+IV. SIMULATION STUDIES AND ANALYSIS
+To verify and evaluate the functionality of the algorithm, a set of simulation studies are considered. Within those, a 2D city is considered and parades are designed to follow complex trajectories within the city building blocks. At the same time, we varied the number of robots as well as the number of potential guard positions sampled in the environment. Below, a subset of these results will be presented and the computational analysis will be summarized.
+Figure 2 presents the case of a 6 aerial robots commanded to monitor a complicated parade route traveling within the a city environment consisting of 10 building blocks. The dynamic trajectory of the parade is discretized to k1, ..., k37 samples and a total of 512 possible guard positions are sampled within the obstacle�free subset of the workspace of the problem. Each robot is considered to be equipped with a camera with horizontal field of view F OV = 175deg. As shown, the algorithm dynamically adapts the positions of the robots to find feasible, full�coverage solutions at all times. Figure 6 presents the computation characteristics of the solution per step of iteration.
+Similarly, Figure 3 presents the results of the identical set�up with the exception of sampling 2048 possible guard locations. As shown the results of the robots positioning are very similar for almost all iterations which indicates that as long as a sufficient number of guard positions is sampled, then further enlargement of this sampling space will not tend
+

Camera-occlusions are accounted for, while the field of view of the camera that equips every robot is considered to be 175deg. For this study 512 possible guard locations are sampled within the obstacle�free subset of the world.
+
+to lead to significantly better solutions. On the other hand, computational time increases a lot as shown in Figure 6, a fact that further highlights the need for a good prior tuning of the amount of guard positions to be sampled. As the sampling of possible guard positions is uniform however, tuning this value is in general only about having one good reference value for a given environment and then scaling with the surface of free space.
+Figure 4 presents the same case but now with 12 aerial robots. For this case, initially a total of 512 possible guard positions are sampled within the obstacle�free subset of the workspace of the problem. As shown, the solution is characterized with more close pressence of robots around the parade route. Figure 6 presents the computation characteristics of the solution per step of iteration.
+Similarly, Figure 5 presents the results of the identical set� up with the exception of sampling 4096 possible guard locations. Again the results of the robots positioning are similar for almost all iterations, which further denotes that very large sets of possible guard locations are not providing significant solution�quality benefits. On the other hand, computational time increases a lot as shown in Figure 6.
+Figure 6 summarizes the computational properties of the algorithm for the above mentioned simulation cases. Furthermore, Figure 7 presents the computational analysis of a set of studies with 6, 12, 24 robots, while keeping the amount of potential sampled guard positions fixed to 1024. As shown, the computational cost is very similar for the different robot teams both in the sense of the average value as well as of the evolution of it. This indicates the good scalability properties of the algorithm for arbitrary large teams of aerial robots.
+In summary, it was shown that the algorithm is able to deal with complex parade routes taking place in urban� like environments. Different sizes of robotic teams can be considered and the algorithm presents good computational scalability. Computation time is primarily affected by the size of the set of potential guard locations, which indicates that the size of the problem can influence the computation time. However, even in cases of very large potential guard location sets, the algorithm finds solutions within seconds - a performance considered to be sufficient given the large time scales of dynamic variations in social parades. At the current implementation of the algorithm, connection of subsequent optimal positions of the aerial robots team members relies on the nearest-neighbor concept as computed over collision� free trajectories. Future work will incorportate a full optimal solution employing Multiple�Vehicle�Routing�Problem solvers such as the implementation in [26].
+
+V. CONCLUSIONS
+This technical report deals with the problem of positioning of a team of aerial robots such that they provide optimal coverage of a dynamically evolving parade taking place in an urban environment. The problem is solved iteratively over sampled representations of the parade route and it relies on convex approximates of the original noncovex problem. As the parade route is only as well covered as its least�covered

+BRAIDED MULTIPLICATIVE UNITARIES AS REGULAR OBJECTS
+RALF MEYER AND SUTANU ROY
+Abstract. We use the theory of regular objects in tensor categories to clarify the passage between braided multiplicative unitaries and multiplicative unitaries with projection. The braided multiplicative unitary and its semidirect product multiplicative unitary have the same Hilbert space representations. We also show that the multiplicative unitaries associated to two regular objects for the same tensor category are equivalent and hence generate isomorphic C-quantum groups. In particular, a C-quantum group is determined uniquely by its tensor category of representations on Hilbert space, and any functor between representation categories that does not change the underlying Hilbert spaces comes from a morphism of C-quantum groups.
+1. Introduction
+The Tannaka�Krein Theorem by Woronowicz [11] recovers a compact quantum group from its tensor category of finite-dimensional representations, together with the forgetful functor to the tensor category of Hilbert spaces. We shall prove an analogue of this result for C-quantum groups, that is, quantum groups generated by manageable multiplicative unitaries. Our result asserts that an isomorphism between the tensor categories of Hilbert space representations that does not change the underlying Hilbert spaces lifts to an isomorphism of the underlying Hopf -algebras. More generally, we shall explain how to extract multiplicative unitaries from representation categories and how to lift tensor functors between representation categories to morphisms of multiplicative unitaries.
+This article grew out of a suggestion by David B�cher to clarify the construction of a semidirect product multiplicative unitary from a braided multiplicative unitary in [6,9]. A braided multiplicative unitary is supposed to describe a braided C-quantum group, which should be a Yetter�Drinfeld algebra over some other C-quantum group, equipped with a comultiplication B  B B into its Yetter�Drinfeld twisted tensor square. The semidirect product is constructed in [6, 9] by writing down a unitary and checking that it is multiplicative. The data of a braided multiplicative unitary consists of four unitaries, subject to seven conditions. All four unitaries must appear in the explicit formula, and all seven conditions must be used in the proof that the semidirect product is multiplicative. Thus the direct verification in [6] is rather complicated. Here we offer a conceptual explanation for this construction.
+The main idea behind this is the theory of regular objects in tensor categories by Pinzari and Roberts [8]. We prefer to call them natural right absorbers because the adjective "regular" is already used for too many other purposes. A natural right absorber in C gives rise to a multiplicative unitary W and a tensor functor from C

+
+to the tensor category of Hilbert space representations of W. Representations of the semidirect product multiplicative unitary should be equivalent to representations of the braided multiplicative unitary. This idea already appears in a special case in [1]. Here we extend this result to the general case. Starting with a braided multiplicative unitary, we define its representation category and describe a natural right absorber in it by combining two rather obvious pieces. The corresponding multiplicative unitary turns out to be the semidirect product. We also show that the functor from representations of the braided multiplicative unitary to representations of the semidirect product is an isomorphism of categories. The most difficult point here is to prove that any representation of the semidirect product comes from a representation of the braided multiplicative unitary.
+The semidirect product comes with a projection, which is another multiplicative unitary linked to it by pentagon-like equations. We interpret this projection through a projection on the representation category. More generally, we show that any tensor functor between representation categories that does not change the underlying Hilbert spaces lifts to a morphism between the associated multiplicative unitaries as defined in [3,7]. This also implies the weak Tannaka�Krein Theorem for C-quantum groups mentioned above. And it gives yet another equivalent description of quantum groups with projection.
+
+2. Natural right absorbers in Hilbert space tensor categories
+We are going to recall the notion of a (right) regular object of a tensor category from [8]. We call such an object a natural right absorber, avoiding the overused adjective "regular". Going beyond [8], we show that different natural right absorbers give isomorphic multiplicative unitaries with respect to the morphisms of C-quantum groups defined in [3,7]. We also add a further equivalent description of such quantum group morphisms through functors between representation categories, and we show that isomorphic multiplicative unitaries generate isomorphic C-quantum groups.
+Notation 2.1. Let Hilb denote the W-category of Hilbert spaces. This is a symmetric monoidal category for the usual tensor product  of Hilbert spaces, with the obvious associator (H1  H2)  H3 = H1  (H2  H3), the obvious unit transformations C  H = H = H  C, and the obvious symmetric braiding
+ : H1  H2  H2  H1, x1  x2  x2  x1.
+Let C be a W-category with a faithful forgetful functor For : C  Hilb. Faithfulness allows us to assume that C(x1, x2)  B(For(x1), For(x2)) for all objects x1, x2  C (we write  for objects of categories,  for arrows). We say that a  B(For(x1), For(x2)) comes from C if it belongs to C(x1, x2). We think of objects in C as Hilbert spaces with some extra structure, such as a representation of a (braided) multiplicative unitary; the morphisms are those bounded linear maps that preserve this extra structure. Motivated by this interpretation, we assume the following throughout this article:
+Assumption 2.2. If For(x) = For(x ) and the identity map on this Hilbert space comes from an arrow x  x , then x = x .
+We also want a functor  : Hilb  C with For   = idHilb. Thus  acts as the identity on arrows, and the arrows  (H1)   (H2) in C are exactly all bounded linear operators H1  H2. We abbreviate  x :=   For(x) for x  C. We interpret  as the functor that equips a Hilbert space H with the "trivial" extra structure to get an object in C. The existence of  is a very weak assumption, which follows, for instance, if C is monoidal and has direct sums.
+

+
+We assume that C is also a monoidal category, but not necessarily braided, such that both For and  are strict monoidal functors. This means, first, that For(x1 x2) = For(x1)For(x2) for all x1, x2  C and  (H1 H2) =  (H1) (H2) for all H1, H2  Hilb. Secondly, that the tensor unit in C is  C, which For maps back to the tensor unit in Hilb. Thirdly, For and  map associators and unit transformations in C to the obvious associators and unit transformations in Hilb. Finally, we require the following assumption, which is trivial to check in all cases we shall consider:
+Assumption 2.3. Let x1, x2, y  C and let a : For(x1)  For(x2) be such that a  id comes from an arrow x1  y  x2  y in C or id  a comes from an arrow y  x1  y  x2 in C. Then a itself comes from an arrow x1  x2 in C.
+Definition 2.4. A Hilbert space tensor category is a monoidal W-category C with a faithful, strict monoidal functor For : C  Hilb and a strict monoidal functor  : Hilb  C satisfying For   = idHilb and Assumptions 2.2 and 2.3.
+Example 2.5. Let W  U(H  H) be a multiplicative unitary. Let Rep(W) be the W-category of its (right) Hilbert space representations, with intertwiners as arrows. That is, the objects are pairs (K, U) where K is a Hilbert space and U  U(K  H) satisfies W23U12 = U12U13W23 in U (KHH). The arrows (K1, U1)  (K2, U2) are operators a  B(K1, K2) with U2a1 = a1U1, where a1 := aidH in the leg numbering notation. The forgetful functor Rep(W)  Hilb forgets the representation, and  (K) := (K, 1). The tensor product of two representations Ui  U(Ki  H), i = 1, 2, is U1 U2 := U113U223  U (K1  K2  H). Quick computations show that this is again a representation, that is associative, and that  (C) is a tensor unit, with the usual associator and unit transformations from Hilb. Since an operator of the form a1  B(K1  K2) for a  B(K1) commutes with U223, it is an intertwiner for U113U223 if and only if a is one for U1. Hence Assumption 2.3 holds. Assumption 2.2 holds because our objects are indeed Hilbert spaces with extra structure.
+Lemma 2.6. Let x1, x2  C, H  Hilb. Then an operator a : For(x1)  H  For(x2) comes from an arrow a^  C(x1   H, x2) if and only if the operators a : For(x1)  For(x2),   a(  ), come from arrows in C(x1, x2) for all   H. Analogous statements hold for operators H  For(x1)  For(x2), For(x1)  For(x2)  H, For(x1)  H  For(x2).
+Proof. An arrow a^  C(x1   H, x2), gives arrows a^ in C(x1, x2) with For(a^) = a by taking a^ := a^  idx1   (| ) , where | : C  H,   , and where we implicitly identify x1 = x1   C.
+For the converse, let (Pi)iI be a net of finite-rank projections converging weakly to the identity operator on H. Then the endomorphisms idx1   (Pi) of x1   H still converge weakly to the identity operator. Since C(x1   H, x2) is weakly closed, it suffices to lift a  (idx1   (Pi)) to an arrow in C for all i and then take a limit. Writing the finite-rank projection Pi as a sum of rank-1 projections, we further reduce to the lifting of an operator of the form a  | | for a unit vector   H. This is lifted by the following composite in C:
+x1   (H) -i-d--(--|) x1   (C) = x1 -a^ x2.
+Remark 2.7. The functor  is unique if it exists. Let H be a Hilbert space. Then any bounded linear operator C  H comes from an arrow  (C)   (H) in C. Conversely, let x be an object of C with For(x) = H such that any bounded linear map C  H comes from an arrow C  x. Hence the identity map  (H)  x comes from an arrow in C by Lemma 2.6. Then  (H) = x by Assumption 2.2.

+Given objects x1, x2, x3, y1, y2, y3  C, there are canonical maps

+
+T  T12 = T  idx3 , T  T23 = idx1  T.
+
+An arrow T13, however, cannot always be defined because this would require a braiding on C. Nevertheless, the operator T13 may be defined if the object in the middle is of the form  H. Lemma 2.6 implies that the flip operator
+
+ : For(x)  H  H  For(x),       ,
+
+comes from an arrow in C(x   H,  H  x) for all x  C, H  Hilb. We use these arrows in C to define
+
+C(x1  x2, y1  y2)  C(x1   H  x2, y1   H  y2), T  T13 := 23T1223 = 12T2312.
+
+Definition 2.8. Let C be a Hilbert space tensor category as above. A natural right absorber in C is an object   C together with unitaries
+U x : x     (x)   for all x  C
+
+with the following properties: (2.8.1) the unitaries U x are natural in the sense that the following diagram com-

+U2x32
+x1   (x2)   U1x31  (x1)   (x2)  
+
+Lemma 2.9. If  and (U x)xC are a natural right absorber for C, then U (H) = id(H) for any Hilbert space H.
+Proof. Assumption (2.8.2) for x1 = x2 = C =  (C) implies U (C) = idC. Any vector   H gives an arrow | :  (C)   (H). The naturality assumption (2.8.1) applied to these arrows gives U (H)(  ) =    for all   H,   For(). Thus U (H) = id.
+Example 2.10. Let W be a multiplicative unitary and let C = Rep(W) as in Example 2.5. The pentagon equation says that the unitary W is also a representation of itself. A unitary U  U(K H) is a representation if and only if it is an intertwiner
+(K  H, U13W23) = (K  H, U W)  (K  H, idK W) = (K  H, W23).
+We claim that W with the family of arrows U : (K, U)  (H, W)  (K, idK)  (H, W) is a natural right absorber in Rep(W). First, the arrows in Rep(W) are exactly those operators for which the arrows U above are natural. Secondly, the tensor product of two representations is defined exactly so as to verify (2.8.2).

+
+Proposition 2.11 ([8, Theorem 2.1]). Let (C, For, , ) be a Hilbert space tensor category and let  and (U x)xC be a natural right absorber for C. For x  C, let Hx := For(x), and let us also write U x for For(U x)  U (Hx  H). Then U  is a multiplicative unitary, and U x for x  C is a right representation of U . This
+construction gives a fully faithful, strict tensor functor from C to the tensor category Rep(U ) of representations of the multiplicative unitary U , which intertwines the forgetful functors from C and Rep(U ) to Hilb.
+
+Proof. The condition (2.8.2) and Lemma 2.9 give U x(H) = U1x3 : x   (H)     (x)   (H)  .
+Let x  C. Then U x  C(x  ,  x  ) is an intertwiner. So we may apply naturality to it. This and condition (2.8.2) give the commuting diagram of unitaries
+ (x)     U1x2 x     U23 x   ()

+U23=U  x
+ (x)   ()   U1x2
+
+U x
+ (x  )  
+
+U1x3
+ (x)   ()  
+
+That is, U1x2U1x3U23 = U23U1x2. When we take x = , this is the pentagon equation for U . For general x, it says that U x is a right representation of U .
+The naturality of U x says that arrows x1  x2 in C are intertwiners U x1  U x2 . To prove that we have a fully faithful functor, we must show the converse. So let a : Hx1  Hx2 be an intertwiner U x1  U x2 . Then we get an arrow

+
+
+
+
+
+Since a is an intertwiner, the forgetful functor maps this composite arrow to a  idH . Since this operator comes from C, Assumption 2.3 ensures that a also comes from C.
+Thus any intertwiner comes from an arrow in C. This finishes the proof that the functor from C to the category of right representations of U  is fully faithful. By
+construction, our functor intertwines the forgetful functors to Hilb. The condition (2.8.2) says exactly that U x1x2 is the tensor product representation
+U x1  U x2 . Since we assumed For to map the associator and unit transformations in C to the usual ones in Hilb, the functor x  U x from C to the representation category of U  is a strict tensor functor.
+
+We have not found a "nice" characterisation when the functor C  Rep(U ) is essentially surjective, that is, when every representation of U  comes from an
+object of C. An artificial example where this is not the case is the subcategory of Rep(U ) consisting of all representations that are either trivial or a direct sum of
+subrepresentations of . This has all the structure that we require. And it is also closed under direct sums and subrepresentations. If Rep(U ) is, say, the category
+of representations of the group Z of integers, then the representations given by non-trivial characters on Z are missing in this subcategory.
+
+Example 2.12. Let W  U(H  H) be a multiplicative unitary. A left representation of W on a Hilbert space K is a unitary V^  U(H  K) satisfying
+V^ 23W12 = W12V^ 13V^ 23  U (H  H  K). The tensor product of two left representations V^ i  U (H  Ki), i = 1, 2, is the left representation on K1  K2 defined by
+V^ 1 V^ 2 := V^ 213V^ 112  U (H  K1  K2).
+Left representations of W also form a Hilbert space tensor category with the obvious forgetful functor and  (H) = (H, 1). Actually, this tensor category is isomorphic to
+
+6
+
+RALF MEYER AND SUTANU ROY
+
+the category of right representations of the dual multiplicative unitary W = W: the isomorphism takes a left representation V^  U(K H) to the right representation V^   U(HK) of W. Since W is a natural right absorber for right representations
+of W by Example 2.10, the unitary W, viewed as a left representation, is a natural right absorber in the tensor category of left representations of W. The natural intertwiner is
+V^  : (K  H, V^ W)  (K  H, 1K W).
+
+Next we want to prove that the multiplicative unitaries for two natural right absorbers of C are isomorphic in the category of multiplicative unitaries introduced in [7] and further studied in [3].

+Proposition 2.13. Let (, (U x)xC) and (, (U x)xC) be two natural right absorbers for (C, For). Let H := H, H := H, U := U   U (H  H), U := U  
+U(H  H) be the corresponding multiplicative unitaries. The unitaries
+
+V := U   U (H  H), W := U   U (H  H)
+
+satisfy the following pentagon-like equations:
+
+U23V12 = V12V13U23, V23U12 = U12V13V23, V23W12 = W12U13V23,
+
+U23W12 = W12W13U23, W23U12 = U12W13W23, W23V12 = V12U13W23.
+
+If the multiplicative unitaries U and U are manageable, then V and W give morphisms between the corresponding C-quantum groups that are inverse to each other in the category of C-quantum groups defined in [3].
+
+Proof. Our assumptions are symmetric in (, U ) and (, U ). When we exchange
+them, the equations in the first column become the corresponding ones in the second
+column. So it suffices to prove those in the first column. We already know that V = U  is a right representation of U , which gives the first equation. The other
+equations are proved similarly. For the second equation, we use the naturality of U for the intertwiner U :      ()   and rewrite U  = U13U23 = V13V23 and U () = U23 = V23. For the third equation, we use the naturality of U for the intertwiner W :      ()   and rewrite U  = U13U23 = U13V23 and U  () = U23 = V23.
+Morphisms of quantum groups are described in [3, Lemma 3.2]. The equations U23V12 = V12V13U23 and V23U12 = U12V13V23 say that V is a morphism from U to U . The equations U23W12 = W12W13U23 and W23U12 = U12W13W23 say that W is a morphism from U to U . The product of two morphisms is defined in [3, Definition 3.5]
+as the solution of a certain operator equation. The equation V23W12 = W12U13V23 says that the product of V and W is U . The equation W23V12 = V12U13W23 says that the product of W and V is U . Manageability is needed in [3] to ensure that
+the equation in [3, Definition 3.5] always has a solution. So manageability is needed
+to talk about a category of morphisms between multiplicative unitaries.
+
+Example 2.14. Let (, U ) be a natural right absorber for C and let y  C. Then  =   y with U x := U x  idy for all x  C is a natural right absorber as well. The corresponding multiplicative unitary is
+
+(2.1)
+
+U y = (U y)123 = U13U2y3  U (H  Hy  H  Hy).
+
+Proposition 2.13 shows that U  and U y are isomorphic multiplicative unitaries
+
+when they are both manageable, compare [6, Theorem 3.7].

+
+We now extend the analysis above to describe functors between representation categories. Let C1 and C2 be Hilbert space tensor categories with natural right absorbers (1, U1) and (2, U2), respectively. Let  : C1  C2 be a strict tensor functor with For2   = For1. If C1 and C2 are representation categories, then this means that  turns a representation of one sort into one of the other on the same Hilbert space in a natural way and preserving tensor products. Such a functor also satisfies   1 = 2 by the argument in Remark 2.7.
+
+Proposition 2.15. Let  : C1  C2 be a strict tensor functor with For2   = For1. The unitary V  := U2(1)  U (H1  H2 ) satisfies
+
+(U22 )23V12 = V12V13(U22 )23,
+
+V23(U11 )12 = (U11 )12V13V23,
+
+that is, V  is a bicharacter from U11 to U22 . Moreover, for any x  C1,
+
+(2.2)
+
+V23(U1x)12 = (U1x)12(U2(x))13V23  U (Hx  H1  H2 ).
+
+If the multiplicative unitary U11 is manageable and C2 = Rep(U22 ), then the map from functors  : C1  C2 as above to unitary bicharacters V  U (H1  H2 ) from U11 to U22 is bijective. If the multiplicative unitaries U11 and U22 are both manageable, then V  is a morphism between the corresponding C-quantum groups in the category defined in [3].
+
+Proof. The first two equations in the proposition say that V  is a morphism of C-quantum groups as in [3, Lemma 3.2] provided the multiplicative unitaries U11 and U22 are manageable, so that they generate C-quantum groups. We already know that V  is a right representation of U22 , which is the first equation. The second equation is the special case x = 1 of the third one. The third equation says that the functor on representation categories induced by V  is , as expected. We
+prove this third equation by identifying
+
+(x  1) = (x)  (1), ( (x)  1) =  ((x))  (1),
+
+U2(x1) = (U2(x))13V23, U2( (x)1) = (U2(1))23 = V23,
+
+and using the naturality of U2 for the intertwiner (U1x) : (x  1)  ( (x)  1). This gives (2.2). This is equivalent to (U2(x))13 = (U1x)12V23(U1x)12(V23), which determines the object (x) of C2 by Proposition 2.11. This describes how  acts on
+objects. Then its action on arrows is determined by the faithful forgetful functor to Hilbert spaces. So V  determines the functor .
+Now assume that U11 is manageable. Let V  U (H1  H2 ) be a bicharacter. Any bicharacter induces a functor  between the representation categories by
+[3, Proposition 6.5]. The proof of this proposition does not describe this functor 
+explicitly. An explicit formula for  is similar to the formula for the composition
+of bicharacters, which is a special case. Namely, let x  C1. As in the proof of [3, Lemma 3.6], manageability shows that there is a unitary operator U2(x) that verifies (2.2); moreover, U2(x) is a representation of U22 , and there is a unique functor  : C1  Rep(U22 ) with For   = For that sends x  C to this representation and that acts by the identity map on arrows, viewed as Hilbert space operators. This
+functor is a strict tensor functor. Any functor  is of this form for the corresponding bicharacter V . This gives the desired bijection.
+
+Proposition 2.15 gives yet another equivalent characterisation of the quantum
+group morphisms of [3]: they are equivalent to strict tensor functors between the
+representation categories with For   = For. This result is similar in spirit to [3, Theorem 6.1], which uses coactions on C-algebras instead of representations.

+
+2.1. Left and right absorbers. A natural left absorber in C is defined like a natural right absorber, but on the other side:
+
+Definition 2.16. A natural left absorber in C is an object   C with unitaries
+
+Ux :   x     (x) for all x  C
+
+with the following properties:
+(2.16.1) the unitaries Ux are natural in the sense that the following diagram commutes for any arrow a : x1  x2:
+
+  x1
+
+Ux1 =
+
+   (x1)
+
+id a
+
+id a
+
+  x2
+
+Ux2 =
+
+   (x2)
+
+(2.16.2) for all x1, x2  C, the following diagram commutes:
+  x1  x2 Ux1x2    (x1  x2)
+(Ux1 )12
+   (x1)  x2 (Ux2 )13    (x1)   (x2)
+
+The analogue of Lemma 2.9 holds for natural left absorbers as well, that is, U(H) = id(H) for any Hilbert space H.
+Let W be a multiplicative unitary. Then the categories of left and of right representations of W have a canonical natural right absorber by Examples 2.10 and 2.12. It is unclear, in general, whether they have a natural left absorber as well. The only construction of left absorbers that we know uses the contragradient operation to turn a right into a left absorber. For contragradients to exist, we assume W to be manageable. We work with right representations of W. The contragradient of a representation U on a Hilbert space H is a representation U on the complex-conjugate Hilbert space H. The contragradient construction becomes a covariant functor Rep(W)  Rep(W) when we map an intertwiner a : H1  H2 to a : H1  H2. This is not quite a W-functor because it is conjugate-linear, not linear. The contragradient of a trivial representation remains trivial. The
+contragradient operation is involutive, that is, U = U for representations and a = a for intertwiners. It reverses the order of tensor factors: the flip operator  : H1  H2  H2  H1 = H2  H1 intertwines U1 U2 with the contragradient of U1 U2, see [10, Section 3].
+Let (, (U x)xRep(W)) be a natural right absorber for Rep(W). For instance, we may take the canonical one described in Example 2.10. Let  :=  be the contragradient of , so  = . Let Ux :   x   ()  x for x  Rep(W) be the composite unitary intertwiner
+  x =   x - x~  ~ -U-x~  (x~)   =  (x)   -    (x) =    (x).
+Routine computations show that (, (Ux)) is a natural left absorber if (, (U x)) is a natural right absorber. This proves the following:
+Proposition 2.17. Let W be a multiplicative unitary. If W is manageable, then its tensor category of representations Rep(W) contains both a natural right absorber and a natural left absorber.
+
+BRAIDED MULTIPLICATIVE UNITARIES AS REGULAR OBJECTS

+
+If C has both a right absorber  and a left absorber , then
+ ()   =    =    ().
+That is, the direct sums of infinitely many copies of  and  are isomorphic. This common direct sum is both a left and a right absorber, and its isomorphism class does not depend on the choice of  or . These observations go back already to [8], and they need only absorption, without any naturality. We are going to use the uniqueness of two-sided absorbers to prove that any isomorphism between the representation categories of two C-quantum groups comes from an isomorphism of Hopf -algebras. First we need a preparatory result, which would really belong into [3], but was not proved there.
+Theorem 2.18. The isomorphisms in the category of C-quantum groups defined in [3] are the same as the Hopf -isomorphisms of the underlying C-bialgebras.
+Proof. It is trivial that a Hopf -isomorphism induces an isomorphism in the category of [3]. Conversely, an isomorphism between two C-quantum groups (Ci, Ci ), i = 1, 2, in the category of [3] only gives a Hopf -isomorphism between their universal dual quantum groups C^1u = C^2u (or C1u = C2u, but we shall use the dual isomorphism below). For locally compact quantum groups with Haar weights, an isomorphism C1u = C2u implies a Hopf -isomorphism between (C1, C1 ) and (C2, C2 ) because the invariant weights on C1u = C2u are unique, see [2, p. 873]. We shall generalise this to C-quantum groups generated by manageable multiplicative unitaries. The Hopf -isomorphism C^1u = C^2u induces an isomorphism between the representation categories of (C1, C1 ) and (C2, C2 ).
+Let Wi  U (Hi  Hi), i = 1, 2, be manageable multiplicative unitaries that generate (Ci, Ci ). We view Wi as a right representation of (Ci, Ci ) on Hi. The representation of C^iu associated to Wi descends to a faithful representation of C^i: this is the standard construction of C^i  B(Hi) from a multiplicative unitary in [10]. Thus we have to prove that the representations of C^1u = C^2u associated to W1 and W2 have the same kernel. Since our multiplicative unitaries are manageable, the representation category
+C := Rep(W1) = Rep((C1, C1 )) = Rep((C2, C2 )) = Rep(W2)
+contains both a natural left and a natural right absorber by Proposition 2.17. Both W1 and W2 are natural right absorbers. By the remarks above, the direct sums (W1) and (W2) of infinitely many copies of W1 and W2 are isomorphic objects of C because they are both isomorphic to the direct sum of infinitely many copies of a natural left absorber. Therefore, the representations of C^1u associated to (W1) and (W2) have the same kernel. Then the representations of C^1u associated to W1 and W2 also have the same kernel. Thus our Hopf -isomorphism C^1u = C^2u descends to a Hopf -isomorphism C^1 = C^2. This implies a Hopf -isomorphism C1 = C2.
+Corollary 2.19. A C-quantum group (C, C) is determined uniquely by its tensor category Rep(C, C) of representations with the forgetful functor to Hilb.
+Proof. Assume to begin with that there is an equivalence of tensor categories F0 from Rep(C, C ) to Rep(D, D) such that the forgetful functors For  F0 and For to Hilb are naturally isomorphic. This natural isomorphism consists of natural unitaries (H,V ) : For(F0(H, V )) - H for all Hilbert spaces H with a representation V of (C, C ). We use (H,V ) on the first leg to transfer the representation F0(H, V ) of (D, D) to the Hilbert space H. This gives another equivalence of tensor categories F from Rep(C, C) to Rep(D, D) such that the tensor functors For  F
+
+10
+
+RALF MEYER AND SUTANU ROY
+
+and For are equal. Thus F turns a representation of (C, C) on a Hilbert space H into a representation of (D, D) on the same Hilbert space and maps an intertwiner for (C, C) to the same operator, now as an intertwiner for (D, D). Since the forgetful functor to Hilbert spaces is faithful and strict, the functor F is a strict
+tensor functor as well. We may improve the inverse equivalence to a strict tensor
+functor acting identically on objects as well. Thus F is an isomorphism of tensor
+categories. Let WC and WD be manageable multiplicative unitaries that generate (C, C )
+and (D, D). A representation of (C, C ) is equivalent to one of WC on the same Hilbert space. So Rep(C, C ) = Rep(WC ). Similarly, Rep(D, D) = Rep(WD). So WC and WD are natural right absorbers in Rep(C, C ) = Rep(D, D) by Example 2.10. By Proposition 2.13, the multiplicative unitaries WC and WD are
+isomorphic in the category of [3]. Theorem 2.18 shows that this isomorphism is a Hopf -isomorphism.
+
+Proposition 2.11 has a variant for natural left absorbers. Let  and (U x)xC be a natural left absorber for C. For x  C, let Hx := For(x), and write U x for For(U x)  U (H  Hx). Then U  is an "antimultiplicative" unitary:
+U12U23 = U23U13U12.
+Moreover, U x for x  C is a left representation of U :
+U2x3U1x3U12 = U12U2x3.
+We define a tensor product for representations of U  by
+U V := V13U12.
+The map x  U x gives a fully faithful, strict tensor functor from C to Rep(U ), which intertwines the forgetful functors from C and Rep(U ) to Hilb.
+Similarly, there is an analogue of Proposition 2.13, saying that the antimultiplicative unitaries H := H, H := H, U := U , U := U  associated to two natural left absorbers (, (U x)xC) and (, (U x)xC) are "isomorphic" in a suitable sense. Namely, the unitaries
+V := U   U (H  H), W := U   U (H  H)
+
+satisfy the following pentagon-like equations:
+
+U12V23 = V23V13U12, V12U23 = U23V13V12, V12W23 = W23U13V12,
+
+U12W23 = W23W13U12, W12U23 = U23W13W12, W12V23 = V23U13W12.
+
+It is also interesting to apply the same technique to a tensor category with a natural right absorber (, (U x)xC) and a natural left absorber (, (U x)xC). Let H := H, H := H, U := U , U := U  be the associated multiplicative and antimultiplicative
+unitaries. Define
+
+V := U   U (H  H), W := U   U (H  H).
+
+These unitaries satisfy the following pentagon-like equations:
+
+U12V23 = V23V13U12, U23V12 = V12V13U23, V13W12 = W12V13U23,
+
+U12W23 = W23W13U12, U23W12 = W12W13U23, W13V23 = V23W13U13.
+
+BRAIDED MULTIPLICATIVE UNITARIES AS REGULAR OBJECTS
+
+11
+
+The proofs are similar to those in Proposition 2.13. In addition, let x be any object of C. Naturality of U with respect to the intertwiner U x : x     (x)   gives
+
+(2.3)
+
+U1x2 = (U13)(U2x3)U13U2x3 = W13(U2x3)W13U2x3.
+
+Naturality of U with respect to the intertwiner U x :   x     (x) gives
+
+(2.4)
+
+U2x3 = (U23)(U1x2)U23U1x2 = V23(U1x2)V23U1x2.
+
+Here U x and U x are the representations of U and U associated to x, respectively. So
+
+these determine each other. If C = Rep(U ) for a manageable multiplicative unitary U and U comes from its contragradient as above, then also C = Rep(U ). So for a given representation U x of U , there is a unique representation U x of U satisfying (2.3). And for a given representation U x of U , there is a unique representation U x of U
+
+satisfying (2.4).
+
+Multiplicative and antimultiplicative unitaries are closely related to the Heisenberg
+
+and anti-Heisenberg pairs studied in [4]. By definition, a Heisenberg pair for a C-quantum group (C, C) is a pair of representations (, ^) of (C, C^) such that (^  )W for the reduced bicharacter W  U(C^  C) is a multiplicative unitary. And an anti-Heisenberg pair is a pair of representations (, ^) of (C, C^) such that
+
+(^  )W is an antimultiplicative unitary.
+
+3. Representations of braided multiplicative unitaries
+
+Let H and L be Hilbert spaces and let W  U(H  H) be a multiplicative unitary. Let
+U  U(L  H), V^  U(H  L), F  U(L  L),
+be a braided multiplicative unitary over W (see [6]). We are first going to define a tensor category Rep(W, U, V^ , F) of right representations.
+
+Definition 3.1. A (right) representation of (W, U, V^ , F) is a triple (K, S, T), where K is a Hilbert space, S  U(K  H) is a right representation of W on K, that is,
+
+(3.1)
+
+W23S12 = S12S13W23 in U (K  H  H),
+
+and T  U(K  L) is equivariant with respect to the tensor product representation S U of W,
+
+(3.2)
+
+S13U23T12 = T12S13U23 in U (K  L  H),
+
+and satisfies the (top-braided) representation condition
+
+(3.3)
+
+F23T12 = T12(L L)23T12(L L)23F23 in U (K  L  L).
+
+We recall how the braiding operators L K : L  K  K  L are defined, where K carries a representation S  U(K  H) of W. Namely, L K := Z for the unique Z  U(K  L) with
+
+(3.4)
+
+Z13 = V^ 23(S12)V^ 23S12
+
+in U(K  H  L).
+
+The braiding in (3.3) is the same as in the top-braided pentagon equation for F.
+Hence (L, U, F) is an example of such a right representation. A morphism (K1, S1, T1)  (K2, S2, T2) is a bounded operator a : K1  K2 that
+intertwines both representations, that is, a1  S1 = S2  a1 and a1  T1 = T2  a1. This turns the representations of (W, U, V^ , F) into a W-category Rep(W, U, V^ , F).
+Forgetting both representations S and T gives the forgetful functor to Hilbert spaces.
+The functor  maps K  (K, 1, 1). If the identity map on K is an intertwiner (K, S1, T1)  (K, S2, T2), then S1 = S2 and T1 = T2. So Assumption 2.2 is satisfied.
+
+12
+
+RALF MEYER AND SUTANU ROY
+
+We define a tensor product operation on Rep(W, U, V^ , F) by (K1, S1, T1) (K2, S2, T2) := (K1  K2, S1 S2, T1 T2)
+
+with
+
+S1 S2 = S113S223  U (K1  K2  H), T1 T2 = (L K2)23T112(K2 L)23T223  U (K1  K2  L).
+
+The braiding operators L
+
+K2 23
+
+and
+
+K2
+
+L use only the representations S on K2 and V^
+
+on L and therefore make sense. In contrast, K2 L and L K2 would be defined if we
+
+had a left representation of W on K2 instead of a right one.
+
+Lemma 3.2. The above definitions turn Rep(W, U, V^ , F) into a Hilbert space tensor category.
+
+Proof. First, we ought to check that the tensor product above is well-defined, that
+is, gives representations again. We check associativity of the tensor product first
+because we want to use it to prove that the tensor product is again a representation. Let Si  U (Ki  H) and Ti  U (Ki  L) for i = 1, 2, 3 be corepresentations of W, U, V^ , F. The definition of T T makes sense for any W-equivariant unitary operators T, T . Thus both (T1 T2) T3 and T1 (T2 T3) are defined even if we do not yet know that T1 T2 and T2 T3 give representations again. We claim that both (T1 T2) T3 and T1 (T2 T3) are equal to the W-equivariant unitary
+
+(3.5)
+
+(L K2K3)234T112(K2K3 L)234(L K3)34T223(K3 L)34T334
+
+in U (K1  K2  K3  L). The operators L Ki : L  Ki  Ki  L are defined by L Ki := Zi, where Zi  U (Ki  L) satisfies
+
+(3.6)
+
+Z1i3 = V^ 23(Si12)V^ 23Si12
+
+in U (Ki  H  L)
+
+for i = 1, 2, 3. And L K1K2 = Z122312, where Z12  U (K1  K2  L) satisfies
+
+(3.7)
+
+Z11224 = V^ 34(S1 S2)123V^ 34(S1 S2)123
+
+in U (K1  K2  H  L).
+
+This equation gives Z12 = Z223Z113 when we plug in the definition of and eliminate S1, S2 and V^ using (3.6). Therefore,
+
+L
+
+K1K2 = Z122312 = Z223Z1132312 = Z22323Z11212 = L
+
+K2 L 23
+
+K112.
+
+Similarly, L
+
+K2K3 = L
+
+K3 L 23
+
+K212. Now both T1
+
+(T2
+
+T3) and (T1
+
+T2)
+
+T3
+
+and the expression in (3.5) are equal because they all simplify to
+
+L
+
+K3 L 34
+
+K2 23 T112 K2
+
+L 23
+
+T223
+
+K3
+
+L 34
+
+T334.
+
+Next, we check that the tensor product of two representations is again a representation. The proof will also help to construct a natural right absorber later. We claim that an operator T  U(K  L) together with (K, S)  Rep(W) gives a representation if and only if T is an intertwiner
+
+(K  L, S U, T F)  (K  L, S U, 1 F).
+
+Indeed, being such an intertwiner means being equivariant with respect to S U and intertwining T F = (L K2)23T12(K2 L)23F23 with 1 F = F23. The latter is exactly our representation condition. Assume that T1  U (K1  L) and T2  U (K2  L) are braided representations. Since T223 is equivariant, when we conjugate it with the braiding operator (L K2L)234 on K1  K2  L  L, then we merely transfer it to T234, which commutes with T112. Thus (3.5) shows that T223 is also an intertwiner
+(K1  K2  L, S1 S2 U, T1 T2 F)  (K1  K2  L, S1 S2 U, T1 1 F).
+
+BRAIDED MULTIPLICATIVE UNITARIES AS REGULAR OBJECTS
+
+13
+
+Similarly, the braiding operator K2 L gives an intertwiner
+K2 L
+(3.8) (K1K2L, S1 S2 U, T1 1 F) -----23 (K1LK2, S1 U S2, T1 F 1).
+Now the operator T112 is an intertwiner (K1  L  K2, S1 U S2, T1 F 1)  (K1  L  K2, S1 U S2, 1 F 1).
+The unitary L K2 gives an intertwiner from the last representation back to
+(K1  K2  L, S1 S2 U, 1 1 F).
+Hence T1 T2 has the expected intertwining property to be a representation. Now we check Assumption 2.3. Let a  B(K1) be such that a1  U (K1  K2) is
+an intertwiner for the tensor product representation. Since a commutes with S223, the equivariance with respect to S1 S2 gives that a is S1-equivariant. Since a1 commutes with T1 T2, (L K2K3)234, and T223, it follows that a is an intertwiner for T112 as well.
+Finally, the functors For and  are strict tensor functors by definition, and  (C) with the canonical unit transformations is indeed a tensor unit.
+
+Proposition 3.3. The representation
+ = (H  L, W U, 1 F) is a natural right absorber for the tensor category Rep(W, U, V^ , F).
+Proof. We must construct an intertwiner Ax : x   (x) for any representation x = (K, S, T) of (W, U, V^ , F). We claim that the composite operator
+
+(K  H  L, S W U, T 1H F) -T--1-H  (K  H  L, S W U, 1K 1H F)
+
+-S-12 (K  H  L, 1K W U, 1K 1H F)
+
+has the properties required in Definition 2.8. The triple (K, S, 1) is a representation of (W, U, V^ , F) for any right representation S of W, and a map between representations
+
+of this form is an intertwiner if and only if it is an intertwiner for the representations
+
+of W. In particular, the second map S12 above is an intertwiner, see Example 2.10. Moreover, since there are representations (H, W, 1) and x  (H, W, 1) = (K  H, S
+
+W, F 1), the map T 1H above is an intertwiner as well, see the proof of Lemma 3.2. Thus the composite map is an intertwiner x     (x)   as needed. These two
+
+operators and their composite are natural by construction, that is, (2.8.1) holds.
+
+We check condition (2.8.2). Let (Ki, Si, Ti) be representations of (W, U, V^ , F). We
+
+shall use the diagram in Figure 1. This diagram uses short-hand notation for
+
+representations.
+
+For instance,
+
+S1 S2 U W T1 T2 F 1
+
+denotes the representation
+
+(K1  K2  L  H, S1 S2 U W, T1 T2 F 1).
+
+All braiding operators in this diagram exist because the Hilbert space L is on the top strand. They are intertwiners of braided representations, compare (3.8). The remaining arrows are also intertwiners of braided representations by the proof of Lemma 3.2. Before we show that the diagram in Figure 1 commutes, we deduce the condition (2.8.2) from it. The arrow from the (2, 1)-entry to the (2, 5)-entry in Figure 1 along the top boundary is the intertwiner
+
+T1 T2 1H : (K1  K2  H  L, S1 S2 W U, T1 T2 1 F)  (K1  K2  H  L, S1 S2 W U, 1 1 1 F ),
+compare the proof in Lemma 3.2 that the tensor product is associative. And the arrow going downward from there is (S1 S2)123. So the composite arrow is the

+absorbing intertwiner for the tensor product (K1  K2, S1 S2, T1 T2). Similarly, the arrows labeled A2 and A1 are the absorbing intertwiners for (K2, S2, T2) and (K1, S1, T1), respectively. Hence the commutativity of the boundary of the diagram in Figure 1 is exactly (2.8.2).
+Now we check that the diagram in Figure 1 commutes. The four triangles of braiding operators commute because the braiding operators have enough of the properties of a braided monoidal category, compare the proof in Lemma 3.2. The two pentagons with A1 and A2 as one of the faces commute by definition of our absorbing intertwiners. The two parallelograms with S2 and braiding operators commute because the braiding operators are natural with respect to intertwiners of W-representations. The square with T112 and S234 commutes because we operate on different legs. Finally, we consider the square involving T1 and the braiding operator K2 L. Here K2 carries the trivial representation of W, so that the braiding is just the tensor flip 23. Thus the square commutes, and now we have seen that the entire diagram commutes.
+Theorem 3.4. The operator
+WC := W13U23V^ 34F24V^ 34  U (H  L  H  L)
+is a multiplicative unitary such that there is a fully faithful, strict tensor functor  : Rep(W, U, V^ , F)  Rep(WC) with For   = For. The functor  maps a representation (K, S, T) of (W, U, V^ , F) to the following representation of WC:
+S12(T 1H) = S12V^ 23T13V^ 23  U (K  H  L).
+The functor  is an isomorphism of categories if WC and W are manageable.
+The manageability of WC is expressed in [6] in terms of the braided multiplicative unitary (W, U, V^ , F).
+Proof. We have found a natural right absorber (, A) in Proposition 3.3. Proposition 2.11 shows that A is a multiplicative unitary and that x  Ax is a fully faithful, strict tensor functor Rep(W, U, V^ , F)  Rep(A). By definition, Ax = S12(T 1H) = S12(L H)23T12(H L)23 and, in particular,
+A = (W U)123(1H F 1H) = W13U23(L H)34F23(H L)34.

+
+The braiding unitary L H  U (L  H, H  L) is equal to Z for the unique unitary Z  U(H  L) that satisfies
+
+Z13 = V^ 23W12V^ 23W12
+
+in U(H  H  L),
+
+compare (3.4) and [5, (6.10)]. We have V^ 23W12V^ 23 = W12V^ 13 because V^ is a left representation of W. Hence Z13 = V^ 13. Since 34F2334 = F24, we get the asserted formulas for Ax and A. We still have to prove that every representation of WC comes from one of (W, U, V^ , F). This will take a while and require some further
+
+results. This proof will be completed at the end of this article.
+
+Proposition 3.5. The operators W13U23  U (H  L  H) and W12  U (H  H  L) are bicharacters from the multiplicative unitary WC to W  U(H  H) and back, whose composite from WC to itself is equal to P := W13U23  U (H  L  H  L). Equivalently, the following pentagon-like equations hold:
+
+(3.9) P23WC12 = WC12P13P23,
+
+WC23P12 = P12P13WC23,
+
+P23P12 = P12P13P23.
+
+Proof. There are two obvious strict tensor functors between the Hilbert space tensor categories Rep(W, U, V^ , F) and Rep(W), namely, the forgetful functor
+Rep(W, U, V^ , F)  Rep(W), (K, S, T)  (K, S),
+
+and the functor Rep(W)  Rep(W, U, V^ , F),
+
+(K, S)  (K, S, 1K).
+
+The definitions imply immediately that these are strict tensor functors that are
+compatible with the forgetful functors to Hilb. Both tensor categories involved have natural right absorbers, and the associated multiplicative unitaries are WC and W, respectively. Proposition 2.15 produces bicharacters from strict tensor functors like the ones above. Furthermore, the composite functor on Rep(W) is the identity. Correspondingly, the composite bicharacter from W to itself is the bicharacter that describes the identity functor, which is W itself. And the composite bicharacter from WC to itself is idempotent, which means that it satisfies the pentagon equation. It remains to compute the bicharacters that we get from the
+formulas in Proposition 2.15. The bicharacter describing the functor Rep(W, U, V^ , F)  Rep(W) is the canoni-
+cal unitary intertwiner
+
+W U = W13U23 : (H  L, W U)  (H, W)  (H  L, 1)  (H, W),
+that is, we get W13U23  U (H  L  H). The bicharacter describing the functor Rep(W)  Rep(W, U, V^ , F) is the natural
+isomorphism
+
+(H, W, 1)  (H  L, W  U, 1 F)  (H, 1, 1)  (H  L, W  U, 1 F)
+
+described during the proof of Proposition 3.3. Since the representation of F is 1
+here, this simplifies to the unitary W12  U (H  H  L). By the definition of the composition of bicharacters in [3, Definition 3.5], the
+composite bicharacter from WC to itself is W13U23 if and only if the following equation holds in U(H  L  H  H  L):
+
+W34(W13U23) = (W13U23)(W14U24)W34 Indeed, the representation property of U and the pentagon equation for W give
+
+W13U23W14U24W34 = W13W14U23U24W34 = W13W14W34U23 = W34W13U23
+as desired. The general theory says that the unitaries in (3.9) are bicharacters and that the bicharacter P is idempotent, that is, satisfies the pentagon equation.

+
+It remains to prove that every representation of WC comes from a representation of the braided multiplicative unitary if WC is manageable. That is, we want it to be of the form S12V^ 23T13V^ 23 for some representation (K, S, T) of (W, U, V^ , F). So we start with a representation (K, A) of WC. The Hilbert space must remain K. We have described the functor
+Rep(W, U, V^ , F)  Rep(W), (K, S, T)  (K, S),
+through the bicharacter W13U23 from WC to W in Proposition 3.5. The proof of Proposition 2.15 shows that there is a unique unitary S  U(K  H) with
+
+(3.10)
+
+(W24U34)A123 = A123S14(W24U34)  U (K  H  L  H)
+
+because the multiplicative unitary W is manageable: this is the functor on representation categories induced by the bicharacter W13U23. Now T should satisfy A123 = S12V^ 23T13V^ 23, that is,
+
+T13 = V^ 23S12A123V^ 23
+
+in U(K  H  L).
+
+It remains to prove, first, that the right hand side has trivial second leg, so that it
+
+comes from a unitary T  U(KL); and, secondly, that (K, S, T) is a representation of (W, U, V^ , F). Since these computations are quite unpleasant, we proceed indirectly.
+During this proof, we say that a representation of WC comes from a braided representation if it belongs to the image of the functor Rep(W, U, V^ , F)  Rep(WC).
+
+Lemma 3.6. Let (K1, A1) and (K2, A2) be representations of WC . If (K1, A1) and (K1  K2, A1 A2) come from braided representations, then so does (K2, A2).
+
+Proof. We define Si and Ti for i = 1, 2 as above. We know that (K1, S1, T1) is a braided representation. But at first, we only know T2  U (K2  L  H). We may, nevertheless, recycle the diagram in Figure 1, treating it as a diagram in Rep(W) only, and replacing the top left arrow T223 by T2234. The two pentagons still commute by definition of Si, Ti. The four triangles of braiding operators in Figure 1 commute as before. So do the parallelograms containing S223 and braiding operators, and the two squares in the middle: this only needs (S1, T1) to be a braided representation, which we have assumed. Hence the entire diagram commutes. The composite arrow from the (2, 1)-entry to the (5, 4)-entry is the tensor product representation A1 A2. We have assumed that this comes from a braided representation. This must be of the form (S1 S2, T) for some T  U (K1  K2  L). Hence
+(K2 L)23T112(L K2)23T2234 = T123.
+Therefore, T2234 acts trivially on the fourth leg. So A2 = S212V^ 23T213V^ 23 for some T2  U (K2  L). In the proof of Lemma 3.2, we have shown that a unitary T in U(K  L) together with a representation (K, S) of W is a braided representation if and only if T is an intertwiner from T F to 1K F. Therefore, T1 T2 = (L K2)23T112(K2 L)23T223 and T1 are intertwiners of braided representations. So are the braiding operators, compare (3.8). Hence T223  U (K1  K2  L) is an intertwiner of braided representations. Then so is T2 itself. This means that (S2, T2) is a braided representation.
+
+Since WC is manageable, Proposition 2.17 shows that Rep(WC ) contains a (natural) left absorber A1. Even more, the proof shows that we may choose A1 to be isomorphic to a direct sum of copies of WC . By definition, WC comes
+from the braided representation (H  L, W U, 1H F). Hence the direct sum of countably many summands of WC also comes from a braided representation. Since A1 A2 = A1 1K2 = A1 for any representation (K2, A2), A1 A2 also comes from a braided representation. Now Lemma 3.6 shows that any representation (K2, A2) of WC comes from a braided representation. This finishes the proof of Theorem 3.4.

+Abstract--Linear consensus iterations guarantee asymptotic convergence, thereby, limiting their applicability in applications where consensus value needs to be used in real time to perform a system level task. It also leads to wastage of power and communication resources. In this article, an algorithm is proposed which enables each node to detect in a distributed manner and in finite number of iterations, when every agent in the network is within a user specified threshold of the consensus value (approximate consensus) and hence terminate further communications and computations associated with consensus iterations. This article develops a distributed algorithm for achieving this approximate consensus in presence of random time-varying bounded communication delays. Moreover, the article instantiates the algorithm developed to distributively determine the average of the initial values held by agents in finite number of iterations. Specifically, this algorithm relies on distributively determining the maximum and minimum of values held by the agents. The approach presented here offers several advantages, including reduced computational complexity, and hence, is suited for hardware implementation. An experimental test bed of Raspberry-Pi agents that communicate wirelessly over neighborhoods is employed as a platform to demonstrate the effectiveness of the developed algorithm.

+1. INTRODUCTION In recent times networks have gained widespread adoption for representing and analyzing large scale systems. Applications of the networks framework span multiple disciplines that include economics, neuroscience and social sciences [1] and emerging science and technology, including, "internet of things" [2]. Multi agent systems whose dynamics are governed by a network topology, often collaborate with each other in order to achieve system level objectives. Increasingly in applications, the size of the system imposes severe restrictions on resources that include computational capacity as well as communication bandwidth [3]. Due to these limitations coordination of multiple agents in large scale networked system calls for distributed algorithms. A problem that has received considerable attention in coordination of multi-agent systems addresses the consensus problem, where how agents can compute a common value determined by initial values held by agents in a distributed manner is devised and analyzed [3], [4]. Here, all agents

+
+in the network strive to attain a common value of interest by sharing information with their neighbors in the network, which defines the communication layer. Consensus has found applications in parallel computers [5], distributed coordination of mobile autonomous agents [6], distributed data fusion in sensor networks [7], large scale power networks [8] and many more. A special case of consensus is that of average consensus where agents converge to the average of the initial conditions held by agents through local communication [4], [9]. There is considerable research toward algorithms for distributively reaching consensus with contributions from communications, control and computer science areas [10].
+The convergence to the consensus value, in presence or absence of delays, when linear strategies are used is typically achieved asymptotically [11], [12], [13], [14], [15]. Here, agents keep updating their states and communicating with their neighbors forever leading to wastage of power and computational resources, which is untenable in resource constrained applications such as sensor networks where the resources available for each agent is limited. Moreover, in many real time applications including the power grid, distributed finitetime termination of consensus iterations is essential as the consensus value when determined is used in real-time by local systems to perform important tasks [16]. In such situations, it is necessary for each node to detect in finite-time, if approximate consensus is achieved within a specified error margin and thus, terminate computation as well as communication.
+Distributed termination of the average consensus in finite time in the presence of time-varying but bounded delays is presented in [17]. [17] relies on computing and storing Hankel matrices at every iteration, which can be computationally expensive if the size of matrix is large; here the size depends on the network size as well as the number of iterations needed for convergence. We introduce a computationally efficient approach for finite time termination of consensus and average consensus both. We use maximum and minimum consensus to distributively determine the proximity (within a prespecified tolerance) of each node to the consensus/ average consensus value. Numerous applications of maximum and minimum consensus in other areas are reported in literature. [18] uses maximum consensus for synchronization of wireless sensor networks. Zhang and Li demonstrated the application of minimum consensus for tackling shortest path planning problem in graphs [19]. However, we explore a niche application of using the maximum and minimum consensus in an innovative manner to arrive at a distributed finite time termination criterion of consensus/ average consensus in the presence of fixed as well as time-varying link delays.

+Contributions: This article develops and analyzes an algorithm, where agents exchange information with other agents in their neighborhoods in the presence of unknown, time-varying but uniformly bounded communications delays, to achieve approximate consensus/average consensus (i.e, a termination criterion which can be used by agents to terminate computations distributively while realizing the consensus/ average consensus value is within the prespecified error tolerance). The algorithm depends on iteratively computing the maximum and minimum of the values held by agents with a small computational footprint. It is worth noting that the presentation in the manuscript is focused on the case of fixed communication delays to keep the discussion simple and the extension for the case of time varying communication delays is presented in the Appendix. Furthermore, the algorithm developed is instantiated to the average consensus problem as well and explicit bounds on the error from the average value due to finite-time termination of the average consensus protocol are determined. To the best of the knowledge of authors, the distributed finitetime termination algorithms developed here are simpler and computationally less expensive than other existing algorithms till date. The performance of the algorithms is illustrated using prototype networks of Raspberry Pis, where agents experience uncertainty in the communication channels. The algorithms proposed in this article for distributed finite time termination of consensus/ average consensus are generalizations and nontrivial extensions of the delay free framework presented in [20], which is the conference proceedings article by the authors. Notably, the algorithm presented in [20] fails when delays are present on communication channels and hence, the necessity arises for implementing the algorithm presented in this article.
+The rest of the paper is organized as follows. In Section 2, the dynamics of the consensus algorithm executed by each agent is presented along with the needed notations, definitions and assumptions. In Section 3, the distributed finite-time stopping criterion for consensus algorithm based on maximum and minimum consensus protocols is developed. The average consensus protocol in presence of delays is presented in Section 4, followed by the development of distributed finitetime stopping criterion for average consensus protocol. The performance of the proposed distributed finite-time algorithms illustrated through simulations as well as with experiments on real communication networks realized through Raspberry Pi devices is presented in Section 5. Finally, the conclusions are presented in Section 6.
+2. THE CONSENSUS PROTOCOL: BACKGROUND, DEFINITION AND ASSUMPTIONS
+In this section definitions and notations needed for subsequent development (for details refer [21] and [22]) are provided. Consider the following definitions:
+- Directed and Undirected Graph : A directed graph G is a pair {V, E} where V is a set of vertices or nodes and E is a set of edges, which are ordered subsets of two distinct elements of V . If an edge from j  V to i  V exists then it is denoted as (i, j)  E. An undirected graph G
+
+is a pair {V, E} where V is a set of vertices or nodes and E is a set of edges such that for every pair of distinct nodes i  V and j  V , if (i, j)  E then (j, i)  E. - Directed Path : In a directed graph, a directed path from node j to i exists if there is a sequence of distinct directed edges of G of the form (i, k1), (k1, k2), ..., (km, j). - Strongly Connected Graph : A directed graph is strongly connected if it has a directed path between each pair of
+
+distinct nodes i and j. - In-neighbor of node: Given a graph G = {V, E} (directed
+or undirected), a node j  V is said to be an in-neighbor of node i  V if (i, j)  E. The set of in-neighbors of node i  V is denoted by Ni- := {j : (i, j)  E}. - Diameter of Graph : The longest shortest distance between any pair of nodes in a graph is the diameter of the graph
+
+and is denoted by D. - Stochastic Matrices: A real n � n matrix A = [aij] is
+called a row stochastic matrix if 1  aij  0 for 1 
+n
+
+i, j  n and aij = 1 for 1  i  n. A real n � n

+- Non-negative Matrix and Primitive Matrix: A nonnegative matrix is a matrix all of whose entries are greater
+
+than or equal to zero. A primitive matrix is a square
+
+nonnegative matrix if it is irreducible and has only one
+

+Consider a directed graph G = {V, E}. For every (i, j)  E, a weight pij > 0 is associated which represents the weight, node i gives to any information received from node j. P = [pij] represents the weight matrix associated with graph G. If (i, j) / E then pij = 0. In this article, the problem of consensus and average consensus on a network
+
+of agents in presence of delays on communication links is
+
+studied. The following section assumes that delays on the
+
+links are fixed and the extension of the results for the time
+
+varying but bounded communication delay case can be found
+
+in Appendix B. The consensus problem under consideration
+
+here admits the following assumptions.
+
+A1. Graph G is strongly connected. A2. Weight matrix P associated with the graph G is row
+stochastic.
+
+A3. Each edge in G has a fixed delay, that is, for any two nodes i,j  V such that (i, j)  E, the delay on the link (i, j) is ij(k) = ij for all time instants k.
+A4. (i, i)  E and ii = 0 for all i  V. A5. The delay in the network is bounded and finite, that is,
+
+ij  �, �  R, for all i, j  V . The nodes do not have the knowledge of the delay as-
+
+sociated with the edges in their in-neighborhood. Now, the
+
+consensus update rule for a directed network of agents in-
+
+teracting according to a fixed communication topology in the
+
+presence of fixed communication delays on the communication

+
+channels is presented. Under the assumptions A1-A5, agent i updates its state xi(k + 1) at (k + 1)th iteration by taking a weighted linear combination of its own value and possibly delayed values of its in-neighbors received at kth iteration. The update rule is described by:
+
+xi(k + 1) = piixi(k) +
+
+pij xj (k - ij ),
+
+(1)
+
+jNi-
+
+where, Ni- is determined by the graph G = {V, E}. Let x(k) denote the column vector of all nodal states. Based on the update rule (1), consensus is defined as follows.
+
+Definition 1. (Consensus): A system of n agents is said to have achieved consensus if for any set of initial conditions x(0)  Rn, there exists   R such that klimxi(k) =  for i = 1, 2, ..., n.
+
+Note that  does not depend on the node index i. It should be noted from (1) that at any update iteration k, from each of its in-neighbors node i will receive one packet of information; albeit lagged information from a neighbor if there is a delay in the communication channel.
+
+Theorem 2.1. [12], [13] Update rule given by (1) under the assumptions mentioned in Section 2 achieves consensus.
+
+3. MAX-MIN CONSENSUS ALGORITHMS In this section, first results based on the consensus update algorithm given by (1) are established and then Maximum and Minimum consensus algorithms are defined and their convergence is established. Subsequently a discussion on determining a distributed finite-time stopping criterion to detect if consensus is reached is provided. Let for node i, the maximum over all values held by its neighbors including itself currently and in the � past instants be given by,
+
+{qi, qi } := arg max xj(k - r),
+
+(2)
+
+j Ni- {i}
+
+r={0,1,2,...,�}
+
+for some qi  {0, 1, 2, ..., �}, qi  Ni-  {i}. Thus, xqi (k - qi ) is the maximum value in the neighborhood of node i in the horizon of � into the past starting from iteration k. Similarly, let for node i, the minimum over all values held by its neighbors including itself, currently and in the � past instants be given by,
+
+{si, si } := arg min xj(k - r),
+
+(3)
+
+j Ni- {i}
+
+r={0,1,2,...,�}
+
+for some si  {0, 1, 2, ..., �}, si  Ni-  {i}. Thus, xsi (k - si ) is the minimum value in the neighborhood of node i in the horizon of � into the past starting from iteration k. Furthermore, consider the maximum and minimum over all nodal values over the horizon {k - �, ..., k - 1, k} in the past as given by,
+
+M (k)
+
+:=
+
+max
+jV
+

+
+Proof. See Appendix A for proof.
+
+Lemma 3.1 establishes that the value held by an agent in the future is always bounded above by the maximum over the current and delayed values over a horizon � of all the nodal states. Moreover, the value held by the agent is bounded below by the minimum over the current and delayed values over a horizon � of all nodal states.
+Lemma 3.2. Consider a strongly connected graph G = {V, E} running consensus protocol given by (1) with an initial condition x(k). Let i be a node such that xi(k) < M (k) and let j be a node such that xj(k) > m(k), then for all time instants k  k, xi(k ) < M (k) and xj(k ) > m(k).
+Proof. See Appendix A for proof.
+
+Lemma 3.2 establishes that if the value held by an agent
+
+i at the present instant of time is strictly less (greater) than
+
+the maximum (minimum) over the current and delayed values
+
+over a horizon � of all the nodal states, then the value of agent
+
+i continues to be strictly less (greater) than this maximum
+
+(minimum) for all future instants.

+
+which is defined as, max

+Lemma 3.3. Consider a strongly connected graph G =

+by (1) with an initial condition x(k) such that min x(k) <
+
+max x(k). Then for all k  k +D(�+1), max x(k ) < M (k)
+
+and min x(k ) > m(k).
+
+Proof. See Appendix A for proof.
+
+Lemma 3.3 establishes that if the maximum value over all nodal states at the present instant is strictly greater than the minimum value over all nodal states at the present instant, then the maximum (minimum) over all nodal states after D(1 + �) instants in the future will be strictly less (greater) than the present maximum (minimum) over the current and delayed values over a horizon � of all the nodal states.
+Define by T  := D(1 + �) + �. Note that T  is a constant for a fixed interconnection topology.

+
+Theorem 3.1 implies that M (lT ) is a strictly decreasing sequence and m(lT ) is a strictly increasing sequence as a function of the index l.
+Corollary 3.1. Consider a strongly connected graph G = {V, E} running consensus protocol given by (1) with an initial condition x(lT ) such that min x(lT ) < max x(lT ), where, l  0. Then, (a) max x((l + 1)T ) < M (lT ) and min x((l + 1)T ) > m(lT ). Also, (b) max x((l + 1)T ) - min x((l + 1)T ) < M (lT ) - m(lT ).
+
+Proof. The proof of (a) follows directly from Theorem 3.1. The proof of (b) is a direct consequence of (a).
+
+Corollary 3.2. Consider the consensus protocol given by (1)

+
+converge to  as l  . Further, the sequence {M (lT ) -

+m(lT )}lN  0 as l  .
+
+Proof. From the hypothesis it follows that, there exist  such that,
+
+klimxi(k) = , for all i = 1, 2, ...n. Further, M (lT ) and m(lT ) are subsequences of convergent sequence x(k) and hence converge to the same limit . Thus both M (lT ) and m(lT ) converge to  as l  . This implies,
+
+M (lT ) - m(lT )  0 as l  .
+
+Corollary 3.1 (b) and Corollary 3.2 together imply that max x((l + 1)T ) - min x((l + 1)T )  0 as l  . In what follows an algorithm is devised which converges to max x((l + 1)T ) and min x((l + 1)T ) in finite number of iterations with the finite-time stopping criteria based on the difference between max x((l+1)T ) and min x((l+1)T ) and evaluating whether the difference is less than the user specified error tolerance. Towards this end, the maximum/ minimum consensus protocol are developed in the following subsection and the finite-time convergence of maximum/ minimum consensus protocols in presence of fixed communication delays is
+
+A. Maximum and Minimum Consensus Protocols The Maximum Consensus Protocol denoted by MXP com-
+putes the maximum of the given initial node conditions z(0) = [z1(0) z2(0)....zn(0)]T in a distributed manner. It takes z(0) as an input and generates a sequence of node values based on the following update rule for node m for k  0,
+zm(k� + l) = zm(k� + l - 1), l  {k + 1, � � � , k + �}, (9)
+
+zm((k + 1)T~) = jNmm -ax{m}{zm((k + 1)T~ - (r + 1))I(k+1)T~-r,mj (r)}r=0,1,...,�.
+(10) where, the indicator function is defined as in (9).
+The Minimum Consensus Protocol denoted by MNP computes the minimum of the given initial node conditions y(0) = [y1(0) y2(0)....yn(0)]T in a distributed manner. It takes y(0) as an input and generates a sequence of node values y(k) based on the following update rule for k  0:
+ym(k� + l) = ym(k� + l - 1), l  {k + 1, � � � , k + �}, (11)
+
+ym((k + 1)T~) = jNmm -in{m}{ym((k + 1)T~ - (r + 1))I(k+1)T~-r,mj (r)}r=0,1,...,�.
+(12)
+
+where, the indicator function is defined as in (9).
+
+Note that (9) maintains value of zm at zm((k - 1)�) till the kth epoch k�+l, l  {1, 2, ..., �} ends. On the other hand (10) updates zm at time instances which are multiples of T~= � + 1 based on recent information from the neighbors and itself.
+
+Effectively every zm update takes place once after every � iterations. Similarly, every ym update takes place once after every � iterations. MNP is similar to MXP since the minimum over a set of values is the negative of the maximum of the
+
+negative of the values. Next, results are established which will
+
+be useful to prove the convergence of MXP and MNP running
+
+through the update rules (9), (10), (11) and (12) in finite-time.

+
+Proof. (a) The proof is left to the reader. (b) The proof follows from the fact that if the maximum value at the current iteration is held at node j, then node j continues to hold the maximum value in future iterations as well, as the update step of the MXP (10) includes the past value of node j.

It follows from the update rule (9) and (10) that within � iterations, 2 will have received the value z1 (0) and thus, z2 (� + 1) = z1 (0); and for any k  � + 1, z2 (k) = z1 (0). Using the above steps for 3, 4, ..., d, i, it follows that,

+In this section, an algorithm based on Maximum-Minimum Consensus for stopping the consensus protocol distributively in finite-time is proposed using the results derived in the previous sub-sections. At time instants T (j) = jT , for j = 1, 2, ... MXP and MNP protocols are reset with initial conditions x(jT ), thus z(T (j)) = x(T (j)) and y(T (j)) = x(T (j)).

+Theorem 3.2. Algorithm 1 converges in some finite-time Tc < , that is, Algorithm 1 reaches line number 20. Mathematically, given any  > 0, there exists Tc  N such that (j) < .
+Proof. It follows from Lemma 3.6 that (j)  0 as j  . Thus, for any given  > 0, there exists an integer j0 such that (j) <  for all j  j0. This implies that the Algorithm 1 converges in finite-time Tc = T (j0).
+Remark 1. If � = 0, Algorithm 1 and the results presented above reduce to those presented in [20].
+Remark 2. All the results presented till this point for consensus and max-min consensus hold true even for uniformly bounded time varying delays under the assumption that only one packet of information from each neighbor can be processed at any time instant in the update rule (1). The asymptotic convergence of consensus under random delay model with at most one packet of information being processed at any time instant by any node is established in [12], [13] and [23]. The contribution here is that Algorithm 1 is valid even for these communication models for finite-time termination of consensus. The results and proofs for this communication model can be found in Appendix B.
+
+4. AVERAGE CONSENSUS PROTOCOL
+
+Average consensus problem is a special case of consensus where all the nodes converge to the average of the initial conditions. and is defined as follows.
+
+Definition 2. (Average Consensus) A system of n agents is
+
+said to have achieved average consensus if for any initial
+
+condition x(0) 1, 2, ..., n.

+
+In [24], it is shown that average consensus can be reached by using the ratio of two consensus updates as described below. First the assumptions and algorithm developed in [24] are discussed. Consider a directed graph with n nodes which satisfies the following assumptions. B1. Weight matrix P associated with the directed graph is
+primitive and column stochastic. B2. The directed graph is strongly connected. B3. Any node i in the directed graph has access to its own
+value at any instant k without any delay. B4. The delay on the directed edge connecting any two nodes
+i and j in the directed graph is bounded by some constant �, i.e., ij  � < .
+Theorem 4.1. ([24]) Suppose the assumptions B1-B4 are satisfied. Let xi(k) and wi(k) be the result of iterations
+
+�
+
+xi(k+1) = piixi(k)+
+
+pijxj(k-r)Iij(r), and (13)
+
+jNi - r=0
+
+Let the initial conditions be given by x(0) =
+
+[x1(0) x2(0)...xn(0)]T and w(0) = 1n where 1n is a
+
+n � 1 column vector of all ones. Then the ratio of
+
+wi(k) for all
+
+asymptotically converges to j = 1, ..., n where �j(k) :=
+
+klim�j (k) = xj (k)/wj (k).

+
+In order to satisfy the column stochastic assumption of
+
+Theorem 4.1 and to extend Algorithm 1 (which requires row
+
+stochasticity) for average consensus, doubly stochastic weight
+
+matrices are chosen. A square matrix is irreducible if and only
+
+if its associated graph is strongly connected [25]. Using Perron
+
+Frobenius Theorem, it follows that doubly stochastic weight
+
+matrix P is primitive [22]. Using Theorem 4.1 it can be shown
+
+that running two consensus protocols given by (13) and (14),
+
+the average consensus can be asymptotically achieved with
+
+the initial conditions as x(0) = [x1(0) x2(0)...xn(0)]T and
+
+w(0) = 1n where 1n is a n � 1 column vector of all ones.
+

+A. Distributed finite-time Algorithm for terminating Average Consensus Protocol
+
+An MXP and an MNP associated with (13) are executed.
+
+Another MXP and MNP associated with (14) are also ex-
+
+ecuted. By Theorem 3.1, both (13) and (14) converge. Let

+
+given by (13) can be stopped in some finite-time Tc1 when | xi(Tc1) -  |< . Also, using Theorem 3.2, the consensus protocol given by (14) can be stopped in some finite-time Tc2 when | wi(Tc2) -  |< . Using Theorem 4.1 given > 0, (the bound within which the deviation of states from average
+
+of initial conditions is permitted),  can be chosen such that
+
+stopping the consensus protocols given by (13) and (14) in
+
+finite-time depending on chosen , will ensure that average
+
+consensus can be achieved within a positive constant of the
+
+average of initial conditions c in finite-time. The deviation
+
+from average of initial conditions by stopping the consensus
+
+protocols (13) and (14) in finite-time is now quantified in the
+
+following discussion.
+
+It is shown in [24] that

+5. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION A. Simulation Results
+Here results of Algorithm 2 for finite-time termination of average consensus on the ring network shown in Figure 1(a) and a representative 5 node network shown in Figure 1(b) in presence of fixed communication delays is presented. The
+
+communication weight matrix for the ring network is chosen
+
+to be,

+
+and, for the 5 node network the weight matrix is chosen to be

+
+P = 111///555

+
+For the ring network in Figure 1(a), the delay on the edges are

+
+
+
+0100
+
+ = 00

+
+01 .
+
+2000
+
+The initial conditions are set as x(0) = [50 70 150 30]T . The
+
+error tolerance for deviation from average of initial conditions
+
+is set to = 0.1. The stopping bound is set to  = 0.01
+
+for both the consensus algorithms given by (13) and (14).
+
+For the network in Figure 1(a), the consensus algorithm given
+
+by (13) converges to the value 42.85 in 166 iterations and the consensus algorithm given by (14) converges to the value
+
+0.57 in 166 iterations. Accordingly the ratio of (13) and (14)
+
+converges to 74.99 in 166 iterations as shown in Figure 2. The average of the initial conditions is 75 and thus, the
+
+deviation from the average achieved by implementing finite-
+
+time termination algorithm on ratio consensus is well within
+
+the bounds given by (16), (17) and (18).
+
+For the network in Figure 1(b) the delay on the edges are

+
+The initial conditions for this network are set as x(0) = [1000 0 200 100 700]T and the error tolerance for deviation from average of initial conditions is again set to be = 0.1. The consensus algorithm given by (13) converges to the value 270.3 in 40 iterations. For this network, the consensus algorithm given by (14) converges to the value 0.6757 in 40 iterations. Accordingly the ratio of (13) and (14) converges to 399.9974 in 40 iterations as shown in Figure 3. The average of the initial conditions is 400 and thus, the deviation from the average achieved by implementing finite-time termination algorithm on ratio consensus is well within the bounds given by (16), (17) and (18).
+Table I presents the results for comparison of Algorithm 2 with the distributed finite-time algorithm proposed in [17]. The computational complexity is listed in terms of the total number of nodes in the network and it can be seen that the

+of consensus iterations in the presence of random (time varying) but bounded communication delays on the network shown in Figure 1(b). It is assumed that at each link at each time instant, the delay is a non-negative integer upper bounded by � = 3. All the delays are sampled from a uniform distribution on {0,1,2,3} for the simulation. The initial conditions are set as x(0) = [1000 0 200 100 700]T . Each node determines that the consensus has reached within an error margin of  = 0.01 in 48 iterations. All the nodes converge to a common value of 261.1 (see Figure 4). It is worth noting that the final value at which the consensus protocol converges in presence of time-varying delays depends on the specific realization of the communication delays.
+
+B. Experimental Demonstration In this section, the functionality and efficacy of the proposed
+algorithm on a physical network is established. First, the experimental setup is described and then the results and observations are discussed.
+Rapsberry Pi devices [26] are used to setup the physical network for experimentation. Each of such devices is a Raspberry Pi 3 model b with configuration of 1.2 GHz CPU, 1 GB RAM and 802.11n Wireless LAN support [27]. Each of the agent nodes in the network is an individual Raspberry Pi device capable of communicating with other agents over Internet via a Wi-Fi network. In a practical setting, all nodes communicate with latency in the communication channel. The distribution of pair-wise communication latency for each node in the experimental realization of the network given in Figure 1(b) is shown in Figure 5. For instance, the box plot labelled as `Agent 1' depicts the latency experienced by Raspberry Pi 1 for several communication requests sent to every other Raspberry Pi in the network i.e. Agents 2, 3, 4 and 5. It can be seen that the network latency ranges from 10ms to 100ms. Data communications happen via HTTP protocol [28], which is designed over TCP/IP [29] and ensures guaranteed, in-order delivery of data packets between the nodes. A NodeJS [30]

+Figure 5: Distribution of pair-wise latency (in milliseconds) for each node in the network shown in Figure 1(b). based application capable of bi-directional communication for running the consensus algorithm on each Raspberry Pi is developed. NodeJS has an event-driven architecture capable of asynchronous I/O which greatly enhances throughput and scalability in real-time web applications making it an ideal choice for applications targeted by the framework of the article. The application accepts a configuration setup to initialize the consensus algorithm and communicate with other nodes for information exchange, a necessary requirement for a Raspberry Pi to act as an agent. All the agents are initialized by passing the configuration information before starting the consensus protocol, and the agent node will then transmit or receive data from the neighbouring nodes in real-time. The agent node also logs data periodically for analysis.
+To illustrate the validity and performance of Algorithm 2, this algorithm is compared with the delay-free termination algorithm presented in [20] . Both the algorithms are tested in presence of constraints and variabilities that a physical network inherits. Figure 6 and Table II illustrate the performance of the delay-free termination algorithm for the 5 node network shown in Figure 1(b) and it can be seen that this algorithm does not terminate near the average of the nodal initial conditions. Next, the distributed finite-time termination of average consensus algorithm in presence of fixed delays is tested on the directed ring network having four agents as depicted in Figure 7(a) and the observed results are presented in Table III. The outcome of the same algorithm when applied to the network of 5 agents shown in Figure 1 (b) are presented in Figure 7(b) and Table IV. The delays and initial conditions for both the cases were set up in the same way as they were for simulations and the error margin i.e.  is also chosen to be 0.01. From Tables III and IV and Figure 7 (a) and 7 (b), it is clear that the finite time termination algorithm terminates when the nodes reach close to the average of the initial conditions, thereby exhibiting behaviour similar to the simulation results, and, hence, validating our approach. It can further be observed that the error margin chosen is quite aggressive and if it was relaxed to 1% of the average value, the algorithm will converge substantially early.

A novel Max-Min Consensus based finitetime stopping criterion is introduced to distributively terminate the computation of consensus by the agents when each of them has reached within a pre-specified error bound. Further this algorithm is integrated with ratio consensus algorithm to prove the finite-time convergence to the average of initial conditions. The deviation achieved from the average of initial conditions by using the proposed distributed finite-time stopping criterion is also quantified. Furthermore, proper choice

+Define {qm, qm } := arg max xqj (k - qj ) for some qm in

+M (k). Using (21), it follows that,
+
+of the tolerance bound for stopping consensus algorithm can facilitate the convergence of average consensus arbitrarily close to the actual average of initial conditions. Furthermore, the practicality and real-time implementation of the proposed algorithm has been verified by testing it on a network of agents (Raspberry Pi devices) communicating over actual communication channels. The simulation and experimental results are in close agreement, thus, establishing the proposed method as a valid and practically attractive algorithm. This article is one of the very few attempts made in the direction of finite-time stopping of consensus and average consensus algorithms. To the best of the knowledge of the authors, the proposed algorithm is the simplest in terms of algorithmic and computational complexity.

+APPENDIX B TIME-VARYING DELAY FRAMEWORK The consensus model which incorporates time-varying delays is dealt in [12] and [13]. Under this model, node i  V updates its state at instant k + 1 by:
+
+Furthermore, denote the maximum and minimum over all nodal values over the horizon in the past {k - �, ..., k - 1, k} by M (k) and m(k) respectively as in (4) and (5).

+Proof. From (26), we have
+
+xi(k + 1) = piixi(k) +
+
+pijxj(k - ij(k)).

+
+It follows that,

+
+xi(k + 1) = piixi(k) +
+
+pijxj(k - ij(k)), (26)
+
+jNi-
+
+where ij(k)  {0, 1, 2, ..., �}. The assumptions A1, A2, A4 and A5 presented in Section
+
+2 are valid for this case as well whereas assumption A3 is
+
+not valid as the link delays are time-varying but uniformly
+
+bounded by some finite integer �. It is proven in [12] and
+
+[13] that the consensus update algorithm given by (26) con-
+
+verges asymptotically. To prove the applicability of finite-time
+
+termination algorithm proposed in Section 4 (Algorithm 1) for
+
+the time-varying delay case, the results presented in Section
+
+3 are proved here considering update equation given by (26).
+
+Like the fixed delay case, let for node i, the maximum over all
+
+values held by its neighbors including itself currently and in
+
+the � past instants be denoted by xqi (k-qi ) and the minimum over all values held by its neighbors including itself currently
+
+and in the � past instants be denoted by xsi (k - si ). The
+
+definitions of qi, qi , si and Since, ij(k)  {ij},

+
+Lemma B.2. Consider a strongly connected graph G = {V, E} running consensus protocol given by (26) with an initial condition x(k). Let i be a node such that xi(k) < M (k) and let j be a node such that xj(k) > m(k), then for all time instants k  k, xi(k ) < M (k) and xj(k ) > m(k).
+
+Proof. By assumption for time instant k = k, xi(k) < M. For all time instants k > k, the proof is reached using strong induction. Note that
+
+xi(k + 1) = piixi(k) +
+
+pijxj(k - ij(k)).

+xi(k + 1) < piiM (k) +

+Consider the case when k  (k+l-ij(k+l)), then k+2-�

+
+Like in Section 3, consider the maximum and minimum

+
+Lemma B.3. Consider a strongly connected graph G =
+
+{V, E} with an update rule for the consensus protocol given
+
+by (26) with an initial condition x(k) such that min x(k) <
+
+max x(k). Then for all k  k +D(�+1), max x(k ) < M (k)
+
+and min x(k ) > m(k).
+
+Proof. Since min x(k) < max x(k), there exists a node i such
+
+that

+xi(k)
+
+<
+
+max x(k).
+
+Since
+
+max x(k)

+xqj (k -

+xi(k) < M (k).
+
+Consider any node j. By strong connectivity of G, there exists a directed path connecting nodes i and j. Assume the shortest directed path connecting i and j is given by (m1, i)(m2, m1) � � � (j, mdj-1). Using (26), it follows that

+jNm-2 {m2 }\{m1 }
+As (k + 2� + 1 - m2j(k + 2� + 1))  (k + � + 1)  k + 1, using (27), it follows that,

+xm2 (k + 2� + 2)  pm2m1 xm1 (k + 2� + 1 - m2m1 (k + 2� + 1)) +
+pm2j M (k).
+jNm-2 {m2 }\{m1 }
+Note that (k + 2� + 1 - m2m1 (k + 2� + 1))  (k + � + 1) and xm1 (k + � + 1) < M (k). Using Lemma B.2, it follows that,
+
+xm2 (k + 2� + 2) < pm2m1 M (k)

+Thus,
+
++
+
+pm2j M (k).
+
+jNm-2 {m2 }\{m1 }
+
+xm2 (k + 2� + 2) < M (k). Thus, it can be concluded using Lemma B.2, that for all k  k + 2� + 2, xm2 (k ) < M (k). It follows that for all k  k + dj� + dj, xj(k ) < M (k). Note that, k + D� + D  k + dj� + dj, and, thus, for any v  V, v = i, k  k + D� + D implies xv(k ) < M (k). It follows that, for all k  k + D(� + 1),

+Remark 3. It should be noted that the results of Lemma B.1, Lemma B.2 and Lemma B.3 are exactly the same as that of Lemma 3.1, Lemma 3.2 and Lemma 3.3 respectively and hence the results of Lemma 3.1, Lemma 3.2 and Lemma

+JOURNAL OF LATEX CLASS FILES, VOL. 14, NO. 8, AUGUST 2015

+
+3.3 hold for consensus with time-varying delays as well. Furthermore, the results of Theorem 3.1, Corollary 3.1 and Corollary 3.2 follow directly from the results of Lemma 3.3. Hence, Theorem 3.1, Corollary 3.1 and Corollary 3.2 hold true for consensus with time-varying delay framework.

+A. Max and Min Consensus in Presence of Time-Varying Delays
+Like the fixed delay case, the Maximum Consensus Protocol computes the maximum of the given initial node conditions z(0) = [z1(0) z2(0)....zn(0)]T in a distributed manner. It takes z(0) as an input and generates a sequence of node values based on the update rule for node m given by (9) and (10). Similarly, the Minimum Consensus Protocol computes the minimum of the given initial node conditions y(0) = [y1(0) y2(0)....yn(0)]T in a distributed manner. It takes y(0) as an input and generates a sequence of node values based on the update rule for node m given by (11) and (12).
+In time-varying delay framework, it is possible that any inneighbor j of node m can be sending multiple packets of zj to node m while it is waiting for � iterations, but each packet received from j during the waiting time contains the same information because node j also updates its maximum consensus state only once in � iterations in accordance with (9) and (10). Similar logic holds for Min consensus protocol.
+Remark 4. It is worth noting that the results of Lemma 3.4, Lemma 3.5, Lemma 3.6 and Lemma 3.7 depend solely on Max-Min consensus update rules given by (9), (10), (11) and (12). Since the Max-Min consensus update rules are logically the same for time-varying delay case as well, the results of Lemma 3.4, Lemma 3.5, Lemma 3.6 and Lemma 3.7 hold true for time-varying delay framework. This entails that the results of associated Lemma 3.8 and Theorem 3.2 hold true for time-varying delay framework. This implies that the finite-time termination algorithm for consensus (Algorithm 1) proposed for the fixed delay case can be implemented without any modification even if the delays are time-varying and follow the update rule given by (26).

+Although all superconducting cuprates display charge-ordering tendencies, their low-temperature properties are distinct, impeding efforts to understand the phenomena within a single conceptual framework. While some systems exhibit stripes of charge and spin, with a locked periodicity, others host charge density waves (CDWs) without any obviously related spin order. Here we use resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) to follow the evolution of charge correlations in the canonical stripe ordered cuprate La1.875Ba0.125CuO4 (LBCO 1/8) across its ordering transition. We find that hightemperature charge correlations are unlocked from the wavevector of the spin correlations, signaling analogies to CDW phases in various other cuprates. This indicates that stripe order at low temperatures is stabilized by the coupling of otherwise independent charge and spin density waves, with important implications for the relation between charge and spin correlations in the cuprates.
+Charge density waves | Stripes | Superconductivity | Cuprates
+When holes are doped into the Mott insulating parent compounds of the cuprates, multiple competing interactions conspire to form a rich phase diagram. In the underdoped regime, holes can save energy by clustering together on neighboring sites in order to minimize the number of broken magnetic bonds, but by doing so they pay an extra energy cost of the increased inter-site Coulomb repulsion and reduced kinetic energy. Several early theoretical works suggested that frustration between these different ordering tendencies generates an instability towards spin density wave (SDW) order (1�5) and low-energy incommensurate SDW correlations were indeed observed around the same time (6�8). Such considerations were key to the discovery of "stripes" in the La2-x-y(Nd/Eu)y(Sr/Ba)xCuO4 or 214 family of cuprates. These correlations were found to be strongest at a doping level of 1/8 for which static spin and charge order forms at wavevectors related by a factor of two (9, 10). This phase was often conceptualized in terms of a dominant spin degree of freedom, as the underdoped cuprates have a large magnetic energy scale and a relatively small electronic density of states at the Fermi level (1�5). Furthermore, although high-temperature spin correlations were easily seen (7, 8, 10), directly detecting high-temperature charge correlations proved beyond the sensitivity of standard x-ray and neutron scattering measurements. Most compellingly, charge and spin ordering appeared, until recently, to be absent in cuprates in which there was a low-energy spin gap such as YBa2Cu3O6+x (YBCO), Bi1.5Pb0.5Sr1.54CaCu2O8+ (BSCCO2212), and HgBa2CuO4+ (HBCO1201), so the dis-
+
+covery of CDW correlations in these systems generated great interest (11�19). While the similarity of CDW phase diagrams in these materials may indicate a unified CDW mechanism (20, 21), many of the CDW properties reported in these materials were, however, notably different than that in LBCO 1/8. The CDW incommensurability in YBCO is 0.3 rather than 1/4 at 1/8 doping (11, 12), the CDW ordering seems to compete with SDW ordering (22�24) and the CDW incommensurability decreases weakly with doping, rather than increasing (16, 20, 23, 24). On this basis, concepts such as nesting and electron-phonon coupling for CDW formation in YBCO, BSCCO, and HBCO were discussed extensively impeding efforts to understand these cuprates using similar mechanism that were discussed for 214 systems (15, 20, 25�27). Here we use new RIXS instrumentation to discover CDW correlations in the high-temperature phase of the canonical stripe-ordered cuprate LBCO 1/8 (10, 28�31). We find that these hightemperature CDW correlations exist without related SDW correlations at half their wavevector and that the correlations evolve with temperature, away from an incommensurability of 1/4. These observations show that stripe order is stabilized by locking of the charge and spin correlations that occurs at low temperatures and suggest that both phenomena should
+Significance Statement
+Charge correlations have now been identified in the lowtemperature phase of essentially all families of underdoped cuprates, but in two apparently distinct types. The first hosts locked charge and spin stripes of which the material La1.875Ba0.125CuO4 (LBCO 1/8) is a paradigmatic example. In the second type, a charge density wave (CDW) exists without any obviously related spin correlations. Here we report the discovery of high-temperature CDW correlations that exist at temperatures above the CDW transition in the canonical striped cuprate LBCO 1/8. We find that the high-temperature CDW is decoupled from the fluctuating spin density wave, lessening apparent differences in behavior among different materials and setting important constraints for how we understand their electronic states.

+Results
+In this work we use Cu L3 edge RIXS to achieve very high sensitivity to weak charge correlations. This works by choosing a photon energy that resonances with a Cu 2p  3d core level transition in order to enhance scattering from valence electrons, while using a spectrometer to reject the strong x-ray florescence that limits the sensitivity of traditional resonant soft x-ray scattering experiments. Figure 1A shows scattering geometry employed here. Figure 1B depicts the locations of the charge and spin ordering Bragg peaks for 214 type cuprates within the two-dimensional Brillouin zone labeled QCDW  (0.24, 0) and QSDW  (0.38, 0.5) in reciprocal lattice units (r.l.u.). We start by choosing  polarized incident x-rays in order to enhance our sensitivity to charge scattering (11, 32, 33). Figure 1C,D plots projections of the quasi-elastic scattering intensity around QCDW along the H and the K directions. A clear peak is observed at the base temperature corresponding to the known CDW with a wavevector of (0.235, 0) and a correlation length of 207(5) � (28, 29, 31). As established in several previous studies the low-temperature CDW peak intensity drops with increasing temperature and seems to disappear around 55 K (28, 29, 31).
+Having established the low-temperature CDW properties, we scanned large regions of reciprocal space at temperatures above the nominal transition. Figure 2A-F plots RIXS intensity maps that reveal broad momentum-dependent scattering. The quasi-elastic intensity in these maps show broad peaks around (H, K) = (0.24, 0) for temperatures of 54-59 K, while at higher temperatures it peaks at larger H while remaining centered at K = 0. Although the close match in the wavevectors between the low-temperature and high-temperature scattering already indicates an intimate connection between this scattering and the low-temperature CDW, it is important to justify the electronic origin of the broad peak. Panels 2C (inset) and 2G show the off-resonance RIXS intensity map and integrated RIXS intensity along H. Both the inelastic excitations and the quasi-elastic remnant intensity are significantly suppressed when changing the incident energy, proving that the signal is dominated by the x-ray resonant process. The flat 2.8(0.3)
+
+counts sec-1 off-resonant intensity also confirms the constant spectrometer acceptance. We also see in Fig. 2I that the peak has the same width in H and K, consistent with the behavior of the low-temperature CDW (Fig. 1C,D). It is also worth noting that x-ray self-absorption effects (see Fig. S2) and the Cu L3 RIXS cross section are known to vary monotonically in this scattering geometry (11, 32). Based on all these experimental observations, we conclude that the observed broad peak represents a direct observation of the high-temperature CDW correlations discussed extensively ever since the discovery of the low-temperature CDW (9, 34�37). Compared to the low-temperature CDW, the high-temperature CDW has far lower peak intensity (13 vs 467 counts/s) but a much broader line width (about a factor of 16). As a result, this diffuse high-temperature scattering comprises approximately 7 times larger 2D-momentum and energy integrated spectral weight than the sharp low-temperature CDW peak that emerges on top of the diffuse scattering below 54 K.
+Upon cooling through the 54 K transition, no changes are observed in the diffuse tail of intensity. Although this is opposite to what is expected in a disorder-free phase transition, in which all high-temperature correlations would be expected to condense into a sharp CDW peak, such behavior is expected in the presence of disorder (38, 39). Cuprates are known to host appreciable disorder (24, 40�42), and this is the likely cause of the observed phenomenology, particularly in view of the match between the structural and CDW correlation length in LBCO 1/8 under pressure (41).
+High-temperature CDW correlations in 214 cuprates are often argued to be dynamic (34, 35, 43) and such a view is supported by transport measurements (44). Notably, longrange ordered static LTT octahedral tilts, often thought to be coupled to the CDW at low temperatures, are found to become dynamic and correlated over a  10 � length scale above the transition similar to the high-temperature CDW correlation length detected here (45, 46). On the basis of the resolution-limited energy width we observe (see Fig. S4), we conclude that the high-temperature CDW is static on a timescale of 100 fs, but slow fluctuations are nonetheless possible and can, in principle be directly measured by other
+We chose the term "high-temperature CDW correlations" as the most generic way to refer to valence charge modulations with a different periodicity to the underlying lattice.

A peak in the quasi-elastic intensity is seen in the vicinity of QCDW alongside an increase in the inelastic intensity. The inset of panel C displays an intensity map at 90 K taken with a different off-resonant x-ray energy in order to reduce the sensitivity to the valence electrons.

+techniques (30).
+Figure 3 shows the temperature dependence of the CDW correlations as determined by fitting Lorentzian-squared functions to the diffuse CDW peak intensity present at all temperature and the sharp CDW peak that emerges at low temperatures (see Fig. S5 and Fig. S6). The correlation length of the high-temperature CDW of 13(2) � is much shorter than that in the low-temperature state (207 �) and substantially shorter than YBCO (60 �) (11), but is of the same order of magnitude as several other cuprates systems such as Bi2Sr2-xLaxCuO6+ (BSLCO2201) (12 �) (15), BSCCO2212 (<24 �) (18), La2-xSrxCuO4 (LSCO) (35 �) (17), HBCO1201 (20 �) (19), hinting that the high-temperature CDW properties may help reconcile the difference between different cuprates. Further clues are evident in the wavevecector behavior allowing to associate the high temperature state observed here to the low temperature behaviour of other compounds. As can be seen in Fig. 3B, for temperatures below 55 K the incommensurability of the CDW and SDW appear to be locked by a factor of two, which is a well-known property of 214-type cuparates (7�10, 28). Upon heating above 55 K, we see strong violation of this relation [Fig. 3B]: The CDW correlations evolve away from H  1/4 and away from twice the incommensurability of the SDW (i.e. the CDW and SDW decouple) (10).
+
+We further tested the nature of the CDW/SDW state and its charge-spin coupling by changing the RIXS geometry in order to measure the magnetic excitation spectrum in the same Q-range (see Fig. S1) (32). Inelastic neutron scattering has been applied extensively to study the magnetic excitations around QSDW, finding an `hour-glass' shaped dispersion (35, 47, 48), RIXS can study the magnetic spectrum around QCDW, a region of reciprocal space in which stripe-related effects have never been observed. Figure 4A-B shows the resulting spectral intensity above that is dominated by damped spin wave excitations called paramagnons (49�52). We fit the paramagnon dispersion (see the SI for more details) and are compared it to the dispersion expected for a standard N�el antiferromagnet (AF) in Fig. 4C, finding a softening of the excitation energy over a broad range of reciprocal space around QCDW. The significant deviation observed at low temperatures shows that stripe-formation modifies the short-range spin correlations around QCDW at low temperature, but this coupling is much reduced at higher temperatures, consistent with a weakened charge-spin coupling above the transition. There have been extensive efforts to model such stripe-related modifications in the spin excitation spectrum as this provides a means to develop detailed models for the character of the ground state (35, 48, 53�57). These theories do a good job

(10) are included on panels A and B. We see that the CDW and SDW incommensurabilities evolve in different directions above 54 K, which indicates a decoupling of the charge and spin degrees of freedom. We also note that the high-temperature CDW width and intensity show no detectable changes through the LTT-LTO transition (any possible changes would be smaller than our error bars, which are obtained from the least-squares fitting algorithm).

+of capturing the magnetic dispersion around QSDW, but none of these theories adequately capture the dispersion around QCDW. We discovered that a partially ordered CDW state with meandering charge stripes (see the inset of Fig. 4D), as constrained by the measured charge scattering, does successfully capture the observed modification in the magnetic dispersion. Figure 4D plots our calculations (see the methods section for full details). Despite the simplicity of the model, it captures what is observed in Figure 4C, confirming that we have identified the essential features of the ground state. Calculations based on a perfectly stripe-ordered crystalline CDW predict several sharp modes which are not observed (see Fig. S8).
+Discussion
+Our results have important implications for the relationship between stripe order in 214 type cuprates and CDW order in non 214 cuprates (58). We show that the high temperature state of LBCO 1/8 hosts CDW correlations at a wavevector unlocked from the SDW wavevector. This establishes an appealing analogy to non-214 systems, which also host CDW correlations without any obviously related SDW correlations. Indeed, stripe order in LBCO 1/8 appears to form via locking of the CDW and SDW at low temperatures. A remaining discrepancy, however, is that pristine non-214 systems tend to exhibit a spin gap not present in 214 systems (59�62). Substituting 2% Zn for Cu in YBa2Cu3O6.6 is known to close the spin gap and stabilize SDW order with an incommensurability of 0.1, but this remains unlocked from the CDW incommensurability of 0.3 (63). We furthermore demonstrate that the wavevector of the high-temperature CDW correlations in LBCO 1/8 is not uniquely defined by the doping level contrary to what is seen in the low temperature state (7�10, 28). Indeed the high-temperature wavevector of QCDW = 0.272(2) is closer to what is seen in 1/8 doped YBCO and BSCCO2201, which are 0.32 and 0.27, respectively than in the low temperature wavevector of 0.235 (11, 15). Temperature dependent wavevectors have been predicted in Landau-Ginzberg modeling of stripe ordering scenarios (39, 64). In these models, the CDW wavevector is determined by competition between the
+
+CDW's intrinsic ordering wavevector and coupling between the CDW and another degree of freedom, such as the SDW. The low-temperature wavevector may consequently not reflect the formation mechanism for these phases. Another unresolved discrepancy is that that low-temperature CDW incommensurability in LBCO 1/8 increases with temperature (10, 28), distinct from the weak decrease in CDW incommensurability seen in YBCO and other non-214 systems (22�24). It will be important for future studies to measure whether the hightemperature CDW correlations in La2-xBaxCuO4 increase or decrease with x. Here we show that the CDW incommensurability in LBCO 1/8 changes by 0.04 r.l.u. (from 0.235 to 0.272) with temperature i.e. on thermal energy scale of order 10 meV. We note that this is about the same magnitude as the doping induced change in YBCO (from 0.34 at 0.09 hole concentration to 0.30 at 0.16) (23, 24).
+We end by discussing different ways to reconcile the phenomenology observed here with that seen in other cuprate materials. One option is to assume that 214 and non-214 cuprates host completely different types of CDW. Alternatively, one can posit a universal CDW formation mechanism in which many states with different ordering wavevectors and different inter-plane stacking configurations can exist with only small energy differences. The widely discussed strongly correlated mechanisms are examples of this as the wavevector is determined by a balance of different competing interactions (1�5, 34, 35, 56, 65, 66), in contrast to nesting in which the wavevector is expected to correspond to parallel features in the Fermi surface (67). In this universal scenario, low-temperature ordering wavevector in 214 systems would then be defined by coupling between the CDW and the SDW condensing a relatively small fraction of the available low-energy fluctuations together into well correlated CDW order and establishing the factor of two relationship between the CDW and SDW incommensurabilities. In non-214 systems this mechanism does not occur due to the spin gap and the absence of the low-temperature tetragonal (LTT) structure, which is believed to play an important role to stabilize the CDW (9). In this case other details may be relevant for determining the lowtemperature wavevector. Several researchers have pointed

+to analogies between Fermi surface features and the CDW wavevector in this case (11, 15, 16, 19, 68). A common origin for CDWs correlations in all cuprates also naturally explains why the onset temperature peaks at around 1/8 doping in all families.
+Conclusions
+We exploited the high sensitivity of RIXS to discover charge correlations in the high temperature state of LBCO 1/8. These correlations show that La-based 214 type cuprates can host CDW correlations that are unlocked from the SDW suggesting stripes form via the locking of the charge and spin wavevectors at low temperatures. This establishes shared properties between different cuprates, constraining models for the normal states from which high-temperature superconductivity emerges.
+Materials and Methods
+A LBCO 1/8 single crystal was grown using the floating zone method and cleaved ex-situ to reveal a face with a [001] surface normal. The wavevectors used here are described using the high temperature tetragonal (I4/mmm) space group with a = b = 3.78 � and c = 13.28 �. Correlation length is defined as 1/HWHM where HWHM is the half width at half maximum of the peak in reciprocal lattice units. RIXS measurements were performed at the ID32 beamline of the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF). The resonant condition was achieved by tuning the incident x-ray energy to the maximum of the Cu L3 absorption peak around 931.5 eV. The
+
+scattering geometry is shown in Fig. 1A.  and  x-ray polarizations are defined as perpendicular and parallel to the scattering plane, respectively. H and K scans are achieved by rotating the sample around the  and  axes, without changing 2, thus changing the inplane component of the momentum transfer Q = kf - ki. By doing this, we are assuming that the scattering is independent of L, which is reasonable as the inter-layer coupling in the cuprates is known to be weak (28, 29, 51). Positive (negative) H corresponding to larger (smaller)  values. The horizontal and vertical momentum resolution was 0.008 �-1 and 0.001 �-1, respectively and all intensities are normalized to beam current and counting time. Two different geometries are used here to provide sensitivity to charge and spin degrees of freedom respectively (11, 32). For the charge scattering, we used -polarized incident x-rays and negative H values. The spectrometer scattering angle (2) was fixed at 118 such that L  1.5 and the total instrumental energy resolution (full-width at half maximum) was set to 90 meV to increase the counting rate. The quasi-elastic intensity was obtained by integrating the RIXS spectrum in an energy window of � 150 meV around 0 meV. To measure the spin excitation spectra, we used -polarized incident x-rays and positive H values. The scattering angle (2) was set at the maximum value of 149 to access higher H values and the total instrumental energy resolution was set to 70 meV. The elastic energy was determined by measuring the diffuse scattering from carbon tape for every spectrum obtained.
+We performed our calculations of the spin excitation spectrum in the CDW state starting with an initially ordered set of charge stripes on a 40 � 40 site lattice. We then used a Monte Carlo algorithm to disorder the stripes until the charge structure factor matches the measured CDW peak shape and computed the magnetic excitation spectrum of the disordered state using a suitably parametrized Heisenberg model (53). It is assumed that the charge stripes define domain walls across which magnetic exchange J is replaced by a ferromagnetic exchange JF . J = 165 meV was chosen to match our observed zone boundary magnon energy and JF = -0.09J was

The magnetic excitation spectrum of the system with the domain walls is computed under the spin wave theory (SWT) approximation and averaged over the expected different domain configurations. Such a treatment is sufficient to reproduce the observed magnetic peak dispersion even without including other effects such as fermionic excitations (35, 48).

+ABSTRACT
+Recently, the phenomenon of quantum-classical correspondence breakdown was uncovered in optomechanics, where in the classical regime the system exhibits chaos but in the corresponding quantum regime the motion is regular - there appears to be no signature of classical chaos whatsoever in the corresponding quantum system, generating a paradox. We find that transient chaos, besides being a physically meaningful phenomenon by itself, provides a resolution. Using the method of quantum state diffusion to simulate the system dynamics subject to continuous homodyne detection, we uncover transient chaos associated with quantum trajectories. The transient behavior is consistent with chaos in the classical limit, while the long term evolution of the quantum system is regular. Transient chaos thus serves as a bridge for the quantum-classical transition (QCT). Strikingly, as the system transitions from the quantum to the classical regime, the average chaotic transient lifetime increases dramatically (faster than the Ehrenfest time characterizing the QCT for isolated quantum systems). We develop a physical theory to explain the scaling law.
+Introduction
+The quantum-classical correspondence is a fundamental and fascinating problem in physics. For a specific physical process in a quantum system, if a large number of energy levels are involved (e.g., in the high energy regime), the evolution of the expected values of the observables will be governed by the classical Newtonian dynamics. This is the usual quantum-classical correspondence. Exceptions can occur when only a few lower energy levels are involved, e.g., at low temperatures, such that the quantum features of the ground state are manifested on a macroscopic scale,1 leading to fascinating phenomena such as Bose-Einstein condensation, superconductivity, and superfluids. In this paper, we report our discovery of transient chaos as a natural paradigm to explain the recently discovered phenomenon of the breakdown of quantum-classical correspondence in optomechanics.
+A prototypical optomechanical system consists of an optical cavity with a fixed mirror and a nanoscale, mechanically movable cantilever, as shown schematically in Fig. 1. The basic physics is that the radiation pressure from the optical field changes the position of the movable mirror, which in return modulates the resonance frequency of the optical cavity, leading to a coupling between the optical and mechanical degrees of freedom.2,3 In addition to this prototypical setting, alternative configurations for realizing the optical-mechanical coupling exist, such as those based on the whispering-gallery modes,4 microtoroid5

+and microsphere3 resonators. Optomechanics is thus not only fundamentally important, as it provides a setting to understand the physics of optical-mechanical interactions,3,6,7 but also practically significant with applications ranging from ultra-precision measurements,2, 8, 9 light-matter entanglement,10�12 mechanical memory,13 tunable optical coupler,14 classical state preparation through squeezing,15,16 optical transparency,17 and photon shuttling18 to creation of nonclassical light19,20 and cooling of microscopic or mesoscopic objects.21,22 The classical equations of motion of an optomechanical system are nonlinear, rendering possible chaotic behaviors.23, 24
+In a recent work,25 it was demonstrated that, in the classical regime where the system exhibits chaos, in the corresponding quantum regime the motion becomes regular and no signatures of chaos appear to exist. This is the so-called quantum-classical correspondence breakdown in optomechanics. A conventional approach to studying the correspondence is to compare the quantum Wigner function distribution with the classical phase space distribution,20, 26, 27 both being average quantities. However, a recent work28 demonstrated an optimal state estimation for cavity optomechanical systems through Kalman filtering, which allows us to obtain the conditional system state in the presence of experimental noise. In addition, observation of quantum trajectories obeying quantum state diffusion through heterodyne detection in a coupled system between a superconducting qubit and an off-resonant cavity was reported,29 as well as other types of quantum trajectories.30�40 Thus, rather than focusing on the average properties of the system, we study the individual quantum trajectories of the system as related to the continuous weak measurement to probe into the quantum-classical correspondence breakdown.
+Our aim is to uncover, through systematic classical and quantum simulations, the dynamical and physical mechanisms responsible for the breakdown phenomenon. The standard treatment3 of an optomechanical system consists of quantizing the cavity optical field and the oscillations of the cantilever as two mutually interacting quantum boson fields while treating the driving laser field classically. Dissipation

+
+associated with the optical and mechanical fields can be incorporated into the quantum Langevin equations from the quantum input-output theory41 or by solving the quantum Master equation with the Lindblad operators. When chaos occurs in the classical limit, the system is typically in a high energy state with hundreds of photons and phonons, rendering infeasible direct simulation of the quantum Master equation. An effective framework is the method of quantum state diffusion (QSD), which generates quantum trajectories to approximate the time evolution as governed by the quantum Master equation.42�44 The QSD method has been instrumental to homodyne detection and the study of quantum-classical correspondence in dissipative quantum chaos.45�47 Here, using the QSD method, we calculate the dynamical trajectories of the system in the quantum regime. Our computations extending to the long time scales (which were not attempted in previous works) suggest that transient chaos48 associated with quantum trajectories is ubiquitous. (To our knowledge, in spite of reports of chaos,3,23,24 there were no prior results of transient chaos in optomechanical systems.) In particular, before approaching a regular final state, the quantum system exhibits a behavior that is consistent with the classical chaotic behavior. Thus, in short and in long time scales, the time evolutions of the system in the quantum regime would appear to be chaotic and regular, respectively. This means that, in short time scales a quantum-classical correspondence does exist, but its breakdown occurs in the long time limit. A striking finding is that, as the classical regime is approached, the average transient lifetime increases dramatically (faster than the Ehrenfest time - see Discussion). As the quantum system becomes "more classical," the quantum-classical correspondence holds significantly longer, providing a natural resolution for the breakdown phenomenon.

+Hamiltonian. In the rotating frame of the driving laser field, the Hamiltonian of a generic optomechanical
+
+system is:3
+
+H = h� [-0 + g0(b + b)]aa + h� mbb + h� L(a + a),
+
+(1)
+
+where a and a are the creation and annihilation operators for the optical field, b and b are the corre-
+sponding phonon operators for the mechanical cantilever, 0 = d - cav is the detuning between the
+driving laser and the optical cavity field, and m is the resonant frequency of the mechanical mode. The
+quantity L is the classical amplitude of the driving laser field, which is related to its power P through |L|2 = 2P/(h� d), where  is the quality factor of the optical cavity. The basic physics behind the optomechanical coupling49 is that a change in the position of the cantilever, which is proportional to (b + b), can lead to a change in the resonant frequency of the optical field with a strength factor g0, where g0  (cav/l0) h� /(2mm), with l0 being the nominal cavity length.
+
+Calculation of classical trajectories. A conventional approach to investigating the dynamics of an optomechanical system is to use the quantum input-output theory41 to obtain the standard quantum Langevin equations in the Heisenberg picture. While dissipation and fluctuations of the photon and phonon fields have been taken into account, these are operator equations with stochastic fluctuations. In the classical limit (h�  0), i.e., bad cavity limit, the quantum correlations between the operators are negligible as compared with their averages, so we have12 (b + b)a  b + b a . Under this approximation, the operator equations can be replaced by those for the corresponding mean values, leading to the semiclassical Langevin equations. The deterministic dynamics of the system can be assessed by neglecting the small fluctuations in the photon and phonon fields. The resulting deterministic equations are:
+
+d a /dt =i(0 a + g0 a b + b - L) - (1/2) a d b /dt = - i(g0| a |2 + m b ) - (m/2) b ,

+where m is the dissipation rate. A property of the classical equations is that, if b and a are replaced by g0b and a/L, respectively, the resulting equations contain the parameter P  g20L2, where g0 and L no longer appear as individual parameters. If other parameters are kept constant, the dynamics of the classical
+system is solely determined by the power of the driving laser field, i.e., P, with g0 and L as scaling factors. Intuitively, this can be understood by noting that, when a quantum system approaches its classical limit, h� vanishes so that the quantum strength factors g0  h� and L  1/ h� (both containing h� ) are degenerate into a single parameter P that does not contain h� . However, in the stochastic Langevin equations, the
+strengths of the quantum fluctuations associated with the photon and phonon fields are proportional to g0 and 1/L, respectively. In the moderate and deep quantum regimes away from the classical limit, as g0 is increased, the deterministic Langevin equations are less meaningful due to the more pronounced quantum
+fluctuations. The classical equations are nonlinear, so chaos can arise, as uncovered in previous experimental23,24
+and theoretical25,50,51 works. To demonstrate the chaotic behavior, we use the same parameter setting as in the recent work of Bakemeier et al.:25 /m = 1.0, m/m = 10-3, 0/m = -0.7, and P~ = 8L2g20/m4 = 1.5. Figure 2(a) shows a representativechaotic orbit in the two-dimensional subspace of the variables q = (g0/ 2m) b + b and p = (-ig0/ 2m) b - b , where the evolution time  is made dimensionless through   mt. The corresponding chaotic time series is shown in Fig. 2(b-c).
+
+Calculation of quantum trajectories. The quantum evolution of the optomechanical system can be
+
+calculated by using the quantum Master equation, which incorporates the effects of photon and phonon
+
+dissipation through the Lindblad operators. In particular, at zero temperature the quantum Master equation is3, 52
+
+d/dt = -(i/h� )[H, ] + mD[b, ] + D[a, ]
+
+(3)
+
+where the Lindblad operator is given by
+
+D[L, ] = LL - (LL + LL)/2,

+
+and L stands for either a or b. The quantum Master equation describes the time evolution of an ensemble of identical quantum systems. The dimension of the optomechanical system is (NaNb)2, where Na and Nb denote the highest photon and phonon Fock states, respectively. An approach to reducing the dimension to
+(NaNb) is to "unravel" the deterministic quantum Master equation through the stochastic wavefunction equation for quantum trajectories.42�44,53 The deterministic property is retained through the ensemble
+average of many realizations of the system starting from the same initial condition. Among the many
+unraveling schemes for generating quantum trajectories, the QSD approach is convenient and efficient
+
+with results that can be related to the record of homodyne detection, an important measurement tool in optomechanics.28 The QSD equation is given by54, 55

+
+(5)
+
+where O = |O| is the expectation value of operator O for the specific wave function | . The QSD equation (5) is in fact a Stratonovich type of stochastic equations. (The Ito form of QSD has also been established and widely used.42�45, 56) In the QSD equation, the terms d j ( j = 1, 2) are complex Gaussian white noise for the photon and phonon fluctuations, which satisfy
+Md j = Mdid j = 0 and Mdid j = i jdt,

+quantum fluctuations. The corresponding time series q(2) is shown in Fig. 3(c). Since the value of the laser power P is fixed, the corresponding classical behavior is that shown in Fig. 2, which is chaotic. The
+
+remarkable phenomenon is that, the quantum trajectory in Fig. 3(a) is characteristically different from
+
+the classical trajectory in Fig. 2(a): the former is regular while the latter is chaotic! This is the recently discovered phenomenon of quantum-classical correspondence breakdown in optomechanical systems.25
+
+Transient chaos in the quantum regime. We find that the breakdown can be naturally viewed as a manifestation of transient chaos. We note from Fig. 3(c) that, before the periodic quantum state is reached, there is a relatively short time interval during which the quantum evolution is characteristically different, which is a transient phase. The quantum trajectory of the system in the transient phase is shown in Fig. 3(b), which appears chaotic. The striking finding is that, the transient quantum trajectory is remarkably consistent (in fact coincides) with the corresponding classical trajectory (the red background trajectory in Fig. 3(b), which overlaps with the quantum trajectory almost completely). As we tune the parameter g0/m towards the classical regime, the duration of the transient phase increases. The extreme situation is that the transient time becomes so long that the system stays in a chaotic state for any practical time. An example is shown in Fig. 3(d) for g0/m = 0.05.
+How does the average chaotic transient lifetime T depend on the quantum strength parameter g0? Here, the quantity T is the average time required for the system to transition from a chaotic attractor in the classical limit to a coexisting periodic attractor in the quantum regime, as induced by quantum

+fluctuations. For example, for a specific trajectory in Fig. 3(c), the transition occurs at 2  55, so the transition time is T = 55/2. (Note that the evolution time  is made dimensionless through   mt). From Fig. 3(c), we also see a dramatic change in the amplitude before and after the transition, and this can be exploited for efficiently computing the average transition time from a large number of quantum trajectories. In general, the time from the beginning to the end of the transition can be neglected as compared with the typically long transient time, especially when the effective Planck constant is reduced. As shown in Fig. 4, as g0 is decreased so that the quantum effect becomes progressively weaker, T increases dramatically. A qualitative explanation for Fig. 4 is the following. The classical trajectories are calculated from the deterministic, semiclassical Langevin equation in the Heisenberg picture with dissipation, where quantum fluctuations are neglected. The quantum trajectories are obtained from the QSD method, an unraveling of the general quantum Master equation in the Schro�dinger picture using the Lindblad operators. The quantum fluctuations in QSD not only play the role of noise in the classical deterministic system, but more importantly, they can induce characteristic changes in the system dynamics. Say we fix the laser power so that the classical dynamics remains chaotic. What will happen when the quantum effects (fluctuations) become increasingly pronounced? Mathematically, as g0 is increased, it is necessary to decrease L to keep the driving laser power constant. This effectively enhances the ratios /L and m/L in the QSD equation, which are the relative noise-to-driving ratios. As noise becomes more pronounced, the probability that the system can stay in the deterministic chaotic set is decreased, reducing the chaotic transient lifetime.
+To further test the proposition that noise or quantum fluctuations can drive the quantum system away from the classical chaotic invariant set, we calculate the quantum trajectories but with the noise term excluded. We find that, without random fluctuations, the quantum trajectories follow the classical chaotic set all the time. This result confirms that it is the quantum fluctuations which eventually drive the quantum trajectories out of the classical chaotic set, generating transient chaos. The weaker the quantum fluctuations, the longer the average transient lifetime will be. The quantum-classical transition is thus induced by quantum fluctuations, which resembles the phenomenon of noise-induced transition in classical
+7/21
+
+systems that can be treated using the classical Kramer rate theory.57 The transient chaos associated with quantum-classical transition is also relevant to the quantum activation process,58 a transition process induced by noise between coexisting asymptotic states in a quantum system. We remark that, in a related work,59 it was reported that quantum isoperiodic stable structures can be retained by the information from the classical isoperiodic stable structures in presence of noise.
+Scaling of transient lifetime and physical understanding. The Kramer theory or the quantum activation theory stipulates that the escape rate  generally follows the scaling as
+
+ = exp(-Eb/Enoise),
+
+where Eb denotes the threshold energy for activation,  is a prefactor, and Enoise is the strength of the fluctuation, e.g., on the order of kBT~ due to the thermal environment or h�  in the deep quantum regime, where T~ represents temperature. At low temperatures, the quantum fluctuations are dominated by the
+zero-point energy.
+Figure 4 shows the relation between the average chaotic transient lifetime T and the magnitude g0 of the quantum fluctuations on a double logarithmic scale. The relation can be well fitted by a straight line,
+as shown in the inset of Fig. 4, which indicates the scaling law:
+
+ln T  (g0/)-s,
+
+(7)
+
+where -s (s > 0) is the slope of the linear fit. The scaling law is characteristic of superpersistent chaotic transients in nonlinear dynamical systems.60�64 The physical meaning is that, as the quantum fluctuations are reduced so that the classical description becomes more accurate, the chaotic behavior becomes significantly more persistent in that its lifetime increases faster than the Ehrenfest time.
+To better understand the scaling behavior of the average transient lifetime, we exploit the quantum Langevin equations:

+
+In general, a Langevin equation can be analyzed using the corresponding Fokker-Planck equation, where the stochastic component of the former contributes to the diffusion term in the evolution of the probability distribution of the latter. For the Fokker-Planck equation, a general solution cannot be written down explicitly except for one-dimensional systems. In this case, the steady state distribution has the form Ws(x) = N exp [-U(x)/D], where U(x) is the effective potential, D is the noise amplitude proportional to g20, and N is a normalization constant. The mean first passage time over a barrier, i.e., the diffusion time from a local minimum U(a) over a saddle point U(b), obeys the following scaling law65 with D: TMFP  e[U(b)-U(a)]/D. However, to predict the exact form of the scaling law from the general multivariable Fokker-Plack equation is difficult. An alternative is to calculate the average chaotic transition lifetime (or the mean first passage time) from the Langevin equations. The results are shown in Fig. 5. Due to the relative simplicity of the Langevin equation as compared with the QSD equation, it is possible to probe more deeply into the classical regime with much longer transition lifetime. We find that, in the g0 regime where both types of results are available, the agreement is excellent. In particular, solutions of the Langevin equation gives
+ln ln T / ln g0  -1.

Inset: the same plot but on a double logarithmic versus logarithmic scale. The magenta dash-dot curve is a fit of the superpersistent chaotic transients behavior while the red dash curve is a fit of the Ehrenfest scaling. In the inset the red straight curve shows the slope of the supperpersistent chaotic transients behavior is about -sc  -0.96. All points are result of averaging 10000 Langevin equation realizations.
+In Fig. 5(a), we show the fitting curve of the Ehrenfest scaling (red dash) as well as the superpersistent chaotic transition behavior (magenta dash-dot). For the Ehrenfest scaling, we use the least-squares method to fit T = C0 � g- on a double logarithmic scale. For the superpersistent scaling, it is not straightforward to fit the relation T = C1 � eC2/gs. We thus set C1 = 1 and fit the simulation results in terms of log [log ( T )] versus log g0. We see that the magenta curve fits better than the red curve, especially in the middle region. For small values of g0/0, the Ehrenfest scaling exhibits larger deviations from the simulation results as compared with the superpersistent transient scaling.
+For the QSD results (Fig. 4), we estimate the slope of the fitting line of ln ln ( T ) with ln g0 and obtain the absolute value of about 0.7, which is smaller than the result from the Langevin equation. There can be multiple reasons for the difference. For example, for a large value of g0/0, the trajectories tend to approach the periodic attractor from the beginning. However, the transition process takes time, so the state at an arbitrary instant of time during the transition is actually recorded. When the transition time is comparable with the transient time, error can occur. Considering that our system is higher than one dimensional and the simulations were done with the full quantum state diffusion equation, the difference in the slope may not be unreasonable. In particular, in high dimensions the slope should have a smaller absolute value because of the existence of more "paths" to cross the saddle point (there is only one route in one dimension), facilitating the transition.
+A natural question is whether the reverse process, i.e., transition from the periodic orbit to the chaotic orbit, can happen. In nonlinear dynamics, periodic attractors are usually more stable than chaotic attractors. Heuristically, a system in which a periodic and a chaotic attractors coexist can be viewed as particle motion in a mechanical system with two asymmetric potential wells subject to unbounded (e.g., Gaussian) noise, where the periodic attractor corresponds to the deep well and the chaotic attractor is associated with the shallow well, as schematically shown in Fig. 6(a). The probability for the particle to "hop" into the shallow

One such case is shown in Figs. 6(b) and 6(c), where the transition occurs at g0/0 = 0.056. For smaller values of g0, it is highly unlikely that the trajectory can switch into the periodic attractor. Even if this occurs, the probability for the trajectory to escape the periodic attractor will be exponentially small due to the higher potential barrier. For large values of g0, transition in both directions can occur, as shown in Fig. 6(c).
+Our reasoning based on separating the deterministic and stochastic components of the Langevin equation does not depend on the specific details of the system, suggesting that the fast growing behavior in the average transient lifetime and the associated scaling law are generic.
+Discussion
+To summarize, we investigate the fundamental problem of quantum-classical correspondence in optomechanical systems from the perspective of dynamical evolution. When the classical system exhibits chaos, the evolution of the quantum system contains two phases: chaotic motion in the (relatively) short time scale and regular motion in the long time scale. The transient chaotic behavior of the quantum system corresponds precisely to that in the classical limit - in this sense there is a well-defined quantum-classical correspondence. The long term behavior of the quantum system, however, is characteristically different from the classical behavior - in this sense there is a breakdown25 of the quantum-classical correspondence. As the classical regime is approached, the chaotic transient lifetime increases dramatically (faster than the Ehrenfest time for isolated systems - see below). Our finding of transient chaos in optomechanical systems, besides being a remarkable phenomenon by itself, provides a natural resolution for the paradoxical breakdown of quantum-classical correspondence.
+In general, the problem of quantum-classical correspondence can be addressed through the approach of quantum-classical transition (QCT). It is known that, unlike special relativity where Einstein's theory can be smoothly transformed to Newtonian mechanics in the limit v/c  0, the approach of a quantum system to the classical limit h�  0 is singular. In the classical world, chaos exists in both dissipative and Hamiltonian systems, and chaotic dynamics are often studied in the phase space. However, to our knowledge, attempts to find chaos in the Schro�dinger equation or in the quantum Liouville equation have not been convincingly successful. One reason is that isolated quantum systems are fundamentally linear. Another reason is that, the uncertainty principle forbids arbitrarily fine scale structures in the phase space. Indeed, in bounded and isolated (or closed) quantum systems the most complicated dynamics are quasiperiodic. Even though the transient behavior of a quantum system can be similar to that in the corresponding classical system, any classical features will be lost after a time scale called the Ehrenfest time: tE  h� - , where  is determined by the details of the system. Strictly, the Ehrenfest time holds for the idealized situation where the underlying system is fully closed. With the development of the quantum theory and advances in experimental techniques, the quantum dynamics of other types of situations have been considered, such as unconditioned open and conditioned open systems.66,67 In the former case, the system is coupled to the environment but no information about the system is extracted, while for the latter information about the state of the system is extracted from it. For an unconditioned open system, the dynamical evolution is governed by the quantum Master equation, which is still linear. However, for a conditioned open system, its dynamical evolution follows a stochastic quantum equation that contains a nonlinear term representing the conditioning due to the measurement.
+In the study of QCT, there are two general approaches to addressing the quantum-classical correspondence. The first is to focus on the agreement between the distribution functions, i.e., the quantum Wigner and the classical distribution functions - the weak form of QCT.26,27 The second approach, the strong

+
+form of the QCT,67,68 is to examine the localization of the quantum trajectory on the classical orbits, in which chaos can emerge naturally. To assess the degree of localization, continuous measurements of the system are required, introducing a nonlinear term in the quantum equation, so this approach is applicable only to conditioned open systems.
+Table 1 presents an overview of the status of the knowledge about QCT, with knowns and unknowns specified. An outstanding issue concerns the scaling of the transition time in the strong QCT regime. In particular, the question is whether the QCT time follows the same scaling law as the Ehrenfest time. We address this issue in this paper by exploiting optomechanical systems subject to continuous heterodyne detection, which fundamentally exhibits a strong form of QCT. Qualitatively, our main finding is that transient chaos effectively serves as a bridge for the QCT. Quantitatively, we uncover a scaling law for the transition time which is different from that for the Ehrenfest time associated with the conventional QCT for isolated systems. With the advances in experimental techniques, there is now ability to observe quantum trajectories.25,29 We expect the main results of this paper to be experimentally testable.
+We make a few further remarks pertinent to our results.
+Remark 1: Transient chaos in quantum systems - what does it mean? A quantum system is fundamentally linear. How can then a quantum trajectory be chaotic, even transiently? This paradox can be resolved, as follows. The Schro�dinger (quantum Master) equation describes the time evolution of an individual system in an ensemble of identical systems, from which the mean value of any physical quantity, |O^| [Tr(O^)] for an operator O^, can be obtained. This is an ideal evolution process during which no further disturbance or measurement should be made; for otherwise the wavefunction will collapse into an eigenstate determined by the whole system, including the measurement apparatus. Based on the quantum trajectory theory, the time evolution of the mean value can also be produced from the QSD calculations through the ensemble average. When there is chaos in the classical limit, the ensemble averaging process can make the time evolution of the mean value periodic. That is, even when QSD calculation gives that a single quantum trajectory is chaotic in the transient phase, the ensemble average of many such trajectories can still be regular.
+Remark 2: Effect of measurement. A single quantum trajectory, however, is not physically meaningless. For a dissipative quantum system, the Master equation can yield the best prediction about the dynamical evolution of an ensemble of the system in absence of any measurement. The single trajectory calculated from quantum methods, such as QSD and quantum jump theory, has the physical meaning of conditioned realization of an individual system under a particular observation record, through homodyne/heterodyne detection and photodetector.69,70 This makes the quantum trajectories subjectively real.70 In the continuously conditioned measurement theory, any measurement introduces a factor called the detector efficiency, 0    1, into the QSD simulation,71�74 which models the situation where the beam-splitter transmittivity is less than unity.71 Mathematically, this factor can be taken into account by decomposing the photon fluctuation term into two uncorrelated terms of strength  and 1 - ,
+12/21
+
+respectively.71,74 In the limit   1, this form of stochastic equation is reduced to the equation simulated in our work, which corresponds to perfect detection.
+Remark 3: Effect of temperature. Our treatment of the breakdown of quantum-classical correspondence in optomechanical systems as a problem of strong QCT assumes the low temperature limit. As we argue and demonstrate, the transition from chaos to a regular state is mediated by quantum fluctuations or noise. Naturally we expect that thermal noise would play a similar role. In particular, if we focus on the classical system subject to thermal noise, a transition from a chaotic attractor to a periodic one can occur, accompanied by transient chaos.
+In an optomechanical system, the fundamental physical constant h� cannot be changed in experiments. The degree of quantum fluctuations can be controlled by adjusting or engineering other parameters, e.g., the mass of the cantilever, while keeping the system at low temperature. Weaker quantum fluctuations corresponding to smaller values of g0 can be realized using a heavier cantilever. In this case, the quantum system would behave chaotically for a relatively long time, due to the exponentially long transient lifetime. We note that, in the high temperature regime, the strength of the quantum fluctuations scales as  g20(2n� + 1), where n�  kbT /h� m. This indicates a counter-balancing effect between temperature T and mass m as  T /m. Consequently, at high temperatures a system of relatively large mass can still behave chaotically for a long time.
+Remark 4: Emergence of chaos in the quantum regime. In the works of Habib et al.,68, 75 the occurrence of chaos in the quantum regime was reported. The underlying mechanism lies in continuous measurement, which is key to resolving the quantum-classical correspondence, as demonstrated in our work.
+A pertinent question is, since the transition time from classical chaotic to quantum regular motions can be quite short, why would there be chaos in the deep quantum regime as studied by Habib et al.? In these works, a toy model was studied and the main idea was to vary the effective Planck constant h� (e.g., from 10-2 to 16) and the measurement strength k to calculate the quantum Lyapunov exponent  and compare its values with those of the classical exponent Cl. It was found68, 75 that, for h� = 10-2, the classical results can be recovered through continuous changes in the measurement strength. Furthermore, non-negative values of  were obtained before the classical limit, indicating that chaos may exist in the regime far away from the classical limit.
+The optomechanical systems we studied are experimentally realizable, for which there are realistic criteria to determine if the system is in a classical or in a quantum regime. In particular, to characterize an optomechanical system, a number of key dimensionless parameters can be used - see, e.g., Eq. (119) in Ref.3 The most relevant parameter is g0/ - the "quantumness" parameter, where g0/ > 1 represents the strong couping regime in which the optical device can detect the change of even one phonon. In our work, we used g0/ in the range 10-2  10-1. To determine whether this regime is quantum, we refer to Fig. 9 in Ref.,3 which summarizes the experimental parameters for various quantum realizations. For example, in Ref.,22 the parameter values g0/2 = 910 kHz and /2 = 500 MHz were used, which lead to g0/ = 1.82 � 10-3. In Ref.,76 the values g0/2 = 3.4 kHz and /2  1 MHz were used, giving rise to g0/  10-3. In addition, in experimental studies of conditioned measurement of optomechanical systems,28 the value of g0/ used was about 10-5 but contributions from quantum noise were also taken into account. (In these experimental works, the aim was not finding chaos in the quantum regime.) Referring to the values of g0/ realized in these experiments, we see that the systems studied in our work are in the quantum regime even for e.g., g0/ = 0.045. Thus, there is no conflict between our result and that of Habib et al.68,75 Considering the fact that many quantum trajectories in our system localize on the classical chaotic attractor for thousands of periods and this time can be made significantly longer
+13/21
+
+through small changes in the the parameter g0/, from the point of view of experiments, there is chaos in the quantum regime in our system. However, we emphasize that the main point of our work is not that we find chaos in the quantum regime. Our goal is to address the issue of quantum to classical transition quantitatively through a scaling analysis of the transition time. It is for this purpose that we use the notions of "classical limit" versus "quantum regime."
+Remark 5: appearance of chaos in the quantum regime in absence of classical chaos. There were recent reports of emergence of chaos in the quantum regime in absence of classical chaos.77,78 In these works, the quantum versus classical "weights" of the system is controlled by the effective Planck constant, where the classical limit is reached when the constant approaches zero. In our system, the parameter g0 plays the same role. In classical nonlinear dynamical systems, chaos is common and noise can induce transition among different attractors - these phenomena are usually system and parameter dependent. A main point of our work is that quantum fluctuations can effectively serve as noise and induce transitions, with transient time depending on the fluctuation strength. We note that B. Pokharel et al.77 used quantum tunneling to explain their results. In our work we focused on the case where the classical limit is chaotic, and we observe transitions in both directions: from chaotic to regular motions and vice versa, and we argue that the transition probabilities in the opposite directions can be drastically different. In general, even for a set of parameters for which the asymptotic classical dynamics is regular, there can be transient chaos in relatively short time scales due to nonattracting chaotic invariant sets. When there is noise, there can be transitions between the regular attractor and the nonattracting chaotic set, leading to a combined chaotic attractor. In a general sense, quantum tunneling can induce transitions among different states and, as a result, chaos in the quantum regime can occur in open systems subject to continuous measurement. In this sense, our work does not contradict that of B. Pokharel et al.77
+Remark 6: "suppression" of classical chaos. Equation (2) holds in classical limit for which quantum fluctuations do not exist. In the quantum regime, the fluctuations are naturally incorporated into the quantum trajectory calculations. To account for the quantum fluctuations in the semiclassical theory, we use the quantum Langevin equation.52 Note that Eq. (8) is a set of rescaled equations so that the fluctuation or "noise" strength is nothing but g0. However, the noisy version of Eq. (2) can be studied so as to reveal the equivalence between the effects of classical noise and quantum fluctuations. We focus on the noise-to-driving ratio, a quantity that increases with g0. In the quantum Duffing oscillator model,78 when the parameter  is increased, the amplitude of the driving (g/ ) cos (t) is reduced. For very large value of  , the quantum Lyapunov exponent becomes negative while the exponent in the classical limit remains positive, indicating a transition from chaos to a periodic behavior. We observed similar results in our optomechanical systems, i.e., the quantum fluctuations can suppress classical chaos.
+Mathematically, suppression of classical chaos can be treated as a phenomenon of quantum fluctuation induced transition. In our optomechanical system the periodic attractor is apparently more stable than the chaotic attractor, which also appears to be the case in the quantum Duffing system studied by J. K. Eastman et al.78 in the parameter regime where there is chaos in the classical limit. For small values of g0 where the quantum fluctuations are weak, the classical chaotic behavior can last for a long time, as quantified by the scaling law uncovered in our paper. For relatively large values of g0, the transition time from chaos to a periodic behavior becomes significantly shorter. In our paper we also discuss the reverse transition and point out that the probability is negligibly small, as shown in Figs. 6(b,c). While the reverse transition can occur with a larger probability for very strong noise, in optomechanical systems such strong noise cannot be realized with quantum fluctuations only.10, 12, 20

+Methods
+
+Historically, the method of quantum trajectory represented an efficient way to solve the master equation, and certain types of quantum trajectories can correspond to the result of conditioned measurement.29�40 Mathematically, an ensemble of quantum systems whose state vectors are governed by a stochastic differential equation can have a density operator that satisfies a unique deterministic master equation. In contrast, a specific master equation can correspond to many different stochastic equations or different unravellings such as the QSD equation, the quantum jump equation, or the orthogonal jump equation.79 While all the unravellings can be used to simulate the master equation, they have a different physical meaning. The most commonly calculated quantum trajectories are those from the QSD equation and the quantum jump equation, corresponding to homodyne and photon counting detection, respectively.

+In general, QSD represents a conditioned measurement experiment and the wave functions that it generates are normally localized about a point in the phase space. This fact can be exploited to improve the computational efficiency.81 Say a wave function is localized about the point (q, p). We can represent it using the so-called excited coherent basis states, |q, p, n = D(q, p)|n , instead of a large number of Fock states. Physically, this means that we exploit a moving basis that separates the wavefunction representation into a classical part (q, p) and a quantum part |q, p, n , which is effectively a mixed representation. The excited coherent states are defined through the coherent state displacement operator:
+
+D(q, p) = exp i (pQ^ - qP^). h�
+
+where Q^ and P^ are the position and momentum operators. The displacement operator can be defined using
+
+the creation/annihilation operator as
+
+D() = ea^-a^,
+
+and the matrix element in Fock state is
+
+m|D( )|n
+
+=
+
+e
+
+1 2
+
+| |2
+
+m! n!
+
+(-
+
+)n-mLmn-m(|
+
+|2),
+
+where Lmn-m(||2) is the associate Laguerre polynomials. Suppose at t = t0 the state of the system is localized about (q0, p0), i.e.,
+
+(q0, p0) = ( (t0)|Q^|(t0) , (t0)|P^|(t0) ).
+
+After one time step, we have
+
+(q1, p1) = ( (t0 +  t)|Q^|(t0) +  t , (t0 +  t)|P^|(t0 +  t) ) = (q0, p0)
+
+We then shift the basis from (q0, p0) to (q1, p1), which can be done through
+
+|(t0 + t) = D(- q, - p)|(t0) .
+
+Besides the wavefunction, we need to transform the operators into the new basis as well. The procedure is straightforward due to certain properties of the displacement operator:
+
+D()a^D() = a^ +  D()a^D() = a^ + 
+
+which changes the transformation of the Hamiltonian and the operators from two matrix multiplications to one matrix addition. In spite of the need to perform base transformation at each time step, the overall computational speed is faster than that with the Fock state calculation.

+ABSTRACT We present results of three-dimensional, multi-physics simulations of an AGN jet colliding with an intergalactic cloud. The purpose of these simulations is to assess the degree of "positive feedback," i.e. jet-induced star formation, that results. We have specifically tailored our simulation parameters to facilitate comparison with recent observations of Minkowski's Object (M.O.), a stellar nursery located at the termination point of a radio jet coming from galaxy NGC 541. As shown in our simulations, such a collision triggers shocks which propagate around and through the cloud. These shocks condense the gas and under the right circumstances may trigger cooling instabilities, creating runaway increases in density, to the point that individual clumps can become Jeans unstable. Our simulations provide information about the expected star formation rate, total mass converted to H I, H2, and stars, and the relative velocity of the stars and gas. Our results confirm the possibility of jet-induced star formation, and agree well with the observations of M.O. Keywords: galaxies: individual (Minkowski's Object) -- galaxies: jets -- hydrodynamics -- inter-
+galactic medium -- shock waves
+1. INTRODUCTION The interaction between high-energy jets from active galactic nuclei (AGN) and their surroundings has long been a topic of great astrophysical interest. It is well known that AGN feedback can control the size of a galaxy by influencing star formation, but the mechanism behind this is not well understood. Several recent observations (Nesvadba et al. 2010; Guillard et al. 2015), as well as numerical studies (e.g. Sutherland & Bicknell 2007; Antonuccio-Delogu & Silk 2008; Gaibler et al. 2012), have demonstrated that AGN feedback can be either "negative" or "positive." The exact astrophysical conditions in the jet and cloud are important in determining what direction feedback takes. Jets can be roughly divided according to their Fanaroff-Riley classification (Fanaroff & Riley 1974). Fast, energetic FRII jets seem more likely to result in negative feedback. Negative feedback curbs or even halts star formation, and is thought to result from the extreme radiative and kinetic energies of the jet, which heat and disperse the starforming gas. Additionally, the kinetic energy of a jet creates turbulence that can prevent ambient gas from cooling and subsequently coalescing (e.g. Nesvadba et al. 2010). For example, a study of the system 3C 326 by Ogle et al. (2007) found that, despite the strong H2 line emission and an inferred molecular gas mass of 2 �109 M , the star formation is 20 times lower than predicted by the Kennicutt-Schmidt law. They infer that turbulent heating from the
+fragilep@cofc.edu
+

+jet is inhibiting star formation. Other studies, though, suggest increased star formation may be seen in the cocoon of such jets (e.g. Gaibler et al. 2012).
+In contrast, FRI jets propagate through the ISM/IGM with energies high enough to create compression in the surrounding gas, but low enough to reduce the chance of significant turbulent heating. These jets are observed in positive feedback cases, wherein the effect of the jet serves to enhance star formation, including Centaurus A (Salom�e et al. 2016, and references therein), 4C 41.17 (Bicknell et al. 2000), and Minkowski's Object (hereafter M.O.) (Croft et al. 2006, hereafter C06). We give more details on both positive and negative feedback in Section 2.
+In this paper, we focus on the case of M.O., a peculiar star forming object located at a redshift of z = 0.0189 (C06) that is currently being bombarded by a FR I radio jet from the nearby galaxy NGC 541. The M.O. system is of particular interest due to the lack of evidence for an especially dense ISM or IGM. There is also not much evidence for cold gas outside of the jet interaction site, unlike in Centaurus A. As a result, it is unlikely that significant star formation would proceed in M.O. without the interaction of the jet.
+A strong argument in favor of jet-induced star formation in M.O. is the morphology of the jet-cloud interaction site. Outside of the jet interaction, the gas in M.O. is warm ( 104 K) and clumpy. Near the jet interaction site there is a double structure of H I gas wrapped around the jet and numerous H II regions (C06). C06 thus determined that it is likely that the jet interaction in M.O. caused the warm gas to cool into the H I, in contrast to the pre-existing cold gas regions in Centaurus A. Also, the star forming regions in M.O. correlate with the jet-cloud morphology; the region where the star formation is the highest is the center of the jet-cloud interaction, and the star formation rate (SFR) decreases laterally from this point (C06).
+M.O. may, in fact, be a low redshift example of the type of jet-induced star formation that was perhaps more common in the early universe. Evidence for this is the similarity between M.O. in ultraviolet and the rest-frame UV morphology of suspected jet-induced star-forming regions around high-redshift radio galaxies.
+The present work can be viewed as an extension of our earlier study of the interactions of radiative shocks with clouds (Fragile et al. 2004). That work focused mostly on the effects of planar shocks overtaking individual (or small collections of) warm clumps on the scale of  100 pc. In the current work, we explore the much richer problem of a full jet intersecting an inhomogeneous intergalactic cloud on the scale of tens of kpc. The paper proceeds as follows: Section 2 covers the theory behind jet-cloud interactions, Section 3 describes the numerical models used to capture the M.O. system, Section 4 details the simulation results, and Section 5 concludes the findings.
+2. JET-CLOUD INTERACTIONS
+The basic idea of jet-induced star formation (i.e. positive feedback) is that the collision of the jet with the cloud will trigger a series of shocks within the cloud. The immediate effect of these shocks will be to compress and heat the gas. Depending on how the radiative processes scale with density and temperature, the net result can be to dramatically increase the radiative efficiency within the cloud. If the temperature dependence is shallower than the density dependence, the cloud can enter a phase of runaway cooling. This process occurs most quickly in relatively over-dense regions of the original cloud. These over-dense regions then proceed to collapse at an accelerating pace. Provided some of these clumps start sufficiently close to the Jeans limit, this collapse will push them beyond this limit, such that gravitational collapse can take over and the clump will proceed to form stars.
+The properties of the jet and cloud are key to controlling this process. For positive feedback to be important, the initial cloud must be dense enough for some parts to be reasonably close to the Jeans limit. The temperature must also be such that any increase in temperature is met with a dramatic increase in cooling (the hydrogen cooling edge at  104 K is a good example). It also generally helps for the jet to be significantly less dense than the cloud. Finally, the jet velocity needs to be fast enough to trigger shocks in the cloud, yet not so fast that the cloud is disrupted before cooling can have much of an effect.
+3. NUMERICAL MODELS
+Our numerical simulations are performed using the well-tested Cosmos++ computational astrophysics code (Anninos et al. 2005), specifically its Newtonian hydrodynamics solvers. Cosmos++ carries over many of the multi-physics capabilities found in its predecessor code Cosmos (Anninos et al. 2003). The Newtonian solvers have previously been utilized to study the bar mode instability in magnetized, rotating neutron stars (Camarda et al. 2009) and the galactic center G2 event (Anninos et al. 2012). The current work uses the High Resolution Shock Capturing (HRSC) scheme, which was described in its relativistic form in Fragile et al. (2012). As there are few differences between the relativistic and Newtonian forms, we do not give a full presentation here, focusing instead on the packages that are most important to this paper: chemistry, cooling, and star formation. Note that, although magnetic fields can play an important role

+
+in shock-induced star formation (cf. Fragile et al. 2005), they are not considered in this work. Most prior numerical studies of stimulated star formation from jet-generated shocks have been hampered by the
+resolution of the computational mesh (e.g. Fragile et al. 2004). In the present work, we significantly improve on previous resolution limitations by employing the adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) capabilities of Cosmos++. Cosmos++ employs a local AMR scheme, in which refinement and de-refinement decisions are made on a cell-by-cell basis, using an oct-tree network to traverse the grid hierarchy (Anninos et al. 2005). Each level of refinement doubles the spatial resolution in each dimension within a given parent cell. This style of local AMR scheme ensures that the refinement and de-refinement conform as closely as possible to the shape of the region of interest, in this case the shocks and unstable cooling fronts triggered inside the cloud by the jet. The AMR capabilities and the improvements in computing power have also allowed us to move from two-dimensional to more realistic three-dimensional simulations. Other improvements over our previous work include: simulating an object the size of M.O., instead of much smaller cloudlets; inputting a realistic jet, instead of a planar shock; inclusion of a star-formation prescription; and inclusion of dust grain chemistry.
+In this work, we present an idealized case of a direct, axially symmetric collision between a jet and a pre-existing spherical cloud. As such, it is a simple, and well controlled, test simulation, albeit with imperfect correspondence to M.O. In the case of M.O., it is thought that the collision was between a jet and a stellar bridge connecting the elliptical galaxy, NGC 541, with the interacting galaxies, NGC 545/547 (C06). There is also evidence that the jet is slowly sweeping across M.O. (C06). Despite these differences, the correspondence in parameters between our simulation and M.O. ensure that our results are applicable and the simulation can be used to better understand the dynamics of this particular object and of jet-induced star formation more generally.
+
+3.1. Simulation Setup
+
+Although we performed some two-dimensional simulations to test different code options and explore our parameter space, we focus on reporting the results of our 3D simulations. The 3D simulations have a base resolution of 384�128� 128 zones to cover a domain that is approximately 30 kpc � 10 kpc � 10 kpc with reflection boundaries applied in the y- and z-directions, so that we only simulate one quadrant of the full problem. The finest spatial resolution achieved is 19.5 pc per zone, reached by including 2 levels of refinement on top of the 384 � 128 � 128 base mesh, equivalent to a uniform mesh of 1536 � 512 � 512 zones. The criterion used for refinement is that any zone with n  0.01 cm-3 is kept at the maximum refinement, while zones that fall below n < 0.0005 cm-3 are allowed to de-refine, provided neighboring zones never differ by more than one level of refinement and no zone is allowed to drop below the base resolution. Zones are checked against the refinement and de-refinement criteria once every ten evolution steps in the numerical code. We find that a minimum resolution close to our base value is required even in the background in order to get reasonable convergence in the star formation rate.
+The cloud, which represents the parent object of M.O., is initialized with a radius of Rcl = 7.5 kpc. It is, therefore, somewhat smaller, in terms of projected area, than the real value of 275 kpc2 (C06). The cloud is modeled as nonself-gravitating gas within a fixed dark-matter potential. The omission of self-gravity is reasonable, given that the gravitational potential in an object like M.O. will be dominated by dark-matter (Persic et al. 1996). The shape of the potential is given by a modified Hubble profile (Binney & Tremaine 1987)

+where Md = 1011M is the dark-matter mass, xt = Rt/Rc, and Rt = 10Rcl is the tidal radius. The gas is initialized to be isothermal, with Tcl = 2 � 105 K, and in hydrostatic equilibrium within the potential, such that the density

+

+
+where cs is the isothermal sound speed. The gas within this potential is made clumpy by overlaying a random, lognormal distribution of the form n~eX, with standard deviation  = 2 ln(n�/n~) = 0.05 and n� = 0.5 cm-3, where X is a
+randomly drawn variable with a mean of 0 and variance of 1. The normalization is such that the total gas mass within Rcl is Mg = 1.4 � 109M , which we show gives about the right mass of H I (4.9 � 108M ; C06), and giving an overall average density in the cloud of �cl = 5.3 � 10-26 g cm-3. The gas is initialized to have a mean molecular weight of
+
+4
+
+� = 1.3, appropriate for neutral, solar metallicity gas, although this only affects the initialization, as � is subsequently solved for self-consistently by the chemistry package. The cloud is immersed in a background gas with nb = 10-4 cm-3 and Tb = 5 � 107 K, such that the cloud and background are initially in approximate pressure equilibrium at the cloud surface. To avoid numerical problems caused by the background gas density dropping too far below its initial value, a density floor of 10-7 cm-3 is set. Each simulation is run for a total of four sound-crossing-times, Rcl/cs,b, of the cloud in the background gas, which corresponds to about 40 Myr total.
+A jet is introduced into the simulation domain through one end. First, we estimate the power of the jet impacting M.O. from the claimed correlation with radio luminosity, Pjet  7.2 � 1036(Lrad/1030 erg s-1)12/17 erg s-1 (K�ording et al. 2008), using the measured radio luminosity of NGC 541, Lrad  1041 erg s-1 (van Breugel et al. 1985). This gives a value for the kinetic power of 4 � 1044 erg s-1. This estimate is roughly consistent with independent estimates
+of the jet power from the other radio source in Abell 194, 3C40B, based on X-ray cavity energetics (Bogd�an et al.
+2011). Since both sources have similar radio luminosities, it seems reasonable that their jet powers would be similar,
+too. In order to translate this jet power into simulation variables, we are also guided by dynamical models for jet
+deceleration in intergalactic environments (e.g. Laing & Bridle 2002). We settle on the following jet parameters: a density of njet = 5 � 10-6 cm-3, a diameter of Djet = 5 kpc, and a velocity of 10% of the speed of light. For a cylindrical jet of cross-sectional area Ajet, this yields a kinetic power, Pjet = jetAjetvj3et = 6 � 1043 erg s-1, somewhat below the power estimate above, consistent with the jet having dissipated some fraction of its power prior to reaching
+M.O.
+
+3.2. Chemistry Models
+
+In our simulations, we follow the abundances of 9 atomic and molecular species: H I, H II, He I, He II, He III, e-, H-, H2, and H+2 . The evolution of each species is governed by an equation of the form

+
+(4)
+

+

+
+These rate equations are solved using a stable, semi-implicit, backward difference scheme that we developed in Anninos et al. (1997), which has since become a standard method adopted by the general community (e.g. Smith et al. 2016) due to its combination of robustness, efficiency, and accuracy. A total of 27 gas-phase chemical reactions are included in the full network, including 19 collisional (kij) and 8 photoionization/photodissociation (Ii) processes. The exact reaction chains are spelled out in Anninos et al. (2003). The photoionization field is set to 10-21 s-1, appropriate for cosmic UV background radiation at low redshift (Bechtold et al. 1987), while the photodissociation rate is 5.0 � 10-11 s-1, appropriate for the local interstellar medium (Spaans & Neufeld 1997). For photoionization, the products of the external field and the respective interaction cross sections are each integrated over frequency to derive effective photoionization rates for H, He, and molecules. To account for self-shielding within the cloud, we approximate the optical depth as i = inil, where HI = 6.3 � 10-18 cm2 (Osterbrock 1989), H2 = 5.2 � 10-18 cm2 (Hollenbach et al. 1971), and l is the length of a typical zone.
+We account for the effect of dust grains by adding an extra reaction to the network consisting of collisional interactions between grains and hydrogen atoms to enhance the production of molecules. Dust grains can also absorb and emit radiation, effectively acting as an additional cooling or heating mechanism. Both collisional and cooling rates are sensitive functions of the gas and grain temperatures, and of the grain size. We adopt the grain reaction and cooling models of Hollenbach & McKee (1979) and Omukai (2000) for this work, assuming a characteristic grain size and temperature of 100 �A and 10 K, respectively.

A cooling floor is set at Tfloor = 10 K, below which only adiabatic cooling is possible.
+
+3.4. Star Formation Model
+
+In this study, we are particularly interested in tracking the formation of stars within the cloud. We follow the
+
+approach of Rasera & Teyssier (2006) in defining a density threshold, n , above which star formation is triggered at a
+
+rate given by
+
+
+
+ =
+
+(7)
+
+tff
+
+where tff = 3/32G is the local free-fall time and controls the star formation efficiency. We tested values of n between 0.5 and 4 cm-3 and between 0.02 and 0.1, settling in our two highest resolution simulations on n = 1 cm-3
+and = 0.02. This star formation appears as a sink term in the continuity equation
+
+
+
++  � (v) = - .
+
+(8)
+
+t
+
+By tracking how much mass is lost to star formation during each compute cycle, we are able to continuously track the star formation rate throughout the simulation.
+Additionally, we use tracer particles to track the most massive (M  0.02M ) "stars" created in this way. Each star particle is given an initial velocity equal to the velocity of the gas in the zone in which the star is created. The particles are then fed into a post-processing routine, which integrates their motion through the dark-matter potential. This is not entirely realistic as some momentum may get redistributed during the free-fall process that leads to star formation, but we at least capture the dominant force that would act on the stars once they form.
+We are justified in our neglect of self-gravity in following the collapse of the cloud, because the initial Jeans radius
+
+15kT
+
+1/2
+
+RJ = 4G�mH 
+
+(9)
+
+of the cloud is 21 kpc, more than twice the size of the cloud. Even at the densities and temperatures typical of star formation in our simulations (  2 � 10-24 g cm-3 and T  1000 K), the Jeans length is still 240 pc, which is considerably less than the original radius of the cloud, yet well above the resolution limits of our simulations. More importantly, it is comparable to the size scales of the regions that exceed the star formation criteria, meaning the clumps are just becoming Jeans unstable whenever our star formation model kicks in and starts converting gas in these regions to stars. In other words, just when self-gravity would be taking over is when our star formation model kicks in.
+
+4. RESULTS
+Table 1 summarizes the 3 simulations presented in this work. The naming convention refers to the base resolution and how many total grid resolution levels there are. Figure 1 presents volume visualizations from an intermediateand the end-time of our highest resolution 3D simulation (384x128x128 3level). A number of general features are apparent. First, the cloud is dense enough and has enough inertia to dramatically slow the propagation of the jet (represented by its temperature in red). At the speed the jet is traveling, if not for the cloud (and, to a lesser extent, the background gas) impeding its progress, it should have traversed 41 box lengths (164 cloud radii) over the duration of the simulation. Instead, most of the jet material is deflected to the sides of the cloud, though a significant fraction of its energy is deposited within the cloud gas. The blue material represents neutral hydrogen (H I) and shows that the core of the original cloud remains relatively intact until late times. At the head of the jet, where it is interacting with the cloud, a thin layer of very dense, cold gas has formed (represented by the green, H2, gas). This is where star formation is expected to occur. This figure shows qualitative similarities with Fig. 1 of Lacy et al. (2017, hereafter L17), which reports ALMA observations of M.O.
+
+4.1. Shock Propagation
+In Figure 1, we can clearly see the termination shock at the end of the collimated jet. Ahead of it is a compression shock being driven into the cloud (not seen in Figure 1, but lying just ahead of the cold, dense H2 gas seen in green).

+We can compare its position with the estimated shock velocity in the cloud. If we take our jet velocity, vjet = 3 � 104 km s-1, as the speed of the post-shocked material inside the jet, then we can use the usual jump conditions,

+
+(10)
+
+where vps and vsh are measured in the rest frame of the pre-shock gas, to estimate the speed of the jet shock, vsh,jet  4vjet/3 = 4 � 104 km s-1. If the shock in the jet is strong, then the post-shock pressure is approximately jetvs2h,jet.

+
+4.2. Cooling Front
+
+As mentioned in Section 2, for the jet feedback to be positive, it is critical for the cooling timescale to be shorter than the disruption timescale of the cloud, taken to be the shock-crossing time. Following Fragile et al. (2004), we estimate the cooling time to be

+
+(13)
+
+This is much shorter than any other relevant timescale in the problem. Figure 2 shows how this cooling front and the associated star formation progresses over the course of the simulation.
+
+4.3. Star Particles
+As a reminder, whenever more than 0.02M of gas is converted into stars within a given zone within a single cycle, then a star particle is created to track the properties, such as position, age, and velocity, of that "star." Following this prescription, we created over 2.3 � 107 star particles in our lowest resolution simulation (384x128x128). The star particles span an age range from 0 � 32 Myr. However, this "age" does not correspond directly to the age of a star, as we do not account for the freefall and pre-main-sequence lifetimes of each. At best, the star particle ages give an estimate of the range of ages that may be expected and, as shown in Figure 3, some feeling for the spatial distribution of "young" and "old" stars.
+An interesting point about the stellar ages in our simulations is that they show a negative curvature along the direction of jet propagation, that is, the youngest (currently forming) stars are found between two populations of slightly older stars, one in the upstream direction and one downstream. The upstream population are stars that formed recently, only slightly before the current star formation. The downstream population are some of the first stars

Data have again been reflected across the y = 0 and z = 0 planes. Axes are marked in units of cloud radii, Rcl.

Since the star particles are not coupled to the gas, they can actually pass ahead of the shock as it slows down, giving an apparently older population ahead of the current star formation front.
+Figure 3 (right panel) shows the spatial distributions of the star particles, colored by the magnitude of their velocities. As mentioned above, the fastest moving star particles are on the downstream edges of the distribution. By using our results from Sec. 4.1 and inverting the shock jump condition, we predict a post-shock velocity in the cloud of

Since our star particles are assigned their velocity based upon the velocity of the gas from which they form, we expect the simulated star particle velocities to be similar. Figure 4 shows a histogram of the velocity distribution of all of the star particles. The distribution peaks at around 85 km s-1, which is fairly consistent with our crude predictions. The spread in our velocity distribution is also fairly consistent with the  40 km s-1 of
+velocity shear observed in M.O. (L17).
+
+4.4. Star Formation Rate
+
+Figure 5 shows the measured star formation rate (S.F.R.) as a function of time for two different 3D simulations done at different effective resolutions, from 39.1 pc per zone (384x128x128 2level) to 19.5 pc per zone (384x128x128 3level). Up to a point, we expect the simulated S.F.R. to be sensitive to resolution. At higher resolutions, more gas is going to be able to reach the density threshold, n , of our star formation model. However, a limit should be reached where the high density filaments are well enough resolved that their size and peak density are no longer functions of resolution. It appears we may have reached this point in our highest resolution simulations, as they track each other closely. Equally important, we achieved an S.F.R., or correspondingly an H luminosity, since (Kennicutt 1998)

+
+consistent with the observed value in M.O. (S.F.R. = 0.47M yr-1 or LH = 5.9 � 1040 erg s-1; Salom�e et al. 2015). In fact, we overshoot the observed S.F.R. after about 20 Myr. However, we are neglecting negative feedback effects,
+such as supernovae from the first generation of stars, which would damp this rate.
+
+4.5. Other Comparisons with Observations
+Figure 6 tracks the total mass of H I, H2, and stars over the course of our highest resolution simulation. All of these measures are within about a factor of two of their observed values. The simulation slightly overproduces H I [9.2 � 108M in the simulation vs. 4.9 � 108M for M.O. (C06)], slightly underproduces H2 [1.3 � 107M vs. (3.0 - 18) � 107M in M.O. (L17)], and slightly overproduces stars [3.3 � 107M vs. 1.9 � 107M in M.O. (C06)]. We find an electron number density in our cloud of ne  0.2 cm-3, also somewhat lower than the range of 1-10 cm-3 obtained for M.O. (C06). Figure 6 also tracks the "star formation efficiency," M /MHI, over time. By this measure, our simulation achieves a peak star formation efficiency of 3.5%, very close to the value of 4% measured in M.O. (C06).
+
+5. DISCUSSION & CONCLUSION
+In this work, we used 3D multi-physics hydrodynamic simulations to model the evolution of a radio jet impacting a single, dwarf-galaxy-scale cloud in a direct, axially-symmetric collision. Our intention is to use these simulations to better understand observations of M.O., the peculiar starburst galaxy located at the termination point of the radio jet from NGC 541.

+
+Our first, main conclusion is that jet-induced star formation (i.e. positive feedback) is possible under this scenario. Figure 5 shows a dramatic increase in star formation attributable to the jet interaction, and the star-formation rate matches M.O. well. Importantly, this star formation is occurring upstream of the bulk of the H I (compare Figures 1 and 2), also consistent with observations (C06).
+Other quantitative measures from the simulations also show substantial agreement with the observations. For example, the total masses of H I, H2, and stars (Figure 6) are all within a factor of two of their M.O. values. Additionally, the velocity histogram of our star particles peaks at |v|  85 km s-1 (Figure 4), which is roughly consistent with observations (L17). Given the relative simplicity of our setup (uniform jet hitting spherical cloud head on), it is remarkable how well our results match quantitatively across such a wide range of diagnostics.
+The spatial distribution of the star particle velocities is interesting. The fastest moving star particles are found furthest downstream (Figure 3). These are also some of the first star particles to form (i.e. they are the oldest), which is consistent with a slowing of the propagation speed of the star formation front. We plan to reexamine the observations of M.O. to see if a similar distribution is present.
+
+Simulations of a Jet-Cloud Collision
+

+
+One effect that is not treated in these simulations is negative feedback from the star formation process itself. Once the first generation of massive stars form, there is only a limited amount of time (of the order a few Myr) for star formation to continue before heating from these stars would effectively shut it off (Dong et al. 2003). This might explain why the S.F.R. in M.O. appears to be lower now than it was in the past � negative feedback may already be kicking in.
+As future observations continue to constrain the star formation history of M.O., we plan to continue to refine our simulations. Future modifications to our setup may include: simulating non-axially-symmetric interactions between the jet and cloud; having the jet sweep across the cloud; or adding more feedback mechanisms, such as heating from young stars and supernovae. We could also include self gravity, which would only enhance and accelerate the star formation.

+(Received 25 September 2017)
+In the present treatise, a stability analysis of the bottom boundary layer under solitary waves based on energy bounds and nonmodal theory is performed. The instability mechanism of this flow consists of a competition between streamwise streaks and twodimensional perturbations. For lower Reynolds numbers and early times, streamwise streaks display larger amplification due to their quadratic dependence on the Reynolds number, whereas two-dimensional perturbations become dominant for larger Reynolds numbers and later times in the deceleration region of this flow, as the maximum amplification of two-dimensional perturbations grows exponentially with the Reynolds number. By means of the present findings, we can give some indications on the physical mechanism and on the interpretation of the results by direct numerical simulation in (Vittori & Blondeaux 2008; Ozdemir et al. 2013) and by experiments in (Sumer et al. 2010). In addition, three critical Reynolds numbers can be defined for which the stability properties of the flow change. In particular, it is shown that this boundary layer changes from a monotonically stable to a non-monotonically stable flow at a Reynolds number of Re = 18.
+1. Introduction In recent years, stability and transition processes in the boundary layer under solitary
+water waves have received increased attention in the coastal engineering community, cf. (Liu et al. 2007; Vittori & Blondeaux 2008; Sumer et al. 2010; Ozdemir et al. 2013; Verschaeve & Pedersen 2014). Motivated by the design of harbors and other coastal installations, this boundary layer is of importance for understanding sediment transport phenomena under water waves and scaling effects in experiments.
+In the present treatise, the mechanisms leading to instability and finally to turbulent transition shall be investigated by means of a nonmodal stability analysis. The present boundary layer is not only of interest for the coastal engineering community, but can also serve as a useful generic flow for the investigation of stability and transition mechanisms of boundary layers displaying favorable and adverse pressure gradients, such as the ones developing in front and behind of the location of maximum thickness of an airplane wing or turbine blade profile. In addition, the present flow can be considered a model for the single stroke of a pulsating flow, such as Stokes' second problem, which is of importance for biomedical applications.

+
+in the ocean engineering community for several reasons. They are nonlinear and dispersive. When frictional effects due to the boundary layer at the bottom and the top are negligible, the shape of solitary waves is preserved during propagation. Relatively simple approximate analytic solutions exist, see for instance Benjamin (1966), Grimshaw (1971) or Fenton (1972). In addition, these waves are relatively easy to reproduce experimentally. As such, they are often used in order to investigate the effect of a single crest of a train of waves.
+
+The first works on the boundary layer under solitary waves aimed at estimating the dissipative effect on the overall wave (Shuto 1976; Miles 1980). The bottom boundary layer has been considered more relevant than the surface boundary layer for viscous dissipation (Liu & Orfila 2004) and the stability of this boundary layer is also the subject of the present treatise.
+
+The earliest experiments on the bottom boundary layer under solitary waves have been performed for internal waves by (Carr & Davies 2006, 2010) and for surface waves by Liu et al. (2007). The latter showed that an inflection point develops in the deceleration region behind the crest of the wave. However, instabilities have not been observed in the experiments performed by them (Liu et al. 2007). In 2010, Sumer et al. used a water tunnel to perform experiments on the boundary layer under solitary waves. They observed three flow regimes. By means of a Reynolds number Re, defined by the Stokes length of the boundary layer and the characteristic particle velocity, as used in Ozdemir et al. (2013) and in the present treatise, these regimes can be characterized as follows. For small Reynolds numbers Re < 630( ReSumer = 2 � 105, i.e. the Reynolds number defined in Sumer et al. (2010)), the flow does not display any instabilities and is close to the laminar solution given in Liu et al. (2007). For a Reynolds number in the range 630 Re < 1000 (2 � 105 ReSumer < 5 � 105), they observed the appearance of regularly spaced vortex rollers in the deceleration region of the flow. Increasing the Reynolds number further leads to a transitional flow displaying the emergence of turbulent spots growing together and causing transition to turbulence in the boundary layer. This happens at first in the deceleration region. However, the first instance of spot nucleation moves forward into the acceleration region of the flow for increasing Reynolds number. Sumer et al. did not control the level of external disturbances in their experiments nor did they report any information on its characteristics, such as length scale or intensity.
+
+Almost parallel to the experiments by Sumer et al., Vittori and Blondeaux performed direct numerical simulations of this flow (Vittori & Blondeaux 2008, 2011). Their results correspond roughly to the findings by Sumer et al. in that the flow in their simulations is first observed to display a laminar regime before displaying regularly spaced vortex rollers and finally becoming turbulent. However, the Reynolds numbers at which these regime shifts occur are larger than those in the experiments by Sumer et al.. In particular, Vittori and Blondeaux observed the flow to be laminar until a Reynolds number somewhat lower than Re = 1000, after which the flow in their simulations displays regularly spaced vortex rollers. Transition to turbulence has been observed to occur for Reynolds numbers somewhat larger than Re = 1000. They triggered the flow regime changes by introducing a random disturbance of a specific magnitude in the computational domain before the arrival of the wave. Ozdemir et al. (2013) performed direct numerical simulations using the same approach as Vittori and Blondeaux, but varied the magnitude of the initial disturbance. As a result they found different flow regimes than what Sumer et al. and Vittori and Blondeaux had observed. In the simulations by O� zdemir et al. the
+

+

+
+flow stays laminar until Re = 400, then enters a regime they called 'disturbed laminar' for 400 < Re < 1500, where instabilities can be observed. For Re > 1500 regularly spaced vortex rollers appear in the deceleration region of the flow in their simulations giving rise to a K-type transition before turbulent break down, if the Reynolds number is large enough. A K-type transition is characterized by a spanwise instability giving rise to the development of -vortices arranged in an aligned fashion, cf. Herbert (1988). For very large Reynolds numbers ReSumer > 2400, O� zdemir et al. reported that the K-type transition is replaced by a transition which reminded them of a free stream layer type transition.
+
+Next to investigations based on direct numerical simulations and experiments, modal stability theories have been employed in the works by Blondeaux et al. (2012), Verschaeve & Pedersen (2014) and Sadek et al. (2015). Employing a quasi-static approach for the Orr-Sommerfeld equation, cf. (von Kerczek & Davis 1974), Blondeaux et al. found that this unsteady flow displayed unstable regions for all of their Reynolds number considered, even those deemed stable by direct numerical simulation.
+In order to explain the divergences in transitional Reynolds numbers obtained by direct numerical simulation and experiment, Verschaeve & Pedersen (2014) performed a stability analysis in the frame of reference moving with the wave, where the present boundary layer flow is steady. For steady flows, well-established stability methods can be used. By means of the parabolized stability equation, they showed that for all Reynolds numbers considered in their analysis, the boundary layer displays regions of growth of disturbances. As the flow goes to zero towards infinity, there exists a point on the axis of the moving coordinate where the perturbations reach a maximum amplification before decaying again for a given Reynolds number. Depending on the level of initial disturbances in the flow, this maximum amount of amplification is sufficient for triggering secondary instability, such as turbulent spots or -vortices, or not. This explains the diverging critical Reynolds numbers observed in direct numerical simulations and experiments for this boundary layer flow. A particular case in point, mentioned in Verschaeve & Pedersen (2014), is the experiment on the boundary layer under internal solitary waves by Carr & Davies (2006). Although, the amplitudes of the generated internal solitary waves in these experiments are relatively large compared to the thickness of the upper layer, the outer flow on the bottom is relatively well approximated by the first order solution of Benjamin (1966), cf. figure 12 in Carr & Davies (2006). In these experiments, the flow displays instabilities for Reynolds numbers much smaller than in the experiments by Sumer et al. (2010) or in the direct numerical simulations by Vittori & Blondeaux (2008) or Ozdemir et al. (2013). Verschaeve & Pedersen (2014) proposed, that due to the characteristic velocity of internal solitary waves being significantly smaller than that for surface solitary waves, they are expected to display instabilities much earlier for comparable levels of background noise.
+Sadek et al. (2015) performed a similar modal stability analysis as Verschaeve & Pedersen (2014) by marching Orr-Sommerfeld eigenmodes forward in time using the linearized and two-dimensional nonlinear Navier-Stokes equations. They observed that only for Reynolds numbers larger than Re = 90, Orr-Sommerfeld eigenmodes display growth and consequently defined this Reynolds number to be the critical Reynolds number where the flow changes from a stable to an unstable regime.
+
+The modal stability theories employed in Blondeaux et al. (2012), Verschaeve & Pedersen (2014) and Sadek et al. (2015) capture only parts of the picture. In all of these works, only two-dimensional disturbances are considered. In addition, the amplifications
+
+4
+
+J. C. G. Verschaeve et al.
+
+computed in Verschaeve & Pedersen (2014) and Sadek et al. (2015) describe only the so-called exponential growth of the most unstable eigenfunction of the Orr-Sommerfeld equation. As shown in Butler & Farrell (1992); Trefethen et al. (1993); Schmid & Henningson (2001); Schmid (2007), perturbations can undergo significant transient growth even when modal stability theories predict the flow system to be stable. Nonmodal theory formulates the stability problem as an optimization problem for the perturbation energy. In the present treatise, optimal perturbations are computed for the unsteady boundary layer flow under a solitary wave, complementing the modal analysis performed in (Blondeaux et al. 2012; Verschaeve & Pedersen 2014; Sadek et al. 2015). In particular, we shall investigate the following questions.
+
+In Sadek et al. (2015), a critical Reynolds number is found based on a modal analysis. However, as perturbations can display growth even for cases where modal analysis predicts stability, this question needs to be treated in the framework of energy methods (Joseph 1966). Using an energy bound derived in (Davis & von Kerczek 1973), we shall show that a critical Reynolds number ReA > 0 can be found, such that for all Reynolds numbers smaller than ReA, the flow is monotonically stable, meaning that all perturbations are damped for all times.
+
+Ozdemir et al. (2013) supposed that a by-pass transition starts to develop in their simulations for some cases, but could not explain why then suddenly two-dimensional perturbations emerge producing a K-type transition typical for growing Tollmien-Schlichting waves. In the present treatise, we shall show that nonmodal theory is able to describe this competition between streaks and two-dimensional perturbations (i.e. nonmodal TollmienSchlichting waves), which allows us to predict the onset of growth of streaks and twodimensional perturbations, their maximum amplification and the point in time when this maximum is reached. Furthermore, the dependence on the Reynolds number of the maximum amplification shall be investigated. The results obtained in the present treatise indicate why in the direct numerical simulations by Vittori & Blondeaux (2008, 2011) and Ozdemir et al. (2013), in all cases investigated, two dimensional perturbations lead to turbulent break-down, although one would expect, at least for some cases, turbulent break-down via three dimensional structures for a purely random seeding. On the other hand Sumer et al. (2010) observed the growth of two-dimensional structures only for a certain range of Reynolds numbers, before the appearance of turbulent spots. A K-type transition has not been observed in their experiments. Turbulent spots are in general attributed to the secondary instability of streamwise streaks, see for example (Andersson et al. 2001; Brandt et al. 2004). Though, the random break-down of Tollmien-Schlichting waves is also thought to produce turbulent spots, cf. (Shaikh & Gaster 1994; Gaster 2016). The present analysis is limited to the primary instability of streamwise streaks and nonmodal Tollmien-Schlichting waves. It gives, however, indications for a possible secondary instability mechanism of competing streaks and Tollmien-Schlichting waves.
+
+The present treatise is organized as follows. In the following section, section 2, we describe the flow system and present equations for energy bounds and the nonmodal governing equations. The solutions of these equations applied to the present flow are presented and discussed in section 3. In section 4, we shall relate the current findings to results obtained previously in the literature. The present treatise is concluded in section 5.

+
+2. Description of the problem
+2.1. Specification of base flow
+The outer flow of the present boundary layer is given by the celebrated first order solution for the inviscid horizontal velocity for solitary waves (Benjamin 1966; Fenton 1972). For a given point at the bottom, the outer flow can thus be written as in Sumer et al. (2010):
+
+Uouter(t) = U0sech2 (0t) .
+
+(2.1)
+
+In the limit of vanishing amplitude of the solitary wave, not only the nonlinearities in
+
+the inviscid solution become negligible, but they can also be neglected in the boundary
+
+layer equations. Following Liu & Orfila (2004), the horizontal component in the boundary
+
+layer Ubase can be written as
+
+Ubase = Uouter + ubl,
+
+(2.2)
+
+where ubl contains the rotational part of the velocity and ensures that the no-slip boundary condition is satisfied. Neglecting the nonlinearities, we obtain the following boundary
+
+layer equations for ubl (Liu et al. 2007; Park et al. 2014):
+
+ t
+
+ubl
+

+

+

+
+ubl
+
+ubl(0, t) = -Uouter(t)
+
+ubl(, t) = 0
+
+ubl(z, -) = 0
+
+(2.3)
+(2.4) (2.5) (2.6)
+
+Equation (2.3) is the linearized momentum equation. Equations (2.4) and (2.5) are the boundary conditions of the problem, with equation (2.4) representing the no-slip boundary condition and equation (2.5) representing the outer flow boundary condition. Equation (2.6) is the initial condition, which is advanced in time from -. The resulting base flow Ubase, equation (2.2), is valid on the entire time axis t  (-, ). The scaling used in equations (2.3-2.6) is given by 0 for the time,
+
+t = 0t,
+
+(2.7)
+
+by U0 for the velocity,

+
+where

+
+For the solution of equations (2.3-2.6), a Shen-Chebyshev discretization in wall normal
+
+direction is chosen, whereas the resulting system is integrated in time by means of a
+
+Runge-Kutta integrator, cf. reference (Shen 1995) and appendix A for details. Summing
+
+up, we consider solitary waves of small amplitudes for which formula (2.1) is a good
+
+approximation of the outer flow, such as the solitary wave experiments in Carr & Davies
+
+(2006, 2010); Liu et al. (2007) or the water channel experiments in Sumer et al. (2010)
+
+and Tanaka et al. (2011). As shown in Verschaeve & Pedersen (2014), for larger amplitude
+
+solitary waves the nonlinear effects are not negligible anymore and significant qualitative
+
+differences arise, making the present nonmodal approach not applicable anymore.

The profiles have been multiplied by 40. The value at z = 0 of the profiles shown corresponds to the point in time t, at which the profile has been taken. The horizontal velocity vanishes at z = 0 in order to satisfy the no-slip boundary condition.
+
+2.2. Stability analysis by means of an energy bound
+
+In the present treatise, we use the same definition for the Reynolds number as in Ozdemir et al. (2013). This Reynolds number Re is based on the Stokes length  and the characteristic velocity U0:
+
+Re 
+
+=
+
+U0 
+
+=
+
+U0
+
+2  0
+
+,
+
+(2.11)
+
+where  is the kinematic viscosity of the fluid. The Reynolds number ReSumer used in Sumer et al. (2010) is related to Re by the following formula:
+
+Re = 2ReSumer.
+
+(2.12)
+
+We introduce a perturbation velocity u = (u , v , w ) in the streamwise, spanwise and wall normal direction, defined by:
+
+u = (u , v , w ) = (uns, vns, wns) - (Ubase (z, t) , 0, 0) ,
+
+(2.13)
+
+Nonmodal stability analysis of the boundary layer under solitary waves
+
+7
+
+where (uns, vns, wns) satisfies the Navier-Stokes equations. The energy of the perturbation is given by:
+
+Ep
+
+=
+
+1 2
+
+u 2 + v 2 + w 2 dV,
+
+V
+
+(2.14)
+
+which is integrated over V = {(x, y, z) | z > 0}. For time dependent flows in infinite domains, Davis & von Kerczek (1973) derived a bound for the perturbation energy of the nonlinear Navier-Stokes equations:
+
+Ep(t) Ep,0
+
+t
+
+exp
+
+Re  2
+
+�(t ) dt ,
+
+t0
+
+where � is the largest eigenvalue of the following linear system:
+
+1 u Re 
+
+- Sbase(t) � u
+
+- p =
+
+1 2
+
+�u
+
+ � u = 0,
+
+(2.15)
+(2.16) (2.17)
+
+where the tensor Sbase is the rate of strain tensor given by the base flow, equation (2.2). We remark that Davis & von Kerczek (1973) appear to have overlooked a sign and a factor two in their equations. As the rate of strain tensor depends on time, the eigenvalue � is a function of t. If � < 0 for all times, then the flow is monotonically stable for this Reynolds number, meaning that all perturbations will decay for all times. This allows us to investigate, if there exists a Reynolds number ReA, at which � switches sign from negative to positive at some point in time. As the base flow is independent of x and y, we consider a single Fourier component of u :
+
+(u , v , w )(x, y, z, t) = (u, v, w)(z, t) exp i (x + y) .
+
+(2.18)
+
+This allows us to eliminate p from the equations (2.16-2.17), resulting into

+A Galerkin formulation for the system (2.19-2.20) is chosen based on Shen-Legendre polynomials for the biharmonic equation for the normal component w and Shen-Legendre polynomials for the Poisson equation for the normal vorticity , cf. reference (Shen 1994). Thereby, the Hermitian property of the system (2.19-2.20) is conserved in the discrete setting, guaranteeing purely real eigenvalues. Details of the implementation are given in appendix A.

+equations (2.23) and (2.24). Given an initial perturbation (w0, 0) at time t0, equations (2.23) and (2.24) can be integrated to obtain the temporal evolution of (w, ) for t > t0. Nonmodal theory formulates the stability problem as finding the initial condition (w0, 0) maximizing the perturbation energy E(t) of (w, ) at time t > t0. This perturbation energy E is the sum of two contributions, one from the wall normal component w and
+one from the normal vorticity component :

+(2.25)
+
+The optimization problem can then be formulated by maximizing E for a perturbation (w, ) satisfying (2.23) and (2.24) and having an initial energy E0. One way of solving this optimization problem is by means of the adjoint equation as in Luchini & Bottaro (2014). Another approach for finding the optimal perturbation, which is employed in the present treatise, consists in formulating the discrete problem first and computing the evolution matrix X(t, t0) of the system of ODEs, cf. references Trefethen et al. (1993); Schmid & Henningson (2001); Schmid (2007) for details. The energy E is then given in terms of X and the initial condition. Details of the implementation are given in appendix A. By computing E(t) one way or the other, we can compute the amplification G from time t0 to t of the optimal perturbation for wave numbers  and :

+
+In the following, we shall distinguish between three types of perturbations:
+
+� streamwise streaks. These are perturbations independent of the streamwise coordinate x. They can be computed by setting  = 0.
+� Two-dimensional perturbations. These perturbations are independent of the spanwise coordinate y and can be computed by setting  = 0. In this case, equations (2.23) and (2.24) are decoupled. These two-dimensional perturbations can be considered nonmodal Tollmien-Schlichting waves resulting from an optimization of the initial conditions of (2.23) and (2.24). Therefore, they display larger growth than modal Tollmien-Schlichting waves resulting from the Orr-Sommerfeld equation. This shall be presented more in detail in section 4.

+
+3. Results and discussion
+3.1. Monotonic stability
+In this section, we shall determine the critical Reynolds number ReA behind which perturbations display growth. To this aim, the energy criterion in Davis & von Kerczek (1973) shall be used. We solve equations (2.19) and (2.20) for a given pair of wave numbers (, ) and note the Reynolds number Re for which the largest eigenvalue � changes from minus to plus. At first, we compute the curves of critical Reynolds numbers Re() and Re() by setting  = 0 and  = 0, respectively. These curves are plotted in figure 2. As it turns out, all other cases, i.e.  = 0 and  = 0, have their critical Reynolds number lying in the region between these two curves. From figure 2, we can infer that the flow is monotonically stable for all Reynolds numbers Re smaller than ReA = 18. The physical significance of this critical Reynolds number is, however, limited. For example, the water depth of a surface solitary wave with amplitude ratio = 0.1 would be approximately 1 cm for this case. For these small water depths, other physical effects, such as capillary effects and not least the dissipative effect of the boundary layers on the solitary wave, are not negligible anymore. The solitary wave solution would thus not be valid in the first place. From figure 2, we observe that streamwise streaks will grow first. Two-dimensional perturbations, on the other hand, can only grow for flows with a Reynolds number larger than ReB = 38.
+
+3.2. Optimal perturbation
+3.2.1. Theoretical considerations
+Before turning to the computation of the amplification G, equation (2.26), we shall first consider a scaling argument, as in Gustavsson (1991); Schmid & Henningson (2001). For streamwise streaks ( = 0), equations (2.23) and (2.24) can be written as:
+

+
+where ~ is scaled by Re/2:
+
+~ = 2 (z, t). Re 
+
+(3.3)
+
+Equation (3.1) corresponds to slow viscous damping of w, as also the homogeneous part of equation (3.2) for ~. On the other hand the second term in (3.2) represents a forcing term which varies on the temporal scale of the outer flow. Therefore, streamwise streaks display
+
+temporal variations on the time scale of the outer flow. As for steady flows (Gustavsson
+
+1991; Schmid & Henningson 2001), the energy E is proportional to the square of the Reynolds number for the present unsteady flow:
+
+E  Re2.

+
+For large Reynolds numbers E will dominate. Therefore, the maximum amplification G for streamwise streaks is expected to behave as

+(3.5)
+
+This quadratic growth of streamwise streaks can be contrasted to the exponential growth of Ew for perturbations with  > 0, as we shall see in the following. To this aim, we use a decomposition (or integrating factor) as in the parabolized stabiltiy equation (Bertolotti et al. 1992) for the normal velocity component w:
+
+t
+w = w~(z, t) exp (t ) dt ,
+t0
+
+(3.6)
+
+where the imaginary part of  accounts for the oscillatory character of w and the real part of  is the growth rate of the perturbation. In order to define the shape function w~ univocally, all growth is restricted to . Somewhat different to (Bertolotti et al. 1992), we define the normalization condition on the entire kinetic energy E~ of the shape function

+
+The first term on the right hand side represents viscous dissipation and is always negative.
+The second term, however, can, depending on Ubase and w~, be positive or negative. Only when this term is positive and in magnitude larger than the viscous dissipation, growth of Ew can be observed. We observe that this term is multiplied by /(2 + 2), which for a given  is maximal for  = 0. This indicates that the possible growth rate for two-
+dimensional perturbations is larger than that for oblique perturbations when considering
+exponential growth in Ew and neglecting quadratic growth in E. We shall return to this point, when discussing the numerical results. For the decomposition in equation (3.6),

+
+(3.19)
+
+In this case (ie.  = 0), equations (2.23) and (2.24) are decoupled. As can be seen from equation (2.24), the normal vorticity  experiences only dampening. Growth can, therefore, only arise in the energy Ew associated to the normal velocity component w, equation (2.25). As mentioned above, the first term on the right hand side in equation (3.18) is always negative and represents the viscous dissipation stabilizing the flow. As the eigenvalues of S2D are given by DUbase/2 and -DUbase/2, the second term on the right hand side in equation (3.18) can, depending on w~, be positive or negative. All possible growth of two-dimensional perturbations is thus due to the second term where the velocity vector (u~, w~)T is being tilted by the rate of strain tensor S2D. Equation (3.18) is an illustrative formula for the Orr-mechanism. The growth mechanism itself is thus always inviscid. This holds for any two-dimensional perturbation, also those being the eigenfunctions of the Orr-Sommerfeld equation, the modal Tollmien-Schlichting waves, which are commonly thought of as slow viscous instabilities, cf. for example (Jimenez 2013) and (Brandt et al. 2004). Whether growth of two-dimensional perturbations is fast or slow is, as formula (3.18) suggests, primarily a property of the base flow profile Ubase. As we shall see below, velocity profiles having an inflection point allow for larger growth rates than profiles without.
+
+As the Reynolds number multiplies the second term in equation (3.18), we can conclude
+
+that for large Re, the maximum amplification of two-dimensional perturbations roughly behaves like:

+
+Re >> 1
+
+(3.20)
+
+where c is some constant. This exponential growth of the maximum amplification with
+
+the Reynolds number has also been observed for other flows displaying an adverse pres-
+
+sure gradient. For example, Biau (2016) observed that the maximum amplification of
+
+two-dimensional perturbations for Stokes' second problem grows exponentially with the
+
+Reynolds number.
+
+In the following, we shall see that the competition of the maximum amplification
+
+between the quadratic growth in Re of streamwise streaks, equation (3.5), and the exponential growth in Re of two-dimensional structures, equation (3.20), composes the
+
+Nonmodal stability analysis of the boundary layer under solitary waves
+

+
+essential primary instability mechanism of this flow.
+
+3.2.2. Numerical results
+The amplification G, equation (2.26), for the present flow problem depends on five
+parameters, the wavenumbers  and , the initial time t0, the time t and the Reynolds number Re. We start our numerical analysis by tracing the evolution of max, G for a given Reynolds number Re and a given initial time t0. In figure 3, we plot the temporal evolution of max, G for the Reynolds numbers Re = 141, 316, 447 and 1000 (ReSumer = 104, 5 � 104, 105, 5 � 105) and initial times t0 = -8, -6, . . . , 6. For the case Re = 141, cf. figure 3a, we observe that growth of perturbations is mainly restricted to the deceleration region of the flow, i.e. where t > 0. Only the optimal perturbation starting at t0 = -2 displays some growth before the arrival of the crest of the solitary wave. Among the
+initial conditions t0 chosen, the optimal perturbation with t0 = 0 displays the maximum amplification at tmax = 1.5 with G  20. This is due to the acceleration region of the flow (t < 0) having a damping effect on the perturbations starting before t = 0. On the
+other hand the perturbations starting at later times t0 2 already miss out a great deal of the destabilizing effect of the adverse pressure gradient. All curves display a maximum
+at some time. For some cases, this maximum lies outside of the plotting domain. For a
+slightly larger Reynolds number, cf. figure 3b with Re = 316, we observe a qualitatively similar behavior for the perturbations starting at t0 < 0 with the difference that growth of these perturbations sets in somewhat earlier in time than in the Re = 141 case and leads also to higher amplifications. However, the optimal perturbation starting at t0 = 0 behaves differently than the corresponding one for the Re = 141 case. At early times, i.e. for t 2, the evolution of this perturbation is similar to the Re = 141 case. The perturbation grows to a maximum G  100 at t  1.5, before decaying again, but, at time t  2, the amplification curve displays a kink and a sudden growth to G  2000 at
+time tmax = 8.2. A similar, however, less expressive kink is also visible in the curve for t0 = 2. Increasing the Reynolds number to Re = 447, cf. figure 3c, does not change the picture qualitatively. However, the maximum amplification of the optimal perturbation
+starting at t0 = 0 has increased by a factor of approximately thousand compared to the Re = 316 case. In comparison, the maximum of the optimal perturbation starting at t0 = -2 has only increase by a factor of approximately 1.25 when going from Re = 316 to Re = 447. This violent growth for the optimal perturbation starting at t0 is also visible for the Re = 1000 case, cf. figure 3d. However, for this case, even the curves of the perturbations starting at earlier times display a similar kink and sudden growth in
+the deceleration region.
+In figure 4, we show contour plots of the amplification G(, , t0 = 0, tmax, Re) at tmax = 1.5, 8.2, 9.9, 16.5 for the cases Re = 141, 316, 447, 1000, respectively. For the case Re = 141, cf. figure 4a, we find a single maximum lying on the -axis. On the other hand, the Re = 316 case is different, cf. figure 4b. Whereas all two-dimensional perturbations display decay at tmax = 1.5 for the Re = 141 case, the amplification of two-dimensional perturbations displays a peak at around  = 0.35 for the Re = 316 case. A second peak, lying on the  axis, is significantly smaller than the peak of two-
+dimensional perturbations on the -axis. Increasing the Reynolds number, cf. figures 4c
+and 4d, increases the magnitude of the peaks, with the peak on the -axis growing faster
+with Re than the peak on the -axis. This competition between streamwise streaks and two-dimensional structures is characteristic for flows with adverse pressure gradients and
+has also been observed for steady flows. The Falkner-Skan boundary layer with adverse
+pressure gradient displays contour levels similar to the present ones, cf. for example
+
+14
+
+J. C. G. Verschaeve et al.
+
+Levin & Henningson (2003, figure 10d) or Corbett & Bottaro (2000). Another example is the flow of three dimensional swept boundary layers investigated in Corbett & Bottaro (2001).
+
+The competition between streamwise streaks and two-dimensional perturbations can also be observed in the temporal evolution of the amplification of the optimal perturbation. In figure 5, we compare the temporal evolution of max G( = 0, , t0 = 0, t, Re = 316), max G(,  = 0, t0 = 0, t, Re = 316) and max, G(, , t0 = 0, t, Re = 316). For early times (0 < t 2) the streamwise streaks display a larger amplification than the two-dimensional perturbations, but at time t  2, the two-dimensional perturbations overtake the streaks. Maximizing over  and , chooses either perturbation displaying maximum amplification. The amplification of oblique perturbations seems to be most often smaller than that of streamwise streaks or two-dimensional perturbations. This allows us to trace the maximum amplification Gmax, equation (2.27), by considering only the amplification of the cases ( = 0, ) and (,  = 0) instead of maximizing over all possible wave numbers (, ). Growth of streamwise streaks is associated to the lift-up effect (Ellingsen & Palm 1975), whereas the growth of two-dimensional perturbations is associated to the Orr-mechanism (Jimenez 2013). We remark that other growth mechanisms exists, such as the Reynolds stress mechanism, cf. Butler & Farrell (1992), which can lead to the maximum amplification of streaks not being exactly on the  axis, but having a non-zero -component. However, as also shown for other flows (Butler & Farrell 1992), this -component is negligibly small and, therefore, not considered in the present treatise. In figure 6, the amplification of streamwise streaks and two-dimensional perturbations maximized over the initial time t0 and time t is plotted against the Reynolds number. As predicted in section 3.1 by the energy bound of Davis & von Kerczek (1973), streamwise streaks start to grow for Reynolds numbers larger than ReA = 18, whereas two-dimensional perturbations start growing for ReB > 38. We can define a third critical Reynolds number ReC = 170 for this flow, which stands for the value when the maximum amplification of two-dimensional perturbations overtakes the maximum amplification of streamwise streaks. This happens for rather low levels of amplification, the maximum amplification being Gmax = 28 for Re = 170. As in Biau (2016) for Stokes second problem, the amplification of two-dimensional perturbations is observed to be exponential. For flows with a Reynolds number larger than ReC, which are most relevant cases, the dominant perturbations are therefore likely to be two-dimensional (up to secondary instability). This supports the observation by Vittori & Blondeaux (2008) and Ozdemir et al. (2013) of a transition process via the development of two-dimensional vortex rollers. However, when starting early, i.e. for initial times t0 < -1, streamwise streaks start growing before two-dimensional structures, as can be seen in figure 3d. The competition between streamwise streaks and two-dimensional structures to first reach secondary instability, might therefore not only be determined by the maximum amplification reached, but also by the point in time, when the amplification of the perturbation is sufficient to trigger secondary instability, be it streaks or two-dimensional perturbations. We shall discuss this point further in section 4.
+
+When plotting the maximum amplification of streamwise streaks in a log-log plot, cf. figure 7, we find the expected quadratic behavior of the maximum amplification. In line with this quadratic growth in Re, a straightforward calculation, cf. appendix B, shows that when normalizing the energy E = Ew + E, equation (2.25) of the initial condition of the optimal streamwise streak to one, the amplitude of the initial normal vorticity scales inversely with the Reynolds number, whereas the amplitude of the normal velocity

+
+(3.21)
+
+This can also be observed in figure 8, where we show that for larger Reynolds numbers, the graphs of || � Re and |w| collapse. In order to visualize the spatial structure of the optimal streamwise streak, we consider the case Re = 500 with a maximum amplification of:
+
+max G( = 0, , t0, t, Re = 500) = 238.6,
+ ,t0 ,t
+where the parameters at maximum are given by:
+
+(3.22)
+
+ = 0.64, t0 = 0.11, t = 1.53.
+
+(3.23)
+
+In figure 9, contour plots of the real part of the initial condition at t0 = 0.11 of the optimal perturbation in the (y, z)-plane is shown. When advancing this initial condition to t = 1.53, where the energy of the streamwise streak is maximum, cf. figure 10, we observe that the amplitude of the normal velocity component w has decreased by approximately a factor of two, whereas the amplitude of the normal vorticity  increased by approximately a factor of five hundred.
+
+For two-dimensional perturbations, on the other hand, the energy is distributed between the normal component w and the horizontal component u = iDw/. As can be observed from figure 11, for increasing Reynolds number the amplitude of w decreases. Following, its share of the initial energy goes down as well. Since the initial energy is normalized to one, this implies that the energy contribution associated to u must increase. Corresponding to this energy increase, we observe that the amplitude of u increases for increasing Reynolds number, cf. figure 12. We choose the case Re = 1000 in order to visualize the spatial structure of the optimal two-dimensional perturbation. For this case the maximum amplification is given by:

+where the parameters at maximum are given by:
+

+
+(3.25)
+
+In figure 13, contour plots in the (x, z)-plane of the real part of w � exp ix at initial time t0 and at time t when it reaches maximal amplification are plotted. Initially, the perturbation is confined to a thin layer inside the boundary layer. While reaching its maximum amplification its spatial structure grows in wall normal direction.
+
+4. Relation to previous results in the literature
+A question which suggests itself immediately, is the relation between the present nonmodal stability analysis and the modal stability analyses performed previously in Blondeaux et al. (2012), Verschaeve & Pedersen (2014) and Sadek et al. (2015). Naturally, the amplifications of the optimal perturbations are expected to be larger than the corresponding ones of the modal Tollmien-Schlichting waves. This can be seen in figure 14, where we have solved the Orr-Sommerfeld equation for the present problem in a quasistatic fashion for the wave number  = 0.35 and Reynolds numbers Re = 141 and Re = 447. The amplification of the optimal perturbation can be several orders of magnitude larger than that of the corresponding modal Tollmien-Schlichting wave. On the

+other hand the main conclusions by Verschaeve & Pedersen (2014) are still supported by the present analysis. Although attempted by several experimental and direct numerical studies (Vittori & Blondeaux 2008; Sumer et al. 2010; Ozdemir et al. 2013), a well defined transitional Reynolds number cannot be given for this flow. As also pointed out in the present analysis, depending on the characteristics of the external perturbations, such as length scale and intensity, the flow might transition to turbulence for different Reynolds numbers. Without control of the external perturbations, any experiment on the stability properties of this flow will hardly be repeatable. On the other hand, as we have shown above, a critical Reynolds number ReA can be defined for which the present flow switches from a monotonically stable to a non-monotonically stable flow. This critical Reynolds number has, however, little practical bearing.
+Concerning the direct numerical simulations by Vittori & Blondeaux (2008, 2011) and Ozdemir et al. (2013), the present study gives an indication for the transition process happening via two-dimensional vortex rollers observed in their direct numerical simulations. In addition, we are able to answer the question raised by Ozdemir et al. (2013) about the possible mechanism of a by-pass transition. However, quantitative differences between the direct numerical results by Ozdemir et al. (2013) and the present ones exist. Ozdemir et al. (2013) introduced a random disturbance at t0 = - with different amplitudes in their simulations and monitored the evolution of the amplitude of these disturbances, cf. figure 10 in Ozdemir et al. (2013). From this figure, we see the characteristic kink of two-dimensional perturbations overtaking streamwise streaks appearing

+
+in their simulations only for Re = 2000 and higher. If we compare this to the optimal perturbations with initial times t0 = -4 and t0 = -2 in figure 3, we see this kink developing already for a much lower Reynolds number, namely Re = 1000, cf. figure 3d. The reasons for this discrepancy are unclear. Although Ozdemir et al. (2013) employed perturbation amplitudes with values up to 20 % of the base flow, which might trigger nonlinear effects, the acceleration region of the flow has a strong damping effect, such that the initial perturbation growth starting in the deceleration region is most likely governed by linear effects. We might, however, point out that, in order for a Navier-Stokes solver to capture the growth of two-dimensional perturbations correctly an extremely fine resolution in space and time is needed, as can be seen in Verschaeve & Pedersen (2014, Appendix A) for modal Tollmien-Schlichting waves. In particular, when the resolution requirements are not met, these perturbations tend to be damped instead of amplified. In this respect, it is interesting to note, that Vittori & Blondeaux (2008, 2011) found that regular vortex tubes appeared in their simulation for a Reynolds number around Re = 1000 (ReSumer = 5 � 105), which corresponds relatively well with the present findings. However, it cannot be excluded that this is for the wrong reason, as a larger level of background noise resulting from, for example the numerical approximation error by their low order solver, might be present in their simulations.
+The Reynolds number in the experiments by Liu et al. (2007) lies in the range Re = 72 - 143 which is larger than ReA = 18. However, as can be seen from figure 3, the maximum amplification for these cases is around a factor of 30. Therefore, without any induced disturbance, growth of streamwise streaks from background noise is probably not

Assuming that the initial level of external perturbations in the experiments is higher than in the direct numerical simulations, the observation by Sumer et al. fits the present picture. However, for Re > 1000, they observed the development of turbulent spots in

+
+the deceleration region of the flow. This is in contrast to the results by Ozdemir et al. (2013) of a K-type transition. The present analysis supports the finding of a transition process via the growth of two-dimensional perturbations. However, whether these nonmodal Tollmien-Schlichting waves break down via a K-type transition as in Ozdemir et al. (2013) or whether they break up randomly producing turbulent spots (Shaikh & Gaster 1994; Gaster 2016) is difficult to say from this primary instability analysis. In addition, more information on the initial disturbances in the experiments is needed to make any conclusions. Whereas random noise is applied in Vittori & Blondeaux (2008, 2011) and Ozdemir et al. (2013), the initial disturbance in Sumer et al. (2010) might stem from residual motion in their facility, exhibiting probably certain characteristics. Depending on these characteristics, other perturbations than the one showing optimal amplification, might induce secondary instability. In addition, it cannot be excluded that a completely different instability mechanism is at work in the experiments of Sumer

The focus in the present analysis is on the response to initial conditions and does not take into account any response to external forcing, which would be modeled by adding a source term to the equations (2.23) and (2.24). It is possible that the present flow system displays some sensitivity to certain frequencies of vibrations present in the experimental set-up altering the behavior of the system for larger Reynolds numbers. In particular, different perturbations, such as streamwise streaks, might be favored, leaving

+
+5. Conclusions
+In the present treatise, a nonmodal stability analysis of the bottom boundary layer flow under solitary waves is performed. Two competing mechanism can be identified: Growing streamwise streaks and growing two-dimensional perturbations (nonmodal TollmienSchlichting waves). By means of an energy bound, it is shown that the present flow is
+
+24
+
+J. C. G. Verschaeve et al.
+
+monotonically stable for Reynolds numbers below Re = 18 after which it turns nonmonotonically stable, with streamwise streaks growing first. Two-dimensional perturbations display growth only for Reynolds numbers larger than Re = 38. However, their maximum amplification overtakes that of streamwise streaks at Re = 170. As for steady flows, the maximum amplification of streamwise streaks displays quadratic growth with Re for the present unsteady flow. On the other hand, the maximum amplification of twodimensional perturbations shows a near exponential growth with the Reynolds number in the deceleration region of the flow. Therefore, during primary instability, the dominant perturbations in the deceleration region of this flow are to be expected two-dimensional. This corresponds to the findings in the direct numerical simulations by Vittori & Blondeaux (2008) and Ozdemir et al. (2013) and in the experiments by Sumer et al. (2010) of growing two-dimensional vortex rollers in the deceleration region of the flow. However, further investigation of the secondary instability mechanism and of receptivity to external (statistical) forcing is needed in order to explain the subsequent break-down to turbulence in the boundary layer.
+The boundary layer under solitary waves is a relatively simple model for a boundary layer flow with a favorable and an adverse pressure gradient. But just for this reason it allows to analyze stability mechanisms being otherwise shrouded in more complicated flows.
+The implementation of the numerical method has been done using the open source libraries Armadillo (Sanderson & Curtin 2016), FFTW (Frigo & Johnson 2005) and GSL (Galassi et al. 2009). At this occasion, the first author would like to thank Caroline Lie for pointing out a mistake in Verschaeve & Pedersen (2014). In figures 20,22,24 and 26 in Verschaeve & Pedersen (2014), the frequency  is incorrectly scaled. However, this does not affect any of the conclusions of the article. The first author apologizes for any inconvenience this might represent.

+cated at h, where h is chosen large enough by numerical inspection. The basis functions
+j and j are linear combinations of Legendre polynomials, such that a total number of N Legendre polynomials is used for each expansion in (A 1). The basis functions j satisfy the homogeneous Dirichlet conditions, whereas j honors the clamped boundary conditions. A Galerkin formulation is then chosen for the discrete system:

Therefore, the system (A 8) can be efficiently advanced in time, allowing us to compute the evolution matrix X(t, t0) for a wide range of parameters. The amplification G, equation (2.26), for the discrete case can then be computed as suggested in Trefethen et al. (1993); Schmid & Henningson (2001); Schmid (2007). We write

+
+q(t) = X(t, t0)q0,

+
+where q0 is the initial condition at t0. From this it follows that X(t0, t0) reduces to the identity matrix. The amplification G can then be computed by

+
+where the matrix norm FXF-1 is given by the maximum singular value of FXF-1, cf. Trefethen et al. (1993); Schmid & Henningson (2001); Schmid (2007).
+
+The present method consists of two steps. First, the evolution matrix X needs to be computed by solving equation (A 8) with the identity matrix as initial condition at time t0. Then the amplification G can be computed using X. In order to verify the well functioning of the present time integration, the following manufactured solution has been used:
+w = cos(1t) sin2(5z)  = cos(2t) sin(3z) Ubase = cos(3t) (1 - exp (-2z)) . (A 30)
+A forcing term is defined by the resulting term, when injecting the above solution into equations (2.23) and (2.24). Equations (A 8) are advanced by means of the adaptive Runge-Kutta-Cash-Karp-54 time integrator included in the boost library. The absolute and relative error of the time integration are set to 10-10. For verification, we use the above manufactured solution with the following parameter values:
+Re = 123  = 0.3  = 0.234 h = 1 1 = 1.234 2 = 1.123 3 = 0.4567 t0 = 0, (A 31)
+and compare reference and numerical solution by computing a mean error on the Chebyshev knots. The behavior of the error for increasing N is displayed in figure 15. We observe that the error displays exponential convergence until approximately 10-9, when the error contribution due to the time integration becomes dominant. In addition, the analytic solution of the energy of this problem can be used to verify parts of the amplification computation (results not shown).
+
+For validation purposes, the case of transient growth for Poiseuille flow with a Reynolds number Re = 1000 and  = 1 in Schmid (2007) has been computed by means of the present method for N = 65. As can be seen from figure 16, the results by the present
+
+28
+
+J. C. G. Verschaeve et al.
+
+method correspond well to the data digitized from figure 3 in Schmid (2007).
+
+Furthermore, the validation with an unsteady base flow is performed by means of Stokes second problem whose base flow is given by
+
+Ubase = exp(-z) cos
+
+2 t-z Re 
+
+.
+
+(A 32)
+
+The results in Luo & Wu (2010) define a test case for the present method. In Luo & Wu (2010), the temporal evolution of eigenmodes of the Orr-Sommerfeld equation for t0 = 0 is investigated. They consider three cases defined by Re = 1560, 1562.8 and 1566 and  = 0.3 and  = 0. As initial condition, the eigenmodes corresponding to the following eigenvalues OSE for each Re are used:
+
+Re 
+
+OSE
+
+1560
+
+-0.004847 - 0.196045i
+
+1562.8 -0.00482994 - 0.196076i
+
+1566 -0.00481052 - 0.196111i
+
+As a main result from the investigation in Luo & Wu (2010), the maximum amplitude of
+
+the perturbation for Re = 1560 decreases from cycle to cycle, whereas for Re = 1562.8 the maximum amplitude displays almost no growth from cycle to cycle. However, for
+
+Re = 1566, the maximum amplitude increases from cycle to cycle. This can also be observed when using the present method, cf. figure 17, where we have used N = 97. The
+
+amplitude is in our case defined by the ratio between the perturbation energy at time
+
+t and at time t0 = 0. Luo & Wu (2010) defined the amplitude differently, namely by the first coefficient of the expansion of the perturbation on all Orr-Sommerfeld modes.
+
+Therefore, the exact numerical values in figure 17 and in figure 7 in Luo & Wu (2010) are
+
+not comparable. When comparing the growth rate  of the present perturbation, given
+
+by:
+
+
+
+=
+
+1 E
+
+dE dt
+
+(A 33)
+
+with the growth rate given by the real part of the eigenvalue resulting from the Orr-
+
+Sommerfeld equation for the case Re = 1566, we confirm the observation by (Luo & Wu 2010, figure 10) that during one cycle the growth rate is relatively well approximated by
+
+the Orr-Sommerfeld solution. In addition, the growth rate taken from figure 10 in Luo
+
+& Wu (2010) by digitization follows closely the present one, even if the definition of the
+
+amplitude is a different one, cf. figure 18.
+
+Returning to the present flow, we shall consider the case
+
+Re = 1000  = 0.6  = 0.14 h = 30 t0 = 0 t = 6,
+
+(A 34)
+
+for determining the discretization parameters. Before solving the nonmodal equations (A 8), the base flow solution needs to be generated. This is done by numerically solving the boundary layer equations (2.3-2.6), applying the same discretization techniques as for the nonmodal equations (2.23-2.24). The present boundary layer solver has been verified by comparison to the solution obtained by means of the integral formula in Liu et al. (2007). An important ingredient in the numerical solution of the boundary layer equations (2.3-2.6) is the choice of a finite value t- for imposing the boundary condition (2.5). As the outer flow dies off exponentially towards t  �, we choose t- = -8 and t- = -12 as starting point. For these values the magnitude of the outer flow amounts to

+

+ALMOST PROJECTIVE AND ALMOST INJECTIVE MODULES
+ABYZOV A. N.
+Abstract. We describe rings over which every right module is almost injective. We give a description of rings over which every simple module is a almost projective.
+Let M, N be right R-modules. A module M is called almost N- injective, if for any submodule N  of N and any homomorphism f : N   M, either there exists a homomorphism g : N  M such that f = g or there exists a nonzero idempotent   EndR(N) and a homomorphism h : M  (N) such that hf = , where  : N  N is the natural embedding. A module M is called almost injective if it is almost N-injective for every right R-module N. Dually, we define the concept of almost projective modules. A module M is called almost N-projective, if for any natural homomorphism g : N  N/K and any homomorphism f : M  N/K, either there exists a homomorphism h : M  N such that f = gh or there exists a non-zero direct summand N  of N and a homomorphism h : N   M such that g = f h, where  : N   N is the natural embedding. A module M is called almost projective if it is almost N-projective for every right R-module N.
+The concepts of almost injective module and almost projective module were studied in the works [1]-[7] by Harada and his colleagues. Note that, in [7] an almost projective right R-module is defined as a module which is almost Nprojective to every finitely generated right R-module N. In recent years, almost injective modules were considered in [8]-[12]. The problem of the description of the rings over which all modules are almost injective was studied in [10]. In some special cases, this problem was solved in [10]. In particular, in the case of semiperfect rings. In this article, we study the structure of the rings over which every module is almost injective, in general. We also give the characterization of

+the module M such that every simple module is almost projective (respectively, almost injective) in the category (M).
+Let M, N be right R-modules. We denote by (M) the full subcategory of Mod-R whose objects are all R-modules subgenerated by M. If N  (M) then the injective hull of the module N in (M) will be denoted by EM (N). The Jacobson radical of the module M is denoted by J(M).
+The Loewy series of a module M is the ascending chain of submodules
+0 = Soc0(M )  Soc1(M ) = Soc(M )  . . .  Soc(M )  Soc+1(M )  . . .,
+where Soc+1(M)/ Soc(M) = Soc(M/ Soc(M)) for all ordinal numbers  and Soc(M) = Soc(M) for a limit ordinal number . Denote by L(M) the sub-
+<
+module Soc(M), where  is the smallest ordinal such that Soc(M) = Soc+1(M). The module M is semiartinian if and only if M = L(M). In this case  is called the Loewy length of module M and is denoted by Loewy(M). The ring R is called right semiartinian if the module RR is semiartinian.
+The present paper uses standard concepts and notations of ring theory (see, for example [13]-[15] ).
+
+1. Almost projective modules
+A module M is called an I0-module if every its nonsmall submodule contains nonzero direct summand of the module M.
+Theorem 1.1. For a module M, the following assertions are equivalent:
+1) Every simple module in the category (M) is almost projective. 2) Every module in the category (M) is either a semisimple module or con-
+tains a nonzero M-injective submodule. 3) Every module in the category (M) is an I0-module.
+Proof. 1)2) Let xR  (M) be a non-semisimple cyclic module. Then the module xR contains an essential maximal submodule N. Let f : EM (xR)  EM (xR)/N be the natural homomorphism and  : xR/N  EM (xR)/N be the embedding. Assume that there exists a homomorphism g : xR/N  EM (xR) such that f g = . Since g(xR/N )  f -1(xR/N ) = xR and N is an essential submodule of xR, then g(xR/N)  N. Consequently f g = 0, which is impossible. Since the module xR/N is almost projective, for some nonzero direct summand N  of EM (xR) and homomorphism h : N   xR/N we get h = f , where  : N   EM (xR) is the embedding. Consequently f (N )  xR/N, i.e. N   f -1(xR/N ) = xR.
+2)3) The implication follows from [16, Theorem 3.4].

+3)1) Let S be a simple right R-module, f : A  B be an epimorphism right R-modules and g : S  B be a homomorphism. Without loss of generality, assume that g = 0. If Ker(f ) is not an essential submodule of f -1(g(S)), then there exists a simple submodule S of f -1(g(S)) such that f (S) = g(S). In this case, obviously, there is a homomorphism h : S  A such that f h = g. Assume Ker(f ) is an essential submodule of f -1(g(S)). Then f -1(g(S)) is a non-semisimple module and by [16, Theorem 3.4], f -1(g(S)) contains a nonzero injective submodule A. There exists a homomorphism g : g(S)  S such that gg(s) = s for all s  g(S). Then g(gf|A) = f , where  : A  A is the embedding and f|A : A  g(S) is the restriction of the homomorphism f to A.
+Corollary 1.1. Every right R-module is an I0-module if and only if every simple right R-module is almost projective.
+A right R-module M is called a V -module (or cosemisimple) if every proper submodule of M is an intersection of maximal submodules of M. A ring R is called a right V -ring if RR is a V -module. It is known that a right R-module M is a V -module if and only if every simple right R-module is M-injective. A ring R is called a right SV -ring if R is a right semiartinian right V -ring.
+Theorem 1.2. For a regular ring R, the following assertions are equivalent:
+1) Every right R-module is an I0-module. 2) R is a right SV -ring. 3) Every right R-module is almost projective. 4) Every simple right R-module is almost projective.
+Proof. The equivalence 1)2) follows from [16, theorem 3.7]. The implication 3)4) is obvious. The implication 4)1) follows from Theorem 1.1.
+2)3) Let S be a simple right R-module. We claim that the module S is almost projective. Let f : A  B be an epimorphism right R-modules and g : S  B be a homomorphism. Without loss of generality, assume that Ker(f ) = 0. Then Ker(f ) contains a simple injective submodule S and for the homomorphism h = 0  Hom(S, S) we get f  = gh, where  : S  A is the natural embedding.
+A ring R is called a I-finite (or orthogonally finite) if it does not contain an infinite set of orthogonal nonzero idempotents.
+Theorem 1.3. For a I-finite ring R, the following assertions are equivalent:
+1) Every right R-module is almost projective. 2) Every simple right R-module is almost projective. 3) R is an artinian serial ring and J2(R) = 0.

+
+Proof. The implicatio 1)2) is obvious.
+2)3) By Theorem 1.1 and [14, 13.58], R is a semiperfect ring. Then by [16, Theorem 3.2], R is an artinian serial ring and J2(R) = 0.
+3)1) Let M be a right R-module. We claim that the module M is almost
+projective. Let f : A  B be an epimorphism of right R-modules and g : M  B be a homomorphism. If f -1(g(M)) is a semisimple module, then it is obvious that there is a homomorphism h such that g = f h. Assume f -1(g(M)) is a non-semisimple module. Then the module f -1(g(M)) contains an injective and
+projective local submodule L of length two. Since L is a projective module, then there is a homomorphism h : L  g-1(f (L)) such that f  = g|g-1(f(L))h, where  : L  A is the natural embedding.
+
+2. Almost V -modules
+A right R-module M is called an almost V -module if every simple right Rmodule is almost N-injective for every module N  (M). A ring R is called a right almost V -ring if every simple right R-module is almost injective. Right almost V -rings have been studied in [11].
+Lemma 2.1. For a module M, the following assertions are equivalent:
+1) M is not a V -module. 2) There exists a submodule N of the module M such that the factor mod-
+ule M/N is an uniform, Soc(M/N) is a simple module and M/N = S oc(M/N ).
+Proof. The implicatio 2)1) is obvious. 1)2) Since M is not a V -module, there is a submodule M0 such that J(M/M0) =
+0. Without loss of generality, assume that J(M/M0) contains a simple submodule S. Let S be a complement of submodule S in M/M0. Then (M/M0)/S is an uniform module, Soc((M/M0)/S) is a simple module and (M/M0)/S = Soc((M/M0)/S).
+Proposition 2.1. Let M be an almost V -module. Then:
+1) The Jacobson radical J(N) of every module N  (M) is semisimple. 2) The factor module N/J(N) of every module N  (M) is a V -module. 3) The injective hull EM (S) of every simple module S  (M) is either a
+simple module or a local M-projective module of length two.
+Proof. 1) Assume that in the category (M) there exists a module whose Jacobson radical is not semisimple. Then there exists a module N  (M) and a
+

+

+
+non-zero element x  J(N) such that the module xR contains an essential max-
+imal submodule A. Let B be a complement of submodule A in N. Consider the
+homomorphism f : xR  B  xR/A is defined by f (xr + b) = xr + A, where
+r  R, b  B. Assume that there exists a homomorphism g : N  xR/A such
+that g = f, where  : xR  B  E is the natural embedding. Since x  J(N),
+g(x) = 0. On the other hand, f (x) = 0. This is a contradiction. If there is a
+nonzero idempotent   EndR(N) and a homomorphism h : xR/A  (N) such that  = hf, then hf ((N)  (A  B)) = 0 and ((N)  (A  B)) = 0 for a
+nonzero submodule (N)  (A  B), that is impossible. Thus a Jacobson radical
+J(N) of every module N  (M) is semisimple.
+2) Let N  (M) be a module and S  (M) be a simple module, N0 be a submodule of N  = N/J(N ) and f : N0  S be a homomorphism. We show that there exists a homomorphism g such that f = g, where  : N0  N  is the natural embedding. Without loss of generality, assume that N0 is essential in N  and f = 0. Assume Ker(f ) is an essential submodule of N0. If there exists a nonzero idempotent   EndR(N ) and a homomorphism h : S  (N ) such that  = hf, then hf ((N )  Ker(f )) = 0 and ((N )  Ker(f )) = 0 for a nonzero submodule (N)Ker(f ), that is impossible. Thus there exists a homomorphism
+g such that f = g. Assume Ker(f ) is not an essential submodule of N0. Then there exists a simple module S such that N0 = Ker(f )  S. Assume that there exists a non-zero idempotent   EndR(N ) and a homomorphism h : S  (N ) such that  = hf. Since Ker(f )  S is essential in N , Ker(f )  (1 - )N  and (1 - )N   (S) = (1 - )N   S, then (S) is essential in (N ). Since J(N ) = 0, we get (S) = (N ), and consequently N  = (1 - )N   S. Then there exists a g : (1-)N  S  S homomorphism is defined by g(n+s) = f (s), where n  (1 - )N , s  S such that f = g. Hence N  is a V -module.
+3) Let S  (M) be a simple module and EM (S) = S. By 2), J(EM (S)) = S. Let A1, A2 be maximal submodules of EM (S). From the proof of [17, 13.1(a)], we see that EndR(A1), EndR(A2) are local rings. Assume that A = Ai  Aj is a CSmodule, where i, j  {1, 2}. Let B is a closed submodule of A and A = B. Then B is complement of some simple submodule S in A. Consider the homomorphism f : S  B  S is defined by the formula f (s + b) = s, where s  S, b  B. Since S  J(A) and S is an almost A-injective module, there is a non-zero idempotent
+  EndR(A) and a homomorphism g  HomR(S, (A)) such that gf = , where  : S  B  A is the natural embedding. It's clear that B  (1 - )A and
+S (1 -)A = 0. Consequently B = (1 -)A. Thus A is a CS-module. From [17,
+7.3(ii)] and the fact that every monomorphism  : Ai  Aj is an isomorphism we deduce that Ai is an Aj-injective module. If A1 = A2 then by [15, 16.2], A1 is an
+
+6
+

+
+A1 + A2-injective, which is impossible. Thus the module EM (S) has an unique maximal submodule, and consequently EM (S) is a local module of length two. We claim that EM (S) is projective in the category (M). Let N be a submodule of EM (S)M such that N +M = EM (S)M and  : EM (S)M  EM (S) be the natural projection. Assume that J(N)  N  M. Since N/J(N) is a V -module, (N) = EM (S) is a V -module, which is impossible. Thus there exists a simple submodule S of J(N ) such that SM = 0. Let A be a complement of submodule S in N such that M  N  A. Consider the homomorphism f : S  A  S is defined by f (s + a) = s, where s  S, a  A. Since S  J(N ) and S is an almost N -injective module, there is a non-zero idempotent   EndR(N ) and a homomorphism g  HomR(S, (N )) such that gf = , where  : S  A  N is the natural embedding. Since A  (1 - )(N ), S  J(N ) and A  S is an essential submodule of N, we deduce that (S) is essential in (N ) and (S) = (N ). Since
+(N )  A = (N )  N  M = (N )  M = 0
+and lg(EM (S)) = lg((N )) = 2, we have ((N )) = EM (S). Then (N ) M = EM (S)  M. By [15, 41.14], the module EM (S) is projective in the category (M ).
+
+Theorem 2.1. For a module M, the following assertions are equivalent:
+1) M is an almost V -module. 2) Every module in the category (M) is either a V -module or contains a
+nonzero direct summand which is a projective object in the category (M). 3) There exist an independent set of local submodules {Ai}iI of the module
+M such that: a) Ai is both an M-injective and an M-projective module of length two for all i  I; b) J(M ) = iI J(Ai); c) M/J(M) is a V -module.
+
+Proof. 1)2) Let N be a module in the category (M) which is not a V -module. Then by Lemma 2.1 and Proposition 2.1, there is a submodule N of N such that the factor module N/N is nonzero and projective in the category (M). Consequently the natural epimorphism f : N  N/N splits and the module N
+contains a nonzero direct summand which is a projective in the category (M).
+2)1) Let M be a right R-module and S be a simple right R-module. We
+claim that S is an almost M-injective module. Let M0 be a submodule of M and f : M0  S be a homomorphism. Without loss of generality, assume that f = 0,
+

+
+M0 is an essential submodule of M and EM (S) = S. There is a homomorphism g : M  EM (S) such that g = f, where  : M0  M and  : S  EM (S) the natural embeddings. Assume that S = g(M). Then by the condition 2), g(M) is a projective module. Consequently M = Ker(g)  M. Since M0 is an essential submodule of M, then M0  M  is a simple module and f|M0M : M0  M   S is an isomorphism. Then M0 = (M0  M)  Ker(f ). Let  : Ker(g)  M  M be the natural projection. Then  = f|-M10Mf.
+1)3) By Zorn's Lemma, there is a maximal independent set of submodules {Ai}iI of the module M such that Ai is a local module of length two for all i  I. According to Proposition 2.1, M/J(M) is a V -module and Ai is both an M-injective and an M-projective module for all i  I. Assume that J(M) = iIJ(Ai). Then by the condition 1), there is a simple submodule S of M such that S  J(M) and S  iI J(Ai) = 0. Let S be a complement of submodule S in M such that it contains iI J(Ai). Then M/S is not a simple module, which is an essential extension of the simple module (S + S)/S. By Proposition 2.1, M/S is an M-projective module of length two. Consequently, there is a local submodule of length two L of M such that M = L  S. This contradicts with the choice of the set {Ai}iI . Thus J(M ) = iI J(Ai).
+3)2) Let S  (M) be a simple module and EM (S) = S. By [15, 16.3], there exists an epimorphism f : iIMi  EM (S), where Mi = M for all i  I. Since EM (S) is not a V -module, by [15, 23.4], f i(J(M)) = 0 for some i  I, where i : Mi  iIMi is a natural embedding. Then, by the conditions a) and b) of 3), EM (S) = Ai for some i  I. Thus every essential extension of a simple module in the category (M) is either a simple or a local M-projective module
+of length two. Then the implication follows directly from Lemma 2.1.
+Corollary 2.1. For a ring R, the following assertions are equivalent:
+1) R is a right almost V -ring. 2) Each right R-module is either a V -module or contains a nonzero direct
+summand which is a projective module. 3) There exist a set of orthogonal idempotents {ei}iI of the ring R such that:
+a) eiR is a local injective right R-module of length two for every i  I; b) J(P ) = iI J(eiR); c) R/J(R) is a right V -ring.
+Theorem 2.2. For a right noetherian ring R, the following assertions are equiv-
+alent:
+1) Every right R-module is a direct sum of an injective module and a V -
+module.
+
+8
+
+ABYZOV A. N.
+
+2) Every right R-moduleis a direct sum of a projective module and a V module.
+3) R is a right almost V -ring.
+
+Proof. 3)1), 2) By Zorn's Lemma, there is a maximal independent set of local submodules of length two {Li}iI of the module M. Since R is a right noetherian ring, by [13, 6.5.1], there exists a submodule N of M such that M = iILi  N. By Proposition 2.1 3), iI Li is both injective and projective. We claim that N is a V -module. Assume that N is not a V -module. Then by the Proposition 2.1 3) and Lemma 2.1, there exists a factor module N/N0 of N which is a local projective module of length two. Consequently, the module N/N0 is isomorphic to a submodule of N, which contradicts the choice of the set {Li}iI. Thus N is a V -module.
+2)3) Let S be a right simple module. Assume that E(S) = S. By the condition 2), E(S) is a projective module and by [13, 7.2.8], EndR(E(S)) is a local ring. Then by [13, 11.4.1], E(S) is a local module. If J(E(S)) is not a simple module, then by the condition 2), the module E(S)/S is projective, and consequently S is a direct summand of E(S), which is impossible. Thus the injective hull of a every simple right R-module is either a simple or a projective module of length two. Consequently R is a right almost V -ring by [11, Theorem
+3.1]. 1)3) Since RR is a noetherian module then by the condition 1), RR = M N,
+where M is a finite direct sum of uniform injective modules and N is a V -module. By [13, 7.2.8, 11.4.1], M = L1  . . .  Ln, where Li is a local module for every 1  i  n. Assume that J(Li0) is nonzero and is not a simple module for some i0. Then there is a non-zero element r  J(Li0) such that rR = J(Li0). Let T be maximal submodule of rR. By the condition 1), the injective hull of every simple right R-module is either a simple module or a module of length two. Then the local module Li0/T is not an injective module and it is not a V -module, which contradicts to condition 1). From these considerations, it follows that there exists a family of orthogonal idempotents e1, . . . en of ring R satisfying the condition a) and b) of Corollary 2.2, and RR/J(R) is the direct sum of a semisimple module and a V -module. By [15, 23.4], R/J(R) is a right V -ring. Then, by Corollary 2, R is an almost right V -ring.
+
+Theorem 2.3. For a regular ring R, the following assertions are equivalent:
+1) R is a right V -ring. 2) Every right R-module is a direct sum of an injective module and a V -
+module.

+
+3) Every right R-module is a direct sum of a projective module and a V -
+module.
+4) R is a right almost V -ring.
+Proof. The implications 1)2), 1)3), 1)4) are obvious.
+2)1) Assume that the ring R is not a right V -ring. Then E(S) = S for some simple right R-module S. By the condition 2) we have  i=1Li = M  N, where Li = E(S) for every i, M is an injective module and N is a V -module. Since J( i=1Li) is essential in  i=1Li, then J( i=1Li)  N = J(N ) is essential in N , and consequently N = 0. Let I = {r  R | E(S)r = 0}. We can conside the module  i=1Li as a right module over the ring R/I. Assume that R/I is not a semisimple artinian ring. Then the ring R/I contains a countable set of non-zero orthogonal idempotents {ei} i=1. For every i  N, there is an element li  Li such that liei = 0. Since the right R/I-module  i=1Li is injective, there exists a homomorphism f : R/IR/I   i=1Li, such that f (ei) = liei for all i. Since f (R/IR/I)  ni=1Li for some n  N, we obtain a contradiction with the fact that liei = 0 for all i  N. Thus R/I is a semisimple artinian ring. Consequently E(S) = S. This contradiction shows that R is a right V -ring.
+3)1) Assume that the ring R is not a right V -ring. Then by Lemma 2.1, there
+exists a right ideal I of R such that the right R-module R/I is an uniform, is not a
+simple module and Soc(R/IR) is a simple module. Then, by the condition 3), the module R/I is projective, and consequently R/IR is isomorphic to a submodule of RR, which is impossible. This contradiction shows that R is a right V -ring.
+The implication 4)1) follows directly from Corollary 2.1.
+
+3. Rings Over Which Every Module Is Almost Injective
+Let M be a right R-module. Denote by SI(M) the sum of all simple injective submodules of the module M. Clearly, SI(RR) is ideal of ring R.
+Lemma 3.1. Let R be a ring with the following properties: a) in the ring R there exists a finite set of orthogonal idempotents {ei}iI such that eiR is local injective right R-module of length two, for each i  I and J(R) = iI J(eiR); b) R/J(R) is a right SV -ring and Loewy(RR)  2; c) R/SI(RR) is a right artinian ring.
+Then we have the following statement: 1) the injective hull of every simple right R-module is either a simple module or a local projective module of length two;
+
+10
+
+ABYZOV A. N.
+
+2) every right R-module is a direct sum of a injective module and a V -module;
+3) every right R-module is a direct sum of a projective module and a V -
+module; 4) if S a simple submodule of the right R-module N, S  J(N) and SN = 0
+for some submodule N  of N, then there are submodules L, N  of N such that L is a local module of length two, S  L, N   N  and N = N   L.
+
+Proof. 1) Let S be a simple right R-module and E(S) = S. Since R/J(R) is a right V -ring and J(R) is a semisimple right R-module, then E(S)S = 0 for some simple submodule of S of right R-module J(R)R. From condition a) it follows that S is essential in some injective local submodule of the module iIeiR. Therefore, E(S) = ei0R for some i0  I. Thus injective hull of every simple right R- module is either a simple module or a local projective module of length two.
+2), 3) Let M be a right R-module. By Lemma of Zorn there is a maximal independent set of submodules of {Li}iI of a module M such that Li is a local injective module of length two, for each i  I. Clearly, E(iILi)SI(R) = 0. Then from the condition c) it follows that E(iI Li) = iI Li. Therefore M = iILi  N for some submodule N of a module M . It is clear that module iILi is injective and projective. If N is V -module, then from Lemma 2.1 and condition 1) follows that for some submodule N0 of the module N factor module N/N0 is a local projective module of length two. Therefore N = N0  L where L is a injective local module of length two, which impossible. Thus N is a V -module.
+4) From conditions 1) and 2), it follows that S  L where L is a local injective submodule of a module N of length two. Let L is a complement of L in N which contains the submodule N . Then (S + L)/L is a essential submodule of N/L and N/L = (S + L)/L. From condition 1), it follows that N/L is a local module of length two. Therefore, the natural homomorphism f : N  N/L induces an isomorphism f|L : L  N/L. Then N = L  L.
+Lemma 3.2. Let M be a right R-module and N be a injective submodule of M. If N  is submodule of M and N   N = 0, then N   N  and M = N   N for some submodule N  of M
+Proof. Let M is a complement of N in M which contains the submodule N . Then E(M) = E(N )  N and M = (E(N )  M)  N.

+a) in the ring R there exists a finite set of orthogonal idempotents {ei}iI such that eiR is a local injective right R-module of length two, for each
+
+i  I and J(R) = iI J(eiR); b) R/J(R) is a right SV -ring and Loewy(RR)  2;
+
+c) R/SI(RR) is a right artinian ring. 5) The ring R is isomorphic to the ring of formal matrix
+
+T T MS 0S
+
+, where
+
+a) S is a right SV -ring and Loewy(S)  2;
+
+b) for some ideal I of a ring S the equality MI = 0 holds and the ring
+
+T T MS/I 0 S/I
+
+is an artinian serial, with the square of the Jacobson
+
+radical equal to zero.
+
+Proof. the Implication 4)2) and 4)3) follow from Lemma 2.
+1)4) From corollary 2.1 it follows that R/J(R) is a right V -ring. According to
+[10, proposition 2.6] Loewy(RR)  2. Then RR/Soc(RR) is a semisimple module of finite length, and from corollary 2.1 follows that the ring R contains a finite
+set of orthogonal idempotents {ei}iI satisfying the condition a) of 4). Therefore, RR = iIeiR  A, where A is a semiartinian right R-module and Loewy(A)  2. As AJ(R) = 0, then, by corollary 2.1, A is a V -module. Suppose that Soc(A)
+contains an infinite family of primitive orthogonal idempotents {fi}iI such that fiR = E(fiR) for each i  I. Let B is a complement of iIfiR in RR, which contains the J(R). Consider the homomorphism f : iIfiR B  iIE(fiR), defined by f (r + b) = r, where r  iIfiR, b  B. Assume that  : iIfiR  B  RR is a natural embedding. If there exists a homomorphism g : RR  iIE(fiR) such that f = g then f (iIfiR)  g(RR)  iI E(fiR), where I  I.Therefore | I |< , which is impossible. Since the module iIE(fiR) is a almost RR-injective, then there exists non-zero idempotent   EndR(RR) and a homomorphism h : iIE(fiR)  (RR) such that  = hf. Since iIfiRB is essential in RR, then  = 0. Therefore, h = 0. Then h(E(fi0R)) = 0 for some i0  I. Since (J(R)) = hf (J(R)) = 0, then J((RR)) = 0. From proposition 2.1 it follows that E(fi0R) is a local projective module of length two. Since J((RR)) = 0, then Ker(h|E(fi0,R)) and Im(h|E(fi0,R)) is a simple modules. Then Im(h|E(fi0,R)) is a direct summand of the module RR. Therefore, Ker(h|E(fi0R)) is a direct summand of the module E(fi0R), which is impossible. Thus, Soc(A) = SI(RR)

+
+B where B is a module of finite length. Since A/Soc(A), Soc(A)/SI(RR) is a modules of finite length, then A/SI(RR) is a module of finite length. Therefore, R/SI(RR) is right artinian ring.
+4)1) Suppose that the ring R satisfy the condition 4) and M, N are right
+R-modules. We claim that M is an almost N-injective module. Let N0 is a submodule of N, and  : N0  N be the natural embedding and f : N0  M is a homomorphism. Without loss of generality, we can assume that N0 is an essential submodule of N. In this case Soc(N ) = Soc(N0).
+Consider the following three cases.
+Case f (J(N)  Soc(N)) = 0, f (SI(N)) = 0. There exists a homomorphism
+g : N  E(M), such that the equality holds f = g. If g(N)SI(RR) = 0, then exists a primitive idempotent e  R such that eR is a simple injective module and g(N)e = 0. Then neR is a simple injective module and f (neR) = g(neR) = 0 for
+some n  N, which contradicts the equality f (SI(N)) = 0. Thus g(N)SI(RR) = 0. Since R/SI(RR) is a right Artinian ring and by Corollary 2.1, R/SI(RR) is an almost right V -ring, then by [10, Corollary 3.2], RR/SI(RR) is an Artinian serial ring and J2(RR/SI(RR)) = 0. Then by [14, 13.67], g(N ) = N1  N2, where N1 is a semisimple module and N2 is a direct sum of local modules of length two. If N2 = 0 then there exists an epimorphism h : N2  L, where L is a local module of length two. Since L is a projective module, hg is a split epimorphism,
+where  : N1  N2  N2 is the natural projection. Consequently, hg|L is an isomorphism for some local submodule L of the module N and f (Soc(L)) = g(Soc(L)) = 0, which contradicts the equality f (J(N)  Soc(N)) = 0. Then
+g(N)  Soc(E(M))  M. Hence, we can conside the homomorphism g as an
+element of the Abelian group HomR(N, M). Case f (J(N)  Soc(N)) = 0. If f (N0) is not a V -module, then by Lemma 2.1,
+there exists an epimorphism h : f (N0)  L, where L is an uniform but is not a simple module, whose socle is a simple module. By lemma 3.1, L is a projective and injective module. Since L is a projective module, N0 = f -1(Ker(h))  L, f (N0) = Ker(h)f (L), where L is a submodule of N0 and L = L. By Lemma 3.2, the following conditions are satisfied for some direct summands M, N  of
+modules M and N, respectively:
+
+M = M   f (L), Ker(h)  M , N = N   L, f -1(Ker(h))  N .
+
+Let 1 : M   f (L)  f (L), 2 : N   L  L be natural projections. There exists an isomorphism h : f (L)  L, such that f h = 1f(L). Then we have the equality (h1)f = 2.

+
+If f (N0) is a V -module, then for some simple submodule S of J(N)Soc(N) we have the equality f (N0) = f (S)  M, where M is a submodule of the module M and f (S) = 0. Let  : f (S)  M  f (S) be the natural projection. We can consider the homomorphism f as an element of the Abelian group HomR(N0, f (N0)). Then N0 = Ker(f )  S. By Lemma 3.1, the following conditions are satisfied for some submodules N  and L of the module N :
+N = N   L, Ker(f )  N , lg(L) = 2, Soc(L) = S.
+
+By Corollary 2.1, R is a right almost V -ring. Then by [11, 2.9], there exists a decomposition M = M1  M2 of module M, such that M1 is a complement for f (S) in M and M  M1. Easy to see that 2(f (S)) is a simple essential submodule of M2, where 2 : M1  M2  M2 is the natural projection. Let h : S  2f (S) be the isomorphism is defined by h(s) = 2f (s) for every s  S. We can consider the homomorphism h-1 as an element of the Abelian group HomR(2f (S), L). If M2 is a simple module, then we have the equality (h-12)f = , wher  : N   L  L is the natural projection. If M2 is not a simple module, then since M2 is an injective module, there is an isomorphism h : M2  L such that h|2f(S) = h-1. Then we have the equality (h2)f = .
+Case f (SI(N)) = 0. In this case, for some simple injective submodule S of the module N we have f (S) = 0. Since f (S) is an injective module, M = f (S)  M0, where M0 is a submodule of M. Let  : f (S)  M0  f (S) be the natural projection. Then N0 = Ker(f )  S. By Lemma 3.2, there exists a direct summand N  of N such that:
+N = N   S, Ker(f )  N .
+Let  : N   S  S be the natural projection. There is an isomorphism h : f (S)  S, such that f h = 1f(S). Then we have the equality (h)f = .
+2)4) Suppose that the ring R satisfy the condition 2). According to the condition 2), we have that R/J(R)R = A  B, where A is an injective module and B is a V -module. By [18, Theorem 3.2], A has finite Goldie dimension. Since A is a semiartinian module and J(A) = 0, it follows that A is a semisimple module. Therefore, by [15, 23.4], R/J(R) is a V -ring.
+By the condition 2), this implies RR = A  B, where A is an injective module and B is a V -module. It is easy to see, according to the condition 2), the injective hull of every simple R-module has the length at most 2. Then by [18, Theorem 3.2], A is a finite direct sum of modules of length at most 2.
+Let M be a right injective R/SI(R)-module and {Li}iI be a maximal independent set of submodules of M with lg(Li) = 2 for all i. By the condition 2),
+
+14
+
+ABYZOV A. N.
+
+iILi is an injective R/SI(R)-module. Consequently, there exists a submodule N of M such that M = iI Li  N. If N (Soc(R)/SI(R)) = 0, then N contains a simple submodule S, such that S is not injective as right R-module. Then the
+injective hull E(S) of the right R-module S has the length two and obviously
+E(S)SI(R) = 0. Consequently, S is not a injective right R/SI(R)-module and
+there exists a local injective submodule L of N of length two such that S  L. This
+contradicts the choice of the set {Li}iI. Consequently, N (Soc(R)/SI(R)) = 0 and since R/ Soc(R) is a Artinian semisimple ring, we have N is a semisimple
+module. Thus, every injective right R/SI(R)-module is a direct sum of injective
+hulls of simple modules and since [13, 6.6.4], we have that R/SI(RR) is a right
+Artinian ring. 3)4) Suppose that the ring R satisfy the condition 3). If R = R/J(R) is not
+a right V -ring, then by Lemma 2.1, there is a right ideal T of the ring R such that the right R-module R/T is an uniform but is not a simple module, whose socle is a simple module. Consequently, by the condition 3) the module R/T is projective and isomorphic to a submodule of RR , which is impossible. Hence, R/J(R) is a V -ring.
+Let S be a simple right R-module and E(S) = S. By condition 3), E(S)
+is a projective module. By [13, 7.2.8, 11.4.1], E(S) is a local module. Since
+Loewy(R)  2, it follows that E(S)/S is a semisimple module. Consequently,
+J(E(S)) = S and lg(E(S)) = 2.
+By Zorn's Lemma there is a maximal independent set of submodules {Li}iI of RR such that Li is a local injective module of length two for all i  I. Since Loewy(RR)  2, it follows that I is a finite set and | I |< lg(RR/Soc(RR)). Then RR = iILi  eR, where e2 = e  R. By Lemma 2.1 and the condition 3), eR is a V -module. Consequently, J(R) = iI Li.
+Now assume that Soc(eR) contains an infinite set of orthogonal primitive idempotents {fi} i=1 with E(fiR) = fiR for all i. There exists a subset I of I, such that Z(Li) = 0 for all i  I and f R = iI\ILi  eR is a nonsingular module, where f 2 = f  R. There exists a homomorphism f : RR  E( i=1fiR) such that f (r) = r for all r   i=1fiR. Since E( i=1fiR) is a nonsingular module, it is generated by the module iI\ILi  eR. From the condition 3), implies that E( i=1fiR) is a projective module. Consequently, E( i=1fiR) can be considered as a direct summand of iIMi, where Mi = f R for all i  I. There exists a finite subset {i1, . . . , ik} of I such that the following inclusion holds f (RR)  Mi1  . . .  Mik . Let  : Mi1  . . .  Mik  (iI\{i1,...,ik}Mi)   M iI\{i1,...,ik} i be the natural projection. Since iIMi is nonsingular and f (RR) is an essential submodule of E( i=1fiR), then (E( i=1fiR)) = 0. Then E( i=1fiR) is
+
+ALMOST PROJECTIVE AND ALMOST INJECTIVE MODULES
+
+15
+
+a direct summand of Mi1  . . .  Mik , and consequently, E( i=1fiR) is finitely generated. By [18, Theorem 3.2], E( i=1fiR) has finite Goldie dimension, which
+is impossible. Thus, Soc(eR) = SI(R)  S, where S is a semisimple module of
+
+finite length. Consequently, R/SI(RR) is a right Artinian ring.
+
+4)5) Suppose that the ring R satisfy the condition 4). There is an idem-
+
+potent e  R such that eR = iIeiR. It is clear that eRSI(R) = 0 and
+
+SI(R)  (1 -e)R. By the condition 4), (1 -e)R is a semiartinian V -module, then (1 - e)Re = 0. Easy to see that (1 - e)R/J(R)(1 - e) = (1 - e)R(1 - e), where e = e + J(R). By [19, Theorem 2.9], (1 - e)R/J(R)(1 - e) = EndR/J(R)(1 - e)R/J(R)
+is a right SV -ring and Loewy((1-e)R/J(R)(1-e))  2. Thus, the Peirce decom-

+
+0
+
+(1 - e)R(1 - e)
+
+of the ring R satisfies the conditions
+
+a) and b) of 4). By Lemma 3.1, every right module over the ring R/SI(R)
+
+is a direct sum of an injective module and a V -module. It is clear that ev-
+
+ery V -module over a right Artinian ring is semisimple, then, by [14, 13.67],
+
+R/SI(R) =
+
+eRe eReeR(1 - e)(1-e)R(1-e)/SI(R) 0 (1 - e)R(1 - e)/SI(R)
+
+is an Artinian serial ring
+
+whose the square of the Jacobson radical is zero.

+
+Since eRI = 0 and R/I is an Artinian serial ring whose the square of the
+Jacobson radical is zero, there exists a finite set of orthogonal idempotents {ei}iI and a semisimple submodule A of RR  such that eRR  = iI eiR  A, and for every i eiR is a local right R-module of length two and eiR as right R/Imodule is injective. We claim that eiR is an injective R-module for every i. Suppose that E(eiR)I = 0. Then, there exists an elements r  I, m  E(eiR) such that mrR = Soc(eiR). Since eiRI = 0 and S is a regular ring, then Soc(eiR) = mrR = mrRrR = 0. This is a contradiction. Thus, eiR is an injective module for every i. Since S = R/eR is a right V -ring and f ReR = 0, we have f R is a V -module. Since
+
+RR  = iI eiR  A  f R
+and Af R is a V -module, we have that J(R) = iI J(eiR) and Loewy(RR )  2. Since R/J(R) = T /J(T ) � S, it follows that R/J(R) is a right SV -ring.
+There exists a right ideal I of R such that

+Soc(f RR ) = I  (Soc(f RR )  I).

+
+Since the right R-module I isomorphic to the submodule f RR /I and lg(f RR /I) < , we have that lg(I) < . Let N is a simple submodule of Soc(f RR )  I. We show that N is an injective module. Assume that E(N)e = 0. Then, there
+exists elements r  R, n  E(N ) such that nerR = N. Since eRI = 0 and S is a regular ring, we have N I = N , and consequently N = N I = nerRI = 0,
+which is impossible. Thus NeR = 0. Consequently, we can consider N as a module over the ring R/eR. Since R/eR = S is a right V -ring, it follows that E(N ) = N. Thus Soc(f RR )  I = Soc(I)  SI(R). Since R/ Soc(R)R is a semisimple module and I/ Soc(I)R isomorphic to a submodule of R/ Soc(R)R, we have that I/ Soc(I)R is a module of finite length. Since R/IR , I/ Soc(I)R are modules of finite length, we have R/ Soc(I)R is a module of finite length. Consequently, R/SI(R) is a right Artinian ring.
+
+Theorem 3.2. For a ring R the following conditions are equivalent:
+1) Every R-module is almost injective. 2) The ring R is a direct product of the SV -ring whith Loewy(RR)  2, and
+an artinian serial ring, with the square of the Jacobson radical equal to zero.
+

+
+triangular matrix ring R =

+
+5). Since every left R-module is almost injective, from the analogue of Theorem
+
+7 on the left-hand side, it implies that J(R) contained in a finite direct sum of
+
+left local injective R-modules of length two. Since M =

+BETTI NUMBERS AND PSEUDOEFFECTIVE CONES IN 2-FANO VARIETIES
+GIOSU� EMANUELE MURATORE
+Abstract. The 2-Fano varieties, defined by De Jong and Starr, satisfy some higher dimensional analogous properties of Fano varieties. We propose a definition of (weak)
+k-Fano variety and conjecture the polyhedrality of the cone of pseudoeffective k-cycles
+for those varieties in analogy with the case k = 1. Then, we calculate some Betti numbers of a large class of k-Fano varieties to prove some special case of the conjecture. In particular, the conjecture is true for all 2-Fano varieties of index  n - 2, and also we complete the classification of weak 2-Fano varieties answering Questions 39 and 41 in [AC13].
+1. Introduction
+The study of cones of curves or divisors on smooth complex projective varieties X is a classical subject in Algebraic Geometry and is still an active research topic. However, little is known when we pass to higher dimensions. For example it is a classical result that the cone of nef divisors is contained in the cone of pseudoeffective divisors, but in general Nefk(X)  Effk(X) is not true. These phenomena can appear only if dim X  4 and very few examples are known. In particular [DELV11] gives two examples of such varieties. Furthermore [Ott15] proves that if X is the variety of lines of a very general cubic fourfold in P5, then the cone of pseudoeffective 2-cycles on X is strictly contained in the cone of nef 2-cycles.
+The central subject of this paper will be the k-Fano varieties.
+Definition 1.1. A smooth Fano variety X is k-Fano if the sth Chern character chs(X) is positive (see Definition 2.3) for 1  s  k, and weak k-Fano for k > 1 if X is (k - 1)-Fano and chk(X) is nef.
+There is a large interest in studying varieties with positive Chern characters. For example varieties with positive ch1(X) are Fano, hence uniruled, that is there is a rational curve through a general point. Fano varieties with positive second Chern character were introduced by J. de Jong and J. Starr in [dJS06, dJS07]. They proved a (higher dimensional) analogue of this result: weak 2-Fano varieties have a rational surface through a general point. Furthermore if X is weak 3-Fano then there is a rational threefold through a general point of X (under some hypothesis on the polarized minimal family of rational curves through a general point of X, [AC12, Theorem 1.5(3)]).

+
+Another problem concerns how the geometry of the cones of pseudoeffective k-cycles depends on the positivity of the Chern characters chs(X). Mori's Cone Theorem resolves this problem for k = 1: the positivity of ch1(X) implies the polyhedrality of the cone of pseudoeffective 1-cycles and the extremal rays are spanned by classes of rational curves. By Kleiman's Theorem, a variety with positive ch1(X) is just a Fano variety, that is with c1(X) ample, but this is not enough, in general, for the polyhedrality of cones of pseudoeffective k-cycles for k > 1: Tschinkel showed a Fano variety where Eff2(X) has infinitely many extremal rays. Therefore more positivity is needed in order to obtain polyhedrality of cones of pseudoeffective k-cycles for k > 1.
+In this paper we investigate a possible way of generalizing Mori's result:
+Conjecture 1.2. If X is k-Fano, then Effk(X) is a polyhedral cone.
+The computing of the fourth Betti number is enough to show the polyhedrality of some of the cones of 2-cycles for a large class of varieties: complete intersections in weighted projective spaces, rational homogeneous varieties and most complete intersections in them, etc. This allows us to test the conjecture for many 2-Fano varieties, and in particular we prove that it holds for del Pezzo and Mukai varieties. Using the classification of Araujo-Castravet, we also prove the following.
+Theorem 1.3. Let X be a n-dimensional 2-Fano variety with iX  n - 2. Then Eff2(X) and Eff3(X) are polyhedral.
+Let X be a complete intersection in G(2, 5) or G(2, 6) with two hyperplanes under the Pl�cker embedding. Araujo and Castravet proved that X is not 2-Fano, but questioned if it is weak 2-Fano [AC13, Proposition 32 and Questions 39,41]. In [dA15, Corollary 5.1] it is proved that a general such X is not 2-Fano by showing that there exists an effective surface S such that [i(S)]N2 = 1,1, where i is the inclusion. In this circumstance we can prove that all the smooth complete intersections of this type are not weak 2-Fano, and this completes the classification given in [AC13, Theorem 3 and 4].
+Theorem 1.4. Let Y = G(2, 5) or G(2, 6), let X be a smooth complete intersection of type (1, 1) in Y under the Pl�cker embedding. Then X is not weak 2-Fano.
+These ideas can be improved in three very promising directions: to generalize Tschinkel's example to higher dimensions, to prove the conjecture for some Fano 4-folds of index 1, and to use minimal families of rational curves to prove the conjecture for other 2-Fano's.
+I thank Angelo Lopez for all the support he has shown me since the beginning of this work, and Gianluca Pacienza for his help. I also thank Carolina Araujo, Izzet Coskun and Enrico Fatighenti for answering many of my questions.

+
+� Zk(X) is the group of k-cycles with integer coefficients.
+
+� Ratk(X) is the group of k-cycles rationally equivalent to zero.

+
+We will often use the following well-known facts:
+
+Remark 2.1. There is a chain of inclusions [Ful84, p.374]
+
+Ratk(X)  Algk(X)  Homk(X)  Numk(X)  Zk(X) that gives rise to a diagram

+
+We set
+
+(2.2)
+
+k,R : Zk(X)/Homk(X)  R  Nk(X)R
+
+the tensor product of k and idR.
+
+Remark 2.2. By linearity of the intersection product, Nk(X) is torsion free. When X is smooth, the intersection product gives a perfect pairing [Ful84, Definition 19.1]
+
+Nk(X)R  Nn-k(X)R  R.
+
+Definition 2.3. Let X be a smooth variety. A class   Nk(X)R is positive if  �  > 0 for every   Effn-k(X)\{0}, and it is nef if  �   0 for every   Effn-k(X). The cone generated by nef classes of k-cycles is Nefk(X).
+
+Kleiman's criterion for amplitude [Laz04a, Theorem 1.4.29] states that the cone of positive (n - 1)-cycles is exactly the cone of numerical classes of ample divisors.
+
+BETTI NUMBERS AND PSEUDOEFFECTIVE CONES IN 2-FANO VARIETIES
+

+
+Lemma 2.4. Let X be a projective variety. Then
+(1) If either rkAk(X) = 1 or b2k(X) = 1, then Effk(X) is a half-line. (2) If either rkAk(X) = 2 or b2k(X) = 2, then Effk(X) is either a half-line or it is
+spanned by two extremal rays.
+
+Proof. In the first case, by diagram (2.1), we have a surjection Z  Nk(X) and, as
+
+Nk (X (2.1),
+
+) is torsion-free, it must there is a surjection Z2
+
+be 
+
+Nk (X ) Nk (X )
+
+= Z. In and then
+
+the second case, again by diagram either Nk(X) = Z or Nk(X) = Z2.
+
+Since Effk(X) generates Nk(X)R, it is either a half-line or it is spanned by two extremal
+
+rays, depending on the rank of Nk(X)R.
+
+Remark 2.5. In a general, a variety X with chk(X) positive may not be k-Fano. For

+
+3. Cycles on Fano Varieties
+
+We study here the pseudoeffective cones of k-cycles on some well-known classes of Fano varieties.
+
+3.1. Weighted projective spaces. Let P(w) be the weighted projective space where w = (w0, ..., wn)  Nn0 .
+
+Proposition 3.1. Let X be a n-dimensional smooth complete intersection in a weighted
+
+projective
+
+space.
+
+If
+
+k
+
+=
+
+n 2
+
+then
+
+b2k (X )
+
+= 1.
+
+In
+
+particular
+
+Eff k (X )
+
+is
+
+polyhedral.
+
+Proof. Recall [Dim92, B13] that dim H2i(P(w), Q) = 1 for every 0  i  dim P(w). By
+
+Lefschetz's Hyperplane Theorem [Dim92, B22] we have that H2k(X, Q) = H2k(P(w), Q)
+
+for
+
+2k
+
+<
+
+n,
+
+then
+
+b2k(X) = 1
+

+
+But

+
+by
+
+Lemma
+
+2.4
+
+that
+
+Eff k (X )
+
+is
+
+a
+
+half-line.
+
+Furthermore, if X is a k-Fano complete intersection in a projective space, then we can solve Conjecture 1.2, even for weak Fano.
+
+Theorem 3.2. Let X be a n-dimensional weak k-Fano complete intersection in a projective space. If 1  s  k, then b2s(X)  2. In particular Effs(X) is polyhedral.
+
+Proof. Let X be of type (d1, ..., dc) in Pn+c, with di  2 for 1  i  c. By Proposition
+
+3.1,
+
+we
+
+can
+
+suppose

+
+We

+
+[AC13,

+
+that
+
+ch n (X) 2
+
+is
+
+nef
+
+if and only ifnd12 + ... + dc2  n + c + 1. Since n  4, it follows easily that c = 1. On the
+
+other hand d12  n + 2 is possible only for d1 = 2, that is X is an n-dimensional quadric.
+
+But bn(X) = 2 [Rei72, p.20] and the theorem follows by Lemma 2.4.
+
+3.2. Rational homogeneous varieties. Let G be a reductive linear algebraic group defined over C, B a Borel subgroup of G. We consider the set of simple B-positive roots and denote by S the corresponding set of reflections in the Weyl group W . Then the pair (W, S) is a Coxeter system in the sense of [Bou68, Chapitre IV, D�finition 3]. Let l : W  N0 be the length function relative to the system S of generators of W . Furthermore we fix a subset  of S and denote by W the subgroup of W generated by  and by P a subgroup of G associated to . Then the quotient G/P is a projective variety, which is called a rational homogeneous variety. Any rational homogeneous variety
+
+BETTI NUMBERS AND PSEUDOEFFECTIVE CONES IN 2-FANO VARIETIES
+
+5
+
+is a Fano variety [BH58], and the action of G on G/P by left multiplication is transitive.
+Let w0 (respectively, w) be the unique element of maximal length of W (respectively, W). A simple calculation shows that dim G/P = l(w0) - l(w). The element w0 and w are characterized by the property [Bou68, Chapitre IV, Exercise 22]
+
+(3.1) (3.2)
+
+l(ww0) = l(w0) - l(w), w  W l(ww) = l(w) - l(w), w  W
+
+that imply immediately w02 = 1 and w2 = 1. It follows that, for every w  W
+l(w0w) = l((w0w)-1) = l(w-1w0-1) = l(w-1w0) = l(w0) - l(w-1) = l(w0) - l(w).
+Furthermore, set W  = {w  W/l(ws) = l(w) + 1 s  }. We have, for every (w, w�)  W  � W,
+
+(3.3)
+
+l(ww�) = l(w) + l(w�).
+
+Proposition 3.3. Let X be a smooth n-dimensional variety and let G be an affine group which acts transitively on X. Suppose that, for every k = 1, ..., n - 1, there exists a finite family of subvarieties {a}aIk of dimension k such that
+(1) {[a] /a  Ik} = H2k(X, Z) or Ak(X), and (2) a  Ik, b  In-k such that a � c = b,c c  In-k.
+Then Nefk(X) = Effk(X) = Effk(X) is polyhedral.
+Proof. We will suppose that the classes of the subvarieties {a}aIk generate H2k(X, Z), the case Ak(X) being similar. Let a be the class of a in Nk(X). Let   Nefk(X). By (2.2) there is a class   Zk(X)/Homk(X)  R  H2k(X, R) such that k,R() = . By (1) we have that  = aIk a[a] and then  = ak([a]) = aa. Let a  Ik and let b  In-k be as in (2). Then  � b = a  0 because  is nef and b is effective. Therefore   Effk(X), then Nefk(X)  Effk(X). Let A a subvariety of X of dimension k, and let B be a subvariety of X of codimension k. By Kleiman's Theorem [Kle74] there is an element g  G such that gA is rationally equivalent to A and generically transverse to B. Then A � B = (gA) � B = #((gA)  B)  0, so Effk(X)  Nefk(X). It is clear that Nefk(X) is generated by {a/a  Ik}. Since Nefk(X) is closed and, as seen above, generated by the a, we get that Nefk(X) = Effk(X) is polyhedral.
+
+Proposition 3.4. Let X be a rational homogeneous variety. Then Nefk(X) = Effk(X) = Effk(X) is polyhedral.
+
+Proof. The description of the Chow ring of any rational homogeneous variety given in [K�c91, Corollary(1.5)] is
+
+A(X) =
+
+Z[Xw ]
+
+wW 
+
+where Xw is the closure of the set BwP/P , with dimension l(w) [K�c91, Proposition(1.3)]. Let Ik = {w  W /l(w) = k}. Given w  W  we claim that w0ww  Idim X-k. Indeed for all s  , using (3.1) and (3.3), we have
+
+l(w0wws) = l(w0) - l(wws) = l(w0) - l(w) - l(ws) = l(w0) - l(w) - l(w) + l(s) = l(w0) - l(ww) + 1 = l(w0ww) + 1
+
+BETTI NUMBERS AND PSEUDOEFFECTIVE CONES IN 2-FANO VARIETIES
+
+6
+
+Similarly we can prove that l(w0ww) = l(w0) - l(w) - l(w). Now given w  Ik we have, by [K�c91, Proposition(1.4)], that (2) of Proposition 3.3 is satisfied.
+
+The pseudoeffective cone is also polyhedral in the case when the action of G on X has finitely many orbits, see [FMSS95, Corollary p.2].
+Among the rational homogeneous varieties, the following are particularly interesting.
+
+Definition of r-planes
+
+3.5. Let r, s be two integers such that G(r, s) is the scheme of r-dimensional
+
+2
+
+
+
+r
+
+
+
+s 2
+
+subspaces
+
+. The Grassmann of Cs. Let  be
+
+variety a non-
+
+degenerate symmetric bilinear form on Cs. The orthogonal Grassmannian of isotropic
+
+r-planes OG(r, s) is the scheme of r-dimensional subspaces of Cs isotropic with respect
+
+to . The scheme OG(r, 2m) has two isomorphic connected components if r = m or
+
+m - 1. In these two cases, we will denote by OG+(r, 2m) a connected component of OG(r, 2m). Let  be a non-degenerate symplectic bilinear form on Cs. The symplectic
+
+Grassmannian of isotropic r-planes SG(r, s) is the scheme of r-dimensional subspaces of
+
+Cs isotropic with respect to .
+
+Remark 3.6. Let S be the universal subbundle of G(r, s). The Pl�cker embedding is the embedding given by the very ample line bundle rS. The varieties OG(r, s) and SG(r, s) can be embedded in G(r, s) as zero sections of, respectively, Sym2S and 2S.
+
+3.2.1. Complete intersection of rational homogeneous varieties.
+
+Remark 3.7. In [AC13, Proposition 34], it is stated that the smooth complete intersection
+of OG+(k, 2k) of type (2, 2) under the Pl�cker embedding is a weak 2-Fano variety. This should be read as (2).
+
+Remark 3.8. Let X be a smooth complete intersection of G(2, 5) of type (1, 1) under the
+Pl�cker embedding, let Z be the variety of lines through a general point of X. [AC13, Example 30] says that Z has homology class equal to 2 + 1,1. This should be read as 21,1 + 2.
+
+Remark 3.9. By Serre duality (pG(2,5)(-m)) = (6G-(2p,5)(m)), and for m = 1, 2, 3 we have (G(2,5)(-m)) = (5G(2,5)(m)) = 0 because all the groups Hp(G(2, 5), 5G(2,5)(m)) are zero by [Sno86, Theorem p. 171(3)]. If m = 1, 2 we have (2G(2,5)(-m)) =
+(4G(2,5)(m)) = 0, because p  0 Hp(G(2, 5), 4G(2,5)(m)) = 0 by [Sno86, Theorem
+p.p. 165,169]. It can easily be seen that (G(2,5)) = -1 and (2G(2,5)) = 2.
+
+Lemma 3.10. Let X be a smooth complete intersection of type (1, 1) in a Grassmann variety G(2, 5) under the Pl�cker embedding. Then b4(X) = 2.
+
+Proof. By [Laz04b, Example 7.1.5], all rows of the Hodge Diamond of X, except the
+middle row, are equal to those of the Hodge Diamond of G = G(2, 5). Since X is Fano, h0,4(X) = 0 then

+
+Note that by Serre duality and adjunction formula, for any integer m h4(OX (-m)) = h0(OX (m)  OG(2 - 5)|X ) = h0(OX (m - 3))
+then by Kodaira Vanishing Theorem, (OX (-1)) = (OX (-2)) = 0. Take the Koszul resolution of the sheaf OX

+
+If we tensor (3.8) by OG(-1) we have

+
+we get (X ) = (G|X ) - 2(OX (-1)) = -1, then h1,3(X) = 0 by (3.4). If, instead, we tensor (3.7) by 2G, that is
+
+0  2G(-2)  2G(-1)2  2G  2G|X  0 we get, by Remark 3.9,
+
+(2G|X ) = (2G(-2)) - 2(2G(-1)) + (2G) = 2
+
+By [Har77, Exercise II.5.16d] and (3.9) we get
+
+(2X ) = (2G|X) - 2(G|X (-1)) - 3(OX (-2)) = 2 Then by (3.5) and (3.6) we get h2,2(X) = 2 and b4(X) = 2.
+
+Proposition 3.11. Let X be a n-dimensional weak 2-Fano complete intersection in a Grassmann variety G(r, s) under the Pl�cker embedding. Then, b4(X)  2. In particular Eff2(X) is polyhedral.
+
+Proof. Assume that X is of type (d1, ..., dc). If n > 4, by [Laz04b, Theorem 7.1.1], we
+
+have b4(X) = b4(G(r, s))  2 and we can apply Lemma 2.4. If n = 4, using [AC13,

+
+None of them is weak 2-Fano by [AC13, Proposition 31 and 32(iv)], and Theorem 1.4.
+
+Now we can prove Theorem 1.4.
+
+Proof. Let OY (1) be the Pl�cker line bundle and let U  P(OY (1)2) be the open set parametrizing the smooth complete intersections in Y of bidegree (1, 1). For t  U , we denote by Xt the corresponding variety. Let X := {(x, t)  Y � U : x  Xt} and consider the family
+X pr1 / Y
+pr2
+ U
+Suppose Y = G(2, 5). Let i : Xt  Y be the inclusion, the map i : H4(Y, Z)  H4(Xt, Z) is injective with torsion free cokernel by [Laz04b, Theorem 7.1.1 and Example 7.1.2], since b4(Y ) = b4(Xt) = 2 by Lemma 3.10, we have that i : H4(Y, Z)  H4(Xt, Z) is an isomorphism. By [dA15, Corollary 5.1], for a very general t there exists a surface St such that [i(St)]N2 = 1,1. Then there exist at, bt  Z such that St = at2|Xt + bt1,1|Xt. Since
+(2|Xt )2 = (22) � 12 = (3,1 + 2,2) � 12 = 2 (1,1|Xt )2 = (12,1) � 12 = 2,2 � 12 = 1 2|Xt � 1,1|Xt = (2 � 1,1) � 12 = 3,1 � 12 = 1
+Using the condition [i(St)]N2 = 1,1 = 2,2, we have
+0 = 2,2 � 2 = St � 2|Xt = 2at + bt 1 = 2,2 � 1,1 = St � 1,1|Xt = at + bt
+then at = -1 and bt = 2. Let S := pr1(-2 + 21,1), then the surface S|Xt is such that [St] = [S|Xt], and since we see that it is effective for a general t, hence it is effective for all1 t. Let t  U , then Xt is not weak 2-Fano since using [AC13, Proposition 32]

+
+Proposition 3.15. Let s, r be positive integers such that 2  r 
+
+s 2
+
+, and
+
+s 2
+
+- r = 1, 2
+
+if s is even. Let s = 2r (respectively, s = 2r), let X be a n-dimensional weak 2-Fano
+
+complete intersection in a connected component of the orthogonal Grassmann variety
+
+OG(r, s) under the Pl�cker (respectively, half-spinor) embedding, with X very general if
+
+X  OG(2, 7). Then Eff2(X) is polyhedral.
+
+Proof. Assume that X is of type (d1, ..., dc). If n > 4, by [Laz04b, Theorem 7.1.1] and
+
+Lemma 3.12, we have b4(X)  2 and we can apply Lemma 2.4. Then we have n = 4
+
+and c =
+
+r(2s-3r-1) 2
+
+-
+
+4.
+
+If 2r = s, by [AC13, Proposition 34] and Remark 3.7, we
+
+see that X is weak 2-Fano if and only if either di = 1 and c  4, or X of type (2).
+
+Therefore we get r = 4 and X of type (1, 1). By [AC13, Proposition 34] we have that
+
+KX = -c1(X) = -4H, where H is the half-spinor embedding. But then, by [KO73, Corollary p.37], X is a smooth quadric in P5 and then b4(X) = 2 by [Rei72, p.20], so we
+
+apply by Lemma 2.4.
+
+If 2r = s, since c1(OG(r, s)) = (s - r - 1)1 we get that
+
+c i=1
+
+di
+
+ s - r - 2.
+
+It
+
+is
+
+easy to see that this leads to the following cases

+OG+(2, 6)
+
+Type
+(1, 1) (1, 1, 1)
+(2) (1)
+
+But OG(3, 7) = OG+(4, 8), then the first case is a quadric. Let X111 be the variety (1, 1, 1) in OG(2, 7). This is the variety (b8) in the classification given in [K�95]. Indeed,
+
+for the reader's convenience, we point out that X111 is the zero-locus of a global section
+
+of the bundle
+
+2S 3  Sym2S
+
+where S is (1, 0; 0, 0, 0, 0, 0) in K�chle's notation (see [K�95, Section 2.5]). So h1,3(X111) > 0 by [K�95, Theorem 4.8]. Now apply [Spa96, Theorem 2] to conclude that the space of
+
+BETTI NUMBERS AND PSEUDOEFFECTIVE CONES IN 2-FANO VARIETIES
+
+15
+
+algebraic cycles of X111 is induced by the space of algebraic cycles of OG(2, 7). Then
+
+Z2(X111)/Alg2(X111)  R
+
+is at most 2-dimensional. Hence Eff2(X111) is polyhedral by (2.1) and Lemma 2.4. The
+
+last two varieties do not satisfy the condition
+
+s 2
+
+- r = 1, 2, anyway, they are not weak
+
+2-Fano by [AC13, Example 21]. Indeed, OG+(2, 6) is the zero section of the bundle
+
+OP3(1)  OP3(1) in P3 � P3 [Kuz15, Proposition 2.1], and it can easily be seen that the
+
+Pl�cker embedding is given by the divisor (1, 1), then the two varieties are isomorphic
+
+to, respectively, a complete intersection of type (1, 1) and (1, 2) in P3 � P3 under the
+
+embedding given by OP3(1)  OP3(1).
+
+Proposition 3.16. Let X be a smooth n-dimensional weak 2-Fano complete intersection in a symplectic Grassmann variety SG(r, s) under the Pl�cker embedding. Then, b4(X)  2. In particular Eff2(X) is polyhedral.
+
+Proof. Assume that X is of type (d1, ..., dc). If n > 4, by [Laz04b, Theorem 7.1.1] and
+
+Lemma 3.14, we have b4(X) = b4(SG(r, s))  2 and we can apply Lemma 2.4. If n = 4,
+
+since and
+
+c1(SG(r, s)) = (s - r + 1)1 we
+
+c i=1
+
+di
+
+
+
+s - r.
+
+It
+
+is

+
+to

+
+The variety SG(2, 6) is a section of 2(S) = OG(2,6)(1), as we said in Remark 3.6. Thus the last two case are, respectively, (1, 1, 1, 1) and (1, 1, 1, 2) in G(2, 6). The first two cases are not weak 2-Fano by [AC13, Proposition 36], the last two by [AC13, Proposition 32(i)].
+
+4. Fano manifolds of dimension n and index iX > n - 3
+A very important invariant of a Fano variety X is its index: this is the maximal integer iX such that -KX is divisible by iX in P ic(X).
+Fano varieties of high index have been classified: [KO73] proved that iX  n + 1, iX = n + 1 if and only if X = Pn, and iX = n if and only if X  Pn+1 is a smooth hyperquadric. Furthermore the case iX = n - 1 (the so called Del Pezzo varieties) has been classified by Fujita in [Fuj82a, Fuj82b], and the case iX = n - 2 (the so called Mukai varieties) by Mukai (see [Muk89] and [IP99]).
+Araujo and Castravet [AC13, Theorem 3] succeeded to classify 2-Fano Del Pezzo and Mukai varieties. They proved:
+

+

+
+Theorem 4.1. Let X be a 2-Fano variety of dimension n  3 and index iX  n - 2. Then X is isomorphic to one of the following.
+� Pn. � Complete intersection in projective spaces:
+- Quadric hypersurfaces X  Pn+1 with n > 2; - Complete intersections of type (2, 2) in Pn+2 with n > 5; - Cubic hypersurfaces X  Pn+1 with n > 7; - Quartic hypersurfaces X  Pn+1 with n > 15; - Complete intersections of type (2, 3) in Pn+2 with n > 11; - Complete intersections of type (2, 2, 2) in Pn+3 with n > 9. � Complete intersection in weighted projective spaces: - Degree 4 hypersurfaces in P(2, 1, ..., 1) with n > 11; - Degree 6 hypersurfaces in P(3, 2, 1, ..., 1) with n > 23; - Degree 6 hypersurfaces in P(3, 1, ..., 1) with n > 26; - Complete intersections of type (2, 2) in P(2, 1, ..., 1) with n > 14. � G(2, 5). � OG+(5, 10) and its linear sections of codimension c < 4. � SG(3, 6). � G2/P2.
+Here G2/P2 is a 5-dimensional homogeneous variety for a group of type G2. Using the results in the previous sections we obtain:
+Theorem 4.2. Let X be a n-dimensional 2-Fano variety with iX  n - 2. Then Eff2(X) and Eff3(X) are polyhedral.
+Proof. In the case Pn and its complete intersections, we can invoke Theorem 3.2. Since none of the complete intersections in P(w) of the list has dimension 4, we can use Proposition 3.1. Also G(2, 5), OG+(5, 10), SG(3, 6) and G2/P2 are rational homogeneous varieties, then their cone of pseudoeffective 2-cycles is polyhedral by Proposition 3.4. Whereas the complete intersections of OG+(5, 10) have polyhedral cone of pseudoeffective 2-cycles by Proposition 3.15.
+In Theorem 4.1, the only complete intersection of dimension 6 in a weighted projective space is the smooth quadric Q  P7, and by [Rei72, p.20] b6(Q) = 2 then Eff3(X) is polyhedral by Lemma 2.4. For the other complete intersections we can use Proposition 3.1, whilst for the rational homogeneous varieties we can use Proposition 3.4. Also for the complete intersections in OG+(5, 10) we have b6(X) = 2, because b6(OG+(5, 10)) = 2 by Lemma 3.13 and we can use [Laz04b, Theorem 7.1.1].
+Then Conjecture 1.2 is true also for 3-Fano varieties of index  n - 2.

+Nonlinear response of biased bilayer graphene at terahertz frequencies
+Riley McGouran1 and Marc M. Dignam1 1Department of Physics, Engineering Physics and Astronomy,
+Queens University, Kingston, Ontario K7L 3N6, Canada (Dated: Dec 29, 2016)
+A density-matrix formalism within the length gauge is developed to calculate the nonlinear response of both doped and undoped biased bilayer graphene (BBLG) at terahertz frequencies. Employing a tight-binding model, we derive an effective two-band Hamiltonian with which we calculate the conduction and valence band dispersion, as well as their respective Bloch states. We then solve for the dynamic equations of the density matrix elements, allowing for the calculation of the intraband and interband current densities and the transmitted and reflected terahertz fields. We find that for undoped BBLG with a gap size of 4 meV, the reflected field exhibits a third harmonic amplitude that is 45% of the fundamental in the reflected field (0.07% of the incident field fundamental) for an incident 1 THz single-cycle pulse with a field amplitude of 2.0 kV/cm. We find for doped BBLG, although the dispersion becomes highly nonparabolic as a bias is applied, the third harmonic is a maximum of 8% of the fundamental in the reflected field (0.56% of the incident field fundamental) when there is no bias and diminishes with an increase in bias.

+I. INTRODUCTION
+In recent years there has been intense research focused on both monolayer graphene (MLG), and unbiased bilayer graphene (UBLG). Much of this interest is due to the remarkable transport properties possessed by both of these materials. This is highlighted by very large carrier mobilities and thermal conductivities. In addition, its mechanical properties (stiffness, strength and flexibility) make it ideal as a basis for new composite materials, while its transparency to white light (95%) makes it ideal for flexible touch screen displays. It even has potential to serve in new energy applications, including batteries[1� 10].
+Furthermore, the nonparabolic gapless electron energy bands found in MLG and UBLG lead to an intriguing nonlinear optical and terahertz (THz) response, with theoretical studies predicting that third-harmonic generation (THG) is expected to be observed[11�13]. Thus, a portion of the interest in MLG and UBLG arises from the fact that it may be used for THz harmonic generation. In a recent paper we found that for undoped, suspended UBLG, a third harmonic is generated that is 30% of the fundamental in the reflected field, for an incident 1 THz single-cycle pulse with a field amplitude of 1.5 kV/cm [13].
+Harmonic generation is only one of the reasons that MLG and UBLG are so appealing to researchers. Perhaps one of the most exciting properties of bilayer graphene is the ability to open a gap in its energy dispersion by applying an external DC bias perpendicular to the layers. We refer to this system as biased bilayer graphene (BBLG). The conduction and valence bands of BBLG do not touch at the Dirac point, and instead exhibit a gap, the size of which is controlled by the bias[14� 17]. The ability to control the size of the gap makes BBLG the first semiconductor with a widely tunable gap, thus making it potentially very important to the modern fields of nanoelectronics and optoelectronics.
+The application of a bias to bilayer graphene results in
+
+a difference in the potential energy of the atoms in the top and bottom layers, thereby breaking the inversion symmetry of the lattice. The breaking of inversion symmetry by the bias leads to more than the opening of a band gap. The symmetry breaking also allows for a non-zero Berry curvature. It is well known that in the presence of an inplane electric field, an electron will acquire an anomalous velocity in a direction transverse to the field, and with magnitude proportional to the Berry curvature, (k), of the band structure[18, 19]. This provides an anomalous contribution to the intraband current density. We shall derive an explicit expression for the Berry curvature of BBLG, which allows for the calculation of the anomalous velocity, as well as valley currents - which are localized around the Dirac points within the first Brillouin zone. Additionally, we find that there is also an anomalous interband current, which is also a result of inversion symmetry breaking, and has not yet been reported in the literature.
+As in MLG and UBLG, the absorption of optical and THz radiation in BBLG can be characterized by interband and intraband transitions. For an external bias that only induces a gap on the order of a few meV, the low THz photon energy is sufficient to probe transitions between the valence and conduction bands (interband transitions) in undoped BBLG at low temperatures. These interband transitions will be strongly affected by the presence of an external bias as transitions will be greatly suppressed when the gap size is greater than the energy of the incident THz field. Additionally, the intraband current arising from the carriers in the conduction and valence bands will be affected by the distortion of the band dispersions resulting from the bias. For larger biases (corresponding to gap sizes of a few hundred meV), a 'sombrero' feature in the dispersion is manifest[14, 15, 20]. This feature serves to move the minimum of the bands away from the Dirac point.
+Previous theoretical studies of MLG and UBLG have suggested the presence of a strong nonlinearity at optical and THz frequencies[21�26]. Experiments have been per-
+
+2
+
+formed with the intent of observing THG in mono and mullti-layer graphene. It has been observed by using a 45-layer sample, however it has not yet been successfully observed in MLG or UBLG [27, 28]. In recent theoretical work on MLG and UBLG, it was shown that if the Fermi level is reduced to within only a few meV of the Dirac point, the magnitude of the interband current is comparable to the intraband current, and a strong nonlinearity in the interband current can arise [11, 13]. Similarly, we expect that the presence of a tunable gap in the band structure of BBLG may lead to a unique interplay between the interband and intraband current densities, and open the possibility to interesting higher order behavior.
+In this paper, we present a derivation of a two-band tight-binding model for the intraband and interband dynamics of undoped and doped suspended BBLG in response to a single-cycle pulse at 1 THz. We use this model to explore the dependency of the nonlinear response on a number of parameters. Specifically, we study the role of the external bias on third and higher harmonic generation. The current densities and the corresponding harmonics are numerically calculated for both undoped and doped BBLG. We find that the ratio of the amplitude of the third harmonic to the fundamental in the reflected field is larger for undoped BBLG with a gap size of 4 meV, than it is for UBLG under identical conditions. Finally, we examine the nonlinear response of doped BBLG with a number of gap sizes. We find that as the size of the gap increases, the third harmonic amplitude decreases; reaching a maximum for a gap size of zero.
+The paper is organized as follows. In section II, we first present the results of the tight binding model used to obtain the dispersions and eigenvectors corresponding to the low energy conduction and valence bands of BBLG. The eigenvectors allow us to determine expressions for the interband and intraband connection elements, as well as the Berry connections and curvatures of the conduction and valence bands. We then use these expressions to determine the dynamic equations for the density matrix, and the expressions for the intraband and interband current densities. In section III, we present the results of numerical simulations for both undoped and doped BBLG. The conclusions are presented in section IV.
+II. THEORY
+The calculations that we perform are based on a theoretical approach employing a density-matrix formalism in the length gauge (also known as the electric dipole gauge). A nearest-neighbor tight-binding model is used to treat the -electrons in the graphene, which are taken to provide the conduction electrons[29].
+
+II.1. Energy Bands
+
+The tight binding model we employ for BBLG makes use of the solutions found in the case of UBLG. Beginning with the unbiased bilayer Bloch functions [13], we obtain the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of BBLG by solving the characteristic equation for an effective two band Hamiltonian, obtained through the coupling of the lower energy bands: conduction band c1 and valence band v2, as outlined in Ref. [13].
+The tight-binding expression for the Bloch states is given by
+
+nk(r) = An (k)
+
+Cin (k) pz (r - R - ri) eik�R,
+
+iR
+(1)
+
+where An (k) is a normalization factor, n labels the con-
+
+duction and valence bands, and the sum is over the
+
+Bravais lattice vectors R. The sublattice coefficients,
+
+Cin (k), are associated with the four carbon atoms within the unit cell; the pz (r) are the 2pz orbitals of car-
+
+bon. The index i indicates a sum over the basis vectors
+
+rA1 , rB1 , rA2 , rB2 , which give the position of sublattice sites A1 and B1 in the top layer, and A2 and B2 in the
+
+bottom layer. Explicitly, they are given by rA1 = 0, rB1 = aox, rA2 = -aox and rB2 = 0.
+Formally, when an external bias is applied perpendic-
+
+ularly to the plane of the bilayer, we can express the
+
+Hamiltonian of BBLG in the basis of the sublattice Bloch
+
+states as

+
+ 
+
+,
+
+
+
+(2)
+
+t
+
+0 f (k) t -a
+
+where, due to the DC bias, the potential energy difference between the atoms in the top and bottom layers is 2a. The vector of the sublattice coefficients is given by
+
+kn = CAn1 (k) , CBn1 (k) , CAn2 (k) , CBn2 (k) .
+
+Here k is the crystal momentum and the function f (k) 
+
+(1 + e-ik�a1 + e-ik�a2 ) is a result of the nearest-neighbor
+
+intralayer electron hopping, where the ai are the primi-
+
+tive translation vectors of graphene, given explicitly by

+
+Here ao is the nearest-neighbor separation (ao 1.42 �A). Also, the intralayer hopping energy, t , and the interlayer hopping energy, t, are approximately equal to 3.03 eV and 0.3 eV, respectively [30, 31].
+We separate the BBLG Hamiltonian into two parts: Hb = Hu + V, where Hu is the Hamiltonian for unbiased bilayer graphene, and V is the matrix representing the potential due to the external bias,

+
+Because photons in pulses at THz frequencies possess energies on the order of tens of meV or less, the interband carrier transitions resulting from THz absorption occur almost exclusively between the c1 and v2 bands (low energy bands). For all biases of interest in this work, the next lowest energy transitions between v2  c2 and v1  c1 occur at approximately 75 THz, which is a much higher frequency than we are considering here. Thus, we may obtain an effective biased Hamiltonian, Hb(2), in the basis of the low energy Bloch functions of UBLG (here the superscript (2) denotes that we use as our basis only the Bloch functions that correspond to the conduction and valence bands closest in energy to the Dirac point: c1 and v2).
+We take our trial variational wavefunction to be a linear combination of the low energy Bloch functions of UBLG:
+
+kb = aj(k) kj ,
+
+(5)
+
+j
+
+where the aj(k) are expansion coefficients that are determined by solving for the eigenvectors of Hb(2), and the
+kj are eigenstates of Hu where j takes on the values
+c1, v2. Explicitly, we find that in the original sublattice basis, the unbiased eigenstates are given by [13]

+f (k) / |f (k)|. In Eqs. (6) and (7), we have suppressed
+
+the explicit k-dependencies for simplicity.
+
+The matrix elements of Hb(2) are then given by Hb(2)ij = ki| [Hu + V ] |kj , for i, j = {c1, v2}. Since the unbiased
+
+Hamiltonian Hu is diagonal in the basis of the Bloch
+functions |kj , the off-diagonal elements of Hb(2) will be due entirely to the potential V . Thus, our effective biased
+
+Hamiltonian takes the form

+
+unbiased
+
+case:
+
+E0(k) =
+
+~(k)-t 2
+
+[13].
+
+We may now solve for the eigenvalues and eigenvectors
+of Hb(2). Doing so, we have for the dispersions of the biased conduction and valence bands
+
+Ecb1 (k) = Eb(k),
+
+Evb2 (k) = -Eb(k),

+
+.
+
+The
+
+calculated
+
+dis-
+
+persions are shown in Fig. 1 for two different bias values.
+
+As has been found by previous researchers[14, 16], there
+
+is an opening of a band gap in the presence of a non-zero
+
+bias. The 'sombrero' feature also becomes clearly present
+
+as the external bias is increased to larger values.
+
+FIG. 1. Energy bands of BBLG as a function of the crystal momentum k for two different biases. A gap between conduction and valence bands is present for both bias values (measured in meV); we see a flattening of the bands at the 40 meV bias.
+
+The corresponding eigenvectors for the biased conduction and valence bands are found by solving for the coefficients of the unbiased Bloch functions, aj(k), in Eq.(5). Solving for these coefficients allows us to express the eigenvectors explicitly as
+
+kbc1 = A(k) S(k) kc1 - (E0(k) - Eb(k)) kv2 , (10)
+
+kbv2 = A(k) (E0(k) - Eb(k)) kc1 + S(k) kv2 , (11)
+where A is a normalization constant given by
+
+1
+
+A(k) =
+
+.
+
+(12)
+
+2Eb(k)(Eb(k) - E0(k))
+
+It is easy to show that these eigenvectors are orthonormal: kbi kbj = ij. We can also show that in the limit a  0, these expressions for the Bloch functions of the biased conduction and valence bands reduce to the cor-
+responding unbiased Bloch functions, kc1 & kv2 , re-
+spectively. As was done in our study on unbiased bilayer graphene,
+we employ the length gauge in order to model the interaction of BBLG with THz radiation. This method avoids
+
+4
+
+low-frequency divergences that arise when using the velocity gauge [32, 33]. The Hamiltonian in the length gauge is expressed as H = H0 - er � E, where H0 is the effective Hamiltonian for BBLG (Eq. 8), e = -|e| is the charge of an electron, r is the electron position vector, and E(t) is the THz electric field at the graphene. For normally incident plane waves, the field is taken to be uniform over the graphene sheets.
+
+II.2. Connection Elements
+Modelling the carrier dynamics in BBLG requires the calculation of the connection elements between the different electron bands. These arise from the matrix elements of the position operator r, between the Bloch states of BBLG [11, 34]:
+
+n, k |r |m, k = (k - k )nm(k) + inmk(k - k ), (13)
+where the connection elements are defined as
+
+(2)2 i nm(k) = 
+
+d3run,k (r) kum,k (r) .
+
+
+(14)
+
+Here  is the volume of a unit cell and unk(r) is the periodic part of the Bloch function. We can evaluate this expression using the biased Bloch functions given in Eqs. (10) and (11). In these calculations we ignore the overlap of the wave functions on different atomic sites. To simplify notation, in all that follows we shall replace c1 with c and v2 with v and shall simply refer to them as conduction and valence bands.
+Due to the symmetry between the sublattices, the conduction and valence states in graphene are degenerate at two Dirac points, given by:

+4
+
+Kao =  y,
+
+33 8
+
+(15)
+
+K
+
+ao
+
+=
+
+ y. 33
+
+For energies close to the Dirac points - within a few hundred meV - we can expand the crystal momentum around the Dirac points as k = K + k and k = K + k, where k = kxx^ + kyy^. With this expansion, we find that the biased interband connection element between the conduction and valence bands, vbc(k), is given by

+

+Eb(k), E0(k), S(k) and ~(k) have been suppressed, and k is the magnitude of the crystal momentum k  |k|.
+
+Here we have defined the constant  = 4 2vF2 , where vF = 3a0t/2 is the Fermi velocity. We have also used
+the results of our calculations for the unbiased interband
+
+and intraband connection elements: i kv k kc =
+vc(k), and i kn k kn = nn(k) = 0, respectively[13]. Around the K-Dirac point we can express vc(k) as
+
+vc (K + k) =
+
+~ + t 2~
+
+ .
+k
+
+(17)
+
+In these expressions for the connection elements, k^ = cos()x^ + sin()y^ and ^ = -sin()x^ + cos()y^ are, respectively, the radial and angular unit vectors in cylindrical coordinates with the origin at the K-Dirac point. In comparison to that for UBLG, we find that the biased connection element has both ^ and k^ components (Eq. (16)). It is easy to show that in the limit a  0, we have that vbc(k)  vc(k), as expected. We shall see that the two component nature of the biased connection element leads to a significant interband current density contribution that is absent in the unbiased case.
+Next, we calculate the biased intraband connection elements. As discussed previously, these intraband connection elements are identical to Berry connections[18][19], and were shown to be zero in the case of UBLG [13]. However, in the presence of a non-zero bias, the intraband connections do not vanish. They are given explicitly by
+
+cbc(k)
+
+=
+
+S Eb vc(k),
+
+(18)
+
+vbv(k) = -cbc(k).
+
+To calculate the full nonlinear response of BBLG, we also require the expressions for the biased interband and intraband connection elements around the K -Dirac point. Explicitly, these are given by
+
+vbc (K
+

+k)

+
+cbc (K + k) = -cbc (K + k) ,
+
+(20)
+
+vbv (K + k) = -vbv (K + k) ,
+
+respectively. Thus, we find that the ^-component of the interband connection element, vbc(k), changes sign as we move from K  K , but the k^-component does not. We
+also find that both of the intraband connection elements
+change sign upon moving from K  K , as they only have components in the ^ direction.
+
+II.3. Berry Curvature
+The non-zero intraband connection elements lead directly to non-zero Berry curvatures of the respective bands. This is one of the factors that makes BBLG an interesting system to study. To calculate the Berry curvature of the conduction and valence bands, we simply
+
+5
+
+need to take the curl of the Berry connections of these bands: nn(k) = k � nb n(k). Explicitly, for the conduction band, we obtain for the Berry curvature around
+the K-point,
+
+S cc(k) = k � Eb vc(k),
+
+-S = 4Eb3~3
+
+2tEb2 + E0(2~ - t)(~ + t)
+
+z^.
+
+(21)
+
+From the relationship we have between the Berry connec-
+
+tions of the conduction and valence bands, we see that
+
+cc(k) = -vv(k). As a check, we can determine the
+
+Berry curvature in the limit of very small electron mo-
+
+mentum k. One can show in this limit that Eq. (21)
+
+reduces to
+
+2k2
+
+2
+
+lim cc(k) = -
+k0
+
+(k4 + 22)3/2 + 2
+
+z^,
+
+(22)
+
+where  = t/ vF , and  = a/ vF . The above approximation predicts a non-zero Berry curvature at the Dirac point, i.e., when k is zero. We find explicitly that it reduces to the value 2 2vF2 /t2 at the Dirac point, irrespective of the strength of the bias. We can see this in Fig. 2 where we plot Eq. (21) vs. the electron momentum for two different bias values. This differs from other calculations of the Berry curvature found in the literature, where the curvature is predicted to go to zero at the Dirac point[35]. Note that there is no contradiction in this because when a  0, the bands touch and so there is an ambiguity as to what the (degenerate) states are at k = 0. We will see later that the Berry curvature contributes a first order, anomalous contribution to the intraband current density around each Dirac point, as mentioned in the introduction.
+
+FIG. 2. Absolute value of the Berry curvature of the conduc-
+tion band in BBLG near the Dirac point. Results are given by
+Eq. (21), shown for biases of 4 and 40 meV. Each curvature has the value 2 2vF2 /t2 at the Dirac point ( k = 0), shown by the dotted black line.
+
+II.4. Current Density
+
+In order to calculate the current density in BBLG, we require the dynamic equations for the reduced density matrix elements. The dynamic equations for BBLG take the same form as those of UBLG [13] and are given by
+
+dnm(k)
+
+=
+
+e i E(t)
+
+�
+
+dt
+
+(nb l(k)lm(k) - nl(k)lbm(k))
+

+
+e - E(t) �
+
+knm(k) - inm(k)(nb n(k) - mb m(k))
+
+- inm(k)nm(k)
+
+- nm (k) - nmenqm(k) , nm (23)
+where n, m = {c, v}, nm(k) = [Enb (k) - Emb (k)]/ , and enqm(k) = fn(k, T )nm is the carrier population in equilibrium when n = m, and is zero otherwise; fn(k, T ) is
+the Fermi-Dirac distribution with a temperature T. In
+
+our numerical work, we model the populations of valence
+
+band vacancies (hh(k)) rather than valence band electrons (vv(k)), as this allows us to only include states near the Dirac point, which greatly reduces computa-
+
+tion time. The relationship between the two is simply,
+
+hh(k) = 1 - vv(k). Because scattering times in graphene are on the or-
+
+der of tens of femtoseconds [27][28], to accurately model
+
+the THz response we must take into account scattering
+
+processes. Following the approach used for MLG and
+
+UBLG[11, 13], we treat scattering phenomenologically.
+
+We introduce an interband decoherence time, nm, for the interband coherences, nm(k), where n = m. We assume the decoherence time to be independent of k. The
+
+populations, nn(k), we take to relax back to Fermi-Dirac thermal distributions, fn(k, T ), with relaxation times, n. As the simulation proceeds, we adjust the temperature of the Fermi-Dirac distribution so that the carri-
+
+ers relax to the correct total carrier populations at each
+
+time-step. We neglect interband relaxation since the time
+
+taken for the conduction band electrons to relax to the
+
+valence band is much longer than intraband scattering
+
+times[36].
+
+In our simulations we use a direct computational ap-
+
+proach to solve the above equations. To do so we put
+
+k on a grid and step through time using a Runge-Kutta
+
+algorithm. To facilitate this, we make use of balanced
+
+difference approximations to the gradients. Given the
+
+geometry of the graphene lattice and Brillouin zone, we
+
+employ a hexagonal grid with a uniform point density in
+
+k space.
+
+The expression for the current density in BBLG can
+
+now be determined using the dynamic equations for the
+
+density matrix elements. Following the formalism of
+
+Aversa and Sipe[34] the current density can be expressed
+
+as
+
+e
+
+J(t) = Tr {p(t)} .
+

+Using

+
+the

+
+n, k | [re, H] (t) |n, k ,
+
+nk
+
+where the trace is over the single electron states, and (t) is the reduced density matrix with matrix elements nm(k). The decomposition of the position operator allows us to define the total current density as the sum of an intraband contribution, Ji, and an interband contribution, Je. Using our effective Hamiltonian, as well as the matrix elements of the position operator (Eq. 13), one may determine expressions for these contributions. The procedure is similar to that presented in recent work on MLG and UBLG[13, 37]. After considerable work, the intraband current density near the Dirac point can be shown to be given by
+
+e Ji =
+
+kEcb1 (k) - eE � c1c1 (k) (cc(k) + hh(k))

+
+Re cv(k) (E � k) vbc(k)
+
+k
+
+- 2Im cv(k) E � cbc(k) vbc(k) , (26)
+
+where we have defined
+
+(k)  k - 2cbc(k) � vbc(k).
+
+(27)
+
+Next, we calculate the interband current density by taking the time derivative of the polarization density,
+
+Je
+
+=
+
+dPe , dt
+
+(28)
+
+where the polarization density is given by
+
+this degeneracy. However, in the case of BBLG, due to the nature of the connection elements and density matrix elements, it is not immediately obvious whether the current densities around each unique Dirac point are identical or not. To deal with this, in our simulation, we calculate the current densities around each individual Dirac point and combine the contributions.
+We consider a suspended graphene sample such as employed in experiments on MLG[28], and use the timedependent current densities to calculate the transmitted and the reflected THz fields, using a procedure identical to that used for MLG[37]. We have verified convergence in the nonlinear regime by changing the grid density, the extent of the grid, the time-step tolerance, and the polarization of the incident field.
+
+II.5. Linear Response
+
+Before considering the nonlinear response of BBLG, we first examine the linear response to an incident THz field. In order to calculate the linear response we need to calculate expressions for the first order density matrix elements. Once we have these, we may then use Eq. (26) to express the first order intraband current density as
+
+Ji(1) = 2e

+
+(c1c)(k) + (h1h)(k)
+
++ eE � cc(k) (c0c)(k) + (h0h)(k) .
+(30) Here we have included the factor of 2 to account for spin degeneracy. We have also defined the difference between the zeroth order populations near the K and K -points as
+
+(n0n)(k) = (n0n)(K+k) - (n0n)(K +k), (31)
+
+and the sum of the first order populations near the K and K -points as
+
+(n1n)(k) = (n1n)(K+k) + (n0n)(K +k).
+
+(32)
+
+Pe = 2e Re vbc(k)cv(k) .
+
+(29)
+
+k
+
+This procedure is different than what is proposed in Eq. (24), and ultimately allows for the simplest calculation of the interband current density.
+The sums over k in the expressions for the intraband and interband current densities are restricted to a region near the K-Dirac point. We also need to take into account the current density near the K point. For MLG and UBLG, we found that due to the symmetry of the Brillouin zone, the current densities around both Dirac points are identical[13, 37]. To obtain the total current density in these cases, we simply multiplied the results calculated at the K-point by two in order to account for
+
+It is well known that if the band structure of a crystalline solid has a non-zero Berry curvature, the electrons in those bands will acquire a component to their velocity that is transverse to an applied electric field [19]. This component is commonly known as the anomalous velocity. We can see in Eq. (30) that there is a component of the intraband current density that is perpendicular to the direction of the field, the magnitude of which is proportional to the Berry curvature of the conduction band, cc(k). This contribution arises from the anomalous velocity of the electrons, and is equivalent to a Hall current. We see that there is a first order contribution to the anomalous intraband current density around each individual Dirac point, however, the full anomalous contribution goes to zero because the zeroth order population
+
+7
+
+difference, given by Eq.(31), vanishes. In this situation, the sum of the populations at each Dirac point, given by Eq. (32), goes to twice the population at one of the points. If one were able to introduce through optical or electrical means a population difference between the carriers at the two Dirac points so that Eq.(31) is non-zero, there exists the ability to change the direction and magnitude of the anomalous current contribution.
+As the anomalous contribution to the intraband current density goes to zero to first order, the sole first order contribution is due to the first term in Eq. (30). The first order populations of the conduction and valence bands, (n1n)(k), are proportional to the gradients of their respective Fermi-Dirac distributions, fn(k, T ). We can use this relationship to integrate Eq. (30) by parts. By changing the integration variable from k to ~ (k)  ~(k) - t, we arrive at our final expression for the first order intraband current density:
+
+
+
+Ji(1) = C(p)
+
+d~

+
+(~ + t)3
+
+� e-Eb + cosh(Eb) . cosh(EF ) + cosh(Eb) (33)
+Here we have defined the variable Ei  E0(~ + t) - 2S2 for simplicity. Also,  = kBT and EF is the Fermi level of the system. C(p) is a time and frequency-dependent coefficient that includes the electric field:
+
+C (p )
+
+=
+
+i|e|2E (p) e-ipt , 2 2 (p + i/c)
+
+and we take our field to be harmonic,
+
+E (t) = E (p) e-ipt.
+
+It is possible to show that in the limit that a  0, Eq. (33) is identical to the expression for the UBLG case [13].
+We follow the same approach for the interband current as we did for the intraband current; calculate the current near each Dirac point, then determine the contribution from both points combined. The first order polarization density near the K-point is given by Eqs. (29) and (16):

+
+where we have included the factor of 2 to account for spin degeneracy. The first order matrix element describing the coherence between conduction and valence band is given explicitly by,

+
+eE � cbv(k)e-ipt (cv(k) - p - i/cv)
+
+(v0v) (k) - (c0c)(k)
+
+.
+
+(35)
+
+Here cv(k) = [Ecb(k) - Evb(k)]/ = 2Eb(k)/ , and the (n0n)(k) are the zeroth order populations of the conduction
+
+and valence bands. From Eq. (35), we can see that the
+
+first order coherence is proportional to the dot-product of
+
+the electric field with the interband connection element:
+
+E � cbv(k). As such, when converting the sum into an
+

+
+we must take care when calculating the integral over the

+
+larization density, let us define vbc(k)  R(k)^ - iI(k)k^, where R(k) and I(k) are the amplitudes of the real and imaginary parts of vbc(k), respectively,

+
+Eq. (41) is interesting in the sense that even to first order, the incident field should induce an interband polarization density which has a component that is perpendicular to the direction of the field. There is therefore an anomalous interband current density around the Kpoint.
+Finally, by changing the integration variable from k to ~ (k), and putting in the full expression for vbc(k) given in Eq. (16), we obtain for the positive frequency portion of the interband polarization density around the K-point,
+
+Pe(1)(K) =  (p)(1)E (p) e-ipt,
+

+
+Here we have suppressed the explicit k-dependencies for simplicity. In the limit that a  0 (zero bias), we have that Eb  E0, and S  0. Therefore we recover the polarization density due to the low energy bands in UBLG[13].
+Identical to the cancellation of the anomalous intraband current contribution in Eq. (30), when we include both the K and K -point contributions to the interband current density, the anomalous interband current in Eq. (41) goes to zero when the contributions from around both Dirac points are added. This is due to the fact that I(k) has the same sign at each Dirac point but R(k) flips sign, resulting in the zeroth order population difference between K and K -points (Eq. (31)) which is zero. Thus, our full expression for the first order interband polarization should only include the diagonal elements of the susceptibility matrix,  (p)(1), multiplied by two to account for both Dirac points.
+
+8
+
+From the polarization density, it is simple to obtain an expression for the full first order interband current density including both K and K -point contributions. By taking a derivative with respect to time of Eq.(43), we have
+
+Je(1) = -2ip (p)(1)E (p) e-ipt =  (p)(1)E (p) e-ipt,
+
+(47)
+
+where the first order conductivity matrix is given by  (p)(1) = -2ip (p)(1), and only the diagonal elements of the susceptibility matrix contribute, given by Eqs. (44) and (46). The factor of two is due to the contribution from both Dirac points. We can now use Eq. (47) to compare to our computer simulation for low field amplitudes. We present the results of our simulations in the next section.
+
+III. SIMULATION RESULTS
+As was done for the case of UBLG [13], we employ a computer simulation to investigate the nonlinear response of BBLG to THz radiation. One of the major advantages provided by the simulation in the case of BBLG is its ability to examine the dependency of the nonlinear response on the size of the gap between the conduction and valence bands. This band gap is controlled via the external bias. Not only will interband transitions be affected by the gap size (due to the resonance frequency being gap dependent), intraband transitions will also be affected by the distortion of the bands (sombrero feature). The fields transmitted and reflected from the BBLG are calculated as a function of the current densities and the incident field. These fields are then spectrally analyzed to determine their frequency components. A signature of nonlinear behavior is the observation of high harmonic generation in the spectral composition.
+The results of the simulation for low field amplitudes are presented first. We compare these to our first order analytic expressions by showing the agreement between the linear conductivity calculated via both methods. Finally, we present simulation results which examine the higher order response of BBLG in the presence of an external bias, including both doped and undoped systems.
+
+III.1. Linear Results
+To begin, we compare the real part of the conductivity due to the interband current density, calculated by both the computer simulation and the closed form expression, Eq. (47), for bias values of 4 meV and 40 meV. This comparison is shown in Fig. 3 . Since we are comparing an undoped sample, the conductivity associated with intraband transitions is found to be highly suppressed due to the presence of the gap and so we do not include its contribution here. In both cases the scattering time is 50 fs and the temperature is 100 K. As our model for
+
+9
+
+BBLG is an effective two-band model, the features we see in the plot are due solely to transitions between the lower energy conduction and valence bands. One would expect the full four-band model to include features associated with the higher energy transitions - as we see in the case of UBLG [13]. In our case, we find that as the incident frequency goes to zero, the conductivity is zero for both bias values. As we increase the incident frequency (measured in THz), we find that the conductivity rises as we approach the resonance of the gap, and ultimately reaches a final value as we increase the frequency further.
+
+UBLG leads to a peak in the conductivity at that resonant frequency (75 THz) [13]. Finally, at even higher frequencies, the conductivity for a=40 meV reduces to the same value as found for a=4 meV. This value is given by 0.50, where 0 is the universal conductivity of UBLG, given by e2/2 . The reason it does not approach the full universal conductivity at high frequencies is due to the fact our model only considers the transition between the bands v2 and c1. The high-frequency limit of e2/4 is the same as that found for UBLG when we take into account only the low energy transitions[13]. If one were to include all the contributions from the higher energy transitions, the interband conductivity should approach 0 in the limit of large THz frequencies.
+
+III.2. Nonlinear Results
+
+FIG. 3. Comparison of the real part of the interband conductivity calculated by computer simulation and numerical integration of the closed form expression (Eq.(47)). Comparison is made at T =100 K, EF =0, and  =50 fs. Two different gap sizes are shown, resulting from a=4 meV and a=40 meV . Conductivity is measured in units of the universal conductivity of UBLG, 0 = e2/2 .
+The gap size of 8 meV (a=4meV), is approximately equivalent in energy to the photons in a 2 THz pulse. However, at a temperature of 100 K, the thermal energy of the carriers is also approximately 8 meV- equal to the size of the gap. Thus, the interband conductivity at this bias will be affected by thermal populations as well as the THz field driven transitions. We can compare this to the interband conductivity for a gap size of 80 meV (a=40 meV). A gap size of this value has a resonance frequency of approximately 20 THz. Due to this gap size being an order of magnitude greater than that for a=4 meV, the number of carriers injected by the THz field will be greatly reduced for low photon energies. This leads to a large suppression of the conductivity at lower frequencies compared to the 8 meV gap. Additionally, for a=40 meV we see a sharp rise in the conductivity at approximately 20 THz, which is resonant with the size of the gap. This feature is much more sharply peaked than the resonance feature for a=4 meV. This is due to the fact that the conduction and valence bands visibly flatten as the external bias is increased (see Fig. 1). This flattening leads to a larger number of states being available for the interband transition at this resonant frequency, which increases the spectral weight associated with this transition. This is similar to how the nesting of the conduction bands in
+
+We now present the results of our full simulations for the nonlinear THz response of BBLG. We have performed simulations for both doped and undoped samples. For the doped case, the incident field amplitude is held fixed and the external bias is set at a number of different values. As we increase the bias, we must increase the Fermi level in order to maintain a consistent carrier density for each case. This allows for a direct evaluation of how THG is affected by the band distortion. For undoped BBLG, we examine the response for a single bias of a=2 meV. In this case we keep the bias fixed and adjust the incident field amplitude. From these undoped results we can determine at which field amplitude we expect to observe the largest THG.
+In our simulations for both doped and undoped BBLG, we take the temperature to be 10 K and the scattering time to be 50 fs, which is a conservative value for the temperatures being considered. Our incident field is a sinusoidal Gaussian pulse with central frequency of 1 THz and full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 1 ps. This may be represented mathematically as

+sin [2f0(t - t0)] ,
+
+(48)
+
+where t0 is the temporal shift and TF W HM is the full width at half maximum of the Gaussian pulse. The central frequency of the pulse is given by f0.
+For our undoped BBLG simulation, the external bias of a=2 meV corresponds to a band gap of 4 meV. The resonant frequency of a band gap this size is approximately 1 THz. Since the incident frequency of our field is on resonance with the band gap, we expect a significant interband current density. However, in the doped case we expect the interband current density to be diminished due to the large Fermi level of the system; the intraband current density will instead be dominant. These two distinct systems allow us to examine both the interband and intraband contributions to the nonlinear response of BBLG. We shall begin by looking at the undoped case.

+
+III.2.1. Undoped BBLG: a=2 meV
+We begin by looking at the response of BBLG to incident THz fields with amplitudes ranging from 1.0-2.5 kV/cm, in the presence of an external bias, a=2 meV. In order to do so, we examine the interband and intraband current densities at these field amplitudes, followed by the reflected field and the spectral composition of this field (which is dependent on the current densities). In Fig. 4 we plot the interband and intraband current densities for four different incident field amplitudes (1.0, 1.5, 2.0, and 2.5 kV/cm). All current densities are normalized to the incident field such that, if the response were linear, these relative currents would be unchanged by an increase in incident field. This procedure allows for a comparison between the current densities at each field amplitude, as well as for the clear identification of any nonlinear behavior. In what follows, we refer to these as relative current densities. The relative intraband and interband current densities at these field amplitudes are shown in Figs. 4a and 4b, respectively.
+
+imately Je/Ji 0.5 for an incident field of 1.0 kV/cm [13], i.e. the interband current density is half that of the intraband. However, for BBLG we find that Je/Ji 4.0 for the 1.0 kV/cm field, i.e. the interband current density is approximately four times larger than the intraband. Thus, because it opens up a band gap, the application of an external bias allows us to control which current is dominant. Because the interband current contains most of the nonlinearity, we might expect that the application of this bias will increase the overall nonlinear response.
+We can see the effect that the interband and intraband currents have on the nonlinear response of BBLG by looking at the reflected field, as well as its spectral composition. The normalized time-dependent reflected fields for the different field amplitudes (1.0, 1.5, 2.0, and 2.5 kV/cm) are shown in Fig. 5a, and the spectral responses normalized to the peak amplitude of the reflected field at the fundamental frequency (1 THz) are presented in Fig. 5b.
+
+FIG. 4. Response of BBLG to a incident field of 1 THz at a number of field amplitudes and a bias a=2 meV. a) Intraband current density normalized to incident field amplitude. b) Interband current density normalized to incident field amplitude.
+Let us first examine the intraband current density. We see that as the field amplitude is increased, the intraband current density also increases. This is similar to the behavior of the intraband current density in MLG[11]. This increase arises due to the increase in carrier density from the interband injection of carriers. Since the photons in our 1 THz pulse are essentially resonant on the band gap of 4 meV, this injection of carriers is expected. We present the interband current density for BBLG in Fig. 4b. We clearly see large distortions in the interband current for all of the field amplitudes. Similar to what we observed in our earlier work for the UBLG case[13], we find that as the incident field increases, there is a decrease in the relative interband current density.
+We can also see the effect the external bias has on the ratio of the interband and intraband current densities. For UBLG we found that the ratio of interband to intraband current densities at peak amplitude was approx-

Response of BBLG to a incident field of 1 THz at a number of field amplitudes and a bias of a=2 meV. a) The reflected field in the temporal domain, normalized to the amplitude of the incident field. Value of Er/E0 is multiplied by 100 for clarity. b) The amplitude spectra of the reflected signal normalized to the peak at the fundamental frequency of 1 THz.
+In Fig. 5a we can see large distortion in the reflected fields for all of the field amplitudes. Furthermore, from the ratio of the current densities given above, it appears that the reflected field for BBLG is dominated by the interband current density, while for UBLG it is dominated by the intraband current density.
+We can see how the differences in the current ratios in biased and unbiased BLG might affect the nonlinear response by looking at the spectral composition of the reflected field for BBLG, in Fig. 5b. We find that at the lowest field amplitude of 1.0 kV/cm, we have a third harmonic signal of approximately 38% of the reflected spectral peak at the fundamental, which corresponds to an amplitude of 0.06% with respect to the fundamental in the incident field. The incident field of 2.0 kV/cm induces the largest third harmonic generation. At this amplitude, we find a maximum in the third harmonic of approximately 45% the spectral peak at the fundamental (0.07% of the fundamental in the incident field). For
+
+11
+
+larger field amplitudes the third harmonic is found to decrease again. This value of 45% of the reflected fundamental is significantly larger than the maximum of 30% we found in the UBLG case for a 1 THz pulse[13]. It is also larger than the value of 32% found for the third harmonic in MLG under the same conditions[11]. At these higher field amplitudes we also see the presence of a 5th harmonic, which reaches a maximum amplitude of approximately 27% of the fundamental in the reflected field (0.03% of the fundamental in the incident field) for the incident amplitude of 2.5 kV/cm.
+The fact that the interband current density plays a dominant role in determining the reflected field in BBLG, may explain the difference between THG in the BBLG and UBLG cases. The nonlinearity is greater in the interband current density, so that when the reflected field is dominated by the interband response, its spectral composition will have a greater percentage of high frequency components. This would explain why we see such a large third harmonic amplitude in the reflected field of BBLG. It also underscores the importance of the interplay between the intraband and interband current densities in producing THG.
+We shall next look at the results of simulations for doped BBLG. In this case the response will be due primarily to the intraband current.

+
+III.2.2. Doped BBLG: E0 = 50 kV/cm
+In this section, we examine the case of doped BBLG. We take the incident field to be the 1 THz pulse given by Eq. (48), with an amplitude of 50 kV/cm. Instead of adjusting the field amplitude as we did for the undoped BBLG simulations, we will adjust the external bias value. We choose four different values of the bias at which to run simulations. These values provide us with a wide range of band structures, allowing us to determine what effect - if any - the curvature of the band has on the nonlinear behavior of doped BBLG. The structure of the conduction band is shown in Fig. 6 for the four different biases for which we ran simulations. Also shown in the same figure is the band structure of MLG (dotted black line), which has the characteristic linear dependence on the crystal momentum. As can been seen, the four bias values result in four distinct band structures. For a=0 meV, we recover the band structure of UBLG. At a=50 meV we see that a gap has been introduced, and there has been some flattening of the band structure. At a=150 meV we can clearly start to see the onset of the sombrero feature. For the largest bias of a=200 meV, the sombrero feature is well defined and the band gap is now very apparent. For each of these bias values the charge carrier density is held fixed at a value of 2.0 � 1012/cm2. Of course, for these simulations the size of the gap will not be as important since we are interested in mainly the intraband dynamics. However, the sombrero feature should be of great interest in this analysis.
+Since the interband current density in essentially neg-

Intraband current density normalized to incident field amplitude is shown.The dotted black line shows intraband current density of MLG under identical conditions.
+ligible for the doping level considered, in Fig. 7 we only plot the relative intraband current densities for the four bias values. We also include the relative intraband current density of MLG for the same carrier concentration for comparison. One thing we notice is that as the bias is increased, the relative intraband current density decreases. From a maximum amplitude of approximately 350 �S at zero external bias, to a maximum of approximately 250 �S at a bias of 200 meV. The maximum relative current density in MLG at this carrier density is approximately 400 �S. It is also quite easy to see the presence of distortion in the intraband current density, for each of the bias values. The shape of this distortion appears to be similar for all biases considered. One might expect the distortions at the higher bias values (150 & 200 meV) to be of a different nature than those at lower biases. This expectation is based on the sombrero feature being present for large bias values. Certainly the motion of the electrons in the conduction band - which is the basis for our intraband current density - should be affected by this feature.
+We can visualize the effect the sombrero feature has on the intraband motion via a plot of the electron density in the conduction band, as shown in Fig. 8. For this simu-

+lation we used the bias value of a=150 meV, with which we are clearly able to see the sombrero feature present when the carriers are in equilibrium in Fig. 8a. Here we see that the density of carriers in the conduction band appears as a 'Fermi ring' in k-space. We are interested in what happens to the Fermi ring during the interaction with the incident THz field. In Fig. 8b we see the density at approx t=1.55 ps, after half of the incident pulse has passed. In this instant the distribution of carriers in the conduction band is driven to the left of the Dirac point by the incident field. What is interesting, is that the population has been 'split' in two by the sombrero feature; with half the carriers going above the feature, and half below. Fig. 8c shows the distribution at t=1.75 ps , at what is essentially its farthest position to the left of the Dirac point. We can see that as the carriers are driven passed the sombrero feature, they begin to merge again on the far side of it. Finally, in Fig. 8d we see the distribution at t=2.00 ps, when the carriers are moving back towards the Dirac point, and are in the process of forming the ring structure once again. The distribution then settles back into thermal equilibrium (Fig. 8a) once the pulse leaves the system. Once again, we can determine the effect this 'splitting' of the carrier density has on the nonlinear behavior by looking at the the normalized time-dependent reflected fields for the different bias values, shown in Fig. 9a, along with the spectral responses normalized to the peak amplitude at the fundamental frequency (1 THz), shown in Fig. 9b.
+Looking at first the reflected field, we see that it is almost 180 degrees out of phase with the intraband current density; which is expected since the interband current is negligible in this case. The maximum amplitude occurs at a bias of a=0 meV, i.e when no external bias is present. The value obtained is approximately 3.5 kV/cm for an incident field of 50 kV/cm. We can compare this with the maximum value of 4.0 kV/cm found in MLG at the same incident field amplitude. In terms of the

+visual distortions in the reflected field, the sombrero feature surprisingly had little effect, other than to decrease the overall maximum amplitude. The shape of the distortions is relatively the same for all bias values (and even MLG).
+We can determine the nonlinear behavior by examining the spectral composition of the reflected fields for these bias values. This is shown in Fig. 9b. It is immediately clear from this plot that the maximum third harmonic, normalized to the peak amplitude at the fundamental frequency (1 THz), is given by the response of MLG; the maximum value is approximately 10% of the fundamental in the reflected field. This may not be too surprising, as the linear band structure of MLG has been shown to produce highly nonlinear effects [11][37][12]. More surprising, is the fact that the second largest third harmonic amplitude ( 8% of the reflected fundamental) arises from the case of zero external bias - or the UBLG system. This is surprising in the sense that one would think the sombrero feature - and the splitting effect it has on the intraband motion - would lead to THG that is greater than would be seen in the absence of this feature. This does not seem to be the case for the third harmonic at least, as the bias values of 150 and 200 meV correspond to third harmonic amplitudes of approximately 6% and 7% of the fundamental amplitude in the reflected field, respectively.
+However, for all of the bias values considered in the doped case, we find that the ratio of the third harmonic amplitude to the fundamental amplitude in the incident field is larger than that found in the undoped case. This is due to the fact that the ratio of the reflected field to the incident field is almost two orders of magnitude larger in the doped case ( Fig. 9a). Specifically, we find that for the four different bias values - a = 0, 50, 150 and 200 meV - the third harmonic amplitudes are approximately 0.56%, 0.40%, 0.25%, and 0.30% of the funda-

+IV. SUMMARY
+We have presented the dynamic equations and results of simulations of the nonlinear response of undoped and doped BBLG at THz frequencies. The central goal of this work was to determine the role that the external bias plays in the nonlinear response. To model the response, a theoretical model was developed based on the dynamic equations of density matrix elements within the basis of an effective Hamiltonian. This allowed for the calculation of the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of BBLG, as well as the interband connection elements, Berry connections and Berry curvatures of the band structure. Expressions for interband and intraband current densities were also derived.
+Solutions to the density matrix dynamic equations were determined through the use of simulation. These solutions were then applied to the study of high harmonic generation in undoped and doped BBLG for a number of external bias values. The undoped system allowed us to investigate the interplay between interband and intraband dynamics, and what effect it has on THG. The doped system allowed us to determine whether or not the unique band structure of BBLG - specifically the
+
+sombrero feature - has any influence on the nonlinear behavior.
+Our results show that for undoped BBLG, the largest third harmonic amplitude for a 1 THz single-cycle pulse was found to be 45% of the peak fundamental amplitude in the reflected field (0.07% of the fundamental in the incident field) for an external bias of 2 meV. We also found that the ratio of the interband and intraband current densities is affected by the value of the external bias, and that this ratio may play an important role in THG. Finally, we showed that for a doped system, the amplitude of the third harmonic reaches a maximum of 8% of the fundamental in the reflected field (0.56% of the fundamental in the incident field) for zero bias, and decreases as we increase the external bias.
+To experimentally observe the high harmonics we predict for BBLG, one must consider the dynamic range of the THz spectrometers - defined as the ratio of the frequency dependent signal strength to the detected noise floor[38]. For a 1 THz incident field of 1.0 kV/cm, we find the peak amplitude of the reflected field from undoped BBLG to be approximately 1.7 V/cm (55 dB less than the incident field). Thus, a detection technique that allows for a dynamic range larger than 55 dB is required for the measurement of the reflected signal. This can be achieved, as a very high dynamic range of 90 dB has recently been reported[39].

+ABSTRACT
+This paper develops tests of the null hypothesis of linearity in the context of autoregressive models with Markov-switching means and variances. These tests are robust to the identification failures that plague conventional likelihood-based inference methods. The approach exploits the moments of normal mixtures implied by the regime-switching process and uses Monte Carlo test techniques to deal with the presence of an autoregressive component in the model specification. The proposed tests have very respectable power in comparison to the optimal tests for Markov-switching parameters of Carrasco et al. (2014) and they are also quite attractive owing to their computational simplicity. The new tests are illustrated with an empirical application to an autoregressive model of U.S. output growth.

+1 Introduction
+The extension of the linear autoregressive model proposed by Hamilton (1989) allows the mean and variance of a time series to depend on the outcome of a latent process, assumed to follow a Markov chain. The evolution over time of the latent state variable gives rise to an autoregressive process with a mean and variance that switch according to the transition probabilities of the Markov chain. Hamilton (1989) applies the Markov-switching model to U.S. output growth rates and argues that it encompasses the linear specification. This class of models has also been used to model potential regime shifts in foreign exchange rates (Engel and Hamilton, 1990), stock market volatility (Hamilton and Susmel, 1994), real interest rates (Garcia and Perron, 1996), corporate dividends (Timmermann, 2001), the term structure of interest rates (Ang and Bekaert, 2002b), portfolio allocation (Ang and Bekaert, 2002a), and government policy (Davig, 2004). A comprehensive treatment of Markov-switching models and many references are found in Kim and Nelson (1999), and more recent surveys of this class of models are provided by Guidolin (2011) and Hamilton (2016).
+A fundamental question in the application of such models is whether the data-generating process is indeed characterized by regime changes in its mean or variance. Statistical testing of this hypothesis poses serious difficulties for conventional likelihood-based methods because two important assumptions underlying standard asymptotic theory are violated under the null hypothesis of no regime change. Indeed, if a two-regime model is fitted to a single-regime linear process, the parameters which describe the second regime are unidentified. Moreover, the derivative of the likelihood function with respect to the mean and variance are identically zero when evaluated at the constrained maximum under both the null and alternative hypotheses. These difficulties combine features of the statistical problems discussed in Davies (1977, 1987), Watson and Engle (1985), and Lee and Chesher (1986). The end result is that the information matrix is singular under the null hypothesis, and the usual likelihood-ratio test does not have an asymptotic chi-squared distribution in this case. Conventional likelihood-based inference in the context of Markov-switching models can thus be very misleading in practice. Indeed, the simulation results reported by Psaradakis and Sola (1998) reveal just how poor the first-order asymptotic approximations to the finite-sample distribution of the maximum-likelihood estimates can be.
+Hansen (1992, 1996) and Garcia (1998) proposed likelihood-ratio tests specifically tailored to deal with the kind of violations of the regularity conditions which arise in Markov-switching models. Their methods differ in terms of which parameters are considered of interest and those taken as nuisance parameters. Both methods require a search over the intervening nuisance parameter space with an evaluation of the Markov-switching likelihood function at each considered grid point, which makes them computationally expensive. Carrasco et al. (2014) derive asymptotically optimal tests for Markov-switching parameters. These information matrix-type tests only require estimating the model under the null hypothesis, which is a clear advantage over Hansen (1992, 1996) and Garcia (1998). However, the asymptotic distribution of the optimal tests is not free of nuisance parameters, so Carrasco et al. (2014) suggest a parametric bootstrap procedure to find the critical values.
+In this paper, we propose new tests for Markov-switching models which, just like the Carrasco et al. (2014) tests, circumvent the statistical problems and computational costs of likelihood-based methods. Specifically, we first propose computationally simple test statistics � based on least-squares residual moments � for the hypothesis of no Markov-switching (or linearity) in autoregressive models. The residual moment statistics considered include statistics focusing on the mean, variance,
+1
+
+skewness, and excess kurtosis of estimated least-squares residuals. The different statistics are combined through the minimum or the product of approximate marginal p-values.
+Second, we exploit the computational simplicity of the test statistics to obtain exact and asymptotically valid test procedures, which do not require deriving the asymptotic distribution of the test statistics and automatically deal with the identification difficulties associated with such models. Even if the distributions of these combined statistics may be difficult to establish analytically, the level of the corresponding test is perfectly controlled. This is made possible through the use of Monte Carlo (MC) test methods. When no new nuisance parameter appears in the null distribution of the test statistic, such methods allow one to control perfectly the level of a test, irrespective of the distribution of the test statistic, as long as the latter can be simulated under the null hypothesis; see Dwass (1957), Barnard (1963), Birnbaum (1974), and Dufour (2006). This feature holds for a fixed number of replications, which can be quite small. For example, 19 replications of the test statistic are sufficient to obtain a test with exact level .05. A larger number of replications decreases the sensitivity of the test to the underlying randomization and typically leads to power gains. Dufour et al. (2004), however, find that increasing the number of replications beyond 100 has only a small effect on power.
+Further, when nuisance parameters are present � as in the case of linearity tests studied here � the procedure can be extended through the use of maximized Monte Carlo (MMC) tests (Dufour, 2006). Two variants of this procedure are described: a fully exact version which requires maximizing a p-value function over the nuisance parameter space under the null hypothesis (here, the autoregressive coefficients), and an approximate one based on a (potentially much smaller) consistent set estimator of the autoregressive parameters. Both procedures are valid (in finite samples or asymptotically) without any need to establish the asymptotic distribution of the fundamental test statistics (here residual moment-based statistics) or the convergence of the empirical distribution of the simulated test statistics toward the asymptotic distribution of the fundamental test statistic used (as in bootstrapping).
+When the nuisance-parameter set on which the p-values are computed is reduced to a single point � a consistent estimator of the nuisance parameters under the null hypothesis � the MC test can be interpreted as a parametric bootstrap. The implementation of this type of procedure is also considerably simplified through the use of our moment-based test statistics. It is important to emphasize that evaluating the p-value function is far simpler to do than computing the likelihood function of the Markov-switching model, as required by the methods of Hansen (1992, 1996) and Garcia (1998). The MC tests are also far simpler to compute than the information matrix-type tests of Carrasco et al. (2014), which require a grid search for a supremum-type statistic (or numerical integration for an exponential-type statistic) over a priori measures of the distance between potentially regime-switching parameters and another parameter characterizing the serial correlation of the Markov chain under the alternative.
+Third, we conduct simulation experiments to examine the performance of the proposed tests using the optimal tests of Carrasco et al. (2014) as the benchmark for comparisons. The new moment-based tests are found to perform remarkably well when compared to the asymptotically optimal ones, especially when the variance is subject to regime changes. Finally, the proposed methods are illustrated by revisiting the question of whether U.S. real GNP growth can be described as an autoregressive model with Markov-switching means and variances using the original Hamilton (1989) data set from 1952 to 1984, as well as an extended data set from 1952 to 2010. We find that the empirical evidence does not justify a rejection of the linear model over the period 1952�1984. However, the linear autoregressive model is firmly rejected over the extended time period.
+The paper is organized as follows. Section 2 describes the autoregressive model with Markovswitching means and variances. Section 3 presents the moments of normal mixtures implied by
+2
+
+the regime-switching process and the test statistics we propose to combine for capturing those moments. Section 3 also explains how the MC test techniques can be used to deal with the presence of an autoregressive component in the model specification. Section 4 examines the performance of the developed MC tests in simulation experiments using the optimal tests for Markov-switching parameters of Carrasco et al. (2014) as the benchmark for comparison purposes. Section 5 then presents the results of the empirical application to U.S. output growth and Section 6 concludes.
+
+2 Markov-switching model
+
+We consider an autoregressive model with Markov-switching means and variances defined by
+
+r
+
+yt = �st + k(yt-k - �st-k ) + st t
+
+(1)
+
+k=1
+
+where the innovation terms {t} are independently and identically distributed (i.i.d.) according to
+
+the N (0, 1) distribution. The time-varying mean and variance parameters of the observed variable
+
+yt are functions of a latent first-order Markov chain process {St}. The unobserved random variable
+
+St takes integer values in the set {1, 2} such that Pr(St = j) =
+
+2 i=1
+
+pij
+
+Pr(St-1
+
+=
+
+i),
+
+with
+
+pij = Pr(St = j | St-1 = i). The one-step transition probabilities are collected in the matrix
+
+P=
+
+p11 p12 p21 p22
+
+where
+
+2 j=1
+
+pij
+
+= 1,
+
+for
+
+i = 1, 2.
+
+Furthermore,
+
+St
+
+and
+
+
+
+are
+
+assumed
+
+independent
+
+for
+
+all
+
+t,  .
+
+The model in (1) can also be conveniently expressed as
+
+2
+
+r
+
+2
+
+2
+
+yt = �iI[St = i] + k yt-k - �iI[St-k = i] + iI[St = i]t
+
+(2)
+
+i=1
+
+k=1
+
+i=1
+
+i=1
+
+where I[A] is the indicator function of event A, which is equal to 1 when A occurs and 0 otherwise. Here �i and 2i are the conditional mean and variance given the regime St = i.
+The model parameters are collected in the vector  = (�1, �2, 1, 2, 1, . . . , r, p11, p22). The sample (log) likelihood, conditional on the first r observations of yt, is then given by
+
+T
+
+LT () = log f (yT1 | y0-r+1; ) = log f (yt | yt--r1+1; )
+
+(3)
+
+t=1
+
+where yt-r+1 = {y-r+1, . . . , yt} denotes the sample of observations up to time t, and
+
+2
+
+2
+
+2
+
+f (yt | yt--r1+1; ) =
+
+...
+
+f (yt, St = st, St-1 = st-1, . . . , St-r = st-r | yt--r1+1; ) .
+
+st=1 st-1=1 st-r =1
+
+Hamilton (1989) proposes an algorithm for making inferences about the unobserved state variable St given observations on yt. His algorithm also yields an evaluation of the sample likelihood in (3), which is needed to find the maximum likelihood (ML) estimates of .
+The sample likelihood LT () in (3) has several unusual features which make it notoriously difficult for standard optimizers to explore. In particular, the likelihood function has several modes
+
+3
+
+of equal height. These modes correspond to the different ways of reordering the state labels. There is no difference between the likelihood for �1 = �1 , �2 = �2, 1 = 1, 2 = 2 and the likelihood for �1 = �2 , �2 = �1, 1 = 2, 2 = 1. Rossi (2014, Ch. 1) provides a nice discussion of these issues in the context of normal mixtures, which is a special case implied by (2) when the 's are
+zero. He shows that the likelihood has numerous points where the function is not defined with an
+infinite limit. Furthermore, the likelihood function also has saddle points containing local maxima.
+This means that standard numerical optimizers are likely to converge to a local maximum and will
+therefore need to be started from several points in a constrained parameter space in order to find
+the ML estimates.
+
+3 Tests of linearity
+
+The Markov-switching model in (2) nests the following linear autoregressive (AR) specification as
+
+a special case:
+r
+
+yt = c + kyt-k + 1t,
+
+(4)
+
+k=1
+
+where c = �1(1-
+
+r k=1
+
+k ).
+
+Here
+
+�1
+
+and
+
+21
+
+refer
+
+to
+
+the
+
+single-regime
+
+mean
+
+and
+
+variance
+
+parameters.
+
+It is well known that the conditional ML estimates of the linear model can be obtained from an
+
+ordinary least squares (OLS) regression (Hamilton, 1994, Ch. 5). A problem with the ML approach
+
+is that the likelihood function will always increase when moving from the linear model in (4) to
+
+the two-regime model in (2) as any increase in flexibility is always rewarded. In order to avoid
+
+over-fitting, it is therefore desirable to test whether the linear specification provides an adequate
+
+description of the data.
+
+Given model (2), the null hypothesis of linearity can be expressed as either (�1 = �2, 1 = 2) or (p11 = 1, p21 = 1) or (p12 = 1, p22 = 1). It is easy to see that if (�1 = �2, 1 = 2), then the transition probabilities are unidentified. On the contrary, if (p11 = 1, p21 = 1) then it is �2 and 2 which become unidentified, whereas if (p12 = 1, p22 = 1) then �1 and 1 become unidentified. One of the regularity conditions underlying the usual asymptotic distributional theory of ML estimates
+
+is that the information matrix be nonsingular; see, for example, Gouri�eroux and Monfort (1995,
+
+Ch. 7). Under the null hypothesis of linearity, this condition is violated since the likelihood function
+
+in (3) is flat with respect to the unidentified parameters at the optimum. A singular information
+
+matrix results also from another, less obvious, problem: the derivatives of the likelihood function
+
+with respect to the mean and variance are identically zero when evaluated at the constrained
+
+maximum; see Hansen (1992) and Garcia (1998).
+
+3.1 Mixture model
+
+We begin by considering the mean-variance switching model:
+
+yt = �1I[St = 1] + �2I[St = 2] + 1I[St = 1] + 2I[St = 2] t,
+
+(5)
+
+where t  i.i.d. N (0, 1). The Markov chain governing St is assumed ergodic and we denote the ergodic probability associated with state i by i. Note that a two-state Markov chain is ergodic provided that p11 < 1, p22 < 1, and p11 + p22 > 0 (Hamilton, 1994, p. 683). As we already mentioned, the null hypothesis of linearity (no regime changes) can be expresses as
+
+H0(�, ) : �1 = �2 and 1 = 2,
+
+4
+
+and a relevant alternative hypothesis states that the mean and/or variance is subject to first-order
+Markov-switching. The tests of H0(�, ) we develop exploit the fact that the marginal distribution of yt is a mixture of two normal distributions. Indeed, under the maintained assumption of an ergodic Markov chain we have:
+
+yt  1N (�1, 21) + 2N (�2, 22),
+
+(6)
+
+where 1 = (1 - p22)/(2 - p11 - p22) and 2 = 1 - 1. In the spirit of Cho and White (2007) and Carter and Steigerwald (2012, 2013), the suggested approach ignores the Markov property of St.
+The marginal distribution of yt given in (6) is a weighted average of two normal distributions. Timmermann (2000) shows that the mean (�), unconditional variance (2), skewness coefficient ( b1), and excess kurtosis coefficient (b2) associated with (6) are given by
+
+� = 1�1 + 2�2,
+
+(7)
+
+2 = 121 + 222 + 12(�2 - �1)2,
+
+(8)
+
+b1
+
+=
+
+12(�1 - �2) 3(21 - 22) + (1 - 21)(�2 - �21)2 121 + 222 + 12(�2 - �1)2 3/2
+
+,
+
+(9)
+
+b2
+
+=
+
+a b
+
+,
+
+(10)
+
+where
+
+a = 312(22 - 21)2 + 6(�2 - �1)212(21 - 1)(22 - 21)
+
++12(�2 - �1)4(1 - 612),
+
+b = 121 + 222 + 12(�2 - �1)2 2.
+When compared to a bell-shaped normal distribution, the expressions in (7)�(10) imply that a mixture distribution can be characterized by any of the following features: the presence of two peaks, right or left skewness, or excess kurtosis. The extent to which these characteristics will be manifest depends on the relative values of 1 and 2 by which the component distributions in (6) are weighted, and on the distance between the component distributions. This distance can be characterized by either the separation between the respective means, � = �2 - �1, or by the separation between the respective standard deviations,  = 2 - 1, where we adopt the convention that �2 > �1 and 2 > 1. For example, if  = 0, then the skewness and relative difference between the two peaks of the mixture distribution depends on � and the weights 1 and 2. When 1 = 2, the mixture distribution is symmetric with two modes becoming more distinct as � increases. On the contrary, if � = 0 then the mixture distribution will have heavy tails depending on the difference between the component standard deviations and their relative weights. See Hamilton (1994, Ch. 22), Timmermann (2000), and Rossi (2014, Ch. 1) for more on these effects.
+To test H0(�, ), we propose a combination of four test statistics based on the theoretical moments in (7)�(10). The four individual statistics are computed from the residual vector ^ = (^1, ^2, . . . , ^T ) comprising the residuals ^t = yt - y�, themselves computed as the deviations from the sample mean. Each statistic is meant to detect a specific characteristic of mixture distributions.
+
+5
+
+The first of these statistics is
+
+M (^) = |m2 - m1| ,
+
+(11)
+
+s22 + s21
+
+where
+
+m2 =
+
+T t=1
+
+^tI[^t
+

+
+0]
+
+T t=1
+
+I[^t

+
+s22 =
+
+Tt=1(^t - m2)2I[^t
+
+T t=1
+
+I[^t

+

+

+
+0] ,
+
+and
+
+m1 =
+
+T t=1

+^tI[^t
+

+
+T t=1

+I[^t

+Tt=1(^t - m1)2I[^t
+
+T t=1
+
+I[^t
+
+<
+
+0]
+
+<
+
+0] .
+
+The statistic in (11) is a standardized difference between the means of the observations situated
+
+above the sample mean and those below the sample mean. The next statistic partitions the obser-
+
+vations on the basis of the sample variance ^2 = T -1
+
+T t=1
+
+^2t .
+
+Specifically,
+
+we
+
+consider
+
+V
+
+(^)
+
+=
+
+v2(^) v1(^)
+
+,
+
+(12)
+
+where
+
+v2 =

+v1 =

+

+
+^2]
+
+T t=1
+
+I[^2t
+
+<
+
+^2]
+
+,
+
+so that v2 > v1. Note that we partition on the basis of average values because (6) is a two-component
+
+mixture. The last two statistics are the absolute values of the coefficients of skewness and excess
+
+kurtosis:
+
+S(^) =
+
+T t=1
+
+^3t
+
+T (^2)3/2
+
+(13)
+
+and
+
+K(^) =
+
+T t=1
+
+^4t
+
+T (^2)2
+
+-3
+
+,
+
+(14)
+
+which were also considered in Cho and White (2007). Observe that the statistics in (11)�(14) can
+only be non-negative and are each likely to be larger in value under the alternative hypothesis.
+Taken together, they constitute a potentially useful battery of statistics to test H0(�, ) by capturing characteristics of the first four moments of normal mixtures. As one would expect, the power
+of the tests based on (11)�(14) will generally be increasing with the frequency of regime changes.
+It is easy to see that the statistics in (11)�(14) are exactly pivotal as they all involve ratios and
+can each be computed from the vector of standardized residuals ^/^, which are scale and location invariant under the null of linearity. That is, the vector of statistics (M (^), V (^), S(^), K(^)) is distributed like M (^), V (^), S(^), K(^) , where   N (0, IT ) and ^ =  - �. The null distribution of the proposed test statistics can thus be simulated to any degree of precision, thereby
+paving the way for an MC test as follows.
+First, compute each of the statistics in (11)�(14) with the actual data to obtain (M (^), V (^), S(^), K(^)). Then generate N - 1 mutually independent T � 1 vectors i, i = 1, . . . , N - 1, where i  N (0, IT ). For each such vector compute ^i = (^i1, ^i2, . . . , ^iT ) with typical element ^it = it-i, where i is the sample mean, and compute the statistics in (11)�(14) based on ^i so as to obtain N - 1 statistics vectors (M (^i), V (^i), S(^i), K(^i)), i = 1, . . . , N - 1. Let  denote any one of the above four statistics, 0 its original data-based value, and i, i = 1, . . . , N -1, the corresponding simulated values. The individual MC p-values are then given by
+
+G[0; N ]
+
+=
+
+N
+
++
+
+1
+
+- R[0; N
+
+N],
+
+(15)
+
+6
+
+where R[0; N ] is the rank of 0 when 0, 1, . . . , N-1 are placed in increasing order. The associated MC critical regions are defined as
+
+WN() = R[0; N ]  cN ()
+
+with
+
+cN () = N - I[N ] + 1,
+
+where I[x] denotes the largest integer not exceeding x. These MC critical regions are exact for any given sample size, T . Further discussion and applications of the MC test technique can be found in Dufour and Khalaf (2001) and Dufour (2006).
+Note that the MC p-values GM [M (^); N ], GV [V (^); N ], GS[S(^); N ], and GK[K(^); N ] are not statistically independent and may in fact have a complex dependence structure. Nevertheless, if we choose the individual levels such that M + V + S + K =  then, for T S = {M, V, S, K}, we have by the Boole-Bonferroni inequality:
+
+
+
+
+
+Pr 
+
+WN()  ,
+
+T S
+
+so the induced test, which consists in rejecting H0(�, ) when any of the individual tests rejects, has level . For example, if we set each individual test level at 2.5%, so that we reject if G[0; N ]  2.5% for any   {M, V, S, K}, then the overall probability of committing a Type I error does not exceed 10%. Such Bonferroni-type adjustments, however, can be quite conservative and lead to power losses; see Savin (1984) for a survey of these issues.
+In order to resolve these multiple comparison issues, we propose an MC test procedure based on combining individual p-values. The idea is to treat the combination like any other (pivotal) test statistic for the purpose of MC resampling. As with double bootstrap schemes (MacKinnon, 2009), this approach can be computationally expensive since it requires a second layer of simulations to obtain the p-value of the combined (first-level) p-values. Here though we can ease the computational burden by using approximate p-values in the first level. A remarkable feature of the MC test combination procedure is that it remains exact even if the first-level p-values are only approximate. Indeed, the MC procedure implicitly accounts for the fact that the p-value functions may not be individually exact and yields an overall p-value for the combined statistics which itself is exact. For this procedure, we make use of approximate distribution functions taking the simple logistic form:
+
+F^[x]
+
+=
+
+1
+
+exp(^0 + + exp(^0
+
+^1x) + ^1x)
+
+,
+
+(16)
+
+whose estimated coefficients are given in Table 1 for selected sample sizes. These coefficients were obtained by the method of non-linear least squares (NLS) applied to simulated distribution functions comprising a million draws for each sample size. The approximate p-value of, say, M (^) is then computed as G^M [M (^)] = 1 - F^M [M (^)], where F^M [x] is given by (16) with associated ^'s from Table 1. The other p-values G^V , G^S, G^K are computed in a similar way.
+We consider two methods for combining the individual p-values. The first one rejects the null when at least one of the p-values is sufficiently small so that the decision rule is effectively based on the statistic
+
+Fmin(^) = 1 - min G^M [M (^)], G^V [V (^)], G^S [S(^)], G^K [K(^)] .
+
+(17)
+
+The criterion in (17) was suggested by Tippett (1931) and Wilkinson (1951) for combining inferences obtained from independent studies. The second method, suggested by Fisher (1932) and Pearson
+
+7
+
+(1933), again for independent test statistics, is based on the product (rather than the minimum) of the p-values:
+
+F�(^) = 1 - G^M [M (^)] � G^V [V (^)] � G^S[S(^)] � G^K [K(^)].
+
+(18)
+
+The MC p-value of the combined statistic in (17), for example, is then given by
+
+GFmin [Fmin(^); N ]
+
+=
+
+N
+
++
+
+1
+
+-
+
+RFmin N
+
+[Fmin
+
+(^);
+
+N
+
+]
+
+,
+
+(19)
+
+where RFmin[Fmin(^); N ] is the rank of Fmin(^) when Fmin(^), Fmin(^1), . . . , Fmin(^N-1) are placed in ascending order. Although the statistics which enter into the computation of (17) and (18) may have a rather complex dependence structure, the MC p-values computed as in (19) are provably exact. See Dufour et al. (2004) and Dufour et al. (2014) for further discussion and applications of these test combination methods.
+
+3.2 Autoregressive dynamics
+In this section we extend the proposed MC tests to Markov-switching models with state-independent autoregressive dynamics. To keep the presentation simple, we describe in detail the test procedure in the case of models with a first-order autoregressive component. Models with higher-order autoregressive components are dealt with by a straightforward extension of the AR(1) case. For convenience, the Markov-switching model with AR(1) component that we treat is given here as
+
+where
+
+yt = �st + (yt-1 - �st-1 ) + st t
+
+(20)
+
+�st = �1I[St = 1] + �2I[St = 2], st = 1I[St = 1] + 2I[St = 2].
+The tests exploit the fact that, given the true value of , the simulation-based procedures of the previous section can be validly applied to a transformed model. The idea is that if  in (20) were known we could test whether zt() = yt - yt-1, defined for t = 2, . . . , T , follows a mixture of at least two normals.
+Indeed, when �1 = �2 (�1, �2 = 0), the random variable zt() follows a mixture of two normals (when  = 0), three normals (when || = 1), or four normals otherwise. That is, when yt-1 is subtracted on both sides of (20), the result is a model with a mean that switches between four states according to
+
+zt() = �1I[St = 1] + �2I[St = 2] + �3I[St = 3] + �4I[St = 4] + 1I[St = 1] + 2I[St = 2] t
+
+where
+
+�1 = �1(1 - ), �2 = �2 - �1, �3 = �1 - �2, �4 = �2(1 - )
+
+(21)
+
+and St is a first-order, four-state Markov chain with transition probability matrix
+
+ p11 p12 0 0 
+
+P
+
+=
+
+  
+

+p21 0
+
+p22 0
+
+ 
+
+.
+
+
+
+0 0 p21 p22
+
+8

+If �1 = �2, the quantities in (21) admit either two distinct values (when  = 0), three distinct values (when  = 1 or -1), or four distinct values otherwise. Under H0(�, ), the filtered observations zt(), t = 2, . . . , T , are i.i.d. when evaluated at the true value of the autoregressive parameter.
+To deal with the fact that  in unknown, we use the extension of the MC test technique
+proposed in Dufour (2006) to deal with the presence of nuisance parameters. Treating  as a
+nuisance parameter means that the proposed test statistics become functions of ^t(), where ^t() = zt() - z�(). Let  denote the set of admissible values for  which are compatible with the null hypothesis. Depending on the context, the set  may be R itself, the open interval (-1, 1), the closed interval [-1, 1], or any other appropriate subset of R. In light of a minimax argument
+(Savin, 1984), the null hypothesis may then be viewed as a union of point null hypotheses, where
+each point hypothesis specifies an admissible value for . In this case, the statistic in (19) yields a
+test of H0(�, ) with level  if and only if
+
+GFmin [Fmin(^); N ]  ,    ,
+
+or, equivalently,
+
+sup GFmin[Fmin(^); N ]   .
+
+
+In words, the null is rejected whenever for all admissible values of  under the null, the corresponding point null hypothesis is rejected. Therefore, if N  is an integer, we have under H0(�, ),
+
+Pr sup GFmin[Fmin(^); N ] :        ,
+i.e. the critical region sup{GFmin[Fmin(^); N ] :   }   has level . This procedure is called a maximized MC (MMC) test. It should be noted that the optimization is done over  holding fixed the values of the simulated T � 1 vectors i, i = 1, . . . , N - 1, with i  N (0, IT ) � from which the simulated statistics are obtained.
+The maximization involved in the MMC test can be numerically challenging for Newton-type methods since the simulated p-value function is discontinuous. Search methods for non-smooth objectives which do not rely on gradients are therefore necessary. A computationally simplified procedure can be based on a consistent set estimator CT of ; i.e., one for which limT  Pr[  CT ] = 1. For example, if ^T is a consistent point estimate of  and c is any positive number, then the set
+CT =    : ^T -  < c
+is a consistent set estimator of ; i.e., limT  Pr[ ^T -  < c] = 1, c > 0. Under H0(�, ), the critical region based on (19) satisfies
+
+lim Pr
+T 
+
+sup
+
+GFmin [Fmin(^); N ]
+
+:   CT
+
+   .
+
+The procedure may even be based on the singleton set CT = {^T }, which yields a local MC (LMC) test based on a consistent point estimate. See Dufour (2006) for additional details.
+
+4 Simulation evidence
+This section presents simulation evidence on the performance of the proposed MC tests using model (20) as the data-generating process (DGP). As a benchmark for comparison purposes, we take the optimal tests for Markov-switching parameters developed by Carrasco et al. (2014) (CHP).
+9
+
+To describe these tests, let t = t(0) denote the log of the predictive density of the tth observation
+under the null hypothesis of a linear model. For model (20), the parameter vector under the null hypothesis becomes 0 = (c, , 2) and we have

+
+The jump processes are correlated in the spirit of Marshall and Olkin (1967). Consider independent Poisson processes {1}(), {2}() and {12}(), with the corresponding intensities {1}, {2} and {12}. Then, we define the processes 1() and 2() as
+
+() = {}() + {12}(),  = 1, 2,
+
+(6)
+
+ = {} + {12},
+
+i.e., there are both systemic and idiosyncratic sources of jumps. We assume that the liabilities are deterministic and have the following dynamics
+
+ =  ,
+
+ =  ,
+
+(7)
+
+
+
+
+
+where  is the same growth rate as defined in (2). For pricing purposes, under the risk-neutral measure, we consider  as a risk-free short rate. In the following, we take for simplicity  = 0, but the analysis would not change significantly for  = 0.
+
+2.2 Default boundaries
+
+Following Lipton (2016), we introduce time-dependent default boundaries (). Bank  is
+
+assumed defaulted if its asset value process crosses its default boundary, such that the default
+
+time for bank  is
+
+ = inf{| ()  },  = 1, 2,
+
+(8)
+
+and we define  = min(1, 2). Before any of the banks  = 1, 2 has defaulted,  <  ,
+
+
+
+=
+
+{
+
+( +  + �
+
+�) - �  - �  = ,
+
+< ,
+
+ < ,  = ,
+
+(9)
+
+where 0    1 is the recovery rate and � = 3 - . If the -th bank defaults at intermediate time , then for the surviving bank � = 3 -  the
+default boundary changes to �(+) = ~ �(), where
+
+~ �
+
+=
+
+{ �(� + � - �)  � + � - �  ~ = ,
+
+~ < ,
+
+ < ,  = .
+
+(10)
+
+It is clear that for ()  (+) - () we have
+
+{
+
+  ~  -  =
+
+(1 - �)�, (1 - )�,
+
+ < ,  = .
+
+(11)
+
+Thus,  > 0 and the corresponding default boundaries move to the right. This mechanism can therefore trigger cascades of defaults.
+
+4
+
+2.3 Terminal conditions
+
+We need to specify the settlement process at time  =  . We shall do this in the spirit of Eisenberg and Noe (2001). Since at time  full settlement is expected, we assume that bank  will pay the fraction  of its total liabilities to creditors. This implies that if  = 1 the bank pays all liabilities (both external and interbank) and survives. On the other hand, if 0 <  < 1, bank  defaults, and pays only a fraction of its liabilities. Thus, we can describe the terminal condition as a system of equations
+
+min {( ) + ��,  + �} =  ( + �) .
+
+(12)
+
+There is a unique vector  = (1, 2) such that the condition (12) is satisfied. See Lipton (2016), Itkin and Lipton (2016) for details.
+
+2.4 Formulation of backward Kolmogorov equation
+
+For convenience, we introduce normalized dimensionless variables
+
+� = 2,

+
+Applying Ito^'s formula to , we find its dynamics
+

+
+(15)
+
+In the following, we omit bars for simplicity. The default boundaries change to
+
+
+

+

+ 
+
+ln
+

+

+
+(16)
+
+Assume that the terminal payoff for a contract is ( ). Then, the value function is given by
+
+[
+
+ 
+
+ (, ) = E ( ) � 1{ } + (, ) � 1{>}  +
+
+
+
++1,0(1, 2(1)) � 1{1< } + 2,0(2, 1(2)) � 1{2< }| () = ] , (17)
+
+where (, ) is the contract payment at an intermediate time      (for example, coupon payment), and 1,0(, 2()) and 2,0(, 1()) are the payoffs in case of intermediate default of bank 1 or 2, respectively.
+Then, according to the Feynman�Kac formula, the corresponding pricing equation is the Kolmogorov backward equation
+
+ +  = (, ),
+
+(18)
+
+
+
+ (, 0, 2) = 2,0(, 1),  (, 1, 2) - 2,(, 2),

+
+2.5 Joint and marginal survival probabilities
+
+The joint survival probability is the probability that both banks do not default by the terminal time  and given by
+
+(, ) = 1 E[ { ,1( )=1 ,2( )=2 } |() = ]. Then, applying (18)�(21) with () = 1{1=1 ,2=2 } and (, ) = 0, we get
+
+(26)
+
+
+
++  = 0,
+
+
+
+(, 1, 0) = 0, (, 0, 2) = 0,
+
+(27)
+
+( , ) = 1{1=1 ,2=2 }.
+
+The marginal survival probability for the first bank is the probability that the first bank does not default by the terminal time  ,
+
+1(, ) = 1 E[ {, 112)} + (2, 1(2)) � 1{2< }| () = ],
+
+(28)
+
+where 12 is the set where both banks survive at the terminal time, 1 is the set where only the first bank survives, and (2, 1(2)) is the one-dimensional survival probability with the modified boundaries.
+Then, applying (18)�(21) with () = 1{112)}, (, ) = 0, we get
+
+  1(, ) + 1(, ) = 0,
+
+1(, 0, 2) = 0,
+
+{
+
+1(, 1, 0) = (, 1) =
+
+1,0(, 1), 0,
+
+1  ~<1 , 1 < ~<1 ,
+
+(29)
+
+1(, , 2) = 1, 1(, 1, ) = 1,(, 1),
+1(, ) = 1{112}.
+
+The function 1,0(, 1) is the 1D survival probability, which solves the following boundary value
+
+problem
+
+
+
+ 1,0(, 1) + 11,0(, 1) = 0,
+
+1,0(, ~<1 ) = 0, 1,0(, ) = 1,
+
+(30)
+
+1,0(, 1) = 1{1>~=1 },
+
+6
+
+where
+
+1 2
+
+
+
+1 = 2 21  + 1 1  + 11 - 1.
+
+Accordingly, 1,(, 1) is the 1D survival probability that solves the following boundary
+
+value problem
+
+
+
+ 1,(, 1) + 11,(, 1) = 0,
+
+1,(, 0) = 0, 1,(, ) = 1,
+
+(31)
+
+1,(, 1) = 1{1>=1 }.
+
+We formulate the pricing problems for CDS, FTD, CVA and DVA in Appendix A.
+
+3 Numerical scheme
+
+We shall solve the PIDE (18)�(21) numerically with an Alternating Direction Implicit (ADI) method. The scheme is a modification of Lipton and Sepp (2013) that is unconditionally stable and has second order of convergence in both time and space step.
+In order to deal with a forward equation instead of a backward equation, we change the time variable to  =  - , so that
+
+  =  (, 1, 2) - (, 1, 2),
+
+ (, 1, 0) = 0,1(, 1),  (, 0, 2) = 0,2(, 2),
+
+(32)
+
+ (, 1, 2) - ,1(, 1),  (, 2, 2) - ,2(, 2),
+
+2+
+
+1+
+
+ (0, 1, 2) = (1, 2).
+
+We consider the same grid for integral and differential part of the equation
+
+0 = 01 < 11 < . . . < 11 , 0 = 02 < 12 < . . . < 22 ,
+
+(33)
+
+where 11 and 22 are large positive numbers. The grid is non-uniform, and is chosen such that relatively many points lie near the default
+boundaries for better precision. We use a method similar to Itkin and Carr (2011) to construct
+the grid.
+
+3.1 Discretization of the integral part of the PIDE
+In this section, we shall show how to deal with the integral part of the PIDE, and develop an iterative algorithm for the fast computation of the integral operator on the grid. To this end, we outline the scheme from Lipton and Sepp (2013) and then give a new method.
+The first approach is to deal with the integral operators directly. After the approximation of the integral, we get (Lipton and Sepp (2013))
+
+1 (1 + , 2) = -11 (1, 2) + 0(1, ) (1, 2) + 1(1, ) (1 + , 2) + (3), (34)
+2 (1, 2 + ) = -22 (1, 2) + 0(2, ) (1, 2) + 1(2, ) (1, 2 + ) + (3), (35)
+
+where
+
+1 - (1 + )-
+
+-1 +  + -
+
+0(, ) =
+
+ 
+
+, 1(, ) =
+
+.  
+
+7
+
+We can also approximate 12 = 12 by applying above approximations for 1 and 2 consecutively.
+
+Consider the grid
+
+0 = 01 < 11 < . . . < 11 , 0 = 02 < 12 < . . . < 22 ,
+
+(36)
+
+where 11 and 22 are large positive numbers.
+
+Then, we can write recurrence formulas for computing the integral operator on the grid. Denote 1,, 2,, 1,2 the corresponding approximations of 1 (1 , 2 ) , 2 (1 , 2 ), 12 (1 , 2 )
+on the grid. Applying (34) and (35) we get
+
+1+1, = -11+1 1, + 0(1, 1+1) (1 , 2 ) + 1(1, 1+1) (1+1, 2 ), 2,+1 = -22+1 2, + 0(2, 2+1) (1 , 2 ) + 1(2, 2+1) (1 , 2+1),
+
+(37) (38)
+
+where 1+1 = 1+1 - 1 , 2+1 = 2+1 - 2 . For an alternative method, we rewrite the integral operator as a differential equation

+

+
+(1,
+

+
+(39) (40) (41)
+
+Then, we apply the Adams-Moulton method of second order which gives us third order of accuracy locally (Butcher (2008))

+
+2+12
+
+(1 , 2+1),
+
+where 1+1 = 1+1 - 1 , 2+1 = 2+1 - 2 , and is equivalent to the trapezoidal rule. We can rewrite (42)�(43) in the same notation as (37)�(38) by defining
+
+(42) (43)
+
+0(, )
+
+=
+
+1 -, 2
+
+1
+
+1(, )
+
+=
+
+ . 2
+
+So,
+
+1+1, = -11+1 1, + 0(1, 1+1) (1 , 2 ) + 1(1, 1+1) (1+1, 2 ), 2,+1 = -22+1 2, + 0(2, 2+1) (1 , 2 ) + 1(2, 2+1) (1 , 2+1).
+
+As a result we get explicit recursive formulas for approximations of 1 and 2 that can be computed for all grid points via (12) operations. Both methods give the same order of accuracy. As was discussed above, in order to compute the approximation of 12 we can apply consecutively the approximations of 2 and 1(2 ). So, we have the two-step procedure:
+
+1+2 1, = -11+1 1,2 + 0(1, 1+1) (1 , 2 ) + 1(1, 1+1) (1+1, 2 ),
+
+(44)
+
+and
+
+1,2+1 = -22+1 1,2 + 0(2, 2+1)1,2 + 1(2, 2+1)1,2+1.
+
+(45)
+
+8
+
+Using this two-step procedure, we can also compute an approximation of 12 on the grid in complexity (12).
+We shall subsequently analyze the stability of the second method and use it in the numerical tests. The results for the first method would be very similar.
+For the implementation, computing and storing a matrix representation of the jump operator is not necessary, since the operator can be computed iteratively as described above, but we shall use matrix notation for the analysis. We henceforth denote 1, 2, and 12 the matrices of the discretized jump operators. From (37)�(38) we can find that the matrices 1 and 2 are lowertriangular with diagonal elements 1 = 1(1, 1) and 2 = 1(2, 2). Then, 12 = 12 is also a lower-triangular matrix with diagonal elements 12. To illustrate, in Figure 1 we plot the sparsity patterns in 1, 2, and 12.

+3.2 Discretization of the differential part of the PIDE
+
+Now consider the approximation of derivatives in the differential operator on a non-uniform grid. We use the standard derivative approximation (Kluge (2002), In't Hout and Foulon (2010)).

+
+(54)
+
+As a result, we can approximate the differential operator  by a discrete operator
+
+ = 1 + 2 + 12,
+
+(55)
+
+where 1 contains the discretized derivatives over 1 defined in (46)�(48) and (52), 2 contains the discretized derivatives over 2 defined in (49)�(51) and (53), and 12 contains the discretized mixed derivative defined in (54).
+By straightforward but lengthy Taylor expansion of the expression in (46)�(54), the scheme (59) has second order truncation error in variables 1 and 2 for meshes which are either uniform or smooth transformations of such meshes, as we shall consider later.
+
+3.3 Time discretization: ADI scheme
+After discretization over (1, 2) we can rewrite PIDE (32) as a system of ordinary (linear) differential equations. Consider the vector  ()  R12�1 whose elements correspond to  (, 1 , 2 ). Then
+ () = ~ () + (), (56)
+ (0) = 0,
+where ~ = 1 + 2 + 12 + 11 + 22 + 1212 - (1 + 2 + 12), and () is determined from boundary conditions and the right-hand side.
+To solve this system, we apply an ADI scheme for the time discretization. Consider, for simplicity, a uniform time mesh with time step  :  = ,  = 0, . . . ,  - 1.
+
+10
+
+We decompose the matrix ~ into three matrices, ~ = ~0 + ~1 + ~2, where
+
+~0 = 12 + 11 + 22 + 1212,
+
+~1
+
+=
+

+
+=
+
+2
+
+-
+
+( 2
+
++
+
+12 2
+
+)
+
+ ,
+
+and () = 0() + 1() + 2(), where 0() corresponds to the right-hand side and the FD discretization of the mixed derivatives on the boundary, 1() and 2() correspond to the FD discretization of the derivatives over 1 and 2 on the boundary.
+Now we can apply a traditional ADI scheme with matrices ~0, ~1, and ~2. We choose the Hundsdorfer�Verwer (HV) scheme (Hundsdorfer and Verwer (2013)) in order to have second
+order accuracy in the time variable, and unconditional stability, as we shall prove below. For
+convenience, denote
+
+(, ) = ~ + (),  = 0, 1, 2,
+
+(57)
+
+ (, ) = (~0 + ~1 + ~2) + (0() + 1() + 2()),
+
+(58)
+
+and apply the Hundsdorfer�Verwer (HV) scheme:
+
+
+
+ 0 = -1 +  (-1, -1),
+
+
+
+
+
+  
+
+

+(, 2)),
+
+ = 1, 2,
+
+
+
+  
+
+
+
+=
+
+~2.
+
+In this scheme, parts that contain 1 and 2 are treated implicitly. The matrix ~1 is tridiagonal and ~2 is block-tridiagonal and can be inverted via (12) operations. As a
+
+result, the overall complexity is (12) for a single time step or ( 12) for the whole
+
+procedure.
+
+Moreover, the scheme has second order of consistency in both (1, 2) and  for any given 
+
+and

+

+
+=
+
+~2.
+
+For convenience, we denote by  :  =  -1. We further consider the PDE on R2, i.e., without default boundaries. Hence, we assume that
+diffusion and jump operators are discretized on an infinite, uniform mesh {(11, 22), (1, 2)  Z2}, such that, e.g. 1, 2, 12, 1, 2 are infinite matrices. This is different to In't Hout and Welfert (2007), where finite matrices and periodic boundary conditions (without integral terms)
+are considered.
+
+11
+
+We use von Neumann stability analysis, as first introduced by Charney et al. (1950), by expanding the solution into a Fourier series. Hence, we shall show that the proposed scheme (60) is unconditionally stable, i.e. we will show that all eigenvalues of the operator  have moduli bounded by 1 plus an () term, where the corresponding eigenfunctions are given by exp(11) exp(22), with 1 and 2 the wave numbers and 1 and 2 the grid coordinates.
+In't Hout and Welfert (2007) show that when all matrices commute (as in the PDE case with periodic boundary conditions), the eigenvalues for  are given by

+operators. In the remainder of this section, we show that stability is still given under the same
+conditions on  and  as in the purely diffusive case. For the correspondence of notation with
+In't Hout and Welfert (2007), we denote  = 0 + 1 + 2, where 0 = 12, 1 = 1, 2 = 2 and 0, 1, and 2 are the eigenvalues of the corresponding matrices. Similar to ~0, ~1, and ~2, we define scaled eigenvalues 0 = 0, 1 = 1, 2 = 2.

+
+This (2-)stability result together with second order consistency implies (2-)convergence of second order for all solutions which are sufficiently smooth that the truncation error is defined and bounded. In our setting, where the initial condition is discontinuous, this is not given. Since the step function lies in the (2-)closure of smooth functions, convergence is guaranteed, but usually not of second order. We show this empirically in the next section and demonstrate how second order convergence can be restored practically.
+
+3.5 Discontinuous boundary and terminal conditions
+
+It is well documented (see, e.g. Pooley et al. (2003)) that the spatial convergence order of central finite difference schemes is generally reduced to one for discontinuous payoffs. Moreover, the time convergence order of the Crank-Nicolson scheme is reduced to one due to the lack of damping of high-frequency components of the error, and this behaviour is inherited by the HV scheme. We address these two issues in the following way.
+First, we smooth the terminal condition by the method of local averaging from Pooley et al. (2003), i.e., instead of using nodal values of  directly, we use the approximation
+
+(1 , 2 )
+
+
+
+1 12
+
+ 2 +2/2  1 +1/2 (1, 2) 12.
+2 -2/2 1 -1/2
+
+For step functions with values of 0 and 1, this procedure attaches to each node the fraction of the area where the payoff is 1, in a cell of of size 1 � 2 centred at this point.
+
+14
+
+We illustrate the convergence improvement on the example of joint survival probabilities.
+
+Other quantities show a similar behaviour. The model parameters in the following tests are the
+
+same as in the next section, specifically Table 1.

+in

+the

+HV
+
+scheme.
+
+The observed convergence with and without this smoothing procedure is shown in Figure 2.
+
+We choose the 2-norm for its closeness to the stability analysis � in the periodic case, Fourier
+
+analysis gives convergence results in 2 � and the -norm for its relevance to the problem at
+
+hand, where we are interested in the solution pointwise. The behaviour in the 1-norm is very
+
+similar.
+
+Hereby, for a method of order   1 we estimate the error by extrapolation as

+4 Numerical experiments
+In this section, we analyze the model characteristics and the impact of jumps. Specifically, we compute joint and marginal survival probabilities, CDS and FTD spreads as well as CVA and DVA depending on initial asset values. We also compute the difference between the solution with and without jumps.
+Consider the parameters in Table 1.

+
+In Figures 4�6 we present various model characteristics and compare the results with and
+
+without jumps. From these figures, we can observe that jumps can have a significant impact,
+
+especially near the default boundaries:
+
+� in Figure 4 for the joint survival probability, the biggest impact of jumps is around the default boundaries for both 1 and 2;

+� for the CDS spread, in Figure 6, (b), the biggest impact of jumps is also seen near the default boundary, but it has the opposite direction, because jumps can only increase the CDS spread;
+� in Figure 6, (d) for FTD the spread, the biggest impact of jumps is near both default boundaries, and it has a positive impact;
+� finally, for CVA, (f), the highest impact of jumps is near the default boundary of the first bank, see Figure 6.

+5 Calibration

+The data for external liabilities can be found in banks' balance sheets, which are publicly available. Usually, mutual liabilities data are not public information, thus we made an assumption that they are a fixed proportion of the total liabilities, which coincides with David and Lehar (2014). In particular, we fix the mutual liabilities as 5% of total liabilities.
+The asset's value is the sum of liabilities and equity price. We choose Unicredit Bank as the first bank and Santander as the second bank. In Table 3 we provide their equity price , assets  and liabilities . As in Lipton and Sepp (2013), the liabilities are computed as a ratio of total liabilities and shares outstanding.

+
+For the calibration we choose 1-year at-the-money, in-the-money, and out-of-the-money equity put options on the banks, and 1-year CDS contracts. Since the spreads of CDS are usually significantly lower than the option prices, we scale them by some weight  in the objective function.

+6 Conclusion
+In this paper we considered a structural default model of interlinkage in the banking system. In particular, we studied a simplified setting of two banks numerically. This paper contains several new results. First, we developed a finite-difference method, an extension of the HundsdorferVerwer scheme, for the resulting partial integro-differential equation (PIDE), studied its stability and consistency. To deal with the integral component, we used the idea of its iterative computation from Lipton and Sepp (2013). The method gives second order convergence in both time and space variables and is unconditionally stable.
+Second, by applying the finite-difference method, we computed various model characteristics, such as joint and marginal survival probabilities, CDS and FTD spreads, as well as CVA and DVA, and estimated the impact of jumps on the results. For a more sophisticated analysis, we calibrated the model to the market, and demonstrated a sizeable impact of jumps on joint and marginal survival probabilities in the case of two banks. The development of numerical methods which are feasible for larger systems of banks appears to be an important future research direction.
+From a numerical analysis perspective, we have extended the stability analysis of In't Hout and Welfert (2007) to include an integral term arising from a jump-diffusion process with onesided exponential jump size distribution. By Fourier analysis, we were able to show that the scheme is stable in the 2-sense when considering probability densities on an infinite domain. An interesting open question is the stability analysis in the presence of absorbing boundary conditions, such that the individual matrices involved in the splitting do not commute and the eigenvectors and eigenvalues of the combined operator cannot directly be computed. We are planning to address this in future research.

+
+A.1 Credit default swap
+A credit default swap (CDS) is a contract designed to exchange credit risk of a Reference Name (RN) between a Protection Buyer (PB) and a Protection Seller (PS). PB makes periodic coupon payments to PS conditional on no default of RN, up to the nearest payment date, in the exchange for receiving from PS the loss given RN's default.
+Consider a CDS contract written on the first bank (RN), denote its price 1(, ).2 We assume that the coupon is paid continuously and equals to . Then, the value of a standard CDS contract can be given (Bielecki and Rutkowski (2013)) by the solution of (18)�(21) with (, ) =  and terminal condition

+An FTD contract refers to a basket of reference names (RN). Similar to a regular CDS, the Protection Buyer (PB) pays a regular coupon payment  to the Protection Seller (PS) up to the first default of any of the RN in the basket or maturity time  . In return, PS compensates PB the loss caused by the first default.

+
+A.3 Credit and Debt Value Adjustments for CDS
+Credit Value Adjustment and Debt Value Adjustment can be considered either unilateral or bilateral. For unilateral counterparty risk, we need to consider only two banks (RN, and PS for CVA and PB for DVA), and a two-dimensional problem can be formulated, while bilateral counterparty risk requires a three-dimensional problem, where Reference Name, Protection Buyer, and Protection Seller are all taken into account. We follow Lipton and Savescu (2014) for the pricing problem formulation but include jumps and mutual liabilities, which affects the boundary conditions.
+
+Unilateral CVA and DVA The Credit Value Adjustment represents the additional price associated with the possibility of a counterparty's default. Then, CVA can be defined as
+
+1    = (1 -   )E[ {   100) structure functions of fluorescence intensity I2(r) normalized by their average values for each image. Mach numbers are color-coded: red - 1.1, orange - 1.4, yellow - 1.7, green - 2.0. Solid lines denote  = 0, long dash � 20, short dash � 30. Thin black lines shows slopes 2/3 (top) and 1 (bottom).
+Velocity-field isotropy is very important for the Obukhov-Corrsin scalar scaling to manifest [24], because in most estimates of scalar dissipation, the assumption of local isotropy is used. Accordingly, significant deviation of scalar scaling from the 2/3 value is notable for shear flows [23, 24]. In the flow under consideration here, shear plays a major role � both in formation of secondary instabilities in the centerline plane and in the apparent Kelvin-Helmholtz vortex formation in the vertical plane. To the best of our knowledge, the scalar structure function scaling we observe has not been reported previously, and, while not totally physically unexpected, is quite interesting and deserving further study.

+Abstract--Consider a convex set of which we remove an arbitrarily number of disjoints convex sets � the obstacles � and a convex function whose minimum is the agent's goal. We consider a local and stochastic approximation of the gradient of a RimonKoditschek navigation function where the attractive potential is the convex function that the agent is minimizing. In particular we show that if the estimate available to the agent is unbiased convergence to the desired destination while obstacle avoidance is guaranteed with probability one under the same geometrical conditions than in the deterministic case. Qualitatively these conditions are that the ratio of the maximum over the minimum eigenvalue of the Hessian of the objective function is not too large and that the obstacles are not too flat or too close to the desired destination. Moreover, we show that for biased estimates a similar result holds under some assumptions on the bias. These assumptions are motivated by the study of the estimate of the gradient of a Rimon-Koditschek navigation function for sensor models that fit circles or ellipses around the obstacles. Numerical examples explore the practical value of these theoretical results.
+I. INTRODUCTION
+The problem of navigating towards a desired goal configuration has been extensively studied in the robotics community. In the particular case where the set of available configurations to the robot is convex it is possible to reach the desired configuration by implementing a gradient controller (see e.g. [1]). The main advantages of such controllers are their simplicity and the fact that they rely only on local information, this is, in the gradient of a function whose minimum is the goal configuration.
+A much more complex setting is one in which the workspace is cluttered by obstacles that must be avoided by the agent. Solutions to this problem have been provided in the form of artificial potentials, see for instance [2]�[18]. The main idea of this approach is to combine the attractive potential with repulsive fields that push the agent away of the boundary of the obstacles. With proper design � and restring the geometry of the obstacles to certain classes � it is possible to construct a potential that attains its maximum at the boundary of the obstacles and with a unique minimum at the goal configuration. Therefore ensuring non collision with the obstacles and convergence to the desired destination from almost every initial configuration when following the negative gradient of this potential. The existence guarantees of such functions � termed navigation functions � is highly dependent on the geometry of the free space. For instance for

+
+artificial potentials of the Rimon-Koditschek form introduced in [2] the above properties can be guaranteed in the case of focally admissible obstacles [18] of which spherical worlds considered in the original work [2] are a particular case. This said, by implementing a suitable diffeomorphism it is possible to extend the results of [2] to star worlds [3], [19] thus extending considerably the families of free spaces that can be navigated. Different families of navigation functions can be constructed, such is the case of navigation function based in harmonic functions which allow navigation in topologically complex three dimensional spaces [20], [21]. The latter construction needs the free space to be diffeomorphically mapped to a reference world. In that sense the navigation framework lack the advantage of pure gradient controllers: these cannot be implemented locally as they necessitate access to some amount of global information. Efforts in overcoming this limitation have been pursued, in particular through the use of polynomial navigation functions in the case of twodimensional configuration spaces with convex obstacles [14], [15] and in n dimensional configuration spaces with spherical obstacles [16].
+In the navigation function framework typically the goal configuration is provided to the robot and therefore a rotational symmetric attractive potential can be considered. However, in some settings it is desirable to provide the configuration goal as the minimum � or maximum � of an objective function instead of the configuration itself. Consider for instance the hill climbing problem in which an agent can sense its way "up" by following the slope of the terrain estimated by an inertial measurement unit (IMU). It is more reasonable to solve the problem as navigating towards the top of the hill following its slope �and reaching a point where the slope becomes zero� as compared as navigating towards a given location. This is especially true if the height profile of the hill is unknown or if the interest is on building a system that is independent of the particular hill under consideration. Generally speaking reaching the minimum of an unknown function is a desirable capability for robots to perform complex missions such as environmental monitoring [22], [23], surveillance and reconnaissance [24] and search and rescue operations [25]. The problem of navigating towards the minimum of a convex function in a space with convex holes is studied [26], where generic conditions are presented to ensure that a RimonKoditschek navigation function can be constructed when the attractive potential is a generic convex function rather than the squared of the distance to a desired configuration for a workspace with convex obstacles. The qualitative implication of this conditions is that Rimon-Koditschek have a unique
+
+minimum when one of the following conditions are met. (i) The condition number of the Hessian of the attractive potential is not large and the obstacles are not too flat. (ii) The distance from the obstacles' boundary to the minimum of the attractive potential is large relative to the size of the obstacle. These conditions are compatible with the definition of sufficiently curved worlds in [17].
+In [26] it is assumed that the information about the objective function and the obstacles is exact. However, this is not the case in systems where the magnitudes that the robot needs to build the navigation function are gathered by sensors and therefore the measurements have errors in the form of noise. In that sense the objective of this work is to generalize the results in [26] to stochastic scenarios, understood as a setting in which the sensorial information available to the agent comes from a probability distribution instead of being deterministic (Section II). In particular we show that if the agent is able to construct an unbiased estimate of the gradient of the navigation function, convergence to the minimum of the objective function can be ensured with probability one as well as collision avoidance (Theorem 2 Section IV). Moreover, there might be a mismatch between the model that the agent has of the environment and the real one. This mismatch translates into the fact that estimates of the gradient of the navigation function are not unbiased. Hence we devote Section V to this end. In particular, we show that if in a neighborhood of the saddle points of the navigation function the bias is small the same theoretical guaranties as in the unbiased case can be provided (Theorem 2). The previous technical hypothesis is motivated by the study of particular sensor models in Section III. The practical implications of these theoretical conclusions are explored in numerical simulations (Section VII) in which we consider the problem of reaching the minimum of non rotational symmetric potentials in a space where the obstacles are ellipses (Section VII-A) and where the obstacles are egg shaped as an example of a generic convex obstacle (Section VII-B).
+
+The free space F represents the points of the workspace that are accessible to the agent, i.e., the set difference between the workspace and the obstacles. We formally define this set next.
+
+Definition 1. The free space F  Rn is the set given by
+
+m
+
+F = X \ Oi.
+
+(3)
+
+i=1
+
+Let f0 : X  R+ be a convex function such that its minimum is the agent's goal. Then the problem of interest is to navigate the free space F towards the minimum of the convex potential f0(x) from all initial positions. Formally, this is finding a sequence
+
+{xt  F , t  N  {0}} such that lim xt = x, (4)
+t
+where x = argmin f0(x). For such a problem to be feasible we need the minimum of the potential to be in the free space. We also require the objective function to be twice continuously differentiable and strongly convex. We formalize these assumptions about the objective function next.
+
+Assumption 2 (Objective function). The objective function f0(x) is such that:
+Optimal point The minimum x of the objective function is such that f0(x)  0 and it is in the interior of the free space,
+
+x  int(F ).
+
+(5)
+
+Twice continuously differentiable and strongly convex
+The objective function is twice continuously differentiable and strongly convex in X . These assumptions in addition to the fact that the workspace is compact imply that the eigenvalues of the Hessian 2f0(x) are contained in the interval [min, max] for all x  F , with 0 < min.
+
+II. PROBLEM FORMULATION
+In this work we are interested in navigating towards the minimum of a convex potential in a space with convex holes in cases where the information available to the agent about the potential and the space is local and inexact. To be formal, define the workspace X  Rn as a non empty convex compact set and consider a set of m  N obstacles Oi  X that we define as non empty, open, strongly convex sets with smooth boundary Oi. The obstacles are such that they do not intersect with each other or with the boundary of the workspace. We formalize these assumptions next.
+Assumption 1 (Obstacles do not intersect). The workspace and the obstacles are such that the obstacles and its boundaries are contained in the interior of the workspace
+(Oi  Oi)  int(X ) for all i = 1 . . . m, (1)
+and the obstacles do not intersect with each other
+(Oi  Oi)  (Oj  Oj) =  i, j = 1 . . . m, i = j. (2)
+
+In cases where exact information about the objective function and complete information about the obstacles is available to the agent, it is possible �under mild conditions about the geometry of the free space and the objective function� to build a navigation function [26]. An agent that follows the flow given by the negative gradient of a navigation function converges to the destination x without running into the free space boundary for a set of initial conditions that is dense in the free space [27]. Thus solving problem (4). For completeness we provide here the definition of a navigation function as well as a different characterization of the free space that is useful to the navigation function framework.
+Definition 2 (Navigation Function). Let F  Rn be a compact connected analytic manifold with boundary. A map  : F  [0, 1], is a navigation function in F if:
+Differentiable. It is twice continuously differentiable in F.
+Polar at x. It has a unique minimum at x which belongs to the interior of the free space, i.e., x  int(F ).
+Morse. It has non degenerate critical points on F.
+
+Admissible. All boundary components have the same maximal value, namely F = -1(1)1.
+
+Since the workspace X is a convex set, there exists a concave function 0 : Rn  R such that x  X if and only if 0(x)  0. Such a function exists because super level sets of
+concave functions are convex. Likewise we can define convex functions i(x) : Rn  R for i = 1 . . . m such that i(x)  0 if and only if x  Oi Oi. Since the obstacles Oi are smooth and strongly convex the Hessian of the function i(x) is well defined and its eigenvalues are lower bounded by �imin > 0. Define then the following product function  : Rn  R
+
+m
+
+(x) = i(x).
+
+(6)
+
+i=0
+
+The interest in defining the above function is that it is possible to characterize the free space as the set for which (x) is nonnegative, in particular its boundary are the points satisfying (x) = 0. With this characterization of the free space one can define the following Rimon Koditschek artificial potential

+k(x) =
+
+f0(x)
+
+,
+
+f0k(x) + (x) 1/k
+
+(7)
+
+where k > 0 is an order parameter. It can be shown that for large enough k under mild assumptions on the condition number of the Hessian of the objective functions and the geometry of the free space the above artificial potential is a navigation function. These conditions are given in the following Theorem [26].
+
+Theorem 1. Let F be the free space defined in (3) verifying
+Assumption 1, and let k : F  [0, 1] be the function defined
+in (7). Let max, min be the bounds from Assumption 2 and �imin the minimum eigenvalue of the Hessian of i(x). Furthermore let the following inequality hold for all i = 1..m
+
+max min
+
+i(xs)T (xs xs - x
+
+- x)
+2
+
+<
+
+�imin,
+
+(8)
+
+where xs  Oi . Then there exists a constant K such that
+if k > K, k(x) is a navigation function with minimum at x if f0(x) = 0 and with minimum arbitrarily close to x if f0(x) = 0.
+
+Proof: See Theorem 2 in [26].
+Theorem 1 provides a condition on the obstacles and the
+objective function for which k(x) is a navigation function for sufficiently large k. The condition has to be satisfied for all the
+points lying in the boundary of an obstacle. Notice however that the product i(xs)T (xs -x) is negative if i(xs) and xs-x point in opposite directions, meaning that the condition can be violated only by points in the boundary of the obstacle
+that are behind the obstacle as seen from the minimum point.
+In that case the worst scenario is when i(xs) is aligned with xs - x. In this case it is of interest that the gradient i(xs) is not too large with respect to the minimum eigenvalue �imin, i.e., the obstacle is not too flat. On the other hand we want the
+
+1For a function f (x) we denote its inverse by f -1(x).
+
+ratio 1/ xs - x to be small in order to satisfy (8). This ratio being small means that the destination x is not too close to the boundary of the obstacle. Finally, condition (8) is easier to satisfy when the ratio max/min is close to one, meaning that the closer the level sets of the objective function are to spheres, the easier is to navigate the environment. In summary, the simplest navigation problems have obstacles and objective function whose level sets are close tho spheres and minima that are not close to the boundary of the obstacles.
+While the navigation function approach provides a provable way of navigating towards the minimum of a convex potential in a cluttered workspace, its drawback is that it needs a complete characterization of the obstacles to build the function k(x) defined in (7). Moreover, to ensure that the agent is moving in the direction of the negative gradient of the navigation function, the measurements of the objective function and the obstacles need to be exact. In this work we relax these assumptions by considering only local and stochastic information. Formally, let (, G, P ) be a probability space and define the following filtration defined as a sequence of increasing sigma algebras {, } = G0  G1  . . .  Gt  . . .  G. For each t  0, define a random vector t to be Gt measurable. Then at each time t  N for a given position in the free space xt  F the agent is able to compute a biased estimate of the gradient of the navigation function g^t(xt, t) satisfying
+
+E g^t(xt, t) Gt = (x) (k(x) + bk(x)) , (9)
+
+where  : F  R is a strictly positive differentiable function and bk : F  Rn is piece-wise differentiable. As it will be explored in Section III the bias bk(x) accounts for a mismatch between the real free space and the one that the robot is able to estimate given some belief about the environment. This mismatch is the consequence of using local information about the free space. Drawing inspiration from the deterministic scenario we propose a stochastic gradient descent scheme to solve (4) using only local and stochastic information in which the agent updates its configuration recursively as
+
+xt+1 = xt - tg^t(xt, t),
+
+(10)
+
+where t is a step size assumed to be not summable and square summable. Typically one can select the step size as t = 0/(1+t), where 0 is the initial step size and  controls the rate at which the step size is decreased. We formalize the assumption on he step size for future reference.
+
+Assumption 3. The step size t for the update (10) is a positive and strictly decreasing sequence that satisfies
+
+
+
+
+
+t = ,
+
+2t < .
+
+(11)
+
+t=0
+
+t=0
+
+The main contribution of this work is to show that an agent operating in a workspace with convex holes, that is given an estimate of the form (9) is able to reach the minimum of a unknown convex function without running into the free space boundary with probability one (Section V). Before presenting this result, in Section III we consider a sensor model from
+
+which an estimate satisfying (9) arises and we present a preliminary result for unbiased estimates (Section IV).
+
+III. SENSOR MODEL EXAMPLES
+
+In this section we propose an estimate of the gradient of a Rimon-Koditschek navigation function based on local and stochastic observations about the objective functions and the obstacles. The estimate proposed is based in the fact that the direction of the gradient of the potential defined in (7) is given by the following expression
+
+(x)f0(x)
+
+-
+
+f0(x)(x) . k
+
+(12)
+
+The above fact can be conclude after differentiating the expression (7) and noticing that the terms that multiply (12) are strictly positive. Since the objective function is typically a physical magnitude that must be minimized or maximized one can assume that the robot has estimates of the function f0(x) and its gradient at the current location. For instance in the problem of climbing a forested hill the function f0(x) represents the height profile of the hill. Using a GPS the agent is able to have a measure of the height at the current location and with an inertial measurement unit (IMU) it is possible to estimate the slope of the hill understood as the gradient of the height profile function f0(x). Denote these estimates at time t by f^0(xt, t) and ^ f0(xt, t), where t is a random vector measurable with respect to the sigma algebra Gt. In order to estimate the obstacles � the trees in the hill climbing problem� the agent may have information available gathered by a range finder. In this case depending on the belief that the agent has about the world there exists different forms of estimating the obstacles of which we discuss two examples next. Before doing that we define the set of obstacles that can be measured at a given position x. Due to physical limitations like the range of the sensor or the fact that obstacles can be "hidden" behind others the agent is not able to sense all the obstacles at a given position x. In that sense we define the set obstacles that can be estimated as those obstacles that are at a distance smaller than a given limit c
+
+Ac(x) = i = 1 . . . m di(x)  c ,
+
+(13)
+
+where di(x) is the distance to the i�th obstacle.
+
+A. Circle Fitting
+
+We consider the case where the belief that the robot has about the free space is that obstacles are spherical. Online estimation of distance, direction and curvature of the obstacles has been studied in the literature [28]. Denoting these quantities corresponding to the i�th obstacle by di(x), ni(x) and Ri(x), the agent assumes the obstacle function to be
+
+~i(x) = d2i (x) + 2Ri(x)di(x),
+
+(14)
+
+and the assumed gradient of the function is of the form
+
+~i(x) = 2 (di(x) + Ri(x)) ni(x).
+
+(15)
+
+In particular observe that if the free space is indeed a spherical world the functions ~i(x) and i(x) are identical as well as ~i(x) and i(x). Denoting the estimates of the distance,
+direction and curvature of the i-th obstacle respectively by
+
+d^i(xt, t), n^i(xt, t) and R^i(xt, t), one can define an estimate of the function corresponding to the obstacle Oi as
+
+^(xt, t) = d^2i (xt, t) + 2R^i(xt, t)d^i(xt, t),
+
+(16)
+
+and its gradient by
+
+^i(xt, t) = 2 d^i(xt, t) + R^i(xt, t) n^i(xt, t). (17)
+
+With this information available a natural possibility inspired in (12) is to define the estimate of the direction of the gradient of the navigation function as
+
+g^t(xt, t) := ^ f0(xt, t)
+
+^i(xt, t)
+
+iAc (xt )
+
+- f^0(xt, t) k
+
+^i(xt, t)
+
+^j(xt, ).
+
+iAc (xt )
+
+j Ac (xt ),j =i
+
+(18)
+
+By taking the expectation of the estimate with respect to the sigma algebra Gt and assuming independence across estimates it is possible to show that the estimate (18) satisfies (9). Observe that if the estimates corresponding to the objective function and the obstacles are bounded � which is the case in practical applications� the estimate of the direction of the gradient has bounded norm. Further notice, that when an agent is close to the obstacle Oi we have that i(xt)  0. Therefore, the direction g^t(xt, t) is approximately given by
+
+g^t(xt,
+
+t)
+
+
+
+-
+
+f^0(xt, k
+
+t)
+
+^j(xt, )^i(xt, t).
+
+j Ac (xt ),j =i
+
+(19)
+
+The above means that the update direction proposed in (10)
+
+points outwards the i-th obstacle when the agent is close to
+
+it. These observations made for this particular estimator are
+
+presented as Assumption 4 in Section III-C for the general
+
+case. We next devote our attention to the properties of the bias bk(x). Let d2i (x) be the variance of the estimate of the distance to obstacle Oi. For the estimate defined in (18) the
+bias bk(x) takes the particular form of
+
+bk (x)
+
+=
+
+k
+
+f0(x)(x)
+
+�
+
+(f0(x)k + (x))1+1/k
+
+
+
+
+
+m
+
+i=0
+
+i(x) i(x)
+
+-
+
+iAc (x)
+
+~i
+
+~i (x) +
+
+(x) d2i
+
+(x)
+
+
+
+.
+
+(20)
+
+Observe that the bias depends upon three main factors, the limitation in the number of obstacles that can be measured, the difference between the free space and the belief of the agent and the variance of the estimation of the distance to the obstacles. In the particular case where the wolrd is spherical, the agent is able to sense all the obstacles and the distance to the obstacle is know exactly � or an unbiased estimate of the distance squared is available� the estimator is unbiased. In the general case it is possible to show that as long as the variance d2i (x) vanishes fast enough when x approaches the boundary of Oi we have that
+
+m i=0
+
+i(x) i(x)
+
+-
+
+iAc (x)
+
+~i(x) ~i(x) + d2i (x)
+
+B,
+
+(21)
+
+for all x  F, where B is a nonnegative constant. The fact that
+the variance of the estimate of the distance vanishes translates
+in the fact that the closest the agent is to an obstacle the
+better it can be estimated. In particular, the estimation in the boundary is exact. Since the gradient of k(x) has a factor of 1/ f0(x)k + (x) 1+1/k it is more convenient to work with the following scaling of the bias
+
+~bk(x) = f0(x)k + (x) 1+1/k bk(x).
+
+(22)
+
+Some consequences of the bias vanishing in the boundary
+
+of the free space are that for any x  F we have ~bk(x) = bk(x) = 0 since (x) = 0. Further observe that the norm of ~bk(x) is decreasing at the rate 1/k for
+any point in the interior of the free space and in particular limk ~bk(x) = 0. Moreover, under this model the function ~bk(x) is piece-wise twice differentiable and the discontinuities
+are due to changes in the set Ac(x), this is either when a
+new obstacle is sensed or when an obstacle cannot be sensed
+
+anymore. Therefore, the discontinuities occur away from the
+
+obstacles. Further observe that since ~bk(x) is decreasing with k and because limk ~bk(x) = 0 we have that the region where k(x)T (k(x) + bk(x))  0 are disjoint regions
+
+around the critical points of k(x) for large enough k. Let
+
+xc be a saddle point of k(x) and define the direction
+
+v = (xc)/ (xc) and v a unit vector satisfying
+
+vT v = 0. One can show that if the obstacles are spherical
+
+the quotient of the quadratic form of the Jacobian of bk(x) at
+
+xc over the quadratic form of the Hessian of k(x) at xc is
+
+such that
+
+vT J bk(xc)v vT 2k(xc)v
+
+= O(1/k),
+
+(23)
+
+and
+
+vT J bk(xc)v (v)T 2k(xc)v
+
+= O(1/k),
+
+(24)
+
+where O(1/k) is a function whose limit limk O(1/k)k is a positive constant. It is also worth noticing that the saddle
+
+points xc of k(x) satisfy that (xc)  L/k where L is a
+non-negative constant (see Lemma 3 of [26]) the scaled bias satisfies ~bk(xc) = O(1/k2). The interpretation of the previous fact is that at the critical points of k(x), the C1 norm2 of
+the bias is small compared to that of the vector field k(x).
+In particular, for large enough k in a neighborhood around
+
+a saddle point of k(x) the eigenvalues of the Jacobian of k(x) + bk(x) have the same sign as those of the Hessian of k(x), therefore having the same stability properties. These observations about the bias for the particular estimate here
+
+presented are summarized under Assumption 5 for the generic
+
+case (c.f. Section III-C).
+
+B. Ellipse Fitting
+
+A different approach for obstacle estimation is to fit ellipses
+
+around the obstacles instead of circles. In this case the func-
+
+tions defining the obstacles take the form
+
+~i(x) = (x - xi)T Ai(x - xi) - ri2,
+
+(25)
+
+2Given a vector field f (x) we denote its n-derivative by D(n)f (x). We define the Cn norm of a vector field f (x) in a manifold M as f (x) Cn = supxM f (x) , Df (x) , . . . , D(n)f (x) .
+
+where Ai is a symmetric n � n matrix. Thus, in order to fit ellipses around the obstacles one needs to estimate (n - 1)2/2 + n parameters corresponding to the matrix Ai, n parameters corresponding to the center of the ellipses xi and one parameter corresponding to the scaling ri. This is a drawback compared to the case of the circle where only its radius was needed, yet it reduces the mismatch between the model and the true environment for a larger class of obstacles. Under this model and assuming that unbiased estimates of the discussed quantities are available one can estimate the obstacle function as
+^i(xt, t) = -r^i2(xt, t)+ (x^t(xt, t) - x^i(xt, t))T A^i(xt, t) (x^t(xt, t) - x^i(xt, t)) ,
+(26)
+and its gradient as
+^i(xt, t) = 2A^i(xt, t) (x^t(xt, t) - x^i(xt, t)) . (27)
+As discussed in the previous section (23) and (24) hold when the obstacles are spherical, likewise when considering ellipses as hallucinated obstacles (23) and (24) holds for obstacles that do not differ much from ellipsoids.
+
+C. General Model Assumptions
+We summarize the observations about the estimate of the gradient of the navigation function g^t(xt, t) for the particular models described in Sections III-A and III-B under the following assumptions for a generic estimate satisfying (9).
+Assumption 4. The estimate of the gradient of the navigation function g^(xt, t) is
+Bounded There exists a strictly positive constant B such that for all x  F and for all  we have that
+
+g^(x, )  B.
+
+(28)
+
+Points outwards the obstacles For each obstacle Oi there
+
+exists a constant i > 0 such that if di(x) < i we have
+
+for all 
+
+- g^(x, )T i(x) > 0,
+
+(29)
+
+where di(x) denotes the distance to the obstacle Oi.
+
+Biased Let (x) : F  R++ be a differentiable function bounded away from zero and let bk(x) : F  Rn be piecewise differentiable on the free space and let k(x) be the function defined in (7). Then the expected value of the estimate
+g^t(xt, t) with respect to the sigma algebra Gt satisfies
+
+E g^t(xt, t) Gt = (xt) (k(xt) + bk(xt)) . (30)
+
+Assumption 5. The bias bk(x) defined in (9) is piece-wise differentiable on the free space and has the following properties.
+Unbiased at the boundary The bias bk(x) is such that for any x  F we have that bk(x) = 0 for all k.
+
+Dependence with k The scaled bias
+
+~bk(x) = bk(x) f0(x)k + (x))1+1/k
+
+(31)
+
+is such that for any point x in the interior of the free space F
+
+we have that
+
+bk(x) = O(1/k),
+
+(32)
+
+where O(1/k) is a function satisfying limk O(1/k)k = M with M a positive constant.
+
+gradient of the navigation function (7) satisfying Assumption 4. Then, by choosing a step size satisfying Assumption 3 with 0 < mini i/B, where i and B are defined in Assumption 4, the update (10) is such that the sequence {xt, t  0}  F.
+Proof: Denote by di(x) the euclidean distance of the point x to the set Oi and observe that by virtue of the triangular inequality one has that
+
+di(xt+1)  di(xt) - t g^t(xt, t) .
+
+(34)
+
+Discontinuities away of the boundary There exists a constant D > 0 such that the function bk(x) is differentiable for all x  F satisfying i(x) < D for every i = 1 . . . m.
+
+Regularity Assumption Let Uki be the set defined as
+
+Uki = x  F k(x)T (k(x) + bk(x))  0
+
+(33)
+
+ x  F i(x)  D .
+
+Since k(x) is a Morse function the vector field k(x) is strucutraly stable (c.f. Theorem 1.4 p.127 [29]). This is,
+there exists k > 0 such that for any function g(x) satisfying g(x) C1 < k we have that the orbits of x = k(x) + g(x)
+are conjugate to those of x = k(x). We assume the bias bk(x) be such that bk(x) < k for any x  Uki .
+
+As discussed in Sections III-A and III-B the bias bk(x) accounts for a mismatch between the free space and the free space that the agent is able to estimate. This mismatch does not introduce a problem as long as the Regularity Assumption holds as we show in Section V, where we show that despite this mismatch the agent is able to converge to a point that is arbitrarily close to the minimum of the objective function. However the Regularity Assumption limits the mismatch between the true environment and the model that the agent may have of it. In that sense, it is not clear to us whether this assumption is a limitation on the type of hallucinated obstacles that can be used to fit a given world or if it is a limitation on the analysis in Section V. In the next section we present a preliminary result for unbiased estimates.
+
+Because the estimate of the gradient of the navigation function satisfies that g^t(xt, t)  B (c.f. Assumption 4) and t is a decreasing sequence (c.f. Assumption 3), if 0  mini i/B we have that t g^t(xt, t) < mini {i}. Therefore, for cases in which di(xt)  i (34) can be lower bounded by
+
+di(xt+1) > i - min i  0.
+
+(35)
+
+i
+
+The above implies that if at time t, the iterate xt is at a distance larger than i of the obstacle Oi then at time t + 1 the iterate xt+1 remains in the free space. We are left to show that this is also true for cases where di(xt) < i. By Assumption 4, in this case we have that -g^t(xt, t)T i(xt) > 0 and therefore non collision with obstacle Oi is ensured trivially.
+The previous lemma shows that for a small enough initial
+
+step size the update (10) is such that it avoids collisions.
+
+Observe that the previous result holds independently of the
+
+fact that the estimate is unbiased, so non collision is ensured
+
+both in the biased and unbiased cases. We next show that
+
+when the estimate is unbiased the gradient descent update
+
+(10) converges almost surely to the set of critical points of
+
+the navigation function (7).
+
+Lemma 2. Let F be the free space defined in (1) verifying Assumption 1 and let (8) hold. Denote by g^t(xt, t) an unbiased estimate of the gradient of the artificial potential (7) satisfying Assumption 4 with b(x)  0. Furthermore, let t be a sequence satisfying Assumption 3 with 0 < mini i/B, where i and B are defined in Assumption 5. Then, there exists K > 0 such that for any x0  F and for any k > K the sequence generated by the update (10) is such that
+
+IV. UNBIASED ESTIMATOR
+In this section we consider the particular case of an agent that has access to an unbiased estimator of the gradient of the navigation function rather than the general model presented in (9). This means that the bias is identically zero bk(x)  0. The main result of this section is that an agent that follows the gradient update (10) converges to the minimum of the navigation function k(x) defined in (7) while avoiding the obstacles with probability one. Therefore solving problem (4). We start by showing that the update proposed ensures obstacle avoidance. In the continuous time and deterministic framework this is a trivial consequence of the fact that the navigation function is admissible. Due to both the discretization and the stochasticity this not longer the case unless the step size is small enough. The following lemma formalizes this result.
+Lemma 1. Let F be the free space defined in (1) verifying Assumption 1. Furthermore, let g^t(xt, t) be an estimate of the
+
+lim xt = Xc a.e.,
+
+(36)
+
+t
+
+where Xc is a random variable taking values on the set of the critical points of k(x).
+
+Proof: By virtue of Theorem 1 there exists K > 0 such that for any k > 0 the function k(x) defined in (7) is a navigation function. Let us write k(xt+1) in terms of the previous iterate using the update rule given in (10) and the Taylor expansion of k(x) around the point xt
+
+k(xt+1) = k (xt - tg^t(xt, t)) =

+
+2 k (z )g^t (xt ),
+
+(37)
+
+where z is a point in the segment xt - �tg^t(xt) with �  [0, 1]. Since the sequence of iterates is contained in the free space F (c.f. Lemma 1), so is z. The free space being a compact set and k(x) being a twice differentiable function
+
+(c.f. Definition 2), the maximum eigenvalue of the Hessian of k(x) is upper bounded by a constant. Let L be an upper bound for this eigenvalue. Then the quadratic term in (37) can be bounded as
+g^tT (xt, t)2k(z)g^t(xt, t)  L g^t(xt) 2. (38)
+Consider the expectation with respect to the sigma field Gt on both sides of (37). Using the linearity of the expectation, the fact that k(xt) is Gt measurable and the bound derived in (38) we have that

+
+Since k(x) is a navigation function it is nonnegative and therefore St is nonnegative sequence. Furthermore it is admissible and its value in the boundary is one, thus bounded. This fact in addition with the assumption that the selected step size t is a square summable sequence (c.f. Assumption 3) implies that St is an integrable random variable. St is also adapted to Gt since xt is. Thus, in order to show that St is a nonnegative supermartingale it remains to be prooved that
+E St+1 Gt  St, which we do next. Using the linearity of
+
+the expectation and the bound for E k(xt+1) Gt derived in (40) we have that

+
+E k(xt)T g^t(xt, t) Gt = (x) k(xt) 2  0 (43)
+
+since (x) is strictly positive (c.f. Assumption 4). This completes the proof that St is non negative supermartingale. Thus we have that (see e.g. Theorem 5.2.9 in [30])

+
+
+t(xt) (xt) 2 <  a.e..
+
+(45)
+
+t=0
+
+Since the sequence of step sizes {t, t  0} is not summable and (x) is bounded away from zero (c.f. Assumption 4) the convergence of the above series implies that
+
+lim inf (xt) 2 = 0 a.e..
+
+(46)

+
+Therefore, there exists a subsequence {xts , s  N  {0}} that converges to the set of critical points of the navigation function k(x). Since the limit of St exists we have that

+
+Moreover the critical points of the navigation function are hyperbolic (c.f. Definition 2), and therefore the limit of the sequence xt generated by the update (10) is either the minimum of k(x) or one of the saddles of k(x). Thus completing the proof of the lemma.
+The previous lemma states that with probability one the update (10) results in a sequence that converges to either the minimum of the navigation function k(x) or to one of its saddle points. In the deterministic and continuous time framework, the stable manifold of the saddles has zero measure and therefore, for a set of initial conditions of measure one we can guarantee convergence to its minimum. The next lemma is the analogous of this statement for the stochastic setting, where we show that the probability of converging to a saddle is zero. We state the result in its generic form for any hyperbolic function.
+
+Lemma 3. Let V (x) : F  R be a hyperbolic function. Consider the sequence generated by the update of the form given in (10) for which g^t(xt, t) satisfies

+E g^tT (xt, t)V (xt) Gt > 0,
+
+(48)
+
+if xt is not a critical point of V (x) and
+
+E g^tT (xt, t)V (xt) Gt = 0,
+
+(49)
+
+if xt is a critical point of V (x). Then for any x0  F , the probability of the sequence {xt, t  0} converging to a saddle point of V (x) is zero.
+
+Proof: See Section A
+As mentioned before, Lemma 3 is more general than what is needed to show that the probability of converging to the saddle point of the navigation function is zero. In particular observe that by substituting V (x) by k(x) and considering the case of an unbiased estimator the left hand side of (52) and (53) yields (xt) k(xt) 2 which is strictly positive if xt is not a critical point of k(x) and is zero if xt is a critical point of k(x). Therefore in the particular case where we take V (x) to be the navigation function k(x) and g^t(xt, t) to be an unbiased estimator of the gradient of the navigation function the above lemma states that with probability zero the sequence {xt  Rn, t  N  {0}} given by the update (10) converges to a saddle point of the navigation function k(x) for any initial position x0  F. Thus, by combining lemmas 2 and 3 we can show convergence to the minimum of the navigation function with probability one. This is the subject of the following Theorem where we establish that an agent that has available an unbiased estimate of the gradient of the navigation function
+
+k(x) defined in (7) converges to x if f0(x) = 0 or to a
+point that is arbitrarily close to the minimum of the objective function x if f0(x) = 0 with probability one.
+
+Theorem 2. Let F be the free space defined in (3) verifying
+
+Assumption 1 and let f0 : X  R be a function satisfying Assumption 2 with minimum at x. Consider the artificial
+
+potential k : F  [0, 1] defined in (7) and let g^t(xt, t) be an unbiased estimate of k(x) satisfying Assumption 4. Also let (8) hold for all i = 1 . . . m. Let {xt, t  0} be the sequence generated by the update (10) with a step size
+
+satisfying Assumption 3 and 0 < mini i/B with  and B defined in Assumption 4. Then for every  > 0, there exists a

+
+Proof: From Theorem 1 it follows that for every  > 0 there exists some K > 0 such that for any k > K the artificial potential k(x) is a navigation function with minimum at x� satisfying x� - x <  if f0(x) = 0 and with minimum at x otherwise. Then, the fact that the sequence {xt, t  0}  F is a direct consequence of Lemma 1 and the convergence to the minimum of the navigation function is a consequence of lemmas 2 and 3.
+The previous theorem states that an agent who has access to an unbiased estimate of the gradient of a Rimon-Koditschek navigation function succeeds in navigating towards the minimum of the objective function or to a point that is arbitrarily close to it with probability one while remaining on the free space by selecting the tuning parameter k large enough. In section VI we generalize this result to arbitrary spaces and suitable navigation functions. In the next section we generalize the result of Theorem 2 to case where the estimate biased.
+
+V. BIASED ESTIMATOR
+In this section we generalize Theorem 2 presented in Section IV for biased estimators satisfying Assumption 4 and 5. The main difference with the unbiased estimator is that the estimate g^t(xt, t) is not a descent direction in expectation for the navigation function k(x). However it can be shown that there exists an energy like function that has the same structural properties as k(x) for which the estimate is a descent direction in expectation. We formalize this result in the next lemma.
+Lemma 4. Let F be the free space defined in (3) verifying Assumption 1 and let f0 : X  R be a function satisfying Assumption 2 with minimum at x. Consider the artificial potential k : F  [0, 1] defined in (7) and let g^t(xt, t) be an estimate of k(x) satisfying assumptions 4 and 5. Also let (8) hold for all i = 1 . . . m. Then, for every  > 0 there is a constant K such that if k > K, there exists a twice differentiable function Vk : F  R whose critical points are
+
+at a distance smaller than  to those of k(x). Furthermore, the index of the critical points of the two functions are equal and Vk(x) is such that
+
+E g^tT (xt, t)Vk(xt) Gt > 0,
+
+(52)
+
+if xt is not a critical point of Vk(x) and
+
+E g^tT (xt, t)Vk(xt) Gt = 0,
+
+(53)
+
+if xt is a critical point of Vk(x).
+
+Proof: See Appendix B. In the above lemma we established the existence of an energy function for which the expected value of the estimate of the gradient of the navigation function g^t(xt, t) is a descent direction. In particular, the critical points of this energy function are arbitrarily close to those of the navigation function k(x). We are now in conditions of stating an proving the main result of the work, where we show that an agent that descends along the direction of a biased estimator of the gradient of a navigation function converges with probability one to a point that is arbitrarily close to the minimum of f0(x). We formalize this result next.
+
+Theorem 3. Let F be the free space defined in (3) verifying
+
+Assumption 1 and let f0 : X  R be a function satisfying Assumption 2 with minimum at x. Consider the artificial
+
+potential k : F  [0, 1] defined in (7) and let g^t(xt, t) be an estimate of k(x) satisfying assumptions 4 and 5. Also let (8) hold for all i = 1 . . . m. Let {xt, t  0} be the sequence generated by the update (10) with a step size
+
+satisfying Assumption 3 and 0 < mini i/B with  and B defined in Assumption 4. Then for every  > 0, there exists a
+
+constant K such that if k > K, we have that {xt, t  0}  F and
+
+lim
+t
+
+xt
+
+=
+
+x�
+
+a.e.,
+
+(54)
+
+where x� is a point arbitrarily close to x.
+
+Proof: Observe that non collision is ensured by virtue of Lemma 1. Moreover because of Lemma 4 we know that there exists an energy function such that its critical points are arbitrarily close to those of k(x) and the indexes of said critical points are the same for both functions. Thus Lemma 2 holds for the self indexing energy function. Finally for k large enough k(x) is a navigation function and thus Lemma 3 and Theorem 1 hold completing the proof.
+The above theorem states that under the same conditions on the free space and the objective function than in the deterministic case, by following the update (10) the agent is able, with probability one, to reach a point arbitrarily close to the minimum of the objective function f0(x) without running into the free space boundary. In particular, the update is performed by considering only local information about the objective function and the obstacles whereas in the construction in [26] (Theorem 1) complete information about the obstacles is needed. Furthermore, instead of requiring exact information about both the objective function and the obstacles, stochastic measurements suffice to solve the problem of interest. Notice that in Theorem 3 it is implicitly stated the need of satisfying
+
+condition (8). Thus for the stochastic case the same comments than in the deterministic case regarding the geometry of the free space and the condition number of the Hessian of the objective function are pertinent. This is, it is easier to navigate the free space when the obstacles and the level sets of the objective function are close to spheres.
+Observe that the bias of the estimator accounts for a mismatch between the real free space and the one that is hallucinated by the agent. As explained in sections III-A and III-B there are three main components of this bias; the obstacles that cannot be measured since they are far away from the agent, the error introduces for assuming a specific model of the obstacles (circles or ellipses) and the error in the estimation of the parameters of the model. In that sense, the Regularity Assumption tells us that the perception that the agent has about the world is not that different from the real world when the configuration of the robot is in a neighborhood of the saddle points of the navigation function.
+A difference between the results in Theorem 1 � complete and deterministic � and Theorems 2 and 3 � local and stochastic � is in the sense in which the navigation is almost surely. While in the deterministic case the navigation is almost surely in the sense that except for a set of initial positions of measure zero �the stable manifold of the saddle points of k(x) � the solutions of the dynamical system x = -k(x) converge to the minimum of the objective function; in the stochastic case the goal is achieved with probability one. This means, that for any initial position the probability of converging to minimum of f0(x) is one. Even when the initial position of the system is a saddle point of k(x).
+VI. ALTERNATIVE ARTIFICIAL POTENTIALS
+Throughout this paper we focused on navigation functions that are of the Rimon Koditschek form, however the results here presented can be generalized to larger classes of artificial potentials. We devote the current section to do so by considering the generic case of any navigation function for which it is possible to build an unbiased estimator of its gradient and for biased gradients of a potential where the obstacles are encoded by a logarithmic barrier. In Section V we showed that under certain geometrical conditions of the free space and the objective function an agent is able to navigate towards to the minimum of the objective function �or to a point that is arbitrarely close� with probability one while remaining in the free space if the agent has access to an unbiased estimate of the gradient of a Rimon-Koditschek navigation function (Theorem 3). We next generalize this result to any free space and suitable navigation functions as long as the estimate of its gradient is unbiased. This allows to consider different families of navigation functions that are suitable for other geometries of the free space e.g. harmonic functions to navigate topologically complex spaces [20], [21].
+
+Then the update rule (10) generates a sequence {xt, t  0}  F and such that limt xt = x.
+
+Proof: The non collision proof is a direct consequence of 1 and the convergence to the minimum of the navigation function follows from lemmas 2 and 3. Observe that these do not depend on the specific form of the free space nor the navigation function selected.
+The previous result generalizes Theorem 2 for any space and suitable navigation function, meaning that following the sequence that arises from descending along the direction of an unbiased stochastic gradient succeeds in navigating towards the minimum of the objective function without running into the free space boundary. Next, we extend the result for biased estimates (c.f. Theorem 3) for a different class of artificial potentials, that of logarithmic barriers. Inspired in the optimization literature we define the following barrier function
+
+1
+
+k(x) = f0(x) - k log((x)).
+
+(55)
+
+The previous potential is not a navigation function since it is
+
+not defined in the boundary and its image is not bounded
+
+between zero and one. However its supremum is at the
+
+boundary of the free space and we will show that all the critical
+
+points of the previous equation are non degenerate and it has
+
+a unique minimum. Differentiate (55) to get
+
+(x)
+
+k(x) = f0(x) -
+
+. k(x)
+
+(56)
+
+Observe that the previous expression is similar to that of the
+
+direction of the gradient considered in 18. In particular the
+
+same fundamental properties of the critical points hold, i.e.,
+
+non degeneracy and polarity follow from analogous proofs to
+
+those in [26]. Since (x) is not zero in the boundary of the
+
+free space (see proof of Lemma 2 in [26]) the critical points can be pushed by increasing k either arbitrarily close to the
+
+minimum of f0(x) or arbitrarily close to (x). In particular, the first one can be showed to be a unique local minima and
+
+the second ones to be saddles. Furthermore the eigenvalues of the Hessian of these critical points depend on k with the same
+
+order as in the case of Rimon-Koditschek artificial potentials.
+
+In that sense if we consider the sensor model discussed in
+
+Section III the assumptions for the bias of the estimate of
+
+the gradient (4 and 5) are reasonable. Hence by following the negative direction of the gradient of k(x)) we converge to a point arbitrarily close to the minimum of f0(x). We state formally this theorem after defining the estimate of the descent
+
+direction current position xt and random vector t
+
+g^(xt,
+
+)
+
+=
+
+^(xt,
+
+t)^ f0(xt,
+
+t)
+
+-
+
+^ (xt, k
+
+t) .
+
+(57)
+
+Observe that the above direction is the estimate of the gradient of k(x) multiplied by (x), this has been done in order to avoid the norm of the estimate being large near the boundary
+
+of the free space.
+
+Corollary 1. Let F be a free space and let  : F  [0, 1] be
+a navigation function (c.f. Definition 2) with minimum at the agent's goal x. Let g^t(xt, t) be an unbiased estimate of the gradient of the navigation function satisfying Assumption 4.
+
+Theorem 4. Let F be the free space defined in (3) verifying
+Assumption 1 and let f0 : X  R be a function satisfying Assumption 2 with minimum at x. Consider the artificial
+potential k : F  R defined in (55) and let g^t(xt, t),
+
+the estimate defined in (57) satisfy the assumptions 4 and
+
+5. Also let (8) hold for all i = 1 . . . m. Let {xt, t  0} be the sequence generated by the update (10) with a step size
+
+satisfying Assumption 3 and 0 < mini i/B with  and B defined in Assumption 4. Then for every  > 0, there exists a
+
+constant K such that if k > K, we have that {xt, t  0}  F and
+
+lim
+t
+
+xt
+
+=
+
+x�
+
+a.e.,
+
+(58)
+
+where x� is a point arbitrarily close to x.
+
+Proof: Observe that non collision is ensured by virtue of Lemma 1. The fact that the critical points of k(x) are non degenerate and that only one of them is a minimum and it can be pushed arbitrarily close to the minimum of f0(x) can be shown in the same way as Lemmas 2-6 in [26]. Hence by virtue of Lemma 4 there exists an energy function such that its critical points are arbitrarily close to those of k(x) and the indexes of said critical points are the same for both functions. Thus Lemma 2 holds for the self indexing energy function. Moreover since all the critical points but one are non degenerate saddles for large enough k and by virtue of Lemma 3 the theorem is proved.
+The previous results extends the result for the biased estimate of the Rimon-Koditschek navigation function to a new class of artificial potentials under the same conditions over the geometry of the free space and the bias. In the next section we study the results of Theorems 3 and 4 numerically.
+
+VII. NUMERICAL EXAMPLES
+We evaluate the performance of the local stochastic approximation of the gradient of the navigation function given in (18) in two different scenarios for which the condition (8) is satisfied. In particular, the estimations of the obstacles are done by considering osculating circles at the closest point of the obstacle to the agent as in Section III-A. In Section VII-A the free space is such that the obstacles are ellipsoids and in section VII-B these are egg shaped. In both cases the external boundary of the free space is a spherical shell of center c0 and radius r0.
+
+A. Elliptical obstacles
+In this section we consider m elliptical obstacles in R2. For i = 1 . . . m, let Ai  M2�2 be symmetric and positive definite matrices, and let �imin > 0 be the minimum eigenvalue of matrix Ai. We describe the obstacles in a functional form through the following functions
+
+i(x) = (x - ci)T Ai(x - ci) - �iminri2.
+
+(59)
+
+where ci  X is the center of the i-th ellipse and ri > 0 is the length of its largest axis. With this selection of i(x) the i-th obstacle is defined as
+
+Oi = x  X i(x) < 0 .
+
+(60)
+
+In these experiments we place the center of each ellipsoid in a different orthant. In particular, each center is set to be in the position L(�1, �1) and then we add a random variation drawn
+
+uniformly from [-, ]2, where 0 <  < L. The maximum axis of the ellipse � ri� is drawn uniformly from [r0/10, r0/5] and the matrices Ai for i = 1...m are such that they are orthogonal and their eigenvalues are random and uniformly selected from the interval [1, 2]. We verify that the obstacles resulting of the previous process do not intersect. If they do, we re draw all previous parameters. For the objective function we consider a quadratic cost given by f0(x) = (x-x)T Q(x- x), where x is drawn uniformly over [-r0/2, r0/2]2 and we verify that it is in the free space. The matrix Q  M2�2 is a random positive definite symmetric matrix whose eigenvalues are selected as follows. For each obstacle we compute the maximum condition number that Q could have in order to satisfy condition (8). Let Ncond be the maximum among these admissible condition numbers. Then, the eigenvalues of Q are selected randomly from [1, Ncond + 1], hence ensuring that (8) is satisfied. For the estimates of the objective function, its gradient, the distance to the obstacles, the normal direction to them and their curvature we consider independent gaussian additive noise with mean zero and standard deviation q. The step size selected for the update (10) is of the form t = 0/(1 + t) and the initial position is selected randomly over [-r0, r0]2.
+For this experiment we set the parameters to be c0 = 0, r0 = 20, L = 6,  = 1, f0 = f0 = 1 and di = Ri = ni = di(x)/10. The selection of a variance that depends on the the distance is done so to ensure that the closer the agent is to the boundary of the free space the better the estimation of the obstacle is. In particular, at the boundary we have that di = Ri = ni = 0. We set the constant at which the agent is able to measure an obstacle [c.f. (13)] to be c = 7. Finally, the parameters of the step size are 0 = 5 � 10-2 and  = 5 � 10-3 and we run each simulation 100 steps.
+In Figure 1 we observe the behavior of the system that follows the local and stochastic update (10) � marked with stars � and that of the system following the gradient dynamical system x = -k(x)� solid lines � for five different initial conditions. In Figure 1a the order parameter is set to be k = 7 while in 1b it is set to be 12. In both cases it can be observed that the local and stochastic update succeeds in generating a sequence that remains in the free space and that converges to the minimum of the objective function. It is also observed that the direction in which the agent moves while following the local update differs from that of the agent following the gradient of the navigation function. This result is not surprising in virtue of the fact that as discussed in Section III-A the model selected results in a biased estimate of the gradient of the navigation function.
+However notice that by increasing k the two trajectories become closer to each other. This effect can be observed by comparing the trajectories depicted in figures 1a and 1b where the order parameter k is set to be 7 and 12 respectively. This result is expected because as discussed in Section III-A the bias is such that its norm is decreasing with k. In particular by selecting k large enough the bias could be reduced arbitrarily. Notice that when the order parameter k is increased the sequence resulting from the stochastic approximation is not modified as much as the trajectory that considers complete

We observe that the larger the order parameter k is, the closer the trajectory resulting from stochastic approximation is to the trajectory resulting of descending along the gradient of the navigation function (7).

+
+information about the free space. This is because the larger the value of k the smaller is the effect of obstacles that are far from the agent as compared to the gradient of the objective function (c.f. (7)). Thus in a sense higher value of k resembles to considering only nearby obstacles as in the case of the stochastic approximation.
+The effect of the standard deviations of the noise in the estimation of the obstacles with which the simulations were done is illustrated in Figure 2 by the green circles depicted. In particular, for the initial position of one of the trajectories depicted in Figure 1a we observe the estimation of the closest obstacle to that position in the noiseless case 2a and the estimate with noise 2b.

The obstacle being horizontal translates into the fact that the function i(x) representing the obstacle takes the following form

+B. Egg shaped world obstacles
+In this section we consider egg shaped obstacles as an example of convex obstacles different than ellipses. We draw the center of the each obstacle, ci, from a uniform distribution
+
+Notice that the functions i as defined above are not convex on R2, however since their Hessians are positive definite outside the obstacles it is possible to define a convex extension of
+them inside the obstacles. This is not needed because the agent
+operates in the free space and therefore there is no difference

+In Figure 3 we observe the level sets of the navigation function (7) and the trajectories resulting from the stochastic approximation (10) �marked with stars� and from descending along the direction of the negative gradient of the navigation function for k = 15. It can be observed that the update (10) succeeds in driving the agent to the goal configuration given by the minimum of the objective function f0(x) while remaining in the free space at all times.

+unbiased estimate of the gradient of an artificial potential of the Rimon-Koditschek form is capable of navigating towards the minimum of this objective function while avoiding the obstacles with probability one under the same geometric restrictions than in the deterministic case. Furthermore, for biased estimates we show that if near the saddle points of the navigation function the bias is not too large the same holds true. Numerical experiments support the theoretical results.
+APPENDIX
+A. Proof of Lemma 3
+
+C. Logarithmic barrier
+In this section we evaluate the performance of the descent along the direction of the negative gradient of the logarithmic barrier artificial potential in (57). For this experiments the obstacles and the boundary of the workspace are selected as in Section VII-A and the parameters selected are set to c0 = 0, r0 = 20, L = 6,  = 1, f0 = f0 = 1, di = Ri = ni = di(x)/10 and k = 10. In Figure 4 we depict the trajectory of an agent starting at different initial positions. As it can be observed the agent succeeds in reaching the minimum of the objective function f0(x) while avoiding the obstacles. By comparing these trajectories to those in figures 1a and 1a �which were generated by following the gradient of the Rimon-Koditschek artificial potential� we observe that the logarithmic barrier artificial potential results in paths that pass closer to the obstacles.
+VIII. CONCLUSIONS
+We considered a set with convex holes in which an agent must navigate to the minimum of a convex function. The objective function and the obstacles are unknown a priori to the agent and sensorial information about these is available to him. In particular, this information is local and stochastic. We showed that an agent that is capable of constructing an
+
+Let us add and subtract tE g^t(xt, t) Gt to (10)
+
+xt+1 = xt - t g^t(xt, t) - E g^t(xt, t) Gt (63)
+- tE g^t(xt, t) Gt .
+
+Since g^t(xt, ) is an unbiased estimator of the gradient of the function V (x) we can think of the expression
+g^t(xt, t) - E g^t(xt, t) Gt as an error et between the stochastic gradient and the gradient of the function V (x). With this definition the above equation can be written as
+
+xt+1 = xt - tV (xt) - tet,
+
+(64)
+
+where et is a random vector whose expected value is zero and it is bounded with probability one because g^t(xt, t) is bounded with probability one. Let xc be a saddle point of the energy function V (x) and let H denote the Hessian of V (x) evaluated at xc, i.e., H = 2V (xc). Then, we have that V (xt) = H(xt - xc) + o( xt - xc 2). Replacing this expression for the gradient of V (xt) in (64) yields,
+xt+1 - xc = (I - tH)(xt - xc) + t o( xt - xc 2) - et . (65)

+Without loss of generality we can assume that (x0 - xc)i it is not zero, because in finite time with probability one any

+
+the left hand side of (74) is equal to zero. However, the
+
+right hand side of (74) diverges since i < 0 which is a
+
+contradiction. In fact, in order to ensure divergence of the
+
+right hand side of (74) we need to show that C = (x0 - xc)i only in a set of zero measure. Since we are assuming that
+
+limt xt = xc the approximation errors o( xs - xc ) are arbitrarily small. Thus, in order to have C = (x0 - xc)i
+
+it must be the case that the sum of independent random
+
+variables (es)i weighted by its corresponding coefficients is equal to (x0 - xc)i. Which cannot hold since these are
+
+independent of the initial position. Thus, the set for which
+
+limt xt() = xc has measure zero. Thus completing the
+
+proof of the Lemma.
+
+B. Proof of Lemma 4
+To develop the proof of Lemma 4 we need the definition of a gradient like vector field and a theorem by Smale that states that any gradient like vector field on a manifold has a self indexing energy function [31]. We formalize this result next after providing the definition of a gradient like vector field.
+Definition 3 (Gradient like vector field). Let x  Rn and let g : Rn  Rn be a smooth function, we say that g(x) is a gradient like vector field if its non wandering set consists of finitely many hyperbolic equilibrium states and the stable and unstable manifolds of singular points intersect transversally.
+Instead of presenting the original version of Smale's Theorem in [31] we provide a more recent version of it that can be found in [32].
+Theorem 5. Let M n be a smooth closed orientable manifold and let g(x) : M n  [0, n] be a gradient-like vector field, then, there exists a function V : M n  R such that
+(i) is twice differentiable and all of its critical points are nondegenerate,
+
+(ii) its critical points coincide with the set of the critical points of g(x)
+(iii) V (x) = V (x)T g(x) < 0, for any x such that g(x) = 0
+(iv) V(x) = ind(x) for x such that g(x) = 0.
+
+Proof: See Theorem B in [31].
+In virtue of the previous theorem to prove the existence of
+a function Vk(x) satisfying (52) and (53) it suffices to show that the vector field k(x) + bk(x) is gradient-like. This however is not possible since bk(x) is not differentiable but piece-wise differentiable (c.f. Assumption 5). We consider then a smooth approximation bdkiff (x) of the bk(x) and show that k(x) + bdkiff (x) is gradient like. We formalize this result in the next lemma thus showing that a self indexing function
+for the smooth approximation of the vector field of interest
+exists.
+
+Lemma 5. Let F be the free space defined in (3) verifying
+Assumption 1 and let k : F  [0, 1] be the function defined
+in (7). Let max, min be the bounds from Assumption 2 and �imin be the minimum eigenvalue of the Hessian of i(x). Furthermore let (8) hold for all i = 1 . . . m and let bk(x) satisfy Assumption 5. Define a smooth approximation bdkiff (x) of bk(x), then there exists a constant K such that if k > K, the vector field k(x) + bdkiff (x) is gradient like.
+
+Proof: Observe that k(x) and bk(x) share a commun factor 1/(f0(x)k + (x))1+1/k. Since this factor is strictly
+positive it is equivalent to analyze the vector field
+
+x = ~ k(x) + ~bk(x),
+
+(76)
+
+where ~ k(x) = (f0(x)k + (x))1+1/kk(x) and ~bk(x) = (f0(x)k + (x))1+1/kbdkiff (x). Observe that there exists a region, depending on k away of the critical points of k(x)
+such that it holds that
+
+~ k(x) + ~bk(x)
+
+T
+k(x) > 0.
+
+(77)
+
+term in the above equation dominates the Jacobian of ~ k(x). In particular, this implies that the eigenvalues of the Jacobian in a neighborhood of the minimum of k(x) are of the order O(k0). Thus the region around the minimum where the linearized system is conjugate to the original is also independent of k. This means that for large enough k the region where (77) near the minimum is contained in the region where the flow x = -~ k(x) is conjugate to the flow of the linearization. Furthermore, in that region the norm of the linearized field is lower bounded by the eigenvalues of 2f0(x) and this bound is independent of k. On the other hand, we have that limk ~bk(x) C1 = 0. Since the minimum of k(x) is non degenerate the flow x = -~ k(x) is structurally stable and therefore for large enough k x = -~ k(x) - ~bk is conjugate to x = -~ k(x). Which means that the vector field ~ k(x) + ~bk cannot have recurrences in the neighborhood of the minimum of k(x). We are left to show that the same holds true in the neighborhoods of the saddle points of k(x). The latter is a direct consequence of Assumption 5 and the fact that k(x) is Morse-Smale, therefore structurally stable. The above completes the proof that the vector field ~ k(x)+~bk(x) is gradient-like. Since the original vector field of interest is the one analyzed times a strictly positive function the same holds for it thus completing the proof of the lemma.
+The above lemma shows that the vector field k(x) + bdkiff (x) is gradient-like, therefore by virtue of Theorem 5 a function Vk(x) satisfying (52) and (53)
+for an estimate g^t(xt, t) such that E g^t(xt, t Gt =
+(xt) k(x) + bdkiff (x) exists. The same function satisfies (52) and (53) for an estimate g^t(xt, t) with a piece-wise differentiable bias since its discontinuities are away from the obstacles and thus away of the critical points. This completes the proof of the Lemma.

+
+To prove the previous statement, observe that ~bk is strictly decreasing with k (c.f. Assumption 5). Therefore, for any x such that ~ k is bounded away from zero we have that there exists a K for which ~ k(x) dominates the term ~bk(x) and therefore (77) holds. In this region the function k(x) is strictly decreasing along the flow of the differential equation x = - ~ k(x) + ~bk(x) and thus there cannot be
+recurrences. Therefore, it remains to be shown that the flow is
+gradient like in the neighborhood of the critical points where
+(77) is not satisfied. Observe that there exists two types of
+critical points, the minimum of k(x) and the saddles. Let us focus on the neighborhood around the minimum first. To that end we compute the Jacobian of ~ k(x)

+TOPOLOGY AND NESTING OF THE ZERO SET COMPONENTS OF MONOCHROMATIC RANDOM WAVES
+YAIZA CANZANI AND PETER SARNAK
+Abstract. This paper is dedicated to the study of the topologies and nesting configurations of the components of the zero set of monochromatic random waves. We prove that the probability of observing any diffeomorphism type, and any nesting arrangement, among the zero set components is strictly positive for waves of large enough frequencies. Our results are a consequence of building Laplace eigenfunctions in Euclidean space whose zero sets have a component with prescribed topological type, or an arrangement of components with prescribed nesting configuration.
+
+1. Introduction
+
+For n  1 let E1(Rn) denote the linear space of entire (real valued) eigenfunctions f of the Laplacian  whose eigenvalue is 1
+
+f + f = 0.
+
+(1)
+
+The zero set of f is the set V (f ) = {x  Rn : f (x) = 0}.
+
+The zero set decomposes into a collection of connected components which we denote by C(f ). Our interest is in the topology of V (f ) and of the members of C(f ). Let H(n - 1) denote the (countable and discrete) set of diffeomorphism classes of compact connected smooth (n - 1)-dimensional manifolds that can be embedded in Rn. The compact components c in C(f ) give rise to elements t(c) in H(n - 1) (here we are assuming that f is generic with respect to a Gaussian measure so that V (f ) is smooth, see Section 2). The connected components of Rn\V (f ) are the nodal domains of f and our interest is in their nesting properties, again for generic f . To each compact c  C(f ) we associate a finite connected rooted tree as follows. By the Jordan-Brouwer separation Theorem [Li] each component c  C(f ) has an exterior and interior. We choose the interior to be the compact end. The nodal domains of f , which are in the interior of c, are taken to be the vertices of a graph. Two vertices share an edge if the respective nodal domains have a common boundary component (unique if there is one). This gives a finite connected rooted tree denoted e(c); the root being the domain adjacent to c (see Figure 2). Let T be the collection (countable and discrete) of finite connected rooted trees. Our main results are that any topological type and any rooted tree can be realized by elements of E1(Rn).
+
+Theorem 1. Given t  H(n - 1) there exists f  E1(Rn) and c  C(f ) for which t(c) = t.
+
+Theorem 2. Given T  T there exists f  E1(Rn) and c  C(f ) for which e(c) = T .

+
+Theorems 1 and 2 are of basic interest in the understanding of the possible shapes of nodal sets and domains of eigenfunctions in Rn (it applies equally well to any eigenfunction with eigenvalue 2 > 0 instead of 1). Our main purpose however is to
+apply it to derive a basic property of the universal monochromatic measures �C and
+�X whose existence was proved in [SW]. We proceed to introduce these measures. Let (Sn, g) be the n-sphere endowed with a smooth, Riemannian metric g. Our
+results apply equally well with Sn replaced by any compact smooth manifold M ; we restrict to Sn as it allows for a very clean formulation. Consider an orthonormal basis {j} j=1 for L2(Sn, g) consisting of real-valued eigenfunctions, gj = -2j j. A monochromatic random wave on (Sn, g) is the Gaussian random field f = f,
+
+f := D-,1/2
+
+aj j ,
+
+(2)
+
+j [,+]
+
+where the aj's are real valued i.i.d standard Gaussians, aj  N (0, 1)R,  = () is a non-negative function satisfying () = o() as   , and D, = #{j : j  [,  + ]}. When choosing   0 the 's we consider in forming the f,'s
+are the square roots of the Laplace eigenvalues. To a monochromatic random wave we
+
+associate its (compact) nodal set V (f ) and a corresponding finite set of nodal domains.
+
+The connected components of V (f ) are denoted by C(f ) and each c  C(f ) yields a
+
+t(c)  H(n - 1). Each c  C(f ) also gives a tree end e(c) in T which is chosen to be the
+
+smaller of the two rooted trees determined by the inside and outside of c  Sn. The
+
+topology of V (f ) is described completely by the probability measure �C(f) on H(n - 1) given by
+
+�C(f )
+
+:=
+
+1 |C(f )|
+
+t(c),
+
+cC(f )
+
+where t is a point mass at t  H(n - 1). Similarly, the distribution of nested ends of nodal domains of f is described by the measure �X(f) on T given by
+
+�X(f )
+
+:=
+
+1 |C(f )|
+
+e(c),
+
+cC(f )
+
+with e is the point mass at e  T . The main theorem in [SW] asserts that there exist probability measures �C and �X
+on H(n - 1) and T respectively to which �C(f) and �X(f) approach as   , for almost all f = f,, provided one has that for every x0  Sn
+
+sup ukvj Cov(fx,0(u), fx,0(v)) - Cov(fx0 (u), fx0 (v)) = o(1),
+
+(3)
+
+u,vB(0,r)
+
+as   . Here, r = o(), fx,0 : Tx0Sn  R is the localized wave on Tx0Sn defined as
+
+fx,0(u) = f,
+
+expx0
+
+(
+
+u 
+
+)
+
+, and fx0
+
+is the Gaussian random field on Tx0Sn
+
+characterized
+
+by the covariance kernel Cov(fx0 (u), fx0 (v)) = Sx0 Sn ei u-v,w gx0 dw (see Section 2). The probability measures �C and �X are universal in that they only depend on the
+
+dimension n of M .
+
+Monochromatic random waves on the n-sphere equipped with the round metric are
+
+known as random spherical harmonics whenever   0. It is a consequence of the
+
+ZERO SET OF MONOCHROMATIC RANDOM WAVES
+
+3
+
+Mehler-Heine [Meh] asymptotics that they satisfy condition (3) for all x0  Sn. Also, on any (Sn, g) the fields f, with    satisfy condition (3) for all x0  Sn. Finally, monochromatic random waves f, on (Sn, g) with   c, for some c > 0, satisfy condition (3) for every x0  Sn satisfying that the set of geodesic loops that close at x0 has measure 0 (see [CH]). On general manifolds one can define monochromatic random waves just as in (Sn, g). Monochromatic random waves with   0 on the ntorus are known as arithmetic random waves. They satisfy condition (3) for all x0  Tn if n  5, and on Tn with 2  n  4 provided we work with a density one subsequence of 's [EH]. On general (M, g) monochromatic random waves with   c, for some c > 0, satisfy condition (3) for every x0  M satisfying that the set of geodesic loops that close at x0 has measure 0 (see [CH]). Examples of such manifolds are surfaces without conjugate points, or manifolds whose sectional curvature is negative everywhere.
+Our main application of Theorems 1 and 2 is the following result.
+Theorem 3. Let (Sn, g) be the n-sphere equipped with a smooth Riemannian metric.
+Let �C and �X be the limit measures (introduced in [SW]) arising from monochromatic random waves on (Sn, g) for which condition (3) is satisfied for every x0  Sn.
+(i) The support of �C is H(n - 1). That is, every atom of H(n - 1) is positively charged by �C.
+
+(ii) The support of �X is all of T . That is, every atom of T is positively charged by �X .
+
+Remark 1. Theorem 3 asserts that every topological type that can occur will do so with a positive probability for the universal distribution of topological types of random monochromatic waves in [SW]. The reduction from Theorems 1 and 2 to Theorem 3 is abstract and is based on the `soft' techniques in [NS, SW] (see also Section 2). In particular, it offers us no lower bounds for these probabilities. Developing such lower bounds is an interesting problem. The same applies to the tree ends.
+
+Remark 2. Theorem 3 holds for monochromatic random waves on general compact,
+smooth, Riemannian manifolds (M, g) without boundary. Part (i) actually holds without modification. The reason why we state the result on the round sphere Sn is that, by the Jordan-Brouwer separation Theorem [Li], on Sn every component of the zero set separates Sn into two distinct components. This gives that the nesting graph for
+the zero sets is a rooted tree. On general (M, g) this is not necessarily true, so there
+is no global way to define a tree that describes the nesting configuration of the zero set in all of M , for all c  C(f ). However, according to [NS2] almost all c's localize to
+small coordinate patches and hence our arguments apply.
+
+We end the introduction with an outline of the paper. Theorem 1 for n = 3 (which is the first interesting case) is proved in [SW] by deformation of the eigenfunction
+
+u(x, y, z) = sin(x) sin(y) + sin(x) sin(z) + sin(y) sin(z).
+
+(4)
+
+The proof exploits that the space H(2) is simply the set of orientable compact surfaces which are determined by their genus. So in engineering a component of a deformation of f to have a given genus it is clear what to aim for in terms of how the singularities (all are conic) of f = 0 resolve. For n  4, little is known about the space H(n - 1)

+
+and we proceed in Section 3 quite differently. We apply Whitney's approximation Theorem to realize t as an embedded real analytic submanifold of Rn. Then, following some techniques in [EP] we find suitable approximations of f  E1(Rn) and whose zero set contains a diffeomorphic copy of t. The construction of f hinges on the Lax-
+Malgrange Theorem and Thom's Isotopy Theorem. As far as Theorem 2, the case
+n = 2 is resolved in [SW] using a deformation of sin(x) sin(y) and a combinatorial
+chess board type argument. In higher dimensions, for example n = 3 we proceed in
+Section 4 by deforming
+
+u(x, y, z) = sin(x) sin(y) sin(z).
+
+(5)
+
+This f has enough complexity (as compared to the u in (4)) to produce all elements in T after deformation. However, it is much more difficult to study. Unlike (4) or sin(x) sin(y), the zero set u-1(0) in (5) has point and 1-dimensional edge singularities. The analysis of its resolution under deformation requires a lot of care, especially as far as engineering elements of T . The pay off as we noted is that it is rich enough to prove Theorem 2.
+In Section 2 we review some of the theory of monochromatic Gaussian fields and their representations. Section 3 is devoted to the proof of Theorem 1. Section 4 is devoted to the proof of Theorem 2. The latter begins with an interpolation theorem of Mergelyan type, for elements in E1(Rn). We use that to engineer deformations of (5) which achieve the desired tree end, this being the most delicate aspect of the paper.
+
+2. Monochromatic Gaussian waves
+
+Our interest is in the monochromatic Gaussian field on Rn which is a special case of
+
+the band limited Gaussian fields considered in [SW], and which is fundamental in the
+
+proof of [SW, Theoem 1.1]. For 0    1, define the annulus A = {  Rn :  
+||  1} and let  be the Haar measure on A normalized so that (A) = 1. Using
+that the transformation   - preserves A we choose a real valued orthonormal basis {j} j=1 of L2(A, ) satisfying
+
+j(-) = (-1)j j(),
+
+j  {0, 1}.
+
+(6)
+
+The band limited Gaussian field Hn, is defined to be the random real valued functions
+
+f on Rn given by
+
+
+f (x) = bj ij j(x)
+
+(7)
+
+j=1
+
+where
+
+j(x) = j()e-i x, d()
+

+
+Rn
+
+and the bj's are identically distributed, independent, real valued, standard Gaussian
+
+variables. We note that the field Hn, does not depend on the choice of the orthonormal
+
+basis {j}.

+
+In this case there is also a natural choice of a basis for L2(Sn-1, d) = L2(A1, �1) given by spherical harmonics. Let {Ym}dm=1 be a real valued basis for the space of spherical harmonics E (Sn-1) of eigenvalue ( + n - 2), where d = dim E (Sn-1). We
+
+compute the Fourier transforms for the elements of this basis.

+
+Proof. We give a proof using the theory of point pair invariants [Sel] which places such calculations in a general and conceptual setting. The sphere Sn-1 with its round metric is a rank 1 symmetric space and x , y for x , y  Sn-1 is a point pair invariant (here , is the standard inner product on Rn restricted to Sn-1). Hence, by the
+theory of these pairs we know that for every function h : R  C we have
+
+h( x , y ) Y (y) d(y) = h( )Y (x ),
+
+(12)
+
+Sn-1
+
+where Y is any spherical harmonic of degree and h( ) is the spherical transform. The latter can be computed explicitly using the zonal spherical function of degree .
+
+Fix any x  Sn-1 and let Zx be the unique spherical harmonic of degree which is rotationally invariant by motions of Sn-1 fixing x and so that Zx (x ) = 1. Then,
+
+h( ) =
+
+h( x , y )Zx (y) d(y).

+
+f - h Ct(K) < .
+
+That is, we can approximate f on compact subsets in the Ct-topology by elements of
+
+P1 and T1 respectively.

+
+Remark 3. For   Rn open, let E1() denote the eigenfunctions on  satisfying f (x) + f (x) = 0 for x  . Any function g on  which is a limit (uniform over
+compact subsets of ) of members of E1 must be in E1(). While the converse is not true in general, note that if  = B is a ball in Rn, then the proof of Proposition 6
+shows that the uniform limits of members of E1 (or P1, or T1) on compact subsets in B is precisely E1(B).
+
+With these equivalent means of approximating functions by suitable members of Hn,1, and particularly E1(Rn), we are ready to prove Theorems 1 and 2. Indeed, as
+shown in [SW] the extension of condition (4) of [NS2, Theorem 1] suffices. Namely, for c  H(n - 1) it is enough to find an f  T1 with f -1(0) containing c as one of
+its components for Theorem 1, and for T  T it suffices to find an f  T1 such that e(c) = T for some component c of f -1(0).
+
+3. Topology of the zero set components
+In this section we prove Theorem 1. By the discussion above it follows that given a representative c of a class t(c)  H(n - 1), it suffices to find f  E1(Rn) for which C(f ) contains a diffeomorphic copy of c.
+To begin the proof we claim that we may assume that c is real analytic. Indeed, if we start with c~ smooth, of the desired topological type, we may construct a tubular neighbourhood Vc~ of c~ and a smooth function
+Hc~ : Vc~  R with c~ = Hc~-1(0).
+
+8
+
+Y. CANZANI AND P. SARNAK
+
+Note that without loss of generality we may assume that infxVc~ Hc~(x) > 0. Fix any > 0. We apply Thom's isotopy Theorem [AR, Thm 20.2] to obtain the existence of a constant c~ > 0 so that for any function F with F - Hc~ C1(Vc~) < c~ there exists F : Rn  Rn diffeomorphism with
+F (c~) = F -1(0)  Vc~.
+To construct a suitable F we use Whitney's approximation Theorem [Wh, Lemma 6] which yields the existence of a real analytic approximation F : Vc~  Rmc~ of Hc~ that satisfies F - Hc~ C1(Vc~) < c~. It follows that c~ is diffeomorphic to c := F (c~) and c is real analytic as desired.
+By the Jordan-Brouwer Separation Theorem [Li], the hypersurface c separates Rn into two connected components. We write Ac for the corresponding bounded component of Rn\c. Let 2 be the first Dirichlet eigenvalue for the domain Ac and let h be the corresponding eigenfunction:
+
+( + 2)h(x) = 0 x  Ac,
+
+h(x) = 0
+
+x  c.
+
+Consider the rescaled function
+
+h(x) := h(x/),
+
+defined on the rescaled domain Ac := {x  Rn : x/  Ac}. Since ( + 1)h = 0 in Ac, and (Ac) is real analytic, h may be extended to some open set Bc  Rn with
+
+Ac  Bc so that
+
+( + 1)h(x) = 0 x  Bc,
+
+h(x) = 0
+
+x  c,
+
+where c is the rescaled hypersurface c := {x  Rn : x/  c}. Note that since h is the first Dirichlet eigenfunction, then we know that there exists a tubular neighbour-
+hood Vc of c on which infxVc h(x) > 0 (see Lemma 3.1 in [BHM]). Without loss of generality assume that Vc  Bc.
+We apply Thom's isotopy Theorem [AR, Thm 20.2] to obtain the existence of a
+constant  > 0 so that for any function f with f - h C1(Vc) <  there exists f : Rn  Rn diffeomorphism so that
+
+f (c) = f -1(0)  Vc.
+
+Since Rn\Bc has no compact components, Lax-Malgrange's Theorem [Kr, p. 549] yields the existence of a global solution f : Rn  R to the elliptic equation (+1)f = 0 in Rn with
+f - h C1(Bc) < .
+We have then constructed a solution to ( + 1)f = 0 in Rn, i.e. f  E1, for which f -1(0) contains a diffeomorphic copy of c (namely, f (c)). This concludes the proof of the theorem.
+
+We note that the problem of finding a solution to ( + 1)f = 0 for which C(f ) con-
+tains a diffeomorphic copy of c is related to the work [EP] of A. Enciso and D. PeraltaSalas. In [EP] the authors seek to find solutions to the problem ( - q)f = 0 in Rn so
+
+ZERO SET OF MONOCHROMATIC RANDOM WAVES
+
+9
+
+that C(f ) contains a diffeomorphic copy of c, where q is a nonnegative, real analytic, potential and c is a (possibly infinite) collection of compact or unbounded "tentacled" hypersurfaces. The construction of the solution f that we presented is shares ideas with [EP]. Since our setting and goals are simpler than theirs, the construction of f is much shorter and straightforward.
+
+4. Nesting of nodal domains
+
+The proof of Theorem 2 consists in perturbing the zero set of the eigenfunction
+u0(x1, . . . , xn) = sin(x1) . . . sin(xn) so that the zero set of the perturbed function will have the desired nesting. The nodal domains of u0 build a n-dimensional chess board made out of unit cubes. By adding a small perturbation to u0 the changes of topology in u-0 1(0) can only occur along the singularities of u-0 1(0). Therefore, we will build an eigenfunction f , satisfying -f = f , by prescribing it along the singularities L = a,bZ ni,j=1, i=j {(x1, . . . , xn)  Rn : xi = a, xj = b} of the zero set of u0. We then construct a new eigenfunction u = u0 + f which will have the desired nesting among a subset of its nodal domains. The idea is to prescribe f on the singularities of
+the zero set of u0 in such a way that two adjacent cubes of the same sign will either glue or disconnect along the singularity. The following theorem shows that one can always find a solution f to -f = f with prescribed values on a set of measure zero
+(such as L). We prove this result following the first step of Carleson's proof [Car] of
+Mergelyan's classical Theorem about analytic functions.
+
+Theorem 7. Let K  Rn be a compact set with Lebesgue measure 0 and so that Rn\K is connected. Then, for every  > 0 and h  Cc2(Rn) there exists f : Rn  R satisfying
+-f = f and sup{|f - h| + f - h }  .
+K
+Remark 4. In the statement of the theorem the function h  Cc2(Rn) can be replaced by h  Cc1(), where   Rn is any open set with K  . This is because Cc2(Rn) is dense in Cc1() in the C1-topology.
+Proof. Consider the sets
+
+A = {(, x1, . . . , xn) :   ker( + 1)}, B = {(, x1, . . . , xn) :   Cc2(Rn)},
+and write AK, BK for the restrictions of A, B to K. Both AK and BK are subsets of the Banach space nk=0C(K), and clearly AK  BK C0 . It follows that the claim in the theorem is equivalent to proving that
+
+BK  AK C0 .
+
+(20)
+
+To prove (20), note that a distribution D in the dual space (nk=0C(K)) can be identified with an (n + 1)-tuple of measures (0, 1, . . . , n) with j  (C(K)) for each j = 0, . . . n. That is, for each (0, 1, . . . , n)  nj=0C(K),
+

+
+D(0, 1, . . . , n) =
+
+j dj.
+
+(21)
+
+j=0 K
+
+10
+
+Y. CANZANI AND P. SARNAK
+
+Since AK C0 = (AK), proving (20) is equivalent to showing that for each D  (nk=0C(K)) satisfying D() = 0 for all   AK, one has that D() = 0 for all   BK. Using that each D  (nk=0C(K)) is supported in K, we have reduced our problem to showing that
+
+If D (nk=0C(K)) satisfies D() = 0   A,
+
+then D() = 0   B.
+
+(22)
+
+We proceed to prove the claim in (22). Fix D  (nk=0C(K)) satisfying the assumption in (22). Given   Cc2(Rn) we need to prove that D(, y1, . . . , yn) = 0. Consider the fundamental solution

+
+The claim that D(, y1, . . . , yn) = 0 follows from the fact that F (x) = 0 for x  R3 \ K. To see this, let R > 0 be large enough so that K  B(0, R). Then,
+for x  Rn\B(0, R), the map x(y) := N (x, y) is in ker( + 1)|B(0,R). Applying Proposition 6 we know that there exists a sequence {x}  ker( + 1) for which

+x - x C1(B(0,R)) - 0.

+Its nodal domains consist of a collection of cubes whose vertices lie on the grid Z3. Throughout this note the cubes are considered to be closed sets, so faces and vertices are included.

We define the collection B+ of all sets  that are built as a finite union of cubes with the following two properties:

We define E(C) to be the set obtained by adding to C all the negative cubes that touch C, even if they share only one point with C. By construction E(C)  B-. If C  B-, the set E(C) is defined in the same form only that one adds positive cubes to C. In this case E(C)  B+.

+Join operation. Given C  B+  B- we distinguish two vertices using the lexicographic order. Namely, for any set of vertices   Z3, for i  {1, 2, 3} we set
+Ami in = (x1, x2, x3)   : xi = min{xi : (x1, x2, x3)  }  Z3.
+In the same way we define Ami ax replacing the minimum function above by the maximum one. For C  B+  B-, let C = C  Z3 be the set of vertices of cubes in C. We then set
+v+(C) = Am1 ax(Am2 ax(Am3 ax(C ))) and v-(C) = Am1 in(Am2 in(Am3 in(C ))).
+Given the vertex v+(C) we define the edge e+(C) to be the edge in C that has vertex v+(C) and is parallel to the x-axis. The edge e-(C) is defined in the same way.
+We may now define the "join" operation. Given C1  B+ and C2  B+ we define J(C1, C2)  B+ as follows. Let C~2 be the translated copy of C2 for which e+(C1) coincides with e-(C~2). We "join" C1 and C2 as
+J (C1, C2) = C1  C~2.
+In addition, for a single set C we define J(C) = C, and if there are multiple sets C1, . . . , Cn we define
+J (C1, . . . , Cn) = J (C1, J (C2, J (C3, . . . J (Cn-1, Cn)))).

+Definition of the rough nested domains. Let T :=  k=0Nk. A rooted tree is characterized as a finite set of nodes T  T satisfying that

+
+for all i  j.
+
+To shorten notation, if v  T is a node with N children, we denote the children by
+(v, 1), . . . , (v, N ). Given a tree T we associate to each node v  T a structure Cv  R3 defined as
+follows. If the node v  T is a leaf, then Cv is a cube of the adequate sign. For the rest of the nodes we set
+
+Cv = J E(C(v,1)), . . . , E(C(v,N)) ,

+4.2. Building the perturbation. Let v  T be a node with N children. We define the set of edges connected to Cv on which the perturbation will be defined.
+
+14
+
+Y. CANZANI AND P. SARNAK
+
+� We let Ejoin(Cv) be the set of edges in Cv through which the structures {E(C(v,j))}Nj=1 are joined. We will take these edges to be open. That is, the edges in Ejoin(Cv) do not include their vertices.
+
+� We let Eext(Cv) be the set of edges in Sext(Cv) that are not in Ejoin(Cv). Here Sext(Cv) is the surface
+
+Sext(Cv) := {x  R3 : dmax x, Nj=1Cv,j = 1}.
+
+(24)
+
+If v is a leaf, we set Sext(Cv) = Cv. All the edges in Eext(Cv) are taken to be closed (so they include the vertices).
+
+� We let Eint(Cv) be the set of edges that connect Sext(Cv) with Sext(Cv,j) for some j  {1, . . . , N }. If v is a leaf, then we set Eint(Cv) = .
+
+Remark 5. Note that if v  T , and Cv  B-, then E(Cv)\Cv is the set of positive cubes that are in the bounded component of Sext(Cv) and touch Sext(Cv). Also, if a negative cube in R3\Cv is touching Cv, then it does so through an edge in Eext(Cv).

+Eint(C(1,2))
+
+Remark 6. Given a node v with children {(v, j)}Nj=1, let G(C(v,j)) be the set of edges in {x  R3 : d(x, C(v,j)) = 1}. It is clear that for each j = 1, . . . , N the set G(C(v,j)) is connected. Also, Eext(Cv) = Nj=1G(C(v,j))\Ejoin(Cv). Since the edges in Ejoin(Cv) are open, the structures Eext(Cv) are connected.
+We proceed to define a perturbation h : K  R, where
+K = Eext(Cv)  Eint(Cv)  Ejoin(Cv).
+vT
+We note that by construction K is formed by all the edges in C. Also, it is important to note that if two adjacent cubes have the same sign, then they share an edge in K. The function h is defined by the rules A, B and C below.
+
+ZERO SET OF MONOCHROMATIC RANDOM WAVES
+
+15
+
+A) Perturbation on Eext(Cv). Let v  T and assume Cv  B-. We define h on every edge of Eext(Cv) to be 1. If Cv  B+, we define h on every edge of Eext(Cv)
+to be -1.
+
+Rule A is meant to separate Cv from all the exterior cubes of the same sign that surround it. Note that for all v  T we have Eext(Cv)  Eext(C(v,j)) = , where (v, j) is any of the children of v, so Rule A is well defined.
+
+B) Perturbation on Eint(Cv). Let e be an edge in Eint(Cv). Then, we already know that h is 1 on one vertex and -1 on the other vertex. We extend h smoothly to the entire edge e so that it has a unique zero at the midpoint of e, and so that the absolute value of the derivative of h is  1. We also ask for the derivative of h to be 0 at the vertices. For example, if the edge is {(a, b, z) : z  [0, 1]} where a, b, c  Z, we could take h(a, b, z) = cos(z).
+
+Rule B is enforced to ensure that no holes are added between edges that join a structure Cv with any of its children structures C(v,j).
+Next, assume CvB-. Note that for any edge e in Ejoin(Cv) we have that the function h takes the value 1 at their vertices, since those vertices belong to edges in Eext(Cv) and the function h is defined to be 1 on Eext(Cv). We have the same picture if Cv  B+, only that h takes the value -1 on the vertices of all the joining edges. We therefore extend h to be defined on e as follows.
+
+C) Perturbation on Ejoin(Cv). Let v  T and assume Cv  B-. Given an edge in Ejoin(Cv) we already know that h takes the value 1 at the vertices of the edge. We extend h smoothly to the entire edge so that it takes the value -1 at the midpoint of the edge, and so that it only has two roots at which the absolute value of the derivative of h is  1. We further ask h to have zero derivative at the endpoints of the edge. For example, if the edge is {(a, b, z) : z  [c, c + 1]} where a, b, c  Z, we could take h(a, b, z) = cos(2z). In the case in which Cv  B+ we need h to take the value +1 at the midpoint of the edge.
+Rule C is meant to glue the structures {E(C(v,j))}Nj=1 through the middle point of the edges that join them, without generating new holes.
+
+Remark 7. By construction the function h is smooth in the interior of each edge. Furthermore, since we ask the derivative of h to vanish at the vertices in K, the function h can be extended to a function h  C1() where   R3 is an open neighborhood of K.
+Definition 1. Given a tree T , let h  C1() be defined following Rules A, B and C and Remark 7, where   R3 is an open neighborhood of K. Since K is compact and
+
+16

+
+K
+
+For  > 0 small set
+
+u := u0 + f.
+
+We will show in Lemma 9 that the perturbation was built so that the nodal domain of
+
+u corresponding to v  T is constituted by the deformed cubes in
+
+N j=1
+
+E
+
+(C(v,j))\C(v,j
+
+)
+
+after the perturbation is performed.
+
+We illustrate how Rules A, B, and C work in the following examples. In what follows
+
+we shall use repeatedly that the singularities of the zero set of u0 are on the edges and
+
+vertices of the cubes. Therefore, the changes of topology in the zero set can only occur
+
+after perturbing the function u0 along the edges and vertices of the cubes.
+
+Example 1. As an example of how Rules A and B work, we explain how to create
+a domain that contains another nodal domain inside of it. The tree corresponding to
+this picture is given by two nodes, 1 and (1, 1), that are joined by an edge. We start with a positive cube C(1,1)  B+ and work with its engulfment C1 = E(C(1,1))  B-. All the edges of C(1,1) belong to Eext(C(1,1)). Therefore, the function u takes the value - on Eext(C(1,1)). Also, all the positive cubes that touch C(1,1) do so through an edge in Eext(C(1,1)). It follows that all the positive cubes surrounding C(1,1) are disconnected from C(1,1) after the perturbation is performed. The cube C(1,1) then becomes a positive nodal domain (1,1) of u that is contractible to a point.
+
+(1,1)
+
+1
+
+transversal cut of 1
+
+Next, note that all the negative cubes that touch C(1,1) (i.e., cubes in E(C(1,1))\C(1,1)) do so through a face whose edges are in Eext(C(1,1)), or through a vertex that also belongs to one of the edges in Eext(C(1,1)). Therefore, all the negative cubes are glued together after the perturbation is performed, and belong to a nodal domain 1 that contains the connected set Eext(C(1,1)).
+So far we have seen that 1 contains the perturbation of the cubes in E(C(1,1))\C(1,1). We claim that no other cubes are added to 1. Indeed, all the negative cubes that touch the boundary of E(C(1,1)) = C1 do so through edges in Eext(C1). Then, since u takes the value  on Eext(C1), all the surrounding negative cubes are disconnected from
+E(C(1,1)) after we apply the perturbation. Since along the edges connecting C(1,1) with C1 the function u has only one sign change (it goes from - to ) it is clear
+
+ZERO SET OF MONOCHROMATIC RANDOM WAVES
+
+17
+
+that 1 can be retracted to (1,1).
+
+Example 2. Here we explain how Rule C works. Suppose we want to create a nodal
+domain that contains two disjoint nodal domains inside of it. The tree corresponding
+to this picture is given by three nodes, 1, (1, 1), and (1, 2). The node 1 is joined by
+an edge to (1, 1) and by another edge to (1, 2). Assume that C(1,1) and C(1,2) belong to B+. Then, C1 = E(C(1,1))  E(C(1,2))  B-. When each of the structures E(C(1,1)) or E(C(1,1)) are perturbed, we get a copy of the negative nodal domain in Example 1. Since in C1 the structures E(C(1,1)) and E(C(1,1)) are joined by an edge, the two copies of 1 will also be glued. The reason for this is that the function u takes the value - in the middle point of the edge joining E(C(1,1)) and E(C(1,1)). Therefore, a small negative tube connects both structures.

+4.3. Local behavior of the zero set. In this section we explain what our perturbation does to the zero set of u0 at a local level. Given a tree T , and  > 0, let
+u = u0 + f
+be defined as in Definition 1. Using that f is a continuous function, and that we are working on a compact region of Rn (we call it D), it is easy to see that there exists a 0 > 0, so that if T is the -tubular neighborhood of K, then u has no zeros in Tc  C as long as   0 and
+ = c12,
+where c1 is some positive constant that depends only on f C0(D). This follows after noticing that |u0| takes the value 1 at the center of each cube and decreases radially until it takes the value 0 on the boundary of the cube.
+The construction of the tubular neighborhood T yields that in order to understand the behavior of the zero set of u we may restrict ourselves to study it inside T for   0. We proceed to study the zero set of u in a -tubular neighborhood of each edge in K. Assume, without loss of generality, that the edge is the set of points {(0, 0, z) : z  [0, 1]}.
+Vertices. At the vertex (0, 0, 0) the function h takes the value 1 or -1. Assume h(0, 0, 0) = -1 (the study when the value is 1 is identical). In this case, we claim
+
+18
+
+Y. CANZANI AND P. SARNAK
+
+that the zero set of u(x, y, z) near the vertex is diffeomorphic to that of the function (x, y, z) := u0(x, y, z) -  provided  (and hence  = ()) is small enough. To see this, for  > 0 set V to be one of the connected components of u- 1(B(0, )) intersected with T.
+We apply the version of Thom's Isotopy Theorem given in [EP, Theorem 3.1] which
+asserts that for every smooth function satisfying
+
+u -
+
+C1(V)  min
+
+/4, 1 , inf
+V
+
+u
+
+(25)
+
+there exists a diffeomorphism  : R3  R3 making
+
+(u-1(0)  V) = -1(0)  V.
+
+We observe that the statement of [EP, Theorem 3.1] gives the existence of an  > 0
+so that the diffeomorphism can be built provided  - u C1(V)  . However, it can be tracked from the proof that  can be chosen to be as in the RHS of (25).
+Applying [EP, Theorem 3.1] to the function  we obtain what we claim provided we can verify (25). First, note that u -  C1(V) = (f - 1) C1(V). It is then easy to check that
+
+u -  C1(V)  c2
+
+(26)
+
+for some c2 > 0 depending only on f C0(D). Next, we find a lower bound for the gradient of u when restricted to the zero set u- 1(0). Note that for (x, y, z)  T  u- 1(0) we have
+
+u(x, y, z) =  - f (x, y, z) cot(x), cot(y), cot(z) + f (x, y, z) (27)

+we choose  = c3 for a constant c3 > 0 depending only on f , and for  small enough. In the image below the first figure shows the zero set of u0 near 0. The other two
+figures are of the zero set of (x, y, z).
+
+ZERO SET OF MONOCHROMATIC RANDOM WAVES
+

+
+This shows that at each vertex where h takes the value -1 the negative cubes that touch the vertex are glued together while the positive ones are disconnected.
+Edges. Having dealt with the vertices we move to describe the zero set of the perturbation near a point inside the edge. There are three cases. In the first case (case A) the perturbation h is strictly positive (approx. ) or strictly negative (approx -) along the edge. In the second case (case B) the perturbation f is strictly positive (approx. ) at one vertex and strictly negative (approx. -) at the other vertex. In the third case (case C), the edge is joining two adjacent structures so the perturbation f takes the same sign at the vertices ( it is approx. ) and the opposite sign (it is approx. ) at the midpoint of the edge having only two zeros along the edge.
+In case A the zero set of u(x, y, z) near the edge is diffeomorphic to the zero set of the map (x, y, z) := u0(x, y, z) - . The proof of this claim is the same as the one given near the vertices, so we omit it. In the picture below the first figure shows the zero set of u0 near the edge while the second figure shows the zero set of .
+
+This shows that two cubes of the same sign, say negative, that are connected through an edge are going to be either glued if the perturbation takes the value -1 along the edge, or disconnected if the perturbation takes the value +1 along the edge.
+
+In case B, it is clear that the only interesting new behavior will occur near the
+
+points on the edge at which the function f vanishes. Since
+
+h-f
+
+C1() <
+
+1 100
+
+and
+
+h(0, 0, b) = 0, there is only one point at which f vanishes; say the point is (0, 0, b). Note
+
+that f was built so that (0, 0, b) is the only zero of f along the edge. We claim that
+
+the zero set of u near (0, 0, b) is diffeomorphic to the zero set of the map (x, y, z) :=
+
+u0(x, y, z) - f (0, 0, z). The proof of this claim is similar to the one given near the
+
+20
+
+Y. CANZANI AND P. SARNAK
+
+vertices, so we omit it. The only relevant difference is that in order to bound u
+
+from below, one uses that u(x, y, z)  f (x, y, z) - u0(x, y, z) , and that
+
+u0(x, y, z) = O() in a ball of radius  centered at (0, 0, b) while f (0, 0, b) >
+
+1-
+
+1 100

+
+as that of case A. The first figure in the picture below shows the zero set of u0 along
+
+the edge while the second figure shows the zero set of  when f (0, 0, z) = cos(z).
+
+This shows that two consecutive cubes sharing an edge along which the perturbation changes sign will be glued on one half of the edge and disconnected along the other half.
+
+In case C, the zero set of u is diffeomorphic to that of (x, y, z) = u0(x, y, z) +
+
+f (0, 0, z) where f satisfies

+
+This shows that two cubes that are joining two consecutive structures will be glued though the midpoint while being disconnected at the vertices.
+
+4.4. Definition of the nodal domains. Given a tree T and  > 0 we continue to work with
+u = u0 + f,
+as defined in Definition 1. Fix v  T , and suppose it has N children. Assume without loss of generality that Cv  B+. For every j  {1, . . . , n} the perturbed function u takes the value  on Eext(C(v,j)), and Eext(C(v,j)) is connected. It follows that for each j  {1, . . . , N } there exists a positive nodal domain N(v,j) of u that contains Eext(C(v,j)). We define the set v = v() as
+
+N
+v := N(v,j).
+j=1
+
+(29)
+
+ZERO SET OF MONOCHROMATIC RANDOM WAVES
+
+21
+
+Throughout this section we use the description of the local behavior of u- 1(0) that we gave in Section 4.3. In the following lemma we prove that v is a nodal domain of u.
+Lemma 8. Let T be a tree and for each  > 0 let u be the perturbation defined in (1). Then, for each  > 0 and v  T , the set v = v() defined in (29) is a nodal domain of u.
+Proof. Let v  T and suppose v has N children. Assume without loss of generality that Cv  B-. By definition, v = Nj=1N(v,j) where N(v,j) is the nodal domain of u that contains Eext(C(v,j)). To prove that v is itself a nodal domain, we shall show that N(v,j) = N(v,j+1) for all j  {1, . . . , N - 1}.
+Fix j  {1, . . . , N - 1}. The structures E(C(v,j)) and E(C(v,j+1)) are joined through an edge ej in Ejoin(Cv). If we name the middle point of ej as mj, then by Rule C we have u(mj) = f (mj) < 0.
+The edge ej is shared by a cube cj  E(C(v,j)) and a cube cj+1  E(C(v,j+1)). Note that every cube in E(C(v,j)) has at least one vertex that belongs to an edge in Eext(C(v,j)) (same with E(C(v,j+1))). Let pj be a vertex of cj that belongs to an edge in Eext(C(v,j)). In the same way we choose qj to be a vertex in cj+1 that belongs to an edge in Eext(C(v,j+1)). In particular, by Rule A we have that u(pj) < 0 and u(qj) < 0.

+Since both cj and cj+1 are negative cubes, there exists a curve j  u- 1((-, 0)) that joins pj with qj while passing through the middle point mj.
+Finally, since pj  Eext(C(v,j))  N(v,j), qj  Eext(C(v,j+1))  N(v,j+1), and j is a connected subset of u- 1((-, 0)), we must have that N(v,j) = N(v,j+1) as claimed.
+In the following lemma we describe the set of cubes that end up building a nodal domain after the perturbation is performed.
+
+22
+
+Y. CANZANI AND P. SARNAK
+
+Lemma 9. Let T be a tree and for each  > 0 let u be the perturbation defined in (1). For each v  T with N children we have
+
+N
+
+lim v() =
+0
+
+E(C(v,j))\C(v,j).
+
+j=1
+
+Proof. First, we show that all the cubes in Nj=1E(C(v,j))\C(v,j) glue to form part of v after the perturbation is performed. Assume, without loss of generality, that Cv  B+. Then, C(v,j)  B- for every child (v, j) of v. All the cubes in Nj=1E(C(v,j))\C(v,j) have an edge in Eext(C(v,j)). Since such cubes are positive, and u takes the value  on
+Eext(C(v,j)), it follows that the cubes become part of the nodal domain that contains
+Eext(C(v,j)). That is, all the cubes in Nj=1E(C(v,j))\C(v,j) become part of v after the perturbation is added to u0.
+Second, we show that no cubes, other than those in Nj=1E(C(v,j))\C(v,j), will glue
+to form part of v. Indeed, any other positive cube in R3\ Nj=1 E(C(v,j)) that touches
+(Nj=1E(C(v,j))) does so through an edge in Eext(Cv). Since the function u takes the
+value - on Eext(Cv), those cubes will disconnect from Nj=1E(C(v,j)) after we perturb.
+On the other hand, any positive cube in Nj=1C(v,j)  B- is touching Nj=1E(C(v,j))
+through edges in Ni=j1Eext(C(v,j,i)) where Nj is the number of children of (v, j). Since f takes the value - on Ni=j1Eext(C(v,j,i)), the cubes in Nj=1C(v,j) will also disconnect from Nj=1E(C(v,j))\C(v,j).
+
+It is convenient to define the partial collections of nested domains. Given a tree T , a perturbation u, and v  T , we define the collection v = v() of all nodal domains that are descendants of v as follows. If v is a leaf then v = v. If v is not a leaf and has N children, we set
+N
+v := v  (v,j).
+j=1
+
+Remark 8. A direct consequence of Lemma 9 is the following. Let T be a tree and for each  > 0 let u be the perturbation defined in (1). For each v  T ,

+4.5. Proof of Theorem 2. We will use throughout this section that we know how the zero set behaves at a local scale (as described in Section 4.3). Let T be a tree and for each  > 0 let u be the perturbation defined in (1). We shall prove that there is a subset of the nodal domains of u that are nested as prescribed by T . Since for every v  T the set v is a nodal domain of u, the theorem would follow if we had that for all v  T

+Statements (i), (ii) and (iii) imply that R3\v has N + 1 components. One component is unbounded, and each of the other N components is filled by (v,j) for some j. We prove statements (i), (ii) and (iii) by induction. The statements are obvious for
+the leaves of the tree.
+
+Remark 9. The proof of Claim (iii) actually shows that v can be retracted to the arc
+
+connected set
+
+N j=1
+
+(v,j)
+
+
+
+N -1 j=1
+
+j
+
+where
+

+
+
+
+v
+
+is
+
+the
+
+curve
+
+introduced
+
+in
+
+Lemma
+
+8 connecting Eext(C(v,j)) with Eext(C(v,j+1)) that passes through the midpoint of the
+
+edge joining E(C(v,j)) with E(C(v,j+1)).
+
+Proof of Claim (i). Since v = v 
+
+N j=1
+
+(v,j),
+
+we
+
+shall
+
+show
+
+that
+
+there
+
+exists
+
+an
+
+open neighborhood U(v,j) of (v,j) so that U(v,j)  v.
+
+Assume without loss of generality that Cv  B+. Then, for every child (v, j), all
+
+the faces in C(v,j) belong to cubes in C(v,j) that are negative. Also, all the other
+
+negative cubes in R3\C(v,j) that touch C(v,j) do so through an edge in Eext(C(v,j)).
+
+Since the function u takes the value  on Eext(C(v,j)), all the negative cubes in C(v,j)
+
+are disconnected from those in R3\C(v,j) after the perturbation is performed. While
+
+all the negative cubes touching C(v,j) are disconnected, an open positive layer L(v,j)
+
+that surrounds (v,j) is created. The layer L(v,j) contains the grid Eext(C(v,j)) and so
+
+it is contained inside v. The result follows from setting U(v,j) := L(v,j)  (v,j).
+
+Proof of Claim (ii). This is a consequence of how we proved the statement (i) since both (v,j) and (v,k) are surrounded by a positive layer inside v.
+
+Proof of Claim (iii). Note that lim0 Nj=1(v,j)() = Nj=1C(v,j) and that by the
+induction assuption R3\ Nj=1 (v,j) has no bounded components . On the other hand,
+we also have that lim0 v() = Nj=1E(C(v,j))\C(v,j). This shows that, in order to prove that R3\v has no bounded components, we should show that the cubes in Nj=1E(C(v,j))\C(v,j) glue to those in Nj=1C(v,j) leaving no holes. Note that all the cubes in Nj=1E(C(v,j))\C(v,j) are attached to the mesh Nj=1Eext(C(v,j)) through some faces or vertices.
+Assume without loss of generality that Cv  B+. For each j  {1, . . . , N } the layer L(v,j) is contained in v and all the cubes in E(Cv)\Cv are glued to the layer thorugh an entire face or vertex. The topology of v will depend exclusively on how the cubes in E(C(v,j))\C(v,j) will join or disconnect each other along the edges that start at Eext(C(v,j)) and end at a distance 1 from Eext(C(v,j)). The function u takes the value  on Eext(C(v,j)). Also, note that if a pair of positive cubes in the unbounded component of R3\L(v,j) share an edge e that starts at Eext(C(v,j)) and ends at a distance 1 from it, then the end vertex belongs to Eext(Cv), and the function u takes the value - at
+this point. Since the function u has only one root on e, we have that no holes are
+added to v when applying the perturbation to those two cubes. For cubes in the

+
+ L(v,j)
+
+L(v,j)
+
+bounded component that share an edge one argues similarly and uses the value of u on iN=j1Eext(Cv,j,i) where Nj is the number of children of (v, j).
+To finish, we note that two consecutive structures E(C(v,j)) and E(C(v,j+1)) are joined through an edge separating two cubes as shown in Figure 3. The function u is negative (approximately equal to -) at the vertices of the edge, and is positive at
+the middle point (approximately equal to +). Since along the edge u was prescribed to have only two roots, no holes are introduced when joining the structures.
+
+4.6. Higher dimensions. The argument in higher dimensions is analogue to the one in dimension 3. We briefly discuss the modifications that need to be carried in this setting. Let
+u0(x1, . . . , xn) = sin(x1) . . . sin(xn).
+We will work with cubes in Rn that we identify with a point c  Zn. That is, the cube corresponding to c = (c1, . . . , cn)  Zn is given by c = {x  Rn : xk  [ck, ck + 1]}. As before, we say that a cube is positive (resp. negative) if u0 is positive (resp. negative) when restricted to it. The collection of faces of the cube c is 1in xi{ci,ci+1} {x  Rn : xk  [ck, ck + 1] k = i}. The collection of edges is
+
+1i,jn
+
+Hc(ai, aj)
+ai{ci,ci+1} aj {cj ,cj +1}
+
+where each edge is described as the set
+
+Hc(ai, aj) = {x  Rn : xi = ai, xj = aj, xk  [ck, ck + 1] k = i, j}.
+We note that if two cubes of the same sign are adjacent, then they are connected through an edge or a subset of it. In analogy with the R3 case, we define the collection B+ of all sets  that are built as a finite union of cubes with the following two properties:
+� Rn\ is connected. � If c is a cube in B+ with a face in B+, then c must be a positive cube.
+We define B- in the same way only that the cubes with faces in  should be negative cubes.
+
+Engulf operation. Let C  B+. We define E(C) to be the set obtained by adding to C all the negative cubes that touch C, even if they share only one point with C. By
+
+ZERO SET OF MONOCHROMATIC RANDOM WAVES
+
+25
+
+construction E(C)  B-. If C  B-, the set E(C) is defined in the same form only that one adds positive cubes to C. In this case E(C)  B+.
+
+Join operation. Given C  B+  B- we distinguish two vertices using the lexicographic order. For C  B+  B-, let C = C  Zn be the set of its vertices. We let v+(C) be the largest vertex in C and v-(C) be the smallest vertex in C. Given the vertex v+(C) we define the edge e+(C) to be the edge in C that contains the vertex v+(C) and is parallel to the hyperplane defined by the x1, . . . , xn-2 coordinates. The edge e-(C) is defined in the same way.
+Given C1  B+ and C2  B+ we define J (C1, C2)  B+ as follows. Let C~2 be the translated copy of C2 for which e+(C1) coincides with e-(C~2). We "join" C1 and C2 as J (C1, C2) = C1  C~2.
+In addition, for a single set C we define J(C) = C, and if there are multiple sets
+C1, . . . , Cn we define J (C1, . . . , Cn) = J (C1, J (C2, J (C3, . . . J (Cn-1, Cn)))).
+
+Definition of the rough nested domains. Given a tree T we associate to each node v  T a structure Cv  Rn defined as follows. If the node v  T is a leaf, then Cv is a cube of the adequate sign. For the rest of the nodes we set Cv = J E(C(v,1)), . . . , E(C(v,N)) , where N is the number of children of the node v. We continue to identify the original structures E(C(v,j)) with the translated ones E~(C(v,j)) that are used to build Cv. After this identification,
+N
+Cv = E(C(v,j)).
+j=1
+
+Building the perturbation. Let v  T be a node with N children. We define the sets of edges Eext(Cv), Eint(Cv) and Ejoin(Cv) in exactly the same way as we did in R3 (see Section 4.2). We proceed to define a perturbation h : K  R, where
+
+K = Eext(Cv)  Eint(Cv)  Ejoin(Cv).
+vT
+The function h is defined by the rules A, B and C below. Let  : [0, ]  [-1, 1] be a smooth increasing function satisfying
+
+(0) = -1, (1/2) = 0 and (t) = 1 for t  1.
+
+We also demand
+
+ (0) = 0 and  (1/2)  1.
+
+(30)
+
+A) Perturbation on Eext(Cv). Let v  T and assume Cv  B-. We define h on every edge of Eext(Cv) to be 1. If Cv  B+, we define h on every edge of Eext(Cv) to be -1.
+B) Perturbation on Eint(Cv). Let Hc(ai, aj) be an edge that touches both Eext(Cv) and Eext(C(v, )) for some of the child structures C(v, ) of Cv. Assume Cv  B-. Then we know that we must have h|Eext(Cv) = 1 and h|Eext(C(v, )) = -1. Let
+
+26
+
+Y. CANZANI AND P. SARNAK
+
+xi1, . . . , xik be the set of directions in Hc(ai, aj) that connect Eext(Cv) and Eext(C(v, )). We let
+h|Hc(ai,aj) : Hc(ai, aj )  [-1, 1]
+be defined as
+
+ h(x1, . . . , xn) =  
+
+
+k
+(xim - cim )2 .
+m=1
+
+With this definition, since whenever x  Eext(C(v, )) we have xim = cim for
+
+all m = 1, . . . , k, we get h(x) = (0) = -1. Also, whenever x  Eext(Cv)
+
+we have that there exists a coordinate xim for which xim = cim + 1. Then, m(xim - cim)2  1 and so h(x) = 1. Note that h vanishes on the sphere
+
+S = {x  Rn :
+
+k m=1

+
+and
+
+that
+
+h

+
+(30). If Cv  B+, simply multiply  by -1.
+
+C) Perturbation on Ejoin(Cv). Let v  T and assume Cv  B-. We set
+
+ h(x1, . . . , xn) =  2

+xik
+
+-
+
+2cik +1 2
+
+2,
+
+k=1
+
+where ik ranges over the indices {1, . . . , n}\{i, j}. With this definition, when-
+
+ever x is at the center of the edge Hc(ai, aj) we have h(x) = (0) = -1. Also,
+
+if x  Hc(ai, aj) we have
+
+xk
+
+-
+
+2ck +1 2
+
+2 = 1/4 for some k, and so h(x) = 1.
+
+Also note that h vanishes on a sphere of radius 1/4 centered at the midpoint
+
+of Hc(ai, aj) and that the gradient of h does not vanish on the sphere because of (30). If Cv  B+, simply multiply  by -1
+
+Remark 10. By construction the function h is smooth in the interior of each edge. Furthermore, since according to (30) we have  (0) = 0 and  (1) = 0, the gradient of h vanishes on the boundaries of the edges in K. Therefore, the function h can be extended to a function h  C1() where   Rn is an open neighborhood of K.
+
+Given a tree T , let h  C1() be defined following Rules A, B and C and Remark 10, where   Rn is an open neighborhood of K. Since K is compact and Rn\K is connected, Theorem 7 gives the existence of f : Rn  R that satisfies

+
+For  > 0 small set
+
+u := u0 + f.
+
+The definitions in Rules A, B and C are the analogues to those in dimension 3. For
+
+example, when working in dimension 3 on the edge e = {(0, 0, z) : z  [0, 1]}, we could
+
+have set
+
+h(0, 0, z) = (z)
+
+if e  Eint(Cv) with Cv  B-,
+
+ZERO SET OF MONOCHROMATIC RANDOM WAVES
+
+27
+
+and
+
+h(0, 0, z) = (2|z - 1/2|))
+
+if e  Ejoin(Cv) with Cv  B-.
+
+Note that all the edges in C are edges in K. Also, it is important to note that if two adjacent cubes have the same sign, then they share a subset of an edge in K.
+
+If two adjacent cubes are connected through a subset of Eext(Cv), then the cubes
+
+will be either glued or separated along that subset. This is because the function f is
+
+built to be strictly positive (approx. ) or strictly negative (approx. -) along the
+
+entire edge.
+
+If two adjacent cubes share an edge through which two structures are being joined,
+
+then they will be glued to each other near the midpoint of the edge. This is because
+
+f is built so that it has the same sign as the cubes in an open neighborhood of the
+
+midpoint of the joining edge.
+
+If two adjacent cubes in Cv of the same sign share a subset of an edge in Hc(ai, aj)  Eint(Cv), then with the same notation as in Rule B, there exists a subset of directions
+
+{xim1 , . . . xims }  {xi1 , . . . , xik } so that the set R = {x  Hc(ai, aj) : ximt 
+
+[cimt , cimt + 1] t = 1, . . . , s} is shared by the cubes. By construction, the cubes will be
+
+glued through the portion R1 of R that joins (cim1 , . . . , cims ) with the point (z1, . . . , zs)
+
+near the midpoint

+
+1 2
+
+, while being disconnected through the portion
+
+R2 of R that joins the point (z1, . . . , zs) with (cim1 + 1, . . . , cims + 1). This is because
+
+f is prescribed to have the same sign as the cubes along R1, while taking the opposite
+
+sign of the cubes along R2.
+
+Let Cv  B-, with Cv = Nj=1E(C(v, )). Running a similar argument to the one
+
+given in R3 one obtains that all the cubes in Eext(C(v, ))\C(v, ) will glue to form a
+
+negative nodal domain v of u. We sketch the argument in what follows. All the
+
+negative cubes in Rn\Cv that touch Cv do so through an edge in Eext(Cv) since they
+
+will be at distance 1 from the children structures {C(v, )} . Since the perturbation f
+takes a strictly positive value (approx. +) along any edge in Eext(Cv), the negative cubes in Rn\Cv will be separated from those in in Cv. Simultaneously, for each ,
+
+all the cubes in E(C(v, ))\C(v, ) are glued to each other since they are negative cubes that touch Eext(C(v, )) and Eext(C(v, )) is a connected set on which the perturbation f takes a strictly negative value (approx. -). This gives that Eext(C(v, )) belongs to a negative nodal domain of u, and that the negative cubes in E(C(v, ))\C(v, ) are glued to the nodal domain after the perturbation is performed. Furthermore,
+
+two consecutive structures E(C(v, )) and E(C(v, +1)) are joined through an edge in Eint(Cv). This edge, which joins a negative cube in E(C(v, )) and a negative cube in E(C(v, +1)) has its boundary inside Eext(C(v, )). Since f is strictly positive (approx.
+
++) on Eext(C(v, )), we know that the parts of the two cubes that are close to the boundary will be disconnected. However, since the perturbation was built so that f
+
+is strictly negative (approx. -) at the midpoint of the edge, both negative cubes
+
+are glued to each other. In fact, one can build a curve  contained inside the nodal
+
+domain that joins Eext(C(v, )) with Eext(C(v, +1)). It then follows that all the cubes in
+
+Nj=1E(C(v, ))\C(v, ) are glued to each other after the perturbation is performed and they will form the nodal domain v of u containing n=1Eext(C(v, )). One can carry
+
+28
+
+Y. CANZANI AND P. SARNAK
+
+the same stability arguments we presented in Section 4.3 to obtain that at a local
+
+level there are no unexpected new nodal domains. For this to hold, as in the R3 case,
+
+the argument hinges on the fact that in the places where both u0 and f vanish, the
+
+gradient of f is not zero (as explained at the end of each Rule). Finally, Rule B is
+
+there to ensure that the topology of each nodal domain is controlled in the sense that
+
+when the cubes in Eext(C(v, ))\C(v, ) glue to each other they do so without creating unexpected handles. Indeed, the cubes in Eext(C(v, ))\C(v, ) can be retracted to the set
+
+N =1
+
+(v,
+
+)
+
+
+
+N -1 =1
+
+
+
+where (v, ) := v,
+
+
+
+N =1
+
+(v,
+
+,j)
+
+and
+
+{(v,
+
+, j) :
+
+j = 1, . . . , N }
+
+are the children of (v, ).
+
+The argument we just sketched also shows that the nodal domains v with v  T
+
+are nested as prescribed by the tree T . Indeed, claims (i), (ii) and (iii) in the proof of
+
+Theorem 2 are proved in Rn in exactly the same way we carried the argument in R3.

+Magnetism, transport and thermodynamics in two-dimensional half-filled Hubbard superlattices
+Rubem Mondaini1 and Thereza Paiva2 1Beijing Computational Science Research Center, Beijing 100193, China 2Instituto de F�isica, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro Cx.P. 68.528, 21941-972 Rio de Janeiro RJ, Brazil
+We study magnetic, transport and thermodynamic properties of the half-filled two-dimensional (2D) Hubbard model with layered distributed repulsive interactions using unbiased finite temperature quantum Monte Carlo simulations. Antiferromagnetic long-ranged correlations at T = 0 are confirmed by means of the magnetic structure factor and the onset of short-ranged ones is at a minimum temperature, which can be obtained by peaks in susceptibility and specific heat following a random-phase-approximation (RPA) prediction. We also show that transport is affected in the large interaction limit and is enhanced in the non-repulsive layers suggesting a change of dimensionality induced by increased interactions. Lastly, we show that by adiabatically switching the interactions in layered distributed patterns reduces the overall temperature of the system with a potential application in cooling protocols in cold atoms systems.

+I. INTRODUCTION
+Recent improvements on deposition techniques has enabled the growth of atomically precise layer sequences of different materials [1]. Among the recently synthesized structures, the transition metal oxide superlattices (SL's), for example, play a key role, as they offer the potential for future use in devices [2]. LaAlO3-SrTiO3 superlattices, for instance, have been used to fabricate diodes with with room-temperature breakdown voltages of up to 200 V [3], as well as field-effect devices [4�6]. Most of the compounds used in these superlattices are characterized by the presence of strong electronic correlations, that give rise to complex collective quantum phases. Among the correlation-driven phenomena occurring in these materials one can highlight the interface superconductivity [7], magnetism between non-magnetic interfaces [8], coexistence of magnetic order and twodimensional superconductivity at LaAlO3/SrTiO3 interfaces [9], and others. These phenomena have led to the intense study of the interface between oxides in superlattice structures [2, 10].
+Another interesting point of view is the study of the change of magnetic and transport properties as the width of one or both of the layers on a superlattice is altered. Superlattices made of paramagnetic correlated metal LaNiO3 and wide-gap insulator LaAlO3, grown by pulsed laser deposition, show collective metal-insulator transitions and antiferromagnetic transitions as a function of temperature when the lanthanum nickelate is as thin as two unit cells. Conversely, samples with thicker LaAlO3 layers remain metallic and paramagnetic at all temperatures [11]. It is also possible to tune the magnetic character from antiferrogmagnetic to ferromagnetic of a thin film of LaAlO3 grown on top of SrTiO3 when the thickness of the the lanthanum alluminate has six or more unit-cells [12]. Superlattices with heavy fermion compounds also show interesting behavior with decreas-
+
+ing layer thickness: epitaxially grown superlattices of antiferromagnetic CeIn3 and metallic LaIn3 [13] show a linear decrease of the N�eel temperature when the width of the CeIn3 layer is reduced, vanishing when it is two atoms thick.
+In the context of cold atoms, which presents a framework to investigate many-body phenomena in a highly tunable fashion [14, 15], although spatially varying interactions have not yet been realized in optical lattices, they have recently become available in trapped ultracold gases. The ability to control a magnetic Feshbach resonance with laser light [16], has increased the tunability of interactions for bosonic systems. Submicrometer spatial modulation of the interaction was already achieved in a 174Yb Bose-Einstein condensate [17] and new optical controls of Feshbach resonances for fermionic ultracold gases [18�20] have also been proposed. Only recently [21], however, it was possible to overcome two major difficulties that plagues the experiments using optical Feshbach resonances: heating from off-resonant light scattering that leads to a rapid decay of the quantum gas and an unwanted shift of the energy levels that leads to the deformation of the trap potential, recently demonstrated by trapping a Bose-Einstein condensate of Cs atoms subjected to a position dependent modulation of the inter-atomic interactions.
+Overall, either in condensed matter or in atomic physics realms, these experiments illustrate that the properties of otherwise homogeneous systems can be drastically altered when they are cast into ultra-thin layers forming a superlattice. A simple model that incorporates both fermionic correlations and superlattices structure can help to elucidate some of the issues in these fields and potentially indicate new routes of experimental investigation. Here we study a twodimensional model where one-dimensional strongly correlated strips of width LU are intercalated by noninteracting strips of width L0, forming 2D superlattices. The two-dimensional "bulk" non-interacting system cor-
+
+2
+
+responds to a paramagnetic metal; conversely, at halffilling, the two-dimensional interacting system has an antiferromagnetic, Mott-insulator ground-state. The questions that we wish to address here are the following. (i) What are the magnetic and transport properties of these superlattices? (ii) How do they depend on layer thicknesses? (iii) Is the magnetic order preserved in the presence of non-interacting sites? (iv) How are the temperature scales affected by the superlattice structure? (v) Can we devise new cooling protocols in optical lattices by adiabatically changing the spatially modulated interactions?
+The paper is organized as follows: Section II describes the model and method used to perform the simulations. Section III describes magnetism whereas Sec. IV investigates the resulting transport in these superlattice structures. Section V is dedicated to the thermodynamical properties where the signatures of charge and spin fluctuations are analyzed in specific heat, spin susceptibility and entropy data; Sec. VI summarizes our findings.

The interaction term is written in particle-hole symmetric form. Thus, tuning � = 0 drives the electronic occupation to one in all sites for any combination of the Hamiltonian parameters t, Ui and temperatures T [22]. We have restricted our study to half-filled systems ( = 1.0). To simulate the layered systems we construct a pattern of repulsive and non-interacting layers where U > 0 and U = 0, respectively. We define the width of the repulsive layer as LU and the width of the non-interacting one as L0 as depicted in Fig. 1 for the LU = 2 L0 = 1 case, in a 12 � 12 lattice. Note that not all patterns are commensurate with the available lattice sizes we can numerically investigate (we have considered lattices up to 18 � 18), therefore, a finite size scaling analysis is in some cases elusive. We set t as our energy scale.

+Hamiltonian was studied with different numerical approaches, such as the Lanczos method [23�25], density matrix renormalization group [26], within the HartreeFock approximation [27], and within the Luttinger liquid framework [28]. The effect of an on-site energy in one of the sublattices was also considered [29, 30] and was shown to strongly alter the ground state properties.
+Going beyond one-dimensional systems, other studies have focused on the interface properties of metallic and interacting regions at finite temperatures. These studies often focus on the penetration of the magnetism in the metallic regions and induced metallic behavior on the insulating side in two- [31] and three dimensions [32, 33], where hybridization effects are explored by tuning the hopping at the interfaces in order to explore the interplay of magnetism and Kondo screening. Here, on the other hand, we aim to provide an in-depth study for the case of many interfaces forming a superlattice. Other studies [34] were primarily attained to the interface effects of metallic and insulating thin films with a potential realization of correlated transistors. We focus as well in the induced magnetism in metallic regions, the anisotropic transport due to the layered structure, finite temperature scales for spin and moment formation and, lastly, in cooling mechanisms that could be potentially employed in cold atoms experiments in optical lattices.
+We use finite temperature determinantal quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) simulations to unbiasedly probe magnetic, transport and thermodynamic properties of the half-filled two-dimensional superlattices. In this method, the partition function is expressed as a path integral by using the Suzuki-Trotter decomposition of exp(-H), introducing the imaginary-time interval  . The interaction term is decoupled through a discrete Hubbard-Stratonovich transformation [35, 36], which introduces an auxiliary Ising field. This allows one to eliminate the fermionic degrees of freedom, and the summation over the auxiliary field (which depends both on the site and the imaginary time) is carried out stochastically. Initially this field is generated randomly, and a local flip is attempted, with the acceptance rate given by the Metropolis algorithm. The process of traversing
+
+3
+the entire space-time lattice trying to change the auxiliary field variable constitutes one QMC sweep. The errors associated with the Suzuki-Trotter decomposition in the QMC method are proportional to O ( )2U , so we have set  = 0.125/t to  = 0.05/t depending on the value of the interaction strength U , to guarantee small enough systematic errors.

+
+III. MAGNETISM
+
+A. Short-ranged correlations
+
+The longstanding question of induced magnetism in
+
+metallic non-ordered regions due to the proximity to a
+
+magnetically ordered insulator can be initially tackled
+
+in a superlattice construction by investigating how the
+
+short-ranged correlations are modified by the layered pat-
+
+tern. Pushing the limits of short ranged to local (i.e.,
+
+in the same site) we first investigate the local moment,
+defined as (m^ zi )2  (n^i - n^i)2 . Beyond its purely theoretical relevance, we stress that in the situation that
+
+the proposed Hamiltonian [Eq. (1)] could be emulated in
+
+optical lattices experiments, this is precisely the quan-
+
+tity that was recently measured to probe local spin or-
+
+der in a study of the two-dimensional Fermi-Hubbard
+
+model using trapped cold atoms [38]. From the theo-
+
+retical point of view it is important to understand the
+
+local magnetic properties when approaching the ground
+
+state at T = 0. However, with the connection to exper-
+
+iments in cold atoms in mind, again, here we will focus
+
+in ranges of temperatures that, although lower than the
+
+ones achieved in current experiments, could be poten-
+
+tially used as a guidance for future experiments.
+
+As we have discussed in the previous section, the sym-
+
+metric form of the Hamiltonian requires that at half-
+
+filling the charge distribution is homogeneous through-
+
+out the lattice. The local moment profile, on the other
+
+hand, is not homogeneous and strongly depends on the
+
+superlattice pattern, as can be clearly observed in Fig. 2,
+
+following closely the same periodicity of the superlatice
+
+structure[39]. Double occupations are less likely on repul-
+
+sive sites than on non-interacting ones, therefore the local
+
+moment is larger on the interacting sites. In the homoge-
+
+neous Hubbard model the local moment increases mono-
+
+tonically with the interaction strength [40]. At half-filling
+for U = 0, it takes the uncorrelated value (m^ zi )2 = 1/2, while as U increases the double and empty occupancies
+
+decrease, until for U   they are completely sup-
+
+pressed leading to (m^ zi )2 = 1, which corresponds to
+
+the
+
+spin-
+
+1 2
+
+Heisenberg
+
+limit.
+
+The U -dependence of the local moment for the layered
+
+system at T /t = 0.10 is shown in Fig. 3. The plot displays
+
+the average local moment within repulsive [Fig. 3(a)] and
+free [Fig. 3(b)] sites. In the former, (m^ zi )2 U increases monotonically with U , and approaches the values for the
+
+homogeneous system as LU increases. On the other hand,
+

Filled and empty symbols denote repulsive and free (U = 0) sites, respectively. the local moment in the non-interacting sites is affected by the strength of the interaction on the neighboring repulsive ones and displays a non-monotonic behavior with U . Starting from U = 0, when we increase U , the effect of the interactions "leaks" into the non-interacting sites, resulting in an increase of the local moment even though in these sites the interaction is turned off. Note, though, the difference in scale from Fig. 3(a): The induced moment

Empty symbols represent sites at the edge of the free layers whereas crossed symbols represent sites at the central line of the free layer: see cartoon in (b) with the example for the SL configuration LU = 1 L0 = 3.
+localization in free sites is almost seven times smaller than the moment acquired in repulsive sites for U/t  8. However, Fig. 3(b) clearly shows that an increase in the ratio LU/L0 increases (m^ zi )2 0 for finite values of U/t. It is interesting to note that for different superlattices with the same ratio LU/L0, such as LU = 1 L0 = 1, and LU = 2 L0 = 2, the thinner non-interacting layer in the former favors the "leakage" of local moment. Ultimately, when U  , fermions on repulsive layers become completely localized [see Fig. 3(a)], hopping between the free and repulsive sites is suppressed (see Sec. IV), pushing the local moment back to its non-interacting value on the free sites [Fig. 3(b)].
+To better understand the enhancement of moment localization in non-interacting sites, we probe the effects of the vicinity of a correlated layer, by considering separately the different lines that compose the noninteracting layer. Figure 4(a) shows the local moment in sites at the edges of the free layer (i.e., in the noninteracting line neighboring a repulsive layer; open symbols) and along the central line of the layer (crossed symbols) � see schematics in Fig. 4(b) for LU = 1 and L0 = 3. When L0 = 1 or L0 = 2, edge and center lines coincide. Additionally, when L0 > 2, one can clearly see that the central line of the free layer is barely affected by the repulsive layers as (m^ zi )2 0 remains very close to the noninteracting value (0.5). The increase in (m^ zi )2 0 is larger for superlattices with L0 = 1; in these cases, each free line has two neighboring repulsive lines. The effect of the repulsive layers goes beyond nearest neighbors, as for fixed L0 = 1, the local moment is larger for the superlatice with LU = 3 than for the one with LU = 1.
+We now turn to spin-spin correlation functions defined as c(i - j)  m^ zi m^ zj . Recently, single atom imaging for fermionic atoms trapped on optical lattices has been achieved in experiments with 6Li [41, 42] and 40K atoms [43�45] enabling the measurement of spin-spin correlation functions in cold atom experiments [38, 46, 47].
+
+Thus, we show in Fig. 5 the NN spin-spin correlation functions as a function of U/t for different superlattices at T /t = 0.10. The negative values in all cases considered show the antiferromagnetic arrangement. Similarly to what is seen for the local moment, nearest-neighbor (NN) spin correlations along repulsive sites [Fig. 5(a)] approach the values for homogeneous systems as LU/L0 increases. Note that for L0 > 1, increasing the width of the free layers has very little effect on the magnetic correlations along the repulsive sites. On the other hand, a "leakage" of magnetic correlations from the repulsive sites is present along free layers. This "leakage" is strongly dependent on the neighboring sites. NN-spin-spin correlations along the central line of the free layer (crossed symbols) and also for the line at the edge of the free layer (open symbols), are shown in Fig. 5(b). For wide (L0 = 5) free layers, NN-spin-spin correlations along the central line of a non-interacting layer [crossed pentagons, Fig. 5(b)] remain close to the non-interacting value. On the contrary, correlations along the edges of the free layer [open pentagons, and open circles, Fig. 5(b)] increase in modulus with U/t and follow closely those for LU = 1 and L0 = 2 (open triangles). From this, one could think of a mechanism where at the "interface" between the layers a hybridization of the orbitals of each site induces a singlet formation as a result of the strongly localized moment in the repulsive layer. It has been argued that this would occur in similar systems [31] where shielding would prevent the correlations to spread inside the free layer.
+However, there is no need to speculate. One can directly investigate the coupling of the adjacent spins in repulsive and free layers by probing the NN-spin-spin correlations along the y-direction, i.e., taken perpendicular to the direction of the layers. This is shown in Fig. 5(c). Its dependence with the interaction U is reminiscent to the effect of the local moment in free sites: For small values of U , the adjacent spins in repulsive and free layers display AF correlations that increase with increasing U , reaching its maximum values for different SL's configurations for U/t  8. Larger interaction strengths reduce the magnitude of this coupling, due to the decrease in the local moment within the free sites as shown in Figs. 3(b) and 4(a). For U/t  16, the NN spin correlations are comparable to the non-interacting case, denoting that the layers become uncorrelated. Hence we can rule out the shielding mechanism since even the local moments at the interface from the free layer side become less localized and the overall correlation with the repulsive layer is diminished for large U .
+Lastly, we want to understand how robust is this maximum spreading of the correlations that happens for U/t  8 from variations of the temperature. Figure 6 displays the local moments and NN spin-spin correlation functions either inside a repulsive layer [panels (a) and (b)] or inside a free one [panels (c) and (d)], as a function of temperature. For large temperatures, all the quantities reduce to its uncorrelated value, i.e., the local moment

Correlations are calculated along (a) repulsive (filled symbols) and (b) free (empty symbols) layers, and (c) perpendicular to the layers, between a free and a repulsive site (half-filled symbols). Stars represent the corresponding homogeneous system. The dashed line represent the Heisenberg model nearest-neighbor spin-spin correlations QMC result [48].
+is (m^ zi )2 = 0.5 and the nearest neighbor correlation is vanishing. Note that the temperature used in the previous analysis (T /t = 0.1) is already low enough to capture physics close to the ground state since most of the quantities are on the verge of saturation or already saturated. Hence we expect that in the limit T  0, the decrease in moment localization for large values of interaction in sites within the free layer will be robust. Figure 6(e) also shows the NN spin-spin correlation function for sites at the interface between repulsive and free layers, where one can see that this coupling is larger, at low T , when the width of the free layer is small.
+B. Long-range ordering
+From a theoretical point of view, it is an open question whether selecting the interactions in a layered pat-

(Color online) (a) and (b) [(c) and (d)] display the local moment and NN spin-spin correlation function inside the repulsive [free] layer as a function of the temperature for three different SL structures. (e) also provides the temperature dependence but for the NN spin-spin correlation function where one site is at the repulsive layer and the other at the free one, computing, essentially, the coupling between the two types of layers.
+
+tern still renders a global long-range magnetic order for the ground-state. The two-dimensional half-filled homogeneous HM on the square lattice is known to display long-range AF order for any non-zero value of the local interaction energy U at T = 0 [40]. Given that for the SLs this repulsive energy is not regularly distributed throughout the lattice, it is not obvious which magnetic arrangement minimizes the total energy when approaching this limit. In order to probe it, we calculate the magnetic structure factor

+(2)
+
+i,j
+
+where q denotes the wave vector. Here, we make the choice of neglecting the periodicity of the SL and use as the wave vector the one associated with the homogeneous lattice. This will help to infer whether the long-range AF order is globally obtained regardless of the underlying superlattice structure. The peaks in this quantity are related with the dominant spin ordering. For all the studied SL's, we observe a peak at q=(, ) related with AF ordering in both principal lattice directions, as shown in Fig. 7. This peak becomes more pronounced as the

+
+number of repulsive sites is increased in relation to the number of free ones and one would be led to identify it with the increased average value of interaction strength. To characterize this picture, we can define an effective repulsive interaction,

+
+and choose different SL's configurations, then setting a specific value of U in order to keep the average repulsive interaction constant. Indeed, if magnetic properties were only ruled by Ueff , different SL's would display the same S(, ) as long as Ueff is kept fixed. However, this is not observed [Fig. 8(a)] and the widths of the layers strongly affect spin correlations. Not only the absolute values of the AF spin correlations are different when approaching the ground state, but also the temperature in which spin correlations reach their asymptotic value, which occurs when the typical size of spin correlations  becomes larger than linear lattice size L.
+The presence of long ranged AF ordering in the thermodynamic limit is determined by a proper finite-size scaling analysis of the q = (, ) structure factor. Spinwave theory [49], predicts that the finite-size corrections to S(, ) are linear in 1/L:

+mAF for the superlattices with recent QMC data for the homogeneous lattice [50]. The order parameter for different SL's is always smaller than for the homogeneous system, but for Ueff /t 7, it follows the same trend, i. e., it increases with increasing interaction strength. Moreover, the comparison among the different SL's configurations shows that this ordering depends non-trivially on the chosen pattern. Superlattices with the same LU/L0 ratio, such as LU = 1, L0 = 1 and LU = 2, L0 = 2,
+
+7
+
+do not always have the same value of mAF when Ueff is kept fixed. Thus, an effective interaction mechanism is not sufficient to explain the observed long-range magnetic order. For larger Ueff , the order parameter does not saturate at the Heisenberg limit value (dashed line), as one would naively expect, and instead decreases. For large values of U/t, the free and repulsive layers decouple, as signaled by the reduced value of near-neighbor spin-spin correlations shown in Fig. 5(c). In the U   limit, the SL's become a set of uncoupled free and repulsive chains that are unable to sustain long range order in two-dimensions.
+IV. TRANSPORT PROPERTIES
+
+FIG. 10. (Color online) Temperature dependence of the ratio of kinetic energies of superlattices to the non-interacting result. The lattice size is 12 � 12 and the interactions in the repulsive sites is U/t = 8.
+
+Better insight on the interplay of localization and delocalization in repulsive and free layers, initially obtained by investigating the spin correlations in the previous section, can be gained by checking some of the transport properties of the system. We start our study of the transport by analyzing the total effective hopping [52],
+
+tSL =
+
+i,j ,(c^ic^j + c^jc^i) SL ,
+
+(5)
+
+t
+
+i,j ,(c^ic^j + c^jc^i) 0
+
+which we define as the ratio of the kinetic energy on a superlattice, averaged over both the directions, along and across the layers, to its non-interacting counterpart value. We start by checking the temperature dependence of this quantity in Fig. 10 for different SL structures at U/t = 8. In the high-temperature limit (T t), the effect of interactions (either layered or homogeneously distributed) is negligible and the kinetic energy is essentially equivalent to the kinetic energy of the non-interacting system (tSL/t  1). For decreasing temperatures, the actual pattern of interactions affects the overall charge mobility and the correspondent kinetic energy for interacting SL's drops to a fraction of the non-interacting value which is inversely proportional to LU/L0. In the following, we will focus on values of temperature T /t = 0.1, which is small enough to capture the physical aspects when approaching the ground state for the different superlattices structures, since the kinetic energy is either converged or in the verge of convergence for decreasing temperatures, but not so small to render unnecessarily complicated large simulations. It is important to notice that quantum fluctuations are responsible for the fact that the kinetic energy is still finite when approaching the zero temperature limit.
+Figure 11(a) shows the U -dependence of tSL/t for different superlattices and also for the homogeneous system for 12 � 12 lattices at T /t = 0.1. In all cases, increasing U induces charge localization in at least the repulsive layers and, therefore, decreases the total hopping energy in comparison to the non-interacting limit. We can see that tSL/t is strongly dependent on the ratio LU/L0, converging towards the non-interacting limit (teff /t = 1) as

+
+LU/L0  0 (see, for instance, black squares for LU = 1 and L0 = 11) and approaching the homogeneous system results as LU/L0 increases (see right triangles for LU = 11 and L0 = 1).
+The large anisotropic character introduced by the layered construction makes it important to analyze the effective hopping along (x) and across (y) the direction of the layers, which we define as:
+
+tSL = t

+
+SL 0
+

+
+(6)
+
+where ^ = x^ or y^.
+
+8
+
+At first sight, one would expect that the anisotropy favors the electronic transport along the direction of the layers. This is indeed the case, as can be readily observed in Figs. 11(b) and 11(c), where the repulsive interaction splits the two contributions of the effective hopping. In fact, the largest contribution to the transport in the direction parallel to the layers should be related to stripes formed by free sites since within the repulsive layers local moment formation is favored [see Fig. 3(a)] and, consequently, the mobility is reduced. We separate the contribution of the kinetic energy along the layers between the repulsive and free layers via,

+

+
+(7)
+
+where the denominator refers to the average kinetic energy along one direction of a two-dimensional noninteracting square lattice. Figure 12 shows how the separate contribution of the hopping depends on the strength of interactions in free [panel (a)] and repulsive layers [panel (b)]. One observes, in the latter, that the transport along repulsive sites does not significantly change for different SL configurations, remaining close to the correspondent homogeneous results and smoothly interpolating the limits of small interactions, obtained within perturbation theory (dashed curve), and the strong coupling limit [52] (dotted line). On the other hand, in the former, as U/t is increased, the contribution to the kinetic energy due to the hopping between free sites is always larger than one, i.e., enhanced in comparison to the contribution to the kinetic along one direction in a completely non-interacting two-dimensional lattice. In this case, when comparing different SL's patterns we can see that the enhancement is maximum when the free layer is just one-site thick (L0 = 1) and increases with increasing LU/L0. This feature is an indicative of the change of dimensionality, as a result of increased interactions, being related to the picture where free layers become uncoupled to the repulsive ones as the large U/t limit is approached, which was also inferred when investigating the magnetism in Sec. III. This scenario is supported by noting that the the kinetic energy along the free layers of the SL systematically converges to the kinetic energy of a one-dimensional non-interacting chain (dashed-dotted line in Figure 12(a)) for U/t 1.
+One can also get useful physical information by investigating wider free layers as in the SL with configurations LU = 1 and L0 = 3 or 5 [circles and pentagons, respectively, in Fig. 12(a)]. When analyzing the contribution of the hopping in the free layers, we see that, the wider the free layer is, the less its center is affected by the repulsive sites. Still, for the free sites at the edge between the two regions, the enhancement of kinetic energy along the x direction is substantial, reaching  25% of increase for U/t = 16.
+It is still an open question to examine other quantities that could potentially fully characterize transport, and

To avoid misleading interpretation due to the different number of repulsive (NU) and free (NU=0) sites, in this case we have normalized the results by the number of sites of each type. In (b) we also include the analytical results in the extreme limits of U/t 1 (perturbation theory) and U/t 1 (strong coupling) [52] and the contribution to the kinetic energy between repulsive sites smoothly interpolates between both limits albeit the layered distributed interactions.
+definitively quantify whether the superlattice displays a metal-insulator transition when approaching T = 0 at large U/t limit. Among them one could highlight the dc-conductivity [53, 54] and the Drude weight [55, 56] both of which can be computed using imaginary timedependent correlation functions in QMC calculations. However, while the kinetic energy per site does not change substantially when using different system sizes, we have checked that the Drude weight and the dcconductivity possess dramatic finite size effects. Besides, as we argued before, the fact that some of the superlattices are not commensurate with the system size makes a proper finite-size scaling analysis elusive. Future studies may shed light on this issue and unequivocally answer the question of whether the increase of repulsive interactions may induce a Mott-insulator to anisotropic metal transition in the large U limit.
+V. TEMPERATURE SCALES
+We now turn to the study of the temperature scales that characterize the superlattices. The Mermin-Wagner theorem [57] establishes that long range order is only possible at T = 0 for two-dimensional systems with continuous symmetry. Nonetheless, one can define finite temperature scales where strong magnetic and charge correlations start to develop. The knowledge of such temper-

+ature scales is relevant in the context of fermionic cold atom experiments as spin and charge correlations in twodimensional systems were recently measured. [38, 47]
+A. Spin susceptibility
+A crossover temperature Tspin, below which spin correlations grow rapidly, can be obtained by the temperature where the uniform magnetic susceptibility (q = 0, T ) = S(q = 0) peaks [58]. Figure 13 shows the susceptibility as a function of T for different superlattices at U/t = 4. For the SL's with LU/L0 < 1 the crossover temperature is below T = t/20, the smaller temperature reached in most of our simulations and far beyond what can be reached under cold atoms experiments. The finite lattices are AF ordered at non-zero temperatures and we can associate Tspin with the finite N�eel temperature for 2D lattices calculated within the random phase approximation (RPA) and Hartree-Fock calculations: TN  t exp[-2 t/U ] [40]. Figure 15 compiles the positions of the peaks, Tspin (empty symbols), as a function of Ueff for different superlattice patterns, different system sizes and U/t = 4, together with the RPA form. It clearly shows that the crossover temperature is governed by the effective interaction strength, essentially being independent of the underlying superlattice structure.
+B. Specific heat
+Another quantity that can provide insight into the temperature scales of the system is the specific heat C. We use the definition C(T ) = dE/dT to obtain the specific heat by numerical differentiation of the total en-

+FIG. 14. (Color online) Temperature dependence of specific heat for four different SL configurations with L = 12 and the corresponding homogeneous cases with U/t = 0 and U/t = 4. While the high-temperature peak position is roughly constant at Thigh  t, the low-temperature one significantly varies for the SL's presented and displays increasing Tlow as the Ueff becomes higher and closer to the homogeneous U/t = 4 case. Lines are guides to the eye.
+ergy E(T ). Figure 14 shows C(T ) for different SL's with L = 12 at U/t = 4 and also the results for the homogeneous case in the non-interacting (dashed line) and interacting limits. In the latter, the specific heat is known to display a two peak structure [59, 60]: a broad high-temperature peak at Thigh, associated with "charge fluctuations," and a sharp peak at Tlow associated with "spinfluctuations." These denote temperature below which these degrees of freedom start to freeze. Note that, for fixed U , while the high-T peak position is very similar for all superlattices, Tlow strongly depends on the superlattice pattern, shifting to lower temperatures as the ratio LU/L0 is reduced. We were not able to resolve the peak when Tlow < t/20, which is the case when LU/L0 < 1. For the other cases, Fig. 15 shows the dependence of Tlow (filled symbols) with Ueff , for different system sizes and different superlattice patterns with U/t = 4. Similar to Tspin, Tlow also defines a temperature scale where AF correlations become relevant, therefore, Tlow obeys the same RPA-like form for small values of Ueff .
+To better understand the position of the peaks and its dependence with the interaction strength, it is instructive to recall that the energy can be separated in kinetic and potential parts which separately contribute to the specific heat. In a strong coupling picture, the high-T peak can be understood as the temperature where double occupations ( d^ ) are suppressed and, therefore, is governed by the contribution of the potential energy P = U d^ to the specific heat. In this regime, Thigh has a linear dependence with Ueff as Thigh  Ueff /4.1, as can be seen in Fig. 16. In contrast, for weak interactions, the high-T peak is determined by the kinetic energy contribution to the specific heat [59]. Figure 14 clearly shows that Thigh

+Although in the previous section we observed that an effective interaction cannot explain the discrepancies in spin-spin correlation functions or the ground state values of the order parameter for different SL's, the temperature scales presented in this section are clearly ruled by Ueff .
+
+The entropy is a central quantity for cold atoms, as it can be obtained more easily on experiments than the temperature. Understanding the behavior of the entropy as a function of the temperature for different interaction strengths and SL's configurations can help in devising new cooling schemes, which are useful if one is concerned with the emulation of the low-temperature physics of strongly correlated systems. Here, we obtain the entropy per particle in units of the Boltzmann constant kB, by integrating the energy per particle e  E/N in inverse temperature :

+Figure 17(a) shows this quantity as a function of the temperature for the SL with LU = 1 and L0 = 3 and different values of the interaction strength U/t. For a fixed entropy value (see dotted and dashed horizontal lines), increasing U/t, which can be tuned by adjusting Feshbach resonances [14], will lead to heating of the system, i.e., the temperature increases with increasing repulsive interactions. Figure 17(b), on the other hand, displays the temperature dependence of S/(N kB) for fixed U/t = 8 and different SL configurations, as well as for the homogeneous system with the same interaction value. If we start with an SL with LU = 1 and L0 = 7 (diamonds), and adiabatically turn the interaction on within lines of sites on the free layers, changing the pattern to a different SL configuration with LU = 1 and L0 = 3 (circles), and then LU = 1 and L0 = 1 (down triangles), and finally reaching the homogeneous system (stars), there is a range of entropies 0.2 S/N kB 1.0 for which the temperature is reduced.

+
+the latter to cooling (in an intermediate range of tem-
+
+peratures) let us examine separately the contributions
+
+of the kinetic (K) [Figs. 18(a) and 18(c)] and poten-
+
+tial (P ) [Figs. 18(b) and 18(d)] energies to the entropy.
+
+It is useful to remember that S =
+
+T 0
+
+dT
+
+C/T
+
+,
+
+where
+
+C = dE/dT is the specific heat and E = K + P . For
+
+fixed LU = 1, L0 = 3, and small U/t, the system is similar to the non-interacting one, with most of the en-
+
+tropy coming from the kinetic energy contribution. In
+
+the opposite limit (large U/t), the contribution from the
+
+kinetic energy moves to higher temperatures and the one
+
+associated with the potential energy becomes more rele-
+
+vant. The potential energy contribution comes from the
+
+double occupancies d^ on repulsive sites. The double
+
+occupancies are directly related to the local moments via
+
+d^ = [ (n^i + n^i) - (m^ zi )2 ]/2. Starting at high temperatures, where it assumes its uncorrelated value d^ = 1/4
+
+for all U/t, as T /t decreases, d^ also decreases. For small
+
+U/t, d^ hardly changes with T /t and the contribution of
+
+dP/dT is small. For large U/t, on the other hand, the
+
+change in d^ gives rise to the high-T peak in dP/dT (and
+
+also in C, see Figs. 14 and 16). The freezing of the charge
+
+degrees of freedom as U/t increases at the repulsive sites
+
+leads to heating, observed in Fig. 17(a).
+
+For fixed U/t and increasing LU/L0, the behavior is similar to the previous one at smaller Ueff /t: most of the contribution to the entropy comes from the kinetic energy at temperature scales around T /t  1. As LU/L0 increases, two effects take place, first a high-T peak also develops in the contribution from the potential energy, similar to what is seen in the previous case, and, second, the peak in the kinetic energy derivative becomes sharper and moves to lower temperatures. This second effect is the responsible for cooling the system as LU/L0 is increased.
+
+Figure 19 shows how the temperature changes with Ueff /t along the adiabats with S/(N kB) = 0.5 and 0.8. For a fixed SL, increasing Ueff /t leads to heating. This effect is more pronounced than in the homogeneous case [58]. Keeping the SL fixed and increasing U/t increases the temperature by a factor of three at S/(N kB) = 0.5 for Ueff /t going from 0.5 to 4. Conversely, if there is a way to experimentally turn on the interaction strength adiabatically on sites from the free layers, this could be a useful way to cool down the system and achieve lower temperatures in comparison to homogeneous ones. Starting from a system with LU = 1, L0 = 7 with U/t = 8 and T /t = 0.89, turning on the interactions at the free layers until the homogeneous system is achieved, leads to a final temperature of T /t 0.40, more than a factor of two below the initial one.

+VI. CONCLUSIONS
+In summary, we have employed quantum Monte Carlo methods to perform a thorough analysis of the half-filled Hubbard model on a two-dimensional lattice with layer distributed onsite interactions U to understand how it affects the magnetism and charge dynamics. We have found that although the superlattices contain layers with sites possessing vanishing interactions, they are still able to sustain a global antiferrogmagnetic long-range order at finite values of the ratio U/t. We have probed that for
+
+12
+
+SL's with LU  L0, this AF ordering is long ranged at T = 0 but the correspondent order parameter decreases for large interaction values. In fact, the exact dependence of this order parameter with the strength of the interactions depends non-trivially on the superlattice configuration. In turn, some thermodynamical properties, e.g., the temperatures in which spin and charge-fluctuations associated with AF and moment formation start to develop, can be described by a model of an effective homogeneously distributed U . The SL's have a dominant short-ranged AF ordering at finite temperatures regardless of their different layer's construction whose onset follows an RPA-like form: T  exp[-2 t/Ueff ]. This is confirmed by the position of the peak in magnetic susceptibility, as well as, in the low-T peak for the specific heat. Regarding the charge dynamics, the kinetic energy clearly shows an anisotropic behavior, where transport preferentially takes place in the direction parallel to the layers. These results suggest a mechanism of reduced dimensionality induced by the increasing interactions in a layered pattern. In the large U/t limit, this would ultimately result in a decoupling of the repulsive and free layers (or strips). Whether this leads to a transition from a Mott-insulator to an anisotropic metal is still an open
+
+question that deserves further investigation. In connection with the cooling problem in optical lattices, we have also showed a potential cooling protocol where one can more than halve the temperature of the system by adiabatically switching on the interactions in some layers of the lattice. This may renew interest in cooling mechanisms that could eventually reach temperatures to realize the long-sought after d-wave superconductivity in cold atoms experiments.

+[22] It is worth mentioning that the reason behind it is that in Eq. (1) the repulsive sites (Ui > 0) have a lower on-site energy which then balances the occupancy irrespectively of whether a site possesses U = 0 or U = 0. Hence, we are focused here on the effects of the underlying superlattice structure in the physical properties for a situation where charges are still homogeneously distributed.

+8th March 2017
+Abstract In this review we present the most general form of the Janis�Newman algorithm. This extension allows to generate configurations which contain all bosonic fields with spin less than or equal to two (real and complex scalar fields, gauge fields, metric field) and with five of the six parameters of the Plebaski�Demiaski metric (mass, electric charge, magnetic charge, NUT charge and angular momentum). Several examples are included to illustrate the algorithm. We also discuss the extension of the algorithm to other dimensions.

+1 Introduction
+1.1 Motivations
+General relativity is the theory of gravitational phenomena. It describes the dynamical evolution of spacetime through the Einstein�Hilbert action that leads to Einstein equations. The latter are highly non-linear differential equations and finding exact solutions is a notoriously difficult problem.
+There are different types of solutions but this review will cover only black-hole-like solutions (type-D in the Petrov classification) which can be described as particle-like objects that carry some charges, such as a mass or an electric charge.
+Black holes are important objects in any theory of gravity for the insight they provide into the quantum gravity realm. For this reason it is a key step, in any theory, to obtain all possible black holes solutions. Rotating black holes are the most relevant subcases for astrophysics as it is believed that most astrophysical black holes are rotating. These solutions may also provide exterior metric for rotating stars.
+The most general solution of this type in pure Einstein�Maxwell gravity with a cosmological constant  is the Plebaski�Demiaski metric [1, 2]: it possesses six charges: mass m, NUT charge n, electric charge q, magnetic charge p, spin a and acceleration . A challenging work is to generalize this solution to more complex Lagrangians, involving scalar fields and other gauge fields with non-minimal interactions, as is typically the case in supergravity. As the complexity of the equations of motion increase, it is harder to find exact analytical solutions, and one often consider specific types of solutions (extremal, BPS), truncations (some fields are constant, equal or vanishing) or solutions with restricted number of charges. For this reason it is interesting to find solution generating algorithms � procedures which transform a seed configuration to another configuration with a greater complexity (for example with a higher number of charges).
+An on-shell algorithm is very precious because one is sure to obtain a solution if one starts with a seed configuration which solves the equations of motion. On the other hand off-shell algorithms do not necessarily preserve the equations of motion but they are nonetheless very useful: they provide a motivated ansatz, and it is always easier to check if an ansatz satisfy the equations than solving them from scratch. Even if in practice this kind of solution generating technique does not provide so many new solutions, it can help to understand better the underlying theory (which can be general relativity, modified gravities or even supergravity) and it may shed light on the structure of gravitational solutions.
+1.2 The Janis�Newman algorithm
+The Janis�Newman (JN) algorithm is one of these (off-shell) solution generating techniques, which � in its original formulation � generates rotating metrics from static ones. It was found by Janis and Newman as an alternative derivation of the Kerr metric [3], while shortly after it has been used again to discover the Kerr�Newman metric [4].
+This algorithm provides a way to generate axisymmetric metrics from a spherically symmetric seed metric through a particular complexification of radial and (null) time coordinates, followed by a complex coordinate transformation. Often one performs eventually a change of coordinates to write the result in Boyer�Lindquist coordinates.
+The original prescription uses the Newman�Penrose tetrad formalism, which appears to be very tedious since it requires to invert the metric, to find a null tetrad basis where the transformation can be applied, and lastly to invert again the metric. In [5] Giampieri introduced another formulation of the JN algorithm which avoids gymnastics with null tetrads and which appears to be very useful for extending the procedure to more complicated solutions (such as higher dimensional ones). However it has been so far totally ignored in
+5
+
+the literature. We stress that all results are totally equivalent in both approaches, and every computation that can be done with the Giampieri prescription can be done with the other. Finally [6] provides an alternative view on the algorithm.
+In order for the metric to be still real, the radial functions inside the metric must be transformed such that reality is preserved.1 Despite that there is no rigorous statement concerning the possible complexification of these functions, some general features have been worked out in the last decades and a set of rules has been established. Note that this step is the same in both prescriptions. In particular these rules can be obtained by solving the equations of motion for some examples and by identifying the terms in the solution [7]. Another approach consists in expressing the metric functions in terms of the Boyer�Lindquist functions � that appear in the change of coordinates and which are real �, the latter being then determined from the equations of motion [8, 9].
+It is widely believed that the JN algorithm is just a trick without any physical or mathematical basis, which is not accurate. Indeed it was proved by Talbot [10] shortly after its discovery why this transformation was well-defined, and he characterizes under which conditions the algorithm is on-shell for a subclass of Kerr�Schild (KS) metrics (see also [11]).2 KS metrics admit a very natural formulation in terms of complex functions for which (some) complex change of coordinates can be defined. Note that KS metrics are physically interesting as they contain solutions of Petrov type II and D. Another way to understand this algorithm has been provided by Schiffer et al. [12] (see also [13]) who showed that some KS metrics can be written in terms of a unique complex generating function, from which other solutions can be obtained through a complex change of coordinates. In various papers, Newman shows that the imaginary part of complex coordinates may be interpreted as an angular momentum, and there are similar correspondences for other charges (magnetic. . . ) [14�16]. More recently Ferraro shed a new light on the JN algorithm using Cartan formalism [17]. Uniqueness results for the case of pure Einstein theory have been derived in [8]. A recent account on these different points can be found in [18].
+In its current form the algorithm is independent of the gravity theory under consideration since it operates independently at the level of each field in order to generate an ansatz, and the equations of motion are introduced only at the end to check if the configuration is a genuine solution. We believe that a better understanding of the algorithm would lead to an on-shell formulation where the algorithm would be interpreted as some kind of symmetry or geometric property. One intuition is that every configuration found with the JN algorithm and solving the equations of motion is derived from a seed that also solves the equations of motion (in particular no useful ansatz has been generated from an off-shell seed configuration).
+Other solution generating algorithms rely on a complex formulation of general relativity which allows complex changes of coordinates. This is the case of the Ernst potential formulation [19, 20] or of Quevedo's formalism who decomposes the Riemann tensor in irreducible representations of SO(3, C)  SO(3, 1) and then uses the symmetry group to generate new solutions [21, 22].
+Despite its long history the Janis�Newman algorithm has not produced any new rotating solution for non-fluid configurations (which excludes radiating and interior solutions) beside the Kerr�Newman metric [4], and very few known examples have been reproduced [3, 23� 26]. Generically the application the Janis�Newman algorithm to interior and radiating systems [9, 27�31] consist in deriving a configuration that do not solve the equations of motion by itself and to interpret the mismatch as a fluid (whose properties can be studied) � in this review we will not be interested by this kind of applications. Moreover the only
+1For simplifying, we will say that we complexify the functions inside the metric when we perform this transformation, even if in practice we "realify" them.
+2It has not been proved that the KS condition is necessary, but all known examples seem to fit in this category.

+solutions that have been fully derived using the algorithm are the original Kerr metric [3], the d = 3 BTZ black hole [24, 25] and the d-dimensional Myers�Perry metric with a single angular momentum [23]: only the metric was found in the other cases [4, 26] and the other fields had to be obtained using the equations of motion.
+A first explanation is that there is no real understanding of the algorithm in its most general form (as reviewed above it is understood in some cases): there is no geometric or symmetry-related interpretation. Another reason is that the algorithm has been defined only for the metric (and real scalar fields) and no extension to the other types of fields was known until recently. It has also been understood that the algorithm could not be applied in the presence of a cosmological constant [7]: in particular the (a)dS�Kerr(�Newman) metrics [32] (see also [1, 2, 33, 34]) cannot be derived in this way despite various erroneous claims [30, 35]. Finally many works [36�44] (to cite only few) are (at least partly) incorrect or not reliable because they do not check the equations of motion or they perform non-integrable Boyer�Lindquist changes of coordinates [31, 45, 46].
+The algorithm was later shown to be generalizable by Demiaski and Newman who demonstrated by writing a general ansatz and solving the equations of motion that other parameters can be added [7, 47], even in the presence of a cosmological constant. While one parameter corresponds to the NUT charge, the other one did not receive any interpretation until now.3 Unfortunately Demiaski did not express his result to a concrete algorithm (the normal prescription fails in the presence of the NUT charge and of the cosmological constant) which may explain why this work did not receive any further attention. Note that the algorithm also failed in the presence of magnetic charges.
+A way to avoid problems in defining the changes of coordinates to the Boyer�Lindquist system and to find the complexification of the functions has been proposed in [8] and extended in [31]: the method consists in writing the unknown complexified function in terms of the functions of the coordinate transformation. This philosophy is particularly well-suited for providing an ansatz which does not relies on a static seed solution.
+More recently it has been investigated whether the JN algorithm can be applied in modified theories of gravity. Pirogov put forward that rotating metrics obtained from the JN algorithm in Brans�Dicke theory are not solutions if  = 1 [51]. Similarly Hansen and Yunes have shown a similar result in quadratic modified gravity (which includes Gauss� Bonnet) [52].4 These do not include Sen's dilaton�axion black hole for which  = 1 (section 6.4), nor the BBMB black hole from conformal gravity (section 6.2). Finally it was proved in [54] that it does not work either for Einstein�Born�Infled theories.5 We note that all these no-go theorem have been found by assuming a transformation with only rotation.
+Previous reviews of the JN algorithm can be found in [18, 55, chap. 19, 8, 38, sec. 5.4] (see also [56]).
+1.3 Summary
+The goal of the current work is to review a series of recent papers [57�60] in which the JN algorithm has been extended in several directions, opening the doors to many new applications. This review evolved from the thesis of the author [61], which presented the material from a slightly different perspective, and from lectures given at Hri (Allahabad, India).
+3Demiaski's metric has been generalized in [48�50]. 4There are some errors in the introduction of [52]: they report incorrectly that the result from [51] implies that Sen's black hole cannot be derived from the JN algorithm, as was done by Yazadjiev [26]. But this black hole corresponds to  = 1 and as reported above there is no problem in this case (see [53] for comparison). Moreover they argue that several works published before 2013 did not take into account the results of Pirogov [51], published in 2013. . . 5It may be possible to circumvent the result of [54] by using the results described in this review since several tools were not known by its author.

+
+As explained in the previous section, the JN algorithm was formulated only for the metric and all other fields had to be found using the equations of motion (with or without using an ansatz). For example neither the Kerr�Newman gauge field or its associated field strength could be derived in [4]. The solution to this problem is to perform a gauge transformation in order to remove the radial component of the gauge field in null coordinates [57]. It is then straightforward to apply the JN algorithm in either prescription.6 Another problem was exemplified by the derivation of Sen's axion�dilaton rotating black hole [63] by Yazadjiev [26], who could find the metric and the dilaton, but not the axion (nor the gauge field). The reason is that while the JN algorithm applies directly to real scalar fields, it does not for complex scalar fields (or for a pair of real fields that can naturally be gathered into a complex scalar). Then it is necessary to consider the complex scalar as a unique object and to perform the transformation without trying to keep it real [60]. Hence this completes the JN algorithm for all bosonic fields with spin less than or equal to two.
+A second aspect for which the original form of the algorithm was deficient is configuration with magnetic and NUT charges and in presence of a cosmological constant. The issue corresponds to finding how one should complexify the functions: the usual rules do not work and if there were no way to obtain the functions by complexification then the JN algorithm would be of limited interest as it could not be exported to other cases (except if one is willing to solve equations of motion, which is not the goal of a solution generating technique). We have found that to reproduce Demiaski's result [7] it is necessary to complexify also the mass and to consider the complex parameter m + in [59, 60] and to shift the curvature of the spherical horizon. Similarly for configurations with magnetic charges one needs to consider the complex charge q + ip [60]. Such complex combinations are quite natural from the point of view of the Plebaski�Demiaski solution [1, 2] described previously. It is to notice that the appearance of complex coordinate transformations mixed with complex parameter transformations was a feature of Quevedo's solution generating technique [21, 22], yet it is unclear what the link with our approach really is. Hence the final metric obtained from the JN algorithm may contain (for vanishing cosmological constant) five of the six Plebaski�Demiaski parameters [1, 2] along with Demiaski's parameter.
+An interesting fact is that the previous argument works in the presence of the cosmological constant only if one considers the possibility of having a generic topological horizons (flat, hyperbolic or spherical) and for this reason we have provided an extension of the formalism to this case [59].
+We also propose a generalization of the algorithm to any dimension [58], but while new examples could be found for d = 5 the program could not be carried to the end for d > 5.
+All these results provide a complete framework for most of the theories of gravity that are commonly used. As a conclusion we summarize the features of our new results:
+� all bosonic fields with spin  2;
+� topological horizons;
+� charges m, n, q, p, a (with a only for  = 0);
+� extend to d = 3, 5 dimensions (and proposal for higher).
+We have written a general Mathematica package for the JN algorithm in Einstein�Maxwell theory.7 Here is a list of new examples that have been completely derived using the previous results (all in 4d except when said explicitly):
+6Another solution has been proposed by Keane [62] but it is applicable only to the Newman�Penrose coefficients of the field strength. Our proposal requires less computations and yields directly the gauge field from which all relevant quantities can easily be derived.

+1.4 Outlook
+A major playground for this modified Janis�Newman (JN) algorithm is (gauged) supergravity � where many interesting solutions remain to be discovered � since all the necessary ingredients are now present. Moreover important solutions are still missing in higherdimensional Einstein�Maxwell (in particular the charged Myers�Perry solution) and one can hope that understanding the JN algorithm in higher dimensions would shed light on this problem. Another open case is whether black rings can also be derived using the algorithm.
+A major question about the JN algorithm is whether it is possible to include rotation for non-vanishing cosmological constant. A possible related problem concerns the addition of acceleration , which is the only missing parameter when  = 0. It is indeed puzzling that one could get all Plebaski�Demiaski parameters but the acceleration, which appears in the combination a + i. Both problems are linked to the fact that the JN algorithm � in its current form � does not take into account various couplings between the parameters (such as the spin with the cosmological constant or the acceleration with the mass in the simplest cases). On the other hand it does not mean that it is impossible to find a generalization of the algorithm: philosophically the problem is identical to the ones of adding NUT and magnetic charges.
+In any case the meaning and a rigorous derivation of the JN algorithm � perhaps elevating it to the status of a true solution generating algorithm � are still to be found. It is also interesting to note that almost all of the examples quoted in the previous section can be embedded into N = 2 supergravity. This calls for a possible interpretation of the algorithm in terms of some hidden symmetry of supergravity, or even of string theory.
+We hope that our new extension of the algorithm will help to bring it outside the shadow where it stayed since its creation and to establish it as a standard tool for deriving new solutions in the various theories of gravity.

+1.5 Overview
+In section 2 we review the original Janis�Newman algorithm and its alternative form due to Giampieri before illustrating it with some examples. Section 3 shows how to extend the algorithm to more complicated set of fields (complex scalars, gauge fields) and parameters (magnetic and NUT charges, topological horizon). Then section 4 provides a general description of the algorithm in its most general form. The complex transformation described in the previous section are derived in section 5. Section 6 describes several examples. Finally section 7 extends first the algorithm to five dimensions and section 8 generalizes these ideas to any dimension.
+Appendix A gathers useful formulas on coordinate systems in various numbers of dimensions. Appendix B reviews briefly the main properties of N = 2 supergravity. Finally appendix C discusses some additional properties of the JN algorithm.
+In our conventions the spacetime signature is mostly plus.
+2 Algorithm: main ideas
+In this section we summarize the original algorithm together with its extension to gauge fields. We will see that the algorithm involves the transformations of two different objects (the tensor structure and the coordinate-dependent functions of the fields) which can be taken care of separately. The transformation of the tensor structure is simple and no new idea (for d = 4) will be needed after this section since we will be dealing with the two most general tensor structures for bosonic fields of spin less than or equal to two (the metric and vector fields). On the other hand the transformation of the functions is more involved and we will introduce new concepts through simple examples in the next section before giving the most general formulation in section 4. We review the two different prescriptions for the transformation and we illustrate the algorithm with two basic examples: the flat space and the Kerr�Newman metrics.
+2.1 Summary
+The general procedure for the Janis�Newman algorithm can be summarized as follows:
+1. Perform a change of coordinates (t, r) to (u, r) and a gauge transformation such that grr = 0 and Ar = 0.
+2. Take u, r  C and replace the functions fi(r) inside the real fields by new real-valued functions f~i(r, r�) (there is a set of "empirical" rules).
+3. Perform a complex change of coordinates and transform accordingly:
+(a) the tensor structure, i.e. the dx� (two prescriptions: Janis�Newman [3] and Giampieri [5]);
+(b) the functions f~i(r, r�).
+4. Perform a change of coordinates to simplify the metric (for example to Boyer�Lindquist system). If the transformation is infinitesimal then one should check that it is a valid diffeomorphism, i.e. that it is integrable.
+Note that in the last point the operations (a) and (b) are independent. In practice one is performing the algorithm for a generic class of configurations with unspecified fi(r) in order to obtain general formulas. One leaves point 2 and (3b) implicit since the other steps are independent of the form of the functions. Then given a specific configuration one can perform 2 and (3b).
+10
+
+Throughout the review we will not be interested in showing that the examples discussed are indeed solutions but merely to explain how to extend the algorithm. All examples we are discussing have been shown to be solutions of the theory under concerned and we refer the reader to the original literature for more details. For this reason we will rarely mention the action or the equations of motion and just discussed the fields and their expressions.
+One could add a fifth point to the list: checking the equations of motion. We stress again that the algorithm is off-shell and there is no guarantee (except in some specific cases [18]) that a solution is mapped to a solution.
+
+2.2 Algorithm
+We present the algorithm for a metric g� and a gauge field A� associated with a U(1) gauge symmetry. This simple case is sufficient to illustrate the main features of the algorithm.
+As already mentioned in the introduction, the authors of [4] failed to derive the field strength of the Kerr�Newman black hole from the Reissner�Nordstr�m one. In the null tetrad formalism it is natural to write the field strength in terms of its Newman�Penrose coefficients, but a problem arises when one tries to generate the rotating solution since one of the coefficients is zero in the case of Reissner�Nordstr�m, but non-zero for Kerr� Newman. Three different prescriptions have been proposed: two works in the Newman� Penrose formalism � one with the field strength [62] and one with the gauge field [57] � while the third extends Giampieri's approach to the gauge field [57]. Since the proposals from [57] fit more directly (and parallel each other) inside the prescriptions of Janis�Newman and Giampieri, we will focus on them. It is also more convenient to work with the gauge fields since any other quantity can be easily computed from them.
+
+2.2.1 Seed metric and gauge fields
+
+The seed metric and gauge field take the form
+
+ds2 = -f (r) dt2 + f (r)-1 dr2 + r2d2, d2 = d2 + H()2 d2, A = fA(r) dt.
+
+(2.1a) (2.1b)
+
+The normalized curvature of the (, ) sections (or equivalently of the horizon) is denoted
+
+by 
+
+=
+
++1 -1
+
+S2, H2
+
+(2.2)
+
+where S2 and H2 are respectively the sphere and the hyperboloid,9 and one has
+
+H() = sin   = 1, sinh   = -1.
+
+(2.3)
+
+In all this section we will consider the case of spherical horizon with  = 1. Introduce Eddington�Finkelstein coordinates (u, r)
+du = dt - f -1dr
+
+(2.4)
+
+in order to remove the grr term of the metric [3]. Under this transformation the gauge field
+
+becomes
+
+A = fA (du + f -1dr).
+
+(2.5)
+
+9We leave aside the case of the plane R2 with  = 0. The formulas can easily be extended to this case.
+
+11
+
+The changes of coordinate has introduced an Ar component but since it depends only on the radial coordinate Ar = Ar(r) it can be removed by a gauge transformation.
+At the end the metric and gauge fields are
+
+ds2 = -f dt2 + 2dudr + r2d2, A = fA du.
+
+(2.6a) (2.6b)
+
+This last step was missing in [4] and explains why they could not derive the full solution from the algorithm. The lesson to draw is that the validity of the algorithm depends a lot on the coordinate basis10 and of the parametrization of the fields, although guiding principle founded on all known examples seems that one needs to have
+
+grr = 0, Ar = 0.
+
+(2.7)
+
+2.2.2 Janis�Newman prescription: Newman�Penrose formalism
+
+The Janis�Newman prescription for transforming the tensor structure relies on the Newman� Penrose formalism [3, 4, 18].
+First one needs to obtain the contravariant expressions of the metric and of the gauge field

+
+A = -fA r.
+
+(2.8a) (2.8b)
+
+Then one introduces null complex tetrads
+
+Za� = { �, n�, m�, m� �}
+

+
+with flat metric

+
+0 0 10
+
+such that
+
+g� = abZa�Zb = - �n -  n� + m�m�  + m m� �.
+
+The explicit tetrad expressions are
+
+(2.10) (2.11)
+
+� = r�,
+
+n�

+
+u� -
+

+
+1 
+
+2r�
+
+�
+
++
+
+i sin 
+
+�
+
+(2.12)
+
+and the gauge field is
+
+A� = -fA �.
+
+(2.13)
+
+Note that without the gauge transformation there would be an additional term and the expression of A� in terms of the tetrads would be ambiguous.
+At this point u and r are allowed to take complex values but keeping � and n� real and (m�) = m� � and replacing
+
+f (r) - f~(r, r�)  R, fA(r) - f~A(r, r�)  R.
+
+(2.14)
+
+10The canonical example being that the Kerr metric in quasi-isotropic coordinates cannot be derived from the Schwarzschild metric in isotropic coordinates while it can be derived in the usual coordinates (see section 2.3.2).
+
+12
+
+Consistency implies that one recovers the seed for r� = r and u� = u. Finally one can perform a complex change of coordinates
+
+u = u + ia cos , r = r - ia cos 
+
+(2.15)
+
+where a is a parameter (to be interpreted as the angular momentum per unit of mass) and
+
+r , u  R. While this transformation seems arbitrary we will show later (sections 4 and 5) how to extend it and that general consistency limits severely the possibilities. The tetrads
+
+transform as vectors
+
+Za�
+
+=
+
+x � x
+
+Za
+
+(2.16)
+
+and this lead to the expressions

+
+
+
+(u�
+
+-
+
+r�)
+
+.
+
+(2.17)
+
+After inverting the contravariant form of the metric and the gauge field one is lead to the final expressions
+
+ds 2 = -f~(du - a sin2  d)2 - 2 (du - a sin2  d)(dr + a sin2  d) + 2d2, (2.18a)
+
+A = f~A (du - a sin2  d).
+
+(2.18b)
+
+where
+
+2 = |r|2 = r 2 + a2 cos2 .
+
+(2.19)
+
+The coordinate dependence of the functions can be written as
+
+f~ = f~(r, r�) = f~(r , )
+
+(2.20)
+
+in the new coordinates (and similarly for f~A), but note that the  dependence is not arbitrary and comes solely from Im r.
+
+2.2.3 Giampieri prescription
+
+The net effect of the transformation (2.15) on the tensor structure amounts to the replace-
+
+ments
+
+du - du - a sin2  d, dr - dr + a sin2  d
+
+(2.21)
+
+by comparing (2.6) and (2.18), up to the r2  2 in front of d2. Is it possible to obtain the
+
+same effect by avoiding the Newman�Penrose formalism and all the computations associated
+
+to changing from covariant to contravariant expressions? Inspecting the infinitesimal form
+
+of (2.15)
+
+du = du - ia sin  d, dr = dr + ia sin  d,
+
+(2.22)
+
+one sees that (2.21) can be recovered if one sets [5]
+
+id = sin  d.
+
+(2.23)
+
+Note that it should be done only in the infinitesimal transformation and not elsewhere in the metric. Although some authors [17, 30] mentioned the equivalence between the tetrad computation and (2.21), it is surprising that this direction has not been followed further.
+While this new prescription is not rigorous and there is no known way to derive (2.23), it continues to hold for the most general seed (section 4) and it gives systematically the
+
+13
+
+same results as the Janis�Newman prescription, as can be seen by simple inspection. In particular this approach is not adding nor removing any of the ambiguities due to the function transformations that are already present and well-known in JN algorithm. Since this prescription is much simpler we will continue to use it throughout the rest of this review (we will show in section 4 how it is modified for topological horizons).
+Finally the comparison of the two prescriptions clearly shows that the r2 factor in front of d2 should be considered as a function instead of a part of the tensor structure: the replacement r2  2 is dictated by the rules given in the next section. We did not want to enter into these subtleties here but this will become evident in section 4.
+
+2.2.4 Transforming the functions
+
+The transformation of the functions is common to both the Janis�Newman and Giampieri prescriptions since they are independent of the tensor structure. This step is the main weakness of the Janis�Newman algorithm because there is no unique way to perform the replacement and for this reason the final result contains some part of arbitrariness. This provides another incentive for checking systematically if the equations of motion are satisfied. Nonetheless examples have provided a small set of rules [3, 4, 8, 57]

+1 r�
+
+=
+
+Re r |r|2 ,
+
+r2 - |r|2.
+
+(2.24a) (2.24b) (2.24c)
+
+The idea is to use geometric or arithmetic means. All other functions can be reduced to a combination of them, for example 1/r2 is complexified as 1/|r|2.
+Every known configuration which does not involve a magnetic, a NUT charge, complex scalar fields or powers higher of rthan quadratic can be derived with these rules (these cases will be dealt with in sections 3 and 4). Hence despite the fact that there is some arbitrariness, it is ultimately quite limited and very few options are possible in most cases.
+
+2.2.5 Boyer�Lindquist coordinates
+
+Boyer�Lindquist coordinates are defined to be those with the minimal number of non-zero
+
+off-diagonal components in the metric. Performing the transformation (the primes in (2.18)
+
+are now omitted)
+
+du = dt - g(r)dr , d = d - h(r)dr,

+
+=
+
+a 
+
+(2.26)
+
+where we have defined
+
+(r) = f~2 + a2 sin2 .
+
+(2.27)
+
+As indicated by the r-dependence this change of variables is integrable provided that g and h are functions of r only. However  as given in (2.27) for a generic configuration contains a  dependence: one should check that this dependence cancels once restricted to the example of interest. Otherwise one is not allowed to perform this change of coordinates (but other systems may still be found).

+(2.30)
+
+Generically the radial component of the gauge field depends only on radial coordinate Ar = Ar(r) (-dependence of the function f~A sits in a factor 1/2 which cancels the one in front of dr) and one can perform a gauge transformation in order to set it to zero, leaving
+
+A = f~A dt - a sin2  d .
+
+(2.31)
+
+2.3 Examples
+2.3.1 Flat space It is straightforward to check that the algorithm applied to the Minkowski metric � which has f = 1, leading to f~ = 1 � in spherical coordinates
+
+ds2 = -dt2 + dr2 + r2 d2 + sin2  d2
+
+(2.32)
+
+gives again the Minkowski metric but in spheroidal coordinates (A.31) (after a Boyer� Lindquist transformation)

+
+(2.33)
+
+recalling that 2 = r2 + a2 cos2 . The metric is exactly diagonal because gt = 0 for f~ = 1 from (2.28a).
+Hence for flat space the JN algorithm reduces to a change of coordinates, from spherical to (oblate) spheroidal coordinates: the 2-spheres foliating the space in the radial direction are deformed to ellipses with semi-major axis a.
+This fact is an important consistency check that will be useful when extending the algorithm to higher dimensions (section 8) or to other coordinate systems (such as one with direction cosines). Moreover in this case one can forget about the time direction and consider only the transformation of the radial coordinate.

+
+3.1 Magnetic charges: dyonic Kerr�Newman

+There is a coupling between the parameters a and p which can be interpreted from the fact that a rotating magnetic charge has an electric quadrupole moment. This coupling is taken into account from the product of the imaginary parts which yield a real term. In view of the form of the algorithm such contribution could not arise from any other place. Moreover the combination Z = q + ip appears naturally in the Plebaski�Demiaski solution [1, 2].
+The Yang�Mills Kerr�Newman black hole found by Perry [64] can also be derived in this way, starting from the seed
+
+AI = qI dt + pI cos  d, r
+
+|Z|2 = qI qI + pI pI
+

+3.2 NUT charge and cosmological constant and topological horizon: (anti-)de Sitter Schwarzschild�NUT
+In this subsection we consider general topological horizons

+d2 = d2 + H()2 d2,
+
+H() =
+
+sin  sinh 
+
+ = 1 (S2),  = -1 (H2).
+
+(3.12)
+
+The cosmological constant is denoted by . We give only the main formulas to motivate the modification of the algorithm, leaving the details of the transformation for section 4.

+
+Note that it is necessary to consider the general case of massive black hole with topological
+
+horizon (if  = 0 for the latter) even if one is ultimately interested in the m = 0 or  = 1
+
+cases.
+
+The transformation (3.13) can be interpreted as follows. In similarity with the case of
+
+the magnetic charge, writing the mass as a complex parameter is needed to take into account
+
+some couplings between the parameters that would not be found otherwise. Moreover the
+
+shift of  is required because the curvature of the (, ) section should be normalized to
+
+ = �1 but the coupling of the NUT charge with the cosmological constant modifies the
+
+curvature: the new shift is necessary to balance this effect and to normalize the (, )
+
+curvature to  = �1 in the new metric. The NUT charge in the Plebaski�Demiaski
+
+solution [1, 2] is
+
+=n
+
+1

+
+so the natural complex combination is m + i and not m + in from this point of view, and similarly for the curvature [74, sec. 5.3] (such relations appear when taking limit of the Plebaski�Demiaski solution to recover subcases).
+Finally we conclude this section with two remarks to quote different contexts where the above expression appear naturally :

+3.3 Complex scalar fields
+
+For a complex scalar field, or any pair of real fields that can be naturally gathered as a complex field, one should treat the full field as a single entity instead of looking at the real and imaginary parts independently. In particular one should not impose any reality condition. A typical case of such system is the axion�dilaton pair
+
+ = e-2 + i.
+
+(3.23)
+
+In order to demonstrate this principle consider the seed (for a complete example see
+
+section 6.4)
+
+ =1+ � r
+
+(3.24)
+
+where only the dilaton is non-zero. Then the transformation (2.15) gives

+The transformation generates an imaginary part which cannot be obtained if Im  is treated separately: the algorithm does not change fields that vanish except if they are components of a larger field. Note that both  and  are harmonic functions.
+
+4 Complete algorithm
+In this section we gather all the facts on the Janis�Newman algorithm and we explain how to apply it to a general setting. We write the formulas corresponding to the most general configurations that can be obtained. We insist again on the fact that all these results can also be derived from the tetrad formalism.
+
+4.1 Seed configuration
+We consider a general configuration with a metric g�, gauge fields AI�, complex scalar fields  i and real scalar fields qu. The initial parameters of the seed configuration are the mass m, electric charges qI , magnetic charges pi and some other parameters A (such as the scalar charges). The electric and magnetic charges are grouped in complex parameters
+
+ZI = qI + ipI .
+
+(4.1)
+
+All indices run over some arbitrary ranges. The seed configuration is spherically symmetric and in particular all the fields depend
+only on the radial direction r
+
+ds2 = -ft(r) dt2 + fr(r) dr2 + f(r) d2, AI = f I (r) dt + pI H () d,  i =  i(r), qu = qu(r)
+
+(4.2a) (4.2b) (4.2c)
+
+where
+
+d2 = d2 + H()2 d2,
+
+H() =
+
+sin  sinh 
+
+ = 1 (S2),  = -1 (H2).
+
+(4.3)
+
+Note that only two functions in the metric are relevant since the last one can be fixed through a diffeomorphism. All the real functions are denoted collectively by
+
+fi = {ft, fr, f, f I , qu}.
+
+(4.4)
+
+19
+
+The transformation to null coordinates is
+
+dt = du - fr dr ft
+and yields ds2 = -ft du2 - 2 ftfr dr2 + f d2, AI = f I du + pI H d
+where the radial component of the gauge field
+
+AIr = f I
+
+fr ft
+
+has been set to zero through a gauge transformation.

+4.2 Janis�Newman algorithm
+
+4.2.1 Complex transformation
+
+One performs the complex change of coordinates
+
+r = r + i F (), u = u + i G().
+
+(4.8)
+
+In the case of topological horizons the Giampieri ansatz (2.23) generalizes to
+
+i d = H() d
+
+(4.9)
+
+leading to the differentials
+
+dr = dr + F ()H() d, du = du + G ()H() d.
+
+(4.10)
+
+The ansatz (4.9) is a direct consequence of the fact that the 2-dimensional slice (, ) is given
+by d2 = d2 + H()2 d2, such that the function in the RHS of (4.9) corresponds to g (where g is the static metric), as can be seen by doing the computation with i d = H()d and identifying H = H at the end.
+The most general known transformation is
+
+F () = n - a H () + c

+(4.11c)
+
+=
+
+-
+
+4 3
+
+n2,
+
+(4.11d)
+
+where a, c = 0 only if  = 0 (see section 5 for the derivation). The mass that is transformed is the physical mass: even if it written in terms of other parameters one should identify it and transform it.
+The parameters a and n correspond respectively to the angular momentum and to the NUT charge. On the other hand the constant c did not receive any clear interpretation (see for example [7, 18, 77, sec. 5.3]). It can be noted that the solution is of type II in Petrov classification (and thus the JN algorithm can change the Petrov type) and it corresponds to a wire singularity on the rotation axis. Moreover the BL transformation is not well-defined.
+

+
+4.2.2 Function transformation
+
+All the real functions fi = fi(r) must be modified to be kept real once r  C
+
+f~i = f~i(r, r�) = f~i r , F ()  R.
+
+(4.12)
+
+The last equality means that f~i can depend on  only through Im r = F (). The condition that one recovers the seed for r� = r = r is
+
+f~i(r , 0) = fi(r ).
+
+(4.13)
+
+If all magnetic charges are vanishing or in terms without electromagnetic charges the rules for finding the f~i are
+
+r
+
+-
+
+1 2
+
+(r
+
++
+
+r�)
+
+=
+
+Re r,

++
+

+
+=
+
+Re r |r|2 ,
+
+(4.14a) (4.14b)
+
+r2 - |r|2.
+
+(4.14c)
+
+Up to quadratic powers of r and r-1 these rules determine almost uniquely the result. This is not anymore the case when the configurations involve higher power. These can be dealt with by splitting it in lower powers: generically one should try to factorize the expression into at most quadratic pieces. Some examples of this with natural guesses are
+
+r4 - b2 = (r2 + b)(r2 - b),
+
+r4 + b = r2
+
+r2
+
++
+
+b r2
+
+.
+
+(4.15)
+
+Moreover the same power of r can be transformed differently, for example
+
+1
+
+11
+
+rn - rn-2 |r|2 .
+
+(4.16)
+
+Denoting by Q(r) and P (r) collectively all functions that multiply qI and pI respectively, all such terms should be rewritten as
+
+qI Q(r), pI P (r) = Re ZI Q(r) , Im ZI P (r)
+
+(4.17)
+
+before performing the transformation (4.8). Note that in this case one does not use the rules (4.14).
+Finally the transformed complex scalars are obtained by simply plugging (4.8)
+
+ i(r , ) =  i r + iF () .
+
+(4.18)
+
+4.2.3 Null coordinates
+
+Plugging the transformation (4.8) inside the seed metric and gauge fields (4.6) leads to11
+
+ds2 = -f~t (du +  dr + H d)2 + 2 dr d + f~ d2 + 2H2 d2 , AI = f~I (du + G H d) + pI H d

+
+(4.31)
+

+
+(4.32)

+4.3 Open questions
+The algorithm we have described help to work with five (four if  = 0) of the six parameters of the Plebaski�Demiaski (PD) solution. It is tempting to conjecture that it can be extended to the full set of parameters by generalizing the ideas described in section 3.2 (shifting , writing a + i. . . ). Indeed we have found that these operations were quite natural in the context of the PD solution and inspiration could be found in [74].
+
+5 Derivation of the transformations
+The goal of this section is to derive the form (4.11a) of the possible complex transformations. This method was first used by Demiaski [7] and then generalized in [59]. The idea is to perform the algorithm in a simple setting (metric with one unknown function and one gauge field), leaving arbitrary the functions F () and G() in (4.8) and f~i before solving the equations of motion to determine them. Then the result can be reinterpreted in terms of rules to get the functions f~i from fi (this last part was not discussed in [7]). This selects the possible complex transformations. Then one can hope that these transformations will be the most general ones (under the assumptions that are made), and one can use these transformations in other cases without having to solve the equations. The latter claim can be justified by looking at the equations of motions for more complex examples: even if one cannot find directly a solution, one finds that the same structure persists [59] (this is also motivated by the solutions in [49, 50]). Another strength of this approach is to remove the ambiguity of the algorithm since the functions are found from the equations of motion, and this may help when one does not know how to perform precisely the algorithm (for example in higher dimensions, see section 8).
+Another goal of this section is to expose the full technical details of the computations: Demiaski's paper [7] is short and results are extremely condensed. In particular we uncover an underlying assumption on the form of the metric function and we show how this lead to an error an in his formula (14) (already pointed out in [21]). A generalization of this hypothesis leads to other equations that we could not solve analytically and which may lead to other complex transformations.
+Finally this analysis shows the impossibility to derive the (a)dS�Kerr(�Newman) solutions from the JN algorithm. As discussed in the previous section generalization of the ansatz may help to avoid this no-go theorem.
+

+
+5.1 Setting up the ansatz

+
+5.2 Static solution
+It is straightforward to solve the equations (5.2) for the static configuration (5.5). Only the (t) component of Maxwell equations is non trivial
+
+2fA + rfA = 0,
+
+(5.14)
+
+the prime being a derivative with respect to r, and its solution is
+
+fA(r)
+
+=
+
+
+
++
+
+q r
+
+(5.15)
+
+where q is a constant of integration that is interpreted as the charge and  is an additional constant that can be removed by a gauge transformation.
+The only relevant Einstein equation is
+

+

+
++
+
+r2
+

+
+f
+
++
+

+
+(5.16)
+
+whose solution reads
+
+f (r)

+2m r

++
+
+q2 r2
+
+-
+
+ 3
+
+r2,
+
+(5.17)
+
+m being a constant of integration that is identified to the mass.
+
+We stress that we are just looking for solutions of Einstein equations and we are not concerned with regularity (in particular it is well-known that only  = 1 is well-defined for
+
+ = 0).
+
+The solution we will find in the next section should reduce to this one upon setting
+
+F, G = 0.
+
+5.3 Stationary solution
+Since Boyer�Lindquist imposes additional restrictions on the solutions we will solve the equations of motion (5.2) for the configuration in null coordinates (5.9).

+
+5.3.1 Simplifying the equations
+
+The components (rr) and (r) give respectively the equation
+
+G + H G = �2F, H
+F G + H G = 2F F . H
+
+(5.18a) (5.18b)
+
+If F = 0 then F is an arbitrary constant and the sign of the first equation can be absorbed into its definition.12 On the other hand if F = 0 one can simplify by the latter in the
+
+second equation and this fixes the sign of the first equation. Then in both cases the relevant
+
+equation reduces to
+
+G + H G = 2F, H
+
+(5.19)
+
+which depends only on  and allows to solve for G in terms of F .
+
+Integrating the r-component of the Maxwell equation gives
+
+f~A
+
+=
+
+r2
+
+qr + F2
+
++
+
+
+
+r2 r2
+
+- +
+
+F2 F2.
+
+(5.20)
+
+The -equation reads
+
+F = 0
+
+(5.21)
+
+which implies  = 0 if F = 0. The - and t-equations follow from these two equations. As
+
+seen above,  can be removed in the static limit F  0 and in the rest of this section we
+
+consider only the case13
+
+ = 0.
+
+(5.22)
+
+The (tr) equation contains only r-derivatives of f~ and can be integrated, giving14
+
+f~ =
+

+
+F4 + F2
+
+(5.23)
+
+where again m is a constant of integration interpreted as the mass and the function K is
+
+defined by
+
+2K = F + H F . H
+
+(5.24)
+
+This implies the equations (r) and ().
+
+As explained below (4.12) the -dependence should be contain in F () only. The second term of the function f~ contains some lonely  from the H() in the function K: this means
+
+that they should be compensated by the F , and we therefore ask that the sum F + K be constant15
+
+ F + K = 0 =  F + K = n.
+
+(5.25)
+
+The parameter n is interpreted as the NUT charge. The components (t) and () give the same equation
+
+ F = 0.
+
+(5.26)
+
+Finally one can check that the last three equations (tt), (t) and () are satisfied.
+12In particular all expressions are quadratic in F , but only linear in F . 13We relax this assumption in section 5.4.2. 14In [7] the last term of f~ is missing as pointed out in [21]. 15In section 5.4.1 we relax this last assumption by allowing non-constant F + K. In this context the equations and the function f~ are modified and this provides an explanation for the Demiaski's error in f~ in [7].
+

+2F = G + H G , H

+
+(5.27d)
+
+We also defined
+
+2K = F + H F . H
+
+(5.27e)
+
+As explained in the introduction the second step will be to explain (5.27d) in terms of new rules for the algorithm: they have been found in [59] and this was the topic of section 4.2.
+In the next subsections we solve explicitly the equations (5.27) in both cases  = 0 and  = 0.
+
+5.3.3 Solution for  = 0
+
+Equation (5.27c) implies that F = 0, from which K = 0 follows by definition; then one
+
+obtains
+
+F () = n
+
+(5.28)
+
+by compatibility with (5.27b) and since K() = 0. Solution to (5.27a) is
+
+G()
+

+

+
+n
+
+ln
+
+H
+
+()
+
++
+
+c2
+
+ln
+
+H (/2) H (/2)
+
+(5.29)
+
+where c1 and c2 are two constants of integration. Since only G appears in the metric we can set c1 = 0. On the other hand the constant c2 can be removed by the transformation
+
+du = du - c2 d
+
+(5.30)
+
+since one has
+
+ln
+
+H H
+
+(/2) (/2)
+
+The solution to the system (5.27) is thus
+
+=
+
+1 H() .
+
+(5.31)
+
+F () = n, The function f~ then takes the form
+
+G() = -2 n ln H().
+
+(5.32)
+
+f~ =

+-

+
++ 6n2r2 - r2 + n2
+

+
+(5.33)
+
+This corresponds to the (a)dS�Schwarzschild�NUT solution: compare with (3.18) and (4.33). The parameter  in the BL transformation (4.24) is
+
+

+
+(5.34)
+
+27
+
+As noted by Demiaski the only parameters that appear are the mass and the NUT charge, and it is not possible to add angular momentum for non-vanishing cosmological constant.16 As a consequence the JN algorithm cannot provide a derivation of the (a)dS� Kerr�Newman solution.
+
+5.3.4 Solution for  = 0
+
+The solution to the differential equation (5.27b) is
+
+F () = n - a H () + c
+
+1
+
++
+
+H
+
+()
+
+ln
+
+H (/2) H (/2)
+
+(5.35)
+
+where a and c denote two constants of integration. We solve the equation (5.27a) for G
+
+G()
+
+=
+
+c1
+
++
+
+aH
+

+
+-
+
+2 n ln H()
+
++
+
+(a
+
++
+
+c2)
+
+ln
+
+H (/2) H (/2)
+
+(5.36)
+
+and c1, c2 are constants of integration. Again since only G appears in the metric we can set c1 = 0. We can also remove the last term with the transformation
+
+du = du - (c2 + a)d.
+
+(5.37)
+
+One finally gets
+
+F () = n - a H () + c
+
+1
+
++
+
+H
+
+()
+
+ln
+
+H (/2) H (/2)
+
+,
+
+G()
+
+=
+

+
+H
+

+
+-
+
+cH
+
+()
+
+ln
+
+H (/2) H (/2)
+
+-
+
+2 n ln
+
+H ().
+
+(5.38a) (5.38b)
+
+This solution was already found in [49] for the case  = 1 by solving directly Einstein� Maxwell equations, starting with a metric ansatz of the form (5.9). Our aim was to show that the same solution can be obtained by applying Demiaski's method to all the quantities, including the gauge field.
+The BL transformation is well defined only for c = 0, in which case
+
+g
+
+=
+
+r2
+
++
+
+a2 
+
++
+
+n2 ,
+
+The function f~ reads
+
+h
+
+=
+
+a ,
+
+ = r2 - 2mr + q2 - n2 + a2.
+
+(5.39)
+
+f~ =
+
+-
+
+2mr - q2 2
+
++
+
+ n(n - aH 2
+
+) ,
+
+2 = r2 + (n - a H )2
+
+(5.40)
+
+and this corresponds to the Kerr�Newman�NUT solution [73, sec. 2.2].
+
+5.4 Relaxing assumptions
+In the derivation of section 5.3.1 we have made two assumptions in order to recover the simplest case. The goal of this section is to show how these assumptions can be lifted, even if this does not lead to useful results: one cannot solve the equations in one case while in the other it is not clear how to recast the result in terms of a complex transformation.
+16In [78] Leigh et al. generalized Geroch's solution generating technique and also found that only the mass and the NUT charge appear when  = 0. We would like to thank D. Klemm for this remark.
+
+28
+
+5.4.1 Metric function F -dependence In section 5.3.1 we obtained the equation (5.27b)
+
+ F + K =  n, by requiring that the function (5.27d)
+
+2K = F + H F H
+
+(5.41)
+
+f~ =
+
+
+
+-
+
+2mr
+
+-
+
+q2 + 2F ( F r2 + F 2
+
++
+
+K)
+
+-
+
+ 3
+
+(r2
+
++
+
+F 2)
+
+-
+
+4 3
+
+F2
+
++
+
+8 3
+
+r2
+
+F4 + F2
+
+(5.42)
+
+depends on  only through F (). A more general assumption would be that F + K is some
+
+function  = (F )
+
+ F + K =  (F ).
+
+(5.43)
+
+First if F = 0 then K = 0 and the definition of K implies
+
+ = F = n.
+
+(5.44)
+
+The (t)- and ()-components give the equation
+
+4 F 2F = F F .
+
+(5.45)
+
+If  = 0 we find that
+
+F  = 0 =  = n
+
+(5.46)
+
+which reduces to the case studied in section 5.3.1, while if F = 0 this equation does not provide anything.
+On the other hand if F = 0 and  = 0 then the previous equation becomes
+
+F  = 4F 2
+
+(5.47)
+
+which can be integrated to
+
+(F
+
+)
+
+=
+
+n
+
++
+
+4 3
+
+F
+
+3
+
+(5.48)
+
+(notice that the limit   0 is coherent). Plugging this function into equation (5.43) one
+
+obtains
+
+F +K = 
+
+n
+
++
+
+4 3
+
+F 3
+
+(5.49)
+
+(remember that F = 0). This differential equation is non-linear and we were not able to find an analytical solution. Despite that this provides a generalization of the algorithm with non-constant F in the presence of a cosmological constant this is not sufficient for obtaining (a)dS�Kerr: the form of g given in (5.13) is not the required one.
+Nonetheless by inserting the expression of  in f~ we see that the last term is killed
+
+f~ =  -
+
+2mr - q2 + 2 n F r2 + F 2
+
+-
+
+ 3
+
+(r2 + F 2) -
+
+4 3
+
+F 2.
+
+One can recognize the function given by Demiaski [7] and may explain his error.
+
+(5.50)
+
+29
+
+5.4.2 Gauge field integration constant
+
+In section 5.3.1 we obtained a second integration constant  in the expression of the gauge
+
+field
+
+f~A
+
+=
+
+r2
+
+qr + F2
+
++
+
+
+
+r2 r2
+
+- +
+
+F2 F2.
+
+(5.51)
+
+One of the Maxwell equation gives  = 0 if F = 0, but otherwise no equation fixes its value. For this reason we focus on the case F = 0 or equivalently  = 0 through equation (5.27c).
+In this case the function f~ is modified to
+
+f~ =  -
+
+2mr - q2 + 2F ( F + K) + 42F 2 r2 + F 2
+
+-
+
+ 3
+
+(r2
+
++
+
+F
+
+2)
+
+-
+
+4 3
+
+F
+
+2
+
++
+
+8 3
+
+F4 r2 + F 2 .
+
+(5.52)
+
+Equation (5.27c) is modified but it is still solved by F = 0 and all other equations are left unchanged (in particular F + K is still given by the function (F ) (5.48)). For (F ) = n the configuration with  = 0 provides another solution when  = 0 but it is not clear how to get it from a complexification of the function.
+
+6 Examples
+In this section we list several examples that can be derived from the JN algorithm described in section 4. Other examples were described previously: Kerr�Newman in section 2.3.2, dyonic Kerr�Newman and Yang�Mills Kerr�Newman in section 3.1. For simplicity we will always consider the case  = 1 except when  = 0.
+The first two examples are the Kerr�Newmann�NUT solution (already derived by another path in section 5.3.4) and the charged (a)dS�BBMB�NUT solution in conformal gravity. We will also give examples from ungauged N = 2 supergravity coupled to nv = 0, 1, 3 vector multiplets (pure supergravity, T3 model and STU model): this theory is reviewed in appendix B.

+
+6.3 Ungauged N = 2 BPS solutions
+A BPS solution is a classical solution which preserves a part of the supersymmetry. The BPS equations are obtained by setting to zero the variations of the fermionic partners under a supersymmetric transformation. These equations are first order and under some conditions their solutions also solve the equations of motion.
+In [65, sec. 3.1] (see also [81, sec. 2.2] for a summary), Behrndt, L�st and Sabra obtained the most general stationary BPS solution for N = 2 ungauged supergravity. The metric for this class of solutions reads
+
+ds2 = f -1(dt +  d)2 + f d2,
+
+(6.18)
+
+with the 3-dimensional spatial metric given in spherical or spheroidal coordinates

+
+(6.19a) (6.19b)
+
+where i, j, k are flat spatial indices (which should not be confused with the indices of the
+scalar fields). The functions f and  depend on r and  only. Then the solution is entirely given in terms of two sets of (real) harmonic functions18

+Starting from the metric (6.18) in spherical coordinates with  = 0, one can use the JN algorithm of section 4 with

+Then one needs only to find the complexification of f and to check that it gives the
+correct , as would be found from the equations (6.20). However it appears that one cannot
+complexify directly f since it should be viewed as a composite object made of complex functions. Therefore one needs to complexify first the harmonic functions H and H (or equivalently X), and then to reconstruct the other quantities. Nonetheless, equations
+(6.20) ensure that finding the correct harmonic functions gives a solution, thus it is not
+necessary to check these equations for all the other quantities. In the next subsections we provide two examples,19 one for pure supergravity as an
+appetizer, and then one with nv = 3 multiplets (STU model).
+
+6.3.1 Pure supergravity
+
+As a first example we consider pure (or minimal) supergravity, i.e. nv = 0 [65, sec. 4.2].
+
+The prepotential reads
+
+F
+
+=
+
+i -4
+
+(X 0 )2 .
+
+(6.23)
+

+
+(6.24)
+
+while the K�hler potential is given by
+
+f = e-K = X0X� 0.

+18We omit the tilde that is present in [65] to avoid the confusion with the quantities that are transformed by the JNA. No confusion is possible since the index position will always indicate which function we are using.
+19They correspond to singular solutions, but we are not concerned with regularity here.

+
+Note that it gives
+

+1+ m r
+
+2 n2 + r2 .
+
+(6.31)
+
+It is slightly puzzling that the above rule should be used instead of the two others in (4.14). One possible explanation is the following: in the seed solution shift the radial coordinate such that r = R - m and apply the JN transformation in this coordinate system. It is clear that every function of r is left unchanged while the tensor structure transforms identically since dr = dR. After the transformation one can undo the coordinate transformation. As we mentioned earlier the algorithm is very sensible to the coordinate system and to the parametrization (but it is still not clear why the R-coordinate is the natural one). This kind of difficulty will reappear in the SWIP solution (section 6.5).
+
+6.3.2 STU model We now consider the STU model nv = 3 with prepotential [65, sec. 3]
+
+F
+
+=
+
+X1X2X3 - X0 .
+
+(6.32)
+
+The expressions for the K�hler potential and the scalar fields in terms of the harmonic functions are complicated and will not be needed (see [65, sec. 3] for the expressions). Various choices for the functions will give different solutions.
+A class of static black hole-like solutions are given by the harmonic functions [65, sec. 4.4]

+
+Hi = hi + pi , r

+

+
+(6.33)
+
+H0 = H0 + i H0, Hi = Hi + i Hi.
+
+(6.34)
+
+Then the rule for complex function leads to

+
+This set of functions corresponds to the stationary solution of [65, sec. 4.4] where the magnetic and electric dipole momenta are not independent parameters but obtained from the magnetic and electric charges instead.
+
+6.4 Non-extremal rotating solution in T 3 model
+The T 3 model under consideration corresponds to Einstein�Maxwell gravity coupled to an axion  and a dilaton  (with specific coupling constants) and the action is given by (6.50) with M = 1. This model can be embedded in N = 2 ungauged supergravity with nv = 1, equal gauge fields A  A0 = A1 and prepotential20
+
+F = -i X0X1,
+
+(6.37)
+
+The dilaton and the axion corresponds to the complex scalar field

+
+(6.49)
+
+This reproduces Sen's solution and it completes the computation from [26] which could

+
+As discussed in the previous section, the transformation of scalar fields is different depending on one is turning on a NUT charge or an angular momentum. For this reason, starting from the case a = n = 0, one needs to perform the two successive transformations
+
+u = u - 2in ln sin , r = r + in, m = m + in, u = u + ia cos , r = r - ia cos ,
+
+(6.60a) (6.60b)
+
+the order being irrelevant (for definiteness we choose to add the NUT charge first), the
+
+reason being that the transformations of the functions are different in both cases (as in
+
+section 6.3.1). As explained in appendix C.1, group properties of the JN algorithm ensure
+
+that the metric will be transformed as if only one transformation was performed. Then the
+
+metric and the gauge fields are directly obtained, which ensures that the general form of the
+
+solution (6.52) is correct. For that one needs to shift r2 by r02 in order to bring the metric (6.54) to the form (6.19). This modifies the function but one does not need this fact to obtain
+
+the general form. Then one can shift by -r02 before dealing with the complexification of the functions. See [66, p. 17] and section 6.3.1 for discussions about the changes of coordinates.
+
+Since all the functions and the parameters depend only on M, H1 and H2, it is sufficient to
+
+explain their complexification.
+
+The function W is transformed as a real function. On the other hand H1 and H2 are
+
+complex harmonic functions and should be transformed accordingly. For the NUT charge
+
+one should use the rule
+
+r - Re r.
+
+(6.61)
+
+Then one can perform the second transformation (6.60b) in order to add the angular mo-
+
+mentum by applying the usual rules (4.14). On can see that it yields the correct result.
+
+Finally let's note that it seems possible to also start from pi = 0 and to turn them on
+
+using the transformation
+
+qi = q i = qi + ipi,
+
+(6.62)
+
+using different rules for complexifying the various terms (depending whether one is dealing with a real or a complex function/parameter).

+6.6 Gauged N = 2 non-extremal solution
+The simplest deformation of N = 2 supergravity with nv vector multiplets consists in the so-called Fayet�Iliopoulos (FI) gauging. It amounts to gauging (nv + 1) times the diagonal U(1) group of the SU(2) part of the R-symmetry group (automorphism of the supersymmetry algebra). The potential can be entirely written in terms of the quantities defined in appendix B and of the (nv + 1) coupling constants gI , where I = 0, . . . , nv.
+We consider the model with prepotential (see also section 6.4)

+It is straightforward to check that the form of the metric and gauge fields are correctly reproduced by the algorithm given in section 4 for the tensor structure. In total this reproduces the eq. (4.22) and formulas below in [70] with j = 0.
+An important thing that we learn here is that the mass parameter needs to be transformed as if it was not composed of other parameters.
+
+7 Five dimensional algorithm
+While in four dimensions we have at our disposal many theorems on the classification of solutions, this is not the case for higher dimensions and the bestiary for solutions is much wider and less understood [18, 84]. Rotating solutions in higher dimensions are characterized by several angular momenta. Important solutions have not yet been discovered, even in the simplest theories such as the charged rotating black holes with several angular momenta in pure Einstein�Maxwell gravity.
+Generalizing the JN algorithm in other dimensions is challenging and only small steps have been taken in this direction. For instance Xu recovered Myers�Perry solution with one angular momentum [68] from the Schwarzschild�Tangherlini solution [23] (see also [85]), and Kim showed how the rotating BTZ black hole [86] can be obtained from its static limit [24, 25]. One of the difficulty is to be able to perform several successive transformations in order to introduce all the allowed angular momenta.
+In this section we report the successful generalization of the JN algorithm to five dimensions where we recover two examples [58]: the complete Myers�Perry black hole [68] and the Breckenridge�Myers�Peet�Vafa (BMPV) extremal black hole [69]. We give of proposal for extending this method to higher dimensions in the next section.
+It appears that the two angular momenta can be added one after the other by performing two successive transformations, each using different rules for complexifying the functions. These rules can be understood as transforming only the functions that appear in the part of the metric which describes the rotation plane associated to the angular momentum. Our method makes use of the Giampieri prescription and we did not succeed in expressing it in terms of the Janis�Newman prescription.
+
+39
+
+A major application of our work would be to find the charged solution with two angular momenta of the 5d Einstein�Maxwell gravity. This problem is highly non-trivial and there is few chances that this technique would work directly [85], but one can imagine that a generalization of Demiaski's approach [7] (see section 5) could lead to new interesting solutions in five dimensions. An intermediate step is represented by the CCLP metric [87] which is a solution of the Einstein�Maxwell theory with a Chern�Simons term, but it cannot be derived from the JN algorithm and we give some intuition about this fact in the last subsection.
+Finally one could seek for an extension of the algorithm to the derivation of black rings [84, 88]. Similarly it may be possible that such techniques could be used in d = 4 to derive multicentre solutions (for instance one could imagine adding rotation to both centres successively, changing coordinate system in-between to place the origin of the coordinates at each centre).
+
+7.1 Myers�Perry black hole
+In this section we show how to recover the Myers�Perry black hole in five dimensions through the Giampieri prescription. This is a solution of 5-dimensional pure Einstein theory which possesses two angular momenta and it generalizes the Kerr black hole. The importance of this solution lies in the fact that it can be constructed in any dimension.
+The seed metric is given by the five-dimensional Schwarzschild�Tangherlini metric
+
+ds2 = -f (r) dt2 + f (r)-1 dr2 + r2 d23
+
+(7.1)
+
+where d23 is the metric on S3, which can be expressed in Hopf coordinates (see ap-
+
+pendix A.3.2)
+
+d23 = d2 + sin2  d2 + cos2  d2,
+
+(7.2)
+
+and the function f (r) is given by
+
+f (r)
+
+=
+
+1
+
+-
+
+m r2 .
+
+(7.3)
+
+An important feature of the JN algorithm is the fact that a given set of transformations in the (r, )-plane generates rotation in the latter. Generating several angular momenta in different 2-planes would then require successive applications of the JN algorithm on different hypersurfaces. In order to do so, one has to identify what are the 2-planes which will be submitted to the algorithm. In five dimensions, the two different planes that can be made rotating are the planes (r, ) and (r, ). We claim that it is necessary to dissociate the radii of these 2-planes in order to apply separately the JN algorithm on each plane and hence to generate two distinct angular momenta. In order to dissociate the parts of the metric that correspond to the rotating and non-rotating 2-planes, one can protect the function r2 to be transformed under complex transformations in the part of the metric defining the plane which will stay static. We thus introduce the function
+
+R(r) = r
+
+(7.4)
+
+such that the metric in null coordinates reads
+
+ds2 = -du (du + 2dr) + (1 - f ) du2 + r2(d2 + sin2  d2) + R2 cos2  d2.
+
+(7.5)
+
+The first transformation � hence concerning the (r, )-plane � is
+
+u = u + ia cos 1, i d1 = sin 1 d,
+du = du - a sin2  d,
+
+r = r - ia cos 1, with 1 = ,
+dr = dr + a sin2  d,
+
+(7.6)
+
+40
+
+and f is replaced by f~{1} = f~{1}(r, ). Indeed one needs to keep track of the order of the
+transformation, since the function f will be complexified twice consecutively. On the other hand R(r) = Re(r) is transformed23 into R = r and one finds (omitting the primes)
+
+ds2 = -du2 - 2 dudr + 1 - f~{1} (du - a sin2  d)2 + 2a sin2  drd + (r2 + a2 cos2 )d2 + (r2 + a2) sin2  d2 + r2 cos2  d2.
+
+(7.7)
+
+The function f~{1} is
+
+f~{1}
+
+=1-
+
+m |r|2
+
+=
+
+1-
+
+m r2 + a2 cos2  .
+
+There is a cancellation between the (u, r) and the (, ) parts of the metric
+
+(7.8)
+
+ds2u,r = (1 - f~{1}) (du - a sin2  d)2 - du(du + 2dr) + 2a sin2  drd + a2 sin4  d2,
+
+(7.9a)
+
+ds2, = (r2 + a2 cos2 )d2 + r2 + a2(1 - sin2 ) sin2  d2.
+
+(7.9b)
+
+In addition to the terms present in (7.5) one obtains new components corresponding to
+the rotation of the first plane (r, ). Since the structure is very similar one can perform a transformation24 in the second plane (r, )
+
+u = u + ib sin 2, i d2 = - cos 2 d, du = du - b cos2  d,
+
+r = r - ib sin 2, with 2 = ,
+dr = dr + b cos2  d,
+
+(7.10)
+
+can be applied directly to the metric
+ds2 = -du2 - 2 dudr + 1 - f~{1} (du - a sin2  d)2 + 2a sin2  dRd + 2d2 + (R2 + a2) sin2  d2 + r2 cos2  d2
+
+(7.11)
+
+where we introduced once again the function R(r) = Re(r) to protect the geometry of the first plane to be transformed under complex transformations.
+The final result (using again R = r and omitting the primes) becomes
+
+ds2 = -du2 - 2 dudr + 1 - f~{1,2} (du - a sin2  d - b cos2  d)2 + 2a sin2  drd + 2b cos2  drd + 2d2 + (r2 + a2) sin2  d2 + (r2 + b2) cos2  d2
+
+(7.12)
+
+where
+
+2 = r2 + a2 cos2  + b2 sin2 .
+
+Furthermore, the function f~{1} has been complexified as
+
+f~{1,2}

+
+(7.13) (7.14)
+
+The metric can then be transformed into the Boyer�Lindquist (BL) using
+
+du = dt - g(r) dr, d = d - h(r) dr, d = d - h(r) dr.
+
+(7.15)
+
+23Note that as a function this corresponds to the rule (4.14a) but we will see below that R is better interpreted as a coordinate since below it will appear as dR.
+24The easiest justification for choosing the sinus here is by looking at the transformation in terms of direction cosines, see section 8.2.3. Otherwise this term can be guessed by looking at Myers�Perry nondiagonal terms.

+
+7.2 BMPV black hole
+
+7.2.1 Few properties and seed metric
+
+In this section we focus on another example in five dimensions, which is the BMPV black hole [69, 89]. This solution possesses many interesting properties, in particular it can be proven that it is the only asymptotically flat rotating BPS black hole in five dimensions with the corresponding near-horizon geometry [84, sec. 7.2.2, 8.5, 90].26 It is interesting to notice that even if this extremal solution is a slowly rotating metric, it is an exact solution (whereas Einstein equations need to be truncated for consistency of usual slow rotation).
+For a rotating black hole the BPS and extremal limits do not coincide [84, sec. 7.2, 89, sec. 1]: the first implies that the mass is related to the electric charge,27 while extremality28 implies that one linear combination of the angular momenta vanishes, and for this reason we set a = b from the beginning.29 Thus two independent parameters are left and are taken to be the mass and one angular momentum.
+In the non-rotating limit BMPV black hole reduces to the charged extremal Schwarzschild�Tangherlini (with equal mass and charge) written in isotropic coordinates. For nonrotating black hole the extremal and BPS limit are equivalent.
+Both the charged extremal Schwarzschild�Tangherlini and BMPV black holes are solutions of minimal (N = 2) d = 5 supergravity (Einstein�Maxwell plus Chern�Simons) whose bosonic action is [89, sec. 1, 91, sec. 2, 92, sec. 2]

+
+where supersymmetry imposes  = 1. Since extremal limits are different for static and rotating black holes we can guess that
+the black hole obtained from the algorithm will not be a solution of the equations of motion and that it will be necessary to take some limit.
+The charged extremal Schwarzschild�Tangherlini black hole is taken as a seed metric [92, sec. 3.2, 93, sec. 4, 94, sec. 1.3.1]
+
+ds2 = -H-2 dt2 + H (dr2 + r2 d23)
+
+(7.20)
+
+25See (8.17) for a definition of  in terms of f~. 26Other possible near-horizon geometries are S1 � S2 (for black rings) and T 3, even if the latter does not seem really physical. BMPV horizon corresponds tothe squashed S3. 27It is a consequence from the BPS bound m  3/2 |q|. 28Regularity is given by a bound, which is saturated for extremal black holes. 29If we had kept a = b we would have discovered later that one cannot transform the metric to Boyer�
+Lindquist coordinates without setting a = b.
+

+
+m r2 dt = (H - 1) dt.
+
+(7.22)
+
+In the next subsections we apply successively the transformations (7.6) and (7.10) with a = b in the case  = 1.
+
+7.2.2 Transforming the metric The transformation to (u, r) coordinates of the seed metric (7.20)
+dt = du + H3/2 dr
+
+(7.23)
+
+gives
+
+ds2 = -H-2 du2 - 2H-1/2 dudr + Hr2 d23 = -H-2 du - 2H3/2 dr du + Hr2 d23.
+
+(7.24a) (7.24b)
+
+For transforming the above metric one should follow the recipe of the previous section: the transformations (7.6)
+
+u = u + ia cos , du = du - a sin2  d,
+
+(7.25)
+
+and (7.10)
+
+u = u + ia sin , du = du - a cos2  d
+
+(7.26)
+
+are performed one after another, transforming each time only the terms that pertain to the corresponding rotation plane.30 In order to preserve the isotropic form of the metric the function H is complexified everywhere (even when it multiplies terms that belong to the other plane).
+Since the procedure is exactly similar to the Myers�Perry case we give only the final result in (u, r) coordinates
+
+ds2 = - H~ -2 du - a(1 - H~ 3/2)(sin2  d + cos2  d) 2
+
+- 2H~ -1/2 du - a(1 - H~ 3/2) (sin2  d + cos2  d) dr + 2aH~ (sin2  d + cos2  d) dr - 2a2H~ cos2  sin2  dd
+
+(7.27)
+
++ H~ (r2 + a2)(d2 + sin2  d2 + cos2  d2) + a2(sin2  d + cos2  d)2 .
+

+(7.28)

+du = dt - g(r) dr, d = d - h(r) dr,
+30For another approach see section 7.3.
+
+d = d - h(r) dr
+
+(7.29)
+

+
+is ill-defined because the functions depend on . The way out is to take the extremal limit alluded above.

+g(r) = H(r)3/2, h(r) = h(r) = 0

+
+(7.34)
+
+One can recognize the BMPV solution [69, p. 4, 89, p. 16]. The fact that this solution has only one rotation parameter can be seen more easily in Euler angle coordinates [89, sec. 3, 95, sec. 2] or by looking at the conserved charges in the - and -planes [69, sec. 3].
+
+7.2.3 Transforming the Maxwell potential
+
+The seed gauge field (7.22) in the (u, r) coordinates is

+
+A=
+
+3 2
+
+(H
+
+-
+
+1)
+
+du,
+
+(7.35)
+
+since the Ar(r) component can be removed by a gauge transformation. One can apply the two JN transformations (7.6) and (7.10) with b = a to obtain
+
+
+
+A=
+
+3 2
+
+(H~
+
+-
+
+1)
+
+du - a (sin2  d + cos2  d)
+
+.
+
+(7.36)
+
+Then going into BL coordinates with (7.15) and (7.33) provides
+
+
+
+A=
+
+3 2
+
+(H~
+
+-
+
+1)
+
+dt - a (sin2  d + cos2  d)
+
++ Ar(r) dr.
+
+(7.37)
+
+Again Ar depends only on r and can be removed by a gauge transformation. Applying the extremal limit (7.30) finally gives
+
+
+
+A=
+
+3m 2 r2
+
+dt - a (sin2  d + cos2  d) ,
+
+(7.38)
+
+44
+
+which is again the result presented in [69, p. 5]. Despite the fact that the seed metric (7.20) together with the gauge field (7.22) solves
+the equations of motion for any value of , the resulting rotating metric solves the equations only for  = 1 (see [89, sec. 7] for a discussion). An explanation in this reduction can be found in the limit (7.30) that was needed for transforming the metric to Boyer�Lindquist coordinates and which gives a supersymmetric black hole � which necessarily has  = 1.
+
+7.3 Another approach to BMPV
+
+In section 7.2 we applied the same recipe given in section 7.1 which, according to our claim, is the standard procedure in five dimensions.
+There is another way to derive BMPV black hole. Indeed, by considering that terms quadratic in the angular momentum do not survive in the extremal limit, they can be added to the metric without modifying the final result. Hence we can decide to transform all the terms of the metric31 since the additional terms will be subleading. As a result the BL transformation is directly well defined and overall formulas are simpler, but we need to take the extremal limit before the end (this could be done either in (u, r) or (t, r) coordinates). This section shows that both approaches give the same result.
+Applying the two transformations
+
+u = u + ia cos , u = u + ia sin ,
+
+du = du - a sin2  d, du = du - a cos2  d
+
+(7.39a) (7.39b)
+
+successively on all the terms one obtains the metric
+
+ds2 = - H~ -2 du - a(1 - H~ 3/2)(sin2  d + cos2  d) 2
+
+- 2H~ -1/2 du - a(sin2  d + cos2  d) dr
+
+(7.40)
+
++ H~ (r2 + a2)(d2 + sin2  d2 + cos2  d2) + a2(sin2  d + cos2  d)2 ,
+
+where again H~ is given by (7.28)
+
+H~
+
+=
+
+1
+
++
+
+r2
+
+m +
+
+a2
+
+.
+
+(7.41)
+
+Only one term is different when comparing with (7.27). The BL transformation (7.15) is well-defined and the corresponding functions are
+
+g(r)
+
+=
+
+a2
+
++
+
+(r2 + a2)H~ (r)
+
+r2 + 2a2
+
+,
+
+a h(r) = h(r) = r2 + 2a2
+
+(7.42)
+
+which do not depend on . They lead to the metric
+
+ds2 = - H~ -2 dt - a(1 - H~ 3/2)(sin2  d + cos2  d) 2
+
++ H~ (r2 + a2)
+
+dr2 r2 + 2a2
+
++ d2
+
++ sin2  d2
+
++ cos2  d2
+
+(7.43)
+
++ a2(sin2  d + cos2  d)2 .
+
+At this point it is straightforward to check that this solution does not satisfy Einstein equations and we need to take the extremal limit (7.30)
+
+a, m - 0,
+
+imposing
+
+m a2
+
+=
+
+cst
+
+(7.44)
+
+31In opposition to our initial recipe, but this is done in a controlled way.
+
+45
+
+in order to get the BMPV solution (7.34)
+
+ds2 = - H~ -2

+
+d)
+
+2
+
++ H~ dr2 + r2 d2 + sin2  d2 + cos2  d2 .
+
+(7.45)
+
+It is surprising that the BL transformation is simpler in this case. Another point that is worth stressing is that we did not need to take the extremal limit at an intermediate stage, whereas in section 7.2 we had to in order to get a well-defined BL transformation.
+
+7.4 CCLP black hole
+
+The CCLP black hole [87] (see also [91, sec. 2]) corresponds to the non-extremal generalization of the BMPV solution and it possesses four independent charges: two angular momenta a and b, an electric charge q and the mass m. It is a solution of d = 5 minimal supergravity (7.19).

+
+r =  + 2abq + q2 - 2mr2.
+
+(7.47a) (7.47b) (7.47c)
+
+Yet, using our prescription, it appears that the metric of this black hole cannot entirely be recovered. Indeed while the gauge field can be found straightforwardly, all the terms of the metric but one are generated by our algorithm. The missing term (corresponding to the last one in (7.46a)) is proportional to the electric charge and the current prescription cannot generate it since the latter can only appear in f~ (or in the gauge field); moreover the algorithm cannot explain the first term in parenthesis since a and b always appear with d and d respectively.
+This issue may be related to the fact that the CCLP solution cannot be written as a Kerr�Schild metric but rather as an extended Kerr�Schild one [96�98], which includes an additional term proportional to a spacelike vector. It appears that the missing term corresponds precisely to this additional term in the extended Kerr�Schild metric and it is well-known that the JN algorithm works mostly for Kerr�Schild metrics. Moreover the  computed from (8.17) depends on  and the BL transformation would not be well-defined if the additional term is not present to modify  to r.
+
+8 Algorithm in any dimension
+Following the same prescription in dimensions higher than five does not lead as nicely to the exact Myers�Perry solution. Indeed we show in this section that, while the transformation of
+
+46
+
+the metric can be done along the same line, the � major � obstacle comes from the function f that cannot be transformed as expected. Finding the correct complexification seems very challenging and it may be necessary to use a different complex coordinate transformation in order to perform a completely general transformation in any dimension. It might be possible to gain insight into this problem by computing the transformation within the framework of the tetrad formalism. One may think that a possible solution would be to replace complex numbers by quaternions, assigning one angular momentum to each complex direction but it is straightforward to check that this approach is not working.
+The key element to perform the algorithm on the metric is to parametrize the metric on the sphere by direction cosines since these coordinates are totally symmetric under permutation of angular momenta (at the opposite of the spherical coordinates). We are able to derive the general form of a rotating metric with the maximal number of angular momenta it can have in d dimensions, but we are not able to apply this result to any specific example for d  6, except if all momenta but one are vanishing. Nonetheless this provides a unified view of the JN algorithm in any d  3. We conclude this section by few examples, including the singly-rotating Myers�Perry solution in any dimension and the rotating BTZ black hole.
+It would be very desirable to derive the general d-dimensional Myers�Perry solution [68], or at least to understand why only the metric can be found, and not the function inside.
+
+8.1 Metric transformation
+We consider the JN algorithm applied to a general static d-dimension metric and show how the tensor structure can be transformed. In the following the dimension is taken to be odd in order to simplify the computations but the final result holds also for d even.
+
+8.1.1 Seed metric and discussion
+
+Consider the d-dimensional static metric (notations are defined in appendix A.1)
+
+ds2 = -f dt2 + f -1 dr2 + r2 d2d-2
+
+where d2d-2 is the metric on Sd-2
+
+n
+
+d2d-2 = dd-2 + sin2 d-2 d2d-3 =
+
+d�2i + �2i d2i ).
+
+i=1
+
+The number n = (d - 1)/2 counts the independent 2-spheres. In Eddington�Finkelstein coordinates the metric reads
+
+(8.1) (8.2)
+
+ds2 = (1 - f ) du2 - du (du + 2dr) + r2
+
+d�2i + �2i d2i .
+
+i
+
+(8.3)
+
+The metric looks like a 2-dimensional space (t, r) with a certain number of additional 2-spheres (�i, i) which are independent from one another. Then we can consider only the piece (u, r, �i, i) (for fixed i) which will transform like a 4-dimensional spacetime, while the other part of the metric (�j, j) for all j = i will be unchanged. After the first transformation we can move to another 2-sphere. We can thus imagine to put in rotation only one of these spheres. Then we will apply again and again the algorithm until all the spheres have angular momentum: the whole complexification will thus be a n-steps process. Moreover if these 2spheres are taken to be independent this implies that we should not complexify the functions that are not associated with the plane we are putting in rotation.
+To match these demands the metric is rewritten as
+
+ds2 = (1 - f ) du2 - du (du + 2dri1 ) + ri21 (d�2i1 + �2i1 d2i1 ) +
+
+ri21 d�2i + R2�2i d2i . (8.4)
+
+i=i1
+
+47
+
+where we introduced the following two functions of r
+
+ri1 (r) = r, R(r) = r.
+
+(8.5)
+
+This allows to choose different complexifications for the different terms in the metric. It may be surprising to note that the factors in front of d�2i have been chosen to be ri21 and not R2, but the reason is that the �i are all linked by the constraint
+
+�2i = 1
+i
+
+(8.6)
+
+and the transformation of one i1-th 2-sphere will change the corresponding �i1 , but also all the others, as it is clear from the formula (A.14) with all the ai vanishing but one (this can also be observed in 5d where both �i are gathered into ).
+
+8.1.2 First transformation The transformation is chosen to be
+
+ri1 = ri1 - i ai1 1 - �2i1 ,
+
+u = u + i ai1 1 - �2i1
+
+(8.7a)
+
+which, together with the ansatz
+
+i d�i1 = �i1 di1 , 1 - �2i1
+
+(8.7b)
+
+gives the differentials
+
+dri1 = dri1 + ai1 �2i1 di1 ,
+
+du = du - ai1 �2i1 di1 .
+
+(8.7c)
+
+It is easy to check that this transformation reproduces the one given in four and five dimensions. The complexified version of f is written as f~{i1}: we need to keep track of the order in which we gave angular momentum since the function f~ will be transformed at each step.
+We consider separately the transformation of the (u, r) and {�i, i} parts. Inserting the transformations (8.7) in (8.3) results in
+
+ds2u,r = (1 - f~{i1})
+
+du - ai1 �2i1 di1
+
+2
+- du (du + 2dri1 ) + 2ai1 �2i1 dri1 di1 + a2i1 �4i1 d2i1 ,
+
+ds2�, = ri21 + a2i1 (d�2i1 + �2i1 d2i1 ) +
+
+ri21 d�2i + R2�2i d2i - a2i1 �4i1 d2i1
+
+i=i1
+
++ a2i1 - �2i1 d�2i1 + (1 - �2i1 )
+
+d�2i .
+
+i=i1
+
+The term in the last bracket vanishes as can be seen by using the differential of the
+
+constraint
+
+�2i = 1 = �id�i = 0.
+
+(8.9)
+
+i
+
+i
+
+Since this step is very important and non-trivial we expose the details
+
+
+

+
+[� � � ] = �2i1 d�2i1 - (1 - �2i1 )
+
+d�2i =  �id�i -
+
+�2j
+
+d�2i
+
+i=i1
+
+i=i1
+
+j=i1 i=i1

+
+�i�j d�id�j - �2j d�2i =
+
+�j �id�j - �j d�i d�i = 0
+
+i,j=i1
+
+i,j=i1
+

+
+by antisymmetry. Setting ri1 = R = r one obtains the metric
+
+ds2 = (1 - f~{i1})
+
+du - ai1 �2i1 di1
+
+2
+- du (du + 2dr) + 2ai1 �2i1 drdi1
+
++ r2 + a2i1 (d�2i1 + �2i1 d2i1 ) +
+
+r2 d�2i + �2i d2i .
+
+i=i1
+
+(8.10)
+
+It corresponds to Myers�Perry metric in d dimensions with one non-vanishing angular momentum. We recover the same structure as in (8.4) with some extra terms that are specific to the i1-th 2-sphere.
+
+8.1.3 Iteration and final result
+
+We should now split again r in functions (ri2 , R). Very similarly to the first time we have
+
+ds2 = (1 - f~{i1})
+
+du - ai1 �2i1 di1
+
+2
+- du (du + 2dri2 ) + 2ai1 �2i1 dRdi1
+
++ ri22 + a2i1 d�2i1 + R2 + a2i1 �2i1 d2i1 + ri22 (d�2i2 + �2i2 d2i2 )
+
++
+
+ri22 d�2i + R2�2i d2i .
+
+i=i1 ,i2
+
+(8.11)
+
+We can now complexify as
+
+ri2 = ri2 - iai2 1 - �2i2 ,
+
+u = u + i ai1 1 - �2i2 .
+
+(8.12)
+
+The steps are exactly the same as before, except that we have some inert terms. The complexified functions is now f~{i1,i2}.
+Repeating the procedure n times we arrive at
+
+ds2 = - du2 - 2dudr + (r2 + a2i )(d�2i + �2i d2i ) - 2 ai�2i drdi
+
+i
+
+i
+
+2
+
++ 1 - f~{i1,...,in} du +
+
+ai�2i di .
+
+i
+
+(8.13)
+
+One recognizes the general form of the d-dimensional metric with n angular momenta [68]. Let's quote the metric in Boyer�Lindquist coordinates (omitting the indices on f~) [68]

+
+ds2 = -dt2 + (1 - f~) dt -

+(r2 + a2i ) d�2i + �2i d2i

+which is obtained from the transformation

+
+Before ending this section, we comment the case of even dimensions: the term  r2d2 is complexified as  ri21 d2, since it contributes to the sum
+
+�2i + 2 = 1.
+i
+
+(8.18)
+
+This can be seen more clearly by defining �n+1 =  (we can also define n+1 = 0), in which case the index i runs from 1 to n + , and all the previous computations are still valid.
+
+8.2 Examples in various dimensions
+8.2.1 Flat space
+A first and trivial example is to take f = 1. In this case one recovers Minkowski metric in spheroidal coordinates with direction cosines (appendix A.1.4)
+
+ds2 = -dt2 + F dr�2 + (r�2 + a2i ) d��2i + ��2i d�2i +  r2d2.
+i
+
+(8.19)
+
+In this case the JN algorithm is equivalent to a (true) change of coordinates and there is no intrinsic rotation. The presence of a non-trivial function f then deforms the algorithm.
+
+8.2.2 Myers�Perry black hole with one angular momentum
+The derivation of the Myers�Perry metric with one non-vanishing angular momentum has been found by Xu [23].
+The transformation is taken to be in the first plane
+
+r = r - ia 1 - �2
+
+(8.20)
+
+where �  �1. The transformation to the mixed spherical�spheroidal system (appendix A.1.5
+
+is obtained by setting
+
+� = sin , 1 = .
+
+(8.21)
+
+In these coordinates the transformation reads
+
+r = r - ia cos .
+
+(8.22)
+
+We will use the quantity 2 = r2 + a2(1 - �2) = r2 + a2 cos2 .
+
+(8.23)
+
+The Schwarzschild�Tangherlini metric is [99]
+
+ds2 = -f dt2 + f -1 dr2 + r2 d2d-2, Applying the previous transformation results in
+
+f
+
+=
+

+
+-
+
+m rd-3 .
+
+ds2 = (1 - f~)

+
++ r2 + a2 (d�2 + �2d2) + r2 d�2i + �2i d2i .
+i=1
+
+where f has been complexified as
+
+f~
+

+

+
+-
+
+m 2rd-5
+
+.
+
+(8.24) (8.25) (8.26)

+

+=
+
+r2
+
++ a2
+
++
+
+agt.
+
+(8.28)
+
+This last expression explains why the transformation is straightforward with one angular momentum: the transformation is exactly the one for d = 4 and the extraneous dimensions are just spectators.
+We have not been able to generalize this result for several non-vanishing momenta for d  6, even for the case with equal momenta .
+
+8.2.3 Five-dimensional Myers�Perry
+
+We take a new look at the five-dimensional Myers�Perry solution in order to derive it in
+
+spheroidal coordinates because it is instructive.
+
+The function
+
+1
+
+-
+
+f
+
+=
+
+m r2
+
+(8.29)
+
+is first complexified as
+
+1 - f~{1}
+
+=
+
+m |r1|2
+
+=
+
+r2
+
+m + a2(1 - �2)
+
+(8.30)
+
+and then as
+
+1
+
+- f~{1,2}
+
+=
+
+|r2|2
+
++
+
+m a2(1 -
+
+�2)
+
+=
+
+r2
+
+m + a2(1 - �2) +
+
+b2(1 - 2) .
+
+(8.31)
+
+after the two transformations
+
+r1 = r1 - ia 1 - �2, r2 = r2 - ib 1 - 2.
+
+(8.32)
+
+For � = sin  and  = cos  one recovers the transformations from sections 7.1 and 7.2. Let's denote the denominator by 2 and compute
+
+2 r2
+
+=
+
+r2
+
++ a2(1 - �2) + b2(1 - 2)
+
+=
+
+(�2
+
++ 2)r2
+
++ 2a2
+
++ �2b2
+
+= �2(r2 + b2) + 2(r2 + a2) = (r2 + b2)(r2 + a2)
+
+�2 r2 + a2
+
++
+
+2 r2 + b2
+
+.
+
+and thus Plugging this into f~{1,2} we have [68]
+
+r22 = F.

+
+As another application we show how to derive the d = 3 rotating BTZ black hole from its static version [86]

+(8.35)
+
+In three dimensions the metric on S1 in spherical coordinates is given by

+d21 = d2.
+
+(8.36)
+
+Introducing the coordinate � we can write it in oblate spheroidal coordinates
+

+
+(8.37)

+�2 = 1.
+
+(8.38)
+
+u = u + ia 1 - �2, r = r - ia 1 - �2

+(8.39)
+
+gives from (8.13)

+
+This is the solution given in [86] with J = -2a. It has already been showed by Kim that the rotating BTZ black hole can be derived
+
+through the JN algorithm in a different settings [24, 25]: he views the d = 3 solution as the
+
+slice  = /2 of the d = 4 solution. Obviously this is equivalent to our approach: we have seen that � = sin  in d = 4 (appendix A.2), and the constraint �2 = 1 is solved by  = /2.
+
+Nonetheless our approach is more direct since the result just follows from a suitable choice

This has been already remarked using another technique in [103, app. B]. It may be possible that a more general ansatz is necessary, following section 4 but in d = 3.

+A Coordinate systems
+This appendix is partly based on [68, 99, 104]. We present formulas for any dimension before summarizing them for 4 and 5 dimensions.
+
+A.1 d-dimensional
+
+Let's consider d = N + 1 dimensional Minkowski space whose metric is denoted by
+
+ds2 = � dx�dx , � = 0, . . . , N.
+
+(A.1)
+
+In all the following coordinates systems the time direction can separated from the spatial (positive definite) metric as
+
+ds2 = -dt2 + d2, d2 = ab dxadxb, a = 1, . . . , N,
+where x0 = t. One defines by n the number of independent 2-planes of rotation
+
+(A.2)
+
+n=
+
+N 2
+
+(A.3)
+
+53
+
+such that
+
+d +  = 2n + 2, N +  = 2n + 1,  = 1 - 
+
+where

+
+d even (or N odd) d odd (or N even),
+
+and conversely for  .
+
+(A.4) (A.5)
+
+A.1.1 Cartesian system The usual Cartesian metric is
+d2 = abdxadxb = dxadxa = dx2.
+
+(A.6)
+
+A.1.2 Spherical
+
+Introducing a radial coordinate r, the flat space metric can be written as a (N - 1)-sphere
+
+of radius r
+
+d2 = dr2 + r2d2N-1.
+
+(A.7)
+
+The term d2N-1 corresponds the metric on the unit (N - 1)-sphere SN-1, which is parametrized by (N - 1) angles i and is defined recursively as
+
+d2N-1 = dN2 -1 + sin2 N-1 d2N-2.
+
+(A.8)
+
+This surface can be embedded in N -dimensional flat space with coordinates Xa con-
+
+strained by
+
+XaXa = 1.
+
+(A.9)
+
+A.1.3 Spherical with direction cosines
+In d-dimensions there are n orthogonal 2-planes,32 thus we can pair 2n of the embedding coordinates Xa (A.9) as (Xi, Yi) which are parametrized as
+
+Xi + iYi = �ieii , i = 1, . . . n.
+
+(A.10)
+
+For d even there is an extra unpaired coordinate that is taken to be
+
+XN = .
+
+(A.11)
+
+Each pair parametrizes a 2-sphere of radius �i. The �i are called the direction cosines
+
+and satisfy
+
+�2i +  2 = 1
+
+(A.12)
+
+i
+
+since there is one superfluous coordinate from the embedding. Finally the metric is
+
+d2N-1 =
+
+d�2i + �2i d2i +  d2.
+
+i
+
+(A.13)
+
+The interest of these coordinates is that all rotational directions are symmetric.
+
+32Note that this is linked to the fact that the little group of massive representation in D dimension is SO(N ), which possess n Casimir invariants [68].
+

+
+A.1.4 Spheroidal with direction cosines
+
+From the previous system we can define the spheroidal (r�, ��i, �i) system � adapted when some of the 2-spheres are deformed to ellipses � by introducing parameters ai such that (for d odd)
+
+r2�2i = (r�2 + a2i )��2i ,
+
+��2i = 1.
+
+(A.14)
+
+i
+
+This last condition implies that
+
+r2 = (r�2 + a2i )��2i = r�2 + a2i ��2i .
+
+i
+
+i
+
+(A.15)
+
+In these coordinates the metric reads
+
+d2 = F dr�2 + (r�2 + a2i ) d��2i + ��2i d�2i +  r2d2
+i
+
+(A.16)
+
+and we defined
+
+F =1-
+
+i
+
+a2i ��2i r�2 + a2i
+
+=
+
+i
+
+r�2��2i r�2 + a2i
+
+.
+
+(A.17)
+
+Here the ai are just introduced as parameters in the transformation, but in the main text they are interpreted as "true" rotation parameters, i.e. angular momenta (per unit of mass) of a black hole. They all appear on the same footing.
+Another quantity of interest is
+
+ = (r�2 + a2i ).
+i
+
+(A.18)
+
+A.1.5 Mixed spherical�spheroidal
+We consider the deformation of the spherical metric where one of the 2-sphere is replaced by an ellipse [85, sec. 3].
+To shorten the notation let's define
+
+ = N-1,
+
+ = N-2.
+
+Doing the change of coordinates
+
+sin2  sin2  = cos2 .

+B Review of N = 2 ungauged supergravity
+
+In order for this review to be self-contained we recall the basic elements of N = 2 supergravity without hypermultiplets � we refer the reader to the standard references for more details [105�107].
+The gravity multiplet contains the metric and the graviphoton
+
+{g� , A0}
+
+(B.1)
+
+while each of the vector multiplets contains a gauge field and a complex scalar field
+
+{Ai,  i}, i = 1, . . . , nv.
+
+(B.2)
+
+The scalar fields  i (the conjugate fields ( i) are denoted by ��i) parametrize a special
+K�hler manifold with metric gi�. This manifold is uniquely determined by an holomorphic function called the prepotential F . The latter is better defined using the homogeneous (or projective) coordinates X such that

+C Technical properties
+In this chapter we describe few technical properties of the algorithm. We comment on the group properties that some of the JN transformations possess [59]. Another useful property of Giampieri's prescription is to allow to chain all coordinate transformation, making computations easier [57]. Then finally we discuss the fact that not all the rules (4.14) are independent and several choices of complexification are equivalent [57], contrary to what is commonly believed.
+
+C.1 Group properties
+
+We want to study the JN transformations that form a group: the main motivation is to state clearly the effect of chaining several transformations. This observation can be useful for chaining several transformations, therefore adding charges to a solution that is already non-static (for example adding rotation to a solution that already contains a NUT charge). More importantly this provides a setting where the algorithm has good chances to preserve Einstein equations.
+We will make the assumptions that the functions F () and G() are linear in some parameters A (implicit sum over A)
+
+F () = AFA(), G() = AGA(),
+
+(C.1)
+
+where {FA()} and {GA()} are the functions associated to the parameters and A runs over the dimension of this space. Mathematically the functions are member of an additive group G with elements in33 F � F (F being the space of functions with second derivatives) with
+generators FA(), GA() , A = 1, . . . , dim V since there is an identity element 0 and each element with coefficients A possesses an inverse given by -A. Adding the multiplication
+by a scalar turns this group into a vector space but we do not need this extra structure. As a consequence the sum of two functions F1 = 1AFA and F2 = 2AFA gives another function F3 = 3AFA with 3A = 1A + 2A. These assumptions are motivated by the results of section 5 where F and G were solutions of (non-homogeneous) second order linear differential equations where the A are the integration constants.
+After a first transformation
+
+r = r + i F1, u = u + i G1
+
+(C.2)
+
+one obtains the metric (omitting the primes)
+
+ds2 = - f~t{1}(du + HG1 d)2 + f~{1}(d2 + H2d2)
+
+- 2 f~t{1}f~r{1}(du + G1H d)(dr + F1H d)
+
+where
+
+f~i{1} = f~i{1}(r, F1).
+
+Performing a second transformation
+
+(C.3) (C.4)
+
+r = r + i F2, u = u + i G2 the previous metric becomes (omitting the primes)
+
+(C.5)
+
+ds2 = - f~t{1,2} du + H(G1 + G2) d 2 + f~{1,2}(d2 + H2d2) - 2 f~t{1,2}f~r{1,2} du + (G1 + G2)H d dr + (F1 + F2)H d
+
+(C.6)
+
+33For simplicity we consider the case where F and G are expanded over the same parameters, but this is not necessarily the case.
+
+58
+
+where
+
+f~i{1,2} = f~i{1,2}(r, F1, F2).
+
+This function is required to satisfy the following conditions (omitting the primes)
+
+(C.7)
+
+f~i{1,2}(r, F1, 0) = f~i{1}(r, F1),
+
+f~i{1,2}(r, F1, F2) = f~i{2,1}(r, F2, F1).
+
+(C.8)
+
+The second condition means that the order of the transformations should not matter because
+
+we want to obtain the same solution given identical seed metric and parameters.
+
+The metric (C.6) is obviously equivalent to the one we would get with a unique trans-
+
+formation34
+
+r = r + i (F1 + F2), u = u + i (G1 + G2).
+
+(C.9)
+
+Then, for the transformations which are such that
+
+f~i{1,2}(r, F1, F2) = f~i{1}(r, F1 + F2),
+
+(C.10)
+
+the DJN transformations form an Abelian group thanks to the group properties of the function space. This structure implies that we can first add one parameter, and later another one (say first the NUT charge, and then an angular momentum). Said another way this group preserves Einstein equations when the seed metric is a known (stationary) solution. But note that it may be very difficult to do it as soon as one begins to replace the F in the functions by their expression, because it obscures the original function � in one word we can not find f~i(r, F ) from f~i(r, ).
+Another point worth to mention is that not all DJN transformation are in this group since the condition (C.10) may not satisfied: we recall that imposing or not the latter is a choice that one is doing when performing the algorithm. A simple example is provided by
+
+f (r) = r2,
+
+(C.11)
+
+which can be transformed under the two successive transformations
+
+r = r + iF1, r = r + iF2
+
+(C.12)
+
+in two ways:
+
+1.
+
+f~{1} = |r|2 = r 2 + F12,
+
+f~{1,2} = |r |2 + F12 = r 2 + F12 + F22,
+
+2. f~{1} = |r|2 = |r + iF1|2,
+
+f~{1,2} = |r + i(F1 + F2)|2 = r 2 + F12 + F22 + 2F1F2.
+
+(C.13a) (C.13b)
+
+Only the second option satisfy the property (C.10) that leads to a group. Such an example is provided in 5d where the function f(r) = r2 is successively transformed as [58]
+
+r2 - |r|2 = r2 + a2 cos2  - |r|2 + a2 cos2  = r2 + a2 cos2  + b2 sin2 ,
+
+(C.14)
+
+with the functions
+
+F1 = a cos ,
+
+The condition (C.10) is clearly not satisfied.
+
+F2 = b sin .
+
+(C.15)
+
+34This breaks down when the metric is transformed with more complicated rules, such as in higher dimensions [58].
+
+59
+
+C.2 Chaining transformations
+The JN algorithm is summarized by the following table
+
+t  u  uC  u
+
+r
+
+ rC  r
+
+
+
+f
+
+ f~
+
+t 
+
+(C.16)
+
+where the arrows correspond to the different steps of the algorithm. A major advantage of Giampieri's prescription is that one can chain all these transform-
+ations since it involves only substitutions and no tensor operations. For this reason it is much easier to implement on a computer algebra system such as Mathematica. It is then possible to perform a unique change of variables that leads directly from the static metric to the rotating metric in any system defined by the function (g, h). For example in the case of rotation for a metric with a single function one finds
+
+dt = dt + ah sin2  (1 - f~-1) - g + f~-1 dr + a sin2  (f~-1 - 1) d , dr = (1 - ah sin2 ) dr + a sin2  d , d = d - h dr ,
+
+(C.17a) (C.17b) (C.17c)
+
+where the complexification of the metric function f can be made at the end. It is impressive that the algorithm from section 2 can be written in such a compact way.
+
+C.3 Arbitrariness of the transformation
+We provide a short comment on the arbitrariness of the complexification rules (4.14). In particular let's consider the functions
+
+f1(r)
+
+=
+
+1 ,
+r
+
+f2(r)
+
+=
+
+1 r2 .
+
+The usual rule is to complexify these two functions as
+
+(C.18)
+
+f~1(r)
+
+=
+
+Re r |r|2 ,
+
+f~2(r)
+
+=
+
+1 |r|2
+
+(C.19)
+
+using respectively the rules (4.14b) and (4.14c) (in the denominator). But it is possible to arrive at the same result with a different combinations of rules. In
+fact the functions can be rewritten as
+
+r f1(r) = r2 ,
+
+f2(r)
+
+=
+
+1 r
+
+1 .
+r
+
+(C.20)
+
+The following set of rules results again in (C.19):
+
+� f1: (4.14a) (numerator) and (4.14c) (denominator); � f2: (4.14a) (first fraction) and (4.14b) (second fraction).

+Abstract
+Characterizing and controlling nonlinear, multi-scale phenomena play important roles in science and engineering. Cluster-based reduced-order modeling (CROM) was introduced to exploit the underlying lowdimensional dynamics of complex systems. CROM builds a data-driven discretization of the PerronFrobenius operator, resulting in a probabilistic model for ensembles of trajectories. A key advantage of CROM is that it embeds nonlinear dynamics in a linear framework, and uncertainty can be managed with data assimilation. CROM is typically computed on high-dimensional data; however, access to and computations on this full-state data limit the online implementation of CROM for prediction and control. Here, we address this key challenge by identifying a small subset of critical measurements to learn an efficient CROM, referred to as sparsity-enabled CROM. In particular, we leverage compressive measurements to faithfully embed the cluster geometry and preserve the probabilistic dynamics. Further, we show how to identify fewer optimized sensor locations tailored to a specific problem that outperform random measurements. Both of these sparsity-enabled sensing strategies significantly reduce the burden of data acquisition and processing for low-latency in-time estimation and control. We illustrate this unsupervised learning approach on three different high-dimensional nonlinear dynamical systems from fluids with increasing complexity, with one application in flow control. Sparsity-enabled CROM is a critical facilitator for real-time implementation on high-dimensional systems where full-state information may be inaccessible.

+1. Introduction
+Nonlinear, multi-scale phenomena are ubiquitous in many fields in science and engineering; examples include the spread of infectious diseases, global planetary processes such as the Earth's climate system, neural brain activity, autonomous behavior of robotic systems, sustainable energy production, and greener transport systems. The high-dimensionality of these systems poses a challenge to understand and realistically model these phenomena. Moreover, low-latency real-time prediction and control is still a difficult endeavor, despite continually increasing computing power and memory storage. The long history of model reduction exhibits numerous examples of compact representations of such high-dimensional systems, such as PODGalerkin models [1, 2], that successfully capture the principal mechanisms. An alternative representation of nonlinear systems is based on infinite-dimensional linear operators on functions of the state space, such as the Koopman and Perron-Frobenius operators. The critical motivation for these operator-based approaches

+is the ability to apply powerful linear estimation and control techniques to nonlinear systems. Clusterbased reduced-order modeling (CROM) [3] was recently introduced to approximate the Perron-Frobenius operator in an unsupervised manner from high-dimensional data yielding a low-dimensional, linear model in probability space. The present work combines CROM with sparsity-promoting techniques, particularly the sparse sensor placement optimization for classification (SSPOC) architecture [4], as a critical enabler for real-time prediction and control. The sparsity enabled CROM identifies the probabilistic dynamics from few optimized measurements or compressed data facilitating its application for online prediction, estimation, and control and faster computations for high-dimensional systems.
+Reduced-order models (ROMs) aim to simplify a high-dimensional system by reducing the degrees of freedom, keeping only those that are important to model the phenomenon of interest. The intrinsic coordinates, in which the system exhibits such a low-rank structure, are often computed by proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) [1], and low dimensional dynamics are obtained via Galerkin projection. ROMs for parameterized systems are enabled by efficient evaluation of the nonlinear terms using sparse sampling techniques such as gappy POD [5]. The state of the art algorithm for principled sparse sampling of ROMs is the discrete empirical interpolation method (DEIM) [6], with variants including the addition of a genetic algorithm [7] and the use of pivot locations from the QR factorization [8]. More generally, sparsity-promoting techniques play an increasingly important role for model identification [9, 10], mode selection [11], and sensor placement [12, 13, 14, 7, 4] as well as for classification [15, 16, 17, 18] and reconstruction [19, 20].
+Nonlinearities arising in standard ROMs remain challenging. For estimation and control purposes, a linear representation is highly advantageous, spurring considerable work on operator-theoretic embeddings of nonlinear dynamics; these embeddings are not to be confused with local linearization. Techniques for linear representation of dynamics include operator methods of Koopman [21, 22], Perron-Frobenius [23, 24] and Fokker-Planck [25]. These infinite dimensional operators act on functions of the state space, providing a global linear description of the system. The practical computation of finite-dimensional approximations of the Koopman operator include dynamic mode decomposition (DMD) [26, 27] and its variants [28, 29]. The Perron-Frobenius operator is the adjoint of the Koopman operator, and it is associated with a probabilistic description of the dynamics. The continuous-time Liouville equation [30] associated with Perron-Frobenius governs the evolution of the probability density function (p.d.f.) in the state space (i.e., how an ensemble of trajectories evolves). Data-driven approximations of the Perron-Frobenius operator include identification of almost-invariant sets [31, 32, 33, 34] via the Ulam-Galerkin method [24, 35], which reduces Perron-Frobenius to a stochastic matrix. In practice, Ulam's method involves a high-dimensional discretization of the state space using a box partition, which suffers from the curse of dimensionality. If time-series data is available, the transition probabilities between those boxes can then be determined directly, but the computational burden of computing the partition and transition matrix is significant.
+Cluster-based reduced-order modeling is a particular realization of Ulam's method where a low-dimensional discretization is obtained in an unsupervised manner from data using a clustering algorithm. This datadriven discretization enables an efficient partitioning, while avoiding superfluous covering of regions where data is not available. The simplest CROM uses the k-means clustering algorithm [36] to learn an intrinsic partition or structure directly from data by grouping similar observations [37]. CROM generally relies on the knowledge of full-state measurements, which may be inaccessible in practice, and limits its use for real-time estimation and control.
+In this work, we leverage sparsity-promoting techniques to construct an efficient CROM from few measurements, referred to as sparsity-enabled CROM, which is a critical enabler for its online application. We first show that a sufficient, but small number of random measurements embed the cluster geometry and preserve the probabilistic dynamics. Further, we demonstrate the ability to learn a minimal set of optimized sensors, using the sparse sensor placement optimization for classification (SSPOC) architecture [4], that are tailored to the specific CROM and provide performance on par with the high-dimensional CROM. Sparsityenabled CROM allows one to identify low-dimensional probabilistic dynamics of high-dimensional systems in an unsupervised manner from sparsely-sampled data. Our method facilitates faster computations and is a critical enabler for real-time applications such as prediction and control. These sparsity enabled innovations are demonstrated on three high-dimensional fluid systems of increasing complexity, and in all cases optimized sensors outperform randomly chosen sensors. We also show that the sparsity enabled CROM can

+be used for closed-loop control, resulting in control performance that is similar to that of full-state CROM. The remainder of the article is structured as follows: The present work is centered around the CROM
+framework, compressed sensing, and the SSPOC architecture, which are discussed in Sec. 2. The main contributions of this work are (a) combining CROM with compressed sensing techniques to enable its estimation from few incoherent measurements, and (b) combining SSPOC with CROM to identify few optimized sensor locations in an unsupervised manner, both presented in Sec. 3. The approaches are illustrated for three high-dimensional systems from fluids in Sec. 4, the periodic double gyre flow, a well studied model for ocean mixing, a separating flow over a smoothly contoured ramp, where identified sensors are used for control, and the spatially developing mixing layer undergoing vortex pairing, where sensors are learned on heavily subsampled data. The main results are summarized and an outlook is provided in Sec. 5.
+
+2. Background
+
+This work develops reduced-order models of high-dimensional nonlinear dynamical systems using sparse measurements in a linear operator framework. The Perron-Frobenius operator is an infinite-dimensional linear operator for the evolution of densities in the state space of a nonlinear dynamical system. Although trading nonlinearity for a linear representation is desirable, a host of additional challenges arise due to the infinite-dimensional nature of the Perron-Frobenius operator. Thus, a finite-rank approximation of the Perron-Frobenius operator has been recently proposed [3], based on a data-driven discretization of phase space. This method, Cluster-based Reduced-Order Modeling (CROM), is discussed in Sec. 2.1.
+To facilitate sparse measurements and efficient computations for real-time control, techniques from compressed sensing are employed to determine a CROM for high-dimensional systems using few measurements. In compressed sensing, a high-dimensional signal can be recovered from few measurements if the signal is sparse in a transform basis. The geometry-preserving property of compressed sensing makes it ideal for estimating a CROM from few measurements, which requires that points close in high-dimensional state space remain close in measurement space. This is discussed in Sec. 2.2.
+The Sparse Sensor Placement Optimization for Classification (SSPOC) framework [4] leverages techniques from compressed sensing and exploits the low-rank structure occurring in many systems for optimized sensor placement, providing tailored sensor locations for a particular problem. This work combines CROM with SSPOC to yield (1) a sparse CROM from measurements, and (2) an unsupervised sensor placement framework for cluster classification. The SSPOC approach is reviewed in Sec. 2.3.

+2.1. Cluster-based reduced-order modeling (CROM) and control
+The cluster-based reduced-order modeling (CROM) [3] framework has been recently introduced to model the coarse-grained probabilistic dynamics of high-dimensional nonlinear systems, such as fluid flows. CROM identifies models in an unsupervised manner directly from data (see Fig. 1 for an example). The resulting low-dimensional model yields insights into properties of the attractor by analysis of the underlying interaction dynamics between clusters. Thus, a coarse-grained probability vector on the spate space is evolved, taking into account uncertainties with a well-defined prediction horizon, and capturing nonlinear mechanisms in a

+linear framework. The approach is closely related to the common Ulam-Galerkin approximation scheme [23, 38], which reduces the infinite dimensional Perron-Frobenius operator to a stochastic matrix.
+In many systems, such as fluids, we are often interested in controlling statistical flow properties, such as the average drag on a car or average lift on an airfoil. Moreover, these quantities are often determined from a single time-series of data from an experiment or simulation, as opposed to an ensemble of data. The basis for their computation is Birkhoff's ergodic theorem [39], which states the equivalence between time averages and space averages in ergodic systems. Hence, interest in the long-term behavior leads naturally to invariant (or ergodic) probability measures on the attractor, i.e. these measures stay the same after transformation of the attractor. Moreover, a probabilistic description of complex dynamical systems can be more insightful than that of an individual trajectory, particularly in the study of transport and mixing processes [40, 33, 34]. The evolution of the probability density function (p.d.f.) of the state variables, i.e. an ensemble of trajectories, is governed by the linear Liouville equation. A prominent example is Hopf's derivation of a Liouville equation for the Navier-Stokes equation [41]. An overview of methods for the numerical approximation of functional differential equations, such as arising from Hopf's formalism of the Liouville equation, is provided in [42]. A prominent ROM strategy is based on the Mori-Zwanzig projection operator formalism [43, 44, 45] for a Liouville equation [46, 47]. The Liouville equation for a Galerkin system constitutes a simpler version and the reader is referred to [48] for a detailed discussion. Associated with the continuous-time Liouville equation is the above mentioned discrete-time Perron-Frobenius operator, which maps the p.d.f. forward in time; the Liouville equation may be thought of as the infinitesimal generator for the one-parameter family of Perron-Frobenius operators. CROM is closely related to the Ulam-Galerkin method [24, 36], but with the critical distinction of a data-driven discretization of phase space that results in a much lower-dimensional model. Thus, CROM is closely aligned with closure schemes, in which a stable fixed point represents the ergodic measure for the unsteady attractor in velocity space.
+In this work, we assume velocity fields as input data, which are denoted by {u(x, tm)}M m=1 in the following, where u(x, tm) is the mth realization at discrete time tm over a fixed domain  with spatial coordinate x. A constant time step t is assumed. A schematic of CROM is provided in Fig. 2 and discussed below. CROM assumes time-resolved data and relies on two steps: First, the data is partitioned into groups of kinematically similar observations using an unsupervised clustering algorithm, such as k-means [49], to obtain a coarse-grained state space. K-means aims to find a natural grouping or hidden structure in data by maximizing the similarity of observations in the same group, also referred to as cluster, and minimizing
+4
+
+it for observations belonging to different groups. The clustering algorithm assumes a pre-defined number of clusters Nc and yields a set of centroids {ck}Nk=c 1, where ck represents the mean of all observations in cluster Ck, k = 1, . . . , Nc, and a set of labels {Lm}M m=1 with Lm  {1, . . . , Nc}, which affiliates each observation u(x, tm) with a distinct cluster Ck. Moreover, the data space is partitioned into Nc centroidal Voronoi cells, which are defined as particular Voronoi cells for which the generating points of the Voronoi tessellation are equal to the mass centroids of the Voronoi regions [50]. K-means clustering has been applied in a variety of applications related to model reduction, e.g. for dimensionality reduction [51], trust-region reduced-order modeling [52, 53], and similarly to CROM, for the prediction of coarse-grained observables [54], to name a few. Second, the transitions between those clusters are modeled as a Markov process. The resulting transition probability matrix, which describes how the probability distribution evolves on the discretized state space, can be represented as a graph (Fig. 1). The maximum likelihood estimator is used to determine the transition probabilities P = (Pjk) of the Markov process, where Pjk = Prob{u(x, tm+1)  Cj|u(x, tm)  Ck} denotes the probability that a transition of the trajectory occurs from cluster Ck to cluster Cj over one time step t. If the data is high-dimensional, a reduction using, e.g., proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) [1], might be necessary to increase the feasibility of the procedure. The clustering is then applied to the POD time coefficients {a(tm)}M m=1 and the procedure continues as described above.
+The representation of nonlinear dynamics in an approximate linear framework is of significant current interest, largely because of the potential to enable advanced nonlinear prediction, estimation and control using standard tools from linear systems theory [22, 55, 56, 57, 28]. CROM is a practical data-driven approach for representing high-dimensional nonlinear systems in a probabilistic linear framework. However, the standard CROM analysis still relies on access to high-dimensional measurement data, which may be expensive to collect. Moreover, computations based on this high-dimensional data introduce unacceptable latency, limiting the bandwidth for real-time feedback control. The goal of real-time estimation and control motivates the use of compressed sensing and sparse measurements from the following sections.
+
+2.2. Compressed sensing
+Compressed sensing is revolutionizing our understanding of signal compression and reconstruction [58, 59, 60]. This growing body of work relies on the fact that most natural high-dimensional signals u, such as discretized solutions to PDEs, are highly compressible. Thus in an appropriate basis (such as a tailored POD basis, or a Fourier or wavelet basis), the high-dimensional signal may be written as a sparse vector a as in (2) with many zero-valued coefficients. For motivating examples of compressed sensing, such as image reconstruction, a generic wavelet or Fourier basis is sufficient. If the vector a has K nonzero elements, we say that it is K-sparse. Instead of measuring the high-dimensional signal u directly, compressed sensing provides rigorous conditions under which it is possible to collect surprisingly few measurements with respect to the Nyquist sampling frequency and infer the few non-zero coefficients of a, and hence u. This observation has led to a number of studies investigating the properties of random sparse measurements and the construction of sensing matrices with favorable reconstruction properties. In particular, consider a measurement matrix   RNs�N , with K < Ns N . Then measurements y are given by:
+
+y = u = a = a.
+
+(3)
+
+The main result of compressed sensing is that the sparse coefficients of a may be determined with highprobability, given that the measurements are chosen so that the matrix  satisfies the Restricted Isometry Property (RIP). In particular, there must be sufficiently many measurements, typically on the order Ns = O(K log(N/K)), and these measurements must be incoherent with respect to the sparsifying basis , so that the rows of  are not too correlated with any column of . An important set of results have shown that random measurements, where the entries of  are Gaussian or Bernoulli random variables, are incoherent with a given basis  with high probability.
+Without compressed sensing, searching for the sparsest vector a consistent with the measurements y amounts to an intractable brute-force search through the combinatorially many sparse vectors. Mathematically, this can be formulated as an optimization problem
+
+a = arg min ||a ||0 subject to y = a .

+
+However, the 0 pseudo-norm, which measures the sparsity of a, makes this optimization non-convex, so that it does not scale well to large problems. With the advent of compressed sensing, it is now possible to solve for the sparsest consistent a with high probability by relaxing the 0 term to an 1 norm [59, 58, 61]:
+
+a = arg min ||a ||1 subject to y = a .
+
+(5)
+
+a
+
+Solutions to (5) can be found through convex optimization methods (e.g. using the cvx toolbox [62, 63]) or greedy algorithms such as orthogonal matching pursuit [64, 65]. The number of sensors can be further reduced for classification, considered in the present study, as the bijectivity property can be relaxed.
+In many engineering applications, Gaussian random measurements from compressed sensing are not practical. Instead, point measurements are more physical, as they correspond to individual sensors. Fortunately, point sensors are optimally incoherent with respect to the Fourier basis, and many engineering signals, such as fluid velocity fields and other solutions of PDEs, are sparse in the Fourier domain. There has been considerable recent work combining sparsity with dynamical systems [13, 66, 67, 68, 14, 69, 9, 70, 71, 17, 10], a perspective that is continued here. Throughout this work, we will leverage the fact from compressed sensing that random measurements tend to preserve the geometry of sparse vectors in the measurement space.
+
+2.3. Sparse sensor placement optimization for classification (SSPOC)
+The sparse sensor placement optimization for classification (SSPOC) framework [4] combines dimensionality reduction and discrimination techniques with compressed sensing to learn sparse sensor locations that enable classification of a high-dimensional system from few measurements. SSPOC exploits the fact that many high-dimensional systems evolve on a low-dimensional attractor, and can thus be represented in a low-rank basis. Moreover, classification is simpler than full-state reconstruction, and can be accomplished with fewer measurements. It is common to combine low-rank representations such as POD with linear discriminant analysis (LDA) to learn low-dimensional classifiers. In addition, using POD as a pre-processing step to LDA can regularize ill-conditioned problems. While SSPOC is a general procedure, here we make use of the POD-LDA approach as suggested in [4] for simplicity. A schematic of the procedure is shown in Fig. 4.
+We consider high-dimensional data, such as the velocity snapshot ensemble {u(x, tm)}M m=1 introduced in Sec. 2.1. Moreover, this data may be associated with different classes such as different bifurcation regimes
+6
+
+[14], different control cases [17], or distinct clusters representing a coarse-grained discretization of state space, as in the present study. The classification of each observation {Lm}M m=1 must be known in advance. It is further assumed that the data can be represented by a low-rank feature basis  = [1, . . . , Nf ]  RN�Nf , where N is the dimension of the data and Nf is the rank of the basis. The LDA classifier is trained using labeled data in the feature space and identifies the directions given by w = [w1, . . . , wNc-1]  RNf �Nc-1, in which the classes are best separated. SSPOC aims to find a sparse vector s that best reconstructs the
+discriminating directions w by solving the optimization problem
+
+s = arg min {||s ||1 + ||s 1||1} subject to ||T s - w||F   ,
+
+(6)
+
+s
+
+where 1 represents a column vector of Nc - 1 ones and  is a small error tolerance (set to  = 10-10 in all examples). The non-zero entries in the solution s  RN are the spatial locations of the learned sparse sensors; these sensors are selected for rows in  that best reconstruct w. The coupling weight  tunes the number of learned sensors at the cost of decreasing the classification accuracy. Thus, increasing  amounts to strengthening the coupling between columns of s, so that the same entries or measurements are re-used to reconstruct several decision vectors.
+Having identified the optimal sensor locations, a sensing matrix   RNs�N is constructed by selecting the Ns rows of the N � N identity matrix corresponding to the Ns nonzero rows in s. The classification task can then be performed on low-dimensional measurements y = u. Although it is possible to use the original LDA classifier on the new measurements in y, it is generally advisable to train a new classifier directly in the sensor space, resulting in new discriminating directions w^  RNs�Nc-1. Then, a new measurement is assigned a class corresponding to the cluster k whose projected centroid k = w^ T ck, k = 1, . . . , Nc, is closest to  (the nearest-centroid method, NCM).
+Depending on the dimensionality of the data, this sensor placement approach can be quite costly and may require considerable computational resources. Thus, in some cases, it is advantageous to randomly subsample the data before learning the sensor locations, as explored in [4]. For many tasks, it has been shown that sensor locations learned on 10% of the data perform similarly to those trained on the full state. Measurements y are then obtained by the projection y = ~ ^ u where ^ is the sub-sampling matrix consisting of random rows of the N �N identity matrix and ~ is the sensing matrix learned in that subspace.
+The SSPOC procedure has been previously demonstrated in a number of applied contexts to streamline the sensors required for an accurate classification based on a pre-trained supervised classification scheme [4, 17]. The present work generalizes this algorithm to work without known labels of observations using unsupervised clustering, such as k-means. More importantly, this work makes a critical generalization of SSPOC to apply to dynamical systems, where sparse sensor selection can dramatically improve real-time estimation and control performance.
+
+3. Methodology
+The major contribution of this work is in extending the CROM framework (see Sec. 2.1) to include compressive measurements; in particular, we use the SSPOC architecture (see Sec. 2.3) for sensor placement optimization. This combination enables the three main results of this work:
+1. It is possible to compute CROM from compressive measurements yielding the same probabilistic transition dynamics as CROM based on high-fidelity data. We refer to this as sparsity-enabled CROM.
+2. We apply SSPOC with CROM to find a few, optimized point measurements tailored to the specific CROM problem. This allows one to implement CROM, estimated from high-dimensional data, in real-time applications such as estimation and control. For control, we find that the optimized sensors perform similarly to full-state measurements.
+3. We generalize SSPOC to be applicable to unlabeled data and to learn sensor placement for dynamical systems, such as CROM. SSPOC finds sensors that perform the classification task with high accuracy, even though the data considered here is, by definition, not well separated among the partitions.

+
+Sparsity-enabled CROM estimated from few measurements, exploiting the geometry-preserving properties of compressed sensing methods, is discussed in Sec. 3.1. The combination of SSPOC with CROM to learn a small number of optimized sensors is presented in Sec. 3.2.
+
+3.1. Sparsity-enabled CROM
+The analysis, modeling and control of high-dimensional systems often involve algorithms that are computationally expensive, making real-time applications intractable. In this section, we combine CROM with ideas from compressed sensing to enable a computationally efficient cluster and model identification from few incoherent measurements. A schematic of the sparsity-enabled CROM strategy is shown in Fig. 5.
+Let us consider full-state measurements u  RN of the high-dimensional dynamical system (1). It is possible to collect compressed data y = u  RNs , where  is the sensing matrix. We seek a transition probability matrix from those measurements y that exhibits the same topological structure as its counterpart estimated from full-state measurements u. The transition probabilities depend solely on the cluster affiliation provided by the clustering of the time history of u or y. Thus, the k-means clustering step, yielding the state-space discretization into clusters, is crucial to preserve the probabilistic dynamics. K-means clustering aims to partition M observations into Nc clusters, such that the distances between observations in the same cluster are minimized and those between observations belonging to different clusters are maximized. Specifically, it minimizes the sum of the squared distances

+
+where Nc is the number of clusters and Ci denotes the Voronoi cell associated with cluster centroid ci, i = 1, . . . , Nc. Note that we consider in the present work only the Euclidean distance metric. This means that not only must measurements y disambiguate different high-dimensional states u, but the measurement
+matrix  must also ensure that two states u1 and u2, which are close in state space, must also be close in sensor space. Distances between data points must be preserved under the action of the sensing matrix :
+
+||u1 - u2||  ||y1 - y2|| = ||u1 - u2|| = ||(u1 - u2)|| .
+
+(8)
+
+These geometry-preserving properties establish that the dynamics estimated from measurements are equal to those in full state space. For this to be true, in the compressed sensing framework, the following conditions must be fulfilled: (i) u must be sparse in transform basis , (ii) sufficiently many measurements, typically Ns = O(K log(N/K)), must be collected, and (iii) the sensing matrix  must be incoherent with respect to . Thus, if the sensing matrix  satisfies the RIP, the pair-wise distances between any two K-sparse vectors, i.e. here specifically a = T u, are preserved, and the high-dimensional state u can be reconstructed from y [72]. It can also be concluded from this property that high-fidelity cluster centroids {ci}Ni=c1 can be reconstructed from those centroids {c^i}Ni=c1 learned from measurements y.
+Identifying dynamics from compressive data of high-dimensional systems has the additional advantage of making the pre-processing dimensionality-reduction step expendable. The representation of the data
+8
+
+u in a transform basis such as POD has been found to increase the computational efficiency if the state is high-dimensional [3]. Specifically, POD becomes computationally advantageous for INc > (M + 1)/2, where I is the number of iterations in the k-means algorithm, when comparing the number of distance integrals of k-means with correlation integrals of POD. Compressive measurements become advantageous if (M + 1)/2 > Ns, not taking into account any additional calculations for POD.
+Sparsity-enabled CROM allows one to identify the probabilistic dynamics of high-dimensional, nonlinear systems from few measurements facilitating more efficient computations and making data preprocessing steps for data compression and feature extraction superfluous. The critical enabler is the compressed sensing paradigm which directs the design of sensing matrices, such as Gaussian random matrices, that preserve geometric properties of sparse vectors. This allows one to apply k-means clustering directly to compressive measurements. In the following example, we demonstrate sparsity-enabled CROM for a high-dimensional system from fluids using Gaussian random and random point measurements. While Gaussian random measurements still rely on access to full-state data, random point measurements are more physical, corresponding to individual sensors. However, these are not tailored to the problem, but are instead chosen randomly, suggesting that significant improvements can be achieved by optimizing their locations.
+
+Example: Sparse CROM estimated from compressive measurements of the mixing layer. We illustrate the sparsity-enabled CROM estimated from few linear, incoherent measurements of the high-dimensional spatially developing fluid mixing layer (see Fig. 1). For details on this dataset we refer to [3] and Sec. 4.3 where it is studied in detail for optimized sensor placement of point measurements. In particular, we are interested in comparing the cluster affiliation and the probabilistic dynamics based on few incoherent measurements with those of the full state.
+We consider the time history of M = 2000 velocity fields u(x, tm), m = 1, . . . , M , which is compressed using POD. Note that the dimension of each velocity field is N  3.7 � 106 (considering the streamwise and transverse velocity component). Following the CROM strategy described in Sec. 2.1 and outlined in Fig. 2, the labels {L(tm)}M m=1, affiliating each velocity field with a cluster and the cluster transition probability matrix (CTM), here denoted by Q, are determined. This is the reference to which the results based on random measurements will be compared, and is in the following referred to as full-state CROM. We consider two different sensing matrices to obtain incoherent measurements y = u: a Gaussian random matrix, which can be generated using, e.g., the randn command in Matlab, and random point measurements generated from a random selection of rows of the N � N identity matrix. In particular, we consider three cases:
+
+(A) Gaussian sensing matrix and keeping the clustering fixed, (B) Gaussian sensing matrix and re-clustering of measurements y, and (C) random point measurements and re-clustering of measurements y.
+
+In case A, centroids, cluster affiliation and CTM are re-computed from measurements using the reference labels {L(tm)}M m=1. This is advantageous if CROM is learned offline on high-dimensional data for use in a real-time application with few measurements. In contrast, cases B and C follow the sparsity-enabled CROM
+strategy as shown in Fig. 5, where CROM is directly learned from the measurements.
+The probabilistic cluster dynamics described by the CTMs, namely P from measurements y and reference
+Q from the full state, are compared via the Jensen-Shannon divergence (JSD) [73]

+are re-computed from measurements using labels {L(tm)}M m=1, (2) the cluster affiliation is updated based on the nearest-centroid method using the cluster centroids from (1), (3) the CTM is re-computed, P, based on the cluster affiliation from (2). The error decays rapidly if more measurements are used. An example time history of the cluster affiliation closely matches that of the reference. The JSD decays analogously and the CTM converges to the reference CTM Q with increasing number of measurements (see Fig. 7).
+In the compressed sensing framework, few, but sufficiently many, incoherent measurements preserve geometric properties such as the cluster geometry. Thus, clustering algorithms such as k-means shall, in principle, yield the same results when applied directly to the measurements. As a consequence, the transition probabilities must also be equal to those computed using the POD coefficients. To facilitate the comparison of the results based on measurements with the full-state reference, we choose the same initial set of centroids in the iteration process of k-means. However, small differences in the pairwise distances between observations will inevitably lead to different final clustering results; the location of the final set of centroids will be different compared to the reference. Nevertheless, if sufficiently many measurements are taken, the cluster partition should converge. Further, the numbering of the clusters may change, thus the clusters computed from y are renumbered to match the full-state clusters as close as possible. The classification error and an example time history of the cluster affiliation is shown in Fig. 8. Despite being generally higher, the classification error shows the expected decay with increasing number of measurements. Similarly, the CTM P converges to the true CTM Q while the JSD decreases as shown in Fig. 9.
+In the following, more realistic measurements are considered corresponding to point measurements. The classification error for case C and an example time history of the cluster affiliation based on Ns = 1000 random point measurements at each time instant are shown in Fig. 10 . Note that for this example up to 1000 measurements are considered. The classification error does not decrease as rapidly as in the previous examples, as (1) single point measurements contain less information than Gaussian random measurements, which are obtained from taking the dot product between the Gaussian random matrix and the full state, (2)

+Figure 9: Sparse CROM from incoherent measurements analogous to Fig. 7 but based on the clustering in Fig. 8: (a) JensenShannon divergence and (b) select transition matrices for Ns = 10, Ns = 100 and reference Q (from left to right).
+the position change of the centroids also affects the renumbering procedure of the clusters introducing an error in the cluster affiliation. The fluctuation in the misclassification increases due to the strong dependency of the measurements on the selection of sensor locations in the sensing matrix. Despite these weaknesses, the CTM converges to the full-state CTM if sufficiently many measurements are collected (see Fig. 11).
+In conclusion, we have shown that CROM from few, incoherent measurements preserves the cluster geometry and and topological structure of the transition probability matrix. Thus, the same probabilistic dynamics are identified if sufficiently many measurements are collected. More generally, the computational cost of k-means clustering can be reduced if compressive measurements are employed. 3.2. Sparse sensor placement optimization for CROM
+Sparsity-enabled CROM makes possible more efficient computations using fewer measurements. While Gaussian random measurements are very suitable from a compressed sensing viewpoint, these are not suitable

+for realistic applications. In contrast, random point measurements can be interpreted as physically realizable individual sensors. However, their random selection does not guarantee good performance. Moreover, sufficiently many measurements have to be collected to preserve the cluster geometry.
+Optimized sensor locations tailored to the specific CROM can yield improvements in accuracy, while decreasing the number of sensors. SSPOC has been demonstrated to find few optimized sensors for accurate classification based on a pre-trained supervised classification scheme [4, 17]. While CROM learns an intrinsic data partitioning, SSPOC exploits a known partition to find a minimal number of sensors that are most informative for discriminating those classes. Thus, combining CROM with SSPOC is particularly suitable and allows one to unify their respective merits. A schematic of the sparse sensor placement strategy for CROM facilitated by SSPOC is outlined in Fig. 12.
+Eq. (6)
+Figure 12: Schematic of the sparse sensor placement optimization for CROM showing the different training stages A and B as well as the subsequent (possibly real-time) application of the sensors in C. See text for details.
+Both SSPOC and CROM start with a dimensionality reduction procedure such as POD. Diverging from the standard procedures for SSPOC (compare Fig. 4) and CROM (compare Fig. 2), two key innovations are implemented: (1) K-means clustering is integrated into SSPOC as an intermediate step. This enables SSPOC to learn sensors in an unsupervised manner, where classes of the data are unknown and must be
+12
+
+first discovered using an unsupervised clustering algorithm, such as k-means. (2) The partitioning of CROM
+
+in conjunction with a supervised classifier, such as LDA, allows one to solve the l1 optimization problem of
+
+SSPOC (6) to learn few optimized sensors that are key for discriminating the clusters.
+
+The scheme for learning a CROM and subsequent sensor optimization follows three stages as shown in
+
+Fig. 12. In training stage A, which is performed offline, time-series data from a high-dimensional systems
+
+is analyzed. The standard CROM procedure can then be applied (see Fig. 2) to the full-state data. The
+
+cluster affiliation given by the labels {L(tm)}M m=1, resulting from the learned state-space partitioning using k-means, is provided to SSPOC yielding few optimized sensor locations. While CROM is trained on all
+
+features, depending on the dimensionality of the data and its sparsity in that basis, it can be suitable to
+
+reduce the number of features considered in the optimization problem, shrinking the computational costs.
+
+Finding a good set of sensors involves two steps: First, sensors are determined for varying . Often the
+
+total number of sensor locations found, denoted by Ns, reaches a plateau for a particular  value. There
+
+is generally a trade-off between the number of sensors and achieved accuracy which has to be taken into
+
+account when choosing . Second, the number of sensors can be further tuned by keeping  fixed, e.g.
+
+achieving the largest gain, and instead varying the number of features. Alternatively, the number of sensors
+
+can be adapted by sweeping through the error tolerance  in the optimization (see (6)). The Ns sensor
+
+locations correspond to rows in s which have at least one non-zero entry. In practice, these can be found
+
+by applying the threshold |sij| 
+
+||s||F 2Nc Nf
+
+[4] in order to construct the sensing matrix .
+
+For very high-
+
+dimensional problems, such as the mixing layer flow, it can be necessary to first randomly subsample the
+
+data to make the optimization problem tractable.
+
+In training stage B, the classifier for discriminating clusters is re-trained in the sensor space. Using the
+
+sensing matrix  created in stage A, single point measurements {y(tm)}M m=1 are collected from the training data. The LDA and cluster centroid classifiers are then re-trained from the measurements yielding the discriminating projection vectors {w^ i}Ni=c1-1 and centroids {c^k}Nk=c 1. Retraining classifiers in the sensor space is recommended, as this generally increases classification accuracy. This is done in all examples.
+
+The last stage C marks the online phase, where in-time measurements are collected from the sensor
+
+locations and the prevailing cluster is determined. Thus, a few point measurements of the high-dimensional
+
+state are measured and subsequently classified into a cluster in conjunction with the classifiers. This is a
+
+critical enabler for low-latency in-time estimation and response. While the classification based on the closest
+
+cluster centroid seems more natural for the considered problem, it can be advantageous to employ the LDA
+
+classifier in the sensor space, as sensor locations are optimized with regard to how well these reconstruct
+
+the discriminating projection vectors. However, if sensors are learned on subsampled data, we have found
+
+that the nearest-centroid method applied to the cluster centroids in the sensor space can achieve higher
+
+accuracy. In all examples, we compare the performance of the learned SSPOC sensors with random sensors
+
+and sensors corresponding to the pivot locations from the QR factorization [8] of the transform basis ,
+
+which are referred to as QRcp sensors.
+
+The combination of CROM with SSPOC is critical for making CROM applicable in realistic configurations
+
+that require in-time prediction, estimation, and control. Our innovations facilitate the learning of a minimal
+
+number of optimized sensor locations tailored to a specific CROM to achieve maximal performance and,
+
+more generally, specifically targeted towards dynamical systems. Moreover, this generalization of SSPOC
+
+to unsupervised classifiers enables sensor placement for classification problems in an unsupervised manner.
+
+4. Results
+We examine sensory placement for three examples from fluids that address different challenges (see Tab. 1). The first example is the periodic double gyre flow of moderate dimension which serves as illustrative example. The state space is discretized into two clusters, each associated with the contraction and expansion of the two vortices. The second flow system, a separating flow over a smoothly contoured ramp, has been previously employed as testbed for cluster-based control building on CROM [76]. Here, the control performance using optimized sensors is compared to full-state measurements. The third example is the spatially developing mixing layer, which exhibits high-dimensionality and strains computational resources. Thus, the optimization of sensors is facilitated by using heavily subsampled data.

+For cross-validation purposes, all datasets are first split into a training and test set; clustering and sensor placement is then learned on the training set and performance is assessed on the test set. The subsampling percentage of the data on which the sensors are learned is denoted S%. For each example, the number of snapshots M , the number of spatial grid points Nxy (all flow problems are two-dimensional), and the number of potential sensor locations N are given in Tab. 1. Note that N = 2 Nxy for the separating flow, as sensor placement distinguishes between the streamwise and transverse velocity component. In the double gyre and the mixing layer flows, vorticity snapshot data is considered. The specifications and parameters for all cases are provided in Tab. 2. The number of clusters is set to Nc = 2 for the double gyre flow to identify the contraction and expansion behavior of the vortices. In the remaining examples, Nc = 10 clusters are used, motivated by the choice in previous work to which the results are compared. The clusters are trained in the POD space where the number of employed features is denoted by Nf .

+4.1. Periodically driven double gyre flow as illustrative example
+The periodically driven double gyre flow models the transport between convection rolls in the RayleighB�enard convection due to lateral oscillation, e.g. as a simple model for the gulf stream ocean front [77]. We employ here the same parameters as in Shadden's seminal work [78] on Lagrangian coherent structures. Consider the stream function defined by
+
+(x, y, t) = A sin(f (x, t)) sin(y)
+
+(11)
+
+with f (x, t) =  sin(t) x2 +(1-2 sin(t)) x, where A = 0.25,  = 0.25, and  = 2/10 are fixed parameters, over the domain  = {(x, y)|0  x  2, 0  y  1}, discretized to obtain Nx = 30 and Ny = 15 grid nodes in the horizontal and vertical directions, respectively. The parameter  represents the amplitude of the periodic oscillation, which yields a steady flow for  = 0 and oscillating flow for  > 0. A visualization of the instantaneous vorticity is displayed in Fig. 13(a). The separatrix between the two convection cells oscillates periodically with , leading to a periodic expansion and contraction of the vortex cells. These two dynamical regimes are identified in an unsupervised manner using the k-means clustering algorithm. The vorticity centroids of the two identified clusters, denoted by 1 and 2, are shown in Fig. 13(b) and (c), respectively. In the following, sparse sensor locations are learned to distinguish between these two states.

The results are compared with the accuracy for full-state sensors with increasing number of features Nf (a3). The mean and standard deviation of the cross-validated accuracy are shown as solid and dashed lines, respectively. The optimal sensor location (�) for a single sensor (b)(top) lies slightly outwards of the vortex core when the vortices are symmetric. The symmetry of the problem results in two optimal locations with equal probability for a single sensor (see (b)bottom) which can be immediately found using SSPOC or QRcp in contrast to random sensor locations (c) or an exhaustive search.
+Figure 15: Probability of sensor locations for (a) random and optimal placment using (b) QR with column pivoting or (c) SSPOC.
+The ability of vorticity sensors to classify the two dynamical regimes is shown in Fig. 14(a). In all cases, the accuracy improves with an increasing number of features Nf or sensors Ns. The accuracy reaches a plateau at Ns = Nf = 5, and decreases at Ns = Nf = 8 due to overfitting. SSPOC and QRcp achieve an average accuracy of 97.12% and 96.44%, respectively, for a single point sensor. In contrast, the full-state projected onto a single POD mode achieves an average classification accuracy of 54%. One example is shown in Fig. 14(b, top), where the single point sensor (red circle) is located slightly off the center of one of the vortex cores. This sensor achieves 100% accuracy. In Fig. 14(b, bottom), the probability distribution of sensor locations found by SSPOC or QRcp (which are identical in this particular case) with a single feature (Nf = 1), and hence a single sensor (Ns = 1), is shown. Due to the symmetry of the problem, there are two optimal locations close to each of the vortex cores, which are found with equal probability. These sensor locations can be easily determined using SSPOC or QRcp in contrast to random sensors (see Fig. 14(c)) or brute-force search.
+The overall probability distributions of all sensor locations found for random, QRcp, or SSPOC sensor selection, are shown in Fig. 15. The selection of sensor locations should be guided by the sensing or decision task. Here, sensors should be maximally informative observables with respect to the prevailing dynamical regime represented by the cluster. Both QRcp and SSPOC yield learned sensors along the horizontal center line, for which the double gyre flow exhibits a reflection symmetry. While the sensors found by QRcp are more equally distributed along that line, sensors found by SSPOC clearly favor the two distinct locations close to the vortex cores. Overall, QRcp and SSPOC perform equally well in this introductory example.

+4.2. Separating flow over a smooth ramp: Towards in-time control Sensor placement is studied for a controlled separating flow over a smooth ramp (see Fig. 16) governed by
+typical Kelvin-Helmholtz shedding with Reynolds number Re = UL/ = 7700 based on the inflow velocity U, the length of the flat plate L upstream of the curved wall, and the kinematic viscosity . Learning optimized sparse sensor locations dramatically reduces the computational overhead in the online sensing and classification, reducing latency and improving bandwidth of in-time control. In the present study, we seek to identify few sensors that discriminate between different clusters (see Sec. 4.2.1) which is a key enabler for cluster-based control in experimental applications. Cluster-based control using a control-oriented CROM on full-state measurements has been previously studied to optimize an open-loop controller based on the optimal periodic excitation frequency for this configuration [76]. In particular, a bang-bang controller is employed, which turns the periodic forcing on or off dependent on the cluster, exploiting the long relaxation times of the flow. In Sec. 4.2.2, sensor locations are learned in a subspace specifically tailored towards this cluster-based control application and the performance of the optimal control laws using sparse sensor measurements and full-state measurements are compared.
+In the following, we provide a brief description of the unsteady, two-dimensional, incompressible NavierStokes solver and data set, both previously described in [76]. The two-dimensional flow is defined by the velocity vector u(x, t) := (u, v)T , where u and v are the streamwise and transverse velocity components, respectively. The computational domain , shown in Fig. 17(a), is discretized using mixed Taylor-Hood elements [79] on an unstructured triangular mesh comprised of 8567 nodes with increased resolution around the leading edge (located at (x, y) = (0, 0.6)), in the boundary layer and in the shear layer region. A quadratic finite-element method formulation is used to discretize the evolution equations with no-slip boundary on the
+17
+
+ramp and stress-free outflow. A detailed description of the solver can be found in [80, 81]. A rectangular velocity profile U  := u(x = -1, y) = (1, 0)T is used for the inflow condition. The numerical time step is 0.005 and the sampling period of the snapshots is 20 time steps, i.e. t = 0.1. The function b denotes the time-dependent control input amplitude, which has compact support in a circular region, centered at x = 1 and a y-position chosen such that the circular region is mostly inside the boundary layer (displayed as a red circle in Fig. 17(a)).
+The curvature of the wall induces an adverse pressure gradient leading to flow separation. The developing free shear layer is convectively unstable giving rise to the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability [82]. Behind the ramp a large recirculation area forms, the reduction of which benefits drag and lift forces. The recirculation area is here approximated by the area where the streamwise velocity component is negative. The corresponding time average of the recirculation area is defined by

+

+
+H (-u(x))(t)dxdt
+
+(12)
+
+T1 
+
+where H denotes the Heaviside function. The recirculation area can be largely reduced by open-loop periodic forcing with excitation frequency close to the shedding frequency. In previous work [76], a cluster-based feedback controller was developed to optimize this open-loop forcing by turning the actuation on or off depending on the prevailing cluster exploiting the fact that this flow exhibits long relaxation times.
+The particular dataset considered (see [76]) consists of instantaneous velocity fields, for which open-loop forcing is randomly turned on and off (see Fig. 17(b)) with the optimal excitation frequency, fp = 0.45, known to achieve the smallest mean recirculation area. The data, comprised of M = 1650 velocity snapshots, is stacked into a matrix and reduced using POD. The data is clustered in the POD feature space into Nc = 10 clusters. A representative clustering result, showing the phase plot of the first three POD coefficients with color-coded cluster affiliation, is displayed in Fig. 17(c). The yellow/green-colored clusters represent flow realizations without forcing, while the dark blue clusters represent flow realizations with forcing and the corresponding lock-in between the flow and actuation. Transients between the natural and forced flows are colored in orange and light blue. Despite abruptly switching the actuation on or off, the flow varies smoothly and hence the data points are not well separated into different clusters.
+In the cluster-based control loop, depicted in Fig. 16, sensor measurements y are fed into the controller, which first determines the prevailing cluster  = (y), where  is a characteristic function affiliating a measurement with a particular cluster, and then enacts the next control input b. The control law K is a piecewise constant function of the cluster index. The optimal control law with respect to a cost function can be determined using a control-oriented CROM. The performance of each control law is evaluated with
+
+J = Jr + Jb = R(t) T + b2(t) T
+
+(13)
+
+where the penalization coefficient is   11 for an equal weighting of the control objective and the input energy. We refer to [76] for details on the specific control approach and results.
+
+4.2.1. Sensor placement for cluster classification
+In this section, placement of sparse sensors for the purpose of classifying the full-state velocity fields into clusters is examined for the partitioned dataset described in the previous section. The flow switches smoothly between the unforced and controlled flow states. The data is clustered into a larger number of clusters compared with the previous example to resolve the probabilistic dynamics in the state space (we refer to [3] and [76] for details). As flow states arising from the system with and without actuation may occupy the same cluster, classification from few measurements is considerably more difficult. All 8567 spatial points are considered as potential sensor locations with discrimination between streamwise and transverse velocity components, thus there exist 17134 potential sensor locations in total. The first Nf  20 POD features are considered, representing about 90% of the fluctuation energy.
+Cross-validated accuracy of SSPOC sensors (see approach in Sec. 2.3) is shown in Fig. 18. The average accuracy of 95% does not change with increasing parameter , while the number of sensors decreases

+
+Figure 18: Classification results for Nc = 10 clusters where  is varied between 0 and 106. The accuracy in (a) appears to be independent of , even though the number of sensors (b) decreases. The number of sensors saturates at about  = 102 with Ns  130.

Except for case (c), where the accuracy is plotted over the number of features Nf , in all other cases the accuracy is shown as a function of the number of sensors Ns. Mean accuracy and its standard deviation are shown in solid and dashed lines, respectively. Both, SSPOC and QRcp yield better accuracy than random sensors and saturate at Ns  50. In contrast to QRcp, SSPOC performs better if using fewer sensors and shows a smaller standard deviation in accuracy.
+saturating at about  = 100 with Ns  130 learned sensors on average (corresponding to about 0.76% of all potential sensor locations and 1.5% of the grid points).
+For a fixed , the number of sensors can be further tuned by adapting the number of features Nf . Cross-validated accuracy for SSPOC with fixed  = 100 is presented in Fig. 19. These results are compared to random sensors, full-state feature sensors, and sensors learned using QRcp. SSPOC results for varying  from Fig. 18 are also rearranged and shown with respect to the number of sensors (Fig. 19(e)). Sensors learned using SSPOC or QRcp generally yield a better accuracy than random sensors. Both reach a plateau of about 93% for Ns  50 sensors, corresponding to about 0.29% of all potential sensor locations. SSPOC sensors significantly outperform QRcp sensors for few sensors in the range of 10 < Ns < 40. Misclassification mainly occurs close to the cluster borders, which are defined by half of the distance between neighboring centroids. These clear cluster borders become fuzzy in the sensor space. Classification accuracy is increased by re-training the LDA classifier on the learned sensors, which generally performs better than classification based on re-trained centroids.
+Sensors should be placed in sensitive regions capable of discriminating between different clusters. The probability distribution that a SSPOC sensor is placed in a particular location is displayed in Fig. 20, with the streamwise and transverse components plotted separately. Most sensors are placed in the recirculation region and further downstream; most of the upstream sensors are placed closely behind the separation point

+region (separation point is xnspat  6 for the unforced and xpsperiodic  3.5 for the periodically forced flow). The favored sensor locations are different for the two velocity components: The transverse velocity sensors are mainly placed along the lines associated with the convecting vortex cores, which can be close to the wall, when the flow locks in to the excitation frequency, or farther away for the unforced flow. In contrast, the streamwise velocity sensors are placed close to the wall inside the boundary layer and (less frequently) along the convection lines of the vortex cores associated with the unforced flow. The clusters contain kinematically similar snapshots, thus snapshots belonging to the same cluster exhibit a similar phase. However, a cluster may also contain snapshots from both the forced and unforced flows, as the transition occurs smoothly and the partitioning is coarse. Thus, sensors are placed where both the unforced and controlled flows exhibit distinct features that discriminate the clusters. The aforementioned sensor locations are arguably the most sensitive regions, as these capture (1) whether the flow shows features from the forced or unforced flow, (2) to which phase bin the flow corresponds, and (3) the extent of the instantaneous recirculation area.
+In Fig. 21, distributions are shown for random sensors, SSPOC sensors with varying  (the same as in Fig. 19 to facilitate the comparison), SSPOC sensors with varying features, and QRcp sensors. QRcp shows a similar preference as SSPOC for placing streamwise sensors in the boundary layer and transverse sensors along the line associated with the convected vortex cores. Despite the similarities between SSPOC and QRcp, there are also important differences. While SSPOC sensors are confined to a limited region downstream of the ramp, QRcp sensors are more distributed, showing a smaller preference in particular sensor locations. Moreover, QRcp places (few) streamwise velocity sensors at the leading edge of the plate, which do not contain information on the flow separation but instead measure non-physical behavior: The leading edge corner is approximated with only a few vertices, leading to numerical inaccuracies at that location. Nevertheless, QRcp also places streamwise velocity sensors around 1  x  1.5. These sensors capture disturbances introduced by the actuator located at x = 1 that affect the flow behavior downstream.
+4.2.2. Comparing full-state and sparse sensors for control In this section, the performance of the best CROM-based control law using partial-information sensors is
+compared with full-state feature sensors employed in [76]. As the goal is optimization of the best open-loop periodic forcing, the considered feature space is the subspace spanned by the first Nf = 10 POD modes

+full-state feature sensors, and QRcp sensors are compared in Fig. 23. Both SSPOC and QRcp yield better sensors than choosing random sensor locations. Since the maximum number of features is Nf = 10, at most Ns = 10 sensors can be determined using QRcp. The accuracy using SSPOC saturates at about 80% with Ns  20 sensors, having the largest gain with respect to random measurements. The full-state sensor accuracy decreases with increasing Nf > 4 due to overfitting. The employed classifier relies on the discriminating directions found by LDA, while the true classification is based on the nearest cluster centroids.
+A comparison of the distribution of sensor locations is displayed in Fig. 24. Note that the distribution of random sensors is not included, as it is similar to Fig. 21(a). Sensors learned using either SSPOC or QRcp have a clear location preference analogous to the results in Fig. 21, despite restricting the feature space to a subspace. Note that the reduction of the number of features also decreases the number of sensors placed, thus yielding fewer dominant sensor locations.
+In the following, the performance of the optimal control law determined from the control-dependent 22

The sensor locations are discriminated with respect to the streamwise (�) and transverse (�) velocity component. Note that in both cases the majority of sensors measures only the transverse velocity component.
+Figure 26: Performance results of cluster-based control laws. The best CROM-based control law (b2) performs similarly well using only (b5) Ns = 42 or (b6) Ns = 20 sensors. The difference in the performance (a) originates from misclassification due to the unfiltered sensor signal. Both sensor-based control cases collapse with the full-state control when considering the overall performance (b).
+CROM for this configuration is examined using only information from the learned sensors. Two particular cases are considered (see Fig. 23): (A) those SSPOC sensors that achieve the best accuracy among all cases for  = 10, and (B) using the best case for Ns = 20 and  = 10, which yields the largest gain compared to random sensors, the latter achieving a similar accuracy with about Ns = 80 sensors. The distribution of sensors (red and blue circles) is displayed in Fig. 25 with an instantaneous vorticity realization as the background. For Ns = 42, most sensors measure the transverse velocity component and aggregate in the recirculation zone behind the backward-facing ramp or are distributed along the line the vortices associated with the forced flow are convected. The clustering of sensors in distinct regions suggests that fewer sensors could be sufficient to obtain similar information. In comparison with Ns = 20, the number of sensors is considerably reduced in x  [4, 5] and x  7.
+Performance results of all evaluated control laws are displayed in Fig. 26. All control laws are sorted with respect to their performance J. Particular cases are highlighted: (b1) the natural flow, (b2) the optimal control law determined with CROM using full-state POD feature sensors, (b3) the overall best control law determined with a brute-force search, (b4) the best periodic forcing as reference, (b5) the best CROM-based control law from (b2) where classification is based on case `A' sensors (Ns = 42), and (b6) similar like (b5) but for case `B' sensors (Ns = 20). The difference between the full-state controller and the sensor-based controller shown in Fig. 26(left) is due to the misclassification resulting from the unfiltered sensor signals. Nevertheless, all three cases (b2), (b5), and (b6) show a similar overall performance (compare Fig. 26(b)).

The accuracy in (a) appears to be independent of , even though the number of sensors (b) decreases. The number of sensors saturates at about  = 101 with Ns  250.
+In conclusion, SSPOC has found few optimized sensor locations that perform equally well for control as full-state measurements. More generally, SSPOC sensors outperform random sensors and perform equally well or better than QRcp sensors. If enough random sensors are employed, these faithfully preserve the cluster geometry and can achieve a similar accuracy.
+4.3. Mixing layer with different dynamical regimes In this section, sensor placement is optimized for a two-dimensional mixing layer flow undergoing vortex
+pairing. The flow exhibits the typical roll-up of vortices arising from the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability and vortex pairing further downstream. This example is motivated by previous work [3], in which CROM identifies two dynamical regimes associated with different wavenumbers and a particular cluster that acts as a switch between these regimes (depicted in Fig. 1). The velocity ratio is r = U1/U2 = 3 where U1 and U2 denote the upper (fast) and lower (slow) stream velocities, respectively. The Reynolds number is Re = U  = 500 based on the velocity difference U = U1 - U2, the initial vorticity thickness , and the kinematic viscosity ; the Mach number is M a = 0.3. We employ an ensemble of M = 667 snapshots with a sampling time of 3t, non-dimensionalized with respect to U1 and . The computational domain is 140 long and 56 high with increasing spatial resolution in the mixing region. Details of the finitedifference Navier-Stokes solver and the configuration can be found in [83] and [84]. An instantaneous vorticity realization of the flow is shown in Fig. 27. There exist Nxy  1.5 � 106 potential sensor locations. This highdimensionality results in a computationally expensive optimization problem. Therefore, instead of using the full data, the data is randomly subsampled, and then POD is applied to this subset of measurements. Specifically, a random 1% of the data is selected, reducing the number of potential sensors to N  1.5 � 104. Further, SSPOC sensors are only trained on the first Nf = 40 POD features (see Appendix A for an analysis of CROM's dependency on the number of features).
+The mean and standard deviation of the cross-validated accuracy for SSPOC sensors are shown in Fig. 28. We compare two classifiers: (1) the nearest-centroid method applied in the subspace spanned by the LDA discriminating directions {w^ i}Ni=c1-1, which will be denoted by `NCM-w', and (2) the nearest-centroid method applied to the cluster centroids {c^k}Nk=c 1 in the sensor space, which is denoted by `NCM-c'. Although not

+shown, in the previous examples NCM-w generally outperformed NCM-c. However, sensors learned on heavily subsampled data for the mixing layer perform better using the latter approach, on average by 10 - 20%.
+Classification performance is compared using NCM-w (see Fig. 29(a)) and NCM-c (see Fig. 29(b)) for sensors learned from SSPOC on 1% subsampled data for a fixed , a random selection of sensors, full-state feature sensors using a varying number of features Nf , and sensors determined using QR with column pivoting (without subsampling). The SSPOC results from Fig. 28 are also rearranged with respect to the number of sensors, and shown in Fig. 29 (SSPOC Nf = 40). A general observation is that the accuracy of random sensors can be increased by using NCM-w for classification. For fewer sensors, clusters tend to merge and overlap, which impedes their discrimination based on cluster centroids. In contrast, LDA finds those features in sensor space that are most discriminating, increasing the performance. However, this is not true for all cases examined, particularly because LDA suffers from overfitting in contrast to the cluster centroids. Subsampled SSPOC sensors perform equally well compared with random sensors if the classification is based on NCM-w, but outperform random sensors if NCM-c is employed. Further, if the number of sensors exceeds Ns > 130, SSPOC sensors using NCM-c perform better than random sensors using NCM-w. Despite being trained on only a random 1% of the data, SSPOC sensors yield a similar accuracy as QRcp sensors trained on 100%, if Ns  200 and classification is based on NCM-c. QRcp sensors achieve the largest gain for Ns  80 sensors independent of the classification method. The general decline of accuracy after Ns > 100 in Fig. 29(a) is associated with overfitting. The strong effect of overfitting can also be observed for full-state feature sensors using NCM-w, where the accuracy decays rapidly starting at Nf  20. In contrast, full-state features converge to 100% accuracy based on the cluster centroids.
+The distribution of selected sensor locations for each method is displayed in Fig. 30. In both cases, SSPOC and QRcp sensors show a similar distribution with placement preference in the initial region where the shear layer instability develops. Clusters represent different phases but also discriminate the different dynamical regimes, where the flow is either governed by vortex shedding or dominated by vortex pairing. The distributions suggest that the initial instability region is critical for the discrimination of the clusters.
+For a better assessment, we show the sensor locations (see Fig. 31) found using SSPOC for the best case based on NCM-c. This set of 262 sensors, which corresponds to about 0.017% of all grid points, achieved the highest accuracy of 91%. Sensors are placed inside vortices and along the filaments, distributed along the direction of convection. Although the width of the shear layer is larger, sensors are restricted to a more confined region. Analogous to the growth of the mixing region, the spreading of the sensors in the transverse direction increases downstream with the streamwise direction. Note that the reason for the seemingly continuous distribution in the streamwise direction is that the flow is convective, similar to the separating flow and in contrast to the periodic double gyre.
+To analyze the effect of the number of sensors, we present three cases with decreasing number of sensors in Fig. 32. Sensors are sorted with respect to their streamwise location. Thus, the time history in

+
+Fig. 32(a) depicts the convection of the vortices (dark lines corresponding to maximum measured vorticity

+value). SSPOC sensors are only trained on the first Nf = 40 POD features, thus we compare the follow-
+
+ing measurements: the fluctuating part of measurements denoted by y, its reconstruction using only those
+
+modes yN40, where yN40 = uN40 with uN40 =
+

+aii,
+
+and

+
+is computed analogously. Two particular sensor locations, exhibiting the maximum and minimum variance
+
+in the considered set of sensors, are selected and the corresponding time history of y, yN40, and yN>40 are displayed in Fig. 32(b) and (c), respectively. The superscript `min' and `max' in Fig. 32(b) and (c) refer to
+
+the two selected sensors. The accuracy can be increased by up to 12% using NCM-c and up to 30% using
+
+NCM-w for those cases shown in Fig. 32 and Fig. 31, if filtered measurements yN40 are considered. The influence of the number of sensors becomes evident when comparing the cluster affiliation of the observa-
+
+tions in the subspace spanned by the LDA discriminating vectors, as shown in Fig. 32(d). With decreasing
+
+number of sensors, clusters tend to merge and overlap, making the classification task more difficult.
+
+Summarizing, for very high-dimensional systems it may be necessary to subsample the data on which
+
+sensors are trained. SSPOC sensors outperform random sensors when using the nearest-centroid method
+
+based on the cluster centroids. QR with column pivoting is computationally more efficient than solving the
+
+optimization problem, thus QRcp sensors can be trained on full-state data and using more features even
+
+for very high-dimensional systems. Generally, sensors are placed where they are most informative for the
+
+cluster discrimination, along the vortical structures in the direction of the convection.

+5. Conclusion
+Reduced-order models are of growing importance in a broad range of scientific applications as they enable simulations of large-scale engineering systems for design, optimization, and control thought impossible only a decade ago [2]. The success of ROMs centers on two key innovations: (i) many complex systems exhibit lowdimensional dynamics [85] so that high-dimensional system can be projected to a low-dimensional subspace in a principled way, and (ii) sparse sampling of the state space for interpolating the nonlinear terms required for the subspace projection. The low-rank embedding space for the ROM is typically computed via a POD reduction. The efficient projection of the nonlinearity to the POD subspace can be accomplished with gappy POD methods [86], which include the modern principled approaches of discrete empirical interpolation method [87, 88] and compressive sensing [89, 14, 7]. Although successful, the current POD-Galerkin method for producing a ROM has a number of important limitations, including that (i) the POD basis is expensive to compute and must be done in an offline manner, (ii) a nonlinear model is produced whose sensitivity to initial conditions make the ROM prediction only qualitative [90], and (iii) the standard POD-Galerkin timestepping algorithm is not robust and is prone to instability [90]. The nonlinear nature of standard ROMs
+27
+
+limits the mathematical machinery available for the objective of prediction and control. This suggests that alternatives to POD-Galerkin embeddings of the dynamics should be considered.
+There is a growing effort to represent nonlinear dynamics in a linear operator framework. This has motivated significant work on the infinite-dimensional Koopman and Perron-Frobenius operators. However, standard data-driven implementations, including dynamic mode decomposition for Koopman and UlamGalerkin methods for Perron-Frobenius, tend to result in high-dimensional models with their own associated challenges for computations and measurements. The recent cluster-based reduced-order model (CROM) framework provides an efficient low-dimensional representation of the Perron-Frobenius operator using a data-driven discretization of phase space into clusters, on which probabilistic dynamics evolve. Although the CROM is fundamentally low-dimensional, making it advantageous for real-time computations, uncertainty in the model grows with time so that data assimilation techniques must be incorporated. Because the clusters are typically defined in the ambient high-dimensional phase space, the data assimilation step is computationally expensive and relies on full-state data that may not be available in practical applications.
+In this work, we demonstrate the first algorithm that leverages sparse sensor selection for efficient operator-theoretic modeling of nonlinear systems, the so-called sparsity-enabled CROM. We first show that a sufficient, but small number of random measurements of the state embed the cluster geometry and preserve the probabilistic dynamics, relying on compressed sensing and the restricted isometry property. Further, we demonstrate the ability to learn a minimal set of optimized sensors that are tailored to the specific CROM and provide performance on par with the full high-dimensional CROM. These sparsity enabled innovations are demonstrated on three high-dimensional nonlinear fluid systems of increasing complexity, and in all cases optimized sensors outperform randomly chosen sensors. We also show that the sparsity enabled CROM can be used for closed-loop control, resulting in control performance that is similar to that of full-state CROM.
+The combination of sparsity promoting techniques with linear embeddings of nonlinear systems will become a key enabler for real-time estimation and control tasks because it overcomes many of the limitations of existing ROMs and/or linear operator models. A number of important future directions and extensions arise out of this work. First, it may be fruitful to explore not only selecting sparse sensor locations, but also which nonlinear measurements of the state are most informative for a Koopman or Perron-Frobenius embedding. The sparse sensor placement algorithm itself may also be modified to include more realistic cost functions that incorporate real costs associated with certain sensor locations and types; for example, sensors near the root of a wing may be less expensive than those at the tip, and sensors in the wake may be inadmissible. Finally, even though the sparse sensor optimization is an offline computation, it is currently prohibitively expensive for very high-dimensional state-spaces, such as that of the mixing layer, and further algorithmic developments are required to scale to larger problems.

+Appendix A. Model dependency on the number of features
+
+We examine the dependency of CROM on the number of features. Specifically, the errors in the transition probabilities are assessed when less features are considered for computing the cluster affiliation. For this purpose, in addition to the Jensen-Shannon divergence (JSD) defined in (9), we give an estimate of the maximal error based on the l1 norm:
+
+1 = max 
+
+with
+
+Nc
+
+j =
+
+|PiNj f - Qij |
+
+i=1

Transition probabilities are displayed in logarithmic scale ranging from zero probability ( ) to probability of 1 ( ). Both error measures vanish for Nf > 43 (�) irrespective of the clustering.
+where PNf = (PiNj f ) is the transition matrix recomputed using Nf features, and Q = (Qij) denotes the transition matrix based on all features. The following steps are employed for calculating PNf : (1) CROM is computed from compressed data using POD as explained in Sec. 2.1. This affiliates each mth observation with a label, {Lm}M m=1, and yields the transition matrix Q. For this step, all POD features are considered. (2) The cluster affiliation is recomputed based on a reduced number of features. This relies on recomputed cluster centroids using the dominant Nf POD coefficients. (3) The transition matrix is recomputed based on the cluster affiliation in step (2). Example transition matrices and the error measures are displayed in Fig. A.33. In Fig. A.33(a), it is observed that as the number of features increases, the transition matrix converges to that obtained using all features. Both JSD and 1 rapidly decay and vanish for Nf > 43 (see Fig. A.33(b)). The error measures, and particularly the minimum number of features to achieve zero error, do not depend significantly on the clustering (compare Fig. A.33(c)).

+RANK STRUCTURED APPROXIMATION METHOD FOR QUASI�PERIODIC ELLIPTIC PROBLEMS
+B. KHOROMSKIJ AND S. REPIN

+arXiv:1701.00039v1 [math.NA] 31 Dec 2016
+
+Abstract. We consider an iteration method for solving an elliptic type boundary value problem Au = f , where a positive definite operator A is generated by a quasi�periodic structure with rapidly changing coefficients (typical period is characterized by a small parameter ) . The method is based on using a simpler operator A0 (inversion of A0 is much simpler than inversion of A), which can be viewed as a preconditioner for A. We prove contraction of the iteration method and establish explicit estimates of the contraction factor q. Certainly the value of q depends on the difference between A and A0. For typical quasi�periodic structures, we establish simple relations that suggest an optimal A0 (in a selected set of "simple" structures) and compute the corresponding contraction factor. Further, this allows us to deduce fully computable two�sided a posteriori estimates able to control numerical solutions on any iteration. The method is especially efficient if the coefficients of A admit low rank representations and algebraic operations are performed in tensor structured formats. Under moderate assumptions the storage and solution complexity of our approach depends only weakly (merely linear-logarithmically) on the frequency parameter 1/ , providing the FEM approximation of the order of O( 1+p), p > 0.

+
+1. Introduction
+
+Problems with periodic and quasi�periodic structures arise in various natural sciences models and technical applications. Quantitative analysis of such problems requires special methods oriented towards their specific features. For perfectly periodic structures, efficient methods are developed within the framework of the homogenization theory (see, e.g., [1, 3, 6] and other literature cited therein). However, classical homogenization methods cover only one class of problems (all cells are self similar and the amount of cells is very large). In this paper, we use a different idea and suggest another modus operandi for quantitative analysis of boundary value problems with periodic and quasi�periodic coefficients. It generates approximations converging (in the energy space) to the exact solution and provides guaranteed and computable error estimates. The approach is applicable to (see, e.g., Fig. 1.1, 1.2)
+(1) periodic structures, in which the amount of cell is considerable (e.g. 103�104) but not large enough to neglect the error generated by the respective homogenized model;
+(2) quasi�periodic structures that contain cells with defects and deformations; (3) multi�periodic structures where the coefficients reflect combined effect of several func-
+tions with different periodicity.
+In general terms, the idea of the method is as follows. We consider the problem P
+
+(1.1)
+
+Au = f, f  V ,
+1
+
+2
+
+B. KHOROMSKIJ AND S. REPIN
+
+where V is a reflexive Banach space with the norm � V , V  is the space conjugate to V (the respective duality pairing is denoted by < v, v >), and A : V  V  is a bounded linear operator. It is assumed that the operator A is positive definite and invertible, so that the problem (1.1) is well posed. However, P is viewed as a very difficult problem because A is generated by a complicated physical structure, which may contain a huge amount details. Therefore, attempts to solve (1.1) numerically by standard methods may lead to enormous expenditures. Similar difficulties arise if we wish to verify the quality of a numerical solution.
+Assume that the operator A is approximated by a simplified positive definite operator A and the inversion of A is much simpler than inversion of A. By means of A, we construct an iteration method based on solving a "simple" problem P0: Au = g. In other words, the method is based on the operation g  A- 1g. It also includes the operation v  Av, which can be performed very efficiently by tensor type decomposition methods provided that physical structures generated A have low rank representations. We prove that iterations generate a sequence of functions converging to the exact solution of (1.1) with a geometrical rate. Furthermore, we deduce explicitly computable and guaranteed a posteriori error estimates adapted to this class of problems. They evaluate the accuracy of approximations computed on each step of the iteration algorithm. These estimates also use only inversion of A and operations of the type v  Av. In the iteration methods and error estimates inversion of the operator A is avoided.
+In the paper, we consider one class of problems associated with divergent type elliptic equations where A = QQ and A = QQ. Here  : Y  Y is a bounded operator induced by a complicated quasi�periodic structure while Q : V  Y and Q : Y  V  are conjugate operators, i.e.,
+
+(1.2)
+
+(y, Qw) =< Qy, w > y  Y and w  V,
+
+where Y is a Hilbert space with the scalar product (�, �) and the norm � . The operators Q and Q are induced by differential operators or certain finite dimensional approximations
+of them. Henceforth, it is assumed that f  V, where V is a Hilbert space with the scalar product (�, �)V. This space is intermediate between V and V , i.e., V  V  V .
+The operator A = QQ contains the operator  generated by a simplified structure. We assume that the operators  and  are Hermitiam (i.e., (y, z) = (y, z) and (y, z) = (y, z)) and satisfy the conditions
+
+(1.3) (1.4)
+
+ y 2  (y, y)   y 2 y  Y,  y 2  (y, y)   y 2,  < .
+
+Then, the structural operators  and  are spectrally equivalent
+
+(1.5)
+
+c1(y, y)  (y, y)  c2(y, y),
+
+where the constants are the minimal and maximal eigenvalues of the generalized spectral
+
+problem
+
+y - �y
+
+= 0.
+
+Obviously,
+
+they
+
+satisfy
+
+the
+
+estimates
+
+c1
+
+
+
+ 
+
+and
+
+c2
+
+
+
+ 
+
+(which
+
+may be rather coarse).
+
+Concerning the operator Q, we assume that there exists a positive constant c such that
+
+(1.6)
+
+Qw  c w V w  V.
+
+Generalized solutions of the problems P and P0 are defined by the variational identities
+
+(1.7)
+

+

+

+
+and
+
+(1.8)
+
+(Qu0, Qw) =< f , w >  w  V.
+
+In Sect. 2, we show that a sequence {uk} converging to u in V can be constructed by solving
+problems (1.8) with specially constructed right hand sides fk generated by the residual of (1.7). In proving convergence, the key issue is analysis of the spectral radius of the operator
+
+(1.9)
+
+B := I - - 1,
+
+and selection of such relaxation parameter  that provides the best convergence rate. More-
+
+over, iteration procedures of such a type become contracting if the iteration parameter is
+
+properly selected. This fact is often used in proving analytical results (e.g., see [25], where
+
+classical results on existence and uniqueness of a variational inequality has been established
+
+by contraction arguments ). Also, these ideas were used in construction of various numer-
+
+ical methods (see, e.g., [10]). However, achieving our goals requires more than the fact of
+
+contraction. We need explicit and realistic estimates of the contraction factor (which are
+
+used in error analysis) and a practical method of finding  with minimal q. The latter task leads to a special optimization problem that defines the most efficient "simplified" operator
+
+among a certain class of "admissible" . These questions are studied in Sect. 3. In general,  and  can be induced by scalar, vector, and tensors functions. We show that selection of the optimal structural operator  is reduced to a special interpolation type problem, which is purely algebraical and does not require solving a differential problem (therefore
+
+selection of a suitable  can be done a priori). We discuss several examples and suggest the corresponding optimal (or quasi optimal) , which guarantees convergence of the iteration sequence with explicitly known contraction factor.
+
+Now, it is worth saying about the main differences between our approach and the classical
+
+homogenization method developed for regular periodic structures. This method operates
+
+with a homogenized boundary value problem QHQ uH = f , where H is defined by means of an auxiliary problem with periodical boundary conditions in the cell of periodicity. The
+
+respective solution uH contains an irremovable (modeling) error depending on the cell diam-
+eter . Moreover, if tends to zero, then typically uH converges to u only weakly (e.g., in L2). Getting a better convergence (e.g., in H1) requires certain corrections, which lead to
+
+other (more "corrected"
+
+complicated) boundary value solution ucH also contains an
+
+problems in the cell of periodicity. The respective error. Typically, the error is proportional to
+
+and can be neglected only if the amount of cells is very large. If our method is applied to
+
+perfectly periodical structures then setting  := H is one possible option. In this case, the homogenized operator (defined without correction procedures) is used for a different purpose:
+
+construction of a suitable preconditioning operator. The latter operator generates numerical
+
+solutions converging to the exact solution in the energy norm (i.e., the method is free from
+
+irremovable errors) and can be applied for a rather wide range of . In addition, the theory
+
+suggests other simpler ways of selecting suitable . In this context, it is interesting to know weather or not the choice  := H always yields minimal value of the contraction factor. In Sect. 3, we briefly discuss this question and present an example of that the best  may differ from H .
+In Sect. 4, we deduce a posteriori estimates that provide fully computable and guaran-
+
+teed estimates of the distance to the exact solution u for any numerical approximation uk,h
+
+4
+
+B. KHOROMSKIJ AND S. REPIN
+
+computed for an approximation subspace Vh. These estimates are established by combining functional type a posteriori estimates (see [31, 29, 32] and references cited therein) and estimates generated by the contraction property of the iteration method (see [30, 37]).
+The second part of the paper is devoted to a fast solution method for the basic iteration problem (2.1). The key idea consists of using tensor type representations for approximations, what is quite natural if both coefficients of the respective quasi�periodic structure and the right-hand side admit low rank tensor type representations. We notice that the amount of structures representable in terms of low rank formats is much larger than the amount of periodic structures covered by the homogenization method. The idea of tensor type approximations of partial differential equations traces back to [11]. In computational mechanics this method is known as the Kantorovich�Krylov (or extended Kantorovich) method. However, it is rarely used in modern numerical technologies, which are mainly based upon various finite element technologies. In part, this is due restrictions on the shape of the domain imposed by the Kantorovich method. Henceforth, we assume that the domain  satisfies these restrictions, i.e., it is a tensor type domain (e.g., rectangular) or a union of tensor type domains. Certainly, this fact induces some limitations, which however could be bypassed by known methods (coordinate transformation, domain decomposition, iso-geometric analysis, etc.).
+The recent tensor numerical methods for steady state and dynamical problems based on the advanced nonlinear tensor approximation algorithms have been developed in the last ten years. Literature survey on the modern tensor numerical methods for multi-dimensional PDEs can be found in [19, 21, 18]. In the context of problems considered in the paper, we are mainly concerned with another specific feature: very complicated material structure. In this case, direct application of standard finite element methods suffers from the necessity to account huge information encompassed in coefficients (especially in multi dimensional problems). We show that tensor type methods allow us to reduce computations to a collection of one dimensional problems, which can be solved very efficiently using low rank representations with the small storage requests. Similar ideas are applied for computing a posteriori error estimates.
+Section 5 discusses numerical aspects of the method and exposes several examples. Typical behavior of quasi-periodic coefficients is described by oscillation around constant, modulated oscillation around given smooth function, or oscillation around piecewise constant function.

+
+We show that specially constructed FEM type approximations of PDEs with slightly perturbed or regularly modulated periodic coefficients on d-fold n � � � � � n tensor grids in
+
+Rd may lead to the discretized algebraic equations with the low Kronecker rank stiffness matrix of size nd � nd, where n = O( 1 ) is proportional to the large frequency parameter 1/ .
+
+In this case the rank decomposition with respect to the d spacial variables is applied, such
+
+that the discrete solution can be calculated in the low-rank separable form, which requires
+

+

+
+representations
+
+which
+
+are
+
+mandatory for the traditional FEM techniques (the latter quickly leads to the bottleneck in
+
+case of small parameter > 0).
+
+The arising linear system of equations can be solved by preconditioned iteration with the
+
+simple preconditioner , such that the storage and numerical costs scale almost linearly in the univariate discrete problem size n, i.e., they are estimated by
+
+O(dn logp( 1 ))
+
+1 O( ), p > 0,
+
+d
+
+where d is the spatial dimension. Numerical examples in Section 5 demonstrate the stable geometric convergence of the preconditioned CG (PCG) iteration with the preconditioner  and confirm the the low-rank approximate separable representation to the solution with respect to d spacial variables even in the case of complicated quasi-periodic coefficients.
+This approach is well suited for applying the quantized-TT (QTT) tensor approximation [20] to functions discretized on large tensor grids of size proportional to the frequency parameter, i.e. n = O(1/ ), as it was demonstrated in the previous paper [23] for the case d = 1. The use of tensor-structured preconditioned iteration with the adaptive QTT rank truncation may lead to the logarithmic complexity in the grid size, O(logp n), see [19, 21, 26] for the rank-truncated iterative methods, [15, 16, 14, 13] for various examples of the QTT tensor approximation to lattice structured systems, and [2] for tensor approximation of complicated functions with multiple cusps in Rd.
+In Section 6, we conclude with the discussion on further perspectives of the presented approach for 2D and 3D elliptic PDEs with quasi periodic coefficients.

+
+Let v  V and   R+. Consider the problem: find uv such that

+(Quv, Qw) = v(w) -  v(w) w  V,

+v(w) := (Qv, Qw)- < f, w >
+
+and
+
+ v
+
+(w)
+
+:=
+
+(Qv,
+
+Qw).
+
+Obviously, the right hand side of (2.1) is a bounded linear functional on V , so that this problem has a unique solution uv. Thus, we have a mapping T : V  V , which becomes a contraction if the parameter  is properly selected. Indeed, for any v1 and v2 in V , we obtain
+
+(2.2)
+
+(Q, Qw) = (Q - Q, Qw)) w  V,
+
+where u1 = Tv1, u2 = Tv2,  := v1 - v2, and  := u1 - u2. Hence

+
+ (B2Q, B2Q)1/2(Q, Q)1/2,
+
+where B is defined by (1.2). If  is selected such that
+
+(2.5)
+
+(B2Q, Q)  q2  2, for some q < 1,
+
+then (2.4) shows that T is a contractive mapping. It is not difficult to show that  satisfying (2.5) can be always found. Indeed, in view of

+
+(2.6) (B2Q, Q) = (Q, Q) - 2(Q, Q) + 2(- 1Q, Q)  (1 - 2c1)(Q, Q) + 2(- 1Q, Q).

+Since  and  are invertible with trivial kernels, � and y� are an eigenvalue and the respective eigenfunction of y� = �y� if and only if they are an eigenvalue and the eigenfunction of the problem - 1y� = �y�. This means that

+
+This relation yields a simple (but not very sharp) estimate of the contraction factor.
+

+
+It is interesting to compare these results with those generated by homogenized models in
+
+the case of perfectly periodic structures. For this purpose, we consider a simple 1-dimensional
+
+problem
+
+(au ) - f = 0 in (0, 1)
+
+with
+
+a(x) = a(1)(x) a(x) = a(2)(x)
+
+in 1 = (0, ), in 2 = (, 1),
+
+  (0, 1),
+
+where a(1)(x) is a perfectly periodical function attaining only two values a(1) (Lebesgue measure of this set is 1|1|, 1  (0, 1)) and a(1) (Lebesgue measure of this set is (1-1)|1|). Similarly, a(2)(x) is a perfectly periodical function attaining only two values a(2) (Lebesgue measure of this set is 2|2|, 2  (0, 1)) and a(2) (Lebesgue measure of this set is (1-2)|2|).
+Assume that the amount of periods is very large and, therefore, the homogenization method
+
+can be successfully applied. The corresponding homogenized problem has the following
+
+coefficients
+
+
+
+-1
+
+a(1) :=  1 
+
+1 a(1)(x) dx
+
+0
+
+in 1
+
+
+
+1
+
+-1
+
+and a(2) :=  1 1-
+
+1 a(2)(x) dx
+
+
+
+in 2.
+
+It is easy to see that
+
+a(1)
+
+=
+
+1a(1)
+
+a(1)a(1) + (1 - 1)a(1)
+
+
+
+(a(1), a(1)),
+
+a(2)
+
+=
+
+2a(2)
+
+a(2)a(2) + (1 - 2)a(2)
+
+
+
+(a(2), a(2))
+
+Hence
+
+a(2)
+
+min{a(1), a(2)}
+
+max{a(1), a(2)}
+
+a(1)  (1, 2), where 1 := max{a(1), a(2)} , 2 := min{a(1), a(2)} .
+
+It is clear that 1  1 and 2  2. Therefore, homogenized coefficients may not generate the best piece wise constant a, which produces the smallest contraction factor q.
+
+4. Error estimates
+4.1. General estimate. Since T is a contractive mapping, we can use the Ostrowski estimates (see [30, 37, 32]), which yield the estimate of the distance between v  V and the fixed point:
+
+(4.1)
+
+v-u  
+
+, 1 + q() 1 - q()
+
+,
+
+where := Tv - v .
+
+The is estimate cannot be directly applied because v := Tv is generally unknown (it is the exact solution of a boundary value problem). Instead, we must use a numerical approximation v (in our analysis, we impose no restrictions on the method by which the
+
+RANK STRUCTURED METHOD
+
+11
+
+function v  V was constructed). Thus, the difference  := v - v is a known function and the quantity  =   is directly computable. It is easy to see that
+
+(4.2)
+
+ - v - v   v - v    + v - v .
+
+To deduce a fully computable majorant of the norm v - v  we use the method suggested in [31, 32]. First, we rewrite (2.1) in the form
+
+(4.3)
+
+(Qv, Qw) = (Qv, Qw) -  (Qv, Qw)- < f, w > .
+
+For any y  Y and w  V0, we have
+
+(4.4) (Q(v - v), Qw) = (Q(v - v), Qw)) -  (Qv, Qw)- < f, w > = (Q(v - v) - Qv + y, Qw))- < Qy + f, w > .
+We estimate the first term in the right hand side of (4.4) as follows:
+
+(Q(v - v) - Qv + y, Q(v - v))) = (Q(v - v) - - 1Qv + - 1y, Q(v - v)))  Q(v - v) + , Q(v - v) + - 1 1/2 v - v ,
+
+where  := y - Qv. The second term meets the estimate
+
+< Qy + f, v - v >  |Qy + f | v - v
+
+
+
+1 ( )1/2
+
+|Qy
+
++
+
+f
+
+|
+
+v - v
+
+,
+
+where
+
+|w|
+
+=
+
+sup
+wV
+
+ w
+
+is
+
+the
+
+dual
+
+norm.
+
+Hence,
+
+(4.5)
+
+v - v   Q + , Q + - 1 1/2 +
+
+1 
+
+|Qy
+
++
+
+f |
+
+=:
+
+M(,
+
+ ).
+
+Notice that
+
+inf M(,  ) = v - v .
+yY
+Indeed, set y = Q(v - v) + Qv. Then,  = Q(v - v). In view of (4.3), Qy + f = 0, and the majorant is equal to v - v 2. Hence, the estimate (4.5) has no gap.
+It is worth noting that computation of the majorant M does not require inversion of the operator  associated with a complicated quasi�periodic problem.
+
+Remark 4.1. M(,  ) is an a posteriori error majorant of the functional type (its derivation is performed by purely functional methods based on generalized formulation of the boundary value problem and special properties of approximations or numerical method are not used). Properties of such type error majorants are well studied (see [31, 32] and the literature cited therein). It is not difficult to show that the last term of M(,  ) can be estimated via an explicitly computable quantity provided that y has the same regularity as the true flux. However, in our subsequent analysis these advanced forms of the majorant are not required. Therefore we omit this discussion (interested reader can find the respective analysis in [32]). Numerous tests performed for different boundary value problems have confirmed high practical efficiency of error majorants of the functional type. It was shown that M is a guaranteed and efficient majorant of the global error and generates good indicators of local errors if y is replaced by a certain numerical reconstruction of the exact dual solution. There are many
+
+12
+
+B. KHOROMSKIJ AND S. REPIN
+
+different ways to obtain suitable reconstructions (see [27] for a systematic discussion of computational aspects of this error estimation method). Error majorants of this type can be also used for the evaluation of modeling errors (see [35, 34]).
+
+Now, (4.1), (4.2), and (4.5) yield the following result
+
+Theorem 4.2. The error e = v - u is subject to the estimate
+
+(4.6)
+
+e
+
+max
+
+0,  - M(,  ) 1 + q()
+
+,  + M(,  ) 1 - q()
+
+,
+
+where  := y - Qv and y is a function in Y and M is defied by (4.5). If Qy + f = 0 then M2 (,  ) = (Q, Q) + (- 1,  ) - 2(Q,  ).
+
+4.2. Examples. Now we shortly discuss applications of Theorem 4.2 to problems, where Q
+and Q are defined by the operators  and div, respectively,  = a(x)I,  = a(x)I, x  ,
+
+and V =H 1().
+
+4.2.1. d = 1. Let  = (0, 1). The equation (1.1) has the form (a(x)u ) - f = 0. In this case, Qw = w , Qy = -y , and (4.3) is reduced to
+
+1
+
+1
+
+(4.7)
+
+a(v - v) w dx +  (av w + f w) dx = 0.
+
+0
+
+0
+
+In order to apply Theorem 4.2, we set y = (g(x) + �), where g(x) = -
+
+x 0
+
+f dx
+
+and
+
+�
+
+is
+
+a
+
+constant. Then -y - f = 0 and  = (g(x) + �) - av = (� + g - av ). The best constant
+
+� is defined by minimization of M2 (,  ), which has the form
+
+1
+
+(a()2 + a- 12(� + g - av )2 - 2(� + g - av )dx
+
+0
+
+Since
+
+1 0
+
+dx
+
+=
+
+0,
+
+the
+
+problem
+
+is
+
+reduced
+
+to
+
+minimization
+
+of
+
+the
+
+second
+
+term
+
+and
+
+the
+
+best
+
+1
+
+� satisfies the equation a- 1(� + g(x) - av )dx = 0. Hence
+
+0
+
+� = �� :=
+
+1 0
+
+a- 1(av
+
+1 0
+
+a- 1
+
+-g dx
+
+)dx
+
+,
+
+and (4.6) yields the estimate
+
+(4.8)
+
+e
+
+max
+
+0,  - I(v, v) 1 + q()
+
+,  + I(v, v) , 1 - q()
+
+where
+
+1 2
+I2 (v, v) = a- 1 a(v - v) - (�� + g - av ) dx.
+
+0
+Here v and v are two consequent numerical approximations (e.g., finite element approximations vhk and vhk+1 computed on a mesh Ih. Then
+ = hk := vhk - vhk+1 and  = k := vhk - vhk+1 
+

+contain highly oscillating coefficient a multiplied by piece wise polynomial mesh functions. If a has a low QTT rank tensor representation [20], then the integrals can be efficiently computed by tensor type methods already discussed in [23]. We have
+
+I2 (v, v) = F3 + 2G2 + 2F5 + 2(F4 - 2G3 + G4) =: k,
+
+�� = G1 - F2 . F1

+
+4.2.2. d = 2. Computation of M for 2d problems can be also reduced to the computation of one dimensional integrals. Certainly on the multidimensional case the amount of integrals is much larger. However the basic tensor decomposition methods remain the same. Below we briefly discuss them with the paradigm of a simple case where
+
+f = f (1)(x1)f (2)(x2) and a = a(1)(x1)a(2)(x2).
+
+Assume that approximations are represented in the form of series formed by one dimensional functions (i1) and (j2) (which may be supported locally or globally), so that
+
+n1 n2
+
+v=
+
+ij (i1) (x1 )(j2) (x2 ),
+
+i=1 j=1
+
+n1 n2
+
+v =
+
+ij (i1) (x1 )(j2) (x2 ).
+
+i=1 j=1
+
+In this case,
+
+ =
+
+n1 i=1
+
+n2 j=1
+
+ij
+
+(i1) x1
+
+(j2)
+
+,
+
+n1 i=1
+
+n2 j=1
+
+ij (i1)
+
+(j2) x2
+
+,
+
+where ij = ij - ij.
+
+We define another set of one dimensional functions Wk(1)(x1) and Wl(2)(x2), which form the vector function
+
+(4.9)
+
+m1 m2
+
+y = 0 +
+
+klkl,
+
+k=1 l=1
+
+kl =
+
+Wk(1)
+
+Wl(2) x2
+
+;
+
+-
+
+Wk(1) x1
+
+Wl(2)
+
+.
+
+Here 0 is a given function, which can be defined in different ways. In particular, we set
+
+0 =
+
+W0(1)(x1)W0(2)(x2) ; 0
+
+, W0(1)(x1) =
+
+x1 0
+
+f (1)dx1
+
+and
+
+W0(2)
+
+=
+
+-f (2).
+
+The
+
+functions
+
+kl
+
+must satisfy the usual linear independence conditions in order to guarantee unique solvability
+
+14
+
+B. KHOROMSKIJ AND S. REPIN
+
+of the respective approximation problem. For any smooth function w vanishing on , we have
+
+(0 � w - f w)dx1dx2 = 0 and kl � wdx1dx2 = 0.
+
+
+
+
+
+Thus, |Qy + f| = |divy - f| = 0 and we can use the simplified form of M. In the simplest case  = aI, where a is a constant. The best y minimizes the quantity
+
+(4.10) M2 (,  ) = a � dx + a- 1y � ydx + 2 a- 1a2v � vdx

+

+- 2 (a- 1av + ) � y dx + 2 a �  dx,
+
+
+

+=

+gs(1)gt(2),
+
+
+
+
+
+where Y = {Yklst} is the fourth order tensor. Hence the left hand side of the system (4.11) has the form Y + g(1)  g(2). In the right hand side we have the term
+
+aij
+
+
+(i1) x1
+
+(j2),
+
+(i1)
+
+(j2) x2
+
+� stdx1dx2 = aH,

+where H = {Hijst}, Hstij = Fi(s1)Fj(t2) - G(is1)G(j2t). Another term is

+(j2) x2
+
+� stdx1dx2 = H,

+where H = {Hijst}, Hstij = Fi(s1)Fj(t2) - G(is1)G(j2t). Now (4.11) implies  = Y-1(H + aH - g(1)  g(2)) and the value of M is obtained by
+(4.6), (4.9), and (4.10).
+
+5. Low-rank solution of the discrete equation
+
+In what follows we assume that f and a admit low rank representation (e.g.,
+
+f=
+
+Rf i=1
+
+f1i
+
+(x1
+
+)f2i(x2
+
+),
+
+a
+
+=
+
+Ra j=1
+
+aj1(x1
+
+)aj2(x2
+
+)).
+
+Then one may assume that the ex-
+
+act FEM solution can be well approximated by uK(x) =
+
+K j=1
+
+uj1(x1)uj2(x2),
+
+where
+
+K
+
+depends on the separation rank of f and a. In some cases this important property can be
+
+rigorously proven (say, for Laplacian like operators). The similar low rank approximation
+
+can be observed for the QTT tensor approximation (see [23]). Existence of low rank solution
+
+means that for some K we have uK  u up to the rank truncation threshold. Here we sketch the rank-structured computational scheme. In our set of examples the
+
+original problem: find u such that
+
+(5.1)
+
+a(x)u � w dx = f wdx w  V0 := H01
+
+
+
+
+
+is replaced by the Galerkin problem for low rank representations
+
+(5.2)
+
+a(x)uK � wK dx = f wdx wK  V0K,
+
+
+
+
+
+where V0K is a subset of V0 formed by functions of the type
+
+K
+wK(x) = j1(x1)j2(x2).
+j=1
+
+16
+
+B. KHOROMSKIJ AND S. REPIN
+
+Therefore, in terms of the general scheme exposed in the introduction, the Problem P is now the problem (5.2) and we solve it by iterations with the help of simplified (preconditioned) problem
+
+(5.3)
+
+a(x)uk � wK dx = fk-1wdx wK  V0K,
+
+
+
+
+
+where a is a simple (mean) function and fk-1 depends on uk-1. Given the right-hand side, the problem (5.3) is much simpler than the initial equation since
+the matrix , generated by the coefficient a is easily invertible. Moreover, the coefficient a may be rather complicated and admits a representation with rank R, i.e.,
+
+R
+a(x) = a(1s)(x1)...a(ds)(xd),
+s=1
+where R is a small integer. When we construct the low-rank Kronecker representation of
+stiffness matrix for this a, which is presented by elements of 4R matrices computed by only 1D integrals containing oscillating functions a(is)(xi).
+If we use (5.3), then a is a simple function, it may be a even a constant, or a function representable in the form a1(x1)...ad(xd) with very simple multipliers. Then, the respective Kronecker stiffness matrix  is computed much easier and has a simple (low rank) form that allows the low rank representation of its inverse.
+
+5.1. Kronecker product representation of the stiffness matrix. We consider the elliptic diffusion equation with quasi-periodic coefficient a(x) > 0 (whose oscillations are characterized by the parameter )
+(5.4) Au = -div(a(x)u) = f (x), x = (x1, . . . , xd)   = (0, 1)d, u| = 0,

+has the shape of six uniformly distributed bumps of hight 1 as shown in Figure 5.1, right. Figure 5.1, left, presents the oscillating part of 2D coefficients function, a1(x1)a1(x2).
+The examples of other possible shapes of the equation coefficient corresponding to the cases (1), (2) and (3) specified in Introduction are presented in Figures 1.1 and 1.2.
+We apply the FEM Galerkin discretization of equation (5.4) by means of tensor-product piecewise affine basis functions (instead of "linear finite elements")
+
+{i(x) := i1(x1) � � � id(xd)}, i = (i1, . . . , id), i  I = {1, . . . , n }, = 1, . . . , d,
+where ik are 1D finite element basis functions (say, piecewise linear hat functions). We associate the univariate basis functions with the uniform grid {j}, j = 1, . . . , n , on
+[0, 1] with the mesh size h = 1/(n + 1). In this construction we have N = n1n2...nd basis functions i. Notice that the univariate grid size n is of the order of n = O(1/ ) designating the total problem size N = O(1/ d).
+For ease of exposition we, first, consider the case d = 2, and further assume that the scalar diffusion coefficient a(x1, x2) can be represented in the form
+R
+a(x1, x2) = a(k1)(x1)a(k2)(x2) > 0
+k=1
+with a small rank parameter R. The N � N stiffness matrix is constructed by the standard mapping of the multi-index i
+into the N -long univariate index i representing all degrees of freedom. For instance, we use the so-called big-endian convention for d = 3 and d = 2
+
+i  i := i3 + (i2 - 1)n3 + (i1 - 1)n2n3, i  i := i2 + (i1 - 1)n2,
+
+respectively. Hence all matrices and vectors are defined on the long index i as usual, however,
+the special Kronecker structure allows the low-storage and low-complexity matrix vector
+multiplications when appropriate, i.e. when a vector also admits the low-rank Kronecker
+form representation. In particular, the basis function i is designated via the long index, i.e. i = i.
+First, we consider the simplest case R = 1 and let d = 2. We construct the Galerkin stiffness matrix A = [aij]  RN�N in the form of a sum of Kronecker products of small "univariate" matrices. Recall that given p1 � q1 matrix A and p2 � q2 matrix B, their Kronecker product is defined as a p1p2 � q1q2 matrix C via the block representation
+
+C = A  B = [aijB], i = 1, . . . , p1, j = 1, . . . , q1.
+
+We say that the Kronecker rank of the matrix A in the representation above equals to 1. Now the elements of Galerkin stiffness matrix take a form

+By simple algebraic transformations (e.g. by lamping of the tri-diagonal mass matrices, which does not effect the approximation order of the FEM discretization) the matrix A can be simplified to the form
+
+(5.6)
+
+A  A = A1  D2 + D1  A2,
+
+where D1, D2 are the diagonal matrices. The matrix A corresponds to the FEM discretization of the initial elliptic PDE with complicated highly oscillating coefficients.

+5.2. Existence of the low-rank solution. In this paper we discuss the approach based on the low rank separable -approximation of the solution to the equation (5.8) that is considered as the d-dimensional real valued array, u  Rn1׷���nd. In general, for the case R > 1 this favorable property is not guaranteed by the low Kronecker rank representation to the Galerkin system matrix A, discussed in the previous section.
+Let R = 1 and d = 2, the existence of the low rank approximation to the solution of the equation (5.8) with the low-rank right-hand side

+
+taking into account that the matrices A1 and A2 commute with I1 and I2, respectively. Hence, the equation (5.9) represents the accurate rank-(2M + 1) Kronecker product approximation to - 1 which can be applied directly to the right-hand side to obtain

+
+The numerical efficiency of the representation (5.9) can be explained by the fact that the quadrature parameters tk, ck can be chosen in such a way that the low Kronecker rank approximation BM converges to - 1 exponentially fast in M . For example, under the choice tk = ekh, ck = htk with h = / M there holds [8]

+- 1 - BM  Ce- M - 1 ,
+which means that the approximation error > 0 can be achieved with the number of terms RB = 2M + 1 of the order of RB = O(| log |2).

+Further enhancement of the tensor approximation can be based on the application of the quantized-TT (QTT) tensor approximation which has been already applied in [23] to the 1D equations with quasi-periodic coefficients. The power of QTT approximation method is due to the perfect low rank decompositions applied to the wide class of function-related tensors [20], see [23] for the more detailed discussion and a number of numerical examples.
+One can apply QTT approximations to problems with quasi periodic coefficients, which can be described by oscillation with smooth modulation around a constant value, oscillation around a given smooth function, or oscillation around piecewise constant function, see Figure 1.1 and examples in [23].
+Let the vector x  CN , N = 2L, be obtained by sampling a continuous function f  C[0, 1] (or even piecewise smooth functions), on the uniform grid of size N . For the following examples of univariate functions the explicit QTT-rank estimates of the corresponding QTT tensor representations are valid uniformly in the vector size N , see [20]: (A) r = 1 for complex exponentials, f (x) = eix,   R. (B) r = 2 for trigonometric functions, f (x) = sin x, f (x) = cos x,   R. (C) r  m + 1 for polynomials of degree m. (D) For a function f with the QTT-rank r0 modulated by another function g with the QTTrank r (say, step-type function, plain wave, polynomial) the QTT rank of a product f g is bounded by a multiple of r and r0,
+rankQT T (f g)  rankQT T (f )rankQT T (g).
+(E) Furthermore, the following result holds ([15]): QTT rank for the periodic amplification of a reference function on a unit cell to a rectangular lattice is of the same order as that for the reference function.
+The rank of the QTT tensor representation to the 1D Galerkin FEM matrix in the case of oscillating coefficients was discussed in [14, 23].

+Our iterative scheme includes only the matrix-vector multiplication with the stiffness matrix A that has the small Kronecker rank 2R, and the action of the preconditioner defined by the approximate inverse to the Laplacian type matrix. The latter has low Kronecker rank of order RB = O(| log |2) as shown above.
+Given rank-1 vector u = u1 u2, the standard property of the Kronecker product matrices
+Au = A1u1  M2u2 + M1u1  A2u2,
+indicates that the matrix-vector multiplication enlarges the initial rank by the factor of 2 and similar with action of preconditioner. Hence each iterative step should be supplemented with certain rank truncation procedure which can be implemented adaptively to the chosen approximation threshold or fixed bound on the rank parameter.

+
+Remark 5.1. Notice that for d = 3 the transformed matrix A takes a form A = A1  I2  I3 + I1  A2  I3 + I1  I2  A3,
+and it obeys the d-term Kronecker sum representation in the general. Hence, in the general case of d  2 and R  1 the Kronecker rank of the matrix A is given by
+rankKron(A) = d R.
+
+6. Conclusions
+We present a preconditioned iteration method for solving an elliptic type boundary value problem in Rd with the operator generated by a quasi�periodic structure with rapidly changing coefficients characterized by a small length parameter . We use tensor product FEM discretization that allows to approximate the stiffness matrix A in the form of low-rank Kronecker sum. The preconditioner A0 is constructed based on certain averaging (homogenization) procedure of the initial equation coefficients such that inversion of A0 is much simpler than inversion of A. We prove contraction of the iteration method and establish explicit estimates of the contraction factor q < 1. For typical quasi�periodic structures we deduce fully computable two�sided a posteriori estimates which are able to control numerical solutions on any iteration.
+We apply the tensor-structured approximation which is especially efficient if the equation coefficients admit low rank representations and algebraic operations are performed in tensor structured formats. Under moderate assumptions the storage and solution complexity of our approach depends only weakly (merely linear-logarithmically) on the frequency parameter 1/ . Numerical tests demonstrate that the FEM solution allows the accurate low rank separable approximation which is the basic prerequisite for application of the tensor numerical methods to the problems of geometric homogenization.
+The approach allows further enhancement based on the quantized-TT (QTT) tensor approximation which is the topic for future research work. Another direction is related to fully tensor structured implementation of the computable two�sided a posteriori error estimates.

+ABSTRACT
+We report the result from observations conducted with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) to detect [Cii] 158 �m fine structure line emission from galaxies embedded in one of the most spectacular Ly blobs (LABs) at z = 3.1, SSA22-LAB1. Of three dusty star-forming galaxies previously discovered by ALMA 860 �m dust continuum survey toward SSA22-LAB1, we detected the [Cii] line from one, LAB1-ALMA3 at z=3.0993�0.0004. No line emission was detected, associated with the other ALMA continuum sources or from three rest-frame UV/optical selected zspec  3.1 galaxies within the field of view. For LAB1-ALMA3, we find relatively bright [Cii] emission compared to the infrared luminosity (L[Cii]/LIR  0.01) and an extremely high [Cii] 158 �m and [Nii] 205 �m emission line ratio (L[Cii]/L[Nii] >55). The relatively strong [Cii] emission may be caused by abundant photodissociation regions and sub-solar metallicity, or by shock heating. The origin of the unusually strong [Cii] emission could be causally related to the location within the giant LAB, although the relationship between extended Ly emission and ISM conditions of associated galaxies is yet to be understand.

+1. INTRODUCTION
+Investigating the physical and chemical properties of the interstellar medium (ISM) of dusty star-forming galaxies and/or high-redshift galaxies has been difficult, as typical UV/optical nebular lines are not useful due to heavy dust extinction and/or the lines are not accessible with conventional ground-based instruments. Recently, the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) has opened a new window, allowing us to exploit fine structure lines at rest-frame farinfrared (FIR) wavelengths to diagnose the ISM properties for these galaxy populations (e.g., Nagao et al. 2012; Decarli et al. 2014; Inoue et al. 2016). The [Cii] 158 �m (2P3/2 2 P1/2) is known to be the dominant coolant of the ISM and one of the brightest lines from starforming galaxies in the FIR (e.g., Israel et al. 1996). While the [Cii] emission arises primarily from dense photodissociation regions (PDRs), it is also observed
+
+in various regions/environments, including ionized regions, cool, diffuse interstellar gas, and shocked gas (e.g., Stacey et al. 1991; Madden et al. 1993; Nagao et al. 2011; Appleton et al. 2013).
+In order to characterize the [Cii] emission and investigate the nature of the ISM in star-forming galaxies at high redshift, Ly blobs (LABs) are a useful laboratory. LABs are extended gaseous nebulae, preferentially found in regions of galaxy overdensities in the distant universe (e.g., Steidel et al. 2000; Matsuda et al. 2004; Yang et al. 2009). A large number of LABs are associated with star-forming galaxies such as submillimeter galaxies (SMGs; e.g., Geach et al. 2005, 2014; Umehata et al. 2015, 2016), distant red galaxies (DRGs; e.g., Erb et al. 2011; Uchimoto et al. 2012; Kubo et al. 2013), and Lyman break galaxies (LBGs; e.g., Matsuda et al. 2004). Thus LABs are likely to be the sites of ongoing massive galaxy formation and assembly, and the extended gaseous structures around

+them are believed to be observational signs of largescale gas flows (inflow/outflow) and their interactions as well as photoionization (e.g., Taniguchi & Shioya 2000; Mori & Umemura 2006; Dijkstra & Loeb 2009). SSA22LAB1 (hereafter LAB1, Steidel et al. 2000) is a giant LAB discovered in the z = 3.1 SSA22 proto-cluster region and one of the most well-studied LABs (e.g., Chapman et al. 2004; Geach et al. 2014; Hayes et al. 2011; Kubo et al. 2015). The unique environment makes LAB1 a useful laboratory for investigating the [Cii] emission from growing galaxies in the early universe. Throughout the paper, we adopt a cosmology with m = 0.3,  = 0.7, and H0=70 km s-1 Mpc-1.
+2. OBSERVATIONS AND DATA REDUCTION
+We observed LAB1 with ALMA in band 8 as a part of an ALMA cycle-2 program (ID: 2013.1.00159.S; PI: Umehata), targeting the [Cii] 158 �m transition (rest = 1900.537 GHz, redshifted to 463.55 GHz or 647 �m, at z = 3.100). As shown in Fig. 1, the field of view (FoV) at  464 GHz is large enough to cover the majority of the Ly emitting region (d  13.5 or  100 kpc at z = 3.1 ) and contains three 860 �m continuum ALMA sources: LAB1-ALMA1, LAB1-ALMA2, and LAB1ALMA3 (hereafter ALMA1, ALMA2, and ALMA3, respectively; Geach et al. 2016)1. ALMA3 is spatially coincident with a DRG at zspec = 3.1 (Kubo et al. 2015). While ALMA1 and ALMA2 do not have spectroscopic redshifts, their photometric redshifts and the low probability of chance association of ALMA sources suggest a physical association between the two ALMA sources and the giant Ly nebula (Uchimoto et al. 2012; Y. Matsuda et al. in preparation). Three other galaxies at zspec  3.1 (a LBG, a K-band selected galaxy, and a [Oiii] emitter) are also located within the band 8 FoV (Fig. 1).
+Observations were carried out on 16 June 2015 using a spectral scan mode with the FDM correlator
+1 ALMA1, ALMA2, and ALMA3 correspond to SSA22-LAB01 ALMA b, SSA22-LAB01 ALMA a, and SSA22-LAB01 ALMA c in Geach et al. (2016), respectively.
+
+mode to cover the redshift range of the proto-cluster, z = 3.06 - 3.12 (Matsuda et al. 2005). Among four planned spectral windows, only two were actually executed. The incomplete observation resulted in frequency coverage of 461.03�462.78 GHz and 462.91�464.66 GHz (z[Cii]=3.090�3.105, 3.107�3.122) after flagging the edge channels. The array configuration was C34-5 and the baseline lengths were 21�784 m. The on-source time was 4.5 minutes. Ceres was observed for amplitude calibration, and the quasar J2148+0657 was utilized for bandpass and phase calibration. The data were processed with the Common Astronomy Software Application (casa) ver. 4.4.0 (McMullin et al. 2007). The cube was first created with the natural weighting using the casa task, clean. The resultant cube (hereafter "full" cube) has a typical synthesized beam FWHM of 0.27 � 0.26 (P.A. 46 deg). We also created a "tapered" cube adopting the taper parameter, outertaper = 0.5 arcsec, which has a typical synthesized beam, 0.53 � 0.52 (P.A. -70 deg). The typical rms level is  3.5 mJy beam-1 at the phase center per 80 km s-1 channel in the tapered cube. To search for band 8 continuum sources, we created a "tapered" continuum map at 463 GHz, using the line-free channels. The "dirty" map has a rms level of 0.8 mJy beam-1 at the phase center and none of the sources is found above 5.
+LAB1 has also been observed by ALMA in band 7. One program (ID. 2013.1.00704.S; PI. Matsuda) covered the redshifted [Nii] 205 �m transition line (rest = 1461.131 GHz, redshifted to 356.37 GHz, at z = 3.100) (Y. Matsuda et al. in preparation). The typical noise rms at 0.55 resolution, which is equivalent to the "tapered" cube in band 8, is 0.4 mJy beam-1 at the phase center, per 80 km s-1 channel.

We also show the redshifts and errors determined from [Cii] (red lines) and [Oiii]/H (green lines) detections. Velocities are relative to the [Oiii]/H redshift (z = 3.1000 � 0.0003; Kubo et al. 2015). [Cii] emission from ALMA3 is detected at consistent redshift (z = 3.0993 � 0.0004) with FWHM of 270 � 30 km s-1. The velocity range used to create the images in Fig. 2 is indicated below the spectrum.
+has z = 3.0993 � 0.0004 with FWHM 275 � 30 km s-1. Kubo et al. (2015) reported a redshift of z = 3.1000 � 0.0003 on the basis of H and [Oiii] 5007 lines, and hence our measurement is consistent (the velocity offset is within  50 km s-1 and the two measurements are consistent within errors). Fig. 2 shows the velocityintegrated [Cii] intensity and velocity maps, compared to the rest-frame 210 �m continuum (Y. Matsuda et al. in preparation; Geach et al. 2016), HST STIS optical image2 (Chapman et al. 2003), and [Nii] image3. The [Cii] emission is spatially resolved as shown in Fig. 2a, while the [Cii] emission has a modest signal to noise ratio and the various clumps seen are not significant. The [Cii] velocity map (Fig. 2b) also shows complexity, which is not likely to be produced by a simple rotating disk. The position of [Cii] emission is generally consistent with those of dust continuum and stellar emission4.
+2 The image has a pivot wavelength of 5733 �A. 3 We created the [Nii] image, integrated the cube over the same velocity range of the [Cii] map. 4 There might be a small offset,  0.2, though the current data is insufficient to determine whether it is real.
+
+To describe the properties of [Cii] emission from the whole galaxy, we use the tapered map. A twodimensional elliptical Gaussian fit yields a deconvolved FWHM of (0.62 � 0.11) � (0.55 � 0.10), which corresponds to 4.8 � 4.3 kpc2. For comparison, we similarly measured the size of the dusty starburst core using the band 7 continuum image at 0.35 resolution. The yielded size is (0.53 � 0.14) � (0.40 � 0.12) (4.1 � 3.1 kpc2). The measured integrated line flux is I[Cii] = 16.8 � 2.1 Jy km s-1 and hence the line luminosity is L[Cii] = (5.7 � 0.7) � 109L (Table 1). The infrared (IR; 8-1000 �m) luminosity of ALMA3 is derived using an average SMG template from the ALESS survey (Swinbank et al. 2014) scaled to the 860 �m flux density, S860�m = 0.73 � 0.05 mJy (Geach et al. 2016); LIR  5.8 � 0.4 � 1011L, so that L[Cii]/LIR  0.010 � 0.001 (We note that the IR luminosity may have larger uncertainty. Geach et al. (2016) estimated it in the range LIR  (0.2-1.5)�1012L using varying templates.). We also derived the dynamical mass of ALMA3, Mdyn,vir  1.0 � 1011M, using an isotropic virial estimator (e.g., Engel et al. 2010) on the basis of the line width and [Cii] size (major axis measured from the FWHM).
+We also searched for [Nii] 205 �m emission from ALMA3, which resulted in non-detection (Fig. 2e). Utilizing the [Nii] map at 0.55 resolution, we obtained a 3 (point-source) upper limit on its line intensity, I[Nii] < 0.35 Jy km s-1 and thus L[Nii] < 9.4 � 107L, and L[Cii]/L[Nii] > 61. The [Nii] upper limit can slightly be relaxed when the [Nii] 205 �m emission has larger extent compared to the size of the synthesized beam. If we use the the other tapered [Nii] map at 0.64 resolution, which is comparable to the measured [Cii] size of ALMA3, we will have I[Nii] < 0.39 Jy km s-1, L[Nii] < 1.0 � 108L, and L[Cii]/L[Nii] > 55, respectively. In the following discussion, we adopt the latter conservatively.
+3.2. No [Cii] emission from the remaining LAB1 members
+Except for ALMA3, no emission line is found in the band 8 cube. For ALMA1 and ALMA2, we just calculate a tentative upper limit of [Cii] emission, assuming that the lines fall within our frequency coverage and the line widths are same as that of ALMA3. The IR lumi-

Since ALMA1 and ALMA2 don't have zspec, we estimated rough upper limits using the cube for ALMA3, assuming same redshifts and velocity widths. For C11, K1, and S1, we integrated the cube at the position in literatures over 300 km s-1 velocity range, and obtain 3 upper limits. References are: 1. This work, 2. Kubo et al. 2015, 3. McLinden et al. 2013, and 4. Geach et al. 2016.
+
+nosities of ALMA1 and ALMA2 are comparable to that of ALMA3 (LIR  3.5 � 1011L and LIR  4.0 � 1011L, respectively)5. Utilizing the intensity map for ALMA3, we obtained a 3 upper limit on their individual line intensity, I[Cii] < 2.3 Jy km s-1, and line luminosity, L[Cii] < 0.8 � 109L. Although this is just a crude estimate and zspec information is essential for further discussion, our result suggests that the L[Cii]/LIR of ALMA1 and ALMA2 may be different from that of ALMA3. We also evaluated 3 upper limits for the three rest-frame UV/optical galaxies with [Oiii] line detections, by integrating the cube over 300 km s-1 at the source position (Table 1).
+4. DISCUSSION AND SUMMARY
+One striking characteristic of ALMA3 is the high [Cii]� IR ratio seen in Fig. 4. While this ratio is known to decrease as IR luminosity increases ("[Cii] deficit") for local and high-redshift IR luminous galaxies (e.g., D�iaz-Santos et al. 2013), ALMA3 shows approximately an order of magnitude higher ratio (Fig. 4) at the same IR luminosity range (This trend is independent of the uncertainties on LIR described in �3.1. While the L[Cii]/LIR ratio may be  �3 lower, the increased corresponding LIR keeps the trend.). The result implies different conditions responsible for [Cii] emission between ALMA3 and the majority of previously known IR luminous galaxies. It has also been reported that some z  1 - 2 ULIRGs show L[Cii]/LIR ratios comparable to ALMA3, although they have slightly higher LIR than ALMA3 (Brisbin et al. 2015). One possible explanation for elevated [Cii]�IR ratios is that the galaxies host widely spread star formation, and the UV radiation field is therefore diluted, which make the [Cii] line a more efficient coolant (see e.g., Cicone et al. 2015; Brisbin et al. 2015, and references therein). The size of the dust continuum core in ALMA3 is 4.1 kpc, which is larger than a typical continuum size of bright SMGs at similar redshifts (2.4 kpc; Simpson et al. 2015; see also Ikarashi et al. 2015; Umehata et al. 2016). This supports that a relatively extended star-forming region in
+5 Geach et al. (2016) reported the sum of 860 �m flux density, S860�m = 0.95�0.04 mJy. We apportioned it between ALMA1 and ALMA2 according to their peak flux density at 0.35 resolution (Y. Matsuda et al. in preparation) and calculated IR luminosity in the same way for ALMA3.
+
+ALMA3 contributes the high [Cii]/IR ratio for ALMA3. Gas accretion from the cosmic web is expected to accumulate a large amount of molecular gas necessary to fuel such widespread star formation (Brisbin et al. 2015).
+We have another clue from the [Cii] 158 �m�[Nii] 205 �m line luminosity ratio, L[Cii]/L[Nii]. ALMA3 shows
+one of the largest ratios ever reported (Fig. 4). The L[Cii]/L[Nii] ratio has been utilized to diagnose the ISM conditions. In particular, it is used to evaluate global trend on the fraction of [Cii] emission associated with ionized regions (i.e. Hii regions; e.g., Oberst et al. 2006; Decarli et al. 2014; Pavesi et al. 2016), mainly because Nitrogen's ionization potential (14.5 eV) is higher than that of Hydrogen (13.6 eV) so that [Nii] arises only from ionized regions. Pavesi et al. (2016) reported the expected a line ratio L[Cii]/L[Nii]  3.5, for Hii regions with electron density of  10-1000 cm-3. If we adopt this estimate, it is expected that the contribution of ionized gas is only about 6% and the vast majority of [Cii] emission arises from the surface of dense PDRs and/or other regions/environments. The L[Cii]/L[Nii] ratio is also sen-
+sitive to estimate gas metallicity (e.g., Nagao et al. 2012; B�ethermin et al. 2016; Pavesi et al. 2016). Nagao et al. (2012) suggests that the line ratio increases as metallicity decreases, considering both PDRs and Hii regions in their model. The measured ratio, L[Cii]/L[Nii] > 55, favors sub-solar metallicity for the variety of densities and ionization parameters in their model. Gas accretion from the outside of ALMA3 may explain this relatively low metallicity. It is suggested that Nitrogen may dominantly be in its doubly ionized state in high ionization conditions with lower dust shielding (e.g., Pavesi et al. 2016). This effect is unlikely to be significant in ALMA3 because it is detected in dust continuum.
+Although it is not straightforward to identify the origin of [Cii] emission more, together with these clues, the properties and location of ALMA3 may support the importance of shock on the elevated [Cii] emission. Recently some work has suggested that mechanical heating due to turbulence in shocks can contribute to [Cii] emission at high redshift (e.g., Stacey et al. 2010; Lesaffre et al. 2013; Appleton et al. 2013; Brisbin et al. 2015). For instance, Appleton et al. (2013) reported that the resolved shocked regions of Stephan's Quintet have exceptionally high [Cii]�FIR ratio and they also suggest that this could be commonplace for high-redshift

+ALMA3 and the "upper limit" of LAB1-ALMA1 and ALMA2, assuming their redshifts lie within our [Cii] coverage (see text). We also mark local IR-luminous galaxies (D�iaz-Santos et al. 2013), the SMGs at z = 3  6 (Riechers et al. 2014 (R14); Decarli et al. 2014; De Breuck et al. 2014; Rawle et al. 2014; Gullberg et al. 2015 (G15)), LBGs at z = 5 - 6 (R14; Capak et al. 2015 (C15)), and z = 1  2 star-forming galaxies (including SMGs; Stacey et al. 2010 (S10); Brisbin et al. 2015 (B15)). ALMA3 shows high [Cii]-IR luminosity ratio, compared to other IR luminous galaxies with similar luminosity. Here we convert the IR luminosities in the literature, multiplying by the following factors: L8-1000�m /L42.5-122.5�m = 1.7, L8-1000�m /L42.5-500�m = 1.3.

+
+galaxies. Brisbin et al. (2015) suggested that a variety of shocks, originating from major-merger, intergalactic gas accretion, and stellar outflows, might contribute to the elevated [Cii] emission. ALMA3 shows complicated rest-frame UV morphologies and [Cii] velocity structures (Fig. 2), which is suggestive of galaxy-galaxy interaction (dust obscuration may also contribute to it). ALMA3 hosts intense star-formation activity, as the dust continuum detection shows, and appears to be a relatively evolved system with large stellar mass M  1011M (Kubo et al. 2015) comparable to the derived dynamical mass (we need to recognize both estimates contain large uncertainties). Therefore galactic outflow may interact with intergalactic gas stream (e.g., Cornuault et al. 2016). Thus shock heating might be a contributor of [Cii] emission from ALMA3.
+One key question is the role of environment, since ALMA3 is located within a giant LAB, SSA22-LAB1. LAB1 resides in a remarkable proto-cluster and is associated with a number of star-forming galaxies, which may reflect the abundant gas accretion from cosmic web. The overdensity of galaxies may lead a high frequency of galaxy-galaxy interaction. Therefore the unique environment might account for the relatively strong [Cii] line. On the other hand, if ALMA1 and ALMA2 are actually at redshifts similar to confirmed LAB1 members, the absence of detectable [Cii] would mean diversity of the ISM state within a LAB. While we detected the [Cii] line from a massive, dusty star-forming galaxy, much deeper observations of FIR lines like [Cii] and [Nii] toward a giant LAB at z  3, which allows us to assess the ISM state in UV/optical selected galaxies (e.g., LBGs like C11 in
+
+LAB1), is highly expected. Such surveys will give us an opportunity to estimate how the ISM in the galaxies evolve in biased regions in the early universe, through the comparison with other FIR line observations of galaxies in a biased region (e.g., AzTEC3 and LBG1 at z = 5.3; e.g., Riechers et al. 2014; Pavesi et al. 2016) or galaxies in general environment in the same era.

+STIRLING FUNCTIONS AND A GENERALIZATION OF WILSON'S THEOREM
+MATTHEW A WILLIAMS

+arXiv:1701.00044v1 [math.NT] 31 Dec 2016
+
+ABSTRACT. For positive integers m and n, denote S(m, n) as the associated Stirling number of the second kind and let z be a complex variable. In this paper, we introduce the Stirling functions S(m, n, z) which satisfy S(m, n, ) = S(m, n) for any  which lies in the zero set of a certain polynomial P(m,n)(z). For all real z, the solutions of S(m, n, z) = S(m, n) are computed and all real roots of the polynomial P(m,n)(z) are shown to be simple. Applying the properties of the Stirling functions, we investigate the divisibility of the numbers S(m, n) and then generalize Wilson's Theorem.
+
+PRELIMINARIES AND NOTATION
+
+For brevity, we will denote Z+ = N \ {0}, E = 2Z+ and O = Z+ \ E. If P is a univariate polynomial with real or complex coefficients, define Z(P ) = {z  C : P (z) = 0} and ZR(P ) = Z(P )  R. Throughout, it will be assumed that m, n  Z+ and d := m - n. In agreement with the notation of Riordan [3], s(m, n) and S(m, n) will denote the Stirling numbers of the first and second kinds, respectively. We will also use the notation B(m, n) = n!S(m, n). Although we are mainly concerned with the numbers S(m, n), one recalls that for z  C
+n
+(z)n = z(z - 1) � � � (z - n + 1) = s(n, k)zk.
+
+k=0
+
+Let p be prime. In connection to the divisibility of the numbers S(m, n), we will use the
+
+abbreviation n p m in place of n  m (mod p). Note that p(n) := max{  N : p | n}
+
+(p(n) is known as the p-adic valuation of n). If n =
+
+m k=0
+
+bk
+
+2k
+
+(bk
+
+
+
+{0, 1}, bm
+
+=
+
+1)
+
+is
+
+the binary expansion of n, let n2 denote the binary representation of n, written bm � � � b0,
+
+where (n2)k := bk and m is called the MSB position of n2. We will call an infinite or n � n
+
+square matrix A = [aij] Pascal if for every i, j,
+
+i+j
+
+i+j
+
+aij = j
+
+or aij = j (mod p).
+
+We note that if A  Nn�n is Pascal, then A is symmetric and det(A) p 1 [5]. Finally, for the sake of concision, we will make use of the map e : Z+  E such that
+
+e(n) =
+
+n if n  E n + 1 otherwise.
+
+Following these definitions, let us introduce the Stirling functions:
+
+(-1)d n S(m, n, z) =
+
+n (-1)k(z - k)m.
+
+n!
+
+k
+
+k=0
+
+It is known [1] that S(m, n, z) = S(m, n) if d  0. The aim of this paper is to show that
+
+d > 0 implies S(m, n, z) = S(m, n) for real z only if z  {0, n} (Corollary 3), to investigate
+

+
+the p-adic valuation and parity of the numbers S(m, n), and to formulate and prove a generalization of Wilson's Theorem (Proposition 14).
+
+1. THE REAL SOLUTIONS OF S(m, n, z) = S(m, n).
+
+We first observe a classical formula from combinatorics [1]:
+
+Theorem 1. The number of ways of partitioning a set of m elements into n nonempty subsets is given by
+
+(1)
+
+1n S(m, n) =
+
+n (-1)k(n - k)m.
+
+n!
+
+k
+
+k=0
+
+It was discovered independently by Ruiz [1,2] that
+
+(2)
+
+1n S(n, n) =
+n!
+
+n (-1)k(z - k)n k
+
+(z  R).
+
+k=0
+
+Indeed, (2) is an evident consequence of the Mean Value Theorem. Katsuura [1] noticed that (2) holds even if z is an arbitrary complex value, as did Vladimir Dragovic (independently). The following proposition extends (2) to the case d > 0.
+
+Proposition 1. The equation S(m, n, z) = S(m, n) holds for all z  C if d  0, and for only the roots of the polynomial
+
+d
+P(m,n)(z) =
+
+m S(m - j, n)(-z)j j
+
+j=1
+
+in the case d > 0.
+
+Proof. Let z  C. One easily verifies that
+
+1 n n (-1)k(z - k)m = 1 n n (-1)k m m zj(-k)m-j
+
+n!
+
+k
+
+n!

+
+j=0
+
+1 n n (-1)n-kkm-j (-z)j .
+
+n!
+
+k
+
+k=0
+
+In view of Theorem 1, we have by symmetry
+
+m
+(-1)d
+
+m
+
+j
+
+j=0
+
+(3)
+
+Hence by (3)
+

+

+

+

+(-1)d
+
+m S(m - j, n)(-z)j

+k=0

+j=0
+
+= (-1)d(S(m, n) + P(m,n)(z)).
+
+(4)
+
+S(m, n) = S(m, n, z) - P(m,n)(z).
+
+Now by the definition of P(m,n)(z) and (4), d  0 implies S(m, n) = S(m, n, z) for every z  C. Conversely, if d > 0, then P(m,n)(z) is of degree d and by (4) S(m, n) = S(m, n, z) holds for z  C if, and only if, z  Z(P(m,n)). This completes the proof.
+
+In contrast to the case d  0, we now have:
+

+
+FIGURE 1. Plots of P(m,1)(z) for 2  m  7.
+
+Corollary 1. If d > 0, there are at most d distinct complex numbers z  C such that S(m, n, z) = S(m, n).
+
+Proof. Noting that d > 0 implies deg(P(m,n)) = d, the Corollary follows by the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra.
+
+Remark 1. In view of the definition of P(m,n)(z), z = 0 is a root of this polynomial whenever d > 0. Proposition 1 then implies that S(m, n, 0) = S(m, n) for every m, n  Z+. Now if d  E, we have that
+
+1n S(m, n, n) =
+
+n (n - k)m = S(m, n)
+
+n!
+
+k
+
+k=0
+
+by Theorem 1. Thus, P(m,n)(n) = 0 whenever d  E by equation (4).
+
+The next series of Propositions provides the calculation of ZR(P(m,n)).
+
+Proposition 2. If d > 0, then the following assertions hold:
+
+(A) d  O implies z = 0 is a simple root of P(m,n)(z). (B) d  E implies z = 0 and z = n are simple roots of P(m,n)(z). (C) All real roots of P(m,n)(z) lie in [0, n].
+
+Proof. Note that by a formula due to Gould [3, Eqn. 2.57], we have
+
+n
+
+n (-1)k(z - k)m = d
+
+z-n B(m, n + j).

+
+Now by the above and equation (4), we obtain an expansion of P(m,n)(z) at z = n:
+
+(-1)d d z - n
+
+P(m,n)(z) =
+
+n!
+
+B(m, n + j) - S(m, n) j
+
+j=0
+

+= (-1)d
+
+n+j n
+
+S(m, n + j)(z - n)j + ((-1)d - 1)S(m, n)
+
+j=1
+
+(5)
+
+d
+= (-1)d
+
+d n + q S(m, n + q)s(q, j) (z - n)j + ((-1)d - 1)S(m, n).
+
+n
+
+j=1 q=j
+
+Let 1  j  d. We differentiate each side of (4) to get
+
+(6)
+
+P((mj),n)(z)
+
+=
+
+(-1)d(m)j n!
+
+n
+
+n (-1)k(z - k)m-j. k
+
+k=0
+
+We have by (6) and Theorem 1
+
+(7) P((mj),n)(0) = (-1)j(m)jS(m - j, n), P((mj),n)(n) = (-1)d(m)jS(m - j, n)
+
+hence (A) and (B) follow by Remark 1 and (7). Now, notice that applying (7) to (5) yields the convolution identity
+
+d n+q
+
+m
+
+(8)
+
+S(m, n + q)s(q, j) =
+
+S(m - j, n) (1  j  d).
+
+n
+
+j
+
+q=j
+
+Observing that P(m,n)(z) > 0 if z < 0, applying (8) to (5) yields
+
+z  (-, 0)  (n, )  |P(m,n)(z)| > 0.
+
+Assertion (C) is now established, and the proof is complete.
+
+As can be seen above, by (5) and (8) we have that
+
+P(m,n)(z) =
+
+d
+
+m S(m - j, n)(-z)j j
+
+j=1
+
+(9)
+
+= (-1)dP(m,n)(n - z) + ((-1)d - 1)S(m, n).
+
+Therefore, by (4) and (9), one obtains through successive differentiation:
+
+Proposition 3. Let d > 0 and k  Z+. Then, we have that S(k)(m, n, z) = P((mk),n)(z) = (-1)d-kP((mk),n)(n - z) = (-1)d-kS(k)(m, n, n - z).
+Thus, the derivatives of P(m,n)(z) and S(m, n, z) are symmetric about the point z = n/2. Further, the functions S(m, n, z) have the following recursive properties:
+
+Proposition 4. Let m, n  2, d > 0 and 1  k  d + 1. Then, we have: (A) S(m, n, z) = S(m - 1, n - 1, z - 1) - zS(m - 1, n, z) (B) S(k)(m, n, z) = (-1)k(m)kS(m - k, n, z).

+
+FIGURE 2. Plots of P(m,1)(z) and P(m,1)(1 - z) for m = 3, 5, 9. Note the symmetry about z = 1/2.
+
+Proof. It is easily verified that

+(-1)d n
+
+S(m, n, z) =
+

+

+
+k
+
+k=0
+
+= -zS(m - 1, n, z) + S(m - 1, n - 1, z - 1)
+
+which establishes (A). To obtain (B), differentiate the Stirling function S(m, n, z) k times and apply the definition of S(m - k, n, z).
+
+Remark 2. Let d > 0 and k  Z+. By Propositions 3 and 4B, we have that
+
+(10)
+
+(d - k)  O  P((mk),n)(n/2) = 0 = S(m - k, n, n/2).
+
+Now suppose (d - k)  E. In this case, Propositions 3 and 4B do not directly reveal the value of P((mk),n)(n/2). However, combined they imply a result concerning the sign (and more importantly, the absolute value) of P((mk),n)(z) if z  R. Consider that if d = m - 1,
+
+[S(m - k, 1, z) = zm-k - (z - 1)m-k > 0]  [z > z - 1] (z  R)
+
+since (m - k)  O. Proceeding inductively, we obtain:
+
+Proposition 5. Suppose d  E. Then, S(m, n, z) > 0 holds for every z  R.
+
+Proof. The Proposition clearly holds in the case n = 1. If also for n = N , let m be given which satisfies (m - (N + 1))  E. Set N + 1 = N . We expand S(m, N , z) at z = N /2 to obtain
+
+m-N S(j)(m, N , N /2)

+where each coefficient of the above expansion at z = N /2 is positive. Since m is arbitrary, the Proposition follows by induction.

+|P((mk),n)(z)| = (m)k|S(m - k, n, z)|. Noting S(m - k, n, z) > 0 if z  R by Proposition 5, the Corollary is proven.

+
+Remark 3. We now calculate ZR(P(m,n)) by Corollary 2 and the use of Rolle's Theorem. Sharpening Corollary 1, Proposition 6 (below) asserts that there are at most two distinct real solutions of the equation S(m, n, z) = S(m, n) if d > 0, dependent upon whether d  E or d  O. This result is in stark contrast to the Theorem of Ruiz, which has now been generalized to a complex variable (Proposition 1).
+Proposition 6. Let d > 0. Then, ZR(P(m,n))  {0, n}.
+Proof. By Proposition 2, we may assume d > 2. If d  E, Corollary 2 implies that |P (2)(m, n)(z)| > 0 (z  R).
+Hence |ZR(P(m,n))|  1. Proposition 2 now gives ZR(P(m,n)) = {0, n} (for otherwise, Rolle's Theorem assures |ZR(P(m,n))| > 1). Now if d  O, Corollary 2 yields
+|P(m,n)(z)| > 0 (z  R)
+and thus |ZR(P(m,n))|  1. We now conclude by Proposition 2 that ZR(P(m,n)) = {0}, which completes the proof.
+Corollary 3. If d > 0, the only possible real solutions of
+S(m, n, z) = S(m, n)
+are z = 0 and z = n. Moreover, for d > 2 there exist z  C \ R which satisfy the above.
+Proof. The first assertion is a consequence of Propositions 1 and 6. Now without loss, assume d > 2. By Propositions 2 and 6, there are at most two real roots of P(m,n)(z). Since we have that deg(P(m,n)) > 2, by the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra we obtain ZR(P(m,n)) Z(P(m,n)) which implies the existence of z  C \ R such that P(m,n)(z) = 0. The Corollary now follows by Proposition 1.
+
+2. SOME DIVISIBILITY PROPERTIES OF THE STIRLING NUMBERS OF THE SECOND KIND
+
+Let d > 0. By (10), we expand the Stirling functions S(m, n, z) at z = n/2 as follows:
+
+d/2 m
+
+n
+
+n 2j
+
+(13) d  E  S(m, n, z) =

+
+.
+
+j=0
+
+Now if d  E, (13) and Proposition 5 imply that S(m, n, z)  S(m, n, n/2) > 0 for every z  R. Conversely, if d  O, (14) implies that ZR(S(m, n, z)) = {n/2} (apply similar reasoning as that used in Proposition 6). Thus we introduce the numbers:
+
+v(m, n) := min |S(m, n, z)|.

+
+Using the formulas (15) and (16) combined with Proposition 7 (formulated below), we may deduce some divisibility properties of the numbers S(m, n). These include lower bounds for p(S(m, n)) if d  O and p | e(n)/2, and an efficient means of calculating the parity of S(m, n) if d  E.
+
+FIGURE 4. An example of the difference in growth between the numbers v(n + 2, n) (black) and S(n + 2, n) (red) (1  n  50).
+
+Proposition 7. Let n  E. Then, v(m, n)  Z whenever d > 0.
+
+Proof. In view of (10), we may assume without loss that d  E. Set q = n/2. By (15) and Proposition 1 we have that
+
+S(n + 2, n) = v(n + 2, n) + n + 2 v(n, n)q2 2
+
+(17)
+
+= v(n + 2, n) + n + 2 q2.
+
+2
+
+Thus, (17) furnishes the base case: v(n + 2, n) = S(n + 2, n) - n + 2 q2. 2
+
+Now if d = 2k and v(n + 2j, n)  Z for (1  j  k), one readily computes
+
+(18)
+
+k+1
+v(n + d + 2, n) = S(n + d + 2, n) -
+
+n+d+2
+
+v(n + d - 2(j - 1), n)q2j.
+
+2j
+
+j=1
+
+Since the RHS of (18) lies in Z by the induction hypothesis, the Proposition follows.
+
+Proposition 8. Let d  O and p be prime. Then, we have that
+
+p(S(m, n)) 
+
+p(e(n)) - 1 if p = 2 p(e(n)) otherwise.
+
+STIRLING FUNCTIONS AND A GENERALIZATION OF WILSON'S THEOREM
+
+9
+
+Proof. It is sufficient to show that d  O implies e(n)/2 | S(m, n). First assuming that n  E, by (16) we obtain
+
+d-1
+
+S(m, n) 2
+
+m
+
+n 2j
+
+(19)
+
+=
+
+v(m - 2j - 1, n)
+
+.
+
+n/2
+
+2j + 1
+
+2
+
+j=0
+
+Since Proposition 7 assures the RHS of (19) lies in Z, (n/2) | S(m, n) follows. Now if n  O, one observes
+S(m, n) = S(m + 1, e(n)) - e(n)S(m, e(n)).
+
+Thus, Proposition 7 and (19) imply e(n)/2 | S(m, n). This completes the proof.
+
+FIGURE 5. The numbers S(m, n) such that d  O. In the image above, each tile corresponds to an (m, n) coordinate, 1  m, n  50. Dark blue tiles represent those S(m, n) such that d  E  Z0. Note that the remaining tiles, corresponding to the S(m, n) such that d  O, are colored according to their divisibility by e(n)/2.
+Corollary 4. Let d  O. Then S(m, n) is prime only if m = 3 and n = 2.
+Proof. Assume the hypothesis. A combinatorial argument gives S(3, 2) = 3. If we suppose that 3 | S(2k + 1, 2), the identity
+S(2(k + 1) + 1, 2) = 4S(2k + 1, 2) + 3 yields 3 | S(2(k + 1) + 1, 2). Therefore, by induction we have that 3 | S(2N + 1, 2) for every N  Z+. However S(2N + 1, 2) > S(3, 2) if N > 1, and thus S(2N + 1, 2) is prime only if
+
+10
+
+MATTHEW A WILLIAMS
+
+N = 1. Now, assume that n > 2. Then e(n)/2 > 1 and by Proposition 8, e(n)/2 | S(m, n). Noting d > 0 implies
+e(n) S(m, n) = nS(m - 1, n) + S(m - 1, n - 1) > n >
+2 it follows that S(m, n) is composite. This completes the proof.
+Corollary 4 fully describes the primality of the numbers S(m, n) such that d  O. For those which satisfy d  E, infinitely many may be prime (indeed, the Mersenne primes are among these numbers). It is however possible to evaluate these S(m, n) modulo 2, using only a brief extension of the above results (Propositions 9-13). We remark that these numbers produce a striking geometric pattern (known as the Sierpinski Gasket, Figure 6). We now introduce
+n-1 n := min{k  4Z+ : k  n} - 3 = 1 + 4 4 . The n will eliminate redundancy in the work to follow (see Proposition 9, below).
+Proposition 9. Let d  E. Then, we have that
+S(n + d, n) 2 S( n + d, n).
+Proof. Assume without loss that n = n. Then, there exists 1  j  3 such that n = n + j. If j = 1, then n  E so that
+S(n + d, n) 2 S(n - 1 + d, n - 1) 2 S( n + d, n). Now if j  {2, 3}, notice 4 | e(n) and thus Proposition 8 assures 2 | S(n + (d - 1), n). Thus,
+S(n + d, n) 2 S( n + (j - 1) + d, n + (j - 1)). Taking j = 2 then j = 3 above completes the proof.
+With the use of Proposition 9, it follows that for every d  E
+1 2 S(1 + d, 1) 2 � � � 2 S(4 + d, 4). Before continuing in this direction, we first prove a generalization of the recursive identity S(m, n) = nS(m - 1, n) + S(m - 1, n - 1) for the sake of completeness.
+Lemma 1. Let n > 1 and d > 0. Then, for 1  k  d,
+d-k
+S(n + d, n) = nd-k+1S(n + k - 1, n) + njS(n - 1 + (d - j), n - 1)
+j=0
+Proof. We clearly have
+d-d
+S(n + d, n) = nd-d+1S(n + d - 1, n) + njS(n - 1 + (d - j), n - 1).
+j=0
+Now, assume that for 1    d,
+d-
+S(n + d, n) = nd-+1S(n +  - 1, n) + njS(n - 1 + (d - j), n - 1).
+j=0
+
+STIRLING FUNCTIONS AND A GENERALIZATION OF WILSON'S THEOREM
+

+
+Then, by a brief computation
+
+S(n + d, n) = nd-+1(nS(n +  - 2, n) + S(n - 1 + ( - 1), n - 1))

+= nd-(-1)+1S(n + ( - 1) - 1, n) +
+
+njS(n - 1 + (d - j), n - 1).
+
+j=0
+
+The Lemma now follows by induction.
+
+Proposition 10 (Parity Recurrence). Let d  E and n > 4. Then, we have that
+d/2
+S(n + d, n) 2 S( n-4 + (d - 2j), n-4).
+j=0
+
+Proof. In view of Proposition 9, we may assume n = n. Consequently, n-1 = n-4. Now expanding S(n + d, n) into a degree d polynomial in n-odd via Lemma 1, we obtain by Proposition 9 and the formula (16)
+
+d-1
+S(n + d, n) 2 ndS(n, n) + njS(n - 1 + (d - j), n - 1)

+
+In matrix P , each entry pij (i, j  N) denotes the parity of those numbers S(n + d, n) (d  N \ O) which satisfy n = 1 + 4i (= 1 + 4 (n - 1)/4 ) and d = 2j. The pij are determined by the equations
+
+(23)
+
+p0j = pi0 = 1 (i, j  0)
+
+j
+
+(24)
+
+pij =
+
+pi-1,k (mod 2) = (pi-1,j + pi,j-1) (mod 2) (i, j  1).
+
+k=0
+
+(As an example, below we compute P100 = [pij : 0  i, j  100] (Figure 6). This matrix is profitably represented as a "tapestry" of colored tiles, so that its interesting geometric
+
+properties are accentuated.)
+
+FIGURE 6. P100. Above, yellow tiles correspond to pij = 1. Notice that this image is the Sierpinski Gasket.
+
+Although (24) is nothing more than a reformulation of Proposition 10, the second
+equality in (24) (from left to right) indicates that P is Pascal (to visualize this, rotate P 45o so that p00 is the "top" of Pascal's Triangle modulo 2.) Thus, P is symmetric, and an elementary geometric analysis yields

+i+j
+
+i+j
+
+(25)
+
+S( n + d, n) 2 j 2 i
+
+( n = 1 + 4i, d = 2j).
+
+Now, by Kummer's Theorem, we have that
+
+i+j
+
+(26)
+
+j 2 0 iff there exists k  N such that (i2)k = (j2)k = 1.
+
+Hence the following is immediate:
+
+STIRLING FUNCTIONS AND A GENERALIZATION OF WILSON'S THEOREM
+
+13
+
+Proposition 11. Let d  E. Then 2 | S(m, n) if, and only if, there exists k  N such that
+
+n-1 =
+4 2k
+
+d = 1.
+2 2k
+
+Proof. By Proposition 9 and (25),
+
+i+j S(m, n) 2 S( n + d, n) 2 j
+
+(i = (n - 1)/4 , d = 2j).
+
+Hence the Proposition follows by (26).
+
+Remark 5. Although Proposition 11 provides an elegant means to calculate the parity of S(m, n) if d  E, it may be further improved. Notice that Proposition 10 implies the ith
+row sequence
+
+Ri = (Ri(j))jN = (S( n + 2j, n) (mod 2))jN ( n = 1 + 4i) is periodic. Thus, by the symmetry of P , the jth column sequence
+
+Cj = (Cj(i))iN = (S(1 + 4i + d, 1 + 4i) (mod 2))iN (d = 2j)
+is also periodic. Denote the periods of these sequences as T (Ri) and T (Cj), respectively. We remark that since P is Pascal, i = j implies Ri = Cj. Conversely, i = j implies Ri = Rj and Ci = Cj (Proposition 13). We now show that both T (Ri) and T (Ci) are easily computed via (26).
+
+Proposition 12. Let d  E and let  denote the MSB position of i2 = 0. Then, T (Ri) = 2+1.
+
+Proof. Notice that  is the MSB position of i2 implies
+
+{k  N : (i2)k = (j2)k = 1} = {k  N : (i2)k = (j2 + q2+1)k = 1}
+
+Hence, (26) gives
+
+i+j
+
+i + j + q2+1
+
+(27)
+
+j 2 j + q2+1
+
+(q  N).
+
+(q  N).
+
+Now by (27), we obtain T (Ri) | 2+1. Assume T (Ri) = 2 for some 0     . Noting
+
+pi0 = 1, Kummer's Theorem then assures (i2)k = 0 for   k   , for otherwise there
+
+exists t  N such that
+
+i
+
+i + 2 +t
+
+1 2 0 2 2 +t 2 0.
+
+Thus (i2) = 0, contradicting the hypothesis. This result furnishes T (Ri)  2+1, and therefore T (Ri) = 2+1 holds.
+
+Corollary 5. Let d  E and let  denote the MSB position of j2 = 0. Then, T (Cj ) = 2+1.
+Proof. By the hypothesis and Proposition 12, we have that T (Rj) = 2+1. Hence, the symmetry of P yields T (Cj) = 2+1 as desired.
+
+14
+
+MATTHEW A WILLIAMS
+
+Remark 6. We may now improve (26) in the following sense. Given i and j, consider pij. Due to Proposition 12, one obtains an equal entry by replacing j with j = j (mod T (Ri)). Similarly by Corollary 5, a replacement of i with i = i (mod T (Cj )) also yields an equal entry. This process may be alternatively initiated with a replacement of i and ended with a replacement of j (depending upon which approach is most efficient, however observation of order is necessary). We make this reduction in computational work precise below.
+
+Corollary 6. Let d  E such that d = 2j, and n = 1 + 4i. Denote j1 = j (mod T (Ri)), i1 = i (mod T (Cj1 )), i2 = i (mod T (Cj)), j2 = j (mod T (Ri2 )).
+Then, 2(S(m, n))  1 if, and only if, there exists k  N such that
+(A) (i12)k = (j21)k = 1 (B) (i22)k = (j22)k = 1.
+Proof. The assertion follows by applying Proposition 12 and Corollary 5 to (26).
+
+Let i  N be given and  be as in Proposition 12. Call fi = (Ri(0), Ri(1), . . . , Ri(2+1 - 1))
+the parity frequency of Ri. It will now be shown that the parity frequency associated to each Ri is unique.
+Proposition 13 (Uniqueness of Parity Frequencies). Let i, k  N, i = k. Then, fi = fk.
+Proof. Assuming the hypothesis, suppose fi = fk. Setting M = max{i, k}  1, consider the matrix PM = [pij : 0  i, j  M ] (where pij is defined as in Remark 4). Since we have that M < T (RM ) (a consequence of Proposition 12), it follows by our assumption that rows i and k in PM are identical. Hence det(PM ) = 0. However PM is Pascal, so that det(PM ) 2 1 (contradiction). Therefore, we conclude that fi = fk.
+
+3. A GENERALIZATION OF WILSON'S THEOREM
+
+We attribute the technique used in the proof below to Ruiz [2].
+
+Proposition 14 (Generalized Wilson's Theorem). Let p  Z+. Then p is prime if, and only if, for every n  Z+
+-1 p B(n(p - 1), p - 1).
+
+Proof. We first establish necessity. For the case p = 2, one observes that for every n  Z+
+
+B(n(p - 1), p - 1) 2 1!S(n, 1) 2 -1.
+
+Now if p > 2 is prime, we have by Propositions 1 and 2 that
+
+(28)
+
+(p - 1)!S(n(p - 1), p - 1, 0) p B(n(p - 1), p - 1).
+
+Expanding the LHS of (28) (recall the definition of S(m, n, z)), we obtain
+
+p-1
+
+p-1 k
+
+p-1
+(-1)kkn(p-1) p
+
+p-1 k
+
+n
+(-1)k kp-1 p B(n(p - 1), p - 1).
+
+k=0
+
+k=0
+
+j=1
+
+Since p-1 0 p 1,
+
+p-1
+
+p-1

+p-1
+
+p-1
+
+k + k - 1 p k p 0  k p - k - 1
+
+STIRLING FUNCTIONS AND A GENERALIZATION OF WILSON'S THEOREM
+
+15
+
+it follows that for each 0 < k < p,
+
+p-1 k
+
+p (-1)k.
+
+Hence we have that
+
+p-1
+
+p-1 k
+
+(-1)k
+
+n
+
+p-1
+kp-1 p
+
+n
+
+kp-1.
+
+k=0
+
+j=1
+
+k=0 j=1
+
+Finally, by Fermat's Little Theorem, we conclude
+
+p-1 n
+
+p-1
+
+kp-1 p 1 p p - 1 p -1 p B(n(p - 1), p - 1).
+
+k=0 j=1
+
+k=1
+
+For sufficiency, one observes that -1 p B(p-1, p-1) yields -1 p (p-1)!, which implies that p is prime.
+
+Corollary 7 (Wilson's Theorem). Let p  Z+. Then p is prime if, and only if, -1  (p - 1)! (mod p).
+
+Proof. If p is prime, take n = 1 in Proposition 14 to obtain -1  (p - 1)! (mod p).
+
+Proposition 14 may be applied to investigate the relationship between the Stirling numbers of the second kind and the primes. A result due to De Maio and Touset [4, Thm. 1 and Cor. 1] states that if p > 2 is prime, then
+
+(29)
+
+S(p + n(p - 1), k) p 0
+
+for every n  N and 1 < k < p. As an example of applying the Generalized Wilson's Theorem, we have:
+
+Proposition 15. Let p > 2 be prime. Then, for every n  Z+ and 0 < k < p - 1,
+
+S(n(p - 1), p - k) p (k - 1)!.
+
+Proof. Appealing to Proposition 14, we have that for every n  Z+
+
+-1 p (p - 1)!S(n(p - 1), p - 1) p -S(n(p - 1), p - 1).
+
+Hence S(n(p - 1), p - 1) p 1 p (1 - 1)!. Assume now that for 0 <  < p - 1 we have
+
+(30)
+
+S(n(p - 1), p - ) p ( - 1)! (n  Z+).
+
+Let n0  Z+ and  + 1 < p - 1. By (29) it follows
+
+S(p + (n0 - 1)(p - 1), p - ) p S(n0(p - 1) + 1, p - )
+
+p (p - )S(n0(p - 1), p - ) + S(n0(p - 1), p - ( + 1))
+
+p -S(n0(p - 1), p - ) + S(n0(p - 1), p - ( + 1))
+
+(31)
+
+p 0.
+
+Thus (30) and (31) imply that
+
+S(n0(p - 1), p - ( + 1)) p S(n0(p - 1), p - ) p ( - 1)! p !.
+
+Since n0 is arbitrary, the Proposition follows by induction.

+We investigate how correlated fluctuations affect oscillatory features in rephasing and non-rephasing twodimensional (2D) electronic spectra of a model dimer system. Based on a beating map analysis, we show that non-secular environmental couplings induced by uncorrelated fluctuations lead to oscillations centered at both cross- and diagonal-peaks in rephasing spectra as well as in non-rephasing spectra. Using an analytical approach, we provide a quantitative description of the non-secular effects in terms of the Feynman diagrams and show that the environment-induced mixing of different inter-excitonic coherences leads to oscillations in the rephasing diagonal-peaks and non-rephasing cross-peaks. We demonstrate that as correlations in the noise increase, the lifetime of oscillatory 2D signals is enhanced at rephasing cross-peaks and non-rephasing diagonal-peaks, while the other non-secular oscillatory signals are suppressed. We discuss that the asymmetry of 2D lineshapes in the beating map provides information on the degree of correlations in environmental fluctuations. Finally we investigate how the oscillatory features in 2D spectra are affected by inhomogeneous broadening.

+I. INTRODUCTION
+In the first step of the light-harvesting process1,2, the neutral electronic excitations (excitons) created by light absorption are transferred through the molecular system until free charge carriers are generated by exciton dissociation1,2. The interaction between electronic and vibrational degrees of freedom governs the exciton transfer dynamics, such as coherent and incoherent features in energy transport3�5.
+Two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy (2DES) has been employed to study the exciton transfer dynamics in the light-harvesting systems on a sub-picosecond timescale6. For various natural7�12 and artificial13�20 systems, oscillatory signals observed in 2D experiments have been interpreted as a signature of quantum coherences within the molecular system, coherence that is generated by laser pulses but sustained by the intrinsic dynamics. These coherences can originate in principle from both electronic and vibrational degrees of freedom. The electronic states of the light-harvesting systems are coupled to their vibrational environments with a moderate coupling strength, such that electronic coherences are not completely washed out by the environmentinduced noise. The intra-pigment vibrations of the lightharvesting systems exhibit underdamped vibrational motions on a picosecond timescale, which can leads to vibrational coherences in the electronic ground state manifold21,22. A vibronic (electronic-vibrational) coupling between electronic states and underdamped vibrational

+
+motions leads to a mixing of electronic and vibrational degrees of freedom, inducing vibronic coherences in the electronic excited state manifold22�30. A model dimer system has been widely employed to investigate how electronic-vibrational interactions are reflected in spectroscopy27�33.
+For various light-harvesting systems, 2DES has demonstrated the presence of long-lived quantum coherences, which are sustained beyond the lifetime of optical coherences between electronic ground and excited states7�17. To identify the microscopic origin of the long-lived oscillatory signals observed in 2D experiments, several hypotheses have been formulated to explain how quantum coherences are sustained under a noisy environment at ambient conditions. Coherent vibronic coupling has been shown to induce long-lived vibronic coherences when the vibrational frequency is resonant with the energy-level difference between exciton states22�28 and the vibronic coupling strength is moderate in magnitude17,27. In this case, oscillatory 2D signals originate from the combination of excited-state vibronic coherence and ground-state vibrational coherence, as they originate from the same mechanism, namely the vibronic Hamiltonian. Recent 2D experiments on J-aggregates of cyanine dyes17 confirmed the validity of this theoretical approach. Other experimental results on a synthetic dimer15,34 pointed towards the need of a threshold in the vibronic coupling strength to allow vibronic mixing to be relevant under environmental effects.
+Correlated fluctuations in the transition energies of neighboring pigments have been suggested as an alternative mechanism where purely electronic coherences in the excited state manifold induce long-lived oscillatory 2D signals3,35,36. In the correlated fluctuation model, where underdamped vibrational motions are not consid-
+

+
+ered, uncorrelated noise between electronic ground and excited states leads to the finite homogeneous broadening of 2D spectra, while highly correlated noise between different excited states induces long-lived inter-excitonic coherences. This purely electronic coherence model is similar in spirit to the decoherence-free subspaces in quantum information science37,38. Correlated fluctuations have been shown to enhance the lifetime of coherent features in electronic motions, such as population dynamics36,39�43. Correlated fluctuations have also been considered in the simulations of 2D electronic spectroscopy44,45. Using the secular Redfield theory, it was found that uncorrelated and correlated fluctuation models give very similar absorption spectra and rephasing diagonal-peaks, but show large differences in rephasing cross-peak regimes44. The enhancement of the lifetime of 2D oscillations was observed for rephasing diagonal- and cross-peaks, but the diagonal-peak oscillations were attributed to the overlap of non-oscillatory diagonal-peaks with nearby oscillating cross-peaks44. It was found that correlations in the noise can alter the relative phase between diagonaland cross-peak oscillations45. Correlations in inhomogeneous broadening have also been considered in the context of 2DES where correlated and anti-correlated static disorder lead to cross-peaks strongly elongated along diagonal and anti-diagonal directions, respectively46. A similar feature was observed in the simulations of 2D infrared (IR) spectroscopy in the slow bath limit, while different correlation models lead to similar Lorentzian 2D lineshapes in the fast bath limit47. However, it is unclear what the microscopic origin of such correlations is. Quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) simulations of photosynthetic systems, such as the FennaMatthews-Olson (FMO) complex48,49 and phycoerythrin 545 (PE545) complex50, for instance, have shown no evidence of spatially correlated fluctuations. This is contrary to the 2D experiments on the FMO complex9,10, colloidal semiconductor nanoplatelets18 and J-aggregates of porphyrins19, where the presence of correlated fluctuations was suggested. The discrepancy between theory and experiment shows the need for further investigations of how the degree of correlations in the noise is reflected in experimental observables, so that the presence of correlated fluctuations can be verified or ruled out based upon experimental results.
+In this work, we employ the Bloch-Redfield equation36,51 where the degree of correlations in the noise is parameterized by a continuous variable to investigate how the correlations affect the oscillatory features in rephasing and non-rephasing 2D spectra of a model dimer system. We do not include underdamped vibrational modes in the model to focus on the influence of spatial noise correlations on optical responses without vibronic effects. The employed Bloch-Redfield equation includes non-secular environmental couplings between exciton populations and inter-excitonic coherences, and also the non-secular interaction between different interexcitonic coherences. These non-secular terms are disre-
+
+garded in the secular approximation, where the dynamics of exciton populations are decoupled from those of interexcitonic coherences. The secular terms describe the relaxation between exciton populations and the decay of inter-excitonic coherences, independently.
+We show that in the absence of noise correlations, non-secular environmental couplings induce oscillatory 2D signals centered at both cross- and diagonal-peaks in rephasing spectra as well as in non-rephasing spectra. In Ref. 52, it was found that rephasing diagonalpeaks show notable oscillatory features when non-secular couplings are taken into account in simulations. The origin of the oscillations was attributed to the nonsecular interaction between exciton populations and coherences52,53. It was also shown that the diagonal-peak oscillations are suppressed when the secular approximation is employed, even though both diagonal- and crosspeaks showed similar amplitudes of oscillations52. In this work, to clarify the contribution of non-secular effects to rephasing diagonal- and non-rephrasing crosspeak oscillations (non-secular oscillations) in the presence of spectral overlap of diagonal- and cross-peaks, we provide a quantitative beating map analysis in terms of the eigenstates of the Liouville space operator with associated Feynman diagrams. The beating map analysis helps to clarify whether the oscillation of a given 2D peak originates from itself or merely from the overlap with nearby oscillating peaks. For a homodimer, we show that the non-secular oscillations can be induced by the nonsecular coupling between different inter-excitonic coherences, even if their dynamics are decoupled from those of exciton populations. For a heterodimer, where the dynamics of exciton populations and coherences are all coupled to one another, we show that the non-secular oscillations are dominated by the mixing of different interexcitonic coherences, rather than population-coherence mixing suggested in Refs. 52 and 53. In addition, we show that the uncorrelated noise can induce asymmetric lineshapes of homogeneously broadened 2D peaks in the beating map, elongated along excitation or detection axis, when the broadening is dominated by relaxation, rather than pure dephasing noise. For the FMO complex, small pure dephasing rates have been identified as a condition for the oscillations of rephasing cross-peaks54. Finally we show that as the degree of correlations in the noise increases, the lineshape of absorption and 2D electronic spectra, including both diagonal- and cross-peaks, is significantly changed, as the homogeneous broadening starts to be dominated by pure dephasing, rather than relaxation. We show that the noise correlations induce long-lasting oscillations in the rephasing cross-peaks and non-rephasing diagonal-peaks with suppressed nonsecular oscillations, leading to symmetric 2D lineshapes in the beating map. We discuss that the asymmetry of 2D lineshapes can provide information on the degree of correlated fluctuations in J-aggregates17 and colloidal semiconductor nanoplatelets18, for which asymmetric lineshapes elongated along the excitation axis were observed

When  = 1, leading to  = 0, the phonon environment is reduced to local phonon baths, where the phonon modes bjk are locally coupled to site j, inducing spatially uncorrelated noise. When  = 0 and  = 0, the phonon environment is reduced to a shared phonon bath, as the phonon modes are coupled to both sites 1 and 2, leading to spatially correlated noise. A schematic representation of the local and shared phonon baths is displayed in Fig. 1. The degree of correlations in the noise is quantified by a correlation length  defined by exp(-d/) = 2  [0, 1] with d denoting the distance between sites 1 and 2.
+In this work, we employ the Bloch-Redfield formalism36,51 to describe the dynamics of the dimer system based on the Hamiltonian above. This formalism

+relations, as summarized in Appendix A. The phonon

+

+

+
+III. RESULTS
+In this section, we provide a beating map analysis of rephasing and non-rephasing spectra of a model dimer system to demonstrate how non-secular environmental couplings and correlated fluctuations affect the oscillatory features in 2D spectra. We will consider two cases in the simulations: a homodimer, where both sites 1 and 2 have the same site energy 1,2 = 12500 cm-1, and a heterodimer, where the two sites have different site energies, 1 = 12600 cm-1 and 2 = 12400 cm-1. For both cases, the electronic coupling between sites is taken to be J = 100 cm-1, and the phonon bath is modeled by typical values encountered in natural photosynthetic systems3:  = 50 cm-1,  = (50 fs)-1 and T = 77 K. We will also show how the beating map is changed by static disorder. The numerical results, which will be provided in this section, are investigated analytically in Appendix D in full detail.
+Before we provide a beating map analysis, we demonstrate in Fig. 2 that correlated fluctuations can modify absorption and 2D lineshapes when homogeneous broadening is dominated by relaxation, and induce long-lived 2D oscillations within the Bloch-Redfield formalism. For the homodimer, Fig. 2(a) shows the absorption spectrum when correlations in the noise are negligible (i.e. local phonon baths). The high-energy absorption peak centered at 2 = 1.26 � 104 cm-1 is broader than the lowenergy peak centered at 1 = 1.24 � 104 cm-1. This is due to the fact that the homogeneous broadening is dominated by relaxation in the model, where the broadening
+
+of the low-energy peak is dominated by pure dephasing only, while the high-energy peak is broadened by both relaxation and pure dephasing. A larger broadening of the high-energy peak makes its amplitude smaller than the low-energy peak. As shown in Figs. 2(b) and (c), the amplitude and homogeneous broadening of two peaks become similar as correlations in the noise increase, where the broadening is dominated by pure dephasing with suppressed relaxation.
+In Fig. 2(d), the real part of the rephasing spectra at waiting time t2 = 0 is displayed for the case that correlations in the noise are absent. The high-energy diagonal peak R22 (cf. four peaks marked by black circles in Fig. 2(d)) is hardly visible, as expected from the small amplitude of the high-energy absorption peak shown in Fig. 2(a). The amplitude of upper-diagonal cross-peak R12 is larger than lower-diagonal cross-peak R21. This is due to the excited state absorption (ESA) signals. In Fig. 2(j), the sum of ground state bleaching (GSB) and stimulated emission (SE) contributions to the rephasing spectra is displayed where the main peak is R11, as its amplitude and broadening along excitation and detection axes are governed by the lineshape of the low-energy absorption peak (cf. Feynman diagrams in Fig. 2(j)). In Fig. 2(k), the ESA contribution is displayed where the main peak is R12 centered at detection frequency of 3 = 2. Here the coherence |f 1| between bi-exciton and low-energy exciton state leads to the ESA peak centered at 3 = f - 1 = 2, as described in the Feynman diagram in Fig. 2(k), leading to a large amplitude and a narrow linewidth along 3-axis, similar to the low-energy absorption peak. Figs. 2(e) and (f) show that the rephasing lineshape becomes more symmetric and high-energy diagonal peak R22 starts to have a larger amplitude as correlations in the noise increase.
+Figs. 2(g)-(i) show how the dynamics of lower-diagonal cross-peak R21 are affected by the degree of correlations in the noise. For uncorrelated noise, the cross-peak R21 shows oscillatory dynamics up to t2  300 fs, as shown in Fig. 2(g). As the correlation length  increases, the lifetime of the oscillations in R21 is increased as shown in Figs. 2(h) and (i), describing partially and fully correlated noise, respectively. These results demonstrate that correlations in the noise can enhance the lifetime of excited state coherences, as expected from Refs. 36, 39� 44, leading to persistent oscillatory 2D signals when /d  . The advantage of the current formalism is that we can tune  to cover the two extreme cases of completely uncorrelated and perfectly correlated noise.
+To investigate in detail how correlations in the noise affect the oscillatory 2D signals, we use a beating map analysis, which visualizes the lineshape of oscillatory 2D signals in the (1, 3) domain as a function of the beating frequency 2. To this end, we extract oscillatory components from the total 2D spectra that contain both damped oscillations and non-oscillatory components. The non-oscillatory components include exponential and static t2-transients (cf. Figs. 2(g) and (h)).

Absorption (Abs.), the real part of rephasing 2D spectra at waiting time t2 = 0 and the t2-transient of the lowerdiagonal cross-peak R21 centered at (1, 3) = ( 2, 1) with 1 = 1.24 � 104 cm-1 and 2 = 1.26 � 104 cm-1. In (a), (d), (g), (j), (k), we consider local phonon baths characterized by a short correlation length  = 10-3d, leading to e-d/  0. In (b),

+to 2D spectra shown in (d) is displayed with the Feynman diagrams responsible for the main peak R11. In (k), the ESA
+contribution to (d) is displayed with the Feynman diagram for the main peak R12. The ESA contribution makes R12 stronger than R21 in both (d) and (e). Here we employed 1 = 2 = 12500 cm-1, J = 100 cm-1,  = 50 cm-1,  = (50 fs)-1 (cf.   106 cm-1), s = 200 cm-1 and T = 77 K.
+
+In 2D experiments, the oscillatory components are ex-
+tracted from raw 2D spectra by fitting multi-exponentials
+to the raw t2-transients for each (1, 3) value, or by fitting 2D decay-associated spectra (2DDAS) to the raw 2D data11�13,17. In this work, we directly calculate the oscil-
+latory components by removing time-evolution operator
+components leading to non-oscillatory 2D signals, which
+will be detailed in Appendix D. By avoiding the fitting
+
+procedure in simulations, one can avoid potential artefacts and numerical errors in the beating map. Throughout this work, the response function that only contains the oscillatory components is denoted by S(1, t2, 3), while the total response function that contains both oscillatory and non-oscillatory signals is represented by S(1, t2, 3). The oscillatory component S(1, t2, 3) is generally expressed as a sum of complex-valued damped

By extracting the oscillatory components S from the raw 2D spectra S for each (1, 3) value and Fourier transforming S with respect to t2, one can obtain the beating map in the (1, 2, 3) domain, as shown in (e), where the beating frequency 2 is taken to be the exciton splitting of | 2 - 1|. In (a)-(d), we display the real part of S for the sake of simplicity, but the imaginary part of S is also included in the computation of the beating map S(1, 2, 3) (see text). We note that in this work, S0.1 is displayed (cf. Fig. 4(b)), instead of S (cf. (e) and Fig. 5(a)), to make small amplitudes more visible.

+
+we can distinguish positive and negative frequency com-
+
+ponents that oscillate in the form of exp(i |v| t2 - t2) and exp(-i |v| t2 - t2), respectively, with an overall decay rate of . The positive and negative frequency
+

+Lorentzian functions centered at 2 = |v| and 2 = - |v|, respectively, with a width of  along 2-axis. A schematic representation of the beating map evaluation
+
+is shown in Fig. 3. A separate analysis of positive and negative frequency components has been employed to distinguish electronic and vibrational coherences for a model quantum dot system56 and experimentally estimate the Hamiltonian and decoherence rates of an atomic vapour57.
+In Fig. 4, we show the resulting beating map of the rephasing spectra of a homodimer with the parameters used in Fig. 2. Figs. 4(a)-(c) show the case of local phonon baths considered in Figs. 2(d) and (g). In Fig. 4(a), the beating map at a negative frequency of 2 = - | 2 - 1| is displayed, which is dominated by the upper-diagonal cross-peak R12. This is due to the interexcitonic coherence in the form of | 2 1|, where | 1 and | 2 denote lower and higher energy single exciton states, respectively. The inter-excitonic coherence leads to the negative frequency component, as 2 > 1. It is notable that there are weak diagonal-peaks centered at R11 and R22, which are not artefacts of the beating map calculations. Here the maximum value of S  S(1, 2, 3) is normalized to 1, i.e. 0  S  1, and S0.1 is displayed instead of S, so that the small amplitudes are more visible in the beating map. In Fig. 4(b), the beating map at a positive frequency of 2 = | 2 - 1| is shown, where the lower-diagonal cross-peak R21 is induced by the inter-excitonic coherence in the form of | 1 2|. Interestingly, all the other peaks R11, R12 and R22 are visible in Fig. 4(b) and the amplitude of R11 is comparable to that of R21.
+To understand the lineshape of oscillatory signals in more detail, Fig. 4(c) displays the amplitudes of the cross- and diagonal-peaks as a function of the beating frequency 2. The cross-peaks R12 and R21 are centered at the negative and positive beating frequencies, respectively. The large amplitude and broadening of the R12 peak explains the reason why R12 is visible in both Figs. 4(a) and (b). Interestingly, the diagonal-peak R11 has comparable amplitudes at both positive and negative frequencies, contrary to the cross-peaks R12 and R21. We note that the diagonal-peak R11 in the beating map does not originate from the overlap of the homogeneously broadened cross-peaks R12 and R21. As shown in Fig. 5(a), where S is displayed instead of S0.1, the homogeneous broadening of the cross-peaks is not large enough to dominate the amplitude of the diagonalpeak R11. More specifically, the distance between R11 and R21 is the same to that between R21 and point A, marked by a purple circle. Since the regime around point A has no overlap with other peaks, the amplitude of the homogeneously broadened cross-peak R21 at the position of R11 can be approximately estimated by the value of S at point A (cf. Fig. 5(b)). Similarly, the amplitude of the homogeneously broadened cross-peak R12 at the position of R11 can be approximately estimated by the value of S at point B, marked by a light blue circle (cf. Fig. 5(c)). The contribution of the cross-peaks R12 and R21 to the amplitude of R11 is more than two times smaller than the amplitude of R11, implying that the diagonal-peak does

+FIG. 4. The beating map of complex-valued rephasing spectra that visualizes the lineshape of oscillatory 2D signals at a
+frequency of 2. In (a)-(c), we consider local phonon baths with the parameters used in Fig. 2(a). In (a), the lineshape of oscillatory signals in the form of exp(i2t2 - t2) is displayed with a negative frequency of 2 = - | 2 - 1| = -200 cm-1 and an overall decay rate of . Here the maximum value of S  S(1, 2, 3) is normalized to 1, i.e. 0  S  1, and S0.1 is displayed instead of S, so that the small amplitudes are more visible in the beating map. In (b), the lineshape of oscillatory signals with a positive frequency of 2 = | 2 - 1| = 200 cm-1 is displayed. It is notable that the lineshape of R21 is asymmetric with a larger homogeneous broadening along 1-axis when compared to the broadening along 3-axis. In both (a) and (b), there are oscillations centered at the lower diagonal-peak R11. In (c), the amplitudes of the cross-peaks R12 and
+R21 and diagonal-peaks R11 and R22 in the beating map are displayed as a function of the beating frequency 2. Here S is displayed instead of S0.1. The cross-peaks R12 and R21 are centered at negative and positive beating frequencies, respectively.
+On the other hand, the diagonal-peak R11 has comparable amplitudes at both positive and negative frequencies. In (d)-(f), we
+consider an intermediate case with the parameters used in Fig. 2(b). In (d) and (e), the lineshape of the cross-peaks R12 and
+R21 is more symmetric and the diagonal-peak R11 is less visible when compared to the case of the uncorrelated noise shown in

+R11 and R22 are not visible, and the lineshape of the cross-peaks R12 and R21 is symmetric along the 1- and 3-axes. In (i), all the peaks have very narrow linewidths along 2-axis, as the overall decay rate  of the oscillatory 2D signals is very low due to the highly correlated noise (cf. Fig. 2(i)). In (i), the diagonal-peaks R11 and R22 have very small amplitudes, but this
+is due to the homogeneous broadening of the cross-peaks R12 and R21 along 1- and 3-axes, as the diagonal-peaks are not visible in (g) and (h).

To demonstrate that the oscillations in the diagonal-peak R11 do not originate from the overlap of the homogeneous broadening of the cross-peaks R12 and R21, in (b), S is shown as a function of 1 for 3 = 1 = 1.24 � 104 cm-1, while in (c), S is displayed as a function of 3 for 1 = 1 = 1.24 � 104 cm-1. The sum of the values of S at points A and B is  0.044, which is more than two times smaller than the value of R11 ( 0.106). This implies that if one assumes that the cross-peaks R12 and R21 have the Lorentzian lineshapes, the amplitude of the diagonal-peak R11 cannot be explained by the overlap of the homogeneously broadened cross-peaks R12 and R21.
+not originate solely from the overlap of the cross-peaks.
+So far we have analyzed the beating map for the case that correlations in the noise are absent (cf. Figs. 4(a)(c)). We now show how correlations in the noise change features of the beating map (cf. Figs. 4(d)-(i)). Figs. 4(d)-(f) show the beating map in the presence of partially correlated noise (cf. Figs. 2(e) and (h)), while Figs. 4(g)-(i) display the case of fully correlated noise (cf. Figs. 2(f) and (i)). It is notable that the overall 2D lineshapes become more symmetric as correlations in the noise increase. For instance, the asymmetric lineshape of the cross-peak R21 elongated along 1-axis becomes more symmetric as the correlation length  increases, as shown in Figs. 4(b), (e) and (h). Note also that the amplitude of the diagonal peak R11 is suppressed as the correlation length  increases. Indeed, R11 is not visible at all for fully correlated noise, as shown in Figs. 4(g) and (h). These results demonstrate that uncorrelated noise
+
+can induce oscillations in the rephasing diagonal-peaks and make the lineshapes of the rephasing cross-peaks asymmetric in the beating map. Conversely, correlations in the noise suppress these features, leading to symmetric lineshapes of the rephasing cross-peaks in the beating map with suppressed diagonal oscillations.
+In Fig. 6, we now show that the characteristics of the rephasing beating map of a heterodimer is similar to that of the homodimer, shown in Fig. 4. We also show that the qualitative features of non-rephasing beating maps are significantly affected by correlations in the noise, as is the case for rephasing beating maps. Fig. 6(a) shows rephasing beating maps of the heterodimer in the absence of correlations in the noise at negative and positive 1.22 1.24 1.26 1.28 frequencies 2 =  | 2 - 1|. Here the oscillations occur at both cross-peaks R12 and R21 as well as at the diagonal-peaks R11 and R22. Note that the amplitude of the upper diagonal-peak R22 is more visible when compared to the case of the homodimer shown in Fig. 4(b). Fig. 6(b) shows the rephasing beating maps in the presence of highly correlated noise, where the oscillatory 2D signals occur only at the cross-peaks, as in the case of the homodimer. Figs. 6(c) and (d) show the nonrephasing beating maps of the homodimer considered in Fig. 4. In the absence of correlations in the noise, oscillatory non-rephasing signals occur at both diagonal-peaks N11 and N22 as well as at the cross-peaks N12 and N21, as shown in Fig. 6(c). In the presence of highly correlated noise, the oscillations occur only at the diagonalpeaks N11 and N22, as shown in Fig. 6(d). Note that the asymmetric lineshape of the diagonal-peak N22 becomes more symmetric as correlations in the noise increase. The non-rephasing beating map of a heterodimer shows similar features, as demonstrated in Figs. 6(e) and (f). In Fig. 6(e), the diagonal-peak N22 shows a seemingly discontinuous lineshape due to the interference of the oscillatory signals from the SE and ESA contributions, where each contribution leads to continuous 2D lineshapes in the beating map (not shown here).
+These results demonstrate that in the absence of correlations in the noise, the oscillations in rephasing and non-rephasing spectra can appear at both cross- and diagonal-peaks with asymmetric lineshapes in the beating map. These features are suppressed as correlations in the noise increase, leading to oscillatory signals centered only at rephasing cross-peaks and non-rephasing diagonal-peaks with symmetric lineshapes. This is contrary to the simulated 2D spectra based on the Redfield equation within the secular approximation, where the oscillations occur only at rephasing cross-peaks and nonrephasing diagonal-peaks, even in the absence of correlations in the noise21. This suggests that the non-secular environmental couplings in the Bloch-Redfield equation, which couple the dynamics of an inter-excitonic coherence to that of the other inter-excitonic coherences and exciton populations36, may be responsible for our observations, as suggested in Refs. 52 and 53 for rephasing spectra without a quantitative description.

In (a) and (b), we consider a heterodimer modeled by 1 = 12600 cm-1, 2 = 12400 cm-1, J = 100 cm-1,  = 50 cm-1,  = (50 fs)-1, s = | 2 - 1|  283 cm-1 and T = 77 K.

In Appendix D, we investigate this issue analytically to clarify how the non-secular terms and correlations in the noise affect oscillatory features in 2D spectra and how the non-secular effects can be described quantitatively with Feynman diagrams. For the homodimer, we show that non-secular oscillations are induced by non-secular interaction between different inter-excitonic coherences, as the dynamics of exciton populations are decoupled from those of coherences. For the heterodimer, where the populations and coherences are all coupled to one another, we show that non-secular oscillations are mainly induced by the mixing of different coherences, rather than population-coherence mixing, contrary to the suggestions in Refs. 52 and 53.
+IV. DISCUSSION
+In Ref. 17, three of the present authors demonstrated that the experimentally observed asymmetric lineshape in the rephasing beating map of J-aggregates cannot be explained by a correlated fluctuation model within the secular approximation. The asymmetric lineshape of the rephasing cross-peak of J-aggregates was found to originate from the fast population relaxation from higher to lower energy excitons17. The present results based on the Bloch-Redfield equation beyond the secular approximation further support the claim that when the oscillatory 2D signals have a long lifetime, and the lineshapes in the beating map are sufficiently asymmetric, long-lived beating signals are not dominated by correlated fluctuations. In Ref. 17, it was found that homogeneous broadening dominates the 2D lineshapes of J-aggregates and the exciton splitting is of the order of  700 cm-1. For such a large exciton splitting, non-secular effects are unlikely to induce notable signatures in oscillatory 2D signals, which are in line with the results shown in Ref. 58 based on quantum process tomography.
+In Ref. 18, the experimentally measured 2D spectra of colloidal semiconductor nanoplatelets were reported, where heavy- and light-hole excitons exhibit lower and higher energy peaks in 2D spectra. It was found that the 2D lineshapes of the semiconductor system are dominated by homogeneous broadening, and the broadening of the higher energy exciton is approximately three times larger than that of the lower energy exciton, leading to asymmetric 2D lineshapes in the (1, t2, 3) domain: a beating map analysis in the (1, 2, 3) domain was not provided in Ref. 18. Given that highly asymmetric lineshapes were observed in experiments, our theoretical study predicts that highly correlated noise is unlikely to be present in the semiconductor system, and purely electronic coherences are unlikely to induce long-lived 2D oscillations. This is in line with the experimental observations where the lifetime of oscillatory 2D signals is similar to that of the optical coherences of the heavy- and lighthole excitons18. The authors of Ref. 18 concluded that
+
+partially correlated noise is present in their system. We note that the exciton splitting of the semiconductor system was found to be in the range of 1200  1600 cm-118, depending on the sample preparation. For such a large exciton splitting, our results predict that non-secular effects are unlikely to induce notable features in oscillatory 2D signals. This is in line with the experimental 2D spectra where oscillatory features are present only at rephasing cross-peaks and non-rephasing diagonal-peaks18.
+In Refs. 52 and 53, it was suggested that the nonsecular interaction between exciton populations and inter-excitonic coherences may induce oscillatory features in the rephasing diagonal-peaks of the photosystem II reaction center and the FMO complex. Our results support the claim that electronic coherences can induce such diagonal oscillations in the rephasing spectra, mediated by non-secular couplings, as the exciton splittings of the photosynthetic systems are relatively small, typically in the range of 100  200 cm-152,53. However, our quantitative analysis demonstrates that non-secular effects may be dominated by the interaction between inter-excitonic coherences, rather than the mixing of exciton populations and inter-excitonic coherences, depending on the model parameters. A detailed quantitative analysis with a beating map may be helpful for the identification of the microscopic origin of the oscillatory 2D signals of photosynthetic complexes, at least for simulated 2D spectra. We note that in Refs. 52 and 53, it was suggested that non-secular terms may be related to the functional relevance of the inter-excitonic coherences in exciton transport, as these non-secular terms couple the dynamics of the inter-excitonic coherences to that of exciton populations. Our results demonstrate that non-secular effects are suppressed as correlations in the noise increase, which suggests the possibility that there could be a trade-off between non-secular effects and the lifetime of purely electronic coherences. A further theoretical investigation based on non-Markovian quantum master equations59,60, and numerically exact methods such as TEDOPA23,26 and hierarchical equations of motion (HEOM)61�63, could be helpful for the identification of the trade-off relation.
+In our simulations, each time interval, i.e. t1, t2, t3, of the response function was described independently using the Bloch-Redfield equation, with the Born-Markov approximation where the phonon bath is in its equilibrium state in the electronic ground state manifold for all times. We note that the non-equilibrium dynamics of the phonon bath can induce the correlations between different time intervals and lead to much richer spectral lineshapes beyond the Lorentzians64,65. In the spatially correlated noise model, slow bath relaxation or a strong coupling of electronic states to a phonon environment can induce notable temporal correlations, which can be studied using numerically exact methods, such as HEOM54,61,62. Such a study of temporal and spatial correlations is beyond the scope of this work. Temporal correlations also play an important role in a vibronic model where underdamped vibrational modes modulate
+
+11
+
+2D lineshapes66. We also note that absorption lineshapes computed by using exact methods can show quantitative differences from those computed by using approximate methods55,67,68. Exact simulations of absorption and 2D spectra will be helpful for fully characterizing the signatures of correlated fluctuations. Such studies, which go well beyond the scope of the present work, will be pursued in a forthcoming work.
+V. SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
+In this work, we investigated the influence of nonsecular couplings and spatial noise correlations on oscillatory 2D signals in rephasing and non-rephasing spectra. We employed the Bloch-Redfield formalism where we can tune the degree of correlations in the noise, such that we can cover the two extreme cases of uncorrelated and fully correlated noise. We performed a beating map analysis to identify the signatures of non-secular effects and noise correlations in oscillatory 2D spectra.
+For uncorrelated noise, we found that non-secular couplings induce the mixing of exciton populations and inter-excitonic coherences, which lead to oscillations centered at rephasing diagonal-peaks and non-rephasing cross-peaks. With a developed quantitative method, we showed that the mixing of different inter-excitonic coherences is mainly responsible for the 2D oscillations induced by non-secular couplings. We also showed that the uncorrelated noise can induce asymmetric lineshapes of 2D peaks elongated along the excitation or detection axis.
+For correlated noise, we showed that the non-secular effects are suppressed by correlations in the noise. This spatially correlated noise can induce long-lasting 2D oscillations centered at rephasing cross- and non-rephasing diagonal-peaks, but with suppressed oscillatory features in rephasing diagonal- and non-rephasing cross-peaks. We also showed that correlations in the noise enforce symmetry onto 2D lineshapes, hinting that the degree of asymmetry in 2D lineshapes could be used to estimate to what degree the noise is spatially correlated. Our results demonstrate that a detailed analysis of the oscillatory features in 2D electronic spectra may provide information on the structure of vibrational environments, such as correlations in the noise and the strength of non-secular environmental couplings.

+Appendix B: 2D electronic spectroscopy
+In 2D experiments, three excitation pulses interact with a molecular system and the resultant third-order optical response of the system is measured as a function of the time delays between the first and second, the second and third, and the third excitation pulse and the emitted signal from the molecular system. These time delays are called coherence time t1, waiting time t2 and rephasing time t3, respectively. The Fourier transformation of the response function with respect to t1 and t3 leads to 2D spectra as a function of excitation frequency 1 and detection frequency 3. When the pulse duration of the excitation pulses is short enough, the excitation fields can be approximately described by the Dirac delta function in the time domain, for which the thirdorder optical response function can be described within
+
+the rotating wave approximation in the impulsive limit. This is equivalent to the assumption that the laser spectrum is broad enough to cover the electronic states of the dimer system in the frequency domain. When the laser spectrum is not broad enough for a given system, one needs to take into account the pulse duration explicitly in 2D simulations69. For the waiting times longer than the pulse duration, it was found that the finite pulse duration mainly acts as a frequency filter70.
+Within the rotating wave approximation in the impulsive limit, rephasing 2D spectra are formally expressed as

+tion dipoles with the same magnitude, i.e. d1 � d2 = 0 and d1 � d1 = d2 � d2. In the GSB pathway, the system is in the ground state during waiting time t2, while in the SE and ESA pathways, the system is in the single excitation subspace during t2. Within our model, the oscillatory 2D signals originate only from the SE and ESA contributions, as we are not considering ground state vibrational coherences induced by underdamped vibrational motions.

+Appendix C: Inhomogeneous broadening
+Here we demonstrate how oscillatory features in the beating map are affected by inhomogeneous broadening. In Fig. 7, we consider uncorrelated disorder, where the site energies 1 and 2 of a dimer are described by two independent Gaussian distributions centered at the average values of 1 and 2 , respectively. Here we consider the same full width at half maximum (FWHM) for both Gaussian distributions, and employ the model parameters of the heterodimer used in Fig. 6, where
+1 = 12600 cm-1 and 2 = 12400 cm-1. Figs. 7(a) and (b) show the rephasing and non-rephasing beating maps, respectively, for the case of uncorrelated fluctuations (i.e.  = 10-3d) with the inhomogeneous broadening modeled by a FWHM of 50 cm-1. Compared to Figs. 6(a) and (e), where the inhomogeneous broadening is not considered, the overall 2D lineshapes in Figs. 7(a) and (b) become broader due to the inhomogeneous broadening. However, the oscillatory features in the rephasing diagonal-peaks and non-rephasing cross-peaks (i.e. nonsecular effects) and the asymmetric 2D lineshapes elongated along 1-axis are still visible. As the FWHM increases further, the 2D lineshapes are elongated along the diagonal (1 = 3), but non-secular effects are still visible for a FWHM of 100 cm-1, as shown in Figs. 7(c) and (d). This is somewhat relevant, as the static disorder of the FMO complex has been modeled by a FWHM of  100 cm-1 in other works54,71. On the other hand, for the case of correlated fluctuations, the rephasing beating map shows strong elongation of a cross-peak along diagonal, as shown in Fig. 7(e), while the non-rephasing beating map shows a relatively symmetric 2D lineshape of a diagonal peak, as shown in Fig. 7(f). This is due to the difference in the phase distributions of the rephasing and non-rephasing spectra in the (1, 3) domain46,72.
+
+Appendix D: Diagonalization of the Liouville space operator
+
+Within the Bloch-Redfield formalism, the oscillatory signals in rephasing spectra are induced by excited state coherences described by the stimulated emission (SE) and excited state absorption (ESA) contributions in the theory of 2D spectroscopy6 (cf. Eqs. (B3) and (B4)). Here we show how the SE contribution to the oscillatory rephasing signals can be described quantitatively to identify the role of non-secular couplings and spatial noise correlations in the beating map. The analytical approach, which will be presented below, can be generalized to the ESA contribution to the rephasing spectra as well as to the SE and ESA contributions to the non-rephasing spectra. The analysis is based on the diagonalization of the Liouville space operator. This approach can be generalized to the other quantum master equations beyond the Bloch-Redfield equation employed in this work.
+The lineshape of 2D spectra along excitation axis 1 is determined by the dynamics of optical coherences between ground state and singly excited states during the coherence time t1. In the exciton basis, the optical coherences are expressed as g1(t1) |g 1| + g2(t1) |g 2| where the time evolution of g1(t1) and g2(t1) is governed by

In (a) and (b), the rephasing beating map at a positive frequency of 2 = 283 cm-1 and the non-rephasing beating map at a negative frequency of 2 = -283 cm-1 are displayed, respectively, for the case that  = 10-3d (uncorrelated fluctuations) and the inhomogeneous broadening is modeled by Gaussian distributions with a FWHM of 50 cm-1. In (c) and
+(d), the rephasing and non-rephasing beating maps are displayed, respectively, for the case that  = 10-3d (uncorrelated
+fluctuations) and the inhomogeneous broadening is modeled by a larger FWHM of 100 cm-1. In (e) and (f), the rephasing and

+15
+
+Eq. (D1) can make the imaginary part of k deviate from the eigenvalue k of the system Hamiltonian (cf. Eqs. (7) and (8)), implying that 2D peak locations can be shifted by non-secular effects.
+These results imply that the dynamics of the eigenstates x^1 and x^2 of the super-operator X lead to the lower and higher energy peaks, respectively, along the excitation axis (cf. Figs. 2-6). When the off-diagonal components X12 and X21 are comparable or larger in magnitude than the difference in the diagonal components X11 and X22, e.g. |X12| |X11 - X22|, the eigenstates x^k become a superposition of the optical coherences |g 1| and |g 2| in the exciton basis. We note that the difference in X11 and X22 is larger in magnitude than the exciton splitting, i.e. |X11 - X22|  |Im[X11 - X22]| = | 2 - 1|, indicating that, as expected, the non-secular effects are suppressed as the exciton splitting increases. The mixing is also suppressed by correlations in the noise, i.e. X11, X22 = 0 and X12, X21  0 as 1 - e-d/  0 in
+
+Eqs. (D2)-(D5). So far we have analyzed the dynamics of the optical

This implies that as the exciton splitting increases in magnitude, the difference in diagonal components of Y increases, and as a result the nonsecular interactions between exciton populations ii(t) and inter-excitonic coherences ij(t) with i = j, and those between different inter-excitonic coherences 12(t) and 21(t) are suppressed. The second term on the right hand side in Eq. (D14) describes decoherence within the single excitation subspace. The factor (1 - e-d/) in Eq.

+
+tory 2D signals, there are only eight Feynman pathways

In this case, the dynamics of exciton populations are decoupled from those of inter-excitonic coherences, but the non-secular interaction between coherences can induce rephasing diagonal-peak oscillations. For the heterodimer, all the exciton populations and inter-excitonic coherences are coupled to one another and induce a population-coherence mixing in the eigenstates

+
+higher energy peaks have different homogeneous broadenings. When the spectral function satisfies C ( ) > C (0), as is the case of the model parameters used in this work, relaxation dominates the homogeneous broadening, and the higher energy peak shows a larger broadening than the lower energy peak, described by |Re[1]| < |Re[2]|. This leads to asymmetric lineshapes in the beating map, as shown in Figs. 4(a) and (b). As correlations in the noise increase, the super-operator X is governed by the pure dephasing noise described by C (0), as shown in Eqs. (D2)-(D5), where the relaxation described by C (� ) does not contribute to the homogeneous broadening, leading to |Re[1]|  |Re[2]| and symmetric lineshapes in the beating map, as shown in Figs. 4(g) and (h).

The first eigenstate y^1 is a superposition of the inter-excitonic coherences | 1 2| and | 2 1| due to the non-secular couplings Y12,21 and Y21,12. The imaginary part of the associated eigenvalue Im[1]  193 cm-1 shows that y^1 leads to a positive frequency component in the beating map with a beating frequency of 2  193 cm-1.

While the induced metric describes a 4dimensional Euclidean Anti-de-Sitter (AdS) space at the leading order as shown in the previous paper, the NLO corrections make the space asymptotically AdS only in UV and IR limits. Remarkably, while the AdS radius does not receive a NLO correction in the UV limit, the AdS radius decreases at the NLO in the IR limit, which corresponds to the Wilson-Fisher fixed point in the original scalar model in 3 dimensions. .....................................................................................................

+1 Introduction
+In the previous paper[1], the present authors studied the proposal[2] that a d + 1 dimensional induced metric can be constructed from a d dimensional field theory using gradient flow[3�6], applying the method to the O(N) 4 model. We have shown that in the large N limit the induced metric becomes classical and describes Euclidean Anti-de-Sitter (AdS) space in both ultra-violet (UV) and infra-red (IR) limits of the flow direction. The method proposed in Ref. [2] may provide an alternative way to understand the AdS/CFT (or more generally Gravity/Gauge theory) correspondence[7], and the result in Ref. [1] might be related to the correspondence between O(N) vector models in d-dimensions and (generalized) gravity theories in d + 1 dimensions[8].
+To further investigate a possible connection between Ref. [1] and Ref. [8] at the quantum level, one must calculate, for example, the anomalous dimension of the O(N) invariant operator 2(x), which requires the next-to-leading order (NLO) of the 1/N expansion for the flow equation to evaluate necessary quantum corrections. Since the method employed in Refs. [1, 2] is a specific one adopted for the large N limit, some systematic way to solve the flow equation in the 1/N expansion is needed.
+In this paper, we employ the Schwinger-Dyson equation (SDE) to solve the flow equation in the 1/N expansion for the O(N) invariant 4 model in d dimensions. Using this method we explicitly calculate the 2-pt and 4-pt functions at the NLO.
+As the first application of the NLO calculations, we define a running coupling from the connected 4-pt function of flowed fields, which runs with the flow time t such that t = 0 corresponds to the UV limit while t =  is the IR limit. This property establishes that the flow equation can be interpreted as a renormalization group transformation. In particular at d = 3, we show that the running coupling so defined has not only the asymptotic free UV fixed point but also a Wilson-Fisher IR fixed point for the massless case.
+As the second application, we investigate the NLO correction to the induced metric in 3 + 1 dimensions from the massless scalar model in 3 dimensions. In the massless limit, the whole 4-dimensional space becomes AdS at the leading order, as shown in Ref. [1]. The NLO corrections give a small perturbation to the metric, which makes the space asymptotically AdS in UV (t = 0) and IR (t = ) limits only. A remarkable thing is that, while the NLO corrections do not change the AdS radius in the UV limit, the AdS radius is reduced by the NLO correction in the IR limit, which corresponds to the Wilson-Fisher IR fixed point of the original theory. In other words, a nontrivial fixed point in the field theory leads to a change of the AdS radius in the geometry at the NLO. The induced metric at NLO
+2
+
+describes a 4-dimensional space connecting one asymptotically AdS space at UV to an other asymptotically AdS space at IR, which have different radii.
+This paper is organized as follows. In Sec. 2, we first introduce the O(N) invariant 4 model in d dimensions. We then formulate the Schwinger-Dyson equation (SDE) for the flowed fields, and solve it to derive 2-pt and 4-pt functions of flowed fields at the NLO. In Sec. 3, we define a running coupling from the connected 4-pt function of flowed fields and investigate its behavior as a function of the flow time t. In Sec. 4, we study the induced metric from the 3 dimensional massless scalar model at the NLO. We finally give a summary of this paper in Sec. 5. We collect all technical details in appendices. In appendix A, using the SDE, we present results at the NLO in the 1/N expansion of the d dimensional theory necessary for the main text. We also perform the renormalization of the d dimensional theory at the NLO, and explicitly calculate renormalization constants for various d. In appendix B, we give detailed derivations of solutions to the SDE for the flow fields at the NLO. We explicitly evaluate 2-pt and 4-pt functions of the flowed field in appendix C while we derive the induced metric in appendix D, for the massless scalar theory in 3 dimensions.

+2.1 Model in d dimensions
+
+In this paper, we consider the N component scalar 4 model in d dimensions, defined by the action
+
+S(�2, u) = N

+ddx

+,
+
+(1)
+
+where a(x) is an N component scalar field, ( � ) indicates an inner product of N compo-
+
+nent vectors such that 2(x)  (x) � (x) =
+
+N a=1
+
+a(x)a(x),
+
+�2
+
+is
+
+the
+
+bare
+
+scalar
+
+mass
+
+parameter, and u is the coupling constant of the 4 interaction, whose canonical dimension
+
+is 4 - d. While it is consistent to take u as N independent, as will be seen later, the mass
+
+parameter �2 is expanded as
+
+�2

+
+where �2i is cut-off dependent in order to make the physical mass finite order by order in the 1/N expansion.
+

+
+This model describes the free massive scalar at u = 0, while it is equivalent to the nonlinear  model (NLSM) in the u   limit, whose action is obtained from eq. (1) as

+
+Some regularization which preserves O(N) symmetry is assumed in this paper, so that we can always make formal manipulations without worrying about divergences.1 Calculations of 2-pt and 4-pt functions at the next-to-leading order (NLO) of the 1/N expansion in d dimensions will be given in appendix A.
+
+2.2 Flow equation in the 1/N expansion
+
+In this paper, we consider the flow equation, given by
+
+ t
+
+a(t,
+
+x)
+
+=
+
+-
+
+1 N
+
+S(�2f , uf a(x)

+-
+
+uf 6
+
+a(t,
+
+x)2(t,
+
+x),
+
+(5)
+
+
+
+a(0, x) = a(x),
+
+where �2f and uf can be different from �2 and u in the original d dimensional theory. As in the case of d dimensions, uf is kept fixed and N independent, whereas �2f is adjusted as
+
+�2f
+
+=
+
+m2f
+
+-
+
+uf 6
+
+Z(mf ),
+
+Z(mf )

+
+m2f
+
+,
+
+Dq
+
+
+
+ddq (2)d
+
+,
+
+(6)
+
+where mf is a renormalized mass. The flow with �f = � and uf = u is called gradient flow, as it is given by the gradient of the original action.
+In the case of the free flow (uf = 0), the solution is easily given by
+
+a(t, x) = et( -�2f )a(x).
+
+(7)
+
+We therefore consider the interacting flow (uf = 0) hereafter unless otherwise stated.
+
+1 We will call the infinite cutoff (  ) limit the 'continuum limit'.

+
+The above flow equation leads to the Schwinger-Dyson equation (SDE)[9] as

+Dzf a(z)O

+
+(8)
+
+where z = (t, x), O is an arbitrary operator and the expectation value O should be
+
+calculated in d dimensions as

+
+(11)
+
+i=1
+
+which is analogous to the d dimensional counterpart in eq. (A3). We consider only the
+
+symmetric phase in this paper, where 2n-1 = 0 for all positive integers n. We consider the next-to-leading order of the 1/N expansion, so that the following two
+
+SDE's need to be considered.

+
+3 Running coupling from flowed fields
+
+3.1 Definitions Using the connected 4-pt functions g  ^g^ for the flow fields given in eq. (25), we define
+the t-dependent dimensionless coupling as
+
+g(t) = -3g^(t, t; t, t|{p}sym)t2-d/2,
+
+(37)
+
+where {p}sym is given by p2i t = 3/4 (i = 1  4) and p212t = p234t =  (pij = pi + pj), which is the symmetric point for d > 2, and t2-d/2 is introduced to make the coupling dimension-
+less. Here  is an arbitrary dimensionless constant but we can take  = 1 without loss of
+
+7
+
+generality by the rescaling t  t. Explicitly we have
+
+g^(t, t; t, t|{p}sym) = 4X^ (t, t|{p}sym) + 4Y^ (t|{p}sym) + Z^(|{p}sym),
+
+(38)
+
+where we remove ^ by defining O = ^O^ for O = g, X, Y, Z, and

+3.2 Free flow
+For simplicity, we first consider the free flow, where g^(t, t; t, t|{p}sym) = Z^(|{p}sym). Taking  = 1, the running coupling is given by

+3.2.2 d = 3
+
+At d = 3, the running coupling is given by

+
+1

++
+
+ut 24

+u t =  0, t  0 ,

+(48)
+
+1 + u t/48
+
+ 48, t  
+
+which correspond to the asymptotic free UV fixed point and the Wilson-Fisher IR fixed point, respectively.
+
+3.2.3 d  4 Since B(Q2) diverges as d-4 (log  at d = 4) at d  4, the running coupling vanishes as
+the cut-off is removed (  ). Thus the theory is trivial in the continuum limit at d  4.
+
+3.3 Interacting flow in the massless limit at d = 3
+
+3.3.1 Massless limit
+We next consider the interacting flow case, where we need to evaluate X^ and Y^ , which are difficult to calculate in general. We therefore consider the massless limit.2 In this limit, the kernel function is reduced to
+
+K(t, s|{p}sym.) = Dd/2-1k0(Dt, Ds),
+
+(49)
+
+where
+
+k0(w, v)

+dz zd/2-2 exp

+(w - v)2z 2w
+
+,
+
+(50)
+
+and we regard D  Q2 = /t as an independent variable. Here the z integral is convergent
+
+for d > 2 while the bubble integral B(0|Q) is finite for d < 4. We thus concentrate on the
+
+d = 3 case hereafter.

+
+which should be compared with the same quantities calculated for the standard running coupling in the 3 dimensional massless theory in Ref. [10], where (0) = -1 (UV) and (48) = 1 (IR). The derivative of the  function at the fixed point gives the anomalous dimension of the operator conjugate to the coupling in the conformal theory at the fixed point, and thus is universal. Our flow coupling indeed satisfies this condition and the derivatives at the two fixed points agree with those for the conventional definition of the coupling. This establishes that our flow coupling gives a good definition of the running coupling of the theory. The scaling dimension  of the operator conjugate to the running coupling g0 is given by  = d + (g0), so that UV = 2 and IR = 4 in this model. Interestingly UV = 2 corresponds to the canonical dimension of the 4 operator in 3 dimensions, which is the interaction term in our theory.

+4 NLO corrections to the induced metric
+
+In Ref. [1], the induced metric has been calculated from the flowed scalar field in the
+
+large N limit. It has been shown that the metric from the massive scalar field describes a
+
+space which becomes the Euclidean AdS space asymptotically both in UV and IR limits,
+
+where the radius RIR in the IR is larger than the radius RUV in UV as
+

+
+=
+
+d
+
+- 2
+
+2 RI2R
+
+<
+
+RI2R,
+
+(66)
+
+while the metric describes the whole AdS space in the massless limit with the radius RUV. In this section, we consider the NLO correction to the induced metric in the 1/N expansion
+
+as another application of the NLO calculation, in particular, in the massless case at d = 3,
+
+in order to see whether the space remains AdS or not and how the radius changes at the
+
+NLO.
+
+4.1 Induced metric at NLO

+We cannot naively take the    limit in eqs. (75) and (76), on the other hand, due to the enhancement of the UV contribution of the Q integrals. Careful evaluations of these

+It is clear that the NLO correction to the AdS radius in the IR limit is related to the Wilson-Fisher fixed point in the original 3 dimensional scalar theory, since the eqs. (75) and (76) can be written as

+5 Summary
+In this paper, we studied the flow equation of the O(N) 4 model in d dimensions at the NLO in the 1/N expansion, employing the Schwinger-Dyson equation. We calculated the 2-pt and 4-pt functions at the NLO.
+As an application of the NLO calculation, we investigated the running coupling defined from the connected 4-pt function of flowed fields. In particular at d = 3 in the massless limit, we showed that the running coupling has two fixed points, the asymptotic free one in the UV region and the Wilson-Fisher one in the IR region. We also derived the corresponding

+5 It is interesting and also suggestive to see that the F-coefficient of the 3 dimensional O(N ) scalar model
+
+is given by FIR = FUV - (3)/(82) + O(1/N ), where FUV = N FS with FS  0.0638 as an example of a
+
+conjecture, the so-called "the F-theorem", which claims that the F-coefficient monotonically decreases along
+
+a RG trajectory connecting two 3 dimensional CFTs. Furthermore, in the holographic dual picture, the
+
+F-coefficient is proportional to the AdS radius squared. (See Ref. [11] and references therein.)

+function. Our study suggests that the flow equation can be interpreted as a renormalization group transformation.
+We also calculated the NLO correction to the d + 1 dimensional metric induced from the massless scalar field theory at d = 3. In the massless limit, the whole 4-dimensional space becomes AdS at the LO of the 1/N expansion[1]. We found that the NLO corrections give small perturbations to the metric, which make the space only asymptotically AdS in both UV (t = 0) and IR (t = ) limits. In addition, while the NLO corrections do not change the AdS radius at the LO in the UV limit, the AdS radius is reduced by the NLO correction in the IR limit, which corresponds to the Wilson-Fisher IR fixed point of the original theory. The nontrivial fixed point in the field theory appears as a change of the AdS radius at the NLO. The induced metric at NLO describes a 4-dimensional space which connects one asymptotically AdS space at UV to the other asymptotically AdS space at IR.
+This paper contains two important messages. One is that the flow equation can provide an alternative method to define a renormalization group transformation. The other is that the massless scalar field in d dimensions plus the extra dimension from the RG scale not only generates a d + 1 dimensional AdS space at LO[1] but also gives a NLO correction, which makes the d + 1 dimensional space asymptotically AdS only in UV and IR limits at d = 3. In particular, the AdS radius in the IR limit, which corresponds to the Wilson-Fisher fixed point, becomes smaller than that in the UV limit, which is equal to the radius at the LO. Although the relation found in this paper between the massless scalar field theory and the induced geometry is very suggestive, further studies will be needed to establish an alternative interpretation of AdS/CFT correspondences proposed in Ref. [2] in terms of field theories.

+A The 1/N expansion in the d dimensional theory
+In this appendix, we consider the 1/N expansion in the d dimensional theory.

+A.1 Schwinger-Dyson equation(SDE)
+
+In order to perform the 1/N expansion, we consider the SDE of this model, which can be written compactly as

+
+u 3!
+
+a(x)2(x)
+
+.
+
+Here the vacuum expectation value of an operator O is defined in eq. (9).
+
+We define 2n-point functions 2n6 as
+
+a1a2���a2n(x1, x2, � � � , x2n) = N 2n-1
+
+2n
+ai (xi )
+i=1
+
+ 2n[12 � � � (2n)]
+
+which can be written in terms of their connected parts K2n as
+
+(A1) (A2) (A3)
+
+4[1234] = K4[1234] + N {2[12]2[34] + 2[13]2[24] + 2[14]2[23]} , (A4)
+

+
+(A5)
+
+6 Note that we use the same notation 2n for the 2n-point functions in both d and d + 1 dimensions, since no confusion may occur.

+
+and so on. As mentioned in the main text, we assume we are working in a phase where O(N) symmetry is not broken. We therefore do not add the external source term h(x) to the action, so that the action has the symmetry under   -, which implies 2n-1 = 0 for all positive integers n.
+In terms of these, the SDE for X() = a2(x2) becomes

+
+Using the O(N) symmetry and assuming translational invariance (e.g. infinite volume or periodic boundary condition), we can write

+A.4 Renormalization
+Let us now consider the renormalization of the theory. Our renormalization condition for the renormalized 2-pt function R is given in momentum space as
+
+-R1(p)  p2 + m2,
+
+p2  0,
+
+(A32)
+
+where m is interpreted as the renormalized mass, which is independent of both N and the
+cut-off. Relating the bare field to the renormalized field by the renormalization constant ZR as ZR1/2R = , we explicitly obtain
+
+ZRR(p)
+
+=
+
+(p)

+

+
+1 N
+
+1(p2)
+
++
+
+O
+
+1 N2
+
+,
+
+(A33)
+
+where
+
+1(p2) = Z1p2 + C~ + g~(p2).
+
+(A34)
+
+At the LO of the 1/N expansion, the above condition implies
+
+�20

+=
+
+m2
+
+-
+
+u 6
+
+Z (m),
+
+ZR = 1,
+
+(A35)
+
+where Z(m) is potentially divergent at d > 1. We therefore introduce the momentum cutoff  to regulate the integral, and �20 is tuned to cancel the effect of Z(m) including such divergences, in order to keep the renormalized mass m finite and constant. The lattice regu-
+larization or dimensional regularization is more consistent than the momentum cut-off, but
+
+20
+
+calculations become much more complicated in the lattice regularization or power divergences are difficult to deal with in the dimensional regularization. Since the momentum cut-off is enough to see the leading divergences, we adopt it in this paper.
+At the NLO, the renormalization condition implies
+
+ZR

+
+.
+
+(A37)
+
+The renormalization condition for the coupling, which first appears at the NLO of the 1/N expansion, is given by G0(Q2 = s) = -ur(s)/3, so that ur(s) is regarded as the renormalized coupling at the scale s. Eq. (A20) thus leads to
+
+ur(s)

+1
+
++
+
+u
+
+u 6
+
+B
+
+(s)
+
+,
+
+(A38)
+
+where B(Q2) is divergent at d  4. Therefore the renormalized coupling goes to zero as
+
+ur(s)
+
+
+
+6 B(s)
+
+
+
+0,
+
+
+
+(A39)
+
+at d  4. This indicates the triviality of the 4 theory at d  4.

+B Solving the SED for the flow equation
+In this appendix we explicitly solve the SDE in d + 1 dimensions, in order to obtain the 2-pt and 4-pt functions for the flow fields at the NLO.
+
+B.1 Solution for 0
+
+We first solve the equation at the LO for 0. If we introduce one unknown function F (t, p) as
+
+0(12) =
+
+Dp
+
+F
+
+(t1, p)F (t2 p2 + m2
+
+,
+
+p)
+
+e-(p2+�2f
+
+)(t1+t2)
+
+eip(x1-x2)
+
+(B1)
+
+with the initial condition F (0, p) = 1, we have
+
+D1f 0(12) =
+
+Dp
+
+F
+
+(t1, p)F (t2 p2 + m2
+
+,
+
+p)
+
+e-(p2
+
++�2f
+
+)(t1+t2)

+eip(x1-x2)

+(B2)

+e-(p2+�2f

+)(t1+t2

+)eip(x1
+

+
+(B3)
+
+0(t1) = 0(11) =

+
+F 2(t1, p) p2 + m2
+
+e-2(p2+�2f
+
+)t1
+
+,
+
+(B4)
+
+where F means a t-derivative of F . Then, the SDE (20) becomes
+
+F (t, p) F (t, p)
+
+=
+
+-
+
+uf 6
+
+0(t),
+
+(B5)
+
+which tells us that F (t, p) is independent of p, so we put F (t, p) = F (t). The above equation is thus reduced to
+
+F (t)

+

+

+
+(B8)
+
+In the case of the interacting flow with uf > 0, �2f negatively diverges as Z(mf )  + in the continuum limit at d > 1 or as uf  + in the NLSM limit. In these limits, (t) vanishes as
+
+lim

+1/�4f
+
+(B9)
+
+for t > 0. In the case of free flow (uf = 0), we simply have F (t) = 1.
+
+We then obtain  
+0(12) =

+
+B.2 Solution for K0
+
+We consider K0, which appears at the NLO. The equation for K0 in eq. (22) is closed, once 0 is obtained. Using eq. (26), we have

+
+From eq. (B15), one can easily see t2t1g(12; 34|12; 34) = 0, which implies

+
+(B17) (B18)
+
+Since g(12; 34|12; 34) agrees with the amputated connected 4-pt function in the d dimensional theory at i = 0 (i = 1, 2, 3, 4), we obtain

+(B19)

+where (t|34) is defined in eq. (35). To solve this equation, we set

+Using the identities

+H[(t, t|p)] = 0; H[p2G1(t, t|p)] = 0(t) tH(t)
+
+(D14)
+

+GABOR TIGHT FUSION FRAMES: CONSTRUCTION AND APPLICATIONS IN SIGNAL RETRIEVAL MODULO PHASE
+MOZHGAN MOHAMMADPOUR, BRIAN TUOMANEN, AND RAJAB ALI KAMYABI GOL
+Abstract. Hilbert space fusion frames are a natural extension of Hilbert space frames, extending the notion from a set of vectors in a Hilbert space to a set of subspaces of a Hilbert space with analogous notions of overcompleteness and boundedness. As tight frames are a very important topic within standard frame theory, tight fusion frames are similarly important; however, only trivial examples of tight fusion frames are hitherto known. In this paper, we apply ideas from Gabor analysis to demonstrate a non-trivial construction of tight fusion frames by using the fact that a fusion frame for a finite dimensional Hilbert space H with M subspaces is a frame for the finite dimensional Hilbert space HM . We then use this construction to further show their applicability in some cases for the retrieval of signals modulo phase.
+1. Introduction
+Fusion frame theory has recently garnered great interest among researchers who work in signal processing. Fusion frames extend the notion of a frame (i.e., an overcomplete set of vectors) within a Hilbert space H to a collection of subspaces {Wi}iI (with orthogonal projections {Pi}iI ) in H. This concept was originally introduced by Kutyniok and Casazza in [10].
+A tight fusion frame is one such that we have the identity iI Pi = CIN�N , i.e., the sum of the projections is a multiple of the identity. Such tight fusion frames are of interest for two reasons. First, they guarantee a very simple reconstruction of a signal; and second, tight fusion frames are robust against noise [8] and also remain robust against a one-erasure subspace when the rank of projections are equal to each other [17].
+On the other hand, phaseless reconstruction is a field that has gathered interest in the mathematical community in the last decade. Phaseless reconstruction (or equivalently, phase retrieval) is defined as the recovery of a signal modulo phase from the absolute values of fusion frame measurement coefficients arising from a fusion frame. This is known to have applications to a disparate array of other scientific

+
+and applied disciplines, including X-ray crystallography [12], speech recognition [5, 18, 20], and quantum state tomography [19], where the recorded phase information of a signal is lost or distorted.
+In the case of phase retrieval, the signal must be recovered from coefficients of dimension higher than one. Here, in the context of fusion frames, the problem is to recover x  HM "up to phase" from the measurements { Pix }Ni=1.
+In this paper we demonstrate a new method for the construction of tight fusion frames. There are hithero few examples of tight fusion frames except trivial ones made up of orthogonal subspaces, so we believe this is a relevant and interesting advance. Moreover, there are few examples of phase retrieval fusion frames. In this paper, we present a condition that makes this structure allow phase retrieval.
+This article is organized as follows: Section 2 starts with preliminaries about tight fusion frames and phase retrievability of fusion frames. Section 3 is devoted to a brief summary of Gabor frames which is used to construct the tight fusion frames. In section 4, we explain our method to construct tight fusion frames. Section 5 focuses on finding conditions that makes our tight fusion frame allow phase retrieval, and our conclusion is in section 6.
+
+2. Preliminaries And Notation
+A fusion frame is defined as follows:
+Definition 2.1. Consider a Hilbert space H, with a collection of subspaces {Wi}iI and an associated set of positive weights {i}iI . We likewise denote the associated orthogonal projections Pi : H  Wi. Then we call {Wi}iI a fusion frame if there are positive constants 0 < A  B <  such that for any x  H we have the following:
+
+A x 2
+
+Pix 2  B x 2
+
+iI
+
+Definition 2.2. A tight fusion frame is a fusion frame as in 2.1 where A = B for all i  I. That is to say, we have the following for any x  H:
+
+Or, equivalently:
+
+Pix 2 = A x 2
+iI
+N
+AI = Pi
+i=1
+

+
+Now, consider an orthonormal basis for the range of Pi, that is {ei,}ni=1. We know that:
+n
+Pix = x, ei, ei,
+=1
+for all x  CN . Summing these equations over i = 1, � � � , N together
+
+N
+
+Nn
+
+Ax = Pix =
+
+x, ei, ei,
+
+i=1
+
+i=1 =1
+
+One can recover the signal modulo phase from fusion frame measurements. In this
+senario, consider we are given subspaces {Wi}Ni=1 of M -dimensional Hilbert space HM and orthogonal projections Pi : HM  Wi. We want to recover any x  HM (up to a global phase factor) from the fusion frame measurements { Pix }Ni=1. To fix notation, denote T = {c  C; |c| = 1}. The measurement process is then given
+
+by the map:
+
+A : CM /T  CN , Ax (n) = Pnx
+
+We say {Wi}Ni=1 allows phaseless reconstruction or allows phase retrieval if A is injective; we call a frame (or fusion frame) with this property a phase retrieval frame. In the case where dim Wi = 1 for i = 1, � � � , N , the problem will be referred to as the classical phaseless reconstruction problem. In section 4, we will provide a novel structure of tight fusion frames where under particular conditions, will allow phaseless reconstruction.
+
+3. Gabor Frames For CN
+
+In this section, we provide a brief summary of Gabor frames which is used to construct our tight fusion frames. We index the components of a vector x  CN by {0, 1, � � � , N - 1}, i.e., the cyclic group ZN . We will write x (k) instead of xk to avoid algebraic operations on indices.
+The discrete Fourier transform is basic in Gabor analysis and is defined as

+
+Fx (m) = x^ (m) =
+
+x
+
+(n)
+
+e-2im
+
+n N
+
+.
+
+n=0
+
+The most important properties of the Fourier transform are the Fourier inversion
+
+formula and the Parseval formula [9]. The inversion formula shows that any x can be
+
+written as a linear combination of harmonics. This means the normalized harmonics

+
+Moreover, the Parseval formula states

+x, y

+
+which results in

+
+Gabor analysis concerns the interplay of the Fourier transform, translation oper-
+
+ators, and modulation operators. The cyclic translation operator T : CN  CN is
+
+given by
+
+T x = T (x (0) , � � � , x (N - 1))t = (x (N - 1) , x (0) , � � � , x (N - 2))t .
+
+The translation Tk is given by Tkx (n) = T kx (n) = x (n - k) .
+
+The operator Tk alters the position of the entries of x. Note that n - k is achieved modulo N . The modulation operator M : CN  CN is given by
+
+Mx =

+
+Modulation operators are implemented as the pointwise product of the vector with

+
+Translation and modulation operators are referred to as time-shift and frequency
+
+shift operators. The time-frequency shift operator  (k, ) is the combination of
+
+translation operators and modulation operators:
+
+ (k, ) : CN  CN  (k, ) x = MTkx.
+
+Hence, the short time-Fourier transform V : CN  CN�N with respect to the window   CN can be written as
+
+N -1
+
+Vx (k, ) = x,  (k, )  =

+
+The short time-Fourier transform generally uses a window function , supported at neighborhood of zero that is translated by k. Hence, the pointwise product with x selects a portion of x centered at k, and this portion is analyzed using a Fourier
+
+GABOR TIGHT FUSION FRAMES
+

+
+transform. The inversion formula for the short time-Fourier transform is [9]

+
+So it can be easily seen that for all  = 0, the system is a N  2 tight Gabor frame.
+
+4. Gabor Fusion Frame For CN
+In this section, we show our method to construct Gabor tight fusion frames. In fact, we show that Gabor fusion frame for CN is a Gabor frame for CN�N where the signal is coming from the subspce CN  CN�N . The key idea is to start with a general approach for the construction of tight fusion frames, which has certain conditions that must be satisfied. We then show that these conditions are indeed satisfied using methods from the Gabor frame theory.
+We begin by showing the following proposition, which is the generalization of our approach with certain conditions:
+
+Proposition 4.1. Consider a collection of frame sequences {{fij}Li=1}M j=1 within the finite dimensional Hilbert space CN , and denote Wi := span{fij}M j=1. Suppose there exists an index i0 such that {fi0j}M j=1 is a B-tight frame for Wi0 and also a set of coisometry operators {Ui}Li=1 from CN to CN such that for each j = 1, ..., M , we have
+{fij }Li=1 = {Uifi0j}Li=1.
+Furthermore, if the set {fij}Li=1 is an Aj-tight frame in CN for every j = 1, � � � , M . Then we will have that {(Wi, 1)}Li=1 is a tight fusion frame.
+Proof. Consider x  Wi. The set {Uifi0j}M j=1 is a B-tight frame for Wi over i = 1, � � � , L, because
+
+M
+
+M
+
+| x, Uifi0j |2 = | Uix, fi0j |2

+
+j=1
+
+= B Uix 2
+
+=B x 2
+
+6
+
+MOHAMMADPOUR, TUOMANEN, AND KAMYABI GOL
+
+Hence we have, for any x  CN :
+
+L
+
+Pix 2 =
+
+L
+
+1 B
+
+M
+| Pix, fij |2
+
+i=1
+
+i=1 j=1
+
+=
+
+L
+
+1 B
+
+M
+| x, fij |2
+
+i=1 j=1
+
+=
+
+1 B
+
+M
+
+L
+| x, fij |2
+
+j=1 i=1
+
+=
+
+1 B
+
+M
+Aj
+j=1
+
+x
+
+2
+
+=
+
+M j=1
+
+Aj
+
+B
+
+x 2,
+
+where Pi is the orthogonal projection on Wi. The equality holds since {fij}Li=1 is an Aj-tight frame for CN for j = 1, � � � , M .
+
+In the following, we explain the method to construct tight fusion frame based on the Theorem 4.1 and Gabor frames on finite dimensional signals [9].
+To do this, every subspace W can be modeled by a matrix whose rows are an orthonormal basis for W . On the other hand, every subspace of dimension M can be represented by a matrix N � N whose first M rows are an orthonormal basis for W , since CN�M can be embeded in CN�N . For example if the subspace W is generated by {e1, � � � , eM }, then, the matrix associated to this subspace is as follows:
+[e1, � � � , eM , 0, � � � , 0]
+Moreover, a signal x of length N can be represenetd by a matrix of N � N since CN can be embeded in CN�N .
+X~ = [x, 0 � � � , 0]
+Based on the notation stated above, we define CN�N -valued inner product on CN�N as follows:
+X, Y = XY
+
+According to the notions above, if the subspaces Wi of a fusion frame is denoted by a matrices Xi, then the fusion frame {Wi}M i=1 for CN is the same as {Xi}M i=1 is a frame for CN�N , where x  CN  CN�N . This view point help us to extend several
+notions and theorems about frame theory to fusion frame theory. For example, the
+Gabor fusion frame is defined in the following way.
+
+GABOR TIGHT FUSION FRAMES
+

+
+The translation and modulation operators for the space of complex valued square matrix of dimension N are defined as follows: Consider l  ZN . The translation operator T~ : CN�N  CN�N is defined as follows:
+T~ (e1, � � � , eN ) = (Te1, � � � , TeN )
+In fact the translation operator T~ alters the position of each row of the matrix X. The modulation operator M~ : CN�N  CN�N is given by
+M~  (x1, � � � , xN ) = (Mx1, � � � , MxN )
+
+Modulation operators are implemented as the pointwise product of each row of the
+
+matrix
+
+X
+
+with
+
+harmonics
+
+e-2il
+
+. N
+
+.
+
+The translation and modulation operator on
+
+CN�N are unitary operators and the following properties can be concluded
+
+T~
+
+
+=
+
+T~ -1 = T~N-land
+
+M~ 
+
+
+=
+
+M~  -1 = M~ N-l.
+
+The circular convolution of two spaces X, Y  CN�N is defined by the convolution of functions, which defined on the space ZN � ZN or can be written as:
+
+XY =
+
+N -1
+
+N -1
+
+xi  y0-i, � � � , xi  yN-1-i
+
+i=0
+
+i=0
+
+Hence, if X~ = (x, 0, � � � , 0), the convolution of X~ and Y is given by
+
+X~  Y = (x  y0, � � � , x  yN-1)
+
+Moreover, the circular involution or circular adjoint of X  CN�N is given by
+
+X = (x1, � � � , xN )
+
+where x1, � � � , xN  Cp and xi () = x (N - ). Note that the complex linear space CN�N equipped with 1-norm, the circular convolution and involution defined above
+is a Banach -algebra. The unitary discrete Fourier transform of X  CN�N is defined by
+
+X^ = (FN (x1) , � � � , FN (xN ))
+
+where x1, � � � , xN  CN and the Fourier transform xi is given by

+for X, Y  CN�N and   ZN . The inverse Fourier formula for X  CN�N is given by
+X = (x1, � � � , xN ) = FN-1 (x1) , � � � , FN-1 (xN ) 
+Translation operators are refered as time shift operators and modulation operators are refered as frequency shift operators. Time-frequency shift operators  (k, l) combines translations by k and modulation by l.

+The Gabor Fusion transform VY of a signal x  CN with respect to the window Y  CN�N is given by
+
+(4.1)
+
+VYx (k, ) = x,  (k, ) Y = Vy0 x (k, ) , � � � , VyN-1 x (k, ) 
+
+Now consider Y  CN�N and   {0, � � � , N - 1} � {0, � � � , N - 1}. The set
+
+(Y, ) = { (k, ) Y}(k,)
+is called the Gabor Fusion System which is generated by Y and . A Gabor Fusion System which spans CN is a fusion frame and is referred to as a Gabor Fusion Frame. Next theorem explains the necessary conditions that the set {M~T~kY}N=,N1,k=1 becomes a tight fusion frame.
+
+Theorem 4.2. Assume x  CN and {y1, � � � , yM } is a B-tight fusion frame for
+
+WN,N = span{y1, � � � , yM }. Consider also Wk, = span{TkMyj }M j=1 for k,  =

+
+is a Aj = N yj 2 tight frame in CN by the elementary Gabor theory (this can be
+
+seen the prior section). It should clear by its nature that the time-frequency shift
+
+operator TkM is a co-isometry for a set k, , since it was mentioned before Tk and
+
+M are both unitary operators for every k, . Finally, we know by the assumption

+5. Gabor Fusion Frames and Phaseless Reconstruction
+
+In this section, we are looking for some conditions such that the tight Gabor fusion frame allows phase retrieval. To state these conditions, we provide some theorems should be necessary to explain the main result. The next lemma shows that if we add a vector to a phaseless retrieval frame, the new frame also allows phaseless retrieval.
+
+Lemma 5.1. Let {i}Ni=1 be a frame for CN that allows phase reconstruction. If we add a vector N+1 to {i}Ni=1, then {i}Ni=+11, this will also allow phaseless recon-
+struction.
+
+Proof. Consider that for x1, x2  CN , we have {| x1, i |}Ni=+11 = {| x2, i |}Ni=+11. Hence, we have {| x1, i |}Ni=1 = {| x2, i |}Ni=1. So, x1 = cx2 where |c| = 1 since {i}Ni=1 allows phase retrieval for CN . Thus {i}Ni=+11 also allows phase retrieval.
+The prior lemma is important in the construction of phase retrieval frames. If we have a phase retrieval frame for CN , then we can construct a new frame that also allows phase retrieval by adding a vector to the frame vector set. On the other hand, to show the phase retrievability of a frame, it is enough to show that a subset of the frame vectors that spans the ambient space allows phaseless reconstruction.
+Next proposition will state the conditions such that a fusion frame is phase retrieval
+
+Proposition 5.2. Let {ei}Ni=1 be an orthonormal basis for CN . Moreover, for every j = 1, � � � , M ,{fij}ni=1 is a Parseval frame for the subspace Wj generated by these vectors and fij is the linear sumation of {ei}Ni=1. Suppose that {fij}M j=1 for every i = 1, � � � , n is a Parseval frame for CN and {Wj}M j=1 is a fusion frame and there exists i0 such that {fi0j}M j=1 is a phase retrieval frame for CN . Then {Wj}M j=1 is a phase retrieval fusion frame for CN if the matrix SM�N has a left inverse matrix
+VN�M such that
+V S = IN�N .
+
+Proof. To show that there is an injective mapping from the fusion frame mea-
+
+surements, { Pj x 22}M j=1, to the vector x modulo phase (i.e., the equivalence class {cx : |c| = 1}), we can just show that we can derive the values of the frame mea-
+
+surements {| x, fi0j |2}M j=0 from the fusion frame measurements. We can see this in the following way:
+
+We denote | x, ei |2 = i for i = 1, � � � , N . On the other hand

+
+since {fij}ni=1 is a Parseval frame for CN for every j = 1, � � � , M and fij is the linear summation of {ei}Ni=1. We denote S = [cij ]M j=,1N,i=1. Now consider S. We will get

+
+Since S has a left inverse matrix V and {fi0j}M j=1 is a phase retrieval frame for CN , we are done.
+
+The Proposition 5.2 has an important role to construct phase retrieval fusion frame based on the phase retrieval frame.
+
+5.1. A Brief Overview of Circulant Matrices. We will need to review a few key concepts of circulant matrices before we continue to the next section.
+
+Definition 5.3. A circulant matrix is a matrix of the following form:

+
+C = cNc...1-2

+
+Remark 5.4. We denote the jth division of unity as
+
+j = exp
+
+2ij N
+
+We will need the following theorem; a proof is given in [16]
+
+Theorem 5.5. Let C be an N � N circulant matrix. Then det(C) = jN=-01 c0 + c1j + c2j2 + � � � + cN-1jN-1 .
+Lemma 5.6. Let C be a matrix as in 5.3 with c0, c1, . . . , cn-1 = 1 and cn, cn+1, . . . , cN+1 = 0 for some 0 < n < N . Then C is singular if and only if there is some value j, 1  j  N - 1, such that N divides into jn.
+
+Proof. By 5.5, we know that C is singular if and only if there is some j where

+5.2. Construction of Gabor Tight Fusion Frame. In [6] the conditions on the window function such that the generated Gabor frame allows phase retrieval are given; we now present a method to produce a phase retrieval Gabor fusion frame. The following theorem demonstrates the relationship of the phase retrievability of the Gabor fusion frames and the phase retrievability of the frame vectors which spans subspaces.
+
+Theorem 5.7. Let {ei}Ni=1 be an orthonormal basis for CN . Let {fi}Ni=1 is a Parseval
+
+frame for the n-dimensional subspace W0,0  CN spanned by these vectors and fi for

+Theorem 5.7 demonstrates the relationship between the phase retrievality of Gabor frame and its associated Gabor fusion frame. In [6] the conditions on the window function such that the generated Gabor frame allows phaseless reconstruction are given. Based on Theorem 5.7, we presented a method to produce phase retrieval Gabor fusion frame.
+We shall end with a brief example of a Gabor fusion frame that allows phase retrieval, as an application of the prior theorem:
+ Example 5.8. Consider the orthogonal unit vectors e1 = 1{1,2,4}/ 3 and e2 = 1{3} in the space C7. By the Proposition 2.2 in [6], {TkMle1}6k,l=0 is a phase retrieval Gabor frame for C7. Suppose that Yk,l = span {TkMlei}2i=1 for k, l = 0, � � � , 6. Since e1 and e2 are orthogonal so they are tight frame for the subspace W0,0. As a result we fullfill the requirements of the Theorem 5.7 and the Gabor fusion frame {Yk,l}6k,l=0 allows phaseless reconstruction.

+Abstract The four-dimensional (4D) Lorentz group SL(2, C) acts as the two-dimensional (2D) global conformal group on the celestial sphere at infinity where asymptotic 4D scattering states are specified. Consequent similarities of 4D flat space amplitudes and 2D correlators on the conformal sphere are obscured by the fact that the former are usually expressed in terms of asymptotic wavefunctions which transform simply under spacetime translations rather than the Lorentz SL(2, C). In this paper we construct on-shell massive scalar wavefunctions in 4D Minkowski space that transform as SL(2, C) conformal primaries. Scattering amplitudes of these wavefunctions are SL(2, C) covariant by construction. For certain mass relations, we show explicitly that their three-point amplitude reduces to the known unique form of a 2D CFT primary three-point function and compute the coefficient. The computation proceeds naturally via Witten-like diagrams on a hyperbolic slicing of Minkowski space and has a holographic flavor.

+1 Introduction
+Quantum field theory (QFT) scattering amplitudes in four-dimensional (4D) Minkowski space are typically expressed in terms of asymptotic plane wave solutions to the free wave equation. Translation invariance is manifest because the plane waves simply acquire phases which cancel due to momentum conservation. The SL(2, C) Lorentz invariance is more subtle as plane waves transform non-trivially into one another. In this paper we find a basis of SL(2, C) primary solutions to the massive scalar wave equation and recast certain 4D scattering amplitudes in a manifestly SL(2, C) covariant form. This form is very familiar from the the study of two-dimensional (2D) conformal field theory (CFT), in which SL(2, C) acts as the global conformal group. The appearance of the 2D conformal group is no coincidence, since the Lorentz group acts as the global conformal group on the celestial sphere, denoted by CS2, at null infinity where the asymptotic states are specified.
+Studies of the SL(2, C) properties of scattering amplitudes date back to Dirac [1], but a new reason has arisen for interest in the topic. When gravity is coupled, it was conjectured in [2�5] that the SL(2, C) is enhanced to the full infinite-dimensional local conformal (or Virasoro) group. This conjecture was recently proven [6�8] to follow at tree level1 from the new subleading soft graviton theorem of [15].2 While the full Virasoro appears only when gravity is coupled, the scattering amplitudes of any QFT that can be coupled to gravity are
+1The subleading soft theorem has a one-loop exact anomaly [9�12] whose effects remain to be understood but are recently discussed in [13, 14].
+2One may hope that ultimately 4D quantum gravity scattering amplitudes are found to have a dual holographic representation as some exotic 2D CFT on CS2, but at present there are no proposals for such a construction.

+constrained to be `Virasoro-ready'.3 This suggests that they should resemble a subset of 2D CFT correlators, likely involving complex and continuous conformal dimensions. Indeed it has already been observed [16,17] that soft photon amplitudes take the form of a 2D current algebra. Here we seek to understand the 2D description of 4D scattering amplitudes away from the soft limit.
+
+This paper considers massive scalar three-point functions, and recasts them in the standard form of 2D CFT correlators on the celestial sphere CS2. To summarize the result, let X� (� = 0, 1, 2, 3) be the flat coordinates on Minkowski space. A natural coordinate on CS2

+Here the complex parameters a, b, c, d obey ad - bc = 1. We will construct a three-parameter family of solutions labelled by a point w on CS2 and an SL(2, C) weight  (rather than the three components of spatial momenta p which label plane waves) which transform as conformal primaries. We will find below they are naturally displayed in a hyperbolic slicing of Minkowski space, in harmony with the form of flat space holography advocated in [2]. SL(2, C) then implies that the 4D tree amplitude takes the form

+
+where the `OPE coefficients' C depends on the masses, conformal weights, and cubic coupling of the three asymptotic scalars. An integral formula for C involving Witten-like diagrams on the hyperbolic slices is derived. In general this integral may not be computable in closed form, but it simplifies in the near-extremal case when the incoming particle is only slightly heavier than the sum of the outgoing particles and is explicitly given below.
+Other tractable examples would be of great interest. In particular, the beautiful structure of N = 4 amplitudes suggest they may take a particularly nice 2D form rewritten as correlators on CS2. In [8] one contribution to such amplitudes (from the interior of the forward lightcone) was expressed as a Witten diagram, but to obtain the full amplitude additional harder-to-compute contributions (from outside the lightcone) must be added in. This remains an outstanding open problem.
+3This generalizes the well known constraint that any QFT that can be coupled to gravity must have a local conserved stress tensor.
+
+2
+
+The utility of hyperbolic slicing was already noticed in a context with some similarity to the present one by Ashtekar and Romano in [18]. de Boer and Solodukhin initiated a program to understand flat space holography in terms of AdS holography via hyperbolic slicing in [2]. Soft theorems and aspects of scattering were hyberbolically studied in [8, 19�21]. In the context of the recent revival of the conformal bootstrap program, the linear realization of the conformal symmetry in the embedding Minkowski space has been used to simplify computations of, for example, conformal blocks and propagators in AdS [22�26].
+The outline of the paper is as follows. In Section 2 we define and construct the massive and massless scalar wavefunctions that are conformal primaries of the Lorentz group SL(2, C). Our construction, equation (2.10) below, is a convolution of plane waves with the bulk-toboundary propagator on the hyperbolic slice H3, and is evaluated in terms of Bessel functions. We also present an integral transform that takes a massive scalar scattering amplitude into an SL(2, C) covariant correlation function. In Section 3 we compute the three-point amplitude of massive conformal primary wavefunctions in the near-extremal limit. The main result is equation (3.13). In Appendix A we compute the Klein-Gordon inner product of these primary wavefunctions for a fixed mass.
+
+2 Conformal Primary Wavefunctions
+
+In this section we construct scalar wavefunctions that are conformal primaries of the Lorentz group SL(2, C). A scalar conformal primary wavefunction ,m(X�; w, w�) of mass m and conformal dimension  is defined by the following two properties:
+
+1. It is a solution to the Klein-Gordon equation of mass m,4

+
+Note that, in contrast to the situation in AdS/CFT, the mass m and the conformal dimension  are not related.
+4We will use the (-, +, +, +) convention for the signature in R1,3. 5There is no canonical way to embed the celestial sphere into the lightcone in Minkowski space. It follows

+
+2.1 Integral Representation
+
+Conformal primary wavefunctions for a massive scalar field can be constructed from the Fourier transform of the bulk-to-boundary propagator in three-dimensional hyperbolic space H3. Let (y, z, z�) be the Poincar�e coordinates of the H3 with metric,
+
+ds2H3
+
+=
+
+dy2
+
++ dzdz� y2
+
+.
+
+(2.3)
+
+Here 0 < y <  and y = 0 is the boundary of the H3. This geometry has an SL(2, C) isometry that acts as
+
+(az + b)(c�z� + d�) + ac�y2 z  z = |cz + d|2 + |c|2y2 ,
+
+(a�z� + �b)(cz + d) + a�cy2

+yy =
+
+,
+
+|cz + d|2 + |c|2y2
+
+(2.4)
+
+with a, b, c, d  C and ad - bc = 1. The H3 can be embedded into R1,3 as either one of the two branches (p^0 > 0 or p^0 < 0) of the unit hyperboloid
+
+-(p^0)2 + (p^1)2 + (p^2)2 + (p^3)2 = -1 .
+
+(2.5)
+
+More explicitly, we can choose this embedding map p^� : H3 R1,3 for the upper hyperboloid, corresponding to an outgoing particle, to be
+
+p^�(y, z, z�) =
+
+1 + y2 + |z|2 Re(z) Im(z) 1 - y2 - |z|2
+
+,
+
+,
+

+

+
+yy

+
+(2.6)
+
+This implies the useful relation
+
+p^1 + ip^2
+
+z=
+
+.
+
+p^0 + p^3
+
+(2.7)
+
+Let G(y, z, z�; w, w�) be the scalar bulk-to-boundary propagator of conformal dimension  in H3 [27],
+
+y
+
+
+
+G(y, z, z�; w, w�) = y2 + |z - w|2 .
+
+(2.8)
+
+that there is also no canonical way to associate a M�obius action on w with an SL(2, C) element � in the four-dimensional representation. In fact, any two �'s that differ by an SL(2, C) conjugation are equally good for our definition. Below we will make a choice of the map �(a, b, c, d) by fixing a reference frame for p^� in (2.6). More explicitly, � is the SL(2, C) transformation matrix acting on p^� given by plugging (2.4)
+into (2.6).
+
+4
+
+This transforms covariantly under the SL(2, C) transformation (2.4),
+
+G(y , z , z� ; w , w� ) = |cw + d|2G(y, z, z�; w, w�) , where w = (aw + b)/(cw + d) and w� = (a�w� + �b)/(c�w� + d�).
+
+(2.9)
+
+The conformal primary wavefunction for a massive scalar is
+
+�,m(X�; w, w�) =
+
+ dy 0 y3
+
+dzdz� G(y, z, z�; w, w�) exp �im p^�(y, z, z�) X� ,
+
+(2.10)
+
+where we pick the minus (plus) sign for an incoming (outgoing) particle. In the next subsection we will see that potentially divergent integrals can be regulated in an SL(2, C) covariant manner by complexifying the mass m and (2.10) is expressed in terms of Bessel functions.
+
+It is trivial to check that (2.10) is indeed a conformal primary wavefunction. First, it satisfies the massive Klein-Gordon equation because each plane wave factor eimp^�X does. Second, it is a conformal quasi-primary (in the sense of (2.2)) because of the SL(2, C) covariance (2.9) of the bulk-to-boundary propagator in H3. Our definition and formula for the conformal primary wavefunction (2.10) can be readily generalized to Minkowski space of any dimension R1,d+1 and it would transform covariantly under the Euclidean d-dimensional conformal group SO(1, d + 1).
+
+The H3 is embedded, via the map (2.6), into the hyperboloid in the momentum space, rather than position space and the boundary point w, w� might seem to live at the boundary of momentum space rather than Minkowski space. However, these spaces are canonically identified. The trajectory of a free massive particle is
+
+X�(s) = p^�s + X0� .

+At late times, s  , - X2   and

+
+(2.12)
+
+That is, massive particles asymptote to a fixed position on the hyperbolic slices of Minkowski determined by their four-momenta. Hence (w, w�) can be interpreted as a boundary coordinate of the late-time asymptotic H3 slice.
+Although we are far from constructing any example of such, the authors of [2] speculate on a boundary 2D CFT (of some exotic variety) on CS2 a subset of whose correlation functions are the 4D bulk Minkowski scattering amplitudes. Every bulk field would be dual to a continuum of operators labelled by their conformal weights. In this putative 2D CFT, the scalar bulk field mode (2.10) would be holographically dual to a local scalar boundary operator O(w, w�) of dimension .

+
+The SL(2, C) covariance of the conformal primary wavefunction implies the SL(2, C)
+
+covariance of any scattering amplitudes constructed from them. Let p�j be the on-shell
+
+momenta of n massive scalars of masses mj (j = 1, � � � , n). Given any Lorentz invariant
+
+n-point momentum-space scattering amplitude A(p�j ) of these massive scalars (including the

+2.2 Analytic Continuation and the Massless Wavefunction
+
+The integral expression (2.10) is only a formal definition for the conformal primary wave-
+
+function since the integral is divergent for real mass m. More rigorously, we should define our
+
+conformal primary wavefunction by analytic continuation of the integral expression (2.10)
+
+from an unphysical region. When the mass is purely imaginary m  -iR+ and X� lies inside
+
+the future lightcone, the outgoing wavefunction (2.10) is convergent and can be evaluated as
+
+
+
++,m(X�; w, w�)
+
+=
+
+4 ( -X2)-1 |m| (-X�q�) K-1
+
+ |m| -X2
+
+,
+
+if X0 > 0 , X�X� < 0 , m  -iR+ ,
+
+(2.15)
+
+where q� is a null vector in R1,3 defined as
+
+q� = 1 + |w|2, w + w�, -i(w - w�), 1 - |w|2 .
+
+(2.16)
+
+After landing on the Bessel function expression (2.15), we can then analytically continue it
+
+to real mass m and other regions in R1,3,
+
+
+
+�,m(X�; w, w�)

+
+4 im

+( -X2)-1 (-X�q�  i ) K-1

+
+.
+
+(2.17)
+
+We have introduced an i prescription to regularize the integral (2.10) in the case of real mass m. In practice, the integral representation (2.10) will however prove to be more convenient to compute the scattering amplitudes of these conformal primary wavefunctions.

+
+3 Massive Three-Point Amplitude
+
+In this section we will consider the tree-level three-point amplitude A~(wi, w�i) of the conformal
+primary wavefunction (2.10) �i,mi(X�; wi, w�i), interacting through a local cubic vertex in R1,3,
+
+L  123 + � � � .
+
+(3.1)
+
+The three point scattering amplitude for plane waves is then simply
+
+A(pi) = i(2)4 (4)(-p1 + p2 + p3) .
+
+(3.2)
+
+6One should take the square root in (2.17) corresponding to the decaying exponent when X� is outside
+the lightcone. 7Here we have dropped an overall constant factor compared to the massless limit of (2.17).
+
+7
+
+For conformal primary wavefunctions we have
+
+A~(wi, w�i) = i
+
+3
+d4X -1,m1 (X�; w1, w�1) +i,mi (X�; wi, w�i) ,
+i=2
+
+(3.3)
+
+where we take the first particle to be incoming and the other two be outgoing. The threepoint amplitude is fixed by the SL(2, C) covariance (2.2) to be proportional to the standard three-point function in a two-dimensional CFT:
+
+A~(wi, w�i)
+
+
+
+|w1

+
+-
+
+ w3|2+3-1 |w3
+
+-
+
+w1|3+1-2
+
+,
+
+(3.4)
+
+but it is nevertheless satisfying to see this formula explicitly appear in a 4D scattering amplitude. We wish to determine the finite proportionality constant which is a function of the masses mi and the conformal dimensions i. In general these are given by the integral expression (3.3) which may not be possible to analytically evaluate. We will compute this
+
+constant explicitly in the near-extremal case when the mass of the first particle is slightly heavier than the sum of those of the other two. In this case the integral simplifies considerably and the three-point amplitude reduces to the tree-level three-point Witten diagram in H3.
+
+Let the mass of the first particle be 2(1 + )m with   0 and the masses of the other two particles be m. Evaluating the X�-integral, we arrive at the following expression for the scalar three-point amplitude,8
+
+A~(wi, w�i) = i(2)4m-4

+
+where p^�i  p^�(yi, zi, z�i) as defined in (2.6). Note the integral does not take the form of a tree-level three-point Witten diagram in H3 for general   0.
+
+We now perform the y3, z3, z�3-integrals to get rid of three delta functions. As a result, we have

+
+8We will use the integral representation (2.10) of the conformal primary wavefunction to simplify the calculation of the amplitude and eventually make contact with the Witten diagram in H3 in the near extremal limit. However, as discussed at the end of Section 2, the integral representation of our the conformal primary wavefunction is divergent for real mass m and the proper definition requires an analytic continuation from the Bessel function expression (2.15). Nonetheless, we will see that the three-point amplitude computed using the integral representation turns out to be finite.

+
+So far we have not taken any limit on the masses 2(1 + )m, m, m of the three particles.
+
+Now let us consider the near extremal limit   0. In this limit the three momenta mip^i become collinear and the corresponding points (yi, zi, z�i) in H3 become coincident. To leading order in , the solution of R can be approximated by

+
+In the near extremal limit we have R  0, hence the three bulk points yi, zi, z�i in H3 become coincident as commented above. We can then bring the three bulk-to-boundary propagators outside the R, , -integral. Next, by a simple power counting of R, we find that the threepoint amplitude of the conformal primary wavefunction is zero when  = 0, which is related to the fact that the the phase space vanishes for marginal decay process.

The logical information becomes progressively more well-protected against erasure errors at larger length scales. In particular, an approximate variant of holographic quantum error correcting code emerges at low energy for critical systems.

+1 Introduction
+In most physical theories, the notion of locality is imposed, as opposed to being derived from more elementary principles. The AdS/CFT correspondence indicates that this picture may need to be amended, at least for studying the quantum theory of gravity [1�3]. An interpretation of the duality in the language of the quantum error correcting codes[4], and the proposal that spacetime may be built out of entanglement [5], suggests a fruitful avenue along which we can study these questions in the language of quantum information theory.
+There has been a recent surge of activity devoted to constructing holographic quantum error correcting codes[6�9]. These are families of codes which can be formally expressed as an encoding map from the bulk theory to the boundary theory or vice versa. While the details behind these codes vary, they share a number of interesting properties. The operators in the bulk can be mapped to operators on the boundary which obeys certain quantum error correction properties outlined in Ref.[4]. They can also reproduce, to some extent, the celebrated Ryu-Takayanagi formula [10].
+However, several important issues remain unresolved. Most importantly, these codes are constructed from scratch, as opposed to being derived from a set of well-motivated assumptions. If we believe in the unitary equivalence of CFT and the quantum theory of gravity in AdS space, we should be able to explain how such codes emerge from the
+�1�
+
+properties of the CFT. Second, the question of dynamics remains open. Modulo one exception [7], these codes are formally maps from the bulk to the boundary that are injective but not surjective. Therefore, acting a Hamiltonian on the code state will generically produce a state that is outside the code subspace. Furthermore, the boundary Hamiltonian, even if it is local, becomes generically non-local once it is mapped to an operator in the bulk. Resolving what it means to have causal bulk dynamics in the presence of these complications is clearly a nontrivial problem.
+The purpose of this paper is to make progress on these important issues. First, we show that an approximate version of holographic quantum error correcting code emerges at low energy at criticality at scales large compared to the AdS radius, if the ground state can be well-approximated by a certain multi-scale entanglement renormalization ansatz (MERA) [11] for which correlations decay polynomially with distance. Empirical evidences suggest that this is likely to be true for quantum spin systems at criticality [12]. If that is indeed true, our work implies that certain variants of holographic quantum error correcting codes naturally emerge in these systems. We also derive fundamental bounds on the error correcting capabilities of these codes. As for the dynamics, we derive a Lieb-Robinson type locality bound [13] between two observables that are largely separated in scale. It is important to note that these observables generally do not even commute with each other. Despite this fact, they behave as if they were spatially separated operators undergoing a dynamics generated by a local Hamiltonian. In some sense, the causal dynamics in the bulk emerges from the universal structure of entanglement at low energy.
+Our work supports the proposals to interpret MERA as a discrete analogue of the AdS/CFT correspondence[14�17], at least at scales large compared to the AdS radius. In order to be able to accommodate locality at sub-AdS scale, one would need to incorporate more fine-grained structures. In its present form, our conclusion is so general that it is even applicable to free-fermion systems, which is unlikely to admit a semiclassical gravitational dual [18].
+It has been known that tensor networks such as MERA lead to constructions of various quantum error correcting codes [19]. What is interesting is that, as suggested by Pastawski et al. [20], these codes naturally appear at low energies of critical systems. These codes differ greatly from the so called topological codes[21] in that (i) erasures of bounded regions can be corrected up to a polynomially small error, rather than exponentially small error and that (ii) one in fact has a family of codes that are related to the geometric data of the hyperbolic space. Our work provides a concrete framework and technical tools from which the structure of these codes can be studied.
+The results presented here rely on a very general property of entanglement renormalization and on recent insights from the theory of approximate quantum error correction (AQEC) [22]. It is particularly illuminating to use entanglement renormalization in the "Heisenberg picture," wherein the renormalization group (RG) flow acts on the space of observables. This is an observation already made in the literature [23, 24], which we generalized substantially in this paper. The only property that we use is the fact that this RG flow (i) preserves locality and that (ii) it is norm-nonincreasing. Both of these properties are manifestly true for various proposed forms of entanglement renormalization, but they
+�2�
+
+are not the only possibilities. While we restrict ourselves to one-dimensional systems for concreteness, it should be clear that these two properties are sufficient to guarantee a similar conclusion in more generalized settings, e.g., higher dimensions and different spacetime geometry. The insight that we bring from AQEC is a duality relation between decoupling and recoverability; the degree to which quantum information can be recovered from a given region is exactly equal to the degree to which certain regions are completely decoupled from each other[22, 25, 26].
+In Section 2, we review basic facts about entanglement renormalization and derive several identities that form the basis of our analysis. In Section 3, we sketch the relation between entanglement renormalization and error correction in the context of holography. We then derive fundamental properties of error correcting codes that emerge from entanglement renormalization in Section 4. In Section 5, we use these properties to constrain the support of the logical operator and derive a Lieb-Robinson type locality bound between two bulk observables.
+2 Entanglement Renormalization
+Entanglement renormalization was introduced by Vidal [11, 27] to numerically study the critical behavior of one-dimensional quantum many-body systems. Generalizations to higher dimensions are known [28]. We review the basic notions underlying these constructions, and review several facts that are pertinent to this paper. MERA is a many-body quantum state that is created by applying a quantum circuit to a simple product state, say |0 N , where N is the number of qubits.
+There are two important properties that underlie this circuit, and these will form the basis of our argument. First, the circuit is hierarchical. It can be decomposed into a sequence of isometries, which are labeled in terms of a parameter (s) that ranges from 0 to O(log N ). These isometries will play an important role; we denote them Ws. It should be noted that the isometry Ws maps vectors of the Hilbert space at "scale" s to the Hilbert space at scale s - 1. These Hilbert spaces are denoted Hs. In particular, H0 is the physical Hilbert space. Second, at every level s, the isometry Ws preserves locality. Applying the dual of these isometries to a local operator results in another local operator; that is, the support of WsOsWs can only be larger than the support of Os by a constant amount, where Os is acting on Hs.
+In the original construction of Ref. [11], Ws is the composition of a global product of isometries and disentanglers at scale s: Ws := xsVxs ys Uys, where xs and ys are an index of the position along the chain at level s. In Figures 1 and 2, for convenience, we will illustrate binary MERA constructions with uniform isometries Vxs = V and unitaries Uxs = U , however our results hold for the more general construction above.
+While MERA is usually a single state, we will instead consider a family of subspaces, Cs. These subspaces are defined in terms of the isometries from Hs to H0: Cs = {W1 � � � Ws |s | |s  Hs}. In Fig. 1, we have illustrated C5 for Ws := xsVxs ys Uys. It should be clear that for any finite MERA construction there exists an smax = O(log(N )) such that Cs is trivial for all s  smax.

The green blocks represent local observables. a) A MERA network up to level s = 5 with the isometries Ws := xs Vxs ys Uys . The yellow box at the top of the figure represents the Hilbert space H5 and can be considered as the bare logical vectors. The MERA circuit serves as an encoding map from the logical space Hs onto the physical one Cs. b) The past causal cone of a local observable in the physical space (the boundary). Locality (3-adjacent) of the observable is preserved at all levels of the network. c) The transfer operator (�) acting on an elementary block.
+
+For further analysis, it will be convenient to work in terms of a certain family of purified states. Consider a state  acting on Hs. We would like to consider a family of states that are (i) first purified and (ii) then mapped into the Hilbert space Hs (s < s) by applying an isometry Ws Ws +1 � � � Ws. In concrete terms, such a state is expressed as follows:
+
+|s := Ws Ws +1 � � � Ws(1s/2  URs ) |s ,
+
+(2.1)
+
+where |s is a maximally entangled state between Hs and a copy of Hs which we call HRs, and URs is a unitary operator acting on HRs. In particular, |s is a purification of Cs: trRs [|s s|] = s.
+
+2.1 Renormalization in the Heisenberg Picture
+The MERA formalism is especially well suited to studying expectation values of local observables. More generally, we will need to consider objects of the form:
+
+s| Os |s ,
+
+(2.2)
+
+�4�
+
+where Os is some operator that is supported on Hs  HRs and |s , |s are purifications of s, s  Cs, and Os will often have some additional locality structure on Hs. The reason for considering such objects will become evident once we explain its relation to quantum error correction in Section III. For the moment though, it will be important to develop the machinery for their analysis.
+For that purpose, it will be convenient to recast this object in an alternative form, which can be thought as the "Heisenberg picture" of entanglement renormalization. Let us first note the following identity:
+
+s| Os |s = s+1| ss+1(Os) |s+1 ,
+
+(2.3)
+
+where ss+1(�) = Ws+1(�)Ws+1. This map is completely-positive, trace-preserving (CPTP) and unital. Such maps are often referred to as (unital) quantum channels. In particular,
+it is norm-nonincreasing and maps the identity operator to the identity operator. We shall refer to the process of applying ss+1 to Os as the process of coarse-graining (renormalizing) the operator from scale s to s + 1. More generally, we will consider the map:
+
+ss := ss -1  � � �  ss+1,
+
+(2.4)
+
+which corresponds to the process of renormalizing an operator from scale s to s , where s > s. It is clear that ss maps operators on Hs to operators on Hs .
+Under the renormalization procedure, the evolution of the operator can be broken down into two stages. In the first stage, the support of the operator shrinks monotonously, at a constant rate: if As is a simply connected region at level s, then an operator OAs supported on As gets mapped to an operator OAs+1  ss+1(OAs), where |As+1|  c|As| for some constant c > 1. In the (binary) MERA network illustrated Fig. 1, the constant c is 2. The set of the supports over different scales, {As, As+1, � � � , As -1, As }, is said to be the past causal cone of A from s to s . When the range is obvious from the context, we shall simply say past causal cone, without specifying the range.
+In other words, as an operator is renormalized from one scale to another, its support ( ) shrinks exponentially with the scale separation. After O(log ) renormalization steps, the support size becomes O(1), and the second stage begins. What distinguishes the second stage from the first is the fact that the support of the operator remains constant under further coarse graining. The minimal nontrivial regions which can support such operators are referred to as the elementary blocks of the MERA network (see Fig. 1(b-c)).
+The aforementioned behavior of renormalized operators is, qualitatively speaking, independent of the details of the MERA network. That is, the conclusion remains intact even if the shape of the network differs at different scale or even if there is a spatial anisotropy. However, accommodating those generalizations will necessitate unnecessary complications. This is why we shall consider MERA networks that are scale-invariant, which we define below.
+
+Definition 1. A MERA network is scale invariant if there exists an isometry V and a unitary U such that Vxs = V xs, s and Uys = U ys, s.
+
+�5�
+
+ss is a quantum channel that maps operators on Hs to operators on Hs , which will typically be different spaces. However, if the MERA network is scale invariant, when ss acts on an observable in an elementary block of s, it gets mapped to an observable in an elementary block in s + 1. The unique channel  mapping operators between elementary blocks of s and s + 1 can be represented as one with identical input and output space (see Fig. 1a). This is extremely convenient as it allows us to map a "trail" of elementary blocks up the MERA network as the iteration of quantum channels (Fig.1b). If the network is scale invariant, as is expected for critical systems, the dynamics between elementary blocks is governed by stationarity and mixing properties of the channel , which will also be referred to as the transfer operator.
+Generic quantum channels (see the appendix for a discussion) that have the same input and output algebra can be written as
+
+(O) = ktr[ORk]Lk,
+k
+
+(2.5)
+
+where k are the eigenvalues of , and Lk, Rk are the bi-orthonormal left and right eigenvectors: tr[Lk, Rl] = kl. The spectrum of the channel is bounded by one (|k|  1), and for generic quantum channels, there is only one eigenvalue of magnitude 1 corresponding
+to the unique stationary state of the channel (in the Schr�odinger picture). Arranging the
+eigenvalues in decreasing order (decreasing real part), we get that 0 = 1, with L0 = 1
+and Rk = ss is a density matrix, which we will refer to as the stationary state for the elementary block. 1 will play an important role in the remainder of the paper. For scale invariant MERA,  := - log2(Re1) will be referred to as the scaling dimension.
+To conclude this section, we formally define the class of channels that we plan to work
+with:
+
+Definition 2. For a scale invariant MERA network defined by the isometries {Ws := xsVxs ys Uys}, we say that the class of channels ss+1(�) = Ws(�)Ws is RG-regular if its action on elementary blocks can be written as in Eq. (2.5) with a scaling dimension
+ := - log2(Re[1]) strictly larger than zero.
+If the subspaces Cs are related to Hs by an RG-regular channel s0, we will say that Cs are RG-regular subspaces (or codes in the error correction language).
+
+2.2 Calculus for entanglement renormalization
+The action of the renormalization map ss on general, non-local operators play an important role. We develop a calculus that facilitates this analysis below. The operators that we consider are, generally speaking, supported on three subsystems, which we denote as A, A ,and R. Here A is a subsystem of the physical Hilbert space(H0), R is the purifying space, and A is yet another subsystem that is included neither in the physical Hilbert space nor in the purifying space. Let us denote such an operator as OAA R. Simply connected regions of the physical Hilbert space H0 will be denoted without a subscript (A).
+We consider a linear map of the following form:
+
+OAA R  0| OAA R |0 ,
+
+(2.6)
+
+�6�
+
+It is important to note that the output of this map is generally an operator, because A lies outside of the physical Hilbert space and the purifying space. We see that
+
+0| OAA R |0 = s| s0(OAA R) |s = trAsR(As sRs0(OAA R)).
+
+(2.7)
+
+The first line follows from the definition of the state. The second line follows from the locality of the renormalization map; it maps an operator supported on AA R to an operator supported on AsA R. We will often write subsystems as superscripts in order to specify the MERA scale s in the subscript.
+While this identity in Eq. (2.7) may seem a bit obtuse, it has important implications. First, consider the case in which A is an empty set. The correlations between A and R for an arbitrary operator have a simple closed-form expression.
+
+Lemma 1. For any state 0  H0,
+
+tr[A0  R0 OAR] = tr[As s  Rs s0(OAR)].
+
+(2.8)
+
+Proof. First note that trA[A0 OAR] = trAs[As ss0(OAR)] by viewing R as the subsystem A in Eq.2.7. Therefore,
+
+trR[R0 trA[A0 OAR]] = trR[R0 trAs [As s s0(OAR)]]
+
+(2.9)
+
+1 The claim follows from the trivial identity R0 = Rs .
+
+There is in fact a more general identity, which plays a crucial role in our analysis.
+
+Lemma 2. If As  Cs = , s  s, tr[A0  C0 ROACR] = tr[As s  Cs sRs0(OACR)].
+
+(2.10)
+
+Proof. Consider an operator Schmidt decomposition of OACR:
+
+OACR = OA,j  OCR,j ,
+j
+
+(2.11)
+
+where OA,j is an operator supported on A and OCR,j is an operator supported on CR. Because any operator admits such a decomposition, it suffices to prove the statement for an operator of a tensor product form between A and CR. Without loss of generality, consider an operator O = O1  O2, where O1 is supported on A and O2 is supported on CR.
+
+trA[A0 O1  O2] = trA[A0 O1]O2 = trAs [As s s0(O1)]O2.
+1Correspondingly, in view of Eq.2.7, OAR should not be viewed as an operator supported on A and the purifying space. It should be instead viewed as an operator supported on A and a subsystem R which is neither in the physical Hilbert space nor in the purifying space.
+
+�7�
+
+Note that trAs[As ss0(O1)]O2 is an operator supported on CR, as the term appearing before O2 is a scalar. By using the fact that tr[C0 RO2] = tr[Cs sRs0(O2)],
+
+tr[A0  C0 R] = tr[As s  Cs sRO1  O2],
+
+(2.12)
+
+where O1 = s0(O1) and O2 = s0(O2). Since we assumed that As  Cs =  s  s, the past causal cone of A and C never overlap with each other in this range. Therefore, O1  O2 = s0(O1  O2). This completes the proof.
+
+3 Quantum Error Correction and Holography
+
+Recently, various quantum error correcting codes were proposed as models of holography [6�9]. These codes are equipped with a family of logical operators that are labeled by the coordinates in the bulk. The radial coordinate, which in our setup corresponds to the scale(s), is particularly interesting in the context of quantum error correction. The logical information becomes progressively more well-protected against erasures of boundary subsystems as it recedes further into the bulk.
+We will show that such codes naturally arise from the MERA construction. Our choice of logical operators follow the choice of bulk local operators defined in Ref. [16, 17]. In our notation, the logical operators at scale s will have the form of Ws � � � W1OW1 � � � Ws, where O  B(H0). We show that, as in the existing proposals [6�9], these operators are more well-protected as s increases. We also derive several fundamental properties of these codes.
+How are these results at all related to the discussion in Section II? The answer lies on a well-known duality relation between two different concepts, which is perhaps one of the most fundamental insights behind quantum error correction. Erasure of a certain region is correctable if and only if the region contains no logical information [25, 26]. In slightly more technically terms, an erasure is correctable if and only if the region is uncorrelated with the purifying space for all the codewords. This equivalence relation implies that it suffices to bound the correlations between the purifying space and a subsystem of interest. This is why we considered objects of the form of Eq.2.2 in Section II.
+It turns out, however, that much more can be learned about the structure of these codes by introducing a more refined notion of correctability. It is the notion of local correctability which was introduced in Ref. [22] and used in the context of holography in Ref. [29]. As in Refs. [25, 26], there is a similar duality relation between local correctability and the degree to which different subsystems are uncorrelated from each other. In words, erasure of a region A is locally correctable from a recovery operation on AB if and only if ACR is decoupled into A and CR, where C is the complementary region of AB and R is the purifying space. It should be clear that this subsumes the less general case of B being an empty set, which corresponds to Refs. [25, 26]. Specifically, this result is encapsulated in Theorem 1
+Theorem 1. [22] Consider a code C whose underlying Hilbert space can be decomposed into a tensor product of A, B, and C. Let R be the purifying space of C. Then the following
+
+�8�
+
+two objects are equal:
+
+min sup B(A  CR, ACR)
+A ABCR
+
+(3.1)
+
+inf
+RABB
+
+sup
+ABCR
+
+B(RABB (BC R ),
+
+ABCR),
+
+(3.2)
+
+where inf is over all CPTP maps from B(HB) to B(HAB) and B(�, �) is the Bures distance.
+
+A few remarks are in order. First, the Bures distance is a distance measure that can be easily related to a more familiar one, the trace norm:
+
+ 2B2(, )   -  1  2 2B(, ).
+
+(3.3)
+
+The trace norm between two quantum states has the operational interpretation that it quantifies the probability with which two states can be distinguished by a global measurement.
+Second, if ACR is close to A  CR, it implies that erasure of region A can be corrected by some map supported on AB. This is because such a factorization implies that the expression in Eq. (3.1) is small, which subsequently implies that the expression in Eq. (3.2) is small. The latter equation, in words, says that the original state is close to the state that is created by (i) erasing A and then (ii) applying some recovery map on AB. The converse direction also works. If there exists a recovery map on AB that can correct the erasure of A, then ACR should be close to the form of A  CR by Theorem 1. Because these two states must be also close to each other over their subsystems, A should be close to A, establishing the converse direction.
+To summarize, by exploiting the basic structure of the MERA network, one can tightly bound correlations between two subsystems. This bound in turn, by using Theorem 1, implies that erasure of certain regions are correctable. This establishes how well the logical information at different scales are protected.
+
+4 MERA as an approximate quantum error correcting code
+We have already formally defined the code subspace Cs  H0. What remains is to study the properties of the code subspace. What kind of erasures are correctable? If they are correctable, how well can those errors be reversed? As we shall see, the analysis follows naturally from the framework that we have constructed in Sec. 2. We begin by a simple warm-up exercise, wherein we study the correctability of simply connected regions. We then move on to studying the correctability of more general regions and deriving a fundamental tradeoff bound. The key technical result is Theorem 2, which establishes the local correctability of these codes.
+4.1 Correctability of simply connected regions
+As a warm-up exercise, we show that erasure of any simply connected region A can be approximately corrected up to a small error if s log2 |A|.
+
+�9�
+
+Lemma 3. Let Cs be an RG-regular MERA code. Then for any OAR  B(HA  HR) where A is a simply connected region, and any purified code state AAcR,
+
+|tr[(A0 R - A0  R0 )OAR]|  C OAR 2-(s-log2 |A|).
+
+(4.1)
+
+Proof. First recall the following two identities.
+
+tr[A0 ROAR] = tr[As sRs0(OAR)],
+
+(4.2)
+
+tr[A0  R0 OAR] = tr[As s  R0 s0(OAR)].
+
+(4.3)
+
+The first identity follows trivially from the definition and the second one follows from Lemma 1. Let us denote the left hand side of Eq. (4.1) as . The two identities above imply
+
+ = tr[(sAsR - As s  Rs )s0(OAR)] = tr[(sAsR - As s  Rs )srA r0A (OAR)] = tr[(sAsR - As s  Rs )srA (OArA R)]
+d2
+= tr[(sAsR - As s  Rs )( srA (OArA ,j )  OR,j )],
+j=1
+
+where OArAR = r0A(OAR) and rA is chosen such that OArAR is supported on one of the
+
+elementary blocks and the purifying space. This operator can, without loss of generality,
+
+be decomposed into the operator Schmidt decomposition
+
+d2 j=1
+
+OArA
+
+,j
+
+
+
+OR,j ,
+
+where
+
+the
+
+norm of each of the terms is bounded by OAR . Here d is the dimension of the elementary
+
+block, which is bounded by some constant.
+
+The unique fixed point of srA is the identity operator, and tr[(As sR-As sRs )1O] = 0
+for any operator O. Therefore,
+
+d2
+ = tr[As sR - As s  Rs ]
+j=1
+sk-rA tr[LkOArA ,j ]Rk  OR,j
+k=0
+ 2d2 OAR 2-(s-rA).
+One can see that Eq.4.1 holds with a choice of constant C = 2d2.
+
+(4.4)
+
+By invoking Theorem 1, we can easily show that the region A is correctable.
+
+Corollary 1. For an RG-regular MERA code Cs, and for any simply connected region A, there exists a CPTP R acting on H0 such that
+
+R(AcR) - AAcR 1  C2-(s-log2 |A|)/2,
+
+(4.5)
+
+where C is a numerical constant, and Ac denotes the complement of A.
+
+� 10 �
+
+The proof simply follows by applying Theorem 1 and then using the relation between the Bures distance and the trace distance (Eq.3.3).
+Our findings support the conclusion of Ref. [20], in which it was suggested that low energies of the critical systems should have a certain error correction property. In particular, our work provides a satisfying answer to the question: how does an error correcting code emerge in these systems? It arises from the fact that the ground state can be wellapproximated by a MERA state.
+
+4.2 Local correctability
+As was the case in Ref. [22], the notion of local correctability plays an important role in our applications. We derive this for RG-regular MERA codes.
+
+Theorem 2. Let Cs be an RG-regular MERA code. Let A be a simply connected region and let B be a region shielding A such that AB is a set of sites that are distance x or less away from A and |AB| < 2s. C is the complement of AB. Then there exists a recovery map RABB : B(HB)  B(HAB) such that
+
+RABB(B0 CR) - A0 BCR 1  c
+
+|A| /2 x
+
+(4.6)
+
+for all purified code states A0 BCR, where c is a numerical constant. Proof. The proof is similar to that of Lemma 3. First recall the following two identities.
+
+tr[A0 CROACR] = tr[As sCsRs0(OACR)],
+
+(4.7)
+
+tr[A0  C0 ROACR] = tr[As s  Cs sROACR],
+
+(4.8)
+
+provided that the past causal cone of A and C do not overlap with each other all the way up to a scale s. The first identity follows from the definition and the second identity follows from Lemma 2. Let us denote the left hand side of Eq. (4.6) as . The two identities above imply that
+
+ = tr[(rArCrR - Ar r  Cr rR)r0(OACR)] = tr[(rArCrR - Ar r  Cr rR)rrA r0A (OACR)] = tr[(rArCrR - Ar r  Cr rR)rrA (OA C R)]
+
+(4.9) (4.10) (4.11)
+
+where OA C R = r0A is an operator supported on A = ArA, C = CrA, and R. Here rA is chosen such that ArA is contained in an elementary block and r is chosen to be the scale after which the past causal cones of A and CR overlap with each other. This happens
+when x is shrunk to a size of O(1). Thus, it can be chosen to be r = log2 x + O(1), where O(1) is a non-universal constant of order unity.
+Now consider the following operator Schmidt decomposition:
+
+d2
+OA C R = OA ,j  OC R,j .
+j=1
+

+
+� 11 �
+
+Figure 2. a) The setup described in Section 5.2 where observables O1 and O2 act on H0. Observable O2 is a logical operator of Cs, in that it maps elements of Cs to Cs. The Lieb-Robinson type bound of Eq. (5.4) tells us how correlated the time evolution of O1 is with respect to O2. b) The minimal correctable region of Cs is also the minimal support of a logical operator, which corresponds to the distance of the error correcting code. We see that it takes a cantor-set type form, as already suggested in Ref. [29].
+
+The action of rrA on this operator is of the following form:
+
+d2
+
+rrA =
+
+rrA (OA ,j )  rrA (OC R,j ),
+
+j=1
+
+(4.13)
+
+due to the fact that the past causal cone of A and C do not overlap up to this point.
+
+The unique fixed point of rrA is the identity operator, and tr[(Ar rCrR - Ar r  Cr rR)1 
+O] = 0 for any operator O. The norm of the remaining (d2 - 1) terms are bounded
+
+by OACR 2-(r-rA). By the aforementioned choice, i.e., r = log x + O(1) and rA =
+
+log |A|

+
+O(1),

+
+yielding
+
+a
+
+bound
+
+on
+
+.
+
+By
+
+invoking Theorem 1, the theorem is proved.
+
+An important consequence of local correctability is that two distant correctable regions are jointly correctable. In the context of quantum error correction this property is called the union lemma. Indeed, suppose that regions A1 and A2 are both locally correctable on A1B1 and A2B2 up to error each. Then A1A2 is locally correctable on A1A2B1B2 up to error 2 if A1B1  A2B2 =  (see Lemma 11 in Ref. [22]).
+
+5 Applications
+There are many implications of Theorem 2. As was the case in Ref. [22] this forms the basis behind deriving fundamental tradeoff bounds for MERA codes. Furthermore, it also
+
+� 12 �
+
+implies that two observables that are largely separated in scale compared to 1/ behave as if they are space-like separated operators. In particular, they obey a Lieb-Robinson type locality bound.
+
+5.1 Tradeoff bounds
+
+In this section we will derive bounds on the minimal support of a bulk logical operator
+
+on the boundary. In terms of quantum error correcting codes, this quantity corresponds
+
+to the distance of the code. For simplicity, we consider the limit:   . We do not
+
+expect this limit to be physical, because to our knowledge, no such theory is known at this
+
+point. However, it is the limit in which all of our statements become exact. In particular, we
+
+partially recover the so called `uberholography,' which was suggested recently by Pastawski
+
+and Preskill [29]. In this limit, all correlations outside the bulk lightcone vanish completely.
+
+Consider an RG-regular MERA code Cs of n physical qubits. At this point, we do not restrict |Cs| to being constant. From Theorem 2, we know that any state   Cs can be recovered from Ac by applying a channel on AB, provided that x  |A|, where AB is a set of sites that are distance x or less away from A. By choosing x = |A| + O(1), we see that a subsystem A of size less than 2s/z can be locally corrected from such B, where
+
+z = |AB|/|A| = 3.
+
+Therefore, the logical information of CS can be recovered from these N - 2s/z qubits. However, we can do better than this. By the so called union lemma[22, 30, 31], two
+
+disconnected correctable regions A1 and A2 are jointly correctable if their local recovery
+
+maps have non-overlapping supports. This implies that n/2s + O(1) many regions of size
+
+2s/z
+
+are
+
+jointly
+
+correctable,
+
+implying
+
+that
+
+in
+
+fact
+

+1 z
+
+)
+
++
+
+O(1)
+
+many
+
+qubits
+
+are
+
+required to recover a code state.
+
+It turns out that we can do even better. Let RAB be the map recovering erasure of
+
+region A. RAB takes as input the state B and outputs AB: RAB(B) = AB. B is
+
+compose of a left and a right component: B = BLBR such that AB = BLABR. But if
+
+BL can be broken up into three regions BL = B1LA1B1R, where B1L,R are the left and right parts of BL, then we get: RABRA1B1(B1) = AB (see Fig. 2b for an illustration). We can
+now iterate until we are left with 2g regions of constant size. We now estimate what value
+
+g
+
+can
+
+take.
+
+The

+
+We want to know what fraction of AB is left after the g steps, or 2g = |AB|. This yields
+
+log(2)
+
+=
+
+.
+
+log

+2z z-1
+
+(5.1)
+
+In terms of error correcting codes, we get that |AB| = O(n/k), because k = 2log2(n)-s and |AB| = 2s by construction, so that that distance (the smallest support of a logical operator) satisfies d  C(n/k), for some constant C, and  = log(2)/ log(2z/(z - 1))  0.63 for z = 3. Note that our bound differs from Ref.[29]; there   0.78, which yields a weaker bound. This is because our notion of local correctability is stronger than that of [29]; erasure of a simply connected region can be corrected if x > |A| in our setup, but the setup of [29] requires x > c|A|, where c  2.414. Indeed, the existence of the operators

+
+5.2 Emergent lightcone
+In this section, we establish a bound on how fast correlations between bulk local observables build up in time. We will bound a commutator of the following form:
+
+0| [O1(t), O2] |0 ,
+
+(5.2)
+
+where O1(t) is a local operator acting on H0, O2 is a logical operator of Cs, and the time evolution is generated by a local Hamiltonian. We derive an upper bound, which remains small provided that |t| is small compared to 2s up to some multiplicative constants. It
+
+is interesting to compare this bound to the well-known Lieb-Robinson bound [13], which
+
+states that
+
+L - v|t| [O1(t), O2]  c O1 O2 exp(-  ),
+
+(5.3)
+
+where L is the distance between the nontrivial support of O1 and O2, v is the Lieb-Robinson velocity, and  is a constant that depends on the underlying interaction graph. The main
+
+difference is that Eq. (5.3) holds in the entire Hilbert space, while Eq. (5.2) only holds in
+
+a low energy subspace, i.e., the code subspace Cs. Obviously, a more refined bound would involve the size and the location of the supports
+
+of O1 and O2, but that is beyond the scope of this paper. Here we focus on a simpler setting, in which O1 is assumed to be a local operator and O2 to be an arbitrary logical operator in the code subspace.
+
+Because the dynamics in the physical Hilbert space is assumed to be generated by a
+
+local Hamiltonian, observables under this time evolution obey Eq. (5.3) with an appropriate
+
+choice of v, c, and . From this fact, we can derive the following bound.
+
+Theorem 3. For an RG-regular MERA code Cs, a local physical operator O1 and a logical operator O2 of Cs, we get
+
+| 0| [O1(t), O2] |0 |  c (v|t| + s)2-s,
+
+(5.4)
+
+where O1(t) = eiHtO1e-iHt, c is a constant,  is the scaling dimension, v is the LiebRobinson velocity of H, and  is a numerical constant that depends on the interaction graph of H.
+
+Proof. We consider the left hand side of Eq. (5.4)
+
+0| [O1(t), O2] |0 = 0| O1(t) 0 - 0 O1(t) |0 ,
+
+where |0 = O2 |0 and |0 = O2 |0 are states in Cs. From Eq. (5.3) it follows that there exists an operator O1l (t), supported on a set of sites with distance l or less away from
+the support of O1, such that [32]
+
+O1(t) - O1l (t)
+
+ c O1
+
+l - v|t|
+
+exp(

+
+Therefore, both | 0| O1(t) - O1l (t) |0 | and | 0| O1(t) - O1l (t) |0 | are bounded
+
+by c O1
+
+exp(
+

+

+
+Further,

+
+and
+
+0| O1l (t) |0
+
+=
+
+s| s0(O1l (t)) |s . Now, we can decompose the action of s0 into r0 and sr so that
+
+r0(O1l (t)) is contained in an elementary block. Denoting this operator as O ,

+
+The first term vanishes because both s|s and s|s are equal to 0| O2 |0 . The

+
+It should be noted that the bound on 0| [O1(t), O2] |0 does not necessarily imply a bound on 0| [O1, O2(t)] |0 . This is because the action of the Hamiltonian may map a state in Cs to a state outside of this subspace. However, this was to be expected, since we did not incorporate any relation between the code subspace and the Hamiltonian. One solution is to consider the action of the commutator on states which are eigenstates of H. One physically reasonable choice would be the ground state of H. If the ground state of H, | , can be represented by a MERA such that the code subspace Cs defined by this MERA is RG-regular, then
+
+| [O1(t), O2] |  c (v|t| + s)2-s
+
+(5.9)
+
+because | by definition is in Cs. Furthermore, by construction | [O1(t), O2] | = | [O1, O2(t)] | .
+At this point, we have only considered a Lieb-Robinson bound between an observable in the bulk, and another observable on the boundary inside the future light cone of the first. A more complete geometrical description of the Lieb-Robinson bounds for two observables anywhere in the bulk would be desirable. This is left for future work.
+
+6 Conclusion
+In this paper, we have outlined a mechanism by which certain toy models of holography can be derived from generic properties of states at criticality. It is straightforward to see that the main findings of this paper, e.g., Theorem 2 and its implications follow in higher dimensions as well. This is because the derivation was based on a very general property of entanglement renormalization. This provides a partial explanation for the origin of these codes, assuming that the low energy states of conformal field theory can be well-described
+
+� 15 �
+
+by MERA. It also explains how a causal dynamics can arise in these systems, despite the fact that the effective Hamiltonian in the bulk is not manifestly local.
+However, many important issues remain. For one thing, it will be interesting to understand the entanglement wedge reconstruction[4] in our framework. The approximate nature of our bound makes this analysis challenging. It is also important to note that our bound is not strong enough to ensure locality at sub-AdS scale. This was to be expected because our bound does not incorporate the properties that are expected to be satisfied by conformal field theories with a semi-classical gravitational dual: that there is a gap in the scaling dimension of the operators.[33] For both of these issues, a framework that can organize operators in terms of their scaling dimensions is desirable. One possibility would be the operator algebra quantum error correction, as was suggested in Ref. [4], or an approximate version thereof. An analogous analysis would require a derivation of Theorem 1 for general operator algebra, which may be of an independent interest.
+In order to gain a more refined insight, it will be important to study families of circuits that are equipped with more refined set of structures. There are many interesting questions in this direction. Would a random tensor network of Ref.[8] emerge from the random MERA network in Ref.[15]? Can we import the constraints posed on the operators of the CFT into the language of quantum error correction? Would the tradeoff bounds on quantum error correction lead to nontrivial constraints on gravity? These are left for future work.

+
+Quantum channels are one of the most important tools in quantum information theory.
+
+They describe in the most general manner possible the evolution of a quantum system;
+
+meaning that they take as input a quantum state, and the output another quantum state.
+
+Quantum channels are completely positive and trace preserving operations. They have
+
+several useful representations, perhaps the most commonly used one is the Kraus form:
+T (�) = k Ek(�)Ek for some set of "Kraus operators" {Ek} satisfying k EkEk = 1.
+They can be represented as linear operators on Hilbert space as: T^ : Ha2  Hb2 for any general quantum channel T : B(Ha)  B(Hb), which in terms of Kraus operators reads: T^ = k Ek  E�k, where E� is the complex conjugate of E.
+In general, T^ is not a normal operator, meaning that it typically has Jordan blocks. In the special case when T^ is non-defective (i.e. has no non-trivial Jordan blocks), then it
+
+has a spectral decomposition
+
+T^ = j |Lk Rk| .
+
+(7.1)
+
+j
+
+If the input and output dimensions of the channel are the same then Rk|Lj = jk is a bi-orthonormal basis. The spectrum is bounded by one (j  1), and the channel always has at least one eigenvalue equal to one. If there is no other eigenvalue of magnitude one, then channel is called mixing. In terms of CPTP maps, Eq. (2.5) reads
+
+T (A) = ktr[ARk]Lk.

+............................................................................... Two years ago, we found the supersymmetric counterpart of the spectral triple which specified noncommutative geometry. Based on the triple, we derived gauge vector supermultiplets, Higgs supermultiplets of the minimum supersymmetric standard model and its action. However, unlike the famous theories of Connes and his co-workers, the action does not couple to gravity. In this paper, we obtain the supersymmetric Dirac operator DM (SG) on the Riemann-Cartan curved space replacing derivatives which appear in that of the triple with the covariant derivatives of general coordinate transformation. We apply the supersymmetric version of the spectral action principle and investigate the heat kernel expansion on the square of the Dirac operator. As a result, we obtain a new supergravity action which does not include the Ricci curvature tensor.

+1. Introduction
+The standard model of high energy physics has some defects. It can not include gravity theory, can not solve hierarchy problem, has many free parameters including coupling constants of gauge groups in the theory which must be decided by experiments. More essentially, it cannot explain why the gauge group is SU (3) � SU (2) � U (1). Connes and his co-workers derived the standard model coupled to gravity on the basis of noncommutative geometry(NCG)[1�4]. Their result is that if the space-time is a product of a continuous Riemannian manifold M and a finite space F of KO-dimension 6, gauge theories of the standard model are uniquely derived[5, 6]. In the model, three coupling constants of SU (3), SU (2), U (1) are unified by the same relation as that of SU (5) grand unified theory(GUT). The Weinberg angle is also fixed at that of the GUT.
+On the other hand, the most powerful candidate of new physics to solve the hierarchy problem is supersymmetric theory[7]. One loop correction to squared Higgs mass m2H from a Dirac spinor contains square of ultraviolet cut off, 2UV . If UV is order of Plank scale, this correction is 30 orders of magnitude larger than the value of m2H . Introducing supersymmetry brings about one more loop correction from a boson which is the superpartner of the fermion. It has the same absolute value as that of the fermion loop but with opposite sign, so that the hierarchy problem is systematically removed.
+Unfortunately, it is difficult, perhaps impossible to extend the NCG itself to new one which produce supersymetric particle models. The framework of NCG is specified by so-called the spectral triple (H0, A0, D0), where H0 is a Hilbert space which consists of spinorial wave

+functions of matter fields in the standard model, A0 and D0 are algebra and Dirac operator which act on H0. Let us consider to extend the spectral triple to supersymmetric counterpart, (H, A, D), where H is the space which consists of not only spinorial wave functions but also of bosonic wave functions of superpartners of the matter fields and elements of A and D are operators which act on H. Supersymmetric theories are mostly formulated on the Minkowskian space-time, while the standard model constructed from the NCG is formulated on the space-time with Euclidean signature. So the space H will not be a Hilbert space. In addition, since the extended Dirac operator D will include d'Alembertian which appears in the Klein-Gordon equation, [D, a] will not be bounded for an arbitrary element a  A, so that D-1 can not play the role of infinitesimal length element ds of a geometry. These facts do not obey axioms of NCG.
+Nevertheless, if not only supersymmetry but also NCG have important meaning in particle physics, these successful theories must coexist. Recently, we arrived at the minimum supersymmetric standard model(MSSM) based on NCG[8�10]. We have found the supersymmetric counterpart of the process to construct the standard model action from the NCG one by one. At first, we obtained "the triple" (H, A, D) extended from the spectral triple and verified the supersymmetry of it. The space H is the product of the functional space HM on the Minkowskian space-time manifold and the finite space HF which is the space of labels denoting the matter particles. According to the constitution of H, the algebra A/the Dirac operator D consists of AM /DM which acts on the manifold and AF /DF which acts on the finite space, respectively. The above construction was performed in the Minkowskian signature in order to incorporate supersymmetry. As mentioned earlier, the spectral triple corresponds to the NCG, but the triple does not define a new NCG. However, projecting HM to the fermionic part and changing the signature from the Minkowskian one to the Euclidean one by the Wick rotation, we found that it reduced to the theory constructed on the original spectral triple. We derived internal fluctuation of the Dirac operator, D, which induced vector supermultiplets of gauge degrees of freedom and Higgs supermultiplets.
+Secondarily, we obtained the action of the NCG model in terms of the supersymmetric version of spectral action principle[11] which was expressed by
+
+(k, iDk) + T rL2f (P ),
+
+(1)
+
+k
+
+where k denoted the wave functions which described the chiral or antichiral supermultiplet, P = (iD~)2 and f (x) was an auxiliary smooth function on a 4D compact Riemannian manifold
+without boundary[11]. We calculated the Seeley-Dewitt coefficients due to the second term
+of (1), which gave the action of the Non-Abelian gauge fields and Higgs fields.
+However, since the triple is constructed on the Minkowskian space-time,i.e. flat space-
+time, it does not give the action of gravity. In this paper, We replace the derivative i� which appears in DM with the covariant derivative i~ � which includes spin connection
+with contorsions generated by gravitino[12, 13]. Then we obtain the supersymmetric version of Dirac operator, DMSG on the curved space-time. We investigate the square of the Dirac operator P = (iDMSG)2 and the Seeley-Dewitt coefficients due to P in order to obtain the action of supergravity.

+We note again that the above formalism was given in the framework of Minkowskian signature in order to incorporate supersymmetry. When we restrict the functional space HM to its fermionic part H0 and transfer to the Euclidean signature, we recover the original spectral triple which gives the framework of NCG.
+
+3. Dirac operator on the curved space-time
+
+In order to obtain the supersymmetric Dirac operator on a curved space-time, we must
+
+consider torsion tensor. The torsion consists of gravitino � which is a majorana spinor
+
+vector.
+
+T�
+

+

+
+1 2
+
+
+

+

+
+(25)
+
+It is the antisymmetric part of affine connection expressed by
+
+T
+
+ �
+
+=
+
+~ �
+
+- ~�.
+
+(26)
+
+The affine connection with the torsion is a sum of Christoffel symbol � and contorsion
+
+Y
+
+ �
+
+:
+
+~ �
+
+=
+
+�
+
++
+
+Y
+
+ �
+
+.
+
+(27)
+
+The relation between the contorsion and the torsion is given by
+
+Y�
+
+=
+
+1 2
+
+(T�
+
++ T�
+
++ T�).
+
+(28)
+
+5/14
+
+The spin connection is separated to the contorsion and the part without contorsion[14]:
+
+~ ab�
+
+=
+
+ab�
+
++
+
+Y
+
+ab �
+
+,
+
+(29)
+
+Y
+
+ab �
+
+=
+
+ea eb Y
+
+�,
+
+(30)
+
+where ea� is vielbein which connects general coordinates denoted by subscript of the Greek letter to local inertial coordinates denoted by that of Roman letter. The covariant derivative
+
+for a spinor in the curved space is described by
+
+~ � = � + ~�,
+
+(31)
+
+where ~� is a sum of products of the spin connection and commutator of  matrices ab =
+
+1 2
+
+[a,
+
+b]
+
+which
+
+is
+
+expressed
+
+by

+~�
+
+=
+
+1 4
+
+~ ab� ab
+
+=
+
+1 4
+
+(ab�
+
++ Y ab�)ab.
+
+(32)
+
+On the curved space, for the (2,2)-th entry of the matrix (24), we replace the partial
+
+derivative � with the covariant derivative and for the (1,3)-th and (3,1)-th entries which act on bosonic wave functions, we adopt the operator which appears in the equation given
+
+by the action of the Klein-Gordon field in the curved space[15]. So, the Dirac operator on
+
+the curved space is expressed by
+
+
+
+
+
+0
+
+DM(SG) = - i 
+
+0
+
+0 i�~ �
+
+102
+

+
+(33)
+
+g� (� - ~� ) + R~ � 12
+
+0
+
+0
+
+where R~ is curvature with the torsion and  is an unknown constant.
+
+4. Supergravity action
+
+In our noncommutative geometric approach to supersymmetry, the action for supergravity will be obtained by the coefficients of heat kernel expansion of the operator P = (DM(SG))2[16].
+The prescription to obtain these coefficients on the curved space with the torsion for the spinorial part of DM(SG), i.e. (2,2)-th entry of the matrix (33) and its result are given by [13].
+We want to obtain the coefficients for DM(SG) including (1,3)-th and (3,1)-th entries. At
+first, we expand the operator P into the following form:
+
+P = -(g� ~ �~  + A~ �~ � + B~).
+
+(34)
+
+We define a vector S� as follows:
+
+S� = Q� + A~ �,
+
+(35)
+
+where Q� is torsion trace T �. In our theory, trace over the vector bundle are replaced with
+
+supertrace. When a matrix M in the basis (23) is given by
+
+
+
+
+
+M = MM1211
+
+M12 M22
+
+MM1233 ,
+
+(36)
+
+M31 M32 M33
+
+6/14
+
+the supertrace is expressed by
+
+StrM = trVM11 + trVM33 - trVM22.
+
+(37)
+
+Since the bosonic degrees of freedom equals that of fermionic states, the supertrace of I vanishes. Then the coefficients an(P ) are given by
+
+a0(P )
+

+
+1 162

+After some algebra in terms of the Riemann curvature tensor R~� with torsion in appendix A, the square of (33) is given by

+In general, the coefficients an(P ) vanish for odd values of n[16]. In addition, the mass dimension of each term of the integrand in an(P ) is n so that in order to conserve the renormalizabilty, an(n > 4) should not appear in the action. Then, we have obtained the all renormalizable terms of our supergravity action.
+
+5. Conclusions and discussions
+In this paper, we have derived in Eq.(33) the supersymmtric Dirac operator DM(SG) on the Riemann-Cartan curved space without gauge interaction by replacing the derivative with
+respect to the space-time coordinates in Eq.(24) with the covariant derivative of the general
+coordinate transformation. This operator includes the spin connection, the affine connection
+and the curvature with torsion tensors which consist of gravitinos. According to the prescription of the spectral action principle, we have obtained the square of DM(SG) and have taken it to pieces as Eq.(34). We have replaced the trace in the ordinary spectral action with the
+
+9/14
+
+supertrace and calculated the Seeley-Dewitt coefficients of the heat kernel expansion. The coefficient a0(P ) in Eq.(38) cancels out. It means that the cosmological constant vanishes in the supersymmetric theory. So the supergravity action of our theory is given by
+
+S = a2(P ) + a4(P ),
+
+(62)
+
+where  and  are some constants, the coefficients a2(P ) and a4(P ) are given in Eq.(50) and (54). It is a modified Einstein-Hilbert action.
+
+In the action (62), there is no term with the Ricci curvature tensor. Therefore, when we
+
+construct based on NCG a gravity theory which possesses physically important property
+
+such as conformal invariance, renormalizability, if we want the theory able to be extended
+
+supersymmetrically, we should build its action not to include Ricci curvature tensor. For
+
+example, one of the simplest theory which
+
+malizabilty consists of the term and surface terms

+
+A. Affine connection, spin connection, vielbein, curvature tensors with torsion
+In this appendix, we show some equations about affine connection, spin connection, vielbein, curvature tensors with torsion. The covariant derivatives of vielbein vanish.
+
+~ �ea = �ea - ~ab�eb - ~�ea = 0, ~ �ea = �ea - ~ab�eb + ~�ea = 0.
+
+(A.1) (A.2)
+
+From (A.1), we obtain the relation between the affine connection and the spin connection expressed by
+
+~� = ea(�ea - ~ab�eb ).
+
+(A.3)
+
+11/14
+
+We also provide some else equations about the affine connection, the spin connection and the vielbein as follows:
+
+�~ = (�ea )( ea - ~ab eb) + ea (� ea) - (�~ab )eb - ~ab (�eb) ,  ~� = ( ea )(�ea - ~ab�eb) + ea ( �ea) - ( ~ab�)eb - ~ab�( eb) , ~�~ = ea (�ea - ~ab�eb)ec ( ec - ~cd ed),
+= ea (�ea)ec ( ec) - ~cd ed - ea ~ab�bc ( ec) - ~cd ed , ~ ~� = ea ( ea)ec (�ec) - ~cd�ed - ea~ab bc (�ec) - ~cd�ed .
+
+(A.4) (A.5)
+(A.6) (A.7)
+
+Here, since
+
+ec ( ec) = ( ec ec) - ( ec )ec = ( ) - ( ec )ec = -( ec )ec,
+
+(A.8)
+
+we obtain one more equation as follows:
+
+ea (�ea)ec ( ec) - ~cd ed - ea ( ea)ec (�ec) - ~cd�ed = -(�ea ) ( ea) - ~ad ed + ( ea) (�ea) - ~ad�ed .
+
+(A.9)
+
+Using Eq.(A.3)-Eq.(A.9), we obtain the expression of the Riemann curvature tensor R~� with torsion as follows:
+
+R~� = �~ -  ~� + ~�~ - ~ ~� =(�ea)( ea) - ( ea )(�ea) - (�ea)~ab eb + ( ea)~ab�eb - ea (�~ab ) - ( ~ab�) eb - ea ~ab (�eb) - ~ab�( eb) + ea(�ea)(ec ( ec) - ~cd ed) - ea~ab�bc ( ec) - ~cd ed - ea( ea)ec (�ec) - ~cd�ed + ea ~ab bc (�ec) - ~cd�ed = - eaeb (�~ab ) - ( ~ab�) - (~ac�~cb - ~ac ~cb�) .
+
+(A.10)
+
+We also note some equations on traces of gamma matrices and their product with curvature and torsion tensors.

+Optimal selection of the k-th best candidate
+Yi-Shen Lin, Shoou-Ren Hsiau, and Yi-Ching Yao
+December 4, 2017
+Abstract
+In the subject of optimal stopping, the classical secretary problem is concerned with optimally selecting the best of n candidates when their relative ranks are observed sequentially. This problem has been extended to optimally selecting the k-th best candidate for k  2. While the optimal stopping rule for k = 1, 2 (and all n  2) is known to be of threshold type (involving one threshold), we solve the case k = 3 (and all n  3) by deriving an explicit optimal stopping rule that involves two thresholds. We also prove several inequalities for p(k, n), the maximum probability of selecting the k-th best of n candidates. It is shown that (i) p(1, n) = p(n, n) > p(k, n) for 1 < k < n, (ii) p(k, n)  p(k, n + 1), (iii) p(k, n)  p(k + 1, n + 1), and (iv) p(k, ) := limn p(k, n) is decreasing in k.

+1 Introduction
+The classical secretary problem (also known as the best choice problem) has been extensively studied in the literature on optimal stopping, which is usually described as follows.

+There are n (fixed) candidates to be interviewed sequentially in random order for one sec-
+
+retarial position. It is assumed that these candidates can be ranked linearly without ties
+
+by a manager (rank 1 being the best). Upon interviewing a candidate, the manager is only
+
+able to observe the candidate's (relative) rank among those that have been interviewed so
+
+far. The manager then must decide whether to accept the present candidate (and stop in-
+
+terviewing) or to reject the candidate (and continue interviewing). No recall is allowed. The
+
+object is to maximize the probability of selecting the best candidate. More precisely, let Rj,
+
+j = 1, 2, . . . , n, be the absolute rank of the j-th candidate such that (R1, . . . , Rn) = n with
+
+probability 1/n! for every permutation n of (1, 2, . . . , n). Define Xj = |{1  i  j : Ri

+Rj}|, the relative rank of the j-th candidate among the first j candidates. It is desired to
+
+find a stopping rule 1,n  Mn such that P (R1,n = 1) = supMn P (R = 1) where Mn denotes the set of all stopping rules adapted to the filtration {Fj}, Fj being the -algebra
+
+generated by X1, X2, . . . , Xj. It is well known (cf. Lindley [6]) that the optimal stopping
+
+rule 1,n is of threshold type given by 1,n = min{rn  j  n : Xj = 1} where min  := n
+
+and the threshold rn := min{j  1 :
+
+n i=j+1
+
+1 i-1
+
+
+
+1}.

+,
+
+which

+
+A great many interesting variants of the secretary problem have been formulated and
+
+solved in the literature (cf. the review papers by Ferguson [2] and Freeman [4] and Samuels
+
+[9]), most of which are concerned with optimally selecting the best candidate or one of the k
+
+best candidates. In contrast, only a few papers (cf. Rose [7], Szajowski [11] and Vanderbei
+
+[12]) considered and solved the problem of optimally selecting the second best candidate.
+
+(According to Vanderbei [12], in 1980, E.B. Dynkin proposed this problem to him with the
+
+motivating story that "We are trying to hire a postdoc and we are confident that the best
+
+candidate will receive and accept an offer from Harvard." Thus Vanderbei [12] refers to the
+
+problem as the postdoc variant of the secretary problem.) These authors showed that the
+
+optimal stopping rule 2,n is also of threshold type given by 2,n = min{rn  j  n : Xj = 2}

+
+Note that p(2, ) = limn p(2, n) = 1/4 < 1/e = p(1, ).
+
+In this paper, we consider the problem of optimally selecting the k-th best candidate for
+
+2
+
+general k. Let p(k, n) := supMn P (R = k), the maximum probability of selecting the k-th best of n candidates. Szajowski [11] derived the asymptotic solutions as n   for
+
+k = 3, 4, 5. Rose [8] dealt with the case k = (n + 1)/2 for odd n, which was called the
+
+median problem and suggested by M. DeGroot with the motivation of selecting a candidate
+
+representative of the entire sequence. (The candidate of rank k = (n + 1)/2 is, in some sense,
+
+representative of all candidates.) In the next section, we solve the case k = 3 for all finite
+
+n  3 by showing (cf. Theorem 2.1) that the stopping rule 3,n = min{an  j  n : Xj = 2}  min{bn  j  n : Xj = 3} attains the maximum probability P (R3,n = 3) = p(3, n) for n  3, where x  y := min{x, y} and the two thresholds an < bn are given in (2.8) and (2.5), respectively. In Section 3, we prove (cf. Theorems 3.1 and 3.2) that (i) p(1, n) =
+
+p(n, n) > p(k, n) for 1 < k < n, (ii) p(k, n)  p(k, n + 1), (iii) p(k, n)  p(k + 1, n + 1), and
+
+(iv) p(k, ) := limn p(k, n) is decreasing in k. It is also noted (cf. Remark 3.1) that the
+
+inequality
+
+p(k, n)
+
+
+
+p(k

++
+

+
+close
+
+to
+
+(but
+
+less
+
+than)
+
+
+
+n 2
+
+.
+
+Furthermore, we extend the result p(1, n) = p(n, n) > p(k, n) for 1 < k < n to the setting
+
+where the goal is to select a candidate whose absolute rank belongs to a prescribed subset 
+
+of {1, . . . , n} with || = c (1  c < n) (cf. Suchwalko and Szajowski [10]). It is shown (cf.
+
+Theorem 3.3) that the probability of optimally selecting a candidate whose absolute rank
+
+belongs to  is maximized when  = {1, . . . , c} or  = {n - c + 1, . . . , n}. The proofs of
+
+several technical lemmas are relegated to Section 4. Section 5 contains a computer program
+
+in Mathematica for verification of Theorem 2.1 for 3  n  31. It should be remarked
+
+that the optimal stopping rule is not necessarily unique. For example, a slight modification
+
+2,n of the optimal stopping rule 2,n also attains the maximum probability p(2, n) where 2,n  rn - 1 is given by 2,n = rn - 1 if Xrn -1 = 1 and 2,n = 2,n otherwise. The uniqueness issue of the optimal stopping rule is not addressed in this paper.
+
+2 Maximizing the probability of selecting the k-th best candidate with k = 3
+We adopt the setup and notations in Ferguson [3, Chapter 2]. As defined in Section 1, Xj is the relative rank of the j-th candidate among the first j candidates and Rj is the absolute rank. Given X1 = x1, X2 = x2, . . . , Xj = xj, 1  j  n, let yj(x1, x2, . . . , xj) be the return for stopping at stage j (i.e. accepting the j-th candidate) and Vj(x1, x2, . . . , xj) the maximum return by optimally stopping from stage j onwards. In other words, yj(x1, x2, . . . , xj) is the
+3
+
+conditional probability of Rj = k (given Xi = xi, 1  i  j), which defines the reward function for the stopping problem of optimally selecting the k-th best candidate. Given Xi = xi, 1  i  j, Vj(x1, x2, . . . , xj) is the (maximum) expected reward by optimally stopping from stage j onwards. Then Vn(x1, x2, . . . , xn) = yn(x1, x2, . . . , xn), and
+
+Vj (x1, . . . , xj) = max yj(x1, . . . , xj), E Vj+1 (x1, . . . , xj, Xj+1) X1 = x1, . . . , Xj = xj , (2.1)
+for j = n - 1, n - 2, . . . , 1. Given Xi = xi, i = 1, . . . , j, it is optimal to stop at stage j if Vj (x1, x2, . . . , xj) = yj(x1, x2, . . . , xj) and to continue otherwise. The (optimal) value of the stopping problem is V1(1), i.e. V1(1) = supMn P (R = k). This formalizes the method of backward induction. See also Chow, Robbins and Siegmund [1].
+It is well known that X1, X2, . . . , Xn are independent and Xj has a uniform distribution over {1, 2, . . . , j}. Given Xi = xi, i = 1, . . . , j, the conditional probability of Rj = k is the same as the probability that a random sample of size j contains the k-th best candidate whose (relative) rank in the sample is xj; thus
+
+k-1 n-k
+
+P (Rj = k|X1 = x1, X2 = x2, . . . , Xj = xj) =
+
+, xj -1 j-xj n
+
+j
+
+(2.2)
+
+where we adopt the usual convention that
+
+m 
+
+= 0 for m < .
+
+From the independence of X1, X2, . . . , Xn, the conditional expectation on the right hand
+
+side of (2.1) reduces to E(Vj+1(x1, x2, . . . , xj, Xj+1)). Note also that yj(x1, . . . , xj) depends
+
+only on xj (cf. (2.2)), and so does Vj(x1, . . . , xj). Hence, we have
+
+Vn(xn) = yn(xn)
+
+and
+
+Vj(xj) = max
+
+yj (xj ),
+
+j
+
+1 +
+
+1
+
+j+1
+
+Vj+1(i)
+

+
+Thus, it is optimal to stop at the first j with

+
+polynomial equation fn(x) = 0 has two real roots x0 < y0 with x0  y0 (so that an = x0).
+
+For 3  n  31, this can be verified by numerical computations. For n  32, we have

+
+The next theorem is our main result.
+
+Theorem 2.1. For n  3, we have an < bn. Furthermore, the stopping rule
+
+3,n = min{an  j  n : Xj = 2}  min{bn  j  n : Xj = 3}
+
+maximizes the probability of selecting the 3rd best candidate.
+
+Figure 1 illustrates the optimality of 3,n for the case n = 13 with a13 = 7 and b13 = 9. With the help of a computer program in Mathematica, we have verified Theorem 2.1 for 3  n  31 by numerically evaluating Vj(xj), j = n, n - 1, . . . , 1. (For completeness, the
+
+5
+
+Figure 1: The optimality of 3,13. computer program is provided in Section 5.) While it seems intuitively reasonable for the optimal stopping rule 3,n to involve two thresholds for general n, the exact expressions for the thresholds an and bn in (2.8) and (2.5) were found by some guesswork and tedious analysis. To prove Theorem 2.1 for n  32, we need the following lemmas whose proofs are relegated to Section 4. Lemma 2.1. Let y0 be the larger root of the second-order polynomial equation fn(x) = 0. Then for n  32, we have (i) an < bn; (ii) bn < y0; (iii) an > (n + 4)/3. Lemma 2.2. Given X1 = x1, X2 = x2, . . . , Xj = xj, let hj(xj) = hj(x1, x2, . . . , xj) be the conditional probability of selecting the 3rd best candidate when 3,n is used for stages j, j + 1, . . . , n.

+
+3 Some results on p(k, n) and p(k, )
+
+In this section, we present several inequalities for p(k, n) and p(k, ) := limn p(k, n). Theorem 3.1. For n  3 and 1 < k < n, we have p(1, n) = p(n, n) > p(k, n).
+
+Proof. By symmetry, p(1, n) = p(n, n). (More generally, p(k, n) = p(n - k + 1, n).) For the problem of selecting the k-th best candidate (1 < k < n), a (non-randomized) optimal stopping rule  is determined by a sequence of subsets {Sj} such that Sj  {1, 2, . . . , j} (j = 1, . . . , n) and  = min{j : Xj  Sj}. Since stopping at n is enforced (if  > n - 1), we may assume that Sn = {1, 2, . . . , n}. Thus,
+
+P (R = k) = p(k, n).
+
+(3.1)
+
+Define, for j = 1, . . . , n - 1,
+
+ Sj = ,
+{1},
+
+if Sj = ; if Sj = ;
+
+and Sn = {1, 2, . . . , n}. Let   = min{j : Xj  Sj }, which, as a stopping rule, may be applied to selecting the best candidate. Thus
+
+P (R = 1)  sup P (R = 1) = p(1, n). Mn
+
+Note that for j = 1, . . . , n,
+
+P (Rj

+
+By (2.2), given X1 = x1, . . . , Xj = xj, the conditional distribution of Rj depends only on xj, implying that X1, . . . , Xj-1 and (Xj, Rj) are independent. So if Sj = ,

+
+where the inequality follows from (3.3) and |Si|  |Si| for all i. (If Sj = , then P ( = j, Rj = k) = P (  = j, Rj = 1) = 0.) By (3.1), (3.2) and (3.4), we have

+p(k, n) = P (R = k) = P ( = j, Rj = k)

+ P (  = j, Rj = 1) = P (R = 1)  p(1, n).

+
+(3.5)
+
+It remains to show that (at least) one of the two inequalities in (3.5) is strict (so that p(k, n) < p(1, n)). If the stopping rule   is not optimal for selecting the best candidate, then the second inequality in (3.5) is strict. Suppose   is optimal for selecting the best candidate, which implies, in view of n  3, that S1 =  and Sn -1 = {1}, which in turn implies that |Sn-1|  1. If |Sn-1|  2, then the inequality in (3.4) is strict for j = n, implying that the first inequality in (3.5) is strict. Suppose Sn-1 = {} for some . Then we have
+
+
+
+  
+
+n-k n(n-1)
+
+,
+
+
+
+
+
+P (Rn-1 = k, Xn-1 = ) =

+k-1 n(n-1)
+
+,
+
+  0,
+
+if k = ; if k =  + 1; if k -  = 0, 1;
+
+implying, in view of 1 < k < n, that the inequality in (3.3) is strict for j = n - 1, which in turn implies that the inequality in (3.4) is strict for j = n - 1. It follows that the first inequality in (3.5) is strict. The proof is complete.
+
+Theorem 3.2. For 1  k  n, we have p(k, n)  p(k, n + 1) (i.e. p(k, n) is decreasing in n) and p(k, n)  p(k + 1, n + 1). Furthermore, p(k, ) := limn p(k, n) is well defined, and p(k, )  p(k + 1, ).
+
+9
+
+Proof. (i) To show p(k, n)  p(k, n + 1), consider the case of selecting the k-th best of n + 1 candidates. Let the random variable I  {1, . . . , n + 1} be such that RI = n + 1 (i.e. the worst candidate is the I-th person to be interviewed). If I is known to the manager (or more precisely, the manager knows the position of the worst candidate before the interview process begins), then the problem of optimally selecting the k-th best of the n + 1 candidates is equivalent to that of optimally selecting the k-th best of the n candidates (excluding the worst one). (Indeed, let Xi = Xi for 1  i < I and Xi = Xi+1 for I  i  n. Given I, X1 , . . . , Xn are (conditionally) independent with each Xi being uniform over {1, . . . , i}.) Thus, when I is known to the manager, the maximum probability of selecting the k-th best candidate equals p(k, n), which must be at least as large as p(k, n + 1), the maximum probability of selecting the k-th best of the n + 1 candidates when I is unavailable. This proves that p(k, n)  p(k, n + 1).
+(ii) To show p(k, n)  p(k + 1, n + 1), note that
+
+p(k, n) = p(n - k + 1, n)  p(n + 1 - k, n + 1) = p(k + 1, n + 1),
+
+(3.6)
+
+where the two equalities follow from the symmetry property p(k, n) = p(n - k + 1, n) and
+
+the inequality follows from the decreasing property of p(k, n) in n.
+
+(iii) Since p(k, n) is decreasing in n, p(k, ) := limn p(k, n) is well defined. By (3.6), we have
+
+p(k, ) = lim p(k, n)  lim p(k + 1, n + 1) = p(k + 1, ).
+
+n
+
+n
+
+The proof is complete.
+
+Remark 3.1. We conjecture that the three inequalities in Theorem 3.2 are all strict. While
+
+p(k, n) is decreasing in n, in view of p(1, n) > p(k, n) for 1 < k < n and p(k, )

+The next theorem extends Theorem 3.1 to the setting where the goal is to select a candidate whose rank belongs to a prescribed subset  of {1, . . . , n} (cf. Suchwalko and Szajowski [10]). Let

+Proof of Theorem 3.3. As in the proof of Theorem 3.1, let  be a (non-randomized) optimal stopping rule determined by a sequence of subsets {Sj} of {1, . . . , n} such that Sj  {1, . . . , j},  = min{j : Xj  Sj} and P (R  ) = p(, n). Again, as stopping at n is enforced (if  > n - 1), we may assume that Sn = {1, 2, . . . , n}. Let Sj = {1, 2, . . . , |Sj|}, so |Sj | = |Sj| (in particular, Sj =  if Sj = ). Let   = min{j : Xj  Sj }. Claim
+
+P (Rj  {t1, t2, . . . , tc}, Xj  {s1, s2, . . . , sd})  P (Rj  {1, 2, . . . , c}, Xj  {1, 2, . . . , d}) (3.9)
+for 1  d  j  n, 1  c  n, 1  t1 < t2 < � � � < tc  n, and 1  s1 < s2 < � � � < sd  j. If
+
+11
+
+the claim (3.9) is true, then for j = 1, . . . , n,
+
+P ( = j, Rj  ) = P (Xi / Si, i = 1, . . . , j - 1, Xj  Sj, Rj  )
+
+j-1

+P (Xi / Si) P (Rj  , Xj  Sj)

+
+= P (  = j, Rj  {1, . . . , c}),
+
+implying that p(, n) = P (R  )  P (R  {1, . . . , c})  p({1, . . . , c}, n). It remains to establish (3.9). Note that
+
+P (Rj  {t1, . . . , tc}, Xj  {s1, . . . , sd})

+
+for 1  d  j  n, 1  c  n, 1  t1 < � � � < tc  n and 1  s1 < � � � < sd  j. Note
+
+that (3.10) holds for d  c (since (3.9) does for d  c). Also, from
+
+n-t j -si
+
+= 0 for t > n or
+
+si > j, it follows easily that for fixed n, if (3.10) holds for all (j, c, d, t1, . . . , tc, s1, . . . , sd) with
+
+1  d  j  n, 1  c  n, 1  t1 < � � � < tc  n and 1  s1 < � � � < sd  j, then (3.10) holds
+
+for all (j, c, d, t1, . . . , tc, s1, . . . , sd) with 1  j  n, 1  t1 < � � � < tc and 1  s1 < � � � < sd.
+
+This (trivial) observation is needed later. To prove (3.10), we proceed by induction on n.
+
+For n = 1, necessarily j = 1 and c = d = 1 (since 1  d  j  n and 1  c  n). So (3.10)

+holds for n = 1.

We need to show that (3.10) holds for n + 1 (with 1  d < c), i.e.

+
+1  s1 < s2 < � � � < sd  j. If j = 1, then necessarily d = 1 and s1 = 1, so that both sides
+
+of (3.11) equal c, implying that (3.11) holds for j = 1. For j = n + 1, the left hand side of

+(3.11) equals
+
+dc i=1 =1
+
+t - 1 si - 1
+
+n - t + 1 n - si + 1
+
+ d,
+
+since the two inequalities t - 1  si - 1 and n - t + 1  n - si + 1 hold simultaneously if

+Proof of Lemma 2.1. (i) Note (cf. Remark 2.1) that an = x0 < x0 + 1 where x0 is the smaller root of fn(x) = 0. We now show fn(bn - 1) < 0 (which implies that an < x0 + 1 < (bn - 1) + 1 = bn). We have
+fn(bn - 1) = 3(bn - 1)2 - (1 + 4n)(bn - 1) + (n - 2)bn + 2(n + 1) + un  3(bn - 1)2 - (1 + 4n)(bn - 1) + (n - 2)bn + 2(n + 1) + bn(n - 2) (by (4.5)) = (bn - 3) [3bn - (2n + 2)] < 0 (by (4.2)).
+
+This proves (i). (ii) Note that
+
+fn(bn)  3b2n - (1 + 4n)bn + (n - 2)bn + 2(n + 1) + bn(n - 2) = (bn - 1) [3bn - (2n + 2)] < 0 (by (4.2)).
+
+This proves that bn < y0.

+
+Proof of Lemma 2.2. By Lemma 2.1, an < bn. (i) Let
+
+Qi = {X = 2 for an    i - 1, Xi = 2}, an  i  bn - 1; Qi = {X = 2 for an    bn - 1, X = 2, 3 for bn    i - 1, Xi = 2}, i  bn; and Qi = {X = 2 for an    bn - 1, X = 2, 3 for bn    i - 1, Xi = 3}, i  bn.
+
+Since X is uniformly distributed over {1, 2, . . . , }, the Xs are independent and Ri is conditionally independent of X1, . . . , Xi-1 given Xi, we have
+
+P (Qi) =
+
+(an i(i
+
+- -
+

+,
+
+P

+(Ri

+
+The heated debate on the importance of stellar rotation and age spreads in massive star clusters has just become hotter by throwing stellar variability into the mix.
+A quiet revolution has been sweeping the field of star-cluster astrophysics. A decade ago, we were reasonably convinced that we understood the formation and evolution of the massive, well-populated star clusters that can be used as a statistical tool for studies of stellar evolution. Groups of stars characterized by a common age and chemical composition were considered `simple stellar populations', given that all of their stars had presumably formed from the same progenitor molecular gas cloud at approximately the same time. Admittedly, the oldest galactic building blocks, the globular clusters, were known to exhibit evidence of multiple stellar generations1, but clusters younger than a few billion years appeared to obey our simple models. Fast forward a decade, and we now know that the majority of 1�3 billion-year-old star clusters in the nearest galaxies, the Magellanic Clouds, are anything but simple. Indeed, writing in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, Ricardo Salinas and co-workers show that a significant population of pulsating stars can have a measurable effect on our interpretation of stellar evolution within such clusters2.
+Deviations from the simple stellar population model show up most readily in a cluster's colour�magnitude diagram. This type of plot is the observational counterpart to the theoretical Hertzsprung�Russell diagram, which relates the temperatures (or colours) of the cluster's stars to their luminosities. Instead of being randomly distributed, the stars tend to lie on bands. Most stars, including the Sun, belong to the `main sequence', when they are fusing hydrogen into helium in their cores. By mapping a stellar population in this manner, it is possible to estimate the age of the stars in a given cluster.
+Most of the `intermediate-age' clusters in the Magellanic Clouds exhibit extended regions in colour-magnitude space3,4 at the `mainsequence turn-off'--the evolutionary phase where stars have exhausted their core hydrogen--but still on the `main sequence', before commencing hydrogen fusion in a thin shell surrounding their cores. Single-aged, single-metallicity stellar populations would, instead, exhibit narrow ridgelines and sharp turn-offs. Initial explanations for the extended main-sequence turn-off areas suggested that massive clusters might have continued forming stars for some time following a cluster's initial burst of star formation5. This would also generate a range of metal abundances over time as new generations of stars formed from the chemically enhanced debris of their progenitors. This idea has lost traction in recent years with the realization that star clusters may be composed of coeval stellar populations after all, but whose stars might be characterized by a range of rotation rates4.
+In the classical `instability strip' in the Hertzsprung�Russell diagram, stars become unstable and exhibit pulsations because of cycli-
+
+Figure 1 | Heart of brightness. Variable stars such as the  Scuti variables change their luminosity and temperature in a periodic fashion, thus appearing to pulsate. In the dimmest phase, the outer shell is rich in He2+ and is opaque, so radiation from within gets trapped. As it warms, the star expands and cools. The He2+ then converts to He+, which is more transparent, allowing the heat to escape. As the star continues to cool, the expansion stops, and eventually reverses under the star's own gravity. (Figure adapted from Antonine Education)
+cal abundance changes of singly and doubly ionized helium in their atmospheres6 (Fig. 1). It crosses the main sequence for A- and F-type stars, that is, for stars with masses ranging from approximately 1.5 to 2.5 solar masses. Conventional stellar evolution theory implies that such stars occupy the main-sequence turn-offs in coeval star clusters with ages of about 1�3 billion years. The majority of main-sequence turn-off stars are stable, even those located inside the instability strip. Yet, certain stellar types exhibit photometric variability, including the rapidly oscillating peculiar A-type (`roAp') stars, SX Phoenicis and  Scuti variables. The  Scuti variables show periodic luminosity changes ranging from 30 minutes to 8 hours, which are driven by both radial and non-radial (wave-like) pulsations on the stellar surface.
+Salinas et al.2 point out that the effects of the luminosity and colour changes of  Scuti stars in the main-sequence turn-off area have been completely ignored. The authors analyse theoretical colour�magnitude diagrams, varying both the fraction of the main-sequence stars residing in the instability strip which are actually pulsating variables--a ratio known as the `incidence'--and their maximum photometric amplitudes. Their first important conclusion states that the density of cluster stars near the observational ridgeline (or, alternatively, the theoretical
+
+1
+
+isochrone) decreases as the incidence increases from 10% to 50%, with the distribution becoming as much as 50% wider for the highest incidence.
+Second, and perhaps most interesting, their analysis implies that the extent of the main-sequence turn-off region owing to the presence of  Scuti stars is maximal for cluster ages around 2 billion years. Clusters younger than 1 billion years or those older than 2.5 billion years are not affected because of the complex interplay between the location of  Scuti stars on the main sequence and its age-dependent overlap with the instability strip. This fresh insight is eerily similar to the results from a recent independent analysis which considered the apparent internal cluster age spread implied by the extent of the main-sequence turn-off as a function of cluster age, reaching a maximum at an age of 1.5�1.7 billion years7.
+The results of Salinas and co-workers are intriguing and offer significant food for thought. They naturally explain the observed absence both of broadened subgiant branches in the colour�magnitude diagrams8 and of extended red clumps9. Yet, the actual incidence of  Scuti variables in single-aged star clusters is unknown, so that current estimates are necessarily based on the properties of their counterparts among the Milky Way's field stellar population--perhaps not the best comparison sample. Observational data to confirm or reject these novel
+
+insights are, unfortunately, challenging to obtain. As there are no suitable young or intermediate-age clusters available in our Milky Way, we would need to secure time-series observations at high spatial resolution of 1�3 billion-year-old star clusters in the Magellanic Clouds. This approach would require Hubble Space Telescope capabilities; even with their adaptive optics capability turned on, the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope cannot attain the resolution needed, given the Magellanic Clouds' location deep in the southern hemisphere and the correspondingly large air column affecting such observations. Therefore, the viability of the Salinas et al. proposal remains to be tested, but at least the field can now move forward again.

+Competing inhomogeneous orders are a central feature of correlated electron materials including the high-temperature superconductors. The twodimensional Hubbard model serves as the canonical microscopic physical model for such systems. Multiple orders have been proposed in the underdoped part of the phase diagram, which corresponds to a regime of maximum numerical difficulty. By combining the latest numerical methods in exhaustive simulations, we uncover the ordering in the underdoped ground state. We find
+1
+
+a stripe order that has a highly compressible wavelength on an energy scale of a few Kelvin, with wavelength fluctuations coupled to pairing order. The favored filled stripe order is different from that seen in real materials. Our results demonstrate the power of modern numerical methods to solve microscopic models even in challenging settings.
+
+Competing inhomogeneous orders are a common feature in many strongly correlated materials (1). A famous example is found in the underdoped region of the phase diagram of the hightemperature cuprate superconductors (HTSC). Here, multiple probes, including neutron scattering, scanning tunneling microscopy, resonant X-ray scattering, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy all lend support to various proposed inhomogeneous orders, such as charge, spin, and pair density waves, with suggested patterns ranging from unidirectional stripes to checkerboards (2, 3). Recent experiments on cuprates indicate that the observed inhomogeneous orders are distinct from, and compete with, pseudogap physics (4, 5).
+Much theoretical effort has been directed to explaining the origin of the inhomogeneities (6). Numerical calculations on microscopic lattice models have provided illuminating examples of the possible orders. The prototypical lattice model to understand HTSC is the 2D Hubbard model on a square lattice, with the Hamiltonian
+
+H =-
+
+taiaj + U nini
+
+(1)
+
+ij ,{,}
+
+i
+
+where a (a) denote the usual fermion creation (annihilation) operators, n is the number oper-
+
+ator, and t and U are the kinetic and repulsion energies. A large number of numerical tech-
+
+niques have been applied to compute the low-temperature and ground-state phase diagram of
+
+this model. Early evidence for unidirectional stripe ordering in the Hubbard model came from
+
+Hartree-Fock calculations (7�10), whereas non-convex energy versus filling curves in exact di-
+
+agonalization of small clusters of the t-J model (derived from the Hubbard model at large U
+
+2
+
+where double occupancy is eliminated) were interpreted as signs of macroscopic phase separation (11, 12). Since then, inhomogeneous orders have been obtained both in the Hubbard and t-J models from calculations using the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) (13�15), variational quantum Monte Carlo (16) and constrained path auxiliary field quantum Monte Carlo (AFQMC) (17), infinite projected entangled pair states (iPEPS) (18), density matrix embedding theory (DMET) (19), and functional renormalization group (20) among others, although the type of inhomogeneity can vary depending on the model and numerical method. However, there are other sophisticated simulations, for example, with variational and projector quantum Monte Carlo (21,22), and cluster dynamical mean-field theory, which do not see, or are unable to resolve, the inhomogeneous order (23, 24). The most recent studies with iPEPS (18) and DMET (19), as well as some earlier variational calculations (16, 25�27), further show that both homogeneous and inhomogeneous states can be stabilized within the same numerical methodology, with a small energy difference between homogeneous and inhomogeneous states, on the order of  0.01t per site.
+The small energy differences between orders means that very small biases in ground state simulations, such as from an incomplete treatment of fluctuations, using insufficiently accurate constraints to control the sign problem, or from finite size effects, can easily stabilize one order over the other. Similarly, the low temperatures needed to resolve between orders is a challenge for finite temperature methods (28, 29). Settling the resulting debate between candidate states has thus so far been beyond reach. In this work we demonstrate that, with the latest numerical techniques, obtaining a definitive characterization of the ground state order in the underdoped region of the 2D Hubbard model is now an achievable goal. As a representative point in the phase diagram, we choose the well-known 1/8 doping point at strong coupling (U/t = 8). Experimentally, this doping corresponds to a region of maximal inhomogeneity in many HTSC's, and in the strong coupling regime it is recognized as a point of maximum numerical difficulty
+3
+
+and uncertainty in simulations (24). Using state-of-the-art computations with detailed crosschecks and validation, including newer methodologies such as infinite projected-entangled pair states (iPEPS) and density matrix embedding theory (DMET) as well as recent developments in established methodologies such as constrained-path auxiliary field quantum Monte Carlo (AFQMC) and density matrix renormalization group (DMRG), and with exhaustive accounting for finite size effects combined with calculations directly in the thermodynamic limit, we are able to finally answer the question: what is the order and physics found in the underdoped ground state of the 2D Hubbard model?
+Computational strategy
+An important strategy we bring to bear on this part of the Hubbard model phase diagram is to combine the insights of multiple numerical tools with complementary strengths and weaknesses. This approach, pioneered in (24), greatly increases the confidence of the numerical characterization. To understand what each method contributes, we briefly summarize the theoretical background and corresponding sources of error. Further details are provided in (30). Auxiliary field quantum Monte Carlo. AFQMC expresses the ground state of a finite system through imaginary time evolution, lim e-H|0 , where |0 is an initial state. The projection is Trotterized, and the evolution reduces to a stochastic single-particle evolution in the presence of auxiliary fields generated by the Hubbard-Stratonovich decoupling of the Hubbard repulsion. Away from half-filling, this decoupling has a sign problem. We use the constrained path (CP) approximation to eliminate the sign problem at the cost of a bias dependent on the quality of the trial state (31, 32). In this work, the Trotter error is well converged and we report the statistical error bar. To minimize the constrained path bias, we use several different trial states, including self-consistent optimization of the trial state (33). The calculations are carried out on finite cylinders with open, periodic, and twist-averaged boundary conditions, with widths
+4
+
+of up to 12 sites, and lengths of up to 72 sites. This method can reach large sizes and finite size effects are minimized. The uncontrolled error is from the CP approximation. Density matrix renormalization group. DMRG is a variational wavefunction approximation using matrix product states (MPS), which are low-entanglement states with a 1D entanglement structure. The quality of the approximation is determined by the bond dimension (matrix dimension) of the MPS. The calculations are carried out on finite cylinders with widths of up to 7 sites, and lengths of up to 64 sites, with periodic boundary conditions in the short direction and open boundaries in the long direction. Two different DMRG algorithms were used: one working in a pure (real-space) lattice basis, and another in a mixed momentum/lattice (hybrid) basis, with the momentum representation used along the short periodic direction (34). We remove the bond dimension error and finite size error in the long direction by well-known extrapolation procedures, and report the associated error bar (35). Consistency between the lattice and hybrid DMRG algorithms provides a strong validation of this error bar. The remaining uncontrolled error is the finite width error in the periodic direction. Density matrix embedding. DMET is a quantum embedding method which works directly at the thermodynamic limit, although interactions are only accurately treated within an impurity cluster (36). To solve the impurity problem, consisting of a supercell of the original lattice coupled to a set of auxiliary bath sites, we use a DMRG solver. We treat supercells with up to 18 sites. The error bar reported in DMET corresponds to the estimated error from incomplete self-consistency of the impurity problem. The remaining uncontrolled error is the finite impurity size error. Infinite projected entangled pair states. iPEPS is a variational approach using a low-entanglement tensor network ansatz natural to 2D systems (37�39). The calculations are carried out directly in the thermodynamic limit where different supercell sizes including up to 16 sites are used to stabilize different low-energy states (with different orders commensurate with the supercell).
+5
+
+As in DMRG, the accuracy of the ansatz is systematically controlled by the bond dimension
+
+D of the tensors. Estimates of quantities in the exact D limit are obtained using an empirical
+
+extrapolation technique which is a potential source of uncontrolled error.
+
+Cross-checks: systematic errors, finite size biases. The use of multiple techniques allows
+
+us to estimate the uncontrolled errors from one technique using information from another. For
+
+example, by carrying out simulations on the same finite clusters in the AFQMC and DMRG
+
+calculations, we can estimate the constrained path bias in AFQMC. Similarly, in the AFQMC
+
+calculations we can treat larger width cylinders than in the DMRG simulations; thus we can
+
+estimate the finite width error in DMRG.
+
+In all of the methods, there is a bias towards orders commensurate with the shape of the sim-
+
+ulation cell, be it the finite lattice and boundary conditions in AFQMC/DMRG, or the impurity
+
+cluster in DMET, or the supercell in iPEPS. Using this bias, together with different boundary
+
+conditions and pinning fields, we can stabilize different meta-stable orders. For example, by
+
+setting up clusters commensurate with multiple inhomogeneous orders and observing the order
+
+that survives, we can determine the relative energetics of the candidate states. We can fit the
+
+orders along the short axis or the long axis of the cluster to obtain two independent estimates
+
+of the energy. We have carried out exhaustive studies of about 100 different combinations of
+
+clusters, cells, and boundary conditions, to fully investigate the low-energy landscape of states.
+
+These detailed results are presented in (30). To characterize the orders, we use the local hole

+
+Characterizing the ground state at 1/8 doping
+
+Using the above methods, we carried out calculations for the ground state of the 2D Hubbard model at 1/8 doping at U/t = 8. The first check of reliability is the independent convergence of
+6
+
+the methods for the energy per site. Although the quality of the ground-state energy may be a poor proxy for the quality of the corresponding state when the overall accuracy is low (as there are always many degenerate states far above the ground state), calculations with well-converged energies tightly constrain the ground state order, as any degeneracies must be below the energy convergence threshold. Figure 1 shows the best energy estimate for the ground state from the different methods (30). The two different DMRG formulations (real-space and hybrid basis) are in good agreement, providing a strong independent check of the calculations: in subsequent figures we report only the single consistent result. Note that the error bars for AFQMC, DMRG, and DMET do not reflect the uncontrolled systematic errors in the methods. However, as described above, the systematic errors can be estimated by cross-checks between the methods. For example, DMRG and AFQMC calculations on finite clusters with identical boundary conditions provide an estimate of the small constrained path bias (see (30) and Ref. (33)) consistent with the difference in the DMRG and AFQMC energies in Fig. 1; similarly AFQMC extrapolations to the thermodynamic limit indicate that the DMRG energies are essentially converged with respect to cylinder width.
+There is good agreement between all the methods, and all energies lie in the range -0.767� 0.004t. If, for a typical HTSC material, we estimate t  3000K, then this corresponds to a range of about �10K per site, or �100K per hole. For a numerical comparison, this is also more than an order of magnitude lower than the temperatures accessible in finite temperature, thermodynamic limit simulations in this part of the phase diagram, indicating that we are potentially accessing different physics (24, 29). Shown in the inset are the corresponding best estimates at half-filling from the same methods, where the spread in energies is less than 0.001t. This illustrates the significantly greater numerical challenge encountered in the underdoped region. Nonetheless, the accuracy and agreement reached here represents a ten-fold improvement over recent comparisons of numerical methods at this point in the phase diagram (24).

Note that the spins are flipped in the neighboring supercells. (For B, C, D, circle radius is proportional to hole density, arrow height is proportional to spin density, bond width is proportional to pairing density). For more details see (30).
+Ground state stripe order. For all the methods employed, the lowest energies shown in Fig. 1 correspond to a vertical striped state. This is a co-directional charge and spin-density wave state, with the region of maximum hole density coinciding with a domain wall in the antiferromagnetism. As mentioned, unidirectional stripes of various kinds are a long-standing candidate order in the doped Hubbard and related models. Hartree-Fock calculations give filled stripes (i.e. one hole per charge unit cell) in both vertical and diagonal orientations, whereas one of the first applications of the DMRG to 2D systems found strong evidence for half-filled stripes in the t-J model (13). Finally, one of the earliest examples of inhomogeneity in doped HTSC's were the static half-filled stripes in LaSrCuO at 1/8 doping (40).
+The convergence to the same inhomogeneous order in the ground state in the current study, from multiple methods with very different approximations, strongly suggests that stripes indeed represent the true ground state order of the Hubbard model in the underdoped regime, and fur-
+9
+
+ther highlights the accuracy we achieve with different techniques. However, the stripe order we find has some unusual characteristics. We return to the details of the stripe order, its associated physics, and its relationship with experimentally observed stripes further below. First, however, we examine the possibility of other competing meta-stable states. Competing states: uniform d-wave state. Recent work using iPEPS and DMET on the t-J and Hubbard models suggested close competition between a uniform d-wave superconducting ground state and a striped order (18, 19). Uniform states did not spontaneously appear in any of our calculations which indicates that they lie higher in energy than the striped order. We found that we could stabilize a uniform d-wave state in the DMET calculations by constraining the
+ impurity cluster to a 2 � 2 or 2 2 � 2 geometry and in the iPEPS calculations by using a 2 � 2 unit cell. DMET calculations on similarly shaped larger clusters (such as a 4 � 4 cluster) spontaneously broke symmetry to create a non-uniform state. From these calculations we estimate that the uniform state lies  0.01t above the lowest energy state, and is not competitive at the energy resolution we can now achieve (30). Competing states: other short-range orders. Although other types of order have been proposed in the underdoped region, such as spiral magnetic phases (20, 41) and checkerboard order (42), we find no evidence for other kinds of short-range orders at this point in the phase diagram. The lack of checkerboard order, which would easily fit within the large clusters in our simulations (e.g. up to 64 � 6 in the DMRG calculations) appears to rule them out as low energy states, in agreement with earlier DMRG simulations on the t-J model (43). Though we cannot rule out incommensurate orders, we have found that the variation of energy with unit cell wavelength (see below) is quite smooth, thus we do not expect a dramatic energy gain from incommensurability. We note that studies that have found incommensurate magnetic orders have focused on smaller values of U (20). Diagonal versus vertical stripes. We find the ground state order to be a vertical stripe type or-
+10
+
+der, but other studies of stripes indicate that different orientations can form (44). On short length scales, the relevant question is whether diagonal stripes (with a (, ) wave vector) are competitive with vertical stripes (with a (0, ) wavevector). With the boundary conditions used in this work, diagonal stripes would be frustrated in the DMRG and AFQMC calculations, and did not spontaneously appear. To stabilize diagonal stripes in the DMET and iPEPS calculations, we
+ used tilted n 2 � 2 impurity clusters (n = 2, 5) for DMET, and a 16 � 16 simulation cell with 16 independent tensors in iPEPS. The 16�16 iPEPS cell gave a diagonal stripe (Fig. 2) that was significantly higher in energy than the vertical stripe, by 0.009t. The DMET cluster gave rise to a frustrated diagonal order that we also estimate to be higher in energy by  0.005t (30). Although it is likely that the orientation of the stripe will depend on doping and coupling, vertical stripes appear to be significantly preferred at this point in the phase diagram. Ground state stripes: detailed analysis. We now return to a more detailed discussion of the vertical stripe order found in the ground-state. Within the family of vertical stripes, we can consider questions of wavelength (charge and spin periodicity), type and strength of charge and spin modulation (e.g. bond- versus site-centered), and coexistence with pairing order.
+We first discuss the wavelength . At 1/8 doping, the filling of the stripe is related to the wavelength by /8. As described, we can access different wavelength meta-stable stripes and their relative energetics by carefully choosing different total cluster dimensions and boundary conditions (in the DMRG and AFQMC calculations) or unit cell/impurity sizes (in the iPEPS and DMET calculations) (30). Figure 3 shows the energy per site of the stripe versus its wavelength  for the multiple methods. Earlier DMRG calculations on the Hubbard model had focused on  = 4 (half-filled stripes) which are seen in HTSC's (13, 14), but we now observe that these are relatively high in energy. A striking feature is that for  = 5 - 8 the energies are nearly degenerate. This is clearly seen in the DMET data where stripes of all wavelengths can be stabilized, as well as from the averaged energy of the methods between  = 5 - 8 (stars in

+Fig. 3). The energy difference between the  = 5 and  = 8 stripe in the different methods is estimated to be between 0.0005t (DMRG)�0.0041t (iPEPS). This suggests that the magnetic domain walls can fluctuate freely, consistent with proposals for fluctuating stripes. In particular, the stripes may be distorted at a small cost over long length scales.
+Although the different wavelengths are nearly degenerate, there appears to be a slight minimum near wavelength  = 8 (a filled stripe) in all the methods. Very recently, similar filled stripes have been reported as the ground state in part of the frustrated t-J model phase diagram (45).  = 9 appears significantly higher in energy in both DMET and DMRG. In the DMRG calculations, the  = 9 state was not even metastable as boundary conditions and initial states were varied, so the high-energy state shown was forced with a static potential. The AFQMC results show a much weaker dependence on wavelength for longer wavelengths, for example the  = 8 and  = 10 stripe energies per site appear to be within 0.0015t. However, when a mixture of the  = 8 and  = 10 stripe states is set up on a length 40 cluster that is commensurate with both, the state that survives is the  = 8 stripe, suggesting a preference for this wavelength. The increase in energy at wavelengths  > 8 coincides with unfavourable double occupancy of the stripe. This simple interpretation is supported by a mean-field (unrestricted Hartree-Fock (UHF)) calculation with an effective interaction U/t = 2.7 chosen within the selfconsistent AFQMC procedure (Fig. 3, inset). The mean-field result shows a clear minimum at a wavelength 8 vertical stripe. (Note that this requires the use of an effective U/t; at the bare U/t = 8, mean-field theory would produce a diagonal stripe (46)). The correspondence between the energies and densities in the effective mean-field and correlated calculations suggests that mean-field theory with a renormalized interaction may be surprisingly good at describing the energetics of stripes. However, mean-field theory appears to somewhat underestimate the degeneracy of the stripes as a function of wavelength, particularly at shorter wavelengths.

In the iPEPS calculation, the stripe is nominally site-centered. In all the calculations, the width of the hole domain wall spans several sites, blurring the distinction between bond- and site-centered stripes, and we conclude that the energy difference between the two is very small. There is substantial agreement in the order observed by the different numerical techniques, with only some differences in the modulation of the hole and spin-densities.
+Note that for even wavelength stripes, the spin wavelength must be twice that of the charge modulation in order to accommodate the stripe as well as the antiferromagnetic order. At odd wavelengths, site-centered stripes appear in all the calculations, and here charge and spin order can have the same wavelength. (This odd-even alternation does not affect the peaks of the structure factor near (, ), see (30)). Pairing order, fluctuations, and superconductivity. A key question is whether pairing order coexists with stripe order. Previous work on the t-J model with iPEPS found co-existing dwave order for partially filled ( < 8) stripes. We did not find d-wave order in the Hubbard  = 8 stripe with any technique. However, d-wave order can be found at other wavelengths. For example, for  = 5,  = 7 stripes, iPEPS produces d-wave order along the bonds (see Fig. 5) with a maximum d-wave expectation value of 0.026 and 0.021, respectively. DMRG calculations with pinning pairing fields on the boundary for a 32 � 4 cylinder also find d-wave order, with a maximum d-wave order of 0.025, consistent with the iPEPS results. In the DMET calculations, the lowest energy  = 5 stripe has no d-wave order, however, at slightly higher energy ( 0.003t) a  = 5 state similar to the iPEPS stripe can be found with co-existing d-wave order, but with a substantially smaller maximum order parameter of 0.01. Overall our results support the coexistence of modulated d-wave order with the striped state, although the strength of pairing is dependent on the stripe wavelength and filling.

+It has long been argued that fluctuating stripes could promote superconductivity (47�49). Our work provides some support for this picture, as there is a low-energy scale associated with the deformation of stripe wavelength, and we also find coupling between the wavelength and the pairing channel. We can imagine fluctuations in wavelength both at low temperatures, as well as in the ground-state. In the latter case, this could lead to a stripe liquid ground-state rather than a stripe crystal. Our calculations are consistent with both possibilities.

For details see (30). Varying the coupling. We may also ask whether the U/t = 8, 1/8 doping point is an anomalous point in the Hubbard phase diagram, and, if, for example, moving away from this point would cause the unusual stripe compressibility (with respect to wavelength at fixed doping) to be lost. In Fig. 6 we show the energies of various striped states and the uniform state at U/t = 6 and U/t = 12, 1/8 doping, computed using AFQMC, DMET and DMRG. At both couplings, the stripes around wavelength 8 are nearly degenerate, with the degeneracy increasing as the coupling increases. At U/t = 6, we find the ground state is a filled stripe state with wavelength
+17
+
+ = 8, with a larger energy stabilization than at U/t = 8. The trend is consistent with the state observed at U/t = 4 with a more sinusoidal spin-density wave, more delocalized holes, and a more pronounced minimum wavelength (17). At U/t = 12, we find a filled stripe with AFQMC and DMRG (width 6), but DMET and DMRG on a narrower cylinder (width 4) find  = 5 - 6. The similarity of the DMET and DMRG (width 4) data suggests that the shorter wavelength is associated with a finite width effect. We note that 2/3 filled stripes consistent with  = 5 - 6 were also seen in earlier DMRG studies on width 6 cylinders (15), but a more detailed analysis shows that the filled stripe becomes favoured when extrapolated to infinite bond dimension (30). Thus, we conclude that the ground state at U/t = 12 is also the  = 8 stripe, although stripes of other wavelengths become even more competitive than at U/t = 8. Overall, the similarity in the physics over a wide range of U/t indicates that striped orders with low energy fluctuations of domain walls remain a robust feature in the moderate to strongly coupled underdoped region. Connection to stripe order in HTSC's. In HTSC's the accepted stripe wavelength at 1/8 doping (e.g. in LaSrCuO) is   4.3 (close to half-filled) (40). However, we find that the  = 4 stripe is not favoured in the 2D Hubbard model for the coupling range (U/t = 6 - 12) normally considered most relevant to cuprate physics. This implies that the detailed charge-ordering of real materials arises from even stronger coupling or, more likely, quantitative corrections beyond the simple Hubbard model. With respect to the latter, one possibility is long-range hopping (such as a next-nearest neighbour hopping) which has been seen to change the preferred stripe wavelength in the frustrated t-J model (45). Another possibility is the long-range Coulomb repulsion. Long-range repulsion can play a dual role, in both driving charge inhomogeneity, as well as smoothing it out. In the Hubbard model, where stripes naturally form, the latter property can help drive the ground state towards shorter stripe wavelengths. We have estimated the effect of the long-range interactions on the stripe energetics by computing the Coulomb energy of the charge distributions in Fig. 4. We use a dielectric constant of 15.5 (in the range proposed for
+18
+
+the cuprate plane (50)). This gives a contribution favouring the shorter wavelength stripes that is  O(0.01t) per site for the  = 4 versus  = 8 stripe (30). Although this is only an order of magnitude estimate, it is on the same energy scale as the stripe energetics in Fig. 2, and thus provides a plausible competing mechanism for detailed stripe physics in real materials.
+Conclusions
+In this work we have employed state-of-the-art numerical methods to determine the ground state of the 1/8 doping point of the 2D Hubbard model at moderate to strong coupling. Through careful convergence of all the methods, and exhaustive cross-checks and validations, we are able to eliminate several of the competing orders that have been proposed for the underdoped region in favour of a vertical striped order with wavelength near   8. The striped order displays a remarkably low energy scale associated with changing its wavelength, which implies strong fluctuations either at low temperature or in the ground-state itself. This low energy scale can roughly be accounted for at the mean-field level with a strongly renormalized U . We find co-existing pairing order with a strength dependent on the stripe wavelength, indicating a coupling of stripe fluctuations to superconductivity. The stripe degeneracy is robust as the coupling strength is varied.
+It has long been a goal of numerical simulations to provide definitive solutions of microscopic models. Our work demonstrates that even in one of the most difficult condensed matter models, such unambiguous simulations are now possible. In so far as the 2D Hubbard model is a realistic model of high-temperature superconductivity, the stripe physics observed here provides a firm basis for understanding the diversity of inhomogeneous orders seen in the materials, as well as a numerical foundation for the theory of fluctuations and its connections to superconductivity. However, our work also enables us to see the limitations of the Hubbard model in understanding real HTSC's. Unlike the stripes at this doping point in real materials, we find
+19
+
+filled stripes rather than near half-filled stripes. Given the very small energy scales involved, terms beyond the Hubbard model, such as long-range Coulomb interactions, will likely play a role in the detailed energetics of stripe fillings. The work we have presented provides an optimistic perspective that achieving a comprehensive numerical characterization of more detailed models of the HTSC's will also be within reach.

+Abstract
+We devise a new high order local absorbing boundary condition (ABC) for radiating problems and scattering of time-harmonic acoustic waves from obstacles of arbitrary shape. By introducing an artificial boundary S enclosing the scatterer, the original unbounded domain  is decomposed into a bounded computational domain - and an exterior unbounded domain +. Then, we define interface conditions at the artificial boundary S , from truncated versions of the well-known Wilcox and Karp farfield expansion representations of the exact solution in the exterior region +. As a result, we obtain a new local absorbing boundary condition (ABC) for a bounded problem on -, which effectively accounts for the outgoing behavior of the scattered field. Contrary to the low order absorbing conditions previously defined, the order of the error induced by this ABC can easily match the order of the numerical method in -. We accomplish this by simply adding as many terms as needed to the truncated farfield expansions of Wilcox or Karp. The convergence of these expansions guarantees that the order of approximation of the new ABC can be increased arbitrarily without having to enlarge the radius of the artificial boundary. We include numerical results in two and three dimensions which demonstrate the improved accuracy and simplicity of this new formulation when compared to other absorbing boundary conditions.

+1. Introduction
+Equations modeling wave phenomena in fields such as geophysics, oceanography, and acoustics among others, are normally defined on unbounded domains. Due to the complexity of the corresponding boundary value problems (BVP), in general, an explicit analytical technique cannot be found. Therefore, they are treated by numerical methods. Major challenges appear when numerically solving wave problems defined in these unbounded regions using volume discretization

+methods. One of them consists of the appropriate definition of absorbing boundary conditions
+
+(ABC) on artificial boundaries such that the solution of the new bounded problem approximates
+
+to a reasonable degree the solution of the original unbounded problem in their common domain.
+
+That is why the definition of ABCs for wave propagation problems in unbounded domain plays a
+
+key role in computation.
+
+Historically two main approaches were initially followed in the evolution of ABCs, as de-
+
+scribed by Givoli in [1]. First, low order local ABCs were constructed. Undoubtedly, one of the
+
+most important ABCs in this category was introduced by Bayliss-Gunzburger-Turkel in their cel-
+
+ebrated paper [2]. This condition is denoted as BGT in the ABC literature. Other well-known
+
+conditions in this category were introduced by Engquist-Majda [3], Feng [4] and Li-Cendes [5].
+
+Some of them became references for many that followed thereafter. Several years later in the late
+
+1980s and early 1990s, exact non-local ABCs made their appearance. Since their definitions are
+
+based on Dirichlet-to-Neumann (DtN) maps, they are called DtN absorbing boundary conditions.
+
+The pioneer work in their formulations and implementations was performed by Keller-Givoli [6, 7]
+
+and Grote-Keller [8]. The main virtue of the DtN absorbing conditions is that they approximate
+
+the field at the artificial boundary almost exactly. Therefore, the accuracy of the numerical com-
+
+putation depends almost entirely on the accuracy of the numerical method employed for the com-
+
+putation at the interior points.
+
+The BGT absorbing condition consists of a sequence of differential operators applied at the
+
+artificial boundary (a circle or a sphere of radius R) which progressively annihilate the first terms
+
+of a farfield expansion of the outgoing wave valid in the exterior of the artificial boundary. We
+
+call the first of these operators BGT1. In three dimensions, it provides an accuracy of O(1/R3) and involves a first order normal derivative. The next condition in this sequence, BGT2 has O(1/R5)
+
+accuracy and includes a second order normal derivative in its definition. They are called BGT
+
+operators of order one and order two, respectively. The drawback of the BGT and of the other
+
+ABCs in the first category is that to increase the order of the approximation at the boundary,
+
+the order of the derivatives present in their definitions also needs to be increased. This leads to
+
+impractical ABCs due to the difficulty found in their implementations beyond the first two orders.
+
+There is also a downside for the DtN-ABCs stemming from the fact the computation of the field at
+
+any boundary point involves all the other boundary points which leads to partially dense matrices
+
+at the final stage of the numerical computation.
+
+The above disadvantages are overcome by the introduction of high order local ABCs without
+
+high order derivatives. According to [1], they are sequences of ABCs of increasing accuracy which
+
+are also practically implementable for an arbitrarily high order. Several ABCs have been formu-
+
+lated within this category in recent years. A detailed description of some of them is found in [1].
+
+A common feature of all these high order local ABCs is the presence of auxiliary variables which
+
+avoid the occurrence of high derivatives (beyond order two) in the ABC's formulation. Probably,
+
+the best known of all these high order local conditions was formulated by Hagstrom-Hariharan
+
+[9] which we denote as HH. They start representing the outgoing solution by an infinite series in
+
+inverse powers of
+
+1 R
+
+,
+
+where
+
+R
+
+is
+
+the
+
+radius
+
+of
+
+a
+
+circular
+
+or
+
+spherical
+
+artificial
+
+boundary.
+
+Analo-
+
+gous to the BGT formulation, the key idea in this formulation is the construction of a sequence of
+
+operators that approximately annihilate the residual of the preceding term in the sequence. As a
+
+result, a sequence of conditions in the form of recurrence formulas for a set of unknown auxiliary
+
+2
+
+variables is obtained. The expression for the first auxiliary variable coincides with BGT1. Similarly, combining the formulas for the first two auxiliary variables, the HH absorbing condition reduces to BGT2. Actually, Zarmi [10] proves that HH is equivalent to BGT for all orders. The difference between these two formulations is that HH does not involve high derivatives owing to the use of the auxiliary variables. Thus, HH can be implemented for arbitrarily high order. The three-dimensional (3D) HH can be considered an exact ABC since it is obtained from an exact representation of the solution in the exterior of the artificial boundary. However, the two-dimensional (2D) HH is only asymptotic because it is obtained from an asymptotic expansion of the exact representation of the solution. Recently, Zarmi-Turkel [11] generalized the HH construction of local high order ABCs. They developed an annihilating technique that can be applied to rather general series representation of the solution in the exterior of the computational domain. As a result, they were able to reobtain HH and derive new high order local ABCs such as a high order extension of Li-Cendes ABC [5].
+Our construction of high order local ABCs proceeds in the opposite way of the previous ABCs discussed above. Instead of defining local differential operators which progressively annihilate the first terms of a series representation of the solution in the exterior of the artificial boundary, we use a truncated version of the series representations directly to define the ABC without defining special differential operators at the boundary. As a consequence, the derivation of the absorbing condition is extremely simple. Moreover, the order of the error induced by this ABC can be easily improved by simply adding as many terms as needed to the truncated farfield expansions The series representations employed are Karp's farfield expansion [12] in 2D, and Wilcox's farfield expansion [13] in 3D. They are exact representations of the outgoing wave outside the circular or spherical artificial boundaries of radius R, respectively. Therefore, the resulting ABC which we call Karp's double farfield expansion (KDFE) and Wilcox farfield expansion (WFE), respectively, can be considered exact ABCs. The exact character of KDFE represents an improvement over HH in 2D, which is only asymptotically valid. Instead of having unknown auxiliary functions as part of the new condition, we simply consider as unknowns the original angular functions appearing in Wilcox's or Karp's farfield expansions. To determine these angular functions, we use the recurrence formulas derived from Wilcox's or Karp's theorems which do not disturb the local character of the ABC. A relevant feature of the farfield expansions approach is that the coefficient (angular function) of their leading term is the farfield pattern of the propagating wave. Thus, no additional computation is required to obtain an approximation for this important profile. For comparison purposes, we also obtain a farfield expansion ABC from the asymptotic farfield expansion of Karp's exact series. We call it Karp's single farfield expansion (KSFE) absorbing boundary condition.
+An important consideration is that the formulation of these absorbing boundary conditions depends on existing knowledge of an exact or asymptotic series representation for the outgoing waves of the problem being studied. This limits the use of Karp and Wilcox farfield expansions ABCs to problems in the entire plane or space, respectively. As a consequence, problems involving straight infinite boundaries as waveguide problems, half-plane, or quarter-plane cannot be modeled by these ABCs. For these type of problems, the most popular method to formulate ABCs is the perfectly matched layer (PML) introduced by Berenger [14]. However, a class of high order absorbing boundary conditions has also been employed by several authors. For instance, Hagstrom,
+3
+
+Mar-Or, and Givoli [15] obtained high order local ABCs for two-dimensional waveguide problems modeled by the wave equation. This ABC was first formulated for the wave equation by Hagstrom-Warburton [16] which in turn is based on a modification of the Higdon ABCs [17]. More recently, Rabinovich and et al. [18] adapted Hagstrom-Warburton ABC to time-harmonic problems in a waveguide and a quarter-plane modeled by the Helmholtz equation.
+The outline of the succeeding sections is as follows. In Section 2, details about the expansions KDFE, KSFE, and WFE are given. Also, the relationships between lower orders of KSFE absorbing boundary condition, BGT1, and BGT2 are established. Then in Section 3, the numerical method is described in the 2D case for KDFE. In particular, the discrete equations at the boundary are carefully derived. This is followed by an analysis of the structure of the matrices defining the ultimate linear systems for KSFE, KDFE, and DtN boundary value problems, respectively. Finally, numerical results for scattering and radiating problems, from circular and complexly shaped obstacles in 2D, and also from spherical obstacles in 3D, employing the novel farfield expansions ABCs, are reported in Section 6.
+
+2. High order local absorbing conditions from farfield expansions
+
+We start this Section by considering the scattering problem of a time-harmonic incident wave,
+uinc, from a single obstacle in two or three dimensions. This scatterer is an impenetrable obstacle that occupies a simply connected bounded region with boundary . The open unbounded region in the exterior of  is denoted as . This region  is occupied by a homogeneous and isotropic medium. Both the incident field uinc and the scattered field usc satisfy the Helmholtz equation in . For simplicity, we assume a Dirichlet boundary condition (soft obstacle) on . However, the analysis in this article can be easily extended to Neumann or Robin boundary conditions, and to a
+bounded penetrable scatterer with inhomogeneous and anisotropic properties. Then, usc solves the following boundary value problem (BVP):
+
+usc + k2usc = f
+
+in ,
+
+(1)
+
+usc = -uinc
+
+on ,
+
+(2)
+
+lim r(-1)/2 (rusc - ikusc) = 0.
+
+(3)
+
+r
+
+The wave number k and the source f may vary in space. Equation (3) is known as the Sommerfeld radiation condition where r = |x| and  = 2 or 3 for two or three dimensions, respectively. It implies that usc is an outgoing wave. This boundary value problem is well-posed under classical and weak formulations [19, 20, 21].
+As pointed out in the introduction, the unbounded BVP (1)-(3) needs to be transformed into
+a bounded BVP before a numerical solution can be sought. This is typically done by introducing
+an artificial boundary S enclosing the obstacle followed by defining an appropriate absorbing
+boundary condition (ABC) on S . We choose a circular or spherical artificial boundary for the two- or three-dimensional scenarios, respectively. As a result, the region  is divided into two open regions. The region -, bounded internally by the obstacle boundary  and externally by the artificial boundary S (a circle or a sphere of radius r = R), and the open unbounded connected region + =  \ -. We assume that the source f has its support in -, and the wave number
+4
+
+k is constant in +. An appropriate ABC should induce no or little spurious reflections from the artificial boundary S in order to maintain a good accuracy for the numerical solution inside -.
+As an intermediate step before constructing our high order local ABC in the next sections, we consider the following equivalent interface problem to the original BVP (1)-(3) for u-sc = usc|- and u+sc = usc|+:
+
+u-sc + k2u-sc = f ,
+
+in -,
+
+(4)
+
+u+sc + k2u+sc = 0,
+
+in +,
+
+(5)
+
+u-sc = -uinc,
+
+on ,
+
+(6)
+
+with the interface and Sommerfeld conditions:
+
+u-sc = u+sc,
+
+on S ,
+
+(7)
+
+u-sc = u+sc
+
+on S ,
+
+(8)
+
+lim r(-1)/2
+r
+
+ru+sc - iku+sc
+
+= 0,
+
+(9)
+
+where  denotes the derivative in the outer normal direction on S . The original scattering problem
+(1)-(3), and the interface problem (4)-(9) are equivalent as shown in [22, Thm 1] or [21, Lemma
+4.19]. As a consequence, by simply requiring the Cauchy data to match at the artificial boundary
+S , all higher order derivatives also match at the interface. This matching condition at the artificial boundary will ultimately lead to a bounded BVP in - whose numerical solution approximates to a reasonable degree the solution of the original unbounded problem in -. This bounded BVP is constructed by realizing that there is an analytical representation of the solution u+sc for the portion of the interface problem defined in +. By matching, at the artificial boundary S , this analytical solution with the solution u-sc defined in the interior region -, the bounded BVP sought in - is finally obtained. The numerical solution of this bounded BVP in - is the main subject of this work. Furthermore, once this numerical solution for u-sc is obtained, the analytical representation for u+sc can be evaluated in +. Details of the derivation of the bounded BVP in - are given in the sections below. Moreover, since the problem in - is to be solved numerically, we can consider a rather general source term f and a variable wave number k inside -. However, for sake of simplicity, from now on we assume f = 0 and k constant.
+
+2.1. Karp's double farfield expansion (KDFE) absorbing boundary condition in 2D
+Here, we consider the outgoing field u+sc satisfying the 2D Helmholtz equation exterior to a circle r = R and the Sommerfeld radiation condition (3) for  = 2. Our derivation of the new exact absorbing boundary condition is based on a well-known representation of outgoing solutions of the Helmholtz equation in 2D by two infinite series in powers of 1/kr. This representation is provided
+by the following theorem due to Karp.
+
+Theorem 1 (Karp [12]). Let u+sc be an outgoing solution of the two-dimensional Helmholtz equation in the exterior region to a circle r = R. Then, u+sc can be represented by a convergent expansion
+
+u+sc(r, ) = H0(kr)
+
+ l=0
+
+Fl() (kr)l
+
++ H1(kr) 5
+
+ l=0
+
+Gl() , (kr)l
+
+for r > R.
+
+(10)
+
+This series is uniformly and absolutely convergent for r > R and can be differentiated term by term with respect to r and  any number of times.
+
+Here, r and  are polar coordinates. The functions H0 and H1 are Hankel functions of first kind
+
+of order 0 and 1, respectively. Karp also claimed that the terms Fl and Gl (l = 1, 2, . . . ) can
+
+be computed recursively from F0 and G0. To accomplish this, he suggested the substitution of
+
+the expansion (10) into Helmholtz equation in polar coordinates and the use of the identities:
+
+H0(z)
+
+=
+
+-H1(z)
+
+and
+
+H1(z)
+
+=
+
+H0(z)
+
+-
+
+1 z
+
+H1(z).
+
+In
+
+fact,
+
+by
+
+doing
+
+this
+
+and
+
+requiring
+
+the
+
+coefficients
+
+of
+
+H0 and H1 to vanish, we derive a recurrence formula for the coefficients Fl and Gl of the expansion
+
+(10). This result is stated in the following corollary.
+
+Corollary 1. The coefficients Fl() and Gl() (l > 1) of the expansion (10), can be determined from F0() and G0() by the recursion formulas
+
+2lGl() = (l - 1)2Fl-1() + d2Fl-1(), 2lFl() = -l2Gl-1() - d2Gl-1(),
+
+for l = 1, 2, . . .
+
+(11)
+
+for l = 1, 2, . . . .
+
+(12)
+
+As discussed in the previous section, we use the semi-analytical representation of u+sc given by (10) and the matching conditions (7)-(8), at the interface S , to obtain an approximation u  u-sc that satisfies the following bounded BVP in the region -:
+
+u + k2u = f,
+
+in -,
+
+(13)
+
+u = -uinc,
+
+on ,
+
+(14)
+
+u(R, )
+
+=
+
+H0(kR)
+
+L-1 l=0

+
+L-1 l=0
+
+Gl() (kr)l
+
+ 
+
+,
+r=R
+
+(16)
+
+where R is the radius of the circular artificial boundary S . This problem is not complete until
+enough conditions at the artificial boundary S , for the two families of unknown angular functions
+Fl and Gl of Karp's expansion, are specified. Clearly, extra conditions to determine Fl and Gl for l = 1, . . . L - 1 are provided by the recurrence formulas (11) and (12). To apply these recurrence formulas, F0 and G0 need to be known. The boundary conditions (15) and (16) may be used to determine u and F0 at the boundary S . Therefore, we are still short by another condition to determine G0 at S . Now, usc has a second order partial derivative which is continuous with respect to r at r = R. Thus, a natural condition to add at r = R, to our new bounded problem (13)-(16) supplemented with (11)-(12), is 2u-sc = 2u+sc which can be fully written in terms of u as
+
+2r u(R, )
+
+=
+
+ 2r H0(kr)
+
+L-1 l=0
+
+Fl() (kr)l

+
+L-1 l=0
+
+Gl() (kr)l
+
+ 
+
+,
+r=R
+
+(17)
+
+where the second radial derivative 2r u may also be expressed in terms of ru and 2u using the Helmholtz equation itself.
+6
+
+Summarizing, we approximate the solution of the interface problem (4)-(9) in the region - by the solution of the bounded BVP consisting of (13)-(17) and (11)-(12). The equations (15)-(17) for the double family of farfield functions Fl and Gl, supplemented by the recurrence formulas (11)-(12), constitute our novel Karp's Double Farfield Expansion (KDFEL) absorbing boundary conditions with L terms.
+
+2.2. Karp's single farfield expansion (KSFE) absorbing boundary condition in 2D
+It is possible to approximate the two-family expansion (10) with a one-family expansion by means of an asymptotic approximation for large values of kr. A similar procedure was employed in [2]. The Hankel functions H0(z) and H1(z) admit the following approximations [23, �9.2],
+
+H0(z) =
+
+eiz 
+z
+
+L-1 C0,l zl
+l=0
+
++ O(|z|-L)
+
+and
+
+H1(z) =
+
+eiz 
+z
+
+L-1 C1,l zl
+l=0
+
++ O(|z|-L)
+
+(18)
+
+valid for z  C with |arg(z)| <  as |z|  . Therefore, after multiplication of the power series of (10) with these approximations for H0(kr) and H1(kr), re-arranging terms of same powers, and neglecting the terms O(|kr|-L), we can combine the two families of angular functions Fl and Gl into one family fl. As a result, a new asymptotic series representation of the outgoing wave (19 ) is obtained. Moreover, the application of the 2D Helmholtz operator to the new asymptotic expansion
+renders a recursive formula (21) for the functions fl. Thus, in virtue of the approximation (18) and the matching at the artificial boundary S described in the previous section, we obtain a new
+absorbing boundary condition for the problem (13)-(14) given by
+
+u(R, ) =
+
+eikR 
+kR
+
+L-1 l=0
+
+fl() (kR)l
+
+(19)
+
+ru(R, ) =
+
+eikR L-1 
+kR l=0
+

+
+2il fl() =
+
+l
+
+-
+
+1 2
+
+2 fl-1() + 2 fl-1(),
+
+l  1.
+
+(21)
+
+We call the boundary condition defined by (19)-(21) with a single family of farfield functions fl the Karp's Single Farfield Expansion (KSFEL) absorbing boundary condition with L terms. As we see in the numerical results in Section 6, both the KSFEL and KDFEL render similar results as the number of terms L increases, for moderate to large values of kR. But, KSFEL exhibits a slower convergence behavior. However, we warn that (as discussed in [12]) the approximations (18) cannot be convergent for fixed |z| as L  , because the Hankel functions possess a branch cut on the negative real axis which prevents them to be expanded by any Laurent series. Thus the number L should be chosen judiciously, especially for small values of kR.
+
+2.2.1. Relationship between KSFE and BGT absorbing conditions First, we consider the relationship between the BVPs corresponding to KSFE1 and BGT1 (the
+first order ABC from [2]). More precisely, we consider u1 solving a BVP corresponding to the
+7
+
+KSFE1 condition (KSFE1-BVP):
+
+u1 + k2u1 = 0,
+
+in -,
+
+(22)
+
+u1 = -uinc,
+
+on ,
+
+(23)
+
+u1(R,
+
+)
+
+=
+
+eikR
+
+f0() (kR)1/2
+
+(24)
+
+ru1(R, ) = r
+
+eikr
+
+f0() (kr)1/2
+
+r=R
+
+=
+
+eikR
+
+f0() (kR)1/2
+
+1 ik -
+2R
+
+,
+
+(25)
+
+and U1 solving a BVP corresponding to the BGT1 condition (BGT1-BVP):
+
+U1 + k2U1 = 0,
+
+in -,
+
+(26)
+
+U1 = -uinc,
+
+on ,
+
+(27)
+
+rU1(R,
+
+)
+
++
+
+1 2R
+
+U1(R,
+
+)
+
+-
+
+ikU1(R,
+
+)
+
+=
+
+0.
+
+(28)
+
+It is clear from combining (24) and (25) that a solution u1 of (22)-(25) also satisfies the BVP (26)(28). Conversely, if U1 is a solution of (26)-(28), then by defining f0() = U1(R, )(kR)1/2e-ikR, we immediately show that U1 is a also a solution of (22)-(25). Furthermore, the BVP (26)-(28) has a unique solution as shown in [2]. As a consequence, the BVPs defined by the BGT1 and KSFE1 conditions have the same unique solution, which we state in the form of a theorem.
+
+Theorem 2. The boundary value problems (22)-(25) and (26)-(28) are equivalent and they have a unique solution.
+
+Secondly, we analyze if the BVPs corresponding to KSFE2 and BGT2 are equivalent. The KSFE2-BVP consists of finding a function u2 satisfying Helmholtz equation in -, Dirichlet
+boundary condition on , and the following absorbing boundary condition on S :
+
+u2(R, )
+
+=
+
+eikR (kR)1/2
+

+f1() kR

+
+(31)
+
+Similarly, the BGT2-BVP consists of finding a function U2 satisfying Helmholtz equation in -, Dirichlet boundary condition on , and the following absorbing boundary condition on S :
+
+rU2
+
+=
+
+(2(kR)2
+
++ 3ikR - 3/4)U2 2R(1 - ikR)
+
++
+
+2U2 ,
+
+(32)
+
+Next, we will prove the following statement about the relationship between the BVPs corresponding to KSFE2, KSFE3, and BGT2.
+
+8
+
+Theorem 3.
+a. A solution u2 of KSFE2-BVP satisfies BGT2-BVP only up to O(R-7/2) at the artificial boundary S .
+b. A solution u3 of KSFE3-BVP satisfies BGT2-BVP up to O(R-9/2) at the artificial boundary S .
+
+Proof. We will prove statement (a) by showing that when U2 is replaced by u2 in (32), then the left hand side (lhs) of (32) is equal to its right hand side (rhs) up to O(R-3/2). To obtain the expression
+for the lhs, we replace rU2 in (32) with ru2 and use (30). This leads to
+
+lhs =
+
+1 ik -
+2R
+
+f0 +
+
+3 ik -
+2R
+
+f1 kR
+
+eikR (kR)1/2
+
+.
+
+(33)
+
+On the other hand, replacing U2 by u2 defined by (29) into the rhs of (32), we obtain,
+
+rhs =
+
+1
+
+2R (1 - ikR)
+
+2(kR)2 + 3ikR - 3 4
+
+f0
+
++
+
+f1 kR
+
++
+
+f0
+
++ f1 kR
+
+eikR (kR)1/2
+
+.
+
+(34)
+
+Now, using the recurrence formula (31) in (33)-(34), we obtain,
+
+(1
+
+- ikR) (lhs
+
+- rhs)
+
+=
+
+ikeikR (kR)5/2

++
+

+
+.
+
+(35)
+
+Hence, division by (1 - ikR) renders the statement (a).
+A similar procedure leads to the proof of statement (b). First, we consider BVP defining the
+absorbing condition KSFE3 which consists of finding a function u3 satisfying Helmholtz equation in -, Dirichlet boundary condition on , and the following absorbing boundary condition on S :
+
+u3(R, )
+
+=
+
+eikR (kR)1/2
+
+f0() +
+
+f1() kR

+

+
+f1()
+
++
+
+f1
+
+().
+
+(39)
+
+When replacing U3 with u3, then lhs of (32) becomes equal to
+
+lhs
+
+=
+
+eikR (kR)1/2
+
+1 ik -
+2R

+
+5 ik -

+
+f2() (kR)2
+
+.
+
+(40)
+
+Similarly, substituting u3 into the rhs of (32) leads to
+
+2R(1 - ikR) rhs = 2(kR)2 + 3ikR - 3/4

+

+
+f1 kR
+
++
+
+f2 (kR)2
+
++ f0
+
++ f1 + f2 . kR (kR)2
+
+(41)
+
+Then, using the recurrence formulas (38)-(39), we obtain that (1 - ikR) (lhs - rhs) = O(R-7/2).
+Finally, the statement (b) is proved by dividing both sides by (1 - ikR). 9
+
+It was shown in [2] that a solution U2 of the BGT2-BVP approximates the exact solution of (1)-(3) to O(R-9/2) when R  . From our previous results, we conclude that BGT2-BVP and KSFE2-BVP are not equivalent. Since a solution of KSFE2-BVP satisfies BGT2 to O(R-7/2), a
+solution of KSFE2-BVP will be a poorer approximation to the exact solution than U2. However, the solution of KSFE3-BVP satisfies BGT2 to O(R-9/2) also. It means that the solutions of BGT2-
+BVP and KSFE3-BVP approximate the exact solution at a comparable rate. This behavior is
+confirmed in our numerical experiments in Section 6.
+
+2.3. Wilcox's farfield expansion absorbing boundary condition in 3D
+For the 3D case ( = 3), we also use a representation of outgoing waves by an infinite series in powers of 1/kr. This representation is provided by a well-known theorem due to Atkinson and Wilcox, which is stated here for completeness.
+
+Theorem 4 (Atkinson-Wilcox [13]). Let u+sc be an outgoing solution of the three-dimensional Helmholtz equation in the exterior region to a sphere of radius r = R. Then, u+sc can be represented by a convergent expansion
+
+u+sc(r, , ) =
+
+eikr kr
+
+ l=0
+
+Fl(, ) (kr)l
+
+for r > R.
+
+(42)
+
+This series is uniformly and absolutely convergent for r > R, , and . It can be differentiated term by term with respect to r, , and  any number of times and the resulting series all converge absolutely and uniformly. Moreover the coefficients Fl (l  1) can be determined by the recursion formula,
+
+2ilFl(, ) = l(l - 1)Fl-1(, ) + SFl-1(, ), l  1.
+
+(43)
+
+Here, r, , and  are spherical coordinates and S is the Laplace-Beltrami operator in the angular coordinates  and . See [2].
+Following an analogous procedure to the one employed in Section 2.1 for the 2D case, we use a truncated version of the series (42) defined in + to match the solution in - through the interface conditions (7)-(8). This yields an approximation u  u-sc that is defined to be the solution of the following BVP in the region -:
+
+u + k2u = 0,
+
+in -,
+
+(44)
+
+u = -uinc,
+
+on ,

+(45)

+
+Fl(, ) , (kR)l
+
+(47)
+
+2ilFl(, ) = l(l - 1)Fl-1(, ) + SFl-1(, ), l  1.
+
+(48)
+
+The equations (46)-(48) form the absorbing boundary condition with L terms which we call Wilcox
+farfield expansion absorbing boundary condition and denote WFEL. We also denote the BVP 10
+
+(44)-(48) as WFEL-BVP. Contrary to the 2D case, there is only one family of unknown angular functions Fl in this case. Hence, we only need the interface conditions (7)-(8) plus the recurrence formula (43) to define the new farfield expansion ABC at the artificial boundary S .
+The WFE-BVP (44)-(48) can also be posed in weak form which is essential for the finite element methods. First we define the following (affine) spaces to deal with the Dirichlet boundary conditions (45),
+

+
+3. Numerical method
+We start this section describing how to obtain a numerical approximation of the solution for the acoustic scattering of a plane wave from a circular shaped obstacle of radius r = r0 using Karp farfield expansions as ABC. As discussed in previous sections, our approach consists of numerically solving the KDFEL-BVP defined by (13)-(14) with the ABC given by (15)-(17) supplemented by the recurrence formulas (11)-(12). For this particular circular scatterer, polar coordinates (r, ) is the natural choice of coordinate system. However, we will extend the discussion to more general obstacle shapes in generalized curvilinear coordinates in the next section. The numerical method chosen is based on a centered second order finite difference. The number of grid points in the radial direction is N and in the angular direction is m + 1. Therefore, the step sizes in the radial and angular directions are r = (R - r0)/(N - 1) and  = 2/m, respectively. Also, ri = (i - 1)r,  j = ( j - 1) and ui, j = u(ri,  j), where i = 1, . . . N and j = 1, . . . , m + 1. Since the pairs (ri, 1) and (ri, m+1) represent the same physical point, ui,1 = ui,m+1, for i = 1, . . . N. The discretization of the governing equations varies according to the location of the grid points. The areas of interest within the numerical domain and its boundaries are: the obstacle boundary , the interior of the domain -, and the artificial boundary S .
+At the obstacle boundary u = -uinc holds. Then, we start constructing the corresponding linear system AU = b by simply including the negative value of uinc at each boundary grid point in the
+11
+
+forcing vector b, and let the corresponding entry in the coefficient matrix A equal unity. This
+results in an identity matrix of size m � m in the upper left-hand corner of the matrix A. At the interior points (ri,  j) (i = 2, . . . N - 2, j = 1, . . . m) in -, we discretize Helmholtz

+The above discrete equations are written as a linear system of equations AU = b. The matrix A structure depends on how the unknown vector U is ordered. We chose U as follows:

+

+
+(60)
+
+From the previous discrete equations (52)-(60), (56)-(59), it can be seen that the matrix A has dimension (N-1+2L)m�(N-1+2L)m. Furthermore, adding the m non-zero entries corresponding to the upper left-hand corner subdiagonal matrix of A to the non-zero entries of the discrete equations (52)-(60) and (56)-(59), it can be shown that the non-zero entries of A are nz = (5N -16)m+18Lm.
+A completely analogous work can be performed for the discretization of KSFE-BVPs. However, the BVP defined by (13)-(14) with the KSFEL condition (19)-(21) has only one family of
+13
+
+unknown farfield angular coefficients fl() (l = 0, . . . L - 1). As a consequence, the matrix A corresponding to its discrete equations has dimension (N - 1 + L)m � (N - 1 + L)m. Moreover, it can be shown that its number of non-zero entries is nz = (5N - 13)m + 8Lm. For purpose of comparison, we also consider the discretization of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann boundary value problem (DtN-BVP) derived by Keller and Givoli [6]. For this BVP the matrix A, obtained by employing a second order centered finite difference method, has dimension Nm � Nm and its non-zero entries are nz = (5N - 8)m + m2. A relevant feature of the matrices A for the KDFE-BVP and KSFEBVP is that they do not have full blocks as found in the case of DtN-BVP. In fact, the number of non-zero entries for the DtN-BVP matrix is O(m2) against O(Lm) for the KDFE-BVP and KSFEBVP matrices, respectively. Now, the number L of terms in the farfield expansion is always much smaller than m (nodes in the angular direction). As a consequence, the non-zeros of the matrices associated to the KDFE and KSFE boundary value problems are considerable less than those of the matrix corresponding to the DtN-BVP for the same problem. This is a key property for the computational efficiency of the numerical technique proposed in this work. Furthermore, this is why higher order local ABCs are preferred over global exact ABCs such as DtN.
+4. Applications of farfield ABCs
+4.1. Scattering from a circular obstacle
+To illustrate the computational advantage of the exact farfield expansions ABCs over the DtNABC, we consider the acoustic scattering of a plane wave propagating along the positive x-axis from a circular obstacle of radius r0 = 1. We place the artificial boundary at R = 2 and select a frequency k = 2 for the incident wave. Then, we apply the centered finite difference scheme described in Section 3 for the KDFE-BVP. For purpose of comparison, we also apply it with its respective modifications to KSFE-BVP and DtN-BVP. The points per wavelength in each case is PPW = 20. The number of terms employed for KDFEL is L = 3 and for the KSFEL is L = 8. These choices of L made possible that the three numerical solutions approximate the exact solution at the artificial boundary with about the same relative error of 3.8 � 10-3 in the L2-norm. In Fig. 1, the structure of their respective matrices are depicted. Although the matrix corresponding to the DtN-ABC has the smallest dimension, it has more than one and a half times as many non-zero entries as the farfield expansions ABCs. As the number of point per wavelength increases, this difference is even bigger since the number of points for the DtN-ABC is O(m2) while for the farfield ABCs is only O(Lm).
+It is timely to comment on the numerical difficulties that can be faced when solving threedimensional problems modeled by the farfield ABCs. Using our finite difference technique will lead to sparse but very large matrices at the discrete level. Therefore, a direct solver may not be a feasible choice as the mesh is refined. Iterative methods become an imperative choice. Among such methods are Krylov subspace iterative methods, multigrid and domain decomposition methods. However, their applications to the resulting sparse matrices experience difficulties because these matrices are known to be non-Hermitian and poorly conditioned. Efforts have been made to develop good preconditioners and parallelizable methods tailored to these wave scattering problems modeled by the Helmholtz equation [24, 25]. We intend to explore some of these new tech-

+
+4.2. Scattering from a spherical obstacle. Axisymmetric case
+In this section, we formulate the BVP corresponding to scattering from a spherical obstacle of an incident plane wave uinc = eikz propagating along the positive z-axis. The mathematical model including our novel Wilcox farfield ABC (WFE-ABC) consists of the BVP (44)-(48) in spherical coordinates (r, , ). This problem is axisymmetric about the z-axis. Therefore, the governing Helmholtz equation for the approximation u of the scattered field usc is independent of the angle . As a consequence, it reduces to

+
+Obviously, this equation is singular at the poles when  = 0, . However, there is not such sin-
+
+gularity at these angular values for Helmholtz equation in cartesian coordinates. The singularity
+
+arises by the introduction of spherical coordinates. It can be shown [26] that equation (61) reduces

+
+The angular coefficients Fl of the Wilcox farfield expansion are
+
+also independent of . As in the two-dimensional case, we employ a second order centered finite
+
+difference scheme as our numerical method to obtain the approximate solution to this scattering
+
+problem. Due to the analogy between the KSFE and the WFE absorbing boundary conditions for
+
+this axisymmetric case, the discretization of the equations and the structure of the matrix obtained
+
+after applying a centered finite difference approximation to the equations defining this BVP are
+
+similar to those of KSFE-BVP. In Section 6.3, numerical results for this problem are presented.

+
+4.3. Radiation and scattering from complexly shaped obstacles in two-dimensions
+Since most real applications deal with obstacle of arbitrary shape, in this section, we consider scattering problems for arbitrary shaped scatterers using the farfield absorbing boundary conditions. In order to do this, we introduce generalized curvilinear coordinates such that the physical scatterer boundaries correspond to coordinate lines. These type of coordinates, called boundary conforming coordinates [27], are generated by invertible transformations T : D  D, from a rectangular computational domain D with coordinates (, ) to the physical domain D with coordinates (x, y) = (x(, ), y(, )). A common practice in elliptic grid generation is to implicitly define the transformation T as the numerical solution to a Dirichlet boundary value problem governed by a system of quasi-linear elliptic equations for the physical coordinates x and y. Following this approach, the authors Acosta and Villamizar [22] introduced the elliptic-polar grids as the solution to the following quasi-linear elliptic system of equations:

+The symbols , , and , represent the scale metric factors of the coordinates transformation T , respectively. These are defined as
+
+ = x2 + y2,
+
+ = x x + yy,
+
+ = x2 + y2.
+
+In this work, we adopt the elliptic-polar coordinates in the presence of complexly shaped obstacles. Before we attempt a numerical solution to our BVP with the farfield expansions ABCs in these coordinates, we express the governing equations in terms of them. For instance, the two-dimensional Helmholtz equation transforms into
+
+1 J2
+
+u - 2u + u +
+
+1 2
+
+ u +  u
+
++ k2u = 0,
+
+(64)
+
+where the symbol J corresponds to the jacobian of the transformation T . Once the farfield expansions ABC equations are also expressed in terms of elliptic-polar coordinates, we transform all of these continuous equations into discrete ones using centered second order finite difference schemes. This process is described in detail in [22]. Then, the corresponding linear system is derived in much the same way as we did above for polar coordinates. Numerical results for several complexly shaped obstacles are discussed in Section 6.
+
+5. Farfield Pattern definition and its accurate numerical computation
+In scattering problems, an important property to be determined is the scattered field far from the obstacles. The geometry and physical properties of the scatterers are closely related to it. In Section 4.2.1 of [28], Martin defines the farfield pattern (FFP) as the angular function present in
+
+16
+
+the dominant term of the asymptotic expansions for the scattered wave when r  . For instance in 2D, the farfield pattern is the coefficient f0() of KSFE,
+
+u(r, )
+
+=
+
+eikr (kr)1/2
+
+f0()
+
++
+
+O
+
+1/(kr)3/2
+
+.
+
+(65)
+
+Following Bruno and Hyde [29], we now describe how the FFP can be efficiently calculated from the approximation of the scattered wave at the artificial boundary.
+If r > R, where R is the radius of the artificial circular boundary enclosing the obstacle, then, the scattered wave can be represented as the following complex Fourier series,
+
+
+
+
+
+u(r, ) =
+
+cq(r)eiq =
+
+bq Hq(1) (kr)eiq ,
+
+q=-
+
+q=-
+
+where
+
+bq
+
+=
+
+cq(r) . Hq(1)(kr)
+
+(66)
+
+Using the asymptotic expansion of the Hankel function Hq(1)(kr) when r  , equation (66) transforms into
+
+u(r, )
+
+=
+
+eikr (kr)1/2
+
+ 
+
+2 
+
+e-i/4
+
+ q=-
+
+ bq(-i)qeiq
+
++
+
+O
+
+1/(kr)3/2
+
+.
+
+(67)
+
+By comparing (67) with (65) the following expression for f0() is derived
+
+f0() =
+
+2 
+
+e-i/4
+
+
+
+bq(-i)qeiq.
+
+q=-
+
+(68)
+
+Thus, the FFP can be determined once the coefficients bq have been calculated. But as pointed out above, the coefficients bq can be determined from the coefficients cq(r) for r fixed. Likewise, approximated values of cq(R) can be obtained from the scattered field approximation at the artificial boundary r = R, i.e., uN, j for j = 1, . . . m. In fact as stated by Kress [30], approximations c^q to the coefficients cq(R), at the fictitious infinite boundary can be obtained by considering the discrete Fourier transform vector c^q (q = -m/2, . . . m/2 - 1) of the vector uN, j, interpolating the
+points  j, uN, j for j = 1, . . . m (m even). More precisely,
+
+c^q
+
+=
+
+1 m
+
+m-1 j=1
+
+uN, je-iq j ,
+
+for q = -m/2, . . . m/2 - 1.
+
+(69)
+
+These finite series can be directly evaluated, or a FFT algorithm can be used to compute them. The importance of the above derivation is that a semi-analytical formula
+
+f0() =
+
+2 
+
+e-i/4
+
+m/2-1
+
+b^ q(-i)qeiq ,
+
+q=-m/2
+
+(70)
+
+approximating the FFP for arbitrary shaped obstacles, can be obtained from the numerical approximation of the scattered far field, where b^q = c^q/Hq(1)(kR). This formula is extremely accurate as
+shown in [29]. The error in the approximation of f0() using (70) depends almost entirely upon the error made in the approximation of the coefficients b^q.

+6. Numerical Results
+
+In this Section, we present numerical evidences of the advantages of using the exact farfield expansions ABCs, when dealing with acoustic scattering and radiating problems, compared with other commonly used ABCs. First, we numerically solve bounded problems with farfield expansions ABCs as defined in Sections 2.1-2.3. Then, we show that these numerical solutions indeed converge to the exact solutions of the original unbounded BVPs. As described in Section 3, the numerical method employed consists of familiar second order centered finite difference discretizations for Helmholtz equation in polar, spherical, and generalized curvilinear coordinates. This numerical method is completed with the discrete equations of the farfield expansions ABCs on the artificial boundary S . Our numerical results contain two sources of error. The first one is the error introduced by the finite difference scheme employed to discretize the Helmholtz equation in the computational domain -. This error can be diminished by refining the finite difference mesh as we increase the number of points per wavelength. The second source of error is due to the truncation of the farfield expansion series. This error can be diminished by increasing the number L of terms in the absorbing conditions KSFEL, KDFEL, or WFEL. For example, if a finite difference scheme for a two-dimensional problem in polar coordinates leads to a second order convergence, then the order of the total error introduced by combining the finite difference scheme with the proposed absorbing boundary conditions is given by
+
+error = O h2 + O (kR)-L ,
+
+(71)
+
+where h = r0 = r is the mesh refinement parameter and L is the number of terms in the farfield expansions absorbing boundary conditions. Then for the total error to exhibit second order convergence with mesh refinement, it is necessary to choose L = O log(1/h) . Therefore, there is no need of large increments of L to improve the order of convergence. In practice, we can expect that a moderately large (but fixed) choice of L will be sufficient to reveal the order of convergence of the finite difference method for a reasonable range of mesh refinements. We construct our numerical experiments, reported later in this section, according to this fact.
+First, we present numerical results for the scattering of a plane wave uinc = eikx from a circular obstacle in 2D. As a reference point, we also display the results from the use of the DtN nonreflecting condition [6, 31, 8, 32]. Since this latter condition is considered exact, it serves as a reference point to gauge the error introduced by the finite difference scheme alone. For all ABCs, we use a second order centered finite difference scheme in the interior of the domain -. In our experiments for the circular scatterer, we are able to obtain second order convergence of the numerical solution to the exact solution. In fact, we found that the numerical solution obtained from KDFEL and KSFEL, for appropriate number of terms L, are comparable to the approximation obtained from the DtN absorbing boundary condition. However, the advantage over the DtN-ABC formulation is that the farfield expansions ABCs are local while the former is not.
+Secondly, we numerically solve the scattering from complexly shaped scatterers, using the exact farfield expansions ABCs. As a result, the farfield patterns (FFP) for several obstacles of arbitrary shape are obtained. Then we present our results, with the new ABCs, for an exterior radiating problem obtained from two sources conveniently located inside a domain bounded by
+18
+
+complexly shaped curves. For these specials radiating problems, it is possible to obtain analytical solutions. Then, by comparing the numerical approximations and the exact solutions, we determine the order of convergence for several non-separable geometries, as we do in the circular case.
+Finally, results for a spherical scatterer are presented. The numerical method is analogous to the one employed in the two-dimensional case for the KDFEL-BVP: a centered finite difference of second order in - and WFE-ABC on the artificial boundary. Again, a second order convergence is reached by using few terms in the WFE farfield expansions.
+6.1. Scattering from a circular obstacle. Comparison against exact solution and order of convergence
+First, we point out that approximated solutions of the scattering problem obtained for the BVP corresponding to KSFE1 are identical to the numerical solutions obtained for the BVP corresponding to BGT1. This is a numerical evidence of the equivalence between these two problems, as proved in Theorem 2.
+Another important result is the convergence of the numerical solutions of KDFEL and KSFEL boundary value problems to the exact solution as the number L of terms in the farfield expansion is increased for a sufficiently small h. In particular, this is shown in Fig. 2. However, the KSFEL numerical solutions only converge asymptotically as kR   when L is fixed. Indeed when kR is fixed, e.g. kR = /2, and L grows then the numerical solution unavoidably diverges as explained at the end of subsection 2.2. This fact is also discussed in more detail in the Conclusions Section 7. Actually, Fig. 2 (left panel) shows the appearance of unphysical oscillations in the farfield pattern for KSFE9 which become larger as L increases.

+Figure 2: Convergence of solutions of KSFEL- and KDFEL-BVPs (h fixed and L increasing) to the exact solution of scattering of a plane wave from a circular scatterer of radius r0 = 1 along the artificial boundary with radius R = 1.05.
+
+The relevant data used in these problems is the following: wavenumber k = 2, radius of
+the circular obstacle is r0 = 1, and radius of artificial boundary R = 1.05. We define the grid 19
+
+such that the number of points per wavelength in all experiments is PPW = 30 in the angular direction and N = 21 points in the radial direction. This is an extreme problem where the artificial boundary radius has been chosen almost equal to the radius of the circular scatterer. So, the
+domain of computation is very small. Even in this extreme situation, it is observed how well
+the numerical solution of KDFE7-BVP approximates the exact solution at the artificial boundary with a L2-norm relative error equal to 3.44 � 10-4 with only seven terms in the farfield expansion. Similarly, the numerical solution of KSFE11-BVP at the artificial boundary also approximates the exact solution with a L2-norm relative error equal to 3.73�10-4 with eleven terms in the expansion. This illustrates the slower convergence of the numerical solutions of KSFEL-BVP when compared with the sequence of solutions obtained from KDFEL-BVP.

+Figure 3: Comparison of L2-norm relative error of the Farfield Pattern among DtN, BGT2, KSFEL, and KDFEL for L = 2, 4, 8, 10. The data in use is r0 = 1, R = 2, and k = 2.
+
+In our next set of numerical experiments, we analyze the performance of the second order finite difference method for the scattering from a circular scatterer using the following ABC: BGT2, DtN, KSFEL, and KDFEL (L = 2, 4, 8, 10). By comparing the numerical farfield pattern (FFP)
+20
+
+with the one obtained from the exact solution, we obtain the L2-norm relative error. The formula employed to compute the FFP, for all types of ABCs from the numerical solution of the scattered field at the artificial boundary, is the formula (70) described in Section 3. The results of these experiments are illustrated in Fig. 3. The common data in these numerical simulations is the following: frequency k = 2, radius of the circular obstacle is r0 = 1, and radius of artificial boundary R = 2. In all our experiments, the error reported is the L2-norm relative error. The grid is systematically refined, as L is kept fixed, to discover the rate of convergence. For L = 2 (top left corner subgraph), it is observed that the rate of convergence for three of the four types of ABC is close to zero, while the approximation to the exact solution of the numerical solution corresponding to DtN improves as the grid is refined. The subgraph at the top right corner reveals that the numerical solution of KDFE4-BVP has almost the same rate of convergence than the one corresponding to DtN-BVP. From the subgraph in the lower row left corner, we conclude that the numerical solution of KSFE8-BVP also converges at almost the same rate as the one for KDFE4 and DtN boundary value problems. Finally for ten terms in both farfield expansions, the rate of convergence for the ABC: KSFE, KDFE, and DtN is basically the same.
+The previous discussion illustrated in Fig. 3 is appropriately summarized by a single graph depicted in Fig. 4. This figure clearly shows the second order convergence of the three methods using: DtN, KDFEL (L  5) and KSFEL, (L  9) while BGT2-BVP order of convergence is around 3.8 � 10-1. The set of grids employed to obtain Fig. 4 consist of PPW = 30, 40, 50, 60, and 70, respectively. As a particular case of the quadratic convergence of KDFEL-BVP (L  5), we show the convergence of the numerical solution of KDFE5-BVP in Table 1. The grids are ordered from less to more refine. Furthermore, Fig. 5 shows the line obtained from the least squares approximation of the orders between progressively finer grids. The slope of this line is 1.99948, which confirms the quadratic order of convergence for the numerical solution of KFDE5-BVP using the technique proposed in this work.

+We observe that the numerical solution of KSFE-BVP also exhibits a second order convergence to the exact solution, although it requires more terms than the solution of KDFE-BVP to converge at the same rate. In fact as shown in Fig. 4, nine terms or more are required in the farfield expansion of KSFE-ABC to reach second order convergence while only four or more terms are required in the farfield expansion of KDFE-ABC. Moreover, these numerical experiments provide numerical evidence of the non-equivalence between KSFE2-ABC and BGT2 as established in Theorem 3.

As pointed out above, the accuracy of the overall numerical method is limited by the accuracy of the numerical method employed in the interior of the domain for relatively small number of terms, L, of the farfield ABCs.

+
+of this fact to numerically solve more realistic scattering problems. In fact, we find numerical solutions for acoustic scattering problems from obstacles with complexly shaped bounding curves such as a star, epicycloid, and astroid. We choose as the artificial boundary a circle of radius R = 3 and the frequency k = 2. As described in Section 4.3, the differential equations defining
+23
+
+these BVPs are written in terms of generalized curvilinear coordinates that Acosta and Villamizar derived in [22]. The corresponding grids for these curvilinear coordinates were obtained from an elliptic grid generator and they were named elliptic-polar grids. Following the circular scatterer case, we use a second order centered finite difference method as our numerical technique for the interior points. A detailed account of the discretized equations in curvilinear coordinates are also found at [22]. We employ KSFE5 as our farfield expansion combined with PPW =50 (points per wavelength). The results are illustrated in Fig. 6 where the total field and its corresponding FFP are shown for each one of these obstacles. The parametric equations of these bounding curves are given by
+Star: x() = 0.2(4 + cos(5)) cos() y() = 0.2(4 + cos(5)) sin(), 0    2. (72)

+y() = ((5 sin(-( + 5/4)) - sin(-5( + 5/4))) sin(/4) - (5 cos(-( + 5/4)) - cos(-5( + 5/4))) cos(/4))1/6,

+
+For the experiments corresponding to the graphs shown in Fig. 6, using relatively fine grids with PPW = 50, we did not find significant changes in the numerical solution by increasing the number of terms in the KSFEL condition up to L = 12 terms.
+Next, we discuss the numerical results for radiating problems defined in the exterior region  bounded internally by an arbitrary simple closed curve . These BVPs consist of Helmholtz equation, Sommerfeldt radiation condition, and a Dirichlet condition on the complexly shaped bounding curve . By imposing an appropriate boundary condition on , we can easily prescribe a solution for each one of these BVPs. In fact, consider the function u defined in the exterior region  from the superposition of two sources which are located inside the closed region bounded by . More precisely, u is given in terms of Hankel functions of first kind of order zero as
+
+u(x) = H0(1)(kr1(x)) + H0(1)(kr2(x)),
+
+x
+
+(75)
+
+where r1 = |x - x1|, and r2 = |x - x2| with x1 and x2 inside the region bounded by . Clearly, the function u satisfies Helmholtz equation in  since H0(1)(kri) does for i = 1, 2. It also satisfies the Sommerfeld radiation condition. Thus if we also impose the values of u at the boundary  (superposition of the two sources) as the boundary condition on , the function u defined by (75) satisfies the radiating problem just defined, regardless of the shape of the bounding curve .
+Starting with the previously superimposed boundary condition on the bounding curve , it is
+possible to obtain a numerical solution. First, we transform the unbounded radiating problem into 24
+
+a bounded one by introducing the KDFE-ABC or KSFE-ABC on a circular artificial boundary (r = R). Then, we apply the proposed numerical technique in generalized curvilinear coordinates in the region -, bounded internally by  and externally by the circle of radius R to obtain the
+numerical solution sought.

We show that these numerical solutions indeed converge to the exact prescribed solution (75) of the original radiating BVP. This is illustrated in Fig. 7 where the known radiating field from the two sources is numerically approximated in three different regions - which are internally bounded by three different curves. They are a circle of radius r0 = 1, the epicycloid boundary curve defined in (73), and the star curve defined in (72). The relative L2-norm error between the FFP of the prescribed solution and the approximated solution is computed for each different grid. Then, the order of convergence is estimated based on these errors. As seen in Fig. 7, we are able to prove quadratic convergence for the circle and for the star bounding curves. However, for the epicycloid we can only get 1.5 as order of convergence for the same set of grid points and number of terms in the farfield expansion L. This is due to the difficulty of generating conforming smooth grids in the neighborhood of the epicycloid singularities.

+
+26
+
+In Fig. 8, cross-sections of the total field for an arbitrary angle  are depicted. The middle graphs corresponds to the approximation of the farfield pattern of this scattering problem. These graphs were extended to the interval [0, 2] by taking the mirror image of the solution in [0, ]. Finally, the rightmost graphs show the second order convergence of the numerical solution to the exact solution when Wilcox farfield expansions ABC are employed. The data employed to generate the graphs in the top row of Fig. 8 is: k = 2, R = 3, terms in WFEL, L = 8, and set of grid points used to achieve the second order convergence, PPW = 25, 30, 35, 40, 45. Similarly, the bottom row graphs were obtained using: k = 4, R = 3, terms in WFEL, L = 8, and set of grid points used to achieve the second order convergence, PPW = 30, 35, 40, 45, 50.
+These results reveals the high accuracy that can be achieved using the exact Wilcox farfield expansions in the 3D case. As we showed in the 2D case, the accuracy of the numerical solutions depends only on the order of approximation of the numerical method employed in the interior of - when enough terms in the exact farfield expansions ABCs are used.
+
+7. Concluding remarks
+We have derived exact local ABCs for acoustic waves in two-dimensions (KDFE), and in three-dimensions (WFE). We have constructed them directly from Karp's and Atkinson-Wilcox's farfield expansions, respectively. A previous attempt by Zarmi and Turkel [11] to derive a high order local ABC from Karp's expansion was partially successful. However, they were able to obtain other high order local conditions using an annihilating technique more general than the procedure used to obtain HH-ABC.

+
+Some of the attributes of the novel farfield ABCs have been highlighted in various sections of this article. Among the most relevant attributes we find the exact character of these absorbing conditions according to [1]. This means the error between the solutions of KDFEL-BVP and WFEL-BVP, and the solutions of their corresponding original unbounded problems approaches zero when L   and the radius R of the artificial boundary is held fixed. Although, it is not possible to prove this exact property merely from numerical experiments, it is still possible to determine this behavior for moderately large values of L. A discussion on this convergence properties follows in the next paragraphs.
+27
+
+As we pointed out earlier, possibly the most well-known higher order local absorbing boundary condition in two-dimensions is due to Hagstrom and Hariharan [9] which we denote as HH-ABC. The advantage of KDFE sequence of ABCs over the HH counterpart is that the former leads to convergence of the numerical approximation to the exact solution for a fixed value of R, while the HH-ABC only converges asymptotically as R increases. In addition to KDFE and WFE farfield ABCs, we also derived KSFE in Section 2.2, which is a farfield expansion obtained from a classical asymptotic expansion of Karp's series. This asymptotic expansion is the same employed in the derivation of the BGT and HH absorbing conditions in two-dimensions.
+In Fig. 9 the convergence properties of the numerical FFP obtained form KSFE-BVP and KDFE-BVP are compared. The physical problem is the same scattering problem studied in Section 6.1 and illustrated in Fig. 2. However, instead of describing the approximation of the outgoing wave at the artificial boundary, we describe the approximation of the farfield pattern for different values of kR which are obtained for a fixed R = 1.05 combined with appropriate values of k.
+Notice that the convergence of the solutions of KSFEL-BVP is conditioned by the value of the frequency k and radius R of the artificial boundary. More precisely, for kR = /2 and kR = , the FFP approximation of KSFEL-BVP begins to diverge from the exact FFP for L  4 and L  7, respectively. However for kR = 2, the FFP of KSFEL-BVP converges to the exact FFP when L increases, for 1  L  15. Furthermore, this approximation is as good as the one obtained using the exact DtN boundary condition for 10  L  15. However, as we continue increasing the number of terms L, the solutions of KSFEL-BVP will eventually diverge. This behavior parallels the one established by a rigorous proof given by Schmidt and Heier [33] for the convergence properties of the solution obtained using Feng's absorbing boundary conditions. Feng's condition arises from an asymptotic expansion of the exact DtN boundary condition for large R.
+In practical terms, the use of KSFE-ABC is advisable only if the product kR is large enough which is also applicable to any absorbing condition obtained from an asymptotic expansion of series representation of the outgoing waves. The application of KSFEL is still useful in many physical problems where kR is sufficiently large since it takes only a few terms to reach the same order of convergence than the one obtained from DtN-ABC. On the other hand, the exact character of KDFE-BVP is clearly shown in Fig. 9. In fact, it only takes four terms of Karp's expansion (L = 4) to reach the same level of convergence of the solution of the DtN-BVP when kr = /2. This level is maintained until L = 15. Similar behavior is observed for the other two values of the product kR. In all these experiments R = 1.05 and the frequency k was chosen according to the desired value of kR. We also employed the same grid in all these experiments.
+A non-asymptotic version of BGT2 can be obtained by constructing a second order operator that annihilates the terms of O (1) in Karp's expansion. This was the approach followed by Grote and Keller [8] to obtain the second order differential operator,
+
+L0u = ru - k
+
+H0(kr) u - H0(kr)
+
+H0(kr) - H1(kr) H0(kr) H1(kr)
+
+2 u
+
+(76)
+
+An alternative derivation of (76) was given by Li and Cendes [5] by requiring that the first two terms of the exact solution of normal modes of Helmholtz equation in cylindrical coordinates were annihilated. All these authors and more recently Turkel, Farhat, and Hetmaniuk [34] used the differential operator (76) at the artificial boundary as an ABC for the scattering of a plane
+28
+
+wave from a circular obstacle. They noticed the superior accuracy of the solution obtained with this condition compared with the one obtained from the absorbing boundary conditions BGTL (for L = 1, 2), for low values of the frequency k. In particular, Turkel et al. [34] showed that for a frequency k = 0.01 and radius R = 5 (artificial boundary) the L2-norm relative error at the artificial boundary is about 50 times better using (76) over BGT2. These results can be considered as a low order version of the results illustrated in Fig. 9 for the high order local KSFE and KDFE absorbing boundary conditions. Zarmi and Turkel [11] also arrived to the same conclusion by comparing their higher order version of Li and Cendes' operator in 2D with the higher order versions of HH operators obtained from the asymptotic Karp's expansion.
+We would like to highlight two other valuable attributes of the farfield ABCs. First, the farfield pattern is the coefficient of the leading term of the farfield expansion. This leading coefficient (angular function) is one of the unknowns of the linear system to be solved to obtain the approximation of the exact solution. So, there is no additional computation afterward to obtain the FFP. In most of our experiments, we decided to use the FFP approximation formula obtained in Section 5 for comparison purposes. Secondly, by increasing the parameter L (number of terms in the expansion), the error introduced by KDFEL and WFEL can easily be reduced and made negligible compared with the error from the numerical method in the interior domain -.
+There are numerous directions in which the application of farfield ABCs can be extended. Some of those on which we are currently working or plan to work are the following:
+a. The combined formulation of high order finite difference (or finite element), for the discretization of the Helmholtz equation in -, with the novel exact local farfield ABCs. This will show the high accuracy that can be achieved by simply increasing the number of terms in the ABCs expansion, using relatively coarse grids. For this purpose, we plan to explore several high order compact finite difference schemes that have been recently developed [35, 36] and others well-established found in [37].
+b. The extension of the formulation of our ABC to the wave equation (time-domain). This extension is clearly feasible in 3D since the time-domain analogue of the Wilcox expansion is available [38, 39] due to the Fourier duality between t and ik, and between eikr and time shift. This is also valid for the KSFE-ABC in 2D. However, for the KDFE absorbing condition in 2D, Karp's expansion has no closed-form transformation to the time domain due to the complexity of the terms H0(kr) and H1(kr). Such a transformation would lead to nonlocal operators in the time variable similar to the ones discussed in [40].
+c. Construction of exact local farfield ABCs for multiple scattering of time-harmonic waves. The farfield expansions of Wilcox and Karp allow the evaluation of the scattered field semianalytically at any point outside the artificial boundary. This property is fundamental in the multiple scattering setting for the introduction of artificial sub-boundaries enclosing obstacles disjointly a` la Grote-Kirsch [41].

+Abstract
+We consider the problems of compressed sensing and optimal denoising for signals x0  RN that are monotone, i.e., x0(i + 1)  x0(i), and sparsely varying, i.e., x0(i + 1) > x0(i) only for a small number k of indices i. We approach the compressed sensing problem by minimizing the total variation norm restricted to the class of monotone signals subject to equality constraints obtained from a number of measurements Ax0. For random Gaussian sensing matrices A  Rm�N we derive a closed form expression for the number of measurements m required for successful reconstruction with high probability. We show that the probability undergoes a phase transition as m varies, and depends not only on the number of change points, but also on their location. For denoising we regularize with the same norm and derive a formula for the optimal regularizer weight that depends only mildly on x0. We obtain our results using the statistical dimension tool.
+
+1 Introduction
+
+We consider N -dimensional signals x0 that are sparse in a certain basis. We are interested in the following problems
+
+min f (x), subject to Ax = Ax0,
+
+x
+
+and
+
+min

+
+(CS) (DN)
+
+with y = x0 +  and   N (0, 2IN ). Here f : RN  R  {} is a convex function that characterizes the structure of x0. For the compressed sensing problem (CS) we are interested in
+deriving the minimum number of measurements m such that the solution of (CS) coincides with x0 with high probability for standard normal i.i.d. sensing matrices A  Rm�N . For the denoising
+problem (DN) we are interested in calculating the minimax risk, i.e., the optimal value of (DN) minimized over  for the worst case of noise power 2. The two quantities are closely related due
+to some recent results reviewed briefly next.

+
+Definition 2.1 (Descent cones). The descent cone of a convex function f : RN  R at a point x  RN is defined as the set of all non-increasing directions, i.e.,
+D(f, x) = {y  RN : f (x +  y)  f (x)}.
+ >0
+
+Definition 2.2 (Statistical dimension (Amelunxen et al., 2014)). The statistical dimension (SD) of a convex closed cone C  RN is defined as
+(C) = EgN (0,IN ) C (g) 2,
+where g is a standard Gaussian vector, and C is the projection onto C.
+
+In a groundbreaking work, Amelunxen et al. (2014) shows that the SD of the descent cone at the true point x0, coincides with the phase transition curve (PTC) of the CS problem.
+
+Theorem 2.3 (Phase transitions (Amelunxen et al., 2014)). For an i.i.d. standard random Gaussian matrix A  Rm�N the convex problem (CS) succeeds with probability at least 1 - exp(-t2/4)
+
+if
+
+
+
+m  (D(f, x0)) + t N ,
+
+and fails with probability at least 1 - exp(-t2/4) if 
+m  (D(f, x0)) - t N .
+
+Furthermore, Amelunxen et al. (2014) shows that the SD can also be expressed as the expected distance from the subdifferential of f at x0:
+
+(D(f, x0)) = EgN (0,IN )[min0 dist(g,  f (x0))2]
+

+
+Theorem 2.4 (Minimax risk (Oymak and Hassibi, 2012)). Let x() the solution of the denoising problem (DN) with regularizer weight  and let

+
+where g is a standard normal vector. Moreover the risk is maximized for   0 and if   is the value that minimizes (2), then  =   is the optimal choice as   0.

+3 Phase transitions for the recovery of sparsely varying monotone signals
+
+We consider signals x  RN that are increasing, i.e., x(i + 1)  x(i) and are sparsely varying, i.e, x(i + 1) > x(i) for a number of k indexes. A convex function that promotes this structure can be derived by restricting the total variation (TV) norm to the space of monotone signals:
+
+f (x) =
+
+x(N ) - x(1), x(i + 1)  x(i), i  [N - 1]
+
+,
+
+otherwise.
+
+(3)
+
+where [N ] = {1, 2, . . . , N }. Our results rely heavily on the following calculation of the SDs of the cones induced by monotone signals, proven in Amelunxen et al. (2014, App. C.4).
+
+Fact 3.1. Let the cones
+
+C1N = {x  RN : x(1)  x(2)  . . .  x(N )} C2N = {x  RN : 0  x(1)  x(2)  . . .  x(N )}.
+

+
+number.
+
+3.1 Computation of the statistical dimension
+
+According to Theorem 2.3 to compute the PTC for the CS problem, we need to characterize D(f, x0).
+
+Lemma 3.2. Let  = {i  {2, . . . , N } : x0(i) > x0(i - 1)} and define i1 < i2 < . . . < ik the elements of  in increasing order. The descent cone of the norm f of (3) at x0 is given by
+
+D(f, x0) = y  RN :
+
+y(i1)  y(i1 + 1)  . . .  y(i2 - 1) ...
+
+
+ .
+
+(4)
+
+y(ik-1)  y(ik-1 y(ik)  . . .  y(N )
+
++ 1)   y(1)
+
+...   ...
+
+y(ik -  y(i1
+
+1) - 1)
+
+
+
+Proof. From Definition 2.1, y  D(f, x0) if there exists  > 0, such that x0 +  y is monotone, and f (x0 +  y)  f (x0):
+x0(N ) +  y(N ) - x0(1) -  y(1)  x0(N ) - x0(1)  y(N )  y(1).
+For the monotonicity of x0 +  y, we consider two cases: If i  , then x0(i) = x0(i - 1), and x0(i) +  y(i)  x0(i - 1) +  y(i - 1)  y(i)  y(i - 1).
+If i  , then x0(i) > x0(i - 1) and y(i) can be chosen arbitrarily since there is always a small enough  that will preserve monotonicity. Combining everything we get (4).
+3
+
+Lemma 3.2 states that the descent cone D(f, x0) can be expressed as the product of k disjoint convex cones of monotonically increasing signals. Using Fact 3.1, we derive the following simple formula for (D(f, x0)) as the sum of the SDs of the simpler disjoint cones.
+
+Theorem 3.3. Let  = {i  {2, . . . , N } : x0(i) > x0(i - 1)} and define i1 < i2 < . . . < ik the elements of  in increasing order. The SD of the descent cone at x0 equals
+
+k
+
+(D(f, x0)) = Hij-ij-1 + HN+i1-ik .
+
+(5)
+
+j=2
+
+3.2 Dependence on the change points location
+
+The closed form of the SD allows for a characterization of the worst case analysis for a given number
+of variations k. These locations have to occur periodically every N/k steps, with i1  N/2k. If rN,k = mod(N, k), then the SD becomes (k - rN,k)H[N/k] + rN,kH[N/k]+1., where [�] here denotes the integer part. For moderately large N/k this converges to kHN/k  k(log(N/k) + ), where   0.577 is the Euler-Mascheroni constant.
+
+Similarly, the best case occurs when all change points occur consecutively. In this case the SD becomes (k - 1) + HN+1-k. What is perhaps of most interest is the average SD under certain distribution assumptions of the k change points. We can asymptotically compute this in the case where these k points are distributed uniformly at random.
+
+Theorem 3.4. Assume that the k change points are chosen uniformly at random and let N, k   with k/N = , 0 <  < 1. Define U () the normalized (divided by the ambient dimension) SD averaged over all possible choices of k = N "jump" points. Then we have
+
+U ()
+
+=
+
+
+
+log(1/) 1-
+
+.
+
+(6)
+
+Proof. Let i1 < i2 < . . . < ik the change points selected uniformly randomly and define the sequence of lengths lj = ij+1 - ij for j  [k - 1] and lk = N - ik + i1. When N, k   the distribution of each lj converges to a geometric distribution with parameter  = k/N . Then we have

(2009) compared to the asymptotic average limit of (6) (blue, dashed). Somewhat surprisingly, the two curves almost coincide with the positive l1 norm PTC being always larger than the PTC of for the monotone signals for the same number of variations. The difference is plot in the right panel.

+
+In Fig. 2 we plot the SD as computed in (6) (blue), compared to the PTC for the reconstruction of sparse non-negative signals (red) as this is computed in Donoho et al. (2009), using the l1 norm restricted to non-negative signals as the structure inducing function f and solving (CS). The two curves are very near, although the PTC curve for sparse non-negative signals is slightly larger. The difference between the two different curves (Fig. 2 right) attains a maximum of  0.0096 for k/N  0.0731. We examined this difference in practice: For the sparse non-negative signal we considered signals x0  RN , N = 1000, with k = 73 non-zero entries. Then random Gaussian matrices A  Rm�N were constructed, with m = 201, . . . , 220, and we tried to reconstruct x0 from the samples Ax0 by solving (CS). We solved the same problem also for the case of sparsely varying increasing signals, where now k = 73, refers to the number of change points, chosen uniformly at random. For each m we performed 300 iterations, and the reconstruction x^ was deemed successful if x^ - x0 / x0  10-4. The results show that the probability of accurate reconstruction crosses 50% within one measurement from the point predicted by the theoretical calculation of the SD, and that the difference of measurements required for 50% reconstruction probability is around 10 measurements, as predicted by the difference of the two SDs (data not shown due to space constraints). These simulation results validate the theoretical analysis.
+
+3.3 The case of non-negative monotone signals
+
+We also consider the case of increasing and sparsely varying signals x  RN , that are also nonnegative, which we denote without loss of generality as x(0) = 0, and consider the first entry as a change point if x(1) > 0. In this case we consider the following convex regularizer f (x) = x(N ) for monotonically increasing signals and f (x) =  otherwise. Using a similar procedure we can derive the descent cone D(f, x0) and from Fact 3.1 get a similar formula for the SD:
+
+Theorem 3.5. Let  = {i  [N ] : x0(i) > x0(i - 1)} and define i1 < i2 < . . . < ik the elements of  in increasing order. Then the SD of the descent cone at x0 is given by

+
+4 Optimal denoising
+
+For the case of monotone, sparsely varying, non-negative signals it is also possible to compute the
+minimax denoising risk, by using Theorem 2.4. To consider the risk of the denoising problem (DN),
+we first derive the subdifferential of f . Let G be the N � N matrix with [G]ij = 1{i=j} - 1{i=j+1} and define the function h : RN  R  {}, with
+
+h(z) =
+
+1z, z(i)  0, i  [N ] , otherwise.
+
+Then f (x) = h(Gx) and f (x) = Gh(Gx) and
+
+f (x) = Gw, with
+
+w(i) = 1, w(i)  1,
+
+x(i) > x(i - 1) x(i) = x(i - 1)
+
+.
+
+6
+
+Therefore the distance of any vector g  RN from f (x0) can be computed by solving the following quadratic program
+
+minimize g - Gw 2,
+w,
+subject to:   0, {w(j) = , j  }, {w(j)  , j  c}.

+

+5 Discussion
+
+The (DN) problem for monotone signals was first discussed in Donoho et al. (2013) in the context of monotone regression without regularization. There an upper bound was derived and the relation of the minimax error with the PTC for the (CS) problem was established. For the CS problem Pnevmatikakis and Paninski (2013) examined, in the context of sparse deconvolution, the case of signals where x(i + 1) - x(i) is sparse and non-negative, with 0 <  < 1 and close to 1, and identified the best, average, and worst cases depending on the location of the change points, without deriving a closed form expression. To the best of our knowledge, this paper presents for the first time an non-asymptotic closed form expression that captures the dependence on both the number and the location of the change points, and also characterizes the optimal regularizer. Future work includes the case of non-monotone sparsely varying signals, with the TV norm acting as the structure inducing function. The striking resemblance between the average SD (6) and the PTC for the case of non-negative sparse signals (Donoho et al., 2009), motivates a comparison between the average SD for this case and the PTC for recovering sparse signals using the l1 norm. While a closed form solution for the SD is not available, some upper bounds appear in Cai and Xu (2015), simulations suggest a close match (Fig. 3).

+We present a theoretical framework called Lorentz quantum mechanics, where the dynamics of a system is a complex Lorentz transformation in complex Minkowski space. In contrast, in usual quantum mechanics, the dynamics is the unitary transformation in Hilbert space. In our Lorentz quantum mechanics, there exist three types of states, space-like, light-like, and time-like. Fundamental aspects are explored in parallel to the usual quantum mechanics, such as matrix form of a Lorentz transformation, construction of Pauli-like matrices for spinors. We also investigate the adiabatic evolution in this mechanics, as well as the associated Berry curvature and Chern number. Three typical physical systems, where this Lorentz quantum dynamics can arise, are presented. They are one dimensional fermion gas, Bose-Einstein condensate (or superfluid), and one dimensional antiferromagnet.

+I. INTRODUCTION
+At the core of theoretical physics, two forms of vector transformations are of fundamental importance: the unitary transformation and the Lorentz transformation. The former - usually representing rotation of a real vector in space - preserves the modulus of the vector. In contrast, the latter - associated with the relativistic boost of a real vector in space-time - preserves the interval. In the context of quantum mechanics based on the Schr�odinger equation, unitarity is an essential requirement for transformations of space, time, and spin, such that the modulus of a state vector in the Hilbert space - representing the total probability of finding the particle - is ensured invariant under these transformations. Instead, in this paper we address the quantum mechanics building on Lorentz transformations of complex vectors, where the temporal evolution and representation transformations conserve the interval. As we show below, such Lorentz quantum mechanics describes, and allow new insights into, the dynamical behavior of bosonic Bogoliubov quasiparticles.
+We develop and study the Lorentz quantum mechanics basing on the Bogoliubov equation [1, 2] for a (1, 1)type spinor - the simplest Lorentz spinor, with extensions to multi-mode spinors. In particular, we construct the matrix representing the Lorentz transformation of complex vectors, and the Lorentz counterpart of the standard Pauli matrices. Based on it, we explore in which ways the Lorentz quantum mechanics are similar to, and different from, the conventional quantum mechanics. We show that there exist many close analogies between the two, which allow extensions of, for example, the familiar adiabatic theorem and the concept of Berry phase to the context of Lorentz quantum mechanics. However, Lorentz time evolution can result in important modifica-
+
+tions such as in Berry connection [3]. We show that Lorentz spinors can generically arise in
+a variety of physical systems containing bosonic Bogoliubov quasiparticles. Specifically, we illustrate our study of the Lorentz quantum mechanics by investigating the spin wave excitations in a one dimensional (1D) antiferromagnetic system, the phonon excitations on top of a vortex in the Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC), and a 1D fermion gas at low temperatures. We note that an experimental proposal to observe Berry phase effect on the dynamics of quasiparticles in a BEC with a vortex has been reported [3]. Thus our present work not only provide theoretically new insights into the dynamical properties of quasiparticles, but also allow feasible realization using the present experimental techniques with ultracold quantum gases.

+
+This type of equations are usually called Bogoliubovde Gennes (BdG) equations and are obeyed by bosonic
+
+2
+
+quasi-particles in many different physical system (see Sec. IV). For simplicity, we use the case 1,1 to explore the basic structures of the Lorentz quantum mechanics as generalization to m,n is straightforward.
+
+A. Complex Lorentz transformation and complex Minkowski space
+
+The BdG equation for spinor (1,1) is
+
+d i
+dt
+
+a(t) b(t)
+
+= 1,1H
+
+a(t) b(t)
+
+.
+
+(3)
+
+Here a(t) and b(t) are the standard Bogoliubov amplitudes, H = H is a Hermitian matrix, and 1,1 = z is the familiar Pauli matrix in the z direction, i.e.
+
+1,1 = diag{1, -1} =
+
+10 0 -1
+
+.
+
+(4)
+
+The 1,1H as the generator of the dynamics for spinor (1, 1) is an analogue of the Hamiltonian in the
+Schr�odinger picture. Different from the Hamiltonian,
+though, 1,1H is not Hermitian. As we shall see, it will generate complex Lorentz transformation in complex
+Minkowski space For an arbitrary initial state |(0) = [a(0), b(0)]T , the
+wavefunction |(t) = [a(t), b(t)]T at times t > 0 can be
+solved formally from Eq. (3) as
+
+|(t) = U(t, 0)|(0) .
+
+(5)
+
+Here U(t, 0) is the evolution operator defined by
+
+U (t, 0) = e-i1,1Ht/ .
+
+(6)
+
+The goal of this section is to show that the operator U(t, 0) defined in Eq. (6) generates a complex Lorentz - instead of a unitary - evolution of |(t) . In particular, defining the interval for a Lorentz spinor
+
+In((a, b)T ) = (a, b)1,1(a, b)T = |a|2 - |b|2, (7)
+
+we prove below that the interval is conserved under the evolution generated by U(t, 0), i.e.
+
+|a(t)|2 - |b(t)|2 = |a(0)|2 - |b(0)|2.
+
+(8)
+
+For above purpose, we first establish the following relation,
+
+U 1,1U = 1,1.
+
+(9)
+
+Expanding 1,1U and (U )-11,1 in Taylor series, and
+noting 1,11,1 = 1, the nth term in the expansions of both 1,1U and (U )-11,1 are of the form

+
+n-1 (1,1H)s
+
+(10)
+
+This readily gives
+
+1,1U = (U )-11,1,
+
+(11)
+
+from which Eq. (9) ensues. Hence, by virtue of Eq. (9), we obtain
+
+(t)|1,1|(t) = (0)|1,1|(0) ,
+
+(12)
+
+and thus Eq. (8).
+While Eq. (8) formally resembles the conventional Lorentz evolution (transformation) in special relativity, there are delicate differences: in contrast to the conventional Lorentz transformation where only real numbers (space-time coordinate) are involved, here we are dealing with a complex vector specified by complex numbers, the interval of which requires the notion of modulus. In this sense, we shall refer to the space where these complex vectors reside as the complex Minkowski space. There, depending on In((a, b)T ) > 0, < 0 or = 0, we follow the convention and call (a, b)T as being space-like, time-like or light-like, respectively.
+We thus conclude that the evolution generated by U(t, 0) conserves the interval [see Eq. (8)], and therefore, represents a complex Lorentz evolution.
+
+B. Eigen-energies and eigenstates
+
+Although the 1,1H is not Hermitian, under certain conditions, it can admit real eigenvalues - which are relevant for physical processes. We write 1,1H in terms of three basic matrices as (dropping the term involving the identity matrix)
+
+1,1H = m1
+
+01 -1 0
+
++ m2
+
+0i i0
+
++ m3
+
+10 0 -1
+
+,
+
+(13)
+
+where parameters mi (i = 1, 2, 3) are real. The eigenenergies are the roots of the following equation
+
+m23 - (m21 + m22) = E2 .
+
+(14)
+
+It is clear that the eigenvalues are real provided the condition
+
+m23  m21 + m22
+
+(15)
+
+is satisfied. In this work, we shall restrict ourselves to this physically relevant regime of real-eigenvalues in the parameter domain specified by (m1, m2, m3), and we denote the two real eigenvalues as E1 and E2, with the corresponding eigenstates labeled as |1 and |2 , respectively.
+Two facts are clear from Eq.(14): (i) in the parameter space (m1, m2, m3), the two eigenstates |1 and |2 exhibit degeneracies on a circular cone (see Fig. 1), which resembles the light-cone in special relativity. This is in
+
+3
+
+ered, for E1 = E2 = E2, we have
+
+2|1,1|1 = 0.
+
+(18)
+
+It can be checked that the two eigenstates of 1,1H can always be specifically expressed as
+
+|1 =
+
+u v
+
+;
+
+|2 =
+
+v u
+
+.
+
+(19)
+
+FIG. 1: (color online) The degeneracy regime of Lorentz spinor parameterized by m1, m2 and m3 as in Eq. (13) forms the surface of a cone. As will be discussed in Sec. III, the charge (monopole) for Berry curvature (monopole) is at the tip of the cone rather than distributing over the whole degeneracy cone.
+
+This means that if |1 is space-like then |2 is time-like or vice versa.
+In the energy representation defined in terms of |1 and |2 , a time-evolved state |(t) = [a(t), b(t)]T [see Eq. (3)] can be written as
+
+|(t) = c1|1 e-iE1t + c2|2 e-iE2t.
+
+(20)
+
+In transforming |(t) from the Bogoliubov representation to the energy representation, the interval of the Lorentz spinor is preserved, i.e. it is a complex Lorentz transformation. To see this, using Eq. (18), we find
+
+In(|(t) ) = (t)|1,1|(t)
+
+(21)
+
+= |c1|2 1|1,1|1 + |c2|2 2|1,1|2 . (22)
+
+By further assuming a gauge for Lorentz-like normalization, i.e.,
+
+FIG. 2: (color online) Illustration of the constant-energy surfaces of BdG equation parameterized by m1, m2 and m3. The arrows indicate the directions of increasing (decreasing) of energy for state |1 (|2 ). On the cone's surface, the two eigenstates are degenerate. Because the surfaces assume the axial symmetry about the m3 axis, the two dimensional plot is depicted for clarity.
+
+marked contrast to a unitary spinor, where the degeneracy occurs only at an isolated point; (ii) unlike a unitary spinor where the constant-energy surfaces are elliptic surfaces, both eigenstates of 1,1H display hyperbolic constant-energy surfaces (see Fig. 2).
+We now describe the basic properties of the eigenstates associated with the operator 1,1H. They are solutions to the following eign-equations
+
+1,1H|1 = E1|1 ,
+
+(16)
+
+1,1H|2 = E2|2 .
+
+(17)
+
+Keeping in mind that only real eigenvalues are consid-
+
+In(|1 ) = 1|1,1|1 = 1,
+
+In(|2 ) = 2|1,1|2 = -1,
+
+(23)
+
+we obtain from (21) that
+
+In(|(t) ) = |a|2 - |b|2 = |c1|2 - |c2|2,
+
+(24)
+
+meaning the interval is conserved during the above rep-
+resentation transformation. The normalization condition |u|2 - |v|2 = 1 is different
+from the eigenstates of a conventional unitary spinor. In
+fact, if one naively enforce the unitary gauge on Eq. (19), say, |u|2 +|v|2 = 1, unphysical consequences would ensue:
+The time-evolved wavefunction in the original Bogoliubov representation [| = (a, b)T ] could not maintain its ordinary amplitude, such that |a(t)|2 + |b(t)|2 = 1
+for t > 0, and, in particular, the amplitude in dif-
+ferent representation would take different value, e.g., |c1|2 + |c2|2 = |a(t)|2 + |b(t)|2, which can be easily inferred from Eq. (20).
+In general, when 1,1H takes the form (13) with m3 = 0, it exhibits two light-like eigenvectors; whereas, when m3 = 0, there are one space-like and one timelike eigenvectors. Thus, in the physically relevant regime m23  m21 + m22 as considered here, we find |1 is spacelike and |2 time-like. As a result, a light-like vector can
+be formed from a superposition of two eigenvectors with equal weight, i.e., |c1|2 - |c2|2 = |a|2 - |b|2 = 0.
+
+4
+
+C. Representation transformation and physical meaning of the wavefunction
+
+In the usual quantum mechanics, the change from one representation to another (or from one basis to another) is given by a unitary matrix. As discussed above, the change from the Bogoliubov representation to the energy representation [see Eq. (20 and Eq. (24)] is facilitated by a Lorentz transformation. This motivates us to introduce a complex Lorentz operator L acting on the Lorentz (1, 1)-spinor, defined by
+
+L=
+
+x y y x
+
+,
+
+(25)
+
+where |x|2 - |y|2 = 1, with the corresponding inverse Lorentz matrix being
+
+L-1 =
+
+x -y -y x
+
+.
+
+(26)
+
+Using the identity L1,1L = 1,1, it is readily to see that both L and L-1 are Lorentz matrices.
+For an arbitrary Lorentz matrix, we have,
+
+In(| ) = In(L| ),
+
+(27)
+
+meaning the interval is preserved. Under a Lorentz transformation, an arbitrary physical operator K transforms as
+
+K  K = LKL-1,
+
+(28)
+
+while the corresponding eigenvalues stay unchanged. Note that, since L is no longer a unitary matrix, we have L-1 = L.
+To illustrate the above constructions, consider the transformation from the Bogoliubov to the energy representation as described earlier. In this case, the eigenstates |1 and |2 transform as
+
+|1 =
+
+u v
+
+
+
+1 0
+
+(29)
+
+|2 =
+
+v u
+
+
+
+0 1
+
+.
+
+(30)
+
+Obviously, the interval is conserved, i.e., |u|2 - |v|2 = 12 - 02 = 1, |v|2 - |u|2 = 02 - 12 = -1. In addition,
+the Bogoliubov operator transforms as,
+
+1,1H 
+
+E1 0 0 E2
+
+.
+
+(31)
+
+In light of the conservation of interval - rather than norm - of the state vector under transformations, a question immediately arises as to whether, or to what extent, the wavefunction in the context of Lorentz quantum mechanics still afford the physical interpretation as the probability wave? Indeed, in the energy representation,
+
+see Eq. (20), it is clear that |c1(2)|2, with |c1|2 + |c2|2 = 1, can be interpreted as the probability of finding the spinor
+in the eigenstate |1(2) , i.e., a wavefunction c1|1 + c2|2 still describes a probability wave. However, in the Bogoli-
+ubov representation, the interpretation of a wavefunction
+as the probability wave is no longer physically meaningful. For example, consider the eigenstate |1 = (u, v)T ,
+which is usually generated from creating a pair of Bogoli-
+ubov quasiparticles in the ground state of the system. Yet, |u|2 and |v|2 cannot represent the probabilities in
+the Bogoliubov basis: the Bogoliubov basis is not a set
+of orthonormal basis (see Sec. IV for concrete examples), and therefore, instead of |u|2 + |v|2 = 1, the convention |u|2 - |v|2 = 1 must be taken.
+
+D. Completeness of eigenvectors
+
+Based on Eq. (19) [see also Eqs. (18) and (23)], the completeness of eigenvectors in the energy representation now takes a different form compared to the unitary case, reading
+
+|j j|1,1 = 1,
+
+(32)
+
+j
+
+or, equivalently,
+
+1,1 |j j| = 1.
+
+(33)
+
+j
+
+Here, the notation j [for (1 + 1)-mode] is defined by
+
+|j j| = |1 1| - |2 2|.
+
+(34)
+
+j
+
+It can be found easily that, ensured by the property of Lorentz matrix L1,1L = 1,1, the completeness expression (32) (or (33)) maintains in any other representation.
+
+E. Analogue of Pauli Matrices
+
+In analogy with the conventional spinor that is acted by the basic operators known as Pauli matrices, it is natural to ask, for the Lorentz spinor, if similar matrices can be constructed. Such analogue of the Pauli matrices, denoted by i (i = 1, 2, 3), is required to fulfill the following conditions: (i) any operator 1,1H, when written in terms of i (dropping the term involving identity matrix), i.e.,
+
+1,1H = n11 + n22 + n33,
+
+(35)
+
+must have real-number components ni; (ii) the matrices i (i = 1, 2, 3) should have the same real eigenvalues, say, �1, and can transform into each other via Lorentz transformation [see Eq. (28)].
+Based on (i) and (ii), we see that the matrices as appeared in Eq. (13) do not represent the analogue of the
+
+5
+
+Pauli matrix for the Lorentz spinor: while they satisfy the requirement (i), the condition (ii) is violated. Instead, we consider following constructions:
+
+
+
+
+
+1 =
+
+2 1 -1 - 2
+
+, 2 =
+
+2 i i -2
+
+, 3 =
+
+10 0 -1
+
+.
+
+(36)
+
+It is easy to check that i in Eq. (36) satisfy both requirements (i) and (ii). In particular, the transformation
+
+between 1 and 3 is explicitly found to be
+
+1 = L3L-1,
+
+(37)
+
+
+
+where L is of the form (25) with x =
+
+
+2+1 2
+
+i
+
+and
+
+y
+
+=
+
+-
+
+2-1 2
+
+i,
+
+and
+
+that
+
+between
+
+2
+
+and
+
+3
+
+is
+
+given
+
+by
+
+2 = L3L-1,
+
+
+
+
+
+for L with x =
+
+2+1 2
+
+e-i
+
+ 4
+
+and y = -
+
+2-1 2
+
+ei
+
+ 4
+
+.
+
+(38)
+
+It is easy to see that the intervals of the eigenstates are,
+
+In(|j ) = 1 for j = 1, 2, . . . m,
+
+(43)
+
+In(|j ) = -1 for j = m + 1, m + 2, . . . m + n.
+
+In addition, the orthogonal condition for two nondegenerate eigenstates is derived as,
+
+j|m,n|k = 0, for j = k,
+
+(44)
+
+generalizing Eq. (18) for the (1, 1)-mode. Using Eqs. (43) and (44), the completeness of eigenvectors can be expressed as
+
+|j j|m,n = 1,
+
+(45)
+
+j
+
+or, equivalently,
+
+m,n |j j| = 1,
+
+(46)
+
+j
+
+F. Heisenberg picture
+
+with the symbol j for (m, n)-mode defined as
+
+The current Lorentz evolution is in fact defined in the analogue of Schro�dinger picture (denoted by subscript s), i.e., any physical operator keeps constant while the wavefunction undergoes Lorentz evolution. In analogy with the conventional spinor, the Lorentz quantum mechanics can also be expressed in the analogue of Heisenberg picture (denoted by subscript h). The relations of an operator O and the state | between the two pictures are,
+
+O(t)h = ei1,1HtOse-i1,1Ht, | h = ei1,1Ht|(t) s,
+
+(39) (40)
+
+where | h keeps constant but O(t)h satisfies the analogue of Heisenberg equation,
+
+i
+
+O(t)h t
+
+=
+
+[1,1H, O(t)h],
+
+(41)
+
+with [1,1H, O(t)h] being the commutator between 1,1H and O(t)h.
+
+G. Generalization to multi-mode
+
+In this section, we extend the above formulations for
+the 1,1 Lorentz spinor to the case of multi-mode spinor with m,n. The operator m,nH has m + n energy eigenstates, denoted by |1 , |2 , . . ., |m + n . Define
+the interval of a (m + n)-mode wavefunction | = (a1, a2, . . . , am+n)T as,
+
+m
+
+m+n
+
+In(| ) = |m,n| = |aj|2 -

+
+III. ADIABATICITY AND GEOMETRIC PHASE
+
+A. Adiabatic theorem
+
+Consider a (1, 1)-spinor described by the operator
+
+1,1H(R), which depends on a set of system's parameter R. Suppose the spinor is initially in an eigenstate,
+
+say |1 , before the parameter R undergoes a sufficiently
+
+slow variation, thus driving an adiabatic evolution for the
+
+Lorentz spinor. The relevant matrix element capturing
+
+the slowly varying time-dependent perturbation can be
+
+evaluated
+
+as,
+
+by
+
+acting
+
+the
+
+gradient
+
+operator
+
+
+
+
+
+ R
+
+on
+
+the Eq. (16) and using Eq. (17),
+
+2|H|1 2|H|1
+
+2|1,1|1
+
+=
+
+E1 - E2
+
+=
+
+. E1 - E2
+
+(48)
+
+Here, the last equality is ensured by the real eigenvalues in the considered parameter regimes, together with the condition E1 = E2.
+We see that the relation (48), except for an additional 1,1, is identical with that in unitary quantum mechanics [4]. This allows us to generalize the familiar adiabatic theorem to the context of Lorentz quantum mechanics: Starting from an initial eigenstate |1(R) (|2(R) ), the system will always be constrained in this instantaneous eigenstate so long as R is swept slowly enough in the parameter space. (A rigorous proof would be similar as that in the conventional quantum mechanics [4, 5], and therefore, here we shall leave out the detailed procedure.)
+
+6
+
+B. Analogue of Berry phase
+
+In conventional quantum mechanics, it is well known that an eigen-energy state undergoing an adiabatic evolution will pick up a Berry phase [6], when a slowly varying system parameter R realizes a loop in the parameter space. Here we show that in the context of Lorentz quantum mechanics, a Lorentz counterpart of the Berry phase will similarly arise.
+The time evolution of an instantaneous eigenstate, which is parametrically dependent on R, can be written as
+
+�
+| = |m e-i e , Em(R)dt i
+
+(49)
+
+� with m = 1, 2. Here, - Em(R)dt/ denotes the dynamical phase and  the geometric phase. Substituting Eq. (49) into Eq. (3), we find
+
+d1 dR
+
+=
+
+i
+
+ 1|1,1 R |1
+
+;
+
+(50)
+
+and
+
+d2 dR
+
+=
+
+-i
+
+ 2|1,1 R |2
+
+.
+
+(51)
+
+From Eqs, (50) and (51), we can readily read off the Berry connections as
+
+A1 = i 1|1,1|1 ,
+
+(52)
+
+A2 = -i 2|1,1|2 .
+
+(53)
+
+Equations (52) and (53) show that the Berry connec-
+
+tion in the Lorentz quantum mechanics is modified from
+
+the conventional one, where the Berry connection is given
+
+by
+
+i
+
+m|
+
+ R
+
+|m
+
+.
+
+Will
+
+such
+
+modifications
+
+give
+
+rise
+
+to
+
+a
+
+dif-
+
+ferent monopole structure for the Berry curvature? Or,
+
+will the monopole in the Lorentz mechanics still occur
+
+at the degeneracy point (where E1 = E2)? To address these questions, we now calculate the Berry curvature
+
+B =  � A. Without loss of generality, we take the
+
+eigenvector |1 for concrete calculations.
+
+Our starting point is the identity 1|1,1|1 = 1. By
+
+acting  on both sides, we obtain
+
+1|1,1|1 + 1|1,1|1  = 0.
+
+(54)
+
+This indicates that 1|1,1|1 is purely imaginary (A1 is real). Hence, B1 can be evaluated as,
+
+B1 =  � A1 = -Im 1|1,1|j j|1,1 � |1 , (55)
+j
+where Im represents the imaginary part. In deriving Eq. (55), we have used the completeness relation (32) and the following relation
+
+ � (�b) = � � b + � � b,
+
+(56)
+
+valid for arbitrary scalar � and vector b.
+
+According to Eq. (48), B1 in Eq. (55) is well defined provided E1 = E2, such that the monopole is expected to be absent in this case. To rigorously establish this, let us calculate the divergence of the Berry curvature, i.e.  � B1. Introducing an auxiliary operator,
+
+F = -i1,1 |j j|1,1,
+
+(57)
+
+j
+
+which is Hermitian, F = F, as ensured by the completeness relation (32), we have
+
+1,1|j = iF|j
+
+ � F = -i1,1 |j � j|1,1
+j
+
+= -i F|j � j|F
+
+j
+
+= -iF � 1,1F.
+
+(58)
+
+In deriving above, we have used Eq. (56). Further noting that
+
+i j|F|k = j|1,1|j j |1,1|k = j|1,1|k , (59)
+j
+
+the Berry curvature can be expressed in terms of F as
+
+B1 = -Im 1|F|j � j|F|1
+j
+= -Im 1|F � F1,1|1 = -Im 1|1,1F � F|1 . (60)
+
+Finally, by virtual of  � F in Eq. (58), we find
+
+ � B1
+
+= -Im[ 1| � 1,1(F � F)|1 + 1|(F � F)1,1 � |1
+
++ 1| � (F � F)1,1|1 ]
+
+= -Im[-i 1|F � (F � F)|1 + i 1|(F � F) � F|1
+
++ 1|( � F) � F1,1 - F � ( � F)1,1|1 ]
+
+= 0.
+
+(61)
+
+Therefore, as expected, the monopole in the Lorentz quantum mechanics can only appear in the degenerate regime where B1 diverges, similar as the conventional unitary quantum mechanics.
+Next, searching for the monopole, we focus on the degeneracy regime in the parameter space defined by (m1, m2, m3), which, as shown in Fig. 1, forms a circular cone. There, imagine the path of R = (m1, m2, m3) realizes a loop in the vicinity of the cone's surface. In this case, the instantaneous eigenstate, say, |1(R) , is expected to vary in a back-and-forth manner (dropping the overall phases including both the dynamical and Berry phase). This is because the instantaneous eigenstate, apart from an overall phase, is always the same along any straight line emanating from the origin. As a result, the integration of A1 along this loop vanishes, meaning there is no charge of Berry curvature on the cone's surface, even though it is in the degeneracy regime.
+
+7
+
+We thus conclude that - just as in the case of unitary spinor - the charge, if exists, can only be distributed on the isolated points, i.e., the original monopole O, in R = (m1, m2, m3) space. However, different from unitary spinor, the magnetic flux does not uniformly emanate from the monopole O to the parameter space, instead, it emanates only to the region outside of the cone (more closer to the m3 axis). In addition, even in this region, the magnetic flux is not uniformly distributed. Specifically, by evaluating the geometric phase along a loop perpendicular to the m3 axis, we can find the distribution of the magnetic flux density per solid angle as a function of the angle  from m3 axis, i.e.,

+=� 
+

+
+(62)
+
+2 1 - tan2 
+
+with +/- associated with the state |1 (|2 ). Note that
+
+the flux density is proportional to the Berry curvature,
+
+which acts as a magnetic field, whose magnitude accord-
+
+ing to Eq. (62) increases when approaching the cone.

+where
+

+ 4
+
+,
+
+the
+
+mag-
+
+netic field diverges. Inside the cone, on the other hand,
+
+the eigenvalue becomes complex such that the notion of
+
+adiabatic evolution and geometric phase become mean-
+
+ingless, i.e., there is no magnetic field emanating into the
+
+cone from the monopole O. Again, due to the aforemen-
+
+tioned fact that the instantaneous eigenstate (apart from
+
+an overall phase) remains the same along any straight
+
+line emanating from the origin, we expect all the mag-
+
+netic field fluxes to be described by straight lines (see
+
+Fig. 3).
+
+Alternatively, we can write 1,1H in terms of the analogues of Pauli's matrices i [see Eq. (35)], which is then
+
+mapped onto a vector (n1, n2, n3) in the parameter space.
+
+However, this equivalent kind of decomposition will not
+
+contribute anything but modify the slope of Berry curvature    (tan() = 1/C, while tan( ) = 1/(C - 2),
+
+with C being any constant).
+
+C. Chern number
+
+The Chern number - which reflects the total magnetic charge contained by the monopole on O - can be calculated from Eq. (62) as,
+
+Cn = �2,
+
+(63)
+
+with +/- for the state |1 (|2 ). Hence, while the Lorentz spinor has distinct distribution of the magnetic flux compared to the unitary spinor, both are associated with the same Chern number.
+
+IV. PHYSICAL EXAMPLES
+In previous sections, we have developed and studied the Lorentz quantum mechanics for the simplest Lorentz
+
+FIG. 3: (color online) Illustration of the analytic result given by Eq. (62) for the distribution of strength of Berry curvature (magnetic field) for instantaneous eigenstate |1 . For the state |2 , everything is the same except that the direction of Berry curvature is reversed, which we drop for clarity. The magnetic fluxes are always straight lines which emanate from the origin O (the tip of the cone) in (m1, m2, m3) space as parameterized in Eq. (13).  introduced in Eq. (62) is the angle spanned by m3 axis and direction of Berry curvature under study. There is no magnetic flux in the cone; away from the cone the magnetic field becomes stronger as approaching the cone's surface and tends to infinity on the surface. Because the flux density assumes the axial symmetry about the m3 axis, the two dimensional plot is depicted for clarity.
+
+spinor. Such Lorentz spinor can arise in physical systems containing bosonic Bogoliubov quasiparticles, for example, in Bose-Einstein condensates(BECs) [2]. Specifically, we illustrate our study of Lorentz quantum mechanics by investigating a 1D fermion gas at low temperatures, phonon excitations on top of a vortex in the BEC, and spin wave excitations in a 1D antiferromagnetic system.
+
+A. One dimensional Fermi gas
+
+As the first illustrative example, we investigate the fermion excitations in a one dimensional fermion gas at low temperatures. Since excitations dominantly occur for fermions near the Fermi surface (note at 1D, the Fermi surface shrinks to the left (L) and right (R) Fermi points), the corresponding Hamiltonian can then be written as [7]
+
+HF =
+
+(asq vF
+
+qasq
+
+s+
+
+1 2N
+
+g4 sq s-q +g2 sq s�-q ).
+
+s=R,L q
+
+(64)
+
+Here, the operator asq (asq) creates (annihilates) an excited fermion near the Fermi point (s = R, L) with mo-
+
+mentum q (measured with respect to the ground state
+
+value). In addition, s = 1, -1 for s = R/L, s� = L/R,
+vF labels the fermi velocity, and sq = k ask+qask is the density operator in the momentum space representation.
+
+In writing down Eq. (64), we have taken into account
+
+8
+
+the interactions between two fermions. Specifically, g2 denotes the strength of interaction between two fermions near opposite Fermi points (i.e. q 2kF ), while g4 for those close to the same Fermi point (i.e. q 0).
+Let |0 denote the state of perfect Fermi sphere (a Fermi line in one dimensional case). A generic state describing density fluctuations near the Fermi points can then be written in terms of a pseduo-spinor as
+
+a b
+
+1
+
+2
+
+2
+
+a 
+
+lq Lq + b
+
+lq Rq |0 ,
+
+(65)
+
+where l is the size of the system. As discussed in Ref. [7], the density operators sq can be effectively treated as bosonic operators within the approximation
+
+[sq, s q ] 0[sq, s q ]|0 .
+
+(66)
+
+By assuming Eq. (66), it is found that Eq. (65) represents a Lorentz spinor whose dynamics is governed by the BdG equation below

+
+The generator 1,1H of the dynamics in Eq. (67),
+
+when written in form of Eq. (13), corresponds to m1 =
+
+g2q/(2), m2 = 0 and m3 = vF q + g4/(2)q. Thus, when

+
+g4 2
+
+
+
+g2 2
+
+[see
+
+Eq.
+
+(15)], the 1,1H exhibits real
+
+eigenvalues, and has a space-like and a time-like eigen-
+
+vectors. Due to m2 = 0, as illustrated in Fig. 3, there is no magnetic flux penetrating a loop in the plane defined
+
+by (m1, m3). As a result, the Berry phase picked up by the eigenstate, say |1(R) , is always zero when R varies
+
+along a loop in the parameter space of (m1, m3).

+potential of BEC, and  is the rotating frequency of the whole system. Furthermore, n(rc) and (rc) denote the particle density and phase of the wavefunction around the vortex center, respectively, with q labeling the wave vector of phonons.
+For every value of (q, rc), the 1,1H read off from Eq. (68) can be cast into the form (13) with
+
+m1 = gn(rc) cos[2(rc)],
+
+m2 = gn(rc) sin[2(rc)],
+
+m3 = q2/2 + 2gn(rc) + V (rc) - �.
+
+(70)
+
+In this case, the space-like eigenstate of 1,1H reads
+
+1

+ + -1

+|1 = 2

+

+
+H1 -m3 H1 +m3
+
+. The eigenstate (71) features a
+
+complex angle. As a result, when rc varies in the real
+
+space, the eigenstate |1 will pick up a non-zero Berry
+
+phase: calculating the Berry connection
+
+ A1 = i 1|1,1 rc |1 ,
+
+we derive the Berry phase as
+
+
+
+
+
+1 = drc � A1 = - (M - 1)d(rc),
+
+(72)
+
+with M the total atomic mass contained in the quasiparticle wave packet. The Berry connection A1 will then give rise to an effective vector potential acting on the spatial motion of the vortex [3].
+
+B. Phonon excitations on top of a Bose-Einstein condensate vortex

+The above example shows that the existence of a nonzero Berry phase requires 1,1H - when written in form of (13) - to contain a complex part, i.e., m2 = 0. Below, we demonstrate that this can be realized in the dynamics of phonons excited on top of a vortex in a BEC.

+V. CONCLUSION
+
+To summarize, we have studied the dynamics of bosonic quasiparticles based on BdG equation for the (1, 1)-spinor. We show that the dynamical behavior of these bosonic quasiparticles is described by Lorentz quantum mechanics, where both time evolution of a quantum state and the representation transformation represent Lorentz transformations in the complex Minkowski space. The basic framework of the Lorentz quantum mechanics for the Lorentz spinor is presented, including construction of basic operators that are analogue of Pauli matrices. Based on it, we have demonstrated the Lorentz counterpart of the Berry phase, Berry connection, and Berry curvatures, etc. Since such Lorentz spinors can be generically found in physical systems hosting bosonic Bogoliubov quasi-particles, we expect that our study allows new insights into the dynamical properties of quasiparticles in diverse systems. In a broader context, the present work provides a new perspective toward the fundamental understanding of quantum evolution, as well as new scenarios for experimentally probing the coherent effect. While our study is primarily based on Bogoliubov equation for the (1, 1)-spinor, we expect the essential features also appear in dynamics described by the Bogoliubov equation of multi-mode, the study of which is of future interest.

+THREE FAMILIES OF DENSE PUISEUX MONOIDS
+FELIX GOTTI, MARLY GOTTI, AND HAROLD POLO
+Abstract. A dense Puiseux monoid is an additive submonoid of Q0 whose topological closure is R0. It follows immediately that every Puiseux monoid failing to be dense is atomic. However, the atomic structure of dense Puiseux monoids is significantly complex. Dense Puiseux monoids can be antimatter, atomic, or anything in between, meaning non-atomic with finitely or countably many atoms. In the first part of this paper, we construct infinitely many non-isomorphic atomic Puiseux monoids whose sets of atoms are dense in R0. We dedicate the rest of the paper to study the atomic structure of three families of dense Puiseux monoids: k-primary, p-adic, and multiplicatively cyclic. In particular, we characterize an antimatter subfamily of k-primary Puiseux monoids and a hereditarily atomic subfamily of multiplicatively cyclic Puiseux monoids.
+1. Introduction
+A Puiseux monoid is an additive submonoid of the nonnegative rational numbers. The atomic structure of Puiseux monoids has been recently studied in [6] and [8]. Albeit a natural generalization of numerical semigroups, Puiseux monoids exhibit a complex and striking atomic constitution. For instance, the Puiseux monoid M in Example 2.3 does not have any atoms. Furthermore, for any prescribed nonnegative integer n, there is a non-finitely generated Puiseux monoid with exactly n atoms [6, Proposition 5.4]. There exist also non-atomic Puiseux monoids with infinitely many atoms; see, for instance, [6, Example 3.5]. Moreover, as Theorem 3.5 states, there are atomic Puiseux monoids whose set of atoms is dense in R0 with respect to the standard subspace topology. This variety of unexpected atomic phenomena makes the family of Puiseux monoids a vast source of examples that might be useful to test sharpness of theorems and falsehood of conjectures in the areas of commutative semigroups and factorization theory.
+As addition is a continuous operation with respect to the standard topology of R, the subspace topology inherited by a Puiseux monoid M is intrinsically connected to the algebraic structure of M. In particular, if one is willing to study the atomic decomposition of elements of M, a neighborhood of 0 might provide substantial information. Indeed, if 0 is not a limit point of M, then it is not hard to see that M is atomic. However, when 0 is a limit point of M, the atomic structure of M might become considerably intricate. In particular, when 0 is a limit point of M, the additivity of M

+
+implies that M is dense in R0. Thus, M is dense in R0 if and only if 0 is a limit point of M. This observation motivates the following definition.
+
+Definition 1.1. A Puiseux monoid is dense if it has 0 as a limit point.
+
+The atomicity of some families of dense Puiseux monoids has been already studied. For example, every submonoid of the dense Puiseux monoid 1/p | p is prime is atomic ([8, Theorem 5.5]). On the other hand, if r  Q(0, 1), then rn | n is natural is either antimatter or atomic ([8, Theorem 6.2]). In this paper, we focus on the study of three families of dense Puiseux monoids, paying special attention to the atomic structure of their members. Before beginning the exploration of these targeted families, we give evidence of how ubiquitous atoms of a Puiseux monoid could be by finding infinitely many Puiseux monoids whose sets of atoms are dense in R0.
+This paper is structured in the following way. In Section 2, we establish the nomenclature we will be using later. Then, in Section 3, we exhibit infinitely many atomic Puiseux monoids whose sets of atoms are dense in R0. In Section 4, the family of primary Puiseux monoids is generalized, and the atomicity of the resulting monoids is explored. Then, in Section 5, we look into those Puiseux monoids satisfying that the denominators of all its elements are powers of the same prime; we find necessary and sufficient conditions for the atomicity of subfamilies of these monoids. In the latter section, we continue the study of the atomic structure of multiplicatively cyclic Puiseux monoids that was started in [8]. We prove that every multiplicatively cyclic atomic Puiseux monoid is an FF-monoid (defined in Section 2). Finally, we show that every multiplicatively cyclic Puiseux monoid that is atomic is necessarily hereditarily atomic (see Definition 4.1).
+
+2. Preliminary
+In this section, we briefly introduce a few concepts related to our exposition as an excuse to establish the notation we shall be using throughout this paper. For background material on commutative semigroups the reader can consult [9] by Grillet. On the other hand, the monograph [5] of Geroldinger and Halter-Koch offers extensive information on factorization theory of atomic monoids.
+The symbol N (resp., N0) denotes the set of positive integers (resp., nonnegative integers), while P denotes the set of primes. For a real number r, we denote the set {z  Z | z  r} by Zr; in a similar manner we shall use Qr, Q>r, and R0. If r  Q>0, then we call the unique a, b  N such that r = a/b and gcd(a, b) = 1 the numerator and denominator of r and denote them by n(r) and d(r), respectively. For each subset S of Q>0, we call the sets n(S) = {n(r) | r  S} and d(S) = {d(r) | r  S} the numerator set and denominator set of S, respectively.
+Every time the term "monoid" is used in this sequel, we tacitly assume that the monoid in question is commutative and cancellative. Thus, we always use additive
+

+
+notation on a monoid M; in particular, " + " denotes the operation of M, while 0 denotes the identity element. We use the symbol M� to denote the set M \ {0}. If a, b  M, a divides b in M means that there exists c  M such that b = a + c; in this case we write a |M b. An element a  M \M� is irreducible or an atom if whenever a = u + v for some u, v  M, one has that either u  M� or v  M�. The set of atoms of a monoid is relevant enough to deserve a special notation:
+A(M) = {a  M | a is an atom of M}.
+The monoid M is reduced if M� = {0}. Every monoid in this exposition is reduced. As a result, A(M) is always contained in each generating set. We write M = S when M is generated by S, and say that M is finitely generated if |S| < . If M = A(M) , then we say that M is atomic. By contrast, a monoid is said to be antimatter if A(M) is empty. Antimatter domains, studied by Coykendall et al. in [3], are defined in a similar fashion.
+The free abelian monoid on A(M) is denoted by Z(M) and called factorization monoid of M; the elements of Z(M) are called factorizations. If z = a1 . . . an  Z(M) for some n  N0 and a1, . . . , an  A(M), then n is the length of the factorization z; the length of z is commonly denoted by |z|. The unique homomorphism
+ : Z(M)  M satisfying (a) = a for all a  A(M)
+is called the factorization homomorphism of M. For x  M,
+Z(x) = -1(x)  Z(M )
+is the set of factorizations of x. If x  M satisfies |Z(x)| = 1, then we say that x has unique factorization. By definition, we set Z(0) = {0}. Note that the monoid M is atomic if and only if Z(x) is not empty for all x  M. The monoid M satisfies the finite factorization property if for all x  M the set Z(x) is finite; in this case we also say that M is an FF-monoid. The next proposition follows from [5, Theorem 3.1.4].
+Proposition 2.1. Every finitely generated reduced monoid is an FF-monoid.
+For each x  M, the set of lengths of x is defined by
+L(x) = {|z| : z  Z(x)}.
+The set of lengths is an arithmetic invariant of atomic monoids that has been very well studied in recent years (see [1, 2] and the references therein). If L(x) is a finite set for all x  M, we say that M satisfies the bounded factorization property, in which case, we call M a BF-monoid. Note that every FF-monoid is also a BF-monoid.
+A very special family of atomic monoids is that one comprising all numerical semigroups, cofinite submonoids of the additive monoid N0. Each numerical semigroup has a unique minimal set of generators, which is finite. Moreover, if {a1, . . . , an} is the minimal generating set for a numerical semigroup N, then it follows that A(N) = {a1, . . . , an} and gcd(a1, . . . , an) = 1. As a consequence, every numerical semigroup is
+
+4
+
+F. GOTTI, M. GOTTI, AND H. POLO
+
+atomic and contains only finitely many atoms. The Frobenius number of N, denoted by F (N ), is the minimum natural n such that Zn  N . Readers can find an excellent exposition of numerical semigroups in [4] by Garc�ia-S�anchez and Rosales.
+As mentioned in the introduction, Puiseux monoids are a natural extension of numerical semigroups. Puiseux monoids are not always atomic; for instance consider 1/2n | n  N . However, a Puiseux monoid is atomic provided 0 is not a limit point. We say that a Puiseux monoid M is strongly bounded if it can be generated by a set of positive rationals S such that n(S) is bounded.
+For a prime p, the p-adic valuation on Q is the map defined by vp(0) =  and vp(r) = vp(n(r)) - vp(d(r)) for r = 0, where for n  N the value vp(n) is the exponent of the maximal power of p dividing n. It follows immediately that the p-adic valuation satisfies that
+
+(2.1)
+
+vp(r1 + � � � + rn)  min{vp(r1), . . . , vp(rn)}
+
+for every n  N and r1, . . . , rn  Q>0. We say that a Puiseux monoid M is finite if there exists a finite subset P of P such that vp(r)  0 for all p  P \P and r  M�.
+There are only a few distinguished strongly bounded finite Puiseux monoids that are atomic, as the next theorem indicates.
+
+Theorem 2.2. [6, Theorem 5.8] Let M be a strongly bounded finite Puiseux monoid. Then M is atomic if and only if M is isomorphic to a numerical semigroup.
+
+Example 2.3. For q  P, consider the following Puiseux monoids:
+
+M=
+
+1 qn
+
+nN
+
+and M  =
+
+p/2 p
+
+pP .
+
+It is follows immediately that M is finite, strongly bounded, and antimatter. On the other hand, it is not hard to verify that M is atomic but it is neither finite nor strongly
+bounded.
+
+More information about the family of Puiseux monoids can be found in [6] and [8], where their atomic structure was studied.
+
+3. Density of Puiseux Monoids
+Recall that we defined a dense Puiseux monoid to be a Puiseux monoid having 0 as a limit point. As mentioned in the introduction, a Puiseux monoid is dense if and only if it is topologically dense in R0 with respect to the inherited standard topology.
+Proposition 3.1. An additive submonoid of Q0 is a dense Puiseux monoid if and only if it is topologically dense in R0.
+

+

+
+Proof. The forward implication follows immediately. Suppose, conversely, that M is a Puiseux monoid having 0 as a limit point. Let {rn} be a sequence in M� converging to 0. Fix any p  R>0. Let us check that p is a limit point of M. Take  > 0. Because lim rn = 0, there exists n  N such that rn < min{p, }. Let m be the maximum integer such that p - mrn > 0, and take r = mrn. By the maximality of m,
+0 < p - r = p - (m + 1)rn + rn  rn < .
+Since for an arbitrary  we have found r  M \ {p} such that |p - r| < , we gets that p is a limit point of M. Hence M is a dense Puiseux monoid.
+
+The following corollary follows directly from the fact that every Puiseux monoid that does not have 0 as a limit point is atomic.
+
+Corollary 3.2. Every non-atomic Puiseux monoid is topologically dense in R0.
+The rest of this section is dedicated to establishing the fact that there exist infinitely many non-isomorphic Puiseux monoids whose sets of atoms is dense in R0. If two Puiseux monoids M and M are isomorphic, we write M = M. It follows by the next lemma, that two Puiseux monoids are isomorphic if and only if they are rational multiples of each other.
+
+Lemma 3.3. The homomorphisms of Puiseux monoids are precisely those given by rational multiplication.
+
+Proof. Let M and M be two Puiseux monoids, and let  : M  M be a homomorphism. If  is the trivial homomorphism, then it is multiplication by 0. Therefore let us assume that  is not the trivial homomorphism, which implies that M = {0}. As N = M  N0 is a nontrivial submonoid of the additive monoid of nonnegative inte-
+gers, it has a nonempty minimal set of generators, namely {s1, . . . , sk}. Because  is not the zero homomorphism, there exists j  {1, . . . , k} such that (sj) = 0. Take a = (sj)/sj. For x  M � and n1, . . . , nk  N0 satisfying that n(x) = n1s1 + � � � + nksk, the fact that si(sj) = (sisj) = sj(si) for each i = 1, . . . , k implies that

+xa.
+
+Hence the homomorphism  is multiplication by the rational a. On the other hand, it follows immediately that, for all rational r, the map M  M defined by x  rx is a homomorphism as long as rM  M.
+
+Lemma 3.4. Let P and Q be disjoint infinite sets of primes, and let MP = ap | p  P and MQ = bq | q  Q be Puiseux monoids such that for all p  P and q  Q, d(ap) and d(bq) are powers of p and q, respectively. Then MP  MQ.
+
+6
+
+F. GOTTI, M. GOTTI, AND H. POLO
+
+Proof. Suppose, by way of contradiction, that MP = MQ. By Lemma 3.3, there exists a rational r such that MP = rMQ. If q is a prime in Q such that q  n(r), then rbq would be an element of MP such that d(rbq) is a power of q and, therefore, q  P . But this contradicts the fact that P  Q is empty.
+
+In order to generate a dense Puiseux monoid it suffices to take a sequence of positive rationals having 0 as a limit point. Let P = {Pn | n  N} be a collection of infinite subsets of primes such that Pi  Pj is empty for i = j. Now for each j  N, consider the Puiseux monoid Mj = 1/p | p  Pj . Because every Pj is infinite, each Mj is dense. Moreover, Mi  Mj for i = j; this is an immediate consequence of Lemma 3.4. Hence we can conclude that there are countably many non-isomorphic dense Puiseux monoids. The next theorem will strengthen this observation. Although the existence of dense Puiseux monoids is an straightforward fact, there still remains the question as to whether there exists an atomic Puiseux monoid whose set of atoms is dense in R0. It turns out that there are infinitely many atomic Puiseux monoids satisfying this stronger density condition. Without further ado, let us present the main result of this section.
+
+Theorem 3.5. There are infinitely many non-isomorphic Puiseux monoids whose sets of atoms are dense in R0.
+
+Proof. First, let us check that the set S = {m/pn | m, n  N and p  m} is dense in R0 for every p  P. To see this, take   R>0 and then fix  > 0. Now take n, m  N such that 1/pn <  and m/pn <   (m + 1)/pn. It follows immediately that the element s = m/pn of S satisfies that | - m/pn| < . Since  was arbitrarily taken,  is a limit point of S. It is obvious that 0 is also a limit point of S. Hence S is dense in R0.
+Now take {rn} to be a sequence of positive rationals with underlying set R dense in R0. Also, consider the collection P = {Pn | n  N} of infinite sets of primes such that Pi  Pj is empty for i = j. For each j  N, let Pj = {pjk | k  N}. Now for every j  N and pjk  Pj the set
+
+m pnjk
+
+m, n  N and p  m
+
+is dense in R0. Therefore, for every natural k, there exist naturals mk and nk satisfying that |rk - mk/pnjkk| < 1/k. Consider the Puiseux monoid
+
+(3.1)
+
+Mj =
+
+mk pnjkk
+
+kN .
+
+Because distinct generators in (3.1) have powers of distinct primes in their denominators, it follows that Mj is atomic and A(Mj) = {mk/pnjkk | k  N}. Finally, we are led to verify that A(Mj) is dense in R0. To do this take x  R0 and then fix  > 0.
+
+THREE FAMILIES OF DENSE PUISEUX MONOIDS
+
+7
+
+Since R is dense in R0, there exists a natural k large enough such that 1/k < /2 and |x - rk| < /2. Consequently, |rk - mk/pnjkk| < 1/k < /2, which implies that
+
+x
+
+-
+
+mk pnjkk
+
+< |x - rk| +
+
+rk
+
+-
+
+mk pnjkk
+
+< .
+
+This means that A(Mj) is dense in R0, as desired. By Lemma 3.4 the Puiseux monoids in P are pairwise non-isomorphic. Therefore there exist infinitely many atomic Puiseux
+monoids whose sets of atoms are dense in R0.
+
+4. k-primary Puiseux Monoids
+
+There are Puiseux monoids satisfying that each of their submonoids are atomic. These Puiseux monoids are relevant enough to deserve a name.
+
+Definition 4.1. A Puiseux monoid M is hereditarily atomic if every submonoid of M is atomic.
+
+We often show that a monoid is atomic by finding a hereditarily atomic monoid containing it (see, e.g., the proof of Proposition 6.8). It follows immediately that if a Puiseux monoid is not dense, then it is hereditarily atomic. In addition, Proposition 4.4 and Proposition 6.8 provide families of dense hereditarily atomic Puiseux monoids. Note that every hereditarily atomic Puiseux monoid is, in particular, atomic. However, not every atomic Puiseux monoid is hereditarily atomic, as we shall see momentarily.
+
+Example 4.2. Let {pn} be a sequence listing the odd prime numbers. Then consider the Puiseux monoid
+
+M = A , where A =
+
+1 2npn
+
+nN .
+
+Since each odd prime divides exactly one element of the set d(A), it follows that A(M) = A. Thus, M is atomic. On the other hand, the element 1/2n is the sum of pn copies of the atom 1/(2npn) for every n  N and, therefore, the antimatter monoid 1/2n | n  N is a submonoid of M. Hence M fails to be hereditarily atomic.
+
+Definition 4.3. Let P be a nonempty set of primes. A Puiseux monoid M is primary over P if there exists a set of positive rationals S such that M = S and d(S) = P .
+
+Within the scope of this paper, the term primary monoid refers to a Puiseux monoid that is primary over some nonempty set of primes. Let us remark that if a Puiseux monoid M is primary, then there exists a unique P  P such that M is primary over P . We call the monoid 1/p | p is prime the elementary primary Puiseux monoid. It was proved in [8, Section 5] that the elementary primary Puiseux monoid is hereditarily atomic. The next proposition is an immediate consequence of this fact.
+
+8
+
+F. GOTTI, M. GOTTI, AND H. POLO
+
+Proposition 4.4. Every primary monoid is hereditarily atomic.
+
+Let us present a natural way of generalizing the concept of a primary Puiseux monoid, and then provide some insight on the atomicity of this generalized family.
+
+Definition 4.5. For k  N, a Puiseux monoid M is a k-primary monoid if it can be generated by a set S such that d(s) is the product of k distinct primes for all s  S.
+
+Observe that the 1-primary monoids are precisely the primary monoids. For a set
+
+S and a nonnegative integer n, let us denote by
+
+S n
+
+the collection of subsets of S of
+
+cardinality n. The elementary k-primary monoid is the monoid
+
+Mk = Sk , where Sk =
+
+1 p1 � � � pk
+
+{p1, . . . , pk} 
+
+P k
+
+.
+
+We call the elements of Sk elementary generators of Mk. Although Proposition 4.4 might suggest that k-primary monoids are hereditarily atomic, this is far from being the case.
+
+Proposition 4.6. For every k  2, the elementary k-primary monoid is antimatter.
+
+Proof. First, we show that for every natural N and distinct primes p and q there exist m, n  N and p, q  P with q > p > N such that
+
+(4.1)
+
+pq = mqq + npp + pq.
+
+Let p and q be such two distinct primes. Since gcd(p, q) = 1, Dirichlet's theorem
+on arithmetic progressions of primes ensures the existence of a natural m such that p = mq + p is a prime greater than N. Dirichlet's theorem comes into play again to yield a natural n such that q = np + q is a prime. Therefore one finds that
+
+pq = mqq + pq = mqq + p(np + q) = mqq + npp + pq.
+
+Now consider the elementary 2-primary monoid M2. If p and q are distinct primes,
+
+then by the argument given above, there exist m, n  N and p, q  P satisfying
+
+q > p > max{p, q} such that the identity (4.1) holds. Dividing both sides of (4.1) by
+
+pqpq, we obtain
+
+1 pq
+
+=
+
+m
+
+1 pp
+
++
+
+n
+
+1 qq
+
++
+
+1 pq
+
+.
+
+As a consequence, no element of M2 can be an atom, which means that M2 is an antimatter Puiseux monoid.
+
+At this point we are in a position to check the more general fact that, for each
+
+k  2, the elementary k-primary monoid Mk is antimatter. To do this, fix an arbitrary elementary generator (p1 � � � pk)-1 of Mk. As before, there exist m, n  N and p, q  P satisfying that q > p > max{p1, . . . , pk} and
+
+(4.2)
+
+1 p1p2
+
+=
+
+m
+
+1 p1p
+
++
+
+n
+
+1 p2q
+
++
+
+1 pq
+
+.
+

+
+Multiplying both sides of (4.2) by (p3 � � � pk)-1 we get
+
+1 p1p2 � � � pk

+=
+

+
+.
+
+Hence no element of Mk can be an atom and, thus, Mk is antimatter.
+
+The next example sheds some light upon the fact that k-primary monoids generated by infinitely many elementary generators of the elementary k-primary monoid may not be antimatter.
+
+Example 4.7. Let {pn} be an enumeration of P, and let k be a positive integer. Consider the k-primary monoid
+
+M = A , where A =
+
+k1 i=1 pnk+i
+
+n  N0 .
+
+Because each prime divides exactly one element of the set d(A), it follows that every element of A is an atom of M. Therefore M is atomic.
+
+As Example 4.8 illustrates, a k-primary monoid generated by multiples of the elementary generators of Mk might be atomic.
+
+Example 4.8. Let {pn} be an enumeration of P. For k  N, consider the following k-primary monoid:
+
+M = A , where A =
+
+aS
+
+=
+
+sS
+
+1 ps
+
+S
+
+N k
+
+.
+
+It is not hard to see that d(A) is the set of all possible products of k distinct primes. On
+
+the other hand, if aS = c1aS1 + � � � + cnaSn for some n, c1, . . . , cn  N and S1, . . . , Sn 
+
+N k
+
+,
+
+then
+
+for
+
+every
+
+s
+
+
+
+S
+
+there
+
+exists
+
+j
+
+
+
+{1, . . . , n}
+
+such
+
+that
+
+ps
+
+|
+
+d(aSj ).
+
+Therefore
+
+(4.3)
+
+aS
+
+=
+
+sS
+
+1 ps
+
+
+
+n i=1
+
+ci
+sSi
+
+1 ps
+
+.
+
+Note that equality in (4.3) holds if and only if n = 1, c1 = 1, and S1 = S. Hence A(M) = A, and M is atomic.
+
+5. p-adic Puiseux Monoids
+The simplest representatives of dense Puiseux monoids that are not isomorphic to numerical semigroups are of the form M = 1/pn | n  N , where p is a prime. Although these representatives happen to be antimatter, they contain plenty of submonoids with a very diverse atomic structure. In this section we delve into the atomicity of submonoids of M.
+
+10
+
+F. GOTTI, M. GOTTI, AND H. POLO
+
+Definition 5.1. Let p be a prime. We say that a Puiseux monoid M is p-adic if d(x) is a power of p for all x  M�.
+We use the term p-adic monoid as a short for p-adic Puiseux monoid. Throughout this section, every time that we define a p-adic monoid by specifying a sequence of generators {rn}, we shall implicitly assume that {d(rn)} increases to infinity; this assumption comes without loss of generality because in order to generate a Puiseux monoid we only need to repeat each denominator finitely many times. On the other hand, lim d(rn) =  does not affect the generality of the results we prove in this section for if {d(rn)} is a bounded sequence, then the p-adic monoid generated by {rn} is finitely generated and, therefore, isomorphic to a numerical semigroup.
+Strongly bounded p-adic monoids happen to have only finitely many atoms (cf. Theorem 2.2), as revealed by the next proposition.
+Proposition 5.2. A strongly bounded p-adic monoid has only finitely many atoms.
+Proof. For p  P, let M be a strongly bounded p-adic monoid. Let {rn} be a generating sequence for M with underlying set R satisfying that n(R) = {n1, . . . , nk} for some k, n1, . . . , nk  N. For each i  {1, . . . , k}, take Ri = {rn | n(rn) = ni} and Mi = Ri . The fact that R  M1  � � �  Mk, along with A(M)  Mi  A(Mi), implies that
+k
+A(M)  A(Mi).
+i=1
+Thus, showing that A(M) is finite amounts to verifying that |A(Mi)| <  for each i = 1, . . . , k. Fix i  {1, . . . , k}. If Mi is finitely generated, then |A(Mi)| < . Let us assume, therefore, that Mi is not finitely generated. This means that there exists a strictly increasing sequence {n} such that Mi = ni/pn | n  N . Because ni/pn = pn+1-n(ni/pn+1), the monoid Mi satisfies that |A(Mi)| = 0. Hence we conclude that A(M) is finite.
+
+We are now in a position to give a necessary condition for the atomicity of p-adic monoids.
+
+Theorem 5.3. Let p  P, and let M be an atomic p-adic monoid satisfying that A(M) = {rn | n  N}. If lim rn = 0, then lim n(rn) = .
+
+Proof. Set an = n(rn) and pn = d(rn) for every natural n. Suppose, by way of contradiction, that lim an = . Then there exists m  N such that an = m for infinitely many n  N. For each positive divisor d of m we define the Puiseux monoid
+
+Md = Sd , where Sd =
+
+akn pkn
+
+akn = m or gcd(m, akn) = d .
+
+THREE FAMILIES OF DENSE PUISEUX MONOIDS
+
+11
+
+Observe that A(M) is included in the union of the Md. On the other hand, the fact that A(M)  Md  A(Md) for every d dividing m implies that
+
+(5.1)
+
+A(M)  A(Md).
+d|m
+
+Because A(M) contains infinitely many atoms, the inclusion (5.1) implies the existence
+
+of a divisor
+
+d of m such that |A(Md)| = .
+
+Set Nd
+
+=
+
+1 d
+
+Md.
+
+Since
+
+d divides
+
+n(q) for
+
+all q  Md, it follows that Nd is also a p-adic monoid. In addition, the fact that Nd is
+
+isomorphic to Md implies that |A(Nd)| = |A(Md)| = . After setting bn = akn/d and
+
+n = kn for every natural n such that either akn = m or gcd(m, akn) = d, we have
+
+Nd =
+
+bn pn
+
+nN .
+
+As an = m for infinitely many n  N, the sequence {n} is an infinite subsequence of
+{n} and, therefore, it increases to infinity. In addition, as lim an/pn = 0, it follows
+that lim bn/pn = 0.
+Now we argue that A(Nd) is finite, which will yield the desired contradiction. Take m = m/d. Since there are infinitely many n  N such that bn = m, it is guaranteed that m/pn  Nd for every n  N. In addition, gcd(m, bn) = 1 for each bn = m. If bn = m for only finitely many n, then Nd is strongly bounded and Proposition 5.2 ensures that A(Nd) is finite. Suppose otherwise that gcd(bn, m) = 1 (i.e., bn = m) for infinitely many n  N. For a fixed i with bi = m take j  N satisfying that gcd(bj, m) = 1 and large enough so that bipj-i > bjm; the existence of such an index j is guaranteed by the fact that lim bn/pn = 0. As bipj-i > bjm > F ( bj, m ), there exist positive integers x and y such that bipj-i = xbj + ym, that is
+
+bi pi
+
+=
+
+x
+
+bj pj
+
++
+
+y
+
+m pj
+
+.
+
+As bj/pj , m/pj  Nd�, it follows that bi/pi / A(Nd). Because i was arbitrarily taken, Nd is antimatter. In particular, A(Nd) is finite, which leads to a contradiction.
+
+The conditions lim rn = 0 and lim n(rn) =  are not enough to guarantee that the non-finitely generated p-adic monoid M is atomic. The next example sheds some light upon this observation.
+
+Example 5.4. For an odd prime p, consider the p-adic monoid
+
+(5.2)
+
+M=
+
+p2n - p2n+1
+
+1
+
+,
+
+p2n + 1 p2n+1
+
+nN .
+
+Observe that the sequence of numerators {p2n - 1, p2n + 1} increases to infinity while the sequence of generators of M converges to zero. Also, notice that for every n  N,
+
+2 p2n
+
+=
+
+p2n - 1 p2n+1
+
++
+
+p2n + 1 p2n+1
+
+ M.
+
+12
+
+F. GOTTI, M. GOTTI, AND H. POLO
+
+Now we can see that M is not atomic; indeed, M is antimatter, which immediately
+
+follows from the fact that
+
+p2n � 1 p2n � 1 2
+
+p2n+1 =
+
+2
+
+p2n+1 .
+
+The next proposition yields a necessary and a sufficient condition for the atomicity of p-adic monoids having generating sets whose numerators are powers of the same prime.
+
+Proposition 5.5. Let p and q be two different primes, and let M = rn | n  N be a p-adic monoid such that n(rn) is a power of q for every n  N. Then
+(1) if M is atomic, then lim n(rn) = ; (2) if lim n(rn) =  and {rn} is decreasing, then M is atomic.
+
+Proof. Define the sequences {n} and {n} such that pn = d(rn) and qn = n(rn). To
+check condition (1), suppose, by way of contradiction, that lim n(rn) = . Therefore there is a natural j such that n(rn) = qj for infinitely many n  N. This implies that qj/pn  M for every n  N. Thus, for every x  M� such that n(x) = qm  qj, one
+
+can write
+
+x
+
+=
+
+qm d(x)
+
+=
+
+pqm-j
+
+qj pd(x)
+
+/
+
+A(M ).
+
+As a result, every a  A(M) satisfies that n(a) < qj. This immediately implies that A(M) is finite. As M is atomic with |A(M)| < , it must be finitely generated, which is a contradiction.
+Let us verify condition (2). Consider the subsequence {kn} of naturals satisfying that n(rkn) < n(ri) for every i > kn. It follows immediately that the sequence {n(rkn)} is increasing. We claim that M = rkn | n  N . Suppose that j / {kn}. Because lim n(rn) =  there are only finitely many indices i  N such that n(ri)  n(rj), and it is easy to see that the maximum of such indices, say m, belongs to {kn}. As ri = pm-i qi-mrm, it follows that ri  rkn | n  N . Hence M = rkn | n  N . Therefore it suffices to show that rkn  A(M) for every n  N. If
+
+(5.3)
+
+qkn
+
+t
+
+qki
+
+pkn =
+
+ci pki ,
+
+i=1
+
+for some t, c1, . . . , ct  N0, then t  n, c1 = � � � = cn-1 = 0, and cn  {0, 1}. If cn = 0, then by applying the q-adic valuation map to both sides of (5.3) we immediately
+obtain a contradiction. Thus, cn = 1, which implies that rkn is an atom. Hence M is atomic.

+
+6. Multiplicatively Cyclic Puiseux Monoids
+
+The study of the atomic structure of multiplicatively cyclic Puiseux monoids was initiated in [8]. Our purpose in this section is to continue the exploration of this family of Puiseux monoids. We shall prove that atomic members of this family are FF-monoid and, therefore, hereditarily atomic. We also introduce a natural generalization of this family and explore the atomic structure of its members.
+
+Definition 6.1. For r  Q>0, the multiplicatively r-cyclic monoid is the Puiseux monoid generated by the positive powers of r.
+
+A multiplicatively cyclic monoid is a Puiseux monoid that is multiplicatively r-cyclic for some r  Q>0. The multiplicatively r-cyclic monoid is antimatter when n(r) = 1; otherwise it is atomic [8, Theorem 6.2].
+Given a monoid M and x  M, we define the set of atoms of x to be
+AM (x) = {a  A(M ) : a |M x}.
+When there is no risk of ambiguity, we write A(x) instead of AM (x). The set of atoms of an element can be seen as a local statistic that is naturally related to Z(x).
+
+Lemma 6.2. Let M be an atomic reduced monoid and x  M. Then |A(x)| <  if and only if |Z(x)| < .
+
+Proof. To show the forward implication, take x  M such that AM (x) is a finite set, say AM (x) = {a1, . . . , an}. Consider the submonoid N = a1, . . . , an of M. Since A(M)  N  A(N ) it follows that A(N ) = {a1, . . . , an}. By Proposition 2.1, the monoid N is an FF-monoid. Now the fact that AM (x) = AN (x) implies that |ZM (x)| = |ZN (x)| < . For the reverse implication, note that an atom of A(x) must show up in at least one factorization in Z(x). Hence if Z(x) is finite so is A(x).
+
+Theorem 6.3. Every multiplicatively cyclic atomic monoid is an FF-monoid.
+
+Proof. Take r  Q>0 such that the multiplicatively r-cyclic monoid Mr is atomic. By Lemma 6.2, proving that Mr is an FF-monoid amounts to showing that A(x) is finite
+
+for all x  Mr. Set a = n(r) and b = d(r). Since Mr is atomic either it is cyclic or min{a, b}  2. Arguing that Mr is an FF-monoid when either Mr is cyclic or 2  b < a
+
+is straightforward. Therefore let us assume that 2  a < b.
+
+Suppose, by way of contradiction, that there exists x  Mr such that A(x) contains infinitely many atoms. Let
+
+c1
+
+a b
+
+t1 + � � � + cn
+
+a b
+
+tn  Z(x),
+
+where ci, ti  N for each i = 1, . . . , n. After simplifying if necessary, we can assume that
+
+t1 < � � � < tn and a  ci for any i  {1, . . . , n}. Because Mr is atomic and |A(x)| = ,
+
+there exists
+
+d1
+
+a b
+
+l1 + � � � + dm
+
+a b
+
+lm  Z(x)
+
+14
+
+F. GOTTI, M. GOTTI, AND H. POLO
+
+such that lm > tn, where dj, tj  N for each j = 1, . . . , m. As before we can perform necessary simplifications to have l1 < � � � < lm and a  dj for any j  {1, . . . , m}; observe that such simplifications do not affect the fact that lm > tn. Therefore we have
+
+(6.1)
+
+n
+
+ci
+
+ati bti
+
+=
+
+m
+
+dj
+
+alj blj
+
+.
+
+i=1
+
+j=1
+
+From now on, we will not use the fact that tn < lm, but only that tn = lm. By canceling terms in (6.1) if necessary, we can assume that t1 = l1, say t1 < l1. Since a  c1, there exist a prime p and a natural  such that p | a, p+1  a, and p  c1. The fact that t1 < ti for each i  {2, . . . , n} implies vp(c1at1 /bt1) = vp(x). Taking p-adic valuation in (6.1), one finds that
+
+t1 + ( - 1)  vp
+
+c1
+
+at1 bt1
+
+= vp(x)  min
+
+vp
+
+dj
+
+alj blj
+
+j  {1, . . . , m}  (t1 + 1),
+
+which is a contradiction. Hence |A(x)| <  for all x  Mr. Lemma 6.2 ensures now that Mr is, indeed, an FF-monoid.
+
+Corollary 6.4. Every atomic multiplicatively cyclic Puiseux monoid is a BF-monoid.
+
+To make sure that Corollary 6.4 is not just a restatement of Theorem 6.3, let us exhibit an example of a Puiseux monoid that is a BF-monoid but fails to be an FFmonoid.
+
+Example 6.5. Let P be the set of odd primes, and consider the primary monoid
+
+M = A , where A =
+
+p/2 p
+
+,
+
+p
+
+-
+
+p/2 p
+
+pP .
+
+As M is a primary monoid it is atomic. In addition, it is not hard to verify that A(M) = A. As
+
+1
+
+=
+
+p/2 p
+
++
+
+p
+
+-
+
+p/2 p
+
+for each p  P , we have that |A(1)| = . Also, notice that a  1/3 for every a  A(M). This implies that no element x  M can be the sum of more than 3x atoms, i.e., L(x)  {1, . . . , 3x}. Because |L(x)| < 3x for all x  M the Puiseux monoid M is a BF-monoid that fails to be an FF-monoid.
+
+In [7, Proposition 6.4] it was proved that every positive BF-monoid of an ordered field is hereditarily atomic. As a Puiseux monoid is a positive monoid of the ordered field Q, we obtain the following result.
+
+Proposition 6.6. If a Puiseux monoid is a BF-monoid, then it is hereditarily atomic.
+
+THREE FAMILIES OF DENSE PUISEUX MONOIDS
+
+15
+
+The atomicity of multiplicatively cyclic monoids was described in [8]. If a multiplicatively r-cyclic monoid Mr is not dense (i.e., r  1), it follows immediately that Mr is hereditarily atomic. We can extend now this result to dense Puiseux monoid as a direct consequence of Corollary 6.4 and Proposition 6.6.
+
+Corollary 6.7. Every atomic multiplicatively cyclic monoid is hereditarily atomic.
+
+The fact that atomic multiplicatively cyclic monoids are hereditarily atomic can be further extended to a more general family of Puiseux monoids.
+
+Proposition 6.8. Let k  N and r1, . . . , rk  Q>0 such that gcd(n(r1), . . . , n(rk)) = 1. Then the Puiseux monoid r1n, . . . , rkn | n  N is hereditarily atomic.
+
+Proof. Let us denote r1n, . . . , rkn | n  N by M. Also, take p to be a prime number dividing gcd(n(r1), . . . , n(rk)). We will verify that the Puiseux monoid
+
+M =
+
+p d(r1) . . . d(rk)
+
+n
+
+nN
+
+contains M. For each i = 1, . . . , k there exists qi  N such that n(ri) = pqi. Therefore it follows that
+
+rim =
+
+pqi d(ri)
+
+m
+=
+
+k j=1
+
+d(rj
+
+)m
+
+d(ri)m
+
+qi
+
+p d(r1) . . . d(rk)
+
+m
+ P.
+
+for every natural m. This implies that M is a submonoid of M. By Corollary 6.7, the Puiseux monoid M is hereditarily atomic. Since M is a submonoid of M, it must be
+
+also hereditarily atomic.
+
+Finally, note that the condition on the numerators in Proposition 6.8 is not superfluous as the following example reveals.
+
+Example 6.9. Consider the Puiseux monoid
+
+M=
+
+2 7 � 11
+
+n
+,
+
+3m 7 � 11
+
+n, m  N .
+
+Fix k  N. For such k we can bound the Frobenius number F (N) of the numerical semigroup N = 2k, 3k in the following way,
+
+F ( 2k, 3k ) < (2k - 1)(3k - 1) < 11k.
+
+Therefore there exist ,   N0 such that 2k + 3k = 11k. This implies that
+
+1 7k
+
+=
+
+2k + 3k (7 � 11)k
+
+=
+
+
+
+2 7 � 11
+
+k
++
+
+3 7 � 11
+
+k
+ M.
+
+As 1/7k  M for every k  N, the antimatter Puiseux monoid 1/7k | k  N is a submonoid of M. Hence M is not hereditarily atomic.

+We consider the existence and stability of the Einstein static universe under the Generalized Uncertainty Principle (GUP) effects. We show that this solution in the presence of perfect fluid with a minimal length is cyclically stable around a center equilibrium point. By taking linear homogeneous perturbations, we find that the scale factor of Einstein static universe for closed deformed isotropic and homogeneous FLRW universe depends on the GUP coupling parameter . Thus, in the model by GUP effects, our universe can stay at the Einstein static state past-eternally, which means that the big bang singularity might be resolved successfully by an emergent scenario.

+I. INTRODUCTION
+
+Existence of a minimal length below which no other length can be observed, is a prediction of quantum theory of gravity [1]-[6]. In the framework of the perturbative string theory [1, 2], such a minimal observable length is due to the fact that strings cannot probe distances smaller than the string size. The quantum effects of gravitation at the scale of this minimal length become as important as the electroweak and strong interactions. Thus, in the framework of high energy physics phenomena such as early universe or strong gravitational fields of a black hole, we must consider the drastic effects of such a minimal length.
+Deformation of standard Heisenberg commutation relation in the ordinary quantum mechanics is a remarkable feature of the existence of a minimal length [7, 8]. Such relations are known as the generalized uncertainty principle (GUP). In one dimension, the simplest form of such relations in the context of the Snyder non-commutative space [9] can be written as
+
+qp
+
+
+
+1 2
+
+|
+
+<
+
+1 - p2 > |,
+
+(1)
+
+which is reduced to the minimal uncertainty relation when  < 0. Also, at the first order in , the string theory result q (1/p + ls2p) [10], in which the string length ls can be determined with (-/2)1/2, is recovered. Furthermore,
+if  > 0 a vanishing uncertainty in the non-commutative coordinate is allowed and appears as soon as p reaches the critical value of (p) = (1 -  < p >)/. Thus, the commutation relation can be written as
+
+[q, p] = i 1 - p2,
+
+(2)
+
+and the only freedom remains on the sign of the deformation parameter . We can then conclude that, a maximum momentum or a minimal length are predicted by the Snyder-deformed relation (2) if  > 0 or  < 0, respectively. Various applications of the low energy effects of the modified Heisenberg uncertainty relations have been extensively studied, see for example [11]-[15]. Also, in [16], the author has considered the implications of a deformed Heisenberg algebra on the Friedmann-Lema^itre-Robertson-Walker cosmological models.
+The idea, which uses the Einstein static state to solve the problem of big bang singularity, was first proposed by Ellis et al., and since then it was named the emergent scenario [17, 18]. It is easy to see that the existence of a stable Einstein static state universe is a prerequisite for the emergent theory. Otherwise our universe is impossible to stay at the static state past-eternally. The emergent mechanism is unsuccessful for the avoidance of big bang singularity in the theory of general relativity because the Einstein static state solution is unstable. In the very early universe, due to the fact that the cosmic energy density is very large, it is reasonable to consider some other effects, such as those from quantum gravity and modified gravity, which might help to stabilize the Einstein static state. Finally, the stability of the Einstein static state has been studied in various cases [19�34], from loop quantum gravity [20�22] to

+f (R) gravity [30] and f (T ) gravity [35], from Horava-Lifshitz gravity [31, 34] to brane gravity [23, 36] and massive bigravity [37]. Also, recently the stability of the Einstein static state has been considered in [38, 39].
+In this paper, we consider the stability of the Einstein static universe in the Friedmann-Lema^itre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) space-time in the framework of the GUP effects. Section II is devoted to the study of the modified FLRW cosmological dynamics. In Section III we present an analysis of the equilibrium of Einstein solution in the presence of matter. Next, we study a numerical example, in which the energy contain relativistic matter. In section IV we consider the model under the inhomogeneous perturbations. The paper ends with a brief conclusions in Section V.
+
+II. DEFORMED FLRW DYNAMICS
+Here, we first rewire the Snyder-deformed dynamics of the isotropic and homogeneous cosmological models that it has been presented in [16]. We study the system at classical level searching for the modifications influenced by the deformed Heisenberg algebra. Thus, we consider the ordinary FLRW dynamics and then focus on the deformed one.
+
+A. Standard Friedmann equation

+

+
+(3)
+
+where a = a(t) and N = N (t) are the scale factor and the lapse function, respectively. The scale factor is the only degree of freedom of the system describing the expansion of the universe while the lapse function does not play a dynamical role. The spatial curvature K can be zero or �1 depending on the topology of the space. The dynamics of such models is encapsulated in the scalar constraint

+
+0,
+
+(4)
+
+where G = lP2 is the gravitational constant,  = (a) denotes for generic energy density of the system and pa is the momentum conjugate to the scale factor a. Because of the isotropy, the phase space of general relativity is reduced to 2-dimensional space in which the only non-vanishing Poisson bracket is {a, pa} = 1. By using the Hamilton equations with respect to the extended Hamiltonian, the Friedmann equation can be obtained

+
+where  is a Lagrange multiplier and the last term  is written because the momenta conjugate () to the lapse function vanishes. The equation of motion for N is obtained as N = {N, HE} = , and the Hamiltonian constraint (4) is obtained requiring the constraint  = 0 to be satisfied at all times, i.e. by imposing that the secondary constraint
+ = {, HE} = H = 0 holds. The other equations of motion with respect to HE read as following

+
+which is the desired Friedmann equation in a synchronous reference frame, i.e. defined in the 3 + 1 framework by N = 1 and N i = 0, the time coordinate is identified with the proper time at each point of space. We know that
+this equation leads to the big-bang singularity where the (general-relativistic) description of the universe is no longer
+appropriate and quantum modifications are required.
+
+3
+
+B. Deformed Friedmann equation
+
+Now, we are ready to consider the analysis of the deformed dynamics of the FLRW models and specifically we study the one-dimensional case of the scheme considered above. In other words, we check the modifications resulting from the algebra (2) on the classical trajectory of the universe represented in the previous subsection.
+The modified symplectic geometry resulting from the classical limit of (2), is the origin of Snyder-deformed classical dynamics and the parameter  is regarded as an independent constant with respect to . According to Dirac's prescription, it is possible to replace the quantum-mechanical commutator (2) via the Poisson bracket
+
+- i[q~, p]  {q~, p} = 1 - p2.
+
+(8)
+
+This relation corresponds exactly to the unique (up to a sign) possible realization of the Snyder space. To obtain the deformed Poisson bracket, some natural requirements must be considered. So, it must possess the same properties as the quantum mechanical commutator, i.e. it has to be anti-symmetric, bilinear and satisfy the Leibniz rules as well as the Jacobi identity. Thus, the Poisson bracket in the two-dimensional phase space is
+
+{F, G} =
+
+F q~
+
+G p
+
+-
+
+F p
+
+G q~
+
+1 - p2.
+
+(9)
+
+Specially, the canonical equations for coordinate and momentum from the deformed Hamiltonian H(q~, p), are given by
+
+q~
+
+=
+
+{q~,
+
+H}
+
+=
+
+H p

+
+p
+
+=
+
+{p,
+
+H}
+
+=
+
+-
+
+H q~
+
+1 - p2.
+
+(10)
+
+Now, we apply this scheme to the FLRW model in the presence of the matter energy density, namely to the extended Hamiltonian (5). Thus we assume the minisuperspace as Snyder-deformed and consequently, the commutator between the scale factor a and its conjugate momentum pa is uniquely given by
+
+{a, pa} = 1 - p2a ,
+
+(11)
+
+with respect to which the equations of motion N = {N, HE} =  and  = {, HE} = H = 0 are not changed. Indeed, the Poisson bracket {N, } = 1 is not influenced by the deformations induced by the  parameter. Nevertheless, the
+equations of motion (6) can be modified in such approach via the relation (11), and we have

+
+The equation of motion in the canonical case for the Hubble rate can be obtained by solving the constraint (4) with respect to pa and then studying the first equation of (12). Explicitly, it has the following form (taking N = 1)

+

+
+Also, the conservation equations for the matter component is given by
+
+ + 3H(1 + w) = 0 ,
+
+(14)
+
+where w is the equation of state parameter of the background matter. Equation (13) is deformed Friedmann equation in which it requires the modification originating from the Snyder-deformed Heisenberg algebra (11). If we consider the flat FLRW universe (K = 0), the deformed equation (13) can be written as [16]
+
+a a
+
+2 K =0

+

+where P is the Planck energy density and c = (2G/3||)P is the critical energy density. Note that in the last step the existence of a fundamental minimal length is assumed . One of the most important consequences of all quantum gravity theories is the existence of a fundamental cut-off length which is related to the Planck cut-off length (for a review see [40]). Therefore, it is anticipated that the scale factor (the energy density) has a minimum (maximum) at the Planck scale.
+The impact of deformed Heisenberg algebra on the Friedmann equation (15) results in the modifications manifested in the form of a 2-term. If  > 0 and  = c in high energy regime, the Hubble rate vanishes and the Universe experiences a bounce in the scale factor. Also, the standard Friedmann equation (7) for k = 0, is recovered for energy density much smaller than c. When  = 0, the correction term vanishes and the ordinary behavior of the Hubble parameter is obtained. The Randall-Sundrum braneworld scenario is also recovered for  < 0 .
+
+III. THE EINSTEIN STATIC SOLUTION AND STABILITY
+
+By using the equations (13) and (14) for the closed FLRW universe (K = 1), the Raychadhuri equation can be written as1

+
+

+
+72a4
+
++ a2
+
+� a4 - 24a6
+
+144a8H2 .
+
+(17)
+
+The Einstein static solution is described by a� = 0 = a . To begin with, we obtain the conditions for the existence of this solution. From equations (16) and (17), the scale factor and energy density in this case are given by
+
+a2 Es

+
+.
+
+(18)
+

+
+By considering the solutions (18), the existence condition of an Einstein static universe is reduced to the reality condition for aEs and positivity for Es , which for a positive  results in the allowed domain of w
+
+-1/3 < w < 1/3,
+
+(19)
+
+and for  < 0 we have
+
+w < -1/3.
+
+(20)
+
+Now, we are going to study the stability of the critical point for the case of positive sign equation (17). For convenience, we introduce two variables
+
+x1 = a, x2 = a .
+
+(21)
+
+It is then easy to obtain the following equations
+
+x 1 = x2,

+
+According to these variables, the fixed point, x1 = aEs, x2 = 0 describes the Einstein static solution properly. The

+

+

+

+

+
+(24)
+
+In the case of 2 < 0 the Einstein static solution has a center equilibrium point, so it has circular stability, which
+means that small perturbation from the fixed point results in the oscillations about that point rather than exponential
+deviation from it. In this case, the universe oscillates in the neighborhood of the Einstein static solution indefinitely. Here the allowed ranges for w with the requirement 2 < 0 are obtained in Table 1.
+
+Table 1: Allowed ranges for w. w
+-1/3 < w < 1/4 or w > 1/3 -1/3 < w < 1/4 or 1/4 < w < 1/3 or w > 4/9
+
+ >0 <0
+
+Thus, the stability condition is determined by 2 < 0 (Table 1). For  > 0, this means that -1/3 < w < 1/4. Comparing this inequality with the conditions for existence of the Einstein static solution (19), we find that the
+Einstein universe is stable for -1/3 < w < 1/4. Especially, it is stable in the presence of ordinary matter (w) and the GUP effects. Also, for more clarification about the explicit behavior of 2 as a function of w and  we have plotted
+it in Fig.1.

+
+From Fig. 1, it can be seen that for the given ranges for w and , 2 is negative and Einstein universe is stable.
+
+A. Numerical analysis of the model
+
+In the following, we study numerically the effects of GUP on the dynamics of the universe. As an example, according to the allowed stability ranges for w, namely -1/3 < w < 1/4, we consider a relativistic matter with an equation-of-state parameter w = -0.2. Using these equation of state parameters in the equation (16), we obtain

+
+Obviously,
+
+the phase space trajectories which are beginning precisely on the Einstein static fixed point, remain at this point
+
+indeterminately. From another point of view, trajectories which are creating in the vicinity of this point would
+
+oscillate indefinitely near this solution. An example of such a universe trajectory using initial conditions given by
+
+a(0) = 1 and a (0) = 0, with  = 0.8 has been plotted in Fig. 2. Another example, for  = 2 and w = -0.3 has been
+
+plotted in Fig. 3.
+
+Note that by choosing another Equation-of-State parameter w from the stability range, i.e. -1/3 < w < 1/4, one
+
+can solve numerically the equation (16).

+First, we study inhomogeneous density perturbations for the simple one-component fluid models under the GUP
+effects. The density perturbations in the context of FLRW universe by using 1 + 3-covariant gauge-invariant approach, are characterized by  = a2D2/, where D2 is the covariant spatial Laplacian. The dynamical equation of  for

+Equation (27) shows that neutral stable against adiabatic density perturbations of the fluid for all allowed inhomogeneous modes is generally available, except for those values of parameters  and w for which the  becomes negative.
+To consider the stability and instability of the Einstein static universe against adiabatic density perturbations, we obtain the following range of w,  and k for the case cs   with the requirement  > 0 and  < 0 in Table 2 and Table 3, respectively.

Also, from Table 3 it can be seen that for the given ranges for w, , k and cs,  is negative and Einstein universe is unstable against adiabatic density perturbations. It is worth mentioning that there are variety of other ranges for which one can show the stability or instability against adiabatic density perturbations, however we have confined ourselves to some typical ranges in the above tables.

+In the an isotropic and homogeneous FLRW universe, the vector perturbations of a perfect fluid are given by the comoving dimensionless vorticity defined as a = a, with modes that are satisfying the following propagation equation [27, 42]

+where H is the Hubble parameter. By imposing the Einstein static universe condition, i.e. H = 0, equation (29) can be written as
+
+ k = 0.
+

+
+From equation (30) it can be seen that in the Einstein static universe regime, the initial vector perturbations are frozen and thus for all equations of state on all scales the neutral stability against vector perturbations exists.
+Next step to consider the inhomogeneous perturbations, is the tensor perturbations, namely gravitational-wave perturbations, of a perfect fluid with density  and pressure p = w that it is defined by the comoving dimensionless transverse-traceless shear ab = aab, with modes that are satisfying the following equation [43]

+
+where  is given by

+
+8(1 - 3w)2
+
+.
+
+(33)
+
+To obtain the above equation, we have inserted equation (18) in equation (31). This equation specifies that the neutral stability for tensor perturbations is generally available, except for those values of parameters  and w for which the  becomes negative.
+To study the stability and instability of the tensor perturbations in the context of Einstein static universe, we obtain the following range of w and  for the case k   with the requirement  > 0 and  < 0 in Table 4 and Table 5, respectively.

+V. CONCLUSION
+We have discussed the existence and stability of the Einstein static universe with a minimal length in the context of GUP effects. We have shown that the radius of Einstein universe is inversely proportional to the . Also, we have determined the allowed intervals for the equation of state parameter such that the Einstein universe is stable, while it is dynamically belonging to a center equilibrium point. Also, we have studied the presented model under the inhomogeneous perturbations in which by fixing values of parameters  and w stability for density, vector and tensor perturbations are generally available. The motivation study of such a solution is the result of its essential role in the construction of non-singular emergent oscillatory models which are past eternal, and hence can resolve the singularity problem in the standard cosmological scenario.

+Acknowledgments
+When this work was completed and ready for submission to arxiv, we noticed the appearance of a new paper in the arxiv [41], relevant to our paper. After a careful study, we realized that our modified Friedmann equation (15) is different from the one (7) used in [41]. In the paper [41], the modified Friedmann equation was derived using the form of generalized uncertainty principle (4) with a correction term linear in the momentum, whereas our modified Friedmann equation was derived using the different form of generalized uncertainty principle (11), with a correction term quadratic in the momentum, deduced from the Snyder non-commutative space. Therefore, different and independent results have been obtained in these two papers.

+PRIMITIVE AUTOMORPHISMS OF A SIMPLE ABELIAN VARIETY
+KEIJI OGUISO
+
+arXiv:1701.00061v1 [math.AG] 31 Dec 2016
+
+Abstract. We shall prove that an automorphism of a simple abelian variety is primitive if and only if it is of infinite order.
+
+1. Introduction
+
+This note provides a supplementary result (Theorem 1.1) of my talk at the sixty-first Al-
+
+gebra Symposium of Mathematical Society of Japan, held at Saga University on September
+
+7�10, 2016. My talk there was based on my previous [Og16-2].
+
+Throughout this note, the base field is assumed to be the complex number field C. Let
+
+M be a smooth projective variety of dimension m  2 and f  Bir (M ).
+
+f is said to be imprimitive if there are a smooth projective variety B with 0 < dim B < m
+
+and a dominant rational map  : M
+
+B with connected fibers such that  is f -
+
+equivariant, i.e., there is fB  Bir (B) satisfying   f = fB  . As  is just a rational
+
+dominant map, smoothness assumption of B is harmless by Hironaka resolution of singu-
+
+larities ([Hi64]). We say that f is primitive if it is not imprimitive.
+
+The notion of primitivity is introduced by De-Qi Zhang [Zh09]. Note that if f is primitive,
+
+then ord (f ) = . Indeed, otherwise, the invariant field C(M )f is of the same transcen-
+
+dental degree m as the rational function field C(M ). Thus we have   C(M )f \ C as
+
+m  1. Then the Stein factorization of  : M P1 is f -equivariant. f is then imprimitive
+
+as m  2.
+
+Assume that f  Aut (M ). The topological entropy htop(f ) of f is a fundamental quantity measuring the complexity of the orbit behaviour under f n (n  0). Let rp be the spectral radius of f |Hp,p(M ). Then, by Gromov-Yomdin's theorem, htop(f ) satisfies
+
+0  htop(f ) = log max0pmrp(f )
+
+In this note, it is harmless to regard this formula as the definition of htop(f ) (See eg. [Og15] and references therein for details).
+The aim of this note is to remark the following:
+
+Theorem 1.1. Let A be a simple abelian variety of dimension m  2 and f  Aut (A). Then f is primitive if and only if ord (f ) = . In particular, the translation automorphism ta (a  A) defined by x  x + a is primitive if a is a non-torsion point of A with fixed zero. Moreover, if in addition A is of CM type, then A admits a primitive automorphism of positive entropy, possibly after replacing A by an isogeny.

+
+Here and hereafter, an abelian variety A = Cm/ is said to be simple if A has no abelian subvariety B such that 0 < dim B < dim A. A simple abelian variety A is called of CM type if the endomorphism ring E := Endgroup(A)  Q is a CM field with [E : Q] = 2 dim A. By definition, a field E is a CM field if E is a totally imaginary quadratic extension of a totally real number field K. Note that if an abelian variety B is isogenous to a simple abelian variety of CM type, then so is B with the same endomorphism ring as A. However, Autgroup (A)  Autgroup (B) in general (even for elliptic curves of CM type).
+The "only if" part of Theorem 1.1 is clear as already remarked. Theorem 1.1 is a generalization of our earlier work [Og16-2, Theorem 4.3]. The last statement of Theorem 1.1 gives an affrimative answer to a question asked by Gongyo at the symposium.
+Our proof is a fairly geometric one based on works due to Amerik-Campana [AC13] and Bianco [Bi16] and is in some sense close to [Og16-3].
+Acknowledgement. I would like to express my thanks to Professors Tomohide Terasoma, Kota Yoshioka and Fumiharu Kato for their invitation to the symposium, Professor Yoshinori Gongyo for his inspiring question there and Professor Akio Tamagawa for his interest in this work and valuable e-mail correspondence.
+
+2. Proof of Theorem 1.1.
+Let A be a simple abelian variety of dimension m  2 and f  Aut (A) such that ord (f ) = . We first show that f is primitive.
+The following two well-known propositions will be frequently used:
+Proposition 2.1. Let V be a subvariety of A such that dim V < m = dim A and V~ is a Hironaka resolution of V . Then V~ is of general type.
+Proof. See [Ue75, Corollary 10.10].
+Proposition 2.2. Let M be a smooth projective variety of general type defined over a field k of characteristic 0. Then the birational automorphism group Bir (M/k) of M over k is a finite group
+Proof. By the Lefschetz principle, we may reduce to [Ue75, Corollary 14.3].
+Lemma 2.3. Let P be a very general closed point of A. Then the f -orbit {f n(P ) | n  Z} of P is Zariski dense in A.
+Proof. As P is very general, f n is defined at P for all n  Z. By [AC13, Th�eor`eme 4.1], there is a smooth projective variety B and a dominant rational map  : A B such that   f =  and -1((P )) is the Zariski closure of f -orbit of P . It suffices to show that dim B = 0. In what follows, assume to the contray that dim B > 0, we derive a contradiction.
+Let   B be the generic point in the sense of scheme and A be the fiber over . Then by Proposition 2.1 and specialization, a Hironaka resolution of each irreducible component of A is of general type over C(B). By   f = , f faithfully acts on A over C(B). Thus, by Proposition 2.2, f n = id on A for some positive integer n. Thus f n = id on A, as the generic point A of A is in A. This contradicts to ord f = .
+The following general, useful proposition is due to Bianco:
+
+PRIMITIVE AUTOMORPHISMS

+
+Proposition 2.4. Let X be a projective variety and g  Bir (X). Assume that  : X B is a g-equivariant dominant rational map to a smooth projective variety B with dim B < dim X. Assume that a Hironaka resolution X~b of the fiber Xb is of general type for a general closed point b  B. Then for any very general closed point P  X, the g -orbit {gn(P )|n  Z} of P is never Zariski dense in X.
+Proof. See [Bi16, Section 4]. See also [Og16-3, Remark 2.6] for a minor clarification.
+The next proposition completes the first part of Theorem 1.1:
+Proposition 2.5. Let A be a simple abelian variety of dimension  2 and f be an automorphism of A of infinite order. Then f is primitive.
+Proof. Let  : A B be an f -equivariant dominant rational map to a smooth projective variety B with dim B < dim A and with connected fibers. If dim B > 0, then by Proposition 2.1, a Hironaka resolution A~b of the fiber Ab over b  B is of general type for general b  B. Then, by Proposition 2.4, the f -orbit of a very general closed point P  A is not Zariski dense. This contradicts to Lemma 2.3. Thus dim B = 0, i.e., f is primitive.
+We shall show the last part of Theorem 1.1. Let A be a simple abelian variety of CM type of dimension m  2. We write E := Endgroup(A)  Q. Then by definition, E is a totally imaginary quadratic extension of a totally real number field K with [K : Q] = m  2. First we make A explicit up to isogeny. As E is a totally imaginary field with [E : Q] = 2m, there are exactly 2m different complex embeddings i : E  C (1  i  2m) such that 2m-i = i. Here - is the complex conjugate of C. Note that there are exactly 2m � m! ways of numberings I of the embeddings here. Choosing one such numbering I, we consider the embedding:
+I := (1, 2, � � � , m) : E  Cm ; a  (1(a), 2(a), . . . , m(a)) .
+Let OE (resp. OK ) be the integral closure of Z in E (resp. in K). Then BI := Cm/I (OE )
+is an abelian variety and A is isogenous to BI for some numbering I (See eg. [Mi06, Chapter I, Section 3]).
+From now, we shall prove that the abelian variety B := BI admits an automorphism of positive entropy.
+Definition 2.6. Let Q be the algebraic closure of Q in C, Z be the integral closure of Z in Q and Z� be the unit group of the ring Z. A real algebraic integer is an element of Z  R. A real algebraic integer  is called a Pisot number if  > 1 and || < 1 for all Galois conjugates  =  of  over Q. A Pisot number  is called a Pisot unit if   Z�.
+Then, by [BDGPS92, Theorem 5.2.2], we have
+Theorem 2.7. For any real number field L, there is a Pisot unit   L such that L = Q().
+As K is (totally) real, there is then a Pisot unit  such that K = Q(). Consider the linear automorphism of Cm defined by:
+f~ : Cd  Cd ; (z1, z2, . . . , zm)  (1()z1, 2()z2, . . . , m()zm) .

+
+As  is a unit in OK (hence in OE), so are i() in i(OE). Thus f~(I (OE)) = I (OE) by the definition of I . Hence f~ descends to an automorphism f of B. We set f := f.
+As K is totally real, regardless of I, we have
+{i() | 1  i  m} = { := 1, 2, . . . , m} .
+Here the right hand side is the set of all Galois conjugates of  over Q. By the construction of f from f~, the left hand side set also coincides with the set of eigenvalues of f|H0(B, 1B), and therefore, coincides with the set of eigenvalues of f |H0(B, 1B). As B is an abelian variety, we have
+H1,1(B) = H0(B, 1B)  H0(B, 1B) . Here H0(B, 1B) is the complex conjugate of H0(B, 1B)  H1(B, Z)  C. As  is real, it follows that 2 is an eigenvalue of the action of f on H1,1(B). Hence
+htop(f )  r1(f )  2 > 1 .
+Here the last inequality follows from the fact that  > 1. Thus f is of postive entropy. In particular, ord (f ) = . Therefore, f is primitive as well by the first part of Theorem 1.1. This completes the proof of Theorem 1.1.

+It has been shown in recent years that the stochastic block model (SBM) is sometimes undetectable in the sparse limit, i.e., that no algorithm can identify a partition correlated with the partition used to generate an instance, if the instance is sparse enough and infinitely large. In this contribution, we treat the finite case explicitly, using arguments drawn from information theory and statistics. We give a necessary condition for finite-size detectability in the general SBM. We then distinguish the concept of average detectability from the concept of instance-by-instance detectability and give explicit formulas for both definitions. Using these formulas, we prove that there exist large equivalence classes of parameters, where widely different network ensembles are equally detectable with respect to our definitions of detectability. In an extensive case study, we investigate the finite-size detectability of a simplified variant of the SBM, which encompasses a number of important models as special cases. These models include the symmetric SBM, the planted coloring model, and more exotic SBMs not previously studied. We conclude with three appendices, where we study the interplay of noise and detectability, establish a connection between our information-theoretic approach and random matrix theory, and provide proofs of some of the more technical results.

+I. INTRODUCTION
+Mesoscopic analysis methods [1] are among the most valuable tools available to applied network scientists and theorists alike. Their aim is to identify regularities in the structure of complex networks, thereby allowing for a better understanding of their function [1�3], their structure [4, 5], their evolution [6, 7], and of the dynamics they support [8�10]. Community detection is perhaps the best-known method of all [1, 2], but it is certainly not the only one of its kind [3]. It has been shown, for example, that the separation of nodes in a core and a periphery occurs in many empirical networks [11], and that this separation gives rise to more exotic mesoscopic patterns such as overlapping communities [12]. This is but an example--there exist multitudes of decompositions in structures other than communities that explain the shape of networks both clearly and succinctly [13].
+The stochastic block model (SBM) has proven to be versatile and principled in uncovering these patterns [14� 16]. According to this simple generative model, the nodes of a network are partitioned in blocks (the planted partition), and an edge connects two nodes with a probability that depends on the partition. The SBM can be used in any of two directions: Either to generate random networks with a planted mesoscopic structure [8, 10] or to infer the hidden mesoscopic organization of real complex networks, by fitting the model to network datasets [13, 14, 17]--perhaps its most useful application.
+Stochastic block models offer a number of advantages over other mesoscopic pattern detection methods [3].
+ jean-gabriel.young.1@ulaval.ca  ljd@phy.ulaval.ca
+
+One, there is no requirement that nodes in a block be densely connected, meaning that blocks are much more general objects than communities. Two, the sound statistical principles underlying the SBM naturally solve many hard problems that arise in network mesoscopic analysis; this includes the notoriously challenging problem of determining the optimal number of communities in a network [18�20], or of selecting among the many possible descriptions of a network [1, 20, 21].
+Another advantage of the statistical formulation of the SBM is that one can rigorously investigate its limitations. It is now known, for example, that the SBM admits a resolution limit [18] akin to the limit that arises in modularity�based detection method [22]. The limitations that have attracted the most attention, however, are the detectability limit and the closely related concept of consistency limit [23]. The SBM is said to be detectable for some parameters if an algorithm can construct a partition correlated with the planted partition [24], using no information other than the structure of a single--infinitely large--instance of the model. It is said to be consistent if one can exactly recover the planted partition. Therefore, consistency begets detectability, but not the other way around. Understanding when and why consistency (or detectability) can be expected is important, since one cannot trust the partitions extracted by SBM if it operates in a regime where it is not consistent (or detectable) [23].
+Due to rapid developments over the past few years, the locations of the boundaries between the different levels of detectability are now known for multiple variants of the SBM, in the limit of infinite network sizes. If the average degree scales at least logarithmically with the number of nodes, then the SBM is consistent [25, 26], unless the constant multiplicative factor is too small, in which case
+
+2
+
+the SBM is then detectable, but not consistent. If the average degree scales slower than logarithmically, then the SBM is at risk of entering an undetectable phase where no information on the planted partition can be recovered from the network structure [27, 28]. This happens if the average degree is a sufficiently small constant independent of the number of nodes.
+These asymptotic results are, without a doubt, extremely useful. Many efficient algorithms have been developed to extract information out of hardly consistent infinite instances [28�31]. Striking connections between the SBM and other stochastic processes have been established in the quest to bound the undetectable regime from below [23, 26, 32, 33]. But real networks are not infinite objects. Thus, even though it has been observed that there is a good agreement between calculations carried out in the infinite-size limit and empirical results obtained on small networks [31], it is not immediately clear that the phenomenology of the infinite case carries over, unscathed, to the finite case.
+In this paper, we explicitly investigate detectability in finite networks generated by the SBM. We understand detectability in the information-theoretic sense [33]; our analysis is therefore algorithm�independent, and yields the boundaries of the region of the parameter space where the planted partition is undetectable, even for an optimal algorithm (with possibly exponential running time).
+The combination of this information-theoretic point of view with our finite-size analysis leads to new insights and results, which we organize as follows. We begin by formally introducing the SBM and the necessary background in Sec. II. We use this section to briefly review important notions, including inference (Sec. II B), as well as the consistency and detectability of the infinite SBM (Sec. II C). In Sec. III, we present a necessary condition for detectability, and show that it is always met, on average, by finite instances of the SBM. We then establish the existence of a large equivalence class with respect to this notion of average detectability. In Sec. V, we introduce the related concept of �detectability and investigate the complete detectability distribution, beyond its average. In Sec. VI, we apply the perfectly general framework of Secs. III�V to a constrained variant of the SBM: the general modular graph model of Ref. [34]. The results of this section hold for a broad range of models, since the general modular graphs encompass the symmetric SBM, the planted coloring model, and many other models as special cases. We gather concluding remarks and open problems in Sec. VII. Three appendices follow. In the first, we investigate the interplay between noise and our notion of average detectability (Appendix A); in the second, we establish a connection between our framework and random matrix theory (Appendix B); in the third, we give the details of two technical proofs encountered in the main text (Appendix C).
+
+II. STOCHASTIC BLOCK MODEL
+
+A. Definition of the model
+
+The stochastic block model is formally defined as fol-
+
+lows: Begin by partitioning a set of n nodes in q blocks
+
+of fixed sizes n = (n1, ..., nq), with n =
+
+q r=1
+
+nr
+
+.
+
+Denote
+
+this partition by B = {B1, ..., Bq}, where Br is the set
+
+of nodes in the rth block. Then, connect the nodes in
+
+block Br to the nodes in block Bs with probability prs. In other words, for each pair of nodes (vi, vj), set the element aij of the adjacency matrix A to 1 with probability p(vi)(vj) and to 0 otherwise, where (vi) is the block of vi. Note that for the sake of clarity, we will obtain all of our results for simple graphs, where edges are undi-
+
+rected and self-loops (edges connecting a node to itself)
+
+are forbidden [35]. This implies that prs = psr and that aii = 0.
+We will think of this process as determining the out-
+
+come of a random variable, whose support is the set of
+
+all networks of n nodes. Due to the independence of
+
+edges, the probability (likelihood) of generating a par-
+
+ticular network G is simply given by the product of
+
+n 2
+
+Bernoulli random variables, i.e.,
+
+P(G|B, P ) = [1 - p(vi)(vj)]1-aij [p(vi)(vj)]aij , (1)
+i prs) or a core-periphery organization [11] (p11 > p12 > p22 and p22  0). However, the SBM really shines when it is used to infer the organization in blocks of the nodes of real complex networks--this was, after all, its original purpose [14].
+To have inferred the mesoscopic structure of a network (with the SBM) essentially means that one has found the partition B and density matrix P  that best describes it. In principle, it is a straightforward task, since one merely needs to (a) assign a likelihood P(B, P |G) to each pair of partition and parameters [see Eqs. (1)�(3)], then (b) search for the most likely pair (B, P ). Since there are exponentially many possible partitions, this sort of enumerative approach is of little practical use. Fortunately, multiple approximate and efficient inference tools have been proposed to circumvent this fundamental problem. They draw on ideas from various fields such as statistical physics [13, 28, 31], Bayesian statistics [17, 37], spectral theory [29, 30, 38, 39], and graph theory [40], to name a few, and they all produce accurate results in general.
+
+C. Detectability and consistency
+One could expect perfect recovery of the parameters and partition from most of these sophisticated algorithms. This is called the consistency property. It turns out, however, that all known inference algorithms for the SBM, as diverse as they might be, fail on this account. And their designs are not at fault, for there exists an explanation of this generalized failure.
+Consider the density matrix of elements prs =  (r, s). It is clear that the block partition is irrelevant--the generated network cannot and will not encode the planted partition. Thus, no algorithm will be abe to differentiate the planted partition from other partitions. It is then natural to assume that inference will be hard or impossible if prs =  + rs(n), where rs(n) is a very small perturbation for networks of n nodes; there is little difference between the uniform case and this perturbed case. In contrast, if the elements of P are widely different from one another, e.g., if prr = 1 and prs = 0 for r = s, then easy recovery should be expected.
+Understanding where lies the transition between these qualitatively different regimes has been the subject of much recent research (see Ref. [23] for a recent survey). As a result, the regimes have been clearly separated as follows: (i) the undetectable regime, (ii) the detectable (but not consistent) regime and (iii) the consistent regime (and detectable). It has further been established that the scaling of  with respect to n determines which regime is reached, in the limit n  .
+The SBM is said to be strongly consistent if its planted partition can be inferred perfectly, with a probability that goes to 1 as n   (it is also said to be in the exact recovery phase). Another close but weaker definition of consistency asks that the probability of misclassifying a node goes to zero with n   (the weakly consistent or almost exact recovery phase). These regimes prevail when P scales at least as fast as P = log(n)C/n, where C is a q � q matrix of constants [25, 26, 41]. Predictably, most algorithms (e.g., those of Refs. [17, 40, 41]) work well in the exact recovery phase regime, since it is the easiest of all .
+In the detectable (but not consistent) regime, exact recovery is no longer possible (the partial recovery phase). The reason is simple: through random fluctuations, some nodes that belong to, say, block B1, end up connecting to other nodes as if they belonged to block B2. They are thus systematically misclassified, no matter the choice of algorithms. This occurs whenever P = C/n, or P = f (n)C/n, with f (n) a function of n that scales slower than log(n).
+The discovery of the third regime--the undetectable regime--arguably rekindled the study of the fundamental limits of the SBM [27, 28]. In this regime, which occurs when P = C/n and C is more or less uniform, it is impossible to detect a partition that is even correlated with the planted one. That is, one cannot classify nodes better than at random, and no information on the planted par-
+
+4
+
+tition can be extracted. Thus, some parametrizations of the SBM are said to lie below the detectability limit. This limit was first investigated with informal arguments from statistical physics [27, 28, 31, 34, 42], and has since been rigorously formalized in Refs. [33, 43], among others.
+There exist many efficient algorithms that are reliable close to the detectability limit; noteworthy examples include belief propagation [28, 31, 44], and spectral algorithms based on the ordinary [29] and weighted [32] non backtracking matrix, as well as matrices of self-avoiding walks [30]. But when the number of blocks is too large, most of these algorithms are known to fail well above the information-theoretic threshold, i.e., the point where it can be proven that the partition is detectable given arbitrary computational power. It has been therefore conjectured in Ref. [31], that there exists multiple troublesome phases for inference: A truly undetectable regime, and a regime where detection is not achievable efficiently. In the latter, it is thought that one can find a good partition, but only by enumerating all partitions--a task of exponential complexity.
+In this contribution, however, we will not focus on this so-called hard regime. As far as we are concerned, detectability will be understood in terms of information, i.e., we will delimit the boundaries of the informationtheoretically undetectable regime.
+III. DETECTABILITY OF FINITE NETWORKS
+
+with the planted partition.
+
+This idea can be translated into a mathematical state-
+
+ment by way of a likelihood test. For a SBM of average
+
+density , call the ensemble of Erdos-R�enyi graphs of
+
+density  the ensemble of equivalent random networks.
+
+Much like the SBM (see Sec. II), its likelihood Q(G|) is
+
+given by the product of the density of
+
+n 2
+
+independent
+
+and identically distributed Bernoulli variables, i.e.,
+
+Q(G|) = aij (1 - )aij = m(1 - )mmax-m , (8)
+i
+
+1
+
+.
+
+(9)
+
+A similar condition has been used in Refs. [43] and [33] to pinpoint the location of the detectability limit in infinite and sparse instances of the SBM. Nothing forbids its application to the finite-size problem; we will see shortly that it serves us well in the context of finite-size detectability.
+
+Detectability and consistency are well-separated phases of the infinite stochastic block model. A minute perturbation to the parameters may potentially translate into widely different qualitative behaviors. The picture changes completely when one turns to finite instances of the model. Random fluctuations are not smoothed out by limits, and transitions are much less abrupt. We argue that, as a result, one has to account for the complete distribution of networks to properly quantify detectability, i.e., define detectability for network instances rather than parameters. This, in turn, commands a different approach that we now introduce.
+A. Hypothesis test and the detectability limit
+Consider a single network G, generated by the SBM with some planted partition B and matrix P = r11 + , where 11 is a matrix of ones, r a constant, and a matrix of (small) fluctuations. Suppose that the average density equals , and consider a second density matrix 11 for which the block structure has no effect on the generative process. If an observer with complete knowledge of the generative process and its parameters cannot tell which density matrix, P or 11 , is the most likely to have generated G, then it is clear that this particular instance does not encode the planted partition. As a result, it will be impossible to detect a partition correlated
+
+B. Normalized log-likelihood ratio
+
+The (equivalent) normalized log-likelihood ratio
+
+L
+
+:=
+
+log  mmax
+
+(10)
+
+will be more practical for our purpose. This simple transformation brings the line of separation between models from  = 1 to L = 0, and prevents the resulting quantity from becoming too large. More importantly, it changes products into sums and allows for a simpler expression,
+
+L=
+rs
+
+mrs mmax
+
+log
+
+prs(1 - ) (1 - prs)
+
++rslog
+
+1 - prs 1-
+
+. (11)
+
+We will focus, for the remainder of this paper, on the
+case where network instances G of n nodes are drawn from the SBM of parameters (B, P ). In this context, L
+can is a random variable whose support is the networks
+of n nodes with labeled nodes (see Fig. 1). Since P , , , and mmax are all parameters, L can also be seen as a
+weighted sum of binomial distributed random variables mrs  Bin(mmrsax, prs), with a constant offset. Its average will be a prediction of the detectability for the ensemble (Sec. IV), and the probability Pr(L < 0; P , , mmax) will
+give the fraction of instances that are undetectable for the
+selected parameters (Sec. V).

Notice that a negative log-likelihood ratio is associated with some instances in (f).
+
+C. Interpretation of L: Information-theoretic bound and inference difficulty
+Because likelihood ratio tests can be understood as quantifying the amount of evidence for a hypothesis (compared to a null hypothesis), there will be two interpretations of L.
+On the one hand, the condition L > 0 will provide a lower bound on detectability; if L(G, B, P ) < 0, then we can safely say that the instance G is informationtheoretically undetectable. However, L(G, B, P ) > 0 does not necessarily mean that the instance is information-theoretically detectable. This is due to the fact that the condition L > 0 is necessary but not sufficient, since we assume a complete knowledge of the generative process in calculating L.
+On the other hand, we will interpret L operationally as a measure of the difficulty of the inference problem (not in the computational sense). A large ratio of a hypothesis H to its null model H0 implies that the hypothesis is a
+
+The average of a log-likelihood ratio is also known as the Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence D(�||�) of two hypotheses [46], i.e.,
+
+L(, P )
+
+=
+
+{G}
+
+P(G|B, P mmax
+
+)
+
+log
+
+P(G|B, P Q(G|)
+
+)
+
+=
+
+D(P||Q) mmax
+
+,
+
+(12)
+
+where the sum runs over all n nodes networks. Since the KL divergence is always greater or equal to zero, with equality if and only if P = Q, and since L > 0 is only a necessary condition for detectability, the average L will not be enough to conclude on detectability of the SBM, except for the case P = Q [47]. Results pertaining to L will therefore be best interpreted in terms of inference difficulty.
+However, even if the average log-likelihood ratio is always positive (assuming P = Q), it can be extremely close to zero for density matrix P "close" to 11 [Fig. 1 (f)]. In fact, as we will see in Sec. V, L(, P )  0 implies that there are instances for which L < 0. Therefore, whenever the average is small, we may also take it as a sign that the planted partition of some instances are truly undetectable.
+
+B. Compact form
+
+While Eq. (12) has a precise information-theoretic interpretation, there exists an equivalent form, both more compact and easier to handle analytically. It is given by
+
+L(, P ) = h() - rsh(prs) ,
+
+(13)
+
+rs
+
+where
+
+h(p) = -(1 - p) log(1 - p) - p log(p)
+
+(14)
+
+is the binary entropy of p  [0, 1]. This expression can be obtained in a number of ways, the most direct of which is to take the average of Eq. (11) over all symmetric matrices m = (m11, m12, . . . , mqq) with entries in N and upper bounds given by mmax = (mm11ax, mm12ax, . . . , mmqqax). That is to say, we use the interpretation where L is a weighted
+
+6
+
+sum of binomial distributed random variable, instead of the interpretation where it is a random variable over the networks of n nodes (see Sec. III B). The probability mass function associated to m is then Pr[m] = rs Pr[mrs], where Pr[mrs] is the binomial distribution of parameter prs and upper bound mmrsax. Due to the linearity of expectations, it is straightforward to check that the average of the first sum of Eq. (11) equals
+
+m
+
+Pr[m]
+
+rs
+
+mrs mmax
+
+log
+
+prs 1 -   1 - prs
+
+= log
+rs
+
+prs 1 -   1 - prs
+
+mmrsaxprs mmax
+
+.
+
+Recalling Eq. (6), one then finds
+
+L(, P ) = - rs (1 - prs) log(1 - )+prs log 
+rs
++ rs[(1 - prs) log(1 - prs)+prs log prs]
+rs
+= h() - rs h(prs) .
+rs
+
+where rs is defined in Eq. (7) with the normalization rs rs = 1. Notice how this expression does not de-
+pend on B anymore. In this context, the only role of the planted partition is to fix the relative block sizes . Thus, the average log-likelihood L of two models with different planted partitions but identical  is the same (up to a size-dependent constant).
+With these two expressions for L in hand [Eqs. (12) and (13)], we can now build an intuition for what the easiest and most difficult detectability problems might look like. The KL divergence is never negative, and Eq. (13) shows that the maximum of L is h(1/2); the average of the normalized log-likelihood is thus confined to the interval
+
+0  L(, P )  h(1/2) .
+
+(15)
+
+An example of parameters that achieves the upper bound
+would be the SBM of density matrix p11 = p22 = 1, p12 = 0, with n = [n/2, n/2], i.e., the "ensemble" of disconnected n/2�cliques (which contains a single instance).
+An example of parameters that achieves the lower bound would be P = Q, but also   0 [see Eq. (13)].
+
+C. Equivalent stochastic block models
+
+We now use Eq. (13) to uncover hidden connections between different regimes of the SBM. Notice how this expression induces equivalence classes in the parameter space of the model, with respect to L , i.e., subsets of parameters that all satisfy
+
+ = L(P , ) ,
+
+(16)
+
+where  is a constant that defines the equivalence class. In the next paragraphs, we will characterize these
+equivalence classes in two complementary ways. First, we will look for global transformations that preserve  and map parameters (, P ) to some other--not necessarily close--pair of parameters ( , P ). Provided that they satisfy a number of standard constraints, these transformations will be shown to correspond to the symmetry group of the set of hypersurfaces L(, P ) = . Second, we will consider Eq. (16) explicitly and use it to obtain an approximate hypersurface equation. This equation will be used in later sections to determine the location of the hypersurfaces that separate the parameter space of the SBM in different detectability phases.
+
+1. Global transformations: The symmetry group of the SBM
+
+We first look for the set of �preserving global transformations, i.e., all transformations T (f1, f2) of the form
+
+ = f1(), P = f2(P )
+
+(17)
+
+valid at every point of the parameter space. This is
+
+a broad definition and it must be restricted if we are
+
+to get anything useful out of it. Intuitively, we do not
+
+want these transformations to change the space on which
+
+they operate, so it is natural to ask that they be space-
+
+preserving. Under the (reasonable) constraint that these
+
+transformations are invertible as well, we can limit our
+
+search for �preserving transformations to the symmetry
+
+group of the parameter space.
+
+We will be able to harness known results of geome-
+
+try and algebra once the parameter space of the SBM
+
+is properly defined. This space is in fact the Cartesian
+
+product of two parameter spaces: The parameter space of  and that of P . Since there is q = q(q + 1)/2 free
+
+parameters in both  and P , the complete space is of dimension 2q - 1. It is the product of the q�dimensional
+
+hypercube--in which every point corresponds to a choice of P --, and the (q - 1)�dimensional simplex--in which
+
+every point corresponds to a choice of . The lat-
+
+ter is a simplex due to the normalization rs rs =
+
+(mmax)-1 Now, the
+
+rs mmrsax = 1. symmetry group
+
+of
+
+the
+
+q�dimensional
+
+hy-
+
+percube and that of the (q -1)�dimensional regular sim-
+
+plex are well-known [48]: They are respectively the hy-
+
+peroctahedral group Bq and the symmetric group Sq . Their action on  and P can be described as
+
+rs  rs = (r,s) , prs  prs = rs + (1 - 2rs)p(r,s) ,
+where rs = {0, 1}, and where both (r, s) and (r, s) are permutations of the indexes (r, s). While the symmetries of L(, P ) are automatically symmetries of the parameters, the converse is not true. We therefore look
+
+7
+
+for transformations T that satisfy
+
+L(, P ) = L f1(), f2(P ) .
+
+(18)
+
+It turns out that this constraint is satisfied if and only if  =  and rs =  (r, s), i.e., for transformations of the form
+
+rs  rs = (r,s) , prs  prs =  + (1 - 2)p(r,s) ,
+
+(19a) (19b)
+
+with  = {0, 1} (see Appendix C 1 for a detailed proof). The permutation component of the symmetry is not to be confused with the symmetries generated by relabeling blocks: The latter only leads to q! different symmetries, whereas the former correctly generates q! q! symmetries, or a total of 2q! symmetries once they are compounded with prs  1 - prs. The symmetries come about because the ordering of summation of the terms rsh(prs) in Eq. (13) does not matter, and both h() and h(prs) are preserved when prs  1 - prs.
+As an example of symmetry, let us focus on the special transformation prs  1 - prs (r, s) with (r, s) = (r, s), i.e., the only transformation that does not change the block structure of the model. Since networks generated by these parameters can be seen as complement of one another (i.e., an edge present in G is absent from G , and vice-versa), we may call this transformation the graph complement transformation. The fact that it preserves detectability can be understood on a more intuitive level with the following argument. Suppose that we are given an unlabeled network G generated by the SBM and that we are asked to confirm or infirm the hypothesis that it was, in fact, generated by the SBM. Even if nothing is known about the generative process, we can take the complement of the network--a trivial (and reversible) transformation. But this should not help our cause. After all, this transformation cannot enhance or worsen detectability since no information is added to or removed from G in the process. So we expect that  be preserved, and it is. Because all other symmetries affect the block structure through a change of , what the above result shows is that there is no other "information-preserving" transformation that can be applied to G without a prior knowledge of its planted partition.
+
+2. Hypersurfaces and detectability regions
+We now turn to the problem of finding compact and explicit formulas that describe the hypersurfaces of constant L in the parameter space [see Eq. (16)]. In so doing we will have to be mindful of the fact that the scale mmax intervenes in the calculation, even though it is absent from our expression for L . This can be made explicit by rewriting Eq. (16) as log  /mmax = ; it is easy to see that any given hypersurface will be comparatively closer to the region L = 0 in larger networks. We focus on the universal behavior of the hypersurfaces
+
+and remove all references to the scale of the problem by defining  := mmax--predictions for real systems can be recovered by reverting to the correct scale.
+While Eq. (16) is easily stated, it is not easily solved for, say, {prs}. The average normalized log-likelihood ratio involves a sum of logarithmic terms; the hypersurface equation is thus transcendental. To further complicate matters, there are 2q - 1 = q(q - 1) - 1 degrees of freedom and the number of free parameters grow quadratically with q. As a result, little can be said of truly general instances of the SBM--at least analytically. All is not hopeless, however, because there are approximation methods that work well when the number of free parameters is not too large. We sketch the idea here and apply it to a simpler variant of the SBM in the case study of Sec. VI.
+Expanding the binary entropy functions h(prs) around prs =  r  s drastically simplifies the hypersurface equation. Leaving the term h() untouched, we find from Eq. (16)
+
+ = h() - rs
+rs
+
+
+h() +
+k=1
+
+1 kh(x) k! xk
+
+(prs
+x=
+
+- )k
+
+.
+
+Due to the normalization of {rs}rs, all terms in h() cancel out, and the definition rs rsprs =  allows us to eliminate the first order terms as well. We are
+therefore left with
+
+2(1 - ) = rs(prs - )2 + O[(prs - )3] , (20)
+rs
+
+where  is fixed and (, P ) take on values constrained by both Eqs. (6) and (20). We then resort to a change of parameters and choose (P , ) as one of the parameters. Selecting the q -1 other parameters rs such that prs = (P , ) + rs(P , ), we obtain the form
+
+2(1 - ) = rs(rs)2 .
+
+(21)
+
+rs
+
+Hypersurfaces are therefore ellipsoids when prs   (r, s).
+Besides the simplicity of Eq. (21), there are two addi-
+tional arguments for dropping the higher order terms in
+Eq. (20). One, the series is invariant under the symmetry prs  1 - prs (r, s) only if we limit ourselves to the second-order expression: It is easily verified that
+
+ k h(x) xk
+
+(prs - )k
+x=
+
+= (-1)k(k - 2)!
+
+(
+
+1 - 1)k-1
+
+-
+
+1 ()k-1
+
+(prs - )k
+
+is off by a sign for odd powers of k under the mapping prs  1 - prs, which also implies   1 - . Two, the true hypersurfaces enclose sets of parameters which are
+convex with respect to P , and so does the hypersurface
+
+8
+
+implicitly defined in Eq. (20). The convexity of the hypersurface follows from the fact that the sublevel set of a convex function encloses a convex set [49], and from the observation that L is convex with respect to P [this is easy to show with Eq. (13) and the log-sum inequality; see Appendix C 2]. The convexity of the approximate level set is trivial to the second order, since it is an ellipsoid [Eq. (21)]. However, the approximate level set need not be convex when higher order terms are included. Together, these two observations tell us that while not exact, Eq. (20) captures the important qualitative features of the problem and that it is not necessarily true of approximate solutions with only a few extra terms.
+V. DETECTABILITY DISTRIBUTION
+In the previous section, we have computed the average L and used it to obtain equivalence among the parameters, with respect to detectability. We have also shown that L > 0 for most parameters, i.e., that we could not use the necessary condition L > 0 to conclude on the undetectability of the finite SBM, on average. As we will now argue, this conclusion must be further refined; the full distribution of L leads to a more accurate picture of detectability.

+FIG. 2. Accuracy of the CLT approximation for the (a) non uniform and (b) nearly uniform SBM of Fig. 1. Both histograms aggregate 100 000 samples of L. The prediction of the CLT is shown in red [see Eqs. (23b)�(23e)]. We plot for comparison the Gaussian kernel density estimate (KDE) of () (dashed black line, hidden by the CLT curve). Equation (25) predicts (a) = 1 and (b) = 0.981(2); for the sample shown, numerical estimates yield ^(a) = 1 and ^(b) = 0.980(7).
+
+A. The whole picture: �detectability
+
+Consider a parametrization (B, 11 + ) of the SBM that yields L  0. Turning to the distribution of L for this parametrization, one expects to find L < 0 with non-zero probability (unless the distribution of L concentrates on L = 0). Therefore, L could be indicative of detectability for some fraction of the networks generated by the SBM.
+Let us formalize this notion and introduce the concept of �detectability. We will say that the ensemble of networks generated with the SBM of parameters (B, P ) is �detectable if
+
+Pr(L < 0; B, P ) = 1 -  .
+
+(22)
+
+That is,  gives the fraction of networks in the ensemble which evades the necessary condition for undetectability. If   0, then detection is impossible, in the sense that most instances are best described by the null hypothesis Q. If   1, then most instances contain statistical evidence for B; detection cannot be ruled out on the basis of the log-likelihood test.
+We must compute the complete distribution or the cumulative distribution function of L to determine . An exact result is out of reach since the outcome of L is determined by a weighted sum of independent binomial variables with non-identical distributions. In the following paragraphs, we give an approximate derivation based on the central limit theorem--it agrees extremely well with empirical results for all but the smallest networks.
+
+B. Approximate equation for 
+
+Equation (11) gives the normalized log-likelihood ratio as a sum of independent binomial random variables; it can be written as

+and where mrs  Bin(prs, mmrsax).
+The central limit theorem (CLT) predicts that the distribution of an appropriately rescaled and centered transformation of L will converge to the normal distribution N (0, 1) if the number of summed random variables q = q(q + 1)/2 goes to infinity. In the finite case, q obviously violates the conditions of the CLT, but it nonetheless offers a good approximation of the distribution of L (see Fig. 2).
+To apply the CLT, we first define the centered and
+
+9
+
+normalized variable Z = (L - C - �q )/Sq , where
+
+Sq2 =

+
+ h() - rsh(prs) - C (23e)
+rs
+
+is the sum of their means [we have used Eq. (13) in the last step]. The CLT then tells us that Z  N (0, 1), approximately.
+Recall that the cumulative distribution function of a normal random variable can be expressed in terms of the error function as
+

+

+

+
+1 2
+

+
+(24)
+
+Now, assuming that Z is indeed normally distributed we can use the fact that Pr(L < 0) is equivalent to Pr[Z < -(C + �q )/Sq ] to compute . Writing �q + C as L [see Eq. (23e)], we find
+
+
+
+
+
+1 2
+
+1 + erf
+
+L 2Sq
+
+,
+
+(25)
+
+i.e., an (approximate) equation in closed form for . Crucially, Eq. (25) predicts that  can never be smaller
+than 1/2. This comes about because (i) L > 0 and (ii) Sq is a sum of variances, i.e., a positive quantity. There are therefore two possible limits which will yield L /Sq  0 and  = 1/2: Either L = 0 or Sq 0. Some care must be exerted in analyzing the case L = 0; Eqs. (11) and (12) tell us that the distribution of L is concentrated on 0 when its average is exactly equal to 0. We conclude that  = 1/2 is never reached but only approached asymptotically, for parameters that yield L = , with  small but different from zero. The consequence of   1/2 is that at most half of the instances of the SBM can be declared undetectable on the account of the condition L < 0.
+
+C. Relation between average detectability and �detectability
+We can immediately reach a few conclusions on the interplay between the notions of average and � detectability. First, the symmetries of L , (see Sec. IV C 1) translates into symmetries for . To see
+
+this, first notice that Sq is conserved under the mapping prs  1 - prs
+[xrs(prs, )]2  [-xrs(1 - prs, 1 - )]2 , prs(1 - prs)  (1 - prs)prs .
+
+and that a permutation of the indexes (r, s) only changes the order of summation of the terms of Sq . Second, hypersurfaces of constant average detectability need not be hypersurfaces of constant �detectability.
+To investigate this second important aspect of the connection between average detectability and � detectability, let us further approximate Eq. (25). The MacLaurin series of the error function is, to the first order,
+
+ = 1 1 + 2 L - O
+
+2
+
+ Sq
+
+ 1 L + 1 . 2 Sq 2
+
+L 3/Sq3
+
+, (26)
+
+This is a reasonably accurate calculation of  when L is small, i.e., close to the average undetectable regime. (Recall that we do not allow diverging Sq for the reasons stated in Sec. V B). It then becomes clear that on the hypersurfaces where L =  is constant (and close to 0),
+
+ 2
+
+
+
+-
+
+1 2
+
+Sq =  ,
+
+(27)
+
+is conserved rather than  itself. Equation (27) embodies a trade-off between accuracy () and variance (Sq ): In the regions of the hypersurface of constant L where the variance is large,  must be comparatively small, and vice-versa.
+
+D. 1�detectability
+
+Now, turning to the complementary case where L --
+
+and consequently --is close to its maximum, we obtain a
+
+simple criterion for 1�detectability based the asymptotic
+
+behavior of erf(x). It is reasonable to define a (small)
+
+threshold T beyond which erf(x > T ) = 1 for all practi-
+
+cal purposes. The error function goes asymptotically to
+
+1 with large values of its argument, but reaches its max-
+
+imum of erf(x) = 1 very quickly, so quickly, in fact, that erf(5) is numerically equal to 1 to the 10th decimal place.
+
+Asking that the argument of erf(x) in Eq. (25) be
+
+greater than this practical threshold, we obtain the in-
+
+equality
+
+
+
+L  2T Sq
+
+(28)
+
+for 1�detectability. Whenever the inequality holds, the associated ensemble is 1�detectable with a tolerance threshold T , i.e., we can say that for all practical purposes, there are no instances of the SBM that are necessarily [50] undetectable.

+
+VI. CASE STUDY: GENERAL MODULAR GRAPHS
+The stochastic block model encompasses quite a few well-known models as special cases; noteworthy examples include the planted partition model [40, 51], the closely related symmetric SBM (SSBM) [26, 28, 52], the coreperiphery model [11], and many more. These simplified models are important for two reasons. One, they are good abstractions of structural patterns found in real networks, and a complete understanding of their behavior with respect to detectability is therefore crucial. Two, they are simple enough to lend themselves to a thorough analysis; this contrasts with the general case, where simple analytical expressions are hard to come by.
+In the paragraphs that follow, we investigate the general modular graph model (GMGM) [34], a mathematically simple, yet phenomenologically rich simplified model. Thanks to its simpler parametrization, we obtain easily interpretable versions of the expressions and results derived in Secs. III�V.
+
+A. Parametrization of general modular graphs
+
+The GMGM can be seen as constrained version of the
+SBM, in which pairs of blocks assume one of two roles:
+Inner or outer pairs. If a pair of blocks (Br, Bs) is of the "inner type", then one sets prs = pin. If a pair of blocks (Br, Bs) is of the "outer type", then one sets prs = pout. The resulting density matrices can therefore be expressed
+as
+
+P = (pin - pout)W + pout11 ,
+
+(29)
+
+where W is a q � q indicator matrix [wrs = 1 if (Br, Bs) is an inner pair], and where 1 is a length q vector of ones. A non-trivial example of a density matrix of this form is shown in Fig. 3 (a). The figure is meant to illustrate just how diverse the networks generated by the GMGM may be, but it is also important to note that the results of this section apply to any ensemble whose density matrix can be written as in Eq. (29). This includes, for example, the q�block SSBM, a special case of the GMGM obtained by setting W = Iq and {nr = n/q}r=1,..,q (see Ref. [23] for a discussion of the SSBM).
+While the parametrization in terms of pin and pout is simple, we will prefer an arguably more convoluted parametrization which is also more revealing of the natural symmetries of the GMGM (in line with the transformation proposed in Sec. IV C 2). The first natural parameter is the average density, which can be computed from Eqs. (6) and (29) and which equals
+
+ = rs[wrspin + (1 - wrs)pout] ,
+rs
+= pin + (1 - )pout ,
+
+(30a)
+
+where  := rs rswrs is the fraction of potential edges that falls between block pairs of the inner type. The second natural parameter is simply the difference
+
+ = pin - pout .
+
+(30b)
+
+The absolute value of  quantifies the distance between the parameters of the GMGM and that of the equivalent random ensemble; its sign tells us which type of pairs is more densely connected. In this natural parametrization, the density matrix takes on the form P = 11 + (1 - )W , i.e., a uniform matrix of  with perturbation proportional to (1-) for the inner pairs. It might appear that we have increased the complexity of the model description, since the additional parameter  now appears in the definition of the density matrix. It is, however, not the case, because we could consider the
+combined parameter  = (1-). Therefore, Eqs. (30a) and (30b), together with W and n, suffice to unambiguously parametrize the model.
+
+B. Average detectability of general modular graphs
+The average normalized log-likelihood ratio L is tremendously simplified in the natural parametrization of the GMGM; it is straightforward to show that the ratio takes on the compact (and symmetric) form
+
+L(, ; ) =  h() - h  + (1 - ) + (1 - ) h() - h  -  , (31)
+
+by using prs = wrspin + (1 - wrs)pout together with the inverse of Eqs. (30a) and (30b),
+
+pin =  + (1 - ) , pout =  -  .
+
+(32a) (32b)
+
+In Fig. 3 (b), we plot L(, ; ) in the (, ) space-- hereafter the density space--for the indicator matrix W shown in Fig. 3 (a) (and unequal block sizes, see caption). Unsurprisingly, L is largest when the block types are clearly separated from one another, i.e., when || is the largest. Notice, however, how large separations are not achievable for dense or sparse networks. This is due to the fact that not all (, ) pairs map to probabilities (pin, pout) in [0, 1]. The region of the density space that does yield probabilities is the interior of the quadrilateral whose vertices are, in (, ) coordinates: (0, 0), (, 1), (1, 0), (1 - , -1). Changing the value of  skews this accessible region and, presumably, the functions that are defined on it, such as L(, ; ) .
+We also show on Fig. 3 (b) two members of the level set defined by L(, ; ) = . As mentioned previously, the exact functional form of this family of hypersurfaces (here simply curves) seems elusive, but an approximate

+when  is small. But it also highlights its inaccuracy when  is large;  1 forces (; , ) to pass through a region where   1, i.e., a region where the omitted terms on the right-hand-side of Eq. (33) contribute heavily. Fortunately, this is not so problematic, since most detectability related phenomena--phase transitions, undetectable instances, etc.--arise near  = 0, i.e., where the approximation works.
+
+C. �detectability of general modular graphs
+While L(, ; ) takes on a particularly compact form once we substitute {prs} by the natural parameters of the GMGM, the same cannot be said of (, ; , n). Some analytical progress can be made by, e.g., noticing that only two types of terms are involved in the calculation of Sq , but, ultimately, the resulting expression is no more useful than the simple Eqs. (25) and (26). We will, therefore, omit the calculation of .
+In Fig. 3 (c) we plot (, ; , n) in the density space [using Eq. (25)]. We also display the numerical solutions of (, ; , n) =  for two values of . The figure
+
+highlights just how quickly  goes to 1 as a function of , even for the fairly small system sizes considered: We find that   0.99 for any value of , as soon as  > 0.06. The condition in Eq. (9) is therefore a weak one. It allows us to determine that some parameters are overwhelmingly undetectable, but only when  is very close to 0.
+Figure 3 also shows how increases in variance translate into decreases in accuracy [see Eq. (27)]: Following a line of constant (and relatively small) , one can see that  is minimized close to  = 1/2, i.e., near the maximum of variance. This is characteristic of many parametrizations of the SBM and GMGM; it turns out that, for fixed n, impossible detection problems are not confined to vanishing densities. In fact, values of  closer to 1/2 are associated with a comparatively larger interval of  for which detection is impossible.
+
+D. Symmetries of general modular graphs
+
+In Secs. IV and V, we have proved that there are 2q! transformations that preserve L(, ; ) and (, ; , n). We could therefore go about computing the symmetries of the GMGM by listing all of these transformations in terms of (, , ). But since there are only three free parameters in the GMGM, we can also choose an alternative route and directly solve L(, ; ) = L(a1 + b1, a2 + b2; a3 + b3) by, e.g., obtaining a linear system from the Taylor series of L(, ; ) . This simpler approach yields the following set of �preserving transformations for the model:
+
+(, , )  (, , ) , (, , )  (, -, 1 - ) , (, , )  (1 - , , 1 - ) , (, , )  (1 - , -, ) .
+
+(35a) (35b) (35c) (35d)
+
+12
+
+It is straightforward to check that these transformations form a group, whose product is the composition of two transformations. A Cayley table reveals that the group is isomorphic to the Klein four-group Z2 � Z2.
+One immediately notices a large gap between the number of symmetries predicted by the calculations of Sec. IV C 1 (2q!) and the number of symmetries appearing in Eq. (35) (4, independent of q). The gap is explained by the fact that every symmetry of the general SBM maps onto one of the four transformations listed in Eq. (35) [53] A sizable fraction of the symmetries reduce to Eq (35a), since permutations (r, s) cannot modify the natural parameters of the GMGM: The type of block pair (Br, Bs)--characterized by prs--is permuted alongside its share of potential edges rs. Another important fraction of the symmetries is accounted for by the "graph complement transformation": Any transformation P = 11 - P plus a permutation reduces to Eq. (35d). This leaves two symmetries, which happen to be artifacts of our choice of nomenclature. To see this, rename pair types, i.e., call inner pairs "outer pairs" and vice-versa. Neither the density  nor || will change. But both the sign of  and the value of  will be altered. With this in mind, it becomes clear that Eq. (35b) corresponds to the permutation symmetry, and that Eq. (35c) corresponds to the graph complement symmetry, both up to a renaming of the types.
+
+E. Where the framework is put to the test: Inference
+
+1. Procedure
+
+It will be instructive to put our framework to the test and compare its predictions with numerical experiments that involve inference, i.e., the detection of the planted partition of actual instances of the GMGM. We will use the following procedure: (i) generate an instance of the model, (ii) run an inference algorithm on the instance, and (iii) compute the correlation of the inferred and planted partition (see below for a precise definition). The average detectability L should bound the point where the average correlation becomes significant, and �detectability should give an upper bound on the fraction of correlated instances.
+Even for the small size considered, it is impossible to compute all quantities involved in the process exactly; we therefore resort to sub-sampling. We use an efficient algorithm [54] based on the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm of Ref. [17], which, unlike belief propagation [28], works well for dense networks with many short loops. The principle of the algorithm is to construct an ergodic chain of partitions B0, ..., BT , and to sample from the chain to approximate the probability
+
+�ri (G) =
+
+Pr(B|G, P , n)((vi) = r)
+
+(36)
+
+{B }
+
+that node vi is in block Br, given a network G and some parameter P and n. It is easy to see that one can then maximize the probability of guessing the partition correctly by assigning nodes according to [31]
+
+^(vi) = argmaxr(�ri ) .
+
+(37)
+
+We choose a simple set of moves that yields an ergodic
+chain over all {B}: at each step, we change the block of
+a randomly selected node vi from (vi) = Br to a randomly and uniformly selected block Bs, with probability min{1, A}, where
+
+A=
+
+prs(1 - prr) kr(i) pss(1 - prs) ks(i)

+
+(38)
+
+and kl(i) the number of neighbors of node vi in block Bl [17]. The space of all partitions is obviously connected by this move set, and the possibility of resampling a configuration ensures that the chain is aperiodic. Furthermore, since transition probabilities are constructed according to the prescription Metropolis-Hastings, the chain is ergodic and samples from P(B|G, P , n). Note that we assume that P is known when we compute Eq. (36). Learning the parameters can be done separately, see Ref. [31], for example.
+In the spirit of Refs. [28, 31], we initialize the algorithm with the planted partition itself. This ensures that we will achieve the information-theoretic threshold, even if efficient inference is impossible [31]. To see this, first consider the case where the planted partition is information-theoretically detectable. In this case, the chain will concentrate around the initial configuration, and the marginal distribution [Eq. (36)] will yield a distribution correlated with the planted partition. We will have to proceed with care, however, since two scenarios may occur in the information-theoretically undetectable phase. If there is no hard phase--e.g., when q = 2 [32]--, the algorithm will show no particular preference for the initial configuration and wander away toward partitions uncorrelated with the planted partition. But if there is a hard phase, one will have to wait for a period that diverges exponentially in the system size before the sampler becomes uncorrelated with its initial state [31]. This complicates convergence diagnosis and can lead one to conclude that correlated inference is possible even though it's not. To avoid these difficulties, we will simply restrict ourselves to the cases where the hard phase does not exist [23].
+Once the estimated partition B^ is obtained via Eq. (37), we compute its correlation with B--the planted partition--using a measure that accounts for finite-size
+
+13
+
+effects. The so-called relative normalized mutual information (rNMI) of Ref. [55] appears a good choice. Much like the well-known NMI [56, 57], the rNMI is bounded to the [0, 1] interval, and rNMI(Bp, B^) = 1 means that the planted partition Bp and the inferred partition B^ are identical. Unlike the NMI, rNMI(Bp, B^) = 0 signals the absence of correlation between the two partitions, even in finite networks.
+2. Results
+In Fig. 4 (a), we plot rNMI(Bp, B^) in the density space of the GMGM. We use the parameters W = I, and n = [n/2, n/2] (i.e., the SSBM), since the resulting ensemble is conjectured to be the hardest of all, with respect to detectability [31]. Two important parallels can be drawn between the results shown in Fig. 4 (a) and the functional form of L(, ; ) and (, ; , n) [shown in Figs. 3 (b) and 3 (c) for a different GMGM]. First, notice how the boundary that marks the onset of the (theoretically) 1�detectable region partitions the density space in two qualitative regimes: A regime where perfect detection is possible for all instances, and a region where it is not. There is, of course, some level of arbitrariness involved in selecting the threshold T [see Eq. (28)]. But the fact that a line of constant  partitions the space is a hint that while L < 0 is not sufficient for undetectability, there exists a level of significant  for which L properly separates detectable and undetectable instances.
+The second important parallel concerns hypersurfaces of constant L and their connection with rNMI . We have argued in Sec. IV that L is a good predictor of the accuracy of an optimal inference algorithms (with potentially exponential complexity). It should, therefore, not be surprising that there is an hypersurface of constant L which also partitions the density space in two qualitative regions [58]: One where rNMI  0 and one where rNMI is clearly greater than zero. On this hypersurface, the average level of significance is the same for all parametrizations of the GMGM; our results show that the inference algorithm achieves correspondingly uniform accuracy for all parameters on the surface.
+One could argue that these parallels are not so obvious in Fig. 4 (a); we therefore focus on a subset of the density space in Figs. 4 (b) and 4 (c) to make our case clearer. In these figures, we plot the same information, but only for networks of constant density  = 0.25 and size n = 100 (b) and n = 500 (c). We also show the probability Pr(rNMI(Bp, B^) > 0) that the inferred partition is correlated with the planted partition. This a direct measurement of the fraction of detectable instances, which we compare against (; , , n). It never reaches 0, because random fluctuations produce correlated partitions even when P = Q (the rNMI corrects for the average correlation). If L > 0 were a necessary and sufficient condition for detectability, then (; , , n) and

+FIG. 4. Inference of the GMGM. All figures show results for the special case q = 2, W = I2, and n = [n/2, n/2], corresponding to the q = 2 SSBM [23]. All empirical results are averaged over 104 independent instances of the SBM. (a) Average rNMI of the planted and the inferred partition in the density space of the model of size n = 100. Solid red lines mark the boundariesof the 1�detectability region, with tolerance threshold T = 4 2; see Eq. (28). Dotted black lines show the two solutions of (;  = 1/2n, ); see Eq. (34). White lines show the finite-size Kesten-Stigum (KS) bound, before it is adjusted for the symmetries of the problem. (b, c) Phase transition at constant  = 0.25 for networks of n = 100 nodes (b) and n = 500 nodes (c). Circles indicate the fraction of instances for which a correlated partition could be identified, while diamonds show the average of the rNMI (lines are added to guide the eye). Blue solid curves show (; , , n); see Eq. (25). The shaded region lies below the
+finite-size KS bound  = �q /n (here with q = 2). The dotted lines show the two solutions of (;  = 1/2n,  = 1/2).
+
+Pr(rNMI > 0|, , , n) would correspond perfectly. But since L > 0 is only a necessary condition, () acts as an upper bound rather than an exact expression, i.e.,
+
+14
+
+Pr(rNMI > 0; ) can never be greater than (). Two further observations must be made. First, it is
+known that in the sparse two-blocks SSBM, the transition between the information-theoretically undetectable and detectable regions occurs on the so-called Kesten-Stigum (KS) bound--located at  = �q /n for finite-size instances (this is not generally true, but the equivalence holds when q = 2 [32]). Despite the fact that this bound was derived for infinite ensembles, it holds very well in the finite case, as shown in Figs. 4 (b) and 4 (c). But the finite-size approach has the potential to be more precise. Building upon the interpretation of L as a measure of the average difficulty of the inference problem, we set a threshold L = 1/2n on the average detectability. For this choice of threshold, the approximate hypersurface equation predicts a transition at
+ = �2 (1 - )/n ,
+very close to the KS bound, but with a correction for nonvanishing densities. Interestingly, one can motivate this choice of threshold with random matrix theory [52, 59, 60] (see Appendix B for details) or the theory of low-rank matrix estimation [61]. The uncorrected and corrected bounds are shown on Fig. 4 (a). The corrected bound is qualitatively accurate in all density regimes, unlike the KS bound.
+Second, in asymptotic theories, the SBM is either said to be undetectable with overwhelming probability, or the converse. The finite-size approach is more nuanced in the sense that it accounts for random fluctuations, which are also manifest in empirical results [see the curves Pr(rNMI(Bp, B^) > 0)]. While �detectability is not perfect, as is argued above, it nonetheless goes through a smooth transition instead of an abrupt one. This reflects the continuous nature of the finite-size transition.
+
+correspondence with the finite-size information-theoretic threshold (as well as with random matrix theory, see Appendix B), we have presented numerical evidence that the hypersurface L = 1/2n separates detectable from undetectable instances in a special case of the SBM.
+The unifying theme of this contribution has been the idea that L quantifies both detectability and consistency in the finite-size SBM. This interpretation leaves many questions open for future works. Perhaps the most important of all: Can one determine the threshold within the framework of the theory itself, for general SBM?
+A second important question pertains to sufficiency: Can one modify the condition to make it necessary and sufficient? Or is a completely different approach needed? In asymptotic analyses of the limit, one can use different conditions to bound the limit from above and below, as is done in Ref. [33]. Can a similar approach be fruitfully applied to finite instances?
+In closing, let us mention a few of the many possible generalizations of the methods introduced. First, it will be important to verify how our approach behaves in the limit n  . How this limit is taken will matter. In particular, we believe that our framework has much to say about the limit where q  , since it does not assume Poisson distributed degree, unlike other asymptotic theories of the limit. Second, we see no major obstacle to a generalization of our methods to other generative models of networks with a mesoscopic structure. This includes, for example, the consistency of graphons, a subject whose study has been recently undertaken [62]. Changing the null model from the equivalent random network ensemble to the configuration model [63, 64] could even allow an extension to degree-corrected SBM [65].

+VII. CONCLUSION
+Building upon ideas from statistical theory, we have developed a framework to study the information-theoretic detectability threshold of the finite-size SBM. Our analysis relies on two different interpretations of the loglikelihood ratio L of the SBM and its equivalent random ensemble. We have used the rigorous interpretation of L to put a necessary condition on detectability. We have then computed the distribution of L, and proved that up to half of the instances of the finite-size SBM could be declared undetectable on the basis of this simple test alone. We have further argued that the average of L could be interpreted as a proxy for the performance of an optimal inference algorithm (with possibly exponential running time). This interpretation has proved to be fruitful; starting with a compact form for L , we have established the existence of a large equivalence class with respect to average detectability. In Appendix A, we have shown that L can also be used to prove that, quite naturally, detectability decreases when the datasets are noisy. Using a

+Appendix A: Detectability and noise
+One almost never has a perfect knowledge of the structure of real networks. The culprit can lie at the level of data collection, storage, transmission--or a combination of the above--, but the outcome is the same: Some edges are spurious and others are omitted [66]. To model imperfect knowledge, we will suppose that instances of the SBM first go through a noisy channel where
+
+15
+
+T modifications--random edge removals or additions-- are applied to the structure. Only then are we asked to tell which of hypotheses P and Q is the most likely. It should be clear that it will be more difficult to separate the two hypotheses, since noise is not necessarily aligned with the planted partition.
+We will approach the problem with the following universal perturbation process (UPP): At each step t of this process, a new random edge is added with probability c; otherwise, a random edge is removed. If a new edge must be added, then it is selected uniformly from the set of nonedges. If an edge must be removed, then it is selected uniformly from the set of edges already present in the network. This randomization step is then repeated T times. We call this process universal because one can map arbitrary perturbation patterns onto one or successive UPPs with different parameters c.
+To prove that L decreases as a result of any sufficiently long UPP, we will show that the total derivative
+
+d dt
+
+L
+
+=
+
+rs
+
+L prs
+
+dprs(t) dt
+
+(A1)
+
+is negative everywhere. In so doing, we assume that the process can be approximated as a continuous one (both with regards to "time" t and discrete quantities such as mrs). Admittedly, a more rigorous approach would be needed to settle the matter unequivocally, but we argue that the method presented in this appendix gives a good intuition for the problem.
+Without specifying the dynamics, and using Eq. (13), one can compute
+
+L prs
+
+= rs log
+
+prs 1 -   1 - prs
+
+= rsxrs ,
+
+(A2)
+
+where xrs is identical to Eq. (23b). This leaves the prs(t) terms, whose expressions are determined by the perturbation dynamics. For the UPP, the evolution of
+
+{mrs(t)}rs is determined by the set of differential equations
+
+m rs(t)
+

+

+- c)[mrs(t)] rs mrs(t)
+
++
+
+c [mmrsax mmax -
+
+- mrs(t)] rs mrs(t)
+
+.
+
+(A3)
+
+The first term accounts for edge removal events, which
+occur with probability (1 - c) and involve edges that
+connect nodes in blocks (Br, Bs) with probability mrs/ mrs(t). A similar argument leads to the second term, which accounts for edge creation events.
+Equation (A3) can be transformed into an equation for prs(t) by dividing through by mmrsax, and then using the definitions prs(t) = mrs(t)/mmrsax and (t) =
+rs mrs(t)/mmax. We find
+
+prs(t) =

+

+
+1 - prs(t) 1 - (t)
+

+(A5)
+
+where  = [2(1 - c)prs]/[n(n - 1)] is a nonnegative factor, and where we have defined f (x) = x/(1 - x). It
+turns out that the sum is not only globally negative but
+that each term is also individually negative; i.e.,

+
+f (c)f () f (prs)
+
+-

+r  s. (A6)
+
+This comes about because the sign of the logarithm always matches that of the bracket.
+To prove this statement, we treat five different cases and use the following identities repeatedly:
+
+f (x) f (y)
+
+<

+
+f (c)f () f (prs)

+
+(1
+
+-
+
+prs(1 - ) prs) + prs(1

+
+)
+
+.
+
+The cases are:
+
+(A7) (A8)
+
+1. If  = prs: The logarithm equals 0 and the upper bound of Eq. (A6) holds.
+
+2. If prs <  and c < 1/2: The logarithm is positive [see Eq. (A7)]. The bracket is also positive, since the inequality in Eq. (A8) can be rewritten as (1 - )prs  (1 - prs) using the fact that c < 1/2. This simplifies to prs  , in line with our premise.
+3. If prs <  and c  1/2: The logarithm is positive. Using our premise, we conclude that f ()/f (prs) > 1 and f (c)  1. Therefore, f (c)f ()/f (prs) > 1, i.e., the bracket is positive.
+
+4. If prs >  and c  1/2: The logarithm is negative. Using our premise, we conclude that f ()/f (prs) < 1 and f (c)  1. Therefore, f (c)f ()/f (prs) < 1, i.e., the bracket is negative.
+
+5. If prs >  and c > 1/2: The logarithm is negative. The bracket is also negative, since the converse of the inequality in Eq. (A8) can be rewritten as (1 - )prs  (1 - prs) using the fact that c > 1/2. This simplifies to prs  , in line with our premise.
+This list covers all cases and therefore completes the proof that d L /dt  0, i.e., that average detectability decreases as a result of the application of a UPP.
+
+Appendix B: Connection with random matrix theory
+
+In Refs. [52, 60] it is argued that SBM is not efficiently detectable when the extremal eigenvalues of the modularity matrix of its instances merge with the so-called "continuous eigenvalue band." It is proved in Ref. [52] that this occurs when
+
+n(pin

+�
+
+1 n
+
+2n(pin + pout) ,
+
+(B1)
+
+for the two-block SSBM with Poisson distributed degrees. Furthermore, in this case, there is no so-called hard phase [32], meaning that the above limit affords a comparison with the prediction if our information theoretic framework.
+Since we are concerned with the finite case, let us first modify this result to account for binomial distributed degrees instead. It turns out that the corrected condition is found by substituting the expectations of Poisson variables [in the right-hand-side of Eq. (B1)] by that of binomial variables. This leads to
+
+(pin
+
+-
+
+pout)
+

+
+�
+

+
+)
+
+.
+
+(B3)
+
+This equation bears a striking similarity with Eq. (34), our approximate equation for curves of constant L . In fact, for the two-block SSBM (  1/2), the latter reads
+
+ = � 8(1 - ) .
+
+(B4)
+
+One obtains an exact equivalence between the two expressions by setting  = 1/2(n - 1)  1/2n. The fact that modularity based spectral methods cannot infer a correlated partition if    [Eq. (B3)] can thus be understood as stemming from a lack of statistical evidence for the SBM.
+
+Appendix C: Detailed proofs
+
+1. Symmetries of the average detectability
+
+Theorem 1 (�preserving symmetries). All transformations T (, P ) of the parameter space of the SBM that are (i) reversible, (ii) space-preserving, and (iii) valid at ev-
+ery point of the parameter space can be written as
+
+prs  prs = rs + (1 - 2rs)p(r,s) , rs  rs = (r,s) ,
+
+(C1a) (C1b)
+
+where rs  {0, 1} and where  and  are permutations that acts on the set {(r, s) | 1  r,  s  g }. Under the additional constraint that L(, P ) be preserved by {T }
+and equal to , one must have
+
+ =  and rs =  (r, s) .
+
+Let us first introduce new notations to clarify the proof
+
+of Theorem 1. First, we define vectors |p and | whose
+
+entries are the q =
+
+q 2
+
++ q entries of the upper triangle
+
+(and diagonal) of P and . In this notation, we write the
+
+average density as |p and the average detectability as
+
+L(, P ) = |u(, P ) ,
+
+(C2)
+
+16
+
+where |u(, P ) is q�dimensional vector parametrized by (, P ), whose entries are given by
+
+urs(, P ) = prs log
+
+prs |p
+
++
+
+(1
+
+-
+
+prs)
+
+log
+
+1- 1-
+
+prs |p
+
+.
+
+We also introduce  and , two q �q permutation ma-
+trices such that  | rs = (r,s) and  |p rs = p(r,s), where |a ij is the element (i, j) of vector |a . In this notation, Eqs. (C1) are given by
+
+|  | =  | , |p  |p =  |1 + (I - 2) |p
+  |1 + (I - 2 ) |p ,
+
+where  is a diagonal matrix with element rs on the diagonal, where I is the identity matrix, and where  = -1 is also a diagonal matrix.
+Proof. The proof of the first part of Theorem 1 (form of the transformations) is given in the main text, see Sec. IV C 1.
+To prove the second part of the theorem (constrained transformations), we look for the subset of all transformations of the form shown in Eq. (C1) that also preserve L , i.e., transformations T in Sq � Bq that map (, P ) to ( , P ) and that satisfy
+
+|u(, P ) =  |u( , P ) .
+
+It is easy to check that if  =  and  = I with   {0, 1}, then the average density and the normalized log-likelihood are both preserved. Therefore, if the transformations are of the proposed form, then  is preserved.
+To complete the proof we must show that L is conserved only if  = I and  = . First, we note that by the properties of the scalar product and permutation matrices, we have the following obvious symmetry
+
+|u = |u ,
+
+which is valid for all permutation matrices . We use this symmetry to "shift" all permutation matrices to the second part of the scalar product representation of L , i.e., we write
+|u   |u = |u = |-1u .
+
+Now, from Eq. (C2), it is clear that we will have L(, P ) = L( , P ) if and only if
+
+|u - -1u = 0 ,
+
+(C3)
+
+where |u := |u( , P ) . Since |u - -1u is analytic in , we can expand it by using Taylor series; this creates an infinite series of constraints that must all be satisfied. In particular, the condition in Eq. (C3) will be satisfied only if
+|u - -1u = |0 .
+
+17
+
+This is true if and only if, for all (r, s), one has
+
+prs log
+
+prs |p

+
+(C4)
+
+where |p� = -1 |p . Here, |p� is the transformed vector
+
+|p , on which the inverse of permutation (r, s) is also
+
+applied.
+
+Let us now suppose that  tends to the point ~, which
+
+is such that ~rs = 0 for all (r, s) except for (r, s) = (a, b) (i.e., ~ab = 1). In this limit, Eq. (C4) is trivially satisfied when (r, s) = (a, b) but not otherwise. Let us
+
+suppose (r, s) = (a, b) and expand the equation around
+
+pab
+
+= p�ab =
+
+1 2
+
+.
+
+From this second series expansion, one
+
+concludes that the equality is satisfied if either p�ab = pab
+
+or p�ab = 1 - pab. In both cases, the indices must match,
+
+which implies that (a, b) = -1  (a, b). By repeating
+
+the same argument for all (a, b), we conclude that  = .
+
+Thus, the map T : (, P )  ( , P ) is a symmetry only
+
+if  = .
+
+This leaves the proof that  = I. Let us, by contra-
+
+diction, assume that rs differs from one set of indices to the other and define the sets A and B by
+
+A = {(r, s) : rs = 0} and B = {(r, s) : rs = 1} . Then one can write
+
+ = |p = p A + p B ,
+
+(C5)
+
+where p X := (r,s)X rsprs. Returning to Eq. (C4) for (r, s)  A and using the newfound fact that  = 
+
+which implies p�rs = rs + (1 - 2rs)prs (no more permutations), we find

+B
+
+This can only be true if  = p A + p B, i.e., if A =  or B = . Therefore, rs =  (r, s), with   {0, 1}.
+
+2. Convexity of L
+Theorem 2. L(, P ) is convex with respect to P .
+This property of L is--perhaps surprisingly--not a consequence of the convexity of the KL divergence. Instead, it follows from the log-sum inequality.
+Proof. We prove that L(, P ) is convex with respect to P by showing that it satisfies the convexity condition
+L(, (1 - t)P + tQ)  (1 - t) L(, P ) + t L(, Q) , (C6)
+explicitly for all t  [0, 1]. Again, for the sake of clarity, we will use the notation developed in the previous section, and, in particular, write the density as  = |p . We write each term on the left-hand-side of Eq. (C6) as
+
+rs
+
+[(1

+We use the correspondence between three-dimensional asymptotically flat spacetimes and two-dimensional contracted conformal field theories (CCFTs) to derive the stress tensor correlators of CCFT2. On the gravity side we use the metric formulation instead of the ChernSimons formulation of three-dimensional gravity. This method can also be used for fourdimensional case where there is no Chern-Simons formulation for the bulk theory.

+1 Introduction
+Extending gauge/gravity duality beyond the AdS/CFT correspondence requires that one proposes appropriate dual field theory for the spacetimes which are not asymptotically AdS. One of the candidates is asymptotically flat spacetimes. These spacetimes are given by vanishing cosmological constant limit of the asymptotically AdS counterparts. This connection on the gravity side may be a hint to the proposal of a dual field theory for the asymptotically flat spacetimes. One of the proposals which links the flat-space limit on the bulk side to the ultra-relativistic limit of the boundary theory, was put forward in [1]-[2]. This proposal which we henceforth call flat/CCFT, suggests a holographic connection between the asymptotically flat spacetimes in (d+1)-dimensions and contracted conformal filed theories (CCFT) in d-dimensions.
+A CCFT is given by taking an ultra-relativistic limit of the corresponding CFT. In the ultrarelativistic limit the speed of light approaches zero and in this singular limit, the symmetries of the theory are not Poincare symmetry. In two dimensions, the contracted conformal algebra is given by Inonu-Wigner contraction of two copies of the Virasoro algebra. Starting with a CFT2, the contracted algebra is obtained by using the generators of the Virasoro algebra and then contracting the time-coordinate [2]. The ultra-relativistic limit of the conformal algebra is the opposite of the non-relativistic limit which gives rise to the Galilean conformal algebra (GCA)[3]. In two dimensions, these two algebras are isomorphic but in higher dimensions they are different.
+A symmetry similar to the contracted conformal symmetry also appears as the asymptotic symmetry of the asymptotically flat spacetimes[4]-[8]. This symmetry which is called the BMS symmetry is infinite - dimensional for three and four dimensions. Taking the flat-space limit of the generators of the AdS asymptotic symmetry leads to the generators of the BMS algebra[9]. Thus it is plausible to propose that the ultra - relativistic limit of the CFT is indeed, the dual of the flat-space limit in the asymptotically AdS spacetimes. This idea is used in [1]-[2] where a holographic duality between the asymptotically flat spacetimes and CCFTs is proposed.
+Holographic calculation of the stress tensor correlators is a good check for the correctness of the correspondence between a field theory and a gravitational dual theory. It is well known that the correlation functions of the operators in CFTs have universal forms. One of the successes of the AdS/CFT correspondence is its proposed method for the holographic calculation of these correlators.
+Similar to the AdS/CFT correspondence, the correlation functions of the operators in a CCFT must have a dual description in the asymptotically flat spacetimes. There are two plausible ways to establish a dictionary which relates calculations in the two sides of the duality. One can ignore the AdS/CFT correspondence and consider flat/CCFT in its own right or one can take
+2
+
+the appropriate limit of the calculations of the AdS/CFT correspondence. Both of these methods have been invoked and the results have been consistent, so far.
+Calculating the stress tensor of CCFT by using flat-space holography was carried out for the first time in [10]. The method used to find the stress tensor of CCFT2, is taking the appropriate limit of the AdS/CFT computations. On the other hand, in [11] a direct method is invoked which yields the correlators of CCFT2. However, the holographic calculations of correlation functions in the gravity side just performed by using the Chern-Simons formulation of three - dimensional flat-space gravity. Generalizing such a correspondence to the higher - dimensional cases for which there is no Chern-Simons formulation for the gravity theory, necessitates the metric formulation of such a calculations.
+In the present paper we use the metric formulation of three - dimensional gravity in order to calculate the stress tensor correlators via holography. The fact that stress tensor of a field theory can be used to find the conserved charges of the symmetries is employed to derive an expression for the stress tensor components in terms of the conserved charges. Then the flat/CCFT proposal is used and the charges are substituted by results in the literature, found directly in the flat spacetimes. Our results in this paper are consistent with [10]. This method has also been used previously for the quasi-local stress tensor of the Kerr black hole [12] and the results are consistent with the ones obtained through taking the flat-space limit.
+To calculate the higher-point correlation functions, we make use of invariance of the correlators under the action of the global part of BMS3 algebra. We track this invariance back to the gravity side and find a general expression for all of the non-zero stress tensor correlator. Our results also confirm the idea that the symmetry algebra of CCFT2 is so rich that it dictates a universal form for the correlators. Another non-trivial point in our calculation is assuming a non-symmetric stress tensor for the CCFTs. Our investigations in the gravity side show that a covariant conservation formula requires a non-symmetric stress tensor. The fact that CCFTs do not exhibit Poincare' symmetry helps us avoid any inconsistencies. Our calculations in the present paper provide yet another confirmation for the fact that asymptotically flat spacetimes do have holographic duals which are CCFTs living in one less dimension.
+In Sec.2 we introduce the stress tensor of CCFT2 by using holographic method and metric formulation of three - dimensional gravity. In Sec.3 we calculate the p-point functions of the stress tensor by using holography. The last section, Sec.4, is devoted to a discussion and to directions for possible future investigations.

+
+2 Stress tensor of CCFT
+
+Our goal is to calculate the correlation functions of the CCFT2 stress tensor. In the first step we need to introduce the stress tensor. According to our convention, a CCFT2 is a theory which is defined by the following infinite - dimensional symmetry:
+
+[Lm, Ln] = (m - n)Ln+m + CLm(m2 - 1)m+n,0, [Lm, Mn] = (m - n)Mn+m + CM m(m2 - 1)m+n,0,
+
+(2.1)
+
+where n and m can take any integer values. Similar to CFT2, one may expect that the above infinite - dimensional symmetry yields some universal results which are independent of the underlying action. The algebra (2.1) is given by the Inonu-Wigner contraction of the Virasoro algebra. Thus, one may consider CCFT2 as a contracted theory obtained from a parent CFT. There are two possible contractions of the Virasoro algebra which lead to (2.1), a non-relativistic and an ultra - relativistic contraction. The first one which is given by taking very large limit of the light speed, corresponds to scaling x  x and   0. On the other hand the ultra - relativistic contraction is obtained by the limit of vanishing light speed or equivalently scaling t  t and   0. In two dimensions both the non-relativistic and ultra - relativistic contractions of the Virasoro algebra give rise to the same algebra as in (2.1). However, in general , by CCFT we mean a theory for which the symmetry is given by the ultra-relativistic limit. The non-relativistic limit yields Galilean conformal algebra (GCA) which is interesting on its own[3].
+We suppose that CCFT2 lives on a cylinder with metric
+
+ds2 = -du2 + R2d2
+
+(2.2)
+
+where R is the radius of the cylinder, which will be fixed later when we use the holographic dictionary. Our starting point for finding the stress tensor of CCFT is the formula which gives the conserved charges of symmetry generators . Using (2.2) we can write
+
+2
+
+2
+
+Q = R
+
+dJu = R
+
+dT u��,
+
+0
+
+0
+
+(2.3)
+
+where J� is the symmetry current and T � is the stress tensor. Here, we do not impose any
+
+conditions on the components of the stress tensor. For a CCFT that lives on the cylinder one can
+
+introduce a representation for the generators of (2.1)
+
+Ln = iein ( + inuu) ,
+
+Mn = ieinu.
+
+(2.4)
+

+
+Thus we can write

+
+QLn = R
+
+d ein nuT uu + iR2T u .
+

+
+(2.5)
+
+Using the orthogonality condition of Fourier modes, we can find T uu and T u from (2.5) as

+
+e-in (QLn - iunQMn)
+
+n
+
+(2.6)
+
+The other components must be determined by using the conservation and traceless-ness conditions.
+
+However, in order to check the above calculations and find other components we make use of the
+
+flat/CCFT proposal and first do a holographic calculation.
+
+2.1 Holographic calculation using Flat/CCFT correspondence
+
+The calculations in the previous section are pure field theoretic ones and we merely defined a two - dimensional field theory by its symmetries. However, as is proposed in [1]-[2] this two dimensional field theory has a holographic dual theory. The dual theory is three - dimensional gravity in asymptotically flat backgrounds. The asymptotic symmetries of such a spacetimes at null infinity is known as a BMS3 symmetry which is isomorphic to (2.1). Thus we can find an interpretation for the charges QMn and QLn on the bulk side as the charges corresponding to the asymptotic symmetry generators. To be precise, let us consider a set of asymptotically flat spacetimes which transforms back into itself under the action of asymptotic symmetry generators. In a particular coordinate systems, known as BMS coordinates, the generic form of the asymptotically flat spacestimes with BMS3 asymptotic symmetry is given by [8]
+
+ds2 = M du2 - 2dudr + 2N dud + r2d2,

+
+(),

+(2.8)
+
+and () and () are arbitrary functions of the  coordinate. u is known as the retarded time
+
+where for the Minkowski spacetime u = t - r. The generators of an infinitesimal coordinate
+
+transformation, �, which preserve the form of the metric (2.7), are given by

+

+
+Y = Y (), F = T () + uY (),
+
+(2.10)
+
+Y () and T () are arbitrary functions. Ln and Mn which are defined by
+
+Ln = (Y = iein, T = 0), Mn = (Y = 0, T = iein),
+
+(2.11)
+
+satisfy the algebra (2.1) at large r. The corresponding charges of Ln and Mn can be computed by various methods. They are given by covariant phase space method [13],[8] as1

+
+(2.12)
+
+The shift in the first line of (2.12) is necessary in order for the Poisson bracket of the charges
+
+produce the correct coefficient for the central term in the algebra (2.1). The interesting point
+
+here is that with this shift of charges we have QM0 = QL0 = 0 for the Minkowski metric. Substituting (2.12) in (2.6) one can find the components of the stress tensor as follows:

+
+(2.13)
+
+This result is consistent with those of [10] where the components of the stress tensor are calcu-
+
+lated through taking flat-space limit from the quasi-local stress tensor of the asymptotically AdS
+
+spacetimes. Moreover, we find the same results as in [11] if M and N in [11] are identified as
+
+the Tuu and Tu components of the stress tensor. We have not fixed the constant R in the above calculations,yet. This can be done through relating the constant term in the uu component of
+
+the stress tensor with the central charges of (2.1).
+
+By assuming a standard conservation formula for the components of the stress tensor one
+
+arrives at
+
+uT u + T  = 0.
+
+(2.14)
+
+Thus using (2.13) we can determine T  to be

+
+K,
+
+(2.15)
+
+where K is a constant of integration. If we also impose a traceless-ness condition T�� = 0 for the
+
+stress tensor, K is determined and we have

+
+(2.16)
+
+1 The calculation of surface charges in [8] has been done at the circle at infinity. Moreover, it is assumed that
+
+the background line element which is used to raise and lower indices is Minkowski, ds2 = -du2 - 2dudr + r2d2.
+
+6
+
+From (2.13) it is clear that the conservation equation,
+
+uT uu + T u = 0,
+
+(2.17)
+
+is not satisfied for a symmetric stress tensor, i.e. T u = T u. One possible way to overcome this obstacle is assuming a new conservation equation as uT uu = 0 [10]. However, if we want to write the conservation formula in a covariant way, there is a possibility of assuming non-symmetric stress tensors for the CCFTs. If we implement a non-symmetric stress tensor ( similar to the case in [14] ) such that T u is non-zero and is given by (2.13) but T u = 0 then the holographic calculations result in the standard conservation equation, �T � = 0 for the CCFT. The fact that CCFTs are not Poincare' invariant theories makes this assumption reliable. We should note again that all of these results are consequences of accepting a holographic duality between CCFTs and asymptotically flat spacetimes. In summary, we have

+
+3 Correlators of stress tensor
+
+In this section we use the results of the previous sections to calculate the correlation functions of CCFT2. To do so, we assume that these functions are invariant under the global part of the two - dimensional symmetry algebra. For the two - dimensional theory, whose symmetry is given by (2.1), the global part is generated by {L0, L�1, M0, M�1}. According to (2.18), the holographic calculations yield the components of stress tensor in terms of two functions () and (). When we fix these functions on the gravity side, the asymptotically flat solution is completely determined. An infinitesimal coordinate transformation generated by (2.9) changes these functions to  +  and  + . The infinitesimal changes of the functions can be calculated by using the Lie derivative of the metric components and expressing them in such a way that the generic form (2.7) is preserved. We arrive at []

+
+(3.3)
+
+as expected. We can also use (2.18) and (3.1) to calculate higher-point functions. Since according to (2.18),
+T is the same as Tuu up to an overall factor, its correlation functions with the other components are similar to the correlation functions of Tuu. Similar to the one-point functions, we want to determine the p point functions by imposing
+
+Mn Ti1j � � � Tkpl = 0,
+
+Ln Ti1j � � � Tkpl = 0,
+
+n = 0, �1
+
+(3.4)
+
+where Tilj = Tij (ul, l). If we define () = () + 1 then the uu and  components of the stress tensor will be
+
+proportional to (). For n = 0, � 1 , equations (2.11) and (3.1) yield the following variations:

+

+of {1, 2, � � � , p} but with different overall constant factors. These constants can also be zero,

+
+in particular, photon excitation and quadrature squeez-

+
+These are given as,

+
+|sns = S(r)|m ,
+

+
+where, Nm = m!�mPn(�), � = cosh r and Pn(x) is the nth order Legendre polynomial.
+In Fig. 3 we have plotted the dependence of Nw on r for PAS and SNS. In the case of PAS [Fig. 3(a)], we observe that Nw is non-monotonic on both r and m. For m = 1 it increases monotonically with r. However, for all m  2, as r increases it first decreases and then increases. In addition to that, we also notice that for a moderate r (0.30  r  0.60), Nw for higher m becomes smaller than the lower m. It becomes prominent with increase in m. For very high value of r ( 0.80), Nw becomes predominantly dependent on r.
+In the case of SNS [Fig. 3(b)] we observe a monotonic dependence of Nw on both r and m. For m = 1, both SNS and PAS yield similar NC; however for m  2 they are different. This is due to the fact that aS(r)|0 = S(r)|1 and for m  2, states are very much different as discussed in [12].

+pendence of Nw(ST) on r for several n. Evidently, Nw(ST) increases with increase in r as well as increasing n. We detect the effect of squeezing for all values of
+r in contrast to [13] that reads ST nonclassical only if r  rc(= log[1 + 2n]).
+
+IV. DISCUSSION
+The Wehrl entropic measure of NC, for both pure and mixed states, requires no optimization over the set of classical states. In addition to that, it remains invariant under phase-space displacement and rotation. In the case of nonclassical states of light, generated under single NC-inducing operation, Nw quantifies the NC efficiently. It successfully distinguishes between the even and odd Schrodinger kittens (when coherent amplitude is small) as well as shows that both the states are maceoscopically equally nonclassical, irrespective of the parity, as observed in terms of the Wigner negativity [10]. Our measure of NC also sheds light on the relative competition between the NC-inducing operations in the case of quantum optical states which are generated under multiple NC-inducing operations as predicted in [12]. It consistently quantifies the non-monotonic NC for the PAS and the SNS.
+In the case of photon excited thermal states, NC depends only on the number of photon excitation. On the other hand, for Gaussian squeezed mixed states, it depends on the average thermal photon. We show that, for ST, n~ = n as considered in [8].
+In contrast to the use of phase-space singularity and negativity [9, 10, 26, 27], our measure of NC is defined in terms of the classical like distribution that can be easily computed as well as be retrieved experimentally in heterodyne detection [28]. Current formalism, can be extended to the finite dimensional quantum systems [29] alongwith macroscopic optomechanical systems [30] by using the description of Q-function in finite-dimension [31] and thus sets a framework for studying the convertion of NC into entanglement by the action of BS, in general context [32].
+
+V. CONCLUSION
+In summary, we define a measure of NC for single mode quantum optical states in terms of Wehrl entropy. We show that the our measure quantifies the NC of both
+
+5
+
+pure and mixed quantum optical states, generated under the action of single as well as multiple NC-inducing operations, efficiently.
+Present work plays an important role in analyzing the NC of quantum optical states under quantum processes [33, 34]. It also becomes important in understanding the quantum-classical transition in open quantum systems [35] alongwith the role of NC of quantum states in several information tasks processing such as entanglement distillation [36], entanglement distribution [37, 38], quantum computation[39, 40] etc.

+Abstract
+This paper investigates the potentials of using a hybrid memristor CMOS technology, called MeMOS, for the realisation of ternary adders. Ternary adders exploit the qualitative advantage of multi-value storage capability of memristors compared to conventional CMOS flip-flops storing only binary values in one cell. Furthermore they carry out an addition in O(1) and are therefore considered. The MeMOS approach is compared to a CMOS solution for the ternary adders using multi value memristors as registers concerning the achievable latency and the energy consumption. It is shown that using the TEAM, VTEAM model and a model considering commercially available memristors from Known the approach of using CMOS ternary adders using memristors as multi-value register memory is to prefer. MeMOS circuits have advantages for a static operation mode, i.e. if they are operated after a reset.
+1. Introduction
+New memory technologies, like e.g. memristors, offer the possibility of so-called in-memory computing concepts. Characteristic for such concepts is a paradigm change in the way how data processing is done. Whereas in a pure von-Neumann computer data is brought to the instructions in a computing architecture that uses in-memory computing the instructions are brought to the data. Concrete does that mean the memory storage element is not purely used for storage, moreover the storage is an integral part of the processing.
+Using memristors as storage elements in an in-memory computing architecture means that logical resistor networks are built up and the resistor values can be changed to new ones according to the result of a processing step in which the old resistor value was included.
+One of the first concepts in this sense in the world of memristive computing was the so-called IMPLY logic [1], [9]. Two parallel connected memristors got as input voltage levels that are either shortly before a switching level of the memristor or are above that limit. In dependence of the content of the memristor pair, which is the input of the function, a certain resistor network is built up. Depending on the adjusted resistances in that resistor network the state of one memristor, operating as the output, can be changed or not if a voltage above the threshold limit is applied. By that a kind of operation mode a quasi inherent implementation of the Boolean implication operator is realised.
+
+First made proposals with that IMPLY logic include basic Boolean functions like NOT, NAND or NOR. However, the disadvantage is that the realisation of such elementary Boolean functions are mapped onto several subsequent executions of IMPLY operations what causes a higher latency. This problem does not occur in a pure CMOS logic in which operations like NAND or NOR are quasi inherent to that processing which is based on complementary switching of PMOS and NMOS transistors. This means that the principal advantage of inmemory computing concepts over CMOS like less energy consumption and possibly less latency, which is given due to the fact that storing and processing takes place in the same device, is lost.
+New expanded proposals like so-called MAGIC [12] and MAD gates [5] or also the concepts presented in [3] and of MeMOS [11], the last one stands for combining of memristors and CMOS, overcome the mentioned disadvantage and allow to carry out basic Boolean operators in one elementary step. This paper is focused on using the MeMOS concept since the requirements to the control path for the memristors seems to be less complicate and therefore one can expect even a shortor mid-term solution concerning the realisation of real circuits compared to the other solutions. The control path in MeMOS is more or less reduced to CMOS inverter gates what is much easier compared to the more difficult driver circuitry that MAD gates require. Of course, the price one has to pay for the easier realisation of MeMOS is a higher number of memristors as needed for MAD gates and MAGIC.
+All of the three concepts mentioned above allow to do the next necessary step in digital memristive computing for the community, namely to move away from simple Boolean gates towards more sophisticated memristive arithmetic circuits. According to the conviction of the authors this step is absolutely necessary if memristors will have a chance to be used as digital logic any time in the future in order to exploit its principal benefits like less energy consumption and may be also less latency.
+In addition, we would like to focus that the success of digital memristive computing requires also to exploit features offered by new memory technologies like memristors which are not possible with pure CMOS storing elements. This concerns e.g. the multi-value storing capabilities of some NVMs in general, and in particular of memristors. We favour in this presented work a ternary number representations realised in memristors
+
+as another focus aside the MeMOS concept. In this sense we would like to investigate if memristor tech-
+nology has the potential to realise ternary computers in the future. The reason why we favour ternary arithmetic than binary is the advantage of ternary structures to carry out an addition in a constant number of steps independent of the operand's word length , i.e. in O(1). On the contrary a binary adder works best at log(N) by an area increase that is limited to (N log(N), if N is the number of used bits.
+In order to prove the potential and to quantify what has to be done in the future to bring digital memristive computing to success we made a comparative investigation concerning required processing time and energy consumption for ternary adders realised in three different technologies. (i) A pure CMOS solution of the adders using two flip-flops to store one trit, i.e. a ternary digit; (ii) A non in-memory computing approach using memristors, i.e. memristor are just used as multi-value memory in a digital CMOS circuit; (iii) A MeMOS solution for those adders.
+In order to obtain the energy and latency values for memristor based adder architectures, i.e. (i) and (ii), we used an own simulation environment written in C++ that solves the memristor behaviour by a discrete solution of the differential equations for different models proposed in literature, namely the TEAM [8] and the VTEAM [6] model. The difference between TEAM and VTEAM model is that the last one considers explicitly a threshold at which the I/U curve for a memristor starts to show a slope. Furthermore, we consider a statistical model for one of the first commercially available memristors, namely the memristors from Knowm [10].
+The remainder of the paper is organized as follows. Chapter 2 presents an introduction in ternary arithmetic and explains the specific adders we selected for this investigation. Next chapter briefly introduces the MeMOS concept and shows the MeMOS solution for our preferred ternary adder. Chapter 4 introduces the simulation system we have developed for the evaluation of MeMOS circuits. Chapter 5 continues with an evaluation for the ternary adders in MeMOS and discusses the pro and cons. Finally we end the paper with a conclusion.
+2. Ternary adders
+We have investigated two adders operating on ternary numbers which are processed by binary logic for a realisation in MeMOS technology. The two ternary adders are operating both to a base r = 2. One adder, denoted in the following as base_2_step_3 adder, requires three discrete time steps for the processing, but the price is that this adder shows a more complex logic per steps compared to the other adder, denoted as base_2_step_4, which requires however 4 discrete time steps. These two adders are more promising than other adders offering also non-binary operand presentation and constant addition time. E.g. there exist adders, that show only two discrete steps but require a much more complex logic what is caused by the fact that these adders are using operands to a
+
+base r  2. Details concerning this computer arithmetic stuff can be found in [4], [2].
+Both adders are using for their operands a so-called signed digit (SD) number representation, i.e. they allow not only positive but also negative digits. Concretely, a so-called balanced ternary number representation to base r = 2 comes into use. That means, generally for each digit sdi of a SD number sd holds sdi  {-r + 1, ..., r - 1}, and for the case r = 2, sdi  {-1, 0, 1}. The value of sd, having a digit length N, is then calculated according to (1).
+

+
+sd =  sdi � ri
+

+
+i=0
+
+Due to the signed digits we receive redundant representations, i.e. two different SD numbers possess the same value, e.g. 1011 = (7)10 = 1001, 1  -1.
+As next we explain briefly the working principle of the two adders. We will start with the adder base_2_step_4 which carries out an addition in four steps independent of the word
+
+length. For the binary processing of the ternary SD number we have
+
+to use a coding for each trit. The coding we are using is a socalled (negative, positive) coding, abbreviated as (n,p)-coding, shown in Table 1. The (n,p)-coding has the advantage that the inverse -sdi of a digit sd can be easily formed by exchanging the negative and the positive part of sd.

+
+The base_2_step_4 adder consists of two subsequent connected subadders, which expect one operand as binary input and the other one as an SD number. This makes the gate logic more easier. An example for an addition that is carried out with such a subadder is shown in Table 2.
+Assuming the (n,p) coding we will get the following Boolean equations, (2) to (5), for the base_2_step_4 adder that have to be applied to calculate the intermediate binary values c+i , z-i , s+i , and s-i in each digit position of the adder.

+Table 2: Addition of SD number x with a binary number y.
+Fig. 1 shows a gate layout for one basic building block for this adder for the processing of one digit. It is operated on one digit of SD operand sd1i, i.e. on its positive and negative part denoted as x_i_plus, resp. x_i_minus, and on the positive part of a digit of the other SD operand sd2i, denoted as y_i.
+
+Figure 1: Gate layout for the processing of one digit in the
+ternary Radix_2_step_4 adder.
+
+In order to process two SD numbers as inputs the addition
+
+process has to be be split in two phases (6), due to the fact that
+
+one subadder of the the base_2_step_4 adder has to be fed
+
+with one SD input and one binary input. Therefore, first an
+
+addition of the first operand sd1 takes place with the positive
+
+part sd2+ of subtraction
+
+the second input operand sd2. Then, a subsequent with the negative part sd2- has to follow. Both
+
+input operands for the subadders are binary.
+
+sd1 + sd2 = (sd1 + sd2+) - sd2-
+

+
+Eq. (7) shows how a subtraction of an SD number, sd, and a binary, B, can be easily reduced to an addition. The positive and the negative part of sd have to be exchanged, then the addition with B can be carried out. The result is an SD number, whose positive and negative part have to be exchanged to form the inverse.

+
+intermediate value z, and the transfer bits, ti, of the so-called transfer vector, t, are produced. It holds for zi  {-2, -1, 0}, and for ti  {1, 0}. Consequently, it is impossible that in the second step a digit with a value equal to +/ - r can be produced, i.e. no carry can occur. It requires a final third step to consider the final necessary shift and to produce again an SD number.
+The idea behind the base_2step_3 adder to avoid a carry is much simpler to understand. The vector ci contains only 1's and 0's, the vector z contains only 1's and 0's. Therefor,e it is also impossible that in the second step two 1's or to 0's meet each other at a certain digit position and no carry can arise.
+Both presented adders have been intensively investigated on technological side by a layout synthesis evaluation by other authors [2] concerning their latency and energy consumption behaviour in comparison to a binary carry-look-ahead adder (CLA). The both adders were connected to a multi-value memristor based register file. As expected for both ternary adders a constant run time was received, about 3 ns for the base_2_step_3 adder and about 3.5 ns for the base_2_step_4 adder for a 130 nm CMOS process from LFoundry.
+As expected, too, the run time for a carry-look-ahead (CLA) adder was higher. It started at about 3.6 ns for a bit length of 16 and ended at about 6 ns for a word length of 512 bits. However, concerning for the energy-delay product the breakeven point where the ternary adders were better than the CLA adder was just at 40 digits. We are interested in this paper to see if the energy-delay product would improve if these adders are realised in MeMOS technology.
+
+3. MeMOS implementation of ternary adders
+
+Singh [11] made a proposal to combine memristors and CMOS in order to solve the problem of signal deterioration of the voltage signal level when using a pure ratioed logic [7] with memristors. Basic of ratioed logic are voltage dividers based on memristors, which make it difficult to cascade circuits since voltage drops off at the memristors. The idea is to work with CMOS inverters at certain distances in a digital logical memristor circuit to refresh the voltage signals to the level of the supply voltage. Singh denoted this technique as Memristor-
+
+CMOS (MeMOS) logic. Further inverters are used if inverted signals are necessary for memristor inputs, which are used as logic gates.
+Basic building blocks of MeMOS are OR and AND circuits in ratioed logic with closing CMOS inverters for signal restoration what establishes a NOR-/NAND logic.
+Singh showed benefits for a full adder realised in MeMOS in comparison with a CMOS full adder concerning energy consumption and latency for an assumed TEAM model for the memristors. We want to apply that approach here to more sophisticated circuits, namely ternary adders to profit from further qualitatively benefits offered by memristor technology.
+What we need for a perfect mapping onto MeMOS building blocks are Boolean equations formulated as NAND/NOR expressions. In order to receive such expressions it is necessary to expand the Boolean equations by a double inversion. We demonstrate that exemplarily for the calculation of the c+i (2) signal that is generated in the first step of the base_2_step_4 adder (11).
+
+c+i = xi+  yi  xi-
+
+(11)
+
+= xi+  yi  xi-
+
+= xi+  yi  xi-
+
+The gained expression can be directly mapped in a 1-to-1 fashion onto a functionally equivalent MeMOS circuit shown in Fig. 4. We repeated this procedure for all other equations for both ternary adders, cascaded the gained circuits to build complete ternary adders as MeMOS circuits. These circuits have been simulated by an own written simulator.
+
+Figure 4: Gate layout of MeMOS circuit for calculating c+i sig-
+nal (2). Shown are two AND building blocks in MeMOS. An OR block would be reversely connected to the inputs on left side.
+4. Simulation system for MeMOS circuits
+In order to identify the possible processing speed and the necessary energy consumption of our found MeMOS circuits we are using simulation. For that we wrote a corresponding C++ program. The timely memristor behaviour was modelled by an implementation of the Euler solution of the differential equation to determine the memristance of the memristor devices.
+
+4
+
+The same procedure is used in the TEAM and the VTEAM model published by Kvatinsky et.al. [8], [6]. In addition our simulation system accesses to the physical parameters of the memristors' given in the TEAM and VTEAM model.
+Whereas the TEAM and the VTEAM model are deterministic models our simulation system considers also a statistical model that was introduced by Knowm [10]. The last model is of interest in the view of the fact that real, commercially available memristor devices are standing behind this model.
+All these three models can be conveniently considered by our simulation system thanks to the object-orientated approach of C++. A memristor in our simulation system is a class, in which different functional behaviour can be instantiated by selecting a specific model. In order to simulate the functional behaviour of cascaded memristor circuits, as e.g. in the hybrid MeMOS logic, a tree of cascaded and interconnected memristors is built up. This tree is parsed and by that the memristor's inputs can be determined and the output is calculated in discrete time steps according to the Euler procedure.
+The CMOS inverters in MeMOS circuits necessary for signal restoring are functionally modelled as follows. If the input applied to such an inverter is more than 0.7 of the supply voltage, V dd, then the complete voltage hub is switched through and the complete voltage supply level is accessible at the inverter's output. An analogue behaviour is assumed for the case that the input is below 0.3 �Vdd. In this case the output is pulled down to ground signal. By that it is possible by means with the parameters of the memristor models to evaluate MeMOS and in principle also other memristor circuits to determine latency and energy consumption by simulation.
+Table 4 gives an excerpt of the listing of the source code for the simulation of a MeMOS circuit. It shows the definition of a MeMOS circuit and how it is possible to simulate this circuit with different models, just by defining one of the parameters TEAM, VTEAM, or KNOWM during the instantiation of a memristor MeMOS circuit (line 4). The MeMOS circuit itself is defined by the call of corresponding AND or OR memristor functions (line 3) which simulate the building blocks of MeMOS (line 1 and 2). The Boolean parameter at the end of the function call (line 3) determines if the output of the MeMOS circuit has to be inverted or not.
+With that program and the known values of a ternary CMOS adder attached to memristor registers, which have been publiseh in [2], we can now carry out a comparison study between ternary adders using MeMOS and conventional CMOS.
+5. Comparative evaluation of memristors
+First we investigated the memristor behaviour after an initial reset of the memristor, i.e. the both memristors in the building blocks had a state variable 0.5. This corresponds to the situation that the memristance is exactly adjusted at the zero point of its I/V hysteresis curve. We tried to find out at which operating frequency a correct switching would fail because the ions have not enough time to move to another location in
+
+the memristor cavity to change the memristance clearly either to the high or to the low resistance mode. Table 5 shows the gained results for an applied moderate voltage level of 1.8 V for three different memristor models.
+Apparently is the much lower processing rate for the memristors described by the Knowm model. In this context is to say that Knowm memristors are the only commericially memristor whereas the other two models represent research memristors. Furthermore, the Knowm memristors are primarily thought for detection and learning applications based on neuromorphic processing schemes which can tolerate lower processing rates. It becomes clear that the other two models are more appropriate for implementing high-speed arithmetic. It is also interesting to see that the adder with three steps shows better latency values than the adder with four steps due to the higher possible operating frequency. That holds in particular very strongly for memristors described with the TEAM model. Even though the complexity of the gates in the base_2_step_4 adder is lower than in the base_2_step_3 adder the lower number of gates that have to be passed gives the advantage for the base_2_step_3 adder. The values for the energy consumption refer to the processing of input operands with a digit width of 40. We will need these values later.
+However, in practice the behaviour would be worse. It is unlikely that after a switching process the same memristor's state will adjust to the same state after a reset. In order to mimic a realistic scenario of cascaded MeMOS circuits which have to process different operand pairs one after the other, we determined randomly 1000 pairs of ternary operands that are given in as continuous data stream, each for a width of 8, 16,
+namespace MeMOS { ... 1 // defines MeMOS AND and OR building block // AND has reversely interconnected poles to OR typedef Gate AND; typedef Gate OR;
+2 // template for positive and negative memristor poles template
+3 // Definition of MeMOS circuit for c+i logic tree return create_node(Input(x_plus), create_node (Inverter(y), Input(x_minus), OR(par2, par1), true), OR(par2, par1), false); ...
+4 // defines MeMOS circuit for ternary adder with // TEAM model; if VTEAM or KNOWM shall be used // replace TEAM by VTEAM or KNOWM MeMOS::Radix_2_Step_4_Adder adder(width, par1_team, par2_team);
+Table 4: Extract of the C++ simulation program. Syntactic definition of the circuit shown in Fig. 4

+
+32, and 64 digits. With the simulation system we calculated the average energy consumption per addition. As mentioned, the simulation software allows to specify an operation frequency. The reciprocal of this operating frequency corresponds to a certain amount of time that is applied to the memristor's inputs.
+It turned out by the simulation results that for all three models the energy consumption doubled if the digit width is doubled, too. This was to expect since the ternary adders have a complete regular setup concerning their logic blocks and the the spreading of a carry signal is clearly limited. The latency depends on the number of MeMOS blocks that have to be passed for the two ternary adders. We assume the reciprocal of the operating frequency, f , as run time through one MeMOS building block including therein contained CMOS inverters. Therefore, we need a latency of 3�1/ f for the base_2_step_3 adder, and of 4 � 1/ f for the base_2_step_4 adder.
+Table 6 shows a kind of cut-off frequency, e.g. 350 MHz for the base_2_step_3 adder, up to which we have got error-free simulation results. For higher frequencies the time the input signals were applied to the memristor inputs is not sufficient long to switch from a previous stored HIGH resistance to a LOW resistance or vice versa. It is interesting to see that the base_2_step_4 adder shows a more stable behaviour than the base_2_step_3 adder in the realistic dynamic situation. For the static case shown in Table 5 this was reversed. Furthermore, it is important to mention that this high speed processing times could only be achieved if the voltage is increased to 6 V for the TEAM and to 4 V for the VTEAM model. This could possibly become a problem for a hybrid integration with CMOS since such high values are no more standard. With the simulated energy consumption values it is now also possible to determine the energy delay product for the ternary adders and to compare them with the CMOS solution that uses memristors as multivalue registers what is done in the next chapter.
+
+6. Summary and conclusion
+
+We investigated in this paper the realization of ternary adders using the possibilities of the MeMOS approach, i.e. combining logic circuits based on memristors with CMOS inverters used for signal refreshing. The presented ternary adders exploit the potential of multi-value memristors.

+
+versus a CLA adder was about 40 digits according to the results in [2]. At 40 digits the presented ternary adder base_2_step_3 started to produce a better ED product, that was about 30 ns � pJ. We looked in this paper if better results can be achieved with ternary MeMOS adders. We can fix that is clearly not the case for a dynamic switching mode with MeMOS. The CMOS ternary adder with memristor registers in [2] showed a latency of 3 ns and an energy consumption of 10 pJ which is less than the corresponding values in Table 6 for both MeMOS ternary adders. Concerning the static case the latency for the base_2_step_3 offers with 1.2 ns an improvement of 60%. The energy delay product is with 1.2 ns � 44 pJ = 52, 8ns � pJ about 75% worse. The ratio concerning energy is even more worse because the simulation does not consider so far the energy consumption of the inverters in the MeMOS circuits.
+Therefore we come to the following conclusion. For ternary adders it seems to be better to prefer CMOS circuits with multivalue memristor registers at the moment. However, we will investigate in the future potentials to optimize the MeMOS circuits. E.g., it could be possible to combine multiple steps of the adders, which are now strictly separated. Furthermore, it is to investigate if the approach using MAD and MAGIC gates produces better results since they need less inverters.

+Abstract
+Building Part-of-Speech (POS) taggers for code-mixed Indian languages is a particularly challenging problem in computational linguistics due to a dearth of accurately annotated training corpora. ICON, as part of its NLP tools contest has organized this challenge as a shared task for the second consecutive year to improve the state-of-the-art. This paper describes the POS tagger built at Surukam to predict the coarse-grained and fine-grained POS tags for three language pairs -- Bengali-English, Telugu-English and Hindi-English, with the text spanning three popular social media platforms -- Facebook, WhatsApp and Twitter. We employed Conditional Random Fields as the sequence tagging algorithm and used a library called sklearn-crfsuite -- a thin wrapper around CRFsuite for training our model. Among the features we used include -- character n-grams, language information and patterns for emoji, number, punctuation and web-address. Our submissions in the constrained environment, i.e., without making any use of monolingual POS taggers or the like, obtained an overall average F1-score of 76.45%, which is comparable to the 2015 winning score of 76.79%.
+1 Introduction
+The burgeoning popularity of social media in India has produced enormous amounts of user generated text content. India's rich linguistic diversity coupled with its affinity towards English -- India has the largest number of speakers of English as a Second Language (ESL) in the world -- has led to the online conversations being
+
+rife with Code Switching (CS) and Code Mixing (CM). Code Switching is the practice of alternating between two or more languages or varieties of a language in the course of a single utterance (Gumperz, 1982). In Code Switching, unlike Code Mixing where one or more linguistic units of a language such as phrases, words and morphemes are embedded into an utterance of another language (Myers-Scotton, 1997), there is a distinct boundary separating the chunks corresponding to each language used in the discourse. So, a combination of language identification and monolingual language taggers could be used for Code Switched utterances. Solorio and Liu (2008) used a Spanish POS tagger and Vyas et al. (2014) used a Hindi POS tagger in conjunction with English monolingual taggers to handle Spanish-English and HindiEnglish code-switched discourses respectively.
+Part-of-speech (POS) tagging, the process of assigning each word its proper part of speech, is one of the most fundamental parts of any natural language processing pipeline and it is also an integral part of any syntactic analysis. There are highly accurate monolingual POS taggers available for resource-rich languages like English and French, the stateof-the-art being 97.6% (Choi, 2016) and 97.8% (Denis and Sagot, 2009), in large part due to extensively annotated million word corpora such as PennTreeBank (Santorini, 1990) and French TreeBank (Abeille� et al., 2003) respectively. Annotated data for code-mixed data is extremely scarce and the efforts to build a POS tagger for it have mostly advanced through the shared tasks organized at FIRE (Choudhury et al., 2014), EMNLP(Barman et al., 2014; Solorio et al., 2014) and ICON(Soman, 2015; Pimpale and Patel, 2016) in the past 2 years. In this paper, we describe our POS tagger for three widely spoken Indian languages (Hindi, Bengali, and Telugu), mixed with English, which was sub-

+mitted to the shared task organized at ICON 2016. The POS tagger was trained using Conditional Random Fields (Lafferty et al., 2001), which is known to perform particularly well for this task (Toutanova et al., 2003) among many other applications in biomedical named entity recognition (Settles, 2004) and information extraction (Ramesh et al., 2016).
+2 Dataset
+The contest task was to predict the POS tags at the word level for code-mixed utterances, collected from WhatsApp, Facebook and Twitter accross three language pairs, English-Hindi (En-Hi), English-Bengali (En-Bn) and English-Telugu (EnTe).
+The words were also annotated with certain language tags -- en for English, hi/bn/te for Hindi, Bengali and Telugu respectively, univ for punctuations, emoticons, symbols, @ mentions, hashtags, mixed for intra-word language mixing for e.g., jugaading 1, acro for acronyms like lol, rofl, ne for named entities, and undef for undefined.
+Our submission included models to predict the coarse-grained (Petrov et al., 2011) and finegrained POS tags (Jamatia et al., 2015) and was trained in a constrained environment, thus precluding any use of external POS taggers.
+2.1 Code-Mixing Index
+In order to compare code-mixed POS taggers trained on different data-sets, it is necessary to have a measure of the code-
+1The Hindi noun jugaad which means frugal innovation is transformed into an English verb by adding the suffix ing.
+
+mixing complexity. Code-Mixing Index(CMI) (Gamba�ck and Das, 2014) is one such metric that describes the complexity of code-switched corpora and it amounts to finding the most frequent language in the utterance and then counting the frequency of the words belonging to all other languages present. Thus utterances that have only a single language, have a CMI of 0.
+Tables 1, 2, 3, and 4, show the following CMI metrics that were calculated for Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp data of 2016 and the training data of ICON 2015 respectively.
+1. CMI all: average CMI for all sentences in a corpus
+2. CMI mixed: average CMI for the sentences with non-zero CMI.
+3. Mixed %: percentage of code-mixed sentences in the corpus
+4. Num utt.: total number of utterances in the corpus.
+We observed that the WhatsApp corpus for Bengali has a very low fraction of code-mixed sentences i.e., there are an extremely low number of words tagged as en in the data-set. On closer inspection of the dataset, there were exactly 13 instances of words that were tagged en and these were actually words such as Kolkata and San Antonio, that should have been annotated as ne instead. Effectively, CMI for WhatsApp-Bengali corpus is 0.
+
+3 Model and Results
+POS tagging is considered to be a sequence labelling task, where each token of the sentence needs to be assigned a label. These labels are usually interdependent, because the sentence follows grammar rules inherent to the language.
+We have used the CRF implementation of sklearn-crfuite2 because it is particularly well suited for sequence labelling tasks.
+3.1 Features
+The feature-set consisted of character-case information, character n-grams of gram size upto 3, which would thereby also encompass all prefixes and suffixes, patterns for email and web-site urls, punctuations, emoticons, numbers, social media specific characters like @,# and also the language tag information.
+We chose a CRF window size of two and performed grid-search to choose the best optimization algorithm and L1/L2 regularization parameters3. There were a total of 18 models trained using this pipeline, one for each case in the cross-product:
+{bn-en, hi-en, te-en} X
+{WhatsApp, Twitter, Facebook} X
+{Fine-Grained, Coarse-Grained}
+3.2 Results
+The F1 measure of our model against the social networks is depicted in Table 5 and the results with respect to the POS granularity is shown in Table 6. These results were calculated on the private test data-set shared by the organizers. With the system described in the paper, we achieved an overall average score of 76.45%, across all 18 models. This is only marginally lesser than 76.79%, which was the the score of winning entry of ICON 2015, and we are awaiting the results of ICON 2016.
+4 Conclusion & Future Work
+In this paper, we presented a CRF based POS tagger for code-mixed social media text in the constrained environment, without making use of any external corpora or monolingual POS taggers. We achieved an overall F1- Score of 76.45%.

+We would like to evaluate the performance improvement or lack thereof upon training a POS tagger in an unconstrained environment by utilizing monolingual taggers trained on Indic languages. Multilingual tools are still a ways off from matching the state-of-the-art of the tools available for monolingual linguistic analysis. There is promising research in the field of developing tools for resource poor languages by applying Transfer Learning (Zoph et al., 2016), which could also be evaluated in the future. Upon inspecting the dataset, we observed a few inaccuracies in annotation, which could be addressed by leveraging crowd-sourcing platforms that can execute Human Intelligence Tasks.

+Abstract: A possible density spike of dark matter (DM) in the subparsec region near the super-
+massive black hole at the Galactic Center can provide potentially observable gamma-ray signals emanating from DM annihilations. Taking Fermi-LAT data for the gamma-ray flux from the point source 3FGL J1745.6-2859c (Sgr A), we calculate the resulting constraints on generic models of DM, allowing for the possibility of a non-negligible velocity-dependent component of the annihilation cross section. We consider a range of values for relevant astrophysical parameters that describe the spike profile and find that the gamma-ray flux is strongly dependent on these choices; in particular, the modeling of spike depletion effects due to gravitational interactions with baryons, which affect the spike radius and the steepness of the profile. We consider both an idealized case where no attenuation of the spike occurs, as well as a case where the spike is depleted over time, and in each case we consider several choices for the steepness of the profile. We find that for the most conservative selection of parameters, corresponding to a depleted spike with an NFW cusp profile, the gamma-ray flux for a 100 GeV thermal relic is lower than current observational constraints by several orders of magnitude. For parameter choices corresponding to spikes that have not been attenuated, bounds on the mass of thermal DM can be obtained, and depend on the assumed steepness of the profile. We also specialize to a class of simplified models of fermionic DM that annihilate dominantly through the t-channel exchange of two scalar mediators with arbitrary mixing angle , and calculate the constraints on these models coming from the DM spike, for regions of parameter space that are complementary to collider searches. These simplified models demonstrate the sensitivity of conclusions about particle physics models to astrophysical parameters. Finally, we discuss the possibility of constraining the astrophysical parameters describing the DM spike if the properties of the DM are known, taking as an example a proposed DM explanation for the observed excess of GeV photons from the GC region.

+1 Introduction
+
+The particle nature of dark matter (DM) is an area of intense investigation which has the potential to shed light on fundamental questions about the Standard Model (SM), especially the hierarchy problem. For DM candidates with weak-scale couplings and mass, a calculation of the relic density automatically yields a value that is close to the measured dark matter abundance. This striking fact, a success of the so-called Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP) paradigm, reinforces the possibility that DM is deeply connected to new physics at the weak scale. The indirect detection of the products of DM annihilation or decay are one potentially fruitful way to investigate the properties of DM. Indeed, if DM annihilations occurred in the early Universe, it is possible that we could observe the products of annihilations occurring today.
+Indirect detection of WIMPs in the Milky Way halo has been a major endeavor over many years. The gamma-ray flux  coming from WIMP annihilation is proportional to the line-of-sight integral of the square of the DM density,
+
+  2(r)dr .
+
+(1.1)
+
+�1�
+
+Since the Galactic Center is expected to have a very high density of DM, it has been a much-studied source for indirect detection of DM.
+The formation of black holes at the centers of DM halos, and in particular the supermassive black hole at the center of our Galaxy [1, 2], can significantly modify the DM profile and affect the observed gamma-ray flux from that region. Gondolo and Silk showed [3] that if the black hole grows adiabatically at the center of a cusp with a power-law profile,
+
+(r)  r-c (cusp profile),
+
+(1.2)
+
+a DM spike can form close to the black hole, with a density profile given by
+
+(r)  r-sp (spike profile),
+
+(1.3)
+
+with sp > c. Such a spike causes an increase in  due to the enhanced density  in Eq. 1.3 at small radii. In fact, as r  0 the DM density profile diverges, but the divergence is cut off by the black hole horizon and smoothed near it due to the effects of DM annihilation.
+The account above is an idealized case, since the DM spike can be destroyed or smoothed by various effects [4�8]. In galactic nuclei, stars have much larger kinetic energy than DM particles, and interactions between them cause DM to be heated up. The gravitational interaction between stars near the black hole and the DM spike can thus cause damping, which affects the spike parameters, including the power-law behavior and the spike radius. The astrophysical parameters that describe the DM spike are a topic of ongoing debate, with a fairly broad range of plausible possibilities.
+The purpose of this paper is to investigate contributions of annihilations in the DM spike to the gamma-ray flux . Specifically, we investigate different spike profiles (i.e. spike formation histories) to determine whether the expectation of an enhanced signal due to the presence of a spike is robust. We consider cases where the DM profile is an idealized spike, which has not changed significantly since its formation, as well as cases where gravitational interactions with baryons have caused the spike to be depleted over time.
+Furthermore, as has been discussed in [11, 13], the DM velocity dispersion can be significantly altered near the GC, where the gravitational influence of the black hole is substantial. In this case, even DM models in which the annihilation cross section today is velocitysuppressed may lead to non-negligible gamma-ray signals from the GC, where the velocities can be large. Here, we investigate a range of DM models with both velocity-independent as well as velocity-dependent contributions to the annihilation cross section. Finally, we present a concrete example of a model in which the conclusions from gamma-ray data depend strongly on the details of the DM spike: a simplified model of fermionic DM coupled to Standard Model fermions via charged scalars [22], [23].
+Indirect detection of DM from a spike near the central black hole of our galaxy has been studied by several authors in different contexts in particle physics. Recently, [10�12] have studied these issues in the context of the Galactic Center excess and for DM models with pwave annihilation for an idealized spike. Indirect detection of DM with a velocity-dependent
+
+�2�
+
+annihilation cross section has been studied by [13], in models of non-thermal DM by [14], and in the context of dark stars by [15�17]. Meanwhile, spikes at the center of dwarf galaxies have recently been constrained by [18, 19].
+Here, we expand on the studies of DM annihilation near the Milky Way GC. We find that the size of the spike, denoted by the spike radius, and the steepness of the profile both inside the spike, parametrized by sp, and outside (in the cusp), parametrized by c, have a strong effect on the resulting constraints on DM models. For convenience, we summarize our main results:
+(i) The most conservative choice of parameters, corresponding to an attenuated spike radius, an NFW profile for the DM cusp c = 1.0, and a flattened annihilation core yields a flux  that is several orders of magnitude below the current observational threshold for a 100 GeV DM thermal relic (see the top left panel of Fig. 2).
+(ii) For a less conservative choice of parameters, corresponding to an attenuated spike radius, but a steeper profile for the DM cusp, c = 1.1 - 1.5, thermal relics of various masses may be constrained as shown in Fig. 5. The constraints on the velocity independent and velocity dependent contributions to the DM annihilation cross section are plotted in the top right and bottom panels of Fig. 2 and Fig. 3.
+(iii) Assuming that the spike has not undergone depletion improves the constraints considerably. In this idealized case, one can constrain thermal relics of different masses as shown in Fig. 6, which displays various choices of c, and assumes the steepest inner spike profile sp that one might reasonably expect. This steepest choice corresponds to a spike formed by collisionless DM assuming adiabatic growth of the central black hole.
+(iv) We also consider whether sp might be smaller than the steepest reasonable expectation, allowing it as a free parameter. The results are more conservative than Case (iii), and are displayed in Fig. 7 for one choice of sp and a range of values of c.
+Our work suggests that a more careful study of the astrophysics of DM spikes near black holes, specifically in the neighborhood of the supermassive black hole (SMBH) at the center of our Galaxy, is warranted. The wide range of plausible spike parameters results in significant variation in the space of DM constraints. To illustrate this, we take the above cases and apply them to a simplified model, with results that are depicted in Fig. ?? - Fig. 10.
+The paper is structured as follows. In Section 2, we discuss the parameters that describe the DM spike near the black hole. In Section 3, we discuss our main results in general DM models. In Section 4, we describe our results in the context of a simplified DM model, in which dark matter annihilates via t-channel exchange of charged mediators. In Section 5, we briefly discuss what can be learned about the DM spike under the assumption of a particular DM model, in this case one designed to explain the excess of GeV photons from the GC [34], [35], [36]. We end with our Conclusions.

+2 Dark Matter Spike Near the Supermassive Black Hole
+
+In this section, we discuss the profile of a DM spike near the SMBH in the inner subparsec region of our Galaxy. This type of DM spike has been studied by many groups, beginning with the work of Gondolo and Silk [3]. In the following, we remain agnostic about the nature of DM, and parametrize its annihilation cross section as [20]
+
+v  c0 + c1
+
+v c
+
+2
+,
+
+(2.1)
+
+where c0 is the velocity-independent s-wave contribution, and c1 is the v2-suppressed contribution. We note that the velocity-suppressed terms arise from both s-wave and p-wave
+
+matrix elements. We consider a SMBH at the center of our Galaxy [1] with mass, Mbh, and Schwarzchild
+radius, rSch.,
+
+Mbh = 4 � 106M rSch.  4 � 10-7 pc .
+
+(2.2)
+
+If the growth of the SMBH was adiabatic, and assuming collisionless dark matter particles, one finds that an original DM cusp with density profile (r)  r-c becomes contracted into a spike with profile (r)  r-sp at small radii [3, 4]. In fact, at the smallest radii, just outside rSch., the DM density likely attains a maximum or plateau value. There are thus three distinct regions of the DM density profile, which will be discussed in detail in Section 2.2. Specifically, the profile is given by the analytic form
+
+  (rcore)  (r) = 0 (r/rsp)-sp
+
+ 
+
+0
+
+(r/rsp
+
+)-c
+
+10rSch. < r  rcore rcore < r  rsp rsp < r
+
+(Region III), (Region II), (Region I).
+
+(2.3)
+
+Here, rsp and rcore denote the spike and core radii, respectively. The profile depends on the steepness parameters sp and c. Three example profiles are shown in Fig. 1.
+The formation of a DM spike is contingent on several conditions, detailed for example in [3] and [4]. After its formation, the DM spike may be dampened due to gravitational interactions with stars near the GC, or disrupted due to halo mergers, either of which can substantially reduce the steepness of the spike [4]. Here we consider the case of an idealized (undepleted) spike, as well as a spike that has been depleted due to gravitational interactions with stars. For the latter, we follow the parametrization of [8].
+We first give details about the spike and core radii, rsp and rcore, then we describe the physics of the profile for each of the three regions.
+
+2.1 Spike Radius (rsp) and Depletion Effects In the idealized case, the spike radius does not evolve in time and is given by
+
+rsp(t) = rsp(0)  0.2rh (Idealized Case).

+
+  93 km/s rh  1.99 pc
+
+(2.7)
+
+for the DM velocity dispersion and the radius of influence of the black hole. In the idealized case, this leads to a spike radius of
+
+rsp = 0.40 pc (Idealized Case) ,
+
+(2.8)
+
+denoted as rsp(0) in Fig. 1.
+
+�5�
+
+Gravitational interactions between DM and baryons will lead to changes from the idealized case of Eq. 2.4. Stars in the galactic nucleus have much larger kinetic energies than the DM particles, and the interactions between the two tend to heat up the DM. This leads to a dampening of the spike [5]. The decay of the spike can be described roughly as
+
+(r, t)  (r, 0) e-/2 ,
+
+(2.9)
+
+where  is the time since the spike formed in units of the heating time, theat [8]. The heating time is theat  109 years, and we will take  = 10 [25], though we note that these values are not well constrained.
+The evolution of the spike radius can be described as [8]
+
+rsp(t) = rsp(0) � exp
+
+- 2(sp - c)
+
+(Depleted Case),
+
+(2.10)
+
+where rsp(0) = 0.2rh is the initial value of the spike radius. Typical values for the depleted spike radius are
+
+rsp = 0.0094 pc for c = 1.0 rsp = 0.0015 pc for c = 1.5 (Depleted Case),
+
+(2.11)
+
+assuming a relation between sp and c as in Equation 2.15, described in Section 2.2. Note that the spike radius in the depleted case is much smaller than in the idealized case, and also that there is significant variation in the spike radius depending on c. In Fig. 1 we show an idealized spike (solid black), as well as two examples of depleted spikes, one with  = 10 (think blue dashed) and one with  = 4, i.e. theat = 2.5 � 109, (thin blue dashed). Even for  = 4, we see that the spike is significantly depleted. Spikes of such varying size lead to a large range of predicted indirect signals of DM annihilation. Throughout the rest of this study, we restrict our attention on the case of  = 10 to demonstrate the effects of depletion.
+
+2.2 Dark Matter Density Profile
+
+In this section, we discuss the halo profile of the DM spike, starting from the outermost region
+
+and going to the innermost region.
+
+Region I - Outside the spike radius rsp: Typical DM halo profiles, such as NFW, are characterized by a double power law profile. For the Milky Way, at radii less than O(10)
+
+kpc, the profile is a single power law, which we take to be relevant for r > rsp, the radius inside which the spike is significant. We may therefore parametrize the DM profile in Region
+
+I as
+
+(r) = 0
+
+r rsp
+
+-c
+
+for rsp < r .
+
+(2.12)
+
+The normalization of the density profile 0 is set by extrapolating inwards from the solar
+
+radius
+
+0 = 
+
+r rsp
+
+c
+,
+
+(2.13)
+
+�6�
+
+where we take the density at the solar radius to be  = 0.3 GeV/cm3. N-body simulations that include only DM (and no baryonic matter) generally favor inner
+slopes of c  1, which is the canonical NFW value. However, baryonic interactions affect the profile in the inner 10 kpc of our galaxy, and can substantially steepen the power-law behavior [27�31]. Furthermore, observations are compatible with c as large as at least 1.5 [31]. Here we consider a range of cusp exponents, allowing values of c  [1.0, 1.5].
+Region II - Inside the spike radius rsp but outside the core radius rcore: The spike profile itself is also parametrized as a simple power law,
+
+(r) = 0
+
+r rsp
+
+-sp
+
+for rcore < r  rsp ,
+
+(2.14)
+
+where the spike slope, sp may or may not be directly related to the cusp slope, c. For
+
+collisionless DM forming a spike due to the adiabatic growth of the black hole, the spike slope
+
+obeys the relation
+
+sp
+
+=
+
+9 - 2c 4 - c
+
+,
+
+(2.15)
+
+which yields a value sp  2.3 - 2.4 for 1.0  c  1.5. This relation holds for a central black
+
+hole that grows adiabatically from a small seed.
+
+However, the spike slope may be significantly different than the adiabatic expectation
+
+under different assumptions. If the black hole appeared instantaneously, then one obtains
+
+sp = 4/3 [4]. Black hole mergers at the center of the progenitor halo can give sp = 1/2, a
+
+value that is also obtained if the black hole grows away from the center of the DM distribution
+
+[4]. As above, we focus on the effect of stellar heating, which could result in a final equilibrium
+
+value as low as sp  1.5 [5, 7]. Note that more recent work by the author of [5], namely [8],
+
+indicates that the effect of stellar heating will be a decrease in rsp, rather than a direct decrease
+
+in sp with rsp unchanged. In the remainder of the paper, we primarily follow [8], though we
+
+also address the possibility of a reduced value of sp relative to the adiabatic expectation. In
+
+the latter case, we choose sp = 1.8, following [10].
+
+Region III - Inside the core radius rcore: At very small radii, the DM density can
+
+reach very high values. However, that implies large values of the annihilation cross section,
+
+which acts to reduce the density. We make the conservative assumption that an annihilation
+
+plateau is formed in this region, with
+
+(r) = (rcore) for 10 rSch. < r  rcore ,
+
+(2.16)
+
+where the relevant inner radius is related to the Schwarzschild radius of the black hole, and the outer radius is the core radius, defined by the relation
+
+(rcore) m
+
+v
+
+ ( theat)-1 ,
+
+(2.17)
+
+which depends on the thermally averaged annihilation cross section times velocity, v , and the WIMP mass, m.
+
+�7�
+
+We note that in the general case of arbitrary velocity anisotropy, instead of circular particle orbits, a cusp with   r(--1/2) may develop in the center, where  is the anisotropy coefficient [32]. Though the cusp is expected to be very weak, it may further enhance the flux of DM annihilation products from the very central region of the Galaxy [12]. Here we take the simple limit of circular orbits, in which case there is a flat plateau as depicted in Fig. 1.

+
+Since the ratio v/c appears in the partial wave expansion of the annihilation cross section, given by Eq. 2.1, the annihilation cross section is therefore position-dependent, and the velocity-suppressed contribution can become large near the SMBH. In fact, from Eq. 2.17, we see that rcore, and therefore also (r) for r < rcore, may be sensitive to the velocity-suppressed contribution to the annihilation cross section, and will in general vary with the coefficient c1 even for fixed c0.

+3 Results: Generic DM Model
+
+In this section, we discuss our calculation of the gamma-ray flux from a DM spike at the Galactic Center, then we discuss the sensitivity of constraints on the properties of DM to assumptions about the form of the spike. We begin by discussing depleted spikes, i.e. those for which the spike density is dampened as in Eq. 2.9, which manifests as a decrease in the spike radius according to Eq. 2.10. In these cases, we assume the standard adiabatic relation for sp(c), Eq. 2.15. Example profiles are shown as blue dashed contours in Fig. 1, and our results for depleted spikes are presented in Figs. 2-5. Next, we turn our attention to idealized spikes, which have not suffered a decrease in rsp. In this case we also consider both the adiabatic expectation for sp, an example of which is shown as the solid black contour in Fig. 1, while our general results are presented in Fig. 6, as well as the effect of a direct decrease in sp with no change in spike radius, the results for which are presented in Fig. 7.

We note that the usual separation between the calculation of the astrophysical J-factor and the annihilation cross section is no longer applicable here, since the annihilation cross section itself depends on position, from Eq. 2.18.

+
+If the DM spike is a bright and compact enough source of photons, it may have been identified as a point source in Fermi-LAT 's Third Point Source Catalog. We will thus be interested in computing the total flux from the DM spike and comparing the brightness to point sources in the same region. As a comparative value that determines observability, we consider the integrated flux from 1 to 100 GeV for the Fermi 3FGL source J1745.6-2859c (Sgr A), which we denote as Fermi = 2.18�10-8 photons/cm2s. If the flux from the spike exceeds this value, we consider the model to be excluded. In fact, the bulk of the contribution to the gamma-ray flux from Sgr A is from standard astrophysics, rather than DM annihilation, as a spectral analysis would reveal (see, eg. [37]). Here we are interested only in order of magnitude estimates, and prefer to remain agnostic about the nature of the DM, so we take the only constraint to be the upper limit on the integrated flux. Furthermore, rather than assuming a specific final state to which dark matter annihilates, we choose as a benchmark value for the integrated photon count N = 1, with the flux scaling  N , and integrate over a fixed angular acceptance of 0.1 1.
+3.1 Depleted Spike
+In Figures 2 and 3 we present our results in the (c0, c1) plane for m = 100 GeV and m = 200 GeV, respectively, for the case of a depleted spike. We explore a range of values of c = 1.0, 1.3, and 1.5. The contours show the total integrated flux  in units of Fermi. In both figures, we see that for c 1.3, the total integrated flux  is below current observational sensitivity for the entirety of the parameter space shown, i.e. c0 10-25 cm3 s-1 and c1 10-24 cm3 s-1. For m = 100 GeV and c = 1.5, the observed gamma-ray flux constrains models with annihilation cross section c0 1.6�10-26 cm3 s-1. Therefore a canonical thermal relic with cross section 3 � 10-26 cm3 s-1 is excluded by this choice of spike parameters if its mass is 100 GeV. In Fig. 3 we see that the constraints weaken as the DM mass increases.
+One can also see that if the velocity-dependent component c1 provides the dominant contribution to the photon flux, it must be significantly larger (by a few orders of magnitude) than c0 need be if it dominates. This is due to the factor (v/c)2  (rSch./2r), which is small away from the central black hole. At the end of the day, the velocity-independent contribution to the annihilation cross section is likely still dominant. Note, however, that it is conceivable that c0 = 0, in which case a very large value of c1 could lead to a signal from DM annihilation in the spike, when otherwise no indirect detection signal would be expected.
+In Fig. 4, we show contours of the ratio /NFW, where  and NFW are the total integrated flux from annihilation of 100 GeV DM particles in the presence of a depleted spike with c = 1.5 and for a standard NFW profile (c = 1.0) with no spike. In the former case, the spike power law inside the spike radius is given by the standard adiabatic relation, Eq. 2.15. Unsurprisingly, we see that large enhancement factors are obtained relative to what
+1Choosing a small angular acceptance rather than using the full PSF may underestimate the flux from the spike by a factor of a few, depending on the final state. Here, we prefer agnosticism regarding the annihilations themselves, and are interested in broad trends in detectability. We will see that the exponents c and sp can cause variations in the flux by several orders of magnitude.

+
+one would expect for a standard NFW profile, even in the case of significant depletion as presented here. This is due almost exclusively to the large cusp exponent, c. Indeed, for this value of c, moderate values of c0 and c1 lead to an almost imperceptible spike (that is, rsp  rcore). However, even in this case, if c1 c0, then the impact of annihilations in the very central region of the spike becomes enhanced by the high velocities of the DM particles,.

+
+First, we address the case of a truly idealized spike; one that has not suffered depletion
+
+in any way and formed adiabatically. In Fig. 6, we show the observational limit as a function
+
+of the DM mass for an idealized spike with spike radius given by Eq. 2.8 and its spike power
+
+law given by the adiabatic expectation, Eq. 2.15. The contours represent the total integrated
+
+flux  in units of F ermi = 2.18 � 10-8 photons/cm2s in the energy range 1-100 GeV for an

+
+c = 1.2, c = 1.3, c = 1.4, and c = 1.5, respectively. In Fig. 6, again, we see the 1/m2 dependence, but the most striking feature is clearly the
+much large mass reach in this case relative to the depleted case shown in Fig. 5. Fig. 6 shows
+
+that if the spike has suffered no depletion, then even very large DM masses are incompatible
+
+c 1.3. Another way of reading this is that if the DM spike at our Galactic Center has not
+
+suffered much depletion, then the absence of a DM signal gives us an upper limit on c.
+
+Lastly, in Fig. 7 we show the observational limit as a function of the DM mass for the
+
+case of an idealized spike with spike radius given by Eq. 2.8, but with sp = 1.8. One can view
+
+this as a different type of depletion, which may be from gravitational interactions with stars,
+
+or potentially from some other mechanism, however it is idealized in the sense that the spike
+
+radius, rsp given by Eq. 2.4, is unchanged over time. Other parameter choices are identical to
+
+Fig. 6. Obviously, since the spike exponent is smaller in this case than in the truly idealized
+
+spike shown in Fig. 6, the mass reach is substantially reduced. In fact, comparing Figs. 7 and
+
+5, we see that flux from an idealized spike with sp = 1.8 is just a factor of a few larger than
+
+the flux from a depleted spike with the same c. In the future, these some-what degenerate
+
+cases may be resolved by carefully studying the extended spatial morphology (rather than
+
+just the point source flux) of a gamma-ray signal of DM annihilation.
+
+Our results from this section may be summarized as follows: The degree to which the
+
+DM spike near the black hole can constrain DM models depends strongly on the parameters
+
+that determine the spike profile, such as the spike radius rsp and the parameters sp and c
+
+describing the profile power-law behavior inside and outside the spike radius, respectively.
+
+Different choices of these parameters have been considered, ranked in order from the most

+
+4 Results: Constraints on Simplified Models
+
+In this section, we present a particular example that demonstrates the impact of the spike form on conclusions regarding the particle physics of DM interactions. Specifically, we describe the constraints that are obtained on simplified models of DM with t-channel mediators. For concreteness, we take the DM mass to be 100 GeV, and consider a subset of the parametrizations discussed in section 3. As an example, we consider DM annihilating to bb final states. We first describe this class of simplified models and give an overview of the calculation of the annihilation cross section, then we provide a discussion of the results.
+
+4.1 Simplified Model with t-Channel Mediators
+In this section, we describe some general features of models of DM that annihilate primarily through the t-channel. There is a vast amount of literature on these models, and we refer the reader to [21] and references therein.
+For simplicity, we focus on Majorana DM candidates  with mass m that couple to both left and right SM fermions fL,R. The mediator sector consists of a pair of scalars fL,R, with a mixing angle  [22], [23]. The standard case of mediator sectors coupling to right-handed SM fermions corresponds to the choice  = /2.
+The interaction Lagrangian is given by
+
+Lint = LfLPLf + RfR PRf + c.c. ,
+
+(4.1)
+
+where the Yukawa couplings L,R may in general contain a CP -violating phase,
+
+L  |L| ei/2 ,
+
+R  |R| e-i/2 .

+
+Here, we set  = 0. The mixing angle  between the scalar mass and chiral eigenstates is

+given by

+The two scalar mass eigenvalues are denoted as mf1 and mf2 in the following. There are thus the following free parameters in this class of simplified models [24]:

+
+In fact, this simplified model represents a slice of the parameter space of the Minimal

+The relevant diagrams for DM annihilation in this model are given in Fig. 8. Parametrizing the annihilation cross section in the standard way, the velocity-independent s-wave contribution c0 is given in the limit mf /mf~i  0 by the simple expression

+We note that the velocity-suppressed terms arise from both s-wave and p-wave matrix elements. We also note that c0 and c1 do depend on  in terms proportional to mf . Additionally, these mf -dependent terms carry coefficients involving YL and YR such that there can be interesting cancellations, even in c0. In our results, we will use the full expressions for c0 and c1, including mf -dependent terms.
+
+4.2 Constraints on Simplified Models with t-Channel Mediators
+We now discuss the constraints in the context of the simplified model introduced above. We adapt Fig. 2, which gives contours of the flux  in units of the current observational limit F ermi in the (c0, c1) plane, and overlay a scan over the parameters of our simplified model. We consider two representative cases: the case of a depleted spike with c = 1.3, and the case of an idealized spike with c = 1.0. For each case, we scan over the mixing angle .
+In the left and right panels of Fig. 9, we consider the case of a depleted spike and idealized spike, respectively. The cyan dots show a scan over the mixing angle  defined by Eq. 4.3, holding the Yukawa couplings fixed at their supersymmetric values given in Eq. 4.4. The scan is performed in the range  = 0 to /2, which traces out a boomerang in the plane. The lowenergy spectrum of the SUSY model we consider consists of bino DM with mass m = 100 GeV, the lightest bottom squark with mass m~b = 105 GeV, and all other superpartners heavy. The solid black line denotes the contour of the integrated flux F ermi = 2.18 � 10-8 photons/cm2s.
+From the depleted case with c = 1.3 considered in the left panel of Fig. 9, we can see that current observational constraints just barely begin to constrain the parameter space. For c = 1.0, as one would expect, the results are even weaker, while we have checked that the case of c = 1.5 constrains a significant portion of the parameter space. Indeed, the constraints are much stronger for the case of an idealized spike, shown in the right panel of Fig. 9. We can see that even for c = 1.0 in the case of an idealized spike, the current observational limits constrain a large part of the parameter space.
+The resulting constraints on  are displayed in Fig. 10. The magenta and cyan curves show the dependence of c0 and c1 on  as obtained from Eq. 4.5 and Eq. 4.6, respectively. For

+Figure 9. Depleted/Idealized spike, Simplified model - scan over mixing angle : In the left panel we present the constraints under the assumption of a depleted spike, and in the right panel we assume an idealized spike. In each case, the green points correspond to a scan over the mediator mixing angle  defined by Eq. 4.3. The Yukawa couplings are held fixed at their supersymmetric values, given by Eq. 4.4. The DM mass is 100 GeV and the lightest sbottom mass is 105 GeV, with all other superpartners heavy. The solid black line denotes the contour of the integrated flux F ermi = 2.18 � 10-8 photons/cm2s, coming from the source 3FGL J1745.6-2859c (Sgr A), assuming an energy range of 1-100 GeV and bb final states in DM annihilation. The spike profile is given by Eq. 2.3. In the left panel, the spike radius is given by the depleted case in Eq. 2.10 and c = 1.3, yielding sp  2.37. In the right panel, the spike radius is given by the idealized case in Eq. 2.8 and c = 1.0, yielding sp  2.33.
+
+  0, /2, the annihilation cross section drops precipitously since the contribution from c0 suffers from chiral suppression and the contribution from c1 is velocity-suppressed. These are the regions where the scans in Fig. 9 are cut off towards the left, where c0 becomes small. Conversely, there is a range of values   0.08 - 0.25, where c1 becomes small, but c0 remains large. These are the regions that are cut off towards the bottom of the scans in Fig. 9, where c1 is small.
+The horizontal dotted line in Fig. 10 corresponds to c0  10-27 cm3 s-1, which is where the  = F ermi contour for the idealized case in the right panel of Fig. 9 intersects the c0 axis. Values of c0 larger than this yield an integrated photon flux that is constrained by the source 3FGL J1745.6-2859c (Sgr A). Thus, from Fig. 10, it is clear that either   0 or   /2 if the spike is idealized. Very different conclusions are reached if the spike is depleted.
+While this simplified model describes a subset of the MSSM parameter space, it need not be confined to the MSSM. For example, it is possible that the Yukawa couplings, L,R, deviate from their MSSM values. In the absence of a signal, one could then constrain the couplings L,R for any combination of new particle masses and mixings. If the form of the spike is understood, using the point source flux to constrain the model parameters could be

+a powerful technique. Alternatively, as will be explored in the next section, if we have some indication of the DM model, then the point source flux could help us understand the spike morphology, and therefore provide a window into the astrophysics of the very central region of our Galaxy.
+
+5 Constraints on Spike Parameters from DM Annihilations
+In this Section, we invert the approach we have hitherto taken to demonstrate the potential power of gamma-ray observations of a known DM candidate to determine the spike profile (and potentially learn something about the astrophysics that led to it). Although the most recent analysis indicates that the excess of GeV photons from the Galactic Center region observed by Fermi-LAT is most likely not due to DM [38], it is instructive to take this case
+
+� 21 �
+
+as an example. We calculate the constraints on the spike parameters in our model under the assumption of a particular DM model designed to explain the excess of  1 - 3 GeV gamma-rays from the Galactic Center. Specifically, we take as our benchmark point
+
+m = 49 GeV c0 = 1.76 � 10-26 cm3s-1 c1 = 1.0 � 10-30 cm3s-1,
+
+(5.1)
+
+and assume bb final states, as in [36], [35], [34]. Clearly, many choices for the spike parameters and the relationships among them exist,
+and considering different combinations would lead to different kinds of constraints on the parameter space. As a representative case, we consider a depleted spike and put constraints on the sp vs. c plane. The spike radius is given by Eq. 2.10, and though we do not explicitly enforce the adiabatic relation for sp, we do plot it as a dashed line in the plane.
+The results are displayed in Fig. 11. The solid black contours denote the integrated flux  in units of F ermi = 2.18 � 10-8 photons/cm2s coming from the source 3FGL J1745.62859c (Sgr A), assuming an energy range of 1-100 GeV. The dashed line shows the adiabatic relation between sp and c given by Eq. 2.15. It is clear that for a depleted spike, c 1.3 is incompatible with a DM interpretation of the Galactic Center excess for most values of sp. This is even true for very steep spikes with large sp; as long as c is not too large, these scenarios are not excluded by the point source flux.
+Additionally, the fact that the contours are nearly independent of sp, i.e. mostly vertical, indicates that it is not actually the spike that is responsible for the bulk of the photons. Instead, the spike is actually fairly insignificant relative to the smooth component of the halo. Ultimately, with some knowledge of the properties of DM, perhaps an observed, or unobserved, flux may help us learn about the DM profile near the Galactic Center, and possibly even the astrophysical mechanisms at play.
+In Fig. 12, we display the constraints on a DM candidate with a mass of 49 GeV, but allowing the coefficients c0 and c1 as free parameters. The contours denote the cases where the integrated flux  = F ermi = 2.18 � 10-8 photons/cm2s. The magenta, cyan, and blue contours correspond to c = 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, respectively. The inset shows the contour corresponding to c = 1.6. If c is very large, then the DM annihilation cross section must be very small indeed, to avoid overproducing the GC point source gamma-ray flux.
+
+6 Conclusions
+In this paper, we have studied contributions of a DM spike near the central black hole of our Galaxy to the gamma-ray flux . As our reference gamma-ray source, we have taken 3FGL J1745.6-2859c (Sgr A) from Fermi-LAT 's Third Point Source Catalog. We have taken into account a variety of astrophysical parameters describing the spike, and calculated the resulting constraints on general models of DM. We have then taken these constraints and applied them

+to a specific simplified model of fermionic DM with t-channel mediators. Finally, we have inverted our approach and considered the case of a DM candidate fitting the Galactic Center excess, and calculated the resulting constraints on the space of astrophysical spike parameters.
+We have found that the spike formation history and profile parameters have a profound effect on the extent to which models of DM can be constrained.
+(i) For the most conservative choice of parameters (a depleted spike with radius given by Eq. depletion, c = 1.0), the flux for a 100 GeV thermal relic is several order of magnitude below current observational limits. We have then considered a series of less conservative choices.

The contours denote the cases where the integrated flux  = F ermi = 2.18 � 10-8 photons/cm2s coming from the source 3FGL J1745.6-2859c (Sgr A), assuming an energy range of 1-100 GeV and bb final states in DM annihilation. The spike profile is given by Eq. 2.3. The spike radius is given by the depleted case in Eq. 2.10, with values rsp  0.002 - 0.046 pc. The magenta, cyan, and blue contours correspond to c = 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, respectively. The inset shows the contour corresponding to c = 1.6.
+(ii) A depleted spike with steeper cusp profile can constrain thermal relics of different masses depending on c, as shown in Fig. 5. We see that thermal relics, approximately of masses 15 GeV, 50 GeV, and 140 GeV, are constrained by the choice of spike profile and different selections of c = 1.3, 1.4, and 1.5, respectively.
+(iii) An idealized spike which has not undergone attenuation improves the results considerably; the mass reach is shown in Fig. 6. This assumes that the inner spike profile corresponds to a scenario where the DM spike formed in response to the adiabatic growth of the black hole, i.e., sp  2.3 - 2.4. We see that thermal relics, approximately of masses 25 GeV, 80 GeV, and 240 GeV, are constrained by the choice of spike profile and different selections of c = 1.0, 1.1, and 1.2, respectively.
+
+� 24 �
+
+(iv) Relaxing the assumption of an adiabatic growth of the black hole results in less steep spike profiles; for a particular choice of smoother profile sp = 1.8, the mass reach is shown in Fig. 7. We see that thermal relics, approximately of masses 15 GeV, 50 GeV, and 140 GeV, are constrained by the choice of spike profile and different selections of c = 1.2, 1.3, and 1.4, respectively.
+We have then gone on to apply these results for the simplified model of fermionic DM with t-channel mediators described by Eq. 4.1. In particular, we have performed scans over the mixing angle  and the Yukawa couplings of the theory, and checked to what extent the models are constrained by the observational limits of the gamma-ray flux from 3FGL J1745.6-2859c (Sgr A). We have found that while a depleted spike radius just barely begins to constrain the parameter space, an idealized spike constrains large parts of it, even for the most conservative choice of the cusp profile c = 1.0.
+Furthermore, we explored the possibility of constraining the space of astrophysical spike parameters, assuming that we know something about the properties of the DM, taking as an example a proposed DM candidate to explain the excess of GeV photons from the Galactic Center observed by Fermi-LAT. If the spike is depleted, we find that moderate values of c 1.3 would be compatible with this particular model of DM for most values of sp, but some values of c could certainly be excluded.
+Finally, we'd like to note that the depletion we assume is for a heating timescale of 109 yr, which may be either shorter or longer than is realized in nature. If depletion is less strong, which here might be realized by a longer heating timescale, then the fluxes from any given model would be larger. This means that the power to exclude DM models would be greater, or, conversely, the power to use some knowledge about the properties of DM to constrain sp and c would be greater than in the depleted scenarios presented here.

+The Discrete Stochastic Galerkin Method for Hyperbolic Equations with Non-smooth and
+Random Coefficients
+Shi Jin and Zheng Ma
+January 3, 2017
+Abstract We develop a general polynomial chaos (gPC) based stochastic Galerkin (SG) for hyperbolic equations with random and singular coefficients. Due to the singular nature of the solution, the standard gPC-SG methods may suffer from a poor or even non convergence. Taking advantage of the fact that the discrete solution, by the central type finite difference or finite volume approximations in space and time for example, is smoother, we first discretize the equation by a smooth finite difference or finite volume scheme, and then use the gPC-SG approximation to the discrete system. The jump condition at the interface is treated using the immersed upwind methods introduced in [8, 12]. This yields a method that converges with the spectral accuracy for finite mesh size and time step. We use a linear hyperbolic equation with discontinuous and random coefficient, and the Liouville equation with discontinuous and random potential, to illustrate our idea, with both one and second order spatial discretizations. Spectral convergence is established for the first equation, and numerical examples for both equations show the desired accuracy of the method.

+1 Introduction
+We are interested in developing efficient numerical methods to solve linear hyperbolic equations with non-smooth and uncertain coefficients. Such problems arise in wave propagation in heterogeneous media, through interfaces between different media, or potential barriers, making the coefficients in these equations discontinuous or even more singular. Random uncertainties arise due to modeling or experiment errors. These errors are inevitable since the fluxes in hyperbolic equations are often given by empirical laws, equations of state or moment closures which are often ad hoc.
+When hyperbolic equations contain singular coefficients, one usually needs to provide an extra physical condition at the singular points to make the initial or boundary value problems well-posed and to account for the correct physics of waves at the interface or barrier [8, 12]. In the case of potential barriers, a natural physical condition is the transmission and reflection conditions, and such conditions can be built into the numerical fluxes in a natural way, in the framework of the Hamiltonian-Preserving schemes [12, 13]. This is the approach we will take to tackle the problems with singular coefficients.
+To handle the difficulty induced by the random uncertainties, we will utilize the generalized polynomial chaos (gPC) expansion based stochastic Galerkin (SG) method [1, 5, 7, 15, 18, 21, 23, 24]. Such methods outperform the classical Monte-Carlo method in that, given sufficient regularity of the solution in the random space, they can achieve the spectral convergence, thus are much more efficient for problems with random uncertainties. Unfortunately, for hyperbolic problems, one often is not blessed with such regularities, which leads to significant reduction of order of convergence [17, 26], thus slows down the computation or even gives non-convergent results due to Gibbs' phenomenon. The problems under study in this paper are problems with discontinuous solutions in the random space, due to jumps of solutions formed at the interfaces or barriers which will propagate into the random space.
+A standard gPC-SG method begins with a gPC approximation of the original differential equation in the random space, yielding a deterministic system of equations for the gPC coefficients (while the randomness is built into the basis functions which are orthonormal polynomials), which is then discretized by standard schemes (finite difference, finite volume, finite element, or spectral methods) in space and time. The gPC approximation is accurate if solutions to the original problem are smooth in the random space. This is not the case for the problems under study.
+2
+
+Our central idea in this paper is to reverse the above gPC-SG process. Namely, we first discretize the original equation in space and time, using smooth numerical fluxes, and then apply the gPC approximation to this discrete equation. Since the discrete solution is more regular than the continuous one, the gPC approximation is applied to a smoother function (for fixed time step and mesh size), thus one expects a better convergence rate. We refer to such gPC-SG methods as the discrete gPC-SG methods.
+For hyperbolic equations, the smooth numerical fluxes are usually central differences which do not depend on the characteristic information (for examples the Lax-Friedrichs, the Lax-Wendroff scheme, etc.). The upwind type schemes are not smooth, since they depend on the sign of the absolute value of the characteristic speeds thus do not yield smooth numerical fluxes. For second order scheme, in order to suppress numerical viscosity, one usually uses slope limiters or ENO or WENO type reconstruction [14,16,19] which in general are not smooth functions. In order to keep the numerical flux smooth, we use the smooth BAP slope limiter introduced in [3].
+In this paper we will develop this idea for two problems. The first is a scalar hyperbolic equation with a discontinuous and random coefficient:
+
+ut (x, t , z) + c(x, z)u(x, t , z) x = 0, t > 0.
+
+(1.1)
+
+Here c(x, z) is the random coefficient where z is a random variable in a properly defined
+
+complete random space with event space  and probability distribution function (z).
+
+c(x, z) is discontinuous respect to x, which corresponds to an interface between differ-
+
+ent media. The second is the Liouville equation for the particle density distribution
+
+u(x, t , z) > 0:
+
+ut + vux - Vx uv = 0, t > 0, x, v  R,
+
+(1.2)
+
+in which the potential function V (x, z) may be discontinuous in x, corresponding to a potential barrier. The quantities of interest to be computed in these problems include the expectation of u,
+
+E[u] = u(z)(z) dz.
+
+(1.3)
+
+and its variance
+
+V[u] := E (u - E(u))2 = u(z)2(z) dz - (E[u])2
+
+(1.4)
+
+For equation (1.1), by using the Lax-Friedrichs scheme followed by the gPC-SG approximation, we will establish the regularity and consequently the spectral convergence of the proposed method in the random space, while the numerical convergence in space and time is the same as the deterministic problem established in [11]. The error will be verified numerically, for both the convection and the Liouville equations.
+
+3
+
+In such problems the uncertainty may also come from the initial data. This is a well-studied problem [6, 26] and our method can obviously be used in this case.
+The paper is organized as follows. In Section 2, we will present the discrete gPC-SG method for the convection equation (1.1), and conduct the regularity and numerical convergence analysis for the fully discrete scheme. In Section 3, we will show how to use this idea for the Liouville equation for both first and second order spatial discretizations. In Section 4, we will present numerical examples for both equations that will show an exponential convergence in the random space.
+
+2 A Discrete gPC-SG scheme for convection equation with discontinuous wave speed
+
+We first consider a scalar model convection equation
+
+ut (x, t , z) + c(x, z)u(x, t , z) x = 0, t > 0, u(x, 0, z) = u0(x, z).
+
+(2.1)
+
+Here we consider the case that c(x, z) can be discontinuous with respect to x at some
+
+point, for example,
+
+c-(z) > 0, if x < 0, c(x, z) = c+(z) > 0, if x > 0.
+
+(2.2)
+
+As in [8], an interface condition at x = 0 is needed to make the problem well-posed:
+
+u(0-, t , z) = (z)u(0+, t , z).
+
+(2.3)
+
+where (z) = 1 corresponds to conservation of mass or (z) = c-(z)/c+(z) for the conservation of flux which is the case we will use in the sequel. Notice that here we assume c(x, z) is smooth enough with respect to the random variable z, and only has one discontinuous point at x = 0.
+The discontinuity of u(x, t , z) generated by the interface condition (2.3) will propagate into the random space, preventing the gPC method from high order convergence due to Gibb's phenomenon. Here we propose a slightly different approach from the traditional gPC method: We first discretize equation (2.1) in space and time as done in [11] with the random variable z as a fixed parameter. A key idea in [11] is to "immerse" the interface condition (2.3) into the scheme. The gPC method will then be applied to the discrete system.
+
+4
+
+2.1 The scheme
+
+Let the spatial mesh be xi = i x, where i  Z, the set of all integers, and x is the mesh size. Let t n = nt be the discrete time where t is the time step. Let Uin(z) = U (xi , t n, z) be the numerical approximation of u(xi , t n, z). The immersed upwind scheme proposed
+by Jin and Qi in [11], for (2.1) (2.3) is
+
+Uin+1(z) = (1 - -(z))Uin(z) + -(z)Uin-1(z), Uin+1(z) = (1 - +(z))Uin(z) + -(z)Uin-1(z), Uin+1(z) = (1 - +(z))Uin(z) + +(z)Uin-1(z),
+
+if i  0, if i = 1, if i  2,
+
+(2.4)
+
+where �(z) = c�(z)t /x. Notice, from this discrete scheme (2.4), if one assumes that Uin(z) is a smooth func-
+tion of z for each i , then after one time step, Uin+1(z) is still a smooth function of z. The reason is simple: �(z) = c�(z)t /x is a smooth function of z! Since we assume the initial data is smooth with respect to z, the numerical solution at any time t n should
+also be smooth with respect to z. Then if applying the standard gPC Galerkin method to
+this discrete system, one can expect a fast convergence of gPC expansion to this discrete solution when the physical mesh size x and t are fixed.
+First we recall the scheme:

+
++
+
++ (z )Uin-1 (z
+
+)
+
+if i  0, if i = 1, if i  2.
+
+(2.5)
+
+following the standard gPC Galerkin framework, we apply the gPC expansion of z to Uin(z). Namely, we seek an approximate solution in the form of gPC expansion, i.e.
+
+K
+Uin,(K )(z) = U^in,(k)Pk (z),
+k =0
+
+(2.6)
+
+where Pk (z) form an orthonormal polynomial basis with weights (z), and the degree of Pk (z) of k satisfying
+
+Pi , P j  = Pi (z)P j (z)(z) dz = i j ,
+
+(2.7)
+
+with the weighted inner product defined as
+
+ f , g  = f (z)g (z)(z) dz,
+
+(2.8)
+
+5
+
+and i j is the Kronecker delta function. The expansion coefficients are determined as
+
+U^in,(k) = Uin(z)Pk (z)(z) dz.
+
+(2.9)
+
+By utilizing the expansion (2.6) and employing a Galerkin projection, the coefficients U^in,(k) satisfy the following system of equations
+
+
+

+
+�k,m = c�(z)Pk (z)Pm(z)(z) dz .
+
+(2.11)
+
+2.2 The error estimate and convergence analysis
+We first introduce some notations, spaces and norms that will be used for our analysis. We assume that u(x, t , z) has a compact support in the domain D = [a, b], where a < 0 and b > 0 such that the domain includes the interface x = 0. -M  i  M is the spatial discretization index and x = (b - a)/(2M + 1). The time step index is n = 0, 1, . . . .

+
+2.2.1 Regularity of the discrete solution in the random space
+
+In order to obtain the error estimate, we need to investigate the regularity of discrete
+solution Uin(z) in the random space. It is natural that some assumptions for the given data will be made. More precisely, we make the following assumptions (see [20, 26]).
+
+Assumption 2.1.
+
+mzax|sz �(z)|   , mDax|sz u0(x, z)|   , 0  s  ,
+
+(2.15)
+
+where 0  �(z) = c�(z)t /x  1 and = 1, 2, . . . and ,  are positive constants. Without
+
+loss of generality, we also assume a bounded constant  = max  ,  , 1 .
+
+Note that in (2.15) the constants  and  are independent of x. We are now ready to state and prove the following regularity result.
+
+Theorem 2.1. Under Assumption (2.15), the discrete solution Uin(z) have properties

+

+(2.39)

+(2.44)
+
+We are now ready to state the convergence theorem of gPC-SG method for the discrete scheme:

+
+(2.45)

+Proof. From Lemma 2.1 and Lemma 2.2, one has

+
+which completes the proof.
+
+Remark 2.2. The constant C ( , n) = O 2( +1)n

+( +1)T
+= O 2 t
+
+.
+
+This implies a spectral
+
+convergence in gPC order K for every fixed t .
+

+
+2.2.3 An error estimate of the discrete gPC method
+
+Now we are ready to prove the main result of the error estimate. Part of this estimate uses the error estimate uses the result of Jin and Qi [11] for the deterministic problem.
+
+Lemma 2.3. Let u0(x, z) be a function of bounded variation for every fixed z. Then the immersed interface upwind difference scheme (2.4), under the CFL condition 0 < �(z) < 1,
+has the following 1-error bound:
+
+U n(z) - u(�, t n, z) 1(D)  C1(z)(c-(z)) + C2(z)(c+(z)), for every fixed z, (2.46)
+
+where
+
+(c�(z)) = 2
+
+c

+� (z )x
+
+(1
+
+-
+
+c
+
+�(z)
+
+t x
+
+)tn
+
++
+
+x
+
+,
+
+and C1(z), C2(z) are bounded functions with respect to z.
+
+(2.47)
+
+Proof. For every fixed z, this is a deterministic problem thus one can use Theorem 1 in [11]. Note that we have assumed c�(z) are strictly positive and bounded function with
+respect to z, so one can get a bounded C1(z) and C2(z).
+
+Next we will prove the following error estimate:
+
+Theorem 2.3. Under Assumption 2.15 and assume u0(x, z) is a function of bounded variation for every z. Then the following error estimate of the discrete gPC method holds:
+
+U(nK ) - u(�, t n, �) H  C (T )(
+
+x + t + x) + (b - a)CC (
+
+,n) ,
+
+K
+
+l  N,
+
+where C (T ) depends only on time T and C ( , n) depends on t and .
+
+(2.48)
+
+Proof. First we split the error into two parts:
+
+U(nK ) - u(�, t n, �) H  U n - u(xi , t n, z) H + U(nK ) -U n H .
+
+(2.49)
+
+For the first part, it is the error of numerical scheme (2.4), using Lemma 2.3 one gets
+
+U(nK ) - u(�, t n, �) H =  
+
+1/2
+
+U n(z) - u(�, t n, z)
+
+2 l1

+(D

+
+[(C1(z)(c-(z))]2(z) dz + [(C2(z)(c+(z))]2(z) dz .
+
+(2.50)
+
+13
+
+The last inequality is obtained by Minkowski inequality. Notice that C1(z) is bounded and
+
+1/2
+[(c�(z))]2(z) dz  2
+
+c

+ C (T ) x + t + x.
+
+(2.51)
+
+Therefore one gets
+
+U n - u(�, t n, �) H  C (T )( x + t + x).
+
+(2.52)
+
+For the second part, according to Theorem 2.2 we have

+
+

+(b

+
+3 A gPC method for the Liouville equation with discontinuous potential
+
+In this section we study the Liouville equation in classical mechanics with random
+
+uncertainties:
+
+ut + vux - Vx uv = 0, t > 0, x, v  R,
+
+(3.1)
+
+with initial condition
+
+u(x, v, 0, z) = u0(x, v, z),
+
+(3.2)
+
+where u(x, v, t , z) is the density distribution of a classical particle at position x, time t and traveling with velocity v. V (x, z) is the potential depending on a random variable z
+The Liouville equation has bicharacteristics defined by Newton's second law:
+
+dx
+
+dv
+
+= v, dt
+
+d t = -Vx(x, z),
+
+which is a Hamiltonian system with the random Hamiltonian
+
+H = 1 v2 + V (x, z). 2
+
+(3.3) (3.4)
+
+14
+
+If V (x, z) is discontinuous with respect to x which corresponds to a random potential barrier, then the characteristic speed of the Liouville equation given by (3.3) is infinity at
+
+the discontinuous point and a conventional numerical scheme becomes difficult. On the
+
+other hand, it is known from classical mechanics that the Hamiltonian remains constant
+
+across a potential barrier. Based on this principle, Jin and Wen proposed a framework,
+
+called Hamiltonian preserving scheme in which they build the interface condition into
+
+the scheme according to the behavior of a particle across the potential barrier [12], [10].
+As in the previous section, we first discretize equation (3.1) using the Hamiltonian
+preserving scheme in which we regard the random variable z as a fixed parameter.
+Without loss of generality, we employ a uniform mesh with grid points at xi+1/2, i = 0, . . . , N in the x-direction and v j+1/2, j = 0, . . . , M in the v-direction. The cells are centered at (xi , v j ), i = 1, . . . , N , j = 1, . . . , M with xi = (xi+1/2+xi-1/2)/2 and v j = (v j +1/2+ v j -1/2)/2. The mesh size is denoted by x = xi+1/2 - xi-1/2 and v = vi+1/2 - vi-1/2. Also we assume that the discontinuous points of potential V are located at some grid points. Let the left and right limits of V at point xi+1/2 be Vi++1/2 and Vi-+1/2 respectively. The scheme reads:
+
+t
+
+ui
+
+j
+
+(z)
+

+

+DVi
+
+(z)
+
+:=
+
+Vi-+1/2(z) - Vi+-1/2(z) . x
+
+(3.6)
+
+We also need to determine the numerical fluxes ui,j +1/2(z) and ui�+1/2,j (z) at each cell
+
+interface.
+
+3.1 A first order finite difference approximation
+
+Here we can use the standard first order upwind scheme for the fluxes ui�+1/2,j (z) since the wave speed in this direction, which is v j , has nothing to do with the random variable z. So the characteristic in fact is deterministic. For example we consider the case v j > 0, according to the Hamilton preserving scheme such fluxes read,
+
+ui-+1/2,j (z) = ui j (z),
+
+ui++1/2,j (z) =
+
+c1ui +1,k (z) + c2ui +1,k+1(z), ui +1,k (z),
+
+when transmission, when reflection,

+
+(3.12)
+
+When v j < 0, we can determine c1, c2 and k similarly using the Hamilton preserving condition (3.8).
+For the flux ui,j+1/2(z), one should be careful when dealing with it. Unlike the flux in x-direction, the wave speed in v-direction, DVi (z), depends on the random variable z such that the characteristic is random. This will make the discontinuity of solution in the physical space propagate into the random space if we use a characteristic dependent scheme (i.e. upwind scheme), which results a bad regularity of the solution with respect to z.
+Here we use the Lax-Friedrichs flux which is a characteristic independent scheme for the v-direction flux in general:
+
+1 ui ,j +1/2(z) = 2 DVi (z) ui ,j +1(z) - ui j (z) - ui j (z) + ui ,j +1(z) ,
+
+(3.13)
+
+where  is a constant satisfying   max |DVi (z)|.
+i ,z
+From the discussion above, one can easily see that the fluxes of x-direction and vdirection are both smooth functions with respect to z. As in Section 2, we can conclude that the solution of this scheme, which is ui j (z), are smooth functions of z for each i , j . Then we apply the standard gPC-SG method to this discrete system, same as in Section 2, one can expect a fast convergence of gPC expansion to the discretized solution when the mesh size x and time step t are fixed. The justification is the same as in Section 2.
+
+Remark 3.1. Here any central schemes, such as the local Lax-Friedrichs scheme, can be used besides the Lax-Friedrichs scheme.
+

+
+3.2 A formally second order spatial discretization
+
+In previous two sections, we have presented our discrete gPC scheme with a first order spatial discretization. In the following, we will give the formally second order spatial discretization. Specifically, the spatial numerical flux used in the Hamilton Preserving scheme [12] is given by (consider the case when v j > 0)

+ui +1,k (z) - 2 si +1,k (z),
+
+(3.14)
+
+where si j is the numerical slope, c1, c2, k are determined by the Hamilton preserving scheme just as the first order case in previous subsection (3.7)�(3.12).
+Since the solution contains discontinuities, a second order scheme will necessarily introduce numerical oscillations. In order to suppress these oscillations, one can use the limited slope, in the spirit of total-variation-diminishing (TVD) framework [16]. Most of the slope limiteds used in the shock capturing community are non-smooth functions, while in our approach the regularity in z is essential. To this aim, we use smooth slope limiters called BAP, introduced in [3]. For the backward and forward differences,
+
+sl (z) = (ui j (z) - ui-1,j (z))/x, sr (z) = (ui+1,j (z) - ui j (z))/x,
+
+(3.15)
+
+at (xi , v j ), the BAP slope is given by
+
+si j (z) = B-1
+
+B(sl (z)) + B(sr (z)) 2
+
+.
+
+(3.16)
+
+Some examples of smooth B(x) include
+
+B(x) = arctan(x),
+
+B(x) = tanh(x),
+
+x
+
+B(x) =
+
+,
+
+1 + x2
+
+B-1(x) = tan(x), B-1(x) = tanh-1(x), B-1(x) = x .
+1 - x2
+
+(3.17)
+
+3.3 The full discretization
+Next we need to define the numerical flux in the v-direction. To this stage, in order to get a smooth discrete solution (with respect to z), we also need to choose some scheme that
+
+17
+
+does not depend on characteristic information. Here we use the Lax-Wendroff scheme. The v-direction flux:
+
+1
+
+t
+
+ui,j +1/2(z) = 2 (ui,j +1(z) + ui,j (z)) + (DVi (z)) 2v (ui,j +1(z) - ui j (z)).
+
+(3.18)
+
+So combine (3.5), (3.14) and (3.18), we get a second order in space and velocity, whose solution is smooth with respect to z, written as
+
+t ui j (z) = RHS(z).
+
+(3.19)
+
+We now the gPC-Galerkin method to this discrete system, for the k-th component uinj,k in gPC expansion we have:
+
+t uikj (z) = RHS(z), Pk (z) ,
+
+(3.20)
+
+where Pk (z) is the k-th order orthogonal polynomial and � is the inner product on the random space. Due to the complicated nonlinear form of RHS(z), we will use numerical integration, i.e. , the Gauss-quadrature to calculate the right hand side of (3.20).
+
+M
+RHS(z), Pk (z) = RHS(zm)Pk (zm)wm,
+m=0
+
+(3.21)
+
+where M is the total number of quadrature points we choose and zi , wi are the Gauss quadrature points and corresponding weights. Here we summarize the algorithm on every time step:
+

+
+Notice
+
+that one only needs to compute Pk (zm), which is independent of time thus can be
+
+pre-computed before time marching.
+
+� Using uinj (zm) and (3.14), (3.18) to get RHS(zm) for every i , j , m.
+
+� Finally by (3.21) and time marching using the forward Euler or Runge-Kutta methods to get uinj+1,k for every i , j , k. This finishes one time step.
+Remark 3.2. For the convection equation (2.1), one can simply replace Uin(z) by Uin(z)+ si (z)x/2 in (2.4) and follow the procedure above to get a second order scheme in spatial domain.
+

+
+4 Numerical examples
+In this section we will conduct some numerical experiments to show the performance of the proposed methods and check their numerical accuracy.
+
+4.1 Example 1: the scalar convection equation with discontinuous coefficient
+
+We consider the initial problem
+
+ut + (c(x, z)u x = 0, u(x, 0) = u0(x),
+
+t > 0, x  R, x  R,
+
+(4.1)
+
+with
+
+c- > 0, c(x, z) = 0.3z + c+ > 0,
+
+if x < 0, if x > 0,
+
+(4.2)
+
+where z is uniformly distributed on [-1, 1] (thus the gPC basis should be the normalized Legendre polynomials) and we treat the random variable z as a small perturbation such that (c� + 0.3z) > 0 for any z  [-1, 1].
+In this example, we set the initial data as
+
+u0(x) = cos(0.25x), on [-1, 3],
+
+(4.3)
+
+and an interface is located at x = 0 with the condition: u(0+, t , z) = (z)u(0-, t , z),
+
+(4.4)
+
+where

+

+
+for the conservation of flux.
+
+The analytic solution of this simple model problem can be easily obtained by using
+
+the method of characteristic including the interface condition [12]:
+
+ u0
+
+x - (c+ + 0.3z)t
+
+,
+
+
+
+u(x, t , z) = (z)u0 (z)[x - (c+ + 0.3z)t ] ,

+x - (c- + 0.3z)t
+
+,
+
+x > (c+ + 0.3z)t , 0 < x < (c+ + 0.3z)t , x < 0.
+
+(4.6)
+
+In the following examples, we set c- = 1, c+ = 2, and final time T = 1. The expectation and variance of the analytic solution can be obtained using (1.3) and (1.4).
+
+19
+
+For numerical solutions, we compute their expectation by
+
+Ei (t n) := E[u(xi , t n, z)] = u(xi , t n, z)(z) dz = U^in,(0),
+
+and their variance by
+
+K
+
+Vi (t n) := E (u - E(u))2 =
+
+U^in,(k) 2.
+
+k =1

+Figure 1 shows that the analytic solution (4.6) has a discontinuity at z = 0 when x = 2. Figure 2 shows that the expectation and variance of the analytic solution. In this case, one can expect a low convergence rate of the standard gPC-SG method.

+
+solution with x = 0.001, t = 1 x and gPC order K = 20. The discrepancy on the 4
+variance is due to the poor resolution of the first order spatial discretization, which is improved with the second order spatial discretization to be used later.
+Next we conduct the convergence test only for the gPC approximation. We fix x = 0.005 and t = 1 x in all computations with different K . Figure 4 shows that the 1 error
+5 decays very fast with respect to the gPC order K . When K = 4, it decays to the numerical error of the finite difference method.
+However, in Figure 4, since the finite difference error dominates the gPC error, it is difficult to verify the convergence rate of the gPC method. In order to examine the gPC error, we fix x and t , and compare the numerical solutions with different K , with the case of K = 30 serving as the reference solution. We measure the 1 error between each K = 2, 3, . . . , 20 and K = 30. The result is shown in Figure 5, in which an exponential convergence in the gPC approximation can be observed by using the log-log plot. Note that if the convergence order is algebraic, the curve should be a line. Here the curve shape shows the exponential decay of the gPC error.

+
+4.1.2 The second order finite difference approximation
+For the second order scheme, we use the same set up as in the first order case. Figure 6 shows the expectation and variance compared with the analytic solution, which gives a more accurate solution than the first order approximation especially for the variance around x = 2.
+Figure 7 and Figure 8 show the convergence of the numerical method in the gPC order from which one can observe the fast convergence. Comparing Figure 7 with Figure 4, we can see that the second scheme has a better total 1 error. But the rate of the gPC convergence shown in Figure 8 is not as fast as the first order scheme. This is hardly surprising since our spectral convergence depends on the smoothness of the discrete solutions, and the smoothness is given by the numerical viscosity which is larger for the first order spatial discretization. The second order spatial discretization offers better accuracy away from the discontinuities and better resolutions at discontinuities, but because it is closer to the analytic solution (which is not smooth) thus less smooth than the first order one, and smoothness of the discrete solution is what our spectral convergence relies upon, thus its gPC congerence rate, compared with the first order one, should be slower. However this does not mean that the second order method is inferior to the first one, since one has to consider the overall error, including the contributions of error from the spatial discretization in this problem. By comparing Figure 6 with Figure 3, and Figure 7 with Figure 4, it is obvious that the second order scheme outperforms the first order one.

+4.2 Example 2: the Liouville equation with a discontinuous potential
+
+Recall the Liouville equation
+
+ut + vux - Vx uv = 0, t > 0, x, v  R, with the random potential given by
+
+(4.7)
+
+V (x, y) = V0(x) + 0.1xz, where z is uniformly distributed on (-1, 1) and
+
+(4.8)
+
+0.2, V0(x) = 0,
+
+x < 0, x > 0.
+
+(4.9)
+
+For the given initial data, one cannot get an analytic solution for this problem. Instead
+
+we will use the collocation method as a comparison. In collocation method, one solves
+
+the Liouville equation (1.2) at a discrete set of {zi }1iM called sample points in the corresponding random space. For every fixed zi , we only need to solve a deterministic Liouville equation with discontinuous potential using Hamilton preserving scheme [12].
+
+Then the expectation and variance can be obtained by the quadrature rules of (1.3)
+
+and (1.4). In the following examples, we choose {zi }1iM as the roots of M th order Legendre polynomials and use the Gauss-Legendre quadrature to obtain the expectation
+
+and variance.

+
+Here one has a symmetric tridiagonal matrix. As an illustration of the singularity of the solution caused by the discontinuous
+potential , we use a continuous initial data:
+
+sin[2(0.25 - (x2 + v2))], x2 + v2 < 0.25,
+
+u(x, v, 0) =
+
+0,
+
+otherwise.
+
+(4.11)
+
+The expectation of the solution by using the collocation method with M = 20 sample points and our new gPC-SG method with gPC order K = 4 are shown in Figure 9. Although the initial data is continuous, due to the interface condition, the solution may still be discontinuous. This singularity will have a big impact on the convergence of gPC method.

+4.2.1 The first order finite difference approximation
+
+In this example we set the initial data as
+
+ 1,  
+u(x, v, 0) = 1,
+ 0,
+
+x  0, v < 0, x2 + v2 < 1, x  0, v > 0, x2 + v2 < 1, otherwise.
+
+(4.12)
+
+Notice that the solution has singularity due to both the initial data and the discontinuous potential. The deterministic version of this example was used in [12] and the analytic solution can be obtained by using the method of characteristics. We first plot the analytic solution and numerical solution (using the first order flux) with a fixed z = 0 in Figure 10 corresponding to the deterministic example in [12].
+Then we compare the solution computed by the collocation method with M = 20 sample points (Figures 11 and 12 left). Figures 11 and 12 right show the solutions by our new gPC-SG method with gPC order K = 10. Here the mesh size is x = v = 0.03 and time step is t = 0.002. One can see the difference between the expectation of the stochastic solution and the deterministic case when z = 0 and this differences can be easily seen on the variance plots as well. The expectation of the stochastic solution is expected to be smoother since it integrates over the z variable, thus gains on order of regularity (see examples in [4, 9]). For the computation cost, our new gPC-SG method runs much faster than collocation method. The collocation method takes about 20 times

+cost of the deterministic version due to 20 sample points we choose, however, our new gPC-SG, with K = 10, takes about 10 times the cost of the deterministic problem.
+In Figure 13 we plot the 1 error of the discrete gPC-SG method as the gPC order K increases. This figure shows the spectral convergence.
+4.2.2 The second finite difference approximation
+Here for the second finite difference approximation we still use the same set up as in previous subsection for the first order case.
+First as in the first order case, we will show the numerical solution of the deterministic case when z = 0 using the second order flux in Figure 14. The second order method clearly gives a much sharper resolution for the discontinuities than the first order method (compare the right figures of Figure 10 and Figure 15). But due to the Lax-Wendroff scheme we use in the v-direction (3.18), there exists some oscillations due to numerical dispersion.
+Then we will show the expectation and variance of the solution calculated by the collocation method with M = 20 sample points and our new gPC-SG method (for the calculation of RHS(z) we also use 20 Gauss-Legendre quadrature points). See Figure 15 and Figure 16. One can find no difference between these two methods, both giving sharper resolutions at discontinuities than their first order counterparts shown in Figures 11 and 12. Here for the computation cost, we point out that unlike in the first order case, our new gPC-SG method runs only slightly faster than the collocation method since in the calculation of RHS(z) we use a similarly technique as the collocation method.

+
+Finally, we test the convergence rate of our new gPC-SG method. To do this, we first fix our mesh size: x = v = 0.03, t = 0.02, and output the result at t = 1. We use 20 Gauss-Legendre quadrature points to compute the inner product in (3.20). We choose the gPC order K = 10 as our reference solution, and see how the error changes when increasing K from 3 to 10. From Figure 17, an exponential convergence can be observed.

+Whitham modulation equations and application to small dispersion asymptotics and long time asymptotics of nonlinear dispersive equations

+
+Abstract
+In this chapter we review the theory of modulation equations or Whitham equations for the travelling wave solution of KdV. We then apply the Whitham modulation equations to describe the long-time asymptotics and small dispersion asymptotics of the KdV solution.
+
+1 Introduction
+
+The theory of modulation refers to the idea of slowly changing the constant pa-
+
+rameters in a solution to a given PDE. Let us consider for example the linear PDE
+
+in one spatial dimension
+
+ut + 2uxxx = 0,
+
+(1)
+
+where  is a small positive parameter. Such equation admits the exact travelling
+
+wave solution
+
+xt u(x,t) = a cos k + 
+
+,
+
+ = k3
+
+
+
+xt where a and k are constants. Here and are considered as fast variables since
+ 0 <  1. The general solution of equation (1) restricted for simplicity to even
+
+initial data f (x) is given by
+
+
+
+xt
+
+u(x,t; ) = F(k; ) cos k +  dk
+
+0
+
+
+
+where the function F(k; ) depends on the initial conditions by the inverse Fourier
+
+1 transform F(k; ) =
+
+
+ -
+
+f
+
+(x)e-ik
+
+x 
+
+dx.
+

+
+For fixed , the large time asymptotics of u(x,t; ) can be obtained using the method of stationary phase

+
+(2)
+
+where now k = k(x,t) solves
+
+x +  (k)t = 0.
+
+(3)
+
+We will now obtain a formula compatible with (2) using the modulation theory. Let us assume that the amplitude a and the wave number k are slowly varying functions of space and time:
+
+a = a(x,t), k = k(x,t).
+
+Plugging the expression
+
+x
+
+t
+
+u(x,t; ) = a(x,t) cos k(x,t) + (x,t) ,
+
+
+
+
+
+into the equation (1) one obtains from the terms of order one the equations
+
+1
+
+kt =  (k)kx, at =  (k)ax + 2 a (k)kx,
+
+(4)
+
+dx which describe the modulation of the wave parameters a and k. The curve =
+dt - (k) is a characteristic for both the above equations. On such curve
+
+dk
+
+da 1
+
+= 0, dt
+
+dt = 2 a (k)kx.
+
+We look for a self-similar solution of the above equation in the form k = k(z) with z = x/t. The first equation in (4) gives
+
+(z +  (k))kz = 0
+
+which has the solutions kz = 0 or z +  (k) = 0. This second solution is equivalent to (3). Plugging this solution into the equation for the amplitude a one gets
+
+da a =- ,
+
+or a(x,t) = a0(k) ,
+
+dt 2t
+
+t
+
+for an arbitrary function a0(k). Such expression gives an amplitude a(x,t) compatible with the stationary phase asymptotic (2).
+
+2 Modulation of nonlinear equation
+
+Now let us consider a similar problem for a nonlinear equation, by adding a nonlinear term 6uux to the equation (1)
+
+ut + 6uux + 2uxxx = 0.
+
+(5)
+
+Such equation is called Korteweg de Vries (KdV) equation, and it describes the behaviour of long waves in shallow water. The coefficient 6 is front of the nonlinear
+
+2
+
+term, is just put for convenience. The KdV equation admits the travelling wave
+
+solution
+
+1 u(x,t; ) = ( ),  = (kx - t + 0),
+
+
+where we assumed that  is a 2-periodic function of its argument and 0 is an
+
+arbitrary constant. Plugging the above ansatz into the KdV equation one obtains
+
+after a double integration

++V2
+
++ B
+
++
+
+A,
+
+V= , 2k
+
+(6)
+
+where A and B are integration constants and V is the wave velocity. In order to get a periodic solution, we assume that the polynomial -3 + V 2 + B + A =
+-( - e1)( - e2)( - e3) with e1 > e2 > e3. Then the periodic motion takes place for e2    e1 and one has the relation
+
+k
+
+d
+
+= d,
+
+(7)
+
+2(e1 - )( - e2)( - e3)
+
+so that integrating over a period, one obtains
+
+e1
+2k
+
+d
+
+= d = 2.
+
+e2 2(e1 - )( - e2)( - e3)
+
+It follows that the wavenumber k = 2 is expressed by a complete integral of the L
+first kind:
+
+k =  (e1 - e3) , 2K(m)
+
+m = e1 - e2 , e1 - e3
+
+ 2
+K(m) :=
+0
+
+d
+
+,
+
+1 - m2 sin2 
+
+(8)
+
+and the frequency
+
+ = 2k(e1 + e2 + e3) ,
+
+(9)
+
+is obtained by comparison with the polynomial in the r.h.s. of (6). Performing an
+
+integral between e1 and  in equation (7) one arrives to the equation
+
+
+
+
+
+ 0
+

+

+
+1 - s2 sin2 
+
+e1 - e3 + K(m), 2k
+
+cos 
+
+=
+
+  - e1 e2 - e1
+
+.
+
+ Introducing the Jacobi elliptic function cn - e1 - e3 + K(m); m = cos  and
+2k using the above equations we obtain
+
+u(x,t; ) = ( ) = e2 + (e1 - e2)cn2
+
+ e1 - e3 2
+
+x -  t + 0 kk
+
+- K(m); m , (10)
+
+where we use also the evenness of the function cn(z; m). The function cn2(z; m) is periodic with period 2K(m) and has its maximum at
+
+z = 0 where cn(0; m) = 1 and its minimum at z = K(m) where cn(K(m); m) = 0.
+
+Therefore from (10), the maximum value of the function u(x,t; ) is umax = e1 and the minimum value is umin = e2.
+

+
+2.1 Whitham modulation equations
+
+Now, as we did it in the linear case, let us suppose that the integration constants A, B and V depend weekly on time and space
+
+A = A(x,t), B = B(x,t), V = V (x,t).
+
+It follows that the wave number and the frequency depends weakly on time and too. We are going to derive the equations of A = A(x,t), B = B(x,t) and V = V (x,t) in such a way that (10) is an approximate solution of the KdV equation (5) up to subleading corrections. We are going to apply the nonlinear analogue of the WKB theory introduced in [19]. For the purpose let us assume that
+
+u = u( (x,t), x,t),  = 
+
+(11)
+
+
+
+Pluggin the ansatz (11) into the KdV equation one has
+
+u
+
+t 
+
++ ut
+
++ 6u(u
+
+x 
+
++ ux) +
+
+x3 
+
+u
+
+
+
+
+
++ 3x2ux + 3xuxx + 3xxu x
+
+(12)
+
++ 3xxxu + xxxu + 2uxxx = 0.
+
+Next assuming that u has an expansion in power of , namely u = u0 + u1 + 2u2 + . . . one obtain from (12) at order 1/
+
+t u0, + 6xu0u0, + x3u0, = 0. The above equation gives the cnoidal wave solution (10) if u0( ) = ( ) and
+
+t = -, x = k,
+
+(13)
+
+where k and  are the frequency and wave number of the cnoidal wave as defined in (8) and (9) respectively. Compatibility of equation (13) gives
+
+kt + x = 0,
+
+(14)
+
+which is the first equation we are looking for. To obtain the other equations let us introduce the linear operator
+
+L
+
+:=
+
+ 
+
+
+- 6k  
+
+u0
+
+-
+

+
+=
+
+
+
+ 
+
+- 6ku0
+
+ 
+
+- k3
+
+3 3
+
+.
+
+Then
+
+at
+
+order
+
+0
+
+equation
+
+(12) gives
+
+L u1 =R(u0), R(u0) := u0,t + 6u0u0,x + 3x2u0,x + 3xxxu0, .
+
+In a similar way it is possible to get the equations for the higher order correction
+terms. A condition of solvability of the above equation can be obtained by ob-
+serving that the integral over a period of the l.h.s of the above equation against the
+constant function and the function u0 is equal to zero because 1 and u0 are in the kernel of L . Therefore it follows that
+
+0=
+
+2
+R(u0)d = t
+
+2
+u0d + 3x
+
+2 u20d

+

+
+By denoting with the bracket . the average over a period, we rewrite the above two equations, after elementary algebra and an integration by parts, in the form
+
+t u0 + 3x u20 = 0
+
+(15)
+
+t u20 + 4x u30 - 3x x2u20, = 0.
+
+(16)
+
+Using the identities
+
+u0u0, + u20, = 0, u0, = 0,
+
+and (6), we obtained the identities for the elliptic integrals

+
+
+
+Introducing the integral W :=

+
+e2 e1
+
+-3 +V 2 + B + Ad and using the
+
+above two identities and the relations kWA = 1, u0 = 2kWB and u20 = 2kWV
+
+where WA, WB and WV are the partial derivatives of W with respect to A, B and V
+
+respectively, we can reduce (14), (15) and (16) to the form

+
+The equation (17), (18) and (19) are the Whitham modulation equations for the parameters A, B and V . The same equations can also be derived according to Whitham's original ideas of averaging method applied to conservation laws, to Lagrangian or to Hamiltonians [60]. Using e1, e2 and e3 as independent variables, instead of their symmetric function A, B and V , Whitham reduced the above three equations to the form

+
+The formula (33) is a particular case of the Its-Matveev formula [35] that describes
+
+the quasi-periodic solutions of the KdV equation through higher order  -functions.
+
+Remark 2.1 We remark that for fixed 1, 2 and 3, formulas (30) or (33) give an exact solution of the KdV equation (5), while when  j =  j(x,t) evolves according to the Whitham equations, such formulas give an approximate solution of the KdV equation (5). We also remark that in the derivation of the Whitham equations, we did not get any information for an eventual modulation of the arbitrary phase 0. The modulation of the phase requires a higher order analysis, that won't be explained here. However we will give below a formula for the phase.
+
+Remark 2.2 The Riemann invariants 1, 2 and 3 have an important spectral meaning. Let us consider the spectrum of the Schro�dinger equation

+
+
+2

+
+
+
++
+
+u
+
+=
+
+-
+

+

+
+where u(x,t; ) is a solution of the KdV equation. The main discovery of Gardener, Green Kruskal and Miura [26] is that the spectrum of the Schro�dinger operator is constant in time if u(x,t; ) evolve according to the KdV equation. This important observation is the starting point of inverse scattering and the modern theory of integrable systems in infinite dimensions.
+If u(x,t; ) is the travelling wave solution (33), where 1 > 2 > 3 are constants, then the Schro�dinger equation coincides with the Lame� equation and its spectrum coincides with the Riemann invariants 1 > 2 > 3. The stability zones of the spectrum are the bands (-, 3]  [2, 1]. The corresponding solution (x,t;  ) of the Schro�dinger equation is quasi-periodic in x and t with monodromy
+(x + L,t;  ) = eip( )L(x,t;  )
+
+and (x,t + T ;  ) = eiq( )T (x,t;  ),
+where L and T are the wave-length and the period of the oscillations. The functions p( ) and q( ) are called quasi-momentum and quasi-energy and for the cnoidal wave solution they take the simple form
+
+
+
+
+
+p( ) = d p( ), q( ) = dq( ),

+

+
+3 Application of Whitham modulation equations
+
+As in the linear case, the modulation equations have important applications in the description of the solution of the Cauchy problem of the KdV equation in asymptotic limits. Let us consider the initial value problem
+
+ut + 6uux + 2uxxx = 0 u(x, 0; ) = f (x),
+
+(36)
+
+where f (x) is an initial data independent from . When we study the solution of such initial value problem u(x,t; ) one can consider two limits:
+� the long time behaviour, namely
+
+u(x,t; ) t ?,  fixed;
+
+� the small dispersion limit, namely u(x,t; ) 0 ?, x and t in compact sets.
+
+These two limits have been widely studied in the literature. The physicists Gurevich and Pitaevski [31] were among the first to address these limits and gave an heuristic solution imitating the linear case. Let us first consider one of the case studied by Gurevich and Pitaevski, namely a decreasing step initial data
+
+f (x) =
+
+c 0
+
+for x < 0, c > 0, for x > 0.
+
+(37)
+
+Using the Galileian invariance of KdV equation, namely x  x + 6Ct, t  t and u  u +C, every initial data with a single step can be reduced to the above form. The above step initial data is invariant under the rescaling x/  x and t/ , therefore, in this particular case it is completely equivalent to study the small  asymptotic, or the long time asymptotics of the solution.
+Such initial data is called compressive step, and the solution of the Hopf equation vt + 6vvx = 0 ( = 0 in (36) ) develop a shock for t > 0. The shock front s(t) moves with velocity 3ct while the multi-valued piece-wise continuos solution of the Hopf equation vt + 6vvx = 0 for the same initial data is given by
+
+c
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ 
+
+x
+
+v(x,t) =
+
+ 6t
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+0
+
+for x < 6tc, for 0  x  6tc, for x  0.
+
+For t > 0 the solution u(x,t; ) of the KdV equation develops a train of oscillations near the discontinuity. These oscillations are approximately described by the travelling wave solution (33) of the KdV equation where i = i(x,t), i = 1, 2, 3, evolve according to the Whitham equations. However one needs to fix the solution of the Whitham equations. Given the self-similar structure of the solution of the Hopf equation, it is natural to look for a self-similar solution of the Whitham
+
+9
+
+x equation in the form i = i(z) with z = t . Applying this change of variables to the Whitham equations one obtains
+
+(i
+
+-
+
+z)
+
+ i z
+
+= 0,
+
+i = 1, 2, 3,
+
+(38)
+
+whose solution is i = z or zi = 0. A natural request that follows from the
+
+relations (28) and (29) is that at the right boundary of the oscillatory zone z+, when
+
+1(z+) = 2(z+), the function 3 has to match the Hopf solution that is constant
+
+and equal to zero, namely 3(z+) = 0. Similarly, at the left boundary z- when
+
+2(z-) = 3(z-), the function 1(z-) = c so that it matches the Hopf solution.
+
+From these observations it follows that the solution of (38) for z-  z  z+ is
+
+given by
+
+1(z) = c, 3(z) = 0, z = 2(c, 2, 0).
+
+(39)
+
+In order to determine the values z� it is sufficient to let 2  c and 2  0 respectively in the last equation in (39). Using the relations (28) and (29) one has 2(c, c, 0) = 4c and 2(c, 0, 0) = -6c so that
+
+z- = -6c, or x-(t) = -6ct and z+ = 4c, or x+(t) = 4ct.
+
+According to Gurevich and Pitaevski for -6ct < x < 4t and t 1, the asymptotic solution of the Korteweg de Vries equation with step initial data (37) is given by the modulated travelling wave solution (30), namely
+
+
+
+u(x,t; ) c - 2 + 22 cn2
+
+c
+
+K(m)
+
+(x - 2t(c + 2)) +
+
+0 + K(m); m , (40)
+
+
+
+
+
+with m = 2(x,t) , c
+where 2(x,t) is given by (39). The phase 0 in (40) has not been described by Gurevich and Pitaevski. Finally in the remaining regions of the (x,t > 0) one has
+
+u(x,t, )
+
+c for x < -6ct, 0 for x > 4ct.
+
+This heuristic description has been later proved in a rigorous mathematical way
+(see the next section). We remark that at the right boundary x+(t) of the oscillatory zone, when 2  c, 1  c and 3  0, the cnoidal wave (40) tends to a soliton, cn(z; m)  sechz as m  1.
+Using the relation x+(t) = 4ct, the limit of the elliptic solution (40) when 2  1  c gives

+
+where the logarithmic term is due to the expansion of the complete elliptic integral
+K(m) as in (27) and c - 2 = O(). The determination of the limiting value of the phase ~0 requires a deeper analysis [11]. The important feature of the above formula is that if the argument of the sech term is approximately zero near the
+point x+(t), then the height of the rightmost oscillation is twice the initial step c.

+Figure 1: In black the initial data (a smooth step) and in blue KdV solution at time t = 12 and  = 1. One can clearly see the height of the rightmost oscillation (approximately a soliton) is about two times the height of the initial step
+
+This occurs for a single step initial data (see figure 1) while for step-like initial data as in figure 2 this is clearly less evident.
+The Gurevich Pitaevsky problem has been studied also for perturbations of the KdV equation with forcing, dissipative or conservative non integrable terms [24],[37],[38] and applied to the evolution of solitary waves and undular bores in shallow-water flows over a gradual slope with bottom friction [25].
+3.1 Long time asymptotics
+The study of the long time asymptotic of the KdV solution was initiated around 1973 with the work of Gurevich and Pitaevski [31] for step-initial data and Ablowitz and Newell [1] for rapidly decreasing initial data. By that time it was clear that for rapidly decreasing initial data the solution of the KdV equation splits into a number of solitons moving to the right and a decaying radiation moving to the left. The first numerical evidence of such behaviour was found by Zabusky and Kruskal [42]. The first mathematical results were given by Ablowitz and Newell [1] and Tanaka [51] for rapidly decreasing initial data. Precise asymptotics on the radiation part were first obtained by Zakharov and Manakov, [61], Ablowitz and Segur [2] and Buslaev and Sukhanov [7], Venakides [57]. Rigorous mathematical results were also obtained by Deift and Zhou [17], inspired by earlier work by Its [36]; see also the review [14] and the book [49] for the history of the problem. In [2], [32] the region with modulated oscillations of order O(1) emerging in the long time asymptotics was called collisionless shock region. In the physics and applied mathematics literature such oscillations are also called dispersive shock waves, dissipationless shock wave or undular bore. The phase of the oscillations was obtained in [16]. Soon after the Gurevich and Pitaevski's paper, Khruslov [40] studied the long time asymptotic of KdV via inverse scattering for step-like initial data. In more recent works, using the techniques introduced in [17], the long time asymptotic of KdV solution has been obtained for step like initial data improving some error estimates obtained earlier and with the determination of the phase 0 of the oscillations [23], see also [3]. Long time asymptotic of KdV with different boundary conditions at infinity has been considered in [5]. The long time asymptotic of the expansive step has been considered in [46].
+
+11
+
+Here we report from [23] about the long time asymptotics of KdV with step like initial data f (x), namely initial data converging rapidly to the limits
+
+f (x)  0
+
+for x  +
+
+f (x)  c > 0 for x  -,
+
+(42)
+
+but in the finite region of the x plane any kind of regular behaviour is allowed. The initial data has to satisfy the extra technical assumption of being sufficiently smooth. Then the asymptotic behaviour of u(x,t; ) for fixed  and t   has been obtained applying the Deift-Zhou method in [17]:
+
+� in the region x/t > 4c +  , for some  > 0, the solution is asymptotically given by the sum of solitons if the initial data contains solitons otherwise the solution is approximated by zero at leading order;
+
+� in the region -6c + 1 < x/t < 4c - 2, for some 1, 2 > 0, (collision-less shock region) the solution u(x,t; ) is given by the modulated travelling wave
+(40), or using  -function by (33), namely
+
+E(m) 2k2 u(x,t; ) = 2(x,t)-c+2c K(m) + (2)2
+
+log 
+
+kx - t + 0 ;  2 
+
+where
+
+
+
+c k =  K(m) ,
+
+ = 2k(c + 2),
+
+m = 2(x,t) c
+
++ o(1) (43)
+
+with 2 = 2(x,t) determined by (39). In the above formula the prime in the
+log  means derivative with respect to the argument, namely (log  (z0; )) = d2 dz2 log  (z + z0; ))|z=0. The phase 0 is
+
+k 0 = 
+

+

+
+|T�

+ (i z)T1(i z)|dz

+
+respectively.
+
+The remarkable feature of formula (43) is that the description of the collision-
+
+less shock region for step-like initial data coincides with the formula ob-
+
+tained by Gurevich and Pitaevsky for the single step initial data (37) up to a
+
+phase factor. Indeed the initial data is entering explicitly through the trans-
+
+mission coefficients only in the phase 0 of the oscillations.
+
+� In the region x/t < -6t -3, for some constant 3 > 0, the solution is asymptotically close to the background c up to a decaying linear oscillatory term.
+
+We remark that the higher order correction terms of the KdV solution in the large t limit can be found in [2], [7], [23], [61]. For example in the region x < -6tc the solution is asymptotically close to the background c up to a decaying linear oscillatory term. We also remark that the boundaries of the above three regions of the (x,t) plane have escaped our analysis. In such regions the asymptotic description of the KdV solution is given by elementary functions or Painleve� trascendents see [50] or the more recent work [6].
+The technique introduced by Deift-Zhou [17] to study asymptotics for integrable equations has proved to be very powerful and effective to study asymptotic
+
+12
+
+behaviour of many other integrable equations like for example the semiclassical limit of the focusing nonlinear Schro�dinger equation [39], the long time asymptotics of the Camassa-Holm equation [6] or the long time asymptotic of the perturbed defocusing nonlinear Schro�dinger equation [18].

+
+3.2 Small  asymptotic
+The idea of the formation of an oscillatory structure in the limit of small dispersion of a dispersive equation belongs to Sagdeev [48]. Gurevish and Pitaevskii in 1973 called the oscillations, arising in the small dispersion limit of KdV, dispersive shock waves in analogy with the shock waves appearing in the zero dissipation limit of the Burgers equation. A very recent experiment in a water tank has been set up where the dispersive shock waves have been reproduced [55].
+The main steps for the description of the dispersive shock waves are the following:
+� as long as the solution of the Cauchy problem for Hopf equation vt + 6vvx = 0 with the initial data v(x, 0) = f (x) exists, then the solution of the KdV equation u(x,t; ) = v(x,t) + O(2). Generically the solution of the Hopf equation obtained by the method of characteristics
+
+v(x,t) = f ( ), x = f ( )t +  ,
+
+(45)
+
+develops a singularity when the function  =  (x,t) given implicitly by the map x = f ( )t +  is not uniquely defined. This happens at the first time when f ( )t + 1 = 0 and f ( ) = 0 (see Figure 3). These two equations

+
+and (45) fix uniquely the point (xc,tc) and uc = v(xc,tc). At this point, the gradient blow up: vx(x,t)|xc,tc  .
+� The solution of the KdV equations remains smooth for all positive times. Around the time when the solution of the Hopf equation develops its first singularity at time tc, the KdV solution, in order to compensate the formation of the strong gradient, starts to oscillate, see Figure 3. For t > tc the solution of the KdV equation u(x,t; ) is described as   0 as follows:
+� there is a cusp shape region of the (x,t) plane defined by x-(t) < x < x+(t) with x-(tc) = x+(tc) = xc. Strictly inside the cusp, the solution u(x,t; ) has an oscillatory behaviour which is asymptotically described by the travelling wave solution (33) where the parameters  j =  j(x,t), j = 1, 2, 3, evolve according to the Whitham modulation equations.
+� Strictly outside the cusp-shape region the KdV solution is still approximated by the solution of the Hopf equation, namely u(x,t; ) = v(x,t) + O(2).
+Later the mathematicians Lax-Levermore [44] and Venakides [58], [59] gave a rigorous mathematical derivation of the small dispersion limit of the KdV equation by solving the corresponding Cauchy problem via inverse scattering and doing the small  asymptotic. Then Deift, Venakides and Zhou [15] obtained an explicit derivation of the phase 0. The error term O(2) of the expansion outside the oscillatory zone was calculated in [12]. For analytic initial data, the small  asymptotic of the solution u(x,t; ) of the KdV equation is given for some times t > tc and within a cusp x-(t) < x < x+(t) in the (x,t) plane by the formula (33) where  j =  j(x,t) solve the Whitham modulations equations (22). The phase 0 in the argument of the theta-function will be described below. In the next section we will explain how to construct the solution of the Whitham equations.
+3.2.1 Solution of the Whitham equations
+The solution 1(x,t) > 2(x,t) > 3(x,t) of the Whitham equations can be considered as branches of a multivalued function and it is fixed by the following conditions.
+
+14
+
+� Let (xc,tc) be the critical point where the solution of the Hopf equation develops its first singularity and let uc = v(xc,tc). Then at t = tc
+
+1(xc,tc) = 2(xc,tc) = 3(xc,tc) = uc;
+
+� for t > tc the solution of the Whitham equations is fixed by the boundary value problem ( see Fig.4)
+� when 2(x,t) = 3(x,t), then 1(x,t) = v(x,t); � when 1(x,t) = 2(x,t), then 3(x,t) = v(x,t), where v(x,t) solve the Hopf equation.
+From the integrability of the KdV equation, one has the integrability of the Whitham equations [22]. This is a non trivial fact. However we give it for granted and assume that the Whitham equations have an infinite family of commuting flows:
+
+ s
+
+i
+
++
+
+wi
+
+ x
+
+i
+
+=
+
+0,
+
+i = 1, 2, 3.
+
+The compatibility condition of the above flows with the Whitham equations (22),
+
+implies that
+
+ t
+
+ s
+
+i
+
+=
+
+ s
+
+ t
+
+i
+
+.
+
+From these compatibility conditions it follows
+
+that
+
+wi
+
+1 -wj
+

+
+wi
+
+=
+
+i
+
+1 -j
+
+ j
+
+i,
+
+i= j
+
+(46)
+
+where the speeds i's are defined in (22). Tsarev [56] showed that if the wi = wi(1, 2, 3) satisfy the above linear
+overdetermined system, then the formula
+
+x = it + wi, i = 1, 2, 3,
+
+(47)
+
+that is a generalisation of the method of characteristics, gives a local solution of the Whitham equations (22). Indeed by subtracting two equations in (47) with different indices we obtain
+
+(i -  j)t + wi - w j = 0,
+
+or
+
+t = - wi - w j . i -  j
+
+(48)
+
+Taking the derivative with respect to x of the hodograph equation (47) gives
+
+3  i t +  wi   j = 1.
+j=1   j   j  x
+
+Substituting in the above formula the time as in (48) and using (46), one get that only the term with j = i surveys, namely
+
+ i t +  wi  i = 1.  i  i  x In the same way, making the derivative with respect to time of (47) one obtains
+
+ i t +  wi  i  i
+
+ i t
+
++
+
+i
+
+=
+
+0.
+
+The above two equations are equivalent to the Whitham system (22). The transformation (47) is called also hodograph transform. To complete the integration
+
+15
+
+one needs to specify the quantities wi that satisfy the linear overdetermined system (46). As a formal ansatz we look for a conservation law of the form
+
+sk + x(kq) = 0,
+
+with k the wave number and the function q = q(1, 2, 3) to be determined (recall that q = 2(1 + 2 + 3) for the Whitham equations (22)). Assuming that the i evolves independently, such ansatz gives wi of the form
+
+ 1
+wi = 2
+
+3
+vi - 2 k
+k=1
+
+ q + q,  i
+
+i = 1, 2, 3.
+
+(49)
+
+Plugging the expression (49) into (46), one obtains equations for the function q = q(1, 2, 3)
+
+ q -  q = 2(i -  j)  2q , i = j, i, j = 1, 2, 3.
+
+(50)
+
+ i   j
+
+ i  j
+
+Such system of equations is a linear over-determined system of Euler-Poisson Darboux type and it was obtained in [33] and [53]. The boundary conditions on the i specified at the beginning of the section fix uniquely the solution. The integration of (50) was performed for particular initial data in several different works (see e.g. [37], or [47], [33]) and for general smooth initial data in [53],[54]. The boundary conditions require that when 1 = 2 = 3 =  , then q( ,  ,  ) = hL( ) where hL is the inverse of the decreasing part of the initial data f (x). The resulting function q(1, 2, 3) is [53]

+
+For initial data with a single negative hump, such formula is valid as long as 3 > fmin which is the minimum value of the initial data. When 3 goes beyond the hump one needs to take into account also the increasing part hR of the inverse the initial data f , namely [54]

+
+Equations (47) define  j, j = 1, 2, 3, in an implicit way as a function of x and t. The actual solvability of (47) for  j =  j(x,t) was obtained in a series of papers by Fei-Ran Tian [52] [54] (see Fig. 4). The Whitham equations are a systems of hyperbolic equations, and generically their solution can suffer blow up of the gradients in finite time. When this happen the small  asymptotic of the solution of the KdV equation is described by higher order  -functions and the so called multi-phase Whitham equations [27]. So generically speaking the solvability of system (47) is not an obvious fact. The main results of [52],[53] concerning this issue are the following:
+
+� if the decreasing part of the initial data, hL is such that hL (uc) < 0 (generic condition) then the solution of the Whitham equation exists for short times
+t > tc.

+equations 1(x,t)  2(x,t)  3(x,t) at t = 0.4 as branches of a multivalued function for the initial data f (x) = -sech2(x). At this time, 3 goes beyond the negative hump of the initial data and formula (52) has been used. The solution of the Hopf equation
+including the multivalued region is plotted with a dashed grey line, while the solution of the KdV equation for  = 10-2 is plotted with a blue line. We observe that the
+multivalued region for the Hopf solution is sensible smaller then the region where the
+oscillations develops, while the Whitham zone is slightly smaller.
+
+� If furthermore, the initial data f (x) is step-like and non increasing, then under some mild extra assumptions, the solution of the Whitham equations exists for short times t > tc and for all times t > T where T is a sufficiently large time.
+
+These results show that the Gurevich Pitaevski description of the dispersive shock
+
+waves is generically valid for short times t > tc and, for non increasing initial data,
+
+for all times t > T where T is sufficiently large. At the intermediate times, the
+
+asymptotic description of the KdV solution is generically given by the modulated
+
+multiphase solution of KdV (quasi-periodic in x and t ) where the wave parameters
+
+evolve according to the multi-phase Whitham equations [27]. The study of these
+
+intermediate times has been considered in [30], [4],[3].
+
+To complete the description of the dispersive shock wave we need to specify
+
+the phase of the oscillations in (54). Such phase was derived in [15] and takes the
+
+form
+
+0 = -kq,

The blu dash-dot line is the KdV solution, the black line is the elliptic asymptotic formula (54) which is on top of the KdV solution, the black dash line is the solution of the Hopf equation while the green, red and aviation blue lines are the solution of the Whitham equations 1  2  3.
+
+where  j =  j(x,t) is the solution of the Whitham equation constructed in this section. The wave number k, the frequency  and the quantities  and  are defined in (31), (34) and (24) respectively and q is defined in (51) and (52). When performing the x-derivative in (54) observe that
+
+x(kx - t - kq) = k,
+
+because of (47) and (49). � For x > x+(t) +  and x < x-(t) -  for some positive  > 0, the KdV
+solution is approximated by
+u(x,t, ) = v(x,t) + O(2)
+
+where v(x,t) is the solution of the Hopf equation.
+
+Let us stress the meaning of the formula (54): such formula shows that the
+
+leading order behaviour of the KdV solution u(x,t; ) in the limit   0 and for
+
+generic initial data is given in a cusp-shape region of the (x,t) plane by the periodic
+
+travelling wave of KdV. However to complete the description one still needs to
+
+solve an initial value problem, for three hyperbolic equations, namely the Whitham
+
+equations, but the gain is that these equations are independent from .
+
+A first approximation of the boundary x�(t) of the oscillatory zone for t - tc
+
+small, has been obtained in [28] by taking the limit of (47) when 1 = 2 and 2 = 3. This gives

+
+where hL is the decreasing part of the initial data. Such formulas coincide with the one obtained in [31] for cubic initial data.
+We conclude pointing out that in [28] a numerical comparison of the asymptotic formula (54) with the actual KdV solution u(x,t; ) has been considered for the intial data f (x) = -sech2x. Such numerical comparison has shown the existence of transition zones between the oscillatory and non oscillatory regions that are described by Painleve� trascendant and elementary functions [9],[10],[11]. Looking for example to Fig. 5 it is clear that the KdV oscillatory region is slightly larger then the region described by the elliptic asymptotic (54) where the oscillations are confined to x-(t)  x  x+(t).
+Of particular interest is the solution of the KdV equation near the region where the oscillations are almost linear, namely near the point x-(t). It is known [52, 30] that taking the limit of the hodograph transform (47) when 2 = 3 =  and 1 = v, one obtains the system of equations
+
+ 
+
+x-(t) = 6tv(t) + hL(v(t)),
+
+6t +  ( (t); v(t)) = 0,
+
+(55)
+
+   ( (t); v(t)) = 0,
+
+that determines uniquely x-(t) and and v(t) >  (t). In the above equation the
+
+function
+
+1  ( ; v) =
+
+v hL(y)dy ,
+
+(56)
+
+2 v-  y-
+
+and hL is the decreasing part of the initial data. The behaviour of the KdV solution is described near the edge x-(t) by linear oscillations, where the envelope of the oscillations is given by the Hasting Mcleod solution to the Painleve� II equation:
+
+q (s) = sq + 2q3(s).
+
+(57)
+
+The special solution in which we are interested, is the Hastings-McLeod solution [34] which is uniquely determined by the boundary conditions
+
+q(s) = -s/2(1 + o(1)), q(s) = Ai(s)(1 + o(1)),

+(59)
+
+where Ai(s) is the Airy function. Although any Painleve� II solution has an infinite number of poles in the complex plane, the Hastings-McLeod solution q(s) is smooth for all real values of s [34] .

+Note that the leading order term in the expansion (60) of u(x,t, ) is given by v(t) that solves the Hopf equation while the oscillatory term is of order 1/3 with oscillations of wavelength proportional to  and amplitude proportional to the Hastings-McLeod solution q of the Painleve� II equation. From the practical point of view it is easier to use formula (60), then (54) since one needs to solve only an ODE (the Painleve� II equation) and three algebraic equations, namely (55). One can see from figure (6) that the asymptotic formula (60) gives a good approx-
+2
+imation (up to an error O( 3 )) of the KdV solution near the leading edge where the oscillations are linear, while inside the Whitham zone, it gives a qualitative description of the oscillations [29].
+Another interesting asymptotic regime is obtained when one wants to describe the first few oscillations of the KdV solution in the small dispersion limit. In this case the so called Painleve� I2 asymptotics should be used. Furthermore we point out that it is simpler to solve one ODE, rather then the Whitham equations. For example, near the critical point xc and near the critical time the following asymptotic behaviour has been conjectured in [20] and proved in [9]

+We conclude by stressing that the asymptotic descriptions reviewed in this chapter for the KdV equation can be developed for other integrable equations like the nonlinear Schro�dinger equation, [39] the Camass-Holm equation [6] or the modified KdV equation [41].

+Graph or Relational Databases: A Speed Comparison for Process Mining Algorithm
+Jeevan Joishi Ashish Sureka Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology, Delhi (IIITD)
+New Delhi, India ABB Corporate Research
+Bangalore, India
+Abstract Process-Aware Information System (PAIS) are IT systems that manages, supports business processes and generate large event logs from execution of business processes. An event log is represented as a tuple of the form CaseID, TimeStamp, Activity and Actor. Process Mining is an emerging area of research that deals with the study and analysis of business processes based on event logs. Process Mining aims at analyzing event logs and discover business process models, enhance them or check for conformance with an a priori model. The large volume of event logs generated are stored in databases. Relational databases perform well for certain class of applications. However, there are certain class of applications for which relational databases are not able to scale. A number of NoSQL databases have emerged to encounter the challenges of scalability. Discovering social network from event logs is one of the most challenging and important Process Mining task. Similar-Task and Sub-Contract algorithms are some of the most widely used Organizational Mining techniques. Our objective is to investigate which of the databases (Relational or Graph) perform better for Organizational Mining under Process Mining. An intersection of Process Mining and Graph Databases can be accomplished by modelling these Organizational Mining metrics with graph databases. We implement Similar-Task and Sub-Contract algorithms on relational and NoSQL (graph-oriented) databases using only query language constructs. We conduct empirical analysis on a large real world data set to compare the performance of row-oriented database and NoSQL graph-oriented database. We benchmark performance factors like query execution time, CPU usage and disk/memory space usage for NoSQL graph-oriented database against row-oriented database.

+1 Research Motivation and Aim
+PAIS like ERP, CRM, etc. are IT systems that manages and supports business processes. The data generated by execution of activities within PAIS is in the form of event logs (tuple of the form ). An event log contains information on the business process being considered (CaseID), the set of events (Activities) within that CaseID, performer of the Activity (Actor) besides other information like TimeStamp and unique identifier. Process Mining is a area of research that aims on analyzing business processes based on event logs [1]. Insights gathered from the analysis can be used by organizations to identify bottlenecks if any, improve or enhance their business process. For example, in the domain of Software Engineering, Gupta et al. mine bug report history for discovering process maps, inefficiencies and inconsistencies [2]. Based on whether an a priori model exists or not, Process Mining is classified into three broad techniques viz. Process Discovery, Process Conformnce and Process Enhancement. Process Mining is divided into three different perspectives viz. Control Flow, Organizational and Case, based on the type of attribute being considered from the event log [1]. Control Flow perspective focuses on the lineage of business processes. Organizational Mining perspective deals with techniques used to study social structure within an organization [3], [4]. Whereas Case perspective focuses on mining information within each process instance (CaseID). Organizational Mining is a Process Discovery technique which focuses on finding social networks between Actors of the event log. Various metrics for finding such sociograms are defined in [3].
+Organizations have generally used Relational Databases (RDBMS) to store data. RDBMS handle tabular structures exceedingly well [5]. RDBMS generally focuses on Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) applications but are not found to be efficient for certain Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) applications that involve joins or analytical functions (Dense_Rank, Sum, Average, etc.) at large scale. Developers have faced problems in trying to handle relationships with RDBMS mostly due to join intensive queries leading to JOIN BOMB1. The reason is that relationships in RDBMS can be modeled by means of joins only, and an increase in connectedness of data implies increased number of joins. Join intensive queries are an impediment to performance and scalability in a dynamic system with ever-changing business needs. Furthermore, complications arise when, in addition to modeling the relationships, we also need to weigh the strength of these relationships [5].
+Recent trends in database technologies has seen the emergence of various NoSQL databases. These databases breaks away from the traditional one-size-fits-all philosophy employed by RDBMS and instead focuses on specific use cases [6]. One such type of databases is Graph Database that are built to cater to linked data commonly found on social networking sites like Linkedin2, Facebook3, etc. Graph databases have emerged to address the issue of lever-

+
+aging complex and dynamic relationships in highly connected data. In contrast to relational databases, where performance deteriorates as the size of the dataset increases, performance of a graph database is expected to remain constant, even as the dataset grows [5]. This is because queries would be localized to a portion of the graph and hence, the execution time for each query would depend only on the part of the graph traversed to satisfy that query, instead of the overall size of the graph.
+A lot of research has has been done on integrating data mining techniques directly into the DBMS [7], [8], [9]. This allows for better data management, allows primitives to be defined at database levels and the applications are tightly coupled to the database. We aim to implement Organizational Mining algorithms viz. Similar-Task and Sub-Contract, using only database language constructs and make these applications tightly coupled to the database. In view of the current work, our aim of this study can be summarized as-
+1. To investigate approaches to transform Similar-Task and Sub-Contract algorithm in roworiented database MySQL4.
+2. To examine approaches to adapt Similar-Task and Sub-Contract algorithm in graphoriented database Neo4j5.
+3. To conduct a series of experiments to benchmark and compare performance of SimilarTask and Sub-Contract algorithms in Neo4j against MySQL.
+2 Related Work and Research Contribution
+In this Section, we closely review the related work to the study that are presented in this paper and also list the novel contributions of our work in context to existing work.
+2.1 Implementation of Mining Algorithms in Relational Databases
+Ordonez et al. did an extensive work on implementing k-means clustering algorithm in SQL [7]. They came up three different SQL implementations of k-means algorithm to integrate it with RDBMS. Experiments were performed on large clusters, efficient indexing and with queries optimized and re-written. Ordonez et al. also presented SQL implementations of EM Algorithm that worked with high dimensional data, high number of clusters and very large datasets [8]. They came up with three different strategies viz. Horizontal, Vertical and Hybrid. Ordonez et al. came up with another SQL implementation of clustering algorithm which merges Markov Chain Monte Carlo with EM algorithm [9]. Sattler et al. described primitives for applying and building decision tree classifiers which were directly coupled on commercial databases used in various classification problems [10].

+
+2.2 Implementation of Mining Algorithms in Graph Databases
+Wang et al. presented papers that studied structural pattern mining for large disk based graph databases They presented a novel ADI index structure and efficient algorithms for mining frequent patterns [11]. Wang et al again came up with novel techniques to obtain scalable mining on large disk based graph databases [12]. Huan et al. also presented techniques to find maximal frequent sub-graphs from Graph Databases [13]. Ozaki came up with the concept of hyperclique pattern in graph databases to detect highly correlated sub-graph in graph structured databases. It considers general ordering of sub-graphs and employed techniques like breadth-first search/ depth-first search with powerful pruning techniques based on various measures [14].
+2.3 Performance comparison between Relational and Graph Databases.
+Vicknair et al. performed comparisons between Relational Databases and Graph Databases. Their work included recording and querying data provenance information [15]. McColl et al. evaluated performance for a series of open-source graph databases. They used four different graph algorithms to evaluate performance for graph setup consisting upto 256 million nodes [16]. Ciglan et al. came up with benchmarking of graph databases over graph traversal algorithms [17]. Macko et al. presented a performance introspection framework for graph databases, PIG. PIG provided techniques and tools to understand performance of graph databases [18].
+2.4 Performance Analysis of Process Mining Algorithm on other Architecture
+Kundra et al. investigate the application of parallelization on Alpha Miner algorithm and use Graphics Processor Unit (GPU) to run computationally intensive parts of Alpha Miner algorithm in parallel. They demonstrate a highest speedup on GPU reaching 39-40 times from the same program run over multi-core CPU [19]. Sachdev et al. [20]. Sachdev et al. investigate which of the databases (Relational or NoSQL) performs better for a Process Discovery application under Process Mining [20]. They conduct a performance benchmarking and comparison of the alpha-miner algorithm on row-oriented database and NoSQL column-oriented database [20][21]. Anand et al. Anand et al propose a Utility-Based Fuzzy Miner (UBFM) algorithm to efficiently mine a process model driven by a utility threshold and conduct experimental analysis to show the performance of the process mining algorithm on relational databases [22].

While data mining algorithms like frequent pattern mining have been implemented in graph databases, we believe we are the first to implement Organizational Mining algorithms in graph databases. 3. We conduct a series of experiments to compare performance and benchmark Organizational Mining algorithms on graph databases against relational databases.
+
+3 Similar-Task and Sub-Contract Algorithm
+An example of an event log is shown in Table 1. Each row of the table is an event with CaseID, corresponding Activity and the Actor performing that Activity. We suggest readers to refer [3], [4] for better understanding of Organizational Mining metrics.
+3.1 Similar-Task Algorithm
+Similar-Task algorithm which comes under Organizational Mining is a metric based on joint activities. It does not consider how individuals work together on shared cases but focuses on the activities they perform [3]. Similar-Task aims at finding similarity between Actors based on the intersection of Activities. The idea is that individuals performing similar tasks are more closely related to each other than individuals performing different tasks [3]. Similarity calculation could be achieved using Cosine-Similarity, Pearson Correlation Coefficient, Hamming Distance, etc. Based on previous literature reviews, we present the following adaptation of Similar-Task algorithm.
+The input to Similar-Task algorithm is a 2-dimensional matrix. The matrix contains frequencies of activities performed by each actor. This matrix is commonly referred as ActorActivity Matrix. An example of Actor-Activity Matrix is shown in Table 2. For instance, Matt performs activity A twice, activity E thrice and has no involvement in activities B, C and D. In this paper, we use Cosine-Similarity as a metric of measuring similarity between Actors

+
+based on the Activities they perform. Table 3 gives similarity values between Actors based on Algorithm 1.
+3.2 Subcontract Algorithm
+Sub-Contract is another Organizational Mining metric which is based on causal dependencies between Actors in carrying out business process [3]. Sub-Contract Algorithms tries to find out the number of times individual j executes it's task in between two activities performed by individual i [3]. Sub-Contract algorithm considers dependencies between activities in the process model, commonly referred as causality fall factor (). These dependencies can be obtained using Process Discovery techniques like -miner algorithm. Sub-Contract algorithm also considers direct/indirect succession (depth) between Actors. It also takes into consideration whether sub-contraction between Actors occurs single or multiple times. Sub-Contract algorithm presented in Algorithm 2 considers indirect succession, multiplicity while ignoring dependencies of activities.
+Each P rocessInstance corresponds to a Case Identifier (CaseID) in the event log. AuditTrailEntryList constitutes all the events pertaining to a particular CaseID. An AuditT railEntry refers to an individual event [4]. For example, considering events pertaining to Case1 in Table 1, we have a sub-contraction between Matt and Britney. Matrix entry corresponding to Matt and Britney is updated in m followed by an update in D. Final result shown in Table 4 is obtained after all such sub-contractions are identified from all cases in the event log.

+Typical Steps involved in the implementation of Similar-Task algorithm in RDBMS is shown in Fig. 1. We import the event log dataset into a table, dataset. A stored procedure creates Actor-Activity matrix (a table in MySQL) from dataset table. We use Actor-Activity matrix(AAMatrix) for calculating cosine-similarity in another stored procedure and the similarity values are collected in Result Matrix.
+The SQL implementation of Similar-Task algorithm involves Create, Read, Update, Delete (CRUD)7 statements. We define these statements as a single adhoc SQL query or as part of stored procedure(s).
+1. To create Actor-Activity matrix, we define a stored procedure that takes the table dataset as input parameter. (a) We collect all distinct Activity from table dataset using a cursor8. (b) We create a table AAMatrix to store frequency of each Activity performed by the Actors. AAMatrix's schema is of the form (Actor, Activity1, Activity2,...) where Actor is of type VARCHAR and is a PRIMARY KEY, and Activity1, Activity2, etc. are all those Activities collected from the cursor and are of type INT.

+8
+
+2. We populate Actor-Activity matrix using INSERT and IF statements inside the stored procedure. For any (Actor, Activity) pair that is found, its corresponding value in AAMatrix is incremented by one.
+COUNT(IF (ACTIVITY='ACTIVITY1', 1, NULL)) COUNT(IF (ACTIVITY='ACTIVITY2', 1, NULL))
+This combination of COUNT and IF statements are combined with INSERT statement to populate AAMatrix. 3. Calculation of Cosine-Similarity is done using another stored procedure that takes ActorActivity Matrix as input parameter. A table InitSim with schema (SOURCEACTOR, TARGETACTOR, SIMILARITY) is created to store similarity values as they are calculated. SOURCEACTOR and TARGETACTOR are of type VARCHAR, while SIMILARITY is of type DOUBLE. Join is applied to two instances of AAMatrix and cosinesimilarity calculated for each pair of distinct Actors.
+AAMatrix T1 JOIN AAMatrix T2 WHERE T1.ACTOR <> T2.ACTOR
+The similarity values obtained with calculations on the join are first ordered by T1.ACTOR, followed by T2.ACTOR and then inserted into InitSim. 4. We create another table FinalSim with schema (SOURCEACTOR, ACTOR1, ACTOR2, ...) and populate it using values from InitSim. The schema is also created using cursors in the stored procedure where each distinct Actor forms the column of table FinalSim. Data into table FinalSim is populated in the same way as Step 2.
+4.2 Sub-Contract Algorithm
+Alike Similar-Task algorithm, implementation of Sub-Contract algorithm also involves ad-hoc SQL queries and dynamically built queries using stored procedures. The implementation flow is much alike Fig. 1, and has not been shown here.
+1. We import the event log dataset in a table also named dataset (ID, CaseID, Actor, Activity) where ID is an auto incrementing field, CaseID is the case identifier selected from the dataset. Actor and Activity are self-explanatory. However, for efficient implementation of the algorithm, data from the dataset is re-ordered so that all events corresponding to a CaseID are together and ordered in ascending order. We define a secondary table named organiseddata to store this ordered information.
+2. Sub-Contraction can only be detected if there are at least three (3) events in a particular CaseID. Joins are applied only when this criteria is met. Since each event in the table is assigned a unique ID (auto incrementing), so actor responsible for sub-contraction will always have ID difference of at least 2. The following SQL snippet joins tables for each CaseID to find the IDs of actors responsible for sub-contraction.

+organiseddata AS T1 JOIN organiseddata AS T2 ON T2.ID >= T1.ID + 2 AND T1.ACTOR= T2.ACTOR AND T1.ACTIVITY <> T2.ACTIVITY ORDER BY DIFF ASC
+3. Once IDs of Actors responsible for sub-contraction are found out in Step 2, all intermediate IDs are collected and their sub-contraction strength calculated. We create a table RESULTTABLE (PERFORMER, ACTOR1, ACTOR2, ...) to store the value of sub-contraction. Here, PERFORMER is the actor with whom sub-contraction is being considered, and ACTOR1, ACTOR2, etc. are other Actors that are placed dynamically using stored procedure.
+5 Implementation of Algorithms in Neo4j
+5.1 Similar-Task Algorithm
+The Steps involved in the implementation of Similar-Task algorithm in Neo4j9 is shown in Fig. 2. Fig. 2(a) depicts how Actor-Activity information is maintained in Neo4j. While Fig. 4(b) presents a typical view of the graph after similarity calculation. We present Similar-Task algorithm adapted for graph database in Algorithm 3.
+1. We create nodes and relationships such that Actor-Activity information is also calculated and stored directly during dataset import. We create only unique Actor and Activity nodes and merge the relationship between them for any repetition. Relationship [:PERFORMS] connects an Actor to an Activity node with a property times that records the frequency of the Activity performed by that Actor.
+2. Calculation of Cosine-Similarity in Neo4j comprises of three steps.
+9http://neo4j.com/docs/
+10
+
+(a) All intersecting Activities between a pair of Actors are found out. (b) Using value of times property from [:PERFORMS] relationship for all the intersect-
+ing activities found in Step 2(a), cosine-similarity is calculated. (c) The cosine-similarity value thus obtained is stored as a value to property similarity
+in the relationship [:SIMILARITY] between the Actors in consideration. MATCH (p1:Actor)-[x:PERFORMS]->(m:Activity)<-[y:PERFORMS]-(p2:Actor) WITH SUM(x.times * y.times) AS xyDotProduct,
+SQRT(REDUCE(xDot = 0.0, a IN COLLECT(x.times) | xDot + a^2)) AS xLength, SQRT(REDUCE(yDot = 0.0, b IN COLLECT(y.times) | yDot + b^2)) AS yLength, p1, p2 MERGE (p1)-[s:SIMILARITY]-(p2) SET s.similarity = xyDotProduct / (xLength * yLength)
+5.2 Sub-Contract Algorithm
+We implement Sub-Contract algorithm in graph database using a similar approach as shown in Fig. 2. But unlike Similar-Task algorithm implementation in CYPHER, only CaseID is made unique. Whereas other information like Actor and Activity are created for each event in the event log.
+1. We create unique 'CASE' nodes for distinct CaseIDs. These Case nodes stores information like the case names, and an incrementing counter, occurrence ID (OccID) whose value increases as new Actor nodes for that CaseID is added. Within each CaseID, Actor nodes are created with information like actor name, OccID (taken from CaseID) and the activity it performs. Case nodes and Actor nodes are connected via [:CONTAINS] relationship.
+2. Second Step involves finding Actors responsible for sub-contraction. It is worth mentioning that OccID are always assigned in ascending order and only those Actors with same name but with different Activity and OccID are responsible for sub-contraction. For each CaseID,
+(a) We find out OccIDs of the Actors responsible for sub-contraction. (b) We collect all intermediate OccIDs between the OccIDs found in Step 2(a). (c) A relationship [:RELATED_TO] is created from the the OccID of starting Actor
+node found in Step 2(a) to all intermediate OccIDs found in Step 2(b). A property value is set to 1 that is used in subsequent steps.
+WITH commActorPath, n, (Actor2.OccID - Actor1.OccID) as sepDist WITH RANGE(head(nodes(commActorPath)).OccID+1,
+last(nodes(commActorPath)).OccID-1) as intermediateIDs, n, head(nodes(commActorPath)).OccID as startID, sepDist UNWIND intermediateIDs as endID
+11
+
+MATCH (person1:PERSON {OccID:startID})<--(n)-->(person2:PERSON {OccID:endID}) MERGE (person1)-[:RELATED_TO {value:1, length:sepDist}]->(person2)
+We define commActorPath as the path to find out the Actors (with common name) responsible for sub-contraction. RANGE function collects all the intermediate IDs which is then used to connect sub-contracting Actors. 3. Sub-contraction strength between two Actors can only be set once they Actor nodes are made unique. To do so, we create UNIQUEACTOR nodes for all distinct Actor names in the database. 4. The final Step of the algorithm involves setting sub-contract strength between UNIQUEACTOR nodes. For each CaseID,
+(a) We collect start node and end node of [:RELATED_TO] relationship. (b) We refer the UNIQUEACTOR nodes corresponding to the start node and end node
+found in Step 4(a). (c) We establish sub-contraction between the two UNIQUEACTOR nodes using [:SUB-
+CONTRACT] relationship with a property strength whose value is updated accordingly using the value property of [:RELATED_TO] relationship.
+MATCH (n)-[:CONTAINS]->()-[r:RELATED_TO]->()<-[:CONTAINS]-(n) MERGE (p:UNIQUEACTOR {name:startNode(r).name})-[rf:SUBCONTRACT]->(q:UNIQUEACTOR
+{name:endNode(r).name}) SET rf.strength = CASE WHEN rf.strength IS NULL THEN r.value ELSE rf.strength +
+(0.5^(l-2))*r.value END
+6 Experimental Dataset
+We conduct experiments on a publicly available large real world dataset downloaded from Business Process Intelligence 2014 (BPI 2014)10. The dataset contains information on Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) of Robobank Information and Communication and Technology (ICT). ITIL is a process of addressing customer grievances regarding disruption in ICT services. A Service Desk Agent records the complete information about the problem in an Interaction record. We choose the 'Detail Incident Activity' for our set of experiments. The dataset contains 4, 66, 737 records and out of the seven fields in the dataset, we use the following three
+1. Incident_ID: The unique ID of a record in the Service Management tool. It is represented as CaseID in our data model.
+2. IncidentActivity_Type: Identifies which type of an activity takes place. 3. Assignment_Group: The team responsible for an activity.

+7 Benchmarking and Performance Comparison
+We conduct a series of experiments on the implementations of Similar-Task and Sub-Contract algorithms. Our benchmarking system consists of Intel Core 2 Duo (3M Cache, 2.1 GHz), 4 GB DDR3 RAM and 320 GB of Hard disk drive. We use Windows 8.1 with single node setup of MySQL 5.6 and Neo4j 2.14. We ensure that only minimally required services are running during the analysis. We conduct experiments on warmed up cache and the values recorded are an average over five runs of the implementations. In order to study scalability, we divide our event log dataset into five different chunks of increasing size and conduct experiments that takes into consideration both the size of the dataset and the number of unique actors in each chunk. Table 5 presents the statistics for each of these chunks.
+7.1 Similar-Task Algorithm
+Table 6 and Fig. 3 reveals load time across different sizes. The load time includes loading data into a table, processing it to generate and populate an Actor-Activity matrix. The load time varies with the number of unique actors present in each chunk. We observe that both the databases give similar performance. However with increase in number of unique actors, Neo4j gives better load time performance and has been seen to perform 1.25x magnitude faster than MySQL.
+We believe that Neo4j's better performance is due to the fact that only unique Actor and Activity nodes are created during data import. On the other hand, MySQL has a predefined schema with number of columns being equivalent to the number of distinct activities in the dataset. Hence even if an actor has not performed an activity, value (albeit zero or default)

+has to be set at that respective column. Whereas Neo4j defines relationship only when they are discovered and thus gives better performance.
+The core of Similar-Task algorithm is similarity calculation between Actors (Step-8 of the Algorithm 1) and updating the result table (Step-9 of the Algorithm 1). Table 7 and Fig. 4 displays the time taken to calculate cosine-similarity and update result in Similar-Task Algorithm as a function of the number of unique actors for different dataset chunk (given in Table 5). It is interesting to note that execution time for cosine-similarity calculation in MySQL is 32 times better than Neo4j. In case of write operations too, MySQL slightly outperforms Neo4j by a magnitude of 1.5.

+We believe that data meant for cosine similarity calculation in MySQL is available in tables, and fetching these data is then only limited to advancing pointers to the next row. Graph databases like Neo4j are not known to have such constructs available for matrix. Calculations in Neo4j are based on reading property values defined on nodes and relationships. Cosinesimilarity computation in Neo4j requires matching intersecting activities between the two actors in concern, collecting property values from the relationships connecting these intersecting activities, followed by the actual computation. It is for this reason that we see a sharp rise in cosine-similarity calculation in Neo4j. Fig. 4(b) gives an estimate of the time required to update results. We observe that setting properties in Neo4j is more time consuming because existing relationships needs to be merged with the updated property values or new ones be created if such relationship does not exist. Whereas updating results in MySQL only consists

+Table 8 and Fig. 5(a) presents the disk space taken by tables in MySQL which includes both the space taken by actual data and indexes, if any. Readers are suggested to refer to Section 4.1 for better understanding of the tables associated with the implementation of Similar-Task algorithm. Table 9 and Fig. 5(b) shows disk space taken by various graph elements in Neo4j. We observe that Neo4j uses almost 12 times less disk space in comparison to MySQL. We believe that nodes and relationships in Neo4j are created only when needed. On the other hand, MySQL needs to write values for all columns which contributes to higher disk usage.
+
+7.2 Sub Contract Algorithm
+Table 10 and Fig. 6 shows data load time across different dataset sizes. The load time includes loading the event log dataset, pre-procesing and writing it back to the database. Pre-procesing in MySQL involves ordering the event log dataset by CaseID, whereas assigning incremental occurrence identifiers to Actor nodes within each Case node in Neo4j. We observe that for a single node setup, both the databases give similar performance. However with increase in dataset size, Neo4j gives better load time performance and is seen to perform 1.15x magnitude faster than MySQL. Also data load time in Sub-Contract algorithm is 5.5x magnitude slower than Similar-Task algorithm.

+Data Load Time for Sub-Contract Algorithm
+
+We observe that alike Similar-Task algorithm, data load time exhibits similar pattern in SubContract algorithm too. With increase in dataset size, ordering tables by CaseID and writing them back to database takes longer time as compared to creating nodes in Neo4j. However we observe that load time is higher in Sub-Contract algorithm as compared to Similar-Task algorithm because Actor nodes are created for each event in the event log. Whereas in SimilarTask algorithm only unique nodes are created. We believe that setting property values on nodes for each event in the dataset incurs more write operations and thus takes more time as compared to setting property values for unique nodes in Similar-Task algorithm.
+Table 11 displays execution time of four major steps of Sub-Contract algorithm. These steps include updating the value of normal (Update Normal), detecting sub-contracting Actors (Sub-Contraction Detection), writing the result back to the database (Update Result) and normalizing the result (Normalize Result). Table 12 shows the execution time noted for four major steps of Sub-Contract algorithm implemented in Neo4j. We record execution time for the four major steps as a function of dataset size and the results are presented in Fig. 7(a) and Fig. 7(b). We observe that Sub-Contract algorithm implemented in MySQL have identical performance across dataset chunks. On the other hand, Sub-Contract algorithm's performance in Neo4j varies linearly with increase in dataset size. We observe that detecting sub-contracting Actors in Neo4j attains performance boost of the magnitude of 7x over MySQL. Empirical analysis shows that write operations in MySQL is almost 4 times slower than Neo4j.
+We believe that detecting sub-contracting actors in MySQL is compute intensive and hence time consuming task. The operation is expensive because detecting sub-contracting actors in-

+volves retrieving all records for a particular CaseID and then applying self-join on the result set. Joins are compute intensive task in MySQL and involves Cartesian product of the tables based on the condition, followed by selection. On the other hand, detecting sub-contracting actors in Neo4j is equivalent to traversing relationships in Neo4j using index-free adjacency. In our opinion, index-free adjacency achieves better traversal because relationships are stored as firstclass citizens in Neo4j and no computation(s) are performed for deriving these relationships. Another major aspect that Fig. 7(a) and Fig. 7(b) brings forward is that write operation in MySQL roughly takes the same amount of time for all dataset sizes. We believe that MySQL needs to write values, albeit zero or default, for all those relations that does not even exist. On the other hand, Neo4j's approach to creating relationship between nodes only when needed is an effcient approach and thus takes less time as compared to MySQL. Although we observe a gradual increasing trend in Update Result (or write operation) in Neo4j, we conclude that write operation in Neo4j is linearly scalable with dataset size, On the other hand, write operations in MySQL is fairly constant for all dataset sizes and comparatively higher than Neo4j.
+Table 13 and Fig. 8(a) presents the disk space (in bytes) taken by tables in MySQL. These statistics include both initial tables, intermediate tables, final tables and index, if any. Table 14 and Fig. 8(b) shows the disk usage of various graph elements for the implementation of sub-contraction algorithm for different dataset sizes. The disk space for nodes is contributed by three different nodes type viz. Case nodes, Actor nodes and Unique Actor nodes. There are three relationships that contribute to relationship disk space viz. [: CON T AIN S] relationships that connects Case node to Actor nodes, [:RELATED_TO] connects Actor to Actor who satisfy the sub-contraction criteria and [: SU BCON T RACT ] connects UNIQUEACTOR nodes

+
+Table 14: Disk Space Usage (bytes) for Neo4j elements (Sub - Contract)
+
+We believe that Neo4j's disk space usage for Neo4j is higher than MySQL because of the number of properties being used to store information used in sub-contract detection. Each property in Neo4j takes 41 bytes and relationship takes 33 bytes. Apart from this, Neo4j stores relationships using index-free adjacency which means every relationship is explicitly stored without any pointers or indexes. This contributes to higher disk usage in Neo4j. On the other hand, MySQL stores information in tables whose size is determined by the data type involved and thus consumes lesser disk space.
+We conduct a general experiment to study the variance of memory, disk and process parameters in MySQL and Neo4j using Performance Monitor. We use SQL and CYPHER implementations of Similar-Task algorithm for the experiment. Fig. 9(a) and 9(b) presents bar graphs for various memory, process and disk related parameters. We observe that Neo4j achieves higher level of caching and outperforms MySQL by a factor of 18. Though, Neo4j is seen to incur 3 times more page faults per second, such page faults may not necessarily go to disk. It is further made evident from the fact that MySQL incurs about 6 times more IO operations per second as compared to Neo4j. Fig. 9(b) further strengthens the point with the fact that MySQL spends almost 10 times more time in disk operations and about 6 times more doing disk transfers per second. Based on experimental results, we conclude that Neo4j is more IO efficient than MySQL and with higher physical memory, Neo4j's performance would significantly improve.

+8 Conclusion
+In this paper, we present the implementation of two different Organizational Mining algorithms in Structured Query Language and CYPHER Query Language. We implement Similar-Task and Sub-Contract algorithm for both native SQL client and as well as by using Java API's using memoization. Furthermore, we benchmark and present performance comparisons of SimilarTask and Sub-Contract algorithms in MySQL and Neo4j. Similar-Task implementation in MySQL is a one-tier application which uses only standard SQL queries and advanced stored procedures. Similarly, implementation in Neo4j is done using standard CYPHER queries. We conclude that Neo4j on an average is 1.25 times faster than MySQL in loading large datasets with only unique elements being created. Based on experimental results, we conclude that similarity calculation in MySQL is 32 times better in MySQL as compared to Neo4j. MySQL outperforms Neo4j in terms of time taken for write operations. The time taken by MySQL is 1.5 times lower as compared to Neo4j. The disk space occupied by elements of graph database in Neo4j is 12 times lower than disk space taken by tables in MySQL. We conclude that Neo4j is more efficient than MySQL in terms of storing only unique information in the database.

Similarly, implementation in Neo4j is done using native CYPHER queries. Also, we implement Sub-Contract algorithm with Java API using memoization. We conclude that Neo4j on an average is 1.15 times faster than MySQL in loading large datasets with duplication of elements being allowed. Based on experimental results, we conclude that traversing relationships to find sub-contracting actors in Neo4j is 7 times better as compared to MySQL. Neo4j outperforms MySQL in terms of time taken for write operations. The time taken by Neo4j is 4 times lower as compared to MySQL. However, disk space taken by graph elements in Neo4j is over 30 times higher as compared to MySQL because of the need to store redundant information.
+

+
+In general, we conclude that Neo4j gives better performance than MySQL in loading large datasets with performance benefits of upto 25 percent. Tasks which involve traversing relationships followed by computation (like Similar-Task algorithm) are time consuming in Neo4j. However, Neo4j performs better than MySQL when finding relationship is concerned (like SubContract algorithm) and is seen to perform 7 times better than MySQL. Also Neo4j gives better write time performance as volume of data increases. Based on our analysis of resources during experiments of Similar-Task algorithm, we conclude that Neo4j achieves higher level of caching and incurs almost 6 times lower disk IO operations. Our analysis reveals that Neo4j spends 10x less time doing disk operations with an average of 6 times lower disk transfers per second.

+Abstract. Using a relative version of Auslander's formula, we show that bounded derived category of every artin algebra admits a categorical resolution. This, in particular, implies that bounded derived categories of artin algebras of finite global dimension determine bounded derived categories of all artin algebras. This in a sense provides a categorical level of Auslander's result stating that artin algebras of finite global dimension determine all artin algebras.

+1. Introduction
+Let X be an algebraic variety. A resolution of singularities of X is a certain (proper and birational) morphism  : X  X, where X is a non-singular algebraic variety. The functor Db(cohX)  Db(cohX) induced by  enjoys some remarkable properties. The bounded derived categories of coherent sheaves on X and X are related by two natural functors, known as the derived pushforward  : Db(cohX)  Db(cohX) and the derived pullback functor  : Dperf (cohX)  Db(cohX), such that  is left adjoint to . Here Dperf(cohX) stands for the full subcategory of Db(cohX) consisting of perfect complexes. If furthermore, X have

+rational singularities, then the unit of adjunction 1Dperf -  is an isomorphism and  induces an identification between Db(cohX) and the quotient of Db(cohX) by the kernel of .
+Based on this observation, Kuznetsov [Ku] introduced the notion of a categorical resolution of singularities. By definition a categorical resolution of Db(A) is a smooth triangulated category D and a pair of functors  and  satisfying almost similar conditions as above, see [Ku, Definition 3.2]. Recall that a triangulated category T is called smooth if it is triangle equivalent to the bounded derived category of an abelian category A with vanishing singularity category, i.e. Dbsg(A) = 0.
+Note that Bondal and Orlov [BO] also took the above observation as a template and defined a categorical desingularization of a triangulated category T to be a pair (A, K), where A is an abelian category of finite homological dimension and K is a thick triangulated subcategory of Db(A) such that T  Db(A)/K, see [BO, �5]. Recall that a full triangulated subcategory of a triangulated category T is called thick if it is closed under taking direct summands.
+Recently, Zhang [Z] combined these two categorical levels of the notion of a resolution of singularities and suggested a new definition for a categorical resolution of a non-smooth triangulated category [Z, Definition 1.1]. He then proved that if  is an artin algebra of infinite global dimension and has a module T with idT < 1 such that T is of finite type, then the bounded derived category Db(mod-) admits a categorical resolution [Z, Theorem 4.1]. The main technique for proving this result is the notion of relative derived categories studied by several authors in different settings, see e.g [N], [Bu] and [GZ].
+In this paper, we generalize Zhang's result to arbitrary artin algebras and show that the bounded derived category of every artin algebra admits a categorical resolution. The technique for the proof is based on a relative version of the so-called Auslander's Formula [Au1] and [L]. This relative version will be treated explicitly in Section 3 and is of independent interest. Auslander's formula suggests that for studying an abelian category A one may study mod-A, the category of finitely presented additive functors on A, that has nicer homological properties than A, and then translate the results back to A. Here, among other results, we replace A with a contravariantly finite subcategory X of A that contains projective objects. We establish the existence of a recollement and show that Auslander's formula is in fact derived from this recollement, see Theorem 3.7. Similar result will be provided for finitely presented covariant functors, Theorem 3.8. Beside Auslander's formula, some interesting corollaries will be derived from this recollement, among them Auslander's four terms exact sequence. Some examples and also applications will be presented in Section 4. Then we consider the category of left -modules, where  is an artin algebra, in Section 5 and present a recollement containing -mod, see Theorem 5.2.4 below. To this end we discuss briefly the structure of injective finitely presented covariant functors in a subsection, Subsection 5.1. Using this, for every resolving contravariantly
+finite subcategory X of mod-, we construct a duality DX between the categories of right and left -modules, also in stable level.
+Last section is devoted to the proof of our main theorem. To this end, besides Auslander's formula we use the following known result of Auslander. In his Queen Mary College lectures
+[Au2] he proves that for an artin algebra  there exists an artin algebra  of finite global
+dimension and an idempotent e of  such that  = ee. Hence, as he mentioned, artin algebras of finite global dimension determine all artin algebras. Later on Dlab and Ringel [DR] showed
+that  in Auslander's construction is in fact a quasi-hereditary artin algebra. Our volunteer for
+the proof of the main theorem is , that throughout for ease of reference we call it A-algebra of . `A' stands both for `Auslander' and also `Associated' algebra.

+
+Our main theorem, in particular, implies that for any artin algebra  of infinite global dimension there exits an artin algebra  of finite global dimension, its A-algebra, such that Db(mod-) is equivalent to a quotient of Db(mod-). Therefore artin algebras of finite global dimensions, or better quasi-hereditary algebras, determine all artin algebras also in the categorical level.
+
+2. Preliminaries
+Let A be an additive skeletally small category. The Hom sets will be denoted either by HomA(-, -), A(-, -) or even just (-, -), if there is no risk of ambiguity. Let X be a full subcategory of A. By definition, a (right) X -module is a contravariant additive functor F : X  Ab, where Ab denotes the category of abelian groups. The X -modules and natural transformations between them, called morphisms, form an abelian category denoted by Mod-X or sometimes (X op, Ab). An X -module F is called finitely presented if there exists an exact sequence
+X (-, X)  X (-, X)  F  0,
+with X and X in X . All finitely presented X -modules form a full subcategory of Mod-X , denoted by mod-X or sometimes f.p.(Cop, Ab). Covariant additive functors and its full subcategory consisting of finitely presented (left) X -modules will be denoted by X -Mod and X -mod, respectively. Since every finitely generated subobject of a finitely presented object is finitely presented [Au1, Page 200], Auslander called them coherent functors.
+The Yoneda embedding X  mod-X , sending each X  X to X (-, X) := A(-, X)|X , is a fully faithful functor. Note that for each X  X , X (-, X) is a projective object of mod-X . Moreover, every projective objects of mod-X is a direct summand of X (-, X), for some X  X . These facts are known and also easy to prove using Yoneda Lemma.
+A morphism X  Y is a weak kernel of a morphism Y  Z in X if the induced sequence
+(-, X) - (-, Y ) - (-, Z)
+is exact on X . It is known that mod-X is an abelian category if and only if X admits weak kernels, see e.g. [Au2, Chapter III, �2] or [Kr2, Lemma 2.1].
+Let A  A. A morphism  : X  A with X  X is called a right X -approximation of A if A(-, X)|X - A(-, A)|X - 0 is exact, where A(-, A)|X is the functor A(-, A) restricted to X . Hence A has a right X -approximation if and only if (-, A)|X is a finitely generated objects of Mod-X . X is called contravariantly finite if every object of A admits a right X -approximation. Dually, one can define the notion of left X -approximations and covariantly finite subcategories. X is called functorially finite, if it is both covariantly and contravariantly finite.
+It is obvious that if X is contravariantly finite, then it admits weak kernels and hence mod-X is an abelian category.
+2.1. Recollements of abelian categories. A subcategory S of an abelian category A is called a Serre subcategory, if it is closed under taking subobjects, quotients and extensions. Let S be a Serre subcategory of A. The quotient categoryA/S is by definition the localization of A with respect to the collection of morphisms that their kernels and cokernels are in S. It is known [Ga] that A/S is an abelian category and the quotient functor Q : A - A/S is exact with KerQ = S.

+of additive functors such that u, v and v are fully faithful, (u, u), (u, u), (v, v) and (v, v) are adjoint pairs and Imu = Kerv.
+Note that v is fully faithful if and only if v is fully faithful. It follows quickly in a recollement situation that the functors u and v are exacts, u induces an equivalence between A and the Serre subcategory Imu = Kerv of A and there exists an equivalence A  A/A, see for instance
+[Ps, Remark 2.2].
+A localisation, resp. colocalisation, sequence consists only the lower, resp. upper, two rows of
+a recollement such that the functors appearing in them satisfy all the conditions of a recollement
+that involve only these functors. Two recollements (A, A, A) and (B, B, B) are equivalent if there exist equivalences  :
+A  B,  : A  B and  : A  B, such that the six diagrams associated to the six functors
+of the recollements commute up to natural equivalences, see [PV, Lemma 4.2].
+
+Remark 2.1. Let v : A  A be an exact functor between abelian categories admitting a left and a right adjoint, v, v, respectively, such that one of the v or v, and hence both of them, are fully faithful. Then we get a recollement (Kerv, A, A) of abelian categories, see [Ps, Remark 2.3] for details.
+
+In our recollement (A, A, A) let us denote the counits of the adjunctions uu  1A and vv  1A by uu and vv, respectively and the units of the adjunctions 1A  uu and 1A  vv by uu and vv, respectively.
+Remark 2.2. Let (A, A, A) be a recollement of abelian categories. Then for any A  A there exists the following two exact sequences
+0 - uu(A) -Auu A -Avv vv(A) - CokerAvv - 0; 0 - KerAvv - vv(A) -Avv A -Auu uu(A) - 0. Moreover, there exist A0 and A1  A such that CokerAvv = u(A0) and KerAvv = u(A1). For the proof see [FP] and [PV, Proposition 2.8].
+
+2.2. Dualising R-varieties. Let R be a commutative artinian ring. The notion of dualising Rvarieties is introduced by Auslander and Reiten [AR1]. A dualising R-variety can be considered as an analogue of the category of finitely generated projective modules over an artin algebra, but with possibly infinitely many indecomposable objects, up to isomorphisms. Let X be an additive R-linear essentially small category. X is called a dualising R-variety if the functor Mod-X - Mod-X op taking F to DF , induces a duality mod-X - mod-X op. Note that D(-) := HomR(-, E), where E is the injective envelope of R/radR. If X is a dualising Rvariety, then mod-X and mod-X op are abelian categories with enough projectives and injectives [AR1, Theorem 2.4].
+
+Remark 2.3. Let X be a dualising R-variety. Then (i) mod-X is a dualising R-variety [AR1, Proposition 2.6].
+
+CATEGORICAL RESOLUTIONS OF BOUNDED DERIVED CATEGORIES

+
+(ii) Every functorially finite subcategory of X is again a dualising R-variety [AS, Theorem 2.3], [I1, Proposition 1.2].
+
+Remark 2.4. The most basic example of a dualising R-variety is the category prj-, finitely generated projective -modules, where  is an artin algebra [AR1, Proposition 2.5]. Since mod- = mod-(prj-), by the above remark, mod- and also any functorially finite subcategory of it is dualising R-variety.
+
+2.3. Stable categories. Let A be an abelian category with enough projective objects. Let
+
+X be a subcategory of A containing Prj-A, the full subcategory of A consisting of projective
+
+objects. The stable category of X denoted by X is a category whose objects are the same as
+
+those
+
+of
+
+X,
+
+but
+
+the
+
+hom-set
+
+X (X, X)
+

+
+X, X
+
+X
+
+is
+

+
+as
+
+X (X, X) :=
+
+A(X,X P (X,X
+
+ 
+
+) )
+
+,
+
+where
+
+P(X, X) consists of all morphisms from X to X that factor through a projective object. We
+
+have the canonical functor  : X  X , defined by identity on objects but morphism f : X  Y
+
+will be sent to the residue class f := f + P(X, X).
+
+Throughout the paper,  denotes an artin algebra over a commutative artinian ring R, Mod- denotes the category of all right -modules and mod- denotes its full subcategory consisting of all finitely presented modules. Moreover, Prj-, resp. prj-, denotes the full subcategory of Mod-, resp. mod-, consisting of projective, resp. finitely generated projective, modules. Similarly, the subcategories Inj- and inj- are defined. D(-) := HomR(-, E), where E is the injective envelope of R/radR, denotes the usual duality. For a -module M , we let add-M denote the class of all modules that are isomorphic to a direct summand of a finite direct sum of copies of M .
+
+3. Relative Auslander Formula
+
+Let A be an abelian category. Auslander's work on coherent functors [Au1, page 205] implies that the Yoneda functor A - mod-A induces a localisation sequence of abelian categories
+
+mod0-Aj
+
+/ mod-Ah
+
+/A
+
+where mod0-A is the full subcategory of mod-A consisting of those functors F for them there exists a presentation A(-, A) - A(-, A) - F - 0 such that A - A is an epimorphism. See [Kr1, Theorem 2.2], where mod0-A is denoted by effA. This, in particular, implies that the functor mod-A - A, that is the left adjoint of the Yoneda functor, induces an equivalence
+
+mod-A mod0-A
+
+
+
+A.
+
+Following Lenzing [L] this equivalence will be called the Auslander's formula. In this section, we show that for a right coherent ring A and every contravariantly finite
+subcategory X of mod-A containing projective A-modules, there exists a recollement
+
+t mod0-Xj
+
+t / mod-Xi
+
+/ mod-A
+
+This, in particular, implies that
+
+mod-X mod0-X
+
+ mod-A.
+
+6
+
+JAVAD ASADOLLAHI, RASOOL HAFEZI AND MOHAMMAD H. KESHAVARZ
+
+In case we set X = mod-A, we get the usual Auslander's formula. The importance will be illustrated by some interesting examples of X , see Section 4.
+
+Let us begin with the following proposition that is an immediate consequence of Proposition 2.1 of [Au1].
+Proposition 3.1. Let A be an abelian category and X be a full subcategory of A that admits weak kernels. Consider the Yoneda embedding Y : X - mod-X . Then given any abelian category D, the induced functor Y D : (mod-X , D) - (X , D) has a left adjoint YD such that for each F  (X , D), YD(F ) is right exact and YD(F )Y = F .
+Proof. Set A = Mod-X and P = (-, X ) in the settings of Proposition 2.1 of [Au1]. Then P(A) = mod-X , which is an abelian category, because X has week kernels. So the result follows immediately.
+Remark 3.2. Consider the same settings as in the above proposition. Following Auslander [Au1], set D := A and let  : X  A be the inclusion. Hence  can be extended to a right exact functor YA() : mod-X - A. Let us for simplicity denote YA() by .
+We could provide an explicit interpretation of . Let F  mod-X and X (-, X1) (--,d) X (-, X0) - F - 0 be a projective presentation of F , where X0 and X1 are in X . Apply  and use the fact that by the above proposition (X (-, X)) = X, for all X in X , (F ) is then determined by the exact sequence
+X1 -d X0 - (F ) - 0.
+Moreover, if f : F - F  is a morphism in mod-X , then clearly it can be lifted to a morphism between their projective presentations. Yoneda lemma now come to play for the projective terms to provide unique morphisms on X1 and X0. These morphisms then induce a morphism (F ) - (F ), which is exactly (f ).
+Lemma 3.3. Let A be an abelian category with enough projective objects and X be a contravariantly finite subcategory of A containing all projectives. Then  is an exact functor.
+Proof. Since X is contravariantly finite, it admits weak kernels and hence mod-X is an abelian category. Since F  mod-X and X is contravariantly finite and contains projectives, there exists an exact sequence X (-, X2) - X (-, X1) - X (-, X0) - F - 0 in mod-X such that the induced sequence X2 - X1 - X0 is exact. So by applying , we get the exact sequence
+(X (-, X2)) - (X (-, X1)) - (X (-, X0)).
+So L1(F ), the first left derived functor of F , vanishes. Since this happens for all F  mod-X , we deduce that  is exact.
+Towards the end of this subsection, we show that if A = mod-A, where A is a right coherent ring and if X is a contravariantly finite subcategory of mod-A containing prj-A, then  has a left adjoint  and a fully faithful right adjoint . Let us first define the adjoint functors.
+3.4. Let M  mod-A. To define , let An -d Am - M - 0 be a projective presentation of M and set
+(M ) := Coker((-, An) - (-, Am)).
+
+CATEGORICAL RESOLUTIONS OF BOUNDED DERIVED CATEGORIES
+
+7
+
+For M   mod-A with projective presentation An -d Am - M  - 0 and a morphism f : M  M , we have the commutative diagram
+
+An d / Am  / M
+
+/0
+
+f1
+
+f0
+
+f
+
+ An
+
+ d / Am
+
+
+
+ / M
+
+/ 0.
+
+Then, Yoneda lemma in view of the fact that X contains projectives, induces a natural transformation (f ) : (M )  (M ) by the following commutative diagram
+
+(-, An) (-,d) / (-, Am)
+
+/ (M )
+
+/0
+
+ (-, An )
+
+(-,d ) /
+
+(-,
+
+ Am )
+
+/ (M )
+
+/ 0.
+
+A standard argument applies to show that (M ) and (f ) are independent of the choice of projective presentations of M and M  and also lifting of f .
+Moreover, define (M ) := (mod-A)(-, M )|X = HomA(-, M )|X .
+We sometimes write (-, M )|X for HomA(-, M )|X , where it is clear from the context. Note that if M  X , HomA(-, M )|X = X (-, M ).
+
+Lemma 3.5. With the above assumptions, the functor  is full and faithful.
+
+Proof. Its faithfulness is easy and follows from the fact that X contains projectives. We provide a proof for the fullness. Let  : HomA(-, A)|X - HomA(-, A)|X be a morphism in mod-X . Since X is contravariantly finite, we have exact sequences X1 - X0 - A - 0 and X1 - X0 - A - 0 of A-modules such that X0, X0 , X1, X1  X and the induced sequences
+
+HomA(-, X1)
+
+/ HomA(-, X0)
+
+/ HomA(-, A)|X
+
+/0
+
+
+
+
+
+HomA(-, X1 )
+
+/ HomA(-, X0 )
+
+/ HomA(-, A)|X
+
+/ 0,
+
+are exact on X . Since (-, Xi) is projectives for i = 0, 1,  lifts to morphisms 0 : HomA(-, X0)  HomA(-, X0) and 1 : HomA(-, X1 )  HomA(-, X1 ) making the diagram commutative. By Yoneda lemma, we get the commutative diagram

+
+Proof. Fix projective presentations (-, X1) (--,d) (-, X0) - F - 0 and An - Am - M - 0 of F  mod-X and M  mod-A. We first show that  is the left adjoint of . Define
+
+M,F : HomA(M, e(F )) - Hommod-X ((M ), F )
+
+as follows. An A-morphism f : M  (F ) can be lifted to commute the following diagram

+
+Yoneda lemma helps us to have the following diagram in mod-X such that the left square is

+commutative.

+
+So it induces a map  : (M )  F . Define M,F (f ) := . Standard homological arguments guarantee that  is well-defined. We show that it is an isomorphism. Assume that M,F (f ) =  = 0. So there exists an A-morphism S = (-, s) : (-, Am) - (-, X1) such that the lower triangle is commutative

+
+where the lower triangle is commutative. This in turn implies that f = 0. So M,F is one to one. One can follow similar argument to see that M,F is also surjective and hence is an isomorphism.
+To show that  is the right adjoint of , define with the same F and M as above,
+M,F : HomA((F ), M )  Hommod-X (F, (M )),
+by sending a morphism f : (F )  M to (f ), where  is the unique morphism that is obtained from the universal property of the cokernels in the following diagram

+
+We claim that M,F is an isomorphism. Assume that (f ) = 0. This in turn yields that (-, f )(-, ) = 0. So f  = 0, that implies f = 0, because  is a surjective map. Therefore M,F is a monomorphism.
+To show that it is also surjective, pick a natural transformation  : F  (M ). By Lemma 3.5,  can be presented by a unique map say, g : X0  M . But gd = 0 and hence there exists a unique morphism h : (F )  M such that h = g. It is obvious then that M,F (h) = .
+
+Set mod0-X := Ker, the full subcategory of mod-X consisting of all functors F such that (F ) = 0. This is equivalent to say that mod-X consists of all functors that vanish on  or
+equivalently on all finitely generated projective -modules. Since  is exact, mod0-X is a Serre subcategory of mod-X . Moreover the inclusion functor mod0-X  mod-X is exact.
+
+Theorem 3.7. Let A be a right coherent ring and X be a contravariantly finite subcategory of mod-A containing prj-A. Then there exists a recollement

+
+t mod0-Xj
+

+t / mod-Xi
+
+
+
+/ mod-A
+
+i
+
+
+
+of abelian categories. In particular,
+
+mod-X mod0-X
+
+ mod-A.
+
+Proof. By Proposition 3.6,  : mod-X - mod-A has a left and a right adjoint. Hence by Remark 2.1 to deduce that the recollement exists, we just need to show that either  or , and hence both of them, is full and faithful. This follows from Lemma 3.5. Hence the proof of the existence of recollement is complete. The equivalence is just an immediate consequence of the recollement. Hence we are done.
+
+The equivalence
+
+mod-X mod0 -X
+
+ mod-R will be called X -Auslander's formula.
+
+In case X
+
+= mod-R,
+
+we get the known (absolute) formula. Later on we will choose some specific classes and discuss
+
+some interesting examples.
+
+Analogously Theorem 3.7 can be stated for X -mod, the category of finitely presented covariant functors.
+
+Theorem 3.8. Let A be a right coherent ring and X be a covariantly finite subcategory of mod-A containing inj-A. Then, there exists a recollement

+
+Proof. Let F  X -mod. Pick a projective presentation (X1, -)  (X0, -)  F  0 of F and define (F ) := Ker(X0  X1).
+On the other hand, for M  mod-A define (M ) := (M, -)|X and (M ) := Coker((I1, -)  (I0, -)), where 0  M  I0  I1 is an injective copresentation of M . One should now follow

+
+similar, or rather dual, argument as we did, to prove that  is exact, (, ) and (, ) are adjoint pairs and  is fully faithful and hence deduce from Remark 2.1 that recollement exists. We leave the details to the reader.
+
+Remark 3.9. By Remark 2.2, two exact sequences can be derived from a recollement of abelian categories. Here we explicitly study these two exact sequences attached to the recollement of Theorem 3.7.
+Let F  mod-X . By the same notation as in the Remark 2.2 for the units and counits of adjunctions, we have the following two exact sequences
+0 - ii(F ) -Fii F -F (F ) - Coker(F) - 0;
+0 - Ker(F) - (F ) -F F -Fii ii(F ) - 0. As it is shown in the proof of Proposition 3.6,
+(F ) = (-, (F ))|X
+and (F ) = Coker((-, An) - (-, Am)),
+where An - Am - (F ) - 0 is a projective presentation of (F ). Clearly ii(F ) and ii(F ) both are in mod0-X . Moreover, we may deduce from Remark
+2.2 that CokerF and Ker(F) belong to mod0-X . Putting together, we obtain the exact sequences
+0 - F0 - F - (-, (F ))|X - F1 - 0;
+0 - F2 - (F ) - F - F3 - 0,
+where F0, F1, F2 and F3 are in mod0-X . It is worth to note that in case X = mod-, where  is an artin algebra, the first exact
+sequence is exactly the fundamental exact sequence obtained by Auslander [Au1, Page 203].
+
+Remark 3.10. Let X1  X2 be contravariantly finite subcategories of mod-A that both contain projectives. Let F  mod-X1 and consider a projective presentation of F
+(-, X1) (--,d) (-, X0)-F - 0.
+
+Clearly we may write this presentation as
+
+HomA(-, X1)|X1 - HomA(-, X0)|X1 - F - 0. This allow us to extend F to X2 and consider it as an object of mod-X2 by setting
+
+F = Coker(HomA(-, X1)|X2 - HomA(-, X0)|X2 ).
+
+Hence we can define a functor  : mod-X1 - mod-X2 by (F ) = F . It can be checked easily
+
+that | : mod0-X1 - mod0-X2 is a functor and hence we have the following morphism of
+
+recollements
+

+
+CATEGORICAL RESOLUTIONS OF BOUNDED DERIVED CATEGORIES

+
+In some sense the upper recollement is a sub-recollement of the lower one. Therefore, we have a partial order on the recollements and Auslander in a sense has considered the maximum case X = mod-A.
+
+Remark 3.11. Let  be a self-injective artin algebra over a commutative artinian ring R. By combining Theorems 3.7 and 3.8, we plan to construct auto-equivalences of mod-. To this end, let X be a functorially finite subcategory of mod- containing inj- = prj-. By [AS, Theorem 2.3], X is a dualising R-variety. So we have the following commutative diagram

+
+4. Examples and applications
+In this section, we provide some examples as well as applications of the recollements introduced in the previous section. Throughout the section  is an artin algebra. Let X be a full subcategory of mod-. The set of isoclasses of indecomposable modules of X will be denoted by Ind-X . X is called of finite type if Ind-X is a finite set.  is called of finite representation type if mod- is of finite type. If X is of finite type then it admits a representation generator, i.e. there exists X  X such that X = add-X. It is known that add-X is a contravariantly finite subcategory of mod-. Set (X ) = End(X). Clearly (X ) is an artin algebra. It is known that the evaluation functor X : mod-X - mod-(X ) defined by X (F ) = F (X), for F  mod-X , is an equivalence of categories. It also induces an equivalence of categories mod-X and mod-(X ). Recall that (X ) = End(X)/P, where P is the ideal of (X ) including morphisms factoring through projective modules.
+The artin algebra (X ), resp. (X ), is called relative, resp. stable, Auslander algebra of  with respect to the subcategory X .
+
+We need the following result in this section. Let  : X  X be the canonical functor. It then induces an exact functor F : Mod-X  Mod-X . It is not hard to see that F in turn induces an equivalence between Mod-X and the full subcategory of Mod-X consisting of functors vanishing on Prj-A.
+Proposition 4.1. Let A be an abelian category with enough projective objects and X be a subcategory of A containing Prj-A. Then we have the following commutative diagram
+ModO -X F / ModO -X
+
+mo ?d-X F| / mod ? 0-X ,
+
+12
+
+JAVAD ASADOLLAHI, RASOOL HAFEZI AND MOHAMMAD H. KESHAVARZ
+
+such that the lower row is an equivalence and the others are inclusions. If furthermore X is contravariantly finite, then mod-X is an abelian category with enough projective objects.
+
+Proof. Pick F  mod-X . Clearly F(F ) vanishes on projective objects, so to show that F(F )  mod0-X , we just need to show that F(F )  mod-X . To this end, since F is an exact functor, it is enough to show that F(X (-, X))  mod-X , for any X  X . We let (-, X) denote the image of X (-, X) under F. Since A has enough projective objects, for X  X , there exists a short exact sequence
+0  (X)  P  X  0,
+where P is a projective object. Then, we get the following exact sequence
+
+0  (-, (X))|X  (-, P )  (-, X)  (-, X)  0
+in Mod-X . Hence, (-, X)  mod-X , since X contains Prj-A. On the other hand, let F  mod0-X and take a projective presentation (-, X1) (-,d) (-, X0)  F  0 of F . Since F  mod0-X , d : X1  X0 is surjective and hence we have the following commutative diagram
+
+(-, X1) (-,d) / (-, X0)
+
+/F
+
+/0
+
+ (-, X1)
+
+(-,d)
+
+/
+
+(-,
+
+ X0)
+
+ /F
+
+/ 0.
+
+Note that the two vertical natural transformations on the left attach to any morphism X  X1 and X  X0, its residue class modulo morphisms factoring through projective objects. As F is an equivalence of categories, there exists morphism d such that F(d) = (-, d). Set
+
+F  := Coker(X (-, X1) d X (-, X0))
+Then F(F ) = F , since F is an exact functor. The proof of this part is hence complete. It is now plain that mod-X is an abelian category.
+
+Note that in [MT] special subcategories X of an abelian category A, called quasi-resolving subcategories, have been studied with the property that mod-X is still an abelian category. X is called a quasi-resolving subcategory if it contains the projective objects and closed under finite direct sums and kernels of epimorphisms.
+
+4.1. Some examples. Now we are ready to investigate some examples.
+
+Example 4.1.1. Let X = add-X be a subcategory of mod- such that  is a summand of X. Hence X is a contravariantly finite subcategory of mod- containing prj-. So Theorem 3.7 applies to show, in view of Proposition 4.1, that the following recollement exists.
+
+X iX -1
+
+X 
+
+{ mod-(X )

+
+X -1 iX
+
+| / mod-(X )

+
+X -1
+
+/ mod-
+
+X i X -1
+
+X 
+
+It is routine to check that this recollement is equivalent to the one presented in [Ps, Example 2.10]. So in this case, we just give a functor category approach to the existence of this recollement.
+
+CATEGORICAL RESOLUTIONS OF BOUNDED DERIVED CATEGORIES

+
+Example 4.1.2. As a particular case of the above example, let  be of finite representation type. Then, in view of Proposition 4.1, we have the recollement

+
+
+
+i
+
+s / mod-(mod-)
+
+
+

+
+i
+
+
+
+/ mod-
+
+It is interesting to note that in this recollement Auslander algebra, stable Auslander algebra and the algebra itself are appeared.
+
+Example 4.1.3. Recall that a -module G is called Gorenstein projective if it is a syzygy of a Hom(-, Prj-)-exact exact complex
+� � �  P1P0P 0  P 1  � � � ,
+of projective modules. The class of Gorenstein projective modules is denoted by GPrj-. Dually one can define the class of Gorenstein injective modules GInj-. We set Gprj- = GPrj-  mod- and Ginj- = GInj-mod-.  is called virtually Gorenstein if (GPrj-) = (GInj-), where orthogonal is taken with respect to Ext1, see [BR]. It is proved by Beligiannis [Be, Proposition 4.7] that if  is a virtually Gorenstein algebra, then Gprj- is a contravariantly finite subcategory of mod-.
+
+Let  be a virtually Gorenstein algebra and set X = Gprj-. Hence Gprj- is contravariantly finite and obviously contains prj-. So Theorem 3.7 applies and again in view of Proposition 4.1, we get the following recollement
+
+i
+
+
+
+r mod-(Gprj-)
+
+i
+
+s / mod-(Gprj-)
+
+
+
+l
+
+k
+
+i
+
+
+
+/ mod-
+
+Recall that an algebra  is called of finite Cohen-Macaulay type, CM-finite for short, if Gprj- is of finite type. Assume that  is a CM-finite Gorenstein algebra. Then by [E, Corollary 3.5], (Gprj-) is a self-injective algebra and by [Be, Corollary 6.8(v)] (Gprj-) is of finite global dimension. Hence, in this case, we have a recollement including three types of algebras: selfinjective, finite global dimension and Gorenstein.
+
+Example 4.1.4. Let n  1. Roughly speaking a subcategory X of mod- is called n-cluster tilting if it is functorially finite and the pair (X , X ) forms a cotorsion pair with respect to Exti for 0 < i < n, see [I2, Definition 1.1] for the exact definition. Obviously, an n-cluster tilting subcategory X of mod- satisfies the conditions of Theorem 3.7 and so we have a recollement with respect to X . Note that this fact also has been announced by Yasuaki Ogawa in ICRA 2016, see the abstract book of ICRA 17th, page 34.
+
+Remark 4.1.5. Above examples show that for many different subcategories X of mod-, we
+
+have a relative Auslander's formula, i.e an equivalence
+
+mod-X mod0-X
+
+ mod-.
+
+At least with some
+
+extra assumptions on the algebra, we may guarantee that the functor category mod-X has similar
+
+nice homological properties as in Auslander's cases, i.e. X = mod-(mod-). For example, if we
+
+assume that  is a 1-Gorenstein algebra, then Gprj- is closed under submodules and hence
+
+mod-(Gprj-) has global dimension at most 2, like Auslander's result. Therefore, it seems worth
+
+to study this case more explicitly.

+
+4.2. Applications. Study of Morita equivalence of two algebras through the study of Morita equivalence of related algebras has some precedents in the literature, see e.g. [HT] and [KY]. As applications of the recollement of Theorem 3.7, we present two results in this direction. We precede them with a lemma, that is of independent interest, as it provides a description for functors in mod0-X .
+Lemma 4.2.1. Let X be a contravariantly finite subcategory of mod-A containing all finitely generated projective modules, where as usual A is a right coherent ring. Let F  mod-X . Then F  mod0-X if and only if (F, (-, M )|X ) = 0, for all M  mod-. Moreover Ext1(F, (-, M )|X ) = 0, for all F  mod0-X and all M  mod-.
+Proof. Let F  mod0-X and pick M  mod-. Consider epimorphism (-, X)  F  0. Let   (F, (-, M )|X ). Since F () = 0,  = 0. So clearly  = 0. This, in turn, implies that  = 0, because  is an epimorphism.
+Conversely, assume that (F, (-, M )|X ) = 0, for all M  mod-. By Remark 3.9, we have the exact sequence
+0 - F0 - F -F (-, (F ))|X - F1 - 0
+such that F0 and F1 are in mod0-X . By assumption F = 0. Therefore F = F0. The proof is hence complete.
+Now assume that F  mod0-X . We show that Ext1(F, (-, M )|X ) = 0 for all M  mod-. Consider a projective presentation
+(-, X1) (--,d) (-, X0) - F - 0
+of F , with X1 and X0 in X . Set K = Kerd. So we get the following exact sequence 0 - (-, K)|X - (-, X1) - (-, X0) - F - 0
+with (-, X1) and (-, X0) projectives. Hence, for M  Mod-, Ext1(F, (-, M )|X ) can be calculated by the deleted sequence
+0 - (-, K)|X - (-, X1) - (-, X0) - 0.
+Pick M  mod-A and apply the functor (-, (-, M )|X ) on this sequence to obtain the following sequence
+0 - ((-, X0), (-, M )|X ) - ((-, X1), (-, M )|X ) - ((-, K)|X , (-, M )|X ).
+So, to complete the proof, it is enough to show that this sequence is exact. This we do. Since by Lemma 3.5,  is full and faithful, we deduce that the vertical maps of the diagram
+
+0
+
+/ Hom(X0, M )
+
+/ Hom(X1, M )
+
+/ Hom(K, M )
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+0
+
+/ ((-, X0), (-, M )|X )
+
+/ ((-, X1), (-, M )|X )
+
+/ ((-, K)|X , (-, M )|X )
+
+are isomorphisms. On the other hand, since F  mod0-X , the sequence 0 - K - X1 - X0 - 0 is exact. So the left exactness of Hom(-, M ), implies the exactness of the upper row. Hence the lower row is exact and we get the result.
+
+Proposition 4.2.2. Let , resp. , be artin algebras. Let X  mod-, resp. X   mod-, be subcategories of finite type such that , D()  X , resp. , D()  X . Then  and  are
+
+CATEGORICAL RESOLUTIONS OF BOUNDED DERIVED CATEGORIES
+
+15
+
+Morita equivalent if (X ) and (X ) are Morita equivalent. In particular, in this situation (X ) and (X ) are also Morita equivalent.
+Proof. Since, X and X  are of finite type, they are contravariantly finite subcategories of mod- and mod-, respectively. Moreover, they both are containing projectives. So Theorem 3.7, applies. Assume that (X ) and (X ) are Morita equivalent and  : (X ) - (X ) denote the equivalence. Let  : mod-(X )  mod-(X ) denote the equivalence which of course is an exact functor. In view of the related recollements of X and X  obtained from Theorem 3.7, to get the proof, it suffices to prove that (F )  mod0-X , for each F  mod0-X and similarly for its quasi-inverse  = -1. By symmetry we just prove it for . Let F  mod0-X . By the above lemma, to show that (F )  mod0-X , we show that ((F ), (-, M )|X ) = 0, for all M   mod-. To do this, pick M  mod-. Since D()  X , there exists a monomorphism 0  M   I in mod- with I  inj-. So there is a monomorphism
+0  (-, M )|X  - (-, I)
+in mod-X . Note that (-, I) is in fact a projective object in mod-X , because D()  X . Since  preserves projective functors we get monomorphism 0  -1((-, M )|X ) --1() (-, X) in mod-X with X  X . Now for any   ((F ), (-, M )|X ), -1()-1()  (F, (-, X)) should be zero, since F  mod0-X , see Lemma 4.2.1. Hence  = 0. This implies that  = 0 since  is a monomorphism. It is now plain that (X ) and (X ) are also Morita equivalent. The proof is hence complete.
+
+It has been proved by Auslander [Au2] that for an arbitrary artin algebra  there exists
+
+an artin algebra  of finite global dimension and an idempotent  of  such that  = .
+
+Therefore, artin algebras of finite global dimension determine all artin algebras. To construct
+
+the algebra , let J be the radical of  and n be its nilpotency index. Set M :=
+
+1in
+
+ Ji
+
+,
+
+as right -module. Then  = End(M ). We throughout call  the A-algebra of , where `A'
+
+stands both for `Auslander' and also `Associated'.
+
+As a corollary of Proposition 4.2.2 we have the following result.
+
+Corollary 4.2.3. Let  and  be self-injective artin algebras. If their A-algebras  and  are Morita equivalent, then so are  and . In this case, stable A-algebras of  and  are also
+Morita equivalent.
+
+Proof. Let  = End(M ) = (add-M ) and  = End (M ) = (add-M ). Set X = add-M and X  = add-M . So mod-  mod-X and mod-  mod-X . Since for self-injective algebras the subcategories of projective and injective modules coincide and   X , resp.   X , we deduce that D()  X , resp. D()  X . Now the result follows immediately from the above
+proposition.
+
+Remark 4.2.4. Let F and F  be functors in mod-X . By Remark 3.9 there exists exact sequences
+0 - F0 - F - (-, (F ))|X - F1 - 0;
+0 - F0 - F  - (-, (F ))|X - F1 - 0; such that F0, F1, F0 and F1 are in mod0-X . Note that Lemma 4.2.1 allow us to follow similar argument as in the Proposition 3.4 of [Au1] and deduce that
+(F, (-, (F ))|X ) = ((-, (F ))|X , (-, (F ))|X ).
+
+16

+
+So for a morphism  : F  F  in mod-X , there exists a unique map  : (-, (F ))|X  (-, (F ))|X commuting the square

+
+
+

+5. Covariant functors
+Throughout this section, assume that X is a functorially finite subcategory of mod- containing projectives, where as before  is an artin algebra over a commutative artinian ring R. The aim of this section is to construct analogously a recollement involving the category of finitely presented covariant functors X -mod and the category of left -modules. To this end, we use the structure of injective objects in X -mod and follow the general argument as in the proof of Theorem 3.7, i.e. introduce three appropriate functors that are mutually adjoints and apply Remark 2.1. Since injectives of X -mod play a significant role in the functors appearing in this recollement, we study them in a subsection with some details.
+
+Set up. Throughout the section,  is an artin algebra and X is a functorially finite subcategory of mod- containing prj-.
+5.1. Injective finitely presented covariant functors. Let A be an arbitrary ring. Let (mod-A)-mod denote the subcategory of (mod-A)-Mod consisting of finitely presented covariant functors on mod-A.
+5.1.1. It is proved by Auslander [Au1, Lemma 6.1] that for a left A-module M , the covariant functor - A M is finitely presented if and only if M is a finitely presented left A-module. It is known that there is a full and faithful functor T : A-mod - (mod-A)-mod defined by the attachment M  (- A M )|mod-A. Gruson and Jensen [GJ, 5.5] showed that the category (mod-A)-mod has enough injective objects and injectives are exactly those functors isomorphic to a functor of the form - A M , for some left A-module M , see also [Pr, Proposition 2.27].
+Our aim in this subsection is to study inj-(X -mod).
+
+5.1.2. We begin by considering the functor t := tX : -mod - X -mod
+
+CATEGORICAL RESOLUTIONS OF BOUNDED DERIVED CATEGORIES
+
+17
+
+defined by the attachment M  (- A M )|X . It is easy to see that (-  M )|X  X -mod. The proof is similar to [Au1, Lemma 6.1]: one should apply the functorial isomorphism
+
+-  P  (Hom(P, ), -),
+where P  prj-, to the first two terms of the exact sequence -  n  -  m  M  0,
+that is induced from a projective presentation n  m  M  0 of M . Obviously t sends any morphism f : M  M  of left -modules to (-  f )|X .
+
+Lemma 5.1.3. The functor t defined above is full and faithful.
+
+Proof. By definition, it is plain that t is a faithful functor. To prove that it is full, consider a natural transformation  : (-  M )|X  (-  M )|X . There exists a morphism h : M  M 
+that commutes the following diagram
+
+M
+
+h
+
+/ M
+
+
+   M
+
+
+
+
+
+ /   M .
+
+Therefore  let X be an
+
+   h. This equality can be extended easily to n, that is, arbitrary right -module. Consider a projective presentation
+
+nn
+
+= 
+
+n  m 
+
+h. X
+
+Now 0
+
+of X. It follows from the following diagram

+
+
+n  M 
+
+/ m  M 
+
+/ X  M 
+
+/ 0.
+
+that X  X  h. So t(h) = . This completes the proof.
+5.1.4. By Remark 2.4, mod- and also X are dualising R-varieties. So duality D = HomR(-, E) induces the following commutative diagram
+
+mod-(mod-) - Dmod  / (mod-)-mod
+
+|X
+ mod-X
+
+|X
+
+DX
+
+ / X -mod
+
+where the rows are duality and columns are restrictions.
+Since Dmod- is a duality, it sends projective objects to the injective ones. Hence, in view of 5.1.1, we may deduce that for M  mod-, there exists a left -module M  such that Dmod-(Hom(-, M ))  -  M . M  is uniquely determined up to isomorphism, thanks to the faithfulness of the functor T .
+
+This isomorphism can be restricted to X , to induce the following isomorphism Dmod-(Hom(-, M ))|X  (-  M )|X .
+In case X  X , this can be written more simply as DX ((-, M ))  (-  M )|X .
+
+18
+
+JAVAD ASADOLLAHI, RASOOL HAFEZI AND MOHAMMAD H. KESHAVARZ
+
+Therefore, we have the following proposition.
+
+Proposition 5.1.5. Let  be an artin algebra and X be a functorially finite subcategory of mod- containing prj-. Then X -mod has enough injectives. Injective objects are those functors of the form (-  M )|X , where M  uniquely determined, up to isomorphism, by an object X in X .
+To have a better view on the injective covariant X -modules, let TX denote the subcategory of all left -modules M such that there exists X  X with D(-, X)  (-  M )|X . If we let X = mod-, then Gruson and Jensen's result stated in 5.1.1 imply that Tmod- = -mod. Moreover, it is easy to verify that Tprj- = -inj.
+We end this subsection by the following result, which is of independent interest.
+
+Proposition 5.1.6. Let X = Gprj- be the subcategory of Gorenstein projective -modules. Then TGprj- = -Ginj.
+
+Proof. Let P be a right -module. Consider the natural transformation (P,-) : -  D(P ) - DHom(-, P ), defined on a -module M by
+(P,M) : M  D(P )  DHom(M, P ), x  f  (  f ((x)))
+for x  M , f  D(P ) = Hom(P, E), and   Hom(M, P ). It is easily seen that (-,P ) is an equivalence if P is a finitely generated projective module. Now assume that G is a Gorenstein projective -module. So we have an exact sequence 0  G  P 0  P 1 with P 0 and P 1 projective. This in turn, induces the following commutative diagram
+
+-  D(P 1)
+
+/ -  D(P 0)
+
+/ -  D(G)
+
+/0
+
+(-,P 1 )

+
+
+DHom(-, P 1)
+
+/ DHom(-, P 0)
+
+/ DHom(-, G)
+
+/0
+
+in X -mod. But (-,P 1) and (-,P 0) are isomorphisms so is (-,G). This implies the result.
+
+5.2. Existence of Recollement. In this subsection, we will introduce two more functors  and v so that together with t defined in 5.1.2, we construct the desired recollement.
+
+5.2.1. Let us start by introducing  : -mod - X -mod. Pick a left -module M and consider an injective copresentation 0  M  I0 d I1 of it. By duality D = Hom(-, E(R/J)), there
+exist a morphism  : P1  P0 of projective right -modules such that D()  d. Hence we have the following commutative diagram
+
+0
+
+/M
+
+/ I0
+
+d
+
+/ I1
+
+
+
+
+
+ D(P0)

+D()
+
+/
+
+ D(P1).
+
+Define (M ) as
+
+(M ) = Ker((-  D(P0))|X (--d)|X (-  D(P1))|X ).
+
+Note that since X contains projective right -modules, the sequence
+
+0 - (M ) - (-  D(P0))|X (--d)|X (-  D(P1))|X .
+
+CATEGORICAL RESOLUTIONS OF BOUNDED DERIVED CATEGORIES
+
+19
+
+is an injective copresentation of (M ) in X -mod. The map  can be naturally defined on the morphisms, so we leave it to the readers.
+
+5.2.2. We define a functor v : X -mod - -mod as follows. Let F  X -mod. Consider injective copresentation
+0  G  (-  D(X0))|X -d (-  D(X1))|X of F . By Lemma 5.1.3, there exists a unique morphism f : D(X0)  D(X1) such that d = (-  f )|X . We define the functor v : X -mod  -mod by the attachment
+v(F ) := Ker(f : D(X0)  D(X1)).
+In a natural way, v can be defined on the morphisms.
+
+5.2.3. We denote by X -mod0 the subcategory of X -mod consisting of all functors that vanish on projective right -modules. By definition, it can be seen that X -mod0 is the kernel of the functor v defined in 5.2.2.
+Now we have enough ingredients to state the main theorem of this subsection.
+
+Theorem 5.2.4. Let X be a functorially finite subcategory of mod- consisting prj-. Then, there exists the recollement
+
+j
+
+t
+
+t X -modi 0
+
+j
+
+t / X -modi
+
+v
+
+/ -mod
+
+j
+
+
+
+of abelian categories.
+
+Proof. For the proof of the existence of the recollement, first it should be investigated that v is an exact functor, then verify that (t, v) and (v, ) are adjoint pairs and finally show that  is fully faithful. Since it is just a routine check similar to what is done for the proof of Theorem 3.7, we skip the proof.
+
+Two special cases are in order as the following two examples.
+
+Example 5.2.5. In the above theorem, set X = mod-. Then we have the following recollement
+
+r (mod-)-mod0
+k
+
+s / (mod-)-mod
+k
+
+/ -mod
+
+Example 5.2.6. If  is a Gorenstein algebra or more generally a virtually Gorenstein algebra,
+
+then Gprj- is a contravariantly finite subcategory of mod-. Moreover, since it is a resolving
+
+subcategory of mod- [Ho, Theorem 2.5], i.e. contains all projectives and is closed with respect
+
+to extensions and kernel of epimorphisms. Then by a result of Krause and Solberg [KS], Gprj-
+
+is also covariantly finite and hence is a functorially finite subcategory of mod-. Hence Theorem
+
+5.2.4 applies and so we have the following recollement
+
+s Gprj-mod0
+k
+
+t / Gprj-modj
+
+/ -mod
+
+Remark 5.2.7. Assume that  is a self-injective artin algebra and X is a functorially finite
+
+subcategory of mod- containing prj-. Then the recollement of Theorem 5.2.4 is the same as
+
+the recollement that is constructed in Theorem 3.8. To see this, just one should note that since
+
+ is self-injective, prj- = inj-.
+

+
+5.3. Dualities of the categories of right and left -modules. In this short subsection, associated to any functorially finite subcategory X  prj- of mod-, a duality will be constructed between the categories of right and left -modules, also in the stable level.
+Let D : mod-X - X -mod be the usual duality, that exists because X is a dualising R-variety. It follows from the definition that D can be restricted to a functor
+
+D|mod0-X : mod0-X - X -mod0.
+
+Therefore, by Theorems 3.7 and 5.2.4 we get the following commutative diagram of abelian
+
+categories
+
+0
+
+/ mod0-X
+
+/ mod-X
+
+/
+
+mod-X mod0 -X
+

+ / X -mod

+X -mod X -mod0
+
+/ 0.
+
+such that the horizontal maps are duality. Now we can define the duality DX with respect to the subcategory X as composition of the following functors
+
+mod- -- 1
+
+mod-X mod0-X
+
+-D
+
+X -mod X -mod0
+
+-v -mod,
+
+where  and v induced from the functors  and v introduced in Theorems 3.7 and 5.2.4, respectively.
+Now let P be a projective right -module. Then
+
+DX (P ) = vD -1(P ) = vD((-, P )|X ) = v(D(-, P )) = (-  D(P )) = D(P ).
+
+Hence right projective -modules project to the left injective -modules. Therefore the con-
+structed duality functor DX induces a duality between mod- and -mod. In particular, if X = prj-, then Dprj-, provides the usual duality between the stable cate-
+gories of right and left modules.
+
+6. Categorical resolutions of bounded derived categories
+In this section, we show that Db(mod-), the bounded derived category of , admits a categorical resolution, where  is an arbitrary artin algebra.
+We begin by the definition of a categorical resolution of the bounded derived category of an artin algebra. Although, the definition in literature is for arbitrary triangulated categories, in this paper we only concentrate on the bounded derived categories of artin algebras. We follow the definition presented by [Z, Definition 1.1], which is a combination of a definition due to Bondal and Orlov [BO] and also another one due to Kuznetsov [Ku, Definition 3.2], both as different attempts for providing a categorical translation of the notion of the resolutions of singularities.
+
+Convention. Throughout the section,  is an artin algebra and X is a contravariantly finite subcategory of mod- containing prj-. For a subcategory B of an abelian category A, C(B), resp. K(B), denote the category of complexes, resp. the homotopy category of complexes, over B. Their full subcategories consisting of bounded complexes will be denoted by Cb(B), resp. Kb(B).
+Definition 6.1. ([Z, Definition 1.1]) Let  be an artin algebra of infinite global dimension. A categorical resolution of Db(mod-), is a triple (Db(mod-), , ), where  is an artin

+
+X  Db(mod-), there exists a functorial isomorphism
+
+Db(mod-)((P), X) = Db(mod-)(P, (X));
+
+(iii) The unit  : 1Kb(prj-) -  is a natural isomorphism. Furthermore, a categorical resolution (Db(mod-), , ) of Db(mod-) is called weakly crepant if  is also a right adjoint to  on Kb(prj-).
+
+6.2. Definitions and Notations. Let  and X be as in our convention.
+(i) The exact functor  : mod-X - mod-, defined in Remark 3.2, can be extended naturally to Db(mod-X ) to induce a triangle functor
+
+Db : Db(mod-X ) - Db(mod-). It acts on objects, as well as roofs, terms by terms. Let us denote the kernel of Db by Db0(mod-X ). By definition, it consists of all complexes K such that Db(K)  0. Clearly Db0(mod-X ) is a thick subcategory of Db(mod-X ). The induced functor
+Db(mod-X )/Db0(mod-X ) - Db(mod-)
+
+will be denoted by Db.
+
+(ii) Let Kb-ac(mod-X ) denote the full subcategory of Kb(mod-X ) consisting of all complexes F such that F() : � � � - F i-1() -i-1 F i() -i F i+1() - � � � ,
+
+is an acyclic complex of abelian groups. Note that if F is a complex in Kb-ac(mod-X ), then F(P ) is acyclic, for all P  prj-. The Verdier quotient Kb(mod-X )/Kb-ac(mod-X ) will be denoted by Db(mod-X ).
+The following proposition has been proved in [AAHV, Proposition 3.1.7] in slightly different settings. For the convenient of the reader, we provide a sketch of proof with some modifications to compatible it with our settings in this section.
+
+Proposition 6.3. Let F  C(mod-X ) be a complex over mod-X . There exists an exact sequence
+
+0 - F0 - F - (-, Db(F))|X - F1 - 0, where F0 and F1 are complexes over mod0-X . Proof. Let F = (F, i). By Remark 3.9, for every i  Z, there is an exact sequence
+0 - F0i - F i - (-, (F i))|X - F1i - 0, such that F0i and F1i belong to mod0-X . In view of Remark 4.2.4, for every i  Z, there exists unique morphism (i) : (F i) - (F i+1) and hence unique morphisms 0i : F0i - F0i+1 and
+
+22

+

+
+/ (-, (F i+1))|X
+
+/ F1i+1
+
+/ 0.
+
+The uniqueness of 0i , 1i and (i) yield the existence of complexes F0, F1 and Db(F) that fits together to imply the result. For more details see the proof of Proposition 3.1.7 of [AAHV].
+
+Let Kbac(mod-X ) denote the full subcategory of Kb(mod-X ) consisting of all acyclic complexes. It is a thick triangulated subcategory of Kb-ac(mod-X ). Consider the Verdier quotient
+Kb-ac(mod-X )/Kbac(mod-X ). Clearly, this quotient is a triangulated subcategory of Db(mod-X ) = Kb(mod-X )/Kbac(mod-X ).
+Corollary 6.4. With the assumptions as in our convention, Db0 (mod-X )  Kb-ac(mod-X )/Kbac(mod-X ).
+Proof. Let F be a complex in Db(mod-X ). For the proof, it is enough to show that if Db(F) is an acyclic complex, then F  Kb-ac(mod-X ). But it follows from the exact sequence
+0 - F0 - F - (-, Db(F))|X - F1 - 0, of the above Proposition. The proof is hence complete.
+
+Let

+
+The composition
+
+ = Db : Db(mod-X ) - Db(mod-)
+
+attaches to any complex F the complex (F), where
+
+(F) : � � � - (F i-1) (-i-1) (F i) -(i) (F i+1) - � � � .
+
+Similarly,  sends a roof F o s H f / G to the roof
+
+(F) o (s) (H) (f) / (F) ,
+
+where for each morphism f in Kb(mod-X ), (f ) is the homotopy equivalence of a chain map in Cb(mod-) obtained by applying  terms by terms on a chain map in the homotopy equivalence class of f.
+Proposition 6.5. The functor  is an equivalence of triangulated categories. In particular, the functor Db is an equivalence of triangulated categories.
+
+CATEGORICAL RESOLUTIONS OF BOUNDED DERIVED CATEGORIES
+
+23
+
+Proof. It is obvious that  is an equivalence if and only if Db is so. This proves the second part. The proof of the first part, is just a modification of the proof of Proposition 3.1.9 of [AAHV] to our settings. So we leave it to the readers.
+
+Remark 6.6. The equivalence
+Db : Db(mod-X )/Db0 (mod-X ) - Db(mod-). is in fact a derived version of Auslander formula. This derived level formula has been proved by Krause [Kr1] for the case where X = mod-.
+
+To continue, we need an easy lemma.
+Lemma 6.7. Let  and X be as in our convention. Let P  Kb(prj-) and G  Kb(mod0-X ). Then
+Kb(mod-X )((-, P), G) = 0.
+Proof. Let P = (P i, Pi ) and G = (Gi, Gi ). By Yoneda lemma, for any i  Z, ((-, P i), Gi) = Gi(P i). But Gi(P i) = 0, because Gi  mod0-X . Hence, as we defined everything terms by terms, we deduce the results.
+
+Remark 6.8. Let F be a complex in C(mod-X ). By Proposition 6.3, there exists an exact sequence of complexes
+
+0 - F0 - F - (-, Db(F))|X - F1 - 0.
+
+such that F0 and F1 are complexes over mod0-X . This sequence can be divided to the following two short exact sequences of complexes
+
+0 - F0 - F - K - 0 and 0  K - (-, Db(F)) - F1 - 0.
+
+These two sequences, in turn, induce the following two triangles
+
+F0 - F - K
+
+and K - (-, Db(F)) - F1 ,
+
+in Db(mod-X ), where F0 and F1 are considered as objects of Db(mod0-X ). We use these triangles in our next propositions.
+
+Remark 6.9. The functor  : mod- - mod-X defined in 3.4, attaches to each projective -module P the projective functor (-, P ) in mod-X . Since  is an additive functor, it can be extended to Kb(prj-) to induce a functor
+Kb : Kb(prj-) - Kb(mod-X ).
+This functor maps a complex P  Kb(prj-) to the complex (-, P). So in fact, it is a functor from Kb(prj-) to Kb(prj-(mod-X )), that is, for every complex P  Kb(prj-), Kb (P) = (-, P) is a bounded complex of projective X -modules.
+
+Proposition 6.10. Let  and X be as above. Then for every complexes P  Kb(prj-) and F  Db(mod-X ), there exists an isomorphism
+Db(mod-X )(Kb (P), F) = Db(mod-)(P, Db(F)),
+of abelian groups. That is, Kb is left adjoint to Db on Kb(prj-).
+
+24
+
+JAVAD ASADOLLAHI, RASOOL HAFEZI AND MOHAMMAD H. KESHAVARZ
+
+Proof. Let F  Db(mod-X ). By Remark 6.8, there exists the following two triangles
+F0 - F - K , and K - (-, Db(F)) - F1 , where F0 and F1 are objects of Db(mod0-X ). Apply the functor Db(mod-X )(Kb (P), -) on these triangles, induce the following two long exact sequences of abelian groups
+(Kb (P), F0) - (Kb (P), F) - (Kb (P), K) - (Kb (P), F0[1])
+and
+(Kb (P), F1[-1]) - (Kb (P), K) - (Kb (P), (-, Db(F))) - (Kb (P), F1),
+respectively, where all Hom groups are taken in Db(mod-X ). But since P  Kb(prj-), Kb (P) = (-, P)  Kb(prj-(mod-X )) and hence some known abstract facts in triangulated categories, e.g. [W, Corollary 10.4.7], apply to guarantee that all these Hom sets can be also considered in Kb(mod-X ). This we do and so Lemma 6.7 now come to play to eventually establish the existence of the following isomorphism
+Kb(mod-X )(Kb (P), F) = Kb(mod-X )(Kb (P), (-, Db(F))),
+of abelian groups. Therefore, to complete the proof, it is enough to show that Kb(mod-X )(Kb (P), (-, Db(F))) = Kb(mod-)(P, Db(F)).
+This is a consequence of Yoneda lemma applying terms by terms in view of the fact that Kb(P) = (-, P). Note that since P is a bounded complex of projectives, by [W, Corollary 10.4.7], the Hom set (P, Db(F)) can be considered either in Kb(mod-X ) or in Db(mod-X ). The proof is now complete.
+
+Now we are in a position to state and prove the main theorem of this section. As it is mentioned in the introduction, it provides a generalization of a recent result due to Pu Zhang [Z, Theorem 4.1].
+
+Theorem 6.11. Let  be an artin algebra of infinite global dimension and  denote its A-algebra. Then (Db(mod-), Db, Kb ) is a categorical resolution of Db(mod-).
+
+Proof. Let n be the nilpotency index of . By definition,  = End(M ), where M =
+
+1in
+
+ Ji
+
+.
+
+It is known that  is of finite global dimension. In fact, it is a quasi-hereditary algebra
+
+[DR]. Set X := add-M . Then mod-X  mod-. By Propositions 6.5 and 6.10, the triple
+
+(Db(mod-), Db, Kb) satisfies the first two conditions of the Definition 6.1. So we only need to check condition (iii). This also trivially follows form the definition as DbKb(P) = Db((-, P)) = P.
+
+Towards the end of the paper, we show that if  is a self-injective artin algebra of infinite global dimension, then the triple (Db(mod-), Db, Kb ) introduced in the above theorem, provides a weakly crepant categorical resolution of Db(mod-). To do this, we need some preparations. Let us begin by a lemma.
+Lemma 6.12. Let  and X be as in our convention. Let I  inj-. Then the functor (-, I)|X is an injective object of mod-X .
+
+CATEGORICAL RESOLUTIONS OF BOUNDED DERIVED CATEGORIES
+
+25
+
+Proof. Since X is a contravariantly finite subcategory of mod-, there exists an exact sequence X1 -d1 X0 -d0 I - 0 of -modules such that d0 and d1 are right X -approximations of I and Kerd0, respectively. This guarantees the existence of the exact sequence
+
+(-, X1) (--,d1) (-, X0) (--,d0) (-, I)|X - 0
+
+in mod-X . Hence (-, I)|X is a finitely presented functor. To show that it is injective, pick a short exact sequence 0  F   F  F   0 of X -modules and apply the functor (-, (-, I)|X ) on it to get the sequence
+
+0 - (F , (-, I)|X ) - (F, (-, I)|X ) - (F , (-, I)|X ) - 0.
+
+Since by Proposition 3.6, (, ) is an adjoint pair, we have the following commutative diagram

+
+/ (F , (-, I)|X )
+
+/ (F, (-, I)|X )
+

+where the vertical arrows are isomorphisms. But, the lower row is exact, because I is an injective module and  is an exact functor by Lemma 3.3. Hence the upper row should be exact, that implies the result.
+
+Remark 6.13. Let  be a self-injective artin algebra. So prj- = inj-. Hence a complex P  Kb(prj-) is also a bounded complex of injectives. So by the above lemma, Kb(P) = (-, P) is a complex of injective X -modules. Therefore by [W, Corollary 10.4.7], all Hom sets with either P or Kb (P) in the second variants, can be calculated either in Db(mod-X ) or in Kb(mod-X ).
+Lemma 6.14. Let  and X be as in our convention. Then for every complexes G  Kb(mod0-X ) and M  Kb(mod-),
+Kb(mod-X )(G, (-, M)|X ) = 0.
+Proof. Let G = (Gi, Fi ) and M = (M i, M i ). Since, by Proposition 3.6, (, ) is an adjoint pair, for every i  Z, we have an isomorphism
+mod-X (G, (-, M)|X ) = mod-((G), M).
+Hence mod-X (G, (-, M)|X ) = 0, because G  mod0-X = Ker. This can be extended naturally, terms by terms, to bounded complexes to prove the lemma.
+
+Theorem 6.15. Let  be a self-injective artin algebra of infinite global dimension. Then the triple (Db(mod-), Db, Kb ) introduced in Theorem 6.11, is a weakly crepant categorical resolution of Db(mod-).
+
+Proof. We just should show that Kb is a right adjoint of Db on Kb(prj-). Pick F  Db(mod-X ) and P  Kb(prj-). Use Remark 6.8, to deduce the existence of the following two triangles
+F0 - F - K , and K - (-, Db(F)) - F1 , with F0 and F1 objects of Db(mod0-X ). Apply the functor Db(mod-X )(-, Kb (P)) on these triangles to get two exact sequences of abelian groups. Apply Remark 6.13, to deduce that we may also compute the Hom sets in Kb(mod0-X ). Now we should use Lemma 6.14, to conclude the following isomorphism
+Kb(mod-X )(F, Kb (P)) = Kb(mod-X )((-, Db(F)), Kb (P)).

+of abelian groups. The proof is hence complete.

+Spin Transport and Accumulation in a 2D Weyl Fermion System
+

+
+In this work, we study the spin Hall effect and Rashba-Edelstein effect of a 2D Weyl fermion
+
+system in the clean limit using the Kubo formalism. Spin transport is solely due to the spin-torque
+
+current in this strongly spin-orbit coupled (SOC) system, and chiral spin-flip scattering off non-SOC
+
+scalar impurities, with potential strength V and size a, gives rise to a skew-scattering mechanism
+
+for the spin Hall effect. The key result is that the resultant spin-Hall angle has a fixed sign, with
+
+SH  O
+
+V2 vF2 /a2
+
+(kF
+
+a)4
+
+being a strongly-dependent function of kF a, with kF and vF being the
+
+Fermi wave-vector and Fermi velocity respectively. This, therefore, allows for the possibility of
+
+tuning the SHE by adjusting the Fermi energy or impurity size.
+
+arXiv:1701.00074v3 [cond-mat.mes-hall] 18 Oct 2017
+
+The spin Hall effect (SHE) has a long and rich history,
+
+starting with the initial proposal of asymmetric Mott
+
+scattering by Dyakonov and Perel [1, 2]. This extrin-
+
+sic mechanism was re-introduced in 1999[3, 4], while an
+
+intrinsic SHE was first proposed in 2003[5, 6]. The pro-
+
+posal of a two-dimensional (2D) Z2-protected Quantum Spin Hall (QSH) state[7], and its successful prediction
+
+in HgTe/CdTe quantum well [8] quickly followed; thus
+
+giving rise to a new field of topological materials[9, 10],
+
+which now include 2D QSH states [11], 3D topological in-
+
+sulators (TI)[12, 13], topological Kondo insulators[14, 15]
+
+and Weyl semi-metals[16].
+
+One of the most striking characteristic of 3D TI ma-
+
+terials is the existence of spin-momentum locked chiral
+
+Weyl fermions on the surfaces, which are expected to
+
+provide highly efficient spin-charge conversion[17, 18], via
+
+the spin Hall effect or spin accumulation in the Rashba-
+
+Edelsten effect[19]. Hence, there is a strong interest
+
+in spintronic TI heterostructures, with many theoret-
+
+ical works[20�25], discussing a plethora of spin-charge
+
+phenomena, including magnetoresistance effects, inverse
+
+spin-galvanic effect, and spin-transfer torque, which have
+
+stimulated a flurry of experimental efforts[18, 26�30].
+
+In heavy-metal/ ferromagnet systems, e.g. FePt/Au,
+
+a giant spin Hall angle (SHA) of  0.1 has been
+
+reported[31], which has been interpreted as resonant
+
+skew-scattering off the Fe impurities[32]. However, re-
+
+cent experiments on TI heterostructures[26, 29] have reported values of tan SH > 100%, with combined sur-
+
+face and bulk contributions. In order to disentangle the
+
+surface Weyl fermion contribution from the bulk bands,
+
+a Cu-layer inserted TI/Cu/ferromagnet heterostructure has recently been engineered, with tan SH  50% [30].
+
+Similar to the anomalous Hall effect, there are both
+
+intrinsic Berry curvature and extrinsic scattering contri-
+
+butions to the SHE. For systems with weak spin-orbit
+
+coupling (SOC), it has been shown[33] that the extrinsic
+
+skew scattering mechanism dominates in the clean limit;
+
+hence, the spin Hall conductivity xzy scales with the lon-
+
+gitudinal conductivity yy, and the SHA, SH
+
+=
+
+xzy yy
+
+is
+
+a well-defined measure of the SHE. The Rasha-Edelstein
+
+effect is a closely related transport-driven spin accumula-
+
+tion phenomena, which also scales with yy in the clean limit; the spin accumulation Si = i E is proportional to the applied electric field E (along -direction) with a coefficient i . For the strongly SOC-coupled Weyl system considered here, the main results are that due
+
+to spin-momentum locking, chiral spin-flip scattering off
+
+non-magnetic
+
+impurities
+
+drives
+
+an
+
+O(
+
+1 ni
+
+)
+
+skew-scattering
+
+mechanism,
+
+and
+
+that
+
+Rashba-Edelstein
+
+is
+
+an
+
+O(
+
+1 t
+
+)
+
+ef-
+
+fect; here, ni is the impurity concentration and t is the
+
+transport scattering rate.
+
+We adopt the Kubo formula framework for
+
+calculating yy, xzy and yi , given by the retarded current-current correlation functions, yy =
+
+-lim0
+
+lim
+k0
+
+Im
+
+yy (k,)

+=

+-lim0

+k0
+
+I
+
+m
+
+yi (k,) 
+
+;
+
+where, yy(k, ),
+
+xzy(k, ), and yi (k, ) are the current-current, spin current-current and spin accumulation-current correla-
+tion functions respectively.
+
+In spin-orbit coupled systems, the proper definition
+
+of the spin current is more subtle as spin is not a
+
+conserved quantity. Ref. [34] presented a bulk con-
+
+served spin current that satisfies a continuity equation,

+
+Hence,
+
+the
+
+trans-
+
+port spin current is the sum of a spin-polarized and a
+
+spin-torque current, Jsi = jsi + Pi, succintly expressed as

+.
+
+As pointed out by several groups[35�37], there is no fi-
+
+nite conventional spin current for Weyl systems; hence,
+
+spin transport for Weyl fermions is solely due to the spin-
+
+torque density P coming from quantum-mechanical evolution of the electron spin.

+into the upper helical band, we obtain a chiral spin-flip scattering term, T S sin(k - k ), which comes from 3rd and higher orders in perturbation; T S  V0V12N0(EF )2, in agreement with previous work [37]. Hence, the skew
+scattering strength can be tuned by varying kF a, i.e. either the Fermi level or the impurity size a.

+A similar multipole expansion of Geff (k, ) has been done, and we show here only the main s and p-wave
+

+

+

+

+

+Note that yy and yi are equal up to a factor of evF for Weyl fermions due to spin-momentum locking, i.e. j^y = evF ^y. The spin torque current, Pxz, arises from the intrinsic quantum-mechanical evolution of the elec-

+FIG. 3: Feynman diagram for the effective scattering

+vertex,  (p, ), is shown in the second line. This includes an infinite subset of scattering events from the dilute concentration of impurities. The first line shows all the scattering events from a single impurity, and the second and third diagrams in the first line are the leading-order contributions to skew scattering.
+
+Here, k and im are the external momentum and fre-
+
+quency, and the uniform DC limit of the conductivities is
+
+obtained by analytic continuation of im   + i, and
+
+taking the limit k  0 followed by   0. Hence, we
+
+only need to calculate the on-shell component of the scat-
+
+y
+
+y
+
+tering vertex  (p, ) =  (p,  - i,  + i). The Bethe-
+

+by expanding  (p, ) =
+
+n ineini
+
+in
+y
+
+multipole
+
+terms, assuming that the T -matrix and  (p, ) vary
+
+slowly near EF (see SOM for details). Keeping only the
+y
+s- and p-wave channels, and evaluating  (|p| = kF ,  =
+
+EF ) at the Fermi surface, we obtain,

+
+After analytic continuation of the current-current correlation functions in Eq. (9a) - (9c), we find that the main contributions come from the 20 charge-transport and 3px spin-transport scattering vertices (refer to SOM for all

+
+a fixed positive sign, and is a strongly-dependent function
+
+of kF a; hence, the SHE can be tuned by EF .
+
+Finally, we briefly discuss the effects of band bending in
+
+Weyl
+
+systems.
+
+The
+
+leading
+
+O(

+
+with v =

+
+However, it has been pointed out[35�37]
+
+that jsz  y for Rashba-type systems; hence, up to
+
+O(

+

+
+band

+does

+not

+give

+
+for Weyl fermion systems.
+
+In conclusion, we have analysed both the spin Hall
+
+and Rashba-Edelstein effects in a 2D Weyl electron sys-
+
+tem. Our results show that strong spin-orbit coupling in the band-structure is sufficient to cause chiral spin-
+
+flip scattering of the helical electrons off non-SOC scalar
+
+impurities, resulting in a skew-scattering contribution to
+
+the SHE. The strength of this mechanism is measured by
+
+the
+
+SHA,

+, and
+
+we highlight the fact that the skew scattering strength
+
+can be tuned by varying kF a, thereby providing an
+
+experimentally-accessible parameter for controlling the
+
+SHE.
+
+In
+
+addition,
+
+we
+
+have
+
+also
+
+found
+
+an
+
+O(

+
+Rashba-

+
+Weyl fermions. We gratefully acknowledge I. Mertig, K.

+
+We consider elastic scattering near EF of 2D Weyl fermions (Dresselhaus-type vF k � 
+
+system) from a dilute (ni  1) random distribution of non-magnetic impurities, at positions

+
+and

+a determines the strength of skew scattering. Note that the results can be easily translated
+
+into the Rashba-type vF z^ � k �  case by rotating the momentum by 90. The chemical
+
+potential � is chosen to lie in the upper helical band, with the upper/ lower helical Weyl

+II. EFFECTIVE GREENS FUNCTION AND QUASI-PARTICLE SCATTERING RATE
+
+The retarded T -matrix calculated in Eq. 5 includes only scattering from a single impurity, and in the dilute impurity limit, the T -matrix for scattering from all impurities can be calculated in the non-crossing approximation NCA) [1]) by including scattering events from other impurities in the bare Greens function leg, i.e. replacing G0 by Geff , in the calculation of the T -matrix. Hence, this forms an implicit self-consistent solution for the retarded and advanced Geff function and T -matrix.

+
+We will now separate the SHE into two contributions, xzy(1) and xz(y2), coming from the
+
+conventional spin current and the spin torque current respectively. All the Matsubara cor-
+
+relation functions, yy(k, in), yi (k, in), xz(y1)(k, in) and xzy(2)(k, in), are given below,
+

+
+and analytic continuation (in   + i) will give the corresponding retarded correlation

+
+(21a) (21b) (21c) (21d)
+
+The correlation functions are written in the interaction representation, and U(, 0) is the
+
+S-matrix, which can be formally expanded as an infinite series of interacting terms involving
+
+Hint. Hence, the correlation functions are evaluated by expanding the S-matrix, and we show the expansion for xzy,(1)(k,  ) below.

+
+This corresponds to the Feynman diagram for the vertex correction from a single scattering event. Notice that only elastic scattering is considered here, as each scattering event does not change the energy of the electron; hence, all the Green's functions on the upper (and lower) legs of the bubble diagram have the same energy, e.g. in Eq. 23, G�1(p + k, i1 + in) and G�2(p + q, i1 + in) undergo a change of momentum and spin upon scattering off V�1�2(p + k, p + q), but do not exchange energy with the impurity.
+Since energy is conserved in the upper and lower legs of the bubble diagram, we can now include the effect of all the scattering events from a single impurity on the vertex correction
+
+8
+
+by replacing the scattering potential V�1�2(k, k) by the full T -matrix to obtain,

+
+Finally, scattering events from all the impurities can be included by defining a scattering

+vertex  (p+k, k, i1 +in, in), whereby an infinite subset of scattering events are included

+This infinite subset of ladder diagrams includes all the scattering corrections to the vertex

+by first doing the sum over the i1 frequencies using the standard method of integrating
+
+over the poles of nF (z) = (ez + 1)-1 in the complex z-plane. The poles of nF (z) are at

+
+,
+
+with
+
+residue
+

+
+,
+
+and
+
+the
+
+sum
+
+i1 is replaced by an integration over the
+
+complex plane,

+
+The integral over the complex z-plane will also pick up the branch cuts of the Green's function G(p, z) and G(p, z + in), which leads to branch cuts at z = vF |p| - � = (p) and z + in = vF |p| - � = (p), and the upper ( + i) and lower ( - i) paths along the branch cuts will give the following retarded and advanced contributions to the correlation function.

+IV. VERTEX CORRECTION
+
+For four fermion correlation functions, like the current-current and spin current-current
+
+correlation functions, we have to consider the effects of impurity scattering on the scattering
+
+vertex[2], in addition to the quasi-particle self-energy corrections. This arises from an infinite
+
+subset of Feynman ladder diagrams shown in the main paper, and is summed up in the Bethe
+y
+Salpeter equation for the scattering vertex  (k + p, p, i1 + in, in) (Eq. 34).
+
+y
+ (k
+
++
+

+
+q y
+� (k + q, q, i1 + in, in)Geff (q, in)T (q, p, in) (34)
+
+Here, k and i1 are the external momentum and frequency, and the DC uniform limit of
+
+the conductivities are obtained by analytic continuation of i1   + i, setting the limit
+
+k  0, and then setting   0, i.e. lim lim. Hence, we only need to calculate the on-shell
+
+0 y
+
+k0
+
+y
+
+component of the scattering vertex  (p, ) =  (p,  - i,  + i), which is defined by,
+
+y
+ (p,
+
+)
+

+(R)
+
+(A)
+
+Geff (p, ), T (p, q, ) and T (p, q, ) enter into the Bethe-Salpeter equation due to
+
+the branch cut in the complex plane, when the integral over the complex plane is car-
+
+ried out. Similar to the assumption for the T -matrix, the scattering vertex is assumed
+
+to be momentum-independent near EF , and we will do a similar multipole expansion of
+
+y
+ (|p| = kF , ,  = EF ) =
+
+n ineini, keeping only the l = 0 and l = 1 scattering chan-
+
+nels.

+
+Since the in coefficients are assumed to be invariant near kF , the dq-integral is carried out over all the spin and angular momentum resolved Green's function components, gmi,(R)(|p + q|, ) gnj,(A)(|p + q|, ). As the Weyl fermions are spin-momentum locked; hence, the spin i and momentum m indices are related, i.e. m = 0 for i = [0, 3], and m = �1 for
+
+i  [1, 2]. We can now define,
+
+ij() = kdk gi,(R)(|k|, )gj,(A)(|k|, )

+V. LONGITUDINAL CHARGE TRANSPORT AND SHE DC CONDUCTIVITIES
+
+We calculate the longitudinal charge conductivity, the Rashba-Edelstein effect, and the
+
+spin torque contribution to the SHE here. The retarded correlation functions for the spin-
+
+torque current contribution to the SHE (xzy,(2)(k, )), the Rashba-Edelstein effect (yi (k, )),
+
+and the charge current conductivity (yy(k, )) are shown below, and the DC conductivities
+
+are all given by first taking the limit of lim k  0, then taking the DC limit of lim   0,

+Abstract We answer a question of O. Kalenda and J. Spurny� from [8] and give an example of a completely regular hereditarily Baire space X and a Baire-one function f : X  [0, 1] which can not be extended to a Baire-one function on X.

+1. Introduction
+The classical Kuratowski's extension theorem [14, 35.VI] states that any map f : E  Y of the first Borel class to a Polish space Y can be extended to a map g : X  Y of the first Borel class if E is a G-subspace of a metrizable space X. Non-separable version of Kuratowski's theorem was proved by Hansell [4, Theorem 9], while abstract topological versions of Kuratowski's theorem were developed in [5, 8, 9].
+Recall that a map f : X  Y between topological spaces X and Y is said to be - Baire-one, f  B1(X, Y ), if it is a pointwise limit of a sequence of continuous maps fn : X  Y ; - functionally F-measurable or of the first functional Borel class, f  K1(X, Y ), if the preimage f -1(V ) of
+any open set V  Y is a union of a sequence of zero sets in X. Notice that every functionally F-measurable map belongs to the first Borel class for any X and Y ; the converse inclusion is true for perfectly normal X; moreover, for a topological space X and a metrizable separable connected and locally path-connected space Y we have the equality B1(X, Y ) = K1(X, Y ) (see [10]).
+Kalenda and Spurny� proved the following result [8, Theorem 13].
+Theorem A. Let E be a Lindel�of hereditarily Baire subset of a completely regular space X and f : E  R be a Baire-one function. Then there exists a Baire-one function g : X  R such that g = f on E.
+The simple example shows that the assumption that E is hereditarily Baire cannot be omitted: if A and B are disjoint dense subsets of E = Q  [0, 1] such that E = A  B and X = [0, 1] or X = E, then the characteristic function f = A : E  R can not be extended to a Baire-one function on X. In connection with this the following question was formulated in [8, Question 1].
+Question 1. Let X be a hereditarily Baire completely regular space and f a Baire-one function on X. Can f be extended to a Baire-one function on X?
+We answer the question of Kalenda and Spurny� in negative. We introduce a notion of functionally countably fragmented map (see definitions in Section 2) and prove that for a Baire-one function f : X  R on a completely regular space X the following conditions are equivalent: (i) f is functionally countably fragmented; (ii) f can be extended to a Baire-one function on X. In Section 3 we give an example of a completely regular hereditarily Baire (even scattered) space X and a Baire-one function f : X  [0, 1] which is not functionally countably fragmented and consequently can not be extended to a Baire-one function on X.
+2. Extension of countably fragmented functions
+Let X be a topological space and (Y, d) be a metric space. A map f : X  Y is called -fragmented for some  > 0 if for every closed nonempty set F  X there exists a nonempty relatively open set U  F such that diamf (U ) < . If f is -fragmented for every  > 0, then it is called fragmented.
+Let U = (U :   [0, ]) be a transfinite sequence of subsets of a topological space X. Following [6], we define U to be regular in X, if

+(b)  = U0  U1  U2  � � �  U = X;
+(c) U = < U for every limit ordinal   [0, ). Proposition 1. Let X be a topological space, (Y, d) be a metric space and  > 0. For a map f : X  Y the following conditions are equivalent:
+(1) f is -fragmented;
+(2) there exists a regular sequence U = (U :   [0, ]) in X such that diamf (U+1 \ U) <  for all   [0, ).
+Proof. (1)(2) is proved in [12, Proposition 3.1]. (2)(1). We fix a nonempty closed set F  X. Denote  = min{  [0, ] : F  U = }. Property (c) implies
+that  =  + 1 for some  < . Then the set U = U  F is open in F and diamf (U )  diamf (U+1 \ U) < .
+If a sequence U satisfies condition (2) of Proposition 1, then it is called -associated with f and is denoted by U(f ).
+We say that an -fragmented map f : X  Y is functionally -fragmented if U(f ) can be chosen such that every set U is functionally open in X. Further, f is functionally -countably fragmented if U(f ) can be chosen to be countable and f is functionally countably fragmented if f is functionally -countably fragmented for all  > 0.
+Evident connections between kinds of fragmentability and its analogs are gathered in the following diagram.

+
+Notice that none of the inverse implications is true.
+Remark 1. (a) If X is hereditarily Baire, then every Baire-one map f : X  (Y, d) is barely continuous (i.e., for every nonempty closed set F  X the restriction f |F has a point of continuity) and, hence, is fragmented (see [14, 31.X]).
+(b) If X is a paracompact space in which every closed set is G, then every fragmented map f : X  (Y, d) is Baire-one in the case either dimX = 0, or Y is a metric contractible locally path-connected space [11, 12].
+(c) Let X = R be endowed with the topology generated by the discrete metric d(x, y) = 1 if x = y, and d(x, y) = 0 if x = y. Then the identical map f : X  X is continuous, but is not countably fragmented.
+For a deeper discussion of properties and applications of fragmented maps and their analogs we refer the reader to [1, 2, 7, 13, 15].
+Proposition 2. Let X be a topological space, (Y, d) be a metric space,  > 0 and f : X  Y be a map. If one of the following conditions hold
+(1) Y is separable and f is continuous,
+(2) X is metrizable separable and f is fragmented,
+(3) X is compact and f  B1(X, Y ),
+then f is functionally countably fragmented.
+
+Proof. Fix  > 0.
+
+(1) Choose a covering (Bn : n  N) of Y by open balls of diameters < . Let U0 = , Un = f -1( kn Bk) for
+
+every n  N and U0 =
+
+ n=0
+
+Un.
+
+Then
+
+the
+
+sequence
+
+(U
+
+:
+
+
+
+
+
+[0, 0])
+
+is
+
+-associated
+
+with
+
+f.
+
+(2) Notice that any strictly increasing well-ordered chain of open sets in X is at most countable and every open
+
+set in X is functionally open.
+
+(3) By [12, Proposition 7.1] there exist a metrizable compact space Z, a continuous function  : X  Z and a
+
+function g  B1(Z, Y ) such that f = g  . Then g is functionally -countably fragmented by condition (2) of the
+
+theorem. It is easy to see that f is functionally -countably fragmented too.
+
+Lemma 3. Let X be a topological space, E  X and f  B1(E, R). If there exists a sequence of functions fn  B1(X, R) such that (fn) n=1 converges uniformly to f on E, then f can be extended to a function g  B1(X, R).
+
+Proof. Without loss of generality we may assume that f0(x) = 0 for all x  E and
+
+|fn(x)
+
+-
+
+fn-1(x)|
+
+
+
+1 2n-1
+
+for all n  N and x  E. Now we put
+
+gn(x) = max{min{(fn(x) - fn-1(x)), 2-n+1}, -2-n+1}
+
+and notice that gn  B1(X, R). Moreover, the series
+
+ n=1
+
+gn
+
+(x)
+
+is
+
+uniformly
+
+convergent
+
+on
+
+X
+
+for
+
+a
+
+function
+
+g  B1(X, R). Then g is the required extension of f .
+
+Recall that a subspace E of a topological space X is z-embedded in X if for any zero set F in E there exists a zero set H in X such that H  E = F ; C-embedded in X if any bounded continuous function f on E can be
+extended to a continuous function on X.
+
+Proposition 4. Let E be a z-embedded subspace of a completely regular space X and f : E  R be a functionally countably fragmented function. Then f can be extended to a functionally countably fragmented function g  B1(X, R).
+
+Proof. Let us observe that we may assume the space X to be compact. Indeed, E is z-embedded in X, since X
+
+is C-embedded in X [3, Theorem 3.6.1], and if we can extend f to a functionally countably fragmented function
+
+h  B1(X, R), then the restriction g = h|E is a functionally countably fragmented extension of f on X and
+
+g  B1(X, R).
+
+Fix n  N and consider
+
+1 n
+
+-associated
+
+with
+
+f
+
+sequence U
+
+= (U
+
+:   ).
+
+Without loss of the generality we
+
+can assume that all sets U+1 \ U are nonempty. Since E is z-embedded in X, one can choose a countable family
+
+V = (V :   ) of functionally open sets in X such that V  V for all     , V  E = U for every   
+
+and V = < V for every limit ordinal   . For every   [0, ) we take an arbitrary point y  f (U+1 \ U). Now for every x  X we put
+
+fn(x) =
+
+y, x  V+1 \ V, y0, x  X \ V.
+
+Observe that fn : X  R is functionally F-measurable, since the preimage f -1(W ) of any open set W  R is an
+at most countable union of functionally F-sets from the system {V+1 \ V :   [0, )}  {X \ V}. Therefore,
+fn  B1(X, R). It is easy to see that the sequence (fn) n=1 is uniformly convergent to f on E. Now it follows from Lemma 3
+that f can be extended to a function g  B1(X, R). According to Proposition 2 (3), g is functionally countably
+fragmented.
+
+Corollary 5. Every functionally countably fragmented function f : X  R defined on a topological space X belongs to the first Baire class.
+
+Proof.
+
+For every n  N we choose a
+
+1 n
+
+-associated
+
+with
+
+f
+
+family Un
+
+= (Un,
+
+:   n) of functionally open sets Un,
+
+and corresponding family (n, :   n) of continuous functions n, : X  [0, 1] such that Un, = -n,1((0, 1]).
+
+We consider the at most countable set  =  n=1{n, : 0    n} and the continuous mapping  : X  [0, 1],
+
+(x) = ((x)).
+
+Show that f (x) = f (y) for every x, y  X with (x) = (y). Let x, y  X with (x) = (y). For every n  N
+
+we choose n  n such that x  Un,n+1 \ Un,n . Then y  Un,n+1 \ Un,n and
+
+|f (x)
+
+-
+
+f (y)|
+
+
+
+diam(Un,n+1
+
+\
+
+Un,n )
+
+
+
+1 n
+
+for every n  N. Thus, f (x) = f (y).
+
+Now we consider the function g : (X)  R, g((x)) = f (x). Clearly, that every set (Un,) is open in the
+
+metrizable
+
+space
+
+(X ).
+
+Therefore,
+
+for
+
+every
+
+nN
+
+the
+
+family
+
+((Un,) : 
+
+ n)
+
+is
+
+1 n
+
+-associated
+
+with
+
+g.
+
+Thus,
+
+g
+
+is functionally countably fragmented. According to Proposition 4, g  B1((X), R). Therefore, f  B1(X, R).
+
+Combining Propositions 2 and 4 we obtain the following result.
+
+Theorem 6. Let X be a completely regular space. For a Baire-one function f : X  R the following conditions are equivalent:
+
+(1) f is functionally countably fragmented;
+
+(2) f can be extended to a Baire-one function on X.
+
+3. A Baire-one bounded function which is not countably fragmented
+Theorem 7. There exists a completely regular scattered (and hence hereditarily Baire) space X and a Baire-one function f : X  [0, 1] which can not be extended to a Baire-one function on X.
+
+Proof. Claim 1. Construction of X. Let Q = {rn : n  N}, rn = rm for all distinct n, m  N and
+
+{r2n-1 : n  N} = {r2n : n  N} = Q,
+
+
+
+
+
+A = {r2n-1} � [0, 1], B = {r2n} � [0, 1].
+
+n=1
+
+n=1
+
+We consider partitions A = (At : t  [0, 1]) and B = (Bt : t  [0, 1]) of the sets A and B into everywhere dense sets At and Bt, respectively, such that |At| = |Bt| = c. Moreover, let [0, 1] = <1 T with |T| = c for every  < 1. For every   [0, 1) we put
+
+Q =
+
+tT At,  is even, tT Bt,  is odd,
+
+Q=
+
+Q, X = Q � {} and X =
+
+X.
+
+<1
+
+<1
+
+Claim 2. Indexing of X. For every   [0, 1) we consider the set
+
+I = {(i)[,1) : |{ : i = 0}|  0}  [0, 1][,1) and notice that |I| = c. Let  : I  T be a bijection and
+
+X =
+
+X,j ,
+
+jI+1
+
+where
+
+X,j =
+
+A+1(j) � {}, B+1(j) � {},
+
+For all ,   [0, 1) with  >  and i  I we put
+
+ is even,  is odd,
+
+Ji, = {j  I : j|[,1) = i}.
+
+In particular, if  = ,  =  + 1 and i  I+1, then we denote the set Ji +1, simply by Ji . Notice that |Ji | = c and we may assume that
+X,i = {xj : j  Ji }.
+
+Then
+
+X = {xi : i  I},
+
+since I = iI+1 Ji .
+
+Claim 3. Topologization of X. For all   [1, 1), i  I and x = xi  X we put
+
+L 0,

+Proof of local stable manifold theorem, Step II: Owing to the changes in the operator u, [1, eqn. (119) - eqn. (125)] should be replaced by the following.
+Consider the unstable projection of y(t) for t > N~ ,

+
+(39)
+
+where the last inequality is due to corrected Lemma 8. Note
+
+uf (y( ))  f (y( ))  L+(L + ).
+
+(40)
+
+In view of eqn. (39)
+
+uy(t)  L+(L + ) K3(N~ , q, r~) + K5(N~ , q, r~, a)
+
+ L+(L + ) M5(N~ , q, r~, a)

+
+(41)
+
+Hence the proof for the step II follows. The rest of the proof of the theorem remains same.

+Learning Weighted Association Rules in Human
+Phenotype Ontology.
+Pietro Hiram Guzzi, Giuseppe Agapito, Marianna Milano, Mario Cannataro
+January 3, 2017
+Abstract The Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) is a structured repository of concepts (HPO Terms) that are associated to one or more diseases. The process of association is referred to as annotation. The relevance and the specificity of both HPO terms and annotations are evaluated by a measure defined as Information Content (IC). The analysis of annotated data is thus an important challenge for bioinformatics. There exist different approaches of analysis. From those, the use of Association Rules (AR) may provide useful knowledge, and it has been used in some applications, e.g. improving the quality of annotations. Nevertheless classical association rules algorithms do not take into account the source of annotation nor the importance yielding to the generation of candidate rules with low IC. This paper presents HPO-Miner (Human Phenotype Ontology-based Weighted Association Rules) a methodology for extracting Weighted Association Rules. HPO-Miner can extract relevant rules from a biological point of view. A case study on using of HPO-Miner on publicly available HPO annotation datasets is used to demonstrate the effectiveness of our methodology.

+
+1 Introduction
+In computer science, the term ontology defines a set of representational primitives with which to model a domain of knowledge or discourse [1]. In particular, ontologies are mainly used in bioinformatics and computational biology.
+For instance, the Gene Ontology aims to provide a common language to describe genes product [2]. More recently, the annotation efforts have also focused on the description of relation among molecular biology and disease, leading to the introduction of novel ontologies such as Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) [] and Disease Ontology (DO) [].
+HPO aims to provide a standardized vocabulary of phenotypic abnormalities encountered in human diseases. A generic HPO annotation contains a link between a disease and phenotypic abnormality. A disease is indexed by using a unified identifier known as Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM). OMIM is a comprehensive, authoritative compendium of human genes and genetic phenotypes that are freely available and updated daily [3]. The Disease Ontology (DO) has been developed as a standardized ontology for human disease with the purpose of providing strong and sustainable descriptions of human disease terms and phenotype characteristics [4].
+The amount of annotations available is steadily growing, raising new challenges to face, related to ambiguous or incomplete annotations and ontology terms [5]. The annotation task is becoming an even harder challenge in the genomic era, which is characterized by an unprecedented growth in the production of genes, gene products, and even other information. To speed-up the updating and maintenance processes of ontologies and annotations, it is required the development of computational approaches that guarantee a remarkable speed, on the current approaches of annotation carried out manually by the curators. The literature contains several computational methods developed to aid GO
+2
+
+curators to improve GO annotations consistency [6], [7], [8]. As opposed to GO, in literature, there are only a few automatic methodologies able to aid the HPO curators to improve annotation consistency and retrieve link between terms not explicitly related.
+As demonstrated in some recent works by Faria et al. [9], by Manda et al. [10], and by Agapito et al. [11, 12], association rules may be used to improve annotations consistency and highlight relationships among terms did not seem explicitly related. In this work, we present HPO-Miner an improvement of our previous works in which we introduced GO-WAR [12]. HPO-Miner is a tool for learning weighted association rules (WAR) to check annotation consistency and to identify hidden relationships between two phenotype abnormalities from HPO. Traditional association rule approaches are not able to distinguish between items; they are unaware of the relevance of terms yielding to the generation of rules with low specificity. The specificity of each term may be measured by the information content (IC) of a term [13]. The use of IC computed for each HPO term, is a measure of the specificity of a term, yielding to the IC-weighted annotation as conveyed in the following: OMIM100100: (HP:0000126, 11.18), (HP:0000144, 9.57). HPO-Miner is able to extract weighted association rules starting from an annotated dataset of diseases. The proposed approach is based on the following steps: (i) initially we rearrange the information for each OMIM term to get transactional data; (ii) then, we extract weighted association rules using a modified FP-Tree like algorithm able to deal with the dimension of classical biological datasets. We use publicly available HPO annotation data to demonstrate our method.
+The rest of the paper is structured as follows: Section 2 discusses HPO-Miner methodology and implementation, Section 4 presents results of the application of HPO-Miner on a biological dataset. Finally Section 5 concludes the paper.

+2 Materials and Methods
+2.1 The Human Phenotype Ontology
+HPO is a structured and controlled vocabulary with more than 10,000 terms able to describe the phenotypic abnormalities in human diseases. HPO provides annotations of more than 7,000 human hereditary syndromes and other phenotypic abnormalities that characterize the diseases, are also available at the website 1. HPO consists of three independent sub-ontologies: the mode of inheritance i.e. the way in which a specific hereditary attribute is transmitted from a generation to another, onset and clinical course i.e. in medicine refers to the first symptoms of a sickness and the medical treatments involved to cure them and finally, the phenotypic abnormalities i.e. the abnormal traits of a living organism that are possible to observe. As other ontologies, terms in HPO are organized in a directed acyclic graph (DAG). The relations among DAG's terms are modelled by means of is a and part of edges "relations", in order to distinguish between general or specific terms. Moreover, terms in HPO are arranged in a hierarchical way, where each path respects the true-path-rule. To each HPO class is assigned a stable and unique identifier (e.g. HP:0001629 ), a label and a list of synonyms, describing a well definite phenotypic abnormality i.e. "Ventricular Septal Defect " see Figure 1.
+Diseases are annotated with terms of the HPO, meaning that HPO terms are used to describe all the signs, symptoms, and other phenotypic manifestations that characterize the disease in question.
+The annotations of OMIM entries are a mixture of manual annotations performed by the HPO curators team and automated matching of the OMIM Clinical Synopsis to HPO term labels. In particular HPO is an ontology designed to provide qualitative information and not to capture quantitative information

+
+Figure 1: HPO graph Example
+such as body weight or height. Each diseases may be annotated to multiple HPO terms. Consequently the need of the introduction of methodologies and tools to support HPO curators to improve annotation consistency and the structure of the ontology arises.
+2.2 Association Rules
+Association Rule (AR) extraction is very popular in data mining, it is used for discovering associations in market basket analysis and unknown relations among features in databases. Historically, was proposed by Agrawal [14] to discovery associations to support marketing decision.
+Formally, the association rules extraction problem may be stated as follows: let I = {i1, i2, . . . , in} be a set of items and D = {t1, . . . , tm} a transactional database that contains a set of transactions, where a transaction tj is a subset of items belonging to I. An association rule is an implication of the form
+5
+
+A  B, where A and B are two disjoint sets. AR are based on two fundamental properties to define the relevance of the mined rules, Support and Confidence. The formal Support definition is:
+
+Definition
+
+2.1.
+
+S(A  B) =
+
+(AB) N
+
+Where N is the total number of transactions contained in D and  is called support count, namely, the number of transaction that contain a particular item. The Confidence is defined as:
+
+Definition
+
+2.2.
+
+C(A  B) =
+
+(AB) (A)
+
+.
+
+Where (A) is the number of transactions in D containing A and (A  B) is the number of transactions in D that contains both items A and B.
+
+A drawback with the use of classical AR approach is that it precludes the derivation of certain rules in which the items have a very different levels of support. In several areas do not make sense to assign equal importance to all items involved in the dataset. For example in the supermarket context, some items like computer, smartphone have much value than trivial items like ice-cream or butter. Rules involving smartphone or computer have less support than those involving butter or ice-cream but are much more significant in term of profit by the store. In the ontology context, the term HP:0000924 (An abnormality of the skeletal system) has a relevance value (IC value) lower than HP:0011803 (Bifid nose) although it is much more frequent. Rules involving the term HP:0000924 are less interesting (as it is a more general term) then rules involving the term HP:0011803 (as it is a more specific term) in terms of actionable knowledge.
+This limitation of classical AR approach can be overcome by introducing the weighted association rules (WAR). WAR models the significance of a term by means of a weight (). A weight () is a positive real number that reflect the
+6
+
+relevance of a HPO terms, for which high values represent very significant items as reported in [15, 16]. In our case, the relevance can be represented by using the information content (IC ).
+A generic HPO dataset is a list of OMIM identifiers annotated with multiple HPO terms, as conveyed in Figure 2.
+OMIM100050 HP 0000431 OMIM100050 HP 0000484 OMIM100050 HP 0000494 OMIM100100 HP 0000126 OMIM100100 HP 0000144
+Figure 2: An example of HPO dataset.
+In order to extract rules from the HPO dataset, it is necessary to convert it in a format more suitable to represent transaction data. The conversion consists in put together the same OMIM identifiers that became the transaction identifier while the HPO terms associated with the current OMIM identifier are the items of the transaction, as depicted in Figure 3.
+OMIM100050 {HP:0000431, 10.95}, {HP:0000484, 11.36}, {HP:0000494, 11.27} OMIM100100 {HP:0000126, 11.18}, {HP:0000144, 9.57} OMIM302801 {HP:0002167, 7.78}, {HP:0002311, 9.72} OMIM600175 {HP:0000006, 8.34}, {HP:0001252, 8.47}, {HP:0001265, 9.28}, {HP:0001284, 9.57}

+2.3 Weighting HPO term with Information Content
+Each HP term is associated to IC value. There exist different IC formulations that fall into two classes, intrinsic and extrinsic methods. Intrinsic method rely on the topology of the GO graph analyzing the positions of terms in a taxonomy. In this way the approaches define information content for each term. Different topological characteristics as ancestors, number of children, depth (see[13] for a
+7
+
+complete review) can used in order to estimate the Intrinsic IC calculus. Instead the extrinsic approaches involve annotation data for an considered corpus. In this work we used the intrinsic method proposed by Sanchez et al. [17], Harispe et al.[13], Resnick et al. [18], Seco et al. [19], Zhou et al. [20].
+The measure of Sanchez exploits only the number of leaves and the set of ancestors of a including itself, subsumers(a) and introduce the root node as the number of leaves max leaves in IC assessment. Leaves are more informative than concepts with many leaves, roots, so the leaves are suited to describe and to distinguish any concept.

+
+(1)
+
+Harispe et al., in oder to highlights the specificity of leaves according to their number of ancestors, consider leaves(a) = a concept when a is a root and evaluating max leaves as the number of inclusive ancestors of a node revising the IC assessment suggested by Sanchez et al.

+
+The formulation provided from Resnick et al. computes the IC of a concept evaluating all the top-downs path from a concept a to the reachable leaves, p(a), and then calculates the log yielding to the formula:
+
+ICResnik (a) = -log(p(a)).
+
+(3)
+
+Seco et al. calculate the IC of a concept by considering the ratio between the number of hyponyms in ontology, for example, the number of descendant
+

+
+with respect to the whole number of ontological concepts.

+
+In this formulation K is a factor which enables to weight the contribution of the two evaluated features.
+
+3 The HPO-Miner Algorithm
+In this section we briefly describe the HPO-Miner algorithm, developed to extract weighted association rules form HPO dataset.
+First of all we define the Weighted Item x, i.e. a weighted HPO item is obtained by multiplying the number of occurrences of item x by the value of its related value of IC (the weight ). We define as W eightedSupport, (S), obtained by integrating the classical formulation of the support of an item by its weight. The weighted Support S of a generic item xi is defined as: S(xi) = wi  (xi) where i is the information content of the i-th term and (xi) is the number of transaction containing xi. Let I = {i1 . . . im} be a set of weighted items (HPO terms) and let W D be a set of weighted transactions database, where each transaction tj is a sub-set of weighted items such that tj belongs to I. We defined the weighted minimum support (mS) as:
+
+Definition 3.1. mS =
+
+|W D| i=1
+
+(xi )i
+
+|W D|
+
+ p.
+
+9
+
+Where, |W D| is the cardinality of the weighted database nominally, the number of transactions into the dataset, p is a threshold value given in input by the user in order to define which items are significant in percentage. Thus only the items for which the following constraint S(I)  mS is verified, are significant and can be used as candidates to generate frequent item-sets and rules.
+Algorithm 1 is a summary of the main phases of theHPO-Miner algorithm. The first step of HPO-Miner algorithm is the loading of the input HPO dataset (D) and its transformation in weightedTable W T a data structure suitable to represent weighted transaction data (as reported in Algorithm 1 row 2). Concurrently to the loading and conversion phase, are evaluated the occurrences of each HPO term in D. Subsequently is possible to obtain a list of frequent weighted items (as stated in Algorithm 1 at row 3). We remove from the F W ItemsList the weighted items for which is not verified the following condition: S(I)  mS. Frequent weighted items are hence used to build a data structure based on F P - T ree. Finally, HPO-Miner iteratively analyzes the F P - T ree in order to mine and save significant rules.

+4 Results
+HPO database is freely available online 2, the size of the dataset is about 4.4 MB on disk. After collecting data, by using all the methods introduced in Section 2, we produced 5 different datasets. We tested HPO-Miner using several combinations of values for weightedSupport and confidence. Then we selected the values for the parameters able to ensure the best results in terms of reduced number of mined rules and in the same time with relevant values of weightedSupport and confidence. The best combination of values was weightedSupport equal to 50% and confidence greater than 80%. We chose the first top 10 rules from each dataset, and we manually analyzed the literature to find claims that can prove the validity of the mined rules.
+4.1 HPO-Miner rules extraction comparison
+The effectiveness of HPO-Miner is proved comparing our tool with respect to other well known tools such as: Knime [21] and Weka [22]. We chose these tools because both provides an implementation of the FP-Growth algorithm a necessary condition in order to fairly compare HPO-Miner with both tools. The FP-Growth algorithm implementation in Weka and Knime, is able to handle only binary attributes, making both tools unable to analyze weighted HPO datasets enriched with IC values. A possible way to make weighted HPO enriched dataset compatible with Weka and Knime is to leave for each OMIM entry only two HPO terms, making this solution infeasible because leads to lose a lot of useful information. Differently, HPO-Miner is the only tool that comes with a version of FP-Growth able to handle a generic number of attribute for each OMIM entry, making it suitable to analyze HPO dataset enriched with IC values.

Searching the literature we found some evidences that describe the relationship between this two terms. As stated in [23] both terms could be related with defects in the biological mechanisms of the liver. In particular, Autosomal recessive inheritance suggests a biochemical defect that might cause a metabolic disorder in the liver while, Giant cell hepatitis is responsible of "thick bile syndrome" in neonatal.

+Rule (2R) (HP:0200084, HP:0002910) i.e., (Giant cell hepatitis, Elevated hepatic transaminases) consists of two terms involved in the hepatitis process. Analyzing in depth the literature it revealed the following links between the two terms. In [24] is presented a study on three siblings with neonatal jaundice who died before the age of three months. They were shown on autopsy to be suffering from Niemann-Pick disease together with a giant cell transformation of the liver. Clayton et. al. in [25] including the infant studied in [26] were able to inferrer, that due to the elevated transaminases most patients develop hepatic
+
+13
+
+fibrosis or cirrhosis due to the presence of Giant cell hepatitis. Thus, manually analyzing this rule has been possible to infer that both terms are responsible of the liver disorder in infants and adults.
+Rule (3R) involves the following two HPO terms (HP:0200067, HP:0000006) i.e.,Recurrent spontaneous abortion and Autosomal dominant inheritance. There is a growing literature on the importance of Autosomal dominant inheritance in pregnancy complications as reported in [27]. As stated in [28] Thrombophilia is a cause of maternal mortality due to certain inherited thrombophilic factors that activated protein C resistance. In [29] the authors point out the rare familial disorders that are usually inherited as Autosomal dominant inheritance.
+Rule (4R) (HP:0100818, HP:0000774) composed by the following phenotypic abnormalities Long thorax, Narrow chest involved in the syndrome of Jeune and Ellis-Van Creveld syndrome as reported in literature in [30, 31]. Browsing HPO Ontology with its on line browser did not reveal any information that allows the user to associate both abnormalities with the syndrome of Juene and Ellis-Van Creveld. This may suggest to the curator to restructure ontology in order to make easily available this knowledge in order to clarify these associations.
+Rule (5R) (HP:0100775, HP:0001537) whose translation is Dural ectasia, Umbilical hernia at first glance seems that there not exists a connection among the two terms. Analyzing the literature we found the work of Mizuguchi et.al. [32] and Chen et. al., [33]. In Mizuguchi et.al. have been found both abnormalities in a patient affected by the Marfan syndrome in infancy, instead Chen et. al. have found these abnormalities in patients affected by Lateral meningocele syndrome. These knowledge it is not readily available for the users by using HPO, consequently this may suggest to the curator to add this further knowledge into the HPO.
+Rule (6R) (HP:0012023, HP:0000007) define an association between the
+14
+
+Galactosuria and Autosomal recessive inheritance. Analyzing the literature looking for evidence on the validity of the association we found the works of Pickering et. al., [34] and Monteleone et. al. [35], in which in both works, the authors stated that hereditary galactokinase deficiency is characterized by galactosuria. In particular, in this study support the autosomal recessive inheritance of this disorder. This evidence support the validity of the current association found it by using HPO-Miner.
+To verify the reliability of Rule (7R) (HP:0100775,HP:0000494) i.e. (Dural ectasia, Downslanted palpebral fissures) and Rule (8R) (HP:0100775, HP:0000316) i.e., Dural ectasia, Hypertelorism, we analyzed the literature founding that the terms of both rules are symptoms involved in the Marfan syndrome as stated in [36, 37]. Consequently these association rules may suggest to the curator to add new informative links among HPO terms, making easier for the users to obtain further knowledge.
+Rule (9R) (HP:0100626, HP:0001394) refers to Chronic hepatic failure and Cirrhosis. Analyzing the literature showed that both terms are involved in fat elimination as stated in the work of Druml et. al. [38]. This evidence may be suggest to the curator to make this explicit knowledge in implicit, by adding new links among the HPO terms.
+(10R) (HP:0100626, HP:0000007) Chronic hepatic failure, Autosomal recessive inheritance
+Here we discuss the rules contained in Table 2 that refer to the rules mined by HPO-Miner from the Sanchez dataset.
+Rule (1S) (HP:010081, HP:0000774) i.e., (Long thorax, Narrow chest ) consists in two terms involved in the Asphyxiating Thoracic Dysplasia (Jeune Syndrome).Jeune syndrome is a congenital disorder with abnormalities of which thoracic hypoplasia is the most prominent. The literature confirms that both
+15
+
+phenotype, long thorax and narrow chest are manifestations of Jeune syndrome. In [39] is reported this evidence.
+Rule (2S) (HP:0030034, HP:0003774) associates withDiffuse glomerular basement membrane lamellation, Stage 5 chronic kidney disease. Searching in the current literature the glomerular basement membrane lamellation is a manifestation in patients after transplantation of kidneys from pediatric cadaveric donors, as [40] reported. There is not evidence that this phenotype is related to the Stage 5 chronic kidney disease.
+About the Rule (3S) (HP:0012743, HP:0001773), Abdominal obesity, Short foot we didn't find a correlation among Abdominal obesity(term 1) and Short foot (term 2) despite a depth research in literature was conducted .
+Rule (4S) (HP:0012263, HP:0000007) and Rule (5S) (HP:0012023, HP:0000007), associate two pathologic phenotypes, Immotile cilia and (Galactosuria to Autosomal recessive inheritance). In fact, in [41] is reported that the immotile cilia syndrome seems to be that of an autosomal recessive disease; as well as galactosuria due to galactokinase deficiency in a newborn is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner [34].
+HPO-MINER finds the Rule (6S) (HP:0011727, HP:0009049) that associates(Peroneal muscle weakness with Peroneal muscle atrophy).In fact the peroneal muscle atrophy is characterized by wasting and flaccid weakness of the intrinsic muscles of the feet and of the muscles innervated by the peroneal nerve [42].
+Rule (7S) (HP:0010636, HP:0000316) relates (Schizencephaly, Hypertelorism) involved in the same disease, the LEOPARD syndrome. A case study [43] reported patient affect by this disease with open-lip schizencephaly and Ocular hypertelorism pathologic phenotype.
+Instead Rule (8S) (HP:0009793, HP:0000316), highlights a link among Hy-

+In [45] is discussed a Hereditary Congenital Posterior Dislocation of Radial Heads which disorder is characterized by The association of nailpatella syndrome with typical antecubital pterygium as HPO-MINER found in Rule (9S) (HP:0009760, HP:0006443),
+Rule (10S) (HP:0008845, HP:0003067), composed by (Mesomelic short stature, Madelung deformity). Both phenotype are involved in Madelung deformity of childhood [46]
+Here we analyze the rules contained in Table 4. Rule (1Se) (HP:0200084, HP:0000007) associates Giant cell hepatitisand Autosomal recessive inheritance. This evidence is highlighted in a case study reported a patient suffered from a unique form of giant cell hepatitis which condition appears to be an autosomal recessive one[47] Rule (2Se) (HP:0100818, HP:0000774) Long thorax, Narrow chest is discussed above. About the Rule (3Se) (HP:0100775, HP:0001537) i.e. Dural ectasia, humbilical hernia HPO-MINER find a association that is not confirmed in literature. The Rule (4Se) (HP:0100775, HP:0000494) and the Rule (5Se) (HP:0100775, HP:0000316) associate the phenotypeDural ectasia withDownslanted palpebral fissures and Hypertelorism. Carrying out a analysis in the state of art, we found a clinical case which report a patient with lateral meningocele syndrome (LMS) affected by both down slanting palpebral fissures and hyperteloris [33]. About the Rule (6Se) (HP:0100626, HP:0000007) associates Chronic hepatic failure to characteristic Autosomal recessive inheritance [48] In the Rule (7Se) (HP:0030050, HP:0002524) are connected two pathologic phenotype Narcolepsy and Cataplexy that are known as a sleep disorder associ-

+intramyocellular lipid droplets is Autosomal recessive inheritance. The Rule (9Se) (HP:0010780, HP:0007018) associates the symptom Hyper-
+acusis to Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) as reported in[50] Instead the Rule (10Se) (HP:0000179, HP:0010780) i.eShort 3rd metacarpal,
+Hyperacusis has not evidence in literature. Here we interpret the rule mined by HPO-Miner from the dataset Harispe
+and contained in Table 3. Rule (1H) is composed of terms (HP:0009577, HP:0004220) i.e., (Short mid-
+dle phalanx of the 2nd finger, Short middle phalanx of the 5th finger). Analyzing the literature, we found that this abnormalities have been observed in the Adams-Oliver Syndrome as reported in the work of Kuster et.al. [51].
+Rule (2H) contains the terms (HP:0010105, HP:0010034) i.e., Short first metatarsal, Short 1st metacarpal
+Rule (3H) (HP:0000933,HP:0001305) i.e., Posterior fossa cyst at the fourth ventricle Dandy-Walker malformation involved in abnormality that affects brain development.
+Analyzing the literature has not been possible found any evidence on the involvement of the (HP:0004704, HP:0004689) i.e., Short fifth metatarsal, Short fourth metatarsalRule, contained in the rule (4H) found by HPO-Miner.
+Rule (5H) is formed by the two terms (HP:0001885, HP:0004209) i.e., Short 2nd toe, Clinodactyly of the 5th finger. Searching into the literature we found that both symptoms occurred in Carpenter Syndromeas states in the work of Gershoni et.al., [52].
+Rule (6H) involves the following two HPO terms (HP:0003065, HP:0006443) i.e., Patellar hypoplasia, Patellar aplasia. The work of Kaariainen et. al. [53]

+ger, Clinodactyly of the 5th finger consists of two terms involved in the KBG syndrome as reported in the work of Sirmaci et. al. [54].
+Rule (8H) is composed of (HP:0002834, HP:0002857) i.e., Flared femoral metaphysis, Genu valgum. Both symptom are observed in the metatropic dwarfism as described into the work of LaRose et. al. [55].
+The terms contained into the rule (9H) HP:0004209, HP:0000272 i.e., Clinodactyly of the 5th finger, Malar flattening are involved in 49,XXXXY syndrome as stated in the work of Peet et. al. [56].
+About Rules (10H) (HP:0001773, HP:0004279) i.e. Short foot, Short palm we didn't find any correlation between the terms, despite a depth research in literature it was conducted.
+19
+
+Here we analyze the rules contained in Table 5. The first rule Rule (1Z) (HP:0002335, HP:0001305) associates the Congenital absence of the vermis of cerebellum with Dandy Walker malformation. This evidence is confirmed in [57], that reported a cases of Dandy-Walker malformation including agenesis cerebellar vermis. HPO-MINER extracts the Rule (2Z) (HP:0003031, HP:0002986) i.eBending of the diaphysis (shaft) of the ulna (Ulnar bowing) A bending or abnormal curvature of the radius (Radial bowing) and the Rule (3Z) (HP:0000176, HP:0000193), i.e.submucous clefts Hard-palate Bifid uvula. Although we conducted a deep analysis of stare of art, these rules are not confirmed in literature. The Rule (4Z) (HP0001338 HP0002007) and the Rule (5Z) (HP0001338 HP0000494) associate the Partial agenesis of the corpus callosum to two abnormal phenotype: Frontal Bossing and Downslated palpebral fissures as confirmed in [58] and[59]. HPO-MINER finds the Rule (6Z) (HP:0000308, HP:0001305), Rule (8Z) (HP:0010804, HP:0001305), Rule (9Z) (HP:0009623, HP:0001305) that associate the phenotypesMicroretrognathia Tented upper lip vermilion in, Proximal placement of the thumb toDandy Walker malformation. Unfortunately we didn't find this evidences in literature. About Rule (7Z) (HP:0000269, HP:0001305) and the Rule (10Z) (HP:0000567, HP:0001305) Prominent occiput (HP:0010636 term) and the Chorioretinal coloboma (HP:0000567) are the abnormalities related to the Dandy Walker malformation as reported in [60] and [61].
+5 Conclusion
+We presented a new methodology based on weighted association rule for HPO data analysis that takes into account the relevance of terms; the relevance is a
+20
+
+weight assigned to a term based on, for example, its specificity to describe a phenotypic abnormality. The relevance of a HPO term, is obtained by computing the IC value related with each term. We presented the outline of an algorithm called HPO-Miner to mine weighted itemsets that have sufficient weighted supports. These itemsets are used in turn to generate association rules that have high weighted support. Finally, the relevance of the mined rules by HPO-Miner, is proved by the evidences found analyzing the literature.

+
+1. Introduction
+
+In the paper, we consider a finite Radon measure � = (�1, . . . , �m) defined on Rd satisfying the system of partial differential equation
+
+A� = (A�) = 0,
+
+(1)
+
+I
+
+where I = I1 � I2 � � � � � In  { = (1, . . . , d) : s  N  {0}, s = 1, . . . , d}n is a set of multi-indexes,  = x11 x22 . . . xdd , and A : Rd  M n�m are smooth mappings from Rd into the space of real n � m matrices. Written coordinate-wise, we actually have the following system of equations
+
+m
+
+Aj� =
+
+(ajk�k) = 0, j = 1, . . . , n,
+
+(2)
+
+Ij k=1
+
+where Ij  { = (1, . . . , d) : s  N  {0}, s = 1, . . . , d}. Denote by Aj, j = 1, . . . , n, the principal symbol of the operator Aj given by
+
+m
+
+Aj(x, ) =
+
+ajk(x)(2i), Ij  Ij .
+
+(3)
+
+Ij k=1
+
+The sum given above is taken over all terms from (2) whose order of derivative  is not dominated by any other multi-index from Ij . As usual,  = 11 . . . dd for  = (1, . . . , d), and || = 1 + � � � + d.
+

+
+For instance, for the (scalar) = I1 = {(1, 0), (0, 2)}.

+
+the

+singular
+
+part
+
+�s
+
+of the measure � = �a + �s where the latter is the Lebesgue decomposition of the measure �. The problem
+
+is initiated in [1] where it is conjectured that for the k-th order operator A, the function f must take values
+
+in the wave cone A = ||=1KerAk() where Ak() is the sum of all symbols of order k (see [3] for details).

+
+D. MITROVIC
+
+The problem is resolved in [3] where one can find thorough information on this issue concerning history and applications (in particular in the calculus of variations and geometric measure theory).
+
+Here, we shall improve the result from [3] by describing behavior of �s on more general manifolds. Moreover, we prove a stronger statement in the sense that the support of f is actually not in the union of kernels but in their intersection (of course, if we assume that �s is uniformly singular; see Definition 1).
+To this end, for every of the principal symbols Aj, j = 1, . . . , n, we assume that there exists a multi-index j = (1j , � � � , dj )  Ij  Nd+ such that for any positive   R the following homogeneity assumption holds
+
+Aj (x, 1j 1, . . . , dj d) = Aj (x, ),
+
+(4)
+
+implying that
+
+d
+
+kkj = 1 for every  = (1, . . . , d)  Ij .
+
+(5)
+
+k=1
+
+We then introduce the homogeneity manifolds:
+
+Pj = {  Rd : |1|1/1j + � � � + |d|1/dj = 1}
+
+and the corresponding projections
+
+
+
+
+
+j
+
+()
+
+=
+
+ 
+
+
+
+1 |1|1/1j + � � � + |d|1/dj
+
+1j , . . . ,
+
+d |1|1/1j + � � � + |d|1/dj
+
+dj
+
+, 
+
+  Rd.
+
+In the case of the operator A = x1 + x2 + x22, the corresponding symbol is A(1, 2) = -i(1 + 2) + 22, the principal symbol is A(1, 2) = -i1 + 22, and  = (1, 1/2).
+Finally, we need a condition on the singular part of the measure � which we call the uniform singularity condition. Roughly speaking, we require that �s is singular with respect to every of the variables. For instance, such a condition is not fulfilled by the measure (x1)dx2 since it is not singular with respect to x2.
+
+Definition 1. We say that the measure �s is uniformly singular if for �s-almost every x  Rd there exist
+
+real
+
+positive
+
+functions
+
+(), (),
+
+
+
+
+
+R,
+
+satisfying
+
+() 
+
+
+
+0,
+
+ ()
+
+
+
+0,
+
+and
+
+a
+
+family
+
+of
+
+sets
+
+E
+
+
+
+B(x, ())
+
+such
+
+that
+
+lim
+0
+
+�s (B (x, ())\E ) |�s |(E )
+
+=
+
+0.
+
+For instance, it is clear that the measure (x1)(x2) satisfies the latter condition. We have the following theorem.
+
+Theorem 2. Let � be a solution to (1) and let � = h(x)dx + �s be the Lebesgue decomposition of the
+
+measure �. Assume that the measure �s is uniformly singular in the sense of Definition 1. Denote by
+
+f = (f1, . . . , fm)  L1|�s|(Rd; Rm) the Radon-Nykodim derivatives of �s with respect to its total variation
+
+measure
+
+|�s|:
+
+f
+
+=
+
+d�s d|�s
+
+|
+
+.
+
+It
+
+holds
+
+for
+
+|�s|-almost
+
+every
+
+x
+
+ Rd:
+
+m
+
+ajk(x)(2 i)fk(x) = 0, Hd-1 - a.e.   Pj, j = 1, . . . , m.
+
+(6)
+
+Ij k=1
+
+3
+
+Remark that each equation of system (2) defines different homogeneity manifold. If all the manifolds Pj, j = 1, . . . , n, would be the same, say P , and we have the same set of dominating multi-indices I = Ij , j = 1, . . . , n, for then, denoting  = j, j = 1, . . . , n, we could rewrite (6) in the form
+(2 i)A(x)f (x) = 0 Hd-1 - a.e.   Pj , j = 1, . . . , m,
+I 
+for appropriate matrices A,   I. From here, we see that in the latter case, the statement of the theorem is actually
+
+f (x)  P Ker
+
+(2 i)A(x) for �s a.e. x  Rd.
+
+(7)
+
+I 
+
+We remark that in [3], a constant coefficients operator A of order k  N is considered and it was proved that (7) holds with the union  (instead of ) for || = k (instead of   I) with || = 1 (instead of   Pj,
+j = 1, . . . , m).
+
+We will dedicate the last section to the proof of the theorem. In the next section, we shall prove it in the case of first order constant coefficients operator and the scalar measure which captures all the elements of the general situation. The proof is based on the blow up method [7] and appropriate usage of Fourier multiplier operators (as in deriving appropriate defect functionals [2, 5]).
+
+Let us recall that the Fourier multiplier operator T with the symbol  is defined vie the Fourier and inverse Fourier transform
+Tu(x) = F -1(()F (u))(x), u  L2(Rd),
+where the Fourier and the inverse Fourier transforms are given by
+
+F (u)() = u^() = e-2ix�u(x)dx, F -1(u)(x) = u(x) = e2ix�u()d.
+
+For properties of the Fourier multiplier operators one can consult [4].
+
+2. Proof of Theorem 2 in the case of first order constant coefficients operator and the scalar measure
+
+Here, we shall prove Theorem 2 when the scalar finite Radon measure �  M(Rd) satisfies the equation
+
+d
+
+xl (al�) + a0� = 0,
+
+(8)
+
+l=1
+
+where (a0, a1, . . . , ad) is a constant vector. The proof is essentially the same for the general operator of the form given in (1), but the proof is a bit less technical for (8). The proof in full generality is given in the next section.
+
+Before we start, let f be the Radon-Nykodim derivative of �s with respect to |�s| (we disregard the fact that f can take only values �1):
+d�s(y) = f (y)d|�s|(y).
+
+We fix a convolution kernel  : Rd  R which is a smooth, compactly supported function of total mass
+
+one and convolve (8) by (x) =
+
+1 d
+
+(
+
+x 
+
+).
+
+Then, we take an arbitrary   Cc1(Rd) and test the convolved
+
+equation on such a function. We get (below we denote � = �   and (y), �(y) = Rd (y)d�(y))

+
+(10)
+
+We now introduce in the first integral the change of variables x = z + w and multiply entire expression by
+
+. We get:

+
+d�(x) = 0.
+
+(11)
+
+Now, we shall use the uniform singularity conditions. We rewrite (11) in the form
+

+

+

+B(z,())\E

+
+Rd
+
+x-z 
+
+d�(x) = 0
+
+(12)
+
+for the set E and the function () corresponding to the point z in Definition 1. Now, according to the
+
+assumptions for the uniformly singular measures and the fact that  is compactly supported:
+
+E  B(z, ()),
+
+() 
+
+
+
+0;
+
+�s(B(z, ())\E) |�s|(E)

+

+
+we get after dividing (12) by |�s|(E) and letting   0 in (12)
+
+d
+
+(w) alwl (w)f (z)dw = 0.
+
+(13)
+
+Rd
+
+l=1
+
+Now, by simple density arguments, we see that we can take   C01(Rd). We choose
+
+(w) = T(/||) (w),
+||
+
+where
+
+T (/||)
+||
+
+is
+
+the

+
+5
+
+3. Proof of Theorem 2; general case
+
+We follow the steps from the previous section and we address a reader there for clarifications.
+
+We start by fixing j in (2) and the convolution kernel  : R  R which is smooth, compactly supported with total mass one. We then denote (x = (x1, . . . , xd) and w = (w1, . . . , wd) below)

+j,(x)

+(

+
+and
+
+d
+(w) = (wk),
+k=1
+
+and convolve (2) by j,. We have for (ajl�s) = (ajl�l)  j,(x):
+
+m
+(ajl�l) = 0.
+Ij l=1
+
+(15)
+
+We then apply a test function   Cc(Rd) on (15) to get

+Now,

+(16)
+
+instead
+
+of
+
+.
+
+Multiplying
+
+the
+
+obtained

+
+m
+
+(-1)||
+
+j,(x - y), ajl(y)�k (y) (x - z)dx + R = 0,
+
+Ij
+
+l=1 Rd
+
+(17)
+
+where R  0 as   0 (for clarifications, see the last term on the left-hand side in (11)). Next, we introduce the change of variables x = (z1 + 1j w1, . . . , zd + dj wd) in the first term on the left-hand side of (17). We get

+

+
+(18)
+
+Now, we divide (18) by |�s|(E) and let   0. Taking into account the uniform singularity assumptions as in (12), we get
+
+We now take

+(w) = T (j ()) (w),

+Abstract
+We study the shadows of the fully non-linear, asymptotically flat Einstein-dilatonGauss-Bonnet (EdGB) black holes (BHs), for both static and rotating solutions. We find that, in all cases, these shadows are smaller than for comparable Kerr BHs, i.e. with the same total mass and angular momentum under similar observation conditions. In order to compare both cases we provide quantitative shadow parameters, observing in particular that the differences in the shadows mean radii are never larger than the percent level. Therefore, generically, EdGB BHs cannot be excluded by (near future) shadow observations alone. On the theoretical side, we find no clear signature of some exotic features of EdGB BHs on the corresponding shadows, such as the regions of negative (Komar, say) energy density outside the horizon. We speculate that this is due to the fact that the Komar energy interior to the light rings (or more precisely, the surfaces of constant radial coordinate that intersect the light rings in the equatorial plane) is always smaller than the ADM mass, and consequently the corresponding shadows are smaller than those of comparable Kerr BHs. The analysis herein provides a clear example that it is the light ring impact parameter, rather than its "size", that determines a BH shadow.

+1 Introduction
+Ultraviolet theoretical inconsistencies of Einstein's General Relativity, such as its nonrenormalizability [1, 2, 3] and the existence of singularities, have since long motivated the suggestion that higher curvature corrections should be taken into account, in an improved theory of gravity (see e.g. [4]). Inclusion of a finite set of such higher curvature corrections, however, generically leads to runaway modes (Ostrogradsky instabilities [5]) in the classical theory and a breakdown of unitarity due to ghosts, in the quantum theory. These undesirable properties can be simply diagnosed, at the level of the classic field equations, by the presence of third order time (and consequently also space, by covariance) derivatives. A natural way around this problem is to require a self-consistent model, obtained as a truncation of the higher curvature expansion, to yield a set of field equations without such higher order derivatives.
+Lovelock [6] first established, for vacuum gravity, what are the allowed curvature combinations so that the field equations have no higher than second order time derivatives. It turns out that, in a Lagrangian, these combinations are simply the Euler densities, particular scalar polynomial combinations of the curvature tensors of order n. Since the nth Euler density is a topological invariant in spacetime dimension D = 2n and yields a non-dynamical contribution to the action in dimensions D 2n, an immediate corollary is that, in D = 4 vacuum gravity, the most general Lovelock theory is a combination of the 0th and 1st Euler density, or in other words, General Relativity with a cosmological constant. The 2nd Euler density, known as the Gauss-Bonnet (GB) combination, is a topological invariant in D = 4 and does not contribute to the dynamical equations of motion if included in the action.
+There is, however, a simple and natural way to make the GB combination dynamical in a D = 4 theory: couple it to a dynamical scalar field. This is actually a model that emerges naturally in string theory [7] (see also [8] for a discussion on this point), where the scalar field is the dilaton, and can be considered as a simple effective model to investigate the consequences of higher curvature corrections in D = 4 gravity. The corresponding model takes the name of Einstein-dilaton-Gauss-Bonnet (EdGB) theory and is described by the action (1) in section 2 below.
+Black holes (BHs) in EdGB theory were first shown to exist, in spherical symmetry, by Kanti et al. [8], wherein they were obtained numerically. These solutions, which moreover are perturbatively stable along their main branch [9], are asymptotically flat, regular on and outside an event horizon, and describe a horizon surrounded by a non-trivial dilaton profile. They circumvent some well-known no (real) scalar hair theorems, namely those by Bekenstein [10, 11] (see [12] for a recent review), due to the non minimal coupling of the dilaton to the geometry and the fact that if one associates some effective matter with the GB term, then this represents exotic matter, violating the typical energy conditions. One manifestation of this effective exotic matter is that the BH solutions have regions of negative energy density outside the horizon. Another manifestation is that there is a minimal mass for BHs, determined by the GB coupling. We remark that the scalar hair of this BHs
+2
+
+has no-independent conserved charge, thus being called secondary. See, e.g. [13, 14, 15, 16, 17] for further discussions of these spherically symmetric solutions and some charged generalizations.1
+Rotating BHs in EdGB theory were found, fully non-linearly in [20, 21] (see also [22, 23, 24, 25] for perturbative studies). A minimal mass depending on the GB coupling still exists for these rotating solutions and, as a novel physical feature, some (small) violations of the Kerr bound in terms of ADM quantities are observed. Again, regions with negative energy density exist outside the horizon.
+In this paper, we shall investigate how the dGB term impacts on one particular observable feature of a BH: its shadow [26]. BH shadows can be roughly described as the silhouette produced by the BH when placed in front of a bright background. They are determined by the BH absorption cross section for light at high frequencies. Over the last few years there has been a renewed theoretical interest in this old concept, first discussed for the Kerr BH by Bardeen [27], due to observational attempts to measure the BH shadow of the supermassive BHs in our galactic center as well as that in the centre of M87 [28]. In particular, in [29, 30, 31], the shadows of a type of hairy BHs that connect continuously to Kerr, within General Relativity and with matter obeying all energy conditions, called Kerr BHs with scalar hair [32, 33, 34], have been studied. It has been pointed out that, generically, these shadows are smaller than those of a comparable Kerr BH, i.e. a vacuum rotating BH with the same total mass and angular momentum. A possible interpretation of this qualitative behaviour is the following: the total mass (and angular momentum) of the hairy BHs is now partly stored in the scalar field outside the horizon; in particular the existence of some energy outside the region of unstable spherical photon orbits, also referred to as photon region (see section 3.1) [35], implies that less energy exists inside this region and hence the light rings should be smaller (within an appropriate measure) as compared to their vacuum counterparts and consequently so should be the shadows.
+The above interpretation raises an interesting question in relation to the BHs in EdGB theory. Since these have negative energy densities outside the horizon, how do these regions of effective exotic matter impact on their shadows? In particular could there be a negative energy contribution outside the photon region that is sufficiently large to increase the shadow size with respect to a vacuum counterpart? We remark that for other non-vacuum solutions with physical matter, i.e. obeying all energy conditions, the size of the shadow typically decreases with respect to the size of a comparable vacuum Kerr BH � see e.g. [36] for electrically charged BHs. However, larger shadows have also been observed, e.g., in extended Chern-Simons gravity [37] or brane world BHs [38] which possess effective exotic matter, similarly to EdGB. Nevertheless, we shall see that for EdGB the shadows are always smaller with respect to the vacuum case, with the maximal deviation being of the order of only a few percent. For some work on BH shadows in different models see [29, 35, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46], and in particular [47] for perturbative EdGB BHs.
+1BH solutions of a closely related Horndeski model can be found in [18, 19].

+
+This paper is organized as follows. In Section 2 we describe the EdGB model and present its field equations. An overview of the known BH solutions in this model, both static and stationary, is also provided there, together with the corresponding domain of existence and limiting cases. Then, in Section 3 we present the shadows for a representative sample of solutions and interpret the patterns obtained. We close with a discussion in Section 4.
+

+Varying the action (1) with respect to g�, we obtain4 the Einstein equations:
+
+G� = T�(eff) ,

+
+ = e-RG2 B .
+
+(4)
+
+The EdGB model possesses BH and wormhole [49] solutions, but no particle-like solitonic configurations are known (for a review, see the recent work [50]), although the coupling to matter leads, e.g., to neutron stars [51, 52]. Note that in contrast to the GR case, all EdGB solutions (with  = 0) have been obtained numerically.
+In terms of the spherical-type coordinates r,  and , all known EdGB solutions possess at least two Killing vectors  = /t and  = / (where t is the time coordinate). Then a generic metric ansatz can be written as
+
+ds2 = grrdr2 + gd2 + gd2 + 2gtddt + gttdt2 ,
+
+(5)
+
+2In this work we shall use geometric units c = G = 1. 3Since the system possesses the symmetry   -,   -, it is enough to consider strictly positive
+values of . Furthermore, in order to have a non-trivial coupling to the dilaton field,  = 0. 4We follow the conventions in Ref. [48].

+
+One can also define a global dilaton measure D from the asymptotic expansion of the scalar field,  = -D/r + . . . which however is not an independent quantity, since the dilaton field does not qualify as primary hair [8], [21].
+
+2.2 The static EdGB black holes
+
+Consider for the moment the static, spherically symmetric solutions (J = 0). Close to the event horizon, these solutions possess an approximate expression as a power series in r - rH , where rH is the radial coordinate of the horizon. In particular, in Schwarzschild coordinates one finds (r) = H + 1(r - rH) + . . . , where 1 satisfies a quadratic equation (see e.g. [8], [13], [14], [21]). Since the scalar field is real, the discriminant of the quadratic equation is required to be positive, yielding the condition:

+962
+
+2
+
+e-2H A2H /(16
+
+2)
+
+
+
+0,
+
+(7)
+
+where AH is the event horizon area. Eventually, this condition will be violated after some limiting solution is reached, beyond which solutions cease to exist in the parameter space. For a given , all solutions can be obtained continuously in the parameter space. When appropriately scaled they form a line, starting from the smooth GR limit (  0 as   0), and ending at the limiting solution. The existence of the latter places a lower bound on the BH horizon radius. It actually also implies the existence of a lower bound on the BH mass. In particular, as discussed in [8, 22], the static EdGB solutions with  = 1 are limited to the parameter range 0  /M2 0.1728. A rather similar behaviour holds5 for  = 1.
+Solutions no longer exist if the ratio /M2 is larger than a critical value, which decreases with increasing . The configuration at this maximal value is dubbed the critical solution, which needs not to coincide with the limiting solution. In particular, for large enough , the solution line can be extended backwards in /M2, into a "secondary branch", after the critical configuration is reached [48]; this secondary branch eventually terminates at the limiting solution. Some of these features can be seen in an (, D)-diagram of solutions with different , as shown in Figure 1 (left). In particular, notice how for sufficiently large  values it is possible to have two different values of D/M for the same /M2, which indicates the presence of two branches. According to arguments from catastrophy theory, the stability should change at the critical solution, so that the solutions along the secondary branch will be unstable [13].

(Right) Domain of existence of spinning solutions with  = 1. The set of considered (spinning) solutions in Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 are shown here as highlighted points.
+
+2.3 The spinning EdGB black holes
+Spherically symmetric BHs typically possess spinning generalizations. However, so far only the  = 1 case has been explored in the literature. These BHs were first obtained at the fully non-linear level in [20] (see also [22, 23, 24, 25] for perturbative results). Similar to the GR case, these BHs possess a Z2 symmetry along the equatorial plane ( = /2) and are obtained by solving the field equations (2) and (4) subject to appropriate boundary conditions that are detailed in [21].
+The domain of existence of EdGB BHs is bounded by four sets of solutions: i) the set of static (i.e. spherically symmetric) EdGB BHs with J = 0; ii) the set of extremal (i.e., zero temperature) EdGB BHs; iii) the set of critical solutions; and iv) the set of GR solutions � the Kerr/Schwarzschild BHs with  = 0. In Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 the boundary line displayed includes the sets ii) and iii).
+The general critical solutions are the rotating generalization of the static case, while the extremal set does not appear to be regular on the horizon.6 Moreover, the mass of the EdGB rotating BHs is always bounded from below, whereas the angular momentum can (slightly) exceed the Kerr bound, which is given by J M2. Further details on these aspects together with various plots of the domain of existence are found in [21]. Here we give the domain of existence in (, D)-variables [Figure 1 (right)] and in (, J)-variables (Figure 3).

+3 Shadows
+
+3.1 Light rings
+As it is well described in the literature, the Kerr spacetime supports unstable photon orbits with a fixed Boyer-Lindquist radial coordinate, i.e., the photon region [27]. A subset of the latter is restricted to the equatorial plane ( = /2), and comprises two independent circular photon orbits with opposite rotation senses, dubbed here as light rings. Such orbits are not unique to the Kerr spacetime and have an intrinsic relation to the BH shadow. In particular, unstable light rings embody a threshold of stability between equatorial null geodesics that scatter to infinity and ones that plunge into the BH. Consequently, light rings account for the shadow edge in observations restricted to the equatorial plane's line of sight (provided both exist). Following [31], the light ring positions can be obtained by analysing the following condition in the equatorial plane:
+
+-gt � gt2 - gttg
+
+rh� = 0, with h� =
+
+. gtt
+
+(8)
+
+Recalling the Kerr case, each sign � leads to one of the two light rings. Curiously, although the EdGB BHs discussed in this paper are fully non-linear solutions (rather than perturbations of Kerr), the light ring qualitative structure still appears to be the same as in Kerr. However, notice that for other families of solutions this is not always the case. For instance, multiple light rings can appear for BHs with scalar hair, some of which are stable [31].
+
+3.2 Characterizing the shadow
+Assuming that a suitable light source is present to provide contrast, a BH casts a black region in an observer's sky, commonly called the BH shadow. Although some characteristics are observer dependent [30], the size and shape of the shadow are essentially a manifestation of the spacetime properties close to the BH, depending for instance on the light ring characteristics. Consequently, instructive physics can be inferred from such observations.
+Consider the dummy shadow in Fig. 2, represented in the image plane of the observer. A Cartesian parametrization (x, y) is used, where the x-axis is defined to be parallel to the azimuthal Killing vector  = / at the observer's position. The origin (0, 0) of this coordinate system, defined as point O in Fig. 2, corresponds to the direction pointing towards the center of the BH -/r (from the reader into the paper).
+The point C in the figure, taken to be the center of the shadow, is such that its abscissa is given by xC = (xmax + xmin)/2, where xmax and xmin are respectively the maximum and minimum abscissae of the shadow's edge. If the observer is in the equatorial plane ( = /2), which will be assumed throughout the paper, then the shadow inherits along the x-axis the spacetime reflection symmetry, giving yC = 0. Since the points C and O need not to coincide,

+
+a specific feature of a shadow is the displacement xC between the shadow and the center of the image plane O.
+A generic point P on the shadow's edge is at a distance r from C, which is defined as
+r  yP 2 + (xP - xC )2. Given the line element ds2 = dx2 + dy2, the perimeter P of the shadow, its average radius r� and the deviation from sphericity r are defined by:

+3.3 Rotating EdGB BHs
+Due to the existence of a hidden constant of motion - the Carter constant - the edge of the Kerr shadow can be obtained in a closed analytical form [27, 35, 53]. However, EdGB BHs are not expected to have such a property, since they all appear to be of Petrov type I [21]. This is consistent with the perturbative results in [24]. As a consequence, in general the shadow of the latter has to be obtained numerically through the standard backwards ray-tracing framework [45, 54]. In order to generate a virtual image of the shadow, this
+7An analytical expression for the Kerr shadow, as seen by an observer with zero angular momentum (ZAMO), can be found in [53].
+
+8
+
+method requires propagating null geodesics "backwards in time", where a high frequency approximation is assumed, starting from the observer's position and determining the source of each light ray. Different points in the image plane correspond to different directions in the observer's sky, and hence to different initial conditions of the geodesic equations. The shadow is precisely the set of all those initial conditions which induce geodesics with endpoints on the event horizon, when propagated backwards in time. Since the event horizon is not a source of any light (classically), the shadow actually embodies a lack of radiation8.
+
+The geodesic propagation method described above is necessary to compute most of the
+
+shadow edge. However, the points x1 and x2 in Fig. 2, where the edge intersects the x-axis, can be computed using a highly precise local method. In particular, for an observer in the
+
+equatorial plane, light rings are the orbits responsible for these intersection points. The
+
+impact parameter  = L/E will play here a crucial role, where E and L are respectively the
+
+photon's energy and axial angular momentum with respect to a static observer at infinity.
+
+Moreover, these quantities are constants of geodesic motion, connected to the Killing vectors
+
+of the spacetime  = /t and  = /. The function h� will now be helpful again, as
+
+the value of  in a given light ring orbit is provided simply by  = h�, computed at that
+
+position [31].
+
+The precise relation between the image coordinate x and the impact parameter  depends
+
+on the choice for the observer's frame, but also on how x is constructed in terms of observation
+
+angles. Following [31, 53], the observation angle  along that
+
+x coordinate is defined axis: x = -R~ , where
+
+to be directly proportional the perimetral radius R~ 
+
+togan
+
+is computed at the observer's position. By computing the projection of the photon's 4-
+
+momentum onto a ZAMO frame [31, 53], the relation sin  = /(A0 +  B0) can be derived
+(if y = 0),where the following quantities are computed at the position of the observer: A0 = g/ D, B0 = gt/ D, with D  gt2 - gttg. This leads to the relation (with y = 0):
+
+x = -R~ arcsin
+
+ A0 + B0
+
+.
+
+(11)
+
+For the sake of the argument, consider also a very far away observer (r  ). In these conditions we obtain the very simple relation x = -. By computing 1 and 2 for each of the two light rings, we can obtain the shadow radius r�x on the x-axis simply with r�x = |x1 - x2|/2, where each x is evaluated from the respective . Notice that this is a local method, in the sense that it does not require the evolution of a geodesic throughout the spacetime. Hence, obtaining a very precise r�x value only depends on knowing  at the light rings with sufficiently high accuracy. Furthermore, by comparing this r�x value with the one obtained with ray-tracing, we can estimate that the precision of the latter is around  0.08%.

In particular, on the right of Fig. 3 the relative differences of the shadow size r with respect to Kerr is represented in a circle plot. All deviations are negative, with the largest ones (in absolute) around  -1.5%. As (another) rule of thumb, increasing /M2 appears to lead to larger radial deviations from Kerr. In particular, the spherically symmetric EdGB line (J = 0) includes some of the largest |r| values.

+For completeness, the deviations11 of r with respect to Kerr are represented in the left of Fig. 4. Curiously, all values of  are negative, which means that EdGB shadows are more "circular" than the corresponding Kerr case. Hence, the GB term appears to soften the spin deformations that exist on the Kerr shadows. Moreover, notice how the largest || values can be found close to the critical boundary in solution space. Additionally, the deviations xC can be both positive and negative, although a plot for this quantity is not shown.

+Until this point we discussed only the shadows of EdGB solutions for dilatonic coupling  = 1. Repeating the above analysis for other values of  would be rather cumbersome. Nevertheless, as discussed in the previous subsection, some of the largest r� deviations occur within the static case. Therefore this can be considered as an incentive to explore other values of , while restricting ourselves to J = 0. This will provide some insight on the effect of the  parameter without much more effort.
+For the static case (J = 0) the shadow is a circle due to the spherical symmetry of the spacetime. Using this property, we have r� = r�x, which allows us to use the high precision method described before, thus obtaining the shadow edge without having to resort to any ray-tracing. Notice that in this case r and xC are both zero due to the spherical symmetry.
+The radial deviations r of static EdGB shadows with respect to those of a comparable Schwarzschild BH are represented in Fig. 5, for different  values. The data suggests a scenario where for a fixed value of /M2 the deviations on the stable branches are larger if

+
+we increase ; however, after entering the domain of the secondary (unstable) branches,  has to decrease in order to yield larger deviations. Furthermore, for a given , the maximum deviation always appears to occur at the limiting solution, with this maximal deviation being larger for smaller  values. For instance,  = 0.5 can lead to shadows  2% smaller than for Schwarzschild, whereas for  = 1 all deviations are below 1.5%.
+4 Discussion
+The shadow of a EdGB BH is always smaller than the comparable Kerr one. However, the deviations observed are always smaller (in modulus) than a few percent ( 1%). Since such differences are below the expected resolution of planned observations ( 6% as anticipated in [55]), it is unlikely that in the near future any shadow measurement can exclude or restrict EdGB models. Nevertheless, the present study was not exhaustive; it leaves, for instance, studies for different inclinations and distances as future work. Since EdGB theory possesses unusual features such as effective exotic matter, it might come as a surprise that there are no significant effects at the level of the shadow. However, this effective exotic matter is concentrated close to the horizon, such that there is no negative energy contribution outside the photon region that could significantly affect the shadow's size. At the same time any near-horizon odd effects are concealed from a remote observer by the shadow. It may come as another surprise, that the light ring size12 of EdGB BHs can, for instance, change by as much as  4%, when considering the static case with  = 0.5, and this effect will increase with further decreasing . The natural question is then: why are the deviations in the shadow size not larger? For the sake of the argument consider the static case, where it becomes clear that the critical ingredient for the shadow radius is the impact parameter , and not the light ring size. Naturally, there is a strong correlation between both concepts, but at the end of the day what matters is the value of the impact parameter. We would like to point out that this observation is often not clear enough in the literature: a large variation of the light ring size does not have to lead to equally large variations of the shadow radius.

+Dissipative stabilization of quantum-feedback-based multipartite entanglement with Rydberg atoms

+A quantum-feedback-based scheme is proposed for generating multipartite entanglements of Rydberg atoms in a dissipative optical cavity. The Rydberg blockade mechanism efficiently prevents double excitations of the system, which is further exploited to speed up the stabilization of an entangled state with a single Rydberg state excitation. The corresponding feedback operations are greatly simplified, since only one regular atom needs to be controlled during the whole process, irrespective of the number of particles. The form of entangled state is also adjustable via regulating the Rabi frequencies of driving fields. Moreover, a relatively long-life time of the high-lying Rydberg level guarantees a high fidelity in a realistic situation.

+I. INTRODUCTION
+Quantum entanglement, formally proposed by Ervin Schr�odinger, is defined to describe a strongly correlated system constituted by pairs or groups of particles [1]. This kind of correlation is so peculiar that a measurement made on either of the particles apparently collapses the state of system instantaneously, even when the particles are separated by a large distance. Although this `spooky action at a distance' has made Einstein thought that quantum mechanics is not a complete [2], the observations of quantum entanglement have been continuously demonstrated in experiments with linear photons system [3�5], cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED) system [6, 7], and trapped ions systems [8�10], etc. Nowadays, quantum entanglement, as a fundamental feature in quantum mechanics, has greatly promoted the development of quantum information.
+There are several entangled states that appear often in theory and experiments. For two qubits, the four maximally entangled Bell states form a complete orthonormal basis of the Hilbert space [11], which play a fundamental role in Bell's theorem, and are also known as EPR pairs in quantum key distribution protocols [12, 13]. For three qubits or more, there are two inequivalent classes of maximally entangled states such as Greenberger-HorneZeilinger (GHZ) and W states, both of them provide stronger refutations of local realism and are more useful in quantum information processing (QIP) [14, 15]. Compared with the maximal entanglement, some nonmaximally entangled states possess more practical capability in certain QIP tasks. For instance, the idea of decoherence-free subspaces (DFS) was brought forward

+
+to passively prevent the quantum system against a special class of decohrence [16�18]. The quantum information encoded into DFS could keep a unitary evolution of system, since they are decoupled from the environment. Due to the above properties, quantum entanglement has become the core of quantum information science, and researchers have devoted themselves to generate various of entangled states with high quality [19�22].
+An intuitive and effective way for manipulation of quantum states is to design a quantum dynamic or adiabatic process that unitarily map an initial state to the target state. Nevertheless, the inevitable interaction between quantum system and its surrounding reservoir will destroy the coherence of quantum components, thus decoherence makes it an obstacle to preparing faithful and reliable entanglements in experiments [23, 24]. Fortunately, recent developments of technologies suggest that quantum feedback strategy can be taken advantage of controlling and overcoming entanglement degradation in open quantum system. Using approach of quantum trajectories [25], the theory of quantum-limited feedback for continuously monitored systems is characterized by a deterministic Markovian master equation, as the time delay in the feedback loop is negligible. This method was successfully exploited to enhance the steady-state entanglement of two atoms by homodyne-mediated feedback [26, 27], and the amount and the robustness of entanglement were substantially improved further via quantumjump-based quantum feedback [28�32].
+In the later direct feedback schemes [28, 30], application of nonidentical feedback Hamiltonian, breaking the symmetry properties with respect to exchange of atoms, admits a single steady-state solution of the master equation for system. As a result, a maximally entangled state is always achievable from an arbitrary initial state. However, we note that the output entangled state is closely related to the angular momentum state with J = 0, where J is the total spin of system consisting of n equivalent
+
+2
+
+pseudospin-1/2 particles. This situation imposes a strict restriction on the parity of particle number n, which is not available to prepare any other kinds of multipartite entanglement.
+In this paper, we propose an efficient scheme for stabilization of quantum-feedback-based entanglement with Rydberg atoms [33�39]. The advantage for adopting Rydberg atoms as qubits is twofold: On the one hand, an excited atom can cause sufficiently large energy shifts of Rydberg states in its neighboring atoms, thus the whole system is blockaded into a single excitation subspace at most. This blockade mechanism greatly reduces the dimension of investigated system and contributes to an analytical steady-state solution for the stochastic master equation. On the other hand, the Rydberg state with a large principle quantum number is able to live for a very long time, which admirably suits for being encoded quantum information. Furthermore, the form of entangled steady states is adjustable and the feedback control is applied simply on a regular atom, irrespective of the number of particles.
+The remainder of the paper is organized as follows. In Sec. II, we derive an effective Hamiltonian of the interaction between multipartite cascade-type Rydberg atoms and a damped cavity. In Sec. III, we obtain an effective master equation describing atomic collective amplitude damping induced by a large cavity loss. In Sec. IV, we analytically and numerically investigate the effect of quantum feedback on preparation of bipartite-, tripartite-, and multipartite entanglement, respectively. In Sec. V, we discuss the experimental feasibility of our proposal and give a conclusion.
+
+II. EFFECTIVE PHYSICAL MODEL
+
+We consider multipartite Rydberg atoms with cascadetype configuration are trapped in an optical cavity, as shown in Fig. 1. Each atom is constituted by a Rydberg state |r , an optical state |p , and a ground state |g . The indirect transition from |g to |r mediated by |p is driven by two independent channels: In one channel, the atom is first coupled to the cavity mode with strength g, detuned by b, and then pumped by a classical field with Rabi frequency c, detuning -a. The other channel is totally composed by two laser fields, and the corresponding Rabi frequencies and detuings are R, -b, and B, a, respectively. All parameters are assumed to be real for the sake of simplicity. In the interaction picture, the Hamiltonian of the system reads ( = 1)

+potential is also called reversal potential and indicated by Vx. For example, looking at table 2.1 we see that Ca2+ and Na+conductances have positive reversal potentials, so they tend to depolarize a neuron, while the opposite normally happens with K+ channels.
+
+2.1.4 Membrane currents
+
+In order to model the membrane current flowing through the channel x, im,x, we make a first order approximation obtaining: im,x(t) = gx(t)(V (t) - Vx). Summing over the different types of channels, we obtain the total membrane current (see equation 2.2):
+
+im(t) = gx(t)(V (t) - Vx).
+x
+
+(2.4)
+
+The term (V (t) - Vx) is called the driving force, because it is responsible for the intensity and the direction of the net movement of ions across the channel. In particular, the
+
+current flows in the direction that tends to minimize the driving force. The factor gx is the conductance per unit area due to the channel x and it is in general a function of the
+
+time. Indeed much of the complexity and richness of neuronal dynamics arises because
+
+membrane conductances change over time (the channels can open and close depending
+
+on many factors, see section 2.1.1 on page 19). Nevertheless some of the factors which
+
+contribute to the total membrane current can be treated as channels with a relatively
+
+constant synaptic conductance (e.g. the ionic pumps). In the simplest version of the model,
+
+they are grouped together into a single term called leakage current whose conductance is
+
+not a function of time. Therefore the total physiological current, im, can be split into two
+
+contributes:
+
+im(t) = ileak(t) + iaxctive(t),
+x
+
+(2.5)
+
+where
+
+ileak(t) = gleak(V (t) - Vleak).
+
+(2.6)
+
+23
+
+2 Theoretical framework
+
+Since the leak conductance is time-independent, it is also called passive conductance to distinguish it from the variable conductances, which are termed active because they interact with the surrounding. Indeed they can be affected by both the state of the neuron (like the membrane potential value) and by the environment where the neuron is placed (like the concentration of a given ion). We can write the active currents as the product of a maximal conductance, g�x, times an active probability, sx, (that is the probability of finding the channel x in an open and active state) in the following way:
+
+iaxctive(t) = g�xsx(t)(V (t) - Vx),
+
+(2.7)
+
+where Vx is the reversal potential of the channel and sx(t) a function that describes the channel dynamics.
+
+2.1.5 Synaptic currents
+
+A very important class of active conductances is given by the synapses. Indeed also the synapses can be modeled as conductances and depending on the value of their reversal potential they are termed excitatory or inhibitory. In particular, if a synaptic conductance has a reversal potential higher than the threshold for action potential generation, its activation will produce an increase of the membrane potential (that is a depolarization of the neuron) and the synapse is called excitatory. On the other hand when the reversal potential is lower than the threshold, its activation will hyperpolarize the neuron and the synapse is called inhibitory. This conductances cannot be efficiently modeled as constants, therefore, we write the synaptic currents as in equation 2.7:
+
+isyn(t) = g�synssyn(t)(V (t) - Vsyn),
+
+(2.8)
+
+where Vsyn is the reversal potential of the synapse syn and ssyn(t) is a function that models the synaptic dynamics. In particular, ssyn(t) expresses the probability that the synaptic channel is open as a consequence of the arrival of an action potential. In order to write an explicit equation for ssyn(t), we firstly introduce Ppre, which is the probability that the presynaptic neuron is activated by the arrival of an action potential at the synaptic terminal (and the neurotransmitter released in the synaptic cleft). When an action potential invades the presynaptic terminal, the transmitter concentration in the synaptic cleft rises extremely rapidly after vesicle release, remains at a high value for a period of duration T , and then falls rapidly to 0. Therefore, as a simple model of the presynaptic transmitter release, we assume that Ppre is a square pulse (with pulses located at the spike times) of amplitude T .
+
+24
+
+2.1 Modelling neurons and neural circuits
+
+Let's assume now to model the opening an closing of the synaptic channel as two exponentials and introduce the following coefficients: syn, which represents the opening rate of the synapse and syn, which is the closing rate of the synapse. In general these two coefficients are not constant and they can be function, for example, of the neurotransmitter concentration and of the membrane potential. In particular, since we are interested in the case where the synaptic channel is open when an action potential arrives, we take as effective opening rate the product synPpre. The probability that a synaptic gate opens over a short time interval is proportional to the probability of finding the gate closed, (1 - ssyn), multiplied by the opening rate synPpre. Likewise, the probability that a synaptic gate closes during a short time interval is proportional to the probability of finding the gate open, ssyn, times the closing rate syn. Therefore, the equation for the probability that the synaptic channel is active is:
+
+dssyn dt
+
+=
+
+synPpre(t)(1 - ssyn(t)) - synssyn(t).
+
+(2.9)
+
+The solution for this equation depends on the spike train impinging on the neuron (through the presynaptic probability Ppre). The contribution to ssyn of each post synaptic potential is given by the difference of two exponentials: one models the opening of the synaptic gates (that is the increase of ssyn observed in correspondence of the arrival of an action potential) with time rise constant r = 1/syn, while the other exponential, which describes the closing of the synaptic gates with decay time d = 1/syn, tends to vanish ssyn. synand syn are obtained by fitting experimental data and typically r is considerably smaller than d.
+The synaptic currents can also be written in a simplified way by neglecting the dependence on the membrane potential V (t):

+isyn(t) = jsynssyn(t),
+
+(2.10)
+
+where jsyn is a constant (in units of current per unit area) which models the synaptic efficacy of the connections.
+
+2.1.6 Leaky Integrate-and-Fire model
+The leaky integrate-and-fire (LIF) model (Lapicque 1907) is one of the simplest singleneuron model that includes the action potential generation. It is a single-compartment model with some ad hoc assumptions needed to introduce the action potential in the neuronal dynamic.
+
+25
+
+2 Theoretical framework
+
+In particular, by substituting equation 2.6 into equation 2.2 we obtain a more explicit equation for the membrane potential of a single-compartment model:
+
+dV cm dt
+
+= -gleak(V (t) - Vleak) -
+
+x
+
+gx(t)(V (t) - Vx) +
+
+Ie(t) . A
+
+(2.11)
+
+In the simplest case the leak conductance, gleak, can be approximated by the input conductance (that is the inverse of the input resistance, see figure 2.2): gleak = 1/rm. Therefore, by multiplying both sides by the specific membrane resistance, we obtain:
+
+dV m dt
+
+= -V (t) + Vleak -
+
+x
+
+gx(t) (V gleak
+
+- Vx) + RmIe,
+
+(2.12)
+
+where m = cmrm is a constant with units of time. It is called the membrane time constant and its typical values is between 10 and 100 ms. If there are not input currents (that is gx(t) = Ie = 0), the membrane potential exponentially decades to the value Vleak with time constant m. Therefore Vleak is the potential of the cell and it is also called the resting potential of the neuron. Equation 2.11 is the equation for the potential in a electrical circuit, called equivalent circuit, consisting of a capacitor and a set of variable and non variable resistors corresponding to the different channels of the membrane. Figure 2.3 shows the equivalent circuit for a generic one-compartment model.
+
+A neuron will typically fire an action potential when its action potential reaches a threshold value of about -55 to -50 mV. The generation and propagation of an action potential in a neuron are due to a cascade of events that are very complex and depends on a lot of variables. In the leaky integrate-and-fire model the description of these biophysical mechanisms is simply avoided5: the subthreshold dynamics of the membrane potential follow the equation 2.12 and each time the membrane potential overcomes a fixed threshold, Vthresohld:
+1. An action potential is instantaneously fired
+
+2. The membrane potential is instantaneously set to the reset value, Vreset 3. The firing on another action potential is forbidden for a given absolute refractory
+period
+
+Equation 2.12 combined with the three rules just stated define the leaky integrate-and-fire
+model of a neuron.
+5Note that the mechanisms by which voltage-dependent conductances produce action potentials are well understood and they can be modeled quite accurately, for example, with the well-known Hodgkin-Huxley model. Nevertheless, in this work, we do not use these biophysically detailed models, since they require high computational costs.

+Figure 2.3: On the right, it is shown the equivalent circuit for a singlecompartment neuron model. On the left is represented the neuron (having surface area A) with a single synapses and a current-injecting electrode. The equation 2.11 determines the evolution of the voltage in such a circuit. In particular, the circled s indicates a synapse conductance (with reversal potential Es), which is a function of the presynaptic neuron activity. Then we have the capacitance and the leak conductance, which are constant, and eventually a series of voltage dependent conductances (indicated by the circled v). The dots stand for possible additional membrane conductances or active currents (such as the spike-rate adaptation current). All the physiological active currents are included in the summation over the channels in the equation 2.11. (Source: Dayan & Abbott 2001)

+
+The difference between the single-neuron model described in equation 2.13 and the one in equation 2.14 relies on the synaptic current. Both of them are LIF neurons, but in the latter case, the dependence on the membrane potential is neglected and the synapses are termed "current-based", while in the first case we have "conductance-based"6 synapses.
+The leaky integrate-and-fire models is very useful to investigate, for example, how neurons integrate a high number of synaptic inputs. A major difference in the way neurons
+6The reason for this terminology will be clear in chapter 3
+

+
+2 Theoretical framework
+can respond to multiple synaptic inputs depends on the balance between excitatory and inhibitory inputs. In figure 2.4A the excitation is so strong, with respect to inhibition, to produce an average membrane potential (when action potential generation blocked) above the spiking threshold of the model. By turning on the spiking mechanism the neuron fires in a regular way (that is with a regular pattern of action potentials). In this case the timing of the action potentials is only weakly related to the temporal structure of the input currents, since it is mainly determined by the charging rate of the neuron, which depends on its membrane time constant. On the other hand, in figure 2.4B, the mean membrane potential (in absence of spiking mechanism) is below the threshold for action potential generation and the resulting spiking activity is irregular: action potentials are generated only when the fluctuations in the synaptic input are sufficiently strong to bring the membrane over the threshold. In this case the degree of variability of the spiking activity (than can be measured for example with the coefficient of variation of the interspike interval, CV ISI) is much higher than in the regular regime and it is more similar to the high degree of variability observed in the spiking patterns of in vivo recordings of cortical neurons. Furthermore in the irregular-firing mode the spiking activity reflect the temporal properties of fluctuation in the input currents. For these reason the irregular-firing mode is by far the most investigated and, depending on the context, it is also termed inhibition-dominated or fluctuation-driven regime. In particular this is also the regime we will investigate.
+2.1.7 Neural networks
+By using different experimental methods has been proved that different cerebral areas are specialized for single functions (Kandel et al. 1999, Nicholls et al. 1997), even if no single areas are entirely responsible for a complex mind faculty. Indeed each area performs only some basic operations. In particular, all the most complex faculties are due to series and parallel connections across many different cerebral areas (Nicholls et al. 1997). In summary, extensive synaptic connectivity is a hallmark of neural circuitry. For example, a pyramidal neuron in the mammalian neocortex receives about 10,000 synaptic inputs where 75% are excitatory synapses and 25% inhibitory (this numbers change across the different structures of the cortex) (Abeles 1991, Braitenberg & Sch�z 1991). The merging of a so high number of synaptic inputs on a single-neuron of the cortex is indicative of how broad is the integration of the signal that happens at the single-neuron level and, more in general, of how complex is the computation underlying each recording site. Network models allow us to explore the computational potential of such connectivity, using both

+analysis and simulation7.
+Networks are used to study a broad spectrum of phenomena such as selective amplification of inputs, short-term memory, gain modulation, input selection, coding of sensory stimuli and so on. Neocortical circuits are the focus of our discussion. In the neocortex, neurons lie in six vertical layers highly coupled within cylindrical columns. Such columns have been suggested as basic functional units, and stereotypical patterns of connections (both within a column and between columns) are repeated across cortex. In particular, we can divide the observed interconnections within cortex in three main classes (Dayan & Abbott 2001):
+� feedforward connections, the input travels in a defined direction going from a given area (or layer) to another located in a following stage along the signal pathway
+� top-down connections, the input travels in a defined direction going from a given area (or layer) to another located in an earlier stage along the signal pathway
+� recurrent connections, the neurons are interconnected within a given area which is considered to be at the same stage along the processing pathway
+There is another major distinction between neural networks: they can be firing-rate or spiking models. In the former case each neuron-like unit of the network has output
+7In this work we mainly use simulation to investigate network dynamics.
+
+29
+
+2 Theoretical framework
+consisting of firing rates rather than action potential. This simplification is very useful to allow analytical calculations of same aspects of network dynamics that could not be treated in the case of spiking neurons. When we are dealing with spiking neurons networks, it means that the neuron-like unit of the network implements a model of action potential generation, so the output is given by the membrane potential and the spike train of each neuron.
+The last classification of neural networks models we introduce is based on the kinds of single neurons that compose the network. In particular, if all the neurons belong to the same population of excitatory either inhibitory neurons, then we have a one-population network, while, when both the populations are present, the network is a two-population network. Eventually, if all the neuron of a given population have identical free parameters, the network is homogeneous, while, if the single-neuron parameters can differ from neuron to neuron (at fixed population), the network is inhomogeneous.
+In this work we will investigate neural dynamics by means of two-populations recurrent networks of LIF neurons (that is spiking neurons).
+2.2 Information Theory
+A major purpose of our investigation of network dynamics by means of models is to understand the way neuronal networks convey information about sensory stimuli. Indeed the information calculation allows as to answer the following important question: "How much does the neural response tell us about a stimulus?"; by answering this question we can also investigate which forms of neural response are optimal for conveying information about natural stimuli.
+In order to quantify the information transmitted by neurons, we treat the brain as a communication channel and we assume that the coding and transmission processes are stochastic and noisy. More precisely, we compute the Shannon mutual information (Shannon 1948) between two random variables (Panzeri et al. 2007, Quiroga & Panzeri 2009, Shannon 1948) to quantify and analyze the information about the external stimulus obtained from different neural codes (i.e., different neural responses, as done in our previous work Mazzoni et al. (2011)) and with different synaptic current models (see chapter 3).
+30
+
+2.2 Information Theory
+2.2.1 Shannon information and neuroscience
+We introduce now the general concept of mutual information (hereafter information) of two random variables and we make, for clarity, examples by referring to our (discretized) case. Each time we run a simulation of a network model, we are basically computing an output signal as a function of the (noisy) input we inject to the network during the time interval T . We call that input signal the stimulus, S. In order to compute the information (that is the information of two random variables, where one is the stimulus S and the other is the answer R8) we need to define the neural response, R, that is the variable (or the set of variables) we take as output of the model. Note that this is the most important choice we make when computing information because it defines the neural code used to convey information, reflecting our hypotheses about which are the most important aspects of neural activity. We just mentioned that the response R can be given by one or more variables; more in general, it can be a scalar quantity or a vector ("response vector") and the dimension of the response, L, is the dimension of the code.
+For each presentation of the stimulus s in the time interval T , the response R will assume the value r, and the amplitude of T determines the temporal precision of the code.
+A crucial point in this computation relies on the fact that the coding is a stochastic and noisy process: the value of the response r does not depend on the stimulus s in a deterministic way. Indeed the response is a stochastic function of the input where the noise plays a crucial role. This reflects a basic neuronal feature: real neurons are "noisy", that is they can produce different responses when presenting the same external stimulus. Two recordings (or simulations) where the stimulus s is the same, which differ only for the stochastic (noisy) component are called "trials". By means of information we want to investigate the relationship between the stimulus S and the answer R by quantifying which is the average reduction in the uncertainty of S due to the observation of R (decoding point of view) or, equivalently, which is the average reduction in the uncertainty of the response R due to the presentation of the stimulus S (encoding point of view)9.
+Let's assume the decoding point of view, and introduce the way to quantify the average level of uncertainty associated with the stimulus S. We define the probability that stimulus s is presented as: P (s) = Ns/Ntot, where Ns is the number of times the stimulus s has been presented and Ntot the total number of stimuli presented. We can now introduce the

+(Shannon's) total stimulus entropy:
+
+H(S) = - P (s) log2 P (s),
+s
+
+(2.15)
+
+where, by convention, base 2 logarithms are used so that information can be compared easily with results for binary systems. To indicate that the base 2 logarithm is being used, information is reported in units of "bits". This quantity is the average uncertainty about which stimulus s is presented in a time interval T . Indeed if the stimuli s are all equal, H(S) = 0, while it reaches its maximum when all the presented stimuli are different and equally likely: H(S) = - log2(1/Ntot).
+We define similarly the Shannon's total entropy of the stimulus S given the response R:
+
+H(S|R) = - P (r)P (s|r) log2 P (s|r),
+r,s
+
+(2.16)
+
+where P (r) is the probability that response r is observed and P (s|r) is the conditional (prior) probability that the stimulus s was presented when the response r is observed. This quantity represents the average uncertainty about which stimulus s was presented in a time interval T where the response r is known10. We can now define the mutual information between the response and the stimulus as the average reduction in the uncertainty of S due to the observation of R (in a time interval T ):
+
+I(S; R) = H(S) - H(S|R)
+
+P (s|r)

+
+P (r)P (s|r) log2

+. P (s)
+
+(2.17)
+
+The total stimulus entropy H(S) represents the maximum information theoretically available with the given distribution of stimuli (irrespective of the code chosen). On the other hand, if S and R are independent, there is no reduction of the stimulus uncertainty due to the knowledge of the response, H(S|R) = H(S), and the information is 0. The information, like entropy, is measured in bits; each bit of information corresponds to an average reduction of the uncertainty about the presented stimulus of a factor 2 as a consequence of the observation of a response r in the time interval T . Note that the information (measured in bits) is obtained from the observation of the neuronal response over a time interval T , therefore it does depend on this value. In some cases it is useful to normalize the information by T to obtain units of bits/sec.
+10Note that this variability is due to the stochastic nature of the coding process: if the relationship between stimulus and response was deterministic, H(S|R) would be 0.
+

+
+P (s|r) =

+

+By using the Bayes theorem in the equation 2.17, we obtain:

+(2.19)
+
+where P (s, r) = P (s)P (s|r) = P (r)P (r|s) is the joint probability of stimulus s appearing ans response r being evoked.
+From equation 2.5 we conclude that information is symmetric with respect to interchange of S and R. This is the reason why the information is mutual: S and R can be inverted without affecting the information. In the end we demonstrated what we mentioned above: the average reduction in the uncertainty of S due to the observation of R is equivalent to the average reduction in the uncertainty of the response R due to the presentation of the stimulus S.
+This last point of view (encoding point of view, corresponding to the last row of equation 2.5) represents a different interpretation of information which is based on the fact that the more the response is variable, the higher is the theoretical capacity of a code to convey information. Indeed an higher level of variability in the response R corresponds to an higher value of the total response entropy, H(R), which represents the maximum information theoretically achievable with the given code (distribution of responses) (de Ruyter van Steveninck et al. 1997, Dayan & Abbott 2001). The variability in the response as measured by the total response entropy includes both the variability due to the presentation of different stimuli and to the noise (which gives rise to different responses when the stimulus is fixed). The latter contribution is the entropy of the response R given the stimulus S, H(R|S), that is indeed called the noise entropy. Therefore I(S; R) = H(R) - H(R|S) is the variability in the response only due to the presentation of different stimuli. In figure 2.5 is showed a schematic representation of the computation of the mutual information in an example case where the stimulus is given by a movie presented to a monkey and the response is the power of LFP oscillations in a given frequency band.

+
+is the LFP power in the gamma band. (A) First the entire movie presentation
+
+time is portioned into non-overlapping window, each considered a different

+stimulus s (a "scene"). The set of the stimuli is the set of the different scenes,
+
+each of which is presented once every trial, therefore the probability of each
+
+scene, P (s), is the inverse of the number N of the scenes presented and it is
+
+constant. (B) The color plot shows the single-trial LFP gamma power (in this
+
+example, in the [72�76 Hz] frequency range) across all trials and movie scenes.
+
+From these data it is possible to compute the (C) probability distribution

+P (r) of the LFP gamma power across all trials and scenes and (D, E) the
+
+probability distribution P (r|s) of the LFP gamma power across trials given
+
+the presented scenes s1 and s2 respectively. The differences between the two
+
+distributions and the distribution P (r) suggest that the LFP gamma power
+
+carried information about which scene is presented. By computing P (r|s) for
+
+all scenes and inserting it in equation the actual value of the mutual information
+
+34
+
+is obtained. (Adapted from Mazzoni et al. (2011))
+
+2.2 Information Theory
+
+We can extend the information computation to the case where we want to quantify how much information is conveyed by the simultaneous observation of two distinct responses R1 and R2 (for example the power spectral density of two frequencies of the LFP). In this case the mutual information is:
+
+I(S; R1, R2)
+
+=
+
+s,r
+
+P (s)P (r1, r2|s) log2
+
+P (r1, r2|s) P (r1, r2)
+
+(2.20)
+
+If the two responses R1 and R2 were tuned to independent stimulus features, and they do not share any source of noise, then we would expect that I(S; R1, R2) = I(S; R1) + I(S; R2), which means that the two responses convey completely independent information about the same stimulus. Therefore to quantify how independent are the contributions to information given by the two responses we introduce the following information redundancy (Gieselmann & Thiele 2008, Logothetis 2002, Logothetis et al. 2007):
+
+Red(R1, R2) = I(S; R1) + I(S; R2) - I(S; R1, R2).
+
+(2.21)
+
+Redundancy is never negative, when it is zero, the two responses convey completely independent information about the stimulus, otherwise (at least part of) the information carried by R1 and R2 is redundant (is the same).
+We conclude this section by pointing out some important features that underlain information computation when evaluating the relationship between the stimulus and the neural activity evoked:
+� it is simple and allows a easy comparison between data obtained from experiments and from models (Mazzoni et al. 2011)
+� there are no assumptions about which features of the stimulus shape the neuronal response and in this way no one is missed (de Ruyter van Steveninck et al. 1997)
+� what matters when computing information is the probability to observe the answer r when presenting the stimulus s, therefore the units of the answer do not matter. This allows to build codes where the answer R combines different measurements of the neural activity (for example the spiking activity and the LFP) observed in time intervals of amplitude T . In the latter case we speak of "nested" codes (Kayser et al. 2009), to distinguish them from the case where the response is given by a single variable (like the firing rate or the spike time). Furthermore the response r (defined in the time interval T ) can include variables measured on different temporal scales, t  T . For example, it can be represented by the precise timing of individual spikes
+
+35
+
+2 Theoretical framework
+on the scale (t) of milliseconds and by the phase of the slow oscillations of the concomitant LFP on the scale (T ) of hundreds of milliseconds. In these cases we call the code a "multiplexed" code (Panzeri et al. 2010).
+
+2.3 Neural encoding and decoding
+A fundamental issue in neuroscience is the investigation of the link between stimulus and response. In section 2.2.1 on page 31, we saw that by means of the mutual information we can characterize "how much" the neural response tells us about the presented stimulus. An alternative and complementary approach to the same matter focus on the question: "What does the response of a neuron tell us about a stimulus?" Neural encoding and decoding face precisely this question.
+We already showed that when computing information the stimulus and the response can be interchanged without affecting the result. Thus, from a mathematical point of view, there is not an a priori distinction between the stimulus and the answer... it is just matter of choice. On the other hand, when you are doing an experiment it is always the case that it is clear which is the stimulus (if there is) you are presenting/injecting and which is the response you are recording. This is the reason why there are the two distinct names: neural encoding and decoding. Neural encoding refers to the map from stimulus to response, while neural decoding refers to the reverse map.
+
+2.3.1 Spike trains and firing rates
+
+In real neurons, action potentials can vary somewhat in duration, amplitude, and shape. However, when dealing with neural coding, action potentials are typically treated as identical stereotyped events and what matters is only the spike timing. Thus, we ignore the duration of an action potential (about 1 ms), and characterize the firing activity of a neuron by means of a list of the times when spikes occurred: for n spikes, we denoted these times by ti with i = 1, 2, ..., n. From the mathematical point of view, we assume the spike sequence can be represented as a sum of Dirac  functions:
+
+n
+(t) = (t - ti).
+i=1
+
+(2.22)
+
+(t) is the spike train (or neural response function; it represents the spiking times). Because of the trial-to-trial variability of the neural response, (t) is typically treated statistically
+
+36
+
+2.3 Neural encoding and decoding
+
+or probabilistically (see section 2.2.1 on page 31). Thus we use angle brackets, , to denote average over trials at fixed stimulus and we introduce the trial-averaged spike train, ( ) . Then the "average firing rate" over a time window T is given by:
+
+1T
+
+r=
+
+d ( ) ,
+
+T0
+
+while the firing (or spiking) rate, r(t), has the following expression:
+
+(2.23)
+
+1 t+t
+
+r(t) =
+
+d ( ) .
+
+t t
+
+(2.24)
+
+This is the "firing rate" computed on time windows of amplitude t. Formally the
+
+dependence on t can be removed by taking the limit t  0 on the right hand side
+
+of the equation (that is r(t) = (t) ). Actually the firing rate, r(t), being a probability
+
+density, cannot be determined exactly from the limited amounts of data available from a
+
+finite number of trials. Therefore we need to approximate the true firing rate from a spike
+
+sequence. There are several procedures to do it and some of them are illustrated in figure
+
+2.6. A very common way consists in making the convolution of the available spike train,
+
+(t), (or the PSTH, see figure 2.6) with a window function (also called the filter kernel),
+
+w(t), in order to obtain a more smoothed signal (and avoid jagged curve, like the ones
+
+showed in figure 2.6B,C):
+
++
+
+r(t) =
+
+d w( )(t -  ),
+
+-
+
+(2.25)
+
+where w( ) goes to 0 outside a region near  = 0 and has time integral equal to 1 (in
+
+order to not affect units of the firing rate). The filter kernel specifies how the spike train
+
+evaluated at time t -  contributes to the firing rate approximated at time t. Therefore, if
+
+we want the approximated firing rate in t depends only on the spikes occurred before t, the
+
+window function must be 0 when its argument is negative. Such a kernel is termed causal.
+
+2.3.2 Spike-triggered average
+A simple and effective way to perform neural encoding (that is to characterize the average neural response to a given stimulus) is to count the (trial-averaged) number of action potential fired during the presentation of different stimuli. By plotting this number as a function of the parameters s chosen to characterize the stimuli, we obtain the response tuning curve. The neural response to an external stimulus is mediated by the interaction between the stimulus and the sensory surface (e.g. in case of visual stimuli between the presented image and the retina). The portion of the sensory surface (and, by extension,

+of the external stimulus) responsible for the modulation of the firing activity of a given neuron is called the receptive field of the neuron.
+
+Response tuning curve characterizes the average neural response to a given stimulus. The complementary procedure, when performing neural decoding, consists in computing the average stimulus that elicited a given response. If the response is the spiking activity, this means to compute the spike-triggered average (STA). Indeed, the spike-triggered average is the average value of the stimulus at a time interval  from the occurrence of a spike. We describe the stimulus with a parameter, s(t), that varies over time, and define the STA as:
+
+1T
+

+
+C( ) =
+
+dt (t) s(t -  ) =
+
+dt r(t)s(t -  ),
+

+
+n0
+
+(2.26)
+
+where n is the average number of spikes in each trial, which is assumed to be constant over trials. Although the range of  values in equation 2.26 extends over the entire trial length time, the response is typically affected only by the stimulus in a window a few hundred milliseconds wide immediately preceding and following a spike. To understand the reason of this behavior, let's introduce the cross-correlation between the firing rate and the stimulus:
+
+Qrs( )
+
+=
+
+1 T
+
+T
+dt r(t)s(t +  )

+

+
+=
+
+dt r(t)s(t +  ).
+
+T0
+
+(2.27)
+
+By substituting equation 2.27 into equation 2.26, we obtain that
+
+C( ) =
+
+T n
+
+Qrs(- ) =
+
+Qrs(- ) . r
+
+(2.28)
+
+Now it is clear than the STA will approach to zero for positive  values larger than the correlation time between the stimulus and the response (that is usually in the order of hundred of milliseconds or smaller). Furthermore the response of a neuron cannot depend on future stimuli, thus, unless the stimulus has temporal autocorrelation11, we expect for C( ) to be zero for  < 0.
+
+Because of the minus sign of the argument in the right hand side of equation 2.28, the spike-triggered average is also called "reverse correlation function".
+
+11If a signal has temporal autocorrelation other than zero on a time interval t, it means that the signal in t � t (t < t) is not independent on the signal in t.

+2.3.3 Reverse correlation and Wiener kernels
+
+When investigating the relationships between network oscillations such as LFPs and EEGs and single-neuron activity, we cannot use (a priori) the categories of stimulus and answer. Indeed we do not know if there are (and in which directions) causal relationships between the two signals. In this respect, neither we can talk of neural encoding nor decoding. Our purpose is to estimate the time course of the local field potentials from the spiking activity of a neuron and vice versa. We also want to test how robust and general can be this estimation.
+
+If we have a nonlinear system, where the input x(t) and the output y(t) are functions of the time related by some functional transformation y(t) = F [x(t)], methods developed by Volterra (Volterra 2005) and Wiener (Wiener 1966), provide a power series expansion of the output function:

+
+Under certain conditions, the proper choice of the (Volterra) kernels, hn, will provide a complete description of any transformation x(t)  y(t) (Volterra 2005). Note that, in general, this is not a causal reconstruction of the output signal y, indeed the integrals can range over negative values of the time variable  , which means that the value of the input x at time instants later than t can affect the value of y(t)12. The series was rearranged by Wiener to make the terms easier. In particular, Wiener reformulated Volterra's expansion by making the successive terms independent, which means that we can compute the terms individually. In this formulation, the filter kernels are called Wiener kernels.
+Since we are interested in building a linear model of the relationships between single-neuron activity and network oscillations, let's focus on the first (i.e., linear) Wiener13 kernel h1. To have a clear intuition of what we are doing, remember that the simplest way to construct an estimate of a time varying signal y starting from x, yest, is to assume that at any given time, t, yest(t) can be expressed as a weighted sum of the values taken by x. Let's assume that the weights are constant in time (i.e., they are not a function of the time instant t: the estimation is time invariant), therefore we write the estimated signal as the convolution
+12To obtain a causal Volterra's series, the integrals in equation 2.29 have to range from 0 to +. 13It is called also Wiener-Kolmogorov filter.

+
+The Wiener filter hx2y14 gives the weights of the sum (that is the integral on time): it
+
+determines how strongly, and with what sign, the value of the input x in (t -  ) contribute
+
+to the value of the output in t. Since we are dealing with real signals, the integral does
+
+not range from minus to plus infinity (as in equation 2.29) but it is restricted over the
+
+time interval where the signals are defined (from 0 to T , the length of the trial). Note that
+
+in equation 2.30 (and hereafter) the signal x(t) is defined with its mean value subtracted
+
+out15 (that is

+
+and
+
+compensates for the mean subtraction done on x and it also accounts for any background
+
+output activity we could have when x = 0.
+
+The filter hx2yis chosen to minimize the mean (over the duration of the trial, T ) squared distance (MSD) between the original signal, y, and the estimated one, yest:

+
+spectral density of x, Sxx(). Since the mean value of x is zero, the convolution theorem (i.e., f  g = k f~g~) implies that the mean value of the kernel, hx2y, is zero. Note that the Wiener kernel can be seen also as the transfer function of the linear time-
+invariant system made by the input x and the output y.
+
+To have a more clear idea of what the kernel represents suppose that the input x(t) is an
+
+uncorrelated signal (i.e., its autocorrelation is a delta function: Qxx( ) = k( )), as in the
+
+case of white noise, and the output is a firing rate y = r(t). Thus, from equation 2.33, we
+
+obtain:
+
+hx2r( )
+
+=
+
+Qrx(- ) k
+
+=
+
+r C( ) ,
+k
+
+(2.35)
+
+where C( ) is the STA and the last equality follows from equation 2.28. Therefore in case
+
+of white-noise input and spike train output, the first Wiener kernel is proportional to the
+
+spike-triggered average18. On the other hand, if the input is an uncorrelated firing rate,
+
+r(t), (which tends to happen at low rates), Qrr( ) = r (t), the equation for the Wiener
+
+kernel becomes:
+
+hx2r( )
+
+=
+
+Qry( ) r
+
+=
+
+C(- ).
+
+(2.36)
+
+We conclude this section by noting that comparing equations 2.36 and 2.33 we can have a better insight on the difference between the STA and the Wiener kernel when performing a decoding task. In particular, the numerator in equation 2.33 reproduces the STA in equation 2.36, thus the role of the denominator in the expression of the Wiener kernel is to correct for the autocorrelation in the response spike train. Indeed such autocorrelation introduce a bias in the decoding, which is removed by using the Wiener kernel. Note that, when the input is a firing rate, the convolution in equation 2.30 translates into a simple rule: every time a spike appears, we replace it with the kernel.
+
+Causality in the estimation
+
+The linear estimation performed by using equation 2.30 is not causal in general, indeed
+
+the argument of the kernel can range over negative values. The simplest way to force the estimation of y to be causal is to set the kernel equal to 0 for negative values19 (i.e.,
+
+hx2y(t) = 0 for t < 0), or, equivalently, to restrict the interval of integration in equation
+
+2.30:
+
+t
+yecsatusal(t) = y0 + d hx2y(t -  )x( ).
+0
+
+(2.37)
+
+18More in general, when the input is not a white-noise, it is possible to demonstrate that the kernel hx2y is
+proportional to the input that gives rise to the highest estimated output yest. 19Note that, in this case, the restricted kernel is no longer the optimal kernel.
+
+42
+
+2.3 Neural encoding and decoding
+
+A complementary procedure useful to implement causality is given by the introduction of
+
+a delay in the filter (Dayan & Abbott 2001). In equation 2.30 we attempt to estimate the
+
+signal y in t by using the values of x over the entire trial length, while in equation 2.37
+
+we use only the value of x prior to the time t. We already mentioned that, when we are
+
+dealing with decoding tasks, the signal y(t) we want to estimate is the stimulus and x(t) is
+
+the elicited response (e.g. spike-train decoding: we attempt to construct an estimation of
+
+the stimulus from the evoked spikes). The stimulus required a finite amount of time 0 to
+
+affect the response, thus, to make the decoding task easier we can introduce a prediction
+
+delay 0 and estimate the stimulus y at time (t - 0) from the values of the response x up
+
+to time t:
+
+t
+yest(t - 0) = y0 + d hx2y(t -  )x( ).
+0
+
+(2.38)
+
+The delay 0 results in the Wiener kernel expression in the following way:

+h~ x2y ()

+(2.40)
+
+Note that, if there is not stimulus autocorrelation, C( ) = 0 for  < 0 (i.e., the filter is zero for  > 0). On the other hand, the causality requires the filter to be zero for  < 0. Therefore, from equation 2.40, it is clear the need for either stimulus autocorrelation or a nonzero prediction delay 0 when x is the stimulus and y the response.

+3 Chapter 3 How synaptic currents shape network dynamics
+In this chapter we investigate in a modelling framework some aspects of the relationship between dynamics at the single-neuron and at the network level. More precisely, we focus on how different features of the synaptic input affect network dynamics as measured by LFPs and average properties across neurons. We already mentioned that models of networks of Leaky Integrate-and-Fire (LIF) neurons are a widely used tool for theoretical investigations of brain functions. These models have been used both with current- and conductance-based synapses (see section 2.1.6 on page 27). However, the differences in the dynamics expressed by these two approaches have been so far mainly studied at the single-neuron level. To investigate how these synaptic models affect network activity, we compared the single-neuron and neural population dynamics of conductance-based networks (COBNs) and current-based networks (CUBNs) of LIF neurons. These networks were endowed with sparse excitatory and inhibitory recurrent connections, and were tested in conditions including both low- and high-conductance states. We developed a novel procedure to obtain comparable networks by properly tuning the synaptic parameters not shared by the models. The so defined comparable networks displayed an excellent and robust match of first order statistics (average single-neuron firing rates and average frequency spectrum of network activity). However, these comparable networks showed profound differences in the second order statistics of neural population interactions and in the modulation of these properties by external inputs. The correlation between inhibitory and excitatory synaptic currents and the cross-neuron correlation between synaptic inputs, membrane potentials and spike trains were stronger and more stimulus-modulated in the COBN. Because of these properties, the spike train correlation
+45
+
+3 How synaptic currents shape network dynamics
+carried more information about the strength of the input in the COBN, although the firing rates were equally informative in both network models. Moreover, the network activity of COBN showed stronger synchronization in the gamma band, and spectral information about the input higher and spread over a broader range of frequencies. These results suggest that the second order statistics of network dynamics depend strongly on the choice of the synaptic model.
+3.1 Introduction
+Networks of Leaky Integrate-and-Fire (LIF) neurons are a key tool for the theoretical investigation of the dynamics of neural circuits. Models of LIF networks express a wide range of dynamical behaviors that resemble several of the dynamical states observed in cortical recordings (see Brunel (2013) for a recent review). An advantage of LIF networks over network models that summarize neural population dynamics with only the density of population activity, such as neural mass models (Deco et al. 2008), is that LIF networks include the dynamics of individual neurons. This allows to investigate at the same time the single-neuron and the network level, and, for example, LIF networks can be used to investigate phenomena, such as the relationships among spikes of different neurons, that are not directly accessible to simplified mass models of network dynamics.
+A basic choice when designing a LIF network is whether the synaptic model is voltagedependent (conductance-based model) or voltage-independent (current-based model). In the former case the synaptic current depends on the driving force, while this does not happen in the current-based model(see section 2.1.6 on page 27). Current-based LIF models are popular because of their relative simplicity (see e.g. Brunel (2013)) and they have the key advantage of facilitating the derivation of analytical closed-form solutions. Thus current-based synapses are convenient for developing mean field models (GrabskaBarwiska & Latham 2014), event based models (Touboul & Faugeras 2011), or firing rate models (Helias et al. 2010, Ostojic & Brunel 2011, Schaffer et al. 2013), as well as in studies examining the stability of neural states (Babadi & Abbott 2010, Mongillo et al. 2012). Moreover, current-based models are often adopted, because of their simplicity, to investigate numerically network-scale phenomena (Memmesheimer 2010, Renart & van Rossum 2012, Gutig et al. 2013, Lim & Goldman 2013, Zhang et al. 2014). On the other hand, conductance-based models are also widely used because they are more biophysically grounded (Kuhn et al. 2004, Meffin et al. 2004). In particular, only conductance-based neurons can reproduce the fact that when the synaptic input is intense, cortical neurons
+46
+
+3.1 Introduction
+display a three- to fivefold decrease in membrane input resistance (thus they enter a highconductance state), as observed in intracellular recordings in vivo (Destexhe et al. 2003). However, an added complication of conductance-based models is that their differential equations can only be evaluated numerically or approximated analytically (Rudolph-Lilith et al. 2012) rather than being fully analytically treatable.
+Despite the widespread use of both types of models, the differences in the network dynamics that they generate has not been yet fully understood. Previous studies comparing conductance- and current-based LIF models focused mostly on the individual neuron dynamics (Kuhn et al. 2004, Meffin et al. 2004, Richardson 2004). Here we extended these previous works by investigating the network level consequences of the synaptic model choice. In particular, we investigated which aspects of network dynamics are independent of the choice of the specific synaptic model, and which are not. Understanding this point is crucial for fully evaluating the costs and implications of adopting a specific synaptic model.
+We compared the dynamics of two sparse recurrent excitatory-inhibitory LIF networks, a conductance-based network (COBN) with conductance-based synapses, and a current-based network (CUBN) with current-based synapses. To properly compare the two networks, we set to equal values all the common parameters (including the connectivity matrix). Building on previous works (La Camera et al. 2004, Meffin et al. 2004), we devised a novel algorithm to obtain two comparable networks by properly tuning the synaptic conductance values of the COBN given the set of values of synaptic efficacies of the CUBN. Since the differences between the dynamics of the two synaptic models depend on the fluctuations of the driving force (i.e., of the membrane potential), they should be close to zero when the synaptic activity is low. Thus, when decreasing the background synaptic activity, the Post-Synaptic Currents (PSCs) of the two models should become more and more similar. Consequently, our procedure calibrated the conductances so that PSCs became exactly equal in the limit of zero synaptic input (see section 3.2.6 on page 58). Then we investigated whether this procedure could generate COBNs and CUBNs with matching average single-neuron stationary firing rates under a reasonably wide range of parameters and network stimulation conditions. We then studied how comparable conductance- and current- based networks differed in more complex characterizations of population dynamics, such as the cross-neuron correlations of membrane potential (MP), input current and spike train, as well as the spectrum of network fluctuations. The latter was investigated not only for total average firing rates, but also for the simulated Local Field Potential (LFP) computed from the massed synaptic activity of the networks (Mazzoni et al. 2008). To study the spectrum of network fluctuations it is useful to use a LFP model (rather than a massed spike rate) mainly because cortical rhythms are more easily measured in
+47
+
+3 How synaptic currents shape network dynamics
+experiments by recording LFPs rather than the spike rate (Buzsaki et al. 2012, Einevoll et al. 2013); therefore this quantification makes the models more directly comparable to experimental observations. We then quantified how the external inputs modulate the firing rate, the LFP spectrum and the spike train correlation by using information theory (Quiroga & Panzeri 2009, Crumiller et al. 2011). Finally, we discuss the similarities and differences of COBN and CUBN against recent experimental observations of dynamics of cortical network correlations (Lampl et al. 1999, Kohn & Smith 2005, De La Rocha et al. 2007, Okun & Lampl 2008, Ecker et al. 2010, Renart et al. 2010).
+3.2 Methods
+3.2.1 Network structure and external inputs
+We considered two networks of LIF neurons with identical architecture and injected with identical external inputs. The only difference between the two networks was in the synaptic model: one was composed by neurons with conductance-based synapses and the other by neurons with current-based synapses (see section 2.1.6 on page 27). The network structure we adopt was already used in other works such as (Brunel & Wang 2003, Mazzoni et al. 2008, 2011). Each network was composed of 5000 neurons. Eighty percent of the neurons were excitatory, that is their projections onto other neurons formed AMPA-like excitatory synapses, while the remaining 20% were inhibitory, that is their projections formed (A-type) GABA-like inhibitory synapses. The 4:1 ratio is compatible with anatomical observations (Braitenberg & Sch�z 1991). The network had random connectivity with a probability of directed connection between each pair of neurons of 0.2 (Sjostrom et al. 2001, Holmgren et al. 2003), thus any neuron in the network received on average 200 synaptic contacts from inhibitory neurons and 800 from excitatory neurons (see figure 3.1). Both populations received a noisy excitatory external input taken to represent the activity from thalamocortical afferents, with inhibitory neurons receiving stronger inputs than excitatory neurons. This simulated external input was implemented as a series of spike times that activated excitatory synapses with the same kinetics as recurrent AMPA synapses, but different strengths
+The input spike trains activating the model thalamocortical synapses were generated by a Poisson process, with a time varying rate, ext(t), identical for all neurons. Note that this implied that the variance of the inputs across neurons increased with the input rate. ext(t) was given by the positive part of the superposition of a "signal", signal(t), and a

+"noise" component , n(t):
+
+ext(t) = [signal(t) + n(t)]+
+
+(3.1)
+
+The separation of signal and noise in the input spike rate was to reproduce the classical experimental design in which a given sensory stimulus is presented many times, with each presentation (or "trial") eliciting different responses due to variations in intrinsic network dynamics from presentation to presentation. We achieved this by identifying the external stimulus with the signal term, signal(t), (which was thus exactly the same across all trials of the same stimulus) and by using a noise term, n(t), generated (as explained below) independently in each trial.
+
+In this study we used three kinds of external signals. For the majority of the simulations we used constant stimuli, signal(t) = 0, (with 0 ranging from 1.5 to 6 spikes/ms). In a second set of simulations we used periodic stimuli made by superimposing a constant baseline term to a sinusoid: signal(t) = A sin(2f t) + 0, where A = 0.6 spikes/ms; f ranged from 2 to 16 Hz in figure 3.17 and from 2 to 150 Hz in figure 3.18 and 0 was set to 1.5 (respectively 5) spikes/ms when studying the low- (respectively high-) conductance state. We also used a time varying signal, called "naturalistic", that reproduced the time course of Multi Unit Activity recorded from the LGN of an anesthetized macaque during binocular presentation of commercially available color movies(Belitski et al. 2008). More precisely, the MUA was measured as the absolute value of the high pass filtered (400�3000 Hz)
+
+49
+
+3 How synaptic currents shape network dynamics
+
+extracellular signal recorded from an electrode placed in the LGN while the monkey was presented binocularly a color movie (we refer to Rasch et al. 2008 for full details on experimental methods). The MUA measured in this way is thought to represent a weighted average of the extracellular spikes of all neurons within a sphere of <140�300 mm around the tip of the electrode (Logothetis 2003), and thus gives a good idea of the spike rate fluctuations of a patch of geniculate input to cortex during viewing of natural stimuli. We took 40 consecutive seconds of LGN MUA recordings during movie presentation, we divided it into 20 non-overlapping intervals of 2 seconds (ideally corresponding to different movie scenes) following the procedure used in (Belitski et al. 2008), and each interval was considered as a different visual stimulus. For the purposes of the present work, it is mainly useful to remind that the naturalistic input was a slow signal dominated by frequencies below 4 Hz.
+
+The noise component of the stimuli, n(t), was generated by an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (OU) process with zero mean:
+
+dn(t)
+
+
+
+n dt = -n(t) + n( 2n)(t),
+
+(3.2)
+
+where (t) is a Gaussian white noise. n2=0.16 spikes/ms is the (stationary, that is for t  ) variance of the noise, while the stationary mean is 0. The time constant n was set to 16 ms to have a cutoff frequency of 10 Hz. The OU process is a stationary, Gaussian, and Markovian process we chose for the two following reasons:
+
+� the power spectrum, which is flat up to the cutoff frequency and then it decays as f -2. Therefore it does not diverge and it has the highest power spectral density in the low frequencies, in agreement with what found in the background activity of the cortex (Mazzoni et al. 2011)
+
+� It is a mean-reverting process. Indeed, the drift term is not constant (since it depends on the value assumed by the process) and it always tends to drift the variable towards its long-term mean (0 in our case).
+
+Note that the trial-to-trial differences in the stochastic process generated by equation 3.2 were the first and largest source of trial-to-trial variability in the model (that is the variability at fixed stimulus, see section 2.2.1 on page 31), the second and last being the fact that each neuron received an independent realization of the Poisson process with rate ext(t).
+In a specific set of control stimulations (figure 3.15), instead of the OU process described above, we used a Gaussian white noise with the same variance. Note that, for low
+
+50
+
+3.2 Methods
+frequencies, the power spectrum of the OU process was higher than the one of the white noise.
+
+3.2.2 Single-neuron models
+
+Both inhibitory and excitatory neurons were modeled as (LIF) neurons (see section 2.1.6
+
+on page 26). The leak membrane potential, Vleak, was set to -70 mV, the spike threshold, Vthreshold, to -52 mV and the reset potential, Vreset, to -59 mV. The absolute refractory period was set to 2 ms for excitatory neurons and to 1 ms for inhibitory neurons (Brunel
+
+& Wang 2003). Since we had no current injected into the neuron through an electrode, the
+
+equation for the sub-threshold dynamic of the MP of i-th neuron (see equation 2.12) took

The latter was given by the sum of all the synaptic inputs entering the i-th

+
+By looking at equation 3.9 we can have a new insight about the differences between the two synaptic models. Indeed, by comparing equation 3.9 (for the conductance-based neurons) with equation 2.14 (for the current-based model), we see that the former case differs from the latter essentially because of:
+
+53
+
+3 How synaptic currents shape network dynamics
+� the leak conductance Gleak has been replaced by the total conductance Gtot(t)  Gleak, which is a function of the synaptic input to the neuron
+� the membrane time constant m has been replaced by the effective membrane time constant eff (t)  m, which is a function of the synaptic input to the neuron
+As a consequence of the variability in the total conductance, Gtot(t), the conductance-based neurons can switch from low- to high-conductance states (Destexhe et al. 2003) and vice versa. In particular, when the network activity increases, the neurons tend to move towards high-conductance states (see equation 3.8 and figure 3.5) and vice versa.
+3.2.3 Numerical methods
+Network simulations were done using a finite difference integration scheme based on the second-order Runge Kutta algorithm (Press et al. 1992), also known as the midpoint method, with time step t = 0.05 ms. The noise, n(t), was obtained from equation 3.2 by implementing an exact numerical simulation of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process(Gillespie 1996). The temporal durations of the simulations varied from 4.5 s to 100.5 s, and they are specified in the figure captions. The regimes we investigated displayed average firing rates relatively low (0.4�13 Hz), thus, when computing the Inter-Spike Interval (ISI) and the pairwise spike train correlation, we used the longest simulation times (25.5 and 100.5 s) to obtain larger spike datasets. Since we studied stationary responses, the first 500 ms of the simulations were never included in any analysis. Analysis and simulations (the latter implemented using MEX file) were performed in Matlab. Both COBN and CUBN model source codes are available on the ModelDB sharing repository (http://senselab.med.yale.edu/ModelDB/ShowModel. asp?model=152539) with accession number 152539.
+3.2.4 Spectral analysis
+To compute the power spectrum we used the Fast Fourier Transform with the Welch method (pwelch function in Matlab), dividing the time window under investigation into eight subwindows with 50% overlap. For the entrainment analysis showed in figure 3.18 in case of periodic inputs with frequency f , we bandpassed the LFP at the correspondent frequency f with a Kaiser filter with zero phase lag and 2 Hz bandwidth, very small passband ripple (0.05 dB) and high stopband attenuation (60 dB). We extracted then the instantaneous phase by means of the Hilbert
+54
+
+3.2 Methods
+transform of the signal. To quantify entrainment, we computed the phase coherence between the phase of the input signal and of the LFP at the corresponding frequency (Mormann et al. 2000). Phase coherence, which we computed using the CircStat toolbox (Berens 2009), ranges from zero (no relationships between phases) to 1 (perfect phase locking between the two signals).
+3.2.5 LFP as a measure of network-level dynamics
+A very common way to track network dynamics, that are dynamics due to the overall integrative processes of networks of neurons, is by means of a signal called local field potential. LFPs are obtained by low pass filtering an extracellularly recorded signal (called extracellular field potentials), which represents the electric activity resulting from the neuronal processes of cells close to the recording site (Belitski et al. 2008). More precisely, from a theoretical point of view, the neurons are placed in an extracellular medium, which acts as a conductor, with a specific impedance3 ( 200 - 400 /cm depending on the neuronal site, Ranck (1963, 1966), Mitzdorf (1985), Nicholson & Freeman (1975)) higher than the one of a saline solution ( 65 /cm). This high impedance reflects the fact that ion moves around cells in a very limited space. In the extracellular recording, the inflow of positive ions (mainly Na+) inside a neuron, through an active regions of the membrane, corresponds to an inward current and the active region to a current sink. When the current flows inside the neurons, for the continuity equation of electric charge, the inactive regions of the membrane act as sources of charge for the active regions (that is, through the inactive regions outward currents will flow). The superposition of currents from all sinks and sources, due to the impedance of the extracellular medium, elicits an electric field called extracellular field potential (EFP). To obtain EFPs actually useful to investigate network dynamics (i.e., dynamics due to a population of neurons), the measurement is done with an electrode (or pipette) with a sufficiently low impedance and whose tip is not too close to the spike generation site of a single neuron (in order to to avoid that the action potentials from the single neuron prevail on the overall neuronal signal). The EFPs recorded in this way collect both integrative processes due to the dendritic/synaptic activity of neurons and spikes fired from a groups of neurons in the proximity of the recording site. These two different contributions can be reliably segregated by frequency band separation. In particular, with a low pass filter (with a cutoff around 200 Hz) we obtain LFP, while, a high pass filter cutoff of  500 Hz is used in most recordings to obtain the multi-unit
+3The impedance of the cerebral cortex is isotropic and independent on the signal frequency (Ranck 1963, Logothetis et al. 2007), therefore it should not affect the oscillations and the power spectral density of the recorded signal.

+
+3 How synaptic currents shape network dynamics
+
+activity. From MUA we can then extract the spiking activity of small neural populations in a sphere of 100�300 �m radius, and, by performing a spike sorting, even of single (or few) neuron (i.e., the single-unit activity) (Logothetis 2008).
+The LFP reflects the perisynaptic activity of a neural population, which, to have an idea can be within 0.5-3 mm from the electrode tip. The size of the neural population is debated and depends on both the method used to measure it and on the kind of electrode used. In general, the slow oscillations seem to be correlated on higher distances than the fast oscillations, thus depending on neurons located in a larger area. LFP is thought to be given by a weighted sum of all the potential changes close to the electrode, which depends on the current flows in the extracellular space. The latter, in turn, are related to all the integrative subthreshold processes. These processes are not only due to synaptic activity (i.e., synaptic potentials), but also to other types of slow oscillations, like voltage-dependent membrane oscillations4 and spike afterpotentials5, in areas such as the dendritic trees, not accessible by the spiking activity of few neurons. In conclusion, the LFP does not reflect the output of a cortical area, but rather the synaptic and dendritic processes and the local processing of the signal in the cortex (Logothetis 2008).
+
+3.2.5.1 Computation of simulated LFP
+
+We computed from network activity the LFP by using a procedure that has been proposed in previous works (Mazzoni et al. 2008, 2010). More precisely, we computed the simulated LFP as the difference between the sum of the GABA currents and the sum of the AMPA currents (both external and recurrent) that enter all excitatory neurons. This quantity was then divided by the leak membrane conductance to obtain units of mV:

+
+As explained above in detail, LFPs are experimentally obtained by low-pass filtering the
+extracellularly recorded neural signal, and are thought to reflect to a first approximation
+the current flow due to synaptic activity around the tip of the recording electrode (Buzsaki
+et al. 2012). The simple recipe in equation 3.11, we used to model that current flow, was
+motivated by two well-known geometrical properties of cortical circuits (see figure 3.2).
+4They are variations of the membrane potential due to the opening/closing of membrane channel, which, in turn, is regulated by the membrane potential value.
+5More precisely, the soma-dendritic spike afterpotential indicates a brief depolarization, followed by a longer lasting hyperpolarization. It generally happen after a soma-dendritic spike in the neurons of central nervous system and have a duration on the orders of 10s of milliseconds.

+Figure 3.2: Schematic of the computation of the simulated LFP. The arrows indicate the direction of the flow of positive charges (i.e., cations) in the extracellular medium due to GABA (blue) and AMPA synaptic currents (red arrows). Left side: representation of a pyramidal neuron in an open field configuration with excitatory synapses (AMPA) on apical dendrites and inhibitory synapses (GABA) close to the soma. We computed the simulated LFP as the GABA currents minus the AMPA currents because the pyramidal neurons are usually in an open field configuration thus the dipoles generated by excitatory and inhibitory currents sum with the same sign along the dendrite (remember that, by convention, inhibitory currents are positive and excitatory currents negative, see equation 2.2). Right side: we summed only currents from synapses of pyramidal neurons because, due to their approximate open field arrangement, they contribute to LFP more than interneurons, which instead have a much less regular dendritic spatial organization. Therefore, the contribution from different interneurons tend to cancel out each other. (Source: (Mazzoni et al. 2011))
+57
+
+3 How synaptic currents shape network dynamics
+First, AMPA synapses tend to be apical, i.e., they contact the dendrites away from the soma, while GABA synapses tend to be peri-somatic, i.e., they contact the soma or the dendrites close to the soma. Because of this spatial arrangement, the sink and sources of the flow of cations resulting from the activation of both AMPA and GABA synapses will tend to produce in the extracellular field a dipole oriented from apical dendrites toward soma; hence we computed the LFP by subtracting6 the AMPA currents from the GABA currents (divided by the leak membrane conductance). Second, pyramidal neurons contribute more than interneurons to generation of LFPs in cortex because (i) they are bigger than interneurons eliciting stronger action potentials, furthermore (ii) their apical dendrites are organized in an approximate open field configuration (Johnston & Wu 1995, Logothetis 2003), thus the contribution of each pyramidal neuron sum up to each other (see figure 3.2). On the other hand, in the interneurons, due to their star-shaped dendrites and their geometrical disorder, contributions from each cell are smaller and tend to cancel out each other (Lorente de NO 1947, Murakami & Okada 2006, Linden et al. 2011). Therefore, we computed LFPs by considering only input currents to excitatory neurons (taken here to correspond to cortical pyramidal neurons). Note that this model neglects all the contribution to the LFP not due to synaptic potentials and does not assume any dependencies of the contributions from different neurons on the topology of the network (indeed there are not weights in the summation in equation 3.11). Nevertheless, though simple, it proved to be an effective way to generate a realistic LFP signal that match many characteristics of LFPs in sensory cortex (Mazzoni et al. 2010, 2011, 2008).
+3.2.6 Procedure to determine comparable current- and conductance-based models
+As mentioned above all the parameters that were directly shared between the two models were set equal; also the connectivity matrix was the same in the CUBN and in the COBN. The starting point of our comparison was to completely define the CUBN, by specifying the synaptic efficacies, Jsyn (reported in table (3.2)), as well as the values of the common set of parameters. Then, we computed the synaptic parameters of the COBN that made it comparable to the given CUBN. To simplify the problem, we first set the reversal potentials of the COBN to biophysically plausible values: VAMP A = 0 mV and VGABA = -80 mV (as reference values, but we also tested other values, see figure 3.8C,D, 3.9D). The "free"
+6Remember that, by convention, inhibitory currents are positive and excitatory currents negative, see equation 2.2.
+58
+
+3.2 Methods
+
+parameters now left to set were only the COBN conductances (Gsyn in equation 3.6).
+The procedure used to obtain the conductance values leading to comparable COBN and CUBN is illustrated in figure 3.3 and described in the following. Consistent with the fact that the effective membrane time constant of the COBN is equal to the membrane time constant of the CUBN only in absence of synaptic input (see equation 3.10), we set the conductances of each synapse type to obtain the same PSCs as in the corresponding current-based synapse in the limit of no synaptic activity. Explicitly, for each synapse type:
+
+Gsyn = ( V
+
+Jsyn
+
+,
+
+pop - Vsyn)
+
+(3.12)
+
+where V pop was the average (over time and neurons) MP of excitatory and inhibitory populations obtained from network simulation of 4.5 s with a constant external input of 1.5 (spikes/ms)/cell. This last value was chosen because it was the lowest stimulus used throughout the paper, i.e., the one that induced the lowest synaptic activity. Since V pop depended on Gsyn, we determined both values numerically and recursively. We used as first guess the average MP obtained with the CUBN, we computed the associated conductances with equation 3.12, we ran a COBN simulation with those conductances and then we used the resulting V pop to compute the updated conductances, until V pop (and consequently the conductances) reached a stable value (see figure 3.3). Note that convergence was very fast: stability within a tolerance on average MPs of 0.01 mV was achieved usually in less than 10 steps. By using equation 3.12, we rewrote the equation 3.6 as follows:
+
+IsCyOnBN (t) = Jsynssyn(t)
+
+V (t) - 1+
+
+V
+
+pop
+
+V pop - Vsyn
+
+.
+
+(3.13)
+
+Comparing equation 3.13 with equation 3.5 it is clear that the synaptic currents of the two networks are the same only when V (t) = V pop, that is in the limit of no synaptic input.
+Conductance-based neurons can undergo transitions from low- to high-conductance states (Destexhe et al. 2001) and the simulations performed in this work included both states. However, current-based neurons cannot undergo such transitions and their membrane time constant is close to the effective membrane time constant of conductance-based neurons in a low-conductance state (see figure 3.5A). Therefore, the correspondence between the two models that we defined is consistent with the physiologically-meaningful requirement that the differences between the two synaptic models decrease with synaptic activity (Destexhe et al. 2003).

+Figure 3.3: Procedure to set the synaptic conductances of the COBN. The flowchart illustrates the iterative algorithm we used to set the synaptic conductances, Gsyn, such in a way to obtain a COBN comparable with the given CUBN. The two networks shared all the common parameters, so, once the CUBN was given, the synaptic conductances depended only on the synaptic reversal potentials of the COBN, Vsyn.

+3.2.7 Computation of the average post-synaptic potentials in the conductance-based network
+Modeling the synaptic input as conductance transients produces an activity-dependent increase of membrane conductance (that is a reduction of effective membrane time constant, see equation 3.10) which attenuates and shortens the Post-Synaptic Potentials (PSPs) (Destexhe & Pare 1999). In order to extract the average (activity-dependent) PSPs of the COBN we used a procedure similar to the one used in (Kumar et al. 2008): for each synapse type (see table 3.3) we randomly selected 300 neurons from the network and we made a copy of them. These "cloned" neurons received the synaptic input of the original ones and had exactly the same spiking activity. The only difference with respect to the original is that the cloned neurons received an extra spike, from the synapse under investigation, each 100 ms (except for the first 500 ms), for a total of 100 PSPs for each cloned neuron (i.e., simulations lasted 10.5 s). We subtracted then the MP of the original neurons from the one of the cloned neurons and, by doing a spike triggered average over time and selected neurons, we obtained the average effective PSP.
+3.2.8 Computation of correlations among signals in the networks
+We quantified the effects of the choice of the synaptic model on the cross-neuron correlation in time. We computed the cross-neuron pairwise Pearson's correlation coefficient of the time course of AMPA currents and of GABA currents entering the neurons, MPs and spike trains. The spike trains were binned in non-overlapping time windows of 5 ms and their correlation coefficients were averaged over all neuron pairs of the network (figure 3.14A-C). Time courses of the other variables were expressed with the original time steps of 0.05 ms and the correlation was estimated averaging the correlation coefficients over all neurons' pairs obtained from two randomly selected subpopulations of 200 excitatory and 200 inhibitory neurons (figure 3.12).
+We measured also the average correlation between the time course of AMPA and GABA currents entering each single-neuron. In particular, we computed the normalized crosscorrelation between AMPA and GABA currents entering each neuron belonging to the two subpopulations of 200 neurons above mentioned. Then we averaged (over the neurons) the peak value and the peak position, i.e., the time lag for which the correlation was strongest (figure 3.10).

+
+3 How synaptic currents shape network dynamics
+3.2.9 Computation of information about the external inputs
+We introduced the notion of mutual information in section 2.2.1 on page 31. Here we only specify some details of the information computation performed in this context. As explained above, we used three kinds of external input signals: constant input (figures 3.4-3.16), periodic input (figures 3.17, 3.18) and a naturalistic input (figure 3.19). In the constant input case, each input rate, 0, was considered a different stimulus (with simulations lasting 25.5 s), while, for the periodic stimuli, each stimulus corresponds to a frequency f (with simulations lasting 10.5 s). In the naturalistic case, the stimulus presentation time (80 s) was divided into 2 s long non-overlapping windows and each window was considered as a different "stimulus" for the information calculation, following the procedure described in (Belitski et al. 2008). We discarded an interval at the beginning of the simulations (500 ms both for constant and periodic case and 2 s for the naturalistic case) to avoid artifacts due to initial conditions. When computing information we considered three different response sets R: the average network firing rate, the average cross-neuron spike train correlation, and the LFP power of each single frequency (Belitski et al. 2008) in the (1�150) Hz range. To facilitate the sampling of response probabilities, the whole range of response values was divided into six consecutive intervals. Each of these intervals contained the same number of responses (i.e., they were equi-populated). All the responses belonging to a given interval assumed then the same interval-specific discrete value. In summary, we discretized the responses into six equi-populated bins. Then conditional probabilities P (r|s) were evaluated empirically by using the results from 50 trials per each stimulus s. We corrected information estimations for the limited sampling bias (Panzeri et al. 2007) by using the "quadratic extrapolation procedure" described in (Strong et al. 1998) implemented in the Information Breakdown Toolbox (Magri et al. 2009).
+3.3 Results
+We investigated the differences in the dynamics of neural populations between conductancebased LIF networks (COBNs) and current-based LIF networks (CUBNs), with particular emphasis in understanding how the neural population activity of these two types of network is modulated by external inputs. We first introduced an iterative procedure to determine synaptic parameter values so that the CUBN and the COBN were placed on a fair common ground, and could therefore be legitimately compared. We then analyzed similarities and differences of single-neuron dynamics and of interactions among neurons in the two networks as a function of strength and nature of the external stimuli.

+3.3.1 Determining synaptic parameter values to build comparable currentand conductance-based networks
+A necessary requirement to compare the activity of two different network models is to define a meaningful and sound correspondence between them. Our first step was thus to define a procedure to achieve comparable networks. In brief, we set all the common parameters to exactly equal (and biologically plausible) values in both models. In this way the two models differed only because of the different synaptic model adopted: voltage-independent for CUBN (see equation 3.5) and voltage-dependent for COBN (see equation 3.6). In particular, the expression of the Post-Synaptic Currents (PSCs) in the COBN depended on conductances Gsyn and on reversal potentials (VAMP A and VGABA), while in the CUBN the PSCs depended only on synaptic efficacies Jsyn. We set VAMP A and VGABA at 0 and -80 mV respectively (but importantly our results were robust to changes in these parameters, see figures 3.8C,D, 3.9D). We then used an iterative algorithm (detailed in section 3.2.6 on page 58 and illustrated in figure 3.3) to set the values of the conductances Gsyn of the COBN in such a way to obtain a COBN comparable to the CUBN with the given synaptic efficacies Jsyn.
+The PSCs and the Post-Synaptic Potentials (PSPs) of recurrent AMPA and GABA synapses in the comparable networks are shown in figures 3.4A,B,D,E for three different cases: current-based synapse, conductance-based synapse of a single neuron without background synaptic activity and conductance-based synapse of neurons embedded in the COBN network (that thus received background synaptic activity). The post-synaptic kinetics of conductance-based neurons is activity dependent. The terms that mediate this dependency are: the driving force (see equation 3.6) and the increase of the total effective membrane conductance (see equation 3.8). Both these terms tend to reduce the post-synaptic stimulus, but the PSCs are affected only by the driving force, while the PSPs by both the driving force and the effective membrane conductance. To understand how these two terms shape the post-synaptic stimulus, it is important to compare post-synaptic responses of conductance-based neurons, with and without background activity. Firstly, we compared PSCs and PSPs of the current-based synapse with those of the conductance-based synapse in the absence of background activity. In this condition the shape of excitatory PSCs and PSPs was almost identical for the two models when considering AMPA synapses (figures 3.4A,D), while, for GABA synapses, differences between the two models were visible (figures 3.4A,D). This asymmetry was due to the fact that the value of the average MP (see figure caption) was much closer to the reversal potential of GABA synapses than to the one of AMPA synapses (see equation 3.13). Consequently the relative reduction of driving

+force during the post-synaptic event was higher for GABA synapses, provoking a stronger reduction of both PSCs and PSPs, with respect to the AMPA synapses (figures 3.4B,E). Moreover, the PSPs of fast synapses (that is synapses with short d) are less affected by synaptic bombardment (Koch 1999, Kuhn et al. 2004), so, being the AMPA d shorter than the GABA ones (see table 3.1), the asymmetry was even stronger when looking at the PSPs (figures 3.4D,E). Secondly, we considered the conductance-based neurons embedded in the COBN and we found that in this case both AMPA and GABA synapses displayed a reduction in the amplitude and in the timescale, because the background network activity affected the time course of the MP (thus of the driving force) and increased the total effective membrane conductance.
+As stated above, differences between the two synaptic models were expected to increase with input strength because the background synaptic activity increases. We measured this effect by injecting in the network constant inputs ranging from 1.5 to 6 (spikes/ms)/cell. Figures 3.4C,F show the amplitude of the different PSCs and PSPs as a function of the external input rate. Note that the PSCs (figure 3.4C) and PSPs (figure 3.4F) in the CUBN were activity-independent by construction, while, in the COBN, both PSCs and PSPs decreased substantially when input rate was increased; furthermore the relative reduction was the strongest for the slowest PSPs of GABA synapses (as stated above). Table 3.4 reports average PSP amplitude values on both inhibitory and excitatory neurons.
+Figure 3.4 shows that, in the COBN, PSPs were not only smaller but also faster than in the CUBN, consistently with previous results (Kuhn et al. 2004, Meffin et al. 2004). This reflected the decrease of the effective membrane time constant, eff , of the COBN, whose average value is shown in figure 3.5A as a function of the input rate. When injecting stimuli with high input rates, we found that for both neuron populations the effective time constant, eff , was in the 1�5 ms range, matching experimental observations relative to the high-conductance states (Destexhe et al. 2003).
+We then asked how the effective conductances associated with the AMPA and GABA currents varied in the COBN as a function of the input rate. We found (figure 3.5B) that the average conductances grew linearly with input rate, as observed in single-neuron case(Kuhn et al. 2004). Crucially, for high input rates, the relative conductances GAMP A/Gleak and GGABA/Gleak displayed values respectively close to 1 and 3.5, in the range of those found experimentally in high-conductance states (Destexhe et al. 2003). This suggested that our input range was suited to investigate the whole continuum going from low- to high-conductance states.

+3.3.2 Average single-neuron properties
+After having examined the properties of PSPs and conductances in the two comparable networks, we began investigating how these properties affect the dynamics of neural activity in the networks. To gain some visual intuition about this, we plotted (figure 3.6) example traces of how variables reflecting single-neuron and network activity evolve over time for the two types of network both in the low- and high-conductance state. The overall spike rate of individual neurons was similar for the two networks in both lowand high-conductance state (compare panels 3.6A with 3.6C and panels 3.6B with 3.6D) suggesting that the level of network firing was only mildly dependent on the synaptic model adopted. On the other hand, single-neuron MP traces were similar in the two networks in the low-conductance regime (compare panels 3.6E with 3.6G), but different in many aspects in the high-conductance regime (compare panels 3.6F with 3.6H). In particular,
+67
+
+3 How synaptic currents shape network dynamics
+in the high-conductance state, the COBN MPs had rapid gamma-range variations which were correlated across neurons and whose amplitude was more prominent than that of the gamma oscillations in the CUBN MPs, suggesting that the oscillation regime in the high-conductance state was tighter in the COBN than in the CUBN. Finally, we considered the traces of the LFP (which can potentially capture both supra- and sub- threshold massed neural dynamics). LFP traces were relatively similar across networks in the lowconductance state (figure 3.6I). However, there was an interesting qualitative difference in the LFP traces in the high-conductance state: the COBN LFP had transient peaks of very high amplitude, which were not observed in the CUBN. At fixed level of overall firing rate, the amplitude of the LFP is modulated by the relative timing of the synaptic events contributing to it. Therefore this observation suggests that the COBN may undergo larger fluctuations in synchronization than the CUBN. The visual inspection of example traces suggests that, while some network properties such as overall firing rate are consistently close in the two networks, other more subtle aspects of network dynamics (such as the ability of the network to transiently synchronize its activity) may not be entirely equivalent in the two networks, especially in the high-conductance state. In the following we will systematically quantify this intuition.
+An important feature of the models is the dynamics of the average (over time and neurons) of the total synaptic input current Itot (equation 3.4). We observed in both networks (figure 3.7A) an increase of Itot with the input rate (Pearson correlation test, p < 10-5). However, Itot was significantly higher for the CUBN over all inspected inputs (t-test p 10-10). The net input current Itot was also less modulated by the input rate in the COBN: the difference between the current (divided by the leak membrane conductance) at maximum and minimum input was 1 mV for COBN and 15 mV for CUBN. Even if the firing rate was very similar in the two networks (see figure 3.8A), average GABA currents were weaker in COBN, while average AMPA currents were very similar (see figure 3.7B). This discrepancy in the dynamics of the net input current was due to the fact that individual PSCs of GABA currents were more affected (i.e., reduced) by the change from CUBN to COBN with respect to the AMPA PSCs, as pointed out in figure 3.4. Note also that in the case of external AMPA current, the spike trains that activated the synapses (more precisely the function s(t) in equations 3.5 and 3.6) are exactly the same in the two models, while they were different for the other currents.
+Consistent with the sample traces shown in figures 3.6G,H, the average MP of the CUBN decreased steeply when we increased the input (-15 mV between maximum and minimum input, figure 3.7D). This is due to the fact that, in the CUBN, the net input current strongly increased when increasing the external inputs (figure 3.7A). Conversely, and consistently

The synaptic currents in panels (A�C) are divided by the leak membrane conductance to obtain units of mV . Results are qualitatively very similar when considering inhibitory neurons [see "MP" and "time(MP)" in table 3.4]. We studied separately the average over time and the standard deviation over time of the variables by using a simulation of 10.5 s per stimulus. Shaded areas correspond to standard deviation across neurons. (A) Average total synaptic input current in CUBN (thick line) and COBN (thin line with markers) as a function of the external input rate.

(C) Average (over neurons) standard deviation in time of the total input current in the two networks as a function of the input rate.

For reference, the panel shows also threshold potential (cyan), reset potential (green) and leak membrane potential (black). (E) Ratio of the decrease of the average MP observed in the two networks when increasing the external inputs as a function of the effective membrane time constant (see figure 3.5A). The decrease in MP is computed for external inputs greater than 2 (spikes/ms)/cell with respect to the average MP obtained with an external input of 2 (spikes/ms)/cell. (F) Average (across neurons) standard deviation over time of the membrane potential in the two networks as a function of the input rate. Shaded area for COBN is not visible because it is too small. Results show that for the COBN both average total input current and membrane potential are almost constant across stimuli, while in the CUBN both quantities change dramatically for different input strengths. Cross-neuron variability of both variables is much higher in the CUBN. In both networks net input current fluctuations become larger when input rate is increased. This is reflected in larger fluctuations in the membrane potential in the CUBN, but not in the COBN. In panels (A,B,D,E) the average values of MP and input currents are computed over time and neurons.

+
+3 How synaptic currents shape network dynamics
+with the sample traces in figures 3.6E,F, the decrease in COBN MP was smaller (-2 mV between maximum and minimum input, figure 3.7D), consistent with previous results (Meffin et al. 2004). It is important to note that an increase of the input current led to an increase the voltage fluctuations in both models. However in the COBN, it caused also a concomitant increase of the membrane conductance, which in turn decreased the membrane voltage fluctuations. The dynamics of MP in COBN thus resulted from the competition between these two effects, which overall produced a suppression of both fluctuations and mean of the MP (Meffin et al. 2004, Kuhn et al. 2004, Richardson 2004). We found that, for external inputs higher than 2 (spikes/ms)/cell, there was a linear relation (R2 = 0.98, p 10-10) between the ratio of the average MP changes induced by the external inputs in the two networks and the effective membrane time constant of the COBN (see figure 3.7E). This result confirmed and extended what found for a single-neuron model in a high-conductance state in (Richardson 2004). Shaded areas in figures 3.7A,D indicate standard deviation across neurons, and show that the cross-neuron variability in both net input currents and MP was much larger in the CUBN than in the COBN, suggesting a more coherent activity for the latter (see section 3.3.6 on page 77).
+When we looked at the variability over time of the input currents, we found that it grew almost linearly and with very similar values for both COBN and CUBN (figure 3.7C), while the increase of the variability over time of the MP was much more pronounced in the CUBN than in the COBN (figure 3.7F). This result is still consistent with the suppression of voltage fluctuations typical of conductance-based model with respect to the current-based one.
+In sum, our findings so far confirmed that dynamics previously observed in simpler conditions were valid also over a more extended range of conditions, proved that the range of input rates considered encompassed both low- and high-conductance regimes, and highlighted some of the differences between the dynamics of COBNs and CUBNs.
+3.3.3 Firing rate modulations
+Having established a procedure that computes comparable CUBN and COBN parameters, and having investigated the synaptic responses in these comparable networks, we next compared the average firing rates of single neurons in the two networks, and studied how they are modulated by the strength of the input to the networks.
+We considered individually the excitatory and inhibitory neural populations since they fired at very different rates (Brunel & Wang 2003). Figure 3.8A shows the way inhibitory

In (A,C,D) the results are obtained from 50 trials of 4.5 s per stimulus, while for the panel (B) we used a single trial of 100.5 s per stimulus (see section 3.2.3 on page 54). Results show that the two models have similar firing rates over the whole input range. This agreement is stable over a wide range of network parameters. On the other hand, the CV of the ISI increases with the input rate in the CUBN, while it does not in the COBN.
+71
+
+3 How synaptic currents shape network dynamics
+and excitatory firing rates increase with the input rate in the two networks. Consistently with the qualitatively intuition gained form the visual inspection of the raster plots in figure 3.6A�D, we found that the discrepancies between COBN and CUBN firing rates were extremely small (average difference over external inputs of 10%), though significant (t-test p < 0.05 except for excitatory neurons with external input rates greater than 4 spikes/ms). This shows that the algorithm used to set comparable networks produces networks whose neurons have similar average firing rates with a similar dependence on the input strength, both in low- and high-conductance states.
+To verify if the agreement of the firing rate in the two comparable networks was robustly achieved over a wide range of parameters, we computed the COBN synaptic conductances for a set of 20 different COBN networks (obtained by using the setting procedure illustrated in figure 3.3 with 20 different combinations of the synaptic reversal potentials, VAMP A, ranging from 0 to -20 mV , and VGABA, ranging from -75 to -90 mV). We then computed the average firing rates for each resulting network. We found that even when VAMP A was -20 mV and VGABA -75 mV , and hence the discrepancies between the two models were stronger, the excitatory neurons firing rate differed between COBN and CUBN at most by 25%, but usually the difference was much smaller, on the order of 10% (figure 3.8C). Note that, given the very low firing rate of excitatory neurons, the relative difference corresponded always to small values of absolute difference (< 0.4 spikes/ms). The difference in the firing rate of the inhibitory neurons between COBN and CUBN were of the order of 10% for all reversal potentials combinations inspected (figure 3.8D).
+These results show that our procedure determines COBNs with firing rates similar to the compared CUBN for a wide range of parameters. In current-based neurons the firing rate is modulated only by the increase in the MP fluctuations (figure 3.7F), while in conductance-based neurons, the firing rate activity is the result of two different competing effects: the shortening of the timescales (figure 3.5A) and the increase of the membrane fluctuations (figure 3.7F), that tend to facilitate the firing activity, and the increase of the effective membrane conductance, that acts in the opposite direction (figure 3.5B) (Kuhn et al. 2004, Meffin et al. 2004, Richardson 2004). It is therefore quite interesting that these underlying different dynamics compensate to produce, in the two corresponding network models, very similar firing rates over a wide range of inputs and parameters.
+We then considered how the coefficient of variation (CV) of the inter-spike interval (ISI) changed with the strength of the input rate. We found (figure 3.8B) that the two networks showed a very different dependence of CV on input rates. The ISI CV of neurons of the COBN was close to one for all considered input rates (indicating near-Poisson firing
+72
+
+3.3 Results
+statistics). In contrast, in CUBN, the ISI CV was higher than 1 (i.e., the firing was more variable than that of a Poisson process) and increased with the input rate, reaching values up to 1.33 and 1.16 for inhibitory neurons and excitatory neurons respectively, confirming results of (Meffin et al. 2004). The difference between the CVs of neurons in COBN and CUBN was highly significant (t-test, p < 10-7) for all input rates above 1.5 spikes/ms. The larger ISI CV of neurons in COBN was consistent with our finding of larger MP fluctuations in time in the COBN (figure 3.7F). ISI CV values were within the experimentally observed range 0.5�1.5 for both networks, but only the COBN reproduced the experimental result that the ISI CV of cortical neurons is not affected by the firing rate (Maimon & Assad 2009).
+The discrepancy between the similarity of the firing rates and the dissimilarity of the ISI CVs suggests that the first order statistics of the two networks were close to match, but the second order statistics differed significantly.
+3.3.4 Spectral modulations in simulated LFPs
+We investigated then the differences in the spectral modulations of network activity, as measured by the simulated LFP and by the total excitatory and inhibitory firing rate generated by the two networks. LFP models can offer interesting insights into the dynamics of cortical networks (Einevoll et al. 2013) because they offer an insight in both supra- and sub-threshold dynamics that can be compared with experimental recordings; however the differences in LFPs computed from networks with either current- or conductance-based synapses have not been investigated yet. We expected significant differences to arise because, as detailed above, the sub-threshold dynamics of COBNs and CUBNs were quite different.
+The dependence of LFP spectrum on the input rate (figures 3.9A,B) shows that, consistent with previous results (Brunel & Wang 2003, Mazzoni et al. 2008, 2011), both networks develops gamma range (30�100 Hz) oscillations that become stronger and faster as the input is increased. Figures 3.6I,J illustrate this effect in the time domain. Figures 3.9A,B show the LFP input rate-driven modulation in COBN and CUBN. The dependence of response to variations in input rate in the two networks was qualitatively similar. There was no modulation for frequencies below 5 Hz (Pearson correlation test, p > 0.1); there was strong modulation in the gamma band and above (Pearson correlation test, p < 0.01). The difference between the position of the COBN and CUBN gamma peak was always below 5 Hz (figure 3.9C). For comparison, we also computed the power spectrum of the

Power modulation is defined as the difference of the power of a frequency at a given input signal and its power at the input signal of 1.5 (spikes/ms)/cell, normalized to the latter power. (F) Average (over trials) amplitude of the fluctuations of the sum of the currents entering the excitatory neurons for the two networks as a function of the input rate. The currents are divided by the leak membrane conductance to obtain units of mV. Blue, red, and green lines represent GABA, recurrent AMPA and external AMPA respectively. These are the currents we used to compute LFP. Note that the external AMPA currents (IAMP Aext in equation 3.4) are almost identical between the two networks because their synapses are activated by the same spike trains in COBN and CUBN. Results are computed by using 50 trials of 4.5 s per stimulus and show that (i) the gamma peak position across stimuli is similar for the two networks and this agreement is robust to change in the network parameters, (ii) the amplitude of the peak power is more modulated in the COBN because of the stronger fluctuations of the synaptic currents at the network level.

+3.3 Results
+total firing rate of excitatory or inhibitory neurons (figure 3.9C). The spectral peaks of COBN and CUBN were very close also in this case.
+We tested the robustness of the agreement between spectral peaks of CUBNs and COBNs by measuring the average (over stimuli) gamma-peak distance between the two networks for different AMPA and GABA reversal potentials (similarly to what was done in the analysis represented in figures 3.8C,D), and we found that the two networks always displayed almost identical positions of the gamma frequency peaks (figure 3.9D).
+Note that we did not build the comparable networks to obtain robustly similar firing rates and similar dominant frequencies in the gamma band, as we used other constraints to select comparable parameters. The equivalence and robustness of rates and gamma peaks arose from network dynamics, and, in particular, the robustness corroborates the notion that our procedure indeed produces a meaningful comparison. We also tested other kinds of procedures to set the COBN synaptic conductances, Gsyn, given the CUBN synaptic efficacies, Jsyn. In particular we define Gsyn such in a way to maximize the similarity of PSCs (in one case) or PSPs (in another case) between the two networks at the single-neuron level, to compensate for the post-synaptic stimulus reduction that is peculiar of the COBN with respect to the CUBN (figure 3.4). When using these procedures the results were both less robust to change in the synaptic reversal potentials and less similar between CUBN and COBN (data not shown).
+On the other hand, differences between the LFP spectra of the two networks are also apparent in figures 3.9A,B. First, the COBN gamma peak was larger and was modulated by the input rate in a much stronger way than the CUBN gamma peak (figure 3.9E). Given the fact that the net input current in the COBN was smaller (figure 3.7A) and also fluctuated slightly less than in CUBN (figure 3.7C), at first we found this result surprising. However, the phenomenon can be understood after measuring the AMPA and GABA fluctuations. As reported in figure 3.9F, the size of recurrent AMPA and GABA current fluctuations was larger in COBN than in CUBN, and the difference increased with the input rate. Indeed, while the simultaneous increases of AMPA and GABA fluctuations compensated each other in the COBN net input current (figures 3.7A,B), the contributions of these two currents to the computed LFP have the same sign (see equation 3.11), and this led to a stronger spectral peak in the COBN. Second, the CUBN displayed a broad LFP spectral peak in the high gamma region (> 60 Hz), and small fluctuations in the low gamma region (< 60 Hz), while, in the COBN, for inputs greater than 3 (spikes/ms)/cell there was a sharp peak in the high gamma band and also a pronounced plateau in the low gamma. Third, since the power associated with this plateau was modulated by the input

+rate, for the COBN all frequencies above 20 Hz were significantly modulated, while in the CUBN significant modulation occurred only for frequencies above 60 Hz. As we will see in the next section, the narrower gamma peak indicates a stronger synchronization in the COBN than in the CUBN, while the stronger modulation in the gamma power makes the amount of information conveyed by the COBN larger than in the CUBN (see section 3.3.7 on page 83).
+For both networks, the spectra of the total firing rate were qualitatively very similar to the spectra of the LFP for all input rates considered (data not shown). Therefore all the aforementioned differences were present also when comparing the COBN and CUBN total firing rate power spectra.

+3.3.5 Correlation between AMPA and GABA currents
+The correlation between AMPA and GABA synaptic currents is known to play a very important role in determining the network dynamics and in particular the spike train variability (Isaacson & Scanziani 2011). A negative correlation of AMPA and GABA input currents leads to sparse and uncorrelated firing events, while positive values lead to strong bursty synchronized events (Renart et al. 2010). We thus compared the cross correlation between recurrent AMPA and GABA currents impinging on single neurons in COBN and CUBN. We found that the correlation between GABA and AMPA inputs was stronger (i.e., more negative) in the COBN for all external input rates (figure 3.10A). Moreover, in both networks, AMPA currents led GABA currents with lags shorter than 5 ms, of the order of those observed in (Okun & Lampl 2008). However, for all external input rates, AMPA-GABA lags were smaller in the COBN (figure 3.10B). Although figure 3.10 shows results only for excitatory neurons, similar results held for inhibitory neurons (figure 3.11). Finally, these results held also when using as external noise a white noise process instead of an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process (figure 3.15C).
+3.3.6 Cross-neuron correlations
+The fact that the cross-neuron variability in average current inputs and MPs was much smaller (figures 3.7A,D) and high gamma frequency peaks were narrower in the COBN (figures 3.9A,B) suggested that the activity was more coherent in the COBN than in the CUBN. This view was further corroborated by the finding that the sum of the recurrent

(A) Average cross-neuron correlation coefficient between the time course of recurrent AMPA currents (red lines) and GABA currents (blue lines) on excitatory neurons, for CUBN (thick lines) and COBN (thin line with markers), as a function of the external input rate.

(B) Average correlation coefficient between the membrane potential (MP) time courses of pairs of excitatory neurons as a function of the external input rate. While in the COBN the MP correlation increases with input rate, the opposite occurs in the CUBN. Shaded areas correspond to standard deviation across neuron pairs.

+currents was larger in the COBN (figure 3.9F) and suggested that, in this network, input currents may be more correlated across different neurons. We verified this hypothesis by measuring the average Pearson correlation coefficient between the time evolution of the recurrent AMPA and of the GABA input currents over neuron pairs (see section 3.2.8 on page 61), Figure 3.12A shows that for both AMPA and GABA currents the average cross-neuron correlation coefficient was indeed significantly stronger (t-test, p 10-10) in the COBN for all external input rates. Figure 3.12A shows also that, in the COBN, the cross-neuron correlation grew with the external input rate for both currents (Pearson correlation test, p < 10-5). In the CUBN the AMPA currents were linearly correlated to the input rate (Pearson correlation test, p < 0.05), while GABA currents varied with the input rate in a non-monotonic way. However, if we used white noise, instead of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck noise (see section 3.2.1 on page 48), the crossneuron current correlation was again higher in the COBN (t-test, p 10-10), but grew monotonously with the input rate for both networks (Pearson correlation test, p < 10-5),

+as shown in figure 3.15A. The increase in the difference between the cross-neuron current correlation in COBN and CUBN with the input rate (figure 3.12A) led to the increase of the difference in AMPA and GABA total fluctuations in the two networks, shown in figure 3.9F. To fully appreciate the key role played by correlations note that, if the correlations were similar in COBN and CUBN, fluctuations would be expected to be larger in CUBN since the firing rate was similar for the two networks (figure 3.8A) and the single PSC amplitude was larger for the CUBN (figure 3.4). Cross-neuron correlation of the input currents should be reflected in cross-neuron MP correlation. The previously shown sample traces of the MP of neuron pairs (figures 3.6E,H) suggested that the correlation was indeed similar for COBN and CUBN in the low-conductance state, but much stronger for the COBN in the high-conductance state. We thus analyzed the average correlation of the MP time courses of pairs of excitatory neurons (figure 3.12B). Over the whole external input range considered, MP correlation in the COBN was significantly stronger than in the CUBN (t-test, p 10-10). Cross-neuron MP correlation in the COBN increased with external input rate (Pearson correlation test, p < 10-8), while it was only mildly affected in the CUBN (Pearson correlation test, p < 0.02). These results held for all considered neuron pairs (figure 3.13) and also when considering white noise, instead of Ornstein-Uhlenbeck noise (figure 3.15B). We finally computed the cross-neuron spike train correlation. We expected it to be related to the MP correlation displayed in figure 3.12B, even if, since both networks were in a fluctuation-driven state, the spike train correlation should be close to zero (Brunel & Wang 2003, Renart et al. 2010). We found indeed a very low average spike train correlation

However, in the CUBN, the spike train correlation was weaker and less sensitive to input rate changes than in the COBN (see figures 3.14A�C and compare figures 3.14D,E). These results did not change if we injected white noise, instead of Ornstein-Uhlenbeck noise, in the network (figure 3.15D).

+Table 3.4. Summary of differences between two comparable COBN and CUBN models. This table summarizes our main findings by comparing the values of different features in the COBN used as reference (see table 3.3) and in the CUBN, when using two constant stimuli: 0=1.5 and 5 (spikes/ms)/cell. These inputs cause respectively a low-conductance state (LCS) and a high-conductance state (HCS). Values are reported as mean � standard deviations. PSP peak amplitudes of the COBN are computed by using a spike triggered averaged over 300 neurons from the network in a simulation of 10.5 s (see section 3.2.7). The effective membrane time constant of the COBN,  eff , the membrane potential, MP, the fluctuations on time of the membrane potential, time(MP) and the coefficient of variation of the ISI, CV ISI, are computed for each neuron and then averaged across neurons by using data from a single trial (of 10.5 s for eff , MP and time(MP) and of 100.5 s for CV ISI); the standard deviations are computed across neurons. The average firing rate, FR, the position of the gamma peak of the LFP power spectrum, the current mean and the current fluctuations are computed for each trial (of 4.5 s) considering the activity of all the (excitatory or inhibitory) neurons of the network and then are averaged over 50 trials (the standard deviations are computed thus across trials). The current mean and the current fluctuations refer to the sum of the (AMPA or GABA) currents entering all the excitatory neurons, as indicated by the summation over neurons, n, which are exactly the variables used to simulate the LFP. The sum of external AMPA (Ext. AMPA) and recurrent AMPA (Rec. AMPA) is stated as Tot. AMPA. Correlations are computed by using a single trial of 10.5 s. In particular, the cross correlation peak is averaged over the neurons obtained from two randomly selected subpopulations of 200 excitatory and inhibitory neurons (see section 3.2.8 on page 61), while the cross-neuron correlation coefficient is averaged over all the couples of neurons obtained from the same subpopulations (see section 3.2.8 on page 61).
+3.3.7 Information about external inputs
+In the previous subsections we investigated how the average level of spike rate, LFP and spike train correlation depends on the external input to the network, finding a more pronounced stimulus modulation of LFP gamma power and of cross-neural correlation in COBN. To quantify these stimulus modulations of network activity, we computed the mutual information between the stimuli to the network and various aspects of network activity (see for section 3.2.9 on page 62 details).
+We first measured the information carried by the average firing rate, both of excitatory and inhibitory neurons, in the two networks by using constant stimuli in the range 1.5�3 (spikes/ms)/cell with steps of 0.1 (spikes/ms)/cell. We found that, consistently with the results shown in figure 3.8A, the information carried by the average firing rate had the same value of 2.3 bits for both neural populations in both network models. Given that

+the modulation of spike train correlation with external input is greater in the COBN than in the CUBN, we expected that also the mutual information between the spike train correlation and the input rate was greater in the COBN than in the CUBN. Indeed this was the case: information in spike train correlation was much larger in the COBN (1.6 and 2.0 bits for excitatory and inhibitory neurons respectively) than in the CUBN (1.4 and 0.9 bits for excitatory and inhibitory neurons respectively).
+We measured then the information content of the LFP power spectrum. The LFP power spectrum averaged over all the presented constant stimuli was higher for the COBN than for the CUBN for all frequencies above 15 Hz (figure 3.16A). We found that, at all frequencies above 20 Hz, the COBN LFP spectrum carried more information about input rate than the CUBN LFP spectrum (figure 3.16C). Most notably, the peak information increased by about 20%, and the (20�45) Hz frequency range was informative in the COBN, but not in the CUBN. We repeated the analysis considering the power spectra of the total inhibitory and excitatory firing rate in the two networks. Excitatory neurons in the COBN had stronger power than excitatory neurons in the CUBN for all frequencies (figure 3.16B, note that here the y-scale is linear, while in figure 3.16A is logarithmic) and showed a secondary peak at about 20 Hz. For inhibitory neurons, instead, the COBN power spectrum was higher only for frequencies above 15 Hz, as in the LFP .
+So far we have investigated only the information carried about the strength of a timeindependent input to the network. In a previous work on CUBN (Mazzoni et al. 2008) it has been shown that when the input to the CUBN is dominated by low frequency fluctuation, the network oscillations (captured by both LFP and massed firing rate measures) form two largely independent frequency information channels. A gamma-range information channel is generated by recurrent interactions of inhibitory and excitatory neurons and conveys information about the mean input rate. A low-frequency information channel is generated by entrainment of the low frequency network activity to the slow fluctuations of the input stimulus and carries information about the stimulus time course on such slow time scales. We wanted to test how these two information channels, developed when presenting the network with time-varying stimuli, depended on the choice of the synaptic model.
+To investigate this point, we injected into the two networks periodic stimuli with fixed amplitude and frequency varying between 2 and 16 Hz. These input frequencies below 16 Hz were taken to represent the slow naturalistic fluctuations present in natural input signals (Luo & Poeppel 2007, Chandrasekaran et al. 2010, Gross et al. 2013). Since we wanted to investigate potential differences between models separately in low- and high- conductance states, we generated two kinds of input signals: a low-input regime (corresponding to a

+low-conductance state) and a high-input regime (corresponding to a high-conductance state). Thus the periodic input was made of a sinusoidal signal at a given frequency superimposed to a constant baseline that was set to a low value (0 = 1.5 spikes/ms) to induce a low-conductance state and to a high value (0 = 5 spikes/ms) to induce a high-conductance state. The amplitude , A, of the sinusoidal component of the input was 0.6 spikes/ms across all simulations. Results are reported in figure 3.17.
+We examined first the low-conductance state (left column of figure 3.17). We considered the LFP power spectra of the two networks in response to periodic stimuli of different frequencies (figures 3.17A,C). With respect to the previously examined constant input case (figures 3.9A,B), the LFP power spectrum of both networks had an additional high narrow peak exactly at the same frequency of the periodic input. This peak signaled the entrainment of the network to the periodic input (Mazzoni et al. 2008). The ability of the two networks to entrain their dynamics to the low-frequency stimuli suggested that the power of the LFP at such low frequencies could discriminate which of these periodic inputs was being presented. We tested this suggestion quantitatively by using mutual information, and we found that the slow LFP frequencies conveyed indeed information about the stimuli, approximately in the same amount in both networks (figure 3.17E). Note that, in the low-conductance state, there was also a slight modulation with the input frequencies of the power in the gamma band (40�70) Hz, with slightly lower gamma power for stimuli of faster frequency (figures 3.17A,C). These modulations of gamma-range power resulted in moderate amounts of stimulus information in the same range, (40�70) Hz, (figure 3.17E), and were likely due to the time taken by the networks to develop gamma oscillations following the very low input values occurring at the trough of the sinusoidal input.
+We then investigated the high-conductance state (right column of figure 3.17). Figures 3.17B,D shows that entrainment of both networks to low frequencies (signaled by the high narrow peak of LFP spectrum at the same frequency as the input) occurred strongly in the high-conductance state. The information about which of these periodic inputs was being presented, carried by the low frequency LFP power, was still identical in the two networks (figure 3.17F). Moreover, and consistently with the above results obtained with constant inputs (figures 3.9A,B), the gamma peak in the high-conductance states was much stronger and narrower in the COBN than in the CUBN. Probably because of this, the COBN (but not the CUBN) developed beats of the low-frequency peaks into the frequency range around 100 Hz (inset figure 3.17B). Since the low-frequency peak varied with the input, these beats led to an amount of information in the COBN LFP power around 100 Hz. The moderate gamma-range information peak, observed in the (40�70) Hz range for the low-conductance

+state (figure 3.17E), was absent in both networks for the high-conductance regime (figure 3.17F), because the input rate was always high at any time point. Thus gamma oscillations in the range (80�94) Hz were always strong, with relatively small fluctuations over time, leading to not discernible modulation across the set of input frequencies considered (figure 3.17B,D).
+We then investigated the ability of the network to entrain to a wider range of input frequencies, in particular including frequencies as fast as or faster than the gamma oscillations intrinsically generated by the network. We did so by testing the network with periodic stimuli over the 2�150 Hz range of input frequencies (figure 3.18). Again, to investigate differences between models separately in low- and high-conductance regimes, we generated two kinds of input signals that only differed for the value of the baseline, as described above. We quantified entrainment by computing the coherence between the phase of the input signal and the phase of the LFP bandpassed in a narrow band (with 2 Hz bandwidth) centered at the frequency of the periodic input. In the low-conductance state both networks were strongly entrained to the input over the whole range of frequencies examined, as indicated by the high phase coherence (figure 3.18A). However, when injecting the same input frequencies with the highest baseline (i.e., making the network operate in a high-conductance state), the behavior of the two networks was very different. The CUBN could still entrain extremely well over the entire input frequency range tested. The COBN entrained extremely well to inputs in the (80�94) Hz input frequency range, but less well to inputs with frequency between 16 Hz and 80 Hz, and above 94 Hz. The reason for the presence in the COBN of frequency regions with lower phase coherence (and thus less accurate entrainment to the periodic input) may be because, in the high-conductance state, the COBN had stronger internally generated recurrent oscillations (of higher power than the CUBN, see figures 3.18D,F) whose dynamics likely did not interfere constructively with the dynamics of the entrainment to the input. This resulted in peaks of less high amplitude in the COBN LFP spectrum at the exact frequency of the periodic input (figures 3.18D,F). It is interesting to note that the COBN still entrained very well in the (80�94) Hz input frequency range (figure 3.18B), despite this was also the frequency range exhibiting the strongest recurrent oscillations. Indeed, this range coincided with the peak amplitude of the internally generated gamma oscillations (figure 3.17B). The ability of the network to entrain well in this gamma range can be understood by observing that this was also the range more strongly modulated by the input rate (figure 3.9A). Thus, due to their particularly strong responsiveness to the input, external and internal oscillation in this range could interfere constructively, resulting in large peaks of the network LFP at the input frequency (figure 3.18D).

The information conveyed by delta band frequencies is instead almost identical in the two networks.

+3.3 Results
+To study the differences in the responses of the two networks to stimuli more complex and more biologically relevant than periodic functions, we finally compared the information carried by the LFP and firing rate spectra in COBN and CUBN when using the naturalistic time-varying inputs. We injected then in the networks naturalistic stimuli based on MUA recordings from the LGN of an anesthetized macaque presented with a commercial 80 s color movie clip. The average LFP and total firing rate power spectra for both networks with this set of stimuli are displayed respectively in Figures 14A and B. All these spectra had higher power at low frequencies (as the input signal had), and the gamma peaks were low because the average stimulus rates were in the range 1.2�2 spikes/ms. We computed information about which part of the time-varying naturalistic signal was being presented (see 3.2.9 on page 62 for details). We found that both LFP and firing rates spectra carried more information in the COBN than in the CUBN, for all frequencies (figures 3.19C,D). The difference in spectral information between COBN and CUBN for frequencies below 5 Hz was almost zero for the LFP and very low for the firing rates (see insets of figures 3.19C,D). Our findings therefore confirm that the two independent information channels (one in the low frequencies due to the entrainment to the input, and one in the gamma band due to internally generated oscillations), which were previously reported for the CUBN (Mazzoni et al. 2008), also exist in the COBN. Moreover, our results show that the information about the input conveyed by low frequencies, both in low- and high-conductance states, does not depend on the details of the synaptic model adopted, while the information encoded in the gamma range is larger in the COBN than in the CUBN.

+4 Chapter 4 Relationship between EEGs/LFPs and cell-specific single-neuron firing during slow wave oscillations
+In this chapter we investigate how to characterize empirically the relationship between mesoscopic or macroscopic network dynamics and the firing activity of identified single neurons (i.e., neurons belonging to specific classes such as the classes of pyramidal neurons or of interneurons of different types). We address the issue by developing mathematical methods to estimate the linear component of the relationship between firing activity and mass signals and by applying them to concurrent recordings of single-unit firing and of mass circuit activity (LFPs, EEGs) in the neocortex of anesthetized mice in a regime of slow wave oscillations.
+4.1 Introduction
+EEGs and LFPs are measures of mass neural dynamics that are easier and more stable to perform than measures of single-neuron spiking activity (Hall et al. 2014). In particular, LFPs are invasive measures that capture mostly postsynaptic potentials (for a full description see 3.2.5 on page 55) typically collecting the activity of populations of neurons located a few hundred micrometers from the recording site (Einevoll et al. 2013). EEG is the extracranial counterpart of the LFP and (like the LFP) captures the mass postsynaptic potentials of large populations of neurons (that are less localized than in the LFP) and it can be measured non-invasively; therefore EEG can be used to monitor neural activity

+with high temporal precision in healthy humans during cognitive tasks (da Silva 2013). Practical advantages of EEGs and LFPs over recordings of spiking activity are that (i) LFPs can be recorded more stably for longer periods (ii) their recording requires less power consumption. This is due to the fact the highest power spectral density values of mass signals are found for the lowest frequencies, thus the sampling rates are not required to be high, while spiking activity always needs an high sampling frequency (Hall et al. 2014). However, a difficulty in interpreting these mass (i.e., circuit-level) signals in terms of neural computation is their intrinsic ambiguity: in absence of specific information of how mass signals arise from the individual components that contribute to their generation, it is unclear how they relate to the time course of the underlying spiking activity of neurons in the proximity of the electrode (Einevoll et al. 2013).
+Being able to develop simple, yet reasonably accurate, mathematical expressions that relate EEGs or LFPs to spiking activity of single identified cell would be important for several reasons. The estimation of the dynamics of firing of specific classes of neurons from EEGs/LFPs would allow us to correctly infer the underlying neural computations from mass recordings, a feat which is not possible with current computational technologies. With this expression, for example, we would be able to tell, from non-invasive electrical recordings only, that some specific neural classes of interneurons increase or decrease their firing when a subject is performing a certain task, thereby giving quantitative information that we can put into models1. The ability of estimating the dynamics of EEGs/LFPs from the spiking activity of individual cell types (the inverse problem of the one just described above) would be valuable to understand how the firing of single cells relates to the circuit "context" which led the neuron to fire, therefore giving precious insights about the way circuits shape single-neuron activity.
+Before discussing in more details these topics, it is useful to point out that two different variables can be used to define spiking activity:
+� the spike (or firing) rate, FR, (i.e., r(t), see equation 2.25), which is the average number of spikes in windows of a given amplitude
+� the spike times or spike train (i.e., (t), see equation 2.22), which is the position in time of each spike with a given sampling frequency
+Furthermore, as stated above, it also useful to consider the relationship between singleneuron and network-level activities in two opposite directions:
+1This could be very useful, for example, in brain-machine interfaces applications, such as spike-based neuroprostheses (Hall et al. 2014).

+4.1 Introduction
+� the direction that goes from single-neuron activity towards mass circuit activity (that we will denote in the following as "spk2EEG/LFP")
+� the direction that goes from mass circuit activity towards single-neuron activity. The latter, in turn, can be measured by the firing rates ("EEG/LFP2FR") or by the spike trains ("EEG/LFP2spk")
+A series of recent studies has investigated the relationship between mass signals, measured with LFPs/EEGs, and firing activity in different cortical areas and during both stimulation and absence of stimulus (Hall et al. 2014, Musall et al. 2014, Ng et al. 2013, Zanos et al. 2012, Bansal et al. 2011, Okun et al. 2010, Nauhaus et al. 2009, Whittingstall & Logothetis 2009, Rasch et al. 2009, 2008, Mukovski et al. 2007). In the following, we briefly review the progress made by these studies, and we highlight the questions that these studies left open and that we have tried to address in this thesis.
+Whittingstall and Logothetis (Whittingstall & Logothetis 2009) recorded simultaneously multi-unit activity and EEGs/LFPs from primary visual cortex during visual stimulation. Spectral analysis of EEGs/LFPs recordings reveals that cortical activity presents a reach spectrum of oscillatory activity spread over a wide range of frequencies. Thus they performed a frequency decomposition and focused on the relationship between the network oscillations obtained from LFPs/EEGs and the multi-unit activity in the direction from EEG/LFP to firing rate (i.e., EEG/LFP2FR). In both cases (EEG and LFP), they found that the time course of MUA on a scale of 10-50 ms related statistically both to the delta-band (2-4 Hz) phase and to the gamma-band (30-100 Hz) amplitude of mass signals, with a linear combination of gamma power and delta phase affording more predictability of the multi-unit spike rates than either signal alone. In a second study (Musall et al. 2014), they extended this study by investigating how synchrony between different multi-unit sites relates to EEG amplitude.
+Panzeri and colleagues (Mazzoni et al. 2010) developed a network model that provides a detailed mechanistic explanation (both during visual stimulation and during spontaneous activity) of the relationships between activity of excitatory neurons and the phase and amplitude of EEG/LFP rhythms at different frequencies. This modeling accounted well many of the aspects of EEG/spikes relationships observed experimentally by Whittingstall and Logothetis.
+In alternative to studying relationships between EEG/LFP networks rhythms and spike times in the frequency domain, Kreiman and colleagues (Rasch et al. 2009) investigated the relationship between multi-unit spikes and LFPs in the time domain during both visual stimulation and absence of stimulus. Their approach was to approximate the LFP time
+95
+
+4 Relationship between EEGs/LFPs and single-neuron activity
+series as a linear convolution of the spike train time series with a temporal "kernel" (i.e., spk2LFP investigation) that describes the spike-field relationship (this "kernel" is similar, though, not identical, to the spike triggered LFP average). This time domain approach is of interest for two reasons. First, if the "kernels" are found to be relatively constant across cells, this approach could be in principle used to estimate the spike rate from the LFP by "deconvolving" the LFP time series with the inverted kernels. Second, these kernels are also useful to describe empirically how LFPs/EEGs are generated within the cortical circuit. Indeed, they are a measure of the spike-LFP/EEG relationship more accurate with respect to the spike-triggered average of the local filed potential, since they discount the confounding factors (in spike-LFP/EEG relationship) that can be given by spatiotemporal correlation of spikes (see section 2.3.3 on page 42). Thus they can be used to estimate, for example, whether the LFP or EEG generation depends on dynamical network parameters such as the cortical excitability (Einevoll et al. 2013). In another study (Rasch et al. 2008) Logothetis and colleagues estimated the spike trains of MUA (with a sampling frequency of 200Hz) from the LFP (i.e., LFP2spk direction) in monkey primary visual cortex during both visual stimulation and absence of stimulus. They used a support vector machine (SVM) to perform binary classification. The learning algorithm selected a certain number of features (up to 116) of the LFP in order to maximize the estimation performances. The LFP features were obtained both from time and frequency domain and the preferred one is the amplitude of the LFP power fluctuations in the high gamma band (40-90Hz).
+Finally, another study (Ng et al. 2013) estimated the similarity between the stimulus selectivity of the firing of auditory cortical neurons in monkeys and the stimulus selectivity that is obtained by EEGs recorded in humans using the same auditory stimuli in both species. The results of this investigation showed that the delta phase is the parameter of auditory cortex EEG that gives decoding and stimulus selectivity closer to the firing of cortical neurons, suggesting that EEG delta phase may be a good proxy for inferring how neurons encode information.
+All the above mentioned studies investigate the relationship between LFPs/EEGs and spiking activity of small neuronal populations (or by means of single-unit activity obtained by applying a spike sorting algorithm to MUA signal). A very recent paper (Hall et al. 2014) introduced an important novelty: they examined the effect of using multiple2 (instead of individual) LFPs to estimate individual firing rate activity and vice versa. However all these works evaluated the firing activity starting from the multi-unit activity. We note
+2Obtained from multichannel (up to 20) recordings.

+
+4.2 Materials and methods
+that MUA (see section 3.2.5 on page 55) depends on the (extracellular) action potentials of a small group of neurons and does not permit any discrimination of the neural cell types contributing to it, although presumably such recordings capture mostly spikes from pyramidal neurons, because of their larger size and higher number (Logothetis 2003). Thus:
+� previous investigations of the relationship between EEGs/LFPs and firing activity lack a characterization of the cell type from which the firing activity is recorded, and thus cannot reveal the relationship between network-level activity and the firing of specific cell types.
+� given that the previous investigations used MUA recordings of spiking activity, and given that MUA has a bias toward measuring pyramidal neurons, these previous investigations cannot tell anything about the relationship between the EEGs/LFPs and the activity of neurons that are not pyramidal cells
+As a consequence, previous work failed to show light on how the activity of specific classes of interneurons relate to the EEGs/LFPs. Whether or not such relationships can be detected is made difficult by the fact that inhibitory interneurons, due to their approximately symmetric shape (i.e., star-shaped dendrites), generate a dipole for each spike or synaptic event that is approximately 10 times smaller than that of pyramidal neurons(Murakami & Okada 2006). In our work we focus precisely on the relationship between the firing activity of individual genetically-identified interneurons and EEGs/LFPs.
+4.2 Materials and methods
+Note that we performed the same analysis for LFP and EEG signal. In the materials and methods section (text and equations), we reported the LFP case, but it is understood that each time you can replace LFP with EEG.
+4.2.1 In vivo LFP, EEG and two-photon guided juxtasomal recordings
+All experiments were performed in mice (25-30 days old) under urethane anaesthesia by Stefano Zucca, Tommaso Fellin and other colleagues in the laboratory of Tommaso Fellin at IIT. These data were kindly provided to me for the present analysis. Details of the experiments are concisely reported below.

+PV-Cre (B6;129P2- Pvalbtm1(cre)Arbr/J, Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, USA) and SST-Cre (Ssttm2.1(cre)Zjh/J , Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, USA) transgenic mice were crossed with the TdTomato (B6;129S6-Gt(ROSA)26Sortm14(CAG-tdTomato)Hze/J) reporter line and used for simultaneous recordings of the electroencephalogram (EEG), local field potential (LFP) and single-cell spiking activity. EEG recordings were obtained by placing two epidural stainless steel wires unilaterally at about 3.5 mm distance (in the rostro-caudal direction) from one another. The EEG signal was amplified using an AMamplifier (AM-system, Carlsborg, WA), sampled at 10 kHz and stored with PatchMaster software. For juxtasomal recordings, patch pipettes (resistance: 4 � 9 M), filled with artificial cerebrospinal fluid solution mixed with Alexa Fluor 488 (20 M), were lowered through a small craniotomy placed ipsilaterally and in between the two EEG recording sites. Parvalbumin-positive (PV-pos) and Somatostain-positive (SOM-pos) interneurons were identified based on their TdTomato fluorescence in double transgenic mice under the two-photon microscope (exc = 720 nm). Single-cell spiking activity was recorded with an ELC-01X amplifier (NPI electronic instruments), the signal was sampled at 10 kHz and stored in the computer via PatchMaster software. Simultaneous LFP recording was performed by placing a low resistance glass pipette (0.8 � 1 M) at a distance < 500 m from the recorded cell. The LFP signal was amplified, sampled and stored in the same way as the EEG signal (datasets: 4 mice, 21 cells for PV-pos and 8 mice, 18 cells for SOM-pos cells).
+4.2.2 In vivo LFP and Patch-Clamp recordings
+Experiments were performed in PV-Cre mice (25-30 days old) under urethane anaesthesia. For single cell whole cell recordings a patch pipette filled with an intracellular solution (composition in mM: K-gluconate 140, MgCl2 1, NaCl 8, Na2ATP 2, NaGTP 0.5, HEPES 10, phosphocreatine 10 to pH 7.2 with KOH) was lowered through the tissue (depth: from 450 �m to 700 �m) while applying a small positive pressure. Once the cell was reached, a negative pressure was imposed to achieve a stable seal (G) and the membrane was then carefully broken. Pyramidal neurons were identified in current clamp configuration by looking at their spiking activity during depolarizing steps of current injections (Contreras 2004, Cauli et al. 2000). Single cell membrane potential values were amplified, sampled and stored as the extracellular juxtasomal signals. By positioning a second glass pipette at the same depth of the recorded cell, the LFP was acquired in same conditions as reported above (dataset: 3 mice, 7 cells).

+4.2.3 Data preprocessing
+The recordings are composed by temporal sessions of variable length ( 750 sec long) which are preceded and followed by a break in the data acquisition. Each cell can have multiple temporal sessions (from 1 to 4) that we divided in segments 240 sec long we call "trials" after discarded an initial transient (from 5 to 20 sec) to avoid any potential border effect. For the PV-pos dataset, this results in a total number of 120 trials. Then we divided each session in segments 240 sec long we call "trials". Eventually we split each trial into two segments of equal length and in the whole analysis the first 120 sec are used as training set (to compute the Wiener filters and the coefficients of the GLM), while the second half of each trial belonged to the test set and is used to perform the estimation.
+All the analysis has been performed using MATLAB (MathWorks). In order to facilitate the computation, LFP signals were decimated to 500 Hz.3 To detect spike times, firstly we applied a high-pass filter to the mean-subtracted 10 kHz juxtasomal signal (Kaiser filter with zero phase lag and 0.5 Hz bandwidth, very small passband ripple (0.05 dB) and high stopband attenuation (60 dB), cutoff frequency of 100 Hz) and then we applied a detection threshold. Depending on the noise level, the thresholds could vary across temporal series and the median value was 9 SDs of the filtered juxtasomal signal (min=4.5, max=12). Eventually the spike times are downsampled to 500 Hz (like the LFP signal). Note that in this way we obtain the spikes emitted only by the two-photon targeted cell, without need of applying any spike sorting algorithm (because the recordings are juxtasomal).
+Traces of the LFP (decimated to 500 Hz) recorded concurrently with the juxtasomal signal is displayed in figure 4.2, while a typical example of the LFP power spectral density is shown in figure 4.3.
+Depending on the channel takes as reference, both the LFP4 and the EEG could have inverted signs. In order to detect the sign, we computed the dependence of the high frequency power (20 90)Hz on the low frequency (0.3 2)Hz phase by means of the crossfrequency coupling of the signal (see figure 4.4). We then aligned all signals in the same way by reversing the sign of those signals whose cross-frequency coupling had a downward valley at phase value  (blue lines in figure 4.4).
+Finally we low-pass filtered the LFP (Kaiser filter with zero phase lag and 0.5 Hz bandwidth,
+3The decimation ("decimate" function in Matlab) performed an intrinsic low-pass filter with cutoff frequency at 200 Hz. Since we are interested in the LFP spectrum below 100 Hz, the decimation does not affect the results.
+4Note that the LFP is recorded always from layer 2 (see figure 4.1), thus its polarity does not depend on the depth of the recording.

+4.2.4 Linear estimation of the time-varying signals
+We investigated whether we could linearly estimate the LFP and the EEG from the spiking activity of a single genetically-identified neuron (a PV-pos neuron, with the exception of figure 4.19), and whether we could estimate the firing activity of a neuron from the mass signals (that it, the "inverse" estimation, see figure 4.7). We also asked if the estimation is general and robust across cells and animals.
+
+4.2.4.1 Estimation of LFP and EEG from single-unit spike train

In particular, cross-frequency coupling is computed as follows. First, we binned into 21 equispaced intervals the range of low delta phase angles from 0 to 2, and then in each phase interval we computed the mean gamma amplitude over all data points whose phase belonged to that phase interval: this value is the mean gamma amplitude associated with the given phase interval. Finally, in order to obtain the amplitude modulation, we divided this value by the global mean gamma amplitude (over the whole temporal session, usually 750sec long). When the cross-frequency coupling resulted in a downward valley (blue lines), we inverted the sign of the signal.

+where the f~ indicates the Fourier transform of f and fcut is the cutoff frequency of the LFP. This filter is called "trial-specific" because the cross-power spectral density between the spike train and the LFP, Q~spkLF P (), and the power spectral density of the spike train, Q~spkspk(), are relative to (the training set of) a single trial. In this way each trial has its own filter. We also considered two other types of Wiener filter with increasing generality: the "cell-specific" filters and the "general" filter. The first filter was computed from and applied to all the trials belonging to a given cell6, while the general filter was obtained from and allied to the entire dataset. These filters were computed using the same mathematical procedure used to obtain the trial-specific filter, that is the minimization of the sum of the mean squared errors in the estimation over all the considered trials, as done in (Rasch et al. 2009). Thus, when computing a mean filter, hmean, over N trials, we minimized the following quantity:

+4.2.4.2 Estimation of single-unit firing rate from LFP and EEG
+Firing rate computation
+We performed a linear estimation also in the opposite direction, that is we estimated single-unit firing rate from the mass signal (i.e., "LFP2FR"). A signal linearly estimated from a continuous (i.e., analogue) signal (such as LFP and EEG) will be in turn continuous. Thus, in order to increase the estimation efficiency, we smoothed the original sequence of spikes in order to obtain a continuous signal we called "firing rate", FR. This smoothing procedure was performed as follows: first, we averaged the spike train over a rectangular sliding window (i.e., a spike smoothing window, SSW), then we convolved the obtained signal with an Hann window 26 ms wide7 (Theunissen et al. 2000). Unless otherwise stated, the SSW amplitude was 10 ms8.
+
+Wiener Filter
+
+Once we obtained the original firing rate (on the training set), we estimated the FR (on the test set) from the LFP (and in the same way also from the EEG) by using the equation we previously adopted to estimate the LFP from the spiking activity, that is:

+Analogously to the mass signals estimation, the above equation represents the trial-specific filter. Also in this case we considered the cell-specific and the general filter, which were defined as in equation 4.5 by substituting "spk" with "LFP" and "LFP" with "FR". Note that in order to evaluate how effective was the filter in performing the estimation, we computed also the estimation performances obtained by assuming simply F Rest = LF P (without performing any filtering procedure)
+
+7In order not to affect the FR units, the Hann window had unitary integral. 8Note that we varied this parameter in the range from 6 to 50 ms and we chose 10 ms because it maximized
+the spike train estimation performances.

+
+4 Relationship between EEGs/LFPs and single-neuron activity General Linear Model (GLM)
+
+In order to evaluate better the results of the FR estimation, we compared the estimation performances obtained by using the kernel with the ones obtained by adopting a general linear model based on frequency decomposition. This model had been used to estimate the MUA firing rate from LFP in a previous work (Whittingstall & Logothetis 2009), to which we refer for a full description. Briefly, the GLM performs a linear estimation of the true FR by using three regressors: the time resolved power of a given frequency band of the LFP, P owband1, the instantaneous phase of a given frequency band of the LFP, P hband2, and a constant term, k:
+
+F Rest(t) = 1P owband1(t) + 2P hband2(t) + k.
+
+(4.8)
+
+The coefficients 1, 2 and the constant term, k, were computed by minimizing the mean squared difference between the true and estimated FRs (as in the Wiener filter case). The frequency bands used to compute the power and the phase of the oscillations were chosen to maximize the estimation performance (data not shown) among the six traditional EEG bands: delta (<4 Hz), theta (4�8 Hz), alpha (8�15 Hz), beta (15�30 Hz), low (30�60 Hz), and high (60�100 Hz) gamma. In particular, band1 and band2 correspond respectively to the band that had the highest correlation between the oscillatory power and the FR (i.e. [30 60]Hz for LFP and [60 90]Hz for EEG, see panels C,D figure 4.5) and the highest phase of firing (<4Hz, see panels A,B figure 4.5, where only the band with the highest phase of firing is displayed). The band-passing procedure was performed by using a Kaiser filter with zero phase lag and 0.1 Hz bandwidth, very small passband ripple (0.05 dB) and high stopband attenuation (60 dB). Then respectively the oscillatory power and phase were obtained as the magnitude and the phase of the Hilbert transform of the band passed signal. Eventually both phase and power were normalized resulting in values between 0 and 1. In particular, the oscillatory power was normalized to its peak value in each single trial. The phase regressor was created by normalizing the instantaneous phase to its peak phase of firing probability in each single trial.
+
+The computation of the GLM was carried out in each single trial, resulting in a "trialspecific" GLM. Analogously to what has been done when performing the estimation by means of the Wiener filter, we also computed the "cell-specific" and "general" GLM by averaging the weights 1, 2 and the constant term k across the trials belonging to a given cell and all the trials, respectively.

We compared the FR estimation obtained by means of a Wiener kernel with the estimation obtained by using a general linear model, as done in (Whittingstall & Logothetis 2009). This GLM consisted of three regressors: the phase of the slow network oscillations, the power of the gamma network oscillations and a constant term. (A) LFP delta phase of firing. The LFP is bandpassed in the delta band [0.3 4]Hz and the instantaneous phase of the bandpassed signal is computed by means of an Hilbert transform. Then the phase values are binned into 10 equispaced intervals and each spike is assigned to the bin corresponding to the LFP phase assumed when it was fired. (B) Same as (A) for EEG phase of firing. (C) Median Pearson's correlation between the instantaneous power (extracted by the Hilbert transform) of the bandpassed LFP and the FR. The band used to build the power regressor (i.e., the one that gives the highest performance, data not shown) is the low gamma band, [30 60]Hz. (D) Same as (C) for EEG power; the band used to build the power regressor is the high gamma band, [60 90]Hz. In all the panels median values are computed over the training set and the error bars display the interquartile ranges.

+4.2.4.3 From firing rate to spike times
+From the estimated FR, we extracted the spike times of the neuron by using a non-linear threshold. The FR represents a probability of firing, thus the simplest way to extract spike times relied in detecting a spike each time the FRest had a local maximum that overcame a given threshold. As a consequence, the value of the threshold determined the number of spikes in the estimated spike train, F R est. As reference value we used thresholds set to get a number of estimated spikes equal to the number of true spikes; we identified the spike train estimation performed by using this threshold by saying that the F R est was "exact" (see for example figure 4.21). Therefore, in this case, we need to know the true average firing rate in each trial, F R trial, to obtain the estimated spike train. In order to quantify if and to which extent the estimation depends on the exact knowledge of F R trial, we used also a less specific ("general") threshold (data not shown). In particular, when using the general threshold, the estimated average firing rate takes (no longer the same value as the recorded firing rate but) one out of three possible values which in turn depends on the recorded FR, F R trial. More precisely these values corresponded to the 17th, 50th and 83rd percentile of the average firing rates distribution (see figure 4.8) and represented respectively a low, medium and high firing activity for the considered dataset.. The neurons whose F R trial fell in the percentile interval (0-33.3) were assigned to the low FR class (with F R est = 2.7 Hz, corresponding to the 17th percentile), the neurons with average firing rate in the percentile interval (33.3-66.6) was assigned to the medium firing rate class ( F R est = 4.5 Hz, that was the median) and the other to the high class ( F R est = 9.4 Hz, that was the 83rd percentile). In this case, we labeled the spike train estimation by saying that F R est was "similar" (to the original one; see figures 4.23 and 4.24). Eventually, in order to investigate more in general the dynamics of the estimation as a function of the threshold, we also analyzed three distinct cases where we adopted a threshold to get respectively the low, medium and high firing activity defined above for all the neurons, irrespective of the original firing rate. We identified these three cases by saying that F R est was respectively "low", "medium" and "high" (see figures 4.23, 4.24 and 4.27).
+4.2.5 Analysis of cortical datasets
+Note that we analyzed all the recordings available without performing any selecting based on the power of slow rhythms. We divided each trial (240 sec long) into two segments of equal length: the first 120 sec

+were used as training set to compute the filter, while the second half of each trial belonged to the test set and was used to evaluate the estimation performances (see figure 4.6). To compute the Wiener filter we estimated respectively the cross-power spectral density and the power spectral density (see equation 2.33) by using the "cpsd" and the "pwelch" Matlab functions, which performed a Welch's averaged periodogram method with Bartlett windowing and using nfft = 40969 for both the estimation directions. We also performed the analysis using nfft = 2048 and the results were almost the same (data not shown), since the filters are significant in an interval about 3000 ms wide (see figure 4.9). Eventually we estimated the inverse Fourier transform needed to obtain the time resolved filter (see equation 2.34) with the fast Fourier transform algorithm implemented in the "ifft" Matlab function. We performed the convolution needed to obtain the estimated signal (see equations 4.2 and 4.6) in the frequency domain by using the fast Fourier transform implemented in the "fftfilt" Matlab function.
+4.2.6 Quantification of estimation performance
+To quantify the estimation performance of the LFP, EEG and FR estimation we computed the rank Spearman's correlation10 between the estimated, yest, and the true signals, y, and
+9With a sampling frequency of 500 Hz (as in our case), nfft=4096 results in a filter 8192 ms wide. 10Very similar results were obtained when considering the Pearson's correlation (data not shown).

+

+
+MSD(y, y2
+
+yest)
+
+,
+
+(4.9)
+
+where y2 is the variance of the true signal and the mean squared distance, MSD, is defined in equation 2.32. NMSD takes values between 0 and 1 with 0 corresponding to perfect estimation and 1 estimation not better than chance level (Gabbiani & Koch 1998). This is true if yest is the optimal linear estimator of y in the mean square sense. Thus, before computing NMSD, we multiplied yest for the coefficient k = i[y(ti) � yest(ti)] / i ye2st(ti), which minimizes the MSD between y and yest. In particular, when evaluating the FR estimation performances, we rectified the estimated FR before computing Spearman's correlation and NMSD. To assess the statistical significance of the LFP11 estimation, we compared the performance distribution with the one obtained under the null hypothesis where the Wiener kernel, hrsapnkd2LF P , conveyed no information about the relationships between the temporal structure of spike trains and LFP time courses. More specifically, for each training trial, we generated a Poisson spike train with the same average firing rate as the true spike train. We then computed the Wiener filter hrsapnkd2LF P (that could be trial-specific, cell-specific or general depending on the original filter we were testing) as in equation 4.3 (or 4.5) by minimizing the MSD between the true LFP and the one estimated from the Poisson spike train. Eventually we used the random filter to estimate the LFP:
+
+T
+LFPreasnt d(t) = d hrsapnkd2LF P (t -  )( ).
+0
+
+(4.10)
+
+We repeated this procedure performing 50 different realizations of the Poisson spike train for each trial and then we averaged the estimation performance over the 50 realizations to obtain the average random performance distribution used as null hypothesis. If the filter conveys no information about the relationship between the temporal structure of spike trains and LFP time courses, we would expect the estimation performance of the estimated LFP to be close to the ones obtained from the random filter.
+
+To quantify the performances when estimating the spike times we need to introduce a parameter, dtaccuracy, that we use to resample the spike trains. Note that we count the number of spikes in each time window dtaccuracy, thus the value of the resampled spike trains in each dtaccuracy can be higher than one. We then compared the number of spikes in each dtaccuracy window in the true and estimated spike trains by measuring the sensitivity
+11Remember that the same procedure was adopted also in case of EEG estimation.
+
+110
+
+4.2 Materials and methods
+
+and the precision of the estimation. In particular, sensitivity is defined as follows
+
+TP
+
+Sensitivity =
+
+,
+
+TP +FN
+
+while precision is
+
+TP
+
+Precision =
+
+.
+
+TP +FP
+
+(4.11)
+
+TP (true positive) is the number of estimated spikes that fitted true spikes, FN (false
+
+negative) is the number of true spikes that do not have corresponding estimated spikes and
+
+finally FP (false positive) is the number of estimated spikes that do not have corresponding
+
+true spikes. Note that this computation/comparison is performed step by step in each
+
+dtaccuracy. Thus the sensitivity measures the percentage of the true spikes that are correctly estimated within time windows dtaccuracywide, while the precision is the percentage of the estimated spikes that correspond to true spikes. Note that if the true and the estimated
+
+spike trains have the same number of spikes (as in the case where F R est is exact, see section 4.2.4.3 on page 108), F N = F P therefore Sensitivity = Precision.
+
+To assess the statistical significance of the spike train estimation, we considered two different
+
+null hypotheses. The first is given by the estimation performances obtained from a Poisson
+
+spike train having the same average FR of the estimated spike train. (The Poisson process
+
+is a point-like process that generates spike times with a given probability at any given time,
+
+independently of spikes emitted at earlier or successive times). For each trial we performed
+
+50 different realizations of the Poisson spike train and we took the average performance.
+
+This null hypothesis is labeled as "Poisson" in figures 4.23 and 4.24 and it quantifies the
+
+performance only due to the knowledge of the average firing rate (independently on the
+
+relationship between firing activity and LFP). The second null hypothesis is obtained
+
+by the estimation performances obtained randomly placing the estimated spikes in the
+
+intervals where the estimated FR is above the spike-detection threshold (see section 4.2.4.3
+
+on page 108). For each trial we repeated this procedure 50 times and we took the average
+
+performance distribution. This null hypothesis is labeled as "Shuffled" in figures 4.23 and
+
+4.24 and it analyzes if the estimated spikes are placed at random level where the FRest is above the spike threshold.
+
+All the performance measurements we adopted do not depend on the magnitude of the signals. Nevertheless, when computing mean Wiener filters (see equation 4.5) and mean GLM, the involved signals had to have the same units across trials. In particular, the firing activity was in units of (spikes/dtsampling, where dtsampling= 2 ms) and the LFP were in standard deviations units (s.d.u.).

We linearly estimated the signals by means of Wiener kernels and we quantified how robust the estimation is by comparing the performances obtained by trial-specific, cell-specific filters and also when using a unique filter for all the mice. Top: the estimated LFP/EEG is obtained by convolving the relative Wiener filter, hspk2LF P/EEG with the spiking activity, , of single (both excitatory and inhibitory) neurons. Bottom: firstly, the FR is estimated by convolving the LFP (or the EEG) with the Wiener kernel, hLF P/EEG2F R, then a spike-detection threshold is applied to detect spike times. We compared this estimation with the ones performed when (i) avoiding the convolution with the filter (i.e., by applying the threshold directly to the LFP/EEG) and (ii) estimating the FR by means of a general linear model based on frequency decomposition of the mass signals used in (Whittingstall & Logothetis 2009).
+
+4.3 Results
+
+While mass measures of circuit activity (as EEGs and LFPs) are analogue signals, spike can be considered as point-like processes. Linear estimation methods of analogue signals from point-like processes rely on some kind of filtering operation on the sequence of times when the point-like is present. Thus, the number of available spikes is crucial when performing such a kind of estimation of mass signals. In particular, in our datasets the spiking activity comes from single genetically-identified (i.e., PV-pos) interneurons (see section 4.2.1 on page 97), thus the firing activity of the identified population of neurons is very important. In figure 4.8, we showed the distribution of the average firing rates of the single PV-pos interneurons. These neurons are fast-spiking neurons and this is the reason why we chose them, with respect to the SOM-pos interneurons, which had an extremely low firing activity (see figure 4.19).

+
+4.3.1 Estimating LFP and EEG from SUA
+We performed a linear estimation of both the EEG and the LFP recorded in layer 2 of neocortex of mice under anesthesia from the concurrently recorded spiking activity of a single PV-pos interneuron (in layer 2) placed at a distance <500 m from the LFP pipette. We then extended this analysis (see figure 4.19) by also including spiking activity recorded from either a SOM-pos interneuron in layer 2 and a pyramidal neuron in a deep layer (i.e., 5 or 6). The estimation was done by means of the (first order) Wiener kernel, as described in equation 4.2. In order to investigate if and to which extent the estimation algorithm could be generalized, we considered three kinds of filters, with increasing generality: trial-specific, cell-specific and general filters.
+The general filter obtained for respectively the LFP and EEG estimation is showed in figure 4.9 panels (A) and (B), where also the spike-triggered averages are displayed. The LFP (and EEG) estimation is obtained by placing a series of filters centered on the spike times and then summing them up. Therefore, the time lag associated with the filter peak (2 ms for LFP and 6 ms for EEG) indicates the delay where in average there is the strongest relationship between mass signal fluctuations and firing activity. Thus, for example, the average strongest effect of a spike will be observed on the LFP 2 ms after the spike emission. Furthermore, the higher and tighter value of the filter peak when estimating the LFP is

+an indication of the fact that the relationship between firing activity and LFP is closer and more stable than in the EEG case. Note that these filters are acausal12 (indeed we do not know whether spikes cause directly the mass signal, for example because the spikes generate a dipole directly captured by the mass signal, or whether the network oscillations cause the spike times, for example because the network oscillations suppress or enhance the likelihood of an individual cell firing at given phase of network oscillation Einevoll et al. 2013). This means that each spike affects the estimated LFP in time steps both preceding and following the spike emission. In particular, the values of the filter for respectively positive (negative) time lags shows the contributions to the LFPest of each spike after (prior to) its emission. In figure 4.10 we show a representative example of both the LFP and EEG estimation obtained from the same spiking activity by using the filters displayed in figure 4.9.
+We measured the estimation performance by means of the Spearman's correlation, rs, and of the NMSD between the original and estimated signals on the test set (see section 4.2.6 on page 109). In figure 4.11 we show the distribution of the Spearman's correlations across trials and cells both for LFP, panels (A,B), and EEG estimation, panels (C,D). We found that the performances vary on a broad range being relatively similar for trials belonging to
+12To be causal they should be equal to 0 for negative time lags (see section 2.3.3 on page 42).

+4 Relationship between EEGs/LFPs and single-neuron activity
+the same cell (both for LFP and EEG13, compare panels (A,C) with (B,D) in figure 4.11); nevertheless, the ranked performances differed when comparing LFP and EEG estimation (data not shown), suggesting that the relationship between FR and mass signals does not only depend on the average firing rate of the neuron, but it also depends on the nature and signal to noise ratio of the mass signal. When using cell-specific filters, the median values of rs for LFPest across all the trials is 0.58�0.12 (median�interquartile range/2, n=120 trials) and NMSD=0.70�0.12, while, for EEGest, rs=0.47�0.18 and NMSD=0.78�0.17. Note that the performance distributions obtained from both the trial-specific and general filters are never significantly different from the cell-specific one, (according to two-tailed KolmogorovSmirnov tests where respectively p>0.37 (0.29) when comparing Spearman's correlation for LFP (EEG) estimation), as summarized in figure 4.12. Therefore the estimation is robust with respect to the kernel's generality, suggesting that the relationships underlying the estimation reflect general and robust network phenomena under the experimental conditions considered and that the algorithm does not express any kind of overfitting of trial-specific features.
+To understand which components of network oscillations are better captured by our model, we analyzed how the performances are distributed across the frequency spectrum of LFPest and EEGest. We found (figure 4.13) that our linear estimation reconstructed better the low frequency components of the signals, even if the performances remains significantly higher than random level for the whole spectrum. This is intuitively expected for two reasons. The first is that the estimation (especially a linear one) will tend to reconstruct better the oscillations with largest amplitudes, which are in the lowest frequency band (see figure 4.3). The second reason is due to the experimental setup. Indeed, the pipette used to record the spiking activity is placed at a given distance (<500 m) from the pipette used to record LFP (and also from the wires used to record EEG), thus we use the SUA recorded at a given place to reconstruct a LFP recorded some hundreds micrometers away. As a consequence, the LFP performance estimation depended also on the spatial synchrony of LFP oscillations, which is higher for lower frequencies, as shown in figure 4.14, where we compared two LFP traces recorded at the distance usually present between LFP and SUA pipettes.
+To gain a deeper insight about the parameters shaping the relationships between singleneuron spiking activity and mass signals, we investigated how the correlations between original firing rates and network oscillations (figures 4.15 and 4.16) affect the estimation performance dynamics.
+13More specifically, in figure 4.11 the average (over cells) amplitude of the interval of rs values found for each cell (with more than one trial) is 0.14 for LFP and 0.13 for EEG estimation.

+Figure 4.14: Comparing two LFP traces recorded at the SUA-LFP pipette distance. The same analysis done in figure 4.13 is applied here to evaluate the frequencydependent similarity between two LFP traces recorded at a distance < 500 m. Note that this is the same distance present between the pipettes used to record the LFP and the SUA analyzed in all the other figures. The horizontal dashed line indicates the value for the unfiltered LFP (that is 0.80�0.05 (median�interquartile range/2), while for the NMSD is 0.36�0.05, datum not shown). Each trial lasts 100 sec (3 mice, 31 trials).
+To assess how the FR of single cells is synchronized with the mass signal, we computed the Spearman's correlation between FR and mass signal time courses. We found that the median correlation between the FR and the LFP (0.28) is higher than the one between FR and EEG (0.22); this is not surprising since the EEG is a signal integrated over a broader area than the LFP. Nevertheless, what is more important is that, in the LFP case, there is an high positive Pearson's correlation between the average firing rate and the synchronization between FR and LFP (rp = 0.87), which is strongly attenuated in the EEG case (rp = 0.36, compare panels (A,B) in figures 4.15 and 4.16). This means that, in the LFP case, the higher the average firing rate, the higher is the synchronization of firing activity with the mass signal, whereas, in the EEG case, this is not as clear. This is the crucial point to understand the differences in the way the estimation performances are shaped in the LFP and EEG case throughout this analysis and, in particular, it is the reason why we observed a strong correlation between the average firing rate and the LFP estimation performances (see panels (A,B) in figure 4.17), which is absent in the EEG estimation (see panels (A,B) in figure 4.18). We also investigated if the average firing rate is related to the power of slow frequencies ([0.3 2]Hz) of the LFP and EEG. We found weak correlations between these two variables both for LFP and EEG (see panels (C,D) in figures 4.15 and 4.16): the average firing rate
+120
+
+4.3 Results
+is only weakly dependent on the power of the slow network oscillations. However, note that our recordings are performed in a regime of slow wave oscillations, where the slowest frequencies are always the largest in amplitude (see figure 4.3) and their power variation across trials is smaller than the variation observed in the average firing rates14.
+As a consequence of the fact that the oscillations estimated better are the slowest ones (see figure 4.13), we could expect to find a positive correlation between the estimation performance and the power of the lowest frequencies. On the other hand, another crucial variable is the number of spikes available to reconstruct the signal, that is the average firing rate. Therefore, we will focus on the contributions of slow network oscillations and average firing rates in shaping the estimation performances15. Interestingly, when looking at the scatter plots of the performances with respect to those two variables, we found that the highest correlation is with the average firing rate for LFP estimation (rp = 0.66, see figure 4.17) and with the low frequency power for EEG estimation (rp = 0.59, see figure 4.18). This asymmetry is due to the differences in the relationships between FR and LFP with respect to FR and EEG pointed out in figures 4.15 and 4.16. Indeed, the estimation is enhanced (i) by high average firing rates, but, importantly, only if the firing activity is synchronized with the mass signals and (ii) by large amplitudes of slow oscillations. For what concerns the contributions of the average firing rate, the correlation between average firing rate and (mass signal-FR) synchronization is stronger for LFP (rp = 0.87) than for EEG (rp = 0.36). Thus, when a neuron has an high firing activity, this activity is strongly synchronized with LFP, but much less with EEG. In addition, the average FR tend to decrease when increasing the EEG low frequency power (rp = -0.35), therefore, in case of EEG estimation, the performances are almost independent on the average firing rate (see panels (A,B) figure 4.18). As a consequence, the EEG estimation performances are mainly determined by the amplitude of slow oscillations (see panels (C,D) figure 4.18). On the other hand, in our regime (i.e., slow wave oscillation), we have always large amplitude values of the slowest network oscillations thus (as stated above) their power is relatively stable across trials while the variation observed in the average firing rates is wider. The larger variability of the average FRs, combined with the fact that LFPs are strongly
+14More precisely, while the largest average FR is 26 times the smallest, the largest respectively LFP (EEG) low power is 1.6 (2.0) times the smallest, see figures (4.15) and (4.16).
+15In extended analysis we also investigated the contributions of the coefficient of variation of the inter-spike interval (CV ISI) and of the index of synchronization of network oscillations (Cheng-yu et al. 2009), which is measured as the ratio between the power of the low [0.3 2]Hz and of the high [30 60]Hz frequencies. We found that the correlations of respectively CV ISI and index of synchronization with the estimation performances were always lower than the ones obtained with the average FR and the power of the low frequencies of mass signals (data not shown), thus we decided to focus on the results relative to these two latter variables.

+synchronized with high FR activities (as stated above), results in an higher correlation between performances and average FRs with respect to the one between performances and LFP low power (compare panels (A,B) with (C,D) in figure 4.17). In panels (E,F) of figures 4.17 and 4.18, we show the correlation between the performances and the average FR multiplied by the low frequency power. In the EEG case, the resulting correlation is smaller than the correlation between the performances and the variables taken individually, because FRs and mass signals are not synchronized and thus an high firing rate does not improve the performances. On the other hand, in the LFP case, the correlation in panels (E,F) is (slightly) larger than in the other panels confirming that, when FRs and mass signals are synchronized, both slow network oscillations and FR enhance estimation.
+In summary, we found that the performance of LFP and EEG estimation depends mainly on two distinct features: (i) the amplitude of low frequencies in the mass signal and (ii) the number of spikes available to reconstruct the signals (i.e., the average firing rate of the cell). Both of them, when increasing, tend to facilitate the estimation. Since the recordings are performed during slow wave oscillations, we remain always in a regime where the slowest frequencies are largest and their power is relatively stable across trials16. On the other hand, the average firing rate can span a broad spectrum of values, thus its fluctuations are wider than the variations of LFP and EEG low power. As a result, when the firing activity is synchronized with the mass signals, as happens with the LFP, the average FR will prevail in shaping the estimation performances, otherwise, the level of low frequency oscillations will mainly determine the performances (EEG case).
+We conclude this analysis by summarizing some preliminary results of the application of our analysis to other two datasets where the mass signal is measured only as LFPs and the SUAs come respectively from Somatostatin-positive interneurons in layer 2 and excitatory pyramidal neurons from a deep layer (i.e., 5 or 6) in mouse neocortex. In the first case, the firing activity is extremely low (median[ F R ]=0.4 Hz, indeed this interneurons are no longer fast-spiking), and this leads to a fall in the estimation performances (panel (C) in figure 4.19). For the excitatory neurons, even if the average firing rates decrease considerably with respect to PV-pos (median[ F R ] from 4.5 Hz to 1.7 Hz), the performances remain quite high (panel (D) figure 4.19) suggesting the existence of a strong lock between pyramidal firing activity and mass signal. Finally, when looking at the correlations of the estimation performances with average firing rates and powers of the slow LFP oscillations, we found results very similar to the ones showed in figure 4.17 for the PV-pos interneurons (data

+4.3.2 Estimating SUA from LFP or EEG
+In this section we reverse the direction of the estimation, as we attempt to estimate SUA from from mass signals. This analysis is important to understand how we can infer the changes in firing rates of specific cell types in cases (such as those in human cognitive experiments with EEGs) when it is only possible record mass signals. We performed this estimation in two steps: first, the linear estimation of the FR, through convolution with a Wiener kernel, second, a non-linear threshold to detect the estimated spikes. We evaluated how the performances depend on the specificity of the filter (as done for the estimation in the opposite direction), on the spike-detection threshold and we also compared the performances obtained by using the Wiener kernel with the ones obtained by considering other two models of the estimated FR.

+in (t + time lag) when estimating the FR in t. The filters have oscillations narrower with respect to the filters used to estimate mass signals (figure 4.9) and this reflects the fact that the FR itself displayed very narrow oscillations (which identify the spikes position, see figure 4.21). Note that the EEG2FR filter is much smaller than the LFP2FR one; this indicates a weaker synchronization between firing activity and the EEG oscillations. As expected, the time lags associated with the filter peaks have inverted sign with respect to the case where the estimations were performed in the opposite direction. A representative example of the method used to perform the firing activity estimation is showed in figure 4.21, where the estimated FR, FRest, the spike-detection threshold and the estimated spike train, spkest, are displayed.
+In figure 4.22 we show the distribution across trials of the spike train estimation performances performed with cell-specific filters. Analogously to what reported in figure 4.11, we found that the performances vary broadly from cell to cell but are relatively stable for any given cell17. The median values of the sensitivity of the number of estimated spikes within time windows of 26 ms is 0.29�0.11 (median�interquartile range/2) for estimation from LFP and 0.22�0.09 from EEG when using cell-specific filters. Very similar results were obtained also with the trial-specific and general filters. In fact the sensitivity distribution across filters never differed when comparing sensitivity for estimation from LFP and EEG (two-tailed Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests, p>0.45 for LFP and p > 0.21 for EEG).
+In order to evaluate the goodness of the performances obtained, we performed both statistical significance tests and comparisons with the performances obtained by using other methods. We found that the spike train estimation performed with the Wiener kernel is always significant and not only with respect to the chance level (for details see panels (A,C) in figures 4.23 and 4.24). Furthermore, when evaluating the performances obtained by taking directly the mass signals as the estimated FR, we found that the Wiener kernel actually produces an enhancement in the spike train estimation performances (p<0.05, according to one-tailed Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests, see panels (B,D) in figures 4.23 and 4.24). Therefore, we can conclude that the filtering procedure is effective also after the application of the non-linear threshold to detect spikes. Finally, we compared the results of our method to those obtained with a general linear model (see section 4.2.4.2 on page 106) constructed on frequency decomposition of network oscillations18 which was used in (Whittingstall & Logothetis 2009) to estimate the firing rate
+17More specifically, in figure 4.22 the average (over cells) amplitude of the interval of sensitivity values found for each cell (with more than one trial) is 0.11 for LFP and 0.09 for EEG estimation.
+18Note that the Wiener filter is built instead considering the whole spectrum of the network oscillations.

+Figure 4.21: Example of spike train estimation from LFP and EEG when using the general filters (showed in figure 4.20). (A) We firstly compute the estimated FR, FRest, by convolving the recorded LFP with the (general) filter, then we estimate the spike train, spkest, by detecting a spike each time the FRest has a local maximum that overcomes a given threshold. The threshold (green line) is set such in a way to obtain the same number of spikes in spkest as in the true spike train (note that we used also other thresholds throughout the work). 12 seconds trace of the original FR (blue) compared with the estimated one (red) are shown; in the upper part of the panel is displayed the original spike train (blue vertical lines) and the estimated one (red vertical lines). In the legend are displayed the estimation performances (i.e., Spearman's correlation for the FRest and sensitivity for the spike train estimation) of the trial from which the traces are taken. (B) Same as (A) for spike train estimation from EEG signal. The examples in panels (A) and (B) are taken from the same trials and their estimation performances (and F R = 5.9Hz) are close to the median performances over the entire dataset.

+of MUA from both EEG and LFP signals. We estimated the FR by using the GLM and then we applied the spike-detection threshold to estimated spike times (as done in the previous cases). Note that we set the GLM parameters in order to maximize its performances (see figure 4.5) and we still found that, in all the cases, the performances of the filter were significantly higher (p<0.05, according to one-tailed Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests, see panels (B,D) in figure 4.23 and panel (B) in figure 4.24), excepting when estimating spikes from the EEG signal using a general filter (where the performances were not statistically different, see panel (D) in figure 4.24). In figures 4.23 and 4.24 we report the performances obtained when using cell-specific and general estimation methods, respectively. Importantly, we found that the results were stable across the three kinds of filters we considered. In more detail, we found that the distributions of the performance values associated with the different filters could never19 be statistically distinguished (respectively p>0.36 (0.21) for estimation from LFP (EEG), according to two-tailed Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests). We also looked at the spike train estimation performances as a function of the cutoff frequency (in a range between 10 and 90 Hz) of the LFP and of the EEG and we found that the performances monotonically decreased when decreasing the cutoff frequency in a similar way for all estimation considered above (data not shown). We then investigated how the estimation depends on the spike-detection threshold. We found that, when the estimated FR is exactly equal to the original one, the performances are never distinguishable from those obtained when F R est was similar to the original one (for details see section 4.2.4.3 on page 108), for both LFP and EEG cases (p>0.55 according to two-tailed Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests). This means that the performances are robust to a jitter in the spike-detection threshold and that, in particular, we can estimate the spiking activity from mass signals in a blind way, where the only free parameter is given by the range (low, medium or high) of the firing activity. Interestingly, we observed that by augmenting the number of estimated spikes (that is going form the "low" to the "high" F R est), the sensitivity increase is greater than the concurrent precision decrease20. This means that, when increasing the number of estimated spikes, the majority of the added spikes will correctly predict true spikes. This fact, together with the already observed positive correlation between average FRs and the synchronization of FR and mass signals (panels (A,B) in figures 4.15 and 4.16), suggests that there should be a positive correlation
+19We performed the statistical test by considering the "exact" and "similar" classes of estimation. 20This dynamics is always observed and, in particular, when estimating spikes from EEG with trial-specific
+(data not shown) or cell-specific filters (see panel (C) in figure 4.23), the precision sensitivity in the "exact" and "high" are not distinguishable (p>0.16, according to two-tailed Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests), while the sensitivity increase is clearly significant (p 10-10).

+between the spike estimation performances and the average FR. This is indeed what we found, for both LFP and EEG signals (see panels (A,B) in figures 4.25 and 4.26). By comparing the scatter plots of the performances of spike train estimation (figures 4.25 and 4.26) with the same plots when estimating mass signals (figures 4.17 and 4.18), we note that the Pearson's correlations with the average firing rate increase, while the correlations with the power of the low frequencies decrease steeply. As a result, in both cases, performances correlate the most with the average FRs (whereas, when estimating EEG, the highest correlation was with the EEG low frequency power, see figure 4.18). This is due to two reasons. First, the positive correlation observed between the (mass signal-FR) synchronization and average FR (see panels (A,B) in figures 4.15 and 4.16). Second, when reconstructing the spike train, only the position of the peaks in FRest matters and not the whole shape of the signal, like in the estimation of analogue (i.e., mass) signals. When evaluating mass signals, we pointed out that high amplitudes of the low network oscillations facilitated the estimation (see section 4.3.1 on page 124). This is still true, because also in the estimated FR (prior to the spike detection), the frequencies better estimated are the lowest (data not shown). As a results, the correlation between the spike train estimation performances and the product of the average firing rate for the low frequency power is equal (LFP) or higher (EEG; but not lower) to the correlation with the average firing rate alone (see panels (E,F) in figures 4.25 and 4.26). To conclude the analysis of the spike train estimation, we investigated how the performances vary with the dtaccuracy (in a range between 10 and 102 ms) used to compare estimated and original spike trains (see section 4.2.6). In figure 4.27 we plot the median sensitivity obtained both when using the threshold to obtain the same number of estimated spikes as in the true spike train (panels (A,C)) and the threshold to obtained always an high average firing rate (i.e., 9.4 Hz, see section 4.2.4.3 on page 108; panels (B,D)). This figure shows that for dtaccuracy50 ms, the Wiener filter gives always performances better than the GLM. On the other hand, with the smallest value of dtaccuracy (i.e., 10 ms), the (very low) performance obtained without filtering the mass signals are very close to the one obtained with the filtering procedure and in some cases not significantly lower (p>0.05, according to one-tailed Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests).

+4.3 Results
+Firing rate estimation
+We quantified the similarity between original and estimated FRs by means of mutual information. In particular, we computed the information between FR and FRest after binning the signals in two values which represent respectively a probability of firing equal to zero or higher (for details, see caption figure 4.28). Interestingly, we found (see figure 4.28) that by applying the filter we obtained a more precise estimation of the time intervals when the FR is higher than zero (in addition to the increase of similarity between the position of the peaks in the estimated and true FRs, figures 4.23 and 4.24). On the other hand, the comparison with GLM shows that the filter performances are only in few cases better than the GLM ones. This is not surprising, since the GLM is based on the network gamma oscillations, which, during slow wave oscillations, are strongly locked with the firing activity (mainly for the LFP, see panel (C) in figure 4.5) (Mukovski et al. 2007).
+We next focused on the FR estimation performances, by analyzing the similarity between the true and the estimated FRs (prior to the use of the spike-detection threshold). Remember that the (true) FR signal is obtained from the spike train and depends on the spike smoothing window chosen that, in our analysis, is 10 ms. After computing FRest, we convolved both the original and the estimated FRs with an Hann window of a given amplitude and eventually we measured the Spearman's correlation between the signals. In figure 4.29, the median correlation is shown as a function of the amplitude of the window used. In this analysis we smoothed the FRs after the estimation. However, we obtained similar results also when using from the beginning spike smoothing windows (to compute the original FR, see section on page 105) of the given amplitudes and then computing the associated filters, without performing a final smoothing (see figure 4.30). Interestingly, we note that the FR estimation performances obtained with the Wiener filter are not better than the ones obtained respectively without filtering the mass signals and by using the GLM (i.e., p > 0.05 according to Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests, see figures 4.29 and 4.30), whereas, by applying the threshold to detect spikes, the filter's performances are higher than in the other models (see panels (B,D) in figures 4.23 and 4.24). Thus, while the overall shape of estimated FR is very similar over the three models used, the positions of the peak are more close to the original ones when using the Wiener filter to estimate the FR.
+We conclude this section by showing the scatter plots of the FR estimation performances. We already showed the same scatter plots when estimating both the mass signals and the spike trains. In fact they are useful to confirm our observations about the contributions of respectively average firing rates and low frequencies of network oscillations in shaping the

+Figure 4.28: Information between the true and the estimated FR. In order to compute information (see section 2.2.1), the original and estimated FRs are firstly smoothed with an Hann window 50ms wide and then their values are binned into two values (0 and 1). For the true FR, all the values above 0 are set to 1, while for the FRest, the values less or equal to the spike-detection threshold are set to 0 and the ones above to 1. (A) Information between FR and FRest when using a trial-specific filter as a function of the F R est class compared with the null hypothesis given by the information obtained from a trial-specific GLM (magenta circles) and by using directly the LFP signal to estimate the FR (green circles). *p < 0.05 based on one-tailed Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests.

We are interested in comparing the level of information across the methods, thus, since the bias is always the same, we do not adopt any bias correction.

+relationship between single-unit firing and mass signals. In the FRest (like in LFPest and EEGest) the frequencies better estimated are the lowest (as stated above). Since FRs (unlike spike trains) are analogue signals, as a result there is an increase of the correlations between the FR estimation performances and the low powers of the mass signals with respect to the spike train estimation (see figures 4.31 and 4.32). However, we found that the correlation of the performances with the product of average firing rate and low frequency power is respectively equal (LFP) or higher (EEG; but not lower) to the correlation obtained by considering each variable singularly (see panels (E,F) in figures 4.31 and 4.32), like in case of spike train estimation.
+4.3.3 Causality in the estimation
+As explained in section 2.3.3 on page 42, the estimations we performed above were acausal. An interesting question is whether there is a dominant direction of causality between spiking and mass activity, or in other words whether the spike times directly caused the mass signal changes or instead the spike times were biased or caused by changes in the mass signal measures. This can be investigated by considering the temporal relationships between signals. Indeed, in the Wiener-Granger spirit (Granger 1980), one signal may cause the other if its changes consistently anticipate the changes in the other signal (and thus the signal past consistently helps to predict the other signal better than its own past alone). That this may be the case is suggested by the fact that the peaks of the filters are not centered on 0 time lag (and that the filters are not symmetric with respect to the filter peak position). To investigate this issue further, we repeated the analysis (in case of cell-specific and general filters) using both causal and anti-causal filters. The causal filters were obtained by setting to zero the Wiener filters for negative time lags, whereas the anti-causal filters by setting to zero the positive time lag values. Since the acausal filter is the optimal one, the performances will decrease by using other filters. Thus, we quantified the performance reductions to see if and to which extent the causal (or anti-causal) component has a higher weight in the estimation.
+In table 4.1, it is shown the reduction of the performances in case of LFP and EEG estimation. The performance reduction is smaller when the filter is causal, in agreement with the fact that the peaks of the general filters were at positive time lags (see figure 4.9), indeed the performances obtained with the casual filters are statistically higher than the ones obtained with the anti-causal filters.

+Interestingly, the same relationships were observed when estimating the LFP from the spiking activity of pyramidal neurons in deep layers (see section 4.2.2 on page 98), as shown in table 4.3. This is in agreement with the fact that, also in that case, the peak of the general filter was at a positive time lag (see panel (B) in figure 4.19).

+Table 4.3: Comparison between the effects of performing causal and anti-causal estimation of LFPs from SUA of excitatory neurons. The spiking activity comes from pyramidal neurons of deep layers (i.e., 5 or 6) and the LFP is recorded at the same depth (3 mice, 7 cells and 23 trials). The table shows the same analysis as in table 4.1. We found that also with this dataset, when estimating mass signal, the performance reduction is significantly smaller with casual kernels.
+
+Thus, we can conclude that the position of the general filter peak indicates which signal anticipates the other. In particular, in the spk2LFP/EEG estimation, the causal filters work better than the anti-causal, while the opposite is true when estimating the firing activity. Therefore, during slow wave oscillations, the spiking activity (of both inhibitory and excitatory neurons) anticipates and causes mass signals variations, rather than the other way around. This suggests that the types of cells considered here play an important part in the generation of the slow wave cycle captured by the mass signal.

+5 Chapter 5 Conclusions
+The motivation of this work was rooted in the following two questions: how can we model the relationship between the single-neuron level and the dynamics observed at the level of population of neurons? How can we study this empirically by analyzing joint recordings? In section 5.1 we summarized the results and discussed their implications when the investigation was performed in a modelling framework, while in section 5.2, we reported the results obtained from the analysis of concomitant LFPs/EEGs and single-unit activity. The implications of these findings, as well as further questions that arise from this work, are reported in the following.
+5.1 Modeling the relationship between the dynamics of single neurons and population of neurons
+In chapter 3 we compared in detail the neural population dynamics of recurrent LIF networks when adopting two different models for the synaptic currents at the single-neuron level, namely current-based or conductance-based models. In the former case, the post synaptic potentials of each kind of synapses were constant (see equation 3.5), while in the conductance-based models, the PSPs depended on the membrane potential of the post synaptic neuron (see equation 3.6). The comparison of network dynamics was made on networks with all shared parameters set to an equal common value, and with model-specific synaptic parameters set by a novel recursive procedure that makes conductance-based networks (COBN) and current-based networks (CUBN) directly comparable. This means that the differences we found when analyzing the dynamics of population of neurons in
+149
+
+5 Conclusions
+the two networks did not depend on the parameter setting, but they were only due to the consequences of adopting a different model at the single-neuron level. Our main result was that, although average firing rates and peak frequency of gamma LFP oscillations in such comparable networks were very similar over a wide range of parameters, other aspects of neural population dynamics (such as shape of oscillation spectra or cross-neuron correlation) were significantly different between CUBN and COBN. In particular, oscillation spectra, gamma synchronization and cross-neuron correlation were more markedly modulated by the external input in COBN than in CUBN. The significance of these findings, and their relationship with both theoretical and experimental literature, is discussed in the following.
+5.1.1 Establishing comparable networks
+The first contribution of the work presented here was to provide a new recursive algorithm to determine the COBN conductance values that correspond to a given set of CUBN synaptic efficacies in networks that have identical values for all the shared parameters. We found that this procedure was able to build two networks displaying relatively small differences, both in the average firing rates and in the gamma frequency peak position, for an input range sufficiently large to encompass both low- and high-conductance states (Destexhe et al. 2003). The relationship of our new procedure with the previous work we built on is discussed in the following.
+In a previous work addressing the issue of building equivalent CUBN and COBN models (La Camera et al. 2004), the authors discarded the approach of setting synaptic conductances at fixed average MP (i.e., the one we used in this work) stating that "Although this might work for a single input, it does not work for all inputs in a large pool (results not shown)." La Camera and colleagues proposed instead to build equivalent networks by making both inhibitory and excitatory connectivity free parameters, so that the optimal equivalence was obtained when the CUBN had twice the excitatory and half the inhibitory connectivity of the COBN. Differently from this procedure, in our work all the common parameters of the two networks were identical, including the connectivity matrix. This, in our view, has the advantage that differences in network dynamics can be more directly imputed to changes in model synaptic dynamics. Meffin et al. (2004) determined the value of the conductances starting from a "fixed rough estimate of the average MP" set as the midpoint between threshold and reset potential. The difference with our work is that we used directly the actual average value of the MP of the neurons of each population. Note that there is a discrepancy between the two values since the true average MP was equal or slightly below the reset potential (figure 3.7D). In extensive initial simulations, we found that using the
+150
+
+5.1 Modeling the relationship between single-neurons and population of neurons
+average MP, rather than the midpoint between threshold and reset potential, made it much easier for the comparable networks to exhibit very close firing rates and gamma spectral peaks (results not shown). In summary, the comparable networks established with our procedure exhibited average firing rate and position of the peak of the LFP power spectrum that were both similar across network models and were relatively robust to changes in the synaptic reversal potentials. In our view this strengthens the value and usefulness of the setting procedure introduced.
+5.1.2 Effects of synaptic models on network activity
+Previous seminal papers (Meffin et al. 2004, Kuhn et al. 2004, Richardson 2004) compared the firing rate and MP of conductance- and current-based LIF neurons. Our findings, summarized in table 3.4, confirmed the main results of these previous works, and extended them in several ways. Our main contribution was to extend the comparison to include other aspects of neural population dynamics. In particular, we considered the effect of the synaptic models on the spectrum of network activity, on the cross-neuron correlations and on the stimulus modulation of these different network features. The significance of these advances is discussed in more detail below.
+Correlation dynamics in the networks
+Despite the average firing rate was very similar in comparable COBNs and CUBNs, spike trains of different neurons were more correlated in the COBNs than in the CUBNs, with the correlation difference increasing with the external input rate. The fact that the COBN spike train correlation was more strongly modulated by the input rate led to the fact that spike train correlation carried more information in the COBN. In our networks, the neurons received inputs from the same simulated external pool and this led to values of shared input that were likely higher than those shared by pairs of cortical neurons recorded from different electrodes. However, in the COBN, the dependence of correlation on the network stimuli resembled qualitatively the one observed in real experiments, more than in the CUBN. First, the positive correlation between firing rate intensity and spike train correlation is often observed in neurophysiological experiments, (Kohn & Smith 2005), and this behavior is only reproduced by the COBN. Further, MP of cortical neurons (Lampl et al. 1999) (but see also (Yu & Ferster 2010)) are more correlated when they receive an input triggering a stronger response (i.e., having a higher contrast/the
+151
+
+5 Conclusions
+correct orientation). This resembles the dynamics displayed here by the COBN, but not by the CUBN. Moreover, in several experiments (Isaacson & Scanziani 2011) and references therein), the correlation between AMPA and GABA synaptic inputs is stronger the more intense is the stimulus, consistent with the COBN dynamics shown in figure 3.10A. The high values of correlation that we found in the COBN might, at first sight, look different from those of Renart et al. (2010) in which a conductance-based LIF network, with a structure similar to the one considered here, displayed a much smaller MP correlation thanks to the decorrelation due to a precise balance between excitation and inhibition. In other words, in that work, AMPA-GABA correlation and cross-neuron MP correlation were described as mutually exclusive. We think that the reason for the difference between their results and those obtained in our work is the crucial assumption of Renart et al. (2010) that AMPA and GABA timescales are identical. In a supplemental analysis the authors showed indeed that, when AMPA synapses were made progressively faster than GABA, the negative feedback was not fast enough to compensate for excitation and hence to decorrelate the neurons; the network became then more synchronized. When in Renart et al. (2010) the authors considered the case in which r-exc = 2 ms and r-inh = 5 ms (very close to our values, see table 3.1), the correlation between GABA and AMPA currents reached values above 0.5, coherent with our results (figure 3.10A).
+Frequency spectra of network activity
+We also compared the frequency spectra of the network activity (as measured by LFP) in COBN and in CUBN. A marked difference was in the larger amount of information and stronger stimulus modulation of the gamma range for COBN. This, in our view, may be explained as follows. When increasing the external input rate, we observed an increase of the cross-neuron spike train correlation in the COBN, which was associated with an increase of the cross-neuron correlation of the synaptic currents (both AMPA and GABA). This caused a stronger modulation of the COBN currents and consequently of the LFP gamma peak. The stronger modulation of the gamma band in turn contributed to the fact that, both when time-constant and time-varying inputs were injected, the COBN carried more information than the CUBN in the gamma band. Neurophysiological recordings of LFP spectra modulation in visual cortex during stimulation with various kinds of visual stimuli (Henrie & Shapley 2005, Belitski et al. 2008) reported much broader gamma peaks than the ones we found for COBNs. The width of gamma peaks reported in cortical data was more similar to the broad gamma peak generated by CUBN rather than to the sharp peak generated by the COBN. We hypothesize that the
+152
+
+5.2 Analyzing the relationship between cell-type specific single-unit firing and mass signals
+sharpness of the COBN gamma peak may be over-emphasized by the lack of neuron-toneuron heterogeneity in the specific network models implemented here. Introducing a small degree of variability in neuronal parameters could decrease the correlation in COBN while keeping it stimulus-dependent. An important point for future research is to understand how heterogeneities in network parameters differentially affect COBN and CUBN dynamics. A final point worth discussing is that the COBN, unlike the CUBN, showed considerable amounts of information about input strength in the LFP power in the frequency range 15� 25 Hz. Notably, the power of real visual cortical LFPs (Belitski et al. 2008) also did not carry information in this frequency range. Belitski and coworkers hypothesized that the 15�25 Hz LFP frequency region related mainly to stimulus-independent neuromodulation. The additive contribution to the LFP of fluctuations generated by a stimulus-unrelated system would potentially cancel out the information generated by the network in this frequency range.
+5.2 Analyzing the relationship between cell-type specific single-unit firing and mass signals
+In chapter 4, we investigated the features and the dynamics of the empirical relationship between spiking activity of individual neurons and mass signals. The spiking activity came from both inhibitory and excitatory identified neurons, while the concurrently recorded mass signals was measured as LFPs and EEGs in mice under anesthesia. In particular, we analyzed if and to which extent the spiking activity of single neurons can be estimated in a general and blind way from the mass signals and vice versa. We also characterized (i) how the estimation is significant and if it is robust when increasing the generality of the algorithm used, (ii) which variables mainly affect the relationship between SUAs and mass signals and finally (iii) if there is an empirical causal direction in the relationship.
+5.2.1 Stability of the relationship
+We showed that, during slow wave oscillations, we can estimate in a general way the slow oscillations of mass signals from the spiking activity of a single neuron, both inhibitory (fast-spiking) and excitatory. More precisely, we estimated with a strong accuracy the LFP (median Spearman's correlation, rs , around 0.6) and, with a good accuracy, even the EEG ( rs around 0.5) from the spiking activity of fast-spiking interneurons in layer 2. Similar results were obtained also when estimating the LFP from the spiking activity

+5 Conclusions
+of a pyramidal neuron ( rs around 0.5) in deep layers. On the other hand, we were able to estimate (with a precision of 26 ms) in median the 30% of the spike times (mainly depending on the average firing rate) of a single fast-spiking neuron from the mass signals recorded (i.e., LFPs and EEGs). The estimations were performed with a simple linear model to which we added a non-linear threshold in order to detect spike times. We found that, in both directions, the estimations were highly significant. In particular, in case of spike train estimation, the spikes were not simply placed at chance level where the estimated FR was high (i.e., above thresholds), but the positions of the peaks were actually related to the spike times. We also verified that the filtering procedure was really useful to increase the performances and we finally made a comparison with the general linear model used in (Whittingstall & Logothetis 2009), founding that the Wiener filter gave very similar results when estimating FR, but higher performances when evaluating spike times. Furthermore the results of all the estimations performed were remarkably stable across cells and animals, allowing a truly general estimation with no reduction in the performances.
+The relationship between mass signals and the underlying spiking activity has been investigated widely using spike-triggered average and more complex techniques during both sensory stimulation and absence of stimulus (Schwartz et al. 2006, Rasch et al. 2008, 2009, Nauhaus et al. 2009, Okun et al. 2010, Zanos et al. 2012, Hall et al. 2014, Whittingstall & Logothetis 2009). In particular, Rasch et al. (2009) used animal-specific Wiener filters to estimate the firing rate of MUAs from LFPs and Hall et al. (2014) applied a similar method to estimate LFPs from the SUAs of multiple (not specified) neurons. The same groups performed also the linear estimation in the opposite direction, by computing the firing rate (Hall et al. 2014) and the spike times (Rasch et al. 2008) from the LFP. Whittingstall & Logothetis (2009) used general linear models based on frequency decomposition of EEG (and LFP) to reconstruct the firing rate of MUAs. However, to our knowledge, this is the first case in which this estimation has been performed from the activity of an individual (genetically-identified) GABAergic interneuron and by using the same filter across all the animals to estimate mass signals. Note that LFPs integrate the postsynaptic signals coming from hundreds to thousands of neurons (Logothetis 2003), and EEG integrates signals on even a wider area than LFP. On the other hand, the activity of a single neuron is a more localized signal than the multi-unit activity, which has been used in the majority of the above mentioned works. Furthermore the interneurons, due to their geometrical arrangement, are likely to generate small dipoles (compared with pyramidal neurons) when active (Murakami & Okada 2006). For these reasons, the strong and robust relationship found between mass signals and single-unit spike trains is not trivially expected a priori. It reflects the strong synchronization in the

+cortex activity observed during slow wave oscillations, which is able to recruit also the interneuron activity suggesting the existence of a robust control mechanism of interneurons on network dynamics. We found a very strong coupling even between the firing activity of single pyramidal neurons and LFP, indeed, in presence of a strong reduction in the average firing rates (median of 1.7 Hz, while it was 4.5 Hz for fast-spiking neurons), which is a fundamental variable when performing a linear reconstruction, the estimation performances decrease only slightly . This is not surprising since the majority of the works that investigated the relationship between LFPs/EEGs and firing activity considered actually the firing activity of pyramidal neurons (see section 4.1 on page 93).
+5.2.2 Variables shaping the relationship
+The estimation performances varied a lot from trial to trial (being relatively constant for trials of the same cell) overall resulting in a wide range of values. Our purpose is both to understand how the mass signals time courses relate to the underlying spiking activity of single neurons and to develop a general blind toolbox to estimate the EEGs and the LFPs from SUAs and vice versa, with known estimation accuracy. These questions are of paramount importance (i) to understand how mass signals rely on the underlying neural computation, (ii) to understand how the firing of single cells relates to the circuit "context" which led the neuron to fire (iii) and also for neuroprosthetic applications. To achieve these goals, we investigated more in detail how the performances of each trial are determined. In particular, we analyzed the correlation properties of the performances with different features of both mass signals and spiking activity. We found that the variables mainly shaping the estimation performances are the average firing rate and the power of the low frequencies of the mass signals. Both of them are positively correlated with the performances (and the highest correlation is usually observed with the product of average firing rate and power spectrum), but their relative weight depends on the estimation performed. When estimating continuous signals (i.e., LFPs, EEGs and FRs), the relative contributions of average firing rate and low power of the LFP or EEG depend on the synchronization between the firing activity and the mass signals. If the firing activity is synchronized with the mass signals (as in the LFP case), when increasing the average firing rate the performances strongly increase, because we have more spikes to reconstruct the signals and
+155
+
+5 Conclusions
+in the "right" places1. On the other hand, when investigating the relationship between EEGs and SUAs, the synchronization between FRs and mass signals is lower and the weight of low frequencies power in determining the performances increases. This is due to the fact that the slowest oscillations are the strongest, therefore the ones better estimated with a linear method (in agreement with previous results Rasch et al. 2009, Hall et al. 2014). The more low frequencies we have, the higher the performances will be (while a high number of spikes is not useful, since the spikes could be no synchronized with the EEG signal). When estimating spike trains, instead, the performance shows always the largest correlation with the average firing rate (for estimation from both LFPs and EEGs). In that case, indeed, we only take into account the positions of the peaks in the estimated FR and (even due to the increase of synchronization between mass signals and firing rate when increasing the average firing rate) the more spikes there are, the more likely the FRest peaks will be close to the original ones. On the other hand, when the firing activity is too sparse, a threshold applied on a linearly estimated signal cannot efficiently detect the spike times.
+5.2.3 Causality in the relationship
+An important and open issue in the comprehension of the interactions occurring between single-cell dynamics and the dynamics of mesoscopic and macroscopic circuits of neurons is given by the causality in the relationship between these two levels of investigation. The LFP is mostly generated by the totality of synaptic input and local processing in a region (Rasch et al. 2008), however, the way it is related to the spiking output of underlying neurons is unknown. In other words: mass signals, such as LFPs and EEGs, can be considered as the "input" for the network spiking dynamics, being thus responsible for the underlying single-neuron activity, or vice versa the collective single-neuron activities causally shape the time course of the mass signals? Probably no one of these two extreme cases describes the truth, since the neural circuits in the cerebral cortex are characterized by recurrent connections, complex patterns of excitation and inhibition and inputs from multiple structures (Douglas et al. 1989, Douglas & Martin 2004). Thus we did not assume any a-priori causal constraint in the investigation of the relationship between SUAs and mass signals and our estimation were not causal (indeed the filters were not equal to zero for negative time lags). This means that we could use spikes fired in t > t to estimate mass signals in tand vice versa.
+To have a deeper insight about the causality issue, we tested if and to which extent the
+1This has been found when the firing activity comes both from fast-spiking interneurons and pyramidal neurons, data shown only for interneurons.
+156
+
+5.3 Perspectives
+performances are affected when imposing a causal direction in the relation between SUAs and mass signals. We cross-validated the results by repeated the analysis on both the directions of estimation (i.e., spk2LFP/EEG and LFP/EEG2spk) and we found concordant results. In particular, when assuming that the single-neuron spiking activity causally shapes the mass signal fluctuations, the estimation performances were less affected with respect to imposing an anti-causal relation (analogously to what found by Rasch et al. (2009) when estimating the LFPs from MUAs during visual stimulation). This was observed for both interneuron in layer 2 and pyramidal neurons in deep layers. In conclusion, we found that spike times anticipate changes in the time course of mass signals in a reliable way (and vice versa), thus, from an empirical point of view, the spiking activity of single neurons can be viewed as a "stimulus" for the mass signals. This result is not obvious and requires further investigations, indeed the spiking activity is usually considered as the output of a cortical area, whereas the LFP as the processing of the entire subthreshold local signals (Logothetis 2008).
+5.3 Perspectives
+In chapter 3, we investigated the effects of assuming different single-neuron models on network dynamics as a function of the input to the network. In that network model there were two sources of noise. The first was due to the stochastic process, which affected the time varying rates, ext(t), identical for all neurons. The second source of noise, instead, was due to the fact that each neuron received an independent realization of the Poisson process with rate ext(t). The fluctuations due to this second source of noise were uncorrelated across neurons and, in particular, they increased with the input rate. However, noise in the brain is correlated across neurons, meaning the fluctuations in the response of a neuron at fixed stimulus are correlated with the fluctuations of other neurons (Averbeck et al. 2006). If assuming the noise is uncorrelated, the investigation of network dynamics is simpler and population coding is relatively well understood (Averbeck et al. 2006). Therefore, for the computational work, it is important to extend the theories to take into account noise correlation and, in particular, to investigate how correlated noise affect network dynamics. Thus, a direction of further investigation would be to disentangle the role of changes in the mean input rate (that is a source of correlated noise) from the ones of changes in the variance of the input across neurons (that is a source of uncorrelated noise) in shaping network dynamics. Another very interesting direction for further research consists on the the analysis of network dynamics when changing the topology of the network (Prettejohn et al. 2011).
+157
+
+5 Conclusions
+In our view, it would be worth investigating for example, the effect of changing synaptic dynamics and other biophysical parameters in networks composed of clusters of strongly interconnected neurons (Litwin-Kumar & Doiron 2012) and compare it with the dynamics generated by the random connectivity that we adopted. Studies like this would help to understand the relationship between the anatomical pattern of synaptic connections and the pattern of functional connectivity (defined as the set of statistical dependencies between the activity of the elements of the neural network). This is a hot topic in neuroscience (Fasoli et al. 2015, Deco et al. 2013, Cabral et al. 2012, Eickhoff et al. 2010, Ponten et al. 2010, Sporns et al. 2004) In the work described in chapter 4, we focused on the relationship between single-neuron activity and mesoscopic or macroscopic signals, as measured respectively by LFPs or EEGs. We found that the relationships of SUAs with respectively LFPs and EEGs have some similarities (for example, the shapes of the filters, the estimation robustness when using more general filters, the empirical causal direction of the relationships etc...). This is not surprising, indeed, the LFPs are considered as the building blocks of EEG signals (da Silva 2013) or, analogously, a more localized variant of the EEGs (Whittingstall & Logothetis 2009). Nevertheless this represents a first approximation of the relationship occurring between LFPs and EEGs. In order to gain a better insight about this relation, we could take advantage of the fact that in our datasets SUA, LFP and EEG are simultaneously recorded. Thus, we could investigate more in detail which aspects of the relationship between SUA and LFP differs from the one existing between SUA and EEG. In particular, we could identify which dynamics in the relationship between EEGs and SUAs are less reliable (with respect to the LFP-SUA case), for example, by performing frequency decomposition of the mass signals and studying the locking of SUAs with phase and power of network oscillations. In the end, the next purpose will be to investigate the relationship between LFPs and EEGs by pointing out the dynamics responsible for the performance decrease observed when estimating single-neuron FR from EEG (and vice versa).

+Acknowledgements
+First and foremost, my deepest gratitude goes to my Ph.D. supervisor Professor Stefano Panzeri, which gave me the opportunity to enter the fascinating field of neuroscience. I wish to thank Alberto Mazzoni and Daniel Chicharro for many valuable suggestions and (not only scientific) discussions, for sharing thoughts and support during these years... it was really a pleasure to share the office with you! I cannot avoid to mention Rupan Raventos, which has been an example of consistency for all of us. A special thank to Pietro Salvagnini for his friendship and for being always available to help me and to answer my questions. I am also grateful to Cesare Magri for a first version of the code I used to perform my work. I am not forgetting Stefano Zucca, Tommaso Fellin and other colleagues in the laboratory of Tommaso Fellin, which kindly provided me with the data for the analysis performed in this thesis. I want to thank Alessandro Maccione for his motivating words when I really needed them and Paolo Mereghetti, which has been my last office mate at IIT... before the "diaspora". Thanks to my family which stood by me in all the good and bad moments. I simply would not be here without their love and dedication... Finally, thanks to my wife, Elisabetta, which was surprisingly able to give me unexpected wonderful times in everyday life... you have been my constant source of energy and motivation.
+PS: � stato divertente giocare in allegria, c'� un solo inconveniente che il tempo vola via... Addio addio amici addio.

+Introducci�on
+La extensi�on de la Teor�ia de Campos de temperatura cero a temperaturas y densidades finitas es un paso natural que se produjo hace medio siglo [1, 2, 3, 4]. La Teor�ia de Campos a Temperatura y Densidad Finitas (TCTDF) [5, 6, 7], se desarroll�o a partir de la Teor�ia Relativista de Muchos Cuerpos, y constituye una amalgama de Teor�ia de Campos y Meca�nica Estad�istica. Es aplicable en aquellos problemas de la f�isica teo�rica de part�iculas que tienen caracter�isticas de muchos cuerpos. A nivel teo�rico se necesitan formulaciones apropiadas del problema t�ermico, para el cual se disponen de varios formalismos. Dos ejemplos son el formalismo de Tiempo Imaginario y el de Tiempo Real [8]. A pesar de la larga experiencia acumulada en este campo, muchos de los problemas planteados inicialmente au�n siguen abiertos.
+Muchos son los logros de la TCTDF y se esperan muchos ma�s. Por una parte permite estudiar las teor�ias ya existentes ma�s all�a del contexto en el que inicialmente fueron creadas. Esto significa explorar las propiedades de la materia en condiciones extremas, con altas temperaturas y densidades. Un ejemplo de esto es la teor�ia de QCD [9], que se cre�o como un intento de desarrollar una teor�ia fundamental de las interacciones fuertes. La TCTDF aplicada a QCD [10] predice que cuando la temperatura y las densidades aumentan, existe una transici�on a una fase en la que los quarks y gluones est�an deconfinados (fase de desconfinamiento del color). TCTDF predice, por tanto, la existencia de un plasma de quarks y gluones que, de hecho, deber�ia existir en los primeros instantes del universo, de acuerdo con los modelos cosmolo�gicos actuales. Esto tiene importantes consecuencias en el campo de la astrof�isica, ya que la transici�on de fase podr�ia haber jugado un papel muy importante en la formacio�n de materia oscura. Otro campo donde la TCTDF est�a dando frutos importantes es en el contexto de las colisiones de iones pesados a muy alta energ�ia. El hecho de que la transici�on de fase de QCD ocurra a temperaturas no excesivamente altas Tc  200 MeV hace que estas condiciones se puedan estudiar en el laboratorio. Existen estudios importantes de esta nueva fase de la materia en laboratorios actuales [BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC)] [11] y es previsible que se continu�en posteriormente en futuras instalaciones: Large Hadron Collider (LHC) en el CERN, y Schwerionen-Synchrotron (SIS 200) en el GSI. Finalmente, un tercer lugar donde pueden surgir tales condiciones extremas es en el interior de estrellas de neutrones, donde la densidad es superior a la densidad nuclear.

+
+Cap�itulo 1: Introduccio�n
+
+Existen distintas t�ecnicas para estudiar el comportamiento de QCD en funci�on de la temperatura y la densidad. Estas t�ecnicas se pueden agrupar en tres categor�ias diferentes: los m�etodos perturbativos, los modelos efectivos de QCD en el ret�iculo y los m�etodos semicl�asicos (instantones) [10].
+
+1.1. Cromodin�amica Cu�antica
+
+La Cromodin�amica Cu�antica (QCD, Quantum Chromodynamics) fue desarrollada al comienzo de los an~os setenta y responde al intento de mucha gente de crear una teor�ia fundamental que d�e cuenta de las interacciones fuertes [12, 13, 14]. Se trata de una teor�ia cua�ntica de campos renormalizable. Sus campos fundamentales son espinores de Dirac que describen part�iculas de esp�in 1/2, llamados quarks, y campos gauge correspondientes a part�iculas de esp�in 1, llamados gluones. Al contrario que QED (Quantum Electrodynamics) que es una teor�ia abeliana, QCD es una teor�ia gauge no abeliana basada en el grupo gauge de color SU(Nc), de modo que constituye una generalizacio�n de la teor�ia de QED para el electromagnetismo. Tanto los quarks como los gluones, que son las part�iculas intermediarias de la interaccio�n fuerte, llevan asociada una carga, llamada color. Como resultado los gluones pueden interaccionar consigo mismos y con los quarks. QCD viene descrita por el siguiente lagrangiano

+
++
+
+Nf
+
+qi(�D� + mi)qi ,
+
+i=1
+
+D� = � + A� , F� = [D�, D] ,
+
+(1.1)
+
+donde A� = Aa�Ta son los campos de los gluones, F� = F�aTa es el tensor Field Strength de SU(Nc), Ta son los generadores herm�iticos de SU(Nc) y qi son campos de quarks de varios sabores. La teor�ia viene parametrizada por una u�nica constante de acoplamiento g y por los para�metros mi correspondientes a la masa desnuda de los quarks. La evidencia experimental indica que hay tres grados de libertad de color (Nc = 3), llamados tradicionalmente rojo, verde y azul, y seis sabores de quarks (Nf = 6). Los quarks de tipo up, down y strange son relativamente ligeros, mientras que charm, bottom y top son pesados.
+Gran parte del �exito de la teor�ia reside en su habilidad para reproducir el comportamiento casi sin interaccio�n de los quarks a muy cortas distancias [15]. Esta propiedad de la teor�ia, que se conoce como libertad asint�otica, explica el escalamiento aproximado que se observa en las colisiones profundamente inela�sticas de leptones con hadrones [16, 17]. QCD tambi�en parece consistente con mucha de la fenomenolog�ia existente sobre las interacciones fuertes, como la simetr�ia quiral aproximada, la noci�on de confinamiento de color o ciertos modelos de hadrones como el bag o el string.
+La teor�ia de QCD presenta varias simetr�ias. En primer lugar es invariante bajo el grupo de simetr�ia local SU(Nc), lo cual implica por ejemplo que la masa de los quarks es independiente de su color. Cuando la masa de los quarks es igual a cero, el lagrangiano de QCD (1.1) es invariante bajo el grupo de simetr�ia global SU(Nf )L�SU(Nf )R, el cual
+
+1.2 Simetr�ia del centro y transici�on de fase de QCD
+
+15
+
+se suele designar como grupo de simetr�ia quiral [18]. Adema�s existe una simetr�ia global U(1)B relacionada con la conservaci�on del nu�mero bari�onico y una simetr�ia global axial U(1)A.
+Los generadores del �algebra quiral son conservados y ser�ia de esperar que las part�iculas formaran multipletes degenerados correspondientes a las representaciones irreducibles de este grupo. Pero no existe evidencia de que exista esta estructura de multipletes tan amplia, lo cual lleva a la idea de que la simetr�ia SU(Nf )L � SU(Nf )R est�a espont�aneamente rota. A temperatura cero, o en general a baja temperatura, el estado fundamental de la teor�ia rompe espont�aneamente esta simetr�ia al grupo SU(Nf )V
+
+SU(Nf )L � SU(Nf )R -R-ES SU(Nf )V .
+
+(1.2)
+
+De acuerdo con el teorema de Goldstone esta rotura de la simetr�ia implica la existencia de Nf2 - 1 bosones de Goldstone pseudo-escalares sin masa. Para Nf = 2 estos son los tres piones +, - y 0, y para Nf = 3 tenemos, adema�s de los anteriores, los cuatro kaones K+, K-, K0 y K� 0, y el meso�n . La rotura de esta simetr�ia conduce adema�s a la aparicio�n de condensados de quarks de la forma qq = 0. Podemos pensar en qq como en un para�metro de orden que caracteriza la rotura de la simetr�ia quiral. Cuando la temperatura se incrementa por encima de un cierto valor Tc, la simetr�ia se recupera y el condensado de quarks se hace cero.
+
+1.2. Simetr�ia del centro y transici�on de fase de QCD
+
+En gluodin�amica pura, esto es en ausencia de fermiones, la teor�ia presenta una simetr�ia
+
+global extra asociada al centro Z(Nc) del grupo gauge de color SU(Nc). En el formalismo
+
+de tiempo imaginario, la simetr�ia Z(Nc) es generada por la accio�n de transformaciones
+
+gauge locales que son peri�odicas en la variable temporal, salvo un elemento arbitrario del
+
+centro
+
+U (1/T, x) = z U (0, x) , z = ei2n/Nc .
+
+(1.3)
+
+La transici�on a la fase de desconfinamiento puede verse como la rotura espont�anea de la
+simetr�ia del centro a temperaturas suficientemente altas. Un para�metro de orden natural para la simetr�ia Z(Nc) es el valor esperado del loop de Polyakov,1 que se define como
+
+L(T ) := P(x, T ) =
+
+1 Nc
+
+trc
+
+T
+
+e-
+
+1/T 0
+
+dx0 A0 (x,x0 )
+
+,
+
+(1.4)
+
+donde indica valor esperado en el vac�io, trc es la traza en espacio de color (en representacio�n fundamental), y T indica ordenacio�n a lo largo del camino de integracio�n. A0 es la componente temporal del campo glu�onico (en tiempo eucl�ideo). Bajo una transformaci�on
+
+1En esta memoria se hara� uso en ocasiones de una terminolog�ia anglosajosa para algunas palabras, y se evitara� su traduccio�n con el fin de que el lector pueda identificar estos conceptos en la bibliograf�ia. 'Loop de Polyakov' puede traducirse como 'bucle de Polyakov'.
+
+16
+
+Cap�itulo 1: Introduccio�n
+
+gauge con simetr�ia del centro, el loop de Polyakov transforma P  zP, de modo que en la fase en que la teor�ia presenta la simetr�ia Z(Nc) (fase de confinamiento del color), el loop de Polyakov necesariamente vale cero. En la fase de desconfinamiento esta simetr�ia estara� espont�aneamente rota, y eso vendr�a caracterizado por un valor no nulo para el loop de Polyakov. C�alculos recientes muestran que en una teor�ia glu�onica pura con Nc = 3 esta transici�on ocurre a una temperatura cr�itica Tc  270 MeV [19], y se trata de una transici�on de primer orden.
+F�isicamente el promedio t�ermico del loop de Polyakov en la representacio�n fundamental determina la energ�ia libre relativa al vac�io de un u�nico quark,
+
+e-Fq(x)/T = P(x, T ) ,
+
+(1.5)
+
+y la funci�on de correlacio�n de dos loops de Polyakov conduce a la energ�ia libre de un par
+
+quark-antiquark,
+
+e-Fq�q(x-y)/T = P(x, T )P(y, T ) .
+
+(1.6)
+
+La renormalizaci�on del loop de Polyakov es un problema que hoy en d�ia est�a abierto [20]. Recientemente se ha desarrollado un m�etodo para renormalizar el loop de Polyakov en el ret�iculo [21, 22], y consiste b�asicamente en el c�alculo de la energ�ia libre a partir de la funci�on de correlacio�n de dos loops de Polyakov, ec. (1.6). Los datos que se obtienen muestran un comportamiento que difiere claramente del predicho por teor�ia de perturbaciones [23] en la regio�n cercana a la transici�on de fase, de modo que los efectos no perturbativos parecen ser dominantes en esta zona de temperaturas.
+Un punto importante es qu�e efectos produce la inclusi�on de fermiones en una teor�ia gauge pura. En el caso de QCD, cuando se an~aden quarks en la representacio�n fundamental, la simetr�ia del centro Z(Nc) se rompe expl�icitamente, y el loop de Polyakov no sirve, en principio, como para�metro para caracterizar la transici�on de desconfinamiento. Una de las consecuencias es la modificacio�n de las condiciones en que se produce la transici�on de fase. En concreto, los quarks tienden a suavizar la transici�on, de tal modo que en la teor�ia SU(3) se convierte en una transici�on de fase de segundo orden [22].
+En cuanto a la simetr�ia quiral, �esta se encuentra espont�aneamente rota a baja temperatura, pero por encima de un cierto valor se recupera. El para�metro de orden local en este caso es el condensado de quarks qq , que es diferente de cero a baja temperatura, donde la simetr�ia quiral est�a rota, y cero por encima de la transici�on de fase quiral. Por tanto, desde un punto de vista teo�rico la transici�on de fase de QCD consiste en realidad en dos transiciones de fase distintas, que podemos llamar transici�on de desconfinamiento de color y transici�on de restablecimiento de la simetr�ia quiral. Las simulaciones de QCD en el ret�iculo sugieren que, cuando se consideran fermiones sin masa, las dos transiciones tienen lugar a la misma temperatura, al menos en el caso de potencial qu�imico cero [24]. En este caso la temperatura de restablecimiento de la simetr�ia quiral es Tc  155 -205 MeV, donde el valor preciso depende del nu�mero de sabores. Cuando se consideran masas f�isicas para los quarks la situacio�n no est�a completamente clara. Para valores moderados de la masa, la transici�on quiral no tiene un para�metro de orden bien definido, y no se produce una transici�on de fase pura sino u�nicamente un cambio r�apido (crossover).
+
+1.3 Teor�ias quirales efectivas
+
+17
+
+Obviamente, es de esperar que todos estos feno�menos de QCD a temperatura finita sean consistentes con invariancia gauge. La invariancia Lorentz se rompe expl�icitamente en c�alculos a temperatura y densidad finitas, debido a que existe un sistema de referencia privilegiado, que es el ban~o t�ermico, y que se supone en reposo; no obstante, la invariancia gauge permanece como una simetr�ia exacta. En c�alculos concretos en teor�ia de perturbaciones, la conservaci�on de la invariancia gauge a temperatura cero se consigue con un nu�mero finito de t�erminos, sin embargo a temperatura finita es necesario considerar un nu�mero infinito de t�erminos, lo cual obligar�ia en un principio a hacer un tratamiento no perturbativo.
+
+1.3. Teor�ias quirales efectivas
+Actualmente los grados de libertad hadr�onicos se vienen tratando con teor�ias quirales efectivas en las cuales un ingrediente b�asico son los bosones de Goldstone generados en la rotura espont�anea de la simetr�ia quiral de QCD [25, 26]. La aproximaci�on por excelencia es la Teor�ia Quiral de Perturbaciones (TQP) [25, 27]. Existen otras aproximaciones que se basan en la construccio�n de modelos de quarks quirales como el modelo sigma [28] o el modelo de Nambu�Jona-Lasinio (NJL) [29, 30, 31].
+La TQP se fundamenta en la construccio�n de un lagrangiano efectivo invariante quiral como desarrollo en potencias de los momentos externos de los campos y de la masa de los quarks. Este lagrangiano debe satisfacer ciertos requisitos de simetr�ia como invariancia gauge, invariancia Lorentz (a temperatura cero), paridad y conjugaci�on de carga, y se escribe en t�erminos de constantes de baja energ�ia que se corresponden con funciones de Green de QCD. Los valores de estas constantes no pueden ser determinados a partir de argumentos de simetr�ia exclusivamente.
+Los modelos de quarks quirales aspiran, como TQP, a constituir una aproximaci�on de la din�amica de QCD no perturbativa a baja energ�ia. Estos modelos hacen uso expl�icito de grados de libertad de quarks. El modelo de Nambu�Jona-Lasinio ha sido muy utilizado en el pasado y au�n se sigue utilizando. Las interacciones efectivas de cuatro fermiones del modelo NJL representan cierta aproximaci�on a QCD. Sin embargo, desde un punto de vista teo�rico au�n no est�a claro de qu�e modo estas interacciones de cuatro quarks surgen de QCD. En el caso de dos sabores uno de los mecanismos podr�ia ser las llamadas interacciones de 't Hooft, que consisten en la interaccio�n de quarks a trav�es de los modos cero de instantones [32].
+
+1.4. Heat kernel y accio�n efectiva
+La accio�n efectiva, una extensi�on a teor�ia cua�ntica de campos del potencial termodin�amico de meca�nica estad�istica, juega un papel teo�rico muy importante pues est�a relacionada con cantidades de inter�es f�isico. A un loop tiene la forma c Tr log(K), donde K es un operador diferencial que controla las fluctuaciones cua�nticas cuadr�aticas sobre un fon-
+
+18
+

+
+do cl�asico. Esta magnitud sufre algunas patolog�ias matema�ticas, tales como divergencias
+ultravioletas y multivaluaci�on. Por ello resulta u�til expresar la acci�on efectiva mediante la representacio�n de tiempo propio de Schwinger2

+
+(1.8)
+
+Al contrario que la accio�n efectiva, el heat kernel (o ma�s concretamente su elemento de matriz) x|e-K|x es univaluado y finito en la regio�n ultravioleta para valores positivos del para�metro de tiempo propio  .
+El heat kernel fue introducido por Schwinger [33] en teor�ia cua�ntica de campos como una herramienta para regularizar divergencias ultravioletas de un modo que preserve invariancia gauge. El heat kernel y su desarrollo han sido aplicados tambi�en en el estudio de densidades espectrales e �indices de operadores de Dirac (D) [34, 35] en t�erminos de operadores de KleinGordon (DD), para el c�alculo de la funci�on  [36, 37] y anomal�ias de estos operadores [38], para definir la accio�n efectiva de teor�ias gauge quirales [39], para el efecto Casimir [40], etc. El heat kernel se puede calcular perturbativamente haciendo un desarrollo en potencias del tiempo propio. En la presente memoria va a constituir una herramienta fundamental para el c�alculo de las diferentes teor�ias efectivas que vamos a considerar.
+
+1.5. Estructura de la tesis
+
+Esta tesis est�a estructurada del siguiente modo:
+
+En el cap�itulo 2 se considera el heat kernel a temperatura cero, y se construye su generalizaci�on a temperatura finita, dentro del formalismo de tiempo imaginario. Con objeto de conseguir un desarrollo que preserve la invariancia gauge orden por orden, haremos uso de una generalizacio�n a temperatura finita del m�etodo de los s�imbolos [41], que permite calcular de un modo sencillo el desarrollo de una funci�on en t�erminos de operadores locales y covariantes gauge. Esto va a conducir a la definicio�n del loop de Polyakov (sin traza), que es un objeto covariante gauge, y que aparece de manera natural en el desarrollo. El c�alculo se hace para un gauge general y en presencia de campos escalares que pueden ser no abelianos y no estacionarios.
+En el cap�itulo 3 se considera la teor�ia gauge SU(Nc) de QCD, y se calcula su accio�n efectiva a nivel de un loop en el r�egimen de temperaturas grandes, haciendo uso del resultado del heat kernel del cap�itulo 2. Se calculan por separado el sector gluo�nico y el

+
+sector de quarks, y se hace un estudio de c�omo los quarks rompen expl�icitamente la simetr�ia del centro Z(Nc). Esta rotura se va a manifestar en que algunos de los m�inimos absolutos degenerados que presenta el potencial efectivo de la teor�ia como funci�on del loop de Polyakov van a dejar de serlo, y se van a convertir en puntos estacionarios (m�inimos o ma�ximos locales). A temperaturas suficientemente grandes est�a justificado considerar una teor�ia efectiva dimensionalmente reducida, pues lo modos de Matsubara no est�aticos de los campos gauge se hacen muy pesados y desacoplan de la teor�ia. Dentro del problema de reduccio�n dimensional obtendremos la estructura del lagrangiano dimensionalmente reducido.
+En el cap�itulo 4 se hace un estudio fundamentado de los datos del loop de Polyakov renormalizado en la fase de desconfinamiento de color, obtenidos en el ret�iculo. Se estudian las contribuciones no perturbativas existentes, en el marco de un modelo fenomenolo�gico que las describe como generadas por condensados glu�onicos invariantes BRST.
+En el cap�itulo 5 se aborda la problema�tica que presenta el tratamiento est�andar de los modelos de quarks quirales a temperatura finita. Discutimos el acoplamiento del loop de Polyakov de color con los quarks, y calculamos el lagrangiano quiral efectivo a bajas energ�ias, con una predicci�on para las constantes de baja energ�ia. Se estudian asimismo las implicaciones que tiene este modelo, sobre la transiciones de fase quiral y de desconfinamiento de color.
+El cap�itulo 6 est�a dedicado a estudiar los efectos de curvatura sobre varios modelos de quarks quirales: Quark Constituyente, Georgi-Manohar y Nambu�Jona-Lasinio. En concreto, se estudia el acoplamiento de la gravedad en estos modelos de un modo que evite la introduccio�n de nuevos campos aparte de los del caso plano y la m�etrica. Se estudia el tensor energ�ia-impulso a bajas energ�ias que se obtiene, con valores concretos para las constantes de baja energ�ia est�andar y una predicci�on para las constantes asociadas a t�erminos no m�etricos con contribucio�n de curvatura.
+En el cap�itulo 7 se hace un estudio de la estructura de la accio�n efectiva del modelo quark espectral acoplado con gravedad. Por una parte se considera la contribucio�n an�omala, y por otra la parte no-an�omala, con una predicci�on para las constantes de baja energ�ia. Se estudian los resultados del modelo en el esquema de dominancia vectorial, y se compara con el c�alculo en el l�imite de Nc grande en la aproximaci�on de una u�nica resonancia.
+Por u�ltimo, en el cap�itulo 8 se presentan las conclusiones de la memoria.

+Desarrollo del Heat Kernel
+El desarrollo del heat kernel1 [33, 39] se usa frecuentemente en el contexto de los m�etodos de integrales de caminos para integrar grados de libertad externos de un modo no perturbativo. El resultado es un desarrollo en los campos que corresponden a aquellos grados de libertad que no han sido integrados. Esto quiere decir que el desarrollo del heat kernel proporciona una teor�ia de campos efectiva. Los t�erminos del desarrollo se clasifican de acuerdo con su dimensi�on.
+Nuestro objetivo en este cap�itulo consiste en disen~ar un m�etodo que permita mantener la invariancia gauge a temperatura finita de forma manifiesta orden por orden en el desarrollo dimensional. Para ello aplicaremos una t�ecnica conocida como m�etodo de los s�imbolos, que fue desarrollado a temperatura cero [42] y extendido posteriormente a temperatura finita [41]. Hay que notar que el tratamiento es inevitablemente complejo pero necesario.
+Como motivaci�on, estudiaremos el potencial macrocano�nico de un gas de part�iculas libres relativistas, donde el loop de Polyakov se reduce a la fugacidad e�, con  = 1/T la temperatura inversa y � el potencial qu�imico. La idea consiste en respetar la propiedad de periodicidad de la exponencial bajo cambios peri�odicos del potencial qu�imico �  �+i2T . Aunque este caso es trivial, ayudara� a comprender mejor la idea subyacente del m�etodo de los s�imbolos.

+Como ilustracio�n y motivaci�on del heat kernel, consideraremos el caso de un gas de part�iculas libres relativistas. Por claridad estudiaremos el caso boso�nico. La accio�n eucl�idea
+1Heat kernel puede traducirse como 'Nu�cleo de la ecuacio�n del calor', pues constituye la soluci�on a esta conocida ecuacio�n.

+covariantes:
+
+D0 = 0 - i� , Di = i .
+
+(2.2)
+
+� es un potencial qu�imico, y el loop de Polyakov correspondiente es  = ei�. La funci�on de particio�n de esta teor�ia se calcula f�acilmente
+
+Z = D e-SE[] = (det(-D�2 + m2))-1 .
+
+(2.3)
+
+Usaremos aqu�i el convenio Z = e-, donde  es la accio�n efectiva. El potencial macrocano�nico est�a relacionado con la accio�n efectiva a trav�es de  =  mc. As�i pues, la accio�n efectiva se puede calcular a partir del heat kernel del siguiente modo

+ec. (2.45), con la definicio�n de la funci�on 0 dada en ec. (2.46), sustraemos la parte de temperatura cero (que corresponde a considerar 0  1), y se realizan las integrales, finalmente llegamos al resultado est�andar [6]

+
+2.2. M�etodo de los S�imbolos
+
+Consideremos un operador gen�erico
+
+f = f (M, D�) ,
+
+(2.6)
+
+construido con M y D� en un sentido algebraico, esto es, es una combinaci�on lineal (o serie) de productos de M y D� con coeficientes que son c-nu�meros. D� es la derivada covariante
+
+D� = � + A�(x) ,
+
+(2.7)
+
+2.2 M�etodo de los S�imbolos
+
+23
+
+A�(x) es el campo gauge y M(x) denota una o varias funciones matriciales de x que representan otros campos externos diferentes de los campos gauge. El m�etodo de los s�imbo-
+
+los [41, 42] permite calcular de un modo sistem�atico los elementos diagonales del ope-
+
+rador (2.6).
+
+Consideraremos la siguiente normalizacio�n para los estados con posici�on y momento
+
+bien definidos
+
+x|p = eipx ,
+
+p|p = (2)D(p - p) ,
+
+(2.8)

+

+
+dDp (2)D
+
+|p
+
+p| .
+
+(2.9)
+
+D es la dimensi�on del espacio-tiempo. Denotaremos por |0 el estado de momento cero, el
+
+cual satisface
+
+x|0 = 1 , p�|0 = 0|p� = 0 ,
+
+0|0 = dDx .
+
+(2.10)
+
+En nuestra notaci�on p� es real, dDp indica integracio�n est�andar en RD y (p - p) es la funci�on delta correspondiente. p2 significa p�p�. Si consideramos el elemento diagonal
+x|f (M, D�)|x , se tiene
+
+x|f (M, D�)|x = =
+
+dDp (2)D
+
+x|f (M, D�)|p
+
+p|x
+
+dDp (2)D
+
+p|x
+
+x|eipxe-ipxf (M, D�)eipxe-ipx|p .
+
+(2.11)
+
+En la primera igualdad hemos introducido la relacio�n de completitud (2.9). Teniendo en cuenta que el operador posici�on x es el generador de las traslaciones en momentos, tenemos las siguientes transformaciones de semejanza
+
+e-ipxD� eipx = D� + ip� , e-ipxM (x) eipx = M (x) ,
+
+(2.12)
+
+o en general para f , construida en sentido algebraico con M y D�,
+
+e-ipxf (M, D�) eipx = f (M, D� + ip�) .
+
+(2.13)
+
+Basta considerar x|eipx = eipx x| y e-ipx|p = |0 en (2.11) para obtener la fo�rmula del m�etodo de los s�imbolos
+
+x|f (M, D�)|x =
+
+dDp (2)D
+
+x|f (M, D� + ip�)|0
+
+.
+
+(2.14)
+
+Al elemento x|f (M, D� + ip�)|0 se le denomina s�imbolo de f , y es en realidad una matriz, pues M y D� son operadores en espacio interno (color, sabor, Dirac, etc ). El problema con (2.14) reside en que la covariancia gauge no se manifiesta de manera expl�icita cuando
+se usa una base en momentos. En efecto, |0 (o ma�s generalmente |p ) no es covariante
+
+24
+
+Cap�itulo 2: Desarrollo del Heat Kernel
+
+bajo transformaciones gauge locales. Por otra parte, el miembro derecho de la igualdad en ec. (2.14) es expl�icitamente invariante bajo transformaciones de tipo boost
+
+D�  D� + a� ,
+
+(2.15)
+
+donde a� son c-nu�meros constantes. Esto se debe a que el cambio en a� puede ser compensado mediante un cambio similar en la variable de integracio�n p�. Esta propiedad es la condicio�n necesaria y suficiente para que exista covariancia gauge, pues implica que en un
+desarrollo de f en los operadores, D� debe de aparecer s�olo en el interior de conmutadores.
+
+2.3. Desarrollo del Heat Kernel a temperatura cero
+
+En esta secci�on aplicaremos el m�etodo de los s�imbolos para el c�alculo del heat kernel. Consideramos el operador de Klein-Gordon2
+
+K = M (x) - D�2 .
+
+(2.16)
+
+El heat kernel se define como el operador e-K. Nosotros estamos interesados en el c�alculo del elemento de matriz con puntos coincidentes x|e-K|x . A  se le denomina para�metro de tiempo propio. Este objeto resulta en general dif�icil de calcular, y en la pra�ctica interesa estudiar su comportamiento cuando  es pequen~o. El heat kernel admite un desarrollo (asint�otico) en serie de potencias de  alrededor de  = 0. Usando la notacio�n est�andar
+
+x|e- K|x
+
+=
+
+1 (4 )D/2
+
+
+
+an(x) n ,
+
+n=0
+
+(2.17)
+
+donde los coeficientes an(x) son conocidos como coeficientes de Seeley-DeWitt [45, 46, 47], y son operadores locales construidos con una combinaci�on lineal de productos de M(x) y
+D�. Puesto que el heat kernel es covariante gauge, la expresi�on (2.17) debe ser covariante gauge orden por orden. El heat kernel e-K no tiene dimensiones si asignamos dimensiones
+de masa -2, +1, +2 a  , D� y M, respectivamente. Por tanto, el desarrollo en potencias de  es equivalente a un contaje de las dimensiones de masa de los operadores locales.
+La aplicaci�on de (2.14) conduce a
+
+x|e-(M-D�2 )|x = =

+
+26
+
+Cap�itulo 2: Desarrollo del Heat Kernel
+
+en ec. (2.22) solamente podra�n aparecer t�erminos con derivadas D� dentro de conmutadores. En efecto, el cambio D�  D� + a� no tiene efecto cuando D� est�a dentro de un conmutador, pero da cuenta de las contribucio�n procedente de t�erminos con D� fuera de conmutadores. Esto significa que los u�nicos t�erminos que sobreviven son los multiplicativos en el espacio de posiciones.4 Como ejemplo, se puede comprobar que
+
+{D�2, M } = [D�, [D�, M ]] + 2[D�, M ]D� + 2M D�2 .
+
+(2.24)
+
+Los t�erminos 2[D�, M]D� y 2MD�2 no contribuira�n en el desarrollo. El resultado final que se obtiene hasta O(4) en dimensiones de masa es

+
+El desarrollo del heat kernel se usa frecuentemente para el c�alculo de la accio�n efectiva, y en este caso resulta necesario calcular la traza del heat kernel Tr e-(M-D�2 ). A temperatura
+cero los coeficientes con traza bn(x) se definen simplemente como

+Tr e- (M -D�2 )

+2.4 Desarrollo del Heat Kernel a temperatura finita
+

+
+Una propiedad importante es que el coeficiente an se puede obtener a partir de una variaci�on en primer orden de bn+1. En efecto, por la propia definicio�n del heat kernel se tiene que
+
+x|e-(M-D�2 )|x = - 1  Tr e-(M-D�2 ) .  M(x)

No obstante, es conveniente explotar la propiedad c�iclica de la traza y la integracio�n por partes con el fin de obtener expresiones ma�s compactas.

+2.4. Desarrollo del Heat Kernel a temperatura finita
+
+Es posible extender el m�etodo de los s�imbolos con objeto de realizar c�alculos a temperatura finita [41].
+En el formalismo de tiempo imaginario la coordenada temporal est�a compactificada a un c�irculo, de modo que el espacio-tiempo de D = d + 1 dimensiones tiene topolog�ia Md+1 = S1 � Md. Las funciones de onda para bosones son peri�odicas en la direccio�n temporal con per�iodo , la inversa de la temperatura, y antiperi�odicas para fermiones. Con objeto de que M y D� sean operadores bien definidos en el espacio de Hilbert de las funciones de onda con grados de libertad espacio-temporales e internos, M(x) y A�(x) deben ser funciones peri�odicas en x0.
+En este formalismo usaremos la siguiente normalizacio�n
+
+x|p = eipx , La relacio�n de completitud es

+p|p = p0p0(2)d(p - p ) .

+
+2.4.1. Desarrollo del Heat Kernel: un caso simple
+La aplicaci�on pra�ctica del m�etodo de los s�imbolos a temperatura finita resulta bastante ma�s complicada que a temperatura cero. Con objeto de introducir los conceptos de manera gradual, vamos a considerar el heat kernel, y estudiaremos su desarrollo en un caso simple. Trataremos el caso en el que no exista potencial vector, el potencial escalar sea indenpendiente de x, y el t�ermino de masa sea un c-nu�mero constante:
+
+A(x) = 0 , A0 = A0(x0) , M (x) = m2 , [m2, ] = 0 .
+
+(2.34)
+
+El resultado ser�a el t�ermino de orden cero de un desarrollo en conmutadores [D�, ] y [M, ] del caso general. La aplicaci�on del m�etodo de los s�imbolos (2.33) conduce a

+(� para bosones y fermiones, respectivamente). En este momento estamos en condiciones de hacer uso de la siguiente identidad operatorial [41]
+
+e0 e-D0 = (x) ,
+
+(2.38)
+
+donde (x) es la l�inea de Wilson t�ermica o loop de Polyakov sin traza:
+
+x0+
+
+(x) = T exp -
+
+A0(x0, x) dx0
+
+x0
+
+(2.39)
+
+[T indica ordenacio�n temporal.] Si bien es esta secci�on estamos tratando el caso simple de
+ec. (2.34), la definicio�n (2.39) es va�lida para un potencial escalar general A0(x). El loop de Polyakov surge aqu�i como la diferencia de fase entre traslaciones temporales covariantes
+y no covariantes gauge alrededor del tiempo eucl�ideo compactificado. F�isicamente, el loop
+de Polyakov se puede interpretar como el propagador de part�iculas pesadas en el fondo
+del campo gauge. La identidad (2.38) es trivial si uno elije un gauge en el cual A0 es independiente del tiempo (este gauge siempre existe), pues en este caso los operadores  = e-A0, D0, A0 y 0 conmutan entre s�i. Esta identidad es covariante gauge y es va�lida en cualquier gauge.7
+Un punto importante es que el operador de traslaci�on en tiempo eucl�ideo, e0, no tiene
+otro efecto que producir el cambio x0  x0 +  y esta operacio�n es la identidad en el espacio de funciones peri�odicas en que estamos trabajando
+
+e0 = 1 ,
+
+(2.40)
+
+(incluso en el caso fermi�onico, ya que despu�es de aplicar el m�etodo de los s�imbolos las derivadas actu�an sobre los campos externos y no sobre las funciones de onda de las part�iculas). Llegamos as�i al resultado importante de que en este espacio
+
+e-D0 = (x) ,
+
+(2.41)
+
+esto es, siempre y cuando el operador diferencial D0 aparezca de manera peri�odica (con per�iodo 2i/), puede ser reemplazado por el operador multiplicativo -(1/) log[(x)].
+La multivaluaci�on del logaritmo no es efectiva debido a la dependencia peri�odica. Otro punto importante es que D0 (o cualquier funci�on de D0) actu�a como un operador
+covariante gauge sobre los campos externos F (x0, x), y por tanto transforma de acuerdo al grupo de transformaciones gauge locales en el punto (x0, x). En particular, el loop de Polyakov ec. (2.39), que es tambi�en covariante gauge, comienza en el instante x0 y no en cero. Esta diferencia ser�ia irrelevante para el loop de Polyakov con traza, pero no en el contexto de ahora.

La misma supresio�n exponencial existe para las correcciones de temperatura pequen~a cuando se considera un valor finito de  . Ya sea en el l�imite de temperatura cero o de tiempo propio cero, u�nicamente queda el modo k = 0.
+Como motivaci�on del heat kernel, en la secci�on 2.1 se calcul�o el potencial macrocano�nico de un gas de part�iculas libres relativistas, que constituye una aplicaci�on simple de los resultados obtenidos en esta secci�on. En vista de ecs. (2.2) y (2.5), es importante subrayar la relacio�n entre el potencial qu�imico � y el loop de Polyakov. El potencial qu�imico se
+
+2.4 Desarrollo del Heat Kernel a temperatura finita
+
+31
+
+acopla al potencial escalar A0(x) como una constante aditiva. Puesto que es constante, � no contribuye a los operadores locales, ya que A0(x) s�olo aparece a trav�es de la derivada
+covariante D0. Notar que si el loop de Polyakov no existiera en las fo�rmulas, � no aparecer�ia en la funci�on de particio�n, lo cual obviamente constituye un resultado incorrecto. Asimismo hay que destacar que la dependencia peri�odica del heat kernel en log  conduce al hecho bien conocido de que la funci�on de particio�n es peri�odica en � con per�iodo 2i (condicio�n de consistencia debido a su acoplamiento con el operador de carga cuantizado). El loop de Polyakov aparece pues, como una generalizacio�n del factor e� para campos gauge no abelianos y no constantes.
+
+2.4.2. Coeficientes del desarrollo del Heat Kernel a temperatura finita
+
+En esta secci�on consideraremos el desarrollo del heat kernel a temperatura finita en el caso totalmente general de campos gauge no abelianos A�(x) y t�erminos de masa no triviales M(x).
+En primer lugar es necesario especificar el contaje del desarrollo. Como vimos en sec. 2.3, a temperatura cero el desarrollo se define en potencias de  [despu�es de extraer el factor geom�etrico (4 )(d+1)/2]. Este contaje en  es equivalente a un contaje en las dimensiones de masa de los operadores locales.
+A temperatura finita existe una magnitud dimensional adicional, , de modo que los dos contajes no van a ser equivalentes y es necesario especificar un desarrollo concreto. Como veremos ma�s adelante un desarrollo estricto del heat kernel en potencias de  conducir�ia al mismo desarrollo asint�otico que a temperatura cero. Con objeto de extraer correcciones de temperatura finita no triviales ordenaremos nuestro desarrollo de acuerdo con las dimensiones de masa de los operadores locales. Asignaremos dimensiones de masa 0, +1, +2 a , D� y M, respectivamente. Consideraremos adema�s un desarrollo en el cual el loop de Polyakov (x) aparezca a la izquierda en todos los t�erminos, lo cual es una cuesti�on de eleccio�n (de manera equivalente, se podr�ia definir un desarrollo con (x) a la derecha). Esto es necesario pues el conmutador de  con otros operadores genera conmutadores [D0, ] que tienen dimensi�on 1 en nuestro contaje. Estas especificaciones son suficientes para definir de manera un�ivoca el desarrollo del heat kernel para un grupo gauge gen�erico, de tal modo que la invariancia gauge sea manifiesta orden por orden.
+El desarrollo as�i definido, en el cual cada t�ermino contiene funciones arbitrarias del loop de Polyakov pero s�olo un nu�mero finito de derivadas covariantes (incluyendo derivadas temporales), constituye una extensi�on natural del desarrollo est�andar en derivadas covariantes a temperatura cero. Los t�erminos estara�n ordenados en potencias de  pero con coeficientes que dependen de  /2 y :
+
+x|e- (M-D�2 )|x
+
+=
+
+1 (4 )(d+1)/2
+
+aTn (x) n .
+
+n
+
+(2.49)
+
+De la definicio�n se deduce directamente que para una configuracio�n general el t�ermino de
+
+32
+
+Cap�itulo 2: Desarrollo del Heat Kernel
+
+orden cero es precisamente
+
+aT0 (x) = 0((x);  /2) ,
+
+(2.50)
+
+que fue calculado en la subsecci�on 2.4.1. Esto es debido a que cuando el caso particu-
+
+lar (2.34) es introducido en el desarrollo general, todos los t�erminos de orden mayor, con una o ma�s [D�, ] o m2, se anulan.
+El m�etodo que vamos a proponer para el c�alculo del desarrollo del heat kernel a tem-
+
+peratura finita hace uso de los coeficientes de Seeley-DeWitt a temperatura cero. La idea
+
+consiste en aplicar la f�ormula del m�etodo de los s�imbolos (2.33) en la dimensi�on temporal
+
+u�nicamente, lo cual conduce a
+
+x|e-(M-D�2 )|x = 1 
+
+x0, x|e-(M-Q2-Di2)|0, x ,
+
+p0
+
+Q = ip0 + D0 .
+
+(2.51)
+
+Se puede definir el operador de Klein-Gordon efectivo
+
+K = Y - Di2 , Y = M - Q2 ,
+
+(2.52)
+
+donde Y juega el papel de un t�ermino de masa no abeliano. Podemos hacer uso del desa-
+
+rrollo del heat kernel a temperatura cero en d dimensiones (espaciales) con ese operador
+
+efectivo ya que el t�ermino de masa Y, a pesar de contener derivadas temporales (en Q),
+
+no contiene derivadas espaciales, de manera que actu�a como un operador multiplicativo
+
+en el espacio de Hilbert espacial. La aplicaci�on directa de este argumento dar�ia lugar al
+
+desarrollo
+
+x0, x|e-(Y-Di2)|0, x
+
+=
+
+1 (4 )d/2
+
+
+
+an(Di, Y) n ,
+
+n=0
+
+(2.53)
+
+donde los coeficientes an(Di, Y) son polinomios de dimensi�on 2n construidos a partir de Y
+y Di = [Di, ]. Los �ordenes ma�s bajos corresponden a la ec. (2.26), pero considerando la sustitucio�n del t�ermino de masa M por el nuevo t�ermino de masa efectivo Y, y los �indices
+s�olo corren en la dimensi�on espacial. Notamos que para reproducir el primer orden en ec. (2.49), aT0 (x) = 0((x))  eQ2,
+ser�ia necesario obtener el desarrollo a todos los �ordenes en ec. (2.53), pues eQ2 no es un polinomio en Q. E�sta es la raz�on por la cual ec. (2.53) introducida en ec. (2.51) no resulta u�til. La manera correcta de proceder ser�a extraer desde el principio la contribucio�n eQ2,
+lo cual nos llevara� a definir un nuevo conjunto de coeficientes polin�omicos a~n
+
+x0, x|e-(M-Q2-Di2)|0, x

+=
+
+1 (4 )d/2
+
+
+

+
+n=0
+
+(2.54)
+
+Consideremos la sustitucio�n de Q2 por Q2 +  donde  un c-nu�mero constante. Es claro que los coeficientes a~n no deben cambiar, y por tanto en a~n el operador Q2 debe aparecer s�olo dentro de conmutadores de la forma [Q2, ]. Para calcular los coeficientes a~n debemos
+tener en cuenta la relacio�n
+
+
+
+
+
+an(Di, Y) n = eQ2 a~n(Q2, M, Di) n .
+
+n=0
+

+
+(2.55)
+
+2.4 Desarrollo del Heat Kernel a temperatura finita

+
+El m�etodo consiste en partir del desarrollo de la izquierda de la ecuaci�on (2.55) e ir movien-
+
+do los operadores Q2 hacia la izquierda haciendo uso de conmutadores [Q2, ] (por ejemplo
+
+MQ2 = Q2M - [Q2, M]). Al final se llega a una situacio�n en la que existen dos clases de
+
+t�erminos: (i) t�erminos en que todos los operadores Q2 est�an dentro de conmutadores y (ii)
+
+t�erminos con factores Q2 no saturados a la izquierda (esto es, con Q2 fuera de conmutado-
+
+res). Los t�erminos del tipo (i) se corresponden con el desarrollo
+
+ n=0
+
+a~n n.
+
+Los
+
+del
+
+tipo
+
+(ii)
+
+se pueden identificar con el miembro derecho de la ecuaci�on cuando se realiza un desarrollo
+
+de la exponencial eQ2 y se consideran �ordenes mayores que el primero. Siguiendo esta
+
+t�ecnica, hasta a~2 se tiene
+
+a~0 = 1 ,
+
+a~1 = -M ,

+.
+
+(2.56)
+
+Una vez que hemos construido por este procedimiento los coeficientes a~n, el siguiente paso consiste en redefinir ec. (2.54) como un desarrollo en potencias de M, Di y D0. Para ello debemos expresar [Q2, ] que aparece en el desarrollo, en t�erminos de [Q, ] = [D0, ] = D0. Se usa la siguiente propiedad:
+
+[Q2, X] = Q[Q, X] + [Q, X]Q = 2Q[Q, X] - [Q, [Q, X]] = 2QX0 - X00 .
+
+(2.57)
+
+Se trata de mover todos los Q's hacia la izquierda, de modo que aparecera�n operadores D0. Al final los operadores Q fuera de conmutadores quedar�an todos a la izquierda. Para a~2 se tiene:

+
+Notar que en a~2 existen dos tipos de contribuciones: aquellos t�erminos con una Q a la izquierda, y aquellos que no la tienen. En nuestro contaje, estos dos tipos pertenecen a �ordenes diferentes: dimensi�on de masa tres y cuatro, respectivamente. Cuando a~2 es introducido en ec. (2.54) (queda multiplicado por el factor eQ2) y despu�es en ec. (2.51) (suma sobre frecuencias de Matsubara), se obtienen las siguientes contribuciones

+Como vemos cada coeficiente de heat kernel a temperatura cero ak en ec. (2.53) con
+dimensi�on de masa 2k permite obtener un coeficiente correspondiente a~k. Este coeficiente va a dar contribucio�n, en general, a varios coeficientes de heat kernel aTn (con dimensi�on de masa 2n). Las diferentes contribuciones se deben a que pueden existir ciertos factores de Q
+
+a la izquierda de cada t�ermino que no actu�an como D0, de modo que son adimensionales. Por tanto para un valor de k dado, los valores de n permitidos deben satisfacer n  k, y la
+
+34
+
+Cap�itulo 2: Desarrollo del Heat Kernel
+
+igualdad corresponde a t�erminos que tienen todos los Q's dentro de conmutadores. Podemos encontrar una cota inferior para n si vemos que el nu�mero ma�ximo de [Q2, ]'s en a~k(k  0)
+es k - 1, y por tanto �este va a ser el nu�mero ma�ximo de Q's fuera de conmutadores que
+queden a la izquierda. Esto conduce a la condicio�n k  2n - 1. Adema�s notemos que un factor Q va a dar lugar a un coeficiente () en aTn . En suma, para el c�alculo de los coeficientes de heat kernel t�ermicos vamos a tener el siguiente esquema
+
+a0  a~0  0aT0 a1  a~1  0aT1 a2  a~2  0aT2 + 1aT3/2 a3  a~3  0aT3 + 1aT5/2 + 2aT2 a4  a~4  0aT4 + 1aT7/2 + 2aT3 + 3aT5/2 a5  a~5  0aT5 + 1aT9/2 + 2aT4 + 3aT7/2 + 4aT3
+��� ��� ��� ��� ��� ��� ��� ��� ��� ak  a~k  0aTk + 1aT(2k-1)/2 + � � � + k-1aT(k+1)/2
+
+(2.60)
+
+Esta mezcla de t�erminos no ocurre a temperatura cero, no obstante no puede ser evitada
+a temperatura finita. Vemos que a Q no se le podr�ia asignar dimensi�on de masa 1 ya que
+la suma sobre las frecuencias de Matsubara p0 no converge para un polinomio en Q. Si p0 se cuenta con dimensi�on cero pero D0 siempre con dimensi�on 1 la invariancia gauge se perder�ia. En suma, el hecho de considerar  adimensional y D0 con dimensi�on 1 es un pequen~o precio que hay que pagar para tener un desarrollo covariante gauge orden por
+orden.
+Del esquema anterior se deduce que para calcular los coeficientes de heat kernel t�ermicos completos hasta aT3 debemos buscar contribuciones hasta a5. Como regla general, para aTn van a existir contribuciones de ak, n  k  2n - 1, excepto para aT0 el cual s�olo recibe la contribucio�n trivial de a0. En particular aT3 , aparte de la contribucio�n que reciba de a3, s�olo requiere t�erminos Yn, con n = 2, 3, 4 en a4(Di, Y) y n = 4, 5 en a5(Di, Y).
+Haciendo uso de este m�etodo se han calculado los coeficientes de heat kernel t�ermicos

+La propiedad (2.67) se podr�ia deducir directamente de D0 = [D0, ] = 0. Estas fo�rmulas implican que a temperatura finita, al contrario que a temperatura cero, la propiedad c�iclica
+de la traza mezcla t�erminos de �ordenes diferentes. Esto es debido a que D0 tiene dimensiones de masa, mientras que  es adimensional. As�i, por ejemplo 0() es de dimensi�on cero
+y Di es de dimensi�on uno, mientras que Di0() contiene t�erminos de todos los o�rdenes, comenzando con dimensi�on 2. Para aplicar estas reglas de conmutacio�n a aTn vamos a necesitar adema�s la relacio�n

+(2.70)
+
+Escritos de esta forma, se ve expl�icitamente que en el l�imite de temperatura cero se recupera la simetr�ia Lorentz. En estas f�ormulas bTn=0 indican los coeficientes a temperatura cero que aparecen en ec. (2.30). El heat kernel es sim�etrico frente a la transposici�on de operadores ABC � � �  � � � CBA, y los bTn han sido elegidos de manera que esta simetr�ia se manifieste en cada orden.
+Como hemos dicho, la integracio�n por partes y la propiedad c�iclica de la traza hace que
+exista cierta ambigu�edad en la expresi�on de los coeficientes bn tanto a temperatura cero como a temperatura finita. No obstante a temperatura finita la ambigu�edad es mayor ya
+que estas dos propiedades mezclan o�rdenes diferentes. El desarrollo a temperatura finita lo
+podemos expresar en la forma
+
+Tr
+
+e- (M -D�2 )
+
+=
+
+1 (4 )(d+1)/2
+
+
+BnT  n ,
+
+n=0
+
+BnT = Tr bTn (x) .
+
+(2.71)
+
+A temperatura cero el desarrollo se define como un desarrollo en potencias del para�metro  , de modo que BnT =0 no es ambiguo, la ambigu�edad s�olo existe en bTn=0(x). Sin embargo a temperatura finita el desarrollo no est�a sujeto a un para�metro, sino que lo hemos definido como un desarrollo en conmutadores, de modo que existe ambigu�edad no s�olo en bTn (x) sino tambi�en en BnT . En general la eleccio�n concreta de bTn va a afectar la forma de los �ordenes superiores bTn+1/2, bTn+1, . . . . Por supuesto, la ambigu�edad en BnT no afecta la suma de la serie, sino que u�nicamente se trata de una reorganizaci�on de �esta. Como ejemplo, consideremos que en bT2 =0 an~adimos el t�ermino M��. Nada cambia a temperatura cero, pues ese t�ermino es un conmutador puro. No obstante, a temperatura finita ese t�ermino
+conducir�ia a la contribucio�n 0M�� que no es un conmutador puro, y por tanto va a modificar el funcional B2T . De hecho 0M��, que es formalmente de dimensi�on 4, se puede
+
+38
+
+Cap�itulo 2: Desarrollo del Heat Kernel
+
+expresar como una suma de t�erminos de dimensi�on 5 y mayores, si hacemos uso de la
+integracio�n por partes y de las reglas de conmutacio�n (2.66)-(2.68).
+El criterio b�asico que hemos seguido para elegir los coeficientes bTn ha consistido en llevarlos de manera recursiva a una forma compacta, comenzando por los de orden inferior. Por ejemplo, bajo traza aT3/2 se puede llevar a una suma de t�erminos de dimensi�on 4 o mayor, despu�es de integrar por partes y aplicar las reglas de conmutacio�n. Haciendo esto conseguimos bT3/2 = 0. El siguiente paso consistira� en llevar aT2 (modificado con la contribucio�n que recibe de Tr aT3/2) a la forma ma�s compacta posible, lo cual en principio producir�ia contribuciones a aT5/2, y as�i sucesivamente. Por supuesto, �esta no es la u�nica posibilidad ya que llevar bTn a la forma ma�s simple posible va a implicar en general una mayor complicaci�on en los �ordenes superiores. Por ejemplo, se puede ver que es posible ordenar el desarrollo de modo que todos los coeficientes bTn de orden semi-impar se anulen. As�i, podr�iamos eliminar bT5/2 con el coste de complicar bT2 .
+El an�alogo de ec. (2.29) a temperatura finita va a verse modificado por el hecho de que la variaci�on de bTk contribuye no s�olo a aTk-1, sino en general a todos los o�rdenes superiores, debido a la propiedad de conmutacio�n (2.66). Por tanto podemos escribir
+
+aTn

+
+
+
+-
+

+
+BkT  k-n-1 ,
+
+1kn+1

+
+donde el s�imbolo  indica que u�nicamente debemos considerar los t�erminos de dimensi�on 2n en el miembro derecho de la ecuaci�on. Notar que k puede tomar valores tanto enteros como semi-impares. Hemos comprobado nuestros resultados verificando que esta relacio�n se cumple para todos los coeficientes.
+
+2.5. Conclusiones
+En este cap�itulo hemos construido el desarrollo del heat kernel en el contexto de teor�ia cua�ntica de campos a temperatura finita para espacio-tiempo plano. El desarrollo se ha hecho para un gauge general y en presencia de campos escalares que pueden ser no abelianos y no estacionarios. Se ha puesto un �enfasis especial en el papel que juega el loop de Polyakov sin traza (o linea de Wilson t�ermica) para mantener la invariancia gauge expl�icita. Esto constituye un problema altamente no trivial, ya que para preservar la invariancia gauge a temperatura finita orden por orden se necesitan infinitos o�rdenes en teor�ia de perturbaciones.
+Cuando se elige que el ban~o t�ermico est�e en reposo, el loop de Polyakov es generado por la componente temporal del campo gauge, y �este se puede considerar como una generalizacio�n del potencial qu�imico para campos gauge no constantes y no abelianos, mediante el factor e�. De hecho, hemos aportado argumentos que apoyan esta interpretacio�n: si el loop de Polyakov no fuera tenido en cuenta, el nu�mero de part�iculas no podr�ia ser fijado, lo cual est�a en contradicci�on con lo que se espera de los requisitos de la termodina�mica.
+
+2.5 Conclusiones
+
+39
+
+En espacios tiempos curvos, adema�s del loop de Polyakov de la conexio�n gauge A�, existe un loop de Polyakov asociado con la conexio�n de transporte paralelo �, con importantes repercusiones en teor�ia de campos en presencia de campos gravitatorios.
+Un ingrediente importante de nuestra t�ecnica de c�alculo es que, con objeto de garantizar la invariancia gauge expl�icita, una cierta combinaci�on del loop de Polyakov y la temperatura debe tratarse como variable independiente, - log()/. Esto puede hacerse sin necesidad de fijar el gauge.

+Accio�n efectiva de QCD a temperatura alta
+
+En este cap�itulo nos proponemos encontrar un lagrangiano efectivo de QCD a un loop, incluyendo fermiones sin masa, en la regio�n de altas temperaturas. En el c�alculo de los determinantes funcionales haremos uso del desarrollo del heat kernel a temperatura finita que hemos obtenido en el cap�itulo 2. Esto nos permitira� calcular el lagrangiano efectivo como un desarrollo en operadores, y aqu�i obtendremos los �ordenes ma�s bajos en este desarrollo.
+Existen en la literatura otros m�etodos equivalentes como el c�alculo de diagramas de Feynman a un loop con un nu�mero arbitrario de patas externas [49]. No obstante suelen ser t�ecnicamente ma�s complicados y no dan cuenta automa�ticamente de invariancia gauge con respecto al campo externo.
+Comenzaremos este cap�itulo repasando algunos elementos b�asicos de la teor�ia de YangMills a temperatura finita, para posteriormente entrar de lleno en el c�alculo detallado de la accio�n de QCD a temperatura alta manteniendo la invariancia gauge de manera expl�icita.

+En el tratamiento que haremos para calcular la accio�n efectiva a un loop, las fluctuaciones cua�nticas de los campos gauge no van a modificar el sector de los quarks. La contribucio�n de este sector constituira� una correcci�on a la funci�on de particio�n de YangMills, de modo que podremos hacer uso de la siguiente factorizacio�n

+
+Esta expresi�on es formal debido a la presencia de divergencias ultravioletas. U� nicamente despu�es de regularizar y renormalizar estas divergencias se obtiene una accio�n efectiva finita y bien definida. Existe un gran nu�mero de m�etodos diferentes para obtener una versio�n renormalizada, pero un resultado est�andar de teor�ia cua�ntica de campos perturbativa es que diferentes definiciones de  pueden diferir a lo sumo en t�erminos que son polinomios locales de dimensi�on cano�nica d + 1 (donde d + 1 es la dimensi�on del espacio-tiempo), construidos con los campos externos y sus derivadas [18, 50]. Esto es debido a que todos los diagramas de Feynman son convergentes ma�s all�a de d + 1 derivadas en los campos o en los momentos externos [51]. En la pra�ctica vamos a tener que cualquier m�etodo consistente con la expresi�on formal de la accio�n efectiva puede ser usado, puesto que todos ellos van a dar la misma contribucio�n finita ultravioleta.

+
+De acuerdo con el tratamiento usual, elevaremos al cuadrado el operador de Dirac con objeto de obtener un operador de Klein-Gordon. Haciendo uso de la representacio�n de Schwinger de tiempo propio podemos escribir la contribucio�n del sector fermi�onico a la accio�n efectiva de QCD a un loop como

+
+Recientemente ha aparecido en la literatura un m�etodo alternativo para renormalizar

+aislados en gluodin�amica pura, y hacen una renormalizaci�on multiplicativa mediante la
+extraccio�n de la autoenerg�ia del quark. Si PR(x) denota el loop de Polyakov renormalizado en una representacio�n irreducible arbitraria R en el punto x, se tiene3

+si bien aqu�i se debe tener en cuenta que, puesto que la l�inea de Wilson es un operador
+
+no local, la constante de renormalizaci�on dependera� de la longitud del camino: en general,
+
+para un camino de longitud  se tiene ZR = exp(-mdRiv). El problema principal reside en c�omo determinar las masas divergentes de un modo
+
+no perturbativo. En un espacio-tiempo de cuatro dimensiones la masa divergente para un
+
+quark test mdRiv es lineal con el cutoff ultravioleta, el cual es proporcional al inverso del

Los datos del ret�iculo son de refs. [21] y [94]. Los ajustes usan ec. (4.27) con a y b como para�metros libres para [21], y ec. (4.39) con a como para�metro libre para [94].
+
+Los autores consideran diferentes ret�iculos, todos a la misma temperatura f�isica T , pero con diferentes valores del espaciado a. Puesto que el nu�mero de puntos en la direccio�n temporal N = 1/(aT ) es diferente en estos ret�iculos, obtienen la masa divergente amdRiv mediante comparaci�on de los valores del loop de Polyakov desnudo en los diversos ret�iculos.
+Siguiendo este m�etodo, los autores de [94] calculan el loop de Polyakov renormalizado en varias representaciones de SU(3). Nuestro inter�es se centra en la representacio�n fundamental, y cuando comparamos con los datos de [21] encontramos que ambos resultados difieren cualitativamente, principalmente para temperaturas por encima de 1,3 Tc. En la figura 4.4 se muestran los dos conjuntos de datos.
+El origen de la discrepancia entre ambos resultados no est�a del todo claro, aunque los autores de [94] no excluyen la posibilidad de que se deba a efectos del espaciado finito del ret�iculo, que no hayan sido tenidos en cuenta de manera conveniente.
+Existen varias razones para pensar que los resultados de [21] son ma�s fiables. Por una parte este m�etodo resulta t�ecnicamente ma�s simple y susceptible de ser comprobado. Los autores pueden comprobar que a cortas distancias los dos loops de Polyakov reproducen de una manera muy precisa el potencial quark-antiquark a temperatura cero como funci�on de r para todas las temperaturas. El contacto entre el potencial a temperatura cero y el correspondiente a temperatura finita es casi total hasta una separacio�n r(T ), relacionada con la masa de Debye, lo cual permite una determinacio�n muy precisa del contrat�ermino C(T ) de ec. (4.29). Adema�s, el c�alculo est�a hecho para dos taman~os diferentes del ret�iculo, N = 4 y N = 8 (tambi�en N = 16 en [95]), y los resultados muestran una dependencia muy pequen~a en el cutoff, lo cual significa que el l�imite del continuo ha sido alcanzado.
+El m�etodo de ref. [94] es t�ecnicamente ma�s complicado, pues necesita comparar taman~os
+
+4.4 Comparaci�on con datos del ret�iculo
+
+87
+
+diferentes del ret�iculo a la misma temperatura f�isica T . La extraccio�n del contrat�ermino es asimismo ma�s compleja, pues el an�alogo de C(T ) en ec. (4.29) se escribe como una serie en potencias de T con coeficientes que deben de ser ajustados con los datos del loop de Polyakov desnudo. Por otra parte, desde el punto de vista del modelo que proponemos en nuestro trabajo, esperamos que las correcciones no perturbativas sean despreciables a las temperaturas ma�s altas de los dos datos del ret�iculo, pero u�nicamente [21] parece ser consistente con teor�ia de perturbaciones [23] a esas temperaturas.
+El m�etodo de [94] renormaliza el logaritmo del loop de Polyakov siguiendo este esquema4

+Podemos especular con esta f�ormula suponiendo que los t�erminos que dependen del cutoff no han sido extra�idos completamente en los datos, o bien que despu�es de haber sido extra�idos permanezcan t�erminos del mismo tipo a los extra�idos. En concreto, consideraremos el siguiente patr�on de ajuste

+Un hecho alentador es que el valor del condensado parece ser compatible con el obtenido en la secci�on 4.4.1 a partir de los datos de ref. [21]. No obstante, esta especulacio�n no es totalmente concluyente y ser�ia deseable un acuerdo entre los resultados de ambos grupos antes de sacar nuevas consecuencias.

+Si bien nuestra determinacio�n del condensado se ha hecho en el gauge est�atico y a temperatura finita, resulta tentador comparar con condensados a temperatura cero g2 A2�,a , calculados en la literatura en quenched QCD y en el gauge de Landau. En la tabla 4.7 se muestran algunos valores de este condensado obtenidos recientemente por diferentes procedimientos. El acuerdo entre ellos es aceptable.

+
+Cuadro 4.7: Valores del condensado g2 A2�,a a temperatura cero, en el gauge de Landau en quenched QCD.
+
+A temperatura cero todas las componentes de Lorentz contribuyen de igual forma, lo cual sugiere un factor de conversio�n 4 al pasar de g2 A2�,a a g2 A20,a . Sin embargo, de acuerdo con ref. [74], en el gauge de Landau el condensado total escala como D-1, donde D es la dimensi�on del espacio eucl�ideo, lo cual sugiere un factor de conversio�n 3. En cualquier caso, si tenemos en cuenta tanto las incertidumbres de los datos del ret�iculo como las teo�ricas, el acuerdo es significativo, pues estamos comparando resultados a temperaturas y gauges diferentes.
+Podemos comparar asimismo nuestro resultado para el condensado gluo�nico con c�alculos realizados a temperatura finita basados en el estudio de contribuciones no perturbativas de la presi�on en gluodin�amica pura [80, 96]. Estos resultados conducen a
+
+g2 A20,a No Pert = (0,93(7) GeV)2 ,
+
+(4.40)
+
+en el gauge de Landau.5 Todos estos an�alisis muestran un esquema coherente en su conjunto.
+
+4.5. Energ�ia libre de un quark pesado
+El potencial quark-antiquark a temperatura finita se puede obtener a partir de la funci�on de correlacio�n de dos loops de Polyakov separados. Como sabemos, si se toma el l�imite de separacio�n grande se obtiene el valor esperado del loop de Polyakov, ec. (4.29). En el l�imite de separacio�n pequen~a los efectos t�ermicos son despreciables, y este potencial coincide con el potencial quark-antiquark a temperatura cero.
+5Este valor ha sido obtenido a partir de los datos del ret�iculo de la figura 2 de ref. [80], y tambi�en de la figura 1 de ref. [96], en la regi�on de temperaturas usada en nuestros ajustes de la seccio�n 4.4.1.

+
+4.5.1. Contribuciones no perturbativas en la energ�ia libre

+con g = /2 corresponde al modelo de cuerda boso�nica, y reproduce los datos del ret�iculo para Vq�q(r) en el rango 0,75 GeV-1  r  4 GeV-1 con un error del 1 % [97]. Nuestro modelo predice un valor concreto para la tensi�on de la cuerda .
+Como vemos, el modelo predice para la energ�ia libre unos comportamientos asint�oticos
+totalmente coherentes con la fenomenolog�ia conocida. Esto refuerza nuestra suposici�on de
+existencia de contribuciones no perturbativas dadas por condensados gluo�nicos.
+
+4.5.2. Comparaci�on con datos del ret�iculo
+
+Podemos comparar nuestro resultado, ec. (4.42), con datos del ret�iculo existentes para la energ�ia libre. Puesto que conocemos el valor del condensado g2 A20,a No Pert, esto nos va a permitir obtener la dependencia en r y T de la constante de acoplamiento s  g2/4. En la figura 4.5 se muestra el valor de s frente a rT para diferentes valores de la temperatura. Las curvas se han obtenido tras ajustar ec. (4.42) con los datos de ref. [98] (figura 5) para gluodin�amica (Nc = 3). Como valor de g2 A20,a No Pert consideramos el de la tabla 4.2 con N = 8.
+Se observa un comportamiento suave para s y los valores son relativamente pequen~os, lo cual contrasta con an�alisis recientes en el ret�iculo a temperatura finita [22, 98]. Estos
+autores tienen en cuenta los efectos no perturbativos que observan en los datos del ret�iculo
+de la energ�ia libre mediante el uso de dos constantes: s y s; y esta u�ltima se diferencia del valor perturbativo por un factor multiplicativo:
+
+s(r, T ) =  sPert(r, T ) ,  > 1 .
+
+(4.46)
+
+Esto no tiene justificaci�on teo�rica, y se trata en realidad de un esquema de an�alisis dema-
+
+4.5 Energ�ia libre de un quark pesado

+
+siado forzado, pues la constante  no es tal, sino que tiene una dependencia en temperatura, de tal modo que vale 1 en el l�imite T  .7 Los valores que obtienen para las s's son excesivamente grandes. Por el contrario, al considerar nuestro modelo, el ajuste de los datos
+del ret�iculo de la energ�ia libre resulta ma�s natural. Notar que el comportamiento r   de
+s(r, T ) que se observa en fig. 4.5 es consistente con el hecho de que nuestro mejor ajuste de los datos del loop de Polyakov renormalizado sea con a = constante.
+
+4.5.3. Analog�ia entre el loop de Polyakov y el potencial quarkantiquark a temperatura cero
+Al comparar (4.43) con (4.44) se observa que las expresiones son similares desde un punto de vista formal, con la identificacio�n r  1/mD. Si consideramos que no existe dependencia en r y T para la constante de acoplamiento g y el condensado A20,a , de ec. (4.43) a LO y de ec. (4.44) se deduce la siguiente propiedad
+
+F(T ) = Vq�q(r)
+
+.
+
+r=1/mD
+
+(4.48)
+
+Notar que (4.48) es va�lida s�olo a LO en teor�ia de perturbaciones. Con objeto de comprobar num�ericamente esta propiedad debemos tener en cuenta los diferentes comportamientos asint�oticos de s. Usaremos la siguiente notaci�on:

+la transici�on de fase y permiten describir los datos de [21] en la fase de desconfinamiento
+hasta 1,03 Tc para gluodin�amica y de [22] hasta 1,15 Tc para dos sabores. En segundo lugar, hemos sugerido identificar este condensado con el condensado gluo�ni-
+co de dimensi�on 2 invariante BRST. El valor num�erico de g2 A20,a No Pert que obtenemos a partir del loop de Polyakov es totalmente consistente con el valor que se deduce de la
+presi�on en gluodin�amica [80, 96]. Adema�s, aun habiendo definido el condensado en un gauge est�atico, su valor es significativamente pro�ximo al valor de g2 A2�,a /4, obtenido a temperatura cero y en el gauge de Landau.
+En tercer lugar, a la luz de estos resultados hemos encontrado una analog�ia entre el
+potencial quark-antiquark a temperatura cero y el loop de Polyakov, la cual se manifiesta
+en la relacio�n que predice nuestro modelo entre la tensi�on de la cuerda y la pendiente del
+loop de Polyakov.

+Modelos de Quarks Quirales a Temperatura Finita
+En este cap�itulo estudiaremos algunos modelos de quarks quirales en el contexto de temperatura finita. Haciendo uso de nuestra t�ecnica del heat kernel del cap�itulo 2, obtendremos el acoplamiento m�inimo entre el loop de Polyakov glu�onico y los quarks, lo cual solucionar�a algunas inconsistencias presentes en el tratamiento est�andar de estos modelos a temperatura finita a nivel de un loop de quarks.
+En primer lugar se estudiara�n algunas propiedades de las transformaciones gauge a temperatura finita, lo cual nos llevara� a considerar la simetr�ia del centro como aquella que es generada por la accio�n de transformaciones gauge locales que son peri�odicas en la variable temporal salvo un elementro arbitrario del centro del grupo gauge. Para ma�s detalles sobre este punto, ver ap�endice A.
+Posteriormente introduciremos dos modelos: modelo de Nambu�Jona-Lasinio y modelo quark espectral. Con ellos ilustraremos la problema�tica del tratamiento est�andar a temperatura finita que se viene haciendo en los modelos de quarks quirales, y definiremos un modelo quark quiral con acoplamiento del loop de Polyakov que permitira� compatibilizar los resultados con los conocidos de Teor�ia Quiral de Perturbaciones. Calcularemos el lagrangiano quiral efectivo en estos modelos hasta O(p4) en un desarrollo en momentos externos, y se estudiara� la estructura que presenta este lagrangiano a temperatura finita.
+Se hara� un estudio de algunas correcciones de orden mayor, tales como correcciones ma�s all�a de un loop de quarks, correcciones glu�onicas y correcciones locales en el loop de Polyakov. Finalmente se calcular�an dos observables de inter�es: condensado quiral y valor esperado del loop de Polyakov; para lo cual se hara� un tratamiento unquenched, y se estudiara� el mecanismo de rotura de la simetr�ia del centro que conduce a la transici�on de fase de QCD.

+
+5.1. Transformaciones gauge grandes
+En el ap�endice A discutimos las transformaciones gauge en el contexto de la Teor�ia Cu�antica de Campos a temperatura finita. Al comienzo de este cap�itulo vamos a hacer un repaso de las principales propiedades de estas transformaciones, y la importancia que tienen para el estudio de los procesos de desconfinamiento de color en QCD. Esta secci�on podr�ia haberse incluido igualmente en el cap�itulo 3, pero hemos preferido ponerla aqu�i para que el cap�itulo quede autoconsistente, pues como veremos los modelos de quarks quirales nos van a permitir una descripci�on de la transici�on de fase de QCD.
+
+5.1.1. Transformaciones gauge a temperatura finita
+En el formalismo de Tiempo Imaginario el espacio-tiempo es un cilindro topolo�gico, de tal modo que el tiempo imaginario eucl�ideo est�a compactificado y las integrales funcionales se evalu�an bajo la condicio�n de que los campos sean peri�odicos para bosones y antiperi�odicos para fermiones en el intervalo temporal [0, ], donde  = 1/T . En un principio, s�olo estar�ian permitidas las transformaciones gauge peri�odicas
+
+g(x0, x) = g(x0 + , x) ,
+
+(5.1)
+
+pues los campos de los quarks y los bosones son estables frente a este tipo de transformaciones. Un ejemplo de tal transformaci�on para el grupo gauge SU(Nc), en el gauge de Polyakov, 0A0 = 0, con A0 una matriz diagonal Nc � Nc de traza cero, es
+
+g(x0) = ei2x0/ ,
+
+(5.2)
+
+donde  es una matriz diagonal de enteros, de traza cero, en el espacio de color, esto
+
+es ij = niij , ni  Z ,
+
+Nc j=1
+
+nj
+
+=
+
+0.
+
+Esta
+
+transformaci�on
+
+no
+
+puede
+
+estar
+
+pro�xima
+
+a
+
+la
+
+identidad, y en este sentido se considera una transformaci�on gauge grande. Bajo ella, el
+
+campo A0 transforma
+
+A0
+
+
+
+A0
+
++
+
+2 
+
+
+
+,
+
+(5.3)
+
+de modo que en este gauge, la invariancia gauge se manifiesta en la periodicidad del campo glu�onico A0. El problema de teor�ia de perturbaciones radica en que esta invariancia a temperatura finita se rompe expl�icitamente si se hace un desarrollo perturbativo de A0, ya que el desarrollo de una funci�on peri�odica da lugar a un polinomio, que no es peri�odico.
+Esta problema�tica de la invariancia gauge a temperatura finita conduce a la necesidad de tratar el campo A0 de una manera no perturbativa, y a tales efectos se considera el loop de Polyakov (o l�inea de Wilson sin traza) como grado de libertad independiente (x). Transforma de manera covariante en x bajo una transformaci�on gauge peri�odica
+
+(x)  g-1(x)(x)g(x) ,
+
+(5.4)
+
+y en el gauge de Polyakov, (x) = eiA0(x), es invariante gauge.
+
+5.1 Transformaciones gauge grandes
+
+97
+
+5.1.2. Simetr�ia del centro
+En gluodin�amica pura a temperatura finita la condicio�n (5.1) resulta en realidad demasiado restrictiva, y es posible considerar transformaciones gauge aperi�odicas
+
+g(x0 + , x) = z g(x0, x) , zNc = 1 .
+
+(5.5)
+
+z es un elemento de Z(Nc), que es el centro del grupo gauge SU(Nc), esto es z = ei2n/Nc , n  Z(Nc). Un ejemplo de esa transformaci�on, en el gauge de Polyakov, es
+
+g(x0) = ei2x0/Nc ,
+
+(5.6)
+
+donde z = ei2/Nc. El campo A0 y el loop de Polyakov transforman bajo (5.6) como
+
+A0
+
+
+
+A0
+
++
+
+2 Nc
+
+
+
+,
+
+  z .
+
+(5.7)
+
+ transforma como la representacio�n fundamental del grupo Z(Nc). F�isicamente el promedio t�ermico del loop de Polyakov (con traza) en la representacio�n fundamental determina la energ�ia libre relativa al vac�io de un u�nico quark,
+
+e-Fq(x) = 1 Nc
+
+trc (x)
+
+.
+
+(5.8)
+
+De ec. (5.7) se deduce (por invariancia gauge) que
+
+trc (x) = z trc (x) ,
+
+(5.9)
+
+y por tanto trc (x) = 0 en la fase en que la simetr�ia del centro se preserva (fase de confinamiento). De manera ma�s general, se obtiene
+
+trc n(x) = 0 para n = mNc , m  Z .
+
+(5.10)
+
+La simetr�ia del centro est�a espont�aneamente rota por encima de una cierta temperatura (TD  270 MeV para Nc = 3), lo cual indica una fase de desconfinamiento. En esta fase trc (x) puede tomar valores diferentes de cero.
+
+5.1.3. Rotura de la simetr�ia del centro por fermiones
+
+Las funciones de onda de los fermiones deben satisfacer condiciones antiperi�odicas en
+
+la direcci�on temporal, esto es q(, x) = -q(0, x), de modo que bajo una transformaci�on del
+
+tipo (5.5)
+
+q(, x)  g(, x)q(, x) = -zg(0, x)q(0, x) ,
+
+(5.11)
+
+en lugar de -g(0, x)q(0, x). Notar que q(n)q(0)  z-nq(n)q(0), lo cual implica que en la fase confinante (con simetr�ia del centro)
+
+q(n)q(0) = 0 para n = mNc , m  Z .
+
+(5.12)
+
+98
+
+Cap�itulo 5: Modelos de Quarks Quirales a Temperatura Finita
+
+Esto genera una regla de selecci�on en gluodin�amica pura.
+Los fermiones no son estables bajo las transformaciones del tipo (5.5) (u�nicamente lo son bajo transformaciones peri�odicas), de modo que rompen expl�icitamente la simetr�ia del centro. Esto significa que la regla de selecci�on (5.12) no se realiza en la pra�ctica. No obstante, esta regla ser�a importante en el contexto de modelos de quarks quirales en el l�imite de Nc grande, tal y como veremos ma�s adelante.
+
+5.2. Modelos de Quarks Quirales
+En esta secci�on explicaremos dos modelos de quarks quirales de especial relevancia: el modelo de Nambu�Jona-Lasinio [29] y el modelo quark espectral [101].
+
+5.2.1. Modelo Quark de Nambu�Jona-Lasinio

+
+,
+
+(5.13)
+
+donde q = (u, d, s, . . .) representa el campo de los quarks con Nc colores y Nf sabores.
+
+Las 's son las matrices de Gell-Mann del grupo U(Nf ) y m^ 0 = diag(mu, md, ms, . . .) es la matriz de masa de los quarks. 1/a2s y 1/a2v son las constantes de acoplamiento. Este lagrangiano es invariante bajo simetr�ia global de color SU(Nc).
+
+El funcional generador en presencia de campos externos boso�nicos (s, p, v, a) y fermi�oni-
+
+cos (, ) es
+
+ZNJL[s, p, v, a, , ] = DqDq exp - d4x(LNJL + q(v/ + a/ 5 + s + i5p)q + q + q) .
+(5.14) Los s�imbolos s, p, v� y a� indican campos externos (en espacio de sabor) de tipo escalar, pseudoescalar, vector y axial, respectivamente. En funci�on de los generadores del grupo de sabor U(Nf ), estos se escriben

En esta f�ormula (S, P, V, A) representan campos boso�nicos din�amicos internos de tipo escalar, pseudoescalar, vector y axial respectivamente. Los campos S(x), P(x), V�(x) y A�(x) son matrices en espacio interno (que se entiende como espacio de sabor), son la identidad en espacio de Dirac y operadores multiplicativos en el espacio x. S(x) es herm�itico y P(x), V�(x) y A�(x) son antiherm�iticos. En la secci�on 5.4 extenderemos los campos A�(x) y V�(x) para que sean matrices no triviales en espacio de color, lo que nos permitira� acoplar el loop de Polyakov de color en el modelo. Por conveniencia en nuestro desarrollo hemos incluido la rotura expl�icita de la simetr�ia quiral (proporcional a m^ 0) en el t�ermino boso�nico local. Podemos integrar formalmente sobre fermiones, lo cual conduce a

+En adelante nos vamos a referir al t�ermino q[D] como la contribucio�n de los quarks a un loop. E�ste ser�a el t�ermino que calculemos como aplicaci�on de nuestro desarrollo del heat kernel a temperatura finita.
+La contribucio�n de los quarks a la accio�n efectiva se puede separar en una parte 5-par y otra 5-impar, correspondiente a procesos de paridad normal y anormal, respectivamente. En espacio eucl�ideo, la primera corresponde a la parte real de la accio�n efectiva, y la segunda a la parte imaginaria. Introduciremos el operador
+
+D5[S, P, V, A] = 5D[S, -P, V, -A]5 ,
+
+(5.24)
+
+que en espacio eucl�ideo se corresponde con el herm�itico conjugado D. La contribucio�n de paridad normal es cuadr�aticamente divergente y puede ser regularizada de un modo invariante gauge quiral mediante el esquema de Pauli-Villars [56]

+
+solamente la parte real de la contribucio�n de los quarks a un loop, esto es (5.25), esta accio�n
+
+presenta un punto estacionario invariante traslacional en (S, P ) = (, 0), (V�, A�) = (0, 0)

+5.2.2. Modelo Quark Espectral
+El Modelo Quark Espectral, desarrollado recientemente por E. Ruiz Arriola y W. Broniowski [101], es aplicable a f�isica hadr�onica en el rango de baja energ�ia. La novedad reside en el uso de una regularizacio�n espectral basada en la introducci�on a nivel formal de la representacio�n de Lehmann [50] del propagador del quark. Esta regularizacio�n permite resolver de una manera simple las identidades de Ward-Takahashi quiral y electromagn�etica mediante el uso de la llamada prescripci�on gauge [103]. Consideraremos el modelo a nivel de un loop fermi�onico y en el l�imite quiral en que la masa de los quarks es cero.
+En esta secci�on vamos a seguir la referencia [101]. El punto de partida es el propagador del quark, que en espacio de momentos se define
+
+S(p) = d4xe-px 0|T {q(x)q(0)}|0 .
+
+(5.32)
+
+Consideraremos una representacio�n espectral para el propagador
+
+S(p) =
+
+C
+
+d
+
+() /p -
+
+,
+
+(5.33)
+
+donde () es la funci�on espectral y C indica un contorno de integracio�n en el plano
+
+complejo  elegido de un modo conveniente. Este propagador puede ser parametrizado en

+la forma est�andar

+
+respectivamente. Notar que si () = (-) tendr�iamos M(p) = 0 y no existir�ia rotura espont�anea de la simetr�ia quiral. Por tanto es de esperar que () no sea una funci�on par en general. La funci�on espectral debe ser tal que proporcione valores finitos para los observables hadr�onicos. Esto dara� lugar a una serie de condiciones que deben cumplir los momentos y los momentos logar�itmicos de (),
+
+n = dn() ,
+C
+
+n = d log(2/�2)n() , C
+
+n  Z.
+
+(5.37)
+
+Aqu�i � es una cierta escala. Notar que por normalizacio�n 0 = 1. Como ejemplo consideremos el condensado de quarks (por el momento trabajaremos a temperatura cero)

+
+(5.38)
+
+Tras tomar la traza en el espacio de Dirac, la integral es cuadr�aticamente divergente.
+
+Un modo de regularizarla es haciendo uso de un cutoff tridimensional con la siguiente

+sustitucio�n
+
+

+(5.40)
+
+Puesto que el resultado debe ser finito en el l�imite   , es necesario imponer las condiciones 1 = 0 y 3 = 0, lo cual conduce a qq = -Nc3/(42). El c�alculo de otros observables va a dar lugar a condiciones adicionales. En general todos los observables van a ser proporcionales a los momentos inversos y a los momentos logar�itmicos, y para que sean finitos se debe cumplir n = 0, n > 0. El modelo espectral no se ha desarrollado ma�s all�a de un loop.
+La prescripci�on gauge fue usada en el pasado en la obtenci�on de soluciones de las ecuaciones de Schwinger-Dyson. Haciendo uso de ella se pueden resolver en este modelo las identidades de Ward-Takahashi. Sin embargo en situaciones en las que las l�ineas de propagadores de los quarks est�an cerradas es ma�s conveniente el formalismo de la accio�n efectiva. Consideraremos, como en el modelo de Nambu�Jona-Lasinio, acoplamientos escalar, pseudo-escalar, vector y axial. El acoplamiento quark-pio�n debe satisfacer la relacio�n de Goldberger-Treiman [18]. Con estas premisas, la accio�n efectiva de este modelo a nivel de un loop de quarks se puede escribir como
+
+SQM = -Nc d4x d()tr log (D/V + A/ 5 + U 5) , C
+
+(5.41)
+
+donde D�V = � + V� es la derivada covariante vector. En el modelo NJL, M jugaba el papel de la masa constituyente de los quarks. En el modelo espectral M se convierte en
+
+5.3 Problem�atica de los modelos de quarks quirales a temperatura finita
+
+103
+
+la variable de integracio�n  de la funci�on espectral. La diferencia esencial con el modelo NJL, y en general con todos los modelos de quarks quirales, es que aqu�i no consideramos un cutoff que separe el r�egimen de baja energ�ia, donde se supone que el modelo funciona, y el r�egimen de alta energ�ia.
+En el cap�itulo 7 se hara� un estudio ma�s extenso del modelo espectral considerando un espacio-tiempo curvo, y se introducira� el esquema de dominancia del mes�on vectorial, que constituye una realizacio�n simple del modelo y proporciona una forma expl�icita para la funci�on espectral.
+
+5.3. Problem�atica de los modelos de quarks quirales a temperatura finita
+El tratamiento est�andar de los Modelos de Quarks Quirales a Temperatura Finita presenta algunas inconsistencias. Por una parte, en el c�alculo de observables aparecen involucrados estados excitados con cualquier nu�mero de quarks, y esto ocurre incluso para temperaturas bajas. Sorprendentemente, durante mucho tiempo no ha habido demasiada preocupaci�on por parte de los autores en resolver este problema, y normalmente lo han atribuido a fallos del propio modelo, tales como falta de confinamiento.

+El comportamiento de (5.45) a temperatura pequen~a es

+S(x, i) T pequen~o e-M/T ,
+
+(5.46)
+
+lo cual representa la supresio�n exponencial a temperatura pequen~a correspondiente al propagador de un u�nico quark. Si nos fijamos en ec. (5.44), esto significa que el condensado de quarks se puede escribir en t�erminos de factores de Boltzmann estad�isticos con masa Mn = nM. Esto constituye un problema, pues significa que el ban~o t�ermico est�a formado por quarks constituyentes libres, sin ningu�n confinamiento de color.1
+El condensado de quarks a temperatura finita no es invariante gauge (en el sentido de transformaciones gauge grandes). En efecto, del ejemplo del condensado se tiene
+
+
+
+qq T =
+
+(-1)n q(x0)q(0) |x0=in ,
+
+n=-
+
+(5.48)
+
+o sea, el condensado a temperatura finita se puede escribir como una suma coherente de condensados de quarks no locales a temperatura cero. Notar que la contribucio�n de temperatura cero corresponde al t�ermino n = 0 en la sumatoria. Bajo una transformaci�on gauge de tipo central se tiene
+
+
+
+q�q T 
+
+(-z)n q�(x0)q(0)
+
+.
+
+n=-
+
+x0 =in
+
+(5.49)
+
+Esto significa que (5.48) no es invariante gauge, y el condensado se puede descomponer en
+una suma de representaciones irreducibles con una trialidad dada n, lo cual genera estados con cualquier nu�mero de quarks  e-nM .
+
+1Este ca�lculo se puede extender a cualquier observable que sea singlete de color en el l�imite de temperatura cero, y el resultado general que se obtiene es que los ca�lculos en modelos de quarks a temperatura finita en la aproximaci�on de un loop van a generar todos los estados posibles de quarks, esto es
+
+OT = OT =0 + Oqe-M/T + Oqqe-2M/T + � � � .
+
+(5.47)
+
+Notar que, si bien el t�ermino Oq corresponde al estado de un quark aislado, el siguiente t�ermino Oqq tiene que ser un estado diquark qq, correspondiente a un u�nico quark que se propaga dando dos vueltas
+alrededor del cilindro t�ermico. Este t�ermino no puede ser un estado mes�onico qq, puesto que a un loop
+este estado viene de la l�inea de un quark que primero sube y despu�es baja en tiempo imaginario. En este caso el camino no da ninguna vuelta alrededor del cilindro t�ermico, y por tanto su contribuci�on esta� ya incluida en el t�ermino de temperatura cero OT =0.
+
+5.4 Acoplamiento del loop de Polyakov en los Modelos de Quarks Quirales
+

+
+Este problema se puede evitar imponiendo a mano que el condensado sea invariante gauge. Esto se har�ia eliminando de la suma en (5.49) los t�erminos que no tienen trialidad cero, esto es

+
+5.3.3. Conflicto con Teor�ia Quiral de Perturbaciones
+
+Aparte del problema de la generacio�n de estados multi-quarks que no preservan trialidad, surge otra problema�tica cuando comparamos nuestros resultados con los de Teor�ia Quiral de Perturbaciones a temperatura finita. En el l�imite quiral, esto es para m  2T  4f, las correcciones t�ermica de orden ma�s bajo al condensado de quarks (por ejemplo, para Nf = 2), vienen dadas por

+
+(5.51)
+
+ Puesto que f  Nc, las correcciones de temperatura finita est�an suprimidas en Nc en relacio�n a la contribucio�n de temperatura cero. Este hecho contradice el resultado de
+
+ec. (5.48), pues de ah�i se obtiene que todas las correcciones t�ermicas son del mismo orden
+
+en un contaje en Nc. El resultado de TQP, ec. (5.51), se ha obtenido considerando loops pio�nicos, los cuales
+
+son dominantes para T  M. El problema reside en que incluso sin loops pio�nicos los
+
+modelos de quarks quirales predicen una transici�on de fase quiral en torno a Tc  170 MeV, lo cual concuerda bien, aunque de manera injustificada, con los resultados en el ret�iculo.
+
+5.4. Acoplamiento del loop de Polyakov en los Mode-
+los de Quarks Quirales
+A temperatura cero es posible preservar la invariancia gauge mediante el acoplamiento de los gluones con el modelo. Dentro del esp�iritu del modelo, estos grados de libertad deber�ian tratarse de un modo perturbativo, pues los quarks constituyentes llevan cierta informaci�on sobre efectos glu�onicos no perturbativos.
+A temperatura finita la situacio�n es diferente pues, como hemos dicho ya, un tratamiento perturbativo de la componente cero del campo glu�onico romper�ia expl�icitamente la invariancia gauge. Por tanto, tiene sentido considerar aqu�i el loop de Polyakov gluo�nico y su acoplamiento con los modelos quirales. K. Fukushima [104] sugiere este acoplamiento en virtud de la analog�ia que existe entre el loop de Polyakov y el potencial qu�imico (ver
+
+106
+
+Cap�itulo 5: Modelos de Quarks Quirales a Temperatura Finita
+
+sec. 2.1). El tratamiento que vamos a considerar nosotros parte del uso del heat kernel a temperatura finita (cap�itulo 2). Nuestra aproximaci�on es similar a la de Fukushima, excepto por el hecho de que consideraremos un loop de Polyakov local (x) sujeto a fluctuaciones cua�nticas. Un tratamiento de campo medio no permitir�ia tener en cuenta estas fluctuaciones, y al final del cap�itulo veremos que �estas pueden ser importantes para que los resultados del modelo se muestren compatibles con estudios recientes en el ret�iculo.
+
+5.4.1. Acoplamiento m�inimo del loop de Polyakov
+
+En los modelos de quarks quirales debemos considerar quarks con grados de libertad de sabor y de color. A partir de ahora consideraremos el operador de Dirac, ec. (5.19), como un operador no trivial en espacio de color. Lo podemos escribir de la siguiente forma:
+
+D =D/V + A/f 5 + M U 5 ,
+
+(5.52)
+
+donde D�V = � + V�f + gV�c�0 es la derivada covariante vector. V�f y Af� son matrices antiherm�iticas en espacio de sabor y la identidad en el espacio de color. V�c es la identidad en espacio de sabor y matriz antiherm�itica en espacio de color. Los acoplamientos gauge de sabor dara�n lugar a loops de Polyakov con quiralidades right y left.2 Los acoplamientos
+gauge de color dara�n lugar al loop de Polyakov con grados de libertad de color,
+
+x0 +

+c(x0, x) = T exp -g
+
+dx0 V0c(x0, x) .
+
+x0
+
+(5.55)
+
+c es una matriz en espacio de color, y la identidad en espacio de sabor. En esta tesis u�nicamente nos vamos a preocupar del loop de Polyakov de color, que denotaremos como lo venimos haciendo hasta ahora, , de modo que el loop de Polyakov de sabor lo consideraremos igual a la identidad.
+Si nos fijamos en ec. (5.26), podemos hacer uso del desarrollo del heat kernel a temperatura finita (cap�itulo 2) para obtener el lagrangiano efectivo como un desarrollo en derivadas covariantes. El lagrangiano va a tener la forma
+

+operadores locales covariantes gauge On (esto es, que contienen derivadas covariantes), y fn((x)) son funciones dependientes de la temperatura y del loop de Polyakov. Estas funciones reemplazan los coeficientes num�ericos presentes en el caso de temperatura cero.
+En estos c�alculos, el loop de Polyakov aparece m�inimamente acoplado a trav�es de las frecuencias de Matsubara fermi�onicas modificadas3

+F (x; x) es el propagador fermi�onico a temperatura finita que comienza y acaba en el mismo punto. En ec.

(2.36), y considerar la transformada de Fourier.
+La interpretacio�n de ec. (5.58) se puede visualizar en fig. 5.1. En un loop de quarks a temperatura finita con un nu�mero arbitrario de campos externos y con una l�inea de Wilson no trivial, cada vez que los quarks dan una vuelta alrededor de la direccio�n temporal compatificada, estos adquieren una fase (-1) debido a la estad�istica de Fermi-Dirac, y un factor no abeliano de Aharonov-Bohm4 . La contribucio�n total del diagrama se obtiene sumando sobre todas las vueltas y calculando la traza en espacio de color.
+
+5.4.2. Promedio sobre el grupo
+
+En la secci�on 5.4.1 se ha considerado el acoplamiento m�inimo del loop de Polyakov con el modelo quark quiral, que consiste simplemente en hacer la sustitucio�n
+
+0  0 + gV0c ,
+
+(5.59)
+
+en el operador de Dirac, ec. (5.19). El modelo quark quiral acoplado con el loop de Polyakov se obtiene considerando el acoplamiento m�inimo de ec. (5.59), y una integracio�n del campo glu�onico V0 de un modo que preserve invariancia gauge. Esto va a generar una funci�on de particio�n de la forma

G es la accio�n efectiva gluo�nica y Q corresponde a la accio�n efectiva de los quarks. Ec. (5.60) es una expresi�on gen�erica, va�lida tanto para el modelo NJL como para el modelo espectral, siempre y cuando se considere la correspondiente accio�n efectiva de los quarks: ec. (5.21) en el primer caso y ec. (5.41) para el segundo.
+Si no se tuviera en cuenta la medida de Haar de color, y se considerara V0c = 0 y  = 1, se obtendr�ia la forma original del modelo quark quiral, donde existe una relacio�n uno a uno entre el desarrollo en loops y el desarrollo en Nc grande, tanto a temperatura cero como a temperatura finita. De manera equivalente se podr�ia considerar una aproximaci�on de punto de silla y sus correcciones. En presencia del loop de Polyakov tal correspondencia no existe, de modo que consideraremos un desarrollo en loops de quarks, esto es, una aproximaci�on de punto de silla para el campo boso�nico U, y mantendremos la integracio�n en el loop de Polyakov (constante) . En el trabajo de [104] se hace uso de la aproximaci�on de punto de silla para .
+La integracio�n del loop de Polyakov  debe realizarse de acuerdo con la dina�mica de QCD. Esto implica un promedio sobre el loop de Polyakov local con cierto peso normalizado (; x) D.

+5.5. Lagrangiano Quiral a Temperatura Finita
+
+La estructura de QCD a bajas energ�ias se puede describir muy bien en teor�ia quiral de perturbaciones. El desarrollo quiral corresponde a un desarrollo en potencias de los momentos externos de los campos. Los campos pseudoescalares U son de orden O(p0), los campos vector V�, axial A� y cualquier derivada � son de orden O(p). Los campos externos escalar S, pseudoescalar P y la matriz de masa de los quarks m0 son de orden O(p2).
+Como se muestra en trabajos previos a temperatura cero [105, 106, 107, 108, 109], los modelos de quarks quirales permiten entender de un modo cuantitativo y microsc�opico la estructura del lagrangiano efectivo a bajas energ�ias que se deduce de TQP para los mesones pseudoescalares a nivel �arbol. En concreto, proporcionan valores num�ericos para las contribuciones de orden ma�s bajo en Nc de las constantes de baja energ�ia.
+En esta secci�on vamos a extender los resultados de temperatura cero a temperatura finita, y consideraremos la influencia del loop de Polyakov. Siguiendo el m�etodo desarrollado en el cap�itulo 2, y que ya aplicamos en el cap�itulo 3 para el c�alculo de la accio�n efectiva de QCD en el r�egimen de temperatura alta, se puede escribir la estructura del lagrangiano efectivo a baja energ�ia para los mesones pseudoescalares a temperatura finita a nivel a�rbol, mediante un desarrollo de tipo heat kernel para los modelos de quarks quirales a nivel de un loop. En TQP a temperatura finita se considera en general que las constantes de baja energ�ia son independientes de la temperatura. E�sta es una suposici�on bastante razonable, ya que la aplicabilidad de TQP se basa en la existencia de un gap de masa entre los bosones de Goldstone y el resto del espectro hadr�onico. Para mesones no extran~os el gap viene dado por la masa del meso�n , MV , de modo que es de esperar que la dependencia en temperatura de las constantes de baja energ�ia sea del orden de e-MV /T . En un modelo quark quiral, los mesones pseudoescalares son part�iculas compuestas de quarks constituyentes con una masa M, y los efectos t�erminos tambi�en deber�ian de influir en su estructura microsc�opica. El c�alculo que realizaremos en esta secci�on va a permitir analizar esto de una manera cuantitativa.
+
+5.5.1. Estructura del lagrangiano
+El c�alculo del lagrangiano quiral efectivo a temperatura finita en los modelos de quarks quirales se limita, desde un punta de vista t�ecnico, al c�alculo de trazas en espacio de Dirac y en espacio de sabor. En el ap�endice D se hace en detalle. Mostraremos aqu�i el resultado final.

Por una parte existen t�erminos que se pueden escribir como los del lagrangiano a temperatura cero, pero con acoplamientos efectivos dependientes de la temperatura. Adema�s de estos, existen nuevos t�erminos que rompen invariancia Lorentz. Curiosamente, en el lagrangiano aparecen menos t�erminos del segundo tipo de los que en un principio se podr�ia pensar en base a las simetr�ias conocidas. Todav�ia no entendemos del todo este hecho, que parece sugerir la existencia de alguna simetr�ia accidental. Si bien sospechamos que esta simetr�ia existe s�olo a un loop, ser�ia interesante encontrarla expl�icitamente.

+modelo de Nambu�Jona-Lasinio. Para evitar complicaciones con el loop de Polyakov, hemos considerado el modelo NJL sin integracio�n de los campos de esp�in 1 (vector y axial).8

Notar que M no s�olo aparece como argumento de las integrales Jl, sino que tambi�en aparece en forma de factores multiplicativos. Esto dara� lugar a un nu�mero mayor de funciones independientes

+
+5.6. Correcciones de orden superior
+En las secciones 5.4 y 5.5 hemos considerado los modelos de quarks quirales a nivel de un loop de quarks. Esto corresponde a la aproximaci�on quenched dentro del modelo. Asimismo se ha hecho uso de que a temperaturas suficientemente pequen~as basta con considerar el promedio sobre el grupo gauge de color SU(Nc). En esta secci�on discutiremos algunas consecuencias importantes que se obtienen al ir ma�s all�a de estas aproximaciones.
+
+5.6.1. M�as all�a de un loop de quarks
+El ir ma�s all�a de la aproximaci�on de un loop de quarks puede conducir a c�alculos bastante tediosos (ver refs. [110, 111] para c�alculos expl�icitos del modelo NJL est�andar sin loop de Polyakov). Aqu�i no nos vamos a preocupar de hacer un c�alculo expl�icito, no obstante se pueden deducir algunas consecuencias importantes basadas en ciertas reglas de contaje en Nc a temperatura finita.
+Consideremos, por ejemplo, el diagrama a tres loops de la figura 5.2, que contribuye al condensado quiral en el modelo NJL en t�erminos de los propagadores de los quarks. La contribucio�n de este diagrama se escribe9
+
+Fig.(2a) =
+
+S(w(1))  S(w(1))  S(w(2))  S(w(3))  S(w(1) + w(3) - w(2)) .

+w (1) ,w (2) ,w (3)

+Figura 5.2: Diagrama t�ipico ma�s all�a de un loop para el operador del condensado de quarks qq. Las l�ineas de los quarks con momentos independientes pueden dar n vueltas alrededor del tiempo eucl�ideo compactificado, dando lugar al factor de Fermi-Polyakov (-)n. La conservaci�on de trialidad solamente permite que las l�ineas internas de quark-antiquark den una u�nica vuelta y en sentidos opuestos, lo cual genera una supresio�n exponencial e-2M para el diagrama a). Una supresio�n similar ocurre para el diagrama b) si las vueltas del quark-antiquark ocurren en cada una de las burbujas. El diagrama c) se corresponde con una suma de todos los estados intermedios con los mismos nu�meros cua�nticos, y puede interpretarse como la l�inea de un meso�n.
+
+Haciendo uso de la f�ormula de Poisson para la sumatoria, ec. (2.36), y yendo a espacio eucl�ideo se tiene

+
+La conservaci�on de trialidad para este diagrama implica, n1 + n2 + n3 = kNc, y el valor m�inimo del exponente se consigue con n1 = n2 = n3 = 0, que es la contribucio�n de temperatura cero. La primera correcci�on t�ermica a temperatura pequen~a viene dada por n1 = 0, n2 = -n3 = 1, de modo que el diagrama a 3 loops de fig.(2a) se encuentra suprimido en un factor  e-2M , en comparaci�on con la supresio�n de un loop de quarks  e-NcM . Una supresio�n t�ermica similar se obtiene si introducimos la suma est�andar sobre burbujas, que puede acoplarse a los nu�meros cua�nticos de los mesones transformando el argumento del exponente en 2M  Mqq. Obviamente, esta contribucio�n resulta ma�s importante para el pio�n ma�s ligero. En realidad, el diagrama quark-mes�on de la fig.(2b) es similar al diagrama bosonizado de dos loops que se muestra en fig.(2c). Para este diagrama bosonizado los argumentos previos resultan ma�s simples, ya que el nu�mero de loops es igual al nu�mero de propagadores de quarks. El operador de polarizacio�n del pio�n, proporcional al propagador del pio�n, se puede tomar a temperatura cero, ya que la supresio�n ma�s importante viene de las l�ineas de quarks que no est�an acopladas a los nu�meros cua�nticos del pio�n.

+
+Cap�itulo 5: Modelos de Quarks Quirales a Temperatura Finita
+
+Para un diagrama bosonizado con L loops de quarks, tenemos que considerar L generalizaciones de las correcciones a nivel de un loop de quarks, ec. (5.58). El an�alisis es ma�s simple en espacio de coordenadas. En lugar del nu�mero total de propagadores de quarks, consideramos la suma de Poisson de L propagadores. Esto se puede hacer mediante la f�ormula
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+dx4F (x4 + n + m) =
+
+dx4F (x4 + n) .
+
+n,m=- 0
+
+n=- -
+
+(5.77)
+
+Esto significa que es posible eliminar tantas sumas de Poisson como integrales en coor-
+denadas aparecen en las expresiones. Haciendo uso de L = I - (V - 1) y 4V = E + 2I tenemos10

+n1,...,nL
+
+(5.78)
+
+En realidad, esta regla no depende de la forma precisa de la interaccio�n de los quarks. A bajas temperaturas, cada l�inea de quark con un �indice de Poisson independiente genera una supresio�n dada por una masa constituyente de quark. Por tanto, la contribucio�n a un observable se puede descomponer esquem�aticamente del siguiente modo
+
+OT =
+
+O  n1...nL n1+...nL e-M (|n1|+���+|nL|) .
+

+con k = 0, 1, 2, . . . . El t�ermino dominante en el desarrollo de ec. (5.79) es aquel para el que
+
+n1 = . . . = nL = 0 con un nu�mero arbitrario de loops de quarks L, y se corresponde con la contribucio�n de temperatura cero. Adema�s, se ve que para L = 1 u�nicamente se tienen
+
+contribuciones de n1 = kNc, lo cual da lugar a correcciones e-NcM, que permiten reproducir los resultados de las secciones 5.4 y 5.5. A partir de la ec. (5.79) podemos ver c�omo se
+
+organiza el desarrollo t�ermico para temperaturas bajas. Las contribuciones t�ermicas ma�s

+t�ermica viene dada por L = 2 y n1 = -n2 = 1 con n3 = . . . = nL = 0, lo cual da el factor
+
+e-2M y se corresponde con un estado meso�nico qq. Esta contribucio�n est�a suprimida por
+
+un factor 1/Nc en relacio�n con la contribucio�n de temperatura cero. Para Nc = 3 el siguien-
+te t�ermino en el desarrollo corresponder�ia a L  3 y n1 = n2 = n3 = 1, lo cual da lugar a una supresio�n t�ermica e-NcM . Para Nc  5 se tendr�ia L  4 con n1 = -n2 = n3 = n4 = 1

+
+As�i es como funciona la dualidad quark-hadro�n en los modelos de quarks quirales a tempera-
+
+tura finita. Como vemos, las contribuciones de los loops pio�nicos son las ma�s importantes,
+
+incluso si se tiene en cuenta que est�an suprimidas en 1/Nc. La siguiente contribucio�n al observable total a temperatura finita viene dada por los estados meso�nicos sucesivos. En su
+
+conjunto, esto es lo que se espera como consecuencia de la inclusio�n del loop de Polyakov
+
+en los modelos de quarks quirales, teniendo en cuenta la proyeccio�n sobre el sector singlete
+
+de color invariante gauge.

+contribuciones ma�s importantes para Nc grande o T pequen~o son las debidas a loops meso�nicos.
+
+La discusio�n anterior est�a centrada en observables que contienen quarks. Para el valor

+
+apantalla la carga del loop de Polyakov test. Este t�ermino escala como e-M/T . Al contrario que para observables con quarks como el condensado quiral, este comportamiento no se ve afectado por loops pio�nicos. En sec. 5.6.4 obtendremos expresiones expl�icitas para estos observables en el modelo NJL.
+
+5.6.2. Correcciones glu�onicas
+
+Hasta ahora hemos considerado simplemente una integracio�n sobre la medida del grupo
+
+gauge. Desafortunadamente, no conocemos ningu�n argumento general por el cual tenga
+
+que existir una supresio�n exponencial de los grados de libertad gluo�nicos a temperaturas
+
+bajas, y por tanto dejando la medida de Haar como u�nico vestigio de los gluones. No
+
+obstante, los resultados basados en desarrollos con acoplamientos grandes [112, 113] y en
+
+la aproximaci�on de gluones masivos a un loop [114, 115] proporcionan esta supresio�n, y de
+
+hecho los resultados recientes en el ret�iculo confirman una sorprendente universalidad en
+
+todas las representaciones de los grupos, y favorece el mecanismo dominante del promedio
+
+simple sobre el grupo [94].
+
+De manera ma�s espec�ifica, de los datos del ret�iculo [94] y de la medida del grupo se
+
+encuentra que
+
+|trc |2 = 1 ,
+
+(5.89)
+
+en la fase de confinamiento, o de manera equivalente trc  = 0, para la representacio�n adjunta. Notar que en la aproximaci�on de campo medio [104] |trc |2 se anula, debido a la ausencia de fluctuaciones.
+El potencial glu�onico a orden ma�s bajo que se deduce del desarrollo con acoplamientos
+grandes viene dado por [112, 113]
+
+G[] = Vglue[] � a3/T = -2(d - 1) e-a/T trc 2 ,
+
+(5.90)
+
+para Nc = 3 con la tensi�on de la cuerda  = (425 MeV)2. A nivel de campo medio Vglue[] da lugar a una transici�on de fase de primer orden con el acoplamiento cr�itico 2(d-1)e-a/TD =
+
+0,5153. Se puede fijar la temperatura de transici�on a su valor emp�irico TD = 270 MeV mediante la eleccio�n a-1 = 272 MeV [104]. La masa correspondiente es mG = a = 664 MeV.

Notar que num�ericamente, incluso la contribucio�n de dos loops pio�nicos resultar�ia ma�s importante que las correcciones gluo�nicas.

+
+En una serie de trabajos recientes [114, 115] se ha obtenido la ecuaci�on de estado para un gas de gluones masivos con una masa dependiente de temperatura en presencia del loop de Polyakov, lo cual permite reproducir los datos del ret�iculo de manera bastante precisa por encima de la transici�on de fase. La densidad de energ�ia de vac�io se escribe

+
+(5.93)
+
+donde k = k2 + m2G, con mG la masa del glu�on. La dependencia en temperatura que se considera en estos trabajos es mG(T ) = T g(T ) 2, que en la transici�on de fase (T = TD) toma el valor mG(TD) = 1,2 - 1,3 TD. Si se toma un valor constante para la masa del gluo�n por debajo de la transici�on de fase, a bajas temperaturas se obtiene

+
+Haciendo uso de la representacio�n asint�otica de las funciones de Bessel, se obtiene una supresio�n similar a la que se encuentra en el l�imite de acoplamientos grandes.
+
+5.6.3. Correcciones locales en el loop de Polyakov
+
+Vamos a considerar aqu�i un tratamiento preliminar de las correcciones locales en el loop de Polyakov. Hasta ahora se ha considerado un campo  constante en el espacio. De manera general, el loop de Polyakov depende tanto del tiempo eucl�ideo como de las coordenadas espaciales. En el gauge de Polyakov la dependencia en tiempo eucl�ideo es simple, pero au�n queda una dependencia en coordenadas que es desconocida. En tal caso, las reglas anteriores deben ser modificadas, ya que las inserciones del loop de Polyakov llevara�n un momento, y el resultado depende de su ordenamiento. Si seguimos considerando, como hasta ahora, que el loop de Polyakov es la u�nica fuente de color en el problema, nos vamos a encontrar con funciones de correlacio�n de loops de Polyakov. En la fase de confinamiento es de esperar una descomposici�on basada en la existencia de propiedades de agrupamiento para cada par de variables. Por ejemplo, se tiene
+
+trc(x1, ) trc-1(x2, )  e-|x1-x2| .
+
+(5.96)
+
+Por tanto, valores muy diferentes en la coordenada espacial est�an suprimidos, de modo que tiene sentido considerar una aproximaci�on local dentro de la longitud de correlacio�n, y desarrollar las funciones de correlacio�n en gradientes dentro de esta regio�n. En una primera aproximaci�on, esto se corresponde con la sustitucio�n del volumen cuatridimensional por un dominio de correlacio�n, mediante la regla

+
+En el lagrangiano quiral a bajas energ�ias, que se obtiene desarrollando la accio�n efectiva en derivadas de los campos meso�nicos, aparecen tambi�en gradientes del loop de Polyakov. Este hecho se comenta en ref. [100]. En realidad, puesto que estamos acoplando el loop de Polyakov de manera efectiva como un potencial qu�imico de color dependiente de x, nuestra aproximaci�on es similar a una generalizacio�n no abeliana de la aproximaci�on de densidad local en teor�ia de muchos cuerpos de f�isica nuclear y materia condensada, dentro del esp�iritu de la teor�ia del funcional de la densidad.
+
+5.6.4. Resultados m�as all�a de la aproximacio�n quenched
+
+En esta secci�on nos proponemos ir ma�s all�a de la aproximaci�on quenched en el c�alculo de algunos observables concretos, y para ello deberemos tener en cuenta la contribucio�n del determinante fermi�onico. El modelo quark quiral completo con acoplamiento del loop de Polyakov viene dado por ec. (5.60). La contribucio�n de los quarks a la funci�on de particio�n del modelo NJL se escribe como
+
+ZQ[U, ] := e-Q[U,] = Det(D) exp

+
+(5.98)
+
+que se obtiene a partir de ecs. (5.22)-(5.23) donde se ha aplicado la ecuaci�on del gap, ec. (5.28). En la secci�on 5.5 se calcul�o del determinante fermi�onico en presencia de un loop de Polyakov (lentamente variable), como un desarrollo en momentos externos de los campos
+
+Det(D) = e- d4x Lq(x) = exp - d4x (Lq(0)(x) + Lq(2)(x) + Lq(4)(x) + � � � ) . (5.99)
+
+De acuerdo con la discusio�n de la secci�on 5.6.3, la aproximaci�on de loop de Polyakov lentamente variable tiene sentido en una regio�n donde existen correlaciones fuertes entre loops de Polyakov. Para nuestros prop�ositos, bastara� con considerar aqu�i la contribucio�n de vac�io Lq(0). En el modelo de NJL esta contribucio�n se escribe

Notar que en este punto au�n no hemos considerado la integracio�n en el grupo gauge SU(Nc), de modo que no escribimos los corchetes . . . como hicimos en la secci�on 5.5. En ec. (5.60) la integracio�n en DU la hemos realizado a nivel cl�asico, mediante el uso de las

+anal�iticamente en el l�imite de temperatura pequen~a. En este r�egimen pueden despreciarse las correcciones glu�onicas e-G[] (ver secci�on 5.6.2), de modo que en el promedio sobre el
+grupo solamente contribuira� la medida de Haar D. Cuando T es suficientemente pequen~o, se puede considerar el desarrollo del t�ermino L(q0)(, T ) en la exponencial de ec. (5.101). A primer orden en este desarrollo aparecen las siguientes funciones de correlacio�n entre loops de Polyakov12

+
+est�a justificado usar de manera efectiva el loop de Polyakov como un para�metro de orden para la simetr�ia del centro incluso en el caso unquenched. En realidad, nuestro an�alisis sugiere que un c�alculo del loop de Polyakov en QCD completo podr�ia constituir un m�etodo para extraer una masa constituyente de los quarks invariante gauge. En cualquier caso, ser�ia deseable disponer de datos en el ret�iculo del loop de Polyakov para temperaturas bajas, T  50 MeV, con objeto de hacer un an�alisis preciso.

+
+La expresi�on de J-1 viene dada en ec. (D.24). A partir de aqu�i, el procedimiento para hallar el comportamiento de qq T a baja temperatura es id�entico al caso del valor esperado del loop de Polyakov. En el r�egimen de T pequen~o, nuevamente e-G[] se puede despreciar, y podemos desarrollar el t�ermino L(q0)(, T ) que aparece en e-Q[]. Teniendo en cuenta las

+
+En el modelo quark espectral se obtiene el resultado de ec. (5.110), con la sustitucio�n 2M  MV (la masa del meso�n ), y un factor multiplicativo ligeramente diferente.
+Como vemos, en el c�alculo unquenched el enfriamiento de Polyakov persiste, aunque es un poco menos efectivo que en el c�alculo quenched. Este mismo an�alisis se puede hacer para otros observables, por ejemplo las constantes de baja energ�ia del lagrangiano efectivo quiral tienen un comportamiento LTi - LTi =0 T pequen~o e-MV /T [100].
+Finalmente, ser�ia necesario incluir ma�s loops de quarks, o equivalentemente excitaciones meso�nicas. Esto dar�ia exactamente el resultado de TQP con piones sin masa dominando en la regio�n de temperaturas pequen~as. Por tanto, vemos que cuando el loop de Polyakov se acopla de manera conveniente a los modelos de quarks quirales, se obtiene una explicaci�on natural de los resultados encontrados hace tiempo en modelos puramente hadro�nicos.
+
+5.7. Implicaciones sobre la transici�on de fase de QCD
+En la secci�on 5.6 se hizo un estudio anal�itico del comportamiento a baja temperatura del loop de Polyakov y del condensado quiral en QCD unquenched. Resultar�ia interesante estudiar el comportamiento que predice nuestro modelo para estos observables en la regio�n de la transici�on de fase, y para ello deberemos integrar num�ericamente las ecuaciones (5.101) y (5.109). A diferencia de nuestro tratamiento, en ref. [104] se hace un estudio en la aproximaci�on de campo medio, en el cual la probabilidad de encontrar un loop de
+
+5.7 Implicaciones sobre la transici�on de fase de QCD
+
+123
+
+Polyakov dado es una funci�on delta. La integral en el grupo permite tener en cuenta una dispersio�n de esa probabilidad debido a efectos cua�nticos.
+Para Nc = 3 el loop de Polyakov contiene dos variables independientes. En el gauge de Polyakov, 0A0 = 0, se puede parametrizar como una matriz diagonal del siguiente modo
+
+ = diag(ei1 , ei2, e-i(1+2)) .
+

+ec. (5.115).

+En fig. 5.3 se muestra el comportamiento del condensado quiral qq T y el valor esperado del loop de Polyakov L = trc /Nc en diferentes tratamientos del modelo NJL. Se compara la predicci�on est�andar del modelo NJL, con el c�alculo en aproximaci�on de campo medio de ref. [104], que corresponde a minimizar la energ�ia de vac�io como funci�on de la masa constituyente M y del valor esperado del loop de Polyakov L. Comparamos asimismo con el resultado que obtenemos al considerar una integracio�n en el loop de Polyakov  con correcciones locales. En la figura se muestra adema�s el comportamiento de L que se obtiene en gluodin�amica, con el modelo de ec. (5.90) en su tratamiento de campo medio, lo cual conduce a una transici�on de fase de primer orden en TD = 270 MeV. En nuestros c�alculos estamos considerando el modelo quark quiral con dos sabores Nf = 2, y para la masa desnuda de los quarks m^ 0 = diag(mu, md) consideramos el l�imite en que hay simetr�ia de isosp�in, mu = md  mq. En los tres modelos hemos tomado mq = 5,5 MeV, y a2s = 76,2 � 10-3 GeV2. La integracio�n en momentos est�a regulada por un cut-off PV = 828 MeV con regularizacio�n de Pauli-Villars. Este valor es el que se necesita para reproducir el valor experimental de la constante de desintegracio�n d�ebil del pio�n f = 93,2 MeV, con la masa constituyente M = 300 MeV. Para la tensi�on de la cuerda consideramos su valor a temperatura cero  = (425 MeV)2. Este para�metro aparece cuando se calculan funciones de correlacio�n de loops de Polyakov (por ejemplo, ec. (5.106)).
+El efecto neto de la integracio�n sobre el grupo de color SU(3) consiste en un desplazamiento de la temperatura de transici�on quiral a valores mayores, respecto a las tempera-

+turas que se obtienen en los tratamientos est�andar y de campo medio. Por tanto, el modelo basado en la integracio�n sobre el grupo de color proporciona un enfriamiento efectivo, no s�olo en el r�egimen de temperaturas pequen~as (ver secciones 5.4.3 y 5.6.4), sino tambi�en en el r�egimen de la transici�on de fase. Como se ve en fig. 5.3, el acoplamiento del modelo quark quiral con gluodin�amica modifica la transici�on de fase de primer orden de gluodina�mica en una transici�on de fase de segundo orden. Un estudio de la susceptibilidad de los para�metros de orden quiral qq y de desconfinamiento L, permite ver que con nuestro modelo ambas transiciones de fase (quiral y de desconfinamiento) se producen simult�aneamente: T = TD = 256(1) MeV; (ver fig. 5.4).
+En fig. 5.5 se compara el comportamiento del loop de Polyakov obtenido en nuestro modelo, con c�alculos en el ret�iculo para QCD unquenched (Nf = 2) en la zona de transici�on de fase. Estos datos se han calculado en un ret�iculo de taman~o 163 �4, con mq/T = 0,4 [22]. Se muestra asimismo el comportamiento del condensado quiral. Hemos comprobado que una dependencia en temperatura de la tensi�on de la cuerda  permite compatibilizar los resultados de nuestro modelo con los obtenidos en el ret�iculo. Esto conduce a un rango de incertidumbre en la tensi�on de la cuerda,  = 0,181 � 0,085 GeV2, que da cuenta en cierto sentido de la incertidumbre existente en el modelo. En fig. 5.5 la banda de error asociada a esta incertidumbre conduce a una temperatura de transici�on de T = TD = 255 � 50 MeV. Si se ignoraran en el modelo las correcciones glu�onicas dadas por ec. (5.90), no existir�ia un efecto apreciable por debajo de la transici�on de fase, si bien �esta aumentar�ia en 30 MeV, un valor que se encuentra dentro de nuestra estimacio�n del error.
+Con objeto de comprender el mecanismo de rotura de la simetr�ia del centro en nuestro modelo, podemos estudiar c�omo evoluciona la distribuci�on ^(), ec. (5.115), a trav�es de la transici�on de fase, y observar expl�icitamente los efectos generados por las contribuciones fermi�onicas e-Q[]. En fig. 5.6 se muestra esta evoluci�on.

+fase la funci�on de distribuci�on ^() presenta tres m�inimos en valores de  equidistantes, tal y como exige la simetr�ia del centro Z(3). En este caso el determinante fermi�onico no produce una modificacio�n importante. Cuando la transici�on de fase tiene lugar, aparece una concentraci�on interesante de �angulos en la regio�n cercana al origen  = 0, debida a los quarks, lo que genera una fuerte rotura de la simetr�ia del centro. A medida que la temperatura aumenta, la distribuci�on del loop de Polyakov tiende a ser ma�s picuda en torno a  = 0, y este pico domina la integral en . Notar que la distribucio�n ^G() en gluodin�amica no presenta rotura expl�icita de la simetr�ia del centro para ningu�n valor de T , de modo que el u�nico mecanismo posible en este caso es la rotura espont�anea.
+Nuestro modelo permite calcular el valor esperado del loop de Polyakov en otras representaciones. En fig. 5.7 se muestra el comportamiento del valor esperado del loop de Polyakov en representacio�n adjunta, trc /(Nc2 - 1). Para ello hemos hecho uso de la identidad (5.95) con n = 1. De acuerdo con los datos del ret�iculo obtenidos con el modelo matricial de ref. [94], el valor esperado se anula por debajo de la transici�on de fase. Notar que este hecho no se cumple en el tratamiento de campo medio, para el cual se obtiene el valor -1/(Nc2 - 1) (de ec. (5.95)). El considerar la integracio�n sobre el grupo conduce a unos resultados acordes con lo que se espera de los estudios en el ret�iculo. En fig. 5.7 se muestra tambi�en el comportamiento del loop de Polyakov en representacio�n fundamental, y la fluctuacio�n total del loop de Polyakov, que definimos como

+
+5.8. Conclusiones
+En este cap�itulo hemos estudiado c�omo la introduccio�n del loop de Polyakov permite resolver los problemas que presentan los modelos de quarks quirales a temperatura finita en su tratamiento est�andar. Con objeto de preservar la invariancia gauge expl�icita a temperatura finita es necesario mantener de un modo no perturbativo ciertos grados de libertad glu�onicos. En la pra�ctica, y en gauges particulares tales como el gauge de Polyakov, esto se corresponde con tratar la componente cero del campo del glu�on como un potencial qu�imico dependiente del color en el propagador del quark. Esto da lugar a una fuente de color que va a generar todos los estados posibles de quarks, los cuales pueden no ser singletes de color (incluso a bajas temperaturas, en la fase de confinamiento de color). Para evitar este problema, es necesario proyectar sobre los estados f�isicos que son singletes de color, lo cual se consigue de un modo elegante haciendo la integral funcional sobre el campo V0c de un modo que se preserve la invariancia gauge.
+De este an�alisis en la aproximaci�on quenched y a nivel de un loop de quarks, encontramos que existe una supresio�n de los efectos t�ermicos en los observables hadro�nicos por debajo de la transici�on de fase, que surge de la conservaci�on de la trialidad en una fase en que la simetr�ia quiral est�a espont�aneamente rota. A este efecto lo hemos denominado

+enfriamiento de Polyakov de las excitaciones de los quarks. En particular, la transici�on de fase quiral no puede ocurrir antes que la transici�on de desconfinamiento del color. En esta situacio�n, el mayor cambio a bajas temperaturas en los observables tales como el condensado de quarks debe de provenir de los loops de pseudoescalares, y quiza�s a temperaturas intermedias de resonancias meso�nicas de orden mayor. Esto es precisamente lo que se espera de TPQ o de las aproximaciones unitarias con inclusi�on efectiva de estos loops en las resonancias.
+Nuestros argumentos muestran tambi�en c�omo, debido al enfriamiento de Polyakov, los modelos de quarks quirales se muestran de acuerdo con las suposiciones teo�ricas de TQP a temperatura finita. Para ver c�omo se materializa esto en la pra�ctica hemos calculado el lagrangiano quiral a temperatura finita a nivel de un loop de quarks y a nivel a�rbol para los mesones. El lagrangiano resultante se puede descomponer en una parte con la misma estructura que a temperatura cero, pero con constantes de baja energ�ia dependientes de la temperatura, y otra parte con nuevos t�erminos que rompen la invariancia Lorentz, que surgen como consecuencia de que el ban~o t�ermico est�a en reposo. En cualquier caso, los efectos t�ermicos en las constantes de baja energ�ia a este nivel de aproximaci�on muestran el enfriamiento de Polyakov. En otras palabras, por debajo de la transici�on de fase cualquier dependencia en temperatura sobre las constantes de baja energ�ia a nivel a�rbol puede ser despreciada. E�sta es precisamente la suposici�on inicial de TQP.
+En el cap�itulo hemos analizado algunas consecuencias que se obtienen al considerar el tratamiento de los modelos de quarks quirales acoplados con el loop de Polyakov, ma�s all�a de un loop de quarks. Como consecuencia de la integracio�n en el grupo gauge de color SU(Nc), encontramos que para observables que contienen quarks las contribuciones ma�s importantes a temperaturas pequen~as proceden de loops meso�nicos, con una supresio�n

+determinante de quarks en el c�alculo de observables como el condensado quiral y el va-
+
+lor esperado del loop de Polyakov, y se ha hecho asimismo un tratamiento preliminar de
+
+las correcciones locales en el loop de Polyakov. Este determinante conduce a una rotura expl�icita de la simetr�ia del centro, que es ma�s acentuada a temperaturas grandes. E�ste es el
+
+mecanismo por el cual el modelo quark acoplado con loop de Polyakov genera la transici�on
+
+de fase de desconfinamiento. Un an�alisis de los resultados muestra que ambas transiciones
+
+de fase (quiral y de desconfinamiento) se producen simult�aneamente. En el tratamiento

+unquenched el enfriamiento de Polyakov persiste, aunque es menos efectivo que en el caso

+quenched. El c�alculo del valor esperado del loop de Polyakov en representacio�n adjunta es

+Tensor Energ�ia-Impulso de Modelos de Quarks Quirales a bajas energ�ias
+El tensor energ�ia-impulso (TEI) juega un papel muy importante en teor�ia cua�ntica de campos, pues surge como una corriente de Noether del grupo de Poincar�e. Es conservado en todas las teor�ias locales relativistas, incluso cuando no existen otras cargas conservadas. En QCD, el TEI da cuenta de la interaccio�n de los quarks y gluones con los gravitones.
+Desde un punto de vista fenomenol�ogico, las colisiones profundamente inela�sticas proporcionan informaci�on relevante sobre la fracci�on de momento que llevan los quarks y los gluones dentro de un hadr�on a una escala dada [116]. Las determinaciones basadas en el intercambio de un gravito�n est�an fuera de lugar debido a que la constante de gravitacio�n resulta pequen~�isima en comparaci�on con los procesos d�ebiles y fuertes. El factor de forma gravitacional del pio�n se puede usar para determinar la anchura de desintegracio�n de un boso�n de Higgs ligero en dos piones [117]. En el pasado hubo algunos intentos de calcular el TEI en el ret�iculo [118], pero no se han encontrado resultados de inter�es pra�ctico para los elementos de matriz entre estados hadr�onicos con momentos diferentes.
+En este cap�itulo vamos a estudiar la estructura del TEI en varios modelos de quarks quirales.1 En concreto trataremos el Modelo Quark Constituyente, el Modelo de Nambu� Jona-Lasinio (NJL) [29] y el Modelo de Georgi-Manohar (GM) [120]. El cap�itulo est�a basado en la referencia [109].
+6.1. Tensor Energ�ia-Impulso
+El tensor energ�ia-impulso en cualquier teor�ia se puede calcular an~adiendo una m�etrica externa g�(x) que se acople con los campos de materia de un modo completamente covariante. El TEI se obtiene de calcular la derivada funcional de la accio�n con respecto a

+
+A nivel cua�ntico el comportamiento a alta energ�ia de � se puede mejorar si se reali-
+zan ciertas correcciones transversales convenientemente elegidas. Al hacer esto se pone de manifiesto una anomal�ia de la traza que relaciona �� con la divergencia de la corriente de dilataci�on, lo cual sen~ala la rotura an�omala de la invariancia de escala. Un valor esperado diferente de cero para 0|��|0 est�a relacionado con la existencia de un condensado gluo�nico, que genera identidades de Ward de escala [121].

Las contribuciones m�etricas se pueden obtener directamente del c�alculo del lagrangiano quiral efectivo en espatio-tiempo plano. Sin embargo, los t�erminos con L11-L13 son contribuciones genuinas de curvatura, pues no se pueden obtener del caso plano. Estos coeficientes de baja energ�ia surgen a nivel hadr�onico debido a efectos cua�nticos.

+6.2. Acoplamiento de un Modelo Quark con Gravedad
+El acoplamiento de fermiones con gravedad es bien conocido [123], pero no en el contexto de modelos de quarks quirales. En esta secci�on haremos un estudio de este acoplamiento, de modo que no se introduzcan nuevos campos aparte de los del caso plano y la m�etrica. Usaremos el formalismo de t�etradas para espacio-tiempo curvo.3

+
+Los tensores de Lorentz son invariantes bajo transformaciones de coordenadas x�  x�. Para un tensor general, por ejemplo TA, los �indices griegos se transforman de manera covariante bajo transformaciones de coordenadas mientras que los latinos lo hacen bajo

+En esta secci�on aprovecharemos los resultados obtenidos en sec. 6.2 y estudiaremos el acoplamiento con gravedad de dos modelos quirales concretos, que tienen en comu�n la incorporacio�n de la rotura din�amica de la simetr�ia quiral a nivel de un loop: el modelo de Nambu�Jona-Lasinio (NJL) y el modelo de Georgi-Manohar.
+En estos modelos, los quarks tienen una masa constituyente M  300 MeV. La principal diferencia entre ellos tiene que ver con la presencia o no de campos escalares dina�micos qq, respectivamente. Adema�s, mientras que el modelo NJL genera de manera dina�mica la rotura espont�anea de la simetr�ia quiral, el modelo GM comienza de por s�i en una fase de rotura de la simetr�ia quiral.

Haciendo uso del procedimiento est�andar de bosonizaci�on [102], como se vio en sec. 5.2.1, se introducen campos boso�nicos din�amicos internos auxiliares (S, P, V, A), de modo que despu�es de integrar formalmente los quarks se obtiene el funcional generador

+Para que la integral funcional en los campos boso�nicos est�e bien definida en espacio de

+
+6.4. C�alculo de la accio�n efectiva
+
+En un desarrollo quiral de la accio�n, la m�etrica dependiente del espacio-tiempo es de orden cero y la derivada � de orden uno. Esto implica en particular que R�, R�, y R son de orden 2. A nivel de un loop de quarks el desarrollo quiral se corresponde con un desarrollo en derivadas que debe de ser invariante bajo transformaciones gauge, de coordenadas y de Lorentz. Este desarrollo a baja energ�ia se puede obtener haciendo uso de la representacio�n de tiempo propio del logaritmo

+

+
+D5D + 2i
+
+= -Tr
+
+ d e-iD5D( ) , 0
+
+(6.66)
+
+donde ( ) = i cie-2i . El operador que est�a dentro del logaritmo es de tipo KleinGordon en espacio-tiempo curvo, y presenta cierta estructura espinorial, como se ve en
+ec. (6.51). La forma de este operador es la adecuada para hacer un desarrollo del heat
+kernel en espacio-tiempo curvo. Para el elemento de matriz diagonal se tiene
+
+x|e-i D5 D|x
+
+=
+
+e-i M2 x|e-i (D5D-M2)|x

Las contribuciones pueden separarse entre aquellas que son de espacio-tiempo plano, y las correspondientes a curvatura generadas por efectos cua�nticos. Por el momento nos centraremos en el modelo NJL. Posteriormente particularizaremos las fo�rmulas para el modelo GM. Se obtiene lo siguiente [108]

(6.75) no est�a au�n lista para poder ser comparada con el resultado de [27, 122]. Para ello antes debemos eliminar todos los grados de libertad diferentes a los piones en la capa de masas. Procederemos en tres pasos: primero integraremos los grados de libertad vector y axial, despu�es eliminaremos los campos escalares y finalmente haremos uso de las ecuaciones cl�asicas de movimiento para los pseudoescalares. En el modelo de Georgi-Manohar u�nicamente ser�a necesario considerar el u�ltimo paso.

+
+En el modelo NJL, para eliminar los campos vector V� y axial A� en la aproximaci�on de campo medio es necesario minimizar el lagrangiano con respecto a esos campos. Al orden que estamos considerando el desarrollo quiral, ser�a suficiente con tener en cuenta aquellos t�erminos del lagrangiano que contienen mesones vectoriales con dos �indices de Lorentz, esto es, el t�ermino de masa y el orden dos que surge del determinante de los quarks

+Los t�erminos de curvatura son un reflejo de la naturaleza compuesta de los campos pseudoescalares, pues en los modelos quirales que estamos considerando estos t�erminos se corresponden con el acoplamiento de los campos gravitatorios externos a nivel de quarks. Un valor no nulo de H0 indica que existe una renormalizaci�on fuerte finita de la constante gravitatoria de Newton G, ya que el lagrangiano cl�asico de Einstein es L = -R/(16G).
+Notar que la matriz pseudoescalar U es un escalar bajo transformaciones de Lorentz y de coordenadas. Por tanto, despu�es (y s�olo despu�es) de haber aplicado las identidades (6.88)-(6.91) se puede sustituir la derivada covariante en Lorentz y coordenadas por la

+Este modelo reproduce la relacio�n L3 = -6L1, siempre y cuando se desprecien los t�erminos O(NcgA4 ). Existen algunas diferencias con trabajos previos. Los valores L1, L2, L3, L4, L5, L6, L9, L10, H1 y H2 coinciden con ref. [106]. L8 difiere en dos potencias de gA en el t�ermino proporcional a I2. (Nuestros resultados reproducen los suyos para cada contribucio�n por separado: contribucio�n del loop de quarks y contribucio�n de esp�in cero.)
+El valor de L7 es diferente de cero, si se considera la condicio�n Det(U) = 1 debido a que estamos considerando la simetr�ia de sabor SU(Nf ). Tanto en ref. [106] como en [107] este t�ermino no se obtiene, a pesar de que en estos trabajos se menciona expl�icitamente
+que consideran el grupo de sabor SU(Nf ). En el grupo U(Nf ) s�i se obtiene que L7 = 0. Nuestros valores de L4, L5, L6, L8, L9 y L10 coinciden con los de [107]. En esta referencia
+aparece un t�ermino err�oneo extra en L1. L3 se diferencia de ref. [107] en todos los factores excepto uno en I4. H1 y H2 no aparecen en esa referencia.
+Los coeficientes L11, L12 y L13, as�i como H0,3-5, son nuevos y constituyen el resultado principal de este cap�itulo. L11-13 fueron obtenidos tambi�en hace algu�n tiempo en un
+
+148 Cap�itulo 6: Tensor Energ�ia-Impulso de Modelos de Quarks Quirales a bajas energ�ias
+
+modelo quiral que incluye bosonizaci�on [125], y ma�s recientemente en el modelo quark espectral [108] (ver cap�itulo 7).
+Los valores num�ericos de estos coeficientes, ec. (6.106), aparecen en la tabla 6.1 para dos casos diferentes: el modelo NJL SU(3) generalizado, y el caso en que no se considera la integracio�n de los campos de esp�in 1, esto es gA = 1. Para el primer caso se considera como valor razonable gA = 0,606. Con M = 300 MeV, se tiene
+
+ = 1344 MeV , B0 = 4015 MeV , I-2 = 17,0 , I0 = 2,10 , I2 = 0,907 , I4 = 0,993 .
+
+(6.107)
+
+Para el modelo NJL con gA = 1, los valores num�ericos de , B0,  y I2n son id�enticos a los
+del modelo quark constituyente QC, ec. (6.101). Las LEC's en el modelo NJL con gA = 1 y en el QC se diferencian debido a la contribucio�n de los escalares LS3,5,8,11,13 y H2S,3, que no est�an presentes en el caso QC.
+
+6.6.3. Resultados
+
+En la tabla 6.1 aparecen los resultados que hemos obtenido para los modelos de quarks quirales que se han tratado en este cap�itulo: Quark Constituyente, Nambu�Jona-Lasinio con y sin mesones vectoriales, y Georgi-Manohar. Se ha incluido tambi�en el resultado del c�alculo en el modelo Quark Espectral del cap�itulo 7. La primera columna se corresponde con el c�alculo de TQP a dos loops [126]. Se incluye tambi�en el resultado obtenido en el modelo basado en Nc grande con saturacio�n por una u�nica resonancia [127].
+Los resultados para las constantes de baja energ�ia coinciden a grandes rasgos. Como regla, todos los modelos y ajustes dan el mismo signo para todos los coeficientes, con la excepci�on de H0 y H2 en el modelo Quark Espectral. Para los coeficientes de GasserLeutwyler est�andar L1-10 el mejor acuerdo global con el c�alculo de TQP a dos loops [126] es el proporcionado por el modelo NJL con mesones vectoriales, para el que la chi cuadrada reducida es 2/DOF = 2,2, (DOF = 10), si bien los modelos QC y GM proporcionan resultados de calidad similar: 2,5 y 3,6 respectivamente.
+Para los coeficientes nuevos no existen en la literatura valores ampliamente aceptados. El acuerdo ma�s cercano con las estimaciones de Nc grande y saturacio�n de resonancias de [122] para L11-13 es el de NJL sin mesones vectoriales, para el que 2/DOF = 0,29, pero esto no es totalmente concluyente. Asimismo, es importante mencionar el notable acuerdo entre las predicciones del modelo Quark Espectral para estos tres coeficientes y aquellas provenientes del modelo quiral de bosonizaci�on de ref. [125], para el que se obtiene
+
+L11 = 1,58 � 10-3 ,

+con y sin mesones vectoriales, y Georgi-Manohar. Algunas de estas constantes se obtienen directamente de los coeficientes est�andar de Gasser-Leutwyler, mientras que otras, L11-13 y H0,3-5, son nuevas y proceden de operadores que no est�an presentes en el lagrangiano quiral en espacio plano.
+T�ecnicamente, el mejor modo de proceder es considerar QCD en un espacio-tiempo curvo, ya que nos permite trabajar con el lagrangiano a bajas energ�ias, en lugar de su variaci�on (el tensor energ�ia-impulso). Esto hace ma�s f�acil tanto el c�alculo como la imposici�on de las restricciones debidas a las simetr�ias. El lagrangiano quiral en espacio-tiempo curvo contiene dos tipos de contribuciones. Por una parte, aquellas que surgen de un acoplamiento m�inimo del lagrangiano en espacio plano con la m�etrica, L(g), y por otra aquellas contribuciones que contienen el tensor de curvatura de Riemann L(R). En el esp�iritu de no

+150 Cap�itulo 6: Tensor Energ�ia-Impulso de Modelos de Quarks Quirales a bajas energ�ias
+introducir nuevos campos diferentes a la m�etrica, hemos considerado u�nicamente la gravedad de Einstein. En el caso de que se considerara torsi�on o violaci�on de la metricidad, en principio podr�ian aparecer nuevos t�erminos. Al igual que ocurre con los acoplamientos gauge (por ejemplo, los momentos magn�eticos), los t�erminos gravitatorios L(R) no pueden fijarse a partir de la covariancia general del lagrangiano quiral, y para obtenerlos es necesario acoplar directamente gravedad con los quarks y los gluones de QCD antes de integrar los campos y obtener el lagrangiano de bajas energ�ias.
+Hemos calculado en estos modelos de quarks quirales las constantes de baja energ�ia con un cierto grado de �exito, y hemos aplicado la misma aproximaci�on para los t�erminos con curvatura L(R). El acuerdo entre todos los modelos es razonable. Una comparaci�on con los valores de TQP a dos loops [126] sugiere que NJL con mesones vectoriales es el que mejor funciona para los coeficientes est�andar. Para los nuevos coeficientes L11-13, el mejor acuerdo proviene de NJL sin mesones vectoriales, si bien el resultado no es concluyente.

+Modelo Quark Espectral y Accio�n Efectiva Quiral
+La estructura de QCD a bajas energ�ias en presencia de fuentes electrod�ebiles y gravitacionales se describe muy bien mediante Teor�ia Quiral de Perturbaciones (TQP) [25, 27, 122]. En el sector meso�nico, la rotura espont�anea de la simetr�ia quiral es dominante a bajas energ�ias y el c�alculo sistem�atico de las correspondientes constantes de baja energ�ia (LEC's) ha sido llevado a cabo recientemente hasta una precisi�on de dos loops [126, 128] o mediante el uso de las ecuaciones de Roy [129]. Para los procesos fuertes y electrod�ebiles que involucran mesones pseudoescalares, la mayor parte de las LEC's est�an saturadas en t�erminos de resonancias de intercambio [127], que pueden ser justificadas en el l�imite de Nc grande en una cierta aproximaci�on de bajas energ�ias [130]. En el caso de procesos gravitacionales se pueden aplicar las mismas ideas [122]. Hoy en d�ia, TQP se usa como un test cualitativo y cuantitativo para cualquier modelo de la estructura de los hadrones a bajas energ�ias.
+En este cap�itulo nos proponemos analizar, en el contexto de TQP con espacio-tiempo curvo, el modelo quark espectral propuesto recientemente en ref. [101]. En primer lugar se mostrara� c�omo calcular la accio�n efectiva de este modelo a un loop de quarks, y algunas de sus propiedades. Posteriormente se hara� un estudio de la parte an�omala de la accio�n efectiva, con la obtenci�on del t�ermino est�andar de Wess-Zumino-Witten. Se vera� que la anomal�ia que se obtiene con este modelo coincide con la anomal�ia de QCD. Se aplicara� el formalismo desarrollado en el cap�itulo 6 para el c�alculo de la contribucio�n no an�omala de la accio�n efectiva, y se obtendr�an las expresiones correspondientes para los coeficientes de baja energ�ia (LEC). Con el fin de considerar una realizacio�n expl�icita del modelo espectral, se considerar�a �este dentro de un esquema de dominancia del meso�n vectorial, lo cual permitira� encontrar valores concretos para las LEC's y comparar con resultados de otros modelos presentados en el cap�itulo 6. Finalmente se comparara�n las predicciones del modelo espectral para estas constantes con las obtenidas en la aproximaci�on de una u�nica resonancia (SRA) en el l�imite de Nc grande [122, 130], lo cual conducira� a unas relaciones de dualidad entre los canales vector y escalar.

+Cap�itulo 7: Modelo Quark Espectral y Accio�n Efectiva Quiral
+
+7.1. Accio�n Efectiva del Modelo Quark Espectral
+
+En la secci�on 5.2.2 introdujimos el modelo quark espectral. La aproximaci�on es similar en esp�iritu al modelo de Efimov e Ivanov [131], propuesto hace algunos an~os, y se basa en la introduccio�n formal de la representacio�n de Lehmann generalizada para el propagador del quark. La accio�n efectiva que obedece las identidades de Ward-Takahashi mediante la t�ecnica de Delbourgo y West [103] corresponde en nuestro caso a una prescripcio�n de sustitucio�n m�inima. Esto conduce a un determinante fermi�onico de la forma1
+
+SQM[U, s, p, v, a, g] = -iNc d()Tr log (iD) ,
+C
+donde el operador de Dirac viene dado por
+
+(7.2)
+
+iD = id/ - U 5 - m^ 0 + (v/ + a/5 - s - i5p) = iD - U 5 .
+
+(7.3)
+
+Estamos trabajando en espacio-tiempo curvo de Minkowski. La derivada d� es derivada covariante bajo transformaciones generales de coordenadas y transformaciones de Lorentz,
+e incluye la conexio�n de esp�in. El tensor m�etrico g� es la fuente externa que representa el acoplamiento con un campo gravitatorio. La matriz U5 = U5 es la matriz de sabor
+que representa el octete de mesones pseudoescalares en la representacio�n no lineal. Este operador de Dirac transforma de manera covariante bajo transformaciones quirales locales.2
+En lo sucesivo consideraremos el modelo con Nf = 3. Si se considera la matriz U en el sector U(3) de sabor, la anomal�ia U(1)A se puede tener
+en cuenta an~adiendo el t�ermino habitual [26]

+La accio�n efectiva del modelo tiene un aspecto similar a la del modelo NJL bosonizado (ver secci�on 6.3). La principal diferencia tiene que ver con la interpretacio�n del m�etodo de regularizacio�n. Por una parte, en los modelos NJL u�nicamente se puede regularizar sobre loops de quarks (l�ineas de quark cerradas). El hecho de que en el modelo quark espectral la "regularizacio�n" de Lehmann se produzca sobre l�ineas de quark abiertas tiene importantes consecuencias en cuanto a la consistencia de los c�alculos a energ�ias altas tanto en una interpretacio�n puramente hadr�onica como part�onica.

+

+
+Dado que el contorno de integracio�n para la variable espectral  es en general complejo, resulta complicado pasar a espacio eucl�ideo y separar la accio�n en una parte real y otra imaginaria. En lugar de espacio eucl�ideo, podemos considerar el espacio de Minkowski e introducir, como hicimos en sec. 6.2.2, el operador auxiliar
+
+- iD5 = 5 id/ - U 5 - m^ 0 + v/ - 5a/ - s + i5p 5 .

+7.2. Anomal�ias Quirales
+Una de las ventajas ma�s importantes de la regularizacio�n espectral es que conduce a observables hadr�onicos finitos e independientes de la escala, lo cual es un requerimiento b�asico de todo procedimiento de regularizacio�n. No obstante, esto no significa o implica necesariamente que la accio�n efectiva total en presencia de campos externos sea finita, ya que incluso en el caso de que los campos pio�nicos sean cero, U = 1, existen procesos no hadr�onicos. En realidad, ocurre que la renormalizaci�on de la funci�on de onda del foto�n es proporcional a 0 [101], de modo que depende de la escala � y por tanto diverge en ciertos esquemas de regularizacio�n (por ejemplo, en regularizacio�n dimensional). Esta dependencia en escala surge tambi�en en otros t�erminos no hadr�onicos de la accio�n efectiva.
+En [101] se encuentra que las desintegraciones 0  2 y   3 se muestran de acuerdo con los valores correctos que se esperan de la anomal�ia quiral de QCD. Con ayuda de la accio�n efectiva, ec. (7.2), vamos a ver en esta secci�on que esto es cierto tambi�en para todos los procesos an�omalos. En primer lugar calcularemos la anomal�ia quiral, y mostraremos que en presencia de campos externos la anomal�ia no depende del campo pio�nico U, y por tanto coincide con la anomal�ia en QCD debido a las condiciones espectrales 1 = 2 = 3 = 4 = 0. Despu�es veremos c�omo surge en este contexto el t�ermino est�andar de Wess-Zumino-Witten [132, 133].
+
+7.2.1. C�alculo de la anomal�ia quiral
+Bajo transformaciones quirales locales (vector y axial) el operador de Dirac se transforma
+
+D  e+iV (x)-iA(x)5 D e-iV , (x)-iA(x)5
+
+(7.7)
+
+con
+
+V (x) = aV (x)a ,

+
+A(x) = aA(x)a .
+a
+
+(7.8)
+
+154
+
+Cap�itulo 7: Modelo Quark Espectral y Accio�n Efectiva Quiral
+
+Infinitesimalmente, la transformaci�on es
+
+D = i[V , D] - i{A5, D} .
+
+(7.9)
+
+Si consideramos una transformaci�on quiral en la accio�n efectiva, ec. (7.2), sin ninguna regularizacio�n adicional, se tiene
+
+S = -iNcTr d() DD-1 .
+C
+
+(7.10)
+
+Teniendo en cuenta la propiedad c�iclica de la traza, se obtiene s�olo una contribucio�n procedente de la variaci�on axial
+
+AS  AA = d4x tr d() 2iA5 = 0 d4x tr 2iA5 ,
+C
+
+(7.11)
+
+un resultado que es ambiguo incluso en presencia de regularizacio�n espectral, debido a la traza dimensional infinita [38]. Para evitar la ambigu�edad es necesario introducir una regularizacio�n extra. Como es bien sabido, no existe una regularizacio�n que preserve la simetr�ia quiral, de modo que la anomal�ia es generada.
+El c�alculo se puede hacer con m�etodos est�andares. Una regularizacio�n conveniente es la regularizacio�n  [134], que permite calcular directamente la anomal�ia a partir del propio operador de Dirac (no su cuadrado), y no precisa de ninguna redefinici�on de la matriz 5. Esto conduce a
+
+AS  AA = Tr d() 2iA5 [iD]0
+C
+
+= d4x tr d() 2iA(x)5 x|D0|x ,
+C
+
+(7.12)

+donde la potencia cero del operador de Dirac se entiende como una continuaci�on anal�itica que puede escribirse en t�erminos de coeficientes de Seeley-DeWitt para operadores de Dirac [134]:

+

+
+en  viene dada por iD = iD - U5, el resultado se puede escribir como la suma de un
+
+t�ermino independiente de  ma�s un polinomio en 
+

+
+7.2 Anomal�ias Quirales
+
+155
+
+donde el t�ermino polino�mico dependiente de  se anula, por las condiciones espectrales (los momentos positivos son cero). Esto muestra que la anomal�ia del modelo quark espectral coincide con la anomal�ia de QCD despu�es de introducir una regularizacio�n adicional conveniente, independientemente de los detalles de la funci�on espectral. Esto es un punto importante, ya que si la accio�n efectiva [U, s, p, v, a] en ec. (7.2) fuera finita e invariante quiral, aparentemente no habr�ia razo�n para la existencia de anomal�ias.
+
+7.2.2. T�ermino de Wess-Zumino-Witten
+
+Mostraremos aqu�i d�onde y c�omo surgen estas divergencias. Por simplicidad, consideremos el l�imite quiral m^ 0 = 0, los campos externos los haremos cero y trabajaremos en espacio-tiempo plano, de modo que iD = i/. Conseguiremos una representacio�n conveniente si introducimos el campo
+
+
+Ut5 = eit , 25/f
+
+(7.15)
+
+que permite interpolar entre el vac�io Ut5=0 = 1, y la matriz completa Ut5=1 = U 5. Podemos escribir la siguiente identidad trivial para la accio�n efectiva con sustracci�on del vac�io:

+el t�ermino de WZW en la forma de Bardeen. En realidad, la diferencia SQM[U, s, p, v, a] - SQM[1, s, p, v, a] es finita y preserva invariancia gauge, pero rompe la simetr�ia quiral lo cual genera la anomal�ia de ec. (7.14).

+4Hacemos uso de las relaciones dadas en ref. [27] para pasar de la forma del lagrangiano quiral en SU(3) a la forma en SU(2). Estas relaciones son �l1 = 1922(2L1 + L3), �l2 = 1922L2, �l3 = 2562(2L4 + L5 - 4L6 - 2L8), �l4 = 642(2L4 + L5), �l5 = -1922L10, �l6 = 1922L9, �l11 = 1922L11 , �l13 = 2562l13.

+
+independientemente de la realizacio�n particular del modelo espectral. Si saturamos los factores de forma con mesones escalares y tensoriales f0 y f2, para sus masas se tiene
+
+Mf0 = Mf2 = 4f 3/Nc = 1105 - 1168 MeV ,
+
+(7.42)
+
+dependiendo de si se toma f = 88 o 93 MeV, respectivamente. El valor experimental para el meso�n tensorial ma�s ligero es Mfe2xp = 1270 MeV. Tal y como se discute en [122], el factor de forma 0 (correspondiente a la traza del tensor energ�ia-impulso) se acopla con mesones escalares, mientras que 2 (correspondiente a la parte de � sin traza) se acopla con mesones tensoriales (esp�in-2).
+Hay que decir que el meso�n escalar de masa Mf0, que domina el tensor energ�ia-impulso, no necesariamente coincide con el meso�n escalar de masa MS, que domina el factor de forma escalar. En realidad se tiene Mf0 = 2MV , mientras que MS es una magnitud libre. Esto surge de manera natural en la aproximaci�on espectral, donde el factor de forma escalar FS en el l�imite quiral involucra los momentos impares, mientras que 0 involucra los pares. En particular, los radios cuadr�aticos medios son proporcionales a 1 y 0, respectivamente.
+
+7.5. L�imite de Nc grande y Dualidad
+
+En virtud del hecho de que nuestro resultado se ha obtenido en la aproximaci�on de un loop de quarks,5 no podemos esperar que el modelo d�e mejores resultados para las LEC's que la contribucio�n de orden ma�s bajo en un contaje en Nc, el cual est�a formado por un nu�mero infinito de intercambios de resonancias [130]. Por otra parte, el c�alculo de estas contribuciones en Nc grande requiere el uso de suposiciones adicionales, tales como la convergencia de una serie infinita de estados y, por otra parte, una estimacio�n de las contribuciones de las resonancias ma�s altas. En la pra�ctica, se puede trabajar en la aproximaci�on de una u�nica resonancia (SRA), lo cual conduce a una reduccio�n de los para�metros [122, 130]:

+de los mesones pseudoescalares y axiales con objeto de reproducir las reglas de suma qui-
+rales para las funciones de correlacio�n de dos puntos VV-AA y SS-PP, adema�s de exigir un comportamiento convergente a altas energ�ias para los factores de forma hadro�nicos.6 Obviamente, el imponer ma�s ligaduras a cortas distancias implica el uso de ma�s resonancias.
+Los valores de L11,12,13 se han obtenido del intercambio de una u�nica resonancia escalar y tensorial [122]. Por una parte, es necesario considerar un meso�n tensorial con objeto de
+proporcionar un valor no nulo para L12, y por otra parte, los mesones tensoriales contribuyen tambi�en a otras LEC's [137], lo cual no est�a tenido en cuenta en ecs. (7.43)-(7.47). Por tanto, con objeto de simplificar la discusio�n, en lo que sigue nos restringiremos a los
+acoplamientos no gravitacionales L1 -L10. Notar que, si bien el poder predictivo es grande, se consigue en t�erminos de dos razones adimensionales f/MV y f/MS. Obviamente, en el l�imite quiral se espera que tanto MV como MS escalen como f. Por tanto, con objeto de preservar las reglas de contaje en Nc grande, se deber�ia tener que
+
+MV = cV f/ Nc , MS = cSf/ Nc ,
+
+(7.48)
+
+donde cV y cS son coeficientes independientes de Nc. El hecho sorprendente es que en el
+modelo quark espectral, las constantes de baja energ�ia dependen de las razonas adimensionales 1/B0 y 2/B02. En vista de esto, resulta tentador calcular los momentos logar�itmicos espectrales a partir de las reglas de Nc grande, de un modo que sea modelo-independiente.
+En primer lugar vemos que las razones L1 : L2 : L9 en el modelo quark espectral coinciden con las de SRA. Los valores de L5 y L8 pueden ser usados para determinar 1 y 2 respectivamente, de modo que se tiene

+
+lo cual est�a de acuerdo con ecs. (7.34) y (7.26). Esto no es sorprendente, pues la f�isica
+
+de SRA y del modelo quark espectral en su versio�n MDM es similar. La u�nica diferencia
+
+es que de ecs. (7.49)-(7.50) no se puede deducir el valor de la masa constituyente de los
+
+quarks MQ = M(0), que viene dada por el cociente MQ = -1/-2 (ecs. (5.35)-(5.36)). Para determinar MQ ser�ia necesario calcular los t�erminos de O(p6) en el lagrangiano quiral
+
+y comparar con SRA en el l�imite Nc grande.
+
+Por otra parte, no es posible hacer compatibles L8 o L10. El desacuerdo con los corres-
+
+pondientes valores en Nc grande se debe a que el modelo espectral viola la regla de suma
+
+SS-PP y la segunda regla de Weinberg VV-AA. Esta violaci�on tambi�en ocurre en otros
+
+modelos de quarks [138, 139] (no ocurre en los modelos no locales; ver [140, 141]). En
+
+efecto, en el modelo no existe intercambio de meso�n axial en L10 (1/4 de la contribucio�n
+
+total) ni de meso�n pseudoescalar en L8 (1/4 de la contribucio�n total). Por otra parte, para el valor de f que se obtiene de ec. (7.26), las constantes L1, L2, L4, L5, L6, L9

+reproducen las identidades en Nc grande que aparecen en [127]. Este acuerdo se puede ver en la tabla 6.1 si se considera un factor de correcci�on 242f2/NcMV2 = 1,15. Se podr�ia forzar que L3 coincidiera con la estimacio�n de Nc grande tomando MV = MS. Esto concuerda con la observaci�on en la aproximaci�on unitaria quiral de ref. [142], de que en el l�imite de Nc grande, los mesones escalar y vector son degenerados.7 Por tanto, el intentar compatibilizar
+el l�imite de Nc grande en la SRA con el modelo quark espectral produce una degeneraci�on de los mesones escalar y vector. Esta degeneraci�on fue sugerida en [143] en el contexto de
+reglas de suma superconvergentes y han sido interpretadas ma�s recientemente en base a
+simetr�ias que se restablecen [144].
+Parece claro que cualquier modificacio�n en el modelo quark espectral afectara� u�nicamen-
+te a L8 y L10. Si se considera MS = MV = 2f 6/Nc para Nc grande en la aproximaci�on SRA, se obtienen las siguientes relaciones de dualidad

+
+Los coeficientes �l son ma�s susceptibles de poder compararse con TQP ya que los loops quirales generan un cambio constante c = log(�2/m2), que es el mismo para todos ellos.
+Por tanto, tiene sentido comparar diferencias donde los logaritmos se cancelan.

+
+(7.57)
+
+El acuerdo es excelente dentro de las incertidumbres, y esto sugiere una precisio�n del orden de 1/Nc2 en lugar de la que cabr�ia esperar a priori 1/Nc.
+El cambio constante de los loops pio�nicos se produce con una escala � = 513�200 MeV,
+lo cual es comparable con la masa del meso�n . Considerando las ecs. (7.43)-(7.45) corres-
+pondientes a SRA, con los valores f�isicos f = 93,2 MeV, MS = 1000 MeV y MV = 770 MeV, tal y como se hace en [130], se tiene
+
+�l2 - �l1 = 8,3 , �l3 - �l1 = 6,2 , �l4 - �l1 = 6,2 , �l5 - �l1 = 15,2 , �l6 - �l1 = 18,7 . (7.58)
+
+Se podr�ian obtener unos valores ma�s razonables considerando MS = 600 MeV, pero entonces la relacio�n SRA, MP = 2MS, predicir�ia un valor demasiado pequen~o para la masa del estado pio�nico excitado.
+Esta discusio�n favorece fenomenol�ogicamente las relaciones de dualidad ec. (7.51) frente a las relaciones de SRA, ecs. (7.43)-(7.45), con para�metros f�isicos.
+
+7.6. Conclusiones
+En este cap�itulo se ha estudiado el desarrollo quiral en el modelo quark espectral propuesto recientemente, en presencia de fuerzas externas electrod�ebiles y gravitatorias. El modelo est�a basado en una representacio�n de Lehmann para el propagador del quark con una funci�on espectral no convencional, que es en general una funci�on compleja con cortes de rama. Se ha escrito la accio�n efectiva que reproduce las identidades de Ward-Takahashi, y gracias a una serie infinita de condiciones espectrales hemos obtenido la contribucio�n an�omala quiral a la accio�n. Esta contribucio�n aparece convenientemente normalizada sin necesidad de eliminar la regularizacio�n. Adema�s, la contribucio�n no an�omala se puede escribir en t�erminos de 13 constantes de baja energ�ia. Los valores num�ericos muestran un acuerdo razonable con los esperados fenomenol�ogicamente, si bien existen algunas discrepancias para L8 y L10. E�stas se podr�ian explicar de manera natural como fallos del modelo a la hora de reproducir las condiciones quirales a cortas distancias, y sugiere que �este necesita ser mejorado. Por otra parte, si se intenta comparar las LEC's no-gravitacionales restantes con las predicciones de Nc grande en la aproximaci�on de una u�nica resonancia, tiene lugar
+
+7.6 Conclusiones
+
+165
+
+una nueva reduccio�n de para�metros. En particular, el mejor acuerdo se encuentra para el
+caso de mesones escalar y vector degenerados.
+Se han estimado las LEC's gravitatorias L11, L12 y L13 en el contexto de los modelos de quarks quirales. Estas constantes dependen de las propiedades de curvatura de la m�etrica
+en espacio-tiempo curvo. Este c�alculo permite la determinacio�n de algunos elementos de
+matriz del tensor energ�ia-impulso. Nuestro an�alisis sugiere que el acoplamiento del meso�n
+escalar con el condensado de quarks m0qq, y el meso�n escalar acoplado con la traza del tensor energ�ia-impulso ��, no coinciden necesariamente. Estos dos operadores se comportan de manera diferente bajo simetr�ia quiral, ya que m0qq se anula en el l�imite quiral mientras que �� no lo hace. Esto se materializa en el modelo quark espectral en el hecho de que estos dos mesones escalares dependen de momentos espectrales impares y pares, respectivamente. Por otra parte, se obtiene Mf0 = Mf2 = 2MV = 2MS = 4 3/Ncf, que constituye un resultado muy razonable si tenemos en cuenta la aproximaci�on de un loop de quarks en que
+estamos trabajando. Se han discutido otras relaciones de dualidad quark-mes�on, lo cual ha
+permitido una determinacio�n bastante precisa de las LEC's ya conocidas, y se muestran
+de acuerdo con los valores conocidos a dos loops dentro de los errores experimentales.

+Conclusiones
+8.1. Resumen y Conclusiones
+En esta tesis se ha hecho un estudio detallado de algunos efectos de temperatura y de curvatura en QCD y en algunos modelos de quarks quirales. Las conclusiones y logros ma�s significativos de este trabajo han sido los siguientes:
+Se ha construido un desarrollo del heat kernel invariante gauge orden por orden a temperatura finita, dentro del formalismo de tiempo imaginario, para espacio-tiempo plano. Se ha considerado un tratamiento general va�lido en cualquier gauge, y en presencia de campos escalares que pueden ser no abelianos y no est�aticos. Para preservar la invariancia gauge a temperatura finita se ha hecho uso del loop de Polyakov, y se ha llegado hasta orden 6 en un contaje en dimensiones de masa.
+Se ha aplicado el desarrollo del heat kernel para el c�alculo de la accio�n efectiva de QCD a un loop, incluyendo fermiones sin masa, en la regio�n de temperaturas grandes. Se ha considerado un loop de Polyakov no est�atico. Se ha estudiado la invariancia gauge del resultado, y en concreto la rotura expl�icita de la simetr�ia del centro por efecto de los fermiones.
+Se ha obtenido la accio�n de la teor�ia efectiva dimensionalmente reducida de QCD, va�lida en el r�egimen de temperaturas grandes. Esto ha permitido obtener nuevos t�erminos de orden 6 no calculados en la literatura, tanto en el sector fermi�onico como en el glu�onico.
+Se ha propuesto un modelo fenomenol�ogico que permite describir con gran �exito los datos del ret�iculo tanto para el loop de Polyakov renormalizado como para la energ�ia libre de un quark pesado, en el r�egimen de temperaturas inmediatamente por encima de la transici�on de fase. Este modelo da cuenta de contribuciones no perturbativas provenientes de condensados glu�onicos, y se ha obtenido una predicci�on para el valor del condensado glu�onico de dimensi�on 2 en el r�egimen de temperaturas considerado,

+
+Tc  T  6Tc. El resultado se muestra de acuerdo con otras predicciones existentes tanto a temperatura cero como a temperatura finita.
+Se ha estudiado la analog�ia existente entre el loop de Polyakov y el potencial quarkantiquark a temperatura cero. Esto ha permitido encontrar una relacio�n entre el condensado glu�onico de dimensi�on 2 y la tensi�on de la cuerda.
+Se ha introducido el loop de Polyakov de color en los modelos de quarks quirales a nivel de un loop de quarks, siguiendo un esquema de acoplamiento m�inimo, y hemos visto que esto permite resolver algunas inconsistencias que presentaban estos modelos en su tratamiento est�andar a temperatura finita. En concreto, la integracio�n sobre el grupo gauge da lugar a una conservaci�on de trialidad, y el contaje en Nc se muestra de acuerdo con las predicciones de Teor�ia Quiral de Perturbaciones.
+Se ha calculado el lagrangiano efectivo quiral a temperatura finita de los modelos Nambu�Jona-Lasinio y Quark Espectral a nivel de un loop de quarks y a nivel a�rbol para los mesones, en la aproximaci�on quenched, y se ha obtenido una predicci�on para las constantes de baja energ�ia de Teor�ia Quiral de Perturbaciones.
+Se han analizado algunas correcciones de orden mayor para los modelos de quarks quirales acoplados con el loop de Polyakov. En concreto correcciones gluo�nicas, locales, y las provenientes de ir ma�s all�a de un loop de quarks. Se ha encontrado que los efectos t�ermicos est�an exponencialmente suprimidos a temperaturas pequen~as, y vienen dominados por loops meso�nicos. Adema�s, se ha analizado la influencia del determinante fermi�onico sobre algunos observables como el condensado de quarks y el valor esperado del loop de Polyakov, y se han estudiado sus implicaciones sobre las transiciones de fase quiral y de desconfinamiento de color.
+Se ha estudiado el acoplamiento de los modelos de quarks quirales con gravedad, y se ha analizado la correspondiente estructura del tensor energ�ia-impulso a bajas energ�ias para cuatro modelos concretos: Quark Constituyente, Georgi-Manohar, Nambu�Jona-Lasinio y Quark Espectral. Se ha obtenido una predicci�on para los coeficientes de baja energ�ia correspondientes a los t�erminos no m�etricos con contribuciones de curvatura.
+Se ha obtenido la contribucio�n an�omala quiral a la accio�n efectiva en el modelo quark espectral. Despu�es de introducir una regularizacio�n conveniente, el resultado no depende de los detalles de la funci�on espectral, de modo que coincide con la anomal�ia de QCD.
+Se han comparado los resultados del modelo quark espectral para las constantes quirales de baja energ�ia, con las predicciones de Nc grande en la aproximaci�on de una u�nica resonancia. El mejor acuerdo se encuentra para el caso de mesones escalar y vector degenerados, dando lugar a unas relaciones de dualidad quark-mes�on, que han permitido una determinacio�n precisa de las constantes de baja energ�ia conocidas.

+Ap�endice A Transformaciones Gauge
+
+En este ap�endice explicaremos qu�e se entiende por transformaci�on gauge y discutiremos ciertas propiedades que cumple una transformaci�on gauge a temperatura finita. Estudiaremos la rotura de la simetr�ia del centro del grupo gauge al considerar una teor�ia con fermiones. Vamos a seguir en parte la referencia [147].
+
+A.1. Definiciones
+
+Consideremos un operador f (M, D�) construido con M y D� en sentido algebraico. Una configuraci�on gauge transformada (MU , AU� ) es una de la forma
+
+M U (x) = U -1(x)M (x)U (x) , AU� (x) = U -1(x)�U (x) + U -1(x)A�(x)U (x) ,
+
+(A.1)
+
+donde la transformaci�on gauge U(x) es una funci�on que toma valores sobre matrices en
+el espacio interno. Esta transformaci�on corresponde a una transformaci�on de semejanza de D� de la forma D�U = � + AU� (x) = U -1(x)D�U (x), donde U (x) se considera que es un operador multiplicativo en el espacio de Hilbert H de las funciones de onda. Debido a
+que f (M, D�) est�a construido con M, D� y c-nu�meros, se sigue que f (M, D�) tambi�en se transforma bajo una transformaci�on de semejanza
+
+f (M U , D�U ) = U -1f (M, D�)U .
+
+(A.2)
+
+U(x) pertenece a cierto grupo gauge G y el campo gauge A�(x) es un elemento del a�lgebra de Lie de G. La clase de matrices M(x) debe ser cerrada bajo transformaciones gauge. U(x) debe ser una funci�on continua del espacio-tiempo y a temperatura finita ha de ser peri�odica (salvo una posible fase global) como funci�on de x0. Notar que una transformaci�on gauge deja invariante el espectro de f (M, D�), por tratarse de una transformaci�on de semejanza.

+Cap�itulo A: Transformaciones Gauge
+
+A.2. Gauges estacionarios
+
+En c�alculos expl�icitos suele ser usual fijar el gauge a trav�es de la condicio�n 0A0 = 0, que no implica p�erdida de generalidad ya que este gauge siempre existe.1 Esto quiere decir que para cada configuraci�on existe una transformaci�on gauge que la lleva a la configuracio�n estacionaria. Una vez fijado este gauge, queda au�n cierta libertad. Cuando se trabaja en el gauge estacionario, para comprobar la invariancia gauge es necesario encontrar el resto de transformaciones compatibles con este gauge y ver que todas ellas producen el mismo resultado. A continuaci�on vamos a determinar cua�l es la transformaci�on gauge ma�s general de este tipo.
+Sean A� y B� dos configuraciones estacionarias y sea U una transformaci�on gauge que transforma A� en B�. Esto quiere decir
+
+B0(x) = U -1(x)0U (x) + U -1(x)A0(x)U (x) .
+
+(A.3)
+
+Notar que el primer t�ermino cambia la magnitud de A0 y el segundo simplemente lo rota en el espacio interno. Podemos simplificar esta ecuaci�on si hacemos uso de la variable auxiliar V (x) = exp(x0A0(x))U(x), con lo que queda
+
+B0(x) = V -1(x)0V (x) .
+
+(A.4)
+
+La soluci�on ma�s general de (A.4) va a estar formada por una transformaci�on gauge arbi-
+
+traria independiente del tiempo y por una transformaci�on cuya dependencia temporal sea
+
+lineal2
+
+V (x) = U0(x)ex0B0(x) .
+
+(A.5)
+
+Un modo conveniente de escribir la transformaci�on es haciendo uso del cambio de variable
+
+B0(x) = U0-1(x)(A0(x) + (x))U0(x) ,
+
+(A.6)
+
+con lo cual finalmente queda
+
+U (x) = e-x0A0 e (x) x0(A0(x)+(x))U0(x) .
+
+(A.7)
+
+Ahora debemos imponer la condicio�n de que U(x) es funci�on peri�odica de x0, salvo una
+
+posible fase global
+
+U (x0 + , x) = eiU (x0, x) .
+
+(A.8)
+
+Aqu�i  es una fase global escalar multiplicada por la matriz identidad. Esto conduce a la
+
+restricci�on
+
+e(A0(x)+(x)) = eieA0(x) ,
+
+(A.9)
+
+lo cual va a producir una discretizaci�on en la parte temporal de la transformaci�on gauge. De (A.9) se deduce que A0(x) y (x) deben conmutar con exp(A0(x)). Si el espectro de
+
+1Este gauge es conocido en la literatura como 'gauge de Polyakov', aunque nosotros nos referiremos a
+�el tambi�en como gauge estacionario. 2Una dependencia no lineal dar�ia lugar a una contribuci�on temporal en B0.
+
+A.3 Particularizacio�n al grupo gauge SU(Nc)
+
+173
+
+la matriz unitaria exp(A0(x)) es no degenerado, �esta puede ser diagonalizada en una base
+
+que es esencialmente u�nica e independiente de x. En este caso A0(x) y (x) deben ser diagonales en la misma base y por tanto van a conmutar entre s�i. Esto da lugar a que la
+
+condicio�n sobre  sea
+
+e(x) = ei ,
+
+[A0(x), (x)] = 0 .
+
+(A.10)
+
+La primera condicio�n conduce a que los valores propios de (x) sean de la forma j = i( + 2nj)/, nj  Z. Notar que por continuidad estos enteros deben ser independientes de x. Finalmente la transformaci�on gauge queda
+
+U (x) = ex0(x)U0(x) ,
+
+(A.11)
+
+expresi�on va�lida cuando el espectro de exp(A0(x)) es no degenerado.
+
+A.3. Particularizaci�on al grupo gauge SU(Nc)
+
+A.3.1. Simetr�ia del centro del grupo gauge
+
+Consideremos espec�ificamente el grupo gauge SU(Nc). En la ecuaci�on (A.8), tomando en cada miembro el determinante y teniendo en cuenta que Det(U) = 1, obtenemos que los valores permitidos de  son cuando Det[exp(i)] = 1, esto es  = 2n/Nc, n  Z. Puesto que solamente est�an permitidos valores discretos para , esto implica que la matriz  debe ser independiente de x, por continuidad. Como ejemplo, en SU(2) los valores propios de  son de la forma j = inj/, nj  Z. Para SU(Nc), con Nc > 2, es siempre posible elegir una representacio�n fundamental en la cual todos los generadores diagonales excepto uno tengan al menos un valor propio cero [por ejemplo, las matrices de Gell-Mann 3 y 8 para SU(3)]. La transformaci�on U se escribir�a
+
+U (x) = exp(x0aa)U0(x) ,
+
+(A.12)
+
+donde a/2i son los generadores diagonales del grupo. Los t�erminos a correspondientes a cada uno de los generadores con un valor propio cero deben ser de la forma a = i2na/.
+El otro generador Nc2-1 viene dado por
+
+Nc2-1 = diag(1, 1, � � � , 1 - Nc) ,
+
+(A.13)
+
+donde  es un factor de normalizacio�n. En este caso Nc2-1 = i2n/(Nc) dan lugar a transformaciones gauge permitidas. Esto quiere decir que adema�s de la simetr�ia gauge SU(Nc), exite una simetr�ia extra global Z(Nc), que es el centro del grupo gauge. Esta simetr�ia es generada por la accio�n de transformaciones gauge locales que son peri�odicas en la variable temporal, salvo un elemento arbitrario de Z(Nc),
+
+U (x0 + , x) = z U (x0, x) ,
+
+z = ei2n/Nc ,
+
+(A.14)
+
+mo�dulo transformaciones gauge locales estrictamente peri�odicas.

+
+Cap�itulo A: Transformaciones Gauge
+
+A.3.2. Rotura expl�icita de la simetr�ia del centro
+
+La situacio�n cambia si hay fermiones en la teor�ia. Puesto que los fermiones transforman como   U, no hay factores U-1 que cancelen la fase global. Por tanto, con objeto de que las condiciones de contorno temporales para fermiones queden inalteradas bajo transformaciones gauge, s�olo est�an permitidas transformaciones que satisfagan (A.8) con  = 0. Esto quiere decir que los fermiones rompen la simetr�ia del centro del grupo gauge que est�a presente en todas las teor�ias gauge puras. En consecuencia, la forma ma�s general de a para una teor�ia SU(Nc) con fermiones es a = i2na/.
+La rotura de la simetr�ia del centro del grupo gauge se manifiesta en que algunos de los m�inimos absolutos degenerados del potencial efectivo de la teor�ia gauge pura dejan de serlo cuando la teor�ia incluye fermiones. No obstante, es posible probar que estos m�inimos seguir�an siendo puntos estacionarios del potencial efectivo completo con fermiones. En el gauge de Polyakov A0 es independiente del tiempo y diagonal. Una matriz diagonal arbitraria de su(Nc) se puede escribir siempre como una combinaci�on lineal de matrices que tengan al menos un cero en la diagonal y la matriz Nc2-1 dada en (A.13). U� nicamente esta u�ltima matriz pondr�a de manifiesto el m�inimo que estamos buscando, por lo comentado anteriormente. El potencial efectivo de QCD que calculamos en el cap�itulo 3 se puede escribir como

+Los m�inimos de L0,g se encuentran en  = m/Nc, con m entero. Si diferenciamos el lagrangiano L0,q respecto a  se puede comprobar que estos m�inimos se corresponden exactamente con puntos estacionarios (m�inimos o ma�ximos) de la parte fermi�onica. En consecuencia, el
+potencial efectivo total siempre va a tener puntos estacionarios en  = m/Nc.

+Como vemos, las contribuciones de los quarks no distinguen entre componentes paralelas
+y perpendiculares. Esto se debe a que en SU(2) una funci�on par en  en la representacio�n
+fundamental es necesariamente un c-nu�mero. Puesto que todas las funciones n() involucradas en los t�erminos de dimensi�on 6 son pares [n()+n(-1) = c�12�2], la dependencia en  de las ecs. (3.30) y (3.32) sale fuera de la traza, de modo que A0 no ser�a una direccio�n
+
+183
+privilegiada en espacio de color. Este propiedad no se cumple en la representacio�n adjunta (sector glu�onico), ni tampoco en otros grupos SU(Nc) (por ejemplo, ec. (3.117)).
+Las divergencias infrarrojas est�an sujetas a que  sea entero, de modo que no existen en el sector fermi�onico, y se cancelan en las contribuciones gluo�nicas que u�nicamente involucran componentes paralelas.

+
+Ap�endice D
+Lagrangiano Efectivo del Modelo Quark Quiral acoplado con el loop de Polyakov
+
+En este ap�endice se explicara� en detalle el c�alculo del lagrangiano quiral efectivo a temperatura finita presentado en la secci�on 5.5. El c�alculo se divide en tres partes. En primer lugar se construir�a el operador de Klein-Gordon a partir del operador de Dirac y su adjunto para la parte real de la accio�n efectiva. Haciendo uso de la representacio�n de Schwinger de tiempo propio, deberemos calcular el heat kernel para este operador. Para ello haremos uso de la t�ecnica desarrollada en el cap�itulo 2. Calcularemos las trazas en los grados de libertad internos (en nuestro caso, sabor). Finalmente, haremos uso de las ecuaciones de movimiento con objeto de tener en cuenta el hecho de que los campos pio�nicos est�an en la capa de masas.
+
+D.1. Operador de Klein-Gordon efectivo
+
+El operador de Dirac que aparece en el determinante fermi�onico se comporta de manera covariante bajo transformaciones quirales. Esto implica que, en principio, habr�ia que considerar tanto el acoplamiento vector como el axial. Conseguiremos una gran simplificacio�n en nuestro tratamiento si hacemos uso de los convenios de ref. [148, 149], donde se muestra que es suficiente con llevar a cabo el c�alculo en el caso de un acoplamiento vector, y posteriormente reconstruir el resultado quiral total de un modo conveniente.
+Consideremos el siguiente operador de Dirac con un acoplamiento tipo vector
+
+D =D/ +h, h = m + z ,
+
+(D.1)
+
+donde h incluye el campo del pio�n m, que es orden O(p0), y el t�ermino de masa z que rompe 185

+PRODUCTS OF TOPOLOGICAL GROUPS IN WHICH ALL CLOSED SUBGROUPS ARE SEPARABLE
+ARKADY G. LEIDERMAN ,1 AND MIKHAIL G. TKACHENKO ,2
+To the memory of Wistar Comfort (1933�2016), a great topologist and man, to whom we owe much of our inspiration
+Abstract. We prove that if H is a topological group such that all closed subgroups of H are separable, then the product G � H has the same property for every separable compact group G.
+Let c be the cardinality of the continuum. Assuming 21 = c, we show that there exist:
+� pseudocompact topological abelian groups G and H such that all closed subgroups of G and H are separable, but the product G � H contains a closed non-separable -compact subgroup;
+� pseudocomplete locally convex vector spaces K and L such that all closed vector subspaces of K and L are separable, but the product K � L contains a closed non-separable -compact vector subspace.
+1. Introduction
+All topological groups and locally convex linear spaces are assumed to be Hausdorff. The weight of a topological space X, denoted by w(X), is the smallest size of a base for X. A space X is separable if it contains a dense countable subset. If every subspace of a topological space X is separable, then X is called hereditarily separable. Hereditary separability is not a productive property -- the Sorgenfrey line is an example of a hereditarily separable paratopological group whose square contains a closed discrete subgroup of cardinality c (see [6, 2.3.12] or [1, 5.2.e]). Nevertheless, as we observe in Proposition 1.2, the product of any hereditarily separable topological space with a separable metrizable space is hereditarily separable.
+Our main objective is to study products of two topological groups having the following property: Every closed subgroup of a group is separable. Since this property does not imply the separability of every subspace of a group, Proposition 1.2 has very limited applicability for our purposes.
+It is known that a closed subgroup of a separable topological group is not necessarily separable. However, W. Comfort and G. Itzkowitz proved in [3] that all closed subgroups of a separable locally compact topological group are separable. It

+was also noticed by several authors independently that every metrizable subgroup of a separable topological group is separable (see [12]).
+Recently these results have been generalized in [11] as follows: Every feathered subgroup of a separable topological group is separable. We recall that a topological group G is feathered if it contains a compact subgroup K such that the quotient space G/K is metrizable (see [1, Section 4.3]). All locally compact and all metrizable groups are feathered.
+Since the class of feathered groups is closed under countable products and taking closed subgroups, we obtain the following simple corollary.
+Proposition 1.1. Let G be a separable locally compact group and H be a separable feathered group. Then every closed subgroup of the product G � H is separable.
+Let us say that a topological group G is strongly separable (briefly, S-separable), if for any topological group H such that every closed subgroup of H is separable, the product G � H has the same property.
+The following open problem arises naturally.
+Problem 1. Find out the frontiers of the class of S-separable topological groups:
+(a) Is every separable locally compact group S-separable? (b) Is the group of reals R S-separable? Does there exist a separable metrizable
+group which is not S-separable? (c) Is the free topological group on the closed unit interval S-separable?
+Our Theorem 2.1 provides the positive answer to (a) of Problem 1 in the important case when G is a separable compact group.
+Then we deduce that every topological group G which contains a separable compact subgroup K such that the quotient space G/K is countable, is S-separable.
+It is reasonable to ask whether the separability of closed subgroups of the product G�H is determined by the same property of the factors G and H, without imposing additional conditions on G or H. We answer this question in the negative in Section 3.
+A Tychonoff space X is called pseudocompact if every continuous real-valued function defined on X is bounded. Assuming that 21 = c, we construct in Theorem 3.4 pseudocompact topological abelian groups G and H such that all closed subgroups of G and H are separable, but the product G � H contains a closed non-separable -compact subgroup.
+In Section 4 we consider the class of locally convex spaces (lcs) in which all closed vector subspaces are separable. The case of locally convex spaces is quite different from topological groups, as an infinite-dimensional lcs is never locally compact or pseudocompact. Probably the first example of a closed (but not complete) nonseparable vector subspace of a separable lcs was given by R. Lohman and W. Stiles [12]. The study of the products of topological vector spaces in which all closed vector subspaces are separable was initiated by P. Doman�ski. He proved in [5] that if Ei is a separable topological vector space whose completion is not q-minimal (in particular, if Ei is a separable infinite-dimensional Banach space) for each i  I, where |I| = c, then the product iI Ei has a non-separable closed vector subspace.
+Recently this result was generalized in [9] as follows: If each Ei, for i  I, is an lcs with at least c of the Ei's not having the weak topology, then the product
+iI Ei contains a closed non-separable vector subspace.

+
+These facts prompt the following problem for lcs, similar to the questions considered earlier for topological groups.
+Problem 2. Do there exist locally convex spaces K and L such that all closed linear subspaces of K and L are separable, but the product K � L contains a closed non-separable vector subspace?
+To the best of our knowledge, the product of two lcs in which all closed vector subspaces are separable has not been considered in the literature yet.
+We present a result in the negative direction analogous in spirit to the aforementioned Theorem 3.4. Our Theorem 4.5 states that under 21 = c, there exist pseudocomplete (hence, Baire) locally convex spaces K and L such that all closed vector subspaces of both K and L are separable, but the product K � L contains a closed non-separable -compact vector subspace.
+Note that in view of our Proposition 4.1 none of the factors K, L in Theorem 4.5 can be a finite-dimensional Banach space.
+The question whether the assumption 21 = c can be dropped in Theorems 3.4 and 4.5 remains open (see Problem 5).
+1.1. Notation and Background Results. We start with the following apparently folklore result regarding products of hereditarily separable topological spaces. The authors thank K. Kunen who provided us with a short proof of the following proposition. Since we failed to find a reference to this fact in the literature, its proof is included for the sake of completeness.
+Proposition 1.2. Let X be a hereditarily separable space and Y a space with a countable network. Then the product X � Y is also hereditarily separable.
+Proof. Let N be a countable network for Y . The space Y admits a finer topology with a countable base -- it suffices to consider the topology on Y whose subbase is N . Therefore we can assume that the space Y itself has a countable base, say, B.
+Suppose for a contradiction that the product X � Y is not hereditarily separable. Let us recall that a space is hereditarily separable iff it has no uncountable left separated subspace (see [17]). Let {(x, y) :  < 1} be a left separated subspace of X � Y , so there are separating neighborhoods {U :  < 1} such that (x, y)  U for each   1, but (x, y) / U whenever  < . We can assume without loss of generality that each U has the form A � B, where A is an open subset of X and B  B. Since B is countable, one can find an uncountable set I  1 and an element B  B such that B = B for each   I. Clearly, y  B for each   I. Take ,   I with  < . Then x  A and x / A -- otherwise we would have (x, y)  A � B = A � B = U. This shows that {x :   I} is an uncountable left separated subspace of X. Hence X is not hereditarily separable, thus contradicting our assumptions.
+Next we collect several important (mostly well-known) facts that will be applied in the sequel.
+Theorem 1.3. (See [7, Theorem 3.1] and [3, Corollary 2.5]) If a compact topological group G satisfies w(G)  c, then it is separable, and vice versa. Hence all closed subgroups of a separable compact group G are separable.
+As usual, we equip products of topological spaces with the Tychonoff topology. The next result about products of separable spaces follows from the classical Hewitt�Marczewski�Pondiczery theorem.

+
+Theorem 1.4. (See [6, Theorem 2.3.15]) The product of no more than c separable spaces is separable.
+
+Let X = A X be a product space and B an arbitrary non-empty subset of the index set A. Then B : X  XB denotes the natural projection of X onto the subproduct XB = B X.
+We will use the following theorem about subspaces of Tychonoff products of compact metrizable spaces in the proof of Theorem 3.4.
+
+Theorem 1.5. [1, Theorem 2.4.15] Suppose that S is a subspace of the topological product X = A X of compact metrizable spaces such that B(X) = XB for every countable subset B  A. Then X is the Stone-Cech compactification of S and the space S is pseudocompact.
+
+The closure of a subset U  X in X is denoted by clX U . A family P of open non-empty subsets of X is called a -base for X if every open non-empty set in X contains an element of P. The following notion was introduced by J.C. Oxtoby in [16].
+
+Definition 1.6. A topological space X is called pseudocomplete if there exists a sequence {Pn : n  } of -bases for X such that for every sequence {Un : n  } of subsets of X satisfying Un  Pn and clX Un+1  Un for each n  , the intersection
+n Un is non-empty.
+Every regular pseudocomplete space has the Baire property, and an arbitrary product of pseudocomplete spaces is pseudocomplete [16]. The class of pseudocomplete spaces contains all pseudocompact spaces.
+Several well-known problems about pseudocompleteness are still open. For example, it is unknown whether pseudocompleteness is preserved by continuous open mappings or is hereditary with respect to dense G-subspaces (see [14]). Let us say that a subset Y of a space X is G-dense in X if Y intersects each non-empty G-set in X. The following fact is apparently new though simple.
+We recall that a space X is Moscow if the closure of every open set in X is the union of a family of G-sets in X. All extremely disconnected spaces and all spaces of countable pseudocharacter are evidently Moscow.
+
+Proposition 1.7. Let X be a regular pseudocomplete Moscow space and Y be a G-dense subspace of X. Then Y is a pseudocomplete space as well.
+
+Proof. Fix a sequence {Pn : n  } of -bases for X witnessing the pseudocompleteness of X. Since X is regular, we may assume that each Pn consists of regularly open sets. For every n  , we put Qn = {U  Y : U  Pn}. We claim that the sequence {Qn : n  } satisfies the requirements of Definition 1.6.
+Indeed, let {Wn : n  } be a sequence such that Wn  Qn and clY Wn+1  Wn for each n  . For every n  , take an open set Un  Pn with Un  Y = Wn. It is easy to see that clX Un+1  Un for all n  . If not, then clX Un+1  Un for some n  . Since the set Un is regular open in X, the latter means that
+
+clX Un+1  clX (X \ clX Un) = .
+
+As X is a Moscow space, each of the sets clX Un+1 and clX (X \ clX Un) is the union of G-sets. By the G-density of Y in X, we conclude that
+
+(1.1)
+
+Y  clX Un+1  clX (X \ clX Un) = 
+
+PRODUCTS OF TOPOLOGICAL GROUPS
+
+5
+
+or, equivalently, clY Wn+1clX (X\clX Un) = . However, clY Wn+1  Wn  Un and Un  clX (X \ clX Un) = , which contradicts (1.1). This proves that clX Un+1  Un for each n  .
+Since Un  Pn for each n   and the space X is pseudocomplete, it follows that n Un = . Making use of the G-denseness of Y in X, we see that
+
+ = Y  Un = (Un  Y ) = Wn.
+

+

+

+
+This implies the pseudocompleteness of Y .
+
+Let us recall that the o-tightness of a space X, denoted by ot(X), is the minimum cardinal    such that for every family  of open sets in X and every point x  , one can find a subfamily  of  with ||   such that x  . It is clear that every space X satisfies ot(X)  c(X) and ot(X)  t(X), where c(X) and t(X) are the cellularity and tightness of X, respectively (see [19]).
+In the presence of an additional algebraic structure on a given space X, mild topological restrictions on X, like having countable o-tightness, imply that X is a Moscow space (see [1, Section 6.4]). We apply this fact in the following corollary.
+Corollary 1.8. Let G be a regular paratopological group of countable o-tightness. If G is pseudocomplete, then so is every G-dense subspace of G.
+Proof. Since G has countable o-tightness, [1, Corollary 6.4.11, 5)] implies that G is a Moscow space. Hence the required conclusion follows from Proposition 1.7.
+
+The next result will be used in the proof of Theorem 4.5.
+Theorem 1.9. Let Y be a subspace of the topological product X = A X of regular pseudocomplete first countable spaces such that B(Y ) = B X for every countable subset B of A. Then the space Y is pseudocomplete.
+Proof. It is clear that Y is a G-dense subspace of X because Y fills all countable faces of the product space X. Also, the space X is pseudocomplete as a product of pseudocomplete spaces [16]. Since each factor X is regular and first countable, it follows from [1, Corollary 6.3.15] that X is a regular Moscow space. Finally, Y is pseudocomplete in view of Proposition 1.7.
+
+If the factors X are paratopological groups, we can complement Theorem 1.9 as follows.
+Corollary 1.10. Let Y be a subspace of the topological product H = A H of regular, pseudocomplete, separable paratopological groups. If B(Y ) = B H for every countable subset B of A, then the space Y is pseudocomplete.
+Proof. By [1, Theorem 6.4.19], H is a Moscow space. Since Y is G-dense in H and H is regular, it remains to apply Proposition 1.7.
+
+Every maximal linearly independent subset B of a vector space E is called a Hamel basis for E. The cardinality of B is an algebraic dimension of E which will be denoted by ldim(E). It is known that ldim(E) = c for any separable infinitedimensional Banach space E (see [10]).

+
+2. Products with a compact or countable factor
+Let us say that a topological group G is strongly separable (briefly, S-separable) if for any topological group H such that every closed subgroup of H is separable, the product G � H has the same property.
+One of our main observations is the following result which can be reformulated by saying that every separable compact group is S-separable.
+Theorem 2.1. Let G be a separable compact group and H be a topological group in which all closed subgroups are separable. Then all closed subgroups of the product G � H are separable as well.
+Proof. Take a closed subgroup C of G � H and denote by pH the projection of G � H onto the second factor. According to Kuratowski's theorem (see [6, Theorem 3.1.16]) pH is a closed mapping. Therefore the image D = pH (C) is a closed subgroup of H. It follows from our assumptions about H that the group D is separable. Let H be the restriction of pH to C and K be the kernel of H . Clearly the homomorphism H : C  D is a continuous closed mapping. Hence the homomorphism H of C onto D is a quotient mapping and therefore H is open [1, Proposition 1.5.14]. The group K is topologically isomorphic to a closed subgroup of G, so K is separable according to Theorem 1.3. Finally, C is separable because separability is a three-space property in topological groups [1, Theorem 1.5.23].
+It is not clear to which extent one can generalize Theorem 2.1 by weakening the compactness assumption on G. However, some additional conditions on the groups G and/or H have to be imposed as it follows from Theorem 3.4 in Section 3.
+In the next proposition we present another situation when the projection G � H  H turns out to be a closed mapping.
+Proposition 2.2. Let G be a countably compact topological group and H a separable metrizable topological group. If all closed subgroups of G are separable, then the product group G � H has the same property.
+Proof. It is known (see [6, Theorem 3.10.7]) that the projection p : G � H  H is a closed mapping. Let C be a closed subgroup of G � H and  be the restriction to C of the projection p. Since C is closed in G � H,  is also a closed mapping. The mapping  being a continuous homomorphism, we see that  : C  (C) is open. Now we finish the proof by the same argument as in Theorem 2.1.
+The following problem arises in an attempt to generalize Proposition 2.2:
+Problem 3. Let G be a countably compact topological group such that all closed subgroups of G are separable, and H a topological group with a countable network. Are the closed subgroups of G � H separable?
+Next we show that every countable topological group is S-separable. A more general result will be presented in Theorem 2.5.
+Proposition 2.3. Let G be a countable topological group and H be a topological group in which all closed subgroups are separable. Then all closed subgroups of the product G � H are separable as well.
+Proof. We modify slightly the idea presented in the proof of Theorem 2.1. Take a closed subgroup C of G � H and let  be the restriction to C of the projection
+
+PRODUCTS OF TOPOLOGICAL GROUPS
+

+
+G � H  G. Then the image D = (C) is a countable subgroup of G. The kernel of  is topologically isomorphic to a closed subgroup of H and, hence, is separable. Therefore all fibers of  are separable. For every y  D, let Sy be a countable dense subset of -1(y). Then S = yD Sy is a countable dense subset of C. Indeed, let U be an arbitrary non-empty open set in C. Take an element x  U and put y = (x). Then x  U  -1(y) = , so the density of Sy in -1(y) implies that U  Sy = . Since Sy  S, we conclude that U  S = , which shows that S is dense in C. Hence C is separable.
+Proposition 2.4. The class of S-separable groups is closed under the operations:
+(1) finite products; (2) taking closed subgroups; (3) taking continuous homomorphic images.
+Proof. Items (1) and (2) are evident, so we verify only (3). Let  : F  G be a continuous onto homomorphism of topological groups, where the group F is Sseparable. Also, let H be a topological group such that all closed subgroups of H are separable. Denote by iH the identity mapping of H onto itself. Then g = �iH is a continuous homomorphism of F � H onto G � H. If D is a closed subgroup of G � H, then C = g-1(D) is a separable closed subgroup of F � H since F is S-separable. Hence the group D = g(C) is separable as well.
+Denote by S the smallest class of topological groups which is generated by all compact separable groups, all countable groups and is closed under the operations listed in (1)�(3) of Proposition 2.4. It is not difficult to verify that if G  S, then G contains a compact separable subgroup K such that the quotient space G/K is countable. In the next problem we conjecture that this property characterizes the groups from S:
+Problem 4. Is it true that a topological group G is in the class S if and only if G contains a compact separable subgroup K such that the quotient space G/K is countable?
+The theorem below generalizes both Theorem 2.1 and Proposition 2.3. It can be considered as a partial positive answer to Problem 4.
+Theorem 2.5. A topological group G is S-separable provided it contains a separable compact subgroup K such that the quotient space G/K is countable.
+Proof. Consider an arbitrary topological group H such that all closed subgroups of H are separable. Let C be a closed subgroup of G� H. It follows from Theorem 2.1 that the closed subgroup F = (K �H)C of K �H is separable. Let p : G�H  G be the projection onto the first factor. Take any point x  p(C) and choose an element z = (x, h)  C. It is easy to see that (xK � H)  C = zF . Since F has countable index in G, the latter equality implies that the group C can be covered by countably many translates of the separable group F . Hence C is separable as well. We conclude therefore that G is S-separable.
+Remark 2.6. Each G  S is a separable -compact group, but the group of reals R is not in the class S. We do not know any example of an S-separable topological group which is not in the class S.
+The main obstacle for resolving Problem 1 is the fact that the restriction of an open continuous homomorphism to a closed subgroup can fail to be open, even if
+
+8
+
+ARKADY G. LEIDERMAN AND MIKHAIL G. TKACHENKO
+
+the restriction is considered as a mapping onto its image. This is an important issue since we use the fact that separability is a three-space property, while the corresponding homomorphism of a group onto its quotient group is open. We also note that there exists a continuous one-to-one homomorphism of a non-separable precompact group onto a separable metrizable group (one can combine Theorems 9.9.30 and 9.9.38 of [1]). In particular, the kernel of such a homomorphism is trivial and, hence, separable. So the preservation of separability under taking inverse images of a continuous homomorphism with a separable kernel depends essentially on whether the homomorphism is open or not.
+A topological group G is called categorically compact (briefly, C-compact), if for every topological group H the projection G � H  H sends closed subgroups of G � H to closed subgroups of H [4]. It is known that C-compactness is preserved by continuous surjective homomorphisms and inherited by closed subgroups. D. Dikranjan and V. Uspenskij proved that the product of any family of C-compact groups is C-compact. A countable discrete group is C-compact if and only if it is hereditarily non-topologizable [13]. Obviously, compact groups are C-compact and C-compactness of G yields its compactness provided that the group G is either soluble (in particular, abelian), or connected, or locally compact [4].
+The long-standing problem of whether every C-compact group is compact has been recently resolved negatively in the article [8], where an infinite discrete Ccompact group is presented. Clearly this group is far from commutative or soluble. Thus, C-compact groups constitute a rich non-trivial class containing all compact groups as a proper subclass.
+Remark 2.7. We do not know whether all separable C-compact topological groups are S-separable.
+3. Product of Two Pseudocompact Groups
+In this section we present two pseudocompact abelian groups G and H such that all closed subgroups of G and H are separable, but the product G � H contains a closed non-separable subgroup.
+First we recall that a Boolean group is a group in which all elements are of order two. Clearly, all Boolean groups are abelian. For each integer n  2, Z(n) denotes the discrete group {0, 1, . . . , n - 1} with addition modulo n. A non-empty subset X of a Boolean group G with identity e is independent if for any pairwise distinct elements x1, . . . , xn of X the equality x1 + � � � + xn = e implies that x1 = � � � = xn = e.
+A family V of non-empty subsets of a topological space X is called a -network for X if every non-empty open set U  X contains an element of V.
+Lemma 3.1. Let  be a cardinal satisfying     c. Then the compact Boolean group C = Z(2) has a countable -network V = {Vn : n  } such that |Vn|  2 for each n  .
+Proof. Identify  with a dense subset of the open interval (0, 1) and fix a countable family T consisting of the sets of the form A, with A being a disjoint finite union of open intervals with rational end-points in (0, 1). For every set A1 A2 � � �An  T and a finite collection {B1, B2, . . . , Bn}, where each Bi = {0} or {1}, we define the set
+V = {x   : x()  Bi for each   Ai}.
+
+PRODUCTS OF TOPOLOGICAL GROUPS
+
+9
+
+It is easy to verify that the family V consisting of all such sets V is a countable -network for the space C. The cardinality of each Vn is at least 2 = c because Vn contains a copy of Z(2).
+Proposition 3.2. Let  be a cardinal satisfying     c and S be a subgroup of the compact Boolean group C = Z(2) with |S| < c. Then C contains a countable dense independent subset X of C such that X  S = {e}.
+Proof. Evidently, if x  C \ S, then x  S = {e}. Let V = {Vn : n  } be a countable -network for C such that every Vn has cardinality at least 2 = c (see Lemma 3.1). Take an element x0  V0 \ S. Then x0  S = {e}. Similarly, take an element x1  V1 \ (S + x0 ). Again, this is possible since |S + x0 | < c. In general, if elements x0, x1, . . . , xn-1 of C have been defined, we choose an element xn  Vn \ (S + x0, x1, . . . , xn-1 ). This choice guarantees that x0, x1, . . . , xn  S = {e} and that the set {x0, x1, . . . , xn} is independent.
+Let X = {xn : n  } and Q be the subgroup of C generated by X. Notice that the set X is independent. Since xn  Vn for each n  , we see that X is dense in C. It is also clear that Q  S = {e}. This completes the proof.
+
+Remark 3.3. Proposition 3.2 cannot be extended to compact metrizable bounded torsion groups. Indeed, let G = Z(2) � Z(4). Clearly G is a compact metrizable group of period 4. Let S = {�0} � Z(4), where �0 is the identity element of Z(2). Then every dense subgroup D of G has a non-trivial intersection with the finite group S. To see this, consider the open subset U = Z(2) � {1} of G. Since D is dense in G, there exists an element x  D  U . Clearly the element 2x is distinct from the identity of G and 2x = (�0, 2)  D  S.
+Theorem 3.4. Assume that 21 = c. Then there exist pseudocompact abelian topological groups G and H such that all closed subgroups of G and H are separable, but the product G � H contains a closed non-separable -compact subgroup.
+
+Proof. We will construct G and H as dense subgroups of the compact Boolean group  = Z(2)1 . For every   1, we denote by p the projection of  onto the -th factor, p(x) = x() for each x  . Given an element x  , let
+
+supp(x) = {  1 : p(x) = 1}.
+
+Then the set
+
+ = {x   : | supp(x)| < }
+
+is a dense subgroup of  satisfying || = 1. It is easy to verify that the group 
+with the topology inherited from  is -compact and not separable.
+Our aim is to define the subgroups G and H of  satisfying the equality GH =
+. It is clear that  = {(x, x) : x  }, the diagonal in  � , is a closed subgroup
+of  � , so   (G � H) is a closed non-separable subgroup of G � H which is
+isomorphic to . We define the groups G and H by recursion of length c. It follows from 21 = c
+that the family of all closed subsets of  has cardinality 21 = c. Hence we can
+enumerate all infinite closed subgroups of , say, {C :  < c}. For every countable subset B of 1, the set Z(2)B has cardinality at most c, so we can enumerate the set  = {Z(2)B : B  1, 1  |B|  } as  = {b :  < c}. For every  < c, let B be a countable subset of 1 such that b  Z(2)B . The two enumerations will
+
+10
+
+ARKADY G. LEIDERMAN AND MIKHAIL G. TKACHENKO
+
+be used in our construction of G and H. For every non-empty subset B of 1, we denote the projection of  = Z(2)1 onto Z(2)B by B.
+We start with putting G0 = H0 = . Let  be an ordinal, 0 <  < c. Assume that we have defined subgroups G and H of , for each  < , such that the following conditions hold:
+(i) G  G and H  H if  < ; (ii) |G|  | + 1| � 1 and |H|  | + 1| � 1; (iii) G  H = ; (iv) b  B (G)  B (H) for each  < ; (v) both G  C and H  C contain a countable dense subgroup of C , for
+each  < .
+If  is a limit ordinal, we put G = < G and H = < H. It is clear that the families {G :   } and {H :   } satisfy conditions (i)�(iv).
+Assume that  is a successor ordinal, say,  =  + 1. First we define a subgroup G of . It follows from (ii) that |G|  || � 1 and |H|  || � 1. It is known that every compact Boolean group is topologically isomorphic to the group Z(2) for some cardinal  (this is a simple corollary of the Pontryagin�Van Kampen's duality theory, see [15, Chapter 5]). Hence one can apply Proposition 3.2 with S = G + H to find a countable dense subgroup Q of a compact Boolean group C such that the intersection of Q and S is trivial. This implies the equality
+(G + Q )  (H + Q ) = G  H = .
+Let G = G + Q and H = H + Q. By (ii), we have that |G |  | + 1| � 1 and |H |  | + 1| � 1. Since Q  G  H , both intersections G  C and H  C contain the countable dense subgroup Q� of C . Denote by P the set {x   : B (x) = b}. Then |P| = c, while |G| � |H | < c. Hence we can choose an element x  P such that x / G + H . We put G = G + x . It follows from our choice of x that G  H = . Similarly, one can choose y  P such that y / G + H , and we put H = H + y . Again, our choice of y implies that G  H =  and, clearly, b  B (G)  B (H). Therefore, the families {G :   } and {H :   } satisfy conditions (i)�(v).
+Finally we define subgroups G and H of  by letting G = 
+
+0
+
+.
+
+(3)
+
+One can see from Eq. (3) that only T -odd transport coefficients can contribute to the entropy
+
+production, while T -even coefficients cannot. On the one hand the electric current J is T -odd, while the electric field E is T -even, and both the magnetic field B and vorticity  are T -odd.
+
+Then, from a quick inspection of Eq. (2) one concludes that the electric conductivity  is T -odd, while the chiral magnetic and vortical conductivities, B and V , are T -even. This explains the dissipative properties of , and the non-dissipative characters of B and V . From a similar
+analysis of the parity P properties one finds that the chiral conductivities are related to P-odd
+transport, see e.g. [23].
+It is possible to observe non-dissipative effects also in the energy-momentum tensor under an appropriate choice of the frame (see Sec. 3.2), in particular the generation of an energy-flux
+induced by a magnetic field or by a vortex, i.e.
+
+T � anom = B(B�u + Bu�) + V (�u +  u�) .
+
+(4)
+
+We will refer to B (V ) as chiral magnetic (vortical) conductivity of energy current. In the rest of this work we will study the transport coefficients , B, V , B and V . We will be especially focused on the chiral conductivities.
+
+3. Kubo Formulae On the basis of linear response theory, hydrodynamic transport coefficients can be extracted from the long-wavelength and low-frequency limits of some retarded Green functions, leading to the so called Kubo formulae. The Kubo formula for the chiral magnetic conductivity was derived in [26], while the one for the chiral vortical conductivity was studied in [7]. They read, respectively,

+

+
+Similar Kubo formulae have been derived for the transport coefficients related to the generation of energy flux, in particular B  abc T 0aJ b and V  abc T 0aT 0b , see [7, 27, 8, 9]. We will
+study in this section the result of the computation of Eq. (5) at weak and strong coupling.
+
+3.1. Weak coupling results
+Let us consider a theory of N free chiral fermions transforming under a global symmetry group G generated by matrices (TA)f g. The chemical potential for the fermion f is given by �f = A qAf �A, while the Cartan generator is HA = qAf f g where qAf are the charges. It has been performed in the literature the 1-loop computation of the chiral magnetic [26] and
+the chiral vortical [28] conductivities by using the Kubo formulae of Eq. (5). The results read,
+respectively,

+bA = tr (TA)R - tr (TA)L , (7)
+
+are related to the trace of the generators of the symmetry group. The subscripts R, L stand for the contributions of right-handed and left-handed fermions. One can easily identify dABC with the group theoretic factor related to the axial anomaly, which typically appears in the computation of the anomalous triangle diagram corresponding to three non-abelian gauge fields coupled to a chiral fermion. On the other hand, the coefficient bA corresponds to the mixed
+
+gauge-gravitational anomaly [29], appearing in the anomalous triangle diagram with one nonabelian gauge field and two insertions of the energy-momentum tensor coupled to a chiral fermion. This means that the chiral magnetic and chiral vortical conductivities are induced by chiral anomalies, either the axial anomaly or the mixed gauge-gravitational anomaly.
+Anomalies are also responsible for a non-vanishing value of the divergence of the currents, which in this case reads [30] 1

+
+
+
+.
+
+(8)
+
+A clear consequence of Eq. (8) is that anomalies modify the hydrodynamic equations, due to
+the non-conservation of the currents. So it is obvious that they should affect the hydrodynamic
+expansion with new contributions not appearing in absence of anomalies. We have identified above these new contributions at first order in derivatives as B and V in Eq. (2). 2
+
+3.2. Strong coupling results The Kubo formulae Eq. (5) have been computed in [27, 24, 32] at strong coupling within a Einstein-Maxwell model in 5 dim. In order to mimic the anomalous effects, the model is supplemented with pure gauge and mixed gauge-gravitational Chern-Simons terms. The action reads

+
+contribution needed to reproduce the mixed gauge-gravitational anomaly at a general
+
+hypersurface. A computation of the current with this model leads to

+Note that J~� is not gauge covariant, and we refer to it as consistent current. The covariant version of the current, denoted by J�, is the usual one appearing in the constitutive relations.
+
+From Eq. (10), an on-shell computation of the divergence of the covariant current leads to the

+
+(11)
+
+Finally, from a comparison with Eq. (8) one can identify the parameters  and  as the axial
+
+anomaly and mixed gauge-gravitational anomaly coefficients, respectively.
+
+The holographic computation of the transport coefficients with the Kubo formulae follows
+
+from the study of retarded propagators by using the AdS/CFT dictionary [33, 34]. In general
+
+lines, we split the metric and gauge field into a background and a linear perturbation
+
+gMN = gM(0)N +  hMN ,
+
+AM = A(M0) +  aM .
+
+(12)
+
+1 The gauge-gravitational anomaly is the statement that it is not possible to preserve at the same time the
+vanishing of the divergence of the energy-momentum tensor and of the chiral U (1) currents. 2 B and V in Eq. (4) are induced also by chiral anomalies. A computation of these conductivities at weak
+coupling in line with this section can be found in e.g. [8, 31]. 3 Quantities with hat (F^, R^, � � �) refer to their induced four dimensional objects at a cut-off surface.
+
+Inserting these fields in the action and expanding up to second order in  one can obtain the second order action, and from there the desired propagators [35]. The equations of motion of the fluctuations should obey appropriate boundary conditions, in particular: i) regularity at the horizon; and ii) vanishing at the boundary, as the fluctuations cannot modify the boundary values, which are given by the background. There is some freedom in one of the boundary conditions which is related to the choice of frame. This corresponds to the particular definition of the local fluid velocity.
+We show in Table 1 the values of the anomalous conductivities computed with the holographic model of Eq. (9), corresponding to a system which realizes a single UA(1) symmetry. We display the results in three different frames. u� can be taken to be proportional to: i) the energy flux T 0i = ( + P )ui (Landau frame), and ii) the charge current Ji = nui (Eckart frame). In addition, the laboratory rest frame is the natural frame in the field theory computation, see Sec. 3.1, and it seems to be related to the entropy current JSi anom = 0, see e.g. [36].

+
+Let us finally stress that the values of the anomalous conductivities at strong coupling
+coincide precisely with the ones obtained at weak coupling, and this a strong hint towards a non-renormalization theorem for the anomalous conductivities, see e.g. [28, 27, 32]. 4
+
+4. Transport properties in massive gravity
+It has been recently studied in [20, 21] some minimal models for massive gravity in 4 dim. The momentum relaxation is described through the Stueckelberg mechanism with Goldstone modes corresponding to scalars XI , which are related to spatial translations. In this section we will consider the model presented in [21]. We have explicitly checked that our conclusions are the same when considering the model of [20].
+
+4.1. The model In order to study anomalous transport in holographic massive gravity theories, one should consider the theory in odd dimensions, as only in these cases there is contribution from the chiral anomaly and we can introduce the corresponding Chern-Simons terms, see Eq. (9). We will consider the model of [21], and extend it to 5 dim. The action reads

+
+4.2. Electric DC conductivity As shown in Eq. (2), the electric conductivity measures the electric current J� induced by an electric field E�. There are several methods to compute the DC conductivity in holography, but
+one of the most straightforward is the one proposed in [41]. We consider the following ansatz
+for the fluctuations in the gauge field and the metric:
+
+Ax = (Et + ax(r)) ,
+
+gtx = r2(1 + htx(r)) ,
+
+grx = r2(1 + hrx(r)) ,
+

+
+The DC conductivity can be obtained from a solution of these equations with appropriate boundary conditions at the horizon and the boundary, as explained in Sec. 3.2. At this point we will skip the technical details, that will be presented in [42]. The final result for the DC conductivity reads

+
+This formula is the equivalent to the result presented in Eq. (3.15)

+
+a function of the parameter k (left) and the temperature T (right) for different values of the
+
+parameter J . On the one hand, we observe that in the case J = 0, the conductivity is bounded
+
+from below, so that there is no insulating behavior without J . More important is the fact that
+
+when J = 0, there is a particular value k = k(J ) at which the DC conductivity vanishes, so
+
+that the theory behaves as an insulator. This property is one of the main results of [20, 21] in
+
+4 dim, and here we have reproduced it as well in 5 dim. Finally, we show in Fig. 2 the regime
+
+of parameters where the DC conductivity vanishes.

+4.3. Anomalous Transport
+In Sec. 4.2 we have studied some dissipative properties of the 5 dim massive gravity model. In order to study non-dissipative transport coefficients, we should introduce anomalous effects in the theory. As we explained in Sec. 3, anomalies are mimicked in the gravity side through ChernSimons terms. When extending the model of Eq. (13) with the Chern-Simons terms of Eq. (9), extra contributions appear in the equations of motion of the theory, in particular the term -2LP QR(M B F P LRB N) QR in the rhs of Eq. (14), and the terms MNP QR(FNP FQR + RA BNP RB AQR) in the rhs of Eq. (15). By using the following conventions

+
+Some remarks deserve to be mentioned at this point. On the one hand the chiral magnetic and vortical conductivities of charge currents, B and V , and the chiral vortical conductivity of energy current, V , are the same as in the massless gravity theory, see Table 1. This means that these anomalous conductivities are not affected by translational breaking effects, and this constitutes one of the most important results of this work. From this property, together with the result of Sec. 4.2, we conclude that there is a regime in the theory in which the DC conductivity vanishes, but the anomalous conductivities do not vanish. A consequence is that one can study the anomalous effects of these systems in this regime in a clean way. Let us finally mention that, contrary to the other coefficients, the chiral magnetic effect of energy current, B, has some dependence on k. The interpretation of this result is currently in progress. 6
+5 We show in these expressions the explicit dependence on the parameters  and  for an easier identification of the axial and gauge-gravitational anomaly contributions. One can compare with the results of Table 1 by considering  = 1/(162) and  = 1/(3842) in Eqs. (28)-(31). 6 Several hypotheses might be proposed for the dependence of B on the parameter k, including renormalization or gauge artefacts, as well as lack of unitarity of the theory. In addition, one cannot exclude the possibility that this might be due to a pathology of the model. In fact, it has been studied in the literature the thermodynamics of some massive gravity theories, and an intriguing result has been found related to the non-vanishing value of the entropy in the ground state (T = 0, � = 0), see [43].
+
+5. Discussion and conclusions In this work we have reviewed the role played by the chiral anomalies in the hydrodynamics of relativistic fluids. In particular, we have focused on the effects of external magnetic fields and vortices in the fluid, and characterized how the chiral anomalies contribute to the corresponding conductivities through the anomaly coefficients, Eq. (7). The anomalous conductivities turn out to be non-dissipative at first order in the hydrodynamic expansion.
+Massive gravity models have been introduced in the literature as holographic duals of disorder in condensed matter systems. By using the Kubo formalism, we have computed the transport properties in a massive gravity model with higher derivative corrections. We found an interesting regime in which the electric DC conductivity vanishes, but the anomalous conductivities turn out to be nonvanishing. Moreover, the anomalous transport seem to be unaffected by translational breaking effects. These and other issues will be addressed in more detail in a forthcoming publication [42].

+A precision measurement by AMS of the antiproton-to-proton flux ratio in primary cosmic rays in the absolute rigidity range from 1 to 450 GV is presented based on 3.49 � 105 antiproton events and 2.42 � 109 proton events. Above  60 GV the antiproton to proton flux ratio is consistent with being rigidity independent. A decreasing behaviour is expected for this ratio considering the traditional models for the secondary antiproton flux.

+
+The measurement of the antiproton-to-proton flux ratio in primary Cosmic Rays (CR) is reported in the absolute rigidity range 1-450 GV. This measurement is based on 3.49 �105 antiproton events and 2.42 �109 proton events collected by the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer, AMS [1�8], on the International Space Station, ISS, from May 19, 2011 to May 26, 2015. The experimental data on antiprotons are limited [9, 10] because of their very low flux intensity, up to this measurement only a few�103 antiprotons were observed in the cosmic radiation. In the measurement of the antiproton component of the cosmic radiation a very large background is expected from the most abundant proton one: for each antiproton there are approximately 104 protons, therefore, to measure the antiproton flux to 1% accuracy requires a separation power of  106. The sensitivity of antiprotons to exotic CR sources, as dark matter annihilations, as well as to new phenomena in the propagation of CR in the galaxy is complementary to the sensitivity of the measurements of CR positrons. In particular, AMS has accurately measured the excess in the positron fraction to 500 GeV [1, 2] and this data generated many interesting theoretical models including collisions of dark matter particles, astrophysical sources, and collisions of CR (see e.g. [11�18]). Some of these models also include specific predictions for the antiproton flux and the antiproton-to-proton flux ratio in CR.
+Detector. The description of the AMS detector is presented in [1�8]. All detector elements are used for particle identification in the present analysis: the silicon tracker TRK, the permanent magnet, the time of flight counters TOF, the anticoincidence counters ACC, the transition radiation detector TRD, the ring imaging Cherenkov detector RICH, and the electromagnetic calorimeter ECAL. The tracker, with its nine layers, is used to measure the rigidity R (momentum per unit of charge) of cosmic rays and to differentiate between positive and negative particles. The first layer (L1) is at the top of the detector, the second (L2) just above the magnet, six (L3 to L8) within the bore of the magnet, and the last (L9) just above the ECAL. L2 to L8 constitute the inner tracker. For |Z| = 1 particles the maximum detectable rigidity, MDR, is 2 TV and the charge resolution is Z = 0.05. The TOF measures |Z| and velocity with a resolution of

The insets indicate the matching of the track to the pulse heights measured in each layer of the tracker. This downward-going |Z| = 1 event is identified as an antiproton with R = -435 GV, T RD = 0.908, and CC = 0.983. See [7] for details.
+/2 = 4%. The ACC has 0.99999 efficiency to reject particles entering the inner tracker from the side. The TRD separates p� and p from e- and e+ using the T RD estimator constructed from the ratio of the log-likelihood probability of the e� hypothesis to that of the p� or p hypothesis in each layer. Antiprotons and protons, which have T RD  1, are efficiently separated from electrons and positrons, which have T RD  0.5. The RICH has a velocity resolution / = 0.1% for |Z| = 1 to ensure separation of p� and p from light particles (e� and �) below 10 GV. The ECAL is used to separate p� and p from e- and e+ when the event can be measured by the ECAL. Antiprotons are separated from charge confused protons, that is, protons which are reconstructed in the tracker with negative rigidity due to the finite tracker resolution or due to interactions with the detector materials, by means of a charge confusion estimator CC defined with a boosted decision tree technique [19]. The estimator combines information from the tracker such as

+
+the track 2/d.o.f., rigidities reconstructed with different combinations of tracker layers, the number of hits in the vicinity of the track, and the charge measurements in the TOF and the tracker. With this method, antiprotons, which have CC +1, are efficiently separated from charge confused protons, which have CC -1. An example of a 435 GV antiproton crossing the AMS sub-detectors is given in Fig. 1.
+Event selection and data samples. Over 65 billion CR events have been recorded in the first 48 months of AMS operations. Only events collected during normal detector operating conditions are used in this analysis. This includes the time periods when the AMS z axis is pointing within 40o of the local zenith and when the ISS is not in the South Atlantic Anomaly. Data analysis is performed in 57 absolute rigidity bins. The same binning as in our proton flux measurement [5] was chosen below 80.5 GV. Above 80.5 GV two to four proton bins are combined to ensure sufficient antiproton statistics. Events are selected requiring a track in the TRD and in the inner tracker and a measured velocity  > 0.3 in the TOF corresponding to a downward-going particle. To maximize the number of selected events while maintaining an accurate rigidity measurement, the acceptance is increased by releasing the requirements on the external tracker layers, L1 and L9. Below 38.9 GV neither L1 nor L9 is required. From 38.9 to 147 GV either L1 or L9 is required. From 147 to 175 GV only L9 is required. Above 175 GV both L1 and L9 are required. In order to maximize the accuracy of the track reconstruction, the 2/d.o.f. of the reconstructed track fit is required to be less than 10 both in the bending and nonbending projections. The dE/dx measurements in the TRD, the TOF, and the inner tracker must be consistent with |Z| = 1. To select only primary CR, the measured rigidity is required to exceed the maximum geomagnetic cutoff by a factor of 1.2 for either positive or negative particles within the AMS field of view. The cutoff is calculated by backtracing using the most recent IGRF geomagnetic model. Events satisfying the selection criteria are classified into two categories: positive and negative rigidity events. A total of 2.42 �109 events with positive rigidity are selected as protons. They are 99.9% pure protons with almost no background. Deuterons are not distinguished from protons, their contribution decreases with rigidity: at 1 GV it is less than 2% and at 20 GV it is 0.6%. The effective acceptance of this selection for protons is larger than in our proton flux publication [5]. This is because there is no strict requirement that selected particles pass through the tracker layers L1 and L9 (see above) leading to a much larger field of view at low rigidities and, therefore, to a significant increase in the number of protons. The negative rigidity event category comprises both antiprotons and several background sources: electrons, light negative mesons (- and a negligible amount of K-) produced in the in-
+
+teractions of primary CR with the detector materials, and charge confused protons. The contributions of the different background sources vary with rigidity. For example, light negative mesons are present only at rigidities below 10 GV, whereas charge confusion becomes noticeable only at high rigidities. Electron background is present at all rigidities. The combination of information from the TRD, TOF, tracker, RICH, and ECAL enables the efficient separation of the antiproton signal events from these background sources using a template fitting technique. The number of observed antiproton signal events and its statistical error in the negative rigidity sample are determined in each bin by fitting signal and background templates to data by varying their normalization. As discussed below, the template variables used in the fit are constructed using information from the TOF, tracker, and TRD. The distribution of the variables for the template definition is the same for antiprotons and protons if they are both reconstructed with a correct charge-sign. This similarity has been verified with the Monte Carlo simulation and the antiproton and proton data of 2.97  |R| < 18.0 GV. Therefore, the signal template is always defined using the high-statistics proton data sample. Three overlapping rigidity regions with different types of template function are defined to maximize the accuracy of the analysis: low absolute rigidity region (1.00-4.02 GV), intermediate region (2.97-18.0 GV), and high absolute rigidity region (16.6-450 GV). In the overlapping rigidity bins, the results with the smallest error are selected. At low rigidities, a cut on the TRD estimator T RD and the velocity measurement in the TOF are important to differentiate antiprotons from light particles (e- and -). Therefore, the mass distribution, calculated from the rigidity measurement in the inner tracker and the velocity measured by the TOF, is used to construct the templates and to differentiate between the antiproton signal and the background. The background e- and - templates are defined from the data sample selected using information from the TRD, the RICH, and also the ECAL, when the event can be measured by the ECAL. At intermediate rigidities, T RD and the velocity measured with the RICH RICH are used to separate the antiproton signal from light particles (e- and -). As an example, Fig. 2.a shows that the antiproton signal and the background are well separated in the (RICH - T RD) plane for the absolute rigidity range 5.4-6.5 GV. To determine the number of antiproton signal events, the - background is removed by a rigidity dependent RICH cut and the T RD distribution is used to construct the templates and to differentiate between the p� signal and e- background. The background template is defined from the e- data sample selected using ECAL. The Monte Carlo simulation matches the data for e- events inside the ECAL. The Monte Carlo simulation was then used to verify that the e- tem-

+plate shape outside the ECAL and inside the ECAL are identical. In the high rigidity region, the twodimensional (T RD - CC ) distribution is used to determine the number of antiproton signal events. The lower bound of CC is chosen for each bin to optimize the accuracy of the fit. For example, for |R| > 175 GV, CC  -0.6. Variation of the lower bound is included in the systematic errors discussed below. To fit the data three template shapes are defined. The first two are for antiprotons and electrons with correctly reconstructed charge sign and the last one is for charge confused protons. The background templates (i.e., electrons and charge confused protons) are from the Monte Carlo simulation. The Monte Carlo simulation of the charge confusion was verified with the 400 GV proton test beam data. An example of the fit to the data is shown in Figs. 2.b and 2.c for the rigidity bin 175-211 GV. The distribution of data in the (T RD - CC ) plane is shown in Fig. 2.b and the fit results showing the signal and background distributions is highlighted in Fig. 2.c. The 2 of the fit is 138 for 154 degrees of freedom. Overall, results for all 57 rigidity bins give a total of 3.49 �105 antiproton events in the data. Analysis.

+where A~pi /A~pi� is the ratio of folded acceptances. We note that the A~pi /A~pi� ratio decreases from 1.15 at 1 GV to 1.04 at 450 GV due to the varying difference of interaction cross sections for protons and antiprotons (and considering bin-to-bin event migration). With 3.49 �105 antiproton events, the accurate study of systematic errors is the key part of the present analysis, a detailed description can be found in [7]. Overall systematic error on the antiproton-to-proton flux ratio ranges from  8% at 1 GV to  13% in the last bin (259-450 GV) with a minimum of  2% in the intermediate rigidity range ( 30 GV) [7]. Results. The measured antiproton-to-proton flux ratio as a function of the absolute rigidity value at the top of the AMS is shown in Fig. 3. The AMS results, compared with earlier experiments, extend the rigidity range to 450 GV with increased precision. The inset Fig. 3 shows the low energy (< 10 GeV) part of the measured flux ratio. The measured values of (p�/p) flux ratio, together with the statistical and systematic errors can be found in Table I of Supplemental Material of [7] and is stored online in the ASI/ASDC cosmic ray database [20] as well as all the other published results from the AMS experiment. The statistical errors are obtained from the fit errors on the signal, and both statistical and systematic error contributions to the total error in the flux ratio vary with rigidity. For 1.00  |R| < 1.33 GV the statistical error dominates, for 1.33  |R| < 1.71 GV the errors are comparable, for 1.71  |R| < 48.5 GV the systematic error dominates, for 48.5  |R| < 108 GV the errors are comparable, and for 108  |R| < 450 GV statistical error dominates. To minimize the systematic error for this flux ratio we have used the 2.42 �109 protons selected with the same acceptance, time period, and absolute rigidity range as the antiprotons. From 10 to 450 GV, the values of the proton flux are identical to 1% to those in our publication [5]. As seen from Fig. 3 the (p�/p) flux ratio reaches a maximum at  20 GV and above 60 GV appears to be rigidity inde-

+pendent. To estimate the lowest rigidity above which the (p�/p) ratio is rigidity independent, we use rigidity intervals with starting rigidities from 10 GV and increasing bin by bin. The ending rigidity for all intervals is fixed at 450 GV. Each interval is split into two sections with a boundary between the starting rigidity and 450 GV. Each of the two sections is fit with a constant and we obtain two mean values of the (p�/p) ratio. The lowest starting rigidity of the interval that gives consistent mean values at the 90% C.L. for any boundary defines the lowest limit. This yields 60.3 GV as the lowest rigidity above which the (p�/p) flux ratio is rigidity independent with a mean value of 1.81
+
+� 0.04 �10-4. Further tests about the flatness of the measured ratio above  60 GV are described in [7]. It is interesting to note that traditional models for the secondary antiproton flux are predicting a decreasing behaviour for the (p�/p) flux ratio (see e.g [18]).

+Anomaly induced transport in non-anomalous currents

+Abstract. Quantum anomalies are one of the subtlest properties of relativistic field theories. They give rise to non-dissipative transport coefficients in the hydrodynamic expansion. In particular a magnetic field can induce an anomalous current via the chiral magnetic effect. In this work we explore the possibility that anomalies can induce a chiral magnetic effect in non-anomalous currents as well. This effect is implemented through an explicit breaking of the symmetries.

+The basic ingredients in the hydrodynamic approach are the constitutive relations, which are expressions of the energy-momentum tensor T �, and the charge currents J�, in terms of fluid quantities [1].
+These relations are supplemented with the hydrodynamic equations, which correspond to the con-
+servation laws of the currents. However, in presence of chiral anomalies the currents are no longer conserved, i.e. �T � 0 and �J� 0. This leads to very interesting non-dissipative phenomena that already appear at first order in the hydrodynamic expansion: the chiral magnetic effect, responsible
+for the generation of an electric current parallel to a magnetic field [2], and the chiral vortical effect, in
+which the current is induced by a vortex [3]. The constitutive relation for the charge currents then read
+
+J� = nu� + BB� + V� + � � � ,
+

+
+where n with the

+
+and V, have been studied in a wide variety of methods: these include Kubo formulae [4�6], diagram-
+
+matic methods [7], fluid/gravity correspondence [8�11], and the partition function formalism [12�15].
+
+It is already clear from these studies that the axial anomaly [16] and the mixed gauge-gravitational
+
+anomaly [17] are responsible for the previously mentioned non-dissipative effects.
+
+In this work we are going to focus on the Kubo formalism. The most significant result of anomalies
+
+is that they produce equilibrium currents, and the corresponding conductivities are defined via Kubo

+

+
+A similar formula involving the energy-momentum tensor was derived in [4] for the chiral vortical conductivity. In this work we use this formalism to study the chiral magnetic effect of anomalous conductivities. We will study the possibility that, under certain circumstances, this effect might be present in non-anomalous currents as well.
+
+2 The chiral magnetic and separation effects
+
+The chiral magnetic (CME) and chiral separation (CSE) effects are examples of anomalous transport.
+In the context of heavy ion collisions, a very strong magnetic field produced during a non-central
+collision induces a parity-odd charge separation which can be modelled by an axial chemical potential, and as a consequence an electric current parallel to the magnetic field is generated, leading to
+the CME [2, 16, 18]. On the other hand, chirally restored quark matter might give rise to an axial
+current parallel to a magnetic field, known as CSE [19]. These effects have been predicted as well in condensed matter systems, see e.g. [20, 21].
+Let us consider a theory of N chiral fermions transforming under a global symmetry group G generated by matrices (TA) f g. The chemical potential for the fermion  f is given by � f = A qAf �A, while the Cartan generator is HA = qAf  f g where qAf are the charges. The general form of the anomalous induced currents by a magnetic field is
+
+Ja = (B)abBb ,
+
+(3)
+
+where Bb is the magnetic field corresponding to symmetry b. The 1-loop computation of the chiral magnetic conductivity by using the Kubo formula of Eq. (2) leads to [6, 16, 17]

+where dabc is the group theoretic factor related to the axial anomaly, which typically appears in the
+
+computation of the anomalous triangle diagram corresponding to three non-abelian gauge fields cou-
+
+pled to a chiral fermion. The subscripts R, L stand for the contributions of right-handed and left-
+
+handed fermions. Anomalies are responsible for a non-vanishing value of the divergence of the cur-
+
+rent, that reads in this case [22]

+
+Let us particularize Eq. (3) to the symmetry group UV (1) � UA(1). Then there are vector and axial

+
+which correspond to the CME and CSE respectively. The question then arises: is it possible to get a chiral magnetic effect for a non-anomalous sym-
+metry w? This means to have an induced current in symmetry w, i.e.
+
+Jw 0 with dwab = dawb = dabw = 0 a, b.
+

+
+In the rest of the manuscript we will study the possibility that anomalies can induce transport also in non-anomalous currents.

+3 Holographic model
+
+The Kubo formula Eq. (2) has been computed in [23�25] at strong coupling within a Einstein-Maxwell model in 5 dim. In order to account for the anomalous effects, the model is supplemented with ChernSimons (CS) terms. In this work we will restrict to a pure gauge CS term, which mimics the axial anomaly.

+
+3.1 Holographic model with symmetry breaking
+
+In the following we are going to study the possibility that the constitutive relation for JW� receives anomalous contributions. Let us extend the model of Eq. (8) with the contribution (S tot = S + S )
+
+1 S  = 16G
+
+d5 x -g - |DM|2 - m22 ,
+
+DM = [M - i(AM - WM)]  ,
+
+(13)
+
+where  is a scalar field with a tachyonic bulk mass m2 = ( - 4), and 0    4. S  produces an explicit breaking of A and W symmetries via the scalar field . From the AdS/CFT dictionary, the
+model is the holographic dual of a Conformal Field Theory (CFT) with a deformation
+
+L = LCFT +  O ,
+
+(14)
+
+where O is an operator dual of the scalar field with dim O = , and  is the source of the operator with dim  = 4 - . The near boundary expansion of  reads
+
+(r) = 4-r-4 + r- + � � � ,
+
+r  ,
+
+1We use the notation for capital indices M  {r, t, x, y, z}, and Greek indices �  {t, x, y, z}.
+
+(15)
+
+EPJ Web of Conferences
+
+where 4- is interpreted as the source , and  as the condensate O . In the following we will choose  = 3, so that the bulk mass is m2 = -3. The explicit breaking of symmetries is realized
+via the boundary term limr r � (r) = M, where we have identified the mass parameter M with the
+source in Eq. (15). Our goal is to study the induced currents
+
+JV = V (M)B , JA = A(M)B , JW = W (M)B ,
+
+(16)
+
+where one expects a dependence of the conductivities in M. A non zero value for W (M) would signal the existence of a non-anomalous current induced by anomalies.
+
+3.2 Background equations of motion
+
+We will work in the probe limit, so that the metric fluctuations are neglected. The equations of motion
+
+of the background (gMN , V M, AM, W M, ) can be solved by considering the AdS Schwarzschild

+
+(18)
+
+The chemical potentials are computed as �Y  Yt(r  ) - Yt(rh) with Y = V, A, W. Then, the fields have the following near boundary expansion

+4 Conductivities in presence of symmetry breaking
+
+The Kubo formulae for the conductivities appearing in Eq. (16) are:
+
+Y
+
+i = lim
+pz pz
+
+(JY )x(JV )y
+
+|=0 ,
+
+with Y = V, A, W .
+
+(25)
+
+These involve retarded correlators which can be computed by using the AdS/CFT dictionary, see e.g. [5, 26�28]. We will explain in this section the computation in some details.
+
+4.1 Fluctuations
+
+Without loss of generality we consider perturbations of momentum p in the z-direction at zero fre-
+
+quency. To study the effect of anomalies it is enough to consider the shear sector, i.e. transverse
+
+momentum fluctuations,
+
+K� = K�(r) + k�(r)eipzz , � = x, y ,
+
+(26)
+
+where K�(r) refers to the background solutions computed in Sec. 3.2 for any of the fields V, A1,2 (or V, A and W), and k�(r) are the corresponding fluctuations v, a1,2 (or v, a and w).
+In studying the fluctuations it is useful to organize the equations of motion according to their
+helicity under the transverse SO(2) rotation, which is a left-over symmetry. The equations for the fluctuations of the gauge fields are then classified into helicity �1, and at order O() they read 2

+where the fields are defined as v� = vx�ivy and (a1,2)� = (a1,2)x�i(a1,2)y. In order to obtain the retarded correlation functions we should perform a low momentum expansion of the fluctuation solutions, i.e.
+
+v� = v(�0) + pzv(�1) + � � � ,
+
+(a1,2)� = (a1,2)(�0) + pz(a1,2)(�1) + � � � .
+
+(30)
+
+From Eqs. (27)-(29) one gets the corresponding equations at order O(p0z ) and O(pz), which can be solved by imposing the appropriate boundary conditions for the fluctuation fields. In general we should consider regularity of the fields up to the horizon, and the sourceless condition, which means
+that the fluctuations cannot modify the background fields at the boundary. Then
+
+k�(rh) = finite , k�(r  ) = 0 ,
+
+(31)
+
+for any of the fluctuation fields k� = v� or (a1,2)�. The only fluctuation that can be computed analytically is (a2)�, and the solution at order O(pz) reads

+The sourceless condition for the fluctuations imply C0,v = C0,a1 = C0,a2 = 0. The other coefficients C2, C2 can be obtained from a numerical solution of the equations of motion of the fluctuations.
+
+4.2 Conductivities

+so that both symmetries A1 and A2 have a CS interaction. The scalar field however breaks only A1. At M = 0 there will be CSE for both A1 and A2, but for large M, A1 will be badly broken and the CSE in the J1 current goes to zero. 3 Since 1 vanishes at M  , we find from Eq. (37) the second property.

+5 Discussion and outlook
+In this work we have studied the role played by the axial anomaly in the hydrodynamics of relativistic fluids in presence of external magnetic fields. The anomalous conductivities have been computed by using Kubo formulae. The most interesting result is the characterization of a novel phenomenon related to the possibility that, when symmetries are explicitly broken, anomalies can induce transport effects not only in anomalous currents, but also in non-anomalous ones, i.e. those with a vanishing divergence. We have studied this phenomenon at strong coupling in a holographic Einstein-Maxwell model in 5 dim supplemented with a pure gauge Chern-Simons term. The symmetry breaking is introduced through a scalar field which is dual to an operator O with dim O = 3.
+We plan to extend this study to other anomalous coefficients, like the chiral vortical conductivity. In addition, it would be interesting to check whether the mixed gauge-gravitational anomaly could induce any effect as well in non-anomalous currents. These and other issues will be addressed in detail in a forthcoming publication [30].

+Exactly solvable model for self-assembly of hard core - soft shell particles at interfaces
+Alina Ciach and Jakub Pe�kalski Institute of Physical Chemistry, Polish Academy of Sciences,
+Kasprzaka 44/52, 01-224 Warsaw, Poland
+Abstract
+A lattice model with soft repulsion followed by attraction is developed for a monolayer of hybrid core-shell particles self-assembling at an interface. The model is solved exactly in one dimension. One, two or three periodic structures and variety of shapes of the pressure-density isotherms may occur in different versions of the model. For strong interactions the isotherm consists of vertical segments separated by plateaus. The range of order depends strongly on the strength of attraction and on the density. Our results agree with experimental observations.

+
+Hybrid hard-core soft-shell particles (HCSS) consisting of solid cores encapsulated in a cross-linked hydrogel network can self-assemble into ordered patterns on air-water or oilwater interfaces [1�7]. Highly ordered arrays of particles with cores having desired properties can find applications in various fields, e.g. in surface patterning [8], photovoltaics [9], plasmonics [10], sensing [11] and emulsion stabilization [2], and the question how to obtain desired ordered patterns draws increasing attention.
+The patterns and the degree of order depend on the core and shell properties, as well as on the surface pressure. For pure poly-N-isopropylacrylamide (PNIPAM) particles [12] and for hybrid Au@PNIPAM particles with small Au cores [1], similar patterns at the airwater interface and similar surface pressure - area isotherms were obtained. In both systems the particles form a hexagonal lattice. The surface pressure p increases with a moderate slope for a large range of decreasing area; the moderate increase of p is followed by a rapid increase, a plateau and another rapid increase in a compressed monolayer. In the case of silica@PNIPAM particles with relatively large silica cores adsorbed at the water-oil interface [6], more complex patterns are formed at large pressure. Moreover, the surface pressure - area isotherms are quite different than in the cases of the pure PNIPAM and Au@PNIPAM particles. The isotherms of the silica@PNIPAM particles have a characteristic shape of alternating segments with very large and quite small slope. The pressure range at the steep parts of p() depends on the shell thickness. Notably, the nearly vertical segments of p occur for the area fraction of the particles, , corresponding to quite small area fraction of their cores. A natural question arises why for a few values of  a very large increase of p is required to induce any increase of the area fraction, while for area fractions intermediate between these distinguished values the compressibility of the monolayer is very large. The fundamental question if the different patterns correspond to thermodynamically stable phases, and the plateaus indicate phase transitions remains open.
+To the best of our knowledge there have been no attempts to develop a theory for the self-assembly of the HCSS particles adsorbed at an interface that would guide experimental studies. Here we construct a coarse-grained model based on experimental observations. Model systems with two dimensional (2D) patterns can be studied either by simulations or by approximate theoretical methods. The simulations of self-assembling systems are strongly influenced by finite size effects, and in theoretical studies the approximations may lead to incorrect results. In order to avoid possible inaccuracies resulting from approximations, we
+2
+
+introduce a one-dimensional (1D) lattice model that can be solved exactly. To construct a coarse-grained model for the HCSS particles adsorbed at an interface, we
+take into account that at low area fraction the particles form a hexagonal lattice, and when  further decreases, then the ordered structure remains unchanged, and coexists with voids [6]. This suggests an attractive potential with a well-defined minimum at the separation r = a. One source of the attraction may be a water "cap" formed above the hydrophilic polymers grafted on the nanoparticle [6]. The caps lead to undulated interface with increased area, and this area increase is larger for particles at large separations than for particles whose shells overlap. The minimization of the surface-tension contribution to the free energy leads to effective attraction between the particles when their distance is larger than their diameter a. Attraction might result from the van der Waals interactions between the monomers too [13]. On the other hand, when the shells of the two particles overlap, they repel each other. The repulsion increases with decreasing distance between the particles. Because the polymeric chains become compressed near the hard cores, the distance of the closest approach of two core-shell particles, , is larger than the diameter of the solid core, and depends on the number and length of the grafted polymeric chains, and on cross-linking.
+Based on the above facts, we conclude that the effective interaction between the particles consists of the steric repulsion at the distances r smaller than , next of a soft repulsion for  < r < a, and finally of an attraction for r > a [6].
+In Ref. [6] monolayers of three types of HCSS particles with the same silica cores and diameters a  450nm, 680nm for the smallest and the largest shell were investigated. Based on the histograms for the nearest-neighbor distance in monolayers under large pressure [14], we can expect that in each case a/  2 - 3, and the potential has a shape shown schematically in Fig.1.
+We assume that the incompressible cores of the particles occupy lattice sites with the lattice constant . The steric repulsion leads to forbidden multiple occupancy of the lattice sites. We assume that the nearest-neighbors on the lattice repel each other with the strength Jr > 0 (soft shell). In order to compare shells with different thicknesses, we consider two variants of the model. In the first one the second neighbors attract each other and the corresponding potential has the strength -Ja, with Ja > 0. For larger separations the effective potential vanishes. On the 1D lattice the potential is given by

+are denoted by x = r/ and x = r/, and take integer values. In the second variant of
+
+the model the potential changes sign for the second neighbors, and is given by Eq.(1) with
+
+n = 3 (model II).
+
+We consider an open system with fixed chemical potential of the particles, �p, and fixed
+
+temperature T . We assume that the lattice consists of L sites labeled from 1 to L, and
+
+consider periodic boundary conditions (L + 1  1, 0  L). We introduce an occupation
+
+operator ^(x) which is equal to 1 or 0 when the site x is occupied or not, respectively.
+
+Hence, the configuration of the system is given by {^(x)}  (^(1), ..., ^(L)). Since each site
+
+can be either occupied or empty, there are 2L configurations, and each of them occurs with
+
+the probability

+The energy of adsorption of a single particle at the interface, h, is included in � = �p + h. The grand potential is given by
+

+
+(5)
+
+where p is the 1D pressure. We also calculate the dimensionless number density  = ^(x) (length fraction of the cores) and the correlation function,
+
+g(x) =
+
+^(x)^(x + x) ^(x) ^(x + x)
+
+,
+
+(6)
+
+with the probability distribution (2). Because of translational invariance, ^(x) is independent of x, and g depends only on x.
+In the first step we determine the ground state (GS), i.e. the structure at T = 0. For T = 0, the grand potential reduces to the minimum of H[{^(x)}]/L. We find the minimum of H[{^(x)}]/L by comparison of H[{^(x)}]/L for empty and fully occupied lattice, and for different periodic structures.
+In the second step we consider T > 0, using the transfer matrix method [15]. For the interaction range n

+
+The matrix T is a finite matrix with positive elements, therefore 1 is non-degenerate. Thus, for given � Eq.(8) yields a unique value of pressure, p(�). The average density (�) can be expressed in terms of the matrix P transforming T to its eigenbasis [15]. By eliminating � from p(�) and (�), we obtain p(). The correlation function can be expressed in terms of P
+

+

+
+(9)
+
+When 2 is real and positive, the decay is monotonic. Because T is not symmetric, pairs of complex-conjugate eigenvalues for i > 1 may occur. The pair of complex-conjugate
+
+eigenvalues for i = 2, 3 leads to oscillatory decay of correlations, with the asymptotic form

+
+where the wave number  is the phase of the complex eigenvalue 2 = |2|ei, and Ai and i depend on P and on i = mod(x, n) [15].
+Let us start by discussing the GS. It turns out that in model I only one periodic structure with alternating empty and occupied sites, �o�o�o..., and the unit cell (�o) may occur. By � we denote an occupied site, i.e. the uncompressible core of the particle. The GS of model I is shown in Fig.2a in variables (�� = �/Ja, J� = Jr/Ja). In model II, three periodic structures

+The results for p() are shown in Figs.3,4. In both models, nearly vertical segments for   p are separated by nearly horizontal segments for  = p, when the interactions are sufficiently strong. For model I, there exists only one segment of the p() curve with a very large slope (apart from   1), consistent with the single periodic phase at T = 0.

+
+In model II, the nearly vertical segments of p() are present for   1/3, 2/3, consistent with the GS structures (�oo) and (��o). When J� > 3, a third "step" at  = 1/2 appears (Fig.4b). For fixed J�, the pressure range for   p increases with increasing Ja (Fig.4a),
+7
+
+whereas for fixed Ja/(kBT ) and increasing J� the pressure range increases significantly only at the central step. This behavior is consistent with the GS, where the (�o) phase is stable for the range of the chemical potential that increases for increasing J�. Quite surprisingly, when Ja/(kBT ) is fixed and J� > 3, p() is nearly independent of J� for  < 1/2.
+We have found that g(x) is given by (10), with the period of oscillations 2/  2 for   1/2 and 2/  3 otherwise, in agreement with the GS structures. The correlation length is very large for  = p, and increases rapidly for increasing Ja (Fig.5). However, when  departs slightly from p,  decreases by orders of magnitude and becomes independent of Ja for 1/3 <  < 2/3. Slight deviations from p lead to dramatic decrease of order in this range of density. For  < 1/3 or  > 2/3,  decreases much more slowly for  departing form p. Moreover,  depends very strongly on Ja and very weakly on J� for  < 1/3 or  > 2/3.

+
+We have obtained remarkably rich behavior from the very simple model (1). One, two or three periodic structures with the corresponding vertical segments of p() can occur, depending on the ranges and strengths of the repulsive and attractive parts of the potential. Phase transitions and long-range order are absent for T > 0 in 1D models with finite range of interactions. Our results obtained in such a model show that the plateaus in the p() curve can be present even in the absence of true thermodynamic phase transitions. The short-range order in the disordered phase mimics the long-range order of the phase stable
+
+8
+
+at lower T (at T = 0 in 1D), and the range of this order can be orders of magnitude larger than .
+The strength of attraction plays a key role in formation of ordered patterns and in the shape of the pressure-area isotherm for small densities. In contrast, for densities larger than the close packing density of the soft particles, the repulsion determines the shape of p() and the range of order.
+Our results agree surprisingly well with experiments. The isotherm obtained in Ref.[1] for small Au cores has the shape that agrees with the isotherm shown in Fig.4a for Ja = 2.5kBT . For increasing density, the sequence of very small, moderate, very large, very small, and again very large slope of the pressure is found in both cases. The alternating steep and shallow segments obtained in Ref.[6] for larger silica cores agree with the curves obtained in our model for stronger attraction. In Ref. [6] and in our model (Fig.5), the samples with density larger than the density of close packing are less ordered. Increase of the particle diameter a leads to increase of both, the range of order for small area fractions, and the pressure range at the corresponding vertical segment of the isotherm [6]. In our model such behavior is found for increasing Ja (Figs.5,4a). This observation indicates that the attraction increases with increasing a, and supports the conjecture that the attraction in Ref. [6] results from the surface-tension contribution to the free energy.
+Our results indicate that if ordered structures are desired, one should try to increase the strength of the attractive part of the interactions, and choose area fraction of particles approaching the close-packing density from below. For denser systems the density should be fixed with extremely high precision to achieve large correlation length.
+Models with repulsive shoulder followed by attractive well were studied before in different contexts [16�19]. In particular, multiple phase transitions[16, 17] and water anomalies were obtained [18, 19]. Our results show that a potential of this kind (Fig.1) is also able to reproduce the main features of the HCSS particles self-assembling at interfaces.
+The isotherms very similar to Fig.3 were obtained for the 1D model with short-range attraction and long-range repulsion (SALR) [15], and for the 1D model of aqueous solution of amphiphilic molecules [20]. In model I and in Ref. [15, 20] a single phase with periodic arrangement of the particles, clusters or micelles was found in the GS. The periodic order is reflected in a very large slope of the pressure for the density or concentration optimal for the periodic structure, independently of the kind of ordering objects and the source of competing
+9
+
+interactions. Such universal properties can be correctly predicted by generic models, and models like the one introduced in this work can guide future experiments.

+Viability theorem for deterministic mean field type control systems

+arXiv:1701.00089v3 [math.OC] 11 Apr 2017
+
+Abstract
+A mean field type control system is a dynamical system in the Wasserstein space describing an evolution of a large population of agents with mean-field interaction under a control of a unique decision maker. We develop the viability theorem for the mean field type control system. To this end we introduce a set of tangent elements to the given set of probabilities. Each tangent element is a distribution on the tangent bundle of the phase space. The viability theorem for mean field type control systems is formulated in the classical way: the given set of probabilities on phase space is viable if and only if the set of tangent distributions intersects with the set of distributions feasible by virtue of dynamics. MSC classifications: 49Q15, 93C10, 49J53, 46G05, 90C56. Keywords: Viability theorem; mean field type control system; tangent distribution; nonsmooth analysis in the Wasserstein space.
+
+1 Introduction
+
+The theory of mean field type control system is concerned with a control problem for a large population of agents with mean-field interaction governed by a unique decision maker. This topic is closely related with the theory of mean field games proposed by Lasry and Lions in [22], [23] and simultaneously by Huang, Caines and Malham� [19]. The mean field game theory studies the Nash equilibrium for the large population of independent agents. The similarities and differences between mean field games and mean field type control problems are discussed in [9], [15].
+The study of mean field type control systems started with paper [1]. Now the mean field type control systems are examined with the help of the classical methods of the optimal control theory. The existence theorem for optimal controls is proved in [20]. An analog of Pontryagin maximum principle is obtained in [3], [9], [12], [13], [24]. Papers

+[8], [9], [27] are concerned with the dynamical programming for mean field type control systems. It is well known that the dynamic programming principle leads to Bellman equation. For the mean field type control problems the Bellman equation is a partial differential equation on the space of probabilities [9], [10], [14]. Results of [26] states that the value function of the optimal control problem for mean field type control system is a viscosity solution of the Bellman equation. The link between the minimum time function and the viscosity solutions of the corresponding Bellman equation for the special case when the dynamics of each agent is deterministic and depends only on her state is derived in [16].
+The viability theory provides a different tool to study optimal control problems (see [6], [28] and references therein). In particular, for systems governed by ordinary differential equations the epigraph and hypograph of the value function are viable under certain differential inclusions [28]. Now the viability theory is developed for the wide range of dynamical systems (see [5], [6], [7] and reference therein). The key result of the viability theory is the reformulation of the viability property in the terms of tangent vectors. In particular, this theorem implies the description of the value function of optimal control problem via directional derivatives, whereas the viscosity solutions are formulated using sub- and superdifferentials. We refer to [28] for the equivalence between these two approaches for systems governed by ordinary differential equations.
+Actually, the viability theorem for the dynamical systems in the Wasserstein space was first proved in [4]. The system examined in that paper arises in the optimal control problem with the probabilistic knowledge of initial condition. It is described by the linear Liouville equation. The viability theorem proved in [4] relies on embedding of the probabilities into the space of random variables and it is formulated via normal cones.
+In the paper we prove the viability theorem for the deterministic mean field type control system of the general form. To this end we introduce a set of tangent elements to the given set. Each tangent element is a distribution on the tangent bundle of the phase space. The viability theorem for mean field type control systems is formulated in the classical way: the given set of probabilities on phase space is viable if and only if the set of tangent distributions intersects with the set of distributions feasible by virtue of the dynamics.
+The result of the paper involves the probabilities on the tangent bundle of the phase space first such probabilities were studied in [18]. Notice that for the Banach case the notions of set of tangent vectors (tangent cone) and subdifferential to a real-valued functions are closely related [25]. The subdifferential to a real-valued function defined on the Wasserstein space is introduced in [2, �10.3]. The link between this subdifferential and the set of tangent distributions introduced in the paper is the subject of the future research.
+The paper is organized as follows. In Section 2 we introduce the general notations. The examined class of the dynamical systems is presented in Section 3. The viability theorem is formulated in Section 4. The auxiliary lemmas are introduced in Section 5.

+2 Preliminaries
+
+Given a metric space (X, X ), a set K  X, x  X, and a  0 denote by Ba(x) the ball of radius a centered in x. If X is a normed space and x is origin, we write simply Ba instead of Ba(0). Further, denote
+dist(x, K) inf{X(x, x) : x  K}.
+If (X, X ) is a separable metric space, then denote by P1(X) the set of probabilities m on X such that, for some (and, consequently, for all) x  X,
+
+X (x, x)m(dx) < .
+X
+If m1, m2  P1(X), then define 1-Wasserstein metric by the rule:
+
+W1(m1, m2) = inf
+
+X (x1, x2)(d(x1, x2)) :   (m1, m2)
+
+X �X
+
+(1)
+
+= sup (x)m1(dx) - (x)m2(dx) :   Lip1(X) .
+
+X
+
+X
+
+Here (m1, m2) is the set of plans between m1 and m2, i.e.
+
+(m1, m2) {  P1(X � X) : (A � X) = m1(A), (X � A) = m2(A) for any mesurable A  X},
+
+Lip(X) denotes the set of -Lipschitz continuous functions on X. If   P1(X � Y ), where (Y, Y ) is a separable metric space, then denote by (�|x) a
+conditional probability on Y given x that is a weakly measurable mapping x  (�|x)  P1(Y ) obtained by disintegration of  along its marginal on X.
+If (1, F1), (2, F2) are measurable spaces, m is a probability on (1, F1), h : 1  2 is measurable, then denote by h#m a probability on (2, F2) given by the rule: for any A  F2,
+(h#m)(A) m(h-1(A)).
+For simplicity we assume that the phase space is the d-dimensional torus Td = Rd/Zd. Recall that the tangent space to Td is Rd.
+Let Cs,r denote C([s, r]; Td). Note that

+W1(et#1, et#2)  W1(1, 2).

+3 Mean field differential inclusions
+
+This paper in concerned with the mean field type control problem for deterministic case. This is a dynamical system on a space of probabilities, where the state of the system is given by the probability m(t) obeying the following equation: for all   C (Td ),
+d (x)m(t, dx) = f (x, m(t), u(t, x)), (x) m(t, dx). dt Td
+Here u(t, x) is a control policy. This equation can be rewritten in the operator form
+
+d dt
+
+m(t)
+
+=
+
+f (�, m(t), u(t, �)),  m(t),
+
+(3)
+
+Control system (3) describes the evolution of a large population of agents when the dynamics of each agent is given by
+
+d dt
+
+x(t)
+
+=
+
+f (x(t),
+
+m(t),
+
+u(t)).
+
+(4)
+
+There are two ways of the relaxation of the control problem. The first approach relies on measure-valued control. For mean field control systems, it was developed in several papers. Within the framework of this approach the existence result of the optimal control problem is obtained [20]. Additionally, this approach permits the study of the limit of many particle systems [21]. We will use the second approach. It is more convenient in the viewpoint of the viability theory. The main idea of the second approach is to replace the original control system with the corresponding differential inclusion. Applying this method to the mean field type control system, we formally replace system (3) with the mean field type differential inclusion (MFDI)
+
+d dt
+
+m(t)
+
+
+
+F (�, m(t)),  m(t).
+
+(5)
+
+Here F (x, m) co{f (x, m, u) : u  U}, symbol � stands for the state variable.
+
+Definition 1. We say that the function [0, T ]  t  m(t)  P1(Td) is a solution to (5) if there exists a probability   P1(C0,T ) such that
+
+1. m(t) = et#;
+
+2. any x(�)  supp() is absolutely continuous and, for a.e. t  [0, T ],
+
+x  F (x(t), m(t)).
+
+(6)
+
+4
+
+Remark 1. The introduced definition of the solutions to the mean field type differential
+inclusion corresponds to the control problem for a large population of agents. It includes
+the solutions defined by selectors of right-hand side of (5). This means that if the flow of probabilities [0, T ]  t  m(t)P(Td) is such that there exists a function w : [0, T ]�Td  Rd satisfying the following properties
+
+� w(t, x)  F (x, m(t)),
+
+�   C1([0, T ] � Td)
+
+T
+
+(t, x)
+
+0 Td
+
+t + w(t, x), (t, x) m(t, dx)dt = 0,
+
+then by [2, Theorem 8.2.1] m(�) solves (5) in the sense of Definition 1 under weak assumptions on f and U.
+Remark 2. There is a natural link between the solution of MFDI (5) and the relaxed controls of (3). Recall that a relaxed controls for a system described by a ordinary differential equation is a probability  on [0, T ] � U with the marginal on [0, T ] equal to Lebesgue measure. Denote by U the set of relaxed controls. Given flow of probabilities m(�), initial state y  Td and relaxed control   U denote by x[�, m(�), y, ] the solution of the equation
+
+x(t) = y +
+
+f (x( ), m( ), u)1[0,t]( )(d(, u)).
+
+(7)
+
+[0,T ]�U
+
+The function x[�, m(�), y, ] is a motion of the system (4) generated by the relaxed control . Further, let  be a probability on Rd � U. We say that [0, T ]  t  m(t)  P1(Td) is a flow of probabilities generated by  if the marginal distribution of  on Rd
+is equal to m(0) and, for any t  [0, T ],
+
+m(t) = x[t, m(�), �, �]#.
+
+(8)
+
+If the existence and uniqueness theorem for (7) holds true, then the solutions to (3) determined by (8) is equivalent to the deterministic variant of the definition of solutions to the controlled McKean-Vlasov equation proposed in [21].
+Using [29, Theorem VI.3.1], one can prove under the conditions imposed below that m(�) is a flow of probabilities generated by a certain distribution of relaxed controls  if and only if m(�) is a solution to MFDI (5).
+We put the following conditions:
+
+1. F (x, m) = co{f (x, m, u) : u  U}, where f is a continuous function defined on Td � P1(Td) � U with values in Rd;
+
+2. U is compact;
+
+5
+
+3. there exists a constant L such that, for all x1, x2  Td, m1, m2  P1(Td), u  U , f (x1, m1, u) - f (x2, m2, u)  L( x1 - x2 + W1(m1, m2)).
+
+Note that since Td, P1(Td) are compact and the function f is continuous, one can find a constant R such that, for any v  F (x, m), x  Td, m  P1(Td),
+
+v  R.
+
+(9)
+
+Further, for any v  Rd, x, x  Td, m, m  P1(Td),
+
+|dist(v, F (x, m)) - dist(v, F (x,2 ))|  L( x - x + W1(m, m)).
+
+(10)
+
+Additionally, if s, r  [0, T ], s < r, y, y  Rd, x(�), x(�) : [s, r]  Td, m(�), m(�) : [s, r]  P1(Td) are integrable, then
+
+r
+
+r
+
+dist y, F (x(t), m(t)dt - dist y, F (x(t), m(t)dt
+
+s
+
+s
+
+r
+
+(11)
+
+ y - y + L ( x(t) - x(t) + W1(m(t), m(t)))dt.
+
+s
+
+Under the imposed conditions, one can prove that, for any m0  P1(Td), and any T > 0, there exists at least one flow of probabilities m(�) solving to MFDI (5) on [0, T ] such that m(0) = m0.
+
+4 Statement of the Viability theorem
+
+Definition 2. We say that K  P1(Td) is viable under MFDI (5) if, for any m0  K, there exist T > 0 and a solution to MFDI (5) on [0, T ] m(�) such that m(0) = m0, and m(t)  K for all t  [0, T ].
+To characterize the viable sets we introduce the notion of tangent probability to a set (see Definition 3 below).
+To this end denote by L(m) the set of probabilities  on Td � Rd such that its marginal distribution on Td is equal to m and
+
+v (d(x, v)) < .
+Td �Rd
+We introduce the metric on L(m) in the following way. Let 1, 2  L(m), denote by (1, 2) the set of probabilities  on Td � Rd � Rd such that, for any measurable A  Td, C1, C2  Rd, the following equalities hold true:
+(A � C1 � Rd) = 1(A � C1), (A � Rd � C2) = 2(A � C2).
+Define W(1, 2) by the rule
+
+W(1, 2) inf
+
+v1 - v2 (d(x, v1, v2)) :   (1, 2) . (12)
+
+Td �Rd �Rd
+
+6
+
+Proposition 1. The following statements hold true:
+
+1. W is a metric on L(m);
+
+2. L(m) with metric W is complete;
+
+3. for any positive constant a, the set {  L(m) : supp()  Td � Ba} is compact in L(m).
+
+This proposition follows from Propositions A1, A2 and Corollary A1 proved in the
+
+Appendix.
+
+Further, for  > 0, define the operator  : Td � Rd  Td by the rule: for (x, v) 
+
+Td � P1(Td),
+
+ (x, v) x +  v.
+
+(13)
+
+If   L(m), then  # is a shift of m through .
+
+Definition 3. We say that   L(m) is a tangent probability to K at m  P1(Td) if there exists a sequence {n} n=1 such that
+
+1 n
+
+dist(n # ,
+
+K)
+
+
+
+0,
+
+n  0 as n  .
+
+Remark 3. For a  R, let the rescaling operation Sa : Td � Rd  Td � Rd map a pair (x, v) to (x, av). Note that SaSb = Sab. Define the scalar multiplication on L(m) by the
+rule: a �  Sa#.
+
+Under this definition the set TK(m) becomes a cone. Indeed, for a > 0, the mapping   Sa# is a one-to-one transform of L(m).
+Furthermore, for any positive numbers  and a,
+
+/a#(Sa#) =  #.
+Thus, if   TK(m), a > 0, then a �  = Sa#  TK(m). Remark 4. Generally, given K  P1(Td), m  P1(Td),   TK(m), one can not find a function w : Td  Rd such that
+
+(d(x, v)) = w(x)m(dx)dv,
+
+(14)
+
+i.e. there is no embedding of the set TK(m) into the set of measurable functions on Td with valued on Rd. Indeed, let d = 1, K = {(1/2-t + 1/2+t)/2 : t  [0, ]}. Here 
+stands for the Dirac measure concentrated at . In this case,
+
+TK (1/2) = {((1/2,-1)/2 + (1/2,+1))/2}
+
+and representation (14) does not hold true.
+

+
+Denote by F (m) the set of probabilities   L(m) such that
+
+dist(v, F (x, m))(d(x, v)) = 0.
+Td �Rd
+Theorem 1 (Viability theorem). A closed set K  P1(Td) is viable under MFDI (5) if and only if, for any m  K,
+
+TK(m)  F (m) = .

+
+The Viability theorem is proved in Sections 6, 7. The proof relies on auxiliary constructions and lemmas introduced in the next section.
+
+5 Properties of tangents probabilities
+Let (X1, 1), (X2, 2), (X3, 3) be separable metric spaces. Let 1,2, 2,3 be probabilities on X1 � X2 and X2 � X3, respectively. Assume that 1,2 and 2,3 have the same marginal distributions on X2. Define the probability 1,2  2,3  P(X1 � X3) by the rule: for all   Cb(X1 � X3),
+(x1, x3)1,22,3(d(x1, x3))
+X1 �X3
+(x1, x3)2,3(dx3|x2)1,2(d(x1, x2)).
+X1�X2 X3
+The operation (1,2, 2,3)  (1,2)  2,3 is a composition of probabilities. In [2] it is denoted by 2,31,2 due to the natural analogy with the composition of functions. However, we prefer the designation 1,2  2,3 because it explicitly points out the marginals of the compositions of probabilities. Remark 5. If (X4, 4) is a metric space, 3,4 is a probability on X3 � X4 such that marginal distributions of 2,3 and 3,4 on X3 coincides, then
+(1,2  2,3)  3,4 = 1,2  (2,3  3,4).
+Note that if m,m is a plan between m and m,   L(m), then m,m    L(m).
+Lemma 1. If  > 0, m, m  P1(Td), m,m  (m, m) is an optimal plan between m and m,   L(m), then

+The following lemma is a cornerstone of the sufficiency part of the Viability theorem. It is analogous to [5, Lemma 3.4.3].
+Lemma 3. Assume that K  Td is compact and (15) is fulfilled. Then, for each natural n, one can find a number n  (0, 1/n) such that, for any m  K, there exist s  (n, 1/n),   L(m) and   K satisfying the following properties:

+dist(v, F (x, m))(d(x, v)) < 1/n.

+
+Proof. First, notice that, given probability �  K, and natural n, there exist a time r�  (0, 1/n) and a probability ^�  TK(�)  L(�) such that

+dist(r�#^�, K)

+Let En(�) be a subset of P1(Td) such that, for any m  En(�), there exists a probability   L(m) satisfying the following conditions:

+Note that � belongs to En(�). Thus,

+
+Now we show that each set En(�) is open. To this end we prove that, for any
+m  En(�), one can find a positive constant  depending on n, � and m such that

+
+6 Proof of the Viability theorem. Sufficiency
+
+To prove the sufficiency part of the Viability theorem we introduce the concatenation of probabilities on space of motions in the following way. First, if x1(�)  Cs,r, x2(�)  Cr, are such that x1(r) = x2(r), then

+Proof of Theorem 1. Sufficiency. Given m0  K, T > 0, and a natural number n, let us construct a number Jn and sequences {tjn}Jj=n 0  [0, +), {�jn}Jj=n 0  P1(Td), {nj }Jj=n 0  K, {nj }Jj=n 1  P1(Td � Rd) by the following rules:
+1. t0n 0, �0n = n0 m0;
+2. If tjn < T , then choose sjn+1  (n, 1/n), nj+1  L(nj ) and nj+1  K satisfying conditions of Lemma 3 for m = nj . Put tjn+1 tjn +sjn+1, �jn+1 sjn+1#(nj nj+1), where nj is an optimal plan between �jn and nj .
+3. If tjn  T , then put Jn j.
+Since tjn+1 - tjn  n, this procedure is finite. Now let us prove that, for j = 0, Jn,
+
+W1(�jn, nj )  tjn/n.
+
+(19)
+
+For j = 0 inequality (19) is fulfilled by the construction. Assume that (19) holds true for some j  0, Jn - 1. We have that
+
+W1(�jn+1, nj+1) = W1(sjn+1#nj  nj+1, nj+1)  W1(sjn+1 #(nj  nj+1), sjn+1 #nj+1) + W1(sjn+1#nj+1, nj+1)).
+
+(20)
+
+Recall that nj denotes the optimal plan between �jn and nj . This, inequality (20), the choice of sjn+1, nj+1, nj+1 and Lemmas 1, 3 imply that
+
+W1(�jn+1, nj+1)  W1(�jn, nj ) + sjn+1/n.
+
+Hence, using assumption, we get
+
+W1(�jn+1, nj+1)  tjn+1/n.

+This proves (19) Put

+
+Put jn probability

+Given s, r  [0, T ], s < r let In0, In1 be such that s  [nIn0-1, nIn0 ], r  [nIn1-1, nIn1 ]. For sufficiently large n, In0 < In1. Put nI0-1 s, ni ni , i = In0, . . . , In1 - 1, nI1 r. For i = In0, . . . , In1, denote ni ni - ni-1.
+Now assume that x(�)  supp(n). Using inequalities (21) and (22), we get
+
+r
+
+dist x(r) - x(s), F (x(t), mn(t))dt
+s
+
+In1
+ dist
+i=In0
+
+ni
+
+x(ni ) - x(ni-1),
+
+F (x(t), mn(t)dt
+
+ni-1
+
+In1
+ dist x(ni ) - x(ni-1), ni F (x(ni-1), mn(ni-1)) + 2(r - s)LR/n.
+
+i=In0
+
+Thus,
+
+s
+
+dist x(r) - x(s), F (x(t), mn(t))dt n(dx(�))
+
+C0,T
+
+r
+
+In1
+
+i=In0
+
+dist
+Cni-1 ,ni
+
+x(ni ) - x(ni-1), ni F (x(ni-1),mn(ni-1))
+
+in(dx(�))
+
++ 2(r - s)LR/n.
+
+(24)
+
+By the construction of in we have that
+
+dist x(ni ) - x(ni-1), ni F (x(ni-1), mn(ni-1)) in(dx(�))
+Cni-1 ,ni
+
+=
+
+dist ni v, ni F (x, �in-1)) (ni-1  ni )(d(x, v))
+
+Td�Rd
+
+= ni
+
+dist v, F (x, �in-1) (ni-1  ni )(d(x, v)).
+
+Td �Rd
+
+13
+
+This, Lemma 2, inequality (19) and the choice of ni-1 yield the estimate
+
+dist x(ni ) - x(ni-1), ni F (x(ni-1), mn(ni-1)) in(dx(�))
+Cni-1 ,ni
+
+ ni
+
+dist v, F (x, ni-1) ni (d(x, v)) + ni 2LT /n.
+
+Td�Rd
+
+Therefore, taking into account equality ni = (r - s), inequality (24), the choice of nj and Lemma 3 we conclude that
+
+r
+
+dist x(r) - x(s), F (x(t), mn(t))dt n(dx(�))
+
+C0,T
+
+s
+
+(25)
+
+ (r - s)(1 + 2LT + 2LR)/n.
+
+Further, we have that, for each natural n, supp(n) lie in the compact set of RLipschitz continuous function from [0, T ] to Td. By [2, Proposition 7.1.5] the sequence {n} is relatively compact in P1(C0,T ). There exist a sequence nl and probability   P1(C0,T ) such that
+W1(nl, )  0 as l  .
+Notice that x(�)  supp(), then x(�) is R-Lipschitz continuous and, thus, absolutely continuous.
+Put m(t) et#. Inequality (2) implies that, for any t  [0, T ],
+
+W1(m(t), mnl(t))  W1(, nl).
+
+(26)
+
+Since the functions C0,T
+
+ x(�)  dist(x(r) - x(s),
+
+r s
+
+F (x(t), m(t))dt)
+
+is
+
+Lipschitz
+
+continuous for the constant (2 + L(r - s)), using (11) and (26), we have that
+
+r
+
+dist x(r) - x(s), F (x(t), m(t))dt (d(x(�)))
+
+C0,T
+
+s r
+
+
+
+dist x(r) - x(s), F (x(t),mnl(t))dt nl(d(x(�)))
+
+C0,T
+
+s
+
++(2 + 2L(r - s))W1(, nl).
+
+Thus, by (25)
+
+r
+
+dist x(r) - x(s), F (x(t), m(t))dt (d(x(�))) = 0.
+
+C0,T
+
+s
+
+This means that, for any x(�)  supp() and any r, s  [0, T ], s < r,
+
+r
+x(r) - x(s)  F (x(t), m(t))dt.
+s
+
+14
+
+Hence, each x(�)  supp() solves (6). Consequently, m(�) is a solution to MFDI (5). Finally, dist(m(t), K)  W1(m(t), mnl(t)) + dist(mnl(t), K).
+This, (23) and (26) yield that, for any t  [0, T ],
+m(t)  K.
+Since m(�) is a solution of MFDI (5), we conclude that K is viable under MFDI (5).
+
+7 Proof of Viability theorem. Necessity
+The following lemma estimates the distance between shifts of the probability m through elements of L(m).
+Lemma 4. Let m  P1(Td),  > 0, 1, 2  L(m). Then
+W1( #1,  #2)   W(1, 2).
+Proof. Let   (1, 2) minimize the right-hand side in (12). For any   Lip1(Td), we have that
+
+(x +  v1)1(d(x,v1)) -
+
+(x +  v2)2(d(x, v2))
+
+Td�rd
+
+Td �Rd
+
+=
+
+[(x +  v1) - (x +  v2)](d(x, v1, v2))
+
+Td �Rd �Rd
+
+
+
+v1 - v2 (d(x, v1, v2)) =  W(1, 2).
+
+Td�Rd�Rd
+
+This, the definitions of the 1-Wassertstein metric and the operator  (see (1) and (13)) imply the statement of the lemma.
+
+Now we prove the necessity part of the Viability theorem.
+
+Proof of Theorem 1. Necessity. First, note that if [0, T ]  t  m(t) solves MFDI (5),
+
+then
+
+W1(m(t), m(t))  R|t - t|.
+
+(27)
+
+Indeed, let   P1(C0,T ) be such that m(t) = et# and, for any x(�)  supp(), x (t)  F (x(t), m(t)) a.e. t  [0, T ]. Define the plan between m(t) and m(t) by the
+rule: for   C(Td � Td),
+
+(x, x)(d(x, x)) =
+
+(x(t), x(t))(d(x(�))).
+
+Td�Td
+
+C0,T
+
+15
+
+We have that
+
+W1(m(t), m(t)) 
+
+x - x (d(x, x))
+
+Td �Td
+
+=
+
+x(t) - x(t) (d(x(�)))  R|t - t|.
+
+C0,T
+
+Now define the operator  : C0,T  Td � Rd by the following rule:
+
+ (x(�))
+
+x(0),
+
+x( )
+
+- 
+
+x(0)
+
+.
+
+(28)
+
+Let m0  K. By assumption, there exist a time T , a flow of probabilities on [0, T ] m(�) and a probability   P1(C0,T ) be such that
+� m(t) = et#,
+� m(0) = m0,
+� if x(�)  supp(), then x(�) is absolutely continuous and x (t)  F (x(t), m(t)) a.e. t  [0, T ],
+
+� m(t)  K.
+
+Put   #.
+The definitions of the operators  and  (see (13) and (28)) yield that
+
+ # = m( ).
+
+This means that
+
+ #  K.
+
+(29)
+
+Further, the definition of  implies that
+
+supp( )  Td � BR.
+
+(30)
+
+Now let us prove that
+
+dist(v, F (x, m0)) (d(x, v))  LR.
+
+(31)
+
+Td�Rd
+
+Indeed, if x(�) belongs to supp() then it solves differential inclusion (6). In particular, x(t) - x(0)  Rt. Hence, for x(�)  supp(),
+
+
+
+dist x( ) - x(0), F (x(t), m(t))dt = 0.
+
+(32)
+
+0
+
+16
+
+Using inequality (11) we obtain, for x(�)  supp(),
+
+dist( (x(�)), F (x(0), m0))
+
+=
+
+1 
+
+dist
+
+
+
+1 
+
+dist
+
+x( ) - x(0), x( ) - x(0),
+
+
+F (x(0), m(0))dt
+0 
+F (x(t), m(t))dt
+0
+
++ LR.
+
+This and (32) proves (31).
+By inclusion (29) and the third statement of Proposition 1 we conclude that there exist a sequence {n} n=1 and a probability   P1(Td � Rd) such that
+
+n  0, W(n , )  0 as n  .
+
+By Lemma 4 and (29) we have that
+
+dist(n #, K)  W1(n #, n#n )  nW(n , ).
+
+Hence,
+
+  TK (m0).
+
+(33)
+
+Further, for each natural n, let n minimize right-hand side in (12) for 1 =  and 2 = n . Using (31), we obtain
+
+dist(v, F (x, m0))(d(x, v)) 
+
+dist(v, F (x, m0))n(d(x, v))
+
+Td�Rd

+Td �Rd

+|dist(v, F (x, m0)) - dist(v, F (x, m0))|n(d(x, v, v))
+
+Td�Rd�Rd
+
+ LRn + nW(, n).
+
+Therefore,
+
+  F (m0).
+
+Combining this and (33) we conclude that
+
+  TK(m0)  F (m0). This proves the necessity part of the Viability theorem.
+
+Appendix
+In the Appendix we extend the metric W introduced by (12) to the case of arbitrary Polish spaces and study its properties. Proposition 1 follows from these properties.
+Let p  1 and let (X, X ), (Y, Y ) be Polish spaces, m be a probability on X. Denote by Lp(X, m, Y ) the set of probabilities  on X � Y such that,
+
+17
+
+� for some (or, equivalently, any) y  Y ,
+
+(y, y)p(d(x, y)) < ;
+X �Y
+
+� marginal distribution of  on X is equal to m.
+
+For 1, 2  Lp(m, X, Y ), let (1, 2) be a set of probabilities  on X � Y � Y such that, for any measurable A  X, C1, C2  Y ,
+
+(A � C1 � Y ) = 1(A � C1), (A � Y � C2) = 2(A � C2).
+
+Define the function Wp : Lp(X, m, Y ) � Lp(X, m, Y )  [0, +) by the rule:
+
+Wp(1, 2)
+
+1/p
+
+inf
+
+(Y (y1, y2))p(d(x, y1, y2)) .
+
+(1,2) X�Y �Y
+
+(A1)
+
+With a slight abuse of terminology, we call elements of (1, 2) plans between 1 and 2. If  minimize the right-hand side of (A1), we say that  is on optimal plan between 1 and 2.
+If p = 2 X is a Riemann manifold and Y is equal to TxX for all x, then W coincides with the metric introduced in [18, Definition 5.1]. Note that the set L(m) introduced in Section 4 is equal to L1(Td, m, Rd), whereas the function W is the function W1. Below we establish the properties of Wp (see Proposition A1�A3 and Corollary A1). This properties applied for the case when X = Td, Y = Rd, p = 1 imply Proposition 1.
+The following auxiliary construction is an adaptation of one proposed in [2]. Define the sequence of spaces {Gn} n=0 by the rule
+
+G0 X, Gn+1 Gn � Y.
+
+Finally, put
+
+G X � Y .
+
+The spaces Gn, G are equipped with the product topology. If i1, . . . , ik are indexes,
+
+then
+
+denote
+
+by
+
+pn i1,...,ik
+
+the
+
+following
+
+projection
+
+of
+
+Gn
+
+onto
+
+Gk:
+
+pni1,...,ik (x, y1, . . . , yn) (x, yi1 , . . . , yik ).
+
+Further, let pi1,...,ik : G  Gk be given by the rule:
+
+pi1,...,ik (x, y1, . . . , yn, . . .) (x, yi1, . . . , yik).
+
+Now let n be a probability on X � Y with marginal distribution on X equal to m, n,n+1  (n, n+1). Define the probabilities �n on Gn by the following rule. Put
+
+18
+
+�0 m, �1 1. If �n is already constructed, then let �n+1  P1(Gn+1) be such that, for   Cb(Gn+1),
+
+(x,y1, . . . , yn, yn+1)�n+1(d(x, y1, . . . , yn, yn+1))
+Gn+1
+
+=
+
+(x, y1, . . . , yn, yn+1)n,n+1(dyn+1|x, yn)�n(d(x, y1, . . . , yn)).
+
+Gn Y
+
+Note that
+
+pni #�n = i, pni,i+1#�n = i,i+1.
+
+(A2)
+
+By Kolmogorov's Theorem [17, II-51] there exists a probability � on G such that
+
+pi#� = i, pi,i+1#� = i,i+1.
+
+(A3)
+
+Note that
+
+Wp(i, i+1) = Lp(G,�)(pi, pi+1).
+
+(A4)
+
+Here, for a given probability � on G and functions ,  : G  X � Y , we put
+
+(, )Lp(G,�) =
+
+1/p
+(XY ((z), (z)))p�(dz) ,
+G
+
+XY ((x, y), (x, y)) X (x, x) + Y (y, y).
+Analogously, given a sequence of optimal plans 1,n between 1 and n (n  2), there exists a probability  on G such that
+
+pn# = n, p1,n# = 1,n.
+
+(A5)
+
+Proposition A1. Wp is a metric on Lp(X, m, Y ).
+
+Proof. First, notice that Wp(1, 2)  0. To show that Wp(, ) = 0 choose 0  (, ) concentrated on X �{(y, y) : y  Y }.
+Obviously,
+
+[W(, )]p 
+
+(Y (y1, y2))p0(d(x, y1, y2)) = 0.
+
+X Y �Y
+
+Further, if   (1, 2), then (�|x)  (1(�|x), 2(�|x)) for m-a.e. x  X. Hence,
+
+Wp(1, 2)  Wp((�|x), 2(�|x))m(dx).
+X
+Therefore, if Wp(1, 2) = 0, then Wp((�|x), 2(�|x)) = 0 m-a.e. x  X. Hence, 1 = 2.
+
+19
+
+Now let 1, 2, 3  Lp(X, m, Y ), and let 1,2 and 2,3 be optimal plans between 1, 2 and 2 and 3, respectively. We have that there exists a probability �3  P1(G3) such that
+p3i #�3 = i, p3i,i+1#�3 = i,i+1.
+Put 1,3 p31,3#�3.
+Note that 1,3  (1, 3). We have that
+
+Wp(1, 3) 
+
+(Y (y1, y3))p1,3(d(x, y1, y3)) 1/p
+
+G2
+
+1/p
+= Y (y1, y3)�3(d(x, y1, y2, y3))
+G3
+
+
+
+(Y (y1, y2))p�3(d(x, y1, y2, y3)) 1/p
+
+G3
+
++
+
+(Y (y2, y3))p�3(d(x, y1, y2, y3)) 1/p
+
+G3
+
+= Wp(1, 2) + Wp(2, 3).
+
+This proves the triangle inequality.
+
+Proposition A2. The space Lp(X, m, Y ) with metric Wp is complete.
+Proof. It suffices to prove that if n  Lp(X, m, Y ), n = 1, 2, . . ., is such that
+
+Wp(n, n+1) < ,
+n=1
+
+(A6)
+
+then there exists a limit of n. We have that there exists a probability � on G such that (see A3)
+
+Wp(n, n+1) = Lp(G,�)(pn, pn+1).
+
+Using completeness of Lp, we obtain that there exists a function p : G  X � Y that is a limit of the sequence {pn}. Put
+
+ p#�.
+
+We have that
+
+Wp(n,
+
+)
+
+
+
+lim
+n
+
+Lp(Gn,�)(pn,
+
+p)
+
+
+
+
+
+Lp(Gn,�)(pm, pm+1)  0 as n  .
+
+m=n
+
+20
+
+We say that a set K  Lp(X, m, Y ) has uniformly integrable partial p-moments if, for some (and, thus, any) y  Y ,
+(Y (y, y))p(d(x, y))  0 as a   uniformly w.r.t.   K.
+X�(Y \Ba(y))
+Proposition A3. A sequence {n} n=1  Lp(X, m, Y ) converges to  w.r.t Wp if and only if {n} n=1 narrowly converges to  and {n} has uniformly integrable partial pmoments. Corollary A1. A set K  Lp(X, m, Y ) is relatively compact w.r.t. Wp if and only if K is tight and has uniformly integrable partial p-moments.
+Proof of Theorem A3. Assume that Wp(n, )  0 as n  . For n  2, let 1,n be an optimal plan between  and n. There exists a probability  on G such that (A5) holds true. We have that
+Wp(n, ) = Lp(G,)(pn, p1)  0, as n  .
+Let  : X � Y  R be such that
+|(x, y)|  C(1 + Y (y, y)).
+Using Vitali convergence theorem [11, Theorem 4.5.4], we get
+
+lim
+n
+
+X �Y
+
+(x,
+
+y)n(d(x,
+
+y))
+
+=
+
+lim

+
+(pn(z))(dz)
+G
+
+= (p1(z))(dz) =
+
+(x, y)(d(x, y)).
+
+G
+
+X �Y
+
+This implies narrow convergence. The proof of the uniform integrability of partial
+
+p-moments follows from [2, Lemma 5.1.7].
+
+Now assume that n narrowly converge to  and {n} has uniformly integrable partial p-moments. Let a  0. If n  (, n) is an optimal plan between 1, 2, then
+
+Wp(, n) =
+
+Y (y, y)n(d(x, y, y))

+Y (y, y)n(d(x, y)).

+
+Narrow convergence of n and uniformly integrability of partial p-moments imply that

+Abstract
+In this paper, the two-stage orienteering problem with stochastic weights (OPSW) is considered, where the first-stage problem is to plan a path under the uncertain environment and the second-stage problem is recourse action to make sure that the length constraint is satisfied after the uncertainty is realized. Two recourse models are introduced based on two different uncertainty realization ways, one is based on sequentially realized weights which leads to the recourse model proposed by Evers et al. (2014) and the other is based on concurrently realized weights which leads to a new recourse model with less variables and less constraints and is computationally more efficient. Subsequently two two-stage robust models are introduced for OPSW based on the two different recourse models, and the relationships between the two-stage robust models and their corresponding static robsut models are investigated. Theoretical conclusions are drawn which show that the two-stage robust models are equivalent to their corresponding static robust models with the box uncertainty set defined, and the two two-stage robust models are also equivalent to each other even though they are based on different recourse models. A case study is presented by comparing the two-stage robust models with an one-stage robust model for OPSW. The numerical results of the comparative studies show the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed two-stage robust models for dealing with the two-stage OPSW.

+1. Introduction
+The orienteering problem (OP) is a routing problem which has been widely studied in the past few decades. It was first introduced by Golden et al. (1987) and has been developed in terms of the problem variants, solution algorithms and applications. The original OP aims at planning a path which starts and ends at the depot location, and visits a subset of nodes in order to maximize the total collected score while the length of the path cannot exceed a predefined budget, and each node can only be visited at most one time. The OP has a wide practical application background. A few examples such as Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) mission planning (Mufalli et al. (2012); Evers et al. (2014)), tourist trip design problem (Vansteenwegen and Van Oudheusden (2007); Gavalas et al. (2014)) and mobile crowdsourcing problem (Howe (2008); Yuen et al. (2011)). More detailed surveys on OP are given in Vansteenwegen et al. (2011); Gunawan et al. (2016).
+The stochastic orienteering problem (SOP) is a variant of OP, which assumes that some parameters in OP are stochastic and uncertain such as the score associated with each node and the weight (or distance) associated with each arc. SOP is more appropriate than OP in practical situations. For example, in a practical environment traffic congestion affects the travel time between nodes. Ilhan et al. (2008) first considered uncertainties in the score of nodes and the resulting SOP is called OP with stochastic profits (OPSP). Campbell et al. (2011); Evers et al. (2014) considered uncertainties in the travel and service times and the resulting SOP is called OP with stochastic travel and service times (OPSTS) or OP with stochastic weights (OPSW). Other variants include the dynamic stochastic OP (DSOP) with stochastic time-dependent travel times (Lau et al. (2012); Varakantham and Kumar (2013)) and the stochastic OPTW (SOPTW) with stochastic waiting time (Zhang et al. (2014)).
+In this paper, we focus on the OPSW where the uncertainties lie in the weights of the arcs. Some works on OPSW have been done in recent years. Campbell et al. (2011) considered the OPSTS in which a penalty is incurred if a commitment to a node is made but not completed. A variant of VNS for the OPSTS is proposed and its performance is evaluated by comparing with a dynamic programming (DP) approach. Evers et al. (2014) introduced a two-stage stochastic programming model for the OPSW. The first-stage problem is to plan a path. The second-stage problem is a recourse action after the uncertain weights realized, which aborts the execution of the first-stage path and enforces a direct return to the depot. The objective is to maximize the first-stage path score plus the expected loss of the score due to the recourse action. They presented a Sample Average Approximation (SAA) approach and an OPSW heuristic to solve the problem and the performance of the two approaches were evaluated. Evers et al. (2014) applied the robust optimization (RO) methodology to build robust models for UAV mission planning with uncertain fuel usage between targets, which is an OPSW in nature. The performance of the robust models are studied in terms of the different uncertainty sets and the feasibility of the robust solutions.
+Inspired by the recourse model proposed by Evers et al. (2014), we consider the two-stage OPSW, i.e. OPSW with recourse action. The first-stage problem is to plan a path with the stochastic weights

+
+unrevealed. The second-stage problem is a recourse action to avoid the violation of the length budget after the uncertainty realized. The recourse action is to abort the execution of the first-stage path and enforce a direct return to the depot. This kind of recourse action is necessary especially in the UAV mission planning. The UAV has to return to the depot safely in the uncertain environment. We notice that the realization way of the uncertainty is not unique. For example, the uncertain weights of the first-stage path can be realized sequentially during the path execution, or the uncertain weights of the first-stage path can be realized concurrently at the beginning of the path execution. Different realization ways for the uncertainty can lead to different recourse models. We thus define two realization ways of the uncertainty: Sequential realization and Concurrent realization. The Sequential realization way leads to the recourse model proposed by Evers et al. (2014), and the Concurrent realization way leads to a new model with less variables and less constraints, which is computationally more attractive.
+Two-stage robust optimization (RO), also known as adjustable RO and can be extended to the multistage situation, was initially introduced by Ben-Tal et al. (2004). Compared with traditional one-stage RO, two-stage RO divides the decision variables into "here and now" decisions and "wait and see" decisions, which is more flexible and is suitable for modeling two-stage problems. It has been successfully applied to different applications such as unit commitment (An and Zeng (2015); Wang et al. (2016)), network flow (Atamtu�rk and Zhang (2007); Ord�on~ez and Zhao (2007)) and portfolio optimization (Takeda et al. (2008)). In this paper, we apply the two-stage RO paradigm to the two-stage OPSW for the first time and introduce two two-stage RO models based on two different recourse models. The two-stage RO models introduced in this paper are with binary recourse decisions and this kind of problem has largely resisted solution so far (Hanasusanto et al. (2015)). Computing an optimal adjustable robust solution is often intractable since it requires computing a solution for all possible realizations of the uncertainties (Feige et al. (2007)). Instead of solving the two-stage RO model directly, Bertsimas et al. (2015) studied the performance of the static solutions for two-stage adjustable robust linear optimization problems and presented a tight characterization of the conditions under which a static robust solution is optimal for the two-stage robust problem. From this point of view, we introduce two static robust models for the OPSW which correspond to the two two-stage robust models respectively, and study their performance and the relationships with the two-stage robust models. We prove that with the box uncertainty set defined, the two-stage robust models are equivalent to their corresponding static robust models, and the two two-stage robust models are also equivalent to each other even though they are based on different recourse models. These conclusions we obtained indicate that the two-stage robust models for OPSW can be solved to optimality by solving their corresponding static robust models, and also we only need to use one static robust model, which is based on the second recourse model, to deal with two different uncertainty realization ways.
+The main contributions of this paper are summarized as follows:
+1. Two recourse models are presented for the two-stage OPSW: one is the recourse model with Sequential realization and the other is the recourse model with Concurrent realization.
+3
+
+2. Two two-stage robust models are presented for the first time for the OPSW based on the two different recourse models.
+3. Three theorems are established which show the equivalence between the two-stage robust models and their corresponding static robust models.
+4. The two-stage robsut models for OPSW are evaluated numerically by comparing with one-stage robust model for OPSW.
+The remainder of the paper is organized as follows. First the deterministic OP is described in Section 2. Section 3 describes the two-stage OPSW and introduces two recourse models with different uncertainty realization ways. Section 4 introduces two two-stage robust models for OPSW and draws some theoretical conclusions of the equivalence between the two-stage robust models and their corresponding static robust models. A case study is presented in Section 5 and we conclude the whole paper in Section 6.
+
+2. The deterministic OP
+
+In a deterministic OP, a set of vertices N is given with |N | as its cardinality. Each vertex i  N has a score si associated with it. Denote 0 as the depot location where 0 / N and N + = N  {0}. The goal is to plan a path with length limit L, that starts and ends at the depot and visits some vertices in order to maximize the sum of the collected scores. Each vertex is visited at most one time.
+Suppose all nodes N + are on a complete graph G = (N +, A) where A is the set of arcs connecting the vertices in N +. The weight of each arc (i, j)  A is dij, representing the Euclidean distance from i to j. Let xij be a binary decision variable, where xij = 1 if and only if arc (i, j) is visited by the path, otherwise xij = 0. An auxiliary variable ui is used to denote the position of node i in the path. The formulation of the deterministic OP is as follows:

+
+xij  {0, 1}, (i, j)  A
+
+(1a) (1b) (1c) (1d) (1e) (1f ) (1g)
+
+Constraint (1b) is the path length constraint. Constraint (1c) guarantees that the path starts and ends at the depot. Constraint (1d) is the flow conservation constraint ensuring that a vertex is visited at most
+
+4
+
+once. Constraint (1e) ensures the connectivity of the path. Constraint (1f) and (1g) are the boundary and integrality constraints on the auxiliary variables and decision variables respectively.
+3. The two-stage orienteering problem with stochastic weights
+Suppose the weight of each arc (i, j) is stochastic and uncertain, denote the stochastic weight of arc (i, j) as d~ij. In this paper, we consider d~ij as a symmetrically distributed random variable on the interval [d�ij - d^ij, d�ij + d^ij], where d�ij is the expected value of d~ij and d^ij is the maximum deviation of d~ij from its expected value. For simplicity and convenience, we use dij to denote the realizations of d~ij.
+We consider the two-stage OPSW, i.e. OPSW with recourse action. In the two-stage OPSW, the first-stage problem is to plan a path with the stochastic weights unrevealed. Due to the randomicity and uncertainty of the stochastic weights, the first-stage path may violate constraint (1b) after the uncertainty is realized. So the second-stage problem is a recourse action to avoid constraint violation after the uncertainty is realized. The recourse action is to abort the execution of the first-stage path and enforce a direct return to the depot.
+The ways that the uncertainty realized are not unique. Different realization ways for the uncertainty will lead to different recourse models. We introduce two realization ways for the uncertainty in two-stage OPSW: Sequential realization and Concurrent realization. Sequential realization means that the stochastic weights of the first-stage path are realized sequentially during the path execution. For example, the first-stage path is executed to node i and the next node is j, then the stochastic weight d~ij is realized and the stochastic weights of all other unvisited arcs remain unrevealed. Concurrent realization means that all the stochastic weights of the first-stage path are realized concurrently at the beginning of the path execution and the stochastic weights of all other arcs remain unrevealed.
+Based on the above two realization ways for uncertainty, we now present two recourse models for two-stage OPSW.
+3.1. Recourse model with Sequential realization The recourse model with sequentially realized weights was initially introduced by Evers et al. (2014). In
+this model, the uncertain weights of the first-stage path are realized sequentially during the path execution. The uncertainty realization rule is: suppose the first-stage path is executed to node i and the next node is j, then the stochastic weight d~ij is realized and the stochastic weights of all other unvisited arcs remain unrevealed. Then the recourse action is to abort the execution of the first-stage path and enforce a direct return to the depot from node i at the moment that the remaining length budget is insufficient to support a visit to the next node j plus the expected return length from the next node j to the depot. Evers et al. (2014) assumed that a certain amount of extra length budget is available to cover the maximum deviation from the expected length on any of the arcs to the depot, this safety stock not being part of the length limit L used in the model.

+Denoting the first-stage path as vector x which contains all xij, and the weight realizations as vector d which contains all dij. Let xijk be a binary variable, xijk = 1 if arc (i, j) is the kth arc in the first-stage path, otherwise xijk = 0; let yi be a binary variable, yi = 1 if node i is in the first-stage path but cannot be reached as a result of the recourse action, otherwise yi = 0; let zk be a binary variable, zk = 1 if the kth node in the first-stage path cannot be reached as a result of the recourse action, otherwise zk = 0. With the first-stage path x and the weight realizations d, the recourse problem of the two-stage OPSW with sequentially realized weights is formulated as follows:

+
+(2a) (2b) (2c)
+(2d)
+(2e) (2f ) (2g) (2h) (2i)
+
+where the objective function (2a) is to minimize the loss in the collected score as a result of the recourse action. Constraint (2b) identifies the first arc in the path. Constraint (2c) identifies the order of the other arcs in the path. Constraint (2d) determines the nodes of the first-stage path x that can and cannot be reached based on d, where M is a sufficiently large number. Constraint (2e) makes sure that all nodes in the path after the first node that cannot be reached, cannot be reached either. Constraint (2f) identifies the nodes in the first-stage path that cannot be reached, based on their indexes. A detailed explanation of the model is given in Evers et al. (2014).
+With the first-stage path x and the weight realizations d, the objective value of the sequential recourse problem can be calculated not only by solving the Recourse-Sequential model, but also by an efficient Forward Checking algorithm which is described in Algorithm 1. With Algorithm 1, the objective value of the Recourse-Sequential model can be obtained in time O(n) where n is the number of nodes in the first-stage path.

+
+14: end if
+
+15: RS(x, d) = -Loss
+
+3.2. Recourse model with Concurrent realization
+We now introduce a recourse model with concurrently realized weights. In this model, all the stochastic weights of the first-stage path are realized concurrently at the beginning of the path execution and the stochastic weights of all other arcs remain unrevealed. Then the recourse action is to find a node i in the first-stage path and enforce a direct return to the depot from node i so that the length of the subpath from the depot to node i plus the expected return length from node i to the depot is within the length limit L and the loss in the collected score is minimized. Here, we also assume that a certain amount of extra length budget is available to cover the maximum deviation from the expected length on any of the arcs to the depot. This safety stock is not part of the length limit L used in the model.
+We introduce a new binary variable yij; yij = 1 if arc (i, j) is in the first-stage path but is cancelled by the recourse action, yij = 0 if arc (i, j) is in the first-stage path and is not cancelled by the recourse action, or arc (i, j) is not in the first-stage path. Then the recourse problem of the two-stage OPSW with concurrently realized weights can be formulated as follows:
+

+

+

+
+(3a) (3b) (3c)
+(3d) (3e)
+
+where the objective function (3a) is to minimize the loss in the collected score as a result of the recourse action. Constraint (3b) ensures that the cancelled arcs are from the first-stage path. Constraint (3c) ensures that the cancelled arcs compose a subpath of the first-stage path starting at a vertex of the first-stage path and ending at the depot. Constraint (3d) ensures that the modified path after the recourse action is within the length limit.
+With the first-stage path x and the weight realizations d, the objective value of the concurrent recourse problem can be calculated not only by solving the Recourse-Concurrent model, but also by an efficient Backward Checking algorithm which is described in Algorithm 2. With Algorithm 2, the objective value of the Recourse-Concurrent model can be obtained in time O(n) where n is the number of nodes in the first-stage path.
+
+4. Two-stage robust optimization for OPSW
+In this section, we apply the two-stage RO methodology to model the two-stage OPSW. In the twostage OPSW, the first-stage "here and now" decisions are the binary decision variables xij described in Section 2. The second-stage "wait and see" decisions are the binary decision variables yi and zk in the Recourse-Sequential model or the binary decision variables yij in the Recourse-Concurrent model.
+In the two-stage RO for OPSW, an uncertainty set needs to be defined for the stochastic weights. We consider the box uncertainty set which is defined by the -norm of the uncertain vector. The reasons that we choose the box uncertainty set for the two-stage RO for OPSW are as follows:
+1. It is simple compared with the polyhedral uncertainty set and the ellipsoidal uncertainty set which is defined by 1-norm and 2-norm respectively (Bertsimas et al. (2004); Ben-Tal et al. (2009)), and the derived robust counterpart has the same computational complexity as the original model.
+2. With the box uncertainty set, we can draw some interesting conclusions in the following subsections which describe the equivalence between the two-stage robust models and their corresponding static robust models.

+

+
+13: Loss = sv1 + ... + svn 14: else
+
+15: Loss = 0
+
+16: end if
+
+17: RC(x, d) = -Loss
+
+Without loss of generality, the box uncertainty set U for the stochastic weights is defined as follows:
+
+U = d  RM : dij = d�ij + ijd^ij, i, j  N +,   Z
+
+(4)
+
+where d is a M dimensional vector with M = |N +| � |N +|,   RM is the vector of primitive uncertainties, and Z is a convex set which is defined as follows:
+
+Z =   RM :    
+
+(5)
+
+where   [0, 1] is the parameter controlling the size of Z. Next, we introduce two two-stage RO models for OPSW based on the Recourse-Sequential model and
+the Recourse-Concurrent model respectively.
+
+4.1. Two-stage robust model for OPSW with Recourse-Sequential model Based on the Recourse-Sequential model and the two-stage RO paradigm, we introduce the following
+two-stage RO model for OPSW:
+
+9
+
+(Two-stage-Sequential):
+
+maximize subject to
+
+si
+
+xij + min RS(x, d)
+
+dU
+
+iN jN +\{i}
+
+(d�ij - d^ij )xij  L
+(i,j)A
+
+(1c) - (1g)
+
+(6a) (6b) (6c)
+
+where RS(x, d) is the Recourse-Sequential model and U is the box uncertainty set. Constraint (6b) is the length limit on the first-stage path. Without constraint (6b), the first-stage path can be arbitrarily long providing there exists unvisited nodes, and these nodes can be included in the first-stage path even some nodes in any particular case cannot be reached. By adding constraint (6b), we limit the length of the firststage path in the most optimistic situation, i.e. all arc weights equal to their minimum values. With this constraint, the size of the solution space can be reduced while the problem optimality is maintained.
+The two-stage robust model for OPSW introduced above is an 0-1 integer programming problem with 0-1 integer recourse. Next, we present its corresponding static robust model in which the second-stage "wait and see" decisions become "here and now". The corresponding static robust model of the Two-stage-Sequential model is formulated as follows:
+(Static-Sequential):
+
+maximize subject to
+
+si
+
+xij - siyi
+
+iN jN +\{i}
+
+iN
+
+(1c) - (1g), (6b)
+
+(7a) (7b)
+
+(2b) - (2c), (2e) - (2i)
+
+K
+
+dij xijk +
+
+d�j0xijK  L + M zK , K = 1, ..., |N |, d  U
+
+k=1 (i,j)A
+
+(i,j)A
+
+(7c) (7d)
+
+In the above static robust model, the second-stage decision variables yi and zk are "here and now" and do not depend on the realizations of uncertain d. Both first-stage decisions xij and second-stage decisions yi and zk are selected before the uncertain d is known. An optimal static robust solution to Static-Sequential can be computed efficiently with the box uncertainty set U. What interests us is the relationship between the two-stage robust model Two-stage-Sequential and its corresponding static robust model Static-Sequential.
+In the following, we establish a theorem which describes the equivalence of the Two-stage-Sequential model and the Static-Sequential model.
+
+Theorem 1. The two-stage robust model Two-stage-Sequential and its corresponding static robust model Static-Sequential are equivalent.
+
+Proof. It is clear that the optimal solution of the static robust model Static-Sequential is a feasible solution of the two-stage robust model Two-stage-Sequential. All we need to show is that the optimal solution of
+
+10
+
+the two-stage robust model Two-stage-Sequential is a feasible solution of the static robust model Static-
+
+Sequential.
+
+We prove by apagoge. Denote (xij, xijk, yi, zk) as the optimal solution of the two-stage robust model Twostage-Sequential. Suppose the optimal solution is infeasible for the static robust model Static-Sequential,
+
+which means
+
+K
+
+d  U and K ,
+
+dij xijk +
+
+d�j0xijK > L + M zK
+
+(8)
+
+k=1 (i,j)A
+
+(i,j)A
+
+Because M is a sufficiently large number, so the above condition is only satisfied by zK = 0. This means
+
+that the K th node in the first-stage path of the two-stage robust model Two-stage-Sequential is reachable,
+
+but this node is unreachable under the context of the static robust model Static-Sequential.
+
+Now we consider the second-stage problem RS(x, d ) where x is the first-stage optimal solution, and
+
+denote the optimal solution as (yi, zk). Then for K ,
+
+K
+
+dij xijk +
+
+d�j0xijK  L + M zK
+
+(9)
+
+k=1 (i,j)A
+
+(i,j)A
+
+Comparing constraints (8) and (9), it is clear that zK must be 1. This means the K th node in the first-stage path is unreachable with d . Denote the K th node in the first-stage path as node j, then the
+
+second-stage optimal value RS(x, d )  - iN siyi - sj. Because we are optimizing mindU RS(x, d), (yi, zk) is not the optimal second-stage solution, so this is a contradiction. Thus the hypothesis cannot be established, which means (xij, xijk, yi, zk) is feasible for the static robust model Static-Sequential.
+We conclude that the optimal solution of the two-stage robust model Two-stage-Sequential is a feasible
+
+solution of the static robust model Static-Sequential. Because the two models have the same objective
+
+function value with the same solutions, then the optimal solution of the two-stage robust model Two-stage-
+
+Sequential is also the optimal solution of the static robust model Static-Sequential, this implies the two
+
+models are equivalent.
+
+Remark. The proof of Theorem 1 does not need the support of the box uncertainty set. We can still draw this conclusion even if the uncertainty set U is an arbitrary uncertainty set.
+Based on Theorem 1, the two-stage robust model Two-stage-Sequential can be solved to optimality by solving its corresponding static robust model Static-Sequential. Comparing the static robust model StaticSequential with the original deterministic OP model DOP, many new integer variables are added which makes the static robust model Static-Sequential computationally expensive. Evers et al. (2014) proved that the relaxation model with 0  xijk  1 and 0  yi  1 of the second-stage problem RS(x, d) is equivalent to the original RS(x, d), and the resulting relaxation model provides a substantial decrease in the computation time. This conclusion can be easily applied to the static robust model Static-Sequential which leads to the following proposition:
+Proposition 1. The relaxation model with 0  xijk  1 and 0  yi  1 of the static robust model StaticSequential is equivalent to the original static robust model Static-Sequential.
+

+
+Proof. This conclusion can be drawn by following the proof way of Theorem 1 in Evers et al. (2014).
+
+4.2. Two-stage robust model for OPSW with Recourse-Concurrent model Based on the Recourse-Concurrent model and the two-stage RO paradigm, we introduce the following
+two-stage RO model for OPSW: (Two-stage-Concurrent):
+
+maximize subject to
+
+si
+
+xij + min RC(x, d)
+
+dU
+
+iN jN +\{i}
+
+(1c) - (1g), (6b)
+
+(10a) (10b)
+
+where RC(x, d) is the Recourse-Concurrent model and U is the box uncertainty set. We also consider the corresponding static robust model of Two-stage-Concurrent instead of solving the
+two-stage robust model directly, the corresponding static robust model of Two-stage-Concurrent is formulated as follows:
+(Static-Concurrent):
+
+maximize subject to
+
+si

+(11c) (11d)
+
+We can readily see that the optimal solution of the static robust model Static-Concurrent is feasible to the two-stage robust model Two-stage-Concurrent. With the help of the box uncertainty set, the following theorem can be established which shows that Two-stage-Concurrent and Static-Concurrent are equivalent.
+
+Theorem 2. The two-stage robust model Two-stage-Concurrent and its corresponding static robust model Static-Concurrent are equivalent.
+
+Proof. It is clear that the optimal solution of the static robust model Static-Concurrent is a feasible solution
+
+of the two-stage robust model Two-stage-Concurrent. All we need to show is that the optimal solution of
+
+the two-stage robust model Two-stage-Concurrent is a feasible solution of the static robust model Static-
+
+Concurrent.
+
+We prove by apagoge. Denote (xij, yij) as the optimal solution of the two-stage robust model Two-stageConcurrent. Suppose the optimal solution is infeasible for the static robust model Static-Concurrent, which
+
+means

+
+Denote du = d� + d^, according to the definition of the box uncertainty set U , we know that du  U and du d where is the element-wise inequality. Based on inequality (12), it is clear that

+

+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ 
+
+yij  {0, 1}, i, j
+
+ 
+
+less cancelled arcs comparing with y.
+
+Based on the fact that du d and using inequality (15), we have
+
+
+
+
+
+duij xij -

+
+iN +\{j}
+
+(16)
+
+Combining inequalities (13) and (16), we can observe that: for the second-stage problem RC(x, du), the recourse action needs to cancel more arcs than y to satisfy the length constraint, which means RC(x, du) < - jN sj iN+\{j} yij. Because we are optimizing mindU RC(x, d), y is not the optimal second-stage solution, so this is a contradiction. Hence, the hypothesis cannot be established, which means (xij, yij) is feasible for the static robust model Static-Concurrent.
+
+We conclude that the optimal solution of the two-stage robust model Two-stage-Concurrent is a feasible
+
+solution of the static robust model Static-Concurrent. Because the two models have the same objective
+
+function value with the same solutions, then the optimal solution of the two-stage robust model Two-stage-
+
+Concurrent is also the optimal solution of the static robust model Static-Concurrent, this implies the two
+
+models are equivalent.
+
+Based on Theorem 2, the two-stage robust model Two-stage-Concurrent can be solved to optimality by solving its corresponding static robust model Static-Concurrent.
+
+4.3. The relationship between Two-stage-Sequential and Two-stage-Concurrent Until now, we have introduced two two-stage robust models Two-stage-Sequential and Two-stage-Concurrent,
+and also proved that these two models are equivalent to their corresponding static robust models respectively.
+
+13
+
+In this subsection, we further investigate the relationships between Two-stage-Sequential and Two-stageConcurrent.
+First, we investigate the static models Static-Concurrent and Static-Sequential. Comparing static model Static-Concurrent with static model Static-Sequential, model Static-Concurrent has less decision variables and less constraints and is computationally more attractive. The two static models are based on different recourse models. Next, we show that model Static-Sequential and model Static-Concurrent are equivalent with the support of the box uncertainty set.
+
+Theorem 3. The static robust models Static-Concurrent and Static-Sequential are equivalent.
+
+Proof. First, suppose (xij, xijk, yi, zk) is the optimal solution of the static robust model Static-Sequential, and we introduce decision variable yij which is described in Recourse-Concurrent model for model StaticSequential, then the optimal solution (xij, xijk, yi, zk) can be mapped to an optimal solution (xij, yij) of model Static-Sequential, and it is clear that (xij, yij) is feasible to the static robust model Static-Concurrent.
+Then, suppose (xij, yij) is the optimal solution of the static robust model Static-Concurrent, and we introduce variables xijk, yi, zk which is described in Recourse-Sequential model for model Static-Concurrent, then the optimal solution (xij, yij) can be mapped to an optimal solution (xij, xijk, yi, zk) of model StaticConcurrent, we now show that (xij, xijk, yi, zk) is feasible to the static robust model Static-Sequential.
+Suppose zK = 0 and zK +1 = 1, then this means the nodes in the first-stage path become unreachable from the (K + 1)th node. Then, the length constraint (11d) in the static robust model Static-Concurrent is
+
+equivalent to
+
+K
+
+dij xijk +
+
+d�j0xijK  L, d  U
+
+k=1 (i,j)A
+
+(i,j)A
+
+(17)
+
+Based on the definition of the box uncertainty set U, inequality (17) is equivalent to
+
+K
+
+(d�ij + d^ij )xijk +
+
+d�j0xijK  L
+
+k=1 (i,j)A
+
+(i,j)A
+
+(18)
+
+We transform the left hand side of the above inequality as follows:
+
+K
+
+(d�ij + d^ij )xijk +
+
+d�j0xijK
+
+k=1 (i,j)A
+
+(i,j)A
+
+K -1
+=
+
+(d�ij + d^ij )xijk +
+
+(d�ij + d^ij )xijK +
+
+d�j0xijK
+
+k=1 (i,j)A
+
+(i,j)A
+
+(i,j)A
+
+K -1
+
+
+(d�ij + d^ij )xijk +
+
+(d�ij + d�j0)xijK
+
+k=1 (i,j)A
+
+(i,j)A
+
+K -1 1
+>
+
+(d�ij + d^ij )xijk +
+
+d�j0xij(K -1)
+
+k=1 (i,j)A
+
+(i,j)A
+
+where relation 1 is due to the triangle inequality.
+
+(19)
+
+14
+
+Based on (18) and (19) we have
+
+K -1
+
+(d�ij + d^ij )xijk +
+
+d�j0xij(K -1)  L
+
+k=1 (i,j)A
+
+(i,j)A
+
+which implies
+
+K -1
+
+dij xijk +
+
+d�j0xij(K -1)  L, d  U
+
+k=1 (i,j)A
+
+(i,j)A
+
+Following the above transformation recursively, finally we can get
+
+(20) (21)
+
+K
+
+dij xijk +
+
+d�j0xijK  L, K = 1, ..., K , d  U
+
+k=1 (i,j)A
+
+(i,j)A
+
+(22)
+
+So the optimal solution (xij, xijk, yi, zk) is feasible to the static robust model Static-Sequential. We conclude that the optimal solution of the static robust model Static-Sequential is a feasible solution
+
+of the static robust model Static-Concurrent, and the optimal solution of the static robust model Static-
+
+Concurrent is a feasible solution of the static robust model Static-Sequential. Then the two models have the
+
+same optimal solution, this implies the two models are equivalent.
+
+The following corollary shows the equivalence between two two-stage robust models.
+
+Corollary 1. The two-stage robust models Two-stage-Sequential and Two-stage-Concurrent are equivalent.
+
+Proof. Based on Theorem 1, Theorem 2 and Theorem 3, we can draw this conclusion.
+
+Based on Theorems 1-3 and Corollary 1, we know that the four models Two-stage-Sequential, StaticSequential, Two-stage-Concurrent and Static-Concurrent are equivalent to each other. It is an interesting conclusion that Two-stage-Sequential and Two-stage-Concurrent are equivalent with the box uncertainty set defined even though they are based on different recourse models. We can use the Two-stage-Concurrent model to deal with the two-stage OPSW with sequentially realized weights, and the Two-stage-Concurrent model is computationally more efficient than the Two-stage-Sequential model.
+
+5. Case study
+In this section, a case study is presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed two-stage robust models for OPSW.
+5.1. Test instance The test instance used in our experiments is based on problem set 3 from Tsiligirides (1984) which was
+originally used for the deterministic OP. Problem set 3 contains 20 instances with the same 33 nodes and 20 varying length limits. We only consider 3 length limits: 80, 90 and 100. In the instance, the end point is ignored and the start point is kept as the depot location. The problem set can be found with URL: http://www.mech.kuleuven.be/en/cib/op.
+15
+
+To generate the uncertain instances for OPSW, we use the Euclidean distances between nodes as the expected weights d�ij. Two kinds of uncertain instances are generated with the deviation values d^ij chosen as 0.2d�ij and 0.5d�ij respectively. Then, based on different length limits and different deviation values, we can get a total of 6 uncertain instances for OPSW.
+
+5.2. Experiments In order to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed two-stage robust models, we use one-stage robust
+model for OPSW as a comparison. In the one-stage robust model, all the decision variables are "here and now" and there are no recourse decision variables considered in the model. The one-stage robust model follows the traditional RO paradigm and is formulated as follows:
+(One-stage-RO):
+
+maximize
+
+si
+
+xij
+
+iN jN +\{i}
+
+(23a)
+
+subject to (1c) - (1g)
+
+(23b)
+
+dijxij  L, d  U
+(i,j)A
+
+(23c)
+
+As proven in Section 4, the Static-Concurrent model is equivalent to the two-stage robust models Two-
+
+stage-Sequential and Two-stage-Concurrent and is computationally more efficient than the Static-Sequential
+
+model. So we use Static-Concurrent model to solve the two-stage OPSW with sequential or concurrent
+
+realized weights. We generate 1000 scenarios for the d^ij = 0.2d�ij and d^ij = 0.5d�ij cases respectively for simulation purposes.
+Suppose the uncertain weights d~ij are uniformly distributed on interval [d�ij - d^ij, d�ij + d^ij]. Then the realizations dij are sampled uniformly on the interval [d�ij - d^ij, d�ij + d^ij].
+For each uncertain instance, the Static-Concurrent model and the One-stage-RO model are solved by
+
+CPLEX 12.6 with  = 0, 0.1, ..., 1 respectively. The robust solutions obtained by the Static-Concurrent
+
+model and the One-stage-RO model are then simulated with the 1000 scenarios for the two-stage OPSW
+
+with Recourse-Sequential and Recourse-Concurrent actions. The objective values of the second-stage recourse
+
+problems are calculated by Algorithm 1 and Algorithm 2. The mean objective values and the standard
+
+deviations of the robust solutions are statistically summarized.
+
+5.3. Numerical results Tables 1-6 show the numerical results of the 6 instances with different length limits and different deviation
+values. The Obj. in the tables represents the objective value obtained by the One-stage-RO model or the Static-Concurrent model. First we can observe that the objective values of the robust solutions are decreasing as parameter  increases for both the one-stage and two-stage RO models. As  increases, the size of the uncertainty set U is increasing which means the protection level is increasing, and the resulting robust solution is more conservative.

However, the gaps between the mean objective values with sequential recourse and concurrent recourse are very small which means that the difference between the two recourse actions is small.

+Comparing the mean objective values of the one-stage RO and two-stage RO with the sequential recourse or concurrent recourse, the two-stage RO achieves better values than the one-stage RO in most cases. This is because that the two-stage RO considers the recourse decisions into the model but the one-stage RO only
+19
+
+considers the first-stage decisions. We also notice that the one-stage RO can achieve better mean objective values than the two-stage RO in some cases. Figures 1-3 show visual comparisions between the one-stage RO and two-stage RO with sequential recourse. The comparisions between the one-stage RO and two-stage RO with concurrent recourse are visually similar. The figures clearly show that the two-stage RO dominates the one-stage RO in most cases, which show the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed two-stage robust models for dealing with the two-stage OPSW.
+In Tables 1-6 we also report the standard deviations of the simulated robust solutions for both the onestage RO and the two-stage RO. The standard deviations can reflect the stabilities of the obtained robust solutions. From the tables we can see that as parameter  increasing, the standard deviations tend to decrease, which means the robust solutions are more stable with a larger uncertainty set. We can also observe that the two-stage RO can mostly achieve better mean objective values and lower or small standard deviation values at the same time comparing with the one-stage RO. This further indicates that the proposed two-stage robust models can efficiently tackle the two-stage OPSW.

+6. Conclusions In this paper, we considered the OPSW with recourse actions. Based on different uncertainty realization
+ways, we presented two recourse models: one is the Recourse-Sequential model and the other is the RecourseConcurrent model. The Recourse-Concurrent model has less decision variables and less constraints and is computationally more attractive. We applied the two-stage RO paradigm to the OPSW and introduced two two-stage RO models based on two recourse models. We theoretically proved that with the box uncertainty set defined, the two-stage robust models are equivalent to their corresponding static robust models and the two two-stage robust models are also equivalent to each other. Subsequently, the two-stage robust models for

+OPSW can be determined to optimality by solving their corresponding static models. Comparative studies between the two-stage robust models and one-stage robust model for OPSW showed the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed two-stage robust models for tackling the two-stage OPSW.
+We provide the following research directions as our future works: 1. The two-stage robust models for OPSW proposed in this paper are based on the box uncertainty set,
+therefore we can draw theoretical conclusions on the equivalence between the two-stage robust models and their corresponding static robust models. Other uncertainty sets (e.g. the polyhedral uncertianty set) could be defined in the two-stage robust models and the performance of the corresponding static robust models can be studied.

+
+2. The OPSW considered in this paper is with a two-stage setting where the decision variables are classified into two categories. As the planned path is executed dynamically and the nodes are visited sequentially, hence the OPSW can be viewed as a multi-stage decision making problem. So we can apply the multi-stage RO methodology and build a multi-stage robust model for the OPSW with a multi-stage setting.

+We generalize the Vicsek model to describe the collective behaviour of polar circle swimmers with local alignment interactions. While the phase transition leading to collective motion in 2D (flocking) occurs at the same interaction to noise ratio as for linear swimmers, as we show, circular motion enhances the polarization in the ordered phase (enhanced flocking) and induces secondary instabilities leading to structure formation. Slow rotations promote phase separation whereas fast rotations generate patterns consisting of phase synchronized microflocks with a controllable selflimited size. Our results defy the viewpoint that monofrequent rotations form a vapid extension of the Vicsek model and establish a generic route to pattern formation in chiral active matter with possible applications to control coarsening and to design rotating microflocks.

+
+Among the most remarkable features of active matter systems is their ability to spontaneously form selfsustained nonequilibrium structures, without requiring external driving. These active structures range from motility-induced phase separation of self-propelled particles into a dense and a dilute phase [1, 2] and clusters of self-limited size [3�7] in isotropic active matter, to long range ordered flocks and travelling bands in 2D polar active matter [8�12]. Despite their phenomenological diversity most of these (and other) activity-induced structures can be observed in a small class of archetypical minimal models allowing to explore their universality. For linear self-propelled particles which change their swimming direction only by diffusion (and alignment interactions), the Active Brownian Particle model and the Vicsek model have become standard models representing isotropic and polar active matter.
+Besides such linear swimmers, there is now a strong interest in a new class of self-propelled particles which change their direction of motion autonomously. This class of chiral active matter includes a variety of biological circle swimmers, such as E.coli which swim circularly when close to walls and interfaces [13�16], as well as sperm cells [17, 18], and magnetotactic bacteria in rotating external fields [19, 20]. Following the general principle that any deviation between the self-propulsion direction of the particle and its symmetry axis couples its translational and rotational degrees of freedom, it has also been possible to design synthetic circle swimmers; examples being L-shaped self-phoretic swimmers [21, 22] and actuated colloids allowing to design radius and frequency of circular trajectories on demand. While these synthetic examples have supported the recent boost of interest in chiral active matter, as the recent reviews [23, 24] reflect, surprisingly little is known about their
+Benno.Liebchen@staffmail.ed.ac.uk levis@ub.edu
+
+collective behaviour (exceptions exploring collective behaviour are [25, 26]).
+Therefore, following the spirit of formulating minimal models for the collective behaviour of linear active matter, we introduce here the 'rotating Vicsek model ' (RVM) to describe the collective behaviour of polar circle swimmers. This model describes overdamped self-propelled particles changing their direction autonomously with an intrinsic rotation frequency, and with local alignment interactions between circle swimmers (which are typically non-spherical). In the monofrequent case of identical circle swimmers, one might expect that circular swimming has little impact on the physics of the standard Vicsek model as the absence of inertia seems to guarantee invariance of the system by global rotation of the reference frame � as for an overdamped ideal gas in a rotating bucket, where global rotations do not change the particle dynamics inside. This viewpoint receives further support by the fact that the flocking transition of the Vicsek models proves invariant under rotations, as we will show. Strikingly, however, this flocking transition induces long-range polar order, which spontaneously breaks rotational invariance and allows rotations to dramatically change the physics of the Vicsek model. When rotations are fast compared to rotational diffusion, which is a natural parameter range for many circle swimmers, a new phase occurs, which we call the rotating micro-flock phase. This phase emerges via a short-wavelength clustering instability from a uniform flock and leads to a proper pattern of localized rotating flocks which do not coarsen beyond a characteristic length scale. This scale increases linearly with the swimming speed and decreases with the rotational frequency, allowing to use rotations as a tool to design microflock patterns. Besides fast rotations, also slow ones induce interesting collective effects: they allow for phase separation and lead to coherently moving large-scale structures with droplet-like shapes featuring an enhanced polarization as compared to flocks in the standard Vicsek model.

+FIG. 1: Trajectories of a linear (a,  = 0) and a circle swimmer (b,  = 3). (c): For slow rotations (g = 0.14,  = 0.2), circle swimmers phase-lock and follow circular orbits allowing for aligned configurations (e) and the formation of large rotating droplets. (d): Fast rotations (g = 0.14,  = 3) leave no time to phase lock, which frustrates the alignment interactions and destroys circular trajectories (f). Self-organizing into a microflock pattern where circle swimmers move irregularly around a common microflock-centers allows them to compromise between rotations and alignment.
+
+Thus, in contrast to the common opinion that identical circle swimmers do not change the collective behaviour of linear swimmers significantly, the present work shows that they lead to a rich new phase diagram, involving a novel route to pattern formation. This route should be readily observable in identical synthetic circle swimmers (L-shaped or actuated colloids) or in magnetotactic bacteria in rotating external magnetic fields, and could be useful, for example, to design localized micro-flocks whose characteristic size can be (dynamically) controlled in the laboratory (e.g. by changing the self-propulsion velocity or the frequency of the applied field).
+Besides this, our results may find further applications for understanding pattern formation in 2D suspensions of sperm cells [18] and driven protein filaments [25, 27] qualitatively matching the microflocks we observe. In this context, we note that our results may qualitatively apply even to nonidentical but synchronized biological swimmer ensembles as discussed in [26].
+The rotating Vicsek model To specify our results we now define the RVM: it consists of N point-like selfpropelled particles with positions ri and orientations pi(t) = (cos i, sin i) which interact via an aligning pairpotential and change their direction in response to a systematic rotational force, according to:

+
+Here, the sum runs over neighbours within a radius R around particle i and i(t) is a unit-variance Gaussian white noise with zero mean. In the non-interacting limit (K = 0), each particle performs an overdamped circular Brownian motion as shown in Fig. 1 and statistically characterised in [28]. To reduce the parameter space to its essential dimensions, we choose space and time units as R and 1/Dr. The RVM has four control param-
+
+eters: the particle density 0 = N/L2, a Peclet number Per = v/(DrR) measuring the persistence length in units of the alignment interaction range, g = K/(R2Dr) and  = /Dr, comparing alignment and rotational frequencies with the rotational diffusion rate. Remarkably, the phase diagram depends only on g0 and , as we discuss below, with most interesting phenomena occurring for gf := g0 > 2 and for   1 or  > 1. While the former criterion is the flocking criterion of the standard Vicsek model, most circle swimmers naturally feature suitable  values: Rotating E.coli (  0.1 - 1/s [15]; Dr  0.2/s - 1/s) lead to   1, whereas L-shaped swimmers (  0.1 - 0.3/s; Dr  6.10-4 [21]) allow to explore the regime   102 1 and magnetotactic bacteria in rotating fields should allow to tune  on demand.
+Pattern formation We now simulate the collective behaviour of N = 32000 identical circle swimmers in a quadratic box with periodic boundary conditions. For  = 0 we reproduce the phenomenology of the standard Vicsek model [12, 29�31]: a disordered homogeneous phase occurs below the flocking threshold (g < gf ), whereas g gf induces a global polarization with high density bands coexisting with a disordered gas (Fig. 2 (a)). These bands eventually become unstable at higher coupling strengths, leading to homogeneous flocking. Now choosing g > gf and switching on slow rotations ( = 0.2), we observe phase separation into a large polarly ordered dense phase and a low-density gas of incoherently rotating swimmers. Here, the presence of rotations changes the geometry of the high density region which now takes the form of a spherical cluster (droplet), reminiscent of the usual liquid-gas demixing. This droplet rotates coherently but slower than individual swimmers with a frequency  <  (see Fig. 1 (c), 2 (b) and Movie 1 in the Supplementary Material (SM) [32]). Tuning the frequency to values  1 arrests phase separation and leads, strikingly, to a pattern of dense spots which do not grow beyond a self-limited size (see Fig. 2 (c)-(h) and Movie 2). Within each spot, particles are synchronized and form rotating microflocks: hence we call the emerging phase the rotating microflock pattern. This pattern resembles vortex arrays observed in sperm cells and protein filaments [18, 27].
+Hydrodynamic equations and enhanced flocking To understand the emergence of patterns and their length scales, we derive a continuum theory for the RVM in the SM [32]. Following the approaches in [33, 34] we find [32] a closed set of equations for the particle density (x, t) and polarization density w(x, t) = (wx, wy) = P (with P(x, t) being the polarization field) where |w| measures the local degree of alignment and w/|w| the average

(3) around D (SM [32]) unveils an instability (flocking transition) g0 > 2, which is the same as for linear swimmers ( = 0) showing that the emergence of long-range order is invariant to rotations. Our simulations confirm this invariance (Fig. 3).[35]. Following the flocking instability, the RVM approaches a rotating uniform phase (F), (, |w|, w/|w|) = (0, w0, cos(0t), sin(0t)), featuring long-range order:

+
+nomenon which we call enhanced flocking and confirm
+
+using particle based simulations in Fig. 3. [36] Physi-
+
+cally, enhanced flocking might be based on a decrease of
+
+the average time needed for a diffusive rotating particle (which is not yet part of the flock) to align its direction with the flock. That is, rotations allow the flock to collect particles with random orientations faster.
+Microflock-instability To understand the transition from (F) to the patterns observed above, we now perform a linear stability analysis of F. Here, the presence of long-range order allows terms of order ww to crucially impact the stability of (F) as we will see. First considering the case  = 0 we find an oscillatory long wavelength instability along the polarization direction for 2 < g0 < 22/7 (and a stationary long wavelength instability perpendicular to the flocking direction for 2 < g0 < 82/21). The oscillatory instability evokes moving density fluctuations only in polarization direction and is often associated with the emergence of travelling bands in the standard Vicsek model [31, 34]. In the RVM we also find oscillatory long wavelength instabilities, here producing moving density fluctuations both longitudinal and perpendicular to the flocking direction allowing for (coarsening) rotating droplets (Fig. 2)b in the RVM.
+Most strikingly, for larger  our linear stability analysis ([32]) unveils a rotation-induced oscillatory short wavelength instability. This instability generates pattern formation in the RVM and explains the observation of microflocks with a self-limited size (Fig. (2)); hence we call it the microflock-instability. Close to g0 = 2 the characteristic microflock size scales as (see [32])

+
+Thus, microflocks grow linearly with Per, but also grow with g0 and decrease with  in most parameter regimes. If  1, (5) yields l  v/: i.e. for fast rotations, the microflock size is proportional to the radius of a single circle swimmer. Our simulations confirm all these scalings

+(Fig. 2 (i-j)): Specifically, defining the length scale l of a numerically observed structure as the value of l where the pair correlation function G(l) = 1 leads to Fig. 2: panel (i) confirms the l  Per prediction and (j) shows a decrease of l with increasing , revealing that the microflock size can be tuned by the microscopic parameters in our model.[37] Note, that the microflock-instability does not only provide a proper route to pattern formation but also allows for structure formation at interaction to noise ratios where the standard Vicsek model is deep in the uniform flocking phase.
+What is the physical mechanism leading to the rotating droplet phase and the microflock pattern? While circle swimmers are effectively independent of each other at large distances in phase (D), for g0 > 2 they have satisfy the rotations while being aligned on average. If interactions dominate (g0/ 1) circle swimmers can phase lock before they rotate much and follow almost ideal circles (Fig. 1 (c)). Here, they are parallel to each other all along their circular orbits (Fig. 1 (e)) and form a macroscopic rotating droplet (Fig. 2(b)). In this state, interactions support circular motion: phase locking leads to an essentially stiffly rotating many-particle object that experiences an 'average' noise, inducing only weak deviations from circular motion (Fig. 1 (c)). Conversely, when rotations dominate (g0/ < 1), the phase locking timescale becomes comparable to the rotational timescale. This results in phase shifts among adjacent circle swimmers that frustrate, for swimmers on circular orbits, the alignment interaction (Fig. 1 (f)). The frustration, in turn, destroys circular orbits and makes large droplets of phase-locked swimmers impossible. As a result, the droplet phase breaks down which opens a route to pattern formation: the resulting microflock phase can be seen as an attempt of the RVM to satisfy alignment interactions in presence of rotations but in absence of phase-locking, at least on average (see Fig. 1 (d) for a typical trajectory): rotating around a common center allows particles to avoid closeto-orthogonal configurations as the one shown in Fig. 1 (f) even in presence of small phase shifts. Increasing the size of a microflock therefore dissatisfies the alignment interactions; hence microflocks naturally resist coarsening beyond a certain scale.
+To get an overview of the parameter regimes leading to droplet and microflock patterns we summarize our re-

+sults from linear stability analysis and simulations in an instability or phase diagram, Fig. 4. Although the RVM depends on four dimensionless parameters, we show in the SM [32] that its phase diagram is fully characterized by g0 and . Thus, the two-dimensional plot in Fig. 4 represents the whole parameter space. In this plot, red shaded areas lead to pattern formation while blue ones represent the rotating macrodroplet phase (phase separation). Where both regimes overlap (  1 and g0 10/3) short and long wavelength instabilities perpendicular to the flocking direction coexist. Generally, we also find a coexisting long wavelength instability in polarization direction, which is not shown in Fig. 4 but detailed in the SM [32]. Often, the coexisting long and short wavelength instabilities are separated by a band of stable wavenumbers (Fig. 1 in [32]), suggesting that, depending on initial conditions, (F) proceeds either to phase separation or to pattern formation. This suggests hysteresis in the RVM: we confirm this in Movie 3, showing phase separation for small  persisting even after a quench to large  values, which normally lead to the microflock pattern, when our system is initialized in phase (F).
+Conclusions Conversely to the viewpoint that identical rotations are unimportant for the collective behaviour of overdamped self-propelled particles, we show they generate a generic route to structure formation. While slow rotations promote phase separation yielding a rotating macrodroplet featuring an enhanced polarization compared to the standard Viczek model, faster rotations induce phase-synchronized microflocks with a self-limited size. This size can be tuned via the swimming speed and the rotation frequency allowing to use rotations as a design principle for microflock patterns. Our results should

+
+be observable, e.g. with autophoretic L-shaped colloids or magnetotactic bacteria, and provide a general framework to acknowledge and understand the rich collective behaviour of chiral active matter.

+The Rotating Vicsek Model: Pattern Formation and Enhanced Polarization in Chiral Active Matter
+
+I. CONTINUUM THEORY OF CIRCLE SWIMMERS
+
+Here, we develop a continuum theory for the rotating Vicsek model (RVM), closely following the approach in [1]. We start with the Langevin equations as given by Eqs. (1) in the main text but replace the finite range alignment interaction by a pseudopotential (''-interaction), which is justified if the interaction is short ranged enough, such that the shape of the associated interaction potential is irrelevant to the many particle dynamics. Using dimensionless units, this leads to the following Langevin equations
+
+r i = Perpi; i =  + g
+
+ (rj - ri) sin(j - i) + 2i(t) .
+
+(6)
+
+j=i
+
+where i(t) represents Gaussian white noise with zero mean and unit variance.
+Now using It^os Lemma and following [3] we derive a continuum equation of motion for the combined N -particle

+probability density f (r, , t) = (r - ri(t))( - i(t)) of finding a circle swimmer with orientation p = (cos , sin )

+f = -Perp � f - f - g d f (r,  ) sin( - )f (r, ) + 2f -  2f 
+
+(7)
+
+Here  = (r, , t) is a unit-variance Gaussian white noise field with zero mean. In the following, we focus on a mean-field description and neglect the multiplicative noise term - 2f . Transforming (7) to Fourier space, yields an equation of motion for the Fourier modes fk(r, t) = f (r, , t)eikd of f :

Evaluating (8) for k = 0, 1.. leads to a hierarchy of equations for {fk} with f0(x, t) = (x, t) = f (x, , t)d being the probability density to find a circle swimmer at time t at position x (independently of its orientation) and (Ref1, Imf1) = w(x, t) = p()f (x, , t)d is the polarization density: the magnitude w  |w| represents the fraction of aligned circle swimmers and w/w their average swimming
+direction. To close the hierarchy of equations (8) we follow the scheme of [4], involving the assumption that deviations
+from isotropy are not too strong. Specifically, we assume that f2, representing nematic order, follows changes in f0, f1 adiabatically (i.e. f2  0) and that higher order fields approximately vanish (fk3  0).

+
+Eqs. (9,10) have two uniform solutions representing the disordered uniform phase (D) (, w) = (0, 0), where 0 is fixed by the initial conditions and conserved in the course of the dynamics (9), and a uniform flock (F) (, |w|, ) = (0, w0, ) (where (x, t) is defined via w/w = (cos , sin )) which features long-range polar order in two-dimensions

+
+Remarkably, following (11), rotations enhance the degree of polar order in the flocking phase (enhanced flocking), as discussed in more detail in the main text. Interactions in turn, lead to a slowdown of rotations of the flock which changes direction with the frequency of the underlying circle swimmers 0 =  at the onset of flocking (g0 = 2) and slows down as more particles align (see (12)). Linearizing (9,10) (D) shows that the disordered phase gets unstable at g0 = 2, which is the ordinary flocking transition. Hence, independently of how strong rotations are, the emergence of long-range order solely depends on a competition of noise and alignment interactions. In other words: identical rotations of all swimmers are irrelevant for structure formation in the RVM in absence of polar order (g0 < 2). This finding crucially changes as soon as polar order emerges, as we now demonstrate.
+
+B. Pattern formation in circle swimmers: A linear stability analysis of the flocking phase
+
+To understand the onset of structure formation in the RVM, we now perform a linear stability analysis of the uniform flocking phase (F). As we will see, in this phase, circular swimming of individual particles dramatically changes the phenomenology as compared to the standard Vicsek model and creates a route to the formation of patterns whose length scale grows linearly with Per and decreases with .
+As usual, to test the stability of the flocking state we calculate whether a small perturbation on top of it grows or decays. We therefore linearize (9,10) around (11,12), i.e. we use (, w) = (0, w0) + ( , w ) with primes denoting fluctuations and transform the result to Fourier space. Generally, the rotation of the base state (F) produces timedependent coefficients in some terms. In most cases, however, we will see, that the maximum growth rates of unstable modes in the RVM at a given orientation of w strongly exceed ; e.g. by one decade in Fig. 5, left). Thus, the flock does not rotate much on the timescale where perturbations grow and drive the system out of the linear regime. Therefore, we perform our linear stability analysis at a given orientation of w, leading to the following linearized equations of motion:

+
+Despite its rather complicated appearance, (13) allows for a number of useful observations:
+
+(i) The Peclet number Per can be absorbed in the wavenumbers qx, qy in (13). Thus, linear stability criteria ('phase
+
+transition lines') are independent of the Peclet number and therefore in particular independent of the self-propulsion
+
+velocity (as long as Per = 0).
+
+(ii) For the same reason, the length scale of any pattern arising via a linear instability from the flocking solution
+
+will scale as l  Per. Such a scaling can be observed for the microflock pattern as we confirm with particle based
+
+simulations in the main text.
+
+(iii) g and 0 appear only together as g0 in (13). Thus, the linear stability (or nonequilibrium 'phase diagram')
+
+depends only on two dimensionless parameters: g0 and  and therefore, the two-dimensional plot of the phase
+
+diagram shown in the main text is representative for the complete parameter space of the RVM (whose dynamics
+
+generally depends on 7 (4) parameters before (after) transforming to nondimensional units.
+
+We now proceed with a more formal analysis of (13). The flocking phase is unstable if at least one of the eigenvalues
+
+of the matrix in (13) has a positive real part at some wavenumber q. As the base state rotates slowly compared to the

+FIG. 5: Real part of the dispersion relation Re[(qy)] (growth rates) of phase (F) perpendicular to the polarization direction: Left: Close to the flocking threshold, rotations can suppress the long wavelength instability perpendicular to the flocking direction and generate an oscillatory short wavelength instability ( = 1.0; 1.5) leading to microflock patterns. For slow enough rotations  = 0.4 the long wavelength instability of the Vicsek model survives but turns into an oscillatory instability contributing to the emergence of rotating macro-droplets (see Fig. 2 in the main text). Right: Further away from the flocking threshold (g0 = 3.6) rotations can lead to coexisting short and long wavelength instabilities which are separated by a band of stable wavenumbers (colors represent the different branches of the dispersion relation for fixed parameter values).
+
+growth rate of fluctuations, we can analyse the stability of perturbations parallel (qy = 0) and perpendicular (qx = 0) to the polarization direction separately, as usual for nonrotating systems. Since the dispersion relation (qx, qy) is a complicated high order polynomial in qx, qy,  and g0, we apply various approximations to roughly understand the onset structure formation. The resulting instability criteria are summarized in an instability or nonequilibrium phase
+diagram in Fig. 4 of the main text.
+
+1. Instabilities along polarization direction (qy = 0)
+
+We first analyse the response of the standard Vicsek model to small perturbations parallel to the flocking direction
+for the standard Vicsek model ( = 0). Expanding the dispersion relation (qx) to second order in qx around qx = 0 unveils an oscillatory long wavelength instability for 2 < g < 22/7. This instability is often associated with the
+emergence of travelling bands in the Vicsek model if the density is not too large.
+To see how rotations affect this instability, we now expand (qx) to second order both in qx (around qx = 0) and in g0 (around the flocking threshold g = 2). As a result, we find that the same oscillatory long wavelength instability is always present in the RVM and hence robust against arbitrarily fast rotations. To see if this result also holds true
+further away from the flocking threshold, we now expand (qx) both in  and qx to second order around 0. As a first result, we find that any  > 0 destabilizes phase (F) even at zero wavenumber (q = 0) if g0 > 10/3. This suggests that the RVM allows for long-wavelength instabilities even at interaction to noise ratios where the standard Vicsek
+model is deep in the uniform flocking phase. (More generally, this result also follows by considering (q) for q = 0
+without expanding in .) The regime 22/7 < g0 < 10/3 is more involved: the same expansion in , qx shows that fast enough rotations can induce the long-wavelength instability also at moderate g0 values, where fast enough is quantified by[7]

+(g0 - 2)(14 - g0)3 g0 [49120 - g0(12808 + 3g0(9g0 - 424))] - 64944
+
+(14)
+
+Besides the long wavelength instability we also find a short wavelength instability in polarization direction. However, a quantitative criterion for this instability is quite involved as different modes (branches of the dispersion relation) can cross each other and the instability is in most cases caused by high order terms in qx. A numerical analysis of this instability shows that it typically masked by a corresponding short wavelength instability perpendicular to the flocking direction (which often has a larger growth rate) which we discuss below.
+
+2. Instabilities perpendicular to the polarization direction (qx = 0) We now explore the response of the RVM against small perturbations perpendicular to the polarization direction. Long Wavelength Instability: We first consider the standard Vicsek model ( = 0) again. Expanding (qy)
+
+9
+
+unveils a stationary long-wavelength instability perpendicular to the polarization direction, for 2 < g0 < 82/21  3.9.[8] (This perpendicular instability has not been discussed much in the literature; one exception is [5] where a corresponding instability was analysed and discussed but in a more phenomenological model.)
+For the RVM ( = 0) we expand the relevant branch of the dispersion relation (qy) up to second order around qy = 0 and g0 = 2. In presence of rotations, we find a corresponding perpendicular long wavelength instability if
+
+ < (8g0 - 16)/(7g0 - 5)
+
+(15)
+
+That is, rotations tend to suppress this long wavelength instability close to the flocking threshold; we visualize this in the phase diagram, Fig. 4, in the main text. Further away from the threshold, for g0 > 10/3, as mentioned above, any slow rotation generates a long-wavelength instability even at q = 0. Remarkably, while the long wavelength instability perpendicular to the flocking direction is stationary for the standard Vicsek model it is oscillatory for the RVM and plays an important role for the emergence of the rotating droplets as we discuss in the main text. To quantitatively compare the parameter domain where this instability exists with numerical simulations (see phase diagram, Fig. 4, in the main text) we now generalize (15), by expanding (qy) to third order in g0, which leads to

+Microflock instability - Short wavelength modes: Most important to pattern formation in the RVM are short wavelength fluctuations perpendicular to the polarization direction. Identifying the branch of the dispersion relation which is most relevant for short wavelength instabilities and expanding it to second order around g0 = 2 and to first order around qy = 0, we find an oscillatory short wavelength instability if
+
+ > cr =
+
+4g0 - 8 12 - g0
+
+(17)
+
+This criterion holds true for g 2 and leads to a complex cr for g0 revealing that the corresponding instability only exists in presence of rotations. For  > 0 however, the transversal short wavelength instability generically exists close to the flocking threshold and leads to pattern formation in the RVM. This instability creates microflocks with a self-limited size l = 2/qm with qm being the long wavelength of the associated instability band, which reads
+
+qy
+
+
+
+42 Per
+
+|4(2 - g0) + 2(12 - g0)| (g0 - 2)(4 + 2)
+
+(18)
+
+The microflock length scale l increases linearly with the Peclet number as expected from our more general consider-
+ations above. It also increases with g0 and decreases with  (the latter holding true at least not too close to onset of this instability). While the scaling law (18) should be precise only close to the g0 = 2-flocking onset, we find that the qualitative scaling applies more generally as a numerical analysis of the dispersion relation shows. In the main
+text, we confirm these scaling predictions using particle based simulations.
+To quantitatively compare our prediction for the onset of pattern formation in the RVM with numerical simulations
+(main text), we now slightly generalize (17), by expanding (qy) to third order in g0 which allows for a feasible result:

+
+160 g0(12
+

+
+7g0)
+
+-
+
+1
+
+(19)
+
+For completeness, we finally account also for terms of order qy2; here, we expend (qy)) both in qy and to second order in g0. Among more complicated expressions resembling (19) this expansion shows that the short wavelength
+instability perpendicular to the flocking direction is generally present if  > 2 2/7. We finally note, that long wavelength instabilities both in (and perpendicular to the) polarization direction typically (partly) coexist with the short wavelength instability in the RVM (compare Fig. 5). This suggests that a given parameter allows for coexisting routes both towards phase separation and pattern formation. In this regime, the initial conditions decide which type of structure emerges (hysteresis) as we confirm with simulations (Movie 3).
+We summarize the instabilities perpendicular to the flocking direction in a nonequilibrium phase diagram in the main text, where we compare them with simulations.

+
+II. BROWNIAN DYNAMICS SIMULATIONS OF CIRCLE SWIMMERS
+Here we provide some details about the numerical simulations of the RVM. In particular, we specify the specific parameters used and the different measurements done in order to obtain the results presented in the main text.
+
+A. Numerical details and method
+
+We solved numerically the Langevin equations (1) and (2) in the main text using the Euler integration method with a time step t = 0.1. We simulated system of particles moving in two dimensions in a L � L squared box with periodic boundary conditions. For all the simulations presented in this work the average density and the rotational diffusion coefficient are fixed to 0 = N/L2 = 20 and Dr = 0.5. To account for finite-size effects, we run simulations with N = 2000, 8000 and 32000. We vary the coupling strength from g = 0 to g = 0.4, the self-propulsion velocity from v = 0.1 to v = 1.5 and the rotation frequency from  = 0 to  = 2 ( = 4 in adimensional units). In order to reach the steady state we let the system evolve over more than 106 time steps. We took special care in making sure that the system has reached the stationary state by looking at space-time correlation functions. We found that the formation of the patterns described in the main text is a slow process and one needs to let the system relax over time scales of this order of magnitude to be able to make any reliable measurement.
+In order to provide a simple check of our simulation scheme we compare the mean-squared displacement of a single self-propelled particle obtained numerically with the analytical solution of the Langevin equations. In the non-interacting limit, the position variables should perform a persistent random walk characterized by v and Dr. The motion of the particles is diffusive at long time scales compared to the persistent time  = 1/D. The mean square displacement can be computed analytically and gives,

+
+B. Flocking transition
+
+We focus first on the emergence of spontaneous polar order as g increases. We introduce the order parameter
+
+P = ||p|| , p = N -1 ni ,
+
+(23)
+
+i
+
+and its associated susceptibility
+
+ = N p2 - p 2 .
+
+(24)
+
+The order parameter as a function of the coupling g obtained for a system of N = 2000 circle swimmers is shown in Fig. 3 in the main text. We show here in Fig. 7 the corresponding susceptibility data. We identify the flocking transition with the maximum of the susceptibility. The phase boundary obtained in such a way is reported by black symbols in the phase diagram in the main text.
+As it has been argued for the standard Vicsek model, finite-size effects are particularly relevant to determine the nature of the flocking transition [6]. The patterns, like traveling bands, emerging in these systems can only be obtained in simulations of large enough systems. We did not attempt to provide here a full analysis of the flocking transition in this model. This would require a precise finite-size scaling analysis. As shown in Fig. 7, the amplitude of the order parameter fluctuations decreases with . It might indicate that rotations change the nature of the flocking transition. This is however a speculation and we postpone this issue to a future work.
+However, we systematically increase the size of our system in order to identify different patterns that are out of reach using small systems, since they are characterized by a length scale that might be of the order of the system size. Simulations of different system sizes also allows us to test the robustness of the results presented. Even larger systems than the ones investigated in this work would be needed in order to analyze the patterns at even higher couplings. The patterns are expected to grow with g and the different instability mechanisms described above might lead to different patterns that can not be properly identified with the simulations presented here.
+
+C. Microflocks
+As discussed in the main text, for fast enough rotations, we observe a change of morphology in the system. In practice, the phase boundary between the phase separated region and the microflock phase divides states with a single macroscopic cluster from states with several smaller ones. In order to make a quantitative estimation of this phase boundary that allows comparison with the linear instability analysis of the hydrodynamic equations, we compute the cluster size distribution Pm. We define a cluster as a connected set of particles distant of less that 1/3 (in units of R ).
+The results for g = 0.11 are shown in Fig. 8. In the phase separated region, the distribution of clusters is characterized by the coexistence between an exponential distribution of small clusters and a peak at cluster sizes of the order of the system size. In the presence of faster rotations, smaller clusters of a tunable finite size appear, which in the cluster size distribution translates into the presence of a peak at smaller values of m as compared to the phase separated state. This change of behaviour in the distribution allows us to estimate the phase boundary between both phases, as reported in the phase diagram in the main text.

+INEQUALITIES FOR CONVEX FUNCTIONS VIA FRACTIONAL INTEGRALS
+MOKHTAR KIRANE BERIKBOL T. TOREBEK
+Abstract. The aim of this paper is to establish Hermite-Hadamard, HermiteHadamard-Fej�er, Dragomir-Agarwal and Pachpatte type inequalities for new fractional integral operators with exponential kernel.
+
+1. Introduction
+
+The inequalities discovered by Hermite and Hadamard for convex functions are very important in the literature (see, e.g.,[PPT92, DP00]). These inequalities state that if [H1883, H1893] u : I  R is a convex function on the interval I  R and a, b  I with b > a, then

+
+a
+
+(1.1)
+
+Both inequalities hold in the reversed direction if u is concave. We note that Hadamard's inequality may be regarded as a refinement of the concept of convexity and it follows easily from Jensen's inequality.
+The classical Hermite-Hadamard inequality provides estimates of the mean value of a continuous convex function u : [a, b]  R.
+The most well-known inequalities related to the integral mean of a convex function u are the Hermite-Hadamard inequalities or its weighted versions, the so-called Hermite-Hadamard-Fej�er inequalities.
+In [F06], Fej�er established the following inequality which is the weighted generalization of Hermite-Hadamard inequality (1.1):
+Let u : [a, b]  R be convex function. Then the inequality

+
+Many generalizations and extensions of the Hermite-Hadamard, Hermite-Hadamard-
+
+Fej�er, Dragomir-Agarwal and Pachpatte type inequalities were obtained for vari-
+
+ous classes of functions using fractional integrals; see [SSYB13, WLFZ12, ZW13,
+
+ITM16, JS16, BPP16, C16, HYT14, I16, CK17] and references therein.
+
+Definition 1.1. The function u : [a, b]  R  R, is said to be convex if the following inequality holds
+
+u(�x + (1 - �)y)  �u(x) + (1 - �)u(y)
+
+for all x, y  [a, b] and �  [0, 1]. We say that u is concave if (-u) is convex.
+
+In the following, we will give some necessary definitions and mathematical preliminaries of new fractional integral which are used further in this paper.
+
+Definition 1.2. Let f  L1(a, b). The fractional integrals Ia and Ib of order   (0, 1) are defined by

+
+Theorem 2.1. Let u : [a, b]  R be a positive function with 0  a < b and u  L1(a, b). If u is a convex function on [a, b], then the following inequalities for fractional integrals hold:

+
+(2.1)
+
+Proof. Since u is a convex function on [a, b], we get for x and y from [a, b] with

+
+(2.3)
+
+Multiplying both sides of (2.3) by exp (-At) , then integrating the resulting inequality with respect to t over [0, 1], we obtain

+
+The first inequality of (2.1) is proved. For the proof of the second inequality in (2.1) we first note that if u is a convex
+function, then, for �  [0, 1], it yields
+
+u(ta + (1 - t)b)  tu(a) + (1 - t)u(b)
+
+and u((1 - t)a + tb)  (1 - t)u(a) + tu(b).
+By adding these inequalities we get
+
+u(ta + (1 - t)b) + u((1 - t)a + tb)  u(a) + u(b).
+
+(2.4)
+
+Then multiplying both sides of (2.4) by exp (-At) and integrating the resulting inequality with respect to t over [0, 1], we obtain

+Phase Noise and Jitter in Digital Electronics
+Claudio E. Calossoand Enrico Rubiola
+January 3, 2017
+Abstract This article explains phase noise, jitter, and some slower phenomena in digital integrated circuits, focusing on high-demanding, noise-critical applications. We introduce the concept of phase type and time type (for short, -type and x-type) phase noise. The rules for scaling the noise with frequency are chiefly determined by the spectral properties of these two basic types, by the aliasing phenomenon, and by the input and output circuits. Then, we discuss the parameter extraction from experimental data and we report on the measured phase noise in some selected devices of different node size and complexity. We observed flicker noise between -80 and -130 dBrad2/Hz at 1 Hz offset, and white noise down to -165 dBrad2/Hz in some fortunate cases and using the appropriate tricks. It turns out that flicker noise is proportional to the reciprocal of the volume of the transistor. This unpleasant conclusion is supported by a gedanken experiment. Further experiments provide understanding on: (i) the interplay between noise sources in the internal PLL, often present in FPGAs; (ii) the chattering phenomenon, which consists in multiple bouncing at transitions; and (iii) thermal time constants, and their effect on phase wander and on the Allan variance.

+1 Introduction
+Timing analysis is generally driven by the design of logic functions. That is why specs like "the input must be stable 600 ps before the clock edge" are just countless. From this standpoint, it is sufficient to describe the fluctuations in terms of jitter. Broadly speaking, jitter is the time fluctuation, evaluated in

+reference conditions. Because of the wide bandwidth, jitter is chiefly determined by the white noise. Notice that proper operation requires an analog bandwidth 3�4 times the switching frequency, and in turn up to a few GHz with nowadays components.
+When the design comes to spectral analysis and to highly stable oscillators, language and requirements change radically. Fluctuations are generally described in terms of phase noise, expressed either as S(f ) or L (f ), and the low-frequency phenomena are no longer negligible. Low phase noise is crucial in radars [1, 2, 3], modern telecomm [4], atomic frequency standards [5] and particle accelerators [6, 7], just to mention some.
+In the rapidly changing world of digital electronics, the literature on phase noise is rather old and focuses on frequency dividers, either in TTL and ECL components [8, 9], or in transistor-level modeling. Other references found are more about data transfer in telecom networks than about components [10, 11, 12].
+At the time of [8, 9], CMOS technology was used only in microprocessors and complex functions. Gate arrays and FPGAs came later, with a new rapid progress [13, 14, 15]. Interestingly for us, gate arrays and FPGAs bridge the gap between logical/computational functions and circuit-level design. The precise control on electrical signals that follows opens a new challenge in understanding noise. However, VLSI engineers are mostly concerned with noise margin, crosstalk, and power distribution [16]. Conversely, amplitude and phase noise are not studied.
+The purpose of this article is to set the basic knowledge about phase noise, and to provide examples. We focus on the clock distribution because clock edges are the most critical ones for timing. This does not sounds a limitation, first because critical signals can be synchronized to a clock line, and second because a chip in charge of a highly critical operation should not perform multiple tasks `cross-talking' at random with one another.
+Designing the experiments was initially difficult. However, after a noise model and the first results were available, reproducing similar experiments is surprisingly simple. We hope that the reader will be able to port our ideas to other technologies and logic families. The reader may also learn about reverse engineering the noise.
+

+
+where 0 is the carrier frequency. Our notation is consistent with general literature [17, 18], yet for the choice of fonts for some specific quantities as a minor detail.
+A model which is useful to describe phase noise is the polynomial law

+
+Sx(f ) =

+kj f j ,
+
+(3)
+
+j=m
+
+where the integer m < 0 depends on the device. After (2), it holds that kj = bj/4202. The sum (3) describes the usual noise types: white phase noise b0, flicker phase noise b-1/f , white frequency noise b-2/f 2, etc. Common sense suggests that in two-port components, noise processes higher than 1/f (i.e., f j, j< - 1) cannot extend over unlimitedly low frequencies, otherwise the inputoutput delay diverges in the long run.
+The polynomial law is also used for the PSD of the voltage noise n(t)

+

+(notice the font in hj, because hj reserved for Sy(f ) = j hjf j). The reader familiar with analog electronics finds an obvious analogy with the parameter en [nV/ Hz], specified separately for white and flicker noise.
+The rms time fluctuation J can be calculated integrating Sx(f ) over the system bandwidth (Parseval theorem)

+

+
+The lower limit fL is set by maximum differential delay in the system. The upper limit is fH = 0. The reason is that the fluctuations are sampled at the clock edges, thus at 20. The quantity J2 can be identified with the variance x2(t) , yet after filtering out the f < fL part.
+For our purposes, J is approximately equivalent to the rms jitter. By contrast, the general term `jitter' has wider scope, mostly oriented to SDH telecomm systems. It includes different types of noise and interferences starting at 10 Hz, with different weight for each (the term `wander' is preferred below 10 Hz). See for example [19, 20, 10] for standards and useful digressions. In a FPGA, there may be a factor 1000 between the rms jitter and the overall jitter, also including interferences.

+
+We introduce two basic types of process discussed below, which take their names from the frequency-scaling properties.
+The phase-type (or pure phase-type) process is, by definition, a process in which the statistical properties of (t) are unaffected after changing the carrier frequency 0 in a suitable wide range. Hence, x(t) scales with 0 according to (1).
+The roles of (t) and x(t) are interchanged in the time-type process. So, the time-type (or pure time-type) process is, by definition, a process in which the statistical properties of x(t) are unaffected after changing the carrier frequency 0 in a suitable wide range. Of course, x(t) scales according to (1).
+The concepts of phase-type and time-type process apply to phase noise, wavelet variances (Allan and Allan-like), environmental effects, etc. Most readers are familiar with the `personality' of the -type noise from the phase noise of RF/microwave amplifiers [21]. Thermal noise, flicker, and some environmental effects in amplifiers behave in this way. Conversely, the thermal drift of the delay in a coaxial cable or optical fiber are time-type processes. The x-type noise also describes the ideal noise-free synthesizer, which transfers x(t) from the input to the output, independently of 0.
+3 Noise in the Clock Distribution
+A lot about phase and time fluctuations can be learned from the simple model sketched in Fig. 1. The input signal of frequency 0 is first converted into a square wave with full voltage swing, full slew rate and full bandwidth, and then distributed. Restricting our attention to white and flicker, we get the four behaviors listed in Table 1 and discussed below.
+3.1 Spectrum of the Phase-Type (-type) Phase Noise
+In digital circuits we often encounter the aliased -type noise. Let us start with -type noise at the input of a digital circuit, where the input signal v(t) crosses a threshold affected by a fluctuation n(t). Under the assumption that the input Slew Rate (SR) is high enough to avoid multiple bouncing (Sec. 6),
+
+5
+
+we get x(t) = n(t)/SR and, after (1),
+
+(t)
+
+=
+
+20 SR
+
+n(t) .
+
+(6)
+
+Notice that the direct measurement of n(t) is possible only in simple circuits which allow the simultaneous access to input and output of the gate.
+The sinusoid is the preferred clock waveform because it propagates through circuit boards with best impedance matching and lowest crosstalk and radiation, and because high purity reference oscillators work in sinusoidal regime. Discarding the dc component and setting the threshold at 0, the clock signal
+
+v(t) = V0 cos(20t)
+
+(7)
+
+has slew rate SRv = 20V0. In this conditions, the phase fluctuation is
+
+(t)
+
+=
+
+n(t) V0
+
+(-type) .
+
+(8)
+
+Generally, the analog bandwidth B of a digital circuit is greater than the max 0 by a factor of 3�4. This is necessary for the device to switch correctly. In turn, the bandwidth of n(t) is equal to B. Squaring the input signal samples n(t) at the zero crossings introduces aliasing. The spectrum of the sampled signal is
+
+Sn,s(f )
+
+=
+
+B 0
+
+h0
+
++
+
+...
+
+(sampled noise) ,
+
+(9)
+
+where the 1/f and higher terms are neglected because of the comparatively noise power. A trivial way to prove (9) is to calculate the variance n2(t) = h0B
+(Parseval theorem) before sampling, and to state that it is equal to the variance 2 = Sn,s(f )0 of the sampled signal. Accordingly, the phase noise is

+
+(11)
+
+Oppositely, aliasing has negligible effect on flicker h-1/f and on higher terms (1/f 2, 1/f 3 etc.). It follows from (8) that

+Figure 2 shows the spectral properties of the -type noise. Aliasing scales the white noise as 1/0, but it has no effect on flicker. The corner frequency fc which separates white from flicker regions is obtained equating (10) to (12)

Though threshold fluctuations are always present, the voltage-to-time conversion has little effect, and the gate is characterized by its delay fluctuations. So, each gate of the clock distribution contributes to the delay, and the fluctuations add up statistically. At a closer sight, the device may be organized hierarchically, for example in gates and cells, likely with a longer propagation time between cells. Nonetheless, the fluctuation is proportional to the length and to the complexity of the distribution chain.
+The pure x-type noise is found in the 1/f region and below, not affected by aliasing. The noise spectrum is described by

+3.3 Interpretation of Phase Noise Spectra
+A series of spectra S(f ) taken with several values of 0 helps to understand the interplay of noise types. Scaling 0 in powers of two seems appropriate.
+Let us start with flicker, S(f ) = b-1/f . Comparing (12) to (16), we expect that the noise is of the -type at low 0, and of the x-type at high 0, with a corner frequency

+4 Selected Noise Measurements
+We measured the phase noise of several devices routinely used in our labs. This is a necessary step, before considering an unbound search for the best. Accordingly, the measurement method (Fig. 5) is more about flexibility than about sensitivity. Anyway, the phase noise of digital components is generally higher than that of common low noise components (i.e., amplifiers and mixers). On the other hand, we need simple operation in a wide range of frequency, with signals that may not be at the same frequency as the reference. For us, this is the relevant feature of the Microsemi 5125 (1�400 MHz) and 5120 (1�30 MHz) instruments. These instruments make use of correlation and average on the spectra of two nominally equal channels which measure the same quantity, which rejects the single channel noise [22, 23]. Notice that the oscillator is common mode, with very small differential delay, hence its noise is highly rejected. The Fourier frequency spans from 1 mHz to 1 MHz.
+4.1 Cyclone III (65 nm)
+In a first experiment, we measure a Cyclone III [24] in a clock buffer configuration. The input sinusoidal clock V0 = 1 Vpeak (+10 dBm on 50 ) is squared and distributed as in Fig. 1 A. The spectrum is shown in Fig. 6.
+We first look at the white noise region. Our model suggests aliased -type noise (10) at low 0, and aliased x-type noise (18) beyond the cutoff given by (23), as shown on Fig. 4 B. Starting from 0 = 3.125 MHz, b0 scales down as -3.5 dB per factor-of-two, in fairly good agreement with the 3 dB predicted by the model. This results from the data fit shown on Fig. 6 top-right. Taking V0 = 1 V, (10) gives a threshold fluctuation h0B = 550 � 65 �V. The `� 65 �V' results from b0  1/01.16' instead of the 1/0 law. Assuming B = 2.5 GHz (analog bandwidth, four times the maximum toggling frequency), we get
+h0 = 11 � 1.3 nV/ Hz. This is in agreement with general experience, which suggests that general high-speed electronics has a typical noise level of 10�15 nV/ Hz.
+At 0  100 MHz, the white noise falls outside the 1 MHz span. Since this occultation occurs before the aliased x-type noise shows up, we have no direct

+access to k0. On Fig. 6, at the maximum f (1 MHz) and at 400 MHz carrier, the white noise is below -138 dBrad2/Hz (upper bound). This value, integrated over B = 400 MHz and converted into time, gives 1 ps, which is an upper bound for J.
+Flicker noise is in good agreement with pattern of Fig. 4 B only at 0  100 MHz. From this part of the plot, we calculate k-1 = 21 fs. By contrast, at 0  50 MHz b-1 scales as  1.5 dB per factor-of-two instead of being constant. This discrepancy is not understood. However, the 1/f region is rather irregular, and corrupted by bumps, even more pronounced at low 0.
+The lowest flicker found on Fig. 6 (-115 dBrad2/Hz at 3.125 MHz carrier), converted into voltage using (12), gives h-1 = 2.6 �V (upper bound for the input voltage flicker). Interestingly, this value is similar to the flicker of some CMOS high-speed operational amplifiers (for instance, 1.9 �V for the Texas Instruments OPA354A).

By contrast, the flicker noise is in perfect agreement with the 6 dB per factor-of-two model (pure x-type noise). Comparing Fig. 7 to Fig 6, at 0 = 400 MHz the flicker of the complete clock distribution is close to that of the output buffer. So, the contribution of the output buffer is not negligible. Conversely, at lower 0 a significantly larger flicker rises in the clock distribution chain.
+4.2 Measuring the Time Type (x-Type) Noise with the  Divider
+After some tests, we realized that the  frequency divider [25] is a good tool to measure the x-type noise of the clock distribution. First, a frequency divider is useful in that the input time fluctuation (-type noise, (13)) is kept low by using a high input frequency, while the measurement at the lower output frequency is

+simpler (both instruments are suitable, and the background is lower). Second, the  divider circumvents the aliasing phenomenon. In fact, a  divider �D provides a triangle-like output waveform by combining D phases of a square wave, which is equivalent to sampling at the input frequency.
+Figure 8 shows the phase noise of some devices used as �10 dividers in  configuration, with 100 MHz input and 10 MHz output frequency. The flicker coefficient is clearly identified, not corrupted by artifacts. The bump at 20 kHz (Zynq and Cyclone III) is due to the insufficiently filtered power supply. Finally, the  divider implemented with the Max 3000 deserves mentioning for its low noise (b-1 = -130.5 dBrad and b0 = -165 dBrad2/Hz). This is lower than regular dividers (general experience), and just 10 dB above the NIST regenerative dividers [26] at the same output frequency.
+5 The Volume Law
+The idea that the phase noise coefficient b-1 is proportional to 1/V, where V is the active volume, has been around for a while. In quartz resonators, this appears either directly or as a side effect of the larger size at lower frequency [27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32]. In ultrastable Fabry-Perot cavities, flicker is powered by thermal noise and proportional to the reciprocal of the length [33, 34] which is approximately equivalent to 1/V after mechanical design rules.

+Figure 9: Flicker coefficient b-1 of digital devices, related to the cell size S.
+
+The 1/V law results from a gedankenexperiment in which we combine m equal and independent devices, giving b-1|total = b-1|dev/m. This has been confirmed experimentally with amplifiers [35, Chapter 2], [21]. Flicker is of microscopic origin because the probability density function is Gaussian, which originates from a large statistically-independent population through the central limit theorem. So, the m devices can be combined in a factor-of-m larger device exhibiting a factor-of-1/m lower flicker. Similarly, we expect higher flicker if the size of the device is scaled down, until space correlation appears. The limit for small volume is not known.
+In digital electronics, the volume V of the active region is proportional to the node size S. For reference, S is of 10 �m in Intel 4004 (1971), and of 16 nm in the Apple A10 Fusion chip of the iPhone 7. While the footprint surface is proportional to S2, the two scaling rules are common in the literature on VLSI systems, known as constant-voltage and Dennard [16, P. 253], [36], agree inthe depth proportional to S. Thus, V  S3. The wire delay may contain S, however, the flicker associated to wires is too small to deserve attention [37].
+We measured a few components using the �10  divider configuration. This gives access to the 1/f noise of the clock distribution, which is of the x-type. We used 100  10 MHz, or 30  3 MHz with the Cyclone and the Cyclone II for practical reasons, sharing a 5125A and a 5120A. The results are shown in Fig. 9, which compares the 1/f PM noise to S.
+The MAX V is not accounted for in the analysis because the spectrum was taken in unfavorable conditions, yet kept for completeness. A linear regression gives k-1 = -26.2 log10(S) - 219.5 dBs2, with S in nm. Fitting the same data with the exact volume law gives k-1 = -30 log10(S) - 212.1 dBrad2/Hz. The

+
+6 Input Chatter
+
+Chatter is a fast random switching of a comparator, which occurs in the presence
+of wideband noise when the mean square slew rate of noise exceeds that of the signal at the threshold, i.e., SR2n > SR2v. The phenomenon is shown in Fig. 10 and 11.
+Following the Rice's approach [38, 39], noise in the small interval [f, f + f ]
+can be represented as the sinusoidal signal nf (t) = Vf cos(2f t + f ), which has random amplitude Vf , random phase f , and slew rate
+
+SRn,f = 2f Vf sin(f ) .
+
+(26)
+
+The Parseval theorem requires that n2f (t) = Sn(f ) f , thus
+
+Vf2 = 2Sn(f ) f
+
+(27)
+
+because cos2(. . . ) = 1/2 in nf (t). The mean square slew rate is calculated combining (26) and (27), integrating on frequency, and averaging on f . Since sin2(f ) = 1/2,
+
+
+
+SR2n = 42
+
+f 2Sn(f ) df .

+
+In turn, SR2n is determined by white noise Sn(f ) = h0, f = [0, B]. Other noise types are negligible because they occur al low frequency, compared to B,

+
+threshold V0 = 169 mV. On Fig. 11, we see that chattering occurs at V0 =
+
+100 mV, and at V0 = 50 mV the transitions are broken. Given the difficulty
+
+of identifying the parameters, the agreement between model and observation is
+
+satisfactory.
+
+After (30), chattering is more likely at low carrier frequency. However,
+
+Fig. 11 shows that this can occur at 5 MHz, a standard frequency of great
+
+interest for high stability signals.
+
+7 Internal PLL
+The internal PLL is intended to provide high frequency internal clock stabilized to an external reference, often 5-10-100 MHz. We show simple experiments which give insight in the Cyclone III.

+
+two
+
+of
+
+which
+
+are
+
+available to the designer. The programming tool (Quartus) uses one to ensure
+
+that internal design rules are satisfied.
+
+The VCO relies on a LC resonator on chip. General literature suggests a
+
+quality factor Q of 5�10, limited by the technology [40]. Therefore, we expect a
+
+Leeson frequency fL = vco/2Q of the order of 50 MHz.
+
+In a first experiment (Fig. 13), we use the PLL as a `cleanup' (o = i), yet with a high purity input. This gives the noise of the PLL, at different values
+
+of i. For lowest noise, we use the phase comparator at the highest possible
+
+frequency (i) by setting D = 1. The VCO frequency ends up to be 400, 600 or
+
+640 MHz, depending on o. On Fig. 13, the white noise floor is not seen. This is sound because noise can be white only beyond fL, which is beyond the 1 MHz span. Flicker is of the -type at 5 and 10 MHz, with b-1 = 2.5�10-10 rad2/Hz (-96 dB). Since this type of noise is not scaled down by the �N divider in the
+
+loop, we ascribe it to the phase detector. This is because (i) with the tight lock
+
+implemented we do not expect to see the VCO; and (ii) the input comparator
+
+and the output stage of the �N divider have some 10 dB lower noise in similar
+
+conditions (-115 dBrad2/Hz, Section 4.1).
+
+In the second experiment, we use the PLL as a frequency multiplier in powers
+
+of two (o = 2mi) from 10 MHz to 640 MHz, with i = 10 MHz. Again, we
+
+use D = 1 for lowest noise. The VCO delivers 320, 400 or 640 MHz, depending
+
+on o. The phase noise spectrum (Fig. 14) indicates that flicker is of the x-type, scaling up as o2. This indicates that the phase detector is the dominant source of noise, with negligible contribution of the dividers. So, the time fluctuation
+
+x(t) is transferred from the phase detector to the VCO, and then from the VCO
+
+to the output. The phase (t) scales accordingly, that is, �N/C.

+8 Thermal Effects
+
+8.1 Thermal Transients
+
+Common sense suggests that delay is affected by the junction temperature TJ , while other parameters like TC and TA (case and ambient temperature) are comparatively smaller importance.
+Our method consists in using the electrical power P to heat the chip, and calculate TJ from the thermal resistance JA and the transients. In turn, P is chiefly set by the charge/discharge cycle of the gate capacitance, whose energy is E = CV 2. Thus, N gates switching at 0 dissipate P = N CV 20. Of course, P can be changed instantaneously. The delay is measured with a Symmetricom 5125A test set used as a phase meter and also as a time-interval counter.
+We measured a Cyclone III used as a clock buffer (actually, 10 buffers connected in parallel through 330  resistors). The temperature had to be low-pass filtered by covering the card with a small piece of tissue. The results are shown in Fig. 15.
+In the main body, all the curves show an exponential behavior plus a linear drift
+
+x(t) = k T 1 - e-t/~ + k t ,
+
+(31)
+
+where T = TJ - TA results from setting 0 in powers of two, and ~ is the time constant. For reference, we observed P = 1 W at 400 MHz, which means

+T  10 K with JA  10 K/W (including the thermal pad on the pcb), and neglecting the dissipation at 0 = 0.
+The linear drift (1 fs/s, or 10-15 fractional frequency) does not scale with power. This behavior is typical of the environment temperature, slowly drifting during the measurement (a fraction of a Kelvin over 1 hour). Extrapolating the drift to t = 0, we get the asymptotic effect of the P transient alone.
+The time constant ~ is found as the intercept of the tangent at t = 0 and the linear drift (dashed lines). This graphical process removes the drift. The value ~ = 400 s is the same for all the transients.
+The inset of Fig. 15 shows the delay versus the carrier frequency (dissipated power). As expected, the delay is proportional to TJ , set through 0. Accounting for P and JA, the thermal coefficient of the delay is 10 ps/K.
+8.2 Allan Deviation
+Generally, y( ) should follow the 1/ law (white and 1/f phase noise). Other types of instability, as frequency noise would reveal a phase noise steeper than 1/f , and the delay of the device would diverge in the long run. However, bumps may be present. Notice that 1/f phase noise in practice never yields large integrated delay.

+We first discuss the 1/ region of Fig. 16 A. At low 0, y( ) decreases proportionally to 1/0. For  = 1 s, we read y = 10-12 at 3.125 MHz, 5�10-13 at 6.25 MHz, etc. At higher 0 the curves get closer to one another, and overlap at 0  100 MHz.
+Taking the classical conversion formulae for Allan variance and spectra (for example, [41, P. 77�80], or [17]), the 1/0 behavior is equivalent to h1  1/02 (frequency fluctuation spectrum Sy(f ) = h1f ), thus to b-1 = C vs. 0. This is the signature of the pure -type noise, as expected at low 0 and at low f , thus at long  . We recall that the fluctuation of the input threshold is dominant at low 0, and that the low f region is dominated by the 1/f phase noise, virtually unaffected by aliasing.
+By contrast, the y( ) = C vs. 0 behavior is equivalent to h1 = C vs. 02, thus b-1  02. This is the typical of the pure x-type noise, as expected at high 0 and at low f , thus at long  . The fluctuation of the input threshold is no longer relevant, and the low f region is still dominated by the 1/f phase noise, virtually unaffected by aliasing.
+In summary, the 1/ region of the y( ) plot is consistent with the predictions of Section 2.

+in Fig. 16 A the measurement of y( ) restarts immediately after switching 0, while in Fig. 16 B the measurement of y( ) is delayed by 1 hour after switching 0. The relevant difference is that in A each curve suffers from the cooling-down transient of the previous measurement, while in B each measurement starts in steady state. Bumps show up in A at   30 s, and they get stronger at higher 0, where the thermal dissipation is stronger, and almost disappear in B. This is a qualitative confirmation of the presence of two separate time constants (end of Sec. 8.1).
+8.3 Side Effects of the Thermal Dissipation
+We have shown that the electrical activity inside the FPGA heats the chip, and in turn affects the delay. Variations exceeding 50 ps have been observed in the presence of a light burden. The analysis gives a warning, thermal crosstalk is around the corner when the same FPGA is in charge of more than one task, made worse by the heat latency. Attempts to fit low noise and high-stability functions (frequency dividers, etc.) in a chip processing at high rate may be difficult or give unpredictable results.

+Abstract
+In this paper we present a new general framework for anisotropic elastoplasticity at large strains. The new framework presents the following characteristics: (1) It is valid for non-moderate large strains, (2) it is valid for both elastic and plastic anisotropy, (3) its description in rate form is parallel to that of the infinitesimal formulation, (4) it is compatible with the multiplicative decomposition, (5) results in a similar framework in any stress-strain work-conjugate pair, (6) it is consistent with the principle of maximum plastic dissipation and (7) does not impose any restriction on the plastic spin, which must be given as an independent constitutive equation. Furthermore, when formulated in terms of logarithmic strains in the intermediate configuration: (8) it may be easily integrated using a classical backward-Euler rule resulting in an additive update. All these properties are obtained simply considering a plastic evolution in terms of a corrector rate of the proper elastic strain. This formulation presents a natural framework for elastoplasticity of both metals and soft materials and solves the so-called rate issue. Keywords: Anisotropic material, Elastic-plastic material, Finite strains, Equations, Plastic flow rule.

+1. Introduction
+Constitutive models and integration algorithms for infinitesimal elastoplasticity are well established [1�3]. The currently favoured algorithmic formulations, either Cutting Plane Algorithms or Closest Point Projection ones are based on the concept of trial elastic predictor and subsequent plastic correction [4]. The implementations of the most efficient closest point projection algorithms perform both phases in just two subsequent substeps [5]. From the 70's, quite a high number of formulations have been proposed to extend both the continuum and the computational small strain formulations to the finite deformation regime. Very different ingredients have been employed in these formulations, as for example different kinematic treatments of the constitutive equations, different forms of the internal elastic-plastic kinematic decomposition, different types of stress and strain measures being used, different internal variables chosen as the basic ones and, most controversially, different evolution equations for the plastic flow. The combinations of these ingredients have resulted into very different extended formulations [6]. However, as a common characteristic, all the formulations are developed with the main aim of preserving as much as possible the simplicity of the classical return mapping schemes of the infinitesimal theory [7�9] through an algorithm that computes the closest point projection of the trial stresses onto the elastic domain.
+The first strategies to model finite strain elastoplasticity were based on both an additive decomposition of the deformation rate tensor into elastic and plastic contributions and a hypoelastic relation for stresses [10], see for example [11�14] among many others. Since the elastic stress relations are directly given in rate form and do not derive in general from a stored energy potential, some well-known problems may arise in these rate-form formulations, e.g. lack of objectivity of the resulting integration algorithms and the appearance of nonphysical energy dissipation in closed elastic cycles [15, 16]. Incrementally objective integration algorithms [17, 18] overcome the former drawback; the selection of the proper objective stress rate, i.e. the corotational logarithmic rate in the so-called self-consistent Eulerian model [19� 21] circumvents the latter one [22]. Even though this approach is still being followed by several authors [23�25] and may still be found in commercial finite element codes, the inherent difficulty associated to the preservation of objectivity in incremental algorithms makes these models less appealing from a computational standpoint [22, 26].
+Shortly afterwards the intrinsic problems of hypoelastic rate models arose, several hyperelastic frameworks formulated relative to different configurations emerged [27, 28]. Green-elastic, non-dissipative stresses are derived in these cases from a stored energy function, hence elastic cycles become path-independent and yield no
+2
+
+dissipation [29]. Furthermore, objectivity requirements are automatically satisfied by construction of the hyperelastic constitutive relations [4].
+In hyperelastic-based models, the argument of the stored energy potential from which the stresses locally derive is an internal elastic strain variable that has to be previously defined from the total deformation. Two approaches are common when large strains are considered. On the one hand, metric plasticity models propose an additive split of a given Lagrangian strain tensor into plastic and elastic contributions [30]. On the other hand, multiplicative plasticity models are based on the multiplicative decomposition of the total deformation gradient into plastic and elastic parts [31]. The main advantage of the former type is that the proposed split is parallel to the infinitesimal one, where the additive decomposition of the total strain into plastic and elastic counterparts is properly performed, so these models somehow retain the desired simplicity of the small strain plasticity models [28, 32, 33]. Another immediate consequence is that these models are readily extended in order to include anisotropic elasticity and/or plasticity effects [34�38]. However, it is well known that add hoc decompositions in terms of plastic metrics do not represent correctly the elastic part of the deformation under general, non-coaxial elastoplastic deformations [3, 35, 39, 40], hence its direct inclusion in the stored energy function may be questioned. For example, it has been found that these formulations do not yield a constant stress response when a perfectly plastic isotropic material is subjected to simple shear, a behavior which may be questionable [41]. Furthermore, it has been recently shown [42] that these formulations may even modify the ellipticity properties of the stored energy function at some plastic deformation levels, giving unstable elastic spring back computations as a result, which seems an unrealistic response. On the contrary, multiplicative plasticity models are micromechanically motivated from single crystal metal plasticity [43, 44]. The elastic part of the deformation gradient accounts for the elastic lattice deformation and the corresponding strain energy may be considered well defined. As a result, the mentioned plastic shear and elastic spring back degenerate responses do not occur in these physically sound models [41, 42].
+Restricting now our attention to the widely accepted hyperelasto-plasticity formulations based on the multiplicative decomposition of the deformation gradient [31, 45], further kinematic and constitutive modelling aspects have to be defined. On one side, even though spatial quadratic strain measures were firstly employed [46], they proved not to be natural in order to preserve plastic incompressibility, which had to be explicitly enforced in the update of the intermediate placement [47]. The fact that logarithmic strain measures inherit some properties from the infinitesimal ones, e.g. additiveness (only within principal directions), material-spatial metric preservation, same deviatoric-volumetric projections, etc., along with the excellent
+3
+
+predictions that the logarithmic strain energy with constant coefficients provided for moderate elastic stretches [48, 49], see also [50, 51], motivated the consideration of the quadratic Hencky strain energy in isotropic elastoplasticity formulations incorporating either isotropic or combined isotropic-kinematic hardening [52�56]. Exact preservation of plastic volume for pressure insensitive yield criteria is readily accomplished in this case. Moreover, the incremental schemes written in terms of logarithmic strains preserve the desired structure of the standard return mapping algorithms of classical plasticity models [56], hence providing the simplest computational framework suitable for geometrically nonlinear finite element calculations.
+On the other side, even though the use of logarithmic strain measures in actual finite strain computational elastoplasticity models has achieved a degree of common acceptance, a very controversial aspect of the theory still remains. This issue is the specific form that the evolution equations for the internal variables should adopt and how they must be further integrated [57], a topic coined as the "rate issue" by Simo� [56]. This issue originates, indeed, the key differences between the existing models. In this respect, the selection of the basic internal variable, whether elastic or plastic, in which the evolution equation is written becomes fundamental in a large deformation context. Evidently, this debate is irrelevant in the infinitesimal framework, where both the strains and the strain rates are fully additive. Early works [58�60] suggest that the same strain variable on which the material response depends, i.e. the internal elastic strains, should govern the internal dissipation [61]. This argument seems also reasonable from a numerical viewpoint taking into account that in classical integration algorithms [7�9] the trial stresses, which are elastic in nature and directly computed from the trial elastic strains, govern the dissipative return onto the elastic domain during the plastic correction substep. Following this approach, Simo� [56] used a continuum evolution equation for associative plastic flow explicitly expressed in terms of the Lie derivative of the elastic left Cauchy�Green deformation tensor (taken as the basic internal deformation variable [47]). He then derived an exponential return mapping scheme to yield a Closest Point Projection algorithm formulated in elastic logarithmic strain space identical in structure to the infinitesimal one, hence solving the "rate issue" [56]. However, the computational model is formulated in principal directions and restricted to isotropy, so arguably that debated issue was only partially solved. Extensions of this approach to anisotropy are scarce, often involving important modifications regarding the standard return mapping algorithms (cf. [61] and references therein).
+Instead, the probably most common approach when modeling large strain multiplicative plasticity in the finite element context lies in the integration of evolution equations for the plastic deformation gradient, as done originally by Eterovic and
+4
+
+Bathe [53] and Weber and Anand [52]. The integration is performed through an exponential approximation to the incremental flow rule [1], so these formulations are restricted to moderately large elastic strains [53, 62], which is certainly a minor issue in metal plasticity. However we note that it may be relevant from a computational standpoint if large steps are involved because the trial substep may involve nonmoderate large strains. Unlike Simo�'s approach, these models retain a full tensorial formulation, so further consideration of elastic and/or plastic anisotropy is amenable [62�70]. However, the consideration of elastic anisotropy in these models has several implications in both the continuum and the algorithmic formulations, all of them derived from the fact that the resulting thermodynamical stress tensor in the intermediate configuration, i.e. the Mandel stress tensor [71], is non-symmetric in general. Interestingly, the symmetric part of this stress tensor is, in practice, work-conjugate of the elastic logarithmic strain tensor for moderately large elastic deformations, which greatly simplifies the algorithmic treatment [62] in anisotropic metal plasticity applications. As a result, the model in [62], formulated in terms of generalized Kirchhoff stresses instead of Kirchhoff stresses and with the additional assumption of vanishing plastic spin, becomes the natural generalization of the Eterovic and Bathe model [53] to the fully anisotropic case, retaining at the same time the interesting features of the small strain elastoplasticity theory and algorithms.
+Summarizing, the computational model of Caminero et al. [62] is adequate for anisotropic elastoplasticity but not for non-moderate large elastic deformations. In contrast, the Simo� formulation [56] is valid for large elastic strains but not for phenomenological anisotropic elastoplasticity. In this work we present a novel continuum elastoplasticity framework in full space description valid for anisotropic elastoplasticity and large elastic deformations consistent with the Lee multiplicative decomposition. The main novelty is that, generalizing Simo�'s approach [56], internal elastic deformation variables are taken as the basic variables that govern the local dissipation process. The dissipation inequality is reinterpreted taking into account that the chosen internal elastic tensorial variable depends on the respective internal plastic variable and also on the external one. In this reinterpretation we take special advantage of the concepts of partial differentiation and mapping tensors [72]. The procedure is general and may be described in different configurations and in terms of different stress and strain measures, yielding as a result dissipation inequalities that are fully equivalent to each other. Respective thermodynamical symmetric stress tensors and associative flow rules expressed in terms of corrector elastic strain rates and general yield functions are trivially obtained consistently with the principle of maximum dissipation. We recover the Simo� framework from our spatial formulation specialized to isotropy and with the additional assumption of vanishing plastic
+5
+
+spin, as implicitly assumed in Ref. [56], see also [75]. Exactly as it occurs in the infinitesimal theory, in all the descriptions being addressed the plastic spin does not take explicit part in the associative six-dimensional flow rules being derived, hence bypassing the necessity of postulating a flow rule for the plastic spin as an additional hypothesis in the dissipation equation [73]. Special advantage is taken when the continuum formulation is written in terms of the logarithmic elastic strain tensor [74] and its work-conjugated generalized Kirchhoff symmetric stress tensor, both defined in the intermediate configuration. Then, the continuum formulation mimics the additive description in rate form of the infinitesimal elastoplasticity theory, the only differences coming from the additional geometrical nonlinearities arising in a finite deformation context. Furthermore, the unconventional appearance [56] of the well-known continuum evolution equation defining plastic flow in terms of the Lie derivative of the elastic left Cauchy�Green tensor in the current configuration [75] makes way for a conventional evolution equation in terms of the elastic logarithmic strain rate tensor in the intermediate placement, hence simplifying the continuum formulation to a great extent and definitively solving the "rate issue" directly in the logarithmic strain space. Remarkably, with the present multiplicative elastoplasticity model at hand, the generally non-symmetric stress tensor that has traditionally governed the plastic dissipation in the intermediate configuration, i.e. the Mandel stress tensor, is no longer needed.
+The rate formulation that we present herein in terms of logarithmic strains in the intermediate configuration may be immediately recast in a remarkably simple incremental form by direct backward-Euler integration which results in integration algorithms of similar additive structure to those of the infinitesimal framework. Indeed, the formulation derived herein is equivalent in many aspects to the anisotropic finite strain viscoelasticity model based on logarithmic strains and the Sidoroff multiplicative decomposition that we presented in Ref. [76]. As done therein, a first order accurate backward-Euler algorithm could be directly employed over the corrector logarithmic elastic strain rate flow rule obtained herein to yield a return mapping scheme in full tensorial form, valid for anisotropic finite strain responses, that would preserve the appealing structure of the classical return mapping schemes of infinitesimal plasticity without modification. For the matter of simplicity in the exposition of the new elastoplasticity framework, we do not include kinematic hardening effects in the formulation. Nevertheless, its further consideration would be straightforward.
+The rest of the paper is organized as follows. We next present in Section 2 the ideas for infinitesimal elastoplasticity in order to motivate and to prepare the parallelism with the finite strain formulation. Thereafter we present in Section 3 the large strain formulation in the spatial configuration performing such parallelism. We then

+particularize the present proposal to isotropy and demonstrate that some well-known formulations which are restricted to isotropy are recovered as a particular case from the more general, but at the same time simpler, anisotropic one. Section 4 is devoted to the formulation in the intermediate configuration, where a comparison with existing formulations is presented and some difficulties encountered in the literature are discussed. Section 5 presents the new approach to the problem at the intermediate configuration, both for quadratic strain measures and for our favoured logarithmic ones. In that section we also discuss the advantages and possibilities of the present framework.

+2. Infinitesimal elastoplasticity: two equivalent descriptions
+The purpose of this section is to motivate the concepts in the simpler infinitesimal description, showing a new subtle view of these equations which, thereafter result in a remarkable parallelism with the large strain formulations.
+Consider the Prandtl (friction-spring) rheological model for small strains shown in Figure 1 where  and  are the external, measurable infinitesimal strains and engineering stresses, respectively, and e and p are internal, non-measurable infinitesimal strains describing the internal elastic and plastic behaviors. The internal strains relate to the external ones through
+
+ = e + p
+
+(1)
+
+so if we know the total deformation and one internal variable, then the other internal variable is uniquely determined. We will consider  and p as the independent variables of the dissipative system and e will be the dependent internal variable. The
+

+
+which can be written as
+
+D =  :  - |e : e  0
+
+(8)
+
+where we have introduced the following notation for the total gradient--we use the notation d (�) /d() for total differentiation
+
+|e
+
+:=
+
+d (e) de
+
+(9)
+
+No dissipation takes place if we consider an isolated evolution of the external, independent variable  = 0 without internal variable evolution, i.e. with p = 0.
+
+8
+
+Then, from Eq. (3) e = e|p=0 =  and Eq. (8) reads
+
+D =  :  - |e : e|p=0 =
+
+ - |e
+
+:
+
+e 
+
+p =0
+
+:  = 0 if p = 0
+
+(10)
+
+which yields
+
+ = |e : e
+
+= |e : IS = |e
+
+ p=0
+
+(11)
+
+where we recognize the following definition based on a chain rule operation--note
+
+the abuse of notation  (e) =  (e (, p)) =  (, p); we keep the dependencies explicitly stated when the distinction is needed
+
+
+
+= |e
+
+:
+
+e 
+
+p =0
+
+=
+
+d de
+
+:
+
+e 
+
+p =0
+
+=
+
+d (e) de
+
+:
+
+e (, p) 
+
+=
+
+ (, p) 
+
+
+
+ 
+
+p=0
+
+(12)
+
+These definitions based on the concept of partial differentiation relate internal variables with external ones from a purely kinematical standpoint and will prove extremely useful in the finite deformation context, where they will furnish the proper pull-back and push-forward operations between the different configurations being defined.
+Consider now an isolated variation of the other independent variable in the problem, i.e. the case for which  = 0 and p = 0, which note is a purely internal (dissipative) evolution. Then from Eq. (3) e = e|=0 . The dissipation inequality of Eq. (8) must be positive because plastic deformation is taking place
+
+D = -|e : e|=0 > 0 if p = 0
+
+(13)
+
+We arrive at the same expression of Eq. (13) if we consider the most general case for which both independent variables are simultaneously evolving, i.e.  = 0 and
+p = 0. Hence note that both Eqs. (10) and (13) hold if either  = 0 or  = 0, so only the respective condition over p is indicated in those equations. Since in the infinitesimal framework of this section  = |e and e|=0 = -p, recall Eqs. (11) and (6), just in this case we can write Eq. (13) in its conventional form
+
+D =  : p > 0 if p = 0
+
+(14)
+
+9
+
+i.e. the dissipation must be positive when the (six-dimensional) frictional element in Figure 1 experiences slip. Interestingly, Equations (13) and (14) represent both the same physical concept, the former written in terms of the partial contribution e|=0 to the rate of the dependent internal variable e (, p) and the latter written in terms of the total rate p of the independent internal variable p. However note that they present a clearly different interpretation which will become relevant in the large strain framework.
+
+2.1. Local evolution equation in terms of e|=0
+Equation (13) is automatically fulfilled if we choose the following evolution equation for the internal strains e
+
+-
+
+e|=0
+
+=
+
+
+
+1 k
+
+N
+
+:
+
+|e

+which yields

+D

+|e k

+
+0

+if
+
+p = 0
+
+(16)
+
+where N is a fully symmetric positive definite fourth-order tensor, k > 0 is the
+
+characteristic yield stress of the internal frictional element of Figure 1 and  
+
+0 is the plastic strain rate component which is power-conjugate of the stress-like
+
+variable k, as we see just below. If the internal yield stress k is constant, the model
+
+describes the perfect plasticity case. If k = k () increases with an increment of the
+
+amount of plastic deformation  =
+
+t 0
+
+ dt,
+
+namely

+

+
+0,
+
+the
+
+model
+
+may incorporate non-linear isotropic hardening effects. We rephrase the dissipation
+
+Equation (16) as
+
+D
+
+=
+
+1 k2
+
+|e : N : |e - k2
+
+k + k > 0
+
+if
+
+ > 0
+
+(17)
+
+then we immediately recognize the yield function f (|e, k) and the loading-unloading
+
+conditions
+
+ > 0  f (|e, k) = |e : N : |e - k2 = 0
+
+(18)
+
+and
+
+f (|e, k) = |e : N : |e - k2 < 0   = 0
+
+(19)
+
+so we obtain the plastic dissipation (if any) as given by the (scalar) flow stress times
+
+the (scalar) frictional strain rate D = k  0 for   0.

+
+2.2. Local evolution equation in terms of p
+Using the equivalences given in Eqs. (11) and (6), the yield function of Eq. (18) is given in terms of the (external) stress tensor  as
+
+f (, k) =  : N :  - k2 = 2 () - k2 = 0 if  > 0
+
+(22)
+
+and the associative flow rule of Eq. (20) adopts the usual expression in terms of the
+
+(internal) plastic strain rate tensor p, cf. Eq. (2.5.6) of Ref. [4] or Eq. (87) of Ref.
+
+[5]
+
+p
+
+=
+
+
+
+  :N
+
+:
+
+
+
+(23)
+
+As we discuss below, the interpretation given in Eq. (20) greatly facilitates the extension of the infinitesimal formulation to the finite strain context without modification.
+
+2.3. Description in terms of trial and corrector elastic strain rates
+It is apparent from the foregoing results that, in practice, no distinction is needed within the infinitesimal framework regarding both the selection of either e or p as the basic internal deformation variable and the selection of either |e or  as the basic stress tensor. In what follows, however, we keep on developing the infinitesimal formulation in terms of e and |e, which will let us take special advantage of the functional dependencies e (, p) =  - p and |e (e) = d (e) /de.
+Regarding the evolution of elastic variables, whether strains or stresses, it is convenient to introduce the concepts of trial and corrector elastic strain rates in Eq. (3). This decomposition in rate form is the origin of the trial elastic predictor, for which p is frozen, and plastic corrector, for which  is frozen, operator split typically employed for elastic internal variables in computational inelasticity within an algorithmic framework. Accordingly, we define within the continuum theory
+
+e = e|p=0 + e|=0 =: tre + cte
+
+(24)
+
+11
+
+where the superscripts tr and ct stand for trial and corrector respectively. Interestingly, the concepts of trial and corrector elastic rates emerge in the finite deformation multiplicative framework developed below without modification with respect to the infinitesimal case, so we will be able to directly compare the small and large strain formulations equation by equation. We note that elastoplasticity models based on plastic metrics have traditionally followed the same philosophy, but departing from the standard rate decomposition
+
+e =  - p
+
+(25)
+
+which, however, leads to additive Lagrangian formulations [30], [32], [33], [34], [35],
+
+[36], [37], [38] that are not generally consistent with the finite strain multiplicative
+
+decomposition, as it is well-known [39], [41], [40], [42].
+
+For further comparison, we rephrase both the dissipation inequality of Eq. (13)
+
+and the associative flow rule of Eq. (20) in terms of the corrector elastic strain rate
+
+as
+
+D = -|e : cte > 0 if  > 0
+
+(26)
+
+and
+
+cte
+
+=
+
+-
+
+1 k
+
+
+
+(27)
+
+Note that the elastic strain correction performed in CPP algorithms and defined in
+
+Eq. (27) enforce the instantaneous closest point projection onto the elastic domain,
+
+i.e. the normality rule in the continuum setting.
+
+In the case we do not consider a potential, then the formulation is usually referred
+
+to as generalized plasticity [77], which is a generalization of nonassociative plasticity
+
+typically used in soils [78]. However, we can alternatively take
+
+cte
+
+=
+
+-
+
+1 k
+
+G(|e)
+
+(28)
+
+where the prescribed second-order tensor function G(|e) defines the direction of plastic flow. So Eq. (26) reads
+
+D
+
+=
+
+
+
+1 k
+
+|e
+
+:
+
+G
+
+if
+
+ > 0
+
+(29)
+
+even though positive dissipation and a fully symmetric linearization of the continuum theory are not guaranteed in this case [1]. Note that G =  for associative plasticity.
+
+12
+
+2.4. Maximum Plastic Dissipation
+We assume now the existence of another arbitrary stress field  = |e different from the actual stress field  = |e, as given in Eq. (11). The dissipation originated by |e during the same plastic flow process would be--cf. Eq. (26)
+
+D = -|e : cte if  > 0
+
+(30)
+
+The evolution of plastic flow, e.g. Eq. (27), is said to obey the Principle of Maximum
+
+Dissipation if
+
+D - D > 0
+
+(31)
+
+for any admissible stress field |e = |e, i.e. with f (|e, k)  0. Considering the associative flow rule of Eq. (27), we arrive at
+
+D - D
+
+= -(|e - |e) :
+
+cte
+
+=
+
+
+
+1 k
+
+(|e
+
+-
+
+|e)
+
+: 
+
+(32)
+
+If f (|e, k) = 2(|e) - k2 = 0 is a strictly convex function and |e is admissible
+
+D
+
+- D
+
+=
+
+
+
+1 k
+
+(|e
+
+- |e)
+
+:
+
+
+
+=
+
+
+
+1 2k
+
+(|e
+
+- |e)
+
+:
+
+f
+
+>
+
+0
+
+(33)
+
+i.e. maximum dissipation in the system is guaranteed (the equal sign would be possible if non-strictly convex functions are considered, as for example Tresca's one).
+In all the finite strain cases addressed below D - D > 0 if the corresponding associative flow rule for each case is considered. Indeed, this principle must hold in any arbitrary stress-strain work-conjugate couple, but if guaranteed in one of them, will hold in any of them by invariance of power.
+
+3. Finite strain anisotropic elastoplasticity formulated in the current configuration
+We present in this section a new framework for finite strain anisotropic elastoplasticity formulated in the current configuration in which the basic internal variables are elastic in nature. Once the corresponding dependencies are identified, the theory is further developed taking advantage of the previously introduced concepts of partial differentiation, mapping tensors and the trial-corrector decomposition of internal elastic variables in rate form. With the exception of the geometrical nonlinearities being introduced, the formulation yields identical expressions to those derived above for infinitesimal plasticity.

+
+3.1. Multiplicative decomposition
+The so-called Lee multiplicative decomposition [31] states the decomposition of the deformation gradient into an elastic part and a plastic part as
+
+X = XeXp
+
+(34)
+
+When using this decomposition, a superimposed rigid body motion by an orthogonal proper tensor Q results into
+
+X+
+
+=
+
+QX
+
+=
+
+X
+
++ e
+
+X
+
++ p
+
+=
+
+(QXe)
+
+(X p )
+
+(35)
+
+so the rigid body motion naturally enters the "elastic" gradient, whereas the plastic gradient remains unaltered. A much debated issue is the uniqueness of the inter-
+mediate configuration arising from Xp since any arbitrary rotation tensor Q with its inverse may be inserted such that X = (XeQ) (QT Xp), so the decomposition
+
+14
+
+of Eq. (34) is unique up to a rigid body rotation of the intermediate configuration. However, in practice, since Xp is path dependent and is integrated step-by-step in an incremental fashion in computational elastoplasticity algorithms [62, 79], we consider that it is uniquely determined at all times.
+
+3.2. Trial and corrector elastic deformation rate tensors
+
+Consider the following additive decomposition of the spatial velocity gradient
+
+tensor
+
+l
+
+:=
+
+X X-1
+
+=
+
+X
+
+eX

+
+=
+
+le
+
++
+
+X
+

+
+-1 e
+
+(36)
+
+where we define the elastic and plastic velocity gradients as
+
+le
+
+:=
+
+X
+
+e
+
+X
+
+-1 e
+
+and
+
+lp
+
+:=
+
+X
+
+pX
+
+-1 p
+
+(37)
+
+We note that le lies in the spatial configuration, whereas lp operates in the intermediate configuration. The deformation rate tensor (the symmetric part of l) and the spin tensor (its skew-symmetric part) are
+
+d = sym (l) and w = skw (l)
+
+(38)
+
+The elastic and plastic velocity gradient tensors also admit the corresponding decom-
+
+position into deformation rate and spin counterparts, le = de + we and lp = dp + wp, thereby from Eq. (36)
+
+d = de + sym
+
+X

+-1 e
+
+(39)
+
+w = we + skw
+
+X
+
+elp
+
+X
+
+-1 e
+
+(40)
+
+In general, from Eq. (39) we can consider the elastic deformation rate tensor as a two-variable function of the deformation rate tensor and the plastic velocity gradient tensor (including the plastic spin wp) through
+
+de(d, lp) = d - sym
+
+X
+

+
+It is frequently assumed in computational plasticity that the plastic spin vanishes,
+
+namely wp = 0, so its effects in the dissipation inequality are not taken into account. However, as in the small strain case discussed above, the plastic spin evolves indepen-
+
+dently of the normality flow rules being developed below in terms of corrector elastic
+
+rates, so no additional assumptions over wp will be prescribed by the dissipation process [73]. The a priori undetermined intermediate configuration, defined by Xp,
+
+would become determined once an independent constitutive equation for the plastic
+
+spin wp is specified [1], [68], [69], which is strictly needed in order to complete the model formulation.
+
+3.3. Dissipation inequality and flow rule in terms of ctde
+
+From purely physical grounds, we know that the strain energy function locally
+
+depends on an elastic measure of the deformation. Hence it may be expressed in terms
+
+of a Lagrangian-like elastic strain tensor lying in the intermediate configuration, e.g.
+
+the
+
+elastic
+
+Green�Lagrange-like
+
+strains
+
+Ae
+
+=
+
+1 2
+
+(X
+
+T e
+
+X
+
+e
+
+- I)
+
+where
+
+I
+
+is
+
+the
+
+second-
+
+order identity tensor, as
+
+A = A (Ae, a1  a1, a2  a2)
+
+(45)
+
+where we have additionally assumed that the material is orthotropic, with a1 and a2 (and a3 = a1 � a2) defining the orthogonal preferred directions in the intermediate configuration. As a first step in the derivation of more complex formulations including texture evolution, which involves an experimentally motivated constitutive equation additional to that for wp, see examples in Ref. [69] and references therein, we assume in this work that the texture of the material is permanent and independent of the plastic spin. That is, we consider the case for which wp = 0 is given as an additional equation so that the Lee decomposition is completely defined at each instant and we take a 1 = a 2 = a 3 = 0 as a simplifying assumption for the stresses update. Subsequently, the material time derivative of the Lagrangian potential A may be
+
+16
+
+expressed in terms of variables lying in the current configuration through
+
+ A
+

+
+dA (Ae) dAe

+

+
+ |e
+
+:
+
+de
+
+(46)
+
+where we have used the purely kinematical pull-back operation over de (lying in the current configuration) that gives A e (lying in the intermediate configuration) --see
+
+[72]

+=:
+
+MA e de
+
+:

+
+(47)
+
+which provides as a result the also purely kinematical push-forward operation over
+
+the internal elastic second Piola�Kirchhoff stress tensor (lying in the intermediate
+
+configuration)
+
+S|e
+
+:=
+
+dA (Ae) dAe
+
+(48)

+
+For further use, we can define the elastic Kirchhoff stress tensor  |e from the

+tensor
+
+ae

+both
+
+operating

+in

+the

+current
+
+placement, through partial differentiation of the strain energy function expressed in
+
+terms of the corresponding spatial variables. To this end, we first recall from scratch
+
+that different strain tensors, whether material or spatial, are referential (intensive)
+
+variables in the sense that they give local measures of the same (extensive) defor-
+
+mation with respect to different reference line elements. For example, consider the
+
+following (contravariant) relation between the elastic Almansi strain tensor ae and the elastic Green�Lagrange-like one Ae
+
+ae(Ae; Xe)
+
+=

+
+=
+
+ae (Ae; Xe) Ae
+
+:
+
+Ae
+
+(50)
+
+where we have intentionally separated the tensor variable dependencies ae (Ae; Xe) with a semicolon in order to make explicit the clearly different nature of both dependencies; the left-hand argument includes information about the same elastic deformation process that ae and Ae are measuring; the right-hand argument just includes information about the different referential configuration to which ae and Ae are being referred. We want to remark the conceptual difference existing between the functional dependence ae(Ae; Xe) in Eq. (50), which includes information about a single deformation process (hence we use a semicolon), with the functional dependence e (, p)
+
+17
+
+in Eq. (2), which includes information about two different deformation processes (hence we use a comma). As it is well known, the material derivative of ae is

+
+We can observe in Eq. (53) that, for a given local elastic deformation state defined by Ae and Xe, the contribution a e  de to the total rate a e depends on the objective material strain rate tensor A e only (i.e. a "true" deformation rate keeping the spatial reference fixed) and that the contribution ae to the total rate a e depends on the nonobjective deformation rate tensor X e only (i.e. a true spatial reference configuration rate keeping the deformation fixed). The latter contribution gives rise, indeed, to the well-known convective terms resulting in lack of objectivity of spatial variable rates.

+

+(55)
+
+Consider now the dependencies  |e(S|e; Xe). The rate of change of  |e with its spatial reference being fixed may be written in a better form for interpretation as

+ |e

+

+The interpretation given to ae (Ae; Xe) allow us to define the elastic Kirchhoff stress tensor  |e from the elastic Almansi strain tensor ae via the Eulerian description
+of the strain energy function a, as we show next. Since
+
+A (Ae) = a (ae; Xe) = a (ae (Ae; Xe) ; Xe)
+
+(57)
+
+we have

+

+(ae; Xe) ae
+

+(58)
+

+
+ associated to true (i.e. objective) strain rates, whether material or spatial.
+
+Using Eq. (46) and the stress power density per unit reference volume P =  : d,
+
+the dissipation inequality written in the current configuration reads

+
+(60)
+
+where  is the Kirchhoff stress tensor, power-conjugate of the deformation rate tensor d [72]. Using the decomposition given in Eq. (42), Eq. (60) can be written as
+
+D =  : d -  |e : trde + ctde  0
+
+(61)
+
+For the case of lp = 0, i.e. de = trde, we have no dissipation
+
+D =  : d -  |e : trde =
+
+
+
+-  |e
+
+:
+
+Mde d
+
+lp =0
+
+:d=0
+
+if
+
+lp = 0
+
+(62)
+
+so we obtain the following definition of the external Kirchhoff stresses  in terms of the internal elastic ones  |e, both operating in the current configuration and being
+
+19
+
+numerically coincident--cf. Eq. (11)
+
+ =  |e : Mdde lp=0 =  |e : IS =  |e
+
+(63)
+
+Following analogous steps as in the small strain formulation, the dissipation equation for the case when lp = 0, i.e. de = ctde, becomes--compare to Eq. (26)
+
+D = - |e : ctde > 0 if lp = 0
+
+(64)
+
+so we can define a flow rule in terms of an Eulerian plastic potential  through--
+
+compare to Eq. (27)
+
+ctde
+
+=
+
+-
+
+1 k
+
+
+
+(65)
+
+where  is the plastic consistency parameter, k the yield stress and
+
+
+
+:=
+
+
+
+ |e; Xe  |e
+
+(66)
+
+is the partial stress-gradient of the Eulerian potential  performed with the spatial referential configuration of its arguments remaining fixed, with   |e; Xe being an isotropic scalar-valued tensor function in its arguments in the sense that  (Q |eQT ; QXe) =   |e; Xe , i.e. invariant under rigid body motions--cf. Ref. [80] for an alternative, yet equivalent, interpretation. Hence, exactly as in the small strain case, note that the associative flow rule defined by Eq. (65) enforce a normal
+projection onto the elastic domain in a continuum sense and that the plastic spin does not explicitly take part in that six-dimensional equation, as one would desire
+in a large strain context [73]. Clearly, the internal elastic return is governed by the objective potential gradient  as given in Eq. (66).
+Positive dissipation is directly guaranteed in Eq. (64) if we choose--cf. Eq. (21)
+
+ ( |e; Xe)
+

+
+1 2

+|e

+(67)
+
+with N = N (Xe) standing for an elastic-deformation-dependent symmetric positivedefinite fourth-order tensor lying in the same configuration as de and  |e, i.e. the current configuration. For the reader convenience, we refer to Eq. (122) below, where
+the tensor N (Xe) is explicitly defined in terms of its Lagrangian-type logarithmic counterpart in the intermediate configuration. Thus
+
+
+
+=
+
+
+
+ |e; Xe  |e
+
+= N :  |e
+
+(68)

+

+
+N k2
+
+:
+

+
+(69)
+
+The yield function f ( |e, k; Xe) and the loading/unloading conditions are naturally identified in this last expression, i.e. --cf. Eq. (19)
+
+f ( |e, k; Xe) = 2 ( |e; Xe) - k2 =  |e : N :  |e - k2 = 0 if  > 0 (70)
+
+and
+
+ = 0 if f ( |e, k; Xe) = 2 ( |e; Xe) - k2 =  |e : N :  |e - k2 < 0 (71)
+
+whereupon we can write D = k  0 for   0.
+
+3.4. Dissipation inequality and flow rule in terms of spatial plastic rates We can re-write Eq. (65) using Eq. (44) as

+
+In the infinitesimal framework the internal variable being employed in the evolution

+(23). However in the finite strain case the evolution of the internal variables, whether
+elastic or plastic, require very different treatments, compare Eq. (65) with Eq. (72).
+We want also to remark that Eq. (72) is, in essence, Eq. (36.3) of Ref. [1] (note that our lp is their L�p, see Eq. (34.6) in Ref. [1]), which is further integrated therein with the plastic spin symmetrizing assumption skw (XelpX-e 1) = 0 by means of--cf. Table 36.1 and Eqs. (46.3) and (46.5) in Ref. [1]

+written in standard form if one considers corrector elastic rates (whether infinitesimal, Eulerian or Lagrangian) rather than plastic rates, recall the interpretation given above in Eq. (27) within the small strain setting and see below the description in the intermediate configuration. The reader can compare again Eqs. (20) and (23) and, in the light of the above lines see that they both indeed present clearly different views of the physics behind the same problem. This observation is again parallel to that presented in large strain viscoelasticity [76] where the use of the novel approach allowed for the development of phenomenological anisotropic formulations valid for large deviations from thermodynamic equilibrium.

+3.5. Comparison with other formulations which are restricted to isotropy
+
+In isotropic finite strain elastoplasticity formulations it is frequent the case in
+
+which the internal evolution equations in spatial description are expressed in terms
+
+of the Lie derivative of the elastic left Cauchy�Green-like deformation tensor [75, 81],
+
+an approach that goes back to the works of Simo� and Miehe [47, 56]. An analogous
+
+setting is encountered in isotropic finite strain viscoelasticity and viscoplasticity for-
+
+mulations [81�83]. We take advantage herein of the previous concepts of partial
+
+differentiation and mapping tensors in order to interpret some terms involving the

+
+simplifying hypothesis of isotropy is previously made to arrive at that result, see
+
+Eqs. (7.7) of the same Reference.
+

+
+The dissipation inequality given in Eq. (64) reads
+
+D = - |e : de|d=0 = - : le|l=0 > 0 if lp = 0
+
+(78)
+
+where we have used the fact that  |e =  is symmetric. If we additionally prescribe

+

+(80)
+
+which is the general flow rule of Eq. (65) when we add the simplifying assumption
+
+wp = 0. We remark that we have arrived at the same evolution equation in terms of de considering either wp = 0 or wp = 0, which means that the return to the elastic domain is, effectively, independent of the plastic spin wp in the intermediate configuration. An additional, independent constitutive equation for wp would be needed in order to describe the simultaneous evolution of the intermediate configuration.
+
+Finally, if the simplifying assumption of isotropic elasticity is made, Be commutes with  =  |e = 2(d (Be) /dBe)Be. If we additionally assume isotropic plastic behavior, then Be also commutes with both  = N :  |e and LBe and we recover
+the well-known, although "non-conventional" (recall remark in [56]), local evolution

+
+of Eq. (65) of general validity with the arguably more elusive one of Eq. (81), which
+
+is furthermore restricted to isotropy.
+
+4. Finite strain anisotropic elastoplasticity formulated in the intermediate configuration: the common approach in the literature
+As aforementioned, in the finite strain case the description of the internal variables evolution, whether elastic or plastic, require very different treatments, recall Eqs. (65) and (72) in the spatial description. Models for anisotropic multiplicative elastoplasticity are commonly formulated in the intermediate configuration using
+
+24
+
+evolution equations for internal variables that are plastic in nature, typically the plastic deformation gradient Xp. We briefly discuss this approach in this section.
+
+4.1. Dissipation inequality and flow rule in terms of lp
+Consider Eq. (64) written in terms of the plastic velocity gradient lp rather than in terms of the corrector-type elastic deformation rate tensor de|d=0 = ctde
+
+D
+
+=
+
+- |e
+
+:
+
+Mde lp
+
+d=0
+
+:

+
+0
+
+if
+
+lp = 0
+
+(82)
+
+where
+
+Mde lp d=0
+
+is the mapping tensor already defined in Eq.
+
+(44).
+
+We can define
+
+the power-conjugate stress tensor of lp as
+
+|e
+
+:=
+
+- |e
+
+:
+
+Mde lp
+
+d=0
+
+=
+
+1  |e 2

+ |e
+
+=
+
+X
+
+eS|eX
+
+T e
+
+|e = CeS|e
+
+(84)
+
+which is the common definition of the non-symmetric Mandel stress tensor in the intermediate configuration. The dissipation inequality is then
+
+D = |e : lp > 0 if lp = 0
+
+(85)
+
+which is fulfilled automatically employing the following nine-dimensional flow rule-- originally proposed by Mandel [45]
+
+lp
+
+=
+
+
+
+1 k
+
+
+
+(86)
+
+with
+
+

+

+
+|e
+
+:
+
+N
+
+:
+
+|e
+
+(87)
+
+where N is a positive-definite tensor with major symmetries but lacking minor symmetries. The added difficulty associated to the integration of this type of non-
+
+symmetric evolution equations for the plastic velocity gradient lp is apparent [67]. The experimental determination of the yield parameters included in N implies the consideration of additional tests with respect to the case in which a six-dimensional flow rule is considered. Furthermore, note that the plastic spin wp = skw (lp) is given from skw() in Eq. (86) as an additional assumption [73], which is a crucial difference with the small strain formulation.
+
+25
+
+4.2. Dissipation inequality and flow rule in terms of lp with wp = 0
+Plastic spin effects can be important in finite strain anisotropic plasticity [68]. However, the constitutive equation for the plastic spin wp = 0 is frequently considered in Eq. (85). This simplifying assumption leads to the following dissipation inequality--we define |se = sym(|e)
+
+D = |e : dp = |se : dp > 0 if dp = 0
+
+(88)
+
+and to the following six-dimensional anisotropic flow rule for the plastic deformation rate tensor--see [65][62] among many others

+Ns
+
+:
+
+|se
+
+
+

+for
+
+  0
+
+(91)
+
+which, following already customary steps, naturally defines the yield function fs(|se, k) = |se : Ns : |se - k2 = 0 for  > 0.
+If the hyperelastic response is modelled with the Hencky strain energy function
+
+in the intermediate configuration and the additional restriction to moderately large
+
+elastic deformations is taken, then |se is, in practice, the work-conjugate stress tensor
+
+of
+
+the
+
+elastic

+

+
+[62]. This consideration greatly facilitates the algorithmic implementation of this
+
+formulation based on the evolution of the plastic gradient tensor Xp by means of Eq. (89), retaining at the same time the main features of the isotropic logarithmic-
+
+strain-based formulation of Ref. [53].
+
+Consider now the isotropic elasticity case, for which elastic strains and stresses
+
+commute. Then, the Mandel stress tensor, as given in Eq. (83), simplifies to the
+
+internal, elastically rotated Kirchhoff stress tensor--we introduce herein the left polar
+
+decomposition of the elastic deformation gradient Xe = V eRe

+

+Weber and Anand [52] and Eterovic and Bathe [53]. However, note that it can also be used with anisotropic plasticity [84].
+
+5. Finite strain anisotropic elastoplasticity formulated in the intermediate configuration: our different proposed approach
+
+We present in this section a new framework for finite strain anisotropic elastoplasticity formulated in the intermediate configuration in which the basic internal variables are Lagrangian-like elastic measures consistent with the multiplicative decomposition. We show that similar functional dependencies to those used within the small strain theory may be established. The concepts of partial differentiation, mapping tensors and the trial-corrector elastic decomposition are firstly applied, just for motivation, to quadratic strains due to its analytical simplicity. An equivalent analysis in terms of logarithmic strain measures will allow us to derive a fully Lagrangian elastoplastic formulation in the intermediate configuration with an apparent similarity to the small strain one.
+
+5.1. Kinematic description in terms of ctA e
+
+From the Lee decomposition of Eq. (34), the total Green�Lagrange strains in
+
+the reference configuration and the elastic Green�Lagrange-like strains in the inter-
+
+mediate
+
+configuration
+
+are
+
+A :=
+
+1 2
+
+(X
+
+T
+
+X
+
+-
+
+I)
+
+and
+
+Ae
+
+:=
+
+1 2
+
+(X
+
+T e
+
+Xe
+
+-
+
+I).
+
+Following
+
+the idea introduced for small strains, and further applied to spatial deformation rate
+
+tensors, we write the dependent, internal elastic variable Ae as a function of the
+
+independent, external variable A and the independent, internal plastic variable Xp
+
+as
+
+Ae (A, Xp)
+
+=
+
+X
+
+-T p
+
+(A
+
+-
+
+Ap)
+
+X
+
+-1 p
+
+=
+
+X
+
+-T p
+
+
+
+X
+
+-T p
+
+:
+
+(A - Ap)
+
+(95)
+
+where the plastic Green�Lagrange strain tensor is defined in the reference config-
+
+uration
+
+as
+
+Ap
+
+:=
+
+1 2
+
+(X
+
+T p
+
+Xp
+
+-
+
+I).
+
+The total rate of Ae may be written applying
+
+27
+
+the chain rule of differentiation to the tensor-valued function of two tensor-valued variables Ae (A, Xp) as
+
+A e =
+
+Ae A
+
+X p=0
+
+: A +
+
+Ae Xp
+
+A =0
+
+: X p
+
+(96)
+
+where identifying terms, and for further use, we obtain the fourth-order partial gradient tensor--compare to the identity mapping tensor present in Eq. (43)
+
+Ae (A, Xp) A
+
+
+
+Ae A
+
+X p=0
+
+=
+
+X
+
+-T p
+
+
+
+X
+
+-T p
+
+
+
+MAA e
+
+X p=0
+
+(97)
+
+The fourth-order tensor of Eq. (97) is a purely geometrical tensor in the sense that it is known at any given deformation state in which the Lee factorization is known. The total rate of Ae in Eq. (96) may also be interpreted as the addition of the two independent trial and corrector contributions
+
+A e = A e X p=0 + A e A =0 = trA e + ctA e
+
+(98)
+
+Hence, and for further comparison with the logarithmic-based formulation, note that
+the fourth-order tensor of Eq. (97) furnishes the proper push-forward mapping over A , lying in the reference configuration, to give trA e (i.e. A e with X p = 0), lying in the intermediate configuration. Importantly, Equations (96) and (98) are fully con-
+sistent with the multiplicative decomposition of the deformation gradient, whereas
+the add-hoc plastic metric decomposition
+
+A e = A - A p
+
+(99)
+
+is not consistent with multiplicative plasticity, in general, recall Eq. (95).
+
+5.2. Dissipation inequality and flow rule in terms of natural corrector elastic strain rates
+
+We now draw our attention to the arguably more natural logarithmic strain frame-
+
+work, which we favour because of the natural properties of those strain measures
+
+[48], [49], [50], [51], [74], [42]. At large strains, both quadratic and Hencky strains
+
+are related by one-to-one mapping tensors [72]. Consider the explicit analytical
+
+dependence Ae (A, Xp) given in Eq. (95). Since the one-to-one, purely kinemat-
+
+ical
+
+relations
+
+Ae
+
+=
+
+Ae (Ee)
+
+and
+
+A
+
+=
+
+A (E)
+
+hold,
+
+where
+
+Ee
+
+=
+
+1 2
+
+ln(X
+
+T e
+
+Xe)
+
+and
+
+E
+
+=
+
+1 2
+
+ln(XT X)
+
+are
+
+the
+
+elastic
+
+and
+
+total
+
+material
+
+logarithmic
+
+strain
+
+tensors
+
+in
+
+their
+
+28
+
+respective configurations, we have also the generally implicit dependence Ee (E, Xp).
+
+Hence, analogously to Eq. (96), we can decompose the internal elastic logarithmic
+
+strain rate tensor E e by means of the addition of two partial contributions--cf. Eq.
+
+(3)
+
+E e =
+
+Ee E
+
+X p=0
+
+: E +
+
+Ee Xp
+
+E =0
+
+: X p =
+
+E e
+
+X p=0
+
++ E e
+
+E =0
+
+(100)
+
+As in the small strain case, this decomposition in rate form is the origin of the opera-
+
+tor split typically employed for elastic internal variables in computational inelasticity
+
+within an algorithmic framework. As well known, this operator split consists of a
+
+trial elastic predictor, for which Xp is frozen, and a plastic corrector, for which E is frozen. The reader is again referred to Ref. [76] for an algorithmic implementation
+
+of this type in the context of viscoelasticity. Accordingly, we define the trial and corrector contributions to E e within the finite strain continuum theory as--cf. Eqs.
+(24)
+
+E e = E e X p=0 + E e E =0 =: trE e + ctE e
+
+(101)
+
+i.e., for a given state of deformation X = XeXp at a given instant, the trial elastic
+
+contribution trE e to the total elastic logarithmic strain rate E e depends on the
+
+total logarithmic strain rate E only (i.e. Xp is frozen) and the plastic corrector
+
+contribution ctE e to the total elastic logarithmic strain rate E e depends on the total
+
+plastic deformation gradient rate X p only (i.e. E is frozen).
+
+We want to remark that the general expression in rate form given in Eq. (100)1
+
+particularizes to
+
+E e = E - E p
+
+(102)
+
+in very few special cases only, e.g. axial loadings along preferred axes in orthotropic materials. Hence, formulations based on ad-hoc decompositions of the form Ee = E - Ep involving the so-called plastic metric (from which Eq. (102) is immediately derived), cf. [33], [35], [37], [38] and also [40], are not generally consistent with the continuum kinematic formulation derived from the Lee decomposition which is represented by Eq. (100) in the most general case and that we use in the present work, and analogously in Ref. [76], without further simplifications.
+The dissipation inequality written in terms of Lagrangian logarithmic strains can be seemingly obtained from Eq. (60) as
+
+D = P -  E = T : E - T |e : E e  0
+
+(103)
+
+where E (Ee) is the orthotropic strain energy function given in this case in terms
+
+29
+
+of elastic logarithmic strains--with the simplifying assumption a 1 = a 2 = a 3 = 0
+
+E = E (Ee, a1  a1, a2  a2)
+
+(104)
+
+and
+
+T |e
+
+=
+
+dE (Ee) dEe
+
+(105)
+
+is the internal generalized Kirchhoff stress tensor that directly derives from E (Ee),
+
+which is the work-conjugate stress tensor of Ee in the most general case [72].
+
+Following the already customary arguments, if X p = 0 we have E e  E e|X p=0 = trE e and
+
+D = T : E - T |e : trE e = 0 if X p = 0
+
+(106)
+
+so we arrive at--cf. Eq. (11)
+
+T
+
+= T |e
+
+:
+
+Ee E
+
+X p=0
+
+=
+
+E (Ee) E
+
+X p=0
+
+(107)
+
+with the fourth-order tensor Ee/E|X p=0 , present in Eq. (100), furnishing the proper mappings between E and trE e and also between T |e and T when the inter-
+mediate configuration remains fixed, so
+
+ E
+
+X p=0
+
+=
+
+tr E
+
+= T |e
+
+:
+
+trE e
+
+= T |e
+
+:
+
+Ee E
+
+X p=0
+
+: E
+
+=T
+
+: E
+
+(108)
+
+On the other side, the dissipation equation whenever X p = 0 reduces to--cf. Eq.
+
+(26)
+
+D = -T |e : ctE e > 0 if  > 0
+
+(109)
+
+The following flow rule may be chosen--cf. Eq. (27)
+
+ctE e
+
+=
+
+-
+
+1 k
+
+T
+
+(110)
+
+where T (T |e) is a Lagrangian internal potential function. The convex potential
+
+T (T |e)
+
+=
+
+1 2
+

+
+|e

+T |e
+
+>
+
+0
+
+if
+
+ > 0
+
+(112)
+
+when NT is a positive-definite fully symmetric fourth order tensor. Note that Eq. (110) provokes the instantaneous closest-point projection to the elastic domain in a continuum sense in the logarithmic space. Furthermore, consistently with the normality rule emanating from the principle of maximum dissipation [73], the plastic spin in the intermediate configuration wp does not take explicit part in Eq. (110). Once the hyperelastic stress-strain relations are assumed and a yield condition is postulated, the associative flow rule given in Eq. (110) can be integrated independently of the plastic spin evolution. In this respect, note that the direct integration of Eq. (110) in terms of the symmetric internal elastic strain variable Ee during the corresponding algorithmic corrector phase is completely equivalent to the (certainly more challenging) integration of the following evolution equation for X p = lpXp --see second addends in Eq. (100)
+
+Ee Xp
+
+E =0
+
+: (dp + wp)Xp
+
+=
+
+-
+
+1 k
+
+T
+
+(113)
+
+Once the symmetric flow given by Eq. (110) is integrated, the intermediate configuration, defined by Xp, remains undetermined up to an arbitrary finite rotation Re [46], which may be finally updated during the convergence phase for the computation of the next incremental load step, as we already did in a similar multiplicative framework based on the Sidoroff decomposition for viscoelasticity [76].
+The six-dimensional elastic-corrector-type flow rule of Eq. (110) is to be compared to the nine-dimensional plastic-corrector-type flow rule given in Eq. (86) and its simplified version with wp = 0 of Eq. (89). The conventional appearance of the elastic-corrector-type flow rule of Eq. (110) for anisotropic elastoplasticity is also to be compared to the non-conventional appearance of the elastic-corrector-type flow rule of Eq. (81) for isotropic elastoplasticity (which implicitly assumes wp = 0 as well). Clearly, Eq. (110) yields the optimal computational parametrization (cf. Ref. [76]) for anisotropic multiplicative plasticity in the sense that will allow the development of a new class of algorithms that exactly preserve the classical return mapping schemes of the infinitesimal theory, hence circumventing definitively the "rate issue" [56]. In this respect, since E = E (Ee), then Eq. (109) reads--note that the next
+
+31
+
+interpretation is possible due to the choice of Ee as the basic internal variable
+
+-D

+
+=
+
+ct E
+
+<
+
+0
+
+if
+
+ > 0
+
+(114)
+
+whereupon the dissipation rate is governed in the intermediate configuration by the corrector logarithmic strain rate symmetric tensor ctE e and its power conjugate generalized Kirchhoff stress symmetric tensor T |e, which follows the ideas originally
+postulated by Eckart [58], Besseling [59] and Leonov [60], see Ref. [61]. Remarkably,
+with the present multiplicative formulation at hand, the thermodynamical stress ten-
+sor that has traditionally governed the dissipation in the intermediate configuration
+along with the non-symmetric plastic deformation rate tensor lp, i.e. the generally non-symmetric Mandel stress tensor |e of Eq. (84) [71], [45], see Eq. (85), is not
+explicitly needed any more.
+
+5.3. The stem yield function
+We have seen that the dissipation equation, expressed in terms of correctors elastic strain rates, may be written in any configuration and in terms of any arbitrary pair of stress and strain work-conjugate measures. Their selections are a matter of preference related to the stored energy function to be employed and to the configuration where the yield function is to be defined. It is not clear which one should be the stem configuration, i.e. the configuration for which the tensor N is considered constant. We coin herein this crucial aspect of the theory as the "yield function configuration issue".
+On one hand, it seems reasonable to choose the intermediate configuration as the stem configuration so invariance is naturally obtained and N does not depend on the elastic strains or equivalently on the stress tensor. On the other hand, using NS as the tensor of constants in the intermediate configuration results in a yield function in the current configuration in terms of  |e with nonorthogonal preferred directions and depending of the elastic deformation through N (Xe), cf. Eq. (67).
+Based on the understanding of the logarithmic strains evolution as the natural generalization of the small strains one, see Ref. [74], our preference herein (as well as in Refs. [62, 68]) are the internal elastic logarithmic strains in the intermediate configuration Ee and their work-conjugate internal generalized Kirchhoff stresses T |e, namely those governing the dissipation in Eqs. (109) and (114). Consistently, our preference is to choose NT as the specific tensor of yield constants associated to the preferred material planes. Since NT lies in the intermediate configuration and fT (T |e, k) is written in terms of (material) generalized elastic Kirchhoff stresses, its natural push-forward to the current configuration (performed with the elastic
+
+32
+
+rotations Re) leads to a yield function in terms of the (spatial) generalized elastic Kirchhoff stresses that preserves the orthogonality of the main material directions in NT and that is still constant in the elastically rotated frame. We further note that when loading in principal material axes or considering elastic isotropy (even with plastic anisotropy) the generalized elastic Kirchhoff stresses T |e are the rotated elastic Kirchhoff stresses  |e of Eq. (92) [72]. Furthermore, the numerical integration of the flow rule of Eq. (110) may be directly performed with a backward-Euler additive scheme, without explicitly employing exponential mappings, and plastic volume preservation is automatically accomplished for models of plasticity possessing a pressure insensitive yield criterion, hence rendering the most natural generalization of the classical return mapping algorithms of the infinitesimal theory [76].
+Proceeding exactly as in both the small strain case and the finite strain spatial framework, we identify in Eq. (112) the following yield function fT (T |e, k) and the loading/unloading conditions, i.e.
+
+fT (T |e, k) = 2T (T |e) - k2 = T |e : NT : T |e - k2 = 0 if  > 0
+
+(115)
+
+and
+
+ = 0 if fT (T |e, k) = 2T (T |e) - k2 = T |e : NT : T |e - k2 < 0
+
+(116)
+
+whereupon we obtain the dissipation in terms of the (characteristic) internal flow stress k > 0 and the (characteristic) frictional deformation rate   0 as
+
+D = k  0 for   0
+
+(117)
+
+5.3.1. Change of stress measures and configuration
+
+The yield function may be written also in the reference or current configurations or
+
+as a function of any other stress measure, still being exactly the same yield condition.
+
+For example, the potential T (T |e) may be expressed in terms of the second Piola�

+

+this purpose), and vice-versa. Note also that once the stem configuration has been
+
+decided, k is the same constant for any case and that the dissipation D = k is of
+
+course an invariant value independent also of the chosen stress/strain couple.
+
+5.3.2. Other possible yield functions
+
+The form of the yield function of Eq. (115) includes just some of the possibilities. Other more general possibilities may be considered. For example, assume the
+
+potential
+
+T
+
+=
+
+1 2
+
+T
+
+|e
+
+:
+
+NT
+
+:
+
+T |e
+
++
+
+NT
+
+:
+
+T |e
+
+(123)
+
+where N T is a second order tensor. Then Eq. (110) yields
+
+ctE e
+
+=
+
+-
+
+1 k
+
+(NT
+
+:
+
+T |e
+
++ NT)
+
+(124)
+
+and Eq. (109) gives
+
+D
+
+=
+
+
+
+1 k
+
+(T
+
+|e
+
+:
+
+NT
+
+:
+
+T |e
+
++ NT
+
+:
+
+T |e)
+
+>
+
+0
+
+if
+
+ > 0
+
+where we identify the yield function
+
+(125)
+
+f�T := T |e : NT : T |e + N T : T |e - k2 = 0 if  > 0
+
+(126)
+
+34
+
+so
+
+D = k  0 for   0
+
+(127)
+
+For example if NT = PS is the fourth-order deviatoric projection tensor in the logarithmic strain space (i.e. the same one as in the small strain case) and N T = 0, then we recover a von-Mises-like yield surface defined in terms of the stresses T |e
+in the intermediate configuration. For the case of N T = 0 and NT a fourth-order orthotropic deviatoric tensor, then we obtain a Hill-like yield criterion. For the case NT = PS and N T = I, with  being a scalar, we obtain a Drucker-Prager-like yield criterion [16, 78]. And so forth. Of course, non-associative flow rules are possible as well (cf. the equivalent Eqs. (28) and (29)), but then positive dissipation and symmetric response linearization are not guaranteed, as it is known [1].
+
+5.4. Determination of model internal parameters
+The internal stress tensor T |e, as given in Eq. (105), is defined in the intermediate configuration, hence it is not measurable. This means that the specific form of the constitutive relations, especially of the yield condition, is built up with nonmeasurable quantities. We show in this section that the internal parameters of the selected model can be obtained from experimental testing in any case. We address the yield function determination as an example.
+Consider the internal yield function given in Eq. (115). The corresponding external stress tensor is given by Eq. (107). Assume now that we want to determine the Hill-type yield function parameters, included in the fourth order tensor NT , and the internal flow stress k from experimental tests. We consider a uniaxial test performed over a preferred axis of the corresponding orthotropic material at hand. Since there are no rotations present, all the strain tensors (elastic, plastic and total) are coaxial so logarithmic strains are additive, i.e.
+
+X = U = UeUp  E = Ee + Ep
+
+(128)
+
+so the general relation Ee (E, Xp) specifies for this particular case to
+
+Ee = E - Ep
+
+(129)
+
+The purely kinematical mapping tensor present in Eq. (107) particularizes to the fourth-order identity tensor
+
+Ee E
+
+X p=0
+
+=
+
+ (E - Ep) E
+
+X p=0
+
+=
+
+E E
+
+=I
+
+(130)
+
+35
+
+and the external stress T during the uniaxial test reduces to
+
+T = T |e
+
+(131)
+
+Therefore, the yield function during the uniaxial test is exactly recast as
+
+f (T |e, k)  f (T , k) = T : NT : T - k2
+
+(132)
+
+Furthermore, the generalized Kirchhoff stress tensor T , which is work-conjugate of the logarithmic strain tensor, is coincident with the Kirchhoff stress tensor  for rotationless cases along preferred directions [72]. Thus we also have the identity
+
+f (T |e, k)  f (T , k)  f ( , k) =  : NT :  - k2
+
+(133)
+
+and the yield function becomes expressed in terms of stress quantities being fully measurable. When yielding takes place
+
+ = y
+
+(134)
+
+is known, where  y includes the corresponding Kirchhoff flow stress components, and also f ( , k) = 0.
+It can be shown that similar expressions hold for shear tests within material preferred planes, where the purely kinematical internal-to-external mapping, relating internal stresses to external stresses, is always known at each deformation state. Hence, the fourth order tensor NT and the internal yield function parameter k, that define the internal yield function, can be completely determined from the proper number of measured experimental data.
+Finally, this yield function can be used in further calculations involving general three-dimensional deformation states, because in these cases we always know the internal strain Ee obtained from the Lee decomposition, and consequently T |e.
+
+6. Numerical example
+In this example we simulate numerically three cyclic tension-compression uniaxial tests along orthotropy material axes in order to show that the logarithmic-based model reproduces some basic elastoplastic responses within an incompressible orthotropic finite strain context. The integration of the corrector-elastic-type flow rule of Eq. (110) is performed during plastic steps employing a simple backward-Euler additive formula, see details in Ref. [76]. In this elastoplasticity case, the yield condition fulfillment is an additional constraint to be imposed during local iterations.

+specific example. In order to complete the definition of the model within preferred axes Xpr, we assume a Hill-type pressure-insensitive yield function with no hardening. The yield function of Eq. (115) simplifies to Eq. (133) with NT = PS : N� T : PS, where N� T is a fourth-order "diagonal" tensor (when it is represented in matrix, Voigt notation in preferred directions) containing independent yielding weight factors [2] and PS is the fourth-order deviatoric projection tensor. Only the axial-to-axial components of the matrix representation of the tensor NT are needed for in-axes loading cases, so we consider the left-upper 3 � 3 matrix blocks of the respective

+
+and also prescribe k = k0 = 10 MPa in Eq. (133). From the strain energy of Eq. (135) we can analytically calculate the preferred
+Young moduli [76]
+
+Y1 = 62/5 = 12.4 MPa , Y2 = 62/7 = 8.857 MPa , Y3 = 31/4 = 7.75 MPa (137)
+
+On the other side, Equation (133) with k = k0 = 10 MPa and the axial-to-axial components of NT given in Eq. (136), specialized for the three tests separately gives the following yield stresses as result--note additionally that Cauchy stresses
+
+are coincident with Kirchhoff stresses by incompressibility
+
+
+
+
+
+y1 = 10 MPa , y2 = 5 3 = 8.66 MPa , y3 = 2 15 = 7.746 MPa (138)
+
+We can verify in Figure 2 that the values of Eqs. (137) and (138), which have been calculated analytically, are effectively reproduced by the simulations, for which only the internal model parameters �1, �2, �3, k, (N� T )22/(N� T )11 = 2 and (N� T )33/(N� T )11 = 3 have been defined. We can also observe that a perfect plasticity case, i.e. with no hardening, is obtained and that both elastic and plastic strains are large.
+
+7. Conclusion
+In this paper we have presented a novel framework for elastoplasticity at large strains. This framework, grounded in the multiplicative decomposition, naturally solves the "rate issue"; i.e. the flow rule is naturally obtained in terms of a corrector elastic strain rate which simply results to be a partial contribution to the total rate of such strain, exactly as in the small strain theory. The new approach results in essentially the same type of equations in small strains and in large strains, and whether the latter are integrated in the intermediate or in the spatial configurations. The continuum framework also naturally results in the typical two stages of the algorithmic integration of elastoplastic equations: the trial elastic predictor and the plastic corrector. Hence the development of integration algorithms employing this proposal is straightforward by the direct use of the backward-Euler integration rule over the corrector logarithmic strain rate without explicitly employing exponential mappings. The large strain formulation, being simpler than most proposals in the

+literature, is also general, meaning that it is not restricted to moderate elastic strains and it is not restricted to isotropy. Furthermore, as shown in the manuscript, there is no need to perform any dissipation hypothesis in the plastic spin, which remains uncoupled and completely independent of the integration of the symmetric flow. The present formulation may be equally employed in metal plasticity or in the plastic behavior of soft materials.

+Abstract Alzheimer's disease (AD) causes alterations of brain network structure and function. The latter consists of connectivity changes between oscillatory processes at different frequency channels. We proposed a multi-layer network approach to analyze multiple-frequency brain networks inferred from magnetoencephalographic recordings during resting-states in AD subjects and age-matched controls.
+Main results showed that brain networks tend to facilitate information propagation across different frequencies, as measured by the multi-participation coefficient (M P C). However, regional connectivity in AD subjects was abnormally distributed across frequency bands as compared to controls, causing significant decreases of M P C. This effect was mainly localized in association areas and in the cingulate cortex, which acted, in the healthy group, as a true inter-frequency hub.
+M P C values significantly correlated with memory impairment of AD subjects, as measured by the total recall score. Most predictive regions belonged to components of the default-mode network that are typically affected by atrophy, metabolism disruption and amyloid- deposition. We evaluated the diagnostic power of the M P C and we showed that it led to increased classification accuracy (78.39%) and sensitivity (91.11%).

+1. Introduction
+Recent advances in network science has allowed new insights in the brain organization from a system perspective. Characterizing brain networks, or connectomes, estimated from neuroimaging data as graphs of connected nodes has not only pointed out important network features of brain functioning - such as smallworldness, modularity, and regional centrality - but it has also led to the development of biomarkers quantifying reorganizational mechanisms of disease (1). Among others, Alzheimer's disease (AD), which causes progressive cognitive and functional impairment, has received great attention by the network neuroscience community (1�3). AD is histopathologically defined by the presence of amyloid- plaques and tau-related neurofibrillary tangles, which cause loss of neurons and synapses in the cerebral cortex and in certain subcortical regions (2). This loss results in gross atrophy of the affected regions, including degeneration in the temporal and parietal lobe, and parts of the frontal cortex and cingulate gyrus (4).
+Structural brain networks, whose connections correspond to inter-regional axonal pathways are therefore directly affected by AD because of connectivity disruption in several areas including cingulate cortices and hippocampus (5, 6). A decreased number of fiber connections eventually lead to a number of network changes on multiple topological scales. At larger scales, AD brain networks estimated from diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) showed increased characteristic path length as compared to healthy subjects leading to a global loss of network smallworldness (2, 7). Similar topological alterations have been also documented in resting-state brain networks estimated from functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) (8), as well as from magneto/electroencephalographic (M/EEG) signals, the latter ones often reported within the alpha frequency range (8-13 Hz) which is typically affected in AD (9�11). On smaller topological scales, structural brain network studies have demonstrated a loss of connector hubs in temporal and parietal areas that correlates with cognitive decline (2, 12, 13). In addition, higher-order association regions appear to be affected in functional brain networks inferred from fMRI (2, 14) and MEG signals, the latter showing a characteristic loss of parietal hubs in higher (> 14 Hz) frequency ranges (15, 16).
+Graph analysis of brain networks has advanced our understanding of the organizational mechanisms underlying human cognition and disease, but a certain number of issues still remain to be addressed (17, 18). For example, conventional approaches analyze separately brain networks obtained at different frequency bands, or in some cases, they simply focus on specific frequencies, thus neglecting possible insights of other spectral contents on brain functioning (17). However, several studies have hypothesized and reported signal interaction or modulations between different frequency bands that are supportive of cognitive functions such as memory formation (19�21). Moreover, recent evidence shows that neurodegenerative processes in AD do alter functional connectivity in different frequency bands (16, 22, 23). How to characterize this multiple information from a network perspective still remains poorly explored. Here, we proposed a multi-layer network approach to study multi-frequency connectomes as networks of interconnected layers, containing the connectivity maps extracted from different bands. Multi-layer network theory has been previously used to synthesize MEG connectomes from a whole population (24), characterize temporal changes in dynamic fMRI brain networks (12), and integrating structural information from multimodal imaging (fMRI, DTI) (25, 26). Its applicability to multi-frequency brain networks has been recently illustrated in fMRI
+2
+
+connectomes for which, however, the frequency ranges of interest remains quite limited (27).
+We focused on source-reconstructed MEG connectomes, characterized by rich frequency dynamics, that were obtained from a group of AD and control subjects in eyesclosed resting-state condition. We hypothesized that the atrophy process in AD would lead to an altered distribution of regional connectivity across different frequency bands and we used the multiplex participation coefficient to quantify this effect both at global and local scale (28). We evaluated the obtained results, which provide a novel view of the brain reorganization in AD, with respect to standard approaches based on single-layer network analysis and flattening schemes (29). Finally, we tested the diagnostic power of the measured brain network features to discriminate AD patients and healthy subjects.
+2. Methods
+2.1. Experimental design and data pre-processing The study involved 25 Alzheimer's diseased (AD) patients (13 women) and 25 healthy
+age-matched control (HC) subjects (18 women). All participants underwent the MiniMental State Examination (MMSE) for global cognition (30) and the Free and Cued Selective Reminding Test (FCSRT) for verbal episodic memory (31�33). Specifically, we considered the Total Recall (TR) score - given by the sum of the free and cued recall scores - which has been demonstrated to be highly predictive of AD (34).
+Inclusion criteria for all participants were: i) age between 50 and 90; ii) absence of general evolutive pathology; iii) no previous history of psychiatric diseases; iv) no contraindication to MRI examination; v) French as a mother tongue. Specific criteria for AD patients were: i) clinical diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease; ii) Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score greater or equal to 18. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) acquisitions were obtained using a 3T system (Siemens Trio, 32-channel system, with a 12-channel head coil). The MRI examination included a 3D T1-weighted volumetric magnetization-prepared rapid-gradient echo (MPRAGE) sequence with 1mm isotropic resolution and the following parameters: repetition time (TR)=2300 ms, echo time (TE)=4.18ms, inversion time (TI)=900 ms, matrix=256x256. This sequence provided a high contrast-to-noise ratio and enabled excellent segmentation of high grey/white matter.
+The magnetoencephalography (MEG) experimental protocol consisted in a restingstate with eyes-closed (EC). Subjects seated comfortably in a dimly lit electromagnetically and acoustically shielded room and were asked to relax and fix a central point on the screen. MEG signals were collected using a whole-head MEG system with 102 magnetometers and 204 planar gradiometers (Elekta Neuromag TRIUX MEG system) at a sampling rate of 1 000 Hz and on-line low-pass filtered at 330 Hz. The ground electrode was located on the right shoulder blade. An electrocardiogram (EKG) Ag/AgCl electrodes was placed on the left abdomen for artifacts correction and a vertical electrooculogram (EOG) was simultaneously recorded. Four small coils were attached to the participant in order to monitor head position and to provide co-registration with the anatomical MRI. The physical landmarks (the nasion, the left and right pre-auricular points) were digitized using a Polhemus Fastrak digitizer (Polhemus, Colchester, VT).
+We recorded three consecutive epochs of approximately 2 minutes each. All subjects gave written informed consent for participation in the study, which was approved by
+3
+
+the local ethics committee of the Pitie-Salpetriere Hospital. Signal space separation was performed using MaxFilter (35) to remove external noise. We used in-house software to remove cardiac and ocular blink artifacts from MEG signals by means of principal component analysis. We visually inspected the preprocessed MEG signals in order to remove epochs that still presented spurious contamination. At the end of the process, we obtained a coherent dataset consisting of three clean preprocessed epochs for each subject.
+2.2. Source reconstruction, power spectra and brain connectivity
+We reconstructed the MEG activity on the cortical surface by using a source imaging technique (36, 37). We used the FreeSurfer 5.3 software (surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu) to perform skull stripping and segment grey/white matter from the 3D T1-weighted images of each single subject (38, 39). Cortical surfaces were then modeled with approximately 20000 equivalent current dipoles (i.e., the vertices of the cortical meshes). We used the Brainstorm software (40) to solve the linear inverse problem though the wMNE (weighted Minimum Norm Estimate) algorithm with overlapping spheres (41). Both magnetometer and gradiometer, whose position has been registered on the T1 image using the digitized head points, were used to localize the activity over the cortical surface. The reconstructed time series were then extracted from 148 regions of interest (ROIs) defined by the Destrieux atlas (42).
+We computed the power spectral density (PSD) of the ROI signals by means of the Welch's method; we chose a 2 seconds sliding Hanning window, with a 25% overlap. The number of FFT points was set to 500 for a frequency resolution of 0.5Hz. We estimated functional connectivity by calculating the spectral coherence between each pair of ROI signals (43). As a result, we obtained for each subject and epoch, a connectivity matrix of size 148 � 148 where the (i, j) entry contains the value of the spectral coherence between the signals of the ROI i and j at a frequency f .
+We then averaged the connectivity matrices within the following characteristic frequency bands (44, 45):  (2-4 Hz);  (4-8 Hz);  = 1 (8-10.5 Hz) and 2 (10.5-13 Hz);  = 1 (13-20 Hz) and 2 (20-30 Hz);  (30-45 Hz). We further averaged the resulting connectivity matrices across epochs to obtain our raw individual brain networks whose nodes were the ROIs (n = 148) and links, or edges, were the spectral coherence values.
+2.3. Single-layer network analysis
+In order to cancel the weakest noisy connections, we thresholded the values in the connectivity matrices and retained the same number of links in each brain network at every frequency band, or layer. We considered six representative connection density thresholds corresponding to an average node degree k = {1, 3, 6, 12, 24, 48}. These values cover the density range [0.007, 0.327] which contains the typical density values used in complex brain network analysis (17, 18, 46). The resulting sparse brain networks, or graphs, were represented by adjacency matrices A, where the aij entry indicates the presence or absence of a link between nodes i and j.
+2.3.1. Participation coefficient Given a network partition, the local participation coefficient (P Ci) of a node i mea-
+sures how evenly it is connected to the different clusters, or modules of the network (47).
+4
+
+Nodes with high participation coefficients are considered central hubs as they allow for the information exchange among different modules. The global participation coefficient P C of a network at layer  is then given by the average of the P Ci values:
+
+P C[] = 1 n
+
+N
+
+P Ci[]
+

+
+1 n
+

+
+i=1
+
+i=1
+
+M []
+1-
+m=1
+
+ki[,m] ki[]
+
+2
+,
+
+(1)
+
+where ki[,m] is the number of weighted links from the node i to the nodes of the module m of the layer . By construction, P C ranges from 0 to 1. Here, the partition of the
+networks into modules was obtained by maximizing the modularity function as defined
+by (48).
+
+2.3.2. Flattened networks
+We also computed the participation coefficients for brain networks obtained by flattening the frequency layers into a single overlapping or aggregated network (28). In an overlapping network, the weight of an edge oij corresponds to the number of times that the nodes i and j are connected across layers:
+
+oij =
+
+a[ij ],
+
+(2)
+
+
+
+In an aggregated network, the existence of an edge indicates that nodes i and j are connected in at least one layer:
+
+aij =
+
+1 if  : a[ij] = 0 , 0 otherwise
+
+(3)
+
+Notice that, by construction, flattened networks do not preserve the original connection density of the single layer networks.
+
+2.4. Multi-layer network analysis
+We adopted a multi-layer network approach to integrate the information from brain networks at different frequency bands, while preserving their original structure. We built for each subject a multiplex network (Fig. 1a,b) where different layers correspond to different frequency bands and each node in one layer is virtually connected to all its counterparts in all the other layers.
+Without loss of generality, if we consider the standard neurophysiological frequency bands, the resulting supra-adjacency matrix A is given by the following intra-layer of adjacency matrices on the main diagonal:
+
+A = {A[], A[], A[], A[], A[]},
+
+(4)
+
+where A[] is adjacency matrix of the frequency layer . By construction, the inter-layer adjacency matrices of multiplexes are intrinsically defined as identity matrices.
+
+5
+
+2.4.1. Multi-participation coefficient
+We considered the multi-layer version of the local participation coefficient M P Ci to measure how evenly a node i is connected to the different layers of the multiplex (28). This way, nodes with high multi-participation coefficients are considered central hubs as they would allow for a better information exchange among different layers. The global multi-participation coefficient is then given by the average of the M P Ci values:
+
+1N
+
+1N M
+
+MPC = n
+
+M P Ci = n
+
+1- M -1
+
+2
+
+N LPi[]
+
+,
+
+(5)
+
+i=1
+
+i=1
+
+
+
+where N LPi[] = ki[]/oi, stands for node-degree layer proportion, which measures the percentage of the total number of links (i.e. in all layers) of node i that are in layer . By construction, if nodes tend to concentrate their connectivity in one layer, the global multiparticipation coefficient tends to 0; on the contrary, if nodes tend to have the same number of connections in every layer, the M P C value tends to 1 (Fig. 1c). Hence, a node with a high M P C has the potential to facilitate communication across layers. The Matlab code for the computation of the M P C is freely available at https://github.com/devuci/BNT.
+We also used the standard coefficient of variation CVi to measure the dispersion of the degree of a node i across layers. A global coefficient of variation CV is then obtained by averaging the CVi values across all the nodes (Supplementary Text).
+
+2.5. Statistical analysis
+We first analyzed network features on global topological scales in order to detect statistical differences between AD and HC subjects at the whole system level. Only for those conditions (e.g., frequency bands) that resulted significantly different on the global scale, we also assessed possible group-differences on the local topological scale of single nodes. This hierarchical approach allowed us to associate brain network differences on multiple topological scales (49). For global network features, we used a non-parametric permutation t-test to assess statistical differences between groups, with a significance level of 0.05. For local network features, we applied a correction for multiple comparisons by computing the rough false discovery rate (FDR) (50, 51). In both cases, surrogate data were generated by randomly exchanging the group labels 10 000 times.
+To test the ability of the significant brain network properties to predict the cognitive/memory impairment of AD patients, we used the non-parametric Spearman's correlation coefficient R. We set a significance level of 0.05 for the correlation of global network features, with a FDR correction in the case of multiple comparisons (local features).
+
+2.6. Classification
+We used a classification approach to evaluate the discriminating power of the local brain network properties which resulted significantly different in the AD and HC group. Because we did not know in advance which were the most discriminating features, we tested different combinations. In particular, for each local network property, we first ranked the respective ROIs according to the p-values returned by the between-group statistical analysis (see previous section). For each subject s, we then tested different
+
+6
+
+feature vectors obtained by concatenating, one-by-one, the values of the network features extracted from the ranked ROIs. The generic feature vector cs reads:
+
+cs = [g1, ..., gk]
+
+(6)
+
+where gk is a generic local network feature and k is a rank that ranges from 1 (the most significant ROI) to the total number of significant ROIs. When different network properties were considered (e.g., P C and M P C), we concatenated the respective cs feature vectors allowing for all the possible combinations.
+To quantify the separation between the feature vectors of AD and HC subjects, we used a Mahalanobis distance classifier. We applied a repeated 5-fold cross-validation procedure where we randomly split the entire dataset into a training set (80%) and a testing test (20%). This procedure was eventually iterated 10 000 times in order to obtain more accurate classification rates. To assess the classification performance we computed the sensitivity (Sens), specificity (Spec) and accuracy (Acc), defined respectively as the percentage of AD subjects correctly classified as AD, the percentage of HC subjects classified as HC and the total percentage of subjects (AD and HC) properly classified. We also computed the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and its area under the curve (AU C) (52).
+
+3. Results
+Power analysis of source-reconstructed MEG signals confirmed the characteristic changes in the oscillatory activity of AD subjects compared to HC subjects (Fig. 2a) (53�56). Significant alpha power decreases were more evident in the parietal and occipital regions (Z < -2.58), while significant delta power increases (Z > 2.58) were more localized in the frontal regions of the cortex (Fig. 2b).
+3.1. Reduced gamma inter-modular connectivity As expected the value of the connection density threshold had an impact on the
+network differences between groups. For the sake of simplicity, we selected the first threshold for which we could observe a significant group difference for both single- and multi-layer analysis. The obtained results determined the choice of a representative threshold, common to all the brain networks, corresponding to an average node degree k = 12 (Fig. S1).
+We first evaluated the results from the single-layer analysis. By inspecting the global participation coefficient P C, we reported in the gamma band a significant decrease of inter-modular connectivity in AD as compared to HC (Z = -2.50, p = 0.017; Fig. 3a inset). This behavior was locally identified in association ROIs including temporal and parietal areas (p < 0.05, FDR corrected; Fig. 3a; Tab. 2). No other significant differences were reported in other frequency bands or in flattened brain networks (Fig. S1).
+3.2. Disrupted inter-frequency hub centrality Then we assessed the results from the multi-layer analysis. Both AD and HC subjects
+exhibited high global multi-participation coefficients (M P C > 0.9), suggesting a general propensity of brain regions to promote interactions across frequency bands. However,
+7
+
+such tendency was significantly lower in AD than HC subjects (Z = -2.24, p = 0.028; Fig. 3b inset). This loss of inter-frequency centrality was prevalent in association ROIs including temporal, parietal and cingulate areas, and with a minor extent in motor areas (p < 0.05, FDR corrected; Fig. 3b; Tab. 2).
+Among those regions, the right cingulate cortex was classified as the main interfrequency hub as revealed by the spatial distribution of the top 25% M P C values in the HC group (Fig. 4a). In HC subjects the connectivity of this region across bands, as measured by the node degree layer proportion N LP , was relatively stable (KruskalWallis test, 2 = 10.79, p = 0.095), while it was significantly altered in AD subjects (Kruskall-Wallis test, 2 = 14.98, p = 0.020). In particular, the AD group exhibited a remarkably reduced alpha2 connectivity and increased theta connectivity (Fig. 4b). Similar results were also reported for the left cingulate cortex (AD: 2 = 11.89, p = 0.064; HC: 2 = 6.98, p = 0.323), although it was not significant in terms of M P C differences (Fig. 3b; Tab. 2).
+3.3. Diagnostic power of brain network features
+We adopted a classification approach to evaluate the power of the most significant local network properties in determining the state (i.e., healthy or diseased) of each individual subject. The best results were achieved neither when we considered single-layer features (i.e., P Ci[]) nor when we considered multi-layer features (M P Ci) (respectively, first column and row of panels in Fig. 5a). Instead, a combination of the two most significant features gave the best classification in terms of accuracy (Acc = 78.39%) and area under the curve (AU C = 0.8625) (Fig. 5a,b). While the corresponding specificity was not particularly high (Spec = 65.68%), the sensitivity was remarkably elevated (Sens = 91.11%).
+3.4. Relationship with cognitive and memory impairment
+We finally evaluated the ability of the significant brain network changes to predict the cognitive and memory performance of AD subjects. We first considered the results from single-layer analysis. We found a significant positive correlation between the global participation coefficient P C in the gamma band and the MMSE score (R = 0.4909, p = 0.0127; Fig. 6a). Then we considered the results from multi-layer analysis. We reported a higher significant positive correlation between the global multi-participation coefficient M P C and the TR score (R = 0.5547, p = 0.0074; Fig. 6c). These relationships were locally identified in specific ROIs including parietal, temporal and cingulate areas of the default mode network (DMN) (57) (p < 0.05, FDR corrected; Fig. 6b,d; Tab. 3).
+4. Discussion
+Graph analysis of brain networks have been largely exploited in the study of AD with the aim to extract new predictive diagnostics of disease progression. Typical approaches in functional neuroimaging, characterized by oscillatory dynamics, analyze brain networks separately at different frequencies thus neglecting the available multivariate spectral information. Here, we adopted a method to formally take into account the topological information of multi-frequency connectomes obtained from source-reconstructed MEG signals in a group of AD and healthy subjects during EC resting states.
+8
+
+Main results showed that, while flattening networks of different frequency bands attenuates differences between AD and HC populations, keeping the multiplex nature of MEG connectomes allow to capture higher-order discriminant information. AD subjects exhibited an aberrant multiplex brain network structure that significantly reduced the global propensity to facilitate information propagation across frequency bands as compared to HC subjects (Fig. 3b, inset). This could be in part explained by the higher variability of the individual node degrees across bands (Fig. S2).
+Such loss of inter-frequency centrality was mostly localized in association areas as well as in the cingulate cortex (Fig. 3b; Tab. 2), which resulted the most important hub promoting interaction across bands in the HC group (Fig. 4a). Because all these areas are typically affected by AD atrophy (4) we hypothesize that the anatomical withering might have impacted the neural oscillatory mechanisms supporting large-scale brain functional integration. Notably, the significant alteration of the connectivity across bands observed in the cingulate cortex could be ascribed to typical M/EEG connectivity changes observed in AD, such as reduced alpha coherence (54�56, 58) (Fig. 4b). We also found a significant decrease in the primary motor cortex (right precentral gyrus). While previous studies have identified this specific region as a connector hub in human brain networks (2), its role in AD still needs to be clarified in terms of node centrality's changes with respect to healthy conditions.
+While flattening network layers represents in general an oversimplification, analyzing single layers can still be a valid approach that is worth of investigation. Because the M P C is a pure multiplex quantity, we considered the conceptually akin version for single-layer networks, the standard participation coefficient P C, which evaluates the tendency of nodes to integrate information from different modules, rather than from different layers (28, 47). AD patients exhibited lower inter-modular connectivity in the gamma band with respect to HC subjects (Fig. 3a; Tab. 2) that was localized in association areas including frontal, temporal, and parietal cortices (Fig. 3a; Tab. 2). Damages to these regions can lead to deficits in attention, recognition and planning (59). Our results support the hypothesis that AD could include a disconnection syndrome (60�62). Furthermore, they are in line with previous findings showing P C decrements in AD, although those declines were more evident in lower frequency bands and therefore ascribed to possible long-range low-frequency connectivity alteration (2, 15).
+Put together, our findings indicated that AD alters the global brain network organization through connection disruption in several association regions, which play important roles in sensory processing by integrating information from other cortical regions through high-frequency channels (63�67). Notably, we showed that the global loss of inter-modular interactions in the gamma band is paralleled by a diffused decrease of inter-frequency centrality. Future studies, involving recordings of limbic structures and/or stimulation-based techniques, should elucidate whether these two distinct reorganizational processes are truly independent or linked through possible cross-frequency mechanisms which are known to be essential for normal memory formation (68�70).
+As a confirmation of the complementary information carried out by the multi-layer approach, we reported an increased classification accuracy when combining the local P C and M P C features. The observed diagnostic power is in line with previous accuracy values obtained with standard graph theoretic approaches (around 80%) but exhibits slightly higher sensitivity (> 90%), which is often desired to avoid false negatives (71�75). Other approaches should determine if and to what extent the use of more sophisticated
+9
+
+machine learning algorithms, or the inclusion of basic connectivity features (76�78) and different imaging modalities (79), can lead to higher classification performance and better diagnosis (2).
+Previous works have documented relationships between brain network properties and neuropsychological measurements in AD, suggesting a potential impact for monitoring disease progression and for the development of new therapies (7, 8, 10, 72, 80, 81). This is especially true for the standard P C which has exhibited stronger correlations and larger between-group differences (2). In line with this prediction, we also reported significant correlations between the MMSE cognitive scores and the P C values of the AD patients in the gamma band (Fig. 6a). An even stronger correlation was found, however, for the global M P C values and the TR scores (Fig. 6b, Tab. 3). Recent studies suggest that TR scores could be more specific for AD (82, 83) as compared to MMSE scores which could be biased by differences in years of education, lack of sensitivity to progressive changes occurring with AD, as well as fail in detecting impairment caused by focal lesions (84). Locally, the regions whose M P C correlated with TR were part of the default-mode network (DMN) (Tab. 3), which is heavily involved in memory formation and retrieval (57, 85). According to recent hypothesis, these areas are directly affected by atrophy and metabolism disruption, as well as amyloid- deposition (86, 87). Put together, our results suggest that AD symptoms related to episodic memory losses could be determined by the lower capacity of strategic DMN association areas to let information flow across different frequency channels.
+Methodological considerations We estimated brain networks by means of spectral coherence, a connectivity measure
+widely used in the electrophysiological literature because of its simplicity and relatively intuitive interpretation (88). While this measure is known to suffer from possible volume conduction effects, recent evidence showed that source reconstruction techniques, like the one we adopted here, could at least mitigate this bias (89) and generate connectivity patterns consistent within and between subjects (90). In a separate analysis, we used the imaginary coherence as a candidate alternative to eliminate volume conduction effects (91). We demonstrated that while no significant between-group differences could be obtained in terms of M P C (data not shown here), the spatial distribution of the M P C values was very similar to that observed in the brain networks obtained with the spectral coherence, especially for the internal regions along the longitudinal fissure (Fig. S3).
+Differently from other multiplex network quantities, such as those based on paths and walks (92), the M P C has the advantage to not depend on the weights of the inter-layer links which, in general, are difficult to estimate or to assign from empirically obtained biological data. This is especially true in network neuroscience where, so far, the strength of the inter-layer connections is parametric and subject to arbitrariness (27) or estimated through measures of cross-frequency coupling (21) whose biological interpretation remains still to be completely elucidated (20).
+5. Conclusions
+We proposed a multi-layer network approach to characterize multi-frequency brain networks in Alzheimer's disease. The obtained results gave new insights into the neural deterioration of Alzheimer's disease by revealing an abnormal loss of inter-frequency
+10
+
+centrality in memory-related association areas as well as in the cingulate cortex. Longitudinal studies, including prodromal mild cognitive impairment subjects, will need to assess the predictive value of this new information as a potential non-invasive biomarker for neurodegenerative diseases.

+TUBE ALGEBRA OF GROUP-TYPE SUBFACTORS
+Dietmar Bisch, Paramita Das, Shamindra Kumar Ghosh and Narayan Rakshit
+Abstract. We describe the tube algebra and its representations in the cases of diagonal and BischHaagerup subfactors possibly with a scalar 3-cocycle obstruction. We show that these categories are additively equivalent to the direct product over conjugacy classes of representation category of a centralizer subgroup (corresponding to the conjugacy class) twisted by a scalar 2-cocycle obtained from the 3-cocycle obstruction.
+1. Introduction
+Annular representations of planar algebras were introduced by Vaughan Jones in [Jon] to construct subfactors with principal graphs E6 and E8. In the same paper, he explicitly worked out the Temperley-Lieb example. These calculations helped in construction of new examples such as [Pet]. Recently, annular representations of subfactors and semisimple rigid C-tensor categories have become a very interesting area of research. The annular representation category turns out to be a nice braided tensor category - not necessarily semisimple - which is equivalent to the center of the original bimodule / C-tensor category in the case of finite depth / fusion categories (see [DGG2], [DGG3], [GJ]). For general depth, this category becomes equivalent to the center of a certain induced category (which is basically an extension where infinite direct sums are allowed) - see [NY], [PV]. There is also an analytic aspect of the annular representation category. Analytic properties, such as, amenabilty, Haagerup property, property (T) of the subfactor / C-tensor category can be reinterpreted in terms of annular representations.
+In this paper, we deal with two group-type subfactors - the so-called diagonal and the BischHaagerup ones - possibly with 3-cocyle obstruction. The approximation properties of these two examples are well-known and depend on the associated group (see [Pop1], [Pop2] for diagonal and [BH] for Bisch-Haagerup). We determine the annular representation category. For this, we borrow techniques from [GJ], namely, we fix a `full' weight set in the object space and find the annular category over the weight set. It was shown in [GJ] that the annular representation categories over any two full weight sets are equivalent. Moreover, annular representations (in the sense of Vaughan Jones) of a subfactor N  M are the same as the annular representations of the N -N -bimodule category CNN generated by N L2(M )N .
+For the diagonal subfactor, CNN is a pointed category, that is, the category of group graded vector spaces with a possibly nontrivial associator; the group is the one generated by the automorphisms used to build the diagonal subfactor and the associator is given by the 3-cocycle obstruction. When the cocycle is trivial, the annular representations were discussed in [GJ]. We consider the annular algebra over the irreducible bimodules, that is, Ocneanu's tube algebra. We show that the tube algebra is a direct sum over conjugacy classes of -algebras consisting of a matrix algebra tensored with the group algebra of the centralizer subgroup twisted by a 2-cocycle. We give the explicit dependence of the 2-cocycle on the 3-cocycle obstruction. As a result, the annular representation decomposes as (possibly infinite) direct sum of projective representations of the centralizer subgroups corresponding to the conjugacy classes.
+Key words and phrases. Planar algebras, subfactors, group-type subfactors, fusion algebras, affine representations. 1
+
+In the Bisch-Haagerup case, we consider the intermediate subfactor N  Q  M where N = QH
+
+and M = Q  K with H, K being finite groups acting outerly on the II1 factor Q. The category of Q-Q-bimodules CQQ generated by QL2(Q)  L2(Q)Q and QL2(M )Q, is again a pointed category
+N
+equivalent to the category of G-graded vector spaces where G is the group generated by H and K
+
+in Out(Q) with the associator given by the 3-cocycle obstruction. This category has special algebra
+
+objects, namely, A = QL2(Qh)Q and B = QL2(Qk)Q. Now, the 2-category of bimodules
+
+hH
+
+kK
+
+over N and M can be made equivalent to the 2-category of bimodules in CQQ over A and B. This
+
+was a method suggested to us by Scott Morrison. However, we obtain the annular representations
+
+straight from the actual bifinite N -N -bimodules using techniques in [GJ]. CNN unfortunately is
+
+not pointed anymore. The set of isomorphism classes of irreducibles turns out to be complicated.
+
+So, we consider a different weight set, namely N L2(Qg)N for g  G and obtain the annular algebra over it. As a -algebra, it turns out to be same as before, namely direct sum over conjugacy
+
+classes of matrix algebras tensored with the group algebra of the centralizer subgroup twisted by a
+
+2-cocycle. Thereby, the representations are also graded by the conjugacy classes and in each grade
+
+the representations are the same as that of the corresponding centralizer subgroup twisted by the
+
+2-cocyle.

+
+2. Some basics on group cocycles
+
+Let G be a group with identity element e and   Z3(G, S1) be a 3-cocycle of G, that is,  satisfies the following:
+(2.1) (g1, g2, g3)(g1, g2g3, g4)(g2, g3, g4) = (g1g2, g3, g4)(g1, g2, g3g4) for all g1, g2, g3, g4  G
+We will use Equation 2.1 at various instances in the article by denoting the particular elements of G which will correspond to g1, g2, g3, g4 simply by 1, 2, 3, 4 respectively. Up to 3-coboundary equivalence, we may consider  to be a normalized cocycle, i.e., (g1, g2, g3) = 1 whenever either g1, g2 or g3 is e; namely, if (g1, g2) = (g1, e, e)(e, e, g2) for all g1, g1  G, then () is normalized.
+For a  G, let Ga denote the centralizer subgroup of a. The following result may be well-known to specialists but we include the statement for the sake of completeness.
+Lemma 2.1. Ga � Ga  (g, h) -a (a, g, h)(g, a, h)(g, h, a) is a 2-cocycle of Ga.
+
+Proof. Note that a(h2, h3)a(h1h2, h3)a(h1, h2h3)a(h1, h2) contain twelve terms involving . The product of the four -terms with a in the first place is

+h2,
+
+h3a)(h1,
+
+h2,
+

+

+

+
+Now, since h1, h2, h3 commute with a, all terms in the grand product cancel amongst each other.
+
+Instead of a, if we take xax-1 for any x  G, then it is natural to ask whether xax-1  (Adx � Adx) : Ga � Ga  S1 is coboundarily equivalent to a. The answer is yes; however, we will prove not just this, but a slightly general formula which will be useful later.
+
+Proposition 2.2. For all a, x, y  G, there exists a,x,y : Ga  S1 such that (xax-1, xgy-1, yhz-1)(xgy-1, yay-1, yhz-1)(xgy-1, yhz-1, zaz-1)
+
+= a,x,y(g)a,y,z (h)a,x,z(gh) a(g, h)
+for all g, h  Ga. Thus, a,x,x is a scalar 1-cochain of Ga which implements the coboundary equivalence between xax-1  (Adx � Adx) and a.
+
+Proof. We write out the three terms in the L.H.S. of the equation in the statement one by one
+
+and expand them using Equation 2.1. In the successive steps, we just repeat the process, each
+
+time expanding the last term coming from the previous step. In the final step, some of the terms
+
+are decorated with numbers and strike-throughs, or underlines and alphabets, the explanation for
+
+which is given below. These are just elementary cocycle calculations which has been exhibited,

+Thus each -term has been expressed as a product of 13 -terms. After combining these 39 terms
+
+and noting that

+(i) 8 pairs of terms cancel since g, h  Ga (the cancellations have been marked with numbers for the reader's convenience),
+
+(ii) the last (boxed) terms on the R.H.S of the three expressions above can be combined to yield
+
+a(g, h), we are left with the following 20 -terms which have been grouped under A,B, C,D, E, F for reasons
+
+that will become apparent as we go along (namely, contribution towards defining the function  in
+
+the statement of the Proposition.): A terms: = (x, ax-1, xgy-1)(x, ax-1, xghz-1) B terms: (a, x-1, xgy-1)(a, y-1, yhz-1)(a, x-1, xghz-1) C terms: (a, g, y-1)(a, h, z-1)(a, gh, z-1) D terms: (g, a, y-1)(h, a, z-1)(gh, a, z-1) E terms: (g, y-1, yay-1)(h, z-1, zaz-1)(gh, z-1, zaz-1) F terms: (x, gy-1, yay-1)(x, ghz-1, zaz-1)
+
+The remaining 4 terms are:
+
+(2.2)
+
+(x-1, xgy-1, yhz-1)(y-1, yay-1, yhz-1)(x, gy-1, yhz-1)(y-1, yhz-1, zaz-1)
+
+The second and fourth terms in expression 2.2 are again broken up using Equation 2.1 as follows:
+
+(y-1, yay-1, yhz-1) = (y-1, y, ay-1)(y, ay-1, yhz-1)(y-1, y, ahz-1 ) 9
+
+A
+
+(y-1, yhz-1, zaz-1) = (y-1, y, hz-1)(y, hz-1, zaz-1)(y-1, y, haz-1 ) 9
+
+G
+
+F
+
+and the first and the third terms in 2.2 taken together, is:
+
+(x-1, xgy-1, yhz-1)(x, gy-1, yhz-1) = (x-1, x, gy-1)(x-1, x, ghz-1)
+
+G
+
+G
+
+We now expand each of the terms in E, using Equation 2.1 again:
+
+(g, y-1, yay-1) (h, z-1, zaz-1) (gh, z-1, zaz-1)
+
+= (gy-1, y, ay-1) (g, y-1, y)
+
+(y-1, y, ay-1)
+
+(hz-1, z, az-1) (h, z-1, z)
+(ghz-1, z, az-1) (gh, z-1, z) Call the terms in the first column as
+
+E1
+
+an((dzz--th11,,ezzt,,eaarzzm--s11  ))in1100the second
+
+column as
+
+E2.
+
+The
+
+new A
+
+and F terms that popped up from breaking down 2.2, and the E1 and E2 terms are added to the
+
+4
+
+existing list: A terms: = (x, ax-1, xgy-1)(y, ay-1, yhz-1)(x, ax-1, xghz-1) B terms: (a, x-1, xgy-1)(a, y-1, yhz-1)(a, x-1, xghz-1) C terms: (a, g, y-1)(a, h, z-1)(a, gh, z-1) D terms: (g, a, y-1)(h, a, z-1)(gh, a, z-1) E1 terms: (gy-1, y, ay-1)(hz-1, z, az-1)(ghz-1, z, az-1) E2 terms: (g, y-1, y)(h, z-1, z)(gh, z-1, z) F terms: (x, gy-1, yay-1)(y, hz-1, zaz-1)(x, ghz-1, zaz-1) G terms: (x-1, x, gy-1)(y-1, y, hz-1)(x-1, x, ghz-1)
+
+Thus we define a,x,y(g) = (x, ax-1, xgy-1)(a, x-1, xgy-1)(a, g, y-1)(g, a, y-1) (gy-1, y, ay-1)(g, y-1, y)(x, gy-1, yay-1)(x-1, x, gy-1). This fits the bill.
+
+3. Diagonal Subfactors
+
+In this section, we will describe the affine module category of the planar algebra of a diagonal
+subfactor associated associated to a `G-kernel' where G is a finitely generated discrete group. Recall that G-kernel is simply an injective homomorphism  : G  Out(N ) where N is a II1 factor. If  : G  Aut(N ) is a lift of  (that is, (g) = g Inn(N ) for all g  G) and I is a set of generators of G, then the associated diagonal subfactor is given by
+
+N  x  diag(i(x))iI  MI (N ) =: M.
+Further for g1, g2  G, we may choose u(g1, g2)  U (N ) such that g1 g2 = Adu(g1,g2)g1g2 for all g1, g2  G. Associativity of multiplication in G gives us a 3-cocycle  : G�3  S1 such that
+
+(3.1)
+
+u(g1, g2) u(g1g2, g3) = (g1, g2, g3) g1(u(g2, g3)) u(g1, g2g3)
+
+for g1, g2, g3  G. One may easily check that the coboundary class of the 3-cocyle  in H3(G, S1) does not depend on the choice of the lift  and the unitaries u(�, �); this class is referred as the
+
+obstruction of the G-kernel . It is well-known (see [Pop1]) that the standard invariant of the above subfactor N  M depends only on the group G, its generators and the 3-cocycle obstruction.
+
+We will find the tube algebra of the category CNN of N -N bifinite bimodules coming from this
+
+subfactor and then find the tube representations. Note that this will suffice since, by [GJ], the rep-
+
+resentation category of the tube algebra of CNN is (tensor) equivalent to the category of annular rep-
+
+resentations with respect to any full weight set in ob(CNN ) (in particular,
+
+N L2(M )N
+
+k
+N :kN
+
+which gives the affine modules of Jones). In fact, if   1, the affine modules were obtained in
+
+[GJ].
+
+All
+
+simple
+
+objects
+
+in
+
+CN,N
+
+are
+
+invertible.
+
+This
+
+is
+
+clear
+
+because
+
+L2(M )
+
+=
+N -N
+
+L2(Ni ).
+iI
+
+Here
+
+the
+
+notation N L2(N)N (for   Aut(N )) denotes the bimodule obtained from the Hilbert space L2(N )
+
+with left N -action being the usual left multiplication whereas the right one is twisted by . This
+
+bimodule depends only on the class defined by  in Out(N ) up to isomorphism, and the tensor
+
+ and the contragradient of such bimodules correspond to multiplication and inverse in Out(N ).
+
+N
+
+Since idN is in the set {i : i  I}, we get all such index one bimodules corresponding to any g  G,
+
+appearing as sub-bimodules of
+
+N L2(M )N
+
+k
+N
+
+as we vary k.
+
+Moreover,
+
+up to isomorphism these
+
+are the only irreducible bimodules of CNN . Thus, the fusion algebra of CNN is just given by G. It
+
+is then easy to verify that CNN is tensor equivalent to the category Vec(G, ) of G-graded vector
+
+spaces with associativity constraint given by the 3-cocycle obstruction . So, our job boils down to
+
+5
+
+finding out the tube representations of Vec(G, ). However, we will work with bimodules in CNN instead, as the framework will be useful in the next section.
+Since the standard invariant (and thereby the category CNN ) is independent of the lift , without loss of generality we assume e = idN . Further, we may set u(g1, e) = 1N = u(e, g2) for all g1, g2  G. These assumptions make the 3-cocycle  : G�3  S1 normalized.
+For g  G, let Xg :=N L2(Ng )N . The morphism space in CNN from object U to object V , will be denoted by CNN (U, V ). The tube morphism from Xg1 to Xg2 is then given by Tg1,g2 := Tgs1,g2
+sG
+where Tgs1,g2 = CNN (Xg1 Xs, Xs Xg2). Clearly, Tg1,g2 = {0} if and only if g1 and g2 are conjugates of each other. Further, if g1 = sg2s-1, then Tgs1,g2 is one-dimensional; we will fix a distinguished element in this space, namely, a(g1, s, g2) defined by
+
+Xg1  Xs  [1]g1  [1]s a(g-1,s,g2) [u(g1, s)u(s, g2)]s  [1]g2  Xs  Xg2.
+
+N
+
+N
+
+N
+
+N
+
+It is an easy exercise to check that the above map is indeed an N -N -linear unitary.
+
+Before we multiply two nonzero tube morphisms a(g1, s, g2) and a(g2, t, g3), we need to know the
+
+one dimensional spaces CNN (XsXt, Xst) = C [1]s  [1]t -s,t [u(s, t)]st and CNN (Xst, XsXt) =
+
+N
+
+N
+
+N
+
+C [1]st -s,t [u(s, t)]s  [1]t} . Following the multiplication defined in [GJ, Section 3], we have
+N
+
+a(g2,
+
+t,
+
+g3)
+
+�
+
+a(g1,
+
+s,
+
+g2)
+
+=
+
+s,t
+
+
+N
+
+idXg3
+
+
+
+idXs
+
+
+N
+
+a(g2,
+
+t,
+
+g3)
+
+
+
+a(g1,
+
+s,
+
+g2)
+
+
+N
+
+idXt
+
+
+
+idXg1
+
+
+N
+
+s,t.
+
+Right from the definitions, one can easily see that a(g2, t, g3) � a(g1, s, g2) sends [1]g1  [1]st to
+N
+
+[g1(u(s, t))
+
+u(g1, s)
+
+u(s, g2)
+
+s (u(g2, t)u(t, g3))
+
+u(s,
+
+t)]st
+
+
+N
+
+[1]g3
+
+Now,
+
+g1(u(s, t)) u(g1, s) u(s, g2) s (u(g2, t)u(t, g3)) u(s, t) = (g1, s, t) u(g1, st) u( g1s , t) u(s, g2) s(u(g2, t)) s(u(t, g3)) u(s, t)
+=sg2
+(using Equation 3.1 on the first two terms) = (g1, s, t) u(g1, st) (s, g2, t) u(s, g2t ) s(u(t, g3)) u(s, t)
+=tg3
+(using Equation 3.1 on the third, fourth and fifth terms) = (g1, s, t) u(g1, st) (s, g2, t) (s, t, g3) u(st, g3)
+(using Equation 3.1 on the last three terms) = [(g1, s, t) (s, g2, t) (s, t, g3)] u(g1, st) u(st, g3)
+
+Thus, multiplication is given by
+
+a(g2, t, g3) � a(g1, s, g2) = [(g1, s, t) (s, g2, t) (s, t, g3)] a(g1, st, g3).
+
+Next we will obtain the -structure on the tube algebra which we denote by # following the
+
+notation in [GJ]. For this, we need a standard solution to the conjugate equations for the pair
+
+(Xs, Xs-1 ).
+
+We
+
+set Rs
+
+:=
+
+s-1,s
+
+:
+
+Xe
+
+
+
+Xs-1  Xs
+N
+
+and
+
+Rs
+
+:=
+
+(s, s-1, s)s,s-1
+
+: Xe  Xs Xs-1 .
+N
+
+It is completely routine to check that (Rs, Rs) satisfies the conjugate equation and is standard. Now
+
+6
+
+by [GJ],
+
+(a(g1, s, g2))# =
+
+idXs-1
+
+
+N
+
+idXg1
+
+ (Rs)
+N
+

+
+
+
+Rs
+
+
+N
+
+idXg2
+
+
+N
+
+idXs-1
+
+.
+
+The map (a(g1, s, g2)) sends [1]s  [1]g2 to [u(s, g2)u(g1, s)]g1  [1]s. Using all the three maps
+
+N
+
+N
+
+(a(g1, s, g2)), Rs and Rs, we can express the image of [1]g2  [1]s-1 under (a(g1, s, g2))# as
+
+N
+
+(s, s-1, s) u(s-1, s) s-1 (u(s, g2)u(g1, s)) s-1(g1 (u(s, s-1)))
+
+ [1]g1 .
+
+=(s-1 ,s,s-1 )
+
+N s-1
+
+We will simplify the first tensor component in the following way:
+
+(s-1, s, s-1) u(s-1, s) s-1 (u(s, g2)) s-1 u(g1, s)g1 (u(s, s-1)) = (s-1, s, s-1) (s-1, s, g2) u(s-1, sg2) (g1, s, s-1) s-1(u( g1s , s-1))
+=sg2
+
+(using Equation 3.1 on the second and third, and fourth and fifth terms separately)
+
+= (s-1, s, s-1) (s-1, s, g2) (g1, s, s-1) (s-1, sg2, s-1) u(g2, s-1) u(s-1, g1)
+
+(using Equation 3.1 on the third and fifth terms)
+
+= (s-1, s, s-1) (g1, s, s-1) (s, g2, s-1) (s-1, s, g2s-1 ) u(g2, s-1) u(s-1, g1)
+=s-1g1
+
+(using Equation 2.1 on the second and fourth terms)
+
+= (g1, s, s-1) (s, g2, s-1) (s, s-1, g1) u(g2, s-1) u(s-1, g1)
+
+(using Equation 2.1 on the first and fourth terms)
+
+Hence, # is given by the formula: (a(g1, s, g2))# = (g1, s, s-1) (s, g2, s-1) (s, s-1, g1) a(g2, s-1, g1).
+
+The canonical (faithful) trace  on the tube algebra (as defined in [GJ]) is given by (a(g1, s, g2)) = g1=g2s=e. Thus, the set {a(g1, s, g2) : g1, g2, s  G satisfying g1s = sg2} becomes an orthonormal basis with respect to the inner product arising from  and #.
+To have a better understanding of the -algebra structure of the tube algebra, we will now set up some notations. Let C denote the set of conjugacy classes of G. For each C  C , we pick a representative gC  C and for each g  C, we fix wg  G such that g = wg gC wg-1 and wgC = e. Also for C  C , we will denote the centralizer subgroup of gC by GC := {s  G : gC = s gC s-1}, and C will denote the 2-cocycle on GC given by C (s, t) := gC (t-1, s-1) (recall the definition of gC in Lemma 2.1).
+With the above notation, we give an alternate description of -algebra structure of the tube algebra in the following proposition which will be handy in classifying the representations.
+
+Theorem 3.1.
+
+(i) The tube algebra T
+
+= ((Tg1,g2 ))fin. supp.
+
+is isomorphic
+
+to
+C C
+
+MC  [CGC ]C
+
+as
+
+a -algebra where [CGC]C is the 2-cocycle twisted group algebra and MC denotes the -algebra of
+
+finitely supported matrices whose rows and columns are indexed by elements of C.
+
+(ii) Every Hilbert space representation  : T  L(V ) decomposes over C  C uniquely (up to
+
+isomorphism) as an orthogonal direct sum of submodules generated by the range of the projection (a(gC , e, gC )) (which is the gC th-space of V ). (We will call a representation of T `supported on C  C ' if it is generated by its vectors in the gCth-space.) The category of C-supported representations of T is additively equivalent to representation category of [CGC ]C .
+
+7
+
+Proof. (i) We will send the orthonormal basis of T (discussed above) via a map  to a canonical basis of CC MC  [CGC ]C in the follwoing way: for g1, g2  C and s  G such that g1s = sg2 (implying wg-11swg2  GC )
+a(g1, s, g2) - gC ,wg1 ,wg2 (wg-11swg2 ) Eg2,g1  [wg-21s-1wg1 ] where we use the family of functions a,x,y : Ga  S1 a,x,yG appearing in Proposition 2.2.
+To show  preserves multiplication, consider
+(a(g2, t, g3)) (a(g1, t, g2))
+= gC ,wg2 ,wg3 (wg-21twg3 ) Eg3,g2  [wg-31t-1wg2 ] gC ,wg1 ,wg2 (wg-11swg2 ) Eg2,g1  [wg-21s-1wg1 ] = gC,wg1 ,wg2 (wg-11swg2 ) gC,wg2 ,wg3 (wg-21twg3 ) C (wg-31t-1wg2 , wg-21s-1wg1 ) Eg3,g1  [wg-31(st)-1wg1 ] = gC ,wg1 ,wg2 (wg-11swg2 ) gC ,wg2 ,wg3 (wg-21twg3 ) gC ,wg1 ,wg3 (wg-11stwg3 ) gC (wg-11swg2 , wg-21twg3 )
+(a(g1, st, g3)) = (g1, s, t)(s, g2, t)(s, t, g3) (a(g1, st, g3)) (using Proposition 2.2) =  (a(g2, t, g3) a(g1, s, g2)) . The map  is  preserving because [(a(g1, s, g2))]
+= gC,wg1 ,wg2 (wg-11swg2 ) C (wg-11swg2 , wg-21s-1wg1 ) Eg1,g2  [wg-11swg2 ] = gC,wg1 ,wg2 (wg-11swg2 ) gC (wg-11swg2 , wg-21s-1wg1 ) gC,wg2 ,wg1 (wg-21s-1wg1 ) (a(g2, s-1, g1)) = gC,wg1 ,wg1 (e) (g1, s, s-1) (s, g2, s-1) (s, s-1, g1) (a(g2, s-1, g1)) (using Proposition 2.2) =  [a(g1, s, g2)]#
+where we use gC,wg1,wg1 (e) = 1 at the very last step which follows directly from the definition of a,x,y in the proof of Proposition 2.2.
+(ii) The decomposition follows easily from the -algebra structure described in part (i). Fix C  C . If  : T  L(W ) is C-supported, then we can define the representation  : [CGC ]C  L(WgC ) defined by (s) =  -1(EgC,gC  [s]) . Conversely, if  : [CGC ]C  L(U ) is a representation, then one can consider the unique extension
+ : T  L(l2(C)  U ) defined by  -1(Eg1,g2  [s]) := g1C Eg1,g2  (s).
+Remark 3.2. Note that the canonical trace  on T corresponds to the direct sum of the canonical traces on MC  [CGC]C . Also, the -algebra Te,e (by definition) is isomorphic to the fusion algebra which is basically the group algebra CG without any nontrivial 2-cocycle twist (since e is the constant function 1 which follows from its definition in Lemma 2.1). Thus, the analytic properties (such as, amenability, Haagerup, property (T)) of the bimodule category corresponding to the subfactor N  M corresponds exactly to that of the group G; this fact was obtained by Sorin Popa long time back in [Pop1] and [Pop2]. However, the analytic properties in the higher weight spaces (as defined in [GJ]) depend on the corresponding centralizer subgroup.
+4. Bisch-Haagerup Subfactors
+In this section, we intend to find the tube algebra of the Bisch-Haagerup subfactor N := QH  Q  K =: M where H and K act outerly on the II1-factor Q. It is well known that the planar
+8
+
+algebra of N  M depends on the group G generated by H and K in Out(Q) and the scalar 3-cocycle obstruction (up to 2-coboundary) (see [BH, BDG]).
+
+We first lay down the strategy to achieve our goal. Instead of computing the tube algebra of CNN directly (unlike the case of diagonal subfactors because the irreducible bimodules of CNN for Bisch-Haagerup subfactors, are not so easy to work with), we will consider the affine annular algebra with respect to a particular full weight set (in the sense of [GJ, Definition 3.4]) in ob(CNN ), and then cut it down by the Irr CNN .
+We need to set up some notations for this. Pick a representative map Out(Q)  G  g  g  Aut(Q) such that g = gInn(Q), and |H : H  Aut(Q), |K : K  Aut(Q) are homomorphisms. Now, if X =N L2(M )M , Y =N L2(Q)Q and Z =Q L2(M )M , then
+
+m
+X X N = Y ( Z Z )( Y Y )( Z Z )���( Z Z )Y.
+
+Q
+
+Q
+
+Q
+
+QQ
+
+Q
+
+We know that ( Y
+
+Y
+
+) =
+Q-Q
+
+hH
+
+QL2(Qh )Q
+
+and
+
+(
+
+Z
+
+Z
+
+)
+
+=
+Q-Q
+
+QL2(Qk )Q.
+kK
+
+So,

+k1 ,k2 ,...K
+
+h1,h2,...H
+
+N L2(Qk1h1k2h2���km )N
+k1,k2,...K h1,h2,...H
+
+Since the subgroups H and K generate G, therefore the set  := Xg := N L2(Qg )N g  G forms
+
+a full since
+
+weight set Xg = Xgh
+
+in for
+
+CNN . all g
+
+It is possible to reduce the indexing  G, h  H. However, we will not do
+
+set G of the weight set that since by reducing
+
+ further, the weight
+
+set, one needs to work with coset representative which makes the calculations more cumbersome.
+
+4.1. Morphism spaces in CNN .
+For the affine annular algebra over G (indexing the above set), we do not need all morphism spaces of CNN . We will instead concentrate on morphisms between elements of  and their tensor products. Before that, we need more notations. Choose a map u : G � G  U (Q) such that g1 g2 = Adu(g1,g2)g1g2 and
+
+(4.1)
+
+u (H � H  K � K  G � {e}  {e} � G) = {1Q}.
+
+Again, associativity of multiplication in G and condition 4.1 will give us a 3-cocycle  satisfying Equation 3.1 and
+
+(4.2)
+
+|H�H�H  1  |K�K�K .
+
+This along with Equation 2.1, implies (g, l, l-1) = (gl, l-1, l) and (l-1, l, g) = (l, l-1, lg) for
+
+all g  G, l  H  K. We will now prove a lemma on scalar cocycles which lets us choose the map
+
+u in such a way that the 3-cocycle  gets simplified making our calculations easy.
+
+Lemma 4.1. Any scalar 3-cocycle  of a group G generated by subgroups H and K, is coboundarily equivalent to  which satisfies the relation 4.2 as well as
+
+(4.3)
+
+(g, l, l-1) = 1 = (l-1, l, g) for all g  G, l  H  K.
+
+Proof. Consider the subsets AH = (H � H�), AK = (K � K�), VH = (H� � H), and VK = (K� � K) of G � G, and the order 2 bijections G � G  (g1, g2)^ (g1, g2)^= (g1g2, g2-1)  G � G and G � G  (g1, g2) (g1, g2)= (g1-1, g1g2)  G � G (where H� = H \ {e} and K� = K \ {e}). Note that AH and AK (resp. VH and VK ) are separately closed under^(resp. ) and have no fixed points. Now, AH  VK = (K \ H) � (H \ K) (resp. AK  VH = (H \ K) � (K \ H)) is mapped into AH \ VK (resp. AK \ VH ) under^and into VK \ AH (resp. VH \ AK ) under. We choose
+9
+
+(i) a representative in each orbit of ^ inside AH  AK such that the representative of the orbit containing (k, h)  AH  VK is chosen as (kh, h-1) and the representative of the one containing (h, k)  AK  VH is chosen as (hk, k-1),
+(ii) a representative in each orbit of  inside VH  VK such that the representative of the orbit containing (k, h)  AH  VK is chosen as (k-1, kh) and the representative of the one containing (h, k)  AK  VH is chosen as (h-1, hk).
+Let A (resp. V ) be the set of representatives in AH  AK (resp. VH  VK ). From our choice, it can be verified that A  V = . Define  : G � G  T by:
+(a) |G�G\(AV ) = 1, (b) (g, l) = (g, l, l-1) = (gl, l-1, l) for (g, l)  A, (c) (l, g) = (l-1, l, g) = (l, l-1, lg) for (l, g)  V . It follows that 2() is normalized since  is also so, and 2() satisfies the relation 4.2 since (H � H  K � K)  (A  V ) =  (where 2 denotes the 2-cochain map). Thus, the 3-cocycle  = 2() �  is normalized and satisfies relation 4.2.
+For relation 4.3, we consider g  G and l  H  K. Without loss of generality, we assume g = e = l. So, (g, l), (gl, l-1) ( resp. (l, g), (l-1, lg) ) is an orbit of ^(resp. ) in AH  AK (resp. VH  VK ), and  takes the value (g, l, l-1) = (gl, l-1, l) (resp. (l-1, l, g) = (l, l-1, lg)) on the representative of the orbit and 1 on the other. This implies
+(g, l, l-1) = (gl, l-1) (g, l) (g, l, l-1) = 1
+since (g, e) = 1 = (l, l-1), and similarly (l-1, l, g) = 1.
+
+By the above lemma, without loss of generality, we may assume  satisfies:
+
+(4.4)
+
+(i) (g1, l, l-1) = 1 = (g1, l, l-1)
+
+(ii) (g1, g2, l)

+for all g1, g2  G, l  H  K (where (ii), (iii) and (iv) are immediate implication of (i) and 2.1). We will need the relation 4.4 only when l  H; however, we gave the general version, in case any
+reader is interested to see the actual 2-category of N  M instead of just CNN .
+
+Proposition 4.2. The morphism space CNN (Xg1, Xg2) is zero unless g1 and g2 give the same H-H double coset, and if they do, the space has a basis given by
+
+
+
+
+
+   
+
+Xg1
+

+
+   
+
+such that
+
+.
+
+h1g1 = g2h2
+
+  
+
+
+
+
+
+Proof. By Frobenius reciprocity, dimC (CNN (Xg1 , Xg2 )) = dimC CNN N L2(N )N , Xg1  Xg2 .
+N
+
+Again Xg1  Xg2 =
+
+N
+
+Q-Q
+
+g1 [Q  H] g2 where the left and right actions of Q on Q  H is twisted
+
+by g1 and g2 respectively. Any element of CNN N L2(N )N , g1 [Q  H] g2 corresponds to an
+
+10
+
+element of Q  H (the image of ^1), say y = yh h. By N -N linearity, we will have g1(n) yh =
+hH
+yh h(g2(n)) for all n  N, h  H, equivalently
+n -g11(yh) = -g11(yh) -g11(h(g2(n))) for all n  N, h  H.
+
+The following is a well-known fact for the fixed-point subfactor N  Q of an outer action of H. For y  Q and   Aut(Q), the following are equivalent:
+
+(i) y = 0 and ny = y(n) for all n  N = QH ,
+
+(ii) y0 :=
+
+y y
+
+ U (Q) and Ady0    {h : h  H}.
+
+By the above fact, y = 0 only when there exists h1, h2  H such that -g11h1g2h2  Inn(Q),
+
+equivalently g1 and g2 generate the same H-H double coset. In particular, yh = 0 unless h belongs to
+
+H y0
+
+ g1Hg2-1.
+
+=
+
+yh yh
+
+.
+
+And This
+
+for h  implies
+
+H  g1Hg2-1, Ady0 h g2
+
+for yh = 0, we have Ad-g11(y0) = g1 g1-1hg2, equivalently,
+
+-g11 h g2 Ady0u(h,g2)
+
+= =
+
+g1-1hg2 where Adu(g1,g1-1hg2).
+
+Hence, yh  C{u(g1, g1-1hg2)u(h, g2)}. Thus, the set
+
+u(g1, h-2 1)u(h-1 1, g2) h-1 1 : h1, h2  H such that h1g1 = g2h2
+
+forms a basis of the vector space V := {y  Q  H : g1(n)y = yg2(n) for all n  N }. To show that the set Bg1,g2 forms a basis for Hg1H = Hg2H, we need the following explicit isomorphism:
+
+V  y - (y) := J yJ  CNN (Xg1 , Xg2 )
+
+where J is the canonical anti-unitary of L2(Q). Set yh1,h2 := u(g1, h-2 1)u(h-1 1, g2) h-1 1 for h1g1 = g2h2. Then,
+
+(yh1,h2)[x]g1 = h1 xu(g1, h-2 1)u(h-1 1, g2) g2 = h1 (x) h1 u(g1, h-2 1)u(h-1 1, g2) g2 .
+
+We simplify h1 u(g1, h-2 1)u(h-1 1, g2) using Equations 3.1, 4.1 and 4.4 to get
+
+(h1, g1, h-2 1)u(h1, g1)u(h1g1, h-2 1)u(h1, g1h-2 1) u(h1, h-1 1g2) = (h1, g1, h-2 1) u(h1, g1)u(g2h2, h-2 1) = (h1, g1, h-2 1) {u(h1, g1)u(g2, h2)} .
+
+g2 Hence, (yh1,h2) is a unit scalar multiple of h1 h2 corresponding to (h1, h2).

+
+Let A denote the affine annular algebra of CNN with respect to G which indexes the weight set . In our set up, the indexing set G is more important rather than the set ; for instance, Xh and Xe are identical in   ob(CNN ) when h  H.
+
+We will recall the definition of A here. For g1, g2  G, we have a vector space Ag1,g2 which is the
+
+quotient of the vector space
+
+CNN Xg1  W , W  Xg2 over the subspace generated by
+
+W ob(CNN )

+In the above expression 4.5, using Lemma 4.8 (ii), we could make the disc in the fourth term pass through the bottom box in the third term to its top. As a result, expression 4.5 turns out to be a scalar multiple of

+
+Observe that the composition of the bottom box of the third term and the top box in the fourth
+
+term (in expression 4.6) is idXg1st if h = e and zero otherwise; this follows from Proposition 4.6. Similarly, Lemma 4.8 (i) allows us to move the disc in the second term up through the bottom box
+
+of the first term, and thereby the expression 4.6 becomes a scalar multiple of

+Again, by Proposition 4.6, the composition of the bottom box of the first term and the top of the second term in expression 4.7 is idXshth3g3 if hh2 = h2 and zero otherwise.
+18
+
+We now consider the case h = e and h2 = h2 (= h2 say). The above discussion implies that in this case, [a(h2, g2, t, h3, g3)  a(h1, g1, s, h2, g2)] is indeed a scalar multiple of a(h1, g1, st, h3, g3). So, we need to gather the 3-cocycle arising at various steps. To obtain step 4.5, Lemma 4.9 will give the following six scalars
+[(s, t, h3)(s, th3, g3)] [(sh2,g2, e)(sh2, g2, t)] [(g1, s, e)(g1, s, t)] .
+Application of Lemma 4.8 (ii) (resp., (i)) while obtaining step 4.6 (resp., 4.7) from step 4.5 (resp., 4.6), yield
+[(h1, g1s, t)(sh2g2,e,e)(h1, g1s, e)] (resp., (s,th3g3,e)(s, h2, g2t)(s,e,h2) ).
+Thus, we obtained the equation
+a(h2, g2, t, h3, g3)  a(h1, g1, s, h2, g2) = [(s, t, h3)(s, th3, g3)(sh2, g2, t)(g1, s, t)(h1, g1s, t)(s, h2, g2t)] a(h1, g1, st, h3, g3).
+We will be done with the proof once we match the scalars. Applying the 3-cocycle relation 2.1 on first and second, third and sixth, fourth and fifth terms separately, we get
+[(st, h3, g3)(s, t, h3g3)(t, h3, g3)] [(s, h2, g2)(s, h2g2, t)(h2, g2, t)] [(h1g1, s, t)(h1, g1, st)(h1, g1, s)]
+
+Notation. We see that [(h1, g1, s)(s, h2, g2) a(h1, g1, s, h2, g2)] is better behaved with respect to multiplication than a(h1, g1, s, h2, g2). So, we set A(h1, g1, s, h2, g2) := [(h1, g1, s)(s, h2, g2) a(h1, g1, s, h2, g2)] and the above proposition translates as: A(h2, g2, t, h3, g3)  A(h1, g1, s, h2, g2) = h2=h2 [(s, t, h3g3)(s, h2g2, t)(h1g1, s, t)] A(h1, g1, st, h3, g3).
+
+Next we will compute the canonical trace  on Ag,g for g  G. For this, we need orthonormal basis of CNN (N L2(N )N , Xs) for s  G with respect to the inner product given by
+
+CNN (N L2(N )N , Xs) � CNN (N L2(N )N , Xs)  (c, d) - d  c  C.
+
+By Proposition 4.2, CNN (N L2(N )N , Xs) is zero unless s  H. Now, Xe = Xh for all h  H. Since

+
+Under the assumption h = e and h1 = h2, in the above expression, the term in between u(g-1, g) and u(g-1, g), becomes 1. This gives the required result.

+A(h1, g1, s, h2, g2) , A(h3, g3, t, h4, g4)  :=  A(h3, g3, t, h4, g4) A(h1, g1, s, h2, g2)
+
+and extended linearly in the first and conjugate-linearly in the second variable. In fact, the basis elements are orthonormal with respect to �, � . Since   # =  (by positivity of  ([GJ])), it
+will be enough to prove (A(h1, g1, s, h2, g2))#  A(h1, g1, s, h2, g2). This is equivalent to proving (a(h1, g1, s, h2, g2))#  a(h2, g2, s-1, h1, g1). This will follow from

+
+In the last expression, we pick y and using the intertwining relation between u and , we push it leftwards all the way to the right side of the term h2(x) and it becomes h2(g2(y)). This matches the first two and the last terms with that of the first tensor component of the expression 4.8. We are left with showing the u-terms in the middle, namely
+
+(4.9)
+
+u(s-1, s) s-1 u(s, h2)u(sh2, g2)h1 u(h-1 1, sh2g2)u(g1, s)g1 u(s, s-1)

+

+
+h2 u(g2, s-1) u(h2, g2s-1)u(s-1h1, g1)u(s-1, h1)
+
+Taking the adjoint of 4.9 and 4.10 separately, we get the same automorphism h2g2 s-1-g11-h11-s-11. Hence, we are done.

+
+In order to describe the representations of A, we need a few more notations. As in Section 3, C will denote the set of conjugacy classes, gC will be a representative of C  C and for g  C, we pick wg such that g = wggC wg-1. Also, C will be the 2-cocycle gC of GC . For C  C , set SC := {(h, g)  H � G : hg  C}.
+Theorem 4.16. (i) The affine annular algebra A = ((Ag1,g2))fin. supp.is isomorphic as a -algebra to MSC  [CGC ]C where MSC denotes the -algebra of finitely supported matrices with rows
+C C
+and columns indexed by elements of SC. (ii) Every Hilbert space representation  : A  L(V ) decomposes uniquely (up to isomorphism) as an orthogonal direct sum of submodules V C := Range  (a(e, gC , e, e, gC )) for C  C . (We will call a representation of A `supported on C  C ' if it is generated by the range of the action of the projection a(e, gC , e, e, gC ).) The category of C-supported representations of C is additively equivalent to representation category of [CGC]C .
+
+Proof. (i) Define the map  : A - MSC  [CGC ]C by
+C C
+
+a(h1, g1, s, h2, g2) - gC,wh1g1 ,wh2g2 E(h2,g2),(h1,g1)  [wh-21g2 s-1 wh1g1 ]
+
+extended linearly where h1g1, h2g2  C. Using the formula for multiplication and # in Propositions 4.12 and 4.15 and the cocyle relation in Proposition 2.1, one can imitate the proof of Proposition
+3.1 to show that the map  serves as the required isomorphism.
+
+(ii) Let  : A  L(V ) be a Hilbert space representation. For C1, C2  C such that C1 = C2, we need to show V C1 and V C2 are orthogonal. Taking inner product of the generating vectors, we get (a(e, gC1 , s1, h1, g)) , (a(e, gC2 , s2, h2, g)) = (a(e, gC2 , s2, h2, g))# � a(e, gC1 , s1, h1, g)) , 
+which is zero unless h1 = h2 but in that case C1 and C2 have to be the same; so, the inner product
+is zero.
+
+For the decomposition, it remains to show that V  V C. Let   Vg. Note that the identity
+
+C C
+
+a(h, g, e, h, g) of Ag,g is a sum of orthogonal projections. So,  = (a(h, g, e, h, g)). For h 
+
+hH
+
+hH
+
+H, we have (a(h, g, e, h, g)) = (a(e, gC , e, h, g) where hg  C  C and  = (a(h, g, e, e, gC )) 
+
+V C.
+
+The proof of equivalence of C-supported representations with representations of [CG]C is exactly the same as the proof of Theorem 3.1.
+
+Remark 4.17. To find the tube algebra T of CNN , we need to first choose a set of representatives in the isomorphism classes of simple objects in CNN . By Propositions 4.2 and 4.4, Xg1 and Xg2 are isomorphic if and only if g1 and g2 are in the same H-H double coset where the isomorphism
+g2 is implemented by h1 h2 for any h1, h2  H satisfying h1g1 = g2h2. Now for g  G, the
+g1 endomorphism space End(Xg) is isomorphic to the group algebra Hg := H  g-1Hg twisted by the scalar 2-cocycle Hg � Hg  (h1, h2)  (gh1g-1, gh2g-1, g) (gh1g-1, g, h2) (g, h1, h2)  S1 via
+g CHg  Hg  h - ghg-1 h  End(Xg).
+g
+
+For g  G, fix a maximal set g of mutually orthogonal minimal projections in End(Xg). Let H\G/H be a set of representatives from all the H-H double cosets in G. Then, it follows
+23
+
+that
+
+{Range(p) : p  g} is a set of representatives in the isomorphism classes of simple
+
+gH \G/H
+
+objects in CNN . Hence, the tube algebra T is isomorphic (as a -algebra) to
+
+g�2,g2 (p2)  Ag1,g2  g�1,g1 (p1) .
+g1,g2H\G/H p1g1 ,p2g2
+
+Remark 4.18. By [GJ, Theorem 4.2], we know that the representation categories of the affine algebra A and tube algebra T are equivalent although as -algebras they are non-isomorphic. There is one
+thing to notice that this representation category (appearing in Theorem 4.16) is also equivalent to
+the category of tube representations of the diagonal subfactor (as in Theorem 3.1) corresponding
+to the automorphisms g, g  H  K of the II1-factor Q. This equivalence can be seen in an alternative way:
+Let AHB be an extremal bifinite bimodule and P be its corresponding subfactor planar algebra (namely the `unimodular bimodule planar algebra', in the sense of [DGG1]). By Theorem 4.2 of
+[GJ], the category of (Jones) affine P -modules is equivalent to the representation category of the
+tube algebra of CAA := the category of bifinite A-A-bimodules generated by AHB. By [DGG2, Remark 2.16], the affine module categories corresponding to P and its dual P are equivalent. On
+the other hand, the dual planar algebra is isomorphic to the subfactor planar algebra associated to
+the contragradient bimodule BHA. Thus the representation category of the tube algebra of CAA is equivalent to that of CBB := the category of bifinite B-B-bimodules generated by AHB.
+Next, consider an intermediate extremal finite index subfactor N  Q  M . Let  denote the bifinite bimodule N L2(M )Q. It is easy to check that the category CNN of bifinite N -N -bimodules generated by  is the same as those which come from the subfactor N  M . Let CQQ denote the smallest C-tensor category of bifinite Q-Q-bimodules coming from the subfactor N  Q as
+well as Q  M . One can verify that CQQ is the same as the category of bifinite Q-Q-bimodules generated by . Hence, from the previous paragraph, the category of tube representations of CNN is equivalent to that of CQQ.
+Coming back to our context of Bisch-Haagerup subfactor N = QH  Q  K as set up in the beginning of this section, it remains to show that CQQ is the C-tensor category generated by the bimodules QL2(Qg )Q for g  H  K; this is an easy computation.

+Far-from-equilibrium energy flow and entanglement entropy
+Eugenio Meg�as1,2,a 1Max-Planck-Institut f�r Physik (Werner-Heisenberg-Institut), F�hringer Ring 6, D-80805, Munich, Germany 2Departamento de F�sica Te�rica, Universidad del Pa�s Vasco UPV/EHU, Apartado 644, 48080 Bilbao, Spain
+Abstract. The time evolution of the energy transport triggered in a strongly coupled system by a temperature gradient is holographically related to the evolution of an asymptotically AdS black brane. We study the far-from-equilibrium properties of such a system by using the AdS/CFT correspondence. In particular, we describe the appearance of a steady state, and study the information flow by computing the time evolution of the holographic entanglement entropy. Some universal properties of the quenching process are presented.
+1 Introduction
+The study of out-of-equilibrium dynamics is a notoriously challenging problem. The hydrodynamic approach has some limitations: it can be applied only for systems close to equilibrium, as it is based on the assumption that the mean free path (time) of particles is much shorter than the characteristic size (time scale) of the system. However, many physical systems are affected by far-from-equilibrium dynamics. Some examples are the the initial stages of the Quark-Gluon plasma thermalization [1], quenches in some condensed matter systems and fluctuations in the fractional Hall effect [2]. These kinds of studies are very difficult with the current techniques, and nowadays the results are limited to simple models. An interesting and tractable class of non-equilibrium configurations are the steady state flows which emerge between two heat baths [3�7]. The energy flow between these two systems is characterized by a time-independent configuration, but it does not correspond to equilibrium.
+AdS/CFT is an excellent tool to study the thermalization process of theories with a Conformal Field Theory (CFT) fixed point in the ultraviolet, as it is then mapped to black hole formation in asymptotically AdS space [8]. A strong motivation to apply the AdS/CFT correspondence to farfrom-equilibrium dynamics is that it might help to establish some universal properties of these systems. In particular, it could give some insight into the universal quenching properties of the systems. Apart from the energy flow, it is very interesting to study the information flow between two systems which are initially isolated. On this respect, some important quantity is the entanglement entropy which measures how the information get exchanged between two systems. Holographically it can be measured as a generalization of the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy formula [9�11]. Another quantity derived from the entanglement entropy is the mutual information, which measures the amount of information that can be obtained from one of the systems by looking at the other system.

+Figure 1. Two isolated systems initially at equilibrium are put in contact at t = 0. A spatially homogeneous non-equilibrium steady state develops at late times, and it carries an energy current JE = T tx s.
+
+In this work we will study, within the AdS/CFT correspondence, the formation and time evolution of the steady state between two asymptotic equilibrium systems at different temperatures. In a second step we will address the time evolution of the entanglement entropy, and study some universal properties of the quenching process.
+
+2 Energy flow in strongly coupled systems
+It was shown in [3] the existence of a homogeneous steady state in a class of (1 + 1)-dim CFTs. A universal formula for the heat flow and the generalization to higher dimensions was derived in [4, 5]. We will study in this section the steady state formation in these systems in any number of dimensions.
+
+2.1 Steady state formation
+
+Let us consider two thermal reservoirs in (d + 1)-dim, each of them initially at equilibrium but at different temperatures, TL and TR. The initial energy density reads
+
+(x, t = 0) = dad
+
+T Ld+1
+
+(-x)
+
++
+
+T
+
+d+1 R
+
+(x)
+
+,
+
+(1)
+
+where ad depends on the number of degrees of freedom in the CFT. After bringing the two systems into thermal contact at t = 0, a spatially homogeneous steady state develops, carrying a heat flow JE which transfers energy from the hottest to the coldest system. Such a physical situation is presented
+
+in Fig. 1. The steady state configuration in the CFT can be described by the Lorentz-boosted stress
+
+tensor
+
+T � = adT d+1 (� + (d + 1)u�u) ,
+
+(2)
+
+where � = diag(-1, 1, � � � , 1) is the CFT metric, and u� = (cosh , sinh , 0, � � � , 0) is the fluid
+
+velocity with  a boost parameter in the x-direction [5]. By using the conversation of energy and
+
+momentum and traceless of the stress tensor in the CFT,
+
+� T � = 0 ,
+
+T�� = 0 ,
+
+(3)
+
+it has been obtained solutions consisting of "shockwaves" emanating from the interface [3�5, 7, 12], of the form
+
+T tt = G(x - cst) + G(x + cst) ,
+
+T tx = G(x - cst) - G(x + cst) ,
+
+(4)
+
+where G(z) is some function which depends on the initial conditions. In this solution the intermediate
+steady state is bounded by two shocks propagating outwards at speed cs. In the rest of this section we will study the shockwaves solutions in AdS/CFT in any number of dimensions. In Sec. 3 we will particularize the system to d = 1, and study the information flow in this case.

+
+2.2 Holographic model
+
+We will present a holographic model to study the system described above at strong coupling . Other out-of-equilibrium stationary configurations in holography can be found in e.g. [13�17] and references therein. Let us consider the Einstein-Hilbert action in (d + 2)-dim given by

+As mentioned above, the energy transport is characterized by a Lorentz-boosted thermal distribution, Eq. (2). Its gravity dual is a boosted black brane with metric [5]

+

+
+It is straightforward to check that Eq. (7) is a solution of the equations of motion
+
+Eq. (6) as long as the black hole horizon zh and the boost parameter  are constant and uniform,
+
+i.e. zh zh(t, x) and  (t, x). While this solution is adequate to study the spatially homogeneous
+
+steady state regime corresponding to t |x|, we expect the existence of more general (t, x)-dependent
+
+solutions which characterize the formation process of the steady state. In the following we will focus
+
+on these solutions.
+
+2.3 Linearized solution
+
+A convenient method to find a solution of Eq. (6) valid at any point of the space-time consists in the linearization of the problem. Let us consider a solution of the form [7]
+
+zh(t, x) = zh(0) + zh(1)(t, x) + � � � , (t, x) = (0) + (1)(t, x) + � � � ,
+
+(8)
+
+which means that all the space-time dependence is treated as a perturbation around the background zh(0) and (0), which we keep constant and uniform. Then the equations of motion reduce to the following two equations
+
+2t zh(1)(t, x) - c2s 2xzh(1)(t, x) = 0 ,
+
+tzh(1)(t, x) - c2s zh(0)x(1)(t, x) = 0 ,
+
+(9)
+
+where c2s = 1/d is the squared speed of sound. The solution of these equations was obtained in [7] under appropriate boundary conditions, in particular
+� Tini(x)  T (t = 0, x) , � T tx(t = 0, x) = 0 for x  (-, +) .
+
+The first boundary condition corresponds to the freedom in the initial profile of the temperature Tini(x). Only when this profile is non-uniform, the system has a nontrivial time evolution. The second boundary condition states that there is no energy flow at t = 0, as the two subsystems are initially isolated.

+
+to the existence of "shockwaves" propagating at speed cs, i.e. it is of the form of Eq. (4) and it fulfills
+
+Eq. (3). 1 We display in Fig. 2 the numerical result of Eqs. (10)-(11). The formation of the steady
+
+state and the propagation of the shockwaves is properly described in the regime of small difference of

+temperatures.
+
+2.4 Exact solution for d = 1
+
+To the best of our knowledge, no exact shockwave solution has been found for the holographic model of Eq. (5) in d  2, so that in these cases one has to resort to numerics [6] or to linearization methods like the one presented above. However, an exact solution of the model with d = 1 was found in [5]. This is possible due to the absence of propagating gravitational degrees of freedom. We will present here this solution for completeness. In Fefferman-Graham coordinates it writes

+
+3 Information flow
+In the previous section we have studied the problem of energy flow between two initially isolated systems. The question then arises: how does information get exchanged between these two systems? Our next goal is to answer this question, and to this end we will study the information flow in the system.
+
+3.1 Entanglement entropy
+
+On the field theory side the entanglement entropy is defined in the following way. Let us divide the
+
+system into two subsystems A and B. Then the entanglement entropy of the subsystem A is defined
+
+as the von Neumann entropy of the reduced density matrix obtained by tracing out the degrees of
+
+freedom of the subsystem B. On the gravity side, the entanglement entropy can be computed as
+
+a generalization of the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy formula [9�11]. It follows from the area law
+
+relation
+
+SA
+
+=
+
+Area(A) 4G
+
+,
+
+(19)
+
+where the manifold A is the d-dimensional minimal surface in AdSd+2 whose boundary is given by A, and G is the (d + 2)-dimensional Newton constant. The computation of the holographic entan-
+
+glement entropy requires the study of minimal surfaces, and this demands the solution of geodesic
+
+equations.
+
+In the following we will restrict to the case d = 1 for simplicity, with coordinates (t, x, z). We
+
+will study minimal surfaces whose boundary at z = 0 is in x = xL and x = xR, and consider spacelike intervals with t(xL) = t(xR). The minimal surface compatible with these boundary conditions
+
+EPJ Web of Conferences
+
+corresponds to a geodesic line in AdS3, and it follows from a solution of the geodesic equations,
+
+which read
+
+d2 xP d s2
+
++
+
+PMN
+
+dxM ds
+
+dxN ds
+
+=
+
+0,
+
+P = t, x, z .
+
+(20)
+
+The induced metric on the minimal surface reads
+
+hab
+
+=
+
+xM xa
+
+xN xb
+
+gMN
+
+=
+
+hss ,
+
+(21)
+
+where s is the coordinate of the surface. The entanglement entropy then follows from the area of the manifold A, which can be computed from the induced metric as
+
+SA
+
+=
+
+1 4G
+
+s( xR )
+ds L ,
+s( xL )
+
+with L = hss .
+
+(22)
+
+At this point it is convenient to consider s as an affine parameter, so that
+
+xM s
+
+xN s
+
+gMN
+
+=
+
+1,
+
+(23)
+
+and the entanglement entropy of Eq. (22) reduces to the trivial integration SA =
+
+1 4G
+
+s( xR ) s( xL )
+
+d s.
+
+The
+
+solution of the geodesic equations leads to the behavior z  e-|s| in the regime s  �, and then
+
+one concludes that the entanglement entropy is divergent. In the present case the divergence behaves
+as Area(dAiv)  -2L log zuv + � � � , and a renormalization scheme is required. We will use a minimal subtraction scheme, so that the renormalized entanglement entropy is defined as
+
+SrAen
+
+=
+
+1 4G
+
+Area(A) - Area(dAiv)
+
+with Area(dAiv) = -2L log zuv .
+
+(24)
+
+In the rest of the manuscript we will compute renormalized entropies according to this formula, and we will omit the superscript ren.
+
+3.2 Geodesic equations
+
+The geodesic equations of Eq. (20) consist of three coupled differential equations of second order, whose solution can be expressed in the parametric form
+
+t = t(s) , x = x(s) , z = z(s) .
+
+(25)
+
+These equations can be solved by imposing six boundary conditions, which are:
+
+tzx(((sssLLL)))
+
+= = =
+
+t(sR) xL , z(sR)
+
+= =
+
+t0 x(sR)
+zuv
+
+=
+
+xR
+
+(26)
+
+We will use the shooting method for the numerical computation of the geodesic equations: we shoot the solution from s = 0 with given values of {t(0), x(0), z(0)} and {t (0), x (0), z (0)}, and then find the values of these initial conditions that lead to the desired boundary values at s  sL,R. 2
+2There are in the literature other numerical methods for the solution of this two-point boundary value problem. An example are the relaxation methods, in which the solution is determined by starting with an initial guess and improving it iteratively, see e.g. [16].

+
+We have introduced a cutoff zuv 1 to regularize the problem, and this induces also a cutoff in the affine parameter, i.e. sL  -| log zuv| and sR  | log zuv|. In the following we will consider space-like intervals A and B as shown in Fig. 3. It is displayed in Figs. 4 and 5 a typical solution of the geodesic equations, which fulfills the boundary conditions of Eq. (26). Once the geodesics are obtained, the next step is to compute the area of these curves and then the entanglement entropy from Eq. (24). In the rest of this section we will present some results for the time evolution of the entanglement entropy in the system of Sec. 2.
+3.3 Entanglement entropy and universal time evolution
+For the moment we will consider a single interval x  [xL, xR], that we denote by A, placed in the positive semiplane, i.e. xL,R > 0. Let us study the time evolution of the entanglement entropy SA during the process of quenching. We are considering the model with d = 1, so that the shockwaves are at t = |x|. This means that the shockwaves touch the two ends of the interval at times t = |xL| and t = |xR|, see Fig. 3. We will denote these values as tL and tR respectively. If one assumes the limit

+
+   in Eq. (18), the entanglement entropy turns out to be constant in the regimes 0  t  tL and tR  t, and there is a non trivial time evolution only in the interval tL  t  tR, i.e.

+
+We display in Fig. 6 (left) the time evolution of the entanglement entropy of interval A of Fig. 3, from
+a numerical computation of the geodesic equations. Let us focus on the regime tL  t  tR. It is convenient to define the normalized entanglement entropy fA() as
+
+fA()
+
+
+
+SA(t) - SA(t = 0) SA(t = ) - SA(t = 0)
+
+with
+
+  (t - t0)/t ,
+
+(28)
+
+where t0 = tL and t = = |xR - xL|. This corresponds to the function SA(t) normalized to the interval [0,1] in both horizontal and vertical axes. It is clear from Eqs. (27) and (28) that fA() has the extreme values fA(0) = 0 and fA(1) = 1. We have computed numerically the entanglement entropy SA(t) in a wide variety of configurations with different temperatures TL, TR and lengths , and find that the behavior of fA() in every case is
+
+fA() 32 - 23 , 0    1 .
+
+(29)
+
+This function fits extremely well the numerical results of the entanglement entropies up to moderate gradients, i.e. |TL - TR| < TL + TR. This is illustrated in Fig. 6 (right) for a particular case. The result of Eq. (29) is independent of the values of the parameters TL, TR and , and so it implies the existence of an 'almost' universal time-evolution of entanglement entropy in the theory with d = 1. 3
+The analysis presented above applies also to intervals in the negative semiplane. We show in Fig. 6 (left) the entanglement entropy of interval B of Fig. 3. Note that both functions, SA(t) and SB(t), tend to the same value when the intervals reach the steady state regime.
+3The deviations from universality are stronger for bigger temperature differences.

The dots correspond to the numerical result with the interval A in Fig. 3, while the continuous line is the universal behavior fA() = 32 - 23.
+
+3.4 Conservation of entanglement entropy
+
+Let us consider the two extreme regimes t = 0 and t  . It is possible to obtain analytical results for the entanglement entropies in these cases for the model with d = 1 presented in Sec. 2.4. When t = 0 the metric corresponds to a stepwise black hole, i.e.
+
+ds2 = ds2L(-x) + ds2R(x) .
+
+(30)
+
+If we place the interval in just one semiplane, i.e. xL,R > 0 (or xL,R < 0), the entanglement entropy corresponds to the one for a stationary black hole at temperature T , which reads
+
+S(T,
+
+; t = 0) = L log 2G
+
+1 T
+
+sinh(
+
+T)
+
+,
+
+:= |xR - xL| .
+
+(31)
+
+In this equation T = TL (or TR) when xL,R < 0 (or xL,R > 0). In the other extreme, t  , the system is in the steady state regime, and the entanglement entropy is the one for a boosted black hole, that reads (see [18] for a derivation) 4
+
+S(TL, TR,
+
+; t = ) = L log 4G
+
+1 2TLTR
+
+sinh (
+
+TL) sinh (
+
+TR)
+
+.
+
+(32)
+
+These analytical results, Eqs. (31) and (32), correspond to SA(t = 0) and SA(t = ) in Eq. (27), respectively. From these formulas one can easily obtain the following property:
+
+SA(t = 0) + SB(t = 0) = SA(t = ) + SB(t = ) ,
+
+(33)
+
+where we have considered intervals A with xLA,R > 0, and B with xLB,R < 0, and lengths = A = B. This property is non trivial, as in the lhs of Eq. (33) there is the contribution of stationary black
+
+4Note that Eq. (32) is valid when t  max(|xL|, |xR|) if the initial profile F(v) in Eq. (18) is a stepwise function, i.e. in the limit   . When F(v) is a smooth function, the rhs of Eq. (32) corresponds to the asymptotic value of the entanglement entropy at very late times, i.e. for t max(|xL|, |xR|).

+
+hole solutions at temperatures TL and TR, while in the rhs there is a boosted black hole and the corresponding energy flow contributes as well to the entanglement entropy. This relation is very interesting as it implies the 'conservation' of entanglement entropies between t = 0 and t = .
+It is displayed in Fig. 7 (left) the time evolution of SA+B  SA + SB. We can see that our numerics confirms the conservation rule of Eq. (33). In the next subsection we will study this system in the
+quenching regime, i.e. tL  t  tR in Eq. (27), and characterize some violations of the entanglement entropy conservation in this case.
+
+3.5 Non-universal effects in time evolution
+
+As it is shown in Fig. 7 (left), we find from our numerics that SA+B(t) cte in the quenching regime. This implies that the entanglement entropy is not exactly conserved at intermediate times. A straightforward computation shows that these non-conservation effects are only possible if there are nonuniversal contributions in Eq. (29), otherwise this equation would predict SA+B(t) = cte.
+In the following we will restrict to intervals A and B with the same length and placed symmetrically with respect to x = 0, i.e. A = B and xLA,R = -xRB,L. While the function SA+B(t) has the same value at t = 0 and t =  (see Eq. (33)), we find from our numerics that it has a maximum at tmax = (tL+tR)/2. In order to characterize the time evolution of SA+B(t), let us define the normalized entanglement entropy
+
+fA+B()
+
+
+
+SA+B (t) - SA+B(t = 0) SA+B(tmax) - SA+B(t = 0)
+
+with
+
+  (t - t0)/t ,
+
+(34)
+
+where t0 and t are defined as in Eq. (28). Finally, from a numerical computation of fA+B() in a wide variety of intervals, we find that its behavior is universal and it is given by
+
+fA+B() 4(1 - ) 3 , 0    1 .
+
+(35)
+
+This is illustrated in Fig. 7 (right) for several configurations. From a combination of the results in Eqs. (29) and (35), we conclude that the normalized entanglement entropy defined in Eq. (28) can be
+
+ICNFP 2016
+
+written as
+
+fA() = 32 - 23 + A() , with A() C(TL, TR, ) � [4(1 - )]3 .
+
+(36)
+
+The factor C(TL, TR, ) has a non-universal dependence on the parameters of the interval, so that A()
+is a non-universal contribution to fA(). Note, however, that C(TL, TR, ) does not affect the universal
+behavior of fA+B(), see Eq. (35). Some remarks deserve to be mentioned: on the one hand, A() is a correction of order O(3), so that it does not jeopardize the behavior SA(t)  t2 which seems to be
+general in a wide variety of systems. On the other hand, the effect of A() is extremely small in the configurations we have studied numerically. 5
+
+4 Conclusions and outlook
+In this work we have studied a holographic model for far-from-equilibrium dynamics that allows to describe the time dependent properties of energy flow and information flow of two thermal reservoirs initially isolated. Of relevance in this system is the appearance of a universal steady state, described by a boosted black brane. By using a linearization method, we have described the formation of the steady state and the propagation of shockwaves for any space-time dimension. A relevant observable that provides physical insight into the evolution of the system is the entanglement entropy, which measures the information flow between two subsystems. By using the exact solution for d = 1 provided in [5], we have studied numerically the time evolution of the entanglement entropy, and characterized some universal properties of the quenching process.
+There remain some open questions. It would be interesting to study the entanglement entropy at higher dimensions, i.e. for d  2. This can be easily done by using the linearized background presented in this work. An analysis beyond the linear response regime, i.e. for 0 < TR/TL < 1, would demand a full numerical solution of the equations of motion for the background, see e.g. [6, 16, 18� 20]. A quantity of interest related to the entanglement entropy is the mutual information, which measures which information of subsystem A is contained in subsystem B. An advantage of this quantity is that it is finite, so that it does not need to be regularized. The Ryu-Takayanagi formula for entanglement entropy satisfies some inequalities that set special restrictions, and have profound implications for the structure of holographic quantum states and their correlations. Apart from the monogamy of mutual information and strong subadditivity, other inequalities involving a large number of subsystems have been proved in the static case, see e.g. [21]. It would be interesting the study the time evolution of the mutual information, and to check the validity of the entanglement entropy inequalities in time dependent systems. These and other issues will be addressed in a forthcoming publication [18].

+It is argued that the superposition approach, where partons are independently emitted from longitudinally extended sources in the early stage, is fully compatible with the experimental results for the forward-backward multiplicity correlations in Pb+Pb collisions at sNN = 2.76 TeV. The pertinent correlation analysis is based on the PhD Thesis of Ref. [1], which includes an unpublished analysis of data taken by the ALICE Collaboration. Our calculations show that in the experimentally covered pseudorapidity range  = 1.2, the initial sources in the backward and forward bins are maximally correlated, which complies to the string-like interpretation of the underlying early-stage production mechanism.

+1. Introduction In this paper we use the method developed in Ref. [2, 3] to confirm that the mechanism of early particle production at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) may be understood, to a good approximation, in terms of emission from independent sources which extend over a wide longitudinal range. Our analysis is performed with the help of simple formulas from Ref. [2] for the correlation coefficients. It uses the data taken by the ALICE Collaboration for Pb+Pb collisions at sNN = 2.76 TeV in the form presented in the PhD thesis by I. Sputowska [1].

+
+As is well known, the long-range rapidity correlations in hadronic collision experiments reveal information on the dynamics and evolution of the system in its earliest partonic phase. Experimentally, the multiplicity correlations in early pp and pp� collisions [4�9] and nuclear collisions [10, 11] were followed by the relativistic heavy-ion and pp experiments at RHIC [12�14] and the LHC [1, 15�18]. Physical pictures, models, and theoretical methods have been constructed along the quest to understand the data [19�47].
+The basic assumptions of the applied superposition framework are following [2, 3]:
+(a) Particle emission occurs independently from longitudinally extended sources.
+(b) The forward (F) and backward (B) bins are sufficiently well separated in pseudorapidity, such that the transition from the initial state to the final hadron distribution does not cause mixing between particles belonging to the F and B bins.
+Actually, our approach takes into account three stages typically distinguished in the evolution of the system: 1) early production of initial particles (forming an entropy density) from sources, 2) hydrodynamic or transport evolution in the intermediate phase, and finally 3) production of hadrons and their subsequent registration in detectors.
+Our derivation assumes for simplicity a single type of sources. In Appendix C we show how and under what conditions the model may be generalized to a case with multiple types of sources
+
+2. Formulas
+As explained in detail in Refs. [2, 3] (cf. also Appendix A in the present work), the above-mentioned stages 1) and 3) involve, from the statistical point of view, folding of statistical distributions, whereas stage 2) results in a linear transformation of the particle (fluid) density. The three stages may be combined to yield a very simple "pocket" formula involving only one free parameter, relating the correlation of the initial sources sF and sB in the F and B bins in spatial rapidity, denoted as (sF , sB), to statistical quantities accessible experimentally. These quantities are the correlation of the numbers of charged hadrons nF and nB in the experimental F and B bins in pseudorapidity, denoted as (nF , nB) (a.k.a. the b coefficient), and the scaled variances of multiplicities in the F and B bins, (nF ) and (nB).

+where  stands for Pearson's correlation coefficient,  denotes the scaled variance, and  is a phenomenological constant, whose anatomy is discussed in Appendix A. An important feature is that  does not depend on the rapidity separation of the F and B bins, nor (to a good approximation) on the centrality of the collision. Thus, for a given experimental setup (energy of the collision, width of the bins in pseudorapidity, detector acceptance) it is constant. We can rearrange Eq. (1) to extract :
+
+ =  (nA)
+
+1 - (nF , nB) (sF , sB)
+
+.
+
+(2)
+
+It should be stressed that relations (1-2) originate solely from assumptions (a) and (b) specified above and hold for any experimental data sample (e.g., any centrality cut). Thus their verification directly checks assumptions (a) and (b). Two straightforward tests emerge here, each based on one of the above formulas. First, we may use Eq. (2) with the experimental data for (nF , nB) and  (nA), as well as with the assumption (sF , sB) = 1 which should hold for not too large bin separations . If thus obtained  is indeed constant, the test is passed and the superposition model works. Second, we may use a suitably chosen constant value of  in Eq. (1) and obtain (sF , sB) at various centralities and bin separations .
+
+3. Results
+We begin presenting our results with the  parameter obtained from Eq. (2). The experimental quantities  (nA) and  (nF , nB) are extracted from a manual digitalization of the points in Figs. (3.3,3.4) published in the PhD Thesis by I. Sputowska [1]. The ALICE measurements are carried out with two different methods of determining the centrality of the collision, VZERO (empty symbols) and ZDCvsZEM (filled symbols). Essentially, the first method uses the multiplicity of hadrons in the central bin, whereas the other effectively determines the number of spectators (or participants) in the collision. We denote the center and the width of a centrality bin with c� and c, respectively.
+Our values for  are presented in Fig. 1 as a function of c for the F and B bin separation  = 1.2 (largest accessible experimentally). This separation is sufficiently large to minimize the mixing between the bins during the evolution of the system (our assumption (b)). At the same time,

+collisions at sNN = 2.76 TeV recorded by the ALICE experiment, digitized by the authors from Figs. (3.3,3.4) of the PhD thesis [1]. The result is plotted as a function of the width of the centrality bin, c, for several centralities of the center of the bin, c�, and for two centrality selection methods of Ref. [1]: VZERO (empty symbols) and ZDCvsZEM (filled symbols). The very similar values of  conform to the assumption of emission from independent longitudinally-extended sources which are maximally correlated over the pseudorapidity separation  = 1.2 between the forward and backward bins, i.e., (sF , sB) = 1.
+
+it is small enough to expect that the sources are maximally correlated, i.e.,  (sF , sB) = 1. We note that the values for  are within the band 1.1 � 0.1 for both methods of the centrality determination and for various c and c�. Taking into account the fact that  (nA) and  (nF , nB) vary significantly (even up to factors of 5, cf. Figs. (3.3,3.4) in Refs. [1]), the fact that the values of  are almost constant is far from trivial and conforms to the superposition mechanism from independent sources.
+Of course, there are departures in  from a strict constant value, and there is a number of factors which cause the effect: some remnant mixing of the bins (caused, e.g., by partons emitted into distant pseudorapidities in the early stage, or resonance decays in the late stage), non-linearity of the hydrodynamic or transport evolution, leading to corrections to the simple Eq. (B.2). Also, there may be nonlinear effects in the early production mechanism, as present, e.g., in the mixed model [48], where wounded nucleons [49] are amended with an admixture of binary collisions. The fact that  is to a good approximation constant shows that these effects are not

+very significant. We also note that the obtained values of  are larger than 1, which complies to the constraint (B.7).
+Next, in Fig. 2 we present the result for the forward-backward correlation of the number of the initial sources, (sF , sB), obtained from the Eq. (1), where we use the average value of  from Fig. 1, namely  = 1.1. The correlation is plotted as a function c for various c� and for the data with both VZERO and ZDCvsZEM centrality determination methods for  = 1.2, the same as used in Fig. 1. We note that the resulting values for (sF , sB) are close to 1, in accordance to the hypothesis of a maximum correlation of sources over a moderate pseudorapidity range. The fact that for certain cases the points go slightly above 1 (which is mathematically precluded for the correlation coefficient) is caused by the above-listed effects modifying the simplest superposition model, as well as by experimental errors, not incorporated in our analysis.
+Finally, in Fig. 3 we plot (sF , sB) as a function of the pseudorapidity separation  for the case c = 10%. For this purpose the necessary data were digitized from Figs. (3.1,3.6) of Ref. [1]. As before, we use  = 1.11. We note that in the covered range of  the resulting (sF , sB) is very close to 1 and independent of the centrality c�.

+4. Conclusions
+The main result of our analysis is that the hadron production mechanism based on production from independent sources, strongly correlated over the accessible pseudorapidity range, works very well in Pb+Pb collisions at the LHC. The key test here is the constant value of the  parameter, as exhibited in Fig. 1. It also shows that the data analysis based on standard measures of F-B correlations is by all means useful and allows us for access to physics questions of the particle production mechanism in ultra-relativistic heavyion collisions. Note that the usefulness for the tests of the superposition mechanism explored here holds despite the effect of centrality fluctuations, which may be reduced through the use of other more elaborate correlation measures [16, 40, 43, 45, 50�52].
+The fact that (sF , sB)  1 in the covered range of  < 1.2 and for all values of centrality indicates that the original sources in the early phase of the reaction may indeed be viewed as longitudinally extended objects (strings [19]). If such objects extend over rapidity in such a way that the F and B bins are always covered, then in each event sF = sB and by definition we achieve the maximum correlation, (sF , sB) = 1.
+The analysis presented in this paper was model-independent in the sense that we have only used the assumptions (a) and (b) from Sect. 1, but have not referred to any specific model of the sources and particle production. With the method applied here and further spelled out in Refs. [2, 3], such explicit models may be put to stringent tests with the help of experimental

+Appendix A Superposition model
+
+In this Appendix we recall the relevant formulas in the superposition model. A detailed derivation is presented in Ref. [2]. Let the number of produced particles nA in bin A (A = F, B) be composed of independent emissions from sA sources,
+
+sA
+nA = mi,
+i=1
+
+(A.1)
+
+where mi is a random number of particles produced by the ith source. The distribution of mi is assumed to be universal, i.e., independent of the source i. Then one finds the well-known superposition formulas
+
+nA = m sA , var(nA) = var(m) sA + m 2var(sA).
+
+(A.2)
+
+Analogously, for the covariance between two well-separated bins we get immediately
+
+sF
+
+sB
+
+nF nB =
+
+mi mj = m 2 sF sB ,
+
+i=1 j=1
+
+(A.3)
+
+where we have used the fact that mimj = m 2, holding for i and j belonging to two different well-separated bins. As a result,
+
+cov(nF , nB) = m 2cov(sF , sB).
+
+(A.4)
+
+Appendix B
+Three stage approach
+Formulas (A.2,A.4) correspond to a single superposition step. In particular, such steps occur in the partonic phase, where partons are produced from the initial sources (strings), as well as in the late stage, where production of hadrons and their subsequent detection takes place. If superposition steps directly follow one another, the structure of Eqs. (A.2,A.4) remains preserved. For instance, this is the case of the hadron production step followed by the detection step (where the generic random variable mi would
+
+8
+
+fbc printed on March 13, 2017
+
+correspond to the detection of a hadron), hence we may combine these steps into a single one. The intermediate evolution stage (hydrodynamics, transport) also preserves the structure of Eqs. (A.2,A.4) and upon combining the three stages one finally has [2]
+
+nA =  sA , var(nA) =  sA + var(sA), cov(nF , nB) = cov(sF , sB).
+
+(B.1)
+
+Let � denote the random number of partons produced in the first stage, and m the random number of hadrons produced at final hadronization and registered by the detector. Further, if the number of partons is denoted with pA and the density of hydrodynamic fluid after the evolution as hA, we may approximate the effect of the intermediate phase as
+
+hA = tpA,
+
+(B.2)
+
+where t describes the intermediate evolution.1 As a result, we find
+
+ = t� m,  = t � var(m) + t2 m 2var(�),  = t2 � 2 m 2.
+
+(B.3)
+
+The inverse relations, relating moments of the sources via the moments on the measured hadrons, read
+
+var(sA) = var(nA) -  nA , cov(sF , sB) = cov(nF , nB),
+where the  parameter is given by relation
+
+(B.4)
+
+  = = (m) + t m (�).
+ Dividing Eqs. (B.4) side by side yields
+
+(B.5)
+
+ (sF , sB) =
+
+cov(sF , sB) = cov(sF , sB) var(sA) var(nA) -  nA

+
+The random variable m in Eq. (B.5) corresponds to hadronization of the fluid folded with the detector acceptance. Due to its statistical nature, production of hadrons from the hydrodynamic fluid is well described by a Poisson distribution, whereas detector acceptance is modeled with a Bernoulli distribution. Folding of the Poisson and Bernoulli distributions yields a Poisson distribution, hence (m) = 1. Since all other parameters in Eq. (B.5) are positive, we conclude that
+
+ > 1.
+
+(B.7)
+
+Distributions of � and m are universal in the sense that they do not depend on the pseudorapidity of the bin or the centrality of the collision. The parameter t, which describes the hydrodynamic or transport response, is also expected to be approximately universal, meaning linear response to the initial condition [53�56]. Therefore we expect  const.
+
+Appendix C Multiple types of sources
+
+Our model uses one type of sources which emit particles m with the same distribution, cf. Eq. (A.1). In this Appendix we show that under certain conditions our general results can be generalized to the case where we have more types of sources. For the simplest case of two kinds of sources
+
+SA
+
+SA
+
+nA = mi + mi ,
+
+i=1
+
+i =1
+
+A = F, B.
+
+Then, we find a generalization of Eq. (1) in the form
+
+(C.1)
+
+where
+
+(uF , uB) =
+
+1-
+
+(nF , nB)
+
+,
+
+SA var(m)+ SA var(m )
+
+SA m + SA m
+
+(nA)
+
+(C.2)
+
+uA = SA m + SA m .
+
+(C.3)
+
+We note the same structure as in Eq. (1), with  replaced with the combination
+
+=
+
+SA var(m) +
+
+SA
+
+var(m
+
+) .
+
+SA m + SA m
+
+(C.4)
+
+This combination is constant in two interesting cases:
+
+10
+
+REFERENCES
+
+1. SA =  SA ,
+2. var(m) =  m , var(m ) =  m ,
+where constants  or  do not depend on centrality or the pseudorapidity separation. In the first case  = (var(m)+var(m ))/( m + m ) = const., whereas in the second case  =  = const.
+The correlation (uF , uB) is a more complicated object which now plays the role of (SF , SB) from Eq. (1,2). In a more general analysis with sources of multiple types we should keep it as is. A simplification occurs, however, when in each event SA SA, i.e., the relative fluctuations are not too large. Then we have (uF , uB) (SF , SB) (SF , SB).
+A physical realization of scenario 1) is the quark-diquark model of Ref. [57] for the A-A collisions, where we expect that (event-by-event) the numbers of wounded quarks and diquarks are proportional to each other. Scenario 2) occurs where the scaled variances of m and m are equal. This is, e.g., the case of the Poisson distributions, or more general negative binomial distributions with the same parameters controlling the scaled variance.
+A generalization of the discussion of this Appendix to more than two types of sources is straightforward, with the sums showing up in the formulas extending from 2 to n kinds.
+In conclusion, the analysis of this paper may be extended to the case where the superposition model involves more types of sources under the condition that the combination (C.4) is (approximately) constant. Conversely, the constant value of  (as to a good approximation occurs in Fig. (1)), does not require the assumption of a single type of sources.

+On properties of the coefficients of the complicated and exotic expansions of the solutions of the sixth Painlev�e
+equation
+I. V. Goryuchkina
+
+It is known, that among the formal solutions of the sixth Painlev�e equation there met series with integer power exponents of the independent variable x with coefficients in form of formal Laurent series (with finite main parts) in log-1 x (complicated expansions), or in x i , where
+ i = -1,   R,  = 0 (exotic expansions). These coefficients can be computed consecutively. Here we research analytic properties of the series, that are the coefficients of the complicated and exotic expansions of the solutions of the sixth Painlev�e equation.

+Abstract. Inspired by subsequential ergodic theorems we study the validity of Wiener's lemma and the extremal behavior of a measure � on the unit circle via the behavior of its Fourier coefficients �(kn) along subsequences (kn). We focus on arithmetic subsequences such as polynomials, primes and polynomials of primes, and also discuss connections to rigidity and return times sequences as well as measures on R. We also present consequences for orbits of operators and of C0-semigroups on Hilbert and Banach spaces extending the results of Goldstein [31] and Goldstein, Nagy [33].
+
+1. Introduction
+
+Wiener's lemma is a classical result connecting the asymptotic behavior of the Fourier coefficients
+�(n) = znd�(z)
+T
+of a complex Borel measure � on the unit circle T with its values on singletons. Despite its elementary proof, it has found remarkable applications in several areas of mathematics such as ergodic theory, operator theory, group theory and number theory.
+
+Theorem 1.1 (Wiener's Lemma). Let � be a complex Borel measure1 on the unit
+
+circle T. Then

+
+As a consequence, one has the following characterization of Dirac measures in
+
+terms of their Fourier coefficients. Here we restrict ourselves to probability measures
+
+and give the proof for the reader's convenience.
+
+Corollary 1.2 (Extremal behavior of Dirac measures). For a Borel probability

+
+Note that by the Koopman�von Neumann lemma, see Lemma 2.1 (b) below and the paragraph preceding it, (i) is equivalent to |�(n)|  1 in density as n   i.e., to the existence of a subset J of density 1 with limn,nJ |�(n)| = 1.
+
+Proof. Let � be a probability measure on T. If �({a}) = 1 for some a  T, then �(n) = an. Whence the implication (iii)(ii) follows, while (ii)(i) is trivial. To
+show (i)(iii), suppose (i). Theorem 1.1 yields

+
+implying �({a})2 = �({a}) or, equivalently, �({a})  {0, 1} for every atom a. We
+
+conclude that � is a Dirac measure.
+
+The previous two results have the following operator theoretic counterparts.
+
+Theorem 1.3 (Goldstein [32], Ballotti, Goldstein [5]). Let T be a (linear) contraction on a Hilbert space H, and for   C denote by P the orthogonal projection onto ker( - T ). Then for every x, y  H

+
+|(Px|y)|2.
+T
+
+It is easy to deduce the previous theorem from Wiener's lemma (and vice versa), even though the original proof of Goldstein went along different lines.
+The following Banach space version of Corollary 1.2 is more complex, see also Lin [47] and Baillon, Guerre-Delabri`ere [4] for related results. Note that in these papers, the results are formulated for C0-semigroups but are also valid for powers of operators with analogous proofs.
+
+Theorem 1.4 (Goldstein, Nagy [33]). Let T be a (linear) contraction on a Banach space E. Suppose for some x  E
+| T nx, x |  | x, x | for every x  E as n  .
+
+Then ( - T )x = 0 for some   T.
+
+The aim of this paper is to study the validity of Wiener's Lemma, Corollary 1.2 and Theorems 1.3, 1.4 along subsequences of N, where we study the equivalences (i)(iii) and (ii)(iii) in Corollary 1.2 separately.
+First of all, some words about terminology. The term complex measure refers to C-valued -additive set function (which is then automatically finite valued, and has finite variation). In this paper only Borel measures will be considered. A subsequence (kn) in N will refer to a function k : N  N which is strictly increasing for sufficiently large indices. Banach and Hilbert spaces will be considered over the complex field C.
+Sequences for which Wiener's lemma and the extremality of Dirac measures work well include certain polynomial sequences, the primes, certain polynomials of primes and certain return times sequences as will be shown below. As an application of the general results we shall prove among others the following, maybe at first glance surprisingly looking, facts. We denote by pn the nth prime.
+1) The only Borel probability measures on T with |�(pn)|  1 for n   are the Dirac measures (Theorem 4.4).
+
+WIENER'S LEMMA ALONG SUBSEQUENCES
+
+3
+
+2) If T is a (linear) contraction on a Hilbert space and x  H \ {0} is such that |(T pnx|x)|  x 2 as n  , then x is an eigenvector of T to a unimodular eigenvalue (Theorems 4.4 and 5.9).
+3) If T is a power bounded operator on a Banach space E and x  E \ {0} is such that | T pn x, x |  | x, x | as n   for every x  E, then x is an eigenvector of T to a unimodular eigenvalue (Corollary 5.6).
+We also relate our results to rigidity sequences and discover a property of such sequences as a byproduct which appears to be new.
+Our results are inspired by ergodic theory, where the study of ergodic theorems along subsequences has been a rich area of research with connections to harmonic analysis and number theory. Furstenberg [30] described norm convergence of ergodic averages of unitary operators along polynomials. Pointwise convergence of ergodic averages for measure preserving transformations along polynomials and primes, answering a question of Bellow and Furstenberg, was proved by Bourgain [12, 13, 14] and Wierdl [60], with polynomials of primes treated by Wierdl [59] and Nair [52, 51]. To illustrate the wealth of literature on ergodic theorems along subsequences we refer, e.g., to Bellow [8], Bellow, Losert [7], Baxter, Olsen [6], Rosenblatt, Wierdl [56], Berend, Lin, Rosenblatt, Tempelman [9], Boshernitzan, Kolesnik, Quas, Wierdl [11], Krause [42], Zorin-Kranich [64], Mirek [48], Eisner [19], Frantzikinakis, Host, Kra [29], Wooley, Ziegler [62].
+The paper is organized as follows. Section 2 is devoted to an abstract version of Wiener's lemma along subsequences. In Section 3 we study extremal and Wiener extremal subsequences, see Definition 3.1. The case of polynomials, primes and polynomials of primes is treated in Section 4. Section 5 is devoted to applications to orbits of operators on Hilbert and Banach spaces. The continuous parameter case is discussed in Section 6, where parallels and differences to the time discrete case are pointed out.

+
+2. Wiener's Lemma along subsequences
+
+Recall that a sequence (an) in C is called convergent in density to a  C,
+
+with notation D- limn an = a if there exists a set J  N of density 1 with
+
+limn,nJ an
+
+=
+
+a.
+
+The
+
+density

+is
+
+defined
+
+by
+
+limn
+
+|J
+
+{1,...,n}| n
+
+,
+
+provided the limit exists.
+
+The following is the classical Koopman�von Neumann lemma together with a
+
+slight variation.
+
+Lemma 2.1. (a) For a bounded sequence (an) in [0, ) the following are equiva-
+
+lent:
+
+(i) D- limn an = 0.
+
+(ii)
+
+limN 
+

+(iii)

+N n=1

+

+
+(b) For a bounded sequence (bn) in (-, 1] the following are equivalent:
+
+(i) D- limn bn = 1.
+
+(ii)
+
+limN 
+
+1 N
+
+N n=1
+
+bn
+
+=
+
+1.
+
+If bn  0, then these assertions are also equivalent to:

+
+Proof. (a), (i)(ii) is the content of the Koopman�von Neumann lemma, see, e.g., [40] or [21, Ch. 9], whereas (i)(iii) is a direct consequence. (b) follows from (a) by considering an := 1 - bn.
+
+We further recall the following notion from Rosenblatt, Wierdl [56], see also [21, Chapter 21].
+
+Definition 2.2. A subsequence (kn) of N is called good if
+
+for every   T the limit
+
+lim
+
+1
+
+N
+kn =: c()
+
+exists.
+
+N  N
+
+n=1
+
+Moreover, (kn) is called an ergodic sequence if c = 1{1}, the characteristic function of {1}. We call the set  := { : c() = 0} the spectrum of the sequence (kn) in analogy to, e.g., Lin, Olsen, Tempelman [46].
+
+By an application of the spectral theorem it follows that a sequence (kn) is good
+if and only if it is good for the mean ergodic theorem, that is if for every measure preserving system (X, , T ) and every f  L2(X, ) the averages
+
+1
+
+N
+T kn f
+
+N
+
+n=1
+
+converge in L2(X, ), where T denotes the Koopman operator corresponding to the
+
+transformation T defined by f  f  T . A good sequence is then ergodic if and
+
+only if the above limit always equals the orthogonal projection PFix(T )f onto the fixed space Fix(T ) = ker(1 - T ).
+
+Remark 2.3. For each subsequence (kn) of N, the sequence (kn ) is equidistributed in T for almost every   T implying that c() exists and is 0 for Lebesgue almost every   T, see, e.g., Kuipers, Niederreiter [43, Theorem 1.4.1] (or Theorem 2.2 on page 50 of [56], or combine Kronecker's lemma with Carleson's theorem). The
+function c clearly satisfies c(1) = 1, c() = c() and |c()|  1 whenever c() exists. Moreover, if |c()| = 1, then kn converges to c() in density, which follows by Lemma 2.1 (b) applied to an := Re(c()kn ). Thus c is a multiplicative function on the subgroup { : |c()| = 1} of T. The function c : T  C is Borel measurable (if it exists).
+
+We present one more property of the limit function c. For an integer d  0 we set Gd := {  T : d = 1}, the group of dth roots of unity.
+Proposition 2.4. Let (kn) be a good sequence with corresponding limit function c. Then there exists an integer d  0 such that  := {  T : |c()| = 1} = Gd.
+Proof. It follows from Remark 2.3 that  is a group, and it is then well-known that  is either finite or dense in T. We shall prove that it is finite.
+
+Since (kn) is good, c is the pointwise limit of a sequence of continuous functions on a compact space. Hence, by a theorem of Baire, its set of continuity points is
+
+dense in T.
+
+As
+
+mentioned
+
+in
+
+Remark
+
+2.3,

+
+0
+
+for
+
+almost
+
+every  (with respect to the Haar measure on T). If  is not finite, we infer that c
+
+is nowhere continuous, which is impossible.
+
+The following general fact may appear to be well known, but we could not find a reference.

+
+In this case, the limit superior is a limit, and � is supported in a coset Gd for some integer d  0.

+Since 1 - Re(c(1�2))  0 (and |c|  1). We infer that there exists 2  T such that for �-a.e. 1  T, c(1�2) = 1. Hence, � is supported on 2, which equals 2Gd for some integer d  0 by Proposition 2.4. This shows one implication.

+
+Remark 2.10. Let (kn) be a strictly increasing sequence in N having positive density. If the characteristic function of {kn : n  N} is a Hartmann sequence (i.e., has Fourier coefficients), then (kn) is good with at most countable spectrum (see, e.g., Lin, Olsen, Tempelman [46] or Kahane [39]).

+
+By using a result2 of Boshernitzan, which we recall for the sake of completeness, it is possible to show that good sequences with positive upper density have countable spectrum. Actually, his Theorem 41 in Rosenblatt [55] is stated in the case where nk = k for every k  N, but the proof is the same.
+
+Proposition 2.11 (Boshernitzan, see Rosenblatt [55]). Let (an) be a bounded sequence of complex numbers and let (Nm) be a subsequence of N. For every  > 0, the set
+
+T
+
+:
+
+lim inf
+k
+
+1 Nm
+
+Nm
+a
+=1
+
+
+
+is finite.
+
+Recall that the upper density of a subsequence (kn) of N is defined by
+
+d(kn)
+
+:=
+
+lim sup
+N 
+
+|{n
+
+:
+
+kn  N
+
+N }| .
+
+Corollary 2.12. Let (kn) be a good subsequence of N with positive upper density. For every  > 0 the set {  T : |c()|  } is finite. In particular, (kn) has countable spectrum.
+
+Proof. By assumption, there exists a subsequence (Nm)mN of N such that
+
+lim
+m
+
+|{n
+
+:
+
+kn  Nm
+
+Nm}|
+
+=
+

+0.
+

+
+1 Nm
+
+Nm =1
+
+1A()
+
+-
+m
+
+c().
+
+An application of Proposition 2.11 with a = 1A() finishes the proof.
+
+Remark 2.13. A good sequence need not have positive upper density as, e.g., kn = n2 shows. See Section 4 below for this and other examples. On the other hand, a sequence with positive upper density (and even density) does not have to be good. Indeed, take 2N and change 2n to 2n + 1 if 2n lies in any interval of the form [4, 2�4],   N. This sequence has density 1/2 but c(-1) does not exist. Modifying this construction it is easy to construct a sequence with density arbitrarily close to 1 which is not good. (Note that 1 cannot be achieved: every sequence with density 1 is automatically good.)
+
+Remark 2.14. Suppose (kn) is a subsequence of N (not necessarily good) such that there is an at most countable set  such that c() exists and equals 0 for every   . By carrying out the same calculation as in the proof of (a) in Proposition 2.5 and using the Koopman�von Neumann Lemma 2.1 we see that for each continuous measure on T we have �(kn)  0 in density. It would be interesting to characterize those subsequences (kn) for which a (probability) measure is continuous if and only if �(kn)  0 in density.

+
+3. (Wiener) extremal subsequences
+
+In this section we characterize subsequences (kn) for which the equivalences (i)(iii) and (ii)(iii) in Corollary 1.2 remain valid and show that (i)(ii) fails in general.
+
+Definition 3.1. Let (kn) be a subsequence of N. We call a Borel probability measure � Wiener extremal or extremal along (kn) if � satisfies
+
+lim
+N 
+
+1 N
+
+N
+
+|�(kn)|2 = 1
+
+or
+
+lim
+n
+
+|�(kn)|
+
+=
+
+1,
+
+respectively.
+
+n=1
+
+A subsequence (kn) in N is called (Wiener) extremal if every (Wiener) extremal measure is a Dirac measure. If every (Wiener) extremal discrete measure is Dirac,
+
+then we call (kn) (Wiener) extremal for discrete measures.
+
+We first consider Wiener extremal sequences.
+
+Theorem 3.2. For a subsequence (kn) of N consider the following assertions:
+(i) (kn) is Wiener extremal. (ii) (kn) is Wiener extremal for discrete measures. (iii) For each z  T whenever
+
+D- lim zkn  1,
+n
+then z = 1. (iv) c() = 1 implies  = 1. Then (i)(ii)(iii)(iv). Moreover, (i)(ii) if (kn) is good.
+
+Proof. (i)(ii) is trivial and (iii)(iv) follows from Remark 2.3.
+
+(iii)(ii): Assume that there exists a discrete probability measure which is extremal and not Dirac. Let a, b be two different atoms of �. Since
+
+|�(n)|  |an�({a}) + bn�({b})| +
+
+�({})  1,
+
+=a,b atom
+
+the extremality of � implies that |akn �({a}) + bkn �({b})| converges in density to �({a}) + �({b}) or, equivalently, that |akn - bkn | converges in density to 1. Taking
+z := ab = 1 in (iii), we arrive at a contradiction.
+
+(ii)(iii): Assume that there exists z  T with z = 1 such that zkn converges to 1 in density. Then for the probability measure � defined by �({1}) = �({z}) = 1/2
+
+�(kn)
+
+=
+
+1
+
++ zkn 2
+
+converges to 1 in density, hence (i) is false.
+
+The last assertion follows immediately from Corollary 2.8.
+
+Replacing, in the above proof, the Ces`aro limit by the classical limit and convergence in density by classical convergence yields the following.
+
+Theorem 3.3. For a sequence (kn) in N consider the following assertions:
+(i) (kn) is extremal. (ii) (kn) is extremal for discrete measures. (iii) G((kn)) := {z : zkn  1} = {1}.
+
+10
+
+CHRISTOPHE CUNY, TANJA EISNER, AND BA� LINT FARKAS
+
+Then (i)(ii)(iii). Moreover, (i)(ii) if (kn) is good.
+
+Remark 3.4 (Ergodic sequences). By the above characterizations or by Proposition 2.5 (c), every ergodic sequence is Wiener extremal and hence extremal, too.
+
+We recall the notation Gd =: {  T : d = 1} and observe the following.
+
+Proposition 3.5. Let (kn) be a subsequence of N satisfying
+
+lim inf
+n
+
+(kn+1
+
+-
+
+kn)
+
+<
+
+.
+
+Then any probability measure � that is extremal along (kn) is discrete with supp(�)  0Gd for some d  N and some 0  T. As a consequence, the following assertions are equivalent:
+
+(i) (kn) is extremal. (ii) (kn) is extremal for discrete measures. (iii) For every q  N, q  2 there are infinitely many n with kn / qN.
+
+Remark 3.6. Note that assertion (iii) above just means that (kn) is extremal for roots of unity, i.e.,
+lim kn = 1,   T root of unity =  = 1.
+n
+Remark 3.7. A sequence (kn) with lim infn(kn+1 - kn) <  need not be good. An example is given by the sequence 2, 4, . . . , 2n, . . . where along a subsequence of density 0 we insert 2k + 1 right after 2k; or see Remark 2.13 for a not good sequence with positive density. Conversely, a good sequence (even if Wiener extremal) need not have such small gaps: Again kn = n2 is an example. Also, small gaps in (kn) do not imply that (kn) would be extremal, an example is kn = pn + 1, pn the nth prime. See Section 4 for more information.
+
+Proof of Proposition 3.5. By assumption there exists an integer d  N and a subsequence (n)N, such that
+
+kn+1 - kn = d for all   N.
+
+(4)
+
+Let � be extremal along (kn), and let n  [0, 2) be such that �^(kn) = ein |�^(kn)|. Then
+
+(1
+[0,2)
+

+
+cos(knt

+-
+
+n))d�(t)
+
+=
+
+1
+
+-
+
+|�^(kn)|
+
+-
+n
+
+0.
+
+Hence, (cos(kn � -n ))N admits a subsequence converging �-a.e. to 1. For simplicity, let us assume that the sequence itself converges �-a.e. to 1 and that n  0  [0, 2] as   . Similarly, we may assume that (cos(kn+1 � -n+1))N converges �-a.e to 1 and that n+1  1  [0, 2] as   .
+
+By using (4), we infer that for �-a.e. t  [0, 2)
+
+dt - 1 + 0 = 0
+
+mod 2.
+
+Hence, � is a discrete measure with supp(�)  0Gd for 0 = ei(1-0)/d and the first assertion is proven.
+
+By Theorem 3.3, it remains to show (iii)(i). Let � be extremal along (kn).
+
+By the above we have � =
+
+d j=1
+
+cj 0j ,
+
+where
+
+c1, . . . , cd

+
+

+
+0  T and 1, . . . , d being the dth roots of unity. The extremality of � implies
+
+|�^(kn)|2 =
+
+d cj kj n 2 =
+
+d
+
+cj cm(j m)kn
+
+-
+n
+
+1.
+
+j=1
+
+j,m=1
+
+By convexity reasons this is possible only if limn(j m)kn = 1 whenever cjcm = 0. Thus (iii) and Remark 3.6 imply j = m whenever cjcm = 0, meaning that � is Dirac.
+
+Remark 3.8. For a subsequence (kn) and a subset J  N of density 1, (kn)nJ has the same upper density as (kn)nN by
+
+1 N
+
+1
+
+
+
+1 N
+
+1  0 as N  .
+
+kn N ,n/ J
+
+nN,n/J
+
+Lemma 3.9. Let (kn)nN be a subsequence of N with positive upper density. Then lim infn(kn+1 - kn) < .
+
+Proof. Assume that kn+1 - kn   as n  . Let A > 0. There exists M > 0 such that for every n  M , kn+1 - kn  A. Hence, for every n  M we have kn  kM + (n - M )A  (n - M )A. Hence, for every N  N large enough,
+|{n : kn  N }|  N/A + M
+and thus d(kn)  1/A  0 as A  , resulting in a contradiction.
+
+Remark 3.10. It is not difficult to exhibit sequences (kn) with density 0 such that lim infn(kn+1 - kn) < . An important example is the sequence of primes (pn)nN. It is a recent, highly non-trivial result of Zhang that lim infn(pn+1 - pn) < , see [63] or the paper [53] by the Polymath project.
+We have the following characterization of Wiener extremality for sequences with positive upper density. Note that extremality of such sequences was characterized in Proposition 3.5.
+
+Proposition 3.11 (Wiener extremality of sequences with positive upper density). For a subsequence (kn) with positive upper density the following assertions are equivalent:
+(i) (kn) is Wiener extremal. (ii) (kn) is Wiener extremal for discrete measures. (iii) d({n : kn / qN}) > 0 for every q  N, q  2.
+
+Note that assertion (iii) above just means that (kn) is Wiener extremal for roots of unity, i.e.,
+D- lim kn = 1,   T root of unity =  = 1.
+n
+Proof. It suffices to show the implications (ii)(i) and (ii)(iii).
+
+(ii)(i): Suppose that (kn) is Wiener extremal for discrete measures and let �
+be a Wiener extremal measure along (kn) with decomposition � = �d + �c into
+discrete and continuous parts. By Lemma 2.1 (b) and Remark 3.8 there exists a subsequence (kn ) of (kn) of positive upper density such that limn |�^(kn )| = 1. By Theorem 1.1, Lemma 2.1 (a) there is a subsequence (mn) of N of density one
+
+12
+
+CHRISTOPHE CUNY, TANJA EISNER, AND BA� LINT FARKAS
+
+with limn |�^c(mn)| = 0. Denoting by (n) the non-trivial intersection of (mn) with (kn ) we obtain
+
+1
+
+=
+
+lim
+n
+
+|�^(n)|
+
+=
+
+lim
+n
+
+|�^d(n)|.
+
+Thus �d is also a probability measure, and therefore � = �d is Dirac by the as-
+
+sumption.
+
+(ii)(iii): By the equidistribution of (zn) for any irrational z (i.e., z not a root of unity) combined with Lemma 2.1 (b) and Remark 3.8 we obtain the implication:
+
+D- lim zkn = 1 = z is rational.
+n
+
+In particular, by Theorem 3.2 (kn) is not extremal for discrete measures if and only if there exists q  N, q  2 such that the set of n with kn  qN has density one.
+
+Thus, the question of characterizing extremality becomes interesting for sequences of density zero, see Section 4.
+
+Example (Return time sequences). Let (X, �, T ) be an ergodic measure preserving
+
+probability system, and let T also denote the corresponding Koopman operator on
+
+L2(X, �) defined by T f = f T . Let A  X with �(A) > 0. We show that for almost
+
+every x  X the return times sequence (kn) corresponding to {n  N : T nx  A} is Wiener extremal (and hence extremal) whenever T is totally ergodic. Note that
+
+return times sequences play an important role for ergodic theorems, see Bourgain's
+
+celebrated return times theorem in Bourgain, Furstenberg, Katznelson, Ornstein
+
+[16] and a survey by Assani, Presser [3]. Let A,x(n) := |{k  n : T kx  A}|. We have for   T

+
+Birkhoff's ergodic theorem and the ergodicity assumption imply that for almost

+
+=
+
+lim
+n
+
+1 n
+
+n
+(T k1A)(x) = �(A),
+
+k=1
+
+i.e., the density of (kn) equals �(A). Hence, by the Wiener�Wintner theorem, see
+
+[61], for almost every x
+
+c()

+
+1 �(A)

+1 �(A)
+
+(P
+
+1A)(x)
+
+for all   T,
+
+k=1
+
+where P denotes the orthogonal projection onto ker( - T ). Thus for almost every x the spectrum of the return times sequence is at most countable. We suppose now
+
+that T is totally ergodic and show that (kn) is Wiener extremal. As in the proof
+
+of
+
+Proposition
+
+3.11,
+
+if
+
+limN 
+

+
+then
+
+
+
+is

+
+(i.e.,

+
+unity). But then total ergodicity implies that c() = 0 for  = 1, implying  = 1,
+
+and this shows that (kn) is Wiener extremal. Note that here total ergodicity cannot be replaced by ergodicity. Indeed, the rotation on two points is ergodic, but for A
+
+consisting of one point the return times sequence (kn) = 2N is not extremal.
+
+Example (Return time sequences along polynomials). Let (X, �, T ) be an invertible totally ergodic system, let T denote also its Koopman operator on L2(X, �) and let
+�(A) > 0. Take a polynomial P  Z[�] with deg(P )  2. We show that the return
+
+WIENER'S LEMMA ALONG SUBSEQUENCES
+
+13
+
+times sequence (kn) along P corresponding to {n  N : T P (n)x  A} is ergodic and hence Wiener extremal and extremal for almost every x. (That the sequence is Wiener extremal is also for true for linear polynomials, which can be easily deduced from the previous example.)
+
+We let A,x,P (n) := |{k  n : T P (k)x  A}| and compute for   T

+(5)

+
+where the last equality follows from a.e. convergence of polynomial averages by
+
+Bourgain [12, 13, 14], from the fact that the rational spectrum factor is characteris-
+
+tic for polynomial averages (see e.g. Einsiedler, Ward [18, Sec. 7.4]) and from total
+
+ergodicity.
+
+It is a further result of Bourgain that the limit
+
+lim
+n
+

+
+n
+(T P (k)1A)(x)k
+
+(6)
+
+k=1
+
+exists for each   T for a.e. x  X, see [24]. Since deg(P )  2, by the spectral theorem, by the equidistribution of polynomials with at least one irrational nonconstant coefficient and by total ergodicity, the limit in (6) for almost every x  X equals �(A) for  = 1 and 0 if  = 1. Combining this with (5) gives

+Example (Double return times sequences). Let (X, �, T ) be a weakly mixing system and let A, B  X be with �(A), �(B) > 0. We show that the double return times sequence (kn) corresponding to {n  N : T nx  A, T 2nx  B} is for almost every x ergodic and hence Wiener extremal and extremal.
+
+By Bourgain [15] the limit
+
+lim
+n
+
+1 n
+
+n
+(T k1A)(x)(T 2k1B)(x)
+
+k=1
+
+exists almost everywhere. Moreover, for weakly mixing systems the above limit equals �(A)�(B) a.e., see, e.g., [21, Theorem 9.29]. By Assani, Duncan, Moore [2, Theorem 2.3] (or by a product construction), for almost every x, the limit

+lim
+n
+
+1 n
+
+n
+(T k1A)(x)(T 2k1B)(x)n
+
+k=1
+
+exists for each   T and the Host�Kra factor Z2 is characteristic for such averages (meaning that only the projections of 1A and 1B onto this factor contribute to the limit). Since for weakly mixing systems all Host�Kra factors coincide with the fixed factor (see e.g. Kra [41, Sect. 6.1,7.3)]), the above limit equals �(A)�(B) for  = 1 and to zero otherwise. As before, this shows that the double return times sequence is ergodic for almost every x  X

+whereas limn |zkn - 1| = 0 is equivalent to z = 1. Thus, by Theorems 3.2 and 3.2, (kn) is extremal but not Wiener extremal. Note that an example of a Wiener extremal measure which is not Dirac is � given by �({1}) = �({-1}) = 1/2.
+
+We now go back to Wiener's lemma which in particular implies that a measure
+
+�
+
+is
+
+continuous
+
+if
+
+and
+
+only
+
+if
+
+limN

+|�(n)|2
+
+=
+
+0.
+
+This motivates the
+
+following natural question concerning a characterization another kind of extremality
+
+for subsequences.
+
+Question 3.12. For which subsequences (kn) of N and which continuous measures
+
+� on T does
+
+lim
+N 
+
+1 N
+
+N
+|�(kn)|2
+n=1
+
+=
+
+0
+
+(7)
+
+hold? For which sequences (kn) does (7) hold for every continuous measure? For
+
+which sequences (kn) does (7) characterize continuous measures �?
+
+Remark 3.13. Property (7) characterizes continuous measures for ergodic sequences by Proposition 2.5 (b).
+
+Note that by Theorem 2.9, for sequences which are good with at most countable spectrum, (7) holds for all finite continuous measures. The following two examples show however that even for such sequences (7) does not characterize continuous measures in general.
+
+Example. Consider (kn) with kn := 2n + 1, which is of course a good sequence with
+
+spectrum
+
+
+
+=
+
+{-1, 1}
+
+and
+
+c(-1)
+
+=
+
+-1.
+
+Let
+
+�
+
+=
+
+1 2
+
+(1
+
++
+
+-1).
+
+Then
+
+we
+
+obtain
+
+that
+
+lim
+N 
+
+1 N
+
+N
+
+|�(2n + 1)|2 = 0.
+
+n=1
+
+The following observation conjectures a connection between the two kinds of extremality.
+
+Remark 3.14. Consider the following assertions about a sequence (kn):
+
+(i)
+
+(kn)
+
+is
+
+Wiener
+
+extremal
+
+for
+
+discrete
+
+measures
+

+
+N n=1
+
+|�(kn
+
+)|2
+
+
+
+0
+
+as
+
+N   for each continuous measure �.
+
+(ii) (kn) is Wiener extremal.

+(iii)

+
+|�(kn

+
+
+
+1
+
+as
+
+N   for each continuous measure �.
+
+(iv) (kn) is Wiener extremal for discrete measures.
+
+Then we have the implications (i)  (ii)  (iii)  (iv). Moreover, for good
+
+sequences we have also (iv)  (ii), i.e., the last three statements are equivalent.
+
+Proof. (i)  (ii) follows immediately from the decomposition into the discrete and the continuous part and the triangle inequality (note that by the Koopman�von Neumann Lemma 2.1 we can remove the square in (i)), whereas the implications (ii) (iii)  (iv) are trivial. The last assertion is Theorem 3.2.
+
+We finally discuss connection to rigidity sequences. Recall that for   T a sequence (kn) is called a -rigidity sequence if there is a continuous probability measure � on T with �(kn)   as n  . Moreover, 1-rigidity sequences are called rigidity sequences. Note that, although for every   T, -rigid (along some subsequence) continuous measures are typical in the Baire category sense in all probability measures, see Nadkarni [50], to check whether a given sequence (kn) is rigid or -rigid is often a challenge. For more details on such sequences, their properties, examples and connections to ergodic and operator theory we refer to Nadkarni [50, Ch. 7], Eisner, Grivaux [23], Bergelson, del Junco, Leman�czyk, Rosenblatt, [10], Aaronson, Hosseini, Leman�czyk [1], Grivaux [36], Fayad, Kanigowski [27], and [20, Section 4.3].
+Theorem 2.9 (a) and Corollary 2.8 imply in particular a possibly unexpected necessary property of rigidity sequences.
+
+Proposition 3.15. (a) Suppose the sequence (kn) is such that there exists a continuous measure � on T with
+
+lim sup
+N 
+
+1 N
+
+N
+|�(kn)|2
+n=1
+
+>
+
+0.
+
+Then either (kn) is not good, or good with uncountable spectrum. (b) -rigidity sequences are not good.
+
+For a consequence for prime numbers, polynomials and polynomials of primes see Proposition 4.5 below.
+
+Example. The sequence (2n) is a rigidity sequence, see Eisner, Grivaux [23] and Bergelson, del Junco, Leman�czyk, Rosenblatt [10], and, as every lacunary sequence, is not good for the mean ergodic theorem, see Rosenblatt, Wierdl [56, Section II.3]. More examples are sequences satisfying kn|kn+1 or limn kn+1/kn = , although limn kn+1/kn = 1 is possible, for details see the two above mentioned papers, [10] and [23].
+
+4. Wiener's Lemma along polynomials and primes
+In this section we consider arithmetic sequences such as values of polynomials, primes and polynomials on primes, inspired by ergodic theorems along such sequences by Bourgain, Wierdl, and Nair, see [12, 13, 14, 60, 59, 52, 51]. Note that all these sequences have density zero (if the degree of the polynomial is greater or equal to two).

+
+The following lemma is classical, see Vinogradov [58], Hua [38], Rhin [54], and Rosenblatt, Wierdl [56, Section II.2]. We present here a quick way to derive it for polynomials of primes from a recent powerful result of Green and Tao [35, Prop. 10.2] on the orthogonality of the modified von Mangoldt function to nilsequences.
+
+Lemma 4.1. Let kn = P (n), n  N, or kn = P (pn), n  N, where P is an integer polynomial and pn denotes the nth prime. Then c() = 0 for every irrational   T
+(not a root of unity).
+
+Proof (for polynomials of primes). Let
+
+(n) := log n, 0,
+
+if n is prime, otherwise,
+
+let   N and let
+
+W = W :=
+
+p.
+
+p prime, p
+
+For r < W coprime to W consider the modified -function
+
+r, (n)
+
+:=
+
+(W W
+
+)
+
+(W
+
+n
+
++
+
+r),
+
+n  N,
+
+for the Euler totient function . Let now P be an integer polynomial and bn := (n)P (n). Since (P (n))nN can be represented as a Lipschitz nilsequence for a connected, simply connected Lie group, see Green, Tao, Ziegler [34, Appendix C], it follows from Green and Tao [35, Prop. 10.2], see [19, Lemma 3.2 (b), Cor. 2.2], that
+
+lim
+N 
+

+N
+
+bn
+
+=
+
+lim
+
+

+
+lim
+N 
+
+1 N
+
+N
+bW n+r
+
+n=1
+
+r 0 such that
+
+(kn)  aZ. Then (kn) is not R-extremal and hence not R-Wiener extremal even
+
+for
+
+discrete
+
+measures.
+
+Indeed,
+
+consider
+
+�
+
+:=
+
+1 2
+
+(1/a
+
++
+
+-1/a).
+
+Then
+
+�
+
+is
+
+not
+
+Dirac
+
+with
+
+�^(kn) =
+
+R
+
+e(kn)d�()
+
+=
+
+e(kn/a) + e(-kn/a) 2
+
+=
+
+1
+
+for all n  N.
+
+More generally, any measure  in conv{k/a : k  Z} provides a similar example.
+
+As a corollary, unlike the discrete case, polynomials with rationally dependent
+coefficients, primes or such polynomials of primes, though being good with count-
+able spectrum, are not R-extremal and hence not R-Wiener extremal. Note that for such sequences (kn) the periodic unitary group of translations on L2([0, a]) satisfies
+
+30
+
+CHRISTOPHE CUNY, TANJA EISNER, AND BA� LINT FARKAS
+
+T (an) = I for every n  Z and thus presents a counterexample to the continuous
+
+analogues of (ii) and (iii) in Proposition 5.4, Theorems 5.7, 5.9 and 5.10 and 1)�4)
+
+from the introduction.
+
+On the other hand, polynomials with rationally dependent non-constant coeffi-
+
+cients and rationally independent constant term are R-Wiener extremal and hence
+
+R-extremal. Indeed, without loss of generality let kn = P (n) + b for a polynomial
+
+P with coefficients from aZ and b being rationally independent from a. Since the
+
+spectrum of (kn) is countable, it suffices to show that c() = 1 implies  = 0 by a
+
+continuous analogue of Theorem 3.2. As in Section 4 one can prove that
+
+c()
+
+=
+
+e(b)
+
+lim
+N 
+
+1 N
+
+N
+
+e
+
+n=1

+a
+

+
+  
+
+1 q
+
+q r=1
+
+e(b)e( P
+
+(r)d aq
+
+),
+
+0,
+
+if
+
+a
+
+=
+
+d q
+
+
+
+Q,
+
+if a / Q.
+
+So that c() = 1 implies a = d/q  Q for some d  Z, q  N and (b + P (r))d  aZ for all r  {1, . . . , q}. Since a, b are rationally independent, d =  = 0. Analogously, for such polynomials P the sequence (P (pn)) (pn denoting the nth prime) is RWiener extremal and hence R-extremal, too.
+Consider finally P  R[�] with rationally independent non-constant coefficients. Then for kn := P (n), n  N, we have by Weyl's equidistribution theorem
+c() = 0 for all  = 0,
+i.e., (P (n)) is ergodic. Thus by Proposition 6.6 (c) (P (n)) is R-Wiener extremal and hence R-extremal. Moreover, a suitable modification of Lemma 4.1 using Weyl's equidistribution theorem for polynomials (and the fact that the product of finitely many nilsequences is again a nilsequence) shows that for such polynomials the sequence (P (pn)) is ergodic, and hence R-Wiener extremal.
+
+6.5. Orbits of C0-semigroups revisited. We thus have the following continuous parameter versions of the results from the introduction being the generalizations of the respective results of Goldstein [31] and Goldstein, Nagy [33]. (For the Jacobs�de Leeuw�Glicksberg decomposition for C0-semigroups with relatively compact orbits see, e.g., [20, Theorem I.1.20].)
+
+Theorem 6.7. Let (kn) be of the form (P (n)) or (P (pn)), where P  R[�] has either rationally independent non-constant coefficients, or rationally dependent nonconstant coefficients which are rationally independent from the constant coefficient, and we suppose that the leading coefficient of P is positive.
+(a) Let (T (t))t0 be a C0-semigroup of contractions with generator A on a Hilbert space H. Then for any x, y  H

+
+where Pa denotes the orthogonal projection onto ker(a - T ). Moreover,
+
+lim
+N 
+
+1 N
+
+N
+
+|(T (kn)x|x)|2 =
+
+x4
+
+n=1
+
+for x = 0 implies that x is an eigenvector of A with imaginary eigenvalue.
+
+WIENER'S LEMMA ALONG SUBSEQUENCES

+
+(b) Let E be a Banach space and (T (t))t0 be a bounded C0-semigroup on E with generator A. Then
+
+lim

+
+N
+
+| T (kn)x, x |2 = | x, x |2
+
+for every x  E
+
+n=1
+
+for x  E \ {0} with relatively compact orbit implies that x is an eigenvector of A with imaginary eigenvalue.
+
+For example, (a) and (b) in Theorem 6.7 fail for (n2) or (pn) but hold for (n2 + ) or (pn + 2).
+We finish with the following extremality property of primes being a continuous analogue of Corollary 5.6, with analogous proof.
+
+Theorem 6.8. Let a > 0 and b  R be rationally independent. Then for every C0semigroup (T (t))t0 on a Banach space E with generator A and every x  E \ {0},

+

+
+f or every x  E
+
+implies that x is an eigenvector of A with imaginary eigenvalue. As a consequence, limn T (apn + b) = I in the weak operator topology implies T (t) = I for every t  0.

+ABSTRACT We present an investigation of the supernova remnant (SNR) G306.3-0.9 using archival multi-wavelength data. The Suzaku spectra are well described by twocomponent thermal plasma models: The soft component is in ionization equilibrium and has a temperature 0.59 keV, while the hard component has temperature 3.2 keV and ionization time-scale 2.6 � 1010 cm-3 s. We clearly detected Fe K-shell line at energy of 6.5 keV from this remnant. The overabundances of Si, S, Ar, Ca, and Fe confirm that the X-ray emission has an ejecta origin. The centroid energy of the Fe-K line supports that G306.3-0.9 is a remnant of a Type Ia supernova (SN) rather than a core-collapse SN. The GeV gamma-ray emission from G306.3-0.9 and its surrounding were analyzed using about 6 years of Fermi data. We report about the non-detection of G306.3-0.9 and the detection of a new extended gamma-ray source in the southwest of G306.3-0.9 with a significance of 13. We discuss several scenarios for these results with the help of data from other wavebands to understand the SNR and its neighborhood.

+1 INTRODUCTION
+G306.3-0.9 is a new Galactic supernova remnant (SNR) that was detected at mid-IR wavelengths by Spitzer at 24 �m (Carey et al. 2009) and WISE at 22 �m (Wright et al. 2010). Reynolds et al. (2013) presented a study of Chandra, 24 �m Spitzer and the 5 GHz Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) data. The Chandra spectrum was described by a thermal plasma model (VNEI, VPSHOCK or Sedov) with the absorption column density NH  (1.94-1.96)�1022 cm-2. In their spectral fitting, the ionization time-scale shows that the plasma is approaching ionization equilibrium,  in the range of (0.89-2.5)�1012 s cm-3.
+Recently, Combi et al. (2016) studied the northeast, central, and southwest part of the G306.3-0.9 using XMMNewton and Chandra data. They found that the X-ray spectra were well represented by two absorbed VAPEC and VNEI thermal plasma models with the absorption column density NH  (1.40-1.57)�1022 cm-2. They also found enhanced abundances of Si, S, Ar, Ca, and Fe in the VNEI component, indicating that the X-ray emission has an ejecta

+
+origin. The other thermal component is associated with the swept-up interstellar medium (ISM).
+Using the high-resolution Chandra data, Reynolds et al. (2013) and Combi et al. (2016) concluded that G306.3-0.9 has a semi-circular and asymmetric X-ray morphology. The X-ray emission of the southern region shows semi-circular brightened structure, while the northern emission is very weak. The image of the southern region is also consistent with radio and IR observation. Reynolds et al. (2013) and Combi et al. (2016) discussed the progenitor of this remnant and favored a Type Ia supernova (SN) rather than a corecollapse (CC) SN.
+In the 1st SNR Catalog of the Large Area Telescope (LAT) on board Fermi Gamma Ray Space Telescope (Acero et al. 2016), G306.3-0.9 was mentioned in the `SNRs Not Detected by the LAT' table (Table 3). However, another nearby extended source, `G306.3-00.8', was reported among the `Other Detected Sources', which are not classified as SNRs. It was detected with a significance of 9 and the best-fitting location was found as R.A.(J2000) = 199.33 � 0.07stat � 0.17sys and decl.(J2000) = -62.96 � 0.07stat � 0.21sys. The extension (radius of a disk) of this source was measured as 0.53 � 0.07stat � 0.07sys. The spectrum was fit to a power-law (PL) that yielded a photon flux and a
+
+2 A.Sezer, T.Ergin and R.Yamazaki
+photon index of (7.77 � 0.94) � 10-9 ph cm-2 s-1 and  = 2.56 � 0.18stat � 0.1sys, respectively. When Acero et al. (2016) tested two alternative IEMs (the interstellar emission model, which accounts for gamma rays produced by cosmic ray (CR) interactions with interstellar gas and radiation fields in the Milky Way) for `G306.3-00.8', they found out that the source had an extended gamma-ray morphology for one of the tested IEMs, and was a point-like source (was not extended) for the other IEM.
+The nearby gamma-ray source 3FGL J1317.6-6315 is a pulsar candidate classified by two different statistical pulsar classification methods (i.e. BLR: Boosted Logistic Regression & RF: Random Forest) in Saz Parkinson et al. (2016). The location of the source given in the 3rd Fermi Source Catalog (3FGL) is R.A.(J2000) = 199.403 and decl.(J2000) = -63.259 and its detection significance is about 13.5 (Acero et al. 2015). Another significant gamma-ray source close to G306.3-0.9 is the HESS unidentified object, HESS J1303-631 (Aharonian et al. 2005; H.E.S.S. Collaboration 2011), which is interpreted as physically related to the pulsar PSR J1301-6305. It is assumed that the electrons radiatively cool as they propagate away from the pulsar, such that the highest-energy gamma rays are found close to the pulsar and the lower-energy particles are mainly in the extended nebula. X-ray observations revealed a pulsar wind nebula (PWN) around PSR J1301-6305 extending asymmetrically roughly towards the gamma-ray source. The most recent sensitivity profile derived from the H.E.S.S. Galactic Plane Survey (Donath et al. 2016) shows that the sensitivity ranges between 1 and 2 per cent of the Crab Nebula, which corresponds to about 1�10-11 erg s-1 cm-2 in 1-10 TeV, but the point-like source significance map shows no TeV gamma-ray excess at or around the location of G306.3-0.9.
+In this paper, we investigate the X-ray spectral properties and the explosion type of G306.3-0.9 based on a 190 ks Suzaku observation. We also analyzed 6-years of FermiLAT data and interpreted the results with the help of multiwavelength data. This paper is organized as follows: The Xray and gamma-ray spectral analyses are described in Section 2. The results are discussed in Section 3. Summary and Conclusions are given in Section 4.

+
+2 ANALYSIS
+2.1 X-ray Observation and Data Reduction
+We used an archival Suzaku data (Obs ID. 509072010). The observation was performed by the X-ray Imaging Spectrometer (XIS; Koyama et al. 2007) on 2014 August 20 for an exposure time of 190 ks. The XIS instrument consists of four X-ray CCD cameras on the focal planes of the X-Ray Telescope (XRT; Serlemitsos et al. 2007). The XIS0, 2 and 3 cameras have front-illuminated (FI) CCDs, whereas the XIS1 is back-illuminated (BI). XIS0, XIS1, and XIS3 were available in this observation.
+Data reduction and analysis were made with HEADAS software version 6.16 and xspec version 12.9.0 (Arnaud 1996) with AtomDB 3.0.3 (Smith et al. 2001; Foster et al. 2012). The 5�5 and 3�3 editing mode event files were combined using xis5�5to3�3 and xselect version 2.4b. The redistribution matrix file (RMF) and the ancillary response
+
+file (ARF) for the spectral analyses are generated by the xisrmfgen and xissimarfgen tools, respectively (Ishisaki et al. 2007).
+2.2 X-ray Spectral Analysis
+Figure 1 shows XIS image of G306.3-0.9 in the 0.3-10.0 keV energy band. In order to characterize the emission, we extracted spectra from two circular regions centered at the source location with radii of 1.0 arcmin (central region) and 2.5 arcmin (the whole SNR), and from an annulus region (the rim region). These regions are shown by the solid circles in the upper panel of Figure 1. For comparison, the radio data (J.A. Combi, private communication) at 843 MHz taken from the MOST Supernova Remnant Catalog (Whiteoak & Green 1996) are overlaid. The background spectra were extracted from a source free region in the same field of view (FoV), which is shown as the dashed area in the lower panel of Figure 1 excluding the calibration regions.

+
+2.2.1 Background Estimation
+For G306.3-0.9, the background emission contains the non-X-ray background (NXB), cosmic X-ray background (CXB) and Galactic ridge X-ray emission (GRXE). The NXB for the source and the background spectra were extracted from the night-earth data using xisnxbgen (Tawa et al. 2008). The NXB was subtracted from the source and the background data. We fitted the NXB-subtracted background spectrum with a model of Abs1�power-law + Abs2�(apec+apec), where the apec is a collisional ionization equilibrium (CIE) plasma model in the xspec. In this fitting, an absorbed two-temperature apec component represents the GRXE emission, while an absorbed power-law model represents the CXB emission. To define the CXB emission, we assumed a power-law shape with a photon index of 1.4, and a surface brightness of 5.4 � 10-15 erg s-1 cm-2 arcmin-2 in the 2-10 keV band (Kushino et al. 2002). Next, we simulated the background spectra using the fakeit command in xspec and subtracted it from the source spectra. All spectra were grouped with a minimum of 30 counts bin-1.
+
+2.2.2 Spectral Fitting
+We first fit the spectra of the whole region with an absorbed (TBABS: Wilms, Allen & McCray 2000) singlecomponent variable-abundance non-equilibrium ionization (NEI) plasma model (VNEI model with NEI version 3.0 in xspec). In this fitting the absorbtion (NH), electron temperature (kTe), and ionization parameter ( =net) are free parameters, where ne and t are the electron density and elapsed time following shock-heating. The abundances of Si, S, Ar, Ca, and Fe are free parameters, while the other abundances were fixed to the solar abundance (Wilms, Allen & McCray 2000). This model gave a large reduced 2 of 3.28 (dof=1975) with large residuals 1.20-1.23 keV and 6.5 keV. We refit the spectra with Ne and Mg abundances varied. The fit improved but it was still not statistically accept-
+
+able (reduced 2=2.8). Because the one-component plasma model failed to reproduce the Fe-K line (6.5 keV) profile and the fit gave a large reduced chi-squared value, we fitted the spectra with a two-component thermal plasma model, in CIE (VAPEC model in xspec) and VNEI model. The abundances of Si, S, Ar, Ca and Fe for the VNEI component are free parameters. We also allowed the abundances of Ne and Mg to vary freely. We found the abundances of Ne and Mg are near solar values. Therefore, we fixed them to the solar value. For CIE component, the electron temperature and normalization are free parameters, while the abundances of all elements are fixed to the solar values assuming that the emission is from the shocked ISM. This fit leaves a large residual 1.2 keV that comes from the uncertainty of the Fe L-shell data in the VNEI code. Thus we also added a narrow Gaussian emission line at 1.2 keV. This additional Gaussian line component does not affect the best-fit values for all other model parameters. The fit was improved to be 2 = 1.18 (dof=1966). We also fitted the spectra extracted from the centre and the rim regions with an absorbed VAPEC and VNEI model. The best-fitting parameters are summarized in Table 1, and the background-subtracted XIS spectra are shown in Figure 2.
+2.3 Gamma-ray Analysis
+To search for a gamma-ray emission in the GeV energy range, we analyzed the gamma-ray data of Fermi-LAT for the time period of 2008-08-04 - 2016-03-23. In this paper we used the Fermi analysis toolkit fermipy1.
+Using gtselect of Fermi Science Tools (FST), we selected the Fermi-LAT Pass 8 `Source' class and front+back type events coming from zenith angles smaller than 90 and from a circular region of interest (ROI) with a radius of 20 centred at the SNR's radio position. The maximum likelihood fitting method (Mattox et al. 1996) was employed on the spatially and spectrally binned data using the P8R2-SOURCE-V6 version of the instrument response function. After the maximum likelihood fitting between 200 MeV and 300 GeV, the detection significance value is calculated, which is roughly the square root of the test statistics (TS) value and larger TS values indicate that the null hypothesis (maximum likelihood value for a model without an additional source) is incorrect.
+The model of the analysis region contains the diffuse background sources and all the point-like and extended sources from the 3rd Fermi-LAT Source Catalog (Acero et al. 2015) located within a square region with side 15 centred on the ROI centre. All parameters of the diffuse Galactic emission (gll-iem-v6.fits) and the isotropic component (iso-P8R2-SOURCE-V6-v06.txt) were freed. We also freed all sources with TS > 10 and fixed all sources with TS < 10.
+The TS map created using this model showed gammaray excess extending toward the south-west of G306.3-0.9. To understand if this excess was related to the SNR, we added this SNR as a point-like source with a PL-type spectral shape into the background model, since there was no gamma-ray source corresponding to G306.3-0.9 in the 3rd

+Fermi-LAT Source Catalog (Acero et al. 2015). After creating a new TS map, including where G306.3-0.9 in the background model, south-west of the SNR position still showed a significant amount of gamma-ray excess spread across a wide area. To account for this extended gamma-ray excess, we added a new point-like source with a PL-type spectral shape into the model, which we called `SourceA' and found its best-fitting position. However, introducing SourceA into the background model could not remove the excess of gamma rays in the south-west of G306.3-0.9, which were distributed in a region encircled by the significance contours of 5. Finally, we tested different models of extension (Radial Gaussian and Disk) for SourceA having a PL-type spectrum. The results of these analyses are summarized in Section 3.2.
+3 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
+3.1 SNR Origin
+Previous X-ray studies of G306.3-0.9 suggested a Type Ia progenitor for this remnant (Reynolds et al. 2013; Combi et al. 2016). Using Suzaku XIS data, we investigated the explosive origin of G306.3-0.9. For this investigation, we consider the abundance pattern and the centroid of the FeK line of the remnant. To compare our data with the SN explosion models, we calculated the abundance ratios of S, Ar, Ca, and Fe relative to Si. Table 2 shows a comparison of our best-fitting relative abundances with the results from the CC models (Woosley & Weaver 1995) for various progenitor masses and Type Ia models (Nomoto et al. 1997; Badenes et al. 2003). We also give the abundance ratios of S/Si, Ar/Si and Ca/Si from Chandra/XMM-Newton data (Combi et al. 2016) in Table 2.
+The abundance ratios of S/Si, Ar/Si and Ca/Si of Suzaku and Chandra/XMM-Newton data are consistent with
+
+12M CC model as seen Table 2. But our abundance ratio of Fe/Si is significantly higher than that of the 12M CC model. This ratio is consistent with the CC model with the progenitor mass of 11M and W7 model. All four ratios are consistent with one or more of the four Type Ia models. However, none of Type Ia models agrees with more than two ratios. None of the ratios is consistent with the 15M CC model. Therefore, by looking at the results on Table 2, neither Type Ia nor CC SN models are conclusive for G306.3-0.9. However, the CC SN of a 15M progenitor is ruled out for the origin of G306.3-0.9.
+Recently, Yamaguchi et al. (2014) systematically searched for Fe-K emission from Galactic and LMC SNRs using Suzaku data. They concluded that the centroid energy of the Fe-K emission and the ionization state of Fe are a powerful tool for distinguishing progenitor types. They found that Fe-K centroid energies are below 6.55 keV for Type Ia SNRs and the Fe-K emission of Type Ia SNRs is significantly less ionized than in CC-SNRs. Combi et al. (2016) obtained the centroid of the Fe-K line in the central region of the SNR and estimated a centroid of 6.52�0.01 keV. They concluded that this value consistent with a Type Ia origin. In order to estimate the centroid energy of an Fe-K, we fitted the 5.0-8.0 keV spectra with a PL and a Gaussian. We estimated the centroid energy of Fe-K for each region and listed them in Table 1. The centroid energy of Fe-K is supportive of the Type Ia SN origin.
+3.2 Gamma-ray Results
+We found no excess gamma-ray emission from the direction of G306.3-0.9, where the upper limit at 95 per cent confidence level (CL) on the photon flux and energy flux was found to be 1.3 � 10-8 photons cm-2 s-1 and 5.3 � 10-6 MeV cm-2 s-1, respectively.

On both panels, Suzaku X-ray counts (50, 200, 500) are shown in yellow color, white lines show the CO intensity contours of 12.5 (dashed), 30 (solid), 55 (solid), 78 (solid), 101 (solid) K km s-1, and the red circle and red cross represent the extension and best-fit location of SourceA, respectively. Fermi-LAT sources are shown in magenta color. Right Panel: Both G306.3-0.9 and SourceA are included in the background model. The black contours on the left panel and green contours on the right panel are for the gamma-ray TS values (25, 30, 40, 45, 49).
+
+A new gamma-ray source was detected at the south-
+west of the G306.3-0.9 position, which we designate as
+`SourceA' in this analysis. Assuming that it is a point-like
+source, the TS value of 94 was found and the best-fitting location of this source was found as R.A.(J2000) = 199.47 � 0.07stat and decl.(J2000) = -63.93 � 0.07stat using the
+localize method of FST. This new source has an offset from the radio location of the SNR by an amount of 0.575. At the
+best-fitting location, we found the spectral index to be  =
+2.7 � 0.1 for the PL-type spectrum. The total photon flux and energy flux of SourceA is (1.43 � 0.27) � 10-8 photons cm-2 s-1 and (8.10 � 1.08) � 10-6 MeV cm-2 s-1,
+respectively, for the point-like source model with PL-type
+spectrum.
+
+We used two extension models for the gamma-ray emission morphology of SourceA: Disk and Radial Gaussian models, where the centres of these extension models were kept at the best-fitting location of SourceA. To detect the extension of a source, we used the TS of the extension (TSext) parameter, which is the likelihood ratio comparing the likelihood for being a point-like source (Lpt) to a likelihood for an existing extension (Lext), TSext = 2log(Lext/Lpt). We tabulated the `Extension Width', which is the 68% containment radius of the extension model (R68), and the corresponding TSext values of these fits in Table 3.

+obtained  = 2.1 and the total photon flux and energy flux of SourceA was found to be (1.9 � 0.2) � 10-8 photons cm-2 s-1 and (2.07 � 0.2) � 10-5 MeV cm-2 s-1, respectively. These results found for SourceA are in agreement with the ones that were given for G306.3-0.8 in the 1st Fermi-LAT SNR Catalog (Acero et al. 2016). The TS map shown on the Right Panel of Figure 3 was obtained after applying the Disk like extension model to SourceA and adding SourceA to the background model. The spectral energy distribution (SED) of SourceA with a Disk extension and PL-type spectrum is shown in Figure 4.
+The upper limit at 95 per cent CL on the energy flux of G306.3-0.9 was found to be 2.7 � 10-6 MeV cm-2 s-1 adding SourceA as a point-like source with a PL-type spectrum and 3.1 � 10-6 MeV cm-2 s-1 adding SourceA as an extended source with a PL-type spectrum.
+3.3 Gamma-ray Variability and Pulsation
+To see the long term variability in the light curve of SourceA, we apply Fermi-LAT aperture photometry taking data from the circular region of 0.2 around the best-fitting position of SourceA. Figure 5 shows the 1-month binned light curve, where we checked for possible variations in the flux levels. In Figure 5 most of the flux data points remain within the 1 and 3 bands. One of the flux data points with large error bars is above 3, could be due to the contamination by the nearby pulsar 3FGL J1317.6-6315. Therefore, by looking at 0. 2 around the best-fitting location of SourceA we conclude that SourceA shows no variability including pulsations in gamma rays.
+
+3.4 The Molecular Environment
+To investigate the molecular environment around G306.3-0.9 and SourceA, we used the carbon monoxide (CO) data collected by the Harvard-Smithsonian CfA 1.2 m Millimeter-Wave Telescope from the fourth quadrant (DHT36)2 with a 0. 25 beam sampling (Bronfman et al. 1989).
+We checked the velocity integrated CO intensity (WCO) in the whole velocity range integrated from -70 to +40 km s-1, where the velocity intervals are divided such that each range includes at least one cloud cluster peaking in temperature at a certain velocity. Figure 6 shows the WCO maps produced at different velocity ranges of [-70,-50], [-50,-35], [-35,-10] km s-1 from bottom right to left and [-10,0], [0,15], [15,40] km s-1 from top right to left. The white contours represent the TS values of SourceA gamma-ray data at 25, 30, 40, and 45, and yellow contours are the X-ray counts at 50, 200 and 500. The color scale for WCO is set to the same range for all plots, which is between 0.0 and 76.2 K km s-1, with the WCO values peaking in the velocity range of [-50,-35] km s-1. Calculating the distance for this velocity range, we obtain a distance range of 3-6 kpc. The distance of the clouds that coincide with SourceA are in the velocity range of [-35,-10] km s-1, where the distance range calculated is 1-9 kpc. The distance range found here is consistent with other measurements (Reynolds et al. 2013; Combi et al. 2016), but it is not much constraining. So, we will use the distance to the SNR as 8 kpc assuming that the SNR lies at a fiducial distance of the Galactic center.
+The total WCO value found for the regions overlapping with SourceA and G306.3-0.9 is about 44 and 3 K km s-1, respectively. Using the CO-to-H2 conversion factor of X = 1.8 � 1020 cm-2 K-1 km s-1 (Dame, Hartmann & Thaddeus 2001), we found N(H2) = 0.8 � 1022 cm-2 for SourceA and N(H2) = 0.5 � 1021 cm-2 for G306.3-0.9.

+
+ing molecular clouds (MCs): First model is the `interacting cloud model'(Aharonian, Drury & Volk 1994; Inoue et al. 2012), where gamma rays are produced through the interaction of accelerated hadrons like protons with the molecular material of the MC producing neutral-pions, which then decay into gamma rays. In the second scenario, the `illuminated cloud scenario'(Yamazaki et al. 2006; Gabici, Aharonian & Casanova 2009; Ohira, Murase & Yamazaki 2011), cosmic rays (CRs) escape from the SNR and diffuse into the nearby dense MCs producing gamma rays through the neutral-pion decay.
+The best evidence for the interacting cloud scenario, is to detect maser emission at the location of the SNR interacting with MCs. There are no masers reported at the locations of G306.3-0.9 and SourceA indicating an interaction with the MCs. By assuming a spherical geometry of the cloud, we computed the average density of protons to be 3 protons cm-3 14 protons cm-3 for G306.3-0.9 and SourceA, respectively. These derived proton densities are much lower in comparison to the densities derived for other SNRs, such as 3C 391 and G349.7+0.2 (Ergin et al. 2014, 2015), that are interacting with MCs.
+However, although CO is the most widely used proxy to track down molecular gas in the Galaxy, not all portions of an MC containing H2 also contain CO. New data from ESA's Herschel Space Observatory (Herschel) (Pineda et al. 2013) confirmed this estimation by showing that almost one third of all molecular gas in the Milky Way had remained undetected. Herschel's survey has established the three-dimensional distribution of the molecular gas across the Milky Way using a different tracer (ionized carbon (C+)) for H2. The densest MC cores of the ISM, where most of the molecular gas resides, contain both H2 and CO, but their immediate surroundings might be influenced by ultraviolet radiation from nearby stars, where H2 and C+ are found to coexist. `CO-dark' molecular gas is named for regions of H2
+
+mixed with CO that can not be traced by CO emission. The Herschel data showed that CO-dark H2 accounts for about 30 per cent of the Milky Way's entire reservoir of molecular gas (Pineda et al. 2013).
+Assuming there is a dense gas cloud at the location of SourceA, we can interpret the results such that the CRs escaping from G306.3-0.9 reaching the dense MC at the location of SourceA, causing the emission of gamma rays (the illuminated cloud scenario). SourceA has a radius of extension of 0. 72 and the angular distance between the radio location of G306.3-0.9 and best-fitting location of SourceA is 0. 576, which corresponds to a physical distance of 81 pc considering an 8 kpc distance to the SNR and assuming that SourceA is also at the same distance as the SNR. Gabici, Aharonian & Casanova (2009) has shown in their Figure 5 left-most panel, the gamma-ray energy flux emitted from an MC of mass 105 solar masses and at a distance of 1 kpc for the case, where the distance between the SNR and MC is about 50 pc. Using the dotted line, which refers to the emission at a time 2000 years after the SN explosion, we calculated the expected gamma-ray energy flux emitted for 1 kpc of distance, which is about 3 � 10-6 MeV cm-2 s-1 and 3 � 10-7 MeV cm-2 s-1 for 10 and 100 GeV, respectively. After correcting for the distance of 8 kpc, these values become 4 � 10-8 MeV cm-2 s-1 and 4 � 10-9 MeV cm-2 s-1 for 10 and 100 GeV, respectively. If the distance to SourceA is about 1 kpc, the SED data point at 10 GeV of SourceA shown in Figure 4 is comparable to the expected gamma-ray energy flux from the illuminated clouds. If the distance of SourceA is the assumed 8 kpc, comparing the estimated gamma-ray energy flux values of the illuminated clouds with the measured SED data points of SourceA shown in Figure 4, we can conclude that the estimated gamma-ray energy flux values are lower than the measured ones. So, there might be a source of gamma rays other than the illuminated clouds

+4 SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
+In this work, we examined the elemental abundances, ionization state of plasma and the explosive origin of G306.3-0.9 using Suzaku observation and investigated the gamma-ray emission from G306.3-0.9 and its neighborhood using the Fermi-LAT data. Our main conclusions can be summarized as follows:
+(i) We found that the thermal X-ray emission from G306.3-0.9 consists of two kTe plasmas. The overabundances of Si, S, Ar, Ca and Fe in the hot temperature component confirm the ejecta-dominated nature of G306.3-0.9. The low-temperature component is associated with an ISM material. The regional spectral analysis shows that kTe, abundances, and  of the NEI component are generally highest for the Whole spectrum, compared to the mean values found for the Center and the Rim. For example, abundances of Si and Fe are significantly higher for the Whole SNR than those for the Center and the Rim, which could be a result of systematic uncertainties. These systematic errors do not affect the conclusions drawn in this paper.
+(ii) We clearly detected the Fe-K line emission in the ejecta component of this remnant. Its centroid energy is supportive of the Type Ia SN origin.
+(iii) We compared the results of our spectral fit to the predicted abundances from CC (Woosley & Weaver 1995) and Type Ia SN (Nomoto et al. 1997; Badenes et al. 2003) models. The results show that neither Type Ia nor CC SN of 11M and 12M progenitors is conclusively favored for G306.3-0.9, while the CC SN of a 15M progenitor is ruled out.
+(iv) G306.3-0.9 is not detected in gamma-rays. X-ray observations of G306.3-0.9 revealed that the SNR is formed in a supernova explosion of Type Ia and there is no compact object. Additionally, synchrotron emission from a PWN or X-ray filaments in the shell of the SNR was not observed. So, we do not expect to see gamma-ray emission from G306.3-0.9 that could be produced by electrons accelerated at the forward shock through the relativistic bremsstrahlung or inverse Compton scattering processes. The alternative way of producing gamma rays would be through the hadronic process, where accelerated hadrons interact with the background gas and subsequently produce gamma rays from the neutral pion decay. If G306.3-0.9 were in a dense molecular cloud region, we might have been able to detect hadronic gamma rays.
+(v) A new extended gamma-ray source was located in the south-west of G306.3-0.9, which we called `SourceA' in our paper. The best-fitting location of R.A.(J2000) = 199.47 � 0.07stat and decl.(J2000) = -63.93 � 0.07stat and the extension parameters, as well as the spectral parameters found for SourceA shows that this source is probably `G306.3-00.8' reported in the 1st Fermi-LAT SNR Catalog (Acero et al. 2016).
+(vi) No variations or pulsations were detected in the gamma-ray light curve of SourceA by looking at 0.2 around the best-fitting location of the SNR, eliminating scenarios
+
+with variable source types, such as pulsars or binary systems.
+(vii) SourceA might be an independent source of G306.3-0.9. Due to the low molecular gas density at the location of SourceA, a significant contribution of the hadronic gamma-ray emission is not expected. All five pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe) detected by Fermi-LAT (Crab Nebula (Abdo et al. 2010a), Vela X (Abdo et al. 2010b), MSH 15-52 (Abdo et al. 2010c), 3C 58 (Abdo et al. 2013b), HESS J1640-465 (Slane et al. 2010)) have nearly flat spectrum at the GeV energy range. The observed spectrum of SourceA shown in Figure 4 is generally consistent with that of a PWN. However, the H.E.S.S. Galactic Plane Survey (Donath et al. 2016) has not reported a detection from the direction of SourceA at a sensitivity level of 1-2 per cent of the Crab Nebula, which corresponds to about 6.2 � 10-6 MeV cm-2 s-1. Tanaka et al. (2013) showed the properties and the TeV detectability of the non-TeV PWNe. SourceA could be a member of this group of PWNe, but there are no observations in other wave-bands, especially in radio and X-rays, at the location of SourceA so far, which could give some clues on the nature of this mysterious object.

+
+1 Introduction and preliminaries
+The term difference equation refers to a specific type of recurrence relation � a mathematical relationship expressing xn as some combination of xi with i < n. These equations usually appear as discrete mathematical models of many biological and environmental phenomena such as population growth and predatorprey interactions (see, e.g., [8] and [18]), and so these equations are studied
+
+1
+
+because of their rich and complex dynamics. Recently, the problem of finding
+
+closed-form solutions of rational difference equations and systems of rational of
+
+difference equations have gained considerable interest from many mathemati-
+
+cians. In fact, countless papers have been published previously focusing on the
+
+aforementioned topic, see for example [5, 6, 7, 16, 20] and [21]. Interestingly,
+
+some of the solution forms of these equations are even expressible in terms of
+
+well-known integer sequences such as the Fibonacci numbers, Horadam numbers
+
+and Padovan numbers (see, e.g., [9, 11, 12, 14, 22, 24, 25, 26, 27, 29, 34]).
+
+It is well-known that linear recurrences with constant coefficients, such as
+
+the recurrence relation Fn+1 = Fn + Fn-1 defining the Fibonacci numbers, can be solved through various techniques (see, e.g., [17]). Finding the closed-
+
+form solutions of nonlinear types of difference equations, however, are far more
+
+interesting and challenging compared to those of linear types. In fact, as far
+
+as we know, there has no known general method to deal with different classes
+
+of difference equations solvable in closed-forms. Nevertheless, numerous studies
+
+have recently dealt with finding appropriate techniques in solving closed-form
+
+solutions of some systems of difference equations (see, e.g., [2, 5, 6, 7, 15, 23]).
+
+Motivated by these aforementioned works, we investigate the rational differ-
+
+ence equation
+
+xn+1
+
+=
+
+xn-1 +   xn xn-1
+
+,
+
+n  N0, .
+
+(1)
+
+Particularly, we seek to find its closed-form solution and examine the global
+
+stability of its positive solutions. We establish the solution form of equation
+
+(1) using appropriate transformation reducing the equation into a linear type
+
+difference equation. Also, we examine the solution form of the two-dimensional
+
+analogue of equation (1) given in the following more general form
+
+xn+1
+
+=
+
+xn-1 +   yn xn-1
+
+,
+
+yn+1
+
+=
+
+yn-1 +   xn yn-1
+
+,
+
+n  N0.
+
+(2)
+
+The case  =  =  = 1 has been studied by Tollu, Yazlik and Taskara in [34]. The authors in [34] established the solution form of system (2) (in the case  =  =  = 1) through induction principle.
+The paper is organized as follows. In the next section (Section 2), we review some definitions and important results necessary for the success of our study, and this includes a brief discussion about generalized Padovan numbers. In section 3 and 4, we established the respective solution forms of equations (1) and the system (2), and examine their respective stability properties. Finally, we end our paper with a short summary in Section 5.
+
+2 Preliminaries
+2.1 Linearized stability of an equation
+Let I be an interval of real numbers and let F : Ik+1 - I
+
+2
+
+be a continuously differentiable function. Consider the difference equation
+
+xn+1 = F (xn, xn-1, . . . , xn-k)
+
+(3)
+
+with initial values x0, x-1, . . . x-k  I..
+
+Definition 1. A point x  I is called an equilibrium point of equation(3) if
+
+x = F (x, x, . . . , x).
+
+Definition 2. Let x be an equilibrium point of equation(3).
+
+i) The equilibrium x is called locally stable if for every  > 0, there exist  > 0 such that for allx-k, x-k+1, . . . x0  I with
+
+|x-k - x| + |x-k+1 - x| + . . . + |x0 - x| < ,
+
+we have |xn - x| < , for all n  -k.
+
+ii) The equilibrium x is called locally asymptotically stable if it is locally stable, and if there exists  > 0 such that if x-1, x0  I and
+
+|x-k - x| + |x-k+1 - x| + . . . + |x0 - x| < ,
+
+then
+
+lim
+n+
+
+xn

+
+x.
+
+iii) The equilibrium x is called global attractor if for all x-k, x-k+1, . . . x0  I, we have
+
+lim
+n+
+
+xn
+
+=
+
+x.
+
+iv) The equilibrium x is called global asymptotically stable if it is locally stable and a global attractor.
+
+v) The equilibrium x is called unstable if it is not stable.

+
+x),
+
+i = 0, 1, . . . , k.
+
+Then,
+
+the
+
+equation
+
+yn+1 = p0yn + p1yn-1 + . . . + pkyn-k,
+
+(4)
+
+is called the linearized equation of equation (3) about the equilibrium point x.
+
+The next result, which was given by Clark [3], provides a sufficient condition for the locally asymptotically stability of equation (3).
+
+Theorem 1 ([3]). Consider the difference equation (4). Let pi  R, then,
+
+|p0| + |p1| + . . . + |pk| < 1
+
+is a sufficient condition for the locally asymptotically stability of equation (3).

+
+Let f and g be two continuously differentiable functions:
+
+f : I2 � J 2 - I, g : I2 � J 2 - J, I, J  R
+
+and for n  N0, consider the system of difference equations
+
+xn+1 = f (xn, xn-1, yn, yn-1) yn+1 = g (xn, xn-1, yn, yn-1)
+
+(5)
+
+where (x-1, x0)  I2 and (y-1, y0)  J 2. Define the map H : I2 �J 2 - I2 �J 2 by
+H(W ) = (f0(W ), f1(W ), g0(W ), g1(W ))
+where W = (u0, u1, v0, v1)T , f0(W ) = f (W ), f1(W ) = u0, g0(W ) = g(W ), g1(W ) = v0. Let Wn = [xn, xn-1, yn, yn-1]T . Then, we can easily see that system (5) is equivalent to the following system written in vector form
+
+Wn+1 = H(Wn), n = 0, 1, . . . ,
+
+(6)
+
+that is
+
+

+Definition 3 (Equilibrium point). An equilibrium point (x, y)  I �J of system (5) is a solution of the system
+
+x = f (x, x, y, y) , y = g (x, x, y, y) .
+
+Furthermore, an equilibrium point W  I2 � J2 of system (6) is a solution of the system
+W = H(W ).
+
+Definition 4 (Stability). Let W be an equilibrium point of system (6) and . be any norm (e.g. the Euclidean norm).
+
+1. The equilibrium point W is called stable (or locally stable) if for every  > 0 exist  such that W0 - W <  implies Wn - W <  for n  0.
+2. The equilibrium point W is called asymptotically stable (or locally asymptotically stable) if it is stable and there exist  > 0 such that W0-W <  implies Wn - W  0, n  +.
+
+3. The equilibrium point W is said to be global attractor (respectively global attractor with basin of attraction a set G  I2 � J2, if for every W0 (respectively for every W0  G)
+
+Wn - W  0, n  +.
+
+4
+
+4. The equilibrium point W is called globally asymptotically stable (respectively globally asymptotically stable relative to G) if it is asymptotically stable, and if for every W0 (respectively for every W0  G),
+Wn - W  0, n  +.
+5. The equilibrium point W is called unstable if it is not stable.
+Remark 1. Clearly, (x, y)  I � J is an equilibrium point for system (5) if and only if W = (x, x, , y, y, )  I2 � J2 is an equilibrium point of system (6).
+From here on, by the stability of the equilibrium points of system (5), we mean the stability of the corresponding equilibrium points of the equivalent system (6).

+2.3 Generalized Padovan sequence
+The integer sequence defined by the recurrence relation
+
+Pn+1 = Pn-1 + Pn-2, n  N,
+
+(7)
+
+with the initial conditions P-2 = 0, P-1 = 0, P0 = 1 (so P0 = P1 = P2 = 1), is known as the Padovan numbers and was named after Richard Padovan. This is the same recurrence relation as for the Perrin sequence, but with different initial conditions (P0 = 3, P1 = 0, P2 = 2). The first few terms of the recurrence sequence are 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 12, . . .. The Binet's formula for this recurrence sequence can easily be obtained and is given by

+3 Closed-Form solutions and stability of equation (1)
+For the rest of our discussion we assume Sn, the n-th generalized Padovan number, to satisfy the recurrence equation
+Sn+1 = pSn-1 + qSn-2, n  N0,
+with initial conditions S-2 = 0, S-1 = 0, S0 = 1.
+
+3.1 Closed-Form solutions of equation (1)
+
+In this section, we derive the solution form of equation (1) through an analytical
+
+approach.
+
+We
+
+put
+
+q
+
+=
+
+ 
+
+and
+
+p
+
+=
+
+ 
+
+,
+
+hence
+
+we
+
+have
+
+the
+
+equation
+
+xn+1
+
+=
+
+pxn-1 + xnxn-1
+
+q
+
+;
+
+n  N0.
+
+(9)
+
+Consider the equivalent form of equation (9) given by
+
+xn+1
+
+=
+
+p xn
+
++
+
+q xn xn-1
+
+which, upon the change of variable xn+1 = zn+1/zn, transforms into
+
+zn+1 = pzn-1 + qzn-2.
+
+(10)
+
+Now, we iterate the right hand side of equation (10) as follows
+
+zn+1 = pzn-1 + qzn-2 = qzn-2 + p2zn-3 + qpzn-4 = p2zn-3 + 2pqzn-4 + q2zn-5 = 2pqzn-4 + (p3 + q2)zn-5 + qp2zn-6 = (p3 + q2)zn-5 + 3p2qzn-6 + 2pq2zn-7 = 3p2qzn-6 + (p4 + 3pq2)zn-7 + (p3 + q3)zn-8 = (p4 + 3pq2)zn-7 + (q3 + 4qp3)zn-8 + 3p2q2zn-9 ...
+= Sn+1z0 + Sn+2z-1 + Snqz-2.
+
+6
+
+Hence,
+
+xn+1
+
+=
+
+zn+1 zn
+
+=
+
+Sn+1z0 + Sn+2z-1 + Snqz-2 Snz0 + Sn+1z-1 + Sn-1qz-2.
+

+
++ Sn+1
+
++
+
+Sn-1 q
+
+z-2 z-1
+
+=
+
+Sn+1x0
+
++
+
+Sn+2
+
++
+

+
+Sn x0

+
+=
+
+Sn+1 x0 x-1 Snx0x-1 +
+
++ Sn+2x-1 Sn+1x-1 +
+
++ Snq Sn-1q
+
+.
+
+The above computations prove the following result.
+
+Theorem 2. Let {xn}n-1 be a solution of (9). Then, for n = 1, 2, . . . ,
+
+xn
+
+=
+
+Sn+1x-1 + Snx0x-1 Snx-1 + Sn-1x0x-1
+
++ +
+
+qSn-1 qSn-2
+
+.
+
+(11)
+
+where the initial conditions x-1, x0  R - F , with F is the Forbidden Set of equation (9) given by
+
+
+
+F=
+
+(x-1, x0) : Snx-1 + Sn-1x0x-1 + qSn-2 = 0 .
+
+n=-1
+
+If  =  = , then from (11) we get
+
+xn
+
+=
+
+Pn+1x-1 Pnx-1 +
+
++ Pnx0x-1 Pn-1 x0 x-1
+
++ +
+
+qPn-1 qPn-2
+
+.
+
+Hence, for  =  =  we have Sn = Pn, n  N, and consequently we get the solution given in [34].
+
+3.2 Global stability of solutions of equation (1)
+
+In this section we study the global stability character of the solutions of equation
+(9). It is easy to show that eqrefeq1 has a unique positive equilibrium point given by x = . Let I = (0, +), and consider the function f : I2 - I defined by
+
+f (x,
+
+y)
+
+=
+
+py + xy
+
+q
+
+.
+
+Theorem 3. The equilibrium point x is locally asymptotically stable.
+
+Proof. The linearized equation of equation (9) about the equilibrium x is
+
+yn+1 = t1yn + t2yn-1
+
+7
+
+where
+
+t1
+
+=
+
+f x

+-
+

+

+
+=
+
+- R6
+
++
+
+6qR pR2 + 12p2
+
++
+
+48p3 R2
+
+and the characteristic polynomial is
+
+2 + t1 + t2 = 0.
+
+Consider the two functions defined by
+
+a() = 2, b() = -(t1 + t2).
+
+We have Then
+
+pR2 + 12p2 + 12qR
+
+R6

++
+
+12p2
+
++
+
+48p3 R2
+
+< 1.
+
+|b()| < |a()| ,  : || = 1
+
+Thus, by Rouche's theorem, all zeros of P () = a() - b() = 0 lie in || < 1. So, by Theorem (1) we get that x is locally asymptotically stable.
+
+Theorem 4. The equilibrium point x is globally asymptotically stable.
+
+Proof. Let {xn}n-k be a solution of equation (9). By Theorem (3) we need only to prove that E is global attractor, that is

+
+4.1 Closed-form solutions of system (2)
+
+In this section, we derive the respective solution form of system (2). We put

+(13)
+
+The following theorem describes the form of the solutions of system (13).
+
+Theorem 5. Let {xn, yn}n-1 be a solution of (13). Then for n = 1, 2, . . . ,

+
+if n is even, if n is odd,
+
+(15)
+
+where the initial conditions x-1, x0, y-1 and y0  R \ (F1  F2), with F1 and F2 are the forbidden sets of equation (9) given by
+
+
+
+F1 =
+
+(x-1, x0, y-1, y0) : Snx-1 + Sn-1y0x-1 + qSn-2 = 0 ,
+

+
+and

+
+
+F2 =
+
+(x-1, x0, y-1, y0) : Sny-1 + Sn-1x0y-1 + qSn-2 = 0 .
+
+n=-1
+
+Proof. The closed-form solution of (13) can be established through a similar approach we used in proving the one-dimensional case. However, for convenience, we shall prove the theorem by induction. For the basis step, we have
+
+x1

+
+y1

+Abstract. A partial password is a mode of password-based authentication that is widely used, especially in the financial sector. It is based on a challenge-response protocol, where at each login attempt, a challenge requesting characters from randomly selected positions of a pre-shared secret is presented to the user. This mode could be seen as a "cheap way" of preventing for example a malware or a keylogger installed on a user's device to learn the full password in a single step. Despite of the widespread adoption of this mechanism, especially by many UK banks, there is limited material in the open literature. Questions like how the security of the scheme varies with the sampling method employed to form the challenges or what are the existing server-side implementations are left unaddressed. In this paper, we study questions like how the security of this mechanism varies in relation to the number of challenge-response pairs available to an attacker under different ways of generating challenges. In addition, we discuss possible server-side implementations as (unofficially) listed in different online forums by information security experts. To the best of our knowledge there is no formal academic literature in this direction and one of the aims of this paper is to motivate other researchers to study this topic.

+1 Introduction
+The design of a secure and efficient user authentication scheme is one of the major concerns for most enterprises and organizations. A significant amount of money, time and effort are invested every year to carry out research in this direction. According to Cybersecurity Ventures, the U.S Government has invested more than $50 million over the past four years in Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) techniques, aiming to improve a simple password-based authentication scheme [7]. Additionally, many academic studies in the past studied extensively the security and usability of password-based authentication techniques [1,3,9,13,14].
+Despite the fact that several methods of authentication, such as hardware tokens, biometrics, mouse and keyboard keystroke analytics, have been developed in the past few years, a simple password-based scheme is still the primary mean of authentication for many online services. This is mainly due to the fact that password-based authentication is a cheap, efficient and secure (at least in theory) method of authenticating users. As shown in [1], designing other than simple password-based authentication scheme might be a very complex task mostly due to the fact that not only the best security engineering practices, e.g., usability and privacy have to be applied, but also the human factor has to be taken into consideration.
+The security of password-based systems relies on the user to choose a strong enough password. If this password is not complex enough, then brute-force or dictionary attacks could potentially breach the security of a system [3]. Bruteforce attacks assume that the distribution of human-chosen passwords is uniform which is not a practical assumption, as human tend to select passwords based on patterns or structures arising from their natural language. Relatively recent research has revealed that this curve (of user-selected passwords) is skewed and more sound mathematical metrics for the security against guessing attacks using large dictionaries are presented in [4,5].
+In addition to the above-mentioned human factor, more sophisticated attacks using, e.g., malware could be performed. These types of attacks predominantly exploit various phishing campaigns convincing either directly or by other means like social engineering approaches the potential victim to unintentionally install malicious software on the target computing device. Upon infection, the victim's machine is completely controlled by the attacker who can easily obtain user's passwords in a singe step.
+Researchers have realized this problem, therefore other identification methods in an attempt to mitigate single-step disclosure of shared-secret by introducing time-varying challenges have been proposed [14,11]. The partial password scheme is an example of such method where authentication takes place in the form of challenge-response pairs, with the challenge requesting a set of characters chosen randomly from a pre-shared password. It is considered as a very cheap and effective method against several attacks that could otherwise compromise a shared-secret in a single step. It is claimed to be more secure than the simple password implementation due to the fact that the size of the responses' space grows in a combinatorial way, depending on the implementation. For example,
+
+for a password of length n and a partial-password implementation requesting m
+
+characters out of n, the number of possible responses is
+
+n m
+
+if no repetitions are
+
+allowed and nm if repetitions are allowed.
+
+Partial password method is widely deployed in the Banking Sector espe-
+
+cially in UK as a part of (at least) 2-factor authentication method [2,16] for
+
+authenticating users in Internet Banking. It decreases the probability of suc-
+
+cess of malware-based attacks since the fraudster cannot really provide to their
+
+Command-and-Control (CC) server the full password in a single step. Even
+
+though, the fraudsters can sometimes bypass this mechanism by exploiting the
+
+weakest link, the human, using HTML injections to modify the page presented
+
+to the user and request the full password, this scenario is out of the scope of this
+
+paper.
+
+In general, all type of attacks applied to the simple password implemen-
+
+tations, apply also to partial-password implementation schemes. The only dif-
+
+ference is that the attacker requires more data to launch a successful attack,
+
+i.e., intersepting more times the authentication handshake in order to either re-
+
+construct the full password or get enough data to respond correctly to a new
+
+challenge with an overwhelming probability. Thus, we have three main type of
+
+attacks applied also to partial-password implementations, as follows:
+
+1. Brute Force: An attacker uses a computer program or a script that produces all possible password combinations using a fixed alphabet. Then, the attacker tries each password, one by one, until authentication is successful.
+2. Dictionary Attack: An attacker uses a program or script to try to authenticate by cycling through combinations of common words or using dictionaries based on information related to passwords obtained from compromised servers.
+3. Key Logger: An attacker uses a program to track all of a user's keystrokes.
+
+Outline of Contributions: Our motivation is to investigate some open questions [2], such as how security of the partial password scheme varies if challenges are generated using a different method, e.g., allowing the same positions to be requested in the same challenge and how information about user's responses only could be used to speed-up dictionary attacks. The later scenario is close to the scenario of a hardware-keylogger or to a scenario where the malware has limited capabilities in terms of intercepting also the challenge presented to the end-user. Considering the fact that half of online users access their banking account at least twice a week [12], there is sufficient information exposed that could be used to launch succesfful attacks.
+In addition, we discuss possible server-side partial password implementations as (unofficially) indicated by several information security experts in different online forums [15,17]. Unfortunately, there is no formal academic literature in this direction and we aim to motivate other researchers to work in this direction, as partial password implementations are deployed by several major banks in their Internet Banking [2].
+This paper is organised as follows. In section 2 related studies are discussed. Section 3 presents the partial password implementations. Section 4 discusses the
+
+security of partial password implementations under different attack scenarios and settings. Finally, section 5 concludes the paper and gives future research directions in the field.
+2 Related Studies
+In this section we present related studies that fall into partial password mode of authentication. For example, we describe hardware keyloggers attack scenarios in which an attacker has data related to the responses but nothing related to the associated challenges.
+Hardware Keyloggers: A paper by Goring et al. [8] studies the case of a hardware keylogger attack, where the attacker can obtain responses but not challenges. However, their method is limited to a very particular case where whenever authentication fails, the server presents again the same challenge to the user. This potentially allows the attacker to construct challenge-response pairs by just repeating the authentication process. In this paper, we further investigate this attack model and we study how we can use data obtained in a keylogger setting combined with large-dictionaries of user-selected passwords in order to speed up dictionary attacks.
+Partial Password Schemes: Another paper by Aspinall et al. [2] studies the security of a particular partial password implementation, where the positions requested in the challenges are chosen uniformly at random without replacement. Furthermore, they study how the security of the system is related to the number of challenge-response pairs that the attacker has obtained (defined in [2] as recording attacks). In order to speed-up their attacks they applied frequency analysis of letters of user-selected passwords, as appearing in the RockYou dataset [6]. In this paper, we study a more generic scheme in which the challenges are chosen uniformly at random and repetitions of positions is allowed. This is claimed to be a more complex scenario and left as future work in [2] and this is the major contribution of this paper.
+3 Partial Password Implementation
+3.1 Protocol Description
+A partial password is a challenge on a subset of characters from a full password. The overall protocol consist of two phases which could be described as follows [2]:
+A. Registration Phase: The user selects a password p = p0p1...pL of a desired length and usually on a restricted alphabet.
+B. Login Phase: The authentication phase is based on the following challengeresponse protocol.
+1. Challenge: The server selects a subset of m integers i1, i2, ..., im from the set {0, 1, 2, .., L} and presents the challenge (i1, i2, ..., im) to the user.

+
+2. Response: The response will be of the form (a1, a2, ..., am). The user passes this step only if aj = pij for all 1  j  m.
+If the user's response is not correct, then either the same or a fresh challenge is presented, while on a subsequent login trial a fresh challenge is generated in case of a previous successful authentication. The scenario where the same challenge is presented to the user was studied in [8].
+In addition, Aspinall and Just studied the security of the scheme when the integers i1, i2, ..., im are chosen uniformly at random but without replacement [2], while the scenario of repetitions allowed is left as open question as it is considered more complex. One of the major contributions of this paper is that we study also this scenario.
+
+3.2 Server-side Implementations
+In classical password implementations only the hash of the password is enough to be stored on the server. Finding a message for a given hash value (or two different messages with the same hash value) for secure cryptographic hash functions is considered computationally hard, thus even an adversary with unrestricted access to the hash values cannot deduce the password from the hashes, if a secure cryptographic hash functions is employed, such as SHA-256.
+However, in partial password schemes, a new level of complexity in both storage and validation of the shared-secret on the server side is introduced. It is not enough anymore to store the hash of the full password and hence standard password hashing schemes do not apply. Instead one has to either store the password in a plaintext, or the hashes of different combinations of each password [15,17]. For the latter solution, it is not trivial to store the hashes of all the combinations of variable length passwords. Possibly, this is the reason why most banks are restricting both the length and the alphabet of the user passwords and only request for up to 4 (maximum) different characters in their partial-password implementation schemes [2].
+To the best of our knowledge, there is no formal academic literature discussing the problem of server-side implementation of partial password authentication mechanisms. We would like to motivate academic research in this direction as those schemes are widely deployed by major banks around the globe. Based on our research findings by searching several online security related forums we have indicated that possible implementations deployed in industry might be as follows [15,17]:
+
+1. The password is stored in plaintext [15]. This imposes a significant risk from
+
+a security point of view as an administrator is likely to have a direct access to
+
+the password in plaintext form. Furthermore, if the database is compromised
+
+then an adversary has access to all plaintext passwords. This solution might
+
+be also not complied with policies requiring hashed or encrypted password
+
+storage.
+
+2. The hashes of all possible combinations of letters are stored per password per
+
+user [15,17]. In a general case, where there are not many constraints applied
+
+on a password, this solution might lead to significant database issues in terms
+
+of required storage space. However survey conducted in [2] showed that many
+
+banking online systems, that are based on the partial password mode of
+
+authentication, impose more or less rigorous restrictions on the length of the
+
+password and the size of a character set. In extreme cases password could be
+
+restricted to a size of only four characters allowing a character set of size 10
+
+(PIN case [2]). By applying such restrictions, database storage issues become
+
+less demanding and thus this extensive hashing method is more applicable
+
+in practice. Under this setting, for a password of length n and a partial
+

+
+bits of information per user, if a l-bit

+
+hash function is employed, e.g., l=256 for SHA-256.
+
+Another practical implementation that one can think of is the following:
+
+3. The password could be stored on the server in an encrypted form with a use of some symmetric-key scheme, like AES. In this case, to mitigate any practical key management issues, keys could be managed by a tamper-resistant hardware, i.e., Hardware Security Module (HSM) or a separate authentication server with employed appropriate access control systems in order to avoid unauthorized users to access the cryptographic key. This would provide a black-box interface for encryption and substring verification such that when the password characters are passed to the application they are fed into the HSM or the authentication server along with the encrypted password. The HSM could then decrypt the password and confirm (or reject) the validity of the provided characters. However, the drawback of this method is that during authentication, the full password is decrypted and under certain circumstances leakage of this fully decrypted password could occur.
+
+Considering the survey conducted in [2], there are surprisingly many tight constraints imposed on passwords used in partial password schemes, i.e., the size of acceptable alphabet and length of the password are relatively small, as well as the number of requested characters in the challenges. In the case of Internet Banking authentication, most banks request a password within a given range and restricted to a given alphabet, usually the alphanumeric of size 36 or numeric of size 10 characters (PIN).
+
+4 Security Analysis
+In this section we focus on questions like how many challenge-response pairs are sufficient to reconstruct the shared-secret and how many are needed in order to guess correctly the next challenge in a partial password protocol with sufficiently high probability.
+We essentially study the following three attack scenarios:
+� Recording Attacks: A malware or a keylogger installed on the user's device is recording several (challenge,response) pairs which are sent to the fraudster's server. The main goal of the fraudster is to reconstruct the password.
+� Next-Challenge Attacks: Same setting as in recording attacks but in this scenario the attacker would like to know the success rate of providing the correct response given some pairs.
+� Attacks With Unknown Challenges: The attacker runs a dictionary attack and for some reason has only a set of responses, without necessarily knowing the corresponding positions. The idea is to examine if such limited information could benefit a lot a dictionary attack. Since human-selected password distribution is known to be skewed [4,5] this could be seen as another confirmation of this empirical result.
+
+In order to tackle the scenario where the positions in the challenge could repeat in the same challenge, we resemble the definition of a multiset (cf. Definition 1).
+
+Definition 1. A multiset is a 2-tuple (A, m) where A is some set and m : A  N a function from A to the set N.
+
+The number of multisets of cardinality k, with elements taken from a finite set
+
+of cardinality n, is called the multiset coefficient. This number is denoted by
+
+n k
+
+and is given by
+
+n+k-1 k
+
+.
+
+4.1 Recording Attacks
+Suppose that the user has agreed on a password P = p0...pL of length L + 1 with pi  A, 1  i  L, where A the pre-defined alphabet. We have evaluated the security of partial password implementation in two different scenarios.
+1. Scenario A (Without Replacement): The challenge is of the form (i1, i2, ..., im) with 0  ij  L, for all 1  j  m and ik = ik for all 1  k , k  m.
+2. Scenario B (With Replacement): The challenge is of the form (i1, i2, ..., im) with 0  ij  L, for all 1  j  m.
+Consider the case where malware, installed on the user computing device, is capturing the responses of the user before the HTTP POST being encrypted with SSL and sends these responses to the Command-and-Control server. Then, the threat scenario is that after sufficient data the attacker would be able either to reconstruct the full password or have a sufficiently high probability to response correctly to fresh challenges. The security analysis of both scenarios is based on Theorem 1.
+Theorem 1. Let X the number of different positions of the password that the malware posses after capturing k challenge-response pairs. The probability pk(X = i), that the malware knows exactly i out of the total L + 1 positions is given by Equation 1 and 2 for Scenario A and B respectively,

+

+
+Proof. If at step k - 1, the malware obtained i - j distinct indices and the aim is exactly i by having another pair, this implies we need to select exactly j from the n - (i - j) unseen ones and select the rest m - j depending on the scenario. For scenario A, we choose m - j out of the already known i - j indices, while for B we choose m - j from i indices, allowing repetitions.
+Figure 1 presents how probability varies against the number of challengeresponse pairs. As we observe, in case of L + 1 = 8 and m = 3, an attacker can reconstruct the password with probability higher that 70% after recording 7 pairs in Scenario A and 11 for Scenario B. For L + 1 = 12 and m = 3, 14 pairs are needed in Scenario A while 17 for Scenario B for a success probability 75%.
+
+4.2 Next-Challenge Attack
+
+Another question of significant interest is the probability to respond correctly to
+a new challenge given k pairs. Denote these probabilities as pAk+1 and pBk+1 for Scenario A and B respectively. Then, we have the following:
+
+i
+
+i
+
+pAk+1(i) =
+
+m n
+
+,
+
+pBk+1(i) =
+
+m n
+
+.
+
+(3)
+
+m
+

+
+After k runs, if the attacker knows i positions, the expected number of pairs learned is given by EkA and EkB respectively,
+

+
+n
+
+EkA = pk(X = i) � pAk+1(i), EkB = pk(X = i) � pBk+1(i).
+
+(4)
+
+i=m
+
+i=1
+
+In Figure 2 we observe that an attacker has probability higher than 75% to correctly reply to the next challenge, by having 8 pairs in Scenario A or equivalently 9 pairs in Scenario B, for L + 1 = 10 and m = 3. Thus, security of both schemes is similar for average passwords regarding guessing the next challenge.
+
+4.3 Attacks With Unknown Challenges
+In this section, we study the scenario where an attacker has obtained some information regarding user's responses, but has no knowledge to which challenge they correspond. This is similar to the hardware keyloggers scenario as mentioned by Goring et al in [8]. We call this scenario as the "attacks with unknown challenges" scenario.
+We have experimentally demonstrated that in case of a dictionary attack if information available from keyloggers is used, then we have a significant reduction in the dictionary size, ending up with a reduced number of candidates. This confirms even more the claim that the probability distribution of human-selected passwords is skewed [4,5]. This is due to the fact that even with having a set of characters randomly selected from a word, we can limit down tremendously
+
+the number of possible candidates in a dictionary attack. In our experiments, we used as a dictionary the well-studied RockYou dataset and results are presented in Table 1.
+Denoting by SP the set of available characters corresponding to a target password P (i.e., for P = "password" SP = {p, a, s, w, o, r, d}), we have performed the following three experiments:
+1. Experiment A: SP and two characters' positions of the password are known.
+2. Experiment B: SP and the length of the password are known 3. Experiment C: SP , the length of the password and two characters' posi-
+tions are known.
+The algorithm we employed to filter down possible password candidates is described in Algorithm 2. Note that R is a parameter which is used in order to search for passwords which are close to the length of password x up to a desired margin. In our case we study the scenario R = 1, i.e targeting passwords of known length. Table 1 presents some of the results of our experiments.

+Table 1. The number of possible password candidates.
+
+From Table 1 we can observe that by knowing the set of distinct characters we can speed up the dictionary attack tremendously. This is expected to happen since humans tend to select words from their natural language and thus the distribution of possible n-grams follow a certain distribution. In our future work we plan to study how the number of possible candidates varies with R, i.e., the attacker posses a fraction of the password's characters. This would be complex to implement and study.
+
+5 Conclusion
+Partial passwords is a mode of authentication which is widely deployed by the industry and especially in UK banking sector [2]. It was proposed as a countermeasure against attacks that could reveal a shared secret in a single step [14,11]. It is a challenge-response protocol, where the challenge is of the form, "What are the characters of your password at positions 1,5 and 9 ? ".
+In this paper, we extend the work of Aspinall et al. [2], and study some of the open questions stated in the same paper. We investigate and compare the security of several partial password implementations in which the elements in the challenges are generated uniformly at random but without replacement against the one where the replacements are allowed. The latter cases seems to be more secure, especially for attackers aiming to fully reconstruct the password. They also benefit from simpler implementation since we don't need to check if the next positions in the challenge were already asked.
+Finally, we study the scenario where the attacker has access to responses but not challenges and whether this information is valuable to dictionary-type attacks. We have experimentally demonstrated that such information can tremendously reduce the number of potential password candidates from a given dictionary and this confirms again the claim that the probability distribution of human-chosen secrets is skewed [4,5].
+Further Work: There are several areas that we would like to investigate in more details. We would like to extend the hardware keylogger attack to other scenarios like having a percentage, p, of characters from the password, how this p affects the number of possible candidates from the dictionary. In addition, we plan to explore the usability of partial passwords which is still not studied despite the wide practical adoption of such mechanisms [10].

+Electron Acceleration Mechanisms in Thunderstorms
+S. Celestin LPC2E, University of Orleans, CNRS, Orleans, France
+Thunderstorms produce strong electric fields over regions on the order of kilometer. The corresponding electric potential differences are on the order of 100 MV. Secondary cosmic rays reaching these regions may be significantly accelerated and even amplified in relativistic runaway avalanche processes. These phenomena lead to enhancements of the high-energy background radiation observed by detectors on the ground and on board aircraft. Moreover, intense submillisecond gammaray bursts named terrestrial gamma-ray flashes (TGFs) produced in thunderstorms are detected from low Earth orbit satellites. When passing through the atmosphere, these gamma-rays are recognized to produce secondary relativistic electrons and positrons rapidly trapped in the geomagnetic field and injected into the near-Earth space environment. In the present work, we attempt to give an overview of the current state of research on high-energy phenomena associated with thunderstorms.
+
+I. INTRODUCTION
+A. High-Energy Radiation Bursts
+Terrestrial gamma-ray flashes (TGFs) are bursts of high-energy photons originating from the Earth's atmosphere in association with thunderstorm activity. TGFs were serendipitously discovered in the 1990s by the instrument BATSE on board the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory (CGRO), which had been originally launched to perform observations of celestial gamma-ray sources [1]. Later on, the detection of these events has been reported using the Reuven Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager (RHESSI) satellite [2], the Astrorivelatore Gamma a Immagini Leggero (AGILE) satellite [3], and the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope [4]. An illustration of a TGF is given in Figure 1. A few events closely resembling TGFs have also been detected from the ground [5�8] and from an aircraft [9].
+Moreover, measurements have correlated TGFs with initial development stages of normal polarity intracloud lightning that transports negative charges
+
+upward (+IC) [10�14]. Recently, studies focusing on observation and theory of radio emissions believed to be associated with the acceleration processes of electrons producing TGF have provided a new insight in this phenomenon (e.g., see [15�18]).
+X-ray and gamma-ray bursts have also been recently observed during natural and rocket-triggered lightning discharges usually from the ground (e.g., [19�27]) but also using airborne detectors [28]. The energy of photons measured in lightning-produced Xray bursts are typically lower than that in TGFs.
+B. Enhancement of Background Radiation by Thunderstorms
+In addition to radiation bursts, another type of high-energy emission has been observed inside thunderstorms using detectors on board balloons [29, 30] and airplanes (e.g., [31�33]). These events, so-called gamma-ray glows, correspond to significant enhancements of background radiation that last for more than a few seconds up until a lightning discharge occurs and presumably depletes the charges responsible for the large-scale electric field present in the thunderstorm, which abruptly terminates the gamma-ray glow event. In fact, gamma-ray glows are often observed over a time corresponding to the duration of the presence of the detector in the active region, which is limited by the speed of the aircraft [33]. Similar emissions have been measured from ground-based detectors (e.g., [34�39]) and are usually referred to as Thunderstorm Ground Enhancements.

+II. PHENOMENOLOGY OF HIGH-ENERGY EVENTS ASSOCIATED WITH THUNDERSTORMS
+A. Terrestrial Gamma-ray Flashes
+The TGF energy spectrum observed by satellites extend from 10 keV to >40 MeV and is typical of bremsstrahlung produced by high-energy electrons accelerated in the atmosphere and colliding with atomic nuclei of air molecules [41]. TGFs duration is shorter than one millisecond [42�46] (for comparison gammaray bursts of cosmic origin (GRBs) have a duration of several seconds or more). When observed from low Earth orbit satellites (500 km altitude), they have a typical fluence slightly weaker than 1 photon/cm2 [e.g., 4].
+TGFs occur in correlation with lightning discharges inside thunderclouds. Remarkably, they are associated with the most common type of lightning discharges, i.e., intracloud lightning [e.g., 14, and references therein], occurring in what appears to be common thunderclouds [e.g., 47, 48]. The TGF source altitude determined from radio emissions typically ranges between 10 and 14 km [49], which is in agreement with the expected spectrum of bremsstrahlung photons produced in this altitude range and transported through the atmosphere up to satellite altitude [e.g., 50, 51]. The global TGF occurrence rate is estimated to be 400,000 per year concerning TGFs detectable by Fermi-GBM (Gamma ray Burst Monitor) [52], but detailed analysis of satellite measurements [53] and theoretical studies [54] suggest that it cannot be excluded that TGFs represent the visible part of a ubiquitous process taking place during the propagation of all lightning discharges.
+
+secondary processes accompanying the transport of gamma-rays through the atmosphere. These particles are capable of escaping into space. These events are usually referred to as terrestrial electron beams (TEBs) and represent an unforeseen and not yet quantified source of high-energy electrons and positrons in the Earths radiation belts [55, 56]. They result from the fact that high-energy photons propagating in air are subjected to mainly three collisional processes, which all produce secondary electrons: Photoelectric absorption (main process for energies up to 30 keV), Compton scattering (main process between 30 keV and 30 MeV), and electron-positron pair production (main process >30 MeV).
+C. Gamma-Ray Glows
+Gamma-ray glows associated with thunderstorms are becoming outstandingly interesting, as they are now believed to occur frequently. Indeed, Kelley et al. [33] estimate that a conservative 8% of electrified storms produce glows. Although fluxes of photons in glows are much lower than those in TGFs, energy spectra are similar [33]. Astoundingly, there is now evidence that glows may be of importance to the thundercloud charging mechanisms itself [33].
+D. Radiation Dose
+Dwyer et al. [57] have calculated that aircraft passengers finding themselves in an electron beam producing a TGF such as those observed from low-orbit might receive significant radiation doses. Moreover, given the energy of single photons in these events, TGFs are believed to produce neutrons through photonuclear reactions during their transport through the atmosphere [58, 59]. Tavani et al. [60] concluded that TGF-produced neutrons would cause serious hazard on the aircraft electronic equipment. The risk is limited by the fact that pilots try to avoid thunderstorms for other reasons. However, changing routes is not always possible and this is illustrated by the fact that aircraft are regularly hit by lightning discharges. Therefore, a careful risk assessment should be done, especially concerning the cumulated doses received by aircrews.
+
+B. Electron and Positron Beams Associated with TGFs
+

+A remarkable phenomenon associated with TGFs, which was predicted and observed by Dwyer et al. [55], consists in the production of a great number of high-energy electrons and positrons produced by

+
+exciting way to probe thunderstorms. Indeed, Schellart et al. [71] have studied the intensity and polarization patterns of air showers using the radio telescope LOFAR and deduced one integrated component of the large-scale field inside the thunderstorms.
+
+III. ACCELERATION OF ELECTRONS IN DENSE MEDIA
+A. Dynamic Friction Force
+Large scale electric fields (hundreds of meters to kilometers) are usually produced in thunderstorms with amplitudes typically lower than or reaching 2N/N0 kV/cm (e.g., [61]), where N is the local air density and N0 is the air density at ground level. Free electrons are accelerated under the corresponding electric force, however, because of the high density of the atmosphere at these altitudes (cloud tops altitudes are limited by the tropopause, i.e., 10�15 km) electrons are usually rapidly slowed down by the collisions with air molecules. From the knowledge of the collisional cross sections and the corresponding energy loss, the dynamic friction (or equivalently the stopping power) of electrons can be calculated. Figure 2 shows the friction experienced by electrons in units of energy per meter calculated in the atmosphere at ground level (see [62�64] for more technical details on the calculation of the friction presented in Figure 2).
+The complexity of the lower energy part of the friction is caused by the intricacies of inelastic collisional processes between electrons and nitrogen or oxygen molecules while the high-energy part matches very well the Bethe formula with a mean excitation potential estimated for air (e.g., see [62]). Since different dedicated models and theories are used in both energy regimes, the seamless representation of electron
+
+collisions in air between low- and high-energy ranges is not trivial. It has been the focus of a recent effort, which has proven fruitful in the present field of research [64�68].
+B. Relativistic and Thermal Runaway Electrons
+Because of the amplitude of the dynamic friction in air and its strong increase with the electron energy for energies <100 eV, usually, electrons cannot reach high-energy regimes and are quickly thermalized. However, Figure 2 shows that under an electric field with an amplitude greater than 2.1 N/N0 kV/cm, high-energy electrons (e.g., secondary cosmic rays) experience an electric force greater than the dynamic friction force. Since they are continuously accelerating and hence separating from the thermal electrons in terms of energy as well as in the configuration space, these electrons are referred to as runaway electrons. In fact, mostly due to elastic scattering, the runaway threshold electric field is more precisely Erun 2.8N/N0 kV/cm in air at ground level [e.g., 40]. In some occasions, these amplitudes have been observed in thunderstorms [61].
+While most of ionizing collisions produced by runaway electrons result in low-energy secondary electrons that are not runaway electrons, there is a probability that a secondary runaway electron be produced. This situation occurs if the electric field extends over a region that is larger than the corresponding mean free path of such an ionizing collision. This avalanche mechanism was proposed by Gurevich et al. [69] and is now termed relativistic runaway electron avalanche (RREA) (see [40, and references therein]).
+However, one can see in Figure 2 that there is a maximum in the dynamic friction and hence, for extremely strong electric field (>260 N/N0 kV/cm), thermal electrons can accelerate to high-energy regime [70]. This process is usually named "thermal runaway" [63]. It is worth noting that such high fields are on the order of ten times the conventional breakdown field (field for which the ionization rate equals the electron attachment rate) and because of the strong ionization they would produce, and the corresponding increase of the local conductivity, they cannot be applied locally for durations longer than one nanosecond [65]. However, filamentary discharges named streamers might be able to sustain these high electric field in a dynamic fashion for longer durations [63, 65].
+C. Production of Gamma-Rays
+As they are deflected by nuclei of air molecules, electrons produce X- and gamma-rays through bremsstrahlung process. It has been theoretically
+
+eConf C16-09-04.3
+
+4
+
+XXV European Cosmic Ray Symposium, Turin, Sept. 4-9 2016
+
+shown that RREAs in large-scale homogeneous electric fields exhibit a robust characteristic exponential high-energy cutoff (7 MeV) in the electron energy distribution function [e.g., 40, 66, 72]. This signature is also present in the associated bremsstrahlung spectra. This property weakly depends on the production altitude and the magnitude of the large-scale homogeneous electric field that sustains the RREA [50, 73].
+Indeed, average TGF and gamma-ray glow spectra are very well reproduced by RREA-based models [33, 50]. However, the fluence of TGFs is believed to be too high to be produced by RREAs seeded by natural background radiation or extensive cosmic-ray air showers alone, and as a consequence, relativistic feedback mechanisms have been introduced [e.g., 74, 77]. If the ambient field is sufficiently strong, exotic largescale discharges driven by relativistic particles have been predicted to be produced in thunderstorms using numerical models [75].
+D. Theoretical Effort
+X-ray burst produced by cloud-to-ground lightning discharges and observed from the ground are understood to root from the production of thermal runaway electrons [22], probably caused by the extreme electric fields in streamer discharges during impulsive events occurring in the propagation of negative lightning leaders [65]. Once thermal runaway electrons are produced, they can accelerate further in the electric field produced in the vicinity of the lightning leader tip and gain part of the potential drop in the acceleration region [54, 67].
+Gamma-ray glows have similar energy spectra as TGFs [33]. For this reason, they are believed to be produced by RREAs as well. It seems likely that secondary cosmic rays are accelerated and sometimes even amplified in RREAs in thunderstorms to produce gamma-ray glows. Indeed, fluxes and energy spectra of Thunderstorm Ground Enhancements have been be well-explained by these processes acting on secondary cosmic ray background [39]. Moreover, electrons producing gamma-ray glows also produce significant quantities of ions and Kelley et al. [33] have estimated the corresponding ion current. They conclude that, in the glow region, this current is on average comparable with other discharging mechanisms such as lightning and precipitations [33]. This emphasizes the role of secondary cosmic rays in charging mechanisms of thunderstorms.
+Although there seems to be a broad consensus about the physical processes at play in the production of Xray bursts from lightning discharges and gamma-ray glows, two main theories are usually recognized to be able to explain the occurrence of TGFs in the literature: (1) the direct production of thermal runaway electrons by an ascending lightning leader at the mo-
+
+ment of an impulsive event during its propagation and their further amplification in RREAs developing in the leader-produced field [51, 54, 63, 65, 76] and (2) large-scale (kilometers) RREAs in the thundercloud field seeded by either cosmic-ray air showers or thermal runaway electrons produced by a lightning leader [e.g., 74]. Both theories are not mutually exclusive. However, if lightning leaders are to produce TGFs locally (in the field they produce), the two theories lead to different testable predictions [e.g., 54, 68].
+IV. FUTURE SPACE MISSIONS
+Two missions with TGF measurement as one of their primary goals are planned to be launched within the next few years (2017�2019). Namely, the European Space Agency mission ASIM, which will be placed on board the International Space Station (ISS), and the French space agency (CNES) low-orbit satellite TARANIS. Because they were designed to observe very different sources (e.g., gamma-ray bursts of cosmic origin last several seconds) and given the very high fluxes in TGFs over a timescale of 100 �s, spaceborne instruments with TGF-observing capabilities are limited by significant saturation effects [e.g., 42, 45, 78], which change the time dynamics and energy of detected counts as compared to real photons.
+Designed to study TGFs, TARANIS will have very rapid lanthanum-bromide- and plastic-based detectors (XGRE) that should remove, or at least strongly limit, dead time and pile-up effects. The XGRE instrument will also be able to discriminate electrons from photons, which is key to the understanding of terrestrial electron beams (TEBs). XGRE will detect photons from 20 keV to 10 MeV and electrons from 1 MeV to 10 MeV. Other instruments on board TARANIS will detect the associated electromagnetic signals and optical emissions. On board the ISS, ASIM will have imaging capabilities for photons with energies between 10 and 500 keV, and will be able to detect photons with energy up to 40 MeV. ASIM will also be equipped with photometers to detect the related optical emissions.

+Abstract
+We demonstrated the tuning of whispering gallery modes (WGMs) of a silica microsphere during optical levitation through the annealing process. We determined the annealing temperature from the power balance between the CO2 laser light heating and several cooling processes. Cooling caused by heat conduction through the surrounding air molecules is the dominant process. We achieved a blue shift of the WGMs as large as 1 %, which was observed in the white-light scattering spectrum from the levitated microsphere.

+INTRODUCTION
+Optomechanical response of a single levitated solid microsphere to light is largely affected by whispering gallery modes (WGMs) excitation[1]. Therefore, precise tuning of the WGMs is necessary, as the radiation pressure can be resonantly enhanced through WGM excitation[2�4]. The optomechanical effect on the levitated micro and nanospheres is at the core of the active or passive cooling of the center of motion of the levitated particles[5� 9] down to the quantum ground state, which would lead to the macroscopic quantum phenomena[10, 11]. Furthermore, the exploration of optical binding effect and optomechanical coupling between multiple microshperes[12�16] requires mutual tuning of the WGMs. Since it is impossible to levitate an exact predetermined particle with commonly used loading techniques[7, 17�19], in-situ modification of the particle size or refractive index is needed to tune the WGMs.
+Solid microspheres are one of the most intriguing microcavity structures, which could have WGM resonances with an extremely high quality factor and small mode volume due to the three dimensional light confinement [20]. The high quality factor and small mode volume of the solid microspheres lead to cavity quantum electrodynamic phenomena[21], ultra-low threshold lasing[22], and highly efficient optical nonlinearity[23]. Liquid microspheres or microdroplets also show excellent cavity performance due to naturally smooth surface and high-sphericity[24, 25]. The size and shape of the microdroplet can be controlled through evaporation[24] or coagulation[26] and radiation pressure[27], leading to the tuning of the WGM resonances. The WGM tuning of the solid microspheres, however, continues to be a challenge owing to the technical difficulties that stems from the stable and strong atomic bonding. One of the most reliable methods is the temperature control through the thermal expansion and the temperature dependent refractive index[28]. Although the method provides the precise and repeatable tuning of WGMs, the requirement of the temperature stabilization prevents its use in many situations including optical levitation.
+Here, this study reports on the in-situ tuning of WGMs in levitated silica microspheres through the annealing process. The annealing of silica affects the microscopic silica network structure and the amount of impurity, leading to changes in the optical properties and the volume of the silica sample[29, 30]. Therefore, we can achieve different WGM resonances after different annealing conditions. The annealing was performed with the CO2 laser irra-

+diation on the levitated silica microsphere. CO2 laser light with the wavelength of 10.6 �m resonantly excites the broad Si-O-Si bands and the strong absorption occurs. The thermal balance between CO2 laser heating and several different cooling processes determines the annealing temperature. Thus, we can tune the WGMs by changing the CO2 laser irradiation power. We identified the WGM resonances from white light scattering spectra as the scattering cross section of the microspheres reflects the WGMs[31, 32].
+EXPERIMENTAL SETUP
+We optically levitated 3-�m-diameter microspheres (Polysciences, Silica Microspheres, 24330) with a dual-beam optical trap by using long-working-distance aspheric lenses to have enough space for CO2 laser irradiation (Fig. 1). A continuous-wave Ti:Sapphire laser beam with the wavelength of 785 nm was split into two parts using a polarizing beam splitter (PBS). The half-wave plate before the PBS was rotated to ensure equal power (1 W) in the two beams. The two identical aspheric lenses (thorlabs, C240TME-B) focused the beams onto the same point, which leads to a cancelation of the scattering forces[7]. Silica microspheres were loaded into the trapping sight via an ultrasonic nebulizer (Omron, NEU22)[17�19]. 100 �l of the stock solution was dried, redissolved in 15 ml ethanol, and was sonicated in an ultrasonic bath for 20 minutes before use.
+From a single optically levitated silica microsphere, we measured the white light scattering spectrum. The spectrum represents the WGMs in the microsphere according to Mie scattering theory[31, 32]. Then, the optically levitated microsphere was heated with the CO2 laser irradiation for 2 minutes. The CO2 laser light was focused onto the levitated microsphere with a ZnSe lens of 100 mm focal length. After switching off the CO2 laser light, we measured the white light scattering spectrum again. The spectrum reflects the change in the WGMs due to the annealing. We repeated the process with different CO2 laser powers, i.e., different annealing conditions.
+RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
+Figure 2 illustrates the white light scattering spectrum from the levitated silica microsphere. The widths of the resonances were determined by several loss mechanisms including

The power ratio between the two beams was controlled by rotating a half wave plate. Each beam was tightly focused by an aspherical lens (L1) with a common focal point forming a optical trapping potential.

The original white light source spectrum shows a gradual increase toward longer wavelength as depicted in the inset of Fig. 2 and well describes the different peak heights for different resonances.
+After the CO2 laser irradiation with the power of 2 kW/cm2, the white light scattering spectrum exhibited a slight blue shift of 3 nm as shown in Fig. 3 (red curve). The white light scattering spectrum continued to shift to shorter wavelength with increasing the CO2

+laser power. Figure 4 summarizes the blue shift of the peak around 660 nm as a function of the laser power. We achieved the WGMs tuning as large as 7 nm via in-situ annealing. Note that very-little or no blued shift was observed, if we re-irradiated the levitated microsphere using the CO2 laser with the same power.
+The temperature of the levitated microsphere during the annealing was determined by power balance among the CO2 laser heating, heat conduction through the surrounding gas, and thermal radiation. Here, we assume that the temperature distribution is homogeneous within the microsphere. Although this assumption seems unrealistic[33], the result gives us a rough estimation of the microsphere's steady state temperature.
+Heat loss due to natural convection is negligible in our case, since the system's Grashof Number[34] is very small owing to the small size of the microspheres (the radius r = 1.5 �m). Using kinematic viscosity and thermal expansion coefficient of air, 1.5 � 10-5 m2/s[35] and 3.6 � 10-3 K-1[36], the Grashof number is calculated to be G = 5.3T � 10-10, where T
+5
+
+is the temperature difference between the heated microsphere and the air without heating. Then, the natural convective heat loss can be neglected compared with the conductive heat
+ loss[34] when the distance from the microsphere's surface is less than r � 1/ G. Even if we take impractically large value T =10 000 K, the critical distance is enough large 700 �m, which justifies the omission of the natural convection effect for the following calculation.
+Since the size of the microsphere is of the same order as the wavelength of the CO2 laser, Mie scattering theory[31] enables us to estimate the absorption cross section[37] from the extinction coefficient of the silica. As the value of the extinction coefficient of silica ranges from 0.02 to 0.5 depending on the sample[38], we use the typical value  = 0.2 for the calculation, which gives the absorption cross section Cabs 3.2 �m2. The laser heating power is
+qlaser = CabsICO2,
+
+where ICO2 is the CO2 laser intensity at the surface of the microspheres.
+
+We assumed that the heat conduction through the surrounding gas occurs in the contin-
+
+uum regime, as the system's Knudsen number is  0.02. The conductive cooling power is
+
+calculated to be[39]
+
+Tp
+qair = 4r kgdT,
+Tg
+
+where kg is the temperature dependent heat conduction coefficient and Tp (Tg) is the tem-
+
+perature of the microspheres (the surrounding gas).
+
+We calculate the radiative heat loss also from Mie scattering theory[31, 40] using frequency
+
+dependent complex refractive index and absorption cross section[38] as

+where Pe(T ) is Plank distribution. The resulting cooling power is three orders of magnitude smaller than the conductive cooling power at the temperature less than 1000 K. Therefore, we neglect the radiative cooling process here.
+The steady state temperature of the levitated microsphere under CO2 laser irradiation is determined by numerically solving the equation qlaser = qair. With the maximum CO2 laser

After the annealing at this temperature, we expect a few percentage reduction of the radius of the microsphere due to the removal of water molecules and organic impurities from the interior of micropores and the surface of the silica microspheres[30]. This shrinkage is consistent with the observed 7 nm blue shift of the WGM resonances ( 1 percent change of the wavelength).

+CONCLUSION
+This study demonstrated the in-situ tuning of WGM resonances of optically levitated microspheres through the annealing process. The thermal balance between CO2 laser heating and the heat conduction into the surrounding air determines the annealing temperature. With changing temperature, we can achieve the different WGM resonances because of the shrinkage of the microspheres.

Further selective doping with specific dopants is also possible, which will expand the available internal degree of freedom of the levitated particles.

+TOWARDS A UNIVERSALITY PICTURE FOR THE RELAXATION TO EQUILIBRIUM OF KINETICALLY CONSTRAINED MODELS
+F. MARTINELLI AND C. TONINELLI
+ABSTRACT. Recent years have seen a great deal of progress in our understanding of bootstrap percolation models, a particular class of monotone cellular automata. In the two dimensional lattice Z2 there is now a quite satisfactory understanding of their evolution starting from a random initial condition, with a strikingly beautiful universality picture for their critical behavior. Much less is known for their non-monotone stochastic counterpart, namely kinetically constrained models (KCM). In KCM each vertex is resampled (independently) at rate one by tossing a p-coin iff it can be infected in the next step by the bootstrap model. In particular infection can also heal, hence the non-monotonicity. Besides the connection with bootstrap percolation, KCM have an interest in their own as they feature some of the most striking features of the liquid/glass transition, a major and still largely open problem in condensed matter physics. In this paper we pave the way towards proving universality results for KCM similar to those for bootstrap percolation. Our novel and general approach establishes a close connection between the critical scaling of characteristic time scales for KCM and the scaling of the critical length in critical bootstrap models. Although the full proof of universality for KCM is deferred to a forthcoming paper, here we apply our general method to the Friedrickson-Andersen k-facilitated models, amongst the most studied KCM, and to the Gravner-Griffeath model. In both cases our results are close to optimal.
+1. INTRODUCTION
+In recent years remarkable progress have been obtained in understanding the behaviour of a particular class of monotone cellular automata known as bootstrap percolation. A general bootstrap cellular automata [4] is specified by its update family U = {U1, . . . , Um} of finite subsets of Zd \ 0. Once U is given, the U -bootstrap percolation process on e.g. the d dimensional torus of linear size n, Zdn, is as follows. Given a set A  Zdn of initially infected vertices, set A0 = A, and define recursively for each tN
+At+1 = At  {x  Zdn : x + Uk  At for some k  (1, . . . m)}. In other words a vertex x becomes infected at time t + 1 if the translate by x of at least one element of the update family is already entirely infected at time t, and infected vertices remain infected forever. A much studied example is the classical r-neighbour model (see [2] and references therein) in which a vertex gets infected if at least r among its nearest neighbours are infected, namely the update family is formed by all the r-subsets of the set of the nearest neighbours of the origin.
+A central problem for bootstrap models is their long time evolution when the initial infected set A0 is q-random, i.e. each vertex of Zdn, independently from the other vertices, is initially declared to be infected with probability q  (0, 1). A key quantity is then the critical percolation threshold qc(n; U ) defined as the smallest q such that the probability (over A0) that eventually the whole torus becomes infected is at least 1/2. Closely related quantities are the critical length
+Lc(q, U ) := min{n : qc(n, U ) = q},
+and the mean infection time of the origin E( (A, U )), where
+ (A, U ) := min(t 0 : 0  At).
+In [3�5] beautiful universality results for general U -bootstrap percolation processes in two dimension satisfying limn qc(n, U ) = 0 have been established, yielding the sharp

+
+behavior of qc(n) as n   and of Lc(q, U ) and  (A, U ) as q  0. For a nice review of these results we refer the reader to [20, Section 1].
+A quite natural stochastic counterpart of bootstrap percolation models are particular interacting particle systems known as kinetically constrained models (KCM). Given a U -
+bootstrap model, the associated KCM is the continuos time reversible Markov process on  = {0, 1}Zd constructed as follows. Call a vertex infected if it is in the zero state. Then each vertex x, with rate one and independently across Zd, is resampled by tossing a p-coin (Prob(1) = p) iff the update rule of the bootstrap process at x was fulfilled by
+the current configuration [9]. It is easy to check that such a process is reversible w.r.t. the Bernoulli(p) product measure on . Notice that if q := 1 - p  1, it is very unlikely
+for a vertex to become infected (even if it would have been infected by the bootstrap
+process). Observe moreover that infected vertices may heal. The latter feature implies,
+in particular, that the KCM is not monotone/attractive, a fact that rules out several
+powerful tools from interacting particle systems theory like monotone coupling and
+censoring.
+Besides the connection with cellular automata, KCM are of interest in their own.
+They have been in fact introduced in the physics literature in the '80's to model the
+liquid/glass transition, a major and still largely open problem in condensed matter
+physics [14]. Extensive numerical simulations indicate that they display a remarkable
+glassy behavior, including heterogeneous dynamics, the occurrence of ergodicity break-
+ing transitions, multiple invariant measures and anomalously long time scales (see for
+example [14] and references therein).
+It has been proved in [9] that a KCM undergoes an ergodicity breaking transition at qc := lim infn qc(n, U ) and a major problem, both from the physical and mathematical point of view, is to determine the precise divergence of its characteristic time scales when q  qc. A very natural time scale is the first time 0(Zd; U ) at which the state of the origin is updated when the initial law is the reversible measure (i.e. the initial configuration consists of i.i.d. Bernoulli(p) variables). Via a general argument based on the finite-speed of propagation considerations, it is possible to prove [9] that E(0(Zd; U )) is lower bounded by the critical length Lc(q; U ) of the corresponding bootstrap percolation model, where E(�) denotes the average w.r.t. the stationary process. Unfortunately a general upper bound on E(0(Zd; U )), related to the best constant in the Poincar�e inequality for the KCM, is much poorer and of the form E(0(Zd; U )) exp(cLdc ) [9]. Though this bound has been greatly improved for special choices of the update family U , yielding in some cases the correct behavior (cf. [8, 10, 11]), for general KCM and
+contrary to the situation of bootstrap percolation in two dimensions there is yet no universality picture for the scaling of E(0(Zd; U )).
+For all those KCM such that limn qc(n; U ) = 0 it is possible to find in [20, Section 2] some conjectures, formulated jointly with the author R. Morris, on the classification of their universality classes and on the link between the scaling of E(0(Zd; U )) and that of Lc(q; U ). For such KCM it is necessary to introduce a more refined1 classification of their universality classes w.r.t. bootstrap percolation models in order to take into account the effect of the presence of energy barriers on the scaling of E(0(Zd; U )) as q  0.
+In this paper we develop a novel and general approach to pin down the dominant relaxation mechanism and obtain a much tighter upper bound for E�(0(Zd; U )) in terms of the critical length Lc(q; U ). Our method is designed particularly for KCM such that limn qc(n; U ) = 0. By applying our strategy it is possible to prove that, for a large class of KCM in two dimensions (the critical -unrooted models in the language
+of [20]),
+E�(0(Zd; U )) = O(Lc(q; U )(q)), (q) = poly(log log Lc(q; U )) as q  0. (1.1)
+
+1It is necessary to distinguish between update families U for which the critical droplet (in bootstrap
+percolation jargon) is constrained to move inside a cone or not. Examples of the first instance are the d-dimensional East model and the Duarte model in Z2. In the first case U consists of the 1-subsets of di=1{-ei} and in the second case of the 2-subsets of {e1, �e2}.
+
+3
+The proof of this result together with the analysis of the universality picture of KCM in two dimensions, including the proof of the conjectures in [20] for the supercritical models, is postponed to a forthcoming work [19]. Here we apply our technique to the KCM with update family corresponding to k-neighbour bootstrap percolation in any dimension, a much studied KCM known in the physics literature as the Friedrickson Andersen k-facilitated model [1]. We also consider the two dimensional Gravner-Griffeath model [16], in which the update family U are the 3-subsets of the set consisting of the nearest neighbours of the origin together with the vertices (�2, 0), a model featuring a striking anisotropy in its bootstrap evolution. In both cases our results (Theorem 4.3) establishes (1.1) in d = 2 and a tight connection between E(0) and Lc(q; U ) in d  3.
+1.1. Plan of the paper. In section 2, after introducing the relevant notation and motivated by the connection between E(0) and the Poincar�e inequality, we prove a (constrained) Poincar�e inequality for very general KCM (Theorem 1) satisfying a rather flexible condition involving the range of the update family U and the probability that an update is feasible. Constrained Poincar�e inequality for KCM, implying positive spectral gap and exponential mixing, have already been established [9], mainly using the so-called halving method. Here, inspired by our previous analysis of KCM on trees [8, 18], we develop an alternative method which, besides being more natural and direct, applies as well to update families with a large (depending on q) or infinite number of elements. As an example, in section 2.2 we prove a Poincar�e inequality for the KCM for which the constraint requires that the oriented neighbors of the to-be-update vertex belong to an infinite cluster of infected vertices.
+Section 3, and its main outcomes summarised in Corollary 3.9, is somehow the core of the work. By applying Theorem 1 together with a renormalization argument and canonical paths arguments, we prove a sharp bound on the best constant in the Poincare' inequality for general KCM. This bound involves the probability of occurence of a critical droplet (in the bootstrap percolation language) together with certain congestion constants related to the cost of moving around the droplet. In this section we made an effort to keep the framework as general as possible, in order to construct a very flexible tool that can be applied to any choice of constraints in any dimensions.
+In section 4 we introduce the Friedrickson-Andersen k-facilitated (FA-kf) and GravnerGriffeath (GG) models and state our main result Theorem 4.3 for the scaling of E(0(Zd; U )) in these cases. Finally in section 5 we prove Theorem 4.3 by bounding (model by model) the congestion constants appearing in the key inequality of Corollary 3.9.

+2.0.2. The probability space. Given a finite set S and   Zd, we will denote by  the product space S endowed with the product topology. Given V   and    we will write V for the restriction of  to V . Finally we will denote by � the product measure � = x �^x on , where �^x = �^ x  Zd and �^ is a positive probability measure on S. Expectation and variance w.r.t. � are denoted by E(�), Var(�) respectively. If  = Zd the subscript  will be dropped from the notation.
+In several applications the probability space (S, �^) will be the "particle space" S = {0, 1}V where V is a finite subset (a "block" as it is sometimes called) of Zd and �^ =
+xV B(p), B(p) being the p-Bernoulli measure.

+FIGURE 1. An example in two dimensions of a constraint satisfying the
+exterior condition w.r.t. a sequence of increasing half-spaces. Only the slices {Ln}3n=0 are drawn. The constraint c0 requires that the restriction of the configuration  to each one of the four vertices around the origin (black dots) belongs to a certain subset G  S.
+
+2.0.3. The constraints. For each x  Zd let x  Zd \ {x} be a finite set, let Ax be an event depending on the variables {y}yx and let cx be its indicator function. By construction cx does not depend on x. In the sequel we will refer to cx as the constraint at x and to x := �(1 - cx) = �(Acx) and x as its failure probability and support respectively. In our approach based on a martingale decomposition of the variance Var(f ) of any local function f :   R, a key role is played by constraints satisfying the following exterior condition.
+Definition 2.1 (Exterior condition). Given an exhausting2 collection of subsets {Vn} n=- of Zd, let Ln := Vn \ Vn-1 be the nth-shell and, for any x  Ln, let the exterior of x be the set Extx :=  j=n+1Lj. We then say that the family of constraints {cx}xZd satisfies the exterior condition w.r.t. {Vn} n=- if x  Extx for all x.
+Example 1. A concrete example of a class of constraints satisfying the exterior condition and entering in the applications to kinetically constrained models is as follows. Fix a vertex z  0 and let L0 = {x  Zd : x, z = 0}, where �, � is the usual scalar product and x, z are treated as vectors in Rd. For n  1 let Ln = L0 + nz where  = sup{ > 0 : (L0 + z)  Zd = }. Similarly for n - 1. Finally set Vn := nj=-Lj (cf. Figure 1). Then the constraints are defined as follows. Let G  S be an single site event and let U = (U1, . . . , Um) be a finite family of subsets of the half-space {x  Zd : x, z > 0} =  i=1Li. Then c0() is the indicator of the event that there exists U  U such that x  G for all x  U . The constraint cx at any other vertex x is obtained by translating the above construction by x. For example in d = 2 one could take S = {0, 1}, G = {0}, z = (1, 1), m = 1 and U = {(0, 1), (1, 0)}, a case known as the North-East model (cf. e.g. [9]). In all the applications discussed in this paper z = (1, . . . , 1) but in order to prove the universality results discussed in the introduction more general choices of z will be necessary.
+2.1. Poincare� inequality. For simplicity we state our main result directly for the infinite lattice Zd. There is also a finite volume version in a box   Zd which is proved exactly in the same way. Let {c(xi)}xZd , i = 1, . . . , k be a family of constraints with supports (xi) and failure probabilities (xi). For any non-empty I  [k] let I  (0, +) be a positive weight, let x(I) = �( iI (1 - c(xi))) and let x(I) = iI x(i).
+2That is Vn  Vn+1 for all n and nVn = Zd.

+
+Theorem 1. Assume that there exists a choice of {I }I[k] such that

+(2.1)
+
+Suppose in addition that there exists an exhausting family {Vn} n=- of sets of Zd such that, for any i  [k], the constraints {c(xi)}xZd satisfy the exterior condition w.r.t. {Vn} n=-. Then, for any local (i.e. depending on finitely many variables) function f :   R,

+(2.2)
+
+Remark 2.2. As it is well known, the Poincar�e inequality (2.2) is equivalent to say that
+
+the spectral gap of the reversible Markov process on  with Dirichlet form given by D(f ) =
+
+x�
+
+k i=1
+
+cx(i)
+
+Varx(f )
+
+is greater than 1/4. Such a process, a kind of generalised
+
+KCM, can be informally described as follows. With rate one and independently across Zd
+
+each variable x(t)  S, x  Zd, is resampled from �^x iff
+
+k i=1
+
+c(xi)((t))
+
+=
+
+1.
+
+Remark 2.3. It is easy to construct examples of constraints for which the exterior con-
+dition is violated and the r.h.s. of (2.2) is zero for a suitable local function f . Take for
+instance S = {0, 1}, d = 2 and cx the indicator of the event that at least three nearest neighbors of x are in the zero state. If f () = 0e1e1+e2e2 then cx() Varx(f ) = 0 for all  and all x  Zd while Var(f ) > 0. In this case there does not exist an exhausting family {Vn} n=1 such that the constraints satisfy the exterior condition w.r.t. {Vn} n=1.
+
+Remark 2.4. For certain applications the following monotonicity property turns out to be useful. Suppose that {c(xi)}xZd, i[k] satisfy the condition of the theorem and let {c^x(i)}xZd, i[k]
+be another family of constraints which are dominated by the first ones in the sense that cx(i) c^x(i) for all i, x. Then clearly (2.2) holds with c(xi) replaced bt c^x(i) even if the latter does not satisfy the exterior condition. As an example take S = {0, 1}, k = 1 and c^x the constraint that at least one neighbor of x is in the zero state and cx the same but restricted to the neighbors of the form x + ei, i  [d].
+
+Proof of Theorem 1. We first treat the case of a single constraint k = 1. After that we will explain how to generalize the argument to k > 1 constraints. We begin with a simple result.
+
+Lemma 2.5. For any local function f
+
+Var(f )
+
+� Varx �Extx (f ) .
+x
+
+(2.3)
+
+Proof of the Lemma. Let {Vi} i=- be the exhausting family of sets w.r.t. which all the constraints satisfy the exterior condition, let Li = Vi \ Vi-1 be the corresponding ithshell and assume w.l.o.g. that the support of f is contained in ni=0Li. Let finally j = ni=n-jLi, j n. Using the formula for conditional variance together with the fact that � is a product measure we get:
+
+Var(f ) = � Var0(f ) + Var �0(f )
+= � Var0 (f ) + � Var1 �0 (f ) + Var �1 �0 (f ) ...
+n-1
+= � Var0 [f ] + � Varj+1 �j (f ) .
+j=0
+
+Recall now the standard inequality valid for any product probability measure  = 1  2:
+Var(f ) (Var1(f )) + (Var2(f )).
+
+6
+
+F. MARTINELLI AND C. TONINELLI
+
+If we apply the inequality to Varj+1 �j (f ) and observe that �j (f ) does not depend on the variables in j, we get immediately
+
+�(Varj+1 �j (f ) ) Analogously,
+
+� Varx �j (f ) =
+
+� Varx �Extx (f ) .
+
+xj+1\j
+
+xj+1\j
+
+� Var0 [f ]
+
+� Varx(f ) =
+
+� Varx(�Extx (f )) ,
+
+x0
+
+x0
+
+because �Extx(f ) = f for any x  0. The proof of the claim is complete.
+
+We can now prove the theorem for k = 1 and the starting point is (2.3). We begin by examining a generic term � Varx(�Extx(f )) for which we write
+
+�Extx (f ) = �Extx cxf + �Extx 1 - cx f ,
+
+so that
+
+Varx �Extx (f ) 2 Varx �Extx cxf + 2 Varx �Extx 1 - cx f .
+
+(2.4)
+
+Since cx() does not depend on x, the convexity of the variance implies that the first term in the above r.h.s. satisfies
+
+Varx �Extx cxf
+
+�Extx Varx cxf = �Extx cx Varx(f ) .
+
+We now turn to the analysis of the more complicated second term in the r.h.s. of (2.4).
+
+Varx �Extx [1 - cx f
+
+= Varx �Extx 1 - cx f - �Extx{x}(f ) + �Extx{x}(f ) = Varx �Extx 1 - cx g ,
+
+where g := f -�Extx{x}(f ) and we used the fact that Varx �Extx ([1-cx]�Extx{x}(f )) = 0.
+Recall now that the constraint cx depends only on {y}yx with x  Extx. Thus
+�Extx 1 - cx g = �Extx [1 - cx]�Extx\x (g)
+and a Schwarz-inequality then gives:
+
+Varx �Extx 1 - cx g
+
+�x �Extx 1 - cx �Extx\x g 2
+
+x�Extx{x} �Extx\x (g) 2 .
+
+(2.5)
+
+Next we note that �Extx{x} �Extx\x (g) 2 = �xx �Extx\x (g)2 = Varxx �Extx\x (g) , (2.6)
+
+where we used the fact that �xx �Extx\x(g) = �Extx{x}(g) = 0 by the definition of g. Then by using (2.3), (2.5) and (2.6) we get
+
+Varx �Extx 1 - cx g
+
+x
+
+�xx Varz �Extz �Extx\x (g)
+
+zxx
+
+x
+
+�Extx{x} (Varz(�Extz (g))
+
+zxx
+
+= x
+
+�Extx{x} (Varz(�Extz (f )) ,
+
+zxx
+
+where we use the convexity of the variance to obtain the second inequality. In conclusion,
+
+(2.7)

+
+If supz x: xxz x 1/4 we get

+x
+
+We now turn to the general case k > 1. Let cx = i c(xi) and recall the definition of x(I) and of x(I) for any non-empty I  [k]. Let also dx(I) = iI (1 - c(xi)) so that x(I) = �(dx(I)). Notice that (inclusion/exclusion formula)
+
+1 - cx =
+
+(-1)Parity(I)+1dx(I) =
+
+(-1)1+Parity(I) I dx(I)/ I .
+
+I [k] I =
+
+I [k] I =
+
+Thus the delicate term Varx �Extx [1 - cx f in (2.4) can be bounded from above using the Schwartz inequality by

+
+-I 1 Varx �Extx dx(I) f .
+
+I [k]
+

+

+2.2. An application within supercritical percolation in two dimensions. In this section we restrict ourselves to the case in which the single site probability space (S, �^) coincides with ({0, 1}, B(p)) and the lattice dimension is equal to two. Given    := Z2 we will say that x  C() := {x  Z2 : x = 0} belongs to an infinite cluster of zeros if the connected (w.r.t. to the graph structure of Z2) component of C() containing x is unbounded. It is well known that there exists pc  (0, 1)3 such that
+(p) := �(the origin belongs to an infinite cluster)
+
+is positive iff p < pc and that moreover there exists �-a.s. a unique unbounded component of C(). Let c x be the indicator function of the event that at least two nearest neighbors of x belong to an infinite cluster of zeros.

+Remark 2.7. It follows in particular that, for all p sufficiently small, the kinetically con-
+strained model (cf. Section 4 for a detailed definition) with the above constraints is exponentially ergodic in L2(�) with relaxation time bounded by 4.
+

+FIGURE 2. A drawing of the first five rectangles {Rn(1) + x}5n=1 together with a pictorial representation of the hard crossings of zeros (the solid lines) required by the auxiliary contraint c(xn,1). The dashed curved line represents a piece of the hard crossing for the next rectangle R6(1) + x (the two horizontal dashed lines). Notice that each rectangle has its leftmost lowermost vertex always at x + e2 and that the first rectangle R1(1) consists of only two vertices, x + e2 and x + 2e2.
+
+Proof. We will make use of the following standard construction for super-critical percolation [7]. Let n = 2n and define Rn to be a rectangle of the form either [n] � [n-1] or [n-1] � [n] according to whether n is even or odd. We will also denote by Rn(1)(Rn(2)) the rectangle obtained by translating Rn by the vector -e1(-e2) (see Figure 2). With the help of the families {Rn(1), Rn(2)}nN we finally introduce a new family of constraints
+as follows. For i = 1, 2 let cx(n,i) be the indicator function of the event that inside the rectangle
+Rn(i) + x there exists a path  = (x(1), . . . , x(m)) joining the two opposite shortest sides such that x(j) = 0 for all j  [m]4. Let also c(x0) be the indicator of the event that x+e1 = x+e2 = 0. Notice that, by construction, the above constraints satisfy the exterior condition 2.1 w.r.t. to the half-spaces defined in Example 1 with z = (1, 1).
+Moreover it is easy to check that
+
+
+
+c(x0)
+
+c(xn,1)cx(n,2)
+
+n=1
+
+c x x,
+
+(2.10)
+
+so that it is enough to prove the constrained Poincar�e inequality (2.9) with c x replaced
+
+by c(x0)
+
+ n=1
+
+c(xn,1) cx(n,2) .
+
+More
+

+
+we

+

+

+4A path  in Zd of length || := k is a ordered sequence of k vertices of Z2 such that two consecutive sites are nearest neighbors of each other. A path with the properties described in the text is usually referred to as a hard crossing.
+

+
+The theorem will then follow by taking the limit k  + and using (2.10). In order
+to prove (2.11) we want to apply Theorem 1 which in turn requires finding a family of weights {I }I[k]{0} satisfying (2.1). For this purpose we first recall a standard estimates from super-critical site percolation [15] valid for all p small enough:
+
+�(1 - cx(n,i)) �(1 - c(x0))
+
+e-m(p)n , 2p,
+
+with limp0 m(p) = +. In particular, recalling the definition of x(I) and x(I) from Section 2.1, we have the following bounds:
+
+x(I) e-m(p)n(I) ,
+
+x(I) 32n(I)
+
+if n(I) := max{i  I} > 0,

+3. A GENERAL APPROACH TO PROVE A POINCAR�E INEQUALITY FOR KINETICALLY
+CONSTRAINED SPIN MODELS
+
+In this section we start from the general constrained Poincar�e inequality proved in Theorem 1 to develop a quite robust and general scheme proving a special kind of Poincar�e constrained inequality (cf. Theorem 3.2 and Corollary 3.9) inspired by kinetically constrained models. The approach developed below will allow us, in particular, to relate the scaling of the persistence time of certain kinetically constrained models near the ergodicity threshold to the scaling of the critical length scale of the corresponding bootstrap percolation model. The application of the techniques developed here to the whole class of two dimensional critical models is deferred to a future work [10]. Concrete and succesful applications to basic kinetically constrained models (cf. Theorem 4.3) will be given in the next section. The starting point of our approach is the definition of good and super-good single site events.
+Given two events G1, G2 in the probability space (S, �^) let p1 := �^(G1) and p2 := �^(G2). We will assume that G1 is very likely while G2 is very unlikely. In the sequel we will refer to G1 and G2 as the good and super-good events respectively.
+Definition 3.1 (Good and super-good paths). Given    = SZd we will say that a vertex x is good if x  G1 and super-good if x  G2. We will say that a path  = (x(1), . . . , x(k)) is a good path for  if each vertex in  is good. A path will be called super-good if it is good and it contains at least one super-good vertex.
+
+Before stating the main result we need a last notion. For any mapping G1  G2 let
+
+
+
+=
+
+max
+G2
+
+ G1 :
+
+( )=
+
+�^() �^()
+
+,
+
+(3.1)
+
+10
+
+F. MARTINELLI AND C. TONINELLI
+
+and, for any  such that x  G1, let (x) :    be given by
+
+(x)()z :=
+
+(x) z
+
+if z = x otherwise.
+
+(3.2)
+
+Theorem 3.2. There exist   1 and c > 0 such that, for any G1  G2 and all p1, p2 with max(p2, (1 - p1) log(1/p2)2) , the following holds:
+
+Var(f ) c (p-2 4)d
+
+�
+x
+
+�{x+ei G2} Varx(f )
+i[d]
+
++
+
+� �{xG1,yG2} f ((x)()) - f () 2 .
+
+x,y: d1(x,y)=1
+
+(3.3)
+
+Remark 3.3. We could have stated Theorem 3.2 in a more general form in which the
+
+constraint by yA+x
+
+�i{[yd] �G{2}x,+weiheGre2}A, appEeaxrti0ngisinsotmhee
+
+first term in the finite set whose
+
+r.h.s. of (3.3), is replaced cardinality is independent
+
+of p1, p2. For example in two dimensions A could be {e1}{e2+e1}{e2}� � �{e2-me1}.
+
+For future applications [19] the freedom given by the choice of the set A will be quite
+
+crucial. The proof in this slightly more general case is identical to the one given below. The
+
+same applies for the developments discussed in Section 3.1.
+
+The first term in the r.h.s of (3.3) is a constrained Dirichlet form D(f ) as in the
+r.h.s. of (2.2), with constraints cx := � i[d] {x+eiG2}. These constraints satisfy the
+exterior condition w.r.t. the half-spaces defined in Example 1 with z = (1, . . . , 1) but, at
+the same time, they are very unlikely (recall that �^(G2)  1) so that we cannot apply directly Theorem 1 to our setting. Moreover the fact that the {cx} are unlikely implies that a Poincar�e inequality of the form Var(f ) CD(f ) for all local f and some finite constant C cannot hold. To see that take for instance {fn} n=1 to be a sequence of local functions approximating the indicator of the event that the origin belongs to an infinite oriented cluster of not super-good vertices 5. Thus the second term in the r.h.s. of (3.3)
+plays an important role.
+Our approach is first to prove a different kind of constrained Poincar�e inequality (cf.
+Proposition 3.4) in which the term in (3.3) involving  is missing and the constraint
+cx above is replaced by the weaker (and very likely) constraint that for all i  [d] there exists a super-good path (i) in Z2 \ {x} starting at x + ei and of length not larger than 1/p22. Secondly (cf. Lemma 3.5), using repeatedly the mapping x for each x  (i) starting at the super-good vertex of (i), we "bring" the super-good vertex of (i) at
+x + ei. In doing that we pay a cost which is embodied in the second term in the r.h.s. of (3.3).
+
+Proof. In what follows we assume that we have fixed some mapping G1  G2. We begin by proving the first step of the roadmap just described.
+
+Proposition 3.4. There exists   1 such that, for all p1, p2 satisfying max(p2, (1 -
+p1) log(1/p2)2) , the following holds. Let �x be the indicator of the event that i  [d]
+there exists a super-good path (i) of length at most 1/p22 starting at x + ei. Then, for any local f ,
+
+Var(f ) 4 � (�x Varx(f )) .
+x
+
+(3.4)
+
+Proof of the proposition. In what follows all the auxiliary constraints that we will need to introduce will satisfy the exterior condition w.r.t. the exhausting family of half-spaces defined in Example 1 with z = (1, . . . , 1).
+
+5In other words there exists a infinite path  = (x(1), . . . , x(k), . . . ) starting at the origin such that x(i)  x(i+1) and x(i) / G2 for all i.
+
+11
+
+Let  = 2 log(1/p2), L = e and let us define two family of constraints {c(x1), c(x2)}xZd as follows:
+
+c(x1) =
+
+1 0
+
+if for all i  [d] and all k  [] the vertex x + kei is good, otherwise,
+
+ 1 c(x2) =  0
+
+if for all i  [d]  a super-good path in Extx of length at most L starting in the set {x + ei, . . . , x + ei} otherwise.
+
+Notice that c(x1)c(x2) �x. In order to apply theorem 1 to the above constraints we
+need to verify the key condition (2.1). For this purpose we begin to observe that the corresponding supports satisfy (x1)  di=1{x + ei, . . . , x + ei} and (x2)  {y  Zd : d1(x, y)  + L}. In particular there exists a numerical constant ^ such that the condition for the validity of Theorem 1 holds if
+
+d�(1 - c(x1)) + ( + L)d �((1 - c(x2))) + �((1 - c(x1))(1 - c(x2))) ^.
+
+(3.5)
+
+A simple union bound proves that �(1 - c(x1)) d(1 - p1), while standard super-critical percolation bounds 6 valid for large enough values of p1 prove that
+
+�((1 - c(x1))(1 - c(x2))) �(1 - c(x2)) d e-c log(1/(1-p1)) + (1 - p2)L
+
+for some constant c > 0. It is now immediate to verify that given ^ > 0 there exists  > 0 small enough such that max(p2, (1 - p1) log(1/p2)2)  implies (3.5).
+
+Notice that so far the mapping  played no role. We will now use it in order to
+bound a generic term � (�x Varx(f )) appearing in (3.4). Without loss of generality we
+only treat the case x = 0.
+
+Lemma 3.5. In the same setting of Theorem 3.2 there exists c > 0 independent of p1, p2,  such that

+where  is the box centered at the origin of side 2 1/p22 .
+
+By combining together Lemma 3.5 and Proposition 3.4 we get the statement of the theorem.
+
+Proof of Lemma 3.5. Recall that �0 is the indicator of the event, call it SGi, that there
+exists a super-good path (i) in Z2 \ {0} of length at most L  1/p22 starting at x + ei. Clearly SGi is identical to the event that there exists  = (x(1), . . . , x(L))  Z2 \ {0}, such that:
+� each vertex x(j) appears exactly once (i.e. the path is simple) and x(1) = ei, � there exist n L such that x(n) is super-good, � all the vertices x(j) with j n are good.
+Fix i = 1 and let us order in some way the set P of simple paths in Zd \ {0} of length L starting at e1. For any   i[d]SGi let  be the smallest path in P satisfying the
+
+6 Fix e.g. the first direction. The probability that none of the vertices x + e1, . . . , x + e1 belong to an
+infinite good path in Extx is exponentially small in  while the probability that a given path of length L is super-good conditionally on being good is at least 1 - (1 - p2)L.

+
+Thus the mapping (i), i n - 1, makes the configuration  super-good in x(i) and leaves it unchanged elsewhere. For i = n the mapping (n) is the identity. With the

+

+
+We can now analyse the first term inside the above square bracket by repeating the above analysis for the second direction. In d - 1 steps the proof is complete.
+
+3.1. A canonical paths bound of the r.h.s. of (3.3). In this section we proceed further by analysing the r.h.s. of (3.3) in the special case in which S = {0, 1}V , V = di=1[ni] for some integers {ni}di=1, and �^ is the Bernoulli(p) product measure. We will write |V | for the cardinality of V . In this setting the probability space (SZd , �) becomes isomorphic to (, �) where  = {0, 1}Zd and � is the Bernoulli(p) product measure. It is therefore convenient to do a relabelling of the variables   SZd as follows.
+Let Zd(n) be the renormalised lattice di=1(niZ) and let, for x  Zd(n), Vx := V + x. We will write x  y iff x, y are nearest neighbor in the renormalised lattice Zd(n). The old "block" variable x  S associated to Vx is renamed as Vx = {y}yVx with now y  {0, 1} for all y's. In particular the local variance term Varx(f ) appearing in the r.h.s. of (3.3) becomes VarVx(f ). Accordingly we rewrite the mapping (x), x  Zd(n), as (Vx).
+In order to formulate our bounds we need to define the canonical paths (cf. e.g. [22]).
+Definition 3.6 (Canonical paths). Let ,    be two configurations which differ in finitely many vertices. We say that ,  ((1), (2), . . . , (k)) is a canonical path between ,  if (i) (1) = , (k) = , (ii) (i) = (j) for all i = j (no loops) and (iii) for any i  [k - 1] the configuration (i+1) is obtained from (i) by a single spin flip. The integer k will be referred to as the length of the path.
+The bounds on the individual terms in the r.h.s. of (3.3) are then as follows.
+Lemma 3.7. We assume that, for any x  Zd(n), any z  Vx and any  such that Vx+ei  G2 for all i  [d] , a canonical path ,z has been defined such that a generic
+
+14
+
+F. MARTINELLI AND C. TONINELLI
+
+transition in the path consists of a spin flip in Vx  (di=1{Vx + ei}). Let

+i[d]
+
+cANA|V |2
+
+� �Ay () Vary(f ) ,

+yZd
+
+for a numerical constant c > 0, where �Ay () is the indicator of the event that there exists
+x  Zd(n), z  Vx and � such that �Vx+ei  G2, i  [d] and the pair (, y) form a transition of the canonical path between � and �z.
+
+Lemma 3.8. We assume that, for any x  y and any    such that Vx  G1 and Vy  G2, a canonical path between  and (Vx)() has been defined such that a generic transition in the path consists of a spin flip in Vx  Vy. Let
+
+B
+

+x  y and  such that V x  G1, V y  G2 and the pair (, z) form the transition of the canonical path between  and (Vx)().
+
+The proof of the above two lemmas is practically identical so we only prove the first one.
+
+Proof of Lemma 3.7. The starting inequality is
+
+VarVx (f )
+
+�(Varz(f )).
+
+zVx
+
+For simplicity in the sequel we assume x = 0. Given  such that V +ei  G2 i  [d] and z  V , let ,z = ((1), (2), . . . , (k)) be the corresponding canonical path. Then
+
+Varz(f )() = p(1 - p)[f (z) - f ()]2

+
+where �Ay () is as in the statement and, after the change of variables  = (i), we used
+the definition of A to bound the relative density between (i) and . The statement of
+the lemma now follows at once.
+
+For future purpose we summarise the conclusion of our bounds.

+a Poincar�e inequality Var(f ) CD(f ), where D(f ) = z �(cz Varz(f )) is the Dirichlet form of the KCM (cf. Remark 2.2) and C satisfies
+
+C c (p-2 4)d max ANA|V |2, BNB|V | .
+
+4. APPLICATION TO SPECIFIC KCM MODELS
+
+In this section we begin by recalling the definition of the Fredrickson-Andersen constrained spin models with k-facilitation (FA-kf in the sequel) introduced by H.C. Andersen and G.H. Friedrikson in [1] and of the GG constrained spin model. As it will clear in a moment, the FA-kf models are closely related to the so-called k-neighbor model in bootstrap percolation, while the GG model is related to the anisotropic bootstrap percolation model introduced by Gravner-Griffeath [16]. As such, the dynamical properties of both models near the ergodicity threshold are intimately related to the scaling properties of the corresponding bootstrap percolation models in the same regime. Finally we state our main result relating the persistence time with the critical bootstrap percolation length. This will be proven in section 5 using Corollary 3.9. The key step will consist in finding suitable (i.e. depending on the specific choice of the constraints) good and super-good events G1, G2, map  and canonical paths.
+
+4.0.1. The models. We will work with the probability space (, �) where  = {0, 1}Zd and � is the product Bernoulli(p) and we will be interested in the asymptotic regime q  0 where q = 1 - p. A generic kinetically constrained model (KCM in the sequel) is a particular interacting particle system, i.e. a Markov process on , described by the Markov generator
+(Lf )() = cx() �x(f ) - f (),
+xZd
+where �x(f ) is the Bernoulli(p)-average of f () w.r.t. to the variable x. The constraints {cx}xZd are defined as follows. Let U = {U1, . . . , Um} be a finite collection of finite subsets of Zd \ {0}. We call U the update family of the process and each X  U an update rule. Then cx is the indicator function of the event that there exists an update rule X  U such that y = 0 y  X + x. We emphasize that we do not assume that the constraints satisfy the exterior property of Section 2.0.3. Using these assumptions it is easy to check (cf. [9] for a detailed analysis) that L becomes the generator of a reversible Markov process on , with reversible measure �.
+In the FA-kf model one takes as U the family of k-subsets of the set of nearest neighbors of the origin. In the GG model in two dimensions one takes U as the family of 3-subsets of the set of nearest neighbors of the origin together with the vertices {�2e1}. In the terminology of bootstrap percolation (see e.g. [3] and the recent survey [20])
+the FA-kf models belong to the family of critical balanced models while the GG model is
+critical and unbalanced. Such a difference will appear clearly in the sequel.
+We now define the two main quantities characterising the dynamics of the KCMs. The first one is the relaxation time Trel(q; U ) of the generator L, defined as the best constant C in the Poincar�e inequality
+
+Var(f ) CD(f ) for all local f,
+
+(4.1)
+
+where
+
+D(f )
+
+=
+
+1 2
+
+x � cx Varx(f ) is the Dirichlet form associated to L. A finite relax-
+
+ation time implies that the reversible measure � is mixing for the semigroup Pt with
+
+16
+
+F. MARTINELLI AND C. TONINELLI
+
+exponentially decaying time auto-correlations,
+
+Var etLf
+
+e-t/Trel Var(f ),
+
+f  L2(�).
+
+The second (random) quantity is the first time the spin at the origin reaches the zero
+state: 0 = inf{t  0 : 0(t) = 0}.
+In the physics literature the hitting time 0 is usually referred to as the persistence time, while, in the bootstrap percolation framework, it would be more conveniently dubbed
+infection time.
+It is well known (cf. [9]) that for the FA-kf models Trel and E�(0) are finite for any q > 0, where E�(�) denotes the average w.r.t. the law of the stationary KCM. The methods of [9] together with the results of [3] also prove this result for GG model. Our
+aim is to compute the rate at which Trel and  diverge (the latter either in mean or with high probability w.r.t. the stationary KCM) as q  0. In order to compare our results to similar divergences found in bootstrap percolation models on the finite torus Zdn of side n, we first formally define, following [4], these processes and their critical behaviour.
+
+Definition 4.1 (The bootstrap process on Zdn). Given an update family U , a set A  Zdn and   {0, 1}Zdn such that x = 0 iff x  A, one sets recursively for t  N,
+At+1 = At  {x  Zdn : x + Uk  At for some k  [m]}, A0 = A. We then define the U -update closure of A the set
+[A]U =  t=0At. Definition 4.2. We say that A  Zdn is q-random and we will write Pq for its law, if A coincides with the set {x  Zdn : x = 0},   �. We then define the critical probability qc(n; U ) and the critical length Lc(q; U ) of the U -process as
+qc(n; U ) = inf{q : Pq([A]U = Zdn)  1/2}, Lc(q; U ) = min{n : qc(n, U ) = q}.
+
+4.1. Main result. We begin to recall what is known on the asymptotic scaling of the
+critical length Lc(q; U ), relaxation time Trel(q; U ) and hitting time 0 as q  0 for the FA-kf and GG models.
+For the FA-kf model in Zd it was proved in [2] (cf. the introduction there for a short
+account of previous relevant results) that for any d, k with d  k  2 there exists an explicit constant (d, k) such that
+
+Lc(q; U ) = exp(k-1)
+
+(d, k) + o(1) q1/(d-k+1)
+
+,
+
+(4.2)
+
+where exp(r) denotes the r-times iterated exponential, exp(r+1)(x) = exp(exp(r)(x)). For the GG model it was established [12] (see also [13] for a detailed analysis of the o(1) term below) that instead
+
+Lc(q; U ) = exp
+
+(log(1/q))2 12q
+
+(1
+
++
+
+o(1))
+
+.
+
+As far as the asymptotic behaviour Trel(q; U ) as q  0 is concerned, only the FA-kf model has been considered so far and the following bounds have been proved in [9]. There exists c > 0 such that
+
+Lc(q; U )1-o(1) Trel(q; U ) exp c/q5
+
+d = k = 2,
+
+Lc(q; U )1-o(1) Trel(q; U ) exp(d-1) c/q
+
+d  3, k d.
+
+Notice that the above upper bounds are very far from Lc(q; U ). In [9, Theorem 3.6] it was also proved that the large deviations of 0 can be controlled in terms of Trel(q; U ).
+More precisely it holds in great generality that
+
+P�(0  t) exp -cq t/Trel(q; U )
+for some c > 0 independent of q. In particular E�(0) = O(Trel(q; U )/q). A matching lower bound in terms of Trel(q; U ) was missing. Instead in [9, Section 6.3] a rather
+
+17
+
+general and simple argument, based on the so-called "finite speed of propagation", proved that, for all models considered here,
+
+E�(0)  Lc(q; U )1-o(1).
+
+In conclusion, while the control of the critical length Lc(q; U ) is rather sharp, the relaxation time Trel(q; U ) and the mean hitting time E�(0) are still poorly controlled. The main outcome of the theorem below is a much tighter connection between Trel(q; U ), and therefore E�(0), and Lc(q; U ).
+
+Theorem 4.3. For the FA-2f model in Zd and the GG model there exists  > 0 such that
+
+Trel(q; U ) = O Lc(q; U )log(1/q) .
+
+(4.3)
+
+For FA-kf model in Zd with 3 k d there exists c > (d, k) such that Trel(q; U ) exp(k-1) c/q1/(d-k+1) .
+
+(4.4)
+
+5. PROOF OF THEOREM 4.3
+
+5.0.1. Reader's guide and notation. The proof of the theorem uses all the machinery
+
+which was developed in the previous sections. Therefore, for all the above models, the
+
+coarse-grained probability space (S, �^) (cf. e.g. the beginning of Section 3.1) will be of
+
+the form S = {0, 1}V , with V =
+
+d i=1
+
+[ni]
+
+and
+
+�^
+
+the
+
+product
+
+Bernoulli(p)
+
+measure.
+
+The starting point of the proof is to make an appropriate choice for the value of
+
+n = (n1, . . . , nd) together with a working definition of the good and super-good events G1, G2  S and of the mapping G1  G2 (cf. Section 3) for each model. Clearly, in
+order to apply Theorem 3.2 and Corollary 3.9, our choice of (n, G1, G2) must ensure that the probabilities p1 = �^(G1) and p2 = �^(G2) satisfy the basic condition limq0(1 - p1) log(1/p2) 2 = 0 of Theorem 3.2. In the FA-kf models no direction plays a special
+role (it is a balanced model in the language of [20]) and therefore we choose ni = n for all i  [d]. In the GG the above symmetry is broken and we will need to distinguish
+
+between the two directions. This part of the proof is carried out in Part I (see below).
+
+The second part of the proof (cf. Part II below) involves defining appropriately the
+
+canonical paths appearing in Lemma 3.7 and 3.8 (see also Corollary 3.9) and bounding
+
+the corresponding length and congestion constants.
+
+Carrying out the above program could become particularly heavy from a notational
+
+point of view. Therefore we will sometimes adopt a more descriptive and informal approach. More specifically, given a configuration   {0, 1}Zd and a region   Zd,
+
+we will declare  empty (occupied) if    = 0 (1). While constructing the canonical
+
+paths appearing in Lemmas 3.7 and 3.8 we will say that we empty (fill)  if we flip to
+
+0 (1), one by one according to some preassigned schedule (i.e. an ordering of the to-do
+
+flips), all the occupied/empty sites of . It is important to emphasize that the schedules
+
+involved in the operations of emptying or filling a region will always be such that each
+
+spin flip dictated by the schedule will occur while fulfilling the specific constraint of
+
+each model. Schedules with this property will be dubbed legal schedules. A closely
+
+related notion is that of legal canonical path.
+
+Definition 5.1. Given a KCM let {cx}xZd be the corresponding family of constraints. A legal canonical path between two configurations ,  is a canonical path ,  ((1), (2), . . . , (m)) with the additional property that cx(i) ((i)) = 1 i  [m - 1], where x denotes the configuration obtained from  by flipping the value x and x(i) is the vertex such that (i+1) = ((i))x(i). We say that the canonical path is decreasing (increasing) if for any i  [m - 1] and any x  Zd x(i+1) x(i) (x(i+1)  x(i)).
+
+We now recall the notion of an internally spanned set which will play a crucial role in the definition of the good and super-good events.
+
+Definition 5.2 (Internally spanned). Consider a KCM with updating family U . Given   Zd and   {0, 1}Zd , we say that  is U -internally spanned (for ), and write  
+I(U , ), iff [{x   : x = 0}]U = . When the KCM is the FA-kf model in d dimensions
+
+18
+
+F. MARTINELLI AND C. TONINELLI
+
+we will sometimes write I(d, k, ) instead of I(U , ) and we will say that  is k-internally spanned.
+
+Remark 5.3. For the FA-kf model it is known that [6] for L  CLc(q; U ), L  N and C a large enough numerical constant,
+
+�^(I(d, k, [L]d)  1 - exp(-L/Lc(q; U )).
+
+(5.1)
+
+Clearly for any KCM the following holds. If  is such that the region  is U -internally spanned by  and  is the configuration equal to zero in  and equal to  elsewhere,
+then there exists a legal decreasing canonical path , which only uses flips inside . In particular the length of , is at most ||. By reversing the path we get a legal increasing path between  and .
+Before starting the actual proof, it will be useful to fix some additional notation. Given the hypercube  = [n]d and i  [d], we set Ei() = {x   : xj = 1, j = i} and we call it the ith-edge of 7 . Any (d - 1)-dimensional set of the form   {x : xi = j}, j  [n], will be called an i-slice and it will be denoted by Slj(; i). A generic i-frame Fj(; i), j  [n], is the (d - 2)-dimensional subset of Slj(; i) consisting of the vertices x such that xk = 1 for some k = i.

+5.1. Part I. Here we define the blocks of the coarse-grained analysis together with the good and super-good events and the mapping .
+
+5.1.1. The FA-kf model with k  3. Let  be the critical length for the FA-(k-1)f model in Zd-1 given by (4.2) with d  d - 1 and k  k - 1, and fix n = A log  with
+A > 2(d - 1) + 1 for all i  [d].
+
+Definition 5.4 (G1, G2, ). The good event G1 consists of all   S such that for all i  [d] every i-slice of V is (k - 1)-internally spanned. The super-good event G2 consists of all   G1 such that the first slice in any direction is empty. The mapping G1  G2 is defined by ()x = 0 if x  di=1Sl1(V ; i) and ()x = x otherwise.
+
+With the triple (G1, G2, ) we get immediately that
+
+(1 - p1) dn(1 - �^(I(d - 1, k - 1, [n]d-1))),
+
+p2 = �^(G2)  (1 - p1)qdnd-1 ,
+
+
+
+2 q
+
+dnd-1
+.
+
+Using (5.1) together with the definition of n, we get immediately that 1-p1 A-(A-1) log  so that limq0(1 - p1) log(1/p2) 2 = 0 for all A > 2d - 1.
+
+5.1.2. The FA-kf model with k = 2. In this case we choose V = i[d][ni] with ni =
+
+A q
+
+log(1/q)
+
+1/(d-1)
+
+with
+
+A > 3/(d - 1).
+
+Definition 5.5 (G1, G2, ). The good event G1 consists of all   S such that, for all i  [d] every i-slice of V contains at least one empty vertex. The super-good event G2 consists of all   G1 such that any i-edge of V is empty. The mapping G1  G2 is defined by ()x = 0 if x  dj=1Ej and ()x = x otherwise.
+
+As before we easily get
+
+1 - p1 = �^(Gc1)
+
+dn(1 - q)nd-1
+
+dnqA, p2 = �^(G2)  qnd, 
+
+2nd qnd
+
+,
+
+where 2nd is the number of possible configurations   {0, 1}iEi. In particular, for all A > 3/(d - 1), limq0(1 - p1) log(1/p2) 2 = 0.
+
+7Strictly speaking an edge of V is a set of the form {x  V : xj  {1, n} j = i}. Here we will only need edges with one end-point at the vertex (1, . . . , 1).

+
+Definition 5.6. We say that   G1 if all columns of V = [n1] � [n2] contain at least one empty vertex and all rows contain at least one pair of adjacent empty vertices (x, x). We say that   G2 if   G1 and the first two adjacent columns of V are empty. The mapping  is the one which empties the first two columns of V .
+
+Again we easily obtain that
+
+1 - p1 = O q(A-2)/2 log(1/q) ,
+
+p2 = O

+exp
+
+-
+
+2A q
+
+log(1/q)2
+
+,
+
+ = O 22n2 /q2n2 .
+
+so that limq0(1 - p1) log(1/p2) 2 = 0 for A > 6. Notice that for all models the factor /p42 d|V | appearing in Corollary 3.9 is bounded
+from above by the r.h.s. of (4.3) and (4.4).
+
+5.2. Part II. Here we complete the proof of Theorem 4.3 by defining the canonical paths appearing in Lemmas 3.7 and 3.8 in such a way that:
+(a) they are legal canonical paths; (b) the congestion constants A, B and the maximum length of the paths NA, NB are
+such that max (ANa, BNB) is bounded from above by r.h.s. of (4.3) for the FA-2f and the GG models and by the r.h.s. of (4.4) for the FA-kf model, k  3.
+A very useful strategy to carry out this program is based on the following simple result.
+
+Lemma 5.7. Fix  and let 1, 2, . . . , N be N regions with the property that, for any j and k = j � 1, if we empty j then we can also empty k by means of a legal schedule using only flips in k. Assume that  is such that 1 is empty and let  be obtained from  by emptying N . Then there exists a legal canonical path , = ((1), . . . , (m)), m 2 i |i|, such that for any j  [m] the following holds. If the configuration (j+1) is obtained from (j) by flipping a vertex in kj then all the discrepancies (i.e. the vertices
+where they differ) between  and (j) are contained in kj-1  kj  kj+1 if kj < N and in N-1  N if kj = N .
+
+Proof. By assumption we can first empty 2 and then 3 by using flips first in 2 and then in 3. Let  be the new configuration and let  be the configuration obtained from  by emptying 3. We can then restore the original values of  in 2 by reversing the legal canonical path ,. Starting from  we can iteratively repeat the above procedure and get a final legal canonical path , with the required property.
+
+Remark 5.8. The fact that the discrepancies between an intermediate step of the path (j)
+
+and the starting configuration  are contained in a triple of consecutive i's allows us
+
+to easily upper bound the congestion constant  := sup~
+
+: , ~
+
+�() �(~ )
+
+of
+
+the
+
+family
+
+{, }S by (2/q)maxi(|i-2|+|i-1|+|i|). This observation will be the main tool to bound
+
+the congestion constants A, B appearing in Corollary 3.9.
+
+5.2.1. The FA-kf model with k  3. As before set V = [n]d with n as in Section 5.1.1.
+
+The proof is based on a series of simple observations which, under certain natural
+
+assumptions, ensure the existence of legal canonical paths with some prescribed prop-
+
+erties.
+
+Claim 5.9. Let  be a configuration such that the i-slice Slj(V ; i) is empty and the i-slice Slj-1(V ; i) is (k - 1)-internally spanned. Let  be such that   Slj-1(V ; i) = 0 and  coincides with  elsewhere. Then there is a legal decreasing canonical path , which uses only flips inside Sj-1(V ; i). Similarly if we replace Sj-1(V ; i) with Sj+1(V ; i).
+
+Proof. The result can be immediately proven by noticing that each site in Slj-1(V ; i) has an empty neighbour in Slj(V ; i). Since Slj-1(V ; i) is (k -1)-internally spanned, the legal (w.r.t. to the FA-(k-1)f constraint) monotone path which empties it is also legal
+w.r.t. the FA-kf constraint.
+
+Claim 5.10. Fix i  [d], m  [n] and let (, ) be a pair of configurations satisfying at least one of the following conditions:
+
+20
+
+F. MARTINELLI AND C. TONINELLI
+
+(a)  is such that the first i-slice is empty and all the others are (k - 1)-internally spanned and  is obtained from  by emptying the mth i-slice and the first m - 1 i-frames.
+(b)  is such that di=1Sl1(V ; i) is empty and  is obtained from  by emptying Slm(V ; i). Then there exists a legal canonical path , = ((1), (2), . . . , (N)) with N 2nd such that the only discrepancies between  and (j), j  [N ], belong to the set
+Slkj-1(V, i)  Slkj (V, i)  Slkj+1(V ; i)  k=j 1F(V ; i) ,
+where kj is such that the flip connecting (j) to (j+1) occurs in the kjth i-slice.
+Proof. Case (a). In this case we simply apply Lemma 5.7 and Claim 5.9 to the first m islices with a twist. After emptying the jth i-slice, j = 1, 2, . . . , m, instead of reconstructing the original values of  in the previous slice we do so only in Slj-1(V ; i)\Fj-1(V ; i). In such a way the i-frames once emptied remain so and we get to the final configuration  by a legal canonical path satisfying the required property.
+Case (b). We use again Lemma 5.7 and Claim 5.9. The base case k = 2, d = 2 follows by observing that the i-slices, i = 1, 2, are 1-internally spanned since they all contain an empty site. The case k = 2 and d > 2 follows by induction. In fact Sl2(V ; i) is of the form  � {xi = 2} with  isomorphic to [n]d-1. Moreover di=-11Sl1(; j) � {xi = 2}  dj=1Sl1(V ; j) and therefore it is empty by assumption. By the inductive hypothesis for k = 2, d - 1 we can empty Sl2(V ; i) using only flips inside Sl2(V ; i). This concludes the proof for k = 2 and any d  2. We thus assume the result true for (k - 1, d - 1) and prove it for (k, d), d  k. In this case we apply Lemma 5.7 to the regions j := Slj(V ; i)  di=1Sl1(V ; i) . For simplicity and w.l.o.g we only verify the assumption of the lemma for the pair 1, 2. In this case we aim at constructing a legal canonical path that empties Sl2(V ; i) using only flips there.
+Thus, using the inductive hypothesis and the fact that each site on Sl2(V ; i) has an additional empty neighbour in Sl1(V ; i), we can empty Sl2(V ; i) by a legal canonical path which uses flips only in Sl2(V ; i).
+We are now ready to state the main result for the case under consideration.
+
+Proposition 5.11. In the above setting there exists a choice of the canonical paths occurring in Lemmas 3.7 and 3.8 such that, for a suitable positive constant c,
+� each path is a legal canonical path and max(NA, NB) cnd; � max(A, B) (1/q)cnd-1 .
+
+Using that n = A log ,  being the critical length for the FA-(k-1)f model in Zd-1
+
+given by (cf. (4.2))
+
+ = exp(k-2)
+
+(d - 1, k - 1) + o(1) q1/(d-k+1)
+
+,
+
+the proposition implies that
+
+max(ANA, BNB) r.h.s. of (4.4), so that the conclusion of Theorem 4.3 for the case k  3 follows from Corollary 3.9.
+
+Proof of the proposition. We begin by examining the choice of the canonical paths ap-
+pearing in Lemma 3.8. Using the definition of the good and super-good events G1, G2
+given in Section 5.1.1, our choice for the canonical paths is the one dictated by (a) of Claim 5.10. In this case, using Remark 5.8, NB cnd and B (1/q)nd-1 for some constant c > 0.
+We now turn to the canonical paths appearing in Lemma 3.7. Fix  and z as in the
+lemma and observe that, using (b) of claim 5.10, we can empty all the slices Szi+1(V ; i), i  [d], via a legal schedule. Call  the configuration obtained in this way. In  we
+can make a flip at z since z has at least d empty neighbors. We can finally reverse the path from  to  to obtain our final legal canonical path between  and z. Claim 5.10 again implies that NAA cn2d1/qcnd-1 .
+
+21
+
+5.2.2. The FA-kf model with k = 2. As before set V = [n]d with n as in Section 5.1.2. For any x  V we define the cross at x as the set Cx(V ) := di=1Cx(V ; i) with
+Cx(V ; i) := {x  V : xj = xj j = i}.
+Notice that the cross of the vertex (1, 1, . . . , 1)  V is the union of the edges Ei(V ).
+Claim 5.12. Given x, y  V such that y = x � ei for some i  [d], let  be such that Cx(V ) is empty and let  be the configuration obtained from  by emptying the cross at y. Then there exists a legal decreasing canonical path , = ((1), . . . , (m)), m 2dn, using only flips in Cx(V )  Cy(V ).
+Proof. Since y = x + �ei then necessarily Cy(V ; i) = Cx(V ; i). Consider now the vertex z = y � ej with j = i. This vertex has two empty neighbors: one is y and another belongs to Cx(V ). Therefore z can be emptied. We can iterate until we empty the jth arm of the cross Cy(V ) and then repeat the procedure for all the remaining direction but the ith-one.
+
+As for the case k  3 we have:
+
+Proposition 5.13. In the above setting there exists a choice of the canonical paths occurring in Lemmas 3.7 and 3.8 such that, for a suitable positive constant c,
+� each path is a legal canonical path and max(NA, NB) cn2; � max(A, B) (1/q)cn.
+
+Using that n =
+
+A q
+
+log(1/q)
+
+1/(d-1), the
+
+proposition
+
+implies that
+
+max(ANA, BNB) r.h.s. of (4.3),
+
+so that the conclusion of Theorem 4.3 for the case k = 2 follows from Corollary 3.9.
+
+Proof of Proposition 5.13. We begin by examining the choice of the canonical paths appearing in Lemma 3.8. Fix  and suppose that we have two hypercubes V = [n]d and V  = V + (n + 1)e1 such that   V is good and   V  is super-good. Let also  be obtained from  by emptying the cross of the vertex (1, 1, . . . , 1)  V so that   V is super-good. Let now z(i) be the first (according to some apriori order) vertex in the (n-i+1)th 1-slice Sln-i+1(V ; 1) which is empty and let z�(i) = z(i) +e1. Observe that the vertex z�(i) belong to the same 1-slice of V as the vertex z(i-1) and that the vertex z(i) exists for all i  [n] because   V is good. Finally let  = (x(1), . . . x(m)), m n2, be the geometric path connecting x(1) := (1, . . . , 1) + ne1  V  with x(m) := (1, . . . , 1)  V
+constructed according to the following schedule:
+(a) join x(1) with z�(1) by first adjusting the second coordinate, then the third one etc; (b) join z�(1) to z(1); (c) repeat the above steps with x(1) replaced by z(1) and z�(1) by z�(2) etc.
+Next, for i  [m], let i be the cross Cx(i)(V (i)) where V (i) is the hypercube V + (x(1i) - 1)e1. Notice that x(i)  Sl1(V (i); 1). We claim that the above sets satisfy the assumption of Lemma 5.7. If the hypercubes V (i), V (i+1) are the same then the claim follows immediately from Claim 5.12. If V (i+1) = V (i) - e1 then necessarily the pair (x(i), x(i+1)) must be of the form (z�(j), z(j)) for some j and having the cross Cx(i)(V (i)) empty implies that also the cross Cx(i)(V (i+1)) is empty because, by assumption, z(j) = 0. Thus we can apply again Claim 5.12, this time in the hypercube V (i+1), and empty i+1. It is now a simple check to verify that the path defined in this way satisfy NB cn2 and B ecn for some constant c > 0.
+We now examine the canonical paths entering in Lemma 3.7. Let  be such that all the hypercubes V + ei, i  [d], are super-good, let z  V and let  be obtained from  by flipping z. W.l.o.g. we assume in the sequel that z = (1, . . . , 1).
+Let ~ be the intermediate configuration obtained from  by emptying the cross (in V ) of the vertex x(1) := (n, . . . , n). Using Lemma 5.12 it is easy to check that there exists a legal canonical path ,~ with a congestion constant  (1/q)cn for some constant c > 0. Next let  = (x(1), . . . , x(m)) be a geometric path connecting x(1) with
+
+22
+
+F. MARTINELLI AND C. TONINELLI
+
+the vertex z +
+
+d i=1
+
+ei
+
+and
+
+define
+
+i
+
+=
+
+Cx(i) (V
+
+).
+
+Using
+
+Claim
+
+5.12
+
+and
+
+the
+
+definition
+
+of
+
+~ the sets {i}mi=1 satisfy the assumption of Lemma 5.7. In conclusion we have proved
+
+the existence of a legal canonical path ,^ where ^ is obtained from  by emptying
+
+the cross of x(m). Now we can legally flip z and then reverse the path ,^ to finally
+
+get to  = z. In conclusion we have obtained a legal canonical path , and the
+
+claimed properties of NA and A follow at once from its explicit construction.
+
+5.2.3. The GG model. Recall that in this case the basic block V is the [n1] � [n2] rectangle, with n1, n2 as in Section 5.1.3. Moreover, given   {0, 1}V , the block V is good if every column contains an empty site and every row contains a pair of adjacent empty
+sites. It is super-good if it is good and the first two columns are empty.
+In this setting two basic observations will be at the basis of our definition of the canonical paths appearing in Lemmas 3.7 and 3.8. Fix an integer n together with   {0, 1}[4]�[n+1] and consider four consecutive columns Ci = {x = (i, j), j  [n]}, i  [4].
+(1) If C1, C2 are empty and C3 contains an empty site, then C3 can be emptied by a legal decreasing canonical path using only flips in C3. Similarly if the role of C1 and C3 is interchanged.
+(2) If C1, C2 are empty and the two vertices x = (3, n + 1) and y = (4, n + 1) above the 3th and 4th column are also empty, then C3 and C4 can be emptied by a legal decreasing canonical path using only flips in C3  C4. Similarly if the role of the pair (C1, C2) and (C3, C4) is interchanged and the sites x, y are replaced by x = (1, n + 1), y = (2, n + 1).
+Using the above we can prove our final proposition.
+
+Proposition 5.14. For the GG model there exists a choice of the canonical paths occurring
+in Lemmas 3.7 and 3.8 such that, for a suitable positive constant c,
+� each path is a legal canonical path and max(NA, NB) cn1n2; � max(A, B) (1/q)cn2 .
+Proof. We begin with the definition of the canonical paths appearing in Lemma 3.8 with, for simplicity, Vx = V and Vy = V  where V  is either V + (n1 + 1)e1 or V + (n2 + 1)e2. For simplicity we will not make any attempt to optimize our construction, i.e. to improve over the constant c above.
+In the first case, V  = V + (n1 + 1)e1, let   {0, 1}V V  be such that V is good and V  is super-good and let  be obtained from  by emptying the first two columns of V . Then we can use observation (1) above together with Lemma 5.7 to get that there exists a legal canonical path , of maximal length cn1n2 and congestion constant B (1/q)cn2 for some constant c > 0. Notice that in this case we didn't use the fact that if V is good then every row contains a pair of adjacent empty sites (cf. Figure 3).
+In the second case, V  = V + (n2 + 1)e2, for i  [n] define ai as the smallest integer j  [n - 1] such that x = (j, n - i + 1) and y = (j + 1, n - i + 1) are both empty. Using that V is good the integer ai is well defined. Let also i denotes the two semi-columns in V  V  above the vertices (ai, n - i + 1) and (ai + 1, n - i + 1) (cf. Figure 4).
+Using observation (1) together with Lemma 5.7 we can then obtain a legal canonical path between  and , whose length is at most cn1n2 and whose congestion constant is bounded from above by (1/q)cn2 for some c > 0 independent of i, as follows:
+(a) starting from the first two empty columns in V , we begin to empty 1. Then, starting from the two empty semi-columns 1  {a1, n}  {a1 + 1, n}, we empty the two sites x = (1, n), x = (2, n) while restoring the original values of  in all the other sites of V  V .
+(b) We now repeat the same procedure with 1 replaced by 2 and (x, x) replaced by x^ = (1, n - 1), x^ = (2, n - 1), starting from the two empty semi-columns obtained by adding to the first two columns of V  the empty sites (1, n), (2, n).
+(c) We iterate until reaching .

+empty sites on the top row of the bottom block. At this time their height
+grows by one unit. Later in the path this new pair of empty columns
+is moved above the first pair of adjacent empty sites on the next to top row of the bottom block and so forth until the 1st and 2nd columns of the bottom block become empty.
+
+It remains to consider the construction of the canonical paths appearing in Lemma 3.7
+and for that we use both (1) and (2) above.
+Fix  such that V1 := V + (n1 + 1)e1 and V2 := V + (n2 + 1)e2 are super-good, let z  V and let  = z. For simplicity and w.l.o.g. we assume z = (1, 1). We can then obtain a legal canonical path between  and  with the required properties as follows:
+(a) by combining observation (1) with Lemma 5.7 we first empty the last two columns
+of V2 without doing any flip inside V  V1; (b) at this stage the last two columns of V2 are empty because of (a) and the first two
+columns of V1 are also empty because V1 was super-good. Thus, using observation (2), we empty the last two columns of V ; (c) finally we restore the original configuration in V2 by reverting the path in the first step. (d) We repeat the above three steps with a twist: we first empty the 4th and 3rd last column of V2, then the 4th and 3rd last column of V . We then restore the original

Assuming that the path has been able to empty the two black columns of V , then it is possible to move these two columns one step further to the left as follows. First move the initial pair of double empty columns in V2 to the new position encircled by the dashed ellipse, then, starting with the vertex z, empty the dashed black column in V and finally restore the original values of  to the right of x and then in V2.

+configuration  in the last two columns of V and, subsequently, we finally restore
+ in V2. We have now reached the intermediate configuration obtained from  by emptying the 4th and 3rd last column of V .
+(e) We iterate the above step until reaching the configuration obtained from  by emptying the 2nd and 3rd column of V .
+(f) Finally, using again (2) above and Lemma 5.7, we empty the vertex (1, 2). At this
+stage we can do a flip in the corner (1, 1) since the vertices (1, 2), (2, 1) and (3, 1)
+are all empty.
+(g) The final step is to retrace the steps of the path which emptied (1, 2) and then those of the path which emptied the 2nd and 3rd column of V in such a way that we end up in the configuration .

+ELASTIC SPLINES II: UNICITY OF OPTIMAL S-CURVES AND G2 REGULARITY OF SPLINES
+Albert Borb�ely & Michael J. Johnson
+Abstract. Given points P1, P2, . . . , Pm in the complex plane, we are concerned with the problem of finding an interpolating curve with minimal bending energy (i.e., an optimal interpolating curve). It was shown previously that existence is assured if one requires that the pieces of the interpolating curve be s-curves. In the present article we also impose the restriction that these s-curves have chord angles not exceeding /2 in magnitude. With this setup, we have identified a sufficient condition for the G2 regularity of optimal interpolating curves. This sufficient condition relates to the stencil angles {j }, where j is defined as the angular change in direction from segment [Pj-1, Pj ] to segment [Pj, Pj+1]. A distinguished angle  ( 37) is identified, and we show that if the stencil angles satisfy |j | < , then optimal interpolating curves are globally G2.
+As with the previous article, most of our effort is concerned with the geometric Hermite interpolation problem of finding an optimal s-curve which connects P1 to P2 with prescribed chord angles (, ). Whereas existence was previously shown, and sometimes uniqueness, the present article begins by establishing uniqueness when || , ||  /2 and | - | < .
+1. Introduction
+Given points P1, P2, . . . , Pm in the complex plane C with Pj = Pj+1, we are concerned with the problem of finding a fair curve which interpolates the given points. The present contribution is a continuation of [3] and so we adopt much of the notation used there. In particular, an interpolating curve is an absolutely-continuously differentiable function F : [a, b]  C, with F  non-vanishing, for which there exist times a = t1 < t2 < � � � < tm = b such that F (tj) = Pj. We treat F as a curve consisting of m - 1 pieces; the j-th piece of F , denoted F[tj,tj+1], runs from Pj to Pj+1. It is known (see [2]) that there does not exist an interpolating curve with minimal bending energy, except in the trivial case when the interpolation points lie sequentially along a line. In [3], it was shown that existence is assured if one imposes the additional condition that each piece of the interpolating curve be an s-curve. Here, an s-curve is a curve which first turns monotonically at most 180 in one direction (either counter-clockwise or clockwise) and then turns monotonically at

+most 180 in the opposite direction. Incidentally, a c-curve is an s-curve which turns in
+
+only one direction, and a u-turn is a c-curve which turns a full 180. Associated with an
+
+s-curve f : [a, b]  C (see Fig. 1) are its breadth L = |f (b) - f (a)| and chord angles

+
+Note that although the chord angles are signed, our figures only indicate their magnitudes.
+
+The chord angles (, ) of an s-curve necessarily satisfy
+
+(1.1)
+
+||, || <  and | - |  .
+
+Defining
+
+A(P1, P2, . . . , Pm)
+
+to be the set of all interpolating curves whose pieces are s-curves, the main result of [3] is
+
+that A(P1, P2, . . . , Pm) contains a curve (called an elastic spline) with minimal bending
+
+energy. Most of the effort in [3] is devoted to proving the existence of optimal s-curves.
+
+Specifically, it is shown that given distinct points P, Q and angles (, ) satisfying (1.1),
+
+the set of all s-curves from P to Q with chord angles (, ) contains a curve with minimal
+
+bending energy.
+
+Denoting the bending energy of such an optimal s-curve by
+
+1 L
+
+E(,
+
+),
+
+it is also shown that E(, ) depends continuously on (, ). In the constructive proof
+
+of existence, all optimal s-curves are described, but uniqueness is only proved in the case
+
+when the optimal curve is a c-curve, but not a u-turn. An optimal s-curve is of Form 1
+
+(resp. Form 2) if it does not (resp. does) contain a u-turn. Optimal s-curves of Form 1
+
+are either line segments or segments of rectangular elastica (see Fig. 1 (a)) while those of
+
+Form 2 (see Fig. 1 (b)) contain a u-turn of rectangular elastica along with, possibly, line
+
+segments and a c-curve of rectangular elastica.
+
+Elastic splines were computed in a computer program Curve Ensemble, written in con-
+
+junction with [9], and it was observed that the fairness of elastic splines can be significantly
+
+degraded when pieces of Form 2 arise. As a remedy, it was suggested that elastic splines
+
+be further restricted by requiring that chord angles of pieces satisfy
+
+(1.2)
+
+|| , ||
+
+
+
+ 2
+
+.
+
+This additional restriction, which is stronger than (1.1), also greatly simplifies the numerical computation and theoretical development, and for these reasons, we have elected to
+
+UNICITY OF OPTIMAL S-CURVES AND G2 REGULARITY OF SPLINES
+
+3
+
+adopt this restriction and so define
+
+A/2(P1, P2, . . . , Pm)
+to be the set of curves in A(P1, P2, . . . , Pm) whose pieces have chord angles satisfying (1.2). Curves in A/2(P1, P2, . . . , Pm) with minimal bending energy are called restricted elastic splines.
+In Section 3, we show that if (1.2) holds and (, )  {(/2, -/2), (-/2, /2)}, then the optimal s-curve from P to Q, with chord angles (, ), is unique and of Form 1. The omitted cases correspond to u-turns (see Fig. 2 (a)) which fail to be unique only because one can always extend a u-turn with line segments without affecting optimality. Nevertheless, the u-turn of rectangular elastica (see Fig. 2 (b)) is the unique C optimal s-curve when (, )  {(/2, -/2), (-/2, /2)}. We mention, belatedly, that the optimality of the u-turn of rectangular elastica was first proved by Linn�er and Jerome [11].
+
+Fig. 2 (a) optimal u-turn
+
+(b) u-turn of rectangular elastica.
+
+With unicity of optimal s-curves in hand, we can then appeal to the framework developed
+
+in [9] for assistance in proving existence and G2-regularity of restricted elastic splines. The
+
+following will be proved in Section 4.
+
+Proposition 1.1. The set A/2(P1, P2, . . . , Pm) contains a curve Fopt with minimal bend-
+ing energy. Moreover, if F  A/2(P1, P2, . . . , Pm) has minimal bending energy, then each piece of F is G2.
+
+Remark. When discussing geometric curves, the notions of geometric regularity, G1 and G2, are preferred over the more familiar notions of parametric regularity, C1 and C2. A curve F has G1 regularity if its unit tangent direction changes continuously with respect to arclength and it has G2 regularity if, additionally, its signed curvature changes continuously with arclength. By our definition of curve (given at the outset), all curves are G1, but not necessarily G2.
+The main concern of the present contribution is to identify conditions under which a restricted elastic spline Fopt will be globally G2. This direction of inquiry is motivated by a result of Lee & Forsyth [10] (see also Brunnett [4]) which says that if an interpolating curve
+F has bending energy which is locally minimal (i.e., minimal among all `nearby' interpolating curves), then F is globally G2. The proofs in [10] and [4] employ variational calculus,
+but we prefer the constructive approach of [9] for its clarity and generality. We now explain our results on G2 regularity assuming that Fopt is a curve in A/2(P1, P2, . . . , Pm) having minimal bending energy. Note that it does not follow from Proposition 1.1 that Fopt is globally G2 because it is possible for the signed curvature to have jump discontinuities
+across the interior nodes P2, P3, . . . , Pm-1. The following is a consequence of Theorem 4.4.

+than
+

+
+in
+
+magnitude, then Fopt is globally G2.
+
+Proposition 1.1 and Corollary 1.2 are analogous to results of Jerome and Fisher [7, 8, 5] in that first additional constraints are imposed in order to ensure existence of an optimal curve, and then it is shown that if these additional constraints are inactive, the optimal curve is globally G2 and its pieces are segments of rectangular elastica. These results are a good start, but they are not entirely satisfying because they shed no light on whether one can expect the added constraints to be inactive.
+Our experience using the program Curve Ensemble is that the hypothesis of Corollary 1.2 holds when the interpolation points {Pj} impose only mild changes in direction. This vague idea can be quantified in terms of the stencil angles {j} (see Fig. 3), defined by
+
+j
+
+:=
+
+arg
+
+Pj+1 Pj -
+
+- Pj Pj-1
+
+,
+
+j = 2, 3, . . . , m - 1.
+
+Fig. 3 the stencil angle j
+
+Fig. 4 a globally G2 restricted elastic spline
+
+The following is a consequence of Theorem 4.6.
+
+Corollary 1.3. Let  ( 37) be the positive angle defined in (4.2). If the stencil angles satisfy |j| <  for j = 2, 3, . . . , m - 1, then the hypothesis of Corollary 1.2 holds and consequently Fopt is globally G2.
+
+For example, the stencil angles in Fig. 4 are all less than  and therefore it follows from Corollary 1.3 that the shown restricted elastic spline is globally G2.
+An outline of the remainder of the paper is as follows. In Section 2, we summarize some notation from [3] which is needed here, and then in Section 3, as mentioned above, we address the unicity of optimal s-curves. The proofs of our results on G2 regularity are complicated by the fact that they are obtained by combining a variety of related results, and so, for the sake of readability, we will `prove' these results in Section 4, but leave the proofs of two key identities, namely (4.1) and (4.3), to later sections. Furthermore, the proofs given in Section 4 make essential use of the framework established in [9], and so Section 4 begins by defining a basic curve method, called Restricted Elastic Splines, which fits into the framework of [9]. Identities (4.1) and (4.3) are proved in sections 7 and 8, but these proofs require a great deal of preparation (sections 5,6) relating to the chord angles of parametrically defined segments of rectangular elastica. In addition to supporting the proofs in sections 7,8, the preparations done in sections 5,6 are also useful in the efficient numerical computation of restricted elastic splines.

+
+2. Summary of Notation
+
+The present contribution uses the same notation as in [3]; we summarize it here. As mentioned above, a curve is a function f : [a, b]  C whose derivative f  is absolutely
+continuous and non-vanishing. The bending energy of f is defined by
+
+f
+
+2
+
+:=
+
+1 4
+
+L
+2 ds,
+0
+
+where L denotes the arclength of f and  its signed curvature (the unusual factor 1/4
+
+is used to simplify some formulae related to rectangular elastica). Let g : [c, d]  C
+
+be another curve. We say that f and g are equivalent if they have the same arclength
+
+parametrizations. They are directly similar if there exists a linear transformation T (z) =
+
+c1z+c2 (c1, c2  C) such that f and T g are equivalent; if |c1| = 1, they are called directly
+
+congruent. The notions of similar and congruent are the same except that T is allowed
+
+to have the form T (z) = c1z + c2, where z denotes the complex conjugate of z.
+
+As mentioned earlier, we call f an s-curve if it first turns monotonically at most
+
+180 in one direction and then turns at most 180 in the opposite direction. An s-curve
+
+which turns in only one direction is called a c-curve and a c-curve which turns a full
+
+180 is called a u-turn. A non-degenerate s-curve is called a left-right s-curve if it
+
+first turns clockwise and then turns counter-clockwise; otherwise it is called a right-left
+
+s-curve. S-curves are often associated with a geometric Hermite interpolation problem,
+
+and so to facilitate this we employ the unit tangent vectors u = (f (a), f (a)/|f (a)|) and
+
+v = (f (b), f (b)/|f (b)|) to say that f connects u to v. If g : [c, d]  C is a curve
+
+satisfying (g(c), g(c)/|g(c)|) = (f (b), f (b)/|f (b)|), then f  g denotes the concatenated
+
+curve which, for the sake of clarity, is assumed to have the arclength parametrization.
+
+Most of the s-curves which we will encounter are segments of rectangular elastica; our
+
+preferred parametrization is R(t)
+
+=
+
+sin t+i (t), where (t) is defined by
+
+d dt
+
+=
+
+sin2 t , 1 + sin2 t
+
+(0) = 0. One easily verifies that  is odd and satisfies (t + ) = d + (t), where d := ().
+
+Since the sine function is odd and 2-periodic, we conclude that R(t) is odd and satisfies
+
+R(t + 2) = i 2d + R(t). For later reference, we mention the following.
+
+|R(t)| =
+
+1

+

+R(t) |R(t)|

+
+3. Unicity of optimal s-curves
+
+Let ,   (-, ] and set u = (0, ei) and v = (1, ei). The set S(, ), defined to be the set of all s-curves connecting u to v, was intensely studied in [3], and it is easy to verify that S(, ) is non-empty if and only if (, )  F , where
+
+F := {(, ) : || , || <  and | - |  }.
+
+It is shown in [3] that if S(, ) is non-empty, then S(, ) contains a curve with minimal bending energy; that is, there exists a curve fopt  S(, ) such that fopt 2  f 2 for
+all f  S(, ). The bending energy of fopt is denoted
+
+(3.1)
+
+E(, ) := fopt 2, (, )  F .
+
+Let Sopt(, ) denote the set of all arclength parameterized curves in S(, ) whose bending
+
+energy is minimal. In [3], every curve in Sopt(, ) is `described', but uniqueness is only
+
+established in a few cases. In the present section, we obtain uniqueness results (Theorem
+
+3.1)
+
+for
+
+the

+
+(iii) If (, ) = (0, 0), then there exist t1 < t2 < t1 + 2 such that c1(, ) is directly
+
+similar to R[t1,t2].
+
+Since the bending energy of a curve is invariant under translations, rotations, reflections
+and reversals (of orientation), when proving items (i) and (ii), we can additionally assume,
+without loss of generality, that   ||. This reduction is also valid for item (iii) since
+R[t1+,t2+] is directly congruent to reflections of R[t1,t2] and R[-t2,-t1] is directly congruent to the reversal of R[t1,t2]. Our proof of Theorem 3.1 uses some definitions and results from [3] which are posed assuming

+(3.2)

+
+If   0, then all curves in S(, ) are non-degenerate right-left s-curves and so the same is true of Sopt(, ). In contrast, if  < 0 then S(, ) contains right c-curves as well as non-degenerate s-curves (both right-left and left-right). Nevertheless, it turns out that
+the curves in Sopt(, ) are all of the same flavor. The discriminating factor, when  < 0, is the quantity ():
+If () > 0, then all curves in Sopt(, ) are non-degenerate right-left s-curves, while if ()  0, then the unique curve in Sopt(, ) is a right c-curve.
+Regarding the latter case, we have the following which follows from [3, Theorem 6.2].
+
+Theorem 3.2. Let (3.2) be in force and assume that  < 0 and ()  0. Then there exists a unique C curve c(, ) such that Sopt(, ) = {c(, )}. Furthermore, there exist - < t1 < t2  0 such that c(, ) is directly similar to R[t1,t2].
+The following lemma and proposition are consequences of [3, Lemma 5.11] and [3, Corollary 5.12 and Remark 5.10], respectively.
+
+Lemma 3.3. Assume (3.2). The function G :   (0, ) is continuously differentiable,
+
+has

+
+
+
+ .
+
+Proposition 3.4. Let (3.2) be in force and in case  < 0, assume () > 0. Suppose that there exists   , with  >  - , such that G is uniquely minimized at  (i.e., G() = Gmin and G() > Gmin for all   \{}). Then () = 0 and there exists a unique C curve c(, ) such that Sopt(, ) = {c(, )}. Moreover, E(, ) = Gmin and c(, ) is directly similar to R[t1,t2], where - < t1 < 0 < t2 <  are uniquely determined by arg R(t1) =  -  and arg R(t2) =  - .
+Remark. That the above conditions arg R(t1) = - and arg R(t2) =  - do determine - < t1 < 0 < t2 <  uniquely can be verified by first noting that arg R(t) decreases continuously from  to 0, as t runs from - to 0, and then increases continuously back up to  as t runs from 0 to . Now, since (3.2) holds,   , and  >  - , it follows that 0 <  -  <  and 0   -  < . What remains is to show that 0 <  - . If   0, then 0 <  -  is clear since  < 0. If  < 0, then we cannot have  =  because () > 0 while () = 0; therefore, 0 <  - .
+We now begin the proof of Theorem 3.1, and, as mentioned above, it suffices to prove the theorem in the canonical case when (, )  [-/2, /2]2 satisfy   ||. We begin with two specific cases.

+Proof of Theorem 3.1 in case (, ) = (0, 0). In this case, it is easy to verify that Sopt(0, 0) contains only the line segment from 0 to 1.

+
+Having proved Theorem 3.1 in these two specific cases, we proceed assuming that
+
+(3.3)
+
+  (0, /2], ||  ,  > -/2,
+
+and we note that (3.3) implies (3.2).
+Lemma 3.5. Assume (3.3) and let   . The following hold. (i) If (, ) = (/2, /2) and   -/2 , then () < 0. (ii) If (, ) = (/2, /2), then (-/2) = 0 but there exists  > 0 such that () < 0 for all   (-/2, -/2 + ]. (iii) If () = 0 and -/2 <  < , then () > 0.
+Proof. We first note that y1 > 0, y2  0, and  is continuous on . And since both sin( - ) and sin( - ) are positive for  in the interior o := ( - , )  (-, 0), it follows that  is C1 on o. Defining H() := y1 + y2,   , we have
+
+H
+

+
+sin( - ) ,
+
+H  ( )
+
+=
+
+1 4
+
+cos( - ) + cos( - ) sin( - ) sin( - )
+
+and it follows that H is C1 on  and C2 on o. Moreover, we note that H is positive on , while H() < 0 for all    except when - =  =  = /2. We can express  in
+terms of H as
+
+(3.4)
+
+()H() = cos H() - 2 sin H(),   ,
+
+and then differentiation yields (3.5) ()H() + ()H() = - sin H() - cos H() - 2 sin H(),   o.
+
+We first prove (i): Assume (, ) = (/2, /2) and   -/2. Then H() > 0, cos   0, H() < 0 and sin  < 0, and it follows easily from (3.4) that () < 0. We next prove (ii): Assume (, ) = (/2, /2). Then  = [-/2, 0) and it is clear from the definition of  that (-/2) = 0. In order to prove (ii), it suffices to show that ()  - as   -/2+. Now, H(-/2) > 0, H(-/2) = 0, but H()  - as   -/2+. It therefore follows from (3.5) that ()  - as   -/2+. Lastly, we prove (iii): Assume () = 0 and -/2 <  < . Since () = 0 and cos  > 0,
+it follows from the definition of  that y1 + y2 = - tan  sin( - ) + sin( - ) ; that is, H() = 2 tan H(). Substituting this into (3.5) then yields
+()H() = - sin  (2 tan H() + 2H()) - cos H()
+= - 1 tan  (4 sin H() + 4 cos H()) - cos H() 2
+Since H(), -H(), - sin , and cos  are positive, in order to prove that () > 0, it suffices to show that 4 sin H() + 4 cos H() is nonnegative. Using the above formulations for H() and H() and the identity cos(x + y) = cos x cos y - sin x sin y,
+
+UNICITY OF OPTIMAL S-CURVES AND G2 REGULARITY OF SPLINES

+
+it is easy to verify that 2 sin H() + 4 cos H() =  cos  +  cos  . Hence,

+Proof of Theorem 3.1 in case (3.3) holds and  < 0. If ()  0, then Theorem 3.1 is an immediate consequence of Theorem 3.2; so assume that () > 0. Note that  = [ - , ] and, by Lemma 3.5 (i), () < 0 for all   [ - , -/2]. Since  is continuous and () > 0, it follows that there exists   (-/2, ) such that () = 0. It follows from Lemma 3.5 (iii) that  is the only   (-/2, ) where  vanishes. Therefore, () < 0 for   [ - , ) and () > 0 for   (, ]. It now follows from Lemma 3.3 that G is uniquely minimized at  and we obtain Theorem 3.1 as a consequence of Proposition 3.4.
+
+Proof of Theorem 3.1 in case (3.3) holds and   0. Note that  = [ - , 0). It follows from Lemma 3.5 (i) and (ii), and the continuity of , that there exists  > 0 such that () < 0 for all   ( - , -/2 + ]. From the definition of , it is clear that lim0- () = 1, and hence there exists   (-/2 + , 0) such that () = 0. As in the previous case, it follows from Lemma 3.3 that G is uniquely minimized at  and we obtain Theorem 3.1 as a consequence of Proposition 3.4.
+
+This completes the proof of Theorem 3.1.
+
+4. The Restricted Elastic Spline and Proofs of Main Results
+
+Although written specifically for s-curves which connect u = (0, ei) to v = (1, ei),
+
+Theorem 3.1 easily extends to general configurations (u, v). To see this, let u = (P1, d1)
+
+and v = (P2, d2) be two unit tangent vectors with distinct base points P1 = P2. The
+
+chord
+
+angles
+
+(, )
+
+determined
+
+by
+
+(u, v)
+
+are
+
+
+
+=
+
+arg
+
+d1 P2-P1
+
+and
+
+
+
+=
+
+arg
+
+d2 P2-P1
+
+.
+
+With
+
+S(u, v) denoting the set of s-curves which connect u to v, and defining T (z) := (P2 -
+
+P1)z + P1, we see that S(u, v) is in one-to-one correspondence with S(, ) (defined in
+
+Section 3): f  S(, ) if and only if T  f  S(u, v). Moreover, with L := |P2 - P1|,
+
+we have
+
+f
+
+2=
+
+1 L
+
+T f
+
+2.
+
+Now, let us assume that ||, ||  /2 and let c1(, ) be
+
+the optimal arc-length parametrized curve described in Theorem 3.1. Then T  c1(, ) is
+
+an optimal curve in S(u, v) having constant speed L (not necessarily 1), and so we define
+
+c(u, v) to be the arclength parametrized curve which is equivalent to T  c1(, ). With
+
+Sopt(u, v) denoting the set of arclength parametrized curves in S(u, v) having minimal
+
+bending energy, Theorem 3.1 translates immediately into the following.
+
+Corollary
+
+4.1.
+
+Let
+
+(u, v)
+
+be
+
+a
+
+configuration
+
+with
+
+chord
+
+angles
+
+(, )
+
+
+
+[-
+
+ 2
+
+,
+
+ 2
+
+]2.
+
+Then
+
+c(u, v) is the unique C curve in Sopt(u, v). Moreover, the following hold.
+
+(i) If | - | < , then Sopt(u, v) = {c(u, v)}.
+
+(ii) If | - | = , then every curve in Sopt(u, v) is C2.
+
+(iii) c(u, v) is directly similar to c1(, ) and
+
+c(u, v)
+
+2
+
+=
+
+1 L
+
+c1(, )
+
+.
+
+In the framework of [9], the curves {c(u, v)} are called basic curves and the mapping (u, v)  c(u, v) is called a basic curve method. We define the energy of basic curves
+
+10
+
+ELASTIC SPLINES II
+
+to be the bending energy. In [9], it is assumed that the basic curve method and energy
+
+are translation and rotation invariant, and this allows one's attention to be focused on the
+
+(canonical) case where u = (0, ei) and v = (L, ei), L > 0. The resulting basic curve
+
+and energy functional are denoted cL(, ) and EL(, ). In our setup, we have the two
+
+additional
+
+properties
+
+that
+
+cL(, )
+
+is
+
+equivalent
+
+to
+
+Lc1(, )
+
+and
+
+EL(, )
+
+=
+
+1 L
+
+E1(,
+
+),
+
+where the latter holds because
+
+EL(, ) :=
+
+cL(, ) 2 =
+
+Lc1(, )
+

+
+=
+
+1 L
+
+c1(, )
+
+2
+
+=
+
+1 L
+
+E1
+
+(,
+
+
+
+).
+
+In the language of [9], we would say that the basic curve method is scale invariant and
+
+the energy functional is inversely proportional to scale. This special case is addressed in
+
+detail in [9, sec. 3], and it allows us to focus our attention on the case L = 1 where we
+
+have,

+for

+

+

+

+
+where
+
+E(, ) is defined in (3.1). The distinction between E1 and E is that the domain of E1 is
+
+[-
+
+ 2
+
+,
+
+ 2
+
+]2,
+
+while
+
+the
+

+
+is
+
+the
+
+larger
+
+set
+
+F
+
+(defined
+
+just
+
+above
+
+(3.1)).
+
+In
+
+[3,
+
+sec.
+
+7], it is shown that E is continuous on F and it therefore follows that E1 is continuous on
+
+[-
+
+ 2
+
+,
+
+ 2
+
+]2.
+
+The framework of [9] is concerned with the set A/2(P1, P2, . . . , Pm) consisting of all
+
+interpolating curves whose pieces are basic curves, and the energy of such an interpolating
+
+curve F = c(u1, u2)  c(u2, u3)  � � �  c(um-1, um) is define to be the sum of the energies
+
+of its constituent basic curves: Energy(F ) :=
+
+m-1 j=1
+
+c(uj , uj+1) 2 =
+
+F 2. Note that
+
+A/2(P1, P2, . . . , Pm) is a subset of A/2(P1, P2, . . . , Pm) and energy in both sets is defined to be bending energy. Since E1 is continuous on [-/2, /2]2, it follows from [9, Th. 2.3]
+
+that there exists a curve in A/2(P1, P2, . . . , Pm) with minimal bending energy.
+
+Remark. Whereas curves in A(P1, P2, . . . , Pm) with minimal bending energy are called
+elastic splines, such curves in A/2(P1, P2, . . . , Pm) are called restricted elastic splines. The following lemma will be needed in our proof of Proposition 1.1.
+
+Lemma 4.2. Given F  A/2(P1, P2, . . . , Pm), let u1, u2, . . . , um be the unit tangent vectors, with base-points P1, P2, . . . , Pm, determined by F , and define
+
+F := c(u1, u2)  c(u2, u3)  � � �  c(um-1, um)  A/2(P1, P2, . . . , Pm).
+
+Then
+
+F 2
+
+2
+F.
+
+The proof of the lemma is simply that the j-th piece of F has bending energy at least c(uj, uj+1) 2 because it belongs to S(uj, uj+1) while c(uj, uj+1) belongs to Sopt(uj, uj+1).
+
+Proof of Proposition 1.1. Since A/2(P1, P2, . . . , Pm) is a subset of A/2(P1, P2, . . . , Pm) and the former contains a curve with minimal bending energy, it follows immediately from
+Lemma 4.2 that the latter contains a curve with minimal bending energy. Now, assume
+F  A/2(P1, P2, . . . , Pm) has minimal bending energy, and let F be as in Lemma 4.2. Then F 2 = F 2 and we must have F[tj,tj+1] 2 = c(uj , uj+1) 2 for j = 1, 2, . . . , m - 1.
+
+UNICITY OF OPTIMAL S-CURVES AND G2 REGULARITY OF SPLINES
+
+11
+
+Hence F[tj,tj+1] is equivalent to a curve in Sopt(uj, uj+1) and it follows from Theorem 3.1 that F[tj,tj+1] is G2.
+The following definition is taken from [9, sec. 3].
+
+Definition. Let F  A/2(P1, P2, . . . , Pm) have minimal bending energy and let (j, j+1) be the chord angles of the the j-th piece of F . We say that F is conditionally G2 if F is G2 across Pj whenever the two chord angles associated with node Pj satisfy |j|, |j| < /2.
+Let a(f ) and b(f ) denote, respectively, the initial and terminal signed curvatures of a curve f . The following result is an amalgam of [9, Th. 3.3 and Th. 3.5].

+
+In the following sections, culminating in Theorem 7.1, we will show that condition (4.1)
+
+holds with � = 2. Together, Theorem 4.3 and Theorem 7.1 imply that minimal energy
+
+curves in A/2(P1, P2, . . . , Pm) are conditionally G2; we can now prove that this also holds for the larger set A/2(P1, P2, . . . , Pm).
+
+Theorem 4.4. Let F  A/2(P1, P2, . . . , Pm) have minimal bending energy. Then F is G2 across Pj (i.e., b(F[tj-1,tj]) = a(F[tj,tj+1])) whenever the two chord angles associated
+with node Pj satisfy |j|, |j| < /2.
+
+Proof. Let F  A/2(P1, P2, . . . , Pm) be as in Lemma 4.2, and let j  {2, 3, . . . , m - 1} be such that |j|, |j| < /2. By Theorem 4.3 and Theorem 7.1, F is G2 across Pj. The chord angles of the j-th piece of F are (j, j+1) and since |j| < /2, we must have |j+1 - j| <  and it follows from Corollary 4.1 (i) that the j-th piece of F is equivalent
+to the j-th piece of F . Similarly, since |j | < /2, the (j - 1)-th piece of F is equivalent
+to the (j - 1)-th piece of F . We therefore have
+
+b(F[tj-1,tj ]) = b(F[tj-1,tj ]) = a(F[tj,tj+1]) = a(F[tj ,tj+1]).
+
+For t  (0, ], let the chord angles of R[0,t] be denoted (0, t) and (0, t) (these definitions will be extended in Section 5). In Corollary 5.5, we show that there exists a unique t  (0, )

+
+Our main result on G2 regularity is obtained as a consequence of the following theorem which is essentially [9, Theorem 5.1] but specialized to the present context.
+
+Theorem
+

+
+Suppose
+

+
+for
+

+
+
+

+
+and
+
+| - | < .
+
+Let F  A/2(P1, P2, . . . , Pm) be a curve with minimal bending energy. If Pj is a point where the stencil angle j satisfies |j| < , then the two chord angles associated with node Pj satisfy |j|, |j| < /2 and, consequently, F is G2 across node Pj.
+Proof. Employing the symmetry E1(, ) = E1(, ), conditions (i) and (ii) in the hypothesis of [9, Theorem 5.1] reduce simply to the single condition
+
+(4.4)
+
+sign
+
+

+
+

+
+= sign( -  )
+
+for

+all
+
+|| 
+

+
+.
+
+and therefore Theorem 4.5, with (4.3) replaced by (4.4), is an immediate consequence of [9,
+Theorem 5.1]. Note that the only distinction between (4.3) and (4.4) is that (4.3) is mute
+when (, ) equals (/2, -/2) or (-/2, /2). With a slight modification (specifically: rather than showing that f () > 0 and f (2 -) < 0, one instead shows that there exists  > 0 such that f () > 0 for  -  <  <  and f () < 0 for 2 -  <  < 2 -  + ), the proof of [9, Theorem 5.1] also proves Theorem 4.5.
+
+Remark. The appearance of (4.3), rather than (4.4), in Theorem 4.5 is simply a conse-
+
+quence
+
+of
+
+the
+
+fact
+
+that
+

+when
+
+(, )
+
+equals
+
+(/2, -/2)
+
+or
+
+(-/2, /2).
+
+This distinction is not without consequence. In [9, Theorem 5.1], the conclusion is obtained
+
+when i  , while in Theorem 4.5 we require i < . In Section 8, we prove that (4.3) holds and we therefore obtain the conclusion of Theorem
+
+4.5 regarding minimal energy curves in A/2(P1, P2, . . . , Pm). We will now show that the same holds for the larger set A/2(P1, P2, . . . , Pm).

+
+Theorem 4.6. Let F  A/2(P1, P2, . . . , Pm) have minimal bending energy. Then F is G2 across Pj whenever the stencil angle satisfies |j| < .
+
+Proof. Let F  A/2(P1, P2, . . . , Pm) be as in Lemma 4.2, and let j  {2, 3, . . . , m - 1} be
+
+such that |j| < . It follows from Theorem 4.5 and Section 9 that the two chord angles

+
+Pj
+
+satisfy
+
+|j | , |j|
+

+5. The chord angles of R[t1,t2]
+
+In this section and the next, we establish relations between the parameters (t1, t2),
+
+with t1 < t2, and the chord angles (, ) of the segment R[t1,t2] of rectangular elastica (defined in Section 2). Our primary purpose in this section is to prove Theorem 5.3 and
+
+Corollary 5.4.
+
+Recall
+
+from
+
+Section
+
+2
+
+that
+
+the
+
+chord
+
+angles
+
+are
+
+given
+

+
+
+
+:=
+
+(t1,
+
+t2)

+
+arg
+
+R (t1 ) R(t2 )-R(t1 )
+
+and
+
+
+
+:=
+
+(t1, t2)
+
+=
+
+arg
+
+R (t2 ) R(t2 )-R(t1
+
+)
+
+.
+
+We mention that since (t) is increasing, it follows
+
+that the chord angles (t1, t2) and (t1, t2) never equal  (i.e., the branch cut in the
+
+definition of arg is never crossed).
+
+Fig. 9 notation for R[t1,t2] Assuming t1 < t2, we introduce the following notation (see Fig. 9):
+x := sin(t2) - sin(t1),  := (t2) - (t1), l := |R(t2) - R(t1)|,
+whereby l2 = (x)2 + ()2 and R[t1,t2] 2 = . We refer to the quantity l R[t1,t2] 2 as the normalized bending energy of R[t1,t2] because this would be the resultant bending energy if R[t1,t2] were scaled by the factor 1/l. Note that if R[t1,t2] is similar to a curve in Sopt(, ) (defined in Section 3), then we have
+E(, ) = l R[t1,t2] 2 = l.
+Let Q denote the mapping (t1, t2)  (, ) so that
+(, ) = Q(t1, t2).

+
+Theorem 5.3. There exists a unique t  (0, ) such that W (-t, t) = 0. Moreover
+det(DQ) < 0 on the following sets:
+(i) {(t1, t2) : -  t1 < t2  0, (t1, t2) = (-, 0)}, (ii) {(t1, t2) : -t < t1 < 0 < t2 < t} (iii) {(t1, t2) : 0  t1 < t2  , (t1, t2) = (0, )}, (iv) {(t1, t2) :  - t < t1 <  < t2 <  + t}
+
+Proof. For - < t1 < 0 < t2 < , the function W (t1, t2) is analytic in both t1 and t2, and
+
+consequently, it follows from Lemma 5.2 that W (t1, t2) is increasing in t1 and decreasing in
+
+t2. Furthermore, the function W (-t, t) is analytic and decreasing for t  (0, ). Note that
+
+if

+
+particular,
+
+< 0 < t2  W (-t, t) >

+
+then
+
+sin
+
+t1
+
+<
+
+0 for all t  (0,
+
+0 and
+

+
+].
+
+It
+
+it is
+
+is clear easy to

+(from verify
+
+(5.4)) that W (t1, (by inspection of
+
+t2) > 0. In (5.4)) that
+
+limt- W (-t, t) = -, and so it follows that there exists a unique t  (0, ) such that
+
+W (-t, t) = 0.
+
+If (t1, t2) belongs to set (ii), then W (t1, t2) > W (-t, t2) > W (-t, t) = 0 and since sin t1 sin t2 < 0, it follows that det(DQ) < 0. This proves that det(DQ) < 0 for all (t1, t2)
+
+in set (ii).
+
+We will show that det(DQ) < 0 for all (t1, t2) in set (i). This has already been proved in Lemma 5.1 if 0 = t1 < t2 <  or 0 < t1 < t2 = , so assume 0 < t1 < t2 < . As
+
+above, the function W (t, t2) is analytic and increasing for t  (0, t2). It is easy to see (by
+inspection of (5.4)) that limtt- 2 W (t, t2) = 0, and therefore W (t, t2) < 0 for all t  (0, t2); in particular, W (t1, t2) < 0. Since sin t1 sin t2 > 0, we have det(DQ) < 0. This completes
+the proof that det(DQ) < 0 for all (t1, t2) in set (i).
+
+Finally, if (t1, t2) belongs to set (iii) or set (iv), then (t1 - , t2 - ) belongs to set (i) or set (ii) and det(DQ(t1, t2)) = det(DQ(t1 - , t2 - )) < 0.

+
+In
+
+Theorem 3.1 (iii), it is shown that if (, ) = (0, 0), then there exist t1 < t2 < t1 + 2
+
+such that c1(, ) is directly similar to R[t1,t2]. In this section, we are concerned with the
+
+unicity of the parameters (t1, t2). The rectangular elastic curve R is periodic in the sense
+
+that R(t + 2) = i2d + R(t), and it follows that R[t1,t2] is directly congruent to R[t1,t2] whenever (t1, t2) = (t1, t2)+k(2, 2) for some integer k; in particular Q(t1, t2) = Q(t1, t2). With the identification (t1, t2)  (t1, t2), the half-plane Y := {(t1, t2) : t1  t2} becomes a half-cylinder, with boundary t1 = t2, and we adopt the view that Q is defined on the
+
+interior of the cylinder Y .
+
+In this section, we will prove the following.

+Theorem

+
+Then
+
+R[t1 ,t2 ]
+
+is
+
+directly
+
+similar
+
+to
+
+c1(, ).
+
+We define the following subsets of the interior of Y :
+
+U0 := {(t1, t2) : -  t1 < t2  0} U2 := {(t1, t2) : 0  t1 < t2  }
+
+V1 V3
+
+:= :=
+

+
+.
+
+UNICITY OF OPTIMAL S-CURVES AND G2 REGULARITY OF SPLINES

+
+These sets are pairwise disjoint subsets of the cylinder Y , and for t1 < t2, it is easy to verify that R[t1,t2] is a right c-curve if and only if (t1, t2)  U0, a non-degenerate rightleft s-curve if and only if (t1, t2)  V1, a left c-curve if and only if (t1, t2)  U2, and a non-degenerate left-right s-curve if and only if (t1, t2)  V3.
+The restriction t1 < t2 < t1 + 2 eliminates (-, ) from V1 and (0, 2) from V3, and we therefore have the following as a consequence of Theorem 3.1 (iii).

+
+We intend to show that the pair (t1, t2) is unique, but before beginning the proof of this, we will harmlessly replace V1, V3 with smaller sets U1, U3, defined below.
+With t as defined in Corollary 5.5, we define
+
+U1 := {(t1, t2) : -t  t1 < 0 < t2  t} U3 := {(t1, t2) :  - t  t1 <  < t2   + t} .
+

+
+Proof. We will only prove the lemma for V1\U1 since the proof for V3\U3 is similar. Let

+ELASTIC SPLINES II
+
+In Fig. 10(a), the sets U0, U1, U2, U3 are depicted on the fundamental domain -  t1 <  of the cylinder Y , and their union U is depicted in Fig. 10(b). The set U is bounded
+below by the line 0 := {(t1, t2) : t1 = t2} (which is not contained in U ) and above by the staircase path  := [T1, T2, . . . , T9] (which is contained in U ). Here, T1 = (-, t - ), T2 = (-, 0), T3 = (-t, 0), T4 = (-t, t), and Ti = Ti-4 + (, ) for i = 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. Note that on the cylinder Y , the vertical half line starting from 0 and passing through T9 is identified with the same, but passing through T1; in particular T9 is identified with T1.
+At present, Q is defined and is C on the interior of the cylinder Y . On the boundary
+of Y (the line 0), we define Q to be (0, 0); in other words, we define (t, t) := 0 and (t, t) := 0 for all t  R.
+
+Lemma 6.7. Q is continuous on the cylinder Y .
+
+Proof. We will show that |(t1, t2)|+|(t1, t2)|  2(t2-t1) whenever t1 < t2. It is generally
+
+true that the absolute sum of the chord angles is bounded by the absolute turning angle

+< 0.
+
+From this, one easily deduces that there exists t0  (-t, 0) such that
+
+(t1, t) > 0 for t1  (-t, t0) and (t1, t) < 0 for t1  (t0, 0]. Furthermore, (t1, t) is
+
+decreasing
+
+for
+
+t1
+
+
+
+[t0, 0],
+
+and
+
+therefore
+
+we
+
+have
+
+(t1, t)
+
+
+
+(-,
+
+ 2
+
+)
+
+for
+
+t1
+
+
+
+(-t, 0).
+
+This
+
+completes the proof that Q maps the interior of [T4, T5] into the interior of r4. We will now
+
+show
+
+that
+
+Q
+
+is
+
+injective
+
+on
+
+[T4, T5].
+
+Recall
+
+from
+
+(5.1)
+
+that
+
+  t1
+
+=
+
+|R(t1)|
+
+sin 
+
+
+
+and hence
+
+(t1, t) is increasing when  is positive (i.e., for t1  [-t, t0)) and (t1, t) is decreasing
+
+when  is negative (i.e., for t1  (t0, 0]). Consequently, Q is injective on [T4, T5]. This
+
+proves the lemma in the case i = 4 and the cases i = 3, 7, 8 follow by symmetry.
+
+We
+
+next
+
+consider
+
+the
+
+case
+
+i
+
+=
+
+5,
+
+where
+
+r5
+
+=
+
+[-
+
+ 2
+
+,
+
+-]
+
+�
+
+[
+
+ 2
+
+,
+
+).
+
+Along
+
+the
+
+segment
+
+[T5, T6]
+
+(see Fig. 10(b)), t1 = 0 is fixed while t2 ranges from t to . It is shown in Corollary 5.5
+
+that (0, t2) >
+
+ 2
+
+for all t2  (t, ).
+
+Recall from (5.1) that
+
+  t2
+
+=
+
+-|R
+
+(t2)|
+
+sin 
+
+
+
+.
+
+Since
+
+(0, t2)
+
+>
+
+0,
+
+it
+
+follows
+
+that
+
+  t2
+
+<
+
+0
+
+for
+
+all
+
+t2
+
+
+
+[t, ]
+
+and
+
+hence
+
+(0, t2)
+
+is
+
+decreasing
+
+for
+
+t2  [t, ]. Consequently, Q is injective on [T5, T6], and since (0, t) = - and (0, ) =
+
+-
+
+ 2
+
+,
+
+it
+
+also
+
+follows
+
+that
+
+Q
+
+maps
+
+the
+
+interior
+
+of
+
+[T5, T6]
+
+into
+
+the
+
+interior
+
+of
+
+r5.
+
+This
+
+proves
+
+the lemma for the case i = 5 and the cases 1, 2, 6 follow by symmetry.
+
+Proposition 6.8. The following hold.
+(i) Q is continuous on U  0. (ii) In the interior of U , Q is C and its Jacobian is nonzero.
+(iii) Q(0) = {(0, 0)} and Q(t1, t2) = (0, 0) for all (t1, t2)  U (iv) Q is injective on .
+
+Proof. Item (i) is a consequence of Lemma 6.7, and (ii) is proved in Theorem 5.3. The
+first assertion in (iii), Q(0) = {(0, 0)}, holds by definition. It is easy to verify that if f is an s-curve with chord angles (, ) = (0, 0), then f is a line segment. But R[t1,t2] is never a line segment because the signed curvature of R only vanishes at times k, k  Z. Since
+R[t1,t2] is an s-curve for all (t1, t2)  U , we obtain the second assertion in (iii). Since the rectangles r1, r2, . . . , r8 are non-overlapping, we obtain (iv) as a consequence of the above lemma.
+
+On the basis of Proposition 6.8, we have the following, which is proved in the Appendix.
+
+Theorem 6.9. Q is injective on U .
+
+Remark. The proof of Theorem 6.9 can be extended to show that Q is injective on the larger set U obtained with U1 and U3 defined with t in place of t.
+We can now easily prove Theorems 6.1 and 6.2.
+
+Proof of Theorem 6.1.
+
+Let
+
+(, )
+
+
+
+[-
+
+ 2
+
+,
+
+ 2
+
+]2\{(0,
+
+0)}.
+
+It follows from Corollary 6.6 and
+
+Theorem 6.9 that there exists a unique (t1, t2)  U such that Q(t1, t2) = (, ); this
+
+establishes existence. Now, if (t1, t2)  Y is such that t1 < t2 < t1 + 2 and R[t1,t2] is an s-curve with chord angles (, ), then it follows from Lemma 6.5 and the observations
+
+made above Proposition 6.3 that (t1, t2)  U , whence follows uniqueness.
+
+Proof of Theorem 6.2. Assume t1 < t2 < t1 + 2 and that R[t1,t2] is an s-curve. From the observations above Proposition 6.3, it follows that (t1, t2), as a point on the cylinder Y , belongs to U0  V1  U2  V3\{(-, ), (0, 2)}. Assume that the chord angles (, )
+
+20
+

+
+of R[t1,t2]
+
+belong
+
+to
+
+[-
+
+ 2
+
+,
+
+ 2
+
+].
+
+As
+
+mentioned
+
+in
+
+the
+
+proof
+
+of
+
+Proposition 6.8
+
+(iii), we must
+
+have (, ) = (0, 0) and therefore, by Proposition 6.3, there exists (t1, t2)  U0  V1 
+
+U2  V3\{(-, ), (0, 2)} such that c1(, ) is directly similar to R[t1,t2]. Since Q(t1, t2) = (, ) = Q(t1, t2), it follows from Theorem 6.1 that (t1, t2) = (t1, t2) (in the cylinder Y )
+
+and therefore R[t1,t2] is directly congruent to R[t1,t2]; hence R[t1,t2] is directly similar to
+
+c1(, ).
+
+7. Proof of Condition (4.1)
+
+In this section we prove that condition (4.1) holds with � = 2:
+
+Theorem 7.1.

+
+),
+
+(
+
+ 2
+
+,
+
+-
+
+ 2
+
+)}.
+
+We first address the easy case (0, 0) =
+
+(0, 0), where c1(0, 0) is a line segment. In the proof of [3, Prop. 7.6], it is shown that there
+
+exists a constant C such that E1(, ) = E(, )  C(tan2  + tan  tan  + tan2 ) for
+
+all (, )  [-/3, /3]2. From this it easily follows that E1(0, 0) = [0, 0], and since the
+
+line segment c1(0, 0) has 0 curvature, we obtain (7.1) for the case (0, 0) = (0, 0).
+
+We
+
+proceed
+
+assuming
+
+(0, 0)

+
+It
+
+follows
+
+from
+
+Corol-
+
+lary 6.6 that there exists (1, 2)  U such that Q(1, 2) = (0, 0). The restriction
+
+(0,

+
+
+
+{(-

+
+(-,
+

+
+and
+
+consequently,
+
+it
+
+follows from Theorem 5.3 that DQ(1, 2) is nonsingular. Since Q is C on the interior
+
+of the cylinder Y (defined in Section 6), it follows that there exists an open neighborhood
+
+N of (1, 2) such that Q is injective on N , DQ is nonsingular on N , Q(N ) is an open neighborhood of (0, 0), and Q-1 is C on Q(N ). We define E : Q(N )  [0, ) as
+
+follows. For (, )  Q(N ),
+
+E(, ) := l R[t1,t2] 2, where (t1, t2) := Q-1(, ) and l := |R(t1) - R(t2)| .

+Q(N

+
+Since Q(t1, t2) = (, ), it follows from Theorems
+
+6.1 and 6.2 that c1(, ) is directly similar to R[t1,t2]. Consequently, c1(, ) is directly
+
+congruent
+
+to
+
+1 l
+
+R[t1
+
+,t2
+
+]
+
+and
+
+E1(, )
+
+:=
+
+c1(, ) 2 = E(, ), as claimed.
+
+We recall, from Section 2, that the curvature of R is given by (t) = 2 sin t, and hence
+a(c1(, )) = 2l sin t1 and b(c1(0, 0)) = 2l sin t2. So with the claim in view, in order to establish (7.1) it suffices to show that
+
+(7.2)
+
+[-l sin t1, l sin t2] = E(, ), for all (, )  Q(N ).
+
+UNICITY OF OPTIMAL S-CURVES AND G2 REGULARITY OF SPLINES

+
+The bending energy of R[t1,t2] (see Section 2) is given by R[t1,t2]) 2 = (t2) - (t1) =: , and hence E(, ) = l. Defining E : N  [0, ) by E(t1, t2) := l, we have E = E  Q, and therefore, since DQ is nonsingular on N , (7.2) is equivalent to
+
+[-l sin t1, l sin t2]DQ = E(t1, t2), for all (t1, t2)  N.
+
+This can be written explicitly as

It is enough to show that Q is one-to-one on M  B(x, ) since a continuous, one-to-one map between compact subsets of R2 has a continuous inverse.

+
+Then g is a closed curve in intN B(y, ) which is simply connected. Note that intN B(y, ) does not contain (0, 0). Therefore, there is a homotopy H : [0, 1] � [0, 1]  N  B(y, ) such that H(0, t) = g(t) and H(s, 0) = H(s, 1) = H(1, t) = Q(x1) for all s, t  [0, 1].
+The map Q : intM  intN - {(0, 0)} is proper (Proposition 9.2) and since the Jacobian of Q is not zero, it is a local homeomorphism, hence by Proposition 9.5 it is a covering map. This means that we can lift H (the image of H avoids the point (0, 0)) to a homotopy H� : [0, 1] � [0, 1]  intM with the property that Q(H� (s, t)) = H(s, t). This implies that H� (s, 0) = x1 and H� (s, 1) = x2 for all s  [0, 1], therefore we have curve t  H� (1, t) in intM connecting x1 to x2 such that the image of this curve by Q is one point Q(x1). This contradicts the fact that Q is a local homeomorphism on intM .
+Proof of Theorem 6.9. We have already proved that Q is proper. Since Q is locally invertible at the points of intM (the Jacobian of Q is not zero) and at the points of  (Proposition 9.4) we see that the singular set of Q is 0 only and since Q(0) = {(0, 0)} from Theorem 9.1 we obtain that for all v  N - {(0, 0)} [v] is constant. Since Q is injective on  and if u  M - {, 0} then Q(u) /  we obtain that [v] = 1 for all v  , therefore [v] = 1 for all v  N - {(0, 0)}. This means that Q is injective on U and the proof of Theorem 6.9 is complete.

+Yttrium Iron Garnet (YIG) is the ubiquitous magnetic insulator used for studying pure spin currents. The exchange constants reported in the literature vary considerably between different experiments and fitting procedures. Here we calculate them from first-principles. The local Coulomb correction (U - J) of density functional theory is chosen such that the parameterized spin model reproduces the experimental Curie temperature and a large electronic band gap, ensuring an insulating phase. The magnon spectrum calculated with our parameters agrees reasonably well with that measured by neutron scattering. A residual disagreement about the frequencies of optical modes indicates the limits of the present methodology.
+
+I. INTRODUCTION
+Yttrium iron garnet (Y3Fe5O12-YIG) is a ferrimagnetic insulator of particular significance due to its uniquely low magnetic damping and relatively high Curie temperature ( 570 K). There has been a recent resurgence in interest after Kajiwara et al. [1] electrically injected spin waves into YIG and detected (by the inverse spin Hall effect) their transmission over macroscopic distances of 1 mm. Short wave length spin waves excited electrically [2] or thermally [3] can also diffuse over distances of 40 �m, even at room temperature, demonstrating the potential of using spin waves as information carriers in spintronic applications. The spin Seebeck effect (SSE) in YIG [4, 5] also garners attention in the field known as spin caloritronics [6]. Recent results on the SSE in the related garnet Gadolinium-Iron Garnet (GdIG) [7] illustrate the importance of understanding the many mode spin wave spectrum [8].
+Most experiments on YIG are interpreted in terms of a single magnon band with parabolic dispersion and a single exchange or spin wave stiffness parameter. However, the magnetic primitive cell contains 20 Fe moments and gives a complicated spin wave spectrum with many modes in the THz range [9]. The quantitative quality of Heisenberg spin models of YIG [10] relies on the accuracy of the derived parameters, such as exchange constants and magnetic moments. Through several decades of literature there is a plethora of suggested exchange constants for YIG. All are deduced either from macroscopic measurements such as calorimetry, or are fitted to the neutron scattering data by Plant from 1977 [11]. The triple axis inelastic neutron scattering only resolved 3 of the 20 spin wave branches which has led to a quite a spread in exchange parameter. The limited experimental data is insufficient to uniquely fit the exchange parameters. Moreover, the spin wave spectrum of YIG is anomalously sensitive to small changes in the exchange constants. Small changes in the exchange parameters
+
+appear to give dramatically different spectra. Here we employ computational material science to improve this unsatisfactory situation.
+Different ab initio techniques can be employed to deduce Heisenberg exchange parameters. Within density functional theory (DFT) the Heisenberg Hamiltonian can be fitted to the calculated total energy to identify the coupling constants. There are two common methods of doing this. In the `real-space' method, the total energy of a set of collinear spin configurations with spin flips on different sites is mapped onto the Hamiltonian [12, 13]. The alternative method is to compute the spin wave stiffness from the total energy of spin spirals by varying the pitch [14]. For simple, one component systems such as Fe, Co, Ni, both approaches give a good agreement between them selves and also with experimental data [15, 16]. Here we have chosen to use the real-space method with collinear spin configurations due to the simplicity of implementation when treating the complex crystal structure of YIG.
+YIG belongs to the cubic centrosymmetric space group Ia3d [17, 18]. The primitive BCC unit cell contains 80 atoms. One eighth of it is shown in Fig. 1(a). The magnetic structure as determined by neutron diffraction measurements [19] confirms that the spins of the FeO and FeT ions are locked into an anti-parallel configuration. There is a net magnetization because of the 3:2 ratio of FeO to FeT sites in the unit cell, hence YIG is a ferrimagnet.

+which for pure YIG is known to be small and in fact is beyond the accuracy of our methods. The dipolar interactions do not interfere with the exchange energy and can be added a posteriori. The exchange constants are fitted to a number of different collinear spin configurations in which spins are flipped from the ground state. The number of different configurations must be larger than the number of adjustable parameters (3 for the NN model and 6 for the NNN model).

The dodecahedrally coordinated Y ions (green) occupy the 24c Wyckoff sites, the octahedrally coordinated FeO ions (blue) occupy the 16a sites, and the tetrahedrally coordinated FeT ions (yellow) occupy the 24d sites. The oxygen (red) 96h sites are not confined by symmetry, while all cation sites are on special crystallographic positions.

+tions (as done by most previous works); hence there are three independent exchange constants, Jaa, Jdd, Jad covering inter- and intra-sublattice interactions as indicated in Fig. 1(b). Comparing the energy of the model Hamiltonian (1) with the total energy calculated ab initio for different spin configurations which should be degenerate in energy, we find unacceptably large energy differences ( 2 meV) when only including NN interactions. Therefore, later in this work we extend the model to include also next nearest neighbor (NNN) exchange interactions parameterized by three more exchange constants Ja a, Jdd and Ja d (also shown in Fig. 1(b)). Previous works which have included interactions beyond NN [20] suffer from an increased over-parameterization of the fitting of only 3 spin wave modes in the neutron scattering data. Our minimal reliance on experimental data puts the justification for the inclusion of NNN on a more solid footing.
+We disregard the magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy
+
+We now give a brief outline of how the Heisenberg Hamiltonian is mapped onto the different spin configurations. We consider a spin wave of wave vector k that induces small oscillations in a spin moment Si on site i about the collinear ground state.

+To calculate the total energy we use DFT as implemented in the Vienna ab initio simulation package (VASP.5.3) [21, 22]. The electronic structure is described in the local density approximation (LDA) and the generalized gradient approximation (GGA). Projector augmented wave (PAW) pseudopotentials [23] with the Perdew-Wang 91 gradient-corrected functional are used. A 500 eV plane-wave cutoff and a 6 � 6 � 6 Monkhorst-Pack k-point mesh was found to lead to well converged results. We use the atomic positions from the experimental structural parameters (Tab. I) [17, 18].

+
+For the (ferrimagnetic) ground-state structure, the calculated spin magnetic moment of the Fe ions and the electronic band gap of YIG are shown in Fig. 2(a). The total moment (including Fe, Y and O ions) per formula unit is consistently 5 �B, in good agreement with experimental data [24, 25]. The majority of the moment within the unit cell is highly localised to the Fe sites. In the DFT-LDA calculation, the spin moments are 3.49�B for FeO, 3.47�B for FeT, and the electronic band gap has the value 0.35 eV, much lower than the value of 2.85 eV found experimentally [26, 27]. Density-functional theory in its bare form is not good at predicting the energy gap of insulators. This can be overcome to some extent by the inclusion of an on-site Coulomb correction (LDA/GGA+U ). In this study the Hubbard U and Hund's J parameters for the Fe atoms are determined [28�30] by DFT-GGA+U calculations with U - J in the range 0.7  5.7 eV. The electronic energy gap as well as the spin moments increases slightly with U - J. Even for the largest values of U - J, the moments are much smaller than expected for pure Fe3+ S = 5/2 state
+(�s = g S(S + 1) = 5.916�B), but quite close to those found from neutron diffraction [31]. However, these authors suggest that the true space group of YIG is R�3. Only when they perform the refinement in this setting do they obtain good agreement with the known net moment of YIG. The moments obtained are very similar to those found here and by other ab initio calculations (Table II). The difference between the Ia�3d and R�3 groups appears to be sufficiently small to not affect the results
+
+much. The electronic energy gap is still smaller than the experimental value, but an even larger U - J causes unwanted artifacts such as a negative gap for spin-flip excitations.

+Ten different spin configurations (SC) were used to determine the exchange constants. Considering the NN model first, with Eaa = JaaSaSa, Edd = JddSdSd and Ead = JadSaSd, where Sa, Sd are the +/- directions of FeO, FeT ions, the total energies Eq. (1) are listed in Tab. III.

+The exchange constants are the solutions of each of four linear equations. To minimize the dependence of the results on the choice of the spin configurations, the final results were obtained using all the configurations (a)-(j) listed in Tab. III. The final values, shown in Fig. 3, were obtained by a least squares fit of the 10 SC's.

+romagnetic order. This result contradicts all previous results in the literature [33, 34] - indicating that the DFTLDA/GGA method fails to describe the magnetism of YIG. However, in the GGA+U method, all three exchange constants are positive (antiferromagnetic), Jdd is an order of magnitude smaller than Jad, while Jaa is about half of Jdd. The strong Jad inter-sublattice exchange dominates the smaller intra-sublattice energies, forcing the ferrimagnetic ground state of the bulk. All the three exchange constants decrease as U - J increases, because a larger on-site U - J of the Fe atoms leads to a more localized electronic structure resulting in weaker exchange. Previous works assumed that Jad  Jaa, Jdd, which is required to constrain the fitting problem [9, 20, 33, 34]. Our results show directly the smallness of the intra-sublattice exchange energies because of a stronger objective function for the least-

+B. Next Nearest Neighbour
+The error bars in Fig. 3 reveal a large covariance in the fitting of the NN spin model to the different configurations. Even though the errors decrease with increasing U - J, the variance in the energies is still comparable to its estimation. This situation can be improved by extending the NN to the NNN model with additional parameters Ja a, Jd d and Ja d. The total energies of the corresponding SC can be rewritten (shown in Tab. IV), where Ea a = Ja aSaSa, Ed d = Jd dSdSd, Ea d = Ja dSaSd and Etot stands for the total energy expression in the NN model. The exchange constants are obtained from the set of linear equations for the SC (a)-(g) listed in the table. SC (h)-(j) are selected to check whether the results are reasonable. Ecal are the calculated total energies for U - J = 4.7 eV relative to the ground state (SC (a)). The energy difference for the different SC is of the order of 1  10 eV which is much larger than the accuracy of the calculation (10-3 eV). ENNN ( ENN) is the difference between the total energies calculated ab initio and the fitted total energies from the NNN (NN) spin model and constitutes the energy that has not been accounted for in our model Hamiltonian. This can be, for example, from longer ranged exchange interactions or anisotropies in the system. The difference between the first-principles total energy and the spin model |ENN| amounts to up to 7.85%, but the NNN model has a significantly smaller value |ENNN| = 0.66%, which we deem to be acceptable.
+In table V we compare our results to other values in the literature. Almost all of the exchange interactions we cal-
+
+5
+
+culated are lower than obtained from fitting experimental data. Especially the Jad, the strongest interactions, is lower than others have suggested, although the NNN U - J = 3.7 eV is quite close. Lowering U - J gives an increase in Jad, but at the expense of the size of the magnetic moments and the width of the electronic band gap. One may naively think that lower exchange constants will give a lower Curie temperature, however because the intra-sublattice interactions are also antiferromagnetic in character the situation is more complicated.
+Where NNN values are calculated the order of magnitude agrees with attempts by Plant to fit the neutron scattering data with a NNN model [20].

+gives smaller exchange constants and hence weaker interactions giving a lower TC. This follows intuitively because of the increased localisation of the wave functions reducing the exchange and hence also the Curie temperature. With the parameters U - J = 4.7 eV, TC is 540 K, in good agreement with the experimental value. The magnetization curve of the NNN model is quite similar to the NN model with a slightly higher TC of 590 K using the parameters exchange parameters when U - J = 3.7 eV. The finite slope at low temperatures in both models
+
+does not agree with experiments. This deviation is as-

+Compared with the NN model (as shown in Tab.V),
+the values of Jaa, Jdd and Jad in the NNN model became slightly smaller but still obey Jad  Jdd > Jaa. The additional interactions Jdd and Ja d are of the same order of magnitude as the NN intra-sublattice exchange and are also antiferromagnetic. Notably, Jdd > Jdd interaction.

+cribed to our disregard of quantum statistics in the simulations. Nevertheless, at higher temperatures the calculated shapes of the magnetization and TC agree well with experiments.

+A. Curie Temperature and Magnetization
+We calculate the temperature dependence of the magnetization and the Curie temperature (TC) from the spin models by Metropolis Monte Carlo (MC) simulations on a 32 � 32 � 32 super cell (each unit cell contains 20 spins) with periodic boundary conditions [37]. The temperature dependence of the total magnetization, M = Md - Ma, is shown in Fig. 4, normalized by M (T = 0 K). The TC of the NN model exchange parameters using different U - J values are shown in the inset. The experimental value of TC is 570 K [35, 38]. In the NN model, the larger U
+
+Next we calculate the spin wave spectrum from our parameterized Heisenberg model. We choose the exchange constants with the parameter U - J = 4.7 eV for the NN model and the parameter U - J = 3.7 eV for the NNN model. The analytic results of the spin-wave spectrum Eq. (7) are shown in Fig. 5. The experimental data from Refs. 11 and 20 are for 83 K. Strictly speaking only the low temperature results should be compared with theory.
+Dispersion relation of the acoustic mode � The slopes of the lowest acoustic mode of the NN model and the NNN model both agree well with the neutron scattering data (Fig. 5(a)). The spin-wave stiffness D is governed by the second derivative at the -point. D = 77�10-41 J�m2 and 85 � 10-41 J � m2 for the NN and NNN models, respectively.

+FIG. 5. Spin-wave spectrum in the first Brillouin zone for the NN model (red dots) derived from ab initio calculations with U - J = 4.7 eV and the NNN model (blue dots) where U - J = 3.7 eV and compared to the available neutron scattering data (black circles) [11]. (a) The entire spin wave spectrum. (b) Comparison of the shape of the parabolic optical mode the results are shifted by +3.35 THz for the NN model and +2.40 THz for the NNN model and compared to the 83 K experimental data. The directions in k-space use the standard labels of bcc reciprocal lattice.
+
+by different experimental methods [34, 35, 39] vary from D = 42 � 10-41 J � m2 to 109 � 10-41 J � m2.
+High frequency modes � As shown in Fig. 5(a), the spectra of both models in the range of 8 THz  11 THz have a similar structure. However, the modes of the NNN model are more separated, especially at the -point, which we ascribe to Jdd. At high frequencies (above 12 THz), the modes of the NNN model have much higher frequency compared to the corresponding ones of the NN model.
+Spin wave gap � The (exchange) gap between two lowest (acoustic and optical) modes at the -point of the NN model is about 5 THz, while the one of the NNN model is 0.945 THz higher due to the larger Jad in the latter, but is still smaller than the experimental gap of about 8 THz at 83 K. The comparison of the frequencyshifted second lowest mode with the experimental data are shown in Fig. 5(b). The slope of the NNN model is a little steeper than that of the one of the NN model, and they are both in good agreement with the experimental data.
+In conclusion, we report exchange constants of YIG computed from first principles but with an adjustable U - J constant to increase the density functional band gap. We found that NNN interactions are required for a good fit of total energies by a Heisenberg model. Our results reproduce the experimental Curie temperature well. In addition, we obtain a spin-wave spectrum in which the lowest acoustic mode agrees very well with the available neutron scattering data. However the lowest optical mode energy appears to be underestimated, emphasizing the need for more studies of the temperature dependent spin wave spectrum.

+Abstract
+The main result of this paper is a functional limit theorem for the sine-process. In particular, we study the limit distribution, in the space of trajectories, for the number of particles in a growing interval. The sine-process has the Kolmogorov property and satisfies the Central Limit Theorem, but our functional limit theorem is very different from the Donsker Invariance Principle. We show that the time integral of our process can be approximated by the sum of a linear Gaussian process and independent Gaussian fluctuations whose covariance matrix is computed explicitly. The proof relies on a general form of the multidimensional Central Limit Theorem under the sine-process for linear statistics of two types: those having growing variance and those with bounded variance corresponding to observables of Sobolev regularity 1/2.

+
+1 Introduction
+
+1.1 Formulation of the main result
+
+In this paper we study the asymptotic behaviour of trajectories of determinantal random point processes; for basic definitions and background concerning determinantal point processes, see Section 2.2 below. Mostly we deal with the sine-process given by the kernel
+
+sin(x - y)
+
+1
+
+Ksine(x, y) = (x - y)
+
+if
+
+x=y
+
+and
+
+Ksine(x, x)
+
+
+
+, 
+
+x, y  R.
+
+(1.1)
+
+The sine-process is a strongly chaotic stationary process: it satisfies the Kolmogorov property [Ly], [BQS], [OO], having, therefore, Lebesgue spectrum and positive entropy, and enjoys an analogue of the Gibbs property [Buf14, Buf15], namely, the quasi-invariance under the group of diffeomorphisms with compact support. At the same time, the sineprocess is rigid in the sense of Ghosh and Peres [G, GP]: the number of particles in a bounded interval is almost surely determined by the configuration in its exterior. The reason for the rigidity is the slow growth of the variance for the sine-process: for instance, the number of particles #[0,N] in the interval [0, N ] satisfies
+
+1 Var #[0,N] = 2 ln N + O(1),
+
+(1.2)
+
+see e.g. Exercise 4.2.40 from [AGZ]. This slow growth of the variance can be seen from
+
+the form () = || of the spectral density for the sine-process, cf. [So00], [BDQ]. Costin
+
+and Lebowitz [CL] showed that the sine-process satisfies the Central Limit Theorem: the
+
+random variable
+
+^N := #[0,N] - E #[0,N] Var #[0,N]
+
+(1.3)
+
+converges in distribution to the normal law:
+
+D(^N ) N (0, 1) as N  .
+
+(1.4)
+
+2
+
+Here E , Var and D stand for the expectation, variance and distribution under the sineprocess.
+The Central Limit Theorem was subsequently proven for arbitrary determinantal processes governed by self-adjoint kernels and arbitrary additive statistics with growing variance (see [So00, So00a, So00b, So01, HKPV]), in particular, for the Airy and Bessel processes ([So00a]), for which the variance of the number of particles has logarithmic growth and rigidity holds [Buf16].
+Many classical dynamical systems satisfying the Central Limit Theorem also satisfy the Donsker Invariance Principle, which, informally speaking, states that trajectories of the system can be approximated by the Brownian motion, cf. [Sinai89]. The main result of this paper is a functional limit theorem for the sine-process. The limit dynamics is completely different from Brownian motion. As far as we know, this is the first example of such behaviour in the theory of dynamical systems. More specifically, we investigate asymptotic behaviour, as N  , of the piecewise continuous random process

+

+
+Proof of Theorem 1.1 is given in Section 5.1. Informally, Theorem 1.1 states that,
+
+t
+up to terms of the size o (ln N )-1/2 , the process sN ds can be decomposed to a linear
+
+0
+
+
+
+random process N t and small Gaussian fluctuations zt/-1 ln N , see figure (1). Here zt
+
+is a continuous centred Gaussian process whose covariances (1.9) we compute explicitly,
+
+while about the linear process N t we know that asymptotically it is governed by the
+
+process t, where   N (0, 1/2) is independent from z. For the rate of convergence of N
+
+to  we have
+
+Proposition 1.2. Cumulants (ANk ) and (Ak) of the random variables N and  satisfy AN1 = A1 = 0, |AN2 - A2|  C2(ln N )-1 and

+with some constants Ck.
+
+For a short reminding about cumulants see the beginning of Section 3. Proof of Propo-
+
+sition 1.2 is given in Section 5.1. Informally, Proposition 1.2 states that the deviation of
+
+the process N t, specifying the linear growth of the integral (1.7), from the process t is of the size (ln N )-1/2. So that, it coincides with the size of the term zt/-1 ln N , specifying the nonlinear fluctuations.
+
+About the Gaussian process zt we can only say that, due to (1.9), z0 = z = 0, the
+distribution of zt restricted to the interval [0,  ] is symmetric with respect to the reflection
+t   - t, and that the increments of the process zt are not independent. Theorem 1.1 has the following statistical interpretation. 1 In order to predict behaviour
+
+t
+of the process sN ds on the whole time interval 0  t  1 it suffices to know its realization
+0
+at arbitrarily small positive time  . Indeed, then we determine N by the formula (1.6) and

+
+The main order asymptotic D(N ) N D() from Theorem 1.1 only uses the logarithmic growth of the variance and holds for a general determinantal process with logarithmically growing variance (in particular, similar convergence takes place under the Airy and Bessel processes). We show this in Section 6. To prove the asymptotic D(zN ) D(z) however we crucially use the form of the sine-kernel (1.1). More specifically, this asymptotic relies on a multidimensional Central Limit Theorem 1.9 discussed in Section 1.4. To establish the latter we analyse the corresponding cumulants using a combinatorial identity (4.36) which is due to [So00b] and is specific for the sine-process. While we expect the result to hold for the discrete sine-process, additional arguments are needed. It would be interesting to establish the convergence analogous to D(zN ) D(z) for a general determinantal process with logarithmically growing variance by using some different method, e.g. that of contour integrals developed in [BF].
+The rest of Section 1 is organized as follows. It the next subsection we describe motivation behind Theorem 1.1. In Section 1.3 we state Theorem 1.8 which is our second main result. There we show that a large class of observables ergodic integrals corresponding to a shift operator on the space of configurations, has exactly the same asymptotic behaviour under the sine-process as that described by Theorem 1.1. In Section 1.4 we discuss the multidimensional Central Limit Theorem mentioned above, which is the main ingredient of the proofs of Theorems 1.1 and 1.8. In Section 1.5 we outline the proof of Theorem 1.1.
+
+1.2 Finite dimensional distributions and motivation behind Theorem 1.1
+
+We first look at the finite-dimensional distributions of the process tN . Proposition 1.3. For any 0 < t1 < . . . < td  1, d  1, we have
+
+D(tN1 , . . . , tNd ) D(t1, . . . , td) as N  , where  = (t1, . . . , td) is a centred Gaussian vector with the covariance matrix (bij),
+
+bij = 1/2 + ij/2,
+
+(1.11)
+
+where ij is the Kronecker symbol.
+
+Proposition 1.3 generalizes convergence (1.4) to many dimensions and is established in
+Section 5.1. Without a detailed proof a similar result was stated by Soshnikov, see [So00],
+p. 962 and [So00a], p. 499. The covariance matrix (bij) is independent from the choice of times t1, . . . , td. In particular, this means that if the limit as N   of the process tN exists in some sense, then it can not be a continuous process, so nothing as Brownian motion can appear. Note that proof of the fact that the matrix (bij) has the form (1.11) crucially uses the logarithmic growth of the variance (1.2).
+
+Remark 1.4. In the sense of finite-dimensional distributions, asymptotic for large N
+
+behaviour of the process tN is close to behaviour of the fractional Brownian motion BtH
+
+with small parameter H 1. Indeed, in Lemma 4.1 of [BMNZ] it is pointed out that
+
+D(BtH1 , . . . , BtHd ) tion 1.3.
+
+D() as H  0, where the  is the Gaussian vector from Proposi-
+
+5
+
+Due to (1.11), distribution of the Gaussian vector  can be represented in the form
+
+D() = D (, . . . , ) + (t1, . . . , td) ,
+
+where the random variables , t1, . . . , td  N (0, 1/2) and are mutually independent. That is why we expect that the limiting behaviour of the process tN is governed by the sum of independent processes t + t, where t   and the process t is a centred Gaussian with the covariances E ts = ts/2. However, such a process t does not exist in a classical sense (more precisely, it cannot be defined over a separable metric space). That
+
+is why, in order to regularize the limiting dynamics, instead of the process tN we study
+t
+
+its time integral sN ds. We expect that when N   the latter is governed by the sum
+
+0
+
+t
+
+t
+
+t
+
+ + s ds = t + s ds where we the integral s ds should be defined appropriately.
+
+0
+
+0
+
+0
+
+Here one can draw an analogy with the white noise, which is not defined in the classical
+
+sense but its time integral gives the Brownian motion. However, this heuristic idea leads
+
+us to the following rigorous result.
+
+Proposition 1.5. For any function   L1[0, 1] we have
+
+1
+D (s)sN ds
+0
+
+1
+D  (s) ds
+0
+
+as N  ,
+
+(1.12)
+
+where   N (0, 1/2).
+
+Remark 1.6. Here and below by the normal law with zero expectation and variance
+1
+we understand the Dirac delta-measure at zero 0. In particular, if (s) ds = 0 then
+0 1
+D (s)sN ds 0.
+0
+
+t
+Choosing  = I[0,t] we find the leading term of the asymptotic for the process sN ds,
+0
+claimed in Theorem 1.1:
+
+t
+D sN ds
+0
+
+D(t) as N  .
+
+(1.13)
+
+t
+Thus, we do not observe the integral s ds. The reason is that the process t is completely
+0
+uncorrelated in time and has a bounded variance (in difference with the white noise whose variance is the delta-function). So that, t oscillates fast with not very large amplitude and averages out under the integration over the interval [0, t]. Note that convergence (1.12) takes place even for a very rough observable : only integrability of  is assumed.
+Proposition 1.5 is a particular case of Proposition 6.1, in which we establish a stronger result for an important class of determinantal point processes including those with logarithmically growing variance, as the sine, Airy and Bessel processes; see Section 6.
+
+6
+
+Proposition 1.5 gives some information about the asymptotic behaviour of the process
+
+tN . But we lose a lot: we do not observe any influence of the process t which we find
+
+at the level of finite dimensional distributions. Our next goal is to catch the process
+
+t
+
+t. The informal identity s ds = 0 resembles the law of large numbers. To observe the
+
+0
+
+influence of t we try to look at the Central Limit Theorem scaling. Since we expect that,
+
+informally,
+
+t
+
+t
+
+sN ds - t  s ds as N  ,
+
+0
+
+0
+
+we need to find a sequence N   as N  , such that the random process
+
+ztN = N
+
+t
+sN ds - t
+0
+
+(1.14)
+
+converges to a non-trivial limit. However, joint distribution of the process tN and the random variable  is undefined. To overcome this difficulty we note that, due to (1.13),
+D(N ) N D() where N is defined in (1.6), and replace in the definition (1.14) of the process ztN the random variable  by N . Then, setting N = -1 ln N we arrive at Theorem 1.1.
+
+Remark 1.7. It could seem that influence of the process t could be discovered by consid-
+eration of some nonlinear functional of the process tN such as, for example, the integral
+1
+(t)(tN )m dt for integer m  2, where   L1[0, 1]. However, this is not the case. In-
+0 m
+deed, we expect that (tN )m  ( + t)m = Cmk tkm-k, if N is large. Since terms tk and
+k=0
+sk are independent for t = s, the situation here is similar to that of Proposition 1.5: the
+1
+integral (t)tk dt averages the terms tk, so feels only their means E tk. More precisely,
+0
+one can prove that
+
+1
+
+1
+
+m
+
+D (t)(tN )m dt N D (s) ds Cmk m-kE 0k .
+
+0
+
+0
+
+k=0
+
+(1.15)
+
+Comparing with the right-hand side of (1.12), the r.h.s. of (1.15) depends on the moments E tk, so that now we feel the "noise" t but in a trivial way. Indeed, all the randomness is still due to , although modified by the moments of t.
+
+1.3 Functional limit theorem for ergodic integrals
+In this section we explain that ergodic integrals corresponding to a shift operator acting on the space of configurations possess the same asymptotic behaviour as the number of particles #[0,N]. Denote by Conf(R) the space of locally finite configurations on R,
+Conf(R) = X  R X does not have limit points in R .
+
+7
+
+Let T u, u  0, be a shift operator acting on Conf(R) as T u : Conf(R)  Conf(R), T u(X ) = X - u.
+
+Consider the dynamical system
+
+Conf(R), (T u)u0, P ,
+
+(1.16)
+
+where P is the probability measure on Conf(R), given by the sine-process. Take a bounded measurable function  : R  R with compact support. The linear statistics S corresponding to the function  is introduced by the formula
+
+S : Conf(R)  R, S(X ) := (x).

+
+(1.17)
+

+
+3. The distribution D(N , zN ) satisfies D(N , zN ) D(, z) as N   in R � C([0, 1], R), where the random variable  and the random process zt are as in Theorem 1.1.
+
+4. Cumulants (ANk ) and (Ak) of the random variables N and  satisfy AN1 = A1 = 0, |AN2 - A2|  C2(ln N )-1/2, and (1.10) for k  3 and some constants Ck.
+Theorem 1.8 is proven in Section 5.3. To see the connection between the processes tN and N,t observe that the function Nt has the form as shown on figure 2: it has a flat part
+
+of the length  N where Nt (x) = (x) dx = 1, and tails with the length of order
+-
+one. So that, Nt almost coincides with a shifted indicator function I[0,N], if N is large. But the linear statistics SI[0,N] is equal exactly to the number of particles #[0,N].
+
+1.4 Central Limit Theorem for linear statistics
+Proofs of Theorems 1.1 and 1.8 follow the same pattern and rely on the multidimensional Central Limit Theorem 4.3, which we state below in a simpler form. Recall that the linear statistic S of a function  is defined in (1.17).
+Theorem 1.9. Let f1, . . . , fp, g1, . . . , gq : R  R, p, q  0, be measurable bounded functions with compact supports. Set fiN := fi(�/N ), gjN := fj(�/N ) and consider the corresponding linear statistics
+Sf1N , . . . , SfpN , Sg1N , . . . , SgqN as random variables under the sine-process. Assume that
+
+9
+
+1. There exists a sequence VN   as N   and numbers bfij satisfying bfii > 0, such
+
+that for any i, j
+
+Cov(SfiN , SfjN ) VN
+
+
+
+bfij
+
+as
+
+N  .
+
+(1.21)
+
+2. The functions gi belong to the Sobolev space H1/2(R).
+
+Let (fN , gN ) be the random vector with components
+
+fNi
+
+:=
+
+SfiN
+
+- E SfiN VN
+
+and gNj := SgjN - E SgjN .
+
+Then we have the weak convergence D(fN , gN ) D(f , g), where (f , g) is a centred
+
+Gaussian random vector with the covariance matrix
+
+(bfij) 0 0 (bgkl)
+
+and bgkl = gk, gl 1/2,
+
+where the pairing �, � 1/2 is given by (2.1).
+
+Note that under the assumption gi  H1/2 the variances Var SgiN do not grow at all, so that assumption (1.21) can not be satisfied for the functions gi. Conversely, the inclusion fi  H1/2 can not take place once (1.21) holds.
+The difference between Theorems 1.9 and 4.3 is that in the latter we admit more
+general dependence of the functions fiN , gjN on N than in Theorem 1.9. This is needed for the proof of Theorem 1.8.
+The marginal convergence D(fN ) N D(f ) does not use the special structure of the sine-kernel and takes place under a large class of determinantal point processes, once
+
+(1.21) holds. We prove this in Theorem 4.1 and use in Section 6, where we establish the
+
+main order asymptotic from Theorem 1.1 for a general determinantal process with loga-
+rithmically growing variance. To establish the convergence D(gN ) N D(g), however, we crucially use the form of the sine-kernel. Indeed, proof of our Central Limit Theorem
+is based on analysis of cumulants (ANk )kZ+p+q of the random vector (fN , gN ). In particular,
+we show that ANk N 0 once |k| > 2. For the cumulants corresponding to the component fN the latter convergence follows from general estimates obtained in Section 3 and decay of the normalization factor VN-1. For the component gN such normalization is lacking and the analysis is more delicate. We rely on the combinatorial identity (4.36) obtained by
+
+Soshnikov in [So00b], while application of the latter requires the relation (3.30) which is
+
+specific for the sine-process.
+
+The main novelty of Theorem 1.9 is that we study asymptotic behaviour of the joint
+
+linear statistics (SfiN , SgjN ), so that we work simultaneously on two different scales, corresponding to the growing and bounded variance. Indeed, the marginal convergence
+D(fNi )  D(fi) in the generality of Theorem 4.1 generalizes convergences obtained by Costin and Lebowitz [CL] and Soshnikov [So00, So00a, So01], see Section 4.1 for the
+discussion. The convergence D(gNi )  D(gi) was proven by Spohn [Sp] and Soshnikov [So00b, So01]. For further developments see also works [JL, L15, L15a, BD16, BD17],
+
+where certain one-dimensional Central Limit Theorems were established for linear statis-
+tics with bounded variance, related to the marginal convergence D(gNi )  D(gi). More precisely, in [JL, L15] and [BD16] the Central Limit Theorems were proven for linear
+
+statistics of various orthogonal polynomial ensembles on mesoscopic scales. In [L15a] and
+
+[BD17] those were obtained for linear statistics of certain biorthogonal ensembles.

+
+1.5 Outline of the proofs of Theorems 1.1 and 1.8
+
+First we discuss Theorem 1.1. We note that, due to (1.5),

+

+
+N
+

+
+where SfN is the linear statistics corresponding to the function f N (x) = f (x/N ) with
+
+
+
+f (x)
+
+=
+
+1 
+
+I[0,s](x) ds. Similarly,
+
+0
+
+t
+ztN =
+0
+
+#[0,sN] - E #[0,sN]
+
+
+t ds -
+
+0
+
+#[0,sN] - E #[0,sN]
+
+ds = SgtN - E SgtN ,
+
+where gtN (x) = gt(x/N ) and the functions gt, 0  t  1, are given by
+
+t
+
+
+
+t gt(x) := I[0,s](x) ds -  I[0,s](x) ds.
+
+0
+
+0
+
+(1.22)
+
+It is easy to see that the functions f and gt have compact support, are piecewise linear, and
+the functions gt are continuous (see (5.9)-(5.10) for the explicit form of gt). In particular, gt  H1(R) for all 0  t  1.
+1 Next we show that Var SfN  22 ln N and that the pairing gt, gs 1/2 equals to the right-hand side of (1.9). Thus, for any 0  t1 < . . . < td  1 the functions (f, gt1, . . . , gtd) satisfy assumptions of Theorem 1.9, with VN = -2 ln N , bf11 = 1/2 and bgij = r.h.s. of (1.9). The latter implies the convergence
+
+D(N , ztN1 , . . . , ztNd ) D(, zt1, . . . , ztd) as N  ,
+
+(1.23)
+
+where the random variable  and the random process zt are as in Theorem 1.1. Then, using a compactness argument in a standard way, we show that convergence (1.23) implies
+
+assertion of the theorem.
+
+Proof of Theorem 1.8 uses similar argument. Its main difference from the proof of Theorem 1.1 is that the functions f N and gtN depend on N in a more complicated way. That is why instead of Theorem 1.9 we use more general Theorem 4.3.
+
+1.6 Organization of the paper
+In Section 2 we first introduce notation which will be used throughout the paper. Then we recall some basic definitions concerning determinantal point processes and establish some simple facts needed in the sequel. In Section 3 we compute and estimate cumulants of linear statistics first under a general determinantal process and then specify our attention on the sine-process. Results obtained there are used in Section 4, where we establish the Central Limit Theorems 4.1 and 4.3, which are discussed Section 1.4. Section 5 is devoted to the proofs of our main results: Propositions 1.2, 1.3 and Theorems 1.1, 1.8. In Section 6 we prove an analogue of Proposition 1.5 for an important class of determinantal processes, including those with logarithmically growing variance (in particular, the Airy and Bessel processes).

+2.2 Determinantal point processes
+In this section we recall some basic definitions and facts concerning determinantal processes. Determinantal (or fermion) random point processes form a special class of random point processes, which was introduced by Macchi in seventies (see [Ma75, Ma77, DVJ]). They play an important role in the random matrix theory, statistical and quantum mechanics, probability, representation and number theory. For detailed background see [So00, ST, STa], see also Chapter 4.2 in [AGZ].
+
+12
+
+Consider on the space of locally finite configurations Conf(Rm), defined in (2.2), a -algebra F generated by cylinder sets
+CBn = {X  Conf(Rm) : #B(X ) = n},
+where n and B run over natural numbers and bounded Borel subsets of Rm correspondingly. The triple (Conf(Rm), F , P ), where P is a probability measure on (Conf(Rm), F ), is called a random point process.
+Assume that there exists a family of locally integrable nonnegative functions n : (Rm)n  R, n  1, such that for any n  1 and any mutually disjoint Borel subsets B1, . . . , Bn of Rm we have
+
+E #B1 � � � #Bn =
+
+n(x1, . . . , xn) dx1 � � � dxn.
+
+B1�...�Bn
+
+The functions n are called correlation functions. Under natural assumptions the family
+(n)n1 determines the probability P uniquely, see e.g. [So00]. Consider a non-negative integral operator K : L2(Rm, dx)  L2(Rm, dx) with a Her-
+mitian kernel K : Rm � Rm  C,
+
+Kf (x) = K(x, y)f (y) dy, K  0.
+Rm
+
+(2.3)
+
+Assume that K is locally trace class, i.e. for any bounded Borel set B  Rm the operator IBKIB is trace class. Lemmas 1 and 2 from [So00] imply that it is possible to choose the kernel K in such a way that for any bounded Borel sets B1, . . . , Bn, n  1, we have
+
+tr IBnKIB1KIB2 . . . KIBn =
+
+K(x1, x2)K(x2, x3) � � � K(xn, x1) dx1 . . . dxn. (2.4)
+
+B1�...�Bn
+
+In particular, for n = 1 we have tr IB1KIB1 = K(x, x) dx. Assume that (2.4) is satisfied.
+B1
+Definition 2.1. A random point process is called determinantal if it has the correlation functions of the form
+
+K(x1, x1) . . . K(x1, xn)
+
+n(x1, . . . , xn)  det  ...
+
+... 
+
+K(xn, x1) . . . K(xn, xn)
+
+for all n  1.
+
+Determinantal processes possess the following property, which can be viewed as their equivalent definition. Take any bounded measurable function h : Rm  R with a compact
+support D := supp h. Consider the corresponding linear statistics Sh. Then the generating function E zSh, z  C, takes the form
+
+E zSh = det 1 + (zh - 1)KID ,
+
+(2.5)
+
+where the expectation is taken under the determinantal process and det denotes the Fredholm determinant. The latter is well-defined since the operator K is locally trace class.
+
+13
+
+2.3 Elementary inequalities for the trace
+
+We will need the following elementary inequalities. Consider a determinantal point process on Rm, m  1, given by a Hermitian kernel K. Take a bounded measurable function h : Rm  R with compact support. Set
+
+D := supp h and KD := IDKID,
+
+where the integral operator K is defined in (2.3).
+
+Proposition 2.2. We have
+
+h(KD - KD2 )h  0.
+
+Proof. It is well-known that 0  K  Id. Consequently, 0  KD  Id and KD - KD2 = KD(Id - KD)  0. Then, denoting by �, � L2 the scalar product in L2(Rm, dx), for any function f  L2(Rm, dx) we obtain
+
+h(KD - KD2 )hf, f L2 = (KD - KD2 )hf, hf L2  0.
+
+It is well-known that
+
+Var Sh = h2(x)K(x, x) dx -
+
+h(x)h(y)|K(x, y)|2 dxdy,
+
+D
+
+DD
+
+= tr h2KD - tr(hKD)2.
+
+(2.6)
+
+The traces above are well-defined since the operator K is locally trace class, so that the operators h2KD and (hKD)2 are trace class. Denote by [�, �] the commutator, [A, B] = AB - BA. We have
+
+[KD, h]
+
+2 HS
+
+=2
+
+h2(x)|K(x, y)|2 dxdy - 2
+
+h(x)h(y)|K(x, y)|2 dxdy
+
+DD
+= 2 tr h2KD2 - tr(hKD)2 .
+
+DD
+
+(2.7)
+
+Proposition 2.3. We have
+
+0  tr h2(KD - KD2 )  Var Sh and
+
+[KD, h]
+
+2 HS
+
+ 2 Var Sh.
+
+(2.8)
+
+Proof. Proposition 2.2 together with cyclicity of the trace implies tr h2(KD - KD2 )  0. Next, subtracting (2.7) divided by two from (2.6), we get
+
+1 Var Sh - 2
+
+[h, KD]
+
+2 HS
+
+=
+
+tr h2(KD

+
+we obtain
+
+(2.8).
+
+Proposition 2.4. For any linear operators G1, . . . , Gn, F , n  1, we have
+
+n
+[G1 � � � Gn, F ] = G1 � � � Gl-1[Gl, F ]Gl+1 � � � Gn.

+3 Cumulants of linear statistics
+
+3.1 Cumulants and traces
+
+In this section we compute cumulants of linear statistics viewed as random variables under a determinantal process and obtain some estimates for them. Despite that in the present paper we mainly work with the sine-process, first in this section we consider a general determinantal process. This is needed for the proof of Theorem 4.1.
+Recall that the numbers (Jk)kZd+ are called cumulants of a random vector  = (1, . . . , d)  Rd if for any sufficiently small y  Rd we have
+
+ln E eiy� =
+
+(iy)k Jk k! ,
+
+kZd+
+
+where � denotes the standard scalar product in Rd while (iy)k and k! are defined in item 3
+of Section 2.1. A cumulant Jk can be expressed through the moments (ml)|l|k of the random vector  and the other way round. If (e1, . . . , ed) is the standard basis of Zd then
+
+Jei = E i and Jei+ej = Cov(i, j) for any 1  i, j  d.
+
+(3.1)
+
+The vector  is Gaussian iff Jk = 0 for all |k|  3. For more information see e.g. [Shi], Section 2.12.
+Let h1, . . . , hd : Rm  R, d  1, be bounded Borel measurable functions with compact supports and h := (h1, . . . , hd). Consider the vector of linear statistics
+
+Sh := (Sh1, . . . , Shd)
+
+(3.2)
+
+as a random vector under a determinantal process given by a Hermitian kernel K. Denote
+
+D := di=1 supp hi and KD = IDKID,
+
+(3.3)
+
+where the locally trace class operator K is given by (2.3). The proofs of the following Lemma 3.1 and Proposition 3.2 are routine (cf. formulas (1.14) and (2.7) from [So00b]) and we include them for completeness.
+
+Lemma 3.1. For any k  Zd+ satisfying |k|  2 the cumulant Bk of the random vector (3.2) has the form
+
+|k| (-1)j+1
+
+Bk = k!
+
+j
+
+tr ha1 K � � � haj-1 Khaj KD . a1! � � � aj!
+
+j=1
+
+a1,...,aj Zd+:
+
+a1+���+aj =k
+
+(3.4)
+
+Proof. Due to (2.5) with z := ei and h := h � y, we have
+
+ln E eiSh�y = ln det 1 + (eih�y - 1)KD .
+
+Then, Lemma XIII.17.6 from [RS] implies that for a sufficiently small y  Rd we have
+
+ln E eiSh�y = ln exp
+
+
+
+(-1)j+1 tr
+j
+
+(eih�y - 1)KD
+
+j
+
+j=1
+
+ (-1)j+1 =
+
+
+
+tr(iy � h)l1K � � � (iy � h)lj KD .
+
+j
+
+l1! � � � lj!
+
+j=1
+
+l1,...,lj =1
+
+(3.5)
+

+
+Note that
+
+d
+
+(iy � h)ln =
+
+iym1 hm1 � � � iymln hmln .
+
+(3.6)
+
+m1,...,mln =1
+
+We have
+
+iym1 hm1 � � � iymln hmln = (iy1h1)an1 � � � (iydhd)and = (iy)an han ,
+
+where
+
+an := (an1 , . . . , and )  Zd+ and anr := #{q, 1  q  ln : mq = r}.
+
+(3.7)
+
+Next we replace in (3.6) the summation over m1, . . . , mln by that over an  Zd+. To this end, we note that |an| = ln and for a given vector an the number of vectors (m1, . . . , mln) satisfying (3.7) is equal to ln!/an!. Then
+
+(iy � h)ln =
+
+ln! (iy)anhan.
+
+an!
+
+anZd+:|an|=ln
+
+Now (3.5) implies

+
+where in the last equality the second sum is taken only over j  |k| since for j > |k| the relation a1 + � � � + aj = k with a1, . . . , aj  Zd+ is impossible.
+Proposition 3.2. For any k  Zd+ satisfying |k|  2 we have
+
+|k| (-1)j+1

+1
+
+j
+
+a1! � � � aj! = 0.
+
+j=1
+
+a1,...,aj Zd+:
+
+a1+���+aj =k
+
+(3.8)
+
+Proof. Denote the left-hand side of (3.8) by Tk. Represent the function
+
+g(x) := x1 + . . . + xd where x = (x1, . . . , xd),
+
+(3.9)
+
+in the form g(x) = ln 1 + (ex1+���+xd - 1) . Developing the logarithm and exponents to
+the series, we see that g(x) = Tkxk. Indeed,
+kZd+
+
+ (-1)j+1 g(x) =

+
+j=1
+
+a1,...,aj Zd+
+
+kZd+
+
+Thus, due to (3.9), we have Tk = 0 for |k|  2. Lemma 3.1 together with Proposition 3.2 immediately implies
+
+16
+
+Corollary 3.3. For any k  Zd+ satisfying |k|  2, the cumulants Bk of the random vector (3.2) can be represented in the form
+
+|k| (-1)j+1

+Bk = k!

+
+a1+���+aj =k
+
+(3.10)
+
+In the next lemma we estimate the right-hand side of (3.10).
+
+Lemma 3.4. Let k  Zd+, |k|  2, and vectors a1, . . . , aj  Zd+, j  1, satisfy a1 + � � � + aj = k. Then
+
+d

+
+l=1
+
+(3.11)
+
+Proof of Lemma 3.4 follows a scheme similar to that used in the proof of Lemma 3.2
+
+from [BD15]. However, in [BD15] only the case when K is a projection was considered
+
+and the operators hlK, Khl were assumed to be of the trace class. We do not impose these restrictions.
+
+Proof. Step 1. We argue by induction. If j = 1 then the left-hand side of (3.11) is equal
+
+to zero. Consider the case j = 2. Using cyclicity of the trace, by a direct computation we
+
+get
+
+tr ha1 Kha2 KD
+
+=
+
+tr ha1 KDha2 KD
+
+=
+
+1 2
+
+tr[ha1, KD][ha2, KD] + tr hkKD2 .
+
+Then
+
+| tr ha1Kha2KD - tr hkKD|
+
+
+
+1 2
+
+[ha1, KD]
+
+HS
+
+[ha2, KD]
+
+HS + | tr(hkKD2 - hkKD)|.
+
+(3.12)
+
+We estimate the terms of the right-hand side above separately. Set
+
+(x) := h21(x) + � � � + h2d(x).

+(3.13)
+
+Using
+
+the

+
+
+
+hk 2
+
+tr (KD - KD2 ),

+(3.14)
+
+since, due to Proposition 2.2, the operator (KD - KD2 ) is non-negative. Clearly,

+
+On the other hand, due to (2.8), we have

+(3.15) (3.16)

+(3.17)
+

+Step 2. Assume that j  3. Denote
+
+G := ha1 KDha2 KD � � � haj-3 KDhaj-2 ,
+
+(3.18)
+
+so that tr ha1K � � � haj KD = tr ha1KD � � � haj KD = tr GKDhaj-1KDhaj KD (in particular, for j = 3 we have G = h1). It suffices to show that

+
+3.2 Cumulants under the sine-process
+
+In this section we assume that K = Ksine is the sine-kernel given by (1.1). Using its special structure we rewrite the traces from (3.4) in an appropriate way, representing them through the Fourier transforms h^i.
+Let k  Zd+, v = (v1, . . . , v|k|) and a1, . . . , aj  Zd+, j  1, satisfy a1 + . . . + aj = k. Denote
+h^a1,...,aj (v) := h^1(v1) . . . h^1(va11 )h^2(va11+1) . . . h^2(va11+a12 ) . . . h^d(va11+...+a1d-1+1) . . . h^d(v|a1|) h^1(v|a1|+1) . . . h^1(v|a1|+a21 ) . . . h^d(v|a1|+a21+...+a2d-1+1) . . . h^d(v|a1|+|a2|)h^1(v|a1|+|a2|+1) . . . .
+We abbreviate the relation above as
+
+|k|
+h^a1,...,aj (v) = h^li (vi),
+i=1

+(3.24)
+
+where li = r, 1  r  d, if

+
+(3.25)
+
+Proposition 3.5. Let K = Ksine and vectors k, a1, . . . , aj  Zd+, |k|  2, j  1, satisfy a1 + . . . + aj = k. Then

+
+where dS is an elementary volume of the hyperplane v1 + . . . + v|k| = 0, normalized in such a way that dS(v1, . . . , v|k|) = dv1 . . . dv|k|-1.
+

+
+Proof. In this proof we always consider the kernel K as a function of one variable
+
+sin x K(x) = .
+x
+
+(3.27)
+
+Denote the trace from the left-hand side of (3.26) by Tr. Step 1. Assume first j = 1. We have
+
+
+
+
+
+Tr = tr hkKD =
+
+hk(x)K(0) dx = 1 
+
+hk(x) dx = 1 F (hk)(0).

+
+Denote by  the convolution and set h^k := h^1k1  . . .  h^dkd. Changing the order of the convolutions, we obtain h^k = |ik=|1h^li, where we recall that the indices li are defined below (3.24). Then, using that F (f g) = (2)-1f^  g^ for f, g  L2(R) we get
+
+Tr =
+

+
+R|k|-1
+
+Next we change the variables, v1 := -y1 and for 2  i  |k|-1 we set vi := yi-1-yi. Then,
+
+denoting v|k| := -v1 - . . . v|k|-1 (so that y|k|-1 = v|k|) and passing from the integration over R|k|-1 to the integration over the hyperplane v1 + . . . + v|k| = 0 in R|k|, we arrive at (3.26):
+
+|k|
+
+2 Tr =
+(2)|k|
+
+h^li(vi) dS.
+
+v1+...+v|k|=0 i=1

+Step 2. Let now j  2. In this step we show that
+
+1 Tr =
+(2)|k|

+h^a1(y1 - y2)K^(y2)h^a2(y2 - y3)K^(y3) . . . h^aj (yj - y1)K^(y1) dy1 . . . dyj.

+4 Central Limit Theorems for linear statistics
+In this section we prove multidimensional Central Limit Theorems 4.1 and 4.3.
+22
+
+4.1 Linear statistics with growing variance: Theorem 4.1
+Let d  1 and hN1 , . . . , hNd : Rm  R, N  N, be a family of bounded Borel measurable functions with compact supports. Consider the corresponding vector of linear statistics
+
+ShN := (ShN1 , . . . , ShNd )
+as a random vector under a determinantal process given by a Hermitian kernel KN . Denote by EN , VarN and CovN the corresponding expectation, variance and covariance. In this section we prove the Central Limit Theorem for the vector ShN under assumption that the variances VarN ShNj grow to infinity as N  .
+Theorem 4.1. Assume that there exists a sequence VN   as N  , VN > 0, such that the following two conditions hold.
+
+1. For all 1  i, j  d there exist the limits
+
+CovN (ShNi , ShNj ) VN
+
+N
+
+bij ,
+
+for some numbers bij.
+
+2. We have
+
+max
+1jd
+
+hNj
+
+ = o(
+
+VN )
+
+as
+
+N  .
+
+(4.1) (4.2)
+
+Let N  Rd be a random vector with components
+
+jN
+
+=
+
+ShNj
+
+- 
+
+EN
+
+ShNj
+
+VN
+
+.
+
+(4.3)
+
+Then for the family of distributions D(N ) we have the weak convergence D(N ) D() as N  , where  is a centred Gaussian random vector with the covariance matrix (bij).
+
+Theorem 4.1 generalizes results obtained in works [CL, So00, So00a, So01], where the
+Central Limit Theorems for various linear statistics were established, under the assump-
+tion that VarN ShNj   as N  . More precisely, in papers [CL] and [So00] the Central Limit Theorem was proven in the one-dimensional setting (i.e. d = 1) for the linear statistics corresponding to a family of functions hN of the form
+
+hN (x) = IA(x/N ),
+
+(4.4)
+
+where A is a bounded Borel set, so that ShN = #A. In [So00a] the author considered the linear statistics of the same form under the Airy and Bessel processes. He showed
+that their variances Var ShN have the logarithmic growth and proved a multidimensional Central Limit Theorem (i.e. d  1). In [So01] a one-dimensional Central Limit Theorem was established for a general family of bounded measurable functions hN with compact
+supports, under the assumptions that
+
+hN  = o (VarN ShN ) and EN S|hN | = O (VarN S|hN |) ,
+
+(4.5)
+
+for any  > 0 and some  > 0. This result can not be applied for the linear statistics corresponding to the family of functions (4.4) under the sine, Airy and Bessel processes.
+
+23
+
+Indeed, the variance in these cases has the logarithmic growth while the expectation grows as N n, n > 0, so that (4.5) fails. Since in Theorem 4.1 we do not impose assumption
+(4.5), it covers all the Central Limit Theorems above.
+Proof of Theorem 4.1. The proof uses a method developed in [CL] and [So00], and is
+based on application of Corollary 3.3 and Lemma 3.4. Since the normal law is specified by its moments it suffices to show that the moments of the random vector N converge to the moments of  (see [F], page 269). Denote by (ANk )kZd+ and (Ak)kZd+ the cumulants of N and  respectively, so that
+
+Ak =
+
+0 if |k| = 2, bij if k = ei + ej,
+
+where (el) is the standard base of Zd. Since the moments can be expressed through the cumulants, it suffices to prove that
+
+ANk  Ak as N   for any k  Zd+. In the case |k|  2 the convergence (4.6) is clear. Indeed, due to (3.1), we have
+
+(4.6)
+
+ANei = 0
+
+and
+
+AN ei+ej
+
+=
+
+CovN
+
+ShNi
+
+- 
+
+EN
+
+ShNi
+
+,
+
+ShNj
+
+- 
+
+EN
+
+ShNj
+
+VN
+
+VN
+
+= CovN (ShNi , ShNj ) , VN
+
+so that (4.6) follows from assumption (4.1). It remains to study the case |k|  3. By definition (4.3) of the vector N we have
+
+ANk
+
+=
+
+BkN , VN|k|/2
+
+(4.7)
+
+where BkN are cumulants of the random vector ShN . Due to Corollary 3.3 joined with Lemma 3.4, we have
+
+d
+
+|BkN
+
+|
+
+
+
+C
+
+max
+1id
+
+hNi
+
+|k|-2 
+
+VarN ShNl .
+
+l=1
+
+Then, assumptions (4.1) and (4.2) imply BkN = o(VN|k|/2), if |k|  3. Now the desired convergence (4.6) follows from (4.7).
+
+4.2 Joint linear statistics of growing and bounded variances: Theorem 4.3
+Consider a family of measurable bounded functions with compact supports f1N , . . . , fpN , g1N , . . . , gqN : R  R, where N  N and p, q  0. In this section we prove a multidimensional Central Limit Theorem 4.3 for the vector of the linear statistics
+
+(Sf1N , . . . , SfpN , Sg1N , . . . , SgqN ),
+
+(4.8)
+
+under the sine-process. We assume that the functions fiN are as in Theorem 4.1 while the functions gjN are supposed to be sufficiently regular and for large N asymptotically behave as gj(�/N ), for some functions gj independent from N . This situation is not covered by Theorem 4.1 since under our hypotheses the variances Var SgjN do not grow at all, so that condition (4.1) fails.
+
+24
+
+Before formulating our assumptions let us note that all of them except f.1 are automatically satisfied if fiN (x) = fi x/N , gjN (x) = gj x/N , where the functions fi, gj are bounded measurable with compact supports and gj belong to the Sobolev space H1/2(R). For the proof of this fact see Example 4.4 in the next section.
+We assume that there exist sequences VN , RN   as N  , VN , RN > 0, such that for all 1  i  p, 1  j  q, the the following hypotheses hold. Let
+
+fiN (x) := fiN (RN x) and gjN (x) := gjN (RN x). f.1 Under the sine-process there exist the limits
+
+(4.9)
+
+Cov(SfiN , SfjN ) VN
+
+
+
+bfij
+
+as
+
+N  ,
+
+(4.10)
+
+for some numbers bfij and any 1  i, j  p.
+
+
+
+f.2 We have max 1ip
+
+fiN  = o(
+
+VN ) as N  .
+
+
+
+f.3 We have max 1ip
+
+fiN L2 = o(
+
+VN ) as N  .
+
+Since fiN L2 = RN-1/2 fiN L2, assumption f.3 just means that the norm fiN L2 grows slower than (RN VN )1/2.
+
+g.1 The functions gjN belong to the Sobolev space H1/2(R) and gjN  gj as N   in H1/2(R), for some functions gj and any j.
+
+g.2 The functions gjN are bounded uniformly in N .
+
+Before stating the theorem let us note that, due to the estimate (3.32) and the following obvious proposition, assumption g.2 implies in particular that
+
+the variances Var SgjN are bounded uniformly in N .
+
+(4.11)
+
+Proposition 4.2. For any function k  H1/2(R) and any  = 0 we have k 1/2 = k 1/2, where k(x) := k(x).
+Proof. Since k^(x) = -1k^(-1x), we get

+
+k
+
+2 1/2
+
+,
+
+-
+
+-
+
+where we set u = -1v.
+
+Theorem 4.3. Let a family of measurable bounded compactly supported functions f1N , . . . , fpN , g1N , . . . , gqN , p, q  0, satisfies assumptions f.1-f.3, g.1-g.2 above. Consider the vector of linear statistics (4.8) as a random vector under the sine-process. Let N = (fN , gN )  Rp+q be a random vector with components
+
+fNj
+

+
+SfjN

+
+SfjN

+(4.12)

+Then D(N ) D() as N  , where  = (f , g)  Rp+q is a centred Gaussian random vector with the covariance matrix
+
+(bfij ) 0
+
+0 (bgkl)
+
+,
+
+where bgkl = gk, gl 1/2. In particular, the components f and g of the vector  are independent.
+
+Theorem 4.3 applied to the functions (4.13) implies Theorem 1.9 stated in Section 1.4.
+If q = 0 then Theorem 4.3 is covered by Theorem 4.1, while in the case p = 0, q = 1 it
+is proven by Spohn [Sp] and Soshnikov [So00b, So01]. See the discussion in Section 1.4.
+Proof of Theorem 4.3 employs a method developed in [So00b] mixed with that related to
+the method used in the proof of Theorem 4.1. Note that the required regularity H1/2 of the functions giN is optimal: if we replace
+H1/2 by H1/2- then assertion of the theorem will not be true any more. Indeed, the indicator function I[0,N] belongs to the space H1/2-, for all  > 0. But the linear statistics SI[0,N] = #[0,N] has (logarithmically) growing variance, so that the indicator I[0,N] belongs to the class of functions fiN but not gjN .
+
+4.3 Examples
+
+In this section we present two examples where assumptions f.2 -g.2 2 are satisfied. We will use them in Section 5, when proving our main results, Theorems 1.1 and 1.8.
+
+Example 4.4. Let
+
+fiN (x) = fi
+
+x N
+
+,
+
+gjN (x) = gj
+
+x N
+
+,
+
+1  i  p, 1  j  q,
+
+(4.13)
+
+where the functions fi, gj are bounded measurable with compact supports and gj belong to the Sobolev space H1/2(R). Then assumptions f.2 -g.2 are fulfilled with RN = N , arbitrary sequence VN and gj = gj.
+
+Proof. Assumptions f.2 and g.2 are obviously satisfied. Fulfilment of assumptions f.3 and g.1 immediately follows from the fact that, due to (4.13), we have fiN = fi and gjN = gj.
+
+Example 4.5. Assume that functions fiN , gjN satisfy assumptions f.2 -g.2. Take a bounded
+
+measurable function  with compact support such that (x) dx = 1. Then the func-
+
+tions
+
+-
+fN,i :=   fiN , gN,j :=   gjN
+
+also satisfy f.2 -g.2 with the same sequences VN , RN and functions gj.
+
+Proof. Assumption f.2 follows from the identity
+
+
+fN,i   fiN  |(x)| dx.
+- 2Here and below by f.2 -g.2 we mean f.2,f.3,g.1,g.2.
+
+26
+
+Assumptions g.2 follows in the same way. To get assumption f.3 we define the functions fN,i as in (4.9) and note that f^N,i(v) = ^(v/RN )f^iN (v). Then
+
+fN,i
+
+1
+
+L2
+
+=
+
+ 2
+

+
+1
+
+L2
+
+
+
+ 2
+
+^  f^iN
+
+L2 =
+
+^  fiN L2 .
+
+Since   L1(R), we have ^  < , so that assumption f.3 follows. The fact that the functions gN,j belong to the space H1/2(R) is implied by the inequality
+
+gN,j 1/2  ^  gjN 1/2,
+
+which can be obtained similarly to the argument above. To establish the convergence
+claimed in assumption g.1, it suffices to show that gN,j - gjN H1/2  0 as N  . Using
+
+that g^N,j(v) = ^(RN-1v)g^jN (v) and ^(0) = (x) dx = 1, we obtain
+-
+
+
+
+2
+
+gN,j - gjN
+
+= 2
+H 1/2
+
+1 + |v| ^ RN-1v - ^(0) 2 g^jN (v) 2 dv

+
+1 + |v| g^jN (v) 2 dv.
+
+ |v| RN
+
+Using assumption g.1 for the functions gjN , the continuity of the function ^ and the relation ^  < , we see that both of the summands above go to zero as N  .
+
+4.4 Beginning of the proof of Theorem 4.3
+
+The rest of Section 4 is devoted to the proof of Theorem 4.3. From now on we will skip the upper index N in the notation fiN , gjN , fiN , gjN . Let us start by formulating the following smoothing proposition which is established in Section 4.6.
+
+Proposition 4.6. Assume that Theorem 4.3 is proven when the assumption g.1 is replaced by a stronger assumption
+
+g.1 The functions gj belong to the Sobolev space H1(R) and gj  gj as N   in H1(R), for some functions gj and any j.
+Then it holds under the assumption g.1 as well.
+
+Due to Proposition 4.6 we can assume that the functions gi satisfy condition g.1 . Let (ei)1ip and (j)1jq be standard bases of Zp and Zq. To prove the theorem, it suffices to show that the cumulants (ANk )kZp++q of the random vector N satisfy
+
+ANk  Ak as N  ,
+
+(4.14)
+
+27
+
+where
+
+k
+
+=
+
+(kf , kg)
+
+=
+
+(kf1, . . . , kfp, kg1, . . . , kgq )
+
+
+
+p+q
+Z+
+
+and
+
+ 
+
+bfij
+
+Ak = bgij
+
+0
+
+if kf = ei + ej, kg = 0, if kf = 0, kg = i + j, otherwise.
+
+By the definition (4.12) of the vector N , for |k| = 1 we have ANk = 0 and for |k|  2
+
+ANk
+
+=
+
+BkN , (VN )|kf |/2
+
+(4.15)
+
+where BkN are cumulants of the random vector (4.8). Further on we assume |k|  2. We single out four cases: kg = 0; |kg|  1 and |kf |  3; |kg|  1 and |kf | = 2; |kg|  1 and
+|kf |  1. The last one turns out to be the most complicated, so we study it separately in
+the next subsection. The reason is that in this case the denominator in (4.15) grows too slowly or does not grow at all, so that estimates for the cumulants BkN like those we use to study the other cases, do not suffice in this situation to prove the convergence ANk  0 for |k|  3. Instead, we employ combinatorial techniques developed by Soshnikov in [So00b].
+
+Note that we use the special form of the sine-kernel and the assumption g.1 only in this
+
+last case.
+
+Case 1: kg = 0. In this situation convergence (4.14) is established in the proof of Theorem 4.1. Indeed, the cumulant ANk in the present case coincides with the cumulant ANkf of the random vector (Sf1N , . . . , SfpN ).
+Case 2: |kg|  1 and |kf |  3. Denote d := p + q and let
+
+h = (h1, . . . , hd) := (f1, . . . , fp, g1, . . . , gq).
+
+(4.16)
+
+In view of Corollary 3.3, the desired estimate immediately follows from (4.15) joined with the following proposition.
+Proposition 4.7. In the case |kf |  3 (while kg is arbitrary), for any a1, . . . , aj  Zd+, j  1, satisfying a1 + . . . + aj = k, we have
+
+tr ha1K . . . haj KD - tr hkKD = o(VN|kf |/2) as N  .
+
+Proposition 4.7 is obtained as a refinement of Lemma 3.4, adapted for the present
+
+situation. Its proof is given in Section 4.6.
+
+Case 3: |kg|  1 and |kf | = 2. Consider a partition k = a1 +. . .+aj from Corollary 3.3.
+
+Let
+
+ai
+
+=
+
+(aif , aig)

+
+a1f
+
++ . . . + ajf
+
+and
+
+kg
+
+=
+
+a1g + . . . + ajg.
+
+Since
+
+|kf |
+
+=
+
+2,
+
+there are only two possible situations:
+
+S1 There is 1  l  j such that alf = kf and for all i = l we have aif = 0.
+S2 There are 1  l1 < l2  j such that |alf1| = |alf2| = 1, while for all i = l1, l2 we have aif = 0.
+Proposition 4.8. In the situation S1 above we have
+
+tr ha1K . . . haj KD - tr hkKD = o(VN ) as N  .
+

+Proof of Proposition 4.8 is given in Section 4.6. Assume that a sequence (BkN )NN satisfies
+
+BkN - BkN = o(VN ).

+(4.19)

+
+BkN VN
+
+,
+
+in the sense that if one of the limits exists then the other exists as well and the two are equal. Due to Corollary 3.3 joined with Proposition 4.8, the choice

+
+satisfies (4.19). Then, to prove that ANk  0 as N  , it suffices to show that the sum from the right-hand side of (4.20) vanishes, i.e.
+
+|k| (-1)j+1

+
+Lk :=

+
+a1! . . . aj! = 0.
+
+j=2
+

+
+satisfying S2:
+
+a1+...+aj =k
+
+Let us subtract Lk from the both sides of identity (3.8). Using that |k| = |kg| + 2, we find

+
+In the last sum from (4.21) the f -components a1f , . . . , ajf are defined uniquely, a1f = . . . =
+
+ajf-1 = 0 and ajf = kf . Then we can pass from the summation over a1, . . . , aj  Zd+ to

+This finishes the consideration of Case 3.
+
+4.5 Conclusion of the proof of Theorem 4.3
+
+Here we consider the last case, when |k|  2,
+
+|kg|  1 and |kf |  1.
+
+(4.24)
+
+Similarly to the notation fi and gj, we set
+
+h = (h1, . . . , hd), hi(x) := hi(RN x),
+
+where we recall that the vector-function h is defined in (4.16). Due to Proposition 3.5, for
+
+any a1, . . . , aj  Zd+, j  1, satisfying a1 + . . . + aj = k, the trace tr ha1K . . . haj KD has the form (3.26). Since h^i(s) = RN h^ i(RN s), the change of variables ul := RN vl transforms
+
+(3.26) to
+
+tr ha1K
+
+. . . haj KD
+
+=
+
+1 (2)|k|
+
+FNa1,...,aj (u) dS,
+
+(4.25)
+
+u1+...+u|k|=0
+
+where
+
+FNa1,...,aj (u) := h^ a1,...,aj (u) max 0, 2RN + J |a1|,...,|aj|(u) ,
+
+(4.26)
+
+and the function h^ a1,...,aj is defined as in (3.24), with h^li replaced by h^ li. Then Lemma 3.1 joined with (4.25) implies that the cumulant BkN takes the form
+
+BkN
+

+
+k! (2)|k|

+
+|u1|+...+|u|k||RN
+
+To finish the proof of the theorem it suffices to check that under the assumption (4.24)
+
+assertions B1 and B2 below are satisfied (note that, in fact, the proof of B1 does not use
+
+assumption (4.24)).
+
+B1. We have
+
+BkN,1 = 0 if |k| > 2 N,
+
+(4.29)
+
+and if |k| = 2,
+
+BkN,1 N VN|kf |/2
+
+bgij if kf = 0, kg = i + j, 0 if kf = 0.
+
+(4.30)
+
+B2. We have
+
+BkN,2 VN|kf |/2
+
+N 0.
+
+(4.31)
+
+Proof of B1. For |u1| + . . . + |uk|  RN we have max 0, 2RN + J |a1|,...,|aj|(u) = 2RN + J |a1|,...,|aj|(u). So that,
+
+F |a1|,...,|aj N
+
+|
+
+(u)
+
+=
+
+h^ a1,...,aj (u)
+
+2RN
+
++ J |a1|,...,|aj|(u)
+
+.
+
+(4.32)
+
+Then the integral from (4.28) takes the form I1 + I2, where
+
+I1 := 2RN
+
+h^ a1,...,aj dS and I2 :=
+
+h^ a1,...,aj J |a1|,...,|aj| dS.
+
+u1+...+u|k|=0, |u1|+...+|u|k||RN
+
+u1+...+u|k|=0, |u1|+...+|u|k||RN
+
+Changing the order in the product h^ a1,...,aj , we obtain
+
+I1 = 2RN
+
+(h^ )k dS.
+
+u1+...+u|k|=0, |u1|+...+|u|k||RN
+
+Thus, the integral I1 is independent from the choice of the vectors ai, so that in the formula (4.28) it can be put in front of the sums. In view of Proposition 3.2 the sums vanish, so that only the integral I2 has an input to the term BkN,1:
+
+BkN,1

+=
+
+k! (2)|k|

+Denote by |k| the symmetric group of degree |k|.

+Proposition 4.9. Fix k  Zd+ and l1, . . . , lj  N \ {0}, j  1, satisfying l1 + . . . + lj = |k|. Then

+(4.34)
+
+where u := (u(1), . . . , u(|k|)).
+
+Proof of Proposition 4.9 is postponed to Section 4.6. In view of the definition (3.25) of the function Jl1,...,lj , Proposition 4.9 applied to (4.33) implies
+
+BkN,1
+
+=

+
+The Main Combinatorial Lemma from [So00b] (see page 1356 in [So00b]) states that for any real numbers u1, . . . , u|k| satisfying u1 + . . . + u|k| = 0 we have
+
+G(u) =
+
+|u1| = |u2| 0
+
+if |k| = 2, if |k| > 2.
+
+(4.36)
+
+Then, (4.35) implies (4.29). Now it remains only to study the term BkN,1 in the case |k| = 2.
+Case |k| = 2 and kf = 0. In this situation we have k = i + j, for some 1  i, j  q.
+Since the functions gl are real, we have g^l(-s)  g^l(s). Then, in view of (4.35) and (4.36), we get

+
+Due to assumption g.1 (even g.1 suffices here), the right-hand side of (4.37) converges to bgij, so that we get (4.30).

+
+Case |k| = 2 and |kf | = 1. In this situation we have k = ei + j, for some 1  i  p and 1  j  q. Then (4.35) joined with (4.36) implies

+
+Due to assumption f.3, the first integral above goes to zero as N  . Since, in view

+follows. Proof of B2. Since, by the definition, J |a1|,...,|aj|  0, we have |FN|a1|,...,|aj||  2RN |h^ a1,...,aj |,
+see (4.26). Thus, it suffices to prove that

+
+u1+...+u|k|=0, |u1|+...+|u|k||RN
+
+(4.39)
+
+for any a1, . . . , aj. Since |kf |  1, the product h^ a1,...,aj contains at most one function from the set {f^1, . . . , f^p} while all the other functions from this product belong to the set
+{g^1, . . . , g^q}. Then

+|h^ a1,...,aj (u)|  ^(u1)^(u2)^(u3) . . . ^(u|k|),

+In view of (4.40) and assumption g.1 , to see that VN-|kf |/2LN2  0 as N   it suffices to show that the L1-norm ^ L1 is finite and bounded uniformly in N . This follows from the estimate

+
+4.6 Proofs of auxiliary results
+
+In this section we establish Propositions 4.6, 4.7, 4.8 and 4.9 used in the proof of Theorem 4.3.
+Proof of Proposition 4.6. Let the functions fj, gi satisfy assumptions f.1-g.2. Consider a smooth function w : R  R
+
+w(x) =
+
+1
+C e x2-1
+0
+
+if |x| < 1, if |x|  1,
+
+34
+
+
+where the constant C is chosen in such a way that w(x) dx = 1. Set w(x) :=
+-
+-1w(-1x), where 0 <  < 1, and let
+
+g,i := w  gi.
+
+Step 1. In this step we show that the functions g,i defined through the functions g,i as in (4.9) satisfy assumptions g.1 , g.2 with g,i = w  gi. Fulfilment of g.2 follows from the inequality
+
+
+
+g,i  = g,i   gi  w(x) dx = gi  = gi .
+-
+
+Since the function w is smooth, the functions g,i also are, so in particular g,i belong to the space H1(R). Then, to get assumption g.1 it suffices to show that g,i  g,i as N   in H1(R). We have
+
+
+
+g,i - g,i
+
+2 H1
+
+=
+
+1 2

+
+
+
+gi - gi
+
+, 2
+H 1/2
+
+(4.42)
+
+where ^ := (1+|u|2)(1+|u|)-1w^. Since the function w^ is of the Schwarz class, the norm ^  is finite (although dependent from ). Then, assumption g.1 for the functions gi
+implies that the right-hand side of (4.42) goes to zero as N  , for each  > 0.
+Step 2. It remains to show that assertion of Theorem 4.3 holds for the functions fj, gi. By assumption of the proposition, it is satisfied for the functions fj, g,i. So that, for the random vector (fN , gN) defined as in (4.12) and any (t, s)  Rp+q we have
+
+E e  e i(fN �t+gN �s)

+Assume first that j = 2 (the case j = 1 is trivial). Then we have estimates (3.12) and

+
+(4.49)
+
+Take a1, a2  Zd+ satisfying a1 + a2 = k. Since |kf |  3, the situation |a1f |, |a2f |  1 is impossible. Then, without loss of generality we assume that |a2f | > 1 and get
+
+[ha1 , KD] HS [ha2 , KD] HS  CVN|a1|/2o(VN|a2|/2) = o(VN|kf |/2).
+
+(4.50)
+
+Now estimates (4.46) and (4.50) imply that the right-hand side of (3.12) is bounded by o(VN|kf |/2), so that we get the desired inequality. The case j  3 can be studied in a similar way, following the scheme of the proof of Lemma 3.4.
+Proof of Proposition 4.8. To get the desired estimates we revise the proof of
+Lemma 3.4, additionally using the regularity of the functions gi and the fact that the operator K corresponds to the sine-kernel, so that K is a projection: K2 = K. The latter
+relation will be used in estimates analogous to (3.12) and (3.21), to kill there the second
+and the second and the third terms of the right-hand side correspondingly. The problem here is that KD2 = KD. Thus, our first aim is to reduce estimates on the operator KD to estimates on K.
+Let m  2 and b1, . . . , bm  Zd+. Since the supports supp hi are compact and the sine-kernel K has the form (1.1), the operators Khbi and hbiK are Hilbert-Schmidt. This implies that the operator hb1K . . . hbmK is of the trace class as a product of Hilbert-
+Schmidt operators. Jointly with cyclicity of the trace this provides
+
+tr hb1K . . . hbmKD = tr hb1K . . . hbmKID = tr IDhb1K . . . hbmK = tr hb1K . . . hbmK. (4.51)
+Thus, it suffices to establish relations (4.17)-(4.18), where the index D is dropped everywhere except the term tr hkKD (we do not know if the operator hkK is of the trace class, so we can not argue as in (4.51) to drop the index D there).
+Now let us consider the situations S1 and S2 separately. If j = 1, we are automatically
+in the case S1 and the left-hand side of (4.17) vanishes. Further on we assume that j  2. Case S1. Let first j = 2. Since a1 + a2 = k, we have
+
+[ha1, K][ha2, K] = ha1Kha2K + Kha1Kha2 - KhkK - ha1K2ha2.
+
+(4.52)
+
+Using that for any Hilbert-Schmidt operators A, B we have tr AB = tr BA and that K = K2, we obtain
+
+tr KhkK = tr KIDhkK = tr hkKKID = tr hkKD. Similarly, tr ha1K2ha2 = tr hkKD and tr Kha1Kha2 = tr ha1Kha2K. Then, due to (4.52),
+
+tr[ha1, K][ha2, K] = 2 tr ha1Kha2K - 2 tr hkKD.
+
+Consequently,
+
+tr ha1Kha2K - tr hkKD
+
+1 
+2
+
+[ha1, K] HS
+
+[ha2, K] HS.
+
+(4.53)
+
+Arguing as in (2.7) we find
+
+[hi, K]
+
+2 HS
+
+= 2 tr h2i K2ID - 2 tr(hiKD)2
+
+= 2 tr h2i KD - 2 tr(hiKD)2
+
+= 2 Var Shi,
+
+37
+
+for any 1  i  d, where in the last equality we have used (2.6). Now for definiteness we assume that a1f = kf and a2f = 0. Then, similarly to (4.47) and (4.49), we get
+[ha2, K] HS  C and [ha1, K] HS = o VN|kf |/2 = o(VN ).
+Thus, (4.53) implies the desired inequality (4.17). Assume now j  3. Define the operator G as in (3.18) with KD replaced by K. Then,
+literally repeating (3.20)-(3.22) with KD replaced by K and using the identity K2 = K, we get
+
+tr GKhaj-1Khaj K - tr GKhaj-1+aj K  GK [haj-1, K] HS [haj , K] HS. (4.54)
+Without loss of generality we assume that a1f = kf and aif = 0 for i  2 (in particular, ajf-1 = ajf = 0). Then, arguing as above, we see that the Hilbert-Schmidt norms from (4.54) are bounded uniformly in N . On the other hand,

+(4.55)
+
+due to (4.45). Thus, the right-hand side of (4.54) is bounded by o(VN ). Now, by the induction axiom, we get the desired inequality (4.17).
+
+Case S2. Without loss of generality we assume that |a1f | = |anf | = 1 for some n > 1, while for i = 1, n we have aif = 0. Consider first the situation when j  3. Then j, j - 1 = 1. If additionally j, j - 1 = n, then the norms [haj , K] HS and [haj-1, K] HS
+are bounded uniformly in N . Moreover, (4.55) is satisfied, so that the right-hand side of
+
+inequality (4.54) is bounded by o(VN ). If one of the numbers j - 1 or j is equal to n,
+
+then, arguing as in (4.48), we see that the Hilbert-Schmidt norm of the corresponding commutator is majorated by C VN . On the other hand, the product from (4.55) is then
+
+|kf |-1
+
+bounded by o(VN 2 ) in this case. Thus, the right-hand side of (4.54) is majorated by
+
+
+
+|kf |-1
+
+C VN o(VN 2 ) = o(VN ). Summing up, for j  3 we obtain
+
+tr GKhaj-1 Khaj K - tr GKhaj-1+aj K = o(VN ).
+
+(4.56)
+
+Let now j = 2. Then tr ha1Kha2K = tr fm1ga1g Kfm2ga2g K, for some 1  m1, m2  p. Using cyclicity of the trace, we obtain
+
+tr fm1 ga1g Kfm2 ga2g K - tr fm1 gkg Kfm2 K  tr fm1 ga1g Kfm2 ga2g K - tr fm1 ga1g Kga2g Kfm2 K
+
++ tr fm2 Kfm1 ga1g Kga2g K - tr fm2 Kfm1 gkg K  o(VN ),
+
+(4.57)
+
+in view of (4.56). Now the desired estimate (4.18) follows by induction from (4.56) and (4.57).
+
+Proof of Proposition 4.9. Consider functions 1, . . . , |k|, where
+
+1 = . . . = k1 := h^ 1, k1+1 = . . . = k1+k2 := h^ 2, . . . , k1+...+kd-1+1 = . . . = |k| := h^ d.
+
+Then the sum from the right-hand side of (4.34) can be rewritten as

+|k| u1+...u|k|=0 |u1|+...+|u|k||RN

+depends on u only through the unordered sets {u1, . . . , u|a1|}, {u|a1|+1, . . . u|a1|+|a2|}, . . .. Then the integral from the left-hand side of (4.34), corresponding to this partition, co-
+incides with the integral from (4.58), corresponding to a permutation , iff among the functions (1), . . . , (|a1|) there are exactly a11 functions equal to h^ 1, a12 functions equal to h^ 2, . . . , a1d functions equal to h^ d; among the functions (|a1|+1), . . . , (|a1|+|a2|) there are a21 functions equal to h^ 1, a22 functions equal to h^ 2, and so on. The number of such permutations can be found directly and is equal to

+
+5.1 Proofs of Theorem 1.1 and Propositions 1.2,1.3
+
+Here we prove Propositions 1.3, 1.2 and Theorem 1.1.
+
+Proof of Proposition 1.3.
+
+The number of particles #[0,tiN] coincides with the linear statistics SfiN , where fiN := I[0,tiN]. Then the desired convergence would follow from the Central Limit Theorem 4.1

+
+In the case i = j convergence (5.1) follows from (1.2). Assume that i > j. Since
+
+SfiN - SfjN = #[tjN,tiN], due to (1.2) we have
+
+Var(SfiN - SfjN ) = -2 ln N + O(1).
+
+Then (5.1) follows from (1.2) and the obvious relation
+
+1 Cov(SfiN , Sfj ) = 2 Var SfiN + Var SfjN - Var(SfiN - SfjN ) .

+The following simple result is established in the next section.
+
+Proposition 5.1. We have
+1 1. Var SfN = 22 ln N + O(1).
+2. gt  H1(R), for any t  [0, 1].
+3. gt, gs 1/2 = right-hand side of (1.9), for any t, s  [0, 1].
+We claim that the family of functions f N , gtN1 , . . . , gtNd satisfies assumptions of Theorem 4.3. Indeed, due to Proposition 5.1(1), assumption f.1 is fulfilled with VN = -2 ln N and bf11 = 1/2. Assumptions f.2 -g.2 are fulfilled as well with RN = N and gti = gti since we are in the situation of Example 4.4, in view of Proposition 5.1(2). Then, in due to Proposition 5.1(3), Theorem 4.3 implies the convergence (5.3).
+Step 2. In this step we show that the family of measures {D(N , zN ), N  N} is tight in the space R � C([0, 1], R). To this end, it suffices to prove that the family of measures {D(N ), N  N} is tight in R and the family {D(zN ), N  N} is tight in C([0, 1], R). Indeed, then for any  > 0 we will be able to find compact sets K  R and Kz  C([0, 1], R) such that
+P (N  K) > 1 - /2 and P (zN  Kz) > 1 - /2, for all N.
+
+Then we will have
+
+P (N , zN )  K � Kz = P (N  K) - P (N  K, zN / Kz)  P (N  K) - P (zN / Kz) > 1 - .
+
+Tightness of the family of measures {D(N ), N  N} follows from convergence (5.3) since the weak convergence implies the tightness. To show that the family {D(zN ), N  N}
+is tight, we first formulate the following proposition.
+
+Proposition 5.2. Consider a family of bounded measurable functions with compact supports hNt : R  R, 0  t  1, N  N. Assume that for each t and N the function hNt belongs to the Sobolev space H1/2(R). Assume also that there exist constants C,  > 0 such that for any 0  t, s  1 and N  N we have
+
+hN0 1/2  C,
+
+hNt - hNs
+
+2 1/2
+
+
+
+C (t

+-
+

+
+(5.6)
+
+Consider the random process
+
+tN := ShNt - E ShNt , 0  t  1,
+
+40
+
+under the sine-process. Then there exists a continuous modification tN of the process tN such that the family of measures {D(N ), N  N} is tight in the space of continuous functions C([0, 1], R).
+
+Proof of Proposition 5.2 is given in the next section. Now to get the desired tightness of the family {D(zN )}, it remains only to check that assumption (5.6) is satisfied for the functions gtN . Its first part is obvious since g0N = 0. Using that g^tN (u) = N g^t(N u), we find
+
+
+
+
+
+gtN , gsN
+
+1/2 =
+
+N2 22
+
+1 |u|g^t(N u)g^s(N u) du = 22
+
+|v|g^t(v)g^s(v) dv = gt, gs 1/2. (5.7)
+
+-
+
+-
+
+u2 Then, recalling the notation (u) = 22 ln |u|, (0) = 0, and using Proposition 5.1(3), we obtain

+gtN -gsN

+- 
+
+s
+
+t-s (t)-(s)+(s- )-(t- )- ( )
+
+
+-(t-s) =: (t, s)-(t-s).
+
+Since the derivative  (u) is bounded uniformly in u  (0, 1), we have (t, s)  C(t - s)2. Since |(t - s)|  C()(t - s)1+ for any 0 <  < 1, the second part of assumption (5.6)
+is satisfied as well.
+Step 3. In this step we derive the required convergence (1.8) from the first two steps by standard argument. Since the family of measures {D(N , zN ), N  N} is tight, by the Prokhorov Theorem it is weakly compact. Take a subsequence Nk   such that
+
+D(Nk, zNk) D(, z) as k   in R � C([0, 1], R),
+
+where D(, z) is a limit point. Due to (5.3), for any 0  t1 < . . . < td  1 we have
+
+D(, zt1, . . . , ztd) = D(, zt1, . . . , ztd).
+
+Since finite-dimensional distributions specify a process, all the limit points coincide with D(, z), so that we get the desired convergence. Proof of the theorem is completed.
+
+Proof of Proposition 1.2.
+
+Consider first a cumulant ANk with k  3. Denote by (BmN ) cumulants of the random variable SfN , where the function f N is defined above (5.5). Due to Corollary 3.3 joined
+
+with Lemma 3.4, we have

+
+AN2
+

+
+=
+
+Var SfN -2 ln N
+
+and A2 = Var 
+

+
+Then the desired
+
+estimate follows from Proposition 5.1. Since AN1 = E N = 0 and A1 = E  = 0, the proof
+
+of the proposition is finished.

+
+5.2 Proofs of auxiliary propositions
+
+Here we establish Propositions 5.1 and 5.2 used in the previous section.
+
+Proof of Proposition 5.1. Item 1. Since f N =  -1 I[0,sN] ds, we have SfN =
+0 
+ -1 ShNs ds, where hNs = I[0,sN]. Then, using the Fubini theorem, we get 0
+
+Var SfN = E
+
+
+

+
+
+
+ShNs - E ShNs ds
+
+= 2
+
+Cov(ShNt , ShNs ) dsdt.
+
+0
+
+00
+
+(5.8)
+
+Let us represent the covariance Cov(ShNt , ShNs ) through the variances Var ShNt , Var ShNs as in (5.2). Since ShNs = #[0,sN], we have ShNt - ShNs = #[sN,tN], if t > s. Then, due to the logarithmic grows of the variances (1.2), we obtain
+
+1 Cov(ShNt , ShNs ) = 22 ln N + O(1),
+
+
+for t = s. It can be shown that the integral O(1) dsdt is bounded uniformly in N .
+00
+Now (5.8) implies the desired relation.
+Item 2. Calculating the integrals from (5.5) explicitly, we see that the functions gt are piecewise linear and continuous, so that gt  H1(R). Indeed, for 0  t   we have
+
+
+
+0
+
+
+
+gt(x) = x( -1t - 1)
+
+ t( -1x - 1)
+
+if x  0 or x  , if 0  x  t, if t  x  .
+
+(5.9)
+
+For   t  1,
+

+
+
+
+gt(x) = x( -1t - 1)
+
+ t-x
+
+if x  0 or x  t, if 0  x  , if   x  t.
+
+(5.10)
+
+Item 3. Since g0 = g = 0, in the case t = 0,  or s = 0,  the result is trivial. Assume that t, s = 0,  . By a direct computation we find
+
+g^t(y)
+
+=

+
+Proof of Proposition 5.2. Due to the Kolmogorov-C entsov Theorem (see Theorem 2.8 in [KaSh]) and Problem 2.4.11 from [KaSh], to prove the proposition it suffices to show that

+
+(2) sup E (tN - sN )2  C(t - s)1+ uniformly in 0  s, t  1. N N
+
+43
+
+We have
+
+E (tN - sN )2 = Var ShNt -hNs .
+
+(5.15)
+
+Due to estimate (3.32) of Corollary 3.7, the right-hand side of (5.15) is bounded by
+
+1 2
+
+hNt - hNs
+
+2 1/2
+
+.
+
+Then assumption (5.6) implies item (2) above.

+
+5.3 Proof of Theorem 1.8
+Item 1. Denote m := inf supp  and M := sup supp . It is easy to see that, in view of (1.18), the function Nt has the form
+Nt = I[M,m+Nt] + rtN ,
+where |rtN |  C and the Lebesgue measure Leb(supp rtN )  C1, with constants C, C1 independent from N (see figure 2). Then
+
+Var SNt = Var
+
+S + S I[M,m+Nt]
+
+rtN
+
+= Var SI[M,m+Nt] + Var SrtN + 2 Cov(SI[M,m+Nt] , SrtN ).
+
+(5.16)
+
+In view of (1.2), Var SI[M,m+Nt] = -2 ln N + O(1). Clearly, Var SrtN  C, where C is independent from N . Then the desired relation follows from (5.16) joined with the Cauchy-
+
+Bunyakovsky-Schwartz inequality
+
+Cov(SI[M,m+Nt] , SrtN )  Var SI[M,m+Nt] Var SrtN .
+
+Item 2. To get the desired result it suffices to note that assumptions of Theorem 4.1 are satisfied for the family of functions Nt1 , . . . , Ntd , with VN = -2 ln N and the covariance matrix (bij) from (1.11). Indeed, estimate (4.2) is obvious since the functions Nti are bounded uniformly in N . Assumption (4.1) follows from the logarithmic growth of the variance by the argument similar to that used in the proof of Proposition 1.3.
+Item 3. We follow the same strategy as when proving Theorem 1.1. We set
+
+
+
+t
+
+
+
+fN
+
+:=
+
+1 
+
+Ns ds and gN,t :=
+
+Ns
+
+ds
+
+-
+
+t 
+
+Ns ds.
+
+0
+
+0
+
+0
+
+Then we have
+
+N
+
+=
+
+SfN
+
+-E 
+
+SfN
+
+-1 ln N
+
+and ztN = SgN,t - E SgN,t .
+
+Take any 0  t1 < . . . < td  1. We claim that the functions fN , gN,t1, . . . , gN,td satisfy assumptions of Theorem 4.3 with VN = -2 ln N , RN = N , bf11 = 1/2 and the functions g,ti = gti, where the gti are defined in (5.5). Indeed, note that
+
+Ns =   I[0,sN].
+
+44
+
+Consider the functions f N and gtN , defined above (5.5). We have
+
+fN =  
+
+
+1  I[0,sN] ds
+0
+
+=   fN.
+
+Similarly,
+
+gN,t =   gtN .
+
+(5.17)
+
+As it was shown in the proof of Theorem 1.1, the functions f N , gtNi satisfy assumptions of Theorem 4.3 with VN , RN , bf11 as above and gti = gti. Then, due to Example 4.5, the functions fN , gN,ti fulfil assumptions f.2 -g.2, with the same VN , RN , bf11 and g,ti = gti . To show that assumption f.1 is satisfied as well, it suffices to prove that
+
+1
+
+
+
+Var SfN = 22 ln N + O ln N .
+
+In view of item 1 of the theorem, this can be shown by the argument used in the proof of
+
+Proposition 5.1(1). Now Theorem 4.3 joined with Proposition 5.1(3) implies the conver-
+
+gence
+
+D(N , ztN1 , . . . , ztNd ) D(, zt1, . . . , ztd) as N  ,
+
+(5.18)
+
+where the random variable  and the process zt are as in the formulation of Theorem 1.1. Next we show that the family of measures {D(N , zN ), N  N} is tight. To this end, as
+in Theorem 1.1, it suffices to prove that the family of functions gN,t satisfies assumption (5.6) of Proposition 5.2. The first estimate from (5.6) is obvious since gN,0 = 0. In view of the identity g^N,t = ^g^tN which follows from (5.17), we have
+
+gN,t - gN,s 1/2  ^  gtN - gsN 1/2.
+
+Since   L1(R), the norm ^  is finite. Then it remains to establish the second estimate from (5.6) for the functions gtN . But it was already done in the proof of Theorem 1.1.
+Now, literally repeating arguments from Step 3 of the proof of Theorem 1.1, we see that
+the convergence of finite-dimensional distributions (5.18) together with the tightness of the family of measures D(N , zN ) implies the desired convergence D(N , zN ) D(, z).
+
+Item 4. The proof literally repeats that of Proposition 1.2. The rate of convergence of the cumulants AN2 and A2 in this case is different with that from Proposition 1.2 because of the correction O( ln N ) in item 1 of the theorem (cf. (1.2)).
+
+6 Main order asymptotic for determinantal processes with logarithmically growing variance
+In this section we prove a generalized version of Proposition 1.5 for an important class of determinantal processes. The latter includes processes with logarithmically growing variance, e.g. the sine, Bessel and Airy processes.
+Let hN : [0, 1] � Rm  R be a family of Borel measurable bounded functions with compact supports. Consider the linear statistics
+ShNt := hN (t, x)
+xX
+45
+
+as a random variable under a determinantal process given by a Hermitian kernel KN . Denote by VarN , CovN and EN the corresponding variance, covariance and expectation.
+Proposition 6.1. Assume that there exists a sequence VN   as N  , VN > 0, such that the following three conditions hold.
+
+1. There exists a constant C such that for any N and almost all t  [0, 1] we have
+
+VarN ShNt  C. VN
+
+(6.1)
+
+2. There exists b  R such that for almost all (t, s)  [0, 1]2 we have CovN (ShNt , ShNs ) N b. VN
+
+(6.2)
+
+3. We have
+
+hN  = o( VN ).
+
+Denote

+
+ShNt

+
+EN
+
+ShNt

+
+VN
+

+
+Then for any functions 1, . . . , n  L1[0, 1], n  1, we have
+
+1
+
+1
+
+1
+
+1
+
+D 1(t)tN dt, . . . , n(t)tN dt N D  1(s) ds, . . . ,  n(s) ds ,
+
+0
+
+0
+
+0
+
+0
+
+(6.3)
+
+where   N (0, b).
+
+The principal assumption of Proposition 6.1 is (6.2). In particular, it is satisfied for determinantal processes with the logarithmic growth of the variance. Let us explain this on the following examples. Consider the sine or the Bessel process and the linear statistics corresponding to the function
+
+hN (t, x) = I[0,Nt](x), so that ShNt = #[0,tN]. It is known that for 0 < a < b we have
+
+Var #[aN,bN]  C ln N as N  ,
+
+for the both processes (see (1.2) for the sine-process and [So00a] for the Bessel process). Then, literally repeating arguments from the proof of the convergence (5.1), we obtain (6.2) with b = 1/2 and VN = C ln N . The same holds for the Airy process, if one puts hN (t, x) = I[-Nt,0](x) (so that ShNt = #[-tN,0]) and a < b < 0.
+It can be checked that in the examples above the other assumptions of Proposition 6.1 are satisfied as well, so that the convergence (6.3) takes place. In particular, taking n = 1 and 1 = I[0,t], we get the following corollary, which is a version of the main order asymptotic from Theorem 1.1 for the Airy and Bessel processes. Set
+
+AN,t
+
+=
+
+#[-tN,0] - E #[-tN,0] Var #[-tN,0]
+
+and
+
+BN,t
+
+=
+
+#[0,tN] - E #[0,tN] . Var #[0,tN]
+
+46
+
+Corollary 6.2.
+
+Under the Airy processes for any 0 
+
+t  1 we have D(
+
+t 0
+
+AN,s
+
+ds)
+
+D(t)
+
+as N
+
+ , where   N (0, 1/2).
+
+Under the Bessel process, we have D(
+
+t 0
+
+BN,s
+
+ds)
+
+D(t).
+
+Similar result holds true for the ergodic integrals under the shift operator (studied in
+Section 1.3). Let  : R  R be a bounded measurable function with compact support
+1
+satisfying (s) ds = 1. Set
+0

+
+Denote
+
+AN,,t := SNA,t - E SNA,t , Var SNA,t
+
+and define BN,,t in the same way.
+
+Corollary 6.3. Assertion of Corollary 6.2 holds if replace the processes AN,s and BN,s by the processes AN,,s and BN,,s.
+
+1
+Proof of Proposition 6.1. Let Ni (x) := i(t)hN (t, x) dt. Using the Fubini theorem,

+
+We claim that the family of functions Ni satisfies assumptions of Theorem 4.1. Indeed, the only condition fulfilment of which is not obvious is (4.1). Let us check it. In view of

+
+so that assumption (4.1) is fulfilled with bij = cij. Now it remains to apply Theorem 4.1. Indeed, since the limiting vector  obtained there is Gaussian with the covariance matrix
+(cij), it coincides in distribution with the random vector from the right-hand side of (6.3).

+Multinomial method for option pricing under Variance Gamma
+Nicola Cantarutti , Jo~ao Guerra
+CEMAPRE - Centre for Applied Mathematics and Economics ISEG - University of Lisbon
+March 7, 2017
+Abstract This paper presents a multinomial method for option pricing when the underlying asset follows an exponential Variance Gamma process. The continuous time Variance Gamma process is approximated by a discrete time Markov chain with the same first four cumulants. This approach is particularly convenient for pricing American and Bermudan options, which can be exercised at any time up to expiration date. Numerical computations of European and American options are presented, and compared with results obtained with finite differences methods and with the Black Scholes model.
+Keywords: American option, L�evy processes, Moment Matching, Multinomial tree, Variance Gamma.
+1 Introduction
+Since the early nineties, a lot of research has been done on the topic of pure jump L�evy processes to describe the dynamics of the asset returns. The main contributions are due to Madan and Seneta (1990), Eberlein and Keller (1995), Geman et al. (1998), Barndorff-Nielsen (1998).
+L�evy processes are stochastic processes with independent and stationary increments that have nice analytical properties and reproduce quite well the statistical features of the financial data. For example, in Figure 1 we show four histograms of the daily log-returns of four indices: the S&P 500 Stock Index, the KOSPI (Korea Composite Stock Price Index), XAO (All Ordinaries Australian Index) and TAIEX (Taiwan Capitalization weighted Stock Index). The histograms are plotted together with the fitted Normal and Variance Gamma (VG) densities. It is straightforward to check that the VG density reproduces much better the high peaks near the origin, and the heavy tails of the empirical data.

+Figure 1: Histogram of daily log-returns for S&P500, KOSPI, XAO and TAIEX. The dashed line corresponds to the VG density (10). The continuous line is the normal density. The parameters for both densities are obtained by the method of moments. See for example (Seneta (2004)).
+The Variance Gamma process is a pure jump L�evy process with infinite activity. This means that when the magnitude of the jumps becomes infinitesimally small, the arrival rate of jumps tends to infinity. The first complete presentation of the symmetric VG model is due to Madan and Seneta (1990) where, with respect to the Normal case, only an additional parameter is introduced to control the kurtosis, while the skewness is still not considered. The authors model the log-returns as a driftless Brownian motion with a random Gamma distributed variance. This is the origin of the name "Variance Gamma".
+There are two representations of the VG process. In the first, the VG process is obtained by time changing a Brownian motion with drift: the Brownian motion is evaluated at random times that are Gamma distributed. A possible interpretation is that the economical relevant times are random. The nonsymmetric VG process is described by Madan et al. (1998), where the authors also presented an explicit form of the return density function and closed form formula for the price of a vanilla European option. The authors consider a Brownian motion with drift, and this gives the possibility to control the skewness as well.
+The path of the VG process looks like the path of the Brownian motion, because the VG has an infinite number of jumps in any time interval, but it does not have a continuous martingale component. Another difference with the Brownian motion is that the VG process has finite variation, therefore the sum of the absolute value of the jumps in any time interval converges. This property
+2
+
+can be derived easily by the second representation of the VG process as the difference of two (finite variation) Gamma processes. The proof can be found in Madan et al. (1998), where the authors show that the two representations are equivalent, and also derive the VG characteristic function as the product of two Gamma characteristic functions. This representation has another interesting economical interpretation as the difference of gains and losses. The Gamma processes are always increasing, therefore this representation is coherent with independent gains and losses.
+The VG process was first presented in the context of option pricing in Madan and Milne (1991), where it was used in the pricing of European options. The problem for European options can be easily solved by the analytical formula of Madan et al. (1998) or numerically by different techniques. Monte Carlo methods for VG are presented in Fu (2000). A finite difference scheme for the VG Partial Integro-Differential Equation (PIDE) is described in Cont and Voltchkova (2005). In Carr and Madan (1998), the authors show how to solve the option pricing problem using the Fourier transform method. The problem for American options is considered in Hirsa and Madan (2001) and Almendral and Oosterlee (2007), where finite difference schemes are applied to solve the American options PIDE for VG.
+The tree method was first introduced by Cox et al. (1979) for a market where the log-price can change only in two different ways: an upward jump, or a downward jump. For this reason this discrete model is called binomial model. The authors prove that when the number of time steps increases, the discrete random walk of the log-price converges to the Brownian motion and the option price converges to that of Black and Scholes (1973). Multinomial models are a generalization of the binomial model and at each time step it considers more than just two possible future states. In this work we consider multinomial methods as developed by Yamada and Primbs (2001), Yamada and Primbs (2003) and Yamada and Primbs (2004). The multinomial method has been applied to option pricing under Variance Gamma as an example in Ssebugenyi and Konlack (2013). We want to give a full description of the features of the multinomial method for the VG process.
+In Section 2 we present the basic features of L�evy processes, in particular finite variation processes. The VG process and exponential VG are introduced in the successive subsections. A short summary of some useful concepts such as Poisson integration, and the relation between the L�evy symbol with the cumulants are collected in the Appendices A and B. In Section 3 we review the construction of the multinomial tree that approximates the VG process following the method of moment matching proposed by Yamada and Primbs (2001). We prove that the multinomial tree converges to the continuous time jump process that we introduce to approximate the VG process. In Section 4, which is the most important of the paper, we describe the algorithm for pricing options with the multinomial method and show the numerical results for European and American options. In Section 5 we present a topic that deserves further research. We show how to obtain the parameters of the discrete time Markov chain that approximates the VG process, by discretizing its infinitesimal generator. However, using this method, the transition probabilities are not always positive. These coincide with the probabilities obtained with the moment matching condition only for a particular choice of the parameters. This topic can be further investigated. In Section 6 there are the conclusions.

+2 L�evy processes
+
+Let Xt be a stochastic process defined on a probability space (, F , (Ft0), P), Xt is said to be a L�evy process if it satisfies the three properties:
+
+1. X0 = 0.
+
+2. Xt has independent and stationary increments.
+
+3. Xt is stochastically continuous:  , t > 0 limh0 P |Xt+h - Xt| > = 0.
+The characteristic function of every L�evy process Xt has the L�evy-Khintchine representation:
+
+Xt (u) = E[eiuXt ]
+
+(1)
+
+= et(u)
+
+= exp
+
+t
+
+ibu - 1 ~2u2 + 2
+
+eiux - 1 - iux1(|x|<1)(x) (dx)
+R
+
+,
+
+where (u) is called L�evy symbol, b  R and ~  0 are constants1 and (dx) is the L�evy measure which satisfies:
+
+({0}) = 0,
+
+(1  x2)(dx) < .
+
+(2)
+
+R
+
+The L�evy triplet (b, ~, ) completely characterizes a L�evy process. Every L�evy process can be written as the superposition of a drift, a Brownian motion and two pure jump processes. This is the so called L�evy-It�o decomposition:
+
+dXt = bdt + ~dWt +
+
+xN (dt, dx) +
+
+xN~ (dt, dx),
+
+(3)
+
+|x|1
+
+|x|<1
+
+where Wt is a standard Brownian motion, N (dt, dx) and N~ (dt, dx) are the Poisson random measure and the compensated Poisson random measure (see Appendix A).
+We are interested in particular in processes with finite variation and finite moments. We see that the L�evy measure contains all the information we need:
+
+� A L�evy process with triplet (b, ~, ) is of finite variation if and only if
+
+~ = 0 and
+
+|x|(dx) < .
+
+(4)
+
+|x|<1
+
+� A L�evy process has finite moment of order n, E[Xtn] < , if and only if
+
+|x|n(dx) < .
+
+(5)
+
+|x|1
+
+For a proof see Applebaum (2009), Theorem 2.4.25 and Theorem 2.5.2. As a
+conseguence of these two properties, the truncator term 1(|x|<1) can be absorbed
+1The diffusion coefficients is usually referred as . Here we call it ~ because we will call  a parameter of the VG process.
+

+
+in the parameter b. It is easy to verify that every finite variation L�evy process can be represented as an integral of a Poisson random measure:
+
+Xt = b t +
+
+xN (t, dx),
+
+(6)
+
+R\{0}
+
+with b = b - |x|<1 x(dx). The L�evy symbol is:
+
+(u) = ib u + (eiux - 1)(dx).
+

+
+2.1 The Variance Gamma process
+
+The VG process is obtained by time changing a Brownian motion with drift.
+The new time variable is a stochastic process Tt whose increments are Gamma distributed and Tt  (�t, ) with density2:
+
+fTt (x)
+

+e-
+

+
+x  0.
+
+(8)
+
+The Gamma process Tt is a subordinator. A subordinator is a one dimensional L�evy process that is non-decreasing almost surely. Therefore it is consistent to represent a time variable. It is possible to prove that every subordinator is a finite variation process (see Applebaum (2009)).
+Consider a Brownian motion with drift Xt = t + Wt, with Wt  N (0, t), and replace the time variable by the Gamma subordinator Tt  (t, ) (with � = 1). We obtain the Variance Gamma process:
+
+Xt = Tt + WTt .
+
+(9)
+
+It depends on three parameters:
+
+� , the drift of the Brownian motion,
+
+� , the volatility of the Brownian motion,
+
+� , the variance of the Gamma process.
+The probability density function of Xt can be computed conditioning on the realization of Tt:
+
+fXt (x) = fXt,Tt (x, y)dy = fXt|Tt (x|y)fTt (y)dy

+
+Using the formula (68) in Appendix B for the cumulants we derive:
+

+

+
+c2 = t(2 + 2)
+
+c3 = t(232 + 32)
+
+c4 = t(34 + 12222 + 643).
+

+
+
+
+(15)
+
+It satisfies conditions (4) and (5). The finite variation process can be represented as a pure jump process as in (6) and (7), with no additional drift b = 0.
+
+Xt =
+
+xN (t, dx).
+
+(16)
+
+R\{0}
+
+All the informations are contained in the L�evy measure (15), which completely describes the process. Even if the process has been created by Brownian subordination, it has no diffusion component. The L�evy triplet is (0, 0, ). Using the formalism of Poisson integrals in Appendix A, the L�evy symbol (13) has the representation4:
+
+(u) = (eiux - 1)(dx).
+
+(17)
+
+R
+
+2.2 Exponential VG model
+Under the risk neutral measure Q, the dynamics of the stock price is described by an exponential L�evy model :
+
+St = S0ert+Xt ,
+
+(18)
+
+3In Madan et al. (1998) the authors derive the expression for the L�evy measure using the
+VG representation as the difference of two Gamma processes and then change the parameters. 4See Example 8.10 in Sato (1999).
+
+6
+
+where r is the risk free interest rate, and Xt is a general L�evy process. Under Q, the discounted price is a Q-martingale:
+
+EQ Ste-rt S0 = EQ S0eXt S0 = S0,
+
+(19)
+
+and so EQ[eXt |X0 = 0] = 1. The condition for the existence of the exponential moment E[eXt ] <  is equivalent to
+
+ex(dx) < ,
+
+(20)
+
+|x|>1
+
+as proved in Lemma 25.7 in Sato (1999). For the VG process it is easy to
+verify that it is satisfied. We need to add a correction term to Xt to satisfy the martingale condition5. The following process is a martingale:
+
+St = S0e(r+)t+Xt .
+
+(21)
+
+where
+
+w

+

+

+

+
+Yt = Y0 + (r + )t +
+
+xN (t, dx).
+
+(22)
+
+R\{0}
+
+Let V (t, Yt) be the value of an option at time t. We assume that V (t, y)  C1,1([t0, T ], R) and has a polinomial growth. By the martingale pricing theory, the discounted price of the option is a martin-
+gale. From this it is possible to derive the partial integro-differential equation
+(PIDE) for the price of the option
+
+EQ d e-rtV (t, Yt)
+
+= V (t, y) + LYt V (t, y) - rV (t, y) = 0, t
+
+(23)
+
+where LYt V (t, Yt) is the infinitesimal generator of the log-price process (22). The resulting PIDE is
+
+V (t, y)
+
+V (t, y)

+
++ V (t, y + x) - V (t, y) (dx) = rV (t, y). (24)

+
+3 The multinomial method
+
+In this section we introduce the multinomial method proposed in Yamada and Primbs (2004). The stock price is considered as a Markov chain with L possible future states at each time. In this setting, the time t  [t0, T ] is discretized as tn = t0 + nt for n = 0, ..., N and t = (T - t0)/N . We denote the stock price at time tn as S(tn) = Sn.
+Consider the up/down factors u > d > 0 and write the discrete evolution of the stock price Sn as:
+
+Sn+1 = uL-ldl-1Sn
+
+l = 1, ..., L
+
+(25)
+
+5 To find the correction  we have to find the exponential moment of Xt using its characteristic function:
+E[eXt ] = Xt (-i) = e-t
+.
+
+7
+
+where each future state has transition probability pl, satisfying
+
+L l=1
+
+pl
+
+=
+
+1.
+
+The value of the stock at time tn can assume j  [1, n(L - 1) + 1] possible
+
+values:
+
+Sn(j) = un(L-l)+1-j dj-1S0.
+
+(26)
+
+The multinomial tree is recombining if for a constant c > 1, u/d = c. Regarding our work, we only consider five branches, L = 5. As explained in Yamada and Primbs (2004), this number of branches is enough to model the features of a stochastic process up to its fourth moment.
+
+3.1 Moment matching
+To determine the parameters of the Markov chain we ask for the local moments to be equal to that of the continuous process. First, rewrite the continuous process (22) as the sum of a drift term and a martingale term:
+
+Yt+t - Yt = (r + )t +
+
+xN (t, dx)
+
+(27)
+
+R\{0}
+
+= (r +  + )t +
+
+xN~ (t, dx)
+
+R\{0}
+
+where  = x(dx) is the mean of the Poisson process (for t = 1), and the
+R
+compensated Poisson integral term is a martingale (see Appendix A). We can pass to log-prices Yn = log(Sn) in the discrete Eq. (25), and write
+it as the sum of a drift component and a random variable with L possible outcomes:
+
+Y = Yn+1 - Yn = (L - l) log(u) + (l - 1) log(d)
+
+(28)
+
+= b t + (L - 2l + 1)(t).
+
+The term b t is the drift term, while (L - 2l + 1)(t) is a random variable that satisfies the martingale condition
+
+L
+E (L - 2l + 1)(t) = (t) pl(L - 2l + 1) = 0,
+l=1
+with (t) a function of t. The corresponding up/down factors have the following representation:
+
+b
+
+b
+
+u = exp
+
++ (t)
+
+d = exp
+
+- (t) ,
+
+(29)
+
+L-1
+
+L-1
+
+and we can readily see that if u/d is constant, the tree recombines. Given the mean c1 = E[Y ] = bt, the k-central moment is
+
+E (Y - c1)k = (t)k E (L - 2l + 1)k .
+
+(30)
+
+The moment matching condition requires that the central moments of the dis-
+
+crete process (28) are equal to the central moments of the continuous process
+
+(27):
+
+(t)k E (L - 2l + 1)k = �k.
+
+(31)
+
+8
+
+Using the relation between central moments and cumulants (Eq. (69) in Appendix B) we can solve the linear system of equations for the transition probabilities:
+
+1 p1 = 196(t)4
+
+3 2
+

+
+1 p3 = 1 + 196(t)4
+

+
+1 p4 = 196(t)4
+

+-
+
+2c2(t)2
+
+-
+
+2c3(t)
+
++
+
+1 2 c4
+
+.
+
+The drift parameter (for t = 1) can be easily computed as b = r +  + .
+
+The only missing parameter to determine is (t). This is a function of the
+
+time increment t and can be determined using the higher order in the moment
+
+matching condition together with the condition of positive probabilities.
+
+Recall that in the well known binomial model for a diffusion process, it takes the value (t) = ~ t, and represents the volatility of the increments
+
+in t, see Cox et al. (1979). In the trinomial model, it takes the well known
+
+value
+
+(t)
+
+=
+
+3 4
+
+~
+
+t, see for instance Yamada and Primbs (2001). For the
+
+multinomial method a good representation for the parameter is
+
+ 3 + �
+
+(t) = c2
+
+, 12
+
+(33)
+
+where � = c4/c22 is the excess of kurtosis6. We refer to the paper of Yamada and Primbs (2004) for the derivation. This choice guarantees that the probabilities
+pi for i = 1...5 are always positive and sum to one. We can use the formula (33), together with (32), to obtain the simpler form:
+
+
+
+
+
+3 + � + s 9 + 3� 3 + � - s 9 + 3�
+
+[p1, p2, p3, p4, p5] =
+
+4(3 + �)2 , 2(3 + �)2 ,
+
+(34)
+
+

+
+
+3 + 2� 3 + � + s 9 + 3� 3 + � - s 9 + 3�
+
+, 2(3 + �)
+
+2(3 + �)2
+
+,
+
+4(3 + �)2
+
+,
+
+where s = c3/ c32 is the skewness.
+Remark 1. The standard deviation of a L�evy process with finite moments follows the square root rule. This means that the term (t) has to be proportional to the square root of t. In the binomial and trinomial models, the proportionality constant is explicit, while for the pentanomial method it is implicit in the formula (33). Expanding the formula using the expression (14) for the cumulants, it is possible to check that the square root rule is satisfied at first order in
+t.
+6We use the bar over , to distinguish the kurtosis from the variance of the gamma process .
+
+9
+
+3.2 Convergence
+
+In this section we show that the multinomial method converges to a compound Poisson process when the time step goes to zero.
+We call a generic jump process (6), with the same first four cumulants (14) of the original VG process (22), the approximated VG process XA. The cumulant generating function of the increment XA has the following series representation (see Appendix (B)):
+
+HXA (u)

+
+ic3u3 3!

++
+
+c4u4 4!
+
++
+
+O(u5).
+
+(35)
+
+We can check that this expression holds for the VG increments as well, simply by using a Taylor expansion up to the fourth order on the VG L�evy exponent (13), and adding the addidional drift term c1 = bt = (r +  + )t.
+
+Theorem 3.1. The increments of the discrete Markov chain (28) and the increments of the approximated VG process XA have the same distribution.
+
+Proof. The idea of the proof is to show that the cumulant generating function of the discrete process (28) coincides with that of the approximated VG process (35). We prove it using the moment matching condition (31).
+
+HY (u) = log Y (u) = log E eiuY = log E eiu bt+(L-2l+1)(t) = iubt + log E eiu (L-2l+1)(t) .
+
+(36)
+
+We can expand in Taylor series up to the fourth order in u, and use the moment matching condition (31) to obtain:
+
+HY (u) = log

+

+= HXA (u),
+
+where c0 = 0.
+Remark 2. The proof can be easly generalized for a Taylor expansion of order n. For n  , the approximated VG process converges to the original VG process. However the number of branches of the discrete tree goes to infinity as well. The five branches we consider are enough to describe the features of the underlying process and, at the same time, keep the numerical problem quite simple.
+
+10
+
+Theorem 3.2. The distribution of the multinomial tree at time N converges to the distribution of the approximated VG process at time N , when t  0.
+For the proof of this theorem we refer to the proof in Section 4.2 of Yamada and Primbs (2004). They prove that when the t  0 the characteristic funcion of the multinomial tree converges to the characteristic function of a Poisson process.
+
+4 Numerical results
+In this section we present the steps to implement the algorithm to price European and American options by the multinomial method. Then we compare the results with the ones obtained by the PIDE method and Black-Scholes model.
+
+4.1 Algorithm
+In order to implement the multinomial method, we suggest the following algorithm:
+1. Compute the transition probabilities vector (34).
+2. Compute the up/down factors u and d (29) and then the vector of prices SN at terminal time N as in Eq. (26).
+3. Evaluate the payoff of the option V N (SN ) at terminal time N .
+4. Compute the values of the option at the previous time level. The value is the conditional expectation given the current value of the price of the five future option values:
+
+V n = e-rtEQ V n+1(Sn+1) Sn(k) = s(nk) .
+
+(38)
+
+5. In computing the price of an American option, the value at the previous time level is the maximum between the conditional expectation and the intrinsic value of the option. For an American put we have:
+
+V n = max e-rtEQ V n+1(Sn+1) Sn(k) = s(nk) , K - Sn(k) .
+
+(39)
+
+6. Iterate the algorithm until the initial time t0.
+Fo the the parameters calibration with market data, sometimes it is common to estimate the historical values of the parameters and use them as initial guess for the least squares minimization. In the paper Seneta (2004), there are explained methods for historical parameters estimation for the VG process. We used the simple method of moments to estimate the parameters for the data in Fig. 1. In our calculation we assume the following values for the risk neutral VG parameters:

+
+4.2 European options
+We compare the numerical results obtained for European call and put options with the values obtained solving the VG PIDE, Eq. (24).
+� VG PIDE : We solve the partial integro-differential equation following the method proposed by Cont and Voltchkova (2005). The L�evy measure is singular in the origin and this is a problem for the computation of the integral term. The authors propose to approximate the small jumps with infinite activity, with a Brownian motion. Therefore the original VG process becomes an approximated jump diffusion process. The associated PIDE is then solved with the implicit-explicit scheme proposed in the same paper.
+� Multinomial : We follow the algorithm proposed in the previous section. The number of time steps for all the computations is N = 2000.
+
+Figure 2: European call option with strike K = 40 and time to maturity 1 year.
+Figures (2) and (3) show that the prices obtained by the multinomial method agree with the prices obtained by solving the VG PIDE. In table 2 there are collected some values for the call/put options.
+There are many other methods to compute the price of an European call and put option, such as the closed formula developed by Madan et al. (1998), the FFT method of Carr and Madan (1998) and the Monte Carlo algorithms explained in Cont and Tankov (2003). The big advantage of the multinomial

+4.3 American options
+In this section we present the numerical results for American put options and compare them with the prices obtained with the Black-Scholes model.
+In Table (3), we present some results for European and American put options using the Black Scholes and the Variance Gamma models. We choose the parameters and the values of strike and spot price in order to compare with other computations in the literature. The reader may compare our results with those obtained in Longstaff and Schwartz (2001).
+Even if we compare results obtained with two different processes, the comparison makes sense as long as the processes have the same mean and variance. At first order approximation, we can ignore the term in 2 appearing in the formula for c2. Therefore c2 = t(2 + 2)  t2.
+The Black-Scholes prices are computed using a binomial algorithm. Of course the same values can be obtained with the multinomial algorithm in the

+
+The coefficients can be interpreted as the (risk neutral) transition probabilities for the Markov chain:

+
+It is straightforward to verify that the probabilities sum to 1. The value of the option in the previous time step is thus the discounted expectation under the risk neutral probability measure Q:

+Define the increments X = X(tn+1) - X(tn). We check that the local properties for the moments of the Markov chain are satisfied:
+
+� = E[X] = r +  + c~1 t
+
+(50)
+
+�2 = E[X2] = c~2t
+
+(51)
+
+�3 = E[X3] = (r +  + c~1)h2 + c~3 t
+
+(52)
+
+�4 = E[X4] = c~2h2 + c~4 t.
+
+(53)
+
+At first order in t we can calculate the variance, skewness and kurtosis7 :

+
+So, with a step size h proportional to the square root of t as in (33), we confirm that the local variance, skewness and kurtosis are consistent with their definition in terms of cumulants, up to a constant factor.
+Using the a step size h = 2(t), these probabilities can be approximated by the probabilities in (34). However, the probabilities obtained by the discretization of the PDE are not always positive. The two sets of probabilities are close only for a well determined set of parameters. This can be a topic of further research. We can plot, for example, the two probabilities obtained respectively by Moment Matching and PDE discretization:

+6 Conclusions
+In this paper we show how to price options using a multinomial method when the underlying price is modelled as a Variance Gamma process. The multinomial method is well known in the literature, see for example Cont and Tankov (2003), Yamada and Primbs (2001), Yamada and Primbs (2003) and Yamada and Primbs (2003), but in this work we focus the analysis only on the VG process and compare the numerical results with other methods.
+The VG process is approximated by a general jump process that has the same first four cumulants of the original VG process. We proved that the multinomial method converges to this approximated process. We obtained numerical results for European and American options, and compared them with PIDE methods and with results computed within the Black Scholes framework. It turns out that the multinomial method is faster than Finite Differences methods and easier to implement.
+We proposed a topic of further research in Section 5. The probabilities obtained by discretizing the approximated PDE are not always positive. They are related with the probabilities obtained by moment matching for some particular choice of the parameters. This relation can be further investigated. Another possible topic of further research is the comparison of our results for the American options with other numerical methods such as the Least Square Monte Carlo (Longstaff and Schwartz (2001)) and finite differences (Almendral and Oosterlee (2007)).

+
+A Poisson integration
+
+A convenient tool to analyse the jumps of a L�evy process is the random measure of jumps. Within this formalism it is possible to describe jump processes with infinite activity, as the VG process. The jump process associated to the L�evy process Xt is defined, for each 0  t  T , by:
+
+Xt = Xt - Xt-
+
+(57)
+
+where Xt- = limst Xs. Consider the set A  B(R\{0}) , the random measure of the jumps of Xt is defined by:
+
+N (t, A)() = #{Xs()  A : 0  s  t}
+
+(58)
+
+= 1A(Xs()).
+st
+
+This measure counts the number of jumps of size in A, up to time t. We say that A  B(R\{0}) is bounded below if 0  A� (zero does not belong to the closure
+
+of A). If A is bounded below, then N (t, A) <  and is a Poisson process with
+
+intensity
+
+(A) = E[N (1, A)],
+
+(59)
+
+(see Applebaum (2009) theorem 2.3.4 and 2.3.5). If A is not bounded below,
+
+it is possible to have (A) =  and N (t, A) is not a Poisson process because
+
+of the accumulation of infinite numbers of small jumps. The process N (t, A) is
+
+called Poisson random measure. The L�evy measure corresponds to the intensity
+
+of the Poisson measure. The Compensated Poisson random measure is defined
+
+by
+
+N~ (t, A) = N (t, A) - t(A),
+
+(60)
+
+which is a martingale. The next step is to define the integration with respect to a random measure.
+Following Applebaum (2009), let f : R  R be a Borel-measurable function. For any A bounded below, we define the Poisson integral of f as:
+
+f (x)N (t, dx)() = f (x)N (t, {x})().
+
+(61)
+
+A
+
+xA
+
+For the case of integration of the identity funcion, we see that every compound Poisson process can be represented by:
+
+t
+
+Xt =
+
+Xs =
+
+xN (dt, dx) = xN (t, dx).
+
+(62)
+
+s[0,t]
+
+0R
+
+R
+
+18
+
+We can also define in the same way the compensated Poisson integral with respect the compensated Poisson measure. Consider now the discontinuous part of a L�evy process whose jumps bigger than one are removed. Define
+
+xN~ (t, dx) = lim
+
+xN~ (t, dx),
+
+|x|<1
+
+0 <|x|<1
+
+(63)
+
+that represent the compensated sum of small jumps.
+We present a last formula for computing the moments of a general com-
+pound Poisson process. Let f : R  R be a measurable function such that A |f (x)|(dx) < , and Xt = A f (x)N (t, dx), the characteristic function of Xt is:
+
+E[eiuXt ] = E exp iu f (x)N (t, dx))
+
+(64)
+
+A
+
+= exp t eiuf(x) - 1  A  f -1(dx) .
+R
+
+Assuming that E[Xtn] < , all the moments can be computed from (64) by differenciation using eq:
+
+E[Xtn] =
+
+1 nXt (u) in un
+
+,
+u=0
+
+n  N.
+
+(65)
+
+For the case of f identity function, A = R, and  satisfying the integrability conditions, we find the expression for the cumulants using (68).
+
+cn = t xn(dx).
+
+(66)
+
+R
+
+The cumulants of Xt are thus the moments of its L�evy measure.
+
+B Cumulants
+
+The cumulant generating function HXt (u) of Xt is defined as the natural logarithm of its characteristic function (see Cont and Tankov (2003)). Using the L�evy-Khintchine representation for the characteristic function (1), it is easy to find its relation with the L�evy simbol:
+
+HXt (u) = log(Xt (u))
+
+(67)
+
+= t(u)
+
+ (iu)n = cn n!
+n=1
+
+The cumulants of a L�evy process are thus defined by:
+
+t n(u)
+
+cn = in un
+
+.
+u=0
+
+(68)
+
+19
+
+The cumulants are closely related to the central moments �n:
+
+n n-1
+
+�0 = 1, �1 = 0, �n =
+
+k - 1 ck�n-k for n > 1.
+
+(69)
+
+k=1
+
+For a Poisson process with finite firsts n moments, all the information about the cumulants is contained inside the L�evy measure. Expand in Taylor series the exponential
