On the benefit of concurrent adjustment of active and passive optical sensors with GNSS & raw inertial data

Jan Skaloud, Davide Antonio Cucci, Kyriaki Mouzakidou

In airborne laser scanning a high-frequency trajectory solution is typically determined from inertial sensors and employed to directly geo-reference the acquired laser points. When low-cost MEMS inertial sensors are used, such as in lightweight unmanned ae ...

Hamiltonian truncation in Anti-de Sitter spacetime

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

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

On long time behavior of solutions to nonlinear dispersive equations

Stefano Francesco Burzio

In part I, we address the issue of existence of solutions for Cauchy problems involving nonlinear hyperbolic equations for initial data in Sobolev spaces with scaling subcritical regularity. In particular, we analyse nonlinear estimates for null-forms in t ...

Effective field theory for acoustic and pseudoacoustic phonons in solids

Angelo Esposito, Emma Michèle Ginette Geoffray

We present a relativistic effective field theory for the interaction between acoustic and gapped phonons in the limit of a small gap. We show that, while the former are the Goldstone modes associated with the spontaneous breaking of spacetime symmetries, t ...

Momentum-space conformal blocks on the light cone

Marc Gillioz

We study the momentum-space 4-point correlation function of identical scalar operators in conformal field theory. Working specifically with null momenta, we show that its imaginary part admits an expansion in conformal blocks. The blocks are polynomials in ...

Solving puzzles of spontaneously broken spacetime symmetries

Andrey Shkerin

We establish a classical analog of the Nambu-Goldstone theorem for spontaneous breaking of spacetime symmetries. It provides a counting rule for independent Nambu-Goldstone fields and states which of them are gapped. We demonstrate that only those symmetry ...

Vector-Based 3D Graphic Statics: Transformations of Force Diagrams

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Pierluigi D'Acunto

The reciprocity between form and force diagrams in 2D graphic statics makes it possible to manipulate the form diagram while directly evaluating the redistribution of the forces within the force diagram. Conversely, after modifying the force diagram, the c ...

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

Georgios Karananas

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

Backreaction of particle production on false vacuum decay

As originally described by Rubakov, particles are produced during the tunneling of a metastable quantum field. We propose to extend his formalism to compute the backreaction of these particles on the semiclassical decay probability of the field. The idea i ...
