Abstract: CHANCES, the CHileAN Cluster galaxy Evolution Survey, will study the evolution of galaxies in and around ${\sim}$150 massive galaxy clusters, from the local universe out to z=0.45. CHANCES will use the new 4MOST Spectroscopic Survey Facility on the VISTA 4m telescope to obtain spectra for ${\sim}$500,000 galaxies with magnitudes $r_\mathrm{AB} < 20.5$, providing comprehensive spectroscopic coverage of each cluster out to $5r_{200}$. Its wide and deep scope will trace massive and dwarf galaxies from the surrounding filaments and groups to the cores of galaxy clusters, enabling the study of galaxy pre-processing and the role of the evolving environment on galaxy evolution. In this paper we present and characterize the sample of clusters and superclusters to be targeted by CHANCES. We used literature catalogues based on X-ray emission and Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect to define the cluster sample in a homogeneous way, with attention to cluster mass and redshift, as well as the availability of ancillary data. We calibrated literature mass estimates from various surveys against each other and provide an initial mass estimate for each cluster, which we used to define the radial extent of the 4MOST coverage. We also present an initial assessment of the structure surrounding these clusters based on the redMaPPer red-sequence algorithm as a preview of some of the science CHANCES will enable., Comment: 11 pages, 9 figures, plus references and appendix containing catalog tables, submitted to A&A

2. Geographic and Contextualized Education in the Brazilian Semiarid: Applicability Proposal

Author: José Falcão Sobrinho, Cleire Lima da Costa Falcão, Bruna Lima Carvalho, Francisca Edineide Lima Barbosa, Rejane Maria Lima de Sousa, Nayane Barros Sousa Fernandes, Pedro Henrique Eleotério de Assis, Vanessa Campos Alves, and Raimundo Lenilde de Araújo
Abstract: Geographic education in recent years has undergone major transformations in school curricula, moving from a memorization practice to a critical reflection based on the students' local reality. This is included in official teaching documents. On the other hand, the application of this new approach to applicability problems, largely due to the lack of elements focused on teaching resources that facilitate this process or the training of professionalized teachers before this conceptual change. This is present in the Brazilian semi-arid region, with the insertion of coexistence contextualized with the semi-arid region in the quest to work on education along the lines of applicability of the student's knowledge. That said, we have such an objective here, providing some reflections to reach such a path, an active and participatory teaching.

4. Mode-selective Raman imaging of metal-organic frameworks reveals surface heterogeneities of single HKUST-1 crystals

Author: Ferreira, Matheus Esteves, Del Grande, Mariana, Oliveira, Felipe Lopes, Ferreira, Rodrigo Neumann Barros, da Silva, Ademir Ferreira, Carvalho, Pamela Costa, Lima, Geisa, Jorio, Ado, and Steiner, Mathias

Abstract: Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are nanoporous materials with high surface-to-volume ratio that have potential applications as gas sorbents. Sample quality is, however, often compromised and it is unclear how defects and surface contaminants affect the spectral properties of single MOF crystals. Raman micro-spectroscopy is a powerful tool for characterizing MOFs, yet spatial spectral heterogeneity distributions of single MOF crystals have not been reported so far. In this work, we use Raman micro-spectroscopy to characterize spatially isolated, single crystals of the MOF species HKUST-1. In a first step, we validate HKUST-1's Raman spectrum based on DFT simulations and we identify a previously unreported vibrational feature. In a second step, we acquire diffraction-limited, mode-selective Raman images of a single HKUST-1 crystals that reveal how the spectral variations are distributed across the crystal surface. In a third step, we statistically analyze the measured spectral peak positions and line widths for quantifying the variability occurring within the same crystal as well as between different crystals taken from the same batch. Finally, we explore how multivariate data analysis can aid feature identification in Raman images of single MOF crystals. For enabling validation and reuse, we have made the spectroscopic data and simulation code publicly available.

5. Additional Tests for TV 3.0

Author: Peixoto, Eduardo, Freitas, Pedro Garcia, Farias, Mylene Christine Queiroz, Medeiros, Edil, Menezes, Gabriel Correia Lima da Cunha e, and da Costa, André Henrique Macedo
Subjects: Electrical Engineering and Systems Science - Image and Video Processing
Abstract: In 2023 we have conducted extensive experiments on subjective video quality for the TV 3.0 project at University of Bras\'ilia. A full report on these tests is available at the F\'orum SBTVD website . These tests have evaluated the H.266/VVC codec and a hybrid codec formed by the H.266/VVC and the LCEVC (Low Complexity Enhancement Video Coding) with different resolutions, ranging from 720p to 4K. This report contains the results of additional tests performed for TV 3.0 performed at University of Bras\'ilia. This new experiment consists of two new Video Under Tests (VUTs), one with the H.266/VVC codec at 4K resolution, and the other with the H.266/VVC+LCEVC codec at 4K resolution. In this new test, both codecs have the same GOP size (120 frames) and use the same VVC encoder (MainConcept live encoder). This new experiment follows the same experimental protocol as the previous experiments, in order to be fully comparable to the reported results. This document details the results of the new experiments., Comment: 73 pages

Abstract: The $C\!P$ asymmetry and branching fraction of the CKM-suppressed decay $B^+\!\to J\mskip -3mu/\mskip -2mu\psi\,\pi^+$ are precisely measured relative to the favoured decay $B^+\!\to J\mskip -3mu/\mskip -2mu\psi\,K^+$, using a sample of proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $5.4~\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ recorded at center-of-mass energy of $13~\mathrm{TeV}$ during 2016--2018. The results of the $C\!P$ asymmetry difference and branching fraction ratio are \begin{align*} \Delta\mathcal{A}^{C\!P} &\equiv \mathcal{A}^{C\!P}(B^+ \to J\mskip -3mu/\mskip -2mu\psi\,\pi^+) - \mathcal{A}^{C\!P}(B^+ \to J\mskip -3mu/\mskip -2mu\psi\,K^+) = (1.29 \pm 0.49 \pm 0.08) \times 10^{-2}, \end{align*} \begin{equation*} \mathcal{R}_{\pi/K} \equiv \frac{\mathcal{B}(B^+ \!\to J\mskip -3mu/\mskip -2mu\psi\,\pi^+)}{\mathcal{B}(B^+ \!\to J\mskip -3mu/\mskip -2mu\psi\,K^+)} = (3.852 \pm 0.022 \pm 0.018) \times 10^{-2}. \end{equation*} where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second systematic. A combination with previous LHCb results based on data collected at $7$ and $8~\mathrm{TeV}$ in 2011 and 2012 yields $\Delta\mathcal{A}^{C\!P} = (1.42 \pm 0.43 \pm 0.08) \times 10^{-2}$ and $\mathcal{R}_{\pi/K} = (3.846 \pm 0.018 \pm 0.018) \times 10^{-2}$. The combined $\Delta\mathcal{A}^{C\!P}$ value deviates from zero by 3.2 standard deviations, providing the first evidence for direct $C\!P$ violation in the amplitudes of beauty decays to charmonium final states., Comment: 18 pages, 2 figures, no conference or journal information All figures and tables, along with machine-readable versions and any supplementary material and additional information, are available at https://lbfence.cern.ch/alcm/public/analysis/full-details/1623/ (LHCb public pages)

Abstract: An angular analysis of the $B_s^0 \rightarrow \phi e^+e^-$ decay is performed using the proton-proton collision dataset collected between 2011 and 2018 by the LHCb experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $9\,{\rm fb}^{-1}$ at centre-of-mass energies of 7, 8 and $13\,{\rm TeV}$. The analysis is performed in the very low dielectron invariant mass-squared region between $0.0009$ and $0.2615\,{\rm GeV}^2\!/c^4$. The longitudinal polarisation fraction of the $\phi$ meson is measured to be less than $11.5\%$ at $90\%$ confidence level. The $A_{\mathrm{T}}^{\mathcal{R}e C\!P}$ observable, which is related to the lepton forward-backward asymmetry, is measured to be $0.116 \pm 0.155 \pm 0.006$, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. The transverse asymmetries, $A_{\mathrm{T}}^{(2)}$ and $A_{\mathrm{T}}^{\mathcal{I}m C\!P}$ , which are sensitive to the virtual photon polarisation, are found to be $-0.045 \pm 0.235 \pm 0.014$ and $0.002 \pm 0.247 \pm 0.016$, respectively. The results are consistent with Standard Model predictions., Comment: 21 pages, 4 figures.

Abstract: Software bots, extensively adopted by Open Source Software (OSS) projects, support developers across several activities, from automating predefined tasks to generating code that aids software engineers. However, with the growing prominence of bots, questions have emerged regarding the extension to which they truly assist or hinder software engineers in their routine tasks. To address this, an exploratory survey was conducted with 37 software engineers to gather insights into their views on the use of bots within the software development process. The findings suggest that bots are present across multiple phases of the software development lifecycle, providing daily support to professionals by enhancing productivity and facilitating task automation. Respondents stated that current bots are not sufficiently intelligent and raised new challenges and enhancements to aid bot designers in developing additional functionalities and integrations., Comment: 6 pages, 6 figures, 3 tables

11. Newton's Method Applied to Nonlinear Boundary Value Problems: A Numerical Approach

Author: Freire, Rusdrael Antony de Araújo, Barboza, Francisco Márcio, and Barboza, Márcio Matheus de Lima
Subjects: Mathematics - Numerical Analysis, Mathematics - Optimization and Control
Abstract: This work investigates the application of the Newton's method for the numerical solution of a nonlinear boundary value problem formulated through an ordinary differential equation (ODE). Nonlinear ODEs arise in various mathematical modeling contexts, where an exact solution is often unfeasible due to the intrinsic complexity of these equations. Thus, a numerical approach is employed, using Newton's method to solve the system resulting from the discretization of the original problem. The procedure involves the iterative formulation of the method, which enables the approximation of solutions and the evaluation of convergence with respect to the problem parameters. The results demonstrate that Newton's method provides a robust and efficient solution, highlighting its applicability to complex boundary value problems and reinforcing its relevance for the numerical analysis of nonlinear systems. It is concluded that the methodology discussed is suitable for solving a wide range of boundary value problems, ensuring precision and stability in the results., Comment: 9 pages, 2 figures

12. Unlocking Legal Knowledge with Multi-Layered Embedding-Based Retrieval

Author: Lima, João Alberto de Oliveira
Subjects: Computer Science - Artificial Intelligence, Computer Science - Information Retrieval, I.2.7
Abstract: This work addresses the challenge of capturing the complexities of legal knowledge by proposing a multi-layered embedding-based retrieval method for legal and legislative texts. Creating embeddings not only for individual articles but also for their components (paragraphs, clauses) and structural groupings (books, titles, chapters, etc), we seek to capture the subtleties of legal information through the use of dense vectors of embeddings, representing it at varying levels of granularity. Our method meets various information needs by allowing the Retrieval Augmented Generation system to provide accurate responses, whether for specific segments or entire sections, tailored to the user's query. We explore the concepts of aboutness, semantic chunking, and inherent hierarchy within legal texts, arguing that this method enhances the legal information retrieval. Despite the focus being on Brazil's legislative methods and the Brazilian Constitution, which follow a civil law tradition, our findings should in principle be applicable across different legal systems, including those adhering to common law traditions. Furthermore, the principles of the proposed method extend beyond the legal domain, offering valuable insights for organizing and retrieving information in any field characterized by information encoded in hierarchical text., Comment: 27 pages, 10 figures

13. Black-hole evaporation for cosmological observers

Abstract: In the present work, evaporation of a black hole immersed in a de Sitter environment is considered. Vaidya-de Sitter spacetime is used to model the process in a scenario of accelerated expansion of the Universe. The role of observers is highlighted in the development and Hayward thermodynamics for non stationary geometries is employed in the description of the compact objects. The results of the proposed dynamical model are compared with the usual description based on stationary geometries, focusing on primordial black holes (PBHs). It is found how the timescale of evaporation depends on the choice of a cosmological observer. It may differ substantially from the treatment based on stationary models for black holes. In particular, the standard assertion that there is a fixed initial mass just below $10^{15} \, \text{g} \sim 10^{-18} M_\odot$ for the PBHs which are ending their evaporation process today is imprecise, even when possible quantum corrections at the late stages are not considered. Deviations from this prediction appear when the evaporation is measured with respect to the cosmological time., Comment: 16 pages, 10 figures

14. Noise-Resilient Quantum Random Access Codes

Author: Karthik, H. S., Gómez, S., Quinteros, F. M., H., Akshata Shenoy, Pawłowski, M., Walborn, S. P., Lima, G., and Gómez, E. S.
Subjects: Quantum Physics
Abstract: A $n^d \xrightarrow{p} 1$ Quantum Random Access Code (QRAC) is a communication task where Alice encodes $n$ classical bits into quantum states of dimension $d$ and transmits them to Bob, who performs appropriate measurements to recover the required bit with probability $p$. In the presence of a noisy environment, the performance of a QRAC is degraded, losing the advantage over classical strategies. We propose a practical technique that enables noise tolerance in such scenarios, recovering the quantum advantage in retrieving the required bit. We perform a photonic implementation of a $2^2 \xrightarrow {\text{p}} 1$ QRAC using polarization-encoded qubits under an amplitude-damping channel, where simple operations allow for noise robustness showing the revival of the quantum advantage when the noisy channel degrades the performance of the QRAC. This revival can be observed by violating a suitable dimension witness, which is closely related to the average success probability of the QRAC. This technique can be extended to other applications in the so-called prepare-and-measure scenario, enhancing the semi-device-independent protocol implementations.

Subjects: Mathematics - Number Theory, Mathematics - Dynamical Systems
Abstract: The Lagrange and Markov spectra $L$ and $M$ describe the best constants of Diophantine approximations for irrational numbers and binary quadratic forms. In 1880, A. Markov showed that the initial portions of these spectra coincide: indeed, $L\cap (0,3) = M\cap (0,3)$ is a discrete set of explicit quadratic irrationals accumulating only at $3$. In this article, we show that the statement above ceases to be true immediately after $3$: in particular, $L\cap (3,3+\varepsilon)\neq M\cap (3,3+\varepsilon)$ for all $\varepsilon>0$, and thus $\inf(M\setminus L)=3$. In fact, we derive this result as a by-product of lower bounds on the Hausdorff dimension of $(M\setminus L)\cap (3,3+\varepsilon)$ implying that $\liminf\limits_{\varepsilon\to 0} \frac{\dim_H((M\setminus L)\cap(3,3+\varepsilon))}{\dim_H(M\cap (3,3+\varepsilon))}\geq \frac{1}{2}$ and, as it turns out, these bounds are obtained from the study of projections of Cartesian products of almost affine dynamical Cantor sets via an argument of probabilistic flavor based on Baker--W\"ustholz theorem on linear forms in logarithms of algebraic numbers., Comment: 46 pages, 5 figures

16. Hilbert series for quark flavor invariants and CP violation

Author: de Lima, Eduardo Lourenço Fabio
Subjects: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology
Abstract: This work delves into the study of flavor invariants and, in special, invariants capable of detecting CP (Charge-Parity) violation. Through the mathematical tool of the Hilbert series, we systematically enumerate and explore flavor invariants that are unchanged under weak basis transformations. After reviewing the Hilbert series and the flavor invariants of the SM quark sector, we apply the tool of Hilbert series to the SM extended by a singlet vector-like quark (VLQ) of down-type. The introduction of these hypothetical particles leads to a simple extension of the SM that can be motivated by many problems, including the need for new sources of CP violation to explain the observed matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe. We were successful in calculating the Hilbert series for the VLQ extension in the mass basis of the VLQ, where the spurion transformations are simpler. Based on the Hilbert series, we build and enumerate the basic flavor invariants with which all invariants can be constructed. For a generic basis, where the spurion transformations involve a larger group, we could only get the first few terms of the Hilbert series., Comment: Master thesis presented at Federal University of ABC (UFABC), Brazil; supervised by C.

17. Control of the classical dynamics of a particle in the Morse-soft-Coulomb potential

Author: Amici, Gabriel Albertin, Morán, José Andrés Guzmán, and de Lima, Emanuel Fernandes
Subjects: Nonlinear Sciences - Chaotic Dynamics, Physics - Atomic Physics
Abstract: We introduce the one-dimensional Morse-soft-Coulomb (MsC) potential consisting of a Morse repulsive barrier smoothly connected with a soft-core Coulomb potential at the origin. This new potential has a single parameter that controls the softness of the repulsive barrier and the well depth. When this softening-depth parameter tends to zero, the MsC potential approaches the Coulomb potential with an infinite repulsive barrier, a known successful model for the hydrogen atom. We investigate the classical chaotic dynamics of the MsC potential subjected to time-dependent external fields, comparing the results with the Coulomb potential. We show that the MsC potential reproduces the dynamics and the ionization probabilities of the Coulomb potential for sufficiently small values of the softening parameter. We also investigate the role of the softening parameter in the phase-space structures, showing that the increasing of its value leads to the increasing of the chaotic sea and consequently to the rise of the ionization probability. Finally, we address the problem of controlling the dynamics of a particle in the MsC potential from the perspective of optimal control theory, which cannot be easily applied in the case of the Coulomb potential due to the singularity at the origin. We analize a particular optimal solution to the problem of transferring a given amount of energy to the system at minimum cost. Our results show that the MsC potential can be a useful simple model for investigating the hydrogen atom.

Abstract: The dissociation of quarkonium states with different binding energies produced in heavy-ion collisions is a powerful probe for investigating the formation and properties of the quark-gluon plasma. The ratio of production cross-sections of $\psi(2S)$ and $J/\psi$ mesons times the ratio of their branching fractions into the dimuon final state is measured as a function of centrality using data collected by the LHCb detector in PbPb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\text{NN}}}$ = 5.02 TeV. The measured ratio shows no dependence on the collision centrality, and is compared to the latest theory predictions and to the recent measurements in literature., Comment: All figures and tables, along with any supplementary material and additional information, are available at https://cern.ch/lhcbproject/Publications/p/LHCb-PAPER-2024-041.html (LHCb public pages)

19. Knowledge Distillation Neural Network for Predicting Car-following Behaviour of Human-driven and Autonomous Vehicles

Abstract: As we move towards a mixed-traffic scenario of Autonomous vehicles (AVs) and Human-driven vehicles (HDVs), understanding the car-following behaviour is important to improve traffic efficiency and road safety. Using a real-world trajectory dataset, this study uses descriptive and statistical analysis to investigate the car-following behaviours of three vehicle pairs: HDV-AV, AV-HDV and HDV-HDV in mixed traffic. The ANOVA test showed that car-following behaviours across different vehicle pairs are statistically significant (p-value < 0.05). We also introduce a data-driven Knowledge Distillation Neural Network (KDNN) model for predicting car-following behaviour in terms of speed. The KDNN model demonstrates comparable predictive accuracy to its teacher network, a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network, and outperforms both the standalone student network, a Multilayer Perceptron (MLP), and traditional physics-based models like the Gipps model. Notably, the KDNN model better prevents collisions, measured by minimum Time-to-Collision (TTC), and operates with lower computational power, making it ideal for AVs or driving simulators requiring efficient computing., Comment: 27th IEEE International Conference on Intelligent Transportation Systems

Abstract: Automated knowledge extraction from scientific literature can potentially accelerate materials discovery. We have investigated an approach for extracting synthesis protocols for reticular materials from scientific literature using large language models (LLMs). To that end, we introduce a Knowledge Extraction Pipeline (KEP) that automatizes LLM-assisted paragraph classification and information extraction. By applying prompt engineering with in-context learning (ICL) to a set of open-source LLMs, we demonstrate that LLMs can retrieve chemical information from PDF documents, without the need for fine-tuning or training and at a reduced risk of hallucination. By comparing the performance of five open-source families of LLMs in both paragraph classification and information extraction tasks, we observe excellent model performance even if only few example paragraphs are included in the ICL prompts. The results show the potential of the KEP approach for reducing human annotations and data curation efforts in automated scientific knowledge extraction., Comment: 16 pages

Abstract: The vertical evolution of galactic discs is governed by the sub-structures within them. We examine the diversity of kinematic sub-structure present in the first 12 galaxies observed from the GECKOS survey, a VLT/MUSE large programme providing a systematic study of 35 edge-on, Milky Way-mass disc galaxies. Employing the nGIST analysis pipeline, we derive the mean line-of-sight stellar velocity ($V_{\star}$), velocity dispersion ($\sigma_{\star}$), skew ($h_{3}$), and kurtosis ($h_{4}$) for the sample, and examine 2D maps and 1D line profiles. Visually, the majority of this sample (8/12) are found to possess boxy-peanut bulges and host the corresponding kinematic structure predicted for stellar bars viewed in projection. Four galaxies exhibit strong evidence for the presence of nuclear discs, including central $h_{3}$-$V_{\star}$ anti-correlations, `croissant'-shaped central depressions in $\sigma_{\star}$ maps, strong gradients in $h_{3}$, and positive $h_{4}$ plateaus over the expected nuclear disc extent. The strength of the $h_{3}$ feature corresponds to the size of the nuclear disc, measured from the $h_{3}$ turnover radius. We can explain the features within the kinematic maps of all sample galaxies via disc structure(s) alone. We do not find any need to invoke the existence of dispersion-dominated bulges. Obtaining the specialised data products for this paper and the broader GECKOS survey required significant development of existing integral field spectroscopic (IFS) analysis tools. Therefore, we also present the nGIST pipeline: a modern, sophisticated, and easy-to-use pipeline for the analysis of galaxy IFS data. We conclude that the variety of kinematic sub-structures seen in GECKOS galaxies requires a contemporary view of galaxy morphology, expanding on the traditional view of galaxy structure, and uniting the kinematic complexity observed in the Milky Way with the extragalactic., Comment: 32 pages (9 of which are appendix), 26 figures, submitted to A&A.

Abstract: An amplitude analysis of the $D_{s1}(2460)^+\to D_{s}^{+}\pi^{+}\pi^{-}$ transition is performed simultaneously in $B^{0}\to D^{-}D_{s}^{+}\pi^{+}\pi^{-}$, $B^{+}\to{\bar{D}}^{0} D_{s}^{+}\pi^{+}\pi^{-}$, and $B^{0}\to D^{*-}D_{s}^{+}\pi^{+}\pi^{-}$ decays. The study is based on a data sample of proton-proton collisions recorded with the LHCb detector at centre-of-mass energies of $\sqrt{s}=7,8,$ and $13\,$TeV, corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of $9\,\rm{fb}^{-1}$. A clear double-peak structure is observed in the $m(\pi^{+}\pi^{-})$ spectrum of the $D_{s1}(2460)^{+}\to D_{s}^{+}\pi^{+}\pi^{-}$ decay. The data can be described either with a model including $f_0(500)$, $f_0(980)$ and $f_2(1270)$ resonances, in which the contributions of $f_0(980)$ and $f_2(1270)$ are unexpectedly large, or with a model including $f_0(500)$, a doubly charged open-charm tetraquark state $T_{c\bar{s}}^{++}$ and its isospin partner $T_{c\bar{s}}^{0}$. If the former is considered implausible, the $T_{c\bar{s}}$ states are observed with high significance, and the data are consistent with isospin symmetry. When imposing isospin constraints between the two $T_{c\bar{s}}$ states, their mass and width are determined to be $2327\pm13\pm13\,$MeV and $96\pm16\,^{+170}_{-23}\,$MeV, respectively, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. The mass is slightly below the $DK$ threshold, and a spin-parity of $0^+$ is favoured with high significance., Comment: All figures and tables, along with machine-readable versions and any supplementary material and additional information, are available at https://lbfence.cern.ch/alcm/public/analysis/full-details/3280/ (LHCb public pages)

23. Speed of Convergence and Moderate Deviations of FPP on Random Geometric Graphs

Author: de Lima, Lucas R. and Valesin, Daniel
Subjects: Mathematics - Probability, Primary: 60K35, 82B43, 05C80, Secondary: 60C05, 60F10
Abstract: This study delves into first-passage percolation (FPP) on random geometric graphs (RGGs) in the supercritical regime, where RGGs feature a unique infinite connected component. We investigate properties such as geodesic paths, moderate deviations, and fluctuations, aiming to establish a quantitative shape theorem. Furthermore, we examine fluctuations in geodesic paths and characterize the properties of spanning trees and their semi-infinite paths., Comment: 29 pages, 1 figure

Abstract: Transformers are set to become ubiquitous with applications ranging from chatbots and educational assistants to visual recognition and remote sensing. However, their increasing computational and memory demands is resulting in growing energy consumption. Building models with fast and energy-efficient inference is imperative to enable a variety of transformer-based applications. Look Up Table (LUT) based Weightless Neural Networks are faster than the conventional neural networks as their inference only involves a few lookup operations. Recently, an approach for learning LUT networks directly via an Extended Finite Difference method was proposed. We build on this idea, extending it for performing the functions of the Multi Layer Perceptron (MLP) layers in transformer models and integrating them with transformers to propose Quasi Weightless Transformers (QuWeiT). This allows for a computational and energy-efficient inference solution for transformer-based models. On I-ViT-T, we achieve a comparable accuracy of 95.64% on CIFAR-10 dataset while replacing approximately 55% of all the multiplications in the entire model and achieving a 2.2x energy efficiency. We also observe similar savings on experiments with the nanoGPT framework.

25. Effects of position-dependent mass (PDM) on the bound-state solutions of a massive spin-0 particle subjected to the Yukawa potential

Author: Oliveira, P. H. F. and Lima, W. P.
Subjects: Quantum Physics, High Energy Physics - Theory
Abstract: With the advent of Albert Einstein's theory of special relativity, Klein and Gordon made the first attempt to elevate time to the status of a coordinate in the Schr\"odinger equation. In this study, we graphically discuss the eigenfunctions and eigenenergies of the Klein-Gordon equation with a Yukawa-type potential (YP), within a position-dependent mass (PDM) framework. We conclude that the PDM leads to the equivalence of the positive ($E^+$) and negative ($E^-$) solution states at low energies. We observe that in the energy spectrum as a function of $\eta$ (YP intensity factor), the PDM can induce gap closure at the critical point where $E^+$ and $E^-$ become imaginary. In the spectrum as a function of $\alpha$ (YP shielding factor), it can compel the energies to be zero at $\alpha=0$, instead of being equal to $(m_0c^2)$ as in the invariant mass case.

26. Borsuk--Ulam property for graphs II: The $\mathbb{Z}_n$-action

Author: Gonçalves, Daciberg Lima and González, Jesús
Subjects: Mathematics - Algebraic Topology, Primary: 55M20, 57Q70. Secondary: 20F36, 55R80, 57S25
Abstract: For a finite group $H$ and connected topological spaces $X$ and $Y$ such that $X$ is endowed with a free left $H$-action $\tau$, we provide a geometric condition in terms of the existence of a commutative diagram of spaces (arising from the triple $(X,Y;\tau)$) to decide whether the Borsuk--Ulam property holds for based homotopy classes $\alpha\in[X,Y]_0$, as well as for free homotopy classes $\alpha\in[X,Y]$. Here, a homotopy class $\alpha$ is said to satisfy the Borsuk--Ulam property if, for each of its representatives $f\in\alpha$, there exists an $H$-orbit where $f$ fails to be injective. Our geometric characterization is attained by constructing an $H$-equivariant map from $X$ to the classical configuration space $F_{|H|}(Y)$. We derive an algebraic condition from the geometric characterisation, and show that the former one is in fact equivalent to the latter one when $X$ and $Y$ are aspherical. We then specialize to the 1-dimensional case, i.e., when $X$ is an arbitrary connected graph, $H$ is cyclic, and $Y$ is either an interval, a circle, or their wedge sum. The graph-braid-group ingredient in our characterizations is then effectively controlled through the use of discrete Morse theory., Comment: 22 pages

27. Advancing Crime Linkage Analysis with Machine Learning: A Comprehensive Review and Framework for Data-Driven Approaches

Author: Lima, Vinicius and Karabiyik, Umit
Subjects: Computer Science - Machine Learning, Computer Science - Artificial Intelligence, Computer Science - Computers and Society
Abstract: Crime linkage is the process of analyzing criminal behavior data to determine whether a pair or group of crime cases are connected or belong to a series of offenses. This domain has been extensively studied by researchers in sociology, psychology, and statistics. More recently, it has drawn interest from computer scientists, especially with advances in artificial intelligence. Despite this, the literature indicates that work in this latter discipline is still in its early stages. This study aims to understand the challenges faced by machine learning approaches in crime linkage and to support foundational knowledge for future data-driven methods. To achieve this goal, we conducted a comprehensive survey of the main literature on the topic and developed a general framework for crime linkage processes, thoroughly describing each step. Our goal was to unify insights from diverse fields into a shared terminology to enhance the research landscape for those intrigued by this subject.

Abstract: Modeling the intrinsic alignment (IA) of galaxies poses a challenge to weak lensing analyses. The Dark Energy Survey is expected to be less impacted by IA when limited to blue, star-forming galaxies. The cosmological parameter constraints from this blue cosmic shear sample are stable to IA model choice, unlike passive galaxies in the full DES Y3 sample, the goodness-of-fit is improved and the $\Omega_{m}$ and $S_8$ better agree with the cosmic microwave background. Mitigating IA with sample selection, instead of flexible model choices, can reduce uncertainty in $S_8$ by a factor of 1.5., Comment: Data access available at https://jamiemccullough.github.io/data/blueshear/

Abstract: Measurements of $CP$ observables and the CKM angle $\gamma$ are performed in $B^{\pm} \to D K^*(892)^{\pm}$ decays, where $D$ represents a superposition of $D^0$ and $\overline{D}{}^0$ states, using the LHCb dataset collected during Run 1 (2011-2012) and Run 2 (2015-2018). A comprehensive study of this channel is presented with the $D$ meson reconstructed in two-body final states $K^{\pm}\pi^{\mp}$, $K^+K^-$ and $\pi^+\pi^-$; four-body final states $K^{\pm}\pi^{\mp}\pi^{\pm}\pi^{\mp}$ and $\pi^+\pi^-\pi^+\pi^-$; and three-body final states $K^0_{S} \pi^+\pi^-$ and $K^0_{S} K^+ K^-$. This analysis includes the first observation of the suppressed $B^{\pm} \to [\pi^+K^-]_D K^{*\pm}$ and $B^{\pm} \to [\pi^+K^-\pi^+\pi^-]_D K^{*\pm}$ decays. The combined result gives $\gamma=(63\pm 13)^\circ$., Comment: All figures and tables, along with machine-readable versions and any supplementary material and additional information, are available at https://lbfence.cern.ch/alcm/public/analysis/full-details/3180/ (LHCb public pages)

30. Teaching Requirements Engineering for AI: A Goal-Oriented Approach in Software Engineering Courses

Author: Batista, Beatriz, Lima, Márcia, and Conte, Tayana
Subjects: Computer Science - Computers and Society, Computer Science - Software Engineering
Abstract: Context: Requirements Engineering for AI-based systems (RE4AI) presents unique challenges due to the inherent volatility and complexity of AI technologies, necessitating the development of specialized methodologies. It is crucial to prepare upcoming software engineers with the abilities to specify high-quality requirements for AI-based systems. Goal: This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness and applicability of Goal-Oriented Requirements Engineering (GORE), specifically the KAOS method, in facilitating requirements elicitation for AI-based systems within an educational context. Method: We conducted an empirical study in an introductory software engineering class, combining presentations, practical exercises, and a survey to assess students' experience using GORE. Results: The analysis revealed that GORE is particularly effective in capturing high-level requirements, such as user expectations and system necessity. However, it is less effective for detailed planning, such as ensuring privacy and handling errors. The majority of students were able to apply the KAOS methodology correctly or with minor inadequacies, indicating its usability and effectiveness in educational settings. Students identified several benefits of GORE, including its goal-oriented nature and structured approach, which facilitated the management of complex requirements. However, challenges such as determining goal refinement stopping criteria and managing diagram complexity were also noted. Conclusion: GORE shows significant potential for enhancing requirements elicitation in AI-based systems. While generally effective, the approach could benefit from additional support and resources to address identified challenges. These findings suggest that GORE can be a valuable tool in both educational and practical contexts, provided that enhancements are made to facilitate its application., Comment: 10 pages, SBQS

31. Strictly convex norms and the local diameter two property

Author: Abrahamsen, Trond A., Hájek, Petr, Lima, Vegard, and Troyanski, Stanimir
Subjects: Mathematics - Functional Analysis, 46B20, 46B03
Abstract: We introduce and study a strict monotonicity property of the norm in solid Banach lattices of real functions that prevents such spaces from having the local diameter two property. Then we show that any strictly convex 1-symmetric norm on $\ell_\infty(\mathbb N)$ possesses this strict monotonicity property. In the opposite direction, we show that any Banach space which is strictly convex renormable and contains a complemented copy of $c_0,$ admits an equivalent strictly convex norm for which the space has the local diameter two property. In particular, this enables us to construct a strictly convex norm on $c_0(\Gamma),$ where $\Gamma$ is uncountable, for which the space has a 1-unconditional basis and the local diameter two property., Comment: Some text revision.

Abstract: This paper presents the first measurement of $\psi{(2S)}$ and $\chi_{c1}(3872)$ meson production within fully reconstructed jets. Each quarkonium state (tag) is reconstructed via its decay to the $J/\psi$($\rightarrow\mu^+\mu^-$)$\pi^+\pi^-$ final state in the forward region using proton-proton collision data collected by the LHCb experiment at the center-of-mass-energy of $13 \text{TeV}$ in 2016, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $1.64 \text{fb}^{-1}$. The fragmentation function, presented as the ratio of the quarkonium-tag transverse momentum to the full jet transverse momentum ($p_{\mathrm{T}}(\text{tag})/p_{\mathrm{T}}(\text{jet})$), is measured differentially in $p_{\mathrm{T}}(\text{jet})$ and $p_{\mathrm{T}}(\text{tag})$ bins. The distributions are separated into promptly produced quarkonia from proton-proton collisions and quarkonia produced from displaced $b$-hadron decays. While the displaced quarkonia fragmentation functions are in general well described by parton-shower predictions, the prompt quarkonium distributions differ significantly from fixed-order non-relativistic QCD (NRQCD) predictions followed by a QCD parton shower., Comment: All figures and tables, along with machine-readable versions and any supplementary material and additional information, are available at https://lbfence.cern.ch/alcm/public/analysis/full-details/1618/ (LHCb public pages)

Abstract: This paper demonstrates how to explicitly construct a bidiagonal factorization of the banded recurrence matrix that appears in mixed multiple orthogonality on the step-line in terms of the coeffcients of the mixed multiple orthogonal polynomials. The construction is based on the $LU$ factorization of the moment matrix and Christoffel transformations applied to the matrix of measures and the associated mixed multiple orthogonal polynomials., Comment: 14 pages

Abstract: Lepton flavour universality in rare $b\rightarrow s$ transitions is tested for the first time using $B_s^0$ meson decays. The measurements are performed using $pp$ collision data collected by the LHCb experiment between 2011 and 2018, corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of 9$\,{\rm fb}^{-1}$. Branching fraction ratios between the $B_s^0 \rightarrow \phi e^+e^-$ and $B_s^0 \rightarrow \phi \mu^+\mu^-$ decays are measured in three regions of dilepton mass squared, $q^2$, with $0.1 < q^2 < 1.1$, $1.1 < q^2 < 6.0$, and $15 < q^2 < 19\,{\rm GeV}^2/c^4$. The results agree with the Standard Model expectation of lepton flavour universality., Comment: All figures and tables, along with machine-readable versions and any supplementary material and additional information, are available at https://lbfence.cern.ch/alcm/public/analysis/full-details/3513/ (LHCb public pages)

Abstract: Rigid (Uniform) rotation is usually assumed when investigating the properties of mature neutron stars (NSs). Although it simplifies their description, it is an assumption because we cannot observe the NS's innermost parts. Here, we analyze the structure of NSs in the simple case of ''almost rigidity,'' where the innermost and outermost parts rotate with different angular velocities. This is motivated by the possibility of NSs having superfluid interiors, phase transitions, and angular momentum transfer during accretion processes. We show that, in general relativity, the relative difference in angular velocity between different parts of an NS induces a change in the moment of inertia compared to that of rigid rotation. The relative change depends nonlinearly on where the angular velocity jump occurs inside the NS. For the same observed angular velocity in both configurations, if the jump location is close to the star's surface-which is possible in central compact objects (CCOs) and accreting stars-the relative change in the moment of inertia is close to that of the angular velocity (which is expected due to total angular momentum aspects). If the jump occurs deep within the NS, for instance, due to phase transitions or superfluidity, smaller relative changes in the moment of inertia are observed; we found that if it is at a radial distance smaller than approximately $40\%$ of the star's radius, the relative changes are negligible. Additionally, we outline the relevance of systematic uncertainties that nonrigidity could have on some NS observables, such as radius, ellipticity, and the rotational energy budget of pulsars, which could explain the X-ray luminosity of some sources. Finally, we also show that non-rigidity weakens the universal $I$-Love-$Q$ relations., Comment: 12 pages, 5 figures. Accepted for publication in PRD

Abstract: We introduce the Differentiable Weightless Neural Network (DWN), a model based on interconnected lookup tables. Training of DWNs is enabled by a novel Extended Finite Difference technique for approximate differentiation of binary values. We propose Learnable Mapping, Learnable Reduction, and Spectral Regularization to further improve the accuracy and efficiency of these models. We evaluate DWNs in three edge computing contexts: (1) an FPGA-based hardware accelerator, where they demonstrate superior latency, throughput, energy efficiency, and model area compared to state-of-the-art solutions, (2) a low-power microcontroller, where they achieve preferable accuracy to XGBoost while subject to stringent memory constraints, and (3) ultra-low-cost chips, where they consistently outperform small models in both accuracy and projected hardware area. DWNs also compare favorably against leading approaches for tabular datasets, with higher average rank. Overall, our work positions DWNs as a pioneering solution for edge-compatible high-throughput neural networks.

Abstract: In-medium effective carriers with position-dependent mass in a multishell heterostructure are analytically studied. We obtain the exact spectrum of three-dimensional bound eigenstates and the scattering wave-functions for several von Roos ordering classes. Ascribing a continuously varying mass to the carriers in a multilayer type spherical system we use our solutions to compute optical properties such as the absorption coefficients and refraction indices of a nanometric heterostructure. We analyze in detail the case of a GaAs/Al-GaAs alloy and show how these results depend on the ordering class of the kinetic Hamiltonian., Comment: 20 pages, 16 figures, 63 references

38. Improving Portfolio Optimization Results with Bandit Networks

Author: Fonseca, Gustavo de Freitas, Silva, Lucas Coelho e, and de Castro, Paulo André Lima
Subjects: Computer Science - Artificial Intelligence, Quantitative Finance - Portfolio Management
Abstract: In Reinforcement Learning (RL), multi-armed Bandit (MAB) problems have found applications across diverse domains such as recommender systems, healthcare, and finance. Traditional MAB algorithms typically assume stationary reward distributions, which limits their effectiveness in real-world scenarios characterized by non-stationary dynamics. This paper addresses this limitation by introducing and evaluating novel Bandit algorithms designed for non-stationary environments. First, we present the Adaptive Discounted Thompson Sampling (ADTS) algorithm, which enhances adaptability through relaxed discounting and sliding window mechanisms to better respond to changes in reward distributions. We then extend this approach to the Portfolio Optimization problem by introducing the Combinatorial Adaptive Discounted Thompson Sampling (CADTS) algorithm, which addresses computational challenges within Combinatorial Bandits and improves dynamic asset allocation. Additionally, we propose a novel architecture called Bandit Networks, which integrates the outputs of ADTS and CADTS, thereby mitigating computational limitations in stock selection. Through extensive experiments using real financial market data, we demonstrate the potential of these algorithms and architectures in adapting to dynamic environments and optimizing decision-making processes. For instance, the proposed bandit network instances present superior performance when compared to classic portfolio optimization approaches, such as capital asset pricing model, equal weights, risk parity, and Markovitz, with the best network presenting an out-of-sample Sharpe Ratio 20% higher than the best performing classical model.

Abstract: Using $pp$ collision data at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV, recorded by the LHCb experiment between 2016 and 2018 and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $5.4$ fb$^{-1}$, the forward-backward asymmetry in the $pp \to Z/\gamma^{*} \to \mu^+\mu^-$ process is measured. The measurement is carried out in ten intervals of the difference between the muon pseudorapidities, within a fiducial region covering dimuon masses between $66$ and $116$ GeV, muon pseudorapidities between $2.0$ and $4.5$ and muon transverse momenta above $20$ GeV. These forward-backward asymmetries are compared with predictions, at next-to-leading order in the strong and electroweak couplings. The measured effective leptonic weak mixing angle is $\sin^2\theta_{\rm eff}^\ell = 0.23147 \pm 0.00044 \pm 0.00005 \pm 0.00023$, where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second arises from systematic uncertainties associated with the asymmetry measurement, and the third arises from uncertainties in the fit model used to extract $\sin^2\theta_{\rm eff}^\ell$ from the asymmetry measurement. This result is based on an arithmetic average of results using the CT18, MSHT20, and NNPDF31 parameterisations of the proton internal structure, and is consistent with previous measurements and with predictions from the global electroweak fit., Comment: All figures and tables, along with machine-readable versions and any supplementary material and additional information, are available at https://lbfence.cern.ch/alcm/public/analysis/full-details/3360/ (LHCb public pages)

Abstract: Integrated access and backhaul (IAB) technology is a flexible solution for network densification. IAB nodes can also be deployed in moving nodes such as buses and trains, i.e., mobile IAB (mIAB). As mIAB nodes can move around the coverage area, the connection between mIAB nodes and their parent macro base stations (BSs), IAB donor, is sometimes required to change in order to keep an acceptable backhaul link, the so called topology adaptation (TA). The change from one IAB donor to another may strongly impact the system load distribution, possibly causing unsatisfactory backhaul service due to the lack of radio resources. Based on this, TA should consider both backhaul link quality and traffic load. In this work, we propose a load balancing algorithm based on TA for IAB networks, and compare it with an approach in which TA is triggered based on reference signal received power (RSRP) only. The results show that our proposed algorithm improves the passengers worst connections throughput in uplink (UL) and, more modestly, also in downlink (DL), without impairing the pedestrian quality of service (QoS) significantly., Comment: Paper submitted to Journal of Communication and Information Systems (JCIS)

Abstract: As the number of user equipments increases in fifth generation (5G) and beyond, it is desired to densify the cellular network with auxiliary nodes assisting the base stations. Examples of these nodes are integrated access and backhaul (IAB) nodes, network-controlled repeaters (NCRs) and reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs). In this context, this work presents a system level overview of these three nodes. Moreover, this work evaluates through simulations the impact of network planning aiming at enhancing the performance of a network used to cover an outdoor sport event. We show that, in the considered scenario, in general, IAB nodes provide an improved signal to interference-plus-noise ratio and throughput, compared to NCRs and RISs. However, there are situations where NCR outperforms IAB due to higher level of interference caused by the latter. Finally, we show that the deployment of these nodes in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) also achieves performance gains due to their aerial mobility. However, UAV constraints related to aerial deployment may prevent these nodes from reaching results as good as the ones achieved by their stationary deployment., Comment: Paper submitted to IEEE Systems Journal

Subjects: High Energy Physics - Theory
Abstract: We consider the massless Rarita-Schwinger (RS) LV QED. In this theory, we introduce the gauge fixing to obtain the propagator for the RS field, and calculate the Carroll-Field-Jackiw term, which turns out to be finite and ambiguous, and only in one calculation scheme, based on the nonlinear gauge framework, the gauge independence of the result is achieved., Comment: 15 pages

43. AF Embeddability of the C*-Algebra of a Deaconu-Renault Groupoid

Author: Lima, Rafael P.
Subjects: Mathematics - Operator Algebras
Abstract: We study Deaconu-Renault groupoids corresponding to surjective local homeomorphisms on locally compact, Hausdorff, second countable, totally disconnected spaces, and we characterise when the C*-algebras of these groupoids are AF embeddable. Our main result generalises theorems in the literature for graphs and for crossed products of commutative C*-algebras by the integers. We give a condition on the surjective local homeomorphism that characterises the AF embeddability of the C*-algebra of the associated Deaconu-Renault groupoid. In order to prove our main result, we generalise an application of Matui's HK conjecture by Farsi, Kumjian, Pask, and Sims, that gives an isomorphism from the homology groups of AF algebras and the corresponding K-theory. In this paper, we give an explicit formula for this isomorphism, and we show that this isomorphism is an order isomorphism., Comment: arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:2407.16510

44. Black Hole Solutions in Non-Minimally Coupled Weyl Connection Gravity

Author: Lima, M. Margarida and Gomes, Cláudio
Subjects: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology, High Energy Physics - Theory
Abstract: Schwarzschild and Reissner-Nordstr{\o}m black hole solutions are found in the context of a non-minimal matter-curvature coupling with the Weyl connection, both in vacuum and in the presence of a cosmological constant-like matter content. This special case of non-metricity leads to black hole solutions with non-vanishing scalar curvature. Moreover, vacuum Schwarzschild solutions differ from the ones from a constant curvature scenario in $f(R)$ theories with the appearance of a coefficient in the term linear in r and a corrected "cosmological constant". Non-vacuum Shwarzschild solutions have formally the same solutions as in the previous case with the exception being the physical interpretation of a cosmological constant as the source of the matter Lagrangian as not a simple reparametrization of the $f(R)$ description. Reissner-Nordstr{\o}m solutions cannot be found in vacuum, but only in the presence of matter fields, such that the solutions also differ from the constant curvature scenario in $f(R)$ theories by the term linear in r and corrected/dressed charge and cosmological constant., Comment: 32 pages, 8 figures, 5 tables

Abstract: A search for the very rare $B^{*0}\to\mu^+\mu^-$ and $B_{s}^{*0}\to\mu^+\mu^-$ decays is conducted by analysing the $B_c^+\to \pi^+\mu^+\mu^-$ process. The analysis uses proton-proton collision data collected with the LHCb detector between 2011 and 2018, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9$\text{\,fb}^{-1}$.

46. A finite deformation theory of dislocation thermomechanics

Author: Lima-Chaves, Gabriel Dante, Acharya, Amit, and Upadhyay, Manas Vijay
Subjects: Condensed Matter - Materials Science, 74C20, 74F05, J.2
Abstract: A geometrically nonlinear theory for field dislocation thermomechanics based entirely on measurable state variables is proposed. Instead of starting from an ordering-dependent multiplicative decomposition of the total deformation gradient tensor, the additive decomposition of the velocity gradient into elastic, plastic and thermal distortion rates is obtained as a natural consequence of the conservation of the Burgers vector. Based on this equation, the theory consistently captures the contribution of transient heterogeneous temperature fields on the evolution of the (polar) dislocation density. The governing equations of the model are obtained from the conservation of Burgers vector, mass, linear and angular momenta, and the First Law. The Second Law is used to deduce the thermodynamical driving forces for dislocation velocity. An evolution equation for temperature is obtained from the First Law and the Helmholtz free energy density, which is taken as a function of the following measurable quantities: elastic distortion, temperature and the dislocation density (the theory allows prescribing additional measurable quantities as internal state variables if needed). Furthermore, the theory allows one to compute the Taylor-Quinney factor, which is material and strain rate dependent. Accounting for the polar dislocation density as a state variable in the Helmholtz free energy of the system allows for temperature solutions in the form of dispersive waves with finite propagation speed, despite using Fourier's law of heat conduction as the constitutive assumption for the heat flux vector., Comment: 34 pages, 3 figures, preprint submitted to journal

47. Online 6DoF Pose Estimation in Forests using Cross-View Factor Graph Optimisation and Deep Learned Re-localisation

Author: de Lima, Lucas Carvalho, Griffiths, Ethan, Haghighat, Maryam, Denman, Simon, Fookes, Clinton, Borges, Paulo, Brünig, Michael, and Ramezani, Milad
Subjects: Computer Science - Robotics
Abstract: This paper presents a novel approach for robust global localisation and 6DoF pose estimation of ground robots in forest environments by leveraging cross-view factor graph optimisation and deep-learned re-localisation. The proposed method addresses the challenges of aligning aerial and ground data for pose estimation, which is crucial for accurate point-to-point navigation in GPS-denied environments. By integrating information from both perspectives into a factor graph framework, our approach effectively estimates the robot's global position and orientation. We validate the performance of our method through extensive experiments in diverse forest scenarios, demonstrating its superiority over existing baselines in terms of accuracy and robustness in these challenging environments. Experimental results show that our proposed localisation system can achieve drift-free localisation with bounded positioning errors, ensuring reliable and safe robot navigation under canopies., Comment: 7 pages, 4 figures, Submitted to ICRA2025

Abstract: We present constraints on the $f(R)$ gravity model using a sample of 1,005 galaxy clusters in the redshift range $0.25 - 1.78$ that have been selected through the thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect (tSZE) from South Pole Telescope (SPT) data and subjected to optical and near-infrared confirmation with the Multi-component Matched Filter (MCMF) algorithm. We employ weak gravitational lensing mass calibration from the Dark Energy Survey (DES) Year 3 data for 688 clusters at $z < 0.95$ and from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) for 39 clusters with $0.6 < z < 1.7$. Our cluster sample is a powerful probe of $f(R)$ gravity, because this model predicts a scale-dependent enhancement in the growth of structure, which impacts the halo mass function (HMF) at cluster mass scales. To account for these modified gravity effects on the HMF, our analysis employs a semi-analytical approach calibrated with numerical simulations. Combining calibrated cluster counts with primary cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature and polarization anisotropy measurements from the Planck2018 release, we derive robust constraints on the $f(R)$ parameter $f_{R0}$. Our results, $\log_{10} |f_{R0}| < -5.32$ at the 95 % credible level, are the tightest current constraints on $f(R)$ gravity from cosmological scales. This upper limit rules out $f(R)$-like deviations from general relativity that result in more than a $\sim$20 % enhancement of the cluster population on mass scales $M_\mathrm{200c}>3\times10^{14}M_\odot$., Comment: 21 pages, 6 figures, submitted to Phys.

Abstract: The differential branching fraction and angular coefficients of \ensuremath{\it{\Lambda}^\mathrm{0}_b \rightarrow pK^-\mu^+\mu^-}\xspace decays are measured in bins of the dimuon mass squared and dihadron mass. The analysis is performed using a data set corresponding to 9$\aunit{fb}^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity collected with the $\mbox{LHCb}$ detector between 2011 and 2018. The data are consistent with receiving contributions from a mixture of $\it{\Lambda}$ resonances with different spin-parity quantum numbers. The angular coefficients show a pattern of vector--axial vector interference that is a characteristic of the type of flavour-changing neutral-current transition relevant for these decays., Comment: All figures and tables, along with machine-readable versions and any supplementary material and additional information, are available at https://cern.ch/lhcbproject/Publications/p/3264.html (LHCb public pages)

Abstract: According to Boltzmann-Gibbs (BG) statistical mechanics, the thermodynamic response, such as the isothermal susceptibility, at critical points (CPs) presents a divergent-like behavior. An appropriate parameter to probe both classical and quantum CPs is the so-called Gr\"uneisen ratio $\Gamma$. Motivated by the results reported in Phys. Rev. B $\textbf{108}$, L140403 (2023), we extend the quantum version of $\Gamma$ to the non-additive $q$-entropy $S_q$. Our findings indicate that using $S_q$ at the unique value of $q$ restoring the extensivity of the entropy, $\Gamma$ is universally non-diverging at CPs. We unprecedentedly introduce $\Gamma$ in terms of $S_q$, being BG recovered for $q \rightarrow 1$. We thus solve a long-standing problem related to the $\textit{illusory}$ diverging susceptibilities at CPs., Comment: 5 pages, 3 figs, comments are welcome
