The Covid-19 pandemic that has occurred in the past two years is still the main topic, especially when this pandemic ends. The essence of the Covid-19 pandemic is the movement of people (as virus carriers) from one place to another. The move allows a location to be interconnected with other locations in the increase in Covid-19 cases. This linkage is a spatial relationship between locations. The same applies to the relationship between time. The main factor is the incubation period of the virus, which causes the increase in cases today to be influenced by cases in the past few days. The two correlations between spatial and time are combined to form the basis for space-time modeling. The model used is the Generalized Space-Time Autoregressive (GSTAR) model, limited to the order of 1:1. The uniqueness of this model is the presence of a weight matrix representing the spatial correlation. In this study, the weight matrix was modified using the Queen Contiguity Weight Matrix, which is based on neighbors directly adjacent or not between locations. The data used in this study is data on positive confirmed cases of Covid-19 per district in three provinces on the island of Java, namely Banten, DKI Jakarta (the state capital), and West Java. The total locations used are 41 districts/cities. The modeling step is to calculate the weight matrix, then estimate the parameters, and finally, the prediction for the following five periods (which is also the primary goal of this study). The results obtained predictive values for 41 districts/cities on June 12-16, 2022. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

While (2+1)$(2+1)$‐dimensional black holes in the Einstein theory allow for only the anti‐de Sitter (AdS) asymptotic, when the higher curvature correction is tuned on, the asymptotically flat, de Sitter, and AdS cases are included. Here, a detailed study of the stability and quasinormal spectra of the scalar field perturbations around such black holes with all three asymptotics is proposed. Calculations of the frequencies are fulfilled with the help of the 6th order Wentzel–Kramers–Brillouin (WKB) method with Pade approximants, Bernstein polynomial method, and time‐domain integration. Results obtained by all three methods are in a very good agreement in their common range of applicability. When the multipole moment k$k$ is equal to zero, the purely imaginary, i.e., non‐oscillatory, modes dominate in the spectrum for all types of the asymptotic behavior, while the spectrum at higher k$k$ resembles that in four‐dimensional spacetime with the corresponding asymptotic.

The determination of transport schemes represents a critical facet of operational management in express freight logistics and constitutes a significant scientific challenge within the domain of freight transportation. Globally, there is an escalating focus on adopting low-carbon transit strategies, and it has been established that multimodal transport methods can significantly diminish carbon emissions associated with freight transportation. Moreover, the scheduled arrival and departure times for railway and aviation are pivotal in shaping the selection of transport schemes. Regrettably, these critical considerations are frequently neglected in the prevailing body of research. This paper endeavors to bridge this research gap by advocating for a lowcarbon transport scheme for express freight through the utilization of an integrated transportation system. It undertakes a collaborative optimization study concerning transportation modes and routes. This document proposes an optimization framework for the selection of express freight transport schemes that incorporates considerations for carbon emissions and fixed timetables. A three-layer service network is developed, integrating the fixed schedules of railway and aviation to formulate a space-time shortest path problem aimed at minimizing the generalized transportation cost. Three models are formulated to reduce the transportation costs and carbon emissions of logistics enterprises, taking into account diverse carbon emission policies. Subsequently, a two-stage heuristic algorithm is introduced to address this complex problem. The findings reveal that by accounting for customers' transportation time constraints and judiciously selecting transportation modes and routes, it is feasible to effectively minimize transportation costs and carbon emissions.

For active volcanoes, knowledge of the architecture of the plumbing system and the conditions of magma storage prior to an eruption are highly important, given their influence on the eruptive style and, thus, the management of future volcanic crises. Here, chlorine is used as a geobarometer for potassic alkaline magmas at the Campi Flegrei volcanic complex, revealing the shallowest depth of fluid-melt equilibration with respect to Cl. The results for representative fallout deposits of selected explosive eruptions show the existence of a multi-depth equilibration zone through time, including shallow magma storage. We describe evidence for the shallowest zone located at a depth equivalent to 65 MPa for the Agnano Monte Spina eruption (4482–4625 cal. yrs BP), at ~100 MPa for the Pomici Principali (11 915–12 158 cal. yrs BP), and the Astroni 6 (4098–4297 cal. yrs BP) eruptions, and close to 115 MPa for the last explosive eruption of Monte Nuovo (AD 1538). For comparison, the pressure estimated for a possible reservoir feeding the Cretaio eruption of Ischia island (AD 430), the only studied eruption on Ischia, is ~140 MPa. The pressure estimates for the two largest magnitude eruptions, the Campanian Ignimbrite (40 ka) and the Neapolitan Yellow Tuff (14.9 ka), are also discussed with respect to available magma withdrawal models. The pressures estimated using the Cl geobarometer for the magma leading to the fallout phases of these two eruptions provide evidence for a low-volume, shallow domain (~40 MPa) for the Plinian phase of the Campanian Ignimbrite eruption and a main, deeper reservoir (~130–165 MPa) for the Neapolitan Yellow Tuff eruption. The inferred shallowest equilibration pressures are interpreted here as corresponding to transitory, short-lived magma apophyses, whose eruption may have been facilitated by optimum tectonic stresses, rheological behavior of the crust, and efficiency of volatile exsolution. Alternatively, these magma apophyses may represent an evolved, crystal-rich ponded magma into which a volatile-rich magma ascending from depth was injected. The transient nature of such very shallow reservoirs is suggested by the short timescales inferred from diffusion modeling on crystals available in the literature for the studied Campi Flegrei eruptions. The influence of sulfur (S) on Cl solubility is assessed through Cl solubility modeling and applied to different eruptions. In addition, the pressure at which magmatic fluids and melts equilibrated with respect to Cl is shallower for the Campi Flegrei volcanic complex than the Somma-Vesuvio volcanic complex, erupting more homogeneous differentiated magma, of trachytic or phonolitic composition. This approach of using Cl to investigate the architecture of the plumbing system can be extended to all alkali-rich magma systems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Female domestic workers (FDWs) experience space–time constraints and mobility challenges corresponding to their demanding daily work responsibilities. Studies have shown that FDWs' mobility and activities are primarily dictated by their employers through work tasks. It is unclear, though, how FDWs' activity and mobility patterns outside their employers' homes are shaped by individual and contextual factors, including government policies that mandate that FDWs be granted a rest day. Using an activity space approach combined with multilevel modeling, I evaluated mobility and activity patterns on work and rest days for a sample of Indonesian FDWs in Hong Kong. Data were collected using innovative online activity diaries and were triangulated with qualitative data from WhatsApp follow-up conversations. This research uncovers that FDWs' activity patterns differ significantly between work and rest days. FDWs rarely go outside on workdays except to perform work-related tasks. On the rest day, FDWs' activity spaces are much more expansive as they conduct social and personal activities that are essential for maintaining their well-being. By comparing work and rest days, this research deepens our understanding of geographical, social, and temporal aspects of FDWs' space–time constraints and (im)mobility experiences that encompass and go beyond employer-assigned tasks. Furthermore, the findings demonstrate the benefits of rest day policies for enhancing the visibility of marginalized women in public spaces, particularly in the context of FDWs' restrictive space–time constraints.

NONLINEAR Schrodinger equation , *SPACETIME , *MATHEMATICAL physics , *OPTICAL fibers - Abstract
In this article, new traveling wave solutions are retrieved for two space-time fractional models: the resonant nonlinear Schrödinger equation and the Biswas–Milovic equation which illustrates the dynamics of optical soliton promulgation in optical fibers, both featuring Kerr law nonlinearity. These equations are explored via an efficient method namely, the extended simple equation method. The fractional derivative is used in the conformable sense to accomplish this analysis. The extracted solutions show dark, periodic, singular, and singular-periodic solitons behaviors, which are depicted graphically by using line, surface, and contour plots. The reported solutions are unique and novel. The proposed method distinguishes itself by its simplicity, reliability, and ability to generate novel soliton solutions for nonlinear Schrödinger equations within the realm of mathematical physics.

In this article, we consider the nonlinear stochastic partial differential equation of fractional order in both space and time variables with constant initial condition: \begin{equation*} \left (\partial ^{\beta }_t+\dfrac {\nu }{2}\left (-\Delta \right)^{\alpha / 2}\right) u(t, x) = \: I_{t}^{\gamma }\left [\lambda u(t, x) \dot {W}(t, x)\right ] \quad t>0,\: x\in \mathbb {R}^d, \end{equation*} with constants \lambda \ne 0 and \nu >0, where \partial ^{\beta }_t is the Caputo fractional derivative of order \beta \in (0,2], I_{t}^{\gamma } refers to the Riemann-Liouville integral of order \gamma \ge 0, and \left (-\Delta \right)^{\alpha /2} is the standard fractional/power of Laplacian with \alpha >0. We concentrate on the scenario where the noise \dot {W} is the space-time white noise. The existence and uniqueness of solution in the Itô-Skorohod sense is obtained under Dalang's condition. We obtain explicit formulas for both the second moment and the second moment Lyapunov exponent. We derive the p-th moment upper bounds and find the matching lower bounds. Our results solve a large class of conjectures regarding the order of the p-th moment Lyapunov exponents. In particular, by letting \beta = 2, \alpha = 2, \gamma = 0, and d = 1, we confirm the following standing conjecture for the stochastic wave equation: \begin{align*} \frac {1}{t}\log \mathbb {E}[|u(t,x)|^p ] \asymp p^{3/2}, \quad \text {for p\ge 2 as t\to \infty.} \end{align*} The method for the lower bounds is inspired by a recent work of Hu and Wang, where the authors focus on the space-time colored Gaussian noise case.

SPACETIME , *QUANTUM gravity - Abstract
Differentiation of the scalar Feynman propagator with respect to the spacetime coordinates yields the metric on the background spacetime that the scalar particle propagates in. Now Feynman propagators can be modified in order to include quantum-gravity corrections as induced by a zero-point length L > 0. These corrections cause the length element s 2 to be replaced with s 2 + 4 L 2 within the Feynman propagator. In this paper, we compute the metrics derived from both the quantum-gravity free propagators and from their quantum-gravity corrected counterparts. We verify that the latter propagators yield the same spacetime metrics as the former, provided one measures distances greater than the quantum of length L. We perform this analysis in the case of the background spacetime ℝ D in the Euclidean sector. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents an analytical study of the behavior of radial free-geodesics in the Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker (FLRW) spacetime within the Lambda Cold Dark Matter (Λ CDM) model. Using the radial free motion solutions, we provide two methods for characterizing the geodesics and defines a general formula that encapsulates all possible solutions, determined by two initial conditions. We show that the past light cone, event horizon, and particle horizon, can be considered as special cases of this overarching formula. Furthermore, the paper explores the free geodesics within the currently accepted cosmological model based on the recent Planck results, thoroughly examining the various possible geodesic scenarios.

PRISMS , *SPACETIME - Abstract
We investigate the geometry of space-time prisms and their associated potential path areas (for movement that takes place in the plane) in the setting where the prism anchors have a spatial uncertainty area attached to them. Our main result is a characterisation of such space-time prisms and their potential path areas in terms of a generalised distance function between closed subsets of the ambient space. Since the case where this spatial anchor uncertainty takes the form of a closed disk has already been addressed by Kuijpers and Othman (2017), we focus on the more realistic case where the uncertainty areas are ellipses and we apply our general characterisation to this example to obtain explicit descriptions of the uncertain prisms and their potential path areas.

According to studies by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), tropical mountainous areas are experiencing increasingly unfavorable climatic conditions regarding geohazards due to a heightened occurrence of intense rainfall events. These climatic shifts contribute to heightened geological risks, notably an elevated frequency of landslides, exacerbating the challenges faced by these regions. There is an urgent need to understand and measure how rainfall variability affects geo-hydrological hazards, which remain difficult to determine and predict. The complex and non-linear space-time relationships and dynamics of rainfall, El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), and landslides in the Tropical Andean Mountain region in Colombia require an adequate analysis and understanding of their link in terms of its spatial and temporal component at different scales. By evaluation in annual, seasonal, and monthly scales, additional insights on the relationships using a wavelet spectral analysis and a space-time permutation scan statistics method using SaTScan™ are provided. In this study, a space-time and frequency analysis of landslides using a 42-year (1981–2022) rainfall and Multivariate ENSO Index v2.0 time series is presented. According to the results, landslides closely aligned with rainfall patterns, exhibiting a bimodal annual cycle. The ENSO added complexity, with La Niña years leading to more frequent landslides throughout the year and El Niño years showing concentrated occurrences in specific months. This study highlights the influence of rainfall patterns and antecedent rainfall on landslide occurrence, the impact of ENSO phases on rainfall and landslides, and the increasing trend of landslides in Colombia.

SPACETIME , *BIOLOGY ,UNIVERSE - Abstract
Space and time, which should properly be taken conjointly, are both communicatively produced and created with certain contextual perspectives—they are not independent physical entities. The standpoint of production makes the relationship between space and time comprehensible. They can either be mental-subjective, physical-objective, or social-intersubjective. Social and intersubjective (or E-series) spacetime might shed new light on biological thinking. For general readers, this paper provides a clue regarding an alternative conceptualization of spacetime based on biology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper investigates the space-time residual-based a posteriori error bounds of the mixed finite element method for the optimal control problem governed by the parabolic equation in a bounded convex domain. For the spatial discretization of the state and co-state variables, the lowest-order Raviart-Thomas spaces are utilized, although for the control variable, variational discretization technique is used. The backward-Euler implicit method is applied for temporal discretization. To provide a posteriori error estimates for the state and control variables in the L ∞ (L 2) -norm, an elliptic reconstruction approach paired with an energy strategy is utilized. The reliability and efficiency of the a posteriori error estimators are discussed. The effectiveness of the estimators is finally confirmed through the numerical tests. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

16. On locational sensory individuals and spacetime.

Cohen, Jonathan
- Abstract
Perception not only registers property instances, but also connects with and attributes properties to individual entities—so‐called sensory individuals, or SIs. But what are SIs? The most‐discussed answers are: (i) SIs are ordinary material objects—cohesive, temporally persistent objects extended and bounded in space, and (ii) SIs are locations or regions in spacetime. I will argue for the object view of SIs on the grounds that its rival, the locational view, faces obstacles concerning the relationship between SIs and spacetime: it makes a mystery of perception's representation of SIs as occupying locations in and moving in ordinary spacetime.

Conformal Carter–Penrose diagrams are used for the visualization of hyperboloidal slices, which are smooth spacelike slices reaching null infinity. The focus is on the Schwarzschild black hole geometry in spherical symmetry, whose Penrose diagrams are introduced in a pedagogical way. The stationary regime involves time-independent slices. In this case, different options are given for integrating the height function—the main ingredient for constructing hyperboloidal foliations. The dynamical regime considers slices changing in time, which are evolved together with the spacetime using the eikonal equation. It includes the relaxation of hyperboloidal Schwarzschild trumpet slices and the collapse of a massless scalar field into a black hole, for which Penrose diagrams are presented.

Spatial topology endows topological solitons, such as skyrmions and hopfions, with fascinating dynamics. However, the temporal dimension has so far provided a passive stage on which topological solitons evolve. Here we construct spacetime magnetic hopfions: magnetic textures in two spatial dimensions that when excited by a time-periodic drive develop spacetime topology. We uncover two complementary construction routes using skyrmions by braiding their center of mass position and by controlling their internal low-energy excitations. Spacetime magnetic hopfions can be realized in nanopatterned grids to braid skyrmions and in frustrated magnets under an applied AC electric field. Their topological invariant, the spacetime Hopf index, can be tuned by the applied electric field as demonstrated by our collective coordinate modeling and micromagnetic simulations. The principles we have introduced to actively control spacetime topology are not limited to magnetic solitons, opening avenues to explore spacetime topology of general order parameters and fields. Topological solitons are localized structures whose stability emerges from the topology of their spatial structure, hence they are usually independent of the temporal dimension. The authors construct topological magnetic solitons in space-time from periodically driven magnetic structures that can be externally controlled. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We present an overview of both older and recent developments concerning scale separation in string theory. We focus on parametric scale separation obtained at the classical level in flux compactifications down to AdS vacua. We review the scenarios that have been proposed to achieve a hierarchy of scales between spacetime and the internal space, built from a low-dimensional perspective. We then discuss how they have been understood to arise from proper higher-dimensional descriptions. Eventually, limitations of these constructions as well as Swampland and holographic arguments addressing the question of scale separation in string theory are discussed. The purpose of the review is to draw an accurate picture of the state of the art of the subject at the moment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The weak cosmic censorship conjecture is a hypothesis about the nature of event horizons and singularities during the formation of black holes. It posits that singularities are always enveloped by the event horizons of black holes, thereby preventing naked singularities from affecting the causal structure of spacetime. In this paper, we study the effect of rotating short haired black holes on the weak cosmic censorship conjecture. Discussion of whether the event horizons of a rotating short haired black hole is disrupted by studying incident neutral test particles and scalar fields. In the context of short haired black holes, when incident neutral test particles are considered for extreme and near extreme cases, our research results indicate that neutral test particles can destroy the event horizons of short haired black holes, violating the weak cosmic censorship conjecture. In the case of scalar field incidence in short haired black holes, for extreme situations, when the incident wave modes fall within the range of 1 2 κ M + β M κ < ω m < 1 2 M κ + β M κ - 1 2 κ , the results indicate that the event horizons of rotating short haired black holes is disrupted. For near extreme cases, the presence of hair allows for the disruption of the event horizons of rotating short haired black holes, as indicated by our results. Therefore, these conclusions are intriguing and will provide new insights for us to further understand the weak cosmic censorship conjecture and explore the properties of short haired black holes.

In our previous work (Zhang and Shu in Eur Phys J. C 84(3):256, 2024), we have explored quantum gravity induced entanglement of masses (QGEM) in curved spacetime, observing entanglement formation between particles moving along geodesics in a Schwarzschild spacetime background. We find that long interaction time induces entanglement, even for particles with microscopic mass, addressing decoherence concerns. In this work, we build upon our previous work (Zhang and Shu 2024) by extending our investigation to a time-dependent spacetime. Specifically, we explore the entanglement induced by the mutual gravitation of massive particles in the Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker (FLRW) universe. With the help of the phase shift and the QGEM spectrum, our proposed scheme offers a potential method for observing the formation of entanglement caused by the quantum gravity of massive particles as they propagate in the FLRW universe. Consequently, it provides insights into the field of entanglement in cosmology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We investigate the turnaround radius of the Reissner–Nordström deSitter Spacetime and how the turnaround radius changes if a test particle carries charge. We also consider the Martínez–Troncoso–Zanelli (MTZ) solution of conformally coupled gravity and investigate how the turnaround radius changes for a scalar test charge. In both scalar and electric interaction cases we find that the Turnaround Radius depends on the particle's energy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The process of the gravitational collapse might lead not only to a black hole but also to naked singularity formation. In this paper, we consider the generalized Vaidya spacetime with polytropic and generalized polytropic equations of state. We solve the Einstein and Einstein–Maxwell equations to obtain the explicit form of a mass function. We consider the limiting cases of solutions and find out, that generalized Vaidya spacetime might behave like Vaidya–de Sitter and Bonnor–Vaidya–de sitter solutions. Moreover, we explicitly show, that the part of solution, which depends on the polytropic index, is similar to cosmological fields surrounding both Vaidya and Bonnor–Vaidya black holes. The process of the gravitational collapse has been then considered. We have found out that the conditions of the naked singularity formation don't depend on the polytropic index.

Neutrinos from the cosmos have proven to be ideal for probing the nature of space-time. Previous studies on high-energy events of IceCube suggested that some of these events might be gamma-ray burst neutrinos, with their speeds varying linearly with their energy, implying also the coexistence of subluminal and superluminal propagation. However, a recent reanalysis of the data, incorporating revised directional information, reveals stronger signals that neutrinos are actually being slowed down compared to previous suggestion of neutrino speed variation. Thus, it is worth discussing its implications for the brane/string inspired framework of space-time foam, which has been used to explain previous observations. We revisit effects on neutrino propagation from specific foam models within the framework, indicating that the implied violation of Lorentz invariance could necessarily cause the neutrino to decelerate. We therefore argue that this sort of model is in agreement with the updated phenomenological indication just mentioned. An extended analysis of the revised IceCube data will further test these observations and stringy quantum gravity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this work, we apply an a posteriori error analysis for the space-time, discontinuous in time, Galerkin scheme, which has been proposed in Antonopoulou (2020, Space-time discontinuous Galerkin methods for the |$\varepsilon $| -dependent stochastic Allen–Cahn equation with mild noise. IMA J. Num. Analysis , 40 , 2076–2105) for the |$\varepsilon $| -dependent stochastic Allen–Cahn equation with mild noise |$\dot{W}^\varepsilon $| tending to rough as |$\varepsilon \rightarrow 0$|. Our results are derived under low regularity since the noise even smooth in space is assumed only one-time continuously differentiable in time, according to the minimum regularity properties of Funaki (1999, Singular limit for stochastic reaction–diffusion equation and generation of random interfaces. Acta Math. Sinica , 15 , 407–438). We prove a posteriori error estimates for the |$m$| -dimensional problem, |$m\leq 4$| for a general class of space-time finite element spaces. The a posteriori bound is growing only polynomially in |$\varepsilon ^{-1}$| if the step length |$h$| is bounded by a positive power of |$\varepsilon $|. This agrees with the restriction posed so far in the a priori error analysis of continuous finite element schemes for the |$\varepsilon $| -dependent deterministic Allen–Cahn or deterministic and stochastic Cahn–Hilliard equation. As an application, we examine tensorial elements where the discrete solution is approximated by polynomial functions of separated space and time variables; the a posteriori estimates there involve dimensions, and the space, time discretization parameters. We then consider the special case of the mild noise |$\dot{W}^\varepsilon $| as defined in Weber (2010, On the short time asymptotic of the stochastic Allen–Cahn equation. Ann. Inst. Henri Poincare Probab. Stat. , 46 , 965–975) through the convolution of a Gaussian process with a proper mollifying kernel, which is then numerically constructed. Finally, we provide some useful insights for the numerical algorithm, and present for the first time some numerical experiments of the scheme for both one- and two-dimensional problems in various cases of interest, and compare with the deterministic ones.

We determine the conjugacy classes of the Poincaré group ISO+(n, 1) and apply this to classify the stationary trajectories of Minkowski spacetimes in terms of timelike Killing vectors. Stationary trajectories are the orbits of timelike Killing vectors and, equivalently, the solutions to Frenet–Serret equations with constant curvature coefficients. We extend the 3 + 1 Minkowski spacetime Frenet–Serret equations due to Letaw to Minkowski spacetimes of arbitrary dimension. We present the explicit families of stationary trajectories in 4 + 1 Minkowski spacetime. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We are interested in the semilinear wave equations evolving in the expanding spacetimes with Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker (FLRW) metric. By the weighted energy estimate, we show that when the nonlinearity depends on the time derivative of the unknown, the equation admits a global smooth solution if the spacetime is undergoing accelerated expansion. While the solution will blowup in the sense of some averaged quantity if the expanding rate is not fast enough. When the nonlinearity depends on the space derivatives of the unknown or the unknown itself, we can show that the solution will blowup in finite time even though the expanding rate is fast enough (accelerated expansion). Our results show that the semilinear wave equations in FLRW spacetimes have different properties from the famous Glassey and Strauss conjectures in flat or asymptotically flat spacetimes.

This work develops two temporal second‐order alternating direction implicit (ADI) numerical schemes for solving multidimensional parabolic‐type integrodifferential equations with multi‐term weakly singular Abel kernels. For the two‐dimensional (2D) case, applying the Crank–Nicolson method and product integration rule to discretizations of temporal derivative and integral terms, respectively, and the spatial discretization is proposed using a compact difference formulation combined with the ADI algorithm; for the three‐dimensional case, the method of temporal discretization is the same as the 2D case, and then we employ the standard finite difference in space to construct a fully discrete ADI finite difference scheme. The ADI technique is used to reduce the calculation cost of the high‐dimensional problem. Besides, the stability and convergence of two ADI schemes are rigorously proved by the energy argument, in which the first scheme converges to the order τ2+h14+h24$$ {\tau}^2+{h}_1^4+{h}_2^4 $$, where τ$$ \tau $$, h1$$ {h}_1 $$, and h2$$ {h}_2 $$ denote the time‐space step sizes, respectively, and the second scheme converges to the space‐time second‐order accuracy. Finally, the numerical results verify the correctness of the theoretical analysis and show that the method of this article is competitive with the existing research work. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We define a new gauge independent quasi-local mass and energy, and show its relation to the Brown–York Hamilton–Jacobi analysis. A quasi-local proof of the positivity, based on spacetime harmonic functions, is given for admissible closed spacelike 2-surfaces which enclose an initial data set satisfying the dominant energy condition. Like the Wang-Yau mass, the new definition relies on isometric embeddings into Minkowski space, although our notion of admissibility is different from that of Wang and Yau. Rigidity is also established, in that vanishing energy implies that the 2-surface arises from an embedding into Minkowski space, and conversely the mass vanishes for any such surface. Furthermore, we show convergence to the ADM mass at spatial infinity, and provide the equation associated with optimal isometric embedding. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Ku, Cheng-Yu, Liu, Chih-Yu, Chiu, Yu-Jia, and Chen, Wei-Da
- Abstract
This study introduces a deep neural network approach that utilizes radial basis functions (RBFs) to solve forward and inverse problems in the process of diffusion. The input layer incorporates multiquadric (MQ) RBFs, symbolizing the radial distance between the boundary points on the spacetime boundary and the source points positioned outside the spacetime boundary. The output layer is the initial and boundary data given by analytical solutions of the diffusion equation. Utilizing the concept of the spacetime coordinates, the approximations for forward and backward diffusion problems involve assigning initial data on the bottom or top spacetime boundaries, respectively. As the need for discretization of the governing equation is eliminated, our straightforward approach uses only the provided boundary data and MQ RBFs. To validate the proposed method, various diffusion scenarios, including forward, backward, and inverse problems with noise, are examined. Results indicate that the method can achieve high-precision numerical solutions for solving diffusion problems. Notably, only 1/4 of the initial and boundary conditions are known, yet the method still yields precise results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The nonlinear space–time fractional Sasa–Satsuma and Schrödinger–Hirota equations with beta derivative describe optical soliton, photonics, plasmas, neutral scalar masons, and long-surface gravitational waves in the real world. Through the fractional wave transform, the models are converted into a single wave variable equation. In this article, we examine a range of compatible, useful, and typical wave solutions expressed in the forms of hyperbolic, trigonometric, and rational functions uniformly through the ( Q ′ / Q , 1 / Q )-expansion approach. When specific parameter values are set, the generalized wave solutions exhibit a wide range of shapes, including asymptotic, anti-asymptotic, dark-optical, breather, lump-periodic, kink, kink-bell-shaped, homoclinic-breather, bright, dark, and periodic solitons that resemble periodic breathing patterns. We also investigate the effect of the fractional parameter δ into the wave profile, revealing a clear correlation between changes in the fractional order derivative δ and variation in the soliton's shape. The results underscore the use of this approach for the exploration of diverse nonlinear fractional systems within the context of beta derivatives. Varying the fractional-order δ and maintaining specific fixed parameter values, we depict 3D-surface, 2D-surface, density, and contour plots to visualize some of the derived solutions.

In this work, we investigate coupled space–time fractional nonlinear Schrödinger equation (FNSE) arising in physics. The FNSE can be utilized to explain non-relativistic quantum mechanical phenomena. With the aid of the conformable fractional derivative (CFD) and fractional complex transform (FCT), we implement the extensive direct algebraic approach (EDAA), the behaviors of some of the generated solutions are shown as 3D-graphics for various with different fractal orders. The optical soliton solutions that are bright periodic, kink bright and kink-bright periodic are among these precise solutions. The acquired results demonstrate the simplicity, effectiveness, and capacity to produce additional kinds of exact solutions of these proposed methods, which are useful in deciphering the intricate physical interpretation of space–time FNSE.

GLOBAL Positioning System , *ARTIFICIAL satellite tracking , *SPACETIME , *ANTENNA arrays - Abstract
Space‐time adaptive processor (STAP) has been widely used for global navigation satellite system (GNSS) anti‐jamming receiver due to its good anti‐jamming performance. When direction of satellite is unknown, STAP can be implemented based on power inversion (PI) criterion. However, existing space‐time PI algorithm will introduce tens to hundreds of degrees biases into carrier phase, and sometimes will even cause cycle slips, which will reduce the success rate of ambiguity resolution, ultimately deteriorating positioning accuracy. A distortion‐less carrier phase tracking space‐time PI algorithm is proposed. The main novelty is that the proposed algorithm keeps the coefficients of the temporal taps as real values by imposing constraints on the weights of the antenna array. Several experiments are implemented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. For comparison, the results of PI algorithm and minimum variance distortion‐less response (MVDR) algorithm are shown. Results show that when the number, style, and direction of interferences and the direction of GNSS signal vary, different degrees of biases are introduced into carrier phases for the PI and the MVDR algorithm. However, no bias is introduced into the proposed algorithm. As a result, the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is verified. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We compare a relativistic and a nonrelativistic version of Ostrogradsky's method for higher-time derivative theories extended to scalar field theories and consider as an alternative a multi-field variant. We apply the schemes to space–time rotated modified Korteweg–de Vries systems and, exploiting their integrability, to Hamiltonian systems built from space–time rotated inverse Legendre transformed higher-order charges of these systems. We derive the equal-time Poisson bracket structures of these theories, establish the integrability of the latter theories by means of the Painlevé test and construct exact analytical period benign solutions in terms of Jacobi elliptic functions to the classical equations of motion. The classical energies of these partially complex solutions are real when they respect a certain modified CPT-symmetry and complex when this symmetry is broken. The higher-order Cauchy and initial-boundary value problem are addressed analytically and numerically. Finally, we provide the explicit quantization of the simplest mKdV system, exhibiting the usual conundrum of having the choice between having to deal with either a theory that includes non-normalizable states or spectra that are unbounded from below. In our non-Hermitian system, the choice is dictated by the correct sign in the decay width. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Zika, a viral disease transmitted to humans by Aedes mosquitoes, emerged in the Americas in 2015, causing large-scale epidemics. Colombia alone reported over 72,000 Zika cases between 2015 and 2016. Using national surveillance data from 1121 municipalities over 70 weeks, we identified sociodemographic and environmental factors associated with Zika's emergence, re-emergence, persistence, and transmission intensity in Colombia. We fitted a zero-state Markov-switching model under the Bayesian framework, assuming Zika switched between periods of presence and absence according to spatially and temporally varying probabilities of emergence/re-emergence (from absence to presence) and persistence (from presence to presence). These probabilities were assumed to follow a series of mixed multiple logistic regressions. When Zika was present, assuming that the cases follow a negative binomial distribution, we estimated the transmission intensity rate. Our results indicate that Zika emerged/re-emerged sooner and that transmission was intensified in municipalities that were more densely populated, at lower altitudes and/or with less vegetation cover. Warmer temperatures and less weekly-accumulated rain were also associated with Zika emergence. Zika cases persisted for longer in more densely populated areas with more cases reported in the previous week. Overall, population density, elevation, and temperature were identified as the main contributors to the first Zika epidemic in Colombia. We also estimated the probability of Zika presence by municipality and week, and the results suggest that the disease circulated undetected by the surveillance system on many occasions. Our results offer insights into priority areas for public health interventions against emerging and re-emerging Aedes-borne diseases. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper extends the definition of the complexity factor for a charged self‐gravitating structure in the background of f(R,T)$f(\mathbf {R},\mathbf {T})$ gravity. For this purpose, the modified Einstein‐Maxwell field equations and the mass function in terms of interior charge are calculated corresponding to a static sphere. The Reissner‐Nordström exterior spacetime and match it with the spherical interior at the hypersurface to determine the junction conditions are adopted then. The curvature tensor is also decomposed orthogonally, resulting in several scalar functions. Only YTF$\mathbf {Y}_{TF}$ encompasses all the required parameters and fulfills the proposed criteria to be the complexity factor for the considered setup is noticed. Moreover, some constraints to minimize the degrees of freedom in the field equations are chosen. To achieve this, complexity‐free constraint with four additional conditions depending on the matter sector that lead to different models is employed. The stability of the developed models is also analyzed in the presence and absence of charge through the standard model R+2ξ3T$\mathbf {R}+2\xi _3\mathbf {T}$ by varying the values of the model parameter ξ3$\xi _3$. The presence of charge in compact models corresponding to Pr=0$\mathrm{P}_r=0$, a polytropic and a linear equation of state make them stable for specific values of ξ3$\xi _3$ is concluded.

The focus of this paper is to analyze the trends and locations of accidents in the Greater Melbourne Area (GMA) during a 15-year period (2006–2020). The places where accidents were most prevalent were discovered and the reasons which are contributing to the high accident rates in those areas are determined. Analyzing the patterns over time and variations in the frequency of accidents helped to identify areas that have improved or deteriorated in terms of road safety. A Tweedie model was developed to examine the intricate interaction between the accident frequency and its potential contributing factors such as socio-demographics, road transport infrastructure, and built environment. Ultimately, a clustering analysis was performed to elucidate the dispersion of road accident risk ratings among different local government areas (LGAs), offering useful insights into road safety initiatives and prioritization. • The study linked built environment to accidents with Twidee and Space-time Cube. • Accidents down overall (20 yrs), but hotspots move outward. • Melbourne suburbs form five risk clusters based on accident frequency.

Research examining migrant homemaking is multi-disciplinary and well-developed, providing evidence that 'home' exists in multiple places. However, only a small component of this work examines the role of the senses. This paper draws on research conducted between 2015 and 2019 in Glasgow, a city in Scotland, UK, with migrant, refugee and asylum-seeking women that used photo elicitation interviews, to bridge the gap between scholarship on migrant homemaking and the senses. The paper empirically demonstrates how the senses allow migrants to cultivate the embodied experience of physically being elsewhere by drawing on sensory memories, practices, and material cultures, specifically engaging taste and smell. The paper analyses the experience of four participants who described this sensation, and addresses the impact of the security of migrant status and financial resources in sensory homemaking. The concluding discussion proposes the concept of 'sensory space-time compression' as a novel way of understanding the sensory experiences of home in the context of migration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The magnitude of life on Earth and human limitations hinder the understanding of even the most basic aspects of biodiversity, such as the identity of species inhabiting the Earth, the so‐called Linnean shortfall. Evaluating patterns in species description dates and their relationship with macroecological variables can help guide where taxonomic efforts should be focused. Therefore, we aim to assess the Linnean shortfall in the knowledge of New World coralsnake biodiversity. We modelled species description dates and estimated that approximately one‐third of the coralsnake diversity remains unknown. The undescribed species are evolutionarily closely related to the already described species. Moreover, recently described species in the group have more restricted geographic ranges and tend to be small‐bodied. The western Amazon and the dry diagonal (i.e. Caatinga, Cerrado, and Chaco) are the areas with the oldest description dates. However, assemblages in these areas have the largest average geographic distances to the type locality of their species, suggesting that little taxonomic effort has been dedicated intrinsically to these regions. We suggest that allocating taxonomic efforts to the dry diagonal and the use of integrative taxonomic techniques for better species delimitation are imperative to fill the Linnean shortfall for the New World coralsnakes.

The C*-algebraic construction of QFT by Buchholz and one of us relies on the causal structure of space-time and a classical Lagrangian. In one of our previous papers, we have introduced additional structure into this construction, namely an action of symmetries, which is related to fixing renormalization conditions. This action characterizes anomalies and satisfies a cocycle condition which is summarized in the unitary anomalous Master Ward identity. Here (using perturbation theory) we show how this cocycle condition is related to the Wess–Zumino consistency relation and the consistency relation for the anomaly in the BV formalism, where the latter follows from the generalized Jacobi identity for the associated L ∞ -algebra. In addition, we give a proof that perturbative agreement (i.e., independence of a perturbative QFT on the splitting of the Lagrangian into free and interacting parts) can be achieved by finite renormalizations.

In general, a perfect fluid spacetime is not a generalized Robertson–Walker spacetime and the converse is also not true. In this paper, it is shown that if a perfect fluid spacetime satisfies the critical point equation, then either the spacetime becomes a generalized Robertson–Walker spacetime and represents dark era or the vorticity of the fluid vanishes as well as the spacetime is expansion free. Besides, we prove that if a generalized Robertson–Walker spacetime with constant scalar curvature satisfies the critical point equation, then the spacetime becomes a perfect fluid spacetime. Next, the existence of critical point equation is established by a non-trivial example. Finally, we discuss the critical point equation in f (r) -gravity. For the model f (r) = r − α (1 − e − r α ) (α = constant and r is the scalar curvature of the spacetime), various energy conditions in terms of the scalar curvature are examined and state that the Universe is in an accelerating phase and satisfies the weak, null, dominant, and strong energy conditions.

In this study, the energy–momentum localization problem is addressed within the framework of rainbow gravity. Considering the black string black hole, one of the cylindrical black hole models, energy–momentum distributions are obtained for Einstein, Bergmann–Thomson, and Landau–Liftshitz prescriptions in rainbow gravity. All prescriptions' energy densities are non-zero and depend on the rainbow functions, while the momentum distributions are zero. It has been observed that space-time energy does not depend on the energy of the test particle for some particular choices of rainbow functions. The results obtained for all special cases are given in a table. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we explore the existence of wormholes in the context of f (R , T) gravity. The f (R , T) theory is a curvature-matter coupled modified gravity that depends on an arbitrary function of the Ricci scalar R and the trace of the stress-energy tensor T. In this work, we adopt two different choices for the matter Lagrangian density ( ℒ m = and ℒ m = p r ) and investigate the impact of each one on wormhole structure. By adequately specifying the redshift function and the shape function, we found a variety of exact wormhole solutions in the theory. Our finding indicates that for both classes of wormholes, the energy density is always positive throughout the spacetime, while the radial pressure is negative. This means exotic matter is necessary for the existence of wormholes in f (R , T) gravity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Moreover, we examine the stability of initial data in the dynamical system governed by Einstein's equations, considering variations in parameters that influence naked singularity formation. We illustrate how these results apply to a family of scalar field models, concluding with a discussion on the concept of genericity in singularity studies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We explore an idea put forward many years ago by Zeldovich and Novikov concerning the existence of compact objects endowed with arbitrarily small mass. The energy density of such objects, which we call "ghost stars", is negative in some regions of the fluid distribution, producing a vanishing total mass. Thus, the interior is matched on the boundary surface to Minkowski space–time. Some exact analytical solutions are exhibited and their properties are analyzed. Observational data that could confirm or dismiss the existence of this kind of stellar object are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper argues for the renewed relevance of time geography in tourism in light of the use of mobile technologies and ubiquitous connectivity. The paper proposes the concept of phygitality to understand how digital technologies are used in physical space, and how the interaction between the physical and the digital reconfigures tourists' projects, paths, bundles, and constraints. The theoretical contribution builds on fifteen semi-structured interviews. The analysis shows that capability, coupling, and authority constraints are altered and mediated by digital devices. In the phygital time-space, tourists orient themselves in physical spaces, influenced by digital information; they create phygital paths and move between stations that result from the overlaying of digital information onto the physical space. Tourists' goal-oriented mobility results in phygital projects, where logics of efficiency and optimization reduce the liminality of the tourist experience.

A complete canonical formulation of general covariance makes it possible to construct new modified theories of gravity that are not of higher-curvature form, as shown here in a spherically symmetric setting. The usual uniqueness theorems are evaded by using a crucial and novel ingredient, allowing for fundamental fields of gravity distinct from an emergent space-time metric that provides a geometrical structure to all solutions. As specific examples, there are new expansion-shear couplings in cosmological models, a form of modified Newtonian dynamics can appear in a space-time covariant theory without introducing extra fields, and related effects help to make effective models of canonical quantum gravity fully consistent with general covariance.
