Conjecture on the Physical Implications of the Scale Anomaly
Murray Gell-Mann, after co-inventing QCD, recognized the interplay of the
scale anomaly, the renormalization group, and the origin of the strong scale,
Lambda_{QCD}. I tell a story, then elaborate this concept, and for the sake of
discussion, propose a conjecture that the physical world is scale invariant in
the classical, \hbar -> 0, limit. This principle has implications for the
dimensionality of space-time, the cosmological constant, the weak scale, and
Planck scale.Comment: Invited talk delivered at the Santa Fe Institute on the Occasion of

The State of Pakistanâs Dairy Sector: An Assessment
While there is a plethora of research documenting a multitude of dimensions of the crop sector of Pakistan, the virtual absence of meaningful economic analysis of the dairy economy is surprising. No serious attempt has been made in the past to clarify the microlevel potential of this sector to impact rural economy. This paper is a pioneering attempt to provide an objective assessment of the state of Pakistanâs dairy and to point out areas of further research. The paper analyses some core issues, highlights the potential of this sector, and recommends the measures to be adopted towards such a goal.Dairy Industry, Pakistan

Singular inflation
We prove that a homogeneous and isotropic universe containing a scalar field with a power-law potential, V(Ď)=AĎ^n, with 00 always develops a finite-time singularity at which the Hubble rate and its first derivative are finite, but its second derivative diverges. These are the first examples of cosmological models with realistic matter sources that possess weak singularities of âsuddenâ type. We also show that a large class of models with even weaker singularities exists for noninteger n>1. More precisely, if k<n<k+1 where k is a positive integer then the first divergence of the Hubble rate occurs with its (k+2)th derivative. At early times these models behave like standard large-field inflation models but they encounter a singular end state when inflation ends. We term this singular inflation.A.A.H.G. and J.D.B. are supported by the STFC.This is the author accepted manuscript.

Arbeitsgemeinschaft: Ergodic Theory and Combinatorial Number Theory
The aim of this Arbeitsgemeinschaft was to introduce young researchers with various backgrounds to the multifaceted and mutually perpetuating connections between ergodic theory, topological dynamics, combinatorics, and number theory
The complexity of energy eigenstates as a mechanism for equilibration
Understanding the mechanisms responsible for the equilibration of isolated
quantum many-body systems is a long-standing open problem. In this work we
obtain a statistical relationship between the equilibration properties of
Hamiltonians and the complexity of their eigenvectors, provided that a
conjecture about the incompressibility of quantum circuits holds. We quantify
the complexity by the size of the smallest quantum circuit mapping the local
basis onto the energy eigenbasis. Specifically, we consider the set of all
Hamiltonians having complexity C, and show that almost all such Hamiltonians
equilibrate if C is super-quadratic with the system size, which includes the
fully random Hamiltonian case in the limit C to infinity, and do not
equilibrate if C is sub-linear. We also provide a simple formula for the
equilibration time-scale in terms of the Fourier transform of the level
density. Our results are statistical and, therefore, do not apply to specific
Hamiltonians. Yet, they establish a fundamental link between equilibration and
complexity theory.Comment: improved version (6 pages + appendix
