Approximation in quantale-enriched categories
Our work is a fundamental study of the notion of approximation in
V-categories and in (U,V)-categories, for a quantale V and the ultrafilter
monad U. We introduce auxiliary, approximating and Scott-continuous
distributors, the way-below distributor, and continuity of V- and
(U,V)-categories. We fully characterize continuous V-categories (resp.
(U,V)-categories) among all cocomplete V-categories (resp. (U,V)-categories) in
the same ways as continuous domains are characterized among all dcpos. By
varying the choice of the quantale V and the notion of ideals, and by further
allowing the ultrafilter monad to act on the quantale, we obtain a flexible
theory of continuity that applies to partial orders and to metric and
topological spaces. We demonstrate on examples that our theory unifies some
major approaches to quantitative domain theory.Comment: 17 page
Dynamics in the Ising field theory after a quantum quench
We study the real-time dynamics of the order parameter . Our main result is the development of
a method for treating divergences associated with working directly in the field
theory limit. We recover the scaling limit of the corresponding result by
Calabrese et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. \textbf{106}, 227203 (2011)], which was
obtained for the lattice model. Our formalism generalizes to integrable quantum
quenches in other integrable models
Symmetries in the Lorenz-96 model
The Lorenz-96 model is widely used as a test model for various applications,
such as data assimilation methods. This symmetric model has the forcing
and the dimension as parameters and is
equivariant. In this paper, we unravel its dynamics for
using equivariant bifurcation theory. Symmetry gives rise to invariant
subspaces, that play an important role in this model. We exploit them in order
to generalise results from a low dimension to all multiples of that dimension.
We discuss symmetry for periodic orbits as well.
Our analysis leads to proofs of the existence of pitchfork bifurcations for
in specific dimensions : In all even dimensions, the equilibrium
exhibits a supercritical pitchfork bifurcation. In dimensions
, , a second supercritical pitchfork bifurcation occurs
simultaneously for both equilibria originating from the previous one.
Furthermore, numerical observations reveal that in dimension , where
and is odd, there is a finite cascade of exactly
subsequent pitchfork bifurcations, whose bifurcation values are independent
of . This structure is discussed and interpreted in light of the symmetries
of the model.Comment: 31 pages, 9 figures and 3 table
Are Local Milieus the Key to Innovation Performance?
This study investigates how local milieus foster innovation success in firms. We complement the common practice of linking firm performance indicators to regional characteristics with survey evidence on the perceived importance of locational factors. While the former approach assumes that location characteristics affect all firms in the same way, the survey allows us to model how firms judge the attractiveness of locations using a heterogeneous set of criteria. It turns out that the availability of highly skilled labor and the proximity to suppliers matter for firms' innovation performance. Interestingly, location factors obtained from the survey provide a more accurate explanation of how local milieus facilitate innovation. --Innovation performance,R&D,location factors,Flanders
Financial Constraints: Routine Versus Cutting Edge R&D Investment
We analyze financial constraints for R&D, where we account for heterogeneity among investments which has been neglected in previous literature. According to economic theory, investments should be distinguished by their degree of uncertainty, e.g. routine R&D versus cutting-edge R&D. Financial constraints should be more binding for cutting-edge R&D than for routine R&D. Using panel data we find that R&D spending of firms devoting a significant fraction of R&D to cutting-edge projects is curtailed by credit constraints while routine R&D investments are not. This has important policy implications with respect to the distribution of R&D subsidies in the economy. --R&D,Financial Constraints,Panel Data

Quantum quench in the sine-Gordon model
We consider the time evolution in the repulsive sine-Gordon quantum field
theory after the system is prepared in a particular class of initial states. We
focus on the time dependence of the one-point function of the semi-local
operator . By using two different methods
based on form-factor expansions, we show that this expectation value decays to
zero exponentially, and we determine the decay rate by analytical means. Our
methods generalise to other correlation functions and integrable models.Comment: 41 pages, 1 figure, some typos correcte
Transverse momentum distribution of vector mesons produced in ultraperipheral relativistic heavy ion collisions
We study the transverse momentum distribution of vector mesons produced in
ultraperipheral relativistic heavy ion collisions (UPCs). In UPCs there is no
strong interaction between the nuclei and the vector mesons are produced in
photon-nucleus collisions where the (quasireal) photon is emitted from the
other nucleus. Exchanging the role of both ions leads to interference effects.
A detailed study of the transverse momentum distribution which is determined by
the transverse momentum of the emitted photon, the production process on the
target and the interference effect is done. We study the total unrestricted
cross section and those, where an additional electromagnetic excitation of one
or both of the ions takes place in addition to the vector meson production, in
the latter case small impact parameters are emphasized.Comment: 12 pages, REVTeX manuscrip
