Carter-Payne homomorphisms and Jantzen filtrations
We prove a q-analogue of the Carter-Payne theorem in the case where the
differences between the parts of the partitions are sufficiently large. We
identify a layer of the Jantzen filtration which contains the image of these
Carter-Payne homomorphisms and we show how these homomorphisms compose.Comment: 30 page
Comment on "A linear optics implementation of weak values in Hardy's paradox"
A recent experimental proposal by Ahnert and Payne [S.E. Ahnert and M.C.
Payne, Phys. Rev. A 70, 042102 (2004)] outlines a method to measure the weak
value predictions of Aharonov in Hardy's paradox. This proposal contains flaws
such as the state preparation method and the procedure for carrying out the
requisite weak measurements. We identify previously published solutions to some
of the flaws.Comment: To be published in Physical Review
The Life and Impact of Daniel Alexander Payne
On Washington Street, across from McKnight Hall and adjacent to the Intercultural Resource Center, a sign stands in commemoration of the life and accomplishments of an African American who studied at the seminary from 1835 to 1837. The plaque reads: Daniel Alexander Payne (1811-1893). Born a free African American. He taught the colored people at this college, 1837, while a student at the Lutheran Seminary. A historian, he was elected bishop of the AME Church, 1852, and was president of Wilberforce University, 1863-76. What Payne was able to achieve in his life is matched by few of his contemporaries considering the fact that he was a black who grew up in Charleston, South Carolina. Believing that he was ordained by God, he became an educator and an ordained minister. Later in his life, Payne became the first African American president of a college when the African Methodist Church bought Wilberforce University in 1863. Daniel Payne, with his intellectual ideas, influenced the policy of the AME Church for years to come. The Gettysburg College Intercultural Resource Center claims that Pennsylvania College’s acceptance of Daniel Payne was “the first step at addressing cultural diversity at Gettysburg College.” Payne’s personal ambition and his influence in both the abolition movement and the education of black Americans present an example of a model citizen.

An argument for the admissibility of execution impact evidence in pennsylvania
In 1991, the United States Supreme Court made a significant change to sentencing proceedings during capital trials. The Court ruled in Payne v. Tennessee that the Eighth Amendment does not prohibit “victim impact evidence,” testimony about the character of the murder victim and the impact of the death on the victim’s family. The Payne decision permits highly emotional testimony from family members to enter into the penalty phase of a death penalty trial
Cyclotomic Carter-Payne homomorphisms
We construct a new family of homomorphisms between (graded) Specht modules of
the quiver Hecke algebras of type A. These maps have many similarities with the
homomorphisms constructed by Carter and Payne in the special case of the
symmetric groups, although the maps that we obtain are both more and less
general than these.Comment: This paper has been updated. The formula for the degree shift in
Theorem 3.28 has been corrected and Examples 3.31 and 3.36 have been changed

The Payne: self-consistent ab initio fitting of stellar spectra
We present The Payne, a general method for the precise and simultaneous
determination of numerous stellar labels from observed spectra, based on
fitting physical spectral models. The Payne combines a number of important
methodological aspects: it exploits the information from much of the available
spectral range; it fits all labels (stellar parameters and element abundances)
simultaneously; it uses spectral models, where the atmosphere structure and the
radiative transport are consistently calculated to reflect the stellar labels.
At its core The Payne has an approach to accurate and precise interpolation and
prediction of the spectrum in high-dimensional label-space, which is flexible
and robust, yet based on only a moderate number of ab initio models (O(1000)
for 25 labels). With a simple neural-net-like functional form and a suitable
choice of training labels, this interpolation yields a spectral flux prediction
good to rms across a wide range of and log g (including
dwarfs and giants). We illustrate the power of this approach by applying it to
the APOGEE DR14 data set, drawing on Kurucz models with recently improved line
lists: without recalibration, we obtain physically sensible stellar parameters
as well as 15 element abundances that appear to be more precise than the
published APOGEE DR14 values. In short, The Payne is an approach that for the
first time combines all these key ingredients, necessary for progress towards
optimal modelling of survey spectra; and it leads to both precise and accurate
estimates of stellar labels, based on physical models and without
re-calibration. Both the codes and catalog are made publicly available online.Comment: 22 pages, 17 figures, 2 tables, ApJ (Accepted for publication- 2019

Daniel Alexander Payne Historical Marker
Racial oppression marked the nineteenth century in American history. People of color were seen as inferior and had a hard time bettering their lives through education or employment. However some men were able to rise above oppression. Daniel Alexander Payne was one such individual who was able to better his life. He served as a pioneer in the advancement of African Americans long before the NAACP or the Civil Rights Movement. Through his hard work and faith in God, he made inroads that would lead to equality for all people. Most people probably ignore or do not see Daniel Payne’s marker, but those who do probably wonder who he is, not realizing the greatness he achieved in his lifetime. [excerpt]
