The geometric sense of R. Sasaki connection
For the Riemannian manifold two special connections on the sum of the
tangent bundle and the trivial one-dimensional bundle are constructed.
These connections are flat if and only if the space has a constant
sectional curvature . The geometric explanation of this property is
given. This construction gives a coordinate free many-dimensional
generalization of the connection from the paper: R. Sasaki 1979 Soliton
equations and pseudospherical surfaces, Nuclear Phys., {\bf 154 B}, pp.
343-357. It is shown that these connections are in close relation with the
imbedding of into Euclidean or pseudoeuclidean -dimension
spaces.Comment: 7 pages, the key reference to the paper of Min-Oo is included in the

The Application of Space Syntaxmodelling in Data-based Urban Design: an Example of Chaoyang Square Renewal in Jilin City
In the past decades, Space Syntax offers a series of theories and techniques to study the relationship between urban space and social-economic activities, and has been proved effective in analysis and design practices thanks to the open sources in the big data era. Taking the Chaoyang Square Renewal project in Jilin City, Jilin Province as an example, this article introduces the analyses of traffic volumes and visual integration of the square and the connected streets with modeling tools such as Segment Map and the intelligent multi-agent systems in Visibility Graph Analysis. All these analyses provided a basis for the full design process, from conceptual design to proposal evaluation, in order to activate this site through introducing pedestrian vitality. Prospects on new technologies in Artificial Intelligence, such as machine learning, are also explored to promote the research of Space Syntax and related application in urban design

X-ray detection of the most extreme star-forming galaxies at the cosmic noon via strong lensing
Hyperluminous infrared galaxies (HyLIRGs) are the most extreme star-forming systems observed in the early Universe, and their properties still elude comprehensive understanding. We have undertaken a large XMM–Newton observing programme to probe the total accreting black hole population in three HyLIRGs at z = 2.12, 3.25, and 3.55, gravitationally lensed by foreground galaxies. Selected from the Planck All-Sky Survey to Analyse Gravitationally lensed Extreme Starbursts (PASSAGES), these HyLIRGs have apparent infrared luminosities \u3e1014 L⊙. Our observations revealed X-ray emission in each of them. PJ1336+49 appears to be dominated by high-mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs). Remarkably, the luminosity of this non-AGN X-ray emission exceeds by a factor of about 3 the value obtained by calibration with local galaxies with much lower star formation rates. This enhanced X-ray emission most likely highlights the efficacy of dynamical HMXB production within compact clusters, which is an important mode of star formation in HyLIRGs. The remaining two (PJ0116−24 and PJ1053+60) morphologically and spectrally exhibit a compact X-ray component in addition to the extended non-AGN X-ray emission, indicating the presence of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs). The AGN appears to be centrally located in the reconstructed source plane images of PJ0116−24, which manifests its star-forming activity predominantly within an extended galactic disc. In contrast, the AGN in the field of PJ1053+60 is projected 60 kpc away from the extreme star-forming galaxy and could be ejected from it. These results underline the synergistic potential of deep X-ray observations with strong lensing for the study of high-energy astrophysical phenomena in HyLIRGs
Ground-State Fidelity and Kosterlitz-Thouless Phase Transition for Spin 1/2 Heisenberg Chain with Next-to-the-Nearest-Neighbor Interaction
The Kosterlitz-Thouless transition for the spin 1/2 Heisenberg chain with the
next-to-the-nearest-neighbor interaction is investigated in the context of an
infinite matrix product state algorithm, which is a generalization of the
infinite time-evolving block decimation algorithm [G. Vidal, Phys. Rev. Lett.
\textbf{98}, 070201 (2007)] to accommodate both the
next-to-the-nearest-neighbor interaction and spontaneous dimerization. It is
found that, in the critical regime, the algorithm automatically leads to
infinite degenerate ground-state wave functions, due to the finiteness of the
truncation dimension. This results in \textit{pseudo} symmetry spontaneous
breakdown, as reflected in a bifurcation in the ground-state fidelity per
lattice site. In addition, this allows to introduce a pseudo-order parameter to
characterize the Kosterlitz-Thouless transition.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
Improved lattice QCD with quarks: the 2 dimensional case
QCD in two dimensions is investigated using the improved fermionic lattice
Hamiltonian proposed by Luo, Chen, Xu, and Jiang. We show that the improved
theory leads to a significant reduction of the finite lattice spacing errors.
The quark condensate and the mass of lightest quark and anti-quark bound state
in the strong coupling phase (different from t'Hooft phase) are computed. We
find agreement between our results and the analytical ones in the continuum.Comment: LaTeX file (including text + 10 figures
Coulomb effects on the formation of proton halo nuclei
The exotic structures in the 2s_{1/2} states of five pairs of mirror nuclei
^{17}O-^{17}F, ^{26}Na-^{26}P, ^{27}Mg-^{27}P, ^{28}Al-^{28}P and
^{29}Si-^{29}P are investigated with the relativistic mean-field (RMF) theory
and the single-particle model (SPM) to explore the role of the Coulomb effects
on the proton halo formation. The present RMF calculations show that the exotic
structure of the valence proton is more obvious than that of the valence
neutron of its mirror nucleus, the difference of exotic size between each
mirror nuclei becomes smaller with the increase of mass number A of the mirror
nuclei and the ratios of the valence proton and valence neutron
root-mean-square (RMS) radius to the matter radius in each pair of mirror
nuclei all decrease linearly with the increase of A. In order to interpret
these results, we analyze two opposite effects of Coulomb interaction on the
exotic structure formation with SPM and find that the contribution of the
energy level shift is more important than that of the Coulomb barrier for light
nuclei. However, the hindrance of the Coulomb barrier becomes more obvious with
the increase of A. When A is larger than 34, Coulomb effects on the exotic
structure formation will almost become zero because its two effects counteract
with each other.Comment: 9 pages, 6 figures. One colum
