Gaussian multiplicative chaos through the lens of the 2D Gaussian free field
The aim of this review-style paper is to provide a concise, self-contained
and unified presentation of the construction and main properties of Gaussian
multiplicative chaos (GMC) measures for log-correlated fields in 2D in the
subcritical regime. By considering the case of the 2D Gaussian free field, we
review convergence, uniqueness and characterisations of the measures; revisit
Kahane's convexity inequalities and existence and scaling of moments; discuss
the measurability of the underlying field with respect to the GMC measure and
present a KPZ relation for scaling exponents.Comment: 28p, less typos in the 3rd, published version, still no figures, I

Noise-Induced Synchronization of a Large Population of Globally Coupled Nonidentical Oscillators
We study a large population of globally coupled phase oscillators subject to
common white Gaussian noise and find analytically that the critical coupling
strength between oscillators for synchronization transition decreases with an
increase in the intensity of common noise. Thus, common noise promotes the
onset of synchronization. Our prediction is confirmed by numerical simulations
of the phase oscillators as well as of limit-cycle oscillators
Collective Phase Sensitivity
The collective phase response to a macroscopic external perturbation of a
population of interacting nonlinear elements exhibiting collective oscillations
is formulated for the case of globally-coupled oscillators. The macroscopic
phase sensitivity is derived from the microscopic phase sensitivity of the
constituent oscillators by a two-step phase reduction. We apply this result to
quantify the stability of the macroscopic common-noise induced synchronization
of two uncoupled populations of oscillators undergoing coherent collective
oscillations.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figure

Intergroup contact throughout the lifespan modulates implicit racial biases across perceivers’ racial group
Few researchers have investigated how contact across the lifespan influences racial bias and whether diversity of contact is beneficial regardless of the race of the perceiver. This research aims to address these gaps in the literature with a focus on how diversity in childhood and current contact shapes implicit racial bias across perceivers’ racial group. In two investigations, participants completed an Implicit Association Test and a self-report measure of the racial diversity of their current and childhood contact. In both studies, increased contact with Black compared with White individuals, both in childhood (Study 2) and currently (Studies 1 and 2), was associated with reduced implicit pro-White racial bias. For Black individuals (Study 2) more contact with Black compared with White individuals also was associated with reduced implicit pro-White racial bias. These findings suggest that diversity in contact across the lifespan may be related to reductions in implicit racial biases and that this relationship may generalize across racial groups
