Damping of Alfven waves by Turbulence and its Consequences: from Cosmic-Rays Streaming to Launching Winds
This paper considers turbulent damping of Alfven waves in magnetized plasmas. We identify two cases of damping, one related to damping of cosmic rays streaming instability, the other related to damping of Alfven waves emitted by a macroscopic wave source, e.g. stellar atmosphere. The physical difference between the two cases is that in the former case the generated waves are emitted in respect to the local direction of magnetic field, in the latter in respect to the mean field. The scaling of damping is different in the two cases. We the regimes of turbulence ranging from subAlfvenic to superAlfvenic we obtain analytical expressions for the damping rates and define the ranges of applicability of these expressions. Describing the damping of the streaming instability, we find that for subAlfvenic turbulence the range of cosmic ray energies influenced by weak turbulence is unproportionally large compared to the range of scales that the weak turbulence is present. On the contrary, the range of cosmic ray energies affected by strong Alfvenic turbulence is rather limited. A number of astrophysical applications of the process ranging from launching of stellar and galactic winds to propagation of cosmic rays in galaxies and clusters of galaxies is considered. In particular, we discuss how to reconcile the process of turbulent damping with the observed isotropy of the Milky Way cosmic rays.

Quantum Landau damping in dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates
We consider Landau damping of elementary excitations in Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) with dipolar interactions. We discuss quantum and quasi-classical regimes of Landau damping. We use a generalized wave-kinetic description of BECs which, apart from the long range dipolar interactions, also takes into account the quantum fluctuations and the finite energy corrections to short-range interactions. Such a description is therefore more general than the usual mean field approximation. The present wave-kinetic approach is well suited for the study of kinetic effects in BECs, such as those associated with Landau damping, atom trapping and turbulent diffusion. The inclusion of quantum fluctuations and energy corrections change the dispersion relation and the damping rates, leading to possible experimental signatures of these effects. Quantum Landau damping is described with generality, and particular examples of dipole condensates in two and three dimensions are studied. The occurrence of roton-maxon configurations, and their relevance to Landau damping is also considered in detail, as well as the changes introduced by the three different processes, associated with dipolar interactions, quantum fluctuations and finite energy range collisions. The present approach is mainly based on a linear perturbative procedure, but the nonlinear regime of Landau damping, which includes atom trapping and atom diffusion, is also briefly discussed.

Optimal decay rates of the compressible Euler equations with time-dependent damping in $\mathbb R^n$: (I) under-damping case
This paper is concerned with the multi-dimensional compressible Euler equations with time-dependent damping of the form $-\frac{\mu}{(1+t)^\lambda}\rho\boldsymbol u$ in $\mathbb R^n$, where $n\ge2$, $\mu>0$, and $\lambda\in[0,1)$. When $\lambda>0$ is bigger, the damping effect time-asymptotically gets weaker, which is called under-damping. We show the optimal decay estimates of the solutions such that $\|\partial_x^\alpha (\rho-1)\|_{L^2(\mathbb R^n)}\approx (1+t)^{-\frac{1+\lambda}{2}(\frac{n}{2}+|\alpha|)}$, and $\|\partial_x^\alpha \boldsymbol u\|_{L^2(\mathbb R^n)}\approx (1+t)^{-\frac{1+\lambda}{2}(\frac{n}{2}+|\alpha|)-\frac{1-\lambda}{2}}$, and see how the under-damping effect influences the structure of the Euler system. Different from the traditional view that the stronger damping usually makes the solutions decaying faster, here surprisingly we recognize that the weaker damping with $0\le\lambda<1$ enhances the faster decay for the solutions. The adopted approach is the technical Fourier analysis and the Green function method. The main difficulties caused by the time-dependent damping lie in twofold: non-commutativity of the Fourier transform of the linearized operator precludes explicit expression of the fundamental solution; time-dependent evolution implies that the Green matrix $G(t,s)$ is not translation invariant, i.e., $G(t,s)\ne G(t-s,0)$. We formulate the exact decay behavior of the Green matrices $G(t,s)$ with respect to $t$ and $s$ for both linear wave equations and linear hyperbolic system, and finally derive the optimal decay rates for the nonlinear Euler system.

Anti-parity-time symmetry hidden in a damping linear resonator
Phase transition from the over-damping to under-damping states is a ubiquitous phenomenon in physical systems. However, what kind of symmetry is broken associated with this phase transition remains unclear. Here, we discover that this phase transition is determined by an anti-parity-time (anti-$\mathcal{PT}$) symmetry hidden in a single damping linear resonator, which is significantly different from the conventional anti-$\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric systems with two or more modes. We show that the breaking of the anti-$\mathcal{PT}$ symmetry yields the phase transition from the over-damping to under-damping states, with an exceptional point (EP) corresponding to the critical-damping state. Moreover, we propose an optomechanical scheme to show this anti-$\mathcal{PT}$ symmetry breaking by using the optical spring effect in a quadratic optomechanical system. We also suggest an optomechanical sensor with the sensitivity enhanced significantly around the EPs for the anti-$\mathcal{PT}$ symmetry breaking. Our work unveils the anti-$\mathcal{PT}$ symmetry hidden in damping oscillations and hence opens up new possibilities for exploiting wide anti-$\mathcal{PT}$ symmetry applications in single damping linear resonators.

An effective relaxation-time approach to collisionless quark-gluon plasma
We present an effective relaxation-time theory to study the collisionless quark-gluon plasma. Applying this method we calculate the damping rate to be of order $g^2T$ and find plasmon scattering is the damping mechanism. The damping for the transverse mode is stronger than the longitudinal one.

Dynamical resummation and damping in the O(N) model
A general real-time formalism is developed to resum the self-energy operator of broken symmetry scalar field theories in form of self-consistent gap equations for the spectral function. The solution of the equations is approximated with finite lifetime quasi-particles. In the Landau damping rates viscosity terms, analogous to gauge theories, appear, what leads to a finite damping rate for the long wavelength Goldstone modes.

On the Quantizations of the Damped Systems
Based on a simple observation that a classical second order differential equation may be decomposed into a set of two first order equations, we introduce a Hamiltonian framework to quantize the damped systems. In particular, we analyze the system of a linear damped harmonic oscillator and demonstrate that the time evolution of the Schr\"odinger equation is unambiguously determined.

Resonant states and classical damping
Using Koopman's approach to classical dynamical systems we show that the classical damping may be interpreted as appearance of resonant states of the corresponding Koopman's operator. It turns out that simple classical damped systems give rise to discrete complex spectra. Therefore, the corresponding generalized eigenvectors may be interpreted as classical resonant states.

Toward a Universal Model of Damping--Modified Coulomb Friction
A modification of Coulomb's law of friction uses a variable coefficient of friction that depends on a power law in the energy of mechanical oscillation. Through the use of three different exponents: 0, 1/2 and 1; all commonly encountered non-viscous forms of damping are accommodated. The nonlinear model appears to yield good agreement with experiment in cases of surface, internal, and amplitude dependent damping.

Trapped particle bounds on stimulated scatter in the large k/kD regime
In the strongly damped regime, the convective gain rate for stimulated scatter varies inversely with the plasma wave damping rate. Electron trapping effects reduce the damping but also lead to loss of resonance for large enough amplitude waves. This leads to a gain rate bound and corresponding optimum scattered light frequency and plasma wave amplitude.

Oscillator damping with more than one mechanism of internal friction dissipation
The author's modified Coulomb damping model has been generalized to accommodate internal friction that derives from several dissipation mechanisms acting simultaneously. Because of its fundamental nonlinear nature, internal friction damping causes the quality factor Q of an oscillator in free-decay to change in time. Examples are given which demonstrate reasonable agreement between theory and experiment.

Anisotropic Internal Friction Damping
The mechanical damping properties of sheet polaroid material have been studied with a physical pendulum. The polaroid samples were placed under the knife-edges of the pendulum, which was operated in free-decay at a period in the vicinity of 10 s. With the edges oriented parallel to the direction of the long molecular chains in the polaroid, it was found that the damping was more than 10% smaller than when oriented perpendicular to the chains.

Experiments on the oscillatory motion of a suspended bar magnet throws light on the damping effects acting on the pendulum. The viscous drag offered by air was found the be the main contributor for slowing the pendulum down.

Enhanced damping of ion acoustic waves in dense plasmas
A theory for the ion acoustic wave damping in dense plasmas and warm dense matter, accounting for the Umklapp process, is presented. A higher decay rate compared to the prediction from the Landau damping theory is predicted for high-Z dense plasmas where the electron density ranges from $10^{21}$ to $ 10^{24} \mathrm{cm^{-3}}$ and the electron temperature is moderately higher than the Fermi energy.

The key feature of the improved coupling design in the Damped Detuned Structure (DDS) is focused on the four manifolds. Rectangular geometry slots and rectangular manifolds are used. This results in a significantly stronger coupling to the manifolds compared to the previous design. We describe the new design together with its wakefield damping properties.

Landau damping in Sobolev spaces for the Vlasov-HMF model
We consider the Vlasov-HMF (Hamiltonian Mean-Field) model. We consider solutions starting in a small Sobolev neighborhood of a spatially homogeneous state satisfying a linearized stability criterion (Penrose criterion). We prove that these solutions exhibit a scattering behavior to a modified state, which implies a nonlinear Landau damping effect with polynomial rate of damping.

We study the behavior of the solution of a generalized damped KdV equation $u_t + u_x + u_{xxx} + u^p u_x + \mathscr{L}_{\gamma}(u)= 0$. We first state results on the local well-posedness. Then when $p \geq 4$, conditions on $\mathscr{L}_{\gamma}$ are given to prevent the blow-up of the solution. Finally, we numerically build such sequences of damping.

A Proposal of a Damping Term for the Relativistic Euler Equations
We introduce a damping term for the special relativistic Euler equations in $3$-D and show that the equations reduce to the non-relativistic damped Euler equations in the Newtonian limit. We then write the equations as a symmetric hyperbolic system for which local-in-time existence of smooth solutions can be shown.

We prove exponential decay of energy for solutions of the damped wave equation on compact hyperbolic surfaces with regular initial data as long as the damping is nontrivial. The proof is based on a similar strategy as in Dyatlov-Jin and in particular, uses the fractal uncertainty principle proved in Bourgain-Dyatlov.

Logarithmic Decay of a Wave Equation with Kelvin-Voigt Damping
In this paper we analyze the long time behavior of a wave equation with local Kelvin-Voigt Damping. Through introducing proper class symbol and pseudo-differential calculus, we obtain a Carleman estimate, and then establish an estimate on the corresponding resolvent operator. As a result, we show the logarithmic decay rate for energy of the system without any geometric assumption on the subdomain on which the damping is effective.

Damping rate limitations for transverse dampers in large hadron colliders
The paper focuses on two issues important for design and operation of bunch-by-bunch transverse damper in a very large hadron collider, where fast damping is required to suppress beam instabilities and noise induced emittance growth. The first issue is associated with kick variation along a bunch which affects the damping of head-tail modes. The second issue is associated with affect of damper noise on the instability threshold.

Global existence for semilinear wave equations with scaling invariant damping in 3-D
Global existence for small data Cauchy problem of semilinear wave equations with scaling invariant damping in 3-D is established in this work, assuming that the data are radial and the constant in front of the damping belongs to $[1.5, 2)$. The proof is based on a weighted $L^2-L^2$ estimate for inhomogeneous wave equation, which is established by interpolating between energy estimate and Morawetz type estimate.

Demand profiles at the network sinks are modelled by a stochastic differential equations. An explicit optimal inflow into the network is determined and numerical simulations are presented to show the effects for different choices of the non-linear damping.

An adaptive damped Newton method for strongly monotone and Lipschitz continuous operator equations
We will consider the damped Newton method for strongly monotone and Lipschitz continuous operator equations in a variational setting. We will provide a very accessible justification why the undamped Newton method performs better than its damped counterparts in a vicinity of a solution. Moreover, in the given setting, an adaptive step-size strategy will be presented, which guarantees the global convergence and favours an undamped update if admissible.

Direct detection of metal-insulator phase transitions using the modified Backus-Gilbert method
The detection of the (semi)metal-insulator phase transition can be extremely difficult if the local order parameter which characterizes the ordered phase is unknown.In some cases, it is even impossible to define a local order parameter: the most prominent example of such system is the spin liquid state. This state was proposed to exist in theHubbard model on the hexagonal lattice in a region between the semimetal phase and the antiferromagnetic insulator phase. The existence of this phase has been the subject of a long debate. In order to detect these exotic phases we must use alternative methods to those used for more familiar examples of spontaneous symmetry breaking. We have modified the Backus-Gilbert method of analytic continuation which was previously used in the calculation of the pion quasiparticle mass in lattice QCD. The modification of the method consists of the introduction of the Tikhonov regularization scheme which was used to treat the ill-conditioned kernel. This modified Backus-Gilbert method is applied to the Euclidean propagators in momentum space calculated using the hybridMonte Carlo algorithm. In this way, it is possible to reconstruct the full dispersion relation and to estimate the mass gap, which is a direct signal of the transition to the insulating state. We demonstrate the utility of this method in our calculations for the Hubbard model on the hexagonal lattice. We also apply the method to the metal-insulator phase transition in the Hubbard-Coulomb model on the square lattice.

Bounding the spectral gap for an elliptic eigenvalue problem with uniformly bounded stochastic coefficients
A key quantity that occurs in the error analysis of several numerical methods for eigenvalue problems is the distance between the eigenvalue of interest and the next nearest eigenvalue. When we are interested in the smallest or fundamental eigenvalue, we call this the spectral or fundamental gap. In a recent manuscript [Gilbert et al., arXiv:1808.02639], the current authors, together with Frances Kuo, studied an elliptic eigenvalue problem with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions, and with coefficients that depend on an infinite number of uniformly distributed stochastic parameters. In this setting, the eigenvalues, and in turn the eigenvalue gap, also depend on the stochastic parameters. Hence, for a robust error analysis one needs to be able to bound the gap over all possible realisations of the parameters, and because the gap depends on infinitely-many random parameters, this is not trivial. This short note presents, in a simplified setting, an important result that was shown in the paper above. Namely, that, under certain decay assumptions on the coefficient, the spectral gap of such a random elliptic eigenvalue problem can be bounded away from 0, uniformly over the entire infinite-dimensional parameter space.

Bounds and Code Constructions for Partially Defect Memory Cells
This paper considers coding for so-called partially stuck memory cells. Such memory cells can only store partial information as some of their levels cannot be used due to, e.g., wear out. First, we present a new code construction for masking such partially stuck cells while additionally correcting errors. This construction (for cells with $q >2$ levels) is achieved by generalizing an existing masking-only construction in [1] (based on binary codes) to correct errors as well. Compared to previous constructions in [2], our new construction achieves larger rates for many sets of parameters. Second, we derive a sphere-packing (any number of $u$ partially stuck cells) and a Gilbert-Varshamov bound ($u<q$ partially stuck cells) for codes that can mask a certain number of partially stuck cells and correct errors additionally. A numerical comparison between the new bounds and our previous construction of PSMCs for the case $u<q$ in [2] shows that our construction lies above the Gilbert-Varshamov-like bound for several code parameters.

Multilevel quasi-Monte Carlo for random elliptic eigenvalue problems I: Regularity and error analysis
Stochastic PDE eigenvalue problems are useful models for quantifying the uncertainty in several applications from the physical sciences and engineering, e.g., structural vibration analysis, the criticality of a nuclear reactor or photonic crystal structures. In this paper we present a multilevel quasi-Monte Carlo (MLQMC) method for approximating the expectation of the minimal eigenvalue of an elliptic eigenvalue problem with coefficients that are given as a series expansion of countably-many stochastic parameters. The MLQMC algorithm is based on a hierarchy of discretisations of the spatial domain and truncations of the dimension of the stochastic parameter domain. To approximate the expectations, randomly shifted lattice rules are employed. This paper is primarily dedicated to giving a rigorous analysis of the error of this algorithm. A key step in the error analysis requires bounds on the mixed derivatives of the eigenfunction with respect to both the stochastic and spatial variables simultaneously. Under stronger smoothness assumptions on the parametric dependence, our analysis also extends to multilevel higher-order quasi-Monte Carlo rules. An accompanying paper [Gilbert and Scheichl, 2022], focusses on practical extensions of the MLQMC algorithm to improve efficiency, and presents numerical results.

Multilevel quasi-Monte Carlo for random elliptic eigenvalue problems II: Efficient algorithms and numerical results
Stochastic PDE eigenvalue problems often arise in the field of uncertainty quantification, whereby one seeks to quantify the uncertainty in an eigenvalue, or its eigenfunction. In this paper we present an efficient multilevel quasi-Monte Carlo (MLQMC) algorithm for computing the expectation of the smallest eigenvalue of an elliptic eigenvalue problem with stochastic coefficients. Each sample evaluation requires the solution of a PDE eigenvalue problem, and so tackling this problem in practice is notoriously computationally difficult. We speed up the approximation of this expectation in four ways: we use a multilevel variance reduction scheme to spread the work over a hierarchy of FE meshes and truncation dimensions; we use QMC methods to efficiently compute the expectations on each level; we exploit the smoothness in parameter space and reuse the eigenvector from a nearby QMC point to reduce the number of iterations of the eigensolver; and we utilise a two-grid discretisation scheme to obtain the eigenvalue on the fine mesh with a single linear solve. The full error analysis of a basic MLQMC algorithm is given in the companion paper [Gilbert and Scheichl, 2022], and so in this paper we focus on how to further improve the efficiency and provide theoretical justification for using nearby QMC points and two-grid methods. Numerical results are presented that show the efficiency of our algorithm, and also show that the four strategies we employ are complementary.

Mechanisms of spin-polarized current-driven magnetization switching
The mechanisms of the magnetization switching of magnetic multilayers driven by a current are studied by including exchange interaction between local moments and spin accumulation of conduction electrons. It is found that this exchange interaction leads to two additional terms in the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation: an effective field and a spin torque. Both terms are proportional to the transverse spin accumulation and have comparable magnitudes.

Domain instability during precessional magnetization reversal
Spin wave equations in the non-equilibrium precessing state of a ferromagnetic system are found. They show a spin-wave instability towards growing domains of stable magnetization. Precession of the uniform magnetization mode is described by the Landau Lifshitz equation with the exponentially growing in time effective Gilbert dissipation constant that could have both signs. On the developed stages of the domain instability a non-stationary picture of domain chaos is observed.

Perturbations of a Stringy Black Hole
We extend the three dimensional stringy black hole of Horne and Horowitz to four dimensions. After a brief discussion of the global properties of the metric, we discuss the stability of the background with respect to small perturbations, following the methods of Gilbert and of Chandrasekhar. The potential for axial perturbations is found to be positive definite.

Finitely presented subgroups of automatic groups and their isoperimetric functions
We describe a general technique for embedding certain amalgamated products into direct products. This technique provides us with a way of constructing a host of finitely presented subgroups of automatic groups which are not even asynchronously automatic. We can also arrange that such subgroups satisfy, at best, an exponential isoperimetric inequality.

Constructing Hyperbolic Manifolds

Error Correction in Quantum Communication
We show how procedures which can correct phase and amplitude errors can be directly applied to correct errors due to quantum entanglement. We specify general criteria for quantum error correction, introduce quantum versions of the Hamming and the Gilbert-Varshamov bounds and comment on the practical implementation of quantum codes.

Log-periodic drift oscillations in self-similar billiards
We study a particle moving at unit speed in a self-similar Lorentz billiard channel; the latter consists of an infinite sequence of cells which are identical in shape but growing exponentially in size, from left to right. We present numerical computation of the drift term in this system and establish the logarithmic periodicity of the corrections to the average drift.

Asymptotic Bound on Binary Self-Orthogonal Codes
We present two constructions for binary self-orthogonal codes. It turns out that our constructions yield a constructive bound on binary self-orthogonal codes. In particular, when the information rate R=1/2, by our constructive lower bound, the relative minimum distance \delta\approx 0.0595 (for GV bound, \delta\approx 0.110). Moreover, we have proved that the binary self-orthogonal codes asymptotically achieve the Gilbert-Varshamov bound.

Scott and Swarup's regular neighbourhood as a tree of cylinders
Let G be a finitely presented group. Scott and Swarup have constructed a canonical splitting of G which encloses all almost invariant sets over virtually polycyclic subgroups of a given length. We give an alternative construction of this regular neighbourhood, by showing that it is the tree of cylinders of a JSJ splitting.

Self-organized quantum transitions in a spin-electron coupled system
We investigate quantum dynamics of the excited electronic states in the double-exchange model at half-filling by solving coupled equations for the quantum evolution of electrons and Landau-Lifshits-Gilbert equation for classical spins. The non-adiabatic quantum transitions driving the relaxation are coordinated through the self-organized space-time structure of the electron/spin dynamics leading to a resonant precession analogous to the ESR process.

Oscillating Ponomarenko dynamo in the highly conducting limit
This paper considers dynamo action in smooth helical flows in cylindrical geometry, otherwise known as Ponomarenko dynamos, with periodic time dependence. An asymptotic framework is developed that gives growth rates and frequencies in the highly conducting limit of large magnetic Reynolds number, when modes tend to be localized on resonant stream surfaces. This theory is validated by means of numerical simulations.

Barnett Effect in Thin Magnetic Films and Nanostructures
The Barnett effect refers to the magnetization induced by rotation of a demagnetized ferromagnet. We describe the location and stability of stationary states in rotating nanostructures using the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation. The conditions for an experimental observation of the Barnett effect in different materials and sample geometries are discussed.

Factoring Permutation Matrices Into a Product of Tridiagonal Matrices
Gilbert Strang posited that a permutation matrix of bandwidth $w$ can be written as a product of $N < 2w$ permutation matrices of bandwidth 1. A proof employing a greedy ``parallel bubblesort'' algorithm on the rows of the permutation matrix is detailed and further points of interest are elaborated.

A new look at finitely generated metabelian groups
A group is metabelian if its commutator subgroup is abelian. For finitely generated metabelian groups, classical commutative algebra, algebraic geometry and geometric group theory, especially the latter two subjects, can be brought to bear on their study. The object of this paper is to describe some of the new ideas and open problems that arise.

A convergent and precise finite element scheme for Landau-Lifschitz-Gilbert equation

Residual properties of groups defined by basic commutators
In this paper we study the residual nilpotence of groups defined by basic commutators. We prove that the so-called Hydra groups as well as certain of their generalizations and quotients are, in the main, residually torsion-free nilpotent. By way of contrast we give an example of a group defined by two basic commutators which is not residually torsion-free nilpotent.

Anisimov's Theorem for inverse semigroups
The idempotent problem of a finitely generated inverse semigroup is the formal language of all words over the generators representing idempotent elements. This note proves that a finitely generated inverse semigroup with regular idempotent problem is necessarily finite. This answers a question of Gilbert and Noonan Heale, and establishes a generalisation to inverse semigroups of Anisimov's Theorem for groups.

The dimension of the leafwise reduced cohomology
Geometric conditions are given so that the leafwise reduced cohomology is of infinite dimension, specially for foliations with dense leaves on closed manifolds. The main new definition involved is the intersection number of subfoliations with "appropriate coefficients". The leafwise reduced cohomology is also described for homogeneous foliations with dense leaves on closed nilmanifolds.

A semi-discrete scheme for the stochastic Landau-Lifshitz equation
We propose a new convergent time semi-discrete scheme for the stochastic Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation. The scheme is only linearly implicit and does not require the resolution of a nonlinear problem at each time step. Using a martingale approach, we prove the convergence in law of the scheme up to a subsequence.

Manipulation of magnetic Skyrmions with a Scanning Tunneling Microscope
The dynamics of a single magnetic Skyrmion in an atomic spin system under the influence of Scanning Tunneling Microscope is investigated by computer simulations solving the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation. Two possible scenarios are described: manipulation with aid of a spin-polarized tunneling current and by an electric field created by the scanning tunneling microscope. The dynamics during the creation and annihilation process is studied and the possibility to move single Skyrmions is showed.

Quantile Reinforcement Learning
In reinforcement learning, the standard criterion to evaluate policies in a state is the expectation of (discounted) sum of rewards. However, this criterion may not always be suitable, we consider an alternative criterion based on the notion of quantiles. In the case of episodic reinforcement learning problems, we propose an algorithm based on stochastic approximation with two timescales. We evaluate our proposition on a simple model of the TV show, Who wants to be a millionaire.

Elementary equivalence vs commensurability for hyperbolic groups
We study to what extent torsion-free (Gromov)-hyperbolic groups are elementarily equivalent to their finite index subgroups. In particular, we prove that a hyperbolic limit group either is a free product of cyclic groups and surface groups, or admits infinitely many subgroups of finite index which are pairwise non elementarily equivalent.

Enhanced global signal of neutral hydrogen due to excess radiation at cosmic dawn
We revisit the global 21cm signal calculation incorporating a possible radio background at early times, and find that the global 21cm signal shows a much stronger absorption feature, which could enhance detection prospects for future 21 cm experiments. In light of recent reports of a possible low-frequency excess radio background, we propose that detailed 21 cm calculations should include a possible early radio background.

Variational approximation of functionals defined on $1$-dimensional connected sets in $\mathbb{R}^n$
In this paper we consider the Euclidean Steiner tree problem and, more generally, (single sink) Gilbert--Steiner problems as prototypical examples of variational problems involving 1-dimensional connected sets in $\mathbb{R}^n$. Following the the analysis for the planar case presented in [4], we provide a variational approximation through Ginzburg--Landau type energies proving a $\Gamma$-convergence result for $n \geq 3$.

Limiting Distributions of Sums with Random Spectral Weights
This paper studies the asymptotic properties of weighted sums of the form $Z_n=\sum_{i=1}^n a_i X_i$, in which $X_1, X_2, \ldots, X_n$ are i.i.d.~random variables and $a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_n$ correspond to either eigenvalues or singular values in the classic Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi-Gilbert model. In particular, we prove central limit-type theorems for the sequences $n^{-1}Z_n$ with varying conditions imposed on $X_1, X_2, \ldots, X_n$.

Regarding the latter, I describe a series of problems concerning associating high z damped Lya systems with present-day dwarfs.

Stochastic excitation and damping of solar-type oscillations
A review on acoustic mode damping and excitation in solar-type stars is presented. Current models for linear damping rates are discussed in the light of recent low-degree solar linewidth measurements with emphasis on the frequency-dependence of damping rates of low-order modes. Recent developments in stochastic excitation models are reviewed and tested against the latest high-quality data of solar-like oscillations, such as from alpha Cen A, and against results obtained from hydrodynamical simulations.
