  1. 1223. A Farewell to Symmetries: Quasilocal Frames in General Relativity
    Dr Paul McGrath

    Theoretical Physics / Physique théorique (DTP-DPT)
    Invited Speaker / Conférencier invité
    In this talk, I will give a brief introduction to rigid quasilocal frames (RQF) which have been proposed as a geometrically natural way to define spatially extended reference frames in general relativity. In particular, I will explore their usefulness as a tool for constructing completely general conservation laws that do not rely on the presence of spacetime symmetries and include both...

    We generalize the Moyal equation, which describes the dynamics of quantum observables in phase space, to quantum systems coupled to a reservoir. It is shown that phase space observables become functionals of fluctuating noise forces introduced by the coupling to the reservoir. For Markovian reservoirs, the Moyal equation turns into a functional differential equation in which the reservoir's...

  3. 1190. Citation Networks in Law: Detection of Hierarchy and Identification of Key Events
    Mr Joseph Hickey (University of Calgary)

    Theoretical Physics / Physique théorique (DTP-DPT)
    Oral (Student, In Competition) / Orale (Étudiant(e), inscrit à la compétition)
    Citation networks can be used to make powerful analyses about human intellectual activity in diverse fields. However, universal rules governing their structure and dynamics have not yet been discovered. To address this, my research probes the influence of social and institutional hierarchy on the structure and dynamics of citation networks. Hierarchy is a fundamental feature of all human...
