Nonlinear Langevin dynamics via holography by Bidisha Chakrabarty, Joydeep Chakravarty, Soumyadeep Chaudhuri, Chandan Jana, R. Loganayagam, Akhil Sivakumar

“…We compute the Feynman-Vernon influence phase for the heavy quark by evaluating the Nambu-Goto action on a doubled string configuration. This configuration is the linearised solution of the string motion in the doubled black brane geometry which has been proposed as the holographic dual of a thermal Schwinger-Keldysh contour of the CFT. …”

Control Strategy of Islanded AC/DC Hybrid Microgrid Power System Based on Adaptive Segmented Double-Droop by MI Yang, GU Fuyike, LI Chunxu, BAO Wei, YAN Yuehao, LIU Xiaohui, YANG Yanan

“…Second，to plan the operating mode of the bidirectional AC/DC converter reasonably，the load states of the AC and DC subnets are divided. By setting the action threshold to avoid frequent starts and stops，an adaptive function is selected to add the stage II droop expression when the power difference exceeds the starting threshold by maintaining the conventional double-droop control in segment I. …”

Density of states, black holes and the Emergent String Conjecture by Alek Bedroya, Rashmish K. Mishra, Max Wiesner

“…Abstract We study universal features of the density of one-particle states ρ(E) in weakly coupled theories of gravity at energies above the quantum gravity cutoff Λ, defined as the scale suppressing higher-derivative corrections to the Einstein-Hilbert action. Using thermodynamic properties of black holes, we show that in asymptotically flat spacetimes, certain features of ρ(E) above the black hole threshold M min are an indicator for the existence of large extra dimensions, and cannot be reproduced by any lower-dimensional field theory with finitely many fields satisfying the weak energy condition. …”
