We first present an existence result for infinite-volume marked Gibbs point processes. More precisely, we use the so-called entropy method (and large-deviation tools) to construct marked Gibbs point processes in R^d under quite general assumptions. In particular, the random marks belong to a general normed space S and are not bounded. Moreover, we allow for interaction functionals that may be unbounded and whose range is finite but random. The entropy method relies on showing that a family of finite-volume Gibbs point processes belongs to sequentially compact entropy level sets, and is therefore tight. We then present infinite-dimensional Langevin diffusions, that we put in interaction via a Gibbsian description. In this setting, we are able to adapt the general result above to show the existence of the associated infinite-volume measure. We also study its correlation functions via cluster expansion techniques, and obtain the uniqueness of the Gibbs process for all inverse temperatures β and activities z below a certain threshold. This method relies in first showing that the correlation functions of the process satisfy a so-called Ruelle bound, and then using it to solve a fixed point problem in an appropriate Banach space. The uniqueness domain we obtain consists then of the model parameters z and β for which such a problem has exactly one solution. Finally, we explore further the question of uniqueness of infinite-volume Gibbs point processes on R^d, in the unmarked setting. We present, in the context of repulsive interactions with a hard-core component, a novel approach to uniqueness by applying the discrete Dobrushin criterion to the continuum framework. We first fix a discretisation parameter a>0 and then study the behaviour of the uniqueness domain as a goes to 0. With this technique we are able to obtain explicit thresholds for the parameters z and β, which we then compare to existing results coming from the different methods of cluster expansion and disagreement percolation.

Unraveling such transitions yields essential information for the understanding of the observed system's intrinsic evolution and potential external influences. A precise detection of multiple changes is therefore of great importance for various research disciplines, such as environmental sciences, bioinformatics and economics. The primary purpose of the detection approach introduced in this thesis is the investigation of transitions underlying direct or indirect climate observations. In order to develop a diagnostic approach capable to capture such a variety of natural processes, the generic statistical features in terms of central tendency and dispersion are employed in the light of Bayesian inversion. In contrast to established Bayesian approaches to multiple changes, the generic approach proposed in this thesis is not formulated in the framework of specialized partition models of high dimensionality requiring prior specification, but as a robust kernel-based approach of low dimensionality employing least informative prior distributions. First of all, a local Bayesian inversion approach is developed to robustly infer on the location and the generic patterns of a single transition. The analysis of synthetic time series comprising changes of different observational evidence, data loss and outliers validates the performance, consistency and sensitivity of the inference algorithm. To systematically investigate time series for multiple changes, the Bayesian inversion is extended to a kernel-based inference approach. By introducing basic kernel measures, the weighted kernel inference results are composed into a proxy probability to a posterior distribution of multiple transitions. The detection approach is applied to environmental time series from the Nile river in Aswan and the weather station Tuscaloosa, Alabama comprising documented changes. The method's performance confirms the approach as a powerful diagnostic tool to decipher multiple changes underlying direct climate observations. Finally, the kernel-based Bayesian inference approach is used to investigate a set of complex terrigenous dust records interpreted as climate indicators of the African region of the Plio-Pleistocene period. A detailed inference unravels multiple transitions underlying the indirect climate observations, that are interpreted as conjoint changes. The identified conjoint changes coincide with established global climate events. In particular, the two-step transition associated to the establishment of the modern Walker-Circulation contributes to the current discussion about the influence of paleoclimate changes on the environmental conditions in tropical and subtropical Africa at around two million years ago.}, language = {en} } @misc{GoychukKharchenko2013, author = {Goychuk, Igor and Kharchenko, Vasyl O.}, title = {Rocking subdiffusive ratchets}, series = {Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena}, journal = {Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena}, number = {622}, issn = {1866-8372}, doi = {10.1051/mmnp/20138210}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-416138}, pages = {15}, year = {2013}, abstract = {We study origin, parameter optimization, and thermodynamic efficiency of isothermal rocking ratchets based on fractional subdiffusion within a generalized non-Markovian Langevin equation approach. A corresponding multi-dimensional Markovian embedding dynamics is realized using a set of auxiliary Brownian particles elastically coupled to the central Brownian particle (see video on the journal web site). We show that anomalous subdiffusive transport emerges due to an interplay of nonlinear response and viscoelastic effects for fractional Brownian motion in periodic potentials with broken space-inversion symmetry and driven by a time-periodic field. The anomalous transport becomes optimal for a subthreshold driving when the driving period matches a characteristic time scale of interwell transitions. It can also be optimized by varying temperature, amplitude of periodic potential and driving strength. The useful work done against a load shows a parabolic dependence on the load strength. It grows sublinearly with time and the corresponding thermodynamic efficiency decays algebraically in time because the energy supplied by the driving field scales with time linearly. However, it compares well with the efficiency of normal diffusion rocking ratchets on an appreciably long time scale.}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Oancea2021, author = {Oancea, Marius-Adrian}, title = {Spin Hall effects in general relativity}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-50229}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-502293}, school = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {vii, 123}, year = {2021}, abstract = {The propagation of test fields, such as electromagnetic, Dirac or linearized gravity, on a fixed spacetime manifold is often studied by using the geometrical optics approximation. In the limit of infinitely high frequencies, the geometrical optics approximation provides a conceptual transition between the test field and an effective point-particle description. The corresponding point-particles, or wave rays, coincide with the geodesics of the underlying spacetime. For most astrophysical applications of interest, such as the observation of celestial bodies, gravitational lensing, or the observation of cosmic rays, the geometrical optics approximation and the effective point-particle description represent a satisfactory theoretical model. However, the geometrical optics approximation gradually breaks down as test fields of finite frequency are considered. In this thesis, we consider the propagation of test fields on spacetime, beyond the leading-order geometrical optics approximation. By performing a covariant Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin analysis for test fields, we show how higher-order corrections to the geometrical optics approximation can be considered. The higher-order corrections are related to the dynamics of the spin internal degree of freedom of the considered test field. We obtain an effective point-particle description, which contains spin-dependent corrections to the geodesic motion obtained using geometrical optics. This represents a covariant generalization of the well-known spin Hall effect, usually encountered in condensed matter physics and in optics. Our analysis is applied to electromagnetic and massive Dirac test fields, but it can easily be extended to other fields, such as linearized gravity. In the electromagnetic case, we present several examples where the gravitational spin Hall effect of light plays an important role. These include the propagation of polarized light rays on black hole spacetimes and cosmological spacetimes, as well as polarization-dependent effects on the shape of black hole shadows. Furthermore, we show that our effective point-particle equations for polarized light rays reproduce well-known results, such as the spin Hall effect of light in an inhomogeneous medium, and the relativistic Hall effect of polarized electromagnetic wave packets encountered in Minkowski spacetime.}, language = {en} } @unpublished{ShlapunovTarkhanov2001, author = {Shlapunov, Alexander and Tarkhanov, Nikolai Nikolaevich}, title = {Duality by reproducing kernels}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-26095}, year = {2001}, abstract = {Let A be a determined or overdetermined elliptic differential operator on a smooth compact manifold X.

The initial data for Einstein's equations are a proper Riemannian metric h(αβ) and a second fundamental form K(αβ). A necessary condition for the reduced Einstein equation to satisfy the vacuum equations is that the initial data satisfy Einstein constraint equations. Hence the data (h(αβ),K(αβ)) cannot serve as initial data for the reduced Einstein equations. Previous results in the case of asymptotically flat spacetimes provide a solution to the constraint equations in one type of Sobolev spaces, while initial data for the evolution equations belong to a different type of Sobolev spaces. The goal of our work is to resolve this incompatibility and to show that under the harmonic gauge the vacuum Einstein equations are well-posed in one type of Sobolev spaces.}, language = {en} }
