The Sun is the source of the solar wind, a continuous stream of electrically charged particles and magnetic fields pervading the Solar system. Its interaction with the magnetic field of the Earth, in and around the region called the magnetosphere, controls the flow of matter and energy in near-Earth space. A fundamental understanding of the physical processes at play is crucial for the building of forecasting and warning systems, as the influence of the solar wind during space storms can harm life and technology in space and on the ground. These effects, collectively known as space weather, are one of the biggest albeit least understood natural threats to society. The research effort needed includes the development of observational methods as well as theories and models, to first describe and later predict the mechanisms and consequences of space weather. This doctoral thesis, comprising an introduction and four peer-reviewed articles, presents the hybrid-Vlasov model Vlasiator developed at the Finnish Meteorological Institute. Based on a detailed description of proton physics in space plasmas, Vlasiator allows to simulate both local contexts and the Earth's magnetosphere on global scales. This unprecedented capability is only accessible by harnessing the power of modern supercomputers. The aim of this work is threefold. The current version of Vlasiator is documented considering physical and computational aspects, the correctness of the simulations is demonstrated by comparing to analytical theories and spacecraft observations, and new scientific results gained with this model are presented.

Auringosta lähtevä aurinkotuuli on koko Aurinkokunnassa leviävä sähköisesti varautuneiden hiukkasten ja magneettikenttien jatkuva virta. Sen vuorovaikutus Maan magneettikentän kanssa, erityisesti magneettikehäksi kutsutun alueen lähellä ja sisällä, määrittelee aineen ja energian vuon Maan lähiavaruudessa. Perusteellinen ymmärrys siinä esiintyvistä fysikaalisista prosesseista on keskeistä ennustus- ja varoitusmenetelmien rakentamisessa, sillä aurinkotuulen vaikutus avaruusmyrskyjen aikana saattaa vahingoittaa elämää ja teknologiaa avaruudessa ja Maassa. Nämä avaruussäänä tunnetut ilmiöt ovat yksi suurimmista vaikkakin vähiten ymmärretyistä luonnon uhista yhteiskunnalle. Tarvitaan lisää tutkimusta havaintomenetelmien, teorioiden ja mallien kehittämiseen, jotta avaruussään mekanismeja ja seurauksia voidaan ymmärtää ja ennustaa. Tämä väitöskirja koostuu yhteenvedosta ja neljästä vertaisarvioidusta julkaisusta. Se esittelee Ilmatieteen laitoksella kehitetyn Vlasiator-nimisen hybridi-Vlasov mallin. Vlasiator perustuu täsmälliseen avaruusplasman protonien fysiikan kuvaukseen, ja sen avulla voi mallintaa sekä pienen mittakaavan ilmiötä että Maan koko magneettikehän suuressa mittakaavassa. Tämä ennennäkemätön mallinnusmenetelmä on mahdollista vain nykyaikaisten suurtietokoneiden laskentatehoa hyödyntäen. Tällä työllä on kolme tavoitetta. Vlasiatorin nykyinen versio on dokumentoitu fysikaalisesta ja laskennallisesta näkökulmasta,…

▼ Glassy systems are disordered systems characterized by extremely slow dynamics. Examples are supercooled liquids, whose dynamics slows down under cooling. The specific pattern of slowing down depends on the material considered. We poorly understand this dependence, in particular, which aspects of the microscopic structures control the dynamics and other macroscopic properties is unclear. Attacking this question is one of the two main aspects of this dissertation. We have introduced a new class of models of supercooled liquids, which captures the central aspects of the correspondence between structure and elasticity on the one hand, structure and thermodynamic and dynamic properties on the other. These models can also be resolved analytically, leading to theoretical insights into the question. Our results also shed new light on the temperature-dependence of the topology of covalent networks, in particular, on the rigidity transition that occurs when the valence is increased. Observations suggested the presence of a "rigidity window" where rigidity is barely satisfied and the system is near criticality. Our work rules out the predominant explanation for this phenomenon. Other questions appear in glassy systems at zero temperature, when the thermal activation time is infinitely long. In that situation, a glassy system can flow if an external driving force is imposed above some threshold. Near the threshold, the dynamics are critical. To describe the dynamics, one must understand how the system self-organizes into specific configurations. The first example we will consider is the erosion of a river bed. Grains or pebbles are pushed by a fluid and roll on a disordered landscape made by the static particles. Experiments support the existence of a threshold forcing, below which no erosion flux is observed. Near the threshold, the transient state takes very long and the flux converges very slowly toward its stationary value. In the field, this long transient state is called "armoring" and corresponds to the filling up of holes on the frozen landscape by moving particles. The dynamics near threshold are relevant for geophysical applications – river beds tend to spontaneously sit at the threshold where erosion stops, but are poorly understood. In this dissertation, we present a novel microscopic model to describe the erosion near threshold. This model makes new quantitative predictions for the erosion flux <i>vs</i> the applied forcing and predicts that the spatial reparation of the flux is highly non-trivial: it is power-law distributed in space with long-range correlation in the flux direction, but no correlations in the perpendicular directions. We introduce a mean-field model to capture analytically some of these properties. To study further the self-organization of driven glassy systems, we investigate, as our last example, the athermal dynamics of mean-field spin glasses. Like many of other glasses, such as electron glasses, random close packings, etc., the spin glass self-organizes…

▼ Stochastic processes are ubiquitous in the physical sciences and engineering. While often used to model imperfections and experimental uncertainties in the macroscopic world, stochastic processes can attain deeper physical significance when used to model the seemingly random and chaotic nature of the underlying microscopic world. Nowhere more prevalent is this notion than in the field of stochastic thermodynamics - a modern systematic framework used describe mesoscale systems in strongly fluctuating thermal environments which has revolutionized our understanding of, for example, molecular motors, DNA replication, far-from equilibrium systems, and the laws of macroscopic thermodynamics as they apply to the mesoscopic world. With progress, however, come further challenges and deeper questions, most notably in the thermodynamics of information processing and feedback control. Here it is becoming increasingly apparent that, due to divergences and subtleties of interpretation, the deterministic foundations of the stochastic processes themselves must be explored and understood. This thesis presents a survey of stochastic processes in physical systems, the deterministic origins of their emergence, and the subtleties associated with controlling them. First, we study time-dependent billiards in the quivering limit - a limit where a billiard system is indistinguishable from a stochastic system, and where the simplified stochastic system allows us to view issues associated with deterministic time-dependent billiards in a new light and address some long-standing problems. Then, we embark on an exploration of the deterministic microscopic Hamiltonian foundations of non-equilibrium thermodynamics, and we find that important results from mesoscopic stochastic thermodynamics have simple microscopic origins which would not be apparent without the benefit of both the micro and meso perspectives. Finally, we study the problem of stabilizing a stochastic Brownian particle with feedback control, and we find that in order to avoid paradoxes involving the first law of thermodynamics, we need a model for the fine details of the thermal driving noise. The underlying theme of this thesis is the argument that the deterministic microscopic perspective and stochastic mesoscopic perspective are both important and useful, and when used together, we can more deeply and satisfyingly understand the physics occurring over either scale.

Weigert have introduced a truncation scheme for the Balitsky hierarchy, arguing that this is the most general possible method for obtaining finite Nc approximate solutions to the JIMWLK equation, while ensuring that these solutions obey several key properties that are known to be true of any exact solution to JIMWLK [1]. To carry out this truncation, it becomes necessary to systematically construct an orthogonal basis for the space of color singlets with purely adjoint indices. The primary contribution of this dissertation is to construct a basis that makes significant strides towards this goal, using irreducible representations of the permutation group Sk and recently-developed Hermitian Young projection operators [2–4]. Our method directly produces the basis for these singlets, avoiding the need to construct a basis for all multiplets and project out the singlets, as is common in other approaches. In our basis, orthogonality holds both between elements associated with non-isomorphic and isomorphic representations, with the exception of representations that are identical (and not just isomorphic). In working through the robust mathematical framework that describes this construction, we show that failures of orthogonality are a direct result of these basis elements being associated with identical induced representations arising from derangements with differing cycle structure, which suggests a possible strategy for constructing a fully-orthogonal basis in future research. We also prove that this basis always consists of elements that are real or purely imaginary and show how to determine these properties at the level of representations using characters and Frobenius reciprocity. We then shift gears to prove a small number of analytic properties of the images of commonly-used Wilson line operators. Explicitly, we provide a proof that hasn’t existed in the literature previously that the image of the dipole operator in the complex plane is the hypocycloid with Nc-cusps and we prove that all Wilson line operators that appear in the amplitude matrix used in the JIMWLK evolution of two quark-antiquark pairs are bounded by the unit circle.

▼ Stochastic processes are ubiquitous in the physical sciences and engineering. While often used to model imperfections and experimental uncertainties in the macroscopic world, stochastic processes can attain deeper physical significance when used to model the seemingly random and chaotic nature of the underlying microscopic world. Nowhere more prevalent is this notion than in the field of stochastic thermodynamics - a modern systematic framework used describe mesoscale systems in strongly fluctuating thermal environments which has revolutionized our understanding of, for example, molecular motors, DNA replication, far-from equilibrium systems, and the laws of macroscopic thermodynamics as they apply to the mesoscopic world. With progress, however, come further challenges and deeper questions, most notably in the thermodynamics of information processing and feedback control. Here it is becoming increasingly apparent that, due to divergences and subtleties of interpretation, the deterministic foundations of the stochastic processes themselves must be explored and understood. This thesis presents a survey of stochastic processes in physical systems, the deterministic origins of their emergence, and the subtleties associated with controlling them. First, we study time-dependent billiards in the quivering limit - a limit where a billiard system is indistinguishable from a stochastic system, and where the simplified stochastic system allows us to view issues associated with deterministic time-dependent billiards in a new light and address some long-standing problems. Then, we embark on an exploration of the deterministic microscopic Hamiltonian foundations of non-equilibrium thermodynamics, and we find that important results from mesoscopic stochastic thermodynamics have simple microscopic origins which would not be apparent without the benefit of both the micro and meso perspectives. Finally, we study the problem of stabilizing a stochastic Brownian particle with feedback control, and we find that in order to avoid paradoxes involving the first law of thermodynamics, we need a model for the fine details of the thermal driving noise. The underlying theme of this thesis is the argument that the deterministic microscopic perspective and stochastic mesoscopic perspective are both important and useful, and when used together, we can more deeply and satisfyingly understand the physics occurring over either scale.

▼ In this dissertation we study two topics in Theoretical Cosmology: one more formal, the other more phenomenological. We work in the context of eternally inflating cosmologies. These arise in any fundamental theory that contains at least one stable or metastable de Sitter vacuum. Each topic is presented in a different chapter:Chapter 1 deals with the measure problem in eternal inflation. Global-local duality is the equivalence of seemingly different regulators in eternal inflation. For example, the light- cone time cutoff (a global measure, which regulates time) makes the same predictions as the causal patch (a local measure that cuts off space). We show that global-local duality is far more general. It rests on a redundancy inherent in any global cutoff: at late times, an attractor regime is reached, characterized by the unlimited exponential self-reproduction of a certain fundamental region of spacetime. An equivalent local cutoff can be obtained by restricting to this fundamental region. We derive local duals to several global cutoffs of interest. The New Scale Factor Cutoff is dual to the Short Fat Geodesic, a geodesic of fixed infinitesimal proper width. Vilenkin’s CAH Cutoff is equivalent to the Hubbletube, whose width is proportional to the local Hubble volume. The famous youngness problem of the Proper Time Cutoff can be readily understood by considering its local dual, the Incredible Shrinking Geodesic. The chapter closely follows our paper [1].Chapter 2 deals with the question of whether neutrino masses could be anthropically explained. The sum of active neutrino masses is well constrained, 58 meV ≤ mν 0.23 eV, but the origin of this scale is not well understood. Here we investigate the possibility that it arises by environmental selection in a large landscape of vacua. Earlier work had noted the detrimental effects of neutrinos on large scale structure. However, using Boltzmann codes to compute the smoothed density contrast on Mpc scales, we find that dark matter halos form abundantly for mν 10eV. This finding rules out an anthropic origin of mν, unless a different catastrophic boundary can be identified. Here we argue that galaxy formation becomes inefficient for mν 10 eV. We show that in this regime, structure forms late and is dominated by cluster scales, as in a top-down scenario. This is catastrophic: baryonic gas will cool too slowly to form stars in an abundance comparable to our universe. With this novel cooling boundary, we find that the anthropic prediction for mν agrees at better than 2σ with current observational bounds. A degenerate hierarchy is mildly preferred. The chapter closely follows our paper [2] .

▼ For many years the consistency of the Standard Model(SM) of particle physics has been unflinching. The structure and content of the Standard Model has remained whole in the face of shockingly many experimental tests. Predicting the existence of new particles and yielding incredibly accurate calculations of fundamental measurements have been the hallmark of the Standard Model. Currently, experimentalists are testing several Standard Model quantities to such precision that 5th order terms are needed in theoretical calculations to match this precision. Never-the-less, the predictions of the Standard Model have kept pace with experiment and have yet to be contradicted. Unfortunately, this incredible stretch of experimental validation comes at a cost. Several very large problems still are without solutions and finding them in the particle content of the Standard Model alone is unlikely. The huge range of scales seen in nature, a dark matter candidate, and the cosmic baryon asymmetry still loom as major flaws in the Standard Model. In this manuscript we aim to increase the accuracy of several Standard Model predictions to push the experimental limits of the Standard Model. We start with a brief introduction to the Standard Model and its sector we will be mainly concerned with, namely QCD. In Chapter 2, we will consider the Standard Model as an effective field theory for a new physics model that resides at a mass scale much higher than the electro-weak scale. By interpreting the SM as an effective theory it allows us to extend the Standard Model Lagrangian with new, higher-dimensional operators that depend on the scale of new physics. We then calculate the next-to-leading order corrections to these operators in QCD and combine these calculations with parton showers via the tt{POWHEG} method. In the final section of Chapter 2 we present a discussion of the bounds on the scale of new physics that can be drawn from comparing our results to Large-Hadron-Collider(LHC) searches. In the third chapter of this manuscript, we will briefly introduce the importance of W+charm events at the LHC followed by a discussion of NLO QCD calculations and heavy meson fragmentation resummation. Next, we give a general method for combining a fixed order, massive calculation with a massless calculation with large logarithms resummed. Numerical results of resummation and an implementation of the afore mention method are discussed followed by future outlook.

▼ Standard Quantum Mechanics, although successful in terms of calculating and predicting results, is inherently diffcult to understand and can suffer from misinterpretation. Entropic Dynamics is an epistemic approach to quantum mechanics based on logical inference. It incorporates the probabilities that naturally arise in situations in which there is missing information. It is the author's opinion that an advantage of this approach is that it provides a clearer mental image with which to picture quantum mechanics. This may provide an alternate means of presenting quantum mechanics to students. After a theory is presented to students, an instructor will then work through the paradigmatic examples that demonstrate the theory. In this thesis, we will be applying Entropic Dynamics to some of those paradigmatic examples. We begin by reviewing probability theory and Bayesian statistics as tools necessary for the development of Entropic Dynamics. We then review the topic of entropy, building from an early thermodynamic interpretation to the informational interpretation used here. The development of Entropic Dynamics involves describing a particle in terms of a probability density, and then following the time evolution of the probability density based on diffusion-like motion and the maximization of entropy. At this point, the review portion of the thesis is complete. We then move on to applying Entropic Dynamics to several of the paradigmatic examples used to explain quantum mechanics. The rst of these is wave packet expansion. The second is interference, which is the basis behind many of the important phenomena in quantum mechanics. The third is the double slit experiment, which provides some interesting insight into the subject of interference. In particular, we look at the way in which minima can occur without a mechanism for destructive interference, since probabilities only add. The idea of probability flow is very apparent at this point in the discussion. The next example is that of the harmonic oscillator. This leads to an interesting insight concerning rotation and angular momentum as it corresponds to the flow of probability. The last example explored is that of entanglement. The discussion begins with a review of EPR, but then comes to the interesting conclusion that many of the problems inherent in the traditional approach to entanglement do not exist in Entropic Dynamics. The last topic covered in this thesis consists of some remarks concerning the state of education research as it pertains to quantum mechanics and the ways in which Entropic Dynamics might address them.

▼ We study a microscopic model, the Mirror-Oscillator-Field (MOF) model proposed in [1], for describing optomechanical interactions. In contrast with the conventional approach where the mirror-field interaction is understood as arising from the radiation pressure of an optical field inducing the motion of the mirror’s CoM, the MOF model incorporates the dynamics of the internal degrees of freedom of the mirror that couple to the optical field directly. Considering the mirror’s internal and mechanical degrees of freedom as two separate degrees of freedom we derive the optomechanical properties of the coupled mirror and field system. The major advantage in this approach is that it provides a self-consistent treatment of the three relevant subsystems (the mirror’s motion, its internal degrees of freedom and the field) including their back-actions on each other, thereby giving a more accurate account of the coupled internal and external dynamics. The optical and the mechanical properties of a mirror arising from its dynamical interaction with the field are obtained without imposing any boundary conditions on the field additionally, as is done in the conventional way. We find that our results agree with those from the boundary condition approach in the appropriate limits and more generally the model provides a framework within which one can study optomechanical elements with different internal structures and mechanical properties, which makes it suited for studying hybrid systems. Considering the quantum dynamics of the coupled subsystems we look at the entanglement between the mirror’s motion and the field, showing that the internal degrees of the mirror, in the appropriate parameter regimes, can act as a means to coherently transfer quantum correlations between the field and the mechanics thus leading to a larger optomechanical entanglement. We then use the MOF model to study the entanglement between the motion of an atom and a field for the setup in [95] and find a larger optomechanical entanglement when the field is closer to the internal resonance. We also study the interaction between two mirrors as described by the MOF model, specifically looking at the entanglement between the motion of their centers of mass. Conclusively, we see that including the dynamics of the internal degrees of freedom of a mirror, which is the quintessential mediator of interaction between the mirror center of mass and the field, leads to qualitatively different physics, specifically in the quantum regime, thus giving a physically more complete treatment of mirror-field interactions.

▼ The mystery of dark matter (DM) is undeniably one of the greatest in modern physics. For decades, evidence has accumulated from astrophysical and cosmological experiments suggesting that the Universe contains a large amount of mass yet unaccounted for. In particular, present research indicates that approximately 84% of the total matter content in the Universe is non-baryonic DM. Together with the well-known limitations of the Standard Model of particle physics (SM), some of which could be remedied by theories which necessarily include additional particles, a particle physics solution to the DM problem is certainly well motivated. In this thesis the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) phenomenology of three models of DM is studied. In particular, the focus is on signals due to final states containing hadronic jets in association with a large amount of missing transverse energy, corresponding to DM which escapes detection. For the first model, it is found that studying events with one jet in the final state can allow constraints to be derived on the size of the couplings between DM and SM particles, but it is not possible to extract any information about the structure of the couplings. This motivates an analysis of events which feature two jets. For the second model, it is found that measurements of the azimuthal angular separation of these jets lead to contrasting distributions depending on the Lorentz structure of the interactions. These spectra are shown to be stable under various corrections and, more importantly, are clearly produced whether or not one performs the calculation using an effective field theory framework. For the third model, which differs from the first two in that DM now couples to the SM gauge bosons rather than the quarks, recent experimental searches are used to derive bounds on the fiducial cross sections for a variety of final states featuring missing transverse energy. This facilitates a comparison to be made between the various search strategies, identifying which of these most strongly constrain the operators under consideration. Considering the final state containing two jets, the azimuthal angular distributions are then plotted and are again found to be strongly dependent on the Lorentz structure of the underlying interactions. Prospects for the 14 TeV LHC run are then studied and it is found that a clear distinction between the spectra should be possible once 300 fb^-1 has been collected.

▼ How can we ever make sense of what we observe? As a practical matter, most complex systems – that is, many-bodied systems with strongly interacting degrees of freedom – can only be observed through a time-series of relatively few functionals of their microstate. Nevertheless, because of the strong coupling, the many instantaneously-hidden degrees of freedom inject themselves over time into the observable time-series – giving us hope for inference. This dissertation delivers new broadly-applicable results regarding the generation, prediction, and physical implication of such stochastic time-series with hidden structure. After the development of the general mathematical theory, the remainder of the dissertation can be subdivided into three parts. The first part addresses the fundamental limits of generation and predictability of structured stochastic processes. The second part identifies the possible correlation in and diffraction patterns of chaotic crystals. The third part establishes new relationships that constrain and elucidate the fluctuations and thermodynamics of nonequilibrium systems. One of the predominant themes in this dissertation is the use of rather flexible mathematical structures called `hidden Markov models'. Indeed, much of this dissertation grew out of the recognition that – beyond their ability to simulate many sophisticated nonlinear and non-Markovian processes of interest – hidden Markov models enable an exact linear algebraic analysis of processes they represent. However, to proceed required the development of a generalized spectral theory for arbitrary functions of potentially nondiagonalizable operators, which is developed and utilized herein. Despite its long history, it appears (somewhat surprisingly) that not all of linear algebra had been worked out to the extent necessary to address the physics of complex systems. This extension of the more familiar spectral theory is of interest in its own right, and has created several new and rather independent directions of inquiry.
