Novel quantum oscillatory phenomena of Weyl and Dirac materials
More information Time 11:15 - 12:30Location Edna and K.B. Weissman Building of Physical SciencesLecturer James Analytis
BerkeleyOrganizer Faculty of PhysicsContact Abstract Show full text abstract about The discovery of topological insulators, Weyl and Dirac mate...» The discovery of topological insulators, Weyl and Dirac materials, has been arguably the most exciting development in condensed matter physics in decades. It has lead to a resurgence of interest in the role of topological quantum numbers in not only understanding but also classifying certain kinds of solids, akin to how symmetry has been used to classify properties of solids. Weyl and Dirac materials have been predicted to have extraordinary properties, particularly in their transport. In this talk I discuss some transport and magnetic signatures revealed in quantum oscillatory phenomena that may provide a pathway to identify and apply these exotic materials. -

Nonlinear coherences among multiple time-series:Use of MRI data to identify brain temporal organization and directionality of information flow

Human Biology Research Center, Dept of Nuclear Medicine, Hadassah Medical Center, JerusalemOrganizer Department of Brain SciencesContact Abstract Show full text abstract about Coherences and time-lags are commonly used to infer directio...» Coherences and time-lags are commonly used to infer directionality of information flow in electrophysiology EEG, MEG and MRI. Current approaches, however, enable to calculate only pairwise (linear) coherences. I will describe a novel high-order statistical framework to calculate coherences among multiple coupled time-series. The full mathematical expressions for 4 time-series will be described and its validity will be demonstrated by computer simulations of the Kuramoto model. Quartets of time-series (i.e. brain regions) will be defined as linear, nonlinear or of higher (>4) order. By this, whole systems (e.g. motor, visual) will be categorized as linear or nonlinear. Based on the assumption that MRI phase delays are associated with time of information flow, the temporal hierarchy and directionality of several brain systems will be described. To fully categorize the information flow within 4th order networks, I will introduce the concept of Motifs that describes the pathway trajectories within networks. The advantages of motifs in brain research will be demonstrated by comparing motifs of the ventral versus the dorsal streams systems and in males versus females.

Mass Transfer in Binaries:Planets Around Stars and Stars Around Supermassive Black Holes
More information Time 11:15 - 12:30Location Edna and K.B. Weissman Building of Physical SciencesLecturer Reem Sari
HUJIOrganizer Faculty of PhysicsContact Abstract Show full text abstract about Mass transfer between members of a binary is a common and we...» Mass transfer between members of a binary is a common and well studies situation. As members of a binary become closer to each other, mass may leak from one object due to the strong tidal forces from the other. Usually, the leaking mass flows towards the companion, but we show that for main sequence stars that orbit the supermassive black hole in the galactic center and emit gravitational waves mass may also leak away from it. We show that the mass transfer affects the evolution of the gravitational wave emission in a way that reflects internal properties of the star. This may be relevant to observations of the planned LISA mission. On another front, tides may lead to orbital decay of planets which are close enough to their stars. Mass transfer will occur and we discuss its observational consequences in view of data from the Kepler mission. -
