  1. 1. Adaptive random walks on graphs to sample rare events

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Fysikum

    Author : David Christoph Stuhrmann; [2023]
    Keywords : statistical physics; graphs; random walks; large deviation theory; adaptive power method; dynamical phase transition;

    Abstract : In this thesis, I study fluctuations and rare events of time-additive observables of discrete-time Markov chains on finite state spaces. The observable of interest is the mean node connectivity visited by a random walk running on instances of an Erdős-Rényi (ER) random graph. READ MORE

  3. 2. Civil war and third-party non-combatants : Understanding the logic of violence against humanitarian aid workers in the setting of intrastate conflict

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för freds- och konfliktforskning

    Author : Malika Rakhmankulova; [2022]
    Keywords : conflict; aid workers;

    Abstract : Attacks against humanitarian aid workers are a concerning global trend that has been noted since the end of the Cold War. Despite this, limited research is available that combines overt theoretical testing with empirical procedures. READ MORE

  4. 3. Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) and Bayesian Inference for Gravitational Waves

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : Christine Andersson; [2021]
    Keywords : Gravitational Waves; LISA; LISA mission; Bayesian Inference; Markov Chain Monte Carlo; MCMC; Bayes’ Theorem; stochastic sampling; Metropolis Hastings; histograms; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) is a space borne gravitational wave detec- tor set to launch in 2034, with the objective of detecting and studying the Gravitational Waves (GWs) of our universe. So far, ground-based detectors such as the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) have been successful in detecting GWs, but the limitations of ground based detectors is what makes LISA so special.

  5. 4. Reduced Loewner Energies

    University essay from KTH/Matematik (Avd.)

    Author : Ellen Krusell; [2021]
    Keywords : Loewner Energy; Schramm-Loewner Evolution;

    Abstract : In 1999 Schramm introduced the one-parameter family of random planar chords known as Schramm-Loewner evolution (SLE(kappa)). More recently,Wang defined a functional on (deterministic) planar chords and loops called Loewner energy. The Loewner energy is the rate function of a large deviation principle on SLE(kappa) as kappa tends to 0. READ MORE

  6. 5. A European CSR study about the deviation of valuation

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Företagsekonomi

    Author : Pontus Persson; Tatiana Dykina; [2021]
    Keywords : “ESG”; “sustainability”; “CSR”; “Market value”; “intrinsic value”; “Beta”; “CAPM”; “Cost of Equity”; “residual earning”;

    Abstract : For the last decades, public authorities and private firms have emphasized their focus on integrating sustainability into corporate disclosure. The shift towards CSR instead of the traditional profit maximization narratives is evident in increased demand among various stakeholders for sustainability awareness. READ MORE
