  1. 1. Gravitational Collapse of a Massless Scalar Field in a Theory of Minimally Modified Gravity

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Atabak Fathe Jalali; [2024]
    Keywords : Theoretical physics; astrophysics; modified gravity; minimally modified gravity; gravitational collapse; VCDM; scalar collapse; apparent horizon; numerical relativity; Teoretisk fysik; astrofysik; modifierad gravitation; minimalt modifierad gravitation; gravitationskollaps; VCDM; skalär kollaps; uppenbar horisont; numerisk relativitet;

    Abstract : This thesis explores the spherically symmetric gravitational collapse of a massless scalar field in a minimally modified gravity theory denoted VCDM (V replaces $\Lambda$ in the $\Lambda$CDM abbreviation), a class of theories propagating the same degrees of freedom as general relativity at the expense of broken 4D diffeomorphism invariance. Numerical evolution of the equations of motion reveals that for small initial scalar profile amplitudes, no black hole forms from the collapse. READ MORE

  3. 2. Portfolio Strategies Under Different Inflationary Regimes

    University essay from KTH/Matematik (Avd.)

    Author : Mohit Parkash; Diana Halladgi Naghadeh; [2023]
    Keywords : Inflation; Regression Analysis; Portfolio Optimization; Markowitz; Efficient Frontier; Asset Allocation; Portfolio Management; Financial Mathematics; Inflation; Regressionsanalys; Portföljoptimering; Markowitz; Effektiv Front; Tillgångsallokering; Portföljförvaltning; Finansiell Matematik;

    Abstract : In 2023, the topic of ongoing inflation is being discussed almost daily as it has become inevitable. The global economy is facing significant uncertainty and downward pressure as several leading developed nations adopted expansionary fiscal policies and quantitative easing monetary policies during the pandemic.

  4. 3. Molecular Insights into the Interactions of Monovalent Cations with Highly charged Fatty Acid Monolayers

    University essay from KTH/Kemi

    Author : Ran Carlhamn Rasmussen; [2023]
    Keywords : VSFS; Langmuir monolayer; ion specific effects; modified Poisson Boltzmann; carboxylic acid; VSFS; Langmuir monolager; jonspecifika effekter; modifierad Poisson Boltzmann; karboxylsyra;

    Abstract : Vibrational sum frequency spectroscopy har använts för att studera interaktionerna mellan monovalenta joner och laddade fettsyramonolager. Subfasen bestod av utvalda alkalihydroxidsaltlösningar med pH12, med huvudfokus på cesiumjonen. READ MORE

  5. 4. Method Development & Analysis of Seals using FEM

    University essay from KTH/Maskinkonstruktion

    Author : Lovisa Svanborg Östlin; [2023]
    Keywords : FEM; guidelines; hyperelastic materials; hyperelastic material models; method development; seals; FEM; riktlinjer; hyperelastiska material; hyperelastiska materialmodeller; metodutveckling; tätningar;

    Abstract : Hyperelasticity is a significant property of rubber, taken advantage of in engineering applications. A common application is the use of seals to prevent fluid transfer (liquid or gas) between solid regions. Volvo CE is often depending on external supplier when developing seals. READ MORE

  6. 5. AI Based Methods for Matrix Multiplication in High Resolution Simulations of Radio Access Networks

    University essay from KTH/Matematisk statistik

    Author : Marcus Johnson; Herman Forslund; [2023]
    Keywords : Product-Quantization; MADDNESS; Radio Access Networks; Channel Estimation; MIMO; Approximate Matrix Multiplication; Pruduktkvantisering; MADDNESS; RAN; MIMO; Approximativa matrismultiplikation;

    Abstract : The increasing demand for mobile data has placed significant strain on radio access networks (RANs), leading to a continuous need for increased network capacity. In keeping with that, a significant advancement in modern RANs is the ability to utilize several receivers and transmitters, to allow for beamforming. READ MORE
