Real-world political rhetoric often links immigrants to crime. Donald Trump, for instance, repeatedly attributed rising crime rates to undocumented immigrants in his presidential campaign. The media also played an important role in reinforcing such stereotypes about immigrants. While immigrants, in fact, have lower crime rates than natives, many Americans wrongly believe the reverse. Given the widespread misperceptions about immigrant crime, prejudice against immigrants is substantial among the mass public. But if such prejudice is shaped by individual misperceptions about immigrants, would correcting these misinformed beliefs improve the public’s evaluation of immigrants and reduce its prejudice in turn? According to Goren’s (2022) “prejudice revision” hypothesis, factual corrections would work: prejudice against the minority group is “pliable” when racialized misinformation is widely shared among the public. Yet, another line of research suggests that factual corrections—especially those pertaining to policy outcomes (e.g., crime rates, welfare dependency)—rarely produce downstream attitudinal effects (Thorson and Abdelaaty 2022), especially in the immigration context (e.g., Grigorieff, Roth, and Ubfal 2020; Hopkins, Sides, and Citrin 2019). To adjudicate these competing views, our study investigates whether providing corrective information about immigrant crime can reduce Americans’ prejudice against immigrants and opposition to immigration.

In this paper we take the first step towards a complete next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic (NNLL) calculation of the inclusive decay rate for $B \to X_s\gamma$. We consider the virtual corrections of order $\alphas^2 n_f$ to the matrix elements of the operators ${O}_1$, ${O}_2$ and ${O}_8$ and evaluate the real and virtual contributions to ${O}_7$. These corrections are expected to be numerically important. We observe a strong cancelation between the contributions from the current-current operators and $O_7$ and obtain, after applying naive non-abelianization, a reduction of the branching ratio of 3.9% (for $\mu=3.0$ GeV) and an increase of 3.4% (for $\mu=9.6$ GeV).

We analyse the structure of relativistic corrections in the inclusive production of polarized $J/\Psi$ from b-quark decay. The analysis is performed not only for the production channel in which the $c\bar c$ pair is a color sinlet, but also for the channels in which the $c\bar c$ is a color octet. We find that the correction in the color-singlet channel at the tree-level is completely determined by the decay constant of $J/\Psi$, while in the color-octet channels the corrections are characterized by three matrix elements defined in NRQCD, whose numerical values are unknown. We discuss the impact of these corrections on the polarized $J/\Psi$% -production, and the impact is so significant that the predictions based on the analysis for the considered process may be unreliable. Finally, we propose an integrated spin observable to measure the polarization of $J/\Psi$%

The radiative corrections to the pure leptonic decay $D_s{\longrightarrow} {\ell}{{\nu}}_{\ell}$ up-to one-loop order is presented. We find the virtual photon loop corrections to $D_s{\longrightarrow} {\tau}{{\nu}}_{\tau}$ is negative and the corresponding branching ratio is larger than $3.51\times 10^{-3}$. Considering the possible experimental resolutions, our prediction of the radiative decay $D_s{\longrightarrow} {\tau}{{\nu}}_{\tau}\gamma$ is not so large as others, and the best channel to determine the $V_{cs}$ or $f_{D_s}$ is $D_s{\longrightarrow} {\mu}{{\nu}}_{\mu}{\gamma}$. How to cancel the infrared divergences appearing in the loop calculations, and the radiative decay $D_s{\longrightarrow} {\ell}{{\nu}}_{\ell}{\gamma}$ is shown precisely. It is emphasized that the radiative decay may be separated properly and may compare with measurements directly as long as the theoretical `softness' of the photon corresponds to the experimental resolutions.

We present an estimate of perturbative QCD corrections to the decay $Z \to Wu\bar d$. A simple approximate approach is described in detail. The difference of masses of $M_Z$ and $M_W$ is used as an expansion parameter. A complete analytical formula for a part of the corrections is also presented.

We consider the one-loop corrections to the SU(3) skyrmion mass within the bound state soliton approach. We show that the standard SU(3) renormalization scheme is not appropiate within this framework and propose to use an alternative one based on SU(2). For physical meson masses and decay constants the resulting Casimir correction turns out to be rather scale-independent and leads to an acceptable estimate of the nucleon mass.

We have calculated the next-to-leading order perturbative QCD corrections to the photon energy spectrum in radiative Upsilon decays. The higher-order corrections significantly modify the shape of the spectrum, in particular at large photon energies, and thereby reduce the discrepancy between experimental data and previous leading-order predictions. The next-to-leading order calculation of the photon energy spectrum allows a more reliable determination of the strong coupling constant from radiative Upsilon decays by restricting the analysis to the region of the energy spectrum that can be described by NLO perturbation theory.

We compute the complete supersymmetric QCD corrections to the Wilson coefficients of the magnetic and chromomagnetic operators, relevant in the calculation of b -> s gamma decays, in the MSSM with Minimal Flavor Violation. We investigate the numerical impact of the new results for different choices of the MSSM parameters and of the scale where the quark and squark mass matrices are assumed to be aligned. We find that the corrections can be important when the superpartners are relatively light, and that they depend sizeably on the scale of alignment. Finally, we discuss how our calculation can be employed when the scale of alignment is far from the weak scale.

The four-loop QCD corrections to the electroweak $\rho$-parameter arising from top and bottom quark loops are computed. Specifically we evaluate the missing ``non-singlet'' piece. Using algebraic methods the amplitude is reduced to a set of around 50 new master integrals which are calculated with various analytical and numerical methods. Inclusion of the newly completed term halves the final value of the four-loop correction for the minimally renormalized top-quark mass. The predictions for the shift of the weak mixing angle and the W-boson mass is thus stabilized.

Heavy quark symmetry relations for $B\rightarrow De\bar \nu_e$ and $B\rightarrow D^*e \bar \nu_e$ form factors receive corrections suppressed by powers of the charm quark mass. For small up and down quark massed the leading corrections of order $(1/m_c)^{n+2}~n = 0,1,2,...$ have a nonanalytic dependence on the light quark masses of the form $\ell n m_\pi^2$ for $n = 0$ and $(1/m_\pi)^n$ for $n = 1,2, ...$~. These corrections arise from very low momentum physics (i.e., well below the chiral symmetry breaking scale) and are computed using chiral perturbation theory. They are typically of order a few percent.

We present a numerical scheme for calculating the first quantum corrections to the properties of static solitons. The technique is applicable to solitons of arbitrary shape, and may be used in 3+1 dimensions for multiskyrmions or other complicated solitons. We report on a test computation in 1+1 dimensions, where we accurately reproduce the analytical result with minimal numerical effort.

In the framework of a recently proposed method for computing exactly string amplitudes regularized in the infra-red, I determine the one-loop correlators for auxiliary fields in the symmetric $Z_2\times Z_2$ orbifold model. The $D$-field correlation function turns out to give the one-loop corrections for the gauge couplings, which amounts to a string-theory supersymmetry Ward identity. The two-point function for uncharged $F$ fields leads to the one-loop renormalization of the moduli K\"ahler metric, and eventually to the corrections for the Yukawa couplings.

We discuss the complete virtual and soft-photonic O(alpha) corrections to AA -> W+W- within the electroweak Standard Model for arbitrary polarized photons. In the on-shell renormalization scheme for fixed M_W no leading corrections associated with the running of alpha or heavy top-quark and Higgs-boson masses occur. The corrections turn out to be of the order of 10%, but can become much larger where the lowest-order cross-sections are suppressed.

Starting from an asymptotically correct three-body Coulomb wave-function, we determine the effect of Coulomb final state interaction on the three-particle Bose-Einstein correlation function of similarly charged particles. We numerically estimate that the Riverside approximation is not precise enough to determine the three-body Coulomb correction factor in the correlation function, if the characteristic HBT radius parameter is 5 - 10 fm, which is the range of interest in high-energy heavy ion physics.

The nucleon mass corrections are calculated to all polarized structure functions for neutral and charged current deep inelastic scattering in lowest order in the coupling constant. The impact of the target mass corrections on the general relations between the twist--2 and twist--3 parts of the structure functions is studied and three new relations between the twist--3 contributions are derived. The size of nucleon mass corrections for the $g_1$ and $g_2$ structure functions are estimated.

We have compared polarized parton densities determined in the NLO QCD fits to polarized structure functions and spin asymmetries. We consider models of such distributions based on MRST 99 and MRST 2001 fits to non-polarized data. Simple power law corrections corresponding to higher twists are taken into account and their importance is analyzed. The role of positivity conditions for parton densities and their influence on the values of $\chi^{2}$ is discussed.

We present the next-to-next-to-leading order ($\alpha \alpha_s^2$) corrections to the first moment of the polarized virtual photon structure function $g_1^\gamma(x,Q^2,P^2)$ in the kinematical region $Q^2\gg P^2 \gg \Lambda^2$ in QCD. We find that the $\alpha \alpha_s^2$ corrections are about 3% of the sum of the leading ($\alpha$) and the next-to-leading ($\alpha\alpha_s$) contributions, when $Q^2=30\sim 100 {\rm GeV}^2$ and $P^2=3 {\rm GeV}^2$.

We study single spin asymmetries at one-loop accuracy in Drell-Yan processes in which one of the initial hadrons is transversely polarized. The spin-dependent part of differential cross-sections can be factorized with various hadronic matrix elements of twist-2 and twist-3 operators. These operators can be of even- and odd-chirality. In this work, the studied observables of asymmetries are differential cross-sections with different weights. These weights are selected so that the observables are spin-dependent and their virtual corrections are completely determined by quark form factor. In the calculations of one-loop corrections we meet collinear divergences in the contributions involving chirality-odd and chirality-even operators. We find that all of the divergences can be correctly subtracted. Therefore, our results give an explicit example of QCD factorization with twist-3 operators, especially, QCD factorization with chirality-odd twist-3 operators.

Hydrodynamics of gases in the classical domain are examined from the perspective that the gas has a well-defined wavefunction description at all times. Specifically, the internal energy and volume exclusion of decorrelated vortex structures are included so that quantum corrections and modifications to Navier-Stokes behavior can be derived. This leads to a small deviation in rigid body rotation for a cylindrically bound gas and the internal energy changes associated with vorticity give deviations in the Reynolds' transport theorem. Some macroscopic observable features arising from this include variations in the specific heat, an anisotropic correction to thermal conductivity and a variation in optical scattering as a function of the declination from the axis of local vorticity. The improvements in magneto-optical traps suggests some interesting experiments to be done in higher temperature regimes where they are not usually employed. It is argued that the finite lifetime of observed vortices in ultracold bosonic gases is only apparent and these volume excluding structures persist in generating angular momentum and pressure in the cloud in a non-imageable form.

We consider Next-to-Leading-Order QCD corrections to ADD graviton exchange relevant for Deep Inelastic Scattering experiments. We calculate the relevant NLO structure functions by calculating the virtual and real corrections for a set of graviton interaction diagrams, demonstrating the expected cancellation of the UV and IR divergences. We compare the NLO and LO results at the centre-of-mass energy relevant to HERA experiments as well as for the proposed higher energy lepton-proton collider, LHeC, which has a higher fundamental scale reach.

We define a coordinate operator in a QFT-fashion to obtain by a deformation procedure a relativistic Moyal-Weyl spacetime. The idea is extracted from recent progress in deformation theory concerning the emergence of the quantum plane of the Landau-quantization. The obtained spacetime is not equal to the standard Moyal-Weyl plane but relativistic corrections occur.

By demanding consistency of the Legendre transform construction of hyperk\"ahler metrics in projective superspace, we derive the expression for the Darboux coordinates on the hyperk\"ahler manifold. We apply these results to study the Coulomb branch moduli space of 4D, N=2 super-Yang-Mills theory (SYM) on R^3 x S^1, recovering the results by GMN. We also apply this method to study the electric corrections to the moduli space of 5D, N=1 SYM on R^3 x T^2 and give the Darboux coordinates explicitly.

We describe a systematic approach [1] to the calculation of kinematic corrections ~ t/Q^2, m^2/Q^2 in hard exclusive processes which involve momentum transfer from the initial to the final hadron state. As an example, the complete expression is derived for the time-ordered product of two electromagnetic currents that includes all kinematic corrections due to the quark distribution to twist-four accuracy. The results are applicable e.g. to the studies of deeply-virtual Compton scattering.

We apply a subtracted dispersion relation (DR) formalism with the aim to improve predictions for the two-photon exchange (TPE) corrections to elastic electron-proton scattering observables at small momentum transfers. We study the formalism on the elastic TPE contribution in comparison with existing data for unpolarized cross sections. We extend the general formalism of TPE to elastic scattering with massive lepton and perform a numerical estimate of the muon-proton scattering at low momentum transfer in view of the upcoming muon-proton scattering experiment (MUSE). We study the influence of the double-virtual Compton scattering (VVCS) subtraction function on the unpolarized lepton-proton scattering cross-section. We show that the resulting TPE correction is negligible in the electron-proton scattering and smaller than planned uncertainties of the MUSE experiment for the subtraction functions evaluated in chiral perturbation theory.

In this work we use the holographic softwall AdS/QCD model with anomalous dimension contributions coming from two different QCD beta functions to calculate the masses of higher spin glueball states for both even and odd spins and its respective Regge trajectories, related to the pomeron and the odderon, respectively. We further investigate this model taking into account dynamical corrections due to a dilaton potential consistent with Einstein equations in 5 dimensions. The results found in this work for the Regge trajectories within the anomalous softwall model with dynamical corrections are consistent with those presented in the literature.

We compute the leading contribution to the mutual information (MI) of two disjoint spheres in the large distance regime for arbitrary conformal field theories (CFT) in any dimension. This is achieved by refining the operator product expansion method introduced by Cardy \cite{Cardy:2013nua}. For CFTs with holographic duals the leading contribution to the MI at long distances comes from bulk quantum corrections to the Ryu-Takayanagi area formula. According to the FLM proposal\cite{Faulkner:2013ana} this equals the bulk MI between the two disjoint regions spanned by the boundary spheres and their corresponding minimal area surfaces. We compute this quantum correction and provide in this way a non-trivial check of the FLM proposal.

We show how one-loop corrections to scattering amplitudes of scalars and gauge bosons can be obtained from tree amplitudes in one higher dimension. Starting with a complete tree-level scattering amplitude of n+2 particles in five dimensions, one assumes that two of them cannot be "detected" and therefore an integration over their LIPS is carried out. The resulting object, function of the remaining n particles, is taken to be four-dimensional by restricting the corresponding momenta. We perform this procedure in the context of the tree-level CHY formulation of amplitudes. The scattering equations obtained in the procedure coincide with those derived by Geyer et al from ambitwistor constructions and recently studied by two of the authors for bi-adjoint scalars. They have two sectors of solutions: regular and singular. We prove that the contribution from regular solutions generically gives rise to unphysical poles. However, using a BCFW argument we prove that the unphysical contributions are always homogeneous functions of the loop momentum and can be discarded. We also show that the contribution from singular solutions turns out to be homogeneous as well.

Dynamical chiral symmetry breaking (D$\chi$SB) is studied within ($2+1$)-dimensional QED with $N$ four-component fermions. The leading and next-to-leading orders of the $1/N$ expansion are computed exactly. The analysis is carried out in an arbitrary non-local gauge. Resumming the wave-function renormalization constant at the level of the gap equation yields a strong suppression of the gauge dependence of the critical fermion flavour number, $N_c(\xi)$ where $\xi$ is the gauge fixing parameter, which is such that D$\chi$SB takes place for $N

We consider the optical fiber channel modelled by the nonlinear Shr\"{o}dinger equation with zero dispersion and additive Gaussian noise. Using Feynman path-integral approach for the model we find corrections to conditional probability density function, output signal distribution, conditional and output signal entropies, and the channel capacity at large signal-to-noise ratio. We demonstrate that the correction to the channel capacity is positive for large signal power. Therefore, this correction increases the earlier calculated capacity for a nondispersive nonlinear optical fiber channel in the intermediate power region.

We revisit the background solution for scalar matter coupled higher derivative gravity originally reported in arXiv: 1409.8019[hep-th]. In this letter, we choose a convenient ansatz for metric which determines the first order perturbative corrections to scalar as well as geometry.

In this comment we wish to clarify and correct some of the statements made in a recent paper by E. G. Mishchenko (Europhys. Lett. 83 (2008) 17005).

We update the study of the QCD corrections to direct J/psi and Upsilon hadroproduction in association with a photon in the QCD-based approach of the Colour-Singlet (CS) Model. After comparison with the recent full next-to-leading-order (NLO) computation for this process, we provide an independent confirmation to the inclusive case that NLO QCD corrections to quarkonium-production processes whose LO exhibits a non-leading P_T behaviour can be reliably computed at mid and large P_T by considering only the real emission contributions accompanied with a kinematical cut. In turn, we evaluate the leading part of the alpha^4_S alpha contributions, namely those coming from (J/psi,Upsilon)+gamma associated with two light partons. We find that they are dominant at mid and large P_T. This confirms our expectations from the leading P_T scaling of the new topologies appearing at NNLO. We obtain that the yield from the CS becomes one order of magnitude larger than the upper value of the potential Colour-Octet yield. The polarization of the 3S1 quarkonia produced in association with a photon is confirmed to be longitudinal at mid and large P_T.

The paper continues the rigorous investigations of the mean field Green function solution of the effective two-dimensional two-band Hubbard model [N. M. Plakida et al., Phys. Rev. B, Vol.51, 16599 (1995)] of the superconducting phase transitions in cuprates, started in [Gh. Adam, S. Adam, J. Phys. A: Math. Theor., Vol.40, 11205 (2007)]. Discussion of the $(\delta, T)$ phase diagram of the model points to the divergence of the energy spectrum in the limit of vanishing doping $\delta$. Finite energy spectra at all possible doping rates $\delta$ are obtained provided the hopping part of the effective Hamiltonian is renormalized with an effective factor pointing to the site-pairs availability for fermion hopping processes.

We construct a new version of the higher covariant derivative regularization for a general ${\cal N}=2$ supersymmetric gauge theory formulated in terms of ${\cal N}=1$ superfields. This regularization preserves both supersymmetries of the classical action, namely, the invariance under the manifest ${\cal N}=1$ supersymmetry and under the second hidden on-shell supersymmetry. The regularizing ${\cal N}=2$ supersymmetric higher derivative term is found in the explicit form in terms of ${\cal N}=1$ superfields. Thus, ${\cal N}=2$ supersymmetry is broken only by the gauge fixing procedure. Then we analyze the exact NSVZ $\beta$-function and prove that in the considered model its higher loop structure is determined by the anomalous dimension of the chiral superfield $\Phi$ in the adjoint representation which is the ${\cal N}=2$ superpartner of the gauge superfield $V$. Using the background field method we find that this anomalous dimension is related with the anomalous dimension of the hypermultiplet and vanishes if the effective action is invariant under ${\cal N}=2$ background supersymmetry. As a consequence, in this case the higher loop contributions to $\beta$-function also vanish. The one-loop renormalization structure in the considered regularization is also studied by the explicit calculations of the one-loop renormalization constants.

We calculate one-loop corrected Yukawa coupling constants $hf\bar{f}$ for the standard model like Higgs boson $h$ in two Higgs doublet models. We focus on the models with the softly-broken $Z_2$ symmetry, which is imposed to avoid the flavor changing neutral current. Under the $Z_2$ symmetry, there are four types of Yukawa interactions. We find that one-loop contributions from extra Higgs bosons modify the $hf\bar{f}$ couplings to be maximally about $5\%$ under the constraint from perturbative unitarity and vacuum stability. Our results show that the pattern of tree-level deviations by the mixing effect in each type of Yukawa couplings from the SM predictions does not change even including radiative corrections. Moreover, when the gauge couplings $hVV$ ($V=W,Z$) are found to be slightly (with a percent level) differ from the SM predictions, the $hf\bar{f}$ couplings also deviate but more largely. Therefore, in such a case, not only can we determine the type of Yukawa couplings but also we can obtain information on the extra Higgs bosons by comparing the predictions with precisely measured $hf\bar{f}$ and $hVV$ couplings at future electron-positron colliders.

We investigate the effect of localized opacity modifications on the sound-speed profile of solar models. The sound-speed difference between the Sun and a solar model is used to deduce the opacity correction that would be required to bring the model into agreement with the Sun. We test this procedure on artificial data for a pair of solar models and apply it to the solar sound speed as inferred from inversion of LOWL observed frequencies. We show that a solar model constructed with the appropriately modified opacity has a sound-speed profile very similar to that of the Sun.
