Volume Modulus Inflation and the Gravitino Mass Problem by Conlon, J, Kallosh, R, Linde, A, Quevedo, F

“…In these models, the Hubble constant during inflation can be many orders of magnitude greater than the gravitino mass. We introduce a toy model describing this scenario, and discuss its strengths and weaknesses.…”

Measurement of Lexical Diversity in Children’s Spoken Language: Computational and Conceptual Considerations by Ji Seung Yang, Carly Rosvold, Nan Bernstein Ratner

“…However, computation of VocD as a function of toy interactions was significant and emerges as a further caution in use of lexical diversity as a valid proxy index of children’s expressive vocabulary skill.DiscussionThis large scale statistical comparison of computer-implemented algorithms for expressive lexical profiles in young children with traditional, hand-calculated measures showed that only VocD met criteria for evidence-based use in LSA. …”

Simulated Quantum Annealing Can Be Exponentially Faster Than Classical Simulated Annealing by Crosson, Elizabeth, Harrow, Aram W.

“…While our analysis only covers this toy model, it can be seen as evidence against the prospect of exponential quantum speedup using tunneling. …”

Proposed new interior design of Barbie flagship store for Mattel Inc. at Lot 2395, Seksyen 41, Jalan Sultan Ismail, 50350 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan / Nur Diyana Amira Mohd... by Mohd Ali Shaifuddin, Nur Diyana Amira

“…This project is chosen because Malaysia is lacking of flagship store especially in toy industries. Barbie product itself always got a place in local toy industries but there are still no place to cater Barbie fans and customers. …”

On the Possible Asymmetry in Gamma Rays from Andromeda Due to Inverse Compton Scattering of Star Light on Electrons from Dark Matter Annihilation by Konstantin Belotsky, Maxim Solovyov

“…In this work, we look into the hypothetical asymmetry in gamma radiation from the upper and lower hemisphere of the dark matter halo of the Andromeda galaxy due to inverse Compton scattering of starlight on the DM-produced electrons and positrons. While our 2D toy model raises expectations for the possible effect, a more complex approach gives negligible effect for the dark halo case, but shows some prospects for a dark disk model.…”

Cosmology meets cohomology by Shounak De, Andrzej Pokraka

“…Abstract The cosmological polytope and bootstrap programs have revealed interesting connections between positive geometries, modern on-shell methods and bootstrap principles studied in the amplitudes community with the wavefunction of the Universe in toy models of FRW cosmologies. To compute these FRW correlators, one often faces integrals that are too difficult to evaluate by direct integration. …”

Time-reversal symmetry breaking in superconductors through loop supercurrent order by Sudeep Kumar Ghosh, James F Annett, Jorge Quintanilla

“…Using Ginzburg–Landau theory we describe in detail how these currents emerge in a toy model. We discuss the crystallographic symmetry requirements more generally to realize such a state and show that they are met by the Re _6 X ( X = Zr, Hf, Ti) family of TRS-breaking, but otherwise seemingly conventional, superconductors. …”

Embedding Black Holes and Other Inhomogeneities in the Universe in Various Theories of Gravity: A Short Review by Valerio Faraoni

“…In these situations, the teleological concept of event horizon fails and apparent or trapping horizons are used instead. Even as toy models, black holes embedded in cosmological “backgrounds” and other inhomogeneous universes constitute an interesting class of solutions of various theories of gravity. …”

Analogue gravity simulation of superpositions of spacetimes by Carlos Barceló, Luis J. Garay, Gerardo García-Moreno

“…We present an analogue toy model consisting of a Bose–Einstein condensate in a double-well potential and identify the states that could potentially be interpreted as superposition of effective spacetimes. …”

Sub-AdS scale locality in AdS3/CFT2 by Alexandre Belin, Ben Freivogel, Robert A. Jefferson, Laurens Kabir

“…Abstract We investigate sub-AdS scale locality in a weakly coupled toy model of the AdS3/CFT2 correspondence. We find that this simple model has the correct density of states at low and high energies to be dual to Einstein gravity coupled to matter in AdS3. …”

Conversion between electron spin and microscopic atomic rotation by Masato Hamada, Shuichi Murakami

“…In phonon modes with angular momenta, the atoms microscopically rotate around their equilibrium positions in crystals. In a simple toy model with phonons, we calculate the spin expectation value by using the adiabatic series expansion. …”

An unfolding method based on conditional invertible neural networks (cINN) using iterative training by Mathias Backes, Anja Butter, Monica Dunford, Bogdan Malaescu

Risk Management for Bonds with Embedded Options by Antonio Díaz, Marta Tolentino

“…We use the Ho and Lee (HL) and Black, Derman, and Toy (BDT) consistent interest rate models. In addition, specific interest rate measures that consider the contingent cash-flow structure of these coupon-bearing bonds must be computed. …”

Analytic resurgence in the O(4) model by Zoltán Bajnok, János Balog, István Vona

“…We find a “resurgence” behaviour: the leading alien derivatives can be expressed in terms of the original perturbative series. A simplified ‘toy’ model is also considered: here the perturbative series can be found in a closed form and the resurgence properties are very similar to that found in the real problem.…”
