Mirrors of 3d Sicilian theories

Sicilian gauge theories and N = 1 dualities

In theories without known Lagrangian descriptions, knowledge of the global symmetries is often one of the few pieces of information we have at our disposal. Gauging (part of) such global symmetries can then lead to interesting new theories, which are usually still quite mysterious. In this work, we describe a set of tools that can be used to explore the superconformal phases of these theories. ...

Exploiting Mirrors for Laser Stripe 3D Scanning

This paper proposes and evaluates the use of a mirror for improving the scanning process when using laser-stripe acquisition devices. We propose to exploit mirrors for two different purposes: automatizing the 3D acquisition process and allowing the scanning of hard-to-reach parts. The combined use of a flat mirror and a rotary table allows to scan, in a completely automatic and unattended manne...

Panoramic 3D Reconstruction Using Rotating Camera with Planar Mirrors

In this paper, we propose a novel approach for obtaining 3D information of panoramic (360 degrees) environments. We design an image acquisition rig composed with a camera and two planar mirrors. The regular image captured by the camera is separated into uncontinuous three regions by the mirrors arranged in front of the camera. By rotating the rig about a vertical axis with a constant velocity, ...

3D weak lensing: Modified theories of gravity

Weak lensing (WL) promises to be a particularly sensitive probe of both the growth of large-scale structure as well as the fundamental relation between matter density perturbations and metric perturbations, thus providing a powerful tool with which we may constrain modified theories of gravity (MG) on cosmological scales. Future deep, wide-field WL surveys will provide an unprecedented opportun...
