  • Arxiv:2010.00155V3 [Math.DS] 19 Jul 2021 Statistics of a Family Of
    Statistics of a Family of Piecewise Linear Maps J. J. P. Veerman,∗ P. J. Oberly,† L. S. Fox‡ July 21, 2021 Abstract We study statistical properties of a family of piecewise linear monotone circle maps ft(x) related to the angle doubling map x → 2x mod 1. In particular, we deviations n−1 i 1 investigate whether for large n, the i=0 ft (x0) − 2 upon rescaling satisfy a Q-Gaussian distribution if x and t are both independently and uniformly 0 P distributed on the unit circle. This was motivated by the fact that if ft is the rotation by t, then it was recently found that in this case the rescaled deviations are distributed as a Q-Gaussian with Q = 2 (a Cauchy distribution). This is the only case where a non-trivial (i.e. Q 6= 1) Q-Gaussian has been analytically established in a conservative dynamical system. In this note, however, we prove that for the family considered here, limn Sn/n converges to a random variable with a curious distribution which is clearly not a Q-Gaussian or any other standard smooth distribution. 1 Introduction In this note, we study statistical properties of the family of truncated flat spot maps ft, defined as follows. One starts with x 7→ 2x and truncates horizontally to obtain a “flat spot circle map” as illustrated in Figure 1 and given by t t x ∈ [0, 2 ] arXiv:2010.00155v3 [math.DS] 19 Jul 2021 t 1+t ft(x)= 2x mod 1 x ∈ [ 2 , 2 ] . 1+t t x ∈ [ 2 , 1) In particular, we wish to study the quantity n−1 1 S (t, x ) := f i(x ) − .

    ‘Yes, But What Have You Done for Me Lately?’: Intersections of Intellectual Property, Work-for-Hire, and The Struggle of the Creative Precariat in the American Comic Book Industry © 2019 By Ora Charles McWilliams Submitted to the graduate degree program in American Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Co-Chair: Ben Chappell Co-Chair: Elizabeth Esch Henry Bial Germaine Halegoua Joo Ok Kim Date Defended: 10 May, 2019 ii The dissertation committee for Ora Charles McWilliams certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: ‘Yes, But What Have You Done for Me Lately?’: Intersections of Intellectual Property, Work-for-Hire, and The Struggle of the Creative Precariat in the American Comic Book Industry Co-Chair: Ben Chappell Co-Chair: Elizabeth Esch Date Approved: 24 May 2019 iii Abstract The comic book industry has significant challenges with intellectual property rights. Comic books have rarely been treated as a serious art form or cultural phenomenon. It used to be that creating a comic book would be considered shameful or something done only as side work. Beginning in the 1990s, some comic creators were able to leverage enough cultural capital to influence more media. In the post-9/11 world, generic elements of superheroes began to resonate with audiences; superheroes fight against injustices and are able to confront the evils in today’s America. This has created a billion dollar, Oscar-award-winning industry of superhero movies, as well as allowed created comic book careers for artists and writers.

Ability There are nine areas in the game that can be lit for an award. While the Skill Shot is active, two of the nine will be selected and flashing. The two selected will be; one of the top three lanes and one of six playfield shots below. The selected playfield shot will be marked by a flashing blue arrow. The Skill Shots will stay active until you shoot any of the nine. If you succeed at completing one, you will receive 10% of your score +1M points, plus whichever extra award you chose. Once the ball is plunged you will no longer be able to change your selection. SLIMER Slimer is one of the major interactive toys in the game. At the beginning of the game he stays out of the way.
