Análise Espectral do Operador Diferencial e sua Conexão com a Hipótese de Riemann

Resumo

Este trabalho investiga a possibilidade de construir um operador diferencial cujo espectro seja diretamente relacionado às partes imaginárias dos zeros não triviais da função zeta de Riemann, conforme sugerido pela conjectura de Hilbert-Pólya. Implementamos um operador da forma ( H = -\frac{d^2}{dx^2} + V(x) + \epsilon W(x) ), onde o potencial ( V(x) = x^2 + \lambda x^4 ) e a perturbação ( W(x) = \alpha \cos(\beta x) + \gamma e^{-\delta x^2} ) foram escolhidos de forma a capturar as propriedades espectrais da função zeta. Os autovalores desse operador foram comparados estatisticamente aos espaçamentos normalizados dos zeros de zeta.

1. Introdução

A Hipótese de Riemann estabelece que todos os zeros não triviais da função zeta possuem parte real igual a (1/2). A conexão entre os zeros de zeta e sistemas físicos quânticos tem sido explorada por diversas abordagens, incluindo o estudo de operadores diferenciais autoadjuntos, conforme sugerido pela conjectura de Hilbert-Pólya. Este artigo busca implementar e analisar um operador diferencial cujo espectro possua propriedades estatísticas similares às dos zeros de zeta.

2. Construção do Operador Diferencial

Definimos o operador diferencial como:

[ H = -\frac{d^2}{dx^2} + x^2 + \lambda x^4 + \epsilon (\alpha \cos(\beta x) + \gamma e^{-\delta x^2}) ]

onde os parâmetros (\lambda, \epsilon, \alpha, \beta, \gamma, \delta) controlam a estrutura do espectro. A matriz do operador foi discretizada usando métodos de diferenças finitas e diagonalizada numericamente.

3. Métodos Numéricos e Validação

Diagonalização Numérica: Utilizamos o método espectral com discretização em uma grade de 800 pontos.

Cálculo de espaçamentos: Os espaçamentos entre autovalores foram normalizados e comparados com a estatística de Wigner-Dyson do ensemble GUE (Gaussian Unitary Ensemble).

Teste de Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS): Avaliamos a proximidade entre a distribuição dos espaçamentos do operador e a distribuição teórica do GUE.

4. Resultados e Discussão

A análise do espectro resultou em um valor da estatística KS de 0.170 e um valor-p de 1.90 \times 10^{-20}, indicando que a distribuição dos espaçamentos dos autovalores do operador se desvia significativamente da distribuição do GUE. Isso sugere que a estrutura do operador proposto ainda não captura totalmente as propriedades espectrais da função zeta.

5. Conclusão e Trabalhos Futuros

Embora os resultados indiquem uma correlação entre o espectro do operador diferencial e as estatísticas dos zeros de zeta, a diferença significativa no teste KS sugere a necessidade de refinar a estrutura do potencial. Trabalhos futuros incluem a exploração de potenciais baseados em formas automórficas e operadores diferenciais de Selberg para melhorar a aproximação com a distribuição esperada dos zeros de zeta.

Specialty Polymers Market - Forecast (2023 - 2028)

Specialty Polymers Market size is estimated to reach US$248.1 billion by 2027, after growing at a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period 2022-2027. Specialty polymers are derived from natural polymers, semisynthetic polymers and synthetic macromolecule polymers. Specialty polymers have advantageous characteristics, such as improved gas barrier performance, flame resistance and heat stability. They are thus frequently used in a variety of applications, including polymers, resins, monomers, intermediates and more. The booming transportation industry is the primary factor driving the growth of the specialty polymers market. According to the Organisation Internationale des Constructeurs d'Automobiles, in 2020, the global automotive production was 77,711,725 units and in 2021, it was 80,145,988 - an increase of 3%. Also, the growth in construction activities worldwide would fuel the demand for specialty polymers. The COVID-19 pandemic, on the other hand, hampered the growth of the specialty polymers industry. This was due to the halt in industrial activities associated with automotive, building & construction and more in 2020. Nonetheless, the increase in industrial production activities in 2021 fueled the growth of the Specialty Polymers industry.

Report Coverage

The "Specialty Polymers Market Report – Forecast (2022-2027)” by IndustryARC, covers an in-depth analysis of the following segments in the Specialty Polymers Market.

By Source: Natural, Semisynthetic and Synthetic. By Form: Solid and Liquid. By Type: Specialty Elastomers (Fluoroelastomers, Fluorosilicone Rubber, Liquid Silicone Rubber, Natural Rubber and Others), Specialty Thermoplastics (Polyolefins, Polyimides, Vinylic Polymer, Polyphenyles and Others), Specialty Thermosets (Epoxy, Polyester, Vinyl Ester, Polyimides and Others), Biodegradable Polymers, Conducting Polymers, Liquid Crystal Polymers and Others. By End-use Industry: Building & Construction (Residential, Commercial, Industrial and Infrastructure), Transport [Automotive {Passenger Vehicles (PV), Light Commercial Vehicles (LCV) and Heavy Commercial Vehicles (HCV)}, Aerospace (Commercial, Military and Others), Marine (Passenger, Cargo and Others) and Locomotive], Textile, Food & Beverages (Fruits & Vegetables, Meat, Confectionery, Bakery Products, Dairy Products, Alcoholic Beverages, Non-alcoholic Beverages and Others), Electrical & Electronics (Computers, Smartphones, Semiconductors, Wires and Others), Cosmetics & Personal Care (Hair Care, Skin Care, Perfumes & Fragrance and Others) and Others. By Geography: North America (the USA, Canada and Mexico), Europe (the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, Russia, Belgium and the Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (China, Japan, India, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand, Indonesia, Taiwan, Malaysia and the Rest of APAC), South America (Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Chile and the Rest of South America) and the Rest of the World [the Middle East (Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Israel and the Rest of Middle East) and Africa (South Africa, Nigeria and the Rest of Africa)].

Key Takeaways

Asia-Pacific dominated the Specialty Polymers Market, owing to the growth of the automotive industry in the region. According to the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM), in 2020, the total automobile production in India was 22,655,609 units and in 2021, it was 22,933,230 units - an increase of 1.2%.

The increasing research & development associated with Specialty Polymers would create an opportunity for market growth during the projected forecast period.

Moreover, the surging application of Specialty Polymers as resins, monomers and intermediates in the textile and cosmetics & personal care industries is driving the market growth.

However, the higher price of Specialty Polymers may confine the growth of the Specialty Polymers industry in the upcoming years.

Bangkok: 14-jähriger tötet im EKZ Siam Paragon 2 Ausländer und verletzt 5 weitere

Ein 14-jähriger Junge unternahm gestern am Dienstagabend im Einkaufszentrum Siam Paragon im Herzen von Bangkok eine Schießerei, bei der zwei Ausländer – ein chinesischer Staatsbürger und ein Arbeiter aus Myanmar – getötet und fünf weitere verletzt wurden. Ursprünglich hatte die Polizei drei Todesfälle durch Walkie-Talkie Kommunikation gemeldet, die Zahl der Todesopfer wurde jedoch auf zwei gesenkt. Eine Person wurde lebensgefährlich verletzt. Der chinesische Staatsbürger starb noch vor Ort, während der Arbeiter aus Myanmar im Krankenhaus seinen Verletzungen erlag. Die Polizei hat die Namen der Opfer bisher noch nicht bekannt gegeben.

Nachdem um 17.15 Uhr im Fernsehen berichtet wurde, dass der bewaffnete Teenager festgenommen worden sei, wurden die Käufer aufgefordert, das Einkaufszentrum zu verlassen. Ab 18 Uhr zeigten Live-Berichte auf Fernsehsender 3, wie viele Käufer und Ladenmitarbeiter das Einkaufszentrum verängstigt verließen. Die Polizei berichtete, dass zwei verletzte Opfer ins Police General Hospital gebracht wurden, eines ins Chulalongkorn Hospital und ein weiteres ins Hua Chiew Hospital. Die Polizei sagte, der Junge habe bei der Vernehmung am Tatort widersprüchliche Angaben gemacht. Er behauptete, dass er glaubte, jemand würde ihn angreifen, also zog er seine Pistole, um das Feuer zu eröffnen. Die Polizei sagte, der Junge sei Schüler einer Nachhilfeschule in der Nähe des Einkaufszentrums. Nach dem Vorfall mit der Schießerei postete Premierminister Srettha Thavisin auf seinem X (ehemals Twitter), dass er über den Vorfall informiert worden sei. Der unbekannte Schütze ergab sich, nachdem ihm Berichten zufolge die Munition ausgegangen war. Er wurde in einem Geschäft im dritten Stock festgenommen. Den Berichten zufolge hatte er versucht, durch einen Durchgang vom Einkaufszentrum zu fliehen, das zum Siam Kempinski Hotel Bangkok führte. Das Hotel hatte jedoch seinen Eingang im dritten Stock geschlossen. Kurz nach 16 Uhr wurden die Menschen im Einkaufszentrum aufgefordert, Schutz zu suchen, als Schüsse zu hören waren. Verängstigte Käufer versuchten, aus dem Einkaufszentrum zu fliehen, und viele stürmten in Geschäfte, die ihre Türen öffneten, um sie hereinzulassen. Ein Überlebender rief Channel 3 an und sagte, True Shop habe vielen Leuten erlaubt, hineinzukommen und sich ruhig im inneren Teil des Ladens zu verstecken. Er sagte, er habe die Polizei gebeten, für die Sicherheit der Menschen zu sorgen. Später teilte Srettha Reportern in den Büros der Pheu-Thai Partei mit, dass der Sprecher der Royal Thai Police bald Einzelheiten des Vorfalls bekannt geben werde, die Situation jedoch nach der Festnahme des Schützen unter Kontrolle gebracht worden sei. Einer Polizeiquelle zufolge lebte der Junge in der Gegend von Bang Kae. Berichten zufolge fand die Polizei bei ihm eine automatische Glock 9-mm Pistole. Nach dem Vorfall eilte der Generalkommissar der Königlich Thailändischen Polizei, Polizeigeneral Torsak Sukvimol, mit mehreren hochrangigen Polizeibeamten zum Tatort, um die Situation zu überwachen. Einer Polizeiquelle zufolge ergab die Vorvernehmung, dass der Teenager süchtig nach Schießspielen am Computer war. Er wurde zur rechtlichen Verfolgung auf die Polizeiwache Pathumwan gebracht, während seine Eltern zur Wache gerufen wurden. Polizeioberst Noppadol Thiammekha, Chef der Polizeistation Pathumwan, sagte, seine Station sei gegen 16 Uhr auf die Schießerei aufmerksam gemacht worden. Er sagte, der Verdächtige sei etwa 1,75 Meter groß, trage schwarze Stiefel und enge Kleidung, „als wäre er zum Töten gekleidet“. Die Polizei brauchte etwa eine Stunde und 15 Minuten, um den bewaffneten Teenager festzunehmen und die Situation unter Kontrolle zu bringen, sagte der Polizeichef. / The Nation     Read the full article

Have you ever wondered how mobile apps have changed our lives drastically?

Waking up to a morning alarm, catching up daily news, having a chit-chat with a long-distance friend, ordering a quick bite, booking tickets for the weekend party, maintaining your to-do lists, binge-watching your favorite series, checking your email and quickly following up with a project, monitoring your sleep time — you have exclusive mobile apps to pull all these off and accomplish a lot more.

Mobile apps have become part and parcel of our daily routines. A day without these mobile apps is uninteresting, boring, and like going back to stone ages. The trends in the mobile app sphere are changing on a daily basis and advancing rapidly with a focus to leverage technology to ease our lives and businesses.

If you are looking forward to launching mobile apps for your business, it is crucial that you need to be aware of the contemporary trends in mobile app development. In this article, we will walk you through the latest trends and developments in the app technologies so that you can develop an app that is future-ready.

What follows is a list of most recent and top nine trends in mobile apps that you need to know:

#1 Reality is more fascinating than fiction when it is augmented [AR]

AR that stands for augmented reality isn’t a new terminology for technology enthusiasts. It is researched that the market for the AR-powered mobile apps will hit $209 Billion by 2021. Augmented reality lets your app give more real-like experiences to your users. AR is a kind of technology where computer-generated elements and models are superimposed on real-world elements to give a stunning and composite experience to the users. This augmented reality has been on its booming curve since recent years, especially in the gaming and entertainment industries. You can leverage augmented reality to offer unique and compelling digital experiences to your customers and interact with them in a memorable way.

#2 Accelerated mobile pages that accelerate your performance

It’s been more than three years since Google started giving a high-preference to mobile-friendly webpages in indexing and ranking. Accelerated mobile pages, often abbreviated as AMP is a technology used to decrease the website’s load-time on mobile devices. This has taken the mobile design industry by storm and resulted in webpages that are lightweight and load quickly. Now, mobile apps are also adapting to AMP technologies and gearing up to faster, smooth, and seamless page loads. Make sure your app pages have a decent AMP score because AMP-enabled mobile apps go a long way in decreasing the bounce rate and increasing the user retention rate.

#3 Get all things done with Internet of Things (IoT)

From the time Internet used to be a luxury to today where it has become an absolute necessity, the rate of its growth has only been astounding. The future of the Internet is more than exhilarating. Internet of things (IoT) refers to interconnecting all the objects and things around us via Internet with computer-embedded smart devices to enable remote operations from anywhere any time.

The IoT devices are majorly operated, accessed, and controlled on mobile devices like smartphones and tablets and a lot of IoT-based mobile apps are being developed these days. The concept of IoT is definitely here to stay and mobile apps can’t envision their future without leveraging IoT.

#4 From chat to call, Artificial Intelligence does it all [AI]

The scope of incorporating new-age technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and natural language processing (NLP) in mobile apps has widened like never before. AI-powered apps like Google Assistant have raised the bars and set really high standards. The percentage of mobile apps that use AI has increased drastically in 2020.

Big players like Google, Facebook, Microsoft, and IBM are investing a huge chunk of dollars on Artificial Intelligence. AI-powered mobile apps make use of advanced analytics, cognitive interfaces, and intuitive dashboards to deliver data-driven insights and insight-based actionable items to its business users.

#5 M-commerce becoming the new eCommerce

Mobile devices have redefined online shopping experiences to a large extent in the last couple of years. From adding items to the shopping cart to integrating seamlessly with the payment gateways, there are mobile apps that provide comprehensive shopping interfaces end-to-end. Payment apps like Google pay and Apple pay are replacing conventional debit/credit card payments and preferred by customers for their ease of use and transactions. The future of apps is flourishing and promising with m-commerce integration. Thus, developers need to make it a point that their apps are scalable and m-commerce enabled.

#6 Cloud-based mobile platforms gonna rain cats and dogs

Cloud storage comes with a plethora of benefits and cloud systems cater to a broad set of users ranging from non-technical users, business users, tech-savvies, and hi-end professionals. From small-medium enterprises to mom and pop start-ups, a lot of businesses depend upon the cloud storage applications. This opens up great platforms for mobile-based cloud storage applications that are handy, flexible, and scalable. Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, Microsoft storage are familiar cloud storage platforms used by numerous businesses. App developers need to learn and equip themselves to meet the humongous need of developing cloud-based apps that are going to be the order of the day.

#7 Safety and security is not an option

While technological advancement and growth have opened up the doors of innovation wider like never before, there’s a grey side to it too. The threat to security and data privacy has become a major reason to feel unsafe online. Towards the end of 2019 and the onset of 2020, the digital users’ community has become highly sensitive and more vocal to the security-related issues. The apps that are going to pass the test of the time are the ones that enforce a transparent mechanism in place to ensure safety, reliability, and data protection.

App developers need to understand the safety concerns and adopt foolproof mechanisms to prevent issues like insecure storage, privacy violation, data breach, inappropriate use of personal identifiers, and unsafe deployment.

#8 Let bots do all the chatting

Twenty years ago, if someone told us we can send unlimited free SMSes using cellular data, we must have ridiculed them. But apps like WhatsApp made it true and possible. Likewise, it should be hard to believe now that in another couple of years bots are going to take care of handling customer service, ticketing, and sales interaction completely.

Apps that have pre-programmed guidelines and logics to dictate the bots to choose appropriate and customized reply messages will take over communication all over the digital space. This replaces real-time communication and facilitates instantaneous, seamless, and effective communication without human intervention. It is expected that by the end of 2021, 85% of communication between customers and service providers will be taken care of by chatbots. App developers need to cope up with this most amazing trend to survive the competitive storm and provide unique and interactive conversational experiences to their users.

#9 On-demand apps are the next big things

As the very name reads, on-demand apps connect service providers and customers to those who have needs. Providing taxi services on-demand, delivering food on demand, running an errand on demand, rendering a babysitting service on demand, etc. are examples of providing services on demand via mobile apps.

The on-demand app market has made the Internet space a more open and democratic medium where service providers and customers interact with each other directly and effectively, thus empowering both the ends. These apps make it very easy for a customer to avail services on the go, in the blink of an eye. A lot of organizations have shifted their focus to adapt their business to an on-demand app model. It is studied that over 80 Million Americans make use of these on-demand services more frequently.

These mobile app trends are only glimpses of the future whereas, the actual and real future is more fun, interesting, mindblowing, and exhilarating. Technology enthusiasts can’t wait to see these trends get real, spread wide, and become a thing of commoners. When you hire a mobile app developer, you must ensure that they are up to date with these trends.

Formulação Matemática e Validação Numérica de um Operador Diferencial Refinado para Modelar os Zeros da Função Zeta de Riemann: Uma Revisão Crítica

Resumo A Hipótese de Hilbert-Pólya sugere que os zeros não triviais da função zeta de Riemann correspondem aos autovalores de um operador diferencial autoadjunto. Neste estudo, investigamos um operador diferencial refinado incorporando termos logarítmicos, potenciais oscilatórios e componentes exponenciais, conforme proposto recentemente na literatura. Realizamos uma validação computacional utilizando testes estatísticos de Kolmogorov-Smirnov e Anderson-Darling para comparar a distribuição dos espaçamentos dos autovalores do operador com a estatística do Ensemble Gaussiano Unitário (GUE). Os resultados obtidos indicam que a modelagem proposta apresenta discrepâncias significativas em relação à distribuição esperada, sugerindo limitações conceituais na formulação do operador.

1. Introdução A distribuição dos zeros da função zeta de Riemann tem sido objeto de extensas investigações devido à sua conexão com a Hipótese de Riemann e à relação com matrizes aleatórias. Montgomery (1973) sugeriu que os espaçamentos normalizados entre os zeros seguem a estatística do Ensemble Gaussiano Unitário (GUE), resultado corroborado por Odlyzko (1987) através de simulações computacionais. Estudos recentes buscaram formular um operador diferencial cujos autovalores reproduzam essa estatística.

Neste artigo, reavaliamos a validade matemática e numérica de um operador diferencial refinado que incorpora termos oscilatórios e logarítmicos. Utilizamos métodos computacionais para calcular sua estrutura espectral e avaliamos a compatibilidade com a estatística GUE.

2. Formulação do Operador Diferencial Consideramos um operador diferencial da forma:

[ H = -\frac{d^2}{dx^2} + V(x) + \epsilon W(x) + \eta Q(x) + \sigma \log(1 + x^2) ]

onde:

( V(x) = x^2 + \lambda x^4 ) é um potencial confinante,

( W(x) = \alpha \cos(\beta x) + \gamma e^{-\delta x^2} ) introduz oscilações,

( Q(x) = \mu x e^{-\nu x^2} ) ajusta a distribuição dos espaçamentos,

( \sigma \log(1 + x^2) ) adiciona uma perturbação não-linear.

A autoadjunticidade de ( H ) é garantida sob condições de fronteira adequadas.

3. Metodologia Computacional Os autovalores de ( H ) foram calculados via discretização por diferenças finitas e diagonalização numérica. Avaliamos a distribuição dos espaçamentos normalizados e realizamos testes estatísticos para verificar sua compatibilidade com a estatística GUE.

4. Resultados e Discussão Os testes estatísticos resultaram em:

Kolmogorov-Smirnov: Estatística KS = 0.129, ( p )-valor = 0.0

Anderson-Darling: Estatística AD = 29.48, valores críticos entre 0.574 e 1.088

Esses resultados indicam que a distribuição dos espaçamentos dos autovalores do operador refinado não corresponde à estatística do GUE. Testamos variantes do operador, incluindo um operador pseudo-diferencial, mas os espaçamentos permaneceram incompatíveis com a estatística esperada.

5. Conclusão Os resultados sugerem que a abordagem diferencial refinada não é suficiente para modelar corretamente os zeros da função zeta. Estudos futuros devem explorar modelos baseados em operadores integro-diferenciais ou métodos inspirados na teoria espectral de matrizes aleatórias.

i have finally finished my only 12% and if you saw me curled up crying on the floor no you didn't. some of the choices made in the show were so absolutely phenomenal i just have to talk about them (no matter how incoherent i may be)

i loved that the storytelling wasn't rushed. like desis like to say, itmenaan se batao, tell it with patience! it's very easy to make the show dragged out, especially when it's a slowburn romance, but i was still at the edge of my seat all the time! (except maybe last 2 eps but that says more about me than the show lol, if i start to rant about the father I'll never really stop)

in continuation of the above point, the choice to let the scenes linger a little bit longer after the plot point/conversation was over was so good! for example, literally every scene with the friends doing their basic kids nonsense! (bestest friend groups really <3)

that terrifying Eminem poster that gave me a jump scare everytime it was in shot ☠️ also the fleabag poster for some reason, in a show set in late 2000s/early 2010s!!! (i.e. make a show so good that even bizzare mistakes seem negligible)

speaking of the show's setting, oh such a core memory to see MSN, the flip phones, skype, that box windows computer, adding relationship statuses on Facebook, peak 2012. (im a sucker for nostalgia!)

i don't think i have to talk about how beautifully written CakeEiw's friendship was! them cuddling to sleep and Cake just spreading his arms for 'HUG! 😁', yeah. adorable

Eiw's discovery of his sexuality (with Love of Siam) and Hom being so supportive of him! im so glad Eiw had such a supportive family and friends! no matter how much of an 'other' Eiw felt like, no one near & dear to him let him feel like that and its SO important (snickering at the fact that Earth is older than Prem).

the entire America plot, omg, bawling. who hasn't had that friend who moved away, or who hasn't been the one to move away at some point? it was so well done, and all the scenes between CakeEiw post Cake telling Eiw that he's moving had such a bittersweetness to it, especially on the last day when they're promising each other sweet nothings! (kudos to the actors!)

Eiw saying that he's sad that he discovered his love for Cake but now he has to move away? KNIFE IN MY HEART! Eiw sniff kissing Cake and Cake coming back from the car to hug Eiw even tighter? NO PAIN

the letter/email style story telling in ep9 🤌 i love that they didn't go for the "they grew apart in the 3 years" or "one of them isn't replying" etc etc tropes because not only i don't like them but also it would be so out of character for them! and correct use of emerging tech!

love the confidence and the glow up for Eiw! he joined so many activities, making new friends, becoming part of the drama club, dresses like a fkn model, also got his hair dyed, GOOD FOR HIM

Cake in Blonde™! Him immediately begging his mum to let him see Eiw after getting back (in the middle of the night!). him crying and wiping his tears when Eiw hugged him at the bus stop. he's everything to me. Eiw repeating Cake's name on repeat and asking him to always respond? 😭

the enitre subplot of Pu & Tal wanting to be with Eiw was so funny to me skskskskks because have they seen CakeEiw together? one could be with their partners but would still feel like a third wheel in front of them. (and that's BEOFRE they officially got together) INSUFFERABLE

oh the post-show CakeEiw fight, & Eiw saying "Have you ever had to be the one who waits?" holt saying PAIN.gif. that entire confrontation/confession was so intense that i understand the choice to spread it out in between two episodes. and finally Cake saying "then i will be gay with you" had me laughing in the middle of all these tears he's such a best boy i love him dearly. (i was lowkey scared of the 'im not gay i just like you' making a comeback lol)

CakeEiw's relationship being written just as good (if not better) than their friendship!!!! the scene with "i love everything about you"? crying screaming shaking. Cake being basically a puppy? love that for Eiw

in conclusion, CakeEiw best boys and i miss them dearly and i want them back already

GiGS 2022/08 Kaoru and Shinya interview translation notes

(HD scans available in larger size - contact me in private)

Personal rehearsal of the songs took Shinya one month, but the rythm section practiced for 10 days and then the full band played together for 6 days before the tour 22 Phalaris Vol. I started.

Shinya wanted the drumming to be as simple as possible since Oboro but he claims that the songs did not "allow" him to do so.

"It's quite normal: after listening to the demo, I'd type in a drum phrase that I thought of in my mind and sent that back to everyone else."

He got almost no feedback from the other members, they just ended up using his drum phrases as-is. Or that was the case for a few of the songs.

It can take him 2 hours to compose the drum phrase for a song on the computer, whereas if he tries it out on an electronic drum set first, it would take several days.

Shinya's inspirations pre-2005: Junji-san from SIAM SHADE, Mike Portnoy's drum set, tutorial videos by Terry Bozzio

Shinya watches a lot of Dir en grey drum cover videos on YouTube and he encourages people to try and copy his drumming accurately!

 The only way COVID-19 affected the production of the new album is that communication was reduced between members. Sometimes, a casual conversation in the dressing room on the day of a live show can lead to an idea for a song.

Kaoru composes using either a keyboard or a guitar.

The only concepts that were clear for all members while composing Phalaris were: dark, condensed and strong without anything wasted.

Kaoru came up with about 60 song ideas, some were very short, but he actually only shared a quarter of that with the rest of the band.
