Sliding of cylindrical shell into a rigid hole

This paper presents an analytical model based on elastica theory with contact friction to predict the three distinct sliding modes (Folding, Pinning, and Unfolding) of a naturally curved cylindrical shell entering a rigid hole, offering a validated framework that replaces empirical snap-fit design with a predictive understanding of the interplay between elasticity, geometry, and friction.

Error Resilience of Fracton Codes and Near Saturation of Code-Capacity Threshold in Three Dimensions

By employing statistical-mechanical mapping and large-scale Monte Carlo simulations, this study determines that the checkerboard fracton code achieves an optimal code capacity threshold of approximately 10.7%, the highest among known three-dimensional codes and nearly saturating the theoretical limit, thereby validating generalized entropy relations and confirming the high error resilience of fracton codes as quantum memories.

Unraveling Lithium Dynamics in Solid Electrolyte Interphase: From Graph Contrastive Learning to Transport Pathways

This paper introduces GET-SEI, a general framework combining graph contrastive learning, extended dynamic mode decomposition, and transition path theory to automatically characterize local atomic environments and quantify lithium transport kinetics and pathways across diverse solid-state electrolyte/lithium metal interfaces for targeted SEI engineering.

Low-temperature transition of 2d random-bond Ising model and quantum infinite randomness

This paper demonstrates that the low-temperature ferromagnet-to-paramagnet transition in the two-dimensional random-bond Ising model is controlled by a zero-temperature fixed point that can be understood via a renormalization group mapping to a noninteracting quantum problem exhibiting an infinite randomness fixed point, where the tunneling exponent equals the spin stiffness exponent.

Krylov complexity and Wightman power spectrum with positive chemical potential in Schrödinger field theory

This paper investigates Krylov complexity in Schrödinger field theory with positive chemical potential, revealing that the resulting single-sided, truncated Wightman spectrum induces a dynamical transition in Lanczos coefficients that drives a crossover from early-time hyperbolic growth to late-time quadratic complexity growth.

From QED3_3 to Self-Dual Multicriticality in the Fradkin-Shenker Model

This paper proposes a continuum QED3_3 description with emergent symmetries for the multicritical point in a staggered Fradkin-Shenker model, demonstrating how it connects to the original model and establishing a duality with the easy-plane CP1\mathbb{CP}^1 model that implies a deconfined quantum multicritical point separating a gapped Z2\mathbb{Z}_2 spin liquid from a Néel phase.
