Ultraviolet Flavor Transmission to T-Violating Neutrino Oscillation Observables in a Seesaw Framework with Sterile Mixing and Planck-Suppressed Corrections

This paper presents a numerically validated pipeline connecting a spontaneously CP-violating Type-I seesaw ultraviolet boundary condition to T-violating neutrino oscillation observables in a 3+1 sterile framework, demonstrating that Planck-suppressed corrections to these asymmetries are phenomenologically negligible and lie well below current experimental sensitivity.

Probing Dark Matter and Phantom Field Effects on Neutrino Oscillations around Black Holes

This study demonstrates that while dark matter in a phantom field background has minimal impact on radially moving neutrinos, it induces distinct phase shifts and parameter degeneracies for deflected neutrinos, thereby offering a potential avenue for probing dark matter properties through neutrino oscillations in extreme gravitational environments.

A Γ3\Gamma_{3} modular symmetric approach for two-zero textures in left-right symmetric model

This paper proposes a predictive left-right symmetric model utilizing A4A_4 modular symmetry without flavon fields to systematically construct and analyze all seven two-zero neutrino mass textures, identifying specific classes that successfully accommodate current neutrino data, reproduce the baryon asymmetry, and yield testable predictions for neutrinoless double beta decay.

Constraints on magnetic monopoles from X-ray observations of neutron stars

This paper utilizes archival X-ray observations of old isolated neutron stars to establish the most stringent constraints to date on the Galactic magnetic monopole flux for masses between 101110^{11} and 101310^{13} GeV/c², demonstrating that such observations provide a powerful probe for detecting monopole-induced heating via nucleon decay catalysis.

Neutrinoless Double-Beta Decays from Operator Mixing

This paper presents a complete one-loop Renormalization Group analysis within the Standard Model Effective Field Theory, demonstrating that operator mixing induces sizable contributions to neutrinoless double-beta decays from operators that are inactive at tree level, thereby establishing the most stringent constraints on numerous dimension-seven operators and highlighting the critical role of higher-order logarithmic effects.

Neutrino quantum kinetics for fast flavor conversion in a time-dependent environment

This paper investigates fast neutrino flavor conversions in a time-dependent supernova environment using self-consistent quantum kinetic equations, revealing a three-stage evolution where collisions and flavor instabilities interact to prevent the system from reaching a strongly unstable regime while ultimately producing flavor outcomes consistent with traditional two-step models.

Probing Memory-Burdened Primordial Black Holes with High-Energy Neutrinos

This paper investigates how the memory-burden effect allows lighter primordial black holes to survive and emit high-energy neutrinos, demonstrating that current IceCube data and future radio detectors can constrain these objects and distinguish between log-normal and monochromatic mass distributions, with the former's low-mass tails providing stronger constraints and clearer signals.

Correlated low-energy constants in large-NcN_c chiral perturbation theory

This paper demonstrates that the operator structure of the large-NcN_c chiral Lagrangian induces specific correlations among low-energy constants (such as F0F_0, L4L_4, and C16C_{16}), necessitating a reinterpretation of phenomenological and lattice results in terms of these correlated directions to ensure consistent precision studies in U(3) chiral perturbation theory.

Topological analysis of scale-invariant spatial fluctuations in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions

This paper presents a novel two-stage topological machine learning framework that combines Topological Data Analysis with deep learning to successfully isolate weak critical fluctuation signals from overwhelming non-critical backgrounds in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions, thereby restoring power-law scaling and enabling the reliable identification of the QCD critical point.
