This paper establishes a formal correspondence between topological quantum neural networks (TQNNs), which implement universal quantum computation and error correction via Reshetikhin-Turaev and Turaev-Viro models, and amplituhedra, thereby demonstrating that amplituhedra serve as geometric representations of generic quantum processes rooted in underlying topological structures.
This paper proposes an optimized search strategy using displaced vertex signatures without prompt leptons to significantly improve current LHC constraints on heavy neutral leptons coupled to the tau-neutrino flavor, potentially enhancing sensitivity by up to three orders of magnitude with future high-luminosity data.
This paper employs the semi-classical BPS Skyrme model to accurately compute electromagnetic and neutral current form factors for heavy nuclei using only a single global radial parameter, offering a robust alternative to phenomenological approaches that is crucial for reducing systematic uncertainties in precision neutrino experiments.
This paper proposes the Quarkyonic Quark-Meson Coupling (QQMC) model, which unites the dual quarkyonic model with the quark-meson coupling framework to describe nuclear and neutron matter across a wide density range, successfully resolving singular behaviors at the quark saturation density and reproducing observational data from neutron stars and heavy-ion collisions.
This paper develops a comprehensive path-integral framework for thermal gauge theories in rotating plasmas with arbitrary temperature, chemical potentials, and angular momentum, deriving generalized KMS conditions and demonstrating that while thermal propagators are modified by these parameters, interaction vertices remain unaltered.
This paper proposes using simple, inexpensive hydrogenated carbon structures as highly sensitive, directional detectors capable of identifying sub-GeV dark matter through the ejection of protons with minimal energy thresholds.
Motivated by recent near-threshold enhancements in top-quark pair production, this paper utilizes the instantaneous Bethe-Salpeter formalism to calculate the S-wave spectral structures of heavy-light systems containing a single top quark (, , and ), interpreting the resulting masses as model-dependent reference positions for quasi-bound configurations rather than conventional hadrons due to the top quark's rapid decay.
This paper proposes a modification to the Standard Model where the photon's longitudinal component propagates at an extremely slow speed, breaking Lorentz symmetry and causing charged particles to experience severe momentum-recoils that constrain this speed to be less than , effectively turning the preferred reference frame into a material medium that absorbs momentum from matter.
Using particle-in-cell simulations, this study demonstrates that non-linear electrostatic plasma instabilities in self-interacting dark matter subhalos orbiting the Milky Way can cause substantial turbulent heating and mass loss, potentially suppressing the low-mass subhalo population by up to 97% depending on orbital eccentricity.
This paper explores how combining dark dimension scenarios with an axiverse modifies cosmology by enabling freeze-in production of dark matter from Kaluza-Klein towers and suppressing observational constraints through energy dilution across numerous axion towers.
