Heterotic horizons and AdS3_3 backgrounds that preserve 6 supersymmetries

This paper utilizes topological arguments to prove that heterotic horizons preserving six supersymmetries must have spatial sections diffeomorphic to SU(3)SU(3), while simultaneously demonstrating the non-existence of such heterotic AdS3_3 solutions under compactness assumptions, and further re-examines the conditions for four-supersymmetry backgrounds in light of recent Calabi-Yau manifold classifications.

Non-minimally coupled loop quantum inflation with inverse-volume corrections

This paper investigates non-minimally coupled scalar field inflation within Loop Quantum Cosmology with inverse-volume corrections, demonstrating that the model's predictions for inflationary observables align with current observational data while the non-minimal coupling significantly enhances the probability of achieving sufficient inflation by enlarging the favorable phase-space volume.

The Maxwell-Higgs System with Scalar Potential on Subextremal Kerr Spacetimes: Nonlinear wave operators and asymptotic completeness

This paper establishes the existence of nonlinear wave operators and proves small-data asymptotic completeness for the Maxwell-Higgs system with scalar potential on subextremal Kerr spacetimes by constructing a gauge-invariant scattering map that relies on a transfer principle from linear estimates, provided the absence of superradiant instability.

Casimir Effect for a Massive Scalar Field in Lorentz-Violating Aether Compactification

This paper investigates the Casimir effect for a massive scalar field in a five-dimensional Lorentz-violating aether compactification, deriving closed-form expressions that reveal how the quasiperiodic parameter β\beta controls the transition between attractive and repulsive forces, while the Lorentz-violating parameter αϕ\alpha_\phi amplifies vacuum interactions and the compactification ratio a/ba/b stabilizes the system, particularly in high-compactification regimes.

Holographic QCD and quarkonium melting: Finite temperature, density, and external field effects in self-consistent dynamical models

This dissertation employs self-consistent holographic Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton and Einstein-Born-Infeld-dilaton models to investigate the mass spectra and melting dynamics of heavy and exotic mesons under finite temperature, baryon density, and external magnetic fields, revealing sequential dissociation patterns and anisotropic magnetic catalysis effects.

Dyonic hairy black holes in U(1)U(1) gauge-invariant scalar-vector-tensor theories: Cubic and quartic interactions

The authors construct and classify asymptotically flat dyonic hairy black hole solutions in U(1) gauge-invariant scalar-vector-tensor theories with cubic and quartic interactions, demonstrating that magnetic charge activates specific interaction sectors to generate new solution branches and requires consistency conditions to ensure the field equations remain second-order.

Magnetic moments of strange hidden-bottom pentaquarks and the role of spin flavor correlations

This study investigates the magnetic moments of strange hidden-bottom pentaquark states within the constituent quark model across molecular and compact configurations, finding that their electromagnetic properties are primarily governed by global spin–flavor correlations and light–strange quark dynamics rather than specific internal clustering details due to heavy-quark mass suppression.
