All-Loop Renormalization and the Phase of the de Sitter Wavefunction

This paper demonstrates that for shift-symmetric scalars in de Sitter space, a quantum anomaly in renormalization forces the late-time wavefunction to acquire an imaginary part that is entirely determined by its renormalization scale dependence to all loop orders, thereby establishing an infinite set of relations among correlators of massless fields and their conjugate momenta.

Sensitivity of Jet Observables to Molière Scattering Off Quasiparticles in Quark-Gluon Plasma

This paper presents a full calculation of Molière scattering between jet partons and QGP quasiparticles implemented within the Hybrid Model, demonstrating that photon-tagged jets serve as a sensitive probe for detecting distinctive experimental signatures of these hard scatterings through their impact on jet substructure observables like the Soft Drop angle and jet girth.

Field Quantisations in Schwarzschild Spacetime: Theory versus Low-Energy Experiments

This paper demonstrates that the propagator of a Hawking particle in the far-horizon region of Schwarzschild spacetime, derived using quantum field theory in curved spacetime, differs from the result obtained via the path-integral formalism, thereby highlighting a theoretical discrepancy between the standard description of high-energy quantum fields in curved spacetime and the low-energy quantum mechanical phenomena observed in Earth's gravitational field.

Quantum state tomography, entanglement detection and Bell violation prospects in weak decays of massive particles

This paper presents a general method for reconstructing the spin density matrix of multi-particle systems from angular decay data using Bloch parameterization and Wigner-Weyl transforms, and applies it to Monte Carlo simulations of massive particle decays to propose measurements for detecting entanglement and Bell inequality violations.

Capacity of Entanglement and Replica Backreaction in RST Gravity

This paper analytically computes the capacity of entanglement in the Russo-Susskind-Thorlacius (RST) model of two-dimensional dilaton gravity, revealing that while single-interval capacity remains time-independent, the global replica backreaction induces a time-dependent capacity for two intervals that signals non-uniform saddle competition and sharp features at the Page transition.

Quantum Simulation of Massive Relativistic Fields in 2 + 1 Dimensions

This paper reports the quantum simulation of massive relativistic fields in 2+1 dimensions using a two-component Bose-Einstein condensate to encode the sine-Gordon model, successfully demonstrating both tunable relativistic dispersion in the perturbative regime and non-perturbative topological domain walls.

Analytic formulae for non-local magic in bipartite systems of qutrits and ququints

This paper conjectures analytic expressions for the non-local magic of bipartite pure qudit states with prime local dimensions, supported by numerical evidence for qutrits and ququints, while demonstrating that these expressions fail for composite dimensions and that established qubit relations between non-local magic and entanglement do not generalize to higher-dimensional systems.

On the rigidity of special and exceptional geometries with torsion a closed $3$-form

This paper establishes that Riemannian manifolds admitting a connection with closed, covariantly constant torsion decompose locally into a product of a semisimple Lie group and a torsion-free manifold, a result used to simplify proofs for special geometries like KT and HKT manifolds and to fully characterize the geometry of complete, simply connected G2G_2, Spin(7)\mathrm{Spin}(7), and compact 8-dimensional HKT manifolds under these conditions.

WKB-asymptotics for multipoint Virasoro conformal blocks and applications

This paper derives WKB-asymptotic expressions for multipoint Virasoro conformal blocks in the comb channel on the sphere by applying the WKB method to the classical BPZ equation, validating the results against known exact solutions and AGT correspondence while demonstrating their utility for generalizing Zamolodchikov's elliptic recursion and numerically evaluating minimal string theory amplitudes.
