This paper demonstrates that fundamental quantum speed limits, traditionally viewed as computational constraints, can be operationally leveraged in a semi-device-independent prepare-and-measure scenario to generate certified randomness secure against adversaries, even without assumptions about the specific devices or Hamiltonians involved.
Using DESI DR2 BAO measurements, this paper constrains a model of interacting dark matter and radiation that induces bulk viscosity to resolve cosmic tensions, finding that the data disfavors such interactions prior to recombination and rules out the model as a solution to the Hubble tension.
This paper develops a machine learning-based analytical emulator to model the baryon density distribution within fuzzy dark matter solitons, successfully reproducing empirical profiles with high accuracy and offering a viable alternative to explicit equations of motion for studying soliton formation and evolution.
This paper demonstrates that type II loci in the moduli space of type IIB string theory compactified on Calabi-Yau manifolds arise from integrating out a non-perturbative sector of light electric and magnetic states, which admits an effective weakly-coupled infrared description via a complex-charged BPS state and implies the existence of infrared emergent infinite distance loci in quantum gravity.
This paper proposes a positivity-constraint-free bootstrap approximation method for the Hermitian one-matrix model that numerically determines a self-consistent eigenvalue distribution and moments by minimizing least-squares errors, successfully reproducing exact Euclidean solutions and perturbative Minkowski results without encountering a sign problem.
This paper investigates multipartite entanglement in pure BTZ black hole states within AdS/CFT using multi-entropy and Steiner trees, revealing a high-temperature volume-law scaling for genuine tripartite entanglement, a phase transition when a subsystem exceeds half the total size, and nontrivial radial cutoff dependencies that contrast with vacuum AdS behavior.
This review outlines the fundamental theory and numerical methods for modeling the coupled magnetic and thermal evolution of isolated neutron stars, providing benchmark tests and discussing recent advancements from axisymmetric to fully three-dimensional simulations to explain their diverse observational properties.
This paper systematically bridges the gap between continuum topological field theory and microscopic lattice constructions of three-dimensional non-Abelian topological orders by explicitly deriving fusion and shrinking rules for the quantum double model, thereby establishing a precise correspondence with a field theory with an twist and resolving long-standing skepticism regarding its microscopic realizability.
This paper establishes that a one-parameter generalization of the six-vertex model on planar graphs, known as the seven-vertex model, provides a non-perturbative realization of sine-Liouville gravity through its matrix model formulation, which complements Matrix Quantum Mechanics by covering parameter regimes where the latter lacks a simple interpretation and exhibits a gravitational flow analogous to the massless flow in the sine-Gordon model.
This paper utilizes superradiant instabilities in rotating black holes triggered by ultra-light spin-2 fields from warped extra dimensions to derive stringent constraints on the size of the extra dimension and AdS curvature in the Randall-Sundrum model, with significant implications for constructing metastable de Sitter vacua in string theory.
This paper investigates how dark matter environments, including minispikes and NFW haloes, modify the nonlinear gravitational memory of intermediate-mass-ratio binaries through effects like dynamical friction and accretion, ultimately demonstrating that these astrophysical surroundings leave a detectable hereditary imprint on gravitational wave signals that could be observed by future space-based detectors.
This paper extends the study of regularization scheme dependence in supersymmetric sigma models to the five-loop order, identifying a specific renormalization scheme where the fifth-loop contribution vanishes and the fourth-loop term becomes a coordinate-independent invariant for models such as complete -duals of -deformed and - or -deformed and models.
This paper proposes specific boundary terms for the supergravity action on spacetimes to render the on-shell action and stress tensor finite, demonstrating that TsT-transformed backgrounds reproduce the thermodynamic and trace flow properties of single-trace -deformed CFTs.
This paper introduces "cosmological dressing rules" that transform flat space Feynman diagrams into in-in correlators for conformally coupled and massless scalar theories in four-dimensional de Sitter space, thereby revealing a hidden simplicity linked to flat space scattering amplitudes while correctly reproducing infrared divergences predicted by the Schwinger-Keldysh formalism.
Motivated by recent DESI DR2 results suggesting evolving dark energy, this study analyzes spatially flat FLRW cosmological models with non-minimally coupled scalar fields in the Einstein frame, employing dynamical system methods to examine the evolution and stability of five specific scalar field models under various coupling parameters to understand energy transfer between the scalar sector and matter.
This paper proves the BRST Noether 1.5th theorem for a broad class of rank-1 BV theories, demonstrating that BRST Noether currents decompose into exact and corner terms to derive gauge-independent S-matrix invariance, while introducing a novel charge bracket to resolve the non-integrability of asymptotic symmetry charges and provide a canonical representation of their algebra.
This paper theoretically and numerically demonstrates that acoustic black holes fabricated from solid materials exhibit superradiance under general conditions, though with significantly weaker amplification than regular cylinders due to material absorption, while also showing behavior consistent with extremal Kerr black holes and offering superior design flexibility.
This paper provides a complete classification of finite-rank conformal Hamiltonians in one-dimensional quantum mechanics by establishing their conformal symmetry conditions, demonstrating that their correlation functions are homogeneous polynomials determined by the one-dimensional conformal Ward identities.
This paper introduces a new class of interacting dark sector models where dark matter's intrinsic entropy couples to scalar field dark energy, preserving the standard expansion history while generating distinctive, scale-dependent signatures in cosmological perturbations and structure growth that remain compatible with current observations.
This paper introduces a path integral-based method to directly compute reduced density matrices in open quantum systems, applying it to a scalar field model and a neutrino toy model to demonstrate how initial Fock state correlations and lighter neutrino masses lead to significant distortions in particle number probabilities due to environmental interactions.
