Modified Teukolsky formalism: Null testing and numerical benchmarking

This paper validates a modified Teukolsky framework for predicting gravitational-wave ringdown spectra in effective field theories by successfully passing two rigorous null tests and confirming consistency between two independent numerical methods, thereby establishing its reliability for future strong-field tests of General Relativity.

Sequential Quantum Measurements and the Instrumental Group Algebra

This paper introduces the instrumental group algebra (IGA) as a Banach algebra framework for sequential quantum measurements, demonstrating that the time-dependent Kraus-operator density (KOD) evolves via a classical Kolmogorov equation and that combining instruments corresponds to convolution within the IGA, thereby providing a unified mathematical structure for observables that cannot be measured by orthogonal projections.

Stationary Particle Creation and Entanglement in the Rotating Teo Wormhole: A Quantum Mode-Mixing Approach

This paper demonstrates that massless scalar fields in a rotating Teo wormhole undergo stationary particle creation and entanglement via geometrically induced, asymmetric vacuum mode mixing, which acts as a non-dynamical analogue of the Asymmetric Dynamical Casimir Effect driven by frame dragging rather than time-dependent boundaries.

Approximate QCAs in one dimension using approximate algebras

This paper demonstrates that in one dimension, every approximate quantum cellular automaton on a finite system can be rounded to an exact quantum cellular automaton with nearly identical local action, thereby proving that approximate QCAs are classified by the same index as exact ones through a novel local construction based on robust subalgebra intersections and Kitaev's rigidity theorem.

On the ground state of the nonlinear Schr{ö}dinger equation: asymptotic behavior at the endpoint powers

This paper investigates the asymptotic behavior of ground states for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation at endpoint powers, proving strong convergence with explicit bounds to a Gaussian "Gausson" in the logarithmic limit and to an Aubin-Talenti algebraic soliton in dimensions three and higher.

Quiescent Big Bang formation in $2+1$ dimensions

This paper proves that (2+1)(2+1)-dimensional solutions to the Einstein scalar-field Vlasov system, initially close to FLRW spacetimes on closed surfaces of arbitrary genus, exhibit stable Big Bang singularities with quiescent, velocity-term-dominated asymptotics and C2C^2-inextendibility, thereby establishing the Strong Cosmic Censorship conjecture for a corresponding class of polarized U(1)U(1)-symmetric vacuum solutions.
