Uncertainty quantification and stability of neural operators for prediction of three-dimensional turbulence

This study introduces a factorized-implicit Fourier Neural Operator (F-IFNO) framework that enhances long-term stability and accuracy in predicting three-dimensional turbulence by integrating uncertainty quantification and error propagation analysis to overcome the limitations of traditional models and existing neural operators.

Unifying renormalized and bare viscosity in two-dimensional molecular dynamics simulations

This paper utilizes two-dimensional molecular dynamics simulations to introduce a wavenumber-dependent viscosity that unifies renormalized and bare viscosity by demonstrating how equilibrium stress correlations diverge at small wavenumbers while determining bare viscosity at large wavenumbers, thereby bridging mesoscopic fluctuations and macroscopic transport through microscopic dynamics.

Structured Kolmogorov-Arnold Neural ODEs for Interpretable Learning and Symbolic Discovery of Nonlinear Dynamics

This paper introduces Structured Kolmogorov-Arnold Neural ODEs (SKANODEs), a framework that combines structured state-space modeling with Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks to accurately recover interpretable physical latent states and discover compact symbolic governing equations for nonlinear dynamical systems, outperforming black-box neural ODEs and classical identification methods across synthetic and real-world datasets.

Linear Acceleration Is a Primary Risk Factor for Concussion

This study challenges the prevailing hypothesis that rotational acceleration is the primary cause of concussion by demonstrating through direct in vivo measurements that linear acceleration is a significantly more precise predictor of injury, leading to the development of a liquid shock-absorbing helmet technology that could reduce concussion risk by up to 73%.

Localization Transition for Interacting Quantum Particles in Colored-Noise Disorder

This paper investigates the localization transition of interacting particles in one-dimensional correlated disorder with vanishing backward scattering, using renormalization group methods and numerical simulations to demonstrate that the transition point shifts to the non-interacting limit and that the localization length scaling deviates from conventional behavior.

Quivers and BPS states in 3d and 4d

This paper proposes and rigorously establishes a symmetrization relation between 4d N=2\mathcal{N}=2 BPS quivers and 3d N=2\mathcal{N}=2 symmetric quivers, demonstrating that the wall-crossing structure of 4d Argyres-Douglas theories is isomorphic to the unlinking of their 3d counterparts and that these symmetric quivers successfully capture the Schur indices of the original 4d theories.

Photon surfaces extensions for dynamical gravitational collapse

This paper reformulates the photon surface condition in spherical symmetry as a non-autonomous dynamical system to demonstrate its extension along null radial geodesics, applying this framework to a collapsing dust cloud to show that the photon surface uniquely continues as a null hypersurface into the interior spacetime, thereby enabling an analytical investigation of singularity coverage in the LTB model.

Confinement, deconfinement, and bound states in the spin-$1andspin and spin-3/2$ generalizations of the Majumdar--Ghosh chain

This study employs advanced numerical and theoretical techniques to reveal that while spin-$1/2chainsaredominatedbyspinoncontinua,higherspin( chains are dominated by spinon continua, higher-spin (S=1, 3/2$) generalizations of the Majumdar--Ghosh chain exhibit prominent magnon modes and a universal phenomenon of spinon confinement into bound states across first-order phase transitions, thereby establishing a unified quasiparticle framework for understanding excitations in frustrated quantum spin chains.

Competing and Intertwined Orders in Boson-Doped Mott Antiferromagnets

Using large-scale density matrix renormalization group simulations of the bosonic tt-tt'-JJ model, this study reveals six distinct quantum phases—including pair density waves and phase-separated ferromagnetic domains—arising from the competition between doped holes and antiferromagnetic order, while proposing a concrete experimental realization in Rydberg tweezer arrays to explore these intertwined orders relevant to high-TcT_c superconductivity.
