Competing and Intertwined Orders in Boson-Doped Mott Antiferromagnets

Using large-scale density matrix renormalization group simulations of the bosonic $t$ - $t'$ - $J$ 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- $T_c$ superconductivity.

Singularity and differentiability at the origin of static and spherically symmetric black holes

This paper establishes a central theorem that determines the necessary conditions on metric functions for the finiteness of all curvature invariants at the origin of static, spherically symmetric black holes, thereby defining the differentiability class and extendibility of such spacetimes in a model-independent, non-linear regime.

Strain-tunable anomalous Hall effect in hexagonal MnTe

This study demonstrates that applying uniaxial strain to hexagonal $\alpha$ -MnTe detwins its magnetic domains, thereby enabling precise control over the anomalous Hall effect, including the ability to reverse its sign near room temperature, by modifying the electronic Berry curvature without altering the material's altermagnetic phase-transition temperature.

Knight shift measurements probing Fermi surface changes under pressure in CeRhIn $_5$

NMR Knight shift measurements on CeRhIn $_5$ under pressure reveal that the suppression of the dipolar component at the In(1) site and the resulting pressure dependence of the shift are driven by an increase in 4f electron content at the Fermi surface, reflecting electronic structure changes near a Kondo breakdown quantum critical point.

Particles before symmetry

This paper extends a geometry-first formulation of the Standard Model to spontaneous symmetry breaking and Yukawa couplings, demonstrating how these mechanisms can be explained through purely geometric terms that offer a more general and transparent account of charge quantization than traditional symmetry-based approaches.

RG theory of spontaneous stochasticity for Sabra model of turbulence

This paper develops a renormalization group framework to demonstrate that the phenomenon of spontaneous stochasticity in fluctuating Sabra turbulence models arises from a universal complex fixed point, which governs the slow, oscillatory convergence of solutions to a stochastic process in the ideal limit regardless of specific dissipation or noise types.

Constraints on new physics from decays of polarized $Λ_b^0$ baryons at the FCC-ee

This paper demonstrates that utilizing the unique polarization of $\Lambda_b^0$ baryons produced in $Z^0$ decays at the FCC-ee, despite comparable statistical sensitivity to LHCb Upgrade II for individual observables, significantly improves constraints on the Wilson coefficients $C_{9^{(\prime)}}$ and $C_{10^{(\prime)}}$ through a broader set of accessible angular observables.

Bayesian Inference for PDE-based Inverse Problems using the Optimization of a Discrete Loss

This paper introduces B-ODIL, a Bayesian extension of the Optimization of a Discrete Loss (ODIL) method that integrates PDE-based prior knowledge with data likelihood to solve inverse problems with quantified uncertainties, demonstrating its effectiveness through synthetic benchmarks and a clinical application for estimating brain tumor concentration from MRI scans.

Note on Jackson's formalism of gauge transformation

This paper outlines Jackson's derivation of the inhomogeneous wave equations for auxiliary functions $\Psi$ and $\mathbf{V}$ in his 2002 AJP paper, clarifying their distinct roles in transforming the Lorenz-gauge vector potential to the Coulomb gauge by showing that $\mathbf{A}_C$ results from subtracting $\nabla\Psi$ from $\mathbf{A}_L$ rather than being given directly by $\nabla\times\mathbf{V}$ .

Backreactions from loading the stable photon sphere in Weyl conformal gravity

This paper investigates the backreactions of null matter loading onto the stable photon sphere in Weyl conformal gravity, revealing that the sphere's area remains invariant and that a critical loading threshold can generate an extremal horizon with AdS $_2\times$ S $^2$ geometry, a phenomenon distinct from standard nonconformal metrics.

Impurity-controlled vortex mobility and pair-breaking in fermionic superfluid rings

Using time-dependent density functional theory, this study reveals how impurity density and size govern the dissipation of persistent currents in fermionic superfluid rings by modulating the critical winding number for vortex emission and establishing distinct mobility regimes below and above the pair-breaking threshold.

On the degrees of freedom of spatially covariant vector field theory

This paper investigates spatially covariant vector field theories on a flat background by performing a Hamiltonian constraint analysis to derive necessary and sufficient degeneracy conditions that eliminate the extra longitudinal degree of freedom, thereby identifying three distinct classes of theories that reduce the propagating modes from three to two, with Maxwell theory emerging as a special Lorentz-invariant case within the third class.

The Double-Copy Root of Hawking Thermality

This paper demonstrates that the thermal nature of Hawking radiation in gravity is the double-copy dual of charge thermality in non-abelian gauge theory, where the radiation spectrum is thermal in color charge eigenvalues rather than energy, emerging from the product of a Planck-like factor and a Wigner semicircle color phase space density.

Temperature transformation recovering the compressible law of the wall for turbulent channel flow

This paper proposes new Van Driest-type and semi-local-type temperature transformations for compressible turbulent channel flow, derived from momentum and energy balance analyses, which successfully recover the incompressible law of the wall with high accuracy by accounting for mixing length effects, body force work, and turbulent kinetic energy flux.
