Scalable physics-informed deep generative model for solving forward and inverse stochastic differential equations

This paper proposes a scalable physics-informed deep generative model (sPI-GeM) that overcomes the limitations of existing methods by effectively solving forward and inverse stochastic differential equations in high-dimensional stochastic and spatial spaces through a combination of physics-informed basis networks and a deep generative model.

Magneto-νν: Heavy neutral lepton search using 241^{241}Pu ββ^- decays

The MAGNETO-ν\nu experiment utilized a high-statistics measurement of 241^{241}Pu β\beta^- decays with metallic magnetic calorimeters to find no evidence for keV-scale heavy neutral leptons, thereby establishing an upper limit of Ue42<1.31×103|U_{e4}|^2 < 1.31 \times 10^{-3} at 95% confidence for an 11.5-keV HNL mixing with the electron neutrino.

Comparing top-down and bottom-up holographic defects and boundaries

This paper compares top-down and bottom-up holographic constructions of conformal defects and boundaries in AdS/CFT by analyzing bulk point singularities in correlation functions, demonstrating that D3/D5 boundary CFTs can only be modeled by specific tension configurations of end-of-the-world branes and providing a calculation of the central charge bb for M2/M5 boundary CFTs.

Turbulence-induced anti-Stokes flow: experiments and theory

This paper presents experimental evidence and a supporting theoretical model demonstrating that the interaction between surface waves and ambient sub-surface turbulence generates a near-surface Eulerian-mean flow that opposes and partially cancels the Stokes drift, thereby significantly altering the vertical redistribution of momentum and the transport of water-borne materials in the ocean.

Simply Connected Topology in Perturbed Vortices and Field-Reversed Configurations

This paper demonstrates that arbitrarily small odd-parity perturbations fundamentally alter the topology of zero-helicity vortices and field-reversed configurations by transforming their interior flux surfaces from toroidal to simply connected, thereby necessitating a revision of established models in both fusion confinement physics and fluid dynamics.

Classical theory of electron-ion correlations at electrochemical interfaces: Closing the circuit from double-layer charging to ion adsorption

This paper presents a classical theory derived from first-principles statistical mechanics that incorporates electron-ion correlation effects via image charges to quantitatively explain experimental double-layer capacitance data and unify the phenomena of double-layer charging and ion adsorption.
