The Generalized Dirac Oscillator in Doubly Special Relativity: A Complexified Morse Interaction

This paper investigates the one-dimensional Generalized Dirac Oscillator within Doubly Special Relativity frameworks, demonstrating how complexified Morse interactions yield real spectra through pseudo-Hermiticity and PT\mathcal{PT} symmetry while revealing distinct deformation effects on the energy spectrum under Magueijo--Smolin and Amelino--Camelia prescriptions.

A relation between the HOMFLY-PT and Kauffman polynomials via characters

This paper establishes a relationship between HOMFLY-PT and Kauffman polynomials for specific knot classes using Birman-Murakami-Wenzl algebra characters to prove a conjectured correspondence with Harer-Zagier factorisability for 3-strand knots, while demonstrating through 4-strand counterexamples that this correspondence does not hold universally for knots with higher braid indices.

The Evolution of Eco-routing under Population Growth: Evidence from Six U.S. Cities

This study analyzes the long-term effectiveness of eco-routing under population growth in six U.S. cities, revealing that while emissions scale superlinearly with population and eco-routing creates carbon bottlenecks, targeted capacity expansion on these critical links significantly reduces both emissions and travel time without compromising routing efficiency.

Empirical Universal Scaling of Neutron-Skin Curvature Across the Nuclear Chart

This paper demonstrates that an empirical, dimensionless "neutron-skin curvature" derived from experimental charge radii collapses data from over 800 nuclei across 88 elements onto a single universal curve when plotted against normalized neutron excess, revealing a robust geometric scaling law that accounts for 88% of the variance without requiring element-specific tuning or interaction models.

NMR evidence of spin supersolid and Pomeranchuk effect behaviors in the triangular-lattice antiferromagnet Rb2_2Ni2_2(SeO3_3)3_3

Through high-field 85^{85}Rb NMR measurements on the triangular-lattice antiferromagnet Rb2_2Ni2_2(SeO3_3)3_3, the study provides evidence for a magnetic up-up-down phase and two distinct gapless regimes consistent with spin supersolid phases, while revealing a unique negative slope in the UUD-V phase boundary driven by strong low-energy spin fluctuations.

Separation induced transition in a low pressure turbine under varying compressibility

This study utilizes high-fidelity direct numerical simulations to demonstrate that increasing inlet Mach numbers in a low-pressure turbine cascade systematically reduces separation bubble sizes and accelerates transition to turbulence, yet paradoxically increases profile losses by altering the transition pathway from spanwise rolls to streak-dominated bypass mechanisms.
