Still Accelerating: Type Ia supernova cosmology is robust to host galaxy age evolution

Type Ia supernovae are a cornerstone of modern cosmology, providing first evidence for cosmic acceleration and new tests of dark energy. Son et al. 2025 (S25) claim a strong redshift evolution in standardized supernova luminosities driven by supernova progenitor age, with dramatic cosmological implications: rapidly evolving dark...

Soliton dynamics in the ABS nonlinear spinor model with external fields

We consider the novel nonlinear model in (1 + 1)-dimensions for Dirac spinors recently introduced by Alexeeva, Barashenkov, and Saxena [1] (ABS model), which admits an exact explicit solitary-wave (soliton for short) solution. The charge, the momentum, and the energy of this solution are conserved. We investigate the dynamics of the...

Entanglement entropy and disorder operator at kagome deconfined quantum criticality

We investigate the deconfined quantum critical point (DQCP) candidate in the extended hard-core Bose-Hubbard model on the kagome lattice, employing quantum Monte Carlo simulations to study the entanglement entropy and the $U(1)$ disorder operator. In stark contrast to findings in $J$-$Q$ models and other candidates, the universal...

Evolution of Vortex Strings after a Thermal Quench in a Holographic Superfluid

The formation of topological defects during continuous phase transitions exhibits nonequilibrium universality. While the Kibble-Zurek mechanism (KZM) predicts universal scaling of point-like defect numbers under slow driving, the statistical properties of extended defects remain largely unexplored across both slow and fast protocols....

SIRIUS: Dark matter cusp evolution in dense dwarf galaxies

Dwarf galaxies have a wide variety of structures, such as dark matter (DM) distribution, stellar-to-halo mass ratio, and stellar density. Recent high-resolution simulations have shown a variety of stellar-to-halo mass ratios for dwarf galaxies with a DM halo mass of $\sim 10^9 M_{\odot}$ at $z=0$. In this study, we performed...

On the Optimal Layout of Two-Dimensional Lattices for Density Matrix Renormalization Group

For quantum spin models defined on a two-dimensional lattice, we look for the best numbering of the lattice sites (a layout) that, at fixed bond dimension and other parameters of the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) algorithm, gives the lowest value of the variational energy, maximum entropy and truncation error. We...

Topological Anderson insulator and reentrant topological transitions in a mosaic trimer lattice

We study the topological properties of a one-dimensional quasiperiodic-potential-modulated mosaic trimer lattice.

Hamiltonian hydrodynamic reductions of one-dimensional Vlasov equations

We investigate Hamiltonian fluid reductions of the one-dimensional Vlasov-Poisson equation. Our approach utilizes the hydrodynamic Poisson bracket framework, which allows us to systematically identify fundamental normal variables derived from the analysis of the Casimir invariants of the resulting Poisson bracket. This framework is...

On-Chip Generation of Co-Polarized and Spectrally Separable Photon Pairs

On-chip generation of high-purity single photons is essential for scalable photonic quantum technologies. Spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) is widely used to generate photon pairs for heralded single-photon sources, but intrinsic spectral correlations of the pairs often limit the purity and interference visibility of the...

The Hamilton-Jacobi Equation and its Application to Nonlinear Beam Dynamics: Comparison of Approaches

The rarely used Hamilton-Jacobi equation has been utilized as an elegant way to find the trajectories of mechanical systems and to derive symplectic maps. Further, the exact solution in kick approximation of Hamilton's equations of motion in interaction representation is written as a generalized one-turn twist map. One can imagine...

Structure of Bound States with Coulomb plus Short-range Interaction

We study the structure of bound states appearing in systems governed by the Coulomb and short-range interactions. We analyze the binding energies and wave functions of the bound states generated by the Coulomb plus short-range potential. We demonstrate that Coulomb-induced shifts of the binding energy are closely correlated with the...

Determinants of Self-Interstitial Energetics in Refractory High-Entropy Alloys

Self-interstitials play a central role in governing the mechanical and anti-irradiation properties of refractory high-entropy alloys (RHEAs), however, the prediction of interstitial formation energies (Ef) is formidable due to the chemically complex environments in RHEAs. Herein, we develop a framework based on the tight-binding model...

Quasi-linear approach of bi-Kappa distributed electrons with dynamic $κ$ parameter. EMEC instability

In recent years, significant progress has been made in the velocity-moment-based quasi-linear (QL) theory of waves and instabilities in plasmas with nonequilibrium velocity distributions (VDs) of the Kappa (or $κ$) type. However, the temporal variation of the parameter $κ$, which quantifies the presence of suprathermal particles, is...
