We construct the causal fermion system for globally hyperbolic spacetimes starting in the framework of algebraic quantum field theory. The fermionic projector is identified with the one-particle density operator of a quasi-free Hadamard…
We study the Dirac equation in the Reissner-Nordstr\"om geometry in horizon-penetrating coordinates up to the Cauchy horizon. A mass decomposition theorem is proved, which gives a covariant representation of the spacetime inner product that…
This note studies the quantized corner structure of four-dimensional $BF$ theory, classifies the associated free and physical corner algebras and constructs possible representations. In the abelian case, for arbitrary closed oriented…
We evaluate the climate simulation capabilities of ArchesWeather and ArchesWeatherGen, two machine learning models originally trained for weather forecasting and evaluated up to a 10-day lead time. ArchesWeather is a deterministic model,…
Network psychometrics conceptualises psychological constructs as emergent properties of systems of interacting variables. Energy-based probabilistic models have gained popularity as models of these interactions, but their psychometric…
We study a determinantal Coulomb gas in the complex plane associated with the external potential $$ Q(z)=\frac{1}{1-\tau^2}\big(|z|^2-\tau \text{Re } z^2\big)-2c\log|z-a|, $$ where $\tau\in[0,1)$, $c\ge0$, and $a\ge0$. In the regimes where…
The upper few meters of the ocean play a key role in air-sea exchanges of momentum and energy. Two important properties of this layer are the vertical shear of current velocity and the surface velocity. Vertical shear reflects momentum…
It is well known that band inversion across a straight interface in a periodic medium gives rise to interface modes that are localized near the interface and propagate along it inside the bulk spectral gap. This phenomenon constitutes the…
Tropical cyclone (TC) trajectories are governed by large-scale steering flows with sensitive dependence on initial conditions, raising the question of whether targeted perturbations can induce track deviations. We present a case study…
We investigate constrained quantum motion on curves and surfaces using connection factorization methods. We show that Laplace operators admit an exact half-connection factorization generated by connection one-forms. The first-order part of…
Timelike Liouville field theory is a candidate model for positive curvature two-dimensional quantum gravity, but a mathematically controlled Lorentzian formulation has remained elusive. In this paper we construct the theory on the cylinder…
Observations from the RAPID array near 26.5$^\circ$N indicate a linear decline in the AMOC over the past two decades, linked to contrasting boundary changes: a weakening western boundary contribution partly compensated by strengthening at…
In the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom, the energy levels are a negative constant divided by the square of the level number. It is well known that special pairs of transitions exist that have the same energy difference, and a systematic…
We consider a certain first-order linear system of ordinary differential equations, and we analyze the direct and inverse scattering problems for that linear system. The linear system involves two potentials in the Schwartz class, and those…
Using direct methods of the calculus of variations we establish the existence of an infinite class of spherically-symmetric solutions to the multi-field Schr\"odinger-Poisson system. This is achieved by proving that the energy functional…
In this paper, we focus on the two-component (2+1)-dimensional Fokas-Lenells equation, which models the propagation of ultrashort optical pulses in nonlinear media with multi-mode interactions and multi-dimensional effects. Firstly, we…
The string hypothesis of Bethe roots is a cornerstone in the thermodynamic analysis of quantum integrable systems, since it connects root configurations with physical quantities such as the ground-state energy, surface energy and excitation…
We introduce classical and non-deterministic finite automata associated with representations of the braid group. After briefly reviewing basic definitions on finite automata, Coxeter's groups and the associated word problem, we turn to the…
The classical definitions of the Incipient Infinite Cluster (IIC) of percolation consist in conditioning the origin on being connected to radius $n$ and letting $n$ go to infinity. We provide a short proof of that convergence in the planar…
Consider a non-relativistic quantum particle with wave function $\psi$ in a bounded $C^2$ region $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$, and suppose detectors are placed along the boundary $\partial \Omega$. Assume the detection process is…
