We compute the $\mathbb{C}$-motivic Adams spectral sequence for $\mathit{mmf}/\tau$. Up to reindexing, this spectral sequence is isomorphic to the algebraic Novikov spectral sequence for topological modular forms. We give a full analysis of…

Exceptional points (EPs) are singular points on a parameter space at which some eigenvalues (scattering poles) and their corresponding eigenmodes coalesce. This study shows the existence of second- and third-order EPs in cylindrical elastic…

We report two types of singularities that arise from fluctuations during the formation of charge- or spin-density waves. The first is the exceptional point (EP), corresponding to a higher-order pole of the retarded Green's function. Such…

The electron dynamics of the topological surface state on Bi2Se3(111) is investigated by temperature-dependent angle-resolved photoemission. The electron-phonon coupling strength is determined in a spectral region for which only intraband…

This is about Curtis conjecture on the image of the Hurewicz map $h:{_2\pi_*}Q_0S^0\to H_*(Q_0S^0;\Z/2)$. First, we show that if $f\in{_2\pi_*^s}$ is of Adams filtration at least $3$ with $h(f)\neq 0$ then $f$ is not a decomposable element…

Combining old and new de Haas-van Alphen (dHvA) and magnetoresistance data, we arrive at a detailed picture of the Fermi surface of the heavy fermion superconductor UPt3. Our work was partially motivated by a new proposal that two 5f…

We discuss the weak-coupling BCS theory of the heavy fermion superconductor UPt_3, accounting for that system's anisotropic, multisheeted Fermi surface by expanding the order parameter and pair potential in terms of appropriate basis…

Exceptional points (EPs) are peculiar band singularities and play a vital role in a rich array of unusual optical phenomena and non-Hermitian band theory. In this paper, we provide a topological classification of isolated EPs based on…

We show a few nontrivial extensions in the classical Adams spectral sequence. In particular, we compute that the 2-primary part of $\pi_{51}$ is $\mathbb{Z}/8\oplus\mathbb{Z}/8\oplus\mathbb{Z}/2$. This was the last unsolved 2-extension…

A study of the Fermi surface of the putative topological semimetal Pd$_3$Pb has been carried out using Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) oscillations measured in fields of up to 60 T. Pd$_3$Pb has garnered attention in the community due to a peculiar…

We present a brief summary of observations of the transiting extrasolar planet, HD 209458 b, designed to detect the secondary eclipse. We employ the method of `occultation spectroscopy', which searches in combined light (star and planet)…
