It was proved that the joint operation of electromagnetic reciprocity and $n$-fold ($n\geq3$) rotational symmetry would secure arbitrary polarization-independent backscattering efficiency [Phys. Rev. B \textbf{103}, 045422 (2021)]. Here we…

The gravitational-wave signal from the neutron star-black hole (NSBH) merger GW200105 is consistent with this binary having significant orbital eccentricity close to merger. This raises the question of how eccentric NSBHs form. Compact…
The XX spin-chain with non-Hermitian diagonal boundary conditions is shown to be quasi-Hermitian for special values of the boundary parameters. This is proved by explicit construction of a new inner product employing a "quasi-fermion"…

We study the dynamics of a solar-type star orbiting around a black hole binary (BHB) in a nearly coplanar system. We present a novel effect that can prompt a growth and significant oscillations of the eccentricity of the stellar orbit when…
