Conjectures on counting associative 3-folds in $G_2$-manifolds by Joyce, D

“…Several areas of Symplectic Geometry – Gromov–Witten theory, Quantum Cohomology, Lagrangian Floer cohomology, Fukaya categories – are built using ‘counts’ of moduli spaces of J-holomorphic curves in Y , but give an answer depending only on the symplectic manifold (Y,ω), not on the (almost) complex structure J. …”

Single channel Kondo physics in triple quantum dots by Jarrold, TF

Black hole jets, accretion discs and dark energy by Potter, WJ

Three-dimensional device structures for photovoltaic applications by Urban, H, H. Urban

Residual stress analysis in shot peened and fretting fatigued samples by the eigenstrain method by Korsunsky, A, Kim, K, Golshan, M, Regino, G

“…Fretting fatigue loading was carried out in hte pad-on-flat geometry using the Oxford in-line fretting rig. Flat-and-rounded pad shape was used to introduce the contact tractions and internal stress fields typical of the target application in aeroengine design. …”

Bordism categories and orientations of gauge theory moduli spaces by Joyce, D, Upmeier, M

“…<p>This is the second paper of a series that develops a bordism-theoretic point of view on orientations in enumerative geometry. The first paper is arXiv:2312.06818. This paper focuses on those applications to gauge theory that can be established purely using formal arguments and calculations from algebraic topology.…”

Gravity anomalies, flexure and crustal structure at the Mozambique rifted margin by Watts, A

“…The different amounts of sediment and underplate at rifted margins help, in fact, to explain the diversity of the edge effect, although they obscure the mechanics, styles and geometry of rifting. In this paper, combined 2-dimensional flexural backstripping and gravity modelling techniques are used to quantify the contribution of rifting, sediment loading and magmatic underplating to the edge effect anomaly at the Mozambique margin. …”

Governance in international trade beyond the state: Collective agency, the actorness of trading blocs, and institutional learning by Stiller, KT

“…It entails an increasingly variable and overlapping geometry of cooperation. The theory is then applied to explain the governance of international trade, where trading blocs emerge as transnational actors. …”

Enhanced intersystem crossing and transient electron spin polarization in a photoexcited pentacene–trityl radical by Avalos, CE, Richert, S, Socie, E, Karthikeyan, G, Casano, G, Stevanato, G, Kubicki, DJ, Moser, JE, Timmel, CR, Lelli, M, Rossini, AJ, Ouari, O, Emsley, L

“…The efficiency of this spin polarization transfer depends on many factors: local magnetic and electric fields, excited-state energetics, molecular geometry, and spin-spin coupling. Here, we present transient electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) measurements on three pentacene derivatives tethered to Finland trityl, BDPA, or TEMPO radicals to explore the influence of the nature of the radical on the spin polarization transfer. …”
