On the intermediate Jacobian of M5-branes by Jefferson, Patrick, Kim, Manki

“…Our formula for the Euler characteristic includes a conjectured correction term that accounts for the contributions of pointlike terminal ℤ2 singularities corresponding to perturbative O3-planes. We check our conjecture in a number of explicit examples and find perfect agreement with the results of direct computations.…”

Triangular angle rigidity for distributed localization in 2D by Chen, Liangming

“…More importantly, inspired by Laman's theorem, we propose a topological, necessary and sufficient condition to check generic triangular angle rigidity. Based on the results on triangular angle rigidity, both algebraic and topological localizability conditions are developed, which are necessary and sufficient when the number of anchor nodes in the network is two. …”

In2Se3-based two-dimensional photocatalysts for water-splitting by Wong, CCY

“…Recent research has revealed that indium selenide (In₂Se₃) carries great potential in being a promising photocatalytic water splitting catalyst due to its unique intrinsic ferroelectricity, suitability of band structure and ability to be exfoliated into two-dimensional (2D) sheets. It is a relatively less studied material and has not been explored in literature as a water splitting photocatalyst until now.…”
