Delocalized Davydov D1 Ansatz for the Holstein polaron by Sun, Jin, Duan, Liwei, Zhao, Yang

“…The delocalized D1 Ansatz lowers the ground-state energies at the Brillouin zone boundary significantly compared with the Toyozawa and Global-Local Ansätze in the weak coupling regime, while considerable improvement is demonstrated to have been achieved over the entire Brillouin zone in the strong coupling regime. …”

Effect of strong electric fields on material responses : the Bloch oscillation resonance in high field conductivities by Singh, Satyvir, Battiato, Marco

“…We then extend the method to strong electric fields and show how the responses are deviated from the low-field ones and the transition to a dampened Bloch oscillation regime. Most importantly, we report the observation of a new regime induced by the resonance between the standard low-field response and Bloch oscillations.…”

Deep neural networks have an inbuilt Occam’s razor by Mingard, C, Rees, H, Valle-Pérez, G, Louis, AA

“…The prior over functions is determined by the network architecture, which we vary by exploiting a transition between ordered and chaotic regimes. For Boolean function classification, we approximate the likelihood using the error spectrum of functions on data. …”

Profiting from prestige: the political economy of mega-events in Azerbaijan by Laporte, J

“…By problematising the direction of causality between mega-events and rentseeking behaviour, this analysis expands current theories on states’ motivations for hosting these events and contributes to existing understandings about how these proceedings serve to support and sustain rentier regimes.…”

Conflict abroad and political trust at home evidence from a natural experiment by Klymak, M, Vlandas, T

“…Further analyses using other surveys and previous conflicts suggest this effect depends on proximity to the conflict and the political regimes of the attacked country. These findings contribute to our understanding of the complex and indirect effects of conflicts on domestic political trust.…”
