Summary: This article investigates a dissipative field theory with background Lorentz symmetry underlying a field theory with global U(1) x SO(1, 1) symmetry constructed on a hyperbolic ring. The theory represents a dissipative model for a bipartite system compound of Klein-Gordon fields with different masses, with the infrared limit corresponding to the usual dissipative field theory and the ultraviolet limit exhibiting free fields with unobservable dissipative effects. The formulation on the hyperbolic ring includes observables as Hermitian quantities, encoding two real quantities, and constructs the Lagrangian as a Hermitian U(1) x SO(1, 1) invariant quantity.

Summary: In this study, a reflection model was constructed in bumblebee gravity and used to analyze the reflection features of the NuSTAR spectrum of the Galactic black hole EXO 1846-031. The results indicate that the current observations cannot constrain the value of the Lorentz-violating parameter t in the bumblebee gravity model, which may require combining other observations to resolve.

Summary: This study analyzes chiral symmetry breaking in a planar four-fermion model with non-null chemical potential, temperature, and the tilt of the Dirac cone. It utilizes a (2 + 1) dimensional Gross-Neveu-like interaction model in the context of the generalized Weyl Hamiltonian, studying the system's phase structure in mean-field and large-N approximations. Possible applications of the results in areas like graphene are discussed, as well as the effect of an external magnetic field on the system, which can lead to the anomalous Hall effect.

Summary: Black hole superradiance is a powerful tool in the search for ultralight bosons, but its effectiveness can be quenched by scattering processes with ambient electrons. The quenching can lead to time- and energy-oscillating electromagnetic signatures, making events potentially detectable with existing telescopes. This study also reveals that superradiance cannot be used to constrain a small mass for the Standard Model photon.

Summary: In this paper, the authors investigate the superradiant instability of a Kerr-like black hole under the perturbation of a massive scalar field in an Einstein-bumblebee gravity model. The study shows that the Lorentz breaking parameter L affects the bound state spectrum and superradiance, even though it does not impact the superradiance regime or the regime of the bound states. Comparing with the Kerr black hole, the superradiant instability of this black hole is impacted by not only the rotation parameter and the product of the black hole mass and the field mass, but also the Lorentz breaking parameter. Through calculations, the most unstable mode is found to occur at specific parameter values with a maximum growth rate of the field that is about 10 times higher than that in the Kerr black hole.

Summary: Gravity can be regarded as a consequence of local Lorentz symmetry in defining a spinor field in curved spacetime. The gravitational action at a certain ultraviolet cutoff scale admits a zero-field limit, allowing for a linear realization of the Lorentz symmetry. Only three types of terms are allowed in the four-dimensional gravitational action at the cutoff scale: a cosmological constant, a linear term of the Lorentz field strength, and spinor kinetic terms.

Summary: The article introduces the derivation of hyperbolic complex algebraic structures in dimensions two, three, and four through suitably defined vector products and powers, allowing for the standard definition of hyperbolic vector exponential function. It discusses the modification of arrow multiplication and the geometric explanation for defining random vector products. The article extends a systematic approach developed for various other complex algebraic structures to the field of hyperbolic complex numbers.

Summary: In this study, an exact rotating BTZ-like black hole solution is obtained by solving the gravitational field equations and bumblebee motion equations. The Lorentz symmetry is violated only in the radial direction and requires a linear functional potential for the bumblebee field. The black hole has two horizons and an ergosphere, which depend on the bumblebee coupling constant. The entropy-area relation, first law of thermodynamics, and Smarr formula can still be established in this LV spacetime due to the coupling between the bumblebee field and the Ricci tensor.

Summary: This paper reports the experimental observation of higher-order in-plane HPhP modes stimulated on a 3C-SiC nanowire/alpha-MoO3 heterostructure. By leveraging the low-dimensionality and low-loss nature of the polar nanowires, higher-order HPhPs modes within 2D alpha-MoO3 crystal are launched by the 1D 3C-SiC nanowire. This work illustrates an extremely anisotropic low dimensional heterostructure platform to confine and configure electromagnetic waves at the deep-subwavelength scales for a range of IR applications.

Summary: We performed a systematic analysis of changes in the photospheric magnetic field during 21 solar flares and found that the magnetic imprints (MIs) are strongly localized in eruptive flares, while noneruptive events have scattered imprint regions. The strength of the MIs correlates well with the flare strength, and the change in free energy (FE) shows a strong positive correlation with the change in Lorentz force.

Summary: A model of spontaneous Lorentz violation in four dimensions is presented, showing a Lorentz invariant effective theory. An emergent gravity that is equivalent to general relativity up to third order terms in the Lagrangian is generated by an SU(2) Yang-Mills gauge field and an auxiliary U(1) vector field with vacuum expectation values. The coupling to matter, including spin-1/2 fermions, is also correctly described at this level, but further research is needed to determine if this formalism reproduces properties of black holes and other consequences derived from Einstein's theory.

Summary: Recent advances in topological artificial systems have allowed for the realization of topological states in higher dimensions. A tensor product theory is presented as a method for constructing Chern insulators with arbitrary dimensions and Chern numbers. This theory leads to novel higher-dimensional topological physics, with boundary states featuring nontrivial Chern charges.

Summary: Observations of synchrotron and inverse Compton emissions from ultrarelativistic electrons in astrophysical sources provide important insights into the energy-momentum relations of these electrons and can effectively constrain Lorentz violation in the electron sector, with recent gamma-ray telescope data showing constraints at the level of 7x10(-16) or better.

Summary: In the context of spontaneous symmetry breaking, we examined the basic conservation laws for diffeomorphism symmetry, identifying all terms related to a two-tensor coupling to cubic order in metric and tensor field fluctuations. These results can be used for phenomenological calculations. One key finding was that maintaining underlying diffeomorphism symmetry in spontaneous symmetry breaking prevents decoupling of two-tensor fluctuations from metric fluctuations at the action level, except in special cases of quadratic actions.

Summary: We investigate the topological properties of a stacked multilayer Lieb lattice under intralayer spin-orbit coupling, revealing the emergence of doubly degenerate bands extending over the edge of the Brillouin zone. In the presence of intralayer SOC, these doubly degenerate bands typically form three N-band subspaces.

Summary: In this study, we investigate the geometry of wormholes in the framework of general relativity and explore how quantum wave dark matter affects the dynamical configuration of the shell surrounding the wormhole. By using specific shape functions and introducing quantum wave dark matter, we obtain reasonable wormhole solutions and observe its effects on the stability of the shell.

Summary: Calorimetry for equilibrium systems aims to determine the energy levels' occupation and distribution by measuring thermal response, while nonequilibrium versions provide additional information on the dynamical accessibility of these states. Using calculations on a driven exclusion process, it is confirmed that a fermionic nonequilibrium steady state with exact computation of specific heat can be achieved. The divergence at zero temperature occurs when the Fermi energy and the kinetic barrier for loading and emptying are approximately equal. Additionally, a stable low temperature regime of negative specific heat appears when the kinetic barrier is density-dependent, indicating an anti-correlation between the stationary occupation's temperature-dependence and excess heat.

Summary: We obtained the metric of the Hayward black hole surrounded by a cloud of strings, and analyzed the effects of the string cloud on the regularity of the solution and the energy conditions. Various aspects such as horizons, geodesics, effective potential, and thermodynamics were investigated. We compared the obtained results with the literature corresponding to the Hayward black hole without a string cloud.
