Summary: This paper investigates a new evolution equation for high energy scattering amplitude from the Gribov-Zwanziger approach, finding that the energy dependence is similar to QCD BFKL evolution, the spectrum is independent of the approach details, and all eigenfunctions coincide with QCD BFKL equation at large transverse momenta. Numerical calculations show no new eigenvalues decreasing faster than solutions of QCD BFKL equation, suggesting that the Gribov-Zwanziger approach solves the theoretical problem of behavior at large impact parameters without affecting the scattering amplitude.

Summary: The interaction potential between heavy quarks is calculated using the resummed perturbation method in the Gribov-Zwanziger approach around the deconfinement phase transition. The complex potential is a result of the resummed loop correction, where the real part is suppressed by color screening and becomes short-ranged at high temperatures, while the imaginary part is enhanced through decay processes in a hot medium and becomes comparable to the real part around the phase transition. The strong imaginary potential, originating from the magnetic scale in the GZ approach, shows the importance of both color screening and decay processes in quarkonium dissociation in high-energy nuclear collisions.

Summary: In the refined Gribov-Zwanziger setup, a composite BRST invariant fermionic operator coupled to the inverse of the Faddeev-Popov operator is introduced, leading to the construction of an effective BRST invariant action in Euclidean space-time. This enables the study of the behavior of the fermion propagator in the infrared region within the class of linear covariant gauges. The aforementioned action is proven to be renormalizable to all orders through the algebraic renormalization procedure.

Summary: In our previous work, we developed an effective potential approach for the Gribov-Zwanziger model at zero temperature, considering both the restriction to the first Gribov region and the effect of dynamical dimension-two vacuum condensates. In this study, we investigate the model at finite temperature with a background gauge field, allowing access to the Polyakov loop expectation value and the Yang-Mills (de)confinement phase structure. We compare two methods proposed in the literature, one based on a dressed, Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin invariant, gluon field and the other based on a Wilson-loop dressed Gribov-Zwanziger auxiliary field sector. The latter method performs better in estimating the critical temperature and predicting the order of the transition.

Summary: In this paper, the high energy evolution equation in the Gribov-Zwanziger approach for the confinement of quarks and gluons is derived, addressing the main difficulties of the color glass condensate high energy effective theory. The new equation leads to an exponential decrease of the scattering amplitude at large impact parameter and the formation of a Froissart disc with increasing radius proportional to Y = ln(1/x).

Summary: The vast majority of multi-cellular organisms are anisogamous, with differences in size between male and female sex cells. This asymmetry is believed to have evolved from a symmetric isogamous state, where all gametes were roughly the same size. By using a mathematical model and frequency dependent selection, it was demonstrated that isogamy may naturally lead to anisogamy.

Summary: In this study, we investigate the dynamics responsible for the generation of the potential of the eta ' and test certain assumptions made in the standard lore of QCD. Our results show that the introduction of quarks qualitatively changes the strong dynamics of the pure theory, and the number of branches in the potential is determined by the selection rules of an anomalous U(1)R symmetry.

Summary: It has been found that refining the as-solidified alloy structure can improve structural properties and reduce solidification defects. External field melt processing and solidification studies have provided effective methods for refining the structure and exploring the mechanisms. The origin of fine grains may be attributed to heterogeneous nucleation, fragmentation of dendrites and grains, and separation from the melt and mold wall under vibration or agitation. This review critically compares the current understanding of these grain refinement mechanisms.

Summary: The study shows that the dwarf planet Ceres may not have formed in situ like other asteroids, but instead might have been implanted from beyond Saturn. Based on simulations, Ceres-sized planetesimals captured in the asteroid belt exhibit specific distributions of semimajor axis, eccentricity, and orbital inclination.

Summary: Explosive synchronization in a system of coupled phase oscillators is easier to achieve than previously thought, as long as the adaptive fraction is nonzero. The emergence of explosive synchronization is due to an atypical scaling of the order parameter near criticality, which indicates the presence of a metastable state in the hysteresis region. This study provides profound insights into the dynamical nature of abrupt transitions induced by adaptation, a topic of continuous interest and intensive investigation.

Summary: Dynamical heterogeneities in glass-forming systems result in spatiotemporal fluctuations and a wide distribution of relaxation rates. This study investigates the dominant factors governing dynamical heterogeneities in borosilicate glass. Molecular dynamics simulations using the isoconfigurational ensemble method were performed to study the dynamical heterogeneities of two alkali-(alumino)borosilicate glasses. It was found that alkali ions exhibit high dynamical propensities in local spatial regions. The number of bridging oxygens for boron and silicon does not monotonically correlate with their corresponding dynamical propensities.

Summary: Individuals utilizing both public and private information to make decisions can impact the stability, connectivity, and prosperity of cooperation networks. Increasing diversity leads to more stable, less connected, and less prosperous networks with more frequent but shallower information cascades. The outcome of the conflict between cooperators and cheaters heavily depends on the interplay between population structure, individual decision making, and individual opinions.

Summary: The study investigates potential correlations between radio source counts of 22 GCs and their stellar encounter rates and masses. It found a clear dependence of core radio source counts on Gamma and/or M, but no clear dependence on source counts within the half-light radius. Verified cluster members increased the significance of the correlation with M and/or Gamma, while excluding a dependence on Gamma alone.

Summary: The spectral properties of a set of local gauge invariant composite operators in the SU(2) Yang-Mills-Higgs model with a single Higgs field in the fundamental representation were investigated. It was found that the spectral functions of elementary fields are strongly dependent on the gauge parameter and can exhibit unphysical behavior, whereas the BRST invariant local operators exhibit a well-defined positive spectral density.

Summary: This study extends previous work by introducing an Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton (EMD) action with two quark flavours, solving the equations of motion in the quenched approximation using the potential reconstruction method in the presence of a background magnetic field. The research aims to find a self-consistent dual magnetic AdS/QCD model and discusses the deconfinement transition temperature, confirming inverse magnetic catalysis, and comparing entropy density with lattice data in the vicinity of the transition for moderate values of the magnetic field.

Summary: The study proposes a new inversion scheme for electromagnetic induction data by leveraging the sparsity of the model in the wavelet domain, improving efficiency and accuracy. Transformation to the wavelet domain allows for exploration of the temporal and spatial characteristics of the model, simplifying it by reducing small-scale coefficients. The scheme supports various regularization methods and can choose different wavelet basis functions based on the desired conductivity profile.

Summary: This study proposes and explores a method for estimating the Kallen-Lehmann spectral density from gauge invariant lattice QCD two point correlation functions through an appropriate inversion method. As a proof of concept, the SU(2) glueball spectrum with quantum numbers J(PC) = 0(++) is investigated, with different values of the lattice spacing. The estimates for the ground state mass are in good agreement with the traditional approach based on the large time exponential behavior of the correlation functions, and hints of excited states in the spectrum are found in the spectral density.

Summary: In this study, we propose a novel type of intrinsic half-integer Quantum Hall effect that can be achieved in 2D materials without the need for a magnetic field, providing a topological protection mechanism for the current. We conjecture that this effect may occur in disturbed honeycomb lattices where both spin degeneracy and time reversal symmetry are broken, and provide examples of promising material setups to motivate further research at the numerical and experimental level.

Summary: We calculate the Casimir energy and force densities in a chiral extension of QED using path integral methods. By implementing manifestly gauge invariant perfect electromagnetic boundary conditions and modeling the chiral properties of the vacuum with a background 9 field, we are able to efficiently calculate the path integral in this chiral medium. Our method allows us to obtain results for various configurations and is in perfect agreement with existing literature.

Summary: Regularization methods improve the stability of ill-posed inverse problems by introducing prior characteristics for the solution. In this paper, a multidimensional scale-dependent wavelet-based l(1)-regularization term is proposed to solve the ill-posed airborne electromagnetic induction inverse problem. The regularization term is flexible and can recover various inversion models based on a suitable wavelet basis function.

Summary: In this paper, we discuss a BRST-invariant generalization of the massive background Landau gauge, similar to the original Curci-Ferrari model. The mass parameter is obtained through dimensional transmutation via a BRST-invariant dimension-2 gluon condensate. By using Zimmermann's reduction of constants program, we fix the value of the mass parameter to values close to those obtained within the Curci-Ferrari approach. We also study the inclusion of the Polyakov loop in the self-consistent background field and investigate the deconfinement transition and its interplay with the condensate and its electric-magnetic asymmetry. We observe a continuous phase transition in the SU(2) case and a first-order one in the SU(3) case, with values close to those obtained within the Curci-Ferrari model.

Summary: We continue our study on a holographic QCD model with a magnetic field, focusing on the entropy of a quark-antiquark pair. We observe a magnetic field dependence in the decreasing entropy near deconfinement and in the entropy variation for growing interquark separation. The results provide evidence for inverse magnetic catalysis and suggest that the magnetic field can promote quarkonium dissociation.

Summary: The renormalization properties of two local gauge invariant composite operators in the SU(2) Higgs model are analyzed to all orders in perturbation theory. A powerful global Ward identity, related to an exact custodial symmetry, is derived for the first time and has deep consequences at the quantum level. The conserved Noether currents of the custodial symmetry are found to be the gauge invariant vector operators. Using this Ward identity, it is proven that the longitudinal component of the two-point correlation function of these operators exhibits only a tree-level nonvanishing contribution, independent of momentum. The renowned nonrenormalization theorem for the ghost-antighost-vector boson vertex in Landau gauge also holds true in the presence of the Higgs field.

Summary: The study refines a previously introduced 5-dimensional gravity solution to better capture qualitative aspects of QCD in a strong magnetic background, such as anisotropic behavior of string tension and inverse catalysis at the deconfinement transition level. The researchers modified the solution to overcome previous limitations and bring the holographic QCD model closer to predicting magnetic QCD quantities not directly computable via lattice techniques.
