The large-D membrane paradigm provides a perturbative, non-gravitational description of black hole dynamics. While the local second law of thermodynamics has been established for neutral membranes, the explicit determination of the local entropy production equation within the charged large-D membrane framework remains unsolved. In this paper, we compute the subleading-order correction to the divergence of the membrane velocity for a charged black hole in a flat background. We evaluate the corresponding scalar Einstein-Maxwell constraint equation at the physical event horizon via the non-affine null Raychaudhuri equation, and relate the physical horizon expressions to the auxiliary membrane kinematics, demonstrating that the membrane velocity produces a non-negative divergence at the first non-vanishing order in the membrane worldvolume, which is driven by two quadratic forms: the membrane shear and a novel contribution generated purely by the Maxwell field. Using this result, we construct the membrane entropy current and prove that its divergence is non-negative through this order, thereby establishing the local second law for the charged large-D membrane paradigm.

In this work, we generalize the reaction-diffusion equation in statistical physics, Schr\"odinger equation in quantum mechanics, Helmholtz equation in paraxial optics into the neural partial differential equations (NPDE), which can be considered as the fundamental equations in the field of artificial intelligence research. We take finite difference method to discretize NPDE for finding numerical solution, and the basic building blocks of deep neural network architecture, including multi-layer perceptron, convolutional neural network and recurrent neural networks, are generated. The learning strategies, such as Adaptive moment estimation, L-BFGS, pseudoinverse learning algorithms and partial differential equation constrained optimization, are also presented. We believe it is of significance that presented clear physical image of interpretable deep neural networks, which makes it be possible for applying to analog computing device design, and pave the road to physical artificial intelligence.

We develop a unified thermodynamic and mechanical framework for causal-diamond horizons in Minkowski spacetime. Euclidean regularity fixes the temperature T_D=1/(πα), where 2α is the temporal extent of the diamond. The regulated Gibbons--Hawking--York contribution gives I_D^E=-A_0/(4G), with A_0 the area of the horizon bifurcation surface, and the vanishing equilibrium geometric energy then yields the entropy--area relation S_D=A_0/(4G). For weak matter perturbations crossing a localized portion of the future horizon, a Raychaudhuri analysis relates the associated Killing-energy flux to the area response, yielding a local physical-process first law at leading order near the bifurcation surface and, for classical matter satisfying the null energy condition, a local second law. Uniform conformal surface gravity establishes the zeroth law, while zero temperature is approached only in the limit αtoinfty, in which the finite causal horizon disappears. These results show that a coherent horizon-law structure can arise within a causal diamond, a fundamental building block of the causal structure of Minkowski spacetime. The derivation is explicit in (2+1) dimensions, while the physical results retain the same form for spherical causal diamonds in dgeq3.

In this paper, we rigorously derive the fundamental PDEs of fluid mechanics, such as the compressible Euler and incompressible Navier-Stokes-Fourier equations, starting from the hard sphere particle systems undergoing elastic collisions. This resolves Hilbert's sixth problem, as it pertains to the program of deriving the fluid equations from Newton's laws by way of Boltzmann's kinetic theory. The proof relies on the derivation of Boltzmann's equation on 2D and 3D tori, which is an extension of our previous work (arXiv:2408.07818).

This paper derives the second-order positive Burgers' equation from the standard Burgers' hierarchy to explore its complete integrability and exact analytical solutions. We construct this higher-order nonlinear evolution equation by systematically applying the recursion operator to the classical Burgers' equation. Expanding on this structural framework, we then derive the explicit third-order equation and use Complete Bell Polynomials to generalize the n-th order hierarchy. Through the Cole-Hopf transformation, the second-order nonlinear equation rigorously maps to the linear third-order dispersion equation. We establish complete integrability by explicitly formulating the scalar Lax pair (zero-curvature representation), which allows us to directly derive the associated differential and algebraic Darboux transformations. To systematically classify explicit stationary, time-dependent traveling wave, and self-similar profiles, we apply several techniques to the linear domain: separation of variables, the Hirota perturbation method, traveling wave reduction via the Complete Discrimination System for Polynomial Method (CDSPM), and Lie similarity reduction. Crucially, our analysis demonstrates the exact finite truncation of the Hirota perturbation series. We conclude by outlining how this equation impacts the theoretical understanding of fluid dynamics, nonlinear transport phenomena, and higher-order wave propagation.

We study a one dimensional nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation with a potential, a localized quadratic nonlinearity, and a non-localized quartic nonlinearity. We assume that the linearized operator has a single discrete eigenvalue below the continuous spectrum, corresponding to an ''internal mode''. This eigenvalue generates localized, time-periodic solutions for the linear equation. Assuming the natural Fermi Golden Rule, we give a global description of the dynamics of the amplitude of the internal mode through the radiation damping mechanism, and prove scattering for the radiation. Our approach is based on the distorted Fourier transform and a collection of refined dispersive decay and smoothing estimates. The corresponding cubic problem is closely related to the question of global-in-space dispersive asymptotics for perturbations of kink solutions in the classical ϕ^4 model, which remains a challenging open question. From the perspective of nonlinear estimates, a quartic (non-localized) interaction is essentially sharp for our analysis, and closing the estimates with such a low degree nonlinear term requires a careful and delicate treatment. As a direct application of our analysis, we prove a result on the asymptotic stability of kinks for classes of scalar field models that can be seen as perturbations of the ϕ^4 model.

In the present work, we study the dynamical evolution of an homogeneous and anisotropic, noncommutative (NC) Bianchi I (BI) model coupled to a radiation perfect fluid. Our first motivation is determining if the present model tends to an homogeneous and isotropic NC Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) model, during its evolution. In order to simplify our task, we use the Misner parametrization of the BI metric. In terms of that parametrization the BI metric has three metric functions: the scale factor a(t) and the two parameters beta_pm (t), which measure the spatial anisotropy of the model. Our second motivation is trying to describe the present accelerated expansion of the universe using noncommutativity (NCTY). The NCTY is introduced by two nontrivial Poisson brackets between some geometrical as well as matter variables of the model. We recover the description in terms of commutative variables by introducing some variables transformations that depend on the NC parameter. Using those variables transformations, we rewrite the total NC Hamiltonian of the model in terms of commutative variables. From the resulting Hamiltonian, we obtain the dynamical equations for a generic perfect fluid. In order to solve these equations, we restrict our attention to a model where the perfect fluid is radiation. We solve, numerically, these equations and compare the NC solutions to the corresponding commutative ones. The comparison shows that the NC model may be considered as a possible candidate for describing the accelerated expansion of the universe. Finally, we obtain estimates for the NC parameter and compare the main results of the NC BI model coupled to radiation with the same NC BI model coupled to other perfect fluids. As our main result, we show that the solutions, after some time, produce an isotropic universe.

In this paper, we develop and implement an efficient asymptotic-preserving (AP) scheme to solve the gas mixture of Boltzmann equations under the disparate mass scaling relevant to the so-called "epochal relaxation" phenomenon. The disparity in molecular masses, ranging across several orders of magnitude, leads to significant challenges in both the evaluation of collision operators and the designing of time-stepping schemes to capture the multi-scale nature of the dynamics. A direct implementation of the spectral method faces prohibitive computational costs as the mass ratio increases due to the need to resolve vastly different thermal velocities. Unlike [I. M. Gamba, S. Jin, and L. Liu, Commun. Math. Sci., 17 (2019), pp. 1257-1289], we propose an alternative approach based on proper truncation of asymptotic expansions of the collision operators, which significantly reduces the computational complexity and works well for small varepsilon. By incorporating the separation of three time scales in the model's relaxation process [P. Degond and B. Lucquin-Desreux, Math. Models Methods Appl. Sci., 6 (1996), pp. 405-436], we design an AP scheme that captures the specific dynamics of the disparate mass model while maintaining computational efficiency. Numerical experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme in handling large mass ratios of heavy and light species, as well as capturing the epochal relaxation phenomenon.

The eight-component relativistic wave equation for spin-1{2} particles of Robson and Staudte (FV1{2}), a Feshbach--Villars linearization of the Feynman--Gell-Mann equation, reproduces the Dirac hydrogenic spectrum with a doubled solution space and an indefinite inner product. Its exact Stark shifts must equal the Dirac ones; whether its indefinite-metric perturbation theory delivers them is not guaranteed. We compute the first- and second-order Stark shifts of the n=1--3 levels of hydrogenic ions from H to U^{91+} in the Schrödinger, Dirac and FV1{2} theories, evaluating all spectral sums, continuum included, by the Dalgarno--Lewis method. The FV1{2} and Dirac shifts coincide level by level, to working precision at first order (closed-form roots) and to 45 significant figures at second order. Both ingredients are needed: without the explicit spin--field coupling the first-order roots become complex, and without the negative-norm states the (Zα)^2 coefficient is wrong. Norm sign and parity are locked in the doubled space: a potential lifting the 2s_{1/2}--2p_{1/2} degeneracy needs its own spin--gradient term, and shifts placed by hand on the κ-labeled states give a spurious imaginary linear Stark shift. The relativistic linear Stark effect is smaller by finite factors, but a second-moment sum rule shows the non-relativistic linear Stark strength is conserved, the missing part reappearing in singular (Zα)^{-2} second-order terms. For levels with a fine-structure partner, an exact intra-shell/regular split of the second-order shift gives the (Zα)^0 coefficients analytically and relates the π^2 terms of the (Zα)^2 coefficients to the singular ones. The Dirac weak/strong-field crossover for n=2 of hydrogen lies near 2.8~kV cm^{-1}, and the perturbative window set by the fine structure grows as Z^5.

In this work, we consider the generalized Benjamin-Bona-Mahony equation $partial_t u+partial_x u+partial_x( |u|^pu)-partial_t partial_x^{2}u=0, quad(t,x) in R times R, with p>4. This equation has the traveling wave solutions \phi_{c}(x-ct), for any frequency c>1. It has been proved by Souganidis and Strauss Strauss-1990 that, there exists a number c_{0}(p)>1, such that solitary waves \phi_{c}(x-ct) with 1<c<c_{0}(p) is orbitally unstable, while for c>c_{0}(p), \phi_{c}(x-ct) is orbitally stable. The linear exponential instability in the former case was further proved by Pego and Weinstein Pego-1991-eigenvalue. In this paper, we prove the orbital instability in the critical case c=c_{0}(p)$.

We study a version of adversarial classification where an adversary is empowered to corrupt data inputs up to some distance varepsilon, using tools from variational analysis. In particular, we describe necessary conditions associated with the optimal classifier subject to such an adversary. Using the necessary conditions, we derive a geometric evolution equation which can be used to track the change in classification boundaries as varepsilon varies. This evolution equation may be described as an uncoupled system of differential equations in one dimension, or as a mean curvature type equation in higher dimension. In one dimension, and under mild assumptions on the data distribution, we rigorously prove that one can use the initial value problem starting from varepsilon=0, which is simply the Bayes classifier, in order to solve for the global minimizer of the adversarial problem for small values of varepsilon. In higher dimensions we provide a similar result, albeit conditional to the existence of regular solutions of the initial value problem. In the process of proving our main results we obtain a result of independent interest connecting the original adversarial problem with an optimal transport problem under no assumptions on whether classes are balanced or not. Numerical examples illustrating these ideas are also presented.

In this paper, we study the Hard Core (HC) model with a countable set mathbb Z of spin values on a Cayley tree of order k=2. This model is defined by a countable set of parameters (that is, the activity function λ_i>0, iin mathbb Z). A functional equation is obtained that provides the consistency condition for finite-dimensional Gibbs distributions. Analyzing this equation, the following results are obtained: Let kgeq 2 and Λ=sum_iλ_i. For Λ=+infty there is no translation-invariant Gibbs measure (TIGM); Let k=2 and Λ<+infty. For the model under constraint such that at G-admissible graph the loops are imposed at two vertices of the graph, the uniqueness of TIGM is proved; Let k=2 and Λ<+infty. For the model under constraint such that at G-admissible graph the loops are imposed at three vertices of the graph, the uniqueness and non-uniqueness conditions of TIGMs are found.

We determine the quadrupolar logarithmic tidal response of electrically charged Einstein-Euler-Heisenberg black holes from the coupled static odd-parity gravitational and electromagnetic equations. Although the second electromagnetic invariant vanishes on the electric background, its quadratic interaction contributes to the axial fluctuation equations. At first order in the Euler-Heisenberg coupling a, a direct asymptotic recursion gives the canonical running matrix C_{rm can}^{rm EH}=(9aQ^2/10)left(smallmatrix0&-Q-Q&Msmallmatrixright), defined as the coefficients multiplying the canonical source vector in the r^{-2}log(r_0/r) term. The resulting local coefficients retain the full dependence on the subextremal ratio Q{M} at this perturbative order. The two quartic invariants partially cancel in both nonzero channels, while the action-normalized fields make gravitoelectromagnetic reciprocity explicit. The local extremal limit of the running matrix reproduces the corresponding two-invariant effective-field-theory result after convention conversion. Allowing independent quartic couplings further shows that identical electric background geometries can have different axial running matrices and yields algebraic inverse relations within the specified two-operator model. The calculation determines local logarithmic running within minimally coupled quartic electrodynamics; the finite horizon-matched response requires an additional global matching calculation.

We prove that all excited states -sin(nx), ngeq2, of the De Gregorio equation on the torus are nonlinearly unstable in the sense of Hadamard. More precisely, perturbations arbitrarily small in H^2 leave a fixed H^1 neighborhood of the state. For every ngeq2, the linearized operator has a real eigenvalue λ_nin(0.56,0.6). To prove this, we transform the eigenvalue problem into a Fuchsian equation on the complex disk and obtain a matching condition for the eigenvalue. This condition is verified rigorously using interval arithmetic. The nonlinear instability follows from a bootstrap argument in the spirit of Guo, Hallstrom, and Spirn.

A new class of solutions describing the composition of compact stars has been proposed, assuming that the fluid distribution inside the star is anisotropic. This is achieved by assuming the appropriate metric potential and then solving Einstein's field equations using Karmarkar conditions [Karmarkar K. R., Proc. Indian Acad. Sci. 27 (1948) 56] to derive the expressions for star density, the radial and tangential pressures in terms of the constants A, B, a paramter `a' and the curvature parameter R. The equations thus obtained have been passed through rigorous conditional analysis. It is further shown that the model is physically viable and mathematically well-behaved, fulfilling the requisite conditions viz., regularity condition, strong energy condition, causality condition, etc. Observed star candidates including EXO 1785-248, SMC X-1, SAXJ1808.43658(SS2), HER X-1, 4U 1538-52, Cen X-3 and LMC X-4 were found to conform to a good approximation through the outcome of this model for a=0.5.

In this paper we consider a particular class of solutions of the Rayleigh-Boltzmann equation, known in the nonlinear setting as homoenergetic solutions, which have the form gleft( x,v,t right) =fleft( v-Lleft( tright)x,tright) where the matrix L(t) describes a shear flow deformation. We began this analysis in [22] where we rigorously proved the existence of a stationary non-equilibrium solution and established the different behaviour of the solutions for small and large values of the shear parameter, for cut-off collision kernels with homogeneity parameter 0leq gamma <1, including Maxwell molecules and hard potentials. In this paper, we concentrate in the case where the deformation term dominates the collision term for large times (hyperbolic-dominated regime). This occurs for collision kernels with gamma < 0 and in particular we focus on gamma in (-1,0). In such a hyperbolic-dominated regime, it appears challenging to provide a clear description of the long-term asymptotics of the solutions. Here we present a formal analysis of the long-time asymptotics for the distribution of velocities and provide the explicit form for the asymptotic profile. Additionally, we discuss the different asymptotic behaviour expected in the case of homogeneity gamma < -1. Furthermore, we provide a probabilistic interpretation describing a stochastic process consisting in a combination of collisions and shear flows. The tagged particle velocity {v(t)}_{tgeq 0} is a Markov process that arises from the combination of free flights in a shear flow along with random jumps caused by collisions.

We study scalaron quasinormal modes and quasi-bound states of Schwarzschild black holes directly within the Bondi-Sachs formulation of metric f(R) gravity, combining frequency-domain analyses with characteristic time evolution. Starting from the linearised characteristic equations, we obtain the massive scalar master equation and show that the tensor master equation takes the same form as in general relativity. For the analytic models considered here, the linear scalar spectra depend on the f(R) theory only through the dimensionless combination μM. We compute both quasinormal and quasi-bound spectral branches using Leaver's continued-fraction method and compare them with independent literature benchmarks. To complement the frequency domain analysis, we evolve the scalaron perturbation equations using a fourth order convergent characteristic scheme. Applying matrix-pencil stability scans to the resulting waveforms, we independently recover fundamental quasinormal frequencies consistent with the continued-fraction results within the measured extraction-stability scales. Finally, for a selected finite-mass case, we demonstrate the extraction of both oscillation frequencies and damping rates of the fundamental quasinormal mode and quasi-bound state from separate time windows of the same waveform at one extraction radius, without imposing either spectral branch at the finite outer boundary.

We study the bi-parameter local linearization of the one-dimensional nonlinear stochastic wave equation driven by a Gaussian noise, which is white in time and has a spatially homogeneous covariance structure of Riesz-kernel type. We establish that the second-order increments of the solution can be approximated by those of the corresponding linearized wave equation, modulated by the diffusion coefficient. These findings extend the previous results of Huang et al. HOO2024, which addressed the case of space-time white noise. As applications, we analyze the quadratic variation of the solution and construct a consistent estimator for the diffusion parameter.

A universal class of light-ray operators formed from null integrals of the stress tensor is constructed in generic interacting Lorentzian conformal field theories in four spacetime dimensions. This class of light-ray operators generates the wedge algebra of {rm w}_{1+infty}, which was recently identified among the asymptotic symmetries of asymptotically flat spacetimes. In four-dimensional conformal field theories with an additional spin-one conserved current, a second universal class of light-ray operators is constructed and shown to generate the ''S algebra,'' the gauge-theoretic analog of {rm w}_{1+infty}. Finally, a precise relation is established between the one-point functions of these light-ray operators in scalar states and the universal soft factors in the infinite tower of soft graviton theorems. The results presented in this paper will be accompanied by detailed calculations and proofs in a longer forthcoming work.

The classical Seiberg-Witten equations in dimensions three and four admit a natural generalization within a unified framework known as the generalized Seiberg-Witten (GSW) equations, which encompasses many important equations in gauge theory. This article proves that the averaged L^2-norm of any spinor with non-constant pointwise norm in the GSW equations on mathbb R^4 and mathbb R^3, measured over large-radius spheres, grows faster than a power of the radius, under a suitable curvature decay assumption. Separately, it is shown that if the Yang-Mills-Higgs energy of any solution of these equations is finite, then the pointwise norm of the spinor in it must converge to a non-negative constant at infinity. These two behaviors cannot occur simultaneously unless the spinor has constant pointwise norm. This work may be seen as partial generalization of results obtained by Taubes[Tau17a], and Nagy and Oliveira [NO19] for the Kapustin-Witten equations.

We develop an asymptotic perturbation theory for the large logarithmic behavior of the non-linear integro-differential equation describing the soft correlations of QCD jet measurements, the Banfi-Marchesini-Smye (BMS) equation. This equation captures the late-time evolution of radiating color dipoles after a hard collision. This allows us to prove that at large values of the control variable (the non-global logarithm, a function of the infra-red energy scales associated with distinct hard jets in an event), the distribution has a gaussian tail. We compute the decay width analytically, giving a closed form expression, and find it to be jet geometry independent, up to the number of legs of the dipole in the active jet. Enabling the asymptotic expansion is the correct perturbative seed, where we perturb around an anzats encoding formally no real emissions, an intuition motivated by the buffer region found in jet dynamics. This must be supplemented with the correct application of the BFKL approximation to the BMS equation in collinear limits. Comparing to the asymptotics of the conformally related evolution equation encountered in small-x physics, the Balitisky-Kovchegov (BK) equation, we find that the asymptotic form of the non-global logarithms directly maps to the black-disc unitarity limit of the BK equation, despite the contrasting physical pictures. Indeed, we recover the equations of saturation physics in the final state dynamics of QCD.

In this work we study static neutron stars in the context of several inflationary models which are popular in cosmology. These inflationary models are non-minimally coupled scalar theories which yield a viable inflationary phenomenology in both Jordan and Einstein frames. By considering the constraints from inflationary theories, which basically determine the values of the potential strength, usually considered as a free parameter in astrophysical neutron star works, we construct and solve the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff equations using a solid python-3 LSODA integrator. For our study we consider several popular inflationary models, such as the universal attractors, the R^p attractors (three distinct model values), the induced inflation, the quadratic inflation, the Higgs inflation and the a-attractors (two distinct model values) and for the following popular equations of state the WFF1, the SLy, the APR, the MS1, the AP3, the AP4, the ENG, the MPA1 and the MS1b. We construct the M-R diagram and we confront the resulting theory with theoretical and observational constraints. As we demonstrate, remarkably, all the neutron stars produced by all the inflationary models we considered are compatible with all the constraints for the MPA1 equation of state. It is notable that for this particular equation of state, the maximum masses of the neutron stars are in the mass-gap region with M>2.5M_{odot}, but lower than the 3 solar masses causal limit. We also make the observation that as the NICER constraints are pushed towards larger radii, as for example in the case of the black widow pulsar PSR J0952-0607, it seems that equations of state that produce neutron stars with maximum masses in the mass gap region, with M>2.5M_{odot}, but lower than the 3 solar masses causal limit, are favored and are compatible with the modified NICER constraints.

For every integer Nge4, we construct a fixed smooth, non-locally-conformally-flat metric on the n-dimensional unit sphere S^n for which the constant Q_{2N}-curvature equation admits an L^infty-unbounded sequence of positive solutions. The construction applies for nge2N+20 when N=4,5, nge2N+19 when 6le Nle8, nge2N+18 when 9le Nle17, and nge2N+17 when Nge18. For each L in N cup {0}, the metric can be chosen arbitrarily close to the round metric in the C^L norm. Together with the known cases N=1,2,3, this establishes noncompactness at every order, with dimension bounds that we expect to be optimal. We derive an explicit formula for the fixed-volume Hessian of total Q_{2N}-curvature in transverse-traceless (TT) directions at closed Einstein metrics satisfying Ric=(n-1)g. Building on Juhl's formulas, we identify this Hessian, for every NinN and n>2N, as a degree-N polynomial in the Lichnerowicz Laplacian. For the metric perturbations generated by algebraic Weyl tensors in the construction, the quadratic reduced energy with fixed bubble center is a positive multiple of this Hessian restricted to a four-dimensional TT space. Differentiation with respect to the bubble scale then yields a finite matrix whose exact sign analysis establishes the required indefiniteness in the stated dimension ranges. After continuation to real n, this matrix changes from negative definite to indefinite at n_N=2N+a_*+c_*N^{-1}+O(N^{-2}) as Ntoinfty, with a_*approx16.201871 and c_*approx13.512880, explaining the eventual bound nge2N+17.

The transition of an impulsively excited kink oscillation of a solar coronal loop to an oscillation with a stationary amplitude, i.e., the damping pattern, is determined using the low-dimensional self-oscillation model. In the model, the decayless kink oscillations are sustained by the interaction of the oscillating loop with an external quasi-steady flow. The analytical solution is based on the assumption that the combined effect of the effective dissipation, for example, by resonant absorption, and interaction with an external flow, is weak. The effect is characterised by a dimensionless coupling parameter. The damping pattern is found to depend upon the initial amplitude and the coupling parameter. The approximate expression shows a good agreement with a numerical solution of the self-oscillation equation. The plausibility of the established damping pattern is demonstrated by an observational example. Notably, the damping pattern is not exponential, and the characteristic decay time is different from the time determined by the traditionally used exponential damping fit. Implications of this finding for seismology of the solar coronal plasmas are discussed. In particular, it is suggested that a very rapid, in less than the oscillation period, decay of the oscillation to the stationary level, achieved for larger values of the coupling parameter, can explain the relative rareness of the kink oscillation events.

We compute Kerr-Newman quasinormal modes using a recently found exact separation of the gravitoelectric perturbation equations. For each spin-label ς=pm1, a matrix angular ordinary differential equation and a scalar second-order radial ordinary differential equation define a joint spectral problem for the complex frequency ω and separation constant λ. We solve this problem by imposing regularity at the angular poles, ingoing behavior at the event horizon, and outgoing behavior at infinity. We benchmark the numerical code built to solve the separated equations, and the resulting frequencies, against recently published spectral calculations of the coupled system. Comparisons with those results yield absolute differences of order 10^{-10} to 10^{-5}, depending on the BH parameters and overtone number. We also find numerical hints of spin-label isospectrality in both the electromagnetic-led and gravitational-led sectors of fundamental quasinormal modes, even at near-extremal Kerr-Newman configurations. These results provide numerical evidence that the separated equations reproduce Kerr-Newman quasinormal frequencies and offer a practical route to exploring the ringdown of rotating, charged black holes.

Let G be a Lie group equipped with commuting left and right linear representations on a vector space V, and let GJoin V be the associated centered semidirect product. We develop a reduction scheme for covariant field theories on principal bundles with structure group GJoin V from both Lagrangian and Hamiltonian perspectives, obtaining the reduced Euler-Poincaré and Lie-Poisson field equations decomposed into their mathfrak g- and V-components, where mathfrak g is the Lie algebra of G. We also derive the reduced multisymplectic form formula, as well as the Noether and energy-momentum balance laws. Our reduction results are compared with those for principal bundles with standard semidirect-product structure groups, and the role of the centered variables is investigated: they retain the original two-sided geometric data and separate the left and right contributions via the heart and diamond operators. The framework is then applied to a two-sided matrix microstructural model and to the second-order jet group on mathbb R^r, G_r^2. For the matrix model, the conjugation representation decomposes Mat(3) into scalar, vector, and symmetric-traceless sectors, clarifying its precise relation to director and alignment-tensor variables without identifying it with standard nematodynamics. For the one-dimensional jet group on a (1+1)-dimensional Minkowski base, we obtain a semilinear symmetric-hyperbolic system and an exact traveling conversion front with explicit energy-momentum exchange between the linear- and quadratic-jet sectors. Its hyperbolic-target interpretation yields a conserved positive energy for the linearized perturbations. A nonlinear numerical experiment illustrates the reduced evolution and reconstruction of the group-valued field, with consistency assessed through mesh refinement and an independent wave-map computation.

The quantitative prediction of the intensity of rainfall events (light or heavy) has remained a challenge in Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models. For the first time the mean coefficient of diffusional growth rates are calculated using an Eulerian-Lagrangian particle-based small-scale model on in situ airborne measurement data of Cloud Aerosol Interaction and Precipitation Enhancement Experiment (CAIPEEX) during monsoon over Indian sub-continent. The results show that diffusional growth rates varies in the range of 0.00025 - 0.0015(cm/s). The generic problem of the overestimation of light rain in NWP models might be related with the choice of cm in the model. It is also shown from DNS experiment using Eulerian-Lagrangian particle-based small-scale model that the relative dispersion is constrained with average values in the range of ~ 0.2 - 0.37 (~ 0.1- 0.26) in less humid (more humid) conditions. This is in agreement with in situ airborne observation (dispersion ~ 0.36) and previous study over Indian sub-continent. The linear relationship between relative dispersion and cloud droplet number concentration (NC) is obtained from this study using CAIPEEX observation over Indian subcontinent. The dispersion based autoconversion-scheme for Indian region must be useful for the Indian summer monsoon precipitation calculation in the general circulation model. The present study also provide valuable guidance for the parameterization of effective radius, important for radiation scheme.

It is shown that in the complex trajectory representation of quantum mechanics, the Born's Psi^{\star}Ψprobability density can be obtained from the imaginary part of the velocity field of particles on the real axis. Extending this probability axiom to the complex plane, we first attempt to find a probability density by solving an appropriate conservation equation. The characteristic curves of this conservation equation are found to be the same as the complex paths of particles in the new representation. The boundary condition in this case is that the extended probability density should agree with the quantum probability rule along the real line. For the simple, time-independent, one-dimensional problems worked out here, we find that a conserved probability density can be derived from the velocity field of particles, except in regions where the trajectories were previously suspected to be nonviable. An alternative method to find this probability density in terms of a trajectory integral, which is easier to implement on a computer and useful for single particle solutions, is also presented. Most importantly, we show, by using the complex extension of Schrodinger equation, that the desired conservation equation can be derived from this definition of probability density.

We study the parameter dependence and transversality properties of trajectories of the controlled ODE $ U_x = P, qquad P_x = - f(U) - βP + tilde α(x)U, arising from traveling-wave solutions of a bistable reaction-diffusion equation with control. Optimal profiles minimizing the L^1-norm of the control \tilde α are determined by the unstable and stable manifolds Γ_u, Γ_s, the critical curve P^*(U) = Uf(U), and the associated function F(U) = dP^*{dU} + f(U){P^*(U)}. We establish generic transversality properties for these objects with respect to perturbations of the speed β and the nonlinear source f, together with quantitative estimates on the first- and second-order dependence of the invariant manifolds on these parameters. We also analyze the loss of regularity at the critical speed β^{**}, where the unstable manifold approaches the strongly stable manifold of the equilibrium (U^*,0)$. These results provide the ODE ingredients used in the analysis of the structure and regularity of optimal profiles in paper [S. Bianchini and C. Trifone. Traveling profiles and control cost for a PDE describing the evolution of invasive species. 2026. arXiv: 2606.23979 [math.OC]].

We introduce featom, an open source code that implements a high-order finite element solver for the radial Schr\"odinger, Dirac, and Kohn-Sham equations. The formulation accommodates various mesh types, such as uniform or exponential, and the convergence can be systematically controlled by increasing the number and/or polynomial order of the finite element basis functions. The Dirac equation is solved using a squared Hamiltonian approach to eliminate spurious states. To address the slow convergence of the kappa=pm1 states due to divergent derivatives at the origin, we incorporate known asymptotic forms into the solutions. We achieve a high level of accuracy (10^{-8} Hartree) for total energies and eigenvalues of heavy atoms such as uranium in both Schr\"odinger and Dirac Kohn-Sham solutions. We provide detailed convergence studies and computational parameters required to attain commonly required accuracies. Finally, we compare our results with known analytic results as well as the results of other methods. In particular, we calculate benchmark results for atomic numbers (Z) from 1 to 92, verifying current benchmarks. We demonstrate significant speedup compared to the state-of-the-art shooting solver dftatom. An efficient, modular Fortran 2008 implementation, is provided under an open source, permissive license, including examples and tests, wherein particular emphasis is placed on the independence (no global variables), reusability, and generality of the individual routines.

Studies of density matrices for random quantum states lead naturally to the fixed trace Laguerre ensemble in random matrix theory. Previous studies have uncovered explicit rational function formulas for moments of purity statistic (trace of the squared density matrix), and also a third order linear differential equation satisfied by the eigenvalue density. We further probe the origin of these results from the viewpoint of integrability, which is taken here to mean wider classes of recursions and differential equations, and give extensions. Prominent in our study are first order linear matrix differential equations. One application given is to the derivation of the third order scalar equation for the density. Another is to obtain the explicit rational function formula for the variance of the purity statistic in the β generalised fixed trace Laguerre ensemble. In the original case (β= 2), the purity cumulants are expressed in terms of the large argument expansion of a particular σ-Painlevé IV transcendent. In a different but related direction, the exact computation of the two-point correlation for the fixed determinant circular unitary ensemble SU(N) is given the Appendix.

This paper discusses the use of the Riemann-Silberstein vector to solve the source-free Maxwell's equations and obtains novel analytical solutions. The solving process naturally leads to the spinor form of the source-free Maxwell's equations. Several powerful theorems are established to solve this spinor form equation. The Waveguide Solution Theorem provides an elegant way to solve waveguide problems, while The Schrodinger Solution Theorem connects the Maxwell's equations with the two-dimensional Schrodinger equation. By utilizing The Schrodinger Solution Theorem, a precise formula for spatiotemporal diffraction of the Maxwell's equations is derived, which allows for the reconstruction of electromagnetic waves throughout space and time based on the field distribution on the diffraction screen. And finally, by studying some relevant contour integrals, two additional simple but beautiful mathematical theorems that are necessarily satisfied by electromagnetic field in any source-free region are derived.

We introduce a new predator-prey model by replacing the growth and predation constant by a square matrix, and the population density as a population vector. The classical Lotka-Volterra model describes a population that either modulates or converges. Stability analysis of such models have been extensively studied by the works of Merdan (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chaos.2007.06.062). The new model adds complexity by introducing an age group structure where the population of each age group evolves as prescribed by the Leslie matrix. The added complexity changes the behavior of the model such that the population either displays roughly an exponential growth or decay. We first provide an exact equation that describes a time evolution and use analytic techniques to obtain an approximate growth factor. We also discuss the variants of the Leslie model, i.e., the complex value predator-prey model and the competitive model. We then prove the Last Species Standing theorem that determines the dominant population in the large time limit. The recursive structure of the model denies the application of simple regression. We discuss a machine learning scheme that allows an admissible fit for the population evolution of Paramecium Aurelia and Paramecium Caudatum. Another potential avenue to simplify the computation is to use the machinery of quantum operators. We demonstrate the potential of this approach by computing the Hamiltonian of a simple Leslie system.

This article deals with the following fractional (p,q)-Choquard equation with exponential growth of the form: $varepsilon^{ps}(-Delta)_{p}^{s}u+varepsilon^{qs}(-Delta)_q^su+ Z(x)(|u|^{p-2}u+|u|^{q-2}u)=varepsilon^{mu-N}[|x|^{-mu}*F(u)]f(u) in R^N, where s\in (0,1), \varepsilon>0 is a parameter, 2\leq p=N{s}<q, and 0<\mu<N. The nonlinear function f has an exponential growth at infinity and the continuous potential function Z satisfies suitable natural conditions. With the help of the Ljusternik-Schnirelmann category theory and variational methods, the multiplicity and concentration of positive solutions are obtained for \varepsilon>0$ small enough. In a certain sense, we generalize some previously known results.
