Soliton resolution for the coupled complex short pulse equation

Kavli Affiliate: Ran Wang | First 5 Authors: Nan Liu, Ran Wang, , , | Summary: We address the long-time asymptotics of the solution to the Cauchy problem of ccSP (coupled complex short pulse) equation on the line for decaying initial data that can support solitons. The ccSP system describes ultra-short pulse propagation in optical […]

Exact Quantum Many-Body Scars in 2D Quantum Gauge Models

Kavli Affiliate: Masahito Yamazaki | First 5 Authors: Yuan Miao, Linhao Li, Hosho Katsura, Masahito Yamazaki, | Summary: Quantum many-body scars (QMBS) serve as important examples of ergodicity-breaking phenomena in quantum many-body systems. Despite recent extensive studies, exact QMBS are rare in dimensions higher than one. In this paper, we study a two-dimensional quantum $mathbb{Z}_2$ […]

Neuroticism Heterogeneity Through Item-Level Associations in Resting-State Functional Connectivity

Kavli Affiliate: Wesley Thompson | Authors: Masaya Misaki, Chun Chieh Fan, Wesley K Thompson, Heekyeong Park, Bohan Xu and Martin M Paulus | Summary: Neuroticism is characterized by emotional instability and increased susceptibility to stress-related disorders. While traditionally treated as a unitary construct, growing evidence suggests that neuroticism is heterogeneous in both its genetic basis […]
