Towards constraining parity-violations in gravity with satellite gradiometry
Parity violation in gravity, if existed, could have important implications, and it is meaningful to search and test the possible observational effects.

Abstract Mars Sample Return (MSR) is the next major frontier in Mars exploration, through which advanced laboratory instrumentation will be used to study Martian samples and answer key questions surrounding Mars' planetary evolution and astrobiology. Non‐destructive, high‐resolution imaging will be critical for preliminary MSR analyses.

Master 3d bosonization duality with boundaries
We establish the action of the three-dimensional non-Abelian bosonization dualities in the presence of a boundary, which supports a non-anomalous two-dimensional theory.

Cohomogeneity‐one solitons in Laplacian flow: Local, smoothly‐closing and steady solitons
Abstract We initiate a systematic study of cohomogeneity‐one solitons in Bryant's Laplacian flow of closed G2$\text{G}_2$‐structures on a 7‐manifold, motivated by the problem of understanding finite‐time singularities of that flow. Here, we focus on solitons with symmetry groups Sp(2)${\rm Sp}(2)$ and SU(3)${\rm SU}(3)$; in both cases, we prove the ...

Tests of Seiberg-like dualities in three dimensions
We use localization techniques to study several duality proposals for supersymmetric gauge theories in three dimensions reminiscent of Seiberg duality. We compare the partition functions of dual theories deformed by real mass terms and FI parameters.

The colored Jones polynomials as vortex partition functions
We construct 3D N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 2 abelian gauge theories on S $$ \mathbbm{S} $$ 2 × S $$ \mathbbm{S} $$ 1 labeled by knot diagrams whose K-theoretic vortex partition functions, each of which is a building block of twisted indices, give the colored ...

Coulomb branch algebras via symplectic cohomology
Abstract Let (M¯,ω)$(\bar{M}, \omega)$ be a compact symplectic manifold with convex boundary and c1(TM¯)=0$c_1(T\bar{M})=0$. Suppose that (M¯,ω)$(\bar{M}, \omega)$ is equipped with a convex Hamiltonian G$G$‐action for some connected, compact Lie group G$G$.

The quantum theory of Chern-Simons supergravity [PDF]
Abstract We consider AdS 3 N-extended Chern-Simons supergravity (à la Achucarro-Townsend) and we study its gauge symmetries. We promote those gauge symmetries to a BRST symmetry and we perform its quantization by choosing suitable gauge-fixings. The resulting quantum theories have different features which we

Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory and an ambiguity in Chern-Simons perturbation theory
Abstract We calculate the one-loop effective potential for a matter scalar field in the N =2 supersymmetric Maxwell-Chern-Simons model. It is found that the degeneracy of the classical potential is not lifted by radiative corrections. We show that reduction to the effective potential for the Chern-Simons theory as a limit from the Maxwell-Chern ...
