Symmetric space λ-model exchange algebra from 4d holomorphic Chern-Simons theory

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2021
We derive, within the Hamiltonian formalism, the classical exchange algebra of a lambda deformed string sigma model in a symmetric space directly from a 4d holomorphic Chern-Simons theory.

Emergent Berry Curvature in Inversion‐Symmetric Photonic Crystals for Ultraconfined Topological States

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
In this work, nonzero Berry curvature in photonic crystals is induced by breaking unit cell inversion symmetry through spatial shifts rather than geometrical modifications. This enables the design of ultraconfined topological states with subwavelength in‐plane field confinement and out‐of‐plane field isolation.

Methodology for Topological Interface Engineering in 2D Photonic Crystals

open access: yesAdvanced Photonics Research, EarlyView.
This article introduces an automated framework for topological photonic crystal design. It features an iterative band connection method for identifying band crossings, a data‐driven approach for band symmetry recognition, and analysis of how topological mode dispersion trades off with photonic band‐gap size.

Two Types of Non‐Abelian Topological Phase Transitions Under Duality Mapping in 1D Photonic Chains

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
In this work, two types of non‐Abelian phase transitions are revealed. The first type is the braided‐node type, signified by the Dirac degeneracy node moving into or out of the unit circle. The second type corresponds to the emerging of nodal‐line degeneracy which intersects with unit circles.

Fivebranes and 3-manifold homology

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2017
Motivated by physical constructions of homological knot invariants, we study their analogs for closed 3-manifolds. We show that fivebrane compactifications provide a universal description of various old and new homological invariants of 3-manifolds.

Environmentally Friendly Nanofiber Cellulose From Durian Rinds: A Sustainable Alternative Biomass Resource

open access: yesAsia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A novel, efficient, and eco‐friendly sustainable process has been developed for the extraction of cellulose nanofibers (CNF) from durian rinds. The method utilizes low‐molecular‐weight 2,2,6,6‐tetramethylpiperidine‐1‐oxyl (TEMPO) as an oxidation agent, in conjunction with sonication treatment, resulting in a significant reduction of processing

Symmetric Space Cartan Connections and Gravity in Three and Four Dimensions

open access: yesSymmetry, Integrability and Geometry: Methods and Applications, 2009
Einstein gravity in both 3 and 4 dimensions, as well as some interesting generalizations, can be written as gauge theories in which the connection is a Cartan connection for geometry modeled on a symmetric space.

SL(2,C) Chern–Simons theory, a non-planar graph operator, and 4D quantum gravity with a cosmological constant: Semiclassical geometry

open access: yesNuclear Physics B, 2015
We study the expectation value of a nonplanar Wilson graph operator in SL(2,C) Chern–Simons theory on S3. In particular we analyze its asymptotic behavior in the double-scaling limit in which both the representation labels and the Chern–Simons coupling ...

A comment on metric vs metric-affine gravity

open access: yesPhysics Letters B, 2023
We consider the sum of the Einstein-Hilbert action and a Pontryagin density (PD) in arbitrary even dimension D≥4. All curvatures are functions of independent affine (torsionless) connections only.
