On exotic consistent anomalies in (1+1)$d$: A ghost story
We revisit 't Hooft anomalies in (1+1)$d$ non-spin quantum field theory, starting from the consistency and locality conditions, and find that consistent U(1) and gravitational anomalies cannot always be canceled by properly quantized (2+1)$d$ classical ...

The Hitchin-Witten Connection and Complex Quantum Chern-Simons Theory
We give a direct calculation of the curvature of the Hitchin connection, in geometric quantization on a symplectic manifold, using only differential geometric techniques. In particular, we establish that the curvature acts as a first-order operator on the quantum spaces.

Cosmological time and the constants of nature
We propose that cosmological time is effectively the conjugate of the constants of nature. Different definitions of time arise, with the most relevant related to the constant controlling the dynamics in each epoch. The Hamiltonian constraint then becomes

From a database of 170 pentagonal 2D materials, 4 candidates exhibiting altermagnetic ordering are screened. Furthermore, the spin‐splitting and unconventional boundary states in the pentagonal 2D altermagnetic monolayer MnS2 are investigated. A MnS2‐based altermagnetic tunneling junction is designed and, through ab initio quantum transport simulations,

Advances in Topological Thermoelectrics: Harnessing Quantum Materials for Energy Applications
Topological materials offer a novel platform for thermoelectric energy conversion through unique band features, including band inversion, linear Dirac bands, surface states, and Berry curvature. These quantum characteristics enable enhanced longitudinal and transverse thermoelectric effects, establishing topological thermoelectrics as a promising ...

On Weil homomorphism in locally free sheaves over structured spaces
Inspired by the work of Heller and Sasin [1], we construct in this paper Weil homomorphism in a locally free sheaf W of ϕ-fields [2] over a structured space.

$SO/Sp$ Chern-Simons Gauge Theories At Large $N$, $SO/Sp$ Penner Models And The Gauge Group Volumes
We construct a deformed $SO/Sp$ Penner generating function responsible for the close connection between $SO/Sp$ Chern-Simons gauge theories at large $N$ and the $SO/Sp$ Penner models.

Topological Singularities and Edge‐State Coupling Enable Robust on‐Chip Slow Light
This work demonstrates the first experimental observation of a topological quantum‐interference‐like effect in a 1D on‐chip system, utilizing two topological mechanisms for robust slow light. Topological charges ensure immunity to parameter deviations, while edge states provide robustness against disturbances.
