Classical aspects of higher spin topologically massive gravity

open access: yes, 2012
We study the classical solutions of three-dimensional topologically massive gravity (TMG) and its higher spin generalization, in the first-order formulation. The action of higher spin TMG has been proposed by Chen and Long (2011 J.

Micro/Nanoscale Acoustic Manipulation: From Particle Control to Autonomous Microswimmers

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This conceptual framework illustrates acoustic technology as a multifunctional platform enabling passive particle manipulation across scales and autonomous propulsion of microswimmers. ABSTRACT Acoustic manipulation and propulsion technologies have emerged as powerful platforms for micro/nanoscale control, enabled by their non‐contact operation, label ...

Bioinspired Metastable Transient Peeling for Repeatable Rapid Release

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Inspired by the explosive seed ejection of the squirting cucumber, this work introduces metastable transient peeling that temporally regulates stored interfacial energy release via a tunable energy barrier. A viscoelastic hemispherical gripper achieves 52 ms ultrafast, residue‐free release with 300 000‐cycle durability, enabling damage‐free handling of

Ghost-free infinite derivative gravity

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2018
We present the construction of a gravitational action including an infinite series of higher derivative terms. The outcome is a classically consistent completion of a well-studied quadratic curvature theory.

Engineering a Correlated Narrow‐Gap Semiconductor: Effects of Ga Substitution in EuZn2P2

open access: yesAdvanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The effect of Ga substitution on the electronic, magnetic, and low‐energy responses of the Zintl phase EuZn2P2${\rm EuZn}_2 {\rm P}_2$ is investigated by electrical transport, electron spin resonance (ESR), and terahertz time‐domain spectroscopy (THz‐TDS). Incorporating Ga into EuZn2P2${\rm EuZn}_2 {\rm P}_2$ (EuZn1.8Ga0.2P2${\rm EuZn}_{1.8} {\

Sachs’ free data in real connection variables

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2017
We discuss the Hamiltonian dynamics of general relativity with real connection variables on a null foliation, and use the Newman-Penrose formalism to shed light on the geometric meaning of the various constraints.

Not All Agreements Are Equal: Heterogeneous Effects of RTAs on Latin American Agri‐Food Exports, 1990–2019

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Since the final decade of the 20th century, Latin American countries have increasingly regarded the signing of regional trade agreements (RTAs) as a promising strategy for expanding their exports. Within this context, the main objective of this study is to assess the impact of RTAs on agri‐food exports in Latin America over the period 1990 ...

Universal spacetimes in four dimensions

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2017
Universal spacetimes are exact solutions to all higher-order theories of gravity. We study these spacetimes in four dimensions and provide necessary and sufficient conditions for universality for all Petrov types except of type II.
