Cartographies of Clothing: On the Aesthetics and Practices of Property in Borderlands
ABSTRACT This article explores the symbolic and material role of clothing in shaping the aesthetics and practices of property among the Garos in the India‐Bangladesh borderlands. It argues that clothing functions as a mediator of territorial claims, transcending the legal frameworks of national and customary orders to offer alternative understandings ...

Polynomial $f(R)$ Palatini cosmology -- dynamical system approach
We investigate cosmological dynamics based on $f(R)$ gravity in the Palatini formulation. In this study we use the dynamical system methods. We show that the evolution of the Friedmann equation reduces to the form of the piece-wise smooth dynamical ...

Enhanced n-body annihilation of dark matter and its indirect signatures
We examine the possible indirect signatures of dark matter annihilation processes with a non-standard scaling with the dark matter density, and in particular the case where more than two dark matter particles participate in the annihilation process.

Dark Dimension With (Little) Strings Attached
Abstract A relation between dark energy and the scale of new physics in weakly coupled string theory is motivated. This mixing between infrared and ultraviolet physics leads to a unique corner for real‐world phenomenology: barring fine‐tunings, the authors are naturally led to the “dark dimension” scenario, a single mesoscopic extra dimension of micron

The unexpected resurgence of Weyl geometry in late 20-th century physics
Weyl's original scale geometry of 1918 ("purely infinitesimal geometry") was withdrawn by its author from physical theorizing in the early 1920s. It had a comeback in the last third of the 20th century in different contexts: scalar tensor theories of ...

Dark Nuclei I: Cosmology and Indirect Detection [PDF]
In a companion paper (to be presented), lattice field theory methods are used to show that in two-color, two-flavor QCD there are stable nuclear states in the spectrum.

Axion global fits with Peccei-Quinn symmetry breaking before inflation using GAMBIT
We present global fits of cosmologically stable axion-like particle and QCD axion models in the mass range 0.1 neV to 10 eV. We focus on the case where the Peccei-Quinn symmetry is broken before the end of inflation, such that the initial value of the ...

Questioning the Reliability of Methane Detections on Mars by the Curiosity Rover
Abstract Over the past decade, the Tunable Laser Spectrometer (TLS) on NASA's Curiosity rover has reported several detections of methane on Mars, attracting attention due to the potential astrobiological implications of its presence. Here, we re‐analyze published TLS data, identifying issues in data robustness and reduction.

Physics of the linear collider
This presentation intends to illustrate the specific capabilities of an e$^+$e$^-$ sub-TeV collider to provide answers on the basic issues in physics: origin of mass, hierarchy of masses, cosmological problems.

Coscattering/coannihilation dark matter in a fraternal twin Higgs model
Dark matter candidates arise naturally in many models that address the hierarchy problem. In the fraternal twin Higgs model which could explain the absence of the new physics signals at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), there are several viable dark ...
