Universality classes of topological phase transitions with higher-order band crossing
In topological insulators and topological superconductors, the discrete jump of the topological invariant upon tuning a certain system parameter defines a topological phase transition. A unified framework is employed to address the quantum criticality of

Curvature squared invariants in six-dimensional N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = (1, 0) supergravity
We describe the supersymmetric completion of several curvature-squared invariants for N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = (1, 0) supergravity in six dimensions. The construction of the invariants is based on a close interplay between superconformal tensor calculus and

The type N Karlhede bound is sharp
We present a family of four-dimensional Lorentzian manifolds whose invariant classification requires the seventh covariant derivative of the curvature tensor.

Recent developments in δ-Casorati curvature invariants
One of the basic problems in submanifold theory is to find simple relationships between the main extrinsic and intrinsic invariants of a submanifold. In order to obtain viable solutions to this problem, the author introduced in the early 1990's new types of Riemannian invariants, known as \(\delta\)-invariants or Chen invariants.

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

An Inequality on Quaternionic CR-Submanifolds
We establish an inequality for an intrinsic invariant of Chen-type defined on quaternionic CR-submanifolds in quaternionic space forms, in terms of the squared mean curvature, the main extrinsic invariant, by using the method of constrained extrema.

Concavity and rigidity in non-negative curvature [PDF]
This is a significantly improved version with new applications. We show that there are many cohomogeneity one manifolds which do not admit an analytic invariant metric with non-negative sectional curvature, although they do have a smooth one.

Q-curvature Flow for GJMS Operators with Non-trivial Kernel
We investigate the prescribed Q-curvature flow for GJMS operators with non-trivial kernel on compact manifolds of even dimension. When the total Q-curvature is negative, we identify a conformally invariant condition on the nodal domains of functions in ...

Weighing the curvature invariants
Abstract We prove several inequalities between the curvature invariants, which impose constraints on curvature singularities. Some of the inequalities hold for a family of spacetimes which include static, Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker, and Bianchi type I metrics, independently of whether they are solutions of some particular field ...

Sequence determinants of RNA G‐quadruplex unfolding by Arg‐rich regions
We show that Arg‐rich peptides selectively unfold RNA G‐quadruplexes, but not RNA stem‐loops or DNA/RNA duplexes. This length‐dependent activity is inhibited by acidic residues and is conserved among SR and SR‐related proteins (SRSF1, SRSF3, SRSF9, U1‐70K, and U2AF1).
