Abstract In this paper, we study the left‐orderability of 3‐manifold groups using an enhancement, called recalibration, of Calegari and Dunfield's ‘flipping’ construction, used for modifying Homeo+(S1)$\text{Homeo}_+(S^1)$‐representations of the fundamental groups of closed 3‐manifolds.

Asymptotic Behavior of Saxion–Axion System in Stringy Quintessence Model
Abstract The late time behavior of the slow‐roll parameter in the stringy quintessence model is studied when axion as well as saxion are allowed to move. Even though the potential is independent of the axion at tree level, the axion can move through its coupling to the saxion and the background geometry.

Four-dimensional de Sitter space is a Glauber-Sudarshan state in string theory
We show that four-dimensional de Sitter space is a Glauber-Sudarshan state, i.e. a coherent state, over a supersymmetric solitonic background in full string theory. We argue that such a state is only realized in the presence of temporally varying degrees

The computational design and 3D printing of heat‐sink‐integrated self‐heat‐dissipation thermoelectric legs for enhancing power‐generating performance are reported. The viscoelastic inks of n‐type AgBiSe2 and p‐type AgSbTe2 are formulated and 3D‐printed to create the designed architectures with the maximum ZT values of 0.5 and 1.2.

Flux compactifications in Einstein-Born-Infeld theories [PDF]
We investigate the flux compactification mechanism in simple toy models of Einstein-Born-Infeld theories. These are the direct generalizations of the Einstein-Maxwell flux compactifications that recently gained fame as a toy model for tunneling in the landscape.

Supersymmetric Flux Compactifications and Calabi-Yau Modularity [PDF]
Flux compactification of IIB string theory associates special points in Calabi-Yau moduli space to choices of (pairs of) integral three-form fluxes. In this paper, we propose that supersymmetric flux vacua are modular. That is, to a supersymmetric flux vacuum arising in a variety defined over $\mathbb{Q}$, we associate a two-dimensional Galois ...

Delineation of basins and hills by Morse theory and critical nets
Abstract The delineation of two‐dimensional ascending and descending manifolds represents the theoretical basis for a large number of applications in which functions fx,y are used to describe phenomena related to climate, economy, or engineering, to mention only a few.

Racetrack potentials and the de Sitter swampland conjectures
We show that one can find de Sitter critical points (saddle points) in models of flux compactification of Type IIB String Theory without any uplifting terms and in the presence of several moduli.

Atomic Scale Insights into Reversible Oxygen Storage in Vanadium Oxide Thin Films
Scanning tunneling microscopy and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy are employed to explore mechanisms of reversible oxygen storage in vanadium−oxide thin films on Pt(111) at the atomic scale. Abstract Monolayer vanadium oxide films grown on Pt(111) can be reversibly switched between an oxygen‐poor and an oxygen‐rich composition, equivalent to V2O3 and ...

Limits of conical Kähler–Einstein metrics on rank one horosymmetric spaces
Abstract We consider families of conical Kähler–Einstein metrics on rank one horosymmetric Fano manifolds, with decreasing cone angles along a codimension one orbit. At the limit angle, which is positive, we show that the metrics, restricted to the complement of that orbit, converge to (the pull‐back of) the Kähler–Einstein metric on the basis of the ...
