Discovery of Lasioglossum albescens (Smith, 1853) (Hymenoptera, Halictidae) from the Kinmen Islands, Taiwan [PDF]
Lasioglossum albescens (Smith, 1853) is recorded from Taiwan for the first time. The specimens were collected in the Kinmen Islands, several kilometers east of Xiamen, in Fujian, China. This species is distinguished from the other Taiwanese Lasioglossum (

Type IIB 7-branes in warped AdS 6: partition functions, brane webs and probe limit
We study Type IIB supergravity solutions with spacetime of the form AdS 6×S 2 warped over a Riemann surface Σ, where Σ includes punctures around which the super-gravity fields have non-trivial SL(2, R) monodromy.

Eggs for breakfast? Analysis of a probable mosasaur biting trace on the Cretaceous echinoid Echinocorys ovata Leske, 1778 [PDF]
Fossil biting traces (praedichnia) represent indirect evidence of predation and shed light on fossil predator–prey interactions and fossil food webs. Especially from echinoderm skeletons, biting traces are well known.

Oriented Open-Closed String Theory Revisited [PDF]
String theory on D-brane backgrounds is open-closed string theory. Given the relevance of this fact, we give details and elaborate upon our earlier construction of oriented open-closed string field theory.

The dimensionality of the Hilbert space of a Chern–Simons theory on a 3-fold, in the presence of Wilson lines carrying spin representations, had been counted by using its link with the Wess–Zumino theory, with level k, on the 2-sphere with points (to be ...

New Moduli Spaces from String Background Independence Consistency Conditions
In string field theory an infinitesimal background deformation is implemented as a canonical transformation whose hamiltonian function is defined by moduli spaces of punctured Riemann surfaces having one special puncture.

Entropy of Quantum Black Holes [PDF]
In the Loop Quantum Gravity, black holes (or even more general Isolated Horizons) are described by a SU(2) Chern-Simons theory. There is an equivalent formulation of the horizon degrees of freedom in terms of a U(1) gauge theory which is just a gauged ...
