Topological Point Defects in SmC* Liquid Crystals Under Mechanical Disturbance

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 13, Issue 11, 9 June 2026.
Tangetial air jet shear inducess island formation and nucleates topological point defects in uniform SmC films. Island bounded by edge dislocation loops shrink and transform into isolated point defects under continued shear. Mechanical perturbatio provides a controllable route for defect engineering in smectric liquid crystal thin films.

Quantum cosmology from quantum gravity condensates: cosmological variables and lattice-refined dynamics

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2014
In the context of group field theory condensate cosmology, we clarify the extraction of cosmological variables from the microscopic quantum gravity degrees of freedom.

Mimetic gravity: mimicking the dynamics of the primeval universe in the context of loop quantum cosmology

open access: yesEuropean Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2019
Mimetic gravity can be described as a formulation capable of mimicking different evolutionary scenarios regarding the universe dynamics. Notwithstanding its initial aim of producing a similar evolution to the one expected from the dark components of the ...

Slowly Rotating Traversable Wormholes Supported by Radially Varying String‐Fluid Matter: From Regular Geometries to Photon Trajectories

open access: yesAnnalen der Physik, Volume 538, Issue 6, June 2026.
This study examines slowly rotating traversable wormholes supported by string fluids whose properties change with radius. The matter smoothly shifts from a de Sitter‐like core to a string‐dominated exterior, producing a regular, horizon‐free spacetime.

Cosmology as a CFT1

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2019
We show that the simplest FLRW cosmological system consisting in the homo- geneous and isotropic massless Einstein-Scalar system enjoys a hidden conformal symmetry under the 1D conformal group SL(2, ℝ) acting as Mobius transformations in proper time ...

Work Versus Force: Simultaneous Processes for Describing Interactions

open access: yesAdvanced Physics Research, Volume 5, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Achieving a unified description of interactions remains an open challenge in theoretical physics, which currently describes four fundamental forces. This situation may be viewed differently when interactions are formulated in terms of processes (work as actio) rather than forces (force as actio), not only at the macroscopic level but also at ...

Cosmology from quantum potential

open access: yesPhysics Letters B, 2015
It was shown recently that replacing classical geodesics with quantal (Bohmian) trajectories gives rise to a quantum corrected Raychaudhuri equation (QRE).

Background Instability of Quintessence Model in Light of Entropy and Distance Conjecture

open access: yesFortschritte der Physik, Volume 74, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT We apply the covariant entropy bound argument supporting the de Sitter swampland conjecture to the quintessence model, to find out the condition for the background to be unstable. More concretely, the background is unstable when the matter entropy given by the species number of the effective field theory increases more rapidly than the ...
