Nonlinear optical diode effect in a magnetic Weyl semimetal

Diode effects are of great interest for both fundamental physics and modern technologies. Electrical diode effects (nonreciprocal transport) have been observed in Weyl systems. Optical diode effects arising from the Weyl fermions have been theoretically co ...

Weyl metallic state induced by helical magnetic order

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Jan Hugo Dil, Ivica Zivkovic, Jian Rui Soh, Xupeng Yang

In the rapidly expanding field of topological materials there is growing interest in systems whose topological electronic band features can be induced or controlled by magnetism. Magnetic Weyl semimetals, which contain linear band crossings near the Fermi ...

A DONALDSON-THOMAS CREPANT RESOLUTION CONJECTURE ON CALABI-YAU 4-FOLDS

Sergej Monavari

Let G be a finite subgroup of SU(4) such that its elements have age at most one. In the first part of this paper, we define K-theoretic stable pair invariants on a crepant resolution of the affine quotient C4/G, and conjecture a closed formula for their ge ...

Duality and bicrystals on infinite binary matrices

Thomas Gerber

The set of finite binary matrices of a given size is known to carry a finite type AA bicrystal structure. We first review this classical construction, explain how it yields a short proof of the equality between Kostka polynomials and one-dimensional sums t ...

Almost impossible E_8 and Leech lattices

Maryna Viazovska

We start this short note by introducing two remarkable mathematical objects: the E8E8 root lattice Lambda8Lambda8 in 8-dimensional Euclidean space and the Leech lattice Lambda24Lambda24 in 24-dimensional space. These two lattices stand out among their lat ...

Orbital effect and weak localization in the longitudinal magnetoresistance of Weyl semimetals NbP, NbAs, TaP, and TaAs

Philip Johannes Walter Moll

Weyl semimetals such as the TaAs family (TaAs, TaP, NbAs, NbP) host quasiparticle excitations resemblingthe long-sought-after Weyl fermions at special band-crossing points in the band structure denoted as Weylnodes. They are predicted to exhibit a negative ...

Time-reversal symmetry breaking type-II Weyl state in YbMnBi2

Daniil Yevtushynsky

Spectroscopic detection of Dirac and Weyl fermions in real materials is vital for both, promising applications and fundamental bridge between high-energy and condensed-matter physics. While the presence of Dirac and noncentrosymmetric Weyl fermions is well ...

Generalized Norm-compatible Systems on Unitary Shimura Varieties

Mohamed Réda Boumasmoud

We define and study in terms of integral Iwahoriâ Hecke algebras a new class of geometric operators acting on the Bruhat-Tits building of connected reductive groups over p-adic fields. These operators, which we call U-operators, generalize the geometric n ...

Weyl and Ricci gauging from the coset construction

Alexander Monin, Georgios Karananas

In this paper we demonstrate how, using the coset construction, a theory can be systematically made Weyl invariant by gauging the scale symmetry. We show that an analog of the inverse Higgs constraint allows the elimination of the Weyl vector (gauge) field ...

Observation of Weyl nodes and Fermi arcs in tantalum phosphide

Joël Mesot, Oleg Yazyev, Gabriel Albert Autes

A Weyl semimetal possesses spin-polarized band-crossings, called Weyl nodes, connected by topological surface arcs. The low-energy excitations near the crossing points behave the same as massless Weyl fermions, leading to exotic properties like chiral anom ...

An indiscrete Bieberbach theorem: from amenable CAT$(0)$ groups to Tits buildings

Nicolas Monod

Non-positively curved spaces admitting a cocompact isometric action of an amenable group are investigated. A classification is established under the assumption that there is no global fixed point at infinity under the full isometry group. The visual bounda ...

Effects of hydropeaking waves offsets on growth performances of juvenile Salix species

Alexandre Buttler, Paolo Perona, Pascal Turberg, Constant Signarbieux, Lorenzo Gorla

Hydropower production and other human activities change the natural flow regime of rivers (e.g., hydropeaking effects), in turn, impacting the riparian environment. Here we present an experiment conceived to investigate the response of forced offsets in wa ...

Influence of root characteristics and soil variables on the uprooting mechanics of Avena sativa and Medicago sativa seedlings

Paolo Perona, Benoît Crouzy, Paolo Burlando, Katharina Maria Edmaier

The success of seedlings and rejuvenated woody debris growing on river bedforms depends on the resistance to uprooting by flow provided by their simple root architecture. Avena sativa and Medicago sativa seedlings were used in flume experiments as prototyp ...

Let L be a lattice in . This paper provides two methods to obtain upper bounds on the number of points of L contained in a small sphere centered anywhere in . The first method is based on the observation that if the sphere is sufficiently small then the la ...

Stability of Equilibria for the so(4) Free Rigid Body

Tudor Ratiu

The stability for all generic equilibria of the Lie-Poisson dynamics of the so(4) rigid body dynamics is completely determined. It is shown that for the generalized rigid body certain Cartan subalgebras (called of coordinate type) of so(n) are equilibrium ...

Degree and valuation of the Schur elements of cyclotomic Hecke algebras
