In optical fields, where multiple vortices coexist, the local nature of vortex OAM and the absence of a common rotation axis make the total OAM of the field difficult to quantify. Here, we introduce the R index—a metric that captures the intrinsic OAM content of any structured optical field, from pure Laguerre–Gaussian modes to arbitrary multi vortex superpositions. Not only does this metric quantify the total OAM, it also assesses field purity, providing insight into the fidelity and robustness of the OAM generation. By unifying OAM characterization into a single figure of merit, the R index enables direct comparison across diverse beam profiles and facilitates the identification of optimal configurations for both foundational studies and applied technologies."}],"article_number":"015071","publication_status":"published","status":"public","department":[{"_id":"MiLe"}],"user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","doi":"10.1088/2515-7647/ae3506","project":[{"name":"Coherent Optical Metrology Beyond Electric-Dipole-Allowed Transitions","grant_number":"F100403","_id":"7c040762-9f16-11ee-852c-dd79eeee4ab3"}],"day":"10","issue":"1","file_date_updated":"2026-03-23T13:24:01Z","oa":1},{"acknowledgement":"Z. A. acknowledges support from the collaborative research project SFB Q-M&S funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF, Grant No. PR1050F8602).

Extending it into the nonlinear regime broadens its scope and can provide valuable insight into interactions among these modes. However, interpreting nonlinear spectra is challenging because resonant features in this case do not always reflect intrinsic material dynamics. Here, we study nonlinear THz-induced Kerr effect in a generic material LaAlO3. After detailed analysis of temporal oscillations of the Kerr signal, we identify an 𝐸𝑔 Raman mode at 1.1 THz excited through a two-photon process, while two additional peaks (0.86 and 0.36 THz) arise from phase matching of the near-infrared probe beam with co- and counterpropagating THz pump fields, mediated by off-resonant electronic hyperpolarizability. These results demonstrate the crucial role of kinematic effects in shaping THz-induced Kerr response and establish a framework for interpreting nonlinear spectroscopies in complex materials.","lang":"eng"}],"article_number":"106901","article_type":"original","volume":136,"date_created":"2026-03-22T23:04:31Z","tmp":{"short":"CC BY (4.0)","image":"/images/cc_by.png","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)"},"scopus_import":"1","intvolume":"       136"},{"year":"2026","acknowledgement":"We acknowledge the generosity of the patients, who contributed time and effort to take part in this study.","OA_place":"publisher","file":[{"success":1,"date_updated":"2026-03-23T14:27:39Z","access_level":"open_access","relation":"main_file","content_type":"application/pdf","creator":"dernst","file_id":"21478","checksum":"b5b45c16defeaf88056fc3b939bd0350","file_size":33974419,"date_created":"2026-03-23T14:27:39Z","file_name":"2026_BrainCommunications_Cardenas.pdf"}],"month":"03","_id":"21473","citation":{"ama":"Cardenas AR, Ramirez Villegas JF, Kovach CK, et al.

Whereas animal studies have offered cellular- and synaptic-level accounts of these effects, human neuroimaging studies show that exercise improves hippocampal-cortical connectivity at the macroscale level. However, the neurophysiological basis of exercise-induced effects on hippocampal-cortical circuits remains unknown. Experimental evidence supports the idea that hippocampal sharp wave-ripples (SWR) play a critical role in learning and memory. Coupling between SWRs in the hippocampus and neocortex may reflect modulations in inter-regional connectivity required by mnemonic processes. Here, we examine the hypothesis that exercise modulates hippocampal-cortical ripple dynamics in the human brain. We performed intracranial recordings in epilepsy patients undergoing pre-surgical evaluation, during awake resting state, before and after an exercise session. Exercise increased ripple rate in the hippocampus. Exercise also enhanced the coupling and phase-synchrony between cortical ripples in the limbic and the default mode (DM) cortical networks and hippocampal SWRs. Further, a higher heart rate during exercise, reflecting exercise intensity, was related to a subsequent increase in resting state ripples across specific cortical networks, including the DM network. These results offer the first direct evidence that a single exercise session elicits changes in ripple events, a well-established neurophysiological marker of mnemonic processing. The characterisation and anatomical distribution of the described modulation points to hippocampal ripples as a potential mechanism by which exercise elicits its reported short-term effects in cognition.","lang":"eng"}],"volume":8,"date_created":"2026-03-22T23:04:34Z","article_type":"original","oa_version":"Published Version","OA_type":"gold","intvolume":"         8","tmp":{"short":"CC BY (4.0)","image":"/images/cc_by.png","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)"},"scopus_import":"1"},{"issue":"3","file_date_updated":"2026-03-23T14:01:44Z","oa":1,"status":"public","publication_status":"published","day":"11","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","department":[{"_id":"NiBa"},{"_id":"GradSch"}],"doi":"10.1002/ajb2.70175","oa_version":"Published Version","pmid":1,"OA_type":"hybrid","article_number":"e70175","article_type":"letter_note","date_created":"2026-03-22T23:04:33Z","volume":113,"tmp":{"short":"CC BY (4.0)","image":"/images/cc_by.png","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)"},"external_id":{"pmid":["41814642"]},"scopus_import":"1","intvolume":"       113","acknowledgement":"We thank the Barton group at the Institute of Scienceand Technology Austria for many fruitful conversationsthat triggered the germination of the ideas and questions discussed here.

With the advent of JWST, we are now able to routinely observe Hα in galaxies at high redshift (z ≳ 3) and thus measure their star formation rates (SFRs). However, using classical SFR(Hα) calibrations to derive the SFRs leads to biased results because high-redshift galaxies are commonly characterized by low metallicities and bursty star formation histories, affecting the conversion factor between the Hα luminosity (LHα) and the SFR. We developed a set of new SFR(Hα) calibrations that allowed us to predict the SFRs of Hα-emitters at z ≳ 3 with very little error. We used the SPHINX cosmological simulations to select a sample of star-forming galaxies representative of the Hα-emitter population observed with JWST. We then derived linear corrections to the classical SFR(Hα) calibrations that took variations in the physical properties (e.g., stellar metallicities) among individual galaxies into account. We obtained two new SFR(Hα) calibrations that compared to the classical calibrations reduce the root mean squared error (RMSE) in the predicted SFRs by ΔRMSE ≈ 0.04 dex and ΔRMSE ≈ 0.06 dex, respectively. Using the recent JWST NIRCam/grism observations of Hα-emitters at z ∼ 6, we show that the new calibrations affect the high-redshift galaxy population statistics: (i) the estimated cosmic SFR density decreases by ΔρSFR ≈ 12%, and (ii) the observed slope of the star formation main sequence increases by Δ∂logSFR/∂logM★ = 0.08 ± 0.02.","lang":"eng"}],"volume":707,"date_created":"2026-03-23T14:58:03Z","article_type":"original","oa_version":"Published Version","OA_type":"diamond","intvolume":"       707","external_id":{"arxiv":["2509.05403"]},"tmp":{"short":"CC BY (4.0)","image":"/images/cc_by.png","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)"}},{"_id":"21480","date_updated":"2026-03-23T15:39:34Z","citation":{"short":"M.

The tensor optimization is carried out sequentially, similarly to the well-known density matrix renormalization group algorithm. Our approach is provably efficient under certain technical conditions expected to be met in short-range correlated states and in typical noisy experimental settings. Under the same conditions, we also provide an efficient scheme to estimate fidelities between the learned and the experimental states.

A key prerequisite is the feedback between auxin signaling and directional auxin transport, mediated by PIN transporters. Despite the developmental importance of canalization, the molecular components linking auxin perception to the regulation of PIN auxin transporters remain poorly understood. Here, we identify TOW, a novel and essential component of auxin canalization that links intracellular auxin signaling with cell surface auxin perception. TOW is regulated downstream of TIR1/AFB-Aux/IAA-WRKY23 transcriptional auxin signaling. tow mutants exhibit defects in regeneration and de novo vasculature formation, along with impaired formation of polarized, PIN-expressing auxin channels. At the subcellular level, these mutants display disrupted auxin-induced PIN polarization and altered PIN endocytic trafficking dynamics. TOW localizes predominantly to the plasma membrane, where it interacts with receptor-like kinases involved in auxin canalization, including the TMK1 auxin co-receptor and the CAMEL-CANAR complex. TOW promotes PIN interaction with these kinases and stabilizes PINs at the cell surface. Together, our findings identify TOW as a molecular link between intracellular and cell surface auxin signaling mechanisms that converge on PIN trafficking and polarity, providing new insights into how auxin signaling regulates directional auxin transport for the self-organizing formation of vasculature during flexible plant development."}],"publication_status":"published","status":"public","acknowledged_ssus":[{"_id":"MassSpec"},{"_id":"Bio"},{"_id":"LifeSc"}],"doi":"10.1016/j.cub.2026.02.023","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","department":[{"_id":"JiFr"}],"day":"23","project":[{"_id":"8f347782-16d5-11f0-9cad-8c19706ee739","grant_number":"101142681","name":"Cyclic nucleotides as second messengers in plants"},{"_id":"bd906599-d553-11ed-ba76-abf8547645d7","grant_number":"E271","name":"Identification of a novel regulator in auxin canalization"}],"PlanS_conform":"1","issue":"6","file_date_updated":"2026-03-24T08:34:37Z","oa":1,"publication":"Current Biology","ddc":["580"],"article_processing_charge":"Yes (via OA deal)","publication_identifier":{"issn":["0960-9822"]},"quality_controlled":"1","title":"Receptor-like-kinase-interacting protein TOW stabilizes PIN transporters for auxin canalization","author":[{"full_name":"Li, Mingyue","last_name":"Li","id":"01f96916-0235-11eb-9379-a323192643b7","first_name":"Mingyue"},{"full_name":"Rydza, Nikola","first_name":"Nikola","last_name":"Rydza"},{"first_name":"Ewa","last_name":"Mazur","full_name":"Mazur, Ewa"},{"id":"34F1AF46-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Gergely","last_name":"Molnar","full_name":"Molnar, Gergely"},{"full_name":"Nodzyński, Tomasz","first_name":"Tomasz","last_name":"Nodzyński"},{"last_name":"Friml","id":"4159519E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Jiří","full_name":"Friml, Jiří","orcid":"0000-0002-8302-7596"}],"date_published":"2026-03-23T00:00:00Z","has_accepted_license":"1","type":"journal_article","corr_author":"1","publisher":"Elsevier","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"month":"03","citation":{"chicago":"Li, Mingyue, Nikola Rydza, Ewa Mazur, Gergely Molnar, Tomasz Nodzyński, and Jiří Friml. “Receptor-like-Kinase-Interacting Protein TOW Stabilizes PIN Transporters for Auxin Canalization.” <i>Current Biology</i>.

Diptera have undergone multiple sex-chromosome turnovers and expansions while maintaining their general chromosomal content, which makes them an ideal clade to study such transitions. We analyzed more than 100 dipteran whole-genome assemblies and identified 4 new lineages that underwent sex-chromosome turnover (in addition to the 5 previously reported). We find that the majority of turnovers happened in the group Schizophora, which tend to have fewer genes on Muller element F (the chromosome homologous to the ancestral insect X chromosome) than lower dipterans, a factor previously hypothesized to facilitate turnover. Most derived X chromosomes have higher GC content than autosomes, consistent with a high prevalence of male achiasmy in Diptera. In addition, an excess of gene movement out of the X is detected for most of these new X chromosomes, and many of these moved genes have high testis expression in Drosophila, suggesting that out-of-X gene movement contributes to the long-term demasculinization of X chromosomes."}],"article_number":"qrag003","publication_status":"epub_ahead","status":"public","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","department":[{"_id":"BeVi"},{"_id":"GradSch"}],"doi":"10.1093/evlett/qrag003","project":[{"name":"Sex chromosomes in evolution and development","_id":"8ed82125-16d5-11f0-9cad-fbcae312235b","grant_number":"PAT 8748323"}],"day":"12","oa":1,"main_file_link":[{"open_access":"1","url":"https://doi.org/10.1093/evlett/qrag003"}]},{"date_updated":"2026-03-24T08:26:10Z","_id":"21489","citation":{"chicago":"Elkner, Mischa M. “On Involutions of Minuscule Kirillov Algebras Induced by Real Structures.” <i>Transformation Groups</i>.

To this end, we develop libraries in Lean 4 that present definitions and results from diverse areas of MathematiCS (i.e., Mathematics and Computer Science). The aim is to create code that is understandable, believable, useful, and elegant. The code should stand for itself as much as possible without a need for documentation; however, this text redundantly documents our code artifacts and provides additional context that isn’t present in the code. This thesis is written for readers who know Lean 4 but are not familiar with any of the topics presented. We manifest truth and beauty in three formalized areas of MathematiCS.\r\n\r\nWe formalize general grammars in Lean 4 and use grammars to show closure of the class of type-0 languages under four operations; union, reversal, concatenation, and the Kleene star.\r\n\r\nOur second stop is the theory of optimization. Farkas established that a system of linear inequalities has a solution if and only if we cannot obtain a contradiction by taking a linear combination of the inequalities. We state and formally prove several Farkas-like theorems over linearly ordered fields in Lean 4. Furthermore, we extend duality theory to the case when some coefficients are allowed to take “infinite values”. Additionally, we develop the basics of the theory of optimization in terms of the framework called General-Valued Constraint Satisfaction Problems, and we prove that, if a Rational-Valued Constraint Satisfaction Problem template has symmetric fractional polymorphisms of all arities, then its basic LP relaxation is tight.\r\n\r\nOur third stop is matroid theory. Seymour’s decomposition theorem is a hallmark result in matroid theory, presenting a structural characterization of the class of regular matroids. We aim to formally verify Seymour’s theorem in Lean 4. First, we build a library for working with totally unimodular matrices. We define binary matroids and their standard representations, and we prove that they form a matroid in the sense how Mathlib defines matroids. We define regular matroids to be matroids for which there exists a full representation rational matrix that is totally unimodular, and we prove that all regular matroids are binary. We define 1-sum, 2-sum, and 3 sum of binary matroids as specific ways to compose their standard representation matrices. We prove that the 1-sum, the 2-sum, and the 3-sum of regular matroids are a regular matroid, which concludes the composition direction of the Seymour’s theorem. The (more difficult) decomposition direction remains unproved.\r\n\r\nIn the pursuit of truth, we focus on identifying the trusted code in each project and presenting it faithfully. We emphasize the readability and believability of definitions rather than choosing definitions that are easier to work with. In search for beauty, we focus on the philosophical framework of Roger Scruton, who emphasizes that beauty is not a mere decoration but, most importantly, beauty is the means for shaping our place in the world and a source of redemption, where it can be viewed as a substitute for religion.","lang":"eng"}],"supervisor":[{"last_name":"Kolmogorov","first_name":"Vladimir","id":"3D50B0BA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Kolmogorov, Vladimir"},{"full_name":"Blanchette, Jasmin","first_name":"Jasmin","last_name":"Blanchette"}],"oa_version":"Published Version","doi":"10.15479/AT-ISTA-21393","user_id":"8b945eb4-e2f2-11eb-945a-df72226e66a9","department":[{"_id":"GradSch"},{"_id":"VlKo"}],"day":"04","publication_status":"published","status":"public","oa":1,"file_date_updated":"2026-03-04T09:03:37Z","article_processing_charge":"No","publication_identifier":{"issn":["2663-337X"],"isbn":["978-3-99078-074-9"]},"ddc":["511","000"],"date_published":"2026-03-04T00:00:00Z","has_accepted_license":"1","type":"dissertation","title":"Pursuit of truth and beauty in Lean 4 : Formally verified theory of grammars, optimization, matroids","alternative_title":["ISTA Thesis"],"author":[{"orcid":"0000-0001-5293-214X","full_name":"Dvorak, Martin","first_name":"Martin","id":"40ED02A8-C8B4-11E9-A9C0-453BE6697425","last_name":"Dvorak"}],"file":[{"access_level":"open_access","date_updated":"2026-03-04T08:56:15Z","success":1,"content_type":"application/pdf","relation":"main_file","file_id":"21394","creator":"mdvorak","file_name":"2026_Dvorak_Martin_Thesis.pdf","checksum":"cface6dc18152680962b5361575f6e4f","file_size":1771231,"date_created":"2026-03-04T08:56:15Z"},{"file_name":"2026_Dvorak_Martin_Thesis.docx","date_created":"2026-03-04T09:03:37Z","checksum":"290ddfacfb7e07fb07e6f0b334e67c90","file_size":864585,"file_id":"21395","creator":"mdvorak","content_type":"application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document","relation":"source_file","date_updated":"2026-03-04T09:03:37Z","access_level":"closed"}],"corr_author":"1","publisher":"Institute of Science and Technology Austria","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"month":"03","_id":"21393","citation":{"chicago":"Dvorak, Martin. “Pursuit of Truth and Beauty in Lean 4 : Formally Verified Theory of Grammars, Optimization, Matroids.” Institute of Science and Technology Austria, 2026. <a href=\"https://doi.org/10.15479/AT-ISTA-21393\">https://doi.org/10.15479/AT-ISTA-21393</a>.","ista":"Dvorak M. 2026.

Their quantum counterparts have recently drawn attention for exhibiting highly degenerate eigenstates at zero energy—known as zero modes—stemming from chiral symmetry. Yet, the structure and implications of these zero modes remain poorly understood. In this work, we focus on the properties of the zero mode subspace in quantum kinetically constrained models with a U(1) particle-conservation symmetry. We use the U(1) East, which lacks inversion symmetry, and the inversion-symmetric U(1) East-West models to illustrate our two main results. First, we observe that the simultaneous presence of constraints and chiral symmetry generally leads to a parametric increase in the number of zero modes due to the fragmentation of the many-body\r\nHilbert space into disconnected sectors. Second, we generalize the concept of compact localized states from single-particle physics and introduce the notion of collective bound states, a special kind of nonergodic eigenstates that are robust to enlarging the system size. We formulate sufficient criteria for their existence, arguing that the degenerate zero mode subspace plays a central role, and demonstrate bound states in both example models and in a two-dimensional model, the U(1) North-East, and in the pairflip model, a system without particle conservation. Our results motivate a systematic study of bound states and their relation to ergodicity breaking, transport, and other properties of quantum kinetically constrained\r\nmodels.

Altogether we analyzed 541 PharmVar alleles, high‑throughput CYP2C9 and CYP2C19 mutational maps, and 200 642 UK Biobank exomes linked with health records containing antidepressant treatment outcomes. Many evaluated tools, especially ensemble frameworks, matched or exceeded star allele classifications (ROC‑AUC up to 0.85 for allele definitions, 0.95 in vitro; TPR up to 0.99 for exomes) and accurately predicted severe antidepressant adverse events for carriers of deleterious variants in CYP2C19 (OR 1.20–1.35). Our findings show that computational predictors deliver star allele accuracy while overcoming their limitations. With additional validation, computational tools could enhance clinical decision frameworks by enabling continuous scoring, incorporating previously unknown variants, and providing genome-wide applicability.","lang":"eng"}],"article_number":"8","article_type":"original","volume":26,"date_created":"2026-03-29T22:07:08Z","oa_version":"Published Version","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/","pmid":1,"OA_type":"hybrid"},{"issue":"4","PlanS_conform":"1","oa":1,"file_date_updated":"2026-03-30T12:04:38Z","status":"public","publication_status":"published","day":"19","department":[{"_id":"AlMi"}],"user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","doi":"10.1016/j.molcel.2026.01.021","oa_version":"Published Version","pmid":1,"OA_type":"hybrid","abstract":[{"lang":"eng","text":"Chromatin remodeling complexes mobilize nucleosomes and promote transcription factor (TF) binding. Using ensemble and single-molecule assays combined with cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), we studied the interaction between pioneer TFs OCT4–SOX2 and the human BRG1/BRM-associated factor (BAF) complex on nucleosomes. BAF engages TF-bound substrates in two orientations, placing OCT4–SOX2 at either the remodeler ENTRY or EXIT site. At the ENTRY site, OCT4–SOX2 initially coexists with BAF without structural interference. However, continued DNA translocation is expected to cause collisions with bound TFs, which can trigger remodeling direction reversals or may induce TF dissociation. To accommodate TFs at the EXIT site, BAF undergoes structural rearrangements, and ensemble assays reveal a nucleosome subpopulation translocating away from TF-binding sites. Moreover, single-molecule experiments show that nucleosome-bound BAF frequently changes remodeling direction, and we identify an ADP-bound remodeler conformation as a potential intermediate. Together, these findings reveal key aspects of the conformational dynamics and remodeling outcomes underlying BAF processing of TF-bound nucleosomes."}],"article_type":"original","date_created":"2026-03-30T11:58:48Z","volume":86,"external_id":{"pmid":["41679301"]},"tmp":{"short":"CC BY (4.0)","image":"/images/cc_by.png","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)"},"scopus_import":"1","intvolume":"        86","OA_place":"publisher","acknowledgement":"We thank D.

Quadrupolar (ℓ = 2) mixed modes also contain information regarding internal dynamics but are very rarely characterised due to their low amplitude and the challenging identification of adjacent or overlapping rotationally split multiplets affected by near-degeneracy effects. We aim to extend the broadly used asymptotic seismic diagnostics beyond ℓ = 1 mixed modes by developing an analogue asymptotic description of ℓ = 2 mixed modes while explicitly accounting for near-degeneracy effects that distort their rotational multiplets. We have derived a new asymptotic formulation of near-degenerate mixed ℓ = 2 modes that describes off-diagonal terms representing the interaction between modes of adjacent radial orders. This formalism, expressed directly in the mixed-mode basis, provides analytical expressions for the near-degeneracy effects. We implemented the formalism within a global Bayesian mode-fitting framework for a direct fit of all ℓ = 0, 1, 2 modes in the power spectrum density. We were able to asymptotically model the asymmetric rotational splitting present in various radial orders of ℓ = 2 modes observed in young red giant stars without the need for any numerical stellar modelling. We applied our formalism to the Kepler target KIC 7341231, and it yielded core and envelope rotation rates consistent with previous numerical modelling while providing improved constraints from the global and model-independent approach. We also characterised the new target, KIC 8179973, measuring its rotation rate and mixed-mode parameters for the first time. As our framework relies on a direct global fit, it allows for much better precision on the asteroseismic parameters and rotation rate estimates than standard methods, yielding better constraints for rotation inversions. We have placed the first observational constraints on the asymptotic ℓ = 2 mixed-mode parameters (ΔΠ2, q2, and εg, 2), thus paving the way towards the use of asymptotic seismology beyond ℓ = 1 mixed modes."}],"article_number":"A321","article_type":"original","date_created":"2026-04-05T22:01:32Z","volume":707,"external_id":{"arxiv":["2511.05314 "]},"tmp":{"short":"CC BY (4.0)","image":"/images/cc_by.png","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)"},"scopus_import":"1","intvolume":"       707","OA_place":"publisher","acknowledgement":"We thank the referee for their careful and constructive report, which has substantially enhanced both the quality and clarity of the manuscript.

In particular, the ability of these envelope gravito-inertial modes to couple with those trapped in the radiative interior could open up new opportunities for probing the deep-layer dynamics of solar-type stars. The possibility for such a coupling to occur is particularly favoured among pre-main-sequence (PMS) solar-type stars. Indeed, due to the contraction of the protostellar object, they are able to reach high rotation frequencies before nuclear reactions are ignited and magnetic braking becomes the driving mechanism for their rotational evolution. In this work, we studied the coupling between the envelope inertial waves and the radiative interior g modes in PMS stars, focussing on the case of prograde dipolar modes. We considered the cases of 0.5 M⊙ and 1 M⊙ PMS models, each with three different scenarios of rotational evolution. We show that for stars that have formed with a sufficient amount of angular momentum, this coupling can occur in frequency ranges that are accessible to space-borne photometry, creating inertial dips in the period spacing pattern. Using an asymptotic analysis, we characterised the shape of these inertial dips to show that they depend on rotation and on the stiffness of the convective-radiative interface."}],"article_number":"L16","scopus_import":"1","tmp":{"short":"CC BY (4.0)","image":"/images/cc_by.png","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)"},"external_id":{"arxiv":["2603.01979"]},"intvolume":"       707","OA_place":"publisher","acknowledgement":"The authors want to thank the anonymous referee for useful comments.

Here, we develop a numerically exact two-body description of Kapitza-Dirac scattering for two contact-interacting atoms in a one-dimensional harmonic trap subjected to a pulsed optical lattice, enabling us to obtain the numerically exact dynamics. We map how interaction strength, lattice depth, lattice wave number, and pulse duration reshape the diffraction pattern, leading to an interaction-dependent population redistribution in real and momentum space. By comparing the exact dynamics to an impulsive sudden-approximation description, we delineate the parameter regimes where it remains accurate and those, notably at strong attraction and small lattice wave number, where it fails.

Popular algorithms are policy iteration and variants of value iteration; in tool competitions, most participants rely on the latter. These algorithms generally need worst-case exponential time. However, the problem can equally be formulated as a linear programme, solvable in polynomial time. In this paper, we give a detailed overview of today’s state-of-the-art algorithms for MDP model checking with a focus on performance and correctness. We highlight their fundamental differences, and describe various optimizations and implementation variants. We experimentally compare floating-point and exact-arithmetic implementations of all algorithms on three benchmark sets using two probabilistic model checkers. Our results show that (optimistic) value iteration is a sensible default, but other algorithms are preferable in specific settings. This paper thereby provides a guide for MDP verification practitioners—tool builders and users alike."}],"related_material":{"record":[{"status":"public","relation":"software","id":"21668"}]},"publication_status":"epub_ahead","status":"public","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","department":[{"_id":"KrCh"}],"doi":"10.1007/s10009-026-00848-y","project":[{"name":"IST-BRIDGE: International postdoctoral program","_id":"fc2ed2f7-9c52-11eb-aca3-c01059dda49c","grant_number":"101034413","call_identifier":"H2020"}],"day":"09","keyword":["Quantitative model checking","Markov decision process","Linear programming","Value iteration","Policy iteration"],"main_file_link":[{"open_access":"1","url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s10009-026-00848-y"}],"oa":1}]
