This week I watched more than 4 movies. Click over to my letterboxd to view them all: https://letterboxd.com/tgpo/
The Special: Worst acting I've ever seen. Neat idea, but the movie sucks (no pun intended). 1.5⭐
Buddy Games: Unwatchable 1⭐
The Invisible Man: First 75% is well done…

The Gödel Universe as a Lie group with left-invariant Lorentz metric and\newline the Iwasawa decomposition
We discuss models of the Gödel Universe as Lie groups with left-invariant Lorentz metric for two simply connected four-dimensional Lie groups, the Iwasawa decomposition for semisimple Lie groups, and left-invariant Lorentz metric on $SL(2,\mathbb{R})$, following K.-H.~Neeb. Also we show that the isometry between two non-isomorphic sub-Riemannian Lie group, constructed by A.~Agrachev and D.~Barilari, is induced by some Iwasawa decomposition of $SL(2,\mathbb{R})$.

Theory of Correlated Insulator(s) and Superconductor at $ν=1$ in Twisted WSe$_2$
The observation of a superconducting phase, an intertwined insulating phase, and a continuous transition between the two at a commensurate filling of $ν=1$ in bilayers of twisted WSe$_2$ (tWSe$_2$) at $θ=3.65^0$ raises a number of intriguing questions about the origin of this phenomenology. Starting with a simplified three-orbital model of tWSe$_2$, including an on-site and nearest-neighbor density-density interactions, as well as a chiral-exchange interaction, we discuss the possibility of a…

The next one up was the marching song “Be Ready for Labor and Defense of the USSR.” The accordion set the tone, then seemed to hesitate, falling into the rhythm of the march, and suddenly died down enough to give an unexpected lead to the soloist, a wee rascal so small he must have skipped kindergarten, who opened his mouth and eagerly started singing about the captains leading their ships away from the disappearing shores.
