Good Morning #Canada
You may not know that Canada is a world leader in the export of Mustard seed. In 2021 Canadian exports totaled $95M (USD), leading Russia ($71.5M), Germany ($31.1M), India ($28.2M), and Poland ($15.2M). Approximately 75% is grown in Saskatchewan.

Unveiling Luminous Ly$α$ Emitters at $z\approx6$ through JWST/NIRCam Imaging in the COSMOS Field
We study a sample of 14 spectroscopically confirmed Ly$α$ Emitters (LAEs) in the late era of reionization (at redshift $z\approx6$) based on the JWST/NIRCam imaging dataset. These LAEs with high Ly$α$ luminosity of $L$(Ly$α$) $\sim10^{42.4-43.4}$ erg s$^{-1}$ have been covered by the (ongoing) COSMOS-Web survey (Kartaltepe et al. 2021; Casey et al. 2022) over $0.28$ deg$^2$ in four NIRCam bands (F115W, F150W, F277W, and F444W).

Inverse optically-induced ring currents in ring-shaped molecules
Permanent electronic ring currents can be supported within a manifold of $Γ_E$ degenerate excited electronic states as $E_{\pm} = E_x \pm i E_y$ excitations. This requires at least a 3-fold-symmetry rotational axis or higher, and includes the subclass of ring-shaped molecules. In [Phys. Rev. Res. {\bf 3}, L042003 (2021)] we showed the existence of inverse-current manifolds, where the direction of the electronic ring-current in each degenerate state $E_\pm$ is opposite to the circular polarizat…

Parker Solar Probe (PSP) observed sub-Alfvenic solar wind intervals during encounters 8 - 14, and low-frequency magnetohydrodynamic turbulence in these regions may differ from that in super-Alfvenic wind. We apply a new mode-decomposition analysis (Zank et al 2023) to the sub-Alfvénic flow observed by PSP on 2021 April 28, identifying and characterizing entropy, magnetic islands, forward and backward Alfvén waves, including weakly/non-propagating Alfvén vortices, forward and backward fast an…

Dimension-independent functional inequalities by tensorization and projection arguments
We study stability under tensorization and projection-type operations of gradient-type estimates and other functional inequalities for Markov semigroups on metric spaces. Using transportation-type inequalities obtained by F. Baudoin and N. Eldredge in 2021, we prove that constants in the gradient estimates can be chosen to be independent of the dimension. Our results are applicable to hypoelliptic diffusions on sub-Riemannian manifolds and some hypocoercive diffusions. As a byproduct, we obtain…

A metric counterpart of the Gu-Yung formula
In this note we consider a generalisation to the metric setting of the recent work [Gu-Yung, JFA 281 (2021), 109075]. In particular, we show that under relatively weak conditions on a metric measure space $(X,d,ν)$, it holds true that \[ \bigg[ \frac{u(x)-u(y)}{d(x,y)^{\frac{s}{p}}} \bigg]_{L^p_w(X \times X, ν\otimes ν)} \approx \| u \|_{L^p(X,ν)}, \] where $s$ is a generalised dimension associated to $X$ and $[\cdot]_{L^p_w}$ is the weak Lebesgue norm. We provide some counterexam…

The MONUMENT experiment measures ordinary muon capture (OMC) on isotopes relevant for neutrinoless double-beta (0$νββ$) decay and nuclear astrophysics. OMC is a particularly attractive tool for improving the theoretical description of 0$νββ$ decay. It involves similar momentum transfers and allows testing the virtual transitions involved in 0$νββ$ decay against experimental data.
