Pier Francesco Foschi (1502 – 1567) was a Florentine through and through. He spent his career in his hometown, and many of his works can be found in churches around the city. In November 2023, the Galleria dell’Accademia in Florence presented the first exhibition devoted to Foschi in Europe. But that show grew out of one at our museum, in Athens, Georgia. How? And why? Read the full story here.

On the rank of the double cohomology of moment-angle complexes
In \cite{LPSS-2023}, the authors construct a cochain complex $C\!H^*(\ZZ_{\K})$ on the cohomology of a moment-angle complex $\ZZ_{\K}$ and call the resulting cohomology the double cohomology, $H\!H^*(\ZZ_{\K})$. In this paper, we study the change of rank in double cohomology after gluing an $n$-simplex to a simplicial complex $\K$ in certain conditions. As an application, we give a positive answer to an open problem in \cite{LPSS-2023}: For any even integer $r$, there always exi…

Cosmic-ray confinement in radio bubbles by micromirrors
Radio bubbles, ubiquitous features of the intracluster medium around active galactic nuclei, are known to rise buoyantly for multiple scale heights through the intracluster medium (ICM). It is an open question how the bubbles can retain their high-energy cosmic-ray content over such distances. We propose that the enhanced scattering of cosmic rays due to micromirrors generated in the ICM, as proposed recently by Reichherzer et al. (2023), is a viable mechanism for confining the cosmic rays with…
