Gravitational Wave Propagation in a Geometric Condensate in Starobinsky Cosmology
In this paper we propose a new paradigm for cosmology: a time dependent scalar condensate background originated from the quadratic $(R + αR^2)$ Starobinski model, where $R$ is the Ricci scalar and $α$ the coupling constant. In weak gravity limit the system decouples into a conventional graviton and a higher derivative scalar. It was shown earlier through works from our group, \cite{ssg,sg,us}, that the latter can sustain an oscillatory lowest energy configuration or a {\it{Geometric Condensat…

Symmetry Classification for Alternating Excitons in Two-Dimensional Altermagnets
Excitons, bound electron-holes states, often dominate the optical response of two-dimensional (2D) materials and reflect their inherent properties, including spin-orbit coupling, magnetic ordering, or band topology. By focusing on a growing class of collinear antiferromagnets with a nonrelativistic spin splitting, referred to also as altermagnets (AM), we propose a theoretical framework based on the spin space group (SSG) to elucidate their resulting excitons. Our approach is illustrated on 2D …
