Neglected solutions in quadratic gravity
We report on several previously overlooked families of static spherically symmetric solutions in quadratic gravity. Our main result concerns the existence of solutions whose leading exponents depend on the ratio ${ω=α/(3β)}$ of the four-derivative couplings. We demonstrate that the space of models with ${ω>1}$ contains a dense set that admits non-Frobenius solutions ${(s_*, 2 - 3 s_*)_0}$ (in standard Schwarzschild coordinates), with certain rational numbers $s_*(ω)$. These solutions corre…

Fermi Geometry of the Higgs Sector
We develop the field space geometry of scalar-fermion effective field theories as a vector bundle supermanifold. We further establish a Fermi normal coordinate system on the bundle that clarifies the geometric content in scattering amplitudes, particularly the imprints of field space non-analyticities. Specializing to the Standard Model Higgs sector, we examine the geometric consequences of custodial symmetry violation, including implications for the physical Higgs field as a distinguished scal…

Biexciton-polariton coupling mediated by dark states
Multi-exciton correlations shape the photo-induced response of nanostructured materials, particularly when interactions are enhanced by light confinement. Here multidimensional coherent spectroscopy is used to quantify biexciton and exciton-polariton dynamics in a semiconductor microcavity. One- and two-quantum spectra, which are dominated by polariton-related contributions, also include a polarization-dependent biexciton feature whose magnitude and spectral coordinates depend on the detuning b…

BLAKE: I never doubted it for a moment. [To Avon] Is something wrong?
AVON: It just occurred to me, that as the description of a highly sophisticated technological achievement, "Avon's gadget works," seems to lack a certain style.

The possibility to experimentally determine the structure of a fermionic vacuum in quantum electrodynamics
In the standard quantum electrodynamics (QED), the fermionic vacuum is a continuum of randomly created and annihilated virtual electron-positron pairs. In this case, in the strong electromagnetic fields, vacuum creation of real electron-positron pairs is possible. In particular, in the standard QED in a strong uniform electrical field, the Schwinger effect is implemented. Currently, there exist the QED versions with empty fermionic vacuum without fluctuations of creation and annihilation of vir…

Classification of standard Manin triples in dimension 4+4
Four- and six-dimensional Drinfeld doubles were classified in the past in terms of Manin triples. We provide an important step towards classification of eight-dimensional Drinfeld doubles by presenting an extensive list of Manin triples formed by pairs of four-dimensional Lie algebras. Due to the high complexity of the classification we focus on Manin triples formed by algebras in a certain standard form. The list contains 188 non-isomorphic Manin triples plus their duals. To apply the result…
