Preconditioning of the interplanetary medium due to isolated ICMEs
We perform a systematic study of the preconditioning of the interplanetary (IP) medium due to isolated interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs). Preconditioning is highly relevant when ICMEs, ejected in close succession and direction, modify the IP medium to allow subsequent ICMEs to propagate more freely, decelerate less, and retain higher kinetic energy at larger distances. We base our study on a sample of carefully selected events. The IP medium is analyzed during time intervals of 48 h…

The thing that scares ME isn't AI per se. It's all the idiots who think AI is a great way to replace workers who actually know what they're doing. These morons are much more likely to bring in the apocalypse than AI itself.

Emergent Ising symmetry and supercritical fluids
The symmetry of Ising model questions any single crossover scenario for supercritical fluids. In this work, we firstly study a pair of thermodynamic crossovers $L^\pm$ analytically for the Van der Waals class fluids. We uncover an emergent $Z_2$ symmetry in addition to the universal scalings in the scaling regime for this class fluids. By using the self-reciprocal property between coexistenct phases, we further establish that under suitable conditions, the Ising symmetry generally emerges in th…

Meson mass spectrum in Ising Field Theory
We study the two-particle approximation of the Ising Field Theory (IFT), formulated in terms of the Bethe-Salpeter (BS) equation. Derived by Fonseca and Zamolodchikov as a systematic realization of the McCoy-Wu approach, this equation captures confinement by modeling ``mesons'' as bound states of two Majorana fermions (``quarks''), in a way analogous to the integral equation in the 't Hooft model. Despite its approximate nature, the BS equation provides remarkably accurate predictions for the m…

Cluster Expansion and Decay of Correlations for Multidimensional Long-Range Ising Models
We develop the cluster expansion for the multidimensional multiscaled contours defined by three of us. These contours are suitable for long-range Ising models with interaction $J_{xy}=J(|x-y|)= J/|x-y|^α$, $J>0$, and $α>d$. As an application of the convergence of the cluster expansion at low temperatures, we study the decay of the truncated two-point correlation functions, showing that the decay is algebraic with coefficient $α$.

Generalized Spectral Statistics in the Kicked Ising model
The kicked Ising model has been studied extensively as a model of quantum chaos. Bertini, Kos, and Prosen studied the system in the thermodynamic limit, finding an analytic expression for the spectral form factor, $K(t)$, at the self-dual point with periodic boundary conditions. The spectral form factor is the 2nd moment of the trace of the time evolution operator, and we study the higher moments of this random variable in the kicked Ising model. A previous study of these higher moments by Flac…
