Coriolis force acting on near-surface horizontal flows during simulations of flux emergence produces a tilt angle consistent with Joy's law on the Sun
Joy's law describes the tilt of bipolar active regions on the Sun away from an east-west orientation, where the flux of the polarity concentrated at the prograde side tends to be closer to the equator than the polarity on the retrograde side. Joy's law is attributed to the Coriolis force because of the observed increase in tilt angle at higher latitudes. This tilt plays a crucial role in some solar dynamo models. Our goal is to model the effects of the Coriolis force on a flux tube as it rises …

Kaluza-Klein inspired a model of the inflation with the inversed power law potential in Bianchi type-I universe
This work considers the dynamics of the gauge vector and inflaton (dilaton) fields inspired by Kaluza-Klein theory in an inflationary universe with Bianchi type-I spacetime. The inverse power-law potential of the inflaton field is used to study dynamical system analysis. As a result, all fixed points in the autonomous system are non-hyperbolic fixed points, and one cannot determine their stability. Therefore, a center manifold theory is required to analyze the stability of the dynamical system …

By generalizing Stark localization to power-law interaction profiles, we identify robust period-doubled dynamics across a wide range of interaction exponents, stabilized by the interplay between coherent driving and spatially varying coupling. Within the DTC phase, the energy stored in the system, interpreted as a quantum battery, increases superlinearly…

Tail Flexibility in the Degrees of Preferential Attachment Networks
Devising the underlying generating mechanism of a real-life network is difficult as, more often than not, only its snapshots are available, but not its full evolution. One candidate for the generating mechanism is preferential attachment which, in its simplest form, results in a degree distribution that follows the power law. Consequently, the growth of real-life networks that roughly display such power-law behaviour is commonly modelled by preferential attachment. However, the validity of the …

Aggregating feedback into a single reward model risks disproportionately suppressing minority preferences. To address this, we present a novel reward modeling approach for …

The Nonlinear Tails in Black Hole Ringdown: the Scattering Perspective
Black holes regain their static configuration by emitting ringdown gravitational waves, whose amplitude decays in time following a power law at fixed spatial positions. We show that the nonlinear decay power law may be obtained by simple scattering calculations using the in-in formalism and argue that the nonperturbative law should be $t^{-2\ell-1}$, where $\ell$ is the multipole of the propagating spherical gravitational wave.

Second-order legal relations generally concern the intentional, volitional acts of legal actors exercising legal powers to change first-order laws or legal relations.
