Exponents of 2-multiarrangements of three lines over fields of positive characteristic
Freeness of multiarrangements is extremely important in the study of freeness of hyperplane arrangements. In particular, the exponents of 2-multiarrangement play an important role in freeness of 3-arrangement. However, it is not easy to compute exponents in general. Wakamiko (2007) determined bases and the exponents for multiarrangements of three lines over a field of characteristic zero. In this paper, we study the exponents of multiarrangements of three lines for the case of positive characte…

Gamma-ray lines, electron-positron annihilation, and possible radio emission in X-ray pulsars
Accretion onto neutron stars (NSs) in X-ray pulsars (XRPs) results in intense X-ray emission, and under specific conditions, high-energy nuclear interactions that produce gamma-ray photons at discrete energies. These interactions are enabled by the high free-fall velocities of accreting nuclei near the NS surface and give rise to characteristic gamma-ray lines, notably at 2.2 MeV, 5.5 MeV, and 67.5 MeV. We investigate the production mechanisms of these lines and estimate the resulting gamma-ray…

Kurzweil--Stieltjes integration on compact lines
We develop a version of the Kurzweil--Stieltjes integral on compact lines and establish its fundamental properties. For sufficiently regular integrators, we obtain convergence theorems and show that the presented integration process generalizes Lebesgue integration with respect to positive Radon measures. Additionally, we introduce a notion of derivation on compact lines which, when paired with the proposed integral, yields a formulation of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus in this context.

Many real-world networks, ranging from subway systems to polymer structures and fungal mycelia, do not form by the incremental addition of individual nodes but instead grow through the successive extension and intersection of lines or filaments. Yet most existing models for spatial network formation focus on node-based growth, leaving a significant gap in our understanding of systems built from spatially extended components. Here we introduce a minimal model for spatial networks, rooted in the …

Floquet-Engineering Weyl Points and Linked Fermi Arcs from Straight Nodal Lines
Floquet engineering provides a powerful and flexible method for modifying the band structures of quantum materials. While circularly polarized light has been shown to convert curved nodal lines in three-dimensional semimetals into Weyl points, such a transformation is forbidden for an isolated straight nodal line. In this work, we uncover a dramatic shift in this paradigm when multiple straight nodal lines intersect. We observe that circularly polarized light not only gaps them into Weyl points…

Recent research advocates for installing battery energy storage systems as well as undergrounding risky overhead lines to reduce the load shedding during such de-energizations. Since wildfire ignition risk can exhibit substantial geographic and temporal variations,…

No Infinite $(p,q)$-Theorem for Piercing Compact Convex Sets with Lines in $\mathbb{R}^3$
An infinite $(p,q)$-theorem, or an $(\aleph_0,q)$-theorem, involving two families $\mathcal{F}$ and $\mathcal{G}$ of sets, states that if in every infinite subset of $\mathcal{F}$, there are $q$ sets that are intersected by some set in $\mathcal{G}$, then there is a finite set $S_{\mathcal{F}}\subseteq\mathcal{G}$ such that for every $C\in\mathcal{F}$, there is a $B\in S_{\mathcal{F}}$ with $C\cap B\neq\emptyset$. We provide an example demonstrating that there is no $(\aleph_0,q)$-theorem for p…

Galois Groups of Symmetric Cubic Surfaces
The Galois group of a family of cubic surfaces is the monodromy group of the 27 lines of its generic fibre. We describe a method to compute this group for linear systems of cubic surfaces using certified numerical computations. Applying this to all families which are invariant under the action of a subgroup of $S_5$, we find that the Galois group is often much smaller than the Weyl group $W(E_6)$. As a byproduct, we compute the discriminants of these~families. Our method allows to compute the m…

Integrability and lattice discretizations of all Topological Defect Lines in minimal CFTs
We discuss in this paper the lattice discretizations of all topological defect lines (TDLs) for diagonal, minimal CFTs, using integrable restricted solid-on-solid (RSOS) models. For these CFTs, the TDLs can be labeled by the Kac labels. In the case of $(1,s)$ TDLs, lines that are exactly topological on the lattice can be obtained using the centralizer of the underlying Temperley-Lieb algebra, all the other lines become topological in the continuum limit only.

On large configurations of lines on quartic surfaces
We estimate the number of lines on a non-K3 quartic surface. Such a surface with only isolated double point(s) contains at most twenty lines; this bound is attained by a unique configuration of lines and by a surface with a certain limited set of singularities. We have similar itemized bounds for other types of non-simple singularities, which culminate in at most 31 lines on a non-K3 quartic not ruled by lines; this bound is only attained on the quartic monoids described by K.~Rohn.

Monte-Carlo radiation hydrodynamic simulations of line-driven disc winds: relaxing the isothermal approximation
Disc winds play a crucial role in many accreting astrophysical systems across all scales. In accreting white dwarfs (AWDs) and active galactic nuclei (AGN), radiation pressure on spectral lines is a promising wind-driving mechanism. However, the efficiency of line driving is extremely sensitive to the ionization state of the flow, making it difficult to construct a reliable physical picture of these winds. Recently, we presented the first radiation-hydrodynamic (RHD) simulations for AWDs that i…

Consistent gas-phase C/O abundances from UV and optical emission lines: a robust scale for chemical evolution across cosmic time
The carbon to oxygen (C/O) abundance ratio is a valuable tracer of star formation history, as C and O enrichment occurs on different timescales. However, measurements based on ultraviolet (UV) collisionally excited lines and those based on optical recombination lines may be subject to biases from the abundance discrepancy factor (ADF), which is well established for oxygen but uncertain for carbon. We present precise UV-based measurements of gas-phase C$^{2+}$/O$^{2+}$ ionic abundance in four H …

An optical to infrared study of type II SN2024ggi at nebular times
We present 0.3-21mic observations at ~275d and ~400d for Type II supernova (SN) 2024ggi, combining ground-based optical and near-infrared data from the Keck I/II telescopes and space-based infrared data from the James Webb Space Telescope. Although the optical regions dominate the observed flux, SN2024ggi is bright at infrared wavelengths (65%/35% falls each side of 1mic). SN2024ggi exhibits a plethora of emission lines from H, He, intermediate-mass elements (O, Na, Mg, S, Ar, Ca), and iron-gro…

Measuring the initial mass of 44Ti in SN 1987A through the 44Sc emission line
Context. Deriving the mass and large-scale asymmetries of radioactive isotopes offers valuable insights into the complex phases of a supernova explosion. Important examples are $^{56}$Ni, with its decay products $^{56}$Co and $^{56}$Fe, and $^{44}$Ti, which are studied through their X-rays emission lines and provide a powerful diagnostic tool to probe the explosive nucleosynthesis processes in the inner layers of the exploding star. Aims. In this framework, SN 1987A provides a privileged labora…

Circumbinary disc interactions and stochastic dust obscuration in the post-asymptotic-giant-branch binary HD 213985
HD 213985 is an eccentric binary system with a post-AGB primary and a jet-launching secondary star. We confirm that the system photometric variability is likely due to obscuration by the inner edge of a circumbinary disc, similar to RVb-type RV Tau stars. The system has shown an increase in the orbital variability amplitude in optical photometric bands, along with irregular changes in its shape that often started to appear skewed. Variability in the Na D lines suggests that this behaviour may b…

Undersea cable cuts in the Red Sea disrupted internet access in parts of Asia and the Middle East, experts said Sunday,
though it wasn’t immediately clear what caused the incident.
There has been concern about the cables being targeted in a Red Sea campaign by Yemen’s Houthi rebels,
which the rebels describe as an effort to pressure Israel to end its war on Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
But the Houthis have denied attacking the lines in the past.

Red Sea cables are cut, disrupting internet in Asia and the Mideast
Undersea cable cuts in the Red Sea have disrupted internet access in parts of Asia and the Middle East. Experts say the disruption began early Sunday, but the cause remains unclear. There are concerns about possible targeting by Yemen's Houthi rebels, though they have denied cutting cables in the past. Microsoft announced that the Middle East may face increased latency. NetBlocks reported degraded connectivity in countries like India and Pakistan. The affected cables are managed by Tata Communi…
