Electronic nematic normal and superconducting state in electron-doped copper-oxide superconductors
The similarities and differences between hole- and electron-doped cuprates are central to studies of high-temperature superconductivity. While electronic nematicity is found to be pervasive in hole-doped cuprates, iron-based superconductors, and other unconventional superconductors, evidence for electronic nematicity in electron-doped cuprates remains elusive. Here, we discover that the normal state of electron-doped Sr0.9La0.1CuO2 (SLCO) is nematic by the angle-resolved resistivity (ARR) metho…

Coupling Anisotropic Curvature and Nematic Order: Mechanisms of Membrane Shape Remodeling
This study theoretically investigates how anisotropic curved membrane components (CMCs) control vesicle morphology through curvature sensing, nematic alignment, topological defects, and volume constraints. By comparing arc-shaped and saddle-shaped CMCs, we identify a rich spectrum of steady-state phases. For fully CMC-covered vesicles, arc-shaped components drive a pearling-to-cylinder transition as nematic interactions strengthen, while on partially CMC-covered vesicles, the saddle-shaped CMCs…

Symplectic semi-characteristics
We study the symplectic semi-characteristic of a 4n-dimensional closed symplectic manifold. First, we define the symplectic semi-characteristic using the mapping cone complex model of the primitive cohomology. Second, using a vector field with nondegenerate zero points, we prove a counting formula for the symplectic semi-characteristic. As corollaries, we obtain an Atiyah type vanishing property and the fact that the symplectic semi-characteristic is independent of the choices of symplectic for…

Nondistortionary belief elicitation
A researcher wants to ask a decision-maker about a belief related to a choice the decision-maker made; examples include eliciting confidence or cognitive uncertainty. When can the researcher provide incentives for the decision-maker to report her belief truthfully without distorting her choice? We identify necessary and sufficient conditions for nondistortionary elicitation and fully characterize all incentivizable questions in three canonical classes of problems. For these problems, we show ho…

For extremely generous definitions of “pretty soon.”
Evolution is bound by the mutation rate and the length of generational cycles. Humans are essentially unchanged genetically by the past hundred centuries, despite substantial climate change and social evolution from omnivore hunter-gatherers thru nomadic herders and farmers to city-dwellers.

Surface Nematic Quasi-Uniformity
Line fields on surfaces are a means to describe the nematic order that may pattern them. The least distorted nematic fields are called uniform, but they can only exist on surfaces with negative constant Gaussian curvature. To identify the least distorted nematic fields on a generic surface, we relax the notion of uniformity into that of quasi-uniformity and prove that all such fields are parallel transported (in Levi-Civita's sense) by the geodesics of the surface. Both global and local constru…

Prediction and control of geometry-induced nematic order in growing multicellular systems
In densely-packed two-dimensional systems of growing cells, such as rod-shaped bacteria, a number of experimental and numerical studies report distinct patterns of nematic orientational order in the presence of confinement. So far, these effects have been explained using variations of growing active nematic continuum theories, which incorporate feedback between growth-induced active stresses, the resulting material flow and nematic orientation, and were adapted to the specific geometry under in…
