Proper Fourier-Mukai partners of abelian varieties and points outside the Fourier-Mukai loci in Matsui spectra

Proper Fourier-Mukai partners of abelian varieties and points outside the Fourier-Mukai loci in Matsui spectra
We prove that any smooth proper Fourier-Mukai partner of an abelian variety is an abelian variety by computing the Matsui spectrum of the derived category. While this result was previously shown by Huybrechts and Nieper-Wisskirchen in the case of smooth projective varieties, we extended it to the proper setting using a completely different method. We also show that, for certain proper schemes, the set of points lying outside the Fourier-Mukai locus in the Matsui spectrum of the derived catego…

Multi-parameter isospectral Fokker-Planck equations
From a given Fokker-Planck equation, a multi-parameter deformed partner Fokker-Planck equation is constructed. This is done by first deleting a set of eigenstates of the original FPE by the multi-step Darboux-Crum transformation, and then reinstating the eigen-energy levels by the reverse Darboux-Crum transformation. Extension to fractional Fokker-Planck equation is briefly discussed. A recent study of the one-parameter isospectral FPE applied to black hole in the thermal potential approach is …

Melting down a tetraquark: $D^{\ast}D^{(\ast)}$ interactions and $T_{cc}(3875)^+$ in a hot environment
We discuss the modification of the properties of the tetraquark-like $T_{cc}(3875)^+$ and its heavy quark spin partner, $T_{cc}(4016)^{*+}$ immersed in a hot bath of pions. We consider these exotic states as purely isoscalar $DD^\ast$ and $D^\ast D^\ast$ $S$-wave bound states, respectively.

In real-world social systems, individual interactions are frequently shaped by reputation, which not only influences partner selection but also affects the nature and benefits of the interactions themselves. We propose a heterogeneous game transition model that incorporates a reputation-based dynamic threshold mechanism to investigate how reputation regulates game evolution. In our framework, individuals determine the type of game they engage in according to their own and their neighbors' reput…

We present a novel method to measure, without reconstructing the signal decay vertex, time-dependent $CP$ violation in $B^0$ mesons produced in energy-asymmetric electron-positron collisions near the $Υ(4S)$ resonance. The method relies on quantum-entangled $B^0\overline{B}^0$ pair-production making the decay time of the partner meson sensitive to $CP$ violation of the signal. We derive analytical expressions for the relevant time-evolution and study, as a use case, an application to $B^0\toπ…
