A sufficient condition for planar graphs with maximum degree eight to be totally 9-colorable
A total coloring of a graph $G$ is a coloring of the vertices and edges such that two adjacent or incident elements receive different colors. The minimum number of colors required for a total coloring of a graph $G$ is called the total chromatic number, denoted by $χ''(G)$. Let $G$ be a planar graph of maximum degree eight. It is known that $9\leq χ''(G) \leq 10$. We here prove that $χ''(G)=9$ when the graph does not contain any subgraph isomorphic to a $4$-fan.

Beamforming Design for Pinching Antenna Systems with Multiple Receive Antennas
Next-generation networks require intelligent and robust channel conditions to support ultra-high data rates, seamless connectivity, and large-scale device deployments in dynamic environments. While flexible antenna technologies such as fluid and movable antennas offer some degree of adaptability, their limited reconfiguration range and structural rigidity reduce their effectiveness in restoring line-of-sight (LoS) links. As a complementary solution, pinching antenna systems (PASs) enable fine-g…

Entanglement distribution via satellite: an evaluation of competing protocols assuming realistic free-space optical channels
A key technical requirement of any future quantum network is the ability to distribute quantum-entangled resources between two spatially separated points at a high rate and high fidelity. Entanglement distribution protocols based on satellite platforms, which transmit and receive quantum resources directly via free-space optical propagation, are therefore excellent candidates for quantum networking, since the geometry and loss characteristics of satellite networks feasibly allow for up to conti…

When compact objects -- neutron stars and black holes -- are formed in a supernova explosion, they may receive a high velocity at formation, which may reach or even exceed $\approx{1000}$~km~s$^{-1}$ for neutron stars and hundreds of km~s$^{-1}$ for black holes.
