Homelessness is not a moral failure or an accident of fate, it is the direct result of capitalist property relations. Under a system where land, housing, and production are privately owned, the working class is alienated from its means of existence. People are cast into the streets not because scarcity is real, but because profit determines who deserves shelter.
The solution is not charity or state bureaucracy but the abolition of private property in housing and the collective organiza…

The role of entropy production and thermodynamic uncertainty relations in the thermalization of open quantum systems
The asymmetry between heating and cooling in open quantum systems is a hallmark of nonequilibrium dynamics, yet its thermodynamic origin has remained unclear. Here, we investigate the thermalization of a quantum system weakly coupled to a thermal bath, focusing on the entropy production rate and the quantum thermokinetic uncertainty relation (TKUR). We derive an analytical expression for the entropy production rate, showing that heating begins with a higher entropy production, which drives fast…

Resonant axion and dark photon production in magnetic white dwarfs
Using magnetic white dwarfs as a case study, we show that the emission of sub-MeV bosons from stellar plasmas can be substantially modified in the presence of a magnetic field. In particular, the magnetic field-induced anisotropy and cyclotron resonance both significantly affect the in-medium dispersion relations of the Standard Model photon. As a result, resonant level crossing between photons and other light bosons occurs under environmental conditions that differ from the resonance criteria …

I'm not an expert, but it seems clear to me that the working class requires unions organized around revolutionary class struggle, rather than organizations limited to administering compromises within the capitalist mode of production. Traditional trade unions often confine workers to the narrow framework of collective bargaining, which has the effect of reproducing the very relations of exploitation they claim to challenge. By prioritizing incremental reforms within the existing bourgeoi…

A variational formulation of stochastic thermodynamics. Part I: Finite-dimensional systems
In this paper, we develop a variational foundation for stochastic thermodynamics of finite-dimensional, continuous-time systems. Requiring the second law (non-negative average total entropy production) systematically yields a consistent thermodynamic structure, from which novel generalized fluctuation-dissipation relations emerge naturally, ensuring local detailed balance. This principle extends key results of stochastic thermodynamics including an individual trajectory level description of bot…

Dispersion relations: foundations
We give a pedagogical introduction to the founding ideas of dispersion relations in particle physics. Starting from elementary mechanical systems, we show how the physical principle of causality is closely related to the mathematical property of analyticity, and how both are implemented in quantum mechanical scattering theory. We present a personal selection of elementary applications such as the relation between hadronic production amplitudes or form factors to scattering, and the extraction o…

Both Stellar Mass and Gravitational Potential Shape the Gas-Phase Metallicity
The relation between metallicity and galaxy mass (the so-called mass-metallicity relation) is the strongest and most prominent among scaling relations between chemical enrichment and galactic properties. However, it is unclear whether this relation primarily traces metal retention or the integrated production of metals, as past studies have obtained contrasting results. We investigate this issue through an extensive Random Forest and Partial Correlations analysis of spectral cubes of 4,500 gala…

Experimental Review of the Quarkonium Physics at the LHC
We review recent heavy quarkonium measurements in $pp$, $p\mathrm{Pb}$, and $\mathrm{PbPb}$ collisions at the LHC by the ALICE, ATLAS, CMS, and LHCb collaborations using Run 2 and early Run 3 data. Production studies include present differential cross sections and polarization measurements of charmonium and bottomonium, providing precise tests of QCD theoretical calculations and unveiling symmetry relations among spin and orbital configurations. Notably, a $t\bar{t}$ quasi bound state has been …

Inertia Tames Fluctuations in Autonomous Stationary Heat Engines
Thermodynamic uncertainty relations (TURs) provide fundamental constraints on the interplay between power fluctuations, entropy production, and efficiency in overdamped stationary autonomous heat engines. However, their validity in underdamped regimes remains limited and less explored. Here, we analytically and numerically study a physically realizable autonomous heat engine composed of two underdamped continuous degrees of freedom coupled to a two-level system. We show that this nonlinear setu…
