I totally should have got a heat pump when we replaced our furnace a few years ago but a) the folks we bought from (who sell heat pumps) said not to, b) my electrician said not to, and c) the rebate/inspection process was extremely confusing to navigate.

Flavor Symmetries and Winding Modes
Modular flavor symmetries have been proposed as a new way to address the flavor problem. It is known that they can emerge from string compactifications. We discuss this connection in detail, and show how the congruence subgroups of SL(2,Z), which underlie many modular flavor symmetries, emerge from stringy duality symmetries by orbifolding. This requires an analysis of massive states, which reveals a picture that is more intricate than the well-known situation on the torus. It involves towers o…

Symmetries of weighted networks: weight approximation method and its application to food webs
Knowing which parts of a complex system have identical roles simplifies computations and reveals patterns in its network structure. Group theory has been applied to study symmetries in unweighted networks. However, in real-world weighted networks, edge weights are rarely equal, making exact symmetry uncommon. To study symmetries in weighted networks, we aggregate edge weights into a small number of discrete categories. The symmetries of these aggregated networks identify vertices with similar r…

No dynamical CPT symmetry restoration in quantum gravity
CPT symmetry is at the heart of the Standard Model of particle physics and experimentally very well tested, but expected to be broken in some approaches to quantum gravity. It thus becomes pertinent to explore which of the two alternatives is realized: (i) CPT symmetry is emergent, so that it is restored in the low-energy theory, even if it is broken beyond the Planck scale, (ii) CPT symmetry cannot be emergent and must be fundamental, so that any approach to quantum gravity, in which CPT is br…
