Proof-of-Stake

description: Blockchain technology, a type of distributed ledger, continues to increase in popularity. As widely distributed systems, these designs describe protocols that are complex and difficult to reason about. The stake distribution in blockchain protocols is described by the resolution of all transactions included in the chain. Proof-of-stake blockchain designs depend on this distribution of stake to elect agents to mine new blocks, form an agreement on the state of the chain, and incentivise honest behaviour. Formal modelling techniques can be used to provide insight into distributed systems and are therefore appropriate for analysis of such blockchain protocols. However, careful considerations must be made to describe models mathematically in a way that the formal modelling techniques can be applied to provide useful insights.This work considers how abstractions of proposed proof-of-stake designs can be captured in a way that is appropriate for the application of formal modelling techniques. Designs are described in terms of three core design elements: election mechanism, consensus rules, and incentive structure. They are modelled as fully connected, synchronised, and static multi-agent systems. This approach appropriately bounds the state space of the models, permitting the application of model checkers. A formal framework is presented that applies probabilistic model checking to these design abstractions, analysing models against several desirable proof-of-stake properties. These properties are resource proportional elections, block finalisations, and rewards. They describe an agent’s ability to perform in these protocols in relation to the stake they own. The consideration of these properties is examined in models that explore the protocols in the context where all parties behave correctly, and they are also considered in the context of adversarial agents performing stake-specific attack strategies; Sybil and pooling attacks, where agents split and pool their stake, respectively, in an attempt to gain an advantage. This framework is then applied to three proof-of-stake design proposals: Peercoin, Ouroboros, and Algorand. Application of our formal framework successfully demonstrates the value of formal modelling in this setting, providing insights that help form discussions on design choices and parameters.

description: Astrophysical emission lines arising from particle decays can offer unique insights into the nature of dark matter (DM). Using dedicated simulations with background and foreground modeling, we comprehensively demonstrate that the recently launched XRISM space telescope with powerful X-ray spectroscopy capabilities is particularly well-suited to probe decaying DM, such as sterile neutrinos and axion-like particles, in the mass range of few to tens of keV. We analyze and map XRISM's DM discovery potential parameter space by considering Milky Way Galactic DM halo, including establishing an optimal line-of-sight search, as well as dwarf galaxies where we identify Segue 1 as a remarkably promising target. We demonstrate that with only 100 ks exposure XRISM/Resolve instrument is capable of probing the underexplored DM parameter window around few keV and testing DM couplings with sensitivity that exceeds by two orders existing Segue 1 limits. Further, we demonstrate that XRISM/Xtend instrument sensitivity enables discovery of the nature of faint astrophysical X-ray sources, especially in Segue 1, which could shed light on star-formation history. We discuss implications for decaying DM searches with improved detector energy resolution in future experiments.

description: Over the past years, an increasing number of studies have provided empirical evidence of the existence of consistent between-individual differences in behaviour, also known as “animal personality”. However, we do not yet understand how these behavioural differences between individuals arise in the first place, and how they are maintained in animal populations. Throughout my thesis, I aimed to improve our understanding of the evolutionary mechanisms that maintain between-individual variation in behaviour. I investigated patterns in the distribution of behaviours across the natural and social environment, and I studied how personality traits relate to behaviours that are shaped by sexual selection. To do so, I used a combination of behavioural tests, molecular parentage analysis and fitness measures in a closed, wild, free-ranging experimental population of the Neotropical poison frog Allobates femoralis. Throughout the chapters that I present here, I show that male and female poison frogs display several personality traits that, combined with behavioural plasticity, helps them cope with variation in their natural and social environment. Further, I show that personality traits are related to several behaviours that are shaped by sexual selection, such as mate choice, reproductive success, and reproductive output. I also showed that personality traits can have different – even opposite – effects on the various components of reproductive success, which can lead to the evolution of different reproductive strategies. By studying variation in behaviour between and within individuals, I increased our understanding of how behavioural variation is maintained and found evidence that limited plasticity can arise because of a link with individual differences in life-history trade-offs.

description: The manipulation of low-energy matter properties such as superconductivity, ferromagnetism and ferroelectricity via cavity quantum electrodynamics engineering has been suggested as a way to enhance these many-body collective phenomena. In this work, we investigate the effective interactions between low-energy matter excitations induced by the off-resonant coupling with cavity electromagnetic modes. We extend previous work by going beyond the dipole approximation accounting for the full polarization and magnetization densities of matter. We further include the often neglected diamagnetic interaction and, for the cavity, we consider general linear absorbing media with possibly non-local and non-reciprocal response. We demonstrate that, even in this general scenario, the effective cavity-induced interactions between the matter degrees of freedom are of electrostatic and magnetostatic nature. This confirms the necessity of a multimode description for cavity engineering of matter systems where the low-energy assumption holds. Our findings provide a theoretical framework for studying the influence of general optical environments on extended low-energy matter excitations.

With 34 items, it covers the four areas (1) social life, (2) physical well-being, (3) cognitive tasks and (4) psychological well-being. Reliability: The internal consistency of the VFQ-ID-R for the entire questionnaire was Alpha = .74 (physical well-being: Alpha = .75; psychological well-being: Alpha = .57; Social life: Alpha = .47; Cognitive functions: Alpha = .41). The median of the retestreliability after four weeks achieved a characteristic value of rtt = .79. Validity: The content validity of the procedure is given due to the construction process. Its four-factorial factor structure was confirmed by a principal component analysis with Varimax rotation, whereby a variance elucidation of 64.33% was achieved. The prevalence rates of 17.7%, which are consistent with the estimates for the normal population aged 65 and over, continue to support the construct validity of the questionnaire.

description: TeamPuls ist ein Messverfahren zur Teamdiagnose. Das Verfahren basiert auf einem Fragebogen mit 56 Items, die sich auf die Leistungsfähigkeit von Teams beziehen und sieben Dimensionen zugeordnet sind. Es kann um jeweils zehn teamtypbezogene Aussagen ergänzt werden, welche die spezifischen Anforderungen der Teamtypen (Führungs-, Produktions-, Vertriebs-, soziale oder technische Dienstleistungsteams) erfassen. Reliabilität: Für die einzelnen Dimensionen wurden interne Konsistenzkoeffizienten von Cronbachs Alpha = .78-.91 ermittelt. Validität: Fallstudien belegen die Kriteriumsvalidität. Korrelationen der sieben TeamPuls-Dimensionen mit Leistungskennzahlen variieren zwischen r = .36 und r = .89 bzw. mit der Anzahl von gemachten Fehlern im Team zwischen r = -.22 und r = -.65. Eine Cross-lagged-panel-Analyse ergab, dass die Teamqualität als Prädiktor hinsichtlich betriebswirtschaftlicher Kennzahlen gelten kann. Die Konstruktvalidität wurde durch explorative und konfirmatorische Faktorenanalysen geprüft, deren Ergebnisse weitestgehend den theoretischen Modellannahmen entsprechen. Die aufgeklärte Varianz der explorativen Faktorenlösung beträgt 50.3%. Normen: Teamspezifische Referenzwerte liegen auf der Basis von Prozenträngen vor (N = 1 522 Teams aus Unternehmen unterschiedlicher Größe und Branchen).
description: TeamPuls is an assessment instrument for team diagnosis. It is based on a questionnaire with 56 items relating to the performance of teams and assigned to seven dimensions. It can be supplemented by ten team type-related statements that capture the specific requirements of each team type (management, production, sales, social or technical service teams). Reliability: Internal consistency coefficients of Cronbach's Alpha = .78-.91 were determined for the individual dimensions. Validity: Case studies prove the criterion validity. Correlations of the seven TeamPuls dimensions with key performance indicators vary between r = .36 and r = .89 and with the number of mistakes made in the team between r = -.22 and r = - .65. A cross-lagged panel analysis showed that team quality can be considered a predictor of key business indicators. The construct validity was checked by explorative and confirmatory factor analyses, the results of which largely correspond to the theoretical model assumptions. The enlightened variance of the exploratory factor solution is 50.3%. Norms: Team-specific reference values are available on the basis of percentile ranks (N = 1 522 teams from companies of different sizes and sectors).
title: Effect of Component Geometry and Build Orientation on the Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Nickel Superalloys Manufactured with Laser Powder Bed Fusion
Creators: name: Megahed, Sandra Mustafa
Publisher: name: UNSPECIFIED
Year: 2024

description: Metal laser powder bed fusion (PBF-LB/M) enables high geometric design freedom. However, the resulting PBF-LB/M microstructure depends on several factors, including process parameters, part geometry, build orientation and post-processing (e.g. heat treatment) etc.
The correlation between the PBF-LB/M microstructure and the influencing factors is not yet sufficiently researched or understood. Thus, there is currently a lack of transferable databases and reproducible test procedures, especially for high temperature materials. 
Since the geometry of components used in applications generally differs from standard witness samples, it must be investigated whether directly printed PBF-LB/M witness samples exhibit comparable material properties to samples extracted from components. Within the scope of this thesis, a generic component was designed with application-relevant geometric features, such as overhangs, changes in cross-section, etc. Witness samples were integrated within the generic component, which combined, form the Sample Extraction Component (SEC). The (witness) samples are manufactured in three build orientations: 0° (perpendicular to the build direction), 45° and 90° (parallel to the build direction). The samples extracted from the SEC are microstructurally and mechanically characterized and compared to the results of witness samples. 
The materials used were IN718 and IN738LC. The Ni superalloy IN738LC is challenging to process using PBF-LB/M due to its crack susceptibility. Although the mechanical properties are promising for high temperature applications, PBF-LB/M IN738LC is not yet commonly used in application. In comparison, PBF-LB/M IN718 is already used in high temperature applications.
Microstructural differences regarding phase formation and distribution were found between witness and extracted samples and are attributed to the difference in solidification conditions during the PBF-LB/M process itself. The grain sizes differ, with the largest grain size found in the witness samples. The samples extracted from the SEC show smaller grains. The difference in grain sizes also causes differences in mechanical properties. The Vickers hardness of extracted samples is higher compared to witness samples. The tensile and yield strengths of the extracted samples are significantly higher than those of witness samples. The IN738LC creep properties differ from those of IN718 due to phase formation and different creep deformation mechanisms taking place

description: Der TEMEO-R erfasst durch die metatelischen Orientierungen die inhaltlichen Handlungsziele und emotionalen Handlungsgründe von Personen und erlaubt es damit, Motivstrukturen differenziert zu erheben. Die 144 Items sind konsequent vor dem theoretischen Hintergrund des zweidimensionalen Modells metatelischer Orientierungen (Mees & Schmitt, 2003, 2005, 2008a, 2008b, 2008c) konstruiert worden, die sich auf 44 Skalen verteilen. Je vier metatelische Orientierungen decken die Motivstärke eines Motivbereichs ab. Reliabilität: Die internen Konsistenzen der Gesamtskalen der Motivbereiche fallen akzeptabel aus, verbesserungswürdige interne Konsistenzen treten jedoch bei den Skalen der einzelnen metatelischen Orientierungen auf. Daher ist ein Einsatz ausschließlich zu Forschungszwecken zu empfehlen. Die Retestreliabilitäten weisen auf eine zeitliche Stabilität der erfassten Motivstrukturen hin. Validität: Sowohl die Bestimmung der Kriteriumsvalidität als auch die Betrachtung der inhaltlichen Validität verweisen auf die Validität der Skalen des TEMEO-R.
description: The TEMEO-R measures the content-related objectives and emotional reasons for action of persons through meta-telic orientations and thus allows to survey motive structures in a differentiated way. The 144 items have been consistently constructed against the theoretical background of the two-dimensional model of metatelic orientations (Mees & Schmitt, 2003, 2005, 2008a, 2008b, 2008c), which are distributed over 44 scales. Four metatellic orientations each cover the motif strength of a motif area. Reliability: The internal consistencies of the overall scales of the motivational areas are acceptable, but internal consistencies that need to be improved occur in the scales of the individual metatelic orientations. Therefore, it is recommended to use them exclusively for research purposes. The retestreliabilities indicate a temporal stability of the recorded motivational structures. Validity: Both the determination of the criterion validity and the consideration of the content validity refer to the validity of the scales of TEMEO-R.

description: Introduction

Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) leads to less morbidity, faster recovery, and, therefore, shorter hospital stays. The expected increment of primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) in the U.S. highlights the need for sufficient pain management. The favorable use of short-lasting spinal anesthesia enables early mobilization but may lead to increased opioid consumption the first 24 h (h) postoperatively.
Methods

In a retrospective study design, we compared conventional THA with postoperative immobilization for two days (non-ERAS) and enhanced recovery THA with early mobilization (ERAS group). Data assessment took place as part of the “Quality Improvement in Postoperative Pain Treatment project” (QUIPS). Initially, 2161 patients were enrolled, resulting in 630 after performing a matched pair analysis for sex, age, ASA score (American-Society-of-Anesthesiology) and preoperative pain score. Patient-reported pain scores, objectified by a numerical rating scale (NRS), opioid consumption and side effects were evaluated 24 h postoperatively.
Results

The ERAS group revealed higher activity-related pain (p = 0.002), accompanied by significantly higher opioid consumption (p < 0.001). Maximum and minimum pain as well as side effects did not show significant differences (p > 0.05).
Conclusion

This study is the first to analyze pain scores, opioid consumption, and side effects in a matched pair analyses at this early stage and supports the implementation of an ERAS concept for THA. Taking into consideration the early postoperative mobilization, we were not able to detect a difference regarding postoperative pain. Although opioid consumption appeared to be higher in ERAS group, occurrence of side effects ranged among comparable percentages.
On the EFT of Dyon-Monopole Catalysis

description: Monopole-fermion (and dyon-fermion) interactions provide a famous example where scattering from a compact object gives a cross section much larger than the object's geometrical size. This underlies the phenomenon of monopole catalysis of baryon-number violation because the reaction rate is much larger in the presence of a monopole than in its absence. It is sometimes claimed to violate the otherwise generic requirement that short distance physics decouples from long-distance observables -- a property that underpins the general utility of effective field theory (EFT) methods. Decoupling in this context is most simply expressed using point-particle effective field theories (PPEFTs) designed to capture systematically how small but massive objects influence their surroundings when probed only on length scales large compared to their size. These have been tested in precision calculations of how nuclear properties affect atomic energy levels for both ordinary and pionic atoms. We adapt the PPEFT formalism to describe low-energy $S$-wave dyon-fermion scattering with a view to understanding whether large catalysis cross sections violate decoupling (and show why they do not). We also explore the related but separate issue of the long-distance complications associated with polarizing the fermion vacuum exterior to a dyon and show in some circumstances how PPEFT methods can simplify calculations of low-energy fermion-dyon scattering in their presence. We propose an effective Hamiltonian governing how dyon excitations respond to fermion scattering in terms of a time-dependent vacuum angle and outline open questions remaining in its microscopic derivation.

Reliabilität: Die interne Konsistenz der Subskalen des Bereichs Absicht liegt zwischen α = .70 und α = .78; die des Bereichs Ausführung zwischen α = .69 und α = .80. Die Split-half-Reliabilität liegt zwischen rtt = .66 und rtt = .76 ( Absicht) und zwischen rtt = .65 und rtt = .81 (Ausführung). Validität: Zur Überprüfung der konvergenten Validität wurden Korrelationen mit anderen Angstmaßen (z.B. AKV und BAI) berechnet.
description: The AAVA enables the assessment of intention and execution in the treatment of clinical anxiety disorders. It is based on the German language version of the University of Rhode Island Change Assessment Scale (Maurischat et al., 2002), which was originally developed for pain patients. With a total of 35 statements, the procedure captures the two domains "intention" (3 subscales (k = 19): Problem Externalization, Initial Problem Awareness, Intention to Act) and "Execution" (3 subscales (k = 16): Learning, Maintaining, Confidence). Reliability: The internal consistency of the subscales of the Intention domain ranges from α = .70 to α = .78; that of the Execution domain ranges from α = .69 to α = .80. The split-half reliability ranges from rtt = .66 to rtt = .76 ( Intention) and from rtt = .65 to rtt = .81 (Execution). Validity: Correlations with other measures of anxiety (e.g., AKV and BAI) were calculated to examine convergent validity.

description: We investigate the nature of the linear-response tensors in planar Hall and planar thermal Hall setups, where we subject a Rarita-Schwinger-Weyl (RSW) semimetal to the combined influence of an electric field $\mathbf E $ (and/or temperature gradient $\nabla_{\mathbf r } T$) and a weak (i.e., nonquantizing) magnetic field $\mathbf B $. For computing the in-plane transport components, we have added an elastic deformation which gives rise to a chirality-dependent effective magnetic field $ \mathbf B^{\text{tot}} = \mathbf B + χ\, \mathbf B_5 $, where $χ$ is the chirality of an RSW node. We have included the effects of orbital magnetic moment (OMM), in conjunction with the Berry curvature (BC), both of which appear as a consequence of nontrivial topology of the bandstructure. Due to the presence of four bands, RSW semimetals provide a richer structure for obtaining the linear-response coefficients, compared to the Weyl semimetals. In particular, we have found that the OMM-contributed terms may oppose or add up to the BC-only parts, depending on which band we are considering. Last, but not the least, we have determined the out-of-plane response comprising the intrinsic anomalous-Hall and the Lorentz-force-contributed currents, whose nature corroborates the findings of some recent experimental results.

description: This research examines the effectiveness of rural road development under the "Sapiri Gamak" Rural Development Program (RDP) in Sri Lanka, focusing on the Kalutara district. Despite substantial government expenditure on rural infrastructure, political interference and lack of technical guidance have undermined the effectiveness of many road construction projects. The study evaluates the pre-construction stage of 56 rural roads, assessing their feasibility and potential contribution to Sri Lanka's socio-economic development. Findings from a survey of professionals involved in the program highlight significant flaws, including inadequate feasibility studies, political influence in road selection, and insufficient technical oversight. Of the projects assessed, only 27% were found to be feasible, while 73% were deemed non-feasible. The research suggests that political decisions, rather than technical expertise, heavily influenced the selection of roads, leading to inefficient allocation of resources. The study concludes that while rural road development is crucial for socio-economic growth, the current approach, characterized by poor planning and political interference, hampers its potential impact on the country's economy, particularly during an ongoing economic crisis.

description: Percolation processes on random networks have been the subject of intense research activity over the last decades: the overall phenomenology of standard percolation on uncorrelated and unclustered topologies is well known. Still some critical properties of the transition, in particular for heterogeneous substrates, have not been fully elucidated and contradictory results appear in the literature. In this paper we present, by means of a generating functions approach, a thorough and complete investigation of percolation critical properties in random networks. We determine all critical exponents, the associated critical amplitude ratios and the form of the cluster size distribution for networks of any level of heterogeneity. We uncover, in particular for highly heterogeneous networks, subtle crossover phenomena, nontrivial scaling forms and violations of hyperscaling. In this way we clarify the origin of inconsistencies in the previous literature.

description: Purpose: 
Data derived by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) feature tracking suggest that not only left ventricular but also left atrial function is impaired in patients with acute myocarditis. Therefore, we investigated the diagnostic value of speckle tracking echocardiography of the left ventricle and left atrium in patients with acute myocarditis and normal left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Methods and results: 
30 patients with acute myocarditis confirmed by CMR according to the Lake Louise criteria and 20 healthy controls were analyzed including global longitudinal strain (GLS) and left atrial (LA) strain parameters. Although preserved LVEF was present in both groups, GLS was significantly lower in patients with acute myocarditis (GLS − 19.1 ± 1.8% vs. GLS − 22.1 ± 1.7%, p < 0.001). Further diastolic dysfunction measured by E/e’ mean was significantly deteriorated in the myocarditis group compared to the control group (E/e’ mean 6.4 ± 1.6 vs. 5.5 ± 1.0, p = 0.038). LA reservoir function (47.6 ± 10.4% vs. 55.5 ± 10.8%, p = 0.013) and LA conduit function (-33.0 ± 9.6% vs. -39.4 ± 9.5%, p = 0.024) were significantly reduced in patients with acute myocarditis compared to healthy controls. Also left atrial stiffness index (0.15 ± 0.05 vs. 0.10 ± 0.03, p = 0.003) as well as left atrial filling index (1.67 ± 0.47 vs. 1.29 ± 0.34, p = 0.004) were deteriorated in patients with myocarditis compared to the control group. Conclusion: 
In patients with acute myocarditis and preserved LVEF not only GLS but also LA reservoir function, LA conduit function and left atrial stiffness index as well as left atrial filling index were impaired compared to healthy controls indicating ventricular diastolic dysfunction and elevated LV filling pressures.

description: Objectives
To investigate the clinical performance of chairside fabricated tooth-supported posterior single crowns from lithium disilicate ceramic.
Materials and methods
Thirty-four crowns (IPS e.max CAD, Ivoclar Vivadent, Schaan, Liechtenstein) were inserted between 2006 and 2007 and again evaluated after 15 years. Survival and success rates were calculated according to Kaplan–Meier, and the quality of the crowns was evaluated by using modified United States Public Health (USPHS) criteria.
Results
Twenty-two crowns were available for recall; six patients were defined as dropouts. The mean observation period was 15.2 years (± 0.2). Six failures occurred (1 technical/5 biological) resulting in a survival rate of 80.1%. The success rate was 64.2%. The roughness of the crowns increased (p = 0.021) and the majority of adhesive gaps were discolored (p = 0.001) in comparison to baseline. The color, tooth, and crown integrity remained stable over the follow-up period (p ≥ 0.317).
Conclusion
The fabrication of tooth-supported lithium disilicate crowns using a chairside approach yielded acceptable long-term survival and success rates. Due to discoloration, the long-term use of dual-cure self-adhesive resin cements might result in unpleasing esthetic results.
Clinical relevance
The performance of posterior lithium disilicate single crowns revealed excellent to good clinical quality and an acceptable number of events after 15 years of clinical service.

Subjects: subject: Agranulocytosis and hemolysis occurred simultaneously as a result of the first and single administration of metamizole. It is unclear which individual factors determine the extent of a potential allergic reaction. Patients receiving metamizole for the first time may benefit from a close follow-up, in particular within the first few weeks.
subject: 610 Medizin

description: Background and objective
Metamizole is a non-opioid ampyrone sulfonate compound with potent analgesic, antipyretic, and spasmolytic effects. Agranulocytosis is a rare life-threatening complication of metamizole.

Case
Here, we present the case of a 62-year-old patient who developed agranulocytosis as well as hemolysis after a single administration of metamizole.

Conclusion
This case illustrates the inherent allergic potential of metamizole and its effects on different hematopoietic cell types.

description: We describe a method for depositing nanoscale liquid Au droplets, initially levitated in an ion trap in high vacuum, onto a remote substrate. A levitated Au nanosphere is melted, expelled from the trap, and maintained in the molten state with a laser directed along the droplet trajectory until it reaches the substrate and rapidly solidifies. Also during transit, the charged droplets are focused to a small region of the substrate with an electrostatic lens. After deposition, the substrate can be removed from the vacuum chamber and imaged and analyzed by techniques such as electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy. Over 90% of launched particles are deposited on the substrate, and when the lens is focused, particles land in a region of diameter 120 $μ$m after traversing a distance of 236 mm. Our technique is of value for analysis of materials prepared or processed while levitated that can be melted. Also, Au droplets may be useful as tracers for future experiments involving smaller projectiles or oriented solids.

description: Experimental searches for axions or dark photons that couple to the standard model photon require photosensors with low noise, broadband sensitivity, and near zero backgrounds. Here, we introduce an experimental architecture, in which a small photon sensor, in our case a Transition Edge Sensor (TES) with a photon energy resolution $σ_γ= 368.4 \pm 0.4$ meV, is colocated on the same substrate as a large high sensitivity athermal phonon sensor (APS) with a phonon energy resolution $σ_\mathrm{phonon} = 701 \pm 2$ meV. We show that single 3.061 eV photons absorbed in the photon-sensing TES deposit $\sim$35\% of their energy in the electronic system of the TES, while $\sim$26\% of the photon energy leaks out of the photon-sensing TES during the downconversion process and becomes absorbed by the APS. Backgrounds, which we associate with the broadly observed ``low energy excess'' (LEE), are observed to be largely coupled to either the TES (``singles'' LEE), or phonon system, (``shared'' LEE). At high energies, these backgrounds can be efficiently discriminated from TES photon absorption events, while at low energies, their misidentification as photon events is well modeled. With significant sensitivity improvements to both the TES and APS, this coincidence technique could be used to suppress backgrounds in bosonic dark matter searches down to energies near the superconducting bandgap of the sensor.

description: Multiple-$Q$ states as represented by a magnetic skyrmion crystal and hedgehog crystal have been extensively studied in recent years owing to their unconventional physical properties. The materials hosting multiple-$Q$ states have been so far observed in a variety of lattice structures and chemical compositions, which indicates rich stabilization mechanisms inducing the multiple-$Q$ states. We review recent developments in the research of the stabilization mechanisms of such multiple-$Q$ states with an emphasis on the microscopic spin interactions in momentum space. We show that an effective momentum-resolved spin model is a canonical model for not only understanding the microscopic origin of various multiple-$Q$ states but also exploring further exotic multiple-$Q$ states with topological properties. We introduce several key ingredients to realize the magnetic skyrmion crystal with the skyrmion numbers of one and two, hedgehog crystal, meron-antimeron crystal, bubble crystal, and other multiple-$Q$ states. We also review that the effective spin model can be used to reproduce the magnetic phase diagram in experiments efficiently.

description: A spin-1/2 Heisenberg model with a chirality-chirality interaction (CCI) on a two-leg ladder provides a minimal setup to explore an interplay between spin and chirality degrees of freedom. This model is potentially relevant for understanding the effects of a four-spin ring exchange and a phonon-mediated interaction on a ladder. By applying the Abelian bosonization and two types of spin-chirality duality, we derive a comprehensive ground-state phase diagram that includes previously unexplored cases of a ferromagnetic rung exchange $J_\perp<0$ or a negative CCI $K_{\rm ch}<0$. The phase diagram consists of the rung singlet (RS) phase, the Haldane phase, and three non-magnetic ordered phases. Moreover, the RS and Haldane phases consist of several regions with different dominant correlations in terms of spin, dimer, or chirality. We perform numerical simulations to confirm the predicted phase structure and critical properties.

description: In recent years, Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) observations, Weak Lensing surveys, and $fσ_8(z)$ measurements from Redshift-Space Distortions (RSD) have revealed a significant ($\sim$3$-$5$σ$) discrepancy in the inferred value of the matter clustering parameter $S_8$. In this work, we investigate the implications of RSD for a cosmological framework postulating an interaction between Dark Energy (DE) and Dark Matter (DM). We explore scenarios where DM can transfer energy-momentum to DE or vice versa. The energy-momentum flow is characterized by the strength and the sign of the coupling parameter $ξ$. Our baseline analysis combines RSD measurements with the latest data from Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) observed by DESI, Type Ia Supernovae from the PantheonPlus sample, and CMB data from Planck. We demonstrate that RSD measurements provide significant additional information imposing new and strong upper bounds on possible interaction in the dark sector. Models with $ξ> 0$ can effectively alleviate the tension in $S_8$, presenting them as compelling alternatives.
