The Diagrammar of Quantum Magnusian / Guo, Li (Rutgers U., Piscataway (main)) ; Kim, Joon-Hwi (Caltech, Pasadena (main)) ; Kim, Jung-Wook (CERN) ; Kim, Sungsoo (Seoul Natl. U.) ; Lee, Sangmin (Korea Inst. Advanced Study, Seoul) ; Li, Jian-Rong (Vienna U., Dept. Math.)
The logarithm of the time-evolution operator has been termed Magnusian, on account of the fact that its expansion describes the Magnus series. [...]

$B_c \to \eta_c$ form factors at large recoil: SCET analysis and a three-loop consistency check / Bell, Guido (Siegen U.) ; Böer, Philipp (CERN) ; Feldmann, Thorsten (Siegen U.) ; Horstmann, Dennis (Siegen U. ; KIT, Karlsruhe) ; Shtabovenko, Vladyslav (Siegen U.)
The double-logarithmic series of non-relativistic $B_c \to η_c$ form factors at large recoil is governed by a coupled set of integral equations, reflecting an intricate interplay between arbitrarily many soft-quark and soft-gluon exchanges. [...]

A missing link: Brane networks and the Cobordism Conjecture / Dierigl, Markus (CERN) ; Ruiz, Ignacio (CERN)
The absence of global symmetries in a quantum gravity theory often requires the introduction of (new) symmetry-breaking defects, which appear as singular objects in the low-energy description. [...]

Bordisms between 9d type IIB supergravities and commutator widths of duality groups / las Heras, Camilo (Valparaiso U.) ; Ruiz, Ignacio (CERN)
We study the topological properties of bordisms interpolating between different 9d gauged supergravities obtained from compactification of type IIB string theory on $\mathbb{S}^1$ with a non-trivial $\mathsf{SL}(2,\mathbb{Z})$ bundle. [...]
