The Stolz–Teichner Conjecture and Supermoonshine
2023-4-25
We check the validity of the "divisibility property," predicted by the Stolz–Teichner conjecture, for several infinite families of theories built from Duncan’s Supermoonshine module. Along the way, we develop the tools necessary to construct the so-called "periodicity class."

Heavy Fermion Meets Antiferromagnetic Sea
2023-4-18
CeMnSi exhibits heavy fermion behaviors in an antiferromagnetically ordered state of Mn.
The space-time inversion symmetry inherent in the ordered state is key for the unique electron state.Magnetic properties in condensed matter

Non-Trivial Superconductivity in the Semimetal EuAuBi
2023-2-22
Magnetic order and superconductivity coexist in a noncentrosymmetric topological semimetal, EuAuBi. EuAuBi exhibits a large, anisotropic critical field with Rashba spin–orbit coupling, which can help develop superconducting spintronic materials.
