In a recent paper [Bardella et al., Entropy 26 (6), 495 (2024)] we introduced a simplified Lattice Field Theory (LFT) framework that allows experimental recordings from major Brain-Computer Interfaces…
We constrain the nebular attenuation curve and investigate dust geometry in star-forming galaxies at cosmic noon using photometric medium-band emission line measurements. We measure H-alpha emission l…
We study the Hilbert series for $5d$ Superconformal Field Theories (SCFTs) engineered by Generalized Toric Polygons (GTPs), which extend the geometric realization of these theories from toric Calabi-Y…
We study the equivariant generalization of topological strings on toric manifolds, focusing in particular on defining the contributions of constant maps in the genus expansion of the partition functio…
We discuss a localization formula for certain integrals on odd-dimensional manifolds with boundaries, equipped with a Killing vector, and employ this to localize the regularised on-shell action of a l…
We study the atomic and electronic structures of ferroelectric perovskite oxides, BaTiO$_3$, LiNbO$_3$, and PbTiO$_3$ using ab initio extended Hubbard functionals in which the on-site and inter-site H…
Molecular dynamics (MD)-based path sampling algorithms are a very important class of methods used to study the energetics and kinetics of rare (bio)molecular events. They sample the highly informative…
We establish a precise correspondence between the giant graviton expansion of the superconformal index of field theories in $D\leq 4$, and the master volume formalism of Gauntlett, Martelli and Sparks…
A first-principles computational method with self-consistent on-site and inter-site Hubbard functionals is able to treat local and non-local Coulomb interactions on an equal footing. To apply the meth…
The Milky Way extinction curve in the near-infrared (NIR) follows a power law form, but the value of the slope, $\beta_\text{NIR}$, is debated. Systematic variations in the slope of the Milky Way UV e…
We propose an extension of the formalism developed by Stelle-West and Grignani-Nardelli to the case of FDAs. We first consider the case of FDAs carrying one $p$-form extension and no non-trivial cohom…
We performed a HST/WFC3-IR imaging survey of the young stellar cluster NGC 2024 in three filters probing the 1.4~$\mu$m H$_2$O absorption feature, characteristic of the population of low mass and sub-…
The present Lecture Notes have been prepared to back up a series of a few seminars given by the author at the Albert Einstein Institute in Potsdam. These Notes aim at reviewing a research project cond…
We have applied the method of star counts with Wolf diagrams to determine the interstellar extinction in five Galactic cirri in Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Stripe 82. For this purpose, we have use…
We initiate a systematic study of supersymmetric backgrounds in 4d $\mathcal{N}=2$ Euclidean supergravity in the presence of infinite towers of higher derivative corrections. Adopting a Gibbons-Hawkin…
We analyze the global symmetries and anomalies of 4d $\mathcal{N} = 1$ field theories that arise from a stack of $N$ M5-branes probing a class of flux backgrounds. These backgrounds consist of a resol…
Characterization of phases of soft matter systems is a challenge faced in many physicochemical problems. For polymorphic fluids it is an even greater challenge. Specifically, glass forming fluids, as …
Starting from a peculiar orientifold projection proposed long ago by Angelantonj and Cardella, we elaborate on a novel perturbative scenario that involves only D-branes, together with the two types of…
Over the years, plenty of classical interaction potentials for water have been developed and tested against structural, dynamical and thermodynamic properties. On the other hands, it has been recently…
Exponentially-localized Wannier functions are a basis of the Fermi projection of a Hamiltonian consisting of functions which decay exponentially fast in space. In two and three spatial dimensions, it …
