Betti multiplets, flows across dimensions and c-extremization

Antonio Amariti, Chiara Toldo

We consider 4d N=1 SCFTs, topologically twisted on compact constant curvature Riemann surfaces, giving rise to 2d N=(0,2) SCFTs. The exact R-current of these 2d SCFT extremizes the…

Good Strategies for the Iterated Prisoner's Dilemma : Smale vs. Markov

Ethan Akin

In 1980 Steven Smale introduced a class of strategies for the Iterated Prisoner's Dilemma which used as data the running average of the previous payoff pairs. This approach is quit…

River-bed armoring as a granular segregation phenomenon

Behrooz Ferdowsi, Carlos P. Ortiz, Morgane Houssais +1

Gravel-river beds typically have an "armored" layer of coarse grains on the surface, which acts to protect finer particles underneath from erosion. River bed-load transport is a ki…
