This work presents a two dimensional model of self-propulsion in active droplets, such as cells, involving two scalar fields, representing the cytoplasm and a contractile cortex. An active stress couples the two scalar fields. The self-propulsion results from the activity when rotational symmetry is spontaneously broken.

The authors establish a microscopic understanding of the anomalous Hall effect of electrons in several Kagome magnets. The spin-orbit coupling together with the inversion-symmetry breaking in these materials can effectively be described by a virtual texture that is canted out of the Kagome plane, even though the actual magnetic texture is coplanar. The uncompensated virtual texture has a finite scalar spin chirality effectively giving rise to a topologically induced Hall effect.

This paper explores the influence of low-levels of chemical substitution on the magnetism in GaVSSe. In the = 0 and 0.1 materials the authors use muon spin spectroscopy to reveal a gradual crossover of the ground state between ferromagnetic and cycloidal order, with chemical substitution leading to growth of localized regions of increased spin density. The authors also show, through dynamics detectable with muons, that chemical substitution leads to skyrmionic precursors over a wide range of temperatures.

This work explores the dynamics of an ensemble of interacting random walkers, hopping among nodes of a given network. The nodes are endowed with finite carrying capacity. A nonlinear function of the available space at the destination node, controls the tendency of the walkers to avoid nodes occupied by other walkers. Using the entropy rate the paper shows that an optimal crowding amount exists that maximizes the ability of the walkers to perform the network exploration.

This work provides a systematic classification and energetic analysis of superconducting instabilities in different moiré superlattices of graphene. The authors show that these systems, even in the absence of spin-orbit coupling, can naturally exhibit spin-singlet and triplet admixture. The paper studies which of the possible pairing states can be realized in the weak coupling limit, and investigates the consequences of additional fluctuation corrections of nearby correlated insulators.

This paper explores the impact of self-similarity on the quantum electronic transport in graphene-based systems. When the Fermi level coincides with the flat-band energy, an unusual form of electronic transport is found. Despite a vanishing velocity and a gapped spectrum, a supermetallic phase is revealed. The conductivity is purely of inter-band nature and robust against the inelastic scattering amplitude.

The spin-orbit coupling together with the inversion-symmetry breaking in these materials can effectively be described by a virtual texture that is canted out of the Kagome plane, even though the actual magnetic texture is coplanar. The uncompensated virtual texture has a finite scalar spin chirality effectively giving rise to a topologically induced Hall effect.

This paper shows that multiply quantized vortices in two-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensates display instabilities analogous to the ergoregion instabilities of rotating relativistic spacetimes. This implies that multiply quantized vortices are dynamically unstable in an otherwise uniform condensate.

This paper considers classical music pieces as stochastic trajectories and explores the extent to which these display statistical time irreversibility, i.e. whether a preferential time arrow emerges with an associated entropy production. Since 1/f noise —a paradigm to explain the complexity of music— is by construction time reversible, finding clear signatures of time irreversibility in music suggests that linear temporal correlations are not sufficient to explain the statistical patterns underlying musical compositions.

This work studies the development of a chiral supercurrent flow between two superconductors coupled by means of quantum Hall edge states. The emergence of Majorana fermions when the superconductors are driven across a topological phase transition causes significant changes in the behavior of the critical current as a function of the flux variation in the Hall bar. The resulting Fraunhofer patterns unveil not only the presence but also the spin degree of freedom of these exotic quasiparticles

The paper introduces a synchronization model of two classical discrete d-level systems and then considers the outcome if superposition of states is allowed. The resulting quantum model allows to observe phase locking of two-qudit dynamics (d>1) and exhibits various asymptotic behaviors that depend on the initial state of the system.
