Cover Story: The Principle of Maximum Conformality (PMC) is a systematic way to eliminate the renormalization scheme-and-scale ambiguities, which satisfies the Renormalization Group Invariance and all of the self-consistency conditions derived from the renormalization group. For the calculation of event shapes in e+e annihilation, since the renormalization scale is simply set as \({ \mu_{r} }\) = \({ \sqrt{s} }\) when using the conventional scale setting, only one value of \({ \alpha_{s} }\) at scale \({ \sqrt{s} }\) can be extracted. After applying the PMC method, the resulting PMC scales are not a single value, but they vary with the value of event shapes. The PMC method provides a remarkable way to verify the running of \({ \alpha_{s} }\)(Q2) from event shapes in e+e annihilation measured at a single energy \({ \sqrt{s} }\). View this paper

Measurement-Induced Nonlocality for Observers Near a Black Hole

  • Adam Z. Kaczmarek,
  • Dominik Szczȩśniak and
  • Sabre Kais

21 April 2023

We present a systematic and complementary study of quantum correlations near a black hole by considering measurement-induced nonlocality (MIN). The quantum measure of interest is discussed for the fermionic, bosonic and mixed fermion–boson mode...

  • Christian Pfeifer

20 April 2023

For the general class of pseudo-Finsler spaces with (α,β)-metrics, we establish necessary and sufficient conditions such that these admit a Finsler spacetime structure. This means that the fundamental tensor has a Lorentzian signature on a...

  • J. A. Rueda and
  • R. Ruffini

20 April 2023

The nature of dark matter (DM) is one of the most relevant questions in modern astrophysics. We present a brief overview of recent results that inquire into the possible fermionic quantum nature of the DM particles, focusing mainly on the interconnec...

High-energy lepton scattering constitutes the focus of this study. Developments are provided to motivate the basic choices of kinematic variables for the particular case of semi-inclusive electron scattering where these variables are devised to match...

Production of pions in high-energy collisions with nuclei in the kinematics prohibited for free nucleons (“cumulative pions”) is studied in the fusing color string model. The model describes the so-called direct mechanism for cumulative p...

The setting of the renormalization scale (μr) in the perturbative QCD (pQCD) is one of the crucial problems for achieving precise fixed-order pQCD predictions. The conventional prescription is to take its value as the typical momentum transfer Q i...

The characterization of young planet distribution is essential for our understanding of the early evolution of exoplanets. Here we conduct a systematic search for young planets from young open clusters and associations using the 2-min cadence TESS su...

We demonstrate that the celebrated Stückelberg formalism is modified in the case of a massive four (3 + 1)-dimensional (4D) Abelian 2-form theory due to the presence of a self-duality discrete symmetry in the theory. The latter symmetry entails...

Can a Rotating Black Hole Be Overspun in Seven Dimensions?

  • Sanjar Shaymatov,
  • Bobomurat Ahmedov and
  • Eldor Karimbaev

17 April 2023

Five-dimensional rotating black holes with two rotations could be overspun except for a single rotation, whereas a black hole in six dimensions always obeys the weak cosmic censorship conjecture (WCCC) in the weak form even for linear particle accret...
