• Abstract: Spinor fields with a vortex structure in free space that allow them to have arbitrary integer orbital angular momentum along the direction of motion have been studied for some time. Relatively new is the observation in a certain context that the vortex center of this field structure is, unlike a classical whirlpool, not singular. We point out that there are several ways to calculate the local velocity of the spinor field and that all but one show a singular vorticity at the vortex line. That one, using the Dirac bilinear current with no derivatives, is the only one so far (to our knowledge) studied in the literature in this context and we further show how to understand an apparent conflict in the existing results.

  We study the dynamics of EVBs in magnetic fields using exact solutions of the relativistic paraxial equation in magnetic fields. We provide a unified description of different regimes under generalized Gouy rotation, linking the Gouy phase to EVB rotation angles. This work offers new insights into the dynamics of EVBs in magnetic fields and suggests practical applications in beam manipulation and beam optics of vortex particles.

  We apply a perturbative scheme to derive the non-relativistic Schr"odinger equation in curved spacetime. We calculate the next-to-leading order corrections to the neutron's energy spectrum. While the current precision for observations of ultracold neutrons may not yet enable to probe them, they could still be relevant in the future or in alternative circumstances.

  The Schr"odinger equation on a circle with an initially localized profile of the wave function is known to give rise to revivals or replications. The structure of singularities of the resulting wave function is characterized in detail. It is suggested that, differently from the circle case, these regions are not lines but instead some specific set of points along the sphere.

  Oceanographers are interested in reconstructing ocean currents away from buoys and identifying divergences in a current vector field. We show that applying a GP with a standard stationary kernel directly to buoy data can struggle at both current reconstruction and divergence identification. We propose to instead put a standard stationary kernel on the divergence and curl-free components of a vector field obtained through a Helmholtz decomposition.

  We present a novel self-supervised Riemannian graph neural network (SelfRGNN) Specifically, we design a curvature-varying GNN with a theoretically grounded time encoding, and formulate a functional curvature over time to model the evolvement shifting among the positive, zero and negative curvature spaces. Extensive experiments show the superiority of SelfRGNN, and moreover, the case study shows the time-varying curvature of temporal graph in reality.

• Glimmers of a post-geometric perspective [0.0]
  Quantum gravitational effects can become important at low energy if the wavefunction of the metric field fails to be peaked around a classical configuration. We try to understand such deviations from classicality within canonical quantum gravity by introducing a "fluid of observers" We find that, even in the presence of relevant fluctuations in the metric field, a locally flat limit is recovered in the neighbourhood of each observer.

  This work is a continuation of our recent study of non-relativistic charged particles, confined to a sphere enclosing a magnetic dipole at its center. We extend our computations in two significant ways. The first is to a relativistic spin-$frac12$ fermion and the second concerns the interpretation of the physics.
