We calculate the leading contribution to the spectral density of the Wilson Dirac operator using chiral perturbation theory where volume and lattice spacing corrections are given by universal scaling functions. We find analytical expressions for the spectral density on the scale of the average level spacing, and introduce a chiral random matrix theory that reproduces these results. Our work opens up a novel approach to the infinite-volume limit of lattice gauge theory at finite lattice spacing and new ways to extract coefficients of Wilson chiral perturbation theory.

The phenomenon of unpaired Weyl fermions appearing on the sole 2n-dimensional boundary of a (2n+1)-dimensional manifold with massive Dirac fermions was recently analyzed in D. B. Kaplan [preceding Letter, Chiral gauge theory at the boundary between topological phases, Phys.

Floquet insulators are periodically driven quantum systems that can host novel topological phases as a function of the drive parameters. These new phases exhibit features reminiscent of fermion doubling in discrete-time lattice fermion theories. We make this suggestion concrete by mapping the spectrum of a noninteracting (1+1)D Floquet insulator for certain drive parameters onto that of a discrete-time lattice fermion theory with a time-independent Hamiltonian.

Cause-specific estimates of mortality and the subsequent effects on life expectancy worldwide are valuable metrics to gauge progress in reducing mortality rates. These estimates are particularly important following large-scale mortality spikes, such as the COVID-19 pandemic.

- - The GBD 2021 provides updated demographic estimates for 204 countries and territories, covering changes in mortality and life expectancy associated with the COVID-19 pandemic from 1950 to 2021, highlighting the significant impact of the pandemic on global health trends.
- - To estimate mortality and impacts of the pandemic, researchers utilized over 22,000 data sources, including vital registration and surveys, while also accounting for various factors like migration, epidemics, and disasters that affect population health metrics.
- - Advanced statistical methods, specifically spatiotemporal Gaussian process regression (ST-GPR), were employed to calculate under-5 and adult mortality rates, which were then used to create life tables, with adjustments made for countries severely affected by

Article Synopsis
- - There are conflicting conclusions on whether easy-plane quantum antiferromagnets experience a second-order phase transition or a first-order one, with traditional theories suggesting the latter due to competing order parameters.
- - The concept of a deconfined quantum critical point (DQCP) is introduced, where order parameters are seen as fractionalized particles that become deconfined only at the critical point, challenging earlier claims of a first-order transition.
- - Through lattice duality transformations and renormalization group analysis, it is established that the easy-plane antiferromagnet does exhibit a DQCP, leading to a second-order phase transition involving massless Dirac fermions at the critical point.
