We study integrated correlators of four superconformal primaries O_{p} with arbitrary charges p in N=4 super Yang-Mills theory. The ⟨O_{2}O_{2}O_{p}O_{p}⟩ integrated correlators can be computed by supersymmetric localization, whereas correlators with more general charges are currently not accessible from this method and, in general, contain complicated multiple zeta values. Nevertheless, we observe that, if one sums over the contributions from all different channels in a given correlator, then all the multiple zeta values (and products of ζ's) cancel, leaving only ζ(2ℓ+1) at ℓ loops. We then propose an exact expression of such integrated correlators in the planar limit, valid for arbitrary 't Hooft coupling. The expression matches with the known exact localization-based results for specific charges, as well as with all existing perturbative and strong-coupling results in the literature for more general charges. As an application, our result is used to determine certain seven-loop Feynman integral periods and fix previously unknown coefficients in the correlators at strong coupling.

Celestial Holography Revisited.

We revisit the prescription commonly used to define holographic correlators on the celestial sphere of Minkowski space as an integral transform of flat space scattering amplitudes. We propose a new prescription according to which celestial holographic correlators are given by the Mellin transform of bulk time-ordered correlators with respect to the radial direction in the hyperbolic slicing of Minkowski space, which are then extrapolated to the celestial sphere along the hyperbolic directions. This prescription is analogous to the extrapolate definition of holographic correlators in AdS/CFT and, like in AdS, is centered on (off-shell) correlation functions as opposed to (on-shell) S-matrix elements.

Pair correlations for a polar liquid-crystal (LC) system have been theoretically investigated by means of integral equation approach. Using the dipolar Gay-Berne (GB) interactions between the molecules that composed the LC system, calculations of the nearest-neighbor (NN) and next-NN (NNN) correlators as well as the order parameters and the static dielectric coefficients were performed. It is shown that for a simple cubic packing, NN dipoles tend to be mutually antiparallel with respect to the central dipole, while the opposite trend was observed for NNN dipoles.

Quantum Information Scrambling in Adiabatically Driven Critical Systems.

Quantum information scrambling refers to the spread of the initially stored information over many degrees of freedom of a quantum many-body system. Information scrambling is intimately linked to the thermalization of isolated quantum many-body systems, and has been typically studied in a sudden quench scenario. Here, we extend the notion of quantum information scrambling to critical quantum many-body systems undergoing an adiabatic evolution.

Characterization of electromagnetic wave polarization states is critical in various applications of materials, biomedical, and imaging. The emergence of metasurfaces opens up the possibility of implementing highly integrated full-Stokes imagers. Despite rapid development, prevailing schemes on metasurface-based full-Stokes imagers require interleaved or cascaded designs, inevitably resulting in performance deterioration, bulky size, and complicating the imaging procedure due to misalignment.

Energy correlators that describe energy-weighted distances between two or three particles in a hadronic jet are measured using an event sample of sqrt[s]=13  TeV proton-proton collisions collected by the CMS experiment and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36.3  fb^{-1}. The measured distributions are consistent with the trends in the simulation that reveal two key features of the strong interaction: confinement and asymptotic freedom.
