ULTRAHIGH-ENERGY GAMMA RAYS AND GRAVITATIONAL WAVES FROM PRIMORDIAL EXOTIC STELLAR BUBBLES



Cucurbit plant defenses against aboveground or belowground insect herbivores are distinct and shaped by eco-evolutionary factors

Plant defense strategies against insect herbivores are classified broadly as resistance or tolerance.Resistance deters insect growth or feeding, while tolerance mitigates negative effects of herbivory on plant fitness.Plant investment into resistance or tolerance strategies likely falls along a continuum that has been shaped by eco-evolutionary fac

Supersymmetric vortex loops in 3D gauge theories

Abstract We give a precise definition of BPS vortex loops in 3D non-abelian gauge theories with N $$ mathcal{N} $$ = 2 SUSY by the path integral over fields with a prescribed singular behavior.We compute the expectation value of a BPS Clearance vortex loop on an ellipsoid.Using the result we revisit the known equivalence between Wilson and vortex l
