Why do some memories last a lifetime while others fade away? A groundbreaking new study sheds light on this mystery by uncovering hidden patterns of brain activity that support long-term memory. Using a framework inspired by thermodynamics, scientists have developed a novel approach to understanding how different brain regions work together to shape cognition.

Higher-form Symmetries in Linear Gravity
Adam Kmec
Abstract
Recently, work has been done to understand higher-form symmetries in linear gravity. Just like Maxwell theory, which has both electric and magnetic U(1) higher form symmetries, linearised gravity exhibits analogous structure. The authors of
[https://arxiv.org/pdf/2409.00178] investigate electric and magnetic higher form symmetries in linearised gravity, which correspond to shift symmetries of the graviton and the dual graviton respectively. By attempting to gauge the two symmetries, the authors investigate the mixed ’t Hooft anomalies anomaly structure of linearised gravity. Furthermore, if a specific shift symmetry is considered, the corresponding charges are related to Roger Penrose's quasi-local charge construction.

Parametrising complete intersections
Jakub Wiaterek
(University of Oxford)
Abstract
For some values of degrees d=(d_1,...,d_c), we construct a compactification of a Hilbert scheme of complete intersections of type d. We present both a quotient and a direct construction. Then we work towards the construction of a quasiprojective coarse moduli space of smooth complete intersections via Geometric Invariant Theory.
