Sonata Form as Temporal Process: the First Movement of Bruckner's Sixth symphony (2024)
Journal Article
Kim, S. (2024). Sonata Form as Temporal Process: the First Movement of Bruckner's Sixth symphony. Music Analysis, 43(1), 36-76. https://doi.org/10.1111/musa.12224

The timeworn view that Bruckner's sonata form is a motionless architecture devoid of dynamic processes has long contributed his isolation from the mainstream post-Beethovenian tradition. Taking inspiration from August Halm's (1914) and Ernst Kurth's... Read More about Sonata Form as Temporal Process: the First Movement of Bruckner's Sixth symphony.

Minkowski functionals of large-scale structure as a probe of modified gravity (2024)
Journal Article
Jiang, A., Liu, W., Fang, W., Li, B., Barrera-Hinojosa, C., & Zhang, Y. (in press). Minkowski functionals of large-scale structure as a probe of modified gravity. Physical Review D, 109(8), Article 083537. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevd.109.083537

In this study, we explore the potential of utilizing the four Minkowski functionals, which can fully describe the morphological properties of the large-scale structures, as a robust tool for investigating the modified gravity, particularly on nonline...

Charting the free energy landscape of metastable topological magnetic objects (2024)
Journal Article
Criado, J. C., Hatton, P. D., Lanza, Á., Schenk, S., & Spannowsky, M. (2024). Charting the free energy landscape of metastable topological magnetic objects. Physical Review B, 109(19), Article 195114. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevb.109.195114

Chiral magnets with Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions feature a rich phase diagram with a variety of thermodynamical phases. These include helical and conical spin arrangements and topologically charged objects such as (anti)Skyrmions. Crucially, du...
