T T ¯ $$ \textrm{T}\overline{\textrm{T}} $$ deformations from AdS2 to dS2 by Sergio E. Aguilar-Gutierrez, Andrew Svesko, Manus R. Visser

“…We explore two distinct ways to achieve this: either through so-called centaur geometries that interpolate between AdS2 and dS2, or by a spherical dimensional reduction of T T ¯ $$ \textrm{T}\overline{\textrm{T}} $$ + Λ2 theories that were proposed to give a microscopic interpretation of three-dimensional de Sitter entropy. …”

Non-holomorphic modular S 4 lepton flavour models by Gui-Jun Ding, Jun-Nan Lu, S.T. Petcov, Bu-Yao Qu

“…Employing the finite modula group S 4 as a flavour symmetry group and assuming that the three left-handed lepton doublets furnish a triplet irreducible representation of S 4, we construct all possible 7- and 8-parameter lepton flavour models in which the neutrino masses are generated either by the Weinberg effective operator or by the type-I seesaw mechanism. …”

The impact of data from future lepton colliders on light hadrons fragmentation functions by Bin Zhou, Jun Gao

“…The high luminosity and high energies of future lepton colliders allow for quark flavor separations and ensure a precise determination of FFs based solely on data from electron-positron collisions. We find that either the CEPC, FCC-ee or ILC can significantly reduce the uncertainties of FFs in a wide kinematic range, compared to the NPC23 set obtained with a global analysis to current world data. …”
