# gst: localization of information driven by stochastic resetting.

<< ️The dynamics of extended many-body systems are generically chaotic. Classically, a hallmark of chaos is the exponential sensitivity to initial conditions captured by positive Lyapunov exponents. Supplementing chaotic dynamics with stochastic resetting drives a sharp dynamical phase transition: (AA) show that the Lyapunov spectrum, i.e., the complete set of Lyapunov exponents, abruptly collapses to zero above a critical resetting rate. >>

<< ️At criticality, (They) find a sudden loss of analyticity of the velocity-dependent Lyapunov exponent, which (They) relate to the transition from ballistic scrambling of information to an arrested regime where information becomes exponentially localized over a characteristic length diverging at criticality with an exponent 𝜈=1/2 and a dynamical exponent 𝑧=2. (They) illustrate (Their) analytical results on generic chaotic dynamics by numerical simulations of coupled map lattices. >>

# sound: screeching sound of peeling tape.

<< ️The screeching of peeling tape is a familiar albeit annoying sound. However, despite decades of study, its source has remained elusive. Herein (AA) demonstrate that this sound is produced by a discrete train of weak shocks emanating from the fine fractures which travel supersonically with respect to the surrounding air, in the transverse direction within the detaching adhesive. >>

<< ️Each sound pulse is generated when a fracture tip reaches the edge of the tape. (They) verify this using two microphones synchronized with clips from two simultaneous high-speed video cameras, one observing the fracture motions in the adhesive through the transparent substrate, while the other captures schlieren imaging of the shock fronts in the air. >>

# brain: collective dynamics in spiking neural networks beyond Dale's principle.

<< ️Dale's Principle has historically guided neuroscience research as a valuable rule of thumb, namely that all synapses on each neuron release the same set of neurotransmitters. Most existing Spiking Neuron Network models share this dichotomous assumption that neurons are either excitatory or inhibitory; however, recent experimental evidence points towards co-release mechanisms that violate this assumption. >>

<< ️Here, (AA) introduce a minimal model of "Bilingual" neurons violating Dale's principle that can exert both excitatory and inhibitory effects. (They) identify parameter regimes in which this architecture exhibits transitions between synchronous and asynchronous dynamics that differ quantitatively from those observed in a matched monolingual control architecture. >>

<< ️(AA) report distinct information-processing signatures both at the level of neurons and higher-order interactions between them near the phase transitions. These (AA) results suggest that the population of neurons violating Dale's principle may provide an alternative mechanism for regulating large-scale oscillatory activity in neural circuits. >>

# gst: multi-ring necklace vortex solitons in Kerr nonlinear media with azimuthally modulated Bessel potentials.

<< ️(AA) address the existence, stability, and dynamics of single-ring and multi-ring vorticity-carrying necklace solitons under the action of the Kerr nonlinearity and a Bessel-lattice potential modulated in the azimuthal direction. The model may be realized in the spatial domain for bulk optical waveguides, the spatiotemporal domain for optical cavities, and for effectively two-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensates. The setup supports single- and multi-ring necklace vortex patterns, including monopoles, dipoles, tripoles, quadrupoles, pentapoles, sextupoles, octupoles, and 12-poles. >>

<< ️In contrast with the inherent instability of conventional vortex beams with high topological charges (winding numbers), vortex necklace-shaped solitons with large winding numbers are found to be stable in the present setup. In particular, octupoles exhibit stable breathing dynamics, and 12-pole necklaces with high winding numbers may be stable. >>

<< ️These (AA) findings provide a new way for generating stable vortex necklaces, offering a vast potential for manipulations of complex spatiotemporal light fields. >>

# gst: superflows around corners.

<< ️(AA) investigate analytically and numerically the dynamics of a two-dimensional superflow governed by the Gross-Pitaevskii equation passing over finite-size rectangular obstacles: an impenetrable wall and an impenetrable rectangular well. Extending classical studies of vortex nucleation around smooth obstacles, (They) focus on the role of sharp corners in determining the onset of vortex nucleation. Using a combination of analytical techniques based on the Schwarz-Christoffel methods for potential flow and on numerical simulations, (They) show that local velocity amplification near sharp corners crucially controls the critical flow velocity for vortex nucleation. >>

<< ️For both wall and well configurations, (They) identify analytically and theoretically the critical velocities as a function of the obstacle width and its height or depth, finding an excellent agreement between the theory and (Their) numerical simulations. (Their) results provide a simple framework for understanding superflow stability past finite-size obstacles with sharp features and are directly relevant to experimentally realizable configurations in atomic Bose-Einstein condensates and related superfluid systems. >>

# gst: a phase description of mutually coupled chaotic oscillators.

<< ️The synchronization of rhythms is ubiquitous in both natural and engineered systems, and the demand for data-driven analysis is growing. When rhythms arise from limit cycles, phase reduction theory shows that their dynamics are universally modeled as coupled phase oscillators under weak coupling. This simple representation enables direct inference of inter-rhythm coupling functions from measured time-series data. >>

<< ️However, strongly rhythmic chaos can masquerade as noisy limit cycles. In such cases, standard estimators still return plausible coupling functions even though a phase-oscillator model lacks a priori justification. >>

<< ️(AA) therefore extend the phase description to the chaotic oscillators. Specifically, (They) derive a closed equation for the phase difference by defining the phase on a Poincaré section and averaging the phase dynamics over invariant measures of the induced return maps. Numerically, the derived theoretical functions are in close agreement with those inferred from time-series data. Consequently, (Their) results justify the applicability of phase description to coupled chaotic oscillators and show that data-driven coupling functions retain clear dynamical meaning in the absence of limit cycles. >>

# gst: spatiotemporal noise stabilizes unbounded diversity in strongly-competitive communities.

<< ️Classical ecological models predict that large, diverse communities should be unstable, presenting a central challenge to explaining the stable biodiversity seen in nature. (AA) revisit this long-standing problem by extending the generalized Lotka-Volterra model to include both spatial structure and environmental fluctuations across space and time.  >>

<< ️(They) find that neither space nor environmental noise alone can resolve the tension between diversity and stability, but that their combined effects permit arbitrarily many species to stably coexist despite strongly disordered competitive interactions. (They) analytically characterize the noise-induced transition to coexistence, showing that spatiotemporal noise drives an anomalous scaling of abundance fluctuations, known empirically as Taylor's law. >>

<< ️At the community level, this manifests as an effective sublinear self-inhibition that renders the community stable and asymptotically neutral in the high-diversity limit. Spatiotemporal noise thus provides a novel resolution to the diversity-stability paradox and a generic mechanism by which complex communities can persist. >>
