DESI DR2 results. II. Measurements of baryon acoustic oscillations and cosmological constraints
We present baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) measurements from more than 14 million galaxies and quasars drawn from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) Data Release 2 (DR2), based on three years of operation. For cosmology inference, these galaxy measurements are combined with DESI…

GWTC-2.1: Deep extended catalog of compact binary coalescences observed by LIGO and Virgo during the first half of the third observing run
GWTC-2.1 is a catalog of gravitational wave events from compact binary coalescences from the first half of the third observing run of Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo. It improves on GWTC-2, which covered the same period but with less refined analysis methods. GWTC-2.1 identifies 8 new events, all…

Review of Particle Physics
The summarizes much of particle physics and cosmology. Using data from previous editions, plus 2,717 new measurements from 869 papers, we list, evaluate, and average measured properties of gauge bosons and the recently discovered Higgs boson, leptons, quarks, mesons, and baryons. We summarize…

Averages of b -hadron, c -hadron, and τ -lepton properties as of 2021
This paper reports world averages of measurements of $b$-hadron, $c$-hadron, and $τ$-lepton properties obtained by the Heavy Flavour Averaging Group using results available before April 2021. In rare cases, significant results obtained several months later are also used. For the averaging, common…

Dark Energy Survey Year 3 results: Cosmology from cosmic shear and robustness to modeling uncertainty
This work and its companion paper, Amon et al. [Phys. Rev. D 105, 023514 (2022)], present cosmic shear measurements and cosmological constraints from over 100 million source galaxies in the Dark Energy Survey (DES) Year 3 data. We constrain the lensing amplitude parameter…

Noninvertible duality defects in 3 + 1 dimensions
A novel kind of generalized global symmetries is uncovered in a large class of familiar 3+1-dimensional gauge theories, including the free Maxwell theory and Yang-Mills gauge theories. These new symmetries, known as the non-invertible global symmetries, do not have inverses and thus go beyond the…

Dark Energy Survey Year 3 results: Cosmology from cosmic shear and robustness to data calibration
This work, together with its companion paper, Secco, Samuroff et al. [Phys. Rev. D 105, 023515 (2022)], present the Dark Energy Survey Year 3 cosmic-shear measurements and cosmological constraints based on an analysis of over 100 million source galaxies. With the data spanning $4143\text{ }\text{…

Dark Energy Survey Year 3 results: Cosmological constraints from galaxy clustering and weak lensing
We present the first cosmology results from large-scale structure using the full 5000 deg 2 of imaging data from the Dark Energy Survey (DES) Data Release 1.We perform an analysis of large-scale structure combining three two-point correlation functions (3 × 2pt): (i) cosmic shear using 100 million…

Black holes in galaxies: Environmental impact on gravitational-wave generation and propagation
We introduce a family of solutions of Einstein's gravity minimally coupled to an anisotropic fluid, describing asymptotically flat black holes with ``hair'' and a regular horizon. These spacetimes can describe the geometry of galaxies harboring supermassive black holes, and are extensions of…

Improved limits on the tensor-to-scalar ratio using BICEP and P l a n c k data
We present constraints on the tensor-to-scalar ratio $r$ using a combination of BICEP/Keck 2018 (BK18) and Planck PR4 data allowing us to fit for $r$ consistently with the six parameters of the $\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Lambda}}\mathrm{CDM}$ model. We discuss the sensitivity of constraints on $r$ to…

BOSS DR12 full-shape cosmology: ΛCDM constraints from the large-scale galaxy power spectrum and bispectrum monopole
We present a full $\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Lambda}}\mathrm{CDM}$ analysis of the BOSS DR12 dataset, including information from the power spectrum multipoles, the real-space power spectrum, the reconstructed power spectrum and the bispectrum monopole. This is the first analysis to feature a complete…

Quantum chaos and the complexity of spread of states
Complexity plays an important role in the study of black holes in quantum gravity, and of interacting many-body systems in condensed matter physics. The authors propose a definition of quantum state complexity, which agrees with earlier definitions under certain conditions. They compute the…

Constraints on black-hole charges with the 2017 EHT observations of M87*
Our understanding of strong gravity near supermassive compact objects has recently improved thanks to the measurements made by the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT). We use here the M87* shadow size to infer constraints on the physical charges of a large variety of nonrotating or rotating black holes…

Upper limits on the isotropic gravitational-wave background from Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo’s third observing run
We report results of a search for an isotropic gravitational-wave background (GWB) using data from Advanced LIGO's and Advanced Virgo's third observing run (O3) combined with upper limits from the earlier O1 and O2 runs. Unlike in previous observing runs in the advanced detector era, we include…

Curvature tension: Evidence for a closed universe
The curvature parameter tension between Planck 2018, cosmic microwave background (CMB) lensing, and baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) data is measured using the suspiciousness statistic to be $2.5--3\ensuremath{\sigma}$. Conclusions regarding the spatial curvature of the Universe which stem from…

IceCube high-energy starting event sample: Description and flux characterization with 7.5 years of data
The IceCube Neutrino Observatory has established the existence of a high-energy all-sky neutrino flux of astrophysical origin. This discovery was made using events interacting within a fiducial region of the detector surrounded by an active veto and with reconstructed energy above 60 TeV, commonly…

Dark photon limits: A handbook
The dark photon is a massive hypothetical particle that interacts with the Standard Model by kinetically mixing with the visible photon. For small values of the mixing parameter, dark photons can evade cosmological bounds to be a viable dark matter candidate. Due to the similarities with the…

Cosmological solutions and growth index of matter perturbations in f ( Q ) gravity
The present work studies one of Einstein's alternative formulations based on the nonmetricity scalar $Q$ generalized as $f(Q)$ theory. More specifically, we consider the power-law form of $f(Q)$ gravity, i.e., $f(Q)=Q+\ensuremath{\alpha}{Q}^{n}$. Here, we analyze the behavior of the cosmological…

We present the cosmological implications from final measurements of clustering using galaxies, quasars, and $\mathrm{Ly}\ensuremath{\alpha}$ forests from the completed Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) lineage of experiments in large-scale structure. These experiments, composed of data from SDSS…

New CTEQ global analysis of quantum chromodynamics with high-precision data from the LHC
This work details the release of the CTEQ-TEA collaboration's updated set of parton distribution functions, CT18. These PDFs are a crucial input to almost all theory and experimental calculations carried out at the LHC and potentially other hadron colliders. The new set supersedes the CT14…
