TL;DR: In this article, an axially symmetric solution for f(R)-gravity can be derived starting from exact spherically symmetric solutions achieved by Noether symmetries.
Abstract: Axially symmetric solutions for f(R)-gravity can be derived starting from exact spherically symmetric solutions achieved by Noether symmetries. The method takes advantage of a complex coordinate transformation previously developed by Newman and Janis in general relativity. An example is worked out to show the general validity of the approach. The physical properties of the solution are also considered.

TL;DR: By numerical simulations of the Ising spin glass, there is evidence that spontaneous replica symmetry breaking theory and not the droplet model describes with good accuracy the equilibrium behavior of the system.
Abstract: By numerical simulations of the $3d$ Ising spin glass we find evidence that spontaneous replica symmetry breaking theory and not the droplet model describes with good accuracy the equilibrium behavior of the system.

TL;DR: Theories with an extra spin-two field coupled to gravity admit a massive phase with broken Lorentz symmetry, and the Newtonian potentials are in general modified, but they may be protected by a scale symmetry of the coupling term.
Abstract: Theories with an extra spin-two field coupled to gravity admit a massive phase with broken Lorentz symmetry. While the equivalence principle is respected, the Newtonian potentials are in general modified, but they may be protected by a scale symmetry of the coupling term. The gravitational waves phenomenology is quite rich: two gravitons, one massive and one massless, oscillate and propagate with distinct velocities, different from the speed of light. A time of flight difference between gravitons and photons from a common source would provide a clear signal of this theory.

TL;DR: In this article, the ground reaction force symmetry during walking and running was investigated and the results showed that ground reaction forces varied with walking speed and stride length during running and walking, respectively.

TL;DR: For a large class of vorticities, this article proved that a steady periodic deep-water wave must be symmetric if its profile is monotone between crests and troughs.
