We focus on the transition between spacelike and timelike separations. By considering boosted subsystems in conformal and confining holographic backgrounds, we identify two classes of extremal surfaces; real ones (Type I) and complex surfaces (Type II). These interpolate between the usual Ryu-Takayanagi prescription and its timelike generalizations. We derive explicit expressions for the entanglement entropy in both conformal and confining cases and discuss their behavior across phase transitions, and null limits. The interpolation between Type I and Type II surfaces reveals an analytic continuation of the extremal surface across the light cone. Our analysis also finds the existence of a Ryu-Takayanagi surface (Type I) even for timelike separations in the confining field theory case.","PeriodicalId":20167,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review D","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145209582","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

More specifically, a detailed analysis is provided in which the mass hierarchy of the normalized fields in the Kähler moduli sector is determined by the scales of the integer fluxes and the quantum corrections. Furthermore, we compute the previously underestimated contributions to the decay rates of moduli to axions, which behave as dark radiation, highlighting their connection to the aforementioned higher-order corrections. Two contrasting reheating scenarios (low scale and high scale) are provided, depending on the decay rate of the longest-lived particle into the Standard Model degrees of freedom through a Giudice-Masiero mechanism, while the effective number of neutrino species Δ</a:mi>N</a:mi>eff</a:mi></a:msub></a:math> remains below the respective bounds.

In this proof-of-concept study, we argue that this problem is particularly well suited for machine learning. We demonstrate that a simple neural architecture consisting of a variational autoencoder and a multilayer perceptron can efficiently generate unique molecules with desired properties. In specific, the energy threshold and signal (quantum) efficiency determine the minimum mass and cross section to which a detector can be sensitive. Organic molecules present a particularly interesting class of materials with intrinsically anisotropic electronic responses and O</a:mi>(</a:mo>few</a:mi>)</a:mo></a:mtext></a:mtext>eV</a:mi></a:mrow></a:math> excitation energies. However, the space of possible organic compounds is intractably large, which makes traditional database screening challenging. We adopt excitation energies and proxy transition matrix elements as target properties learned by our network. Our model is able to generate molecules that are not in even the most expansive quantum chemistry databases and predict their relevant properties for high-throughput and efficient screening. Following a massive generation of novel molecules, we use clustering analysis to identify some of the most promising molecular structures that optimize the desired molecular properties for dark matter detection.","PeriodicalId":20167,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review D","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145202942","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
