Cosmological consequences of scale-dependent Barrow-Tsallis entropy
gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

A scale-dependent Barrow-Tsallis entropy cosmology fits cosmic data but is statistically disfavored versus ΛCDM, with only a modest and partially circular Hubble-tension 'alleviation'.
Carrollian Lie Algebroids: Taming Singular Carrollian Geometries
math.DG 2025-10 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

Carrollian Lie algebroids extend Carrollian geometry to allow Carroll vector fields with zeros, encode the singularities in the anchor map, and always admit Carrollian (compatible) connections.
The Poincar\'e-Boltzmann Machine: from Statistical Physics to Machine Learning and back
q-bio.NC 2019-07 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

Information cohomology is computed in low degrees to establish multivariate mutual informations as k-coboundaries, with simplicial structures yielding free-energy interpretations and a topological minimum free energy complex.
