End of the world brane dynamics in holographic 4d N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 4 SU(N) with 3d N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 2 boundary conditions by Jesús Huertas, Angel M. Uranga

“…The 5-brane configurations turn into non-trivial (p, q) webs and lead to non-trivial brane and gauge theory phenomena, including a 5d Z 2 global gauge anomaly cancelled by a novel 6d global anomaly inflow, and the appearance of localized 3d N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 2 Chern-Simons couplings and the 3d parity anomaly at the boundary of the 4d theory. The systems have explicit gravity duals, given by orientifolds of the AdS4 × S 2 × S 2 fibrations over a Riemann surface dual to the Gaiotto-Witten setups. …”

Plant root carbon inputs drive methane production in tropical peatlands by N. T. Girkin, A. Siegenthaler, O. Lopez, A. Stott, N. Ostle, V. Gauci, S. Sjögersten

“…However, there remain questions over the processes of CH4 production in these systems and how they relate to substrate supply. Principally, these questions relate to the relative contribution of recent photosynthetically fixed carbon, released as root exudates, versus carbon substrate supply from the slowly decomposing peat matrix to CH4 emissions within these ecosystems. …”
