VEDAL: Variational Error-Driven Asynchronous Learning for 3D Gaussian Splatting Pruning

3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) achieves remarkable novel view synthesis quality with real-time rendering, yet suffers from excessive memory consumption due to millions of Gaussian primitives. Existing pruning methods rely on heuristic importance scores or synchronous batch updates, leading to suboptimal compression and training instability. We propose VEDAL, a principled framework that formulates Gaussian pruning as variational free energy minimization. Our approach introduces (1) a prediction-error gating mechanism that asynchronously activates pruning based on per-Gaussian reconstruction uncertainty, and (2) a variational uncertainty head that models pruning decisions as latent variables with learnable priors. The free energy objective naturally balances reconstruction fidelity against model complexity through an information-theoretic lens. Extensive experiments on Mip-NeRF 360, Tanks&Temples, and Deep Blending demonstrate that VEDAL achieves 5.2x compression with only 0.31 dB PSNR drop, outperforming PUP 3D-GS by +0.05 dB at a higher compression ratio and LightGaussian by +0.35 dB at comparable quality, while maintaining real-time rendering at 185 FPS.

Shadows and Polarization Images of a Four-dimensional Gauss-Bonnet Black Hole Irradiated by a Thick Accretion Disk

We adopt a general relativistic ray-tracing approach to study the shadows and polarization images of spherically symmetric Gauss-Bonnet (GB) black holes enveloped by geometrically thick accretion flows. Specifically, we adopt a phenomenological RIAF-like model and an analytical Hou disk model. In the RIAF-like model, increasing the GB coupling parameter $\lambda$ reduces both the size and brightness of the higher-order image, while increasing $\theta$ alters the shape of the higher-order image and obscures the horizon's outline. The main difference between isotropic and anisotropic emission is that the latter produce distortion of the high-order image in the vertical direction, leading to an elliptical morphology. For the Hou disk model, due to specific regions being geometrically thinner with the conical approximation, the high-order images are narrower with the increase in $\lambda$ than the RIAF model. While increasing $\theta$ enhances the brightness of the direct images outside the higher-order images, but hardly changes the size of the higher-order images, which is in sharp contrast to the RIAF model. Meanwhile, the Hou disk produces polarization patterns that trace the brightness configuration and are affected by $\lambda$ and $\theta$, reflecting the intrinsic structure of spacetime. These results illustrate that intensity and polarization in thick-disk models provide probes of GB black holes and near-horizon accretion dynamics.

Symmetry-engineered and electrically tunable in-plane anomalous Hall effect in oxide heterostructures

The family of Hall effects has long served as a premier probe of how symmetry, magnetic order, and topology intertwine in solids. Recently, the in-plane anomalous Hall effect (IP-AHE), a transverse Hall response driven by in-plane magnetization, has emerged as a distinct member of this family, offering innovative spintronic functionalities and illuminating intricate interplay between mirror-symmetry breaking and in-plane magnetic order. However, practical routes to deterministically and reversibly control IP-AHE remain limited. Here, we establish a symmetry-engineered IP-AHE platform, CaRuO3/La2/3Ca1/3MnO3/CaRuO3 heterostructure on NdGaO3(110), that turns strict mirror-symmetry breaking constraints into effective tuning knobs. IP-AHE in these epitaxial trilayers unambiguously couples to the CaRuO3-buffer-induced mirror-symmetry breaking and faithfully reproduces the ferromagnetic hysteresis. Ionic liquid gating further enables reversible reconfigurations of the symmetry breaking, thereby achieving electrical modulation and ON/OFF switching of IP-AHE. This highly tunable IP-AHE platform opens pathways for exploring nontrivial magnetic order and developing programmable Hall functionalities in planar geometries.

Imaging and polarization patterns of various thick disks around Kerr-MOG black holes

We investigate the imaging and polarization properties of Kerr-MOG black holes surrounded by geometrically thick accretion flows. The MOG parameter $\alpha$ introduces deviations from the Kerr metric, providing a means to test modified gravity in the strong field regime. Two representative accretion models are considered: the phenomenological radiatively inefficient accretion flow (RIAF) and the analytical ballistic approximation accretion flow (BAAF). Using general relativistic radiative transfer, we compute synchrotron emission and polarization maps under different spins, MOG parameters, inclinations, and observing frequencies. In both models, the photon ring and central dark region expand with increasing $\alpha$, whereas frame dragging produces pronounced brightness asymmetry. The BAAF model predicts a narrower bright ring and distinct polarization morphology near the event horizon. By introducing the net polarization angle $\chi_{\text{net}}$ and the second Fourier mode $\angle\beta_2$, we quantify inclination- and frame-dragging-induced polarization features. Our results reveal that both $\alpha$ and spin significantly influence the near-horizon polarization patterns, suggesting that high-resolution polarimetric imaging could serve as a promising probe of modified gravity in the strong field regime.

Shadow and Polarization Images of Rotating Black Holes in Kalb-Ramond Gravity Illuminated by Several Thick Accretion Disks

Using ray-tracing techniques, this paper investigates the optical and polarization images of rotating black holes in Kalb-Ramond (KR) gravity illuminated by thick accretion disks. We examine two accretion disk models: the phenomenological radiatively inefficient accretion flow (RIAF) model and the analytical ballistic approximation accretion flow (BAAF) model. The RIAF model incorporates both isotropic and anisotropic radiation. In all models, the external bright rings corresponding to the high-order image and the internal dark region associated with the event horizon are observed. At high observational inclinations, the inner shadows are obscured by the radiation from the equatorial plane, which is significantly different from the thin accretion disk model. The primary distinction between isotropic and anisotropic radiation is that the latter causes distortion of the high-order image in the vertical direction, resulting in an elliptical structure. For the BAAF model, due to certain regions are geometrically thinner under the conical approximation, the high-order images are narrower compared to the RIAF model. Furthermore, we find that an increase in the rotational parameter $a$ leads to an asymmetry in the intensity distribution of the high-order image, while an increase in the spontaneous Lorentz violating parameters, $\varsigma$ and $\varpi$, results in a decrease in the size of the high-order image. In the polarization image, the linear polarization is found to be significantly influenced by the intensity, while it is relatively less affected by the parameters $\varsigma$ and $\varpi$. The electric vector position angle is mainly affected by the parameters $\varsigma$ and $\varpi$.

Observational features of the Bardeen-boson star with thin disk accretion

In this work, we construct spherically symmetric solutions of Bardeen--boson stars within the framework of the Einstein--Klein--Gordon theory coupled to nonlinear electrodynamics by employing numerical methods. Considering a thin accretion disk in the equatorial plane as the light source, we systematically investigate the optical appearance of boson stars using the ray-tracing method and the stereographic projection technique. Particular attention is paid to the influence of the initial scalar field $\phi_0$, the magnetic charge $\mathcal{G}$, and the observation angle $\theta_o$, on the image structure. As compact horizonless objects, boson stars produce optical images dominated by direct emission, while their morphology undergoes significant distortions as $\theta_o$ increases. Higher values of $\phi_0$ and $\theta_o$ can give rise to lensing images. For all the parameters, the image center exhibits a brightness depression similar to the inner shadow of black holes, which poses challenges for distinguishing between boson stars and black holes. To address this, we propose two possible approaches: (i) combining the analysis of lensing bands with the effective potential to determine the existence of photon rings; and (ii) examining the polarization effects under synchrotron emission mechanisms. These results provide theoretical support for future high-resolution imaging efforts aimed at discriminating boson stars from black holes.

Optical images of massive boson stars with nonlinear electrodynamics

This study investigates the optical imaging characteristics of massive boson stars based on a model with Einstein's nonlinear electrodynamics. Under asymptotically flat boundary conditions, the field equations are solved numerically to obtain the spacetime metric of the massive boson stars. Employing the ray-tracing method, we analyze the optical images of the massive boson stars under two illumination conditions: a celestial light source and a thin accretion disk. The research reveals that the configurations and optical images of the massive boson stars can be tuned via the initial parameter $\phi_0$ and the coupling constant $\Lambda$. The absence of the event horizon in the massive boson stars results in distinct optical image characteristics compared to those of black holes.

The shadow and accretion disk images of the rotation loop quantum black bounce

In this paper, we study the shadow and observational image of the Kerr-like Loop Quantum Gravity (LQG) inspired black bounce with the help of the celestial light source and the thin disk source by employing the backward ray-tracing method. The results indicate that both the LQG parameter alpha and the rotation parameter a contribute to a reduction in the shadow size; however, the influence of a is predominant, while the effect of alpha circular orbit. One can find that the correlation parameter (a, alpha), along with the observer's inclination angle, affect the image's asymmetry and the distortion of the inner shadow. As the inclination increases, the direct and lensed images diverge, creating a structure resembling a hat. Meanwhile, we also investigate the redshift distribution of the direct lensed images of the accretion disk under different parameters and observation angle. The results show that the distribution of redshift and observed intensity is obviously related to the behavior of accretion flow. These results may provide a potential approach to limit black hole parameters, detect quantum gravity effects, and distinguish the LQG black hole from other black hole models.

Holographic Einstein Ring of Deformed AdS-Schwarzschild Black Holes

In this work, the wave optics is employed to investigate the Einstein ring of a deformed AdS-Schwarzschild black hole (BH). When the source is fixed on the AdS boundary, one can obtain the corresponding response function generated on the antipodal side of the boundary. By utilizing a virtual optical system equipped with a convex lens, we are able to capture an image of the BH's holographic Einstein ring on the screen. The influence of the relevant physical parameters and the observer's position on the characteristics of the Einstein ring is also investigated, revealing that variations in the observer's position result in a transition of the displayed image from an axisymmetric ring to an arc, ultimately converging into a solitary point of luminosity. In addition, variations in the relevant physical parameters naturally exert influences on the Einstein ring. The photon ring of the BH was also investigated from a geometric optics perspective, and the numerical results indicate that the incident angle of the photon ring aligns with that of the Einstein ring. In the context of modified gravity theories, the investigation of Einstein rings formed by deformed AdS-Schwarzschild BH is expected to not only contribute to advancing the development of gravitational theories but also facilitate a more comprehensive understanding of spacetime geometry and the physical properties of BHs, thereby distinguishing them from Schwarzschild BH.

Super-tetragonal Sr4Al2O7: a versatile sacrificial layer for high-integrity freestanding oxide membranes

Releasing the epitaxial oxide heterostructures from substrate constraints leads to the emergence of various correlated electronic phases and paves the way for integrations with advanced semiconductor technologies. Identifying a suitable water-soluble sacrificial layer, compatible with the high-quality epitaxial growth of oxide heterostructures, is currently the key to the development of large-scale freestanding oxide membranes. In this study, we unveil the super-tetragonal Sr4Al2O7 (SAOT) as a promising water-soluble sacrificial layer. The distinct low-symmetric crystal structure of SAOT enables a superior capability to sustain epitaxial strain, thus allowing for broad tunability in lattice constants. The resultant structural coherency and defect-free interface in perovskite ABO3/SAOT heterostructures effectively restrain crack formations during the water-assisted release of freestanding oxide membranes. For a variety of non-ferroelectric oxide membranes, the crack-free areas can span up to a few millimeters in length scale. These compelling features, combined with the inherent high-water solubility, make SAOT a versatile and feasible sacrificial layer for producing high-quality freestanding oxide membranes, thereby boosting their potential for innovative oxide electronics and flexible device designs.

Highly Tunable Perpendicular Magnetic Anisotropy and Anisotropic Magnetoresistance in Ru-doped La0.67Sr0.33MnO3 Epitaxial Films

As a prototypical half-metallic ferromagnet, La0.67Sr0.33MnO3 (LSMO) has been extensively studied due to its versatile physical properties and great potential in spintronic applications. However, the weak perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) limits the controllability and detection of magnetism in LSMO, thus hindering the realization of oxide-based spintronic devices with low energy consumption and high integration level. Motivated by this challenge, we develop an experimental approach to enhance the PMA of LSMO epitaxial films. By cooperatively introducing 4d Ru doping and a moderate compressive strain, the maximum uniaxial magnetic anisotropy in Ru-doped LSMO can reach 3.0 to 1E5 J/m3 at 10 K. Furthermore, we find a significant anisotropic magnetoresistance effect in these Ru-doped LSMO films, which is dominated by the strong PMA. Our findings offer an effective pathway to harness and detect the orientations of magnetic moments in LSMO films, thus promoting the feasibility of oxide-based spintronic devices, such as spin valves and magnetic tunnel junctions.

Ru doping induced spin frustration and enhancement of the room-temperature anomalous Hall effect in La2/3Sr1/3MnO3 films

In transition-metal-oxide heterostructures, the anomalous Hall effect (AHE) is a powerful tool for detecting the magnetic state and revealing intriguing interfacial magnetic orderings. However, achieving a larger AHE at room temperature in oxide heterostructures is still challenging due to the dilemma of mutually strong spin-orbit coupling and magnetic exchange interactions. Here, we exploit the Ru doping-enhanced AHE in LSMRO epitaxial films. As the B-site Ru doping level increases up to 20 percent, the anomalous Hall resistivity at room temperature can be enhanced from nOhmcm to uOhmcm scale. Ru doping leads to strong competition between ferromagnetic double-exchange interaction and antiferromagnetic super-exchange interaction. The resultant spin frustration and spin-glass state facilitate a strong skew-scattering process, thus significantly enhancing the extrinsic AHE. Our findings could pave a feasible approach for boosting the controllability and reliability of oxide-based spintronic devices.
