The Role of Symmetry in Topological Insulators and Superconductors
Abstract: Topological insulators and superconductors constitute a class of quantum materials characterized by insulating bulks and symmetry-protected conducting boundaries. Symmetry principles, notably time-reversal (TRS), particle-hole (PHS), and chiral symmetry, play a fundamental role in determining the topological phases and their classification within the Altland-Zirnbauer scheme. TRS protects gapless surface states in topological insulators, while PHS stabilizes Majorana modes in topological superconductors. Symmetry-protected topology extends this framework by considering partial symmetry breaking, …

A Mathematical Perspective on Recent Cloud-Computing Trends for Scalable and Secure Social-Media Platforms
Abstract: Cloud computing underpins modern social-media platforms by providing elastic compute, storage, and data-processing pipelines capable of absorbing highly bursty workloads. This paper surveys recent cloud-native trends—serverless and event-driven design, container orchestration, edge/CDN offload, streaming analytics, and privacy-enhancing security controls—and formalizes their impact through a compact mathematical model. We express workload volatility using arrival-rate functions, use queueing-based capacity sizing to derive auto-scaling rules, and formulate an optimization objective that balances cost …

Simulation of Sub-synchronous Resonance (SSR), and Mitigation of SSR by Static Synchronous Series Compensator with Lead Lag Compensator
Abstract: This research work presents a narrative method of alleviating the SSR problem using a static synchronous series compensator (SSSC). This method is based on using the SSSC to inject unbalanced series quadrature voltages and unbalanced shunt reactive currents in transmission line just after clearing faults. When the sub-synchronous oscillations drive unsymmetrical phase currents, the developed electromagnetic torque will be lower than the condition when three-phase currents are symmetrical. The unsymmetrical …
