When Symmetry Breaks the Rules: From Askey–Wilson Polynomials to Functions
2026-02-25
Researchers Tom Koornwinder (U. Amsterdam) and Marta Mazzocco (ICREA-UPC-CRM) published a paper in Indagationes Mathematicae exploring DAHA symmetries. Their work shows that these symmetries shift Askey–Wilson polynomials into a continuous functional setting,and introduce an explicit decomposition of the non‑symmetric Askey–Wilson function into symmetric and anti‑symmetric parts. This work offers new structural insight into how certain […]

Beyond Einstein: New equations to build the complete history of black holes 2026-02-25A researcher from the Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia (IAA-CSIC) has developed a new theoretical framework to describe the behavior of the interior of spherically symmetric black holes. The work, published in Nature Communications, introduces a set of equations that allow overcoming the singularities predicted by general relativity. Go to Source
If We Want to Encourage Scientific Thinking, It Is Better to Educate than to Reward
2026-02-25
Research carried out by Aranzazu Vinas (University of the Basque Country), Helena Matute (University of Deusto, Bilbao), and Fernando Blanco (CIMCyC – University of Granada) shows that financial incentives are not always effective. If we want to develop scientific thinking, it is better to give a simple explanation than to offer a financial reward.Seguir leyendo […]
