#arXiv Spacetime Quasicrystals arxiv.org/abs/2601.07769 the first examples of such Lorentzian quasicrystals (the spacetime analogues of the Penrose or Ammann-Beenker tilings), and the novel features of these structures (compared to their Euclidean cousins).
"An error in the arguments invalidating their main theorem on the stability of the 2HDM potential. This is the first non-trivial error in a physics paper found through formalization. How many physics papers would not pass this higher level of scrutiny?"
