Four documents, the same five questions.

No throughput league table and no yield. The cells are what this library is willing to say about the text.

QuestionDeconstructing the Blockchain to Approach Physical Limits
What the text proposesBitcoin uses one chain for three jobs: proposing transactions, voting on history, and ordering the result. Prism splits those jobs onto separate block trees so throughput can approach network capacity while confirmation tracks propagation delay.
Who may writeVivek Bagaria, Sreeram Kannan, David Tse, Giulia Fanti and Pramod Viswanath
What is settledProposer blocks carry transactions.
Load-bearing assumptionSplitting the chains does not remove mining. It reassigns what a mined block means.
What this library says afterwardsPhysical limits in the paper are network capacity and delay, not a token's market throughput.
