Prioritized-MVBA: A New Approach to Design an Optimal Asynchronous Byzantine Agreement Protocol
The multi-valued byzantine agreement protocol (MVBA) in the authenticated setting has been widely used as a core to design atomic broadcast and fault-tolerant state machine replication protocols in asynchronous networks. Originating from the seminal work of Cachin et al. \cite{CACHIN01}, subsequent research endeavors have sought to optimize protocol efficiency in terms of communication complexity. Notable advancements following Cachin's contributions include: i) VABA \cite{BYZ17}, requiring mul…

SLIFER: Investigating Performance and Robustness of Malware Detection Pipelines
As a result of decades of research, Windows malware detection is approached through a plethora of techniques. However, there is an ongoing mismatch between academia -- which pursues an optimal performances in terms of detection rate and low false alarms -- and the requirements of real-world scenarios. In particular, academia focuses on combining static and dynamic analysis within a single or ensemble of models, falling into several pitfalls like (i) firing dynamic analysis without considering t…

Regularized-Renormalized-Resummed loop corrected power spectrum of non-singular bounce with Primordial Black Hole formation
We present a complete and consistent exposition of the regularization, renormalization, and resummation procedures in the setup of having a contraction and then non-singular bounce followed by inflation with a sharp transition from slow-roll (SR) to ultra-slow roll (USR) phase for generating primordial black holes (PBHs). We consider following an effective field theory (EFT) approach and study the quantum loop corrections to the power spectrum from each phase. We demonstrate the complete remova…

Single-cycle, 643-mW average power THz source based on tilted pulse front in lithium niobate
We present, to the best of our knowledge, the highest average power from a laser-driven single-cycle THz source demonstrated so far, using optical rectification in the titled pulse-front geometry in cryogenically cooled lithium niobate, pumped by a commercially available 500 W ultrafast thin-disk Yb-amplifier. We study repetition rate dependent effects in our setup at 100 kHz and 40 kHz at this high average power, revealing different optimal fluence conditions for efficient conversion. The demo…

Abstract: Twisted transition metal dichalcogenides are a new platform for realizing strongly correlated physics with high tunability. Recent transport experiments have reported the realization of a Mott insulator, its bandwidth-driven evolution to a metal, and the strange metal behavior in proximity to the transition via the tuning of a displacement field in twisted $\mathrm{WSe_2}$($\mathrm{tWSe_2}$) fixed at half filling. However, the nature of the correlated states and the related Mott physics involved in the whole process remain to be determined. Here, we unveil theoretically the evolution of the ground state of the half-filled $\boldsymbol{\mathrm{moir\acute{e}}}$ Hubbard model as applied to $\mathrm{tWSe_2}$, transiting from a pseudogap state with Fermi arcs to a 120$^\circ$ Ne$\boldsymbol{\acute{\mathrm{e}}}$l ordered Mott insulator, then to another pseudogap state with Fermi pockets, and eventually to a Fermi liquid via a Lifshitz transition. The pseudogap phases are definitively identified by the vanishing of quasiparticle weights over an extended region of the free Fermi surface, with the remaining parts forming disconnected Fermi arcs or pockets that contain well-defined quasiparticles. The loss of quasiparticle weights in the pseudogap phases indicates the breakdown of Landau's Fermi liquid theory. We demonstrate that the emergence of the Fermi arcs/pockets results from the electronic structure reconstruction driven by strong electron correlations, marked by the existence of Luttinger surface enclosed by the zeros of single-particle Green's function. This work reveals the fundamental aspects of the Mottness in $\boldsymbol{\mathrm{moir\acute{e}}}$ systems and will stimulate the advance of the direct probes of the Fermi surface and quasiparticles beyond transports, such as angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) experiments.

Trump's Lawyers turn focus to classified documents case after New York verdict
Donald Trump's lawyers are preparing to redirect their focus on the charges that the former president illegally retained classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida,
moving on after Trump was found guilty of 34 felonies in his New York criminal trial last month.
The documents case now stands with singular importance for Trump,
🔸as it is the only case with ongoing procee…

DAG-Plan: Generating Directed Acyclic Dependency Graphs for Dual-Arm Cooperative Planning
Dual-arm robots offer enhanced versatility and efficiency over single-arm counterparts by enabling concurrent manipulation of multiple objects or cooperative execution of tasks using both arms. However, effectively coordinating the two arms for complex long-horizon tasks remains a significant challenge. Existing task planning methods predominantly focus on single-arm robots or rely on predefined bimanual operations, failing to fully leverage the capabilities of dual-arm systems. To address this…

Dimers on Riemann surfaces and compactified free field
We consider the dimer model on a bipartite graph embedded into a locally flat Riemann surface with conical singularities and satisfying certain geometric conditions in the spirit of the work of Chelkak, Laslier and Russkikh, see arXiv:2001.11871. Following the approach developed by Dubédat in his work ["Dimers and families of Cauchy-Riemann operators I". In: J. Amer. Math. Soc. 28 (2015), pp. 1063-1167] we establish the convergence of dimer height fluctuations to the compactified free field in…

Boosting Large-scale Parallel Training Efficiency with C4: A Communication-Driven Approach
The emergence of Large Language Models (LLMs) has necessitated the adoption of parallel training techniques, involving the deployment of thousands of GPUs to train a single model. Unfortunately, we have found that the efficiency of current parallel training is often suboptimal, largely due to the following two main issues. Firstly, hardware failures are inevitable, leading to interruptions in the training tasks. The inability to quickly identify the faulty components results in a substantial wa…
