L.A. County leaders to weigh legal action following violent ICE arrests
Citing a recent arrest by immigration agents that bloodied a man in the unincorporated area of Valinda,
Los Angeles County Supervisor Hilda Solis said she wants the county to explore a legal counterattack against what she described as the federal government’s “unconstitutional immigration enforcement practices.”
In a statement Saturday, Solis said that she plans to co-sponsor a motion at Tuesday’s Boar…

On the Farrell--Tate $K$-theory of $\text{Out}(F_n)$
Using Lück's Chern character isomorphism we obtain a general formula in terms of centralisers for the $p$-adic Farrell--Tate $K$-theory of any discrete group $G$ with a finite classifying space for proper actions. We apply this formula to $\text{Out}(F_n)$. The case $n=p+1$ turns out to be especially interesting for the following reason: Up to conjugacy there is exactly one order $p$ element in $\text{Out}(F_{p+1})$ which does not lift to an order $p$ element in $\text{Aut}(F_{p+1})$. We compu…

On the PI-exponent of matrix algebras and algebras with generalized actions
We compute the PI-exponent of the matrix ring with coefficients in an associative algebra. As a consequence, we prove the following. Let $\mathcal{R}$ be a PI-algebra with a positive PI-exponent. If $M_n(\mathcal{R})$ and $M_m(\mathcal{R})$ satisfy the same set of polynomial identities then $n=m$. We provide examples where this result fails if either $\mathcal{R}$ is not PI or has zero exponent. We obtain the same statement for certain finite-dimensional algebras with generalized action over an…

NATO boss Rutte (fmr Dutch PM) sends app to Trump, who promptly publishes it.
"Wow, your bombing of Iran was great; it makes the world a safer place!"
Straight from The Hague, formerly known as the International City of Peace and Justice. Awkward.

Why use hyperlinking if you can create videos recording screens recording screens, just to be able to document other people documenting your own work. The modern internet is just sooo amazing!

Join Andrew Musselman and Trevor Grant as they present the latest developments in Mahout's new quantum compute layer, Qumat. They will provide an overview of the project, explain why Qumat was developed, and demonstrate its current capabilities. They will also present a demo of Qumat in action and conclude with calls to action for researchers and engineers who are interested in using and contributing to the project.

Trump’s sudden announcement Saturday night that he bombed three Iranian nuclear sites has Republican skeptics of U.S. military action against Iran largely falling in line.
The prospect of strikes against Iran had sparked backlash from Democrats and days of infighting within Trump’s MAGA coalition
But after the president posted on Truth Social that the U.S. has bombed Iran,
several GOP critics cheered the strikes as a "limited action".
Several top Democrats …

Apache Flink is uniquely positioned to serve as the backbone for AI agents, equipping them with the powerful new tool of stream processing. Join Steffen Hoellinger at this year's Berlin Buzzwords to explore how Flink jobs can be transformed into “Agents”—autonomous, goal-driven entities that dynamically interact with data streams, trigger actions, and adapt their behaviour based on real-time insights.
