Training for Obsolescence? The AI-Driven Education Trap
Artificial intelligence simultaneously transforms human capital production in schools and its demand in labor markets. Analyzing these effects in isolation can lead to a significant misallocation of educational resources. We model an educational planner whose decision to adopt AI is driven by its teaching productivity, failing to internalize AI's future wage-suppressing effect on those same skills. Our core assumption, motivated by a pilot survey, is that there is a positive correlation between…

CAI Fluency: A Framework for Cybersecurity AI Fluency
This work introduces CAI Fluency, an an educational platform of the Cybersecurity AI (CAI) framework dedicated to democratizing the knowledge and application of cybersecurity AI tools in the global security community. The main objective of the CAI framework is to accelerate the widespread adoption and effective use of artificial intelligence-based cybersecurity solutions, pathing the way to vibe-hacking, the cybersecurity analogon to vibe-coding. CAI Fluency builds upon the Framework for AI F…

The hidden subgroup problem for infinite groups
Following the example of Shor's algorithm for period-finding in the integers, we explore the hidden subgroup problem (HSP) for discrete infinite groups. On the hardness side, we show that HSP is NP-hard for the additive group of rational numbers, and for normal subgroups of non-abelian free groups. We also indirectly reduce a version of the short vector problem to HSP in $\mathbb{Z}^k$ with pseudo-polynomial query cost. On the algorithm side, we generalize the Shor-Kitaev algorithm for HSP in $…

Mathematics education research must be useful for the classroom
The theme of the PME-48 conference, Making sure that mathematics education research reaches the classroom, highlights a key concern: not all mathematics education research informs classroom practice. This raises several fundamental questions: Which research fails to reach the classroom? Why? And should all research be expected to do so? Accordingly, it is fitting that the plenary panel engages with these important issues by debating the following motion: Mathematics education research must be u…

EduThink4AI: Translating Educational Critical Thinking into Multi-Agent LLM Systems
Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated significant potential as educational tutoring agents, capable of tailoring hints, orchestrating lessons, and grading with near-human finesse across various academic domains. However, current LLM-based educational systems exhibit critical limitations in promoting genuine critical thinking, failing on over one-third of multi-hop questions with counterfactual premises, and remaining vulnerable to adversarial prompts that trigger biased or factually in…

Solid-State Dewetting of Polycrystalline Thin Films: a Phase Field Approach
Solid-state dewetting (SSD) is the process by which thin solid films break up and retract on a substrate, resulting in the formation of nanostructures and islands. While SSD in single-crystalline films is generally understood as a surface-energy-driven process mediated by surface diffusion, polycrystalline films feature additional complexity due to the presence of grain boundaries. Theoretical investigations and simulation frameworks have mainly focused on single-crystalline SSD. In this work, …
