I love the fact that switching out a failing SSD just involved formatting the new SSD, copying the files over via `rsync`, powering off the computer, and swapping the new SSD in for the old one. I did have to make a minor tweak to the `fstab` because I decided to go with XFS, but the down time for the computer was only for as long as it took me to get the SSD swapped in.

Legendrian doubles, twist spuns, and clusters

Legendrian doubles, twist spuns, and clusters
Let $λ$ be a Legendrian link in standard contact $\mathbb{R}^3$, such that $L_1$, $L_2$ are two exact fillings of $λ$ and $φ$ is a Legendrian loop of $λ$. We study fillability and isotopy characterizations of Legendrian surfaces in standard contact $\mathbb{R}^5$ built from the above data by doubling or twist spinning; denoting them $Λ(L_1,L_2)$ or $Σ_φ(λ)$ respectively. In the case of doubles $Λ(L_1,L_2)$, if the sheaf moduli $\mathcal{M}_1(λ)$ admits a cluster structure, we introduc…

On Gy\'arf\'as' Path-Colour Problem

On Gyárfás' Path-Colour Problem
In their 1997 paper titled ``Fruit Salad", Gyárfás posed the following conjecture: there exists a constant $k$ such that if each path of a graph spans a $3$-colourable subgraph, then the graph is $k$-colourable. It is noted that $k=4$ might suffice. Let $r(G)$ be the maximum chromatic number of any subgraph $H$ of $G$ where $H$ is spanned by a path. The only progress on this conjecture comes from Randerath and Schiermeyer in 2002, who proved that if $G$ is an $n$ vertex graph, then $χ(G) \le…

Electrically-gated laser-induced spin dynamics in magneto-electric iron garnet at room temperature

Electrically-gated laser-induced spin dynamics in magneto-electric iron garnet at room temperature
Ultrafast pump-probe imaging reveals that the efficiency of optical excitation of coherent spins waves in epitaxial iron garnet films can be effectively controlled by an external electric field at room temperature. Although a femtosecond laser pulse alone does not excite any pronounced coherent spin oscillations, an electrical gating with the field of 0.5 MV/m dramatically changes the outcome in a laser-induced launching of spin waves. The effect, demonstrated under room-temperature conditions,…

I should start making some offline notes why I follow some users...cause if you follow like 200 people it may not be that important to retain why you followed them...
Also some you had really good reasons for following, others you just wanted to get a little more...

Warner Bros Discovery CEO David Zaslav Pay to Drop After Company Split
WBD CEO David Zaslav will see his pay package take a haircut after the proposed separation of Warner Bros. Discovery in 2026. The company granted him $225 million in stock option awards.

Part of the reason I create guilds with "fediverse" and "mastodon" is pretty much about "flying the flag" but except that...
Neither Mastodon nor Fediverse are part as any names chosen in guilds in Albion.
Albion West:
Fediv = no result
Mastodon = results yes but irrelevant?
Albion EU
Fediv = only my guild
Masto = my guild was the only relevant result
Albion Asia
Fedi = only my guild relevant
masto = same
