Tribrid Inflation, Type II Leptogenesis, and Observable Gravitational Waves in $SU(3)_c \times SU(2)_L \times SU(2)_R \times U(1)_{B-L}$
We present a concrete realization of tribrid inflation within the framework of the gauge group $SU(3)_c \times SU(2)_L \times SU(2)_R \times U(1)_{B-L}$. In this model, inflation is driven by the neutral components of left-handed Higgs triplets, which also play a central role in generating the observed baryon asymmetry of the universe via non-thermal leptogenesis. Tiny neutrino masses arise naturally through a type-II seesaw mechanism, facilitated by right-handed triplet fields. Supergravity co…

Mission-Aligned Learning-Informed Control of Autonomous Systems: Formulation and Foundations
Research, innovation and practical capital investment have been increasing rapidly toward the realization of autonomous physical agents. This includes industrial and service robots, unmanned aerial vehicles, embedded control devices, and a number of other realizations of cybernetic/mechatronic implementations of intelligent autonomous devices. In this paper, we consider a stylized version of robotic care, which would normally involve a two-level Reinforcement Learning procedure that trains a po…

Newly released court documents show power utility DTE Energy knowingly contributed $100,000 to a dark money non-profit that helped sabotage Michigangovernor Gretchen Whitmer’s Covid lockdown policies.
The documents contradict previous DTE statements that claimed the utility was not involved with the donation.

Dear Fediverse,

I think we amplified the metal influence on this album compared to the previous ones, which is expected from three metalheads who listen to punk…

DISPROTBENCH: A Disorder-Aware, Task-Rich Benchmark for Evaluating Protein Structure Prediction in Realistic Biological Contexts
Recent advances in protein structure prediction have achieved near-atomic accuracy for well-folded proteins. However, current benchmarks inadequately assess model performance in biologically challenging contexts, especially those involving intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs), limiting their utility in applications such as drug discovery, disease variant interpretation, and protein interface design. We introduce DisProtBench, a comprehensive benchmark for evaluating protein structure predict…

$\text{C}^{2}\text{BNVAE}$: Dual-Conditional Deep Generation of Network Traffic Data for Network Intrusion Detection System Balancing
Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDS) face challenges due to class imbalance, affecting their ability to detect novel and rare attacks. This paper proposes a Dual-Conditional Batch Normalization Variational Autoencoder ($\text{C}^{2}\text{BNVAE}$) for generating balanced and labeled network traffic data. $\text{C}^{2}\text{BNVAE}$ improves the model's adaptability to different data categories and generates realistic category-specific data by incorporating Conditional Batch Normalization (C…

Emulating compact binary population synthesis simulations with robust uncertainty quantification and model comparison: Bayesian normalizing flows
Population synthesis simulations of compact binary coalescences~(CBCs) play a crucial role in extracting astrophysical insights from an ensemble of gravitational wave~(GW) observations. However, realistic simulations are costly to implement for a dense grid of initial conditions. Normalizing flows can emulate the distribution functions of a simulated population of binary parameters and thereby enable empirical constraints on the astrophysical initial conditions and branching fractions of variou…

Neutrino mass generation via the inverse seesaw mechanism in a $U(1)_{B-L}$ gauge extension
We present anomaly-free solutions suitable for an inverse seesaw realization within a $U(1)_{B-L}$ extension. Implementing such a mechanism, in a phenomenologically viable way, requires the inclusion of at least four exotic fermions, assumed to be Standard Model singlets. In order to build anomaly-free models, the $B-L$ charges of these exotic fermions must satisfy two constraint equations, known as the anomaly equations. Here, we focus on solutions involving four to eight new right-handed ferm…
