Alpha-Z divergence unveils further distinct phenotypic traits of human brain connectivity fingerprint
The accurate identification of individuals from functional connectomes (FCs) is critical for advancing individualized assessments in neuropsychiatric research. Traditional methods, such as Pearson's correlation, have limitations in capturing the complex, non-Euclidean geometry of FC data, leading to suboptimal performance in identification performance. Recent developments have introduced geodesic distance as a more robust metric; however, its performance is highly sensitive to regularization ch…

Simple Approximations for General Spanner Problems
Consider a graph with n nodes and m edges, independent edge weights and lengths, and arbitrary distance demands for node pairs. The spanner problem asks for a minimum-weight subgraph that satisfies these demands via sufficiently short paths w.r.t. the edge lengths. For multiplicative alpha-spanners (where demands equal alpha times the original distances) and assuming that each edge's weight equals its length, the simple Greedy heuristic by Althöfer et al. (1993) is known to yield strong soluti…

Computing Periodic Billiard Orbits in $L^p$ Balls via Newton's Method and Smale's $α$-Criterion
We present a computational method for finding and verifying periodic billiard orbits in $L^{p}$ balls ($p>2$) using Newton's method applied to a variational formulation. The orbits are verified with Smale's alpha-criterion, which provides a rigorous certificate of existence. We implement efficient batched computations in JAX and present systematic results for various $p$ and bounce counts $N$. Our experiments reveal striking patterns in the critical-point structure, including a predominance of …

One-loop four-graviton string amplitude at finite $α'$
We evaluate the one-loop four-graviton scattering amplitude in type-II superstring theory exactly in $α'$. This result is achieved by combining physical insights into the $i\varepsilon$ prescription in string theory with a new technical application of the Rademacher expansion of modular integrals. We provide an implementation of our formula in $\texttt{C++}$ and use it to study the behavior of the amplitude at finite $α'$ and in different kinematic regimes.

Variational Quantum Sensing for Structured Linear Function Estimation
We study the variational optimization of entangled probe states for quantum sensing tasks involving the estimation of a structured linear function of local phase parameters. Specifically, we consider scenarios where each qubit in a spin-1/2 array accumulates a phase phi_i = alpha_i * theta, with a known weight vector alpha, reducing the task to single-parameter estimation of theta. Using parameterized quantum circuits composed of dipolar-interacting gates and global rotations, we optimize probe…

Starting from a Hermite-type weight matrix W(x) = exp(-x^2) Z(x) with W(x) = W(-x), the change of variables y = x^2 produces two Laguerre-type weights with parameters alpha = -1/2 and alpha = 1/2, and relates the corresponding sequences of matrix-valued orthogonal polynomials through an explicit decomposition into even and odd subsequences. We prove that this transf…

This allows for a more robust estimation of the so-called $α$-stable spatial measure, which represents the most plausible direction of arrival…

Prototyping of 6.2-mm-Pitch Fiber Positioner Modules for Stage-V Telescope Instrumentation
Small-pitch populated focal planes are a critical enabling technology for the next generation of highly multiplexed astronomical instruments. This work reports on ongoing prototyping activities for 6.2 mm-pitch alpha-beta (theta-phi) fiber positioner modules. Following a concise review of the underlying concept, the performance of trillium-based and independently actuated robotic designs is compared. Key operational parameters including XY positioning repeatability, non-linearity, backlash, and…

And yet projects keep adding a dependency on this library which has a single "pre-alpha" release 3.5 years ago and whose very first bug report points out it's incorrect.

Wide Separation Planets In Time (WISPIT): Discovery of a Gap H$α$ Protoplanet WISPIT 2b with MagAO-X
Excellent (<25 mas) H$_α$ images of the star TYC 5709-354-1 led to the discovery of a rare H$_α$ protoplanet. This star was discovered by the WISPIT survey to have a large multi-ring transitional disk, and is hereafter WISPIT 2. Our H$_α$ images of 2025, April 13 and April 16 discovered an accreting (H$_α$ in emission) protoplanet: WISPIT 2b (r=309.43$\pm$1.56 mas; (~54 au deprojected), PA=242.21$\pm$0.41 degrees) likely clearing a dust-free gap between the two brightest dust rings in the t…

A simple formalization of alpha-equivalence
While teaching untyped $λ$-calculus to undergraduate students, we were wondering why $α$-equivalence is not directly inductively defined. In this paper, we demonstrate that this is indeed feasible. Specifically, we provide a grounded, inductive definition for $α$-equivalence and show that it conforms to the specification provided in the literature. The work presented in this paper is fully formalized in the Rocq Prover.

$\mathbf{O}(D,D)$-Symmetric Box Operator and $α^{\prime}$-Corrections with Riemann Curvature
Within the framework of Double Field Theory, we construct an $\mathbf{O}(D,D)$-symmetric d'Alembertian, or box operator, that is applicable to tensors of arbitrary rank. Parameterized by the Riemannian metric and the $B$-field, the operator naturally incorporates the Riemann curvature tensor and the $H$-flux. When applied to the massless string sector, it produces a consistent stringy wave equation under an $\mathbf{O}(D,D)$-symmetric harmonic gauge condition. Furthermore, the one-loop integral…

Chain-of-Alpha: Unleashing the Power of Large Language Models for Alpha Mining in Quantitative Trading
Alpha factor mining is a fundamental task in quantitative trading, aimed at discovering interpretable signals that can predict asset returns beyond systematic market risk. While traditional methods rely on manual formula design or heuristic search with machine learning, recent advances have leveraged Large Language Models (LLMs) for automated factor discovery. However, existing LLM-based alpha mining approaches remain limited in terms of automation, generality, and efficiency. In this paper, we…

The H$α$ line as a probe of chromospheric magnetic fields
We explore the diagnostic potential of the H$α$ line for probing the chromospheric magnetic field using a realistic 3D radiative magnetohydrodynamic (rMHD) model. The Stokes profiles of the H$α$ line are synthesized through full 3D radiative transfer under the field-free approximation, alongside the Ca II 8542 Å and Fe I 6173 Å lines for comparison. The line-of-sight (LOS) magnetic fields are inferred using the weak field approximation (WFA) for theH$α$ and Ca II 8542 Å lines, while the F…

Three loop master integrals for ${\mathcal{O}} (αα_s^2)$ corrections to quark form factor
We consider the three-loop mixed strong-electroweak (${\mathcal{O}}(αα_s^2)$) corrections to the quark form factor. We compute the master integrals which are appearing in the Feynman diagrams containing a single massive boson in the loop. We use the state-of-the-art method of differential equations to compute all 303 of them, expressing the results in terms of generalized polylogarithms. We encounter multiple square roots that cannot be simultaneously rationalized using a single transformatio…

Modeling of the High Column Density systems in The Lyman-Alpha Forest
The Lyman-alpha forests observed in the spectra of high-redshift quasars can be used as a tracer of the cosmological matter density to study baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) and the Alcock-Paczynski effect. Extraction of cosmological information from these studies requires modeling of the forest correlations. While the models depend most importantly on the bias parameters of the intergalactic medium (IGM), they also depend on the numbers and characteristics of high-column-density systems (HCD…

Effective action of bosonic string theory at order $α'^3$
In this work, we derive the classical effective action of bosonic string theory at order $α'^{3}$ for the metric, Kalb-Ramond field, and dilaton by imposing a higher-derivative extension of the Buscher rules on the circular reduction of the minimal basis at this order, in the schemes where their corresponding actions at order $α'$ are the Meissner and the Metsaev-Tseytlin schemes. We find that T-duality fixes all coupling constants in terms of the known overall factor at order $α'$ and a sin…

Outflows from Star-Forming Galaxies in the Early Universe: Evolution from Double- to Single-Peaked Lyman-$ α$ Profiles Following Delayed Supernova Feedback
Lyman-$ α$ emission, which owing to its resonant nature strongly couples the emergent line profile to gas kinematics, has become a key observable for probing outflows from star-forming galaxies in the early universe. Typically, Lyman-$ α$ profiles are explained in terms of idealised expanding shell models, while empirically-motivated interpretations of Lyman-$ α$ profiles that make use of comparisons with kinematics revealed by other spectral features (e.g. metal emission and absorption line…
