Uspol, genocide
In case you're wondering whether "political violence" is escalating in the U.S.A. right now, of *course* it is as we move into an era of concentration campus and domestic military deployments. But both domestic genocides and purges as well as political violence targeted at individual prominent figures has been a *constant* throughout American history, from gun duels fought between political rivals to massacres of Native Americans in order to steal their land, to pogroms against Catholics, to literal wars on local Black success and political participation, all dating back before the American Revolution to the beginning of colonization. Thanks to Wikipedia, here's a *small sampling* where I attempted to whittle things down to about one event per decade before recent times.

Born in 1916, Valentim de Barros was a Portuguese #balletdancer and considered the first from #portugal to build an international career. In 1939, he was deported from Germany. Once in Portuguese territory, he was handed over to the PVDE and held for 3 months and then committed to the Miguel Bombarda psychiatric hospital for homosexuality. In 1949, he was subjected to electroshock therapy and a lobotomy. He was discharged after the Revolution of April 25, 1974, but as he had no family to care …

Mars - The Search Begins (1974): #Mars, including speculation on what form that life might take, many of the core ideas are still current 1/2 century on. The film was made just before NASA's Viking landers were launched in 1975 to begin the search but after the great success of the orbiter Mariner 9 - Olympus Mons was still called Nix Olympica and model makers believed that the sky over the Martian landscape was a deep blue.

Ramsey numbers of trees

Ramsey numbers of trees
We show that there exists a constant $c>0$ such that every $n$-vertex tree $T$ with $Δ(T)\le cn$ has Ramsey number $R(T)=\max\{t_1+2t_2,2t_1\}-1$, where $t_1\ge t_2$ are the sizes of the bipartition classes of $T$. This improves an asymptotic result of Haxell, Łuczak, and Tingley from 2002, and shows that, though Burr's 1974 conjecture on the Ramsey numbers of trees has long been known to be false for certain `double stars', it is true for trees with up to small linear maximum degree.

Searching for the Largest Radio Galaxies
The origins of radio astronomy and the discovery of the first radio galaxies are described which showed that the radio emission of active galaxies is very diverse in shape and can reach a size of many times their optical extent. In 1974 the first "giant" radio galaxy (GRG) was discovered, several times larger than any previously known one. Since 2012, when about 100 such GRGs larger than 1 Megaparsec (3.3 million light years) had been reported in literature, the author is performing his own sea…

On strong solution of a multidimensional SDE: extension of Yamada -- Watanabe's theorem
A new strong uniqueness result for a multidimensional SDE with a non-degenerate diffusion and partially irregular drift is established. It may be regarded as a combined variation on the themes of Yamada \& Watanabe (1971), of Zvonkin (1974), and of the second author of the present paper (1980).

The discretizations of the derivative by the continuous Galerkin and the discontinuous Galerkin methods are exactly the same
In the framework of ODEs, we uncover a new link between the continuous Galerkin method (see Math. Comp. (1972), 26 (118 and 120), 415-426 and 881-891) and the discontinuous Galerkin method (see Mathematical Aspects of Finite elements in PDEs, (1974), 89-123), namely, that the discretizations of the derivative by these two methods are the same. A direct consequence of this result is the construction of a new elementwise post-processing of the approximate solution provided by the Discontinuous Ga…

Degree sequences realizing labelled perfect matchings

Degree sequences realizing labelled perfect matchings
Let $n\in \mathbb{N}$ and $d_1 \geq d_2 \geq d_n\geq 1$ be integers. There is characterization of when $(d_1, d_1, \ldots, d_n)$ is the degree sequence of a graph containing a perfect matching, due to results of Lovász (1974) and Erdős and Gallai (1960). But \emph{which} perfect matchings can be realized in the labelled graph? Here we find the extremal answers to this question, showing that the sequence $(d_1, d_2, \ldots, d_n)$: (1) can realize a perfect matching iff it can realize $\{(1, n)…

Good Morning #Canada
#HappyBirthday to Milan Chvostek (October 4, 1932 – November 8, 2018) was a producer/director at the CBC. He worked on A Case for the Court, The Lively Arts, This Hour Has Seven Days, Science Magazine and the CBC's flagship show The Nature of Things,[ which has aired in nearly fifty countries worldwide. Awards for Chvostek's shows include one from the Monte Carlo Television Festival awarded by Prince Rainier III in 1975, and the Bell Northern Research Communications Award for science programming from the Canadian Science Writers' Association (Chvostek is the only three-time winner of this award) in 1974 and 1975. After a decade of teaching television broadcast at Seneca College, Toronto (1986 to 1996), he embarked upon a freelance videography and photography career, working both independently and in partnership with his wife, journalist Isobel Warren. He also started researching climate change in the 1960s.

Longest odd cycles in non-bipartite $C_{2k 1}$-free graphs

https://arxiv.org/abs/2508.16199 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2508.16199

Longest odd cycles in non-bipartite $C_{2k+1}$-free graphs
In strengthening a result of Andrásfai, Erdős and Sós in 1974, Häggkvist proved that if $G$ is an $n$-vertex $C_{2k+1}$-free graph with minimum degree $δ(G)>\frac{2n}{2k+3}$ and $n>\binom{k+2}{2}(2k+3)(3k+2)$, then $G$ contains no odd cycle of length greater than $\frac{k+1}{2}$. This result has many applications.In this paper, we consider a similar problem by replacing minimum degree condition with edge number condition. We prove that for integers $n,k,r$ with $k\geq 2,3\leq r\leq 2k$ and…

Characterisations and Structural Properties of Pure n-Simplicial Trees
This paper extends the concept of trees in graphs to the context of pure n-simplicial complexes by generalising the notion of paths and cycles (in graphs). We introduce and study these higher-dimensional analogues of trees known as pure n-simplicial trees. Our main result is to establish the equivalence between pure n-simplicial trees and the (m, n)-trees introduced by Dewdney in 1974 when m = n - 1, thereby extending and improving his original characterisation. We also disprove two conjectures…
