Symmetric $(2^k-1,2^{k-1},2^{k-2})$-designs which are $(2^{k-1}-1)$-pyramidal over abelian groups
A design is called $t$-pyramidal when it has an automorphism group which fixes $t$ points and acts sharply transitively on the remaining points. We determine all symmetric $(2^k-1,2^{k-1},2^{k-2})$-designs which are $(2^{k-1}-1)$-pyramidal over abelian groups.

Greenberg's conjecture and Inverse Galois problem: metacyclic-nonmodular group of type 1 whose abelianization is $\mathbb{Z}/2 \mathbb{Z}\times\mathbb{Z}/2^m \mathbb{Z}$, $m\geq 2$
For an integer $m\geq 2$, we aim to investigate the realizability of types of metacyclic-nonmodular groups, whose abelianization is $\mathbb{Z}/2 \mathbb{Z}\times\mathbb{Z}/2^m \mathbb{Z}$, as the Galois group of the maximal unramified $2$-extension (resp. pro-$2$-extension) of certain number fields of $2$-power degree (resp. cyclotomic $\mathbb Z_2$-extensions). Furthermore, we show up some new techniques for studying Greenberg's conjecture for some number fields. In particular, the reader c…

Rational material design by elemental substitution is useful in tailoring materials to have desirable properties.

In all three schemes, single-phase compounds can be obtained over a wide range …

Roles of $U(1)$ axial anomaly effects in cold and dense two-color QCD with $2+2$ flavors
We explore phase structures and hadron mass spectra in cold and dense two-color QCD with $2+2$ flavors where the sign problem disappears. We particularly focus on $U(1)$ axial anomaly effects. We employ an $N_f=2+2$ linear sigma model based on the $SU(8)$ Pauli-Gürsey symmetry to describe negative-parity as well as positive-parity hadrons, for which low-energy excitations are appropriately described particularly in the baryon superfluid phase with light diquark condensates.

Is ozone a reliable proxy for molecular oxygen? III. The impact of CH$_4$ on the O$_2$-O$_3$ relationship for Earth-like atmospheres
In the search for life in the Universe, molecular oxygen (O$_2$) combined with a reducing species, such as methane (CH$_4$), is considered a promising disequilibrium biosignature. In cases where it would be difficult or impossible to detect O$_2$ (e.g., mid-IR or low O$_2$ levels), it has been suggested that ozone (O$_3$), the photochemical product of O$_2$, could be used as a proxy for determining the abundance of O$_2$. As the O$_2$-O$_3$ relationship is nonlinear, the goal of this series of …

Class numbers and invariant characters of $\mathfrak{sl}_2(\mathbb{F}_p)$

Around 1928, Hecke proved that if $p>3$ and $p\equiv 3\mod 4$, then the class number of $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-p})$ is equal to the difference between the multiplicities of two particular irreducible representations of $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{F}_p)$ in $S_2(Γ(p))$.

Moreover, for the case $d=4$, we derive an explicit monodromy factorization of the genus $3$ holomorphic Lefschetz pencil on $\mathbb{C}P^2$ based on the braid monodromy technique and prove that it…

A Generalized $χ_n$-Function
The mapping $χ_n$ from $\F_{2}^{n}$ to itself defined by $y=χ_n(x)$ with $y_i=x_i+x_{i+2}(1+x_{i+1})$, where the indices are computed modulo $n$, has been widely studied for its applications in lightweight cryptography. However, $χ_n $ is bijective on $\F_2^n$ only when $n$ is odd, restricting its use to odd-dimensional vector spaces over $\F_2$. To address this limitation, we introduce and analyze the generalized mapping $χ_{n, m}$ defined by $y=χ_{n,m}(x)$ with $y_i=x_i+x_{i+m} (x_{i+m-1…

We also show how a cocycle can locally modify the Fisher metric on a coadjoint orbit, in explicit terms of brackets and central e…

Optimal Repair of $(k+2, k, 2)$ MDS Array Codes
Maximum distance separable (MDS) codes are widely used in distributed storage systems as they provide optimal fault tolerance for a given amount of storage overhead. The seminal work of Dimakis~\emph{et al.} first established a lower bound on the repair bandwidth for a single failed node of MDS codes, known as the \emph{cut-set bound}. MDS codes that achieve this bound are called minimum storage regenerating (MSR) codes. Numerous constructions and theoretical analyses of MSR codes reveal that…

On Weil Polynomials of Hyperelliptic Curves over Finite Fields of Characteristic 2
We present new conditions which obstruct the existence of hyperelliptic Jacobians in isogeny classes of abelian varieties over finite fields of characteristic 2. We show that Weil polynomials of Jacobians cannot have coefficients in certain residue classes modulo 2, extending the approach of Costa et al. in arXiv:2002.02067. We prove that for 3- and 4-dimensional abelian varieties over $\mathbb{F}_{2^n}$, as $n \rightarrow\infty$, the parities of the Weil coefficients asymptotically equidistrib…

Super-Solid phase in a U(2) symmetric S = 1 Magnet on the Triangular Lattice
A spin supersolid is characterized by the simultaneous breaking of lattice translation and continuous spin rotation symmetries. In this work, we study a spin-1 model with $U(2)\cong SU(2)\times U(1)/Z_2$ symmetry on the triangular lattice, and the phase diagram is figured out using a variational $\mathbb CP^2$ approach. We identify a novel $SU(2)$-supersolid phase which contains a 3-sublattice solid order and a spin-superfluid order. Unlike usual supersolid phases having noncollinear magnetic o…

Scientists found the missing nutrients bees need — Colonies grew 15-fold
Scientists have developed a breakthrough food supplement that could help save honeybees from devastating declines. By engineering yeast to produce six essential sterols found in pollen, researchers provided bees with a nutritionally complete diet that boosted reproduction up to 15-fold. Unlike commercial substitutes that lack key nutrients, this supplement mimics natural pollen’s sterol profile, giving bees the equivalent of a balanced diet.

Trump tariffs bring chaos, as shipments halted from Europe, Asia https://cdm.link/trump-de-minimis-chaos/

Trump tariffs bring chaos, as shipments halted from Europe, Asia - CDM Create Digital Music
The Trump administration's trade policies do more than increase costs for US consumers. Their historic scale and disorganized rollout are causing global disruptions. That hurts independent music gear makers and label owners. It's also ironically likely to cripple manufacturers trying to work in the USA. The only (sort of) good news: shippers and exporters are trying to find solutions, and at least some of the disruptions should be temporary. But those solutions won't come free.
