Elliptic curves over Hasse pairs
We call a pair of distinct prime powers $(q_1,q_2) = (p_1^{a_1},p_2^{a_2})$ a Hasse pair if $|\sqrt{q_1}-\sqrt{q_2}| \leq 1$. For such pairs, we study the relation between the set $\mathcal{E}_1$ of isomorphism classes of elliptic curves defined over $\mathbb{F}_{q_1}$ with $q_2$ points, and the set $\mathcal{E}_2$ of isomorphism classes of elliptic curves over $\mathbb{F}_{q_2}$ with $q_1$ points. When both families $\mathcal{E}_i$ contain only ordinary elliptic curves, we prove that…

The behavior of higher proof theory I: Case $Σ^1_2$
The current ordinal analysis provides the proof-theoretic ordinal of a theory, which calibrates the robustness of the $Π^1_1$-consequences of the theory. We can ask whether there is an ordinal characteristic capturing more complex consequences, and it turns out that we can define the $Σ^1_2$-proof-theoretic ordinal capturing the robustness of the $Σ^1_2$-consequences of a theory. In this paper, we study the behavior of $Σ^1_2$-proof-theoretic ordinal, and it turns out that $Σ^1_2$-proof-th…

Both 22nd Street and 20th Avenue are essential bicycle routes in San Francisco. Both intersect with major streets. Both go through vibrant neighborhoods. But 22nd Street does not have equitable bicycle infrastructure — for example, green bike boxes at signalized intersections. 20th Avenue has them. 22nd Street does not. Green paint isn’t everything, but people on 22nd Street in the Mission should enjoy the same safety features as other parts of the city (or better!). Bike boxes at all signalized intersections would be a start, and they’d indicate to drivers which streets are meant to be bike routes. Let’s make it happen.

The structural analogue of iron-based superconductors the BaMn$_2$P$_2$ and BaMn$_2$As$_2$ compounds under hydrostatic pressure upto 140 GPa were studied within the framework of DFT+U. The transition from an antiferromagnetic (AFM) insulator to an antiferromagnetic metal is observed under pressure of 6.4 GPa for BaMn$_2$P$_2$ and 8.3 GPa for BaMn$_2$As$_2$. This second order phase transition to the AFM metallic state provides an appropriate normal state for possible superconductivity in these m…

Bounding Shortest Closed Geodesics with Diameter on compact 2-dimensional Orbifolds Homeomorphic to $S^2$
Length bounded sweepouts give a way to bound the length of the shortest closed geodesic of a closed manifold. In this paper, we generalized to the case of compact 2-dimensional orbifolds homeomorphic to $S^2$ as well as compact 2-dimensional orbifolds with finite orbifold fundamental groups. We proved an inequality for the length of the shortest closed orbifold geodesic in terms of the diameter.

The key ingredient is the notion of Baker-Akhiezer divisors associated to Higgs bundles and choices of subbundles of the underlying rank-2 b…

We give an example of a Cayley graph $Γ$ for the group $F_{2}\times F_{2}$ which is not minimally almost convex (MAC). On the other hand, the standard Cayley graph for $F_{2}\times F_{2}$ does satisfy the falsification by fellow traveler property (FFTP), which is strictly stronger. As a result, any Cayley graph property $K$ lying between FFTP and MAC (i.e., $\text{FFTP}\Rightarrow K\Rightarrow\text{MAC}$) is dependent on the generating set.

An algebraic characterization of binary CSS-T codes and cyclic CSS-T codes for quantum fault tolerance
CSS-T codes were recently introduced as quantum error-correcting codes that respect a transversal gate. A CSS-T code depends on a CSS-T pair, which is a pair of binary codes $(C_1, C_2)$ such that $C_1$ contains $C_2$, $C_2$ is even, and the shortening of the dual of $C_1$ with respect to the support of each codeword of $C_2$ is self-dual. In this paper, we give new conditions to guarantee that a pair of binary codes $(C_1, C_2)$ is a CSS-T pair. We define the poset of CSS-T pairs and determine…

Classification of width 1 lattice tetrahedra by their multi-width
We introduce the multi-width of a lattice polytope and use this to classify and count all lattice tetrahedra with multi-width $(1,w_2,w_3)$. The approach used in this classification can be extended into a computer algorithm to classify lattice tetrahedra of any given multi-width. We use this to classify tetrahedra with multi-width $(2,w_2,w_3)$ for small $w_2$ and $w_3$ and make conjectures about the function counting lattice tetrahedra of any multi-width.

Inhomogeneous SU(2) gluon matter under rotation
In this work a rotating SU(2) gluon system have been studied with the dyon ensemble in dilute limit. By solving the rotation-modified Yang-Mills equation we have obtained rotational corrections to the so-called dyon solutions with arbitrary centers to $\mathcal{O}(ω^2)$ order and the corresponding semi-classical potential. The radial position dependent deconfinement temperature have been obtained by minimizing the semi-classical potential in both real and imaginary angular velocity cases. Alth…

In the large torus limit, we observe a concentration phenomenon of the $Φ^3_2$-measure around zero, which is the single minimizer of the corresponding Hamiltonian for any fixed torus size. From our sharp estimates for the partition function, we obtain a triviality result for the $Φ^3_2$-measure o…

Home Prices Are Falling in 3 Texas Metros and Portland, Oregon as High Rates Cool Demand for the Former Hotspots
Prices are down 3% in Austin, TX, more than any other metro, as near-record housing costs push homebuyers away. Nationwide, price drops are at their highest level since November 2022, suggesting more metros may soon see sale prices decline.

Unification with Simple Variable Restrictions and Admissibility of $Π_{2}$-rules
We develop a method to recognize admissibility of $Π_{2}$-rules, relating this problem to a specific instance of the unification problem with linear constants restriction, called here "unification with simple variable restriction". It is shown that for logical systems enjoying an appropriate algebraic semantics and a finite approximation of left uniform interpolation, this unification with simple variable restriction can be reduced to standard unification. As a corollary, we obtain the decidab…

Cooperative CO$_2$ capture via oxalate formation on metal-decorated graphene
CO$_2$ capture using carbon-based materials, particularly graphene and graphene-like materials, is a promising strategy to deal with CO$_2$ emissions. However, significant gaps remain in our understanding of the molecular-level interaction between CO$_2$ molecules and graphene, particularly, in terms of chemical bonding and electron transfer. In this work, we employ random structure search and density functional theory to understand the adsorption of CO$_2$ molecules on Ca, Sr, Na, K, and Ti de…

Topological Phases in Half-Integer Higher Spin $J_1$-$J_2$ Heisenberg Chains
We study the ground state properties of antiferromagnetic $J_1$-$J_2$ chains with half-integer spins ranging from $S=\frac{3}{2}$ to $S=\frac{11}{2}$ using the density-matrix renormalization group method. We map out the ground-state phase diagrams as a function of $\frac{J_2}{J_1}$ containing topological phases with alternating $\frac{2S-1}{2}$ and $\frac{2S+1}{2}$ valence bonds. We identify these topological phases and their boundaries by calculating the string order parameter, the dimer order…

Notes from the May 2024 Employment Report
- The U.S. economy added 272,000 jobs during May, the 41th straight month of gains, defying signs of a slowdown and smashing economists’ expectations.
- The unemployment rate rose slightly to 4.0%, although remained near 50-year lows. The rate has remained below 4% for more than two years.
- Both the labor force participation rate and the employment-population ratio were little changed.

Curvature bounds for the spectrum of closed Einstein spaces and Simon conjecture
Let $(M^{n}, g)$ be a closed connected Einstein space, $n=dim M ,$ and $κ_{0} $ be the lower bound of the sectional curvature. In this paper, we prove Udo Simon's conjecture: on closed Einstein spaces, $n\geq 3,$ there is no eigenvalue $λ$ such that $$nκ_{0} < λ< 2(n + 1)κ_{0},$$ and both bounds are the best possible. Furthermore, we develop Simon's conjecture to the next gap of eigenvalue $λ:$ on closed Einstein spaces, there is no $λ$ such that $$ 2(n + 1)κ_{0}< λ< 2(n+2)κ_{0}, $$…

Coulomb Branch Operator Algebras and Universal Selection Rules for $\mathcal{N}=2$ SCFTs
Coulomb branches of vacua are the most universal moduli spaces that arise in local unitary interacting 4d $\mathcal{N}=2$ superconformal field theories (SCFTs). In these theories, $1/2$-BPS primaries parameterize the Coulomb branches and form (anti-)chiral rings. We define the notion of a Coulomb branch operator algebra, $\mathcal{A}_{\mathcal{C}}$, that contains these chiral and anti-chiral rings along with infinitely many more operators and products that are less protected by supersymmetry. U…

Saturation of $k$-chains in the Boolean lattice
Given a set $X$, a collection $\mathcal{F} \subset \mathcal{P}(X)$ is said to be $k$-Sperner if it does not contain a chain of length $k+1$ under set inclusion and it is saturated if it is maximal with respect to this probability. Gerbner et al. proved that the smallest saturated $k$-Sperner system contains at least $2^{k/2-1}$ elements, and later, Morrison, Noel, and Scott showed that the smallest such set contains no more than $2^{0.976723k}$ elements. We improve both the upper and lower boun…

Positive density for consecutive runs of sums of two squares
We study the distribution of consecutive sums of two squares in arithmetic progressions. We show that for any odd squarefree modulus $q$, any two reduced congruence classes $a_1$ and $a_2$ mod $q$, and any $r_1,r_2 \ge 1$, a positive density of sums of two squares begin a chain of $r_1$ consecutive sums of two squares, all of which are $a_1$ mod $q$, followed immediately by a chain of $r_2$ consecutive sums of two squares, all of which are $a_2$ mod $q$. This is an analog of the result of Mayna…

Judge rather than jury will render verdict in upcoming antitrust trial
A judge rather than a jury will decide whether Google violated federal antitrust laws by building a monopoly on the technology that powers online advertising. The decision Friday by U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema was a defeat for the Justice Department, which sought a jury trial when it filed the case last year in federal court in Alexandria, Virginia. Google said the case is highly technical and better decided by a judge. Google also argued that the constitutional right to a jury trial do…

Exploiting polarization dependence in two dimensional coherent spectroscopy: examples of Ce$_2$Zr$_2$O$_7$ and Nd$_2$Zr$_2$O$_7$
Two dimensional coherent spectroscopy (2DCS) probes the nonlinear optical response of correlated systems. An interesting application is the study of fractionalized excitations, which are challenging to distinguish unambiguously in linear response. Here we demonstrate how the sensitivity of optical matrix elements to variations in the photon polarization allows one to probe different aspects of low lying excitations in models of the candidate fractionalized materials Ce$_2$Zr$_2$O$_7$ and Nd$_2$…

Strength of Kitaev Interaction in Na$_3$Co$_2$SbO$_6$ and Na$_3$Ni$_2$BiO$_6$
Kitaev spin liquid is proposed to be promisingly realized in low spin-orbit coupling $3d$ systems, represented by Na$_3$Co$_2$SbO$_6$ and Na$_3$Ni$_2$BiO$_6$. However, the existence of Kitaev interaction is still debatable among experiments, and obtaining the strength of Kitaev interaction from first-principles calculations is also challenging. Here, we report the state-dependent anisotropy of Kitaev interaction, based on which a convenient method is developed to rapidly determine the strength …
