Covering radii of $3$-zonotopes and the shifted Lonely Runner Conjecture
We show that the shifted Lonely Runner Conjecture (sLRC) holds for 5 runners. We also determine that there are exactly 3 primitive tight instances of the conjecture, only two of which are tight for the non-shifted conjecture (LRC). Our proof is computational, relying on a rephrasing of the sLRC in terms of covering radii of certain zonotopes (Henze and Malikiosis, 2017), and on an upper bound for the (integer) velocities to be checked (Malikiosis, Santos and Schymura, 2024+). As a tool for th…

Hubble's Multi-Year Search for Exospheres in the TRAPPIST-1 System Reveals Frequent Microflares
Ly-$α$ observations provide a powerful probe of stellar activity and atmospheric escape in exoplanetary systems. We present here an analysis of 104 HST/STIS orbits monitoring the TRAPPIST-1 system between 2017 and 2022, covering 3--5 transits for each of its seven planets. We rule out transit depths $\gtrsim20\%$, which translates into an upper limit on the escape rate of $1064~EO_H$/Gyr for planet b ($1~EO_H$ is the Earth-ocean-equivalent hydrogen content), in agreement with recent claims tha…

IAPO estimators in Exponentiated Frechet case
In 2017 Jordanova and co-authors consider probabilities for p-outside values, and later on, they use them in order to construct distribution sensitive IPO estimators. These works do not take into account the asymmetry of the distribution. This shortcoming was recently overcome and the corresponding probabilities for asymmetric p-outside values, together with the so-called IAPO estimators, were defined. Here we apply these results to Exponentiated-Frechet distribution, introduced in 2003 by Nada…

In the final talk of the morning sessions of the #SolarEclipse Conference Thoby Dittrich talked about the Modern Eddington Experiment (the website https://moderneddingtonexperiment.org is under heavy construction): the best observing result of gravitational deflection of starlight by the Sun in the optical during solar eclipses is still Brun's from 2017 - https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.00343 - while others have tried with a vengeance since. The goal remains to observe the significant deflection of star positions between 1 and 2 solar radii from the center of the Sun: this is known as the 'forbidden zone' because the corona can be very bright here and only bright stars can be measured reliably - but those in turn are rare. It turns out that the star fields around the totally eclipsed Sun in 2027 and 2028 will be unusually rich in good candidates so there is (or should be) considerable interest in the physics didactics community to make use of these eclipses in southern Spain / northern Africa and Australia, respectively. 4/n

It is not AI that is driving tech layoffs. It’s the massive change in R&D writeoff rules that kicked in for TY2022, from the 2017 Trump tax bill.
The ability to “expense” R&D costs was in place for decades and arguably drove US innovation by making it cheap. Now R&D is amortized over 5 years for US work, 15 years for non-US work. The current reconciliation bill would bring back expensing of domestic R&D costs.

Arthur Ward, my father, was a participant in the D-Day invasion. He was born in Northampton in 1925. He served with the Royal Signals landing in France on D-Day 1 (7th June). His primary task was building a telephone network to support the RAF. In 1995 he wrote an extensive memoir. This blog post contains his recollection of the days before D-Day, at sea, landing and the first few days in France.

Competition Complexity in Multi-Item Auctions: Beyond VCG and Regularity
We quantify the value of the monopoly's bargaining power in terms of competition complexity--that is, the number of additional bidders the monopoly must attract in simple auctions to match the expected revenue of the optimal mechanisms (c.f., Bulow and Klemperer, 1996, Eden et al., 2017)--within the setting of multi-item auctions. We show that for simple auctions that sell items separately, the competition complexity is $Θ(\frac{n}α)$ in an environment with $n$ original bidders under the slig…

On the arithmetic properties of partitions into parts simultaneously $4$-regular and $9$-distinct
In 2017, Keith presented a comprehensive survey on integer partitions into parts that are simultaneously regular, distinct, and/or flat. Recently, the authors initiated a study of partitions into parts that are simultaneously regular and distinct, examining them from both arithmetic and combinatorial perspectives. In particular, several Ramanujan-like congruences were obtained for $\myRD^{(\ell, t)}(n)$, the number of partitions of $n$ into parts that are simultaneously $\ell$-regular and $t$-d…

We study normality of a family of meromorphic functions, whose differential polynomials satisfy a certain condition, which significantly improves and generalizes some recent results of Chen (Filomat, 31(14) 2017, 4665-4671). Moreover, we demonstrate, with the help of examples, that the result is sharp.

Optical Photometric Monitoring of the Blazar OT 355 and Local Standard Stars' Calibration
OT 355 (4FGL J1734.3 + 3858) is a relatively rarely studied but highly variable, moderate-redshift (z = 0.975) flat-spectrum radio quasar (blazar). With this work, we aim to study its optical variability on different timescales, which can help us to better understand the physical processes in relativistic jets operating in blazar-type active galactic nuclei. OT 355 was observed in four colors (BVRI) during 41 nights between 2017 and 2023 using three 1 and 2 m class telescopes. The object was al…

Corporate Non-Disclosure Disputes: equilibrium settlement where increasing legal liability encourages voluntary disclosures
How should a court resolve a shareholder-management dispute after an unexpected price drop, when it is suspected that at an earlier time management chose not to update (disclose to) the market about a material event that was privately observed? An earlier fundamental result in this area (Dye, 2017) has shown that if the court chooses to make public that it will increase awards of damages to try and deter non-disclosure, then this may have the perverse effect that management may rationally choos…

ILC250 Cost Update - 2024
The International Linear Collider was conceived as a global project for an energy-frontier electron-positron collider.It employs superconducting RF and nano-beam technologies with a center-of-mass energy of 500 GeV. Its cost was estimated in 2013, based on the Technical Design Report published in 2013.Japan's high-energy community proposed to host the ILC in Japan as a Higgs boson factory at 250 GeV in its first phase, and a revised cost estimate was conducted in 2017 to host it in Japan.
