The link directionality connecting nodes in the PSI network depends on the energy levels of the connected chromophores. The…

Will Musicians Ever Rule the World?

The propaganda is so wild. When I was younger, they'd lie about things 20-30 years prior, with the assumption that people will have forgotten. Now they are constantly attempting to rewrite history that happened a mere 5 years ago, thinking that they're slick.
To quote Orwell: "The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."

Expressive Power of Graph Transformers via Logic
Transformers are the basis of modern large language models, but relatively little is known about their precise expressive power on graphs. We study the expressive power of graph transformers (GTs) by Dwivedi and Bresson (2020) and GPS-networks by Rampásek et al. (2022), both under soft-attention and average hard-attention. Our study covers two scenarios: the theoretical setting with real numbers and the more practical case with floats. With reals, we show that in restriction to vertex properti…

When is String Reconstruction using de Bruijn Graphs Hard?
The reduction of the fragment assembly problem to (variations of) the classical Eulerian trail problem [Pevzner et al., PNAS 2001] has led to remarkable progress in genome assembly. This reduction employs the notion of de Bruijn graph $G=(V,E)$ of order $k$ over an alphabet $Σ$. A single Eulerian trail in $G$ represents a candidate genome reconstruction. Bernardini et al. have also introduced the complementary idea in data privacy [ALENEX 2020] based on $z$-anonymity. The pressing question i…

Hopf-Galois structures on separable field extensions of degree related to Cunningham chains
The past few years have seen Hopf--Galois structures on extensions of squarefree degree studied in various contexts. The Galois case was fully explored by Alabdali and Byott in 2020, followed by a first attempt at generalising these results to include non-normal extensions by Byott and Martin-Lyons; their work looks at separable extensions of degree $pq$ with $p,q$ distinct odd primes, and $p=2q+1$. This paper extends the latter work further by considering separable extensions of squarefree deg…

Superpolynomial convergence in the Riemann Rearrangement Theorem

https://arxiv.org/abs/2508.02489 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2508.02489

Superpolynomial convergence in the Riemann Rearrangement Theorem
Let $x \in \mathbb{R}$ be arbitrary and consider the `greedy' approximation of $x$ by signed harmonic sums: given $a_n = \sum_{k \leq n} \varepsilon_k/k$ with $\varepsilon_k \in \left\{-1,1\right\}$, we set $\varepsilon_{n+1} = 1$ if $a_n \leq x$ and $\varepsilon_{n+1} = -1$ otherwise. Bettin-Molteni-Sanna showed (Adv. Math. 2020) that this procedure has remarkable approximation properties: for almost all $x \in \mathbb{R}$ one has superpolynomial convergence in the sense that for every $k \in …

The parabolic Dirichlet problem with continuous and Hölder boundary data, and rough coefficients
We provide very mild sufficient conditions for space-time domains (non-necessarily cylindrical) which ensure that the continuous Dirichlet problem and the Hölder Dirichlet problem are well-posed, for any parabolic operator in divergence form with merely bounded coefficients. Concretely, we show that the parabolic measure exists, even for unbounded domains, hence solving an open problem posed by Genschaw and Hofmann (2020). This problem has inherent difficulties because of its parabolic natur…

Prediction of sulphate hazes in the lower Venus atmosphere
We study the amount, size distribution and material composition of (sub-)mic aerosol particles in the lower Venus atmosphere < 50 km. Our GGchem phase-equilibrium model predicts metal-chloride and metal-fluoride molecules to be present in the gas over the Venus surface in trace concentrations < 2.E-12, in particular FeCl2, NaCl, KCl and SiF4. Using an improved version of the DiffuDrift model developed by Woitke et al.2020, we find that these molecules deposit to form solid potassium sulphate K2…

Unintended Consequences of Early Driving Access: Evidence from Graduated Driver Licensing Policies and Adolescent Health Outcomes
Graduated driver licensing systems effectively reduce adolescent traffic fatalities but create unintended health consequences. Using state-level variation in licensing policies from 1999-2020 and difference-in-differences analysis, we provide the first causal evidence that early driving access generates significant health risks for female adolescents aged 15-19. States allowing learner's permits before age 16 experienced sharp increases in drug-related mortality (+1.331 per 100,000, p<0.001) an…

The impact of Alfvenic shear flow on magnetic reconnection and turbulence
Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental and omnipresent energy conversion process in plasma physics.

Using near-Sun observations from PSP Encounters 4 to 11 (Jan 2020 to March 2022), we investigate whether reconnection onset might be suppressed by velocity shear.
