What to know about Trump's deployment of National Guard troops to LA protests
President Donald Trump says he’s deploying 2,000 California National Guard troops to Los Angeles to respond to immigration protests, over the objections of California Gov. Gavin Newsom. It’s not the first time Trump has activated the National Guard to quell protests. In 2020, he asked governors of several states to send troops to Washington, D.C. to respond to demonstrations that arose after George Floyd was killed by Minneapolis police officers. Here are some things to know about when and …

Greedy Dynamic Matching
We study a foundational model of dynamic matching market with abandonment. This model has been studied by Collina et al (2020) and Aouad and Saritac (2022), and many other papers have considered special cases. We compare the performance of greedy policies -- which identify a set of "acceptable" matches up front, and perform these matches as soon as possible -- to that of an omniscient benchmark which knows the full arrival and departure sequence. We use a novel family of linear programs ($LP^…

Truthful, Credible, and Optimal Auctions for Matroids via Blockchains and Commitments
We consider a revenue-optimizing auctioneer in single-dimensional environments with matroid feasibility constraints. Akbarpour and Li (2020) argue that any revenue-optimal, truthful, and credible mechanism requires unbounded communication. Recent works (Ferreira and Weinberg, 2020; Essaidi et al., 2022; Chitra et al., 2024) circumvent their impossibility for the single-item setting through the use of cryptographic commitments and blockchains. We extend their results to matroid feasibility const…

Enjoying Non-linearity in Multinomial Logistic Bandits
We consider the multinomial logistic bandit problem, a variant of generalized linear bandits where a learner interacts with an environment by selecting actions to maximize expected rewards based on probabilistic feedback from multiple possible outcomes. In the binary setting, recent work has focused on understanding the impact of the non-linearity of the logistic model (Faury et al., 2020; Abeille et al., 2021). They introduced a problem-dependent constant $κ_*$, that may be exponentially larg…

Exoplanet Atmospheric Escape Observations with the Habitable Worlds Observatory
The Decadal Survey on Astronomy and Astrophysics 2020 highlights the importance of advancing research focused on discovering and characterizing habitable worlds. In line with this priority, our goal is to investigate how planetary systems evolve through atmospheric escape and to develop methods for identifying potentially Earth-like planets. By leveraging the ultraviolet (UV) capabilities of the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO), we can use transit spectroscopy to observe atmospheric escape in…

Symmetry and symmetry breaking in interpolation inequalities for two-dimensional spinors -- Preliminary results
On the two-dimensional Euclidean space, we study a spinorial analogue of the Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequality involving weighted gradient norms. This (SCKN) inequality is equivalent to a spinorial Gagliardo-Nirenberg type interpolation inequality on a cylinder as well as to an interpolation inequality involving Aharonov-Bohm magnetic fields, which was analyzed in a paper of 2020. We examine the symmetry properties of optimal functions by linearizing the associated functional around radial m…

On the existence of negative moments for some non-colliding particle systems and its application
We consider a class of $d$-dimensional stochastic differential equations that model a non-colliding random particle system. We provide a sufficient condition, which does not depend on the dimension $d$, for the existence of negative moments of the gap between two particles, and then apply this result to study the strong rate of convergence of the semi-implicit Euler-Maruyama approximation scheme. Our finding improves a recent result of Ngo and Taguchi (Annals of Applied Probability, 2020).

Impact of the WHO's 90-70-90 Strategy on HPV-Related Cervical Cancer Control: A Mathematical Model Evaluation in China
In August 2020, the World Health Assembly approved the Global Strategy to eliminate cervical cancer, marking the first time that numerous countries committed to eliminating a form of cancer. China introduced the HPV vaccine in 2016 and has made significant advancements in both prevention and treatment strategies. However, due to the relatively late introduction of the vaccine, the burden of cervical cancer in China continues to rise. In light of this, we develop a compartmental model to assess …

A note on multi-transitivity in non-autonomous discrete systems
This paper is concerned with some stronger forms of transitivity in non-autonomous discrete systems$(f_{ 1,\infty})$ generated by a uniformly convergent sequence of continuous self maps. Firstly, we present two counterexamples to show that Theorem 3.1 obtained by Salman and Das in [Multi-transitivity in nonautonomous discrete systems Topol. Appl. 278(2020)107237] is not true. Then, we introduce and study mildly mixing in non-autonomous discrete systems, which is stronger than mixing. We obtain …

A Radio-quiet AGN as a candidate counterpart to neutrino event IceCube-200615A
Follow-up observations of neutrino events have been a promising method for identifying sources of very-high-energy cosmic rays. Neutrinos are unambiguous tracers of hadronic interactions and cosmic rays. On June 15, 2020, IceCube detected a neutrino event with an 82.8% probability of being astrophysical in origin. To identify the astrophysical source of the neutrino, we used X-ray tiling observations to identify potential counterpart sources. We performed additional multiwavelength follow-up wi…

In this paper, we discuss our experience in designing and teaching a course on Software Engineering Project Management, where the focus is on Agile/Scrum development and Requirement Engineering activities. The course has undergone fundamental changes since 2020 to make the teaching approach more student-centred and flexible. As many universities abandoned having face-to-face exams at the end of the semester, authentic assessments now play an even more important role than before. This makes asse…

The Proof Analysis Problem
Atserias and Müller (JACM, 2020) proved that for every unsatisfiable CNF formula $φ$, the formula $\operatorname{Ref}(φ)$, stating "$φ$ has small Resolution refutations", does not have subexponential-size Resolution refutations. Conversely, when $φ$ is satisfiable, Pudlák (TCS, 2003) showed how to construct a polynomial-size Resolution refutation of $\operatorname{Ref}(φ)$ given a satisfying assignment of $φ$. A question that remained open is: do all short Resolution refutations of $\op…

Least Squares Estimation For Hierarchical Data
The U.S. Census Bureau's 2020 Disclosure Avoidance System (DAS) bases its output on noisy measurements, which are population tabulations added to realizations of mean-zero random variables. These noisy measurements are observed for a set of hierarchical geographic units, e.g., the U.S. as a whole, states, counties, census tracts, and census blocks. The Census Bureau released the noisy measurements generated in the DAS executions for the two primary 2020 Census data products, in part to allow da…

Detecting Narrative Shifts through Persistent Structures: A Topological Analysis of Media Discourse
How can we detect when global events fundamentally reshape public discourse? This study introduces a topological framework for identifying structural change in media narratives using persistent homology. Drawing on international news articles surrounding major events - including the Russian invasion of Ukraine (Feb 2022), the murder of George Floyd (May 2020), the U.S. Capitol insurrection (Jan 2021), and the Hamas-led invasion of Israel (Oct 2023) - we construct daily co-occurrence graphs of n…

Sprinkled Decoupling for Hammersley's Process
In this article we prove a sprinkled decoupling inequality for the stationary Hammersley's interacting particle process. Inspired by the work of Baldasso and Texeira (2018), and Hilário, Kious and Texeira (2020), we apply this inequality to study two distinct problems on the top of this particle process. First, we analyze a detection problem, demonstrating that a fugitive can evade particles, provided that their jump range is sufficiently large. Second, we show that a random walk in a dynamic …
