Uspol, genocide
In case you're wondering whether "political violence" is escalating in the U.S.A. right now, of *course* it is as we move into an era of concentration campus and domestic military deployments. But both domestic genocides and purges as well as political violence targeted at individual prominent figures has been a *constant* throughout American history, from gun duels fought between political rivals to massacres of Native Americans in order to steal their land, to pogroms against Catholics, to literal wars on local Black success and political participation, all dating back before the American Revolution to the beginning of colonization. Thanks to Wikipedia, here's a *small sampling* where I attempted to whittle things down to about one event per decade before recent times.

Using the YSocial framework, we seed the simulation with a fixed catalog of technology links sampled from Voat's shared URLs (covering 30+ domains) and calibrate parameters to Voat's v/technolo…

On the asymptotic profile of solutions to semilinear damped wave equations with critical nonlinearities
In this paper, we consider the Cauchy problem for a semilinear damped wave equation with the nonlinear term $|u|^{1+2/n} μ(|u|)$, where $μ$ is a modulus of continuity. In recent papers by Ebert,Girardi,Reissig (Math. Ann. 378 (2020)) and Girardi (Nonlinear Differ. Equ. Appl. 32 (2025)), the authors obtained a sharp critical condition on $μ$ in low space dimensions $n=1,2,3$, which determines the threshold between global (in time) existence of small data solutions and blow…

The Fourth-Moment Theorem on Hilbert Spaces

The Fourth-Moment Theorem on Hilbert Spaces
In a work by Bourguin and Campese [Electron. J. Probab. 25, 1-30 (2020)], a fourth-moment theorem for weak convergence to a Gaussian measure on separable Hilbert spaces was proposed. However, a very recent work by Bassetti, Bourguin, Campese, and Peccati [arXiv:2509.13427 (2025)] showed that the distance employed in the former article does not metrize weak convergence on such spaces; consequently, one of the main results therein does not hold as stated. In this paper, we characterize converge…

Deep Active Learning for Lung Disease Severity Classification from Chest X-rays: Learning with Less Data in the Presence of Class Imbalance
To reduce the amount of required labeled data for lung disease severity classification from chest X-rays (CXRs) under class imbalance, this study applied deep active learning with a Bayesian Neural Network (BNN) approximation and weighted loss function. This retrospective study collected 2,319 CXRs from 963 patients (mean age, 59.2 $\pm$ 16.6 years; 481 female) at Emory Healthcare affiliated hospitals between January and November 2020. All patients had clinically confirmed COVID-19. Each CXR wa…

A Caveat on Metrizing Convergence in Distribution on Hilbert Spaces
We consider Sobolev-type distances on probability measures over separable Hilbert spaces involving the Schatten-$p$ norms, which include as special cases a distance first introduced by Bourguin and Campese (2020) when $p=2$, and a distance introduced by Giné and Leon (1980) when $p=\infty$. Our analysis shows that, unless $p=\infty$, these distances fail to metrize convergence in distribution in infinite dimensions. This clarifies several inconsistencies and misconceptions in the recent litera…
