Jury finds MyPillow founder defamed former employee for a leading voting equipment company
A federal jury in Colorado has found MyPillow founder Mike Lindell defamed a former employee for a leading voting equipment company. Jurors reached the verdict Monday for Lindell, one of the nation’s most prominent election conspiracy theorists. He had called the employee for Dominion Voting Systems, Eric Coomer, a traitor. Lindell’s online media platform also streamed an event where a conservative podcaster accused Coomer of helping rig the 2020 election. During the trial in Denver, Lindel…

Volatile enrichment in low-mass planets: Signatures of past planetary disruption?
Context: Tidal disruption and engulfment events around main-sequence stars, such as the luminous red nova ZTF SLRN-2020 (a candidate planetary-engulfment event), reveal the destruction of close-in giant planets. While current observations focus on stellar accretion and inner dust emission, the fate of the volatile-rich material expelled during disruption remains poorly understood. Aims: We investigate whether the H/He-rich gas expelled from the disrupted planet's envelope and atmosphere can e…

By being flexible about the location or width of the center, this measure enables the researcher to analyze polarization around any point of interest. The paper then applies this approach to US voter survey data between 2004 and 2020, showing how polarization between right-of-center voters and the rest of the electorate was increasing gradually, while polarization between left-wing…

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…

While Ellingsen et al. (IEEE Trans. Inf.

Fourier Spectral Method for Nonlocal Equations on Bounded Domains
This work introduces efficient and accurate spectral solvers for nonlocal equations on bounded domains. These spectral solvers exploit the fact that integration in the nonlocal formulation transforms into multiplication in Fourier space and that nonlocality is decoupled from the grid size. As a result, the computational cost is reduced to $O(N\log N)$ for an $N$-point discretization grid. Our approach extends the spectral solvers developed by Alali and Albin (2020) for periodic domains by incor…

The liberal obsession with optics serves the right and persuades no one. There is literally an active ethnic cleansing happening in the US right now, and the only thing that matters is making that as hard as possible to carry out.
Anarchists destroying intelligence assets saves lives. Every escooter thrown at a cop car is one less escort for a goon too afraid to kidnap random brown people without being flanked by a branch full of bad apples. Spray paint is not violence. Vandalism is not violence. Community self defense in all forms is legitimate.
Make no mistake, these raids are about changing demographics. Demographic trends have been shifting blue for a long time, and the right has, for a long time, been blaming "white replacement." Conspiracy theory aside, Democrats have also been relying on the growth of black and brown voters as a block. The nuances of whiteness as an identity are lost on the current administration and their supporters. They see that "white people will be a minority by 2050" and equate that with the "end of Western Civilization."
The only way to "save Western Civilization" is to change those demographics. Forced birth and forced removal are two sides of the same white nationalist objective. Of course they can't have due process, because they need to be able to kidnap anyone who they see as a threat to their demographic future.
They don't care about optics. The plan is to murder away any threat and flood everyone else with propaganda. There is no mythical middle. There's no one unconvinced. They know this, but they win when democrats buy that myth and save the police the work of policing the protests.
If your protest is 90% "peaceful," they'll take pictures of the 10% that isn't. If it's 99% peaceful, they'll shoot rubber bullets and teargas until someone throws a brick and take 100 pictures from a dozen angles. If its 100% "peaceful" and no one can be provoked, they'll generate pictures with AI or photoshop like they did during the George Floyd uprising and the pictures from the CHOP/CHAZ.

We model the optical and infrared transient ZTF SLRN-2020, previously associated with a star-planet merger.

Having a bizarre Python performance issue:
same program running on three systems. On the system which has the best Python benchmark scores, it performs the worst. On the oldest system with the worst Python benchmark scores, it performs the best. The worst and best systems are both Ryzen 7 zen4 and zen3 running openSUSE TW; the middle child is a 2020 MacBook Air M1.
wtf?

Adjacency spectral radius and H-factors in 1-binding graphs
Let $G$ be a graph, and let $H:V(G)\longrightarrow\{\{1\},\{0,2\}\}$ be a set-valued function. Hence, $H(v)$ equals $\{1\}$ or $\{0,2\}$ for any $v\in V(G)$. We let $$ H^{-1}(1)=\{v: v\in V(G) \ \mbox{and} \ H(v)=1\}. $$ An $H$-factor of $G$ is a spanning subgraph $F$ of $G$ such that $d_F(v)\in H(v)$ for each $v\in V(G)$. Lu and Kano showed a characterization for the existence of an $H$-factor in a graph [Characterization of 1-tough graphs using factors, Discrete Math. 343 (2020) 111901]. Let …

Maintaining a Bounded Degree Expander in Dynamic Peer-to-Peer Networks
We study the problem of maintaining robust and sparse overlay networks in fully distributed settings where nodes continuously join and leave the system. This scenario closely models real-world unstructured peer-to-peer networks, where maintaining a well-connected yet low-degree communication graph is crucial. We generalize a recent protocol by Becchetti et al. [SODA 2020] that relies on a simple randomized connection strategy to build an expander topology with high probability to a dynamic netw…

On the Exceptional Sets of Transcendental Analytic Functions in Several Variables with Integer Coefficients
In 2020, Marques and Moreira proved that every subset of $\overline{\mathbb{Q}} \cap B(0,1)$, which is closed under complex conjugation and contains $0$, is the exceptional set of uncountably many transcendental analytic functions with integer coefficients. In this paper, we extend this result to transcendental analytic functions in several variables. In particular, we show that every subset of $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}^m$ contained in the unit polydisc $Δ(0;1)$, closed under complex conjugation …

A portrait throughout perihelion of the NH$_2$-rich interstellar comet 2I/Borisov
The interstellar comet 2I/Borisov is the first interstellar object where compositional characterisation was possible throughout its entire perihelion passage. We report all 16 epochs of a comprehensive optical observation campaign with ESO VLT's integral field spectrograph MUSE, spanning 126 days from 2019 November 14 to 2020 March 19. The spatial dust emission of 2I/Borisov was predominantly smooth, with no seasonal effect. A jet-like feature was consistently visible. The gas production morpho…

Metadata Enrichment of Long Text Documents using Large Language Models
In this project, we semantically enriched and enhanced the metadata of long text documents, theses and dissertations, retrieved from the HathiTrust Digital Library in English published from 1920 to 2020 through a combination of manual efforts and large language models. This dataset provides a valuable resource for advancing research in areas such as computational social science, digital humanities, and information science. Our paper shows that enriching metadata using LLMs is particularly benef…

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…

Spectral evolution of GX 17+2 using AstroSat and NICER observations
We study the spectral evolution of the Z-track source GX 17+2 using AstroSat and NICER observations taken between 2016 and 2020. The AstroSat observations cover the period when the source is in the normal branch (NB) and the flaring branch (FB), while for the NICER ones the variability can be associated with the FB branch. The source spectra at different regions of the branches are well described by accretion disk emission, blackbody surface emission and a thermal Comptonization component. In t…

Analytical transit light curves for power-law limb darkening: a comprehensive framework via fractional calculus and differential equations
We present the first complete analytical framework for computing exoplanetary transit light curves with arbitrary power-law limb darkening profiles $I(μ) \propto μ^α$, where $α$ can be any real number greater than $-1/2$, including the physically important non-integer cases. While the groundbreaking work of Agol et al. (2020) provided exact analytical solutions for polynomial limb darkening through recursion relations, stellar atmosphere models often favor power-law forms with fractional ex…
