The ongoing violent threat of election denialism
“You frauded out America of a real election.” The official would “pay for it,” Nickels said, warning that “we will kill you.”


On Jan. 5, 2021, Chad Christopher Stark posted a message on Craigslist offering $10,000 for anyone willing to target elections officials in Georgia to “end to the lives of these traitors and take back our country by force.”

Vikings to sign former first-round pick
Continuing to reshape their front seven, the Vikings have a deal in place with Jerry Tillery.  The former first-round defensive tackle is set to join Minnesota on a one-year deal worth up to $3.25M, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Tillery had an underwhelming start to his career with the Chargers, despite seeing a full-time starting role in 2020 and 2021.  The 27-year-old saw his workload cut the following season, and he was ultimately waived midway through the 2022 campaign. He closed …

All-Sky Search for Transient Astrophysical Neutrino Emission with 10 Years of IceCube Cascade Events
We present the results of a time-dependent search for neutrino flares in data collected by IceCube between May 2011 and 2021. This data set contains cascade-like events originating from charged-current electron neutrino and tau neutrino interactions and all-flavor neutral-current interactions. IceCube's previous all-sky searches for neutrino flares used data sets consisting of track-like events originating from charged-current muon neutrino interactions. The cascade data sets are statistically …

Broadcast Channel Synthesis from Shared Randomness
We study the problem of synthesising a two-user broadcast channel using a common message, where each output terminal shares an independent source of randomness with the input terminal. This generalises two problems studied in the literature (Cuff, IEEE Trans. Inform. Theory, 2013; Kurri et.al., IEEE Trans. Inform. Theory, 2021). We give an inner bound on the tradeoff region between the rates of communication and shared randomness, and a lower bound on the minimum communication rate. Although th…

Chromatic number in $1.9999^n$ time? Fast deterministic set partitioning under the asymptotic rank conjecture

Chromatic number in $1.9999^n$ time? Fast deterministic set partitioning under the asymptotic rank conjecture
In this paper we further explore the recently discovered connection by Björklund and Kaski [STOC 2024] and Pratt [STOC 2024] between the asymptotic rank conjecture of Strassen [Progr. Math. 1994] and the three-way partitioning problem. We show that under the asymptotic rank conjecture, the chromatic number of an $n$-vertex graph can be computed deterministically in $O(1.99982^n)$ time, thus giving a conditional answer to a question of Zamir [ICALP 2021], and questioning the optimality of the $…

Stellar Population near NGC 2021: Procession of Star Formation in the South Rim of Supergiant Shell LMC 4
Supergiant shells (SGSs) are the largest interstellar structures where heated and enriched gas flows into the host galaxy's halo. The SGSs in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) are so close that their stars can be resolved with ground-based telescopes to allow studies of star formation history. Aiming to study the star formation history and energy budget of LMC 4, we have conducted a pilot study of the cluster NGC 2021 and the OB associations in its vicinity near the south rim of LMC 4.

Platforms for Efficient and Incentive-Aware Collaboration
Collaboration is crucial for reaching collective goals. However, its effectiveness is often undermined by the strategic behavior of individual agents -- a fact that is captured by a high Price of Stability (PoS) in recent literature [Blum et al., 2021]. Implicit in the traditional PoS analysis is the assumption that agents have full knowledge of how their tasks relate to one another. We offer a new perspective on bringing about efficient collaboration among strategic agents using information de…

In 2023, much stronger modulations appeared on a much longer time scale of a few days with an am…
