Intersection Theorem for DG-modules
Let A be a commutative noetherian local DG-ring with bounded cohomology. The Intersection Theorem for DG-modules is examined and some of its applications are provided. The first is to prove the DG-setting of the amplitude inequality, New Intersection Theorem and Krull's principle ideal theorem. The second is to solve completely the Minamoto's conjecture in [Israel J. Math. 242 (2021) 1-36]. The third is to show the DG-version of the Bass conjecture about Cohen-Macaulay rings and the Vasconcelos…

Edit and Alphabet-Ordering Sensitivity of Lex-parse
We investigate the compression sensitivity [Akagi et al., 2023] of lex-parse [Navarro et al., 2021] for two operations: (1) single character edit and (2) modification of the alphabet ordering, and give tight upper and lower bounds for both operations. For both lower bounds, we use the family of Fibonacci words. For the bounds on edit operations, our analysis makes heavy use of properties of the Lyndon factorization of Fibonacci words to characterize the structure of lex-parse.

Cosmological Inflation and Dark Sector from 11D Supergravity
We explore compactifications of the form of three tori and one circle in the framework of 11D supergravity. By imposing suitable gauge conditions and boundary conditions, we find that the four-dimensional FRW universe emerges as a solution representing cosmological D3-branes in the eleven-dimensional bulk. These specific compactification methods can produce cosmological inflation that aligns with the observational constraints set by the 2021 BICEP/Keck and Planck 2018 results. In the cosmologic…
