General geometry realized by four-scalar model and application to $f(Q)$ gravity
In this paper, we propose a model including four scalar fields coupled with general gravity theories, which is a generalization of the two-scalar model proposed in Phys. Rev. D \textbf{103} (2021) no.4, 044055, where it has been shown that any given spherically symmetric static/time-dependent spacetime can be realized by using the two-scalar model. We show that by using the four-scalar model, we can construct a model that realizes any given spacetime as a solution even if the spacetime does not…

On k-Mer-Based and Maximum Likelihood Estimation Algorithms for Trace Reconstruction
The goal of the trace reconstruction problem is to recover a string $x\in\{0,1\}^n$ given many independent {\em traces} of $x$, where a trace is a subsequence obtained from deleting bits of $x$ independently with some given probability $p\in [0,1).$ A recent result of Chase (STOC 2021) shows how $x$ can be determined (in exponential time) from $\exp(\widetilde{O}(n^{1/5}))$ traces. This is the state-of-the-art result on the sample complexity of trace reconstruction. In this paper we consider …

Superexchange Mechanism in Coupled Triangulenes Forming Spin-1 Chains
We show that the origin of the antiferromagnetic coupling in spin-1 triangulene chains, which were recently synthesized and measured by Mishra et al. Nature 598, 287-292 (2021) originates from a superexchange mechanism. This process, mediated by inter-triangulene states, opens the possibility to control parameters in the effective bilinear-biquadratic spin model. We start from the derivation of an effective tight-binding model for triangulene chains using a combination of tight-binding and Hart…

Properties of the Mallows Model Depending on the Number of Alternatives: A Warning for an Experimentalist
The Mallows model is a popular distribution for ranked data. We empirically and theoretically analyze how the properties of rankings sampled from the Mallows model change when increasing the number of alternatives. We find that real-world data behaves differently than the Mallows model, yet is in line with its recent variant proposed by Boehmer et al. [2021]. As part of our study, we issue several warnings about using the model.

Improved bounds on the interactive capacity via error pattern analysis
Any interactive protocol between a pair of parties can be reliably simulated in the presence of noise with a multiplicative overhead on the number of rounds (Schulman 1996). The reciprocal of the best (least) overhead is called the interactive capacity of the noisy channel. In this work, we present lower bounds on the interactive capacity of the binary erasure channel. Our lower bound improves the best known bound due to Ben-Yishai et al. 2021 by roughly a factor of 1.75. The improvement is d…

Optimal estimation of local time and occupation time measure for an α-stable Levy process
We present a novel theoretical result on estimation of local time and occupation time measure of an α-stable Lévy process with α in (1, 2). Our approach is based upon computing the conditional expectation of the desired quantities given high frequency data, which is an L^2-optimal statistic by construction. We prove the corresponding stable central limit theorems and discuss a statistical application. In particular, this work extends the results of [Ivanovs and i Podolskij (2021)], which inv…

Superexchange Mechanism in Coupled Triangulenes Forming Spin-1 Chains
We show that the origin of the antiferromagnetic coupling in spin-1 triangulene chains, which were recently synthesized and measured by Mishra et al. Nature 598, 287-292 (2021) originates from a superexchange mechanism. This process, mediated by inter-triangulene states, opens the possibility to control parameters in the effective bilinear-biquadratic spin model. We start from the derivation of an effective tight-binding model for triangulene chains using a combination of tight-binding and Hart…

Stretch-independent magnetization in incompressible magnetorheological elastomers
In this study, we perform a critical examination of the phenomenon where the magnetization is stretch-independent in incompressible hard-magnetic magnetorheological elastomers (h-MREs), as observed in several recent experimental and numerical investigations. We demonstrate that the fully dissipative model proposed by Mukherjee et al. (2021) may be reduced, under physically consistent assumptions, to that of Yan et al. (2023), but not that of Zhao et al. (2019). In cases where the h-MRE solid un…

Upgrade of NaI(Tl) crystal encapsulation for the NEON experiment
The Neutrino Elastic-scattering Observation with NaI(Tl) experiment (NEON) aims to detect coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering~(CE$ν$NS) in a NaI(Tl) crystal using reactor anti-electron neutrinos at the Hanbit nuclear power plant complex. A total of 13.3 kg of NaI(Tl) crystals were initially installed in December 2020 at the tendon gallery, 23.7$\pm$0.3\,m away from the reactor core, which operates at a thermal power of 2.8\,GW. Initial engineering operation was performed from May 2021…

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.

The impact of Covid-19 vaccination in Aotearoa New Zealand: a modelling study
Aotearoa New Zealand implemented a Covid-19 elimination strategy in 2020 and 2021, which enabled a large majority of the population to be vaccinated before being exposed to the virus. This strategy delivered one of the lowest pandemic mortality rates in the world. However, quantitative estimates of the population-level health benefits of vaccination are lacking. Here, we use a validated mathematical model to investigate counterfactual scenarios with differing levels of vaccine coverage in diffe…

A Simple Tensorial Theory of Smectic C Liquid Crystals
The smectic C (smC) phase represents a unique class of liquid crystal phases characterised by the layered arrangement of molecules with tilted orientations with respect to layer normals. Building upon the real-valued tensorial smectic A (smA) model in [Xia et al., PRL, 126, 177801 (2021)], we propose a new continuous mathematical model for smC (and smA) by introducing a novel coupling term between the real tensor containing orientational information and density variation, to control the tilt an…
