Description of CRESST-III lithium aluminate data
Two detector modules with lithium aluminate targets were operated in the CRESST underground setup between February and June 2021. The data collected in this period was used to set the currently strongest cross-section upper limits on the spin-dependent interaction of dark matter (DM) with protons and neutrons for the mass region between 0.25 and 1.5 GeV/c$^2$. The data are available online. In this document, we describe how the data set should be used to reproduce our dark matter results.

Good Morning #Canada
Conservationists who focus on restoration of wetlands are increasingly "Leaving It To Beaver." Beavers are considered the ultimate Keystone Species because they area they re-engineer offer benefits to many other species, and an entire ecosystem can collapse if a Beaver is removed. A Beaver dam doesn't just hold and conserve water. Beavers increase the population of frogs, fish, insects, birds, and small mammals and extend the range of larger mammals like moose, deer, and bears. The quantity and variety of vegetation are increased. Water is filtered and saturates the land, refilling artesian wells. It's unbelievable that we almost lost this amazing creature because of a hat fashion trend.

Predicting Parkinson's Disease Progression Using Statistical and Neural Mixed Effects Models: A Comparative Study on Longitudinal Biomarkers
Predicting Parkinson's Disease (PD) progression is crucial, and voice biomarkers offer a non-invasive method for tracking symptom severity (UPDRS scores) through telemonitoring. Analyzing this longitudinal data is challenging due to within-subject correlations and complex, nonlinear patient-specific progression patterns. This study benchmarks LMMs against two advanced hybrid approaches: the Generalized Neural Network Mixed Model (GNMM) (Mandel 2021), which embeds a neural network within a GLMM …

On the codimension 1 PGL(3) orbit closures in $\text{Gr}(3,6)$
The projective linear group $\text{PGL}(3)$ naturally acts on the Grassmannian $\text{Gr}(3, V_2)$ of $3$-dimensional subspaces of the vector space $V_2$ of homogeneous conics in 3 variables. It was proved by Abdallah, Emsalem and Iarrobino in 2021 that this action has a one-parameter family of orbits along with 14 special orbits. The codimension 1 orbits of this action consist of the entire one-parameter family of orbits, along with 2 of the 14 special orbits. In this paper, we calculate the c…

On the Image Profiles of Transients in the Palomar Sky Survey
The VASCO project has discovered groups of short-lived transients on historical photographic plates that lack conventional explanation. Hambly & Blair (2024) examined nine such transients reported by Villarroel (2021) and found that they exhibit narrower, rounder profiles, attributing this to emulsion flaws. However, well-established optical principles and atmospheric physics imply that unresolved flashes lasting less than a second naturally appear sharper and more circular than stellar images,…

On approximate quantum error correction for symmetric noise
We revisit the extendability-based semi-definite programming hierarchy introduced by Berta et al. [Mathematical Programming, 1 - 49 (2021)], which provides converging outer bounds on the optimal fidelity of approximate quantum error correction (AQEC). As our first contribution, we introduce a measurement-based rounding scheme that extracts inner sequences of certifiably good encoder-decoder pairs from this outer hierarchy. To address the computational complexity of evaluating fixed levels of th…

Transfer using Fourier transform and minimal representation of $E_7$
In this paper, we study the Sakellaridis-Venkatesh conjecture for the rank-1 spherical variety $X=\text{Spin}_9\backslash F_4$ using an exceptional theta correspondence. We establish the correct transfer map satisfying relative character identities in this case and show that our transfer map agrees with the formula in (Sakellaridis, 2021). Moreover, we show how our techniques lead to a characterization of $X$-relatively cuspidal representations.

Unavoidable pivot-minors in graphs of large rank-depth
Shrub-depth and rank-depth are related graph parameters that are dense analogs of tree-depth. We prove that for every positive integer $t$, every graph of sufficiently large rank-depth contains a pivot-minor isomorphic to a path on $t$ vertices or a graph consisting of two disjoint cliques of size $t$ joined by a half graph. This answers an open problem raised by Kwon, McCarty, Oum, and Wollan in 2021.

This concludes the asymptotic stability of such self-similar blowup, and answers the question from [Bahri-Martel-Raphaël, 2021] and [Merle-Raphaël-Szeftel, 2010]. As a byproduct, we characterize the spectrum for linearized operator around mass-critical ground st…
