Raiders select versatile pass-catcher with No. 13 pick in draft
The run on offensive players continues. The Raiders are out of options with respect to quarterbacks, so they have selected Georgia tight end Brock Bowers with the 13th pick. Bowers racked up 2,538 yards and 26 touchdowns during his three-year tenure with the Bulldogs. He played a key role in the team winning the national title in 2021 and 2022, and in the latter campaign he earned first-team All-American honors. Bowers took home the John Mackey award as the nation’s top tight end in each of t…

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…

Testing Spreading Behavior in Networks with Arbitrary Topologies
Inspired by the works of Goldreich and Ron (J. ACM, 2017) and Nakar and Ron (ICALP, 2021), we initiate the study of property testing in dynamic environments with arbitrary topologies. Our focus is on the simplest non-trivial rule that can be tested, which corresponds to the 1-BP rule of bootstrap percolation and models a simple spreading behavior: Every "infected" node stays infected forever, and each "healthy" node becomes infected if and only if it has at least one infected neighbor. We show …

Which draft picks do the 49ers own in 2024?
The San Francisco 49ers were awarded five compensatory selections in the 2024 NFL Draft to help offset the disparity between free-agency losses and gains from last year. This brings the team's total number of draft picks to 11. If you counted 12 there, more on that in a second. San Francisco's first selection comes at No. 31 overall in the first round. The 49ers have been without a first-round pick since the 2021 draft due to the valuable selections being part of the trade package to move up an…

$^{27}$Al NMR study of the magnetic Weyl semimetal CeAlGe
Motivated by the recent observations of electronic correlation effect [M. Corasaniti \textit{et al}., Phys. Rev. B \textbf{104}, L121112 (2021)] and topology-stabilized magnetic fluctuations [N. Drucker \textit{et al}., Nat. Commun. \textbf{14}, 5182 (2023)] in the noncentrosymmetric magnetic Weyl semimetal candidate CeAlGe, we performed systematic studies on the local static and dynamic spin susceptibilities by $^{27}$Al nuclear magnetic resonance. Due to the large spin susceptibility from Ce-…

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.

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…
