Horizon-scale variability of M87* from 2017--2021 EHT observations
We report three epochs of polarized images of M87* at 230\,GHz using data from the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) taken in 2017, 2018, and 2021. The baseline coverage of the 2021 observations is significantly improved through the addition of two new EHT stations: the 12\,m Kitt Peak Telescope and the Northern Extended Millimetre Array (NOEMA). All observations result in images dominated by a bright, asymmetric ring with a persistent diameter of $43.9\pm 0.6\,\muas$, consistent with expectations …

Bi-Lipschitz embedding properties of lamplighter graphs on weighted and unweighted trees
In 2021 Baudier, Motakis, Schlumprecht, and Zsák proved that if a sequence of graphs $(G_k)_{k\in{\mathbb{N}}}$ contains the sequence of complete graphs with uniformly bounded distortion, then the sequence of lamplighter graphs on $G_k$'s contains Hamming cubes with uniformly bounded distortion and asked whether the converse holds. They suggested that a sequence of trees with edges replaced by paths of ``moderately growing'' lengths may be a counterexample. We prove that indeed this is the…

"Rich-Get-Richer"? Analyzing Content Creator Earnings Across Large Social Media Platforms
This paper examines whether monthly content creator earnings follow a power law distribution, driven by compounding 'rich-get-richer' dynamics (Barabasi and Albert 1999). Patreon creator earnings data for 2018, 2021, and 2024 for Instagram, Twitch, YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, and Patreon exhibit a power law exponent around $α= 2$. This suggests that algorithmic systems generate unequalizing returns closer to highly concentrated capital income and wealth, rather than labor income. Platforms gov…

Frequency-Aware Ensemble Learning for BraTS 2025 Pediatric Brain Tumor Segmentation
Pediatric brain tumor segmentation presents unique challenges due to the rarity and heterogeneity of these malignancies, yet remains critical for clinical diagnosis and treatment planning. We propose an ensemble approach integrating nnU-Net, Swin UNETR, and HFF-Net for the BraTS-PED 2025 challenge. Our method incorporates three key extensions: adjustable initialization scales for optimal nnU-Net complexity control, transfer learning from BraTS 2021 pre-trained models to enhance Swin UNETR's gen…

Gravitational Recoil and Suppression of Super Massive Black Hole Seeds in the Early Universe
We investigate the impact of gravitational-wave (GW) recoil on the growth of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in the early Universe. Forming ~10^9 Msun SMBHs by z ~ 6 is challenging and may require hierarchical mergers of smaller seed black holes. We extend a semi-analytic seed model (Sassano et al. 2021) by explicitly incorporating GW recoil physics. Our model includes: (1) recoil velocity formulae calibrated to numerical relativity for spinning, unequal-mass BH binaries (Campanelli et al. 200…

Good Morning #Canada
I've been a bachelor since Thursday as my wife is in Toronto helping my daughter with her latest chemo session. She's back late Monday when life, for me, returns to normal. According to #StatsCan, being married at our age (late 60s) is the most prevalent relationship. But Canadians in younger age brackets are more likely these days to be living common-law and getting married later in life, if at all. Canada has one of the highest rates of common-law relationships worldwide and the highest in the G7. Between 1981 and 2021, common-law couples increased 447% while the number of married couples grew by only 26%. Common-law unions are most prevalent in Nunavut (52%), Quebec (43%), and the Northwest Territories (36%). It's no surprise that more than half of Canadians believe that marriage is not necessary, and even less surprising that this opinion is stronger with young men versus young women.

VBS hat für einen Typenentscheid F-35 vorgespurt und den Bundesrat entmachtet: Es gab ein Gutachten, das das VBS im Juni 2021 ausgerechnet vor der Bundesratsdebatte über den Typenentscheid beim Bundesamt für Justiz in Auftrag gegeben hatte. Das Gutachten hielt fest, dass der Bundesrat verpflichtet sei, sich für den Sieger der Evaluation zu entscheiden – sofern es bei Preis und Fähigkeiten keine weitgehende Gleichwertigkeit gebe. Genauso hat Amherd dann argumentiert.
