On the Smallest Size of Internal Collage Systems
A Straight-Line Program (SLP) for a stirng $T$ is a context-free grammar in Chomsky normal form that derives $T$ only, which can be seen as a compressed form of $T$. Kida et al.\ introduced collage systems [Theor. Comput. Sci., 2003] to generalize SLPs by adding repetition rules and truncation rules. The smallest size $c(T)$ of collage systems for $T$ has gained attention to see how these generalized rules improve the compression ability of SLPs. Navarro et al. [IEEE Trans. Inf. Theory, 2021] s…

TPSQLi: Test Prioritization for SQL Injection Vulnerability Detection in Web Applications
The rapid proliferation of network applications has led to a significant increase in network attacks. According to the OWASP Top 10 Projects report released in 2021, injection attacks rank among the top three vulnerabilities in software projects. This growing threat landscape has increased the complexity and workload of software testing, necessitating advanced tools to support agile development cycles. This paper introduces a novel test prioritization method for SQL injection vulnerabilities to…

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…

First observation of the Josephson-Anderson relation in experiments on hydrodynamic drag
We verify a recent prediction (Eq. 3.50 in G. L. Eyink, Phys. Rev. X 11, 031054 (2021)) for the drag on an object moving through a fluid. In this prediction the velocity field is decomposed into a nonvortical (potential) and vortical contribution, and so is the associated drag force. In the Josephson-Anderson relation the vortical contribution of the drag force follows from the flux of vorticity traversing the streamlines of the corresponding potential flow. The potential component is directly …

The Santa Cruz Extreme AO Lab (SEAL) 2.0: A reflective, multi-wavelength rebuild
The Santa cruz Extreme Adaptive optics Lab (SEAL) is a visible/near-infrared wavelength testbed designed to support technology development for high contrast imaging on large, segmented, ground-based telescopes. SEAL saw first light in 2021 as a transmissive, visible-wavelength AO testbed. In this paper, we present four major upgrades to SEAL: (1) the testbed has been rebuilt with custom off-axis parabolic mirrors, enabling operation in both near-infrared and visible wavelengths; (2) the suite o…

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 …

Stoquasticity is not enough: towards a sharper diagnostic for Quantum Monte Carlo simulability
Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) methods are powerful tools for simulating quantum many-body systems, yet their applicability is limited by the infamous sign problem. We approach this challenge through the lens of Vanishing Geometric Phases (VGP) \cite{Hen_2021}, introducing it as a `geometric' criterion for diagnosing QMC simulability. We characterize the class of VGP Hamiltonians, and analyze the complexity of recognizing this class, identifying both hard and efficiently identifiable cases. We furth…

A note on Wang's conjecture for harmonic functions with nonlinear boundary condition
We obtain some Liouville type theorems for positive harmonic functions on compact Riemannian manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature and strictly convex boundary and partially verifies Wang's conjecture (J. Geom. Anal. 31 (2021)). For the specific manifold $\mathbb{B}^n$, we present a new proof of this conjecture, which has been resolved by Gu-Li (Math. Ann. 391 (2025)). Our proof is based on a general principle of applying the P-function method to such uniqueness results. As a further app…

Adversarial Defense in Cybersecurity: A Systematic Review of GANs for Threat Detection and Mitigation
Machine learning-based cybersecurity systems are highly vulnerable to adversarial attacks, while Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) act as both powerful attack enablers and promising defenses. This survey systematically reviews GAN-based adversarial defenses in cybersecurity (2021--August 31, 2025), consolidating recent progress, identifying gaps, and outlining future directions. Using a PRISMA-compliant systematic literature review protocol, we searched five major digital libraries. From 8…

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…

A note on the relation between one--step, outcome regression and IPW--type estimators of parameters with the mixed bias property
Bruns-Smith et al. (2025) established an algebraic identity between the one-step estimator and a specific outcome regression-type estimator for a class of parameters that forms a strict subset of the class introduced in Chernozhukov et al.

They conjectured that this identity extends to the broader mixed bias class introduced in Rotnitzky et al. (2021). In this note, we prove their conjecture and fur…
