In pattern matching on strings, a locate query asks for an enumeration of all the occurrences of a given pattern in a given text. The r-index [Gagie et al., 2018] is a recently presented compressed self index that stores the text and auxiliary information in compressed space. With some modifications, locate queries can be answered in optimal time [Nishimoto & Tabei, 2021], which has recently been proven relevant in practice in the form of Move-r [Bertram et al., 2024].

Does $K$-fold CV based penalty perform variable selection or does it lead to $n^{1/2}$-consistency in Lasso?
Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator or Lasso, introduced by Tibshirani (1996), is one of the widely used regularization methods in regression. It is observed that the properties of Lasso vary wildly depending on the choice of the penalty parameter. The recent results of Lahiri (2021) suggest that, depending on the nature of the penalty parameter, Lasso can either be variable selection consistent or be $n^{1/2}-$consistent. However, practitioners generally implement Lasso by choosing…

We present the results of the spectral and timing analyses of the accreting X-ray pulsar, 2S 1417-624, during the 2018 and 2021 outbursts with Insight-HXMT.

In the 1-10 keV band, the pulse profiles evolve from double to triple peaks at a flux level of $\sim$4.1$\ \times \ 10^{-9}$ erg cm$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$, and from triple to quadruple peaks at $\sim$6.4$\ \times \ 10^{-9}$ erg cm$^{-2}$ …

This work studies the complexity of refuting the existence of a perfect matching in spectral expanders with an odd number of vertices, in the Polynomial Calculus (PC) and Sum of Squares (SoS) proof system. Austrin and Risse [SODA, 2021] showed that refuting perfect matchings in sparse $d$-regular \emph{random} graphs, in the above proof systems, with high probability requires proofs with degree $Ω(n/\log n)$.

Rota-Baxter operators on compact simple Lie groups and algebras
A Rota-Baxter operator on a Lie group $ G $ is a smooth map $ B : G \to G $ such that $ B(g)B(h) = B(gB(g)hB(g)^{-1}) $ for all $ g, h \in G $. This concept was introduced in 2021 by Guo, Lang and Sheng as a Lie group analogue of Rota-Baxter operators of weight 1 on Lie algebras. We show that the only Rota-Baxter operators on compact simple Lie groups are the trivial map and the inverse map. A similar description for Rota-Baxter operators of weight 1 on compact simple Lie algebras is provided.

Let q be a finite-dimensional Lie algebra and $θ$ an automorphism of q of order m. We extend $θ$ to an automorphism of the loop algebra of q and consider the fixed-point subalgebra $q[t,t^{-1}]^θ$. Using a splitting of $q[t,t^{-1}]^θ$, we construct $θ$-twisted Poisson-commutative versions of the Feigin--Frenkel centre and the universal Gaudin subalgebra introduced by Ilin and Rybnikov in 2021.

Strategic Customer Behavior in an M/M/1 Feedback Queue with General Payoffs
We consider an M/M/1 feedback queue in which service attempts may fail, requiring the customer to rejoin the queue. Arriving customers act strategically, deciding whether to join the queue based on a threshold strategy that depends on the number of customers present. Their decisions balance the expected service reward against the costs associated with waiting, while accounting for the behavior of others. This model was first analyzed by Fackrell, Taylor and Wang (2021), who assumed that waiti…

The $3$-sparsity of $X^n-1$ over finite fields
Let $q$ be a prime power and $\mathbb{F}_q$ the finite field with $q$ elements. For a positive integer $n$, the binomial $f_n(X):= X^n-1\in\mathbb{F}_q[X]$ is called $3$-sparse over $\mathbb{F}_q$ if each irreducible factor of $f_n(X)$ over $\mathbb{F}_q$ is either a binomial or a trinomial. In 2021, Oliveira and Reis characterized all positive integers $n$ for which $f_n(X)$ is $3$-sparse over $\mathbb{F}_q$ when $q = 2$ and $q = 4$, and posed the open problem of whether, for any given $q$, th…

Enjoying Non-linearity in Multinomial Logistic Bandits
We consider the multinomial logistic bandit problem, a variant of generalized linear bandits where a learner interacts with an environment by selecting actions to maximize expected rewards based on probabilistic feedback from multiple possible outcomes. In the binary setting, recent work has focused on understanding the impact of the non-linearity of the logistic model (Faury et al., 2020; Abeille et al., 2021). They introduced a problem-dependent constant $κ_*$, that may be exponentially larg…

For more than a century, putrid fumes emanated from
the “sewer of the Ruhr”,
creating a pungent whiff that assaulted towns throughout Germany’s industrial heartland.
But today, the Emscher bears little resemblance to Europe’s dirtiest river.
Water that used to be fouled by factory waste and human excrement have been free from effluent since 2021.
The river system, the main part of which was once considered biologically dead, is witnessing the return of an abun…

Methodological Advances and Challenges in Indirect Treatment Comparisons: A Review of International Guidelines and HAS TC Case Studies
To evaluate methodological challenges and regulatory considerations of indirect treatment comparisons (ITCs) with the analysis of international health technology assessment guidelines and French Transparency Committee (TC) decisions. We conducted a pragmatic review of ITC guidelines from major health technology assessment (HTA) bodies and multistakeholder organizations. Then, we analyzed TC opinions published between 2021-2023. We extracted data on ITC methodology, therapeutic areas, acceptabil…

Very interesting talks at the #SolarEclipse Conference - https://www.vvs.be/subsite/sec-2025/programme - in Belgium I am attending online: here is the key result by Luca Quaglia who had reported his work in great detail in the papers https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/1538-4365/ac1279 (2021), https://www.iota-es.de/JOA/JOA2022_2.pdf#page=3 (2022) and https://www.iota-es.de/JOA/JOA2024_4.pdf#page=3 (2024) already. There seems to be NO way by now to escape the conclusion the the solar - i.e. photospheric - diameter used by many in the past (and various eclipse map calculations sites still today) is too small. So everyone should use Quaglia's free precision tools at https://www.besselianelements.com instead to get the real length of totality at one's observing spot. And when you are observing at the edges of the totality zone the tools will tell you where the actual border is: traditional maps can the off by some margin! 1/n

Mode stability for self-similar blowup of slightly supercritical NLS: II. high-energy spectrum
In continuation of the study of the companion work, we prove the high-energy mode stability for linearized operator around self-similar profiles in [Bahri-Martel-Raphaël, 2021] for slightly mass-supercritical NLS in $1 \le d \le 10$. 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…

Antiquantum $q$-series and mock theta functions
Ramanujan's original definition of mock theta functions from 1920 involves their asymptotic behaviors at roots of unity on the boundary of the disk of convergence $|q|<1$. More recently this topic has been related by several authors, including the first author with Ono and Rhoades in 2013, to quantum modular forms, first defined in 2010 by Zagier. In 2021, Lovejoy defined and studied related quantum $q$-series identities, which do not hold as equalities between power series inside the…

All-sky search for individual Primordial Black Hole bursts with LHAASO
Primordial Black Holes~(PBHs) are hypothetical black holes with a wide range of masses that formed in the early universe. As a result, they may play an important cosmological role and provide a unique probe of the early universe. A PBH with an initial mass of approximately $10^{15}$~g is expected to explode today in a final burst of Hawking radiation. In this work, we conduct an all-sky search for individual PBH burst events using the data collected from March 2021 to July 2024 by the Water Che…

Bounds on Functionality and Symmetric Difference -- Two Intriguing Graph Parameters
Functionality ($\mathrm{fun}$) is a graph parameter that generalizes graph degeneracy defined by Alecu et al. [JCTB, 2021]. They research the relation of functionality to many other graphs parameters (tree-width, clique-width, VC-dimension, etc.). Extending their research, we completely characterize the functionality of random graph $G(n,p)$ for all possible $p$. We provide matching (up to a constant factor) lower and upper bound for a large range of $p$. It follows from our bounds for $G(n,p)$…

Remarks on radial symmetry of stationary and uniformly-rotating solutions for the 2D Euler equation

Remarks on radial symmetry of stationary and uniformly-rotating solutions for the 2D Euler equation
We prove that any uniformly rotating solution of the 2D incompressible Euler equation with compactly supported vorticity $ω$ must be radially symmetric whenever its angular velocity satisfies $Ω\in (-\infty,\inf ω/ 2] \cup \, [ \sup ω/ 2, +\infty )$, in both the patch and smooth settings. This result extends the rigidity theorems established in \cite{Gom2021MR4312192} (\textit{Duke Math. J.},170(13):2957-3038, 2021), which were confined to the case of non-positive angular velocities and non…
