Product structure extension of the Alon--Seymour--Thomas theorem

Illingworth, Scott and Wood [2022] recently refined this result by showing that every such graph is a subgraph of some graph with treewidth $t-2$, where each vertex is blown up by a complete graph of order $O(\sqrt{tn})$.

Similarity between a many-body quantum avalanche model and the ultrametric random matrix model
In the field of ergodicity-breaking phases, it has been recognized that quantum avalanches can destabilize many-body localization at a wide range of disorder strengths. This has in particular been demonstrated by the numerical study of a toy model, sometimes simply called the "avalanche model" or the "quantum sun model" [Phys. Rev. Lett. 129, 060602 (2022)], which consists of an ergodic seed coupled to a perfectly localized material. In this paper, we connect this toy model to a well-studied mo…

The phenomenon of confinement is well known in high-energy physics and can also be realized for low-energy domain-wall excitations in one-dimensional quantum spin chains. A bound state consisting of two domain-walls can behave like a meson, and in a recent work of Vovrosh et al. [PRX Quantum 3, 040309 (2022)] , it was demonstrated that a pair of mesons could dynamically form a meta-stable confinement-induced bound state (consisting of four domain-walls) akin to a hadronic state.

In particular, we report all zero-order and higher-order potentialisations for this class of equations using their integrating factors (or multipliers) up to order four. Chains of connecting evolution equations are also obtained by multi-potentialisations.

Mobile Health Text Misinformation Identification Using Mobile Data Mining
More than six million people died of the COVID-19 by April 2022. The heavy casualties have put people on great and urgent alert and people try to find all kinds of information to keep them from being inflected by the coronavirus. This research tries to find out whether the mobile health text information sent to peoples devices is correct as smartphones becoming the major information source for people. The proposed method uses various mobile information retrieval and data mining technologies inc…

Finding product sets in some classes of amenable groups
In 2022, using methods from ergodic theory, Kra, Moreira, Richter, and Robertson resolved a longstanding conjecture of Erdős about sumsets in large subsets of the natural numbers. In this paper, we extend this result to several important classes of amenable groups, including all finitely generated virtually nilpotent groups, and all abelian groups $(G,+)$ with the property that the subgroup $2G := \{g+g : g\in G\}$ has finite index. We prove that in any group $G$ from the above classes, any $A…

On the splitting of weak nearly cosymplectic manifolds
Weak almost contact manifolds, i.e., the linear complex structure on the contact distribution is approximated by a nonsingular skew-symmetric tensor, defined by the author and R. Wolak (2022), allowed a new look at the theory of contact manifolds. This article studies the curvature and topology of new structures of this type, called the weak nearly cosymplectic structure and weak nearly Kähler structure. We find conditions under which weak nearly cosymplectic manifolds become Riemannian produc…

@… advocates for #degrowth?
Great, but please stick to that consistently and don't use growth as a shorthand for economic health.
Also recognise the contradictions of a growth-oriented GND.
Thanks.
I don’t believe in growth

A quick probability-oriented introduction to operator splitting methods
This paper is an extended and reworked version of a short course given by the author at ''Uzbekistan-Ukrainian readings in stochastic processes'', Tashkent-Kyiv, 2022, and was prepared for a special issue of ''Theory of stochastic processes'', devoted to publishing lecture notes from the aforementioned workshop. The survey is devoted to operator splitting methods in the abstract formulation and their applications in probability. While the survey is focused on multiplicative methods, the BCH f…

No further update has issued.

Computing Longest Common Subsequence under Cartesian-Tree Matching Model
Two strings of the same length are said to Cartesian-tree match (CT-match) if their Cartesian-trees are isomorphic [Park et al., TCS 2020]. Cartesian-tree matching is a natural model that allows for capturing similarities of numerical sequences. Oizumi et al. [CPM 2022] showed that subsequence pattern matching under CT-matching model can be solved in polynomial time. This current article follows and extends this line of research: We present the first polynomial-time algorithm that finds the lon…

Partial Mobilization: Tracking Multilingual Information Flows Amongst Russian Media Outlets and Telegram
In response to disinformation and propaganda from Russian online media following the invasion of Ukraine, Russian media outlets such as Russia Today and Sputnik News were banned throughout Europe. To maintain viewership, many of these Russian outlets began to heavily promote their content on messaging services like Telegram. In this work, we study how 16 Russian media outlets interacted with and utilized 732 Telegram channels throughout 2022. Leveraging the foundational model MPNet, DP-means cl…
