A proof of Witten's asymptotic expansion conjecture for WRT invariants of Seifert fibered homology spheres
Let $X$ be a general Seifert fibered integral homology $3$-sphere with $r\ge3$ exceptional fibers. For every root of unity $ζ\not=1$, we show that the SU(2) WRT invariant of $X$ evaluated at $ζ$ is (up to an elementary factor) the non-tangential limit at $ζ$ of the GPPV invariant of $X$, thereby generalizing a result from [Andersen-Mistegard 2022]. Based on this result, we apply the quantum modularity results developed in [Han-Li-Sauzin-Sun 2023] to the GPPV invariant of $X$ to prove Witten'…

Energy Transfer Dynamics Generated by Non-Axisymmetric Tornado-Type Flows
The energy cascade in turbulence, first statistically described by Richardson (1922) and Kolmogorov (1941), lacked connection to the underlying fluid dynamics. Recent numerical studies of Goto et al. (2017) and Yoneda et al. (2022) revealed scale-local energy transfer via vortex stretching but remained within spatial statistics. This study aims to uncover the time-dependent elementary process behind the energy cascade by constructing a tornado-type flow in a non-axisymmetric curved cylindrical …

Momentum is building on both sides of the Atlantic to give Ukraine the approximately $300 billion in Russian state assets frozen by Western countries after Moscow launched its full-scale invasion in 2022.
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has now endorsed the idea, removing a long-standing obstacle.
But another one remains:
Russian President Vladimir Putin has threatened to retaliate by confiscating the remaining Western investment in Russia.

Following the success of Transformer architectures in language modeling, particularly their ability to capture long-range dependencies, researchers have explored how these architectures can be adapted for time-series forecasting. Transformer-based models have been proposed to handle both short- and long-term dependencies when predicting future values from historical data. However, studies such as those by Zeng et al.

The neutron star X-ray transient MAXI J1807+132 has undergone outbursts in 2017, 2019, and 2023. We conducted an $R$-band time series photometry campaign using the Isaac Newton Telescope during the 2022 quiescent state. We detected a periodic variation in the light curve, consistent with ellipsoidal modulation, which allowed us to determine an orbital period of $P_{\rm orb} = 4.258 \pm 0.008$ hr. By modelling the light curve, we obtained a binary inclination of $ i = 72\pm5 \, °$ and a mass ra…

Identifying the post-pandemic determinants of low performing students in Latin America through interpretable Machine Learning SHAP Values-Insights from PISA 2022
The high prevalence of students not achieving the basic competencies in Latin America is concerning. Even more so given the region's deep structural inequalities and the larger post-pandemic regional learning losses. Within this scenario, this paper contributes to the identification of the determinants of bottom and low performers (below level 2) using recent advancements on explainable machine learning methods. In particular, relying on PISA 2022 data for 10 countries and using the Shapley Add…

The impact of Alfvenic shear flow on magnetic reconnection and turbulence
Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental and omnipresent energy conversion process in plasma physics. Novel observations of fields and particles from Parker Solar Probe (PSP) have shown the absence of reconnection in a large number of current sheets in the near-Sun solar wind. Using near-Sun observations from PSP Encounters 4 to 11 (Jan 2020 to March 2022), we investigate whether reconnection onset might be suppressed by velocity shear. We compare estimates of the tearing mode growth rate in the …

Determinants of Latin American students academic resilience-Insights based on PISA 2022 using an explainable machine learning approach
The learning crisis in the Latin American region (i.e., higher rates of students not reaching basic competencies at secondary level) is worrying, particularly post-pandemic given the stronger role of inequality behind achievement. Within this scenario, the concept of student academic resilience (SAR), students who despite coming from disadvantaged backgrounds reach good performance levels, and an analysis of its determinants, are policy relevant.
