Achieving Gender Representation in Lead-Author Publications in the ASTRO3D Centre of Excellence
We examine the publication rates of 400 research-focused members in the ASTRO3D Centre of Excellence by gender, project, and year from January 2018 to January 2024 (six years). Of the 443 refereed publications led by ASTRO3D members, women were first-author on 38% which is nearly double that of the astronomy field in the same period (~20%). We record a high-water mark in 2022: 46% of ASTRO3D publications were led by females and 45% of research members identified as female. Using the nine resear…

Consumer Law for AI Agents
Since the public release of ChatGPT in November 2022, the AI landscape is undergoing a rapid transformation. Currently, the use of AI chatbots by consumers has largely been limited to image generation or question-answering language models. The next generation of AI systems, AI agents that can plan and execute complex tasks with only limited human involvement, will be capable of a much broader range of actions. In particular, consumers could soon be able to delegate purchasing decisions to AI ag…

A new Lagrange multiplier approach for constructing structure preserving schemes, III. Bound preserving and energy dissipating
In the third part of this series, we continue to explore the idea of the Lagrange multiplier introduced in the first part [2020, Comput. Methods Appl. Mech. Engr., 391, 114585] and refined in the second part [2022, SIAM J. Numer. Anal., 60, 970-998] to further develop efficient and accurate numerical schemes that preserve the maximum bound principle (MBP) and energy dissipation for solving gradient flows. The proposed framework allows us to begin with any conventional scheme as a predictor step…

Global hypoellipticity on time-periodic Gelfand-Shilov spaces via non-discrete Fourier analysis

Global hypoellipticity on time-periodic Gelfand-Shilov spaces via non-discrete Fourier analysis
In this paper, we provide a characterization of the time-periodic Gelfand-Shilov spaces, as introduced by F. de Ávila Silva and M. Cappiello [J. Funct. Anal., 282(9):29, 2022], through the asymptotic behaviour of both the Euclidean and periodic partial Fourier transforms of their elements. As an application, we establish necessary and sufficient conditions for global regularity -- within this framework -- for a broad class of constant-coefficient differential operators, as well as for first-or…

Update on the intermediate arrival-direction analyses of the Pierre Auger Observatory
We present an update on the arrival-direction analyses conducted on intermediate angular scales using the complete Phase I data of the Pierre Auger Observatory up to the end of $2022$ with a total exposure of $135{,}000\,\text{km}^2\,\text{sr}\,\text{yr}$. We show the arrival-direction distribution of the ultra-high-energy cosmic rays along the supergalactic plane above $20\,\text{EeV}$, and an update in the search for magnetically-induced signatures in the arrival directions. Furthermore, we p…

Online Budget-Feasible Mechanism Design with Predictions
Augmenting the input of algorithms with predictions is an algorithm design paradigm that suggests leveraging a (possibly erroneous) prediction to improve worst-case performance guarantees when the prediction is perfect (consistency), while also providing a performance guarantee when the prediction fails (robustness). Recently, Xu and Lu [2022] and Agrawal et al. [2024] proposed to consider settings with strategic agents under this framework. In this paper, we initiate the study of budget-feasib…

Thoughts on Fosstodon
I'm moving to hachyderm.io. Here's the background... When I left Twitter for Mastodon in late 2022, I chose fosstodon.org as my home. I appreciated the open source focus and it seemed like a well-run instance that would be around for a while. I also signed up as a monthly patron, to support the admin team and help keep the instance sustainable. In recent days, there has been a minor furor across the fediverse related to one of the moderators at…

Revisiting Bourgain's probabilistic construction of solutions to the 2-$d$ cubic NLS
In a seminal paper (1996), Bourgain proved invariance of the Gibbs measure for the defocusing cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation on the two-dimensional torus by constructing local-in-time solutions in a probabilistic manner. In this note, we revisit and streamline his argument, using the random tensor estimate developed by Deng, Nahmod, and Yue (2022).

What's up with the Production of E-Fuels in Chile?
In 2022, Siemens Energy, Porsche, and HIF inaugurated a pilot plant for the production of E-Methanol and E-Gasoline in southern Chile. The Haru Oni plant was intended to be just the beginning — with plans for large-scale production just a few years later. However, it does not look like that will ever happen.
