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'…

Correcting sample selection bias with categorical outcomes
In this paper, we propose a method for correcting sample selection bias when the outcome of interest is categorical, such as occupational choice, health status, or field of study. Classical approaches to sample selection rely on strong parametric distributional assumptions, which may be restrictive in practice. While the recent framework of Chernozhukov et al. (2023) offers a nonparametric identification using a local Gaussian representation (LGR) that holds for any bivariate joint distribution…

Reasonably favorable poll, 4 days before the Dutch elections.
Wilders' PVV going downhill, although still the largest. Current right-far-right coalition partners together polling at 46 out of 150 seats, while they had 88 in the previous elections (2023), losing half of their support in 2 years.

Solar Low Energy X-ray Spectrometer on board Aditya-L1: Ground Calibration and In-flight Performance
The Solar Low-Energy X-ray Spectrometer (SoLEXS) on board India's Aditya-L1 mission was launched on 2 September 2023 and commenced solar observations on 13 December 2023 following successful aperture cover deployment. Operating from the Sun-Earth L1 Lagrange point, SoLEXS has been providing continuous Sun-as-a-star soft X-ray spectroscopy across 2-22 keV with 170 eV resolution at 5.9 keV and 1-second temporal cadence since 6 January 2024. The instrument employs two Silicon Drift Detectors with …

I love it when kids get told "no" and plow ahead anyway. #Iowa #bannedbooks #libraries

When books were being pulled from Iowa classrooms, these teens started an after-school club to read them
Three Iowa City West high schoolers founded a book club that reads some of the country's most frequently banned books after a state law removing books with sexual content was signed in 2023. Two years later, many of the books have been reshelved and parts of the law can't be enforced.

Localized and weighted versions of extremal problems
Malec and Tompkins (EUJC, 2023) considered the localized versions of Turán-type problems, and proved a localized theorem on Erdős-Gallai Theorem on paths. Zhao and Zhang (JGT, 2025) gave a long proof of a localized version of Erdős-Gallai Theorem on cycles. In this paper, we consider several types of generalization of Turán-type problems, that is, localized versions, weighted versions, and generalized Turán-type problems, and their connectedness. We first present very short proofs for re…
