Weak Existence for Degenerate Distribution Dependent SDEs with multiplicative Noise -- a pathwise regularization approach
We establish the existence of weak solutions to a class of distribution-dependent stochastic differential equations (DDSDEs) with possibly degenerate multiplicative noise and singular coefficients. Extending the weak existence techniques introduced by Bechtold & Hofmanova 2023 to a distribution-dependent framework, we utilize pathwise averaging and local-time decomposition methods to show how irregular noise effectively regularizes analytical challenges associated with degeneracies in stochasti…

The generalized Turán number for K_3 in graphs without suspensions of a path on five vertices
Given graphs $H$ and $F$, the generalized Turán number $\ex(n, H, F)$ is defined as the maximum number of copies of $H$ in an $n$-vertex graph that contains no copy of $F$. The suspension $\widehat{F}$ of a graph $F$ is obtained by adding a new vertex that is adjacent to every vertex of $F$. Mubayi and Mukherjee (2023, DM) conjectured that $\ex(n, K_3, \widehat{P_k})=\left\lfloor \frac{k-2}{2}\right\rfloor \cdot \frac{n^2}{8}+o(n^2)$, where $P_k$ is a path on $k\ge 4$ vertices. Using…

Asteroseismology of the G8 subgiant beta Aquilae with SONG-Tenerife, SONG-Australia and TESS
We present radial velocities of the G8 subgiant star beta Aql obtained in 2022 and 2023 using SONG-Tenerife and SONG-Australia. We also analysed a sector of TESS photometry that overlapped with the 2022 SONG data. We processed the time series to assign weights and to remove bad data points. The power spectrum clearly shows solar-like oscillations centred at 430 muHz. The TESS data show the oscillations at lower signal-to-noise because photometric measurements are much more affected by the granu…

Automating Thematic Review of Prevention of Future Deaths Reports: Replicating the ONS Child Suicide Study using Large Language Models
Prevention of Future Deaths (PFD) reports, issued by coroners in England and Wales, flag systemic hazards that may lead to further loss of life. Analysis of these reports has previously been constrained by the manual effort required to identify and code relevant cases. In 2025, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) published a national thematic review of child-suicide PFD reports ($\leq$ 18 years), identifying 37 cases from January 2015 to November 2023 - a process based entirely on manual c…

I also have the tabs displays horizontally at the top of the window (in both Separate or Compact mode).

The two giant protoplanets directly imaged in the dust-depleted cavity of PDS 70 offer a unique opportunity to study ongoing planet formation. Both planets have been detected in infrared thermal emission and in H$α$, indicating active accretion. We calibrate and analyse archival ALMA Band 6 and 7 observations of PDS 70 from 2019, 2021, and 2023 to search for circumplanetary material and assess its motion.

Simultaneous Rational Function Codes: Improved Analysis Beyond Half the Minimum Distance with Multiplicities and Poles
In this paper, we extend the work of Abbondati et al. (2024) on decoding simultaneous rational function codes by addressing two important scenarios: multiplicities and poles (zeros of denominators). First, we generalize previous results to rational codes with multiplicities by considering evaluations with multi-precision. Then, using the hybrid model from Guerrini et al. (2023), we extend our approach to vectors of rational functions that may present poles. Our contributions include: a rigorous…

The GW signals targeted by this search are the so-called "long-duration" (> 1 s) transients expected from a variety of astrophysical processes, including non-axisymmetric deformations in magnetars or eccentric binary coalescences.

Spectral Turán problem of non-bipartite graphs: Forbidden books
A book graph $B_{r+1}$ is a set of $r+1$ triangles with a common edge, where $r\geq0$ is an integer. Zhai and Lin [J. Graph Theory 102 (2023) 502-520] proved that for $n\geq\frac{13}{2}r$, if $G$ is a $B_{r+1}$-free graph of order $n$, then $ρ(G)\leqρ(T_{n,2})$, with equality if and only if $G\cong T_{n,2}$. Note that the extremal graph $T_{n,2}$ is bipartite. Motivated by the above elegant result, we investigate the spectral Turán problem of non-bipartite $B_{r+1}$-free graphs of order $n$.…
