Quantitative stability for the conformally invariant Chang-Gui inequality on the exponentiation of functions on the sphere
In this work, we focus on a recent variant of the Trudinger-Moser-Onofri inequality introduced by S. Y. Alice Chang and Changfeng Gui \cite{CG-2023}: \begin{align*} α\int_{\mathbb{S}^2}|\nabla_{\mathbb{S}^2}u|^2 {\rm d}ω+2 \int_{\mathbb{S}^2} u {\rm d}ω-\frac{1}{2}\ln\left[\left(\int_{\mathbb{s}^2}e^{2u}{\rm d}ω\right)^2-\sum_{i=1}^3\left(\int_{\mathbb{s}^2}ω_i e^{2u}{\rm d} ω\right)^2\right] \geq 0 \end{align*} holds on $H^1(\mathbb{S}^2)$ if and only if $α\geq \frac{2}{3}$.

On the generator graph of a cyclic group
In this paper, we continue the study of the generator graph of a group. In 2023, Tacbobo [9] defined the generator graph of a nontrivial group to be the graph whose vertices are the elements of the group, with two vertices being adjacent if at least one of them is a generator of the group. Building on the properties established in [9], we prove that the diameter of the generator graph of a cyclic group is at most $2$. Furthermore, we present explicit formulas for some topological indices of the…

The covering radius of Butson Hadamard codes for the homogeneous metric
Butson matrices are complex Hadamard matrices with entries in the complex roots of unity of given order. There is an interesting code in phase space related to this matrix (Armario et al. 2023). We study the covering radius of Butson Hadamard codes for the homogeneous metric, a metric defined uniquely, up to scaling, for a commutative ring alphabet that is Quasi Frobenius. An upper bound is derived by an orthogonal array argument. A lower bound relies on the existence of bent sequences in the s…

Content and Engagement Trends in COVID-19 YouTube Videos: Evidence from the Late Pandemic
This work investigated about 10,000 COVID-19-related YouTube videos published between January 2023 and October 2024 to evaluate how temporal, lexical, linguistic, and structural factors influenced engagement during the late pandemic period. Publishing activity showed consistent weekday effects: in the first window, average views peaked on Mondays at 92,658; in the second, on Wednesdays at 115,479; and in the third, on Fridays at 84,874, reflecting a shift in audience attention toward mid- and l…

Are science exhibitions for everyone? Accessibility aspects of the CERN Science Gateway exhibitions
CERN's new flagship education and outreach centre, Science Gateway, opened its doors to the public in autumn 2023. Through a combination of immersive scenography with interactive exhibits and real scientific objects, its permanent exhibitions address the organisation's particle physics research and how this knowledge applies to other scientific fields and the visitor's everyday life. While in Discover CERN visitors learn about the accelerator and detector technologies at CERN, Our Universe cove…

Factorized electron-nuclear dynamics with effective complex potential: on-the-fly implementation for H$_2^+$ in a laser field
Conventional theoretical and computational approaches to fully coupled quantum molecular dynamics, i.e. when both the electrons and nuclei are treated as quantum-mechanical particles, are impractical for all but the smallest chemical systems. In this paper we describe the formalism and implementation of the Factorized Electron Nuclear Dynamics (FENDy) with effective complex potential [J. Chem. Theory Comput. 19 (2023), pp 1393-1408], which goes beyond the established framework of the Born-Oppen…

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…
