Correspondence among congruence families for generalized Frobenius partitions via modular permutations

Correspondence among congruence families for generalized Frobenius partitions via modular permutations
In 2024, Garvan, Sellers and Smoot discovered a remarkable symmetry in the families of congruences for generalized Frobenius partitions $cψ_{2,0}$ and $cψ_{2,1}$. They also emphasized that the considerations for the general case of $cψ_{k,β}$ are important for future work. In this paper, for each $k$ we construct a vector-valued modular form for the generating functions of $cψ_{k,β}$, and determine an equivalence relation among all $β$. Within each equivalence class, we can identify modu…

In a few minutes LoftyAssist is about to have its 500th deployment to prod since November 11th of 2024. That averages out as 2 deployments per day. Obviously didn't push stuff to prod daily there, but some days I can just get cranking.
When I work on the systems, I want them to be instantly deployable. I know I have it easy because my systems are not mission critical, but there are real users behind them managing their money with it. So it is important not to fail, be buggy, etc.

I rode my bike 600 miles in 2024 and it's June 1st, 2025 and I'm over 500 miles for this year!
My goal for 2025 is 1,000 miles which I think is still doable as long as I don't have any injuries (sigh) and nothing else goes wrong.

Personalized Large Language Models Can Increase the Belief Accuracy of Social Networks
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly involved in shaping public understanding on contested issues. This has led to substantial discussion about the potential of LLMs to reinforce or correct misperceptions.

Decay of correlation for edge colorings when $q>3Δ$
We examine various perspectives on the decay of correlation for the uniform distribution over proper $q$-edge colorings of graphs with maximum degree $Δ$. First, we establish the coupling independence property when $q\ge 3Δ$ for general graphs. Together with the work of Chen et al.

100,000 Crab giant pulses at 215 MHz detected with an SKA-Low prototype station
We report detection and analysis of the largest low-frequency (200 - 231.25 MHz) sample of Crab giant pulses (GPs) reported in the literature. In total about 95000 GPs were detected. The observations were performed in 2024/2025 with the EDA2, a prototype station of the SKA-Low telescope. The fluence distribution of GPs in the entire sample is very well characterised with a single power law (no flattening at higher fluences) N(F) $\propto$ F$^α$, where $α= -3.17\pm0.02$ for all GPs, and $α_{M…

A Bayesian analysis of home advantage in professional squash
We estimate the effect of playing in one's home country in professional squash using a Bayesian hierarchical model applied to men's and women's Professional Squash Association matches from 2018-2024. The model incorporates players' world rankings and whether they are competing in their home country. Using margin of victory in games as our outcome, we estimate that home advantage adds 0.4 games for men and 0.3 games for women to the expected margin, with standard errors of 0.1. For evenly matche…

Sunrise III: Overview of Observatory and Instruments
In July 2024, Sunrise completed its third successful science flight. The Sunrise III observatory had been upgraded significantly after the two previous successful flights in 2009 and 2013. Three completely new instruments focus on the small-scale physical processes and their complex interaction from the deepest observable layers in the photosphere up to chromospheric heights. Previously poorly explored spectral regions and lines are exploited to paint a three-dimensional picture of the solar at…

All-sky search for individual Primordial Black Hole bursts with LHAASO
Primordial Black Holes~(PBHs) are hypothetical black holes with a wide range of masses that formed in the early universe. As a result, they may play an important cosmological role and provide a unique probe of the early universe. A PBH with an initial mass of approximately $10^{15}$~g is expected to explode today in a final burst of Hawking radiation. In this work, we conduct an all-sky search for individual PBH burst events using the data collected from March 2021 to July 2024 by the Water Che…

On quantum ergodicity for higher dimensional cat maps modulo prime powers
A discrete model of quantum ergodicity of linear maps generated by symplectic matrices $A \in \mathrm{Sp}(2d,\mathbb{Z})$ modulo an integer $N\ge 1$, has been studied for $d=1$ and almost all $N$ by P. Kurlberg and Z. Rudnick (2001). Their result has been strengthened by J. Bourgain (2005) and subsequently by A. Ostafe, I. E. Shparlinski, and J. F. Voloch (2023). For arbitrary $d$ this has been studied by P. Kurlberg, A. Ostafe, Z. Rudnick and I. E. Shparlinski (2024). The corresponding equidis…

Today in “silly billboards in my community”. The first is by the very “truthful” (/s) people at LNGfacts.ca. Of course, the word "LNGfacts" does not appear anywhere in the dictionary because it's made up nonsense. Just like the "fact" that LNG “makes Canada stronger”... like we're going to win the war in Ukraine with our LNG or fend off #TheAmericanFascist. (Note: LNG is a tool of fascists not the other way around)
This billboard used to say “BC LNG WILL REDUCE GLOBAL EMISSIONS”... with a link to ‘bclnghelps.ca' but that was so clearly a lie that they were forced by the courts to remove it and delete their website, but I made a website instead in their honour called: bclngburns.ca
Back to today's billbboard though... Here's a fact from February 2025: “European LNG imports fell by 19% in 2024 as gas consumption reached an 11-year low, thanks, in part, to renewable energy additions.” (#BCPoli #BCLNG #ClimateAction #ClimateEmergency #ExtinctionRebellion #LNG #NaturalGas #Europe #EU #Ukraine #Russia
