Magnetic octupole Hall effect in heavy transition metals
d-wave altermagnets have the magnetic octupole as their primary order parameter. A recent study [Han et al. arXiv 2409.14423 (2024)] demonstrated that magnetic octupole current can induce Néel vector dynamics. Therefore, identifying materials that can efficiently generate a magnetic octupole current is essential. In this paper, we investigate the magnetic octupole Hall effect in 4d and 5d transition metals. By employing atomic magnetic octupole operators, we calculate the magnetic octupole Hal…

A conjecture on the tensor ideal for an elementary p-group generated by the restriction of a Steinberg module
In previous work (Coulembier--Flake 2024), the authors conjectured that the tensor product of an arbitrary finite-dimensional modular representation of an elementary abelian $p$-group with the biggest non-projective restricted Steinberg $SL_2$-module is a restricted tilting module. We showed that the validity of the conjecture would have interesting implications in the theory of tensor categories in positive characteristic, in particular, with respect to the classification of incompressible sym…

Climatology of Mars Topside Ionosphere during Solar Cycles 24 and 25 using MAVEN Dataset of 2015-2024
The Mars ambient space environment evolves with the varying solar activity. Understanding the Martian space environment, particularly the topside ionosphere across different phases of Solar Cycles (SC) 24 \& 25 remains a key research gap in planetary ionospheric science. In this study, we utilized the NASA Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN (MAVEN) mission data (150-500 km) from Martian years 32-38 (2015-2024) during solar quiet-time. This study investigated the behavior of topside ionosphe…

Gröbner-Shirshov bases of Rota-Baxter algebra of weight $λ$ with spectrum lying in $\{0,-λ\}$
It is known that if $A$ is a finite-dimensional unital algebra equipped with a Rota-Baxter operator $R$ of weight $λ$, then spectrum of $R$ is a subset of $\{0,-λ\}$. We are interested on finding all consequences of the Rota-Baxter relation and the relation of the form $R^k(R+λ{\rm id})^l = 0$. In 2024, H.~Qiu, S. Zheng, Y. Dan solved this problem for $k = l = 1$ and $λ\neq0$. We find a Gröbner-Shirshov basis of the ideal generated by these two relations in general case.

Scale-Dependent Multifractality in Bitcoin Realised Volatility: Implications for Rough Volatility Modelling
We assess the applicability of rough volatility models to Bitcoin realised volatility using the normalised p-variation framework of Cont and Das (2024). Applying this model free estimator to high-frequency Bitcoin data from 2017 to 2024 across multiple sampling resolutions, we find that the normalised statistic remains strictly negative throughout, precluding the estimation of a valid roughness index. Stationarity tests and robustness checks reveal no significant evidence of non-stationarity or…

Investigation of resonant layer response in electron viscosity regime
We present a supplementary study of previous work in Waybright and Park [Phys. Plasmas 31, 022502 (2024)] which demonstrates a substantial effect of electron viscosity on the resonant layer response to non-axisymmetric magnetic perturbations. A main refinement is to include a curl element of electron viscosity in the generalized Ohm's law. The refinement reveals a resonant layer response in the Electron Viscosity (EV) regime corresponding to slowly rotating and highly viscous plasmas.

Large SEPs can cause adverse space weather hazard to humans technology and such events are especially associated with halo coronal mass ejections (CMEs). But in turn, a significant portion of halo-CMEs are not associated with large SEPs. The objective of this study is to gain an understanding of the source region distinctions between halo-CMEs in SEP and No-SEP events. Among the 176 halo-CMEs observed from 2010-2024, we screen out 45 large SEP events and 131 No-SEP events from this dataset. It …

The relationship between swing metrics and swing outcomes is confounded by the batter's pitch recognition. We introduce a framework for interpreting bat tra…

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. While existing literature documents the impact of LLMs on individuals' beliefs, limited work explores how LLMs affect social networks. We address this gap with a pre-registered experiment (N = 1265) around the 2024 US presidential election, where we empirically explore the impact of …

Coronal dimmings from active region 13664 during the May 2024 solar energetic events
Coronal dimmings are regions of transiently reduced brightness in extreme ultraviolet (EUV) and soft X-ray (SXR) emissions associated with coronal mass ejections (CMEs), providing key insights into CME initiation and early evolution. During May 2024, AR 13664 was among the most flare-productive regions in recent decades, generating 55 M-class and 12 X-class flares along with multiple Earth-directed CMEs. The rapid succession of these CMEs triggered the most intense geomagnetic storm in two deca…

Becoming Immutable: How Ethereum is Made
We analyze blocks proposed for inclusion in the Ethereum blockchain during 8 minutes on December 3rd, 2024. Our dataset comprises 38 winning blocks, 15,097 proposed blocks, 10,793 unique transactions, and 2,380,014 transaction-block pairings. We find that exclusive transactions--transactions present only in blocks proposed by a single builder--account for 85% of the fees paid by all transactions included in winning blocks. We also find that a surprisingly large number of user transactions are d…

Subjective Experience in AI Systems: What Do AI Researchers and the Public Believe?
We surveyed 582 AI researchers who have published in leading AI venues and 838 nationally representative US participants about their views on the potential development of AI systems with subjective experience and how such systems should be treated and governed. When asked to estimate the chances that such systems will exist on specific dates, the median responses were 1% (AI researchers) and 5% (public) by 2024, 25% and 30% by 2034, and 70% and 60% by 2100, respectively. The median member of th…

Dynamics of Subsurface Flows in Solar Active Regions During the May 2024 Storm
In May 2024, the Sun exhibited intense magnetic activity, marked by numerous high-intensity flares resulting from the interaction and merging of NOAA ARs 13664 and 13668 in the southern hemisphere and AR 13663 in the northern hemisphere. Notably, AR 13664 displayed an extended lifetime, remaining visible after a full solar rotation and continuing to produce significant flaring activity. In this study, we investigate the evolution of sub-photospheric plasma flows associated with these ARs during…

A Comprehensive Analysis of COVID-19 Detection Using Bangladeshi Data and Explainable AI
COVID-19 is a rapidly spreading and highly infectious virus which has triggered a global pandemic, profoundly affecting millions across the world. The pandemic has introduced unprecedented challenges in public health, economic stability, and societal structures, necessitating the implementation of extensive and multifaceted health interventions globally. It had a tremendous impact on Bangladesh by April 2024, with around 29,495 fatalities and more than 2 million confirmed cases. This study focu…

Continued Photometric Monitoring Supports Long-Term Dynamical Evolution in the Young Binary Star-Disk System KH 15D
We present photometric time series data spanning 2018-2024 that show the effects of temporal dynamics in the binary system KH 15D, a member of the NGC 2264 star forming region. This source exhibits complex eclipsing behavior due to a precessing circumbinary disk or ring that is slightly inclined relative to the orbital plane of the binary. Using g-band and r-band observations from the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) over seven observing seasons, we follow the evolution of the KH 15D lightcurve …
