Asymptotic formula for the sum of a prime and a square-full number in intervals shorter than $X^{1/2}$
Let $R(N)$ be the number of representations of $N$ as a sum of a prime and a square-full number weighted with logarithmic function. In $2024$, the author and Y. Suzuki obtained an asymptotic formula for the sum of $R(N)$ over positive integers $N$ in a short interval ($X$, $X+H$] for $X^{\frac{1}{2}+\varepsilon} \le H < X^{1-\varepsilon}$. In this article, we improve the range of $H$, that is, we prove the same asymptotic formula for $X^{\frac{32-4\sqrt{15}}{49}+\varepsilon} \le H \le X^{1- \va…

Simultaneous Rational Number Codes: Decoding Beyond Half the Minimum Distance with Multiplicities and Bad Primes
In this paper, we extend the work of (Abbondati et al., 2024) on decoding simultaneous rational number codes by addressing two important scenarios: multiplicities and the presence of bad primes (divisors of denominators). First, we generalize previous results to multiplicity rational codes by considering modular reductions with respect to prime power moduli. Then, using hybrid analysis techniques, we extend our approach to vectors of fractions that may present bad primes. Our contributions incl…

Atomic and inter-atomic orbital magnetization induced in SrTiO$_3$ by chiral phonons
An unexpectedly large transient magnetization induced by circularly polarized ferroelectric phonons was recently observed in a nonmagnetic insulator SrTiO3 [Nature 628, 534 (2024)]. We use a minimal molecular orbital model to demonstrate two electronic contributions to this effect. An atomic orbital contribution arises from the pumping of orbital angular momentum of Ti by chiral motion of coordinating oxygen atoms. An additional inter-atomic contribution is associated with the transient circula…

Thinking Beyond Visibility: A Near-Optimal Policy Framework for Locally Interdependent Multi-Agent MDPs
Decentralized Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes (Dec-POMDPs) are known to be NEXP-Complete and intractable to solve. However, for problems such as cooperative navigation, obstacle avoidance, and formation control, basic assumptions can be made about local visibility and local dependencies. The work DeWeese and Qu 2024 formalized these assumptions in the construction of the Locally Interdependent Multi-Agent MDP. In this setting, it establishes three closed-form policies that are tr…

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…

We present a new Correlation Clustering algorithm for a dynamic setting where nodes are added one at a time. In this model, proposed by Cohen-Addad, Lattanzi, Maggiori, and Parotsidis (ICML 2024), the algorithm uses database queries to access the input graph and updates the clustering as each new node is added. Our algorithm has the amortized update time of $O_ε(\log^{O(1)}(n))$. Its approximation factor is $20+\varepsilon$, which is a substantial improvement over the approximation factor of t…

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.

On the $l_\infty$-analog of Algebraic Connectivity
The algebraic connectivity $a(G)$ of a graph $G$ is defined as the second smallest eigenvalue of its Laplacian matrix $L(G)$. It also admits a variational characterization as the minimum of a quadratic form associated with $L(G)$, subject to $l_2$-norm constraints. In 2024, Andrade and Dahl investigated an analogous parameter $γ(G)$, defined using the $l_\infty$-norm instead of the $l_2$-norm. They demonstrated that $γ(G)$ can be computed in polynomial time using linear programming. In this a…

LLMxCPG: Context-Aware Vulnerability Detection Through Code Property Graph-Guided Large Language Models
Software vulnerabilities present a persistent security challenge, with over 25,000 new vulnerabilities reported in the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) database in 2024 alone. While deep learning based approaches show promise for vulnerability detection, recent studies reveal critical limitations in terms of accuracy and robustness: accuracy drops by up to 45% on rigorously verified datasets, and performance degrades significantly under simple code modifications. This paper presents L…

Hacking Kia: Remotely Controlling Cars With Just a License Plate
On June 11th, 2024, we discovered a set of vulnerabilities in Kia vehicles that allowed remote control over key functions using only a license plate. These attacks could be executed remotely on any hardware-equipped vehicle in about 30 seconds, regardless of whether it had an active Kia Connect subscription.

Probing the Turbulent Corona and Heliosphere Using Radio Spectral Imaging Observation during the Solar Conjunction of Crab Nebula
Measuring plasma parameters in the upper solar corona and inner heliosphere is challenging because of the region's weakly emissive nature and inaccessibility for most in situ observations. Radio imaging of broadened and distorted background astronomical radio sources during solar conjunction can provide unique constraints for the coronal material along the line of sight. In this study, we present radio spectral imaging observations of the Crab Nebula (Tau A) from June 9 to June 22, 2024 when it…

A metrization theorem for edge-end spaces of infinite graphs
We prove that the edge-end space of an infinite graph is metrizable if and only if it is first-countable. This strengthens a recent result by Aurichi, Magalhaes Jr.\ and Real (2024). Our central graph-theoretic tool is the use of tree-cut decompositions, introduced by Wollan (2015) as a variation of tree decompositions that is based on edge cuts instead of vertex separations. In particular, we give a new, elementary proof for Kurkofka's result (2022) that every infinite graph has a tree-cut d…

Quantum Boltzmann Machines using Parallel Annealing for Medical Image Classification
Exploiting the fact that samples drawn from a quantum annealer inherently follow a Boltzmann-like distribution, annealing-based Quantum Boltzmann Machines (QBMs) have gained increasing popularity in the quantum research community. While they harbor great promises for quantum speed-up, their usage currently stays a costly endeavor, as large amounts of QPU time are required to train them. This limits their applicability in the NISQ era. Following the idea of Noè et al. (2024), who tried to allev…

The nebular phase of SN 2024ggi: a low-mass progenitor with no signs of interaction
Context: SN 2024ggi is a Type II supernova (SN) discovered in the nearby galaxy NGC 3621 (D $\approx6.7\pm0.d$ Mpc) on 2024 April 03.21 UT. Its proximity enabled a detailed investigation of the SN's properties and its progenitor star. This work focuses on the optical evolution of SN 2024ggi at the nebular phase. Aims: We investigate the progenitor properties and possible asymmetries in the ejecta by studying the nebular phase evolution between days 287 and 400 after the explosion. Methods: We p…

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…
