Three binary-source binary-lens microlensing events from the 2024 microlensing campaign
We investigated microlensing events detected by the OGLE and KMTNet surveys during the 2024 observing season, focusing on those that exhibit very complex anomaly features. Through this analysis, we found that the light curves of three events including OGLE-2024-BLG-0657, KMT-2024-BLG-2017, and KMT-2024-BLG-2480 cannot be readily interpreted using standard three-body lensing models such as a binary lens with a single source (2L1S) or a single lens with a binary source (1L2S).

Alexandrov estimates for polynomial operators by determinant majorization
We obtain estimates on the supremum, infimum and oscillation of solutions for a wide class of inhomogeneous fully nonlinear elliptic equations on Euclidean domains where the differential operator is an I-central Garding-Dirichlet operator in the sense of Harvey-Lawson (2024). The argument combines two recent results: an Alexandrov estimate of Payne-Redaelli (2025) for locally semiconvex functions based on the area formula and a determinant majorization estimate of Harvey-Lawson (2024).

Teasing apart definitional equivalence
In a recent paper, Enayat and Le lyk [2024] show that second order arithmetic and countable set theory are not definitionally equivalent. It is well known that these theories are biinterpretable. Thus, we have a pair of natural theories that llustrate a meaningful difference between definitional equivalence and bi-interpretability. This is particularly interesting given that Visser and Friedman [2014] have shown that a wide class of natural foundational theories in mathematics are such that if …

Cholesky decomposition for symmetric matrices over finite fields
Inspired by the seminal work of André-Louis Cholesky -- whose contributions remain crucial even after more than a century in broader sciences -- Cooper, Hanna and Whitlatch (2024) developed a theory of positive matrices over finite fields, and Khare and Vishwakarma (2025) described a general Cholesky factorization for a family of the dense cone of Hermitian matrices over real/complex fields, whose leading principal minors (LPM) are nonzero.

Forecasting Inflation Based on Hybrid Integration of the Riemann Zeta Function and the FPAS Model (FPAS + $ζ$): Cyclical Flexibility, Socio-Economic Challenges and Shocks, and Comparative Analysis of Models
Inflation forecasting is a core socio-economic challenge in modern macroeconomic modeling, especially when cyclical, structural, and shock factors act simultaneously. Traditional systems such as FPAS and ARIMA often struggle with cyclical asymmetry and unexpected fluctuations. This study proposes a hybrid framework (FPAS + $ζ$) that integrates a structural macro model (FPAS) with cyclical components derived from the Riemann zeta function $ζ(1/2 + i t)$. Using Georgia's macro data (2005-2024),…

Hausdorff dimension of the Wedding cake type surfaces
In this paper, we study the Hausdorff dimension of fractal interpolation surfaces (FISs) over a triangular domain. These FISs are known as `wedding cake surfaces'. These surfaces are the attractor of some deterministic self-affine iterated function systems (IFS) on $\mathbb{R}^3$ generated by a fractal interpolation algorithm. Due to the recent seminal result of Rapaport (Adv. Math. 449 (2024) 109734), the dimension theory of self-affine IFS on $\mathbb{R}^3$ is known whenever the IFS is strong…

The repetition threshold of a class of sequences is the smallest number $r$ such that a sequence from the class contains no repetition with exponent $> r$. We focus on the class $\mathcal{C}_d$ of $d$-ary sequences rich in palindromes. In 2020, Currie, Mol, and Rampersad determined the repetition threshold for $\mathcal{C}_2$.

However, the absence of explicit basis functions has left these spaces largely inaccessible for practical computation. In parallel, multi…
