A class number problem for imaginary cyclic number fields of 2-power degrees
In 2024, M. K. Ram proved that the class number of an imaginary cyclic quartic number field is never equal to a prime $p\equiv 3\pmod 4$. Here we greatly generalize this result to the case of the non-quadratic imaginary cyclic number fields of $2$-power degrees and not necessarily prime class numbers.

Evolution of wartime discourse on Telegram: A comparative study of Ukrainian and Russian policymakers' communication before and after Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine
This study examines elite-driven political communication on Telegram during the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian war, the first large-scale European war in the social media era. Using a unique dataset of Telegram public posts from Ukrainian and Russian policymakers (2019-2024), we analyze changes in communication volume, thematic content, and actor engagement following Russia's 2022 full-scale invasion. Our findings show a sharp increase in Telegram activity after the invasion, particularly among ruling…

Seasonal Variability of Snow Cover and Impact on Albedo and Thermal Properties in the Antarctic Marginal Ice Zone
Snow cover plays a critical yet often underrepresented role in shaping the thermodynamic behavior of Antarctic sea ice. In this study, we investigate the seasonal variability of snow distribution and its impact on surface albedo and energy fluxes across the marginal ice zone (MIZ), using a unique dataset from five shipborne expeditions conducted between 2019 and 2024. High-resolution visible and infrared imagery, combined with field observations and meteorological data, reveal that even modest …

Kotz, Levermann and Wenz (Nature, 2024) statistically analyzed economic and climate data, finding significant projected damages until mid-century and a divergence in outcomes between high- and low-emission scenarios thereafter. We find that their analysis underestimates uncertainty owing to large, unaccounted-for spatial correlations on the subnational level, rendering their results statistically insignificant when properly corrected…

Uniform ergodicity of geodesic slice sampling
Geodesic slice sampling, introduced in Durmus et al., 2024, is a slice sampling based Markov chain Monte Carlo method for approximate sampling from distributions on Riemannian manifolds.

The constants in our convergence bound are available explicitly, and we investigate their dependence on the hyperparameters of the geodesic slice sampler, the target d…

The dimension of particular $p$-primary torsion subgroups
In this paper we improve upon bounds on the functions $G$ and $H$, due to (Silverberg, 1992), and the function $Φ$, due to (Ozeki, 2024). These functions are of interest in the study of the dimension of $p$-primary torsion subgroups of Mordell--Weil groups of CM abelian varieties over certain infinite extensions of $p$-adic fields.

SpaceX is seeking approval to nearly double rocket launches from California's Vandenberg Space Force Base -- to 95 per year,
putting the company on a collision course with the California Coastal Commission
over concerns about wildlife, noise, and state oversight
That represents a sharp climb from early 2024,
when SpaceX, owned by billionaire Elon Musk and working with the U.S. Air Force,
agreed to only six launches a year under a deal with the commission.

"A federal appeals court on Monday refused to throw out an $83.3 million jury verdict against U.S. President Donald Trump for damaging the reputation of the writer E. Jean Carroll in 2019 when he denied her rape claim.
The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan rejected Trump's argument that the January 2024 verdict should be overturned because he deserved presidential immunity from Carroll's lawsuit."

Comment on "Mineral-water reactions in Earth's mantle: Predictions from Born theory and ab initio molecular dynamics" by Fowler et al. 2024 (Geochim. Cosmochim. Acta 372, 111-123)
This comment addresses discrepancies in dielectric constant calculations of water under extreme conditions (~10 GPa and 1000 K) between Fowler et al.'s recent study [Geochim. Cosmochim. Acta 372, 111-123 (2024)] and the earlier work by Pan et al. [Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 110, 6646-6650 (2013)]. Through reproduced ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations using the CP2K code with extended duration and identical system size, we rigorously validate that Pan et al.'s original results (39.4) ar…

Last week, the Department of Justice’s Board of Immigration Appeals ruled that
people who enter the country without authorization must be detained throughout their removal proceedings
-- a process that can take years.
The decision stems from the case of Jonathan Javier Yajure Hurtado,
a Venezuelan citizen who entered the United States in 2022.
In 2024, he was granted Temporary Protected Status, which expired in April;
He was subsequently arrested.

Der Juli 2025 war weltweit der drittwärmste seit Beginn der Aufzeichnungen.
Die globale Durchschnittstemperatur lag 0,45 °C über dem Juli-Mittel von 1991–2020 und 1,25 °C über dem vorindustriellen Niveau.
Damit blieb der Monat knapp unter der 1,5-Grad-Schwelle. Im 12-Monats-Zeitraum August 2024 bis Juli 2025 lag die globale Temperatur im Schnitt bereits 1,53 °C darüber.

A November 2024 report from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) reflects staggering numbers:
There are an estimated 96 million #birders in the United States
—more than a third of U.S. adults
—who together spent more than $107 billion in 2022.
In total, that’s more money than the 2022 gross domestic product of New Hampshire (and 10 other U.S. states).
