Multimode rotationally symmetric bosonic codes from group-theoretic construction
We introduce a new family of multi-mode, rotationally symmetric bosonic codes inspired by the group-theoretic framework of [Phys. Rev. Lett. 133, 240603 (2024)]. Such a construction inverts the traditional paradigm of code design by identifying codes from the requirement that a group of chosen logical gates should be implemented by means of physically simple logical operations, such as linear optics. Leveraging previously unexplored degrees of freedom within this framework, our construction pre…

Greening Schoolyards and Urban Property Values: A Systematic Review of Geospatial and Statistical Evidence
1.1 Background Parks and the greening of schoolyards are examples of urban green spaces that have been praised for their environmental, social, and economic benefits in cities all over the world. More studies show that living near green spaces is good for property values. However, there is still disagreement about how strong and consistent these effects are in different cities (Browning et al., 2023; Grunewald et al., 2024; Teo et al., 2023). 1.2 Purpose This systematic review is the first to b…

Symmetry oscillations sensitivity to SU(2)-symmetry breaking in quantum mixtures
In one-dimensional bosonic quantum mixtures with SU(2)-symmetry breaking Hamiltonian, the dynamical evolution explores different particle exchange symmetry sectors. For the case of infinitely strong intra-species repulsion, the hallmark of such symmetry oscillations are time modulations of the momentum distribution [Phys. Rev. Lett. 133, 183402 (2024)], an observable routinely accessed in experiments with ultracold atoms. In this work we show that this phenomenon is robust in strongly interacti…

How to Retrieve Examples in In-context Learning to Improve Conversational Emotion Recognition using Large Language Models?
Large language models (LLMs) have enabled a wide variety of real-world applications in various domains. However, creating a high-performing application with high accuracy remains challenging, particularly for subjective tasks like emotion recognition.

Superimposed DMRS for Spectrally Efficient 6G Uplink Multi-User OFDM: Classical vs AI/ML Receivers
Fifth-generation (5G) systems utilize orthogonal demodulation reference signals (DMRS) to enable channel estimation at the receiver. These orthogonal DMRS-also referred to as pilots-are effective in avoiding pilot contamination and interference from both the user's own data and that of others. However, this approach incurs a significant overhead, as a substantial portion of the time-frequency resources must be reserved for pilot transmission. Moreover, the overhead increases with the number of …

Benchmark-Neutral Risk-Minimization for insurance products and nonreplicable claims
In this paper we study the pricing and hedging of nonreplicable contingent claims, such as long-term insurance contracts like variable annuities. Our approach is based on the benchmark-neutral pricing framework of Platen (2024), which differs from the classical benchmark approach by using the stock growth optimal portfolio as the numéraire. In typical settings, this choice leads to an equivalent martingale measure, the benchmark-neutral measure. The resulting prices can be significantly lower …

Simulating from marginal structural models for hazards, cause-specific hazards and subdistribution hazards using general copulas

In this short report, I propose two extensions of this method.

Long-term simultaneous 2.25/8.60~GHz monitoring of the newly-discovered repeating FRB~20240114A
We report on the simultaneous monitoring of the repeating fast radio burst (FRB) 20240114A at 2.25 and 8.60~GHz, conducted 66 times between 2024 January 29 and 2025 February 15 with the Shanghai Tianma Radio Telescope (TMRT). In about 180 hours of observation, we detected 155 bursts at 2.25~GHz above a fluence threshold of 0.72~Jy~ms, but none at 8.60~GHz above a fluence threshold of 0.27~Jy~ms. FRB~20240114A exhibited frequency-dependent activity, as evidenced by the non-detections in 14.3 hou…

Rotational-Mode-Enhanced Piezoelectricity in a Ferroelectric Double Helix
Recent theoretical work has predicted the existence of a ``dipole spiral" structure in strained freestanding membranes, promising a route to giant electromechanical responses[\href{https://journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevLett.133.046802}{PRL \textbf{133}, 046802 (2024)}]. However, its microscopic nature, energetic landscape, and electronic consequences remain largely unexplored. Here, using first-principles calculations on PbTiO$_3$ under biaxial tensile strain, we unveil a novel f…

Pre-perihelion radio observations of comet 12P/Pons-Brooks with Tianma radio telescope
{The multiple outburst events of comet 12P/Pons-Brooks during its 2024 apparition offer a unique window into highly-active volatile releasing processes not observable during quiescent periods. We performed radio observations of comet 12P/Pons-Brooks with the Tianma-65m radio telescope, targeting the OH and NH$_3$ inversion lines at 18-cm and 1.3-cm, respectively. By monitoring 12P at different heliocentric distances on its inbound journey, we aim to provide insights into the comet's volatile co…

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…

Failing Banks
Why do banks fail? We create a panel covering most commercial banks from 1863 through 2024 to study the history of failing banks in the United States. Failing banks are characterized by rising asset losses, deteriorating solvency, and an increasing reliance on expensive noncore funding. These commonalities imply that bank failures are highly predictable using simple accounting metrics from publicly available financial statements. Failures with runs were common before deposit insurance, but thes…

This study presents a comparative analysis of Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) performance in India's Nifty 50 index over a 22-year period (2003--2024), focusing on the timing of investments -- specifically, the first trading day (FTD) of each month versus the monthly expiry day of Futures and Options (EXP). The research establishes, through mathematical validation, that SIP returns are independent of the invested amount. Leveraging historical index data, the study finds that SIPs timed on F\&O…

A Data-constrained Magnetohydrodynamic Simulation of Successive X-class Flares in Solar Active Region 13842. II. Dynamics of the Solar Eruption Associated with the X9.0 Solar Flare
Active region NOAA 13842 produced two successive solar flares: an X7.1-class flare on October 1, 2024, and an X9.0-class flare on October 3, 2024. This study continues our previous simulation work that successfully reproduced the X7.1-class solar flare (Matsumoto et al. 2025). In this study, we performed a data-constrained magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulation using the nonlinear force-free field (NLFFF) as the initial condition to investigate the X9.0-class solar flare. The NLFFF showed the she…

Asymptotic behaviors of fractional binomial distributions derived from the generalized binomial theorem
A fractional binomial distribution, introduced by Hino and Namba (2024) via the generalized binomial theorem, is a fractional variant of the classical binomial distribution. Building upon previous work that established limit theorems, such as the weak law of large numbers and the central limit theorem, for fractional binomial distributions, this paper further investigates their asymptotic behaviors. Specifically, we derive the large and moderate deviation principles and a Berry--Esseen type est…

Comment on "Quantum tunneling from Schwarzschild black hole in non-commutative gauge theory of gravity"
The particle creation via quantum tunneling was recently calculated for the Schwarzschild non-commutative black hole solution in Ref. [Phys. Lett. B 848 (2024) 138335, e-Print: 2310.02445 [gr-qc]]. Nevertheless, it contains inconsistencies in the calculations that need to be properly corrected. In particular, the event horizon was incorrectly determined in that work, which affected all the subsequent calculations. Moreover, the same issue have been repeated elsewhere by the same authors in Refs…

Statistical Perspectives on Urban Inequality: A Systematic Review of GIS-Based Methodologies and Applications
Urban inequality, as reflected by uneven spatial allocations of resources, services, and opportunities, has arisen as a major topic for quantitative research and policy intervention. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) provide a solid framework for quantifying, analyzing, and visualizing these disparities; nevertheless, the many statistical approaches used in different studies have not been completely pooled. This analysis looks at 201 peer-reviewed articles published between 1996 and 2024, ob…

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…
