Localizing the Ising CFT from the ground state of the Ising model on the fuzzy sphere

Localizing the Ising CFT from the ground state of the Ising model on the fuzzy sphere
We locate the phase-transition line for the Ising model on the fuzzy sphere from a finite-size scaling analysis of its ground-state energy. This is similar to what was used to locate the complex CFT of the 5-state Potts model in dimension $d=2$ [PRL 133 (2024) 077101]. There it was shown that a CFT is characterized by a stationarity condition for the measured effective central charge. Our strategy is to write the ground-state energy as $E_{\rm GS}(N)/N_m = E_{0} + E_1 /N_m + E_{3/2}/N_m^{3/2}+ …

On Structured State-Space Duality
Structured State-Space Duality (SSD) [Dao & Gu, ICML 2024] is an equivalence between a simple Structured State-Space Model (SSM) and a masked attention mechanism. In particular, a state-space model with a scalar-times-identity state matrix is equivalent to a masked self-attention with a $1$-semiseparable causal mask. Consequently, the same sequence transformation (model) has two algorithmic realizations: as a linear-time $O(T)$ recurrence or as a quadratic-time $O(T^2)$ attention. In this note,…

Pinching of ICME Flux Rope: Unprecedented Multipoint Observations of Internal Magnetic Reconnection during Gannon's Superstorm
The extreme solar storm of May 10, 2024, during the 25th solar cycle, which recorded a symmetric H component index (Sym-H) reaching -500 nT, was the strongest since the 2003 Halloween storm. This event offered a unique opportunity for unprecedented multipoint observation of the complex interaction of Interplanetary Coronal Mass Ejections (ICME) from different vantage points. Utilizing NASA's Wind, ACE, DSCOVR, THEMIS-C, STEREO-A, MMS, and ISRO's recently launched Aditya-L1 spacecraft, we compre…

Seit 2010 sind sie für Solarstrom um 41 Prozent gesunken; 2024 kostete eine Kilowattstunde (kWh) im Schnitt nur etwa 3,5 Rp. Windstrom an Land war mit 2,7 Rp./kWh sogar noch günstiger. Zum Vergleich: Strom aus neuen Gaskraftwerken kostete in Deutschland laut Fraunhofer-Institut mindestens 8 Rp./kWh, aus Braunkohle sogar mindestens 10 Rp. ~ SES

Solving Polynomial Systems with Gröbner Bases: An Introduction to F4 and FGLM
These notes originate from a reading course held by the authors in the spring of 2024 at the Università di Genova. They provide a hands-on introduction to the F4 and FGLM algorithms. In addition to the notes, we present two implementations of the algorithms: FGLM in CoCoALib and F4 in Sage. These implementations closely follow the structure of the algorithms as described here and are intended to help readers experiment with them in practice, thereby gaining a deeper understanding.

Event-by-event vortex rings in fixed-target p+Ar collisions
We present event-by-event simulations for central asymmetric p+Ar collisions at $\sqrt{s_\mathrm{NN}} = 68$ GeV to investigate the formation and evolution of vortex-ring structures from the early-stage longitudinal flow velocity profile. Our predictions for their imprints on Lambda hyperon's polarization observables are complementary to those presented in Ref. [Phys.Rev.C 110 (2024) 5, 054908] and can be explored in the future fixed-target collisions at the Large Hadron Collider beauty (LHCb) e…

Analyzing the Relationship among Cryptocurrencies using Complex Networks
Our analysis focuses on the stock cryptocurrency market, by studying a group of nineteen cryptocurrencies where their capitalisation is about 99% of the total market. Specifically, it is examined this group of cryptocurrencies for the period from 2017 up to 2024, taking into account the effect of COVID-19 pandemic. As far as we know, this is the first time that this kind of study has been published, where it takes place by creating various networks based on stock cryptocurrency correlation, in …

Scale two-sample testing with arbitrarily missing data

Scale two-sample testing with arbitrarily missing data
This work proposes a novel rank-based scale two-sample testing method for univariate, distinct data when a subset of the data may be missing. Our approach is based on mathematically tight bounds of the Ansari-Bradley test statistic in the presence of missing data, and rejects the null hypothesis if the test statistic is significant regardless of the missing values. This proposed scale testing method is then combined with the location testing method proposed by Zeng et al. (2024) using the Holm-…

Predicting Qualification Thresholds in UEFA's incomplete round-robin tournaments via a Dixon and Coles Model
In the 2024/25 season, UEFA introduced the incomplete round-robin format in the Champions League and Europa League, replacing the traditional group stage with a single league phase table of all 36 teams. Now, the top eight qualify directly for the round of 16, while teams ranked 9th-24th enter a play-off round. Existing simulation-based analyses, such as those by Opta, provide guidance on points presumably needed for qualification but show discrepancies when compared to actual outcomes in the f…

Uncertainty Relation for the Wigner-Yanase Skew Information and Quantum Sobolev Inequalities
This note explores uncertainty inequalities for quantum analogues of the Fisher information including the Wigner-Yanase skew information, and their connection to the quantum Sobolev inequalities proved by the author in [Journal of Functional Analysis, 286 (10) 2024]. Some additional inequalities concerning commutators are derived and others are left as open problems.

Mapping Gamma-Ray Bursts: Distinguishing Progenitor Systems Through Machine Learning
We present an analysis of gamma-ray burst (GRB) progenitor classification, through their positions on a Uniform Manifold Approximation and Projection (UMAP) plot, constructed by Negro et al. 2024, from Fermi-GBM waterfall plots. The embedding plot has a head-tail morphology, in which GRBs with confirmed progenitors (e.g. collapsars vs. binary neutron star mergers) fall in distinct regions. We investigate the positions of various proposed sub-populations of GRBs, including those with and without…
