Climate change puts pressure on reindeer populations, both wild & domestic herds
In 2024, as unpredictable rains, snow and heat beat down on Finland’s Arctic, reindeer struggled to secure food sources, say Indigenous Sámi herders who shuffle their packs from one grazing ground to another. According to researchers, this is an example of the much larger problem the species faces. Due to climate change, a recent study […]

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),…

Pareto-optimal Non-uniform Language Generation
Kleinberg and Mullainathan (2024) recently proposed an interesting model for language generation in the limit: Given a countable collection of languages, and an adversary enumerating the strings of some language $L$ from the collection, the objective is to generate new strings from the target language, such that all strings generated beyond some finite time are valid. Li, Raman and Tewari (2024) and Charikar and Pabbaraju (2024) showed strong non-uniform generation guarantees in this model, giv…

Self-consistent model of cosmic ray penetration into molecular clouds: Effect of energy losses
The theory of cosmic-ray (CR) penetration into dense molecular clouds developed recently for relativistic particles by Chernyshov et al. (2024) is extended to non-relativistic CRs. Interstellar CRs streaming into the clouds are able to resonantly excite MHD waves in diffuse cloud envelopes. This leads to the self-modulation, such that streaming particles are scattered at the self-generated waves. In contrast to relativistic CRs, transport of lower-energy particles in the envelopes is generally …

A polynomial bound on the pathwidth of graphs edge-coverable by $k$ shortest paths

https://arxiv.org/abs/2510.02901

A polynomial bound on the pathwidth of graphs edge-coverable by $k$ shortest paths
Dumas, Foucaud, Perez and Todinca (2024) recently proved that every graph whose edges can be covered by $k$ shortest paths has pathwidth at most $O(3^k)$. In this paper, we improve this upper bound on the pathwidth to a polynomial one; namely, we show that every graph whose edge set can be covered by $k$ shortest paths has pathwidth $O(k^4)$, answering a question from the same paper. Moreover, we prove that when $k\leq 3$, every such graph has pathwidth at most $k$ (and this bound is tight). Fi…

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…

Framing Unionization on Facebook: Communication around Representation Elections in the United States
Digital media have become central to how labor unions communicate, organize, and sustain collective action. Yet little is known about how unions' online discourse relates to concrete outcomes such as representation elections.

Symmetry analysis and new partially invariant solutions for the gas dynamics system with a special equation of state
This paper is a contribution to the symmetry analysis of the gas dynamics system in the vein of the ''podmodeli'' (submodels) program outlined by Ovsyannikov (1994). We consider the case of the special state equation, prescribing pressure to be the sum of entropy and an arbitrary function of density. Such a system has a 12-dimensional symmetry Lie algebra. This work advances the study of its four-dimensional subalgebras, continuing the work started in Siraeva (2024). For a large subset of not p…
