The final presentation at the SEC 2025 - https://www.vvs.be/subsite/sec-2025/programme - was by Mariusz Krukar about the Impact of solar eclipses on twilight. He called the 1990 observations by Geyer et al. - https://opg.optica.org/ao/abstract.cfm?uri=ao-33-21-4614 (don't know of any OA version) - the best so far while in https://eeq.astro-geo-gis.com/2024-2/ he had predictions for 2024. The next SEC will probably be in 2029 - no location decided yet. 19/19

Fuck you, you genocide-loving piece of shit, opposing genocide isn’t antisemitism. What you’re doing – conflating being anti-genocide with being antisemitic – is the greatest antisemitism as you’re de facto stating that all Jews are pro-genocide.

Conditional Local Independence Testing with Application to Dynamic Causal Discovery
In this note, we extend the conditional local independence testing theory developed in Christgau et al. (2024) to Ito processes. The result can be applied to causal discovery in dynamic systems.

Truthful, Credible, and Optimal Auctions for Matroids via Blockchains and Commitments
We consider a revenue-optimizing auctioneer in single-dimensional environments with matroid feasibility constraints. Akbarpour and Li (2020) argue that any revenue-optimal, truthful, and credible mechanism requires unbounded communication. Recent works (Ferreira and Weinberg, 2020; Essaidi et al., 2022; Chitra et al., 2024) circumvent their impossibility for the single-item setting through the use of cryptographic commitments and blockchains. We extend their results to matroid feasibility const…

Electroweak Phase Transition, Gravitational Waves and Collider Probes in Multi-Scalar Dark Matter Scenarios
We study scalar singlet extensions of the Standard Model (SM), focusing on scenarios where dark matter (DM) is stabilized by a \(\mathbb{Z}_2\) symmetry. In the minimal single-scalar extension of the SM, only a narrow region near the Higgs resonance remains viable, requiring small portal couplings in order to simultaneously satisfy the observed relic abundance and comply with the most recent direct detection limits from the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ-2024) and XENON1T experiments. To address this limitatio…

A Comprehensive Analysis of COVID-19 Detection Using Bangladeshi Data and Explainable AI
COVID-19 is a rapidly spreading and highly infectious virus which has triggered a global pandemic, profoundly affecting millions across the world. The pandemic has introduced unprecedented challenges in public health, economic stability, and societal structures, necessitating the implementation of extensive and multifaceted health interventions globally. It had a tremendous impact on Bangladesh by April 2024, with around 29,495 fatalities and more than 2 million confirmed cases. This study focu…

Decay of correlation for edge colorings when $q>3Δ$
We examine various perspectives on the decay of correlation for the uniform distribution over proper $q$-edge colorings of graphs with maximum degree $Δ$. First, we establish the coupling independence property when $q\ge 3Δ$ for general graphs. Together with the work of Chen et al. (2024), this result implies a fully polynomial-time approximation scheme (FPTAS) for counting the number of proper $q$-edge colorings. Next, we prove the strong spatial mixing property on trees, provided that $…

Thermonuclear superburst of MAXI J1752$-$457 observed with NinjaSat and MAXI
An uncatalogued bright X-ray transient was detected with MAXI on November 9, 2024, named MAXI J1752$-$457. The NinjaSat X-ray observatory promptly observed the source from November 10 to 18 while the small angular separation from the Sun hampered follow-up campaigns by other X-ray observatories. The MAXI and NinjaSat light curves in the 2-10 keV band showed first and second decaying components at the early and late phases, approximated by exponential functions with e-folding constants of 1.2 $\…

Submonoid Membership in n-dimensional lamplighter groups and S-unit equations
We show that Submonoid Membership is decidable in n-dimensional lamplighter groups $(\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z}) \wr \mathbb{Z}^n$ for any prime $p$ and integer $n$. More generally, we show decidability of Submonoid Membership in semidirect products of the form $\mathcal{Y} \rtimes \mathbb{Z}^n$, where $\mathcal{Y}$ is any finitely presented module over the Laurent polynomial ring $\mathbb{F}_p[X_1^{\pm}, \ldots, X_n^{\pm}]$. Combined with a result of Shafrir (2024), this gives the first example of…

Inferring Obscured Cosmic Black Hole Accretion History from AGN Found by JWST/MIRI CEERS Survey
This study presents the black hole accretion history (BHAH) of obscured active galactic nuclei (AGNs) identified from the JWST CEERS survey by Chien et al. (2024) using mid-infrared (MIR) SED fitting. We compute black hole accretion rates (BHARs) to estimate the black hole accretion density (BHAD), $ρ_{L_{\mathrm{disk}}}$, across $0 < z < 4.25$. MIR luminosity functions (LFs) are also constructed for these sources, modeled with modified Schechter and double power law forms, and corresponding B…

Scaling solutions for current-carrying cosmic string networks. II. Biased solutions
The charge-velocity-dependent one-scale model is an extension of the canonical velocity-dependent one-scale model which explicitly incorporates additional degrees of freedom on the string worldsheet, such as arbitrary currents and charges, expected in physically realistic models. A previous paper [Pimenta and Martins, Phys. Rev. D 110, 023540 (2024)] started an in-depth classification of its possible asymptotic scaling solutions, with the goal of identifying distinguishing features which may be…

All-sky search for individual Primordial Black Hole bursts with LHAASO
Primordial Black Holes~(PBHs) are hypothetical black holes with a wide range of masses that formed in the early universe. As a result, they may play an important cosmological role and provide a unique probe of the early universe. A PBH with an initial mass of approximately $10^{15}$~g is expected to explode today in a final burst of Hawking radiation. In this work, we conduct an all-sky search for individual PBH burst events using the data collected from March 2021 to July 2024 by the Water Che…
