Maybe an year ago, I was listening to an interview with Albanese where she spoke how powerless she was to stop genocide in Gaza.

Partial fraction decompositions on hyperplane arrangements
Claire de Korte, Teresa Yu
https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.06531 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2602.06531 https://arxiv.org/html/2602.06531
arXiv:2602.06531v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: We initiate the study of partial fraction decompositions (PFDs) in several variables using tools from commutative algebra. We give criteria for when a rational function with poles on a hyperplane arrangement has a desirable PFD. Our criteria are obtained by examining the primary decomposition of ideals coming from hyperplane arrangements. We then present an algorithm for finding a PFD that satisfies properties desired by physicists, and demonstrate the effectiveness of this algorithm for computing large examples coming from Feynman integrals.

Abstract: In this paper, we characterize all graphs $G$ satisfying \[\operatorname{reg}(S/J_G)=\ell(G)=c(G)\] where $\ell(G)$ is the sum of the lengths of the longest induced paths in each connected component of $G$ and $c(G)$ is the number of the maximal cliques of $G$. We also characterize all connected graphs $G$ that satisfy \[\operatorname{reg}(S/J_G)=\ell(G)=|V(G)|-\omega(G) 1\] where $\omega(G)$ is the clique number of $G$. Moreover, we investigate the possible values of the regularity of $S/J_G$ within the intervals $[\ell(G), c(G)]$ and $[\ell(G), |V(G)|-\omega(G) 1]$.

Constructing Koszul filtrations: existence and non-existence for G-quadratic algebras
Emily Berghofer, Lisa Nicklasson, Peder Thompson, Thomas Westerb\"ack

Abstract: Given a standard graded algebra over a field, we consider the relationship between G-quadraticity and the existence of a Koszul filtration. We show that having a quadratic Gr\"obner basis implies the existence of a Koszul filtration for toric algebras equipped with the degree reverse lexicographic term order and for algebras defined by binomial edge ideals. We also resolve a conjecture of Ene, Herzog, and Hibi by constructing an example where this implication fails. These results are underpinned by algorithms we develop for constructing Koszul filtrations. We also demonstrate the utility of these algorithms on the pinched Veronese algebra.

I live in California.
California was extorted from Mexico by the so-called "Mexican War" or 1846.
President, US Grant - yes that Grant from the Civil War - said that the 1846 Mexican War was the most unjust war he had ever seen. And Grant was right, it was a pretext war to take land from Mexico.
So I am wondering when Mexico will do a snatch and grab on El Cheato and take over the running of California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and parts of Nevada and Utah.

From various rumors and sources it appears that Open AI - a company organized under Delaware law but with HQ in California - is the cause of the tripling of computer memory prices and shortages.

My eyes are suggesting that El Cheato may not have long before either a stroke or other disabling failure.
Should such an event occur, I do not wish for his death. Rather I would prefer that he and JD get into a 25th Amendment match that results in the effective immobilization of the R-party.
But should Cheato die in office, I am wondering what would be an appropriate way to honor his passage into the underworld.

Each of you ought to take a look at your state's "unclaimed property" website. You may find something owed to you or to someone you know.

Were I to be the next President of the US I would ask my Atty General to consider bringing charges against every member of the US military who took part in the invasion of Venezuela who did not stand up and question the legitimacy of their orders.
Under Cheato and hogsbreath the US military has been lulled into the belief that it is OK to simply follow orders without considering whether those orders are legal/Constitutional or not.
Our soldiers and sailors need to be reminded of …

So, given all the expeditionary forces that the US is starting to deploy (legally or not) one might begin to wonder:
Will the US re-activate the military draft?

My prediction:
The return half of many round trip tickets held by US citizens to locations outside of the US will not be used.
Why will they not be used?
Because the return trip home will be in a body bag.
In other words, I am predicting that given the US actions (not merely today's invasion de jour), that US overseas travelers will become popular and easy targets for those who chose to use violence in response to US acts.

Our taxes are paying for the invasion of Venezuela.
Congress has abandoned the power to control expenditures.
So, how long are we going to keep paying for El Cheato to ravish our nation and other nations?

By-the-way, El Cheato has not obtained another name:

Almost every time I use LibreOffice I am reminded why people pay actual $$ for products like Word/Office365.

I've spent enough time in Florida to know that it is a horrible place to live except during a few winter months (and even then, Florida is always a social and cultural nightmare.). So I would guess that these people have several "homes".
