“Biden broke his silence on the demonstrations on Thursday after the UCLA raid, saying Americans have the right to protest but not to unleash violence.
‘Destroying property is not a peaceful protest,’ he said at the White House. ‘It’s against the law. Vandalism, trespassing, breaking windows, shutting down campuses, forcing the canceling of classes and graduations — none of this is a peaceful protest.’

Fresh chaos, arrests as police flatten camp at UCLA
In the pre-dawn hours, helmeted police swarmed a tent city set up at the University of California in Los Angeles, using flash bangs and riot gear.

A Survey of Web Content Control for Generative AI
The groundbreaking advancements around generative AI have recently caused a wave of concern culminating in a row of lawsuits, including high-profile actions against Stability AI and OpenAI. This situation of legal uncertainty has sparked a broad discussion on the rights of content creators and publishers to protect their intellectual property on the web. European as well as US law already provides rough guidelines, setting a direction for technical solutions to regulate web data use. In this co…

TIL there is an Ukranian sui generis AI right in Art 33 of the Law No. 2811-IX. The law creates a “sui generis right to non-original objects generated by a computer program" and the "right to a non-original object generated by a computer program shall expire in 25 years, calculated from January 1 of the year following the year in which the non-original object was generated."

An asymptotic property on a reciprocity law for the Bettin--Conrey cotangent sum
In 2013 Bettin and Conrey have introduced a cotangent sum $c \colon \mathbb{Q}_{>0}\to \mathbb{R}$, which can be regarded as a variant of the Dedekind sum. They have discovered that the cotangent sum satisfies a kind of reciprocity laws. Roughly speaking, the reciprocity law for $c(x)$ means that there is a relation between $c(x)$ and $c(1/x)$ modulo holomorphic functions. Furthermore they have investigated Taylor coefficients $g_n$ of the implicit holomorphic function, which appears in the rec…

Monotonicity formulas and (S$_+$)-property: old and new
The connection between monotonicity formulas and the (S$_+$)-property is that, for some popular differential operators, the former is used to prove the latter. The purpose of this paper is to explore this connection, remark how in the past both the monotonicity formulas and the (S$_+$)-property were focused exclusively on power-law growth and prove the same type of results for a more general class of operators.

Scaling limit of heavy tailed nearly unstable cumulative INAR($\infty$) processes and rough fractional diffusions
In this paper, we investigated the scaling limit of heavy-tailed unstable cumulative INAR($\infty$) processes. These processes exhibit a power law tail of the form $n^{-(1+α)}$, with $α\in (\frac{1}{2}, 1)$, where the $\ell^1$ norm of the kernel vector is close to $1$. The result is in contrast to scaling limit of the continuous-time heavy tailed unstable Hawkes processes and the one of INAR($p$) processes. We show that the discrete-time scaling limit also has long-memory property and can als…

Capillary levelling of thin liquid films of power-law rheology

Capillary levelling of thin liquid films of power-law rheology
We find solutions that describe the levelling of a thin fluid film coating a substrate, comprising a non-Newtonian power law fluid, under the influence of surface tension. We consider the evolution from both periodic and localised initial conditions. These solutions exhibit the generic property that the profiles are weakly singular (that is, higher order derivatives do not exist), at points where the pressure gradient vanishes. Numerical solutions of the thin film equation are shown to approach…

Development and property study of the extremely thin 12 \texorpdfstring{$μm$} C-type straw tubes with 5-mm diameter for a Straw Tracker System of COMET
The COMET experiment focuses on searching for the direct conversion of a muon into an electron with aluminum nuclei, without emitting a neutrino (so called $μ\rightarrow e$ conversion). This conversion violates charged lepton flavor conservation law, a fundamental principle in the Standard Model. The COMET experiment requirement is to achieve the muon-to-electron conversation sensitivity better than $10^{-17}$. The Straw Tracker System (STS) based on straw tubes could provide the necessary spa…

Discussions of inheritance taxation often ignore that fact that, under US law, death is a wealth enhancing event. The government provides heirs with subsidies that increase with wealth.
The best known heir-subsidy is the increase in basis on inherited property. When computing capital gains, heirs use the value of the property at time of death. So, a sale of property before one's death might be heavily tax but one's heirs might sell the same property tax-free. Not fair.

Making a case for the inheritance tax (with David Stasavage) - Pitchfork Economics
Over the next two decades, $30 trillion of wealth is expected to be transferred from Baby Boomers to their heirs. Journalists and financial experts have been referring to this event as the “Great Wealth Transfer,” and it's important that we understand the policies that make such a monumental transferral of generational wealth possible—not to mention the tremendous economic and societal implications of this unprecedented economic activity. In this episode, we have the privilege of speaking…

Localization renormalization and quantum Hall systems
The obstruction to constructing localized degrees of freedom is a signature of several interesting condensed matter phases. We introduce a localization renormalization procedure that harnesses this property, and apply our method to distinguish between topological and trivial phases in quantum Hall and Chern insulators. By iteratively removing a fraction of maximally-localized orthogonal basis states, we find that the localization length in the residual Hilbert space exhibits a power-law diverge…

Colored Line Ensembles for Stochastic Vertex Models
In this paper we assign a family of $n$ coupled line ensembles to any $U_q (\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}_{n+1})$ colored stochastic fused vertex model, which satisfies two properties. First, the joint law of their top curves coincides with that of the colored height functions for the vertex model. Second, the $n$ line ensembles satisfy an explicit Gibbs property prescribing their laws if all but a few of their curves are conditioned upon. We further describe several examples of such famlies of line …
