Leo Varadkar, who stood down as taoiseach in April 2024,
said he did not think a date should be fixed for an Irish unity referendum
as nationalists did not yet have the numbers to win.
But he said planning for a united Ireland should take place.
"I don't think a united Ireland is inevitable, I think it's something that we have to work towards," he said.
"But I think there are a lot of factors that would suggest that we're on that traje…

Leo Varadkar says Nigel Farage as PM would move Irish unity 'centre stage'
The former Irish prime minister says planning should take place for the possibility of Irish unification.

Look at that! Sonnet finally got around to implementing my suggestion to add perceptually uniform color maps to current density (and presumably radiation pattern although I havent checked that yet) plots. Here's Viridis.
My one complaint is that they did it in what seems to be the reverse direction. I've already submitted a request to flip the direction of the ramp (and/or offer both as options).

📢 Bundesanwaltschaft übernimmt Ermittlungen im Fall Bielefeld
Es bestehe der Verdacht, dass die Tat religiös motiviert war und als Angriff auf die freiheitliche demokratische Grundordnung zu verstehen sei, heißt es in einer Mitteilung der Bundesanwaltschaft. Ein 35-jähriger Syrer soll am Sonntag Gäste einer Bielefelder Bar mit Stichwaffen attackiert haben.

Special Cases of the Shafarevich Conjecture for Complete Intersections in Abelian Varieties
In this paper, we prove the Shafarevich conjecture for certain complete intersections of hypersurfaces in abelian varieties defined over a number field $K$ using the Lawrence-Venkatesh method. The main new inputs we need are computation of certain Euler characteristics of these complete intersections and a big monodromy statement for the variation of Hodge structure arising from the middle cohomology of a family of such complete intersections. Following \cite{ls25}, we prove the latter by relat…

Measurement of the photosphere oblateness of $γ$ Cassiopeiae via Stellar Intensity Interferometry with the VERITAS Observatory
We use the stellar intensity interferometry system implemented with the Very Energetic Radiation Imaging Telescope Array System (VERITAS) at Fred Lawrence Whipple Observatory (FLWO) as a light collector to obtain measurements of the rapid rotator star $γ$ Cassiopeiae, at a wavelength of 416 nm. Using data from baselines sampling different position angles, we extract the size, oblateness, and projected orientation of the photosphere. Fitting the data with a uniform ellipse model yields a minor-…

Microgravity-assisted off-axis spin vortex in a $^{87}$Rb dipolar spinor Bose-Einstein condensate

Microgravity-assisted off-axis spin vortex in a $^{87}$Rb dipolar spinor Bose-Einstein condensate
The generation of the ground state of a spin vortex in a $^{87}$Rb Bose-Einstein condensate with the assistance of an optical plug has been studied. However, gravity is everywhere, and this potential linear dependence on the spatial position will destroy the axisymmetric structure of the system with the optical plug. In this case, the question of whether the spin vortex ground state still exists remains unresolved. The present study aims to explore the impact of microgravity on the formation of…

Moment-enhanced shallow water equations for non-slip boundary conditions
The shallow water equations often assume a constant velocity profile along the vertical axis. However, this assumption does not hold in many practical applications. To better approximate the vertical velocity distribution, models such as the shallow water moment expansion models have been proposed. Nevertheless, under non-slip bottom boundary conditions, both the standard shallow water equation and its moment-enhanced models struggle to accurately capture the vertical velocity profile due to th…

Geometric spin Hall effect of spatiotemporal optical vortices
The geometric spin Hall effect of light (GSHEL), which is associated with nonzero transverse angular momentum, has been demonstrated to occur without the need for light-matter interaction and is characterized by a transverse shift. Recently, there has been a surge in research on spatiotemporal optical vortices (STOV) that carry pure transverse angular momentum. In this study, we examine the transverse shift of STOV in a tilted reference frame with respect to the optical axis. Through both theor…

Singular intersections on families of abelian varieties
Let $S$ be a smooth irreducible curve defined over $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}$, let $\mathcal{A}$ be an abelian scheme over $S$ and $\mathcal{C}$ a curve inside $\mathcal{A}$, both defined over $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}$. In this paper we prove that the set of points in which $\mathcal{C}$ intersects proper flat subgroup schemes of $\mathcal{A}$ tangentially is finite. This fits in the framework of the so-called problems of unlikely intersections, and can be seen as a variation of the relative Pink co…
