Stance classification, the task of predicting the viewpoint of an author on a subject of interest, has long been a focal point of research in domains ranging from social science to machine learning.

However, this manual annotation process requires laborious annotation effort, and thus hampers its potential to generalize across different contexts. In th…

Symplectic torus actions on complete intersections
In [20] the author classified complete intersections of dimension $8k$ admitting a Hamiltonian circle action, under a certain assumption on the fixed point set. In this paper, we improve this result in two directions. Firstly, in dimension $8$ we remove the assumption on the fixed point set. Secondly, in any dimension we prove the result under an analogous assumption on the fixed point set. We also give some applications of our methods to the unimodality of Betti numbers of symplectic manifolds…

String algebras over local rings: regular examples
String algebras, in the usual sense, are finite-dimensional algebras over a given ground field. We recall a generalisation of the definition of a string algebra, which was introduced in a previous paper of the author. This generalisation replaces the ground field with a noetherian local ring. We provide a way to generate examples of string algebras over any regular local ring, which depends on the Krull dimension.

Convergence rate for a regularized scalar conservation law
This work revisits a recent finding by the first author concerning the local convergence of a regularized scalar conservation law. We significantly improve the original statement by establishing a global convergence result within the Lebesgue spaces $L^\infty_{\mathrm{loc}}(\mathbb{R}^+;L^p(\mathbb{R}))$, for any $p \in [1,\infty)$, as the regularization parameter $\ell$ approaches zero. Notably, we demonstrate that this stability result is accompanied by a quantifiable rate of convergence. A k…

Mellin transform formulas for Drinfeld modules
We introduce formulas for the logarithms of Drinfeld modules using a framework recently developed by the second author. We write the logarithm function as the evaluation under a motivic map of a product of rigid analytic trivializations of $t$-motives. We then specialize our formulas to express special values of Goss $L$-functions as Drinfeld periods multiplied by rigid analytic trivializations evaluated under this motivic map. We view these formulas as characteristic-$p$ analogues of integral …

In this note we consider a more general version of local sparsity introduced recently by Anderson, Kuchukova, and the author. In particular, we say a graph $G = (V, E)$ is $(k, r)$-locally-sparse if for each vertex $v \in V(G)$, the subgraph induced by its neighborhood contains at most $k$ cliques of size $r$. For $r \geq 3$ and $ε\in [0, 1]$, we show that a $(Δ^{εr}, r)$-locally-sparse graph $G$ of maximum degree $Δ$ satisfies $α(G) = Ω\left(\dfrac{n}{γΔ}\right)$ and $χ(G) = O\left(γ…

ACM is touting its moves into full OA. But the new model just shifts the unequal access to authors instead of readers. And so, ACM is eliminated as an option for this society.

Mellin transform formulas for Drinfeld modules
We introduce formulas for the logarithms of Drinfeld modules using a framework recently developed by the second author. We write the logarithm function as the evaluation under a motivic map of a product of rigid analytic trivializations of $t$-motives. We then specialize our formulas to express special values of Goss $L$-functions as Drinfeld periods multiplied by rigid analytic trivializations evaluated under this motivic map. We view these formulas as characteristic-$p$ analogues of integral …

CASIMIR: A Corpus of Scientific Articles enhanced with Multiple Author-Integrated Revisions
Writing a scientific article is a challenging task as it is a highly codified and specific genre, consequently proficiency in written communication is essential for effectively conveying research findings and ideas. In this article, we propose an original textual resource on the revision step of the writing process of scientific articles. This new dataset, called CASIMIR, contains the multiple revised versions of 15,646 scientific articles from OpenReview, along with their peer reviews. Pairs o…

On the solvability of systems of equations revisited
In this paper, we introduce a new and direct approach to study the solvability of systems of equations generated by bilinear forms. More precisely, let $B (\cdot, \cdot)$ be a non-degenerate bilinear form and $E$ be a set in $\mathbb{F}_q^2$. We prove that if $|E|\gg q^{5/3}$ then the number of triples $(B(x, y), B(y, z), B(z, x))$ with $x, y, z\in E$ is at least $cq^3$ for some positive constant $c$. This significantly improves a result due to the fifth listed author (2009).

Approximating rational points on surfaces
Let $X$ be a smooth projective algebraic variety over a number field $k$ and $P$ in $X(k)$. In 2007, the second author conjectured that, in a precise sense, if rational points on $X$ are dense enough, then the best rational approximations to $P$ must lie on a curve. We present a strategy for deducing a slightly weaker conjecture from Vojta's conjecture, and execute this strategy for the full conjecture for split surfaces.

Reducing Linear Hadwiger's Conjecture to Coloring Small Graphs
In 1943, Hadwiger conjectured that every graph with no $K_t$ minor is $(t-1)$-colorable for every $t\ge 1$. In the 1980s, Kostochka and Thomason independently proved that every graph with no $K_t$ minor has average degree $O(t\sqrt{\log t})$ and hence is $O(t\sqrt{\log t})$-colorable. Recently, Norin, Song and the second author showed that every graph with no $K_t$ minor is $O(t(\log t)^β)$-colorable for every $β> 1/4$, making the first improvement on the order of magnitude of the $O(t\sqrt{\…

Cluster deep loci and mirror symmetry
Affine cluster varieties are covered up to codimension 2 by open algebraic tori. We put forth a general conjecture (based on earlier conversation between Vivek Shende and the last author) characterizing their deep locus, i.e. the complement of all cluster charts, as the locus of points with non-trivial stabilizer under the action of cluster automorphisms. We use the diagrammatics of Demazure weaves to verify the conjecture for skew-symmetric cluster varieties of finite cluster type with arbitra…

Equi-dimensionalization via subdivision of simplices
We give an alternative proof of Suslin's equi-dimensionalization moving lemma, using a different geometric construction. The new construction provides better control of the degrees of the polynomials used to define endomorphisms of schemes along which algebraic cycles are pulled back. When applied to algebraic cycles with modulus, the new degree bound improves an earlier result of Miyazaki and the present author so that we do not need to take the limit over the thickenings of the given diviso…
