On connected subsets of a convergence space
Though a convergence space is connected if and only if its topological modification is connected, connected subsets differ for the convergence and for its topological modification. We explore for what subsets connectedness for the convergence or for the topological modification turn out to be equivalent. In particular, we show that the largest set containing a given connected set for which all subsets in between are connected is the adherence of the connected set for the reciprocal modification…

Semi-discrete moduli of smoothness and their applications in one- and two- sided error estimates
In this paper, we introduce a new semi-discrete modulus of smoothness, which generalizes the definition given by Kolomoitsev and Lomako (KL) in 2023 (in the paper published in the J. Approx. Theory), and we establish very general one- and two- sided error estimates under non-restrictive assumptions. The proposed results have been proved exploiting the regularization and approximation properties of certain Steklov integrals introduced by Sendov and Popov in 1983, and differ from the ones given b…

A Spectral Confounder Adjustment for Spatial Regression with Multiple Exposures and Outcomes
Unmeasured spatial confounding complicates exposure effect estimation in environmental health studies. This problem is exacerbated in studies with multiple health outcomes and environmental exposure variables, as the source and magnitude of confounding bias may differ across exposure/outcome pairs. We propose to mitigate the effects of spatial confounding in multivariate studies by projecting to the spectral domain to separate relationships by the spatial scale and assuming that the confounding…

Superactivation of Bell nonlocality in pure anyonic states
Standard quantum information theory is founded on the assumption that multi-party state space possesses a tensor product structure. Anyons, as quasiparticles in two-dimensional systems, exhibit unique entanglement properties that differ from the conventional quantum systems, resulting from the absence of a tensor product structure in their state spaces. This motivates us to investigate the relationship between Bell nonlocality and entanglement in anyonic states. Specifically, we find that certa…

Diffuse Interstellar bands and ultraviolet extinction bump: a Milky Way perspective on distant galaxies
The spectral width wB and the center wavelength lB of the UV absorption bump uvB measured for two z=7 galaxies were found to differ from Milky Way (MW) values. A decrease of wB by 45% and a positive shift of lB by 70-80 Ang were measured. In the MW, the uvB amplitude hB and wB do vary; however, such a narrow bump has never been observed and no variability of lB has been convincingly found. Recently, links have been found between both hB and wB and the strength of several Diffuse Interstellar ab…

Gao, Li, Ma and Xie gave an average degree counterpart of Bondy-Vince's result, stating that every $n$-vertex graph with at least $\frac{5}{2}(n-1)$ edges contains two cycles of consecutive even lengths, unless $4|(n-1)$ and every block of $G$ is a clique $K_5$.

Observation of Power Superbroadening of Spectral Line Profiles on IBM Quantum
Power broadening refers to the widening of the spectral line profile in a two-state quantum transition as the strength of the driving field increases. This phenomenon commonly arises in continuous-wave driving when the radiation field's intensity exceeds the transition's saturation intensity and it has been extensively studied in spectroscopy. For pulsed-field excitation, the spectral response of the quantum system may differ significantly: while a rectangular-shaped pulse leads to a linear pow…

Hom complexes play an important role in an algebro-topological approach to the graph coloring problem. It is known that $\mathrm{Hom}(G,H)$ is homotopy equivalent to a disjoint union of points and circles when both $G$ and $H$ are cycles. We generalize this known r…

The latter implies that an effective surfa…

Unfortunately, many real-world systems are described only approximately with missing or unknown terms in the equations.

We prove that if their Hecke eigenvalues $a_p$ and $a_p'$ satisfy a non-trivial polynomial relation $P(a_p, a_p') = 0$ for a set of primes $p$ of positive density, then $f$ and $f'$ are twists of each other by a Dirichlet character.

Centrality indices are used to rank the nodes of a graph by importance: this is a common need in many concrete situations (social networks, citation networks, web graphs, for instance) and it was discussed many times in sociology, psychology, mathematics and computer science, giving rise to a whole zoo of definitions of centrality. Although they differ widely in nature, many centrality measures are based on shortest-path distances: such centralities are often referred to as geometric. Geometric…

The thermodynamic profile of AdS black holes in Lorentz-violating Bumblebee and Kalb-Ramond gravity
Lorentz invariance violation (LIV) is a topic of significant interest in quantum gravity and in extensions of the Standard Model of particle physics. Recently, new classes of black hole solutions have been proposed, involving vector fields and rank-two antisymmetric tensor fields that acquire nontrivial vacuum expectation values, resulting in the Bumblebee and Kalb-Ramond (KR) gravity models, respectively. These models exhibit novel geometric structures and differ in notable ways from standard …

LiveCodeBench Pro: How Do Olympiad Medalists Judge LLMs in Competitive Programming?
Recent reports claim that large language models (LLMs) now outperform elite humans in competitive programming. Drawing on knowledge from a group of medalists in international algorithmic contests, we revisit this claim, examining how LLMs differ from human experts and where limitations still remain. We introduce LiveCodeBench Pro, a benchmark composed of problems from Codeforces, ICPC, and IOI that are continuously updated to reduce the likelihood of data contamination. A team of Olympiad medal…

Searching for Kerr in string amplitudes
We continue the approach of [1] to attempt to reproduce the classical electromagnetic current of the $\sqrt{\mathrm{Kerr}}$ solution from the infinite-spin limit of a three-point amplitude with two higher-spin string states and a massless vector. We review the infinite-spin limit of three-point amplitudes along the leading Regge trajectory, which differ from $\sqrt{\mathrm{Kerr}}$, and we provide evidence that any sub-leading trajectory parallel to the leading one give the same result. We exten…

Transporting results from a trial to an external target population when trial participation impacts adherence
Randomized clinical trials are considered the gold standard for informing treatment guidelines, but results may not generalize to real-world populations. Generalizability is hindered by distributional differences in baseline covariates and treatment-outcome mediators. Approaches to address differences in covariates are well established, but approaches to address differences in mediators are more limited. Here we consider the setting where trial activities that differ from usual care settings (e…

Lorenz ratios of diagonal and Hall conductivities in a Dirac electron liquid
The magnetotransport properties of a two-dimensional electron liquid in graphene are analyzed in the hydrodynamic limit under isothermal conditions. It is shown that the Wiedemann-Franz law does not hold in this regime and that the Lorenz ratios constructed from the diagonal and Hall conductivities generally differ from each other. The breakdown of the Wiedemann-Franz law is most pronounced near charge neutrality, where the Lorenz ratio can exceed its nominal universal Sommerfeld value by an or…

Laser-Induced Relaxation Oscillations in Superconducting Nanobridge Single Photon Detectors
We demonstrate novel laser-induced relaxation oscillations in superconducting nanowire single photon detectors (SNSPDs). These oscillations appear when a voltage biased NbTiN nanobridge detector is illuminated with intense pulsed laser light at a repetition rate of $\sim19\text{MHz}$. They differ from the well-known relaxation oscillations by a step-wise increase in frequency and phase locking of the oscillations to the laser pulses. We create a model that incorporates electrical feedback and e…

Comparing the dynamics of idealized squall lines between NWP and LES models
Both Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models and Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) models are used to simulate convective systems, such as squall lines, but with different purposes. NWP models aim for the most accurate weather forecasts, whereas LES models are typically used to advance our understanding of physical processes. Therefore, these types of models differ in their design. With increasing computer power, the domain sizes and resolutions of these models converge, which raises the question i…

Anomaly of conserved and nonconserved axial charges in Hamiltonian lattice gauge theory
We investigate the axial anomaly in Hamiltonian lattice gauge theory. The definition of axial charge operators is ambiguous, especially between conserved and nonconserved axial charges. While these charges appear to differ only by a higher-order term in lattice spacing, they do not coincide in the continuum limit. We demonstrate, through analytical and numerical calculations, that the conserved axial charge correctly reproduces the axial anomaly relation in continuous spacetime. Our finding wou…

Could We Be Fooled about Phantom Crossing?
Recent data from DESI Year 2 BAO, Planck CMB, and various supernova compilations suggest a preference for evolving dark energy, with hints that the equation of state may cross the phantom divide line ($w = -1$). While this behavior is seen in both parametric and non-parametric reconstructions, comparing reconstructions that support such behavior (such as the best fit of CPL) with those that maintain $w>-1$ (like the best fit algebraic quintessence) is not straightforward, as they differ in flex…

Stochastic Variance-Reduced Forward-Reflected-Backward Splitting Methods for Nonmonotone Generalized Equations
We develop two novel stochastic variance-reduction methods to approximate solutions of a class of nonmonotone [generalized] equations. Our algorithms leverage a new combination of ideas from the forward-reflected-backward splitting method and a class of unbiased variance-reduced estimators. We construct two new stochastic estimators within this class, inspired by the well-known SVRG and SAGA estimators. These estimators significantly differ from existing approaches used in minimax and variation…

DnR-nonverbal: Cinematic Audio Source Separation Dataset Containing Non-Verbal Sounds
We propose a new dataset for cinematic audio source separation (CASS) that handles non-verbal sounds. Existing CASS datasets only contain reading-style sounds as a speech stem. These datasets differ from actual movie audio, which is more likely to include acted-out voices. Consequently, models trained on conventional datasets tend to have issues where emotionally heightened voices, such as laughter and screams, are more easily separated as an effect, not speech. To address this problem, we buil…

Genetic Influences on Brain Aging: Analyzing Sex Differences in the UK Biobank using Structural MRI
Brain aging trajectories differ between males and females, yet the genetic factors underlying these differences remain underexplored. Using structural MRI and genotyping data from 40,940 UK Biobank participants (aged 45-83), we computed Brain Age Gap Estimates (BrainAGE) for total brain, hippocampal, and ventricular volumes. We conducted sex-stratified genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and Post-GWAS analyses to identify genetic variants associated with accelerated brain aging. Distinct gen…

Near-optimal estimates for the $\ell^p$-Lipschitz constants of deep random ReLU neural networks
This paper studies the $\ell^p$-Lipschitz constants of ReLU neural networks $Φ: \mathbb{R}^d \to \mathbb{R}$ with random parameters for $p \in [1,\infty]$. The distribution of the weights follows a variant of the He initialization and the biases are drawn from symmetric distributions. We derive high probability upper and lower bounds for wide networks that differ at most by a factor that is logarithmic in the network's width and linear in its depth. In the special case of shallow networks, we …

Quark and lepton masses
Quarks and leptons, the fundamental building blocks of the subatomic world, manifest in three families - replicas with identical quantum numbers that differ only in their masses. After summarizing the present data, an overview is presented of the main attempts to explain the origin of the observed patterns and trace it back to an as-yet-unknown fundamental principle.

Supra-threshold control of peripheral LOD
Level of detail (LOD) is widely used to control visual feedback in interactive applications. LOD control is typically based on perception at threshold - the conditions in which a stimulus first becomes perceivable. Yet most LOD manipulations are quite perceivable and occur well above threshold. Moreover, research shows that supra-threshold perception differs drastically from perception at threshold. In that case, should supra-threshold LOD control also differ from LOD control at threshold? In…

Framework for phase transitions between the Maxwell and Gibbs constructions at finite temperature
The characteristics of the hadron-to-quark first-order phase transition differ depending on whether charge neutrality is locally or globally fulfilled. In $β$-equilibrated matter, these two possibilities correspond to the Maxwell and Gibbs constructions. Recently, we presented a new framework in which a continuously-varying parameter allows one to describe a first-order phase transition in intermediate scenarios to the two extremes of fully local and fully global charge neutrality. In this wor…

An Iterative Methodology for Unitary Quantum Channel Search
In this paper, we propose an iterative algorithm using polar decomposition to approximate a channel characterized by a single unitary matrix based on input-output quantum state pairs. In limited data, we state and prove that the optimal solution obtained from our method using one pair with a specific structure will generate an equivalent class, significantly reducing the dimension of the searching space. Furthermore, we prove that the unitary matrices describing the same channel differ by a com…

The evolution of CME sheath turbulence from L1 to Earth: Wind and MMS observations of the 2023-04-23 CME
An interplanetary shock driven by a coronal mass ejection (CME) containing an interval of sub-Alfvénic flow impacted Earth on April 23, 2024. In this article, we analyze the turbulence in the sheath region between the shock and CME to determine how it evolves from L1 (as observed by Wind) to Earth (as observed by MMS, upstream of the bow shock). Wind and MMS were separated by $55\,\mathrm{R_{E}}$ in the dawn-dusk direction, but the shock normals differ by only $2.8^{\circ}$ and the Pearson cor…

Explainable anomaly detection for sound spectrograms using pooling statistics with quantile differences
Anomaly detection is the task of identifying rarely occurring (i.e. anormal or anomalous) samples that differ from almost all other samples in a dataset. As the patterns of anormal samples are usually not known a priori, this task is highly challenging. Consequently, anomaly detection lies between semi- and unsupervised learning. The detection of anomalies in sound data, often called 'ASD' (Anomalous Sound Detection), is a sub-field that deals with the identification of new and yet unknown effe…

Non-Discriminatory Personalized Pricing
A monopolist offers personalized prices to consumers with unit demand, heterogeneous values, and idiosyncratic costs, who differ in a protected characteristic, such as race or gender. The seller is subject to a non-discrimination constraint: consumers with the same cost, but different characteristics must face identical prices. Such constraints arise in regulated markets like credit or insurance. The setting reduces to an optimal transport, and we characterize the optimal pricing rule. Under th…

Efficient and faithful reconstruction of dynamical attractors using homogeneous differentiators
Reconstructing the attractors of complex nonlinear dynamical systems from available measurements is key to analyse and predict their time evolution. Existing attractor reconstruction methods typically rely on topological embedding and may produce poor reconstructions, which differ significantly from the actual attractor, because measurements are corrupted by noise and often available only for some of the state variables and/or their combinations, and the time series are often relatively short. …

Stability of compact actions and a result on divided differences
We study smooth locally free actions of ${\mathbb R}^n$ on manifolds $M$ of dimension $n+1$. We are interested in compact orbits and in compact actions: actions with all orbits compact. Given a compact orbit in a neighborhood of compact orbits, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a $C^k$ perturbation with noncompact orbits in the given neighborhood. We prove that if such a perturbation exists it can be assumed to differ from the original action only in a smaller nei…

Strongly coupled interface ferroelectricity and interface superconductivity in LAO/KTO
Interfaces can differ from their parent compounds in terms of charge, spin, and orbital orders and are fertile ground for emergent phenomena, strongly correlated physics, and device applications. Here, we discover that ferroelectric order resides at the interface of two oxides, LaAlO3/KTaO3(111) (LAO/KTO), where two seemingly mutually exclusive orders-ferroelectricity and superconductivity-coexist. Moreover, manipulating ferroelectricity can change the interfacial conductivity by more than 1000…

Sensitivity of Heavy Higgs Boson to the Precision Yukawa Coupling Measurements at Higgs Factories
We investigate the potential of precision Higgs boson coupling measurements to discover heavy Higgs bosons by performing scans of the parameter space in Two-Higgs-Doublet Models (2HDM). Our study encompasses conventional Type I and Type II models, as well as models in which Higgs couplings differ between the third generation and lighter fermion generations. The scans reveal that precision measurements at the sensitivity levels projected for Higgs factories, such as Linear Collider Facility (LCF…

These networks, typically shallow, differ from conventional approaches by randomizing all parameters except those in the final layer. Notably, by integrating techniques inspired by domain decomposition, they achieve improved local accuracy and computational efficiency. Following \cite{chen:2022:BTM}, we refer to these a…
