Trapping, chaos and averaging in bubbling AdS spaces
We discuss chaos and ensemble averaging in 1/2 BPS bubbling $AdS$ spaces of Lin, Lunin and Maldacena (LLM) by studying trapped and escaping null geodesics and estimating their decay rates. We find typical chaotic scattering behavior and confirm the Pesin relation between escape rates, Lyapunov exponents and Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy. On the other hand, for geodesics in coarse-grained (grayscale) LLM geometries (which exhibit a naked singularity) chaos is strongly suppressed, which is consistent …

Hilbert schemes of elliptic surfaces: group actions and derived categories
Let $X\to C$ be an elliptic surface with integral fibers and a section. The Hilbert scheme $X^{[n]}$ fibers over $C^{[n]}$. We construct a commutative group scheme over the entire base $C^{[n]}$ that embeds as an open subscheme of the Hilbert scheme, such that its action on itself extends to the entirety of $X^{[n]}$. We show that the action is $δ$-regular in the sense of Ngô. Using the derived McKay correspondence, we construct an exact autoequivalence of $D^b\operatorname{Coh}(X^{[n]})$ who…

Robust Scheduling on Uniform Machines - New Results Using a Relaxed Approximation Guarantee
We consider the problem of scheduling $n$ jobs on $m$ uniform machines while minimizing the makespan ($Q||C_{\max}$) and maximizing the minimum completion time ($Q||C_{\min}$) in an online setting with migration of jobs. In this online setting, the jobs are inserted or deleted over time, and at each step, the goal is to compute a near-optimal solution while reassigning some jobs, such that the overall processing time of reassigned jobs, called migration, is bounded by some f…

$f$-algebra products on AL and AM-spaces
We characterize all $f$-algebra products on AM-spaces by constructing a canonical AM-space $W_X$ associated to each AM-space $X$, such that the $f$-algebra products on $X$ correspond bijectively to the positive cone $(W_X)_+$. This generalizes the classical description of $f$-algebra products on $C(K)$ spaces. We also identify the unique product (when it exists) that embeds $X$ as a closed subalgebra of $C(K)$, and study AM-spaces for which this product exists -- the so-called AM-algebras. Fina…

We use charge sensing to detect entropy changes in a double quantum dot defined by electrostatic gating of a GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure. This system can be tuned to be two separate systems, like two independent, artificial atoms, or a single coherent system, like a molecule. We study entropy changes in both regimes due to changes in the occupation of the system. First we recover the single-dot result for each dot, that the occupation of the dot by a single electron corresponds to an increase i…

Structure of Metric $1$-currents: approximation by normal currents and representation results
We prove the $1$-dimensional flat chain conjecture in any complete and quasiconvex metric space, namely that metric $1$-currents can be approximated in mass by normal $1$-currents. The proof relies on a new Banach space isomorphism theorem, relating metric $1$-currents and their boundaries to the Arens-Eells space. As a by-product, any metric $1$-current in a complete and separable metric space can be represented as the integral superposition of oriented $1$-rectifiable sets, thus dropping a fi…

Eikonal quasinormal modes of highly-spinning black holes in higher-curvature gravity: a window into extremality
We carry out the first computation of gravitational quasinormal modes of black holes with arbitrary rotation in a theory with higher-derivative corrections. Our analysis focuses on a recently identified quartic-curvature theory that preserves the isospectrality of quasinormal modes in the eikonal limit and that is connected to string theory. We find a master equation that governs large-momentum gravitational perturbations in this theory. By solving this equation with WKB methods, we provide com…

Hyperbolic branching Brownian motion: the empirical limit measure
We study branching Brownian motion in hyperbolic space. As hyperbolic Brownian motion is transient, the normalised empirical measure of branching Brownian motion converges to a random measure $μ_\infty$ on the boundary. We show that the Hausdorff dimension of $\mathrm{supp}\ μ_\infty$ is $(2β)\wedge 1$ where $β$ is the branching rate, and that $μ_\infty$ admits a Lebesgue density for $β>1/2$. This is very different to the behaviour of the set of accumulation points on the boundary where $…

Dose-Escalation Trial Protocols that Extend Naturally to Admit Titration
Dose-escalation trials in oncology drug development still today typically aim to identify 1-size-fits-all dose recommendations, as arbitrary quantiles of the toxicity thresholds evident in patient samples. In the late 1990s efforts to individualize dosing emerged fleetingly in the oncology trial methods literature, but these have gained little traction due to a nexus of conceptual, technical, commercial, and regulatory barriers. To reduce the activation energy needed for transforming current 1-…

Photometric Stereo using Gaussian Splatting and inverse rendering
Recent state-of-the-art algorithms in photometric stereo rely on neural networks and operate either through prior learning or inverse rendering optimization. Here, we revisit the problem of calibrated photometric stereo by leveraging recent advances in 3D inverse rendering using the Gaussian Splatting formalism. This allows us to parameterize the 3D scene to be reconstructed and optimize it in a more interpretable manner. Our approach incorporates a simplified model for light representation and…

Lattice investigation of custodial two-Higgs-doublet model at weak quartic couplings
The $SU(2){-}$gauged custodial two-Higgs-doublet model, which shares the same global-symmetry properties with the standard model, is studied non-perturbatively on the lattice. The additional Higgs doublet enlarges the scalar spectrum and opens the possibility for spontaneous breaking of the global symmetry. In this work we start by showing the occurrence of spontaneous breaking of the custodial symmetry in a region of the parameter space of the model. Following this, both the spectrum and the r…

Visual Execution and Validation of Finite-State Machines and Pushdown Automata
In Formal Languages and Automata Theory courses, students find understanding nondeterministic finite-state and pushdown automata difficult. In many cases, this means that it is challenging for them to comprehend the operational semantics of such machines and, as a consequence, determine why a word is accepted or rejected. This is not entirely surprising, because students are mostly trained to design and implement deterministic programs. Comprehension of pushdown automata is further complicated,…

Benchmarking total energies with Hund's J terms in Hubbard-corrected spin-crossover chemistry
The effect of the Hund's J terms in various DFT+U+J corrections to semi-local spin-density functional theory is assessed for a series of four octahedrally coordinated Fe(II) spin-crossover molecules spanning the covalent end of the ligand field spectrum. We report values and analyze trends for the Hubbard U and Hund's J parameters determined via minimum-tracking linear response for all valence atomic subspaces and relevant spin states in these molecules.

Mass-transport-limited reaction rates and molecular diffusion in the van der Waals gap beneath graphene
The confinement of molecules within the van der Waals (vdW) gap between a two-dimensional 2D material and a catalytic substrate offers a promising route toward the development of molecule-selective catalysts with increased reaction rates. However, identifying the kinetic limitations of such confined reactions remains challenging. Here, we employ an inverted wedding-cake configuration of multilayer graphene on platinum to study the dynamics of graphene etching in the vdW gap by various molecules…

The Structure and Interpretation of Quantum Programs I: Foundations
Qubits are a great way to build a quantum computer, but a limited way to program one. We replace the usual "states and gates" formalism with a "props and ops" (propositions and operators) model in which (a) the C*-algebra of observables supplies the syntax; (b) states, viewed as linear functionals, give the semantics; and (c) a novel diagrammatic calculus unifies the two. The first part develops the basic objects of the framework, encoding consistent patterns of operator correlation, recovering…

An operator algebraic approach to fusion category symmetry on the lattice
We propose a framework for fusion category symmetry on the (1+1)D lattice in the thermodynamic limit by giving a formal interpretation of SymTFT decompositions. Our approach is based on axiomatizing physical boundary subalgebra of quasi-local observables, and applying ideas from algebraic quantum field theory to derive the expected categorical structures. We show that given a physical boundary subalgebra $B$ of a quasi-local algebra $A$, there is a canonical fusion category $\mathcal{C}$ that a…

Bright [CII]158$μ$m Streamers as a Beacon for Giant Galaxy Formation in SPT2349$-$56 at $z=4.3$
Observations of extreme starbursts, often located in the cores of protoclusters, challenge the classical bottom-up galaxy formation paradigm. Giant elliptical galaxies at $z=0$ must have assembled rapidly, possibly within few 100 Myr through an extreme growth phase at high-redshift, characterized by elevated star-formation rates of several thousand solar masses per year distributed over concurrent, gas-rich mergers. We present a novel view of the $z=4.3$ protocluster core SPT2349$-$56 from sens…

The fermionic DGFF and its scaling limit logCFT
In this paper, we identify the scaling limit of the fermionic discrete Gaussian free field (fDGFF) as a logarithmic conformal field theory (CFT) in two dimensions. We first establish a one-to-one correspondence between the space of local observables of the fDGFF and the space of local fields of the symplectic fermions CFT, a logarithmic CFT with central charge $c = - 2$. This correspondence is meaningful in the sense that, when appropriately renormalised, the fDGFF correlation functions converg…
