Brompton elektrifiziert T-Line: Der leichteste und teuerste Falter der Briten

I keep saying the same thing over and over with my kids: you don't make decisions with your voice, you make them with your body.
"I want to go to the park."
"Ok, put your shoes on."
"I want to go on my play date."
"Put on a jacket and get in the bike."
"I don't want to be late to school."
"I don't control time, if you don't want to be late you have to brush your teeth."
There's a fundamental truth underlying this concept though, one that I hadn't really thought about. On some level, I feel as though, any choice you can't make with your body isn't a real choice. If you're begging someone to do something for you, it's ultimately not something you control.
As I'm compelled, by threat of violence against my family, to pay for war against my comrades and to kill people I don't even know, I think about that. How far is our concept of freedom from the police state we are taught to imagine as the global beacon of liberty. My participation in the violence had always been compulsory.
Perhaps we could do better than just #NoKings.

$T\bar{T}$ and root-$T\bar{T}$ deformations in four-dimensional Chern-Simons theory
The four-dimensional Chern-Simons (CS) theory provides a systematic procedure for realizing two-dimensional integrable field theories. It is therefore a natural question to ask whether integrable deformations of the theories can be realized in the four-dimensional CS theory. In this work, we study $T\bar{T}$ and root-$T\bar{T}$ deformations of two-dimensional integrable field theories, formulated in terms of dynamical coordinate transformations, within the framework of four-dimensional CS theor…

Spectra of T-vertex and T-edge neighbourhood corona of Two Graphs
The $T$-graph $T(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the graph whose vertices are the vertices and edges of $G$, with two vertices of $T(G)$ are adjacent if and only if the corresponding elements of $G$ are adjacent or incident. In this paper, we determine the adjacency and Laplacian spectra of $T$-vertex neighborhood corona and $T$-edge neighborhood corona of a connected regular graph with an arbitrary regular graph in terms of their eigenvalues. Moreover, applying these results we construct some non-regula…

Exact alternative optima for nonlinear optimization problems defined with maximum component objective function constrained by the Sugeno-Weber fuzzy relational inequalities
In this paper, we study a latticized optimization problem with fuzzy relational inequality constraints where the feasible region is formed as the intersection of two inequality fuzzy systems and Sugeno-Weber family of t-norms is considered as fuzzy composition. Sugeno-Weber family of t-norms and t-conorms is one of the most applied one in various fuzzy modelling problems. This family of t-norms and t-conorms was suggested by Weber for modeling intersection and union of fuzzy sets. Also, the t-c…

Before earlier this year, I had a Ford Ranger sitting in my driveway that I used three or four times per year. I ordered collector plates for it (since I don't drive it in the winter anyways and I don't want to have to pay to renew plates) and then my sister's car broke down (while she's still owed money on it) so I gave the truck to her. I hadn't even received the collector plates yet. I found out today that she's driving around with the collector plates on it.

Just finished "The Melancholy of Summer" by Louisa Onomé. It's an excellent book about parental abandonment, rejecting and accepting help, and friendship, set in Toronto. There were a few threads that didn't quite get wrapped up by the end, but the ending wasn't dissatisfying, and the writing is excellent, particularly TV gee dialogue and the narration of Summer's thoughts. I felt like the strategic use of stutters both gave the main character extra vulnerability, but also helped subtly clue the reader into moments where Summer's perception of her interlocutors doesn't match their real feelings. Between this and "Like Home", I feel like Onomé's novels are a bit rough around the edges, yet they're still some of the most enjoyable books I've been reading, probably because she's pours so much humanity into her characters and lets their honest desire for something better rub off on the audience.

On the K-theory of algebraic tori
Given an algebraic torus $T$ over a field $F$, its lattice of characters $Λ$ gives rise to a topological torus $\mathfrak{T}(T)=Λ_{\mathbb R}/Λ$ with a continuous action of the absolute Galois group $G$. We construct a natural equivalence between the algebraic $K$-theory $K_{\ast}(T)$ and the equivariant homology $H^{G}_{\ast}(\mathfrak{T}(T);K_G(F))$ of the topological torus $\mathfrak{T}(T)$ with coefficients in the $G$-equivariant $K$-theory of $F$. This generalizes a computation of $K_0(…

$T\bar{T}$ braneworld holography
We study a constructive gravitational dual of two-dimensional $T\bar{T}$-deformed conformal field theories (CFTs) grounded in their two-dimensional gravity description. This framework can be viewed as a Randall-Sundrum-type braneworld, where two-dimensional gravity localized on the $AdS_3$ boundary is dynamical. Assuming the AdS/CFT correspondence, the holographic dictionary provides a straightforward translation between the $T\bar{T}$-deformed CFT and its gravitational dual. In particular, thi…

Thermal-nonthermal transition of the charged particle production in pp collisions
We determine the internal energy of charged particle production in minimum bias pp collisions using a thermostatistical approach by analyzing the $p_\text{T}$ spectrum reported by the ALICE Collaboration across LHC energies. To do this, we define temperature as the slope of the $p_\text{T}$ spectrum at low $p_\text{T}$ values and Shannon's entropy as the system's entropy, calculated considering the normalized $p_\text{T}$ spectrum. We found that the internal energy for the Hagedorn and Tricomi …

$L^2$-solutions to stochastic reaction-diffusion equations with superlinear drifts driven by space-time white noise^
Consider the following stochastic reaction-diffusion equation with logarithmic superlinear coefficient b, driven by space-time white noise W: $$ u_t(t,x) = (1/2)u_{xx}(t,x) + b(u(t,x)) + σ(u(t,x))W(dt,dx) $$ for $t > 0$ and $x \in [0,1]$, with initial condition $$ u(0,x) = u_0(x) $$ for $x \in [0,1]$, where $u_0 \in L^2[0,1]$. In this paper, we establish existence and uniqueness of probabilistically strong solutions in $C(R_+, L^2[0,1])$. Our result resolves a problem from [Ann. Probab. 47 (…

Stable amalgamation over a predicate and the Gaifman property
We consider the following property of a first order theory T with a distinguished unary predicate P: every model of the theory of P occurs as the P-part of some model of T. We call this property the Gaifman property. Gaifman conjectured that if T is relatively categorical over P, then it has the Gaifman property. We propose a generalized version of this conjecture: if T fails the Gaifman property, then it exhibits non-structure over P, i.e., has many non-isomorphic models over P in many cardina…

Let $A(F,T)$ denote the Fourier coefficients of $F$ and write $T=(T(i,j))$. Suppose that $F$ has a non-zero Fourier coefficient $A(F,T_0)$ such that $(T_0(n,n),N)=1$. Then there exist infinitely many odd and square-free (and thus fundamental) integers $m$ such that $m=\mathrm{discriminant}(T)$ and $A(F,T)\neq 0$. In the case of odd degrees, we prove a stro…

On 2-Movable Total Domination in the Join and Corona of Graphs
Let $G$ be a connected graph. A non-empty $T\subseteq V(G)$ is a $2$-\textit{movable total dominating set} of $G$ if $T$ is a total dominating set and for every pair $x,y \in T$, $T \backslash \{x, y\}$ is a total dominating set in $G$, or there exist $u, v \in V(G) \backslash T$ such that $u$ and $v$ are adjacent to $x$ and $y$, respectively, and $(T \backslash \{x,y\}) \cup \{u,v\}$ is a total dominating set in $G$. The $2$-\textit{movable total domination number} of $G$, denoted by $γ_{mt}^…

With regard to Ukraine the next step is very simple. Russia must stop attacking and advancing in Ukraine.
After that talks can start and other things are possible. The fact that Russia doesn't want to start with a cease-fire tells you everything you need to know. Putin can't live with a strong, prosperous and succesful Ukraine.

Melting down a tetraquark: $D^{\ast}D^{(\ast)}$ interactions and $T_{cc}(3875)^+$ in a hot environment
We discuss the modification of the properties of the tetraquark-like $T_{cc}(3875)^+$ and its heavy quark spin partner, $T_{cc}(4016)^{*+}$ immersed in a hot bath of pions. We consider these exotic states as purely isoscalar $DD^\ast$ and $D^\ast D^\ast$ $S$-wave bound states, respectively. Finite temperature effects are incorporated through the $D$ and $D^\ast$ state-of-the-art thermal spectral functions calculated in [G. Montana et al., Phys. Rev. D, 102 (2020) 096020], using the imaginary-ti…

A Chinese restaurant process for multiset permutations
Multisets are like sets, except that they can contain multiple copies of their elements. If there are $n_i$ copies of $i$, $1\leq i\leq t$, in multiset $M_t$, then there are $\binom{n_1+\cdots+n_t}{n_1,\ldots, n_t}$ possible permutations of $M_t$. Knuth showed how to factor any multiset permutation into cycles. For fixed $n_i$, $i\geq 1$, we show how to adapt the Chinese restaurant process, which generates random permutations on $n$ elements with weighting $θ^{\# \, {\rm cycles}}$, $θ>0$, seq…

Quantum Kramers-Henneberger Transformation
The classical Kramers-Henneberger transformation connects, via a series of unitary transformations, the dynamics of a quantum particle of mass $m$ located in a trap at position $α(t)$, with the dynamics of a charge $e$ moving in an electric field $e{\cal{E}}(t)=-m\ddotα(t)$ within the dipole approximation. In this paper, we extend the classical Kramers-Henneberger transformation to the quantum electrodynamic and quantum optical realm, by explicitly treating the trap location quantum mechanica…

T-dualities and scale-separated AdS$_3$ in type I
We perform three T-dualities on previously found, classical $\mathcal{N}=1$ scale-separated AdS$_3$ solutions of massive type IIA supergravity. These solutions arose from a compactification on a toroidal $G_2$-holonomy space with smeared O2/D2 and O6/D6 sources. The T-dual backgrounds are classical $\mathcal{N}=1$ AdS$_3$ solutions of type IIB supergravity with O5/D5 and O9/D9 sources (type I) compactified on a space with $G_2$-structure and non-vanishing Ricci scalar. We generalize the origina…

In any case their journalism is outstanding and they carefully avoid making an explicit political stance and contributing to polarisation. #UnbreakingNews
In depth journalism you can read or listen to (try deepL if you don't speak Danish), often beautifully produced, always fascinating. They also don't report on problems without reporting solutions.
It's by far the most uplifting read/listen of my day.
