Sifting for a Stream: The Morphology of the $300S$ Stellar Stream
Stellar streams are sensitive laboratories for understanding the small-scale structure in our Galaxy's gravitational field. Here, we analyze the morphology of the $300S$ stellar stream, which has an eccentric, retrograde orbit and thus could be an especially powerful probe of both baryonic and dark substructures within the Milky Way. Due to extensive background contamination from the Sagittarius stream (Sgr), we perform an analysis combining Dark Energy Camera Legacy Survey photometry, $\textit…

Tuning between a fractional topological insulator and competing phases at $ν_\mathrm{T}=2/3$
We study a spinful, time-reversal symmetric lowest Landau level model for a flatband quantum spin Hall system at total filling fraction $ν_\mathrm{T}=2/3$. Such models are relevant, e.g. for spin-valley locked moiré transition metal dichalcogenides. The opposite Chern number of the two spins hinders the formation of a quantum Hall ferromagnet, instead favouring other phases. We study the phase diagram in dependence on different short-range Haldane pseudopotentials $V_m$ and uncover several ph…

Multi-Technique Characterization of Rhodium Gem-Dicarbonyls on TiO$_2$(110)
Gem-dicarbonyls of transition metals supported on metal (oxide) surfaces are common intermediates in heterogeneous catalysis. While infrared (IR) spectroscopy is a standard tool for detecting these species on applied catalysts, the ill-defined crystallographic environment of species observed on powder catalysts renders data interpretation challenging. In this work, we apply a multi-technique surface science approach to investigate rhodium gem-dicarbonyls on a single-crystalline rutile TiO$_2$(1…

Broadband Dielectric Analysis of Clays: Impact of Cation, Exchange Capacity, Water Content, and Porosity
Clay-rich soils and sediments are key components of near-surface systems, influencing water retention, ion exchange, and structural stability. Their complex dielectric behavior under moist conditions arises from electrostatic interactions between charged mineral surfaces and exchangeable cations, forming diffuse double layers that govern transport and retention processes. This study investigates the broadband dielectric relaxation of four water-saturated clay minerals (kaolin, illite, and two s…

Towards Effective Complementary Security Analysis using Large Language Models
A key challenge in security analysis is the manual evaluation of potential security weaknesses generated by static application security testing (SAST) tools. Numerous false positives (FPs) in these reports reduce the effectiveness of security analysis. We propose using Large Language Models (LLMs) to improve the assessment of SAST findings. We investigate the ability of LLMs to reduce FPs while trying to maintain a perfect true positive rate, using datasets extracted from the OWASP Benchmark (v…

Dynamic Hybrid Modeling: Incremental Identification and Model Predictive Control
Mathematical models are crucial for optimizing and controlling chemical processes, yet they often face significant limitations in terms of computational time, algorithm complexity, and development costs. Hybrid models, which combine mechanistic models with data-driven models (i.e. models derived via the application of machine learning to experimental data), have emerged as a promising solution to these challenges. However, the identification of dynamic hybrid models remains difficult due to the…

In the domain of detective fiction, this tension is known as fair play, which includes the implicit agreement between the writer and the reader as to the range of possible resolutions the mystery story may have. In this work, we present a probabilistic framework for detective fiction that allows us to define desired qualities. Using this framework, we form…

Downstream: efficient cross-platform algorithms for fixed-capacity stream downsampling
Due to ongoing accrual over long durations, a defining characteristic of real-world data streams is the requirement for rolling, often real-time, mechanisms to coarsen or summarize stream history. One common data structure for this purpose is the ring buffer, which maintains a running downsample comprising most recent stream data. In some downsampling scenarios, however, it can instead be necessary to maintain data items spanning the entirety of elapsed stream history. Fortunately, approaches g…

Optimized Circuit Cutting for QAOA Sampling Tasks
Circuit cutting was originally designed to retrieve the expectation value of an observable with respect to a large quantum circuit by executing smaller circuit fragments. In this work, however, we demonstrate the application of circuit cutting to a pure sampling task. In particular, we sample solutions to an optimization problem from a trained QAOA circuit. Here, circuit cutting leads to a broadening and shift of the bitstring distribution towards suboptimal values compared to the uncut case. T…

Finally, we extend the best-known matrix weighted $L^p$ estimates for sparse forms to the nonhomogeneous setting. The key dif…

TNO colours provide new evidence for a past close flyby of another star to the Solar System
Thousands of small bodies, known as trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs), orbit the Sun beyond Neptune. TNOs are remnants of the planets' formation from a disc of gas and dust, so it is puzzling that they move mostly on eccentric orbits inclined to the planetary plane and show a complex red-to-grey colour distribution. A close stellar flyby can account for the TNOs' dynamics, but it is unclear if this can also explain the correlation between their colours and orbital characteristics. Assuming an init…

These operators are classical generalisations of the fractional Laplacian. The existence result is shown under a nonlocal version of the Keller-Osserman condition, stated in terms of the subordinator and the source term $f$.

Stabilization of long-range order in low-dimensional nonequilibrium $O(N)$ models
It is now well established that the Mermin-Wagner theorem can be circumvented in nonequilibrium systems, allowing for the spontaneous breaking of a continuous symmetry and the emergence of long-range order in low dimensions. However, only a few models demonstrating this violation are known, and they often rely on specific mechanisms that may not be generally applicable. In this work, we identify a new mechanism for nonequilibrium-induced long-range order in a class of $O(N)$-symmetric models. I…

Analytical solution for dynamic evaporation of liquid in isothermal condition
An analytical solution based on a diffuse interface model is presented for an isothermal evaporation problem under sub-saturation pressure. The macroscopic equations are derived from the free-energy method, widely recognized in the lattice Boltzmann literature, distinguishing our approach from conventional evaporation models that rely on jump conditions or pure kinetic theory. The interface behavior is fully described by differential equations, eliminating the need for assumptions such as local…

Information-Theoretic Detection of Unusual Source Code Changes
The code base of software projects evolves essentially through inserting and removing information to and from the source code. We can measure this evolution via the elements of information - tokens, words, nodes - of the respective representation of the code. In this work, we approach the measurement of the information content of the source code of open-source projects from an information-theoretic standpoint. Our focus is on the entropy of two fundamental representations of code: tokens and ab…

Constraint Hypergraphs as a Unifying Framework for Digital Twins
Digital twins, used to represent physical systems, have been lauded as tools for understanding reality. Complex system behavior is typically captured in domain-specific models crafted by subject experts. Contemporary methods for employing models in a digital twin require prescriptive interfaces, resulting in twins that are difficult to connect, redeploy, and modify. The limited interoperability of these twins has prompted calls for a universal framework enabling observability across model aggre…

DELVE-ing into the Milky Way's Globular Clusters: Assessing extra-tidal features in NGC 5897, NGC 7492, and testing detectability with deeper photometry
Extra-tidal features around globular clusters (GCs) are tracers of their disruption, stellar stream formation, and their host's gravitational potential. However, these features remain challenging to detect due to their low surface brightness. We conduct a systematic search for such features around 19 GCs in the DECam Local Volume Exploration (DELVE) survey Data Release 2, discovering a new extra-tidal envelope around NGC 5897 and find tentative evidence for an extended envelope surrounding NGC …

The Fourier transform in variable exponent Lebesgue spaces
In this work we define a Fourier transform for each $f\in L^{p(\cdot)}(\mathbb{R})$, for a large class of exponent functions $p(\cdot)$, as the distributional derivative of a Hölder continuous function. A norm is defined in the space of such Fourier transforms so that it is isometrically isomorphic to $L^{p(\cdot)}(\mathbb{R})$. We also prove several properties of this Fourier transform, such as inversion in norm and an exchange theorem.

Meta SecAlign: A Secure Foundation LLM Against Prompt Injection Attacks
Prompt injection attacks pose a significant security threat to LLM-integrated applications. Model-level defenses have shown strong effectiveness, but are currently deployed into commercial-grade models in a closed-source manner. We believe open-source models are needed by the AI security community, where co-development of attacks and defenses through open research drives scientific progress in mitigation against prompt injection attacks. To this end, we develop Meta SecAlign, the first open-sou…

A Method for Analytical Solutions in the Lattice Boltzmann Method
Analytical solutions to the lattice Boltzmann Equation make it possible to study the method itself, explore the properties of its collision operator, and identify implementations of boundary conditions. In this paper, we propose a method to find analytical solutions where the macroscopic flow profile is known. We test this method on bulk Couette flow aligned and inclined to the simulation lattice with the quadratic and entropic equilibrium distributions. Our method indeed provides an analytical…

Action of the Witt algebra on categorified quantum groups
We construct an action of the positive Witt algebra on the categorified quantum group associated to a simply-laced Lie algebra. In the type A case, we show that this action induces an action of the positive Witt algebra on $\mathfrak{gl}_n$-foams, recovering the action of Qi, Robert, Sussan, and Wagner. We also show that this construction is compatible with the trace decategorification, inducing the action of the positive Witt algebra on the current algebra.

Towards Better Attribute Inference Vulnerability Measures
The purpose of anonymizing structured data is to protect the privacy of individuals in the data while retaining the statistical properties of the data. An important class of attack on anonymized data is attribute inference, where an attacker infers the value of an unknown attribute of a target individual given knowledge of one or more known attributes. A major limitation of recent attribute inference measures is that they do not take recall into account, only precision. It is often the case tha…
