Monodromy of supersolvable toric arrangements
We study topological aspects of supersolvable abelian arrangements, toric arrangements in particular. The complement of such an arrangement sits atop a tower of fiber bundles, and we investigate the relationship between these bundles and bundles involving classical configuration spaces. In the toric case, we show that the monodromy of a supersolvable arrangement bundle factors through the Artin braid group, and that of a strictly supersolvable arrangement bundle factors further through the Arti…

Identifying All ε-Best Arms in (Misspecified) Linear Bandits
Motivated by the need to efficiently identify multiple candidates in high trial-and-error cost tasks such as drug discovery, we propose a near-optimal algorithm to identify all ε-best arms (i.e., those at most ε worse than the optimum). Specifically, we introduce LinFACT, an algorithm designed to optimize the identification of all ε-best arms in linear bandits. We establish a novel information-theoretic lower bound on the sample complexity of this problem and demonstrate that LinFACT achieve…

While officially unconfirmed,
the air base is widely believed to be the host to U.S. nuclear weapons under NATO’s nuclear sharing arrangements.
The base is also set to serve as the home to F-35 fighter jets beginning in 2027, Belga News Agency reported.
The incident comes amid a surge in mysterious drone sightings across European countries,
raising fears of Russian involvement in hybrid warfare and renewed concern about the alliance's security

Drones spotted over military base in Belgium
The Kleine Brogel Air Base is widely believed to be the host to various U.S. nuclear weapons under NATO’s nuclear sharing arrangements. The base is also set to serve as the home to F-35 fighter jets beginning in 2027, Belga News Agency reported.

Unpacking Personal(?!) Health Informatics: An Investigation of Awareness, Understanding, And Leveraged Utility in India
Personal Health Informatics (PHI), which leverages digital tools and information systems to support health assessment and self-care, holds promise for empowering individuals and transforming healthcare delivery. However, barriers to its adoption remain underexplored in the Indian context. This study investigates PHI adoption among Indian users and stakeholders using a multi-method approach. An awareness survey (n = 87) examined the usage of wearables and general PHI engagement, followed by semi…

Azimuthal offsets in spiral arms of nearby galaxies
Spiral arms play a central role in disc galaxies, but their dynamical nature remains a long-standing open question. Azimuthal offsets between molecular gas and star formation are expected if gas crosses spiral arms, as predicted by quasi-stationary density wave theory. In this work, we measure offsets between CO and Halpha peaks in radial bins for 24 galaxies from the PHANGS survey that display a well-delineated spiral structure. The offsets exhibit substantial scatter, implying that star forma…
