Context Steering: A New Paradigm for Compression-based Embeddings by Synthesizing Relevant Information Features
Compression-based distances (CD) offer a flexible and domain-agnostic means of measuring similarity by identifying implicit information through redundancies between data objects. However, as similarity features are derived from the data, rather than defined as an input, it often proves difficult to align with the task at hand, particularly in complex clustering or classification settings. To address this issue, we introduce "context steering," a novel methodology that actively guides the featur…

The Chapman-Enskog approximation for a relativistic charged gas in the trace-fixed particle frame
In this article we provide a thorough discussion of the first-order Chapman-Enskog approximation for a relativistic simple charged gas propagating in an arbitrary fixed background spacetime and electromagnetic field. Motivated by a rigorous study of the linearized collision operator, we argue that the most natural thermodynamic frame to describe dissipative relativistic fluids is the trace-fixed particle frame. This frame determines the state variables by requiring compatibility of the first fe…

Kinematics of Stellar Streams from Globular Clusters Depend on Black Hole Retention and Star Mass: A Selection Effect for Dark Matter Inference
Velocity dispersion ($σ$) in stellar streams from globular clusters (GCs) is sensitive to heating by Galactic substructure, including dark matter (DM) subhalos. Recent studies have compared $σ$ in observed and modeled streams to probe DM properties, but have relied on stream models that neglect strong encounters, black holes (BHs), and mass segregation in GCs. Such phenomena may inflate stream $σ$ or introduce selection effects -- e.g., a $σ$ that depends on star mass ($m$). We investigate …

Outer symplectic billiard map at infinity
We show that the second iteration $T^2$ of the outer symplectic billiard map with respect to a convex domain $M$ in a symplectic vector space is approximated by an explicit Hamiltonian flow for points far away from $M$. More precisely, denote by $N$ the symplectic polar dual of the symmetrization $M\ominus M$ of $M$. If we write $N$ as the unit level set of a 1-homogeneous function $H$, then the difference between $T^2$ and the time-2-Hamiltonian flow of $H$ applied to a point $x$ is smaller …

Semi-Supervised 3D Medical Segmentation from 2D Natural Images Pretrained Model
This paper explores the transfer of knowledge from general vision models pretrained on 2D natural images to improve 3D medical image segmentation. We focus on the semi-supervised setting, where only a few labeled 3D medical images are available, along with a large set of unlabeled images. To tackle this, we propose a model-agnostic framework that progressively distills knowledge from a 2D pretrained model to a 3D segmentation model trained from scratch.

Bicentric configurations of pentagonal linkages
Let $P$ be a planar $n$-gon with the sidelengths $a_1, \ldots, a_n$ and let us denote by $L=L(P)$ the corresponding planar polygonal linkage. We are concerned with the problem of finding conditions on the sidelengths $a_i$ which guarantee the existence of a bicentric configuration of $L$. Specifically, we present some related results on tangential and chordal polygons and characterize pentagonal linkages having bicentric configurations.

We report a violation of the spin-paramagnetic limit in the in-plane upper critical field ($B_{C2}^{\parallel}$) in Bi(10 nm)/Ni(1 nm) bilayers grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). Superconductivity emerges at the interface through the formation of an ultrathin NiBi$_3$ layer, which hosts a remarkably robust superconducting state under in-plane magnetic fields.

Flavors of Quantifiers in Hyperlogics
Hypertrace logic is a sorted first-order logic with separate sorts for time and execution traces. Its formulas specify hyperproperties, which are properties relating multiple traces. In this work, we extend hypertrace logic by introducing trace quantifiers that range over the set of all possible traces. In this extended logic, formulas can quantify over two kinds of trace variables: constrained trace variables, which range over a fixed set of traces defined by the model, and unconstrained trace…

Globular clusters (GCs) are dense star clusters found in all massive galaxies. Recent work has established that they follow a tight relation between their internal stellar velocity dispersion $σ$ and luminosity, enabling accurate distance measurements. In this work, we aim to apply this GC velocity dispersion (GCVD) distance method to measure the distance to M 104 (NGC 4594, the Sombrero galaxy). We have measured internal stellar velocity dispersions for 85 globular clusters (GCs) and one ultr…

On the role of water activity on the formation of a protein-rich coffee ring in an evaporating multicomponent drop
The coffee-ring effect is a universal feature of evaporating sessile droplets with pinned contact line, wherein solutes or particles are advected to the droplet's edge due to evaporation-driven flows. While existing models have successfully described this phenomenon in particle-laden droplets, they often assume that hydrodynamics are decoupled from solute transport. This assumption breaks down in complex fluids, such as protein or polymeric solutions, where the solute can influence evaporation …

We revisit hierarchical bracketing encodings from a practical perspective in the context of dependency graph parsing. The approach encodes graphs as sequences, enabling linear-time parsing with $n$ tagging actions, and still representing reentrancies, cycles, and empty nodes. Compared to existing graph linearizations, this representation substantially reduces the label space while preserving structural information. We evaluate it on a multilingual and multi-formalism benchmark, showing competit…

Entropy-Guided Loop: Achieving Reasoning through Uncertainty-Aware Generation
Reasoning models often outperform smaller models but at 3--5$\times$ higher cost and added latency. We present entropy-guided refinement: a lightweight, test-time loop that uses token-level uncertainty to trigger a single, targeted refinement pass. We extract logprobs, compute Shannon entropy on top-$k$ alternatives, and apply a simple OR-logic trigger over perplexity, maximum token entropy, and low-confidence-token count. Unlike approaches that use entropy only for measurement or decoding, we …

INR meets Multi-Contrast MRI Reconstruction
Multi-contrast MRI sequences allow for the acquisition of images with varying tissue contrast within a single scan. The resulting multi-contrast images can be used to extract quantitative information on tissue microstructure. To make such multi-contrast sequences feasible for clinical routine, the usually very long scan times need to be shortened e.g. through undersampling in k-space. However, this comes with challenges for the reconstruction. In general, advanced reconstruction techniques such…

Discovery of a $z \sim 0.8$ Ultra Steep Spectrum Radio Halo in the MeerKAT-South Pole Telescope Survey
Radio halos are diffuse synchrotron sources that trace the turbulent intracluster medium (ICM) of galaxy clusters. However, their origin remains unknown. Two main formation models have been proposed: the hadronic model, in which relativistic electrons are continuously injected by cosmic-ray protons; and the leptonic turbulent re-acceleration model, where cluster mergers re-energise electrons in situ. A key discriminant between the two models would be the existence of ultra-steep spectrum radio …

Asymptotic models for the evolution of a circular biofilm
We study a class of lubrication-type equations modeling the spread of thin poroelastic biofilms at air/agar interfaces. Starting from a biofilm slab model, we perform a formal multi-scale asymptotic expansion to derive a reduced nonlinear evolution equation with time-dependent coefficients. First, we establish a local-in-time existence result as well as a continuation criteria. Moreover, under suitable assumptions on the radius of the biofilm, we show the existence of global in time solutions. …

Compressed verification for post-quantum signatures with long-term public keys
Many signature applications-such as root certificates, secure software updates, and authentication protocols-involve long-lived public keys that are transferred or installed once and then used for many verifications. This key longevity makes post-quantum signature schemes with conservative assumptions (e.g., structure-free lattices) attractive for long-term security. But many such schemes, especially those with short signatures, suffer from extremely large public keys. Even in scenarios where b…

Galaxy clusters are among the largest and densest structures in the Universe. Their high density generally increases the suppression of star formation, known as quenching, altering galaxy properties. We study the quenching of emission-line galaxies (ELGs) in the rich cluster ZwCl 0024.0+1652 (Cl0024) at redshift $z\sim0.4$, aiming to determine if and how star formation is suppressed.

The discovery of thousands of exoplanets and the emergence of telescopes capable of exoplanet atmospheric characterization have intensified the search for habitable worlds. Due to selection biases, many exoplanets under study are planets deemed inhospitable because their surfaces are too warm to support liquid water. We propose that such planets could still support life through ionic liquids: Liquid salts with negligible vapor pressure that can persist on warm planets with thin atmospheres, whe…

This work digs into the connection between gravity and thermodynamics of stretched light cones (SLC). They are associated with uniformly accelerating observers, who endow the SLC with a physical notion of temperature via the Unruh effect. We compute the expansion, shear, and vorticity of the SLC to fully study its dynamics and account for the possibility of previously predicted non-equilibrium entropy production. For consistency, we prove the equivalence of the two different geometrical methods…

Hidden Figures of Globular Clusters: Integrated Stellar Populations Impacted by Hot Subdwarfs
Globular clusters (GCs) are fundamental for understanding the integrated light of old stellar populations and galaxy assembly processes. However, the role of hot, evolved stars, such as horizontal branch (HB), extreme HB, and blue stragglers, remains poorly constrained. These stars are often underrepresented or entirely excluded from stellar population models, despite their dominant contribution to the ultraviolet (UV) flux. Their presence can bias age estimates by mimicking the spectral signat…

We study the problem of monitoring at runtime whether a system fulfills a specification defined by a hyperproperty, such as linearizability or variants of non-interference. For this purpose, we introduce specifications with both passive and active quantification over traces. While passive trace quantifiers range over the traces that are observed, active trace quantifiers are instantiated with \emph{generator functions}, which are part of the specification. Generator functions enable the monitor…
