Closing asset loophole could add billions to tax collections, IRS says
The Biden administration plans to stop businesses and wealthy individuals from manipulating the value of assets in arcane ways such as using the same assets over and over to lower their taxes.
High-end business partnerships like hedge funds and wealthy individuals such as real estate investors have inappropriately used labyrinthine structures to shield tens of billions of dollars from taxation, Treasury Departm…

Conservative details what really fuels Trump voters’ 'core identity'
During his appearances on MSNBC, Stuart Stevens — a veteran conservative strategist/consultant and outspoken Never Trumper — has been arguing that when independent voters get a really good look at presumptive 2024 GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump, incumbent President Joe Biden will enjoy a majo...

Testing unified models for the origin of ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays and neutrinos:Multimessenger approaches with x-ray observations
The unified models of astrophysical sources to account for ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) and high-energy cosmic neutrinos with energies greater than 100 TeV have been discussed. Based on model-independent arguments, we argue that if the photomeson production is the dominant mechanism, the most probable candidate sources are x-ray transient objects, allowing for the semi-transparency for the photomeson production. We develop a generic model of high-energy neutrino emitters accompanied by…

Non-Hermitian expander obtained with Haar distributed unitaries
We consider a random quantum channel obtained by taking a selection of $d$ independent and Haar distributed $N$ dimensional unitaries. We follow the argument of Hastings to bound the spectral gap in terms of eigenvalues and adapt it to give an exact estimate of the spectral gap in terms of singular values \cite{hastings2007random,harrow2007quantum}. This shows that we have constructed a random quantum expander in terms of both singular values and eigenvalues. The lower bound is an analog of the…
