Prime numbers with an almost prime reverse

Prime numbers with an almost prime reverse
Let $b$ be an integer greater than or equal to $2$. For any integer $n\in \left[b^{λ-1}, b^λ-1\right]$, we denote by $R_λ(n)$ the reverse of $n$ in base $b$, obtained by reversing the order of the digits of $n$. We establish a Bombieri-Vinogradov type theorem for the set of the reverses of the prime numbers. Combined with sieve methods, this permits us to prove that there exist $Ω_b\in\mathbb{N}$ and $c_b>0$ such that, for at least $c_b b^λ λ^{-2}$ primes $p\in \left[b^{λ-1}, b^λ-1\righ…

Size of exceptional sets in weakly mixing systems
For any weakly mixing system \((X,\mcr{B},μ,T)\) and any \(A,B\in\mcr{B}\), it is well known that there exists a density-zero ``exceptional set'' \(J_{A,B}\subseteq\mathbb{N}\) along which \[ μ\bigl(A\cap T^{-n}B\bigr)\toμ(A)\,μ(B) \] for $n\notin J_{A,B}$. In this paper, we investigate finer quantitative properties of the exceptional set. First, assuming a given rate of weak mixing, we derive an explicit upper bound on \[ \bigl|J_{A,B}\cap[0,n]\bigr| \] in terms of that rate. We …

The state is interpreted as the $1^+$ member of the $πf_{7/2}\otimesνf_{5/2}$ spin-coupled multiplet, which decays to the $3^+,πf_{7/2} \otimes νp_{1/2}$ ground state. The new half-life corresponds to a pure $E2$ transition with a strength of 1.93(16) W.u., providing the most precise, unambiguous $B(E2)$ value in the neutron-rich $fp$ region to d…

Fundamental Complement of a Gravitating Region
Any gravitating region $a$ in any spacetime gives rise to a generalized entanglement wedge, the hologram $e(a)$. Holograms exhibit properties expected of fundamental operator algebras, such as strong subadditivity, nesting, and no-cloning. But the entanglement wedge EW of an AdS boundary region $B$ with commutant $\bar B$ satisfies an additional condition, complementarity: EW$(B)$ is the spacelike complement of EW$(\bar B)$ in the bulk. Here we identify an analogue of the boundary commutant $…

Heavy scalar molecule $B_{c}^{+} B_{c}^{-}$
Mass and full width of the heavy scalar molecule $\mathcal{M}$ composed of the mesons $B_{c}^{+}$ and $B_{c}^{-}$ are calculated in QCD sum rule framework. To find its mass and current coupling we apply the two-point sum rule method. The width of the hadronic molecule $\mathcal{M} =B_{c}^{+}B_{c}^{-}$ is evaluated by taking into account its dissociation to $η_cη_{b}, J/ψΥ$, and $ B_{c}^{+}B_{c}^{-} $ mesons.

The barbarian role of cultural demolition crew is especially important when you consider how often cultural reconstruction is needed. Many of Rome’s glaring defects — exploitation, authoritarianism, corrupt self-aggrandizement — flow from deeply human tendencies. Time and again they’ve transformed promising civilizations into decaying, oppressive monstrosities. Time and again, history seems to cry out: Bring on the demolition crew! And time and again barbarians cheerfully respond to the call. Their previous massive wreaking of destruction, near the end of the second millennium B.C., had come after civilization went through centuries of apparent ossification.
In a way, barbarians are just a special case of that general and potent zero-sum dynamic in cultural evolution: brutal competition among neighboring societies. This rivalry renders ossified cultures vulnerable to a makeover, minor or major. They may be taken over by a vast neighboring civilization, which will revamp them in its image. Or they may be infiltrated and perhaps even disassembled by barbarians, paving the way for future reassembly. Or they may revive and prevail — an example of the “challenge and response” dynamic stressed by Arnold Toynbee. In any event, the point remains the same: however deeply human the tendencies of exploitation, authoritarianism, and self-aggrandizement, cultures that surrender to them may not be long for this world.

We give an asymptotically sharp quantitative version of this theorem with respect to an isothermal coordinate chart. Roughly speaking, we show that if $B$ is a Riemannian disc of radius $δ> 0$ with $δ^{2}\sup_{B}|K| < \varepsilon$ for som…

The primary reason small-scale radio astronomical experiments rarely produce cutting-edge scientific results is the limitation of funding availab…

JENNA: She's right, Blake. He's led a privileged life. He's got money.
BLAKE: He's also been on the move for a long time.

We have #baseball tonight. Kind of a weird setup because last night's game was rained out. So, today is two 7 inning games. We arrived to catch the end of one and the beginning of the second.

AVON: A sort of tone, he said.
CALLY: Oscillating. It was there again just now.

Since at least 2009, I've had 4-5 git repositories online with gitweb.cgi for projects I worked on in the mid/late 2000s. Nothing super important, and no activity since 2010 or so, but just sitting there available.
I just had to kill the web server because facebook's web crawlers are hitting the webserver so hard and overloading the cheap VPS that it's on (which I'm using for other things). It has literally been no bother for 15 years until now.
Meta truly is a …

Damn, using the UK's visa app to read a passport chip via NFC is a pretty extreme exercise in frustration. Got locked out twice (on the backend by UK servers, not the app itself!) in my attempts, each with an hour wait to be unlocked.

So it's been a little while now. How are people liking their #Tongsheng TSDZ8s? And their #Toseven DM02s? I'd love to know how they're holding up to abuse after 1 year.

In the past week I have sent emails to and called 3 of my local (city & state) electeds regarding active legislation. I have not heard back from a single one of them.
I don't feel particularly represented right now. You're going to have to EARN my vote in the next election.

As always: #ACAB. And especially fuckers who lead your local PD, even if they come from other departments (like sanitation). https://nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/05/30

The 13yo was making instant mac & cheese (incorrectly), and my wife yelled "READ the instructions!"
The 13yo responded with, "I DID read the instructions,"and she replied "A day in the library saves a week in the lab." Which I guess is a real expression that scientists say?
