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. Decays into $D$ and $B$ meson pairs with appropriate charges and quantum numbers tr…

Symplectic Quasi Self-dual, Self-dual, and LCD Codes over Non-unital Rings of Order Six
We consider codes over the two semi-local non-unital rings of order six, \[ H_{23} = \langle a,b \mid 2a=0, 3b = 0, a^2=a, b^2 = 0, ab = 0 = ba \rangle,\] and \[H_{32} = \langle a,b \mid 2a=0, 3b = 0, a^2=0, b^2 = b, ab = 0 = ba \rangle. \] with respect to a symplectic inner product. Via the decomposition $\mathcal{C} = a\,\mathcal{C}_a\oplus b\,\mathcal{C}_b$, any $H_z$-code splits into a binary component $\mathcal{C}_a$ and a ternary component $\mathcal{C}_b$; this yields characterizations of…

Determining explicitly the Mordell-Weil group of certain rational elliptic surfaces
Let $A,B$ be nonzero rational numbers. Consider the elliptic curve $E_{A,B}/\mathbb{Q}(t)$ with Weierstrass equation $y^2=x^3+At^6+B$. An algorithm to determine $\mathrm{rank } E_{A,B}(\mathbb{Q}(t))$ as a function of $(A,B)$ was presented in a recent paper by Desjardins and Naskrecki. We will give a different and shorter proof for the correctness of that algorithm, using a more geometric approach and discuss for which classes of examples this approach might be useful.

Infinite polynomial patterns in large subsets of the rational numbers
Inspired by a question of Kra, Moreira, Richter, and Robertson, we prove two new results about infinite polynomial configurations in large subsets of the rational numbers. First, given a finite coloring of $\mathbb{Q}$, we show that there exists an infinite set $B = \{b_n : n \in \mathbb{N}\} \subseteq \mathbb{Q}$ such that $\{b_i, b_i^2 + b_j : i < j\}$ is monochromatic. Second, we prove that every subset of positive density in the rational numbers contains a translate of such an infinite conf…

A Two-armed Bandit Framework for A/B Testing
A/B testing is widely used in modern technology companies for policy evaluation and product deployment, with the goal of comparing the outcomes under a newly-developed policy against a standard control. Various causal inference and reinforcement learning methods developed in the literature are applicable to A/B testing. This paper introduces a two-armed bandit framework designed to improve the power of existing approaches. The proposed procedure consists of three main steps: (i) employing doubl…

The fact that the public can’t be sure whether the John Bolton investigation is legitimate
highlights the current crisis of trust in federal law enforcement,
a crisis that has been exacerbated by the words and actions of Trump and members of his administration.
The F.B.I.’s history shows that public trust is easily lost and difficult to rebuild — a lesson that we may have to (re)learn.

Benford Behavior in Stick Fragmentation Problems
Benford's law is the statement that in many real-world data sets, the probability of having digit \(d\) in base \(B\), where \(1 \leq d \leq B\), as the first digit is \(\log_{B}\left(\tfrac{d+1}{d}\right)\). We sometimes refer to this as weak Benford behavior, and we say that a data set exhibits strong Benford behavior in base \(B\) if the probability of having significand at most \(s\), where \(s \in [1,B)\), is \(\log_{B}(s)\). We examine Benford behaviors in the stick fragmentation model. B…

The Super-Kamiokande detector has measured solar neutrinos for more than $25$ years. The sensitivity for solar neutrino measurement is limited by the uncertainties of energy scale and background modeling. Decays of unstable isotopes with relatively long half-lives through nuclear muon capture, such as $\mathrm{^{16}N}$, $\mathrm{^{15}C}$, $\mathrm{^{12}B}$ and $\mathrm{^{13}B}$, are detected as background events for solar neutrino observations.

The features of phonon spectra and their effect on the vibrational heat capacity of linear chains of inert gas atoms adsorbed onto a substrate, which is the surface of nanotubes bound to a nanobundle. The influence of the substrate results both in a shift of the lower limit of the chain spectrum from zero, and in mechanical stress in the chain (its extension or compression) also. It is shown that in the case of a compressed chain, the non-central interaction between atoms is negative (repulsive…

Pro and the third author showed that there are Riemannian submersions $π: M \to B$ with $M$ a compact manifold with positive Ricci curvature, whose base $B$, has Ricci curvatures with both signs. Thus, Riemannian submersions need not preserve positive Ricci curvature. In this note we establish the degree to which this result extends into the setting of positive intermediate Ricci curvature. It is an immediate consequence of the Gray--O'Neill Horizontal curvature equation that if $π: M\to B$…

On Pareto-Optimal and Fair Allocations with Personalized Bi-Valued Utilities

Specifically, each agent $i$ assigns one of two positive values $a_i > b_i > 0$ to each good, indicating that agent $i$'s valuation of any good is either $a_i$ or $b_i$. For convenience, we denote the value ratio of agent $i$ as $r_i = a_i / b_i$. We give a characterization to all the Pareto-optimal allocations. Our characterization implies a polynomial-time alg…

On the semigroup of endomorphisms of the semigroup $\boldsymbol{B}_ω^{\mathscr{F}^2}$ with the two-element family $\mathscr{F}^2$ of inductive nonempty subsets of $ω$
We study the semigroup $\overline{\boldsymbol{End}}(\boldsymbol{B}_ω^{\mathscr{F}^2})$ of all endomorphisms of the bicyclic extension $\boldsymbol{B}_ω^{\mathscr{F}^2}$ with the two-element family $\mathscr{F}^2$ of inductive nonempty subsets of $ω$. The submonoid $\left\langle\varpi\right\rangle^1$ of $\overline{\boldsymbol{End}}(\boldsymbol{B}_ω^{\mathscr{F}^2})$ with the property that every element of the semigroup $\overline{\boldsymbol{End}}(\boldsymbol{B}_ω^{\mathscr{F}^2})$ has the …

I rode on this street (15th Ave NE) 1000s of times with no bike lane, when I used to live on 16th Ave NE. It sucked. I pointed out that drivers only really parked on one side of the street. The city had a plan to repave and add a protected bike lane, but it was delayed for years due to, of all things, "natural gas" pipe expansions. I moved to NYC before they started the project.
It looks SO GOOD, and just as I predicted, the parking is not overloaded despite being on only one…

California highway project will ‘dump half a billion dollars into the ocean’ - Lemmy.World
Caltrans has proposed a $500 million project to widen a wine country highway that the agency said could be underwater in 25 years. Members of the California Transportation Commission will decide at a public meeting beginning Thursday whether to award Caltrans and local agencies a $73 million grant that would cover some of the cost to widen Highway 37 — a roadway linking Vallejo to Sears Point across the Napa Sonoma Marsh, much of which is only one lane in each direction. In the long term, Cal…

So the good news is, NYC will likely have a Mayor who isn't a puppet for Trump.
The bad news is, the feds are absolutely going to be pulling as much funding from NYC as they can. We're going to need NY state support ASAP. Hopefully Hochul & lawmakers realize and understand that, rather than just being terrified by a brown man in office.
