Sur l'asymptotique des sommes de Kempner pour de grandes bases
Let $K$ be the sum of the reciprocals of the integers with no occurrence of the digit $b-1$ in base $b$. We show $K = b\log(b) - A/b - B/b^2-C/b^3+O(1/b^4)$ with $A=ζ(2)/2$, $B = (3ζ(2)+ζ(3))/3$ and $C = (2ζ(2)+4ζ(3)+ζ(4))/4$.

Counterexamples to generalizations of the Erdős $B+B+t$ problem
Following their resolution of the Erdős $B+B+t$ problem, Kra Moreira, Richter, and Robertson posed a number of questions and conjectures related to infinite configurations in positive density subsets of the integers and other amenable groups. We give a negative answer to several of these questions and conjectures by producing families of counterexamples based on a construction of Ernst Straus. Included among our counterexamples, we exhibit, for any $\varepsilon > 0$, a set $A \subseteq \math…

Search for pair production of boosted Higgs bosons via vector-boson fusion in the $b\bar{b}b\bar{b}$ final state using $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV with the ATLAS detector
A search for Higgs boson pair production via vector-boson fusion is performed in the Lorentz-boosted regime, where a Higgs boson candidate is reconstructed as a single large-radius jet, using 140 fb$^{-1}$ of proton-proton collision data at $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV recorded by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. Only Higgs boson decays into bottom quark pairs are considered. The search is particularly sensitive to the quartic coupling between two vector bosons and two Higgs bosons relat…

On equivalence relations induced by Polish groups admitting compatible two-sided invariant metrics
Given a Polish group $G$, let $E(G)$ be the right coset equivalence relation $G^ω/c(G)$, where $c(G)$ is the group of all convergent sequences in $G$. We first established two results: (1) Let $G,H$ be two Polish groups. If $H$ is TSI but $G$ is not, then $E(G)\not\le_BE(H)$. (2) Let $G$ be a Polish group. Then the following are equivalent: (a) $G$ is TSI non-archimedean; (b)$E(G)\leq_B E_0^ω$; and (c) $E(G)\leq_B{\mathbb R}^ω/c_0$. In particular, $E(G)\sim_B E_0^ω$ iff $G$ is TSI uncount…

Statistical relations between spectropolarimetric observables and the polar strength of the stellar dipolar magnetic field

Statistical relations between spectropolarimetric observables and the polar strength of the stellar dipolar magnetic field
Global magnetic fields of early-type stars are commonly characterised by the mean longitudinal magnetic field $\langle B_{\rm z} \rangle$ and the mean field modulus $\langle B \rangle$, derived from the circular polarisation and intensity spectra, respectively. Observational studies often report a root mean square (rms) of $\langle B_{\rm z} \rangle$ and an average value of $\langle B \rangle$. In this work, I used numerical simulations to establish statistical relationships between these cumul…

On the subgroup regular set in Cayley graphs
A subset $C$ of the vertex set of a graph $Γ$ is said to be $(a,b)$-regular if $C$ induces an $a$-regular subgraph and every vertex outside $C$ is adjacent to exactly $b$ vertices in $C$. In particular, if $C$ is an $(a,b)$-regular set of some Cayley graph on a finite group $G$, then $C$ is called an $(a,b)$-regular set of $G$ and a $(0,1)$-regular set is called a perfect code of $G$.

Anomalies in Hadronic $B$ Decays

It is found that the individual fits to $ΔS=0$ or $ΔS=1$ decays are good, but the combined fit is very poor: there is a $3.6σ$ disagreement with the standard model. (This is quite a bit larger than the anomaly in $b \to s \ell^+ \ell^-$ transitions.) This discrepancy can be removed by adding SU(3)$_F$-bre…

The lepton flavor violating decays $h\to e_b^\pm e_a^\mp $, $Z\to e_b^\pm e_a^\mp$, and $e_b\to e_a γ$ will be discussed in the framework of the Two Higgs doublet model with presence of new inverse seesaw neutrinos and a singly charged Higgs boson that accommodate both $1σ$ experimental data of $(g-2)$ anomalies of the muon and electron. Numerical results indicate that there exist regions of the parameter space supporting all experimental data of $(g-2)_{e,μ}$ as well as the promising LFV si…

NYPD Officer Learns How to Drive MTA Bus—While Transporting Arrested Protesters - Hell Gate
"A lot of people were commenting like, oh God, I don't know if he's gonna make this turn."

Oh c'mon, 80F in April? Ugh.

I had 2 different conversations w/ strangers today. The first was a guy locking up his Aventon #ebike. He asked me where I charged my ebikes (I misheard him & thought he said "chained", so I said that I locked up outside). He told me he used to bring his battery inside to charge it, but his wife treats it like a bomb now so he charges in the garage.

The Foilies 2024: Recognizing the worst in government transparency
We're taught in school about checks and balances between the various branches of government, but those lessons tend to leave out the role that civilians play in holding officials accountable. We're not just talking about the ballot box, but the everyday power we all have to demand government agencies make their records and data available to public scrutiny.

I've been talking to some local bands for an article and out of interest found them on Spotify.
I was only thinking the other day that I don't really discover much new music any more. As somebody whose brain somewhat stopped at 90s indie music and political / riot grrrl / queer stuff (I do listen to other things, but those are my defaults), I do get in a rut.

the thing i miss most about before I became a parent is being able to have a 2-minute conversation without getting interrupted 30 times

I generally try to avoid shopping on #amazon (for various reasons), but my rule is that if something is only available on amazon or is much cheaper, I will shop there.
I bought something recently. They added me as a Prime member (I didn't click anything to become a prime member, but apparently I didn't uncheck something so they gave me a "free" month; which I don't…

The downside of replacing an ARM soc with an old laptop for a #SelfHosted server - when the server goes offline and it's because the cat sat on it, closing the lid and causing the laptop to suspend.

This also affects fedora and various other distributions as well. See https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2024/03/29/4 for the official report.

Okay, so another Curb-Cut Effect of using #AltText for sighted peeps: #mastodon (at least when your instance enables full-text) search also searches the alt text of posts.
So for example, maybe you want to find that toot you made involving a bowl; so you (if you're me) enter &quot…

Two fucking days in a row as I walked to the platform the F was pulling away. Next F train is in *15* mins, which is absolutely fucking ridiculous. I hate the MTA.

Ooof. "Free transit means less money to improve service", they say. "Fares are good," they say.

The MTA's Farebeating Crackdown on Buses Is a Mess - Hell Gate
When paying your bus fare isn't enough to make sure you don't get kicked off the bus.

Week #2 of my spouse being on a business trip. The children have gone feral. I'm subsisting off tree bark and random snacks I find under the couch cushions. The neighbors are complaining about a smell, but I'm afraid of what I'll find if I go looking for it.

I'm experimenting with saying to #MurderCat (who loves to play fetch, and likes tummy rubs unlike every other cat I've ever had) as I vigorously pet her, "Who's a good dog? WHOOS A GOOD DOOOG??" So far she's into it.
