Hamiltonian connectivity of some base-cobase graphs
There has been wide interest in understanding which properties of base graphs of matroids extend to base-cobase graphs of matroids. A significant result of Naddef and Pulleyblank (1984) shows that the $1$-skeleton of any $(0,1)$-polytope is either a hypercube, or Hamiltonian-connected, i.e. there is a Hamiltonian path connecting any two vertices. In particular, this is true for base graphs of matroids. A natural question raised by Farber, Richter, and Shank (1985) is whether this extends to bas…

A Comparative Study of Floating-Base Space Parameterizations for Agile Whole-Body Motion Planning
Automatically generating agile whole-body motions for legged and humanoid robots remains a fundamental challenge in robotics. While numerous trajectory optimization approaches have been proposed, there is no clear guideline on how the choice of floating-base space parameterization affects performance, especially for agile behaviors involving complex contact dynamics. In this paper, we present a comparative study of different parameterizations for direct transcription-based trajectory optimizati…

Thabit and Williams Numbers Base $b$ as a Sum or Difference of Two $g$-Repdigits
We investigate cases where Thabit and Williams numbers in base $b$ can be expressed as the sum or difference of two $g$-repdigits. For specific values of $b$ and $g$, we describe parametric solutions yielding infinitely many solutions for some equations and establish upper bounds for the parameters of the remaining finitely many solutions. As an illustration, we also provide a complete solution for some equations.

Reachability is Decidable for ATM-Typable Finitary PCF with Effect Handlers
It is well known that the reachability problem for simply-typed lambda calculus with recursive definitions and finite base-type values (finitary PCF) is decidable. A recent paper by Dal Lago and Ghyselen has shown that the same problem becomes undecidable when the language is extended with algebraic effect and handlers (effect handlers). We show that, perhaps surprisingly, the problem becomes decidable even with effect handlers when the type system is extended with answer type modification (ATM…

Note on the linearisation of finite abelian groups
If $K$ is a field \textit{with enough roots of unity} and $V$ an abelian group, the $K$-algebra $K[V]$ of the group $V$ is split semisimple, so that the canonical morphism $K[V]\to K^{V^\sharp}$, where $V^\sharp$ denotes the dual group of $V$ (which may be seen as Hom$(V,K^\times)$), is an isomorphism of $K$-algebras. If one removes the assumption that $K$ has enough roots of unity, one can easily deduce from it (by using a base change and Krull-Schmidt) that it remains a $K$-linear isomorphism…

Efficient Remote Monitoring through Noisy Random Access with Retransmissions
We consider a rare event monitoring system consisting of a set of devices and a base station, where devices transmit information about rare events to the base station using a random multiple access scheme. We introduce a model in which the presence of noise in the multiple access channel can cause message loss even in the absence of transmission collisions. The occurrence of events is modeled by a family of independent two-state Markov chains (with states 0 and 1). We analyze how repeated trans…

Guaranteeing and Explaining Stability across Heterogeneous Load Balancing using Calculus Network Dynamics
Load balancing between base stations (BSs) allows BS capacity to be efficiently utilised and avoid outages. Currently, data-driven mechanisms strive to balance inter-BS load and reduce unnecessary handovers. The challenge is that over a large number of BSs, networks observe an oscillatory effect of load evolution that causes high inter-BS messaging. Without a calculus function that integrates network topology to describe the evolution of load states, current data-driven algorithms cannot explai…

In PAC learning where such tradeoffs were first studied, the question is whether computational efficiency can come at th…

We trained a wide range of base models on a variety of datasets including code generation, mathematical reasoning, and general-domain tasks, resulting in 1,000+ SFT models under controlled conditions. We then identified the dataset properties that matter most and examined the layer-wise modifications introduced by SFT. Our…

We should acknowledge that if there is an "Epstein client list",
there’s a good chance Donald Trump is on it.
“I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy,” Trump said in 2002.
“He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.”
Is that why Bondi won’t release the list?
Quite the enticing possibility.

DynaGuide: Steering Diffusion Polices with Active Dynamic Guidance
Deploying large, complex policies in the real world requires the ability to steer them to fit the needs of a situation. Most common steering approaches, like goal-conditioning, require training the robot policy with a distribution of test-time objectives in mind. To overcome this limitation, we present DynaGuide, a steering method for diffusion policies using guidance from an external dynamics model during the diffusion denoising process. DynaGuide separates the dynamics model from the base pol…

An introduction to representation-theoretic canonical bases of cluster algebras
This is an introduction to cluster algebras and their common triangular bases. These bases are Kazhdan-Lusztig-type and serve as the canonical bases of cluster algebras from the representation-theoretic point of view. We review seeds associated with signed words, cluster operations (freezing and base change), the extension technique from finite to infinite rank, which are convenient tools to study these algebras and their bases. We present recent results on the topic and provide examples. An ap…

Out-of-Band Modality Synergy Based Multi-User Beam Prediction and Proactive BS Selection with Zero Pilot Overhead
Multi-user millimeter-wave communication relies on narrow beams and dense cell deployments to ensure reliable connectivity. However, tracking optimal beams for multiple mobile users across multiple base stations (BSs) results in significant signaling overhead. Recent works have explored the capability of out-of-band (OOB) modalities in obtaining spatial characteristics of wireless channels and reducing pilot overhead in single-BS single-user/multi-user systems. However, applying OOB modalities …

Positional numeral systems over polyadic rings
We construct positional numeral systems that work natively over nonderived polyadic $\left( m,n\right) $-rings whose addition takes $m$ arguments and multiplication takes $n$. In such rings, the length of an admissible additive word and a multiplicative tower are not arbitrary (as in the binary case), but \textquotedblleft quantized\textquotedblright. Our main contributions are the following. Existence: every commutative $\left( m,n\right) $-ring admits a base-$p$ place-value expansion that res…

A Non-Trivial $(\mathbf{R}, )$ Principal Bundle over a Contractible Base

A Non-Trivial $(\mathbf{R},+)$ Principal Bundle over a Contractible Base
We present an explicit example of a non-trivial $(\mathbf{R},+)$ principal bundle $π: \mathrm{W}_α\to \mathrm{D}_α$ within the framework of diffeology, where the base space $\mathrm{D}_α$ is smoothly contractible. This stands in stark contrast to classical bundle theory over manifolds, where such bundles are always trivial, as well as principal fiber bundles with contractible fiber. The non-triviality is shown to stem from a fundamental obstruction to the existence of a smooth connection, i…

Reinforcement Learning-Based Policy Optimisation For Heterogeneous Radio Access
Flexible and efficient wireless resource sharing across heterogeneous services is a key objective for future wireless networks. In this context, we investigate the performance of a system where latency-constrained internet-of-things (IoT) devices coexist with a broadband user. The base station adopts a grant-free access framework to manage resource allocation, either through orthogonal radio access network (RAN) slicing or by allowing shared access between services. For the IoT users, we propos…

Evaluating the Performance of Reconfigurable Intelligent Base Stations through Ray Tracing
Massive multiple-input multiple-output (mMIMO) is a key capacity-boosting technology in 5G wireless systems. To reduce the number of radio frequency (RF) chains needed in such systems, a novel approach has recently been introduced involving an antenna array supported by a reconfigurable intelligent surface. This arrangement, known as a reconfigurable intelligent base station (RIBS), offers performance comparable to that of a traditional mMIMO array, but with significantly fewer RF chains. Given…

We present Poutine, a 3B-parameter vision-language model (VLM) tailored for end-to-end autonomous driving in long-tail driving scenarios. Poutine is trained in two stages. To obtain strong base driving capabilities, we train Poutine-Base in a self-supervised vision-language-trajectory (VLT) next-token prediction fashion on 83 hours of CoVLA nominal driving and 11 hours of Waymo long-tail driving. Accompanying language annotations are auto-generated with a 72B-parameter VLM. Poutine is obtained …

Eliciting Reasoning in Language Models with Cognitive Tools
The recent advent of reasoning models like OpenAI's o1 was met with excited speculation by the AI community about the mechanisms underlying these capabilities in closed models, followed by a rush of replication efforts, particularly from the open source community. These speculations were largely settled by the demonstration from DeepSeek-R1 that chains-of-thought and reinforcement learning (RL) can effectively replicate reasoning on top of base LLMs. However, it remains valuable to explore alte…
