Justice Department Sides With Paramount on Demand That States Post $1.88 Billion Bond
The government stressed that it concluded in its investigation that the merger won't undermine competition.

Since it was relevant to a discussion I just had on here and is something most people probably haven't thought about much (unless you've taken one of a handful of philosophy classes), I thought I'd try to lay out a key piece of Descartes' Meditations (#philosophy

Stability of Einstein 4-manifolds satisfying a chiral curvature condition

https://arxiv.org/abs/2609.15159 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2609.15159 https://arxiv.org/html/2609.15159
arXiv:2609.15159v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Let $(M,g)$ be a compact oriented Einstein four-manifold with Einstein constant $E$ and let $\widehat{R}^ $ denote the action of the Riemann curvature tensor on self-dual two-forms. We show that if $\widehat{R}^ < 0$, then $g$ is strictly linearly stable for the Einstein-Hilbert functional, thus giving a chiral criterion for stability. Our result is stronger than the one by Fine-Krasnov-Singer, who conclude local rigidity from $\widehat{R}^ < 0$ by proving stability for a different action functional. Our proof proceeds by showing that $(M,g)$ admits a natural spin$^h$ structure carrying a non-zero parallel spin$^h$-spinor. We then apply a lower bound on the Lichnerowicz Laplacian on traceless symmetric two-tensors in the presence of such a spinor.
