For finite graphs, path-width is an interesting and useful concept, but if we extend it to infinite graphs in the most obvious way (by making the indexing path infinite), it does not work nicely. The simplest extension that works nicely is to allow the indexing set to be any totally-ordered set, and then the corresponding decomposition is called a ``line-decomposition'', and the maximum bag size needed is called ``line-width''. In particular, the indexing set need not be a well-order; but the…

Bosonic content of three-fermion high-spin states

It is based upon a formal decomposition of the wave function into a finite set of fixed invariants, called shapes, whose sole purpose is to satisfy the Pauli principle, and a variable part, constituting the bosonic excitations of these invariants, that provides its physical content. As an example, this decomposition is applied to a benchmark-quality approximate wave function of the l…

Geometric Interpolation of Rigid Body Motions
The problem of interpolating a rigid body motion is to find a spatial trajectory between a prescribed initial and terminal pose. Two variants of this interpolation problem are addressed. The first is to find a solution that satisfies initial conditions on the k-1 derivatives of the rigid body twist. This is called the kth-order initial value trajectory interpolation problem (k-IV-TIP). The second is to find a solution that satisfies conditions on the rigid body twist and its k-1 derivatives at …

Chern classes of the multilayer fractional quantum Hall bundle on Riemann surfaces
The so-called multilayer wave functions were introduced in the study of the fractional Quantum Hall effect by Halperin and others. They are defined with the help of a symmetric matrix $K$ in $M^k(\mathbb{N})$, which encodes the couplings between the $k$ layers where particles live. We study the multilayer quantum states in the case where each layer is a Riemann surface of genus $g$. These states form a vector bundle over the Jacobian variety of the Riemann surface, or the space of Aharonov-Bohm…

Deep Learning as the Disciplined Construction of Tame Objects
One can see deep-learning models as compositions of functions within the so-called tame geometry. In this expository note, we give an overview of some topics at the interface of tame geometry (also known as o-minimality), optimization theory, and deep learning theory and practice. To do so, we gradually introduce the concepts and tools used to build convergence guarantees for stochastic gradient descent in a general nonsmooth nonconvex, but tame, setting. This illustrates some ways in which tam…

Multifield models, arising from multiple scalars interacting with gravity, provide a rich theoretical framework for addressing fundamental problems in modern cosmology. A key role in this regard is played by the so called rapid turn regime, which is characterized by background solutions with strongly non-geodesic field-space trajectories. We review the implications of this regime for a number of problems relevant for cosmological inflation, dark matter and dark energy. We focus, in more detail,…

We exploit the limitations of classical WAIC in th…

In this article we consider functional graphs on Z/mZ with respect to polynomial functions. The main result describes the behavior of cycles in functional graphs on Z/p^nZ while $n$ is increasing, where $p$ is a prime number.

Existence, uniqueness and construction of locally most reliable two-terminal graphs
A two-terminal graph is a graph G equipped with two vertices in V(G) called terminals. Let T(n,m) be the set of two-terminal graphs on n vertices and m edges. Let G be in T(n,m) and let p be in [0,1]. The two-terminal reliability of G at p, denoted R_G(p), is the probability that G has a path joining its terminals after each of its edges is independently removed with probability 1 - p. We say G is a locally most reliable two-terminal graph (LMRTTG) if for each H in T(n,m) there exists a positiv…

STM32MP2 update: I think I have a pretty decent idea of how to boot the second A35 core (core 1) once I have core 0 running.
Still working on how to start core 0 so I can get to that point.
I'm just gonna go out on a limb here and say this probably isn't how ST intends you to figure out the boot chain though...

Computational results on semistrong edge coloring of graphs
The semistrong edge coloring, as a relaxation of the well-known strong edge coloring, can be used to model efficient communication scheduling in wireless networks. An edge coloring of a graph $G$ is called \emph{semistrong} if every color class $M$ is a matching such that every edge of $M$ is incident with a vertex of degree 1 in the subgraph of $G$ induced by the endvertices of edges in $M$. The \emph{semistrong chromatic index} $χ_{ss}'(G)$ of $G$ is the minimum number of colors required for…

Home goods company Kohler recently unveiled a new device called the Dekoda
— a $599 camera that can be attached to your toilet bowl and take pictures of what’s inside.
The Dekoda analyzes these images in order to provide updates on your gut health and hydration,
and to potentially detect blood.
It also comes with a rechargeable battery, a USB connection, and a fingerprint sensor to identify who’s using the toilet.

On Ternary Trees and Fighting Fish
Fighting fish is a combinatorial configuration introduced by Duchi et al. as a new model of branching surfaces that generalizes directed convex polyominoes. We come up with an alternative construction of fighting fish, using a tree structure built on the so-called stem cells of fighting fish. From this perspective, we establish a bijection between ternary trees and fighting fish with a marked strip of cells, which specializes to a direct bijection between left ternary trees and fighting fish. U…

Two combinatorial puzzles arising from the theory of Kohnert polynomials
Motivated by recent work of Hanser and Mayers, we study two combinatorial puzzles arising from the theory of Kohnert polynomials. Such polynomials are defined as generating polynomials for certain collections of diagrams consisting of unit cells arranged in the first quadrant generated from an initial "seed diagram" by applying what are called "Kohnert moves". Each Kohnert move affects the position of at most cell of a diagram, attempting to move the rightmost cell of a given row to the first a…

Oregon’s governor, Tina Kotek,
just called on a federal appeals court to review and overturn a decision made by a three-judge panel on Monday
that would permit Donald Trump to deploy federalized national guard troops to the streets of Portland against the wishes of state and local officials.
Speaking to reporters at a virtual news conference, Kotek said that she hopes the full ninth circuit court of appeals vacates the panel’s decision 2-1 decision,
as the dissenting j…

There have been 1,295 cases of pertussis, also called whooping cough, in Florida, an 81 percent surge compared to the entirety of 2024. 
And nationwide, cases rose six-fold in 2024 compared to the year before, CDC figures show, a sign of waning immunity against a disease that once struck hundreds of thousands.

Cases of Victorian-era whooping cough soar in Florida amid plummeting vaccine rates
Cases of a Victorian-era disease have soared in Florida over the past year amid state Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo's declaration to end all vaccine mandates for children.

The technology offers hope to people with an advanced form of dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD), called geographic atrophy (GA),
which affects more than 250,000 people in the UK and five million worldwide.
In those with the condition - which is more common in older people - cells in a tiny area of the retina at the back of the eye gradually become damaged and die,
resulting in blurred or distorted central vision.
Colour and fine detail are often lost.

She is a driving force in a campaign that has chipped away at the foundations of modern public health in Idaho.
Her group had just gotten lawmakers to pass what she called the first true “medical freedom” bill in the nation.

Idaho Banned Vaccine Mandates. Activists Want to Make It a Model for the Country.
The Idaho Medical Freedom Act makes it illegal to require anyone to take a vaccine or receive “medical intervention.” Leslie Manookian, the activist behind the law, hopes to make it a “societal norm” for the rest of the country.
