Optimizing Districting Plans to Maximize Majority-Minority Districts via IPs and Local Search
In redistricting litigation, effective enforcement of the Voting Rights Act has often involved providing the court with districting plans that display a larger number of majority-minority districts than the current proposal (as was true, for example, in what followed Allen v. Milligan concerning the congressional districting plan for Alabama in 2023). Recent work by Cannon et al. proposed a heuristic algorithm for generating plans to optimize majority-minority districts, which they called short…

Singularity of Cannon-Thurston maps
In a closed fibered hyperbolic 3-manifold M, the inclusion of a fiber S, with S and M lifted to the universal covers gives an exponentially distorted embedding of the hyperbolic plane into hyperbolic 3-space. Nevertheless, Cannon and Thurston showed that there is a map from the circle at infinity of the hyperbolic plane to the 2-sphere at infinity of hyperbolic 3-space. The Cannon-Thurston map is surjective, finite-to-one, and gives a space-filling curve. Here we prove that many natural measure…

Cosmic Structure Strikes Back: The Elimination of Vector-Mediated Nonstandard Interaction Models as a Mechanism for Sterile Neutrino Dark Matter Production
We revisit sterile-neutrino production enabled by nonstandard interactions (NSI) among active neutrinos mediated by new bosons. We focus on vector mediators, including neutrinophilic, gauged $L_μ\!-\!L_τ$, and $B\!-\!L$ realizations that modify in-medium dispersion and scattering, thereby altering the active--sterile conversion history. Building on a novel production framework with NSI thermal potentials and collision integrals, we compute nonthermal phase-space distributions across sterile n…

Cannon of a shot, but given so much welcome to keep coming. Van Dijk thought to honor the other attacker, but the rest of the defending was terrible. Mac Allister just jogging in behind. Konate late to close down.

A Multiwavelength View of $ρ$ Oph I: Resolving the X-ray Source Between A and B
We present a multiwavelength analysis of the central stellar pair of $ρ$ Oph, components A and B. Using recent high-resolution \textit{Chandra X-ray Observatory} observations, we demonstrate with high confidence that the dominant X-ray source is $ρ$ Oph B, while $ρ$ Oph A is comparatively X-ray faint. This result contrasts with earlier \textit{XMM-Newton} observations, which, due to limited spatial resolutions, attributed the X-ray emission to $ρ$ Oph A. An analysis of $ρ$ Oph B's X-ray li…

Observational constraints on the nonlinear regime of gravity with a parametrized beyond-GR gravitational waveform model
Gravitational waves from compact binary coalescences provide unique opportunities to test general relativity (GR) in the strong-field regime. In particular, the merger phase, during which two compact objects finally coalesce, corresponds to the regime of the strongest gravitational fields accessible by direct observation and thus serves as a probe of the nonlinear nature of gravity. In this work, we test GR in the merger phase by analyzing GW150914 using a modified waveform proposed in [Watarai…

The double cone group is isomorphic to the archipelago group
We prove the conjecture of James W. Cannon and Gregory R. Conner that the fundamental group of the Griffiths double cone space is isomorphic to that of the harmonic archipelago. From this and earlier work in this area, we conclude that the isomorphism class of these groups is quite large and includes groups with a great variety of descriptions.

Bigger is Faster in the Adaptive Immune Response
Zoonotic pathogens represent a growing global risk, yet the speed of adaptive immune activation across mammalian species remains poorly understood. Despite orders-of-magnitude differences in size and metabolic rate, we show that the time to initiate adaptive immunity is remarkably consistent across species. To understand this invariance, we analyse empirical data showing how the numbers and sizes of lymph nodes scale with body mass, finding that larger animals have both more and larger lymph no…

Sampling tree-weighted partitions without sampling trees
This paper gives a new algorithm for sampling tree-weighted partitions of a large class of planar graphs. Formally, the tree-weighted distribution on $k$-partitions of a graph weights $k$-partitions proportional to the product of the number of spanning trees of each partition class. Recent work on problems in computational redistricting analysis has driven special interest in the conditional distribution where all partition classes have the same size (balanced partitions). One class of Markov c…

High-energy photons from Gamma-Ray Bursts, but no neutrinos
The Cannon-Ball model of Gamma-Ray Bursts and their afterglows--described in the text and in innumerable previous occasions--is extremely successful and predictive. In a few intrinsically bright GRBs, gamma-rays with energies in the TeV range have been observed. The CB model, I argue, has no difficulty in describing the origin and approximate properties of these high-energy gamma rays and the extreme difficulty of observing their accompanying neutrinos.
