Electronic properties of the Radium-monochalcogenides RaX (X = O,S,Se) and RaO /- ions

Abstract: We present a theoretical investigation on the electronic structure and properties of radium monochalcogenides, with chalcogens O, S, and Se, as well as the ionic species RaO /-. Our approach combines fully relativistic and partially relativistic quantum-chemistry methods. Electronic properties are obtained using the exact two-component Hamiltonian-based coupled-cluster approach with single, double, and perturbative triple excitations [CCSD(T) X2C], while potential energy curves are computed using an internally contracted multireference configuration interaction method, including relativistic effects through small-core pseudopotentials and Pauli-Breit operator diagonalization (MRCI Q ECP SO). The dimers exhibit very large permanent dipole moments and sizable dipolar polarizabilities, while the Franck-Condon factors among the lowest electronic states are highly non-diagonal. These features are discussed in terms of the divalent character of the chemical bonding in the neutral species.

In Agent Running in the Field, Le Carré gave himself a variety of characters through which he could vent his anger at Brexit, Trump, oligarchs, the state of the world & its intelligence services: Ed, Florence, Prue.

CalliMaster: Mastering Page-level Chinese Calligraphy via Layout-guided Spatial Planning
Page-level calligraphy synthesis requires balancing glyph precision with layout composition. Existing character models lack spatial context, while page-level methods often compromise brushwork detail. In this paper, we present \textbf{CalliMaster}, a unified framework for controllable generation and editing that resolves this conflict by decoupling spatial planning from content synthesis. Inspired by the human cognitive process of ``planning before writing'', we introduce a coarse-to-fine pipel…

1. Use "globs" in the specification.
2. Decide that "glob" may be ambiguous, so add severe restrictions on what's supported.
3. Because of the severe restrictions, people may have reinvented the wheel instead of using system `glob` module.
4. Since people may have used their custom implementations, just relaxing the spec is a problem.

Australia marks 60 years since switching to decimal currency
Six decades ago, Australia swapped its old currency for dollars and cents. A catchy jingle sung by a cartoon character named Dollar Bill helped the country adapt.

Because @…’s Flipboard site won’t scroll for me (?!?), here’s the paragraph with the punch:
❝It’s worth noting that over the decades, Pixar has explored topics such as, but [not*] limited to: becoming a widower, suddenly becoming a single or adoptive parent, environmental collapse, existential dread, motherhood, and job burnout. The first Incredibles has a subplot where Elastigirl thinks Mr. Incredible is having an affair, Toy Story 3 has the toys accept death by furnace, and Elemental is about interracial relationships. The last two movies Docter directed were Soul, which is about a Black man finding joy in his life again, and Inside Out—maybe the most therapy-ass movie (and series) in the studio’s entire 40-year tenure—is about messy preteen emotions that lead to its main character running away from home.❞

Geometric configuration of integrally closed Noetherian domains
Gyu Whan Chang, Giulio Peruginelli
https://arxiv.org/abs/2601.22314 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2601.22314 https://arxiv.org/html/2601.22314
arXiv:2601.22314v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: In this paper, we completely describe the family of integrally closed Noetherian domains between $\mathbb{Z}[X]$ and $\mathbb{Q}[X]$. We accomplish this result by classifying the Krull domains between these two polynomial rings. To this end, we first describe the DVRs of $\mathbb{Q}(X)$ lying over $\mathbb{Z}_{(p)}$ for some prime $p \in \mathbb{Z}$, by distinguishing them according to whether the extension of the residue fields is algebraic or transcendental. We unify the known descriptions of such valuations by considering ultrametric balls in $\mathbb{C}_p$, the completion of the algebraic closure of the field $\mathbb{Q}_p$ of $p$-adic numbers. We then study when the intersection $R$ of such DVRs with $\mathbb{Q}[X]$ is of finite character, so that $R$ is a Krull domain, and we finally compute the divisor class group of $R$. It turns out that such a ring is formed by those polynomials which simultaneously map a finite union of ultrametric balls of $\mathbb{C}_p$ to its valuation domain $\mathbb{O}_p$, as $p\in\mathbb{Z}$ ranges through the set of primes. By a result of Heinzer, the Krull domains of this class are precisely the integrally closed Noetherian domains between $\mathbb{Z}[X]$ and $\mathbb{Q}[X]$. This novel approach provides a geometric understanding of this class of integrally closed domains. Furthermore, we also describe the UFDs between $\mathbb{Z}[X]$ and $\mathbb{Q}[X]$.

Legendrian and Lagrangian higher torsion

https://arxiv.org/abs/2603.28007 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2603.28007 https://arxiv.org/html/2603.28007
arXiv:2603.28007v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Let $M$ be a closed manifold. We introduce a family of Legendrian isotopy invariants for Legendrians in $J^1M$, which we collectively call Legendrian higher torsion. Given a choice of a class $\mathcal{F}$ of fibre bundles over $M$, equipped with suitable unitary local systems, the Legendrian higher torsion of a Legendrian $\Lambda \subset J^1M$ is the subset of $H^*(M;\mathbf{R})$ consisting of higher Reidemeister torsion cohomology classes of fibre bundles $W$ over $M$ in the class $\mathcal{F}$ such that $\Lambda$ admits a generating function on a stabilization of $W$. For the class of tube bundles in the sense of Waldhausen we call the invariant tube torsion. In particular, we show that the tube torsion of a nearby Lagrangian $L \subset T^*M$ is well-defined when the stable Gauss map $L \to U/O$ is trivial and consists of a union of cosets of a normalized version of the Pontryagin character. We also identify a distinguished coset, invariant under Hamiltonian isotopy of $L$, which we call nearby Lagrangian torsion. We do not know whether nearby Lagrangians must have trivial tube torsion, as would follow from the nearby Lagrangian conjecture. However, we show that there exist Legendrians $\Lambda \subset J^1M$ with nontrivial tube torsion whose projection $\Lambda \to M$ is homotopic to a diffeomorphism.
