When LLMs Copy to Think: Uncovering Copy-Guided Attacks in Reasoning LLMs
Large Language Models (LLMs) have become integral to automated code analysis, enabling tasks such as vulnerability detection and code comprehension. However, their integration introduces novel attack surfaces. In this paper, we identify and investigate a new class of prompt-based attacks, termed Copy-Guided Attacks (CGA), which exploit the inherent copying tendencies of reasoning-capable LLMs. By injecting carefully crafted triggers into external code snippets, adversaries can induce the model …

All Ramsey critical graphs for a large tree versus $tK_{m}$

The Ramsey number for $H_{1}$ versus $H_{2}$, $r(H_{1}, H_{2})$, is the minimum integer $N$ such that $K_{N}\rightarrow (H_{1}, H_{2})$. The Ramsey critical graph $H$ for $H_{1}$ versus $H_{2}$ is a red-blue edge-colored $K_{N- 1}$ such that $H\not\rightarrow (H_{1}, H_{2})$, where $N= r(H_{1}, H_{2})$. In this paper, we …

Program Logics via Distributive Monoidal Categories
We derive multiple program logics, including correctness, incorrectness, and relational Hoare logic, from the axioms of imperative categories: uniformly traced distributive copy-discard categories. We introduce an internal language for imperative multicategories, on top of which we derive combinators for an adaptation of Dijkstra's guarded command language. Rules of program logics are derived from this internal language.

Shadow tomography protocols have recently emerged as powerful tools for efficient quantum state learning, aiming to reconstruct expectation values of observables with fewer resources than traditional quantum state tomography. For the particular case of estimating Pauli observables, entangling two-copy measurement schemes can offer an exponential improvement in sample complexity over any single-copy strategy conceivable [1, Huang, Kueng, Preskill, PRL(2021)].

VulCoCo: A Simple Yet Effective Method for Detecting Vulnerable Code Clones
Code reuse is common in modern software development, but it can also spread vulnerabilities when developers unknowingly copy risky code. The code fragments that preserve the logic of known vulnerabilities are known as vulnerable code clones (VCCs). Detecting those VCCs is a critical but challenging task. Existing VCC detection tools often rely on syntactic similarity or produce coarse vulnerability predictions without clear explanations, limiting their practical utility. In this paper, we propo…

The Double Copy of Maximal Supersymmetry in $D=10$
We continue the program of using homotopy algebras to obtain off-shell, local and gauge redundant derivations of the double copy relations between gauge theory and gravity. We apply it to $N=1$ super-Yang-Mills theory in $D=10$ in order to obtain type IIA or type IIB supergravity, at least to cubic order in fields. Furthermore, we show how the super-Lie algebra of global supersymmetries, acting on the homotopy algebra of $N=1$ super-Yang-Mills theory, double copies to the maximal supersymmetry …

We present a new Lagrangian for GR coupled to Yang-Mills, which uses the same kind of variables for both sectors, and has a manifest double-copy structure. This Lagrangian comes in both non-chiral (real) and chiral (complex) versions. The chiral version makes it easy to isolate the self-dual…

Checkmate: Zero-Overhead Model Checkpointing via Network Gradient Replication
This paper presents Checkmate, a system that enables per-iteration checkpointing in DNN training without any training slowdown. The traditional approach to checkpointing requires a pause in training to copy model states to a separate location, allowing the state to be restored in the event of failure. This approach fundamentally has a tradeoff between the frequency of checkpoints and the cost of a failure. We avoid this tradeoff; our key insight is that in data-parallel training, all informatio…

Exploring near critical lattice gauge simulators with Rydberg atoms facilities
We motivate the use of a ladder of Rydberg atoms as an analog simulator for a lattice gauge theory version of scalar electrodynamics also called the compact Abelian Higgs model. We demonstrate that by using a few thousand shots from a single copy of the ladder simulator it is possible to estimate the bipartite quantum von Neumann entanglement entropy $S^{vN}_A$. The estimation relies on an optimized filtration of the mutual information associated with the bitstrings obtained from public facilit…

Rainbow Trees in Hypercubes
We prove that every proper edge-coloring of the $n$-dimensional hypercube $Q_n$ contains a rainbow copy of every tree $T$ on at most $n$ edges. This result is best possible, as $Q_n$ can be properly edge-colored using only $n$ colors while avoiding rainbow cycles.

Off-shell double copy theories in BV
We present a construction of the double copy for gauge theories that exhibit off-shell color-kinematics duality within the Batalin-Vilkovitsky (BV) formalism. As illustrative examples, we consider the double copies of Chern-Simons theory, four-dimensional BF theory, and two-dimensional Yang-Mills theory, and we discuss possible gravity interpretations for these cases. We formalize the construction and demonstrate that Kodaira-Spencer gravity, Kähler gravity, and their generalizations, fit natu…

How to Copy-Protect Malleable-Puncturable Cryptographic Functionalities Under Arbitrary Challenge Distributions
A quantum copy-protection scheme (Aaronson, CCC 2009) encodes a functionality into a quantum state such that given this state, no efficient adversary can create two (possibly entangled) quantum states that are both capable of running the functionality. There has been a recent line of works on constructing provably-secure copy-protection schemes for general classes of schemes in the plain model, and most recently the recent work of Çakan and Goyal (IACR Eprint, 2025) showed how to copy-protect …

On the "second" Kahn--Kalai Conjecture
We make progress on a conjecture of Kahn and Kalai, the original (stronger but less general) version of what became known as the ``Kahn-Kalai Conjecture" (KKC; now a theorem of Park and Pham). This ``second" KKC concerns the threshold, $p_c(H)$, for $G_{n,p}$ to contain a copy of a given graph $H$, predicting $p_c(H) = O(p_{\mathbb E}(H)\log n)$, where $p_{\mathbb E}$ is an easy lower bound on $p_c$. What we actually show is $p_{\mathbb E}^*(H)=O(p_{\mathbb E}(H)\log ^2n)$, where $p_{\mathbb E}…

Proof of a conjecture on isolation of graphs with a universal vertex

Proof of a conjecture on isolation of graphs with a universal vertex
A copy of a graph $F$ is called an $F$-copy. For any graph $G$, the $F$-isolation number of $G$, denoted by $ι(G,F)$, is the size of a smallest subset $D$ of the vertex set of $G$ such that the closed neighbourhood $N[D]$ of $D$ in $G$ intersects the vertex sets of the $F$-copies contained by $G$ (equivalently, $G-N[D]$ contains no $F$-copy). Thus, $ι(G,K_1)$ is the domination number $γ(G)$ of $G$, and $ι(G,K_2)$ is the vertex-edge domination number of $G$. Settling a conjecture of Zhang an…
