The ASTRI Mini-Array consists of nine Cherenkov telescopes under construction at the Observatorio del Teide, with one of them already performing observations since November 2024. Given the complexity of the analysis of gamma-ray data acquired with Cherenkov telescopes, a proper evaluation of the quality of these data is important to avoid a negative impact on the high-level scientific products. There are several factors that can contribute to reducing the quality of the observations, such as cl…

Sum rules via large deviations: polynomial potentials and multi-cut regime on the unit circle
Sum rules are elegant formulas that relate entropy functionals to coefficients associated with orthogonal polynomials [Sim11]. In a series of paper (see for example [GNR16], [GNR17], [BSZ18a], [BSZ18b]), interesting connections have been established between the large theory of spectral measures built on random matrices and sum rules. In this work, we extend this approach by studying sum rules within random matrix models with polynomial potentials on the unit circle, with a particular focus on c…

Polynomials and asymptotic constants in a resurgent problem from 't Hooft
In a recent study of the quantum theory of harmonic oscillators, Gerard 't Hooft proposed the following problem: given $G(z)=\sum_{n>0}\sqrt{n}z^n$ for $|z|<1$, find its analytic continuation for $|z|\ge1$, excluding a branch-cut $z\in[1,\,\infty)$. A solution is provided by the bilateral convergent sum $G(z)=\frac12\sqrtπ\sum_{n\in{\mathbb Z}}(2nπ{\rm i}-\log(z))^{-3/2}$. On the negative real axis, $G(-e^u)$ has a sign-constant asymptotic expansion in $1/u^2$, for large p…

T-Retrievability: A Topic-Focused Approach to Measure Fair Document Exposure in Information Retrieval
Retrievability of a document is a collection-based statistic that measures its expected (reciprocal) rank of being retrieved within a specific rank cut-off. A collection with uniformly distributed retrievability scores across documents is an indicator of fair document exposure. While retrievability scores have been used to quantify the fairness of exposure for a collection, in our work, we use the distribution of retrievability scores to measure the exposure bias of retrieval models.
