Beating Harmful Stereotypes Through Facts: RAG-based Counter-speech Generation
Counter-speech generation is at the core of many expert activities, such as fact-checking and hate speech, to counter harmful content. Yet, existing work treats counter-speech generation as pure text generation task, mainly based on Large Language Models or NGO experts. These approaches show severe drawbacks due to the limited reliability and coherence in the generated countering text, and in scalability, respectively. To close this gap, we introduce a novel framework to model counter-speech ge…

Fiber-optic power limiter device based on carbon nanotubes
We experimentally demonstrate a power limiter based on single-walled carbon nanotubes dispersed in a polymer matrix. This simple fiber-optic device permanently increases its attenuation when subjected to 50-mW or higher cw illumination at 1550 nm and initiates a fiber-fuse effect at 1 to 5 W. It may be used for protecting quantum key distribution equipment from light-injection attacks. We demonstrate its compatibility with phase- and polarisation-encoding quantum key distribution systems.

On thermal holographic RG flows
Holographic Renormalization Group (RG) flows, described by Einstein gravity coupled to matter fields, have been thoroughly explored in the context of vacuum states. In this work, we shift the focus to thermal states. Using the Hamilton-Jacobi formalism for the coupled system, we derive the Ward identity associated with broken dilatation symmetry in thermal correlators and obtain the modified Callan-Symanzik equation for the dual thermal CFT. We then employ the Hamiltonian approach to analyze th…

Uncertainty assessment in satellite-based greenhouse gas emissions estimates using emulated atmospheric transport
Monitoring greenhouse gas emissions and evaluating national inventories require efficient, scalable, and reliable inference methods. Top-down approaches, combined with recent advances in satellite observations, provide new opportunities to evaluate emissions at continental and global scales. However, transport models used in these methods remain a key source of uncertainty: they are computationally expensive to run at scale, and their uncertainty is difficult to characterise.

Einstein-Maxwell Equations on Mass-Centered GCM Hypersurfaces
The resolution of the nonlinear stability of black holes as solutions to the Einstein equations relies crucially on imposing the right geometric gauge conditions. In the vacuum case, the use of Generally Covariant Modulated (GCM) spheres and hypersurfaces has been successful in the proof of stability for slowly rotating Kerr spacetime. For the charged setting, our companion paper introduced an alternative mass-centered GCM framework, adapted to the additional difficulties of the Einstein-Maxwel…

On the Hardness of the One-Sided Code Sparsifier Problem
The notion of code sparsification was introduced by Khanna, Putterman and Sudan (arxiv.2311.00788), as an analogue to the the more established notion of cut sparsification in graphs and hypergraphs. In particular, for $α\in (0,1)$ an (unweighted) one-sided $α$-sparsifier for a linear code $\mathcal{C} \subseteq \mathbb{F}_2^n$ is a subset $S\subseteq [n]$ such that the weight of each codeword projected onto the coordinates in $S$ is preserved up to an $α$ fraction.

While not well-documented in the literature, this restriction has so …

Effect of Stokes number on erosion on Pelton buckets for sediment-laden flows
With increased glacial melting and the need to maintain sediment continuity for ecosystem health, sediment-laden flows through hydropower plants are becoming increasingly problematic, particularly due to erosion on runner blades and buckets. A widely used mitigation strategy is the use of filters to protect Pelton turbines. However, these filters lead to rapid sediment accumulation in reservoirs, which must be drained frequently to maintain storage capacity. The high cost of such drainage opera…

Splittings of Ideals of Points in $\mathbb{P}^{1}\times\mathbb{P}^{1}$
Let $I_\mathbb{X}$ be the bihomogeneous ideal of a finite set of points $\mathbb{X} \subseteq \mathbb{P}^1 \times \mathbb{P}^1$. The purpose of this note is to consider ``splittings'' of the ideal $I_\mathbb{X}$, that is, finding ideals $J$ and $K$ such that $I_\mathbb{X} = J+K$, where $J$ and $K$ have prescribed algebraic or geometric properties. We show that for any set of points $\mathbb{X}$, we cannot partition the generators of $I_\mathbb{X}$ into two ideals of points. The best case scenar…

We estimate the dynamic distributional effects of financial shocks in the Euro Area using survey-based microdata on personal incomes. We find that positive financial shocks increase inequality, with heterogeneity across different income groups. Much of the response emerges in the tails of the income distribution. By decomposing individual incomes into financial and labor components, we identify two distinct transmission mechanisms: financial income inequality rises, likely due to differences in…
