Automorphisms and derivations of a universal left-symmetric enveloping algebra
Let $A_n$ be an $n$-dimensional algebra with zero multiplication over a field $K$ of characteristic $0$. Then its universal (multiplicative) enveloping algebra $U_n$ in the variety of left-symmetric algebras is a homogeneous quadratic algebra generated by $2n$ elements $l_1,\ldots,l_n,r_1,\ldots,r_n$, which contains both the polynomial algebra $L_n=K[l_1,\ldots,l_n]$ and the free associative algebra $R_n=K\langle r_1,\ldots,r_n\rangle$. We show that the automorphism groups of the polynomial alg…

What is an "Abstract Reasoner"? Revisiting Experiments and Arguments about Large Language Models
Recent work has argued that large language models (LLMs) are not "abstract reasoners", citing their poor zero-shot performance on a variety of challenging tasks as evidence. We revisit these experiments in order to add nuance to the claim. First, we show that while LLMs indeed perform poorly in a zero-shot setting, even tuning a small subset of parameters for input encoding can enable near-perfect performance. However, we also show that this finetuning does not necessarily transfer across datas…

Generative Recommendation with Semantic IDs: A Practitioner's Handbook
Generative recommendation (GR) has gained increasing attention for its promising performance compared to traditional models. A key factor contributing to the success of GR is the semantic ID (SID), which converts continuous semantic representations (e.g., from large language models) into discrete ID sequences. This enables GR models with SIDs to both incorporate semantic information and learn collaborative filtering signals, while retaining the benefits of discrete decoding. However, varied mod…

Is convective turbulence the only exciting mechanism of global p modes in the Sun?
In solar-like oscillators, acoustic waves are excited by turbulent motion in the convective envelope and propagate inward, generating a variety of standing pressure modes. When combining together the power of several solar acoustic modes, an excess not compatible with pure stochastic excitation was found in some studies. This could be the signature of a second mode excitation source. With over 27 years of helioseismic data from the Sun as a star observations by the Solar and Heliospheric Observ…

Inducing ferromagnetism by structural engineering in a strongly spin-orbit coupled oxide
Magnetic materials with strong spin-orbit coupling (SOC) are essential for the advancement of spin-orbitronic devices, as they enable efficient spin-charge conversion, complex magnetic structures, spin-valley physics, topological phases and other exotic phenomena. 5d transition-metal oxides such as SrIrO3 feature large SOC, but usually show paramagnetic behavior due to broad bands and a low density of states at the Fermi level, accompanied by a relatively low Coulomb repulsion. Here, we unveil …

The Transmission Line Model for 2D Materials and van der Waals Heterostructures
Van der Waals heterostructures (VdWHs) composed of 2D materials have attracted significant attention in recent years due to their intriguing optical properties, such as strong light-matter interactions and large intrinsic anisotropy. In particular, VdWHs support a variety of polaritons-hybrid quasiparticles arising from the coupling between electromagnetic waves and material excitations-enabling the confinement of electromagnetic radiation to atomic scales. The ability to predict and simulate t…

Snap, Segment, Deploy: A Visual Data and Detection Pipeline for Wearable Industrial Assistants
Industrial assembly tasks increasingly demand rapid adaptation to complex procedures and varied components, yet are often conducted in environments with limited computing, connectivity, and strict privacy requirements. These constraints make conventional cloud-based or fully autonomous solutions impractical for factory deployment. This paper introduces a mobile-device-based assistant system for industrial training and operational support, enabling real-time, semi-hands-free interaction through …
