India notifies its first data protection law to strengthen privacy, security
India has officially notified the Digital Personal Data Protection Rules, 2025, establishing a framework for data processing, protection, and governance. These rules, enforcing the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, introduce verifiable consent, breach notification mandates, and data retention limits. They aim to enhance individual control and foster safer digital ecosystems.

Near-Optimal Second-Order Guarantees for Model-Based Adversarial Imitation Learning
We study online adversarial imitation learning (AIL), where an agent learns from offline expert demonstrations and interacts with the environment online without access to rewards. Despite strong empirical results, the benefits of online interaction and the impact of stochasticity remain poorly understood. We address these gaps by introducing a model-based AIL algorithm (MB-AIL) and establish its horizon-free, second-order sample-complexity guarantees under general function approximations for bo…

Provability Models
In this paper, we study a new Kripke-style semantics for classical modal logic, named as provability models. We study provability models for the propositional modal logics K, K4, S4 GL, GLP and the interpretability logic ILM. Provability models combine features of Kripke models with the assignment of logics to individual worlds. Originally introduced in [Mojtahedi, 2022], these models allowed the first author to establish arithmetical completeness for intuitionistic provability logic. Interesti…

TubeDAgger: Reducing the Number of Expert Interventions with Stochastic Reach-Tubes
Interactive Imitation Learning deals with training a novice policy from expert demonstrations in an online fashion. The established DAgger algorithm trains a robust novice policy by alternating between interacting with the environment and retraining of the network. Many variants thereof exist, that differ in the method of discerning whether to allow the novice to act or return control to the expert. We propose the use of stochastic reachtubes - common in verification of dynamical systems - as a…

Scalability and asymptotic adjunction
In this paper, we introduce relative Roe functors and show that for every pair of scalable proper metric spaces, the functor of continuous functions and the relative Roe functor, both associated with this pair, are asymptotically adjoint. While this asymptotic adjunction is weaker than the genuine one, it retains sufficient categorical properties to be intuitive and useful in applications. These results can be used to provide an unsuspended description of the Connes-Higson $E$-theory, establish…

The Entangled Feedback Impacts of Supernovae in Coarse- versus High-Resolution Galaxy Simulations
It is often understood that supernova (SN) feedback in galaxies is responsible for regulating star formation and generating gaseous outflows. However, a detailed look at their effect on the local interstellar medium (ISM) on small mass scales in simulations shows that these processes proceed in clearly distinct channels. We demonstrate this finding in two independent simulations with solar-mass resolution, LYRA and RIGEL, of an isolated dwarf galaxy. Focusing on the immediate environment surrou…

Operator algebras over the p-adic integers - II
We continue the study of operator algebras over the $p$-adic integers, initiated in our previous work [1]. In this sequel, we develop further structural results and provide new families of examples. We introduce the notion of $p$-adic von Neumann algebras, and analyze those with trivial center, that we call ''factors''. In particular we show that ICC groups provide examples of factors. We then establish a characterization of $p$-simplicity for groupoid operator algebras, showing its relation to…
