As I listen to the Revolutions podcast mini series on 1848, it's hard not to fixate in the ways in which the Liberal obsession with nationalism and national borders planted the seed for the genocides that followed. Liberals are still confused by why genocide is a persistent problem, as though liberalism itself should have fixed it. "We must establish more liberal institutions," they believe, "like the ICC, so that we can hold people accountable."
But genocide is simply a property of nations and borders. Nations have always be arbitrarily drawn and diverse groups of people have always lived together. I grew up with the balkanization of post-soviet Russia and post colonial Wars in Africa. Conservatives (that is, classical Liberals) would talk about how these people were simply uncivilized or somehow genetically predisposed to conflict. But the Bosnian and Rwandan genocides were similar to the Liberal violence implicit in nationalism from the beginning. The Bosnian Genocide was quite specifically a product of the Liberal nationalism of 1848.
There are still people in the world whose culture is defined by migration. These cultures do not recognize the legitimacy of borders because borders make their culture impossible. The very existence of these lines, and their necessary enforcement, is genocidal to pastoralists and other migratory people.
You literally cannot have borders and not be committing genocide. Concepts of national identity just add to the genocidal push, targeting ethnic minorities. Ethnicities defined by not having a nation of their own, such as Roma and non-zionist Jews, are, like pastoralists, permanently threatened by these imaginary lines.
And now, people look at the genocide ICE is carrying out, at the terror and murder, and they blame Trump. But Trump is simply the avatar of forces far beyond his comprehension.
Every liberal needs to look at their beliefs and realize that these murderous policies are implicit in the very concept of a nation.

A Note on Compactness and Clique Size

Abstract: Say that a topological space $X$ has finite, respectively bounded, cliques iff every closed, irreflexive binary relation --- equivalently, every closed, loop-free directed graph --- on $X$ has cliques of finite, respectively bounded finite, size. Every compact space has bounded cliques. Having finite cliques implies limit-point compactness, and is implied by $\omega$-limit point compactness (equivalently, countable compactness). Thus, for $T_1$ spaces, having finite cliques is equivalent to countable compactness. Having bounded cliques is strictly weaker than compactness. Indeed, any space $X$ such that $X^{\omega}$ is countably compact has bounded cliques. However, we have found no example of a countably compact space having finite but unbounded cliques. The existence of such a space is the major open problem raised in this note.

Abstract: The dual Stiefel-Whitney classes wbar_j(M) of a manifold M are elements of H^j(M;Z/2) which give information about embedding and immersing M in Euclidean space. We consider the question of finding, for each n, the largest j such that there is an n-dimensional Spin manifold with wbar_j nonzero. We obtain upper and lower bounds. Since one theorem proves existence of manifolds without giving explicit examples, we consider a parallel question of finding explicit manifolds with wbar_j nonzero for j as large as possible.

Abstract: In this note, we prove that, on weighted graphs, the Lin--Lu--Yau curvature coincides with the $p$-Ollivier curvature up to scaling whenever the idleness parameter $p\geq 1/2$. Moreover, the threshold $1/2$ is sharp. This extends an earlier result of Bourne et al. (Ollivier--Ricci idleness functions of graphs, SIAM J. Discrete Math., 32 (2018), no. 2, 1408-1424), where combinatorial graphs were considered. This observation yields a simple proof for the global existence and uniqueness of solutions of the Lin--Lu--Yau curvature flow in Bai et al. (Ollivier Ricci-flow on weighted graphs, Amer. J. Math. 146 (2024), 1723-1747).

Predicting the occurrence of Braess paradox in the synchronization threshold of coupled oscillator systems

arXiv:2608.03594v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: We study Braess-type paradoxes in coupled oscillator networks where the addition of an edge to the network leads to an increase in the critical coupling required for the existence of a stable phase-locked synchronized solution. By introducing a continuous edge-weight parameter and constructing an augmented system that allows application of the Implicit Function Theorem, we derive an explicit first-order formula for the sensitivity of the critical coupling, $K'_c(0)$, to small changes in the network structure. This formula reveals that an edge is locally Braess if the ordering of the oscillators being coupled is opposite the ordering of their components in the critical eigenvector at the saddle-node bifurcation, providing a simple criterion for Braess paradox to occur. We then employ this local approximation as a predictor for the occurrence of Braess paradox when the edge is fully incorporated in the network. This prediction is tested numerically in several classes of random networks, demonstrating both high predictive fidelity and the nonlinear limitations of the local approximation. We also examine several explicit examples, highlighting possible motifs by which Braess-type paradoxes occur. Together, these results establish a predictive framework for understanding how incremental changes in network topology can produce counterintuitive synchronization outcomes.

We show that there are rings which satisfy the relations above but do not satisfy the condition that -1 is an square, for example the rings $\mathbb{Z}[\frac{1}{2}]$ and $\mathbb{Z}[\frac{1}{10}]$. In addition, we study the special case of non-archimedean local fields, obtaining a refined Bloch-Wigner exact sequence when -1 is not an square.

Abstract: We introduce a novel coupling of Rulkov neural maps, proposing a heuristic biological interpretation for the transition to non-small values of the perturbations acting on the slow variables. We analytically prove that the coupling preserves boundedness of motion and the existence of a snap-back repeller (leading to Devaney chaos by the Marotto theorem), if they are associated to the original system. For the coupling of two standard chaotic Rulkov maps, we present numerical simulations for the orbits of the system showing the arising of a global strange attractor, whose fractal structure is strongly suggested by the computation of a non-integer Kaplan-Yorke dimension. Furthermore, we perform standard numerical studies concerning time series, Lyapunov exponents spectra, bifurcation diagrams and basins of attraction. Finally, we briefly propose a generalization of the coupling to an arbitrary number of neurons.

Dynamics of Fractional Wave Equations with Nonlocal Damping

arXiv:2608.02842v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: In this work we study a fractional wave equation with Balakrishnan--Taylor type damping posed on a bounded domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n$. The model couples the fractional Laplacian with a nonlinear damping coefficient depending on the fractional energy, leading to a doubly nonlocal evolution equation that extends the classical wave equation with energy-dependent dissipation. By means of the theory of linear operators, we establish the global well-posedness of both mild and regular solutions. We then investigate the long-time dynamics of the associated semigroup and prove that it is gradient and asymptotically smooth. As a consequence, we establish the existence of a compact global attractor and show that it coincides with the unstable manifold of the set of stationary solutions. To the best of our knowledge, this provides the first characterization of the asymptotic dynamics for fractional wave equations with Balakrishnan--Taylor type damping.

Abstract: We study the existence of continuous maps with nonzero Brouwer degree between partial flag manifolds. We prove that every continuous map between two distinct complex (or, quaternionic) partial flag manifolds, whose codomain is not a Grassmannian, has Brouwer degree zero. This establishes, for such partial flag manifolds, the analogue of the results of Ramani-Sankaran and Sankaran-Sarkar for complex and quaternionic Grassmannians, as well as an algebraic-geometric result of Paranjape and Srinivas for complex Grassmannians. As a consequence, we prove that complex and quaternionic partial flag manifolds are cohomologically rigid; that is, their rational cohomology rings determine their homeomorphism types. We conjecture that complex and quaternionic partial flag manifolds are homologically rigid.

AuthProbe: Specification-Driven, Multi-Identity Detection of Broken Object-Level Authorization in Recruitment API

Abstract: Broken Object-Level Authorization (BOLA), also known as Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR), has topped the OWASP API Security ranking since 2019 and is the root cause of some of the largest exposures of applicant data in recruitment technology. The defining feature of this flaw class is that a malicious request is byte-for-byte indistinguishable from a legitimate one, which is precisely why web application firewalls and single identity scanners fail to catch it. We present AuthProbe, an open-source, black-box scanner that detects BOLA and IDOR in HTTP APIs by driving its tests from an OpenAPI specification and by acting under two or more identities that the operator controls. AuthProbe discovers, for each identity, the objects that identity legitimately owns, then attempts to read one identity's objects while authenticated as another and confirms a leak by comparing the response against a ground-truth fetch by the true owner. It also walks predictable identifiers to expose enumeration and reports missing authentication and existence oracles. The tool returns a severity-thresholded exit code and machine-readable reports so that it can gate a continuous integration build. On a synthetic recruitment API in which the McHire failure class is reproduced, AuthProbe detects every planted cross-identity read with no false positives on a hardened counterpart, and its running time grows linearly with the number of objects under test. AuthProbe is released under the Apache 2.0 license with an authorized-use guardrail.

Abstract: For a commutative Bezout ring R, we give a criterion, in terms of colon ideals with principal radical, for the lattice $\mathring{\mathcal{K}}(\mathrm{Spec}(R))$ of compact open subsets of $\mathrm{Spec}(R)$ to be a Heyting algebra. Bezhanishvili and Tressl showed that $\mathring{\mathcal{K}}(\mathrm{Spec}(C(T)))$ is pseudocomplemented whenever T is a basically disconnected compact Hausdorff space, and asked whether $\mathrm{Spec}(C(\beta\mathbb{N}))$ is actually an Esakia space. We show it is not: applying our criterion to $C(\beta\mathbb{N}) \cong \ell^\infty(\mathbb{N},\mathbb{R})$ produces a diagonal counterexample, and the same obstruction rules out $\beta D$ for every infinite discrete D. A grid-existence theorem for $\sigma$-complete Boolean algebras lets us push the construction to every basically disconnected compact Hausdorff space, settling the Bezhanishvili-Tressl question completely: for no infinite compact Hausdorff space T is $\mathrm{Spec}(C(T))$ an Esakia space.

Ergodic Optimization with Linear Constraints

Abstract: Let $T : X \to X$ be a continuous map of a compact metrizable space, and let $\phi : X \to \mathbb{R}$ be a continuous function. The ergodic optimization problem is to maximize the integral $\int \phi \, d\mu$ as $\mu$ ranges over all $T$-invariant Borel probability measures on $X$. In this paper we consider a constrained version of the ergodic optimization problem. Given a `constraint set' $\mathcal{C}\subset C(X)$, let $M_\mathcal{C}(X,T)$ be the set of $T$-invariant Borel probability measures $\mu$ on $X$ such that $\int g \, d\mu = 0$ for all $g \in \mathcal{C}$. We investigate the problem of maximizing the integral $\int \phi \, d\mu$ over the constrained set $M_\mathcal{C}(X,T)$. We address basic properties of this optimization problem, beginning with nonemptiness of $M_\mathcal{C}(X,T)$ and existence of optimal solutions. Additionally, we establish the generic and prevalent uniqueness of optimal measures, we provide a realization result, and we give a characterization of the dual problem. This framework provides a common generalization of several previously considered optimization problems in dynamical systems and optimal transport.

There is a conversation to be had here about "comprehensibility." Big tech understands money. Huge capitalist organizations have spent years adapting to markets that dominate everything. They have learned how to ruthlessly destroy competition. They have learned how to take the massive amounts of money they can siphon from society and use it to manipulate political systems. They bent the world to their will, until there was nothing to stop them from destroying it.
But here we are, our lives now threatened by their continued existence. At a certain point, it doesn't matter how much money they can pay you if your house will burn down, your water will dry up, your food won't grow, and your children will cook. At a certain point, free isn't cheap enough to make their continued extraction of our data worth it.
At a certain point we need to do things that are *incomprehensible* to those still operating within capitalism and the captured political systems.

Abstract: We introduce a moment-duality method for Korenblum's maximum principle in the Bergman space $A^2(\mathbb{D})$. Starting from an annular coefficient estimate of Wang, we show that admissibility of a constant~$c$ follows from the existence of a probability measure on $[c^2,1]$ whose ordinary and weighted moments lie on opposite sides of the Bergman moments $1/(k 1)$. This converts the norm comparison into a positive moment problem. We then give an explicit measure, consisting of eight atoms with rational data and Lebesgue measure on a terminal interval, for which the required inequalities admit a rigorous ball-arithmetic certificate. Consequently, \[
c_2\geq 0.4263, \] improving Wang's recent lower bound $c_2\geq0.3554$.

We apologise if any of our polls or messages over the past few days have created confusion. For the sake of clarity:
⁠1. CatSalad is open, diverse and accepting and we have the track record to prove it....*
⁠2. CatSalad does not harbor "puppygirls" and we have the track record to prove it....**
⁠3. We are not trying to gaslight you regarding the existence of the year "2022" and we have the track record to prove it....***
⸻
⁠* (just ignore chaos gremlin posts and posts with in them)
⁠** (they are actually catgirls instead)
⁠*** (because such a year doesn't exist in the first place.)

Abstract: In this paper we present a concrete example of a substochastic discrete-time Markov chain on a countable state space producing a spectrum of infinitely many quasi-stationary distributions (QSDs) for generic parameter values, with each QSD supporting a distinct escape rate. Our system is motivated by an open variant of the Pelikan dynamical system, a random map introduced in the 1980s. These QSDs, and their stability to perturbative random noise, are tested in numerical simulations. The existence of unique QEDs is also established for some parameter values.

Optimal Market Making in Prediction Markets

Abstract: Prediction markets are attracting growing attention as trading volumes rise and their practical relevance increases. To ensure efficient price discovery, liquidity provision becomes ever more important. Due to the binary settlement structure in prediction markets, optimal market making leads to an optimization problem that is fundamentally different from the ones studied in classical settings. In this paper, we develop a stochastic control framework for prediction markets in which the market price is modeled as a conditional probability of the outcome that is generated by a transformed latent belief diffusion. A market maker selects bid and ask quotes to maximize expected terminal wealth while controlling both mark-to-market inventory risk and the settlement risk of remaining positions at resolution. We derive the associated Hamilton--Jacobi--Bellman equation and characterize the unique optimal bid and ask quotes. By transforming the equation to the latent belief space and using a fixed-point argument, we prove existence and uniqueness of a classical solution and verify the resulting optimal quoting strategy. In addition, we provide a numerical analysis, which reveals how optimal liquidity provision in prediction markets depends on inventory, market beliefs, time to resolution, and risk aversion. Further, we demonstrate that the optimal quoting strategy substantially improves downside protection while preserving most of its expected profit relative to a myopic benchmark that maximizes the instantaneous expected mark-to-market profit.
