Strings near black holes are Carrollian
We demonstrate that strings near the horizon of a Schwarzschild black hole, when viewed by a stationary observer at infinity, probe a string Carroll geometry, where the effective lightspeed is given by the distance from the horizon. We expand the Polyakov action in powers of this lightspeed to find a theory of Carrollian strings. We show that the string shrinks to a point to leading order near the horizon, which follows a null geodesic in a two-dimensional Rindler space. At the next-to-leading …

A major focus of our calculation is on the regime where the boson's transverse momentum $Q_T$ is much smaller than its mass $Q$. We carefully expand our results up to next-to-next-to-leading po…

We have previously shown that the nonlinear growth of a finite-amplitude perturbation to a basic state given by a baroclinic zonal flow on the \b{eta}-plane in a thermal quasigeostrophic reduced-gravity model can be a-priori bounded. In this note we show that, unlike we stated earlier, Lyapunov stability can be proved even when buoyancy varies linearly with the meridional coordinate. In addition to rectifying our prior results we expand them by deriving an instability saturation bound by making…

Addendum to `On the nonreality of the PBR theorem': disproof by generic counterexample
The PBR theorem is widely seen as one of the most important no-go theorems in the foundations of quantum mechanics. Recently, in Found. Phys. 53(3): 64 (2023), it has been argued that there is no reality to the PBR theorem using a pair of bolts as a counterexample. In this addendum we expand on the argument: we disprove the PBR theorem by a generic counterexample, and we put the finger on the precise spot where Pusey, Barrett, and Rudolph have made a tacit assumption that is false.

Learning items are tagged with skill labels called knowledge concepts (KCs).

This approach addresses the issue of sparse item-student interactions and minimises model pa…

Ambiguous power spectrum from a quantum bounce
A quantum cosmological bouncing model may exhibit an ambiguity stemming from the nonclassical nature of the background evolution: two classically equivalent theories can produce two qualitatively different potentials sourcing the perturbations. We derive explicitly the quantum canonical transformation involving the quantum background to show how it leads to inequivalent theories. We identify the relevant quantum parameter describing the difference and expand upon the ambiguity by calculating th…

I'm teaching elementary sampling theory again, using simulations to demonstrate the ideas.
I find I have to revise claims I used to make, e.g.:
"for small samples, the sampling distribution is wider than that implied by the normal distribution & hence we use the t-distribution"
Not true: on 100000 runs the simulated standard deviation of the mean of a uniform 0-1 variable for N=4, is 0.14438 against a theoretical 0.14434.
We use the t-dist because t…

"by 2050, 10% to 47% of Amazonian forests will be exposed to compounding disturbances that may trigger unexpected ecosystem transitions ... inherent complexity of the Amazon adds uncertainty about future dynamics, but also reveals opportunities for action... a combination of local efforts to end deforestation and degradation and to expand restoration, with global efforts to stop greenhouse gas emissions."

A Survey on LLM-Generated Text Detection: Necessity, Methods, and Future Directions
The powerful ability to understand, follow, and generate complex language emerging from large language models (LLMs) makes LLM-generated text flood many areas of our daily lives at an incredible speed and is widely accepted by humans. As LLMs continue to expand, there is an imperative need to develop detectors that can detect LLM-generated text. This is crucial to mitigate potential misuse of LLMs and safeguard realms like artistic expression and social networks from harmful influence of LLM-ge…

Quantum Symmetries of Vertex-Transitive Graphs on 12 Vertices

Quantum Symmetries of Vertex-Transitive Graphs on 12 Vertices
Recently, the work on quantum automorphism groups of graphs has seen renewed progress, which we expand in this paper. Quantum symmetry is a richer notion of symmetry than the classical symmetries of a graph. In general, it is non-trivial to decide whether a given graph does have quantum symmetries or not. For vertex-transitive graphs, the quantum symmetries have already been determined in earlier work on up to 11 and on 13 vertices. This paper fills the gap by determining for all vertex-transit…
