Analytic derivation of GW spectrum from bubble collisions in FLRW Universe
We generalize the analytic formula for the gravitational-wave spectrum from bubble collisions during a cosmological first-order phase transition, under the thin-wall and envelope approximations, by incorporating the effect of cosmic expansion in the FLRW metric. Along with presenting the complete analytic expression and corresponding numerical results, we also derive simplified formulas valid in the large- and small-$k$ limits, as well as in the flat-spacetime limit. The latter expansion reveal…

Despite its pervasive implications, many cities around the world continue to expand in a fragmented and horizontal manner. Here, we analyse the complex dynamics of urban growth across 69 metropolitan areas in Mexico, using census data from 1990 to 2020, and develop a model of urban form change that considers changes in population size, density, and spatial configuration. We employ a radial probability density function and the urban expansion factor to create a framework for comparing urban expa…

A moderate share of V2G outperforms large-scale smart charging of electric vehicles and benefits other consumers
While battery electric vehicles (BEVs) play a key role for decarbonizing the transport sector, their impact on the power sector heavily depends on their charging strategies. Here we systematically analyze various combinations between inflexible, smart and bidirectional (or vehicle-to-grid, V2G) charging of 15 million electric cars in Germany. Using a capacity expansion model, we find that even a moderate share of bidirectional charging below 30% leads to lower system costs than a fully smartly …

Iterated sumset expansion in $\mathbb{F}_p^n$
Given a set $A \subseteq \mathbb{F}_p^n$, what conditions does one need to guarantee that iterated sumsets of the form $A+\cdots+A$ expand quickly (say, within $O(p)$ terms) to the whole space? When only the size of $A$ is known, such expansion results are only possible when $|A|>\frac{1}{p}|\mathbb{F}_p^n|$. However, heuristic considerations suggest that expansion should begin with much smaller sets under just mild ``nondegeneracy'' conditions. In this paper, we confirm thi…

What Are We Clustering For? Establishing Performance Guarantees for Time Series Aggregation in Generation Expansion Planning
Generation expansion planning (GEP) is a prominent example of capacity expansion problems in operations research. Being generally NP-hard, GEP optimization models can become intractable when nonconvex dynamics, time-coupling constraints, and complex asset interactions are involved. Time series aggregation (TSA) tackles this by reducing temporal complexity via input data clustering. However, existing TSA methods either focus solely on preserving the statistical features of the input data, yieldi…

Non-unitary Time Evolution via the Chebyshev Expansion Method
The Chebyshev expansion method is a well-established technique for computing the time evolution of quantum states, particularly in Hermitian systems with a bounded spectrum. Here, we show that the applicability of the Chebyshev expansion method extends well beyond this constraint: It remains valid across the entire complex plane and is thus suitable for arbitrary non-Hermitian matrices. We identify that numerical rounding errors are the primary source of errors encountered when applying the met…

Any reasonable measure of distinguishability of quantum states must satisfy a data processing inequality, that is, it must not increase under the action of a quantum channel. We can ask about the proportion of information lost or preserved and this leads us to study contraction and expansion coefficients respectively, which can be combined into a single \emph{relative expansion coefficient} for study. We focus on two prominent families: (i) standard quantum $f$ divergences and (ii) their local …

We argue that at least some of these concerns are unfounded when nonparametric models are strongly shrunk towards parametric submodels. We consider expanding a parametric model with a nonparametric component that is heavily shrunk toward zero. This construction allows the model to adapt automatically: if the parametric model …

Asymptotics of the solution of the Cauchy problem for a singularly perturbed system of hyperbolic equations. Part 2. Initial conditions
An asymptotic small parameter expansion of a single Cauchy problem is constructed for a singularly perturbed system of hyperbolic equations describing vibrations of two rigidly connected strings. Equations (such as generalized Korteweg-de Vriesequations) and initial conditions for the terms of the asymptotic expansion of the solution are determined, and under certain assumptions, the residual term is estimated from the residual.

A proof of Witten's asymptotic expansion conjecture for WRT invariants of Seifert fibered homology spheres
Let $X$ be a general Seifert fibered integral homology $3$-sphere with $r\ge3$ exceptional fibers. For every root of unity $ζ\not=1$, we show that the SU(2) WRT invariant of $X$ evaluated at $ζ$ is (up to an elementary factor) the non-tangential limit at $ζ$ of the GPPV invariant of $X$, thereby generalizing a result from [Andersen-Mistegard 2022]. Based on this result, we apply the quantum modularity results developed in [Han-Li-Sauzin-Sun 2023] to the GPPV invariant of $X$ to prove Witten'…

Diffusion Codes: Self-Correction from Small(er)-Set Expansion with Tunable Non-locality
Optimal constructions of classical LDPC codes can be obtained by choosing the Tanner graph uniformly at random among biregular graphs. We introduce a class of codes that we call ``diffusion codes'', defined by placing each edge connecting bits and checks on some graph, and acting on that graph with a random SWAP network. By tuning the depth of the SWAP network, we can tune a tradeoff between the amount of randomness -- and hence the optimality of code parameters -- and locality with respect to …

Safely simplifying redshift drift computations in inhomogeneous cosmologies: Insights from LTB Swiss-cheese models
One of the most important discoveries in cosmology is the accelerated expansion of the Universe. Yet, the accelerated expansion has only ever been measured {\em in}directly. Redshift drift offers a direct observational probe of the Universe's expansion history, with its sign revealing whether there has been acceleration or deceleration between source and observer. Its detection will mark a major milestone in cosmology, offering the first direct measurement of an evolving expansion rate. Given i…

A recursive definition for the polymatroid Tutte polynomial
The Tutte polynomial is a significant invariant of graphs and matroids. It is well-known that it has three equivalent definitions: bases expansion, rank generating function, and deletion-contraction formula. The polymatroid Tutte polynomial $\mathscr{T}_{P}$ generalizes the Tutte polynomial from matroids to polymatroids $P$. In \emph{[Adv. Math. 402 (2022) 108355.]} and \emph{[J. Combin. Theory Ser.

The anisotropic expansion rate of the local Universe and its covariant cosmographic interpretation
Without making any assumption on the underlying geometry and metric of the local Universe, we provide a measurement of the expansion rate fluctuation field using the Cosmicflows-4 and Pantheon+ samples in the redshift range $0.01 < z < 0.1$ ($30 \,h^{-1}\,\mathrm{Mpc} < R < 300\,h^{-1}\,\mathrm{Mpc}$). The amplitude of the anisotropic fluctuations is found to be of order a few percent relative to the monopole of the expansion rate. We further decompose the expansion rate fluctuation field int…
