Entanglement negativity in free fermions: twisted characteristic polynomial, universal bounds, and area laws
We present a general and simple formula for computing the entanglement negativity in free fermions. Our formula allows for deriving several universal bounds on negativity and its rate of change in dynamics. The bound on negativity directly relates the clustering property of correlations in free-fermion states to the entanglement area law, and provides the optimal condition for the area law in mixed free fermion states with long-range correlations. In addition, we establish an area-law bound on …

A canonical Makanin-Razborov diagram and a pseudo topology for sets of tuples in free groups, semigroups, associative algebras and Lie algebras I
The JSJ decomposition and the Makanin-Razborov diagram were proved to be essential in studying varieties over free groups, semigroups and associative algebras. In this paper we suggest a unified conceptual approach to the applicability of these structures over all these algebraic categories. With a variety over each of these algebraic categories we naturally associate a set of tuples in a free group. Then we show how to associate a Makanin-Razborov diagram with any set of tuples over a free gro…

Achieving Optimal Performance-Cost Trade-Off in Hierarchical Cell-Free Massive MIMO
Cell-free (CF) massive MIMO offers uniform service via distributed access points (APs), which impose high deployment costs. A novel design called hierarchical cell-free (HCF) addresses this problem by replacing some APs with a central base station, thereby lowering the costs of fronthaul network (wireless sites and fiber cables) while preserving performance. To identify the optimal uplink configuration in HCF massive MIMO, this paper provides the first comprehensive analysis, benchmarking it ag…

In particular, we show that the free polar dual of a real free spectrahedron is rarely the projection of a real free spectrahedron, contrasting a prior re…

We develop an accurate square-root-free algorithm for constructing real Givens rotations. On processors that support the fused multiply-add operation in hardware, the algorithm is competitive with square-root based algorithms using a hardware square-root. Unlike the square-root-free algorithms in \cite{Hsieh1993,GENTLEMAN1973,Barlow1987,Hammarling1974ANO,Ling1989EfficientLL,Hanson,Hanson2}, our approach will construct the Givens rotation directly and is therefore applicable to a much wider vari…

Moreover, we show that the spectral form factor for the excited state after the local quench reveals a dip-ramp-plateau struct…

Higher regularity in nonlocal free boundary problems
We study the higher regularity in nonlocal free boundary problems posed for general integro-differential operators of order $2s$. Our main result is for the nonlocal one-phase (Bernoulli) problem, for which we establish that $C^{2,α}$ free boundaries are $C^\infty$. This is new even for the fractional Laplacian, as it was only known in case $s=\frac12$. We also establish a general result for overdetermined problems, showing that if the boundary condition is smooth, then so is $\partialΩ$. Our…

Generalisation of the Total Linearisation Method to Three-dimensional Free-Surface Flows
An iterative Finite Element method predicated on a linearisation of the weak form around a reference configuration is derived for general, three-dimensional, free-surface flows, including systems with moving contact lines. The method is a rigorous generalisation of the Total Linearisation Method that was proposed by Kruyt et al. (1988) for two-dimensional flows with contact angles limited to $90^\circ$. In contrast to existing numerical methods for free-surface-flow problems, the present linear…

Subtooting since people in the original thread wanted it to be over, but selfishly tagging @… and @… whose opinions I value...
I think that saying "we are not a supply chain" is exactly what open-source maintainers should be doing right now in response to "open source supply chain security" threads.
I can't claim to be an expert and don't maintain any important FOSS stuff, but I do release almost all of my code under open licenses, and I do use many open source libraries, and I have felt the pain of needing to replace an unmaintained library.
There's a certain small-to-mid-scale class of program, including many open-source libraries, which can be built/maintained by a single person, and which to my mind best operate on a "snake growth" model: incremental changes/fixes, punctuated by periodic "skin-shedding" phases where make rewrites or version updates happen. These projects aren't immortal either: as the whole tech landscape around them changes, they become unnecessary and/or people lose interest, so they go unmaintained and eventually break. Each time one of their dependencies breaks (or has a skin-shedding moment) there's a higher probability that they break or shed too, as maintenance needs shoot up at these junctures. Unless you're a company trying to make money from a single long-lived app, it's actually okay that software churns like this, and if you're a company trying to make money, your priorities absolutely should not factor into any decisions people making FOSS software make: we're trying (and to a huge extent succeeding) to make a better world (and/or just have fun with our own hobbies share that fun with others) that leaves behind the corrosive & planet-destroying plague which is capitalism, and you're trying to personally enrich yourself by embracing that plague. The fact that capitalism is *evil* is not an incidental thing in this discussion.
To make an imperfect analogy, imagine that the peasants of some domain have set up a really-free-market, where they provide each other with free stuff to help each other survive, sometimes doing some barter perhaps but mostly just everyone bringing their surplus. Now imagine the lord of the domain, who is the source of these peasants' immiseration, goes to this market secretly & takes some berries, which he uses as one ingredient in delicious tarts that he then sells for profit. But then the berry-bringer stops showing up to the free market, or starts bringing a different kind of fruit, or even ends up bringing rotten berries by accident. And the lord complains "I have a supply chain problem!" Like, fuck off dude! Your problem is that you *didn't* want to build a supply chain and instead thought you would build your profit-focused business in other people's free stuff. If you were paying the berry-picker, you'd have a supply chain problem, but you weren't, so you really have an "I want more free stuff" problem when you can't be arsed to give away your own stuff for free.
There can be all sorts of problems in the really-free-market, like maybe not enough people bring socks, so the peasants who can't afford socks are going barefoot, and having foot problems, and the peasants put their heads together and see if they can convince someone to start bringing socks, and maybe they can't and things are a bit sad, but the really-free-market was never supposed to solve everyone's problems 100% when they're all still being squeezed dry by their taxes: until they are able to get free of the lord & start building a lovely anarchist society, the really-free-market is a best-effort kind of deal that aims to make things better, and sometimes will fall short. When it becomes the main way goods in society are distributed, and when the people who contribute aren't constantly drained by the feudal yoke, at that point the availability of particular goods is a real problem that needs to be solved, but at that point, it's also much easier to solve. And at *no* point does someone coming into the market to take stuff only to turn around and sell it deserve anything from the market or those contributing to it. They are not a supply chain. They're trying to help each other out, but even then they're doing so freely and without obligation. They might discuss amongst themselves how to better coordinate their mutual aid, but they're not going to end up forcing anyone to bring anything or even expecting that a certain person contribute a certain amount, since the whole point is that the thing is voluntary & free, and they've all got changing life circumstances that affect their contributions. Celebrate whatever shows up at the market, express your desire for things that would be useful, but don't impose a burden on anyone else to bring a specific thing, because otherwise it's fair for them to oppose such a burden on you, and now you two are doing your own barter thing that's outside the parameters of the really-free-market.

Maximizing entropy for power-free languages
A power-free language is characterized by the number of symbols used and a limit on how many times a block of symbols can repeat consecutively. For certain values of these parameters, it is known that the number of legal words grows exponentially fast with respect to length. In the terminology of dynamical systems and ergodic theory, this means that the corresponding shift space has positive topological entropy. We prove that in many cases, this shift space has a unique measure of maximal ent…

As applications of our result, we propose solutions to the recent open problems posed by Mussi et al. (2024), providing computationally efficient confidence sequences for logistic regression with adaptively chosen RKHS-valued covariates, and establishing instance-adaptive regret bounds in the corresponding kernelised bandit setting.

Trump’s MAGA agenda is increasingly at odds with free market economics, and some key conservatives are beginning to notice.

TopoBind: Multi-Modal Prediction of Antibody-Antigen Binding Free Energy via Sequence Embeddings and Structural Topology
Predicting the binding free energy between antibodies and antigens is a key challenge in structure-aware biomolecular modeling, with direct implications for antibody design. Most existing methods either rely solely on sequence embeddings or struggle to capture complex structural relationships, thus limiting predictive performance. In this work, we present a novel framework that integrates sequence-based representations from pre-trained protein language models (ESM-2) with a set of topological f…

VoxHammer: Training-Free Precise and Coherent 3D Editing in Native 3D Space
3D local editing of specified regions is crucial for game industry and robot interaction. Recent methods typically edit rendered multi-view images and then reconstruct 3D models, but they face challenges in precisely preserving unedited regions and overall coherence. Inspired by structured 3D generative models, we propose VoxHammer, a novel training-free approach that performs precise and coherent editing in 3D latent space. Given a 3D model, VoxHammer first predicts its inversion trajectory an…

The $L_\infty$ structure of Free Differential Algebras and $d=11$ Supergravity
We discuss free differential algebras (FDA's), a generalization of the Cartan-Maurer equations for the group manifold vielbein, appropriate for theories containing $p$-forms ($p >1$). Their dual formulation is an extension of Lie algebras, called $L_\infty$ algebras, and we illustrate this duality in a simple example. Finally we review the FDA structure and the dual $L_\infty$ structure of $d=11$ supergravity.

Handoff Design in User-Centric Cell-Free Massive MIMO Networks Using DRL
In the user-centric cell-free massive MIMO (UC-mMIMO) network scheme, user mobility necessitates updating the set of serving access points to maintain the user-centric clustering. Such updates are typically performed through handoff (HO) operations; however, frequent HOs lead to overheads associated with the allocation and release of resources. This paper presents a deep reinforcement learning (DRL)-based solution to predict and manage these connections for mobile users. Our solution employs th…

Max-Min Beamforming for Large-Scale Cell-Free Massive MIMO: A Randomized ADMM Algorithm
We consider the problem of max-min beamforming (MMB) for cell-free massive multi-input multi-output (MIMO) systems, where the objective is to maximize the minimum achievable rate among all users. Existing MMB methods are mainly based on deterministic optimization methods, which are computationally inefficient when the problem size grows large. To address this issue, we, in this paper, propose a randomized alternating direction method of multiplier (ADMM) algorithm for large-scale MMB problems. …

Recent advances in autonomous vehicle (AV) behavior planning have shown impressive social interaction capabilities when interacting with other road users. However, achieving human-like prediction and decision-making in interactions with vulnerable road users remains a key challenge in complex multi-agent interactive environments. Existing research focuses primarily on crowd navigation for small mobile robots, which cannot be directly applied to AVs due to inherent differences in their decision-…

Barren-plateau free variational quantum simulation of Z2 lattice gauge theories
In this work, we design a variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) suitable for investigating ground states and static string breaking in a $\mathbb{Z}_2$ lattice gauge theory (LGT). We consider a two-leg ladder lattice coupled to Kogut-Susskind staggered fermions and verify the results of the VQE simulations using tensor network methods. We find that for varying Hamiltonian parameter regimes and in the presence of external charges, the VQE is able to arrive at the gauge-invariant ground state wit…

On the generation of free-surface waves by instabilities in quadratic shear flows
This paper investigates the generation of free-surface waves in a liquid layer driven by linear instabilities in Couette-Poiseuille (quadratic) shear flows. The base velocity profiles are characterized by a curvature parameter, and two-dimensional viscous and inviscid perturbations are analyzed across a wide parameter space of curvature, wavenumber, and Reynolds number, for fixed Froude and Bond numbers. In the inviscid limit, analytical solutions of the Rayleigh equation reveal that velocity p…

Free boundary problem of low Mach number magnetohydrodynamic flows
In this paper we consider a free boundary problem of low Mach number magnetohydrodynamic flow in spatial dimension n $\geq$ 2. A priori estimates of the second fundamental form and various flow quantities in Sobolev norms are obtained by adopting the geometrical point of view introduced by Christodoulou and Lindblad [3]. Moreover, a blow up criterion is derived by using the method of Beale, Kato and Majda [2].

What is the Most Efficient Technique for Uplink Cell-Free Massive MIMO?
This paper seeks to determine the most efficient uplink technique for cell-free massive MIMO systems. Despite offering great advances, existing works suffer from fragmented methodologies and inconsistent assumptions (e.g., single- vs. multi-antenna access points, ideal vs. spatially correlated channels). To address these limitations, we: (1) establish a unified analytical framework compatible with centralized/distributed processing and diverse combining schemes; (2) develop a universal optimiza…

Classification of singular limits for free boundary and singularly perturbed elliptic problems: the Dancer-Yan spikes revisited
We classify the singular limits relative to a free boundary problem arising in plasma physics in dimension $d=2$, under suitable natural integral bounds. It turns out that one of the asymptotic behaviors allowed corresponds to the Dancer-Yan spikes (J. London Math. Soc. ({\bf 78}) 2008, 639--662). Interestingly enough, roughly speaking and unlike the higher dimensional case, it is not true that any solution in the limit is a Dancer-Yan spike. Indeed, the spiking structure is more rich and we su…
