The Geometry of Conformal Quivers
We study the geometry of the gauged quiver quantum mechanics realizing $D(2,1;0)$ superconformal symmetry. These models arise as effective descriptions of multi-centered D-brane systems in type II Calabi-Yau compactifications, in the $AdS_2$ scaling limit, and they describe the near-horizon microscopics of multi-centered BPS black holes in the four dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ supergravity. We work in the gauged sigma model formulation with off-shell $(4,4,0)$ multiplets, which allows us to intr…

Limits of equilibrium states for coupled weakly interacting systems. Application to the measure of maximal entropy
We study metastability for symbolic dynamic. We prove that for a global system given by two independent sub-systems linked by a hole, and for a Lipschitz continuous potential, the global equilibrium state converges, as the hole shrinks, to a convex combination of the two independent equilibria in each component. Two kinds of convergence occur, depending on the assumptions on how long an orbit has to stay in each well. As a by-product, we show that this can be applied to a geometrical system in…

GAMBIT+: A Challenge Set for Evaluating Gender Bias in Machine Translation Quality Estimation Metrics
Gender bias in machine translation (MT) systems has been extensively documented, but bias in automatic quality estimation (QE) metrics remains comparatively underexplored. Existing studies suggest that QE metrics can also exhibit gender bias, yet most analyses are limited by small datasets, narrow occupational coverage, and restricted language variety. To address this gap, we introduce a large-scale challenge set specifically designed to probe the behavior of QE metrics when evaluating translat…

Do null defects dream of conformal symmetry?
We initiate the study of null line defects in Lorentzian conformal field theories in various dimensions. We show that null lines geometrically preserve a larger set of conformal isometries than their timelike and spacelike counterparts, explain a connection to non-relativistic systems, and constrain correlation functions using conformal Ward identities. We argue that having conformal symmetry, and especially maximal conformal symmetry, is extremely constraining -- nearly trivializing systems. W…

A standalone simulation program for Resistive Cylindrical Chamber (RCC)
In recent years, the Resistive Cylindrical Chamber (RCC) has been introduced as a novel gaseous detector, extending the well-established Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs) to the case of cylindrical electrode geometry. Preliminary experimental studies have highlighted several promis- ing features of this configuration, motivating the need for further systematic investigations of its operation. In contrast, from the simulation perspective, detailed studies of the RCC have not been performed yet, de…

Exploring the Origin of Anisotropy in Small Systems: From Symmetric (O+O) to Asymmetric (d+Au) Collisions
This contribution reports STAR measurements of azimuthal anisotropies in produced particle distributions of the d+Au and $^{16}$O+$^{16}$O collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 200$ GeV, probing the origin of collectivity in small systems. We test the hydrodynamic response of the produced medium by comparing these systems with vastly different initial geometries. The measured elliptic ($v_2$) and triangular ($v_3$) anisotropies, and their event-by-event fluctuations, scale robustly with initial-state …

Alright, the good news is that I've mostly corrected convergence on the Sony PVM-2530 and it looks tons better. The bad news is that I'm getting shadowing/bleeding on changes in colors which wasn't apparent due to the horrible convergence. However, it's progress. I think it's a cap issue...not sure where though.

Forecasting Inflation Based on Hybrid Integration of the Riemann Zeta Function and the FPAS Model (FPAS + $ζ$): Cyclical Flexibility, Socio-Economic Challenges and Shocks, and Comparative Analysis of Models
Inflation forecasting is a core socio-economic challenge in modern macroeconomic modeling, especially when cyclical, structural, and shock factors act simultaneously. Traditional systems such as FPAS and ARIMA often struggle with cyclical asymmetry and unexpected fluctuations. This study proposes a hybrid framework (FPAS + $ζ$) that integrates a structural macro model (FPAS) with cyclical components derived from the Riemann zeta function $ζ(1/2 + i t)$. Using Georgia's macro data (2005-2024),…

Measuring Gender Bias in Job Title Matching for Grammatical Gender Languages
This work sets the ground for studying how explicit grammatical gender assignment in job titles can affect the results of automatic job ranking systems. We propose the usage of metrics for ranking comparison controlling for gender to evaluate gender bias in job title ranking systems, in particular RBO (Rank-Biased Overlap). We generate and share test sets for a job title matching task in four grammatical gender languages, including occupations in masculine and feminine form and annotated by gen…

Quantum dissipative effects for a real scalar field coupled to a dynamical Neumann surface in d+1 dimensions
We study dissipative effects for a system consisting of a massless real scalar field satisfying Neumann boundary conditions on a space and time-dependent surface, in d+1 dimensions. We focus on the comparison of the results for this system with the ones corresponding to Dirichlet conditions, and the same surface space-time geometry. We show that, in d=1, the effects are equal up to second order for rather arbitrary surfaces, and up to fourth order for wavelike surfaces. For d>1, we find general…
