A pretorsion theory for right groups
Alberto Facchini, Carmelo Antonio Finocchiaro
https://arxiv.org/abs/2603.23982 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2603.23982 https://arxiv.org/html/2603.23982

Abstract: Let $S$ be a right group. Then there exist two congruences $\sim$ and $\equiv$ on $S$ such that $S$ is the product of its quotient semigroups $S/{\sim}$ and $S/{\equiv}$, where $S/{\sim}$ is a group and $S/{\equiv}$ is a right zero semigroup. If $E$ is the set of all idempotents of $S$ and we fix an element $e_0\in E$, then the pointed right group $(S,e_0)$ is the coproduct of its pointed subsemigroups $(Se_0,e_0)$ and $(E,e_0)$ in the category of pointed right groups. In general, there is a pretorsion theory in the category of right groups in which the torsion objects are right zero semigroups and the torsion-free objects are groups.

From Isolation to Integration: Building an Adaptive Expert Forest for Pre-Trained Model-based Class-Incremental Learning
Ruiqi Liu, Boyu Diao, Hangda Liu, Zhulin An, Fei Wang, Yongjun Xu
https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.20911 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2602.20911 https://arxiv.org/html/2602.20911
arXiv:2602.20911v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Class-Incremental Learning (CIL) requires models to learn new classes without forgetting old ones. A common method is to freeze a pre-trained model and train a new, lightweight adapter for each task. While this prevents forgetting, it treats the learned knowledge as a simple, unstructured collection and fails to use the relationships between tasks. To this end, we propose the Semantic-guided Adaptive Expert Forest (SAEF), a new method that organizes adapters into a structured hierarchy for better knowledge sharing. SAEF first groups tasks into conceptual clusters based on their semantic relationships. Then, within each cluster, it builds a balanced expert tree by creating new adapters from merging the adapters of similar tasks. At inference time, SAEF finds and activates a set of relevant experts from the forest for any given input. The final prediction is made by combining the outputs of these activated experts, weighted by how confident each expert is. Experiments on several benchmark datasets show that SAEF achieves SOTA performance.

Quantum Graph Theory by Example
Gian Luca Spitzer, Ion Nechita
https://arxiv.org/abs/2603.23651 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2603.23651 https://arxiv.org/html/2603.23651
arXiv:2603.23651v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Quantum graphs have been introduced by Duan, Severini, and Winter to describe the zero-error behaviour of quantum channels. Since then, quantum graph theory has become a field of study in its own right. A substantial source of difficulty in working with quantum graphs compared to classical graphs stems from the fact that they are no longer discrete objects. This makes it generally difficult to construct insightful, non-trivial examples. We present a collection of non-trivial quantum graphs that can be thought of in discrete terms, and that can be expressed in the diagrammatic formalism introduced by Musto, Reutter, and Verdon. The examples arise as the quantum graphs acted on by increasingly smaller classical matrix groups, and are parametrised by triples of matrices $(A, B, C)$. The parametrisation reveals a clean decomposition of quantum graph structure into classical and genuinely quantum components: $A$ and $C$ are described by a classical weighted graph called the strange graph, while $B$ provides a purely quantum contribution with no classical analogue. Based on this model, we give exact formulas or establish bounds for quantum graph parameters, such as the number of connected components, the chromatic number, the independence number, and the clique number. Our results provide the first large, parametric families of quantum graphs for which standard graph parameters can be computed analytically.

There are also a bunch of other interesting things. The Seattle Grand Jury Resisters were kept in solitary confinement (for several months) under the pretext that this would compel them to testify. Belonging to a church together could have made such compulsion (more visibly) illegal. While I don't actually believe that the US government would follow the law, not then and especially not now, being able to talk about this as religious persecution could be enough to make other religious groups that align with Trump become more skittish.

Collectively owning property is difficult because the law is not set up for that, but a church provides a clear legal framework to do so. Prisoners can be cut off from political literature, but the first amendment protects religious literature (which is why Nazis started a church to get Nazi shit inside of prisons... but that's a whole other story). While these legal protections are definitely not guaranteed (we all know how many fucks the state gives about the law), it is both easy to hide in the noise (there are a *lot* of churches) and to hide in other ways. After all, the ichthys (Jesus fish) was an appropriated pagan symbol.
And there is also still value in peeling off other religious groups by showing them that they are also in danger. "When your enemy is strong, divide them," after all.

A great deal has changed since the 1960s and early 70s,
which helps explain why today’s anti-war movements are relatively weaker than in those days.
For one, the level of associational culture
– to say nothing of explicitly political organization
– has receded.
Anti-war activists did not just organize headline-grabbing mass marches.
They patiently worked together to build a vast anti-war infrastructure
– legal groups, GI coffeehouses, alternative n…
