Optimal $L^2$ error estimation for the unfitted interface finite element method based on the non-symmetric Nitsche's methods
This paper establishes optimal error estimates in the $L^2$ for the non-symmetric Nitsche method in an unfitted interface finite element setting. Extending our earlier work, we give a complete analysis for the Poisson interface model and, by formulating a tailored dual problem that restores adjoint consistency, derive the desired bounds.

Kinetic collisionless model of the solar transition region and corona with spatially intermittent heating
We develop a three-dimensional kinetic model of the solar transition region and corona in which the plasma above the chromosphere is collisionless and embedded in a uniform magnetic field. Heating occurs intermittently at discrete locations on the chromospheric surface, modeled through a surface coarse-graining procedure that produces non-thermal boundary conditions for the Vlasov equation. The resulting stationary distribution functions generate suprathermal particle populations and naturally …

Multiply Robust Estimation of Conditional Survival Probability with Time-Varying Covariates
It is often of interest to study the association between covariates and the incidence of a time-to-event outcome, but a common challenge is right-censoring and time-varying covariates measured on a fixed discrete time scale that may explain the censoring afterwards. For example, in vaccine trials, it is of interest to study the association between immune response levels after administering the vaccine and the incidence of the endpoint, but there is loss to follow-up or administrative censoring,…

Judging by Appearances? Auditing and Intervening Vision-Language Models for Bail Prediction
Large language models (LLMs) have been extensively used for legal judgment prediction tasks based on case reports and crime history. However, with a surge in the availability of large vision language models (VLMs), legal judgment prediction systems can now be made to leverage the images of the criminals in addition to the textual case reports/crime history. Applications built in this way could lead to inadvertent consequences and be used with malicious intent. In this work, we run an audit to i…

Anyon interactions in the Chern--Simons--Landau--Ginzburg model of the fractional quantum Hall effect
The interactions of anyonic quasi-particles (vortices) in the Chern--Simons extension of the Ginzburg--Landau model is investigated and we show that it manifestly realizes a hybridization of type I/II superconductivity. Through Gauss' law, each vortex simultaneously carries a flux quantum and a proportional Noether charge, thereby realizing an anyonic excitation. The Chern--Simons coupling also modifies the screening structure of the gauge fields, producing complex-conjugate masses that yield a…

Crab-waist interaction region design and integration for the Super Tau-Charm Facility
The Super Tau-Charm Facility (STCF) is a new-generation $e^+e^-$ collider proposed in China, designed to operate in the center-of-mass (CoM) energy range of 2-7 GeV. To achieve the design luminosity exceeding 5*10^34 cm^-2s^-1 at the optimal CoM energy of 4 GeV, a large crossing angle combined with the crab-waist correction scheme is adopted. However, this scheme introduces strong nonlinearities in the interaction region (IR) due to the extremely low vertical beta function of beta_y* <=1 mm, wh…

Optimal $L^2$ Error Estimates for Non-symmetric Nitsche's Methods
We establish optimal $L^2$-error estimates for the non-symmetric Nitsche method. Existing analyses yield only suboptimal $L^2$ convergence, in contrast to consistently optimal numerical results. We resolve this discrepancy by introducing a specially constructed dual problem that restores adjoint consistency. Our analysis covers both super-penalty and penalty-free variants on quasi-uniform meshes, as well as the practically important case on general shape-regular meshes without quasi-uniformity.…
