Connections between hyperlinearity, stability and character rigidity for higher rank lattices
Let $Γ$ be an irreducible lattice in a semisimple Lie group of real rank at least $2$. Suppose that $Γ$ has property (T;FD), that is, its finite dimensional representations have a uniform spectral gap. We show that if $Γ$ is (flexibly) Hilbert--Schmidt stable then: $(a)$ infinite central extensions $\widetildeΓ$ of $Γ$ are not hyperlinear, and $(b)$ every character of $Γ$ is either finite-dimensional or induced from the center (character rigidity). As a consequence, a positive answer to t…

Unifying renormalized and bare viscosity in two-dimensional molecular dynamics simulations
Fluctuating hydrodynamics provides a framework connecting mesoscopic fluctuations with macroscopic transport behavior. To bridge mesoscopic and macroscopic transport from microscopic dynamics, we introduce a wavenumber-dependent viscosity, defined via the equilibrium correlation of time-averaged Fourier components of the fine-grained shear stress field, as a finite-wavevector extension of the Green--Kubo formula. Two-dimensional molecular dynamics simulations reveal its small-wavenumber diverge…

BreastDCEDL: Curating a Comprehensive DCE-MRI Dataset and developing a Transformer Implementation for Breast Cancer Treatment Response Prediction
Breast cancer remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, making early detection and accurate treatment response monitoring critical priorities. We present BreastDCEDL, a curated, deep learning-ready dataset comprising pre-treatment 3D Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) scans from 2,070 breast cancer patients drawn from the I-SPY1, I-SPY2, and Duke cohorts, all sourced from The Cancer Imaging Archive. The raw DICOM imaging data were rigorously converted into standardized…

Aging of amorphous materials under cyclic strain
Amorphous materials driven away from equilibrium display a diverse repertoire of complex, history-dependent behaviors. One striking feature is a failure to return to equilibrium after an abrupt change in otherwise static external conditions. Instead, amorphous materials often exhibit physical aging: an ever-slowing, nonexponential relaxation that can span a huge range of timescales. Here we examine the aging behavior of three different amorphous materials subjected to slow periodic driving. The…

The COVID-19 Inflation Weighting in Israel
Significant shifts in the composition of consumer spending as a result of the COVID-19 crisis can complicate the interpretation of official inflation data, which are calculated by the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) based on a fixed basket of goods. We focus on Israel as a country that experienced three lockdowns, additional restrictions that significantly changed consumer behavior, and a successful vaccination campaign that has led to the lifting of most of these restrictions. We use credit…

Measuring Communication Quality of Interest Rate Announcements
We use text-mining techniques to measure the accessibility and quality of information within the texts of interest rate announcements published by the Bank of Israel over the past decade. We find that comprehension of interest rate announcements published by the Bank of Israel requires fewer years of education than interest rate announcements published by the Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank. In addition, we show that the sentiment within these announcements is aligned with economi…
