A Generalized Shuffle Framework for Privacy Amplification: Strengthening Privacy Guarantees and Enhancing Utility
The shuffle model of local differential privacy is an advanced method of privacy amplification designed to enhance privacy protection with high utility. It achieves this by randomly shuffling sensitive data, making linking individual data points to specific individuals more challenging. However, most existing studies have focused on the shuffle model based on $(ε_0,0)$-Locally Differentially Private (LDP) randomizers, with limited consideration for complex scenarios such as $(ε_0,δ_0)$-LDP o…

The quadratic linking degree
By using motivic homotopy theory, we introduce a counterpart in algebraic geometry to oriented links and their linking numbers. After constructing the (ambient) quadratic linking degree -- our analogue of the linking number which takes values in the Witt group of the ground field -- and exploring some of its properties, we give a method to explicitly compute it. We illustrate this method on a family of examples which are analogues of torus links, in particular of the Hopf and Solomon links.

On the origin of mixed morphology supernova remnants: Linking their properties to the evolution of a red supergiant progenitor star
Mixed-morphology supernova remnants (MMSNRs) are characterized by a shell-like morphology in the radio and centrally-peaked thermal emission in the X-ray band. The nature of this peculiar class of supernova remnants (SNRs) remains a controversial issue. In this work, by pairing the predictions of stellar evolution theory with two-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations we show that the mixed morphology properties of a SNR can arise by the interaction of the SNR with the circumstellar medium shaped…

Such high BH masses are very rare and allow to investigate BH - host galaxy scaling relations at the high mass end, which in turn provide hints about the (co)evolution of such systems. NGC~708 is found to be an outlier in all the canonical scaling relations except for those linking the BH mass to the core properties. The galaxy …

Machine learning that predicts well may not learn the correct physical descriptions of glassy systems
The complexity of glasses makes it challenging to explain their dynamics. Machine Learning (ML) has emerged as a promising pathway for understanding glassy dynamics by linking their structural features to rearrangement dynamics. Support Vector Machine (SVM) was one of the first methods used to detect such correlations. Specifically, a certain output of SVMs trained to predict dynamics from structure, the distance from the separating hyperplane, was interpreted as being linearly related to the a…

Oriented posets, Rank Matrices and q-deformed Markov Numbers
We define oriented posets with correpsonding rank matrices, where linking two posets by an edge corresponds to matrix multiplication. In particular, linking chains via this method gives us fence posets, and taking traces gives us circular fence posets. As an application, we give a combinatorial model for $q$-deformed Markov numbers. We also resolve a conjecture of Leclere and Morier-Genoud and give several identities between circular rank polynomials.

Linking Through Time: Memory-Enhanced Community Discovery in Temporal Networks
Temporal Networks, and more specifically, Markovian Temporal Networks, present a unique challenge regarding the community discovery task. The inherent dynamism of these systems requires an intricate understanding of memory effects and structural heterogeneity, which are often key drivers of network evolution. In this study, we address these aspects by introducing an innovative approach to community detection, centered around a novel modularity function. We focus on demonstrating the improvement…

A Generalized Shuffle Framework for Privacy Amplification: Strengthening Privacy Guarantees and Enhancing Utility
The shuffle model of local differential privacy is an advanced method of privacy amplification designed to enhance privacy protection with high utility. It achieves this by randomly shuffling sensitive data, making linking individual data points to specific individuals more challenging. However, most existing studies have focused on the shuffle model based on $(ε_0,0)$-Locally Differentially Private (LDP) randomizers, with limited consideration for complex scenarios such as $(ε_0,δ_0)$-LDP o…

Mineral and cross-linking in collagen fibrils: The mechanical behavior of bone tissue at the nano-scale
The mineralized collagen fibril is the main building block of hard tissues and it directly affects the macroscopic mechanics of biological tissues such as bone. The mechanical behavior of the fibril itself is determined by its structure: the content of collagen molecules, minerals, and cross-links, and the mechanical interactions and properties of these components. Advanced-Glycation-Endproducts (AGEs) cross-linking between tropocollagen molecules within the collagen fibril is one important fac…

Unifying area and unit-level small area estimation through calibration
When estimating area means, direct estimators based on area-specific data, are usually consistent under the sampling design without model assumptions. However, they are inefficient if the area sample size is small. In small area estimation, model assumptions linking the areas are used to "borrow strength" from other areas. The basic area-level model provides design-consistent estimators but error variances are assumed to be known. In practice, they are estimated with the (scarce) area-specific …

Linking Invariants for Valuations and Orderings on Fields
The mod-2 arithmetic Milnor invariants, introduced by Morishita, provide a decomposition law for primes in canonical Galois extensions with unitriangular Galois groups, and contain the Legendre and Redei symbols as special cases. Morishita further proposed a notion of mod-q arithmetic Milnor invariants, where q is a prime power, for number fields containing the q-th roots of unity and satisfying certain class field theory assumptions. We extend this theory from the number field context to gener…

Experimental determination of effective light transport properties in fully anisotropic media
Structurally anisotropic materials are ubiquitous in several application fields, yet their accurate optical characterization remains challenging due to the lack of general models linking their scattering coefficients to the macroscopic transport observables, and the need to combine multiple measurements to retrieve their direction-dependent values. Here, we present an improved method for the experimental determination of light transport tensor coefficients from the diffusive rates measured alon…

Neural Population Geometry and Optimal Coding of Tasks with Shared Latent Structure
Humans and animals can recognize latent structures in their environment and apply this information to efficiently navigate the world. Several recent works argue that the brain supports these abilities by forming neural representations that encode such latent structures in flexible, generalizable ways. However, it remains unclear what aspects of neural population activity are contributing to these computational capabilities. Here, we develop an analytical theory linking the mesoscopic statistics…

A General Theory of Static Response for Markov Jump Processes
We consider Markov jump processes on a graph described by a rate matrix that depends on various control parameters. We derive explicit expressions for the static responses of edge currents and steady-state probabilities. We show that they are constrained by the graph topology (i.e. the incidence matrix) by deriving response relations (i.e. linear constraints linking the different responses) and topology-dependent bounds. For unicyclic networks, all scaled current sensitivities are between zero …

Linking intra- and extra-cellular metabolic domains via neural-network surrogates for dynamic metabolic control
We outline a modeling and optimization strategy for investigating dynamic metabolic engineering interventions. Our framework is particularly useful at the early stages of research and development, often constrained by limited knowledge and experimental data. Elucidating a priori optimal trajectories of manipulatable intracellular fluxes can guide the design of suitable control schemes, e.g., cyber(ge)netic or in-cell approaches, and the selection of appropriate actuators, e.g., at the transcrip…

Line operators, vortex statistics, and Higgs versus confinement dynamics
We study a $2{+}1$D lattice gauge theory with fundamental representation scalar fields which has both Higgs and confining regimes with a spontaneously-broken $U(1)$ $0$-form symmetry. We show that the Higgs and confining regimes may be distinguished by a natural gauge invariant observable: the phase $Ω$ of a correlation function of a vortex line operator linking with an electric Wilson line. We employ dualities and strong coupling expansions to analytically explore parameter regimes which were…

Generalized boost transformations in finite volumes and application to Hamiltonian methods
The investigation of hadron interactions within lattice QCD has been facilitated by the well-known quantisation condition, linking scattering phase shifts to finite-volume energies. Additionally, the ability to utilise systems at finite total boosts has been pivotal in smoothly charting the energy-dependent behaviour of these phase shifts. The existing implementations of the quantization condition at finite boosts rely on momentum transformations between rest and moving frames, defined directly…

In the present work, we have analysed the Kantowski-Sachs cosmological model with teleparallel gravity, where a bulk viscous fluid containing one-dimensional cosmic strings serves as the source for the energy-momentum tensor. To obtain the deterministic solution of the field equations, we employed the proportionality condition linking the shear scalar (σ) and the expansion scalar (θ), which establishes a relationship between metric potentials. Another approach employed was the utilisation of …

As a direct consequence, we obtain an infinite family of transverse knots in $(\mathbb{S}^3,ξ_{std})$ that are not transverse-universal, although they are universal in the topological sense.

Basal force fluctuations and granular rheology: Linking macroscopic descriptions of granular flows to bed forces with implications for monitoring signals
Granular flows are ubiquitous in nature with single flows traversing a wide range of dynamic conditions from initiation to deposition. Many of these flows are responsible for significant hazards and have the ability to generate remotely detectable seismic signals. These signals provide a potential for real-time flow measurements from a safe distance. To fully realize the benefit of seismic measurements, basal granular forces must be linked to macroscopic internal flow dynamics across a wide ran…

Categorification of quiver diagonalization and Koszul algebras
In earlier work of three of the authors of the present paper, a supercommutative quadratic algebra was associated to each symmetric quiver, and a new proof of positivity of motivic Donaldson-Thomas invariants of symmetric quivers was given using the so called numerical Koszul property of these algebras. It was furthermore conjectured that for each symmetric quiver such an algebra is Koszul. In this work, we lift the linking and unlinking operations on symmetric quivers of Ekholm, Longhi and the…

Shepherding control and herdability in complex multiagent systems
We study the shepherding control problem where a group of "herders" need to orchestrate their collective behaviour in order to steer the dynamics of a group of "target" agents towards a desired goal. We relax the strong assumptions of targets showing cohesive collective behavior in the absence of the herders, and herders owning global sensing capabilities. We find scaling laws linking the number of targets and minimum herders needed, and we unveil the existence of a critical threshold of the de…

Conformal Predictions for Probabilistically Robust Scalable Machine Learning Classification
Conformal predictions make it possible to define reliable and robust learning algorithms. But they are essentially a method for evaluating whether an algorithm is good enough to be used in practice. To define a reliable learning framework for classification from the very beginning of its design, the concept of scalable classifier was introduced to generalize the concept of classical classifier by linking it to statistical order theory and probabilistic learning theory. In this paper, we analyze…
