On the colored Links--Gould polynomial
We give a cabling formula for the Links--Gould polynomial of knots colored with a $4n$-dimensional irreducible representation of $\mathrm{U}^H_q\mathfrak{sl}(2|1)$ and identify them with the $V_n$-polynomial of knots for $n=2$. Using the cabling formula, we obtain genus bounds and a specialization to the Alexander polynomial for the colored Links--Gould polynomial that is independent of $n$, which implies corresponding properties of the $V_n$-polynomial for $n=2$ conjectured in previous wo…

The Power Contamination Problem on Grids Revisited: Optimality, Combinatorics, and Links to Integer Sequences
This paper presents a combinatorial study of the power contamination problem, a dynamic variant of power domination modeled on grid graphs. We resolve a conjecture posed by Ainouche and Bouroubi (2021) by proving it is false and instead establish the exact value of the power contamination number on grid graphs. Furthermore, we derive recurrence relations for this number and initiate the enumeration of optimal contamination sets. We prove that the number of optimal solutions for specific grid fa…

GUE-corners process in two-periodic Aztec diamonds
Links between uniform Aztec diamonds and random matrices are numerous in the literature. In particular \cite{johansson2006eigenvalues,Forrester} established that, under correct rescaling, the probability density function of a certain subclass of dominos converges to the GUE-corners (GUE minor) process in the large size limit. We are interested to see whether this result holds when we modify the probability measure on the space of configurations. In the first part, we look at the case of biased …

Exploring How Audio Effects Alter Emotion with Foundation Models
Audio effects (FX) such as reverberation, distortion, modulation, and dynamic range processing play a pivotal role in shaping emotional responses during music listening. While prior studies have examined links between low-level audio features and affective perception, the systematic impact of audio FX on emotion remains underexplored. This work investigates how foundation models - large-scale neural architectures pretrained on multimodal data - can be leveraged to analyze these effects. Such mo…

LINC: An In-Network Coding Approach to Tame Packet Loss in Hybrid Wireless-Fiber Backbones
The emergence of ultra-low latency applications, such as financial transactions, has driven the development of hybrid backbone networks that rely on fiber, satellite, and microwave links. Despite providing low latencies, these hybrid networks suffer from occasional environmental packet loss caused by poor weather, construction, and line of sight blockage. Paradoxically, today's hybrid backbones rely on conventional transport protocols that take packet loss to signal network congestion, as oppos…

A preorder on the set of links defined via orbifolds
For a link $L$ in the $3$-sphere, the $π$-orbifold group $G^\mathrm{orb}(L)$ is defined as a quotient of the link group of $L$. When there exists an epimorphism $G^\mathrm{orb}(L)\to G^\mathrm{orb}(L')$, we denote this by $L\succeq L'$ and explore the relationships between the two links. Specifically, we prove that if $L\succeq L'$ and $L$ is a Montesinos link with $r$ rational tangles $(r\geq 3)$, then $L'$ is either a Montesinos link with at most $r+1$ rational tangles or a certain connected…

Probabilistic Links Between Quantum Classification of Patterns of Boolean Functions and Hamming Distance
This article investigates the probabilistic relationship between quantum classification of Boolean functions and their Hamming distance. By integrating concepts from quantum computing, information theory, and combinatorics, we explore how Hamming distance serves as a metric for analyzing deviations in function classification. Our extensive experimental results confirm that the Hamming distance is a pivotal metric for validating nearest neighbors in the process of classifying random functions. O…

A stud of 2-periodic weft-knitted textiles using the theory of knots and links
In this study, we use a correspondence between two-periodic weft-knitted textiles and links in the thickened torus to study the former using link invariants. We establish a criterion to identify the set of links whose elements are realized through techniques of weft-knitting leading to new, unconventional types of weft-knitting stitch patterns. A crucial topological underpinning of these links is shown to be their correspondence with ribbon knots and links in Euclidean three-space and equivalen…
