Augmented links, shadow links, and the TV volume conjecture: a geometric perspective
For hyperbolic 3-manifolds, the growth rate of their Turaev-Viro invariants, evaluated at a certain root of unity, is conjectured to give the hyperbolic volume of the manifold. This has been verified for a handful of examples and several infinite families of link complements, including fundamental shadow links. Fundamental shadow links lie in connected sums of copies of $S^1\times S^2$, and their complements are built of regular ideal octahedra. Another well-known family of links with complemen…

Mapping National Vulnerability Database (NVD) records to vulnerability-fixing commits (VFCs) is crucial for vulnerability analysis but challenging due to sparse explicit links in NVD references.This study explores this mapping's feasibility through an empirical approach.

Bipartite calculus is a direct generalization of Kauffman planar expansion from $N=2$ to arbitrary $N$, applicable to the restricted class of knots which are entirely made of antiparallel lock tangles. Whenever applicable, it allows a straightforward generalization of the Khovanov calculus without a need of the technically complicated matrix factorization used for arbitrary $N$ in the Khovanov-Rozansky (KR) approach. The main object here is the $3^{n}$-dimensional hypercube with $n$ being the n…

Diffuse Interstellar bands and ultraviolet extinction bump: a Milky Way perspective on distant galaxies
The spectral width wB and the center wavelength lB of the UV absorption bump uvB measured for two z=7 galaxies were found to differ from Milky Way (MW) values. A decrease of wB by 45% and a positive shift of lB by 70-80 Ang were measured. In the MW, the uvB amplitude hB and wB do vary; however, such a narrow bump has never been observed and no variability of lB has been convincingly found. Recently, links have been found between both hB and wB and the strength of several Diffuse Interstellar ab…

Robust Learning on Noisy Graphs via Latent Space Constraints with External Knowledge
Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) often struggle with noisy edges. We propose Latent Space Constrained Graph Neural Networks (LSC-GNN) to incorporate external "clean" links and guide embeddings of a noisy target graph. We train two encoders--one on the full graph (target plus external edges) and another on a regularization graph excluding the target's potentially noisy links--then penalize discrepancies between their latent representations. This constraint steers the model away from overfitting spur…

Perfect Matching with Few Link Activations
We consider the problem of computing a perfect matching problem in a synchronous distributed network, where the network topology corresponds to a complete bipartite graph. The communication between nodes is restricted to activating communication links, which means that instead of sending messages containing a number of bits, each node can only send a pulse over some of its incident links in each round. In the port numbering model, where nodes are unaware of their neighbor's IDs, we give a rando…

In this paper, we study Legendrian realizations of cable links of knot types that are uniformly thick but not Legendrian simple, extending prior work of Dalton, the second author, and Traynor. This leads to new phenomena, such as Legendrian links that are smoothly isotopic and component-wise Legendrian isotopic, but are not Legendrian isotopic. In our study, we establish new results for cable links whose cable slope is sufficiently negative. We will also show how to classify Legendrian knots in…

For diffusion process involving the force $F(x)$ and the diffusion coefficient $D(x)$, the continuity equation $\partial_t P_t(x)=- \partial_xJ_t(x)$ gives the dynamics of the probability $P_t( x)$ in terms of the current $J_t( x)=F(x)P_t(x)-D(x)\partial_x P_t(x)={\cal J}P_t( x)$ obtained from $P_t( x) $ via the application of the first-order differential current-operator ${\cal J}$.
