The impact of the European Union's enlargement with the Western Balkans and the Association Trio on the power of member states in the Council
As of 2022, the European Union has taken several steps regarding enlargement. We focus on the accession of countries with which the Union is actively negotiating membership. This is examined under two enlargement scenarios: first, the enlargement along the lines of the Western Balkan countries, and second, the accession of a trio (Ukraine, Moldova, and Georgia) to the already enlarged Union. We determine the a priori power of the member states based on the Banzhaf and Shapley--Shubik indices. V…

Day 17 (oops; a bit early): Angie Thomas
Can hardly believe it's taken me this long to get to Thomas, and I haven't even read "The Hate You Give" which is probably her most popular book. I did read "Concrete Rose" and was duly blown away by her craft: the use of vernacular, the love she has for the community she writes about, the honesty with which she grapples with the bleak details of the setting, and her stubborn and inescapable portrayal of a human being where our society has taught us to see only perpetrators and victims. CW for family member death and gun violence that I can think of; it's not light reading.
As the parent of two children, Thomas' descriptions of baby care ring true, and drew me into the book more than any other factor, and her vision of a positive masculinity among so much pain is breathtaking. "Concrete Rose" is a brilliant novel, and Thomas richly deserves a spot on this list.

DCMI: A Differential Calibration Membership Inference Attack Against Retrieval-Augmented Generation
While Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) effectively reduces hallucinations by integrating external knowledge bases, it introduces vulnerabilities to membership inference attacks (MIAs), particularly in systems handling sensitive data.

To address this, we propose DCMI, a differential calibration MIA that miti…

Construction of Higher Chow cycles on cyclic coverings of $\mathbb{P}^1 \times \mathbb{P}^1$
In this paper, we construct higher Chow cycles of type $(2, 1)$ on a certain family of surfaces, which are constructed by a product of certain hypergeometric curves of degree $N$. We prove that for a very general member, these cycles are linearly independent over $\mathbb{Z}$ and generate a subgroup of $\operatorname{rank} \ge 36 \cdot φ(N)$, where $φ(N)$ is Euler's totient function, by computing the image of the transcendental regulator map.

A Graph Width Perspective on Partially Ordered Hamiltonian Paths and Cycles II: Vertex and Edge Deletion Numbers
We consider the problem of finding a Hamiltonian path or cycle with precedence constraints in the form of a partial order on the vertex set. We study the complexity for graph width parameters for which the ordinary problems $\mathsf{Hamiltonian\ Path}$ and $\mathsf{Hamiltonian\ Cycle}$ are in $\mathsf{FPT}$. In particular, we focus on parameters that describe how many vertices and edges have to be deleted to become a member of a certain graph class. We show that the problems are $\mathsf{W[1]}$…
