Locally Linear Convergence for Nonsmooth Convex Optimization via Coupled Smoothing and Momentum

Abstract: We propose an adaptive accelerated smoothing technique for a nonsmooth convex optimization problem where the smoothing update rule is coupled with the momentum parameter. We also extend the setting to the case where the objective function is the sum of two nonsmooth functions. With regard to convergence rate, we provide the global (optimal) sublinear convergence guarantees of O(1/k), which is known to be provably optimal for the studied class of functions, along with a local linear rate if the nonsmooth term fulfills a so-call locally strong convexity condition. We validate the performance of our algorithm on several problem classes, including regression with the l1-norm (the Lasso problem), sparse semidefinite programming (the MaxCut problem), Nuclear norm minimization with application in model free fault diagnosis, and l_1-regularized model predictive control to showcase the benefits of the coupling. An interesting observation is that although our global convergence result guarantees O(1/k) convergence, we consistently observe a practical transient convergence rate of O(1/k^2), followed by asymptotic linear convergence as anticipated by the theoretical result. This two-phase behavior can also be explained in view of the proposed smoothing rule.

Tropical islands are turning their biggest challenge into their greatest strength.
Vulnerable to climate change and dependent on expensive fossil fuels, island nations are proving that carbon neutrality by 2050 is economically viable. Solar PV is leading the charge, with innovative Solar-to-X tech converting sunshine into e-fuels and e-chemicals to power hard-to-decarbonize sectors.

Small islands, big impact: the role of solar PV for the tropics
Low-cost renewables provide an opportunity for tropical islands to drive a sustainable, secure and self-sufficient economy. Solar PV emerges as the bulk energy provider, driven by excellent resource conditions and fast-improving economic attractiveness. The anticipated momentum of solar PV in tropical islands can best be characterised as a Solar-to-X Economy.

Abstract: Production and manipulation of orbital angular momentum (OAM) of coherent soft x-ray beams is demonstrated utilizing consecutive diffractive optics. OAM addition is observed upon passing the beam through consecutive fork gratings. The OAM of the beam was found to be decoupled from its spin angular momentum (SAM). Practical implementation of angular momentum control by consecutive devices in the x-ray regime opens new experimental opportunities, such as direct measurement of OAM beams without resorting to phase sensitive techniques, including holography. OAM analyzers utilizing fork gratings can be used to characterize the beams produced by synchrotron and free electron lasers sources; they can also be used in scattering experiments.

Non-linear structure formation with elastic interactions in the dark sector
Cosmological models where dark matter interacts with dark energy via a pure momentum transfer and with no energy exchange (i.e. elastic) provide compelling scenarios for addressing the apparent lack of structures at low redshift. In particular, it has been shown that measurements of $S_8$ may show a statistically significant preference for the presence of elastic interactions. In this work we implement a specific realisation of these scenarios into an $N$-body code to explore the non-linear reg…

Magnetic topological insulators (MTIs) are among the prominent platforms for the next generation of high-speed and low-power spintronic devices.

Abstract: Light carrying transverse orbital angular momentum (T-OAM) in the form of spatiotemporal optical vortices (STOVs) is opening new degrees of freedom for structured light manipulation. Such spatiotemporal wavepackets hold significant potential for optical trapping, analog optical computing, studying photonic symmetry and topology, among others. Up to now, synthesizing of such vortices is limited in one dimension, either in temporal or spatial domain. In this work, we propose and experimentally demonstrate a two-dimensional flexible mesh of spatiotemporal optical vortices (M-STOV) with programmable intensity nulls, and analyze their diffraction patterns for detection. Furthermore, we extend the spectral range of M-STOV via second-harmonic generation while examining the transfer of OAM in this nonlinear process. This study establishes a foundational framework for designing higher dimensional spatiotemporal vortex fields and promises a high-capacity information carrier based on ST optical vortices.

Abstract: Crystalline symmetry offers a powerful tool to realize photonic topological phases, in which additional trivial claddings are typically required to confine topological boundary states. However, the utility of the trivial cladding in manipulating topological waves is often overlooked. Here, we demonstrate two topologically distinct kagome photonic crystals (KPCs) based on different crystalline symmetries: \mathbit{C}_\mathbf{6}- symmetric KPCs exhibit a quantum spin Hall phase, while \mathbit{C}_\mathbf{3}-symmetric KPCs serve as trivial cladding. By tuning the geometric parameter of the trivial cladding, we observe that a pair of topological interface states featured with pseudospin-momentum locking undergoes a phase transition, accompanied by the appearance and disappearance of corner states in a finite hexagonal supercell. Such a geometry-induced band inversion is characterized by a sign change in the Dirac mass of the topological interface states and holds potential for applications such as rainbow trapping. Furthermore, we experimentally demonstrate the corner states, which is a hallmark of higher-order topology, also depend critically on the trivial cladding. Our work highlights the crucial role of trivial claddings on the formation of topological boundary states, and offers a novel approach for their manipulation.

A Solution to the Hierarchy Problem with Non-Linear Quantum Mechanics
We argue that the hierarchy problem of the standard model of particle physics can be solved by adding a state-dependent term to the Higgs sector. We present an example of a scalar field with a Higgs-like potential with an additional term proportional to the expectation value of the squared Higgs field operator. We show that the mass can be parametrically lighter than the theory's energy-momentum cutoff without fine tuning. We find the Higgs mass can be technically natural, even with a Planck-sc…

Unlocking the initial neutron density distribution from the two-pion HBT correlation function in heavy-ion collisions
Revealing the neutron density distribution in the nucleus is one of the crucial tasks of nuclear physics. Within the framework of the ultrarelativistic quantum molecular dynamic model followed by a correlation afterburner program, we investigate the effects of the initial neutron density distribution on the charged-pion yield ratio $π^{-}/π^{+}$, the two-pion momentum correlation function, and the emission source dimension. It is found that the $π^{-}/π^{+}$ ratio is sensitive to the initia…

“Mayor for the Masses”: Can the Democratic Socialist Movement That Elected Mamdani Keep Its Momentum?
New York City is preparing to welcome Zohran Mamdani, a democratic socialist and member of the New York City Democratic Socialists of America, into office as mayor. Ahead of the highly anticipated inauguration, we sit down with NYC-DSA’s co-chair Grace Mausser to discuss the goals of the incoming administration and next steps for the volunteer-powered campaign apparatus that helped propel Mamdani to City Hall. “Just getting a mayor into office, while impressive and very exciting, is not eno…
