A Normality Conjecture on Rational Base Number Systems
The rational base number system, introduced by Akiyama, Frougny, and Sakarovitch in 2008, is a generalization of the classical integer base number system. Within this framework two interesting families of infinite words emerge, called minimal and maximal words. We conjecture that every minimal and maximal word is normal over an appropriate subalphabet. To support this conjecture, we present extensive numerical experiments that examine the richness threshold and the discrepancy of these words. W…

Asteroseismic calibration of the Rossby number and its connection to the stellar dynamo and fundamental properties
The stellar Rossby number, a dimensionless parameter quantifying the influence of Coriolis forces on convective motions, plays a pivotal role in understanding magnetic stellar evolution. In this work, we explore the connection between the Rossby number and potential dynamo mechanisms in Sun-like stars, as well as its dependence on fundamental stellar properties. We present a novel, detailed asteroseismic calibration of the convective turnover time, incorporating for the first time Gaia photomet…

Adding All Flavors: A Hybrid Random Number Generator for dApps and Web3
Random numbers play a vital role in many decentralized applications (dApps), such as gaming and decentralized finance (DeFi) applications. Existing random number provision mechanisms can be roughly divided into two categories, on-chain, and off-chain. On-chain approaches usually rely on the blockchain as the major input and all computations are done by blockchain nodes. The major risk for this type of method is that the input itself is susceptible to the adversary's influence. Off-chain…

Improving Decision Trees through the Lens of Parameterized Local Search
Algorithms for learning decision trees often include heuristic local-search operations such as (1) adjusting the threshold of a cut or (2) also exchanging the feature of that cut. We study minimizing the number of classification errors by performing a fixed number of a single type of these operations. Although we discover that the corresponding problems are NP-complete in general, we provide a comprehensive parameterized-complexity analysis with the aim of determining those properties of the pr…

A note on the number of non-cycle components in a pseudo 2-factor of graphs
A pseudo 2-factor of a graph is a spanning subgraph such that each component is $K_1$, $K_2$, or a cycle. This notion was introduced by Bekkai and Kouider in 2009, where they showed that every graph $G$ has a pseudo 2-factor with at most $α(G)-δ(G)+1$ components that are not cycles. For a graph $G$ and a set of vertices $S$, let $δ_G(S)$ denote the minimum degree of vertices in $S$. In this note, we show that every graph $G$ has a pseudo 2-factor with at most $f(G)$ components that are not c…

A census of quiescent galaxies across $0.5 < z < 8$ with JWST/MIRI: Mass-dependent number density evolution of quiescent galaxies in the early Universe
JWST observations reveal numerous quiescent galaxies (QGs) at high redshift ($z \sim 4-8$), challenging models of early galaxy formation and quenching. Accurate number density estimates are crucial for comparison with theory but remain uncertain. We systematically study QGs at $0.5 < z < 8$ using a mass-complete sample from the JWST/PRIMER survey with deep NIRCam and MIRI imaging. The MIRI data, probing rest-frame near-infrared at $z \sim 3-8$, are vital for robust stellar mass measurement and …

Gravitational Wave Signatures from Lepton Number Breaking Phase Transitions with Flat Potentials
Extensions of the Standard Model typically contain ``flaton fields" defined as fields with large vacuum expectation values and almost flat potentials where scalar self-coupling is small or vanishes at tree level. Such potentials have been used to drive a secondary inflationary epoch after a primary phase of inflation, in what are called thermal inflation models. Although the primordial, high-scale inflationary epoch can solve the horizon and flatness problems, it does not always resolve difficu…

We study games with incomplete information and characterize when a feasible outcome is Pareto efficient. We show that any outcome with excessive randomization over actions is inefficient. Generically, efficiency requires that the total number of actions taken across states be strictly less than the sum of the number of players and states. We then examine the efficiency of equilibrium outcomes in communication models. Generically, a cheap talk outcome is efficient only if it is pure. When the se…

The only plausible explanation so far is that they have been produced through thermonuclear supernovae in white dwarf binaries. Since these stars are thought to be surviving donors of Type Ia supernovae, a surprising finding was that these stars are inflated, with radii an order of magnitude more than expected for Roche-lobe filling donors. Recent attempts at explaining them have co…

Structured Sparsity and Weight-adaptive Pruning for Memory and Compute efficient Whisper models
Whisper models have achieved remarkable progress in speech recognition; yet their large size remains a bottleneck for deployment on resource-constrained edge devices. This paper proposes a framework to design fine-tuned variants of Whisper which address the above problem. Structured sparsity is enforced via the Sparse Group LASSO penalty as a loss regularizer, to reduce the number of FLOating Point operations (FLOPs). Further, a weight statistics aware pruning algorithm is proposed. We also des…

Park Service orders changes to staff ratings, a move experts call illegal
A top National Park Service official has instructed park superintendents to limit the number of staff who get top marks in performance reviews
-- a move that experts say violates federal code and could make it easier to lay off staff.

Parks leadership generally evaluate individual employees annually on a five-point scale,
with a three rating given to those who are successful in achieving their go…

Park Service orders changes to staff ratings, a move experts call illegal
Lower performance ratings could be used as a factor in layoff decisions and will demoralize staff, advocates say.

A Variant of Wythoff's Game Defined by Hofstadter's G-Sequence
In this paper, we study a variant of the classical Wythoff's game. The classical form is played with two piles of stones, from which two players take turns to remove stones from one or both piles. When removing stones from both piles, an equal number must be removed from each. The player who removes the last stone or stones is the winner. Equivalently, we consider a single chess queen placed somewhere on a large grid of squares. Each player can move the queen toward the upper-left corner of the…

highschool: Illinois high school students (1958)
A network of friendships among male students in a small high school in Illinois from 1958. An arc points from student i to student j if i named j as a friend, in either of two identical surveys (from Fall and Spring semesters). Edge weights are the number of surveys in which the friendship was named.

Thousands of nurses are set to walk off the job at several of New York City’s largest hospitals on Monday,
staging a strike amid an intense flu season.
The action comes three years after a previous strike that compelled some of the same hospitals to move patients elsewhere and reroute ambulances.
Hospital operations are expected to be disrupted at a number of major private institutions,
including Mount Sinai in Manhattan, Montefiore medical center in the Bronx, and Ne…

On the $v$-adic values of G-functions II
This is the second in a series of papers by the author centered around the study of values of G-functions associated to $1$-parameter families of abelian varieties $f:\CX\rightarrow S$ and a point $s_0\in S(K)$ with smooth fiber over some number field $K$. Here we study the case where $f:\CX\rightarrow S$ is a family of elliptic curves. We construct relations among the values of G-functions in this setting at points whose fiber is a CM elliptic curve. These lead to bounds for the height of su…

On the Combinatorics of Pseudo-Latin Squares
We introduce a new class of combinatorial objects called consecutive pseudo-Latin squares (CPLSs), a variant of Latin squares in which at least one row or column is in consecutive or reverse-consecutive order, but every element may not appear in every row or column. We derive exact and asymptotic formulas for the number of CPLSs of order $n$, showing that their proportion among all pseudo-Latin squares (PLSs) rapidly approaches zero as $n\to\infty$. We also analyze the distribution of CPLSs und…

On the generalized Fermat equation $x^{13} + y^{13} = z^n$
Let $n \in \mathbb{Z}_{\geq 2}$. We study the generalized Fermat equation \[x^{13}+y^{13}=z^n, \quad x,y,z \in \mathbb{Z}, \quad \gcd(x,y,z)=1.\] Using a combination of techniques, including the modular method, classical descent, unit sieves, and Chabauty and Mordell--Weil sieve methods over number fields, we show that for $n=5$ all its solutions $(a,b,c)$ are trivial, i.e. satisfy $abc=0$. Under the assumption of GRH, we also show that for $n=7$ there are only trivial solutions. Furthermore, w…
