MOCHA: Discovering Multi-Order Dynamic Causality in Temporal Point Processes
Discovering complex causal dependencies in temporal point processes (TPPs) is critical for modeling real-world event sequences. Existing methods typically rely on static or first-order causal structures, overlooking the multi-order and time-varying nature of causal relationships. In this paper, we propose MOCHA, a novel framework for discovering multi-order dynamic causality in TPPs. MOCHA characterizes multi-order influences as multi-hop causal paths over a latent time-evolving graph. To model…

Order of dynamical and control systems on maximal compact subgroups
In this paper, we characterize the dynamical orders of minimal Morse components and, partially, of control sets on maximal compact subgroups of a semisimple Lie group as an algebraic order similar to the Bruhat order of the Weyl group. We call this order the extended Bruhat order of the extended Weyl group (or Weyl-Tits group), since it projects onto the Bruhat order and is obtained in an analogous way as the Bruhat order was historically obtained, as the incidence order of the Schubert cells i…

Order in Partial Markov Categories
Partial Markov categories are a recent framework for categorical probability theory, providing an abstract account of partial probabilistic computation. In this article, we discuss two order relations on the morphisms of a partial Markov category. In particular, we prove that every partial Markov category is canonically enriched over the category of preordered sets and monotone maps. We show that our construction recovers several well-known order enrichments. We also demonstrate that the existe…

The thing is, deportation by definition is the action of expelling someone from a country. I wonder why his Garcia’s lawyer won’t argue on the basis of this. You can’t deport someone to a country where he has no relation with. He would literally need permission to enter a third country. Why wouldn’t he deport him to France or Germany or the Netherlands for example?

We investigate the nucleon's chiral-odd generalized parton distribution functions (GPDs) in the large-$N_c$ limit of QCD. Extending previous work on the leading-order contribution in the $1/N_c$ expansion, we focus on the next-to-leading-order contributions and provide a complete set of flavor-singlet and flavor-non-singlet chiral-odd GPDs. This study includes the derivation of the spin-flavor structure of the baryon matrix element of the chiral-odd operator, the proof of the polynomiality prop…

Reduced-order modeling of large-scale turbulence using Koopman $β$-variational autoencoders
Reduced-order models (ROM) are very popular for surrogate modeling of full-order computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations, allowing for real-time approximation of complex flow phenomena. However, their application to CFD models including large eddy simulation (LES) and direct numerical simulaton (DNS) is limited due to the highly chaotic and multi-scale nature of resolved turbulent flow. Due to the large amounts of noise present in small-scale turbulent structures, error propagation becom…

Polynomial 2D Green Coordinates for High-order Cages
We propose conformal polynomial coordinates for 2D closed high-order cages, which consist of polynomial curves of any order. The coordinates enable the transformation of the input polynomial curves into polynomial curves of any order. We extend the classical 2D Green coordinates to define our coordinates, thereby leading to cage-aware conformal harmonic deformations. We extensively test our method on various 2D deformations, allowing users to manipulate the \Bezier control points to easily gene…

Applying short-time $X^{s,b}$ methods to improve classical energy estimates provides more than sufficient decay when considering estimates on the interior of the time interval $[0,T]$.

Flowcut Switching: High-Performance Adaptive Routing with In-Order Delivery Guarantees
Network latency severely impacts the performance of applications running on supercomputers. Adaptive routing algorithms route packets over different available paths to reduce latency and improve network utilization. However, if a switch routes packets belonging to the same network flow on different paths, they might arrive at the destination out-of-order due to differences in the latency of these paths. For some transport protocols like TCP, QUIC, and RoCE, out-of-order (OOO) packets might caus…

By exploiting the sparsity of the quadratic function, we establish a sufficient condition under which the convex hull of the feasible region of the linearized problem is SOC-representable.

Incommensurate magnetic order arising from frustrated interchain interactions in the spin-1/2 chain compound AgCuVO$_4$
Quantum spin chains with competing interactions offer a platform where low dimensionality and frustration--both acting to suppress magnetic order--intersect. We studied magnetic ordering in the spin-1/2 chain compound AgCuVO$_4$ using muon spin spectroscopy and neutron diffraction. Long-range magnetic order emerges at $T_N = 2.0(1)$ K, which is $\sim$1/200 of the dominant intrachain coupling $J$ and $\sim$1/15 of the interchain interactions.

After a long term efforts, the Hamiltonian problem of connected vertex-transitive graphs of order $pq$ (where $p$ and $q$ are primes) was finally finshed in 2021, see [10]. Fifteen years ago, mathematicians began to challenge this problem for graphs of order $2pq$. Among of them, it was proved in 2012 (see [21]) that every connected vertex-transitive graph of order $10p$ (where $p\neq7$ is a prime) contains a Hamilton path, with the exception of a family of graphs which was recently confirmed i…

The gauge theory dual of the bilayer XY model with second order Josephson coupling

The model may represent a bilayer superconductor or a spin-1 ferromagnetic Bose gas in the easy-plane limit. The second order Josephson term is mapped to a U(1) gauge field, known to be trivially confining in two dimensions, and we argue that a Coulomb-gas analysis is not applicable to the dual theory.

We compare C2(omega) to the previously studied inner model C(aa). We argue that C2(omega) appears to be a much bigger inner model than C(aa), although this cannot be literally true in ZFC alone. However, we conjecture that it follows from large cardinal assumptions. For example, assuming large cardinals, C2(omega) contains, for every n, an…

Test case prioritization focuses on finding a suitable order of execution of the test cases in a test suite to meet some performance goals like detecting faults early. It is likely that some test cases execute the program parts that are more prone to errors and will detect more errors if executed early during the testing process. Finding an optimal order of execution for the selected regression test cases saves time and cost of retesting. This paper presents a static approach to prioritizing th…

Standard Kripke models are now considered $0$-ary models, whereas an $n$-ary model for $n > 0$ is a model whose set of objects (''possible worlds'') contains only $(n-1)$-ary Kripke models. Models with infinitely many layers are also considered. This framework is obtained by promoting a radical change of perspecti…

Via an in-depth preliminary analysis, we observe two important characteristics of high-order dynamics in real-world networks: high-order relations tend to (O1) have a structural and temporal influence on other relations in a short term and (O2) periodically re-appear in a long term.

Low-order finite element complex with application to a fourth-order elliptic singular perturbation problem
A low-order nonconforming finite element discretization of a smooth de Rham complex starting from the $H^2$ space in three dimensions is proposed, involving an $H^2$-nonconforming finite element space, a new tangentially continuous $H^1$-nonconforming vector-valued finite element space, the lowest-order Raviart-Thomas space, and piecewise constant functions. While nonconforming for the smooth complex, the discretization conforms to the classical de Rham complex. It is applied to develop a decou…

A Clockwork Quantum: Symmetry, Noise, and the Emergence of Quantum Order
We present a concise review and perspective on noise-induced synchronization and coherence protection in open quantum systems, with emphasis on recent work involving coupled spins, oscillators, and anyons. When local environments exhibit internal correlations, the structure of the noise determines which collective modes become decoherence-protected. This leads to steady-state entanglement, phase locking, and exceptional points (EPs) in the Liouvillian spectrum, signaling a collapse of the mode …

Higher-order homogenization for equations of linearized elasticity using the operator-asymptotic approach
The operator-asymptotic approach was introduced by Lim-Žubrinić in [Asymptotic Analysis. 141(4), p. 211-256 (2025)] for the homogenization of an $\varepsilon\mathbb{Z}^d$-periodic composite media. In this article, we consider the setting of three-dimensional linearized elasticity, and extend the approach to obtain higher-order convergence rates. In particular, we consider the so-called ``Bloch approximation'' for vector-valued functions with compact Fourier support, and demonstrate that under…

Higher-order Stirling cycle and subset triangles: Total positivity, continued fractions and real-rootedness
Given a lower-triangular matrix of real numbers, one can ask the following four total-positivity questions: total positivity of the triangle itself; total positivity of its row-reversal; Toeplitz-total positivity of its row sequences (equivalent to negative-real-rootedness of the row-generating polynomials); and coefficientwise Hankel-total positivity of the sequence of row-generating polynomials. In this paper, we introduce two infinite families of lower-triangular matrices generalising the St…

First-Order LTLf Synthesis with Lookback (Extended Version)
Reactive synthesis addresses the problem of generating a controller for a temporal specification in an adversarial environment; it was typically studied for LTL. Driven by applications ranging from AI to business process management, LTL modulo first order-theories over finite traces (LTLfMT) has recently gained traction, where propositional variables in properties are replaced by first-order constraints. Though reactive synthesis for LTLf with some first-order features has been addressed, exist…

Interpolation in model theory
We bring an abstract model theory perspective to interpolation. We ask, what is the role of interpolation in the study of extensions of first order logic, such as infinitary logics, generalized quantifiers and higher order logics? The abstract model theory approach reveals the basic connections between various interpolation properties in isolation, on their own, as well as with respect to other model theoretic properties, such as compactness.

A Third-Order Relativistic Algebraic Diagrammatic Construction Method for Double Ionization Potentials: Theory, Implementation, and Benchmark
We present a relativistic third-order algebraic diagrammatic construction (ADC(3)) approach for calculating double ionization potentials (DIPs). By employing the exact two-component atomic mean-field (X2CAMF) Hamiltonian in combination with a Cholesky decomposition (CD) representation of two-electron integrals and the frozen natural spinor (FNS) framework for virtual space truncation, we achieve a significant reduction in both memory requirements and computational cost. The DIPs obtained using …

We study the Gross-Neveu-Yukawa field theory for the SO($N$) symmetric traceless rank-two tensor order parameter coupled to Majorana fermions using the $ε$-expansion around upper critical dimensions of $3+1$ to two loops. Previously we established in the one-loop calculation that the theory does not exhibit a critical fixed point for $N \geq 4$, but that nevertheless the stable fixed point inevitably emerges at a large number of fermion flavors $N_f$. For $N_f < N_{f,c1} \approx N/2$, no criti…

Hiord: An Approach to the Specification and Verification of Higher-Order (C)LP Programs
Higher-order constructs enable more expressive and concise code by allowing procedures to be parameterized by other procedures. Assertions allow expressing partial program specifications, which can be verified either at compile time (statically) or run time (dynamically). In higher-order programs, assertions can also describe higher-order arguments. While in the context of (C)LP, run-time verification of higher-order assertions has received some attention, compile-time verification remains rela…

Gaussian estimates for fundamental solutions of higher-order parabolic equations with time-independent coefficients
We study the De Giorgi-Moser-Nash estimates of higher-order parabolic equations in divergence form with complex-valued, measurable, bounded, uniformly elliptic (in the sense of G$\mathring{a}$rding inequality) and time-independent coefficients. We also obtain Gaussian upper bounds and Hölder regularity estimates for the fundamental solutions of this class of parabolic equations.

Symmetry-reduced model reduction of shift-equivariant systems via operator inference
We consider data-driven reduced-order models of partial differential equations with shift equivariance. Shift-equivariant systems typically admit traveling solutions, and the main idea of our approach is to represent the solution in a traveling reference frame, in which it can be described by a relatively small number of basis functions. Existing methods for operator inference allow one to approximate a reduced-order model directly from data, without knowledge of the full-order dynamics. Our me…

New upper bounds on the order of mixed cages of girth 6
A $[z,r;g]$-mixed cage is a mixed graph of minimum order such that each vertex has $z$ in-arcs, $z$ out-arcs, $r$ edges, and it has girth $g$, and the minimum order for $[z,r;g]$-mixed graphs is denoted by $n[z,r;g]$. In this paper, we present an infinite family of mixed graphs with girth $6$, that improves, in some cases, the families that we give in G. Araujo-Pardo and L. Mendoza-Cadena. \textit{On Mixed Cages of girth 6}, arXiv:2401.14768v2. In particular, if $q$ is an even prime power w…

Linear and Second-order-cone Valid Inequalities for Problems with Storage
Batteries are playing an increasingly central role as distributed energy resources in the shift toward power systems dominated by renewable energy sources. However, existing battery models must invariably rely on complementarity constraints to prevent simultaneous charging and discharging, rendering models of a disjunctive nature and NP-hard. In this paper, we analyze the disjunctive structure of the battery's feasible operational set and uncover a submodularity property in its extreme power tr…

Quantum Higher Order Fourier Analysis and the Clifford Hierarchy
We propose a mathematical framework that we call quantum, higher-order Fourier analysis. This generalizes the classical theory of higher-order Fourier analysis, which led to many advances in number theory and combinatorics. We define a family of quantum measures on a Hilbert space, that reduce in the case of diagonal matrices to the classical uniformity norms. We show that our quantum measures and our related theory of quantum higher-order Fourier analysis characterize the Clifford hierarchy, a…

Solving Mean-Field Games with Monotonicity Methods in Banach Spaces?
This paper develops a unified framework for proving the existence of solutions to stationary first-order mean-field games (MFGs) based on the theory of monotone operators in Banach spaces. We cast the coupled MFG system as a variational inequality, overcoming the limitations of prior Hilbert-space approaches that relied on high-order regularization and typically yielded only weak solutions in the monotone operator sense. In contrast, with our low-order regularization, we obtain strong solutions…

Stabilization of Parabolic Time-Varying PDEs using Certified Reduced-Order Receding Horizon Control
We address the stabilization of linear, time-varying parabolic PDEs using finite-dimensional receding horizon controls (RHCs) derived from reduced-order models (ROMs). We first prove exponential stability and suboptimality of the continuous-time full-order model (FOM) RHC scheme in Hilbert spaces. A Galerkin model reduction is then introduced, along with a rigorous a posteriori error analysis for the associated finite-horizon optimal control problems. This results in a ROM-based RHC algorithm t…

Focusing on the third-order LEPs, we analyze the damping of the system state in the long term analytically and numerically. In addition, we analyze the damping of heat currents and the influence…
