On the "second" Kahn--Kalai Conjecture
We make progress on a conjecture of Kahn and Kalai, the original (stronger but less general) version of what became known as the ``Kahn-Kalai Conjecture" (KKC; now a theorem of Park and Pham). This ``second" KKC concerns the threshold, $p_c(H)$, for $G_{n,p}$ to contain a copy of a given graph $H$, predicting $p_c(H) = O(p_{\mathbb E}(H)\log n)$, where $p_{\mathbb E}$ is an easy lower bound on $p_c$. What we actually show is $p_{\mathbb E}^*(H)=O(p_{\mathbb E}(H)\log ^2n)$, where $p_{\mathbb E}…

Evaluating Particle Filtering for RSS-Based Target Localization under Varying Noise Levels and Sensor Geometries
Target localization is a critical task in various applications, such as search and rescue, surveillance, and wireless sensor networks. When a target emits a radio frequency (RF) signal, spatially distributed sensors can collect signal measurements to estimate the target's location. Among various measurement modalities, received signal strength (RSS) is particularly attractive due to its low cost, low power consumption, and ease of deployment. While particle filtering has previously been applied…

Mitigating Cross-Image Information Leakage in LVLMs for Multi-Image Tasks
Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) demonstrate strong performance on single-image tasks. However, we observe that their performance degrades significantly when handling multi-image inputs. This occurs because visual cues from different images become entangled in the model's output. We refer to this phenomenon as cross-image information leakage. To address this issue, we propose FOCUS, a training-free and architecture-agnostic decoding strategy that mitigates cross-image information leakage du…

Chiral quantum magnets with spin-states separated by a large energy gap are technologically attractive but difficult to realize. Geometrically frustrated topological states with nanoscale chirality may offer a chemical pathway to such materials. However, room temperature spin misalignment, weakness of Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions, and high energy requirements for lattice distortions set high physicochemical barriers for their realization. Here, we show that layered iron oxyhydroxides (LIO…

The characterization of positive, non-CP linear maps is a central problem in operator algebras and quantum information theory, where such maps serve as entanglement witnesses. This work introduces and systematically studies a new convex cone of PCOP (pairwise copositive). We establish that this cone is dual to the cone of PCP (pairwise completely positive) and, critically, provides a complete characterization for the positivity of the broad class of covariant maps. We provide a way to lift matr…

Cyber Risks to Next-Gen Brain-Computer Interfaces: Analysis and Recommendations
Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) show enormous potential for advancing personalized medicine. However, BCIs also introduce new avenues for cyber-attacks or security compromises. In this article, we analyze the problem and make recommendations for device manufacturers to better secure devices and to help regulators understand where more guidance is needed to protect patient safety and data confidentiality. Device manufacturers should implement the prior suggestions in their BCI products. These r…
