O-Forge: An LLM + Computer Algebra Framework for Asymptotic Analysis
Large language models have recently demonstrated advanced capabilities in solving IMO and Putnam problems; yet their role in research mathematics has remained fairly limited. The key difficulty is verification: suggested proofs may look plausible, but cannot be trusted without rigorous checking. We present a framework, called LLM+CAS, and an associated tool, O-Forge, that couples frontier LLMs with a computer algebra systems (CAS) in an In-Context Symbolic Feedback loop to produce proofs that a…

Agent-Based Simulation of a Financial Market with Large Language Models
In real-world stock markets, certain chart patterns -- such as price declines near historical highs -- cannot be fully explained by fundamentals alone. These phenomena suggest the presence of path dependence in price formation, where investor decisions are influenced not only by current market conditions but also by the trajectory of prices leading up to the present. Path dependence has drawn attention in behavioral finance as a key mechanism behind such anomalies. One plausible driver of path …

Snufkin is often seen as a free spirit who values personal freedom and dislikes material possessions or hierarchical control. He is a carefree, anti-establishment character who despises private property and the trappings of capitalism, as evidenced by his habit of tearing down "private property" signs.
He embodies a philosophy of simplicity, independence, and living in harmony with nature, making him appear anti-hierarchical and anti-capitalist in spirit. This aligns with hi…

How liveable are London's 15-minute neighbourhoods? Exploring liveability profiles and active travel patterns in London
Healthy and liveable neighbourhoods have increasingly been recognised as essential components of sustainable urban development. Yet, ambiguity surrounding their definition and constituent elements presents challenges in understanding and evaluating neighbourhood profiles, highlighting the need for a more detailed and systematic assessment. This research develops a composite Liveability Index for Greater London based on metrics related to the proximity, density, and diversity of POIs, along with…

Three people have changed the way I see the world in ways I can never undo: Karl Marx, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Rudolf Rocker.
Each of them, through their own political and philosophical struggles, stripped away the false comforts I once clung to. They exposed the machinery of power, the illusions of morality, and the myths of authority, leaving me face to face with the bare truth of how the world works.
Coming to that realization, one that cannot be undone, life appears more viv…
