Manchester’s Local Plan – responding to the consultation
Local Plans are what guide the pattern of a land use and and building across a council area.  In the case of Greater Manchester (excluding Stockport), the Joint Strategic Plan, Places for Everyone sets the scene, as does the government's National Planning Policy Framework.  That means that there are some very real constraints on what can be put into a so-called Local Plan (not very local - in the case of…

U.S. senators announced plans on Friday to force a vote on a resolution
to prevent military action against Venezuela without congressional authorization,
seeking to rein in Donald Trump's escalation of pressure on President Nicolas Maduro's government.
Senator Tim Kaine of Virginia, who is sponsoring the war powers resolution with fellow Democrat Adam Schiff of California and Republican Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky,
said he was responding to the repeated U.S…

Calibrated submanifolds with flat normal bundles

Calibrated submanifolds with flat normal bundles
We show that submanifolds of Euclidean space which are calibrated by a constant-coefficient differential form and have flat normal bundles are planes. In fact, in a Riemannian manifold equipped with a parallel calibration, a calibrated submanifold subject to the condition that all shape operators commute is totally geodesic.

A HyperFlash and ÈCLAT view of the local environment and energetics of the repeating FRB 20240619D
Time-variable propagation effects provide a window into the local plasma environments of repeating fast radio burst (FRB) sources. Here we report high-cadence observations of FRB 20240619D, as part of the HyperFlash and ÉCLAT programs. We observed for $500$h and detected $217$ bursts, including $10$ bursts with high fluence ($>25$ Jy ms) and implied energy. We track burst-to-burst variations in dispersion measure (DM) and rotation measure (RM), from which we constrain the parallel magnetic fie…

Non-Euclidean Crystallographic Rigidity
This paper establishes combinatorial characterisations of forced-symmetric and forced-periodic rigidity (under a fixed lattice) of bar-joint frameworks in non-Euclidean normed planes. In $\ell_q$-planes for $q\in(1,\infty)\backslash\{2\}$, we prove characterisations for periodic rigidity and finite reflectionally-symmetric rigidity. We also characterise symmetric rigidity in this space with respect to the orientation-reversing wallpaper group $\mathbb{Z}^2\rtimes\mathcal{C}_s$, otherwise known …

The White House has seized on two unrelated incidents of street crime
as a pretext for a federal government power grab
at a time when violent crime has in fact dropped across the country.
The attempted carjacking of Edward “Big Balls” Coristine in Washington DC
and a street brawl in Cincinnati
are the latest cause célebrè on the American right,
which has long supported Donald Trump’s plans for military and law enforcement crackdowns in largely Democratic c…

Crime is down. But Trump's authoritarian power grabs are escalating.
Random street crimes are being used as pretexts for repression.

Curves with increasing chords in normed planes

Curves with increasing chords in normed planes
A curve has the increasing chord property if for any points $a,b,c,d$ in this order on the curve, the distance of $a,d$ is not smaller than that of $b,c$. Answering a conjecture of Larman and McMullen, Rote proved in 1994 that the arclength of a curve in the Euclidean plane with the increasing chord property is at most $\frac{2π}{3}$ times the distance of its endpoints, and this inequality is sharp. In this note we generalize the result of Rote for curves in a normed plane with a strictly conv…
