Through mid-October, IHS had published far fewer posts on Facebook promoting vaccine clinics this year than last.
And in those posts as well as other notices, it replaced language touting immunization’s benefits
with wording that frames both routine childhood vaccinations and annual flu and COVID-19 shots as a personal choice,
advising patients to consult health care providers about their “options regarding vaccines.”
Current and former IHS clinicians told ProPublica…

Asymptotically rigid mapping class groups III: Presentations and isomorphisms
This article is dedicated to the computation of an explicit presentation of some asymptotically rigid mapping class groups, namely the braided Higman-Thompson groups. To do so, we use the action of these groups on the spine complex, a simply connected cube complex constructed by the authors in a previous work. In particular, this allows to compute the abelianisations of these groups. With these new algebraic invariants we can handle many new cases of the isomorphism problem for asymptotically r…

93% of submissions to the BC Democratic and Electoral Reform Committee committee called for proportional representation.
This summer, the committee conducted public hearings across the province, inviting presentations and written submissions from individuals and groups.

In Colorado, students taunted their Black classmates by playing whipping sounds on their cellphones and saying they should be shot “to make us a better race.”
The only two Black students in a small district in Ohio were called the N-word by white peers starting on their first day.

Monkey Sounds, “White Power” and the N-Word: Racial Harassment Against Black Students Ignored Under Trump

$L$-functions of elliptic curves in ring class extensions of real quadratic fields via regularized theta liftings

$L$-functions of elliptic curves in ring class extensions of real quadratic fields via regularized theta liftings
We derive new integral presentations for central derivative values of $L$-functions of elliptic curves defined over the rationals, basechanged to a real quadratic field $K$, twisted by ring class characters of $K$ in terms of sums along ``geodesics" corresponding to the class group of $K$ of automorphic Green's functions for certain Hirzebruch-Zagier-like arithmetic divisors on Hilbert modular surfaces. We also relate these sums to Birch-Swinnerton-Dyer constants and periods.

Generic Hecke algebras in the infinite
Aiming for a revival of the theory of crystallographic complex reflection groups, we compute (minimal) Coxeter-like reflection presentations for the infinite families of those non-genuine groups which satisfy Steinberg's fixed point theorem. These new presentations behave à la Coxeter, encoding many of the group's properties at a glance, and their signature feature -- named the $x$-relation -- is fully understood in terms of configuration spaces. Crucially, the presentations further achieve th…

On the Orthogonal Projections
For any ${\rm E}$-rigid presentation $e$, we construct an orthogonal projection functor to ${\rm rep}(e^\perp)$ left adjoint to the natural embedding. We establish a bijection between presentations in ${\rm rep}(e^\perp)$ and presentations compatible with $e$. For quivers with potentials, we show that ${\rm rep}(e^\perp)$ forms a module category of another quiver with potential. We derive mutation formulas for the $δ$-vectors of positive and negative complements and the dimension vectors of si…

The Average Patient Fallacy
Machine learning in medicine is typically optimized for population averages. This frequency weighted training privileges common presentations and marginalizes rare yet clinically critical cases, a bias we call the average patient fallacy. In mixture models, gradients from rare cases are suppressed by prevalence, creating a direct conflict with precision medicine. Clinical vignettes in oncology, cardiology, and ophthalmology show how this yields missed rare responders, delayed recognition of aty…

Demystifying Codensity Monads via Duality
Codensity monads provide a universal method to generate complex monads from simple functors. Recently, a wide range of important monads in logic, denotational semantics, and probabilistic computation, such as several incarnations of the ultrafilter monad, the Vietoris monad, and the Giry monad, have been presented as codensity monads, using complex arguments. We propose a unifying categorical approach to codensity presentations of monads, based on the idea of relating the presenting functor to …

Coproducts for affine super-Yangian and Weyl groupoid action
For affine special linear superalgebra $\widehat{sl}(m|n, Π)$ defined by an arbitrary system of simple roots $Π$ we define the affine super Yangian $Y_{\hbar}(\widehat{sl}(m|n, Π))$ as Hopf superalgebra which is a quantization of superbialgebra $\widehat{sl}(m|n, Π)[t]$ and describe super Yangian in terms of minimalistic system of generators. We consider Drinfeld presentation for $Y^D_{\hbar}(\widehat{sl}(m|n, Π))$ and prove that these two presentations are isomorphic a…

The Chow ring of a sequence of point and rational curve blow-ups
Given a sequence of point and rational curve blow-ups blow-ups of smooth $3-$dimensional projective varieties $Z_{i}$ defined over an algebraically closed field $\mathit{k}$, $Z_{s}\xrightarrow{π_{s}} Z_{s-1}\xrightarrow{π_{s-1}}\cdot\cdot\cdot\xrightarrow{π_{2}} Z_{1}\xrightarrow{π_{1}} Z_{0}$, with $Z_{0}\cong\mathbb{P}^{3}$, we give an explicit presentations of the Chow ring $A^{\bullet}(Z_{s})$ of its sky. We prove that, in contrast to the case of sequences of point blow-ups, the skies …

Maximal $2$-extensions of Pythagorean fields and Right Angled Artin Groups
In this paper, we describe minimal presentations of maximal pro-$2$ quotients of absolute Galois groups of formally real Pythagorean fields of finite type. For this purpose, we introduce a new class of pro-$2$ groups: $Δ$-Right Angled Artin groups. We show that maximal pro-$2$ quotients of absolute Galois groups of formally real Pythagorean fields of finite type are $Δ$-Right Angled Artin groups. Conversely, let us assume that a maximal pro-$2$ quotient of an absolute Galois group is a $Δ$…

New constructions of free products and geodetic Cayley graphs
We introduce a systematic method for constructing new presentations of free products that give rise to previously unknown geodetic Cayley graphs. Our approach adapts subdivision techniques of Parthasarathy and Srinivasan [J. Combin. Theory Ser. B, 1982], which preserve geodecity at the graph level, to the setting of group presentations and rewriting systems. Specifically, given a group $G$ with geodetic Cayley graph with respect to generating set $Σ$ and an integer $n$, our construction produc…
