Some remarks on decay in countable groups and amalgamated free products
In this note, we first study the notion of subexponential decay (SD) for countable groups with respect to a length function, which generalizes the well-known rapid decay (RD) property, first discovered by Haagerup in 1979. Several natural properties and examples are studied, especially including groups that have SD, but not RD. This consideration naturally has applications in $C^*$-algebras. We also consider in this setting a permanence theorem for decay in amalgamated free products (proved als…

Unsupervised Integrated-Circuit Defect Segmentation via Image-Intrinsic Normality
Modern Integrated-Circuit(IC) manufacturing introduces diverse, fine-grained defects that depress yield and reliability. Most industrial defect segmentation compares a test image against an external normal set, a strategy that is brittle for IC imagery where layouts vary across products and accurate alignment is difficult. We observe that defects are predominantly local, while each image still contains rich, repeatable normal patterns. We therefore propose an unsupervised IC defect segmentation…

LLP: LLM-based Product Pricing in E-commerce
Unlike Business-to-Consumer e-commerce platforms (e.g., Amazon), inexperienced individual sellers on Consumer-to-Consumer platforms (e.g., eBay) often face significant challenges in setting prices for their second-hand products efficiently.

On fibred products of toposes
In the setting of relative topos theory, we show that the pullback of a relative presheaf topos on an arbitrary fibration is the relative presheaf topos on its inverse image. To this end, we develop and exploit a notion of extension with base change of a morphism of sites along the canonical functor. This provides a tool to compare the canonical relative site of the direct (resp. inverse) image with the direct (resp. inverse) image of the canonical relative site: although these operations do no…

On the spectrum of the symmetric tensor products of certain Hilbert-space operators
This paper primarily investigates spectral properties of symmetric tensor products of Hilbert-space operators. For a unilateral weighted shift operator $S_w$, we present an algorithm to compute the point spectrum of its symmetric and antisymmetric tensor products with the adjoint $S_w^*$. Additionally, we analyze the symmetric tensor product of an injective unilateral weighted shift $S_α$ and a diagonal operator $M$ on $l^2$, demonstrating that its point spectrum must be contained in $\{0\}$.

Gravitational Hilbert spaces: invariant and co-invariant states, inner products, gauge-fixing, and BRST
Hilbert spaces in theories of gravity are notoriously subtle due to the Hamiltonian constraints, particularly regarding the inner product. To demystify this subject, we review and extend a collection of ideas in canonical gravity, and connect to the sum-over-histories approach by clarifying the Hilbert space interpretation of various gravitational path integrals. We use one-dimensional (or mini-superspace) models as the simplest context to exemplify the conceptual ideas. We emphasise that a phy…

An open problem posed by Gaboriau is whether the product of any two infinite countable groups has fixed price one. We provide an affirmative answer if the two groups are finitely generated and their growths satisfy a specific condition. The proof uses the propagation method to construct a Poisson horoball process as a weak factor of i.i.d., where each horoball is equipped with a marking that depends only on the first coordinate, in an i.i.d. manner. Then, a low-cost graphing of this process is …

Motivated by the study of decompositions of tensors as Hadamard products (i.e., coefficient-wise products) of low-rank tensors, we introduce the notion of Hadamard rank of a given point with respect to a projective variety: if it exists, it is the smallest number of points in the variety such that the given point is equal to their Hadamard product. We prove that if the variety $X$ is not contained in a coordinate hyperplane or a binomial hypersurface, then the generic point has a finite $X$-Had…

Analyzing the capabilities of HLS and RTL tools in the design of an FPGA Montgomery Multiplier
We present the analysis of various FPGA design implementations of a Montgomery Modular Multiplier, compatible with the BLS12-381 elliptic curve, using the Coarsely Integrated Operand Scanning approach of working with complete partial products on different digit sizes. The scope of the implemented designs is to achieve a high-frequency, high-throughput solution capable of computing millions of operations per second, which can provide a strong foundation for different Elliptic Curve Cryptography …
