Analytic Theory on the Space of Blaschke Products: Simultaneous Uniformization and Pressure Metric
In this paper, we study complex analytic aspects of the moduli space $\Bcal_d^{fm}$ of degree $d\ge2$ fixed-point-marked Blaschke products. We define a complex structure on $\Bcal_d^{fm}$ and prove the simultaneous uniformization theorem for fixed-point-marked quasi-Blaschke products. As an application, we show that the pressure semi-norms on the space of Blaschke products are non-degenerate outside of the super-attracting locus $\mathcal{SA}^{fm}_d$, which is a codimension-1 subspace of $\Bcal…

Massey products for homotopy inner products
This paper defines Massey-type products for a homotopy inner product on an $A_\infty$ algebra, called Massey inner products. We include an explicit description of ordinary Massey products for $A_\infty$ algebras, and for $A_\infty$ modules, and show that Massey product sets can have interesting internal structure. We give non-trivial applications from lens spaces, links, and low dimensional manifolds, showing Massey inner products contain information beyond ordinary Massey products.

Raise Awareness of the Environmental Impacts of Retail Food Products: A User-Centered Scenario-Based Approach
The climate is warming rapidly, and atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHGs) are at their highest levels ever recorded. As a result of these climate changes, caused mainly by human activities, disasters have increased fivefold over the past 50 years, causing death and economic loss. Civic engagement and awareness are essential to mitigate climate change and its impacts. In this work, we proposed a user interface that makes users aware of the environmental impact of the food product…

Isolation number: Cartesian and lexicographic products and generalized Sierpiński graphs
The isolation number $ι(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the minimum cardinality of a set $A\subset V(G)$ such that the subgraph induced by the vertices that are not in the union of the closed neighborhoods of vertices in $A$ has no edges. The invariant, known also under the name vertex-edge domination number of $G$, has attracted a lot of interest in recent years. In this paper, we study the behavior of the isolation number under several graph operations, namely the Cartesian and the lexicographic produ…

In this paper, necessary and sufficient conditions for the self-orthogonality of t-generator quasi-cyclic (QC) codes are presented under the Euclidean, Hermitian, and symplectic inner products, respectively. Particularly, by studying the structure of the dual codes of a class of 2-generator QC codes, we derive necessary and sufficient conditions for the QC codes to be dual-containing under the above three inner products. This class of 2-generator QC codes generalizes many known codes in the lit…

Sign-patterns of Certain Infinite Products
The signs of Fourier coefficients of certain eta quotients are determined by dissecting expansions for theta functions and by applying a general dissection formula for certain classes of quintuple products. A characterization is given for the coefficient sign patterns for \[ \frac{(q^i;q^i)_{\infty}}{(q^p;q^p)_{\infty}} \] for integers \( i > 1 \) and primes \( p > 3 \). The sign analysis for this quotient addresses and extends a conjecture of Bringmann et al. for the coefficients of \( (q^2;q^…

Linearithmic Clean-up for Vector-Symbolic Key-Value Memory with Kroneker Rotation Products
A computational bottleneck in current Vector-Symbolic Architectures (VSAs) is the ``clean-up'' step, which decodes the noisy vectors retrieved from the architecture. Clean-up typically compares noisy vectors against a ``codebook'' of prototype vectors, incurring computational complexity that is quadratic or similar. We present a new codebook representation that supports efficient clean-up, based on Kroneker products of rotation-like matrices. The resulting clean-up time complexity is linearithm…

Adaptive Inventory Strategies using Deep Reinforcement Learning for Dynamic Agri-Food Supply Chains
Agricultural products are often subject to seasonal fluctuations in production and demand. Predicting and managing inventory levels in response to these variations can be challenging, leading to either excess inventory or stockouts. Additionally, the coordination among stakeholders at various level of food supply chain is not considered in the existing body of literature. To bridge these research gaps, this study focuses on inventory management of agri-food products under demand and lead time u…

In this paper we study the pricing and hedging of nonreplicable contingent claims, such as long-term insurance contracts like variable annuities. Our approach is based on the benchmark-neutral pricing framework of Platen (2024), which differs from the classical benchmark approach by using the stock growth optimal portfolio as the numéraire. In typical settings, this choice leads to an equivalent martingale measure, the benchmark-neutral measure. The resulting prices can be significantly lower …

Characterizing quantum resourcefulness via group-Fourier decompositions
In this work we present a general framework for studying the resourcefulness in pure states for quantum resource theories (QRTs) whose free operations arise from the unitary representation of a group. We argue that the group Fourier decompositions (GFDs) of a state, i.e., its projection onto the irreducible representations (irreps) of the Hilbert space, operator space, and tensor products thereof, constitute fingerprints of resourcefulness and complexity. By focusing on the norm of the irrep pr…

We also describe when two relative symmetric powers of projective bundles over projective spaces are isomorphic. Finally, we describe the automorphisms of multiprojective bundles and relative symmetric powers of projective bundles over projective spaces.

Because soil N has high spatial and temporal variability, it is desirable to accurately estimate the N concentration of grapevine leaves and manage fertilization at the individual plant level to optimally meet plant needs. In this study, we used in-field hyperspectral images with wavelengths ranging from $400 to 1000nm of four different grapevine cultivars colle…

We develop a parametrix approach for constructing solutions and establishing grid-size independent estimates for semi-discrete heat equations with variable coefficients. While the classical continuous setting benefits from Gaussian estimates of the constant coefficient heat kernel, such estimates are not available in the semi-discrete context. To address this complication, we derive estimates involving products of heavy-tailed Lorentz (also known as Cauchy) probability densities. These Lorentzi…

NaxAlB14 with a non-stoichiometric Na composition is thermodynamically metastable, and conventional solid-state reactions with adjusted starting compositions typically result in the formation of stoichiometric NaAlB14 and side products.

Normal and Dynamical Typicality in a Random Matrix Model
We prove normal typicality and dynamical typicality for a (centered) random block-band matrix model with block-dependent variances. A key feature of our model is that we achieve intermediate equilibration times, an aspect that has not been proven rigorously in any model before. Our proof builds on recently established concentration estimates for products of resolvents of Wigner type random matrices [arXiv:2403.10359] and an intricate analysis of the deterministic approximation.

In particular, we discuss the appearance of i) transient plateaus: arbitrarily long-lived sums of quasinormal mode…

We consider topological dynamical systems given by skew products $S\rtimes_τ T$, where $S\colon Y\to Y$ is a subshift, $τ\colon Y\to\mathbb{Z}$ is a continuous cocycle, and $T$ is an arbitrary invertible topological system. For fixed $(Y,S,τ)$ it may happen that all systems of the form $S\rtimes_τT$ have the same topological entropy, and thus it arises the problem of distinguishing two such systems. We show that if $T_1$ and $T_2$ are invertible topological dynamical systems with differen…

Determinant for automorphisms of semidirect product of groups
A description of the endomorphisms of semidirect products of two groups as a group of $2\times 2$ matrices of maps is already known. Using this description, we have studied the concept of determinant for the endomorphisms of semidirect product of two groups. A characterization of the invertible endomorphisms is given with the help of the tools developed using the determinants.

Galois equiangular tight frames from Galois self-dual codes
Greaves et al. (2022) extended frames over real or complex numbers to frames over finite fields. In this paper, we study the theory of frames over finite fields by incorporating the Galois inner products introduced by Fan and Zhang (2017), which generalize the Euclidean and Hermitian inner products. We define a class of frames, called Galois frames over finite fields, along with related notions such as Galois Gram matrices, Galois frame operators, and Galois equiangular tight frames (Galois ETF…

No-go theorems for logical gates on product quantum codes
Quantum error-correcting codes are essential to the implementation of fault-tolerant quantum computation. Homological products of classical codes offer a versatile framework for constructing quantum error-correcting codes with desirable properties, especially quantum low-density parity check (qLDPC) codes. Based on extensions of the Bravyi--König theorem that encompass codes without geometric locality, we establish a series of general no-go theorems for fault-tolerant logical gates supported b…

Universal quaternary mixed sums involving generalized 3-, 4-, 5- and 8-gonal numbers via products of Ramanujan's theta functions

Universal quaternary mixed sums involving generalized 3-, 4-, 5- and 8-gonal numbers via products of Ramanujan's theta functions
Generalized $m$-gonal numbers are those $p_m(x)= [ (m - 2)x^2 - (m - 4)x ]/2 $ where $x$ and $m$ are integers with $m \geq 3$. If any nonnegative integer can be written in the form $ap_r(h)+bp_s(l)+cp_t(m)+dp_u(n)$, where $a,b,c,d$ are positive integers, then we call $ap_r(h)+bp_s(l)+cp_t(m)+dp_u(n)$ a universal quaternary sum. In this paper, we determine the universality of many quaternary sums when $r,s,t,u \in \{3,4,5,8\}$, using the theory of Ramanujan's theta function identities

The magic of tensor products of ultrafilters
Tensor products of ultrafilters have special combinatorial features closely related to Ramsey's Theorem, making them useful tools in applications. Here we first review their fundamental properties and isolate some new ones, including a characterisation of the limit superior and inferior of sequences as limits along tensor products, and an application to the Banach asymptotic density. We then prove a general result on the combinatorial structure of sets belonging to tensor products and, as a res…

"I Cannot Write This Because It Violates Our Content Policy": Understanding Content Moderation Policies and User Experiences in Generative AI Products
While recent research has focused on developing safeguards for generative AI (GAI) model-level content safety, little is known about how content moderation to prevent malicious content performs for end-users in real-world GAI products. To bridge this gap, we investigated content moderation policies and their enforcement in GAI online tools -- consumer-facing web-based GAI applications. We first analyzed content moderation policies of 14 GAI online tools. While these policies are comprehensive i…

Lifting Deligne-Lusztig Reduction and Geometric Coxeter Type Elements
Cases of Shimura varieties where the special fibre of a Rapoport-Zink space is simply the union of classical Deligne-Lusztig varieties are known as fully Hodge-Newton decomposable ones, and have been studied with great interest in the past. In recent times, the focus has shifted to identify tractable cases beyond the fully Hodge-Newton decomposable ones, and several instances have been identified where only products of classical Deligne-Lusztig varities with simpler spaces occur. In our paper…

$p$-local decompositions of looped polyhedral products
We show that localised away from a finite set of primes, the loop space of a moment-angle complex is homotopy equivalent to a product of loops on spheres. This verifies a conjecture of Anick for such spaces. We also develop a method to reduce the study of the loops of more general polyhedral products to that of the loops on a moment-angle complex. As a consequence, we give $p$-local loop space decompositions of a wide family of polyhedral products, quasitoric manifolds and simply connected tori…

Relatively hyperbolic groups, Grothendieck pairs, and uncountable profinite ambiguity among fibre products
These notes expand upon our lectures on {\em profinite rigidity} at the international colloquium on randomness, geometry and dynamics, organised by TIFR Mumbai at IISER Pune in January 2024. We are interested in the extent to which groups that arise in hyperbolic geometry and 3-manifold topology are determined by their finite quotients. The main theme of these notes is the radical extent to which rigidity is lost when one passes from consideration of groups with hyperbolic features to considera…

Delta-matroids and toric degenerations in OG(n,2n+1)
We construct an explicit, embedded degeneration of the general torus orbit closure in the maximal orthogonal Grassmannian OG(n,2n+1) into a union of Richardson varieties. In particular, we deduce a formula for the cohomology class of the torus orbit closure, as a sum of products of Schubert classes. The moment map images of the degenerate pieces are the base polytopes of their underlying delta-matroids, and give a polyhedral decomposition of the unit hypercube.
