#HotTake:
Liberalism is a syncretic religion where the highest deity is the State and all other deities are subject to it. Liberalism asserts this distinction by classifying political systems as deriving from "natural law" and religions as faith systems. Classical liberalism divided the world into "primitive" beliefs and "enlightened" beliefs. Atheistic anarchism aligns with this distinction by opposing the state and capitalism through logic, rather than asserting that the state and capitalism are themselves systems of faith. Atheistic anarchism further reinforces the narrative of the liberal state by aligning with the liberal understanding of religion as a "primitive" institution.
Graeber et al pointed out the connections between property rights as a form of fedishism (magic) and the evolution of currency, debt, taxes, and the state from temples.

The Supreme Court announced on Friday that it would review a Hawaii law that forbids gun owners from bringing firearms on private property without the property owner’s explicit permission.
If the law falls, the court could make it significantly harder for states and cities to keep guns out of everyday life.
💥Wolford v. Lopez traces its origins to the Supreme Court’s recent decisions that rewrote the nation’s gun-related jurisprudence.

The Supreme Court Could Make It Easier to Bring a Gun Everywhere
The justices just took up a challenge to a Hawaii law that bars people from carrying guns on private property against the owner’s wishes.

The Supreme Courtsaid on Friday that it will take up its latest gun rights case
and consider striking down a strict regulation on where people can carry firearms in Hawaii.
Trump’s administration had urged the justices to take the case.
The court will consider Hawaii’s law that bans guns on private property,
including businesses like stores and hotels,
unless the owner has specifically allowed them verbally or with a sign.

Supreme Court will consider overturning strict Hawaii gun law
The Supreme Court says it'll take up its latest gun rights case and consider striking down strict regulations on where people can carry firearms in Hawaii. President Donald Trump’s Republican administration had urged the justices to take the case, arguing the law violates the court’s 2022 ruling that found people have a right to carry firearms in public under the Second Amendment. The Hawaii law bans guns on private property unless the owner has specifically allowed them. The law also prohi…

Limit Laws for Poincaré Recurrence and the Shrinking Target Problem
Let $(X,T,μ,d)$ be a metric measure-preserving system. If $B(x,r_n(x))$ is a sequence of balls such that, for each $n$, the measure of $B(x,r_n(x))$ is constant, then we obtain a self-norming CLT for recurrence for systems satisfying a multiple decorrelation property. When $μ$ is absolutely continuous, we obtain a distributional limit law for recurrence for the sequence of balls $B(x,r_n)$. In the latter case, the density of the limiting distribution is an average over Gaussian densities. An …

Entanglement negativity in free fermions: twisted characteristic polynomial, universal bounds, and area laws
We present a general and simple formula for computing the entanglement negativity in free fermions. Our formula allows for deriving several universal bounds on negativity and its rate of change in dynamics. The bound on negativity directly relates the clustering property of correlations in free-fermion states to the entanglement area law, and provides the optimal condition for the area law in mixed free fermion states with long-range correlations. In addition, we establish an area-law bound on …

The quantitative behavior of $α$-Yang-Mills-Higgs fields on surfaces
We investigate the blow-up behavior of $α$-Yang--Mills--Higgs ($α$-YMH) fields over closed Riemannian surfaces with the target fiber $F = S^{K-1} \subset \mathbb{R}^K$ being the round sphere, focusing on the establishment of the $α$-energy identity and the no-neck property during the bubbling process. A central innovation is the identification of a hidden Jacobian structure through Hodge decomposition and a new conservation law. Furthermore, we derive a Pohozaev-type identity for $α$-YMH fi…

On the surjectivity of the conditional expectation given a real random variable
In this paper, we investigate the distributions of random couples $(X,Y)$ with $X$ real-valued such that any non-negative integrable random variable $f(X)$ can be represented as a conditional expectation, $f(X)=\mathbb{E}[g(Y)|X]$, for some non-negative measurable function $g$. It turns out that this representation property is related to the smallness of the support of the conditional law of $X$ given $Y$, and in particular fails when this conditional law almost surely has a non-zero absol…

Anisotropic modifications to the transport phenomena and observables in a hot QCD medium at finite baryon asymmetry
We have studied how the transport of charge and heat as well as associated observables become influenced by a weak-momentum anisotropy arising due to the asymptotic expansion of baryon asymmetric matter in the initial stages of heavy ion collisions. This study facilitates the understanding of the local equilibrium property of the medium through the Knudsen number, and explores the correlation between the heat flow and the charge flow through the Lorenz number in the Wiedemann-Franz law for an a…

Towards Human-Centered RegTech: Unpacking Professionals' Strategies and Needs for Using LLMs Safely
Large Language Models are profoundly changing work patterns in high-risk professional domains, yet their application also introduces severe and underexplored compliance risks. To investigate this issue, we conducted semi-structured interviews with 24 highly-skilled knowledge workers from industries such as law, healthcare, and finance. The study found that these experts are commonly concerned about sensitive information leakage, intellectual property infringement, and uncertainty regarding the …

Unconditional energy dissipation of Strang splitting for the matrix-valued Allen-Cahn equation
The energy dissipation property of the Strang splitting method was first demonstrated for the matrix-valued Allen-Cahn (MAC) equation under restrictive time-step constraints [J. Comput. Phys. 454, 110985, 2022]. In this work, we eliminate this limitation through a refined stability analysis framework, rigorously proving that the Strang splitting method preserves the energy dissipation law unconditionally for arbitrary time steps. The refined proof hinges on a precise estimation of the double-we…

Additive properties and absorption laws for generalized inverses
Let $a,~f$ be elements in a ring with pseudo core inverses $a^{\scriptsize\textcircled{\tiny D}}$, $f^{\scriptsize\textcircled{\tiny D}}$, and let $b=f-a$. We prove that the absorption law $a^{\scriptsize\textcircled{\tiny D}}(a+f)f^{\scriptsize\textcircled{\tiny D}}=a^{\scriptsize\textcircled{\tiny D}}+f^{\scriptsize\textcircled{\tiny D}}$ holds if and only if $1+a^{\scriptsize\textcircled{\tiny D}}b$ is invertible and the additive property $f^{\scriptsize\textcircled{\tiny D}}=(1+a^{\scriptsi…
