Timelike Liouville theory and AdS$_3$ gravity at finite cutoff
We propose that AdS$_3$ gravity with conformal boundary conditions is described by coupling the holographic CFT to timelike Liouville theory and deforming by an exactly marginal operator. In this description, the Liouville field controls the finite-cutoff radial wall in the bulk. We check this proposal in the semiclassical limit by matching the sphere and torus partition functions between the bulk and boundary theories. By scaling parameters of the Liouville theory we can push our bulk descript…

In the present study, we analyze the effects of violation of Lorentz symmetry for black-bounce solutions in a $k$-essence theory that has the form of a power law for the configuration $n=1/3$. We perform such analysis for a known model explored in previous work $Σ^2=x^2+a^2$ and complement the proposal with a new black-bounce model for the area functions $Σ^2_1=\sqrt{x^4+d^4}$.

Efficient Gibbs Sampling in Cox Regression Models Using Composite Partial Likelihood and Pólya-Gamma Augmentation
The Cox regression model and its Bayesian extensions are widely used in survival analysis. However, standard Bayesian approaches require modeling of the baseline hazard, and their full conditional distributions lack closed-form expressions. Therefore, the Metropolis-Hastings sampling algorithm is typically employed, whose efficiency is highly sensitive to the choice of proposal distribution. To address these issues, we propose the GS4Cox, an efficient Gibbs sampling algorithm for the Cox regres…

ETH-monotonicity and the black hole singularity
ETH-monotonicity is a recently discovered quantum advantage in quantum chaotic many-body systems which reinforces the Kelvin statement of the second law of thermodynamics over and above the universal entropic contribution. We show that the boundary conformal field theory in AdS/CFT correspondence possesses ETH-monotonicity. This leads to our proposal that the black hole singularity is a microstate for which ETH-monotonicity dominates the entropic factor.

Strain-Induced Non-alter Compensated Magnet and Its Application to Magnetic Tunnel Junction Device Design
The recent proposal of altermagnetism has drawn widespread attention to antiferromagnet (AFM) exhibiting spin splitting, extending beyond the realm of sign-alternating spin splitting in momentum space protected solely by rotational symmetry. Herrin, we propose a shear-strain strategy that enables significant modulation of d-wave altermagnets into an non-alter compensated magnets. A comprehensive analysis combining the magnetic moment compensation characteristics of opposite spin sublattices wit…

Measurements $\mathit{with}$ probabilities in the final state proposal
Bousso and Stanford (BS) argued that the black hole final state proposal leads to acausal effects and ill-defined probabilities for the AMPS experiment. We identify a loophole in their analysis using insights from entanglement wedge reconstruction and replica wormholes. We trace the cause of the BS problems to the misidentification of the physical interior where the second AMPS measurement happens from among the multiple interiors introduced by the first measurement.

Watermarking Without Standards Is Not AI Governance
Watermarking has emerged as a leading technical proposal for attributing generative AI content and is increasingly cited in global governance frameworks. This paper argues that current implementations risk serving as symbolic compliance rather than delivering effective oversight. We identify a growing gap between regulatory expectations and the technical limitations of existing watermarking schemes. Through analysis of policy proposals and industry practices, we show how incentive structures di…

I also added something to a few bugs. @… really needs to go back to the drawing board and think about whose problems they are trying to solve. Because who is this proposal for? The only beneficiaries are AI companies.

A key element of the administration’s proposal is to redefine what it means for air pollution to cause harm.
If a pollutant causes climate change, it would no longer count as hurting us.
This runs counter to both basic logic and a growing mountain of science documenting direct harms from greenhouse gas

The Density Profile of Dynamical Halos
Among the most fundamental properties of a dark matter halo is its density profile. Motivated by the recent proposal by García et al. [R. García et. al., MNRAS 521, 2464 (2023)] to define a dynamical halo as the collection of orbiting particles in a gravitationally bound structure, we characterize the mean and scatter of the orbiting profile of dynamical halos as a function of their orbiting mass. We demonstrate that the orbiting profile of individual halos at fixed mass depends on a single d…

A quantum experiment with joint exogeneity violation
In randomized experiments, the assumption of potential outcomes is usually accompanied by the \emph{joint exogeneity} assumption. Although joint exogeneity has faced criticism as a counterfactual assumption since its proposal, no evidence has yet demonstrated its violation in randomized experiments. In this paper, we reveal such a violation in a quantum experiment, thereby falsifying this assumption, at least in regimes where classical physics cannot provide a complete description. We further d…

High-Energy Fixed-Angle Meson Scattering and the Constituent Counting Rule in Holographic QCD
We investigate the high-energy fixed-angle scattering of pions and $ρ$-mesons in a bottom-up holographic QCD model. To this end, we generalise the approach of Polchinski and Strassler arXiv:hep-th/0109174 to write an ansatz for meson scattering amplitudes based on superstring scattering amplitudes in asymptotically AdS space. We demonstrate that our generalisation of the Polchinski--Strassler proposal is necessary to describe $ρ$-meson scattering consistently with the Nambu--Goldstone boson e…

Early time hydrodynamic attractor in a nearly-unitary Fermi gas
The hydrodynamic attractors paradigm aims to explain fast applicability of hydrodynamics at ultrarelativistic nuclear collisions at RHIC and LHC in terms of the emergence of a universal behaviour across different initial states. The attractors observed in theoretical models are first driven by a rapid expansion of matter, which later gives way to the decay of exponentially damped transient excitations into the viscous fluid regime. Recently a theoretical proposal was made how to realize hydrody…

Universal Time Evolution of Holographic and Quantum Complexity
Holographic complexity, as the bulk dual of quantum complexity, encodes the geometric structure of black hole interiors. Motivated by the complexity=anything proposal, we introduce the spectral representation for generating functions associated with codimension-one and codimension-zero holographic complexity measures. These generating functions exhibit a universal slope-ramp-plateau structure, analogous to the spectral form factor in chaotic quantum systems. In such systems, quantum complexity …

The (No) Boundary Proposal and excited states in de Sitter holography
In the AdS/CFT framework, vacuum and excited states are systematically described by imposing arbitrary Dirichlet boundary conditions at the AdS boundary. Furthermore, there are explicit relations connecting the quantum states to their corresponding dual Euclidean AdS geometries, in line with the Hartle-Hawking (HH) construction. The ground state therefore corresponds to the dominant saddle point under trivial conditions on the asymptotic boundary, which is the exact Euclidean AdS geometry. In c…
