Whether the train will even be built at all depends in part on revenue from the city’s embattled congestion pricing plan.

Multidimensional Assessment of Public Space Quality: A Comprehensive Framework Across Urban Space Typologies
This study presents a comprehensive framework for evaluating the quality of public spaces across various urban typologies. Through a systematic review of 159 research studies, we identify universal quality factors that transcend spatial types as well as specialized factors unique to specific public environments. Our findings establish accessibility (73.6%), safety/security (58.4%), and comfort (52.8%) as foundational requirements across all public space types, while revealing distinct quality p…

Uncovering the Spectral Bias in Diagonal State Space Models
Current methods for initializing state space models (SSMs) parameters mainly rely on the \textit{HiPPO framework}, which is based on an online approximation of orthogonal polynomials. Recently, diagonal alternatives have shown to reach a similar level of performance while being significantly more efficient due to the simplification in the kernel computation. However, the \textit{HiPPO framework} does not explicitly study the role of its diagonal variants. In this paper, we take a further step t…

HydraMamba: Multi-Head State Space Model for Global Point Cloud Learning
The attention mechanism has become a dominant operator in point cloud learning, but its quadratic complexity leads to limited inter-point interactions, hindering long-range dependency modeling between objects. Due to excellent long-range modeling capability with linear complexity, the selective state space model (S6), as the core of Mamba, has been exploited in point cloud learning for long-range dependency interactions over the entire point cloud.

Real-Space Chemistry on Quantum Computers: A Fault-Tolerant Algorithm with Adaptive Grids and Transcorrelated Extension
First-quantized, real-space formulations of quantum chemistry on quantum computers are appealing: qubit count scales logarithmically with spatial resolution, and Coulomb operators achieve quadratic instead of quartic computational scaling of two-electron interactions. However, existing schemes employ uniform discretizations, so the resolution required to capture electron-nuclear cusps in high-density regions oversamples low-density regions, wasting computational resources. We address this by de…

The geometric Tevelev degrees of projective space enumerate general, pointed algebraic curves interpolating through the maximal possible number of points. Previous work expresses these invariants in terms of Schubert calculus. Extending ideas of Gillespie--Reimer-Berg, we use the RSK correspondence to give a positive interpretation of these counts in terms of the combinatorics of words.

Spontaneous Space-Time Parity Breaking Without Thermal Restoration
We construct an ultraviolet-complete, local, and unitary quantum field theory in 2+1 dimensions that exhibits spontaneous breaking of space-time parity, persisting to arbitrarily high temperatures. The theory is defined by a renormalization group trajectory, triggered by a relevant deformation of a conformal field theory, consisting of a critical biconical vector model and a free massless Dirac fermion. This deformation couples the fermion to the scalar sector, generating a renormalization grou…

In the space of closed $G_2$-structures equipped with Bryant's Dirichlet-type metric, we continue to utilise the geodesic, constructed in our previous article, to show that, under a normalisation condition Hitchin's volume functional is geodesically concave and the $G_2$ Laplacian flow decreases the length. Furthermore, we also construct various examples of hyper-symplectic manifolds on geodesic concavity.
