Predicting Module-Lattice Reduction
Is module-lattice reduction better than unstructured lattice reduction? This question was highlighted as 'Q8' in the Kyber NIST standardization submission (Avanzi et al., 2021), as potentially affecting the concrete security of Kyber and other module-lattice-based schemes. Foundational works on module-lattice reduction (Lee, Pellet-Mary, Stehlé, and Wallet, ASIACRYPT 2019; Mukherjee and Stephens-Davidowitz, CRYPTO 2020) confirmed the existence of such module variants of LLL and block-reduction…

Barack Obama urged California voters to support Proposition 50,
a November ballot measure that could reshape the state’s congressional map and deliver up to five new Democratic seats in the US House.

„José Antonio Kast ist mit deutlichem Vorsprung zu Chiles künftigem Präsidenten gewählt worden. (…) Einen derart rechten Staatschef gab es seit der Militärdiktatur nicht mehr.
Der Katholik und Vater von neun Kindern lehnt Abtreibung kategorisch ab. Er spricht sich gegen mehr Rechte für Frauen und gegen die gleichgeschlechtliche Ehe aus. In der extremen Rechten ist Kast weltweit gut vernetzt.
Er unterhält enge Verbindungen zur AfD (…)“

Reduced Density Matrix Functional Theory And A Reduced Formulation Of Density Functional Theory
A mathematical framework for reduced density matrix functional theory (RDMFT) is proposed. The work is inspired by and generalizes the work by E.H.~Lieb [E.H. Lieb, Int. J. Quant. Chem. 24(1983), pp.243--277] on density-functional theory (DFT). We introduce a Banach space for density matrices with finite kinetic energy. The dual space is a rich class of single-particle potentials, i.e., Hermitian forms. The ground state energy of an $N$-fermion system with external forces given by any such Herm…
