Tell Reform to stop exploiting women’s safety to fuel attacks on migrants
Reform UK is pushing racist claims that migrants are a threat to women’s safety. This toxic narrative paints an entire group of people as inherently dangerous. But there’s no credible evidence to back it up. Reform MP Sarah Pochin suggested that migrants have a “warped view of their right to sexually assault women”. She claimed that men from “predominantly Muslim countries like Afghanistan” hold a “medieval view of women’s rights” and that “women are at risk of sexual assaul…

Smooth functions that split a Klein bottle into two Möbius bands
Given a compact surface $M$, consider the right action $\mathcal{C}^{\infty}(M)\times\mathcal{D}(M)\to\mathcal{C}^{\infty}(M)$, $(f, h) \mapsto f\circ h$, of the group $\mathcal{D}(M)$ of $\mathcal{C}^{\infty}$ diffeomorphisms of $M$ on the space $\mathcal{C}^{\infty}(M)$ of $\mathcal{C}^{\infty}$ functions on $M$. For $f\in\mathcal{C}^{\infty}(M)$ denote by $\mathcal{O}(f)$ its orbit, and by $\mathcal{O}_f(f)$ the path component of $\mathcal{O}(f)$ containing $f$. The paper continues a serie…

On the Asymptotic Density of a GCD-based Map
We show that the symmetry of \[f\left(a,b\right)=\frac{\operatorname{gcd}\left(ab,a+b\right)}{\operatorname{gcd}\left(a,b\right)}\] stems from an $\operatorname{SL}_2\left(\mathbb{Z}\right)$ action on primitive pairs and that all solutions to $f\left(a,b\right)=n$ admit a uniform three-parameter description -- recovering arithmetic-progression families via the Chinese remainder theorem when $n$ is squarefree. It shows that the density of pairs with $f\left(a,b\right)=1$ tends to $\prod_p\left(1…

In this case, the real reason I didn’t recommend 1P for my employer was that I had experienced their enshittification process as an individual user and wasn’t sure how far they might go with a corporate customer.

Slow convergence of Birkhoff ergodic averages
Let $\{T^z\}$ be an ergodic action of the group $Z^n$ by automorphisms of the probability space $(X,m)$, $\sum_{i}^\infty a_i<\infty$, $a_i>0$. For any sequence $M_k\to +\infty$ there exist $N_k>M_k$ and a function $ f\in L_1(X,m)$ such that $$m\left(\ x:\ \left|\, A(x,N_k,f) - \int f \, dm\, \right|\ >\ a_k \ \right)\ \to\ 1,$$ where $$A(x,N,f) =\frac 1 {N^n} \sum_{z\in Q_N} f(T^{z}x),$$ $$Q_N=\{(z_1,\dots,z_n)\}\, :\, 1\leq z_1,\dots,z_n\leq N\}.$$

URGENT: Tell Congress NO to Funding Primate Breeding!
Right now, Congress is working on the 2025 federal budget, and the Senate Appropriations Committee has allocated a staggering $30 million to expand primate breeding and research at National Primate Research Centers. This funding will support invasive, unethical experiments on primates—causing unimaginable suffering while advancing unreliable science that fails over 90% of the time in human clinical trials. 🔬 Despite these facts, the NIH asked for $10 million, but the Senate has tripled th…

Nondegenerate actions on Hilbert C*-modules

Nondegenerate actions on Hilbert C*-modules
Let X be a (right) Hilbert C*-module and let B be a C*-algebra acting on X from the left via adjointable operators. In this note we establish the equivalence of two notions of nondegeneracy for such an action of B on X. Furthermore, we explain how techniques from an earlier paper of Kim can be used to give a short proof of a recent result of Dessi, Kakariadis and Paraskevas.

Itô-Stratonovich Conversion in Infinite Dimensions for Unbounded, Time-Dependent, Nonlinear Operators
We prove that a solution, in a variational framework, to the Stratonovich stochastic partial differential equation with noise $G\left(t, Ψ_t\right) \circ dW_t$ is given by a solution to the Itô equation with Itô-Stratonovich corrector $\frac{1}{2}\sum_{i=1}^\infty D_uG_i\left(t, Ψ_t\right)\left[G_i(t,Ψ_t)\right]dt$. Here $G_i$ denotes the action of $G$ on the $i^{th}$ component of the cylindrical noise, and $D_uG_i$ its Fréchet partial derivative in the Hilbert space for which the Itô fo…

Inverse Q-Learning Done Right: Offline Imitation Learning in $Q^π$-Realizable MDPs
We study the problem of offline imitation learning in Markov decision processes (MDPs), where the goal is to learn a well-performing policy given a dataset of state-action pairs generated by an expert policy. Complementing a recent line of work on this topic that assumes the expert belongs to a tractable class of known policies, we approach this problem from a new angle and leverage a different type of structural assumption about the environment. Specifically, for the class of linear $Q^π$-rea…

Contempt of court is being cynically used for self-promotion by right-wing activists.
Take action against them, and they become martyrs against "cover-ups". If a case collapses as a result of their actions, it's just proof of a corrupt system protecting criminals.

Howe duality for the dual pair $\left(\mathfrak{spo}(2n|1)\,, \mathfrak{osp}(2|2)\right)$
The goal of our work is to study the decomposition of the joint action of $\mathfrak{g} = \mathfrak{spo}(2n|1)$ and $\mathfrak{g}' = \mathfrak{osp}(2|2)$ on the supersymmetric algebra S = S($\mathbb{C}^{2n|1} \otimes \mathbb{C}^{1|1}$). As proved by Merino and Salmasian, we have a one-to-one correspondence between irreducible representations of $\mathfrak{g}$ and $\mathfrak{g}'$ appearing as subrepresentations of S. In this paper, we obtained an explicit description of the h…

Palestine Action / UK censorship
Good article from @….
"While the groups actions may constitute criminal damage, their actions do not represent an attempt to induce fear in the population by creating an imminent threat to life. ...
"Proscribing Palestine Action as terrorists is not about public safety – it is about suppressing protest that we may disagree or agree with, but that stands well short of being an attempt to strike fear into the British public through the use of indiscriminate violence against people. In equating support of damage to military property with support of terrorism, it endangers legitimate debate about the UK-Israel arms trade. ...
"As there is no public evidence of any link to terrorism or support of terrorist groups from Palestine Action, Open Rights Group supports their decision to appeal proscription. While we may have differing opinions on their tactics, we stand against this attack on their right to exist and speak out."

The liberal obsession with optics serves the right and persuades no one. There is literally an active ethnic cleansing happening in the US right now, and the only thing that matters is making that as hard as possible to carry out.
Anarchists destroying intelligence assets saves lives. Every escooter thrown at a cop car is one less escort for a goon too afraid to kidnap random brown people without being flanked by a branch full of bad apples. Spray paint is not violence. Vandalism is not violence. Community self defense in all forms is legitimate.
Make no mistake, these raids are about changing demographics. Demographic trends have been shifting blue for a long time, and the right has, for a long time, been blaming "white replacement." Conspiracy theory aside, Democrats have also been relying on the growth of black and brown voters as a block. The nuances of whiteness as an identity are lost on the current administration and their supporters. They see that "white people will be a minority by 2050" and equate that with the "end of Western Civilization."
The only way to "save Western Civilization" is to change those demographics. Forced birth and forced removal are two sides of the same white nationalist objective. Of course they can't have due process, because they need to be able to kidnap anyone who they see as a threat to their demographic future.
They don't care about optics. The plan is to murder away any threat and flood everyone else with propaganda. There is no mythical middle. There's no one unconvinced. They know this, but they win when democrats buy that myth and save the police the work of policing the protests.
If your protest is 90% "peaceful," they'll take pictures of the 10% that isn't. If it's 99% peaceful, they'll shoot rubber bullets and teargas until someone throws a brick and take 100 pictures from a dozen angles. If its 100% "peaceful" and no one can be provoked, they'll generate pictures with AI or photoshop like they did during the George Floyd uprising and the pictures from the CHOP/CHAZ. Do you have literally no memory?
