Fast Luminous Extragalactic Transients in the VLA Sky Survey: Implications for the rates of Accretion-Induced Collapse Events, Fast Blue Optical Transients and Gamma Ray Burst Afterglows
Radio wavelengths offer a unique window into high-energy astrophysical phenomena that may be obscured or too rapidly evolving to be captured at other wavelengths. Leveraging data from the Very Large Array Sky Survey, we perform a systematic search for fast, luminous transients with characteristic timescales $\lesssim 3$ years in the nearby universe ($z \leq 0.3$). We report the discovery of five such transients, and classify them based on their synchrotron emission energetics and host galaxy pr…

On the analytical approach to infinite-mode Boson-Gaussian states
We develop an analytical approach to quantum Gaussian states in infinite-mode representation of the Canonical Commutation Relations (CCR's), using Yosida approximations to define integrability of possibly unbounded observables with respect to a state $ρ$ ($ρ$-integrability). It turns out that all elements of the commutative $*$-algebra generated by a possibly unbounded $ρ$-integrable observable $A$, denoted by $\langle A\rangle$, are normal and $ρ\, $-integrable. Besides, $\langle A\rangle$…

Indiana budget bill curbs university faculty power, ties tenure to new ‘productivity’ reviews • Indiana Capital Chronicle
Sweeping changes to how public universities manage faculty tenure and campus governance were quietly added to Indiana’s new budget.

Hexagonal circular 3-webs with reducible polar curves of degree three
The paper reports the progress with the classical problem, posed by Blaschke and Bol in 1938. We present new examples and new classifications of natural classes of hexagonal circular 3-webs. The main results is the classification of hexagonal circular 3-webs with reducible polar curves of degree 3 and description of hexagonal circular 3-webs admitting a one-parameter Möbius symmetry.

Total progeny for spectrally negative branching L{é}vy processes with absorption
We consider a spectrally negative branching L{é}vy process in which particles are killed upon crossing below zero. It is known that such a process becomes extinct almost surely if the drift toward -$\infty$ is sufficiently strong to counterbalance the reproduction rate. In this note, we study the tail asymptotics of the number of particles absorbed at the boundary during the lifetime of the process, in both the subcritical and critical regimes.
