Role of many phonon modes on the high-temperature linear-in-$T$ electronic resistivity
We theoretically consider the possibility that phonons may be playing a role in the observed linear-in-$T$ resistivity in cuprates by focusing on the obvious question: How can phonon scattering be consistent with a linear-in-$T$ resistivity with a constant slope given that cuprates have many phonon modes with different energies and electron-phonon couplings (e.g. 21 phonon modes for LSCO)? We show using an arbitrarily large number of independent phonon modes that, within a model Boltzmann trans…

For decades intersecting D-branes and O-planes have been playing a very important role in string phenomenology in the context of particle physics model building and in the context of flux compactifications. The corresponding supergravity equations are hard to solve so generically solutions only exist in a so-called smeared limit where the delta function sources are replaced by constants.

Respective Roles of Electron-Phonon and Electron-Electron Interactions in the Transport and Quasiparticle Properties of SrVO$_3$
The spectral and transport properties of strongly correlated metals, such as SrVO$_3$ (SVO), are widely attributed to electron-electron ($e$-$e$) interactions, with lattice vibrations (phonons) playing a secondary role. Here, using first-principles electron-phonon ($e$-ph) and dynamical mean field theory calculations, we show that $e$-ph interactions play an essential role in SVO: they govern the electron scattering and resistivity in a wide temperature range down to 30 K, and induce an experim…

Neeko: Leveraging Dynamic LoRA for Efficient Multi-Character Role-Playing Agent
Large Language Models (LLMs) have revolutionized open-domain dialogue agents but encounter challenges in multi-character role-playing (MCRP) scenarios. To address the issue, we present Neeko, an innovative framework designed for efficient multiple characters imitation. Unlike existing methods, Neeko employs a dynamic low-rank adapter (LoRA) strategy, enabling it to adapt seamlessly to diverse characters. Our framework breaks down the role-playing process into agent pre-training, multiple charac…

Bangladesh Agricultural Knowledge Graph: Enabling Semantic Integration and Data-driven Analysis--Full Version
In Bangladesh, agriculture is a crucial driver for addressing Sustainable Development Goal 1 (No Poverty) and 2 (Zero Hunger), playing a fundamental role in the economy and people's livelihoods. To enhance the sustainability and resilience of the agriculture industry through data-driven insights, the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics and other organizations consistently collect and publish agricultural data on the Web. Nevertheless, the current datasets encounter various challenges: 1) they are p…

On the absence of supergravity solutions for localized, intersecting sources
For decades intersecting D-branes and O-planes have been playing a very important role in string phenomenology in the context of particle physics model building and in the context of flux compactifications. The corresponding supergravity equations are hard to solve so generically solutions only exist in a so-called smeared limit where the delta function sources are replaced by constants. We are showing here that supergravity solutions for two perpendicularly intersecting localized sources in fl…

Urban highways are barriers to social ties
Urban highways are common, especially in the US, making cities more car-centric. They promise the annihilation of distance but obstruct pedestrian mobility, thus playing a key role in limiting social interactions locally. Although this limiting role is widely acknowledged in urban studies, the quantitative relationship between urban highways and social ties is barely tested. Here we define a Barrier Score that relates massive, geolocated online social network data to highways in the 50 largest …

A singular Riemannian Geometry Approach to Deep Neural Networks III. Piecewise Differentiable Layers and Random Walks on $n$-dimensional Classes
Neural networks are playing a crucial role in everyday life, with the most modern generative models able to achieve impressive results. Nonetheless, their functioning is still not very clear, and several strategies have been adopted to study how and why these model reach their outputs. A common approach is to consider the data in an Euclidean settings: recent years has witnessed instead a shift from this paradigm, moving thus to more general framework, namely Riemannian Geometry. Two recent wor…

Models of $2$-nondegenerate CR hypersurface in $\mathbb{C}^N$
We show that every point in a uniformly $2$-nondegenerate CR hypersurface is canonically associated with a model $2$-nondegenerate structure. The $2$-nondegenerate models are basic CR invariants playing the same fundamental role as quadrics do in the Levi nondegenerate case. We characterize all $2$-nondegenerate models and show that the moduli space of such hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{C}^N$ is infinite dimensional for each $N>3$. We derive a normal form for these models' defining equations that i…

Safety and Liveness of Quantitative Properties and Automata
Safety and liveness stand as fundamental concepts in formal languages, playing a key role in verification. The safety-liveness classification of boolean properties characterizes whether a given property can be falsified by observing a finite prefix of an infinite computation trace (always for safety, never for liveness). In the quantitative setting, properties are arbitrary functions from infinite words to partially-ordered domains. Extending this paradigm to the quantitative domain, where prop…

Background and Objective: Data from electro-anatomical mapping (EAM) systems are playing an increasingly important role in computational modeling studies for the patient-specific calibration of digital twin models. However, data exported from commercial EAM systems are challenging to access and parse. Converting to data formats that are easily amenable to be viewed and analyzed with commonly used cardiac simulation software tools such as openCARP remains challenging. We therefore developed an o…

Traveling waves are a fundamental phenomenon in the brain, playing a crucial role in short-term information storage. In this study, we leverage the concept of traveling wave dynamics within a neural lattice to formulate a theoretical model of neural working memory, study its properties, and its real world implications in AI. The proposed model diverges from traditional approaches, which assume information storage in static, register-like locations updated by interference. Instead, the model sto…

Precise upper deviation estimates for the maximum of a branching random walk
We consider the precise upper large deviations estimates for the maximal displacement of a branching random walk. In addition, we obtain a description of the extremal process of the branching random walk conditioned on this large deviations event. This introduces a family of point measure playing a role similar to the decoration measures introduced in [9] for branching Brownian motion.
