Adaptive Divide and Conquer with Two Rounds of Communication
We introduce a two-round adaptive communication strategy that enables rate-optimal estimation in the white noise model without requiring prior knowledge of the underlying smoothness. In the first round, local machines send summary statistics using $(\log_2(n))^2$ bits to enable the central machine to select the tuning parameters of the procedure. In the second round, another set of statistics are transmitted using optimal number of bits, enabling the central machine to aggregate and produce a f…

Codimension two spacelike submanifolds into null hypersurfaces of generalized Robertson-Walker spacetimes
We study codimension two spacelike submanifolds contained into a general class of null hypersurfaces in generalized Robertson-Walker spacetimes, refer to as nullcones. In particular we analyze light cones and lightlike cylinders in Lorentz-Minkowski spacetime, as well as null cones in de Sitter spacetime. We give conditions on a radial coordinate that guarantee that such a spacelike submanifold is conformally diffeomorphic to the hyperbolic space, a round cylinder a sphere; respectively. We als…

Piquant$\varepsilon$: Private Quantile Estimation in the Two-Server Model
Quantiles are key in distributed analytics, but computing them over sensitive data risks privacy. Local differential privacy (LDP) offers strong protection but lower accuracy than central DP, which assumes a trusted aggregator. Secure multi-party computation (MPC) can bridge this gap, but generic MPC solutions face scalability challenges due to large domains, complex secure operations, and multi-round interactions. We present Piquant$\varepsilon$, a system for privacy-preserving estimation of…

Unentanglement and Post-Measurement Branching in Quantum Interactive Proofs
We investigate two resources whose effects on quantum interactive proofs remain poorly understood: the promise of unentanglement, and the verifier's ability to condition on an intermediate measurement, which we call post-measurement branching. We first show that unentanglement can dramatically increase computational power: three-round unentangled quantum interactive proofs equal NEXP, even if only the first message is quantum. By contrast, we prove that if the verifier uses no post-measurement …

This study presents a first-principles model to predict the two-phase pressure drop in gas-liquid intermittent flow through round capillaries, which serve as the simplest analogous of a porous medium. Building upon the classical capillary flow theory, we derive a model for a train of elongated bubbles, and rigorously quantify its validity in terms of the dimensionless parameters of the problem (capillary number, number of bubbles, gas volume fraction, and channel length-to-diameter ratio).

Efficient mobility and power consumption are critical for autonomous water surface robots in long-term water environmental monitoring. This study develops and evaluates a transformable mobility mechanism for a water surface robot with two control modes: station-keeping and traveling to improve energy efficiency and maneuverability. Field experiments show that, in a round-trip task between two points, the traveling mode reduces power consumption by 10\% and decreases the total time required for …

A Note on Constructive Canonical Splitter Strategies in Nowhere Dense Graph Classes
The radius-$r$ splitter game is played on a graph $G$ between two players: Splitter and Connector. In each round, Connector selects a vertex $v$, and the current game arena is restricted to the radius-$r$ neighborhood of $v$. Then Splitter removes a vertex from this restricted subgraph. The game ends, and Splitter wins, when the arena becomes empty. Splitter aims to end the game as quickly as possible, while Connector tries to prolong it for as long as possible. The splitter game was introduced…

In particular, we show how a network of $n$ nodes can compute any circuit of depth $d$, width $ω$, and gate total fan $Δ$, in $d\cdot\lceil\fracω{n^2}+\fracΔ{n}\rceil\cdot 2^{O(\sqrt{\log{n}}\log\log{n})}$ rounds in such a faulty model. As a corollary, any $T$-round Congested Clique algorithm can be compiled into an algorithm that comp…

Diagnostic-Guided Dynamic Profile Optimization for LLM-based User Simulators in Sequential Recommendation
Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) have enabled realistic user simulators for developing and evaluating recommender systems (RSs). However, existing LLM-based simulators for RSs face two major limitations: (1) static and single-step prompt-based inference that leads to inaccurate and incomplete user profile construction; (2) unrealistic and single-round recommendation-feedback interaction pattern that fails to capture real-world scenarios. To address these limitations, we propose D…

A proof of the reverse isoperimetric inequality using a geometric-analytic approach
We present the first proof of the reverse isoperimetric inequality for black holes in arbitrary dimension using a two-pronged geometric-analytic approach. The proof holds for compact Riemannian hypersurfaces in AdS space and seems to be a generic property of black holes in the extended phase space formalism. Using Euclidean gravitational action, we show that, among all hypersurfaces of given volume, the round sphere in the $D$-dimensional Anti-de Sitter space maximizes the area (and hence the e…

Second, the computational overhead of verbose, step-by-step reasoning histories is prohibitive. To address these challenges, we propose BPO, a three-stage framework …

To each edge of such a graph is assigned a positive-integer-valued edge-weight, and during each round of the game, the player whose turn it is to make a move selects a vertex, and removes a non-negative integer edge-weight from each of the edges incident on that vertex, such that the remaining edge-weight on each of these edges is a non-negative integer, and t…

Einstein manifolds under cone conditions for the curvature operator of the second kind
It is established in [6, 14, 23] that any closed Einstein manifold with two-nonnegative curvature operator of the second kind is either flat or a round sphere. In this paper, we refine this result by relaxing the curvature condition to a cone condition (strictly weaker than two nonnegativity) proposed by Li [18]. Precisely, we prove that any closed Einstein manifold of dimension $n=4$ or $n=5$ or $n\ge 8$, if the curvature operator of the second kind $\mathring{R}$ satisfies \begin{align*} (�…

Influence of Barlens on the Bulge Parameters in the 2D Image Decomposition
Recent observations and simulations have shown that a buckled bar in the face-on view can be considered as a combination of a long flat bar and a short round barlens (corresponding to the boxy/peanut bulge in the edge-on view). However, the barlens component can be misidentified as the bulge, potentially leading to inaccurate bulge parameter measurements in two-dimensional (2D) image decomposition. Our goal is to explore the optimal method for modeling the barlens component and to understand it…
