Whether the train will even be built at all depends in part on revenue from the city’s embattled congestion pricing plan.

James Webb Space Telescope observations of the white dwarf cooling sequence of 47 Tucanae
We present a study of the white dwarf (WD) cooling sequence of the globular cluster 47 Tucanae (47 Tuc or NGC 104) using deep infrared observations with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). By combining these data with ultra-deep optical imaging from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) taken ~12 years earlier, we derived precise proper motions (PMs) and isolated a clean sample of WD cluster members. We estimated the cluster's age by comparing the observed WD cooling sequence luminosity function …

Time-Dependent Hamiltonian Simulation via Time-Independent Dynamics in a Larger Space
In this paper, we present a proof-of-concept quantum algorithm for simulating time-dependent Hamiltonian evolution by reducing the problem to simulating a time-independent Hamiltonian in a larger space using a discrete clock Hamiltonian construction. A similar construction was first explored for this simulation problem by Watkins, Wiebe, Roggero, and Lee [PRX Quantum, 2024]. Our algorithm improves upon their work in terms of the dependence on evolution time and precision. In addition, the compl…

Covariant phase space and $L_\infty$ algebras
We propose a symplectic structure for the phase space of a generic Lagrangian field theory expressed in the framework of $L_\infty$ algebras. The symplectic structure does not require explicit knowledge of the derivative content of the Lagrangian, and therefore is applicable to nonlocal models, such as string field theory, where traditional constructions are difficult to apply. We test our proposal in a number of examples ranging from general relativity to $p$-adic string theory.

We examine several topological properties, such as connectedness, compactness, Lindelöfness, separability and second countability of this pseudometric space.

Truncated Gaussian Noise Estimation in State-Space Models
Within Bayesian state estimation, considerable effort has been devoted to incorporating constraints into state estimation for process optimization, state monitoring, fault detection and control. Nonetheless, in the domain of state-space system identification, the prevalent practice entails constructing models under Gaussian noise assumptions, which can lead to inaccuracies when the noise follows bounded distributions. With the aim of generalizing the Gaussian noise assumption to potentially tru…

For the numerical reconstruction, the inverse problem is reformulated as an optimization problem with the Tikhonov regularization. We use the Levenberg-Marquardt method to identity the unknown source from noisy measurements. Finally, we giv…

Our calculations are performed on a four-dimensional system with $30^4$ sites, and the numerical results agree well with theoretical expectations. Moreover, we show that the method is capable of capturing the disorder effects. This is evidenced by the phase diagram obtained for disordered systems, which agrees well with predictions from the self-consistent Born approximation. …

Pertinent examples of such problems include model synchronization, automated model repair, and design space exploration.

In RL, an autonomous agent explores the state space through trial and error to identify benef…

Let $G$ be a simple Lie group, and $\mathfrak{g}$ its Lie algebra. It is well known that a $G$-module $V$ carrying an invariant symplectic form or an invariant scalar product gives rise to a Hamiltonian Poisson space with a quadratic moment maps $μ$. We show that under condition ${\rm Hom}_{\mathfrak{g}}(\wedge^3 V, S^3V)=0$ this space can be viewed as a quasi-Poisson space with the same bivector, and with the group valued moment map $Φ= \exp \circ μ$.

While extensively studied in non-interacting systems, the interplay between NHSE and strong electron correlations remains largely unexplored.

More generally, we establish a theory for capillary convex bodies in the half-space and prove a general Alexandrov-Fenchel inequality for mixed volumes of capillary convex bodies. The conjecture [16, Conjecture 1.5] follows as its consequence.

A note on Automatic Baire property
Automatic Baire property is a variant of the usual Baire property which is fulfilled for subsets of the Cantor space accepted by finite automata. We consider the family $\mathcal{A}$ of subsets of the Cantor space having the Automatic Baire property. In particular we show that not all finite subsets have the Automatic Baire property, and that already a slight increase of the computational power of the accepting device may lead beyond the class $\mathcal{A}$.

Robust space-time multiscale upscaling via multicontinuum homogenization for evolving perforated media
Time-evolving perforated domains arise in many engineering and geoscientific applications, including reactive transport, particle deposition, and structural degradation in porous media. Accurately capturing the macroscopic behavior of such systems poses significant computational challenges due to the dynamic fine-scale geometries. In this paper, we develop a robust and generalizable multiscale modeling framework based on multicontinuum homogenization to derive effective macroscopic equations in…

Deciphering Solar Cycle Influence on Long-Term Orbital Deterioration of Low-Earth Orbiting Space Debris
The rapid increase in the number of space debris represents a substantial threat to the sustained viability of space operations and underscores the importance of understanding long-term drivers of orbital decay. This first of its kind study examines the long-term impact of solar activity on the orbital decay of 17 LEO debris objects across Solar Cycles 22, 23, and 24 using Two-Line Element (TLE) data spanning these three cycles. Analysis of TLE-derived decay profiles, in conjunction with sunspo…

Generalised state space geometry in Hermitian and non-Hermitian quantum systems
One of the key features of information geometry in the classical setting is the existence of a metric structure and a family of connections on the space of probability distributions. The uniqueness of the Fisher--Rao metric and the duality of these connections is at the heart of classical information geometry. However, these features do not carry over straightforwardly to quantum systems, where a Hermitian inner product structure on the Hilbert space induces a metric on the complex projective s…

A Wave-type Model for Age- and Space-structured Epidemics
We introduce a novel approach of epidemic modeling by combining age-structured models with damped wave equations. This transforms the parabolic-type reaction-diffusion model into a hyperbolic system that shares many properties with a wave or telegrapher's equation. After we establish the existence of a weak solution of the resulting partial differential equation by means of characteristics, we show that the solutions to the new model converge to a solution of the standard age-dependent reaction…

Most of the plastic bottles and caps that pollute the Pacific coasts of Latin American countries are of local origin, and are mainly produced by the multinational companies The Coca-Cola Company, Aje Group and PepsiCo. The countries most affected by these pollutants are those in Central America, probably due to high consumption of beverages in plastic containers, poor waste management and transport by ocean currents. On the island coasts, bottles of Asian origin are more abundant, probably dump…
