Timelike Entanglement Entropy in Higher Curvature Gravity
This work investigates holographic timelike entanglement entropy in higher curvature gravity, with a particular focus on Lovelock theories and on the role of excited states. For strip subsystems, higher-curvature terms are found to affect the imaginary part of the entropy in a dimension-dependent manner, while excited states contribute solely to the real part. For the cases analyzed, spacelike and timelike entanglement entropies exhibit proportional relations: vacuum contributions differ by uni…

Yesterday, 2/3 of Dutch parliament voted for laws designed by Wilders' PVV to make life for refugees and other asylum seekers in the Netherlands even more miserable. Even giving support (food, shelter) to 'illegal aliens' would become a criminal offence. https://nos.nl/l/2573574

Meerderheid Tweede Kamer stemt na chaotisch verloop toch in met strengere asielwetten
De wetten zijn nog gemaakt door toenmalig PVV-minister Faber en zijn bedoeld om in Nederland "het strengste asielbeleid ooit" in te voeren.

Timelike Liouville theory and AdS$_3$ gravity at finite cutoff
We propose that AdS$_3$ gravity with conformal boundary conditions is described by coupling the holographic CFT to timelike Liouville theory and deforming by an exactly marginal operator. In this description, the Liouville field controls the finite-cutoff radial wall in the bulk. We check this proposal in the semiclassical limit by matching the sphere and torus partition functions between the bulk and boundary theories. By scaling parameters of the Liouville theory we can push our bulk descript…

Linesearch-free adaptive Bregman proximal gradient for convex minimization without relative smoothness
This paper introduces adaptive Bregman proximal gradient algorithms for solving convex composite minimization problems without relying on global relative smoothness or strong convexity assumptions. Building upon recent advances in adaptive stepsize selections, the proposed methods generate stepsizes based on local curvature estimates, entirely eliminating the need for backtracking linesearch. A key innovation is a Bregman generalization of Young's inequality, which allows controlling a critical…

There’s a significant downside to the booming Dutch beaver population.
Beavers are increasingly digging burrows and tunnels under roads, railways and
– even more worryingly – in dykes.
For a country where a quarter of the land sits below sea level,
this is not a minor problem
– especially as beavers are not exactly holding back when digging.
