Photoelectron Spectroscopy Study of U-Te Thin Films: A Unified Perspective of Hybridization Effects across Compositions

Uranium tellurides span magnetic and superconducting ground states, yet systematic electronic-structure information across the U-Te series remains scarce. In this study, we perform photoemission measurements on freshly prepared UxTey thin films covering the range of bulk stoichiometries under ultra-high vacuum (10^-9 Pa), enabling...

The accumulation of knowledge with intra-industry knowledge spillovers: A competition game and the Nash equilibrium based on firm cost minimisation

This paper examines a competition game whose key variables are the R&D efforts (e.g. R&D expenditures) and accumulated knowledge of firms located in a specific region. The most significant element of accumulated knowledge is knowledge spillovers. These are considered intra-industry as it is assumed that the firms operate within the...

Spectral Dynamics and Regularization for High-Dimensional Copulas

We introduce a novel model for time-varying, asymmetric, tail-dependent copulas in high dimensions that incorporates both spectral dynamics and regularization. The dynamics of the dependence matrix' eigenvalues are modeled in a score-driven way, while biases in the unconditional eigenvalue spectrum are resolved by non-linear...

Total curvature of convex hypersurfaces in Cartan-Hadamard manifolds

We show that if the curvature of a Cartan-Hadamard $n$-manifold is constant near a convex hypersurface $Γ$, then the total Gauss-Kronecker curvature $\mathcal{G}(Γ)$ is not less than that of any convex hypersurface nested inside $Γ$. This extends Borbély's monotonicity theorem in hyperbolic space. It follows that $\mathcal{G}(Γ)$ is...

On constructing topology from algebra

In this thesis we explore natural procedures through which topological structure can be constructed from specific semigroups. We will do this in two ways: 1) we equip the semigroup object itself with a topological structure, and 2) we find a topological space for the semigroup to act on continuously. We discuss various...

Quantum eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of an electron confined between conducting planes

Two of the most iconic systems of quantum physics are the particle in a box and the Coulomb potential (the third is, of course, the harmonic oscillator). In this expository paper, we consider the quantum solution to the problem of an electron confined between the grounded planes of an infinite capacitor. The potential arises from the...

Classifier Calibration at Scale: An Empirical Study of Model-Agnostic Post-Hoc Methods

We study model-agnostic post-hoc calibration methods intended to improve probabilistic predictions in supervised binary classification on real i.i.d. tabular data, with particular emphasis on conformal and Venn-based approaches that provide distribution-free validity guarantees under exchangeability. We benchmark 21 widely used...

On surfaces with smooth projective models over $\mathbb{Z}$

In this expository article, we prove a birational classification of smooth projective models of surfaces with negative Kodaira dimension over $\mathbb{Z}$ and over more general rings of integers $\mathcal{O}_K$, depending on their arithmetic and cohomological invariants. Along the way we collect some results on smooth projective...

A Newly Identified Degeneracy Keeps the Planetary Interpretation Viable for OGLE-2011-BLG-0950

The microlensing event OGLE-2011-BLG-0950 exhibits the well-known ``Planet/Binary'' degeneracy, in which distinct lens configurations produce similar light curves but imply substantially different mass ratios between the lens components. A previous study suggested that high-resolution imaging could break this degeneracy through...

Rethinking Quantum Noise in Quantum Machine Learning: When Noise Improves Learning

Quantum noise is conventionally viewed as a fundamental obstacle in near-term quantum computing, motivating extensive error correction and mitigation strategies. We present numerical evidence that challenges this consensus. Through experiments on quantum graph neural networks for molecular property prediction, we discover that quantum...

An infinite set of one-range addition theorems without an infinite second series, for Slater orbitals and it derivatives, applicable more than one coordinate system

Addition theorems have been indispensable tools for the reduction of quantum transition amplitudes. They are normally utilized at the start of the process to move the angular dependence within plane waves and Coulomb potentials, and the like, into a sum over Spherical Harmonics that allows the angular integration to be carried out....

Structure and Memory Control Self-Diffusion in Active Matter

Despite extensive progress in characterizing the emergent behavior of active matter, the microscopic origins of self-diffusion in interacting active systems remain poorly understood. Here, we develop a framework that quantitatively links self-diffusion to collisional forces and their temporal correlations in active fluids. We show...

Safe Navigation in Cluttered Environments Via Spline-Based Harmonic Potential Fields

We provide a complete motion-planning mechanism that ensures target tracking and obstacle avoidance in a cluttered environment. For a given polyhedral decomposition of the feasible space, we adopt a novel procedure that constrains the agent to move only through a prescribed sequence of cells via a suitable control policy. For each...

Multi-level Monte Carlo Dropout for Efficient Uncertainty Quantification

We develop a multilevel Monte Carlo (MLMC) framework for uncertainty quantification with Monte Carlo dropout. Treating dropout masks as a source of epistemic randomness, we define a fidelity hierarchy by the number of stochastic forward passes used to estimate predictive moments. We construct coupled coarse--fine estimators by reusing...

Function Recovery Attacks in Gate-Hiding Garbled Circuits using SAT Solving

Semi-Private Function Evaluation (SPFE) enables joint computation while protecting both input data and the function itself. A practical instantiation is gate-hiding garbled circuits, which conceal gate functionalities while revealing circuit topology. Existing security definitions intentionally exclude leakage through topology,...

Probabilistic Linear Logic Programming with an Application to Bayesian Network Computations (Extended Version)

Bayesian networks are a canonical formalism for representing probabilistic dependencies, yet their integration within logic programming frameworks remains a nontrivial challenge, mainly due to the complex structure of these networks. In this paper, we propose probLO (probabilistic Linear Objects) an extension of Andreoli and...

Implementation of Leaking Quantum Walks on a Photonic Processor

Quantum walks (QWs) represent pillars of quantum dynamics and information processing. They provide a powerful framework for simulating quantum transport, designing search algorithms, and enabling universal quantum computation. Several physical platforms have been employed for their implementation, such as trapped atoms and ions,...

Chaotic Dynamics and Bifurcation Analysis of the Hindmarsh-Rose Neuron Model with Blue-Sky Catastrophe under Magnetic Field Influence

We investigate the impact of magnetic-field-induced feedback on the dynamics of a Hindmarsh-Rose neuron model exhibiting a blue-sky catastrophe. By introducing a magnetic flux variable that couples nonlinearly to the membrane potential, we demonstrate that electromagnetic effects profoundly reshape neuronal firing patterns and...

The Query Complexity of Local Search in Rounds on General Graphs

We analyze the query complexity of finding a local minimum in $t$ rounds on general graphs. More precisely, given a graph $G = (V,E)$ and oracle access to an unknown function $f : V \to \mathbb{R}$, the goal is to find a local minimum--a vertex $v$ such that $f(v) \leq f(u)$ for all $(u,v) \in E$--using at most $t$ rounds of...

Microscopic Quantum Friction

We report on a microscopic theory of quantum friction. Our approach investigates the interplay between the dispersive response and the relative center-of-mass motion of two ground-state atoms. This coupling yields a quantum force, which can be expressed as a power series in the velocity. The significance of each contribution depends...

CURE-Med: Curriculum-Informed Reinforcement Learning for Multilingual Medical Reasoning

While large language models (LLMs) have shown to perform well on monolingual mathematical and commonsense reasoning, they remain unreliable for multilingual medical reasoning applications, hindering their deployment in multilingual healthcare settings.
