We prove a Michael-Simon inequality for $2$-varifolds in $\mathbb{R}^N$, in arbitrary codimension, for anisotropies sufficiently close to the area functional. Building on the ideas of Almgren and De Philippis-Pigati, we introduce a projection method for anisotropic stress measures yielding geometric inequalities that apply in...
Uncoupled no-regret dynamics provide a decentralized route to equilibrium, but prior guarantees for individual regret retain a polylogarithmic dependence on the horizon. We remove this dependence for every finite $N$-player normal-form game under full-information feedback. We introduce \emph{ECHO-OFTRL}: optimistic...
Bridging model-based control and learned policies in long-horizon manipulation has harbored a silent disagreement: control executes specified objectives, learning amortizes that behavior into a reactive policy, yet existing protocols discard task semantics, leaving rewards hand-crafted and behavior drifting from what control...
Kinetically constrained systems, such as those representing Rydberg atom arrays in the blockade regime, have gathered considerable attention due to the presence of atypical eigenstates in their spectrum. The latter manifests itself through the presence of quantum many-body scars as well as unusually large zero-mode (ZM) subspaces...
We prove a Michael-Simon inequality for varifolds of every dimension and codimension with respect to anisotropic energies. Combined with Allard's anisotropic regularity theorem, this result yields the regularity of hypersurfaces with bounded anisotropic mean curvature in every dimension. Using the results of De Philippis and Pigati,...
Nambu-Goto cosmic string loops generically develop cusps, points where the string momentarily reaches the speed of light. These cusps produce strong gravitational wave bursts with a characteristic strain spectrum $\tilde{h}(ω)\propto (Gμ)\,ω^{-4/3}$, making them prime targets for gravitational wave searches, where $μ$ is the string...
We prove that deciding whether an ideal in a polynomial ring contains a trinomial is impossible on a Turing machine. More precisely, from an integer polynomial $P$ we compute generators of an ideal $I_P$ in a polynomial ring over $\mathbb{Q}$ such that $I_P$ contains a trinomial if and only if $P$ has an integral zero. By the MRDP...
The use of agentic large language models obviates human interpretation of scientific results, and will lead to substantial distrust in the literature.
Astrophysical observations of our universe have been key to our understanding of how the universe works. Shortly after the turn of the millennium, the National Research Council delivered \textit{Connecting Quarks with the Cosmos: Eleven Science Questions for the New Century}. In the subsequent quarter-century, we have made substantial...
The bidirectional reflectance factor (BRF) characterizes the directional radiative properties of terrestrial surfaces. However, existing three-dimensional (3D) radiative transfer models require complex scene construction and computationally intensive radiative transfer solvers, limiting efficient generation of multi-angle...
We prove interior Hölder regularity for solutions of the stationary kinetic Fokker-Planck equation in non-divergence form in space dimension one. The estimate is independent of any small-oscillation condition on the diffusion coefficient.
Many parameter-efficient methods generate the parameters of a large neural network from a low-dimensional latent representation. Given an architecture $Φ$ with $P_Φ$ parameter slots, we write $\boldsymbolθ_f=\mathcal{G}(\boldsymbolξ_f)$, where $\mathcal{G}\colon\mathbb{R}^M\to\mathbb{R}^{P_Φ}$ is a parameter generator and...
We present the algebraic structure of bosonic quantum error-correcting codes on genus-two Riemann surfaces. We explicitly construct the code words as automorphic forms and analytically generate the full tower of code spaces at all weights. We prove a fundamental no-go theorem: for any genus greater than one, the stabilizer group is...
Let $R$ be a ring that is essentially of finite type over a field and $I\subseteq R$ be an ideal. In this article it is shown that the minimal number of generators of the symbolic powers $I^{(n)}$ is bounded above by a polynomial in $n$. Furthermore, if $R$ is assumed to be a domain and $\mathcal I=\{I_n\}_{n\ge 0}$ is an...
Multi-photon dissipation -- a key resource for bosonic qubits -- is usually realized by parametrically pumping a Josephson coupler at the cost of spurious nonlinear terms. Here we instead engineer it using a dc-voltage-biased SQUID, such that these parasitic terms average out. We activate the conversion of one, two, or four photons of...
Searches for Dysonian waste heat have operated almost exclusively in the mid-infrared and are therefore sensitive primarily to technology radiating at 100-600K. We argue that mature, computation-dominated civilisations may instead dissipate much of their energy at far lower temperatures. The Landauer cost of irreversible computation...
We introduce a family of effective theories and use them to define a specific type of coarse-grained models for canonical loop quantum gravity. Each effective theory is characterized by two parameters and it consists mainly of a Hilbert space of coarse states and an effective Hamiltonian operator. The construction of the coarse...
We study the free energy of the critical $O(N)$ vector model at large $N$ on $S^{1}\times S^{2}$ with an angular velocity $\hatμ$ without the singlet constraint. The leading high-temperature behaviour is determined analytically both as an expansion about $\hatμr=0$ and $\hatμ^{2}r^{2}=1$ where $r$ is the radius of the sphere. We...
We rethink the definition of privacy in multi-server, graph-replicated private information retrieval (PIR) systems, by introducing a novel setting where the user's privacy is governed by the servers' storage structure. In classical graph-replicated PIR, the user retrieves a single message stored at the servers, while hiding the...
Analytical signal-processing blocks are interpretable and reliable, but their optimality depends on assumptions that practical hardware and channels violate. Learned replacements can adapt, but often discard the structure that makes the original solution understandable. Here we introduce deformable matched filtering, a platform in...
We complete the classification of non-Kähler steady pluriclosed soliton on compact complex surfaces, as initiated by Streets. The underlying complex structure must be a Hopf surface, with any finite primary cover being of class 1. Moreover, the soliton metric is unique up to biholomorphism.
For an integer $t\geq-1$, let $θ_t$ be the largest real root of $g_t(X)=X^3-tX^2-(t+3)X-1$, and let $R_t=\mathbb{Z}[θ_t]\subseteq\mathcal{O}_t=\mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{Q}(θ_t)}$. We prove that if the additive order index $q=[\mathcal{O}_t:R_t]$ is prime, then $[\mathcal{O}_t^\times:R_t^\times]=q$ exactly for $(t,q)=(3,3)$ and $(5,7)$, and...
Hyperanalytic functions, in the sense established by the mathematician Avron Douglis, are Douglis algebra-valued functions defined via a hypercomplex structure rather than the standard Cauchy-Riemann equations characteristic of traditional complex analysis. The classes of polyhyperanalytic and meta-hyperanalytic functions represent...
In a remarkable work published in Analysis and PDE 8 (2015) 1541-1563, M. Fazly, J. Wei, and X. Xu establish the following pointwise estimate \[-Δu \geq \frac 2{n-4} \frac{|\nabla u|^2}u + \sqrt{\frac 2{p+1- \frac 8{n(n-4)}}} |x|^{\frac σ2} u^\frac{p+1}2 \quad \text{in } \mathbf R^n\] for any bounded, positive, $C^4$-solution $u$ to...
We solve the Nielsen realisation problem for high-dimensional aspherical manifolds in a new class of special cases. Mainly, we focus on actions of cyclic groups of prime order. A novelty is that it gives topological solutions to the problem with certain high-dimensional fixed point sets, whereas previous solutions of this type were...
