Temporal integration gives continuous-time recurrent networks memory, but in deep stacks it also delays bottom-up signals and attenuates top-down errors. We develop Recursive Quadrature Filters (RQFs), biologically motivated complex-valued temporal filters that are a special case of diagonal state-space models (SSMs), and ask whether...
Here, we report high-order functional network connectivity as a promising way for studying the brain connectome. Traditional functional connectivity approaches capture only pairwise relationships between brain regions, overlooking complex multivariate dependencies that underlie cognition and behavior. First, we demonstrated that...
Whether the constant $$G=\sum_{k=0}^\infty\frac{(-1)^k}{(2k+1)^2}=\frac1{1^2}-\frac1{3^2}+\frac1{5^2}-\frac1{7^2}+\cdots$$ introduced by Catalan in the nineteen century is irrational, is a long-standing open problem. In this paper we prove the irrationality of $G$ via using suitable weights.
We study the job shop scheduling problem with a conflict graph (JSC), in which adjacent jobs in the conflict graph cannot be processed simultaneously on different machines, with the objective of minimizing the makespan. The problem models settings where jobs share additional resources while retaining their individual machine routings....
We study the properties of the $dd^Φ$-operator on $8$-dimensional Spin(7)-manifolds with torsion-free Spin(7)-structures $Φ$. These operators were first introduced by Harvey and Lawson (An introduction to potential theory in calibrated geometry. Am.J. Math. 131.4 (2009), arXiv:0710.3920). We prove a Hodge decomposition theorem for the...
In this paper, we address the subconvexity problem in level aspect for symmetric square $L$-functions for cuspidal automorphic representation of $\mathrm{GL}_2(\mathbb{Q})$ with a prescribed local ramification at prime $p$. To be more precise, let $π$ be a tempered cuspidal automorphic representation of conductor $q(π)=p^2$ with a...
We construct a nonempty $C^k$-open family, for some $k\in\mathbb{N}$, of smooth, autonomous, divergence-free velocity fields on $\mathbb{T}^3$ that generate fast dynamos. This resolves the Fast Dynamo Conjecture of Zeldovich and Sakharov, as recorded in Arnold's book of problems. We first construct a family of smooth, time-periodic...
We determine the growth scale of the optimal constants in the real anisotropic Bohnenblust--Hille inequality. For an exponent vector $\mathbf q^{(m)}$, write $C_{\mathbf q^{(m)}}^{(m)}$ for its optimal constant and $d_m$ for its diameter. These constants are superpolynomial precisely when $m d_m/\log m\to\infty$; throughout this...
This paper is the third and final article in a series of papers constructing the canonical conformally invariant metric on the set of loops of the conformal loop ensemble (CLE) with critical parameter $κ=4$. The previous two articles construct, as a subsequential limit of the renormalized graph metric on the loops of CLE$_κ$ as...
We continue our study of the conformal loop ensemble (CLE) with parameter $κ=4$, the critical threshold at or below which the loops are simple and disjoint, touching neither each other nor the domain boundary. This paper is the second in a series of three establishing that the loops of a CLE$_4$ uniquely determine a conformally...
We consider the conformal loop ensemble (CLE) with the parameter $κ=4$, the critical value at or below which the loops are simple and do not intersect each other or the domain boundary. We show that the loops of a CLE$_4$ uniquely determine a conformally invariant, local, and geodesic metric so that the metric ball growth from the...
We study probabilistic numerical methods for solving nonlinear PDEs from a Bayesian nonparametric perspective. Given noisy evaluations at random collocation points, we place a truncated Gaussian series prior on the unknown solution and establish contraction at the minimax nonparametric rate, up to a logarithmic factor. Our main...
Quantum thermalization explains how an isolated many-body system naturally evolves towards a thermal state, rendering information about the initial conditions inaccessible to local measurements. This is precisely the mechanism utilized in quantum error correction, where information is protected by design through a nonlocal encoding....
In this paper, we consider a class of Riemannian nonsmooth composite expectation optimization problems, which arises in various machine learning, signal processing, and statistics applications. Noting that these problems admit structured minimax reformulations, we propose an efficient algorithm, named stochastic Riemannian alternating...
Probability plays two distinct roles in modern data-analytic practice: (i) as an internally coherent, filtration-relative language for sequential forecasting and, together with a stated loss or utility, decision making; and (ii) as a foundation for empirical claims such as stabilization, calibration, and repeated-sampling validity....
We study the near $L^1$ behavior of the maximally quadratically modulated Hilbert transform \[ \mathcal{C}_2f(x) := \sup_λ \left|\operatorname{p.v.} \int_{\mathbb{R}}f(x-y)e^{2 πi λy^2} \frac{\mathrm{d} y }{y} \right| \] and its lacunary counterpart obtained by restricting $λ$ to $2^{\mathbb{Z}}.$ We prove that if $Φ$ is a Young...
This paper investigates a two player zero-sum stochastic differential game characterized by three distinct regimes, reflecting the regime switching dynamics within the system. We aim to derive an explicit solution for a number of configurations of the switching system by means of the viscosity solutions approach. In particular, we...
We study the SCFT/VOA correspondence for the $(A_2,D_{3n-2})$ Argyres--Douglas theories with $n\geq2$. From the matching of the central charges and the equality of the Schur index with the vacuum supercharacter to all orders, we propose that the associated VOA is the logarithmic doublet algebra $\mathcal A(4n-2)$ of Feigin, Feigin,...
Let \(S\) be a smooth projective complex surface with irregularity \(q=h^{1,0}(S)\) and geometric genus \(g=h^{2,0}(S)\), and let \(S^{[n]}\) denote its Hilbert scheme of \(n\) points. We prove that, for every \(n\ge0\), the sequence \[ \left(h^{p,0}\bigl(S^{[n]}\bigr)\right)_{p=0}^{2n} \] is log-concave if and only if...
Let $p$ be a prime. We prove nontrivial bounds on short sums of Dirichlet characters mod $p$ evaluated at a class of polynomials, not necessarily homogeneous, in $n$ variables and of degree $k$. For large $n$, we further achieve nontrivial bounds for sums over boxes with side-lengths as short as $p^{1/(k-1)+\varepsilon}$, which breaks...
We define the new basis of the Grothendieck group of unipotent representations in an exceptional Weyl group, making more precise and correcting results in previous papers.
We develop a global framework for joint S&P 500 (SPX)-VIX smile calibration across multiple maturities without the conditional-independence restriction induced by Markovian stitching. Exact local and global feasibility are equivalent: every globally feasible law has a block-preserving SPX-Markovization that leaves each monthly...
This paper presents an energy-based controller for a multiagent robotic system designed to achieve and maintain a specific formation while moving on a plane and avoiding collisions between agents. The controller emulates a network of elementary spring-damper modules connecting pairs of agents. This network, with its de-energized...
Room impulse responses (RIRs) characterize the acoustic environment of a room by capturing how sound propagates and decays within an enclosed space. In applications such as immersive audio rendering, accurate acoustic reconstruction often relies on spatially densely sampled RIRs. This consequently gives rise to a large volume of RIR...
What are the transversality conditions for an optimal control problem when the boundary conditions are defined by differential equations? This seemingly bizarre question is motivated by trajectory optimization problems in the $N$-body system. The question, however, is more fundamental and goes beyond problems in astrodynamics to...
