Complex Scalar Dark Matter with a Vector-Like Quark and Lepton: Precision, Flavor, and HL-LHC

We investigate a minimal extension of the SM consisting of a $\mathbb{Z}_3$-stabilized complex scalar dark matter (CSDM) candidate, a down-type vector-like quark (VLQ), and a charged vector-like lepton (VLL). The additional vector-like fermions not only enable the CSDM to reproduce the observed relic abundance beyond the...

Topological Impurity Bands

The effects of disorder on topological phases of matter are typically either preservation of topology or its destruction. For example, the quantum Hall effect's quantization and chiral edge mode remain robust until a strong-disorder percolation transition exits the topological phase. Disorder can also enlarge a preexisting topological...

Hydrodynamic attractors

Attractors are effective low-dimensional structures, defined in a chosen set of observables, that trajectories from different initial states approach; hydrodynamic attractors are those on which the late-time evolution is governed by hydrodynamic constitutive relations. Motivated by nuclear collisions and ultracold atomic gases, this...

Unramified cohomology and Brauer--Manin pairing

We show that the Tate module of the $\ell$-adic unramified cohomology $H^3_{\nr}(X, {\Q_\ell}/{\Z_\ell})$ of a smooth projective surface $X$ over a local or strictly local field $k$ of residue characteristic prime to $\ell$ vanishes under suitable conditions. We apply this to answer some questions concerning the left and ...

Differentiability of Lipschitz mappings into metric spaces: area and co-area formulas

We give a self-contained exposition of metric differentiability for Lipschitz mappings from sets in Euclidean spaces into arbitrary metric spaces, together with the corresponding area and co-area formulas. The novelty is a new metric implicit function theorem for mappings into metric spaces, which is then used to give a direct and...

The Archimedean place is a blurred interval at infinity

Classically, the places of $\mathbb{Q}$ are often regarded as a one-point compactification of $\mathrm{Spec}(\mathbb{Z})$, with the real place corresponding to a formal ``prime'' added at infinity. Re-examining this picture from a topos-theoretic perspective reveals a subtler geometry: while the non-Archimedean places are identified...

Symplectic Dirac operators on homogeneous spaces

We define symplectic Dirac operators on homogeneous spaces and study their representation-theoretic role. For an invariant polarization, the symplectic Dirac operator decomposes into two symplectic Dolbeault operators. We compute their commutator as the natural symplectic analogue of the square of the classical Dirac operator. Our...

On universal elements for doubling geodesic trees

For $n\ge 3$ and $c\in(0,1)$, let $\mathcal{GT}(n,c)$ denote the class of geodesic metric trees of valence at most $n$ whose branch points are uniformly relatively separated with constant $c$. We prove that $\mathcal{GT}(n,c)$ has no bi-Lipschitz universal element. More precisely, we construct a family...

Fundamental Groups in the Five Dimensional Pan-Rong Conjecture

Let $M$ be a complete open $5$-manifold with nonnegative Ricci curvature. If its universal cover $\tilde M$ has Euclidean volume growth, then $π_1(M)$ is finitely generated and virtually $\mathbb Z^k$ for some $0\le k\le4$. This confirms a conjecture of Pan and Rong \cite{PR18} in dimension five; see also \cite{BNS25,BrNaSe25}. In...

Renormalization of One-Dimensional Semirelativistic Bosons with Contact Interactions

We study one-dimensional spinless bosons with semirelativistic spinless-Salpeter dispersion and attractive pairwise contact interactions. Because the dispersion becomes linear at large momentum, the contact interaction is marginal by power counting and produces a logarithmic ultraviolet divergence. We construct the renormalized...

Images of word maps with constants on algebraic groups

We study word maps with constants on quasisimple algebraic groups over a local field $L$. We prove that, for such a group $G=\mathbf{G}(L)$ and a word $w\in (G\ast\mathbf{F}_r)\setminus G$, either $w$ has a so-called Tomanov-small critical constant or the minimal dimension of the word image $w(G^r)\subseteq G$ of such a word is...

Time-Varying Data as Sheaves: an Invitation to Narratives

Modern science and engineering increasingly rely on time-varying data, yet the mathematical tools used to model temporal phenomena are often developed within separate disciplines, obscuring common principles and limiting the transfer of ideas across fields. This chapter presents the theory of narratives, an abstract framework for...

Quadratic Point Estimate Method for Uncertainty Quantification with Dependent Non-Gaussian Inputs

As an extension of the Point Estimate Method (PEM) to evaluate probabilistic moments of quantities of interest (QoI) in general $n$-dimensional spaces, the Quadratic Point Estimate Method (QPEM) has been recently developed. This new method is defined to fully represent up to fifth-order input moments in the Gaussian space, providing...

ExecCritic: Learn to Test, Test to Improve for Coding Agents

Execution feedback can guide coding agents toward correct repository repairs, but only when the tests capture the behavior requested by the issue. Agent-generated tests can encode incomplete or incorrect behavioral targets; when the same trajectory writes both the patch and the test, their errors can agree and create false confidence....

Nearly Tight Rademacher Bounds for Sparsely Activated Neural Networks

An input may activate few hidden units even when different inputs collectively use an entire network. We study the statistical complexity of this input-dependent sparsity in the one-hidden-layer ReLU model of Awasthi et al. (COLT 2024). For width $s$, at most $k$ active units per input, and effective weight and bias bounds $W,B$,...

A Generalization of Amari's Bayesian Duality

Amari's contributions to information geometry and machine learning are well known. Here, we revisit Amari's work on Bayesian duality which has not received as much attention. We connect Amari's Bayesian duality to a convex duality of Bayes' rule. Using this connection, we present a generalization of Amari's Bayesian duality and...

Canonical Color as a Lens into Concept Decodability in Vision Encoders and VLMs

Visual encoders construct a representation of the image input for Vision-Language models. How much conceptual, as opposed to immediately visible, information does this representation contain? We use canonical color as a controlled test case to ask whether vision encoders make canonical-color information linearly accessible, even when...

Mask Forcing: Improving Autoregressive Video Diffusion Distillation via Dual-Noise Masking Rollout

Autoregressive (AR) video diffusion models have shown great potential in real-time video generation. Recent methods distill pretrained bidirectional video diffusion models into causal AR students through Distribution Matching Distillation (DMD), but the generated videos often suffer from over-saturation and over-smoothing issues,...

DeCAL: Towards Physically-Grounded Dexterous Vision-Language-Action Models via Contact-Aware Latent Co-Imagination

Dexterous manipulation involves contact-rich and fine-grained interactions with the physical world, posing significant challenges for existing vision-language-action (VLA) models due to severe visual occlusions and complex contact dynamics. While recent works have incorporated tactile sensing into robotic manipulation, most approaches...

When Does Scale-Invariant Optimization Become Unstable? An Exact Schedule Law with Weight Decay

Normalization renders large parts of neural networks effectively scale invariant, inducing a hidden feedback loop in which learning-rate schedules and weight decay interact through the parameter norm to control the effective step taken by the optimizer. We show that this interaction is governed by an exact discrete-time law: a single...

SAEScientist-Bench: Can AI Agents Conduct Autonomous SAE Interpretability Research?

TANGO: Humanoid Navigation in Cluttered Environments with a Whole-Body Vision-Language-Action Model

We study the problem of navigating cluttered indoor environments with a humanoid robot. Unlike conventional methods that model navigation as a 2D path planning problem, humanoid traversal in cluttered environments requires continuous geometry-aware whole-body adaptation, including coordinated arm placement, torso adjustment, and gait...
