It can be calculated within the framework of classical density functional theory in two very distinct ways. In the test-particle route, one fixes a single fluid particle, turning it into an external potential in which the inhomogeneous structure of the fluid is calculated by minimizing the functional. The second route to g(r) in density functional theory employs the Ornstein–Zernike equation and the pair direct correlation function, that can be obtained from the second functional derivatives of the excess (over the ideal gas) free energy functional. Since typically an approximate excess free energy functional is employed, the test-particle route, which requires only one functional derivative, is more accurate than the Ornstein–Zernike route. Here we study a two-dimensional core-shoulder particle system and find that in some circumstances the results from the Ornstein–Zernike route can be comparable in accuracy to the test-particle results for r > σ, the core diameter. We also examine in detail the asymptotic r → ∞ decay of g(r), finding a variety of possible decay wavelengths at different state points and state points where there is a crossover from one wavelength to a very different one. This behavior is a signature pointing to the rich phase behavior of the incipient solid phases."}],"supplementarymaterial":"yes","volume":130,"scopus_import":"1","day":"20","article_type":"original","publication":"Journal of Physical Chemistry B","ddc":["530","540"],"license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","page":"8514-8526","oa_version":"Published Version","tmp":{"short":"CC BY (4.0)","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)","image":"/images/cc_by.png"},"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"acknowledgement":"We are grateful to Florian Sanmüller and Matthias Schmidt for valuable comments on the manuscript and helpful discussions.

Here we compile and utilise new, high-quality spectroscopic JWST/NIRSpec Prism observations from the JWST archive. In particular, we extend the wavelength coverage beyond the standard pipeline cut-off (5.3 μm) up to 5.5 μm, which enables for the first time a detailed examination of the rest-frame optical emission-line properties for galaxies at z ≈ 10. Crucially, the improved calibration allows us to detect Hβ and the [O III] λλ4959, 5007 doublet and resolve the auroral [O III] λ4363 line for the 11 galaxies in our sample (z = 9.3 − 10.0) to obtain direct Te-based metallicity measurements. We find that the interstellar medium (ISM) of all galaxies shows high ionisation fields and electron temperatures, with derived metallicities in the range 12 + log(O/H) = 7.1 − 8.3 (3–50% solar), consistent with previous strong-line diagnostics based on JWST data at high redshifts. We derive an empirical relation for MUV and 12 + log(O/H) at z ≈ 10, useful for future higher-redshift studies, and show that the sample galaxies are ‘typical’ star-forming galaxies though with relatively high specific star formation rates (median sSFR = SFRHβ/M★ = 38 Gyr−1) and with evidence of bursty star formation on 10 Myr versus 100 Myr timescales (log10(SFR10/SFR100)≈0.7). Combining the rest-frame optical line analysis and detailed UV to optical spectro-photometric modelling, we determine the mass-metallicity relation (MZR) and the fundamental metallicity relation (FMR) of the sample, pushing the previous redshift frontier of these measurements to z = 10. These results, together with literature measurements, point to a gradually decreasing MZR at higher redshifts, with a break in the FMR at z ≈ 3, decreasing to metallicities ≈3× lower at z = 10 than observed in galaxies during the majority of cosmic time at z = 0 − 3, likely caused by massive pristine gas inflows diluting the observed metal abundances during early galaxy assembly at cosmic dawn."}],"supplementarymaterial":"no","volume":708,"scopus_import":"1","article_type":"original","day":"01","publication":"Astronomy & Astrophysics","ddc":["520"],"oa_version":"Published Version","tmp":{"short":"CC BY (4.0)","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)","image":"/images/cc_by.png"},"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"acknowledgement":"We would like to thank the referee for providing a comprehensive and constructive report, greatly improving the results presented in this work.

Endogenous double-stranded RNAs are modified by the A-to-I RNA-editing ADAR family to prevent activation of MDA5. In vivo, cytoplasmic ADAR1p150 is critically required to suppress MDA5 activation, yet the editing signature of all ADAR isoforms is strongly overlapping in mice. Further, it is not clear how A-to-I modifications in dsRNA prevent MDA5 activation. Here we show that 3′ UTRs harboring inverted repeats activate MDA5 in vitro and in cells. In vitro editing by either ADAR isoform leads to editing at overlapping hotspot regions and prevents MDA5 activation in vitro and in cells. Remarkably, only inosines introduced by RNA editing are capable of suppressing MDA5 activation, while replacing guanosines with inosines during in vitro transcription has no impact on MDA5 activation. A comparison of inosines introduced by ADAR1p150 in vitro, in cells, and in vivo suggests that a small number of A-to-I conversions may be critically required to suppress MDA5 activation. As those critical editing events are predominantly altering A:U basepairs into I:U wobble basepairs, we suggest that the helical distortion introduced by those wobble pairs may prevent MDA5 polymerization and thus downstream activation of the type I interferon response."}],"volume":54,"supplementarymaterial":"yes","publication_status":"published","article_processing_charge":"Yes","OA_place":"publisher","month":"09","OA_type":"gold","department":[{"_id":"CaBe"},{"_id":"GradSch"}],"external_id":{"pmid":["42635125"]},"dataavailabilitystatement":"Sequencing data has been deposited at GEO and is available under accession number GSE293616.\r\nEditing analysis of protected dsRNA is available in GitHub, https://github.com/BioinfoUNIBA/Mouse-dsRNA-mda5, and Zenodo, https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.17876716.","article_number":"gkag845","date_created":"2026-08-30T22:01:44Z","pmid":1,"DOAJ_listed":"1","type":"journal_article","date_published":"2026-09-09T00:00:00Z","fulldoi":"https://doi.org/10.1093/nar/gkag845","das_tickbox":"1","oa":1,"author":[{"last_name":"Varada","full_name":"Varada, Rajagopal","first_name":"Rajagopal"},{"full_name":"Leuchtenberger, Alina F.","last_name":"Leuchtenberger","first_name":"Alina F."},{"last_name":"Vesely","full_name":"Vesely, Cornelia","first_name":"Cornelia"},{"id":"36FA4AFA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Beata M","last_name":"Kaczmarek","full_name":"Kaczmarek, Beata M"},{"full_name":"Mansouri Khosravi, Hamid","last_name":"Mansouri Khosravi","first_name":"Hamid"},{"full_name":"Mandl, Therese C.","last_name":"Mandl","first_name":"Therese C."},{"first_name":"Katarina","last_name":"Milanovic","full_name":"Milanovic, Katarina"},{"first_name":"Kasra","full_name":"Honarmand Tamizkar, Kasra","last_name":"Honarmand Tamizkar"},{"last_name":"Rajendra","full_name":"Rajendra, Vinod","first_name":"Vinod"},{"first_name":"Hannes","last_name":"Senoner","full_name":"Senoner, Hannes"},{"first_name":"Linda","full_name":"Steinbichl, Linda","last_name":"Steinbichl"},{"first_name":"Marija","last_name":"Borojevic","full_name":"Borojevic, Marija"},{"full_name":"Sombke, Andy","last_name":"Sombke","first_name":"Andy"},{"full_name":"Schmidt, Katy","last_name":"Schmidt","first_name":"Katy"},{"first_name":"Margret","last_name":"Eckhard","full_name":"Eckhard, Margret"},{"last_name":"Hofacker","full_name":"Hofacker, Ivo L.","first_name":"Ivo L."},{"full_name":"Walkley, Carl","last_name":"Walkley","first_name":"Carl"},{"last_name":"Heraud-Farlow","full_name":"Heraud-Farlow, Jacki E.","first_name":"Jacki E."},{"full_name":"Picardi, Ernesto","last_name":"Picardi","first_name":"Ernesto"},{"id":"2CB9DFE2-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Carrie A","orcid":"0000-0003-0893-7036","last_name":"Bernecky","full_name":"Bernecky, Carrie A"},{"first_name":"Michael F.","last_name":"Jantsch","full_name":"Jantsch, Michael F."}],"intvolume":" 54","publisher":"Oxford University Press","_id":"22772","PlanS_conform":"1","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","has_accepted_license":"1","status":"public","quality_controlled":"1","year":"2026","date_updated":"2026-09-09T11:31:04Z","title":"Distinguishing self from non-self RNA by editing-specific inosine patterns","doi":"10.1093/nar/gkag845"},{"publisher":"IOP Publishing","intvolume":" 1007","oa":1,"author":[{"full_name":"Caputi, Karina I.","last_name":"Caputi","first_name":"Karina I."},{"last_name":"Cooper","full_name":"Cooper, Ryan A.","first_name":"Ryan A."},{"first_name":"Pierluigi","last_name":"Rinaldi","full_name":"Rinaldi, Pierluigi"},{"first_name":"Rafael","last_name":"Navarro-Carrera","full_name":"Navarro-Carrera, Rafael"},{"last_name":"Iani","full_name":"Iani, Edoardo","first_name":"Edoardo","id":"4053390a-6b68-11ef-9828-a3b8adef8d0a","orcid":"0000-0001-8386-3546"},{"first_name":"Abigail A.","last_name":"Tumborang","full_name":"Tumborang, Abigail A."}],"_id":"22814","doi":"10.3847/1538-4357/ae80b9","title":"Pseudo Little Red Dot: An active black hole embedded in a dense and dusty, metal-poor starburst galaxy at z = 5.96","date_updated":"2026-09-09T12:19:54Z","year":"2026","quality_controlled":"1","status":"public","has_accepted_license":"1","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","OA_type":"gold","department":[{"_id":"JoMa"}],"month":"08","OA_place":"publisher","article_processing_charge":"Yes","publication_status":"published","date_created":"2026-09-06T22:01:56Z","article_number":"203","external_id":{"arxiv":["2601.11466"]},"date_published":"2026-08-20T00:00:00Z","type":"journal_article","DOAJ_listed":"1","arxiv":1,"das_tickbox":"0","fulldoi":"https://doi.org/10.3847/1538-4357/ae80b9","ddc":["520"],"publication":"The Astrophysical Journal","researchdata_availability":"no","supplementarymaterial":"no","volume":1007,"abstract":[{"text":"We present a study of a pseudo little red dot with no metal lines (Pseudo-LRD-NOM), a highly magnified lowmass galaxy behind the lensing cluster A370 at z = 5.96. We classify this object as a pseudo-LRD because its red\r\nrest-frame optical color is contaminated by a prominent Hα line (with EW0 ≳ 800 Å) present in its JWST\r\nNIRSpec spectrum. Hα is dominated by a narrow component and also has a minor broad component indicative of\r\nan active black hole with MBH ≈ 5.6 × 10^6 M⊙. A narrow Hβ emission line is also detected (where the signal-tonoise ratio, S/N, is 8), producing a Balmer decrement (narrow) Hα/Hβ = 11. The rest-frame UV spectral slope is ßspec/uv = - 1.20 ± 0.28. All these features can be ascribed to high dust attenuation. However, no [O III]λ5007 or\r\nany other metal lines are detected in the spectrum, so [O III]5007/Hβ < 0.25, at odds with a simple dust attenuation explanation. Accounting for all the spectral properties requires the model of a starburst with moderate\r\ncolor excess E(B − V )≈0.2–0.5, high gas density (nH ≳ 10^6 cm^−3\r\n), and low- to extremely-low gas/stellar\r\nmetallicities (Z = 0.01–0.1 Z⊙).

When the warm anomaly is particularly large in the upper troposphere, it is referred to as a high-level warm core. Previous works documented the generation of high-level warm cores as a consequence of stratospheric air intrusion into the troposphere induced by the upper-level dynamics of a tropical cyclone. However, little attention has been given to their effects on the storm's subsequent evolution. It has been suggested that the presence of a high-level warm core can have opposite effects on tropical cyclone intensity: both strengthening and weakening have been described as possible consequences of its formation. In this study, we examine the role of high-level warm cores in the intensification and dissipation processes of tropical cyclones, as reproduced in numerical models of different complexities, namely the model “System for Atmospheric Modeling” (SAM) run under idealized conditions and the model Nonhydrostatic ICosahedral Atmospheric Model run under realistic conditions following the DYnamics of the Atmospheric general circulation Modeled On Non-hydrostatic Domains summer protocol. Our results confirm the hypothesis of a stratospheric origin behind the formation of high-level warm cores. Their initial role is shown to be an enhancement of storm intensity, by a lowering of the hydrostatic sea-level pressure (HSLP) associated with the presence of warm air aloft. However, as the warm anomaly intensifies and extends to lower levels, it also increases static stability in the air column, with the consequence of inhibiting convection and ultimately contributing to cyclone dissipation. These findings suggest that high-level warm cores play a dual role in the tropical cyclone life cycle, providing a stabilizing mechanism that can limit cyclone strength and longevity."}],"project":[{"name":"Organization of CLoUdS, and implications of Tropical cyclones and for the Energetics of the tropics, in current and waRming climate","grant_number":"805041","call_identifier":"H2020","_id":"629205d8-2b32-11ec-9570-e1356ff73576"}],"researchdata_availability":"upon request","ddc":["550"],"publication":"Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society","ec_funded":1,"acknowledgement":"The authors thank Tom Beucler, Hamish Ramsay, and two anonymous reviewers for insightful comments and constructive feedback on earlier versions of this work.\r\n\r\nThis work is partially funded by the National Recovery and Resilience Plan project TeRABIT (Terabit network for Research and Academic Big data in Italy—IR0000022—PNRRMissione4—Componente2—Investim ento3.1—CUPI53C21000370006) in the frame of the European Union—NextGenerationEU funding.

Our measurements increased the number of accurate N/O determinations at z ∼ 2 − 4 using a homogeneous approach. We found a mean value of log(N/O) = −+0.25−0.21 over a metallicity range of 12 + log(O/H) = 7.56 to 8.44. The observed N/O ratio and scatter are indistinguishable from that observed in low-z galaxies and H II regions over the same metallicity range, thus showing no redshift evolution of N/O for typical galaxies over a significant fraction of cosmic time. We also show that typical z ∼ 3 galaxies have a similar offset in the BPT diagram to galaxies from the low-z Lyman Continuum Survey (LzLCS) when compared to the average of SDSS galaxies, and we demonstrate that this offset is not due to enhanced nitrogen abundances.

Most existing neuromorphic vision systems either rely on electrical inputs for bidirectional conductance modulation, limiting their operating speed and bandwidth, or lack nonvolatility, leading to nonlinear weight updates and poor efficiency in image recognition tasks. Here, we report a two-terminal, fully light-controlled synaptic memristor based on CsPbBr3/ZnO nanorod heterojunction that demonstrates 4-bit memory storage and optical logic operations within a single architecture. The device emulates essential functions of both excitatory and inhibitory synapses, utilizing positive photoconductivity under UV illumination (λ = 375 nm) and anomalous negative photoconductivity under visible light (λ = 450 nm). By controlling defect concentrations at the CsPbBr3/ZnO nanorod interface, the device exhibits nonvolatile multibit memory with near-linear, symmetric conductance modulation, achieving 92.4% image recognition accuracy with a convolutional neural network. The bidirectional photoresponse enables reconfigurable optical logic operations, demonstrating integrated logic-in-memory. Additionally, when integrated on a flexible platform, the device demonstrates stable synaptic performance under repeated mechanical bending. These results highlight the potential of CsPbBr3/ZnO nanorod heterojunction-based all-photonic synapses as building blocks for multibit storage, optical information processing, and wearable neuromorphic vision systems."}],"researchdata_availability":"no","publication":"Small","acknowledgement":"SS sincerely acknowledges the fellowship received from the Ministryof Education, Government of India, to carry out this research.

In a beholder signature, one signs a commitment to a (potentially very long) message, and the signature attests that the parties participating in the signing process, who know the secret key, jointly also know the entire committed message. This guarantee holds even against distributed adversaries that use secure multi-party computation (MPC) to produce the signature. We work in the distributed adversarial model (Dziembowski, Faust, and Lizurej, Crypto’23), where one assumes that it is infeasible to evaluate a large number of hash queries without any of the participating parties learning the input. We propose a construction of beholder signatures in the random oracle model. The starting point of our construction is proofs of complete knowledge, recently proposed by (Kelkar et al. CCS’24), which build on Fischlin’s transformation of a sigma protocol to a non-interactive, straight-line extractable zero-knowledge proof of knowledge. Our scheme is concretely efficient and comes with a proof-of-concept implementation using Schnorr as the underlying sigma protocol.\r\n\r\nThe primary applications of beholder signatures can be found within the blockchain space.

The former, the building block of matter, something we learn about in school and imagine it as some tiny marbles encircled by other tinier marbles. The latter, an electromagnetic wave, a light particle or an excitation of the electromagnetic field. Quantum mechanics tells us about the properties of these two entities. And even if it sounds, looks and writes counter-intuitive, it has proven right for over a century now.\r\n\r\nIn this work, I elaborate on how we tested the laws of quantum mechanics and how we used them learn more about the tiny building blocks of nature and the fields they use to talk to each other. The atoms we use, are artificial. Superconducting qubits, small electrical circuits with quantized energy levels behave like electrons that transition between different orbitals in an atom. One of the qubits' advantages, is also a big disadvantage. We design the circuits' energy levels and fabricate them in a cleanroom. This allows for arbitrary spaced energy levels but in contrast to real atoms, prevents two superconducting qubits from being alike. Still, this qubit platform is one of the frontrunners for future quantum computing technology and testing fundamental physics due to their scalability.\r\n\r\nWe interface superconducting qubits, which operate in the GHz regime, with microwave photons. We use 3D aluminum cavities as mediators between qubits and photons. The cavities allow for non-destructive readout of the qubit state, they shield the qubits from noise at the qubit frequency and they give us an easy way to frequency-tune these joint systems.\r\n\r\nWe need to operate superconducting qubits and their cavities at millikelvin temperatures in dilution refrigerators. At higher temperatures, superconductivity suffers and even worse, the environment is filled with thermal noise photons. This poses a fundamental limitation on the scalability of superconducting qubit devices. Also connecting multiple devices in different fridges does not work over room temperature links because the microwave photons used for this purpose will be covered in noise and the quantum information they carry, will be unusable.\r\n\r\nInfrared photons do not suffer from this noise problem since there are close to zero thermal noise photons at their frequencies at room temperature. We cannot simply interface superconducting devices with optical photons due their frequency mismatch and the destructive effect of optical photons on superconductors. Therefore, we use microwave-to-optics transducers that allow to convert microwave photons into optical ones and vice-versa. The transducers that we use are macroscopic electro-optic transducers using the Pockels effect in a disk-shaped Lithium Niobate whispering gallery mode resonator. By using a strong optical pump, photons from the two frequency domains experience a beam-splitter interaction and get converted from one to the other.\r\n\r\nWe measure the generated optical photons using elaborate optical setups, optical heterodyning and single photon detectors to gain knowledge about the qubit state or the converted microwave photons. Bridging the microwave and the optical world allows us to take advantage of both of their strengths but it also requires deep knowledge about both of their working principles.\r\n\r\nIn this work, we describe two experiments that our group conducted to showcase the opportunities that arise from interfacing superconducting qubits with optical photons but also the pitfalls, one may encounter on the way.\r\n\r\nIn the first experiment, we managed to all-optically read out a superconducting qubit. We show that the assignment fidelity, the probability that a measurement of the qubit state matches the prepared state, is close to equal for all-optical, microwave-to-optics and conventional microwave readout. We show T1 and T2 measurements for all three readout types and give an analysis of the noise caused by the optics. Finally, we show that the infrared light does not affect the qubit performance in a negative way but that the heating it causes does. This is an important insight that we used in the next experiment.\r\n\r\nThe second experiment is the upconversion of itinerant single microwave photons to the optical domain. We show that we can generate single microwave photons from a qubit-cavity system. We upconvert these single photons, measure them with a single photon detector and reconstruct their shape. By conducting a single photon Rabi measurement, we show correlations between the microwave and the optical domain. And by thorough signal-to-noise measurements and noise analysis, we find that we can generate single infrared photons with high signal-to-noise ratio 5.1 and low transducer added noise (<0.012 quanta). We show that this measurement creates a path towards entanglement of a superconducting qubit and an optical photon and what parameters need to be improved to achieve it. Additionally, this experiment is a proof of principle for an on-demand infrared single photon source. More generally, it allows to link microwave quantum technology in general to the optical domain.","lang":"eng"}],"alternative_title":["ISTA Thesis"],"day":"12","month":"05","OA_place":"publisher","article_processing_charge":"No","department":[{"_id":"GradSch"},{"_id":"JoFi"}],"publication_status":"published","date_created":"2026-05-12T09:04:02Z","supervisor":[{"first_name":"Johannes M","id":"4B591CBA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000-0001-8112-028X","last_name":"Fink","full_name":"Fink, Johannes M"}],"date_published":"2026-05-12T00:00:00Z","type":"dissertation","related_material":{"record":[{"id":"19073","relation":"part_of_dissertation","status":"public"},{"status":"public","relation":"part_of_dissertation","id":"21870"}]},"fulldoi":"https://doi.org/10.15479/AT-ISTA-21863","publisher":"Institute of Science and Technology Austria","oa":1,"author":[{"full_name":"Werner, Thomas","last_name":"Werner","orcid":"0009-0001-2346-5236","id":"1fcd8497-dba3-11ea-a45e-c6fbd715f7c7","first_name":"Thomas"}],"corr_author":"1","_id":"21863","degree_awarded":"PhD","acknowledged_ssus":[{"_id":"M-Shop"},{"_id":"NanoFab"},{"_id":"LifeSc"},{"_id":"SSU"}],"date_updated":"2026-09-14T07:08:54Z","title":"Interfacing superconducting qubits with optical photons","year":"2026","doi":"10.15479/AT-ISTA-21863","status":"public","user_id":"8b945eb4-e2f2-11eb-945a-df72226e66a9","has_accepted_license":"1"},{"oa_version":"Preprint","tmp":{"short":"CC BY (4.0)","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)","image":"/images/cc_by.png"},"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"acknowledgement":"We thank Fritz Diorico and Onur Hosten who suggested the filter cavity design, and gave important insights about the assembly and the testing of the FabryPerot filter cavities.

Changes in cortical components have long been considered to dominate the regulation of forces and mechanical properties at the cell surface and drive morphogenesis. Here, we show that the coupling of the cortex to the membrane is also key for the regulation of its mechanical properties. By combining molecular engineering with biophysical approaches and in-cell cryo-electron tomography we describe the cell surface with nanometer-resolution and link its organization to cell-scale mechanics. We find that membrane-to-cortex attachment proteins can physically draw the cortex closer to the membrane, in a density and length-dependent manner. This reduction of the membrane-to-cortex distance controls the activity of the formin mDia1, leading to a reduction in cortical tension. Our study thus defines a novel mechanism whereby the membrane-to-cortex distance is a functional geometrical parameter that regulates cell surface properties.","lang":"eng"}],"publication":"Nature Communications","ddc":["570"],"tmp":{"short":"CC BY (4.0)","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)","image":"/images/cc_by.png"},"oa_version":"Published Version","acknowledgement":"We thank Jan Ellenberg (SciLifeLab), Stephan Grill (MPI-CBG), Anna Erzberger (EMBL) and members of the Diz-Muñoz lab for a critical reading of the manuscript.

Such interactions have been reported in both numerical and observational studies, mainly showing that subsidence from the stratosphere into the eye of an intensifying storm leads to a high-level warm core. However, the effect of this upper-level warming on the intensity of the TCs is not yet well understood. In this study, we show that subsiding air from the stratosphere beyond subsidence in the eye is the reason for the upper-level warming in idealized simulations. We further show that it is possible to quantify the effects of the upper-level warming on the potential intensity of the TC. Finally, we conclude that overshooting convection into the stratosphere causes the observed subsidence, as both become more pronounced with increasing sea-surface temperatures (SST)."}],"volume":53,"supplementarymaterial":"yes","scopus_import":"1","day":"16","article_type":"original","researchdata_availability":"yes","project":[{"_id":"629205d8-2b32-11ec-9570-e1356ff73576","name":"Organization of CLoUdS, and implications of Tropical cyclones and for the Energetics of the tropics, in current and waRming climate","grant_number":"805041","call_identifier":"H2020"}],"ddc":["550"],"publication":"Geophysical Research Letters","ec_funded":1},{"acknowledgement":"This work was supported by ERC CoG 863818 (ForMSMArt) and Austrian Science Fund (FWF) 10.55776/COE12.

An objective is a set of runs (or infinite trajectories) of the RMDP, and the value for an objective is the maximal probability that the agent can guarantee against the adversarial environment. We consider (a) reachability objectives, where given a target set of states, the goal is to eventually arrive at one of them; and (b) parity objectives, which are a canonical representation for ω-regular objectives. The qualitative analysis problem asks whether the objective can be ensured with probability 1. In this work, we study the qualitative problem for reachability and parity objectives on RMDPs without making any assumption over the structures of the RMDPs, e.g., unichain or aperiodic. Our contributions are twofold. We first present efficient algorithms with oracle access to uncertainty sets that solve qualitative problems of reachability and parity objectives. We then report experimental results demonstrating the effectiveness of our oracle-based approach on classical RMDP examples from the literature scaling up to thousands of states.","lang":"eng"}],"volume":40,"project":[{"name":"Formal Methods for Stochastic Models: Algorithms and Applications","grant_number":"863818","call_identifier":"H2020","_id":"0599E47C-7A3F-11EA-A408-12923DDC885E"},{"name":"Bilateral Artificial Intelligence (Chatterjee)","grant_number":"COE12","_id":"4029cfc7-b034-11f1-9e55-88ab2ff3b6ee"}],"page":"36137-36145","publication":"Proceedings of the 40th AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence","ec_funded":1,"fulldoi":"https://doi.org/10.1609/aaai.v40i43.40931","arxiv":1,"date_published":"2026-03-14T00:00:00Z","type":"conference","conference":{"name":"AAAI: Conference on Artificial Intelligence","end_date":"2026-01-27","start_date":"2026-01-20","location":"Singapore, Singapore"},"external_id":{"arxiv":["2505.04539"]},"date_created":"2026-04-12T22:01:50Z","publication_status":"published","main_file_link":[{"open_access":"1","url":"https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2505.04539"}],"OA_place":"repository","article_processing_charge":"No","month":"03","department":[{"_id":"KrCh"},{"_id":"GradSch"}],"OA_type":"green","quality_controlled":"1","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","status":"public","title":"Qualitative analysis of ω-regular objectives on robust MDPs","date_updated":"2026-09-16T07:27:43Z","year":"2026","doi":"10.1609/aaai.v40i43.40931","_id":"21717","author":[{"last_name":"Asadi","full_name":"Asadi, Ali","id":"02d96aae-000e-11ec-b801-cadd0a5eefbb","first_name":"Ali"},{"last_name":"Chatterjee","full_name":"Chatterjee, Krishnendu","first_name":"Krishnendu","id":"2E5DCA20-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000-0002-4561-241X"},{"last_name":"Kafshdar Goharshadi","full_name":"Kafshdar Goharshadi, Ehsan","first_name":"Ehsan","id":"103b4fa0-896a-11ed-bdf8-87b697bef40d","orcid":"0000-0002-8595-0587"},{"orcid":"0009-0007-5253-9170","id":"67638922-f394-11eb-9cf6-f20423e08757","first_name":"Mehrdad","full_name":"Karrabi, Mehrdad","last_name":"Karrabi"},{"last_name":"Shafiee","full_name":"Shafiee, Ali","id":"2783031a-7378-11f0-b2d0-f17f1db2ebad","first_name":"Ali"}],"oa":1,"publisher":"Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence","intvolume":" 40"},{"acknowledgement":"This work was partially supported by the ANRT under the French CIFRE Ph.D program in collaboration between NyxAir and Paris-Dauphine University (Contract: CIFRE N° 2022/0513), by the French Agence Nationale de la Recherche (ANR) under reference ANR-21-CE40-\r\n0020 (CONVERGENCE project), by Austrian Science Fund (FWF) 10.55776/COE12, and by the ERC CoG 863818 (ForM-SMArt) grant.","issue":"43","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"oa_version":"Preprint","publication_identifier":{"issn":["2159-5399"],"eissn":["2374-3468"]},"citation":{"ama":"Asadi A, Chatterjee K, Lurie D, Saona Urmeneta RJ.

The most basic objective is the reachability objective, where a target set must be eventually visited, and the more general parity objectives can model all omega-regular specifications. For such objectives, the computational analysis problems are the following: (a) qualitative analysis that asks whether the objective can be satisfied with probability 1 (almost-sure winning) or probability arbitrarily close to 1 (limit-sure winning); and (b) quantitative analysis that asks for the approximation of the optimal probability of satisfying the objective. For general POMDPs, almost-sure analysis for reachability objectives is EXPTIME-complete, but limit-sure and quantitative analyses for reachability objectives are undecidable; almost-sure, limit-sure, and quantitative analyses for parity objectives are all undecidable. A special class of POMDPs, called revealing POMDPs, has been studied recently in several works, and for this subclass the almost-sure analysis for parity objectives was shown to be EXPTIME-complete. In this work, we show that for revealing POMDPs the limit-sure analysis for parity objectives is EXPTIME-complete, and even the quantitative analysis for parity objectives can be achieved in EXPTIME."}],"volume":40,"project":[{"_id":"0599E47C-7A3F-11EA-A408-12923DDC885E","call_identifier":"H2020","grant_number":"863818","name":"Formal Methods for Stochastic Models: Algorithms and Applications"},{"grant_number":"COE12","name":"Bilateral Artificial Intelligence (Chatterjee)","_id":"4029cfc7-b034-11f1-9e55-88ab2ff3b6ee"}],"page":"36146-36154","publication":"Proceedings of the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence","ec_funded":1,"fulldoi":"https://doi.org/10.1609/aaai.v40i43.40932","arxiv":1,"type":"conference","date_published":"2026-03-14T00:00:00Z","conference":{"location":"Singapore, Singapore","start_date":"2026-01-20","name":"AAAI: Conference on Artificial Intelligence","end_date":"2026-01-27"},"external_id":{"arxiv":["2511.13134"]},"date_created":"2026-04-12T22:01:52Z","main_file_link":[{"open_access":"1","url":"https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2511.13134"}],"publication_status":"published","article_processing_charge":"No","month":"03","OA_place":"repository","department":[{"_id":"KrCh"}],"OA_type":"green","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","status":"public","quality_controlled":"1","title":"Revealing POMDPs: Qualitative and quantitative analysis for parity objectives","year":"2026","date_updated":"2026-09-16T07:28:33Z","doi":"10.1609/aaai.v40i43.40932","_id":"21722","oa":1,"corr_author":"1","author":[{"full_name":"Asadi, Ali","last_name":"Asadi","first_name":"Ali","id":"02d96aae-000e-11ec-b801-cadd0a5eefbb"},{"full_name":"Chatterjee, Krishnendu","last_name":"Chatterjee","orcid":"0000-0002-4561-241X","id":"2E5DCA20-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Krishnendu"},{"full_name":"Lurie, David","last_name":"Lurie","first_name":"David","id":"579a6c20-34cf-11f1-acbd-8c2f19cdb4da"},{"full_name":"Saona Urmeneta, Raimundo J","last_name":"Saona Urmeneta","orcid":"0000-0001-5103-038X","first_name":"Raimundo J","id":"BD1DF4C4-D767-11E9-B658-BC13E6697425"}],"intvolume":" 40","publisher":"Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence"},{"date_published":"2026-06-01T00:00:00Z","type":"conference","arxiv":1,"das_tickbox":"0","fulldoi":"https://doi.org/10.4230/LIPIcs.FORC.2026.2","month":"06","OA_place":"publisher","article_processing_charge":"No","OA_type":"gold","department":[{"_id":"ChLa"},{"_id":"GradSch"},{"_id":"MoHe"}],"publication_status":"published","date_created":"2026-06-28T22:01:34Z","conference":{"start_date":"2026-06-03","location":"Cambridge, MA; United States","name":"FORC: Symposium on Foundations of Responsible Computing","end_date":"2026-06-05"},"external_id":{"arxiv":["2511.17994"]},"article_number":"2:1-2:21","_id":"22146","year":"2026","date_updated":"2026-09-16T07:37:21Z","title":"Learning rate scheduling with matrix factorization for private training","doi":"10.4230/LIPIcs.FORC.2026.2","status":"public","quality_controlled":"1","has_accepted_license":"1","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","publisher":"Schloss Dagstuhl - Leibniz-Zentrum für Informatik","intvolume":" 368","oa":1,"author":[{"first_name":"Nikita","id":"4b14526e-14d2-11ed-ba64-c14c9553d137","last_name":"Kalinin","full_name":"Kalinin, Nikita"},{"full_name":"Andersson, Joel D","last_name":"Andersson","first_name":"Joel D","id":"4a893819-d954-11f0-89b1-e360bad9ccc5"}],"corr_author":"1","oa_version":"Published Version","tmp":{"short":"CC BY (4.0)","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)","image":"/images/cc_by.png"},"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"acknowledgement":"We thank Rasmus Pagh, Christoph Lampert and Jalaj Upadhyay for valuable\r\ncomments on an early draft.

Although correlated noise, in particular via matrix factorizations, has been shown to improve accuracy, prior theoretical work focused primarily on the prefix-sum workload. That workload assumes a constant learning rate, whereas in practice learning rate schedules are widely used to accelerate training and improve convergence. We close this gap by deriving general upper and lower bounds for a broad class of learning rate schedules in both single- and multi-epoch settings. Building on these results, we propose a learning-rate-aware factorization that achieves improvements over prefix-sum factorizations under both MaxSE and MeanSE error metrics. Our theoretical analysis yields memory-efficient constructions suitable for practical deployment, and experiments on CIFAR-10 and IMDB datasets confirm that schedule-aware factorizations improve accuracy in private training."}],"supplementarymaterial":"no","volume":368,"alternative_title":["LIPIcs"],"scopus_import":"1","day":"01","ec_funded":1,"ddc":["000"],"publication":"7th Symposium on Foundations of Responsible Computing"}]
