Given such a decomposition, one can define a further summary of its flow structure by what is called a connection matrix. These matrices, a generalization of Morse boundary operators from classical Morse theory, capture the connections made by the flows among the critical structures—such as attractors, repellers, and orbits—in a vector field. Recently, in the context of combinatorial dynamics, an efficient persistence-like algorithm to compute connection matrices has been proposed in Dey, Lipiński, Mrozek, and Slechta [SIAM J. Appl. Dyn. Syst., 23 (2024), pp. 81–97]. We show that, actually, the classical persistence algorithm with exhaustive reduction retrieves connection matrices, both simplifying the algorithm of Dey et al. and bringing the theory of persistence closer to combinatorial dynamical systems. We supplement this main result with an observation: the concept of persistence as defined for scalar fields naturally adapts to Morse decompositions whose Morse sets are filtered with a Lyapunov function. We conclude by presenting preliminary experimental results.","lang":"eng"}],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"volume":25,"title":"Computing a connection matrix and persistence efficiently from a morse decomposition","year":"2026","day":"01","OA_type":"green","oa":1,"publication_status":"published","doi":"10.1137/25m1739406","main_file_link":[{"url":"https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2502.19369","open_access":"1"}],"ec_funded":1},{"doi":"10.1016/j.cub.2025.12.025","publication_status":"epub_ahead","main_file_link":[{"url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2025.12.025","open_access":"1"}],"ec_funded":1,"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"abstract":[{"text":"During complex vocal interactions, different features of acoustic stimuli are integrated to produce appropriate vocal responses,1 such as copying sounds during vocal matching behavior in some animals.2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 However, little is known about the interplay and possible trade-offs between the different temporal and spectral acoustic features during these vocal exchanges.2,13,14 Nightingales can flexibly match the pitch of their tonal “whistle songs” in real time during counter-singing duels.15,16 Here, we show that the syllable duration of whistle playbacks could alter the song responses of wild nightingales, causing their whistle duration distribution to shift toward the presented stimulus duration. When exposed to whistle playbacks featuring unnatural combinations of pitch and duration, nightingales demonstrate a flexible trade-off between pitch matching and temporal imitation, yet they are constrained by their vocal repertoire. They selectively adapted their vocal responses to approximate these novel stimuli, aligning them with their natural whistle repertoire. We developed a computational model of nightingale whistle-matching behavior that revealed a hierarchical organization of acoustic feature production. During whistle matching, the feature integration process is constrained by the duration of syllables, and pitch matching follows within this temporal framework, forcing a trade-off between the two features. Our findings reveal a complex interplay between the spectral and temporal domains that shapes song-matching behavior.","lang":"eng"}],"oa":1,"day":"12","OA_type":"hybrid","year":"2026","title":"Interplay between syllable duration and pitch during whistle matching in wild nightingales","article_processing_charge":"Yes (in subscription journal)","article_type":"original","scopus_import":"1","ddc":["570","577"],"type":"journal_article","publication":"Current Biology","PlanS_conform":"1","date_updated":"2026-01-20T07:33:32Z","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","oa_version":"Published Version","OA_place":"publisher","author":[{"last_name":"Calderon Garcia","first_name":"Juan Sebastian","id":"1271b54b-dbcd-11ea-9d1d-d92da838fe2c","full_name":"Calderon Garcia, Juan Sebastian"},{"full_name":"Costalunga, Giacomo","last_name":"Costalunga","first_name":"Giacomo"},{"orcid":"0000-0003-3295-6181","id":"CB6FF8D2-008F-11EA-8E08-2637E6697425","full_name":"Vogels, Tim P","first_name":"Tim P","last_name":"Vogels"},{"last_name":"Vallentin","first_name":"Daniela","full_name":"Vallentin, Daniela"}],"acknowledgement":"We would like to thank J.

Our experiment designs are motivated by land‐ocean heterogeneity of atmospheric convection. The steady and oscillating forcings are idealizations of ocean and land conditions, respectively, based on their differences in heat capacities. In both kinds of simulations, the diurnal mean SST and SOLIN are the same, and both SST and SOLIN are only varied in time (i.e., they are spatially homogeneous at any given time). We find that diurnally oscillating forcing accelerates CSA. Stronger long‐wave cooling in dry regions at night and during the warm SST phase (late afternoon) both allow the long‐wave feedback, known to favor aggregation, to intensify compared to steady forcing simulations. In addition to the long‐wave, reduced short‐wave warming in dry regions (during the day) further enhances radiative cooling there compared to moist regions. Overall, the radiative cooling is enhanced in dry regions compared to neighboring moist convective regions. A dry subsidence is driven by this net radiative (short‐wave plus long‐wave) cooling, consistent with earlier work on CSA. Stronger radiative cooling allows stronger subsidence which allows low‐level circulation to more efficiently transport moisture and energy up‐gradient, driving convection to aggregate faster. We also note a sensitivity of our experimental setup to initial conditions, more so at warmer SST. This stochastic behavior might be critical in reconciling the differences of opinion regarding the response of convection aggregation to oscillating SST forcing.","lang":"eng"}],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"article_number":"e2024MS004576","title":"Convective self‐aggregation in diurnally oscillating sea surface temperature and solar forcing experiments","volume":18,"year":"2026","day":"12","OA_type":"gold","oa":1,"publication_status":"published","doi":"10.1029/2024ms004576","ec_funded":1,"file_date_updated":"2026-01-21T08:39:01Z","publication_identifier":{"eissn":["1942-2466"]},"intvolume":"        18","issue":"1","_id":"21013","date_published":"2026-01-12T00:00:00Z","quality_controlled":"1","project":[{"grant_number":"805041","call_identifier":"H2020","name":"Organization of CLoUdS, and implications of Tropical  cyclones and for the Energetics of the tropics, in current and waRming climate","_id":"629205d8-2b32-11ec-9570-e1356ff73576"}],"tmp":{"legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/legalcode","name":"Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0)","image":"/images/cc_by_nc_nd.png","short":"CC BY-NC-ND (4.0)"},"status":"public","month":"01","publisher":"Wiley","citation":{"chicago":"GOSWAMI, BIDYUT B, Ziyin Lu, and Caroline J Muller. “Convective Self‐aggregation in Diurnally Oscillating Sea Surface Temperature and Solar Forcing Experiments.” <i>Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems</i>.

This decrease is manifested by a decrease of the mass transported in the upward branch of the atmospheric overturning circulation – the convective mass flux – and a connected decrease of high clouds in the tropics, with implications for climate sensitivity. By using kilometer-scale simulations in radiative-convective equilibrium and a convective tracking algorithm, we show that no such decrease occurs in storms when taken individually and that the mass transport per storm increases instead. Storms can achieve this result by aggregating more surface of the convective cores – the inner part of the storm doing the vertical transport – so that the decrease of tropical convection is actually explained by a decrease in the total number of storms. There is little variation of the mean pressure velocity in the cores of the storms, a robust finding of this study. This remarkable invariance of the mean pressure velocity points to an emerging property of convection that should receive more attention in future studies."}],"date_created":"2026-01-25T23:01:38Z","department":[{"_id":"CaMu"}],"publisher":"Springer Nature","citation":{"ieee":"M.

While the effects of grazing on individual forest attributes are well documented, their integrated consequences remain poorly understood, particularly in temperate forest ecosystems. We evaluated the combined influence of livestock grazing intensity and canopy cover on individual attributes and ecosystem multifunctionality in native Nothofagus forests of Tierra del Fuego, Argentina. Across eight ranches spanning two agroecological regions (Ecotone and Mountain Range), we quantified forest regeneration, understorey richness and biomass, and soil properties, integrating them into a multifunctionality index. Using generalized linear mixed models, we found strong context-dependence: in the Mountain Range, higher grazing intensity reduced seedling and sapling density, organic matter content, coarse woody debris, and overall multifunctionality. In the Ecotone, these effects of livestock use intensity were attenuated, and canopy cover diminished sapling density and multifunctionality, but moderate cover enhanced understorey. Our results extend multifunctionality research from grazed grasslands to grazed temperate forests and show that ecological responses and trade-offs vary across landscape units. We conclude that the Mountain Range is more vulnerable to grazing, requiring stricter management, whereas the Ecotone retains greater capacity to sustain multifunctionality under controlled livestock use intensity. These findings underscore the importance of region-specific silvopastoral strategies that reconcile food production with forest conservation in southern Patagonia and comparable temperate forest landscapes worldwide.","lang":"eng"}],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"article_number":"110219","year":"2026","title":"Context-dependent effects of livestock grazing on forest attributes and ecosystem multifunctionality in Nothofagus forests","volume":400,"OA_type":"closed access","day":"06","publication_status":"epub_ahead","doi":"10.1016/j.agee.2026.110219"},{"scopus_import":"1","ddc":["540"],"publication":"Chemical Engineering Science","type":"journal_article","PlanS_conform":"1","date_updated":"2026-02-12T13:05:19Z","article_type":"original","article_processing_charge":"Yes (in subscription journal)","abstract":[{"text":"The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) remains a critical bottleneck in fuel cells and metal-air batteries due to the lack of highly efficient electrocatalysts.

Within the heterostructure, hydrogen intercalation expands the Pd lattice, while interstitial hydrogen doping facilitates charge transfer from Pd to H owing to their electronegativity difference. These synergistic effects modulate the electronic structure, thereby enhancing both activity and stability. When employed in Zn-air batteries, PdH-Pd@CN delivers a maximum power density of 176 mW cm− (Liu et al., 2025) and capacity of 805 mAh g− (Sun et al., 2021) Zn.

Their spectra exhibit broad Balmer emission lines (>~1000 km s^−1), alongside absorption features and a pronounced Balmer break – evidence for a dense, neutral hydrogen medium, in which the n = 2 state is significantly populated. When interpreted as arising\r\nfrom active galactic nucleus broad-line regions, inferred black hole masses from local scaling relations exceed expectations given their stellar masses, challenging models of early black hole–galaxy co-evolution. However, radiative transfer effects in dense media may also impact the formation of hydrogen emission lines. We model three scattering processes shaping hydrogen\r\nline profiles: resonance scattering by hydrogen in the n = 2 state, Raman scattering of ultraviolet (UV) radiation by ground-state hydrogen, and Thomson scattering by free electrons. Using 3D Monte Carlo radiative transfer simulations, we examine their imprint on line shapes and ratios. Resonance scattering produces strong deviations from Case B flux ratios, clear differences\r\nbetween Hα and Hβ, and encodes gas kinematics in line profiles but cannot broaden Hβ due to conversion to Paα. While Raman scattering can yield broad wings, scattering of the UV continuum is disfavoured given the absence of strong full width at half-maximum variations across transitions. Raman scattering of higher Lyman-series emission can produce Hα/Hβ wing\r\nwidth ratios of  >~1.28, agreeing with observations. Thomson scattering can reproduce the observed >~ 1000 km s^−1 wings under plausible conditions – e.g. Te ∼ 10^4 K and Ne ∼ 10^24 cm^−2 – and lead to black hole mass overestimates by factors  10.

However, the nature and effect of the changes are material-dependent and unknown for the important class of Co-free, Ni-poor LRLOs. Here, we analyze the processes during the tailored formation procedure of a typical class member, Li1.28Ni0.15Mn0.57O2, and demonstrate that it remarkably changes lattice composition and structure as a prerequisite for stable cycling. We combine electrochemistry, operando mass spectrometry, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray absorption spectroscopy with density functional theory simulations. Activation most prominently compresses the layer spacing along the c-axis and increases reversible structural breathing. The large capacity of ∼250 mAh g–1 originates from the Ni2+/Ni4+ and O2–/O– redox couples. Electron exchange during O-redox is smeared over the entire anionic sublattice rather than localized on specific oxygen atomic sites. This redox mechanism is reversible without detrimental oxygen evolution, avoiding continued degradation common in conventional LRLOs. Sequential Ni- and O-redox during activation irreversibly distorts the coordination of the redox-inactive Mn4+ centers. This structural evolution of the MnO6 octahedra appears to enable the superior electrochemical performance of this LRLO phase. These findings define an activation pathway for the important class of Co-free, Ni-poor LRLOs, offering potential guidance for the rational design of high-performance, more sustainable cathode materials.","lang":"eng"}],"corr_author":"1","acknowledged_ssus":[{"_id":"M-Shop"},{"_id":"LifeSc"}],"article_processing_charge":"Yes (via OA deal)","article_type":"original","type":"journal_article","publication":"ACS Applied Energy Materials","date_updated":"2026-02-12T14:04:04Z","PlanS_conform":"1","scopus_import":"1","ddc":["540"],"OA_place":"publisher","author":[{"first_name":"Matteo","last_name":"Busato","full_name":"Busato, Matteo"},{"full_name":"Tuccillo, Mariarosaria","last_name":"Tuccillo","first_name":"Mariarosaria"},{"first_name":"Arcangelo","last_name":"Celeste","full_name":"Celeste, Arcangelo"},{"first_name":"Alessandro","last_name":"Tofoni","full_name":"Tofoni, Alessandro"},{"full_name":"Silvestri, Laura","first_name":"Laura","last_name":"Silvestri"},{"first_name":"Paola","last_name":"D’Angelo","full_name":"D’Angelo, Paola"},{"full_name":"Freunberger, Stefan Alexander","orcid":"0000-0003-2902-5319","id":"A8CA28E6-CE23-11E9-AD2D-EC27E6697425","first_name":"Stefan Alexander","last_name":"Freunberger"},{"last_name":"Brutti","first_name":"Sergio","full_name":"Brutti, Sergio"}],"user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","oa_version":"Published Version","file":[{"file_size":5977526,"checksum":"81272c19df41c696c1737168d3ea8c16","success":1,"file_name":"2026_AppliedEnergyMaterials_Busato.pdf","relation":"main_file","access_level":"open_access","date_created":"2026-02-12T13:55:28Z","content_type":"application/pdf","creator":"dernst","date_updated":"2026-02-12T13:55:28Z","file_id":"21222"}],"acknowledgement":"Elettra-Sincrotrone Trieste S.C.p.A. and its staff are acknowledged for providing synchrotron radiation beamtime and laboratory facilities, in particular the MCX and XAFS beamlines, where the XRD and XAS experiments have been carried out, supported by the projects number: 20217082, 20205109, and 20195014.

In this context, a trusted program component is said to be robustly safe if it behaves safely when linked against arbitrary untrusted code. Prior work has shown how various encapsulation mechanisms (in both high- and low-level languages) can be used to protect code so that it is robustly safe, but none of the existing work has explored how robust safety can be achieved in a patently unsafe language like C.\r\nIn this paper, we show how to bring robust safety to a simple yet representative C-like language we call Rec. Although Rec (like C) is inherently ”dangerous” and thus not robustly safe, we can ”save” Rec programs via compilation to Cap, a CHERI-like capability machine. To formalize the benefits of such a hardening compiler, we develop Reckon, a separation logic for verifying robust safety of Rec programs. Reckon is not sound under Rec’s unsafe, C-like semantics, but it is sound when Rec programs are hardened via compilation and linked against untrusted code running on Cap. As a crucial step in proving soundness of Reckon, we introduce a novel technique of semantic back-translation, which we formalize by building on the DimSum framework for multi-language semantics. All our results are mechanized in the Rocq prover."}],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"file_date_updated":"2026-02-12T13:51:03Z","publication_status":"published","doi":"10.1145/3776682","publication":"Proceedings of the ACM on Programming Languages","type":"journal_article","PlanS_conform":"1","date_updated":"2026-02-12T13:53:04Z","scopus_import":"1","ddc":["000"],"article_type":"original","article_processing_charge":"Yes (via OA deal)","file":[{"file_id":"21221","date_updated":"2026-02-12T13:51:03Z","creator":"dernst","content_type":"application/pdf","date_created":"2026-02-12T13:51:03Z","access_level":"open_access","relation":"main_file","file_name":"2026_ProcACMProgrammingLanguages_Mueck.pdf","checksum":"79be391061efbf9542638996959ce11a","file_size":1058876,"success":1}],"has_accepted_license":"1","author":[{"full_name":"Mück, Niklas","last_name":"Mück","first_name":"Niklas"},{"last_name":"Georges","first_name":"Aïna Linn","full_name":"Georges, Aïna Linn"},{"full_name":"Dreyer, Derek","first_name":"Derek","last_name":"Dreyer"},{"last_name":"Garg","first_name":"Deepak","full_name":"Garg, Deepak"},{"id":"510d3901-2a03-11ee-914d-d9ae9011f0a7","full_name":"Sammler, Michael Joachim","last_name":"Sammler","first_name":"Michael Joachim"}],"OA_place":"publisher","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","oa_version":"Published Version","date_published":"2026-01-08T00:00:00Z","quality_controlled":"1","_id":"21041","intvolume":"        10","publication_identifier":{"eissn":["2475-1421"]},"citation":{"ama":"Mück N, Georges AL, Dreyer D, Garg D, Sammler MJ.

A common approach to scale execution is parallel execution engines that fully utilize modern multi-core architectures. Parallel execution is then either done optimistically, by executing transactions in parallel and detecting conflicts on the fly, or guided, by requiring exhaustive client transaction hints and scheduling transactions accordingly.\r\n\r\nHowever, recent studies have shown that the performance of parallel execution engines depends on the nature of the underlying workload. In fact, in some cases, only a 60% speed-up compared to sequential execution could be obtained. This is the case, as transactions that access the same resources must be executed sequentially. For example, if 10% of the transactions in a block access the same resource, the execution cannot meaningfully scale beyond 10 cores. Therefore, a single popular application can bottleneck the execution and limit the potential throughput.\r\n\r\nIn this paper, we introduce Anthemius, a block construction algorithm that optimizes parallel transaction execution throughput. We evaluate Anthemius exhaustively under a range of workloads, and show that Anthemius enables the underlying parallel execution engine to process over twice as many transactions.","lang":"eng"}],"corr_author":"1","OA_type":"green","day":"01","conference":{"start_date":"2025-04-14","end_date":"2025-04-18","name":"FC: Financial Cryptography and Data Security","location":"Miyakojima, Japan"},"oa":1,"volume":15751,"title":"Anthemius: Efficient and modular block assembly for concurrent execution","alternative_title":["LNCS"],"year":"2026"},{"author":[{"full_name":"Kniep, Quentin","last_name":"Kniep","first_name":"Quentin"},{"first_name":"Eleftherios","last_name":"Kokoris Kogias","orcid":"0000-0002-8827-3382","full_name":"Kokoris Kogias, Eleftherios","id":"f5983044-d7ef-11ea-ac6d-fd1430a26d30"},{"last_name":"Sonnino","first_name":"Alberto","full_name":"Sonnino, Alberto"},{"first_name":"Igor","last_name":"Zablotchi","full_name":"Zablotchi, Igor"},{"full_name":"Zhang, Nuda","first_name":"Nuda","last_name":"Zhang"}],"arxiv":1,"external_id":{"arxiv":["2401.16292"]},"OA_place":"repository","oa_version":"Preprint","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","citation":{"chicago":"Kniep, Quentin, Eleftherios Kokoris Kogias, Alberto Sonnino, Igor Zablotchi, and Nuda Zhang. “Pilotfish: Distributed Execution for Scalable Blockchains.” In <i>29th International Conference on Financial Cryptography and Data Security</i>, 15751:287–306.

While cloud systems have achieved scalable architectures, blockchain systems remain constrained by the need to over-provision validator machines to handle peak load. This leads to resource inefficiency, poor cost scaling, and limits on performance. To address these challenges, we introduce Pilotfish, the first scale-out transaction execution engine for blockchains. Pilotfish enables validators to scale horizontally by distributing transaction execution across multiple worker machines, allowing elasticity without compromising consistency or determinism. It integrates seamlessly with the lazy blockchain architecture, completing the missing piece of execution elasticity. To achieve this, Pilotfish tackles several key challenges: ensuring scalable and strongly consistent distributed transactions, handling partial crash recovery with lightweight replication, and maintaining concurrency with a novel versioned-queue scheduling algorithm. Our evaluation shows that Pilotfish scales linearly up to at least eight workers per validator for compute-bound workloads, while maintaining low latency. By solving scalable execution, Pilotfish brings blockchains closer to achieving end-to-end elasticity, unlocking new possibilities for efficient and adaptable blockchain systems.","lang":"eng"}],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"article_processing_charge":"No","date_updated":"2026-02-16T07:56:09Z","type":"conference","publication":"29th International Conference on Financial Cryptography and Data Security","scopus_import":"1"},{"author":[{"last_name":"Torralba Torregrosa","first_name":"Alberto","id":"018f0249-0e87-11f0-b167-cbce08fbd541","full_name":"Torralba Torregrosa, Alberto","orcid":"0000-0001-5586-6950"},{"orcid":"0000-0003-2871-127X","id":"7439a258-f3c0-11ec-9501-9df22fe06720","full_name":"Matthee, Jorryt J","first_name":"Jorryt J","last_name":"Matthee"},{"full_name":"Pezzulli, Gabriele","last_name":"Pezzulli","first_name":"Gabriele"},{"full_name":"Urrutia, Tanya","last_name":"Urrutia","first_name":"Tanya"},{"full_name":"Gronke, Max","first_name":"Max","last_name":"Gronke"},{"first_name":"Sara","last_name":"Mascia","id":"edaf889c-c7cd-11ef-ab1b-bb28c431bd29","full_name":"Mascia, Sara"},{"full_name":"D’Eugenio, Francesco","last_name":"D’Eugenio","first_name":"Francesco"},{"last_name":"Di Cesare","first_name":"Claudia","id":"2d002343-372f-11ef-98ec-a164d20427cb","full_name":"Di Cesare, Claudia"},{"full_name":"Eilers, Anna Christina","first_name":"Anna Christina","last_name":"Eilers"},{"last_name":"Greene","first_name":"Jenny E.","full_name":"Greene, Jenny E."},{"id":"4053390a-6b68-11ef-9828-a3b8adef8d0a","full_name":"Iani, Edoardo","orcid":"0000-0001-8386-3546","first_name":"Edoardo","last_name":"Iani"},{"full_name":"Ishikawa, Yuzo","last_name":"Ishikawa","first_name":"Yuzo"},{"full_name":"Mackenzie, Ruari","last_name":"Mackenzie","first_name":"Ruari"},{"last_name":"Naidu","first_name":"Rohan P.","full_name":"Naidu, Rohan P."},{"full_name":"Navarrete, Benjamín","id":"aa14a535-50c9-11ef-b52e-e0c373d10148","last_name":"Navarrete","first_name":"Benjamín"},{"full_name":"Kotiwale, Gauri","id":"1438afc8-1ff6-11ee-9fa6-cd4a75d66875","first_name":"Gauri","last_name":"Kotiwale"}],"external_id":{"arxiv":["2505.09542"]},"arxiv":1,"OA_place":"publisher","oa_version":"Published Version","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","has_accepted_license":"1","acknowledgement":"We thank the anonymous referee for constructive and useful comments.

Perhaps the most surprising features of this population are the presence of Balmer absorption and ubiquitous strong Balmer breaks. Recent models link these features to an active supermassive black hole (SMBH) cocooned in very dense gas (NH ∼ 1024 cm−2). We present a stringent test of such models using VLT/MUSE observations of A2744-45924, the most luminous LRD known to date (LHα ≈ 1044 erg s−1), located behind the Abell-2744 lensing cluster at z = 4.464 (μ = 1.8). We detect a moderately extended Lyα nebula (h ≈ 5.7 pkpc), spatially offset from the point-like Hα seen by JWST by ≈1.6 pkpc. The Lyα emission is narrow (FWHM = 270 ± 15 km s−1), and faint (Lyα = 0.07Hα) compared to Lyα nebulae typically observed around quasars of similar luminosity. We detect compact N IV]λ1486 emission, spatially aligned with Hα, and a spatial shift in the far-UV continuum matching the Lyα offset. We discuss that Hα and Lyα have distinct physical origins: Hα originates from the AGN, while Lyα is powered by star formation. In the environment of A2744-45924, we identified four extended Lyα halos (Δz < 0.02, Δr < 100 pkpc). Their Lyα luminosities match the expectations based on Hα emission, and show no evidence for radiation from A2744-45924 affecting its surroundings. The lack of strong, compact, and broad Lyα and the absence of a luminous extended halo, suggest that the UV AGN light is obscured by dense gas cloaking the SMBH with a covering factor close to unity."}],"article_number":"A147","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"article_type":"original","article_processing_charge":"No","date_updated":"2026-02-16T07:46:53Z","PlanS_conform":"1","type":"journal_article","publication":"Astronomy and Astrophysics","ddc":["520"],"scopus_import":"1"},{"external_id":{"arxiv":["2504.11203"]},"arxiv":1,"author":[{"first_name":"Erin W.","last_name":"Chambers","full_name":"Chambers, Erin W."},{"last_name":"Fillmore","first_name":"Christopher D","full_name":"Fillmore, Christopher D","id":"35638A5C-AAC7-11E9-B0BF-5503E6697425"},{"first_name":"Elizabeth R","last_name":"Stephenson","orcid":"0000-0002-6862-208X","full_name":"Stephenson, Elizabeth R","id":"2D04F932-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87"},{"first_name":"Mathijs","last_name":"Wintraecken","full_name":"Wintraecken, Mathijs","id":"307CFBC8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000-0002-7472-2220"}],"OA_place":"repository","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","related_material":{"record":[{"relation":"earlier_version","status":"public","id":"21051"}]},"oa_version":"Preprint","acknowledgement":"We thank the reviewers for both SODA and ATMCS for their comments, whichimproved the exposition.

Given a function from a topological space to ℝ, TDA provides tools to simplify and study the importance of topological features: in particular, the 𝑙^𝑡⁢ℎ-dimensional persistence diagram encodes the topological changes (or 𝑙-homology) in the sublevel set as the function value increases into a set of points in the plane. Given a continuous one parameter family of such functions, we can combine the persistence diagrams into an object known as a vineyard, which tracks the evolution of points in the persistence diagram as the function changes. If we further restrict that family of functions to be periodic, we identify the two ends of the vineyard, yielding a closed vineyard. This allows the study of monodromy, which in this context means that following the family of functions for a period permutes the set of points in a non-trivial way. Recent work has studied monodromy in the directional persistent homology transform, demonstrating some interesting connections between an input shape and monodromy in the persistent homology transform for 0-dimensional homology embedded in ℝ^2.\r\nIn this work, given a link and a value 𝑙, we construct a topological space (based on the given link) and periodic family of functions on this space (based on the Euclidean distance function), such that the closed 𝑙-vineyard contains this link. This shows that vineyards are topologically as rich as one could possibly hope, suggesting many future directions of work. Importantly, it has at least two immediate consequences we explicitly point out:\r\n1.\tMonodromy of any periodicity can occur in a 𝑙-vineyard for any 𝑙. This answers a variant of a question by Arya and collaborators. To exhibit this as a consequence of our first main result we also reformulate monodromy in a more geometric way, which may be of interest in itself.\r\n2.\tTopologically distinguishing closed vineyards is likely to be difficult (from a complexity theory as well as from a practical perspective) because of the difficulty of knot and link recognition, which have strong connections to many NP-hard problems.","lang":"eng"}],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"article_processing_charge":"No","editor":[{"full_name":"Green Larsen, Kasper","last_name":"Green Larsen","first_name":"Kasper"},{"full_name":"Saha, Barna","first_name":"Barna","last_name":"Saha"}],"publication":"Proceedings of the 2026 Annual ACM-SIAM Symposium on Discrete Algorithms","type":"book_chapter","date_updated":"2026-02-16T08:06:23Z"},{"article_processing_charge":"No","type":"conference","publication":"The 14th International Conference on Learning Representations","date_updated":"2026-02-16T08:15:11Z","ddc":["000"],"main_file_link":[{"open_access":"1","url":"https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2510.13583"}],"publication_status":"accepted","year":"2026","title":"On the identifiability of causal graphs with multiple environments","oa":1,"conference":{"start_date":"2026-04-23","end_date":"2026-04-27","location":"Rio de Janeiro, Brazil","name":"ICLR: International Conference on Learning Representations"},"OA_type":"gold","day":"11","abstract":[{"lang":"eng","text":"Causal discovery from i.i.d. observational data is known to be generally ill-posed.
