text: The mammalian brain stores glucose, the main circulating energy substrate,
as glycogen. In rodents, the cerebellum contains relatively high glycogen levels,
yet its cellular and subcellular distribution remains poorly defined. Using monoclonal
antibodies against glycogen, we examined its distribution in the mouse cerebellar
cortex. Glycogen was predominantly localized to Bergmann glia (BG) processes in
the molecular layer and was also detected in Purkinje cells (PCs), the principal
cerebellar neurons. To assess the functional significance of cerebellar glycogen,
we analyzed behavior in mice lacking glycogen synthase 1 (Gys1) in BG or PCs using
a floxed Gys1 line. Gys1 deficiency in either PCs or GFAP-positive cells reduced
anxiety-like behavior, whereas combined deletion caused PC degeneration and ataxia.
These findings reveal a critical role for glycogen metabolism in both astrocytes
and neurons in cerebellar function.

text: Selecting an appropriate divergence measure is a critical aspect of machine
learning, as it directly impacts model performance. Among the most widely used,
we find the Kullback–Leibler (KL) divergence, originally introduced in kinetic
theory as a measure of relative entropy between probability distributions. Just
as in machine learning, the ability to quantify the proximity of probability distributions
plays a central role in kinetic theory. In this paper, we present a comparative
review of divergence measures rooted in kinetic theory, highlighting their theoretical
foundations and exploring their potential applications in machine learning and
artificial intelligence.

text: "We prove the convergence of a modified Jordan–Kinderlehrer–Otto scheme to
a solution\r\nto the Fokker–Planck equation in Ω e R^d with general—strictly positive
and temporally\r\nconstant—Dirichlet boundary conditions. We work under mild assumptions
on the domain,\r\nthe drift, and the initial datum. In the special case where
Ω is an interval in R1, we prove\r\nthat such a solution is a gradient flow—curve
of maximal slope—within a suitable space of\r\nmeasures, endowed with a modified
Wasserstein distance. Our discrete scheme and modified\r\ndistance draw inspiration
from contributions by A. Figalli and N. Gigli [J. Math. Pures\r\nAppl. 94, (2010),
pp. 107–130], and J. Morales [J. Math. Pures Appl. 112, (2018), pp. 41–88]\r\non
an optimal-transport approach to evolution equations with Dirichlet boundary conditions.\r\nSimilarly
to these works, we allow the mass to flow from/to the boundary ∂Ω throughout\r\nthe
evolution. However, our leading idea is to also keep track of the mass at the
boundary\r\nby working with measures defined on the whole closure Ω . The driving
functional is a\r\nmodification of the classical relative entropy that also makes
use of the information at the\r\nboundary. As an intermediate result, when Ω is
an interval in R1, we find a formula for the\r\ndescending slope of this geodesically
nonconvex functional."

text: Dipolar (ℓ = 1) mixed modes have revealed a surprisingly weak differential
rotation between the core and the envelope of evolved solar-like stars. Quadrupolar
(ℓ = 2) mixed modes also contain information regarding internal dynamics but are
very rarely characterised due to their low amplitude and the challenging identification
of adjacent or overlapping rotationally split multiplets affected by near-degeneracy
effects. We aim to extend the broadly used asymptotic seismic diagnostics beyond
ℓ = 1 mixed modes by developing an analogue asymptotic description of ℓ = 2 mixed
modes while explicitly accounting for near-degeneracy effects that distort their
rotational multiplets. We have derived a new asymptotic formulation of near-degenerate
mixed ℓ = 2 modes that describes off-diagonal terms representing the interaction
between modes of adjacent radial orders. This formalism, expressed directly in
the mixed-mode basis, provides analytical expressions for the near-degeneracy
effects. We implemented the formalism within a global Bayesian mode-fitting framework
for a direct fit of all ℓ = 0, 1, 2 modes in the power spectrum density. We were
able to asymptotically model the asymmetric rotational splitting present in various
radial orders of ℓ = 2 modes observed in young red giant stars without the need
for any numerical stellar modelling. We applied our formalism to the Kepler target
KIC 7341231, and it yielded core and envelope rotation rates consistent with previous
numerical modelling while providing improved constraints from the global and model-independent
approach. We also characterised the new target, KIC 8179973, measuring its rotation
rate and mixed-mode parameters for the first time. As our framework relies on
a direct global fit, it allows for much better precision on the asteroseismic
parameters and rotation rate estimates than standard methods, yielding better
constraints for rotation inversions. We have placed the first observational constraints
on the asymptotic ℓ = 2 mixed-mode parameters (ΔΠ2, q2, and εg, 2), thus paving
the way towards the use of asymptotic seismology beyond ℓ = 1 mixed modes.

text: We compare three global kilometer-scale models (ICON, IFS and NICAM) to clarify
the advantages and challenges of high-resolution global weather and climate modeling,
using different approaches to represent convection, from fully parameterized to
fully explicit. Our analysis focuses on tropical precipitation characteristics
spanning a wide range of spatio-temporal scales—including the diurnal cycle, extreme
precipitation, convective organization, and the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO)—along
with interactions between convection and the thermodynamic environment. All three
models commonly show weaker convective organization with smaller precipitation
cells than observed, though the strength of the bias varies by model. This diversity
is introduced by differences in the representation of (a) convective initiation
affected by the convective sensitivity to moisture and (b) tropospheric moistening
associated with deep convection. Models with stronger thermodynamic-convection
coupling increase environmental moisture near convection, thereby enhancing convective
organization. This has important upscale effects on the MJO; while IFS and NICAM
capture its eastward propagation well, ICON has difficulty reproducing it. The
amplitudes and phases of precipitation diurnal cycles over land show much greater
disagreement among the models than over ocean, influenced by how convection is
initiated. Biases in rain evaporation and cold pool formation hinder the propagation
of mesoscale convection, leading to errors such as the misrepresentation of nocturnal
convection moving off the coast of Sumatra in IFS and ICON. These results highlight
the importance of thermodynamic-convection coupling in realistically simulating
tropical convection across scales. To improve this coupling, kilometer-scale models
require better representation of the interaction between resolved convection and
three-dimensional turbulent mixing.

text: The recent detection of solar equatorial Rossby waves has renewed interest
in the study of gravito-inertial waves propagating in the convective envelope
of solar-type stars. In particular, the ability of these envelope gravito-inertial
modes to couple with those trapped in the radiative interior could open up new
opportunities for probing the deep-layer dynamics of solar-type stars. The possibility
for such a coupling to occur is particularly favoured among pre-main-sequence
(PMS) solar-type stars. Indeed, due to the contraction of the protostellar object,
they are able to reach high rotation frequencies before nuclear reactions are
ignited and magnetic braking becomes the driving mechanism for their rotational
evolution. In this work, we studied the coupling between the envelope inertial
waves and the radiative interior g modes in PMS stars, focussing on the case of
prograde dipolar modes. We considered the cases of 0.5 M⊙ and 1 M⊙ PMS models,
each with three different scenarios of rotational evolution. We show that for
stars that have formed with a sufficient amount of angular momentum, this coupling
can occur in frequency ranges that are accessible to space-borne photometry, creating
inertial dips in the period spacing pattern. Using an asymptotic analysis, we
characterised the shape of these inertial dips to show that they depend on rotation
and on the stiffness of the convective-radiative interface.

text: Kapitza-Dirac scattering, the diffraction of matter waves from a standing
light field, is widely utilized in ultracold gases, but its behavior in the strongly
interacting regime is an open question. Here, we develop a numerically exact two-body
description of Kapitza-Dirac scattering for two contact-interacting atoms in a
one-dimensional harmonic trap subjected to a pulsed optical lattice, enabling
us to obtain the numerically exact dynamics. We map how interaction strength,
lattice depth, lattice wave number, and pulse duration reshape the diffraction
pattern, leading to an interaction-dependent population redistribution in real
and momentum space. By comparing the exact dynamics to an impulsive sudden-approximation
description, we delineate the parameter regimes where it remains accurate and
those, notably at strong attraction and small lattice wave number, where it fails.
Our results provide a controlled few-body benchmark for interacting Kapitza-Dirac
scattering and quantitative guidance for Kapitza-Dirac-based probes of ultracold
atomic systems.

text: Model checking undiscounted reachability and expected-reward properties on
Markov decision processes (MDPs) are key for the verification of systems that
act under uncertainty. Popular algorithms are policy iteration and variants of
value iteration; in tool competitions, most participants rely on the latter. These
algorithms generally need worst-case exponential time. However, the problem can
equally be formulated as a linear programme, solvable in polynomial time. In this
paper, we give a detailed overview of today’s state-of-the-art algorithms for
MDP model checking with a focus on performance and correctness. We highlight their
fundamental differences, and describe various optimizations and implementation
variants. We experimentally compare floating-point and exact-arithmetic implementations
of all algorithms on three benchmark sets using two probabilistic model checkers.
Our results show that (optimistic) value iteration is a sensible default, but
other algorithms are preferable in specific settings. This paper thereby provides
a guide for MDP verification practitioners—tool builders and users alike.

text: "In recent years there has been a massive increase in the amount of data generated
in a\r\ndecentralized manner. Ever more powerful edge devices, such as smartphones,
have become\r\nubiquitous in most societies on earth. Through text typed, photos
taken and apps used,\r\nthese devices, which we refer to as clients, generate
enormous amounts of high quality and\r\ncomplex data. Moreover, the nature of
these devices means the data they generate is often\r\nsensitive and privacy concerns
prevent it being gathered and stored in a central location. This\r\npresents a
challenge to the modern machine learning paradigm that requires central access\r\nto
large amounts of data. Federated learning (FL) has emerged as one of the answers
to\r\nthis problem. Rather than bringing the data to the model, FL sends the model
to the data.\r\nModel training takes place on device, with periodically synchronized
updates, allowing data to\r\nremain locally stored. While this approach offers
significant privacy advantages it comes with\r\nits own set of unique challenges.
These include: data heterogeneity, the notion that different\r\ndevices generate
data in distinct ways which can negatively impact training dynamics; systems\r\nheterogeneity,
meaning that different devices may have differing hardware specifications; high\r\ncommunication
costs, which are induced by the repeated transferring of models over the\r\nnetwork
and low device computational power, which limits the use of larger models on device.\r\nIn
this thesis we present a range of methods for federated learning. We focus primarily
on\r\nthe challenge of data heterogeneity, though the methods presented are designed
to be well\r\nadapted to the other challenges of a federated setting, such as
the constraints of limited\r\ncompute and communication overhead. We first present
a method for explicitly modeling client\r\ndata heterogeneity. The approach formulates
clients as samples from a certain probability\r\ndistribution and infers the parameters
of this distribution from the available training clients.\r\nThis learned distribution
then represents the heterogeneity present among the clients and can\r\nbe sampled
from in order to create new simulated clients that are similar to the real clients
we\r\nhave observed so far. Following this we present two methods for directly
dealing with data\r\nheterogeneity through personalization. Highly heterogeneous
client data distributions can mean\r\nthat learning a single global model becomes
suboptimal, and some form of personalization of\r\nmodels to each individual client
is required. Our approaches are based around hypernetworks,\r\nwhich we use to
generate personalized model parameters without the need for additional\r\ntraining
or finetuning. In the first approach we focus on generating full parameterizations
of\r\nclient models using learned embeddings of client data and labels, with a
hypernetwork located\r\non the central server. In the second approach we address
the more challenging scenario where\r\nwe want to generate a personalized model
for a client without any label information. The\r\nhypernetwork is trained to
generate a low dimensional representation of a client’s personalized\r\nmodel
parameters, allowing it to be transferred to and run on the client devices. In
our final\r\npresented method, we change our focus and rather than aim to directly
address the challenge\r\nof data heterogeneity, we instead ensure we are unaffected
by it. This is done in the context\r\nof k-means clustering and we present a method
for federated clustering with a focus on added\r\nprivacy guarantees."

text: This thesis examines how geometry and topology intersect in the representation,
transformation, and analysis of complex shapes. It considers how continuous manifolds
relate to their discrete analogues, how topological structures evolve in persistence
vineyards, and how tools from topological data analysis can illuminate problems
in mathematical physics. Central to this exploration is the question of how structure,
both geometric and topological, persists or changes under approximation, sampling,
or deformation. The work develops new approaches to skeletal and grid-based representations
of surfaces, reveals the full expressive capacity of persistence vineyards, and
applies topological methods to the longstanding problem of equilibria in electrostatic
fields. These threads braid together into a broader understanding of how topology
and geometry inform one another across theory, computation, and application.

text: 'In this work, we introduce and study what we believe is an intriguing and,
to the best of our knowledge, previously unknown connection between two areas
in computational topology, topological data analysis (TDA) and knot theory. Given
a function from a topological space to $\mathbb{R}$, TDA provides tools to simplify
and study the importance of topological features: in particular, the $l^{th}$-dimensional
persistence diagram encodes the $l$-homology in the sublevel set as the function
value increases as 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 track the evolution of points in the persistence diagram.
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. In this work, given
a link and value $l$, we construct a topological space and periodic family of
functions such that the closed $l$-vineyard contains this link. This shows that
vineyards are topologically as rich as one could possibly hope. Importantly, it
has at least two immediate consequences: First, monodromy of any periodicity can
occur in a $l$-vineyard, answering a variant of a question by [Arya et al 2024].
To exhibit this, we also reformulate monodromy in a more geometric way, which
may be of interest in itself. Second, distinguishing vineyards is likely to be
difficult given the known difficulty of knot and link recognition, which have
strong connections to many NP-hard problems.'

text: Quantum control of the many-body wavefunction is a central challenge in quantum
materials research, as it could yield a precise control knob to manipulate emergent
phenomena. Floquet engineering, the coherent dressing of quantum states with periodic
non-resonant optical fields, has become an important strategy for quantum control.
Most applications to solid-state systems have targeted weakly interacting or single-ion
states, leaving the manipulation of many-body wavefunctions largely unexplored.
Here we use Floquet engineering to achieve quantum control of a strongly correlated
Hubbard exciton in the one-dimensional Mott insulator Sr2CuO3. A non-resonant
mid-infrared optical field coherently dresses the exciton wavefunction, driving
its rotation between bright and dark states. We use resonant third-harmonic generation
to quantify ultrafast π/2 rotations on the Bloch sphere spanned by these exciton
states. Our work advances the quest towards programmable control of correlated
states and exciton-based quantum sensing.

text: "The initial–final mass relation (IFMR) links a star’s birth mass to the mass
of its white dwarf (WD) remnant, providing key constraints on stellar evolution.
Open clusters offer the most straightforward way to empirically determine the
IFMR, as their well-defined ages allow for direct progenitor lifetime estimates.
We construct the most comprehensive open cluster WD IFMR to date by combining
new spectroscopy of 22 WDs with an extensive literature review of WDs with strong
cluster associations. To minimize systematics, we restrict our analysis to spectroscopically
confirmed hydrogen-atmosphere (DA) WDs consistent with single-stellar origins.
We separately analyze a subset with reliable Gaia-based astrometric membership
assessments, as well as a full sample that adds WDs with strong cluster associations
whose membership cannot be reliably assessed with Gaia. The Gaia-based sample
includes 69 spectroscopically confirmed DA WDs, more than doubling the sample
size of previous Gaia-based open cluster IFMRs. The full sample, which includes
53 additional literature WDs,\r\nincreases the total number of cluster WDs by
over 50% relative to earlier works. We provide functional forms for both the Gaia-based
and full-sample IFMRs. The Gaia-based result useful for Mi � 2.67 M⊙ is Mf = [0.179
0.100H (Mi 3.84 M )] × (Mi 3.84 M ) + 0.628 M , where H(x) is the Heaviside step
function. Comparing our IFMR to recent literature, we identify significant deviations
from best-fit IFMRs derived from both Gaia-based volume-limited samples of field
WDs and double WD binaries, with the largest discrepancy occurring for initial
masses of about 5 M⊙."

text: 'Recent research in nanophotonics for scintillation-based imaging has demonstrated
promising improvements in scintillator performance. In parallel, advances in nanophotonics
have enabled wavefront control through metasurfaces, a capability that has transformed
fields such as microscopy by allowing tailored control of optical propagation.
This naturally raises the following question, which we address in this perspective:
can wavefront-control strategies be leveraged to improve scintillation-based imaging?
To answer this question, we explore nanophotonic- and metasurface-enabled wavefront
control in scintillators to mitigate image blurring arising from their intrinsically
diffuse light emission. While depth-of-field extension in scintillation faces
fundamental limitations absent in microscopy, this approach reveals promising
avenues, including stacked scintillators, selective spatial-frequency enhancement,
and X-ray energy-dependent imaging. These results clarify the key distinctions
in adapting wavefront engineering to scintillation and its potential to enable
tailored detection strategies.'

text: We provide a theoretical framework to describe the dynamics of a free-electron
beam interacting with quantized bound systems in arbitrary electromagnetic environments.
This expands the quantum optics toolbox to incorporate free-electron beams for
applications in highly tunable quantum control, imaging, and spectroscopy at the
nanoscale. The framework recovers previously studied results and shows that electromagnetic
environments can amplify the intrinsically weak coupling between a free-electron
and a bound electron to reach previously inaccessible interaction regimes. We
leverage this enhanced coupling for experimentally feasible protocols in coherent
qubit control and towards the nondestructive readout and projective control of
the electron beam's quantum-number statistics. Our framework is broadly applicable
to microwave-frequency qubits, optical nanophotonics, cavity quantum electrodynamics,
and emerging platforms at the interface of electron microscopy and quantum information.

text: Polarization-resolved control and measurement of the optical field are essential
for a wide range of photonic systems, including coherent communication, polarimetric
sensing, and quantum information processing. We present a photonic integrated
circuit that enables the generation and analysis of arbitrary polarization states.
The device provides reconfigurable access to the full polarization degree of freedom
of coherent light within a single integrated platform. We experimentally demonstrate
arbitrary polarization state generation spanning the Poincare sphere, as well
as Stokes vector measurement on chip. Unlike conventional Stokes measurements
that rely on direct detection, polarization analysis utilizing this architecture
is intrinsically non-destructive, preserving the optical signal for further optical
domain processing. The devices are fabricated in a commercial foundry using CMOS-compatible
processes, enabling scalable and reproducible integration. By combining polarization
generation and analysis in a compact and stable photonic circuit, this work eliminates
the need for external polarization optics and provides a foundation for robust,
polarization-enabled photonic integrated systems.

spinal cord progenitor domains generate an equivalent number of cardinal neuron
types. How progenitor domains, individual progenitors, and post-mitotic diversity
relate is still unknown. We performed high-resolution, single-progenitor cell
lineage tracing in the embryonic mouse spinal cord using mosaic analysis with
double markers (MADM). Our quantitative study of lineage progression revealed
that spinal cord progenitors undergo highly variable numbers of proliferative,
neurogenic, and gliogenic cell divisions. The nascent clonally-related neurons
migrate radially over large distances, span the dorsoventral axis, and even cross
the midline, demonstrating striking bilaterality. Molecular and morphometric analysis
indicate high levels of progenitor multipotency, with an individual progenitor
capable of producing several molecularly and morphologically distinct neuron types,
as well as astrocytes. These findings redefine spinal cord development as a process
in which lineage variability — rather than rigid progenitor identity — drives
the generation of cellular diversity.

text: Three-dimensional (3D) crystals offer a route to scaling up trapped-ion systems
for quantum sensing and quantum simulation applications; however, engineering
coherent spin-motion couplings and effective spin-spin interactions in large crystals
poses technical challenges associated with decoherence and prolonged timescales
to generate appreciable entanglement. Here, we explore the possibility of speeding
up these interactions in 3D crystals via parametric amplification. For this purpose,
we derive a general Hamiltonian for the parametric amplification of spin-motion
coupling that is broadly applicable to normal modes with motion transverse to
or along the spatial extent of the crystal. Unlike in lower-dimensional crystals,
we find that the ability to faithfully (uniformly) amplify the spin-spin interactions
in 3D crystals depends on the physical implementation of the spin-motion coupling.
We consider the light-shift gate, and the so-called phase-insensitive and phase-sensitive
Mølmer-Sørensen (MS) gates, and we find that only the phase-sensitive MS gate
can be faithfully amplified in general 3D crystals. We discuss a situation where
nonuniform amplification can be advantageous. We also reconsider the effect of
counter-rotating terms on parametric amplification and find that they are not
as detrimental as previous studies suggest.

text: "The Nakamoto consensus protocol underlying the Bitcoin blockchain uses proof
of work as a voting mechanism. Honest miners who contribute hashing power towards
securing the chain try to extend the longest chain they are aware of. Despite
its simplicity, Nakamoto consensus achieves meaningful security guarantees assuming
that at any point in time, a majority of the hashing power is controlled by honest
parties. This also holds under “resource variability”, i.e., if the total hashing
power varies greatly over time.\r\nProofs of space (PoSpace) have been suggested
as a more sustainable replacement for proofs of work. Unfortunately, no construction
of a “longest-chain” blockchain based on PoSpace, that is secure under dynamic
availability, is known. In this work, we prove that without additional assumptions
no such protocol exists. We exactly quantify this impossibility result by proving
a bound on the length of the fork required for double spending as a function of
the adversarial capabilities. This bound holds for any chain selection rule, and
we also show a chain selection rule (albeit a very strange one) that almost matches
this bound.\r\nThe Nakamoto consensus protocol underlying the Bitcoin blockchain

the honest parties at any point control 0 > 1\r\n times more space than the adversary.
The adversary can change the honest space by a factor 1+- E with every block (dynamic
availability), and “replotting” the space (which allows answering two challenges
using the same space) takes as much time as p blocks.\r\nWe prove that no matter
what chain selection rule is used, in this game the adversary can create a fork
of length o^2 . p/E that will be picked as the winner by the chain selection rule.\r\nWe
also provide an upper bound that matches the lower bound up to a factor o. There
exists a chain selection rule (albeit a very strange one) which in the above game
requires forks of length at least o . p/E\r\nOur results show the necessity of
additional assumptions to create a secure PoSpace based longest-chain blockchain.
The Chia network in addition to PoSpace uses a verifiable delay function. Our
bounds show that an additional primitive like that is necessary."
