text: 'Social network graphs are central to graph learning research, serving as
standard benchmarks for algorithm evaluation. However, existing datasets focus
mainly on mainstream social media platforms whose structures are shaped notably
by algorithmic recommendations. This raises an important question: would alternative,
decentralized social networks exhibit different properties? We address this by
studying the Fediverse; a collection of decentralized social networks (such as
Mastodon and Lemmy). These platforms differ fundamentally from for-profit social
media, notably in decentralization and absence of recommendation algorithms, which
may yield distinct graph structures. We introduce Fedivertex, a dataset of over
400 graphs from seven decentralized networks, collected weekly over six months.
The dataset, released with a companion Python package to facilitate its use, supports
research on temporal and structural aspects of decentralized social networks.
In particular, we benchmark applications to decentralized machine learning and
community detection.'

text: "Population protocols are a model of distributed computing where\r\n\U0001D45B
agents, each a simple finite-state machine, interact in pairs to\r\nsolve a common
task against a (adversarial) interaction scheduler.\r\nThis model was intensively
studied in recent years; in particular,\r\nthe problem of relative majority received
much attention: Each\r\nagent starts with an input opinion (or color) out of \U0001D458
possibilities,\r\nand the goal is for each agent to eventually output the color
with\r\nthe largest support in the population. Before our work, the state\r\ncomplexity
(the minimum number of states required per agent) was\r\nonly known to be between
Ω(\U0001D458\r\n2\r\n) and\U0001D442(\U0001D458\r\n7\r\n). Our main contribution\r\nis
a population protocol that solves the relative majority problem\r\nwith \U0001D458\r\n3\r\nstates.
We achieve this result with a new protocol called\r\nCircles. While prior approaches
in the literature relied on duels of\r\nagents to find the majority color — an
approach that proved effective\r\nfor the case with two colors — Circles partitions
the agents into\r\ncircular linked lists of decreasing sizes, with the property
that no\r\ntwo agents with the same initial color lie in the same circle. We\r\nshow
that Circles always correctly computes the desired structure\r\nagainst the most
adversarial of schedulers (weakly fair). We then\r\nshow that a trivial extension
of Circles solves the relative majority\r\nproblem. We extend our protocol to
handle various tie-breaking\r\nmechanisms or to support the case where the agents
do not share a\r\nprior ordering of the colors. Finally, we show that a modification
of\r\nCircles solves the ranking problem with 2 · \U0001D458^4\r\nstates, where
each\r\nagent must output the rank of its initial color in the population."

text: We present a discretization of the dynamic optimal transport problem for which
we can obtain the convergence rate for the value of the transport cost to its
continuous value when the temporal and spatial stepsize vanish. This convergence
result does not require any regularity assumption on the measures, though experiments
suggest that the rate is not sharp. Via an analysis of the duality gap we also
obtain the convergence rates for the gradient of the optimal potentials and the
velocity field under mild regularity assumptions. To obtain such rates we discretize
the dual formulation of the dynamic optimal transport problem and use the mature
literature related to the error due to discretizing the Hamilton-Jacobi equation.

text: High-voltage disordered spinel LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 is a promising cathode material
for high power density in lithium-ion batteries. However, it suffers from poor
cycle life associated with the rock-salt phase transformation. This study presents
a straightforward synthesis approach to enhance the electrochemical performance
of LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 through a synergistic solid-state modification with LiF and
AlF3. This dual modification promotes rapid Li⁺ diffusion, enables near-complete
delithiation/lithiation, approaching the theoretical capacity of disordered LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4,
and, more importantly, effectively mitigates the formation of the rock-salt phase,
thereby enhancing structural stability, as confirmed by operando X-ray absorption
spectroscopy (XAS) and synchrotron X-ray diffraction (SXRD). As a result, the
optimized LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 (10 mg AlF3 + 30 mg LiF) delivers high reversible capacities
of 142.1, 139.1, 129.2, 121.6, 110.3, 93.5, and 76.1 mAh∙g−1 at 0.2C, 0.5C, 1.0C,
2.0C, 3.0C, 4.0C, and 5.0C, respectively. Full cells using graphite as the anode
and a high-loading cathode exhibit excellent cycling performance. They retain
80% of their capacity after 200 cycles at 0.5C within a voltage window of 3.5–4.9
V with cathode loading of 11 mg∙cm−2. The findings of this study will significantly
advance high-power LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 materials, offering improved battery life and
thereby enhancing their potential for practical applications.

text: Effective immune responses rely on the efficient migration of leukocytes.
Yet, how temperature regulates migration dynamics at the single-cell level has
remained poorly understood. Using zebrafish embryos and mouse tissue explants,
we found that temperature positively regulates leukocyte migration speed, exploration,
and arrival frequencies to wounds and lymph vessels. Complementary 2D and 3D cultures
revealed that this thermokinetic control of cell migration is conserved across
immune cell types, independently of the 3D tissue environment. By applying precise
(sub-)cellular temperature modulation, we identified a rapid and reversible thermo-response
that depends on myosin II activity. Small physiological increases in temperature
(1°C –2°C), as present during fever-like conditions, profoundly increased immune
responses by accelerating arrival times at lymphatic vessels and tissue wounds.
These findings identify myosin-II-dependent actomyosin contractility as a critical
mechanical structure regulating single-cell thermo-adaptability, with physiological
implications for tuning the speed of immune responses in vivo.

text: Photo-responsive systems based on azobenzenes usually require UV light for
E→Z isomerization, limiting their applicability, especially in biomedical contexts.
Disequilibration by sensitization of azobenzene under confinement (DESC) has recently
emerged as a supramolecular strategy to bypass this limitation without the need
to derivatize the azobenzene scaffold. Here, we expand DESC to water-soluble azopolymers
obtained by RAFT polymerization and systematically investigate the interplay between
the polymer structure and DESC efficiency. Using this approach, we achieved as
much as 85% of the direct photoexcitation (UV) switching efficiency, while utilizing
low-energy (yellow) light. These results establish general design principles for
combining DESC with polymeric systems, opening new opportunities for the development
of functional materials driven with low-energy light.

text: 'We prove normal typicality and dynamical typicality for a (centered) random
block-band matrix model with block-dependent variances. A key feature of our model
is that we achieve intermediate equilibration times, an aspect that has not been
proven rigorously in any model before. Our proof builds on recently established
concentration estimates for products of resolvents of Wigner type random matrices
(Erdős and Riabov in Commun Math Phys 405(12): 282, 2024) and an intricate analysis
of the deterministic approximation.'

text: We prove that the zero-fiber of the moment map of a totally negative quiver
has rational singularities. Our proof consists in generalizing dimension bounds
on jet spaces of this fiber, which were introduced by Budur. We also transfer
the rational singularities property to other moduli spaces of objects in 2-Calabi-Yau
categories, based on recent work of Davison. This has interesting arithmetic applications
on quiver moment maps and moduli spaces of objects in 2-Calabi-Yau categories.
First, we generalize results of Wyss on the asymptotic behaviour of counts of
jets of quiver moment maps over finite fields. Moreover, we interpret the limit
of counts of jets on a given moduli space as its p-adic volume under a canonical
measure analogous to the measure built by Carocci, Orecchia and Wyss on certain
moduli spaces of coherent sheaves.

text: CuAgSe-based materials are attractive for low-temperature thermoelectric (TE)
applications but are limited by bipolar conduction and relatively high thermal
conductivity. Herein, we report a ligand-free aqueous synthesis of Te-doped CuAgSe
(CuAgSe1-xTex), where structural and electronic modulation improve carrier transport
and suppress phonon propagation. Ex-situ time-resolved X-ray diffraction reveals
a spontaneous growth mechanism, while density functional theory calculations show
that Te-5s and 5p orbitals hybridization generates localized states and an asymmetric
density of states, thereby enhancing the Seebeck coefficient. Electron microscopy
and strain analyses confirm that Te-doping introduces a high density of lattice
dislocations and grain boundaries, leading to a reduced lattice thermal conductivity
of 0.11 W m−1K−1 at 443 K. These synergistic effects translate into device-level
performance—the first integrated CuAgSe thermoelectric modules, exhibit a maximum
cooling temperature difference of 27.3 K, and power density of 0.34 W cm−2 with
a conversion efficiency of 3.6% at a modest temperature gradient of 136 K. These
results demonstrate that CuAgSe1-xTex enables efficient energy harvesting and
localized cooling under small temperature gradient, underscoring the importance
of structural and electronic design beyond conventional zT benchmarks.

text: With the growing interest in blockchains, permissioned approaches to consensus
have received increasing attention. Unfortunately, the BFT consensus algorithms
that are the backbone of most of these blockchains scale poorly and offer limited
throughput. In fact, many state-of-the-art BFT consensus algorithms require a
single leader process to receive and validate votes from a quorum of processes
and then broadcast the result, which is inherently non-scalable. Recent approaches
avoid this bottleneck by using dissemination/aggregation trees to propagate values
and collect and validate votes. However, the use of trees increases the round
latency, which limits the throughput for deeper trees. In this paper we propose
Kauri, a BFT communication abstraction that sustains high throughput as the system
size grows by leveraging a novel pipelining technique to perform scalable dissemination
and aggregation on trees. Furthermore, when the number of faults is moderate (arguably
the most common case in practice), our construction is able to recover from faults
in an optimal number of reconfiguration steps. We implemented and experimentally
evaluated Kauri with up to 800 processes. Our results show that Kauri outperforms
the throughput of state-of-the-art permissioned blockchain protocols, by up to
58x without compromising latency. Interestingly, in some cases, the parallelization
provided by Kauri can also decrease the latency.

text: 'The Birkhoff conjecture says that the boundary of a strictly convex integrable
billiard table is necessarily an ellipse. In this article, we consider a stronger
notion of integrability, namely, integrability close to the boundary, and prove
a local version of this conjecture: a small perturbation of almost every ellipse
that preserves integrability near the boundary, is itself an ellipse. We apply

text: Rodents' ability to encode the whisking phase has been extensively documented
through neuronal recordings from ascending sensory pathways. Yet, while indicating
that reafference originates from the mechanoreceptors, the mechanistic underpinnings
of the whisking phase encoding within the follicle remain unclear. Here we present
anatomical, histological, and biomechanical evidence for the presence of a distinctive
elastic segment (ES) within the basal part of the whisker shaft inside the follicle.
This ES, composed of immature keratin, is capable of both bending and twisting.
Forces generated by whisker movement deform this segment, causing whisker shaft
deflections that can stimulate specific mechanoreceptor subsets within the follicle
at different phases of the whisking cycle. This mechanism appears to operate during
both free‐air whisking and object contact. We propose that the ES enables torsion‐based
mechanoreceptor activation, allowing encoding of the whisking phase.

text: High-entropy alloys (HEAs) show great potential for catalyzing complex multi-step
reactions, but optimizing their parameters, i.e., composition, but also their
crystallinity and morphology, remains a significant challenge. In this study,
FeCoNiMoW HEAs are synthesized into either amorphous nanosheets (HEANS) or crystalline
nanoparticles (HEANP), which are then used to catalyze the lithium–sulfur (Li–S)
reaction of Li–S batteries (LSBs). Evaluations in symmetric cells, coin cells,
and pouch cells reveal that HEANS significantly enhance LSB performance, achieving
initial discharge capacities up to 1632 mAh g−1. The batteries also exhibit excellent
cycling stability over 1000 cycles at 3Cand maintain high-rate performance up
to 10C with a capacity of 614 mAh g−1. Comprehensive in situ analyses and density
functional theory calculations demonstrate that amorphous HEANS provide more active
sites, better ionic conductivity and stronger chemical interactions with lithium
polysulfides (LiPS). These properties effectively suppress the shuttle effect,
promote the complete S8 → Li2S conversion by reducing the impedance of the solid-electrolyte
interphase, and accelerate the Li2S4 → Li2S2 step by lowering the nucleation energy
barrier. Overall, this study highlights the superior catalytic properties of amorphous
2D HEAs in LSBs and offers new insights into the mechanisms of LiPS conversion.

we use a cloud-resolving model in radiative–convective equilibrium with an imposed
constant rate of radiative cooling and study the response of moist convection
to varying this rate of radiative cooling. In particular, we study two types of
simulation: varying air temperature (VAT) simulations, where the air temperature
is allowed to adjust to the imposed radiative cooling, and constant air temperature
(CAT) simulations, where the surface temperature is tuned to ensure that the atmospheric
temperature profile in the domain is constant. We recover the previously known
result that, in response to increasing radiative cooling, the area of convection
expands rapidly, while the intensity of convection does not change. We find that
this response is explained by the increased boundary-layer variability in simulations
with greater radiative cooling, which compensates for the decreasing temperature
by adding a larger initial velocity close to the cloud base. We also propose a
fundamental scaling of the non-dimensional cumulus mass flux in moist convection,
which is robust across models of different complexity. We aim to bridge the gap
between highly idealised prototypes of moist convection, such as the “Rainy–Bénard
convection” introduced by Vallis et al., and comprehensive cloud-resolving models.'

text: Motivated by applications in medical sciences, we study finite chromatic sets
in Euclidean space from a topological perspective. Based on the persistent homology
for images, kernels and cokernels, we design provably stable homological quantifiers
that describe the geometric micro- and macro-structure of how the color classes
mingle. These can be efficiently computed using chromatic variants of Delaunay
and alpha complexes, and code that does these computations is provided.

hypertriangulation of n\r\n points in the plane is a subdivision induced by the
projection of a k-hypersimplex, which is the convex hull of the barycenters of
the (k-1)-dimensional faces of the standard (n-1)-simplex. In particular, we introduce
four types of flips and prove that the level-2 hypertriangulations are connected

text: 'Information measures can be constructed from Rényi divergences much like
mutual information from Kullback-Leibler divergence. One such information measure
is known as Sibson α-mutual information and has received renewed attention recently
in several contexts: concentration of measure under dependence, statistical learning,
hypothesis testing, and estimation theory. In this paper, we survey and extend
the state of the art. In particular, we introduce variational representations
for Sibson α-mutual information and employ them in each described context to derive
novel results. Namely, we produce generalized Transportation-Cost inequalities
and Fano-type inequalities. We also present an overview of known applications,
spanning from learning theory and Bayesian risk to universal prediction.'

text: "In this thesis, we took a look at networks, and more specifically, at networks
that change over time, whether those are networks in the distributed algorithms
sense of the word, or the graph algorithm sense. \r\n\r\nIn distributed algorithms,
we looked at two main problems. First, the broadcast problem: given n agents,
each agent is tasked to forward a (unique) message to every other agent. Agents
collaborate and can copy and forward all messages they have received up until
that point. Broadcast is achieved when one agent has successfully broadcast its
message to everyone else. We studied the case where the communication network
is controlled by an adversary, under the condition that the graph is rooted in
every round of communication. We show that the adversary can delay broadcast for
at most l\r\n(1 + √\r\n2)n\r\nm\r\n rounds, improving on the $O(n\\log\\log n)$
previous upper bound~\\cite{fugger2020radius}, and asymptotically matching the
$\\sim 1.5n$ lower bound~\\cite{schwarz2017linear}.\r\n\r\nWe then looked at the
stochastic version of the problem: here, the adversary -- parametrized by $k$
where $k=0$ signifies that the adversary has no control, and $k=n$ that the adversary
has full control -- can choose parts of the graph, and the graph is then completed
stochastically. Here, we are able to look at a stronger version of broadcast:
instead of having $n$ messages trying to be broadcast in parallel, we can assume
that only one message needs to be broadcasted. We show the bound $\\Theta(k+\\log
n)$.\r\n\r\nThen, we looked at undecided states dynamics in population protocols:
given a population of $n$ agents, where each initially holds an opinion among
$k$ different ones. In each round, two agents are chosen uniformly at random,
and can interact. If they have different opinions, they forget their opinions
and become undecided. If one of them is undecided while the other has an opinion,
they undecided agent copies they opinion of the decided one. The question is then,
how many interactions does it take for the whole population to share the same
opinion? We show a $\\Omega(kn\\log \\frac {\\sqrt n} {k \\log n})$ lower bound
\ for any $k = o\\left(\\frac {\\sqrt n}{\\log n}\\right)$.\r\nThis is tight for
any $ k \\le n^{\\frac 1 2 - \\epsilon}$, where $\\epsilon >0$ can be any small
constant, matching the known $O(kn\\log n)$ upper bound for $k = O\\left(\\frac
{\\sqrt n} {\\log ^2 n}\\right)$~\\cite{DBLP:conf/podc/AmirABBHKL23}.\r\n\r\nFinally,
in dynamic algorithms, we study the minimum cut problem: we are given a graph,
whose vertex set we want to partition into two subsets such that the number of
edges crossing from one subset to the other is minimized. Then, the graph can
be updated via edge insertions or deletions, and we must update the solution without
recomputing everything from scratch. We present an exact fully-dynamic minimum
cut algorithm that runs in $n^{o(1)}$ deterministic update time when the minimum
cut size is at most $2^{\\Theta(\\log^{3/4-c}n)}$ for any $c>0$, improving on
the previous algorithm~\\cite{DBLP:conf/soda/JinST24} whose minimum cut size limit
is $(\\log n)^{o(1)}$. Using sparsification and randomization techniques, we are
able to extend this to all values of the minimum cut in weighted graphs, at the
cost of a $(1+o(1))$-approximation ratio."
