Transfer of magnetic order and anisotropy through epitaxial integration of 3$d$ and 4$f$ spin systems | Resonant x-ray scattering at the Dy $M_5$ and Ni $L_3$ absorption edges was
used to probe the temperature and magnetic field dependence of magnetic order
in epitaxial LaNiO$_3$-DyScO$_3$ superlattices. For superlattices with 2 unit
cell thick LaNiO$_3$ layers, a commensurate spiral state develops in the Ni

Exotic limit sets of Teichmüller geodesics in the HHS boundary | We answer a question of Durham, Hagen, and Sisto, proving that a
Teichmüller geodesic ray does not necessarily converge to a unique point in
the hierarchically hyperbolic space boundary of Teichmüller space. In fact,
we prove that the limit set can be almost anything allowed by the topology.

Decoupling "when to update" from "how to update" | Deep learning requires data. A useful approach to obtain data is to be
creative and mine data from various sources, that were created for different
purposes. Unfortunately, this approach often leads to noisy labels. In this
paper, we propose a meta algorithm for tackling the noisy labels problem. The
key idea is to d... | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Advection of potential temperature in the atmosphere of irradiated exoplanets: a robust mechanism to explain radius inflation | The anomalously large radii of strongly irradiated exoplanets have remained a
major puzzle in astronomy. Based on a 2D steady state atmospheric circulation
model, the validity of which is assessed by comparison to 3D calculations, we
reveal a new mechanism, namely the advection of the potential temperature due

Band depths based on multiple time instances | Bands of vector-valued functions $f:T\mapsto\mathbb{R}^d$ are defined by
considering convex hulls generated by their values concatenated at $m$
different values of the argument. The obtained $m$-bands are families of
functions, ranging from the conventional band in case the time points are

On Biased Correlation Estimation | In general, underestimation of risk is something which should be avoided as
far as possible. Especially in financial asset management, equity risk is
typically characterized by the measure of portfolio variance, or indirectly by
quantities which are derived from it. Since there is a linear dependency of the
variance ... | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
Atomic Swaptions: Cryptocurrency Derivatives | The atomic swap protocol allows for the exchange of cryptocurrencies on
different blockchains without the need to trust a third-party. However, market
participants who desire to hold derivative assets such as options or futures
would also benefit from trustless exchange. In this paper I propose the atomic
swaption, w... | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
An arbitrary order scheme on generic meshes for miscible displacements in porous media | We design, analyse and implement an arbitrary order scheme applicable to
generic meshes for a coupled elliptic-parabolic PDE system describing miscible
displacement in porous media. The discretisation is based on several
adaptations of the Hybrid-High-Order (HHO) method due to Di Pietro et al.

Parametricity, automorphisms of the universe, and excluded middle | It is known that one can construct non-parametric functions by assuming
classical axioms. Our work is a converse to that: we prove classical axioms in
dependent type theory assuming specific instances of non-parametricity. We also

automorphisms of ... | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Convergence Rates for Deterministic and Stochastic Subgradient Methods Without Lipschitz Continuity | We extend the classic convergence rate theory for subgradient methods to
apply to non-Lipschitz functions. For the deterministic projected subgradient
method, we present a global $O(1/\sqrt{T})$ convergence rate for any convex
function which is locally Lipschitz around its minimizers. This approach is
based on Shor's... | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
A quantum dynamics method for excited electrons in molecular aggregate system using a group diabatic Fock matrix | We introduce a practical calculation scheme for the description of excited

Products of topological groups in which all closed subgroups are separable | We prove that if $H$ is a topological group such that all closed subgroups of

separable compact group $G$.

Low rank solutions to differentiable systems over matrices and applications | Differentiable systems in this paper means systems of equations that are

A Simple and Realistic Pedestrian Model for Crowd Simulation and Application | The simulation of pedestrian crowd that reflects reality is a major challenge

Local connectivity modulates multi-scale relaxation dynamics in a metallic glass-forming system | The structural description for the intriguing link between the fast

SATR-DL: Improving Surgical Skill Assessment and Task Recognition in Robot-assisted Surgery with Deep Neural Networks | Purpose: This paper focuses on an automated analysis of surgical motion
profiles for objective skill assessment and task recognition in robot-assisted

Equivalence of weak and strong modes of measures on topological vector spaces | A strong mode of a probability measure on a normed space $X$ can be defined
as a point $u$ such that the mass of the ball centred at $u$ uniformly
dominates the mass of all other balls in the small-radius limit. Helin and
Burger weakened this definition by considering only pairwise comparisons with
balls whose centre... | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
Algebras of Quasi-Plücker Coordinates are Koszul | Motivated by the theory of quasi-determinants, we study non-commutative
algebras of quasi-Plücker coordinates. We prove that these algebras provide
new examples of non-homogeneous quadratic Koszul algebras by showing that their
quadratic duals have quadratic Gröbner bases.
