A planar (upper) semimodular lattice $L$ is slim if the five-element nondistributive modular lattice $M_3$ does not occur among its sublattices. (Planar lattices are finite by definition.) Slim rectangular lattices as particular slim planar semimodul...
Recent experiments on URu2Si2 show that the low-pressure hidden order is non-magnetic but it breaks time reversal invariance. Restricting our attention to local order parameters of 5f2 shells, we find that the best candidate for hidden order is sta...
I’m sure everyone can remember their retail days. The periods of our lives when we worked long hours for shit pay and at the mercy of every dickhead who felt a soy sauce shortage was a legitimate re...
May 4, 2022 · The question remains, at least for me, whether unintuitive is sometimes intended or understood to be stronger than non-intuitive, i.e., counter-intuitive or fully contrary.
We present Piano Genie, an intelligent controller which allows non-musicians to improvise on the piano. With Piano Genie, a user performs on a simple interface with eight buttons, and their performance is decoded into the space of plausible piano mus...
The piano soundboard transforms the string vibration into sound and therefore, its vibrations are of primary importance for the sound characteristics of the instrument. An original vibro-acoustical method is presented to isolate the soundboard nonlin...
The special locus plays an important role in the construction of the non-BPS microstate geometries known as microstrata. These supergravity solutions are dual to combinations of left-moving and right-moving momentum states in the D1-D5 CFT and becaus...

Multi-frequency (X-ray, optical and radio) observations of galaxy clusters indicate that the atmospheres of these cosmic structures consist of a complex structure of thermal (hot and warm) and non-thermal (with different origin and spectra) distrib...
Interpolations in the latent space of deep generative models is one of the standard tools to synthesize semantically meaningful mixtures of generated samples. As the generator function is non-linear, commonly used linear interpolations in the latent...
The nonlinearity of activation functions used in deep learning models are crucial for the success of predictive models. There are several commonly used simple nonlinear functions, including Rectified Linear Unit (ReLU) and Leaky-ReLU (L-ReLU). In pra...

We study the numerical computation of an expectation of a bounded function with respect to a measure given by a non-normalized density on a convex body. We assume that the density is log-concave, satisfies a variability condition and is not too narro...
We prove explicit, i.e., non-asymptotic, error bounds for Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods, such as the Metropolis algorithm. The problem is to compute the expectation (or integral) of f with respect to a measure which can be given by a density with...
In this paper we show that an immersed nontrivial translating soliton for mean curvature flow in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$($n=2,3)$ is a grim hyperplane if and only if it is mean convex and has weighted total extrinsic curvature of at most quadratic growth....
How It Began: A Time Traveler's Guide to the Universe is a non-fiction book by the astronomer Chris Impey that discusses the history of the universe,
