Federated learning (FL) enables privacy-preserving training of automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems across distributed data sources, yet its application to large-scale speech language models (SpeechLLMs) remains unexplored. This paper…
A poset model of a topological space $X$ is a poset $P$ such that $X$ is homeomorphic to the maximal point space of $P$ (the set Max($P$) of all maximal points of $P$ equipped with the relative Scott topology of $P$). Xi and Zhao proved…
Quantum correlation functions in supersymmetric field theories can be encoded in the Nicolai map. The infinitesimal inverse map provides their response to a change in a coupling constant through a ``flow equation''. We investigate the flow…
Phase change Ge_Sb_Te (GST) materials exhibit pronounced optical contrast and tunability driven by structural transformations, enabling a diverse range of photonic and optoelectronic applications. GST materials undergo reversible amorphous…
We study sequential prediction of individual binary sequences under zero-one loss. No computable master can compete on every sequence with all total computable predictors. We therefore consider rational-valued primitive-recursive…
We determine exactly which proper multiplicative subgroups of a prime field can be represented as a restricted sumset of the form $A\mathbin{\widehat{+}} A=\{a+a':a,a'\in A,\ a\ne a'\}$. We prove that a proper multiplicative subgroup…
Fall represents a significant risk of accidental death among individuals aged over 65, presenting a global health concern. A fall is defined as any event where a person loses balance and moves to an off-position, which may or may not result…
The framework of recanting twin path-specific effects has recently been propose to address the issue of intermediate confounding in causal mediation analysis, enabling the decomposition of the average treatment effect into identifiable…
We study the reverse Cheeger inequality, which bounds from above the ratio of the first Dirichlet Laplacian eigenvalue to the square of the Cheeger constant. We first extend this inequality from convex sets to a broader class. We then…
We explore, for the first time in lattice QCD, the radiative decays to $\gamma \eta$ and $\gamma \eta'$ of the $J^{PC}=1^{+-}$ charmonium state, $h_c$. This work expands upon a previous calculation of $J/\psi$ decays to the same final…
To better understand the landscape of well-behavedness laws for lenses on strict Cartesian symmetric monoidal categories, we define tagged lenses. We prove that tagged lenses form a strict symmetric monoidal category equipped with a strict…
Orthogonal ring patterns are natural generalizations of circle patterns. Bobenko-Hoffmann-R\"orig and Bobenko established the variational principles of the classical combinatorial curvature for the Euclidean, hyperbolic and spherical…
Quantum error mitigation (QEM) is an essential tool for mitigating hardware noise without incurring space overhead. Yet, its reliability depends on modeling, calibration, and implementation, leaving end-to-end security on untrusted quantum…
The cosmic dipole measured in surveys of cosmologically distant sources consistently exceeds the expectation derived from the cosmic microwave background, posing a significant challenge to the standard $\Lambda$CDM cosmology. In the era of…
The choice of optical receiver determines which properties of the transmitted states remain visible in the observed data and therefore affects the performance of different quantum protocols. We compare continuous-variable, photon-counting…
The infrared-flux excess of stars harbouring Dyson spheres represent one potential technosignature of extraterrestrial intelligence. In a previous Project Hephaistos paper, we highlighted seven M dwarfs within 300 pc with unusual infrared…
Large language models (LLMs) increasingly support biomedical research, yet their behavior under adversarial requests for dual-use knowledge remains insufficiently characterized. We introduce BioDisclose, a benchmark for measuring biomedical…
Interaction-free measurement infers the presence of an absorbing object from a photon that, in the counterfactual sense, never interacted with it, and is widely described as a route to minimally invasive sensing. We ask what it actually…
The optimal design of equilibrium particle distributions generated by external electric fields is investigated in the framework of stationary Maxwellian equilibria of the Vlasov-Poisson system. The resulting normalized Poisson-Boltzmann…
We investigate the non-equilibrium Casimir pressure in an isothermal binary liquid mixture maintained in a spatially constant and stationary concentration gradient parallel to gravity and confined within a three-dimensional slab of…
