We report on an apparatus for cooling and trapping of neutral dysprosium. We characterize and optimize the performance of our Zeeman slower and 2D molasses cooling of the atomic beam by means of Doppler spectroscopy on a 136 kHz broad…

This paper focuses on asymptotic properties of random monomial ideals through a statistical viewpoint. It extends the study of redundancy in monomial ideals by analyzing the poset density of the LCM-lattice. We explore how this density…
