We implement a new semi-analytical approach to investigate radially self-similar solutions for the steady-state advection-dominated accretion flows (ADAFs). We employ the usual $\alpha$-prescription for the viscosity and all the components…

The literature of heavy tails (typically) starts with a random walk and finds mechanisms that lead to fat tails under aggregation. We follow the inverse route and show how starting with fat tails we get to thin-tails when deriving the…

We propose Flow Mismatching, an unsupervised anomaly detection method that deliberately avoids reconstruction-based paradigms. Instead, we treat flow matching as geometric dynamics and leverage a key insight: anomalies occur at places where…
