Advection of the image point in probabilistically-reconstructed phase spaces

This paper proposes a probabilistic reconstruction method that enhances the "Advection of the image point" hyper-parameterisation approach to accurately and efficiently approximate ocean dynamics from limited data, demonstrating superior speed and accuracy compared to traditional high-resolution NEMO model simulations while offering potential applications in operational forecasting and data gap filling.

Expected Lipschitz-Killing curvatures for spin random fields and other non-isotropic fields

This paper derives an explicit, non-asymptotic formula for the expected Lipschitz-Killing curvatures of excursion sets for arbitrary left-invariant Gaussian spin spherical random fields on SO(3)SO(3) with respect to an arbitrary metric, providing a general framework applicable to non-degenerate Gaussian fields on three-dimensional compact Riemannian manifolds for analyzing Cosmic Microwave Background polarization.

Barycentric bounds on the error exponents of quantum hypothesis exclusion

This paper establishes new, improved, single-letter upper bounds on the error exponents for quantum state and channel exclusion tasks by introducing a multivariate barycentric Chernoff divergence, which also yields the first efficiently computable bound for symmetric binary channel discrimination and solves the exact error exponent for classical channel exclusion.

Pure state entanglement and von Neumann algebras

This paper extends Nielsen's Theorem on LOCC ordering to bipartite quantum systems described by commuting von Neumann algebras, establishing a one-to-one correspondence between the classification of factors (types I, II, and III) and their operational entanglement properties, such as infinite single-shot entanglement and the ability to transition between arbitrary pure states with arbitrary precision.

The stochastic porous medium equation in one dimension

This paper investigates the one-dimensional stochastic porous medium equation with additive white noise, combining functional renormalization group predictions and extensive numerical simulations to characterize its growth exponents, anomalous scaling, and multiscaling properties, while identifying its stationary measure with a random walk model related to a Bessel process.

Simply Connected Topology in Perturbed Vortices and Field-Reversed Configurations

This paper demonstrates that arbitrarily small odd-parity perturbations fundamentally alter the topology of zero-helicity vortices and field-reversed configurations by transforming their interior flux surfaces from toroidal to simply connected, thereby necessitating a revision of established models in both fusion confinement physics and fluid dynamics.

Finite-size secret-key rates of discrete modulation continuous-variable quantum key distribution under Gaussian attacks

This paper derives analytical or semi-analytical bounds on finite-size secret-key rates for discrete-modulation continuous-variable quantum key distribution under Gaussian attacks by computing Petz-Rényi and sandwiched Rényi conditional entropies, offering tighter estimates for short block sizes compared to existing methods.
