Finite group actions on genus two SL(2,C)SL(2, \mathbb{C})-character variety and applications to SCFTs

This paper investigates the irreducible components of fixed point sets within the SL(2,C)SL(2, \mathbb{C})-character variety of a genus two surface under finite group actions, utilizing the genus two DAHA to identify geometric transitions that yield novel candidates for symmetry-reduced moduli spaces in 4d N=2\mathcal{N}=2 SCFTs.

Anderson localization and Hölder regularity of IDS for analytic quasi-periodic Schrödinger operators

This paper establishes both Anderson localization and Hölder continuity of the integrated density of states for quasi-periodic Schrödinger operators on Zd\mathbb{Z}^d with non-constant analytic potentials and fixed Diophantine frequencies in the perturbative regime, utilizing a novel multi-scale analysis approach to control Green's functions.

Group Entropies and Mirror Duality: A Class of Flexible Mirror Descent Updates for Machine Learning

This paper introduces a comprehensive framework that unifies formal group theory and group entropies to create a flexible, infinite family of Mirror Descent optimization algorithms, featuring a novel "mirror duality" mechanism that adapts to diverse data geometries and statistical distributions while enhancing convergence and regularizer design in machine learning.

Local Robustness of Bound States in the Continuum through Scattering-Matrix Eigenvector Continuation

This paper establishes a general topological framework for understanding the local robustness of bound states in the continuum (BICs) by characterizing them as isolated zeros of a parameter-to-coefficient mapping derived from scattering-matrix eigenvectors, thereby providing both a theoretical explanation for their phase singularities and a practical numerical criterion for their detection.
