Shape-Resonance in Spectral density, Scattering Cross-section, Time delay and Bound on Sojourn time

This paper revisits the Friedrichs model to derive precise asymptotic results, including the Breit-Wigner formula and spectral concentration, for resonances near embedded eigenvalues, while also establishing exact properties for sojourn time, scattering amplitude, and time delay in the context of rank-one perturbations of the Laplacian.

Space-time boundaries for random walks and their application to operator algebras

This paper investigates the Martin boundary of space-time Markov chains associated with finitely supported random walks to establish structural connections between various compactifications and harmonic function boundaries, ultimately demonstrating that the noncommutative Shilov boundary of the associated tensor algebra coincides with its Toeplitz CC^*-algebra.

Vanishing orders and zero degree Turán densities

This paper investigates the structural implications of vanishing \ell-degree Turán densities in hypergraphs, proving that for kk-uniform hypergraphs with vanishing 2-degree Turán density, a specific global vertex ordering (2-vanishing order) must exist, thereby generalizing classical results on zero Turán density and demonstrating that unlike the classical case, 2-degree Turán densities accumulate at zero.

Metrical Distortion, Exterior Differential and Gauss's Lemma

This paper revises Gauss's Lemma by introducing the concept of "metrical distortion" as a non-identity isometry between double tangential and tangential spaces, and concretely defines the exterior differential via covariant gradient transport to incorporate a "differential slip" representing scalar gauge theory, ultimately distinguishing between geodesically radial volume preservation (metrical distortion) and length preservation (exponential mapping) through the example of the 2-sphere.

Characterization of Maximizers for Sums of the First Two Eigenvalues of Sturm-Liouville Operators

This paper establishes the existence and uniqueness of a non-negative, piecewise smooth, and symmetric potential in L1L^1 that maximizes the sum of the first two Dirichlet eigenvalues for Sturm-Liouville operators, demonstrating that its nonzero part is determined by the solution to the pendulum equation via measure differential equations and weak^* convergence.

STAR Beyond Diagonal RISs with Amplification: Modeling and Optimization

This paper proposes a physically consistent signal model and an alternating optimization framework for downlink sum-rate maximization in STAR beyond-diagonal RISs with per-element amplification, achieving substantial performance gains over conventional passive systems while ensuring hardware feasibility and passivity.
