A Quadratic-Form Representation of the Scalar Casimir Trace from Codimension-Three Riesz Reduction

This paper establishes a quadratic-form representation of the scalar Casimir trace by deriving an induced Green kernel from a codimension-three Riesz reduction, which allows the expectation of a heat-regularized Gaussian source's energy to exactly reproduce the trace and confirms standard finite-part results in Dirichlet parallel-plate geometries.

Black holes at a finite distance: Quasi-local restricted phase space formalism

This paper extends the restricted phase space formalism to quasi-local regimes with static observers at finite distances, demonstrating that RN black holes in this setting exhibit thermodynamic behaviors and phase transitions strikingly similar to asymptotic RN-AdS black holes, including Hawking-Page-like transitions in the neutral limit, provided an extra pair of thermodynamic variables (pressure and boundary area) is included.

An HST Wide Field Survey of the Galactic Bulge: Overview, Strategy, and First Results

This paper presents an overview, observing strategy, and initial results of a coordinated HST imaging survey covering 1.1 square degrees in the Galactic Bulge, designed to create a high-resolution legacy dataset that will significantly enhance the scientific return of the upcoming Nancy Grace Roman Galactic Bulge Time Domain Survey.

You Only Stack Once (YOSO): A Motion-Filtered, Deep-Learning Framework for Detecting Faint Moving Sources

The paper introduces You Only Stack Once (YOSO), a novel deep-learning pipeline that utilizes a Gaussian Motion Filter to efficiently detect faint, slow-moving Solar System objects with an extremely low false positive rate, offering a scalable alternative to traditional shift-and-stack methods for large-scale astronomical surveys.

Analytical classification of Majorana zero-mode spatial profiles in extended Kitaev chains: probability maxima can shift inward

This paper presents an analytical framework for extended Kitaev chains that reveals Majorana zero modes can exhibit diverse spatial profiles, including interior probability maxima and distinct decay behaviors, which are fully determined by the characteristic roots of a derived recursion relation.

HBEE: Human Behavioral Entropy Engine -- Pre-Registered Multi-Agent LLM Simulation of Peer-Suspicion-Based Detection Inversion

This pre-registered multi-agent simulation study reveals a counterintuitive detection inversion where an LLM-driven adaptive insider, employing operational security directives, achieves a statistically lower peer-suspicion score than innocent agents, thereby decoupling behavioral anomaly signals from traditional user-entity behavior analytics and exposing a critical generalization gap in current insider threat models.
