Author-Reviewed Papers

For every paper on this page, at least one of the original authors has seen our plain-language explanation and engaged with it — either confirming it reads accurately or requesting corrections that we then applied. An endorsement does not mean the authors formally approve every sentence, but it does mean the explanation has passed the eyes of the people who wrote the paper.

Computational references are not experiments: pre-registered validation of machine-learned sodium-cathode voltages

This paper demonstrates that machine-learning screens for sodium-cathode voltages, which rely on computationally derived references with systematic errors, failed pre-registered validation against experimental data due to a dominant 0.54 V bias in the reference values rather than the model itself, leading the authors to retire the screen and commit to a new calibration audit.

Relaxation Times for Nonextensive Systems Using Gradient Flow for the Maximization of Tsallis Entropy: An Application to Financial Market Dynamics

This paper proposes a Euclidean Gradient Flow framework to estimate the relaxation times of nonextensive systems, such as financial markets, by maximizing Tsallis entropy under q-Gaussian constraints, revealing that these systems exhibit longer relaxation times than those predicted by Shannon entropy, thereby enabling more extended forecasting horizons.

Power series for roots of a trinomial and Kummer-like identities for higher order hypergeometric series

This paper derives new power series solutions for the roots of the trinomial equation $x^n + px + q = 0$ in terms of the discriminant $D$ and its reciprocal for all $n \ge 3$ , extending Kummer's identities from the cubic case to higher-order hypergeometric series.

A 35B Hybrid-Attention Mixture-of-Experts Model on a 6GB 2011 GPU: Hand-Written 4-bit CUDA Inference for Fermi

This paper demonstrates the end-to-end inference of a 35-billion-parameter Qwen3.6 MoE model on a 2011 6GB Fermi GPU by implementing a hybrid execution strategy that streams weights for GPU prefill and utilizes a hand-written SSSE3 integer kernel for CPU decoding, while documenting both performance gains and the practical hardware limitations of running frontier-class AI on legacy silicon.

Offset-continuation-trajectory stacking based on common-reflection-point kinematics for five-dimensional prestack dataset regularization and enhancement

This paper presents a physics-informed framework for five-dimensional prestack seismic data regularization and enhancement that utilizes a multi-parameter common-reflection-point traveltime stacking operator with offset-continuation trajectories to reconstruct missing traces and improve signal quality while preserving reflection and diffraction kinematics.

Revisiting Lifshitz-type solutions in $R^2$ -corrected gravity

This paper constructs new families of exact higher-dimensional Lifshitz-type black hole and black brane solutions in $R^2$ -corrected gravity at the critical point, revealing that these configurations exhibit vanishing entropy and zero conserved charges despite possessing non-zero temperatures due to the theory's degenerate field equations.

Evolution of Stars During the Main Sequence and the Transition to the Red Giant Phase

This paper presents an analytical framework for the evolution of 3–10 $M_\odot$ stars during the main sequence and transition to the red giant phase, deriving key relations for convective core mass and stellar parameters to explain the main-sequence hook and demonstrate that main-sequence termination occurs when a hydrogen-burning shell becomes luminous, a process physically distinct from the Schönberg–Chandrasekhar limit.
