Particle dynamics in rotating charged Bumblebee black holes: An analytical correspondence with Kerr-Newman

In this paper, we establish an analytical correspondence between the equatorial dynamics of spinless and spinning test particles in a slowly rotating charged Einstein--Bumblebee black hole spacetime and those in an effective Kerr--Newman spacetime. For spinning particles, the correspondence is established within the Mathisson--Papapetrou--Dixon framework under appropriate parameter matching. We show that corresponding circular orbits have identical radii and coordinate angular velocities, while their radial dynamics and local instability rates exhibit a Lorentz-violation-dependent scaling. Nevertheless, the correspondence does not imply complete dynamical equivalence, as orbital trajectories and radial perturbation growth over an azimuthal period generally differ. These results delineate the scope and limitations of the effective Kerr--Newman correspondence by distinguishing the dynamical properties preserved under parameter matching from those modified by the Lorentz-violating radial deformation.

RoboSeed: Multidimensional Evaluation of Vision-Language-Action and World-Action Models: Capability, Resource Affordability, and Research Evidence

Choosing a robot action model requires evidence about task capability, adaptation cost, deployment requirements, and the reliability of reported conclusions. Success rates alone offer limited guidance to researchers with different computing budgets and goals. We propose RoboSeed, a multidimensional evaluation framework for vision-language-action (VLA) and world-action models (WAM), within a continuing program to train, evaluate, and openly release robot models with verifiable evidence for model selection. The framework defines five dimensions: capability, downstream training affordability, deployment affordability, locally verified research value, and reproduction evidence. It maps empirical measurements and audit criteria to 0-100 profiles using fixed normalization anchors, with balanced, training-constrained, and deployment-constrained preference settings. Interface and protocol checks establish when comparisons are appropriate. Missing measurements remain explicit, incomplete aggregate scores are withheld, and weighted input coverage identifies evidence gaps. We apply the framework to representative VLA and WAM models, drawing on local training, released-weight evaluation, task-level audits, and an evaluation-system study. The results reveal budget-dependent backbone choices, sensitivity to adaptation recipes, and differences between language and visual task interfaces. Reproducible scoring code and machine-readable evidence support extension to additional models. The study provides dimension-level assessments and priorities for further measurement, while incomplete serving traces and heterogeneous protocols preclude overall numerical rankings.

Precision-Aware Hierarchical Spectrum Search for Finite-Precision MUSIC DOA Estimation

Dense-grid spectrum search is computationally costly for multiple signal classification (MUSIC) direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation, and low-precision evaluation can introduce numerical errors that distort candidate selection. This paper proposes precision-aware hierarchical MUSIC (PAH-MUSIC), a multistage framework that coordinates arithmetic precision, angular grids, and candidate windows in spectrum evaluation, while covariance estimation and eigendecomposition remain in FP64. Stage-dependent precision is assigned from coarse candidate discovery to final DOA estimation. Under bounded perturbations and local spectral growth, a conditional displacement bound gives a sufficient window-width condition for retained, correctly associated candidates. For a two-stage continuous cost model with fixed precision weights and window coefficients, a closed-form optimal coarse step and a cost-gain condition are derived. Simulations with two separated sources and 500 frames at each tested signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) from -10 to 15 dB show that FP8, FP16, and FP32 coarse searches followed by FP64 refinement achieve DOA root-mean-square errors close to a baseline using FP64 at both search stages. Relative to that baseline, the selected configurations reduce weighted spectrum-evaluation cost by 28.36\%--44.66\% under the adopted precision weights.

Spin-mediated modulation of chaos bound violation in Lorentz-violating black hole spacetimes

In this paper, we investigate how the particle spin modulates chaos bound violations in Lorentz-violating black hole spacetimes within the framework of Bumblebee gravity. Using the Mathisson-Papapetrou-Dixon formalism, we analyze the effects of spin-curvature coupling, Lorentz symmetry breaking, and the cosmological constant on the orbital instability in static spherically symmetric (A)dS black holes. We find that the particle spin provides an additional mechanism for modulating the critical angular momentum associated with the onset of violation. The Lorentz-violating parameter suppresses the violations by reducing the accessible parameter space and the critical charge. Meanwhile, a negative cosmological constant decreases the violation region but enhances the violation magnitude for allowed configurations. Our results demonstrate that the spin and Lorentz symmetry breaking jointly regulate the interplay between orbital instability and black hole horizon properties.

Chaos bound for spinning particles in Kerr-Newman-AdS black holes

In this paper, we investigate the chaos bound violation of spinning charged test particles in the Kerr--Newman--AdS spacetime by comparing the Lyapunov exponent of unstable circular orbits with the black hole surface gravity. We find that the violation is governed by the relative balance between the local orbital-instability and surface gravity scales, while spacetime rotation, charge, AdS curvature, and particle spin modify this balance in different ways. In rotating backgrounds, the violation depends strongly on the relative orientation between the particle total angular momentum and the black hole rotation, with anti-aligned configurations generally favoring violation. Particle spin further shifts the violation boundary through spin--curvature coupling, although its influence remains comparatively weak over the spin range considered. The cosmological constant has a background-dependent influence. These results show that the parameter dependence of chaos bound violation reflects the competition between the local orbital-instability and surface gravity scales.

MotiveMob: Motivation as Semantic Action for Closed-Loop Human Mobility Generation

Human mobility generation, an important task in urban research, synthesizes trajectory data for urban planning and transportation management. Human mobility can be characterized as a "why-where-when" decision process: people form an intention to move and then determine where and when the corresponding activity will take place. Trajectory generation under user-level and temporal distribution shifts may benefit from explicitly modeling this decision structure. However, many existing human mobility generation methods either represent behavioral intent at a coarse granularity, such as a daily plan or a trajectory-level description, or directly predict future locations without explicitly reasoning about a possible motivation for each movement step. We introduce MotiveMob, a motivation-driven autoregressive framework for human mobility generation that first forms a hypothesis about why the next movement may occur and then jointly generates where and when it may occur. At each step, a motivation predictor conditions on the current mobility state, a long-term behavioral report, and the mobility history to infer a plausible motivation or determine whether the trajectory should terminate. Given the hypothesized motivation, a state predictor grounds it in a candidate next location and arrival time. The candidate then undergoes speed-feasibility and repetition checks before being fed back for the next decision. We evaluate MotiveMob under distribution shifts involving unseen users and unseen temporal periods, including seasonal changes and the substantial behavioral disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Experiments show that MotiveMob consistently achieves better distributional fidelity than competitive pretraining-based and prompting-based methods under user-level and temporal distribution shifts, demonstrating robust generalization to out-of-distribution mobility patterns.

Horizon--orbit scale competition underlying chaos bound violation for spinning particles

In this paper, we investigate the chaos bound through the local radial instability of charged spinning test particles on unstable circular orbits in the black-bounce--Kerr--Newman spacetime. Our results show that violation of the bound is governed by the competition between the local orbital-instability scale and the surface gravity scale, with variations of the black hole background and the particle dynamics providing two complementary routes to the same threshold crossing. Background variations affect both scales and can drive the system into the bound-violating regime when the surface gravity is suppressed more strongly than the orbital instability. At fixed background, by contrast, the surface gravity remains unchanged, and the transition across the threshold is driven by changes in the unstable orbit dynamics induced by the particle parameters. The background-controlled and probe-dynamics-controlled routes therefore represent two realizations of a unified horizon--orbit scale competition rather than independent mechanisms.

SHARP: Spectrum-aware Highly-dynamic Adaptation for Resolution Promotion in Remote Sensing Synthesis

Text-to-image synthesis for remote sensing (RS) lacks an accessible, high-performance generative foundation, as directly training diffusion models at large, high resolutions is computationally prohibitive. Training-free resolution promotion via Rotary Position Embedding (RoPE) extrapolation offers an efficient alternative, but existing algorithms apply static scaling rules tailored to natural scenes, whereas RS imagery is dominated by dense, minute instances that hinge on high-frequency structural integrity. We present a comprehensive framework for large-scale RS synthesis. First, we curate over 100{,}000 image-text pairs to train RS-FLUX, a domain-specialized generative prior. Second, we propose \textbf{SHARP}, a training-free extrapolation algorithm that introduces a Rational Decay Scheduler to modulate RoPE frequencies throughout denoising: strong positional extrapolation early on enforces coherent global layouts, and progressive relaxation later recovers dense high-frequency details. Extensive experiments show that SHARP consistently achieves state-of-the-art performance across multiple promoted resolutions with negligible ($<$4\%) overhead, offering an efficient and structurally faithful solution for large-scale RS generation.

The impact of large-scale EV charging on the real-time operation of distribution systems: A comprehensive review

With the large-scale integration of electric vehicles (EVs) in the distribution grid, the unpredictable nature of EV charging introduces considerable uncertainties to the grid's real-time operations. This can exacerbate load fluctuations, compromise power quality, and pose risks to the grid's stability and security. However, due to their dual role as controllable loads and energy storage devices, EVs have the potential to mitigate these fluctuations, balance the variability of renewable energy sources, and provide ancillary services that support grid stability. By leveraging the bidirectional flow of information and energy in smart grids, the adverse effects of EV charging can be minimized and even converted into beneficial outcomes through effective real-time management strategies. This paper explores the negative impacts of EV charging on the distribution system's real-time operations and outlines methods to transform these challenges into positive contributions. Additionally, it provides an in-depth analysis of the real-time management system for EV charging, focusing on state estimation and management strategies.

TextDS: Parameter-Efficient Representation Alignment for Scene Text Detection under Distribution Shifts

In real-world deployments, scene text detectors inevitably face distribution shifts beyond the training distribution. Prior work often depends on large-scale scene-text pretraining, yet evaluation under cross-domain changes and real-world imaging degradations remains limited. We propose TextDS, an efficient framework for scene text detection under distribution shifts. First, we propose a data-efficient dual-encoder design with visual foundation models, eliminating the reliance on large-scale scene-text pretraining. Second, we introduce Step-wise LoRA adaptation (SWLoRA), which performs progressive low-rank refinement with a dynamic early-exit mechanism for effective feature adaptation. Third, we propose Common Subspace Fusion (CSF) to align and fuse the two branches in a shared subspace while retaining complementary, shift-robust information. Finally, we construct adverse-condition scene text detection datasets to address the gap in evaluating under imaging degradation. Experiments show that TextDS achieves competitive performance in scene text detection, demonstrating robustness across domains and adverse imaging conditions with only 4.9M trainable parameters.

ELLMob: Event-Driven Human Mobility Generation with Self-Aligned LLM Framework

Human mobility generation aims to synthesize plausible trajectory data, which is widely used in urban system research. While Large Language Model-based methods excel at generating routine trajectories, they struggle to capture deviated mobility during large-scale societal events. This limitation stems from two critical gaps: (1) the absence of event-annotated mobility datasets for design and evaluation, and (2) the inability of current frameworks to reconcile competitions between users' habitual patterns and event-imposed constraints when making trajectory decisions. This work addresses these gaps with a twofold contribution. First, we construct the first event-annotated mobility dataset covering three major events: Typhoon Hagibis, COVID-19, and the Tokyo 2021 Olympics. Second, we propose ELLMob, a self-aligned LLM framework that first extracts competing rationales between habitual patterns and event constraints, based on Fuzzy-Trace Theory, and then iteratively aligns them to generate trajectories that are both habitually grounded and event-responsive. Extensive experiments show that ELLMob wins state-of-the-art baselines across all events, demonstrating its effectiveness.

Llama-Mob: Instruction-Tuning Llama-3-8B Excels in City-Scale Mobility Prediction

Human mobility prediction plays a critical role in applications such as disaster response, urban planning, and epidemic forecasting. Traditional methods often rely on designing crafted, domain-specific models, and typically focus on short-term predictions, which struggle to generalize across diverse urban environments. In this study, we introduce Llama3-8B-Mob, a large language model fine-tuned with instruction tuning, for long-term citywide mobility prediction--in a Q&A manner. We validate our approach using large-scale human mobility data from four metropolitan areas in Japan, focusing on predicting individual trajectories over the next 15 days. The results demonstrate that Llama3-8B-Mob excels in modeling long-term human mobility--surpassing the state-of-the-art on multiple prediction metrics. It also displays strong zero-shot generalization capabilities--effectively generalizing to other cities even when fine-tuned only on limited samples from a single city. Moreover, our method is general and can be readily extended to the next POI prediction task. For brevity, we refer to our model as Llama-Mob, and the corresponding results are included in this paper. Source codes are available at https://github.com/TANGHULU6/Llama3-8B-Mob.

Motions of spinning particles and chaos bound in Reissner-Nordström spacetime

Previous research showed that the chaos bound proposed in \cite{MSS} can be violated under specific conditions within the scalar fields surrounding black holes. In this paper, we explore motions of spinning particles orbiting a Reissner-Nordström black hole and examine whether this bound is violated in the spinor field of this black hole. For the neutral particle, when its spin magnitude surpasses a specific threshold, the value of the exponent exceeds the surface gravity, resulting in a violation of the bound. Given a fixed total angular momentum of the particle, when its spin direction is anti-aligned with the angular momentum direction, the exponent value is greater than that when the two directions are aligned. For the charged particle, taking into account the influence of the electromagnetic force, we find that for relatively large angular momenta, although the electromagnetic force does not change the trend of the exponent's variation with respect to spin and angular momentum, and only modifies its values, it still leads to the violation. Therefore, the chaos bound violations are observed in the spinor field.

TrajGPT-R: Generating Urban Mobility Trajectory with Reinforcement Learning-Enhanced Generative Pre-trained Transformer

Mobility trajectories are essential for understanding urban dynamics and enhancing urban planning, yet access to such data is frequently hindered by privacy concerns. This research introduces a transformative framework for generating large-scale urban mobility trajectories, employing a novel application of a transformer-based model pre-trained and fine-tuned through a two-phase process. Initially, trajectory generation is conceptualized as an offline reinforcement learning (RL) problem, with a significant reduction in vocabulary space achieved during tokenization. The integration of Inverse Reinforcement Learning (IRL) allows for the capture of trajectory-wise reward signals, leveraging historical data to infer individual mobility preferences. Subsequently, the pre-trained model is fine-tuned using the constructed reward model, effectively addressing the challenges inherent in traditional RL-based autoregressive methods, such as long-term credit assignment and handling of sparse reward environments. Comprehensive evaluations on multiple datasets illustrate that our framework markedly surpasses existing models in terms of reliability and diversity. Our findings not only advance the field of urban mobility modeling but also provide a robust methodology for simulating urban data, with significant implications for traffic management and urban development planning. The implementation is publicly available at https://github.com/Wangjw6/TrajGPT_R.

MDAFNet: Multiscale Differential Edge and Adaptive Frequency Guided Network for Infrared Small Target Detection

Infrared small target detection (IRSTD) plays a crucial role in numerous military and civilian applications. However, existing methods often face the gradual degradation of target edge pixels as the number of network layers increases, and traditional convolution struggles to differentiate between frequency components during feature extraction, leading to low-frequency backgrounds interfering with high-frequency targets and high-frequency noise triggering false detections. To address these limitations, we propose MDAFNet (Multi-scale Differential Edge and Adaptive Frequency Guided Network for Infrared Small Target Detection), which integrates the Multi-Scale Differential Edge (MSDE) module and Dual-Domain Adaptive Feature Enhancement (DAFE) module. The MSDE module, through a multi-scale edge extraction and enhancement mechanism, effectively compensates for the cumulative loss of target edge information during downsampling. The DAFE module combines frequency domain processing mechanisms with simulated frequency decomposition and fusion mechanisms in the spatial domain to effectively improve the network's capability to adaptively enhance high-frequency targets and selectively suppress high-frequency noise. Experimental results on multiple datasets demonstrate the superior detection performance of MDAFNet.

Text-Pass Filter: An Efficient Scene Text Detector

To pursue an efficient text assembling process, existing methods detect texts via the shrink-mask expansion strategy. However, the shrinking operation loses the visual features of text margins and confuses the foreground and background difference, which brings intrinsic limitations to recognize text features. We follow this issue and design Text-Pass Filter (TPF) for arbitrary-shaped text detection. It segments the whole text directly, which avoids the intrinsic limitations. It is noteworthy that different from previous whole text region-based methods, TPF can separate adhesive texts naturally without complex decoding or post-processing processes, which makes it possible for real-time text detection. Concretely, we find that the band-pass filter allows through components in a specified band of frequencies, called its passband but blocks components with frequencies above or below this band. It provides a natural idea for extracting whole texts separately. By simulating the band-pass filter, TPF constructs a unique feature-filter pair for each text. In the inference stage, every filter extracts the corresponding matched text by passing its pass-feature and blocking other features. Meanwhile, considering the large aspect ratio problem of ribbon-like texts makes it hard to recognize texts wholly, a Reinforcement Ensemble Unit (REU) is designed to enhance the feature consistency of the same text and to enlarge the filter's recognition field to help recognize whole texts. Furthermore, a Foreground Prior Unit (FPU) is introduced to encourage TPF to discriminate the difference between the foreground and background, which improves the feature-filter pair quality. Experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of REU and FPU while showing the TPF's superiority.

DCCS-Det: Directional Context and Cross-Scale-Aware Detector for Infrared Small Target

Infrared small target detection (IRSTD) is critical for applications like remote sensing and surveillance, which aims to identify small, low-contrast targets against complex backgrounds. However, existing methods often struggle with inadequate joint modeling of local-global features (harming target-background discrimination) or feature redundancy and semantic dilution (degrading target representation quality). To tackle these issues, we propose DCCS-Det (Directional Context and Cross-Scale Aware Detector for Infrared Small Target), a novel detector that incorporates a Dual-stream Saliency Enhancement (DSE) block and a Latent-aware Semantic Extraction and Aggregation (LaSEA) module. The DSE block integrates localized perception with direction-aware context aggregation to help capture long-range spatial dependencies and local details. On this basis, the LaSEA module mitigates feature degradation via cross-scale feature extraction and random pooling sampling strategies, enhancing discriminative features and suppressing noise. Extensive experiments show that DCCS-Det achieves state-of-the-art detection accuracy with competitive efficiency across multiple datasets. Ablation studies further validate the contributions of DSE and LaSEA in improving target perception and feature representation under complex scenarios. \href{https://huggingface.co/InPeerReview/InfraredSmallTargetDetection-IRSTD.DCCS}{DCCS-Det Official Code is Available Here!}

HA2F: Dual-module Collaboration-Guided Hierarchical Adaptive Aggregation Framework for Remote Sensing Change Detection

Remote sensing change detection (RSCD) aims to identify the spatio-temporal changes of land cover, providing critical support for multi-disciplinary applications (e.g., environmental monitoring, disaster assessment, and climate change studies). Existing methods focus either on extracting features from localized patches, or pursue processing entire images holistically, which leads to the cross temporal feature matching deviation and exhibiting sensitivity to radiometric and geometric noise. Following the above issues, we propose a dual-module collaboration guided hierarchical adaptive aggregation framework, namely HA2F, which consists of dynamic hierarchical feature calibration module (DHFCM) and noise-adaptive feature refinement module (NAFRM). The former dynamically fuses adjacent-level features through perceptual feature selection, suppressing irrelevant discrepancies to address multi-temporal feature alignment deviations. The NAFRM utilizes the dual feature selection mechanism to highlight the change sensitive regions and generate spatial masks, suppressing the interference of irrelevant regions or shadows. Extensive experiments verify the effectiveness of the proposed HA2F, which achieves state-of-the-art performance on LEVIR-CD, WHU-CD, and SYSU-CD datasets, surpassing existing comparative methods in terms of both precision metrics and computational efficiency. In addition, ablation experiments show that DHFCM and NAFRM are effective. \href{https://huggingface.co/InPeerReview/RemoteSensingChangeDetection-RSCD.HA2F}{HA2F Official Code is Available Here!}
