Jet Power, Bulk Lorentz Factor, Black Hole Spin, and Magnetic Field of Accretion Disk in Jetted Active Galactic Nuclei: A Large Gamma-Ray Emission Sample

We present a catalog of physical parameters for powerful jet-accretion disk-black hole systems in one of the largest samples of gamma-ray emitting jetted active galactic nuclei (AGNs), including jet kinetic and radiative powers, jet radiative efficiencies, bulk Lorentz factors, black hole spins, accretion-disk magnetic fields and Compton dominance. Comparing jet kinetic power estimators for blazars, values derived from spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting tend to exceed those estimated via cavity power and other scaling relations. For radiatively efficient AGNs, most sources are inferred to possess high spins; for radiatively inefficient AGNs, many potentially have high spins, though some may differ. This indicates that black hole spin does not effectively distinguish radiatively efficient from inefficient jetted AGNs. Our results suggest accretion-disk magnetic field strength as a key discriminator, proposing a tentative dividing value of $\approx 10^{3.9}$ Gauss between radiatively efficient and inefficient populations. Jet power and bulk Lorentz factor exhibit significant correlations with black hole mass in radiatively efficient AGNs, while weak-to-moderate correlations are observed in radiatively inefficient AGNs within narrow accretion-rate bins. Our analysis reveals that jet power correlates with both disk luminosity and magnetic field strength. Furthermore, correlations linking Eddington ratio and Compton dominance with jet properties are consistent with the jet-accretion connection. Finally, jet radiative power and bulk Lorentz factor show a potential dependence on black hole spin. These results are consistent with the scenario in which jets are powered and accelerated by energy extraction from rapidly spinning black holes via accretion-disk magnetic fields.

Repurposing CLIP to Localize at Pixel Level

Large-scale Vision-Language Models like CLIP have demonstrated impressive open-set localization capabilities at the image level. However, adapting this capability to pixel-level dense prediction poses challenges due to global feature biases. In this paper, we introduce CLIPix, a simple yet effective framework that repurposes CLIP to perform pixel-level localization. By tracing back CLIP's classification process, CLIPix identifies object-specific attentive regions and repurposes them as pixel-level localization cues. To address noise introduced by global biases, we propose a Noise-Resistant Correction strategy, refining these cues for more precise segmentation. Additionally, we introduce a Localization Embedding strategy to integrate both localization and enriched detail information, enabling accurate, high-resolution segmentation. Our approach preserves CLIP's generalization strength and unlocks its potential for segmenting arbitrary objects. Extensive experiments on the PASCAL and COCO datasets demonstrate that CLIPix achieves state-of-the-art performance, underscoring its effectiveness.

Complex Plane Phase Diagram and Widom Line for the Born-Infeld Black Holes with Reentrant Phase Transition

The Lee-Yang phase transition theory applied in the anti-de Sitter (AdS) black hole has inspired the exploration of complex phase diagram and supercritical phenomena in black hole thermodynamics. In this study, we extend the approach to the four dimensional Born-Infeld AdS black hole. This system exhibits a rich phase structure, including reentrant phase transitions, due to the modulation of the Born-Infeld nonlinear parameter. Through the Lee-Yang zeros, we obtained the complex phase diagram of the Born-Infeld AdS black hole and derived the supercritical crossover line -- Widom line, which strictly originates from the first-order stable critical point. The results indicate that Born-Infeld nonlinear effects significantly alter the types and characteristics of phase transition in critical region, while do not disrupt the uniqueness of the Widom line in supercritical region. Our study uncovers a universal simplified feature of the thermodynamic behavior of nonlinear gravitational systems in supercritical region. It also deepens our understanding of the fundamental connection between critical phenomena and continuous phase transitions in the extended phase space of black holes.

Maximum Diminished Sombor Index of Molecular Trees with a Perfect Matching

The diminished Sombor index $(DSO)$ of a graph $G$, introduced by Rajathagiri, is defined as $$DSO(G)=\sum_{uv\in E}\frac{\sqrt{d_u^2+d_v^2}}{d_u+d_v},$$ where $d_u$ and $d_v$ are the degrees of vertices $u$ and $v$. A graph $G$ is a molecular graph if $d_G(u)\leq 4$ for all $u\in V(G)$. In this paper, we examine the chemical applicability of the $DSO$ index for predicting physicochemical properties of octane isomers. We also determine the maximum value of the diminished Sombor index among all molecular trees of order $n$ with perfect matching and characterize all the corresponding extremal trees.

Impact of a Fano resonance on the measured transition time scale in solid state photoemission

Fundamental quantum transition time scales are accessible through the spin polarization of photoelectrons coming from initially spin-degenerate states for solid-state materials . In this work we investigate the modification of this time scale in the vicinity of a Fano resonance in photoemission from a solid. We employ spin- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (SARPES) to study the valence band of 1T-TiSe$_2$ and 1T-TiTe$_2$, with an excitation photon energy coinciding with the Ti 3p-3d autoionization state. The energy derivative of the measured spin polarization, which is in the off-resonance case proportional to the transition time, reveals a sign reversal and significant magnitude decrease compared to off-resonance measurements. We show that this effect goes beyond conventional semi-analytical models used to translate spin polarization to the EWS time delay. At the Fano resonance, the underlying interference assumption of the model breaks down, and additional information about resonance strength is needed to extract the transition time delays.

Critical curve for weakly coupled system of semilinear Euler-Poisson-Darboux-Tricomi equations

This paper investigates a weakly coupled system of semilinear Euler-Poisson-Darboux-Tricomi equations (EPDTS) with power-type nonlinear terms. More precisely, in the case where the damping terms dominate over the mass terms, the critical curve in the $p-q$ plane that delineates the threshold between global existence and blow-up for the EPDTS is given by \begin{equation*} \Gamma_m(n,p,q,\beta_1,\beta_2)=0, \end{equation*} where $\Gamma_m$ is defined by (\ref{gammam}). Through the construction of new test functions, the blow-up problem is addressed when $\Gamma_m(n,p,q,\beta_1,\beta_2)\geq0$. Based on the $(L^1\cap L^2)-L^2$ estimates of the solution to the corresponding linear equation established in our previous work \cite{LiGuo2025}, we derive the global existence of solutions with small initial data when $\Gamma_m(n,p,q,\beta_1,\beta_2)<0$, provided that the damping terms prevail over the mass terms.

Decoupled Complementary Spectral-Spatial Learning for Background Representation Enhancement in Hyperspectral Anomaly Detection

A recent class of hyperspectral anomaly detection methods can be trained once on background datasets and then deployed universally without per-scene retraining or parameter tuning, showing strong efficiency and robustness. Building upon this paradigm, we propose a decoupled complementary spectral--spatial learning framework for background representation enhancement. The framework follows a two-stage training strategy: (1) we first train a spectral enhancement network via reverse distillation to obtain robust background spectral representations; and (2) we then freeze the spectral branch as a teacher and train a spatial branch as a complementary student (the "rebellious student") to capture spatial patterns overlooked by the teacher. Complementary learning is achieved through decorrelation objectives that reduce representational redundancy between the two branches, together with reconstruction regularization to prevent the student from learning irrelevant noise. After training, the framework jointly enhances background representations from both spectral and spatial perspectives, and the resulting enhanced features can be plugged into parameter-free, training-free detectors (e.g., the Reed--Xiaoli (RX) detector) for test-time deployment without per-scene retraining or parameter tuning. Experiments on the HAD100 benchmark demonstrate substantial improvements over representative baselines with modest computational overhead, validating the effectiveness of the proposed complementary learning paradigm.

Twist dominates bending in the liquid crystal organization of bacteriophage DNA

DNA frequently adopts liquid-crystalline conformations in both cells and viruses. The Oseen--Frank framework provides a powerful continuum description of these phases through three elastic moduli: splay ($K_1$), twist or cholesteric ($K_2$), and bending ($K_3$). While $K_1$ is typically assumed to dominate, the relative magnitude of $K_2$ and $K_3$ in confined DNA remains poorly understood. Here, we combine cryo-electron microscopy, liquid-crystal modeling, and knot theory to quantify this relationship in bacteriophage P4, whose genome is partially organized in a spool-like liquid-crystalline phase. We first show experimentally that the ordered DNA occupies three concentric layers within the capsid. We then formulate an Oseen--Frank model for this geometry and use it, together with the measured layer radii, to estimate the elastic ratio $\alpha = K_3/K_2$. We find $\alpha \approx 0.0064$, indicating that twist elasticity overwhelmingly dominates bending. To validate this result, we perform Langevin dynamics simulations of DNA trajectories and classify the resulting knots. The predicted knot distribution agrees with experimental data from P4, demonstrating consistency between elasticity, topology, and observed genome organization.

Multispectral-NeRF:a multispectral modeling approach based on neural radiance fields

3D reconstruction technology generates three-dimensional representations of real-world objects, scenes, or environments using sensor data such as 2D images, with extensive applications in robotics, autonomous vehicles, and virtual reality systems. Traditional 3D reconstruction techniques based on 2D images typically relies on RGB spectral information. With advances in sensor technology, additional spectral bands beyond RGB have been increasingly incorporated into 3D reconstruction workflows. Existing methods that integrate these expanded spectral data often suffer from expensive scheme prices, low accuracy and poor geometric features. Three - dimensional reconstruction based on NeRF can effectively address the various issues in current multispectral 3D reconstruction methods, producing high - precision and high - quality reconstruction results. However, currently, NeRF and some improved models such as NeRFacto are trained on three - band data and cannot take into account the multi - band information. To address this problem, we propose Multispectral-NeRF, an enhanced neural architecture derived from NeRF that can effectively integrates multispectral information. Our technical contributions comprise threefold modifications: Expanding hidden layer dimensionality to accommodate 6-band spectral inputs; Redesigning residual functions to optimize spectral discrepancy calculations between reconstructed and reference images; Adapting data compression modules to address the increased bit-depth requirements of multispectral imagery. Experimental results confirm that Multispectral-NeRF successfully processes multi-band spectral features while accurately preserving the original scenes' spectral characteristics.

Effect of Matter Accretion on Lithium Enhancement of Giants

A subset of low-mass giants ($<2.2\,M_{\odot}$) exhibit anomalous lithium enhancement behavior, which is still an open topic. Given that more massive giants retain more surface lithium, increasing mass by accreting circumstellar matter could be a channel to enrich lithium. We evaluate this process in the current work. Using MESA, we construct a model of matter accretion, including mass loss, that evolves a star from the main sequence turnoff to the red giant branch tip. The mean accretion rate is estimated from the upper limit of the accreted mass and the evolutionary time of the star during this period, and a grid of accretion rates is constructed. We separately consider their effects on the lithium enhancement of giants, both in terms of the mass and the composition of accretion. Accreting matter with higher lithium abundances has a promoting effect on the lithium enhancement of giants. The accreted matter with excess lithium alleviates the dilution of lithium in the convective envelope during the first dredge-up. The added mass results in lower temperatures at the bottom of the convective envelope, which likewise weakens the depletion of surface lithium. Weak accretion of circumstellar matter is a possible route to lithium enhancement for giants, and it predicts an upper limit on the lithium abundance of $\rm \sim 2.5\,dex$. However, the mass increment it requires poses a potential challenge to real astrophysical environments. Such accretion suppresses lithium dilution and depletion of the star during the first dredge-up, thus exhibiting lithium enhancement behavior.

Dependency of quantum time scales on symmetry

Although used extensively in everyday life, time is one of the least understood quantities in physics, especially on the level of quantum mechanics. Here we use an experimental method based on spin- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy from spin-degenerate dispersive states to determine the Eisenbud-Wigner-Smith (EWS) time delay of photoemission. This time scale of the quantum transition is measured for materials with different dimensionality and correlation strength. A direct link between the dimensionality, or rather the symmetry of the system, and the attosecond photoionisation time scale is found. The quasi 2-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides 1T-TiSe$_2$ and 1T-TiTe$_2$ show time scales around 150 as, whereas in quasi 1-dimensional CuTe the photoionisation takes more than 200 as. This is in stark contrast with the 26 as found for 3-dimensional pure Cu. These results provide new insights into the role of symmetry in quantum time scales and may provide a route to understanding the role of time in quantum mechanics.

A characteristic optical variability time scale in jetted active galactic nuclei: a large gamma-ray emission sample

The variability mechanisms from jetted AGNs are still under debate. Here the damped random walk (DRW) model, implemented through Gaussian Processe (GPs), is used to fit the $ZTF$ long-term optical light curves of 1684 $\gamma$-ray emission jetted AGNs. This analysis yields one of the largest samples with characteristic optical variability timescales for jetted AGNs. A single DRW model from GPs can fit the optical light curve of most jetted AGNs well/potentially well, while there are still some jetted AGNs whose light curve can not be fitted well by a single DRW model. After the jet power, proxied by gamma-ray luminosity, is introduced as a new parameter, new relationships among intrinsic variability time scales, black hole mass and jet power are discovered for efficient accretion AGNs ($\tau^{\rm in} \propto M_{\rm BH}^{0.29^{+0.06}_{-0.06}}P_{\rm jet}^{-0.3^{+0.03}_{-0.03}}$ with scatter of approximately 0.09~dex) and for inefficient accretion AGNs ($\tau^{\rm in} \propto M_{\rm BH}^{0.06^{+0.07}_{-0.07}}P_{\rm jet}^{0.37^{+0.11}_{-0.11}}$ with scatter of approximately 0.14~dex), respectively. Our results support that the optical variability of jetted AGNs with efficient accretion may originate within the standard accretion disk at UV emitting radii similar to non-jetted AGNs, and is directly related to the acceleration of shock in the jet and then enhanced through the beaming effect in beamed AGNs. For the jetted AGNs with inefficient accretion, the intrinsic timescale is consistent with the escape timescale of electrons.

DEPTHOR: Depth Enhancement from a Practical Light-Weight dToF Sensor and RGB Image

Depth enhancement, which uses RGB images as guidance to convert raw signals from dToF into high-precision, dense depth maps, is a critical task in computer vision. Although existing super-resolution-based methods show promising results on public datasets, they often rely on idealized assumptions like accurate region correspondences and reliable dToF inputs, overlooking calibration errors that cause misalignment and anomaly signals inherent to dToF imaging, limiting real-world applicability. To address these challenges, we propose a novel completion-based method, named DEPTHOR, featuring advances in both the training strategy and model architecture. First, we propose a method to simulate real-world dToF data from the accurate ground truth in synthetic datasets to enable noise-robust training. Second, we design a novel network that incorporates monocular depth estimation (MDE), leveraging global depth relationships and contextual information to improve prediction in challenging regions. On the ZJU-L5 dataset, our training strategy significantly enhances depth completion models, achieving results comparable to depth super-resolution methods, while our model achieves state-of-the-art results, improving Rel and RMSE by 27% and 18%, respectively. On a more challenging set of dToF samples we collected, our method outperforms SOTA methods on preliminary stereo-based GT, improving Rel and RMSE by 23% and 22%, respectively.

Quantum Weak Measurement Amplifies Dispersion Signal of Rydberg Atomic System

Rydberg atoms, with their long coherence time and large electric dipole moment, are pivotal in quantum precision measurement. In the process of approaching the standard quantum limit, higher demands are placed on detection schemes. This paper presents a scheme to amplify dispersion signal of Rydberg atomic microwave detection system, using a quantum weak measurement technique together with improved dimensionless pointer. The scheme effectively mitigates the impact of technical noise and can be used to achieve a measurement precision close to the limit set by atomic shot noise in theory. Compared with the superheterodyne method based on transmission detection, our scheme has been experimentally proved to have a sensitivity increase of 5$\sim$6 dB. In this work, the Rydberg dispersion signal amplification mechanism offers a approach to enhance microwave detection sensitivity, which also facilitates deeper investigations into its dynamic processes and further applications of this mechanism in quantum communication and quantum control.

SVDC: Consistent Direct Time-of-Flight Video Depth Completion with Frequency Selective Fusion

Lightweight direct Time-of-Flight (dToF) sensors are ideal for 3D sensing on mobile devices. However, due to the manufacturing constraints of compact devices and the inherent physical principles of imaging, dToF depth maps are sparse and noisy. In this paper, we propose a novel video depth completion method, called SVDC, by fusing the sparse dToF data with the corresponding RGB guidance. Our method employs a multi-frame fusion scheme to mitigate the spatial ambiguity resulting from the sparse dToF imaging. Misalignment between consecutive frames during multi-frame fusion could cause blending between object edges and the background, which results in a loss of detail. To address this, we introduce an adaptive frequency selective fusion (AFSF) module, which automatically selects convolution kernel sizes to fuse multi-frame features. Our AFSF utilizes a channel-spatial enhancement attention (CSEA) module to enhance features and generates an attention map as fusion weights. The AFSF ensures edge detail recovery while suppressing high-frequency noise in smooth regions. To further enhance temporal consistency, We propose a cross-window consistency loss to ensure consistent predictions across different windows, effectively reducing flickering. Our proposed SVDC achieves optimal accuracy and consistency on the TartanAir and Dynamic Replica datasets. Code is available at https://github.com/Lan1eve/SVDC.

A Note on "Constructing Bent Functions Outside the Maiorana-McFarland Class Using a General Form of Rothaus"

In 2017, Zhang et al. proposed a question (not open problem) and two open problems in [IEEE TIT 63 (8): 5336--5349, 2017] about constructing bent functions by using Rothaus' construction. In this note, we prove that the sufficient conditions of Rothaus' construction are also necessary, which answers their question. Besides, we demonstrate that the second open problem, which considers the iterative method of constructing bent functions by using Rothaus' construction, has only a trivial solution. It indicates that all bent functions obtained by using Rothaus' construction iteratively can be generated from the direct sum of an initial bent function and a quadratic bent function. This directly means that Zhang et al.'s construction idea makes no contribution to the construction of bent functions. To compensate the weakness of their work, we propose an iterative construction of bent functions by using a secondary construction in [DCC 88: 2007--2035, 2020].

Lifespan estimate for the semilinear regular Euler-Poisson-Darboux-Tricomi equation

In this paper, we begin by establishing local well-posedness for the semilinear regular Euler-Poisson-Darboux-Tricomi equation. Subsequently, we derive a lifespan estimate with the Strauss index given by $p=p_{S}(n+\frac{\mu}{m+1}, m)$ for any $\delta>0$, where $\delta$ is a parameter to describe the interplay between damping and mass. This is achieved through the construction of a new test function derived from the Gaussian hypergeometric function and a second-order ordinary differential inequality, as proven by Zhou \cite{Zhou2014}. Additionally, we extend our analysis to prove a blow-up result with the index $p=\max\{p_{S}(n+\frac{\mu}{m+1}, m), p_{F}((m+1)n+\frac{\mu-1-\sqrt\delta}{2})\}$ by applying Kato$^{\prime}$s Lemma ( i.e., Lemma \ref{katolemma} ), specifically in the case of $\delta=1$.

Graph Feedback Bandits on Similar Arms: With and Without Graph Structures

In this paper, we study the stochastic multi-armed bandit problem with graph feedback. Motivated by applications in clinical trials and recommendation systems, we assume that two arms are connected if and only if they are similar (i.e., their means are close to each other). We establish a regret lower bound for this problem under the novel feedback structure and introduce two upper confidence bound (UCB)-based algorithms: Double-UCB, which has problem-independent regret upper bounds, and Conservative-UCB, which has problem-dependent upper bounds. Leveraging the similarity structure, we also explore a scenario where the number of arms increases over time (referred to as the \emph{ballooning setting}). Practical applications of this scenario include Q\&A platforms (e.g., Reddit, Stack Overflow, Quora) and product reviews on platforms like Amazon and Flipkart, where answers (or reviews) continuously appear, and the goal is to display the best ones at the top. We extend these two UCB-based algorithms to the ballooning setting. Under mild assumptions, we provide regret upper bounds for both algorithms and discuss their sub-linearity. Furthermore, we propose a new version of the corresponding algorithms that do not rely on prior knowledge of the graph's structural information and provide regret upper bounds. Finally, we conduct experiments to validate the theoretical results.
