Surpassing Gaussian optimality in multiparameter estimation with indefinite causal order

We identify single-mode Gaussian probes, generated by displacement and squeezing operations on the vacuum state, which are optimal for the simultaneous estimation of displacement and squeezing operations in continuous-variable quantum systems. Importantly, our results reveal that the best precision at a fixed energy is achieved not by an experimentally costly squeezing resource, but rather by redirecting some of the energy towards displacement, thus allowing for more resource-effective operations. Furthermore, introducing indefinite causal order (ICO) in either the probe preparation or parameter encoding step can surpass the Gaussian precision bound, even though the optimal Gaussian probe state is agnostic to the ordering of the operations. Specifically, we observe that odd-parity superpositions of the two definite orders can enhance precision over optimal Gaussian probes in specific parameter regimes. Further, the observed advantage cannot be attributed solely to non-Gaussianity, as quantified by the relative entropy of non-Gaussianity, highlighting ICO as an independent resource for enhancing multiparameter estimation.

The multiplicity sequence of monomial ideals

We give a convex-geometric formula for the multiplicity sequence of a monomial ideal in terms of mixed volumes of polytopes constructed from its Newton polyhedron. We also construct a counterexample to a conjecture of Achilles and Manaresi proposing a different volume formula for the multiplicity sequence. Finally, we derive a mixed-volume formula for the mixed multiplicities of arbitrary monomial ideals.

Who Belongs in the Eval Set? A Capability-Taxonomy-Driven Pipeline for Curating Regression Eval Sets in Agent-Extensibility Platforms

Platform teams hosting agent-extensibility surfaces face a regression-economics paradox: every onboarding customer ships an evaluation set tuned to their domain, but the platform's regression set must live under a hard query-count ceiling bounded by release cadence. To our knowledge, no published industrial pipeline addresses this platform-side curation problem: existing evaluation frameworks are customer-side, and benchmark-compression work treats benchmarks as fixed pools rather than streams of incoming sets. We describe a capability-taxonomy-driven curation pipeline applied to declarative agents with custom actions in Microsoft 365 Copilot. It takes an agent specification and a customer's eval set as input, projects each query into a platform-owned capability taxonomy, and outputs per-query decisions (admit, drop, swap, or human review), under the philosophy that a healthy regression set is the minimal set of queries capturing the maximal spread of capability signatures -- distinct combinations of capabilities a query exercises together. Three components instantiate this: a classifier producing per-(query, capability) verdicts via a hybrid of deterministic specification-based extraction and large-language-model (LLM) semantic inference; an Invocation Quality (IQ) rater scoring how thoroughly a query exercises each capability, so a new query sharing a signature with an existing entry can still be recognized as a better test and displace it; and a consolidator comparing incoming queries against the regression set on coverage and quality through a rule-based decision cascade, backed by a conservative curator that only suggests evictions. The mechanism is taxonomy-agnostic and applies to any regression eval-set curation problem with a typed capability taxonomy, including taxonomies that evolve in response to the very evidence the pipeline surfaces.

Transcendental Hilbert-Kunz Multiplicities

We prove that ordinary Hilbert-Kunz multiplicity can be transcendental. More precisely, over every uncountable algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>2$, there exists a normal standard graded domain $S$ and an $S_+$-primary homogeneous ideal $I\subseteq S$ such that $e_{\rm HK}(IS_{S_+})$ is transcendental.

Transcendental Epsilon Multiplicity via Divisor Volumes

We prove that epsilon multiplicity can take transcendental values. The main structural result is a one-ideal formula for section rings: under natural positivity hypotheses, the epsilon multiplicity of an ideal generated in one degree is equal to an integral of a divisor-volume function. This formula transports an asymptotic colength invariant of ideals to the geometry and arithmetic of divisor volumes. To produce a transcendental value, we combine the formula with a shifted projective-bundle construction inspired by Borntr\"ager and Nickel. The shift places the construction in the positivity range required by the one-ideal formula while preserving the underlying disk geometry of the volume computation. Reversing the order of integration reduces the resulting integral to three integrals of rational functions. Their arctangent terms cancel exactly, whereas the remaining real logarithms form an explicit algebraic linear combination whose value is positive. Baker's theorem then implies transcendence. Consequently, there exists a homogeneous ideal in a normal standard graded domain whose epsilon multiplicity is transcendental.

Muon-induced di-tau production as a probe of new physics

The muon trident process, which involves coherent scattering to produce tau pairs, is a powerful tool for constraining dark sectors. We propose to explore this channel using future high-energy muon beams with the dedicated active-target detector, High-Energy Muon Electronic Research Apparatus (HEMERA). The detector would complement muon beam-dump searches by resolving prompt signatures and could operate from preparatory facilities involving an individual muon beam of the full Muon Collider. We illustrate its capabilities for a leptophilic scalar with Yukawa-like couplings that can mediate thermal dark matter production. With $10^{18}$ incident TeV-scale muons, even a compact 10 kg silicon-based HEMERA will extend current $B$-factory and $(g-2)_\mu$ bounds by over an order of magnitude in coupling strength. In the leptophilic thermal dark matter paradigm, this search offers a way to probe dark sector targets beyond the neutrino floor of dark matter direct detection. This provides an additional compelling motivation for the development of high-energy muon beam infrastructure.

Generalized Hilbert-Kunz Multiplicity for Families of Ideals

In this paper, we initiate a systematic study of the generalized Hilbert-Kunz multiplicity for families of ideals in a Noetherian local ring (R,m) of positive characteristic, and introduce a new asymptotic invariant called the Amao-type multiplicity. We establish that, for a p-family of ideals, the generalized Hilbert-Kunz multiplicity arises as the limit of Amao-type multiplicities.

Probing Beyond the Standard Model Scenarios in Long-baseline and Astrophysical Neutrino Experiments

Over the past few decades, outstanding progress in the neutrino experiment frontier has greatly advanced our understanding of the flavor oscillations of active neutrinos. The remaining key questions such as the neutrino mass ordering, the presence of CP violation in the lepton sector, and the octant of $\theta_{23}$ are expected to be resolved in the coming years. The current precise knowledge of neutrino mass and mixing parameters, together with the promising prospects of next-generation neutrino experiments, provides a unique opportunity to test scenarios beyond the Standard Model (BSM) through neutrino oscillation phenomena. This thesis investigates several such BSM scenarios and examines the capability of the next-generation neutrino experiments to probe them.

Probing scalar non-standard interaction of supernova neutrinos in next-generation neutrino experiments

A new neutrino-matter interaction can potentially affect neutrino propagation through matter. In this work, we explore the impact of a flavor-conserving scalar-mediated non-standard neutrino interaction in the supernova neutrino flux. We observe that the presence of a scalar interaction involving muon and tau neutrinos (parameterized as $\eta_{\mu\mu}$ and $\eta_{\tau\tau}$, respectively) can invert the neutrino mass eigenstate in which three neutrino flavor states are produced inside the supernova core, resulting in a significant modification of the electron neutrino flux from the supernova reaching the Earth. In the context of the DUNE experiment, we estimate the number of supernova neutrino events in the presence of scalar non-standard neutrino interaction $\eta_{\mu\mu}$ or $\eta_{\tau\tau}$ and contrast with the case without scalar-mediated non-standard interactions. Our results indicate that such scalar interactions introduce a new degeneracy in the measurement of neutrino mass ordering from supernova neutrinos. We show how the $\bar{\nu}_e$ event distribution in Hyper-Kamiokande experiment may help resolve the degeneracy between a model with new scalar interactions for normal ordered neutrino masses and the standard model with inverted mass ordering for a galactic supernova.

Dark energy era with a resolution of Hubble tension in generalized entropic cosmology

We propose a new dark energy (DE) model from four parameter generalized entropy function of apparent horizon in a spatially flat universe. Such kind of generalized entropy is able to generalize all the known entropies proposed so far, for suitable representations of the entropic parameters. It turns out that the scenario can describe the correct thermal history of the universe, with the sequence of matter and dark energy epochs. Comparing with the $\Lambda$CDM model, the proposed generalized entropic DE model provides a higher value of present Hubble parameter for certain range of entropic parameter(s) leading to a possible resolution of Hubble tension issue. We confront the scenario with CC, PantheonPlus+SH0ES, DESI DR1 and compressed Planck likelihood datasets, which clearly depicts the phenomenological viability of the present model for some best fitted values of entropic parameter(s) that are indeed consistent with the resolution of Hubble tension.

Measurement of cosmic muon-induced events in an HPGe detector using time-coincidence technique

Detailed understanding and suppression of backgrounds are among the key challenges faced by Coherent Elastic Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering (CE\ensuremath{\nu}NS) experiments. The sensitivity of these experiments is largely determined by the background levels arising from various sources. Above-ground and shallow-overburden neutrino experiments typically employ passive shielding, primarily composed of lead (Pb), to suppress environmental $\gamma$ background. However, such shielding can introduce additional backgrounds that are particularly challenging for CE\ensuremath{\nu}NS experiments. These backgrounds arise mainly from $\gamma$ and neutrons produced by cosmic muon interactions in the shielding, and their contribution can become significant depending on the amount of Pb shielding used. In the current work, we measure the yield of secondary particles originating from Pb as a result of high-energy cosmic muon interaction, using a high-purity germanium (HPGe) detector and plastic scintillators. A time-coincidence technique is used to identify and reject these secondary background events from the experimental data. The obtained mean characteristic time of these residual background events is 11 $\pm$ 4 $\mu$s, which is consistent with the Geant4-based MC simulation result of 11 $\pm$ 1 $\mu$s. The measured efficiency-corrected rate of muon-induced events in the HPGe detector is 34 $\pm$ 1 (stat.) $\pm$ 3 (sys.) day$^{-1}$kg$^{-1}$ within the energy range of 30 keV to 2000 keV. The yield of muon-induced secondary backgrounds in 10 cm thick Pb shielding is evaluated to be $(11 \pm 1 (\text{stat.}) \pm 1 (\text{sys.}))$ secondary events$\thinspace\text{kg}^{-1}\thinspace\mathrm{m^{-2}}\thinspace\text{muon}^{-1}$ at sea level.

Exploring parametrized dark energy models in interacting scenario

In the present work, we have studied the dynamics of accelerating universe considering a simple parametrization of the equation of state parameter in an interacting scenario. In this toy model, the dark energy component is allowed to interact with the dark matter component through a source term. The expressions for various relevant cosmological parameters for the proposed parametrized model have been obtained and it has been found that the proposed model consistently drives the late time cosmic acceleration of the universe. We have also carried out the Bayesian analysis using recent observational datasets in order to obtain the best fit values of the model parameters. It has been found that the dark energy model with $Q \propto H\rho_{de}$ can provide a possible resolution of the Hubble tension in an interacting scenario where the dark energy component decays into the dark matter.

Constraints on flavor-dependent long-range interactions of high-energy astrophysical neutrinos

Astrophysical neutrinos with energy in the TeV-PeV range traverse megaparsecs (Mpc) to gigaparsecs (Gpc) scale distances before they reach the Earth. Tiny physics effects that get accumulated over these large propagation paths during their journey may become observable at the detector. If there is some new interaction between neutrinos and the background matter, that can potentially affect the propagation of the astrophysical neutrinos. One such possible case is the flavor-dependent long-range interaction of neutrinos, which can affect the standard neutrino flavor transition, modifying the flavor composition of the astrophysical neutrinos at Earth. Using the present-day and future projection of the flavor-composition measurements of IceCube and IceCube-Gen2 along with the present and future measurement of the oscillation parameters, we explore the sensitivity of these experiments to probe long-range neutrino interaction with matter.

Interacting Barrow Holographic Dark Energy in Non-flat Universe

Barrow holographic dark energy model is an extension of holographic dark energy that incorporates modifications to entropy due to quantum gravitational effects. In this work we study the cosmological properties of interacting Barrow holographic dark energy model in the case of non-zero curvature universe. We construct the differential equations governing the evolution of the Barrow holographic dark energy density parameter and the dark matter density parameter in coupled form for both closed and open spatial geometry. Considering three different forms of coupling, we obtain the corresponding analytical expressions for the equation of state parameter for the dark energy component. We confront the scenario using recent observational datasets like cosmic chronometer and Pantheon data. It has been found that the strength of interaction as well as the curvature contribution come out to be nonzero which indicates that a non-flat interacting scenario is preferred by observational data.

Sequential information theoretic protocols in continuous variable systems

In order to enable the sequential implementation of quantum information theoretic protocols in the continuous variable framework, we propose two schemes for resource reusability, resource-splitting protocol and unsharp homodyne measurements. We demonstrate the advantage offered by the first scheme in implementing sequential attempts at continuous variable teleportation when the protocol fails in the previous round. In the second scheme, unsharp quadrature measurements are employed to implement the detection of entanglement between several pairs of observers. Under specific conditions, our calculations show that it is possible to successfully witness the entanglement of the same two-mode state, sequentially by as many as five observers.

Asymptotic colengths for families of ideals: an analytic approach

This article focuses on the existence of asymptotic colengths for families of $\fm_{R}$-primary ideals in a Noetherian local ring $(R,\fm)$. In any characteristic, we generalize graded families to weakly graded families of ideals, and in prime characteristic, we explore various families such as weakly $p$-families and weakly inverse $p$-families. The main contribution of this paper is providing a unified analytic method to prove the existence of limits. Additionally, we establish Brunn-Minkowski type inequalities, positivity results, and volume = multiplicity formulas for these families of ideals.

Model Identifiability for Bivariate Failure Time Data with Competing Risks: Parametric Cause-specific Hazards and Non-parametric Frailty

One of the commonly used approaches to capture dependence in multivariate survival data is through the frailty variables. The identifiability issues should be carefully investigated while modeling multivariate survival with or without competing risks. The use of non-parametric frailty distribution(s) is sometimes preferred for its robustness and flexibility properties. In this paper, we consider modeling of bivariate survival data with competing risks through four different kinds of non-parametric frailty and parametric baseline cause-specific hazard functions to investigate the corresponding model identifiability. We make the common assumption of the frailty mean being equal to unity.

Model Identifiability for Bivariate Failure Time Data with Competing Risk: Non-parametric Cause-specific Hazards and Gamma Frailty

In survival analysis, frailty variables are often used to model the association in multivariate survival data. Identifiability is an important issue while working with such multivariate survival data with or without competing risks. In this work, we consider bivariate survival data with competing risks and investigate identifiability results with non-parametric baseline cause-specific hazards and different types of Gamma frailty. Prior to that, we prove that, when both baseline cause-specific hazards and frailty distributions are non-parametric, the model is not identifiable. We also construct a non-identifiable model when baseline cause-specific hazards are non-parametric but frailty distribution may be parametric. Thereafter, we consider four different Gamma frailty distributions, and the corresponding models are shown to be identifiable under fairly general assumptions.
