$L^p$-Estimates for maximal averages along mixed homogeneous hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{R}^{3}$

In this paper, we study $L^p$-estimates for maximal averaging operators $\mathcal M$ along hypersurfaces $S$ in $\mathbb{R}^{3}$ which are the graph of a mixed homogeneous function $Φ$ which is analytic away from the origin. The closure of such a surface will pass through the origin, so that the usual transversality condition that had been imposed in many previous works on maximal averages along hypersurfaces will not hold even when $Φ$ is analytic at the origin. As our main result, under mild assumptions which are satisfied for instance for every mixed homogeneous polynomial $Φ,$ we determine the critical Lebesgue exponent $p_c$ for which $\mathcal M$ is $L^p$-bounded for every $p>p_c,$ but unbounded for $p<p_c,$ in terms of multiplicities of the real roots of the Hessian determinant of $Φ.$ It turns out that the study of the contributions by neighborhoods of a certain type of roots is closely related to recent work by Dendrinos, Ikromov and the first and third author on sharp estimates for a maximal averaging operator along a transversal hypersurface of an ``exceptional'' class, whose $L^p$-boundedness had been an open problem for a long time and which has recently been established by means of their new theory of FIO-cone multipliers.

A Study on Kakeya Needle Problem for $(n-1)$-Rectifiable Sets

In this article we study the analog of Kakeya needle problem for $(n-1)$-rectifiable sets in $\mathbb{R}^n$ and construct the related Nikodym type sets. The novelty of our approach lies in combining three ingredients: the two-dimensional Venetian blind-type construction for isometries in $\mathbb{R}^n$; the normal geometry of a $(n-1)$-rectifiable set viewed in the projective setting; and measure estimates of moving $(n-1)$-rectifiable sets by isometries in $\mathbb{R}^n$. Together, these ingredients enable us to move $(n-1)$-rectifiable sets along paths of isometries in $\mathbb{R}^n$ and cover a Lebesgue null set.

Security in the Fine-Tuning Lifecycle of Large Language Models: Threats, Defenses,Evaluation, and Future Directions

Background: Fine-tuning is central to adapting pre-trained Large Language Models (LLMs) to downstream tasks, but its reliance on training data, parameter updates, and reusable components opens entry points for attackers. Threats have evolved from data poisoning and weight tampering to agent manipulation and interface exploitation, yet existing reviews lack a unified framework spanning the full fine-tuning lifecycle. Objective: This paper presents a systematic survey of LLM fine-tuning security and establishes a lifecycle-based framework for comparing attacks and defenses, complemented by unified empirical evaluation. Methods: We divide attack and defense mechanisms into three phases by intervention timing: pre-tuning, during-tuning, and post-tuning. Within each phase, strategies are reviewed and contrasted to expose their evolution and limitations. Representative methods are then evaluated under a unified model, hardware, and protocol setup, with cross-phase experiments pairing attacks and defenses from different phases. Results: Attack effectiveness is highly model-dependent and non-monotonic with scale: weight-editing attacks effective on earlier models lose impact on modern open-source LLMs; cross-lingual backdoor transfer, reported as near-perfect at larger scales, fails entirely on tested 1B-4B models; and purely benign samples can compromise safety alignment in instruction-tuned models. Single-phase defenses rarely generalize across phases, and defense effectiveness depends jointly on model architecture and alignment state. Conclusion: We identify key open problems (configuration-robust defense, cross-phase defense composition, and embedding-space attacks beyond behavioral assumptions) and propose concrete future research directions.

Maximal functions related to homogeneous hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{R}^3$

We study maximal functions related to homogeneous polynomial hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{R}^3$. In a sense made precise in this paper, the region of $(p,q)$ for which we obtain $L^p\rightarrow L^q$ boundedness is optimal up to the endpoints for the corresponding local maximal operators. The boundedness exponents depend explicitly on both the height of the hypersurface and the type of the curve determined by the level set. As a corollary, we obtain $L^p$-estimates and weighted norm inequalities for the associated global maximal functions. Moreover, we also obtain optimal $L^{p}$-estimates for the global maximal operators associated with homogeneous polynomial hypersurfaces without transversality condition in $\mathbb{R}^{3}$.

Stabilizing correlated pair tunneling of spin-orbit-coupled bosons in a non-Hermitian driven double well

We present an analytical framework for stabilizing second-order correlated tunneling of two spin-orbit-coupled bosons in a periodically driven non-Hermitian double-well potential. By combining Floquet theory with multiple-scale asymptotic analysis, we derive effective second-order dynamics and exact quasienergy spectra in the strongly interacting regime. Our analysis reveals distinct stability mechanisms for three fundamental tunneling channels: interwell spin-conserving, interwell spin-flipping, and intrawell spin-flipping. For balanced gain and loss, we identify discrete, well-defined parameter regions where stable pair tunneling emerges, with the spin-flipping channel exhibiting a characteristic symmetry absent in its spin-conserving counterpart. Under unbalanced gain-loss conditions, stability is achieved only when the gain and loss coefficients satisfy specific parametric relations, enabling dissipation-controlled tunneling. Most notably, stable intrawell spin-flipping, while inherently unstable for an initial Fock state, becomes accessible when the system is prepared in a coherent superposition state, thereby revealing that initial-state coherence can serve as a control parameter for dynamical stability in non-Hermitian systems. These results expand the possibilities for controlling correlated tunneling in many-body systems with engineered dissipation.

Endpoint estimates for maximal operators associated to the wave equation

We consider the $H^{s}$--$L^q$ maximal estimates associated to the wave operator \begin{equation*} e^{ it\sqrt{-Δ}}f(x) = \frac{1}{(2π)^d}\int_{\mathbb{R}^d} e^{i(x \cdot ξ\, + t|ξ|)} \widehat{f}(ξ\,) dξ. \end{equation*} Rogers--Villarroya proved $H^{s}$--$L^q$ estimates for the maximal operator $f\mapsto$ $\sup_{t} |e^{ it\sqrt{-Δ}}f|$ up to the critical Sobolev exponents $s_c(q,d)$. However, the endpoint case estimates for the critical exponent $s=s_c(q,d)$ have remained open so far. We obtain the endpoint $H^{s_c(q,d)}$--$L^q$ bounds on the maximal operator $f\mapsto \sup_{t} |e^{ it\sqrt{-Δ}}f|$. We also prove that several different forms of the maximal estimates considered by Rogers--Villarroya are basically equivalent to each other.

FoMo4Wheat: Toward reliable crop vision foundation models with globally curated data

Vision-driven field monitoring is central to digital agriculture, yet models built on general-domain pretrained backbones often fail to generalize across tasks, owing to the interaction of fine, variable canopy structures with fluctuating field conditions. We present FoMo4Wheat, one of the first crop-domain vision foundation model pretrained with self-supervision on ImAg4Wheat, the largest and most diverse wheat image dataset to date (2.5 million high-resolution images collected over a decade at 30 global sites, spanning >2,000 genotypes and >500 environmental conditions). This wheat-specific pretraining yields representations that are robust for wheat and transferable to other crops and weeds. Across ten in-field vision tasks at canopy and organ levels, FoMo4Wheat models consistently outperform state-of-the-art models pretrained on general-domain dataset. These results demonstrate the value of crop-specific foundation models for reliable in-field perception and chart a path toward a universal crop foundation model with cross-species and cross-task capabilities. FoMo4Wheat models and the ImAg4Wheat dataset are publicly available online: https://github.com/PheniX-Lab/FoMo4Wheat and https://huggingface.co/PheniX-Lab/FoMo4Wheat. The demonstration website is: https://fomo4wheat.phenix-lab.com/.

Stability of spin dynamics for a spin-orbit coupled boson in a driven non-Hermitian double well

We study the stability of spin dynamics for a spin-orbit (SO) coupled boson held in a driven non-Hermitian double-well potential. Under high-frequency approximation, we analytically derive the Floquet states and complex Floquet quasienergies of the system and reveal a striking parity-dependent stability criterion: when the ratio of the Zeeman field strength to the driving frequency $Ω/ω$ is even, stable spin dynamics can be achieved for \emph{arbitrary} SO coupling strength. However, when $Ω/ω$ is odd, stability requires the SO coupling strength to be integer or half-integer values. Particularly, we find four types of stability boundary lines for non-zero bias field strength, in sharp contrast to the commonly observed stability regions. These results establish a tunable parity-governed mechanism for stabilizing spin dynamics in non-Hermitian cold atomic systems.

Integer Binary-Range Alignment Neuron for Spiking Neural Networks

Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) are noted for their brain-like computation and energy efficiency, but their performance lags behind Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) in tasks like image classification and object detection due to the limited representational capacity. To address this, we propose a novel spiking neuron, Integer Binary-Range Alignment Leaky Integrate-and-Fire to exponentially expand the information expression capacity of spiking neurons with only a slight energy increase. This is achieved through Integer Binary Leaky Integrate-and-Fire and range alignment strategy. The Integer Binary Leaky Integrate-and-Fire allows integer value activation during training and maintains spike-driven dynamics with binary conversion expands virtual timesteps during inference. The range alignment strategy is designed to solve the spike activation limitation problem where neurons fail to activate high integer values. Experiments show our method outperforms previous SNNs, achieving 74.19% accuracy on ImageNet and 66.2% mAP@50 and 49.1% mAP@50:95 on COCO, surpassing previous bests with the same architecture by +3.45% and +1.6% and +1.8%, respectively. Notably, our SNNs match or exceed ANNs' performance with the same architecture, and the energy efficiency is improved by 6.3${\times}$.

Global Rice Multi-Class Segmentation Dataset (RiceSEG): A Comprehensive and Diverse High-Resolution RGB-Annotated Images for the Development and Benchmarking of Rice Segmentation Algorithms

Developing computer vision-based rice phenotyping techniques is crucial for precision field management and accelerating breeding, thereby continuously advancing rice production. Among phenotyping tasks, distinguishing image components is a key prerequisite for characterizing plant growth and development at the organ scale, enabling deeper insights into eco-physiological processes. However, due to the fine structure of rice organs and complex illumination within the canopy, this task remains highly challenging, underscoring the need for a high-quality training dataset. Such datasets are scarce, both due to a lack of large, representative collections of rice field images and the time-intensive nature of annotation. To address this gap, we established the first comprehensive multi-class rice semantic segmentation dataset, RiceSEG. We gathered nearly 50,000 high-resolution, ground-based images from five major rice-growing countries (China, Japan, India, the Philippines, and Tanzania), encompassing over 6,000 genotypes across all growth stages. From these original images, 3,078 representative samples were selected and annotated with six classes (background, green vegetation, senescent vegetation, panicle, weeds, and duckweed) to form the RiceSEG dataset. Notably, the sub-dataset from China spans all major genotypes and rice-growing environments from the northeast to the south. Both state-of-the-art convolutional neural networks and transformer-based semantic segmentation models were used as baselines. While these models perform reasonably well in segmenting background and green vegetation, they face difficulties during the reproductive stage, when canopy structures are more complex and multiple classes are involved. These findings highlight the importance of our dataset for developing specialized segmentation models for rice and other crops.

A General Neural Network Potential for Energetic Materials with C, H, N, and O elements

The discovery and optimization of high-energy materials (HEMs) are constrained by the prohibitive computational expense and prolonged development cycles inherent in conventional approaches. In this work, we develop a general neural network potential (NNP) that efficiently predicts the structural, mechanical, and decomposition properties of HEMs composed of C, H, N, and O. Our framework leverages pre-trained NNP models, fine-tuned using transfer learning on energy and force data derived from density functional theory (DFT) calculations. This strategy enables rapid adaptation across 20 different HEM systems while maintaining DFT-level accuracy, significantly reducing computational costs. A key aspect of this work is the ability of NNP model to capture the chemical activity space of HEMs, accurately describe the key atomic interactions and reaction mechanisms during thermal decomposition. The general NNP model has been applied in molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and validated with experimental data for various HEM structures. Results show that the NNP model accurately predicts the structural, mechanical, and decomposition properties of HEMs by effectively describing their chemical activity space. Compared to traditional force fields, it offers superior DFT-level accuracy and generalization across both microscopic and macroscopic properties, reducing the computational and experimental costs. This work provides an efficient strategy for the design and development of HEMs and proposes a promising framework for integrating DFT, machine learning, and experimental methods in materials research. (To facilitate further research and practical applications, we open-source our NNP model on GitHub: https://github.com/MingjieWen/General-NNP-model-for-C-H-N-O-Energetic-Materials.)

NFT1000: A Cross-Modal Dataset for Non-Fungible Token Retrieval

With the rise of "Metaverse" and "Web 3.0", Non-Fungible Token (NFT) has emerged as a kind of pivotal digital asset, garnering significant attention. By the end of March 2024, more than 1.7 billion NFTs have been minted across various blockchain platforms. To effectively locate a desired NFT, conducting searches within a vast array of NFTs is essential. The challenge in NFT retrieval is heightened due to the high degree of similarity among different NFTs, regarding regional and semantic aspects. In this paper, we will introduce a benchmark dataset named "NFT Top1000 Visual-Text Dataset" (NFT1000), containing 7.56 million image-text pairs, and being collected from 1000 most famous PFP1 NFT collections2 by sales volume on the Ethereum blockchain. Based on this dataset and leveraging the CLIP series of pre-trained models as our foundation, we propose the dynamic masking fine-tuning scheme. This innovative approach results in a 7.4\% improvement in the top1 accuracy rate, while utilizing merely 13\% of the total training data (0.79 million vs. 6.1 million). We also propose a robust metric Comprehensive Variance Index (CVI) to assess the similarity and retrieval difficulty of visual-text pairs data. The dataset will be released as an open-source resource. For more details, please refer to: https://github.com/ShuxunoO/NFT-Net.git.

Endpoint regularity of general Fourier integral operators

Let $n\geq 1,0<ρ<1, \max\{ρ,1-ρ\}\leq δ\leq 1$ and $$m_1=ρ-n+(n-1)\min\{\frac 12,ρ\}+\frac {1-δ}{2}.$$ If the amplitude $a$ belongs to the Hörmander class $S^{m_1}_{ρ,δ}$ and $ϕ\in Φ^{2}$ satisfies the strong non-degeneracy condition, then we prove that the following Fourier integral operator $T_{ϕ,a}$ defined by \begin{align*} T_{ϕ,a}f(x)=\int_{\mathbb{R}^{n}}e^{iϕ(x,ξ)}a(x,ξ)\widehat{f}(ξ)dξ, \end{align*} is bounded from the local Hardy space $h^1(\mathbb{R}^n)$ to $L^1(\mathbb{R}^n)$. As a corollary, we can also obtain the corresponding $L^p(\mathbb{R}^n)$-boundedness when $1<p<2$. These theorems are rigorous improvements on the recent works of Staubach and his collaborators. When $0\leq ρ\leq 1,δ\leq \max\{ρ,1-ρ\}$, by using some similar techniques in this note, we can get the corresponding theorems which coincide with the known results.

Aligning Human Intent from Imperfect Demonstrations with Confidence-based Inverse soft-Q Learning

Imitation learning attracts much attention for its ability to allow robots to quickly learn human manipulation skills through demonstrations. However, in the real world, human demonstrations often exhibit random behavior that is not intended by humans. Collecting high-quality human datasets is both challenging and expensive. Consequently, robots need to have the ability to learn behavioral policies that align with human intent from imperfect demonstrations. Previous work uses confidence scores to extract useful information from imperfect demonstrations, which relies on access to ground truth rewards or active human supervision. In this paper, we propose a transition-based method to obtain fine-grained confidence scores for data without the above efforts, which can increase the success rate of the baseline algorithm by 40.3$\%$ on average. We develop a generalized confidence-based imitation learning framework for guiding policy learning, called Confidence-based Inverse soft-Q Learning (CIQL), as shown in Fig.1. Based on this, we analyze two ways of processing noise and find that penalization is more aligned with human intent than filtering.

Variational inequalities for generalized spherical means

In this paper, we establish the $L^{p}(\mathbb{R}^{d})$-boundedness of the variation operator and the $δ$-jump operator for generalized spherical means, and we also show the necessary conditions for the $L^{p}(\mathbb{R}^{d})$-boundedness of these operators. These results are almost optimal when $d=2$.

Analytical results for a spin-orbit coupled atom held in a non-Hermitian double well under synchronous combined modulation

We propose a simple method of synchronous combined modulations to generate the exact analytic solutions for a spin-orbit (SO) coupled ultracold atom held in a non-Hermitian double-well potential. Based on the obtained analytical solutions, we mainly study the parity-time ($\mathcal{PT}$) symmetry of this system and the system stability for both balanced and unbalanced gain-loss between two wells. Under balanced gain and loss, the effect of the proportional constants between synchronous combined modulations and the SO-coupling strength on the $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetry breaking is revealed analytically. Surprisingly, we find when the Zeeman field is present, the stable spin-flipping tunneling between two wells can not occur in the non-Hermitian SO-coupled ultracold atomic system, but the stable spin-conserving tunneling can be performed. Under unbalanced gain and loss, the unique set of parameter conditions that can cause the system to stabilize is found. The results may provide a possibility for the exact control of $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetry breaking and quantum spin dynamics in a non-Hermitian SO-coupled system.

Exact solutions for a spin-orbit coupled bosonic double-well system

Exact solutions for spin-orbit (SO) coupled cold atomic systems are very important and rare in physics. In this paper, we propose a simple method of combined modulations to generate the analytic exact solutions for an SO-coupled boson held in a driven double well. For the cases of synchronous combined modulations and the spin-conserving tunneling, we obtain the general analytical accurate solutions of the system respectively. For the case of spin-flipping tunneling under asynchronous combined modulations, we get the special exact solutions in simple form when the driving parameters satisfy certain conditions. Based on these obtained exact solutions, we reveal some intriguing quantum spin dynamical phenomena, for instance, the arbitrary population transfer (APT) with and/or without spin-flipping, the controlled coherent population conservation (CCPC), and the controlled coherent population inversion (CCPI). The results may have potential applications in the preparation of accurate quantum entangled states and quantum information processing.
