Modelling financial time series with $\phi^{4}$ quantum field theory

arXiv:2512.17225v1 Announce Type: cross
Abstract: We use a $\phi^{4}$ quantum field theory with inhomogeneous couplings and explicit symmetry-breaking to model an ensemble of financial time series from the S$\&$P 500 index. The continuum nature of the $\phi^4$ theory avoids the inaccuracies that oc…

Are Vision Language Models Cross-Cultural Theory of Mind Reasoners?

arXiv:2512.17394v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Theory of Mind (ToM) -- the ability to attribute beliefs, desires, and emotions to others -- is fundamental for human social intelligence, yet remains a major challenge for artificial agents. Existing Vision-Language Models (VLMs) are increasingly app…

Exploring the Effect of Basis Rotation on NQS Performance

arXiv:2512.17893v1 Announce Type: cross
Abstract: Neural Quantum States (NQS) use neural networks to represent wavefunctions of quantum many-body systems, but their performance depends on the choice of basis, yet the underlying mechanism remains poorly understood. We use a fully solvable one-dimens…

Compression is Routing: Reconstruction Error as an Intrinsic Signal for Modular Language Models

arXiv:2512.16963v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Current Large Language Models (LLMs) face three major challenges: context length limitations, high inference costs, and catastrophic forgetting during continual learning. While Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architectures mitigate some of these conflicts, t…

A cut finite element method for the Biot system of poroelasticity

arXiv:2512.17521v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: We propose a novel cut finite element method for the numerical solution of the Biot system of poroelasticity. The Biot system couples elastic deformation of a porous solid with viscous fluid flow and commonly arises on domains with complex geometries …

The k-Center Problem of Uncertain Points on Graphs

arXiv:2504.14803v2 Announce Type: replace
Abstract: In this paper, we study the $k$-center problem of uncertain points on a graph. Given are an undirected graph $G = (V, E)$ and a set $\mathcal{P}$ of $n$ uncertain points where each uncertain point with a non-negative weight has $m$ possible locati…

Controlling exciton flow in moiré superlattices: New method leverages correlated electrons

Excitons are pairs of bound negatively charged electrons and positively charged holes that form in semiconductors, enabling the transport of energy in electronic devices. These pairs of charge carriers also emerge in transition metal dichalcogenides, thin semiconducting materials comprised of a tran…
