Impact of Geography on Institutions in Agricultural and Nomadic Societies
ABSTRACT How geography affects the choice of institutions is studied in a theoretical model. In this model, nations are located around a circle. Rulers compete through choosing tax rates, the level of military spending, and the degree of formality of institutions. Geographic condition is captured by population density.

Conditional Randomization Tests for the Specification of Interference Structure
ABSTRACT This study proposes specification tests for interference structure in causal inference with spillovers. We focus on experimental settings in which the treatment assignment mechanism is known. To test whether a given exposure mapping adequately summarizes the true interference structure, we develop conditional randomization tests by utilizing ...

On a Clique‐Building Game of Erdős
ABSTRACT The following game was introduced in a list of open problems from 1983 attributed to Erdős: two players take turns claiming edges of a Kn ${K}_{n}$ until all edges are exhausted. Player 1 wins the game if the largest clique that they claim at the end is strictly larger than the largest clique of their opponent; otherwise, Player 2 wins the ...

ABSTRACT In this paper we define a degree for ends of infinite digraphs. The well‐definedness of our definition in particular resolves a problem by Zuther. Furthermore, we extend our notion of end degree to also respect, among others, the vertices dominating the end, which we denote as combined end degree.

Trigonometric words ranking model for spam message classification
Abstract The significant increase in the volume of fake (spam) messages has led to an urgent need to develop and implement a robust anti‐spam method. Several of the current anti‐spam systems depend mainly on the word order of the message in determining the spam message, which results in the system's inability to predict the correct type of message when

Lattice Resonances in Periodic Arrays of Time‐Modulated Scatterers
This work explores how periodic time modulation alters the collective optical behavior of periodic arrays of scatterers, shedding light on the critical role of collective effects in time‐varying photonic systems and unveiling new opportunities for amplification, active control, and nonreciprocal functionalities.

Revealing the Resonant Physics of Open Photonic Time Crystals
ABSTRACT Photonic time crystals (PTCs) are media whose permittivity is modulated periodically in time, enabling momentum bandgaps and parametric amplification of light. Their realization at the nanoscale can revolutionize the study of light‐matter interactions.

Optical limiting in a nanomaterial‐polymer saturable absorber is harnessed as a functional intracavity degree of freedom, where pump‐controlled photothermal loss continuously reshapes the gain spectrum of rare‐earth ions, enabling non‐mechanical spectral engineering in an ultrafast fiber laser.
