Some geometry and combinatorics for the S-invariant of ternary cubics
Given a real cubic form f(x,y,z), there is a pseudo-Riemannian metric given by its Hessian matrix, defined on the open subset of R^3 where the Hessian determinant h is non-zero.

Survey on differential estimators for 3d point clouds
Abstract Recent advancements in 3D scanning technologies, including LiDAR and photogrammetry, have enabled the precise digital replication of real‐world objects. These methods are widely used in fields such as GIS, robotics, and cultural heritage. However, the point clouds generated by such scans are often noisy and unstructured, posing challenges for ...

Establishing Shape Correspondences: A Survey
Abstract Shape correspondence between surfaces in 3D is a central problem in geometry processing, concerned with establishing meaningful relations between surfaces. While all correspondence problems share this goal, specific formulations can differ significantly: Downstream applications require certain properties that correspondences must satisfy ...

From gateway to value ladder—The curious case of online mutual aid in China
Abstract This study examines how InsurTech‐enabled information provision, specifically the disclosure of claimant information previously unavailable in conventional insurance, influences individuals' insurance uptake. We leverage Mutual Aid (MA) platforms as a natural context to examine how socially framed loss information, peer influence, and salience

The Cross and Conflict: How Do Christians Impact Protest Dynamics?
ABSTRACT This study examines the relationship between Christian actors, practices, and sacred sites in US protests and demonstrations, focusing on how political ideology shapes conflict outcomes. Using event‐level data from the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED), the analysis explores 63,000 protest events from 2020 to 2024 ...

Robust CDF‐Filtering of a Location Parameter
ABSTRACT This paper introduces a novel framework for designing robust filters associated with signal plus noise models having symmetric observation density. The filters are obtained by a recursion where the innovation term is a transform of the cumulative distribution function of the residuals.

Testing Distributional Granger Causality With Entropic Optimal Transport
ABSTRACT We develop a novel nonparametric test for Granger causality in distribution based on entropic optimal transport. Unlike classical mean‐based approaches, the proposed method directly compares the full conditional distributions of a response variable with and without the history of a candidate predictor.

Reinforcement Learning for Jump‐Diffusions, With Financial Applications
ABSTRACT We study continuous‐time reinforcement learning (RL) for stochastic control in which system dynamics are governed by jump‐diffusion processes. We formulate an entropy‐regularized exploratory control problem with stochastic policies to capture the exploration–exploitation balance essential for RL.

Cross‐Method Explanation Stability Under Prediction‐Preserving Perturbations in Explainable AI
The cross‐method analysis showed common vulnerability patterns across gradient‐based and perturbation‐based explainers, whereas Grad‐CAM demonstrated a specific ability to be resilient. Further discussion revealed that, before prediction changes with increasing ε, explanation divergence could already have commenced, indicating that further explanation ...

ABSTRACT The mechanical efficiency of civil engineering structures is a key factor in the sustainable transformation of the building sector. This study presents topology optimization in civil engineering design. The static load profile of civil engineering structures is typically dominated by their self‐weight, which introduces, as a special ...
