The Role of Dice in the Emergence of the Probability Calculus
Summary The early development of the probability calculus was clearly influenced by the roll of dice. However, while dice have been cast since time immemorial, documented calculations on the frequency of various dice throws date back only to the mid‐13th century.

Abstract Cellulosomes are multi‐enzyme assemblies whose catalytic efficiency depends on the spatial organization of their components. However, their pronounced conformational flexibility has precluded quantitative characterization of inter‐enzyme distances and overall topology.

Seismic imaging of the critical zone of dolerite dykes at Cap Fréhel in Brittany (France)
Abstract In June 2023, we measured ten near‐surface seismic profiles to image the critical zone of dolerite (diabase) dykes that cut the sandstone at Cap Fréhel in Brittany (France). Seismic ray tracing and inversion are used to determine the thickness of the regolith layer from first‐arrival P‐wave traveltimes.

Abstract Lightning strikes generate broadband electromagnetic signals. At Extremely Low Frequencies (ELF), these signals partly leak into the ionosphere and produce so‐called Lightning Generated (LG) whistlers that the Absolute Scalar Magnetometers on board the ESA Swarm satellites can detect.

Photon‐Sphere Modes in Curved Optical Microcavities: A Black‐Hole Analogue Laser
An optical analogue of a Schwarzschild black hole is realized using curved microcavities that preserve light‐like geodesics. A new family of laser modes confined around the photon sphere is identified alongside conventional whispering‐gallery modes. Analytical theory, numerical simulations, and experiments reveal curvature‐induced confinement, enabling

ABSTRACT In this paper, we continue the development of the Cartan neural networks programme, launched with three previous publications, by focusing on some mathematical foundational aspects that we deem necessary for our next steps forward. The mathematical and conceptual results are diverse and span various mathematical fields, but the inspiring ...

Solving the n $n$‐Player Tullock Contest
ABSTRACT The n $n$‐player Tullock contest with complete information is known to admit explicit solutions in special cases, such as (i) homogeneous valuations, (ii) constant returns, and (iii) two contestants. But can the model be solved more generally?

f$f$‐Diophantine sets over finite fields via quasi‐random hypergraphs from multivariate polynomials
Abstract We investigate f$f$‐Diophantine sets over finite fields via new explicit constructions of families of quasi‐random hypergraphs from multivariate polynomials. In particular, our construction not only offers a systematic method for constructing quasi‐random hypergraphs but also provides a unified framework for studying various hypergraphs ...

Variable selection via thresholding
Abstract Variable selection comprises an important step in many modern statistical inference procedures. In the regression setting, when estimators cannot shrink irrelevant signals to zero, covariates without relationships to the response often manifest small but nonzero regression coefficients.
