Rational points on even‐dimensional Fermat cubics
Abstract We show that even‐dimensional Fermat cubic hypersurfaces are rational over any field of characteristic not equal to three, by constructing explicit rational parameterizations with polynomials of low degree. As a byproduct of our rationality constructions, we obtain estimates for the number of their rational points over a number field and ...

EEG Brain Rhythms During Resting‐State Wakefulness and Sleep in Elderly Expert Meditators
Compared to controls, elderly expert meditators exhibited (1) more preserved resting‐state brain activity, (2) less altered sleep architecture, and (3) EEG features indicative of heightened cognitive states during NREM sleep. Importantly, several of the metrics that differed between groups also showed consistent correlations with meditation expertise ...
