Degree theory for 4‐dimensional asymptotically conical gradient expanding solitons
Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics, EarlyView.Abstract We develop a new degree theory for 4‐dimensional, asymptotically conical gradient expanding solitons. Our theory implies the existence of gradient expanding solitons that are asymptotic to any given cone over S3$S^3$ with non‐negative scalar curvature. We also obtain a similar existence result for cones whose link is diffeomorphic to S3/Γ$S^3/\

InfoMat, EarlyView.Fullerenes tend to alloy with polymer:nonfullerene acceptor hosts, yielding composition‐dependent increases in open‐circuit voltage while recombination remains governed by the charge‐transfer state energy and is independent of the nature of the third component.

Why Is Exclusivity in Broadcasting Rights Prevalent and Why Does Simple Regulation Fail?
The RAND Journal of Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Pay‐TV firms compete both downstream to attract viewers and upstream to acquire broadcasting rights. Because profits inherited from downstream competition satisfy a convexity property, allocating rights to the dominant firm maximizes the industry profit.

An Economic Analysis of Difficulty Adjustment Algorithms in Proof‐of‐Work Blockchain Systems
International Economic Review, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We study the stability of cryptocurrency systems through difficulty adjustment. Bitcoin's difficulty adjustment algorithm (DAA) exhibits instability when the reward elasticity of the hash rate is high, implying that a sharp price reduction could disrupt the current Bitcoin system.

Noûs, EarlyView.ABSTRACT It is a truism of mathematics that differences between isomorphic number systems are irrelevant to arithmetic. This truism is deeply rooted in the modern axiomatic method and underlies most strands of arithmetical structuralism, the view that arithmetic is about some abstract number structure.

Theoria, EarlyView.Abstract This paper argues for the significance of Kaplan's logic LD in two ways: first, by looking at how logic got along before we had LD, and second, by using it to bring out the similarity between David Hume's thesis that one cannot deduce claims about the future on the basis of premises only about the past, and the so‐called "essentiality" of the ...

Equivariant toric geometry and Euler–Maclaurin formulae
Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics, Volume 79, Issue 3, Page 451-557, March 2026.Abstract We first investigate torus‐equivariant motivic characteristic classes of toric varieties, and then apply them via the equivariant Riemann–Roch formalism to prove very general Euler–Maclaurin‐type formulae for full‐dimensional simple lattice polytopes.

Major Conundrums and Possible Solutions in DeFi Insurance
International Journal of Finance &Economics, Volume 31, Issue 1, Page 489-501, January 2026.ABSTRACT This paper empirically explores the early development of insurance projects in the decentralised finance (DeFi) industry, which is based on disruptive technologies like blockchain and smart contracts. A brief history of DeFi is narrated, stressing four risks of DeFi (volatility risk, cyberattack risk, liquidity risk, and regulation risk) and ...

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract Total Contributing Area (TCA) has been extensively accepted as a crucial terrain attribute in digital terrain analysis and geological simulations. However, existing flow direction algorithms work poorly in the accuracy of TCA estimation due to the irrationality of their empirically designed strategies.
