‘Science Is Universal-It Knows No Borders
Fuad Aleskerov, Tenured Professor and Director of the International Centre of Decision Choice and Analysis at HSE University, together with his colleagues, has developed methods of network analysis in bibliometrics that have made it possible to identify patterns in the appearance and citation of publications in academic journals, as well as their influence on each other. When one or a number of studies are frequently cited by a wide range of journals, this is an indicator that the research is of high quality. By contrast, extensive cross-citation within a limited group of journals increases the likelihood of identifying a network of predatory publications.

New bound on S1× S2-setting Bell locality of a nonseparable Werner state
Loubenets E. R., / Series arxiv.org "quant-ph". 2026. No. 2607.18050.
In many quantum applications it is important to know whether or not a Bell nonlocal two-qudit state exhibits its nonlocality under correlation scenarios with some given numbers S1,S2≥1 of generalized quantum measurements at two sites. In the present article, we find analytically a new general locality condition sufficient for a  nonseparable Werner state with a ...

On functional equations for Chow polylogarithms
Bolbachan V., / Series math "arxiv.org". 2024.
Chow polylogarithms are some special functions arising in explicit description of the Beilinson regulator map. The most interesting functional equation for this function reflects its vanishing on the boundary in the Bloch's cycle complex. We show that this functional equation formally follows from more simple ones, namely skew-symmetry, functoriality and multiplicativity. To prove this, we study ...

Statistical inference based on band-limited kernels: Rational-infinitely divisible distributions and beyond
Panov V., Ryabchenko A., / Series arXiv "stat.ME". 2026. No. 2607.05048.
This paper investigates the problem of statistical inference for a mixture distribution consisting of a discrete and a continuous component, with a particular focus on the class of rational-infinitely divisible distributions. We consider non-parametric estimation of both components of the mixture as well as the quasi-L{é}vy measure, assuming that the mixture belongs to the class ...

Growth in noncommutative algebras and entropy in derived categories
Piontkovski D., / Series arXiv "math". 2026.
A noncommutative projective variety is defined, following Artin and Zhang, by a graded coherent algebra 𝐴. The category of coherent sheaves is then the quotient qgr(𝐴) of the category of finitely presented graded modules by the subcategory of torsion modules. We consider the categorical and polynomial entropies of the Serre twist, that is, of the ...

Multilinear nilalgebras and the Jacobian theorem
Piontkovski D., / Series arXiv "math". 2025.
If a symmetric multilinear algebra is weakly nil, then it is Engel. This result may be regarded as an infinite-dimensional analogue of the well-known Jacobian theorem, which states that if a polynomial mapping has a polynomial inverse, then its Jacobian matrix is invertible. This refines a theorem of Gerstenhaber and partially answers a question posed ...

Strong Approximations for Markov Chains Weakly Converging to Diffusions
Konakov V., Kucher D., Mammen E., / Series arXiv "math". 2026. No. 2606.11142v1.
In this paper, we construct strong approximations for discrete-time Markov chains weakly converging to continuous diffusion processes, as well as for their perturbed counterparts. Under the assumption of bounded coefficients, we construct closely coupled versions of these processes on a shared probability space. In particular, for both non-degenerate and degenerate cases, we maximize the probability ...

ML-based Fast Simulation of FARICH Responses
Shipilov F., Barnyakov A., Ivanov A. et al., / Series Physics "arxiv.org". 2026.
A fast simulation of the detector response is a vital task in high-energy physics (HEP). Traditional Monte-Carlo methods form the backbone of modern particle physics simulation software but are computationally expensive. We present a machine-learning-based approach to fast simulation of the Focusing Aerogel Ring Imaging Cherenkov (FARICH) detector response. Given a particle track and momentum, ...

In this paper the structural stability of generic families of vector fields of the PC-HC class on the two-dimensional sphere is proved. A classification of these families up to moderate equivalence in neighborhoods of their large bifurcation supports is presented, based on such invariants as the configuration and the characteristic set. The realization lemma is proved. ...

On the minimum number of maximal distance-k independent sets in trees
Taletskii D., / Series arXiv "math". 2026.
A vertex subset of a graph is called a \textit{distance-$k$ independent set} if the distance between any two of its distinct vertices is at least $k + 1$. For all $n,k \geq 1$, we determine the minimum possible number of inclusion-wise maximal distance-$k$ independent sets among all $n$-vertex trees. It equals~$n$ if $n \leq k ...

Derkacheva A., Sakirkina M., Kraev G. et al., /. 2026.
Comprehensive data on natural hazards and their consequences are crucial for effective for risk assessment, adaptation planning, and emergency response. However, many countries face challenges with fragmented, inconsistent, and inaccessible data, particularly regarding local-scale events. To address this data gap in Russia, we developed an end-to-end processing pipeline that scrapes news from various online sources, ...

We deal with the global in time weak solutions to the 1D compressible Navier-Stokes system of equations for large discontinuous initial data and nonhomogeneous boundary conditions of three standard types. We prove the Lipschitz-type continuous dependence of the solution $(\eta,u,\theta)$, in a norm slightly stronger than $L^{2,\infty}(Q)\times L^2(Q)\times L^2(Q)$,  on the initial data $(\eta^0,u^0,e^0)$ in a ...

Kolmogorov’s Last Discovery? (Kolmogorov and Algorithmic Statistics)
Semenov A., Shen A., Vereshchagin N., Theory of Probability and its Applications, USA 2024 Vol. 68 No. 4 P. 582–606
The definition of descriptional complexity of finite objects suggested by Kolmogorov and other authors in the mid-1960s is now well known. In addition, Kolmogorov pointed out some approaches to a more fine-grained classification of finite objects, such as the resource-bounded complexity (1965), structure function (1974), and the notion of $(\alpha,\beta)$-stochasticity (1981). Later it turned out ...

On information content in certain objects
Vereshchagin N., / Series arXiv "math". 2024.
The fine approach to measure information dependence is based on the total conditional complexity CT(y|x), which is defined as the minimal length of a total program that outputs y on the input x. It is known that the total conditional complexity can be much larger than than the plain conditional complexity. Such strings x, y ...

Universal almost optimal compression and Slepian-Wolf coding in probabilistic polynomial time
Bauwens B. F., Zimand M., Journal of the ACM 2023 Vol. 70 No. 2 Article 9
In a lossless compression system with target lengths, a compressor 𝒞 maps an integer m and a binary string x to an m-bit code p, and if m is sufficiently large, a decompressor 𝒟 reconstructs x from p. We call a pair (m,x) achievable for (𝒞,𝒟) if this reconstruction is successful. We introduce the notion ...

Inequalities for space-bounded Kolmogorov complexity
Bauwens B. F., Gács P., Romashchenko A. et al., Computability 2022 Vol. 11 No. 3-4 P. 165–185
Finding all linear inequalities for entropies remains an important open question in information theory. For a long time the only known inequalities for entropies of tuples of random variables were Shannon (submodularity) inequalities. Only in 1998 Zhang and Yeung 1998 found the first inequality that cannot be represented as a convex combination of Shannon inequalities, and ...

Predictions and Algorithmic Statistics for Infinite Sequences
Milovanov A., , in: Computer Science – Theory and Applications: 16th International Computer Science Symposium in Russia, CSR 2021, Sochi, Russia, June 28–July 2, 2021, Proceedings.: Springer, 2021. Ch. 17 P. 283–295.
We combine Solomonoff’s approach to universal prediction with algorithmic statistics and suggest to use the computable measure that provides the best “explanation” for the observed data (in the sense of algorithmic statistics) for prediction. In this way we keep the expected sum of squares of prediction errors bounded (as it was for the Solomonoff’s predictor) ...

It is known that the normalized algorithmic information distance is not computable and not semicomputable. We show that for all 𝜀<1/2, there exist no semicomputable functions that differ from N by at most 𝜀. Moreover, for any computable function f such that |lim𝑡𝑓(𝑥,𝑦,𝑡)−N(𝑥,𝑦)|≤𝜀 and for all n, there exist strings x, y of length n such that ...
