When Pictures Hinder Understanding: Illustrations May Impede Learning of Abstract Ideas
Illustrations can help remember specific actions but do not always make abstract ideas easier to learn. Researchers from HSE University and Humboldt University compared how people learn from texts with different levels of abstractness. They found that participants remembered illustrations better and performed better on related tasks after reading a multimedia text about yoga asanas than after reading an abstract text about the Nash equilibrium. The findings could help improve the selection of illustrations for educational and informational materials. The study has been published in Learning and Instruction.

'I Wish That People Would Place Greater Trust in Science'
When Tatiana Eremicheva chose Fundamental and Computational Linguistics as her field of study, she thought it would be about learning languages. Instead, she discovered it was about helping people. In this interview for the HSE Young Scientists project, she discusses science as a way of understanding the world, billiards as a team-building activity, and why learning to read is not always as easy as it seems.

Immunity to Chaos: How Personal Resources Help Us Cope with the Challenges of a Turbulent World
International conflicts, crises and digital overload—the modern world puts our minds to the test every day. Traditional psychology often focuses on the consequences: anxiety, depression, and psychosomatic disorders. But what if we looked at the problem differently—through the lens of the resources that prevent us from breaking down? Psychological immunity is precisely this set of resources. Alena Zolotareva and her group, Psychological Immunity as a Resource for Positive Functioning, are developing an integrative model of this phenomenon, adapting diagnostic tools and preparing for large-scale empirical research. Why do psychologists need to collaborate with medical professionals, and how could their research transform preventive care in clinics and corporations?

Correlations of Vorticity inside a Coherent Vortex
I. V. Kolokolov, V. V. Lebedev, Tumakova M. M., Journal of Experimental and Theoretical Physics 2023 Vol. 136 No. 6 P. 785–794
We investigate fluctuations of vorticity inside a coherent vortex generated by the inverse energy cascade in two-dimensional turbulence. Temporal and spatial correlations can be characterized by the pair correlation function. The interaction of fluctuations leads to a nonzero third moment of vorticity. We analyze the pair correlation function and the third moment using a model in ...

Kinetic singularities at transition points from equilibrium to metastable states of the Lennard-Jones particle system
Negodin V., Polyachenko Y., Fleita D. et al., Journal of Molecular Liquids 2021 Vol. 322 No. 1-3 Article 114954
The equilibrium and metastable states of the Lennard-Jones vapor, liquid, and crystal, are studied in the vicinity of the phase transition points. Vapor-liquid, liquid-vapor, liquid-crystal, and crystal-liquid transitions are modeled within the molecular dynamics method. As a research tool, a four-point correlation function is used for the qualitative detection of collective motions of atoms in ...

Topological Phase Transitions in the Theory of Partitions of Integers
Maslov V. P., Russian Journal of Mathematical Physics 2017 Vol. 24 No. 2 P. 249–260
In the paper, the problem of partitioning a natural number into summands is considered in connection with the BKT (Berezinskii–Kosterlitz–Thouless) phase transition and its two critical points. As examples, the passage from superfluid state to normal state and from a cell-like vortical state to turbulent state are considered. ...

A Generalization of a Classical Number-Theoretic Problem, Condensate of Zeros, and Phase Transition to an Amorphous Solid
Maslov V. P., Mathematical notes 2017 Vol. 101 No. 3 P. 488–496
Abstract—Regularization of the Bose–Einstein distribution using a parastatistical correction, i.e., by means of the Gentile statistics, is carried out. It is shown that the regularization result asymptotically coincides with the Erdo˝ s formula obtained by using Ramanujan’s formula for the number of variants of the partition of an integer into summands. TheHartley entropy regarded as the logarithm of the ...

Remarks on Number Theory and Thermodynamics Underlying Statistical Distributions in Languages
Maslov V., Mathematical notes 2017 Vol. 101 No. 4 P. 660–665
In the paper “The relationship between the Fermi–Dirac distribution and statistical distributions in languages” (This issue of “Math. Notes”), the Bose–Einstein and Fermi–Dirac distributions are considered in connectionwith frequency distributions in languages in the context of the author’s approach to thermodynamics and number theory problems. The present article presents certain clarifications of certain notions used in that approach, in ...

The Fermi-Dirac distribution as a model of a thermodynamically ideal liquid. Phase transition of the first kind for neutral gases (corresponding to nonpolar molecules)
Maslov V. P., Mathematical notes 2017 Vol. 101 No. 1 P. 100–114
In this paper, we introduce the notions of enlarged number theory and of thermodynamically ideal liquid and calculate the temperature below which it appears. This temperature is T = 0.84Tc, where Tc is the critical temperature of a gas whose molecules are nonpolar. For such a gas, in a sufficiently wide neighborhood of the binodal, ...

UD-статистика в подкритической области
Maslov V., Теоретическая и математическая физика 2015 Т. 182 № 2 С. 365–367
In contrast to the supercritical region where the isotherms ideally coincide with the isotherms of the van der Waals model, we introduce an additional condition for the Hartley entropy to attain maximum on the spinodal in the subcritical region. To determine the parameters of the distribution and isotherms, we use spinodal equation. ...

We develop the recent research [1] and introduce the notions of volume and entropy in abstract analytic number theory. The introduction of negative numbers in the generalized partition problem, together with the meaning of such a generalization in some applications of the theory, is discussed. ...

On the spectral gap in the region of negative pressures
Maslov V. P., Maslov A. V., Mathematical notes 2016 Vol. 99 No. 5 P. 711–714
It is shown that, between the values of the activity a = 1 and a < 1, there is a gap, which can be overcome by using additional energy. This energy is defined on the spinodal a = 1 (μ = 0) on theP–Z diagram and gives, in the parastatistical distribution, an additional term of Bose condensate type, which is also preserved ...

The notion of locally ideal liquid, similar to locally ideal fluid, is introduced. The distribution of locally ideal liquid is presented and compared with the one given by the van der Waals equation. The notion of phase transition from the metastable liquid state to the metastable solid state (glass) is introduced. © 2015, Pleiades Publishing, ...

Probability distribution for a hard liquid

We obtain a distribution of Fermi-Dirac type for a hard liquid at temperatures less than the Frenkel temperature TF for P ≥ 0 and Z ≥ 0. For the van der Waals model, one has TF = (33/25)Tc. © 2015, Pleiades Publishing, Ltd.. ...

Statistics Corresponding to Classical Thermodynamics. Construction of Isotherms
Maslov V. P., Russian Journal of Mathematical Physics 2015 Vol. 22 No. 1 P. 53–67
We provide a detailed explanation of the physical meaning of some concepts used in the new statistics corresponding to thermodynamics, including the notions of locally ideal gas, number of collective degrees of freedom, and jamming factor. The equation of state is treated as a surface in three-dimensional space, and the spinodal is viewed as an ...

Topological polylogarithms and p-adic interpolation of L-values of totally real fields
Beilinson A., Kings G., Andrey Levin, / Series math "arxiv.org". 2014.
We develop the topological polylogarithm which provides an integral version of Nori's Eisenstein cohomology classes for GL_n(Z) and yields classes with values in an Iwasawa algebra. This implies directly the integrality properties of special values of L-functions of totally real fields and a construction of the associated p-adic L-function. Using a result of Graf, we ...

The Borel-Moore homology of an arithmetic quotient of the Bruhat-Tits building of PGL of a non-archimedean local field in positive characteristic and modular symbols
Kondo S., Yasuda S., / Series math "arxiv.org". 2014.
We study the homology and the Borel-Moore homology with coefficients in Q of a quotient (called arithmetic quotient) of the Bruhat-Tits building of PGL of a nonarchimedean local field of positive characteristic by an arithmetic subgroup (a special case of the general definition in Harder's article (Invent.\ Math.\ 42, 135-175 (1977)).
