‘I Would Like My Research to Help Make the World a Calmer and Better Place
Whatever task Saraa Ali, Junior Research Fellow at the Laboratory of Methods for Big Data Analysis (LAMBDA) of the AI and Digital Science Institute (HSE Faculty of Computer Science), is working on, she thinks about how it can benefit people. She told the Young Scientists of HSE University project about her large family, diagnosing three-phase motors, and her dream of building a children’s home in her native country.

‘The Peak of Stupidity and ‘The Valley of Despair: HSE Economists Propose an Explanation for the Dunning–Kruger Effect
The Dunning–Kruger effect, which describes a sharp surge in self-confidence among beginners followed by an equally rapid decline as they gain experience, can be explained by the nature of the learning process and the acquisition of new knowledge. This conclusion was reached by Andrey Vorchik of the HSE Faculty of Economic Sciences together with independent researcher Murat Mamyshev. They developed a mathematical model of learning and demonstrated how subjective confidence is formed and changes as knowledge accumulates, as well as how teachers can reduce the ‘valley of despair’ experienced by learners.

‘I Like Self-Fulfilling Prophecies
Andrey Vorchik studies happiness, delivers popular science lectures, and believes that science should address social issues as well. In an interview for the Young Scientists of HSE University project, he spoke about how emotions influence decision-making, the Bermuda Triangle formed by the bathroom, refrigerator, and bed, and the ideal formula for education.

Algebraic groups whose orbit closures contain only finitely many orbits

Transformation Groups. 2021. Vol. 26. No. 2. P. 671–689.
Vladimir L. Popov

We explore connected ane algebraic groups G, which enjoy the following finiteness property (F): for every algebraic action of G, the closure of every G-orbit contains only nitely many G-orbits. We obtain two main results. First, we classify such groups. Namely, we prove that a connected affine algebraic group G enjoys property (F) if and only if G is either a torus or a product of a torus and a one-dimensional connected unipotent algebraic group. Secondly, we obtain a characterization of such groups in terms of the modality of action in the sense of V. Arnol'd. Namely, we prove that a connected affine algebraic group G enjoys property (F) if and only if for every irreducible algebraic
variety X endowed with an algebraic action of G, the modality of X is equal to the minimum of codimensions of G-orbits in X.

The article discusses types of interpretation that Russian complex sentences with factive,implicative and interpretation verbs get under negation and modal operators. By default,the external negative and modal context affects only the main situation. However, one findsexceptions of this rule. We call ‘transparent readings’ those readings in which the exter-nal context affects semantically both the matrix ...

Addressing the psychophysiological correlates of reflection in the context of modern psychology based on the integrity paradigm is an urgent and promising area. We rely on the ideas of L.S.

On conjugacy of additive actions in the affine Cremona group
Arzhantsev I., Quaestiones Mathematicae 2024 Vol. 47 No. 9 P. 1767 –1774
An additive action on an irreducible algebraic variety X  is an effective action with an open orbit of the vector group . Any two additive actions on X are conjugate by a birational automorphism of X. We prove that, if X is the projective space, the conjugating element can be chosen in the affine Cremona group and it is given by so-called basic polynomials ...

The so-called acquisitive modality or actuality, describing a successful realization of an action, is a largely understudied type of modal values.

Aspect and subjectivity in the modal readings of tenses in Russian
Trnavac R., Leiden Papers in Linguistics 2006 Vol. 3 No. 1 P. 51–73
In the aspectual linguistic literature, a connection between imperfective aspect and modality/subjectivity is quite often mentioned. This article investigates a possible counterargument to this connection by analyzing modal readings of tenses in Russian. Two types of uses of tenses are described: (1) temporal reading of the tense with a modal inference and (2) strictly modal ...

This paper examines how conditional and concessive nonveridical rhetorical relations influence evaluation in the Serbian and Russian newspaper discourse. It also investigates the role of nonveridical elements (Giannakidou 1998) on evaluation in discourse and relates the notion of nonveridicality to similar notions, such as modality, Appraisal (Martin and White 2005), and subjectivity. We adopted the ...

Commutative actions on smooth projective quadrics
Borovik V., Gayfullin S., Trushin A., Communications in Algebra 2022 Vol. 50 No. 12 P. 5468–5476
By a commutative action on a smooth quadric Q_n in P^{n+1}, we mean an effective action of a commutative connected algebraic group on Qn with an open orbit. We show that for n≥3 all commutative actions on Qn are additive actions described by Sharoiko in 2009. So there is a unique commutative action on Qn ...

Кратко анализируются достоинства и недостатки некоторых ослабленных версий Онтического структурного реализма. В качестве компромисса предлагается еще одна версия – иерархический структурный реализм. Вместо онтологического противопоставления структур и сущностей, предлагается рассмотреть многоуровневую иерархическую модель, ...

We consider the canonical action of the compact torus T4 on the complex Grassmann manifold G4,2 and prove that the orbit space G4,2/T4 is homeomorphic to the sphere S5. We prove that the induced map from G4;2 to the sphere S5 is not smooth and describe its smooth and singular points. We also consider the action of T4 on ...

Tits-type Alternative for Groups Acting on Toric Affine Varieties
Arzhantsev I., Zaidenberg M., International Mathematics Research Notices 2022 Vol. 2022 No. 11 P. 8162–8195
Given a toric affine algebraic variety X and a collection of one-parameter unipotent subgroups U_1,…,U_s of Aut⁡(X)⁠, which are normalized by the torus acting on X⁠, we show that the group G generated by U_1,…,U_s verifies the following alternative of Tits type: either G is a unipotent algebraic group or it contains a non-abelian free subgroup. We deduce that if G is 2-transitive on a G-orbit in X⁠, then G contains a non-abelian ...

The analogues of tense interpretation in Russian embedded clauses: absolute vs. relative modality, absolute vs. relative aspect
Letuchiy A., Компьютерная лингвистика и интеллектуальные технологии 2020 Vol. дополнительный том No. 19 (26) P. 1065–1077
The paper adresses parallels between tense, aspect and modality marking in Russian embedded clauses. It is widely known that tense forms of embedded verbs can be interpreted relatively or absolutely, and in some cases, the relative and absolute use seem to be in free variation. It turns out that the interpretation of modality and aspect ...
