Scientists Create Open Dataset for Studying Concentration
A team of Russian researchers, including scientists from HSE University–St Petersburg, has developed the first open multimodal dataset containing recordings of brain activity, heart function, and video observations to help researchers understand what happens in the human brain during deep concentration. In the future, the dataset could accelerate the development of neural interfaces, rehabilitation technologies, and AI systems. The article has been published in Scientific Data.

‘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.

Kolmogorov’s Last Discovery? (Kolmogorov and Algorithmic Statistics)

Theory of Probability and its Applications, USA. 2024. Vol. 68. No. 4. P. 582–606.

Translator: Vereshchagin N.

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 that these approaches are essentially equivalent in that they define the same curve in different coordinates. In this survey, we try to follow the development of these ideas of Kolmogorov as well as similar ideas suggested independently by other authors.

From hyperbolic to complex Euler integrals
Spiridonov V. P., Belousov N. M., Sarkissian G. A., Analysis and Mathematical Physics 2026 Vol. 16 Article 96
Hyperbolic hypergeometric integrals are defined as Barnes-type integrals of products of hyperbolic gamma functions. Their reduction to ordinary hypergeometric functions is well known. We study in detail their degeneration to complex hypergeometric functions. Namely, using uniform bounds on the integrands, we prove that the univariate hyperbolic beta integral and the conical function degenerate to two-dimensional ...

In this paper we obtain a criterion of flexibility for an affine complexity-zero horospherical variety. This result generalizes previously known results on flexibility of normal horospherical varieties, horospherical varieties with an action of a semisimple group, and non-normal toric varieties. ...

Mathematical methods of reinforcement learning
Belomestny D., Gasnikov A., Gladin E. et al., Russian Mathematical Surveys 2026 Vol. 81 No. 4(490) P. 3–90
Reinforcement learning (RL) is increasingly grounded in tools from probability, optimization, and operator theory. This survey organizes the mathematical structures that underpin the design and analysis of modern algorithms in RL. We begin from Markov decision processes (MDPs) and the Bellman operators, emphasizing contraction mappings, monotonicity, and fixed-point theory that yield convergence guarantees and rates ...

Sums Related to Euler's Totient Function
A. Radomskii, Mathematical notes 2026 Vol. 119 No. 6 P. 1136–1147
We obtain an upper bound for the sum $\sum_{n\leq N} (a_{n}/\varphi (a_{n}))^{s}$, where $\varphi$ is Euler's totient function, $s\in\mathbb{N}$, and $a_{1},\ldots, a_{N}$ are positive integers (not necessarily distinct) with some restrictions. As applications, for any $t>0$, we obtain an upper bound for the number of $n\in [1,N]$ such that $a_{n}/ \varphi (a_{n})> t$. ...

Three Algorithms for Merging Hierarchical Navigable Small World Graphs
Ponomarenko A., / Series Computer Science "arxiv.org". 2025.
This paper addresses the challenge of merging hierarchical navigable small world (HNSW) graphs, a critical operation for distributed systems, incremental indexing, and database compaction. We propose three algorithms for this task: Naive Graph Merge (NGM), Intra Graph Traversal Merge (IGTM), and Cross Graph Traversal Merge (CGTM). These algorithms differ in their approach to vertex selection ...

EEG evidence for reproducible neural states during Buddhist Highest Yoga Tantra meditation
Mikhaylets E. V., Razorenova A. М., Chernyshev V. L. et al., Scientific Reports 2026 Vol. 16 Article 23560
Meditation offers a naturalistic paradigm for studying introspection, yet the neural dynamics of advanced tantric practices remain largely unexplored. Buddhist Highest Yoga Tantra (BHYT) comprises a sequence of eight dissolution stages culminating in the “clear light” state. We recorded EEG during eyes-closed BHYT meditation performed in monasteries and hermitages (51 sessions from 36 male practitioners; ...

Three-dimensional magnetization textures as quaternionic functions
Metlov K., Andrei B. Bogatyrëv, Annalen der Physik 2026 Vol. 538 No. 6 Article e70234
Thanks to the recent progress in bulk full three-dimensional nanoscale magnetization distribution imaging, there is a growing interest to three-dimensional (3D) magnetization textures, promising new high information density spintronic applications. Compared to 1D domain walls or 2D magnetic vortices/skyrmions, they are a much harder challenge to represent, analyze and reason about. Here we build analytical representation for such ...

Nonlinear Neumann eigenvalues in outward cuspidal domains with weighted measure
Menovshchikov A., Ukhlov A., Rendiconti del Circolo Matematico di Palermo 2026 Vol. 75 Article 91
We consider the nonlinear Neumann eigenvalue problem in outward cuspidal domains with a weighted measure. Using composition operators on Sobolev spaces, we establish embeddings of Sobolev spaces into weighted Lebesgue spaces. These embeddings give the solvability of the Neumann spectral problem in this setting and provide estimates for the corresponding weighted Neumann eigenvalues. ...

On the (p,q)-Eigenvalues of the No-Flux p-Laplacian
Menovshchikov A., Journal of Mathematical Sciences 2026 Vol. 298 P. 608–618
We study the set of (p, q)-eigenvalues of the p-Laplace operator with no-flux boundary conditions. We show that this set is closed and that its smallest positive element (the first nontrivial eigenvalue) admits a variational characterization. Moreover, we establish lower bounds for this eigenvalue in cuspidal domains. ...

Local Fault-Tolerant Routing in 3D Mesh NoCs using Single-Hop Rollback
Edward R. Rzaev, Aleksandr Y. Romanov, Andrey M. Sukhov, IEEE Access 2026 Vol. 14 P. 2169–3536
This work presents a hierarchy of strictly local fault-tolerant routing algorithms for 3D mesh networks-on-chip, culminating in an algorithm that combines a live-neighbor selection rule with a bounded single-hop rollback mechanism. The proposed algorithms operate exclusively on immediate neighbor information, maintain O(1) per hop complexity, and require no global topology knowledge, additional virtual channels, or ...

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 ...
