‘Balkan Hospitality Opens Doors: Studying Dialects on the Verge of Extinction
You cannot study spoken dialects from books. Instead, you need to go to a village, seek out its elders, and earn the trust of local residents before you can record hours of spontaneous stories. This is how Natalia Muravleva, Associate Professor at the Faculty of Humanities, conducts her research. Her internship in Serbia continued her long-standing study of dialects spoken by Macedonian settlers. In this interview, she discusses how diaspora cultural centres help researchers reach informants, why native speakers need to be interviewed only in their own language (otherwise, as she puts it, they may 'break'), and how a single field season helped her finalise her monograph. She also shares warm memories of autumn in Belgrade and of colleagues with whom grammar can be discussed in three languages at once.

Scientists Train Neural Network to Generate Process Plans from 3D Models
Researchers at the HSE FCS AI and Digital Science Institute have developed CAD2TechSpec, a framework that converts 3D models of mechanical parts into machining process plans—step-by-step instructions for machine tools. The solution aims to reduce the time required for the design and preparation of technical process documentation in mechanical engineering, aircraft manufacturing, and other high-tech industries. The study findings have been published in PeerJ Computer Science.

Are prime numbers and quadratic residues random?

Discrete and Continuous Dynamical Systems. 2025. Vol. 45. No. 11. P. 4186–4201.
Blank M.

Appeals to randomness in various number-theoretic constructions appear regularly in modern scientific publications. Such famous names as V.I. Arnold, M. Katz, Ya.G. Sinai, and T. Tao are just a few examples. Unfortunately, all of these approaches rely on various, although often very non-trivial and elegant, heuristics. A new analytical approach is proposed to address the issue of randomness/complexity of an individual deterministic sequence. This approach demonstrates the expected high complexity of quadratic residues and the unexpectedly low complexity in the case of prime numbers. Technically, our approach is based on a new construction of the dynamical entropy of a single trajectory, which measures its complexity, in contrast to classical Kolmogorov-Sinai and topological entropies, which measure the complexity of the entire dynamical system.

Darboux formulae for linear hyperbolic equations in the discrete case
Смирнов С. В., Glasgow Mathematical Journal 2026 Vol. 68 No. 2 P. 299–316
In the second half of the 19th century Darboux obtained determinant formulae that provide the general solution for a linear hyperbolic second order PDE with finite Laplace series. These formulae played an important role in his study of the theory of surfaces and, in particular, in the theory of conjugate nets. During the last three ...

Integral preserving discretization of 2D Toda lattices
Смирнов С. В., Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical 2023 Vol. 56 No. 26 Article 265204
There are different methods of discretizing integrable systems. We consider semi-discrete analog of two-dimensional Toda lattices associated to the Cartan matrices of simple Lie algebras that was proposed by Habibullin in 2011. This discretization is based on the notion of Darboux integrability. Generalized Toda lattices are known to be Darboux integrable in the continuous case ...

On phase-lock area parquet in a special slow-fast limit of model of Josephson junction.
Glutsyuk A., / Series arXiv "math". 2026.
B.Josephson (Nobel Prize, 1973) predicted a tunnelling effect for a system of two superconductors separated by a narrow dielectric (such a system is called Josephson junction): existence of a supercurrent through it and equations governing it. The overdamped Josephson junction is modeled by the family of differential equations on the 2-torus, dθdτ=1ω(cosθ+B+Acosτ), which is known as ...

A caustic of a strictly convex planar bounded billiard is a smooth curve whose tangent lines are reflected from the billiard boundary to its tangent lines. The famous Birkhoff Conjecture, studied by many mathematicians, states that if the billiard boundary has an inner neighborhood foliated by closed caustics, then it is an ellipse. In the paper we study ...

Rational p-adic Hodge theory for d-de Rham-proper stacks
Prikhodko Artem, Kubrak D., Compositio Mathematica 2026 Vol. 162 No. 6 P. 1377–1438
In this follow-up paper we show that smooth Hodge-proper stacks over O𝐾 are ℚ𝑝-locally acyclic: namely the natural map between étale ℚ𝑝-cohomology of the algebraic and Raynaud generic fibers is an equivalence. This establishes the ℚ𝑝-case of general conjectures made in D. Kubrak and A. Prikhodko [p-adic Hodge theory for Artin stacks, Mem. Amer. Math. ...

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 $a_{n}/ \varphi (a_{n})> t$. ...

Complexity of reasoning in Kleene algebra with sum-of-letters hypotheses
Stepan L. Kuznetsov, , in: Automated Reasoning: 13th International Joint Conference, IJCAR 2026, Lisbon, Portugal, July 26–29, 2026, Proceedings, Part II. (LNCS, volume 16689)Vol. 16689.: Cham: Springer, 2026. P. 161–177.
Kleene algebras are an algebraic abstraction of regular expressions, one of the central notions in computer science. While the equational theory of Kleene algebras is known to be decidable, reasoning from finite sets of hypotheses (Horn theory) quickly becomes undecidable. This happens even for simple classes of hypotheses which themselves do not involve Kleene star. ...

The article analyzes the provisions on which Epicurus' doctrine of freedom is based. It is shown that the deviations of atoms, which many researchers consider to be the main argument in defense of freedom in Epicurus, do not prove freedom, but the objectivity of accidents and the probable nature of events. Without denying the influence ...

Entropy-based text feature engineering approach for forecasting financial liquidity changes
Aleksei Riabykh, Suleimanov I., Nagovitcyn I. et al., EPJ Data Science 2025 Vol. 14 Article 17
Changes in individual and institutional financial behavior leading to shifts in liquidity flows often depend on events reflected in news. However, the task of establishing relationship between financial behavior and news remains challenging and understudied. We propose a news-based feature generation approach that allows accounting for news events in liquidity flow time-series predicting tasks, thereby ...
