Researchers Develop Method for Direct Generation of Regulatory DNA
Researchers at HSE University have developed a model for generating promoters and enhancers—DNA sequences that regulate gene activity. The model works directly with DNA nucleotides, without first transforming them into a continuous numerical representation. This solution could be useful for applications in synthetic biology and gene therapy. The study results were presented at the ICLR 2026 Workshop ‘Generative AI in Genomics (Gen^2): Barriers and Frontiers.’

Gaussian processes with multidimensional distribution inputs via optimal transport and Hilbertian embedding

Electronic journal of statistics. 2020. Vol. 14. No. 2. P. 2742–2772.
Bachoc F., Suvorikova A., Ginsbourger D., Loubes J., Spokoiny V.

In this work, we propose a way to construct Gaussian processes indexed by multidimensional distributions. More precisely, we tackle the problem of defining positive definite kernels between multivariate distributions via notions of optimal transport and appealing to Hilbert space embeddings. Besides presenting a characterization of radial positive definite and strictly positive definite kernels on general Hilbert spaces, we investigate the statistical properties of our theoretical and empirical kernels, focusing in particular on consistency as well as the special case of Gaussian distributions. A wide set of applications is presented, both using simulations and implementation with real data.

Semi-Interlaced Polytopes
Селянин Ф. И., Moscow Mathematical Journal 2026 Vol. 26 No. 2 P. 167–187
Minkowski mixed volume of n subpolytopes D1,…,Dn of a polytope P⊂Rn clearly does not exceed the normalized volume n!Vol(P). Equality holds if and only if the subpolytopes are interlaced, i.e., each proper face F⊊P intersects at least dim(F)+1 of the polytopes Di. Efficiently computing mixed volumes for more general collections of subpolytopes is crucial for estimating the complexity of numerically solving polynomial systems. Motivated by relaxing the bound dim(F)+1 to dim(F), we ...

A new spin on polynomial relations among kappa classes
Kazaryan M., Dunin-Barkowski P., Bychkov B. et al., International Mathematics Research Notices 2026 Vol. 14 Article rnag146
We prove a recent conjecture of the fourth named author with P. Norbury that states a system of universal polynomial relations among the kappa classes on the moduli spaces of algebraic curves. The proof involves localization and materialization analysis of the spin Gromov–Witten theory of the projective line and is dictated by Z 2 -equivariant ...

We prove that for any initial data on a genus zero spectral curve the cor responding correlation differentials of topological recursion are KP integrable. As an application we prove KP integrability of partition functions associated via ELSV-type formulas to the r-th roots of the twisted powers of the log canonical bundles ...

Механизм происходящих в мире изменений носит эволюционный, а не экологический характер. Иначе говоря, Человечество столкнулось с кризисом развития, который имеет три независимые составляющие: кризис индустриального общества (фазовый кризис), кризис научного мышления (эпистемный кризис) и кризис формата существования разума (социосистемный кризис). Доклад посвящён аспектам этого триединого кризиса и возможным путям его преодоления, не сводящимся к первичному ...

We give a proof of Mukai’s theorem on the existence of certain exceptional vector bundles on prime Fano threefolds. To our knowledge this is the first complete proof in the literature. The result is essential for Mukai’s biregular classification of prime Fano threefolds, and for the existence of semiorthogonal decompositions in their derived categories. Our ...

Full exceptional collections on the symplectic isotropic Grassmannians
Guseva L., Novikov A., Advances in Mathematics 2026 Vol. 503 Article 111211
We prove that the Kuznetsov–Polishchuk exceptional collections on rational homogeneous spaces of the symplectic groups Sp(2n,C) are full and consist of vector bundles. To achieve this, we construct several classes of complexes, which we call generalized staircase complexes, symplectic staircase complexes and secondary staircase complexes — each of which may be of independent interest. ...

We continue the study of automorphic functions associated with a curve C over the ring k[ε]/(ε²), where k is a finite field, begun in arXiv:2303.16259. Namely, we study an example of theta-lifting in this framework and show that it can be understood in terms of the orbit decomposition of the space of automorphic functions S(SL₂(F)\SL₂(A_C)) ...

A radio-physical system, namely, a two-mode van der Pol generator, is considered. It is shown that this system demonstrates two types of chaos: with one and two zero Lyapunov exponents. The regions of the second type of chaos are surrounded by bifurcation lines of invariant tori doubling. Quasi-periodic structures of various shapes are embedded within ...

Discrete Markowitz Portfolio Optimization with Open-Source Classical and Quantum-Inspired Solvers: A Cross-Market Walk-Forward Study
Avdoshin S.M., Patrushev K. A., Proceedings of the Institute for System Programming of the RAS 2026 No. 4 часть 2 P. 245–256
The cardinality-constrained Markowitz problem is NP-hard and traditionally solved with commercial MIQP solvers. Following the 2022 export restrictions that rendered both commercial MIQP software and cloud quantum platforms (IBM Quantum, D-Wave Leap) inaccessible from the Russian Federation, practitioners require open-source alternatives. This paper systematically compares three solver families for the discrete mean-variance problem: two open-source ...

Pyramidal solitons (solitons with more than two inflection points) of the generalized Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equation are investigated. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of such structures are presented. Within the framework of the generalized Gardner equation — the simplest model that admits pyramidal solitons as solutions — it is shown that these solutions ...

Global Optimisation of Black-Box Functions with Generative Models in the Wasserstein Space
Ramazyan T., Hushchyn M., Derkach D., , in: ECAI 2024. 27th European Conference on Artificial Intelligence, October 19 – 24 October 2024, Santiago de Compostela, Spain – Including 13th Conference on Prestigious Applications of Intelligent Systems (PAIS 2024).: IOS Press, 2024. P. 2394–2401.
We propose a new uncertainty estimator for gradient-free optimisation of black-box simulators using deep generative surrogate models. Optimisation of these simulators is especially challenging for stochastic simulators and higher dimensions. To address these issues, we utilise a deep generative surrogate approach to model the black box response for the entire parameter space. We then leverage ...

Machine learning models play a vital role in time series forecasting. These models, however, often overlook an important element: point uncertainty estimates. Incorporating these estimates is crucial for effective risk management, informed model selection, and decision-making.To address this issue, our research introduces a method for uncertainty estimation. We employ a surrogate Gaussian process regression model. ...

Kantorovich–Rubinstein–Wasserstein distance between overlapping attractor and repeller
Chigarev V., Kazakov A., Пиковский А., Chaos 2020 Vol. 30 No. 7 Article 073114
We consider several examples of dynamical systems demonstrating overlapping attractor and repeller. These systems are constructed via introducing controllable dissipation to prototypic models with chaotic dynamics (Anosov cat map, Chirikov standard map, and incompressible three-dimensional flow of the ABC-type on a three-torus) and ergodic non-chaotic behavior (skew-shift map). We employ the Kantorovich–Rubinstein–Wasserstein distance to characterize the ...

High extremes of Gaussian chaos processes: a discrete time approximation approach
A. I. Zhdanov, V. I. Piterbarg, Theory Probability and its Applications 2018 Vol. 63 No. 1 P. 1–21
Let $\mathbf{\boldsymbol{\xi}}(t)=(\xi_{1}(t),\ldots,\xi_{d}(t))$ be a Gaussian zero mean stationary a.s. continuous vector process. Let $g\colon{\mathbb{R}}^{d}\to {\mathbb{R}}$ be a homogeneous function of positive degree. We study probabilities of high extrema of the Gaussian chaos process $g(\mathbf{\boldsymbol{\xi}}(t))$. Important examples are products of Gaussian processes, $\prod_{i=1}^{d}\xi_{i}(t)$, and quadratic forms $\sum_{i,j=1}^{d}a_{ij}\xi_{i}(t)\xi_{j}(t)$. Methods of our studies include the Laplace saddle point ...
