The 'Second Shift' Is Not Why Women Avoid News
Women are more likely than men to avoid political and economic news, but the reasons for this behaviour are linked less to structural inequality or family-related stress than to personal attitudes and the emotional perception of news content. This conclusion was reached by HSE researchers after analysing data from a large-scale survey of more than 10,000 residents across 61 regions of Russia. The study findings have been published in Woman in Russian Society.

Theta blocks

Journal of the European Mathematical Society. 2026. Vol. 28. No. 1. P. 113–169.
Gritsenko V., Skoruppa N., Zagier D.

We define theta blocks as products of Jacobi theta functions divided by powers of the Dedekind eta function and show that they give a new powerful method to construct Jacobi forms and Siegel modular forms, with applications also in lattice theory and algebraic geometry. One of the central questions is when a theta block defines a Jacobi form. It turns out that this seemingly simple question is connected to various deep problems in different fields ranging from Fourier analysis over infinite-dimensional Lie algebras to the theory of moduli spaces in algebraic geometry. We give several answers to this question.

A B-facet is a lattice -dimensional polytope in the positive octant  with a positive normal covector, such that every -dimensional simplex with vertices in it is a B-simplex (i.e., a pyramid of height one with base on a coordinate hyperplane). B-facets were introduced in [2] in the context of the monodromy conjecture. In this paper, we complete the ...

On smooth Fano threefolds with coregularity zero
Жакупов О. Б., European Journal of Mathematics 2025 Vol. 11 Article 84
We provide examples of smooth three-dimensional Fano complete intersections of degree 2, 4, 6, and 8 that have absolute coregularity 0. Considering the main theorem of Avilov, Loginov, and Przyjalkowski (CNTP 18:506–577, 2024) on the remaining 101 families of smooth Fano threefolds, our result implies that each family of smooth Fano threefolds has an element of absolute ...

2-Elliptic Periodic Orbits near a Nonsimple Homoclinic Tangency in Four-Dimensional Symplectic Maps
Gonchenko S., Lerman L., Turaev D., Regular and Chaotic Dynamics 2026 Vol. 31 No. 3 P. 349–369
We show that bifurcations of four-dimensional symplectic diffeomorphisms with a quadratic homoclinic tangency to a saddle periodic orbit with real multipliers produce 2-elliptic periodic orbits if the tangency is not partially hyperbolic. We show that a normal form for the rescaled first-return maps near such tangency is given by a four-dimensional symplectic H´enonlike map and study bifurcations of the ...

Bibliometric Analysis by Network Models
Aleskerov F. T., Khutorskaya O., Stepochkina A. et al., Springer, 2026.
The book contains new models of bibliometric analysis based on centrality measures in network analysis, pattern analysis and stability analysis. A distinctive feature of these centrality measures is that they account for the parameters of vertices and group influence of vertices to a vertex. This reveals specific groups of publications, authors, terms, journals and affiliations ...

Neural-network maps for two-parameter modeling of bistability and codimension-two bifurcations in two-dimensional flow dynamical systems
Kuptsov P., Panyushev A., Stankevich N., Chaos 2026 Vol. 36 No. 5 Article 053138
We develop a machine-learning approach to reproduce the behavior of two versions of the van der Pol oscillator exhibiting a subcritical Andronov–Hopf bifurcation, with or without a codimension-2 Bautin point. We construct a neural-network model that functions as a recur rent map and train it on short segments of oscillator trajectories. The results show that, ...

Bifurcations and Structural Stability of Generic PC-HC Families
Dorovskiy A., / Series arXiv "math". 2026.
In this paper the structural stability of generic families of vector fields of the PC-HC class on the two-dimensional sphere is proved. A classification of these families up to moderate equivalence in neighborhoods of their large bifurcation supports is presented, based on such invariants as the configuration and the characteristic set. The realization lemma is proved. ...

The Sobolev space W_2^{1/2}: Simultaneous improvement of functions by a homeomorphism of the circle
Lebedev V., Journal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications 2026 Vol. 563 No. 2 Article 130787
It is known that for every continuous real-valued  function $f$ on the circle $\mathbb T=\mathbb R/2\pi\mathbb Z$ there exists a  change of variable, i.e., a self-homeomorphism $h$ of $\mathbb T$, such that  the superposition $f\circ h$ is in the Sobolev space $W_2^{1/2}(\mathbb T)$.  We obtain new results on simultaneous improvement of functions by a single  change of variable in relation ...

Игры на сетях с линейным наилучшим ответом: модели и методы управления
Petrov I., Автоматика и телемеханика 2026 № 6 С. 82–118
Системам связанных агентов и сетевому управлению посвящено большое число отечественных и зарубежных исследований. Исторически, наибольший интерес в теории управления возникал к усредняющим системам и, в частности, к задаче консенсуса. Однако сетевое взаимодействие может характеризоваться более специфическими функциями, отражающими зависимость от действий соседей по сети, что особенно явно проявляется в моделях стратегического взаимодействия на сети, которое ...

A two-point phase recovering from holographic data on a single plane

We consider a plane wave, a radiation solution, and the sum of these solutions (total solution) for the Helmholtz equation in an exterior region in Rd, d ⩾ 2. In this region, we consider a hyperplane X with sufficiently large distance s from the origin in Rd. We give two-point local formulas for approximate recovering the radiation ...

Multivariate Newton interpolation in downward closed spaces reaches the optimal Bernstein–Walsh approximation rate
Hecht M., Hofmann P., Wicaksono D. et al., IMA Journal of Numerical Analysis 2026 Vol. 00 P. 1–30
Recent advances in Bernstein—Walsh theory have extended Bernstein’s Theorem to multiple dimensions, stating that a multivariate function can be approximated with a geometric rate in a downward-closed polynomial space if and only if it is analytic in a generalized Bernstein polyellipse. To compute approximations of this class of functions—which we term Bos–Levenberg–Trefethen–(BLT) functions—we extend the ...

Weighted Chernoff Information and Optimal Loss Exponent in Context-Sensitive Hypothesis Testing
Kelbert M., Kalimulina E. Y., Entropy 2026 Vol. 28 Article 536
We study binary hypothesis testing for i.i.d. observations under a multiplicative context weight. For the optimal weighted total loss, defined as the sum of weighted type-I and typeII losses, we prove the logarithmic asymptotic L∗n = exp{−nDwC (P,Q) + o(n)}, n →∞, where Dw C is the weighted Chernoff information. The single-letter form of the exponent relies on ...

Modular differential equations of the elliptic genus of Calabi–Yau fourfolds

We study modular differential equations (MDEs) of the elliptic genus of four-dimensional complex varieties with trivial first Chern class. We construct modular differential equations of orders 3, 4, 5 and 6 with respect to the heat operator for every weak Jacobi form of weight 0 and index 2. We prove that the elliptic genus of a Calabi–Yau ...

Antisymmetric paramodular forms of weight 3
Gritsenko V., Wang H., Sbornik Mathematics 2019 Vol. 210 No. 12
The problem on the construction of antisymmetric paramodular forms of canonical weight $3$ was open since 1996. Any cusp form of this type determines a canonical differential form on any smooth compactification of the moduli space of Kummer surfaces associated to $(1,t)$-polarised abelian surfaces. In this paper, we construct the first infinite family of antisymmetric paramodular forms of weight $3$  as ...

Antisymmetric Paramodular Forms of Weights 2 and 3
Gritsenko V., Poor C., Yuen D. S., International Mathematics Research Notices 2020 Vol. 2020 No. 20 P. 6926–6946
We define an algebraic set in 23-dimensional projective space whose ℚ-rational points correspond to meromorphic, antisymmetric, paramodular Borcherds products. We know two lines inside this algebraic set. Some rational points on these lines give holomorphic Borcherds products and thus construct examples of Siegel modular forms on degree 2 paramodular groups. Weight 3examples provide antisymmetric canonical differential forms on ...

Powers of Jacobi triple product, Cohen’s numbers and the Ramanujan -function
