Conventional granular sintering models rely on empirical density-time relations and neglect the 3-D microstructural topology that governs deformation. Here, we present a microstructure-based rheological model informed by X-ray microtomography of polar firn, a natural granular system that explicitly incorporates topolo…

Retrieval-augmented generation depends heavily on preprocessing: how documents are cleaned, cut and enriched before they are indexed. The tools used to compare those choices are weaker than most teams assume. Across six pre-registered experiments (about $55 of model calls in total), we found that the standard scoreboa…

Let x = A/B ∈ (0,1) be reduced and set κ(x) = log(B/A)/log B. This paper develops a height-stable lacunary rigidity theorem for rational coefficients and applies it to exact irrationality-exponent problems for Mahler, Hone, Sturmian, Hecke–Mahler, Engel–Lüroth, and related families. For α = Σⱼ≥1 cⱼx^{hⱼ} with cⱼ ∈ ℚ×…

Electronic structure in solids is traditionally described by the distribution of electron energies and the occupation of momentum states. In many-body systems, however, the reorganization of electrons among atomic orbitals can occur without a corresponding change in total electronic energy, yet it may entail a profoun…
