Cryptographic Censorship by Netta Engelhardt, Åsmund Folkestad, Adam Levine, Evita Verheijden, Lisa Yang

“…To apply this result to cosmic censorship, we separate singularities into classical, semi-Planckian, and Planckian types. We illustrate that classical and semi-Planckian singularities are compatible with approximately pseudorandom CFT time evolution; thus, if such singularities are indeed approximately pseudorandom, by Cryptographic Censorship, they cannot exist in the absence of event horizons. …”

An Exponentially Converging Particle Method for the Mixed Nash Equilibrium of Continuous Games by Wang, Guillaume, Chizat, Lénaïc

“…It can be interpreted as an implicit time discretization of the “interacting” Wasserstein–Fisher–Rao gradient flow.We prove that, under non-degeneracy assumptions, this method converges at an exponential rate to the exact mixed Nash equilibrium from any initialization satisfying a natural notion of closeness to optimality. We illustrate our results with numerical experiments and discuss applications to max-margin and distributionally-robust classification using two-layer neural networks, where our method has a natural interpretation as a simultaneous training of the network’s weights and of the adversarial distribution.…”

Proportions des tissus des dents déciduales chez deux individus de Dordogne (France) : l’enfant néanderthalien du Roc de Marsal et le spécimen du Paléolithique supérieur final de L... by Priscillia Bayle

“…However, deciduous dental tissue proportions in Neanderthals, notably those of the anterior teeth, are still poorly known, and the structural condition characteristic of the anatomically modern fossil human teeth is unreported yet.By means of high-resolution industrial (µCT) and synchrotron radiation (SR-µCT) microtomography, we investigated, for the first time, the inner structure of the entire deciduous dental sequence of the Neanderthal child of Roc de Marsal (Dordogne) and of the late Upper Paleolithic specimen from La Madeleine (La Madeleine 4, Dordogne), and comparatively quantified their volumetric dental tissue proportions.Results show that, since the early developmental stages, Neanderthal teeth (here represented also by isolated specimens from the site of La Chaise, in Charente) are characterized by a unique tissue organization, while the late Upper Paleolithic specimen shows a pattern similar to the extant human condition illustrated by our reference sample.…”
