The algebraic K-theory of the chromatic filtration and the telescope conjecture by Levy, Ishan

“…Using this and an extension of the Dundas--Goodwillie--McCarthy theorem to —1-connective ring spectra, we obtain a formula for the algebraic K-theory of the K(1)-local sphere in terms of topological cyclic homology of a ring spectrum j_zeta, and in particular find that its algebraic K-groups are not all finitely generated. …”

Population of Merging Compact Binaries Inferred Using Gravitational Waves through GWTC-3 by Sudhir, Vivishek

“…While we continue to find that the mass distribution of a binary’s more massive component strongly decreases as a function of primary mass, we observe no evidence of a strongly suppressed merger rate above approximately 60 M ⊙ , which would indicate the presence of a upper mass gap. …”

Molecular characterization of microbial interactions with labile dissolved organic matter by Halloran, Kathryn H.

“…Here, I apply aniline derivatization to filtrate from cultures of Prochlorococcus grown under 24-hour diel light/dark conditions and sampled every two hours. I find that Prochlorococcus cells not only release metabolites into solution, but also take those metabolites up again, with diel rhythmicity. …”

Defining Relations for Minimal Unitary Quantum Affine W-Algebras by Adamović, Dražen, Kac, Victor G., Möseneder Frajria, Pierluigi, Papi, Paolo

“…We prove that any unitary highest weight module over a universal minimal quantum affine W-algebra at non-critical level descends to its simple quotient. We find the defining relations of the unitary simple minimal quantum affine W-algebras and the list of all their irreducible positive energy modules. …”

Sample size estimation with missing values on clinical trials by Zhang, Mengyang

“…In this work, we compare the power of the full datasets with the power of the datasets having missing values under the 2 × 2 and 2 × 4 crossover design. In this way, we find the average percentage of the sample size that should be increased to offset the decreasing in power (original is around 80%), which is caused by 20% and 30% missing data in the tests for treatment difference and bio-equivalence. …”
