Rethinking the State Update Gate for Long-Sequence Recurrent 3D Reconstruction

Streaming 3D reconstruction under a strict constant-memory budget hinges on how the recurrent state is updated as the stream evolves. We profile TTT3R-style per-token gates across five benchmarks and discover a structural bottleneck: the gate is intrinsically bounded in magnitude (median $0.31$; never exceeding $0.6$) and nearly frame-invariant, yielding an effective memory horizon of only $\sim$3 frames per state token, which serves as the structural origin of long-sequence drift. We trace this to a missing axis: existing inference-time methods modulate updates only at the per-token, intra-frame level, while the orthogonal frame-level question of \emph{how strongly each frame should contribute to the state} has been treated as content-independent. We close this gap with a scalar frame-level gate $α_t \in (0, 1]$ derived in closed form from frame-to-frame changes of internal features -- a continuous relaxation of classical Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) keyframe selection that requires no parameters, no training, and no extra forward pass. Across six benchmarks spanning camera pose, video depth, and 3D reconstruction at sequence lengths up to $4,541$ frames, our gate cuts ATE by $51\%$ on long TUM-RGBD pose sequences, reduces AbsRel by $12.8\%$ on Bonn video depth, and on KITTI long-sequence pose estimation surpasses both LongStream and Keyframe-VO, while retaining strictly constant memory at zero training cost.

Directional mean dimension and continuum-wise expansive $\mathbb{Z}^k$-actions

We study directional mean dimension of $\mathbb{Z}^k$-actions (where $k$ is a positive integer). On the one hand, we show that there is a $\mathbb{Z}^2$-action whose directional mean dimension (considered as a $[0,+\infty]$-valued function on the torus) is not continuous. On the other hand, we prove that if a $\mathbb{Z}^k$-action is continuum-wise expansive, then the values of its $(k-1)$-dimensional directional mean dimension are bounded. This is a generalization (with a view towards Meyerovitch and Tsukamoto's theorem on mean dimension and expansive multiparameter actions) of a classical result due to Mañé: Any compact metrizable space admitting an expansive homeomorphism (with respect to a compatible metric) is finite-dimensional.

Learning Quality-aware Representation for Multi-person Pose Regression

Off-the-shelf single-stage multi-person pose regression methods generally leverage the instance score (i.e., confidence of the instance localization) to indicate the pose quality for selecting the pose candidates. We consider that there are two gaps involved in existing paradigm:~1) The instance score is not well interrelated with the pose regression quality.~2) The instance feature representation, which is used for predicting the instance score, does not explicitly encode the structural pose information to predict the reasonable score that represents pose regression quality. To address the aforementioned issues, we propose to learn the pose regression quality-aware representation. Concretely, for the first gap, instead of using the previous instance confidence label (e.g., discrete {1,0} or Gaussian representation) to denote the position and confidence for person instance, we firstly introduce the Consistent Instance Representation (CIR) that unifies the pose regression quality score of instance and the confidence of background into a pixel-wise score map to calibrates the inconsistency between instance score and pose regression quality. To fill the second gap, we further present the Query Encoding Module (QEM) including the Keypoint Query Encoding (KQE) to encode the positional and semantic information for each keypoint and the Pose Query Encoding (PQE) which explicitly encodes the predicted structural pose information to better fit the Consistent Instance Representation (CIR). By using the proposed components, we significantly alleviate the above gaps. Our method outperforms previous single-stage regression-based even bottom-up methods and achieves the state-of-the-art result of 71.7 AP on MS COCO test-dev set.

Strong Optomechanical Interactions with Long-lived Fundamental Acoustic Waves

Traveling-wave optomechanical interactions, known as Brillouin interactions, have now been established as a powerful and versatile resource for photonic sources, sensors, and radio-frequency processors. However, established Brillouin-based interactions with sufficient interaction strengths involve short phonon lifetimes, which critically limit their performance for applications including radio-frequency filtering and optomechanical storage devices. Here, we investigate a new paradigm of optomechanical interactions with fundamental acoustic modes, where interaction strength is decoupled from phonon lifetimes, enabling the uniquely desirable combination of high optomechanical coupling, long phonon lifetimes, tunable phonon frequencies, and single-sideband amplification. Using sensitive four-wave mixing spectroscopy controlling for noise and spatial mode coupling, optomechanical interactions with long > 2 $μs$ phonon lifetimes and strong > 400 $W^{-1} m^{-1}$ coupling are observed in a tapered fiber. In addition, we demonstrate novel phonon self-interference effects resulting from the unique combination of an axially varying device geometry with long phonon lifetimes. A generalized theoretical model, in excellent agreement with experiments, is developed with broad applicability to inhomogeneous optomechanical systems.

Observation of unconventional six-fold, four-fold and three-fold excitations in rare-earth-metal carbide Re2C3

Unconventional fermions, such as three-fold, four-fold, six-fold, and eight-fold fermions have attracted intense attention in recent years. However, the concrete materials hosting unconventional fermions are still in urgent scarcity. In this work, based first-principle calculations and symmetry analysis, we reveal rich unconventional fermions in existing compound Re2C3 (Re = Y, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu). We show that these compounds host quadratic dispersive three-fold (TP), linear dispersive four-fold (FP) and six-fold points (SP) near the Fermi level in their electric band structures when spin-orbital coupling (SOC) is not included. Notably, the FP is charge-2 Dirac-like point. More importantly, among compound Re2C3, the compound Yb2C3 has very clean band structure, and its unconventional fermions are closed to the Fermi level. We also find that a uniaxial strain can transform the unconventional fermions into other types fermions, depending on the directions of strain. When SOC is considered, a SP transform to an eightfold degenerate point and a fourfold degenerate point. Overall, our work provides a family of realistic materials to study the unconventional fermions.

A Record-High Ion Storage Capacity of T-Graphene as Two-Dimensional Anode Material for Li-ion and Na-ion Batteries

Developing applicable two-dimensional (2D) electrode materials with high performance, especially with high ion storage capacity, has become an ever more obsessive quest in recent years. Based on first-principles calculations, we report that T-graphene, a new carbon-based 2D material, has a record-high Li/Na storage capacity. The capacity of T-graphene is as high as 2233.2 mA h g-1 for Li, and can reach 2357.2 mA h g-1 for Na, which are 6 times as much as that of the commercial graphite and are the highest among 2D anode materials identified so far. We demonstrate that the ultrahigh storage capacity of T-graphene mostly benefits from its low atomic mass and special periodic lattice structure. T-graphene has not only the ultrahigh storage capacity but also hosts the stable ion adsorption, good electric conductivity, fast ion diffusion speed, and low open-circuit voltage, which are merits required as a superior anode material for Li-ion and Na-ion batteries with ultrahigh storage capacity.

Mean dimension and an embedding theorem for real flows

We develop mean dimension theory for $\mathbb{R}$-flows. We obtain fundamental properties and examples and prove an embedding theorem: Any real flow $(X,\mathbb{R})$ of mean dimension strictly less than $r$ admits an extension $(Y,\mathbb{R})$ whose mean dimension is equal to that of $(X,\mathbb{R})$ and such that $(Y,\mathbb{R})$ can be embedded in the $\mathbb{R}$-shift on the compact function space $\{f\in C(\mathbb{R},[-1,1])|\;\mathrm{supp}(\hat{f})\subset [-r,r]\}$, where $\hat{f}$ is the Fourier transform of $f$ considered as a tempered distribution. These canonical embedding spaces appeared previously as a tool in embedding results for $\mathbb{Z}$-actions.

Origin of the hump anomalies in the Hall resistance loops of ultrathin SrRuO$_3$/SrIrO$_3$ multilayers

The proposal that very small Néel skyrmions can form in SrRuO$_3$/SrIrO$_3$ epitaxial bilayers and that the electric field-effect can be used to manipulate these skyrmions in gated devices strongly stimulated the recent research of SrRuO$_3$ heterostructures. A strong interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction, combined with the breaking of inversion symmetry, was considered as the driving force for the formation of skyrmions in SrRuO$_3$/SrIrO$_3$ bilayers. Here, we investigated nominally symmetric heterostructures in which an ultrathin ferromagnetic SrRuO$_3$ layer is sandwiched between large spin-orbit coupling SrIrO$_3$ layers, for which the conditions are not favorable for the emergence of a net interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction. Previously the formation of skyrmions in the asymmetric SrRuO$_3$/SrIrO$_3$ bilayers was inferred from anomalous Hall resistance loops showing humplike features that resembled topological Hall effect contributions. Symmetric SrIrO$_3$/SrRuO$_3$/SrIrO$_3$ trilayers do not show hump anomalies in the Hall loops. However, the anomalous Hall resistance loops of symmetric multilayers, in which the trilayer is stacked several times, do exhibit the humplike structures, similar to the asymmetric SrRuO$_3$/SrIrO$_3$ bilayers. The origin of the Hall effect loop anomalies likely resides in unavoidable differences in the electronic and magnetic properties of the individual SrRuO$_3$ layers rather than in the formation of skyrmions.

P$^{2}$Net: Patch-match and Plane-regularization for Unsupervised Indoor Depth Estimation

This paper tackles the unsupervised depth estimation task in indoor environments. The task is extremely challenging because of the vast areas of non-texture regions in these scenes. These areas could overwhelm the optimization process in the commonly used unsupervised depth estimation framework proposed for outdoor environments. However, even when those regions are masked out, the performance is still unsatisfactory. In this paper, we argue that the poor performance suffers from the non-discriminative point-based matching. To this end, we propose P$^2$Net. We first extract points with large local gradients and adopt patches centered at each point as its representation. Multiview consistency loss is then defined over patches. This operation significantly improves the robustness of the network training. Furthermore, because those textureless regions in indoor scenes (e.g., wall, floor, roof, \etc) usually correspond to planar regions, we propose to leverage superpixels as a plane prior. We enforce the predicted depth to be well fitted by a plane within each superpixel. Extensive experiments on NYUv2 and ScanNet show that our P$^2$Net outperforms existing approaches by a large margin. Code is available at \url{https://github.com/svip-lab/Indoor-SfMLearner}.

Passively mode-locked thulium-doped all-fiber laser based on low V number fiber bending

This paper describes a mode locking technique based on enhanced polarization dependent loss (PDL). The method utilizes a bent single mode fiber (SMF28) coil to induce sufficient PDL at 2 \(μ\)m wavelength region. Significant PDL in SMF28 coils is enabled since the light is much more weakly guided. A passively mode-locked thulium doped all-fiber laser is demonstrated using this simple device with polarization controllers as mode locker. The results indicate a moderate amount of 1 dB is sufficient to initiate and sustain stable mode-locking operation. We believe, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of mode-locked fiber laser fully based on polarization dependent property of bent fiber section.

Topological Nodal Line Electrides: Realization of Ideal Nodal Line State Nearly Immune from Spin-Orbit Coupling

Nodal line semimetals (NLSs) have attracted broad interest in current research. In most of existing NLSs, the intrinsic properties of nodal lines are greatly destroyed because nodal lines usually suffer sizable gaps induced by non-negligible spin-orbit coupling (SOC). In this work,we propose the topological nodal line electrides (TNLEs), which achieve electronic structures of nodal lines and electrides simultaneously, provide new insight on designing excellent NLSs nearly immune from SOC. Since the states near the Fermi level are most contributed by nonnucleus-bounded interstitial electrons, nodal lines in TNLEs manifest extremely small SOCinduced gap even possessing heavy elements. Especially, we propose the family of A2B (A = Ca, Sr, Ba; B= As, Sb, Bi) materials are realistic TNLEs with negligible SOC-induced gaps, which can play as excellent platforms to study the intrinsic properties of TNLEs

Two-dimensional Weyl nodal line semimetal in high Curie temperature d0 ferromagnet K2N monolayer

Nodal line semimetals in two-dimensional (2-D) materials have attracted intense attention currently. From fundamental physics and spintronic applications points of view, high Curie temperature ferromagnetic (FM) ones with nodal lines robust against spin-orbit coupling (SOC) are significantly in desirable. Here, we propose that FM K2N monolayer is such Weyl nodal line semimetal. We show that K2N monolayer is dynamically stable, and has a FM ground magnetic state with the out-of-plane [001] magnetization. It shows two nodal lines in the low-energy band structures. Both nodal lines are robust against SOC, under the protection of mirror symmetry. We construct an effective Hamiltonian, which can well characterize the nodal lines in the system. Remarkably, the nodal line semimetal proposed here is distinct from the previously studied ones in that K2N monolayer is 2-D d0-type ferromagnet with the magnetism arising from the partially filled N-p orbitals, which can bring special advantages in spintronic applications. Besides, the Curie temperature in K2N monolayer is estimated to be 942K, being significantly higher than previous FM nodal lines materials. We also find that, specific tensile strains can transform the nodal line from type-I to a type-II one, making its nodal line characteristics even more interesting.
