Electrical Regulation of Transverse Spin Currents in Unconventional Magnetic Ferroeletrics

We identify hexagonal YMnO3_3 as a material realization of the elusive ββ-phase of unconventional magnetism, a noncollinear, noncoplanar antiferromagnetic state defined by intrinsic spin-momentum locking and a topological spin texture. First-principle calculations reveal that this unique electronic structure enables a perpendicular electric field to generate a transverse pure spin current, a response that occurs without requiring relativistic spin-orbit coupling. Symmetry analysis demonstrates that this spin current is intimately related to the material's ferroelectric polarization that breaks the inversion symmetry and is rigorously forbidden at domain walls where electrical polarization vanishes. This provides a blueprint for a non-volatile transistor where a gate voltage switches the spin current conductivity by controlling domain wall density, enabling all-electrical control for energy-efficient antiferromagnetic spintronics.

TRACE: Tourism Recommendation with Accountable Citation Evidence

Tourism is a high-stakes setting for conversational recommender systems (CRS): a plausible-sounding suggestion can waste real money and trip time once a traveler acts on it. Existing CRS benchmarks primarily evaluate systems with a single Recall@k score over entity mentions, and tourism-specific resources add spatial or knowledge-graph context, yet none of them couple multi-turn recommendation with verbatim review-span evidence and rejection recovery. This leaves an evaluation gap for tourism recommendation that is simultaneously trustworthy, verifiable, and adaptive: recommend the right point of interest (POI) for multi-aspect preferences (such as cuisine, price, atmosphere, walking distance), justify each suggestion with verifiable evidence from prior visitors so the traveler can act without trial and error, and recover when the first recommendation is rejected mid-dialogue. We introduce TRACE, where each item is a multi-turn tourism recommendation dialogue with review-span citations and explicit rejection turns: 10,000 dialogues over 2,400 Yelp POIs and 34,208 reviews across eight U.S. cities, paired with 14 retrieval, planning, and LLM baselines, along with 25 metrics organized under Accuracy, Grounding, and Recovery. Across these baselines, TRACE reveals the Three-Competency Gap: LLM Zero-Shot leads in closed-set Recall@1 and rejection recovery but cites less densely than retrievers; non-LLM retrievers achieve surface-verbatim grounding but with low accuracy; Multi-Review Synthesis fails at recovery. The Grounding Score agrees with human citation precision (Spearman rho=+0.80, p<10^-20), and paired t-tests reproduce the per-baseline ranking (p<0.01 on the dominant contrasts). TRACE reframes accountable tourism recommendation as a joint target (right POI, verifiable evidence, adaptive repair) rather than a single-axis leaderboard.

Convergence rate to the Tracy-Widom laws for the largest eigenvalue of Wigner matrices

We show that the fluctuations of the largest eigenvalue of a real symmetric or complex Hermitian Wigner matrix of size NN converge to the Tracy--Widom laws at a rate O(N−1/3+ω)O(N^{-1/3+ω}), as NN tends to infinity. For Wigner matrices this improves the previous rate O(N−2/9+ω)O(N^{-2/9+ω}) obtained by Bourgade [5] for generalized Wigner matrices. Our result follows from a Green function comparison theorem, originally introduced by Erdős, Yau and Yin [19] to prove edge universality, on a finer spectral parameter scale with improved error estimates. The proof relies on the continuous Green function flow induced by a matrix-valued Ornstein--Uhlenbeck process. Precise estimates on leading contributions from the third and fourth order moments of the matrix entries are obtained using iterative cumulant expansions and recursive comparisons for correlation functions, along with uniform convergence estimates for correlation kernels of the Gaussian invariant ensembles.

Identifying critical nodes in complex networks by graph representation learning

Because of its wide application, critical nodes identification has become an important research topic at the micro level of network science. Influence maximization is one of the main problems in critical nodes mining and is usually handled with heuristics. In this paper, a deep graph learning framework IMGNN is proposed and the corresponding training sample generation scheme is designed. The framework takes centralities of nodes in a network as input and the probability that nodes in the optimal initial spreaders as output. By training on a large number of small synthetic networks, IMGNN is more efficient than human-based heuristics in minimizing the size of initial spreaders under the fixed infection scale. The experimental results on one synthetic and five real networks show that, compared with traditional non-iterative node ranking algorithms, IMGNN has the smallest proportion of initial spreaders under different infection probabilities when the final infection scale is fixed. And the reordered version of IMGNN outperforms all the latest critical nodes mining algorithms.

Quantitative Tracy-Widom laws for the largest eigenvalue of generalized Wigner matrices

We show that the fluctuations of the largest eigenvalue of any generalized Wigner matrix HH converge to the Tracy-Widom laws at a rate nearly O(N−1/3)O(N^{-1/3}), as the matrix dimension NN tends to infinity. We allow the variances of the entries of HH to have distinct values but of comparable sizes such that ∑iE∣hij∣2=1\sum_{i} \mathbb{E}|h_{ij}|^2=1. Our result improves the previous rate O(N−2/9)O(N^{-2/9}) by Bourgade [8] and the proof relies on the first long-time Green function comparison theorem near the edges without the second moment matching restriction.

Towards Unbiased Multi-label Zero-Shot Learning with Pyramid and Semantic Attention

Multi-label zero-shot learning extends conventional single-label zero-shot learning to a more realistic scenario that aims at recognizing multiple unseen labels of classes for each input sample. Existing works usually exploit attention mechanism to generate the correlation among different labels. However, most of them are usually biased on several major classes while neglect most of the minor classes with the same importance in input samples, and may thus result in overly diffused attention maps that cannot sufficiently cover minor classes. We argue that disregarding the connection between major and minor classes, i.e., correspond to the global and local information, respectively, is the cause of the problem. In this paper, we propose a novel framework of unbiased multi-label zero-shot learning, by considering various class-specific regions to calibrate the training process of the classifier. Specifically, Pyramid Feature Attention (PFA) is proposed to build the correlation between global and local information of samples to balance the presence of each class. Meanwhile, for the generated semantic representations of input samples, we propose Semantic Attention (SA) to strengthen the element-wise correlation among these vectors, which can encourage the coordinated representation of them. Extensive experiments on the large-scale multi-label zero-shot benchmarks NUS-WIDE and Open-Image demonstrate that the proposed method surpasses other representative methods by significant margins.

Phonon spectrum of Pr2_2Zr2_2O7_7 and Pr2_2Ir2_2O7_7 as an evidence of coupling of the lattice with electronic and magnetic degrees of freedom

Magnetic materials with pyrochlore crystal structure form exotic magnetic states due to the high lattice frustration. In this work we follow the effects of coupling of the lattice and electronic and magnetic degrees of freedom in two Praseodymium-based pyrochlores Pr2_2Zr2_2O7_7 and Pr2_2Ir2_2O7_7. In both materials the presence of magnetic interactions does not lead to magnetically ordered low temperature states, however their electronic properties are different. A comparison of Raman phonon spectra of Pr2_2Zr2_2O7_7 and Pr2_2Ir2_2O7_7 allows us to identify magneto-elastic coupling in Pr2_2Zr2_2O7_7 that elucidates its magnetic properties at intermediate temperatures, and allows us to characterize phonon-electron coupling in the semimetallic Pr2_2Ir2_2O7_7. We also show that the effects of random disorder on the Raman phonon spectra is small.

Central limit theorem for mesoscopic eigenvalue statistics of deformed Wigner matrices and sample covariance matrices

We consider NN by NN deformed Wigner random matrices of the form XN=HN+ANX_N=H_N+A_N, where HNH_N is a real symmetric or complex Hermitian Wigner matrix and ANA_N is a deterministic real bounded diagonal matrix. We prove a universal Central Limit Theorem for the linear eigenvalue statistics of XNX_N for all mesoscopic scales both in the spectral bulk and at regular edges where the global eigenvalue density vanishes as a square root. The method relies on the characteristic function method in [47], local laws for the Green function of XNX_N in [3, 46, 51] and analytic subordination properties of the free additive convolution [24, 41]. We also prove the analogous results for high-dimensional sample covariance matrices.

Central limit theorem for mesoscopic eigenvalue statistics of the free sum of matrices

We consider random matrices of the form HN=AN+UNBNUN∗H_N=A_N+U_N B_N U^*_N, where ANA_N, BNB_N are two NN by NN deterministic Hermitian matrices and UNU_N is a Haar distributed random unitary matrix. We establish a universal Central Limit Theorem for the linear eigenvalue statistics of HNH_N on all mesoscopic scales inside the regular bulk of the spectrum. The proof is based on studying the characteristic function of the linear eigenvalue statistics, and consists of two main steps: (1) generating Ward identities using the left-translation-invariance of the Haar measure, along with a local law for the resolvent of HNH_N and analytic subordination properties of the free additive convolution, allow us to derive an explicit formula for the derivative of the characteristic function; (2) a local law for two-point product functions of resolvents is derived using a partial randomness decomposition of the Haar measure. We also prove the corresponding results for orthogonal conjugations.

On fluctuations of global and mesoscopic linear eigenvalue statistics of generalized Wigner matrices

We consider an NN by NN real or complex generalized Wigner matrix HNH_N, whose entries are independent centered random variables with uniformly bounded moments. We assume that the variance profile, sij:=E∣Hij∣2s_{ij}:=\mathbb{E} |H_{ij}|^2, satisfies ∑i=1Nsij=1\sum_{i=1}^Ns_{ij}=1, for all 1≤j≤N1 \leq j \leq N and c−1≤Nsij≤cc^{-1} \leq N s_{ij} \leq c for all 1≤i,j≤N 1 \leq i,j \leq N with some constant c≥1c \geq 1. We establish Gaussian fluctuations for the linear eigenvalue statistics of HNH_N on global scales, as well as on all mesoscopic scales up to the spectral edges, with the expectation and variance formulated in terms of the variance profile. We subsequently obtain the universal mesoscopic central limit theorems for the linear eigenvalue statistics inside the bulk and at the edges respectively.

Jamming transition in non-spherical particle systems: pentagons vs. disks

We investigate the jamming transition in a quasi-2D granular material composed of regular pentagons or disks subjected to quasistatic uniaxial compression. We report six major findings based on experiments with monodisperse photoelastic particles with static friction coefficient μ≈1μ\approx 1. (1) For both pentagons and disks, the onset of rigidity occurs when the average coordination number of non-rattlers, ZnrZ_{nr} , reaches 3, and the dependence of ZnrZ_{nr} on the packing fraction ϕϕ changes again when ZnrZ_{nr} reaches 4. (2) Though the packing fractions ϕc1ϕ_{c1} and ϕc2ϕ_{c2} at these transitions differ from run to run, for both shapes the data from all runs with different initial configurations collapses when plotted as a function of the non-rattler fraction. (3) The averaged values of ϕc1ϕ_{c1} and ϕc2ϕ_{c2} for pentagons are around 1% smaller than those for disks. (4) Both jammed pentagons and disks show Gamma distribution of the Voronoi cell area with same parameters. (5) The jammed pentagons have similar translational order for particle centers but slightly less orientational order for contacting pairs comparing to jammed disks. (6) For jammed pentagons, the angle between edges at a face-to-vertex contact point shows a uniform distribution and the size of a cluster connected by face-to-face contacts shows a power-law distribution.
