Towards Security-Auditable LLM Agents: A Unified Graph Representation

LLM-based agentic systems are rapidly evolving to perform complex autonomous tasks through dynamic tool invocation, stateful memory management, and multi-agent collaboration. However, this semantics-driven execution paradigm creates a severe semantic gap between low-level physical events and high-level execution intent, making post-hoc security auditing fundamentally difficult. Existing representation mechanisms, including static SBOMs and runtime logs, provide only fragmented evidence and fail to capture cognitive-state evolution, capability bindings, persistent memory contamination, and cascading risk propagation across interacting agents. To bridge this gap, we propose Agent-BOM, a unified structural representation for agent security auditing. Agent-BOM models an agentic system as a hierarchical attributed directed graph that separates static capability bases, such as models, tools, and long-term memory, from dynamic runtime semantic states, such as goals, reasoning trajectories, and actions. These layers are connected through semantic edges and security attributes, transforming fragmented execution traces into queryable audit paths. Building on Agent-BOM, we develop a graph-query-based paradigm for path-level risk assessment and instantiate it with the OWASP Agentic Top 10. We further implement an auditing plugin in the OpenClaw environment to construct Agent-BOM from live executions. Evaluation on representative real-world agentic attack scenarios shows that Agent-BOM can reconstruct stealthy attack chains, including cross-session memory poisoning and tool misuse, capability supply-chain hijacking and unexpected code execution, multi-agent ecosystem hijacking, and privilege and trust abuse. These results demonstrate that Agent-BOM provides a unified and auditable foundation for root-cause analysis and security adjudication in complex agentic ecosystems.

Global Weighted Tensor Nuclear Norm for Tensor Robust Principal Component Analysis

Tensor Robust Principal Component Analysis (TRPCA), which aims to recover a low-rank tensor corrupted by sparse noise, has attracted much attention in many real applications. This paper develops a new Global Weighted TRPCA method (GWTRPCA), which is the first approach simultaneously considers the significance of intra-frontal slice and inter-frontal slice singular values in the Fourier domain. Exploiting this global information, GWTRPCA penalizes the larger singular values less and assigns smaller weights to them. Hence, our method can recover the low-tubal-rank components more exactly. Moreover, we propose an effective adaptive weight learning strategy by a Modified Cauchy Estimator (MCE) since the weight setting plays a crucial role in the success of GWTRPCA. To implement the GWTRPCA method, we devise an optimization algorithm using an Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) method. Experiments on real-world datasets validate the effectiveness of our proposed method.

Phase transitions and topological properties of the 5/2 quantum Hall states with strong Landau-level mixing

We numerically study a 5/2 fractional quantum Hall system with even number of electrons using the exact diagonalization where both the strong Landau level (LL) mixing and a finite width of the quantum well have been considered and adapted into a screened Coulomb interaction. With the principal component analysis, we are able to recognize a compressible-incompressible phase transition in the parameter space made of the magnetic field and the quantum well width by the competition between the first two leading components of the ground states wave functions, which is consistent with the low-lying spectral feature and previous works in the odd-electron system. In addition, the presence of the subdominant third component suggests an incompressible transition occurring as the LL-mixing strength grows into a certain parameter region associated with the ZnO experiments. We further investigate the strongly LL-mixed phase in this emerging region with the Hall viscosity, wave function overlaps, and the entanglement spectra. Results show it can be well described as a particle-hole symmetrized Pfaffian state with the dual topological properties of the Pfaffian and the anti-Pfaffian states.

Unconventional supersymmetric quantum mechanics in spin systems

It is shown that the eigenproblem of any $2\times 2$ matrix Hamiltonian with discrete eigenvalues is involved with a supersymmetric quantum mechanics. The energy dependence of the superalgebra marks the disparity between the deduced supersymmetry and the standard supersymmetric quantum mechanics. The components of an eigenspinor are superpartners\textemdash up to a $SU(2)$ transformation\textemdash which allows to derive two reduced eigenproblems diagonalizing the Hamiltonian in the spin subspace. As a result, each component carries all information encoded in the eigenspinor. We also discuss the generalization of the formalism to a system of a single spin-$\frac{p}{2}$ coupled with external fields. The unconventional supersymmetry can be regarded as an extension of the Fulton-Gouterman transformation, which can be established for a two-level system coupled with multi oscillators displaying a mirror symmetry. The transformation is exploited recently to solve Rabi-type models. Correspondingly, we illustrate how the supersymmetric formalism can solve spin-boson models with no need to appeal a symmetry of the model. Furthermore, a pattern of entanglement between the components of an eigenstate of a many-spin system can be unveiled by exploiting the supersymmetric quantum mechanics associated with single spins which also recasts the eigenstate as a matrix product state. Examples of many-spin models are presented and solved by utilizing the formalism.

NAS-Count: Counting-by-Density with Neural Architecture Search

Most of the recent advances in crowd counting have evolved from hand-designed density estimation networks, where multi-scale features are leveraged to address the scale variation problem, but at the expense of demanding design efforts. In this work, we automate the design of counting models with Neural Architecture Search (NAS) and introduce an end-to-end searched encoder-decoder architecture, Automatic Multi-Scale Network (AMSNet). Specifically, we utilize a counting-specific two-level search space. The encoder and decoder in AMSNet are composed of different cells discovered from micro-level search, while the multi-path architecture is explored through macro-level search. To solve the pixel-level isolation issue in MSE loss, AMSNet is optimized with an auto-searched Scale Pyramid Pooling Loss (SPPLoss) that supervises the multi-scale structural information. Extensive experiments on four datasets show AMSNet produces state-of-the-art results that outperform hand-designed models, fully demonstrating the efficacy of NAS-Count.
