Cosmic topology. Part Va. Information content of the observable Universe

Deyan P. Mihaylov, Mikel Martin Barandiaran, Stefano Anselmi +14

If the Universe possesses a compact spatial topology with characteristic scale not much larger than the diameter of the observable Universe, then the associated symmetry transforma…

Discovering shared interpretable operations in image compression autoencoders

Caroline Mazini Rodrigues, Nicolas Keriven, Thomas Maugey

With the increasing adoption of deep learning for applications such as image compression, improvements in the rate-distortion trade-off have been achieved at the cost of increasing…

A Projection-Based Surrogate Gradient Interpretation for Neural Codec Wrappers

Esteban Pesnel, Julien Le Tanou, Michael Ropert +2

Neural wrappers are learned pre-and postprocessing networks designed to enhance the performance of conventional video codecs. Although these approaches can significantly improve co…

Quantum Signatures of Cosmic Topology: How Casimir Backreaction Transmits Isotropy Violation

Anna Negro, Kurt Hinterbichler, Glenn D. Starkman +17

A finite, scheme-independent Casimir contribution to the stress-energy tensor arises naturally for quantum fields in universes with non-trivial spatial topology. We compute this Ca…

On sparsity, extremal structure, and monotonicity properties of Wasserstein and Gromov-Wasserstein optimal transport plans

Titouan Vayer

This note gives a self-contained overview of some important properties of the Gromov-Wasserstein (GW) distance, compared with the standard linear optimal transport (OT) framework.…

Cosmic topology. Part IIc. Detectability with non-standard primordial power spectrum

Joline Noltmann, Andrius Tamosiunas, Deyan P. Mihaylov +13

Non-trivial spatial topology of the Universe can imprint potentially observable signatures on the cosmic microwave background (CMB). In this study, we investigate how deviations fr…

Efficient training for compact compression models via sequential distillation

Caroline Mazini Rodrigues, Nicolas Keriven, Thomas Maugey

Deep learning models for image compression often face practical limitations in hardware-constrained applications. Although these models achieve high-quality reconstructions, they a…

Alpha-particle generation from H-11B fusion initiated by laser-accelerated boron ions

Defeng Kong, Shirui Xu, Yinren Shou +21

Here we report the generation of MeV alpha-particles from H-11B fusion initiated by laser-accelerated boron ions. Boron ions with maximum energy of 6MeV and fluence of 10^9/MeV/sr@…
