   Abstract We study holomorphic mapsFfrom a smooth Levi non-degenerate real hypersurface$$ M_{\ell }\subset {\mathbb {C}}^n $$ $M_{\ell }\subset C^n$into a hyperquadric$$ {\mathbb {H}}_{\ell '}^N $$ $H_{{\ell }^{\prime }}^N$with signatures$$ \ell \le (n-1)/2 $$ $\ell \le (n-1)/2$and$$ \ell '\le (N-1)/2,$$ ${\ell }^{\prime }\le (N-1)/2,$respectively. Assuming that$$ N - n < n - 1,$$ $N-n<n-1,$we prove that if$$ \ell = \ell ',$$ $\ell ={\ell }^{\prime },$thenFis either CR transversal to$$ {\mathbb {H}}_{\ell }^N $$ $H_{\ell }^N$at every point of$$ M_{\ell },$$ $M_{\ell },$or it maps a neighborhood of$$ M_{\ell } $$ $M_{\ell }$in$$ {\mathbb {C}}^n $$ $C^n$into$$ {\mathbb {H}}_{\ell }^N.$$ $H_{\ell }^N.$Furthermore, in the case where$$ \ell ' > \ell ,$$ ${\ell }^{\prime }>\ell ,$we show that ifFis not CR transversal at$$0\in M_\ell ,$$ $0\in M_{\ell },$then it must be transversally flat. The latter is best possible.

2. A case study of SMEFT $$ \mathcal{O}\left(1/{\Lambda}^4\right) $$ effects in diboson processes: pp → W±(ℓ±ν)γ

   https://doi.org/10.1007/JHEP05(2024)223  

   Martin, Adam (May 2024, Journal of High Energy Physics)

   A<sc>bstract</sc> In this paper we explorepp→W^±(ℓ^±ν)γto$$ \mathcal{O}\left(1/{\Lambda}^4\right) $$ $O\left(1/{\Lambda }^4\right)$in the SMEFT expansion. Calculations to this order are necessary to properly capture SMEFT contributions that grow with energy, as the interference between energy-enhanced SMEFT effects at$$ \mathcal{O}\left(1/{\Lambda}^2\right) $$ $O\left(1/{\Lambda }^2\right)$and the Standard Model is suppressed. We find that there are several dimension eight operators that interfere with the Standard Model and lead to the same energy growth, ~$$ \mathcal{O}\left({E}^4/{\Lambda}^4\right) $$ $O\left(E^4/{\Lambda }^4\right)$, as dimension six squared. While energy-enhanced SMEFT contributions are a main focus, our calculation includes the complete set of$$ \mathcal{O}\left(1/{\Lambda}^4\right) $$ $O\left(1/{\Lambda }^4\right)$SMEFT effects consistent with U(3)⁵flavor symmetry. Additionally, we include the decay of theW^±→ ℓ^±ν, making the calculation actually$$ \overline{q}{q}^{\prime}\to {\ell}^{\pm}\nu \gamma $$ $\overline{q}{q}^{\prime }\to {\ell }^{\pm }\mathrm{\nu \gamma }$. As such, we are able to study the impact of non-resonant SMEFT operators, such as$$ \left({L}^{\dagger }{\overline{\sigma}}^{\mu }{\tau}^IL\right)\left({Q}^{\dagger }{\overline{\sigma}}^{\nu }{\tau}^IQ\right) $$ $\left(L^{†}{\overline{\sigma }}^{\mu }{\tau }^{I}L\right)\left(Q^{†}{\overline{\sigma }}^{\nu }{\tau }^{I}Q\right)$B_μν, which contribute to$$ \overline{q}{q}^{\prime}\to {\ell}^{\pm}\nu \gamma $$ $\overline{q}{q}^{\prime }\to {\ell }^{\pm }\mathrm{\nu \gamma }$directly and not to$$ \overline{q}{q}^{\prime}\to {W}^{\pm}\gamma $$ $\overline{q}{q}^{\prime }\to W^{\pm }\gamma$. We show several distributions to illustrate the shape differences of the different contributions.

3. VC-Dimension of Hyperplanes Over Finite Fields

   https://doi.org/10.1007/s00373-025-02909-6  

   Ascoli, Ruben; Betti, Livia; Cheigh, Justin; Iosevich, Alex; Jeong, Ryan; Liu, Xuyan; McDonald, Brian; Milgrim, Wyatt; Miller, Steven_J; Romero_Acosta, Francisco; et al (March 2025, Graphs and Combinatorics)

   Abstract Let$$\mathbb {F}_q^d$$ $F_q^d$be thed-dimensional vector space over the finite field withqelements. For a subset$$E\subseteq \mathbb {F}_q^d$$ $E\subseteq F_q^d$and a fixed nonzero$$t\in \mathbb {F}_q$$ $t\in F_q$, let$$\mathcal {H}_t(E)=\{h_y: y\in E\}$$ $H_t\left(E\right)=\{h_y:y\in E\}$, where$$h_y:E\rightarrow \{0,1\}$$ $h_y:E\to \{0,1\}$is the indicator function of the set$$\{x\in E: x\cdot y=t\}$$ $\{x\in E:x·y=t\}$. Two of the authors, with Maxwell Sun, showed in the case$$d=3$$ $d=3$that if$$|E|\ge Cq^{\frac{11}{4}}$$ $\left|E\right|\ge C{q}^{\frac{11}{4}}$andqis sufficiently large, then the VC-dimension of$$\mathcal {H}_t(E)$$ $H_t\left(E\right)$is 3. In this paper, we generalize the result to arbitrary dimension by showing that the VC-dimension of$$\mathcal {H}_t(E)$$ $H_t\left(E\right)$isdwhenever$$E\subseteq \mathbb {F}_q^d$$ $E\subseteq F_q^d$with$$|E|\ge C_d q^{d-\frac{1}{d-1}}$$ $\left|E\right|\ge C_d{q}^{d-\frac{1}{d-1}}$.

4. Measurement of the mass dependence of the transverse momentum of lepton pairs in Drell–Yan production in proton–proton collisions at $$\sqrt{s} = 13\,\text {Te\hspace{-.08em}V} $$

   https://doi.org/10.1140/epjc/s10052-023-11631-7  

   Tumasyan, A.; Adam, W.; Andrejkovic, J. W.; Bergauer, T.; Chatterjee, S.; Dragicevic, M.; Valle, A. Escalante; Frühwirth, R.; Jeitler, M.; Krammer, N.; et al (July 2023, The European Physical Journal C)

   Abstract The double differential cross sections of the Drell–Yan lepton pair ($$\ell ^+\ell ^-$$ ${\ell }^{+}{\ell }^{-}$, dielectron or dimuon) production are measured as functions of the invariant mass$$m_{\ell \ell }$$ $m_{\ell \ell }$, transverse momentum$$p_{\textrm{T}} (\ell \ell )$$ $p_{\text{T}}\left(\ell \ell \right)$, and$$\varphi ^{*}_{\eta }$$ ${\phi }_{\eta }^{\ast }$. The$$\varphi ^{*}_{\eta }$$ ${\phi }_{\eta }^{\ast }$observable, derived from angular measurements of the leptons and highly correlated with$$p_{\textrm{T}} (\ell \ell )$$ $p_{\text{T}}\left(\ell \ell \right)$, is used to probe the low-$$p_{\textrm{T}} (\ell \ell )$$ $p_{\text{T}}\left(\ell \ell \right)$region in a complementary way. Dilepton masses up to 1$$\,\text {Te\hspace{-.08em}V}$$ $\text{Te}\text{V}$are investigated. Additionally, a measurement is performed requiring at least one jet in the final state. To benefit from partial cancellation of the systematic uncertainty, the ratios of the differential cross sections for various$$m_{\ell \ell }$$ $m_{\ell \ell }$ranges to those in the Z mass peak interval are presented. The collected data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 36.3$$\,\text {fb}^{-1}$$ ${\text{fb}}^{-1}$of proton–proton collisions recorded with the CMS detector at the LHC at a centre-of-mass energy of 13$$\,\text {Te\hspace{-.08em}V}$$ $\text{Te}\text{V}$. Measurements are compared with predictions based on perturbative quantum chromodynamics, including soft-gluon resummation.

5. Calderón–Zygmund theory for strongly coupled linear system of nonlocal equations with Hölder-regular coefficient

   https://doi.org/10.1515/acv-2024-0005  

   Mengesha, Tadele; Schikorra, Armin; Seesanea, Adisak; Yeepo, Sasikarn (November 2024, Advances in Calculus of Variations)

   Abstract We extend the Calderón–Zygmund theory for nonlocal equations tostrongly coupled system of linear nonlocal equations ${\mathcal{ℒ}}_A^{s}u=f${\mathcal{L}^{s}_{A}u=f}, where the operator ${\mathcal{ℒ}}_A^s${\mathcal{L}^{s}_{A}}is formally given by ${\mathcal{ℒ}}_A^{s}u={\int }_{{ℝ}^n}\frac{A(x,y)}{{\left|x-y\right|}^{n+2s}}\frac{\left(x-y\right)\otimes \left(x-y\right)}{{\left|x-y\right|}^2}\left(u\left(x\right)-u\left(y\right)\right)𝑑y.$\mathcal{L}^{s}_{A}u=\int_{\mathbb{R}^{n}}\frac{A(x,y)}{|x-y|^{n+2s}}\frac{(x-%y)\otimes(x-y)}{|x-y|^{2}}(u(x)-u(y))\,dy. For $0<s<1${0<1}and $A:{ℝ}^n\times {ℝ}^n\to ℝ${A:\mathbb{R}^{n}\times\mathbb{R}^{n}\to\mathbb{R}}taken to be symmetric and serving asa variable coefficient for the operator, the system under consideration is the fractional version of the classical Navier–Lamé linearized elasticity system. The study of the coupled system of nonlocal equations is motivated by its appearance in nonlocal mechanics, primarily in peridynamics. Our regularity result states that if $A(\cdot ,y)${A(\,\cdot\,,y)}is uniformly Holder continuous and ${inf}_{x\in {ℝ}^n}A(x,x)>0${\inf_{x\in\mathbb{R}^{n}}A(x,x)>0}, then for $f\in L_{\mathrm{loc}}^p${f\in L^{p}_{\rm loc}}, for $p\ge 2${p\geq 2}, the solution vector $u\in H_{\mathrm{loc}}^{2s-\delta ,p}${u\in H^{2s-\delta,p}_{\rm loc}}for some $\delta \in (0,s)${\delta\in(0,s)}.
