Title: 𝐿²-stability and minimal entropy conditions for scalar conservation laws with concave-convex fluxes
In this paper, we study stability properties of solutions to scalar conservation laws with a class of nonconvex fluxes. Using the theory of a a -contraction with shifts, we show L 2 L^2 -stability for shocks among a class of large perturbations and give estimates on the weight coefficient a a in regimes where the shock amplitude is both large and small. Then, we use these estimates as a building block to show a uniqueness theorem under minimal entropy conditions for weak solutions to the conservation law via a modified front tracking algorithm. The proof is inspired by an analogous program carried out in the 2 ×<#comment/> 2 2 \times 2 system setting by Chen, Golding, Krupa, and Vasseur [Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal. 246 (2022), no. 1, 299–332 and J. Hyperbolic Differ. Equ. 20 (2023), no. 3, 541–602].  more » « less

  3. We introduce 5 / 2 5/2 - and 7 / 2 7/2 -order L 2 L^2 -accurate randomized Runge-Kutta-Nyström methods, tailored for approximating Hamiltonian flows within non-reversible Markov chain Monte Carlo samplers, such as unadjusted Hamiltonian Monte Carlo and unadjusted kinetic Langevin Monte Carlo. We establish quantitative 5 / 2 5/2 -order L 2 L^2 -accuracy upper bounds under gradient and Hessian Lipschitz assumptions on the potential energy function. The numerical experiments demonstrate the superior efficiency of the proposed unadjusted samplers on a variety of well-behaved, high-dimensional target distributions.

  4. We say a null-homologous knot K K in a 3 3 -manifold Y Y has Property G, if the Thurston norm and fiberedness of the complement of K K is preserved under the zero surgery on K K . In this paper, we will show that, if the smooth 4 4 -genus of K ×<#comment/> { 0 } K\times \{0\} (in a certain homology class) in ( Y ×<#comment/> [ 0 , 1 ] ) #<#comment/> N C P 2 ¯<#comment/> (Y\times [0,1])\#N\overline {\mathbb CP^2} , where Y Y is a rational homology sphere, is smaller than the Seifert genus of K K , then K K has Property G. When the smooth 4 4 -genus is 0 0 , Y Y can be taken to be any closed, oriented 3 3 -manifold.

  5. We formulate and prove a Conner–Floyd isomorphism for the algebraic K-theory of arbitrary qcqs derived schemes. To that end, we study a stable ∞<#comment/> \infty -category of non- A 1 \mathbb {A}^1 -invariant motivic spectra, which turns out to be equivalent to the ∞<#comment/> \infty -category of fundamental motivic spectra satisfying elementary blowup excision, previously introduced by the first and third authors. We prove that this ∞<#comment/> \infty -category satisfies P 1 \mathbb {P}^1 -homotopy invariance and weighted A 1 \mathbb {A}^1 -homotopy invariance, which we use in place of A 1 \mathbb {A}^1 -homotopy invariance to obtain analogues of several key results from A 1 \mathbb {A}^1 -homotopy theory. These allow us in particular to define a universal oriented motivic E ∞<#comment/> \mathbb {E}_\infty -ring spectrum M G L \mathrm {MGL} . We then prove that the algebraic K-theory of a qcqs derived scheme X X can be recovered from its M G L \mathrm {MGL} -cohomology via a Conner–Floyd isomorphism\[ M G L ∗<#comment/> ∗<#comment/> ( X ) ⊗<#comment/> L Z [ β<#comment/> ±<#comment/> 1 ] ≃<#comment/> K ∗<#comment/> ∗<#comment/> ( X ) , \mathrm {MGL}^{**}(X)\otimes _{\mathrm {L}{}}\mathbb {Z}[\beta ^{\pm 1}]\simeq \mathrm {K}{}^{**}(X), \]where L \mathrm {L}{} is the Lazard ring and K p , q ( X ) = K 2 q −<#comment/> p ( X ) \mathrm {K}{}^{p,q}(X)=\mathrm {K}{}_{2q-p}(X) . Finally, we prove a Snaith theorem for the periodized version of M G L \mathrm {MGL}
