  text: We show that Yao’s garbling scheme is adaptively indistinguishable for the
    class of Boolean circuits of size   S  and treewidth   w  with only a   SO(w)  loss
    in security. For instance, circuits with constant treewidth are as a result adaptively
    indistinguishable with only a polynomial loss. This (partially) complements a
    negative result of Applebaum et al. (Crypto 2013), which showed (assuming one-way
    functions) that Yao’s garbling scheme cannot be adaptively simulatable. As main
    technical contributions, we introduce a new pebble game that abstracts out our
    security reduction and then present a pebbling strategy for this game where the
    number of pebbles used is roughly   O(δwlog(S)) ,   δ  being the fan-out of the
    circuit. The design of the strategy relies on separators, a graph-theoretic notion
    with connections to circuit complexity.  with only a   SO(w)  loss in security.

  text: The security of cryptographic primitives and protocols against adversaries
    that are allowed to make adaptive choices (e.g., which parties to corrupt or which
    queries to make) is notoriously difficult to establish. A broad theoretical framework
    was introduced by Jafargholi et al. [Crypto’17] for this purpose. In this paper
    we initiate the study of lower bounds on loss in adaptive security for certain
    cryptographic protocols considered in the framework. We prove lower bounds that
    almost match the upper bounds (proven using the framework) for proxy re-encryption,
    prefix-constrained PRFs and generalized selective decryption, a security game
    that captures the security of certain group messaging and broadcast encryption
    schemes. Those primitives have in common that their security game involves an
    underlying graph that can be adaptively built by the adversary. Some of our lower
    bounds only apply to a restricted class of black-box reductions which we term
    “oblivious” (the existing upper bounds are of this restricted type), some apply
    to the broader but still restricted class of non-rewinding reductions, while our
    lower bound for proxy re-encryption applies to all black-box reductions. The fact
    that some of our lower bounds seem to crucially rely on obliviousness or at least
    a non-rewinding reduction hints to the exciting possibility that the existing
    upper bounds can be improved by using more sophisticated reductions. Our main
    conceptual contribution is a two-player multi-stage game called the Builder-Pebbler
    Game. We can translate bounds on the winning probabilities for various instantiations
    of this game into cryptographic lower bounds for the above-mentioned primitives
    using oracle separation techniques.

  text: 'We consider the almost-sure (a.s.) termination problem for probabilistic
    programs, which are a stochastic extension of classical imperative programs. Lexicographic
    ranking functions provide a sound and practical approach for termination of non-probabilistic
    programs, and their extension to probabilistic programs is achieved via lexicographic
    ranking supermartingales (LexRSMs). However, LexRSMs introduced in the previous
    work have a limitation that impedes their automation: all of their components
    have to be non-negative in all reachable states. This might result in LexRSM not
    existing even for simple terminating programs. Our contributions are twofold:
    First, we introduce a generalization of LexRSMs which allows for some components
    to be negative. This standard feature of non-probabilistic termination proofs
    was hitherto not known to be sound in the probabilistic setting, as the soundness
    proof requires a careful analysis of the underlying stochastic process. Second,
    we present polynomial-time algorithms using our generalized LexRSMs for proving
    a.s. termination in broad classes of linear-arithmetic programs.'

  text: The Hardy–Littlewood circle method was invented over a century ago to study
    integer solutions to special Diophantine equations, but it has since proven to
    be one of the most successful all-purpose tools available to number theorists.
    Not only is it capable of handling remarkably general systems of polynomial equations
    defined over arbitrary global fields, but it can also shed light on the space
    of rational curves that lie on algebraic varieties.  This book, in which the arithmetic
    of cubic polynomials takes centre stage, is aimed at bringing beginning graduate
    students into contact with some of the many facets of the circle method, both
    classical and modern. This monograph is the winner of the 2021 Ferran Sunyer i
    Balaguer Prize, a prestigious award for books of expository nature presenting
    the latest developments in an active area of research in mathematics.

  text: Those who aim to devise new materials with desirable properties usually examine
    present methods first. However, they will find out that some approaches can exist
    only conceptually without high chances to become practically useful. It seems
    that a numerical technique called automatic differentiation together with increasing
    supply of computational accelerators will soon shift many methods of the material
    design from the category ”unimaginable” to the category ”expensive but possible”.
    Approach we suggest is not an exception. Our overall goal is to have an efficient
    and generalizable approach allowing to solve inverse design problems. In this
    thesis we scratch its surface. We consider jammed systems of identical particles.
    And ask ourselves how the shape of those particles (or the parameters codifying
    it) may affect mechanical properties of the system. An indispensable part of reaching
    the answer is an appropriate particle parametrization. We come up with a simple,
    yet generalizable and purposeful scheme for it. Using our generalizable shape
    parameterization, we simulate the formation of a solid composed of pentagonal-like
    particles and measure anisotropy in the resulting elastic response. Through automatic
    differentiation techniques, we directly connect the shape parameters with the
    elastic response. Interestingly, for our system we find that less isotropic particles
    lead to a more isotropic elastic response. Together with other results known about
    our method it seems that it can be successfully generalized for different inverse
    design problems.

  text: "The scalability of concurrent data structures and distributed algorithms
    strongly depends on\r\nreducing the contention for shared resources and the costs
    of synchronization and communication. We show how such cost reductions can be
    attained by relaxing the strict consistency conditions required by sequential
    implementations. In the first part of the thesis, we consider relaxation in the
    context of concurrent data structures. Specifically, in data structures \r\nsuch
    as priority queues, imposing strong semantics renders scalability impossible,
    since a correct implementation of the remove operation should return only the
    element with highest priority. Intuitively, attempting to invoke remove operations
    concurrently  creates a race condition. This bottleneck  can be circumvented by
    relaxing semantics of the affected data structure, thus allowing removal of the
    elements which are no longer required to have the highest priority. We prove that
    the randomized implementations of relaxed data structures provide provable guarantees
    on the priority of the removed elements even under concurrency. Additionally,
    we show that in some cases the relaxed data structures can be used to scale the
    classical algorithms which are usually implemented with the exact ones. In the
    second part, we study parallel variants of the  stochastic gradient descent (SGD)
    algorithm, which distribute computation  among the multiple processors, thus reducing
    the running time. Unfortunately, in order for standard parallel SGD to succeed,
    each processor has to maintain a local copy of the necessary model parameter,
    which is identical to the local copies of other processors; the overheads from
    this perfect consistency in terms of communication and synchronization can negate
    the speedup gained by distributing the computation. We show that the consistency
    conditions required by SGD can be  relaxed, allowing the algorithm to be more
    flexible in terms of tolerating quantized communication, asynchrony, or even crash
    faults, while its convergence remains asymptotically the same."

  text: One key element behind the recent progress of machine learning has been the
    ability to train machine learning models in large-scale distributed shared-memory
    and message-passing environments. Most of these models are trained employing variants
    of stochastic gradient descent (SGD) based optimization, but most methods involve
    some type of consistency relaxation relative to sequential SGD, to mitigate its
    large communication or synchronization costs at scale. In this paper, we introduce
    a general consistency condition covering communication-reduced and asynchronous
    distributed SGD implementations. Our framework, called elastic consistency, decouples
    the system-specific aspects of the implementation from the SGD convergence requirements,
    giving a general way to obtain convergence bounds for a wide variety of distributed
    SGD methods used in practice. Elastic consistency can be used to re-derive or
    improve several previous convergence bounds in message-passing and shared-memory
    settings, but also to analyze new models and distribution schemes. As a direct
    application, we propose and analyze a new synchronization-avoiding scheduling
    scheme for distributed SGD, and show that it can be used to efficiently train
    deep convolutional models for image classification.

  text: Decentralized optimization is emerging as a viable alternative for scalable
    distributed machine learning, but also introduces new challenges in terms of synchronization
    costs. To this end, several communication-reduction techniques, such as non-blocking
    communication, quantization, and local steps, have been explored in the decentralized
    setting. Due to the complexity of analyzing optimization in such a relaxed setting,
    this line of work often assumes \emph{global} communication rounds, which require
    additional synchronization. In this paper, we consider decentralized optimization
    in the simpler, but harder to analyze, \emph{asynchronous gossip} model, in which
    communication occurs in discrete, randomly chosen pairings among nodes. Perhaps
    surprisingly, we show that a variant of SGD called \emph{SwarmSGD} still converges
    in this setting, even if \emph{non-blocking communication}, \emph{quantization},
    and \emph{local steps} are all applied \emph{in conjunction}, and even if the
    node data distributions and underlying graph topology are both \emph{heterogenous}.
    Our analysis is based on a new connection with multi-dimensional load-balancing
    processes. We implement this algorithm and deploy it in a super-computing environment,
    showing that it can outperform previous decentralized methods in terms of end-to-end
    training time, and that it can even rival carefully-tuned large-batch SGD for
    certain tasks.

  text: We show that in a two-dimensional electron gas with an annular Fermi surface,
    long-range Coulomb interactions can lead to unconventional superconductivity by
    the Kohn-Luttinger mechanism. Superconductivity is strongly enhanced when the
    inner and outer Fermi surfaces are close to each other. The most prevalent state
    has chiral p-wave symmetry, but d-wave and extended s-wave pairing are also possible.
    We discuss these results in the context of rhombohedral trilayer graphene, where
    superconductivity was recently discovered in regimes where the normal state has
    an annular Fermi surface. Using realistic parameters, our mechanism can account
    for the order of magnitude of Tc, as well as its trends as a function of electron
    density and perpendicular displacement field. Moreover, it naturally explains
    some of the outstanding puzzles in this material, that include the weak temperature
    dependence of the resistivity above Tc, and the proximity of spin singlet superconductivity
    to the ferromagnetic phase.

  text: Flowering plants utilize small RNA molecules to guide DNA methyltransferases
    to genomic sequences. This RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) pathway preferentially
    targets euchromatic transposable elements. However, RdDM is thought to be recruited
    by methylation of histone H3 at lysine 9 (H3K9me), a hallmark of heterochromatin.
    How RdDM is targeted to euchromatin despite an affinity for H3K9me is unclear.
    Here we show that loss of histone H1 enhances heterochromatic RdDM, preferentially
    at nucleosome linker DNA. Surprisingly, this does not require SHH1, the RdDM component
    that binds H3K9me. Furthermore, H3K9me is dispensable for RdDM, as is CG DNA methylation.
    Instead, we find that non-CG methylation is specifically associated with small
    RNA biogenesis, and without H1 small RNA production quantitatively expands to
    non-CG methylated loci. Our results demonstrate that H1 enforces the separation
    of euchromatic and heterochromatic DNA methylation pathways by excluding the small
    RNA-generating branch of RdDM from non-CG methylated heterochromatin.

  text: For many years, fullerene derivatives have been the main n-type material of
    organic electronics and optoelectronics. Recently, fullerene derivatives functionalized
    with ethylene glycol (EG) side chains have been showing important properties such
    as enhanced dielectric constants, facile doping and enhanced self-assembly capabilities.
    Here, we have prepared field-effect transistors using a series of these fullerene
    derivatives equipped with EG side chains of different lengths. Transport data
    show the beneficial effect of increasing the EG side chain. In order to understand
    the material properties, full structural determination of these fullerene derivatives
    has been achieved by coupling the X-ray data with molecular dynamics (MD) simulations.
    The increase in transport properties is paired with the formation of extended
    layered structures, efficient molecular packing and an increase in the crystallite
    alignment. The layer-like structure is composed of conducting layers, containing
    of closely packed C60 balls approaching the inter-distance of 1 nm, that are separated
    by well-defined EG layers, where the EG chains are rather splayed with the chain
    direction almost perpendicular to the layer normal. Such a layered structure appears
    highly ordered and highly aligned with the C60 planes oriented parallel to the
    substrate in the thin film configuration. The order inside the thin film increases
    with the EG chain length, allowing the systems to achieve mobilities as high as
    0.053 cm2 V−1 s−1. Our work elucidates the structure of these interesting semiconducting
    organic molecules and shows that the synergistic use of X-ray structural analysis
    and MD simulations is a powerful tool to identify the structure of thin organic
    films for optoelectronic applications.

  text: Realistic models of biological processes typically involve interacting components
    on multiple scales, driven by changing environment and inherent stochasticity.
    Such models are often analytically and numerically intractable. We revisit a dynamic
    maximum entropy method that combines a static maximum entropy with a quasi-stationary
    approximation. This allows us to reduce stochastic non-equilibrium dynamics expressed
    by the Fokker-Planck equation to a simpler low-dimensional deterministic dynamics,
    without the need to track microscopic details. Although the method has been previously
    applied to a few (rather complicated) applications in population genetics, our
    main goal here is to explain and to better understand how the method works. We
    demonstrate the usefulness of the method for two widely studied stochastic problems,
    highlighting its accuracy in capturing important macroscopic quantities even in
    rapidly changing non-stationary conditions. For the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process,
    the method recovers the exact dynamics whilst for a stochastic island model with
    migration from other habitats, the approximation retains high macroscopic accuracy
    under a wide range of scenarios in a dynamic environment.

  text: TGFβ overexpression is commonly detected in cancer patients and correlates
    with poor prognosis and metastasis. Cancer progression is often associated with
    an enhanced recruitment of myeloid-derived cells to the tumor microenvironment.
    Here we show that functional TGFβ-signaling in myeloid cells is required for metastasis
    to the lungs and the liver. Myeloid-specific deletion of Tgfbr2 resulted in reduced
    spontaneous lung metastasis, which was associated with a reduction of proinflammatory
    cytokines in the metastatic microenvironment. Notably, CD8+ T cell depletion in
    myeloid-specific Tgfbr2-deficient mice rescued lung metastasis. Myeloid-specific
    Tgfbr2-deficiency resulted in reduced liver metastasis with an almost complete
    absence of myeloid cells within metastatic foci. On contrary, an accumulation
    of Tgfβ-responsive myeloid cells was associated with an increased recruitment
    of monocytes and granulocytes and higher proinflammatory cytokine levels in control
    mice. Monocytic cells isolated from metastatic livers of Tgfbr2-deficient mice
    showed increased polarization towards the M1 phenotype, Tnfα and Il-1β expression,
    reduced levels of M2 markers and reduced production of chemokines responsible
    for myeloid-cell recruitment. No significant differences in Tgfβ levels were observed
    at metastatic sites of any model. These data demonstrate that Tgfβ signaling in
    monocytic myeloid cells suppresses CD8+ T cell activity during lung metastasis,
    while these cells actively contribute to tumor growth during liver metastasis.
    Thus, myeloid cells modulate metastasis through different mechanisms in a tissue-specific
    manner.

  text: We consider the quantum many-body evolution of a homogeneous Fermi gas in
    three dimensions in the coupled semiclassical and mean-field scaling regime. We
    study a class of initial data describing collective particle–hole pair excitations
    on the Fermi ball. Using a rigorous version of approximate bosonization, we prove
    that the many-body evolution can be approximated in Fock space norm by a quasi-free
    bosonic evolution of the collective particle–hole excitations.

  text: Classical models with complex energy landscapes represent a perspective avenue
    for the near-term application of quantum simulators. Until now, many theoretical
    works studied the performance of quantum algorithms for models with a unique ground
    state. However, when the classical problem is in a so-called clustering phase,
    the ground state manifold is highly degenerate. As an example, we consider a 3-XORSAT
    model defined on simple hypergraphs. The degeneracy of classical ground state
    manifold translates into the emergence of an extensive number of Z2 symmetries,
    which remain intact even in the presence of a quantum transverse magnetic field.
    We establish a general duality approach that restricts the quantum problem to
    a given sector of conserved Z2 charges and use it to study how the outcome of
    the quantum adiabatic algorithm depends on the hypergraph geometry. We show that
    the tree hypergraph which corresponds to a classically solvable instance of the
    3-XORSAT problem features a constant gap, whereas the closed hypergraph encounters
    a second-order phase transition with a gap vanishing as a power-law in the problem
    size. The duality developed in this work provides a practical tool for studies
    of quantum models with classically degenerate energy manifold and reveals potential
    connections between glasses and gauge theories.

  text: We derive optimal-order homogenization rates for random nonlinear elliptic
    PDEs with monotone nonlinearity in the uniformly elliptic case. More precisely,
    for a random monotone operator on \mathbb {R}^d with stationary law (that is spatially
    homogeneous statistics) and fast decay of correlations on scales larger than the
    microscale \varepsilon >0, we establish homogenization error estimates of the
    order \varepsilon in case d\geqq 3, and of the order \varepsilon |\log \varepsilon
    |^{1/2} in case d=2. Previous results in nonlinear stochastic homogenization have
    been limited to a small algebraic rate of convergence \varepsilon ^\delta . We
    also establish error estimates for the approximation of the homogenized operator
    by the method of representative volumes of the order (L/\varepsilon )^{-d/2} for
    a representative volume of size L. Our results also hold in the case of systems
    for which a (small-scale) C^{1,\alpha } regularity theory is available.

  text: We study a class of convex-concave saddle-point problems of the form minxmaxy⟨Kx,y⟩+fP(x)−h∗(y)
    where K is a linear operator, fP is the sum of a convex function f with a Lipschitz-continuous
    gradient and the indicator function of a bounded convex polytope P, and h∗ is
    a convex (possibly nonsmooth) function. Such problem arises, for example, as a
    Lagrangian relaxation of various discrete optimization problems. Our main assumptions
    are the existence of an efficient linear minimization oracle (lmo) for fP and
    an efficient proximal map for h∗ which motivate the solution via a blend of proximal
    primal-dual algorithms and Frank-Wolfe algorithms. In case h∗ is the indicator
    function of a linear constraint and function f is quadratic, we show a O(1/n2)
    convergence rate on the dual objective, requiring O(nlogn) calls of lmo. If the
    problem comes from the constrained optimization problem minx∈Rd{fP(x)|Ax−b=0}
    then we additionally get bound O(1/n2) both on the primal gap and on the infeasibility
    gap. In the most general case, we show a O(1/n) convergence rate of the primal-dual
    gap again requiring O(nlogn) calls of lmo. To the best of our knowledge, this
    improves on the known convergence rates for the considered class of saddle-point
    problems. We show applications to labeling problems frequently appearing in machine
    learning and computer vision.

  text: The popularity of permissioned blockchain systems demands BFT SMR protocols
    that are efficient under good network conditions (synchrony) and robust under
    bad network conditions (asynchrony). The state-of-the-art partially synchronous
    BFT SMR protocols provide optimal linear communication cost per decision under
    synchrony and good leaders, but lose liveness under asynchrony. On the other hand,
    the state-of-the-art asynchronous BFT SMR protocols are live even under asynchrony,
    but always pay quadratic cost even under synchrony. In this paper, we propose
    a BFT SMR protocol that achieves the best of both worlds -- optimal linear cost
    per decision under good networks and leaders, optimal quadratic cost per decision
    under bad networks, and remains always live.

  text: Hole gases in planar germanium can have high mobilities in combination with
    strong spin-orbit interaction and electrically tunable g factors, and are therefore
    emerging as a promising platform for creating hybrid superconductor-semiconductor
    devices. A key challenge towards hybrid Ge-based quantum technologies is the design
    of high-quality interfaces and superconducting contacts that are robust against
    magnetic fields. In this work, by combining the assets of aluminum, which provides
    good contact to the Ge, and niobium, which has a significant superconducting gap,
    we demonstrate highly transparent low-disordered JoFETs with relatively large
    ICRN products that are capable of withstanding high magnetic fields. We furthermore
    demonstrate the ability of phase-biasing individual JoFETs, opening up an avenue
    to explore topological superconductivity in planar Ge. The persistence of superconductivity
    in the reported hybrid devices beyond 1.8 T paves the way towards integrating
    spin qubits and proximity-induced superconductivity on the same chip.
