Almost every automaton can be reset with a short word
Guillaume Chapuy (Université Paris Cité, CNRS) and Guillem Perarnau (UPC, CRM) have shown that a random finite automaton with n states can, with high probability, be reset by a word of length of order √n log n. The result, published in ACM Transactions on Algorithms, pins the exponent at 1/2, the lower end of a decade of numerical estimates, and addresses the random version of the synchronization problem behind a conjecture Ján Černý posed in 1964 and which still remains open.

ADA: Decoding Brain Signals Misaligned in Time
The study addresses a key limitation of current brain decoding techniques: the difficulty of interpreting internal mental processes whose temporal dynamics vary from trial to trial.Decoding what is happening in a person’s mind from their brain activity is one of the...
Rare curves, many points: Christophe Ritzenthaler and Rachel Pries on their research and the work around it
Christophe Ritzenthaler (Université de Rennes) and Rachel Pries (Colorado State University) both work on curves over finite fields: he hunts curves with as many points as possible, she hunts curves that almost never occur. In conversation with the CRM during their...
