    AbstractBy the Giambruno–Zaicev theorem (Giambruno and Zaicev, 1999) [5], the exponent exp(A) of a p.i. algebra A exists, and is always an integer. In Berele and Regev (2001) [2] it was shown that the exponent exp(Stn) of the standard polynomial Stn of degree n is not smaller than the exponent of any polynomial of degree n. Here it is proved that exp(Stn) is strictly larger than the exponent of any other polynomial of degree n which is not a multiple of Stn

    We show that for any n-dimensional lattice ℒ ⊆ ℝⁿ, the torus ℝⁿ/ℒ can be embedded into Hilbert space with O(√{nlog n}) distortion. This improves the previously best known upper bound of O(n√{log n}) shown by Haviv and Regev (APPROX 2010, J. Topol. Anal. 2013) and approaches the lower bound of Ω(√n) due to Khot and Naor (FOCS 2005, Math. Ann. 2006)

    Artema nephilit sp. nov. urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: 8C0CA94A-B5CF-4585-B51D-FF25711103E5 Figs 1, 4–6, 9–14, 35–75, 203, 210 “ Artema mauriciana ” (misidentification) – Bodenheimer 1937: 238 (“ Palestina ”); see Notes below. “ Artema mauricia ” (misidentification) – Dalmas 1920: 59 (Bodrum, Turkey). Diagnosis Males can be distinguished from all known congeners by their bulbal processes: process c (Fig. 40) projecting prolaterally, processes d and e absent (Fig. 39) (A. magna: process c robust, strongly curved prolaterally, process d distinct rounded projection on ventral side of bulb – see Figs 159–160; A. doriae and A. transcaspica: process d small, pointed towards ventrodistally) and by unique median projection on each male cheliceral process (Figs 43–44, 67) (only A. magna with similar median projection but no modified hairs connect to main ridge as in A. nephilit sp. nov. – see Figs 163–164). Females with semicircular epigynum (Figs 45–50); differing from A. atlanta by straight posterior epigynal margin; from A. magna by epigynal plate length to width ratio; from A. bunkpurugu by much less prominent anterior epigynal projections (AEP in Fig. 48) (cf. Huber & Kwapong 2013: figs 49, 53–54). Etymology The species epithet is derived from the feminine singular noun of the biblical name “Nephilim”, the giants who were seen by the twelve people sent by Moses to scout the Land of Canaan. It refers to the large size of the spider. Noun in apposition.

Chelicerae as in Figs 42–44 and as in Figs 67–69, with frontal row of ~20 modified (cone-shaped) hairs on each side that splits distally, with outer branch ending at tip of process, inner branch ending at tip of median projection; with indistinct small field of stridulatory ridges laterally (as in Fig. 70). Abdomen globose and high; gonopore with four epiandrous spigots. PALPS. As in Figs 36–38. Coxa unmodified. Trochanter with short ventral projection.

LEGS.Without spines;with long curved hairs, especially on tibiae and metatarsi; retrolateral trichobothrium on tibia 1 at 8%; prolateral trichobothrium present on all tibiae; pseudosegmentation not visible. Male (variation) Tibia 1 in 14 other males: 9.2–20.6 (mean 14.4). Color pattern on abdomen varies from distinctive stripes consisting of black and white dots on pale to brown-ochre background to pale without any pattern (cf. females, Figs 52–53); leg color varies from light brown to ochre; ocular area usually light brown to ochre; median band on carapace sometimes reaches posterior margin of ocular area, forming short v-shaped mark. Cheliceral modified hairs vary slightly in numbers. Gonopore with variable number of epiandrous spigots (4–6) (Fig. 63). Female In general similar to male; tibia 1 in 26 females: 8.0–16.5 (mean 12.5); several females with light brown carapace margins and subtle brown stripes on ocular area. Stridulatory files laterally on chelicerae more distinct than in males (Fig. 71). Epigynum almost twice as wide as long, semi-circular, posterior margin almost straight, gently undulating; epigynal plate consisting of two sclerotized lateral areas that appear swollen posteriorly, pale median area, and dark median sclerite anteriorly (variably large and variably distinct) (Figs 45–50); pair of projections anterior to epigynum (AEP) visible (Fig. 48) but not prominent as in A. bunkpurugu (cf. Huber & Kwapong 2013: figs 49, 53–54). Natural history The spiders were found both in natural habitats such as caves, deep crevices, and under boulders, as well as in man-made habitats such as buildings, under low culverts, and artificial caves. In caves, the spiders built irregular webs (not clearly dome-shaped webs) near the ground, under stones, in crevices, and on the cave ceiling. The spiders seemed to avoid the deeper, dark parts of the visited caves. In a large cave survey we conducted in Israel (Aharon 2016), we found A. nephilit sp. nov. in caves especially along the Jordan Rift Valley, in a very hot and arid zone with low mean annual precipitation (50–150 mm). Only a few specimens were found outside the Jordan Rift Valley, in caves in areas with higher mean annual precipitation (400–650 mm) in a more mesic habitat. These findings suggest that the species is more abundant in xeric, hot and dry caves rather than in humid caves nearby. The spiders were always found on the east or south slopes that are dryer than the west and north slopes and thus seem to be adapted to arid conditions (Aharon 2016). We examined more than 40 caves in Israel; 19 caves were inhabited by A. nephilit sp. nov., and most of these caves were dry. Some specimens were also found in hot, humid caves, but the species was never found in wet caves. In caves in southern Israel, where food abundance was low, we could not observe prey items. In a cave situated in the Golan Heights, in the north of Israel, where the annual precipitation is higher, we recorded remnants of isopods, tenebrionid beetles, small scorpions, and a spider. In the south of Israel, in a basement of the Eilat Field School, we observed remnants of adult males that had probably been killed by females (that were seen nearby), while in a cave in Nahal Perat, east of Jerusalem, we observed the predation of an adult male A. nephilit sp. nov. by Holocnemus pluchei (Scopoli, 1763). Penultimate instar juveniles collected from caves in southern Israel (Arubatayim, Sedom, and Malcham) and reared independently in Bonn, Germany and Midreshet Ben-Gurion, Israel, molted to adult almost simultaneously after an unusually long period of 9–10 months (September 2013 to July 2014) (4 ♂♂ and 1 ♀ molted in Midreshet Ben-Gurion; 3 ♂♂ in Bonn). This simultaneous timing suggests that the long period is not an artifact caused by the food regime or differences from natural conditions, but rather reflects an intrinsic growth and maturation period. A mating sequence was observed on 10 Jan. 2015 (in Bonn, Germany). Male from Israel, Sedom Cave; collected penultimate in September 2013; molted to adult in July 2014. Female from Israel, Mount Berenice; collected penultimate in September 2013; molted to adult in September 2014. Previous trials (with various males and females) performed in daylight had resulted in no male reaction when placed into the female’s web. Trials under red light resulted in male courtship, but the females, who had not recently fed, attacked the males. Two days after being fed with crickets, the female above finally accepted the male. Time specification shown as hr:min. 0:00 Male is gently transferred to female web. 0: 12 Male approaches female, bounces slightly and touches silk lines with front legs; female directs herself towards male, vibrates slightly a few times. 0: 16 Male touches female legs and approaches further (Fig. 9); female remains mostly still. 0:17 Final approach; male lowers palps below body (Fig. 10); searches for about 20 sec for correct position on female, apparently by searching for correct alignment of chelicerae relative to epigynum (Fig. 11); female abdomen is pushed backwards. 0:18 As soon as chelicerae are correctly placed (locked?) at epigynum, palps are rotated 180° around longitudinal axis (procursus moving outward and forward; Fig. 12); insertion of palps, start of copulation; female releases legs from silk, pulls all legs above body and is moved by male to perpendicular final mating position. 0:19–1:02 No major movements, only very slight jerks of male body, usually every 6–8 seconds, rarely with shorter (4 sec) or longer (10 sec) intervals; no rhythmic palpal movements; no female movements; no female stridulation; asymmetric insertion of palps, consistent over entire copulation (left palp more deeply inserted than right palp; Fig. 13). 1:02 Sudden separation, apparently initiated by male. 1:02–1: 12 Female remains motionless; male cleans palps for about 10 min (Fig. 14), then also motionless. 1:18 End of observation. About 24 weeks later, this female produced an egg-sac. After another two weeks (i.e., beginning of August 2015), about 40 spiderlings emerged; two weeks later again they molted for the first time. In July 2017, i.e., almost two years after eclosion, most remaining specimens (about 15) molted to adults. Distribution After the ubiquitous Holocnemus pluchei, A. nephilit sp. nov. is the most common pholcid in the Jordan Rift Valley. It has been collected from underground shelters and caves from the Eilat Mountains (Fig. 8) in the south, to Nahal Ayun in the north. Specimens from outside the Rift Valley (Israel: Ramat Avedat near Sede Boqer; Oren Cave (Fig. 7), Mount Karmel; Jordan: Petra), as well as from Cyprus, Greece, and Turkey, indicate that the species is probably widely distributed in the area. Two females with very similar epigynum were collected from Yemen and the United Arab Emirates (Fig. 1). Notes We have not seen the material identified by Bodenheimer (1937) as A. mauriciana. However, A. mauriciana (= A. atlanta) does not seem to occur in Israel and there is no evidence that it ever existed there. We consider it likely that Bodenheimer was dealing with the common A. nephilit sp. nov. rather than with the much rarer (i.e., in Israel) A. doriae. The females from Yemen (“Yar Ju Amlah” = Al Ja’milah?) and from the United Arab Emirates have a very similar epigynum, but since no males from these localities are known, they are assigned tentatively.Published as part of Aharon, Shlomi, Huber, Bernhard A. & Gavish-Regev, Efrat, 2017, Daddy-long-leg giants: revision of the spider genus Artema Walckenaer, 1837 (Araneae, Pholcidae), pp. 1-57 in European Journal of Taxonomy 376 (376) on pages 15-26, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2017.376, http://zenodo.org/record/383854

    Cell-Cell Communication between Malaria-Infected Red Blood Cells via Exosome-like Vesicles

    No full text
    Cell-cell communication is an important mechanism for information exchange promoting cell survival for the control of features such as population density and differentiation. We determined that Plasmodium falciparum-infected red blood cells directly communicate between parasites within a population using exosome-like vesicles that are capable of delivering genes. Importantly, communication via exosome-like vesicles promotes differentiation to sexual forms at a rate that suggests that signaling is involved. Furthermore, we have identified a P. falciparum protein, PfPTP2, that plays a key role in efficient communication. This study reveals a previously unidentified pathway of P. falciparum biology critical for survival in the host and transmission to mosquitoes. This identifies a pathway for the development of agents to block parasite transmission from the human host to the mosquito.Neta Regev-Rudzki, Danny W. Wilson, Teresa G.

    The List-Decoding Size of Fourier-Sparse Boolean Functions

    No full text
    A function defined on the Boolean hypercube is k-Fourier-sparse if it has at most k nonzero Fourier coefficients. For a function f: F_2^n -> R and parameters k and d, we prove a strong upper bound on the number of k-Fourier-sparse Boolean functions that disagree with f on at most d inputs. Our bound implies that the number of uniform and independent random samples needed for learning the class of k-Fourier-sparse Boolean functions on n variables exactly is at most O(n * k * log(k)). As an application, we prove an upper bound on the query complexity of testing Booleanity of Fourier-sparse functions. Our bound is tight up to a logarithmic factor and quadratically improves on a result due to Gur and Tamuz [Chicago J. Theor. Comput. Sci.,2013]

    Lattice problems in NP ∩ coNP

    No full text
    We show that the problems of approximating the shortest and closest vector in a lattice to within a factor of &amp;radic;n lie in NP intersect coNP. The result (almost) subsumes the three mutually-incomparable previous results regarding these lattice problems: Banaszczyk [7], Goldreich and Goldwasser [13], and Aharonov and Regev [2]. Our technique is based on a simple fact regarding succinct approximation of functions using their Fourier transform over the lattice. This technique might be useful elsewhere -- we demonstrate this by giving a simple and efficient algorithm for one other lattice problem (CVPP) improving on a previous result of Regev [25]. An interesting fact is that our result emerged from a &quot;dequantization&quot; of our previous quantum result in [2]. This route to proving purely classical results might be beneficial elsewhere

    Parallel Spooky Pebbling Makes Regev Factoring More Practical

    No full text
    Pebble games, an abstraction from classical reversible computing, have found use in the design of quantum circuits for inherently sequential tasks. Gidney showed that allowing Hadamard basis measurements during pebble games can dramatically improve costs---an extension termed spooky pebble games because the measurements leave temporary phase errors called ghosts. In this work, we define and study parallel spooky pebble games. Previous work by Blocki, Holman, and Lee (TCC 2022) and Gidney studied the benefits offered by either parallelism or spookiness individually; here we show that these resources can yield impressive gains when used together. First, we show by construction that a line graph of length \ell can be pebbled in depth 22\ell (which is exactly optimal) using space 2.47log\leq 2.47\log \ell. Then, to explore pebbling schemes using even less space, we use a highly optimized AA^* search implemented in Julia to find the lowest-depth parallel spooky pebbling possible for a range of concrete line graph lengths \ell given a constant number of pebbles ss. We show that these techniques can be applied to Regev\u27s factoring algorithm (Journal of the ACM 2025) to significantly reduce the cost of its arithmetic. For example, we find that 4096-bit integers NN can be factored in multiplication depth 193, which outperforms the 680 required of previous variants of Regev and the 444 reported by Ekerå and Gärtner for Shor\u27s algorithm (IACR Communications in Cryptology 2025). While space-optimized implementations of Shor\u27s algorithm remain likely the best candidates for first quantum factorization of large integers, our results show that Regev\u27s algorithm may have practical importance in the future, especially given the possibility of further optimization. Finally, we believe our pebbling techniques will find applications in quantum cryptanalysis beyond integer factorization
