Rook placements in $G_2$ and $F_4$ and associated coadjoint orbits
Let $\mathfrak{n}$ be a maximal nilpotent subalgebra of a simple complex Lie algebra with root system $\Phi$. A subset $D$ of the set $\Phi^+$ of positive roots is called a rook placement if it consists of roots with pairwise non-positive scalar products. To each rook placement $D$ and each map $\xi$ from $D$ to the set $\mathbb{C}^{\times}$ of nonzero complex numbers one can naturally assign the coadjoint orbit $\Omega_{D,\xi}$ in the dual space $\mathfrak{n}^*$. By definition, $\Omega_{D,\xi}$ is the orbit of $f_{D,\xi}$, where $f_{D,\xi}$ is the sum of root covectors $e_{\alpha}^*$ multiplied by $\xi(\alpha)$, $\alpha\in D$. (In fact, almost all coadjoint orbits studied at the moment have such a form for certain $D$ and $\xi$.) It follows from the results of Andr\`e that if $\xi_1$ and $\xi_2$ are distinct maps from $D$ to $\mathbb{C}^{\times}$ then $\Omega_{D,\xi_1}$ and $\Omega_{D,\xi_2}$ do not coincide for classical root systems $\Phi$. We prove that this is true if $\Phi$ is of type $G_2$, or if $\Phi$ is of type $F_4$ and $D$ is orthogonal.

Cyclicity of the 2-class group of the first Hilbert 2-class field of some number fields
Let $\mathds{k}$ be a real quadratic number field. Denote by $\mathrm{Cl}_2(\mathds{k})$ its $2$-class group and by $\mathds{k}_2^{(1)}$ (resp. $\mathds{k}_2^{(2)}$) its first (resp. second) Hilbert $2$-class field. The aim of this paper is to study, for a real quadratic number field whose discriminant is divisible by one prime number congruent to $3$ modulo 4, the metacyclicity of $G=\mathrm{Gal}(\mathds{k}_2^{(2)}/\mathds{k})$ and the cyclicity of $\mathrm{Gal}(\mathds{k}_2^{(2)}/\mathds{k}_2^{(1)})$ whenever the rank of $\mathrm{Cl}_2(\mathds{k})$ is $2$, and the $4$-rank of $\mathrm{Cl}_2(\mathds{k})$ is $1$.

Can a Catholic be Liberal? Roman Catholicism and Liberalism in a Political Economy Perspective (1800–1970)
The philosophy of the Enlightenment and political thought of modernity found tough opposition in the Roman Catholic Church. Liberalism was associated with Free Masons and revolutionary intent. Nonetheless, liberalism and political economy stimulated some theoretical analysis and specific theoretical positions in terms of social philosophy and social economics by the Church. This paper presents an analysis of encyclical letters and other papal documents, as well as the writings of other Catholic scholars, to elaborate on the theoretical points used to contrast liberalism. Compromises, as well as turning points in the evolution of the Catholic position, are investigated. Lastly, the epistemological and historical reasons for the affinity of Roman Catholicism with ethical liberalism and the limits of this similarity are discussed. 1.

A Robust Version of Hegedűs's Lemma, with Applications
Heged\H{u}s's lemma is the following combinatorial statement regarding polynomials over finite fields. Over a field $\mathbb{F}$ of characteristic $p > 0$ and for $q$ a power of $p$, the lemma says that any multilinear polynomial $P\in \mathbb{F}[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ of degree less than $q$ that vanishes at all points in $\{0,1\}^n$ of some fixed Hamming weight $k\in [q,n-q]$ must also vanish at all points in $\{0,1\}^n$ of weight $k + q$. This lemma was used by Heged\H{u}s (2009) to give a solution to \emph{Galvin's problem}, an extremal problem about set systems; by Alon, Kumar and Volk (2018) to improve the best-known multilinear circuit lower bounds; and by Hrube\v{s}, Ramamoorthy, Rao and Yehudayoff (2019) to prove optimal lower bounds against depth-$2$ threshold circuits for computing some symmetric functions. In this paper, we formulate a robust version of Heged\H{u}s's lemma. Informally, this version says that if a polynomial of degree $o(q)$ vanishes at most points of weight $k$, then it vanishes at many points of weight $k+q$. We prove this lemma and give three different applications.

Fast Symbolic Algorithms for Omega-Regular Games under Strong Transition Fairness
We consider fixpoint algorithms for two-player games on graphs with $\omega$-regular winning conditions, where the environment is constrained by a strong transition fairness assumption. Strong transition fairness is a widely occurring special case of strong fairness, which requires that any execution is strongly fair with respect to a specified set of live edges: whenever the source vertex of a live edge is visited infinitely often along a play, the edge itself is traversed infinitely often along the play as well. We show that, surprisingly, strong transition fairness retains the algorithmic characteristics of the fixpoint algorithms for $\omega$-regular games -- the new algorithms have the same alternation depth as the classical algorithms but invoke a new type of predecessor operator. For Rabin games with $k$ pairs, the complexity of the new algorithm is $O(n^{k+2}k!)$ symbolic steps, which is independent of the number of live edges in the strong transition fairness assumption. Further, we show that GR(1) specifications with strong transition fairness assumptions can be solved with a 3-nested fixpoint algorithm, same as the usual algorithm. In contrast, strong fairness necessarily requires increasing the alternation depth depending on the number of fairness assumptions. We get symbolic algorithms for (generalized) Rabin, parity and GR(1) objectives under strong transition fairness assumptions as well as a direct symbolic algorithm for qualitative winning in stochastic $\omega$-regular games that runs in $O(n^{k+2}k!)$ symbolic steps, improving the state of the art. Finally, we have implemented a BDD-based synthesis engine based on our algorithm. We show on a set of synthetic and real benchmarks that our algorithm is scalable, parallelizable, and outperforms previous algorithms by orders of magnitude.
