Galilean boost invariance does not survive the trace: symmetry breaking in open quantum systems

Leonardo F. Calderon, Esteban Marulanda, Santiago Morales, Leonardo A. Pachon · 2026

Tracing out a Galilean-invariant Caldeira-Leggett environment breaks Galilean boost covariance of the reduced dynamics, while spatial translations and rotations survive intact. An operator-level analy…

Beyond the Mean: Within-Model Reliable Change Detection for LLM Evaluation

Jon-Paul Cacioli · 2026

We adapted the Reliable Change Index (RCI; Jacobson and Truax, 1991) from clinical psychology to item-level LLM version comparison on 2,000 MMLU-Pro items (K=10 samples at T=0.7). Two within-family pa…

Instruction Complexity Induces Positional Collapse in Adversarial LLM Evaluation

Jon-Paul Cacioli · 2026

When instructed to underperform on multiple-choice evaluations, do language models engage with question content or fall back on positional shortcuts? We map the boundary between these regimes using a …

Weakly, sufficiently or strongly localized operators on the Fock space in \mathh C^n

David Bekolle, Solange B. Difo, Hugues O. Defo, Edgar L. Tchoundja · 2026

We study properties of the following four classes of operators on the Fock space in $\mathbb C^n:$ 1) weakly localized operators; 2) sufficiently localized operators in the sense of Xia and Zheng; 3) …

Option-Order Randomisation Reveals a Distributional Position Attractor in Prompted Sandbagging

Jon-Paul Cacioli · 2026

A predecessor pilot (Cacioli, 2026) found that Llama-3-8B implements prompted sandbagging as positional collapse rather than answer avoidance. However, fixed option ordering in MMLU-Pro left open whet…

Fast radio burst dispersion is an unbiased tracer of matter on large scales

Shion Andrew, Haochen Wang, Kiyoshi Masui, Josh Borrow, Calvin Leung, Ryan Raikman, Matthieu Schaller, Joop Schaye, James M. Sullivan · 2026

The dispersion of fast radio bursts (FRBs) measures the column density of free electrons, tracing the diffuse ionized gas that contains more than $90\%$ of all baryons. On linear scales the FRB disper…

Below-Chance Blindness: Prompted Underperformance in Small LLMs Produces Positional Bias Rather than Answer Avoidance

Jon-Paul Cacioli · 2026

Detecting sandbagging--the deliberate underperformance on capability evaluations--is an open problem in AI safety. We tested whether symptom validity testing (SVT) logic from clinical malingering dete…

The minimum number of detours in a connected graph of minimum degree three

Xining Liu, Pu Qiao, Xingzhi Zhan · 2026

A longest path in a graph is called a detour. Denote by $a(k,n)$ the minimum number of detours in a connected graph with minimum degree $k$ and order $n,$ and denote by $b(k,n)$ the minimum odd number…

Distilling Self-Consistency into Verbal Confidence: A Pre-Registered Negative Result and Post-Hoc Rescue on Gemma 3 4B

Jon-Paul Cacioli · 2026

Small instruct-tuned LLMs produce degenerate verbal confidence under minimal elicitation: ceiling rates above 95%, near-chance Type-2 AUROC, and Invalid validity profiles. We test whether confidence-c…

Coverage-Based Calibration for Post-Training Quantization via Weighted Set Cover over Outlier Channels

Ibne Farabi Shihab, Sanjeda Akter, Anuj Sharma · 2026

Post-Training Quantization (PTQ) compresses large language models to low bit-widths using a small calibration set, and its quality depends strongly on which samples are chosen. We identify a failure m…
