arXiv:2606.15542v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The classical theorem of Liv\v{s}ic and Sinai states that a transitive $C^2$ Anosov diffeomorphism whose Jacobian along every periodic orbit equals one admits an invariant volume form. Recently, it was observed that the periodic Jacobian condition alone already implies transitivity, rendering the transitivity assumption unnecessary. We extend this rigidity phenomenon to the non-invertible setting. We prove that if a $C^2$ Anosov endomorphism satisfies the natural periodic Jacobian condition $J(f^n(p)) = \deg(f)^n$ for every periodic point $p,$ such that $f^n(p) = p,$ then the system is automatically transitive and preserves a $C^1$ volume form. As a key ingredient, we establish a $C^1$ version of the Liv\v{s}ic cohomological theorem for hyperbolic endomorphisms.

arXiv:2606.14903v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In this paper we use the Pirogov--Sinai theory to analyze a class of particle models of Statistical Mechanics on the unit triangular lattice $\mathbb{A}_2$. The models are specified by two parameters: the particle activity $u\in(0,1)$ and a positive L\"oschian number $t$ interpreted as a maximal squared clearing radius. Admissible configurations are those in which every empty lattice site has an occupied site within squared distance at most $t$, thereby forbidding empty disks of radius exceeding or equal $t$. The Hamiltonian favors configurations with as few occupied sites as possible, while the admissibility condition enforces a positive density of particles. We prove that the periodic ground states of the model, i.e., the configurations achieving an optimal balance of two tendencies, are the ones whose occupied sites form triangular sublattices of explicitly determined squared side-length $d_*(t)$. Furthermore, for sufficiently small

arXiv:2606.15987v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In this work, we target Handwritten Text Recognition (HTR) in low-resource scenarios, which arise from underrepresented languages, rare scripts, and degraded visual conditions typical of historical documents. We introduce SCAM (Sahidic Coptic Ancient Manuscripts), a new line-level dataset built from digitized ancient manuscripts written in the extinct Sahidic Coptic dialect. The dataset reflects a realistic and challenging setting, as it combines heterogeneous acquisition conditions across libraries with typical manuscript degradations such as ink fading, bleed-through, and material deterioration. In addition to visual complexity, SCAM poses significant linguistic challenges due to the scarcity of resources for Sahidic Coptic, its uncommon alphabet, and dialect-specific diacritics. To support research in low-resource HTR, we benchmark several state-of-the-art approaches based on different paradigms, highlighting their limitations and
