Beyond Distortion: Smarter Tree Embeddings for Better Metrics
![The algorithm strategically merges hierarchical subtree structures, prioritizing least common ancestors to maintain distance relationships; specifically, the least common ancestor of merged nodes reflects the higher ancestral position within the original trees, ensuring that the output embedding distance [latex]d\_{\alpha}(x,y)[/latex] is greater than or equal to the maximum of the individual subtree distances [latex]d\_{\alpha\_{1}}(u,x)[/latex] and [latex]d\_{\alpha\_{2}}(u,y)[/latex], thus preserving structural integrity during the merge process.](https://arxiv.org/html/2601.15470v1/x1.png)
New algorithms refine metric embedding techniques by intelligently handling outlier data, leading to improved approximations in hierarchical tree structures.

Precision Predictions for B-Meson Decay
![The study demonstrates a precise correspondence between Next-to-Next-to-Leading Order (NNLO) differential decay distributions in [latex]b \to X_u \ell \bar{\nu}[/latex] and those derived from fitted [latex]W_i^{(2)}[/latex] distributions, with the analytic results for the [latex]\hat{q}^2[/latex] distribution serving as a foundational element for the fitting procedure.](https://arxiv.org/html/2601.15447v1/x15.png)
New calculations refine our understanding of how B mesons decay into leptons, improving the accuracy of tests for new physics.

Smoothing the Path to Penrose: A New Approach to Spacetime Geometry
![Within a spherically symmetric conformal flow, the Jang slope [latex]Q(r)[/latex] increases monotonically from zero at the horizon, approaching a limiting value of one only asymptotically-a behavior that avoids the finite radius breakdown observed in the Jang/zero divergence system.](https://arxiv.org/html/2601.15359v1/x3.png)
Numerical simulations suggest a novel coupling of the Jang equation with conformal flows overcomes limitations in proving the Penrose inequality, a longstanding problem in general relativity.
