Semi-analytical formulas for the Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram
The absolute visual magnitude as function of the observed colour (B-V), also named Hertzsprung-Russell diagram can be described through five equations; that in presence of calibrated stars means eight constants. The developed framework allows to deduce the remaining physical parameters that are mass, radius and luminosity. This new technique is applied to the first 10 pc, the first 50 pc, the Hyades and to the determination of the distance of a cluster. The case of the white dwarfs is analysed assuming the absence of calibrated data: our equation produces a smaller $\chi^2$ in respect to the standard colour-magnitude calibration when applied to the Villanova Catalog of Spectroscopically Identified White Dwarfs. The theoretical basis of the formulae for the colours and the bolometric correction of the stars are clarified through a Taylor expansion in the temperature of the Planck distribution.

SPT: Spectral Transformer for Red Giant Stars Age and Mass Estimation
The age and mass of red giants are essential for understanding the structure and evolution of the Milky Way. Traditional isochrone methods for these estimations are inherently limited due to overlapping isochrones in the…

We give a pragmatic/pedagogical discussion of using Euclidean path integral in asset pricing. We then illustrate the path integral approach on short-rate models. By understanding the change of path integral measure in th…
Matrix differentiation with diagrammatic notation
We propose a diagrammatic notation for matrix differentiation. Our new notation enables us to derive formulas for matrix differentiation more easily than the usual matrix (or index) notation. We demonstrate the effective…
