These singularities generate cusps that limit the global regularity of the wave function in spectral Barron spaces, which are particularly relevant to the analysis of Fourier-based approximation methods and neural networks.<br>\r\nIn this talk, we study the effect of extracting a truncated Jastrow factor designed to capture the leading coalescence singularities while preserving the asymptotic behavior of the wave function at infinity. We show that the resulting quotient gains one full order of spectral Barron regularity: whereas the original wave function typically belongs to spaces of order (s<1), the Jastrow quotient belongs to those of order (s<2). An explicit hydrogenic example shows that the threshold (s=2) is natural.<br>\r\nThe proof relies on conjugating the Hamiltonian by the Jastrow factor and carrying out a global Fourier-space analysis. It combines resolvent estimates, precise control of singular coefficients, and a fixed-point argument separating low and high frequencies.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n---<br>\r\nThe electronic structure reading

Just as simple models from decision theory provide context for understanding the decisions of complex humans, so too can they for complex AI systems. Bayesian decision theory considers an agent receiving a signal that is correlated with the state, choosing an action, and obtaining a payoff that depends on both the state and action. With Bayesian updating and the revelation principle, the signal becomes a posterior belief and the decision problem becomes a scoring rule. Given a scoring rule, baseline performance is the optimal score under the prior; benchmark performance is the optimal score under the posterior; and the optimal scoring rule — framed as a mechanism design problem — maximizes the difference between them. The talk reviews this theory and applies it to (a) evaluate prediction as a service, (b) behavioral experiments on human-AI decision making, (c) develop proper scoring rules for text (e.g. for training language models to hallucinate less).<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Short bio:</strong><br>\r\nProf. Hartline’s research introduces design and analysis methodologies from computer science to understand and improve outcomes of economic, legal, and AI systems. Optimal behavior and outcomes in complex environments are complex and, therefore, should not be expected; instead, the theory of approximation can show that simple and natural behaviors are approximately optimal in complex environments. This approach is applied to auction theory and mechanism design in his graduate textbook Mechanism Design and Approximation which is under preparation.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nProf. Hartline received his Ph.D. in 2003 from the University of Washington under the supervision of Anna Karlin. He was a postdoctoral fellow at Carnegie Mellon University under the supervision of Avrim Blum; and subsequently a researcher at Microsoft Research in Silicon Valley. He joined Northwestern University in 2008 where he is a professor of computer science. He was on sabbatical at Harvard University in the Economics Department during the 2014 calendar year and visiting Microsoft Research, New England for the Spring of 2015. He was on sabbatical at Stanford University for the 2023-2024 academic year.

These receptors are essential to critical functions such as metabolism, immune regulation, neuronal signaling, and sensory perception - including vision and olfaction. Due to their physiological relevance and membrane accessibility, GPCRs are the targets of approximately 34% of all prescribed medications, accounting for nearly 27% of the global pharmaceutical market [3]. <br>\r\nDespite their pharmaceutical importance, key aspects of GPCR function remain elusive. The canonical activation model posits that agonist binding to the extracellular orthosteric site triggers allosteric changes - most notably, the outward displacement of transmembrane helices 5 (TM5) and 6 (TM6) on the intracellular side - ultimately leading to receptor activation [2-4]. However, recent evidence suggests a more nuanced mechanism. In several GPCRs, activation appears to involve cooperative engagement between the agonist and the G protein. For example, the G protein may disrupt an \"inactivating ionic lock\" - a salt bridge between TM3 and TM6 - while the agonist stabilizes the active conformation. In some receptors, this is complemented by the formation of an “activating ionic lock” between TM5 and TM6 [5-8]. These dual contributions are considered thermodynamically essential for full activation [7].<br>\r\nAdding further complexity, GPCR activity is regulated by conformational microswitches and finely tuned intra-protein interaction networks. These dynamic rearrangements are difficult to capture and often elude direct correlation with functional outcomes. Moreover, allosteric ligands - which bind sites distinct from the orthosteric pocket - are being increasingly identified [9-12], along with small molecules capable of biased signaling, i.e., preferential activation of specific intracellular pathways [11-13, 16, 17]. These findings reveal a rich and underexplored conformational landscape that governs GPCR signaling. In addition, native membrane components—such as lipids and interacting proteins, including GPCR oligomers—are known to significantly modulate receptor function [11, 18-22].<br>\r\nTo disentangle these intricacies, computational modeling has become indispensable, offering atomistic insight into GPCR conformational dynamics and mechanistic understanding [1-2, 7, 11, 14, 16–21, 23]. Nevertheless, key questions remain - particularly regarding the structural basis of biased signaling, strategies for leveraging allosteric networks in pharmacology, and the modulatory role of the lipid environment. Addressing these gaps is crucial for both fundamental biology and the rational design of next-generation GPCR-targeting drugs with improved selectivity and safety profiles. <br>\r\nThese scientific challenges form the foundation of our upcoming workshop, which will focus on the latest experimental and computational approaches for studying the functional dynamics of GPCRs. Given the profound health, economic, and societal implications of modulating these receptors with precision, we aim to strengthen the interdisciplinary nature of the event by increasing the representation of experimental research and integrating cutting-edge artificial intelligence applications into the program.<br>\r\nBuilding upon the success of the 2022 and 2024 editions - which led to new collaborations and a landmark publication in <em>Nature Reviews Drug Discovery</em> [24] - our goal is to further enhance communication and collaboration between experimentalists and theoreticians. The workshop will serve as a reference point for young scientists and students, offering a platform to interact with leading international experts. We are confident that this initiative will foster insightful discussions and contribute meaningfully to advancing the field of GPCR pharmacology.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>References</strong><br>\r\n<br>\r\n<a href=\"https://doi.org/10.1038/nrd.2017.229\" target=\"_blank\">[1] J.
