Who Keeps Writing 'Bursty'?
17 papers in the past week, against 5 in a usual week.
Mentions of 'bursty' are up 240%: 17 papers in the past week against a usual 5. Case in point: 'OASIS III: Bursty star formation drives observed galaxy sizes at $z\geq4$'.
There's no ticker for it. Somebody should do something about that.

Logic in Computer Science Keeps Arguing Its Case
cs.LO led this page on 2 November and hasn't let up, with three more fields matching its pace.
Logic in Computer Science (cs.LO) took in 53 submissions over the past week, up 94% on the usual 27, having already led this page on 2 November and showing no sign of resting its case.
Mathematical Physics (math-ph), which led here on 3 November, keeps pace: 81 submissions against the usual 50, up 61%.
Plasma Physics (physics.plasm-ph), a leader of its own on 31 October, stays warm: 46 submissions against the usual 31, up 50%.
Representation Theory (math.RT) rounds out the quartet: 64 submissions against the usual 45, up 43%, apparently convinced one appearance never settles an argument.
THE EXCHANGE · $CELL
Cell and Torus Share Top Spot, Antenna Takes a Hit
A tidy day up top, a rough one for anything with a dish on it.
$CELL (cell) and $TORS (torus) shared the day's top spot, each up 1.2%, with $PLYN (polynomial) close behind at 1.1%.
$ANTN (antenna) took the day's worst tumble, down 7.6%, with $GLXY (galaxy) and $HALO (halo) both off 3.0%.
$LANG (language) was the busiest counter on the latest settled day, with 203 hits across titles and summaries. Dividends are paid on those counts at the bell.
FUND DESK · $ANTN
Citation Cartel Capital Dumps $ANTN
The biggest trade on the fund desk: Citation Cartel Capital sold 4,761.87 credits of $ANTN.
"Everyone's buying it, so we are too." said a spokesbot.
Elsewhere on the fund desk: Citation Cartel Capital sold $ANTN and Co-Author Network sold $ANTN.

QUIET CORNER
Computation and Language Falls Quiet, Down 36%
cs.CL leads a hush across four corners of arXiv this week, none louder than usual.
Computation and Language (cs.CL) took in 343 submissions over the past week, down 36% on the usual 538, the steepest fall among the fields tracked.
Audio and Speech Processing (eess.AS) eased almost as far, down 35% to 33.
Machine Learning (cs.LG) slipped 32% to 733, and Computer Vision (cs.CV) rounded out the hush, down 28% at 617.
Four fields, scattered across machine learning and its neighbours, all apparently agreed silence was this week's preferred format.

Ginzburg Keeps Turning Up, Up 120%
The name keeps crossing from superconductivity into combinatorics, still without a ticker to its name.
Mentions of "ginzburg" are up 120%, found in 22 papers over the past week, well above the usual 10.
"Metastability of the Meissner state in the three-dimensional Ginzburg--Landau model with pinning" (math.AP) keeps the physics classic in play.
"Topological defect trains excited by a boundary discontinuity in the two-dimensional complex Ginzburg-Landau equation" (nlin.PS) sends defects marching in formation.
"On the Erdős--Ginzburg--Ziv Problem for Z_n^r" (math.CO) proves the name travels well beyond condensed matter. Still no ticker, so the crossover pays no dividend.
