specialist registry · passed

Independently recomputed by this site on 21 August 2026 from the paper's own data (arXiv:2608.13025v1), at 60-digit precision: $\beta$ is the unique root of the stated cubic in the stated bracket, on which the cubic is monotone; the matrix is doubly stochastic and nonnegative; its 19-entry support is nearly decomposable, being fully indecomposable while the removal of any single support entry destroys that; the permanent agrees with the paper's closed form to 1e-61; the cofactor gap agrees with its closed form to 4e-61 and exceeds the claimed 2047/240100; and the prescribed zero is not a tie point, with exactly one witnessing support entry. The conjecture's hypothesis also holds: the face is four-dimensional, and a 6561-point grid plus 61 local descents found nothing on it with a smaller permanent. Still a days-old preprint with no independent review, hence a candidate.
