Tight Bound for Online Vertex Cover under Edge Arrivals

Prior state unknownproved

What is the optimal competitive ratio for online vertex cover when edges arrive one at a time? The paper proves a tight factor-2 lower bound via a reduction in the blueprint framework of Assadi, Jiang and Xiang, closing the gap left by prior work.

The Arborescence-Sampling Barrier for Eulerian Tours

Prior state unknownproved

Sampling a nearly uniform Eulerian tour of a directed Eulerian multigraph was stuck at mnmn-type running times coming from arborescence sampling. A randomized algorithm achieves O~(m3/2)\widetilde{O}(m^{3/2}) worst case, breaking that barrier on sparse graphs.

Strong Convergence of Cesaro Means of Firmly Nonexpansive Iterates

Prior state unknowndisproved

Iterates of a firmly nonexpansive operator converge weakly but not strongly, by Genel and Lindenstrauss. Whether their Cesaro means converge strongly was open. They need not: an explicit curve gives a counterexample.

Ehrhart Positivity of Schubitopes

Prior state unknowndisproved

Monical, Tokcan and Yong conjectured that Schubitopes, the generalized permutahedra arising as Newton polytopes of Schubert polynomials and of Demazure characters of GLn\mathrm{GL}_n, are Ehrhart positive. Disproved by an explicit Schubitope whose Ehrhart polynomial has a negative coefficient in its monomial expansion.

Counterexample to the Odd-Dimensional Rank Bound for Abelian p-Group Actions

Stable Phase Retrieval for Spans of Independent Random Variables

Prior state unknownproved

After L2L^2 normalization, stable phase retrieval holds over the L2L^2-spans of independent real-valued centered random variables exactly when all but possibly one coordinate satisfies a uniform two-sided L1L^1 bound. This confirms the characterization conjectured by Calderbank, Daubechies, Freeman and Freeman.

Monical's Saturated Newton Polytope Conjecture

If a chromatic symmetric function is Schur positive, must every finite-variable specialization XG(x1,,xk)X_G(x_1, \dots, x_k) have a saturated Newton polytope? A 1212-vertex bipartite graph realizes weights (6,6,0)(6,6,0) and (8,2,2)(8,2,2) but omits their midpoint (7,4,1)(7,4,1).

Brualdi's Question on Hamiltonicity of Interchange Graphs

Prior state unknownproved

The interchange graph G(R,S)G(R,S) has the (0,1)(0,1)-matrices with row sums RR and column sums SS as vertices, adjacent when they differ by a single 2×22\times 2 interchange. Brualdi asked whether G(R,S)G(R,S) is always Hamiltonian. It satisfies more: it is maximally Hamiltonian, Hamilton-laceable when bipartite and Hamilton-connected when not.

North-East Lattice Paths with Few Collinear Vertices

Prior state unknownproved

Both bounds move, and the gap stays enormous: the lower bound rises from exp(Ω(log2k))\exp(\Omega(\log^2 k)) to exp(Ω(k1/3))\exp(\Omega(k^{1/3})) and the upper falls from exp(O(k4))\exp(O(k^4)) to exp(O(k2))\exp(O(k^2)), so A(k)A(k) is still undetermined between an exponent of k1/3k^{1/3} and one of k2k^2. The paper's own closing discussion argues its lower-bound construction is near the limit of the method and that beating it needs additional randomness,…

Baker asked, as recorded by Poonen, whether a fixed smooth quasiprojective variety over a finite field must acquire a smooth rational hyperplane section after every sufficiently high-dimensional linearly nondegenerate embedding.

The Quartic Hessian Conjecture in Dimension Four

The Hessian conjecture HCnHC_n asks whether every polynomial ff with detHess(f)C×\det \mathrm{Hess}(f) \in \mathbb{C}^\times has a polynomial gradient inverse. It is known for n3n \le 3, false for n5n \ge 5, and open exactly in dimension four, where it implies the plane Jacobian conjecture. Proved for every quartic polynomial in dimension four: the quartic case reduces to f=P(x1,x2,x3)+x4Q(x1,x2,x3)+ax42f = P(x_1,x_2,x_3) + x_4 Q(x_1,x_2,x_3) + a x_4^2 wi…
