Large systoles in every sufficiently large genus

Prior state unknownproved

The theorem improves the best lower bound valid in *every* sufficiently large genus from asymptotic constant $2/9$ to $1$. The every-genus ladder it climbs is Katz-Sabourau's $19/120$ and then Liu-Petri's $2/9$, the latter also by a random construction. Constant $1$ was already reached by Petri-Walker along a subsequence of genera, following Erdos-Sachs, so the new contribution is achieving it uniformly rather tha…

Failure of Higher-Order Truth within Intuitionistic Propositional Logic

Prior state unknowndisproved

The paper proves that not every Heyting algebra can occur as the lattice of subterminal objects of an elementary topos. Specifically, the free Heyting algebra $F_2$ on two generators cannot occur. Using Bellissima’s representation $F_2\hookrightarrow\mathcal O_\uparrow(K_2)$, the authors construct an upward-closed subset $A\subseteq K_2$ with $A\notin F_2$. They show that if some elementary topos $\mathcal E$ sat…

Supporting affine functionals for Entanglement of Formation

Prior state unknowndisproved

For two qubits, the paper considers $\rho=\frac12|\Phi^+\rangle\langle\Phi^+|+\frac12|01\rangle\langle01|$, where $|\Phi^+\rangle=(|00\rangle+|11\rangle)/\sqrt2$. This rank-2 state has no global supporting affine functional for Entanglement of Formation. Setting $\rho_t=(1-t)\rho+t|10\rangle\langle10|$, Wootters’ formula gives $C(\rho_t)=\frac12-\sqrt{2t}+O(t)$. Consequently, $\lim_{t\to0^+}[E_F(\rho)-E_F(\r…

Rapid mixing for spin systems on graphs of girth at least five

Prior state unknownproved

For fixed $\delta\in(0,1)$ and all sufficiently large $\Delta$ depending only on $\delta$, Glauber dynamics for proper $q$-colorings mixes rapidly on every graph of girth at least $5$ whenever $q\ge(1+\delta)\Delta$: spectral gap $\Omega_\delta(1/n)$ and $t_{\mathrm{mix}}(\varepsilon)=O_\delta(n^2\log q+n\log(1/\varepsilon))$. An analogous theorem holds for the anti-ferromagnetic Potts model at $q\ge(1+\delta)(1-\…

An Exact All-Width Plateau for the Three-Summand Tu-Deng Count modulo $2^k-1$

Answered in full: for every $k\ge4$, a target with exactly two nonadjacent zero digits has $F_k(t)=(k+23)3^{k-4}$, independently of the distance between the zeros. Exact at every width, no error term, no hypothesis on $k$ (Theorem 1.1). This is an evaluation, not an extremal result, and the paper is explicit about the difference: the plateau value is not maximal. At $k=12$ it reads $35\cdot3^8=229{,}635$ while $F_…

It holds both in a fixed dyadic lattice (Theorem 2.6, constants independent of the ambient dimension) and for arbitrary cubes (Theorem 3.4), via a randomization of the good part of the form.

If $f(n)$ is the maximum total side length of $n$ interior-disjoint squares packed in the unit square, is $f(k^2 + 1) = k$? An exact rational configuration packs $17$ squares with total side length greater than $4$, refuting the identity at $k = 4$.

Counterexamples to the xz-Conjecture and the Mathieu Conjecture for SU(2)

Prior state unknowndisproved

For the integral $\mathcal{I}(h)$ over the unit interval and the torus, the paper gives the three-term Laurent polynomial $f(x,z)=(1-z^{-1})((1-x)+xz)$ with $\mathcal{I}(f^n)=0$ but $\mathcal{I}(z^{-1}f^n)=(-1)^{n-1}/(n+1)\neq0$. This disproves the $xz$-conjecture with one interval and one torus variable, shows $\ker\mathcal{I}$ is not a Mathieu–Zhao subspace, and by padding yields counterexamples for SU(2).

The near-quadratic Elekes-Ronyai expander conjecture over $\mathbb{R}$ predicts that a nonspecial polynomial expands any finite set to near-quadratic size. False: a fixed nonspecial quadratic polynomial, together with arbitrarily large finite sets of real algebraic integers, has image with a fixed power saving from quadratic size.

In the Frankl-Pach-Erdős circle of VC-dimension problems, the first arXiv version of the paper posed the $k=3$ case of a witness construction question. ChatGPT 5.4 Pro answered it; the published construction generalizes the model's response, and the conversation transcript is public.

Chen-Gendron Spin-Parity Identity for k-Differentials

Prior state unknownproved

For odd $k$ with $\gcd(n,k) = \gcd(n+1,k) = 1$, is $N_k(n) \equiv \lfloor (k+1)/4 \rfloor \pmod 2$, where $N_k(n)$ counts pairs $1 \le b_i \le (k-1)/2$ with $b_1 + b_2 \ge (k+1)/2$ and $b_2 \equiv n b_1 \pmod k$? Conjectured by Chen and Gendron; its proof removes a conditional step in the genus-zero and genus-one spin-parity classification.
