arXiv:2606.02464v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study admission control to an unobservable M/M/1 queue. A memoryless controller can only randomly thin arrivals (random routing, RR). We show that a gated admission (GA) policy, blocking arrivals for a fixed period after each admission, stochastically dominates RR at equal throughput, improving social welfare under any sojourn-based cost. We characterize the welfare-maximizing threshold an..

arXiv:2606.02468v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In this thesis we present the combinatorial game theory of the game Rex+. Rex+ is a variant of the game Hex, played on a four sided board made out of hexagons. Both players take turns placing as many stones of their colour as they would like on the board, with the objective being to force the other player to connect their two sides. We describe a new ordering, and present some preliminary res..

arXiv:2606.02469v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper introduces the L-shaped refinement chain cuts method, a novel approach for solving two-stage stochastic programs. The proposed method integrates the refinement chain of scenarios within the classical L-shaped decomposition framework. In the proposed approach, the full scenario set is partitioned into subgroups at each level of the refinement chain, and one subproblem is solved for ....

arXiv:2606.02471v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Using our new notion of folding shuffle algebras, we prove a conjecture of Hernandez on the equality between certain $q$-characters of quantum untwisted affine algebra modules and their twisted counterparts. We generalize this result to the setting of arbitrary quivers with automorphisms, in particular by defining and describing twisted quantum toroidal algebras.

arXiv:2606.02472v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We introduce and study a new model of correlated uniform attachment (UA) trees, where correlation is sprinkled throughout the time evolution of the process. In this model, two UA trees are grown in parallel, and at each time step a new node is added to each tree, with an edge between it and a uniformly chosen existing vertex in the respective tree. The two choices of attachment are correlated....

arXiv:2606.02475v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Classical finite-difference solvers remain reliable tools for partial differential equations, but their efficiency depends on where mesh resolution is placed. Uniform refinement can waste degrees of freedom when solution difficulty is localised near sharp gradients, fronts, oscillations, or constraint-sensitive regions. This paper studies a hybrid strategy in which a physics-informed neural n....

arXiv:2606.02477v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In the representation theory of Lorentzian orthogonal groups there are well known arguments as to why the parity operator $\mathcal{P}$ and the time reversal operator $\mathcal{T}$ should be realized as linear and anti-linear operators respectively (Wigner 1932). In this paper it is shown that the only operators satisfying the requisite properties for the spinor representation of the de Sitte..

arXiv:2606.02478v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A regular clock map is a regular map of directed spaces from a saturated directed space to the directed circle. We prove that the category of regular clock maps is a small-orthogonality class of the category of clock maps. Hence it is locally presentable. Any geometric realization of precubical sets and of transverse sets gives rise to a regular clock map. Finally, we prove that for the under..

arXiv:2606.02495v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Switched systems are a family of dynamical systems where a switching rule indicates which system is "switched on". This rule can be dependent on time and/or position in the state space. Stability of switched systems is a property that is often investigated using the existence of one (or multiple) Lyapunov function(s). We develop an algorithm using a scattered approximation method to construct..

arXiv:2606.02496v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We introduce the notion of timelike ideal boundary of a Lorentzian length space as the set of asymptotic classes of future or past-directed timelike geodesic rays, a construction complementary to the causal boundary in the sense of Geroch-Kronheimer-Penrose and akin to the concept of ideal boundary of a metric space. We endow such a timelike ideal boundary with a natural cone topology and an ..

arXiv:2606.02513v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We provide a classification of neighborly Murai spheres, which implies that all of them are polytopal. Furthermore, we show that each neighborly $d$-sphere with no more than $d+4$ vertices is combinatorially equivalent to a Murai sphere for any $d\geq 1$.

arXiv:2606.02517v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study the flow of an isothermal compressible Newtonian fluid around a body that performs a (time-independent) rigid motion. We derive a weak-strong uniqueness principle, and show that in the low Mach number limit, the governing equation is well approximated by the Navier-Stokes equations for incompressible rotating flow. Both results are based on the derivation of a relative energy inequal..

arXiv:2606.02525v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In the first part of our paper we give an abstract characterization of matrix convex sets, and compact matrix convex sets. We also extend the real case of this for classical sets (due to Marshall Stone and others) to the complex case. Our approach is in some part via a universal Banach space (resp.\ operator space $X_K$ of an abstract compact convex set (resp.\ matrix convex set) $K$. This tu....

arXiv:2606.02529v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Incentive design studies how a central authority can influence strategic agents through payments, subsidies, or taxes, so that individual objectives align with collective welfare. This paper introduces a No-Regret Adaptive Incentive Design (RAID) framework for nonlinear games with continuous action spaces and private agent costs. In this framework, the authority (planner) designs incentives t....

arXiv:2606.02541v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: For $k$ sufficiently large, we show that there is a three-coloring of the first $2^{k (\log^* k)/4}$ positive integers without any monochromatic $k$-term arithmetic progressions. Thus, the three-color van der Waerden number $w(k;3)$ grows faster than any exponential in $k$. We further prove a new lower bound on multicolor van der Waerden numbers which resolves a problem of Erd\H{o}s and Graha..

arXiv:2606.02546v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Given $k$-uniform hypergraphs $G$ and $H$, we say that $G$ is a unique subhypergraph of $H$ if $H$ contains exactly one subhypergraph isomorphic to $G$. For an $n$-vertex $k$-graph $H$, let $f_k(H)$ be the number of non-isomorphic unique subhypergraphs of $H$, normalized by $2^{\binom n k}/n!$, and let $f_k(n)$ be the maximum of $f_k(H)$ over all $n$-vertex $k$-graphs $H$. In the graph case $....

arXiv:2606.02561v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study pure unital completely positive maps on the finite Toeplitz operator system $ T_{d}$ of $d \times d$ Toeplitz matrices. Our first main result gives an explicit characterization of pure UCP maps from $T_{d}$ to $M_n$ in terms of positive $n\times n$ matrix-valued trigonometric polynomials of degree at most $d-1$. This characterization provides a checkable criterion for deciding when a..

arXiv:2606.02567v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We show that for any set of $n$ unit vectors $v_1,\ldots,v_n$ in a real Hilbert space and positive numbers $p_1,\ldots,p_n$ satisfying $\sum_j p_j = 1$, there exists a unit vector $u$ such that \[ \sum_{j=1}^n \frac{p_j^2}{\langle v_j, u\rangle^2}\leq 1. \] This inequality is a weighted version of the strong polarization inequality. As immediate corollaries, it yields a polarization inequ..

arXiv:2606.02570v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study stochastic completeness for landmark spaces equipped with Riemannian metrics induced by right-invariant metrics on subgroups of the diffeomorphism group of the shape domain. We extend a previous stochastic completeness result, which only covers the case of exactly two landmarks, to landmark spaces with any number of landmarks. This succeeds the characterization of geodesic completene....

arXiv:2605.28052v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We analyze a stochastic 5-neighbor cellular automaton with several conserved quantities, including the particle density. By examining the eigenvalue problem of the associated transition matrix, we derive an explicit formula for the stationary distribution on each irreducible component, in which the weight of each configuration is expressed in terms of the numbers of occurrences of two speci..

arXiv:2605.28496v2 Announce Type: cross Abstract: For any positive integer $n$, the author previously constructed several minimal simplicial $n$-complexes which necessarily contain a non-splittable two-component link, consisting of an $(n-1)$-sphere and an $n$-sphere, in any embedding into $\mathbb{R}^{2n}$. In this paper, we present an additional simplicial $n$-complex with the same property.

arXiv:2605.28952v2 Announce Type: cross Abstract: E-values have attracted considerable interest in recent years as flexible tools for enabling anytime-valid and adaptive data analysis. Hypothesis testing is at the core of many of these applications, which can often involve private or sensitive data. In this work, we answer a simple but important question: given two distributions $\mathbb{P}$ and $\mathbb{Q}$, what is the maximum achievable....

arXiv:2605.30797v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We revisit the shifted-tree decomposition formula proposed in our previous work arXiv:2410.17192 for two-site cosmological wavefunction coefficients. For the two-site bubble-like family at arbitrary loop order, we show that the nontrivial central part of the decomposition reduces to an alternating subset sum over shifted diagonal divisors. This subset sum is naturally organized by the Boole....


arXiv:2605.31169v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This paper studies sum-of-squares (SoS) representations of nonnegative polynomials over the hypercube $[0,1]^n$. De Klerk and Laurent (SIAM J. Optim., 2010) conjectured that the smallest constant $C_n$ such that the polynomial $x_1\cdots x_n +C_n$ is contained in the degree-$n$ truncated quadratic module $M_{n,n}(x_1-x_1^2,\ldots,x_n-x_n^2)$ of the hypercube is $C_n=1/(n(n+2))$, for $n$ eve..

arXiv:2606.00055v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Tensor train (TT) methods have recently gained popularity for accelerating the solving of systems of PDEs. Here, we evaluate the performance of TT methods in the context of geophysical fluid dynamics (GFD) using the shallow water equations and a discretization scheme employed by the ocean component of the Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SM). Through a suite of four test cases of incre..

arXiv:2606.00063v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Systems moving in low Reynolds number fluid regimes are known to be governed by a ``motility map'' which linearly relates their shape change rates to they body frame velocity moving through the fluid. A consequence of this is ``Purcell's Scallop Theorem'' -- a locomotion system that undergoes shape changes that follow the same path forward and backward in time (reciprocal body deformations)....

arXiv:2606.00102v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Over the centuries, probability theory has grown from the calculus of games of chance into a central framework for reasoning under uncertainty. This article interprets that evolution not merely as a mathematical history, but as a transformation of rationality itself. From Pascal and Fermat's combinatorial symmetry to the inductive logic of Bayes and Laplace, from Poisson's statistics of eve....

arXiv:2606.00114v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Image semantic communication is a critical component in next-generation wireless communication systems. However, such systems typically suffer from large memory footprints and high computational complexity, making them difficult to deploy on resource-constrained devices. To address these challenges, we propose a vision transformer (ViT)-enabled image semantic communication system. In this s....

arXiv:2606.00122v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We approach image denoising from a perception-driven perspective: how can we select the parameters that are best suited for human visual perception? We combine research methods in mathematics and psychology to develop a mathematical framework for measuring perceived similarity. We construct a sample set of differently denoised photographs by using the same base image as input data and by tu..

arXiv:2606.00127v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In the setting of multi-head finite-state dimensions, trailing heads lag behind a leading head, accessing past data to aid a finite-state gambler placing bets on successive bits read by the leading head. Cruz, Glashausser, Li, and Lutz (2026) proved that, for any fixed number of trailing heads, adaptive (data-dependent) movement rules can strictly outperform oblivious (data-independent) mov..

arXiv:2606.00157v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We consider establishing the interpretability theory of deep learning through constructing a corresponding relationship between the renormalization group (RG) method in statistical physics and the training process of deep neural networks (DNNs). We have proved the constructed relationship using the one-dimensional Ising model as the input data. In this paper we generalize our results to the....

arXiv:2606.00175v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In this work we study the general relativistic massless Boltzmann equation on Friedmann-Lema\^itre-Robertson-Walker spacetimes with spatial topology $\mathbb{T}^3$ in the linear and decelerated expanding regimes, where the scale factor is $t^{\mathfrak{q}}$ with $\mathfrak{q}\in [0,1]$. The massless Boltzmann equation on these backgrounds admits non-stationary Maxwell-J\"uttner equilibria o....

arXiv:2606.00176v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Stochastic inflation is a powerful technique for calculating the probability distribution function (PDF) of large inflationary perturbations, which may collapse to form Primordial Black Holes. The PDF, $P({\cal N})$, of the stochastic number of e-folds, ${\cal N}$, satisfies an adjoint Fokker-Planck Equation. We develop a new self-contained eigenvalue technique which can be used to determin....

arXiv:2606.00179v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In this paper, we investigate contraction analysis for nonlinear time-delay systems described by functional differential equations. We first extend the concept of Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals within the differential framework. We then show that its existence is equivalent to that of an incremental Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional and guarantees uniform incremental exponential stability. Ne..

arXiv:2606.00183v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Tree search is a central abstraction behind many language-agent reasoning and decision-making tasks: agents must explore actions, remember failures, and backtrack toward promising alternatives. Yet, we lack a theoretical understanding of how transformer-based policies acquire such search capabilities from the training dynamics of reinforcement learning (RL). We study this question in a stoc....

arXiv:2606.00245v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We develop a new algorithm for computing the second discrete homology group of a graph which is much faster when compared to existing algorithms. To do so, we identify five basic shapes, which are quotient graphs of the 3-cube with the property that the injective maps from them detect all possible 2-boundaries in the singular chain complex computing discrete homology.

arXiv:2606.00292v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In 2010, Steurer conjectured that any family of $n$ unit-norm vectors $v_1,\dots,v_n$ with polynomially small average correlation $\mathbb{E}_{i,j}|\langle v_i,v_j\rangle|\leq n^{-\epsilon}$ contains linear-sized constant-separated sets. We refute this conjecture in a strong sense using the machinery of sparse high-dimensional expanders: such vector families do not even have linear-sized $\..

arXiv:2606.00296v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Neural operators are often reported to exhibit zero-shot super-resolution, a phenomenon in which a model trained on coarse grids produces accurate predictions on finer testing grids without additional retraining. Despite strong empirical evidence, the theoretical foundations of this phenomenon remain unclear. In this work, we provide a systematic theoretical study of zero-shot super-resolut..

arXiv:2606.00311v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The causal propagator (or Pauli-Jordan function), which multiplied by $i$ is the spacetime commutator of the field $[\phi(x),\phi(x')]$, plays an essential role in scalar quantum field theory. We discuss the role of the causal propagator and its spectrum in recent developments in defining quantum field theory in a more explicitly covariant manner, as well as in causal set theory. We then pr..

arXiv:2606.00317v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Model Predictive Path Integral (MPPI) control is a powerful sampling-based method for solving stochastic optimal control problems and has enabled real-time control in complex robotic systems. Despite its empirical success, its theoretical understanding remains limited. In this work, we show that MPPI can be interpreted as a special case of the Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm applied....

arXiv:2606.00401v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Simulating large molecular systems comprising thousands of atoms requires highly scalable methodologies. While modern Density Functional Theory (DFT) codes exhibit linear scaling, solving the associated large, sparse generalized eigenproblems remains a critical computational bottleneck on exascale architectures. In the context of the LimitX project, we propose a data-driven framework to acc....

Not all parametric ODE models have this property, and checking for parameter identifiability is a prerequisite to perform numerical parameter estimation. There are many algorithms and software packages for global parameter identifiability, and frequen..
