On detection probabilities of link invariants

arXiv:2509. 05574v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We prove that, for many standard link invariants, both the proportion of distinct invariant values and the detection probability among prime alternating links with at most n crossings decay exponentially in n, with an explicit universal rate.

Big data approach to Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials

arXiv:2412. 01283v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We investigate the structure of Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials of the symmetric group by leveraging computational approaches from big data, including exploratory and topological data analysis, applied to the polynomials for symmetric groups of up to 11 strands.

Minimal surfaces, Knots, and Neural Networks

arXiv:2605. 26234v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: A recent conjecture by Joel Fine posits a relationship between the coefficients of the HOMFLY polynomial of a knot $K$ in the 3-sphere $S^3$, and the signed count of minimal surfaces in hyperbolic 4-space $\mathrm{H}^4$ meeting the sphere at infinity at $K$, with prescribed genus and self-intersection number.

$p$-adic Bi-Filtrations for Topological Machine Learning on Genomic Sequences

We introduce pVR, a topological machine learning framework for alignment-free genomic sequence classification that combines $p$-adic numbers with topological data analysis. Each DNA sequence is encoded along two complementary axes: a $p$-adic distance on $k$-mer prefixes, which captures hierarchical positional structure, and a compositional $L_1$ distance on $k$-mer frequencies, which captures local sequence content.
