A Counterexample to the Tang Zhang Schatten Norm Conjecture and Sharp Positive Results

arXiv:2608. 15558v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: For $m\geq 2$, let $c_p(m)$ be the all-dimensional best constant in $$ \left\|\sum_{k=1}^m A_k\right\|_p \leq c_p(m)\left\|\sum_{k=1}^m |A_k|\right\|_p.

A Resolution of the SS--RS--GD Inequalities

arXiv:2607. 22620v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Yun, Sra, and Jadbabaie (COLT 2021, open question) conjectured the SS--RS--GD inequalities: for well-conditioned symmetric matrices $A_1,\dots,A_n$, the operators $W_{ss}$, $W_{rs}$, and $W_{gd}$ that encode the expected iterate of single-shuffle SGD, random-reshuffle SGD, and gradient descent on a quadratic finite sum should satisfy \[ \|W_{ss}\|\le \| W_{rs}\|\le \|W_{gd}\|.

The VC dimension of partial concept classes via Radon's theorem

arXiv:2607. 10751v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Following Alon, Hanneke, Holzman, and Moran (FOCS 2021), we define a partial concept class (PCC) as a family of partial functions \(f: V\to\{0,1,\ast\}\); equivalently, its concepts partition the ground set into black ($f^{-1}(1)$), grey ($f^{-1}(\ast)$), and white parts ($f^{-1}(0)$).

An Explicit Counterexample to Stanley's Rankwise Lower-Bound Conjecture for Differential Posets

arXiv:2607. 22988v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In Problem~6 of his 1988 paper on differential posets, Stanley asked for the least possible cardinality of a fixed rank of an $r$-differential poset and suggested that the minimum should be attained by $Y^r$, the $r$-fold Cartesian power of Young's lattice.
