Computations and ML for surjective rational maps

arXiv:2510. 08093v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The present note studies \emph{surjective rational endomorphisms} $f: \mathbb{P}^2 \dashrightarrow \mathbb{P}^2$ with \emph{cubic} terms and the indeterminacy locus $I_f \ne \emptyset$.

Real-rootedness of the Poincar\'e polynomials of $\overline{\mathcal M}_{0,n}$: an AI-assisted proof

arXiv:2605. 29151v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We prove real-rootedness for the Poincar\'e polynomial \[ P_n(t)=\sum_{i=0}^{n-3} \dim H^{2i}(\overline{\mathcal M}_{0,n};\mathbb{Q})t^i \] of the Deligne--Mumford moduli space $\overline{\mathcal M}_{0,n}$ of stable $n$-pointed rational curves, proving a conjecture of Aluffi--Chen--Marcolli.

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.

Improved Upper Bounds for Slicing the Hypercube

arXiv:2602. 16807v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: A collection of hyperplanes $\mathcal{H}$ slices all edges of the $n$-dimensional hypercube $Q_n$ with vertex set $\{-1,1\}^n$ if, for every edge $e$ in the hypercube, there exists a hyperplane in $\mathcal{H}$ intersecting $e$ in its interior.

Detecting Nonproperness of Likelihood Equations

arXiv:2608. 01976v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Given an algebraic statistical model, a challenging problem is classifying the data according to the number of positive critical points of the likelihood function.

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.
