A Forced-Structure Reduction and Verifiable Bounds for Conway's 99-Graph

arXiv:2608. 11211v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Conway's 99-graph problem asks whether a strongly regular graph with parameters $\mathrm{srg}(99,14,1,2)$ exists.

Formalizing Flag Algebras in Lean

arXiv:2607. 23500v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Razborov's flag algebra method is a powerful tool for proving asymptotic inequalities in extremal graph theory, often reducing the task to finding a finite certificate by semidefinite programming.

Instruction Set and Language for Hypergraphs

arXiv:2607. 10194v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present IsalHG, a method for representing the structure of any finite, connected hypergraph of bounded hyperedge arity as a string over a compact instruction alphabet $\Sigma_{\mathrm{HG}}$.

Optimizing Explicit Unit-Distance Lower-Bound Certificates

arXiv:2606. 03419v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The 2026 disproof of Erd\H{o}s's unit-distance conjecture and Sawin's subsequent explicit quantitative refinement show that the maximum number $u(n)$ of unit distances among $n$ planar points can exceed $n^{1+\varepsilon}$ for a fixed positive $\varepsilon$.

Byzantine Accountability Without Consensus: Strong Eventual Consistency for Non-Associative, Stochastic, Robust Aggregation

arXiv:2607. 10305v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Byzantine-robust aggregation rules such as multi-Krum assume a central coordinator, and decentralising them is obstructed by the rules themselves: they are globally coupled, non-associative, and discontinuous, so an ulpscale perturbation can flip the selected subset, moving the output by a non-vanishing amount.
