Numerical topology of the clique complex of the partition graph: Euler characteristic, clique counts, and sequence data

Abstract

We study the numerical topology of the clique complex $K_n=\mathrm{Cl}(G_n)$, where $G_n$ is the partition graph on the set of integer partitions of $n$. Building on the previously established homotopy equivalence $K_n \simeq \vee^{\,b_n} S^2$, we shift the focus from qualitative topology to its numerical content. Our main objects are the Euler characteristic $χ(K_n)$, the derived sequence $b_n=χ(K_n)-1$, the clique counts $c_r(n)$, and several related maximal-simplex counts. We develop two exact counting languages for the same invariant. The first is the direct clique-counting formula $χ(K_n)=\sum_{r\ge 1}(-1)^{r-1}c_r(n)$, which expresses Euler characteristic through clique counts in the partition graph. The second is a nerve-side formula arising from the canonical good cover by distinct full star- and full top-simplices, which yields $χ(K_n)=χ(N_n)$, where $N_n$ is the corresponding nerve. We further use the classification of maximal simplices into star-, top-, and edge-type pieces to formulate a local-to-global counting framework based on local admissibility data and global deduplication. The paper is primarily organizational and computational. It fixes a consistent counting dictionary, separates intrinsic global counts from auxiliary based counts, records exact data for the full main sequence package on $1\le n\le 25$, and extends the low-dimensional clique-count layer through $n=60$. We do not claim closed formulas for $χ(K_n)$ or for the full family of clique counts. Rather, the paper provides a framework in which such questions can be studied systematically.

A Proof of Liu's Conjecture on the Fundamental Triangle Inequality

Let $a,b,c$ be the side lengths of a triangle, and let $R$ and $r$ denote its circumradius and inradius, respectively. Liu proposed the conjecture \[ \sum_{\text{cyc}} \left(\frac{a(b+c-a)}{bc}\right)^k \ge 2+\left(\frac{2r}{R}\right)^k,\qquad k>1, \] with the reverse inequality for $k<1$. We prove this conjecture by reducing it to an algebraic inequality for three positive variables with prescribed sum and product. We also determine the equality cases.

A quadratic critical-value conjecture for the fifth Bessel moment

We conjecture an explicit evaluation of the pure fifth Bessel moment $\int_0^\infty K_0(t)^5\,dt$ as a quadratic expression in the critical value $L(f,2)$ of the weight-three, level-60 newform $f$ (LMFDB orbit 60.3.b.a) identified in the twisted fifth-moment modularity theorem of Lim, Tu and Yu, with coefficients in $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{5})$ and the square taken before the real and imaginary parts. Directed interval computations, using no stored Bessel or $L$-values, bound the absolute discrepancy by $10^{-358}$. We prove three exact modular identities for $f$: the Petersson-norm formula $\langle f,f\rangle_{60} = \frac{3(5-\sqrt{5})}{2π^4}|L(f,2)|^2$, the coefficient-conjugation relation $L(f^σ,2) = κL(f,2)$ with explicit $κ\in \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{5},i)$, and the twisted symmetric-square evaluation $L(χ_{-4}\mathrm{Sym}^2 f,2) = \sqrt{15}\,π^2 \langle f,f\rangle_{60}$, together with $L(χ_{-4}\mathrm{Sym}^2 f,3) = π^4\langle f,f\rangle_{60}/8$, in the full Euler-factor normalization of Lim, Tu and Yu. The last identity shows that the companion norm conjecture $D_{5,\mathrm{odd}} = \frac{3\sqrt{15}(5-\sqrt{5})}{2}|L(f,2)|^2$ is equivalent to the symmetric-square conjecture $D_{5,\mathrm{odd}} = π^2 L(χ_{-4}\mathrm{Sym}^2 f,2)$ of Lim, Tu and Yu, while the exact relation $D_{5,\mathrm{even}} = π^2 D_{5,\mathrm{odd}}/(2\sqrt{15})$ follows from Chuang's period formulas. Every Bessel-to-modular equality, including the individual-period formula, remains conjectural. Complete proofs, exact rational certificates and verification programs are included as ancillary files.
