Optimal Mixing of Glauber Dynamics for the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick Model at $β< 1/2$

We prove that for every fixed inverse temperature $β< 1 / 2$, with high probability over the disorder, the single-site Glauber dynamics for the $n$-spin Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model mixes from every initial configuration to within total variation distance $\varepsilon$ in $O_β\left(n \log\left(n / \varepsilon\right)\right)$ steps. The bound holds uniformly over all external fields and is optimal up to constants depending only on $β$. The main ingredient is a deterministic criterion for optimal-order Poincaré inequalities in general Ising models, established via the integrated Bakry-Émery criterion together with a new two-spin estimate. A standard application of the localization-scheme framework of Chen and Eldan then upgrades the Poincaré inequality to a modified log-Sobolev inequality, yielding the optimal mixing-time bound. The main ideas underlying the proof of the Poincaré inequality were generated by GPT-5.6 Sol Ultra.

Numerical experiments on the Hardy conjecture for the Gauss circle problem

The classical unsolved Gauss circle problem concerns estimating the error between the number of lattice points inside a circle and the area of the circle as its radius tends to infinity. About a century ago, Hardy proposed a conjecture concerning this problem. In this paper, we attempt to provide numerical evidence in support of the Hardy conjecture through large-scale numerical computations.

$L^p$-Convergence Rate of Backward Euler Schemes for Monotone SDEs

We give a unified method to derive the strong convergence rate of the backward Euler scheme for monotone SDEs in $L^p(Ω)$-norm, with general $p \ge 4$. The results are applied to the backward Euler scheme of SODEs with polynomial growth coefficients. We also generalize the argument to the Galerkin-based backward Euler scheme of SPDEs with polynomial growth coefficients driven by multiplicative trace-class noise.

Entropy and Distributed Source Coding of Connected Soft Random Geometric Graphs

We consider the distributed compression of Soft Random Geometric Graphs (SRGGs) above the connectivity threshold. We establish the Slepian-Wolf rate region for the SRGG in the setting where there are a finite number of encoders compressing sections of the graph independently. To do so, we prove novel limit theorems and asymptotic equipartition properties for the SRGG and its entropy, which allow us to use random binning techniques for distributed compression.

An existence result of a functional integral equation via Darbo type theorem and an iterative algorithm to solve it

In our study, Darbo's fixed point theorem and the coupled fixed point theorem have been extended. The two theorems were generalized using $C-class$ mapping. Using the Darbo type theorem, we gave an existence result for a functional integral equation along with an appropriate illustration. In addition, we explored the numerical solution of a given functional integral problem using modified homotopy perturbation.

Recursive overlap Bernoulli distributions and an entropy concavity conjecture

We introduce a family of recursively generated finite probability distributions obtained from left and right embeddings with overlaps. The construction interpolates between the classical binomial distribution and the non-overlapping Bernoulli product distribution. We derive explicit formulas for the expectation, variance, and the generating function of higher moments, and formulate a conjecture asserting that the Shannon entropy is concave. The conjecture is proved in the two extremal cases and supported by symbolic computations for numerous overlap sequences.

Regularity of Second-Order Elliptic PDEs in Spectral Barron Spaces

We establish a regularity theorem for second-order elliptic PDEs on $\mathbb{R}^{d}$ in spectral Barron spaces. Under mild ellipticity and smallness assumptions, the solution gains two additional orders of Barron regularity. As a corollary, we identify a class of PDEs whose solutions can be approximated by two-layer neural networks with cosine activation functions, where the width of the neural network is independent of the spatial dimension.

Categorical algebra of conditional probability

In the field of categorical probability, one uses concepts and techniques from category theory, such as monads and monoidal categories, to study the structures of probability and statistics. In this paper, we connect some ideas from categorical algebra, namely weakly cartesian functors and natural transformations, to the idea of conditioning in probability theory, using Markov categories and probability monads. First of all, we show that under some conditions, the monad associated to a Markov category with conditionals has a weakly cartesian functor and weakly cartesian multiplication. In particular, we show that this is the case for the Giry monad on standard Borel spaces. We then connect this theory to existing results on statistical experiments. We show that for deterministic statistical experiments, the so-called standard measure construction (which can be seen as a generalization of the ``hypernormalizations'' introduced by Jacobs) satisfies a universal property, allowing an equivalent definition which does not rely on the existence of conditionals.

A categorical formulation of Kraus' paradox

We give a categorical formulation of Kraus' "magic trick" for recovering information from truncated types. Rather than type theory, we work in Van den Berg-Moerdijk path categories with a univalent universe, and rather than propositional truncation we work with arbitrary cofibrations, which includes truncation as a special case. We show, using Kraus' argument that any cofibration with homogeneous domain is a monomorphism. We give some simple concrete examples in groupoids to illustrate the interaction between homogeneous types, cofibrations and univalent fibrations.

A uniform elliptic reduction, an order-matching criterion, and precision benchmarks for the strong-coupling Birman-Schwinger analysis of the lattice three-boson trimer

We present a rigorous strong-coupling Birman-Schwinger analysis of the three-boson lattice Schroedinger operator on Z^2 at the exceptional quasimomentum K = pi. First, we provide an exact closed-form benchmark for the fiber Fredholm determinant, valid for every quasimomentum K, obtained via a uniform elliptic reduction. Second, we formulate and prove a general order-matching criterion determining whether a leading-order Fredholm determinant asymptotic, with relative error O(1/mu), suffices to fix the constant-order additive energy correction, or if the next-order refinement is required. Applying the criterion to the formal branch z = -2mu + d, we identify an algebraic crossing -2mu + 6 + 8/mu + O(mu^{-2}), but demonstrate that this crossing does not correspond to a true eigenvalue of the full Hamiltonian. The actual ground state obeys the rigorous variational bounds -3mu <= z_1^{pi,s}(mu) <= -3mu + 6, so that z_1^{pi,s}(mu) = -3mu + O(1), the same leading branch as at K = 0; direct finite-volume diagonalisation confirms the refined asymptotic -3mu + 6 + O(mu^{-1}) and spectral gap 2mu - 2 + O(mu^{-1}). We independently confirm that the known K = 0 constant C approximately 3.96458 requires no analogous refinement. Finally, we compare the asymptotic precision levels achieved across recent lattice few-body models and draw a structural parallel with the parity-based classification of topological band insulators at time-reversal-invariant momenta.

Double Toeplitz codes and their average weight enumerators

Recently, double Toeplitz codes have been introduced as a generalization of double circulant codes. In this paper, we study the average weight enumerators of double Toeplitz codes. As an application, we consider the existence of double Toeplitz codes over $\mathbb{F}_q$ with some specified minimum weights for $q \in \{2,3,4\}$. We also give a classification of double Toeplitz codes over $\mathbb{F}_q$ with the largest minimum weights for moderate lengths and $q \in \{2,3,4\}$.

Windowed thinning and query complexity for the bouncy particle and Zigzag samplers

Let $μ(d x)\propto e^{-U(x)} d x$ on $\R^d$, where $U$ is $m$-strongly convex and $L$-smooth, and denote by $κ=L/m$ the condition number. We consider windowed thinning, an exact simulation method for the bouncy particle sampler and the coordinate Zigzag process. The method divides a trajectory into deterministic windows and uses a gradient evaluation at the beginning of each window to construct a tractable local envelope for the event rate. Combining this construction with quantitative mixing estimates and finite-time bounds on the expected numbers of bounces and flips yields query complexity guarantees from a Gaussian cold start. For total-variation error $\varepsilon$, the expected query counts are $O(κ^{1/2}d\,(d\logκ+\log\frac1\varepsilon))$ gradient queries for the bouncy particle sampler and $O(κd^{1/4}(d\logκ+\log\frac1\varepsilon))$ full-gradient equivalents for Zigzag, where $d$ coordinate-partial queries count as one equivalent.

Families of relative periodic orbits in the planar three-body problem via consecutive alignments

Relative periodic orbits (RPOs) are solutions of the three-body problem that are periodic in a uniformly rotating reference frame and, in general, quasi-periodic in inertial coordinates. We present a numerical procedure for computing and continuing one-parameter families of RPOs of the planar Newtonian three-body problem. The method exploits consecutive syzygies, understood here as configurations in which the three bodies are aligned and their velocities satisfy the corresponding symmetry conditions. Matching the positions and momenta at two consecutive alignments reduces the computation of RPOs to a low-dimensional nonlinear problem. Its solutions are then numerically continued, and linear stability is determined from the nontrivial eigenvalues of the rotated monodromy matrix after removing the neutral directions associated with conserved quantities and continuous symmetries. The procedure is applied to several mass distributions and initial configurations, producing families of Poincaré, Hill, and binary-type solutions. These families exhibit transitions from nearly circular to highly eccentric motion, changes of stability near resonances and turning points, and absolute periodic solutions when the rotation angle is a rational multiple of 2π. In the Hill families, the continuation connects satellite configurations with circumstellar motion as the smallest body loses its gravitational binding to the intermediate body. Circumbinary and circumstellar configurations are also obtained in the binary regime. The results illustrate the dynamical diversity of RPOs and provide coherent three-body motions that can be used as prescribed trajectories in restricted four-body models.

New classes of trace-form permutation polynomials and their compositional inverses

We construct permutation polynomials of the form x + γTr^{q^2}_q(h(x)) over the finite field F_{q^2}. More precisely, we present two families ofpermutation polynomials whose coefficients range over all elements of the field rather than being restricted to a proper subfield. We also compute the compositional inverses of both families. Our techniques involve the evaluation of certain Kloosterman sums together with the analysis of some equations over finite fields, and we believe these can be of independent interest.

Column Number of Delta-modular matrices: Refined Analysis via Sauer Matrices

In this paper, we build upon the analysis initiated by Gennadiy Averkov and Matthias Schymura (2022) and establish that the number of distinct columns of a $Δ$-modular matrix $A \in \mathbb{Z}^{m \times n}$ of rank $m$ is $O(m^3 Δ)$. This upper bound was previously known only for odd values of $Δ$. Recall that a matrix is called $Δ$-modular if the maximum of the absolute values of its $m \times m$ minors equals $Δ$.

Optimal control of fractional diffusion with Dirac measures

We study a PDE-constrained optimization problem for an elliptic equation with the spectral fractional Laplacian and a linear combination of Dirac measures as the forcing term; the controls are the amplitudes of these singular sources. We prove existence and uniqueness of an optimal solution and derive first-order optimality conditions. We then propose a discretization based on finite elements. Since the set of admissible controls is finite dimensional, the control variable itself does not require discretization. We conclude by deriving a priori error bounds

The Alexander-Hirschowitz theorem for neurovarieties

We study the dimension and identifiability of neurovarieties associated to polynomial neural networks. We give an independent geometric proof that the linear bounds $d_i\geq 2n_i-1$ on the activation degrees imply non defectiveness for any number of outputs, a dimension statement previously obtained from finite identifiability. The proof is based on a direct analysis of the differential of the parameterization. We also investigate secant and Grassmann-secant obstructions outside this range and prove global identifiability for multi-output architectures under the same degree bounds.

Overcoming the spatial order barrier for nonlinear SPDEs with additive space-time white noise

We introduce a fully discrete numerical scheme for semilinear SPDEs with additive space-time white noise that overcomes the previous order barrier for the spatial convergence rate. The scheme achieves a strong convergence rate of $M^{-1+ε}$ in time and $N^{-3/2+ε}$ in space for any $ε>0$, where $M^{-1}$ and $N^{-1}$ are the temporal, respectively the spatial, meshsizes. This substantially improves the standard spatial error bounds of order $N^{-1/2}$ in the literature.
