A Machine-Checked Proof that Gardam's $\tilde{A}_2$ Lattice Does Not Have Unique Products

Ibrahim Mian, Shayaan Siddique

Kaplansky's zero-divisor conjecture asserts that the group ring of a torsion-free group over a field has no zero divisors. It holds for every group with the unique-product property, so a counterexample can only come from a torsion-free group without unique...

An exponential lower bound for the bit pigeonhole principle in resolution over parities

Kamil Braun

Resolution over parities, $\mathrm{Res}(\oplus)$, is the characteristic-two version of resolution over linear equations: clauses are disjunctions of affine equations over $\mathbb F_2$. Superpolynomial size lower bounds were previously known only for restri...

For each sufficiently large $N$, we construct smooth solutions of the magnetohydrostatic equations on embedded solid tori whose regular pressure levels are nested tori, whose magnetic field vanishes exactly on a round magnetic axis, and whose group of Eucli...

Formalizing PARITY Circuit Lower Bounds in Lean

Saint Wesonga

We formalize Hastad's PARITY lower bound in Lean using the switching lemma. For every fixed d >= 2, formulas and DAG circuits of computation depth at most d computing PARITY on n inputs require size exp(Omega_d(n^(1/(d-1)))) for all sufficiently large n. Th...

LIMBO: Learning and Internalizing Model-Free Barrier Objectives for Agile and Safe Whole-Body Control

Safe whole-body control requires coordinating collision avoidance and balance under high-dimensional, nonlinear dynamics--making safety certificates difficult to design and reuse across behaviors. We present LIMBO, a framework for synthesizing a state-actio...

Improved bounds for universal convex covers of unit arcs

Moser's worm problem asks for a planar region of least area containing a congruent copy of every unit arc. We show that the infimum area $α$ among convex universal covers satisfies $0.239\leα\le0.24633\ldots$, reducing the gap between the previous refereed...

Nonexistence of a Leech Tree of Order 18: A Computer-Assisted Proof

A Leech tree of order $n$ is a tree with positive integral edge weights whose $n(n-1)/2$ pairwise weighted distances are precisely $1,2,\ldots,n(n-1)/2$. This paper gives a computer-assisted proof that no Leech tree of order $18$ exists. The argument has th...
