Simple symmetric Venn diagrams with 17 and 19 curves

Chris Dzoba

We exhibit simple, rotationally symmetric Venn diagrams with 17 curves and with 19 curves: n Jordan curves carried to one another by rotation through 2π/n, with every one of the 2^n regions present and connected and, since the diagrams are simple, every cro...

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...

Counterexamples to Grad's conjecture

Hydrozoan: Latency-Adaptive DAG Consensus under Mixed Byzantine and Crash Faults

Qianyu Yu, Lefteris Kokoris-Kogias, Alberto Sonnino

DAG-based consensus protocols can achieve great throughput and the optimal three-message-delay limit for n = 3f+1 consensus. While two-delay protocols exist, they pay with reduced resilience (requiring 5f+1-style committees) or rely on fallbacks that sacrif...

Direct Optimization of Generators for Search in Automated Theorem Proving

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...

Beyond Natural Language: An Agent-Native Language for Autonomous Science
