On the Expressive Power of Transformers

arXiv:2608.12671v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multi-layer transformers form the critical component of essentially all large language models (LLMs) in use today. Because of their ubiquity and computational…

PSPACE-Completeness of Multi-Agent Path Finding for Large Agents

arXiv:2608.12955v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-Agent Path Finding for Large Agents (LA-MAPF) is a geometric variant of MAPF in which agents are modeled as disks and conflicts are determined by physical overlap in…

Metropolis-Hastings Sampling of Phylogenetic Networks: Correcting for Symmetries

arXiv:2608.12430v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In phylogenetics, Metropolis-Hastings methods are commonly used to sample phylogenetic trees or networks, for example from Bayesian posteriors. These methods generally use…

A relaxation of the Bermond-Thomassen conjecture

arXiv:2608.12948v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The well-known Bermond-Thomassen conjecture states that every digraph of minimum out-degree at least $2k-1$ contains $k$ vertex-disjoint directed cycles. Despite being…

On the Structure of $(\min,+)$ Convolution

arXiv:2608.13310v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The $(\min,+)$ convolution is a central problem in fine-grained complexity, and whether it admits a truly subquadratic algorithm remains open. We study it through…

On the Gap of Finite Posets

arXiv:2608.12678v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Let $P$ be a finite nonempty poset with $n$ elements, let $f:P\to\{1,\ldots,n\}$ be a uniformly random order-preserving bijection, and put $h_P(x)=\mathbb E[f(x)]$.…

Hit-and-Run Mixes as Fast as the Ball Walk

arXiv:2608.13487v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Let $K\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ be an isotropic convex body. We prove that the hit-and-run walk, started from any $M$-warm distribution, reaches total-variation distance…

Patching leaky tunnels in BWTs

arXiv:2608.01387v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We extend Baier's foundationial work on tunnelling Burrows-Wheeler Transforms (BWTs) by showing how something that would be a good tunnel except for a strings that…

Minimum eccentricity shortest paths of $K_{2,3}$-minor-free graphs

arXiv:2608.13158v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Given a simple, undirected, and unweighted graph $G$, and an integer $R$, the objective of the \textsc{Minimum Eccentricity Shortest Path (MESP)} is to decide whether…

Arithmetic Variable LogLog: Advancing the Memory-Variance Frontier

arXiv:2608.12575v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Cardinality estimation - counting the number of distinct elements in a data stream - requires a tradeoff between memory and accuracy. ExaLogLog recently established the…

Lindbladian Simulation with Commutator Bounds

arXiv:2603.28602v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Trotter decomposition provides a simple approach to simulating open quantum systems by decomposing the Lindbladian into a sum of individual terms. While it is…
