Torsion detection in clique complexes is conditionally $QMA_1$-hard

arXiv:2609.14110v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Quantum algorithms for topological data analysis compute Betti numbers, the ranks of the homology groups of a simplicial complex, which can be read off from the…

Existence and nonexistence of commutativity gadgets for entangled CSPs

arXiv:2509.07835v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Commutativity gadgets allow NP-hardness proofs for classical constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) to be carried over to undecidability proofs for the…

$\mathsf{BQP} \subseteq \mathsf{IP}$ Does Not Relativize

arXiv:2609.25680v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We construct an oracle relative to which $\mathsf{BQP} \not\subseteq \mathsf{IP}$, resolving a long-standing open question in quantum complexity theory. Together with…

Sub-polynomial parameterized complexity of $k$-core

arXiv:2609.25419v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The $k$-core of a graph is its (unique) largest subgraph with minimum degree at least $k$. For any $k \geq 3$, deciding whether a given vertex belongs to the $k$-core is a…

The Scaling Window of Random $k$-SAT

arXiv:2609.26222v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We prove a general upper bound for scaling windows of sparse monotone covering problems. From that, we deduce that for every fixed value $k\geq 3$, the window of random…

A characterization of idempotent Schur multipliers

arXiv:2607.14316v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We prove that every idempotent Schur multiplier is a finite signed sum of contractive idempotent Schur multipliers. This was conjectured by Katavolos and Paulsen…

Word Length and Diameter in Permutation Groups

arXiv:2609.26307v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The input for the binary diameter problem consists of explicitly represented permutations generating a finite group $G$ and a binary-encoded nonnegative integer $k$. The…
