Dequantization Barriers for Guided Stoquastic Hamiltonians

arXiv:2602.23183v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We construct a probability distribution, induced by the Perron--Frobenius eigenvector of an exponentially large graph, that cannot be efficiently sampled by any…

Constructive Arboricity in Almost-Linear Time for Dense Graphs

arXiv:2610.13937v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The arboricity of a graph is the minimum number of forests needed to partition its edges. We present an algorithm that computes the exact arboricity of a simple graph…

Low-Temperature Sampling via Equilibrium Disagreements

arXiv:2611.08416v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We develop a new framework for sampling at low temperatures using Glauber dynamics. In this regime, the coexistence of competing modes (commonly referred to as phases)…

Canonical Cut Hierarchy in Almost-Linear Time via Reduction to Max-Flow

arXiv:2611.08466v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The canonical cut hierarchy recursively partitions a graph along Tutte-Nash-Williams partitions, choosing the partition with the most number of parts at each step. We give…

First-Order Model Checking on Monadically Dependent Graph Classes

arXiv:2611.08143v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Monadically dependent graph classes are those in which first-order logic cannot encode all graphs. They include all nowhere dense classes and all classes of bounded…

Stacking Stars: Minimum-Area Packing with and without Rotation

arXiv:2611.07100v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study the problem of packing a given set of polygons into a minimum-area convex container, that is, placing them without overlap so as to minimize the area of their…

An Integrality-Gap Lower Bound of 1.2325 for Minimum Multiway Cut

arXiv:2611.06957v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We prove that the integrality gap of the C\u{a}linescu-Karloff-Rabani relaxation for Minimum Multiway Cut is at least $1.2325$ when the number of terminals is large. By a…

$L_1$ versus $L_2$ Clustering: When Does the Choice of Norm Matter?
