On the Expressive Power and Limitations of Multi-Layer SSMs

arXiv:2604.14501v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We study how depth, finite precision, state dimension, and chain-of-thought (CoT) affect the expressive power of multi-layer state-space models (SSMs). For the…

On Top-Down and Local Lower Bounds for $\mathrm{AC^0}$ Circuits

arXiv:2609.01759v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Classical lower bounds for $\mathrm{AC^0}$ circuits proceed bottom-up by simplifying or approximating gates beginning at the input layer. We introduce a complementary…

Quantum Blind Rotation for Fast Functional Bootstrapping

arXiv:2409.20182v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) enables privacy-preserving cloud computation, but its efficiency is often limited by the cost of bootstrapping. In particular,…

Smoothed Analysis for Learning Concepts with Low Intrinsic Dimension

arXiv:2407.00966v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In traditional models of supervised learning, the goal of a learner-- given examples from an arbitrary joint distribution on $\mathbb{R}^d \times \{\pm 1\}$-- is…

New Upper bounds on the Mondrian Art Problem

arXiv:2609.01998v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present a new upper bound on the defect of the Mondrian Art Problem. The Mondrian Art Problem asks for a partition of an $n \times n$ square with rectangles of…

Embracing exchange sequences and oriented matroid polyhedron diameter

arXiv:2606.19573v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We reduce the embracing exchange distance of bases of oriented matroids to the metric of oriented matroid polyhedra. This allows us to disprove recent…

Helly Type Theorems for Splitting Point-Sets

arXiv:2609.02180v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Let $0 < \alpha \leq 1/2$. We say that a finite point set $P$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$ is $\alpha$-split by a hyperplane $h$ if each of the closed half-spaces determined by…

Multiset Metric Dimension of Binomial Random Graphs

arXiv:2507.11686v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: For a graph $G = (V,E)$ and a subset $R \subseteq V$, we say that $R$ is \textit{multiset resolving} for $G$ if for every pair of vertices $v,w$, the…

An $n(\log n)^{o(1)}$ bound for nested cycles without geometric crossings

arXiv:2609.02234v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Cycles $C_1,\ldots,C_k$ in a graph are called nested without geometric crossings if they are pairwise edge-disjoint, $V(C_k)\subseteq\cdots\subseteq V(C_1)$, and each…

Towards Solving the Gilbert-Pollak Conjecture via Large Language Models

arXiv:2601.22365v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The Gilbert-Pollak Conjecture \citep{gilbert1968steiner}, also known as the Steiner Ratio Conjecture, states that for any finite point set in the Euclidean plane, the…

Logarithmic basis number of graphs

arXiv:2609.02080v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The basis number $\mathrm{bn}(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the minimum edge-congestion of a basis of its cycle space. We prove that every finite $n$-vertex multigraph satisfies…
