Cosmology of fractional gravity

Ivan Salvador-Garcia, Gianluca Calcagni ยท 2026

This is a first study of the cosmology of classical fractional gravity, a nonlocal proposal endowed with self-adjoint fractional d'Alembertian operators which serves as the basis for an ultraviolet-coโ€ฆ

Superpolynomial Length Lower Bounds for Tree-Like Semantic Proof Systems with Bounded Line Size

Susanna F. de Rezende, David Engstrom, Yassine Ghannane, Kilian Risse ยท 2026

We prove superpolynomial length lower bounds for the semantic tree-like Frege refutation system with bounded line size. Concretely, for any function $n^{2-\varepsilon} \leq s(n) \leq 2^{n^{1-\varepsilโ€ฆ

The proportion of permutations fixing a $k$-set

Ben Green, Mehtaab Sawhney ยท 2026

Denote by $p(k)$ the limit, as $n \rightarrow \infty$, of the probability that a random permutation on a set of size $n$ has an invariant set of size $k$. We give an asymptotic formula for $p(k)$, shoโ€ฆ

New gravitational-wave templates for metastable cosmic strings: Loop breaking versus network collapse

Doa Hashemi Asl, Kai Schmitz ยท 2026

Metastable cosmic strings are a common prediction of grand unified theories and act as a source of a gravitational-wave background (GWB) that can explain the 2023 pulsar timing array (PTA) signal. In โ€ฆ

Failure of the semi log canonical Abundance for compact K\"{a}hler threefolds

Swapnajit Das ยท 2026

In this article we show that the semi log canonical abundance for compact K\"ahler varieties fails in dimension $3$. More specifically we construct a counterexample of a compact K\"ahler (irreducible)โ€ฆ

A torsion-intersection proof of perfect-cuboid nonexistence on 1,072 explicit master-tuple fibers

Rene Peschmann ยท 2026

Building on the genus-3 reduction $C_A : w^2 = \lambda^8 + A \lambda^4 + 1$ established in our companion paper (arXiv:2604.09328), we give an unconditional proof of the perfect-cuboid conjecture ("Conโ€ฆ

Frank-Wolfe Beyond 1/t Convergence

Sebastian Pokutta ยท 2026

We consider smooth convex minimization over compact convex sets, i.e., $\min_{x \in C} f(x)$ with the (vanilla) Frank-Wolfe algorithm. Well-known lower bounds establish a worst-case $\Omega(1/t)$ primโ€ฆ
