Can You Hear the Shape of a Hyperbolic Surface? Now for Real

Ludovico Battista, Juan Souto · 2026

We associate a musical instrument, a "hyperbolic marimba", to every pair $(X,\Gamma)$ where $X$ is a hyperbolic surface and $\Gamma\subset X$ a simple multicurve labeled with musical keys. It works as…

Geometry-Calibrated Conformal Abstention for Language Models

Rui Xu, Yi Chen, Sihong Xie, Hui Xiong · 2026

When language models lack relevant knowledge for a given query, they frequently generate plausible responses that can be hallucinations, rather than admitting being agnostic about the answer. Retraini…

A Generalisation of Goursat's Algorithm for Integration in Finite Terms

Sam Blake · 2026

We give a self-contained, modern exposition of \'Edouard Goursat's 1887 theorem on pseudo-elliptic integrals -- those integrals of the form $\int F(t)\,\d t/\sqrt{R(t)}$ with $R$ a cubic or quartic po…
