1. A cluster of results on amplituhedron tiles

   https://doi.org/10.1007/s11005-024-01854-4

   Abstract The amplituhedron is a mathematical object which was introduced to provide a geometric origin of scattering amplitudes in$$\mathcal {N}=4$$ $N=4$super Yang–Mills theory. It generalizescyclic polytopesand thepositive Grassmannianand has a very rich combinatorics with connections to cluster algebras. In this article, we provide a series of results about tiles and tilings of the$$m=4$$ $m=4$amplituhedron. Firstly, we provide a full characterization of facets of BCFW tiles in terms of cluster variables for$$\text{ Gr}_{4,n}$$ ${\text{Gr}}_{4,n}$. Secondly, we exhibit a tiling of the$$m=4$$ $m=4$amplituhedron which involves a tile which does not come from the BCFW recurrence—thespuriontile, which also satisfies all cluster properties. Finally, strengthening the connection with cluster algebras, we show that each standard BCFW tile is the positive part of a cluster variety, which allows us to compute the canonical form of each such tile explicitly in terms of cluster variables for$$\text{ Gr}_{4,n}$$ ${\text{Gr}}_{4,n}$. This paper is a companion to our previous paper “Cluster algebras and tilings for the$$m=4$$ $m=4$amplituhedron.”

2. A new zero-free region for Rankin–Selberg 𝐿-functions

   https://doi.org/10.1515/crelle-2025-0009  

   Harcos, Gergely; Thorner, Jesse (March 2025, Journal für die reine und angewandte Mathematik (Crelles Journal))

   Abstract Let 𝜋 and ${\pi }^{\prime }$\pi^{\prime}be cuspidal automorphic representations of $\mathrm{GL}\left(n\right)$\mathrm{GL}(n)and $\mathrm{GL}\left(n^{\prime }\right)$\mathrm{GL}(n^{\prime})with unitary central characters.We establish a new zero-free region for all $\mathrm{GL}\left(1\right)$\mathrm{GL}(1)-twists of the Rankin–Selberg 𝐿-function $L(s,\pi \times {\pi }^{\prime })$L(s,\pi\times\pi^{\prime}), generalizing Siegel’s celebrated work on Dirichlet 𝐿-functions.As an application, we prove the first unconditional Siegel–Walfisz theorem for the Dirichlet coefficients of $-L^{\prime }(s,\pi \times {\pi }^{\prime })/L(s,\pi \times {\pi }^{\prime })$-L^{\prime}(s,\pi\times\pi^{\prime})/L(s,\pi\times\pi^{\prime}).Also, for $n\le 8$n\leq 8, we extend the region of holomorphy and nonvanishing for the twisted symmetric power 𝐿-functions $L(s,\pi ,{\mathrm{Sym}}^n\otimes \chi )$L(s,\pi,\mathrm{Sym}^{n}\otimes\chi)of any cuspidal automorphic representation of $\mathrm{GL}\left(2\right)$\mathrm{GL}(2).

3. More on codes for combinatorial composite DNA

   https://doi.org/10.1007/s10623-025-01634-8  

   Ye, Zuo; Sabary, Omer; Gabrys, Ryan; Yaakobi, Eitan; Elishco, Ohad (May 2025, Designs, Codes and Cryptography)

   Abstract In this paper, we focus on constructing unique-decodable and list-decodable codes for the recently studied (t, e)-composite-asymmetric error-correcting codes ((t, e)-CAECCs). Let$$\mathcal {X}$$ $X$be an$$m \times n$$ $m\times n$binary matrix in which each row has Hamming weightw. If at mosttrows of$$\mathcal {X}$$ $X$contain errors, and in each erroneous row, there are at mosteoccurrences of$$1 \rightarrow 0$$ $1\to 0$errors, we say that a (t, e)-composite-asymmetric error occurs in$$\mathcal {X}$$ $X$. For general values ofm, n, w, t, ande, we propose new constructions of (t, e)-CAECCs with redundancy at most$$(t-1)\log (m) + O(1)$$ $(t-1)log\left(m\right)+O\left(1\right)$, whereO(1) is independent of the code lengthm. In particular, this yields a class of (2, e)-CAECCs that are optimal in terms of redundancy. Whenmis a prime power, the redundancy can be further reduced to$$(t-1)\log (m) - O(\log (m))$$ $(t-1)log\left(m\right)-O(log(m\left)\right)$. To further increase the code size, we introduce a combinatorial object called a weak$$B_e$$ $B_e$-set. When$$e = w$$ $e=w$, we present an efficient encoding and decoding method for our codes. Finally, we explore potential improvements by relaxing the requirement of unique decoding to list-decoding. We show that when the list size ist! or an exponential function oft, there exist list-decodable (t, e)-CAECCs with constant redundancy. When the list size is two, we construct list-decodable (3, 2)-CAECCs with redundancy$$\log (m) + O(1)$$ $log\left(m\right)+O\left(1\right)$.

4. On an Equivalence of Divisors on $$\overline {\text {M}}_{0,n}$$ from Gromov-Witten Theory and Conformal Blocks

   https://doi.org/10.1007/s00031-022-09752-6  

   Chen, L.; Gibney, A.; Heller, L.; Kalashnikov, E.; Larson, H.; Xu, W. (August 2022, Transformation Groups)

   Abstract We consider a conjecture that identifies two types of base point free divisors on$$\overline {\text {M}}_{0,n}$$ ${\overline{M}}_{0,n}$. The first arises from Gromov-Witten theory of a Grassmannian. The second comes from first Chern classes of vector bundles associated with simple Lie algebras in type A. Here we reduce this conjecture on$$\overline {\text {M}}_{0,n}$$ ${\overline{M}}_{0,n}$to the same statement forn= 4. A reinterpretation leads to a proof of the conjecture on$$\overline {\text {M}}_{0,n}$$ ${\overline{M}}_{0,n}$for a large class, and we give sufficient conditions for the non-vanishing of these divisors.

5. Regularity of area minimizing currents mod p

   https://doi.org/10.1007/s00039-020-00546-0  

   De Lellis, Camillo; Hirsch, Jonas; Marchese, Andrea; Stuvard, Salvatore (October 2020, Geometric and Functional Analysis)

   Abstract We establish a first general partial regularity theorem for area minimizing currents$${\mathrm{mod}}(p)$$ $\mathrm{mod}\left(p\right)$, for everyp, in any dimension and codimension. More precisely, we prove that the Hausdorff dimension of the interior singular set of anm-dimensional area minimizing current$${\mathrm{mod}}(p)$$ $\mathrm{mod}\left(p\right)$cannot be larger than$$m-1$$ $m-1$. Additionally, we show that, whenpis odd, the interior singular set is$$(m-1)$$ $(m-1)$-rectifiable with locally finite$$(m-1)$$ $(m-1)$-dimensional measure.
