A Census of New Snake-in-the-Box Records

Paul Orland, Lucas Fagan, Michele Tarquini +7

The paper presents new longest induced (chordless) paths, called snakes, in hypercube graphs for dimensions 9 through 13, thereby improving the known lower bounds for the snake-in-…

fkcompute: an efficient invariant calculator

Paul Orland, Davide Passaro, Lara San Martín Suárez +2

The paper presents fkcompute, an open‑source tool for efficiently calculating the Gukov–Manolescu invariant of links given by braid presentations, and releases the first public dat…

Hierarchical Reinforcement Learning for Sparse-Reward Search in Commutative Algebra

Giorgi Butbaia, Paul Orland, Coco Huang +7

Applying machine learning techniques to solving long-standing mathematical conjectures can be particularly challenging due to their extreme reward sparsity. As an illustrative exam…

The Two-Hump Problem: Bridging the Difficulty Gap in Mathematical Reinforcement Learning

Lucas Fagan, Michele Tarquini, Ali Shehper +6

Mathematical search problems present a unique challenge for Reinforcement Learning (RL) due to vast search spaces and sparse rewards. In previous works, the Andrews-Curtis (AC) con…

3d Modularity Revisited

Miranda C. N. Cheng, Ioana Coman, Piotr Kucharski +2

The three-manifold topological invariants capture the half-index of the three-dimensional theory with supersymmetry obtained by compactifying the M5 bran…

from Surgery and Modularity

Shimal Harichurn, Mrunmay Jagadale, Dmitry Noshchenko +1

invariants, rigorously defined for negative definite plumbed 3-manifolds, are expected--on physical grounds--to exist for every closed, oriented 3-manifold. Several p…
