Between April 1 and May 15, 2026, a group of 49 mathematicians compiled a dataset of research-level mathematics questions with known answers. Most of the work was done during the 3…
Maxout Polytopes
Andrei Balakin, Shelby Cox, Georg Loho +1
Maxout polytopes are defined by feedforward neural networks with maxout activation function and non-negative weights after the first layer. We characterize the parameter spaces and…
Maximum Likelihood Degrees of Brownian Motion Tree Models: Star Trees and Root Invariance
Jane Ivy Coons, Shelby Cox, Aida Maraj +1
A Brownian motion tree (BMT) model is a Gaussian model whose associated set of covariance matrices is linearly constrained according to common ancestry in a phylogenetic tree. We s…
Tropicalizing binary geometries
Shelby Cox, Igor Makhlin
The type A cluster configuration space, commonly known as , is the very affine part of the binary geometry associated with the associahedron. The tropicalization…
