A note on a recent claimed proof of the irrationality of Catalan's constant
Dane Wachs
The preprint arXiv:2609.04176 (Z.-W. Sun, 3 September 2026) claims a proof that Catalan's constant is irrational: it constructs for each a number from weighted t…
Murmurations, Periods, and Local Factors
Dane Wachs
This note replaces arXiv:2603.22807v1 and withdraws its three theorems, which do not stand as stated. Theorem A, that the order of the Tate-Shafarevich group of ov…
Frobenius in for over : ranks, Tate--Shafarevich groups and trace statistics
Dane Wachs
Let be a power of a prime and let be the set of curves over with monic of degree and squ…
BSD Invariants and Murmurations of Elliptic Curves
Dane Wachs
We study how the murmurations of elliptic curves over depend on the invariants in the Birch-Swinnerton-Dyer formula, using the Frobenius traces at all primes up to $10…
The Derived Adelic Cohomology Conjecture for Elliptic Curves
Dane Wachs
We propose a novel derived cohomological framework for the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer (BSD) conjecture for elliptic curves. In our approach, local arithmetic data are encoded in der…
