Bounds on skew dimensions and characters of symmetric groups via thick hook decompositions
We bound the number of standard tableaux of skew shapes via thick hook decompositions in the Naruse hook length formula. Combining this with elementary counting arguments in the Murnaghan--Nakayama rule, we establish a uniform bound on characters of symmetric groups $\mathfrak{S}_n$. In the case of balanced representations, this improves on the character bounds of Féray and Śniady for permutations with support size at least $n^{2/3}$, and is sharp for permutations with support size of order $…

Generalized Bicycle Codes with Low Connectivity: Minimum Distance Bounds and Hook Errors
We present new upper and lower bounds on the minimum distance of certain generalized bicycle (GB) codes beyond the reach of techniques for classical codes capable of even capturing the true minimum distance for some cases. These bounds are then applied to illustrate the existence and analyze two highly degenerate GB code families with parameters $[[d^2+1,2,d]]$ for odd $d \geq 3$ and $[[d^2,2,d]]$ for even $d \geq 4$, both having the property that each check qubit is connected to exactly four d…

On the smallest partition associated to a numerical semigroup
The set of hook lengths of an integer partition $λ$ is the complement of some numerical semigroup $S$. There has been recent interest in studying the number of partitions with a given set of hook lengths. Very little is known about the distribution of sizes of this finite set of partitions. We focus on the problem of determining the size of the smallest partition with its set of hook lengths equal to $\mathbb{N}\setminus S$.

Retrieving biparameter persistence modules from monoparameter ones: a characterization of hook-decomposable persistence modules
Motivated by the need to relate the biparameter persistence module induced by a pair of scalar functions with the monoparameter persistence modules induced by each function separately, we introduce a construction that defines a kind of product between two monoparameter persistence modules. While originally conceived to serve this comparative purpose, our construction unexpectedly reveals a deeper structural property: it also characterizes a class of biparameter modules known as hook-decomposabl…

Stacking the Deck: Gambling on a Light QCD Axion
We consider axions lighter than what their QCD couplings might otherwise suggest. Starting with a $\mathbb{Z}_N$-axion, we introduce a small explicit $\mathbb{Z}_N$ symmetry-breaking coupling between the Standard Model Higgs boson and a reheaton. This small explicit breaking allows us to populate a large portion of the light axion $m_a$-$f_a$ plane, removes the $1/N$ tuning in the $\mathbb{Z}_N$-axion, and explains why only our sector was reheated. Due to finite temperature effects, axions of t…

Cocharacters of generalized polynomial identities
In this paper we extend the cocharacter theory to generalized identities of $W$-algebras. We prove that the Hilbert series of the relatively free $W$-algebra admits an expansion in terms of Schur functions whose coefficients coincide with generalized cocharacter multiplicities. Moreover, we prove analogues of the Hook and Strip theorems for $W$-algebras and we derive growth bounds for generalized codimension and colenght sequences. Finally, we establish that every variety $\mathcal{V}$ of $W$-a…

Maximal transitivity of the cactus group on standard Young tableaux
The action of the cactus group $C_n$ on Young tableaux of a given shape $λ$ goes back to Berenstein and Kirillov and arises naturally in the study of crystal bases and quantum integrable systems. We show that this action is $2$-transitive on standard Young tableaux of the shape $λ$ if and only if $λ$ is not self-transpose and not a single hook. Moreover, we show that in these cases, the image of the cactus group in the permutation group of standard Young tableaux is either the whole permutat…

Biden's record on covid
Saw a comment along the lines of: "seems unfair to criticise Biden's record on covid, while the situation now under Trump is so much worse".
But I don't think of them as separate. Biden's government _contributed_ to how covid stands under Trump.
If Biden's lot had taken the opportunity to educate people (at least the ones open to considering science findings) that
- it's airborne like smoke
- an empty room can hold infectious virus
- air filters, UV and fresh air reduce the levels of it
- masks work better the better they fit
- you can be infectious without/before symptoms
- you're fairly likely still to be infectious for 10 days, a few people longer
- current vaccines don't stop you catching it or transmitting it
- it can mess with your immune system so you're more likely to catch other things
- vaccinated people can still get Long Covid
- it's not "mild", it's just that the damage is quiet
then even if they hadn't done anything more to address the problem, people would be in a far better position to deploy their own common sense.
And unlike funding or laws, that investment in _knowledge_ is something it would be difficult for Trump's lot to roll back.
But Biden & co chose instead to play down the risks, and explicitly or implicitly mislead people (e.g. the 5-day quarantine, which contradicts the real infectious period).
So, yes it's worse now, but they _contributed_ to how it is now. They chose to encourage misapprehensions and confusion, and the effects of that choice are still playing out now.
Not letting them off the hook on the grounds of being comparatively "less bad", when they themselves laid some of the foundations of the current state of play.
