The implications are interesting enough when we apply this to systems like capitalism or national governments, but there are other very interesting implications when applied to systems like race or gender.
Like, as a cis man the only way I can be free to express and explore my own masculinity is if the masculinity I participate in is one which allows anyone the freedom to leave. Then I have an obligation to recognize the validity of nom-masculine trans identity as a necessary component of my own. If I fail to do this, then I trap myself in masculinity and allow the system to control me rather than me to be a free participant in the system.
But if it's OK to escape but not enter, that's it's own restriction that constrains the freedom to leave. It creates a barrier that keeps people in by the fear that they cannot return. So in order for me to be free in my cis masculine identity, I must accept non-masculine trans identities as they are and accept detransitioning as also valid.
But I also need to accept trans-masc identities because restricting entry to my masculinity means non-consensually constraining other identities. If every group imposes an exclusion against others coming in, that, by default, makes it impossible to leave every other group. This is just a description of how national borders work to trap people within systems, even if a nation itself allows people to "freely" leave.
So then, a free masculinity is one which recognizes all configurations of trans identities as valid and welcomes, if not celebrates, people who transition as affirmations of the freedom of their own identity (even for those who never feel a reason to exercise that same freedom).
The most irritating type of white person may look at this and say, "oh, so then why can't I be <not white>?" Except that the critique of transratial identities has never been "that's not allowed" and has always been "this person didn't do the work." If that person did the work, they would understand that the question doesn't make sense based on how race is constructed. That person might understand that race, especially whiteness, is more fluid than they at first understood. They might realize that whiteness is often chosen at the exclusion of other racialized identities. They would, perhaps, realize that to actually align with any racialized identity, they would first have to understand the boot of whiteness on their neck, have to recognize the need to destroy this oppressive identity for their own future liberation. The best, perhaps only, way to do this would be to use the privilege afforded by that identity to destroy it, and in doing so would either destroy their own privilege or destroy the system of privilege. The must either become themselves completely ratialized or destroy the system of race itself such being "transracial" wouldn't really make sense anymore.
But that most annoying of white person would, of course, not do any such work. Nevertheless, one hopes that they may recognize the paradox that they are trapped by their white identity, forced forever by it to do the work of maintaining it. And such is true for all privileged identities, where privilege is only maintained through restrictions where these restrictions ultimately become walls that imprison both the privileged and the marginalized in a mutually reinforcing hell that can only be escaped by destroying the system of privilege itself.

Bounded Littlewood identities with fixed number of odd rows or odd columns
A Littlewood identity is an identity equating a sum of Schur functions with an infinite product. A bounded Littlewood identity is one where the sum is taken over the partitions with a bounded number of rows or columns. The price to pay is that the infinite product has to be replaced by a determinant. The focus of this article is on refinements of such bounded Littlewood identities where one also prescribes the number of odd-length rows or columns of the partitions. Goulden [{\it Discrete Math.}…

There and Back Again: Bulk-to-Defect via Ward Identities
In conformal field theory, the presence of a defect partially breaks the global symmetry, giving rise to defect operators such as the tilts. In this work, we derive integral identities that relate correlation functions involving bulk and defect operators -- including tilts -- to lower-point bulk-defect correlators, based on a detailed analysis of the Lie algebra of the symmetry group before and after the defect-induced symmetry breaking. As explicit examples, we illustrate these identities for …

Day 19 (a bit late): Alice Oseman
As I said I've got 14 authors to fit into two days. Probably just going to extend to 30? But Oseman gets this spot as an absolute legend of queer fiction in both novel & graphic novel form, and an excellent example of the many truths queer writers have to share with non-queer people that can make everyone's lives better. Her writing is very kind, despite in many instances dealing with some dark stuff.
I started out on Heartstopper, which is just so lovely and fun to read, and then made my way through several of her novels. The one I'll highlight here which I think it's her greatest triumph is "Loveless", which is semi-autobiographical and was at least my first (but no longer only) experience with the "platonic romance" sub-genre. It not only helped me work through some crufty internal doubts about aro/ace identities that I'd never really examined, but in the process helped improve my understanding of friendship, period. Heck, it's probably a nice novel for anyone questioning any sort of identity or dealing with loneliness, and it's just super-enjoyable as a story regardless of the philosophical value.
To cheat a bit more here on my author count, I recently read "Dear Wendy" by Ann Zhao, which shouts out "Loveless" and offers a more expository exploration of aro/ace identities, but "Loveless" is a book with more heart and better writing overall, including the neat plotting and great pacing. I think there are also parallels with Becky Albertalli's work, though I think I like Oseman slightly more. Certainly both excel at writing queer romance (and romance-adjacent) stuff with happy endings (#OwnVoices wins again with all three authors).
In any case, Oseman is excellent and if you're not up for reading a novel, Heartstopper is a graphic novel series that's easy to jump into and very kind to its adorable main characters.
I think I've now decided to continue to 30, which is a relief, so I'm tagging this (and the next post that rounds out 20) two ways.

Thin Trees via $k$-Respecting Cut Identities
Thin spanning trees lie at the intersection of graph theory, approximation algorithms, and combinatorial optimization. They are central to the long-standing \emph{thin tree conjecture}, which asks whether every $k$-edge-connected graph contains an $O(1/k)$-thin tree, and they underpin algorithmic breakthroughs such as the $O(\log n/\log\log n)$-approximation for ATSP. Yet even the basic algorithmic task of \emph{verifying} that a given tree is thin has remained elusive: checking thinness requir…

In conformal field theory, the insertion of a defect breaks part of the global symmetry and gives rise to defect operators such as the tilts and displacements. We establish identities relating the integrated four-point functions of such operators to their two-point functions, derived both from the geometric properties of the defect conformal manifold, which is the symmetry-breaking coset, and from the Lie algebra of the corresponding broken symmetry generators.

The so-called connections are just distractions, echoes bouncing off empty walls, and the identities online slip through like smoke dissolving before you even…

Wronskians as $N$-ary brackets in finite-dimensional analogues of $sl(2)$
The Wronskian determinants (for coefficients of higher-order differential operators on the affine real line or circle) satisfy the table of Jacobi-type quadratic identities for strong homotopy Lie algebras -- i.e. for a particular case of $L_\infty$-deformations -- for the Lie algebra of vector fields on that one-dimensional affine manifold. We show that the standard realisation of $\mathfrak{sl}(2)$ by quadratic-coefficient vector fields is the bottom structure in a sequence of finite-dimensio…

Equal knapsack identities between symmetric group character degrees
We prove a series of ``knapsack'' type equalities for irreducible character degrees of symmetric groups. That is, we find disjoint subsets of the partitions of $n$ so that the two corresponding character-degree sums are equal. Our main result refines our recent description of the Riordan numbers as the sum of all character degrees $f^λ$ where $λ$ is a partition of $n$ into three parts of the same parity. In particular, the sum of the ``fat-hook'' degrees $f^{(k,k,1^{n-2k})}+f^{(k+1,k+1,1^{n-2…

An Elementary Proof of the Nonexistence of Tarski Monster Groups of Exponent 3
It is well known that Tarski monster groups of exponent~3 do not exist. Traditional proofs rely on deep structural results, such as the restricted Burnside problem, properties of the free Burnside group, or Engel-type identities, and involve substantial technical computations. In this note we give a fully elementary proof: the argument reduces to a single simple identity, expressed as a key equation, whose verification requires only a brief calculation.

Conformal four-point ladder integrals in diverse dimensions and polylogarithms
In the paper, the family of conformal four-point ladder diagrams in arbitrary space-time dimensions is considered. We use the representation obtained via explicit calculation using the operator approach and conformal quantum mechanics to study their properties, such as symmetries, loop and dimensional shift identities. In even integer dimensions, latter allows one to reduce the problem to two-dimensional case, where the notable factorization holds. Additionally, for a specific choice of propaga…

On the Combinatorial Core of Second-Order Quantum Argument Shifts in $U\mathfrak{gl}_d$
We provide a complete, self-contained proof that reduces second-order generators of the quantum argument-shift algebra in the universal enveloping algebra $U\mathfrak{gl}_d$. We prove the necessary combinatorial identities -- expressed as relations among polynomials with rational coefficients -- by induction.

On the Invariant and Geometric Structure of the Holomorphic Unified Field Theory
We present the invariant structure of a Holomorphic Unified Field Theory in which gravity and gauge interactions arise from a single geometric framework. The theory is formulated on a product principal bundle, with one connection, and curvature equipped with a Hermitian field on a complexification of spacetime. From a single Diff(M) $\times$ G-invariant action, variation yields the Einstein and Yang-Mills equations together with their paired Bianchi identities. A compatibility condition is impl…

Evaluation of lattice sums via telescoping over topographs
Topographs, introduced by Conway in 1997, are infinite trivalent planar trees used to visualize the values of binary quadratic forms. In this work, we study series whose terms are indexed by the vertices of a topograph and show that they can be evaluated using telescoping sums over its edges. Our technique provides arithmetic proofs for modular graph function identities arising in string theory, yields alternative derivations of Hurwitz-style class number formulas, and provides a unified fram…

Euler-type Recurrence Relation for Arbitrary Arithmetical Function
An interplay between the Lambert series and Euler's Pentagonal Number Theorem gives an Euler-type recurrence relation for any given arithmetical function. As consequences of this, we present Euler-type recurrence relations for some well-known arithmetic functions. Furthermore, we derive Euler-type recurrence relations for certain partition functions and sum-of-divisors functions using infinite product identities of Jacobi and Gauss.

Congruences Relating Regular Partition Functions, a Genearalised Tau Function and Partition Function Weighted Composition Sums

Congruences Relating Regular Partition Functions, a Genearalised Tau Function and Partition Function Weighted Composition Sums
Let $n$ and $t$ be positive integers with $t\geq 2$. Let $R_t(n)$ be the number of $t$-regular partitions of $n$. A class of functions, denoted $τ_k(n)$, is defined as follows: \[q\prod_{m=1}^{\infty}(1-q^m)^k=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}τ_k(n)q^n, \] where $k$ is an integer. We express $τ_k(n)$ as a binomial coefficient weighted partition sum. Consequently, we obtain congruence identities that relate $τ_k(n)$, $R_t(n)$ and partition function weighted composition sums.

The Number of Parts in the (Distinct) Partitions With Parts From a Set
The number of parts in the partitions (resp. distinct partitions) of $n$ with parts from a set were considered. Its generating functions were obtained. Consequently, we derive several recurrence identities for the following functions: the number of prime divisors of $n$, $p$-adic valuation of $n$, the number of Carlitz-binary compositions of $n$ and the Hamming weight function. Finally, we obtain an asymptotic estimate for the number of parts in the partitions of $n$ with parts from a finite se…
