Do the Lee–Rains–Warnaar vanishing-integral identities for Macdonald polynomials hold beyond the known Schur specialization $q=t$?
In [1], we were able to prove the Schur case of a particular pair of vanishing integrals conjectured by Lee, Rains and Warnaar [3, Conjecture 9.2]. Following the virtual Koornwinder integral approach to Littlewood identities of Rains and Warnaar [6], which he used to prove MacMahon’s conjecture for the generating funct...

Cr \cdot 4n \psir (n) = \sim \sqrt{ } (n + 2r + 1)!(n − r)! n n\pi where Q2r (n) is a polynomial with integer coefficients of degree 2r.

Let $H_{n,\ell}$ count ordered ℓ-tuples of transpositions in $S_n$ whose product is the identity. For $\lambda\vdash n$, let $f_\lambda$ count standard Young tableaux and let $C_\lambda=\sum_{(i,j)\in\lambda}(j-i)$. Give a bijective proof, for all ℓ≥0, of $n!H_{n,\ell}=\sum_{\lambda\vdash n}f_\lambda^2 C_\lambda^\ell$.
Open problem 1. Since Hn,0 = 1, the case ℓ = 0 boils down to showing bijectively that X (3) f\lambda2 = n! \lambda⊢n

One application is an important special case of a famous open question of Lovász [17] from 1969 concerning the Hamiltonicity of a certain class of well-behaved graphs (see e.g., [10] and its references for more background on the problem). Since Cayley graphs are vertex-transitive and none of the five known exceptions i...

Trisection Distance Bounds from Nonseparating Hypersurfaces
Suppose a smooth $4$-manifold $X$ contains a nonseparating $3$-manifold $Y$, and $\Sigma$ is the central surface of a trisection of $X$. Can the topology of $Y$ and the induced loop in the three disk sets be used to bound the trisection distance $d(\Sigma)$ from above?

Does there exist a one-Lipschitz concordance homomorphism $I$ such that the braid quasimorphism $f$ is a real scalar multiple of $I$?
Does there exist a 1-Lipschitz concordance e homomorphism I and r \in R such that f = rI? This theorem in particular answers [HKK+ 20, Question 1.6].

Miyazaki asked if the converse of this fact also holds. In fact, we go one step further and focus on the following stronger conjecture. Involutive knot Floer ho...

For every torsion knot $K$ in the smooth concordance group, is $A(K)=\operatorname{Arf}(K)$?
It is a very interesting question whether the invariant A takes the same value as the Arf invariant, so we leave this as a conjecture. The report passage is retained verbatim as the relevant context for this extracted problem.

Higher Structure Map Criterion for LICCI Ideals
Let $I$ be a perfect codimension-$3$ ideal over a local Gorenstein ring $R$. Is $I$ LICCI if and only if a higher structure map in $W(d_1)$ has a unit entry; and do unit entries in $W(d_2)$ and $W(d_3)$ characterize linkage to ideals with smaller resolution formats?

The LICCI criterion is proved for the smallest previously unknown ADE format and related linkage reductions, while the stated uniform iff conjecture for all codimension-three perfect ideals remains open.

Conjecture 2. Let I be a perfect ideal of codimension 3 over a local Gorenstein ring R. Then I is LICCI if and only if there exists a higher structure map in the representation W (d1 ) whose entry is a unit. Similarly, the existence of a unit in W (d2 ) and W (d3 ) should be equivalent to the fact that I can be linked ...
