Rigidity and arithmetic of lattice von Neumann algebras

Classifies finite-index bimodules between scalar-twisted group factors of ICC groups commensurable with property-(T)(T) lattices over characteristic-zero local fields and arbitrary ICC group factors. Every such bimodule is a summand of finite sums of models arising from finite-index subgroup isomorphisms and finite-dimensional projective representations. The classification also recovers the group, scalar cocycle and amplification scale up to the stated stable equivalence.

Polynomial-time unitary synthesis from a Boolean oracle

Solves the constant-error Aaronson–Kuperberg unitary synthesis problem: a uniform polynomial-size quantum oracle circuit approximates every n-qubit unitary channel within diamond-norm error 1/2, after a suitable Boolean oracle is chosen. Gates, qubits, oracle calls and query length are polynomially bounded. The target-dependent oracle may have an unrestricted truth table; its efficient classical construction is not asserted.

From scale symmetry to local conformal symmetry in four-dimensional QFT

Under the stated bounded-local-net and field-reconstruction hypotheses, proves that scale symmetry implies local conformal symmetry for four-dimensional unitary positive-energy theories with a discrete bounded-below scaling spectrum of finite multiplicity, finite scaling support and a physical local scale current. The stress tensor has a traceless improvement with unchanged spacetime charges. The conclusion concerns local Ward identities, not a global conformal action on the whole net.

QAOA attains the SK optimum in the thermodynamic-first limit

Proves that QAOA approaches the ground-state energy of the Gaussian zero-field Sherrington–Kirkpatrick model when system size tends to infinity before circuit depth. For every accuracy, finite depth and deterministic angles independent of size and disorder achieve the required limiting expected energy per spin. This also yields leading-order optimal expected MaxCut values on large-degree random regular graphs, with size tending to infinity before degree.

Unitary vertex operator algebras and conformal nets

Proves the strongly rational case of the strong-locality conjecture: every simple unitary strongly rational complex vertex operator algebra generates a completely rational conformal net. Its simple modules are unitarizable, and its representation category agrees with the net’s finite-index sectors as a braided unitary tensor category.

Threshold repetition for entangled games

Proves exponential threshold repetition for every finite two-player one-round game: if its entangled value is v < 1, the probability of winning at least a fraction v+δv+\delta of k independent repetitions decays exponentially in k, for 0<δ<1−v0\lt \delta\lt 1-v. Arbitrary joint finite-dimensional entangled strategies and correlated question distributions are allowed.

Classical capacity of generalized amplitude damping

Determines the unassisted classical capacity of every qubit generalized amplitude-damping channel, including all damping and thermal parameters. An explicit one-variable optimization gives the capacity, attained by independent two-state signal ensembles with collective decoding. Holevo capacity, minimum output entropy and regularized classical capacity are additive when tensoring with any finite-dimensional quantum channel.

QMA-hardness of continuum Coulomb energy

Proves QMA-hardness of approximating the electronic Coulomb energy infimum in three dimensions, minimizing over the full spinful fermionic continuum space. Deterministic polynomial-time reductions work even with only unit-charge nuclei at distinct rational positions, polynomially many electrons and an energy-threshold separation of at least one.

Parity is not in QAC0

Resolves Moore's parity conjecture in the measured-output model: constant-depth quantum circuits with arbitrary one-qubit gates, unbounded-arity Toffoli gates and polynomially many total qubits cannot compute parity with any fixed positive worst-case advantage. Ancillas start in zero, one output qubit is measured, and all other registers may be discarded. Xu–Li's reductions give the same bounded-error obstruction for strict majority.

The entropy photon-number inequality

Proves the entropy photon-number inequality for beam-splitter mixing of two independent finite-energy bosonic inputs in any finite number of modes: the output's entropy photon number is at least the transmissivity-weighted average of the inputs'. Arbitrary entanglement within each input is allowed, and product thermal inputs attain equality even when their entropies differ.

Bloch's law, its lattice correction, and the spherical magnetization law

Proves Bloch's T3/2 law with its exact coefficient for three-dimensional quantum Heisenberg ferromagnets at every positive quantum spin, allowing nonnegative symmetric finite-range couplings whose support generates ℤ3. The thermodynamic limit precedes the zero-field derivative and low-temperature limit. The family also proves spontaneous magnetization for nearest-neighbor models in every dimension d ≥ 3 and determines the first lattice correction for three-dimensional nearest-neighbor couplings.

Proves the fermionic Laughlin spectral-gap conjecture for the full V1 interaction at filling 1/3 on the round sphere.

Positive-temperature Bose–Einstein condensation and exact quantum depletion

Proves Bose–Einstein condensation for the exact canonical Gibbs state of the three-dimensional hard-sphere gas: each fixed exclusion distance and sufficiently small fixed density admit a strictly positive temperature, independent of volume, with positive condensate fraction in the thermodynamic limit. At zero temperature, proves the Bogoliubov leading quantum-depletion law for hard spheres and fixed bounded nonnegative radial finite-range potentials of positive scattering length, taking the thermodynamic limit before the dilute limit.

Proves local strong cosmic censorship near each fixed rotating subextremal Kerr bridge. A dense Gδ subset of a weighted smooth neighborhood of smooth complete two-ended asymptotically flat vacuum data has full maximal globally hyperbolic developments with no future continuous nondegenerate extension whose weak connection is locally square-integrable. No symmetry is imposed; extensions need not satisfy the vacuum equations.

The ionization and generalized ionization conjectures

For the full nonrelativistic Coulomb model with two electron spin states, proves that a molecule with M fixed nuclei of charges at least one and total charge Z strictly binds at most Z+CMZ+CM electrons. Neutral-atom first ionization energies and radii containing all but an expected half-electron have universal positive upper and lower bounds. The energy cost of removing m electrons has Thomas–Fermi asymptotics as m→∞m\to\infty and Z/m→∞Z/m\to\infty; neutral-atom outer radii have the corresponding iterated-limit asymptotics, taking Z→∞Z\to\infty first.

All equality cases are direct sums, in one constant unitary basis, of scalar sech2 solitons with independent scales and centers, and zero channels.

Resolves the predicted spectral contrast for the lattice Anderson model with independent uniform site potentials.

Spacetime Penrose inequalities: enclosing area, charge, rotation, and anti-de Sitter extensions

Proves the sharp enclosing-area spacetime Penrose inequality for smooth one-ended asymptotically flat initial data in every spatial dimension n ≥ 3, under dominant energy, weak future trapping, positive enclosing area, and the stated decay assumptions. It bounds invariant ADM mass below using minimum enclosing area, with equality rigidity under additional horizon hypotheses. Charged upper-area bounds treat dyonic three-dimensional data; the higher-dimensional purely electric extension uses the matched neutral theorem.

Amenability, unitarizability, and strong Ulam stability

Resolves Dixmier's problem for all discrete groups: amenability is equivalent to every uniformly bounded Hilbert-space representation being similar to a unitary representation. For countable discrete groups, amenability is also equivalent to strong Ulam stability: sufficiently accurate unitary approximate representations are uniformly close in operator norm to genuine representations on the same, possibly infinite-dimensional, Hilbert space.

The Partition Principle does not imply Choice

Assuming ZF is consistent, constructs a model in which every surjective image of a set injects into that set, yet the axiom of choice fails. Choice for ordinal-indexed families still holds. From any countable transitive model of ZFC, a separate construction gives a transitive symmetric extension with these properties and no new countable sequences of ground-model elements.

Separating choiceless counting from polynomial time and witnessed choice

Confirms the Blass–Gurevich–Shelah noncapture conjecture: consistency of a linear system over 𝔽3 defines a polynomial-time query on unordered finite structures that choiceless polynomial time with counting cannot express. A separate result shows that adding witnessed symmetric choice strictly increases expressive power. Both separations hold for the full counting formalism, allowing hereditarily finite sets of arbitrary finite rank.
