- Let G=F_2^4 act by XOR and H={0,...,7}. Every H-invariant 113-block covering necessarily splits the full G-orbit {H,H+8}, and its translation stabilizer is exactly H. If the covering is irredundant, it must also split at least one full G-orbit of size 8 or 16.
- For G=F_2^4 and H={0,...,7}, an H-invariant family D has translation stabilizer exactly H if it partially selects any full G-orbit; otherwise its translation stabilizer is G. Every partially selected orbit is half selected, and every odd-sized D must split the orbit {H,H xor 8}, so any H-invariant 113-block covering has exact translation stabilizer H.
- The exact VPV question is recorded as Carmosino's open problem in Oberwolfach Reports 15/2024. Chen, Li and Oliveira independently pose the polynomial-exponent nondeterministic hierarchy question for PV_1 and identify alternative hierarchy proofs relevant to formalization.
- Every binary 16-divisible code of effective length 46 or 74 has only even column multiplicities and maximum column multiplicity at least 16, without any dimension restriction. In fact, Gamma_2(16,46)=Gamma_2(16,74)=16. This replaces both computer-classification inputs in C-15 by a theoretical argument and answers Q-67 affirmatively.
- A published survey provides a useful reference for natural-enzyme efficiency: median kcat/KM was about 10^5 M^-1 s^-1 and median kcat about 10 s^-1. These are population benchmarks, so reaction-specific comparisons remain necessary.
- Every finite-volume hyperbolic Coxeter group acting on H^2 or H^3 has a Perron growth rate with respect to its facet reflections. Compact cases have Salem growth or reciprocal quadratic-unit growth; noncompact finite-area planar cases have Pisot growth.
- No binary-additive F_8 code of length 88, size 256, and minimum distance at least 77 exists. The obstruction follows from the published classification of binary 16-divisible codes of effective length 77, whose relevant classes are explicitly exhausted below. Together with C-15, this gives n_2(8,3;11)=87.
- Absorber additives and ion-blocking contacts have demonstrated stability benefits. Quantifying those benefits requires distinguishing open-circuit ageing, operation near maximum power, scanned efficiency and stabilized power output.
- If Q-66 has a solution, it has a realization by 120 three-dimensional coordinate subspaces whose defect multiset T is 16-divisible, has length 105, maximum multiplicity at most 15, and span dimension 7 or 8. Every point belongs to at most four coordinate subspaces, and T has an 8-divisible hyperplane section of length 41.
- Bauer–Blachar–Greenfeld provide an algebraic characterization of rank stability using a definition that permits changing matrix dimension. Their July 2025 text explicitly records unrestricted free-abelian rank stability as open.
- Heavy-tailed frequencies of discrete features or skills provide another explicit mechanism for power-law learning curves. These models are useful controlled baselines, but applying them to realistic networks requires validating the assumed feature frequencies, learning thresholds and capacity costs.
- Solvable random-feature models derive loss and compute-allocation exponents from spectral properties, and training dynamics introduce distinctions absent from fully optimized learning curves. Published SGD analyses exhibit multiple compute-optimal regimes, so equal parameter/data allocation is not universal even within tractable models.
- Minimizing aggregate boundary scores over nonnegative density factor orientations can increase the worst signed overlap. An exact rational example on 8, 128 and 256 cells improves every proper prefix/suffix imbalance and minimizes both the sum and maximum of the proper boundary envelope, yet raises the worst overlap by 1/120. Pointwise reduction of the retained boundary envelope guarantees nonincrease; exact optimization includes lag-dependent autocorrelation offsets.
- The fixed-height 8-interval chamber LP can be implemented and reproduced using exact rational arithmetic. For the explicit input below, its unique chamber optimum is 499/1112, attained at interval widths (34,34,39,32,32,39,25,43)/139. This is a certified implementation example; it does not improve the published bounds for the unrestricted Erdős minimum-overlap constant.
- The established literature provides exact comparator-size optima through 12 inputs, SAT-based symmetry reductions, certified exhaustive-search methods, and techniques for optimizing larger networks. The relevant papers also distinguish optimal comparator size from optimal depth, an essential distinction when seeking improvements for 13 or more channels.
- Kiermaier-Kurz and Körner-Kurz provide published feasibility tests and classifications for divisible codes that are relevant to additive-code upper bounds. Körner-Kurz contains the classification tables pertinent to the already supplied claim C-15.
- Kurz's published work gives additive quaternary codes with parameters [33,4,24], [36,4,26], and [40,4,29], each containing 4^4 codewords. The maximum distances of F_4-linear codes with the corresponding lengths and dimension 4 are 23, 25, and 28, respectively, so these are established finite-distance separations at equal length and cardinality.
- A classical finite-packing inequality yields explicit general upper bounds for equal-circle packing in a square, while Khajavirad (2024) determines exact values of two particular semidefinite relaxations. Together these give a rigorous bound and a precise explanation of why those two relaxation models remain weak for large n.
- The Formal Conjectures project paper is a direct reference for the repository and task design described in P-erdos-problems-lean. It explains why a remaining sorry may represent either an open mathematical question or a known theorem whose formal proof is hosted elsewhere.
