Modular Nahm sums for symmetrizable matrices of indices (2,,2,1)({2,\ldots, 2},1) and (1,,1,2)({1,\ldots, 1},2)

This paper presents three families of modular Nahm sums for symmetrizable matrices of indices (2,,2,1)({2,\ldots, 2},1) and (1,,1,2)({1,\ldots, 1},2) with arbitrary rank r2r\geq 2, extending previous results for low ranks and utilizing these families to construct two vector-valued automorphic forms.

When Many Trees Go to War: On Sets of Phylogenetic Trees With Almost No Common Structure

This paper establishes that for a set of tt phylogenetic trees with nn leaves, if tt is sufficiently small (specifically to(lgn)t \in o(\sqrt{\lg n})), the trees can be constructed to have virtually no common structure, thereby forcing any network displaying them to require nearly the maximum possible number of reticulations, (t1)no(n)(t-1)n - o(n).

Suns in triangle-free graphs of large chromatic number

This paper proves that every triangle-free graph with sufficiently large chromatic number contains an induced subgraph that is either a tt-sun for some large tt or a $4sunwithonependantvertexremoved,therebymakingsignificantprogressonTrotignonsopenquestionregardingtheexistenceof-sun with one pendant vertex removed, thereby making significant progress on Trotignon's open question regarding the existence of t$-suns in such graphs.
