An Improved Lower Bound for the Complex Grothendieck Constant

We prove $K_G^{\mathbb{C}}>1.35584631827168$ for the classical complex Grothendieck constant, closing more than one quarter of the gap between Davie's lower bound and Haagerup's upper bound. The numerical part of the proof is rigorously verified by interval arithmetic. The lower bound and the proof were discovered by t...

Vector Balancing in Polynomial Time

The Koml\'os problem asks for signs $\varepsilon\in\{-1,1\}^n$ with $\|A\varepsilon\|_\infty$ bounded by an absolute constant whenever the columns of $A\in\mathbb R^{m\times n}$ have Euclidean norm at most $1$. We give the first polynomial-time algorithm for this problem in the unit-cost real-RAM model. Our determinist...

Weak-Type Bounds for Convolution on the Boolean Hypercube

Let $G$ be the Boolean hypercube which carries uniform measure $\lambda$, and let $T_\mu$ denote convolution by a finite positive measure $\mu$ on $G$. For $\psi_\mu(u)=\sup\{u\lambda(\{T_\mu f\geq u\}):f\geq 0,\|f\|_1=1\},$ we prove Talagrand's convolution conjecture (Talagrand, 1989): if $\mu_a=((1+a)\delta_1/2+(1-a)...

Vector Balancing via Directional Total Variation

Every finite family of real vectors of Euclidean norm at most one admits a signed sum of $\ell_\infty$-norm less than this constant, independently of the dimension and the family size.

Optimal Value Inference for Reinforcement Learning

Two new nuisances are derived as fixed points of a self-induced Bellman equation, in which they approximate the maximum Bellman operator by its softmax correspondence, and a debiased estimator is proposed through the Neyman orthogonality and established its asymptotic normality under diverging horizons.

A Metric with Positive Sectional Curvature on $S^2\times S^3$

We prove that $S^2\times S^3$ admits a Riemannian metric with positive sectional curvature. We view it as a principal circle bundle over $S^2\times S^2$. A diagonal Cheeger deformation of the base and a connection whose curvature form vanishes on the remaining flat tori yield a nonnegatively curved connection metric wh...
