We study weighted periodic-orbit zeta functions for an infinitely cusped tree lattice $Y_q$, where $q\ge2$ is even and the quotient is a one-sided comb. The global Euler product fails coefficientwise because infinitely many primitive cycles have length four. A first-return determinant at a finite directed-edge set nevertheless exists, and stationary Schur elimination gives an algebraic formula for the root local zeta and its dominant poles. For the two-step multiplicity potential we compute the Gurevich pressure $P_G=2\log(q+1)$ and pressure at infinity $P_\infty=\log(4q)$, yielding strong positive recurrence and exponential local-orbit asymptotics. The height-damped transition operator is trace class. After subtraction of an explicit integrated-pressure counterterm, the inverse Fredholm determinant has a locally uniform finite part, expressed by a convergent dilogarithmic product and covariant under changes of height.
Restriction to the full cusp divisor of a modular curve defines a secondary invariant whose rational indeterminacy comes from a single global modular form. For every integral weakly holomorphic level-one modular form $h$ of weight divisible by four, we prove that the imported value $[h/2]$ vanishes at every nontrivial...
We give an all-level proof of the four-point $SU(2)$ AGT correspondence with four fundamental hypermultiplets at generic $\beta=-\epsilon_1/\epsilon_2$, by proving an all-level factorization formula for Selberg averages of generalized Jack polynomials. Taking a coefficientwise Jack limit of the generalized Macdonald Pi...
We prove that broad families of finite Dirichlet sums exhibit deterministic concentration of normalized vertical zero density on a single line. The main result gives a general criterion under which the normalized Jessen potentials converge locally uniformly to a piecewise-linear convex function with a single corner. Th...
We study finite-fibre determinants for rational Bishop operators and their role in cyclicity for irrational parameters. The paper has two main parts. First, for the constant vector $f=1$, a resultant identity and a discrete Fourier factorization reveal a determinant parity mechanism for general modular orbit order: odd...
We study root-of-unity sections of quotients formed from dilated Euler products. At the boundary point \(q=1\), odd sections tend to nonzero cyclotomic constants, whereas even sections have infinitely many simple real poles. We determine the locations, spacing, and residues of all sufficiently late poles. In the cubic...
We study the right derivative of the zeta-star correspondence between binary expansions and multiple zeta-star values of infinite depth. At a finite-index point, this derivative is a normalized difference of two finite-depth multiple zeta-star values. We use this identity to express its local behavior in terms of lower...

Biology doesn't operate in silos, and neither should the AI representation of it. Quine is an early-stage research effort to create a multimodal world model of biology. By connecting insights across biological scales and modalities, Quine helps scientists computationally search a space far larger than intuition allows and prioritize hypotheses before they reach the lab. Experimental results provide important feedback, helping researchers sharpen future research directions. The post Introducing Q…
