Population Interference in Panel Experiments
By: Iavor I Bojinov, Kevin Wu Han and Guillaume Basse
The phenomenon of population interference, where a treatment assigned to one experimental unit affects another experimental unit's outcome, has received considerable attention in standard randomized experiments. The complications produced by population interference in... View Details

Prisoners, Rooms, and Lightswitches
By: Daniel M. Kane and Scott Duke Kominers
We examine a new variant of the classic prisoners and lightswitches puzzle: A warden leads his n prisoners in and out of r rooms, one at a time, in some order, with each prisoner eventually visiting every room an arbitrarily large number of times. The... View Details

Configurations of Extremal Type II Codes via Harmonic Weight Enumerators
By: Noam D. Elkies and Scott Duke Kominers
We prove configuration results for extremal Type II codes, analogous to the configuration results of Ozeki and of the second author for extremal Type II lattices. Specifically, we show that for n ∈{8,24,32,48,56,72,96} every extremal Type II code of length n is... View Details

A New Proof of Serre's Homological Characterization of Regular Local Rings
By: Ravi Jagadeesan and Aaron Landesman
We give a new proof of Serre’s result that a Noetherian local ring is regular if and only if it has finite global dimension. Our proof avoids the explicit construction of a Koszul complex. View Details

A New Gal(ℚ^⎯/ℚ)-invariant of Dessins d'enfants
By: Ravi Jagadeesan
We study the action of Gal(ℚ^⎯/ℚ) on the category of Belyĭ functions (finite étale covers of ℙ^1_(ℚ^⎯) \ {0,1,∞}. We describe a new combinatorial Gal(ℚ^⎯/ℚ)‐invariant for Belyĭ functions whose monodromy cycle types above 0 and ∞ are the same. We use a version of our... View Details

Ascent-Descent Young Diagrams and Pattern Avoidance in Alternating Permutations
By: Ravi Jagadeesan
We investigate pattern avoidance in alternating permutations and an alternating analogue of Young diagrams. In particular, using an extension of Babson and West’s notion of shape-Wilf equivalence described in our recent paper (with N. Gowravaram), we generalize results... View Details

Weighted Generating Functions for Type II Lattices and Codes

We give a new structural development of harmonic polynomials on Hamming space, and harmonic weight enumerators of binary linear codes, that parallels one approach to harmonic polynomials on Euclidean space and weighted theta functions of Euclidean lattices. Namely, we... View Details

Asymptotic Improvements of Lower Bounds for the Least Common Multiples of Arithmetic Progressions
By: Daniel M. Kane and Scott Duke Kominers
For relatively prime positive integers and r, we consider the least common multiple L_n:=\mathop{\textrm{lcm}}(u_0,u_1,\dots, u_n) of the finite arithmetic progression \{u_k:=u_0+kr\}_{k=0}^n. We derive new lower bounds on L_n that improve upon those obtained... View Details
