Beyond Alternating Permutations: Pattern Avoidance in Young Diagrams and Tableaux
By: Nihal Gowravaram and Ravi Jagadeesan
We investigate pattern avoidance in alternating permutations and generalizations thereof. First, we study pattern avoidance in an alternating analogue of Young diagrams. In particular, we extend Babson-West’s notion of shape-Wilf equivalence to apply to alternating... View Details

Hinged Dissections Exist
By: Timothy G. Abbott, Zachary Abel, David Charlton, Erik D. Demaine, Martin L. Demaine and Scott Duke Kominers
We prove that any finite collection of polygons of equal area has a common hinged dissection. That is, for any such collection of polygons there exists a chain of polygons hinged at vertices that can be folded in the plane continuously without self-intersection to form... View Details

Configurations of Extremal Even Unimodular Lattices
We extend the results of Ozeki on the configurations of extremal even unimodular lattices. Specifically, we show that if L is such a lattice of rank 56, 72, or 96, then L is generated by its minimal-norm vectors. View Details

On the Classification of Type II Codes of Length 24
By: Noam D. Elkies and Scott Duke Kominers
We give a new, purely coding-theoretic proof of Koch's criterion on the tetrad systems of Type II codes of length 24 using the theory of harmonic weight enumerators. This approach is inspired by Venkov's approach to the classification of the root systems of Type II... View Details

Further Improvements of Lower Bounds for the Least Common Multiples of Arithmetic Progressions
By: Shaofang Hong and Scott Duke Kominers
For relatively prime positive integers u_0 and r, we consider the arithmetic progression {u_k := u_0+k*r} (0 <= k <= n). Define L_n := lcm{u_0,u_1,...,u_n} and let a >= 2 be any integer. In this paper, we show that, for integers alpha,r >= a and n >=... View Details
