A nonzero Schwartz function has twelve distinct time-frequency shifts, eleven in one irrational translate of a half-integer lattice plus the origin, that are linearly dependent. The authors also prove a finite counterexample without a fixed twelve-shift count.
In each of dimensions four and five, for every sufficiently small nonzero ε, an explicit smooth odd function on S^(d−1) cannot agree with a linear functional on any rotated normalized A_d root system.

For the spherical perceptron at margin −1 with quadratic penalty, after successive limits in system size, inverse temperature and density approaching the feasibility threshold from above, the gap and force laws have exponents γ=1/(2+θ), with 0.4126930<γ<0.4126934 and 0.4231063<θ<0.4231088. The same limits are claimed for a sufficiently small fixed Gaussian scale mixture.
For a loopless multigraph on 2m vertices with a perfect matching and feasible edge marginals x, the maximum entropy H(x) satisfies F(x)−(2−2/m)B(x)≤H(x)≤F(x), where F and B sum the binary-coordinate entropy terms.
