Extending single-minus amplitudes to gravitons

Researchers used GPT‑5.2 Pro to help find a new mathematical result describing how particles can interact in quantum gravity. We’ve published a new preprint studying scattering amplitudes in quantum gravity, extending recent results obtained for gluons to the gravitational setting. The work shows that a class of graviton interactions long assumed to vanish can in fact arise under well-defined ...

Flip Distance of Convex Triangulations and Tree Rotation Is NP-Complete

https://arxiv.org/static/browse/0.3.4/images/arxiv-logo-fb.png
Flips in triangulations of convex polygons arise in many different settings. They are isomorphic to rotations in binary trees, define edges in the 1-skeleton of the Associahedron and cover relations in the Tamari Lattice. The complexity of determining the minimum number of flips that transform one triangulation of a convex point set into another remained a tantalizing open question for many ...
