Abstract

This paper develops a compact, size-aware blueprint for transferring structure through gadget lifts. Two low-order invariants -- cumulative mod-$q$ Fourier mass up to degree $k$ and noise stability $\mathrm{Stab}_\rho$ -- are treated as a reusable "profile" tied to the gadget's affine interface. Under coordinate permutations ($\Delta=1$) the profile is preserved exactly; under bounded fan-in the degree budget relaxes by at most $+\Delta k$ (i.e., $k \mapsto k + \Delta k$), with all overheads tracked explicitly. In a balanced window $m=(1+\gamma)n$ the framework yields a distributional lower bound for a monotone cost (Erasure Complexity, EC) and an "echo" to correlation against size-aware $\mathrm{AC}^0{+}\log$ and to logarithmic degree in the polynomial-calculus setting. The accounting keeps total-variation non-expansion and a single $O(\log N)$ prefix-free header visible end to end, avoiding hidden slack.

The Computational Complexity of Holant Problems on 4-regular Graphs from the Stable Subgroup Sequence of $SL(2,\mathbb{C})$

The Holant framework provides a general setting for studying counting problems and includes graph homomorphisms (\#GH) and counting constraint satisfaction problems (\#CSP) as special cases. Over the past twenty years, a series of computational complexity dichotomies have been established for Holant problems, but the classification for complex-valued signatures is still open. The main obstacle is the case in which all signatures have even arity. In this paper, we establish a dichotomy for Holant problems with a complex-valued 4-ary signature, which is a key base case for the full classification of Holant problems. We present a new strategy by introducing Schur's theorem, the classification of finite subgroups of $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{C})$ and stable subgroup sequences into the proof. These new techniques are of independent interest.

Max Independent Set Remains NP-hard when Excluding a Planar Induced Minor

We show that there is a fixed planar graph $H$, namely the $5 \times 5$ grid, such that Max Independent Set remains NP-hard in $H$-induced-minor-free graphs. This refutes the Dallard--Milani\v{c}--\v{S}torgel conjecture and a weakening of it by Gartland and Lokshtanov, and by Korhonen.

Topology inside NC$^1$

We show that ACC$^0$ is precisely what can be computed with constant-width circuits of polynomial size and polylogarithmic genus. This extends a characterization given by Hansen, showing that planar constant-width circuits also characterize ACC$^0$. Thus polylogarithmic genus provides no additional computational power in this model. We consider other generalizations of planarity, including crossing number and thickness. We show that constant-width circuits of polynomial size and thickness two already suffice to capture all of NC$^1$.
