Circuit orderability of cographic matroids of complete and complete bipartite graphs PDF · BibTeX · DOI |
Matroid theory, cographic matroids, complete graphs, surface topology | For every integer n >= 4, M*(K_n) is orderable iff n = 4 or n = 6; for all positive integers r,s, M*(K_{r,s}) is orderable iff min(r,s) <= 2. This classifies the two specified families, not all cographic matroids. | v0.1-beta Internally checked preprint; external review pending |

Classification of central graphical zonotopal algebras PDF · BibTeX · DOI |
Zonotopal algebras, graphical matroids, matroid reconstruction, Cyclic flats, SPQR decomposition | Classifies central graphical zonotopal algebras of all finite connected loopless multigraphs over the real numbers by their bridge-deleted graphical matroids, without requiring grading-preserving isomorphisms.

Entries are research records, not automatically peer-reviewed publications. Each directory states its own claim and status. The labels used here mean:
- Exploration: an investigated direction without a retained theorem claim.
- Candidate result: a precise claim with supporting argument or evidence, still undergoing internal checks.
- Internally verified: the written proof and supplied computations have passed the repository's internal checks; independent mathematical review may still be pending.
- Externally reviewed: outside mathematical feedback has been received and its disposition is recorded by the entry.
Corrections, counterexamples, equivalent prior results, and independent reproductions are welcome. A status label is a record of the review stage, not a substitute for reading the proof.
Each research topic lives under research/ in its own directory.
An entry may contain a focused README, manuscript and source, verification
programs, generated evidence, checksums, and entry-specific licensing.
