# An Overview of Penumbral Moonshine

no code yet • 20 Sep 2021

As Mathieu moonshine is a special case of umbral moonshine, Thompson moonshine (in half-integral weight) is a special case of a family of similar relationships between finite groups and vector-valued modular forms of a certain kind.

# Khovanov-Lipshitz-Sarkar homotopy type for links in thickened surfaces and those in $S^3$ with new modulis

no code yet • 19 Sep 2021

We define a family of Khovanov-Lipshitz-Sarkar stable homotopy types for the homotopical Khovanov homology of links in thickened surfaces indexed by moduli space systems.

# Linear independence of odd zeta values using Siegel's lemma

no code yet • 21 Sep 2021

We prove that among 1 and the odd zeta values $\zeta(3)$, $\zeta(5)$, ..., $\zeta(s)$, at least $0. 21 \sqrt{s / \log s}$ are linearly independent over the rationals, for any sufficiently large odd integer $s$.

# On partial isometries with circular numerical range

no code yet • 17 Sep 2021

In their LAMA'2016 paper Gau, Wang and Wu conjectured that a partial isometry $A$ acting on $\mathbb{C}^n$ cannot have a circular numerical range with a non-zero center, and proved this conjecture for $n\leq 4$.
