2026-09-07 01:45 bmatschke tagged "statistical mechanics": six tables on critical phenomena carried only "physics" and "combinatorics", which does not distinguish them from anything current reviewed
2026-09-06 13:33 bmatschke the arXiv number of 10 references was in the sentence, where it is text; moved to the `arxiv` field, which the page renders as a link to the abstract
2026-09-06 04:54 zeta3 after its critique: the prose said eleven exact entries and 55 estimates where the rows hold nine and 57; the kagome bond conjecture is attributed to Wu, with Ziff and Suding cited; the duality formula names the symmetry needed; the Laves bond rows no longer end in a bare citation
2026-09-06 04:33 zeta3 with Claude Code, table-bui site and bond percolation thresholds of the eleven Archimedean lattices, their Laves duals, the four cubic lattices and Z^d for 4 <= d <= 13: the eleven exact values in ball arithmetic at 100 digits, the rest the most precise published estimates as of 6 September 2026 with their stated uncertainties
