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 08:48 zeta3 after the critique: the definition says a walk on a directed lattice follows the edge directions; sources lists the papers the rows cite, Wikipedia staying for the L-lattice row; the corrected count of walks is named as Jensen and Guttmann's; the four planar series values are paired with their paper
2026-09-06 08:31 zeta3 after audit_table: the clause on the existence of the limit leaves the definition, which the Fekete formula already states
2026-09-06 08:29 zeta3 with Claude Code, table-build connective constants of the honeycomb, square, triangular, kagome, (3,12^2), (4,8^2), Manhattan and L lattices, the three cubic lattices and Z^d for 4 <= d <= 8: the two exact values in ball arithmetic at 100 digits, the rest the most precise published estimates as of 6 September 2026 with their sta
