Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The join X ∨ Y of two graphs X and Y is the graph obtained by joining each vertex of X to each vertex of Y . We explore the behaviour of a continuous quantum walk on a join graph with positive edge weights having the adjacency matrix or Laplacian matrix as its associated Hamiltonian, where the underlying graphs are assumed to be regular when dealing with the adjacency matrix. We characterize strong cospectrality, periodicity and perfect state transfer (PST) in a join graph. We also determine conditions in which strong cospectrality, periodicity and PST are preserved in the join. Under certain conditions, we show that there are graphs with no PST that exhibit PST when joined with another graph. We also show that | | U M ( X ∨ Y , t ) u , v | − | U M ( X , t ) u , v | | ≤ 2 | V ( X ) | for all vertices u and v of X , where U M ( X ∨ Y , t ) and U M ( X , t ) denote the transition matrices of X ∨ Y and X respectively relative to the adjacency or Laplacian matrix. We demonstrate that the bound 2 | V ( X ) | is tight for infinite families of graphs.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
