TL;DR: A new representation that is guaranteed to encode any planar triangle graph of V vertices in less than 3.67V bits is presented, based on a new encoding of the CLERS string produced by RossignacOs Edgebreaker compression.
Abstract: We present a new representation that is guaranteed to encode any planar triangle graph of V vertices in less than 3.67V bits. Our code improves on all prior solutions to this well studied problem and lies within 13% of the theoretical lower limit of the worst case guaranteed bound. It is based on a new encoding of the CLERS string produced by RossignacOs Edgebreaker compression [Rossignac99]. The elegance and simplicity of this technique makes it suitable for a variety of 2D and 3D triangle mesh compression applications. Simple and fast compression/decompression algorithms with linear time and space complexity are available.
TL;DR: In this article, an explicit example of a one-loop triangle graph where dimensional regularization fails to regulate the infra-red singularities that emerge at intermediate steps of studying large-Q 2 Sudakov factorization is presented.
TL;DR: In this article, the dispersive approach to the axial anomaly is revisited and the anomalous Ward identity is proved in the case of the external momenta corresponding to one real and one virtual photon.
Abstract: The dispersive approach to the axial anomaly is revisited. Considering the familiar VVA triangle graph, the anomalous Ward identity is proved in the case of the external momenta corresponding to one real and one virtual photon. We also comment on a recent claim that the anomaly pole in QCD fails to reproduce the pion pole. In this connection, it is emphasized that there is no need to introduce a massless axial meson in the chiral limit. In the framework of QCD sum rules method a constraint for the Borel transform of relevant form factors imposed by the anomaly is considered.

Abstract: An explicit example is presented (a one-loop triangle graph) where dimensional regularization fails to regulate the infra-red singularities that emerge at intermediate steps of studying large-$Q^2$ Sudakov factorization. The mathematical nature of the phenomenon is explained within the framework of the theory of the $As$-operation.
TL;DR: It is shown that, for general triangle graphs, the maximum independent set problem and the upper independent neighborhood set problem cannot be polynomially approximated within any fixed constant factor greater than one unless P=NP.
