title = {{2-Elongated Plane Partitions and Powers of 7: The Localization Method Applied to a Genus 1 Congruence Family}},
language = {english},
abstract = {Over the last century, a large variety of infinite congruence families have been discovered and studied, exhibiting a great variety with respect to their difficulty. Major complicating factors arise from the topology of the associated modular curve: classical techniques are sufficient when the associated curve has cusp count 2 and genus 0. Recent work has led to new techniques that have proven useful when the associated curve has cusp count greater than 2 and genus 0. We show here that these techniques may be adapted in the case of positive genus. In particular, we examine a congruence family over the 2-elongated plane partition diamond counting function $d_2(n)$ by powers of 7, for which the associated modular curve has cusp count 4 and genus 1. We compare our method with other techniques for proving genus 1 congruence families, and present a second congruence family by powers of 7 which we conjecture, and which may be amenable to similar techniques.},

title = {{Is ChatGPT Smarter Than Master’s Applicants?}},
language = {English},
abstract = {During the selection procedure for a particular informatics fellowship program sponsored by Upper Austrian companies, I ask the applicants a couple of simple technical questions about programming, etc., in a Zoom meeting. I put the same questions to the dialogue system ChatGPT, [ChatGPT]. The result surprised me: Nearly all answers of ChatGPT were totally correct and nicely explained. Also, in the dialogues to clarify some critical points in the answers, the explanations by ChatGPT were amazingly clear and goal-oriented.In comparison: I tried out the same questions in the personal Zoom interviews with approximately 30 applicants from five countries. Only the top three candidates (with a GPA of 1.0, i.e., the highest possible GPA in their bachelor’s study) performed approximately equally well in the interview. All the others performed (far) worse than ChatGPT. And, of course, all answers from ChatGPT came within 1 to 10 seconds, whereas most of the human applicants' answers needed lengthy and arduous dialogues.I am particularly impressed by the ability of ChatGPT to extract meaningful and well-structured programs from problem specifications in natural language. In this experiment, I also added some questions that ask for proofs for simple statements in natural language, which I do not ask in the student's interviews. The performance of ChatGPT was quite impressive as far as formalization and propositional logic are concerned. In examples where predicate logic reasoning is necessary, the ChatGPT answers are not (yet?) perfect. I am pleased to see that ChatGPT tries to present the proofs in a “natural style” This is something that I had as one of my main goals when I initiated the Theorema project in 1995. I think we already achieved this in the early stage of Theorema, and we performed this slightly better and more systematically than ChatGPT does.I also tried to develop a natural language input facility for Theorema in 2017, i.e., a tool to formalize natural language statements in predicate logic. However, I could not continue this research for a couple of reasons. Now I see that ChatGPT achieved this goal. Thus, I think that the following combination of methods could result in a significant leap forward:- the “natural style” proving methods that we developed within Theorema (for the automated generation of programs from specifications, the automated verification of programs in the frame of knowledge, and the automated proof of theorems in theories), in particular, my “Lazy Thinking Method” for algorithm synthesis from specifications- and the natural language formalization techniques of ChatGPT.I propose this as a research project topic and invite colleagues and students to contact me and join me in this effort: Buchberger.bruno@gmail.com.},

title = {{The first--order factorizable contributions to the three--loop massive operator matrix elements $A_{Qg}^{(3)}$ and $Delta A_{Qg}^{(3)}$}},
language = {english},
abstract = {The unpolarized and polarized massive operator matrix elements $A_{Qg}^{(3)}$ and $Delta A_{Qg}^{(3)}$contain first--order factorizable and non--first--order factorizable contributions in the determining difference or differential equations of their master integrals. We compute their first--order factorizable contributions in the single heavy mass case for all contributing Feynman diagrams. Moreover, we present the complete color--$zeta$ factors for the cases in which also non--first--order factorizable contributions emerge in the master integrals, but cancel in the final result as found by using the method of arbitrary high Mellin moments. Individual contributions depend also on generalized harmonic sums and on nested finite binomial and inverse binomial sums in Mellin $N$--space, and correspondingly, on Kummer--Poincar'e and square--root valued alphabets in Bjorken--$x$ space. We present a complete discussion of the possibilities of solving the present problem in $N$--space analytically and we also discuss the limitations in the present case to analytically continue the given $N$--space expressions to $N in mathbb{C}$ by strict methods. The representation through generating functions allows a well synchronized representation of the first--order factorizable results over a 17--letter alphabet. We finally obtain representations in terms of iterated integrals over the corresponding alphabet in $x$--space, also containing up to weight {sf w = 5} special constants, which can be rationalized to Kummer--Poincar'e iterated integrals at special arguments. The analytic $x$--space representation requires separate analyses for the intervals $x in [0,1/4], [1/4,1/2], [1/2,1]$ and $x > 1$. We also derive the small and large $x$ limits of the first--order factorizable contributions. Furthermore, we perform comparisons to a number of known Mellin moments, calculated by a different method for the corresponding subset of Feynman diagrams, and an independent high--precision numerical solution of the problems.},
