We prove modularity for a huge class of rigid Calabi-Yau threefolds over $\Q$. In particular we prove that every rigid Calabi-Yau threefold with good reduction at 3 and 7 is modular.

We prove that for some universal $c$, a non-collinear set of $N>\frac{1}{c}$ points in the Euclidean plane determines at least $c \frac{N}{\log N}$ distinct areas of triangles with one vertex at the origin, as well as at least $c…

In 2010, Cassidy and Vancliff extended the notion of a quadratic form on n generators to the noncommutative setting. In this article, we suggest a notion of rank for such noncommutative quadratic forms, where n = 2 or 3. Since writing an…

We prove that the largest $Q_2$-free family of subsets of $[n]$ which contains sets of at most three different sizes has at most $(3 + 2\sqrt {3})N/3 + o(N) \approx 2.1547N + o(N)$ members, where $N = {n \choose {\lfloor n/2 \rfloor}}$.…

A given subset $A$ of natural numbers is said to be complete if every element of $\N$ is the sum of distinct terms taken from $A$. This topic is strongly connected to the knapsack problem which is known to be NP complete. The main goal of…

Full binary trees naturally represent commutative non-associative products. There are many important examples of these products: finite-precision floating-point addition and NAND gates, among others. Balance in such a tree is highly…

Every triangle-free planar graph on n vertices has an independent set of size at least (n+1)/3, and this lower bound is tight. We give an algorithm that, given a triangle-free planar graph G on n vertices and an integer k>=0, decides…

It is probably safe to say that just about everyone reading this article is familiar with the cross product and the dot product. However, what many readers may not be aware of is that the familiar properties of the cross product in three…

We study systems of orientations on triples that satisfy the following so-called interiority condition: $\circlearrowleft(ABD)=~\circlearrowleft(BCD)=~\circlearrowleft(CAD)=1$ implies $\circlearrowleft(ABC)=1$ for any $A,B,C,D$. We call…

For a tropical prevariety in ${R}^n$ given by a system of $k$ tropical polynomials in $n$ variables with degrees at most $d$, we prove that its number of connected components is less than ${k+7n-1 \choose 3n} \cdot \frac{d^{3n}}{k+n+1}$. On…

We prove that a geometrically integral smooth 3-fold $X$ with nef anti-canonical class and negative Kodaira dimension over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ of characteristic $p>5$ and cardinality $q=p^e > 19$ has a rational point.…

We classify closed, simply connected $n$-manifolds of non-negative sectional curvature admitting an isometric torus action of maximal symmetry rank in dimensions $2\leq n\leq 6$. In dimensions $3k$, $k=1,2$ there is only one such manifold…

We prove:(1) the existence, for every integer n > 3, of a noncompact smooth n-dimensional topological manifold whose diffeomorphism group contains an isomorphic copy of every finitely presented group; (2) a finiteness theorem on finite…

We show that for every lattice packing of $n$-dimensional spheres there exists an $(n/\log_2(n))$-dimensional affine plane which does not meet any of the spheres in their interior, provided $n$ is large enough. Such an affine plane is…

It is consistent that there is a set mapping from the four-tuples of omega_n into the finite subsets with no free subsets of size t_n for some natural number t_n. For any n< omega it is consistent that there is a set mapping from the pairs…

In this paper we will show that the pull-back of any regular differential form defined on the smooth locus of a good quotient of dimension three and four to any resolution yields a regular differential form.

One of the many theorems Freiman proved, in the second half of the twentieth century, in the subject which later came to be known as "structure theory of set addition", was 'Freiman's $3k-4$ theorem' for subsets of $\Z$. In this article we…

A nontrivial element in a group is a generalized torsion element if some nonempty finite product of its conjugates is the identity. We prove that any generalized torsion element in a free product of torsion-free groups is conjugate to a…

Let $v$ be a product of at most three not necessarily distinct primes. We prove that there exists no strong external difference family with more than two subsets in abelian group $G$ of order $v$, except possibly when $G=C_p^3$ and $p$ is a…

We investigate S^3/Z_n partition function of 3d N = 2 supersymmetric field theories. In a gauge theory the partition function is the sum of the contributions of sectors specified by holonomies, and we should carefully choose the relative…
