Atiyah's conjecture concerning configurations of N points in the Euclidean three-space is verified for the following nonplanar configurations: The first m points lie on a line L and the remaining n=N-m (>2) points are the vertices of a…

Let $f:X\rightarrow Y$ be an algebraic fibre space between normal projective varieties and $F$ be a general fibre of $f$. We prove an Iitaka-type inequality $\kappa(X,-K_X)\leq \kappa(F,-K_F)+\kappa(Y,-K_Y)$ under some mild conditions. We…

For every smooth complex projective variety $W$ of dimension $d$ and nonnegative Kodaira dimension, we show the existence of a universal constant $m$ depending only on $d$ and two natural invariants of the very general fibres of an Iitaka…

The long-standing Alekseevskii conjecture states that a connected homogeneous Einstein space G/K of negative scalar curvature must be diffeomorphic to R^n. This was known to be true only in dimensions up to 5, and in dimension 6 for…

A 1976 conjecture of Halperin on positively elliptic spaces was recently confirmed in formal dimensions up to 16. In this article, we shorten the proof and extend the result up to formal dimension 20. We work with Meier's algebraic…

Let $k$ be an imaginary quadratic number field, and $F/k$ a finite abelian extension of Galois group $G$. We show that a Gross conjecture concerning the leading terms of Artin $L$-series holds for $F/k$ and all rational primes which are…

We study symplectic embeddings of ellipsoids into balls. In the main construction, we show that a given embedding of 2m-dimensional ellipsoids can be suspended to embeddings of ellipsoids in any higher dimension. In dimension 6,s if the…

We apply a conjectured inequality on third chern classes of stable two-term complexes on threefolds to Fujita's conjecture. More precisely, the inequality is shown to imply a Reider-type theorem in dimension three which in turn implies that…

Let S Q denote x 3 = Q(y 1 ,. .. , y m)z where Q is a primitive positive definite quadratic form in m variables with integer coefficients. This S Q ranges over a class of singular cubic hypersurfaces as Q varies. For S Q we prove (i)…

We consider M theory 5-branes with compact transverse dimensions. In certain limits the theory on the 5-brane decouples and defines ``little string theories'' in 5+1 dimensions. We show that the familiar structure of IIA/IIB,M,F- theory in…

For every integer $n$ with $n \geq 6$, we prove that the Boolean dimension of a poset consisting of all the subsets of $\{1,\dots,n\}$ equipped with the inclusion relation is strictly less than $n$.

In 1994 Drew, Johnson and Loewy conjectured that for $n \ge 4$, the cp-rank of any $n\times n$ completely positive matrices is at most $\lfloor{n^2}/{4}\rfloor$. Recently this conjecture has been proved for $n=5$ and disproved for $n\ge 7$,…

In this paper, we show that certain sums of generalized $m$-gonal numbers represent every positive integer if and only if they represent every positive integer up to an explicit bound $C_m$, verifying a conjecture of Sun for sufficiently…

The union-closed sets conjecture (Frankl's conjecture) says that for any finite union-closed family of finite sets, other than the family consisting only of the empty set, there exists an element that belongs to at least half of the sets in…

Let $X/C$ be a general product of elliptic curves. Our goal is to establish the Hodge-D-conjecture for $X$. We accomplish this when $\dim X \leq 5$. For $\dim X \geq 6$, we reduce the conjecture to a matrix rank condition that is amenable…

We prove Manin's conjecture for a del Pezzo surface of degree six which has one singularity of type $\mathbf{A}_2$. Moreover, we achieve a meromorphic continuation and explicit expression of the associated height zeta function.

In this paper, we make significant progress on a conjecture proposed by Dan Archdeacon on the existence of integer Heffter arrays $H(m,n;s,k)$ whenever the necessary conditions hold, that is, $3\leqslant s \leqslant n$, $3\leqslant…

Following Akizuki, I construct a Noetherian local integral domain C_M whose normalisation (integral closure) is not finite over C_M. My proof follows closely Akizuki's ingenious calculations.

The Index Conjecture in zero-sum theory states that when $n$ is coprime to $6$ and $k$ equals $4$, every minimal zero-sum sequence of length $k$ modulo $n$ has index $1$. While other values of $(k,n)$ have been studied thoroughly in the…

We give effective bounds for the uniformity of the Iitaka fibration. These bounds follow from an effective theorem on the birationality of some adjoint linear series. In particular we derive an effective version of the main theorem in [17].
