In their 2016 paper on exotic Bailey--Slater SPT-functions, Garvan and Jennings-Shaffer introduced many new spt-crank-type functions and proposed a conjecture that the spt-crank-type functions $M_{C1}(m,n)$ and $M_{C5}(m,n)$ are both…

The Kannan-Lov\'asz-Simonovits conjecture says that the Cheeger constant of any logconcave density is achieved to within a universal, dimension-independent constant factor by a hyperplane-induced subset. Here we survey the origin and…

The coefficients $A_n(\alpha,\beta,\omega)$ in the Maclaurin expansion $(1+\omega z)^{\alpha}(1-z)^{-\beta}= \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} A_n(\alpha,\beta,\omega)z^n$ are studied, where $\omega,z \in \mathbb{C}$ with $|z| < |\omega|=1$, and…

For $n=0,1,2,\ldots$ let $W_n=\sum_{k=0}^{[n/3]}\binom{2k}k \binom{3k}k\binom n{3k}(-3)^{n-3k}$, where $[x]$ is the greatest integer not exceeding $x$. Then $\{W_n\}$ is an Ap\'ery-like sequence. In this paper we deduce many congruences…

We develop a probabilistic approach to the celebrated Jacobian conjecture, which states that any Keller map (i.e. any polynomial mapping $F\colon \mathbb{C}^n \to \mathbb{C}^n$ whose Jacobian determinant is a nonzero constant) has a…

For each $\Delta>0$, we prove that there exists some $C=C(\Delta)$ for which the binomial random graph $G(n,C\log n/n)$ almost surely contains a copy of every tree with $n$ vertices and maximum degree at most $\Delta$. In doing so, we…

Let $G$ be a simple graph and $Q(G)$ be the signless Laplacian matrix of $G$. Let $S_\alpha(G)$ be the sum of the $\alpha$-th powers of the nonzero eigenvalues of $Q(G)$. We disprove two conjectures by You and Yang on the extremal values of…

Let $p(n)$ denote the partition function. In this article, we will show that congruences of the form $$ p(m^j\ell^kn+B)\equiv 0\mod m \text{for all} n\ge 0 $$ exist for all primes $m$ and $\ell$ satisfying $m\ge 13$ and $\ell\neq 2,3,m$.…

For a set $A$, let $P(A)$ be the set of all finite subset sums of $A$. In this paper, for a sequence of integers $B=\{1<b_1<b_2<\cdots\}$ and $3b_1+5\leq b_2\leq 6b_1+10$, we determine the critical value for $b_3$ such that there exists an…

It is shown that every polynomial function $P : \mathbb{C}^2\longrightarrow \mathbb{C}$ with irreducible fibres of same a genus is a coordinate. In consequence, there does not exist counterexamples F = (P,Q) to the Jacobian conjecture such…

Two infinite sequences A and B of non-negative integers are called additive complements, if their sum contains all sufficiently large integers. Let $A(x)$ and $B(x)$ be the counting functions of A and B. In this paper, we extend the results…

Given an arbitrary complex-valued infinite matrix A and a positive integer n we introduce a naturally associated polynomial basis B_A of C[x0...xn]. We discuss some properties of the locus of common zeros of all polynomials in B_A having a…

A composition of birational maps given by Laurent polynomials need not be given by Laurent polynomials; however, sometimes---quite unexpectedly---it does. We suggest a unified treatment of this phenomenon, which covers a large class of…

Guo-Wang [Calc.Var.Partial Differential Equations,59(2020)] conjectured that for $1<q<\frac{n}{n-2}$ and $0<\lambda\leq \frac{1}{q-1}$, the positive solution $u\in C^{\infty}(\bar B)$ to the equation \[ \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} \Delta u=0…

In the present paper we shall investigate the Waring's problem for upper triangular matrix algebras. The main result is the following: Let $n\geq 2$ and $m\geq 1$ be integers. Let $p(x_1,\ldots,x_m)$ be a noncommutative polynomial with zero…

The celebrated (First) Borwein Conjecture predicts that for all positive integers~$n$ the sign pattern of the coefficients of the ``Borwein polynomial'' $$(1-q)(1-q^2)(1-q^4)(1-q^5) \cdots(1-q^{3n-2})(1-q^{3n-1})$$ is $+--+--\cdots$. It was…

We prove two single-parameter q-supercongruences which were recently conjectured by Guo, and establish their further extensions with one more parameter. Crucial ingredients in the proof are the terminating form of q-binomial theorem and a…

Let $a(n, k)$ be the $k$-th coefficient of the $n$-th cyclotomic polynomial. Recently, Ji, Li and Moree \cite{JLM09} proved that for any integer $m\ge1$, $\{a(mn, k)| n, k\in\mathbb{N}\}=\mathbb{Z}$. In this paper, we improve this result…

We show that there are only finitely many triples of integers $ 0 < a < b < c $ such that the product of any two of them is the value of a given polynomial with integer coefficients evaluated at an $ S $-unit that is also a positive…

Let $p>3$ be a prime and let $a$ be a positive integer. We show that if $p\equiv1\pmod 4$ or $a>1$ then $$\sum_{k=0}^{\lfloor\frac34p^a\rfloor}\frac{\binom{2k}k^2}{16^k}\equiv\l(\frac{-1}{p^a}\r)\pmod{p^3}$$ with $(-)$ the Jacobi symbol,…
