A famous conjecture about group algebras of torsion-free groups states that there is no zero divisor in such group algebras. A recent approach to settle the conjecture is to show the non-existence of zero divisors with respect to the length…
A general construction yielding infinitely many families of $D(m^2)$-triples of triangular numbers is presented. Moreover, each triple obtained from this construction contains the same triangular number $T_n$.
We present structural results on solutions to the Diophantine system $A{\boldsymbol y} = {\boldsymbol b}$, ${\boldsymbol y} \in \mathbb Z^t_{\ge 0}$ with the smallest number of non-zero entries. Our tools are algebraic and number theoretic…
We apply combinatorial methods to a geometric problem: the classification of polytopes, in terms of Minkowski decomposability. Various properties of skeletons of polytopes are exhibited, each sufficient to guarantee indecomposability of a…
Given any finite set of nonnegative integers, there exists a closed convex set whose facial dimension signature coincides with this set of integers, that is, the dimensions of its nonempty faces comprise exactly this set of integers. In…
In this paper we find a parametric solution to the hitherto unsolved problem of finding three positive integers such that their sum, the sum of their squares and the sum of their cubes are simultaneously perfect squares.
In this paper we prove a conjecture that $D(4)$-quintuple does not exist using both classical and new methods. Also, we give a new version of the Rickert's theorem that can be applied on some $D(4)$-quadruples.
To account for the first proof of existence of an irrational magnitude, historians of science as well as commentators of Aristotle refer to the texts on the incommensurability of the diagonal in Prior Analytics, since they are the most…
Counting interior-disjoint empty convex polygons in a point set is a typical Erd\H{o}s-Szekeres-type problem. We study this problem for 4-gons. Let $P$ be a set of $n$ points in the plane and in general position. A subset $Q$ of $P$, with…
We establish the existence of a real solution y(x,T) with no poles on the real line of the following fourth order analogue of the Painleve I equation, x=Ty-({1/6}y^3+{1/24}(y_x^2+2yy_{xx})+{1/240}y_{xxxx}). This proves the existence part of…
We prove that for each odd prime p, positive integer alpha, and non-negative integers beta and gamma, the Diophantine equation X^{2N} + 2^{2 alpha} 5^{2 beta} p^{2 gamma} = Z^5 has no solution with X, Z, N in Z^+, N > 1, and gcd(X,Z) = 1.
A Diophantine $m$-tuple is a set of $m$ distinct integers such that the product of any two distinct elements plus one is a perfect square. It was recently proven that there is no Diophantine quintuple in positive integers. We study the same…
In an earlier paper, Tatong and Suvarnamani explores the Diophantine equation $p^x + p^y = z^2$ for a prime number $p$. In that paper they find some solutions to the equation for $p=2, 3$. In this paper, we look at a general version of this…
The paper presents a systematic construction of primitive Pythagorean triples. The order of enumeration on the set of primitive Pythagorean triples is defined. The order is based on the representation of a primitive Pythagorean triple by…
A elementary proof of Fermat"s Last Theorem[1] is presented for the case of even exponents n=2q, where q is any integer, including 2. For even exponents, the proof of the theorem reduces to showing that solutions of the Pythagorean equation…
Given a noncompact disconnected complete periodic curve $\Gamma$ with no self intersection in $\mathbb R^3$, it is proved that there exists a noncompact simply connected periodic minimal surface spanning $\Gamma$. As an application it is…
We determine that there is no partial geometry ${\cal G}$ with parameters $(s,t,\alpha)=(4,27,2)$. The existence of such a geometry has been a challenging open problem of interest to researchers for almost 40 years. The particular interest…
This article exhibits a 4-dimensional combinatorial polytope that has no antiprism, answering a question posed by Bernt Lindst\"om. As a consequence, any realization of this combinatorial polytope has a face that it cannot rest upon without…
We extend the notion of triangle to "imaginary triangles" with complex valued sides and angles, and parametrize families of such triangles by plane algebraic curves. We study in detail families of triangles with two commensurable angles,…
We prove the theorem in the title, and prove the theorem for 11 as well as 7. By previous work of others, the problem reduces to a number of cases. The cases not solved already are solved here.
