A direct analog of Hadamard's three-circle theorem is obtained for harmonic functions (in weighted L^2-norm) in case of (n-1)-dimensional non-concentric spheres in R^n. The result extends the concentric case to correlated non-concentric,…
We generalize the notion of graded posets to what we call sign-graded (labeled) posets. We prove that the $W$-polynomial of a sign-graded poset is symmetric and unimodal. This extends a recent result of Reiner and Welker who proved it for…
We use the square peg problem for smooth curves to prove a generalized table Theorem for real valued functions on Riemannian surfaces with odd Euler characteristic. We then use this result to prove the table conjecture for even functions on…
A construction of convex flag triangulations of five and higher dimensional spheres, whose h-polynomials fail to have only real roots, is given. We show that there is no such example in dimensions lower than five. A condition weaker than…
We show that each central configuration in the three-dimensional hyperbolic sphere is equivalent to one central configuration on a particular two- dimensional hyperbolic sphere. However, there exist both special and ordinary central…
Motivated by Brendle-Marques-Neves' counterexample to the Min-Oo's conjecture, we prove a volume constrained scalar curvature rigidity theorem which applies to the hemisphere.
We prove Strichartz estimates for the Schr\"odinger equation which are scale-invariant up to an $\varepsilon$-loss on products of odd-dimensional spheres. Namely, for any product of odd-dimensional spheres…
Beyond normal surfaces there are several open questions concerning 2- dimensional spaces. We present some results and conjectures along this line.
In this talk we discus some properties of supersymmetric theories on orbifolds in five dimensions. The structure of FI--tadpoles may lead to (strong) localization of charged bulk scalars. Orbifold theories may suffer from various kinds of…
Recently, with numerical methods, Hod clarified the validity of Thorne hoop conjecture for spatially regular static charged fluid spheres, which were considered as counterexamples against the hoop conjecture. In this work, we provide an…
The fourth virial coefficient is calculated exactly for a fluid of hard spheres in odd dimensions up to 11.
A cohomology theory for "odd polygon" relations -- algebraic imitations of Pachner moves in dimensions 3, 5, ... -- is constructed. Manifold invariants based on polygon relations and nontrivial polygon cocycles are proposed. Example…
An odd-dimensional version of the Goldberg conjecture was formulated and proved by Boyer and Galicki, using an orbifold analogue of Sekigawa's formulas, and an approximation argument of K-contact structures with quasi-regular ones. We…
art, Iosevich, Koh and Rudnev (2007) show, using Fourier analysis method, that the finite Erd\"os-Falconer distance conjecture holds for subsets of the unit sphere in $\mathbbm{F}_q^d$. In this note, we give a graph theoretic proof of this…
We explore the role of symmetry in three obdurate conjectures of differential geometry: the Carath\'eodory, the Willmore and the Lawson Conjectures. All three Conjectures concern surfaces in 3-dimensional space-forms, which have a high…
We prove Atiyah's conjecture for two special types of configurations of N points in the three-dimensional Euclidean space. For one of these types, it is shown that the stronger conjecture of Atiyah and Sutcliffe is valid.
In this article we study the cohomological and homological (due to Jannsen) Hodge conjecture for singular varieties. The motivation for studying singular varieties comes from the fact that any smooth projective variety X is birational to a…
We show that there exist infinitely many families of Sasaki-Einstein metrics on every odd-dimensional standard sphere of dimension at least $5$. We also show that the same result is true for all odd-dimensional exotic spheres that bound…
In this work, the classical Borsuk conjecture is discussed, which states that any set of diameter 1 in the Euclidean space $ {\mathbb R}^d $ can be divided into $ d+1 $ parts of smaller diameter. During the last two decades, many…
I settle a conjecture of Andrews related to the Alladi-Schur polynomials. In addition, I give further relations and implications to two families of polynomials related to the Alladi-Schur polynomials.
