We give a survey on recent development of the Novikov conjecture and its applications to topological rigidity and non-rigidity. .
We discuss in this paper combinatorial aspects of boundary loop models, that is models of self-avoiding loops on a strip where loops get different weights depending on whether they touch the left, the right, both or no boundary. These…
In 2008, Schmidt and Tuller stated a conjecture concerning optimal packing and covering of integers by translates of a given three-point set. In this note, we confirm their conjecture and relate it to several other problems in…
The log-rank conjecture is a longstanding open problem with multiple equivalent formulations in complexity theory and mathematics. In its linear-algebraic form, it asserts that the rank and partitioning number of a Boolean matrix are…
We formulate a relative analogue of the Clemens conjectures for 1/2-log Calabi-Yau threefold pairs (X,Y) (where K_X+2Y is isomorphic to O_X). This framework rests on the restoration of a perfect deformation/obstruction duality specific to…
In this article, we introduce a new type of mapping contracting perimeters of triangles in a complete metric space and present related fixed point theorem. We study the metric completeness property of the underlying space in terms of fixed…
The fully packed loop (FPL) model is a statistical model related to the integrable $U_q(\hat{\mathfrak{sl}}_3)$ vertex model. In this paper we study the continuum limit of the FPL. With the appropriate weight of non-contractible loops, we…
In this article, fully packed loop configurations of hexagonal shape (HFPLs) are defined. They generalize triangular fully packed loop configurations. To encode the boundary conditions of an HFPL, a sextuple…
We give a complete self-contained proof of Statman's finite completeness theorem and of a corollary of this theorem stating that the $\lambda$-definability conjecture implies the higher-order matching conjecture.
The Fagundes-Mello conjecture asserts that every multilinear polynomial on upper triangular matrix algebras is a vector space, which is an improtant variation of the old and famous Lvov-Kaplansky conjecture. The goal of the paper is to give…
Recent progress in Zauner's conjecture has leveraged deep conjectures in algebraic number theory to promote numerical line packings to exact and verifiable solutions to the line packing problem. We introduce a numerical-to-exact technique…
We prove the Categorified Wrapping Number Conjecture for large classes of annular links, including alternating annular links and tangle closures exhibiting plumbed link phenomena. We do so by characterizing when a resolution is sufficient…
The Razumov-Stroganov correspondence, an important link between statistical physics and combinatorics proved in 2011 by L. Cantini and A. Sportiello, relates the ground state eigenvector of the O(1) dense loop model on a semi-infinite…
The BKMP conjecture (2006-2008), proposed a new method to compute closed and open Gromov-Witten invariants for every toric Calabi-Yau 3-folds, through a topological recursion based on mirror symmetry. So far, this conjecture had been…
We establish the exact overlaps conjecture for iterated functions systems on the real line with algebraic contractions and arbitrary translations.
Even though Zaremba's conjecture remains open, Bourgain and Kontorovich solved the problem for a full density subset. Nevertheless, there are only a handful of explicit sequences known to satisfy the strong version of the conjecture, all of…
Using the integration by parts method we derive a closed analytical expression for the result of the integration of an arbitrary dimensionally regulated tadpole diagram composed of a massless propagator and two massive ones, each raised…
The Circle Packing Theorem states that every planar graph can be represented as the tangency graph of a family of internally-disjoint circles. A well-known generalization is the Primal-Dual Circle Packing Theorem for 3-connected planar…
We present an alternative definition of the twisted 1-loop invariant in terms of the Jacobian of Ptolemy coordinates. As an application, we prove that the twisted 1-loop invariant is equal to the adjoint twisted Alexander polynomial for all…
We give a new proof of Faber's intersection number conjecture concerning the top intersections in the tautological ring of the moduli space of curves $\M_g$. The proof is based on a very straightforward geometric and combinatorial…
