We provide a simple proof for the union-closed sets conjecture, a long-standing open problem in set theory with immediate applications to graph theory, number theory, and order-theory.
We analyse the structure of the first order operators in bimodules introduced by A. Connes. We apply this analysis to the theory of connections on bimodules generalizing thereby several proposals.
More precisely, we give a simple and very short proof of "the Connes embedding problem implies the synchronous Tsirelson conjecture" that relies on only two elementary ingredients: 1) the well-known description of synchronous correlations…
An operator system modulo the kernel of a completely positive linear map of the operator system gives rise to an operator system quotient. In this paper, operator system quotients and quotient maps of certain matrix algebras are considered.…
We study connections between closure operators on an algebra $(A,\Om)$ and congruences on the extended power algebra defined on the same algebra. We use these connections to give an alternative description of the lattice of all subvarieties…
We reduce the Openness Conjecture of Demailly and Koll\'ar on the singularities of plurisubharmonic functions to a purely algebraic statement.
We show that Connes' embedding conjecture on von Neumann algebras is equivalent to the existence of certain algebraic certificates for a polynomial in noncommuting variables to satisfy the following nonnegativity condition: The trace is…
The Connes Embedding Problem (CEP) is a problem in the theory of tracial von Neumann algebras and asks whether or not every tracial von Neumann algebra embeds into an ultrapower of the hyperfinite II$_1$ factor. The CEP has had interactions…
We present a treasure trove of open problems in matrix and operator inequalities, of a functional analytic nature, and with various degrees of hardness.
These notes are based on lectures on index theory, topology, and operator algebras at the "School on High Dimensional Manifold Theory" at the ICTP in Trieste, and at the Seminari di Geometria 2002 in Bologna. We describe how techniques…
We present a proof of the compositional shuffle conjecture, which generalizes the famous shuffle conjecture for the character of the diagonal coinvariant algebra. We first formulate the combinatorial side of the conjecture in terms of…
We conjecture the existence of an embedding of the Racah algebra into the universal enveloping algebra of $\mathfrak{sl}_n$. Evidence of this conjecture is offered by realizing both algebras using differential operators and giving an…
The Connes Embedding Problem (CEP) asks whether every separable II_1 factor embeds into an ultrapower of the hyperfinite II_1 factor. We show that the CEP is equivalent to the computability of the universal theory of every type II_1 von…
Since their inception in the 30's by von Neumann, operator algebras have been used in shedding light in many mathematical theories. Classification results for self-adjoint and non-self-adjoint operator algebras manifest this approach, but a…
In this note, we propose a simple-looking but broad conjecture about star-algebras over the field of real numbers. The conjecture enables many matrix decompositions to be represented by star-algebras and star-ideals. This paper is written…
Jordan operator algebras are norm-closed spaces of operators on a Hilbert space with a^2 in A for all a in A. In two recent papers by the authors and Neal, a theory for these spaces was developed. It was shown there that much of the theory…
We study the question when for a given *-algebra $\mathcal{A}$ a sequence of cones $C_n\in M_n(\mathcal{A})$ can be realized as cones of positive operators in a faithful *-representation of $\mathcal{A}$ on a Hilbert space. A…
Algebraic properties of $n$-place opening operations on a fixed set are described. Conditions under which a Menger algebra of rank $n$ can be represented by $n$-place opening operations are found.
Meyniel's conjecture is one of the deepest open problems on the cop number of a graph. It states that for a connected graph $G$ of order $n,$ $c(G) = O(\sqrt{n}).$ While largely ignored for over 20 years, the conjecture is receiving…
This paper presents some considerations about the Goldbach's conjecture (GC). The work is based on elementary results of the number theory and it provides a constructive method that permits, given an even integer, to find at least a pair of…
