The soliton resolution conjecture is one of the most interesting open problems in the theory of nonlinear dispersive equations. Roughly speaking it asserts that a solution with generic initial condition converges to a finite number of…

Using exact solutions, we show that it is in principle possible to regard waves and particles as representations of the same underlying geometry, thereby resolving the problem of wave-particle duality.

We consider polynomial approximations of z-bar to better understand the torsional rigidity of polygons. Our main focus is on low degree approximations and associated extremal problems that are analogous to Polya's conjecture for torsional…

We prove an improved form of an expectation of Polya and discuss several related questions

We establish a result linking the Bouniakowsky conjecture and the density of polynomial roots to prime moduli.

We compute quantum corrections to soliton masses in affine Toda theories with imaginary exponentials based on the nonsimply-laced Lie algebras $c_n^{(1)}$. We find that the soliton mass ratios renormalize nontrivially, in the same manner as…

We consider the Dirichlet Laplacian with a constant magnetic field in a two-dimensional domain of finite measure. We determine the sharp constants in semi-classical eigenvalue estimates and show, in particular, that Polya's conjecture is…

We show that Vojta's conjecture for some rational surfaces is related to the $abc$ conjecture. More specifically, we prove that Vojta's conjecture on these surfaces implies a special case of the $abc$ conjecture, while the $abc$ conjecture…

We give an overview of the constrained Willmore problem and address some conjectures arising from partial results and numerical experiments. Ramifications of these conjectures would lead to a deeper understanding of the Willmore functional…

This work deals with traveling waves in the two-dimensional Galileon theory. We use the Hirota procedure to calculate one-Galileon, two-Galileon, three-Galileon and breather-like Galileon solutions in the theory under consideration. The…

P\'{o}lya's conjecture on the eigenvalues of the Laplacian has been one of the core problems in spectral geometry. Building upon the recent breakthrough works on P\'{o}lya's conjecture for balls and annuli by Filonov, Levitin, Polterovich…

The basic quasi-Schwarzschild 5D objects known as solitons have a long history, which is reviewed. Then some material is added, leading to the inference that a soliton is a singularity in the geometry which represents a bivalent source of…

The Collatz conjecture is explored using polynomials based on a binary numeral system. It is shown that the degree of the polynomials, on average, decreases after a finite number of steps of the Collatz operation, which provides a weak…

We obtain similar types of conclusions as that of Br\"{u}ck [1] for two differential polynomials which in turn radically improve and generalize several existing results. Moreover, a number of examples have been exhibited to justify the…

We propose the form of the Liouville action satisfying Polyakov conjecture on the accessory parameters for the hyperbolic singularities on the Riemann sphere.

A connection between differential geometry and soliton equations is discussed

A generalized view of Duality is offered as a bridge between physical sciences and the more abstract philosophical dimensions bordering on mysticism. To that end several examples of duality are first cited from from conventional physics…

The slope conjecture gives a precise relation between the degree of the colored Jones polynomial of a knot and the boundary slopes of essential surfaces in the knot complement. In this note we propose a generalization of the slope…

We resolve a conjecture of Kalai relating approximation theory of convex bodies by simplicial polytopes to the face numbers and primitive Betti numbers of these polytopes and their toric varieties. The proof uses higher notions of…

A p-adic analogue of the pseudonorm version of the birational Torelli type theorem is obtained via a comparison theorem of image closures. Among other results obtained, we have a criterion for existence of rational points of canonically…
