The study of the additive volume of sets can be reduced to the case of one-dimensional sets. The exact values of the volume of extremal sets are given as a conjecture.
Let $a, b\in \mathbb{N}$ be relatively prime. Previous work showed that exactly one of the two equations $ax + by = (a-1)(b-1)/2$ and $ax + by + 1 = (a-1)(b-1)/2$ has a nonnegative, integral solution; furthermore, the solution is unique.…
We formulate Guo--Jacquet type fundamental lemma conjectures and arithmetic transfer conjectures for inner forms of $GL_{2n}$. Our main results confirm these conjectures for division algebras of invariant $1/4$ and $3/4$.
The ancient unsolved problem of congruent numbers has been reduced to one of the major questions of contemporary arithmetic: the finiteness of the number of curves over $\bf Q$ which become isomorphic at every place to a given curve. We…
We study numerically 4+1 dimensional pure gauge theory.
We show that some mathematical results and their negations are both deducible. The derived contradictions indicate the inconsistency of current mathematics. This paper is an updated version of arXiv:math/0606635v3 with additional results…
We propose a conjectural formula for $DR_g(a,-a) \lambda_g$ and check all its expected properties. Our formula refines the one point case of a similar conjecture made by the first named author in collaboration with Gu\'er\'e and Rossi, and…
We generalize the concept of a number derivative, and examine one particular instance of a deformed number derivative for finite field elements. We find that the derivative is linear when the deformation is a Frobenius map and go on to…
An alternative class of the Lagrangian called the multiplicative form is suc- cessfully derived for a system with one degree of freedom for both non-relativistic and relativistic cases. This new Lagrangian can be considered as a…
We define a new generalization of Catalan numbers to multinomial coefficients. With arithmetic methods, we study their integrality and the integrality of their Lucasnomial generalization. We give a complete characterization of regular Lucas…
For univalent and normalized functions $f$ the logarithmic coefficients $\gamma_n(f)$ are determined by the formula $\log(f(z)/z)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}2\gamma_n(f)z^n$. In the paper \cite{Pon} the authors posed the conjecture that a locally…
The harmonic numbers and generalized harmonic numbers appear frequently in many diverse areas such as combinatorial problems, many expressions involving special functions in analytic number theory and analysis of algorithms. The aim of this…
New numbers, called Guinness numbers, are introduced using certain function of natural argument. Few problems related to these numbers are formulated.
We continue investigations on the average number of representations of a large positive integer as a sum of given powers of prime numbers. The average is taken over a short interval, whose admissible length depends on whether or not we…
Arbitrarily sparse sets A of integers are constructed with the property that every integer can be represented uniquely in the form n = a + a', where a and a' belong to the set A and a < a' or a = a'. Some related open problems are stated.
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…
We point out that the recursive formula that appears in Erickson's presentation "Fusible Numbers" is incorrect, and pose an alternate conjecture about the structure of fusible numbers. Although we are unable to solve the conjecture, we…
In this article, we investigate the arithmetical hierarchy from the perspective of realizability theory. An experimental observation in classical computability theory is that the notion of degrees of unsolvability for natural arithmetical…
We will study the solutions to the equation $f(n) - g(n) = c$, where $f$ and $g$ are multiplicative functions and $c$ is a constant. More precisely, we prove that the number of solutions does not exceed $c^{1-\epsilon}$ when $f, g$ and…
We survey general properties of multiplicative arithmetic functions of several variables and related convolutions, including the Dirichlet convolution and the unitary convolution. We introduce and investigate a new convolution, called gcd…
