Let S $\subseteq$ N be a numerical semigroup with multiplicity m = min(S \ {0}), conductor c = max(N \ S) + 1 and minimally generated by e elements. Let L be the set of elements of S which are smaller than c. Wilf conjectured in 1978 that…

Let $G$ and $H$ be finite-dimensional vector spaces over $\mathbb{F}_p$. A subset $A \subseteq G \times H$ is said to be transverse if all of its rows $\{x \in G \colon (x,y) \in A\}$, $y \in H$, are subspaces of $G$ and all of its columns…

We prove the following conjecture of Furstenberg (1969): if $A,B\subset [0,1]$ are closed and invariant under $\times p \mod 1$ and $\times q \mod 1$, respectively, and if $\log p/\log q\notin \mathbb{Q}$, then for all real numbers $u$ and…

A homotopical treatment of intersection cohomology recently developed by Chataur-Saralegui-Tanr\'e associates a "perverse algebraic model" to every topological pseudomanifold, extending Sullivan's presentation of rational homotopy to…

In the first part, in the local non archimedean case, we consider distributions on GL(n+1) which are invariant under the adjoint action of GL(n). We conjecture that such distributions are invariant by transposition. This would imply…

Classically, the projective duality between joins of varieties and the intersections of varieties only holds in good cases. In this paper, we show that categorically, the duality between joins and intersections holds in the framework of…

We consider two recent conjectures of Harrington, Henninger-Voss, Karhadkar, Robinson and Wong concerning relationships between the sum index, difference index and exclusive sum number of graphs. One conjecture posits an exact relationship…

The McKay Conjecture (MC) asserts the existence of a bijection between the (inequivalent) complex irreducible representations of degree coprime to $p$ ($p$ a prime) of a finite group $G$ and those of the subgroup $N$, the normalizer of…

According to the Kouchnirenko theorem, for a generic (precisely non-degenerate in the Kouchnirenko sense) isolated singularity $f$ its Milnor number $\mu (f)$ is equal to the Newton number $\nu (\Gamma_{+}(f))$ of a combinatorial object…

We show a lower estimate of the Milnor number of an isolated hypersurface singularity, via its Newton number. We also obtain analogous estimate of the Milnor number of an isolated singularity of a similar complete intersection variety.

Let $A$ be a regular ring over a field $k$, with $1/2\in k$ and dimension $d$. We discuss the Homotopy Conjecture of Madhav V. Nori, in the complete intersection case (meaning when the projective module in question if free, of rank at least…

Many important problems in extremal combinatorics can be be stated as proving a pure binomial inequality in graph homomorphism numbers, i.e., proving that…

A conjecture posed by S. Hayajneh and F. Kittaneh claims that given $A,B$ positive matrices, $0\le t\le 1$, and any unitarily invariant norm it holds $|||A^tB^{1-t}+B^tA^{1-t}|||\le|||A^tB^{1-t}+A^{1-t}B^t|||$. Recently, R. Bhatia proved…

We investigate various homotopy invariant formulations of commutative algebra in the context of rational homotopy theory. The main subject is the complete intersection condition, where we show that a growth condition implies a structure…

Motivated by Bourgain's work on pointwise ergodic theorems, and the work of Stein and Stein-Wainger on maximally modulated singular integrals without linear terms, we prove that the maximally monomially modulated discrete Hilbert transform,…

We revisit a conjecture of Mubayi that was proposed as a hypergraph analogue of the Li--Li algebraic proof of Tur\'{a}n's theorem. The conjecture compares a polynomial ideal generated by multipartite 3-graphs with a differentiated…

This is the beginning of an obstruction theory for deciding whether a map f:S^2 --> X^4 is homotopic to a topologically flat embedding, in the presence of fundamental group and in the absence of dual spheres. The first obstruction is Wall's…

We study a class of measures on the real line with a kind of self-similar structure, which we call dynamically driven self-similar measures, and contain proper self-similar measures such as Bernoulli convolutions as special cases. Our main…

Topological invariance of the intersection homology of a pseudomanifold without codimension one strata, proven by Goresky and MacPherson, is one of the main features of this homology. This property is true for codimension-dependent…

We provide a sharp lower bound for the perimeter of the inner parallel sets of a convex body $\Omega$. The bound depends only on the perimeter and inradius $r$ of the original body and states that \[|\partial\Omega_t| \geq…
