In this paper we study upper and lower bounds on the Bregman divergence $\Delta_{\mathcal{F}}^{\xi}(y,x):=\mathcal{F}(y)-\mathcal{F}(x)-\langle \xi, y-x\rangle $ for some convex functional $\mathcal{F}$ on a normed space $\mathcal{X}$, with…

Let $\Gamma$ be a finite set, and $X\ni x$ a fixed klt germ. For any lc germ $(X\ni x,B:=\sum_{i} b_iB_i)$ such that $b_i\in \Gamma$, Nakamura's conjecture, which is equivalent to the ACC conjecture for minimal log discrepancies for fixed…

We prove that only for powers of 2 and 3 could occur counterexamples to the local-global divisibility principle for elliptic curves defined over the rationals. For we refine our previous criterion for the validity of the principle. We also…

We propose upper and lower bounds on the maximum success probability for discriminating given quantum states. The proposed upper bound is obtained from a suboptimal solution to the dual problem of the corresponding optimal state…

We address the Uniform Boundedness Conjecture of Morton and Silverman in the case of unicritical polynomials, assuming a generalization of the $abc$-conjecture. For unicritical polynomials of degree at least five, we require only the…

We extend the Main Theorem of Aschbacher and Smith on Quillen's Conjecture from $p>5$ to the remaining odd primes $p = 3,5$. In the process, we develop further combinatorial and homotopical methods for studying the poset of nontrivial…

We prove a general likely intersections theorem, a counterpart to the Zilber-Pink conjectures, under the assumption that the Ax-Schanuel property and some mild additional conditions are known to hold for a given category of complex quotient…

In this paper we start to investigate a new body of questions in additive combinatorics. The fundamental Cauchy--Davenport theorem gives a lower bound on the size of a sumset A+B for subsets of the cyclic group Zp of order p (p prime), and…

In this paper we prove the probabilistic continuous complexity conjecture. In continuous complexity theory, this states that the complexity of solving a continuous problem with probability approaching 1 converges (in this limit) to the…

Let $S(a,b)$ denote the normalized Dedekind sum. We study the range of possible values for $S(a,b)=\frac{k}{q}$ with $\gcd(k,q)=1$. Girstmair proved local restrictions on $k$ depending on $q\pmod{12}$ and whether $q$ is a square and…

In this paper we give an improved upper bound, as compared to the one given in [3] for the number of extreme points of the convex set of all G-invariant probability measures on X*Y with given marginals of full support.

We prove that at least $\left( \dfrac{(1+\epsilon)2m}{N-1}+1+\epsilon \right)^N$, where $0\leqslant \epsilon <1$, many general points, satisfy Demailly's conjecture. Previously, it was known to be true for at least $(2m+2)^N$ many general…

This article determines a lower bound for the number Germain primes $p$ and $2p+1$ up to a large number $x$.

We give here a general, best-possible, and smoothly-derived form of the Master Theorem for divide-and-conquer recurrences.

We give a counterexample to a recently conjectured variant of the Penrose inequality.

Let $G$ be a finite $p$-group. We prove that whenever the commuting probability of $G$ is greater than $(2p^2 + p - 2)/p^5$, the unramified Brauer group of the field of $G$-invariant functions is trivial. Equivalently, all relations between…

Belyi's theorem asserts that a smooth projective curve $X$ defined over a number field can be realized as a cover of the projective line unramified outside three points. In this short paper we investigate the bejaviour of the minimal degree…

In this paper we consider the problem of counting algebraic numbers $\alpha$ of fixed degree $n$ and bounded height $Q$ such that the derivative of the minimal polynomial $P_{\alpha}(x)$ of $\alpha$ is bounded, $|P_{\alpha}'(\alpha)| <…

In this paper, we establish some nontrivial and effective upper bounds for the least common multiple of consecutive terms of a finite arithmetic progression. Precisely, we prove that for any two coprime positive integers $a$ and $b$, with…

The sandglass conjecture, posed by Simonyi, states that if a pair $(A, B)$ of families of subsets of $[n]$ is recovering then $|A| |B| \leq 2^n$. We improve the best known upper bound to $|A| |B| \leq 2.2543^n$. To do this we overcome a…
