We discuss recent progress many problems in random matrix theory of a combinatorial nature, including several breakthroughs that solve long standing famous conjectures.
We prove some 3-adic congruences for binomial sums, which were conjectured by Sun.
This is a Bourbaki's seminar text. We introduce the combinatorial Kashiwara-Vergne conjecture on the Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff serie. After recalling previous results and consequences, we explain the Alekseev-Meinrenken's proof…
In this paper we state some conjectures about q-Fibonacci polynomials which for q=1 reduce to well-known results about Fibonacci numbers and Fibonacci polynomials.
We mainly show a supercongruence for a truncated series with cubes of Catalan numbers which extends a result by Zhi-Wei Sun.
Recently Z.W.Sun found over hundred conjectured formulas for 1/pi. Many of them were proved by H.H.Chan, J.Wan andW.Zudilin (see [3], [8] in the paper). Here we show that several other formulas in [6] are simple transformations of known…
To illustrate that the notion of convergence of submodular function sequences fits reasonably into the limit theory of graphs, we describe several classes of matroids and other submodular setfunctions for which convergence of appropriate…
The article provides a counterexample to a conjecture by Blocki-Zwonek.
In the preprint of 1993 the author formulated some conjectures on monotonicity of ratios for exponential series remainders. They are equivalent to conjectures on monotonicity of a ratio of Kummer hypergeometric functions and presumably not…
Zhi-Wei Sun conjectures if k congruence classes are disjoint, then two of the moduli have greatest common divisor at least as large as k. We prove this conjecture for k strictly less than 21.
Harmonic numbers are important in a lot of branches of number theory. By means of the derivative operator, the integral operator, and several summation and transformation formulas for hypergeometric series, we prove four series containing…
Let $p$ be an odd prime. In the paper, by using the properties of Legendre polynomials we prove some congruences for $\sum_{k=0}^{\frac{p-1}2}\binom{2k}k^2m^{-k}\mod {p^2}$. In particular, we confirm several conjectures of Z.W. Sun. We also…
We introduce the concepts of an amazing hypercube decomposition and a double shortcut for it, and use these new ideas to formulate a conjecture implying the Combinatorial Invariance Conjecture of the Kazhdan--Lusztig polynomials for the…
In this paper, we shall prove two conjectures of Z.-W. Sun concerning Ap\'ery-like series. One of the series is alternating whereas the other one is not. Our main strategy is to convert the series (resp.~the alternating series) to…
We present a proof of a combinatorial conjecture from the second author's Ph.D. thesis. The proof relies on binomial and multinomial sums identities. We also discuss the relevance of the conjecture in the context of PAC-Bayesian machine…
We explain a connection between the combinatorial Kashiwara-Vergne conjecture and the Kontsevich formula for quantization of Poisson manifolds
The aim of this work is to prove a conjecture related to the Combinatorial Invariance Conjecture of Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials, in the parabolic setting, for lower intervals in every arbitrary Coxeter group. This result improves and…
We prove Union-Closed sets conjecture.
Why do natural and interesting sequences often turn out to be log-concave? We give one of many possible explanations, from the viewpoint of "standard conjectures". We illustrate with several examples from combinatorics.
This paper proposes seven combinatorial problems around formulas for the characteristic polynomial and the spectral numbers of a quasihomogeneous singularity. One of them is a new conjecture on the characteristic polynomial. It is an…
