The $1/3$-$2/3$ Conjecture, originally formulated in 1968, is one of the best-known open problems in the theory of posets, stating that the balance constant (a quantity determined by the linear extensions) of any non-total order is at least…
In their study of coarse entropy, W. Geller and M. Misiurewicz introduced the notion of coarse conjugacy: a version of conjugacy appropriate for dynamics on metric spaces observed from afar. They made two conjectures on coarse conjugacy…
A famous conjecture (usually called Ryser's conjecture) that appeared in the Ph.D thesis of his student, J.~R.~Henderson [15], states that for an $r$-uniform $r$-partite hypergraph $\mathcal{H}$, the inequality…
Let $r,k,\ell$ be integers such that $0\le\ell\le\binom{k}{r}$. Given a large $r$-uniform hypergraph $G$, we consider the fraction of $k$-vertex subsets which span exactly $\ell$ edges. If $\ell$ is 0 or $\binom{k}{r}$, this fraction can be…
The paper proves a special case of a conjecture of Hellerstein, Shen and Williamson concerning non-real zeros of derivatives of real meromorphic functions.
It is conjectured that the dual variety of every smooth nonlinear subvariety of dimension $> \frac{2N}{3}$ in projective $N$-space is a hypersurface, an expectation known as the duality defect conjecture. This would follow from the truth of…
Montgomery in 1973 introduced the Pair Correlation Conjecture (PCC) for zeros of the Riemann zeta-function. He also conjectured that asymptotically 100% of the zeros are simple. His reasoning to support these two conjectures used the…
Chv\'{a}tal's conjecture in extremal combinatorics asserts that for any decreasing family $\mathcal{F}$ of subsets of a finite set $S$, there is a largest intersecting subfamily of $\mathcal{F}$ consisting of all members of $\mathcal{F}$…
In 1859, Riemann had announced the following conjecture : the nontrivial roots (zeros) $s=\alpha+i\beta$ of the zeta function, defined by: $$\zeta(s) =\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^{+\infty}\frac{1}{n^s},\,\mbox{for}\quad \Re(s)>1$$ have real…
Assuming the Riemann hypothesis and Montgomery's Pair Correlation Conjecture, we investigate the distribution of the sequences $(\log|\zeta(\rho+z)|)$ and $(\arg\zeta(\rho+z)).$ Here $\rho=\frac12+i\gamma$ runs over the nontrivial zeros of…
In this paper, we study a combinatorial problem originating in the following conjecture of Erdos and Lemke: given any sequence of n divisors of n, repetitions being allowed, there exists a subsequence the elements of which are summing to n.…
We show via use of the RADIO technique that an off-shell (4,0) version of the hypermultiplet, in the form first proposed by Fayet, exists and contains 28 - 28 component fields. The off-shell structure uncovered is found to include a chiral…
The purpose of this note is twofold: firstly, it intends to bring to light an apparently unknown property of the product of the extreme zeros of Laguerre polynomials, which in a very particular case leads to a twenty-year-old conjecture for…
Herzog and Sch\"onheim conjectured that any nontrivial partition of a group into cosets must contain two cosets with the same index.
A precise tie between a univariate spline's knots and its zeros abundance and dissemination is formulated. As an application, a conjecture formulated by De Concini and Procesi is shown to be true in the special univariate, unimodular case.…
The statement of the Riemann hypothesis makes sense for all global fields, not just the rational numbers. For function fields, it has a natural restatement in terms of the associated curve. Weil's work on the Riemann hypothesis for curves…
The superfluid fraction $f$ of a quantum fluid is defined in terms of the response of the system to a weak and constant drag. Notably, Leggett long ago derived two simple expressions providing a rigorous upper bound and a heuristic lower…
In 2000, Kadell gave an orthogonality conjecture for a symmetric function generalization of the Zeilberger--Bressoud $q$-Dyson constant term identity. The non-zero part of Kadell's conjecture is a constant term identity indexed by a weak…
This paper explores the proof by J. Bourgain, H. Furstenberg, Y. Katznelson and D.S. Ornstein of their return times theorem [2] and lights a corner in it regarding the role of auto-correlation. As for pointwise convergence, this was already…
The Riemann Hypothesis (RH), one of the most profound unsolved problems in mathematics, concerns the nontrivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function. Establishing connections between the RH and physical phenomena could offer new perspectives…
