We use the method of interlacing families of polynomials introduced to prove two theorems known to imply a positive solution to the Kadison--Singer problem. The first is Weaver's conjecture $KS_{2}$ \cite{weaver}, which is known to imply…

In this note, we propose a simple-looking but broad conjecture about star-algebras over the field of real numbers. The conjecture enables many matrix decompositions to be represented by star-algebras and star-ideals. This paper is written…

In this paper, we show that any proof of the Collatz 3n+1 Conjecture must have an infinite number of lines; therefore, no formal proof is possible.

In this paper, we will give another proof of Zhi-Wei Sun's three conjectures on Ap\'{e}ry-like sums involving harmonic numbers by proving some identities among special values of multiple polylogarithms.

In this note we give a counterexample to a conjecture proposed by Ciliberto about special linear systems of P^n through multiple base points.

A composition of birational maps given by Laurent polynomials need not be given by Laurent polynomials; however, sometimes---quite unexpectedly---it does. We suggest a unified treatment of this phenomenon, which covers a large class of…

We give counterexamples to the Brown-Colbourn conjecture on reliability polynomials, in both its univariate and multivariate forms. The multivariate Brown-Colbourn conjecture is false already for the complete graph K_4. The univariate…

We survey most of the known results concerning the Eisenbud-Green-Harris Conjecture. Our presentation includes new proofs of several theorems, as well as a unified treatment of many results which are otherwise scattered in the literature.…

We report the results of our empirical investigations on the Bateman-Horn conjecture. This conjecture, in its commonly known form, produces rather large deviations when the polynomials involved are not monic. We propose a modified version…

The aim of this paper is to give some combinatorial relations linked polynomials generalizing those of Appell type to the partial r-Bell polynomials. We give an inverse relation, recurrence relations involving some family of polynomials and…

We give a concise direct proof of the orthogonality of interpolation Macdonald polynomials with respect to the Fourier pairing and briefly discuss some immediate applications of this orthogonality, such as the symmetry of the Fourier…

This paper presents an alternative approach to simplify the proofs of some important results related to polynomial mappings in Computational Algebraic Geometry such as Polynomial Implicitization, Image Closure and some properties of the…

In 1904, Dickson [5] stated a very important conjecture. Now people call it Dickson's conjecture. In 1958, Schinzel and Sierpinski [14] generalized Dickson's conjecture to the higher order integral polynomial case. However, they did not…

We present a slightly more general version of Boole's additive formula for factorials as a simple consequence of Lagrange's Interpolating Polynomial theorem.

We prove that the Jacobian conjecture is false if and only if there exists a solution to a certain system of polynomial equations. We analyse the solution set of this system. In particular we prove that it is zero dimensional.

We study two conjectures in additive combinatorics. The first is the polynomial Freiman-Ruzsa conjecture, which relates to the structure of sets with small doubling. The second is the inverse Gowers conjecture for $U^3$, which relates to…

In this paper we investigate polynomial interpolation using orthogonal polynomials. We use weight functions associated with orthogonal polynomials to define a weighted form of Lagrange interpolation. We introduce an upper bound of error…

We give a proof of a conjecture of A. Lacasse in his doctoral thesis which has applications in machine learning algorithms. The proof relies on some interesting binomial sums identities introduced by Abel (1839), and on their generalization…

Let X be a complex surface with no nontrivial 2-forms. Then we show that Bloch's conjecture is true (i.e. the Albanese map in this case is injective) if and only if any homologically trivial idempotent in the ring of correspondences…

We give combinatorial proofs of several recent results due to Merca on the sum of different parts congruent to $r$ modulo $m$ in all partitions of $n$. The proofs make use of some well known involutions from the literature and some new…
