We prove the finiteness of $B$-representations of generalised log canonical pairs. As a consequence, we prove that, the (relative) abundance for a generalised semi-log canonical pair is implied by the abundance for its normalisation.…
We prove a quantitative version of a Silverstein's Theorem on a condition for convergence in probability of the norm of random matrix. More precisely, we show that for a random matrix whose entries are i.i.d. random variables, $w_{i,j}$,…
A long-standing conjecture of Podewski states that every minimal field is algebraically closed. It was proved by Wagner for fields of positive characteristic, but it remains wide open in the zero-characteristic case. We reduce Podewski's…
In this note we investigate the Cheltsov--Rubinstein conjecture. We show that this conjecture does not hold in general and some counterexamples will be presented.
We prove that suitably generic pairs of linear equations on an even number of variables are uncommon. This verifies a conjecture of Kam\v{c}ev, Morrison and the second author. Moreover, we prove that any large system containing such a…
We explore the symmetry structure of Type II Little String Theories and their T-dualities. We construct these theories both from the bottom-up perspective starting with seed Superconformal Field Theories, and from the top-down using…
We show that for $\Pi_2$-properties of second or third order arithmetic as formalized in appropriate natural signatures the apparently weaker notion of forcibility overlaps with the standard notion of consistency (assuming large cardinal…
We prove that the abundance conjecture holds on a variety $X$ with mild singularities if $X$ has many reflexive differential forms with coefficients in pluricanonical bundles, assuming the Minimal Model Program in lower dimensions. This…
Under the assumption of the minimal model theory for projective klt pairs of dimension $n$, we establish the minimal model theory for lc pairs $(X/Z,\Delta)$ such that the log canonical divisor is relatively log abundant and its restriction…
We give a counterexample to the PIA (precise inversion of adjunction) conjecture for minimal log discrepancies. We also give a counterexample to the LSC conjecture for families.
We show the validity of the Minimal Model Program for threefolds in characteristic five.
We shall consider nonrestricted representations of $C_l-$ type Lie algebra over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p\geq7.$ This paper gives some counter examples to important theory relating to the representations of modular…
Recently, G. Mason has produced a counterexample of order 128 to a conjecture in conformal field theory and tensor category theory in [Ma]. Here we easily produce an infinite family of counterexamples, the smallest of which has order 72.
Some practical results are derived for population inference based on a sample, under the two qualitative conditions of 'ignorability' and exchangeability. These are the 'Histogram Theorem', for predicting the outcome of a non-sampled member…
We report an inconsistency found in probability theory (also referred to as measure-theoretic probability). For probability measures induced by real-valued random variables, we deduce an "equality" such that one side of the "equality" is a…
We give a proof of the Howe duality conjecture for the (almost) equal rank dual pairs in full generality. For arbitrary dual pairs, we prove the irreducibility of the (small) theta lifts for all tempered representations. Our proof works for…
The Abundance conjecture predicts that on a minimal projective klt pair $(X,\Delta)$, the adjoint divisor $K_X+\Delta$ is semiample. When $\chi(X,\mathcal O_X)\neq0$, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for the conjecture to hold…
We study Brauer's long-standing $k(B)$-conjecture on the number of characters in $p$-blocks for finite quasi-simple groups and show that their blocks do not occur as a minimal counterexample for $p\ge5$ nor in the case of abelian defect.…
Fundamental inconsistencies of superstatistics are highlighted. There is no such thing as a superposition of Boltzmann factors; what is actually derived is a generating function and not a normalizable probability density. The beta density…
The biduality and reflexivity theorems are known to hold for projective varieties defined over fields of characteristic zero, and to fail in positive characteristic. In this article, we construct a notion of reflexivity and biduality in…
