Stanley conjectured in 1977 that the $h$-vector of a matroid simplicial complex is a pure $O$-sequence. We give simple constructive proofs that the conjecture is true for matroids of rank less than or equal to 3, and corank 2. We used…

We prove the Extended Delta Conjecture of Haglund, Remmel, and Wilson, a combinatorial formula for $\Delta _{h_l}\Delta' _{e_k} e_{n}$, where $\Delta' _{e_k}$ and $\Delta_{h_l}$ are Macdonald eigenoperators and $e_n$ is an elementary…

R. Stanley has found a nice combinatorial formula for characters of irreducible representations of the symmetric group of rectangular shape. Then, he has given a conjectural generalisation for any shape. Here, we will prove this formula…

We state the Brumer-Stark conjecture and motivate it from two perspectives. Stark's perspective arose in his attempts to generalize the classical Dirichlet class number formula for the leading term of the Dedekind zeta function at $s=1$…

Moduli spaces of admissible covers and stable maps of target curves give rise to cycles on $\overline{M}_{g,n}$. We prove a formula relating these cycles. It recovers both the Ekedahl-Lando-Shapiro-Vainshtein formula and the…

A simple new proof of the Harish-Chandra condition, preceded by an expository part on Hermitian symmetric spaces, holomorphic induction, and on some analytic tools.

We partition in classes the set of matroids of fixed dimension on a fixed vertex set. In each class we identify two special matroids, respectively with minimal and maximal h-vector in that class. Such extremal matroids also satisfy a…

It is known that the complex Grassmannian of $k$-dimensional subspaces can be identified with the set of projection matrices of rank $k$. It is also classically known that the convex hull of this set is the set of Hermitian matrices with…

We prove several evaluations of determinants of matrices, the entries of which are given by the recurrence $a_{i,j}=a_{i-1,j}+a_{i,j-1}$, or variations thereof. These evaluations were either conjectured or extend conjectures by Roland…

We generalize the shuffle theorem and its $(km,kn)$ version, as conjectured by Haglund et al. and Bergeron et al., and proven by Carlsson and Mellit, and Mellit, respectively. In our version the $(km,kn)$ Dyck paths on the combinatorial…

In this paper we prove a conjecture regarding the form of the Born-Infeld Lagrangian with a U(1)^2n gauge group after the elimination of the auxiliary fields. We show that the Lagrangian can be written as a symmetrized trace of Lorentz…

A descent conjecture of Wittenberg [Wit24, Conjecture 3.7.4] predicts that if all the twists of a rationally connected torsor over a smooth base satisfy weak approximation with Brauer-Manin obstruction, then so does the base. We give an…

We aim to prove a twisted version of the Osborne conjecture obtained by Hecht and Schmid in their 1983 Acta Mathematica paper. Bergeron and Clozel (2013) have considered a special case, and we generalize their method to our setting.

We extend Krivine's strict positivstellensatz for usual (real multivariate) polynomials to symmetric matrix polynomials with scalar constraints. The proof is an elementary computation with Schur complements. Analogous extensions of Schm\"…

In 2007, Dmytrenko, Lazebnik and Williford posed two related conjectures about polynomials over finite fields. Conjecture~1 is a claim about the uniqueness of certain monomial graphs. Conjecture~2, which implies Conjecture~1, deals with…

We confirm, in dimension two, Blocki's conjectures on sharp lower bounds for Bergman kernels of tube domains. To that end, we verify a broader class of $L^p$-Mahler conjectures due to Berndtsson and the authors, where $p=1$ are Blocki's…

We prove a metrical result on a family of conjectures related to the Littlewood conjecture, namely the original Littlewood conjecture, the mixed Littlewood conjecture of de Mathan and Teuli\'e and a hybrid between a conjecture of Cassels…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety over $\mathbb C$. We prove that a twisted Higgs vector bundle $(\calE\, ,\theta)$ on $X$ admits an Einstein--Hermitian connection if and only if $(\calE\, ,\theta)$ is polystable. A similar result for…

We prove that the number of partitions of an integer into at most b distinct parts of size at most n forms a unimodal sequence for n sufficiently large with respect to b. This resolves a recent conjecture of Stanley and Zanello.

We use a randomised embedding method to prove that for all \alpha>0 any sufficiently large oriented graph G with minimum in-degree and out-degree \delta^+(G),\delta^-(G)\geq (3/8+\alpha)|G| contains every possible orientation of a Hamilton…
