Hans Zassenhaus conjectured that every torsion unit of the integral group ring of a finite group $G$ is conjugate within the rational group algebra to an element of the form $\pm g$ with $g\in G$. This conjecture has been disproved recently…

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…

Zaremba's 1971 conjecture predicts that every integer appears as the denominator of a finite continued fraction whose partial quotients are bounded by an absolute constant. We confirm this conjecture for a set of density one.

The goal of this paper is to introduce Hodge 1-motives of algebraic varieties and to state a corresponding cohomological Grothendieck-Hodge conjecture, generalizing the classical Hodge conjecture to arbitrarily singular proper schemes.

Using iterated vanishing cycles and convolution, we prove a motivic version of a conjecture of Steenbrink concerning the spectrum of hypersurface singularities

Let $R=\mathcal{O}_{\Q(\sqrt{d})}$ for $d<0$, squarefree, $d\neq -1,-3$. We prove Lehmer's conjecture for associated reciprocal polynomials of $R$-matrices; that is, any noncyclotomic $R$-matrix has Mahler measure at least…

We present a set of lectures on topics of advanced calculus in one real and complex variable with several new results and proofs on the subject, specially with detailed proof-always missing in the literature - of the Cissoti explicitly…

In 2020, Cossu and Zanardo raised a conjecture on the idempotent factorization on singular matrices in the form $\begin{pmatrix} p&z\\ \bar{z}&\sfrac{\lVert z\rVert}{p} \end{pmatrix},$ where $p$ is a prime integer which is irreducible but…

We give a simple proof of a crucial lemma that is established in [1, Lemma 2.1] by induction, and plays important roles in that paper and [2].

Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety defined over a finite field. We show that any algebraic $1$-cycle on $X$ is rationally equivalent to a smooth $1$-cycle, which is a $\mathbb{Z}$-linear combination of smooth curves on $X$. We also…

This article is based upon previous work by Sousa Ramos and his collaborators. They first prove that the existence of only one orbit associated with the Collatz conjecture is equivalent to the determinant of each matrix of a certain…

We present a proof of determinant of special nonsymmetric Toeplitz matrices conjectured by An{\dj}eli\'c and Fonseca in \cite{andjelic2020some}. A proof is also demonstrated for a more general theorem. The two conjectures are therefore just…

In this note we prove an assertion made by M. Levin in 1999: the Pascal matrix modulo 2 has the property that each of the square sub-matrices laying on the upper border or on the left border has determinants, computed in $\mathbb{Z}$, equal…

A proof of the Riemann hypothesis using the reflection principle is presented.

This short note gives a positive answer to an old question in elementary probability theory that arose in Furstenberg's seminal article "Disjointness in Ergodic Theory." As a consequence, Furstenberg's filtering theorem holds without any…

This report provides an overview of theorems and statements related to a conjecture stated by D.W. Barnette in 1969 (which is an open problem in graph theory): Every cubic, bipartite, polyhedral graph contains a Hamilton cycle.

The topological Tverberg conjecture was considered a central unsolved problem of topological combinatorics. The conjecture asserts that for any integers $r,d>1$ and any continuous map $f:\Delta\to\mathbb R^d$ of the $(d+1)(r-1)$-dimensional…

Keller proposed a combinatorial conjecture on construction of an n-by-infinite matrix, which comes from showing the existence of many orbits of different sizes in certain linear group actions. He proved it for the case n=4, and we show that…

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

We discuss counterexamples to the validity of the weak Maximum Principle for linear elliptic systems with zero and first order couplings and prove, through a suitable reduction to a nonlinear scalar equation, a quite general result showing…
