This note presents a simple proof of the characteristic function of Student's $t$-distribution. The method of proof, which involves finding a differential equation satisfied by the characteristic function, is applicable to many other…
We present an elementary proof concerning reciprocal transmittances and reflectances. The proof is direct, simple, and valid for the diverse objects that can be absorptive and induce diffraction and scattering, as long as the objects…
This note gives an informal overview of the proof in our paper "Borel Conjecture and Dual Borel Conjecture", see arXiv:1105.0823.
A Lefschetz module is a module over a graded algebra $A$ that satisfies analogues of Poincar\'{e} duality, the Hard Lefschetz property, and the Hodge--Riemann relations with respect to an open convex cone $\mathscr{K}$ in the degree one…
We give a short direct proof of Agler's factorization theorem that uses the abstract characterization of operator algebras. the key ingredient of this proof is an operator algebra factorization theorem. Our proof provides some additional…
We give a short and self-contained proof of Levi's Extension Lemma for pseudoline arrangements.
In this note, we derive a Leibniz rule for difference quotient.
We solve a long-standing problem by enumerating the number of non-degenerate Desargues configurations. We extend the result to the more difficult case involving Desargues blockline structures in Section 8. A transparent proof of Desargues…
This short note present a "proof" of $P\neq NP$. The "proof" with double quotation marks is to indicate that we do not know whether the proof is correct or not (We're confused because we do know in which we make the mistakes).
The main aim of this paper is to promote a certain style of doing coinductive proofs, similar to inductive proofs as commonly done by mathematicians. For this purpose, we provide a reasonably direct justification for coinductive proofs…
One of the most famous results in Complex Analysis is the Little Picard Theorem, that characterizes the image set of an arbitrary entire function. Specifically, the theorem states that this image set is either the whole complex plane or the…
We prove the decomposition conjecture of Leclerc and Thibon for the Schur algebra. We also give a new approach to the Lusztig conjecture for the dimension of the simple U(sl_k)-modules at roots of unity via canonical bases of the Hall…
We give a simple proof of a pointwise decay estimate in 3+1 dimensions stated in two versions, making advantage of a particular simplicity of inverting the spherically symmetric part of the wave operator and of the comparison theorem. We…
We present a self-contained elementary and detailed exposition of Mertens' own proof of his theorem on the divergence of the series of the reciprocals of the primes and compare it with the modern proofs. His proof contains explicit…
The purpose of this note is to give a short proof of a theorem of Koll\'ar that the derived direct image of the canonical sheaf splits into a sum of its cohomology sheaves. This is deduced from a stronger decomposition theorem for direct…
We give a short proof of a strengthening of the Maximal Ergodic Theorem which also immediately yields the Pointwise Ergodic Theorem.
We give an elementary, self-contained, and purely combinatorial proof of the Rayleigh monotonicity property of graphs.
The purpose of this lecture is to describe the KAM theorem in its most basic form and to give a complete and detailed proof. This proof essentially follows the traditional lines laid out by the inventors of this theory, and the emphasis is…
In this note, we present a simpler way to prove the compactness of the closed intervals in simply ordered set with order topology.
This article present a new, direct and simple formula for constructing Mignotte sequences.
