This is an elementary geometrical proof of Birkhoff theorem. It is hardly important, but the pictures behind are quite nice.

We give a pen and paper and (comparatively) much simpler proof to verify of the Four Colour Theorem.

We use Beltrami's theorem as an excuse to present some arguments from parabolic differential geometry without any of the parabolic machinery.

We present a short proof, relaying on the divergence theorem, verifying that minimal sets in the plane are trivial.

Most of the assertions in the theory of well ordered sets are quite simple. However, one of its central statements, Zermelo's theorem, stands out of this rule, for its well-known proofs are rather complicated. The aim of the current paper…

We give an alternative proof of Kov\'acs' vanishing theorem. Our proof is based on the standard arguments of the minimal model theory. We do not need the notion of Du Bois pairs. We reduce Kov\'acs' vanishing theorem to the well-known…

In the paper we complete a case by case proof of Reeder's Conjecture started in our previous work, proving the conjecture for simple Lie algebras of type $D$ and for the exceptional cases.

We present a proof of Roth's theorem that follows a slightly different structure to the usual proofs, in that there is not much iteration. Although our proof works using a type of density increment argument (which is typical of most proofs…

These informal notes, not intended for publication, provide an approach to the Borsuk--Ulam theorem via Stokes' theorem, in a similar spirit to Lima's proof of the Brouwer fixed point theorem. They are intended to be accessible to anyone…

Standard proofs of Lusin's theorem, using simple functions, are sometimes quite elaborate. Here, we give a one-sentence proof of Lusin's theorem. We do not believe our approach, by way of inverse images, is new. However, this particular…

We announce here that Fermat's Last theorem was solved, but there is an easy proof of it on the basis of elemetary undergraduate mathematics. We shall disclose such an easy proof.

We provide an alternative proof that $\sqrt{2}$ is irrational that does not begin with the assumption that $\sqrt{2}$ is in fact rational.
