Proofs of the fundamental theorem of algebra can be divided up into three groups according to the techniques involved: proofs that rely on real or complex analysis, algebraic proofs, and topological proofs. Algebraic proofs make use of the…
The issue and proof of Gurzadyan theorem are presented concisely, avoiding tedious and unnecessary calculations that would mask what is essential. The goal is to provide a good mathematical and physical understanding of the theorem, making…
A variational proof is provided of the existence and uniqueness of evolutions of regular Lagrangian systems.
We use Herbrand's theorem to give a new proof that Euclid's parallel axiom is not derivable from the other axioms of first-order Euclidean geometry. Previous proofs involve constructing models of non-Euclidean geometry. This proof uses a…
We present a short new proof of Cobham's theorem without using Kronecker's approximation theorem, making it suitable for generalization beyond automatic sequences.
We give a direct geometric proof of the quantum Monk's formula which relies only on classical Schubert calculus.
The goal of this notice is to present a proof of Bachet's conjecture based exclusively on the fundamental theorem of arithmetic. The novelty of this proof consists in its introduction of a partial order on rational integers through the…
We prove a generalized version of Renault's theorem for Cartan subalgebras. We show that the original assumptions of second countability and separability are not needed. This weakens the assumption of topological principality of the…
We present an illustrative application of the two famous mathematical theorems in differential topology in order to show the existence of periodic orbits with arbitrary given period for a class of hamiltonians .This result point out for a…
We present a short proof of Jin's theorem which is entirely elementary, in the sense that no use is made of nonstandard analysis, ergodic theory, measure theory, ultrafilters, or other advanced tools. The given proof provides the explicit…
It is shown that the basic equations of quantum theory can be obtained from a straightforward application of logical inference to experiments for which there is uncertainty about individual events and for which the frequencies of the…
We give an elementary, Fourier-free proof of Roth's theorem. The proof follows Roth's original density-increment strategy, but replaces the usual Fourier-analytic step with a direct combinatorial argument involving averages over…
The recently developed proof of Fermat's Last Theorem is very lengthy and difficult, so much so as to be beyond all but a small body of specialists. While certainly of value in the developments that resulted, that proof could not be, nor…
We illustrate a simple derivation of the Schrodinger equation, which requires only knowledge of the electromagnetic wave equation and the basics of Einstein's special theory of relativity. We do this by extending the wave equation for…
This expository note presents a constructive proof of Wigner's theorem using only a few basic facts about Hilbert spaces, such as the existence of orthonormal bases and the Fourier decomposition of a vector. Our proof is based on a proof by…
An analytical approximation to periodic orbits in the circular restricted three-body problem is provided. The formulation given in this work is based in calculations known from classical mechanics, but with the addition of the necessary…
We prove the decidability of the elementary theory of a free group.
When introduced in a 2018 article in the American Mathematical Monthly, the omega integral was shown to be an extension of the Riemann integral. Although results for continuous functions such as the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus follow…
We give a simple Tauberian proof of the Prime Number Theorem using only elementary real analysis. Hence, the analytic continuation of Riemann's zeta function $\zeta$ and its non-vanishing value on the whole line $\{z\in {\mathbb…
A classical theorem by Jacobson says that a ring in which every element $x$ satisfies the equation $x^n=x$ for some $n>1$ is commutative. According to Birkhoff's Completeness Theorem, if $n$ is fixed, there must be an equational proof of…
