In 1979, B. Shiffman conjectured that if f is an algebraically nondegenerate holomorphic map of C into P^n and D_1,...,D_q are hypersurfaces in P^n in general position, then the sum of the defects is at most n+1. This conjecture was proved…
It is conjectured that the dual variety of every smooth nonlinear subvariety of dimension $> \frac{2N}{3}$ in projective $N$-space is a hypersurface, an expectation known as the duality defect conjecture. This would follow from the truth of…
The $p$-adic Littlewood Conjecture due to De Mathan and Teuli\'e asserts that for any prime number $p$ and any real number $\alpha$, the equation $$\inf_{|m|\ge 1} |m|\cdot |m|_p\cdot |\langle m\alpha \rangle|\, =\, 0 $$ holds. Here, $|m|$…
We prove the Effective Bogomolov Conjecture, and so the Bogomolov Conjecture, over a function field of characteristic 0 by proving Zhang's Conjecture about certain invariants of metrized graphs. In the function field case, these conjectures…
In light of the well-known fact that the $n$th divided difference of any polynomial of degree $m$ must be zero while $m<n$,the present paper proves the $(\alpha,\beta)$-inversion formula conjectured by Hsu and Ma [J. Math. Res. $\&$…
The conjecture of Brown, Erd\H{o}s and S\'os from 1973 states that, for any $k \ge 3$, if a $3$-uniform hypergraph $H$ with $n$ vertices does not contain a set of $k+3$ vertices spanning at least $k$ edges then it has $o(n^2)$ edges. The…
Under certain assumptions (including $d\ge 2)$ we prove that the spectrum of a scalar operator in $\mathscr{L}^2(\mathbb{R}^d)$ \begin{equation*} A_\varepsilon (x,hD)= A^0(hD) + \varepsilon B(x,hD), \end{equation*} covers interval…
Finding a good bound on the maximal edge diameter $\Delta(d,n)$ of a polytope in terms of its dimension $d$ and the number of its facets $n$ is one of the basic open questions in polytope theory \cite{BG}. Although some bounds are known,…
The Atiyah-Sutcliffe normalized determinant function $D$ is a smooth complex-valued function on $C_n(H^3)$, where $C_n(H^3)$ denotes the configuration space of $n$ distinct points in hyperbolic $3$-space $H^3$. The hyperbolic version of the…
This article surveys our ongoing project about the relationship between invariants extending the classical Rohlin invariant of homology spheres and those coming from 4-dimensional (Yang-Mills) gauge theory. The main conjecture towards which…
Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$, let G=GL_n be the general linear group over $k$, let g=gl_n be its Lie algebra and let $D_s$ be subalgebra of the divided power algebra of g^* spanned by the divided power…
In 2004, Han proposed the following conjecture: let $B$ be a finite-dimensional $k$-algebra. If $\mathrm{HH}_{n}(B)\neq 0$ for only finitely many $n\in \mathbb{Z}$, then $B$ is smooth. This conjecture can be generalized to the DG setting:…
Fuglede's conjecture in $\mathbb{Z}_{p}^{d}$, $p$ a prime, says that a subset $E$ tiles $\mathbb{Z}_{p}^{d}$ by translation if and only if $E$ is spectral, meaning any complex-valued function $f$ on $E$ can be written as a linear…
By analyzing the connection between complex Hadamard matrices and spectral sets we prove the direction ``spectral -> tile'' of the Sectral Set Conjecture for all sets A of size at most 5 in any finite Abelian group. This result is then…
We develop a three-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=4$ theory of rigid supersymmetry describing the dynamics of a set of hypermultiplets $(\Lambda^{\alpha\alpha'\dot{\alpha}'}_I,\,\phi^{\alpha A}_I)$ on a curved AdS$_3$ worldvolume background,…
In this note, we give two applications of \cite[Theorem 3.1]{Hwang}. We first study the free family $\mathcal{K}$ of hyperplane sections of the smooth hypersurface $X\subset\mathbb{P}^{n+1}$ of degree $d\ge 3$. We prove that $X$ is…
Let X be a complex Banach space of dimension at least 2, and let S be a multiplicative semigroup of operators on X such that the rank of AB - BA is at most 1 for all pairs {A,B} in S. We prove that S has a non-trivial invariant subspace…
When reduced from $10$ to $10-d$ dimensions tree-level string theory exhibits an $O(d,d)$ symmetry. This symmetry, which is closely related to T-duality, appears only after certain field redefinitions. We find a simple form for a subset of…
It is well-known that, in general, an appearance of an algebraic hypersurface of finite multiplicity in the projective joint spectrum of an operator tuple does not imply the existence of a finite-dimensional common invariant subspace.We…
The generalized volume conjecture and the AJ conjecture (a.k.a. the quantum volume conjecture) are extended to $U_q(\fraksl_2)$ colored quantum invariants of the theta and tetrahedron graph. The $\SL(2,\bC)$ character variety of the…
