We show an equivalence between a conjecture of Bisztriczky and Fejes T{\'o}th about arrangements of planar convex bodies and a conjecture of Goodman and Pollack about point sets in topological affine planes. As a corollary of this…

We exhibit proofs of two ergodic-theoretic results in the study of multiple recurrence using an analog of the density-increment argument of Roth and Gowers: Furstenberg's Multiple Recurrence Theorem (which implies Szemer\'edi's Theorem),…

According to Paul Erd\H{o}s [Some notes on Tur\'an's mathematical work, J. Approx. Theory 29 (1980), page 4] it was Paul Tur\'an who "created the area of extremal problems in graph theory". However, without a doubt, Paul Erd\H{o}s…

We study the following variant of the Erd\H{o}s distance problem. Given $E$ and $F$ a point sets in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and $p = (p_1, \ldots, p_q)$ with $p_1+ \cdots + p_q = d$ is an increasing partition of $d$ define $$ B_p(E,F)=\{(|x_1-y_1|,…

In our effort to find an arithmetically pure proof of the Bertrand postulate, we investigate and solve (using only elementary arithmetical methods) another less usual inequality in positive integers inspired by the classical proof of the…

In this paper we use computational methods to disprove a conjecture by Alaoglu and Erd\H{o}s regarding the superabundant numbers.

A strictly increasing sequence $\mathscr{A}$ of positive integers is said to be primitive if no term of $\mathscr{A}$ divides any other. Erd\H{o}s showed that the series $\sum_{a \in \mathscr{A}} \frac{1}{a \log a}$, where $\mathscr{A}$ is…

In this note, we present a substantial improvement on the computational complexity of the Erd\"{o}s-Szekeres partitioning problem and review recent works on dynamic \textsf{LIS}.

We answer a number of questions of Erd\H{o}s on the existence of arithmetic progressions in $k$-full numbers (i.e. integers with the property that every prime divisor necessarily occurs to at least the $k$-th power). Further, we deduce a…

We give a relatively easy proof of the Erd\H os-Kac theorem via computing moments. We show how this proof extends naturally in a sieve theory context, and how it leads to several related results in the literature.

We give a short proof of Szemer\'edi's regularity lemma, based on elementary Euclidean geometry. The general line of the proof is that of the standard proof (in fact, of Szemer\'edi's original proof), but most technicalities are swallowed…

The paper contains a survey of the results obtained during the last ten years in the theory of elliptic boundary problems in H\"ormander function spaces, developed by the authors, and other related results of modern analysis. The basics of…

This article proposes a unified analytical approach leading to a partial resolution of the Erdos-Straus, Sierpinski conjectures, and their generalization. We introduce an equivalent reformulation of these conjectures while constructing two…

We develop a quantitative large deviations theory for random hypergraphs, which rests on tensor decomposition and counting lemmas under a novel family of cut-type norms. As our main application, we obtain sharp asymptotics for joint upper…

Szemer\'edi's Theorem states that a set of integers with positive upper density contains arbitrarily long arithmetic progressions. Bergelson and Leibman generalized this, showing that sets of integers with positive upper density contain…

We present a short, digested, human-verified version of the recent OpenAI-generated counterexample to the Erd\H{o}s unit distance conjecture, and a sequence of reflections on it. The argument relies crucially on ideas that may, at least in…

We establish some new generalizations of Erd\H{o}s-Mordell inequality by adding weights to its terms. Using these generalizations, we derived strengthened versions of the original Erd\H{o}s-Mordell inequality. We also found two other…

We show that for any sequence $f: {\bf N} \to \{-1,+1\}$ taking values in $\{-1,+1\}$, the discrepancy $$ \sup_{n,d \in {\bf N}} \left|\sum_{j=1}^n f(jd)\right| $$ of $f$ is infinite. This answers a question of Erd\H{o}s. In fact the…

In their seminal paper from 1983, Erd\H{o}s and Szemer\'edi showed that any $n$ distinct integers induce either $n^{1+\epsilon}$ distinct sums of pairs or that many distinct products, and conjectured a lower bound of $n^{2-o(1)}$. They…
