In this note we address the relation between symbolic and ordinary powers of the ideal of a reduced set or points in projective space: the so-called containment problem. In particular, we obtain sharp lower bounds on the Waldschmidt…

We prove Sarnak's spherical density conjecture for the principal congruence subgroup of SL(n, Z) of arbitrary level. Applications include a complete version of Sarnak's optimal lifting conjecture for principal congruence subgroups of SL(n,…

The Duffin-Schaeffer conjecture is a central open problem in metric number theory. Let $\psi~\mathbb{N} \mapsto \mathbb{R}$ be a non-negative function, and set $\mathcal{E}_n :=\bigcup \left( \frac{a - \psi(n)}{n},\frac{a+\psi(n)}{n}…

In his book "250 Problems in Elementary Number Theory", W.Sierpinski shows that the numbers 1+2^(2^n)+2^(2^n+1) are divisible by 21; for n=1,2,.... In this paper, we prove a similar but more general result.Consider the natural numbers of…

For a set $E\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ that contains the origin we consider $I^m(E)$ -- the set of all $m^{\text{th}}$ degree Taylor approximations (at the origin) of $C^m$ functions on $\mathbb{R}^n$ that vanish on $E$. This set is an ideal in…

For each $n$, let $M_n$ be an $n\times n$ random matrix with independent $\pm 1$ entries. We show that ${\mathbb P}\{\mbox{$M_n$ is singular}\}=(1/2+o_n(1))^n$, which settles an old problem. Some generalizations are considered.

In this article, we prove that in a PI-ring (or polynomial identity ring) $S$, for an element $A \in \mathbb{M}_m(S)$ if $A^n= A^{n+1}X$ for some $n \in \mathbb{N}$ and $X \in \mathbb{M}_m(S)$, then there exists an element $Y\in…

In the present note we prove a conjecture of Demailly for finite sets of sufficiently many very general points in projective spaces. This gives a lower bound on Waldschmidt constants of such sets. Waldschmidt constants are asymptotic…

This paper conglomerates our findings on the space $C(X)$ of all real valued continuous functions, under different generalizations of the topology of uniform convergence and the $m$-topology. The paper begins with answering all the…

Let $M$ be a submanifold of ${\Bbb P}^N$ of dimension $n>2$. Suppose that $(M,{\Cal O}_M(1))\cong{\Bbb P}({\Cal E}),{\Cal O}(1))$ for some vector bundle ${\Cal E}$ on a surface $S$. Then $N\ge 2n-1$ by Barth-Lefschetz Theorem. We are…

Let M be a closed minimal hypersurface in 5-dimensional Euclidean sphere with constant nonnegative scalar curvature. We prove that, if the sum of the cubes of all principal curvatures and the number of distinct principal curvatures are…

Let M be a closed embedded minimal hypersurface in a Euclidean sphere of dimension n+1, we prove that it is strongly rigid. As applications we confirm the conjecture proposed by Choi and Schoen in [3] and the Chern conjecture for n less…

We give a generalization to higher dimensions of Silverman's result on finiteness of integer points in orbits. Assuming Vojta's conjecture, we prove a sufficient condition for morphisms on P^N so that (S,D)-integral points in each orbit are…

By the m-spectrum of a real number q>1 we mean the set Y^m(q) of values p(q) where p runs over the height m polynomials with integer coefficients. These sets have been extensively investigated during the last fifty years because of their…

Sendov's conjecture, which was first introduced in the last 50s, asserts that if all the zeros of a polynomial $p$ lie in the closed unit disk then for each zero there must be a critical point of $p$ within unit distance. This paper…

Let $X \subset \mathbb{C}^n$ be an algebraic variety, and let $\Lambda \subset \mathbb{C}^n$ be a discrete subgroup whose real and complex spans agree. We describe the topological closure of the image of $X$ in $\mathbb{C}^n / \Lambda$,…

Let $1 \to N \to G \to G/N \to 1$ be a short exact sequence of countable discrete groups and let $B$ be any $G$-$C^*$-algebra. In this paper, we show that the strong Novikov conjecture with coefficients in $B$ holds for such a group $G$…

It is shown that $m$ disjoint sets with fixed Gaussian volumes that partition $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ with minimum Gaussian surface area must be $(m-1)$-dimensional. This follows from a second variation argument using infinitesimal translations.…

An ideal $I$ is a family of subsets of positive integers $\mathbb{N}$ which is closed under taking finite unions and subsets of its elements. A sequence $(x_k)$ of real numbers is said to be lacunary $I$-convergent to a real number $\ell$,…

We prove Demailly's Conjecture concerning the lower bound for the Waldschmidt constant in terms of the initial degree of the second symbolic powers for any set of generic points or very general points in $\mathbb{P}^N$. We also discuss the…
