Let $n$ be a nonzero integer. A set of nonzero integers $\{a_1,\ldots,a_m\}$ such that $a_ia_j+n$ is a perfect square for all $1\leq i<j\leq m$ is called a $D(n)$-$m$-tuple. In this paper, we consider the question, for given integer $n$…

Nobody has discovered any perfect cuboid and there is no formula to deliver all possible Euler bricks. During investigations of famous open problems regarding the perfect cuboid and Euler brick; I have found new important conjectures on…

A $d$-dimensional simplex $S$ is called a $k$-reptile (or a $k$-reptile simplex) if it can be tiled by $k$ simplices with disjoint interiors that are all mutually congruent and similar to $S$. For $d=2$, triangular $k$-reptiles exist for…

We show that under certain conditions, a nontrivial Riemannian submersion from positively curved four manifolds does not exist. This gives a partial answer to a conjecture due to Fred Wilhelm. We also prove a rigidity theorem for Riemannian…

We prove a no-triplets theorem for spin 1 particles, which implies a strengthened form of the no-cloning theorem.

We show that there is no 4-dimensional analogue of the 5-prismatoids used in Santos' recent counterexample to the Hirsch conjecture.

A new simple way to prove the Frobenius conjecture on the dimensions of real algebras without zero divisors is given.

The van Kampen-Flores theorem states that the $d$-skeleton of a $(2d+2)$-simplex does not embed into $\mathbb{R}^{2d}$. We prove the van Kampen-Flores theorem for triangulations of manifolds satisfying a certain condition on their…

We obtain an asymptotic formula for the fourth moment of quadratic Dirichlet $L$--functions over $\mathbb{F}_q[x]$, as the base field $\mathbb{F}_q$ is fixed and the genus of the family goes to infinity. According to conjectures of Andrade…

In this paper, we prove the conjecture that if there is an odd perfect number, then there are infinitely many of them.

Recently N. Levin (Comp. Math. 127 (2001), 1--21) proved the Tate conjecture for ordinary cubic fourfolds over finite fields. In this paper we prove the Tate conjecture for self-products of ordinary cubic fourfolds. Our proof is based on…

Let $D$ be a positive definite quaternion algebra over a totally real number field $K$, $F(X,Y)$ a hermitian form in 2N variables over $D$, and $Z$ a right $D$-vector space which is isotropic with respect to $F$. We prove the existence of a…

We show that the splendid Rickard complexes for blocks with Klein four defect groups constructed by Rickard and Linckelmann descend to non-split fields. As a corollary, Navarro's refinement of the Alperin-McKay conjecture holds for blocks…

We give a new proof of Quillen's conjecture for solvable groups via a geometric and explicit method. For p-solvable groups, we provide both a new proof using the Classification of Finite Simple Groups and an asymptotic version without…

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 show that near-horizon geometries in the presence of a positive cosmological constant cannot exist with ring topology. In particular, de Sitter black rings with vanishing surface gravity do not exist. Our result relies on a known…

First, we prove a special case of Knaster's problem, implying that each symmetric convex body in R^3 admits an inscribed cube. We deduce it from a theorem in equivariant topology, which says that there is no S_4-equivariant map from SO(3)…

In the present paper we prove Liouville-type theorems: non-existence theorems for complete twisted and warped products of Riemannian manifolds which generalize and complement similar results for compact manifolds.

This paper has been withdrawn by the author, due to an error in the proof of Theorem 3.8.

We offer a new proof (and review some known proofs) of Cantor's Powerset Theorem (1891), which concerns the non-existence of a surjective function from a set onto its powerset.
