The Polignac's Conjecture, first formulated by Alphonse de Polignac in 1849, asserts that, for any even number M, there exist infinitely many couples of prime numbers P, P+M. When M = 2, this reduces to the Twin Primes Conjecture. Despite…

We propose the following conjecture extending Dirac's theorem: if $G$ is a graph with $n\ge 3$ vertices and minimum degree $\delta(G)\ge n/2$, then in every orientation of $G$ there is a Hamilton cycle with at least $\delta(G)$ edges…

Quadratic conjecture is a strengthening of oliver's $p$-group conjecture. Let $G$ be a $p$-group of maximal class of order $p^n$. We prove that if $n\le 8$ or $n\ge \max\{2p-6,p+2\}$ then $G$ satisfies Quadratic Conjecture. Hence quadratic…

In 2005 Wolfgang Willems put forward a conjecture proposing a lower bound for the sum of squares of the degrees of the irreducible $p$-Brauer characters of a finite group $G$. We prove this conjecture for the prime $p=2$. For this we rely…

We prove the Conley conjecture for a closed symplectically aspherical symplectic manifold: a Hamiltonian diffeomorphism of a such a manifold has infinitely many periodic points. More precisely, we show that a Hamiltonian diffeomorphism with…

In this paper two conjectures are proposed based on which we can prove the first case of Fermat's Last Theorem(FLT) for all primes $p \equiv -1 (\bmod~6)$. With Pollaczek's result {\bf [1]} and the conjectures the first case of FLT can be…

In 2007, Dmytrenko, Lazebnik and Williford posed two related conjectures about polynomials over finite fields. Conjecture~1 is a claim about the uniqueness of certain monomial graphs. Conjecture~2, which implies Conjecture~1, deals with…

Let $E/\mathbf{Q}$ be an elliptic curve and $p\geq 3$ be a prime. We prove the $p$-converse theorems for elliptic curves of potentially good ordinary reduction at Eisenstein primes (i.e., such that the residual representation $E[p]$ is…

The Willmore conjecture, proposed in 1965, concerns the quest to find the best torus of all. This problem has inspired a lot of mathematics over the years, helping bringing together ideas from subjects like conformal geometry, partial…

After long-term efforts, the Hamilton path (cycle) problem for connected vertex-transitive graphs of order $pq$ (where $p$ and $q$ are primes) was finally resolved in 2021, see [10]. Fifteen years ago, mathematicians began addressing this…

This report provides an overview of theorems and statements related to a conjecture stated by D.W. Barnette in 1969 (which is an open problem in graph theory): Every cubic, bipartite, polyhedral graph contains a Hamilton cycle.

Let $D$ be a digraph and let $\lambda(D)$ denote the number of vertices in a longest path of $D$. For a pair of vertex-disjoint induced subdigraphs $A$ and $B$ of $D$, we say that $(A,B)$ is a partition of $D$ if $V(A)\cup V(B)=V(D).$ The…

In this paper we prove the validity of Gibbons' conjecture for the quasilinear elliptic equation $ -\Delta_p u = f(u) $ on $\mathbb{R}^N.$ The result holds true for $(2N+2)/(N+2) < p < 2$ and for a very general class of nonlinearity $f$.
