Inspired by the classical Poincar\'e criterion about the instability of orientation preserving minimizing closed geodesics on surfaces, we investigate the relation intertwining the instability and the variational properties of periodic…
The law of centripetal force governing the motion of celestial bodies in eccentric conic sections, has been established and thoroughly investigated by Sir Isaac Newton in his Principia Mathematica. Yet its profound implications on the…
The purpose of this letter is to show, on the one hand, how the so-called train paradox could be resolved directly without appealing to non-linear Lorentz transformations. The resolution is established in the most general case of…
We revisit the classical pursuit curve problem solved by Pierre Bouguer in the 18th century, taking into account that information propagates at a finite speed. To a certain extent, this could be seen as a relativistic correction to that…
Serious mathematical defect in the important kinematics theorem known in continuum mechanics as Convection (or Transport) Theorem is reported. We claim that the traditional demonstration does not take into account a special constraint on…
The Sitnikov problem is a special case of the restricted three-body problem where the primaries moves in elliptic orbits of the two-body problem with eccentricity $e\in [0,1[$ and the massless body moves on a straight line perpendicular to…
In the early 1930's, Erwin Schroedinger, motivated by his quest for a more classical formulation of quantum mechanics, posed a large deviation problem for a cloud of independent Brownian particles. He showed that the solution to the problem…
We study the existence of non-collision periodic solutions with Newtonian potentials for the following planar restricted 4-body problems: Assume that the given positive masses $m_{1},m_{2},m_{3}$ in a Lagrange configuration move in circular…
In this paper we present proofs of basic results, including those developed so far by H. Bell, for the plane fixed point problem. Some of these results had been announced much earlier by Bell but without accessible proofs. We define the…
An elastic double pendulum subject to a force acting along a fixed straight line, the so-called "Reut's column problem", is a structure exhibiting flutter and divergence instability, which was never realized in practice and thus debated…
The radical solution of polynomials with rational coefficients is a famous solved problem. This paper found that it is a $\mathbb{NP}$ problem. Furthermore, this paper found that arbitrary $ \mathscr{P} \in \mathbb{P}$ shall have a one-way…
Vectorial analysis relating to derivation of deflection of light is presented. Curvilinear acceleration is distinguished from the Newtonian polar conic acceleration. The difference between the two is due to the curvature term. Lorentz…
Solutions of the quartic Fermat equation in ring class fields of odd conductor over quadratic fields $K=\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-d})$ with $-d \equiv 1$ (mod $8$) are shown to be periodic points of a fixed algebraic function $T(z)$ defined on the…
We consider the Izergin-Korepin determinant [1] together with another determinant which was invented by Kuperberg [2]. He used these determinants to prove a formula for the total number of half-turn symmetric alternating sign matrices of…
In this note, we consider a Robin-type traction problem for a linearly elastic body occupying an infinite periodically perforated domain. After proving the uniqueness of the solution we use periodic elastic layer potentials to show that the…
In 2010, Vladimir Voevodsky gave a lecture on "What If Current Foundations of Mathematics Are Inconsistent?" Among other things he said that he was seriously suspicious that an inconsistency in PA (first-order Peano arithmetic) might…
The path integral for a point particle in a Coulomb potential is solved in momentum space. The solution permits us to give for the first time a negative answer to an old question of quantum mechanics in curved spaces raised in 1957 by…

In solid state physics, it is an unsaid (tacit) assumption that the Bloch theorem is applicable to a crystal lattice even if it is of the macroscopic dimensions, provided periodicity is maintained. However, in a realistic situation,…
The paper is concerned with the problem on rolling of a homogeneous ball on an arbitrary surface. New cases when the problem is solved by quadratures are presented. The paper also indicates a special case when an additional integral and…
