The Schinzel hypothesis is a famous conjectural statement about primes in value sets of polynomials, which generalizes the Dirichlet theorem about primes in an arithmetic progression. We consider the situation that the ring of integers is…

Let $M$ be a smooth closed orientable surface and $F=F_{p,q,r}$ be the space of Morse functions on $M$ having exactly $p$ critical points of local minima, $q\ge1$ saddle critical points, and $r$ critical points of local maxima, moreover all…

Let $Z\subset{\bf P}^{n-1}$ be a hypersurface such that the associated reduced hypersurface $Z_{\rm red}$ has only weighted homogeneous isolated singularities. In the case $Z$ is a reduced curve or $Z_{\rm red}$ has only homogeneous…

Introduced by Goulden and Jackson in their 1996 paper, the matchings-Jack conjecture and the hypermap-Jack conjecture (also known as the $b$-conjecture) are two major open questions relating Jack symmetric functions, the representation…

The polynomial Szemer\'{e}di theorem implies that, for any $\delta \in (0,1)$, any family $\{P_1,\ldots, P_m\} \subset \mathbb{Z}[y]$ of nonconstant polynomials with constant term zero, and any sufficiently large $N$, every subset of…

Initiated by a result of Gorin and Marcus [Int. Math. Res. Not., (3):883--913, 2020] and an observation of Steinerberger [Proc. Amer. Math. Soc., 147(11):4733--4744, 2019], there has been a recent growing body of literature connecting…

We first establish a general random Sperner lemma by presenting a completely new approach for the theory of $L^{0}$-simplicial subdivisions of $L^{0}$-simplexes. Based on this, we are able to achieve a new complete proof of the random…

The existence of a well-behaved dimension of a finite von Neumann algebra (see [19]) has lead to the study of such a dimension of finite Baer *-rings (see [26]) that satisfy certain *-ring axioms (used in [9]). This dimension is closely…

Pairing symmetry plays a central role in the study of superconductivity. It is usually characterized by integer partial-waves, for example, $s$-, $p$-, $d$-waves. In this article, we investigate a new class of topological superconductivity…

For a positive integer $n$, a collection $S$ of subsets of $[n]=\{1,\ldots,n\}$ is called symmetric if $X\in S$ implies $X^\ast\in S$, where $X^\ast:=\{i\in [n]\colon n-i+1\notin X\}$ (the involution $\ast$ was introduced by Karpman).…

A graph G is perfect if for every induced subgraph H, the chromatic number of H equals the size of the largest complete subgraph of H, and G is Berge if no induced subgraph of G is an odd cycle of length at least 5 or the complement of one.…

We prove a topological version of the section conjecture for the profinite completion of the fundamental group of finite CW-complexes equipped with the action of a group of prime order $p$ whose $p$-torsion cohomology can be killed by…

In 1961, P. Erd\H{o}s, A. Ginzburg, and A. Ziv proved a remarkable theorem stating that each set of $2n-1$ integers contains a subset of size $n$, the sum of whose elements is divisible by $n$. We will prove a similar result for pairs of…

A theorem of Tverberg from 1966 asserts that every set $X\subset\mathbb{R}^d$ of $n=T(d,r)=(d+1)(r-1)+1$ points can be partitioned into $r$ pairwise disjoint subsets, whose convex hulls have a point in common. Thus every such partition…

Let $G = (V,E)$ be a simple finite graph. The corresponding bunkbed graph $G^\pm$ consists of two copies $G^+ = (V^+,E^+),G^- = (V^-,E^-)$ of $G$ and additional edges connecting any two vertices $v_+ \in V_+,v_- \in V_-$ that are the copies…

Dirichlet's $L$-functions are natural extensions of the Riemann zeta function. In this paper we first give a brief survey of Ap\'ery-like series for some special values of the zeta function and certain $L$-functions. Then, we establish two…

We expand upon the notion of bottlenecking introduced in our earlier work, characterizing a spectrum of graphs and showing that this naturally extends to a concept of coarse bottlenecking. We show how the notion of bottlenecking provides a…

The class $\MIP^*$ of promise problems that can be decided through an interactive proof system with multiple entangled provers provides a complexity-theoretic framework for the exploration of the nonlocal properties of entanglement. Little…

Blickle, Musta\c{t}\u{a} and Smith proposed two conjectures on the limits of $F$-pure thresholds. One conjecture asks whether or not the limit of a sequence of $F$-pure thresholds of principal ideals on regular local rings of fixed…

A collection $\mathcal{C}$ of $k$-element subsets of $\{1,2,\ldots,m\}$ is weakly separated if for each $I, J \in \mathcal{C}$, when the integers $1,2,\ldots,m$ are arranged around in a circle, there is a chord separating $I \backslash J$…
