We conjecture that every infinite group $G$ can be partitioned into countably many cells $G=\bigcup_{n\in\omega}A_n$ such that $cov(A_nA_n^{-1})=|G|$ for each $n\in\omega$. Here $cov(A)=\min\{|X|:X\subseteq G, G=XA\}$. We confirm this…

In this paper we consider the following conjecture, proposed by Brian Alspach, concerning partial sums in finite cyclic groups: given a subset $A$ of $\mathbb{Z}_n\setminus \{0\}$ of size $k$ such that $\sum_{z\in A} z\not= 0$, it is…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $\psi(G) = \sum_{g \in G} o(g)$, where $o(g)$ denotes the order of $g \in G$. First, we prove that if $G$ is a group of order $n$ and $\psi(G) >31\psi(C_n)/77$, where $C_n$ is the cyclic group of order $n$,…

We prove three main conjectures of Berkovich and Uncu (Ann. Comb. 23 (2019) 263--284) on the inequalities between the numbers of partitions of $n$ with bounded gap between largest and smallest parts for sufficiently large $n$. Actually our…

Let $G\leqslant {\rm Sym}(\Omega)$ be a finite transitive permutation group with point stabiliser $H$. A base for $G$ is a subset of $\Omega$ whose pointwise stabiliser is trivial, and the minimal cardinality of a base is called the base…

We prove a conjecture of Dukes and Herke concerning the possible orders of a basis for the cyclic group Z_n, namely : For each k \in N there exists a constant c_k > 0 such that, for all n \in N, if A \subseteq Z_n is a basis of order…

In this article, we construct generalized harmonic univalent mappings and find its coefficients bounds. We present the counterexample to validate the coefficient conjecture proposed by Clunie and Sheil-Small for the class of functions…

GHZ paradoxes are presented for all even numbers of qubits from four up. They are obtained from proofs of the Kochen-Specker (KS) theorem by showing how the assumption of noncontextuality can be justified on the basis of locality. The…

Hadwiger's conjecture asserts that any graph contains a clique minor with order no less than the chromatic number of the graph. We prove that this well-known conjecture is true for all graphs if and only if it is true for squares of split…

The Bost conjecture with C*-algebra coefficients for locally compact Hausdorff groups passes to open subgroups. We also prove that if a locally compact Hausdorff group acts on a tree, then the Bost conjecture with C*-coefficients is true…

Let ${\cal K}_1(G)$ denote the inverse subsemigroup of ${\cal K}(G)$ consisting of all right cosets of all non-trivial subgroups of $G$. This paper concentrates on the study of the group $\Sigma({\cal K}_1(G))$ of all units of the…

Let $\mathbb N_0$ be the set of non-negative integers, and let $P(n,l)$ denote the set of all weak compositions of $n$ with $l$ parts, i.e., $P(n,l)=\{ (x_1,x_2,\dots, x_l)\in\mathbb N_0^l\ :\ x_1+x_2+\cdots+x_l=n\}$. For any element…

Uhlenbeck introduced an invariant, the (minimal) uniton number, of harmonic 2-spheres in a Lie group G and proved that when G=SU(n) the uniton number cannot exceed n-1. In this paper, using new methods inspired by Morse Theory, we explain…

The Homogeneous sine-Gordon (HSG) theories are integrable perturbations of $G_k/U(1)^{r_G}$ coset CFTs, where $G$ is a simple compact Lie group of rank $r_G$ and $k>1$ is an integer. Using their T-duality symmetries, we investigate the…

We show that for any union-closed family $\mathcal{F} \subseteq 2^{[n]}, \mathcal{F} \neq \{\emptyset\}$, there exists an $i \in [n]$ which is contained in a $0.01$ fraction of the sets in $\mathcal{F}$. This is the first known constant…

Let A_1,...,A_k be a collection of families of subsets of an n-element set. We say that this collection is cross-intersecting if for any i,j in [k] with i not equal to j, A in A_i and B in A_j implies that the intersection of A and B is…

In this paper we provide the complete classification of convex cocompact Kleinian group of Hausdorff dimensions less than $1.$ In particular, we prove that every convex cocompact Kleinian group of Hausdorff dimension $<1$ is a classical…

A famous conjecture of Erd\H os and Straus is that for every integer $n\ge2$, $4/n$ can be represented as $1/x+1/y+1/z$, where $x,y,z$ are positive integers. This conjecture was generalized to $5/n$ by Sierpi\'nski, and then Schinzel…

Let an n-algebra mean an algebra over the chain complex of the little n-cubes operad. We give a proof of Kontsevich's conjecture, which states that for a suitable notion of Hochschild cohomology in the category of n-algebras, the Hochschild…

We give a decomposition of the equivariant Kasparov category for discrete quantum group with torsions. As an outcome, we show that the crossed product by a discrete quantum group in a certain class preserves the UCT. We then show that…
