If the non-commutative L p space of SLn(Z) has the completely bounded approximation property for some non-trivial value of p, then some form of the Kakeya conjecture holds in dimension d, for all d $\le$ n+1 2 . The proof relies on a…
The field of $p$-adic numbers $\mathbb{Q}_p$ and the ring of $p$-adic integers $\mathbb{Z}_p$ are essential constructions of modern number theory. Hensel's lemma, described by Gouv\^ea as the "most important algebraic property of the…
We show that for any separably closed field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$, the canonical functor from nilpotent $p$-adic spaces to $\mathbb{E}_{\infty}$-coalgebras over $k$ (given by singular chains with coefficients in $k$) is fully…
A fundamental theorem of linear algebra asserts that every basis for the vector space $\mathbb{R}^n$ has $n$ elements. In this expository note we present a theorem of W. G. Leavitt describing one way in which this invariant basis number…
We show that with high probability, random rank 1 matrices over a finite field are in (linearly) general position, at least provided their shape k x l is not excessively unbalanced. This translates into saying that the dimension of the…
Let k be a totally real number field ant let k$\infty$ be its cyclotomic Zp-extension for a prime p\textgreater{}2. We give (Theorem 3.2) a sufficient condition of nullity of the Iwasawa invariants lambda, mu, when p totally splits in k,…
Let $A \in Z^{m \times n}$, $rank(A) = n$, $b \in Z^m$, and $P$ be an $n$-dimensional polyhedron, induced by the system $A x \leq b$. It is a known fact that if $F$ is a $k$-face of $P$, then there exist at least $n-k$ linearly independent…
The Fuglede conjecture states that a set is spectral if and only if it tiles by translation. The conjecture was disproved by T. Tao for dimensions 5 and higher by giving a counterexample in $\mathbb{Z}_3^5$. We present a computer program…
In the 1960s Arnold conjectured that a Hamiltonian diffeomorphism of a closed connected symplectic manifold $(M,\omega)$ should have at least as many contractible fixed points as a smooth function on $M$ has critical points. Such a…
The ternary Goldbach conjecture states that every odd number $n\geq 7$ is the sum of three primes. The estimation of the Fourier series $\sum_{p\leq x} e(\alpha p)$ and related sums has been central to the study of the problem since Hardy…
In this paper we present an unexpected link between the Factorial Conjecture and Furter's Rigidity Conjecture. The Factorial Conjecture in dimension $m$ asserts that if a polynomial $f$ in $m$ variables $X_i$ over $\C$ is such that ${\cal…
We show that any Littlewood--Paley square function $S$ satisfying a minimal local testing condition is dominated by a sparse form, \begin{equation*} \langle (Sf)^2,g \rangle\le C \sum_{I \in \mathscr{S}} \langle \lvert f\rvert\rangle_I^2…
Let $p$ be a prime and $\mathcal{K}$ be an imaginary quadratic field. In this paper we generalize a recent construction of a new type of $p$-adic $L$-function and $p$-adic Waldspurger formula by Andreatta-Iovita for $p$ non-split in…
We show by an inclusion-exclusion argument that the prime $k$-tuple conjecture of Hardy and Littlewood provides an asymptotic formula for the number of consecutive prime numbers which are a specified distance apart. This refines one aspect…
The three gap theorem (or Steinhaus conjecture) asserts that there are at most three distinct gap lengths in the fractional parts of the sequence $\alpha,2\alpha,\ldots,N\alpha$, for any integer $N$ and real number $\alpha$. This statement…
In this paper we discuss a general framework in which we present a new conjecture, due to Wenhua Zhao, the Image Conjecture. This conjecture implies the Generalized Vanishing Conjecture and hence the Jacobian Conjecture. Crucial ingredient…
In 1947, Lehmer conjectured that the Ramanujan's tau function $\tau (m)$ never vanishes for all positive integers $m$, where $\tau (m)$ is the $m$-th Fourier coefficient of the cusp form $\Delta_{24}$ of weight 12. The theory of spherical…
We prove that almost any pair of real numbers a,b, satisfies the following inhomogeneous uniform version of Littlewood's conjecture: (*) forall x,y in R, liminf_{|n|\to\infty} |n|<na - x> <nb - y> = 0, where <-> denotes the distance from…
Let $l$ and $p$ be primes, let $F/\mathbb{Q}_p$ be a finite extension with absolute Galois group $G_F$, let $\mathbb{F}$ be a finite field of characteristic $l$, and let $\bar{\rho} : G_F \rightarrow GL_n(\mathbb{F})$ be a continuous…
We prove that the Tate conjecture in codimension $1$ over a finitely generated field follows from the same conjecture for surfaces over its prime subfield. In positive characteristic, this is due to de Jong--Morrow over $\mathbf{F}_p$ and…
