Spacetimes in which the electric part of the Weyl tensor vanishes (relative to some timelike unit vector field) are said to be purely magnetic. Examples of purely magnetic spacetimes are known and are relatively easy to construct, if no…

The {\em superspace ring} of rank $n$ is the algebra $\Omega_n$ of differential forms on affine $n$-space. The algebra $\Omega_n$ is bigraded with respect to polynomial and exterior degree and carries a natural action of the symmetric group…

The combinatorial invariance conjecture (due independently to G. Lusztig and M. Dyer) predicts that if $[x,y]$ and $[x',y']$ are isomorphic Bruhat posets (of possibly different Coxeter systems), then the corresponding Kazhdan-Lusztig…

The origins of the notion of matchings in groups spawn from a linear algebra problem proposed by E. K. Wakeford [24] which was tackled in 1996 [10]. In this paper, we first discuss unmatchable subsets in abelian groups. Then we formulate…

In 1975 Szemer\'edi proved that a set of integers of positive upper density contains arbitrarily long arithmetic progressions. Bergelson and Leibman showed in 1996 that the common difference of the arithmetic progression can be a square, a…

The $1/3$-$2/3$ Conjecture, originally formulated in 1968, is one of the best-known open problems in the theory of posets, stating that the balance constant (a quantity determined by the linear extensions) of any non-total order is at least…

Given a sequence (a_k) = a_0, a_1, a_2,... of real numbers, define a new sequence L(a_k) = (b_k) where b_k = a_k^2 - a_{k-1} a_{k+1}. So (a_k) is log-concave if and only if (b_k) is a nonnegative sequence. Call (a_k) "infinitely…

In 2005, Watanabe and Yoshida formulated a conjecture for a lower bound of the Hilbert-Kunz multiplicity of local rings that was recently settled by Meng using analytic methods. More recently, Pak-Shapiro-Smirnov-Yoshida used Ehrhart theory…

In [1], J. Ax proved a transcendency theorem for certain differential fields of characteristic zero: the differential counterpart of the still open Schanuel's conjecture about the exponential function over the field of complex numbers [11,…

We consider the problem of determining the maximum number of common zeros in a projective space over a finite field for a system of linearly independent multivariate homogeneous polynomials defined over that field. There is an elaborate…

Decomposition complexity for metric spaces was recently introduced by Guentner, Tessera, and Yu as a natural generalization of asymptotic dimension. We prove a vanishing result for the continuously controlled algebraic K-theory of bounded…

We study the number of (set-theoretically) defining equations of Segre products of projective spaces times certain projective hypersurfaces, extending results by Singh and Walther. Meanwhile, we prove some results about the cohomological…

In the preprint of 1993 the author formulated some conjectures on monotonicity of ratios for exponential series remainders. They are equivalent to conjectures on monotonicity of a ratio of Kummer hypergeometric functions and presumably not…

This is a survey of recent advances in commutative algebra, especially in mixed characteristic, obtained by using the theory of perfectoid spaces. An explanation of these techniques and a short account of the author's proof of the direct…

Turner's Conjecture describes all blocks of symmetric groups and Hecke algebras up to derived equivalence in terms of certain double algebras. With a view towards a proof of this conjecture, we develop a general theory of Turner doubles. In…

We construct a four-term exact sequence which provides information on the kernel and cokernel of the multiplication by a pure symbol in Milnor's K-theory mod 2 of fields of characteristic zero. As an application we establish, for fields of…

We show that a weak version of the canonical bundle formula holds for fibrations of relative dimension one. We provide various applications thereof, for instance, using the recent result of Xu and Zhang, we prove the log non-vanishing…

Given a family of smooth complex projective varieties, the Hodge conjecture predicts the algebraicity of the locus of Hodge classes. This was proven unconditionnally by Cattani, Deligne and Kaplan in 1995. In a similar way, conjectures on…

Let $F$ be a finite field, $\mu$ be a fixed additive character and $s$ be an integer coprime to $|F^\times|$. For any $a\in F$, the corresponding Weil sum is defined to be $W_{F,s}(a)=\displaystyle\sum_{x \in F} \mu(x^s-ax)$. The Weil…

In 1971 Kac and Weisfeiler made two important conjectures regarding the representation theory of restricted Lie algebras over fields of positive characteristic. The first of these predicts the maximal dimension of the simple modules, and…
