Doubly non-negative matrices arise naturally in many setting including Markov random fields (positively banded graphical models) and in the convergence analysis of Markov chains. In this short note, we settle a recent conjecture by C.R.…

In this note, we present a conjecture on intersections of set families, and a rephrasing of the conjecture in terms of principal downsets of Boolean lattices. The conjecture informally states that, whenever we can express the measure of a…

We study Nivat's conjecture on algebraic subshifts and prove that in some of them every low complexity configuration is periodic. This is the case in the Ledrappier subshift (the 3-dot system) and, more generally, in all two-dimensional…

In this paper we show that the conjecture of Lemmens and Seidel of 1973 for systems of equiangular lines with common angle $\arccos (1/5)$ is true. Our main tool is forbidden subgraphs for smallest Seidel eigenvalue $-5$.

We prove a non-commutative version of the Hilbert's 17th problem, giving a characterization of the class of non-commutative polynomials in n-undeterminates that have positive trace when evaluated in n-selfadjoint elements in arbitrary II1…

We prove a sharp logarithmic Sobolev inequality which holds for submanifolds in Euclidean space of arbitrary dimension and codimension. Like the Michael-Simon Sobolev inequality, this inequality includes a term involving the mean curvature.

In this paper, we propose the study of a conjecture whose affirmative solution would provide an example of a non-convex Chebyshev set in an infinite-dimensional real Hilbert space.

The Erd\H{o}s-Szekeres conjecture states that any set of more than $2^{n-2}$ points in the plane with no three on a line contains the vertices of a convex $n$-gon. Erd\H{o}s, Tuza, and Valtr strengthened the conjecture by stating that any…

We consider a class of defocusing energy-supercritical nonlinear Schr\"odinger equations in four space dimensions. Following a concentration-compactness approach, we show that for $1<s_c<3/2$, any solution that remains bounded in the…

We prove a new lower bound for the Frobenius norm of the inverse of an non-negative matrix. This bound is only a modest improvement over previous results, but is sufficient for fully resolving a conjecture of Harwitz and Sloane, commonly…

In this paper, we address the solvability of the critical Lane-Emden system \[\begin{cases} -\Delta u=|v|^{p-1}v &\mbox{in } \Omega_\epsilon,\\ -\Delta v=|u|^{q-1}u &\mbox{in } \Omega_\epsilon,\\ u=v=0 &\mbox{on } \partial \Omega_\epsilon,…

We consider compact invariant sets \Lambda for C^{1} maps in arbitrary dimension. We prove that if \Lambda contains no critical points then there exists an invariant probability measure with a Lyapunov exponent \lambda which is the minimum…

Mason's Conjecture asserts that for an $m$--element rank $r$ matroid $\M$ the sequence $(I_k/\binom{m}{k}: 0\leq k\leq r)$ is logarithmically concave, in which $I_k$ is the number of independent $k$--sets of $\M$. A related conjecture in…

In this manuscript we prove the existence of solutions to a fully nonlinear system of (degenerate) elliptic equations of Lane-Emden type and discuss a inhomogeneous generalization.

We prove the Baum--Connes conjecture with arbitrary coefficients for some classes of groups: (1) Linear algebraic groups over a non-archimedean local field. (2) Linear algebraic groups over the adeles of a global field k, provided that at…

In the late 1980s, A. Premet conjectured that the variety of nilpotent elements of any finite dimensional restricted Lie algebra over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$ is irreducible. This conjecture remains open, but it…

We establish -among other things- existence and multiplicity of solutions for the Dirichlet problem $\sum_i\partial_{ii}u+\frac{|u|^{\crit-2}u}{|x|^s}=0$ on smooth bounded domains $\Omega$ of $ \rn$ ($n\geq 3$) involving the critical…

In this paper, we are devoted to studying the positive weak, punctured or distributional solutions to the biharmonic Lane-Emden equation \begin{equation*} \Delta^{2} u=u^{p} \quad \quad \text{in} \ \mathbb{R}^{N}\setminus Z, \end{equation*}…

We introduce the theory of div point sets, which aims to provide a framework to study the combinatoric nature of any set of points in general position on an Euclidean plane. We then show that proving the unsatisfiability of some first-order…

We discuss on existence, nonexistence and uniqueness of positive viscosity solutions for Lane-Emden systems involving the fractional Laplacian on bounded domains. As a byproduct, we obtain the critical hyperbole associated to the these…
