In this article we encode Hadwiger's covering conjecture and Borsuk's partition conjecture into continuous functions defined on the spaces of convex bodies, propose a four-step program to approach them, and obtain some partial results.

Constrained Hamiltonian description of the classical limit is utilized in order to derive consistent dynamical equations for hybrid quantum-classical systems. Starting with a compound quantum system in the Hamiltonian formulation conditions…

We study the evolution, under convex Hamiltonian flows on cotangent bundles of compact manifolds, of certain distinguished subsets of the phase space. These subsets are generalizations of Lagrangian graphs, we call them pseudographs. They…

We study the Hodge conjecture for certain families of varieties over arithmetic quotients of balls and Siegel domain of degree two. As a byproduct, we derive formulas for Hodge numbers in terms of automorphic forms.

We survey Vojta's higher-dimensional generalizations of the $abc$ conjecture and Szpiro's conjecture as well as recent developments that apply them to various problems in arithmetic dynamics. In particular, the "$abcd$ conjecture" implies a…

The purpose of this paper is to generalize the classical Mazur's lemma from the classical convex analysis to the framework of locally $L^0$-convex modules. In this version an extra condition of countable concatenation is included. We…

This article is part of an ongoing investigation of the two-dimensional Jacobian conjecture. In the first paper of this series, we proved the generalized Magnus' formula. In this paper, inspired by cluster algebras, we introduce a sequence…

We extend some aspects of the Hamilton-Jacobi theory to the category of stochastic Hamiltonian dynamical systems. More specifically, we show that the stochastic action satisfies the Hamilton-Jacobi equation when, as in the classical…

Serious mathematical defect in the important kinematics theorem known in continuum mechanics as Convection (or Transport) Theorem is reported. We claim that the traditional demonstration does not take into account a special constraint on…
