By employing a weighted Frobenius norm with a positive matrix $\omega$, we introduce natural generalizations of the famous B\"ottcher-Wenzel (BW) inequality. Based on the combination of the weighted Frobenius norm $\|A\|_\omega :=…
We present a generalization of Brouwer's conjectural family of inequalities -- a popular family of inequalities in spectral graph theory bounding the partial sum of the Laplacian eigenvalues of graphs -- for the case of abstract simplicial…
In order to study the Yamabe changing-sign problem, Bahri and Xu proposed a conjecture which is a universal inequality for $p$ points in $\mathbb R^m$. They have verified the conjecture for $p\leq3$. In this paper, we first simplify this…
In 2005, B\"ottcher and Wenzel raised the conjecture that if $X,Y$ are real square matrices, then $||XY-YX||^2\leq 2||X||^2||Y||^2$, where $||\cdot||$ is the Frobenius norm. Various proofs of this conjecture were found in the last few years…
We generalize the inequality being a counterpart of the several complex variables version of the Suita conjecture. For this aim higher order generalizations of the Bergman kernel are introduced. As a corollary some new partial results on…
A generalization of Young's inequality for convolution with sharp constant is conjectured for scenarios where more than two functions are being convolved, and it is proven for certain parameter ranges. The conjecture would provide a unified…
In this paper, we introduce a one parameter generalization of the famous B\"ottcher-Wenzel (BW) inequality in terms of a $q$-deformed commutator. For $n \times n$ matrices $A$ and $B$, we consider the inequality \[…
We formulate and discuss a conjecture which would extend a classical inequality of Bernstein.
We obtain similar types of conclusions as that of Br\"{u}ck [1] for two differential polynomials which in turn radically improve and generalize several existing results. Moreover, a number of examples have been exhibited to justify the…
In 2007, Dmytrenko, Lazebnik and Williford posed two related conjectures about polynomials over finite fields. Conjecture~1 is a claim about the uniqueness of certain monomial graphs. Conjecture~2, which implies Conjecture~1, deals with…
Brouwer conjectured that the sum of the first $k$ largest Laplacian eigenvalues of an $n$-vertex graph is less than or equal to the number of its edges plus $\binom{k+1}{2}$ for each $k\in \{1,2,\cdots,n\}$, which has come to be known as…
Blundell, Buesing, Davies, Veli\v{c}kovi\'c, and Williamson (BBDVW) introduced the notion of a hypercube decomposition of an interval in Bruhat order. They conjectured a recursive formula in terms of this structure which, if shown for all…
Recently Ritter and Weiss introduced an equivariant "main conjecture" than generalizes and refines the Main Conjecture of Iwasawa theory. In this paper, we show that, for the prime 2 and a dihedral extension of order 8 over Q, this…
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…
We show that for any log-concave measure $\mu$ on $\mathbb{R}^n$, any pair of symmetric convex sets $K$ and $L$, and any $\lambda\in [0,1],$ $$\mu((1-\lambda) K+\lambda L)^{c_n}\geq (1-\lambda) \mu(K)^{c_n}+\lambda\mu(L)^{c_n},$$ where…
The Tu--Deng Conjecture is concerned with the sum of digits $w(n)$ of $n$ in base~$2$ (the Hamming weight of the binary expansion of $n$) and states the following: assume that $k$ is a positive integer and $1\leq t<2^k-1$. Then \[\Bigl…
In this short note the authors give answers to the three open problems formulated by Wu and Srivastava [{\it Appl. Math. Lett. 25 (2012), 1347--1353}]. We disprove the Problem 1, by showing that there exists a triangle which does not…
Recently, motivated by supersymmetric gauge theory, Cachazo, Douglas, Seiberg, and Witten proposed a conjecture about finite dimensional simple Lie algebras, and checked it in the classical cases. Later V. Kac and the author proposed a…
We discuss recent versions of the Brunn-Minkowski inequality in the complex setting, and use it to prove the openness conjecture of Demailly and Koll\'ar.
We collect here various conjectures on congruences made by the author in a series of papers, some of which involve binary quadratic forms and other advanced theories. Part A consists of 100 unsolved conjectures of the author while…
