In this paper we present new versions of the classical Brunn-Minkowski inequality for different classes of measures and sets. We show that the inequality \[ \mu(\lambda A + (1-\lambda)B)^{1/n} \geq \lambda \mu(A)^{1/n} +…

We first study the mean value of certain restricted divisor sums involving the Chowla-Walum sums, improving in particular a recent estimate given by Iannucci. The aim of the second part of this work is the generalization of the previous…

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. We prove the conjecture for type G_2, and…

For positive integers $s$ and $L \geq 3$, Berkovich and Uncu (Ann. Comb. $23$ ($2019$) $263$--$284$) conjectured an inequality between the sizes of two closely related sets of partitions whose parts lie in the interval $\{s, \ldots, L+s\}$.…

We explore and generalize a Cauchy-Schwarz-type inequality originally proved in [Electronic Journal of Linear Algebra 35, 156-180 (2019)]: $\|\mathbf{v}^2\|\|\mathbf{w}^2\| - \langle\mathbf{v}^2,\mathbf{w}^2\rangle \leq…

Firstly, we propose our conjectured Reverse-log-Brunn-Minkowski inequality (RLBM). Secondly, we show that the (RLBM) conjecture is equivalent to the log-Brunn-Minkowski (LBM) conjecture proposed by B\"or\"oczky-Lutwak-Yang-Zhang. We name…

Let $m,n$ be positive integers. For all $m\times n$ complex matrices $A, C$ and an $n\times m$ matrix $B$, we define a generalized commutator as $ABC-CBA$. We estimate the Frobenius norm of it, and finally get the inequality, which is a…

In this paper, we prove two conjectures of Z.-W. Sun: $$2n\binom{2n}n\big|\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}(3k+1)\binom{2k}k^3{16}^{n-1-k}\ \mbox{for}\ \mbox{all}\ n=2,3,\cdots,$$ and $$\sum_{k=0}^{(p-1)/2}\frac{3k+1}{16^k}\binom{2k}{k}^3\equiv…

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…
