In this note we sketch a proof of a fundamental conjecture, the codimension-three conjecture, for microdifferential holonomic systems with regular singularities. It states that any regular holonomic E-module extends beyond a…

We show that, apart from some obvious exceptions, the number of trinomials vanishing at given complex numbers is bounded by an absolute constant. When the numbers are algebraic, we also bound effectively the degrees and the heights of these…

The codimension-three conjecture states that any regular holonomic module extends uniquely beyond an analytic subset with codimension equal to or larger than three. We give a proof of this conjecture.

A construction of convex flag triangulations of five and higher dimensional spheres, whose h-polynomials fail to have only real roots, is given. We show that there is no such example in dimensions lower than five. A condition weaker than…

We give two elementary proofs, at a level understandable by students with only pre-calculus knowledge of Algebra, of the well known fact that an irreducible irrational n-th root of a positive rational number cannot be solution of a…

We conjecture that the roots of a degree-n univariate complex polynomial are located in a union of n-1 annuli, each of which is centered at a root of the derivative and whose radii depend on higher derivatives. We prove the conjecture for…

Let $g(x)$ be a fixed non-constant complex polynomial. It was conjectured by Schinzel that if $g(h(x))$ has boundedly many terms, then $h(x)\in \C[x]$ must also have boundedly many terms. Solving an older conjecture raised by R\'enyi and by…

Let $a,b,c$ be non-zero integers and $f(x)=ax^n+bx^m+c$ be a trinomial of degree $n$. We surveyed the irreducibility criteria of $f(x)$ over rational numbers.

The Casas-Alvero conjecture says that a degree $n$ complex univariate polynomial sharing a root with each of its derivative must have only one root. In this article we give three results. The first one, is that the number of possible…

We show that all triples $(x_1,x_2,x_3)$ of singular moduli satisfying $x_1 x_2 x_3 \in \mathbb{Q}^{\times}$ are "trivial". That is, either $x_1, x_2, x_3 \in \mathbb{Q}$; some $x_i \in \mathbb{Q}$ and the remaining $x_j, x_k$ are distinct,…

Recently the problem of constructing a perfect Euler cuboid was related with three conjectures asserting the irreducibility of some certain three polynomials depending on integer parameters. In this paper a partial result toward proving the…

We define a notion of Hodge modules with rational singularities. A variety has rational singularities in the usual sense, if it is normal and the Hodge module related to intersection cohomology has rational singularities in the present…

We formulate the modularity conjecture for rigid Calabi-Yau threefolds defined over the field Q of rational numbers. We establish the modularity for the rigid Calabi-Yau threefold arising from the root lattice A_3. Our proof is based on…

We show that univariate trinomials $x^n + ax^s + b \in \mathbb{F}_q[x]$ can have at most $\delta \Big\lfloor \frac{1}{2} +\sqrt{\frac{q-1}{\delta}} \Big\rfloor$ distinct roots in $\mathbb{F}_q$, where $\delta = \gcd(n, s, q - 1)$. We also…

We verify a finiteness conjecture of Feit on sources of simple modules over group algebras for various classes of finite groups related to the symmetric groups.

We consider the class of all homogeneous, possibly non-reduced, polynomials $f$ whose associated reduced projective divisor $D_{\text{red}} \subset \mathbb{P}^{n-1}$ has (at worst) quasi-homogeneous isolated singularities. In an arbitrary…

We verify the Morrison--Kawamata conjecture for a certain class of rational threefolds, namely blowups of P^3 in the base locus of a net of quadrics with no reducible members. This seems to be the first verified case of the conjecture for…

We prove the irreducibility of moduli spaces of rational curves on a general del Pezzo threefold of Picard rank $1$ and degree $1$. As corollaries, we confirm Geometric Manin's conjecture and enumerativity of certain Gromov-Witten…

Despite the moduli space of triangles being three dimensional, we prove the existence of two triangles which are not isometric to each other for which the first, second and fourth Dirichlet eigenvalues coincide, establishing a numerical…

We show that two distinct singular moduli $j(\tau),j(\tau')$, such that for some positive integers $m, n$ the numbers $1,j(\tau)^m$ and $j(\tau')^n$ are linearly dependent over $\mathbb{Q}$ generate the same number field of degree at most…
