This paper gives an algebraic conjecture which is shown to be equivalent to Thurston's Geometrization Conjecture for closed, orientable 3-manifolds. It generalizes the Stallings-Jaco theorem which established a similar result for the…

In this short note we prove the Borel conjecture for a family of aspherical manifolds that includes higher graph manifolds.

In "Proof of the Arnold chord conjecture in three dimensions I", we deduced the Arnold chord conjecture in three dimensions from another result, which asserts that an exact symplectic cobordism between contact three-manifolds induces a map…

According to some discussions based on syllogism, we present results on the binary Goldbach conjecture in three categories: results that are weaker than the Goldbach conjecture, sufficient conditions for the Goldbach conjecture, and results…

Khabibullin's conjecture has three statements equivalent to each other. Recently Ruslan Sharipov has constructed a counterexample to this conjecture for one of its three statements. In this paper Sharipov's counterexample is transferred to…

In this note we prove the Weinstein conjecture for a class of symplectic manifolds including the uniruled manifolds based on Liu-Tian's result.

We introduce patterns on a triangular grid generated by paperfolding operations. We show that in case these patterns are defined using a periodic sequence of foldings, they can also be generated using substitution rules and compute…

In the paper ``Chirality change in string theory'', by Douglas and Zhou, the authors give a list of bundles on a quintic Calabi-Yau threefold. Here we prove the semistability of most of these bundles. This provides examples of string theory…

This letter introduces a new, substantially simplified version of the branching recurrence operation of computability logic (see http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~giorgi/cl.html), and proves its equivalence to the old, "canonical" version.

We prove two-term supercongruences for generalizations of recently discovered sporadic sequences of Cooper. We also discuss recent progress and future directions concerning other types of supercongruences.

In this paper, we proved a special case of the DDVV Conjecture.

In this paper we extend previous studies of selection principles for families of open covers of sets of real numbers to also include families of countable Borel covers. The main results of the paper could be summarized as follows: 1. Some…

Warning: This paper contains a mistake, rendering the proof of the main theorem invalid. The logic of Bunched Implications (BI) combines both additive and multiplicative connectives, which include two primitive intuitionistic implications.…

Extending the notion of monodromies associated with open books of $3$-manifolds, we consider monodromies for all incompressible surfaces in $3$-manifolds as partial self-maps of the arc set of the surfaces. We use them to develop a…

We settled a conjecture of Feigin, Wang and Yoshinaga, appeared in the preprint "Integral expressions for derivations of multiarrangements" (arXiv: 2309.01287v2).

Two conjectures recently proposed by one of the authors are disproved

The contents of this 6-page paper have been subsumed into the 13-page paper, "A note on closed 3-braids", arXiv:0802.1072 [math.GT]. This paper is correct, but contains less information than the new one. The topological classification of…

In this very short note, we give a counterexample to a recent conjecture of Gilmer which would have implied the union-closed conjecture.

An explicit expression is obtained for the generating series for the number of ramified coverings of the sphere by the torus, with elementary branch points and prescribed ramification type over infinity. This proves a conjecture of Goulden,…

We give a new proof of the butterfly theorem, based on the use of several expressions involving the scale factor between the two wings.
