We conjecture a new correlation-like inequality for percolation probabilities and support our conjecture with numerical evidence and a few special cases which we prove. This inequality, if true, implies that there is no percolation at…
A simpler proof of the four color theorem is presented. The proof was reached using a series of equivalent theorems. First the maximum number of edges of a planar graph is obatined as well as the minimum number of edges for a complete…
A strong edge-coloring of a graph $G$ is a coloring of the edges such that every color class induces a matching in $G$. The strong chromatic index of a graph is the minimum number of colors needed in a strong edge-coloring of the graph. In…
Let $S\subset\Ps^r$ ($r\geq 5$) be a nondegenerate, irreducible, smooth, complex, projective surface of degree $d$. Let $\delta_S$ be the number of double points of a general projection of $S$ to $\Ps^4$. In the present paper we prove that…
We introduce an approximation specific to a continuous model for directed percolation, which is strictly equivalent to 1+1 dimensional directed bond percolation. We find that the critical exponent associated to the order parameter…
We consider critical oriented Bernoulli percolation on the square lattice $\mathbb{Z}^2$. We prove a Russo-Seymour-Welsh type result which allows us to derive several new results concerning the critical behavior: - We establish that the…
The probability distribution for the number of top to bottom spanning clusters in Directed percolation in two and three dimensions appears to be universal and is of the form $P(n) \sim \exp(-\alpha n^2)$. We argue that $\alpha$ is a new…
We show how to combine Kesten's scaling relations, the determination of critical exponents associated to the stochastic Loewner evolution process by Lawler, Schramm, and Werner, and Smirnov's proof of Cardy's formula, in order to determine…
We study the critical properties of the monopole-percolation transition in U(1) lattice gauge theory coupled to scalars at infinite ($\beta=0$) gauge coupling. We find strong scaling corrections in the critical exponents that must be…
The four-color conjecture has puzzled mathematicians for over 170 years and has yet to be proven by purely mathematical methods. This series of articles provides a purely mathematical proof of the four-color conjecture, consisting of two…
We prove weighted versions of the 2D Restriction Conjecture for the unit sphere in $\mathbb{R}^2$. Our results involve the weight functions $(1+|x|)^\alpha(1+|y|)^\beta$ and $(1+|x|+|y|)^\gamma$ with $\alpha,\beta,\gamma\geq 0$.
In a recent paper, de Freitas et al. [Phys. Rev. E 61, 6330 (2000)] presented simulational results for the critical exponents of the two-species reaction-diffusion system A + B -> 2B and B -> A in dimension d = 1. In particular, the…
We show that in any two-coloring of the positive integers there is a color for which the set of positive integers that can be represented as a sum of distinct elements with this color has upper logarithmic density at least $(2+\sqrt{3})/4$…
After recalling the arguments for possible excess of two-photon contribution over $\alpha$-counting, model independent statements about the consequences on the observables will be given. The relevant experimental data are discussed:…
For a non-split multi-crossing diagram $D$ of a link $L$ we show that $\alpha(L)-2 \leq c_2(D) + \sum_{n> 2}(2n-4)c_n(D)$ holds. Here $\alpha(L)$ is the arc index and $c_n(D)$ is the number of $n$-crossings of $D$. This generalizes and…
We develop an efficient algorithm for evaluating divergent perturbation expansions of field theories in the bare coupling constant g_B for which we possess a finite number L of expansion coefficients plus two more informations: The…
It is natural to expect that there are only three possible types of scaling limits for the collection of all percolation interfaces in the plane: (1) a trivial one, consisting of no curves at all, (2) a critical one, in which all points of…
We propose the use of two point Pade approximants to find expressions valid uniformly in coupling constant for theories with both weak and strong coupling expansions. In particular, one can use these approximants in models with a…
The versatility of optical parametric amplifiers make them excellent sources for next-generation ultrashort strong-field physics experiments, however phase matching considerations limit the available bandwidth. We demonstrate supercontinuum…
We consider percolation on the discrete torus $\mathbb{Z}_n^d$ at $p_c(\mathbb{Z}^d)$, the critical value for percolation on the corresponding infinite lattice $\mathbb{Z}^d$, and within the scaling window around it. We assume that $d$ is a…
