In the 1970s, the collar theorem was proven, establishing the existence of uniform tubular neighborhoods of simple closed geodesics on compact surfaces, whose widths depend only on the lengths of the geodesics and the lower bound of the…

Using the theory of minimal models of quasi-projective surfaces we give a new proof of the theorem of Lin-Zaidenberg which says that every topologically contractible algebraic curve in the complex affine plane has equation $X^n=Y^m$ in some…

Following his discovery that finite metric spaces have injective envelopes naturally admitting a polyhedral structure, Isbell, in his pioneering work on injective metric spaces, attempted a characterization of cellular complexes admitting…

We prove that various arithmetic quotients of the unit ball in $\mathbb{C}^n$ are Mordellic, in the sense that they have only finitely many rational points over any finitely generated field extension of $\mathbb{Q}$. In the previously known…

In 2008, Haglund, Morse and Zabrocki formulated a Compositional form of the Shuffle Conjecture of Haglund et al. In very recent work, Gorsky and Negut by combining their discoveries with the work of Schiffmann-Vasserot on the symmetric…

This survey is a chapter of a forthcoming book. This chapter recalls the classical formulation of the Div-Curl lemma along with its proof, and presents some possible generalizations in the fractional setting, within the framework of the…

This paper re-organizes Vojta's proof of the Mordell conjecture (i.e. Faltings' theorem) in terms of Arakelov geometry. A new ingredient is to replace an application of Gillet--Soule's arithmetic Riemannn--Roch theorem by that of Yuan's…

The Union Closed Sets Conjecture is one of the most renowned problems in combinatorics. Its appeal lies in the simplicity of its statement contrasted with the potential complexity of its resolution. The conjecture posits that, in any union…

We describe a new conjecture involving Fully Packed Loop counting which relates recent observations of Thapper to formulae in the Temperley--Lieb model of loops, and how it implies the Razumov--Stroganov conjecture.

In this paper we show examples for applications of the Bombieri-Lang conjecture in additive combinatorics, giving bounds on the cardinality of sumsets of squares and higher powers of integers. Using similar methods we give bounds on the…

This is a survey paper of the developments on the geometric Bogomolov conjecture. We explain the recent results by the author as well as previous works concerning the conjecture. This paper also includes an introduction to the height theory…

The BKMP Remodeling Conjecture \cite{Ma,BKMP09,BKMP10} predicts all genus open-closed Gromov-Witten invariants for a toric Calabi-Yau $3$-orbifold by Eynard-Orantin's topological recursion \cite{EO07} on its mirror curve. The proof of the…

To a smooth proper curve $C$ over a field $k$ equipped with a $k$-point $c$ and an effective divisor $\mathfrak m$ coprime to $c$, one may associate the abstract group $J_{\mathfrak m}(\bar k)$ of $\overline k$-points of the generalized…

Dumont has conjectured a marvellous identity, which generalizes, in particular, the classical results of Lagrange, Gauss, Jacobi and Kronecker on the sums of two, three and four squares. We give a combinatorial proof of Dumont's conjecture.

Aiming to provide weak as possible axiomatic assumptions in which one can develop basic linear algebra, we give a uniform and integral version of the short propositional proofs for the determinant identities demonstrated over $GF(2)$ in…

We give a new proof the arithmetic Hilbert-Samuel theorem by using classical reductions in the theory of coherent sheaves, a direct proof in the case of the projective space and the conservation of some numerical invariants, called…

The `transcendental methods' in the algebraic theory of quadratic forms are based on two major results, proved in the 60's by Cassels and Pfister, and known as the representation and the subform theorems. A generalization of the…

The Kneser conjecture (1955) was proved by Lov\'asz (1978) using the Borsuk-Ulam theorem; all subsequent proofs, extensions and generalizations also relied on Algebraic Topology results, namely the Borsuk-Ulam theorem and its extensions.…

Let $G$ be a connected unimodular group equipped with a (left and hence right) Haar measure $\mu_G$, and suppose $A, B \subseteq G$ are nonempty and compact. An inequality by Kemperman gives us…

We provide a simple proof for the union-closed sets conjecture, a long-standing open problem in set theory with immediate applications to graph theory, number theory, and order-theory.
