The world of primes has many gaps between evidence and theorems. Here, we review Legendre's conjecture on primes between consecutive squares and recent progress on the weaker question of primes between consecutive larger powers. Assuming…
We generalize the Benjamini-Pemantle-Peres estimate relating hitting probability and Martin capacity to the setting of manifolds with Ricci curvature bounded below. As applications we obtain: (1) a sharp estimate for the probability that…
The purpose of this article is to provide an alternative proof of the weak-type $\left(1,\ldots,1;\frac{1}{m}\right)$ estimate for $m$-multilinear Calder\'on-Zygmund operators on $\mathbb{R}^n$ first proved by Grafakos and Torres.…
In this note we prove the following result: There is a positive constant $\epsilon(n,\Lambda)$ such that if $M^n$ is a simply connected compact K$\ddot{a}$hler manifold with sectional curvature bounded from above by $\Lambda$, diameter…
Gamma conjecture I and the underlying Conjecture $\mathcal{O}$ for Fano manifolds were proposed by Galkin, Golyshev and Iritani recently. We show that both conjectures hold for all two-dimensional Fano manifolds. We prove Conjecture…
Payne-P\'olya-Weinberger inequalities are known to be exclusive to bounded Euclidean domains with Dirichlet boundary condition. In this paper, we discuss the corresponding inequalities on Riemannian manifolds of dimension $n \geq3$, and we…
The Manin-Peyre conjecture is established for a class of smooth spherical Fano varieties of semisimple rank one. This includes all smooth spherical Fano threefolds of type T as well as some higher-dimensional smooth spherical Fano…
In 1998 G. Valent made conjectures about the order and type of certain indeterminate Stieltjes moment problems associated with birth and death processes having polynomial birth and death rates of degree p\ge 3. Romanov recently proved that…
We simplify V\'etois' Obata-type argument and use it to identify a closed interval $I_n$, $n \geq 3$, containing zero such that if $a \in I_n$ and $(M^n,g)$ is a closed conformally Einstein manifold with nonnegative scalar curvature and…
One of the major problems for maximum likelihood estimation in the well-established directional models is that the normalising constants can be difficult to evaluate. A new general method of "score matching estimation" is presented here on…
The conjecture of Kosniowski asserts that if the circle acts on a compact unitary manifold $M$ with a non-empty fixed point set and $M$ does not bound a unitary manifold equivariantly, then the dimension of the manifold is bounded above by…
We construct an integral model for counting Campana points of bounded height on diagonal hypersurfaces of degree greater than one, and give an asymptotic formula for their number, generalising work by Browning and Yamagishi. The paper also…
We deal with the existence of quantitative estimates for solutions of mixed problems to an elliptic second order equation in divergence form with discontinuous coefficient. Our concern is to estimate the solutions with explicit constants,…
We revisit anthropic arguments purporting to explain the measured value of the cosmological constant. We argue that different ways of assigning probabilities to candidate universes lead to totally different anthropic predictions. As an…
Stevens conjectured that for every optimal parametrization $\phi\colon X_1(n) \rightarrow E$ of an elliptic curve $E$ over $\mathbb{Q}$ of conductor $n$, the pullback of some N\'eron differential on $E$ is the differential associated to the…
This paper addresses the asymptotic approximations of the stable and unstable manifolds for the saddle fixed point and the 2-periodic solutions of the difference equation $x_{n+1} = \alpha + \beta x_{n-1}+x_{n-1}/x_{n},$ where $\alpha>0,$…
We complete the study of points of bounded height on irreducible non-normal cubic surfaces by doing the point count on the cubic surface $W$ given by $t_0^2 t_2 = t_1^2 t_3$ over any number field. We show that the order of growth agrees…
Let X be the wonderful compactification of a connected adjoint semisimple group G defined over a number field K. We prove Manin's conjecture on the asymptotic (as T\to \infty) of the number of K-rational points of X of height less than T,…
Point counting estimates are a key stepping stone to various results in metric Diophantine approximation. In this paper we use the quantitative non-divergence estimates originally developed by Kleinbock and Margulis to improve lower bounds…
In this paper, we complete the long-standing challenge to establish a Khintchine-type theorem for arbitrary nondegenerate manifolds in $\mathbb{R}^n$. In particular, our main result finally removes the analyticity assumption from the…
