The issue and proof of Gurzadyan theorem are presented concisely, avoiding tedious and unnecessary calculations that would mask what is essential. The goal is to provide a good mathematical and physical understanding of the theorem, making…
We give a necessary and suficente condition for the existence of a space curve with curvature $\kappa$ and torsion $\tau$ finding a solution of a nonlinear differential equation of second order and some applications are given for the…
We prove an extension of the well-known combinatorial-topological lemma of E. Sperner to the case of infinite-dimensional cubes. It is obtained as a corollary to an infinitary extension of the Lebesgue Covering Dimension Theorem.
In this note, simple proofs of certain well-known results involving the positive square root of positive matrices are given.
Ptolemy's inequality is a classic relationship between the distances among four points in Euclidean space. Another relationship between six distances is the 4-point condition, an inequality satisfied by the lengths of the six paths that…
In this paper, by using analytical methods we obtain a generalization of the famous Kodaira embedding theorem.
We prove the following conjecture of Leighton and Moitra. Let $T$ be a tournament on $[n]$ and $S_n$ the set of permutations of $[n]$. For an arc $uv$ of $T$, let $A_{uv}=\{\sigma \in S_n \, : \, \sigma(u)<\sigma(v) \}$. $\textbf{Theorem.}$…
We give a probabilistic proof of the orbit-counting lemma.
We prove a surface embedding theorem for 4-manifolds with good fundamental group in the presence of dual spheres, with no restriction on the normal bundles. The new obstruction is a Kervaire-Milnor invariant for surfaces and we give a…
The edge-of-the-wedge theorem in several complex variables gives the analytic continuation of functions defined on the poly upper half plane and the poly lower half plane, the set of points in $\mathbb{C}^d$ with all coordinates in the…
Torelli's theorem is proven by the study of the convolution product of the intersection cohomology sheaf of the thetadivisor.
The central object of study of this thesis is inverse mean curvature vector flow of two-dimensional surfaces in four-dimensional spacetimes. Being a system of forward-backward parabolic PDEs, inverse mean curvature vector flow equation…
We formulate several conjectures on mean convex domains in the Euclidean spaces, as well as in more general spaces with lower bonds on their scalar curvatures, and prove a few theorems motivating these conjectures.
Ptolemy's model of the Moon's motion implied that its distance varies by nearly a factor of two, implying that its angular size should also vary by nearly a factor of two. We present an analysis of 100 naked eye observations of the Moon's…
In this paper, we investigate the mean curvature flow of compact surfaces in $4$-dimensional space forms. We prove the convergence theorems for the mean curvature flow under certain pinching conditions involving the normal curvature, which…
We prove Penner's theorem on horocycles and theorems of Ptolemy and Casey, all with full converses, in hyperbolic space of several dimensions. Recently Waddle observed that the equations underpinning these three theorems are related, and it…
A unified version of Machado-Bishop theorem in weighted spaces is given. A number of applications illustrate its importance.
Chang's lemma is a useful tool in additive combinatorics and the analysis of Boolean functions. Here we give an elementary proof using entropy. The constant we obtain is tight, and we give a slight improvement in the case where the…
In this paper, we give a proof for four color theorem(four color conjecture). Our proof does not involve computer assistance and the most important is that it can be generalized to prove Hadwiger Conjecture. Moreover, we give algorithms to…
We prove an upper bound on the bottom of the essential spectrum of a diffusion in term of the growth of the volume of $X$, generalizing a result by R. Brooks.
