We extend the flyping theorem to alternating links in thickened surfaces and alternating virtual links. The proof of the former result uses work of Boden--Karimi to adapt the author's geometric proof of Tait's 1898 flyping conjecture (first…

We establish a sharp upper estimate for the order of a canonical system in terms of the Hamiltonian. This upper estimate becomes an equality in the case of Krein strings. As an application we prove a conjecture of Valent about the order of…

This write up attempts to clarify a preprint by Markarian [2] which proves This paper attempts to clarify a preprint of Markarian [2]. The preprint by Markarian [2] proves the relative Riemann-Roch theorem using a result describing how the…

At the light of recent results in literature we review a conjecture formulated in Math. Phys. Electron. J. 1 (1995), paper 5, 1--13, about the mechanism of breakdown of invariant sets in KAM problems and the identification of the dominant…

The existence of a "Plastikstufe" for a contact structure implies the Weinstein conjecture for all supporting contact forms.

The celebrated Mason's conjecture states that the sequence of independent set numbers of any matroid is log-concave, and even ultra log-concave. The strong form of Mason's conjecture was independently solved by Anari, Liu, Oveis Gharan and…

In this article we prove that the Weinstein conjecture holds for contact manifolds $(\Sigma,\xi)$ for which $\mathrm{Cont}_0(\Sigma,\xi)$ is non-orderable in the sense of Eliashberg-Polterovich [EP00]. More precisely, we establish a link…

In 2004, Choe, Oxley, Sokal and Wagner established a tight connection between matroids and multiaffine real stable polynomials. Recently, Branden used this theory and a polynomial coming from the Vamos matroid to disprove the generalized…

The DK conjecture of Bondal-Orlov and Kawamata states that there should be an embedding of bounded derived categories for any $K$-inequivalence, which is proved to be true for the toroidal case. In this paper, we construct examples of…

The volume conjecture, formulated recently by H. Murakami and J. Murakami, is proved for the case of torus knots.

The product version of the 1-2-3 Conjecture, introduced by Skowronek-Kazi{\'o}w in 2012, states that, a few obvious exceptions apart, all graphs can be 3-edge-labelled so that no two adjacent vertices get incident to the same product of…

In this paper we study the number of $k$-neighborly reorientations of an oriented matroid, leading to study $k$-Roudneff's conjecture, the case $k=1$ being the original statement conjectured in 1991. We first prove the conjecture for the…

We establish a convenient necessary and sufficient condition for a multiaffine real polynomial to be stable, and use it to verify that the half-plane property holds for seven small matroids that resisted the efforts of Choe, Oxley, Sokal,…

Strassen's asymptotic rank conjecture [Progr. Math. 120 (1994)] claims a strong submultiplicative upper bound on the rank of a three-tensor obtained as an iterated Kronecker product of a constant-size base tensor. The conjecture, if true,…

We provide a short proof of a conic version of the colorful Carath\'eodory theorem for oriented matroids. Holmsen's extension of the colorful Carath\'eodory theorem to oriented matroids (Advances in Mathematics, 2016) already encompasses…

In 1982-83, E. Nochka proved a conjecture of Cartan on defects of holomorphic curves in $\Bbb P^n$ relative to a possibly degenerate set of hyperplanes. This was further explained by W. Chen in his 1987 thesis, and subseqently simplified by…

A strong version of the quantization conjecture of Guillemin and Sternberg is proved. For a reductive group action on a smooth, compact, polarized variety (X,L), the cohomologies of L over the GIT quotient X // G equal the invariant part of…

We prove that Witten's Conjecture [arXiv:hep-th/9411102] on the relationship between the Donaldson and Seiberg-Witten series for a four-manifold of Seiberg-Witten simple type with $b_1=0$ and odd $b_2^+\geq 3$ follows from our…

The aim of this work is to prove a conjecture related to the Combinatorial Invariance Conjecture of Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials, in the parabolic setting, for lower intervals in every arbitrary Coxeter group. This result improves and…

Reed Conjecture is open for more than 20 years now. Here we prove that Reed Conjecture is valid for (1) {P4UnionK1, Kite}-free graphs (2) {Chair, Kite}-free graphs (3) {K2UnionK2complement , H}-free graphs and (4) {2K2, M}-free graphs where…
