Recently, in Found. Phys. 53: 64 (2023), it has been argued that there is no reality to the PBR theorem. In Found. Phys. 54: 36 (2024), Hofer-Szab\'o has commented that the argument is flawed and that PBR theorem remains in tact. Here we…

We prove the large deviation principle (LDP) for posterior distributions arising from subfamilies of full exponential families, allowing misspecification of the model. Moreover, motivated by the so-called inverse Sanov Theorem (see e.g.…

The main result of this note asserts that a strong form of the Matroid Minor Conjecture due to J. Draisma is not true, i.e., there exist properly ascending chains of $S_\infty$-stable ideals in the affine coordinate ring of the affine…

In this note we elaborate on a recent counter-example to the Nelson-Seiberg theorem and to its generalizations. We provide sufficient conditions for the existence of such counter-examples, finding new ones. We claim that these…

We report the finding of the new upper bound on the lowest positive integer $x$ for which the Mertens conjecture \begin{equation*} \left| \sum_{1 \leq n \leq x} \mu(n) \right| < \sqrt{x} \end{equation*} fails to hold: $x < \exp(1.017 \times…

We consider the random Schrodinger operator on a strip of width $W$, assuming the site distribution of bounded density. It is shown that the positive Lyapounov exponents satisfy a lower bound roughly exponential in $-W$ or $W\to \infty$.…

In this note we study the multifractal spectrum of Lyapunov exponents for interval maps with infinitely many branches and a parabolic fixed point. It turns out that, in strong contrast with the hyperbolic case, the domain of the spectrum is…

We prove a modified version of Turbiner's conjecture in three dimensions and we give a counter-example to the original conjecture. The Lie algebraic Schr\"odinger operators corresponding to flat metrics of a certain restricted type are…

We prove Haynes' version of the Duffin--Schaeffer conjecture for the $p$-adic numbers. In addition, we prove several results about an associated related but false conjecture, related to $p$-adic approximation in the spirit of Jarn\'ik and…

This paper provides a rigorous derivation of a counterexample of Bourgain, related to a well-known question of pointwise a.e. convergence for the solution of the linear Schr\"odinger equation, for initial data in a Sobolev space. This…

The Product Conjecture for the homological Bieri-Neumann-Strebel-Renz invariants is proved over a field. Under certain hypotheses the Product Conjecture is shown to also hold over Z, even though D. Schuetz has recently shown that the…

Let $f\colon\mathbb{C}\to\mathbb{C}$ be a transcendental entire function. In 1989, Eremenko asked the following question concerning the set $I(f)$ of points that tend to infinity under iteration: can every point of $I(f)$ be joined to…

Yangming Li and Xianhua Li in 2012 proposed a conjecture that generalizes O.U. Kramer's result about supersoluble groups. Here we proved that this conjecture is false in the general case and true for groups with the trivial Frattini…

Laptev and Safronov conjectured that any non-positive eigenvalue of a Schr\"odinger operator $-\Delta+V$ in $L^2(\mathbb R^\nu)$ with complex potential has absolute value at most a constant times…

At present one can not find a single counterexample to even a simplest version of Frobenius primality test. The assessment of probability of the mistake, presented in [I.B. Damgard and G.S.Frandsen, Journal of Cryptology, 2006] is strongly…

In this paper we give a short, elementary proof of the following too extreme cases of the Leopoldt conjecture: the case when $\K/\Q$ is a solvable extension and the case when it is a totally real extension in which $p$ splits completely.…

J.C.Lagarias (2000) conjectured that if $\mu$ is a complex measure on p-dimensional Euclidean space with a uniformly discrete support and its spectrum (Fourier transform) is also a measure with a uniformly discrete support, then the support…

Cox's well-known theorem justifying the use of probability is shown not to hold in finite domains. The counterexample also suggests that Cox's assumptions are insufficient to prove the result even in infinite domains. The same…

In this paper we perform a numerical study of the spectra, eigenstates, and Lyapunov exponents of the skew-shift counterpart to Harper's equation. This study is motivated by various conjectures on the spectral theory of these…

This paper has been withdrawn by the author in favor of a stronger result proven by the author with R. Frank and T. Weidl in arXiv:0707.0998
