For any integers $d, n \geq 2$ and $1/({\min\{n,d\}})^{0.4999} < \varepsilon<1$, we show the existence of a set of $n$ vectors $X\subset \mathbb{R}^d$ such that any embedding $f:X\rightarrow \mathbb{R}^m$ satisfying $$ \forall x,y\in X,\…
The Akbari-Cameron-Khosrovshahi (ACK) conjecture, which appears to be unresolved, states that for any simple graph $G$ with at least one edge, there exists a nonzero {$\{0,1\}$}-vector in the row space of its adjacency matrix that is not a…
In a recent work, Keusch proved the so-called 1-2-3 Conjecture, raised by Karo\'nski, {\L}uczak, and Thomason in 2004: for every connected graph different from $K_2$, we can assign labels~$1,2,3$ to the edges so that no two adjacent…
Let A(n) be a $k\times s$ matrix and $m(n)$ be a $k$ dimensional vector, where all entries of A(n) and $m(n)$ are integer-valued polynomials in $n$. Suppose that $$t(m(n)|A(n))=#\{x\in\mathbb{Z}_{+}^{s}\mid A(n)x=m(n)\}$$ is finite for each…
Docovic and Szechtman, [Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 133 (2005) 2853-2863] considered a vector space V endowed with a bilinear form. They proved that all isometries of V over a field F of characteristic not 2 have determinant 1 if and only if V…
Monin and Rana conjectured a set of equations defining the image of the moduli space $\bar{M}_{0,n}$ under an embedding into $\mathbb{P}^1\times \cdots\times \mathbb{P}^{n-3}$ due to Keel and Tevelev and verified the conjecture for $n\leq…
We introduce a qualitative conjecture, in the spirit of Campana, to the effect that certain subsets of rational points on a variety over a number field, or a Deligne-Mumford stack over a ring of S-integers, cannot be Zariski dense. The…
In this expository note we present a proof of the V.A. Vassiliev conjecture on the planarity of graphs with vertices of degree 4 and certain additional structure. Both statement and proof are accessible to high-school students familiar with…
A Lie polynomial is an element of a free Lie algebra $\mathcal F_k$ on $k$-generators, which defines a Lie map on a given Lie algebra $L$, by substituting $k$-elements of $L$. Similar to word maps on groups and polynomial maps on algebras,…
Given a combinatorial triangulation of an $n$-gon, we study (a) the space of all possible drawings in the plane such the edges are straight line segments and the boundary has a fixed shape, and (b) the algebraic variety of possibilities for…
Matrix polynomials given in an orthogonal basis are considered. Following the ideas of Mackey et al. "Vector spaces of Linearizations for Matrix Polynomials" (2006), the vec- tor spaces, called M1(P), M2(P) and DM(P), of potential…
A subspace of an algebra with involution is called a Lie skew-ideal if it is closed under Lie products with skew-symmetric elements. Lie skew-ideals are classified in central simple algebras with involution (there are eight of them for…
We generalize a version of Lavrent\'ev's theorem which says that a function that is continuous on a compact set K with connected complement and without interior points can be uniformly approximated as closely as desired by a polynomial…
There has recently been ample interest in the question of which sets can be represented by linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). A necessary condition is that the set is rigidly convex, and it has been conjectured that rigid convexity is also…
The present paper is devoted to investigating the two-dimensional real Jacobian conjecture. This conjecture claims that if $F=\left(f,g\right):\mathbb{R}^2\rightarrow \mathbb{R}^2$ is a polynomial map with $\det DF\left(x,y\right)\ne0$ for…
Let $n$-Medvedev's logic $\mathbf{ML}_n$ be the intuitionistic logic of Medvedev frames based on the non-empty subsets of a set of size $n$, which we call $n$-Medvedev frames. While these are tabular logics, after characterizing…
Sendov conjecture tells that if $P$ denotes a complex polynomial having all his zeros in the closed unit disk and $a$ denote a zero of $P$, the closed disk of center $a$ and radius 1 contains a zero of the derivative $P'$. The main result…
We study mappings differentiable almost everywhere, possessing the $N$-Luzin property, the $ N^{\,-1}$-property on the spheres with respect to the $(n-1)$-dimensional Hausdorff measure and such that the image of the set where its Jacobian…
We show that there is a defining equation of degree at most $\mathsf{poly}(n)$ for the (Zariski closure of the) set of the non-rigid matrices: that is, we show that for every large enough field $\mathbb{F}$, there is a non-zero…
We associate to every matroid M a polynomial with integer coefficients, which we call the Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomial of M, in analogy with Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials in representation theory. We conjecture that the coefficients are always…
