This work studies the complexity of refuting the existence of a perfect matching in spectral expanders with an odd number of vertices, in the Polynomial Calculus (PC) and Sum of Squares (SoS) proof system. Austrin and Risse [SODA, 2021]…

We give a short proof of Belaga's result on bounds to perigees of $(3x+d)$-cycles of a given oddlength. We also reformulate the Collatz cycle conjecture which is rather a algorithmic problem into a purely arithmetic problem.

In the present work we prove a number of surprising results about gaps between consecutive primes and arithmetic progressions in the sequence of generalized twin primes which could not have been proven without the recent fantastic…

We give a treatment of the Brenner-Monsky example based on polynomial algebra and linear algebra. No prior knowledge of tight closure theory, Hilbert-Kunz theory, algebraic geometry or local cohomology is assumed.

We establish $r$-variational estimates for discrete truncated Stein-Wainger type operators on $\ell^p$ for $1<p<\infty$. Notably, these estimates are sharp and enhance the results obtained by Krause and Roos (J. Eur. Math. Soc. 2022, J.…

We survey results on the formalization and independence of mathematical statements related to major open problems in computational complexity theory. Our primary focus is on recent findings concerning the (un)provability of complexity…

This paper studies the proof of Collatz conjecture for some set of sequence of odd numbers with infinite number of elements. These set generalized to the set which contains all positive odd integers. This extension assumed to be the proof…

This paper has been withdrawn due to a critical error discovered in Theorem 4.21. Anyone with a historical or pragamatic interest in prior "negative results", however - e.g., failed proof attempts relating to the (in)consistency of ZF or…

The Collatz conjecture can be stated in terms of the reduced Collatz function R(x) = (3x+1)/2^m (where 2^m is the larger power of 2 that divides 3x+1). The conjecture is: Starting from any odd positive integer and repeating R(x) we…

In the recent review article, P.Markos admits that practically all numerical results on the critical behavior near the Anderson transition are in conflict with analytical expectations, but no serious discussion of this fact is given. The…

The Discrete Schwarz-Pick Lemma is a discrete analogue of the classical result from complex analysis, arising from the connection between circle packings and conformal maps established by Thurston. Previous works by Beardon-Stephanson and…

We prove a polynomial bound in the "true complexity" problem of Gowers and Wolf. The proof uses only repeated applications of the Cauchy--Schwarz inequality, answering negatively a question posed by Gowers and Wolf. To choose and reason…

We introduce an explicit logarithmic transformation $T(x) = \{\log_6(x + 1/5)\}$ under which the Collatz map becomes a rigid circle rotation by the irrational angle \(\alpha = \log_6 3\), perturbed by a uniformly bounded error term. We…
