In this note we show that $k$-convex functions on $\Bbb R^n$ are twice differentiable almost everywhere for every positive integer $k>n/2$. This generalizes the classical Alexsandrov's theorem for convex functions.

As already noted by Niels Borne and Michel Emsalem, there is a natural generalization of the section conjecture for proper orbicurves. Combined with the reformulation by Niels Borne and Angelo Vistoli of the conjecture in terms of the…

Using Brakke's Evolver, we numerically verify conjectured optimal planar double bubbles for density $r^p$ and provide conjectures for triple and quadruple bubbles.

We formulate a plausible conjecture for the optimal Ehrhard-type inequality for convex symmetric sets with respect to the Gaussian measure. Namely, letting $J_{k-1}(s)=\int^s_0 t^{k-1} e^{-\frac{t^2}{2}}dt$ and $c_{k-1}=J_{k-1}(+\infty)$,…

Let $G$ be a connected nonregular graphs of order $n$ with maximum degree $\Delta$ that attains the maximum spectral radius. Liu and Li (2008) proposed a conjecture stating that $G$ has a degree sequence $(\Delta,\ldots,\Delta,\delta)$ with…

For $\alpha, \beta, \delta \in [0,1], \alpha +\beta = 1 $ we consider sets $$ {\rm BAD}^* (\alpha, \beta ;\delta) = \left\{\xi = (\xi_1,\xi_2) \in [0,1]^2: ,\inf_{p\in \mathbb{N}} \max \{(p\log(p+1))^\alpha ||p\xi_1||, (p\log (p+1))^\beta…

In this paper, we introduce the notion of excellent extension of rings. Let $\Gamma$ be an excellent extension of an artin algebra $\Lambda$, we prove that $\Lambda$ satisfies the Gorenstein symmetry conjecture (resp. finitistic dimension…

The Erd\"os-Hajnal conjecture states that for every graph $H$, there exists a constant $\delta(H) > 0$ such that every graph $G$ with no induced subgraph isomorphic to $H$ has either a clique or a stable set of size at least…

Consider the regular $n$-simplex $\Delta_n$ - it is formed by the convex-hull of $n+1$ points in Euclidean space, with each pair of points being in distance exactly one from each other. We prove an exact bound on the width of $\Delta_n$…

In a sequence of four papers, we prove the following results (via a unified approach) for all sufficiently large $n$: (i) [1-factorization conjecture] Suppose that $n$ is even and $D \geq 2\lceil n/4\rceil -1$. Then every $D$-regular graph…

We study the rate of growth of ergodic sums along a sequence (a_n) of times: S_N f(x)=f(T^{a_1}x) + ... + f(T^{a_N}x). We characterize the maximal rate of growth of these ergodic sums and identify a number of sequences such as (2^n) that…

We discuss conjectures related to the following two conjectures: (1) for each complex numbers x_1,...,x_n there exist rationals y_1,...,y_n \in [-2^{n-1},2^{n-1}] such that \forall i \in {1,...,n} (x_i=1 \Rightarrow y_i=1) \forall i,j,k \in…

Let $k$ be a number field, $f(x)\in k[x]$ a polynomial over $k$ with $f(0)\neq 0$, and $\O_{k,S}^*$ the group of $S$-units of $k$, where $S$ is an appropriate finite set of places of $k$. In this note, we prove that outside of some natural…

The Andrews-Curtis conjecture claims that every balanced presentation of the trivial group can be reduced to the standard one by a sequence of ``elementary transformations" which are Nielsen transformations augmented by arbitrary…

We present a simple dyadic construction that yields a new counterexample to Zygmund's conjecture. Our result recovers Soria's classical result in dimension three, through a different construction, and gives new ones in all other dimensions…

Let $\mathcal{F}\subset\binom{[n]}{k}$ be an intersecting family. For an element $i\in[n]$, the degree of $i$ is the number of sets in $\mathcal{F}$ that contain $i$. Assume that the degrees are ordered as $d_{1}\ge d_{2}\ge\cdots\ge…

We provide explicit counterexamples to the so-called Complement Problem in every dimension $n\geq3$, i.e. pairs of non-isomorphic irreducible hypersurfaces $H_1, H_2\subset\mathbb{C}^{n}$ whose complements $\mathbb{C}^{n}\setminus H_1$ and…

We investigate the implications of a curious biconditional involving divisors of odd perfect numbers, if Dris conjecture that $q^k < n$ holds, where $q^k n^2$ is an odd perfect number with Euler prime $q$. We then show that this…

A positive quadratic form is $(k,\ell)$-universal if it represents all the numbers $kx+\ell$ where $x$ is a non-negative integer, and almost $(k,\ell)$-universal if it represents all but finitely many of them. We prove that for any $k,\ell$…

Extension conjecture states that if a simple module over an artin algebra has nonzero first self-extension group then it has nonzero i-th self-extension group for infinitely many positive integers i. It is shown by recollement of…
