We prove the High Girth Existence Conjecture - the common generalization of the Existence Conjecture for Combinatorial Designs originating from the 1800s and Erd\H{o}s' Conjecture from 1973 on the Existence of High Girth Steiner Triple…
Analytic evaluation of Gordon's integral $$\operatorname {J}_c^{j(\pm p)}(b,b';\lambda,w,z)=\int_0^\infty x^{c+j-1}e^{-\lambda x}{}_1F_1(b;c;wx){}_1F_1(b';c\pm p;zx)dx,$$ are given along with convergence conditions. It shows enormous number…
We obtain new bounds of exponential sums modulo a prime $p$ with binomials $ax^k + bx^n$. In particular, for $k=1$, we improve the bound of Karatsuba (1967) from $O(n^{1/4} p^{3/4})$ to $O\left(p^{3/4} + n^{1/3}p^{2/3}\right)$ for any $n$,…
The aim of this note is a proof of a recent conjecture of Kellner concerning the number of distinct prime factors of a particular product of primes. The proof uses profound results from analytic number theory, such as Granville-Ramar\'{e}'s…
A new proof of Oka's lemma is given for smoothly bounded, pseudoconvex domains $D\subset\mathbb{C}^n$. The method of proof is then also applied to other convexity-like hypotheses on the boundary of $D$.
New sequences of orthogonal polynomials with ultra-exponential weight functions are discovered. In particular, it gives an explicit solution to the Ditkin-Prudnikov problem (1966). The 3-term recurrence relations, explicit representations,…
We prove a recent conjecture by Ulas on reducible polynomial substitutions.
This note gives simpler proofs of the variational and multiple priors representations in Maccheroni et al. (2006) and Gilboa and Schmeidler (1989).
Using the light ladder basis for Kuperberg's $C_2$ webs, we derive triple clasp formulas for idempotents projecting to the top summand in each tensor product of fundamental representations. We then find explicit formulas for the…
We correct an inaccuracy in the original proof
Watson proved Kirkman's hypothesis (partially solved by Cayley). Using Lagrange Inversion, we drastically shorten Watson's computations and generalize his results at the same time.
The classical transformation of Jacobi's theta function admits a simple proof by producing an integral representation that yields this invariance apparent. This idea seems to have first appeared in the work of S. Ramanujan. Several examples…
Recently, Hong Wang and Joshua Zahl announced a proof of the 3-dimensional Kakeya conjecture. This is a survey article on the proof of Kakeya. We introduce the problem, discuss previous work and some of the difficulties of the problem, and…
Enrico Bombieri proved that the ABC Conjecture implies Roth's theorem in 1994. This paper concerns the other direction. In making use of Bombieri's and Van der Poorten's explicit formula for the coefficients of the regular continued…
Recently, D. Burns and C. Greither (Invent. Math., 2003) deduced an equivariant version of the main conjecture for abelian number fields. This was the key to their proof of the equivariant Tamagawa number conjecture. A. Huber and G. Kings…
The infamous 3x+1 conjecture spread by Lothar Collatz in 1952, despite its elementary formulation, remained unproved for over 60 years. From the heuristical probabilistic approach to the complex mapping of the algorithm, the scientific…
We provide a short proof of the theorem that every real multivariate polynomial has a symmetric determinantal representation, which was first proved in J. W. Helton, S. A. McCullough, and V. Vinnikov, Noncommutative convexity arises from…
We give an exposition of an iteration theorem for iterating $(<\lambda)$-closed stationary $\lambda^+$-cc forcing with supports of size $<\lambda$ and preserving these two properties. We discuss the relation of this theorem with other…
We reveal in a rigorous mathematical way using the theory of differential forms, here viewed as sections of a Clifford bundle over a Lorentzian manifold, the true meaning of Freud's identity of differential geometry discovered in 1939 (as a…
We establish an expansion theory for $\text{SL}_2(\mathbb Z/q\mathbb Z)$. Incorporating this into a framework recently developed by Shkredov, we confirm Zaremba's conjecture.
