We study two conjectures in additive combinatorics. The first is the polynomial Freiman-Ruzsa conjecture, which relates to the structure of sets with small doubling. The second is the inverse Gowers conjecture for $U^3$, which relates to…

We introduce and study a unital version of shift equivalence for finite square matrices over the nonnegative integers. In contrast to the classical case, we show that unital shift equivalence does not coincide with one-sided eventual…

We resolve a 25 year old problem by showing that The Paving Conjecture is equivalent to The Paving Conjecture for Triangular Matrices.

The Pappas-Rapoport coherence conjecture, proved by Zhu, states that the dimensions of spaces of sections of certain line bundles coincide. The two sides of the equality correspond to the line bundles on spherical Schubert varieties in the…

In this paper a new conjecture equivalent to Collatz conjecture is presented. In particural, showing that (all) the solution(s) of newly introduced iterative functional equation(s) have a given property is equivalent to prove Collatz…

In this paper we establish $q$-orthogonality relation for the continuous $q$-ultraspherical polynomials, which was considered by Gasper. Additionally, we evaluate a new $q$-beta integral with several parameters.

In this note we give a survey on the DDVV conjecture which is also called the "normal scalar curvature conjecture".

We prove a probabilistic Fourier extension theorem that says Fourier extension holds when averaged over certain smooth Alpert multipliers. The proofs use smooth Alpert wavelets with the classical techniques of stationary phase and…

Since the early work of Richard Stanley, it has been observed that several permutation statistics have a remarkable property with respect to shuffles of permutations. We formalize this notion of a shuffle-compatible permutation statistic…

In this paper we shall develop a theory of (extended) double shuffle relations of Euler sums which generalizes that of multiple zeta values (see Ihara, Kaneko and Zagier, \emph{Derivation and double shuffle relations for multiple zeta…

A permutation is said to be a square if it can be obtained by shuffling two order-isomorphic patterns. The definition is intended to be the natural counterpart to the ordinary shuffle of words and languages. In this paper, we tackle the…

We define slope subalgebras in the shuffle algebra associated to a (doubled) quiver, thus yielding a factorization of the universal R-matrix of the double of the shuffle algebra in question. We conjecture that this factorization matches the…

In a 2016 ArXiv posting F. Bergeron listed a variety of symmetric functions $G[X;q]$ with the property that $G[X;1+q]$ is $e$-positive. A large subvariety of his examples could be explained by the conjecture that the Dyck path LLT…

We introduce elliptic hypertoric varieties, which is an elliptic analogue of hypertoric varieties and multiplicative hypertoric varieties. We also prove an elliptic version of Hikita conjecture, which relates elliptic (resp. additive and…

We present positivity conjectures for the Schur expansion of Jack symmetric functions in two bases given by binomial coefficients. Partial results suggest that there are rich combinatorics to be found in these bases, including Eulerian…

Question when rectangle can be tiled with similar copies of rectangles witch quetient of sides quadratic irrationalities. New proof of one part F. Sharov's theorem. Other close result.

We obtain new partial results supporting the spectral set conjecture in dimension 1.

Let $\mathcal{SS}_k(n)$ be the family of {\it shuffle squares} in $[k]^{2n}$, words that can be partitioned into two disjoint identical subsequences. Let $\mathcal{RSS}_k(n)$ be the family of {\it reverse shuffle squares} in $[k]^{2n}$,…

We formulate the Secant Conjecture, which is a generalization of the Shapiro Conjecture for Grassmannians. It asserts that an intersection of Schubert varieties in a Grassmannian is transverse with all points real, if the flags defining the…

Debbah and Ryan have recently proved a result about the limit empirical singular distribution of the sum of two rectangular random matrices whose dimensions tend to infinity. In this paper, we reformulate it in terms of the rectangular free…
