Let $\Sigma=\{a_1, \ldots , a_n\}$ be a set of positive integers with $a_1 < \ldots < a_n$ such that all $2^n$ subset sums are pairwise distinct. A famous conjecture of Erd\H{o}s states that $a_n>C\cdot 2^n$ for some constant $C$, while the…

Let $K$ be a convex body in ${\mathbb R}^n$, and let $\Pi_1({\mathbb R}^n)$ be the space of polynomials in $n$ variables of degree at most $1$. Given an $(n+1)$-element set $Y\subset K$ in general position, we let $P_Y$ denote the Lagrange…

Let $1\leq i \leq k < n$ be integers. We prove the following exact inequalities for any convex body $K\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ with centroid at the origin, and any $k$-dimensional subspace $E\subset \mathbb{R}^n$: \begin{align*} &V_i \big(…

Let $k$ be a totally real number field and $p$ a prime. We show that the ``complexity'' of Greenberg's conjecture ($\lambda = \mu = 0$) is of $p$-adic nature governed (under Leopoldt's conjecture) by the finite torsion group ${\mathcal…

The Betke-Henk-Wills conjecture provides an upper bound for the lattice point enumerator $G(K, \Lambda)$ of a convex body in terms of its successive minima. While the conjecture is established for orthogonal parallelotopes, its validity for…

We prove that the absolute extendability constant of a finite metric space may be determined by computing relative projection constants of certain Lipschitz-free spaces. As an application, we show that $\mbox{ae}(3)=4/3$ and…

Next year we will celebrate 100 years of the cosmological term, $\Lambda$, in Einstein's gravitational field equations, also 50 years since the cosmological constant problem was first formulated by Zeldovich, and almost about two decades of…

Fix a space dimension $d\ge 2$, parameters $\alpha > -1$ and $\beta \ge 1$, and let $\gamma_{d,\alpha, \beta}$ be the probability measure of an isotropic random vector in $\mathbb{R}^d$ with density proportional to \begin{align*}…

A famous conjecture of Erd\H os and Straus is that for every integer $n\ge2$, $4/n$ can be represented as $1/x+1/y+1/z$, where $x,y,z$ are positive integers. This conjecture was generalized to $5/n$ by Sierpi\'nski, and then Schinzel…

Let $K$ be a proper (i.e., closed, pointed, full convex) cone in ${\Bbb R}^n$. An $n\times n$ matrix $A$ is said to be $K$-primitive if there exists a positive integer $k$ such that $A^k(K \setminus \{0 \}) \subseteq$ int $K$; the least…

We prove an effective restriction theorem for stable vector bundles $E$ on a smooth projective variety: $E|_D$ is (semi)stable for all irreducible divisors $D \in |kH|$ for all $k$ greater than an explicit constant. As an application, we…

For any fixed $k\geq 2$, we prove that every sufficiently large integer can be expressed as the sum of a $k$th power of a prime and a number with at most $M(k)=6k$ prime factors. For sufficiently large $k$ we also show that one can take…

We prove two conjectures in this paper. The first conjecture is by Lund, Pham and Thu: Given a Borel set $A\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ such that $\dim A\in (k,k+1]$ for some $k\in\{1,\dots,n-1\}$. For $0<s<k$, we have \[ \text{dim}(\{y\in…

We prove a relativization of the Alon Second Eigenvalue Conjecture for all $d$-regular base graphs, $B$, with $d\ge 3$: for any $\epsilon>0$, we show that a random covering map of degree $n$ to $B$ has a new eigenvalue greater than…

Given a subset K of the unit Euclidean sphere, we estimate the minimal number m = m(K) of hyperplanes that generate a uniform tessellation of K, in the sense that the fraction of the hyperplanes separating any pair x, y in K is nearly…

The Nagata Conjecture is one of the most intriguing open problems in the area of curves in the plane. It is easily stated. Namely, it predicts that the smallest degree d of a plane curve passing through r $\ge$ 10 general points in the…

In this paper, we solve the optimal constant problem in the setting of Ohsawa's generalized $L^{2}$ extension theorem. As applications, we prove a conjecture of Ohsawa and the extended Suita conjecture, we also establish some relations…

Kalton and Roberts [Trans. Amer. Math. Soc., 278 (1983), 803--816] proved that there exists a universal constant $K\leqslant 44.5$ such that for every set algebra $\mathcal{F}$ and every 1-additive function $f\colon \mathcal{F}\to \mathbb…

We prove the following statement, which has been conjectured since 1985: There exists a constant $K$ such that for all natural numbers $d,g$ with $g\le Kd^{3/2}$ there exists an irreducible component of the Hilbert scheme of $\mathbb{P}^3$…

In 1951, Linnik proved the existence of a constant $K$ such that every sufficiently large even number is the sum of two primes and at most $K$ powers of 2. Since then, this style of approximation has been considered for problems similar to…
