We prove that the Littlewood conjecture is satisfied for a restricted class of pairs $(\alpha,\beta)$ of badly approximable numbers. We use the localization of the roots of a cubic equation with coefficients depending on the diophantine…
Hilbert's 14th problem studies the finite generation property of the intersection of an integral algebra of finite type with a subfield of the field of fractions of the algebra. It has a negative answer due to the counterexample of Nagata.…
This thesis is about the study of Diophantine equations involving binary recurrent sequences with arithmetic functions. Various Diophantine problems are investigated and new results are found out of this study. Firstly, we study several…
The aim of this note is to show that given a positive integer $n \geq 5$, the positive integral solutions of the diophantine equation $4/n = 1/x + 1/y+1/z$ cannot have solution such that $x$ and $y$ are coprime with $xy < \sqrt{z/2}$. The…
Let $f \colon X \to X$ be a surjective endomorphism of a normal projective surface. When $\operatorname{deg} f \geq 2$, applying an (iteration of) $f$-equivariant minimal model program (EMMP), we determine the geometric structure of $X$.…
A recent result of the first author with Li and Pipher has established the extrapolation of solvability of the $L^p$ parabolic Neumann problem on unbounded graph domains of the form $\Omega=\{(x',x_n):\,x_n>\varphi(x')\}\times\mathbb R$,…
Eggert's Conjecture says that if R is a finite-dimensional nilpotent commutative algebra over a perfect field F of characteristic p, and R^{(p)} is the image of the p-th power map on R, then dim_F R \geq p dim_F R^{(p)}. Whether this very…
Let $\Omega$ be a bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^{N+1}$ with a connected $C^{2,\epsilon}$ ($\epsilon\in(0,1)$) boundary. We show that, if the following overdetermined elliptic problem \begin{equation} -\Delta u=\alpha u\,\,…
For K \subseteq C, let B_n(K)={(x_1,...,x_n) \in K^n: for each y_1,...,y_n \in K the conjunction (\forall i \in {1,...,n} (x_i=1 => y_i=1)) AND (\forall i,j,k \in {1,...,n} (x_i+x_j=x_k => y_i+y_j=y_k)) AND (\forall i,j,k \in {1,...,n}…
Inspired by Lehmer's conjecture on the nonvanishing of the Ramanujan $\tau$-function, one may ask whether an odd integer $\alpha$ can be equal to $\tau(n)$ or any coefficient of a newform $f(z)$. Balakrishnan, Craig, Ono, and Tsai used the…
We investigate the connection between bijective, not necessarily finite, set-theoretic solutions of the pentagon equation and Hopf algebras. Firstly, we prove that finite solutions correspond to Hopf algebras with the positive basis…
A well-known class of questions asks the following: If $X$ and $Y$ are metric measure spaces and $f:X\rightarrow Y$ is a Lipschitz mapping whose image has positive measure, then must $f$ have large pieces on which it is bi-Lipschitz?…
In this paper we will explore the solutions to the diophantine equation in the Erd\H{o}s-Straus conjecture. For a prime $p$ we are discussing the relationship between the values $x,y,z \in \mathbb{N}$ so that $$ \frac{4}{p} = \frac{1}{x} +…
Motivated by the Serrin problem, we study weak solutions of the generalised Alt-Caffarelli problem $-\Delta u = f$ in $\Omega$, $u = 0$ on $\partial\Omega$, $\partial_\nu u = Q$ on $\partial\Omega$. Our main result establishes that if…
We provide a criterion for a coherent sheaf to be an Ulrich sheaf in terms of a certain bilinear form on its global sections. When working over the real numbers we call it a positive Ulrich sheaf if this bilinear form is symmetric or…
We compute an explicit closed formula for the Hilbert polynomial of the Jacobian algebra $M(f)$ of a reduced surface $X:f=0$ in $\mathbb P^3$ in terms of the graded Betti numbers of the algebra $M(f)$. When $X$ has only isolated…
The resolvent degree $\textrm{rd}_{\mathbb{C}}(n)$ is the smallest integer $d$ such that a root of the general polynomial $$f(x) = x^n + a_1 x^{n-1} + \ldots + a_n$$ can be expressed as a composition of algebraic functions in at most $d$…
Let $K\subseteq \mathbb{R}$ be a number field. Using techniques of discrete analysis, we prove that for definable sets $X$ in $\mathbb{R}_{\exp}$ of dimension at most $2$ a conjecture of Wilkie about the density of rational points is…
Let O_{Lambda} be a higher rank graph C*-algebra of rank r. For every tuple p of non-negative integers there is a canonical completely positive map Phi^p on O_{Lambda} and a subshift T^p on the path space X of the graph. We show that…
The theory of Gromov-Hausdorff convergence is applied to sequences of quotient rings of integers. It is shown the existence of limit rings (fields) as the Gromov-Hausdorff limits of sequences of metric quotient rings. The relation of these…
