For each positive integer $n$, function $f$, and point $c$, the GGR Theorem states that $f$ is $n$ times Peano differentiable at $c$ if and only if $f$ is $n-1$ times Peano differentiable at $c$ and the following $n$-th generalized…

J. Marcinkiewicz and A. Zygmund proved in 1936 that, for all functions $f$ and points $x$, the existence of the $n$th Peano derivative $f_{(n)}(x)$ is equivalent to the existence of both $f_{(n-1)}(x)$ and the $n$th generalized Riemann…

We provide the first two examples of sets of generalized Riemann derivatives of orders up to $n$, $n\geq 2$, whose simultaneous existence for all functions~$f$ at~$x$ is equivalent to the existence of the $n$-th Peano derivative…

J. Marcinkiewicz and A. Zygmund proved in 1936 that the special $n$-th generalized Riemann derivative ${_2}D_nf(x)$ with nodes $0,1,2,2^2,\ldots, 2^{n-1}$, is equivalent to the $n$-th Peano derivative $f_{(n)}(x)$, for all $n-1$ times Peano…

Let R denote the reals, and let h: R^n --> R be a continuous, piecewise-polynomial function. The Pierce-Birkhoff conjecture (1956) is that any such h is representable in the form sup_i inf_j f_{ij}, for some finite collection of polynomials…

Let $p$ be a primer number, $n \geq 3$ and integer. Let $f(X) = X^n + a_{n-1}X^{n-1} + \cdots +a_1 X + a_0 \in \mathbb{F}_p[X]$ be a primitive polynomial of degree $n$. Let $C_f$ be the companion matrix of $f(X)$, and $G$ the companion…

We prove the GGS conjecture (1993), due to Gerstenhaber, Giaquinto, and Schack, which gives a particularly simple explicit quantization of classical r-matrices for Lie algebras gl(n) in terms of an element R satisfying the quantum…

We show that the Generalized Vanishing Conjecture $$\forall_{m \ge 1} [\Lam^m f^m = 0] \Longrightarrow \forall_{m \gg 0} [\Lam^m (g f^m) = 0]$$ for a fixed differential operator $\Lam \in k[\partial]$ follows from a special case of it,…

We show that Li's criterion equivalent to the Riemann hypothesis, viz. the statement that the sums k_n=Sum_rho(1-(1-1/rho)^n) over Riemann xi-function zeroes as well as all derivatives lambda_n=…

Recently, we have established the generalized Li's criterion equivalent to the Riemann hypothesis, viz. demonstrated that the sums over all non-trivial Riemann function zeroes k_n,a=Sum_rho(1-(1-((rho-a)/(rho+a-1))^n) for any real a not…

A new generalisation of Goldbach's conjecture (GGC) - also generalising that of Lemoine - is tested, introduced by the first author. It states that for every pair of positive integers $m_1, m_2$, every sufficiently large integer $n$…

An interesting, and still wide open, conjecture of Reiner and Stanton predicts that certain "strange" symmetric differences of $q$-binomial coefficients are always nonnegative and unimodal. We extend their conjecture to a broader, and…

Recently, we have established the generalized Li criterion equivalent to the Riemann hypothesis, viz. demonstrated that the sums over all non-trivial Riemann function zeroes k_n,a=Sum_(/rho)(1-(1-((/rho-a)/(/rho+a-1))^n) for any real a not…

Gamma conjecture I and the underlying Conjecture $\mathcal{O}$ for Fano manifolds were proposed by Galkin, Golyshev and Iritani recently. We show that both conjectures hold for all two-dimensional Fano manifolds. We prove Conjecture…

Zaremba's conjecture (1971) states that every positive integer number $d$ can be represented as a denominator (continuant) of a finite continued fraction $\frac{b}{d}=[d_1,d_2,\ldots,d_{k}],$ with all partial quotients…

There has been interest during the last decade in properties of the sequence {gcd(a^n-1,b^n-1)}, n=1,2,3,..., where a,b are fixed (multiplicatively independent) elements in either the rational integers, the polynomials in one variable over…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety over an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic, and $f$ a dynamical correspondence of $X$. In 2016, the second author conjectured that the dynamical degrees of $f$ defined by the…

We establish several results concerning the expected general phenomenon that, given a multiplicative function $f:\mathbb{N}\to\mathbb{C}$, the values of $f(n)$ and $f(n+a)$ are "generally" independent unless $f$ is of a "special" form.…

For $k\geq 2$, the $k$-generalized Fibonacci sequence $(F_n^{(k)})_{n}$ is defined by the initial values $0,0,...,0,1$ ($k$ terms) and such that each term afterwards is the sum of the $k$ preceding terms. In 2005, Noe and Post conjectured…

We investigate a fifty-year-old conjecture of Erd\H{o}s and Graham concerning whether the binomial coefficient ${n \choose k}$ with $1 \leq k \leq \frac{n}{2}$ must always have a divisor $\leq n$ that is ``close'' to $n$: that is, bigger…
