The entropic doubling $\sigma_{\operatorname{ent}}[X]$ of a random variable $X$ taking values in an abelian group $G$ is a variant of the notion of the doubling constant $\sigma[A]$ of a finite subset $A$ of $G$, but it enjoys somewhat…

The Mordell--Lang conjecture for abelian varieties states that the intersection of an algebraic subvariety $X$ with a subgroup of finite rank is contained in a finite union of cosets contained in $X$. In this article, we prove a uniform…

In \cite{Mil}, Milnor posed the {\em Monotonicity Conjecture} that the set of parameters within a family of real multimodal polynomial interval maps, for which the topological entropy is constant, is connected. This conjecture was proved…

In 1979 Frankl conjectured that in a finite non-trivial union-closed collection of sets there has to be an element that belongs to at least half the sets. We show that this is equivalent to the conjecture that in a finite non-trivial graph…

For a topological dynamical system consisting of a continuous map f, and a (not necessarily compact) subset Z of X, Bowen (1973) defined a dimension-like version of entropy, h_X(f,Z). In the same work, he introduced a notion of…

Let a $R$-body be a closed set, complement of union of open balls of radius $R$ in the Euclidean space. Properties generalizing similar ones for convex sets are proved for the family of $R$-bodies; properties for the family of sets…

Working in a variant of the intersection type assignment system of Coppo, Dezani-Ciancaglini and Venneri [1981], we prove several facts about sets of terms having a given intersection type. Our main result is that every strongly normalizing…

The Goldman-Parker Conjecture classifies the complex hyperbolic C-reflection ideal triangle groups up to discreteness. We proved the Goldman-Parker Conjecture in [Ann. of Math. 153 (2001) 533--598] using a rigorous computer-assisted proof.…

Two proofs of the Koml\'os-Major-Tusn\'ady embedding theorems, one for the uniform empirical process and one for the simple symmetric random walk, are given. More precisely, what are proved are the univariate coupling results needed in the…

Conventional approximations to Bayesian inference rely on either approximations by statistics such as mean and covariance or by point particles. Recent advances such as the ensemble Gaussian mixture filter have generalized these notions to…

The geometry conjecture, which was posed nearly a quarter of a century ago, states that the fixed point set of the composition of projectors onto nonempty closed convex sets in Hilbert space is actually equal to the intersection of certain…

We introduce some generalized topological concepts to deal with union-closed families, and show that one can reduce the proof of Frankl's conjecture to some families of so-called supratopological spaces. We prove some results on the…

In this paper, we use inductive methods similar to those employed in a 2025 paper by Alberts, Lemke Oliver, Wang and Wood in order to prove many new cases of the Twisted Malle's Conjecture. Previously, this conjecture had only been proven…

The main result of this paper is a proof using real analysis of the monotonicity of the topological entropy for the family of quadratic maps, sometimes called Milnor's Monotonicity Conjecture. In contrast, the existing proofs rely in one…

Let A_1,...,A_k be a collection of families of subsets of an n-element set. We say that this collection is cross-intersecting if for any i,j in [k] with i not equal to j, A in A_i and B in A_j implies that the intersection of A and B is…
