For any positive integer $n$, the author previously constructed several minimal simplicial $n$-complexes which necessarily contain a non-splittable two-component link, consisting of an $(n-1)$-sphere and an $n$-sphere, in any embedding into…

Let $\cal R$ be an ordered vector space over an ordered division ring. We prove that every definable set $X$ is a finite union of relatively open definable subsets which are definably simply-connected, settling a conjecture from [5]. The…

In this paper we review the development and recent results of the Siu-Yang conjecture which is that every K\"ahler-Einstein compact complex manifold of complex dimension two with negative sectional curvature is biholomorphic to a compact…

The $d$-dimensional hypercube graph $Q_d$ has as vertices all subsets of $\{1,\ldots,d\}$, and an edge between any two sets that differ in a single element. The Ruskey-Savage conjecture asserts that every matching of $Q_d$, $d\ge 2$, can be…

We show that the subgroup lattice of any finite group satisfies Frankl's Union-Closed Conjecture. We show the same for all lattices with a modular coatom, a family which includes all supersolvable and dually semimodular lattices. A common…

We establish Conway's thrackle conjecture in the case of spherical thrackles; that is, for drawings on the unit sphere where the edges are arcs of great circles.

We prove Kawaguchi-Silverman conjecture for all surjective endomorphisms on every smooth rationally connected variety admitting an int-amplified endomorphism.

We prove that all 2-bridge ribbon knots are symmetric unions.

The disproved Nash Williams conjecture states that every 4-regular 4-connected graph has a hamiltonian cycle. We show that a modification of this conjecture is equivalent to the Dominating Cycle Conjecture.

We prove that every circled domain in the Riemann sphere admits a proper holomorphic embedding to C^2. Our methods also apply to circled domains with punctures, provided that all but finitely many of the punctures belong to the closure of…

We investigate a stronger formulation of Webb's conjecture on the contractibilty of the orbit space of the p-subgroup complexes in terms of finite topological spaces. The original conjecture, which was first proved by Symonds and, more…

It is well-known that all 2-knots are slice. Are all 2-links slice? This is an outstanding open question. In this paper we prove the following: For any 2-component 2-link (J,K)in the 4-sphere which bounds the 5-ball B^5, there is an…

The Langlands functoriality conjecture envisaged in the bisemialgebra framework is proved to correspond to the nonorthogonal completely reducible cuspidal representations of the bilinear algebraic semigroups.

In this article, we first give a proof on the Arnold chord conjecture which states that every Reeb flow has at least as many Reeb chords as a smooth function on the Legendre submanifold has critical points on contact manifold. Second, we…

In this article we prove that the Weinstein conjecture holds for contact manifolds $(\Sigma,\xi)$ for which $\mathrm{Cont}_0(\Sigma,\xi)$ is non-orderable in the sense of Eliashberg-Polterovich [EP00]. More precisely, we establish a link…

Seymour's Second-Neighborhood Conjecture states that every directed graph whose underlying graph is simple has at least one vertex $v$ such that the number of vertices of out-distance $2$ from $v$ is at least as large as the number of…

In this short note we prove the Borel conjecture for a family of aspherical manifolds that includes higher graph manifolds.

Feder and Subi conjectured that for any $2$-coloring of the edges of the $n$-dimensional cube, we can find an antipodal pair of vertices connected by a path that changes color at most once. We discuss the case of random colorings, and we…

We show that very general hypersurfaces in odd-dimensional simplicial projective toric varieties verifying a certain combinatorial property satisfy the Hodge conjecture (these include projective spaces). This gives a connection between the…

A general conjecture is stated on the cone of automorphic vector bundles admitting nonzero global sections on schemes endowed with a smooth, surjective morphism to a stack of $G$-zips of connected-Hodge-type; such schemes should include all…
