Let $K$ be an infinite field and let $I = (f_1,\cdots,f_r)$ be an ideal in the polynomial ring $R = K[x_1,\cdots,x_n]$ generated by generic forms of degrees $d_1,\cdots,d_r$. A longstanding conjecture by Fr\"{o}berg predicts the shape of…

Since their introduction by Erd\H{o}s in 1950, covering systems (that is, finite collections of arithmetic progressions that cover the integers) have been extensively studied, and numerous questions and conjectures have been posed regarding…

The van der Waerden's Conjecture states that the set $\mathscr{P}_{n,N}^0(\mathbb{Q})$ of monic integer polynomials $f(X)$ of degree $n$, with height $\le N$ such that the Galois group $G_{K_f/\mathbb{Q}}$ of the splitting field…

Let $\mathbb{Z}^{+}$ be the set of positive integers. Let $C_{k}$ denote all subsets of $\mathbb{Z}^{+}$ such that neither of them contains $k + 1$ pairwise coprime integers and $C_k(n)=C_k\cap \{1,2,\ldots,n\}$. Let $f(n, k) =…

There is a longstanding conjecture by Fr\"oberg about the Hilbert series of the ring $R/I$, where $R$ is a polynomial ring, and $I$ an ideal generated by generic forms. We prove this conjecture true in the case when $I$ is generated by a…

In this paper we show that every set $A \subset \mathbb{N}$ with positive density contains $B+C$ for some pair $B,C$ of infinite subsets of $\mathbb{N}$, settling a conjecture of Erd\H{o}s. The proof features two different decompositions of…

In a series of papers [Pan0], [Pan1], [Pan2], [Pan3] we give a detailed and better structured proof of the Grothendieck--Serre's conjecture for semi-local regular rings containing a finite field. The outline of the proof is the same as in…

Introduced by Erd\H{o}s in 1950, a covering system of the integers is a finite collection of arithmetic progressions whose union is the set $\mathbb{Z}$. Many beautiful questions and conjectures about covering systems have been posed over…

Enochs Conjecture asserts that each covering class of modules (over any ring) has to be closed under direct limits. Although various special cases of the conjecture have been verified, the conjecture remains open in its full generality. In…

A conjecture of Odoni stated over Hilbertian fields $K$ of characteristic zero asserts that for every positive integer $d$, there exists a polynomial $f\in K[x]$ of degree $d$ such that for every positive integer $n$, each iterate $f^{\circ…

This note describes a conjecture involving cyclotomic polynomials and some initial thoughts towards a solution. Given positive integers $m,n$, the conjecture is that either $\Phi_m(q)\leqslant\Phi_n(q)$ or $\Phi_m(q)\geqslant\Phi_n(q)$…

In 1971, Ruzsa conjectured that if $f:\ \mathbb{N}\rightarrow\mathbb{Z}$ with $f(n+k)\equiv f(n)$ mod $k$ for every $n,k\in\mathbb{N}$ and $f(n)=O(\theta^n)$ with $\theta<e$ then $f$ is a polynomial. In this paper, we investigate the…

Let $\mathcal{P}$ denote the set of all primes. In 1950, P. Erd\H{o}s conjectured that if $c$ is an arbitrarily given constant, $x$ is sufficiently large and $a_1,\dots , a_t$ are positive integers with $a_1<a_2<\cdot\cdot\cdot<a_t\leqslant…

In 1945, A. W. Goodman and R. E. Goodman proved the following conjecture by P. Erd\H{o}s: Given a family of (round) disks of radii $r_1$, $\ldots$, $r_n$ in the plane it is always possible to cover them by a disk of radius $R = \sum r_i$,…

The Eisenbud-Green-Harris (EGH) conjecture states that a homogeneous ideal in a polynomial ring $K[x_1,\,\ldots,\,x_n]$ over a field $K$ that contains a regular sequence $f_1,\,\ldots,\, f_n$ with degrees $a_i$, $i=1,\,\ldots,\,n$ has the…

We give a short proof of a sumset conjecture of Erd\"os, recently proved by Moreira, Richter and Robertson: every subset of the integers of positive density contains the sum of two infinite sets. The proof is written in the framework of…

The Erd\H{o}s-Szekeres conjecture states that any set of more than $2^{n-2}$ points in the plane with no three on a line contains the vertices of a convex $n$-gon. Erd\H{o}s, Tuza, and Valtr strengthened the conjecture by stating that any…

Erd\"os proved in 1946 that if a set $E\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ is closed and non-empty, then the set, called ambiguous locus or medial axis, of points in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with the property that the nearest point in $E$ is not unique, can be…
