Problem 4.19 in Ziegler's "Lectures on Polytopes" asserts that every simple $3$-dimensional polytope has the property that its dual can be constructed as the convex hull of a subset of the vertices of the original simple polytope. In this…
In this letter a generic counterexample to the strong cosmic censor conjecture is exhibited. More precisely---taking into account that the conjecture lacks any precise formulation yet---first we make sense of what one would mean by a…
A composition of birational maps given by Laurent polynomials need not be given by Laurent polynomials; however, sometimes---quite unexpectedly---it does. We suggest a unified treatment of this phenomenon, which covers a large class of…
For every $g\ge 2$ and $n\ge4$, we provide an $n-$manifold $M$ and a continuous $2-$sided map $f\colon S\longrightarrow M$, where $S$ is a closed genus $g$ surface, such that no simple loop is contained in $\text{ker}(\,f_*\,)$. This…
We review a certain problem on covering triangles in the plane. Equivalently, it can be viewed as a family of 'isobilliard' inequalities in convex shapes, and as a special case of Viterbo's conjecture in symplectic geometry. We give an…
We study the integral Hodge conjecture in complex codimension $2$ and $3$ for approximations to the classifying space of groups of type A. In degree two, we prove a conjecture of Ben Antieau, extending his two counterexamples to a general…
We provide a broad class of counterexamples to a conjecture of L. de Branges concerning the superfluity of the continuity property in the axiomatic description of de Branges spaces.
In this note we construct a class of counterexamples to the "composition conjecture" concerning an infinitesimal version of the center problem for the polynomial Abel equation in the complex domain.
We consider the conjectures from the paper by Katzarkov, Kontsevich, and Pantev about Landau-Ginzburg Hodge numbers associated to tamely compactifiable Landau-Ginzburg models. We test these conjectures in case of dimension two, verifying…
We discuss a construction that gives counterexamples to various questions of unique determination of convex bodies.
A four dimensional non-trivial extension of the Poincar\'e algebra different from supersymmetry is explicitly studied. Representation theory is investigated and an invariant Lagrangian is exhibited. Some discussion on the Noether theorem is…
In this short note, we construct an explicit embedding of the rescaling of the $p$-sum $K\oplus_p K^{\circ}$ of the centrally symmetric convex domain $K$ and its polar $K^{\circ}$ to the product $K \times K^{\circ}$. The rescaling constant…
Nous refutons, sous une certaine hypothese combinatoire, la "nonrevisiting path conjecture". Abstract: In this article, we give, under some hypothesis, a couterexample to the nonrevisiting path conjecture.
In this note we apply the billiard technique to deduce some results on Viterbo's conjectured inequality between volume of a convex body and its symplectic capacity. We show that the product of a permutohedron and a simplex (properly related…
We present a counterexample to Conjecture~14.1.6 from [Vladimir Kanovei, Borel equivalence relations], regarding Borel equivalence relations on product spaces.
Six conjectures on pairs of consecutive primes are listed in this paper, together with examples for each case.
We give the counter-examples related to a Gaussian Brunn-Minkowski inequality and the (B) conjecture.
We present a multidimensional generalization of Zeckendorf's Theorem (any positive integer can be written uniquely as a sum of non-adjacent Fibonacci numbers) to a large family of linear recurrences. This extends work of Anderson and…
In this paper, we relate Viterbo's conjecture from symplectic geometry to Minkowski versions of worm problems which are inspired by the well-known Moser worm problem from geometry. For the special case of Lagrangian products this relation…
We prove a Lagrangian analogue of the Conley conjecture: given a 1-periodic Tonelli Lagrangian with global flow on a closed configuration space, the associated Euler-Lagrange system has infinitely many periodic solutions. More precisely, we…
