In this paper, we introduce the zero divisor graph of a multiplicative lattice. We provide a counter example to Beck's conjecture for multiplicative lattices. Further, we prove that Beck's conjecture is true for reduced multiplicative…

The Brauldi-Hoffman conjecture, proved by Rowlinson in 1988, characterized the graph with maximal spectral radius among all simple graphs with prescribed number of edges. In 2008, Bhattacharya, Friedland, and Peled proposed an analog, which…

Results in the preliminary version have been strengthed. In addition, Batyrev's conjectural formula for quantum cohomology of projective bundles associated to direct sum of line bundles over $\Pee^n$ is partially verified.

In [2] the author claims to provide a counterexample to a result in a recent paper [1]. In this note, we prove that the details of his example is false and this example is compatible with our result in [1] and so is not a countreexample.

Two new sufficient conditions for generalized cycles (including Hamilton and dominating cycles as special cases) in an arbitrary k-connected graph (k=1,2,...) are derived, which prove the truth of Bondy's (1980) famous conjecture for some…

We give an explicit counterexample to an entanglement inequality suggested in a recent paper [quant-ph/0005126] by Benatti and Narnhofer. The inequality would have had far-reaching consequences, including the additivity of the entanglement…

A long-standing Conjecture of S. Negami states that a connected graph has a finite planar cover if and only if it embeds in the projective plane. It is known that the Conjecture is equivalent to the fact that \emph{the graph $K_{1,2, 2, 2}$…

The statistics behind Bell's inequality is demonstrated to allow a Kolmogorovian (i.e. classical) model of probabilities that recovers the quantum covariance.

In 1951, Bang posed the affine plank conjecture, which remains open: If a convex body in $\mathbb{R}^d$ is covered by planks, then the total relative width of the planks is at least one. We prove a lower bound of $2/(1+\sqrt{d})$ for this…

We prove Jones' famous conjecture for Halin graphs and a somewhat more general class of graphs, too. A based planar graph is a planar one that has a face adjacent to every other face. We confirm Jones' conjecture for based planar graphs.…

We give an proof on the Weinstein conjecture on the cotangent bundles of open manifolds. Its proof is based on Gromov's nonlinear Fredholm alternative.

We prove that the Laptev--Safronov conjecture (Comm. Math. Phys., 2009) is false in the range that is not covered by Frank's positive result (Bull. Lond. Math. Soc., 2011). The simple counterexample is adaptable to a large class of…

We give a counterexample to the most optimistic analogue (due to Kleshchev and Ram) of the James conjecture for Khovanov-Lauda-Rouquier algebras associated to simply-laced Dynkin diagrams. The first counterexample occurs in type A_5 for p =…

In this paper we have given an algorithmic proof of an long standing Barnette's conjecture (1969) that every 3-connected bipartite cubic planar graph is hamiltonian. Our method is quite different than the known approaches and it rely on the…

In the paper Planarity and Hyperbolicity in Graphs, the authors present the following conjecture: every tessellation of the Euclidean plane with convex tiles induces a non-hyperbolic graph. It is natural to think that this statement holds…

Recently, a conjecture due to Hendry was disproved which stated that every Hamiltonian chordal graph is cycle extendible. Here we further explore the conjecture, showing that it fails to hold even when a number of extra conditions are…
