The Erd\"{o}s-Straus conjecture states that the equation $\frac{4}{n}=\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y}+\frac{1}{z}$ has positive integer solutions $x, y, z$ for every postive integers $n\ge 2$. We generalize the Erd\"{o}s-Straus equation, state…

We study the Coxeter matrices and the homological quadratic forms of $n$-hereditary algebras within the framework of higher dimensional Auslander--Reiten theory. Let $\Lambda$ be a finite dimensional $n$-hereditary algebra with the Coxeter…

In this paper, we discuss two well-known open problems in the regularity theory for nonlinear, conformally invariant elliptic systems in dimensions $n\ge 3$, with a critical nonlinearity: $H$-systems (equations of hypersurfaces of…

The Steinitz lemma, a classic from 1913, states that $a_1,\ldots,a_n$, a sequence of vectors in $\R^d$ with $\sum_1^n a_i=0$, can be rearranged so that every partial sum of the rearranged sequence has norm at most $2d\max \|a_i\|$. In the…

This paper solves a problem that was stated by M. A. Harrison in 1973~\cite{harrison1973number}. This problem, that has remained open since then is concerned with counting equivalence classes of $n\times r$ binary matrices under row and…

The sum-product conjecture of Erd\H os and Szemer\'edi states that, given a finite set $A$ of positive numbers, one can find asymptotic lower bounds for $\max\{|A+A|,|A\cdot A|\}$ of the order of $|A|^{1+\delta}$ for every $\delta <1$. In…

In this paper, we prove that there are no solutions for the curvature equation \[ \Delta u+e^{u}=8\pi n\delta_{0}\text{ on }E_{\tau}, \quad n\in\mathbb{N}, \] where $E_{\tau}$ is a flat rectangular torus and $\delta_{0}$ is the Dirac…

In a celebrated paper of 1893, Hadamard established the maximal determinant theorem, which establishes an upper bound on the determinant of a matrix with complex entries of norm at most $1$. His paper concludes with the suggestion that…

We show that every entire solution to the Bernoulli (or one-phase) free boundary problem with finite Morse index in $\mathbb{R}^3$ is axially symmetric. In fact, we additionally prove that the same result would follow in any dimension $4…

Let $G$ be a planar graph with no two 3-cycles sharing an edge. We show that if $\Delta(G)\geq 9$, then $\chi'_l(G) = \Delta(G)$ and $\chi''_l(G)=\Delta(G)+1.$ We also show that if $\Delta(G)\geq 6$, then $\chi'_l(G)\leq\Delta(G)+1$ and if…

Lepton mass matrices similar to texture 4 zero quark mass matrices, known to be quite successful in explaining the CKM phenomenology, have been considered for finding the mixing matrix element U_{e3} (\equiv s_{13}) respecting the CHOOZ…

A zero-one matrix $M$ contains a zero-one matrix $A$ if one can delete some rows and columns of $M$, and turn some 1-entries into 0-entries such that the resulting matrix is $A$. The extremal number of $A$, denoted by $ex(n,A)$, is the…

In 2009, Roeglin and Teng showed that the smoothed number of Pareto optimal solutions of linear multi-criteria optimization problems is polynomially bounded in the number $n$ of variables and the maximum density $\phi$ of the semi-random…

The auto-cross covariance matrix is defined as \[\mathbf{M}_n=\frac{1} {2T}\sum_{j=1}^T\bigl(\mathbf{e}_j\mathbf{e}_{j+\tau}^*+\mathbf{e}_{j+ \tau}\mathbf{e}_j^*\bigr),\] where $\mathbf{e}_j$'s are $n$-dimensional vectors of independent…

The celebrated Andr\'{a}sfai--Erd\H{o}s--S\'{o}s Theorem from 1974 shows that every $n$-vertex triangle-free graph with minimum degree greater than $2n/5$ must be bipartite. Its extensions to $3$-uniform hypergraphs without the generalized…

We prove the first Fixed-depth Size-hierarchy Theorem for uniform AC$^0[\oplus]$ circuits; in particular, for fixed $d$, the class $\mathcal{C}_{d,k}$ of uniform AC$^0[\oplus]$ formulas of depth $d$ and size $n^k$ form an infinite…

This work relates to three problems, the classification of maximal Abelian subalgebras (MASAs) of the Lie algebra of square matrices, the classification of 2-step solvable Frobenius Lie algebras and the Gerstenhaber's Theorem. Let M and N…

A well-known theorem of Mantel states that every $n$-vertex graph with more than $\lfloor n^2/4\rfloor $ edges contains a triangle. An interesting problem in extremal graph theory studies the minimum number of edges contained in triangles…
