In this note we compute values of global linear Harbourne constants over arbitrary fields for up to ten lines. These invariants have appeared recently in the discussions around the Bounded Negativity Conjecture. They seem to be of…

A set $A$ of nonnegative integers is called a $B_h$-set if every solution to $a_1+\dots+a_h = b_1+\dots+b_h$, where $a_i,b_i \in A$, has $\{a_1,\dots,a_h\}=\{b_1,\dots,b_h\}$ (as multisets). Let $\gamma_k(h)$ be the $k$-th positive element…

We report a universal improvement to the standard Robertson--Schr\"odinger uncertainty relation. Our result shows that the Robertson--Schr\"odinger lower bound can be supplemented by a new noncommutativity-induced term. This term represents…

The classical Brun--Titchmarsh theorem gives an upper bound, which is of correct order of magnitude in the full range, for the number of primes $p\leqslant x$ satisfying $p\equiv a\bmod q$. We strengthen this inequality for different ranges…

Assuming that the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis (GRH) holds, we prove an explicit formula for the number of representations of an integer as a sum of $k\geq 5$ primes. Our error terms in such a formula improve by some logarithmic factors…

We prove that a suitably adjusted version of Peter Jones' formula for interpolation by bounded holomorphic functions gives a sharp upper bound for what is known as the constant of interpolation. We show how this leads to precise and…

For the fractional Brownian motion $B^H$ with the Hurst parameter value $H$ in (0,1/2), we derive new upper and lower bounds for the difference between the expectations of the maximum of $B^H$ over [0,1] and the maximum of $B^H$ over the…

In this paper, using the well known fact that the series of reciprocals of primes diverges, we obtain a general inequality for gaps of consecutive primes that holds for infinitely many primes. As it is shown the key ingredient for this…

Given a suitable arithmetic function h, we investigate the average order of h as it ranges over the values taken by an integral binary form F. A general upper bound is obtained for this quantity, in which the dependence upon the…

Write $T(n)$ as the sum of the reciprocals of the primes which divide $n$. Write $H(n) = \prod_{p|n}p/(p-1)$ where the product is over the prime divisors of $n$. We prove new bounds for $T(n)$ and $H(n)$ in terms of the smallest prime…

We give an upper bound on the number of perfect matchings in an undirected simple graph $G$ with an even number of vertices, in terms of the degrees of all the vertices in $G$. This bound is sharp if $G$ is a union of complete bipartite…

We study the asymptotic expansion for the Landau constants $G_n$ $$\pi G_n\sim \ln N + \gamma+4\ln 2 + \sum_{s=1}^\infty \frac {\beta_{2s}}{N^{2s}},~~n\rightarrow \infty, $$ where $N=n+3/4$, $\gamma=0.5772\cdots$ is Euler's constant, and…

For k greater than 1 and r different from 0, let pi^k_{2r}(x) denote the number of prime pairs (p,p^k+2r) with p not exceeding (large) x. By the Bateman-Horn conjecture, the function pi^k_{2r}(x) should be asymptotic to…

The existence of infinitely many consecutive prime triples $p_n$, $ p_{n+1}$, and $p_{n+2}$ as $n \to \infty$, is sufficient to prove that the Catalan constant $\beta(2)=0.9159655941\ldots $ is an irrational number. This note provides the…

Let $X$ be a random variable distributed according to the binomial distribution with parameters $n$ and $p$. It is shown that $P(X>EX)\ge1/4$ if $1>p\ge c/n$, where $c:=\ln(4/3)$, the best possible constant factor.

A well known upper bound for the spectral radius of a graph, due to Hong, is that $\mu_1^2 \le 2m - n + 1$. It is conjectured that for connected graphs $n - 1 \le s^+ \le 2m - n + 1$, where $s^+$ denotes the sum of the squares of the…

It is shown that the first $n$ prime numbers $p_1,...,p_n$ determine the next one by the recursion equation $$ p_{n+1} =\lim\limits_{s\to +\infty} [\prod\limits^n_{k=1} (1-\frac{1}{p^s_k}) \sum\limits^\infty_{j=1} \frac{1}{j^s} -1]^{-1/s}.…

Let $\mu_p$ be the generalized Gaussian distribution on $\mathbb{R}^n$ with density $e^{-\frac{|x|^p}{p}}$ multiplied by a constant depending on $p\ge 1$ and $n$, and $\alpha_p(n)$ be the largest number such that the Brunn-Minkowski type…

We obtain a bound on the girth g of a quaternion unit gain graph in terms of the rank r of its adjacency matrix. In particular, we show that g <= r + 2 and characterize all quaternion unit gain graphs for which g = r+2. This extends…

In this paper, we prove the twin prime conjecture showing that \begin{align} \sum \limits_{\substack{p\leq x\\p,p+2\in \mathbb{P}}}1\geq (1+o(1))\frac{x}{2\mathcal{C}\log^2 x}\nonumber \end{align} where $\mathcal{C}:=\mathcal{C}(2)>0$ fixed…
