We establish the existence of global weak solutions of the 2D incompressible Euler equation, for a large class of non-smooth open sets. These open sets are the complements (in a simply connected domain) of a finite number of connected…
Generalized \dK modules are introduced to solve an open problem: the odd Ext-module $\Eod(M)$ of a \dK module $M$ over a $d$-Koszul algebra $\m$ is a \K module over the even Yoneda algebra $\Eev(\m)$.
This is an exposition of the following `weak' Erd\H{o}s-Szemer\'edi conjecture for integer sets proved by Bourgain and Chang in 2004. For any $\gamma > 0$ there exists $\Lambda(\gamma) > 0$ such that for an arbitrary $A \subset \mathbb{N}$,…
We prove the logarithmic convexity of certain quantities, which measure the quadratic exponential decay at infinity and within two characteristic hyperplanes of solutions of Schr\"odinger evolutions. As a consequence we obtain some…
We study the cohomology of an elliptic differential complex arising from the infinitesimal moduli of heterotic string theory. We compute these cohomology groups at the standard embedding, and show that they decompose into a direct sum of…
Let $k \ge 2$ be even, and let $r$ be a non-zero integer. We show that for almost all $d \ge 2$ (in the sense of natural density), the equation $$ x^k+(x+r)^k+\cdots+(x+(d-1)r)^k=y^n, \qquad x,~y,~n \in \mathbb{Z}, \qquad n \ge 2, $$ has no…
The partition function is known to exhibit beautiful congruences that are often proved using the theory of modular forms. In this paper, we study the extent to which these congruence results apply to the generalized Frobenius partitions…
It is shown that the knapsack problem (introduced by Myasnikov, Nikolaev, and Ushakov) is undecidable in a direct product of sufficiently many copies of the discrete Heisenberg group (which is nilpotent of class 2). Moreover, for the…
It is well known that several classical geometry problems (e.g., angle trisection) are unsolvable by compass and straightedge constructions. But what kind of object is proven to be non-existing by usual arguments? These arguments refer to…
Assuming a modular version of Schanuel's conjecture and the modular Zilber-Pink conjecture, we show that the existence of generic solutions of certain families of equations involving the modular $j$ function can be reduced to the problem of…
We explore variants of Erd\H os' unit distance problem concerning dot products between successive pairs of points chosen from a large finite subset of either $\mathbb F_q^d$ or $\mathbb Z_q^d,$ where $q$ is a power of an odd prime.…
In this paper we study the Schr\"{o}der-Bernstein problem for modules. We obtain a positive solution for the Schr\"{o}der-Bernstein problem for modules invariant under endomorphisms of their general envelopes under some mild conditions that…
Let H(k) be the smallest N such that every finite coloring of [N] contains a monochromatic or rainbow k-term arithmetic progression. Erd\H{o}s and Graham asked whether $H(k)^{1/k}/k \to \infty$ (Problem #190 of the Erd\H{o}s Problems…
We give an overpartition analogue of Bressoud's combinatorial generalization of the G\"ollnitz-Gordon theorem for even moduli in general case. Let $\widetilde{O}_{k,i}(n)$ be the number of overpartitions of $n$ whose parts satisfy certain…
For the general obstacle problem, we prove by direct methods an epiperimetric inequality at regular and singular points, thus answering a question of Weiss (Invent. Math., 138 (1999), 23--50). In particular at singular points we introduce a…
We show an equivalence between a conjecture of Bisztriczky and Fejes T{\'o}th about arrangements of planar convex bodies and a conjecture of Goodman and Pollack about point sets in topological affine planes. As a corollary of this…
We present several generalizations of the well-known Kunen inconsistency that there is no nontrivial elementary embedding from the set-theoretic universe V to itself. For example, there is no elementary embedding from the universe V to a…
We study the failure of the integral Hasse principle and strong approximation for the Erd\H{o}s-Straus conjecture using the Brauer-Manin obstruction.
We give a proof of the Erd\H{o}s-Ko-Rado Theorem using the Borel Fixed Point Theorem from algebraic group theory. This perspective gives a strong analogy between the Erd\H{o}s-Ko-Rado Theorem and (generalizations of) the Gerstenhaber…
We show that the problem `whether a finite set of regular-linear axioms defines a rigid theory' is undecidable.
