There are several extensions of the classical Banach Fixed Point Theorem in technical literature. A branch of generalizations replaces usual contractivity by weaker but still effective assumptions. Our note follows this stream, presenting…
A famous theorem of Kirkman says that there exists a Steiner triple system of order $n$ if and only if $n\equiv 1,3\mod{6}$. In 1973, Erd\H{o}s conjectured that one can find so-called `sparse' Steiner triple systems. Roughly speaking, the…
This article is an expanded version of my talk at the Gathering for Gardner, 2012.
The authors describe a general approach which, in principal, should produce the correct (conjectural) formula for every even integer moment of the Riemann zeta function. They carry it out for the sixth and eigth powers; in the case of sixth…
Given three permutations on the integers 1 through n, consider the set system consisting of each interval in each of the three permutations. Jozsef Beck conjectured (c. 1987) that the discrepancy of this set system is O(1). We give a…
These informal notes, not intended for publication, provide an approach to the Borsuk--Ulam theorem via Stokes' theorem, in a similar spirit to Lima's proof of the Brouwer fixed point theorem. They are intended to be accessible to anyone…
We conjecture two combinatorial interpretations for the symmetric function $\Delta_{e_k} e_n$, where $\Delta_f$ is an eigenoperator for the modified Macdonald polynomials defined by Bergeron, Garsia, Haiman, and Tesler. Both interpretations…
Motivated by an amazing integrality structure conjecture for the $U(N)$ Chern-Simons quantum invariants of framed knots investigated by Mari\~no and Vafa, a new conjectural formula, named Hecke lifting conjecture, was proposed in…
In this paper we consider the remaining cases of Hebey-Vaugon conjecture.
In this article, we give a proof on the Arnold-Chekanov Lagrangian intersection conjecture on the cotangent bundles and its generalizations.
We establish a version of the Arnold conjecture, both the degenerate and non-degenerate case, for target manifolds equipped with Clifford pencils of symplectic structures and the domains (time-manifolds) equipped with frames of…
We consider Carleson's problem regarding pointwise convergence for the Schr\"odinger equation. Bourgain recently proved that there is initial data, in $H^s(\mathbb{R}^n)$ with $s<\frac{n}{2(n+1)}$, for which the solution diverges on a set…
We give a short Wiener measure proof of the Riemann hypothesis based on a surprising, unexpected and deep relation between the Riemann zeta $\zeta(s)$ and the trivial zeta $\zeta_{t}(s):=Im(s)(2Re(s)-1)$.
We discuss various recent advances on weak forms of the Twin Prime Conjecture.
In upcoming papers by Conrey, Farmer and Zirnbauer there appear conjectural formulas for averages, over a family, of ratios of products of shifted L-functions. In this paper we will present various applications of these ratios conjectures…
The paper contains a simplified version of Stahl's proof of a conjecture of Bessis, Moussa and Villani on the trace of matrices A+tB with Hermitean A and B.
In this paper we prove an exponential covering lemma implying the three dimensional case of a well-known conjecture formulated by A. Zygmund circa 1935 and solved by A. C\'ordoba in 1978. Our approach avoids a subtle argument involving the…
Schinzel's Hypothesis (H) was used by Colliot-Th\'el\`ene and Sansuc, and later by Serre, Swinnerton-Dyer and others, to prove that the Brauer-Manin obstruction controls the Hasse principle and weak approximation on pencils of conics and…
We study strong approximation for some algebraic varieties over which are defined using norm forms over the rationals. This allows us to confirm a special case of a conjecture due to Harpaz and Wittenberg.
Baxter permutations originally arose in studying common fixed points of two commuting continuous functions. In 2015, Dilks proposed a conjectured bijection between Baxter permutations and non-intersecting triples of lattice paths in terms…
