Campana introduced a notion of Campana rational connectedness for Campana orbifolds. Given a Campana fibration over a complex curve, we prove that a version of weak approximation for Campana sections holds at places of good reduction when…

We compute the minimal exponent of the affine cone over a complete intersection of smooth projective hypersurfaces intersecting transversely. The upper bound for the minimal exponent is proved, more generally, in the weighted homogeneous…

We give a new elementary proof of Landau's Prime Ideal Theorem. The proof is an extension of Richter's proof of the Prime Number Theorem. The main result contains other results related to the equidistribution of the prime ideal counting…

Proofs are traditionally syntactic, inductively generated objects. This paper reformulates first-order logic (predicate calculus) with proofs which are graph-theoretic rather than syntactic. It defines a combinatorial proof of a formula…

We give a new proof for an equality of certain max-min and min-max approximation problems involving normal matrices. The previously published proofs of this equality apply tools from matrix theory, (analytic) optimization theory and…

We give a short and elementary proof of Jung's theorem, which states that for a field K of characteristic zero the automorphisms of K[x,y] are generated by elementary automorphisms and linear automorphisms.

For statistical decision problems with finite parameter space, it is well-known that the upper value (minimax value) agrees with the lower value (maximin value). Only under a generalized notion of prior does such an equivalence carry over…

We present here a simple and direct proof of the classic geometric version of Hahn-Banach Theorem from its analitic version, in the real case. The reciprocal implication, and the direct proofs of both versions, are already well kown, but…

In this paper, by an example we show that the general minimax results of Fan and Sion cannot be extended on usual dense sets. Nevertheless, we obtain some new minimax results on a special type of dense set that we call self-segment-dense.…

We give a short proof of the following theorem of Hara and Nakai: for a finitely bordered Riemann surface $R$, one can find an upper bound of the corona constant of $R$ that depends only on the genus and the number of boundary components of…

The smallness is proved of fundamental groups for arithmetic schemes. This is a higher dimensional analogue of the Hermite-Minkowski theorem. We also refer to the case of varieties over finite fields. As an application, we prove certain…
