In this note, we combine ideas of several previous proofs in order to obtain a quite short proof of Gr\"otzsch theorem.

Recently we have obtained two simple proofs of Sharkovsky's theorem, one with directed graphs [7] and the other without [8]. In this note, we present yet more simple proofs of Sharkovsky's theorem.

We present a short and clear proof of the following particular case of a 2006 result of Melikhov-Schepin: Let $K$ be a $k$-dimensional simplicial complex and $K*[3]$ the union of three cones over $K$ along their common bases. If $2d\ge3k+3$…

The Union Closed Sets Conjecture is one of the most renowned problems in combinatorics. Its appeal lies in the simplicity of its statement contrasted with the potential complexity of its resolution. The conjecture posits that, in any union…

We present a new proof of the Joints Theorem without taking derivatives. Then we generalize the proof to prove the Multijoints Conjecture and Carbery's generalization. All results are in any dimension over an arbitrary field.

The arithmetic Kakeya conjecture, formulated by Katz and Tao in 2002, is a statement about addition of finite sets. It is known to imply a form of the Kakeya conjecture, namely that the upper Minkowski dimension of a Besicovitch set in…

We prove Atiyah's conjecture for two special types of configurations of N points in the three-dimensional Euclidean space. For one of these types, it is shown that the stronger conjecture of Atiyah and Sutcliffe is valid.

We give a very simple proof of a strengthened version of Chernoff's Inequality. We derive the same conclusion from much weaker assumptions.

We give a new proof of Quillen's conjecture for solvable groups via a geometric and explicit method. For p-solvable groups, we provide both a new proof using the Classification of Finite Simple Groups and an asymptotic version without…

We prove the discrete analogue of Kakeya conjecture over $\mathbb{R}^n$. This result suggests that a (hypothetically) low dimensional Kakeya set cannot be constructed directly from discrete configurations. We also prove a generalization…

We present a short new proof of Cobham's theorem without using Kronecker's approximation theorem, making it suitable for generalization beyond automatic sequences.

By any account, the 1998 proof of the Kepler conjecture is complex. The thesis underlying this article is that the proof is complex because it is highly under-automated. Throughout that proof, manual procedures are used where automated ones…

We prove boundedness of rationally-connected threefolds in $\mathbb P^6$ under some extra-assumptions.

We give a simple proof of the statement that every rational curve in the primitive class of a general K3 surface is nodal.

In this article, we study K3 double structures on minimal rational surfaces $Y$. The results show there are infinitely many non-split abstract K3 double structures on $Y = \mathbb{F}_e$ parametrized by $\mathbb P^1$, countably many of which…

We prove existence of conjugate Galois representations, and we use it to derive a simple method of weight reduction. As a consequence, an alternative proof of the level 1 case of Serre's conjecture follows.

We say that a planar set $A$ has the Kakeya property if there exist two different positions of $A$ such that $A$ can be continuously moved from the first position to the second within a set of arbitrarily small area. We prove that if $A$ is…

We give a short proof of Waldhausen's homeomorphism theorem for orientable Haken 3-manifolds.

The search for a point set configurations of the R^3 space which contains the smallest value of the Euclidean Steiner Ratio is almost finished. In the present work we introduce some analytical methods which aim to support a famous…

We provide a simple proof of Kamp's theorem.
