We study equations with infinitely many derivatives. Equations of this type form a new class of equations in mathematical physics. These equations originally appeared in p-adic and later in fermionic string theories and their investigation…

Let $B_{n}(t)$ be the $n$th Stern polynomial, i.e., the $n$th term of the sequence defined recursively as $B_{0}(t)=0, B_{1}(t)=1$ and $B_{2n}(t)=tB_{n}(t), B_{2n+1}(t)=B_{n}(t)+B_{n-1}(t)$ for $n\in\N$. It is well know that $i$th…

In this paper, we consider arithmetic progressions contained in Lucas sequences of first and second kind. We prove that for almost all sequences, there are only finitely many and their number can be effectively bounded. We also show that…

We solve two long-standing open problems on word equations. Firstly, we prove that a one-variable word equation with constants has either at most three or an infinite number of solutions. The existence of such a bound had been conjectured,…

We prove a Lagrangian analogue of the Conley conjecture: given a 1-periodic Tonelli Lagrangian with global flow on a closed configuration space, the associated Euler-Lagrange system has infinitely many periodic solutions. More precisely, we…

We use an elementary argument to prove some finite sums involving expressions of the forms $(q)_n$ and $(a;q)_n$ along with inductive formulas for some sequences.

An algebraic method is used to study the semantics of exceptions in computer languages. The exceptions form a computational effect, in the sense that there is an apparent mismatch between the syntax of exceptions and their intended…

There is no trivial mathematics, there are only trivial mathematicians! A mathematician is trivial if he or she believes that there exists trivial mathematics. Being a non-trivial mathematician myself, I will describe ten different proofs…

The odd part of 2^e! as e approaches infinity leads to a 2-adic integer z. The bits of z were publicized in OEIS-A359349, where two conjectures were made, relevant to computing z. We prove both of those conjectures. A second 2-adic integer,…

Adjoint logic is a general approach to combining multiple logics with different structural properties, including linear, affine, strict, and (ordinary) intuitionistic logics, where each proposition has an intrinsic mode of truth. It has…

Fix a prime $p$. We prove that the set of sentences true in all but finitely many finite extensions of $\mathbb{Q}_p$ is undecidable in the language of valued fields with a cross-section. The proof goes via reduction to characteristic $p$,…

We conjecture that every infinite group $G$ can be partitioned into countably many cells $G=\bigcup_{n\in\omega}A_n$ such that $cov(A_nA_n^{-1})=|G|$ for each $n\in\omega$. Here $cov(A)=\min\{|X|:X\subseteq G, G=XA\}$. We confirm this…

We relate the n! conjecture (by Garsia and Haiman) to the geometry of principal nilpotent pairs, and state a conjecture generalizing the n! conjecture to arbitrary semisimple algebraic groups. We also show, using Borel's fixed point…

We report the results of our empirical investigations on the Bateman-Horn conjecture. This conjecture, in its commonly known form, produces rather large deviations when the polynomials involved are not monic. We propose a modified version…
