We prove a substantial part of conjectures of Mazur and Tate that refine the conjecture of Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer. Our approach, which also leads to some results even finer than the predictions of Mazur and Tate, is via the `rank-zero…
Spencer Bloch and the author formulated a general conjecture (Tamagawa number conjecture) on the relation between values of zeta functions of motives and arithmetic groups associated to motives. We discuss this conjecture, and describe some…
In this paper, we generalize a conjecture due to Darmon and Logan in an adelic setting. We study the relation between our construction and Kudla's works on cycles on orthogonal Shimura varieties. This relation allows us to conjecture a…
These lecture notes review the topological string theory and its applications to mathematics and physics. They expand on material presented at the Takagi Lectures of the Mathematical Society of Japan on 21 June 2008 at Department of…
We make a number of observations on Conway surreal number theory which may be useful, for further developments, in both in mathematics and theoretical physics. In particular, we argue that the concepts of surreal numbers and matroids can be…
In this note, we establish the validity of a conjecture recently proposed in Mathematics Magazine and connect it to the existing interesting results
Many $\mathbb{Q}$-linear relations exist between multiple zeta values, the most interesting of which are various weighted sum formulas. In this paper, we generalized these to Euler sums and some other variants of multiple zeta values by…
We propose a model-theoretic structure for Shimura varieties and give necessary and sufficient conditions to obtain categoricity. We show that these conditions are directly related to important conjectures in number theory coming from…
This is an exposition of recent developments in the theory of bounded differences between primes. Readers are expected to be beginners of analytic number theory. The present text is a substantially improved and augmented version of the one…
The worldsheet of the string theory, which consisting of 26 free scalar fields in Minkowski space, is two dimensional conformal field theory. If we denote the two dimension conformal field theory by elliptic curve and denote the partition…
We collect here various conjectures on congruences made by the author in a series of papers, some of which involve binary quadratic forms and other advanced theories. Part A consists of 100 unsolved conjectures of the author while…
We prove a conjecture due to Kimoto and Wakayama from 2006 concerning Apery-like numbers associated to a special value of a spectral zeta function. Our proof uses hypergeometric series and p-adic analysis.
We give a survey on the relationship between non-commutative Iwasawa theory and the Equivariant Tamagawa Number Conjecture following the work of (in alphabetical order) Burns/Flach, Coates/Sujatha, Fukaya/Kato, Huber/Kings and others.
The similarity between the Polya's conjecture and the Bonomol'nyi bound remind us to consider a physical approach to Polya's conjecture. We conjecture a duality between the waves and the soliton solutions on the surface. We consider the…
We survey recent joint work with M. Rapoport and W. Zhang related to the arithmetic Gan-Gross-Prasad conjecture for Shimura varieties attached to unitary groups.
In the first part of this short work (in the form of a comment) we add the plots of two more values of the Li-Keiper coefficients lambda5 and lambda6, computed as in our recent work where the first four values were in particular given. This…
We explain a connection between the combinatorial Kashiwara-Vergne conjecture and the Kontsevich formula for quantization of Poisson manifolds
It is a popular paradoxical exercise to show that the infinite sum of positive integer numbers is equal to -1/12, sometimes called the Ramanujan sum. Here we propose a qualitative approach, much like that of a physicist, to show how the…
Let $F$ be a totally real field and $K$ a finite abelian CM extension of $F$. Using class field theory, we show that our previous result giving a strong form of the Brumer-Stark conjecture implies the minus part of the equivariant Tamagawa…
We discuss the relationships between the Andr\'e-Oort, Andr\'e-Pink-Zannier, and Mordell-Lang conjectures for Shimura varieties. We then combine the latter with the geometric Zilber-Pink conjecture to obtain some new results on unlikely…
