In this note, we describe a conjecture, that, for an odd prime p, relates special values of a cup product pairing on cyclotomic p-units in the pth cyclotomic field to the L-values of newforms satisfying modulo p congruences with Eisenstein…
We re-confirm, for the case of the unit p-ball of R^n, one of recent conjectures of G.Kuperberg on centrally symmetric convex bodies.This conjecture was very recently confirmrd for this particular case by D.A.Gutierrez using polygamma…
Uncertainty relations based on quantum coherence is an important problem in quantum information science. We discuss uncertainty relations for averaged unified ($\alpha$,$\beta$)-relative entropy of coherence under mutually unbiased…
We conjecture a new entropic uncertainty principle governing the entropy of complementary observations made on a system given side information in the form of quantum states, generalizing the entropic uncertainty relation of Maassen and…
A well-known conjecture asserts that there are infinitely many primes $p$ for which $p - 1$ is a perfect square. We obtain upper and lower bounds of matching order on the number of pairs of distinct primes $p,q \le x$ for which $(p - 1)(q -…
Which matrix norms induce proper measures for quantifying quantum coherence? We study this problem for two important classes of norms and show that (i) coherence measures cannot be induced by any unitary similarity invariant norm, and (ii)…
Closely following recent ideas of J. Borcea, we discuss various modifications and relaxations of Sendov's conjecture about the location of critical points of a polynomial with complex coefficients. The resulting open problems are formulated…
We primarily investigate congruences modulo $p$ for finite sums of the form $\sum_k\binom{rk}{k}x^k/k$ over the ranges $0<k<p$ and $0<k<p/r$, where $p$ is a prime larger than the positive integer $r$. Here $x$ is an indeterminate, thus…
In this paper, we pose lots of challenging conjectures on congruences for the sums involving binomial coefficients and Ap\'ery-like numbers modulo $p^3$, where $p$ is an odd prime.
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 sharp H\"older estimate for solutions of linear two-dimensional, divergence form elliptic equations with measurable coefficients, such that the matrix of the coefficients is symmetric and has {\em unit determinant}. Our result…
We study stability issues for the so-called Borell-Brascamp-Lieb inequalities, proving that when near equality is realized, the involved functions must be $L^1$-close to be $p$-concave and to coincide up to homotheties of their graphs.
We observe that a sequence satisfies Lucas congruences modulo $p$ if and only if its values modulo $p$ can be described by a linear $p$-scheme, as introduced by Rowland and Zeilberger, with a single state. This simple observation suggests…
We give two different definitions of what it means for a matrix-valued function to be log concave, guided by similar notions in complex differential geometry. After discussing a few simple examples, we proceed to develop some of the basic…
State representations summarize our knowledge about a system. When unobservable quantities are introduced the state representation is typically no longer unique. However, this non-uniqueness does not affect subsequent inferences based on…
Let a and x denote tuples of (jointly) freely noncommuting variables. A square matrix valued polynomial p in these variables is naturally evaluated at a tuple (A,X) of symmetric matrices with the result p(A,X) a square matrix. The…
We prove an integral formula computing multiplicities of square-integrable representations relative to Galois pairs over $p$-adic fields and we apply this formula to verify two consequences of a conjecture of Dipendra Prasad. One concerns…
Power law or generalized polynomial regressions with unknown real-valued exponents and coefficients, and weakly dependent errors, are considered for observations over time, space or space--time. Consistency and asymptotic normality of…
The paper [GLZ] "L-functions of Carlitz modules, resultantal varieties and rooted binary trees" is devoted to a description of some resultantal varieties related to L-functions of Carlitz modules. It contains a conjecture that some of these…
Suppose that ${\cal L}$ is a divergence form differential operator of the form ${\cal L}f:=(1/2) e^{U}\nabla_x\cdot\big[e^{-U}(I+H)\nabla_x f\big]$, where $U$ is scalar valued, $I$ identity matrix and $H$ an anti-symmetric matrix valued…
