The goal of this paper is to give a simple proof of Deligne's conjecture (proven by Fujiwara) and to generalize it to the situation appearing in our joint project with David Kazhdan on the global Langlands correspondence over function…
In 2001 Sir M. F. Atiyah formulated a conjecture (C1) and later with P. Sutcliffe two stronger conjectures (C2) and (C3). These conjectures, inspired by physics (spin-statistics theorem of quantum mechanics), are geometrically defined for…
The concept of turnaround surface in an accelerating universe is generalized to arbitrarily large deviations from spherical symmetry, to close the gap between the idealized theoretical literature and the real world observed by astronomers.…
Given a sequence of properly embedded minimal surfaces in a $3$-manifold with local bounds on area and genus, we prove subsequential convergence, smooth away from a discrete set, to a smooth embedded limit surface, possibly with…
A classical result by Marston Morse asserts that on some ellipsoids of ${\mathbb R}^3$ there exists exactly 3 closed and simple geodesics. The goal of this presentation is to prove that this rigidity result does not extend to higher…
The Coleman-Mandula theorem, which states that space-time and internal symmetries cannot be combined in any but a trivial way, is generalized to an arbitrarily higher spacelike dimension. Prospects for further generalizations of the theorem…
We establish a lower bound for the surface area of a closed, convex hypersurface in Euclidean space in terms of its displacement under continuous maps. As a result, a hypothesized lower bound for the volume of a Riemannian $n$-sphere,…
Conventional wisdom holds that any region of 3-space contains infinitely many points, and the Planck length scale determines the uncertainty in every measurement of distance between two separate points. Against such a backdrop, this…
We construct open domains in Euclidean 3-space which do not admit complete properly immersed minimal surfaces with an annular end. These domains can not be smooth by a recent result of Martin and Morales
The projection onto the intersection of sets generally does not allow for a closed form even when the individual projection operators have explicit descriptions. In this work, we systematically analyze the projection onto the intersection…
A direct analog of Hadamard's three-circle theorem is obtained for harmonic functions (in weighted L^2-norm) in case of (n-1)-dimensional non-concentric spheres in R^n. The result extends the concentric case to correlated non-concentric,…
We show that the Volume Conjecture for polyhedra implies a weak version of the Stoker Conjecture; in turn we prove that this weak version of the Stoker conjecture implies the Stoker conjecture. The main tool used is an extension of a result…
We prove a conjecture of Durr, Kabanov and Okonek which provides an algebro-geometric theory of Seiberg-Witten invariants for all smooth projective surfaces. Our main technique is the cosection localization principle of virtual cycles.
The first purpose of this paper is to solve completely the finite field cone restriction conjecture in four dimensions with $-1$ non-square. The second is to introduce a new approach to study incidence problems via restriction theory. More…
The closed-universe recollapse conjecture is studied for the spherically symmetric spacetimes. It is proven that there exists an upper bound to the lengths of timelike curves in any Tolman spacetime that possesses $S^3$ Cauchy surfaces and…
We show that the Friedlander-Mazur conjecture holds for the product of an elliptic curve with some smooth projective variety of dimension 3. Moreover, we show that the Friedlander-Mazur conjecture is stable under a surjective map. As…
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…
Fuglede's conjecture in $\mathbb{Z}_{p}^{d}$, $p$ a prime, says that a subset $E$ tiles $\mathbb{Z}_{p}^{d}$ by translation if and only if $E$ is spectral, meaning any complex-valued function $f$ on $E$ can be written as a linear…
The Manin conjecture is established for a split singular cubic surface in P^3, with singularity type D_5.
We give a simple proof of why there is a Matrix theory approximation for a membrane shaped like an arbitrary Riemann surface. As corollaries, we show that noncompact membranes cannot be approximated by matrices and that the Poisson algebra…
