We report new hypergeometric constructions of rational approximations to Catalan's constant, $\log2$, and $\pi^2$, their connection with already known ones, and underlying "permutation group" structures. Our principal arithmetic achievement…

We formulate and prove a new criterion for stability of e-processes. It says that any e-process which is averagely bounded and concentrating is asymptotically stable. In the second part, we show how this general result applies to some shell…

A notion of sectional regularity for a homogeneous ideal $I$, which measures the regularity of its generic sections with respect to linear spaces of various dimensions, is introduced. It is related to axial constants defined as the…

A new formulation of quantum mechanics is proposed based on a new principle that can be considered a generalization of the Born rule. The principle is composed of a mathematical expression and an associated interpretation, and establishes a…

We develop a method to recognize admissibility of $\Pi_{2}$-rules, relating this problem to a specific instance of the unification problem with linear constants restriction, called here "unification with simple variable restriction". It is…

We compute the averages over elliptic curves of the constants occurring in the Lang-Trotter conjecture, the Koblitz conjecture, and the cyclicity conjecture. The results obtained confirm the consistency of these conjectures with the…

For a fixed rational number g and integers a and d the sets N_g(a,d), respectively R_g(a,d), of primes p for which the order, respectively the index of g(mod p) is congruent to a(mod d), are considered. Under the Generalized Riemann…

We obtain expressions for second kind integrals on non-hyperelliptic $(n,s)$-curves. Such a curve possesses a Weierstrass point at infinity which is a branch point where all sheets of the curve come together. The infinity serves as the…

We present several regularity results for a biological network formulation model originally introduced by D. Cai and D. Hu in {\it Phys. Rev. Lett.}, {\bf 111}(2013), 138701. A consequence of these result is that a stationary weak solution…

Let us consider i.i.d. random variables $\{a_k,b_k\}_{k \geq 1}$ defined on a common probability space $(\Omega, \mathcal F, \mathbb P)$, following a symmetric Rademacher distribution and the associated random trigonometric polynomials…

We consider sequences of polynomials that satisfy differential-difference recurrences. Polynomials satisfying such recurrences frequently appear as generating polynomials of integer valued random variables that are of interest in discrete…

These are notes on discrete mathematics for computer scientists. The presentation is somewhat unconventional. Indeed I begin with a discussion of the basic rules of mathematical reasoning and of the notion of proof formalized in a natural…

Taking $r>0$, let $\pi_{2r}(x)$ denote the number of prime pairs $(p, p+2r)$ with $p\le x$. The prime-pair conjecture of Hardy and Littlewood (1923) asserts that $\pi_{2r}(x)\sim 2C_{2r} {\rm li}_2(x)$ with an explicit constant $C_{2r}>0$.…

We study the anisotropy theorem for Stanley-Reisner rings of simplicial homology spheres in characteristic 2 by Papadakis and Petrotou. This theorem implies the Hard Lefschetz theorem as well as McMullen's g-conjecture for such spheres. Our…

We study the fundamental relationship between stable quotient invariants and the B-model for local CP2 in all genera. Our main result is a direct geometric proof of the holomorphic anomaly equation in the precise form predicted by B-model…

It is possible that fundamental constants may not be constant at all. There is a generally accepted view that one can only talk about variations of dimensionless quantities, such as the fine structure constant $\alpha_{\rm e}\equiv…

Let each of n particles starting at the origin in Z^2 perform simple random walk until reaching a site with no other particles. Lawler, Bramson, and Griffeath proved that the resulting random set A(n) of n occupied sites is (with high…

This note is sketching a simple and natural mathematical construction for explaining the probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics. It employs nonstandard analysis and is based on Feynman's interpretation of the Heisenberg uncertainty…

The ratio of the circumference, C, of a circle to its diameter, D, is a constant number denoted by $\pi$ and is independent of the size of the circle. It is known that $\pi$ is an irrational number and therefore cannot be expressed as a…

A careful analysis of differential renormalization shows that a distinguished choice of renormalization constants allows for a mathematically more fundamental interpretation of the scheme. With this set of a priori fixed integration…
