The solitary wave problem at the free surface of a two-dimensional, infinitely-deep and irrotational flow of water, under the influence of gravity, is formulated as a nonlinear pseudodifferential equation. A Pohozaev identity is used to…

We revisit the proof provided by Vafa and Witten that there is no spontaneous parity breaking in theories with vector-like fermions. We argue that the various criticisms that have been leveled at the original proof do not invalidate it.

It is shown that the density of states (DOS) proportional to the excitation energy, the so-called polar like DOS, can arise in the odd-parity states with the superconducting gap vanishing at points even if the spin-orbit interaction for…

Let $Q_{p,q}(t)\in\mathbb{Z}[t]$ be Sharipov's even monic degree-$10$ second cuboid polynomial depending on coprime integers $p\neq q>0$. Writing $Q_{p,q}(t)$ as a quintic in $t^{2}$ produces an associated monic quintic polynomial. After…

Let $Q_{n,d}$ denote the random combinatorial matrix whose rows are independent of one another and such that each row is sampled uniformly at random from the subset of vectors in $\{0,1\}^n$ having precisely $d$ entries equal to $1$. We…

We settle three problems from the literature on stable and real zero polynomials and their connection to matroid theory. We disprove the weak real zero amalgamation conjecture by Schweighofer and the second author. We disprove a conjecture…

In this paper, we classify the $m$-ovoids of finite classical polar spaces that admit a transitive automorphism group acting irreducibly on the ambient vector space. In particular, we obtain several new infinite families of transitive…

In this paper we prove that there cannot exist a perfect Euler box with a semiprime side. We first display the proof, which uses nothing more than elementary number theory. Due to the elementary nature of this proof, it is possible that…

In this note is given an algebraic solution to the problem 1997-6 proposed by D. A. Panov in the list of Arnold's problems \cite{Arnld2b}. In particular, it is shown that there does not exist a real polynomial function $f$ on the real…

We prove that higher dimensional Einstein spacetimes which possess a geodesic, non-degenerate double Weyl aligned null direction (WAND) $\ell$ must additionally possess a second double WAND (thus being of type D) if either: (a) the Weyl…

We prove that the Jacobian conjecture is false if and only if there exists a solution to a certain system of polynomial equations. We analyse the solution set of this system. In particular we prove that it is zero dimensional.

For a recent new numerical method for computing so-called robust Pad\'e approximants through SVD techniques, the authors gave numerical evidence that such approximants are insensitive to perturbations in the data, and do not have so-called…

We establish a homology relation for the Deligne-Mumford moduli spaces of real curves which lifts to a WDVV-type relation for real Gromov-Witten invariants of real symplectic manifolds; we also obtain a vanishing theorem for these…

It is surmised that the algebra of the Pauli operators on the Hilbert space of N-qubits is embodied in the geometry of the symplectic polar space of rank N and order two, W_{2N - 1}(2). The operators (discarding the identity) answer to the…

We show that for two afii varieties over an arbitrary field of characteristic zero, there is no general form of an algorithm for checking the presence of an embedding of one algebraic variety in another. Moreover, we establish this for…

We prove that there do not exist non-Desarguesian symplectic semifield spreads of PG$(5,q^2)$, $q\geq 2^{14}$ even, whose associated semifield has center containing $\mathbb{F}_q$, by proving that the only $\mathbb{F}_q$-linear set of rank…

In [AG2] we explored the question what symmetric pairs are Gelfand pairs. We introduced the notion of regular symmetric pair and conjectured that all symmetric pairs are regular. This conjecture would imply that many symmetric pairs are…

This paper proves a 2017 conjecture of De Loera, La Haye, Oliveros, and Rold\'an-Pensado that the "prime grid" $\big\{(p,q) \in \mathbb{Z}^2 : \text{$p$ and $q$ are prime}\big\} \subseteq \mathbb{R}^2$ contains empty polygons with…

Let Q be a nondegenerate quadratic form, and L is a nonzero linear form of dimension d>3. As a generalization of the Oppenheim conjecture, we prove that the set {(Q(x),L(x)):x\in Z^d} is dense in R^2 provided that Q and L satisfy some…

We prove the existence and uniqueness of stationary spherically symmetric positive solutions for the Schr\"{o}dinger-Newton model in any space dimension $d$. Our result is based on an analysis of the corresponding system of second order…
