I propose a few increasingly stronger "superadditivity" conjectures regarding the behavior of Kodaira dimension under morphisms of smooth quasi-projective complex varieties.
In the presence of large extra dimensions, the fundamental Planck scale can be much lower than the apparent four-dimensional Planck scale. In this setup, the weak gravity conjecture implies a much more stringent constraint on the UV cutoff…
Recently, I. Kossovskiy and R. Shafikov have settled the so-called Dimension Conjecture, which characterizes spherical hypersurfaces in ${\mathbb C}^2$ via the dimension of the algebra of infinitesimal automorphisms. In this note, we…
We survey Vojta's higher-dimensional generalizations of the $abc$ conjecture and Szpiro's conjecture as well as recent developments that apply them to various problems in arithmetic dynamics. In particular, the "$abcd$ conjecture" implies a…
In 2005, the second author and Todorov introduced an upper bound on the finitistic dimension of an Artin algebra, now known as the {\phi}-dimension. The {\phi}-dimension conjecture states that this upper bound is always finite, a fact that…
A conjecture due to Y. Han asks whether that Hochschild homology groups of a finite dimensional algebra vanish for sufficiently large degrees would imply that the algebra is of finite global dimension. We investigate this conjecture from…
The quantum modularity conjecture, first introduced by Don Zagier, is a general statement about a relation between $\mathfrak{sl}_2$ quantum invariants of links and 3-manifolds at roots of unity related by a modular transformation. In this…
Finding upper and lower bounds to integrals with respect to copulas is a quite prominent problem in applied probability. In their 2014 paper, Hofer and Iaco showed how particular two dimensional copulas are related to optimal solutions of…
In this paper we establish effective lower bounds on the degrees of the Debarre and Kobayashi conjectures. Then we study a more general conjecture proposed by Diverio-Trapani on the ampleness of jet bundles of general complete intersections…
Based on some combinatorial identities arising from symbolic summation, we extend two supercongruences on partial sums of hypergeometric series, which were originally conjectured by Guo and Schlosser and recently confirmed by Jana and…
We add further notions to Lehmann's list of numerical analogues to the Kodaira dimension of pseudo-effective divisors on smooth complex projective varieties, and show new relations between them. Then we use these notions and relations to…
An old conjecture of Durfee 1978 bounds the ratio of two basic invariants of complex isolated complete intersection surface singularities: the Milnor number and the singularity (or geometric) genus. We give a counterexample for the case of…
The Vol-Det Conjecture, formulated by Champanerkar, Kofman and Purcell, states that there exists a specific inequality connecting the hyperbolic volume of an alternating link and its determinant. Among the classes of links for which this…
Multiples zeta values and alternating multiple zeta values in positive characteristic were introduced by Thakur and Harada as analogues of classical multiple zeta values of Euler and Euler sums. In this paper we determine all linear…
We produce a criterion for open sets in projective $n$-space over a separably closed field to have \'etale cohomological dimension bounded by $2n-3$. We use the criterion to exhibit a scheme for which \'etale cohomological dimension is…
In this paper, we propose a conjectural multiplicity formula for general spherical varieties. For all the cases where a multiplicity formula has been proved, including Whittaker model, Gan-Gross-Prasad model, Ginzburg-Rallis model, Galois…
We generalize an improved Lech bound, due to Huneke, Smirnov, and Validashti, for the Buchsbaum-Rim multiplicity and mixed multiplicity. We reduce the problem to the graded case and then to the polynomial ring case. There we use complete…
We extend Lang's conjectures to the setting of intermediate hyperbolicity and prove two new results motivated by these conjectures. More precisely, we first extend the notion of algebraic hyperbolicity (originally introduced by Demailly) to…
We give examples over arbitrary fields of rings of invariants that are not finitely generated. The group involved can be as small as three copies of the additive group, as in Mukai's examples over the complex numbers. The failure of finite…
In a recent manuscript, D.Vogan conjectures that four canonical globalizations of Harish-Chandra modules commute with certain n-cohomology groups. In this article we prove that Vogan's conjecture holds for one of the globalizations if and…
