We study rotation $r$-graphs and show that for every $r$-graph $G$ of odd regularity there is a simple rotation $r$-graph $G'$ such that $G$ can be obtained form $G'$ by a finite number of $2$-cut reductions. As a consequence, some hard…

The purpose of this short note is to present a simplified proof of Serre's modularity conjecture using the strong modularity lifting results currently available. This second version includes extra details on definitions and proofs than the…

The paper proves two theorems concerning the set of periods of periodic orbits for maps of graphs that are homotopic to the constant map and such that the vertices form a periodic orbit. The first result is that if $v$ is not a divisor of…

We show that Pinney's equation [2] with a constant coefficient can be reduced to its linear part by a simple change of variables. Also, Pinney's original solution is simplified slightly.

This article presents simple and easy proofs of the Implicit Function Theorem and the Inverse Function Theorem, in this order, both of them on a finite-dimensional Euclidean space, that employ only the Intermediate Value Theorem and the…

I give a proof of the confluence of combinatory strong reduction that does not use the one of lambda-calculus. I also give simple and direct proofs of a standardization theorem for this reduction and the strong normalization of simply typed…

In this paper we give a new proof for an almost isometry theorem in Alexandrov spaces with curvature bounded below.

We give a direct and simple proof of Touchard's continued fraction, provide an extension of it, and transform it into similar expansions related to Motzkin and Schroeder numbers. Another proof is then given that uses only induction. We use…

We expose here a short proof of Cramer's theorem in R based on convex duality.

We prove an analytic KAM-Theorem, which is used in [1], where the differential part of KAM-theory is discussed. Related theorems on analytic KAM-theory exist in the literature (e. g., among many others, [7], [8], [13]). The aim of the…

This paper presents an alternative proof of the celebrated friendship theorem, originally established by Erd\H{o}s, R\'{e}nyi, and S\'{o}s (1966). The proof relies on a closed-form expression for the Lov\'{a}sz $\vartheta$-function of…

We prove a generalization of the Shapiro-Shapiro conjecture on Wronskians of polynomials, allowing the Wronskian to have complex conjugate roots. We decompose the real Schubert cell according to the number of real roots of the Wronski map,…

Here is present short proofing of Jordan's theorem about dividing of flat on two disjoint subsets by one closed curve.

In this note, we prove a theorem covering Chartrand, Kaigars, and Lick's theorem in [Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 32 (1972), 63-68]. As an application, we give a simpler proof of theorem proved by Mader [J. Graph Theory 65 (2010), 61-69. (Theorem…

The topological Tverberg theorem claims that for any continuous map of the (q-1)(d+1)-simplex to R^d there are q disjoint faces such that their images have a non-empty intersection. This has been proved for affine maps, and if $q$ is a…

A proof for a conjecture by Shadrin and Zvonkine, relating the entries of a matrix arising in the study of Hurwitz numbers to a certain sequence of rational numbers, is given. The main tools used are iteration matrices of formal power…

The famous Sidorenko's conjecture asserts that for every bipartite graph $H$, the number of homomorphisms from $H$ to a graph $G$ with given edge density is minimized when $G$ is pseudorandom. We prove that for any graph $H$, a graph…

We provide a proof of Wilson's Theorem and Wolstenholme's Theorem based on a direct approach by Lagrange requiring only basic properties of the primes and the Binomial theorem. The goal is to show how similar the two theorems are by…

The well-known 1-2-3 Conjecture asserts that the edges of every graph without isolated edges can be weighted with $1$, $2$ and $3$ so that adjacent vertices receive distinct weighted degrees. This is open in general, while it is known to be…

We generalize Iskovskih's theorem about surfaces without irregularity and bigenus from the smooth case to regular surfaces over arbitrary fields, with special focus on the case of imperfect fields. This includes surfaces that are…
