The causal set theory d'Alembertian has rational coefficients for which alternating expressions are known. Here, a combinatorial interpretation of these numbers is given.
In this short note we prove a result that is an extension of an old Olympiad problem and is a very simple variant of the question of finding an approximation for $k$, where it is a nonzero constant and it satisfies the equation $a^k+b^k=c$,…
In this paper, we give a form of refined Roth's theorem. As an application, we prove a special case of the $abc$-conjecture.
In this paper, we give a simple counter example to the famous Hodge conjecture.
Several recent results bring into focus the superintuitionistic nature of most notions of proof-theoretic validity, but little work has been done evaluating the consequences of these results. Proof-theoretic validity claims to offer a…
This note is concerned with a formal analysis of the problem of non-monotonic reasoning in intelligent systems, especially when the uncertainty is taken into account in a quantitative way. A firm connection between logic and probability is…
The note complements topological aspects of the theory of chiral algebras.
Expectation is a central notion in probability theory. The notion of expectation also makes sense for other notions of uncertainty. We introduce a propositional logic for reasoning about expectation, where the semantics depends on the…
Consider an elliptic curve, defined over the rational numbers, and embedded in projective space. The rational points on the curve are viewed as integer vectors with coprime coordinates. What can be said about a rational point if a bound is…
This paper is the second in a series of planned papers which provide first bijective proofs of alternating sign matrix results. Based on the main result from the first paper, we construct a bijective proof of the enumeration formula for…
This paper investigates a Tate algebra version of the Jacobian conjecture, referred to as the Tate-Jacobian conjecture, for commutative rings $R$ equipped with an $I$-adic topology. We show that if the $I$-adic topology on $R$ is Hausdorff…
We point out that the recursive formula that appears in Erickson's presentation "Fusible Numbers" is incorrect, and pose an alternate conjecture about the structure of fusible numbers. Although we are unable to solve the conjecture, we…
In this note some philosophical thoughts and observations about mathematics are expressed, arranged as challenges to some common claims.
We consider a variant of the ABC Conjecture, attempting to count the number of solutions to $A+B+C=0$, in relatively prime integers $A,B,C$ each of absolute value less than $N$ with $r(A)<|A|^a, r(B)<|B|^b, r(C)<|C|^c.$ The ABC Conjecture…
The main aim of this paper is to promote a certain style of doing coinductive proofs, similar to inductive proofs as commonly done by mathematicians. For this purpose, we provide a reasonably direct justification for coinductive proofs…
The $abc$ conjecture predicts a highly non trivial upper bound for the height of an algebraic point in terms of its discriminant and its intersection with a fixed divisor of the projective line counted without multiplicity. We describe the…
Let $\alpha=0.a_1a_2a_3\ldots$ be an irrational number in base $b>1$, where $0\leq a_i<b$. The number $\alpha \in (0,1)$ is a \textit{normal number} if every block $(a_{n+1}a_{n+2}\ldots a_{n+k})$ of $k$ digits occurs with probability…
A popular scientific contribution should not contradict any established facts and ought to be understandable. I complied with both these requirements and am offering a sufficiently full introduction to probability theory. Furthermore, I…
We pose thirty conjectures on arithmetical sequences, most of which are about monotonicity of sequences of the form $(\root n\of{a_n})_{n\ge 1}$ or the form $(\root{n+1}\of{a_{n+1}}/\root n\of{a_n})_{n\ge1}$, where $(a_n)_{n\ge 1}$ is a…
We solve a motivic version of the Adams conjecture with the exponential characteristic of the base field inverted. In the way of the proof we obtain a motivic version of mod k Dold theorem and give a motivic version of Brown's trick…
