We prove the Ribenboim hypothesis, which states that if, starting from some integer $N$, consecutive prime numbers $p_ {n}$, $p_{n+1}$ satisfy the inequality $\sqrt {p_ {n+1}}-\sqrt{p_{n}} <1$, then the Landau problem # 4 (1912) has a…

It is well known and readily seen that the maximum of $n$ independent and uniformly on $[0,1]$ distributed random variables, suitably standardised, converges in total variation distance, as $n$ increases, to the standard negative…

It was presented by Cabello and Nakamura [A. Cabello, Phys. Rev. Lett. 90, 190401 (2003)], that the Kochen-Specker theorem applies to two dimensions if one uses Positive Operator-Valued Measures. We show that contextuality in their models…

This paper introduces a new measure-conjugacy invariant for actions of free groups. Using this invariant, it is shown that two Bernoulli shifts over a finitely generated free group are measurably conjugate if and only if their base measures…

In this paper, we introduce the notion of the universe, induced communities, and cells with their corresponding spots. Using this language, we formulate and prove the union close set conjecture by showing that for any finite universe…

Let $M_n^{(k)}$ denote the $k$th largest maximum of a sample $(X_1,X_2,...,X_n)$ from parent $X$ with continuous distribution. Assume there exist normalizing constants $a_n>0$, $b_n\in \mathbb{R}$ and a nondegenerate distribution $G$ such…

Let $\rho=(\frac{p}{q})^{\frac{1}{r}}<1$ for some $p,q,r\in\mathbb{N}$ with $(p,q)=1$ and $\mathcal{D}_{n}=\{0,1,\cdot\cdot\cdot,N_{n}-1\}$, where $N_{n}$ is prime for all $n\in\mathbb{N}$, and denote…

An error in the proof of Lemma 2 (ii) in [I. Werner, Math. Proc. Camb. Phil. Soc. 140(2) 333-347 (2006)], which claims the absolute continuity of dynamically defined measures (DDM), is identified. This undermines the assertion of the…

Two measurements of $A$ and $B$ are carried out one after the other. The measurements of $A$ are controlled by the parameter $\lambda_A$ in the Kraus operator, where the measurements of $B$ are controlled by the parameter $\lambda_B$.…

Motivated by recent experiments realizing correlated phenomena and superconductivity in 2D van der Waals devices, we consider the general problem of whether correlation effects may be enhanced by modifying band structure while keeping a…

We confirm a conjecture of Sun on the expansions of $n(m^k-1)/(m-1)$ in base $m$.

Denote by $M(P)$ the configuration space of a planar polygonal linkage, that is, the space of all possible planar configurations modulo congruences, including configurations with self-intersections. A particular interest attracts its subset…

We provide a coupling proof of Doob's theorem which says that the transition probabilities of a regular Markov process which has an invariant probability measure $\mu$ converge to $\mu$ in the total variation distance. In addition we show…

Let $\Om$ be a Borel subset of $S^\Bbb N$ where $S$ is countable. A measure is called exchangeable on $\Om$, if it is supported on $\Om$ and is invariant under every Borel automorphism of $\Om$ which permutes at most finitely many…

Let X be a Fano variety of dimension n, pseudoindex i_X and Picard number \rho_X. A generalization of a conjecture of Mukai says that \rho_X(i_X-1)\le n. We prove that the conjecture holds if: a) X has pseudoindex i_X \ge \frac{n+3}{3} and…

The main result of this article is: THEOREM. Every homogeneous locally conical connected separable metric space that is not a $1$-manifold is strongly $n$-homogeneous for each $n \geq 2$ and countable dense homogeneous. Furthermore,…

In accordance with the Bing-Borsuk conjecture, we show that if X is an n-dimensional homogeneous metric ANR compactum and x\in X, then there is a local basis at x consisting of connected open sets U such that the cohomological properties of…

We consider a one dimensional interacting particle system which describes the effective interface dynamics of the two dimensional Toom model at low temperature and noise. We prove a number of basic properties of this model. First we…

We introduce a model of epidemics among moving particles on any locally finite graph. At any time, each vertex is empty, occupied by a healthy particle, or occupied by an infected particle. Infected particles recover at rate $1$ and…

Let $P(x)$ be a polynomial of degree $m$, with nonnegative and non-decreasing coefficients. We settle the conjecture that for any positive real number $d$, the coefficients of $P(x+d)$ form a unimodal sequence, of which the special case $d$…
