We review and formulate results concerning log-concavity and strong-log-concavity in both discrete and continuous settings. We show how preservation of log-concavity and strongly log-concavity on $\mathbb{R}$ under convolution follows from…

In this article, we give proofs on the Arnold Lagrangian intersection conjecture on the cotangent bundles, Arnold-Givental Lagrangian intersection conjecture and the Arnold fixed point conjecture.

An introduction is given to the Littlewood-Richardson rule, and various combinatorial constructions related to it. We present a proof based on tableau switching, dual equivalence, and coplactic operations. We conclude with a section…

In previous work with Mikhail Khovanov and Aaron Lauda we introduced two odd analogues of the Schur functions: one via the combinatorics of Young tableaux (odd Kostka numbers) and one via the odd symmetrization operator. In this paper we…

We first announce our recent result on adjunction and inversion of adjunction. Then we clarify the relationship between our inversion of adjunction and Hacon's inversion of adjunction for log canonical centers of arbitrary codimension.

Many trace inequalities can be expressed either as concavity/convexity theorems or as monotonicity theorems. A classic example is the joint convexity of the quantum relative entropy which is equivalent to the Data Processing Inequality. The…

In this short note we give counterexamples to several results related to extension theorems published recently.

Provides a counterexample to a long standing conjecture of A. Adem regarding the behaviour of the integral cohomology of a p-group.

We expand upon the notion of equivariant log concavity, and make equivariant log concavity conjectures for Orlik--Solomon algebras of matroids, Cordovil algebras of oriented matroids, and Orlik--Terao algebras of hyperplane arrangements. In…

A counterexample is given for the Knaster-like conjecture of Makeev for functions on $S^2$. Some particular cases of another conjecture of Makeev, on inscribing a quadrangle into a smooth simple closed curve, are solved positively.

Let $\lambda$, $\mu$, $\lambda'$, $\mu'$ be partitions. The conjecture of Lam, Postnikov and Pylyavskyy states that, if $\lambda+\mu = \lambda' + \mu'$, and $\min(\lambda_i-\lambda_j, \mu_i-\mu_j) \leq \lambda'_i - \lambda'_j \leq…

We show that the Littlewood-Richardson coefficients are values at 1 of certain parabolic Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials for affine symmetric groups. These q-analogues of Littlewood-Richardson multiplicities coincide with those previously…

In this note we give a counterexample to a conjecture proposed by Ciliberto about special linear systems of P^n through multiple base points.

We show that the large Cartesian powers of any graph have log-concave valencies with respect to a ffxed vertex. We show that the series of valencies of distance regular graphs is log-concave, thus improving on a result of (Taylor,…

We prove a result on the inversion of adjunction for log canonical pairs that generalizes Kawakita's result to log canonical centers of arbitrary codimension.

First, we shall formulate and prove Theorem of Lie-Kolchin type for a cone and derive some algebro-geometric consequences. Next, inspired by a recent result of Dinh and Sibony we pose a conjecture of Tits type for a group of automorphisms…

We give a survey on recent development of the Novikov conjecture and its applications to topological rigidity and non-rigidity. .

In this short note we report on results on a computational search for a counterexample to the strong coincidence conjecture. In particular, we discuss the method used so that further searches can be conducted.

We attempt to prove the Razumov-Stroganov conjecture using a bijectional approach. We have been unsuccessful but we believe the techniques we present can be used to prove the conjecture.

A conjecture of I. Krasikov is proved. Several discrete analogues of classical polynomial inequalities are derived, along with results which allow extensions to a class of transcendental entire functions in the Laguerre-P\'olya class.
