The Union Closed Sets Conjecture states that in every finite, nontrivial set family closed under taking unions there is an element contained in at least half of all the sets of the family. We investigate two new directions with respect to…

We present a new proof of the Joints Theorem without taking derivatives. Then we generalize the proof to prove the Multijoints Conjecture and Carbery's generalization. All results are in any dimension over an arbitrary field.

In this note, we exhibit a method to prove the Baum-Connes conjecture (with coefficients) for extensions with finite quotients of certain groups which already satisfy the Baum-Connes conjecture. Interesting examples to which this method…

We conjecture an upper bound on the growth of the Yokota invariant of polyhedral graphs, extending a previous result on the growth of the $6j$-symbol. Using Barrett's Fourier transform we are able to prove this conjecture in a large family…

The study of the additive volume of sets can be reduced to the case of one-dimensional sets. The exact values of the volume of extremal sets are given as a conjecture.

We prove a conjecture of Meszaros and Morales on the volume of a flow polytope. Independently from our work, Zeilberger sketched a proof of their conjecture. In fact, our proof is the same as Zeilberger's proof. The purpose of this note is…

We prove a metrical result on a family of conjectures related to the Littlewood conjecture, namely the original Littlewood conjecture, the mixed Littlewood conjecture of de Mathan and Teuli\'e and a hybrid between a conjecture of Cassels…

The Kashaev-Murakami-Murakami Volume Conjecture connects the hyperbolic volume of a knot complement to the asymptotics of certain evaluations of the colored Jones polynomials of the knot. We introduce a closely related conjecture for…

In this note we examine the volume of the convex hull of two congruent copies of a convex body in Euclidean $n$-space, under some subsets of the isometry group of the space. We prove inequalities for this volume if the two bodies are…

The purpose of this paper is to prove that certain limits of polynomial rings are themselves polynomial rings, and show how this observation can be used to deduce some interesting results in commutative algebra. In particular, we give two…

The purpose of this note is to give an affirmative answer to a conjecture appearing in [Integral Transforms Spec. Funct. 26 (2015) 90-95].

We prove the Farrell-Jones Conjecture for (non-connective) $A$-theory with coefficients and finite wreath products for hyperbolic groups, CAT(0)-groups, cocompact lattices in almost connected Lie groups and fundamental groups of manifolds…

The Hodge conjecture is shown to be equivalent to a question about the homology of very ample divisors with ordinary double point singularities. The infinitesimal version of the result is also discussed.

The existence of a "Plastikstufe" for a contact structure implies the Weinstein conjecture for all supporting contact forms.

Kervaire conjecture that the weight of the free product of every non-trivial group and the infinite cyclic group is not one is confirmed by confirming Conjecture Z of a knot exterior.

In this paper, the volume conjecture for double twist knots are proved. The main tool is the complexified tetrahedron and the associated $\mathrm{SL}(2, \mathbb{C})$ representation of the fundamental group. A complexified tetrahedron is a…

In the note, we give a proof, based on the Generalized Thom Conjecture, of Bennequin's Theorem on upper bound for the Euler number of a link which is considered as a closed braid. A lower bound for the Euler number of a link is also given.

Motivated by Lang-Vojta's conjectures on hyperbolic varieties, we prove a new version of the Shafarevich conjecture in which we establish the finiteness of pointed families of polarized varieties. We then give an arithmetic application to…

We show that the volumes of certain hyperbolic A-adequate links can be bounded (above and) below in terms of two diagrammatic quantities: the twist number and the number of certain alternating tangles in an A-adequate diagram. We then…

We compute the Bonahon-Wong-Yang quantum invariant for self-diffeomorphisms of the four-puncture sphere explicitly, based on the representation theory of the Checkov-Fock algebra. As an application of the computation, we verify the volume…
