In this paper we prove the generalized Kaplansky conjecture for the Jordan algebras of the type $J_n$ in particular for self adjoint $2\times 2$ matrices over $\R$, over $\C$, $\HH$ and $\Oct$. In fact, we prove that the image of…

We show that the Dual Borel Conjecture implies that ${\mathfrak d}> \aleph_1$ and find some topological characterizations of perfectly meager and universally meager sets.

A propositional logic sentence in conjunctive normal form that has clauses of length two (a 2-CNF) can be associated with a multigraph in which the vertices correspond to the variables and edges to clauses. We first show that every such…

A theorem of Bogolyubov states that for every dense set $A$ in $\mathbb{Z}_N$ we may find a large Bohr set inside $A+A-A-A$. In this note, motivated by the work on a quantitative inverse theorem for the Gowers $U^4$ norm, we prove a…

The fractional perfect b-matching polytope of an undirected graph G is the polytope of all assignments of nonnegative real numbers to the edges of G such that the sum of the numbers over all edges incident to any vertex v is a prescribed…

We prove the Box Conjecture for pairs of commuting nilpotent matrices, as formulated by Iarrobino et al [28]. This describes the Jordan type of the dense orbit in the nilpotent commutator of a given nilpotent matrix. Our main tool is the…

We give a new proof of the fact that Milnor-Witt K-theory has geometric transfers. The proof yields to a simplification of Morel's conjecture about transfers on contracted homotopy sheaves.

Suppose ${\bf b}=\{b_n\}_{n=1}^{\infty}$ is a sequence of integers bigger than 1 and ${\bf D}=\{{\mathcal D}_{n}\}_{n=1}^{\infty}$ is a sequence of consecutive digit sets. Let $\mu_{{\bf b},{\bf D}}$ be the Cantor-Moran measure defined by…

We introduce some properties describing dependence in indiscernible sequences: $F_{ind}$ and its dual $F_{Mb}$, the definable Morley property, and $n$-resolvability. Applying these properties, we establish the following results: We show…

The aim of this note is to prove the Mahler measure identity $m(x+x^{-1}+y+y^{-1}+5) = 6 m(x+x^{-1}+y+y^{-1}+1)$ which was conjectured by Boyd. The proof is achieved by proving relationships between regulators of both curves.

We investigate the generalized moment membership problem for matrices, a formulation equivalent to Skolem's problem for linear recurrence sequences. We show decidability for orthogonal, unitary, and real eigenvalue matrices, and…

For $n=0,1,2,\ldots$ let $d_n^{(r)}(x)=\sum_{k=0}^n\binom{x+r+k}k\binom{x-r}{n-k}$. In this paper we illustrate the connection between $\{d_n^{(r)}(x)\}$ and Meixner polynomials. New formulas and recurrence relations for $d_n^{(r)}(x)$ are…

Consider the graph that has as vertices all bitstrings of length $2n+1$ with exactly $n$ or $n+1$ entries equal to 1, and an edge between any two bitstrings that differ in exactly one bit. The well-known middle levels conjecture asserts…

For K a field of characteristic 0 and d any integer number greater than or equal to 2, we prove the invertibility of polynomial endomorphisms of the affine space of dimension d over K of the form F=Id+H, where each coordinate of H is the…

Let G be a totally disconnected, locally compact group admitting a contractive automorphism f. We prove a Jordan-Holder theorem for series of f-stable closed subgroups of G, classify all possible composition factors and deduce consequences…

The aim of this paper is to define and study the constructions of alternating and symmetric (super)powers of metric generalized Jordan (super)pairs. These constructions are obtained by transference via the Faulkner construction. The…

We prove that the set of exceptional $\lambda\in (1/2,1)$ such that the associated Bernoulli convolution is singular has zero Hausdorff dimension, and likewise for biased Bernoulli convolutions, with the exceptional set independent of the…

We give a new proof of the Hansen-Mullen irreducibility conjecture. The proof relies on an application of a (seemingly new) sufficient condition for the existence of elements of degree $n$ in the support of functions on finite fields. This…

We establish the Subgradient Theorem for monotone correspondences -- a monotone correspondence is equal to the subdifferential of a potential if and only if it is conservative, i.e. its integral along a closed path vanishes irrespective of…

We prove the little Grothendieck theorem for any 2-convex noncommutative symmetric space. Let $\M$ be a von Neumann algebra equipped with a normal faithful semifinite trace $\t$, and let $E$ be an r.i. space on $(0, \8)$. Let $E(\M)$ be the…
