L. Weinstein's brilliant short proof of de Branges's Theorem is made even shorter by using computer algebra.

Recently, Todorov and Wilf independently realized that de Branges' original proof of the Bieberbach and Milin conjectures and the proof that was later given by Weinstein deal with the same special function system that de Branges had…

This paper shows an elementary and direct proof of the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, via Bolzano-Weierstrass Theorem on Minima and the Binomial Formula, that avoids: any root extraction other than the one used to define the modulus…

The purpose of this paper is to make an introduction to univalent function theory for readers of any level, assuming only foundational knowledge in real and complex analysis. In particular, we state and proof (with details) important…

In his 1984 proof of the Bieberbach and Milin conjectures de Branges used a positivity result of special functions which follows from an identity about Jacobi polynomial sums that was found by Askey and Gasper in 1973, published in 1976. In…

We give a short and direct proof of the $\lambda_g$-Conjecture. The approach is through the Ekedahl-Lando-Shapiro-Vainshtein theorem, which establishes the ``polynomiality'' of Hurwitz numbers, from which we pick off the lowest degree…

This expository note presents a constructive proof of Wigner's theorem using only a few basic facts about Hilbert spaces, such as the existence of orthonormal bases and the Fourier decomposition of a vector. Our proof is based on a proof by…

Many proofs of the fundamental theorem of algebra rely on the fact that the minimum of the modulus of a complex polynomial over the complex plane is attained at some complex number. The proof then follows by arguing the minimum value is…

The Schinzel hypothesis is a famous conjectural statement about primes in value sets of polynomials, which generalizes the Dirichlet theorem about primes in an arithmetic progression. We consider the situation that the ring of integers is…

Schinzel's Hypothesis H is a general conjecture in number theory on prime values of polynomials that generalizes, e.g., the twin prime conjecture and Dirichlet's theorem on primes in arithmetic progression. We prove an arithmetic analog of…

After the language of module and theirs morphisms, this short course presents matricial calculus and determinants in a commutative ring as appliction of ``remarquable identities'' in the ring of polynomials with integer coefficients with…

In this paper we provide a full account of the Weil conjectures including Deligne's proof of the conjecture about the eigenvalues of the Frobenius endomorphism. Section 1 is an introduction into the subject. Our exposition heavily relies on…

This paper presents an elementary and direct proof of the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, via Bolzano-Weierstrass Theorem on Minima, that avoids: every root extraction, angle, non-algebraic functions, differentiation, integration, series…

Extension conjecture states that if a simple module over an artin algebra has nonzero first self-extension group then it has nonzero i-th self-extension group for infinitely many positive integers i. It is shown by recollement of…

In this survey paper we present recent results obtained by Khare, Wintenberger and the author that have led to a proof of Serre's conjecture, such as existence of compatible families, modular upper bounds for universal deformation rings and…

In this paper we present a surprisingly short proof of Minkowski's second theorem. The author hopes there is no mistake in it, though the argument seems to be too plain to contain one. Also, we apply the main construction of the proof to…

We explain in this letter how using a recent Modularity Lifting Theorem proved by Lue Pan the proofs of Serre's Modularity Conjecture over $\mathbb{Q}$ given by Khare-Wintenberger and the author can be greatly simplified. The main…

Herbrand's Theorem is a fundamental result in mathematical logic which provides a reduction of first-order formulas satisfied by a universal class to formulas free of existential quantifiers. In this work, a simpler and self-contained…

We present an elementary proof of the fundamental theorem of algebra, following Cauchy's version but avoiding his use of circular functions. It is written in the same spirit as Littlewood's proof of 1941, but reduces it to more elementary…

A classical theorem of d'Alembert states that if a polynomial P(x) with real coefficients has a non-real root x=a+ib, then it also has a root x=a-ib. We give a short and elementary inductive proof that avoids any properties of the complex…
