Nous montrons qu'un raffinement du th\'eor\`eme de Siegel sur les points entiers de courbes alg\'ebriques impliquerait la conjecture abc de Masser-Oesterl\'e. Nous formulons une hypoth\`ese "Siegel uniforme" qui est une majoration de la…
We show that the $abc$ conjecture of Masser-Oesterl\'{e}-Szpiro for number fields implies that there are infinitely many non-Fibonacci-Wieferich primes. We also provide a new heuristic for the number of such primes beneath a certain value.
A Hausdorff measure version of the Duffin-Schaeffer conjecture in metric number theory is introduced and discussed. The general conjecture is established modulo the original conjecture. The key result is a Mass Transference Principle which…
The Duffin-Schaeffer conjecture is a central open problem in metric number theory. Let $\psi~\mathbb{N} \mapsto \mathbb{R}$ be a non-negative function, and set $\mathcal{E}_n :=\bigcup \left( \frac{a - \psi(n)}{n},\frac{a+\psi(n)}{n}…
The classical $abc$ theorem for polynomials (often called Mason's theorem) deals with nontrivial polynomial solutions to the equation $a+b=c$. It provides a lower bound for the number of distinct zeros of the polynomial $abc$ in terms of…
Certain estimates involving the derivative $f\mapsto f'$ of a meromorphic function play key roles in the construction and applications of classical Nevanlinna theory. The purpose of this study is to extend the usual Nevanlinna theory to a…
Using as the working hypothesis of an evaluation of the difference between primes $p_{n+1} - p_n = O(\sqrt{p_n})$ we represent in detail the proofs of Legendre's and Oppermann's conjectures.
Recent progress building on the groundbreaking work of Mabillard and Wagner has shown that there are important differences between the affine and continuous theory for Tverberg-type results. These results aim to describe the intersection…
In this paper we give an alternative, purely Conley index based proof of the Arnold conjecture in $\mathbb C\mathbb P^n$ asserting that a Hamiltonian diffeomorphism of $\mathbb C\mathbb P^n$ endowed with the Fubini-Study metric has at least…
The abc conjecture is one of the most famous unsolved problems in number theory. The conjecture claims for each real $\epsilon > 0$ that there are only a finite number of coprime positive integer solutions to the equation $a+b = c$ with $c…
In this paper we establish a general form of the Mass Transference Principle for systems of linear forms conjectured in [1]. We also present a number of applications of this result to problems in Diophantine approximation. These include a…
In an earlier paper (joint with Min Ru), we proved a result on diophantine approximation to Cartier divisors, extending a 2011 result of P. Autissier. This was recently extended to certain closed subschemes (in place of divisors) by Ru and…
The paper proves that a bound on the averaged Jones' square function of a measure implies an upper bound on the measure. Various types of assumptions on the measure are considered. The theorem is a generalization of a result due to A. Naber…
Cusick's conjecture on the binary sum of digits $s(n)$ of a nonnegative integer $n$ states the following: for all nonnegative integers $t$ we have \[ c_t=\lim_{N\rightarrow\infty}\frac 1N\left\lvert\{n<N:s(n+t)\geq s(n)\}\right\rvert>1/2.…
This paper is motivated by two problems in the theory of Diophantine approximation, namely, Davenport's problem regarding badly approximable points on submanifolds of a Euclidean space and Schmidt's problem regarding the intersections of…
In our previous work, we introduced the Generalised Nonvanishing Conjecture, which generalises several central conjectures in algebraic geometry. In this paper, we derive some surprising nonvanishing results for pluricanonical bundles which…
In the late 1990's, Bremner conjectured that long arithmetic progressions among the $x$-coordinates of rational points of an elliptic curve $E$ over $\mathbb{Q}$ should force the rank of $E$ to be large. This conjecture (and a broad…
The purpose of this paper is to present some further applications of the general decoupling theory from [B-D1, 2] to certain diophantine issues. In particular, we concider mean value estimates relevant to the Bombieri-Iwaniec approach to…
Recently a new type of central limit theorem for belief functions was given in Epstein et al. [9]. In this paper, we generalize the central limit theorem in Epstein et al. [9] to accommodate general bounded random variables. These results…
We reduce the principal problem of Additive Number Theory of whether an infinite sequence of integers constitutes a finite basis for the integers to a Diophantine problem involving the difference set of the sequence, by proving a formula…
