It is conjectured that for any fixed relatively prime positive integers $a,b$ and $c$ all greater than 1 there is at most one solution to the equation $a^x+b^y=c^z$ in positive integers $x,y$ and $z$, except for specific cases. We develop…
We state and prove a new closure theorem closely related to the classical closure theorems of Poncelet and Steiner. Along the way, we establish a number of theorems concerning conic sections.
In this article we explain the Buium--Coleman approach to the Manin--Mumford conjecture, and outline its generalisations. As an illustration, we give a $p$-adic proof of a theorem of Bombieri, Masser and Zannier on curves in tori.
We establish an explicit link between depth-3 formulas and one-sided approximation by depth-2 formulas, which were previously studied independently. Specifically, we show that the minimum size of depth-3 formulas is (up to a factor of n)…
The equivariant Tamagawa number conjecture (hereinafter called the eTNC) predicts close relationships between algebraic and analytic aspects of motives. In this paper, we prove a lot of new cases of the minus component of the eTNC for…
A conjecture of Armstrong states that if $\gcd (a, b) = 1$, then the average size of an $(a, b)$-core partition is $(a - 1)(b - 1)(a + b + 1) / 24$. Recently, Stanley and Zanello used a recursive argument to verify this conjecture when $a =…
In this article we aim to investigate the Hausdorff dimension of the set of points $x \in [0,1)$ such that for any $r\in\mathbb{N},$ \begin{align*} a_{n+1}(x)a_{n+2}(x)\cdots a_{n+r}(x)\geq e^{\tau(x)(h(x)+\cdots+h(T^{n-1}(x)))} {align*}…
The generalized volume conjecture relates asymptotic behavior of the colored Jones polynomials to objects naturally defined on an algebraic curve, the zero locus of the A-polynomial $A(x,y)$. Another "family version" of the volume…
In this paper, we present a second partial solution for the problem of cardinality calculation of the set of fractals for its subcategory of the random virtual ones. Consistent with the deterministic case, we show that for the given…
We study the triple convolution sum of the generalised divisor functions $$\sum_{n\leq x} d_k(n+h)d_l(n)d_m(n-h),$$ where $h \le x^{1-\epsilon}$ for any $\epsilon>0$ and $d_k(n)$ denotes the generalised divisor function which counts the…
This paper gives an algebraic conjecture which is shown to be equivalent to Thurston's Geometrization Conjecture for closed, orientable 3-manifolds. It generalizes the Stallings-Jaco theorem which established a similar result for the…
The weak gravity conjecture suggests that, in a self-consistent theory of quantum gravity, the strength of gravity is bounded from above by the strengths of the various gauge forces in the theory. In particular, this intriguing conjecture…
Let f be a non-constant meromorphic function and a = a(z) be a small function of f. Under certain essential conditions, we obtained similar type conclusion of Bruck Conjecture, when f and its differential polynomial P[f] shares a with…
In this paper, we show that for any sequence ${\bf a}=(a_n)_{n\in \Z}\in \{1,\ldots,k\}^\mathbb{Z}$ and any $\epsilon>0$, there exists a Toeplitz sequence ${\bf b}=(b_n)_{n\in \Z}\in \{1,\ldots,k\}^\mathbb{Z}$ such that the entropy $h({\bf…
Nevanlinna's second main theorem is a far-reaching generalisation of Picard's Theorem concerning the value distribution of an arbitrary meromorphic function f. The theorem takes the form of an inequality containing a ramification term in…
We show a new, elementary and geometric proof of the classical Alexandrov theorem about the second order differentiability of convex functions. We also show new proofs of recent results about Lusin approximation of convex functions and…
We obtain asymptotics for sums of the form $$ \sum_{n=1}^P e(\alpha_kn^k + \alpha_1n), $$ involving lower order main terms. As an application, we show that for almost all $\alpha_2 \in [0,1)$ one has $$ \sup_{\alpha_1 \in [0,1)} \Big|…
In the large rank limit, for any nonexceptional affine algebra, the graded branching multiplicities known as one-dimensional sums, are conjectured to have a simple relationship with those of type A, which are known as generalized Kostka…
We calculate the triple correlations for the truncated divisor sum $\lambda_{R}(n)$. The $\lambda_{R}(n)$'s behave over certain averages just as the prime counting von Mangoldt function $\Lambda(n)$ does or is conjectured to do. We also…
We derive heuristically the approximate formula for the difference $\sqrt{p_{n+1}} - \sqrt{p_n}$, where $p_n$ is the n-th prime. We find perfect agreement between this formula and the available data from the list of maximal gaps between…
