We formulate a conjecture which generalizes Darmon's "refined class number formula". We discuss relations between our conjecture and the equivariant leading term conjecture of Burns. As an application, we give another proof of the "except…
Lothar Collatz had proposed in 1937 a conjecture in number theory called Collatz conjecture. Till today there is no evidence of proving or disproving the conjecture. In this paper, we propose an algorithmic approach for verification of the…
In this short survey article, we aim to provide an up to date information on the progress made towards Schurs exponent conjecture and related conjectures. We also mention the connection between Schurs exponent conjecture and Noether's…
Erd\H{o}s conjectured that 1, 4, and 256 are the only powers of two whose ternary representations consist solely of 0s and 1s. Sloane conjectured that, except for $\{2^0,2^1,2^2,2^3,2^4,2^{15}\}$, every other power of two has at least one 0…
We prove a conjecture on Rubin-Stark elements, which was recently proposed by the author, and also by Mazur and Rubin, in a special case.
The excitation of the axial quasi-normal modes of a relativistic star by scattered particles is studied by evolving the time dependent perturbation equations. This work is the first step towards the understanding of more complicated…
It is known that the Scholz conjecture on addition chains is true for all integers $n$ with $\ell(2n) = \ell(n)+1$. There exists infinitely many integers with $\ell(2n) \leq \ell(n)$ and we don't know if the conjecture still holds for them.…
In 1882 J.J. Sylvester already proved, that the number of different ways to partition a positive integer into consecutive positive integers exactly equals the number of odd divisors of that integer (see [1]). We will now develop an…
In this paper, we exploit the r-Stirling numbers of both kinds in order to give explicit formulae for the values of the high order Bernoulli numbers and polynomials of both kinds at integers. We give also some identities linked the…
In this article we study extensions of Steiner triple systems by means of the associated Steiner loops. We recognize that the set of Veblen points of a Steiner triple system corresponds to the center of the Steiner loop. We investigate…
We answer a challenge posed in (Math. Ann. 363 (2015), no. 1-2, 423-454) by proving a version of Weil's converse theorem that assumes a functional equation for character twists but allows their root numbers to vary arbitrarily.
We examine the extent to which random samplings from the values of a random set, determine the distribution of the random set itself. We also comment on how, given the statistics of the sampling, to detect the distribution. Several methods…
The Weil Conjectures are applied to the Hessenberg Varieties to obtain interesting information about the combinatorics of descents in the symmetric group. Combining this with elementary linear algebra leads to elegant proofs of some…
A sequence is a fractal sequence if it contains itself as a proper subsequence. (The self-containment property resembles that of visual fractals) A doubly fractal sequence of integers is defined by operations called upper trimming and lower…
We systematically investigate ways to twist a real spectral triple via an algebra automorphism and in particular, we naturally define a twisted partner for any real graded spectral triple. Among other things we investigate consequences of…
This article gives a formula for associated Stirling numbers of the second kind based on the moment of a sum of independent random variables having a beta distribution. From this formula we deduce, using probabilistic approaches, lower and…
Following an idea of Rowland we give a conjectural way to generate increasing sequences of primes using algorithms involving the gcd. These algorithms seem not so useless for searching primes since it appears we found sometime primes much…
In this paper we study a natural generalization of the Stern-Brocot sequences which comes from the introduction of weighted mediants. We focus our attention on the case $k = 3$, in which $(2a + c)/(2b + d)$ and $(a + 2c)/(b + 2d)$ are the…
We establish the multiplicity conjecture of Herzog, Huneke, and Srinivasan about the multiplicity of graded Cohen-Macaulay algebras over a field, for codimension two algebras and for Gorenstein algebras of codimension three. In fact, we…
The Collatz and $abc$ conjectures, both well known and thoroughly studied, appear to be largely unrelated at first sight. We show that assuming the $abc$ conjecture true is helpful to improve the lower bound of integers initiating a…
