We give a proof of the Acyclicity Conjecture stated by Broussous and Schneider in [BrouSch2017]. As a consequence, we obtain an exact resolution of every admissible representation on each Bernstein block of ${\rm GL}(N)$ associated to a…
We study the perimeter inequality under circular symmetrisation, and we provide a full geometric characterisation of equality cases. A careful inspection of the proof shows that a similar characterisation holds true also for the perimeter…
We prove a conjecture by D. Zeilberger on the determinant of a certain matrix and relate it to a problem of non-existence of 1-cycles in this note.
We show that there can be no algorithm to decide whether infinite recursively described acyclic aspherical 2-complexes are contractible. We construct such a complex that is contractible if and only if the Collatz conjecture holds.
A famous conjecture of Hopf is that the product of the two-dimensional sphere with itself does not admit a Riemannian metric with positive sectional curvature. More generally, one may conjecture that this holds for any nontrivial product.…
It was conjectured that multiplicity of a singularity is bi-Lipschitz invariant. We disprove this conjecture, constructing examples of bi-Lipschitz equivalent complex algebraic singularities with different values of multiplicity.
We construct a counterexample to a conjectured inequality L<2D, relating the diameter D and the least length L of a nontrivial closed geodesic, for a Riemannian metric on the 2-sphere. The construction relies on Guillemin's theorem…
In this paper, we prove that Gorenstein projective conjecture is left and right symmetric and the co-homology vanishing condition can not be reduced in general. Moreover, the Gorenstein projective conjecture is proved to be true for…
The well-known Zalcman conjecture, which implies the Bieberbach conjecture, states that the coefficients of univalent functions $f(z) = z + \sum\limits_2^{\infty} a_n z^n$ on the unit disk satisfy $|a_n^2 - a_{2n-1}| \le (n-1)^2$ for all $n…
We construct Zollfrei Lorentzian metrics on every nontrivial orientable circle bundle over a orientable closed surface. Further we prove a weaker version of Guillemin's conjecture assuming global hyperbolicity of the universal cover.
We collect here various conjectures on congruences made by the author in a series of papers, some of which involve binary quadratic forms and other advanced theories. Part A consists of 100 unsolved conjectures of the author while…
The cyclic insertion conjecture of Borwein, Bradley, Broadhurst and Lison\v{e}k states that by inserting all cyclic permutations of some initial blocks of 2's into the multiple zeta value $ \zeta(1,3,\ldots,1,3) $ and summing, one obtains…
In the preprint of 1993 the author formulated some conjectures on monotonicity of ratios for exponential series remainders. They are equivalent to conjectures on monotonicity of a ratio of Kummer hypergeometric functions and presumably not…
A method for proving symmetrization inequalities for some elliptic p.d.e.'s on manifolds equipped with appropriate isoperimetric inequalities is outlined. The method is based on a modification of an approach of Baernstein. The question of…
We investigate a conjecture of Robert Coleman concerning the module of circular distributions.
In his book Topics in Analytic Number Theory, Rademacher considered the generating function of partitions into at most $N$ parts, and conjectured certain limits for the coefficients of its partial fraction decomposition. We carry out an…
Poincare had conjectured that the fact that closed loops could be shrunk to points on a surface topologically equivalent to the surface of a sphere can be generalised to three (and more) dimensions. After nearly a century the conjecture has…
Brou\'{e}'s Abelian Defect Conjecture predicts interesting derived equivalences between derived categories of modular representations of finite groups. We investigate a generalization of Brou\'{e}'s Conjecture to ring spectrum coefficients…
On the symmetrized bidisc G2 with the Bergman metric, the holomorphic sectional curvature is negatively pinched and the holomorphic bisectional curvature is not. The consequences in invariant metrics are provided.
Two conjectures recently proposed by one of the authors are disproved
