This is a series of two papers in which we solve the Clemens conjecture: there are only finitely many smooth rational curves of each degree in a generic quintic threefold. In this first paper, we deal with a family of smooth Calabi-Yau…

In terms of Sear's transformation formula for $_4\phi_3$-series, we give new proofs of a summation formula for ${_4\phi_3}$-series due to Andrews [2] and another summation formula for${_4\phi_3}$-series conjectured in the same paper.…

The purpose of this article is to survey the developments on the Kakeya problem in recent years, concentrating on the period after the excellent 1999 survey of Wolff, and including some recent work by the authors. We will focus on the…

In this paper we prove that the generalized version of the Minimal Resolution Conjecture stated by Mustata holds for certain general sets of points on a smooth cubic surface $X \subset \mathbb{P}^3$. The main tool used is Gorenstein liaison…

We show that the following algorithmic problem is decidable: given a $2$-dimensional simplicial complex, can it be embedded (topologically, or equivalently, piecewise linearly) in $\mathbf{R}^3$? By a known reduction, it suffices to decide…

Let $K$ be a compact set in the complex plane $\C$, such that its complement in the Riemann sphere, $(\C\cup\{\infty\})\sm K$, is connected. Also, let $U\subseteq\C$ be an open set which contains $K$. Then there exists a simply connected…

We formulate the modularity conjecture for rigid Calabi-Yau threefolds defined over the field Q of rational numbers. We establish the modularity for the rigid Calabi-Yau threefold arising from the root lattice A_3. Our proof is based on…

Although false for general graphs, this note gives an elementary proof of the bunkbed conjecture for any acyclic graph. The argument is short and self-contained, and may be of educational interest.

We characterize the permutations of $\mathbb{F}_q$ whose graph minimizes the number of collinear triples and describe the lexicographically-least one, affirming a conjecture of Cooper-Solymosi. This question is closely connected to…

In a recent work on Euler-type formulae for even Dirichlet beta values, i.e. $\beta{(2n)}$, I have derived an exact closed-form expression for a class of zeta series. From this result, I have conjectured closed-form summations for two…

Let $p(z)=a_0+a_1z+a_2z^2+a_3z^3+\cdots+a_nz^n$ be a polynomial of degree $n,$ where the coefficients $a_j,$ $j \in \{0,1,2,\cdots n\},$ are real numbers. We impose some restriction on the coefficients and then prove some extensions and…

Let $K/ \mathbb{Q}$ be an imaginary $S_3$-extension, and $p$ a prime number which splits into exactly three primes in $K$. We give a sufficient condition for the validity of Greenberg's generalized conjecture for $K$ and $p$.

We present a short proof, relaying on the divergence theorem, verifying that minimal sets in the plane are trivial.

We present an elementary combinatorial proof of the celebrated Friendship theorem. The proof involves looking at independent sets and constructing a bound on their size which forces a contradiction.

A "rational" version of the strengthened form of the Commuting Derivation Conjecture, in which the assumption of commutativity is dropped, is proved. A systematic method of constructing in any dimension greater than 3 the examples answering…

We construct a compact set in $\mathbb R^2$ of measure 0 containing a piece of a parabola of every aperture between 1 and 2. As a consequence, we improve lower bounds for the $L^p$-$L^q$ norm of the corresponding maximal operator for a…

A conjecture is given that, if true, could lead to an algorithm for computing definite sums of rational functions.

We provide a proof of a variant of the Landau-Siegel Zeros conjecture.

We prove a generalization of one of Lie's Theorems in the context of Lie-like algebras$^{2-nd}$.

We study the reduced descendent Gromov-Witten theory of K3 surfaces in primitive curve classes. We present a conjectural closed formula for the stationary theory, which generalizes the Bryan-Leung formula. We also prove a new recursion that…
