In this paper, we examine Atiyah's Hermitian axiom for two-dimensional complex topological quantum field theories. Building on the correspondence between 2D TQFTs and Frobenius algebras, we find the algebraic objects corresponding to…
We prove constant-curvature analogues of several results regarding the hot spots conjecture in dimension two. Our main theorem shows that the hot spots conjecture holds for all non-acute geodesic triangles of constant negative curvature. We…
A version of the Atiyah-Floer conjecture, adapted to admissible SO(3)-bundles, is established.
An old question in Euclidean Ramsey theory asks, if the points in the plane are red-blue coloured, does there always exist a red pair of points at unit distance or five blue points in line separated by unit distances? An elementary proof…
We deal with the distribution of N points placed consecutively around the circle by a fixed angle of a. From the proof of Tony van Ravenstein, we propose a detailed proof of the Steinhaus conjecture whose result is the following: the N…
We introduce ordered and unordered configuration spaces of 'clusters' of points in an Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^d$, where points in each cluster satisfy a 'verticality' condition, depending on a decomposition $d=p+q$. We compute the…
We prove that if the Hausdorff dimension of a compact set $E \subset {\Bbb R}^2$ is greater than 7/4, then the set of {\ag three-point configurations determined by $E$ has positive three-dimensional measure}. We establish this by showing…
We provide new conditions for the Strong Atiyah conjecture to lift to finite group extensions. In particular, we show cocompact special groups satisfy these conditions, so the Strong Atiyah conjecture holds for virtually cocompact special…
Part 1 : For more than two millennia, ever since Euclid's geometry, the so called Archimedean Axiom has been accepted without sufficiently explicit awareness of that fact. The effect has been a severe restriction of our views of space-time,…
A result by C. C.-A. Cheng, J. H. Mckay and S. S.-S. Wang says the following: Suppose the Jacobian of $A$ and $B$ is invertible in $\mathbb{C}[x,y]$ and the Jacobian of $A$ and $w$ is zero for $A,B,w \in \mathbb{C}[x,y]$. Then $w \in…
In this paper we prove undecidability of finite systems of equations in free Lie algebras of rank at least three over an arbitrary field. We show that the ring of integers $\mathbb{Z}$ is interpretable by positive existential formulas in…
We show that a locally symmetric space of noncompact type and with finite volume is quasi-isometric to the euclidean cone over a finite simplicial complex. A detailed analysis of metric properties yields a proof of a conjecture of Siegel.
Problems, related to the determination of the minimal number of balls that generate a shadow at a fixed point in the multi-dimensional Euclidean space $ \mathbb{R}^n $, are considered in present work. Here, the statement "a system of balls…
We prove Polya's conjecture of 1943: For a real entire function of order greater than 2, with finitely many non-real zeros, the number of non-real zeros of the n-th derivative tends to infinity with n. We use the saddle point method and…
We consider area preserving maps of surfaces and extend Mather's result on the equality of the closure of the four branches of saddles. He assumed elliptic fixed points to be Moser stable, while we require only that the derivative at this…
The three gap theorem (or Steinhaus conjecture) asserts that there are at most three distinct gap lengths in the fractional parts of the sequence $\alpha,2\alpha,\ldots,N\alpha$, for any integer $N$ and real number $\alpha$. This statement…
Consider a given space, e.g., the Euclidean plane, and its decomposition into Voronoi regions induced by given sites. It seems intuitively clear that each point in the space belongs to at least one of the regions, i.e., no neutral region…
Let $Hilb^d(A^3)$ be the Hilbert scheme of $d$ points in $A^3$, and let $T_z$ denote the tangent space to a point $z \in Hilb^d(A^3)$. Okounkov and Pandharipande have conjectured that $\dim T_z$ and $d$ have the same parity for every $z$.…
An AIA formula is one of the form 'A implies B' where A and B are purely universal. Up to a simple reduction AIA formula are both EA and AE. In an earlier paper Solovay, Harrison and I proved the undecidability of validity for the AIA…
Let $(P, Q)$ be a pair of Jacobian polynomials. We can show that $ <P, Q>+l+2g(P)-2= 0= <P, [P,Q]>$, where $<f, g>$ is the intersection number of $f, g\in \CC[x, y]$ in the affine plane, $l$ is the number of branch at point at infinity and…
