We prove the macroscopic cousins of three conjectures: 1) a conjectural bound of the simplicial volume of a Riemannian manifold in the presence of a lower scalar curvature bound, 2) the conjecture that rationally essential manifolds do not…
The Kneser-Poulsen conjecture says that if a finite collection of balls in a d-dimensional Euclidean space is rearranged so that the distance between each pair of centers does not get smaller, then the volume of the union of these balls…
We show that if A is a large subset of a box in Z^d with dimensions L_1 >= L_2 >= ... >= L_d which are all reasonably large, then |A + A| > 2^{d/48}|A|. By combining this with Chang's quantitative version of Freiman's theorem, we prove a…
In a recent work, Andrews gave analytic proofs of two conjectures concerning some variations of two combinatorial identities between partitions of a positive integer into odd parts and partitions into distinct parts discovered by Beck.…
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…
We give a short survey of problems and results on (1) diameter graphs and hypergraphs, and (2) geometric Ramsey theory. We also make some modest contributions to both areas. Extending a well known theorem of Kahn and Kalai which disproved…
We prove two conjectures in this paper. The first conjecture is by Lund, Pham and Thu: Given a Borel set $A\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ such that $\dim A\in (k,k+1]$ for some $k\in\{1,\dots,n-1\}$. For $0<s<k$, we have \[ \text{dim}(\{y\in…
Euler showed that the number of partitions of $n$ into distinct parts equals the number of partitions of $n$ into odd parts. This theorem was generalized by Glaisher and further by Franklin. Recently, Beck made three conjectures on…
The \textit{Collatz's conjecture} is an unsolved problem in mathematics. It is named after Lothar Collatz in 1973. The conjecture also known as Syrucuse conjecture or problem. Take any positive integer $ n $. If $ n $ is even then divide it…
The Hirsch Conjecture (1957) stated that the graph of a $d$-dimensional polytope with $n$ facets cannot have (combinatorial) diameter greater than $n-d$. That is, that any two vertices of the polytope can be connected by a path of at most…
In 1960, Gr\"{u}nbaum proved that for any convex body $C\subset\mathbb{R}^d$ and every halfspace $H$ containing the centroid of $C$, one has that the volume of $H\cap C$ is at least a $\frac{1}{e}$-fraction of the volume of $C$. Recently,…
The bellows conjecture claims that the volume of any flexible polyhedron of dimension 3 or higher is constant during the flexion. The bellows conjecture was proved for flexible polyhedra in the Euclidean spaces of dimensions 3 and higher,…
We use obstruction theory to prove that if alpha(n)=2, then RP^{16n+8} cannot be immersed in R^{32n+3} and RP^{16n+10} cannot be immersed in R^{32n+11}, and that if alpha(n)>2, then RP^{8n+4} can be embedded in R^{16n+1}. These are new…
Let $\overline{bt}(n)$ denote the number of overcubic partition triples of $n$. Nayaka, Dharmendra and Kumar proved some congruences modulo 8, 16 and 32 for $\overline{bt}(n)$. Recently, Saikia and Sarma established some congruences modulo…
We give a short proof that Strassen's asymptotic rank conjecture implies that for every $\varepsilon > 0$ there exists a $(3/2^{2/3} + \varepsilon)^n$-time algorithm for set cover on a universe of size $n$ with sets of bounded size. This…
A famous conjecture of Ryser states that every $r$-partite hypergraph has vertex cover number at most $r - 1$ times the matching number. In recent years, hypergraphs meeting this conjectured bound, known as $r$-Ryser hypergraphs, have been…
It is shown that $m$ disjoint sets with fixed Gaussian volumes that partition $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ with minimum Gaussian surface area must be $(m-1)$-dimensional. This follows from a second variation argument using infinitesimal translations.…
The lower dimensional Busemann-Petty problem asks whether origin-symmetric convex bodies in R^n with smaller volume of all k-dimensional sections necessarily have smaller volume. The answer is negative for k>3. The problem is still open for…
In 1989 Kalai stated the three conjectures A, B, C of increasing strength concerning face numbers of centrally symmetric convex polytopes. The weakest conjecture, A, became known as the ``$3^d$-conjecture''. It is well-known that the three…
In this article we encode Hadwiger's covering conjecture and Borsuk's partition conjecture into continuous functions defined on the spaces of convex bodies, propose a four-step program to approach them, and obtain some partial results.
