We show that the Stanley's Conjecture holds for an intersection of four monomial prime ideals of a polynomial algebra $S$ over a field and for an arbitrary intersection of monomial prime ideals $(P_i)_{i\in [s]}$ of $S$ such that…

The Sendovs conjecture asserts that if all the zeros of a polynomial p(z) lie in the closed unit disk, then there must be a critical point of p(z) within unit distance of each zero. The conjecture has been proved to be true for many special…

We address the following natural but hitherto unstudied question: what are the possible linear extension numbers of an $n$-element poset? Let $\mathbf{LE}(n)$ denote the set of all positive integers that arise as the number of linear…

In this note we announce the proof of the inverse conjecture for the Gowers U^{s+1}[N]-norm for all s => 3; this is new for s => 4, the cases s = 1,2,3 having been previously established. More precisely we outline a proof (details of which…

The Tijdeman-Zagier conjecture states no integer solution exists for $A^X+B^Y=C^Z$ with positive integer bases and integer exponents greater than 2 unless gcd$(A,B,C)>1$. Any set of values that satisfy the conjecture correspond to a lattice…

Strassen's asymptotic rank conjecture [Progr. Math. 120 (1994)] claims a strong submultiplicative upper bound on the rank of a three-tensor obtained as an iterated Kronecker product of a constant-size base tensor. The conjecture, if true,…

We explore the enumeration of some natural classes of graded posets, including all graded posets, (2+2)- and (3+1)-avoiding graded posets, (2+2)-avoiding graded posets, and (3+1)-avoiding graded posets. We obtain enumerative and structural…

In this paper we introduce and develop the concept of expansivity of a tuple whose entries are elements from the polynomial ring $\mathbb{C}[x]$. As an inverse problem, we examine how to recover a tuple from the expanded tuple at any given…

We study a conjecture called "linear rank conjecture" recently raised in (Tsang et al., FOCS'13), which asserts that if many linear constraints are required to lower the degree of a GF(2) polynomial, then the Fourier sparsity (i.e. number…

The abc conjecture is one of the most famous unsolved problems in number theory. The conjecture claims for each real $\epsilon > 0$ that there are only a finite number of coprime positive integer solutions to the equation $a+b = c$ with $c…

Given a real polynomial $p$ with only real zeroes, we find upper and lower bounds for the number of non-real zeroes of the differential polynomial $$ F_{\varkappa}[p](z):= p(z)p''(z)-\varkappa[p'(z)]^2,$$ where $\varkappa$ is a real number.…

We investigate the diagonal generating function of the Jacobi-Stirling numbers of the second kind $ \JS(n+k,n;z)$ by generalizing the analogous results for the Stirling and Legendre-Stirling numbers. More precisely, letting…

We introduce the concept of piecewise interlacing zeros for studying the relation of root distribution of two polynomials. The concept is pregnant with an idea of confirming the real-rootedness of polynomials in a sequence. Roughly…

The Bergelson-Leibman theorem states that if P_1, ..., P_k are polynomials with integer coefficients, then any subset of the integers of positive upper density contains a polynomial configuration x+P_1(m), ..., x+P_k(m), where x,m are…

We study combinatorial inequalities for various classes of set systems: matroids, polymatroids, poset antimatroids, and interval greedoids. We prove log-concavity inequalities for counting certain weighted feasible words, which generalize…

It was shown by V. Bergelson that any set B with positive upper multiplicative density contains nicely intertwined arithmetic and geometric progressions: For each positive integer k there exist integers a,b,d such that $ {b(a+id)^j:i,j…

The notion of noncrossing partitions of a partially ordered set (poset) is introduced here. When the poset in question is $[n]=\{1,2,\dots, n\}$ with the complete order of natural numbers, conventional noncrossing partitions arise. The…

P\'or and Wood conjectured that for all $k,l \ge 2$ there exists $n \ge 2$ with the following property: whenever $n$ points, no $l + 1$ of which are collinear, are chosen in the plane and each of them is assigned one of $k$ colours, then…

In this paper we present an explicit formula for the number of permutations with a given number of alternating descents. Moreover, we study the interlacing property of the real parts of the zeros of the generating polynomials of these…

The Casas-Alvero conjecture states: if a complex univariate polynomial has a common root with each of its derivatives, then it has a unique root. We show that hypothetical counterexamples must have at least 5 different roots. The first case…
