We prove a conjecture by Shannon Starr regarding the asymptotics for the number of tuples of commuting permutations with given number of joint orbits. These numbers generalize unsigned Stirling numbers of the first kind which count how many…
This note gives two results on guessing unbounded subsets of lambda^+. The first is a positive result and applies to the situation of lambda regular, while the second is a negative consistency result which applies to the situation of lambda…
We provide a new simple and transparent proof of the version of Kummer's test given in [Tong, J. (1994). Amer. Math. Monthly. 101(5): 450--452]. Our proof is based on an application of a Hardy--Littlewood Tauberian theorem.
The main result of this paper, Simon's conjecture for fibered knots, was previously proven by Silver and Whitten math.GT/0405462 with essentially the same proof. This paper is therefore being withdrawn. The author would like to apologize…
This is a small note on Manin's 1966 article on rational surfaces over perfect fields, the conjecture he formulates there, and later developments. This text is by no means exhaustive and reflects the author's understanding and interest.…
This note provides a simplified exposition of the proof of hierarchical Kraft lemma proven by Barmpalias and Lewis-Pye and its consequences for the oracle use in the Ku\v{c}era--G\'acs theorem (saying that every sequence is Turing reducible…
In this paper, we generalize the Cosmetic Surgery Conjecture to an $n$-cusped hyperbolic $3$-manifold and prove it under the assumption of another well-known conjecture in number theory, so called the Zilber-Pink Conjecture. For $n=1$ and…
The sure thing principle and the law of total probability are basic laws in classic probability theory. A disjunction fallacy leads to the violation of these two classical laws. In this paper, an Evidential Markov (EM) decision making model…
(l) I have enough evidence to render the sentence S probable. (la) So, relative to what I know, it is rational of me to believe S. (2) Now that I have more evidence, S may no longer be probable. (2a) So now, relative to what I know, it is…
This is a typeset version of Alan Turing's declassified Second World War paper \textit{Paper on Statistics of Repetitions}. See the companion paper, \textit{The Applications of Probability to Cryptography}, also available from arXiv at…
In this article we use techniques developed by Hrushovski-Loeser to study certain metric properties of the Berkovich analytification of a finite morphism of smooth connected projective curves. In recent work, M. Temkin proved a radiality…
In this very short note, we give a counterexample to a recent conjecture of Gilmer which would have implied the union-closed conjecture.
A short, fairly self-contained proof is given of the Poincar\'e Conjecture. In the previous version there was an error on Page 8. This gap has now been filled.
We prove versions of Khintchine's Theorem (1924) for approximations by rational numbers whose numerators lie in randomly chosen sets of integers, and we explore the extent to which the monotonicity assumption can be removed. Roughly…
We give a complete proof for the implication from the Manin-Mumford conjecture to the Mordell-Lang conjecture in positive characteristic, using integral models of semi-abelian varieties over a ring of formal power series, and the machinery…
The proof of Theorem 11 of the paper M. Scheepers, Remarks on countable tightness, Topology and its Applications 161 (2014), 407 - 432 relies on Lemma 10 of that paper. The offered proof of Lemma 10 had shortcomings, and I was recently…
Let p>2 be prime. We complete the proof of the weight part of Serre's conjecture for rank two unitary groups for mod p representations in the totally ramified case, by proving that any weight which occurs is a predicted weight. Our methods…
We show that refined Chern-Simons theory and large N duality can be used to study the refined topological string with and without branes. We derive the refined topological vertex of hep-th/0701156 and hep-th/0502061 from a link invariant of…
