The famous theorem of Higman states that for any well-quasi-order (wqo) $Q$ the embeddability order on finite sequences over $Q$ is also wqo. In his celebrated 1965 paper, Nash-Williams established that the same conclusion holds even for…

Let F be a totally real number field of odd degree. We prove several purely local criteria for the asymptotic Fermat's Last Theorem to hold over F, and also for the non-existence of solutions to the unit equation over F. For example, if 2…

In this paper we present an elementary proof for a special case of Fermat's last theorem for specific category of a, b and c. In fact, we assume that $n$ is prime and $4\rvert (n+1),$ then for $a,b$ and $c$ that $ n\nmid abc$ the equation…

Mathematical proofs are both paradigms of certainty and some of the most explicitly-justified arguments that we have in the cultural record. Their very explicitness, however, leads to a paradox, because the probability of error grows…

Mathematicians had little idea whether the easy-to-state union-closed conjecture was true or false even after $40$ years. However, last winter saw a surge of interest in the conjecture and its variants, initiated by the contribution of a…

This is a survey article on developments in modularity since the proof of Fermat's Last Theorem, with an emphasis on the historical development of the subject rather than any technical details.

Two recent papers by Kawarabayashi, Thomas and Wollan, "A New Proof of the Flat Wall Theorem" (arXiv:1207.6927) and "Quickly Excluding a Non-Planar Graph" (arXiv:2010.12397) provide major improvements over Robertson and Seymour's original…

Recently, D. Burns and C. Greither (Invent. Math., 2003) deduced an equivariant version of the main conjecture for abelian number fields. This was the key to their proof of the equivariant Tamagawa number conjecture. A. Huber and G. Kings…

These are the lecture notes of a set of lectures delivered at the 1995 Trieste summer school in June. I review some recent work on duality in four dimensional Maxwell theory on arbitrary four manifolds, as well as a new set of topological…

Given a polynomial system $\mathcal{F}$ over a finite field $k$ which is not necessarily of dimension zero, we consider the Weil descent $\mathcal{F}'$ of $\mathcal{F}$ over a subfield $k'$. We prove a theorem which relates the last fall…

The first-order theory of finite and infinite trees has been studied since the eighties, especially by the logic programming community. Following Djelloul, Dao and Fr\"uhwirth, we consider an extension of this theory with an additional…

These are the notes for my lecture ``Resolution of Sigularities in Charcteristic 0" given at the AMS Summer Institute at Seattle. It gives a self contained proof of the strong Hironaka resolution theorem.

Let $N$ be a normal subgroup of a finite group $G$. For a faithful $N$-set $\Delta$, applying the university embedding theorem one can construct a faithful $G$-set $\Omega$. In this short note, it is proved that if the $2$-closure of $N$ in…

We show that the set of all formulas in n variables valid in a finite class A of finite algebras is always a regular tree language, and compute a finite axiom set for A. We give a rational reconstruction of Barzdins' liquid flow algorithm…

A lemma stated by Ke Li in [arXiv:1208.1400] has been used in e.g. [arXiv:1510.04682,arXiv:1706.04590,arXiv:1612.01464,arXiv:1308.6503,arXiv:1602.08898] for various tasks in quantum hypothesis testing, data compression with quantum side…

In a recent series of papers and lectures, John Conway and Simon Kochen presented The Free Will Theorem. "It asserts, roughly, that if indeed we humans have free will, then elementary particles already have their own small share of this…

We prove a conjecture made by Gilman in 1984 that the groups presented by finite, monadic, confluent rewriting systems are precisely the free products of free and finite groups.

This paper is based on Wald Lectures given at the annual meeting of the IMS in Minneapolis during August 2005. It is a survey of the theory of large deviations.

This expository essay discusses a finite dimensional approach to dilation theory. How much of dilation theory can be worked out within the realm of linear algebra? It turns out that some interesting and simple results can be obtained. These…

In a recent breakthrough, Gilmer proved the union closed conjecture up to a constant factor. Using Gilmer's method and additional ideas, Chase and Lovett proved an optimal result for almost union-closed set systems. Here that result is…
