X. Deng et al. proved Chvātal＇s conjecture on maximal stable sets and maximal cliques in graphs. G. Ding made a conjecture to generalize Chvátal＇s conjecture. The purpose of this paper is to prove this conjecture in planar graphs and the complement of planar graphs.     

Note on a Conjecture of Gopakumar-Vafa

We rephrase the Gopakumar-Vafa conjecture on genus zero Gromov-Witten invariants of Calabi-Yau threefolds in terms of the virtual degree of the moduli of pure dimension one stable sheaves and investigate the conjecture for K3 fibred local Calabi-Yau threefolds.     

Yau's uniformization conjecture for manifolds with non-maximal volume growth

The well-known Yau's uniformization conjecture states that any complete noncompact K¨ahler manifold with positive bisectional curvature is bi-holomorphic to the Euclidean space. The conjecture for the case of maximal volume growth has been recently confirmed by G. Liu in [23]. In the first part, we will give a survey on the progress.In the second part, we will consider Yau's conjecture for manifolds with non-maximal volume growth. We will show that the finiteness of the first Chern number C_1~n is an essential condition to solve Yau's conjecture by using algebraic embedding method. Moreover, we prove that,under bounded curvature conditions, C_1~n is automatically finite provided that there exists a positive line bundle with finite Chern number. In particular, we obtain a partial answer to Yau's uniformization conjecture on K¨ahler manifolds with minimal volume growth.     

Noncommutative versions of the Singer-Wermer conjecture with linear left ϑ-derivations

The noncommutative Singer-Wermer conjecture states that every linear （possibly unbounded） derivation on a （possibly noncommutative） Banach algebra maps into its Jacobson radical. This conjecture is still an open question for more than thirty years. In this paper we approach this question via linear left θ-derivations.     

Optimal constant in an L~2 extension problem and a proof of a conjecture of Ohsawa

In this paper,we solve the optimal constant problem in the setting of Ohsawa’s generalized L2extension theorem.As applications,we prove a conjecture of Ohsawa and the extended Suita conjecture,we also establish some relations between Bergman kernel and logarithmic capacity on compact and open Riemann surfaces.     

Induced orbit data and induced unitary representations for complex groups

We use induced orbit covers to define induced orbit data.By studying the space of regular functions on orbit cover,we know that the induced representation has close connection with the induced orbit datum under the meaning of Vogan’s conjecture.Therefore,when verifying Vogan’s conjecture,many cases can be reduced to the case of rigid orbit data.     

A proof of Sethares'''' conjecture

Let (?)(z) be holomorphic in the unit disk △ and meromorphic on △. Suppose / is a Teichmuller mapping with complex dilatation In 1968, Sethares conjectured that f is extremal if and only if either (i)(?) has a double pole or (ii)(?) has no pole of order exceeding two on (?)△. The "if" part of the conjecture had been solved by himself. We will give the affirmative answer to the "only if" part of the conjecture. In addition, a more general criterion for extremality of quasiconformal mappings is constructed in this paper, which generalizes the "if" part of Sethares' conjecture and improves the result by Reich and Shapiro in 1990.

Based on the work of Lenstra, a succinct proof of Browkin's conjecture about the elements of order five in K2(Q) is given.     

Some notes on a conjecture of Zygmund

In this paper, some classes of differentiation basis are investigated and several positive answers to a conjecture of Zygmund on differentiation of integrals are presented.     

Some Results on the Problems of Block Theory

In this paper, we obtain two results on Brauer‘s k (B) - problem about finite groups under some conditions. Furthermore, we obtain that Olsson‘s conjecture holds under the same conditions on the finite groups.     

New results on the conjecture of Rhodes and on the topological conjecture

The Conjecture of Rhodes, originally called the “type II conjecture” by Rhodes, gives an algorithm to compute the kernel of a finite semigroup. This conjecture has numerous important consequences and is one of the most attractive problems on finite semigroups. It was known that the conjecture of Rhodes is a consequence of another conjecture on the finite group topology for the free monoid. In this paper, we show that the topological conjecture and the conjecture of Rhodes are both equivalent to a third conjecture and we prove this third conjecture in a number of significant particular cases.     

Some phases of oscillatory integrals

The first example of a phase is presented for which Arhold’s conjecture on the validity of uniform estimates for oscillatory integrals with maximal singularity index is true, while his conjecture on the semicontinuity of the singularity index is false. A rough upper bound for the Milnor number such that the latter conjecture fails is obtained. The corresponding counterexample is simpler than Varchenko’s well-known counterexample to Arnold’s conjecture on the semicontinuity of the singularity index. This gives hope to decrease codimension and the Milnor number for which the conjecture on the semicontinuity of the singularity index fails.     

Divisibility properties of values of partial zeta functions at non-positive integers

We conjecture a new bound on the exact denominators of the values at non-positive integers of imprimitive partial zeta functions associated with an Abelian extension of number fields. At s?=?0, this conjecture is closely connected to a conjecture of David Hayes. We prove the new conjecture assuming that the Coates–Sinnott conjecture holds for the extension.     

Fibonacci-like behavior of the number of numerical semigroups of a given genus

We conjecture a Fibonacci-like property on the number of numerical semigroups of a given genus. Moreover we conjecture that the associated quotient sequence approaches the golden ratio. The conjecture is motivated by the results on the number of semigroups of genus at most 50. The Wilf conjecture has also been checked for all numerical semigroups with genus in the same range.     

Tate''s Conjecture, Algebraic Cycles and Rational K-Theory in Characteristic p

The purpose of this article is to discuss conjectures on motives, algebraic cycles and K-theory of smooth projective varieties over finite fields. We give a characterization of Tate's conjecture in terms of motives and their Frobenius endomorphism. This is used to prove that if Tate's conjecture holds and rational and numerical equivalence over finite fields agree, then higher rational K-groups of smooth projective varieties over finite fields vanish (Parshin's conjecture). Parshin's conjecture in turn implies a conjecture of Beilinson and Kahn giving bounds on rational K-groups of fields in finite characteristic. We derive further consequences from this result.     

A Counterexample to the “Hot Spots” Conjecture on Nested Fractals

Although the “hot spots” conjecture was proved to be false on some classical domains, the problem still generates a lot of interests on identifying the domains that the conjecture hold. The question can also be asked on fractal sets that admit Laplacians. It is known that the conjecture holds on the Sierpinski gasket and its variants. In this note, we show surprisingly that the “hot spots” conjecture fails on the hexagasket, a typical nested fractal set. The technique we use is the spectral decimation method of eigenvalues of Laplacian on fractals.

Sphere packings, I

We describe a program to prove the Kepler conjecture on sphere packings. We then carry out the first step of this program. Each packing determines a decomposition of space into Delaunay simplices, which are grouped together into finite configurations called Delaunay stars. A score, which is related to the density of packings, is assigned to each Delaunay star. We conjecture that the score of every Delaunay star is at most the score of the stars in the face-centered cubic and hexagonal close packings. This conjecture implies the Kepler conjecture. To complete the first step of the program, we show that every Delaunay star that satisfies a certain regularity condition satisfies the conjecture.     

The Alperin and dade conjectures for the simple Conway’s third group

This paper is part of a program to study Alperin’s weight conjecture and Dade’s conjecture on counting ordinary characters in blocks for several finite groups. The classifications of radical subgroups and certain radical chains and their local structures of the simple Conway’s third group have been obtained by using the computer algebra system CAYLEY. The Alperin weight conjecture and the Dade final conjecture have been confirmed for the group.
