From wormhole to time machine: Comments on Hawking’s Chronology Protection Conjecture
The recent interest in “time machines” has been largely fueled by the apparent ease with which such systems may be formed in general relativity, given relatively benign initial conditions such as the existence of traversable wormholes or of infinite cosmic strings. This rather disturbing state of affairs has led Hawking to formulate his Chronology Protection Conjecture, whereby the formation of...
متن کاملRemarks on Schur's Conjecture
Let P be a set of n points in R. It was conjectured by Schur that the maximum number of (d− 1)-dimensional regular simplices of edge length diam(P ), whose every vertex belongs to P , is n. We prove this statement under the condition that any two of the simplices share at least d− 2 vertices and we conjecture that this condition is always satisfied.
متن کاملRemarks on Frankl's conjecture
First a few reformulations of Frankl’s conjecture are given, in terms of reduced families or matrices, or analogously in terms of lattices. These lead naturally to a stronger conjecture with a neat formulation which might be easier to attack than Frankl’s. To this end we prove an inequality which might help in proving the stronger conjecture.
متن کاملRemarks on BMV conjecture
We show that for fixed A,B, hermitian nonnegative definite matrices, and fixed k the coefficients of the t in the polynomial Tr(A + tB) is positive if TrAB > 0 and m > N(A,B, k).
متن کاملRemarks on Serre’s modularity conjecture
In this article we give a proof of Serre’s conjecture for the case of odd level and arbitrary weight. Our proof will not depend on any yet unproved generalization of Kisin’s modularity lifting results to characteristic 2 (moreover, we will not consider at all characteristic 2 representations in any step of our proof). The key tool in the proof is Kisin’s recent modularity lifting result, which ...
