Chen's biharmonic conjecture is well-known and stays open: The only biharmonic submanifolds of Euclidean spaces are the minimal ones. In this paper, we consider an advanced version of the conjecture, replacing $Delta$ by its extension, $L_1$-operator ($L_1$-conjecture). The $L_1$-conjecture states that any $L_1$-biharmonic Euclidean hypersurface is 1-minimal. We prove that the $L_1$-conje...

let $e$ be an elliptic curve over $bbb{q}$ with the given weierstrass equation $ y^2=x^3+ax+b$. if $d$ is a squarefree integer, then let $e^{(d)}$ denote the $d$-quadratic twist of $e$ that is given by $e^{(d)}: y^2=x^3+ad^2x+bd^3$. let $e^{(d)}(bbb{q})$ be the group of $bbb{q}$-rational points of $e^{(d)}$. it is conjectured by j. silverman that there are infinitely many primes $p$ for which $...

In this paper, we give a new and direct proof for the recently proved conjecture raised in Soltani and Roozegar (2012). The conjecture can be proved in a few lines via the integral representation of the Gauss-hypergeometric function unlike the long proof in Roozegar and Soltani (2013).

we investigate the classical h.~zassenhaus conjecture‎ ‎for integral group rings of alternating groups $a_9$ and $a_{10}$ of degree‎ ‎$9$ and $10$‎, ‎respectively‎. ‎as a consequence of our‎ ‎previous results we confirm the prime graph‎ ‎conjecture for integral group rings of $a_n$ for all $n leq 10$‎.

This note introduces a new general conjecture correlating the dimensionality dT of an infinite lattice with N nodes to the asymptotic value of its Wiener Index W(N). In the limit of large N the general asymptotic behavior W(N)≈Ns is proposed, where the exponent s and dT are related by the conjectured formula s=2+1/dT allowing a new definition of dimensionality dW=(s-2)-1. Being related to the t...

The existing research on the Dyadic Adjustment Scale (DAS) indicated that there were problems with some of the subscales and individual items. This study was designed to improve the instrument by following the standards of construct hierarchy. Through previous research and the analyses in this study, the subscales were found to contain some items that were homogeneous and others that were more ...

let $g$ be a finite group and let $text{cd}(g)$ be the set of all‎ ‎complex irreducible character degrees of $g$‎. ‎b‎. ‎huppert conjectured‎ ‎that if $h$ is a finite nonabelian simple group such that‎ ‎$text{cd}(g) =text{cd}(h)$‎, ‎then $gcong h times a$‎, ‎where $a$ is‎ ‎an abelian group‎. ‎in this paper‎, ‎we verify the conjecture for‎ ${f_4(2)}.$‎

‎‎we investigate graham higman's paper emph{enumerating }$p$emph{-groups}‎, ‎ii‎, ‎in which he formulated his famous porc conjecture‎. ‎we are able to simplify some of the theory‎. ‎in particular‎, ‎higman's paper contains five pages of homological algebra which he uses in‎ ‎his proof that the number of solutions in a finite field to a finite set of‎ ‎emph{monomial} equations is porc‎. ‎it turn...

let $gamma(s_n)$ be the minimum number of proper subgroups‎ ‎$h_i, i=1‎, ‎dots‎, ‎l $ of the symmetric group $s_n$ such that each element in $s_n$‎ ‎lies in some conjugate of one of the $h_i.$ in this paper we‎ ‎conjecture that $$gamma(s_n)=frac{n}{2}left(1-frac{1}{p_1}right)‎ ‎left(1-frac{1}{p_2}right)+2,$$ where $p_1,p_2$ are the two smallest primes‎ ‎in the factorization of $ninmathbb{n}$ an...
