Perfect Powers in Lucas and Fibonacci - 3d

This cluster focuses on open questions and conjectures in number theory, specifically related to perfect powers in Lucas and Fibonacci sequences and Diophantine equations. It explores the sparsity of such numbers and their forms. The research seeks to identify and prove conjectures related to perfect powers arising from these sequences, looking for counterexamples or modified proof techniques.

Topological and Analytic Mathematical Problems - 6d

This cluster revolves around advanced mathematical topics. It includes a question on the proof of Cayley’s Theorem for Topological Groups and another related to the analytic continuation of a complex function involving the sinc function and the polylogarithm function, and includes the digamma function too. The use of topological groups and integral representations of functions makes these problems relevant to the field of mathematical analysis and abstract algebra.

Ambiguities in Order of Mathematical Operations - 15d

This cluster discusses the ambiguities surrounding mathematical operations and the importance of precise notation. It uses the classic example of the ‘8/2*(2+2)’ math problem to illustrate how different interpretations of order of operations can lead to varying results, specifically the answers 1 and 16. It emphasizes the critical role of clear mathematical writing to avoid confusion. This discussion on basic mathematical operations will benefit any mathematician.

Geometric and Topological Concepts - 10d

This cluster covers topics in geometry and topology. It explores trajectory behavior in planar polynomial ODEs, examines a paradox involving probability of acute triangles in different geometries and also provides a geometrical interpretation for the sum of the first n cubes. It touches on how quaternions can be used to derive the equations of spherical trigonometry.

Advanced Mathematical Problems and Techniques - 14d

This cluster focuses on mathematical concepts and problems, specifically involving integral regularization, Green’s functions, and Diophantine equations. The discussion includes the regularization of a contour integral using complex analysis, the asymptotics of Green functions near the diagonal, and an unsolved Diophantine equation. These topics represent core areas of pure mathematics and analytical techniques.
