Real Hénon maps (by P. Berger)

Question 1: Can we find a Hénon map (of some degree) which admits a wild attractor, i.e., a Cantor set which attracts a set of Lebesgue positive measure and which is strictly included in a transitive set ?

Refer to Van Strien (2010) who asked whether a suitable analog of wild attractors could exist for Hénon maps (of some degree). ...

Collatz Problem

The Collatz conjecture is among the most renowned unsolved problems in mathematics. It postulates whether iteratively applying two elementary arithmetic operations will inevitably lead every positive integer to 1.

It revolves around sequences of integers where each term is derived from the preceding one by the following rules: ...

The Happy Ending problem (forcing convex polygons)

The happy ending problem, is concerned with determining, for $ n \geq 3 $, the smallest number of points in the plane, each in general position (i.e., not collinear), such that any arrangement of these points will always include at least one set of $ n $ points forming the vertices of a convex polygon with $ n $ sides. ...

Birch–Tate conjecture

The conjecture known as the Birch–Tate conjecture within the field of algebraic K-theory, and was jointly proposed by Bryan John Birch and John Tate.

Let $K$ represent a totally real number field, $\zeta_K$ denote the Dedekind zeta function, and $K_2(\mathcal{O}_K)$ be the algebraic $K_2$-group. ...

Goldbach's conjecture

Goldbach's original conjecture, referred to as the "ternary" Goldbach conjecture, was communicated in a letter to Euler on June 7, 1742. [1]. It suggests that:

Every number greater than 2 can be expressed as the sum of three primes. ...

Riemannian two-sphere contains two smoothly immersed curves ...

The text below is excerpted from [1], with minor modifications in wording.

Birkhoff's celebrated theorem states that any two-sphere equipped with a Riemannian metric invariably harbors a closed geodesic. An enduring puzzle posed by V.I. Arnold in 1981 [2] is as follows: ...

Projective self-duals

Consider a vector space $V$. The projective space $\mathbb{P}$ consists of all 1-dimensional subspaces of $V$. The projective dual space $\mathbb{P}^*$ is obtained by projectivizing $V^*$, where $V^*$ denotes the vector space containing all linear functions over $V$. For every subspace $A$ in $V$, we can associate its annihilator $A^*$ in $V^*$. ...
