In 1956, Je$acute{s}$manowicz conjectured that, for positive integers $m$ and $n$ with $m>n, , gcd(m,, n)=1$ and $m otequiv npmod{2}$, the exponential Diophantine equation $(m^2-n^2)^x+(2mn)^y=(m^2+n^2)^z$ has only the positive integer solution $(x,,y,, z)=(2,,2,,2)$. Recently, Ma and Chen cite{MC17} proved the conjecture if $4 ot|mn$ and $yge2$. In this paper, we present an elementary proof of the result of Ma and Chen cite{MC17}.
Let $Omega(n)$ denote the number of prime factors of $n$. We show that for any bounded $fcolonmathbb{N}tomathbb{C}$ one has [ frac{1}{N}sum_{n=1}^N, f(Omega(n)+1)=frac{1}{N}sum_{n=1}^N, f(Omega(n))+mathrm{o}_{Ntoinfty}(1). ] This yields a new elementary proof of the Prime Number Theorem.
A sequence of random variables is called exchangeable if the joint distribution of the sequence is unchanged by any permutation of the indices. De Finettis theorem characterizes all ${0,1}$-valued exchangeable sequences as a mixture of sequences of independent random variables. We present an new, elementary proof of de Finettis Theorem. The purpose of this paper is to make this theorem accessible to a broader community through an essentially self-contained proof.
We give an elementary proof of Grothendiecks non-vanishing Theorem: For a finitely generated non-zero module $M$ over a Noetherian local ring $A$ with maximal ideal $m$, the local cohomology module $H^{dim M}_{m}(M)$ is non-zero.
A renowned information-theoretic formula by Shannon expresses the mutual information rate of a white Gaussian channel with a stationary Gaussian input as an integral of a simple function of the power spectral density of the channel input. We give in this paper a rigorous yet elementary proof of this classical formula. As opposed to all the conventional approaches, which either rely on heavy mathematical machineries or have to resort to some external results, our proof, which hinges on a recently proven sampling theorem, is elementary and self-contained, only using some well-known facts from basic calculus and matrix theory.
