    LP, the Larch Prover Sample proofs sample conjectures. The order inwhich we have stated these conjectures is not completely arbitrary.  
    http://nms.lcs.mit.edu/Larch/LP/misc/sample_conjectures.html
    
    Extractions: We will illustrate LP's proof mechanisms by proving the following sample conjectures: Except for the fourth, the sample conjectures are like the sample axioms: they are either formulas or induction rules. The fourth, , is an abbreviation for the conjunction of the associative and commutative laws for the operator. It provides LP with useful operational information. For example, it allows LP to conclude that is the same set as ; hence the third conjecture shows that both of these sets are the same as x The order in which we have stated these conjectures is not completely arbitrary. As we shall see, some of them are used to prove conjectures appearing later in the list.

    Extractions: Be careful not to confuse variables and constants . If x is a variable and c is a constant, then e(x) is a stronger assertion than e(c) . The first means . In the absence of other assertions involving c , the second only implies . If you don't know whether an identifier is a variable or a constant, type display symbols to find out. Be careful about the use of free variables in formulas. The formula correctly (albeit awkwardly) expresses the fact that the empty set is a subset of any set. However, its converse, , does not express the fact that any set that is a subset of all sets must be the empty set. That fact is expressed by the equivalent formulas and An axiom or conjecture of the form when A yield B has the same logical content as one of the form A => B , but different operational content. Given the axiomization declare variable x: Bool declare operators a: -> Bool f, g, h: Bool -> Bool .. assert when f(x) yield g(x); g(x) => h(x); f(a) .. LP will automatically derive the fact g(a) from f(a) by applying the deduction rule , but it will not derive h(a) from g(a) unless it is instructed to compute critical-pairs A multiple-hypothesis deduction rule of the form when A, B yield C

    Extractions: The conjectures concern modular invariant theory and many of them concern the Noether number. They are expressed using standard notation and definitions Conjecture 1: Let G be a finite group. Let R denote k [V] G and let I denote the image of the transfer homomorphism. b b (R/ sqrt(I) Conjecture 2: Let G be a finite p-group where k is of characteristic p > 0. If Im Tr G is a principal ideal then k [V] G is a polynomial ring. Jim Shank and I proved the converse of this conjecture when k is the prime field F p =GF(p) . Since then Bram Broer has proved the converse for general fields k of characteristic p. No 3's Conjecture: Let V p denote the regular representation of the cyclic group Z/p over the finite field of prime order F p . Jim Shank and I have conjectured that b F p [V p Z/p ) = 2p-3. We have proven that b F p [V p Z/p F p [V p Z/p is generated by the orbit sums of the monomials which have no exponent exceeding 2. This latter conecture would imply that b F p [V p Z/p Conjecture 4 b k [W] G b k [V] G ). Jim Shank and I have proven this conjecture for G=Z/p.

    Extractions: Working Group Meeting: November 12 -16, 2001 Public Workshop: Graph Theory Day, Saturday, November 10, 2001 Location: DIMACS Center, CoRE Building, Rutgers University The process of scientific discovery is a very complex one. Computers can aid human beings in the process and, as has been a goal of researchers in artificial intelligence, in an automatic way. In the mathematical sciences, discovery can be thought to have three components: development of conjectures, formation of new concepts, and proving of theorems or disproving of conjectures. There has been a large amount of research done on automatic theorem proving. Here, we concentrate on the use of the computer as a tool in generating conjectures, whether in an automated way or as a tool used interactively by a person. The use of computers in scientific discovery, and in particular in the development of mathematical conjectures, is not new. The paper by Larsen [

    Extractions: Programme Participants Organisers: Professor P Hanlon, Professor IG Macdonald and Professor AO Morris. The overall programme: In the 1980s, IG Macdonald formulated a series of conjectures which predicted the constant terms of expressions that involve an important new class of symmetric functions called the Macdonald polynomials Since their introduction, these conjectures and polynomials have been a central topic of study in Algebraic Combinatorics. Of particular note has been the variety of approaches used in efforts to solve the conjectures or to find an algebraic or geometric interpretation for the Macdonald polynomials themselves. Different approaches involve double affine Hecke algebras, homology of nilpotent Lie algebras, generalized traces of Lie algebra representations and diagonal actions of the symmetric group on polynomial rings in two sets of variables. In this programme we will attempt to unify these different approaches to the Macdonald polynomials and some of the outstanding conjectures that have resulted from this work.

50. Conjectures And Conjectural Emendation
    conjectures and Conjectural Emendation. The New Testament is full of difficult readings. Asa result, at least two other conjectures were offered for the name.  
    http://www.skypoint.com/~waltzmn/Conjectures.html
    
    Extractions: The New Testament is full of difficult readings. There are probably hundreds of places where one scholar or another has argued that the text simply cannot be construed. Westcott and Hort, for instance, marked some five dozen passages with an asterisk as perhaps containing a primitive error. (A list of these passages is found in note 2 on page 184 of the second/third edition of Bruce M. Metzger's The Text of the New Textament.) Not all of these are nonsense, but all are difficult in some way. In classical textual criticism , the response to such "nonsense" readings is usually conjectural emendation the attempt to imagine what the author actually wrote. Such an emendation, to be successful, must of course fit the author's style and the context. It should also, ideally, explain how the "impossible" reading arose. The use of conjectural emendation in the classics especially those which survive only in single manuscripts can hardly be questioned. Even if we assume that there is no editorial activity, scribal error is always present. Thus, for instance, in Howell D. Chickering, Jr.'s edition of Beowulf

    Extractions: Next: Bibliography The Kac-Weisfeiler Conjectures According to the classical representation theory of complex Lie algebras, a finite-dimensional irreducible module over a finite-dimensional semisimple Lie algebra is completely determined by its so-called highest weight. In particular, the dimension of can be computed by means of Weyl's dimension formula. The example already shows that irreducible modules may occur in any dimension. If is a finite-dimensional Lie algebra over an algebraically closed field of characteristic , then the representation theory of is not nearly as well understood. Weyl's Theorem on the complete reducibility of finite-dimensional modules fails in this context, and the dimensions of the irreducible -modules are not known in general. One distinctive feature of modular representation theory is the existence of an upper bound for the dimensions of irreducible -modules. This aspect, as well as other phenomena, rests on the fact that the center of universal enveloping algebra contains a polynomial ring in variables over which is a finite module. The algebra

    Extractions: A First Glance at the Kac-Weisfeiler Conjectures The aim of the series of talks is to give a brief introduction to the methods of the modular representation theory of Lie algebras. Many of these enter into work related to the solution of the Kac-Weisfeiler conjectures . Our talks will be based on the first four sections of the paper [1], with [2] serving as a reference for background material. Below is a list of talks, each of which is supposed to take about 30 minutes. Due to the complexity of the paper, we will often only be able to provide the general ideas involved rather than supplying all arguments in full detail. Talks Survey: The Kac-Weisfeiler Conjectures.

As RIA Novosti was told on Tuesday by Commander of the Limited Group of the Russian Troops in the Dniester Region Lieutenant-General Valery Yevnevich, "the Russian Armed Forces had nothing to do with the detainment of Ilascu and his brigade." On July 4, the European Human Rights Court in Strasbourg will consider the question of initiating proceedings in connection with Ilascu's law suit against Russia and Moldova. According to the version of the plaintiff, at the beginning of 1990s, he and his supporters were illegally detained and were kept in the disposition of the units of the 14th army in the Dniester region.

More detail Russia, Ukraine and the OSCE are successfully playing the role of mediators and guarantors in the Dniester settlement, said Moldovan President Vladimir Voronin, speaking on national television on Monday evening. He was flatly against "the internationalisation of the process" of the final settlement of the Dniester problem. More detail President Leonid Kuchma of Ukraine rules out trade warfare between Ukraine and Russia. The Ukrainian leader made such a statement Tuesday commenting on Russia's introduction since July 1 the value-added tax (VAT) on imported Ukrainian commodities. The Ukrainian government, in its turn, also introduced VAT on Russian goods. More detail

    Extractions: ANTHONY TROLLOPE When I received the list of participants in this course and realized that I had been asked to speak to philosophical colleagues I thought, after some hesitation and consultation, that you would probably prefer me to speak about those problems which interest me most, and about those developments with which I am most intimately acquainted. I therefore decided to do what I have never done before: to give you a report on my own work in the philosophy of science, since the autumn of1919 when I first began to grapple with the problem, "When should a theory be ranked as scientific?" or "Is there a criterion for the scientific character or status of a theory?" The problem which troubled me at the time was neither, "When is a theory true?"nor, "When is a theory acceptable?" My problem was different. I wished to distinguish between science and pseudo-science;

    Extractions: Home Support for Teachers EXAMPLES, PATTERNS, AND CONJECTURES theorem You can introduce the ideas and activities discussed below as the need for them arises during student investigations. If a student uses a particular technique, highlight that approach for the class. Once a conjecture is posed, ask the class what they need to do to understand it and begin to develop an outline that all can use. Regular opportunities for practice with the different skills (organizing data, writing conjectures, etc.) will lead to greater student sophistication over time. In order to get a better view of the "big" picture of a problem, we try to produce examples in a systematic fashion. We often have to choose examples from an infinite domain. These examples should be representative, in ways that we deem significant, of all of the elements of the domain. For example, a problem involving real numbers might involve positive, negative, whole, rational, and irrational examples. Numbers that are less than one or of great magnitude might also be important. In addition to this broad sampling, we also want to generate examples in a patterned way so that relationships between variables stand out (see Organizing Data below).
