Let $m,n>1$ be integers and $\mathbb{P}_{n,m}$ be the point set of the projective $(n-1)$-space (defined by [2]) over the ring $\mathbb{Z}_m$of integers modulo $m$. Let $A_{n,m}=(a_{uv})$ be the matrix with rows and columns being labeled by…

We use the convolution method for arithmetic functions of several variables to deduce an asymptotic formula for the number of $k$-tuples of positive integers with components which are pairwise non-coprime and $\le x$. More generally, we…

Two well-known polytopes whose vertices are indexed by permutations in the symmetric group $\mathfrak{S}_n$ are the permutohedron $P_n$ and the Birkhoff polytope $B_n$. We consider polytopes $P_n(\Pi)$ and $B_n(\Pi)$, whose vertices…

We describe a perturbation method that can be used to reduce the problem of finding the multivariate generating function (MGF) of a non-simple polytope to computing the MGF of simple polytopes. We then construct a perturbation that works…

We prove matching asymptotic lower and upper bounds on the variances of the intrinsic volumes and the number of $k$-faces of $d$-dimensional random beta-polytopes. Using Stein's methods, we establish central limit theorems for the intrinsic…

Let $K$ be a $d$ dimensional convex body with a twice continuously differentiable boundary and everywhere positive Gauss-Kronecker curvature. Denote by $K_n$ the convex hull of $n$ points chosen randomly and independently from $K$ according…

We apply some of the ideas of the Ph.D. Thesis of G. A. Margulis to Teichmuller space. Let x be a point in Teichmuller space, and let B_R(x) be the ball of radius R centered at x (with distances measured in the Teichmuller metric). We…

We investigate the complexity of counting the number of integer points in tropical polytopes, and the complexity of calculating their volume. We study the tropical analogue of the outer parallel body and establish bounds for its volume. We…

For each pair $(m,n)$ of positive integers with $(m,n)\not= (1,1)$ and an arbitrary field $\bf F$ with algebraic closure $\overline{\bf F}$, let $\rm Po^{d,m}_n(\bf F)$ denote the space of $m$-tuples $(f_1(z),\cdots ,f_m(z))\in \bf F [z]^m$…

This paper investigates a real-valued topological invariant of 3-manifolds called topological volume. For a given 3-manifold M it is defined as the smallest volume of the complement of a (possibly empty) hyperbolic link in M. Various…

We examine a Chern-Simons matrix model which we propose as a toy model for studying the quantum nature of black holes in 2+1 gravity. Its dynamics is described by two $N\times N$ matrices, representing the two spatial coordinates. The model…

The Minkowski mixed volume of $n$ subpolytopes $D_1, \dots, D_n$ of a polytope $P \subset {\mathbb R}^n$ clearly does not exceed the normalized volume $n! \text{Vol}(P)$. Equality holds if and only if the subpolytopes are interlaced, i.e.,…

For a fixed integer base $b\geq2$, we consider the number of compositions of $1$ into a given number of powers of $b$ and, related, the maximum number of representations a positive integer can have as an ordered sum of powers of $b$. We…

We consider locally symmetric manifolds with a fixed universal covering, and construct for each such manifold M a simplicial complex R whose size is proportional to the volume of M. When M is non-compact, R is homotopically equivalent to M,…

We study the asymptotic behaviour of $\sum_{m,n\le x} \tau_{1,2}(mn)$, where $\tau_{1,2}(n) = \sum_{a b^2 = n} 1$, using multidimensional Perron formula and complex integration method. An asymptotic formula with an error term $O(x^{10/7})$…

Let v be a multiplicative arithmetic function with support of positive asymptotic density. We prove that for any not identically zero arithmetic function f such that \sum_{f(n) \neq 0} 1 / n < \infty, the support of the Dirichlet…

We show that a nontrivial graph isomorphism problem of two undirected graphs, and more generally, the permutation similarity of two given $n\times n$ matrices, is equivalent to equalities of volumes of the induced three convex bounded…

Stationary and isotropic iteration stable random tessellations are considered, which can be constructed by a random process of cell division. The collection of maximal polytopes at a fixed time $t$ within a convex window $W\subset{\Bbb…

We study optimal transport plans from $m$ equally weighted points (with weights $1/m$) to $n$ equally weighted points (with weights $1/n$). The Birkhoff-von Neumann Theorem implies that if $m=n$, then the optimal transport plan can be…

In this short note, we compute the precise asymptotics for the number of contingency tables with non-uniform margins. More precisely, for parameter $n,\delta, B,C>0$, we consider the set of matrices whose first $[n^\delta]$ rows and columns…
