It is shown that if $\gamma: [a,b] \to S^2$ is $C^3$ with $\det(\gamma, \gamma', \gamma'') \neq 0$, and if $A \subseteq \mathbb{R}^3$ is a Borel set, then $\dim \pi_{\theta} (A) \geq \min\left\{ 2,\dim A, \frac{ \dim A}{2} + \frac{3}{4}…

Using ideas from the geometry of compression, we improve on the current upper and lower bounds of the Heilbronn triangle problem. In particular, let $\Delta(s)$ denote the minimal area of the triangle induced by $s$ points on a unit disk.…

Consider a branching Brownian motion (BBM). It is well known \cite{Bramson1983ConvergenceOS, Lalley1987ACL} that the rightmost particle is located near \( m_t = \sqrt{2} t - \frac{3}{2\sqrt{2}} \log t \). Let $\mathcal{N}(t,x)$ be the set…

In the round 6-sphere, null-torsion holomorphic curves are fundamental examples of minimal surfaces. This class of minimal surfaces is quite rich: By a theorem of Bryant, extended by Rowland, every closed Riemann surface may be conformally…

We consider steady-state diffusion in a three-dimensional bounded domain with a smooth reflecting boundary that is partially covered by small partially reactive patches. By using the method of matched asymptotic expansions, we investigate…

Given a bounded open set $\Omega$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ (or a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary), and a partition of $\Omega$ by $k$ open sets $\omega_j$, we consider the quantity $\max_j \lambda(\omega_j)$, where $\lambda(\omega_j)$ is…
