We consider the discrepancy of the integer lattice with respect to the collection of all translated copies of a dilated convex body having a finite number of flat, possibly non-smooth, points in its boundary. We estimate the $L^{p}$ norm of…
We generalize Dirichlet's diophantine approximation theorem to approximating any real number $\alpha$ by a sum of two rational numbers $\frac{a_1}{q_1} + \frac{a_2}{q_2}$ with denominators $1 \leq q_1, q_2 \leq N$. This turns out to be…
A transition from asymmetric to symmetric patterns in time-dependent extended systems is described. It is found that one dimensional cellular automata, started from fully random initial conditions, can be forced to evolve into complex…
We consider a certain equidistributed sequence of rational numbers constructed from the primes. In particular, we determine the sharp convergence rate for the star discrepancy of said sequence. Our arguments are based on well-known…
The desired shifts of the boundaries of spectral allowed zones of periodical systems are demonstrated. In particular, the phenomenon of merging neighbor allowed zones is exhibited and its simple explanation is given. It is also shown how to…
We extend an implicit regularization scheme to be applicable in the $n$-dimensional space-time. Within this scheme divergences involving parity violating objects can be consistently treated without recoursing to dimensional continuation.…
Khinchin proved that the arithmetic mean of continued fraction digits of Lebesgue almost every irrational number in $(0,1)$ diverges to infinity. Hence, none of the classical limit theorems such as the weak and strong laws of large numbers…
By a profound result of Heinrich, Novak, Wasilkowski, and Wo{\'z}niakowski the inverse of the star-discrepancy $n^*(s,\ve)$ satisfies the upper bound $n^*(s,\ve) \leq c_{\mathrm{abs}} s \ve^{-2}$. This is equivalent to the fact that for any…
We present a geometric way of describing the irrationality of a number using the area of a circular sector $A(r)$. We establish a connection between this and the continued fraction expansion of the number, and prove bounds for $A(r)$ as…
We introduce discrepancy values, quantities inspired by the notion of the spectral spread of Hermitian matrices. We define them as the discrepancy between two consecutive Ky-Fan-like seminorms. As a result, discrepancy values share many…
In the past years many possible extensions of the Standard Model (SM) have been investigated. If one of this model is revealed at the LHC, we will need tools to distinguish it among the many others studied. One possibility to achieve this…
The discrepancy sum $D_N(x,\rho)$ for irrational rotations has been of interest to mathematicians for over a century. While historically studied in an ``almost-everywhere'' or asymptotic sense, $D_N$ for finite N is increasingly an object…
Given a positive increasing function $\varphi$, we show that for a full measure set of vectors $\alpha\in \mathbb{R}^d$, the maximal ergodic discrepancy of the $d$-linear form sequence $\left\{\sum_{1\le i\le d} k_i\alpha_i \mod…
In this paper, we study multi-rotation orbits on the unit circle. We obtain a natural generalization of a classical result which says that orbits of irrational rotations on the unit circle are dense. It is possible to show that this result…
Using conformal field theory (CFT) arguments we derive an infinite number of constraints on the large spin expansion of the anomalous dimensions and structure constants of higher spin operators. These arguments rely only on analiticity,…
We consider controlled martingales with bounded steps where the controller is allowed at each step to choose the distribution of the next step, and where the goal is to hit a fixed ball at the origin at time $n$. We show that the algebraic…

In this paper we obtain a sharp upper bound for the number of solutions to a certain diophantine inequality involving fractions with power denominator. This problem is motivated by a conjecture of Zhao concerning the spacing of such…
For all $s \geq 1$ and $N \geq 1$ there exist sequences $(z_1,\ldots,z_N)$ in $[0,1]^s$ such that the star-discrepancy of these points can be bounded by $$D_N^*(z_1,\ldots,z_N) \leq c \frac{\sqrt{s}}{\sqrt{N}}.$$ The best known value for…
Anomalous coarsening in far-from equilibrium one-dimensional systems is investigated by simulation and analytic techniques. The minimal hard core particle (exclusion) models contain mechanisms of aggregated particle diffusion, with rates…
