We consider an even probability distribution on the $d$-dimensional Euclidean space with the property that it assigns measure zero to any hyperplane through the origin. Given $N$ independent random vectors with this distribution, under the…

We use a probabilistic interpretation of solid angles to generalize the well-known fact that the inner angles of a triangle sum to 180 degrees. For the 3-dimensional case, we show that the sum of the solid inner vertex angles of a…

We show that for sufficiently large $n\geq 1$ and $d=C n^{3/4}$ for some universal constant $C>0$, a random spectrahedron with matrices drawn from Gaussian orthogonal ensemble has Gaussian surface area $\Theta(n^{1/8})$ with high…

Let $U_1,\ldots,U_n$ be independent random vectors uniformly distributed on the unit sphere $\mathbb S^{d-1}\subseteq\mathbb R^d$, where $n\ge d$, and consider the random polyhedral cone \[ \mathcal W_{n,d}:=\mathop{\mathrm{pos}}…

The equality constraint a+b+c=1 for random triangle sides corresponds to breaking a stick in two places. An analog a^2+b^2+c^2=1 has a remarkable feature: the bivariate density for angles coincides with that for 3D Gaussian triangles.…

We proposed a purely 3-D geometrical solution to Mathematics Magazine Problem 2065. Let $\mathcal{Q}$ be a cube centered at the origin of $\mathbb{R}^3$. Choose a unit vector $(a,b,c)$ uniformly at random on the surface of the unit sphere…

What is the probability that a random triangle is acute? We explore this old question from a modern viewpoint, taking into account linear algebra, shape theory, numerical analysis, random matrix theory, the Hopf fibration, and much much…

We investigate extremal problems for quasirandom hypergraphs. We say that a $3$-uniform hypergraph $H=(V,E)$ is $(d,\eta)$-quasirandom if for any subset $X\subseteq V$ and every set of pairs $P\subseteq V\times V$ the number of pairs…

Let $\mathbb{P}_{\kappa}(n)$ be the probability that $n$ points $z_1,\ldots,z_n$ picked uniformly and independently in $\mathfrak{C}_\kappa$, a regular $\kappa$-gon with area $1$, are in convex position, that is, form the vertex set of a…

For polyhedral convex cones in ${\mathbb R}^d$, we give a proof for the conic kinematic formula for conic curvature measures, which avoids the use of characterization theorems. For the random cones defined as typical cones of an isotropic…

Consider $d+2$ i.i.d. random points $X_1,\ldots, X_{d+2}$ in $\mathbb R^d$. In this note, we compute the probability that their convex hull is a simplex focusing on three specific distributional settings: (i) the distribution of $X_1$ is…

It has been known that the distribution of the random distances between two uniformly distributed points within a convex polygon can be obtained based on its chord length distribution (CLD). In this report, we first verify the existing…

In this paper, we study rare events in spherical and Gaussian random geometric graphs in high dimensions. In these models, the vertices correspond to points sampled uniformly at random on the $d$ dimensional unit sphere or correspond to $d$…

Consider a $d$-dimensional simplex whose vertices are random points chosen independently according to the standard Gaussian distribution on $\mathbb R^d$. We prove that the expected angle sum of this random simplex equals the angle sum of…
