Uniform probability distributions on $\ell_p$ balls and spheres have been studied extensively and are known to behave like product measures in high dimensions. In this note we consider the uniform distribution on the intersection of a…

Consider the integer points lying on the sphere of fixed radius projected onto the unit sphere. Duke showed that, on congruence conditions for the radius squared, these points equidistribute. To further this study of equidistribution, we…

The distribution function of particles over clusters is proposed for a system of identical intersecting spheres, the centres of which are uniformly distributed in space. Consideration is based on the concept of the rank number of clusters,…

The spherical cap discrepancy is a widely used measure for how uniformly a sample of points on the sphere is distributed. Being hard to compute, this discrepancy measure is typically replaced by some lower or upper estimates when designing…

It is shown that a separated sequence of points in the unit disc of the complex plane is in fact uniformly separated, if there exists a certain intermediate sequence whose separated subsequences are uniformly separated. This property is…

In this work we present a study on the characterization of ordered and disordered hyperuniform point distributions on spherical surfaces. In spite of the extensive literature on disordered hyperuniform systems in Euclidean geometries, to…

In this article, we consider `$N$'spherical caps of area $4\pi p$ were uniformly distributed over the surface of a unit sphere. We are giving the strong threshold function for the size of random caps to cover the surface of a unit sphere.…

This study is motivated by a series of recent papers that show that, if a given deterministic sequence in the unit interval has a Poisson pair correlation function, then the sequence is uniformly distributed. Analogous results have been…

This note treats several problems for the fractional perimeter or $s$-perimeter on the sphere. The spherical fractional isoperimetric inequality is established. It turns out that the equality cases are exactly the spherical caps.…

Geometric properties of $N$ random points distributed independently and uniformly on the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^{d}\subset\mathbb{R}^{d+1}$ with respect to surface area measure are obtained and several related conjectures are posed. In…

We study random spherical harmonics at shrinking scales. We compare the mass assigned to a small spherical cap with its area, and find the smallest possible scale at which, with high probability, the discrepancy between them is small…

In this paper, we mainly consider the problem of spherical distribution of 5 points, that is, how to configure 5 points on a sphere such that the mutual distance sum attains the maximum. It is conjectured that the sum of distances is…
