We solve a randomized version of the following open question: is there a strictly convex, bounded curve \gamma in the plane such that the number of rational points on \gamma, with denominator $n$, approaches infinity with $n$? Although this…
We prove a sharp bound for the remainder term of the number of lattice points inside a ball, when averaging over a compact set of (not necessarily unimodular) lattices, in dimensions two and three. We also prove that such a bound cannot…
We present a rough estimation -- up to four significant digits, based on the scaling hypothesis and the probability of belonging to the largest cluster vs. the occupation probability -- of the critical occupation probabilities for the…
We study vectors chosen at random from a compact convex polytope in $\mathbb{R}^n$ given by a finite number of linear constraints. We determine which projections of these random vectors are asymptotically normal as $n\to\infty$. Marginal…
Let $E$ be a bounded open subset of $\mathbb{R}^n$. We study the following questions: For i.i.d. samples $X_1, \dots, X_N$ drawn uniformly from $E$, what is the probability that $\cup_i \mathbf{B}(X_i, \delta)$, the union of $\delta$-balls…
Let $U_1,U_2,\ldots$ be random points sampled uniformly and independently from the $d$-dimensional upper half-sphere. We show that, as $n\to\infty$, the $f$-vector of the $(d+1)$-dimensional convex cone $C_n$ generated by $U_1,\ldots,U_n$…
In the random geometric graph model $\mathsf{Geo}_d(n,p)$, we identify each of our $n$ vertices with an independently and uniformly sampled vector from the $d$-dimensional unit sphere, and we connect pairs of vertices whose vectors are…
We consider the problem $(\mathrm{P})$ of fitting $n$ standard Gaussian random vectors in $\mathbb{R}^d$ to the boundary of a centered ellipsoid, as $n, d \to \infty$. This problem is conjectured to have a sharp feasibility transition: for…
Consider a set P of N random points on the unit sphere of dimension $d-1$, and the symmetrized set S = P union (-P). The halving polyhedron of S is defined as the convex hull of the set of centroids of N distinct points in S. We prove that…
We equip the edges of a deterministic graph $H$ with independent but not necessarily identically distributed weights and study a generalized version of matchings (i.e. a set of vertex disjoint edges) in $H$ satisfying the property that…
Consider some convex body $K\subset\mathbb R^d$. Let $X_1,\dots, X_k$, where $k\leq d$, be random points independently and uniformly chosen in $K$, and let $\xi_k$ be a uniformly distributed random linear $k$-plane. We show that for…
We establish formulae for the moments of the moments of the characteristic polynomials of random orthogonal and symplectic matrices in terms of certain lattice point count problems. This allows us to establish asymptotic formulae when the…
Random planar graphs have been the subject of much recent work. Many basic properties of the standard uniform random planar graph P_{n}, by which we mean a graph chosen uniformly at random from the set of all planar graphs with vertex set…
Polyhedral-type approximations of convex-like domains in $\mathbb{C}^d$ have been considered recently by the second author. In particular, the decay rate of the error in optimal volume approximation as a function of the number of facets has…
In this paper we develop tools for studying limit theorems by means of convexity. We establish bounds for the discrepancy in total variation between probability measures $\mu$ and $\nu$ such that $\nu$ is log-concave with respect to $\mu$.…
Consider the binomial model $G^{d+1}(n,p)$ of the random $(d+1)$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices, where each edge is present, independently of one another, with probability $p:\mathbb{N}\to[0,1]$. We prove that, for all…
We prove a superdiffusive central limit theorem for the displacement of a test particle in the periodic Lorentz gas in the limit of large times $t$ and low scatterer densities (Boltzmann-Grad limit). The normalization factor is $\sqrt{t\log…
We consider the (unoriented) long-range percolation on Z^d in dimensions d\ge1, where distinct sites x,y\in Z^d get connected with probability p_{xy}\in[0,1]. Assuming p_{xy}=|x-y|^{-s+o(1)} as |x-y|\to\infty, where s>0 and |\cdot| is a…
We consider the dynamic large deviation behaviour of Kac's collisional process for a range of initial conditions including equilibrium. We prove an upper bound with a rate function of the type which has previously been found for kinetic…
Let $P$ be a $\delta$-separated $(\delta, s, C_P)$-set of points in $B(0, 1)\subset \mathbb{R}^d$ and $\Pi$ be a $\delta$-separated $(\delta, t, C_\Pi)$-set of hyperplanes intersecting $B(0, 1)$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$. Define \[I_{C\delta}(P,…
