We prove the following variant of Marstrand's theorem about projections of cartesian products of sets: Let $K_1,...,K_n$ Borel subsets of $\mathbb R^{m_1},... ,\mathbb R^{m_n}$ respectively, and $\pi:\mathbb R^{m_1}\times...\times\mathbb…

The well know theorem of Tverberg states that if n > (d+1)(r-1) then one can partition any set of n points in R^d to r disjoint subsets whose convex hulls have a common point. The numbers T(d,r) = (d + 1)(r - 1) + 1 are known as Tverberg…

Let $k, t$ be coprime integers, and let $1 \leq r \leq t$. We let $D_k^\times(r,t;n)$ denote the total number of parts among all $k$-indivisible partitions (i.e., those partitions where no part is divisible by $k$) of $n$ which are…

We prove that the number of even parts and the number of times that parts are repeated have the same distribution over integer partitions with a fixed perimeter. This refines Straub's analog of Euler's Odd-Distinct partition theorem. We…

We prove that any convex body in the plane can be partitioned into $m$ convex parts of equal areas and perimeters for any integer $m\ge 2$; this result was previously known for prime powers $m=p^k$. We also discuss possible…

Kim and Vu made the following conjecture (\textit{Advances in Mathematics}, 2004): if $d\gg \log n$, then the random $d$-regular graph $G(n,d)$ can be ``sandwiched'' between $G(n,p_*)$ and $G(n,p^*)$ where $p_*$ and $p^*$ are both…

Tverberg's theorem is one of the cornerstones of discrete geometry. It states that, given a set $X$ of at least $(d+1)(r-1)+1$ points in $\mathbb R^d$, one can find a partition $X=X_1\cup \ldots \cup X_r$ of $X$, such that the convex hulls…

The classic Ham-Sandwich theorem states that for any $d$ measurable sets in $\mathbb{R}^d$, there is a hyperplane that bisects them simultaneously. An extension by B\'ar\'any, Hubard, and Jer\'onimo [DCG 2008] states that if the sets are…

Assume that $k \le d$ is a positive integer and $\C$ is a finite collection of convex bodies in $\R^d$. We prove a Helly type theorem: If for every subfamily $\C^*\subset \C$ of size at most $\max \{d+1,2(d-k+1)\}$ the set $\bigcap \C^*$…

Consider partitions, of a cardinality $(q-1)(d+1)+1$ generic subset of euclidean $d$-space, into $q$ parts whose convex hulls have a nonempty intersection. We show that if these partitions are counted with appropriate signs $\pm 1$ then the…

The classical Steinhaus theorem (\cite{Steinhaus1920}) says that if $A \subset {\Bbb R}^d$ has positive Lebesgue measure than $A-A=\{x-y: x,y \in A\}$ contains an open ball. We obtain some quantitative lower bounds on the size of this ball…

We use the measurable Hall's theorem due to Cie\'sla and Sabok to prove that (i) if two measurable sets $A,B \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ of the same measure are bounded remainder sets with respect to a given irrational $d$-dimensional vector…

The classic Birkhoff- von Neumann theorem states that the set of doubly stochastic matrices is the convex hull of the permutation matrices. In this paper, we study a generalisation of this theorem in the type $II_1$ setting. Namely, we…

For any integer $r \geq 1$, the sequence of numbers $\{{c^{(r)}_{k}}\}_{k \geq 0} $ is defined implicitly by [\sum_k\binom{n}{k}^r\binom{n+k}{k}^r = \sum_k\binom{n}{k}\binom{n+k}{k}c^{(r)}_k,\quad n=0,1,2,...] Asmus Schmidt conjectured that…

We provide a Sandwich Theorem (K\"onig (1972)) for positively homogeneous functionals that satisfy additivity only on a restricted domain. Our relaxation of additivity is based on a binary relation called convex-conic symmetric preorder,…

Motivated by an open problem from graph drawing, we study several partitioning problems for line and hyperplane arrangements. We prove a ham-sandwich cut theorem: given two sets of n lines in R^2, there is a line l such that in both line…

Suppose that $C$ is a bounded, convex subset of $\mathbb{R}^n$, and that $P_1, \dots, P_k$ are planks which cover $C$ in respective directions $v_1, \dots, v_k$ and with widths $w_1, \dots, w_k$. In 1951, Bang conjectured that the sum of…

A cubic partition consists of partition pairs $(\lambda,\mu)$ such that $\vert\lambda\vert+\vert\mu\vert=n$ where $\mu$ involves only even integers but no restriction is placed on $\lambda$. This paper initiates the notion of generalized…

In this paper we prove a strong Hahn-Banach theorem: separation of disjoint convex sets by linear forms is possible without any further conditions, if the target field $\R$ is replaced by a more general real closed extension field. From…

Let $C_1$ and $C_2$ be two Cantor sets with convex hull $[0,1]$. Newhouse proved if $\tau(C_1)\cdot \tau(C_2)\geq 1$, then the arithmetic sum $C_1+C_2$ is an interval, where $\tau(C_i), 1\leq i\leq 2$ denotes the thickness of $C_i$. In this…
